Sunflower Silage Becomes a Rival of Corn-

Experiments Show that Under Certain Conditions Sunflower Silage is Most Profitable Crop

(C UNFLOWER silage is no good”, says
Tom Brown. “Tis so” says his
neighbor, who has tried it. “It’s every
bit as good as corn silage or a sight better.
There you have it. One man boosts sun-
flower s'lage and another knocks it. The
boosting and knocking are not all done by
individual farmers who milk cows for a
living, either. Experiment stations, forced
by the demands of their supporters, have
undertaken to settle the matter, and their
feeding tests are not always in perfect ac-
cord.

Along came the report from Pennsyl-
vania Experiment Station only a few
weeks ago to the effect that sunflowers
should not be considered as a silage crop
in that state. But testimony from other
experiment stations is just the reverse in
practically every case.

For common sense dictum on the mat-
ter, we must give credit to Wisconsin Ex-
periment Station for saying the right
thing and stopping when it was said. This
recent announcement gives the whole
thing in a nutshell:

What Is Your Experience?

RIVING through the country this

year one saw a frequent sight

which a few years ago was most
uncommon. He saw great fields of
sunflowers growing to ten and twelve
feet in height, and if he didn’t. know any
better he probably thought that most of
the farmers had gone into the business
of raising chicken feed. Many farmers
have raised sunflowers for silage the.
last year or two for the first time, and
many more would like to raise them if
satisfied that they make good silage and
secure goodleeding results. The writ-
er in the accompanying article tells of
what experiments and personal experi—
ences have revealed about silaged sun-
flowers. The Business Farmer would
appreciate accounts of readers who have
used sunflowers for this purpose, with
or without satisfactory results—Editor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

were from one-flourth to one-half in blossom,
or even earlier. Watch the leaves on the sun-
flowers, and when they start to dry up it is
time to think about cutting, to avoid dry,
tough stems and consequent poor silage."

It must be remembered that there are
certain localities where sunflowers fit into
the general run of things, and places where
they do not. This crop hits its stride best
in regions of high altitudes where corn
does not mature enough for silage; in re-
gions of scant rainfall; in sections that
have early frosts in fall. Also, we must
giVe it to sunflowers when it comes to
yielding, for they are far ahead of corn in
that respect, even on poorer soil.

But all these puffs for sunflowers as a
silage crop would be so much hot air if
sunflower silage fell down in feeding tests.
Feeding tests, however, are overwhelming-
ly in favor of sunflowcr silage. Tests at
\Nashington Experiment Station show that
sunflower silage of only medium quality
was 92 per cent as efficient as corn silage
of excellent quality, rich in grain. Thus,
conditions were altogether in favor of corn
silage, and if the two kinds of silage had
been of the same quality, the difference of
eight per cent might have been overcome
and the advantage been in favor of sun-
floWer silage. Cows on sunflower silage
put 011 more weight during the test than

did the cows on

 

flowers or sunflow-
ers and corn mixed,

“One outstanding
reason for this dif-
ferenCe of opinion
lies in the time of
cutting and ensiling
the crop. Inspection
of a large number
of fields in [the last
two years shows
that the lower leaves
begin to dry up

sunflowers begin to
(blossom, and the

FINAL SETTLEMENT FOR 1921
WOOL POOL.
ICHIGAN State Farm Bureau
‘ wool poolers have started to
receive checks in final settleL
ment or their 1920 wool pool. The
wool department in the first week of
October began mailing to 18,000
wool‘ growers the checks which bring
to a. close the successful disposal of
some 3,500,000 'pounds of wool.
three-fifths of which was pooled af~
ter the wool market collapse which
came in June, 1920, says the Farm
Bureau.

Actual drawing of the checks, fin~
a1 statements to growers and the
‘mailing of so large a volume of
checks may take from four to six
Weeks, it is said at the Farm Bureau
wool department. '
Michigan is among the first of the
wool pooling states to make com—
Qlete settlement on the 1920 pool.
Iowa and other western states have
not yet completed payment on their
1920 pool and Illinois farmers are
.otill engaged in settling up their
lpool, but are also hard at work on
the 1921 proposition.
Handling costs of the Michigan
pool are below general expectations.
, At the time that the pool was start-
ed labor, rents and handling ex—
,penses of all kinds were on a war-
;time basis and continued so for a
{long time afterwards. Wool grow-
} are who brought their wool into the
central warehouses at Lansing and
‘ Grand Rapids found their handling
, charge to be three and 24-100 cents
[per pound- Those who shipped by
freight to the warehouses and had
freight, assembling and cartage
lcharges to pay in addition to the
:regular managing. financing, insur-
lamce, warehouse rent, labor, ofl'lce
lmpplies, postage, etc., had a hand-
l ling charge of four and 65-100 cents
; per pound.
‘ These costs are considered quite
.low, taking into account the fact
i that they covered labor, storage, in-
‘ surance. sales work, etc., for an aver-
! age period of 14 months.

 

 

 
 

 

Statistics on hand at the Farm
Bureau show that personal market—
ing of wool through local dealers
' during the war and early post-war
period cost growers around seven
cents a pound.

Despite the tremendous slump in
wool and in face of a market that
was dead until the early spring of
1921, speculators reported buying"
wool as low as five cents a pound,
the farm bureau sold Delaine wool
for farmers at a price which averag-
ed 30 cents a pound. The compos—
ite price on fine clothing was 23.3
cents; one-half staple, 26 cents; one-
half clothing wool, 20 cents; three-
eighths combing wool 25 cents;
three—eighths clothing, 19.3 cents;
quarter combing; 24.6 cents; quarter
clothing 19.4 cents. Other grades
ranged from bucks at 11 cents up
to grades at 19 cents. The October
checks follow a previous cash ad—
vance of ten cents a pound.

Two carloads of wool were sold
from the pool daily from February
15 through August, says the Farm
Bureau. Not until February did the
wool market show what could be con-
sidered as resembling anywhere
near a reasonable price, it is claim—
ed. Most of the 1920 woo.l went to
eastern clothing mills, but a portion
was utilized by the Farm Bureau in
the manufacture of blankets and
cuttings as subsidiary outlets for
wool in the pool. Today the fabrics
manufacturing venture is consider—
ed by the farm bureau to be a flour-
ishing businett

Nearly 3,000,000 pounds of wool
were pooled in 1921, a satisfactory
portion of which has been marketed.
according to the Farm Bureau, which
declares that everything points to a
speedy disposal and closing of the
1921 pool.

Development of the wool pooling
proposition in Michigan is now de-

clared to have reached a plane which
puts it on a par With other wool mar-
.and manufacturing firms.

PROTECTING THE SEED SUPPLY
ARMERS who believe in the doc—
northern
grown seed for such climates

as that of Michigan will view with
displeasure reports from terminal
markets to the effect that certain
dealers are buying up good domes-
tic stocks of clover scgd for blend-
ing with their stocks of: questionable
imported seed for ultimate distribu-
tion to the farmer, says the State

trine of adapted

Farm Bureau.

The practice is an old one. says

the bureau, pointing out that

only effective weapon the farmer has
in protecting himself from' such seed
is to deal only with seed concerns
of highest repute or to take care of
his seed requirements himself thru

*hi own : cooperative; .
which is usually ,in-ra position to Se"- '

cure guaranteed seeds from co-op-
erative sources that are beyond

Colleges and experiiment sta-
tions are waging relentless war on
imported French and Italiian clover
seed, broadcasting the results of
tests which show that the Southern
French and Italian grown seed will
not stand the mild winters of Vir-
ginia and failed miserable in Indi-
ana. The South Dakota Farm Bur-
eau is even seeking legislation to
forbid importation of such seed. In
1920 between sixteen and twenty
milieu pounds of unadapted south-
ern grown clover seed were dumped
on the American market by seed im-
porters,—and farmers got much of
it. The Farm Bureau seed depart—
ment is making every effort to ad-
vise Michigan farmers of worthless-
ness of unadapted seed and to assist
farmers in getting seed that is ad-
apted and true to name

Toledo receipts of clever have
been unusually light this year and
seem to bear out all forecasts that
an exceptionally light crop had been
harvested and that the market would
continue to strengthen for some time
at least, says the Farm Bureau. To-
ledo receipts of clover early in Oc-
tober had totalled 7,000 bags. this
year, compared to 21,600 bags for
the corresponding period in 1920,
and 20,000 bags for the same per-
iod in 1918. Market reports say
that the 1921 crop moved early and
it is believed that most of it has
moved from the farms.

Farm bureau members see in the
present conditions good reasons for
consigning seed, judging from the
several carioads of clover seed which
have been consigned to the farm bur-
eau warehouse at Lansing. There
the farmer is having his seed cleaned
and placed in first class market con-
dition by his own agents. The Farm
Bureau has already made seed con-
signors an advance payment which
is close to the present market value
of the seed, but is also well within
the bounds of safety. At present, ac-
cording to 'the Farm Bureau, many
of the consignors could turn their
seed and realize a good profit, with-
out consigning privileges, it is point-
ed out, many of the consignors would
have had to sell early and at a low5
or price.

A general firming of the seed mar-

ket continued early in October, said ‘

the seed department. An inferior
crop of J une clover, a continued
movement of Mammoth to strong
hands and light offerings of timothy
in face of a rising clover market
were factors that were being reflect-
ed by higher prices _

Most of Michigans vctch crop ro-
mained m the state this year, no-

_ cording to observations of the Farm

Bureau. The seed department alone
turned some 40,000 pounds of you
but to Michigan farmers and ro-
portod that Michigan demand great-
ly acceded sales to other states.

Facts About the Michigan Fluid Milk Business

, Some Information on Prices Here and Elsewhere Which the Dairy Farmer Should Know

ROM THEE to time the Business Farmer

has published facts upon the milk business
in this and other states, in an honest desire to
keep its readers informed on what they should
know about the economic phases of this indus-
try. On occasions the veracity of these state-
ments and the justice of the conclusions have
been called into question by those who are
either ignorant of the facts themselves or be-
cause of personal interests, desire to mislead
the producers.

The Business Farmer makes no secret of the
fact that it disapproves of the sundry meth-
ods employed in the Detroit and other areas
of this state to adjudicate differences between
producers and distributors or manufacturers.
This opposition rests

By THE EDITOR

but they will be encouraged to produce goods
of higher quality which it does not pay to
produce under the present system. In an en-
deavor to support this belief the Business
Farmer has searched the country for success-
ful examples of the producer-to-consumer mar-
keting ventures. It has found many of these
and told its readers about them, hoping that
they might be induced to adopt the newer and
more eflicient methods. In all cases the Bus-
iness Farmer has been scrupulously fair and
has never knowingly misrepresented the situ-
ation.

It is comm0n knowledge that the present

one would be excused for thinking that they
would be interested in learning what other
associations have done in marketing and tell
their members all about it. But it seems that
the producers’ association, as officially consti-
t4t€d at the present time, has made no effort

    
 
 

 
   
 

to inform its readers of what has been done v

rlsewhere, and they show a strange reluctance
to having anyone else tell the farmers.

The Michigan Milk Messenger, edited by
the secretary of the Association, has more than
'vnce indirectly charged the Business Farmer
with distorting facts for the purpose of de-
ceiving members of the Association.
rotary has persistently claimed that the De-
troit milk price averages higher than the price

paid in other “com-

Brody Appointment Completes Farmer Control of Board of Agriculture

WO YEARS ago the farmers swore they

would control the Board of Agriculture
and the policies of the M. A. C. They have
made good their thmt Today every member
of the Board is a farmer. This has been made
possible by the control of two political con-
ventions and the voluntary resignation of Mr.
W. E. Wallace, the sugar manufacturer, and
John W. Beamorrt, Detroit attorney. ' Gov.
Groes’beck appointexl John Doelle to fill out
Wallace’s term, and last week Clark Brody,
cometary of the Michigan State Farm Bureau
was named to fill the Beaumont nomich The
Board now consists of the following persons:
Jason Woodman, Dora H. Stockman, L. Whit-
ney Watkins, John Doelle, Malcolm Mac-
Pherson, Clark Brody.

Mr. Brody was appointed secretary of the
farm bureau last January, succeeding Mr,
Chas. Bingham, and has made a splendid
record for econom7 and efl‘iciency. It is said
that as a result of his administrttian the over.

able man and will render the people of the
state good service on the Board of Agriculture.
.The appointment of. Brody brings up the
question of he future connection with the
Farm Bureau. The Farm Bureau’s constitu-
tion provides that no officer shall accept an
elective or appointive political position. The
question was brought up once before when
Brody was named on the State Fair Board,
but at that time the Farm Bureau directors
decided that he not an official but an em-
ploye of the Bureau, inasmuch as he is hired
and not elected. That seems to be a reason-
able interpretation, and will probably have
the approval of the membership.

Largest M. A. C. Attendance

HE MICHIGAN Agricultural College

opened its 64th year on October 4 with
the largest enrollment in the history of the
institution. At noon Thursday 1771 were
enrolled. in the four-year courses and more
were yet to register.. Probably the total will
pass the 1800 mark, This enrollment surpas-
ses by more than 200 any previous year's en-
rollment, In 1916 the banner year before

 

only 1550 regular four-year students were
entered. Since then the greatest enrollment
uas 1,484 in 1920. The number this repre-
sents an increase of more than 20 per cent.

The number in the different divisions on
Wednesday afternoon were as follows: Agri-
culture, 514; Engineering, 548; Home Econ-
omics, 378; Applied Science, 108. Of this
number more than 675 are first-year students,

which is 100 more than in any previous year. .

Announcement has just been made that Dr.

Co-operation on Trial

HE RECENT chnrgc of a speaker for

the grain dealers that, thc pooling scheme
of the United Grain Growers" inc, has fallen
through, coupled with the undoubted fact lhnt
the plan has not [not with tihc cordial rcsponsc
which its sponsors hopcd for, brings into
question the prcscnt, status of the co-opcra-
tive movement in this country, and what its
ultimate fate may be expcclcd to be.

It is folly to deny the truth. A lot of
farmers have lost faith in cooperation and a
lot more are wavering ’twixt hope and doubt.
The reasons for this are many. One of them
is they expected too much in a short period
of time. illillly farn'icrs wcre induced to join
co-operative organizations upon the strength of
glittering promises by glib salesmen who were
more concerned about hanging up a salesman-
ship record than in the permanency of results.
Some of those farmers are not co-operators at
heart and become impnlicnt if results are not
immediately forthcoming. '

A part of the blninc for existing dissatis-
faction can be laid at, the door of farm org-(in-
ization leaders. In many instances they have
voted themselves salaries which appear to
farmers to be exhorbitantly high. As an
actual fact few of these salaries are out of
line with the magnitude of the work being
undertaken but it was a psychological mistake
to place salaries so high during the formative
stages of organization, before anything con-
crete had been accomplished. Morcvcr, some
very bad mistakes of judgement have been
made which have cost the farmers heavily.
But the leaders are not to be entirely blamed
for that because most of us have made the
same mistakes the last two years.

The failure of co-opcration to come up to“

the expectations of the farmers is largely the
fault of the times. The period through which
We have passed the last three years has not
been conducive to the success of any busi-
ness. It has been particularly disastrous to
the co—operatives because in many instances
the managers were inexperienced men who
could not be expected to know what course to
take when men long years in the business
were themselves at a loss. Most of the co—op—
crativcs haVe lost money. Some of them have
‘failed, costing their members heavily. Coin-
cidentally prices of farm products have drop-
ped and thoughtless farmers have either laid
the blame at the door of their organizations
or criticized them for doing so little to steady
the markets, when as a motto? of fact no
human power could have cut ely prevented
the collapse. The farm organizations have
succeeded in securing legislation which has
helped materially to stem the downward
_  movement and stabilize prices. What they
 have done along this line is alone worth their
' cost to the farmers. \
“ *- Had the present co-operative movement, the

tempted just before the war all’would have
been different. Prices were steadily rising
and co—operative managers would have had a
larger margin to work on. There would have
been no losses and farmers Would have been
satisfied. Co-operation would have received a
large measure of the credit for higher prices
and larger prosperity even though it might
have had nothing at all to do with the situa-
tion. It was co-operation’s misfortune that
it should have been presented to the American
former at the most inopportune time in the
last fifty years. But cooperation is in nowise
to blame for falling prices. On the contrary
it has had an indirect influence in the final
steadying of the market, and through the sav-
ings it has made in purchasing and the bene-
fits it has secured for agriculture through log
islation has been of incalculable value to the
farmers. '

What will be the outcome? There are
countries,——Denmark, for instance,——Where no
one would think of asking such an absurd
question. Cooperation has been tried for
generations, and it has stood the test. And
co-operation will stand the test in the United
States if given a chance. But farmers must
not become too impatient of results. The nig-
gcst business enterprises in the world did not
always return d'vidcnds the first five years of
their existence, and that may be the case with
the co—opcrative business. Co—opcration is on
trial but we believe the verdict will be a favor-
able one.

“That Insane Prohibition Amendment”

\T lip-STATE reader discoutinucs his

subscription to the Buisncss Farmer be-
came it “upholds that insane prohibition
amendment which is filling our prisons, etc”.
Good-bye, dcar subscriber. “’9 hate to lose
you. But we would rather lose you than our
convictions and our sense of obligation to the
generations who will live upon this earth
after your bones and ours are rotting in the
grave.

How short the memory of man when it
comes to remembering things which he doesn’t
want to remember! The law of the majority
is the law of this Republic. The law of the
majority put the booze business out of Mich-
igan in 19M, and the law of a biggcr major—
ity prevented the adoption of a light wine
and beer amendment a few months later. The
law of the majority ousted the saloon in pop-
ular elections in something over thirty states
and the law of the majority put the ban of
the federal government upon it at a time
when personal efficiency was absolutely neces-
sary to the very life of the nation. The law of
the majority is putting the criminals who
are violating the liquor laWs behind the bars
where they belong with the violators of the
murder laws, burglary laws, forgery laws and
.all the other laws which are necessary to the
protectiou of civilized nations.

The men and women who are against booze
are not to blame because the prisons are full.
They are trying to do all they can to teach
the lawless minority that illicit whiskey mak-
ing and selling does not pay. and “as they
sow they shall also reap”. No, good friends,
it is our ex-subscr’bcr and a few paltry thous-
ands like him who either break the law them-
selves, or by their very attitude encourage
others to break it, and become subject to im-
prisonmcnt.

The prohibition amendment is the law of the
United States of America. That ought to be
enough to compel every American citizen to
observe it. Were we deadly opposed to pro-
hibition we would obey that law because we
believe in law enforcement and we know that
contempt of one law leads eventually to con-

tempt of all law. Violations of the prohibi-.

tion law have reached their crest. From now
011 they will decline. The conscience of the
people is be’ng awakened and the law‘cnforc-
ing bodies have at last bccome organized to
do efficient business. All citizens of Michigan
should realize that legal'zed booze is gone for-
ever and do their duty to help put down that
vicious and dangerous element which persists
in the illicit manufacture and sale of, alcohol.

 somemouth medics whom

foolish enough to say that almost every
disease to which the human system is a prey

   

Y can be traced to defective teeth. Rheumatism

and rickets, corns and carbuncles, mumps and
measles, itch and in-growing toenails, and a
thousand other ailments get their start from
bad molars, so they say.. The moral is, “get
your teeth fixed”.

Now whether or no the teeth are responsi-
ble for all the crimes with which they are
charged against the human body, doesn’t mat—
ter at all. But it does matter that poor teeth
cause poor health in some form or other, and
it does matter that good health can often be
regained by cleansing the teeth of their put-
refactions and filling up the holes where the
germs have their hiding places.

In recent years chronic invalids and people
suffering from maladies which have ba ed
physicians have been miraculously returned .to
health by the removal of diseased molar roots
which the thoughtless patients or bungling
dentists had left to decay. These roots had
given no pain but had been insidiously and un—
suspectingly poisoning the system until it
could no longer resist.

Dr. Kenneth Gibson, director of Michigan’s
newly organized bureau of dentistry and oral
hygiene, estimates that there are a million
cavities,——in the mouths,——of Michigan school
children which are causing them annoyance
and sickness, and ought to be filled. Of
course, someone is going to get up at this point
and say that the doctor is speaking once for
the poor school children of Michigan and twice
for the poor dental profession, which he prob-
ably isn’t and it doesn’t matter if he is. All
of us have enough common sense to know that
a. child or a grown person cannot be at their
best with their teeth rotting and aching. We
also know that about ninety per cent of us do
not give our teeth the attention they deserve.
So we are inclined to second the advice given
by Dr. Gibson when he says: “Take your
child to the dentist at least once a year”. If
that advice were rel‘giously followed out by
all we would raise healthier boys and girls.

 

Still Flirting

NFORMATION comes to the Business Farm-
cr from an apparently reliable source that
the Michigan State Farm Bureau, through one
of its directors, is still flirting with the notor-
ious “Coalition Committee”, which wasrorgan-
izcd in Michigan a couple of years ago “to
combat agricultural unrest,” and has made
several attempts to get its fingers on the poli-
cies of Michigan farm organizations. The
chief exhorter for this bunch of super propa-
gandists is one Dr. Perry, who appears fre-
quently at meetings of farmers and business
men and pleads with them to uphold the Con-
stitution and not become bolshevists. How a
farmer can sit through one of Perry’s meefr
ings and listen to the insinuations that he and
his neighbors are not good Americans is more
than we can understand. But that’s another
matter. So far as the Farm Bureau is con-
cerned, we don’t believe it is in any position to
flirt with an organization of this kind. The
Bureau is not invulnerable to outside influ-
ences by any means and it cannot afford to
open the door for anyone to charge that its pol—
icies are subject to outside dictation. The
Farm Bureau should break away from the
Coalition Committee or the Coalition Commit-

tee may break the Farm Bureau.

(amassed  last week) I
' '1' THAT Neewa gathered his fat

legs under his belly and was oi!

like a shot. Not before in his
life had he run as he ran now. In-
stinct told him that at last he had
met something which was not afraid
of him, and that he was in deadly
peril.
tion, for now that he had made this
mistake he had no idea where he
would find his mother. He could
hear Makoos coming after him. and
as he ran he set up a bawling that
was filled with a wild and agonizing
prayer for help. That cry reached the
faithful old Noozak. In an instant
she was on her feet—and just in
time. Like a round black ball shot
out of a gun Neewa sped past ,the
rock where she had been sleeping,
and ten jumps behind him came
Makoos. Out of the corner of his
eye he saw his mother, but his mo-
mentum carried him past her. In
that moment Noozak leapt into ac-
tion. .As a football player makes a
tackle she rushed out just in time
to catch old Makoos with all her
weight full broadside in the ribs,
and the two old bears rolled over and
over in what to Neewa was an excit-
ing and glorious mix-up.

He had stopped and his eyes bulg-
ed out like shining little onions as
he took in the scene of battle. He
had'longed for a fight but what he
saw now fairly paralyzed him. The
two bears were at it, rearing and
tearing each other's hides and throw-
ing up showers of gravel and earth
in their deadly clinch. In the first

round Noozak had the best of it. She v

had butted the wind out of Makoos
in her first dynamic assault, and
new with her dulled and broken

. teeth at his throat she was lashing

him with her sharp hind claws until
the blood streamed from the old
barbarian's sides and he bellowed
like a. choking bull. Neewa knew
that it was his pursuer who was
getting the worst of it, and with a
squeaky cry for his mother to lam-
bast the very devil out of Makoos
he ran back to the edge of the arena,
his nose crinkled and. his teeth
gleaming in a ferocious snarl. He
danced about excitedly a dozen feet
from the fighters, Soominitik’s blood
filling him with a yearning for the
fray and yet he was afraid.

Then something happened that sud~
<1me and totally upset the madden-
ing joy of his mother’s triumph.
Makeos, being a lie-bear, was of ne-
cessity skilled in fighting, and all
at once he freed himself from Noo-
zak's jaws, wallowed her under him,
and in turn began ripping the hide
of! old Noozak's carcass in such
quantities that she let out an agon-
ised bawling that turned Neewa’s
little heart into stone.

It is a matter of most exciting
conjecture what a email boy will do
when he sees his father getting
licked. If there is an axe handy he
is liable to use it. The most cata-
clysmic catastrophe that can come
into his life is to have a father whom
some other boy’s father has given a
walleping. Next to being president
of the United States the average
small boy treasures the desire to
possess a parent who can whip any
twoalegged creature that wears
trousers. And there were a lot of
human things about Neewa. The
lender his mother bawled the more
distinctly he felt the shock of his
world falling about him. If Noo-
zak had lost a part of her strength
in her old age her voice, at least,
was still unimpaired, and such a
spasm of outcry as she emitted could
have been heard at least half a mile
away. \

Neewa could stand no more.
Blind with rage, he darted in. It
was chance that closed his vicious
little jaws on a" toe that belonged
to Makoos, and his teeth sank into
Hm "ash like two rows of ivory
needles. Makoos gave a tug, but
Neewa .held on, and bit deeper.
. . sinuous drew up his leg and
sent it out like a catapult, and in
spite of his determinatiion to hang on
Neewa found himself sailing thru

Then his vision and his senses re-
turned and he gazed on a scene
that brought all the blood pounding
back into his body again.

Makoos was no longer fighting,
but was running away——-and there
was a decided limp in his gait!

Poor old Noozak was standing on
her feet, facing the retreating en-
emy. She was panting like a wind-
ed calf. Her jaws were agape. Her
tongue lolled' out, and.blood was
dripping in little trickles from her
body to the ground. She had been
thoroughly and efiiciently mauled.
She was beyond the shadow of a
doubt a whipped bear. Yet in that
glorious flight of the enemy Neewa.

saw nothing of Noozak’s defeat.
Their enemy was running away!
Therefore, he was whipped. And

with excited little squeaks of joy
Neewa ran to his mother.

CHAPTER THREE

S THEY stood in the warm sun-
shine of this first day of June,
watching the last of Makoos as

he fled across the creek bottom, Nee-
wa felt very much like an old and
seasoned warrior instead of a pot-
bellied, round-faced cub of four
months who weighed nine pounds and
not four hundred. '

It was many minutes after Neewa
had sunk his ferocious little teeth
deep into the tenderest part of the
)ld he~bear’s toe before Noozak could
get her wind sufficiently to grunt. Her
sides were pumping like a pair of bel-
lows, and after Makoos had disap-
peared beyond the creek Neewa sat
down on his chubby bottom, perked
his funny ears forward, and eyed his
mother with round and glistening
‘eyes that were filled with uneasy
speculation. With a wheezing groan
Noozak turned and made her way
slowly toward the big rock alongside
which she had been sleeping when
Neewa’s fearful cries for help had
awakened her. Every bone ianer
aged body seemed broken or dislocat-
ed. She limped and sagged and
moaned as she walked, and behind
her were left little red trails of blood
In the green grass. Makooe had given
her a fine pummeling.

She lay down, gave a final groan
and looked at Neewa, as if to say:

“If you hadn't gone ofi‘ on some
deviltry and upset that old viper’s
temper this wouldn’t have happened.
An: now—look at me!"

young bear would have ral'li
quickly from the effects of the bi:E
tie, but Noozak lay without moving

 

all the rest of that afternoon, and
the night that followed. And that
night was by all odds the finest that
Neewa had ever seen. Now that the
nights were warm, he had come to
love the moon even more than the
sun, for by birth and instinct he was
more a prowler in darkness than a
hunter of the day. The moon rose
out of the east in a glory of golden
fire. The spruce and balsam forests
stood out like islands in a yellow sea
of light, and the creek shimmered
and quivered like a living thing as
it wound its way through the glow-
ing valley. But Neewa had learned
his lesson, and though the moon and
the stars called to him he hung close
to his mother, listening to the carniv-
al of night sound that came to him,
but never moving away from her side.

With the morning Noozak rose to
her feet, and with a grunting com—
mand for Neewa to follow she slowly
climbed the sun-capped ridge. She
was in no mood for travel, but away
back in her head was an unexpressed
fear that villainous old Makoos might
return, and she knew that another
fight would do her up entirely, in
which event Makoos would make a
breakfast of Neewa. So she urged
herself down the other side of the
ridge, across a new valley, and thru
a cut that opened like a wide door
into a rolling plain that was made up
of meadows and lakes and great
sweeps of spruce and cedar forest.
For a week Noozak had been making
for a certain creek in this plain, and
now that the presence of Makoos
threatened behind she kept at her
journeying until Neewa’s short, fat
legs could scarcely hold up his body.

It was mid—afternoon when they
reached the creek, and Neewa was
so exhausted that he had difficulty in
climbing the spruce up which his
mother sent him to take a nap. Find-
ing a comfortable crotch he quickly
fell asleep-—-while Noozak went fish-
ing.

The creek was alive with suckers,
trapped in the shallow pools after
spawning, and within an, hour she had
the shore strewn with them. When
Neewa came down out of his cradle,
just at the edge of dusk, it was to a
feast at which Noozak had already
stuffed herself until she looked like
a barrel. This was his first meal of
fish, and for a week thereafter he
lived in a ;aradise of fish. He ate
them morning, noon and night, and
when he was too full to eat be rolled
in them. And Noozak stuffed her-
self until l't seemed her hide would
burst. Wherever they moved they

 

 

 

 

   

 

Corn Huskin’

An' cultivatin‘ aint no job for me.
The mjlkjn's kinder putterin’ an' I can’t see no fun
In squirtin’ stuff upon an apple tree.

But ’long in late October, when the yellow pumkins gleam

Then huskin’ corn by daylight er a lantern's smokey beam

'8 the kind 0’ heavy labor I like best.

It’s then the breeze of autumn an’ the frost at night and mom'
Just sort 0’ fit in right with huskin’ pegs, '
And the rustlings of the rusty husks yer ripping from the corn
Makes you forget the crikles in yer legs.

There's rows 0’ shocks before you there. like Indian’s tepees,
An’ sun a glinting’ warm upon yer back.

As huntin‘ fer the nubblns in the bundle on yer knees
Ypu’re throwing lumps 0' gold upon the stack.

With barkin‘s, yips and Id-yi-yis, a sprintin’ off goes Bide,

A chasin' of a rabbit down the lot,

carried with them a fishy smell that
grew older day by day, and the older
it became the more delicious it was
to Neewa and his mother. And Nee-
wa grew like. a swelling pod. In that
week he gained three pounds. He had
given up nursing entirely now, for
Noozak—being an old bear—had
dried up to a point where she was
hopelessly disappointing.

It was early in the evening of the
eighth day that Neewa and his moth-
er lay down in the edge of a grassy
knoll to sleep after their day's feast-
ing. Noozak was by all odds the
happiest old bear in all that part of
the uorthland. Food was no longer
a problem for her. In the creek,
penned up in the pool, were unlimit-
ed quantities of it, and she had en-
countered no other bear to challenge
her possession of it. She looked
ahead to uninterrupted bliss in their
happy hunting grounds until mid-
summer storms emptied the pools, or
the berries ripened. And Neewa, a
happy little gourmand, dreamed with
her.

It was this day, just as the sun
was setting, that a man on his hands
and knees was examining a damp
patch of sand five or six miles down
the creek. His sleeves were rolled
up, baring his brown arms halfway
to the shoulders and he were no hat,
so that the evening breeze ruffled a
ragged head of blond hair that for a
matter of eight or nine months had
been cut with a hunting knife.

Close on one side of this individ-
ual was a tin pail, and on the other,
eyeing him with the keenest interest,
one of the nomeliest and yet one of
the most companionable—looking dog-
pups ever born of a Mackenzie hound
father and a mother half Airedale
and half Spitz.

With this tragedy of blood in his
veins nothing in the world could
have made the pup anything more
than “just dog.” His tail, stretched
out straight on the sand, was long
and lean, with a knot at every joint:
his paws. like an overgrown boy’s
feet, looked like small boxing-gloves:
his head was three sizes too big for
his body. and accident has assisted
Nature in the perfection of her mas-
terpiece by robbing him of a half of
one of his ears. As he watched his
master this half of an ear stood up
like a galvanized stub, while the
other—twice as long—was perked
forward in the deepest and most in-
terested enquiry. Head, feet, and tail
were Mackenzie bound, but the ears
and his lank, skinny body was a
battle royal between Spitz and Aire-
dale. At bis present inharmonious
'stage of development he was the dog-
giest dog-pup outside the alleys of
a big city

For the first time in several min-
utes his master spoke, and Miki wig-
gled from stem to stem in apprecia-
tion of the fact that it was directly
to him the words were uttered.

“It’s a mother and a cub, as sure
as you’re a week old, Mikl," he said.
‘fAnd if I know anything about bears
they were here some time to—day!"

He rose to his feet. made note of
the deepening shadows in the edge
of the timber. and filled his pail with
water. For a few moments the last
rays of the sun lit up his face. It was
a strong. hopeful face. In it was the
10y of life. And now it was lighted
up with a sudden inspiration, and a
glow that was not of the forest alone
came into his eyes, as he added:

"Miki, I'm lugging your homely
carcass down to the Girl because
you’re an unpolished gem of good

nature and beauty—and for these
two things I know she’ll love you. She
is my sister, you know. Now, if I
could only take that cub along with
 II

He began to whistle as he turned
with his pail of water in the direction
of a thin fringe of balsams a bum
dred yards away-

Close at his heels followed Miki.

A DEADLY PARALLEL

AVING dropped an imaginary

tear for the imaginary woes of

the imaginary farmer so pa-
thetically pictured by the railroad
managers, let me another tale un-
fold which may present a closer par-
allel.

Mr. Penn Rhoades inherited a
good farm which he worked for
profit only- His hired man worked
sixteen hours a day.,._and on Sunday
did chores and tinkered tools while
the boss exercised his. Buick Six.
For some reason he was generally
short of help and weeds flourished.
He didn’t believe in commercial fen-
tilizer and his land needed phos-
phate badly, but he always banked
6 per cent on capital invested even
if he had to borrow money to pay
taxes. 80 when the government
took over his farm it was in much
worse shape than his bank account.

The government tiled a big open
ditch for him and put up a lot of
new fence, but did not repaint the
buildings or replace all his wornout
tools. By paying better wages and
cutting out unnecessary Sunday
work it was able to keep help enough
to control the weeds. but did not
exterminate thistles and quack from
the fence rows. It also used acid
phosphate and raised good wheat.

On returning the farm to its own-
er the government presented its
bill of $1,144 for cash cost of ditch-
ing and fencing, and ofl'ered to guar-
antee profits another year if he
would continue its policy towards
hired help, but long before the year
was up Mr. Rhoades declared he
must cut wages at once or go bank-
rupt. His bill for damages includ-
ed $1,000 for permanent injury to
the soil by over-stimulation with
commercial fertilizer, and investi-
gation showed he had paid exhorbi-
taut prices for repair work that
could have been done quicker as well
as cheaper at home, in order to
show a big deficit in profits for the
government to make up under its
guarantee And he insisted that the
government pay his entire bill in cash
and take his note for ten years for
what he owed the government’—
Stacy Brown, Ionia County, Mich.

Ifyeurfactsarecorrectthisisesr—
tainly a “deadly parallel." None of us
know as much about the railway situa—
tion as we ought to know. We have to
take the railway's word that they have
been imposed upon. The government
makes no effort to defend its control of
the roads during the war. Whether be—
cause it is indefensible or because the
government considers it should not en-
gage in propaganda is not known. We
are, however, trying to get some of the
real facts on the situation from the
Interstate Commerce Commission. If
we succeed they will be laid before our
realism—«Editor.

 

THE LIFE or FARM TOOLS
HE LIFE of farm tools should

which they have done, but in too
many cases where they are left out
of doors in all kinds of weather. it
depends upon the ability of steel and
wood and iron to resist the elements.
It may be interesting to know what
the average life of farm tools is.

A manure spreader is useful on
an average of eight years. The
sulky plow is good for twelve, as is
also the mowing machine, side de—
livery rakes, gas engines and hay
tedders.

If a person will take the first cost
and then add to it the interest on
the investment and annual depre-
ciation, taxes, etc, then divide this
sum by the number of acres he has
used it over, in most cases he will
find that he has a pretty high acre
charge on most of the tools he
keeps. Grain and corn binders will
show an acreage charge of about 60
cents, grain drills 26 cents, corn
planters 22 cents, hay loaders 75
cents and disk barrows. 45 cents-
Thls may seem quite a high estimate,
but at the present prices of farm
machinery it is not much out of
line.

If some farmers were told to hang
a hundred dollar bill out on a fence
post and leave it there all winter

 

 

 

depend upon the amount of work-

But what difference is there between
doing that and leaving highvpriced
tools out exposed to the elements
year after year to rust and decay,
causing much delay in the busy
season and often many trips to the
repair shop and much needless er:-
pense?—D. H. M., Shiawassee Coun-
ty, Mich.

The argument is all on your side. It
is so much easier to leave tools out in
all sorts of weather. and say. “01:. It
won't hurt them much to leave them out
today”, than it is to provide a. place for
them and take the time to run them in-
side. It never pays to leave tools out in
the open. They wear out quickly enough
without turning them loose to the whims
of the elmnents.—Editor.

 

“STAND BY THE EDITOR.”
S A READER of the M. B. F»
I beg leave to submit the fol-

lowing. I bave read the two articles
under the headings of “England and
the United States" in paper dated
Sept. 3rd and 24th. As an unpreju-
diced person I voiced my sentiments
with the editor’s article in Sept. 3rd
paper. I am deeply in sympathy
with his spirit and position. I
heartily agree with the editor, that
there is too much of the fighting
spirit in some today, who by their
spirit, their voice, their pen or pro-
paganda seem to take great delight
in fermenting trouble between peo-
ple and even nations. Too bad that
such a country as we have, is infested
with so many trouble breeders to-
day. England and America can't
afford to fall out. It won't help any
one to be better or feel better. Things
are hard enough now, God knows.
Let us seek peace and good will with
all men. Let us stand for the great
principles of truth and right that
must underlie all true. and good
government. And anything of a
sour, selfish nature, we find within
us that would stir up strife and di-
vision let us destroy it root and
branch. Personally, I am of the
opinion that if Ireland will behave
herself as the other colonies do, she
won’t have any trouble with the
British Government. Suppose she
tries this plan for the future, to see
the truth of my statement, and of
the editor's position also—A Week-
ly Reader, Boyne City, Mich.

Thank you, good friend. When the
editor displeases he hears about it from
all sides. When he leaSes he hears
about itf—eometimes. e like to have
the opinions of our readers whether they
are favorable or not. An unfavorable
criticism isn’t always pleasant. but it‘s
usually of value. But, oh boy, what an
appetite for supper a friendly slap on the
back does give nit—Editor.

PINK TEA POLICIES
AY I congratulate and thank
you for giving Michigan read-
ers an independent, outspoken,
progressive paper which serves the
farmers, rather than mislead them,
which so many farm papers (so—call—
ed) are doing. If we, as farmers,
could learn to discriminate between
the truly progressive paper that
serves the farmers' interests rather
than corporations or profiteers, then
weed them out as we would quack
grass or Canada thistles, better con-
ditions for the farmer would not
be so far 01!. Since January last we
have heard and read much of the
slump in prices of farm products,
since August. 1920, ranging in a
year to approximately ten billions
of dollars, not including real estate.
I have listened to the highest ofllcers
in our state of two largest farm
organizations, and the master of the
National Change, and none of them
except one pretended to give the
cause of the slump in prices, nor
a remedy, except to say, “the farm-
er must organize and save." The
exception mentioned was C. H-
Bramble, overseer of Michigan State
Grange, ‘ who gave a splendid ' ad-
dress at a picnic of the Grangers and
farmers in general at Hillsdale in
August. If the farmers could hear
Mr. Bramble on the cause of changed
economic conditions which have tak-

  

 

1 co the past 14 months, before

would be doing in our state and na-
tional membership. and at the polls.
Listening to state stories of wba' the
Grange or other organizations have
done, advise economy, etc, does not
create enthusiasm and never will.
People want to know what new
things we have to offer for new con-
ditions, new abuses of economic jus-
tice, which saps the many for the
few, which compels the farmer and
the wage—earner to skimp and save
while the few can flaunt their un-
Just accumulations in the face of
toilers and poverty.

The opportunity of our state and
national Grange is being fritted
away in rehearsing past records,
while stemming the tide of prog-
ress. Both are largely reactionary.
The national has been for more than
twenty years, and our state is fol-
lowing in its footsteps-

I commend the giving of base balls
to granges for organizing bail] teams,
but why not the Grange executive
committee ofler prizes, lst, 2nd. 3rd
and 4th, for the best papers on the
cause of the depression of agricul-
ture and the cure. The cause of the
depression following the war of the
Rebellion was the same as the cause
of our late depression, also of the
short, spasmodic panic in 1907, while
Roosevelt was president.

It is possible that a very few men
will always be given power by legis-
lation to deprive wealth producers of
billIOns u-pon billions of-hard—earn-
ed wealth and transfer it to the DOCK!»
ets of the few who toil not, neither
do they spin, but are the lords of
wealth and legislation Yours for
better co-operation at the ballot box.
——H. E. K., Hillsdale County, Mich.

(especially
about the Business Farmer). but can’t
'zactly follow you on the Michigan State
Grange. To my mind this Grange is the
most progressive east of the M

Mebbe that isn’t saying much, but con-
sider the reactionary influences of its
namby-pamby neighbors to the eastward.
Yes, we ought to know more about the
economic forces which control price;
etc. But we are making progress in that
direction. We have named an economist
for M. A. C. president. and our farm or-u
ganizations are doing something is a
gagith way. So let's .be patient:—

Agree with most you say

CRIMES OF VARIOUS SORTS

HE WORLD is oil on a big crime
; jamboree, says Beck, but be

omits some offenders. In what
he described as a “discussion of the
moral psychology of the present re-
volt against the spirit of authority,”
James M. Beck, Solicitor General of
the United States, painted a gloomy
picture of the situation that exists
in this country and throughout the
world. The members of the Amer-
ican Bar Association who listened,
must have been impressed with the
thought that the world is literally
going headlong to the damnation
bow-wows. Here are some of the
high lights of the Beck speech:

Criminal cases pending in the
federal courts have increased from
9.513 in 1912 to 70.000 in 1921;
burglaries reported by casualty com-t
panics have grown in amount from
886,000 in 1914 to 10,000,000 in
1920. Murder is increasing in U.
S. In two years there were 457 with
164 convictions in Chicago. In one
year there were 336 murders and
44 convictions. The annual profits
from violation of the prohibition
law are estimated at $300,000,000.
This does not take into account the
graft paid to revenue agents.

Beck did not catalogue the crimes
of the 23,000 new millionaires, the
graftsrs among dollar-a-year men,
war contract grafters, Shipping
Board crooks, airplane construction
grafters. Evidently he considered
them too numerous to mention.—

GEESE FOB BREEDING STOCK

Are ‘ female geese that hatched. this
spring old enough to use for breeders
this coming spring? Would three be too
many to use with one male? Gray Tou-
louse is the breed if that should make
any diflerence. About what month
should I feed for eggs?—4L M., Kendall,
Michigan.

 

It would be unwise to use them
for breeders until they are two years
old. On the other hand ganders at
one year of age may be used as
breeders with good results. In rais-
ing geese for future breeding stock.
you will find it more advisable to
mate them in pairs, keeping them
confined in pairs until the breeding
season is over. For a commercial
flock three geese and one gander
maybe mated with success. I
should begin feeding for egg pro-
duction sometime after the first of
January. You will iind that the
Toulouse geese will lay from nine
to twelve eggs before wanting to
set—W. E. Newlon, Acting Head ‘of
Poultry Husbandry Dept" M. A. C.

 

MUST REMOVE TIMBER

I bought a piece of land from a com-
pany 10 years ago. They reserved the
timber. There was no time set when
they should get it off. They do not
pay any taxes on it. How long do they
have to get it off? Can i make them re-
move it?——P. H. ’T.. Vanderbilt, Mich.

 

The supreme court has held that
“where one sells land reserving the
timber thereon, the reservation is of
trees then suitable for use as tim-
ber. Where, in such case, nothing
is said as to time of removal, the
timber must be removed in a rea-
sonable time. But failure to re-
move the timber will not defeat the
reservation and give title to the
grantee unless the grantor has had
notice to remove and a reasonable
time to comply—Legal Editor.

 

CORN ALONE NOT GOOD FOR
muons

We hatched out two hundred young
mickens and many of them became sick
and died in a few hours. Some are very
near full grown. They are nice and fat.
We fed them corn all summer. Is rye
good for chickens? Some of those
chickens get some rye inthe bans—A.
W., Pinconning, Mich.

 

I am at a loss just how to answer
your inquiry. You state very few
symptoms from which to diagnose
your case It is as objectionable to
feed chicks on one grain alone as
it is with human beings. If the
chicks were fed rye alone, there
would be a reason for the death of
your chicks. First they might
starve to death if given nothing else,
because chickens must be forced to
eat rye. Second, if there were any
ergot in the rye it would be fatal to
the birds—W. E. Newlon, Acting
Head of Poultry Husbandry De-
partment, M. A. C.

 

TANNING HARNESS LEATHER

Where can I get harness leather tan-
ned and what will be the cost?——Reader.

The Reading Robe and Tanning
00., of Reading, Michigan, are gen-
eral tanners. Their price for tan-
ning harness leather is 40 cents per
pound, leather weight. For this
grade of leather they advise, hides
weighing from 40 pounds and up
should be needs—Editor.

 

 

NEED NOT PAY ACCOUNT

If a man and Wife hold a- joint deed
on 40 acres of land and the husband
notifies a merchant not to let his wife
or children have any goods from his
store and charge to him, unless he makes
arrangements with the merchant be-
forehand for them. and the merchant dis-
regards the notice can the merchant
sue the husband for the amount and col-
lect or will the merchant have to lose the
account?—~F. L. N.. Harietta, Michigan.

The mere fact that a husband and
wife own land in their Joint names
does not aflect liability, on contracts.
If the husband provides sufficient

for his wife and family according to'
their station in life and his income
and ability, he is not liable .tcr'

and purchases. In the contrary, if
the husband does not provide suffi-
cient for his wife or family and the
wife purchases upon his credit he is
legally liable for the claim. The
mere fact that the real estate is in
the joint names means, only, that
such land can not be taken to satis-
fy a judgment against either hus-
band or wife or both unless the ob-
ligation was incurred in writing.—
Legal Editor.

LOGATES BROTHER THROUGH
SERVICE BUREAU

The service rendered by this do-
partment is almost unlimited in its
scope Thousands of questions have
been received upon as many differ
ent subjects. Not long since a
woman reader in Eaton county de-
sired to learn the address of her
brother, who had gone west some
years ago, but returned to Michigan
a couple of years back. The request
was published in these columns, and
within a week, two letters were re-
ceived. one from the brother him-
self and another from a man who
knew his whereabouts. Moral:
When in need call on the Service
Bureau.

LEGA LITY OF WILL

Will you please tell me throua‘h your
valuable paper when a person makes a
will does it have to he recorded with the
county clerk to make it legal?——~R. G..
Emmet County, Michigan

A will properly and lawfully ex—
ecuted does not need to be record-
ed anywhere to make it legal. It
may be left among one's papers, left
with a third person or left with the
judge of probate for safe keeping.—

TO STOP HUNTING ON FARMS

Most of us farmers are tired of the
city hunters swarming our farms for
game we have raised. tearing down our
fences and causing other damages. I
would like to raise a few turkeys but
feel it uselese with so many hunters
running our woods and fields. In what
way can~we stop hunting in this town-
ship?——-E 8., Vicksburg, Mich.

It is unlawful for any one to
hunt on what is commonly called
“posted” lands as provided in sec-
tion 3, on page 790 of the Public
Acts of l 9 1 7 .——Legal Editor.

TO FATTEN DUCKS.

What is the best ration to feed a
flock of ducks to fatten them for mar-
ket ?—Rea d er.

We can recommend the following
ration for feeding old ducks, that is
ducks over eight weeks of ago.
Three parts corn meal, one part low
grade flour, 3-4 part beef scrap, 1
part green feed, green feed consist-
ing of alfalfa or clover. Feed three
times daily. Mix to a doughy con-
sistency. If free range is bad, the
green feed may be cut down to
some extent. Beef scrap may be
eliminated is one desired—George
F. Davis, Assistant in Poultry Hus-
bandry, M. A. C.

to work for him. My son is 17 years
old and my consent was not given as I
was not home at the time of hiring. My

to be three years old but i discovered it
was older and would not let my son

who recently visited our oflices.

We are glad, in a way, that this remark was made. It doubtlea
reflects the objections held by many others. It opens the way for an
explanatory answer.

In the first place, we are building a great industry in Michigan,
one of the largest ever attempted. It requires much capital, much plan-
ning, much work. It is not a business that can be started in a small
building and then grow to large dimensions.

We must begin big and then grow bigger.

When everything is taken into consideration, we are making rapid

headway. The only mistake we have made was in starting to build last
fall. Before the foundations were all in, we discovered the mistake,
and quit, for the time, further building efiorts, as we found the low
mark in building costs had not been reached.

That we used Wise discretion at that time is evidenced in the fact
that we have since let contracts at a saving of more than $600,000—six
hundred thousand dollars. Say this over, for it sounds more impressive
than does a glance at the bare figures: Saved “SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS.”

This money belongs to our stockholders, and we know they will ap-
preciate our going a little slow to make such and similar savings. You
can trust this kind of management. We have been going slow, because
we have made money by so doing.

It takes time to build big things—to put great industries into action.
Ford is not complete, and he has been building eighteen years, after having
fallen down on his first two attempts.

But we are coming through successfully just as Ford did, and we be-
lieve we are going to make money for our stockholders just as Ford has
made money for his stockholders.

Get away from the pessimistic “bogy” of doubt and come in with us.
Think What it means to you to have a big group of workmen steadily em-
ployed at good wages—think What it means to merchants, to farmers, to
mechanics, to everybody.

Get the significance of what it will mean when our factory gets going
and we are doing from ten to fifteen million dollars worth of business a
year,——bringing all this money and scattering much of it in generous div-
idends to our stockholders.

No. we are not going SLOW, we are growing SURE. We can grow
more rapidly if you join in with us, become a part of us. We have no
secrets. Our cards are on the table, face up, all the time. Investigate our
plans and you will endorse them. Don’t wait for us to complete our fac-
tory and begin operations.

Don’t say it can’t be done, for it will be done. What we have done
calls for your faith of what we will do, and do it fast enough to bring
success.

Fill out the coupon. Let us help you to investigate and analyze the
soiidity of our proposition.

somewhat if not entirely upon our
character.

There is no death; the dead have
never died. Death, so-called, is
‘transition and transition does not
change character. We enter the
next life as we leave this one—the
same person and ever we must pro—
gress thru all the ages; must learn
wisdom and strive for perfection.

I have read many books upon the
subject. none in opposition to the
doctrines of Christ; the more I read
the more convinced I become of the
truth of the theory.

One person at twenty has had
some experience that goes to show
that we are possession of an ether-

eal body.
Read “The Unknown." by Fam-
ille Flamerion, or “The Adventure

Beautiful," by Lillian Whiting.

There is much to be seen which
our eyes do not see, many things to
be heard, to which our ears are
deaf. None the less they are very
real, very true and very enduring.
Our ears can hear only a certain
gamut of vibrations or octaves. but
there are vibrations of both light
and sound to which we are not
sensible. Instruments record them,
our senses do not. Ask your physi—
cian friend if at some death—beds he
has not seen the ethereal body leave
the material one. I believe he will
say as others have that he has.

rl‘he other world is here. I know
not how far or near. It is peopled
with those who have gone on. who
no doubt may watch us, love us
and perhaps long to tell us of their
very real existence.

I am asking no one to believe as
I do, but will say to those who are
horrified at new facts or ideas that
there is no new truth or fact—all
truth has always existed. We are
sometimes slow in discovering it.

WATCH OUT

0U ALL know that the wet forc-

es are trying to have made

legal the manufacture and sale
of beers and light wines. They are
going to work hard to upset the Vol-
sted act which themajority of the
people approved of.

It means money in their pockets,
and out of the pockets of the people.
It means wine on the tables of the
rich and poverty in the homes of the
many who are now..comfortable.

A beer drunk is more besotted
than a whiskey drunk.

We can get along without either.
Let Fatty Arbuckle and his kind
procure their liquor at an enormous
price—they pay the price in two
ways and the lesson is one a whole
world can learn. Let us protect
our boys and girls and stand pat as
the majority of us voted. We stand
by the majority in this country.
What a blessing it is we women can
vote.

for the enactment of the state con-
stitutional amendment enabling wo—
men to hold any state oifice and per-
mitting women to serve as delegates
to the convention to revise and to
amend the state constitution. A
special election was held Aug. 2nd.

At the election held in Texas on
July 23 it was admittedly the wo-
men's vote which carried the two
most important amendment—and
the only ones which were not de-
feated. The first abolishes the right
of aliens to vote and amends the
constitution to conform to the 19th
amendment; the second provides a
soldier bonus.

Thirteen amendments to the state
constitution of Indiana were voted
upon at a special election on Septem-
ber 6th. Twelve of these were de-
feated——the one for which the
League of Women Voters made an
active state-Wide campaign carried
almost five to one. This amendment
provides that all foreign born resi-
dents of the state shall be fully nat-
uralized before they vote. Women's
votes outnumbered the men’s three
to one.

The nation is learning What the
few early suffrage states found out
long ago. Senator Carey of Wyom-
lng, summed it up twenty-seven
years ago when he told Dr. Anna

Howard Shaw, “I attribute the bet.-
ter character of our public officials
almost entirely to the votes of the
women."

$450.00 Reported Cost of
I Coverage For Sedan in
f , w New York

Of all problems confronting
the automobile industry, partica
nlxarly those engaged in the sell-
ing end of the business, none
is of greater importance and
none presents a more difficult
proposition than the stolen car
in the matter of automobile in-
surance. The old line rates
have become prohibitive. The
cost of insuring the average
sedan in the old line company
in the East is $450.

The congestion of traffic,
leading to frequent accidents.
careless driving and the auto
thief increases the cost of in-
surance. The careful automo-
bile owner by careful driving,
putting a proper lock on his
car and placing same in a gar-
age when visiting the large
cities, helps to keep down the
cost.

The Citizens’ Mutual Auto-
mobile Insurance Company of
Howell, has saved its members
many million dollars since or-
ganization. It insures in the
smaller cities and country
districts of the state. The rates
are very reasonable. It has paid
out in claims over $850,000.-
00, carrying a surplus of

$125,000.00 in addition to the
office building and equipment.
If your car is not insurml see
the lodai agent or write the Citi~
zens' Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company. Howell, Michigan.

EAR CHILDRENz—I suppose
that you have all noticed that
in the front part of last week’s
M. B. F. we began publishing a story
entitled “Nomads of the North," by
a famous author who was born and
raised in Michigan and lives here at
the present time. How many of
you have begun reading this story
some of which will be published each
week until it is completed? Not
very many. I’ll bet. I can hear some
of you saying when you noticed
it. "Oh dear, M. B. F. publishes a
story for grown-ups but none for
us!” You are mistaken. boys and
girls, because you will find this lust
as interesting as your papa and
mamma will and you should look up
last week's issue and read the be-
ginning. !I‘he more you read of it
the more interesting it gets. The
entire family will want to read it at
the same time and the only way all
can be satisfied will be for the fam-
ily to all get together and let mam-
ma or papa read it out loud to the
others- Of course. many of you are
too small to pronounce all of the
words or understand their meaning.
so you coax mamma. papa, big sis-
ter or brother to read it to you.
The happiest moments of my child-
hood were the evenings that after
the supper dishes were washed.
mother would sit down and read
out loud from a book for an hour
or so I can remember how I was
anxious to have supper early and
get my lessons for school so that she
might read an extra chapter or two.
Just received a letter from Doc.
Sawbones and he writes that all the
D00 Dads are as busy as bees.
Eve-n Old Man Grouch forgets to be
crabby at times he is so interested
in Doc’s plans. However. Sleepy

 

Sam is unable to keep his eyes open
for very long and he is missing all
the fun. Doc says "We sure will
surprise the girls and boys when
we get back.” He will too.—

' Instead of sunflower silage.‘ For
feeding dairy cows. several ex-

periment- stations have tested sun'-
flcwer silage and found it good. A
year ago the West Virginia Experi-
ment Station gave out results on a
feeding test that was conducted in
a way that satisfied the most exact-
hg feeding experts. Two groups
of five cows each were balanced
against each other. One group was
given corn silage in its ration. and
the other sun-flower silage. There
was a preliminary feeding period of
seven days. to get the cows used to
feed. then the test extended twenty-
one days; At the end of that time
the silage rations were reversed:
the cows receiving corn silage were
given sunflower silage, and the cows
1 getting sunflower silage were chang-

ed to corn silage. After another
I seven days to get the cows used to
feed. the test was carried on for
twenty-one days more.

When the first group of cows was
changed from sunflower silage to
corn silage, a decrease of 6.9 per
cent in milk and of 7.4 per cent in
fat was noted. When the second
group of cows was changed from corn
silage to sunflower silage a sharper
decrease of 13.5 per cent in milk
and 8.2 per cent in fat was noted.

No difference in weight was shown
by the cows during the feeding per-
lode Cowsate the sunflower sil-
age practically as well as the corn
', silage. after the preliminary week
' of feeding. In no way was the sun-

flower milk objected to as objection-
‘ able.

At the time of the test. corn silage
averaged 38 a ton, and the acre

old of 8.5 tons of corn was worth

68. Sunflower silage produced 77
per cent less milk, so it should be
'worth $7.38 a ton. On an acre
gold of 18 tons of sunflowers the

me per acre. compared with the
corn, would be $132.84. The dif-
ference of $64.84 would be the ad-
vantage for sunflowers per acre. If
the fat producing value of sunflower
silage is considered. this advantage
would make the difference in favor
of sunflower silage still greater.

WORLD’S RECORD
MADE BY JERSEY

A new world’s record for all
breeds for cows under two years of
age has just been made by the Jer-
sey heifer St. Mawes Lad’s Lady No.
451568, owned in Oregon. She be
gan her test 1 year, 11 mos, 28 days
of age and produced in one year
11,756 lbs. of milk, 829.09 lbs. of
butterfat, 975.29 lbs. of 85 per cent
butter. This is the second time the
world's record for all breeds for a
heifer under two years of age has
been made by a Jersey in Oregon.

Jerseys are winners. Jerseys are
ideal dairy cows. A pure bred
Jersey bull is a money making in-

vestment. Think! Act!

Breeders' Ass'n to herdsmen in charge

made on records made during the entire
period of the fair. taking into considera-
tion the following points: Personal ap-

third. The prize were to be aWarded by
the superintendent of the cattle depart-

and it was a. significant fact that his son
only drew third prize in the contest. In
the opinion of the writer each of the
competitors, named above; was entitled
to first money. The competition in this
as well as all other departments of the"
cattle show was alto ether too hot for
the comfort of the udge making the
awards. The regular herdsmen's special,
applying to the entire cattle division Was
awarded as follows: First to Lenawee

NATIONAL BVVINE SHOW HUGH

SUCCESS

In point of exhibits and interest the
National Swine Show. held at Peoria
last Week. was a great success. There
probably'never has been a better display
of purebred swine. the outstanding fea-
ture of which was the showing of Tam-
worths.

Breeders are now headed for the next
big show. the International. where they
will undoubtedly once more impress the
country with the fact that they are In
the business to stay. Such large and high
quality exhibits are sure to be a splen-
did thing for the industry, and hem
are to be commended for making them.

by reason of being older than he
would have been if only three years

If he was worth just as much being

FIRM DOES NOT ANSWER

Please let me know if the United
Leasing Trust is a good company to in—
vest In. They have been selling leases
on Texas and Kentucky oil lands at $90
per acre and now the price. has raised to
$30 per acre. They agreed to my 20
per cent the first of July, but paid only
7 1-2 per cent—L. S., Osceola County.

Letters addressed to this firm
have remained unanswered. When
this happens we usually put the firm
down in the N. G. class. Unless
you have already done so, we advise
you to have nothing to do with this
concern. If you have invested
in their oil leases, my advice would
be to visit their headouarters and
find out for yourself whether they
have a legitimate proposition-Ed—
itor.

BUILDING

 

LINE FENCE

Is thorc any way in which I can force
my neighbor to put up half of the line
fence? If so. what proceedings are
necessary? We refuses to come to any
agreement whatsoever in holoing to put
11p a fence. Part of the land is cleared
and port of it is not—H. W. R.. Prove-
mont, Mich.

 

If both parties improve their land
and your neighbor refuses to divide
the fence then apply to the fence
viewers for assistance; but, as the
steps to compel one to build the
fence is somewhat complicated, it is
advisable to have the assistance of
local.counsel before starting any-
thing—Editor.

I would like to get some idea of the
terms upon which I should rrnl :1 gr.

cows. fresh in thp spring. There will bc
around thirty tons of hay to cut. The
owner wants to take, possession in tho

ter the cows. He will furnish one—half
of all feed and seed net-“rd Should ‘-

FEDERAL FARM LOANS
Will you kindly advise me where and
how I may secure a federal loan?——G.
S., Kalamazoo County, Michigan.

Write the Federal Land Bank at
St. Paul, Minn., which can advise
you of the location of the nearest
farm loan association with which
you may affiliate, and send you
complete information about securing
a loan. Because of the long time
the law was tied up in the courts, a
large number of applications accum-
ulated, and we understand that
farmers are obliged to wait some
little period of time before the bank
can pass upon their applications.—

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
LEB weather is bringing bet-

ter business conditions the coun-

try over, and dealers are begin-
ning to take an optimistic view of
the immediate future in spite of the
fact that the future will be set in
the dull days of early winter. Re-
tail trade in general is much more
active than on this date last month,
and there are abundant evidences
that the “buyers’ striike," which has
been so long in evidence, is about
over. Conditions which prevail in
connection with the great foundation
industries of the country seem to be
especially important at this time: the
recovery of iron. steel and lumber,
at this season of the year is signifi-
cant, showing as it does abundant
confidence in the future of this coun-
try and a disposiiton to take advan-
e of current low price levels in
the belief that future revisions will
be toward higher rather than lower
price levels. The Pacific northwest
reports a rapidly increasing demand
for lumber from eastern interests,
and the production of iron, steel
and coke is gaining in volume exceed-
ed each week as the Season advances.
The railroad executives have rec-
ommended a cut in freight rates on
iron ore, which amounts to about 28
per cent; the effect of this develop-
ment upon the steel industry of the
country is hard to foreshmlow .at
this time, but it is generally believed
that it is the first gun to be fired in
a wholesale freight slashino; cam-
paign which will eventually include
all kinds of dead freight. More than
1,000 Connclsville coke ovens were
lighted last week; activity in con-
nection with the demand for coke has
always, in the past, been a forerun-
ner of a general industrial revival.
All of the better grades of lumber
are being marked up rapidly. in anti-
cipation of a greatly improved de-
mand which is timed to reach this
country when the frost is out of the

ground next spring.

The wheat market has recovered
Ifrom its slump of last week. and as
we go to press the tone is strong
with an indication of higher prices.
The speculators made good use of
the large visible supply last week to
bear down prices and were success-
ful in putting them down to the. low-
est levelof the season. Visible sup-
ply and the farmers’ tendency to
sell are the only hearish’factors in
the situation, however. All others
are of a distinctly bull nature. Ev-
ery week since the middle of August
total world supplies have been
shrinking, although some of the
countrie which are finding it nec-
essary to buy American wheat have
made desperate efforts to make us
believe their wants are less than
supposed. We have no faith what-
ever in the French government’s es-
timate of a wheat crop of 10 million
bushels above 1920- No wheat crop
could go through such a drought as
France experienced without suffer-
ing to a far greater extent than re-
ported by the French government.
France may be able to supply her
temporary wants from her own crop.
but we expect that this country will
be begging for American wheat be-
fore another harvest. The crops of
the southern hemisphere are still in
the making, but unfavorable weath-
or has greatly damaged the pros-
pect for on name yield. Reports
are still conflicting with respect to
the Canadian crop, which in now
placed at 287 million bushels. We
would not. be the least confined to

corned, the government’s report for
October lst showed a further loss of
13 million bushels or a grand total
of 740 milion bushels which is 47
million bushels less than the 1919
crop and 90 million less than the
1915-19 average.

The immediate future of wheat
depends in a word. we believe, upon
the quantity which will be marketed
the next few weeks. A continuation
of the heavy movement can only
mean sustained low values, while a.
cessation of marketing would mean
instantly higher prices. The finan-
cial situation is still discouraging
enough although British exchange
has recently shown a surprising re—
covery. but we doubt if the financial
situation can reach a point where it
will exert any greater bearish in-
fluence than at present. We look
for considerable recovery from the
low values reached last week. The
up and dowu moVemenls of this mar—
ket this year has fully vindicated
our savior predictions We eypect
these wide fluctu'ltions to continue
until most of the grain is out of the
farmers’ hands. when the speculat-
ors having options in the grain will
be in full control of the situation
and ready for a substantial bull
movement. This movoment will come
sooner or later. Some authorities
differ as to the exact date. The gen-
eral consensus is that it will not
come before the first of the year,
although somewhat higher levels
are expected to prevail by that time.
The big bull movement may be de-
ferred until next spring. all depend-
ing upon the whims of the specu-
lators, but come it will, and he
will be a wise farmer who lays his
plans to profit by this advance-

The big slump in the wheat mar-
ket last week did not affect corn as
much as expected by many. the mar-
ket developing independent strength
several days during that period.
Several large traders are quoted as

saying that they believed the bear-
ish conditions-have been discount-
ed and that the market will later-
go higher due to crop complaints.
Reports come from many sections
where husking has began showing
that the ear worm, rain and mold
have caused considerable damage
and producers believe final returns
will not substntiate the government
estimate of October lst of 3,163,-‘
063.000 bushels. which is nearly
231,000,000 bushels under the Sept.
lst estimate. While the corn mar-
ket was not very active last we‘k
there were indications that demand
was increasing. At the same time
supplies decreased. farmers appear-
ing to feel that prices were too low
and they did not care to market
their crop with them at present lev-

/ e‘s. There have been several bull-

ish factors at work in the’ market
for many weeks but heavy receipts
helped the bears force. prices down.
Now that farmers are holding their
crop these factors of a bullish na-
ture, which have been discussed in
the columns of M. B. F. the past few
weeks may have a chance to put the
prices up where they belong. They
are bound min the long run. _On
the opening day of the current week
the market at Detroit was inactive
and no change in price noted, but
at Chicago corb advanced.

shows some further loss in cats as
we expected, the total crop now be—
ing placed at 1.078.619.000 bush-
els which is 12 millions less than the
Sept. estimate. There is very little
doing in cats. and not likely to be
much life until some of the enor-
mous holdover is gotten out of the

be the largest on record. Oats ap-
pear to be a poor crop the world

declining to 90c and at Chicago to

There are no bears in the bean
market. The feeling with regards
to the future of_this market is the
most optimistic it has been in years.
Following a perfectly natural decline
last week beans have again recovered
and advanced quite contrary to ex-
pectations. Frankly, we have not
expected to see much doing in this
market for some weeks following the
opening of the season. but the fact
that the market has held up and ad-
vanced in the face of normally heavy
receipts shows that the market has
inherent strength and good posibil—
ities. There are two \very bullish
factors in the bean deal this year.
One of them is the size of the crop
which is the smallest in over ten
years. Another is the unuuestion-
ably improved demand. There is
no theory about the better demand.
Grocers and restaurants in all 'sec-
tions report that people are eating
more beans now than they have in
years. The big canning companies
are again advertising the old-fash-
ioned “pork and beans” With a
certainty that more and more people
will take to beans as they are still
the cheapest and most nutritiOus
food that can be obtained. So we
are justified in believing that prices
will take the upward trend. Thirty
days ago we saw $5 beans in sight.
Now we think we can see still higher
prices, but we prefer to await the
developments of the next sixty days
before making a more definite state-
ment. Next week we will publish
a review of the bean situation :8
promised a couple of weeks ago.
Watch for it. You will find it of
value to you in selling your crop.

We are going to have more pota-
toes than we supposed. thirty days
ago, according to the Oct. lst esti-
mate. Last week we stated. as a 19-
sult of reports received from farm-
ers, our revised belief that the Oct.
1st estimate would show a. gain over
the Sept. lst. It did. The gain was
22.600.00 bushels, or a total of 345
million. This is ten million less than
produced in 1919 and the smallest
crop wiith one exception since 1913.
However, it is still large enough to
preclude the probability of fancy
prices- The market has held up roll
in the face of the heaVy receipts and
even advanced last week on the Chi-
cago market, much to the surprise
of the trade. The current week opens
with prices somewhat high ~r in Don
troit. We expect a temporary re-
action to lower levels. The govern-
ment's report is very bearish and
receipts at primary markets are very
large. Week before last, the De-
partment of Agriculture reports,
shipments were close to ten thousand
cars or nearly three times as many
as for the corresponding period of
last year. I Prices cannot hold up if
the movement continues st this rate.

Why haven't we seine sixth sense to
tell us What to do in periods like
this? We cannot see higher potato
prices for some weeks. We look for
lower prices. Golder weather and a
consequent let-up in the movement
which we may not expect for at least
another thirty days will be the fac-
tors to stabilize the market and en-
courage higher prices.

 

HAY

Hay markets through the cast are
stronger than they have been for
some time in the past owing to the
small amount of hay of good qual-
ity being offered for sale and prices
are on the up grade. Western mar-
kets continue firm wiith receipts
about of the same volume as they
have been the past week. Dealers at
al points are having all kinds of
trouble searching the country for
No‘. 1 timothy and the greater part of
what they do find is not for sale.
Standard timothy at Detroit is
worth 519 @ $20 per ton. with
the best grade $1 higher. At De-
troit. No 1 clover is $14©815 and
clover mixed $15@$16 per ton-
New York and other outside markets
range from $4 to $10 higher than
Detroit.

 

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

The greatly improved tone to the
general live stock demand of the
country at large, which was noted in
these columns, last week, has per-
sisted until the present writing; in-
deed. the market was stronger, in all
divisions of the trade at the close
of last week, than at any preceding
date during the summer and fall
months.

Small receipts of corn-fed cattle.
during the last half of September and
the first week in October. provided
for a complete clean-up of mature
beef supplies in the coolers of the
country; the result of these influ-
ences has been to gradually harden:
the market and sharpen the demand
for good killing cattle. The demand
for prime dressed best, of light to
medium weight. is more active and
dependable, just now, than at any
preceding date this year; Yearling
steers are, of course, in the most ac-
tive demand but buyers are not
bulking at heavy cattle in such a
disagreeable way as formally. Yearl-
ings bid fair to pass the 12-dollar
mark before long and the demand
for anything young, that carries
killing quality, is sure to be active
until after the holiday season has
passed. Stockers and feeders are in
active demand in all markets at
prices from 50 to 75 cents per cwt.
higher than on this date, last month.

The sheep and lamb trade is
sharing the prosperity in evidence
in the cattle department, and has
been frequently intimated in this
column, of late, seems to be on the
road to a more dependable business
during 1922. The wool market is
firming up- in good shape as cold
weather approaches and the meat.
tram this variety of domestic ani-
mals, in sympathy with other lines,
is selling higher than formerly. The
demand for feeding lambs is gain-
ing strength and activity every day,
as the season advances, the highest

The Detroit packer, who recently
predicted 6~dollar dressed work,
seemed to be placing rather too
heavy a rate of discount on the fut-
ure of the live hog market. The
prevalence of cold weather has re-
cently lent a marked activity to the
demand for park and its products.
at retail and the moderate receipts
of live hogs that have come to hand,
have failed to replace the drain on
storage-house supplies. Packers
have been free buyers on the ad-
vancing market, competing with
shippers and helping to boost val-
ues. Shipping demand is more ac~
tive, just now, than on any preced-
ing date this year. Very few desir-
able pigs are finding their way in-
to the market, the inference being
that growers have corn enough to
feed out all of the young stock
that they have before sending it to
market.

 

FACTS ABOUT THE MICHIGAN
FLUID) MILK BUSINESS
(Continued from page 3)

eiforts to enlighten the farmers, as

shown by the following letter:

“Your publication in regard to the
relations between the milk producers and
diistrlbutors is worse than the breeding
of anarchy. If you knew the facts in
the milk business in Detroit as I do. and
know that the Detroit area is being
paid as much or more for their milk as
is paid anywhere in the United States,
and then have a so—called “farmers

friend“ publish articles as you have
caused to be printed, I want to say it is
ridiculous, I am not claiming the farm-
er is over-paid. But he is satisfied. His
milk market is the bag ready cash he
has had for two years, and what they
need is some one to tell them so. The
Milk Messenger announces that, and the
Michigan Business Farmer contradicts
and tells about the milk trust in Detroit.

“My advice to you is. get first-hand
information or facts, and stay by the
truth. and they will all be your friends."
—-John Schlafl. Fairchild Farms, Mt,
Clemens. m

The writer of the above owns a
farm in Macomb county, but his
principal occupation is being presi-
dent of the John Schlaff Creamery
Co., of Detroit. Mr. Schlaff is no
doubt a fine gentleman and we would
like in all sincerity to have him for
a friend. But if the price for that
friendship is the sacrifice of life-long
convictions we will have to struggle
along without it, for we cannot pay
the price. We do not blame Mr.
Schlafl‘ for taking this position. As
long as he does not claim the farmer
is being over-paid, we take no of-
fense at his letter. He is merely
defending his business as we or any-
one else would do. But we hold the
prosperity and the happiness of the
farmers who produce this vital food
product far above the interests of
the Schlai! Creamery Company or
any other creamery company, and so
while we appreciate the motives
which prompts Mr. Schlaff and other
creamery owners to take umbrage at
the BUSINESS FARMER we cannot
permit them to move us from our
position.

Mr. Sch-lat is no doubt sincere
and believes he is entirely correct
when he says: “The Detroit area
is being paid as much or more for
their milk as is paid anywhere in
the “United States." Mr. Schlaff
could not have made any investiiga-
tion on his own account. or he
wouldn't have accused the BUSINESS
FARMER of not telling the truth. It
appears that he gets his authority
from the Milk Messenger, so is not
entirely to blame for having erron-
eous ideas and thinking the farmer
is satisfied with the prices he has
received the last nine months. In-
cidentally, we cannot refrain from
remarking here that if the Milk Mes—
senger persists in telling the distrib-
uting companies of Detroit and the
condensaries of Michigan that the
farmer IS satisfied and that “his
milk market is the best cash market
he has had in two years", it is mor-
ally certain that the distributors
will-never do any better by the farm-
ers until they are forced to.

In order to answer the charges
that the BUSINESS FARMER has

,misrepresented, the facts about the

milk price in Detroit and other ar-

‘ . see, we have compiled a table of fig-

‘hsving  paid in Chicago recently _

 

 

 

typical dairy states. The figures
are taken from the monthly report
of the Bureau of Markets and are as
authentic as can be secured.‘ We
challenge. Mr. Reed and Mr. Schlaff
or anyone else in the producerdeai-
or group to prove that these figures
are incorrect or unfair or that areas
to which they apply are not compar-
able areas.

Special attention is called to the
prices paid in New York, Chicago.
Cleveland, Cumberland, Md., and
Los Angeles. In all cases the price in
the latter three cities has been much
higher than in Detroit. In Cum-ber-
land, the farmers own the distribut-
ing business outright and have been
successful in securing cost of produc-
tion month in and month out. The
producers of Los Angeles own a
controlling interest in the largest
distributing business in the city, and
are able to control milk prices to a
very large extent. In all but two of
the last thirteen months both New
York and Chicago paid the farmers

higher prices than did Detroit. The
New York Dairymen’s League has
embraced a pooling plan which has
stabilized prices materially land has
brought larger returns to the farm-
ers, and the Illinois dairyme'n after
a loug and successful battle for an
equitable price appear to have got-
ten it.

,There may be reasons why under
the present methods of selling milk
in the Detroit area the farmer can<
not hope to receive a higher price in
comparison with other cities. But
if so, that is all the more reason why
the system should be reformed, and
a direct—from—i‘armer-to—consumer
plan put in operation.

As previously announced the ans
nual meeting of the Milk Producers‘
Ass’n will be held at the M. A. (3-.
October 18th, and affords a fine op-
portunity for open discussion of the
marketing question. The issue can-
not be dodged much longer, and the
sooner it is met the better it will be
for all the dairy farmers of Michigan.
