OR THE first time in the history of the

Michigan Milk Producers’ Ass’n, its
annual meeting which was held last week
at the M. A. C., was characterized by an
organized oppositon to some of the policies
of the Association and an eflort to prevent
the reelection of certain officers. These
policies to which a large number of dairy-
men in the state object, is the locating of a
cheese factory ad in one corner of the area
intead of at Detroit, the center, where the
surplus accumulates; the indifferenece of
the Association heads to any plan for the
direct marketing of fluid milk; and the
failure to give adequate study to the needs
of the producer outside the Detroit area.

Although the insurgents failed to carry
out their program in. its entirety they did
succeed in electing two of their numbers to
the, Board of Directors and registering in
a decided way their disapproval of the
above namedpolicies.

At previous conventions nominations
were made by a nominating committee ap-
pointed by the chair. This year the insur-
gents put through a motion by a large ma-
jority that nominations be made in a more
democratic manner from the open floor.
They also scored another notable victory at
the forenoon session when they succeeded»
in changing the hour of electionto preceed
the speaking program instead of following
it as had been the custom at previous con—
ventions.

The slate put up by the opposition was as
follows: For president, G. T. Bryce,’ of
Romeo; vice president, T. C. Taylor, Al-
mont; for secretary, B. F. Beach of Pontiac;
for treasurer, W. O. Richards of Howell;
for members of the board, R. G. Potts of
Washington (to succeed self) ; Fred Myers
of Fair Haven, St. Clair county.

Owing to the popularity of Pres. Hull,
the opposition soon discovered that it had
made a mistake running- a candidate against
him, which .had the eifect of alienating
some of the support which might otherwise
have been received on some of the other
oflices. Considering this fact and the
further fact that Mr. Bryce was taken ill
and was unable to attend the convention in
person, it is remarkable that he polled
about twenty-five per cent of the votes cast
for the oflics of President. The desire of
Bryce ’8 friends to, run him for the office
was their belief that he is more sympatheti-
ic to the direct marketing plan and has the
ability to put his plans into execution if
given the opportunity.

For the oflice of viCe president, J. 0.
Near of Flat Rock received 221 votes and
T. C. Taylor of Almont, 92 votes; for sec-
retary, R. C. Reed received 199 votes and

,‘B. F. Beach; 120; for treasurer, H. 1W. Nor-
ton received 175;;Notes and W. O. Richards,

Milk Producers Contest at Annual” Meeting

' Administration Slate Opposed by Dairymen F avoring Direct Marketing Methods

 

 

Why This Misrepresentation?

ELEGATES to the annual meeting

of the Milk PrBducers’ Ass’n will re-
, ' call that Secretary Reed, in oflering
a comparison between prices in the De-
troit area. and the Twin cities, distinctly
stated that the administrative expense of
the Twin City Producers’ Ass’n was 35
cents per cwt. Inquiry has revealed
that this is not true. Theadminisurative
expense, we are advised by the manager
has never exceeded TEN per cent, and
the total expense of the association in
gathering milk, weighing, testing, man-
ufacturing, etc., was 22 cents per cwt.,
during August, two cents of which was
placed in the sinking fund and for ad-
vertising purposes. “We Wish to call your
attention to the fact," writes the man-
ager, “that we are really doing something
besidm having walking delegates" to
make arrangements for the sale of milk.
Every drop of milk sold by one of our
members is tested by our department,
and the~ dealers are sent a bill for the
milk on our weights and tests. Our test-
ing department alone almost pays all of
the administrative expense.” The plan
of the Twin City Milk Producers’ Ass’n
is worthy of study and will be thoroughly
discussed in later issues of the Business
Farmers—Editor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Secretary’s report given immediate-
ly before the election had an undoubted ef-
febt upon the result. Instead of confining
himself to a strict account of his steward-
ship the past year, the secretary devoted
two-thirds of his report to a eulogy of the
existing ofiicers and plead eloquently with

The Price of Milk

Milwaukee people are paying only nine cents
per quart for milk delivered at their door. 01!
this amount the producers are netting about
3.8 cents on the farm and distributors are get-
ting 4.6 cents. The rest (.8 cent) goes for
transportation from farm to city.

The Milwaukee distributors are doing well
on a 4.6-cent margin, we are informed, while
the Chicago distributors are getting eight cents.

We wonder why it costs nearly twice as
much to distribute milk in Chicago as in Mil-
waukee.—-——-Prairie Farmer.

N DETROIT it also “costs” somewhere

between 7 and 9 cents a quart to dis-
tribute milk. Just now the consumer is
paying 13 cents a quart fOr the same milk
which the farm-er sells for less than 6
cents. Virtually the same condition is
found in many of the other cities of the
state. The condition exists because in most
of these cities there is a virtual monoply
of the distributing business. Producers,

 

 

poorly organized and with no other outlet

for their milk are forced to take the prices
oifered and haVe nothing to say about what
the distributors charge the consumer. IL
is to rectify this ‘ unjust condition that
farmers are being urged to market their
own products and put the ‘profiteering
middleman out of business.”

the delegates to “trust” these ofliccrs and
continue them at the \helm of the Associw
tion. Repeated challenges were also thrown
out during both the President’s and Secre-
tary’s addresses for the producing of any
evidence that any of the officers or the em-
ployes of the Association were not loyal to
their rtust. It should be stated that infor-
mation had come into the possession of some
of the delegates alleging that a certain em-
ployee of the Association was working in
collusion with a. distributing company in
Detroit to the detriment of the Association,
and that this company wielded a tremen-
dous influence over the entire milk situation
of the state. It would be unjust to the
oificers of the Association to permit any in-
sinuation to get abroad that this informa-
tion questioned in any respect the integ~
rity of the officers. For it did not. It
did, however, bring into question the wis-
dom of some of the methods that had been
pursued in dealing with the Detroit area
situation. Despite the challenge, the op-
position maintained a discreet silence and
refused to disturb the equanimity of the
convention by the introduction of any dis—

 cordant notes.

Aside from the friendly contests over
the election, the convention was harmonious
from start to finish and everyone showed a

fine spirit of abiding by the results without '

complaint. Nothing transpired during the
entire meeting to justify the fear that is
sometimes expressed when a change is sug-
gested, of a “split in the ranks”. The pro.
ducers will hang by their association re-
gardless of Whether everything their ofiicers
do or fail to do meets with their approval,
and whenever they are convinced in large
enough numbers that the Association will
stand a housecleaning by a change in offic-
ers they will make that change without mis-
hap to their organization. 

In many respects the contest will prove a
good thing for the Association. It has giv-

' en the officers a pointed reminder that not

all members of the Association are satisfied
with their conduct of affairs. This should
have the effect of making the officers more
particular and more responsive to the mem-
bership. If there is disaffection in the
ranks of any organization it is well for it to
become known during its early stages before
it has reached a point where it might con-
ceivably disrupt the association. It is
well for the ofl‘icers of the Michigan Milk
Producers’ Ass’n’ to know that a consid-
erable number of the members believe in

   

 

 

.the theory of direct marketing of milk and _ a 

other products. Being thus warned they

may be expected to proceed at once to a  Z
more earnest and careful investigation of" . »' "

the possibilities'along that line. ‘ ,

'is no speculation with the farmers‘
product. A close watch is kept on
wool market conditions and the pool
is guided in its sales by the law of
supply and demand. In that way the
pool is saving the farmer the spring
dumping of wool on a glntted mar
ket and the temporary depression in
price which is always associated with
such a glut.

Today the farmers of Michigan
have their wool pool operating along
the same line that characterize the
great wool concerns. A salaried
wool pool salesman with a lifetime
of experience in handling and mar-

' keting wool is representing the Mich-

igan pool to eastern mills, report-
ing conditions there and arranging
for sale of Michigan wool. He is
not only building up the farmer's
wool business for today but for the
pools of future years.

, At the central grading warehouse
in Lansing and during the summer
grading campaign at local grading
stations competent wool handlers
with years of experience graded and
weighed the farmer’s wool and made
every effort to give the farmer pool-
er—their employer——a fair deal.
Where the practice had always bpen
to grade clothing wools as rejects or
discounts and discount them heavily,
these men graded those wools prop-
erly. Today the farmer is cashing in
on that grading as the mills call for
half-blood, three-eighths and quart-
er-blood clothing wools. Michigan
wools are handled here as they would
be in Boston and they pass the Bos-
ton grade.

The wool pool has soldas much
as 200,000 pounds of wool at a time
this fall and has filled a number of
orders ranging around 100,000
pounds. Educational features of the
first wool pool which resulted in
cleaner wool coming into the 1921
pool are paying out. The mills like
clean wool and Michigan k pooled
wool is gaining in prestige.

The State Farm Bureau wool pool
is continuing to experience remark-
able success in disposing of wool
from the Michigan pool through the
medium of virgin wool blankets.

l suitings, overcoats, yarns and other

products. Volume of business has
reached such a figure that an addi—
tion has been built to the State Farm
Bureau buildings to house the over-
flow business of the suitings depart-
ment and today a corps of salesmen
and clerks handle this end of this
business.

To the farmer his fabrics manu-
facturing division means two things:
more rapid disposal of his wool and
his own woolen goods at what it
costs him to make them. The public
in sharing with. the farmer the priv-
ilege of buying virgin wool products
at the same price the farmer pays,
views with approval what can be
done in the co—operative marketing
of such a commodity as wool in the
form of blankets, suitings and oven-
coats.

Farmers in some 18 wool pooling
states are doing the same thing that
Michigan is doing in pooling and dis—-
posing of wool—direct to mills and

as a manufactured virgin wool pro- ,

duct. In those states wool specu-
lators do not have the easy time that
they did and it‘looks as though
speculative pastures were getting
rather barren. Farmers in the same
18 wool growing "states are behind
the . Truman-Fabrics legislation and

' are interested in giving the consum-
ing public woolen products that are -

shoddy-free and which will give the

Western Roads Ordered to Reduce Freight Rates

Interstate Commerce Commission Follows Demand of arm Bureau that Rates Must Come Down

HE AMERICAN Farm Bureau Federa-

tion took the center of the railroad strike
stage Tuesday, October 18, when it filed a
petition before the Interstate Cmeerom-
mission asking for an immediate reduction of
from 10 to 20 per cent in freight rates on bas-
ic necessities of life. This petition marks the
opening gun in the Farm Bureau transpor-
tation policy. Coming at the psychological
moment—when the issues are so sharply drwan
as between the railroad executives and railway
labor—this action places the American Farm
Bureau Federation in the center of the stage
and turns the American public hepefully to.
ward the organized farmer as preferring a so-

? lotion to the tense railroad problem.

. The Farm Bureau ’s petition crystallizes in-
to concrete action the policy outlined by Pres-
ident J. R; Howard and consistently advocat-
ed by him in conferences with both sides. It
now develops that the conferences of the rail-
way executives in Chicago beginning on Octo-
ber 14 were called as the direct result of Pres-
ident Howard’s insistence before various ex-

r ecutives of the carriers that railroad rates
. , must be reduced at once, and that all subse-
' quent savings in operating costs should be at

once passed on to the shipper in still further
redUctions. It is now an open secret that the

‘ executive committee of the railway executives

' unanimously adopted the Farm Bureau sug-

gestion and presented a plan for an immedi-
ate reduction of 10 per cent. The railroad
presidents, however, voted down the recom-
mendations of their executive committee and

. decided; instead to press their demand for

V labor.

furth'enieructions in the wages of railway
is action led to the strike announce-

' ment by the railroad brotherhoods.

Other Industries Have Deflated
Now comes the farmer, and his petition to

'= the Interstate Commerce Commission declares

that the railroads have made a mistake-in re-

; fusing his suggestion for a reduction; that

farm prices are below pre-war; that the farm-

er’s buying power has been ruined largely be-

. cause of freight rates unreduced in the face of
: deflation of every other great industry; that
~ railroad labor has just taken a reduction tot-

v ailing $400,000,000; and that for the good of

the public it is now the part of justice for a
freight rate reduction to be ordered immed-

; lately. '

On September 21, a conference was held in
New York City which was attended by
groups representing railroads, manufacturing
and shipping, and agriculture to discuss the
entire rate situation. -The agricultural group
comprised representatives from the Grange
and the Farm Bureau. The railroads were

E represented by three of their outstanding ex-
, ecutives. After a long discussion in which
‘ the railroad executives strenuously contended

that under present conditions any rate reduco
hens would mean bankruptcy, a committee
consisting ofthree railroad executives, a rep-

; resentative of the National“ Manufacturers

Association, , a representative of a leading ag-
ricultural implement firm, and the President
of the  Farm Bureau Federation was

business; that recent reports indicate the rail-
roads to be more prosperous than any other
class of business in the nation; that mailroad
labor has recently taken a 12 per cent reduction
and that the costs of steel and coal will in the
future probably be decreased. Therefore,_ the
least the railroads could do would be to an-
nounce an immediate reduction in rates on
basic commodities which would include agri-
cultural products, building materials, coal and
ores, and that all subsequent economies in op—
erating expenses should be reflected in de-
creased freight rates on those commodities un-
til the 40 per cent advance of August 26, 1920
is eliminated.

'These proposals were presented to the ex-
ecutive committee of the railroad executives
at Chicago on October 9 and approved by them
-—a 10 per cent reduction to become effective
immediately. At the meeting on October 14,
of all the executives, however, the immediate
reduction was not approved, but a strong res-
olution was passed which stated that all de-
creases in operating costs from whatever source
would be given at once to the public in the
form of a rate reduction.

The information regarding the purpose of
the Chicago meeting of the railroad executives
caused the labor leaders to believe that re-
ductions in wages were immediately antici-
pated. A conference between railroad exec-
utives and the labor representatives was held
following the October 14 meeting. The ex-
ecutives told the labor leaders that not only
must the national agreements be set aside but
that a. further 10 per cent reduction in wages
would be immediately sought. This was re-
sented by labor, and armed with authoriza-
tion to call a general sfirke in resistance of
the fifious 12 per cent decrease ordered by
the 'lway Labor Board an order for a
general strike on November 2 was issued.

which the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion functions except as a part of the Amen-
can public. The farmer is selfishly Interest-
ed in labor having a wage schedule which
willenableittomaintainagoodstandardof

The petition filed by the American Farm
Bureau Federation declares:

"The forces of commerce and society have
compelled other industries to reduce their
charges. Agricultural products on the farm to-
day are approximately the basis of. or below,
the pre—war level, but the freight rates which the
farmer has to pay average 70 per cent above
the pre—war level. Such maladjustments in the
farmer’s prices and costs constitute a heavy bur-
den on American agriculture which destroys the
purchasing power of a vast body of our popula-
tion. One of the most important factors bring-
ing about the present situation in American in-
dustry is the excessive level of freight rates which
have to be paid.

“Railroad rates today are at the highest point
during the present generation. Practically every
other great industry in America has reduced its
prices during the past year. Even railroad labor
has been forced to take a reduction of approxi-
mately $400,000,000 in addition to a modifica:
tion recently ordered in the national agreements,
and in addition to several hundred thousand of
their number being discharged and deprived of

their daily livelihood; aim yet our railroad cor- =

porations decline to make any general rate re-
duction at this time. .

“The efficient and economical operation and
management of the railroad properities demand

Beet Growers Confer

PPOINTMENT of a special sugar beet
committee from the American Farm
Bureau Federation to investigate and suggest
remedies for the marketing problems of the
sugar beet producers of the middle western
states will probably be asked of President J.
R. Howard of the Farm Bureau Federation
as the result of a meeting of Michigan, Illi-
nois and Ohio sugar beet producers repre-
sentatives held at Michigan State Farm
Bureau headquarters Friday, October 21.
Attending the Lansing meeting were A. E.
Diekman of South Holland, 111., representing
Illinois beet growers interests; C. W. Waid
of Columbus, Ohio, the Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation’s director of vegetable and fruit
marketing; R. P. Reavey of Caro, Mich, and
T. C. Price of Saginaw, of the Michigan
Sugar Beet Growers Association.

_ It was intimated by those attending the 9
meeting that President Howard would prob- ,
ably be asked to appoint a national sugar ,

Things Are Not So Bad After AIL
Y COMPARISON—things are not so bad
in Michigan after all. Word comes from
the west that farmers are selling corn at 20
cents. a bushel, and business is stagnant.

~~.“Thousands of farmers in Iowa are bankrupt,

and don’t know it,” was the word which an
implement dealer brought to a recent conven-
tion at Chicago. Well, there are probably
some farmers in Michigan who are also bank—
rupt and don’t know it, but they are few and
far between. All things considered the farm-
ers of Michigan are in a far better financial
position than the farmers of almost any other
state, With the possible exception of New York.
There are three reasons for this. The first and
most important is the diversity of crops. If
one crop returns no money there is usually
another to fall back upon. The second is
proximity to market. Farmers of the west
are virtually cut off from the great eastern
markets by prohibitive freight rates. The
third is lower interest rates. In some western
states bankers are charging eight to ten per
cent for loans. The maximum for most of low—
er Michigan is still 7 per cent, With rates on
small loans for short periods of time ranging
from eight to twelve per cent. Prosperity
should return to Michigan first of all because
of the combination of this trio of circum-
stances

Rocks Ahead for the Sugar Industry
HE SUGAR industry is in a bad way.
Not only will the farmers have to accept
the guaranteed minimum on their beets this
year but they may have to Sign an even lower

contract another year or else not grow beets.

The sugar companies themselves stand to face
a heavy loss on this season’s operations. To-
day’s prices are below what it costs watered-
stock sugar corporations to produce the sugar,
and are gradually sinking to lower levels. To
make bad matters worse the beets are not rip-
ening, tests showing, it is said less than 12 per
cent sugar content. The beets will be left in
the fields as long as possible in the hopes that
October’s weather will sweeten them up. This
situation means nothing to“ the farmer direct-
ly as beets are not bought according to sugar
content, but a fraction of one per cent 1n sug-
ar content means thousands of dollars one way
or another to the manufacturer.

Writers in the interest of the manufactur-
ers are laying a good deal of stress upon the

- fact ‘that while the farmer’s price is guaran-

teed, the manufacturers must take their chanc-
es with the market. Two years ago when the
farmers barely broke even and the manufac-

of this industry .why should they share any
greater part of the losses than is represented
in an unremunerative priCe for their beets ‘I’

The sugar industry will never be placed up-
on a sound basis until the farmers either own

the factories or the factory owners can be-

shown the stupidity of trying to run the bus-
iness without taking the farmer in as a part-
ner in the negotiations if not a partner in the
profits. The farmers are perfectly willing to
take their chances with the markets with‘ ev-
eryone else, and will cheerftu bear their
share of the losses providing they can also have
their share 0f the profits.

 

A Hard Job of Explaining

HE SECRETARY of the Michigan Milk

Producers’ Ass ’n is having an awful time
explaining the figures of the U. S. Bureau of
Markets which show that in most areas of the
country the farmers are getting a better price
for their milk than in the Detroit area. The
original argument was that the prices quoted
did not apply to “comparable” areas, and the
Business Farmer was chided for “its vicious
desire to mislead the public.” But when the
bluff was called and the official figures for
“comparable” areas published the secretary

tried to patch up his shattered defense by de- -

claring that the prices quoted were not what
the farmers received but what the distributors
paid, and from those prices the cost of admini—
istration must be deducted. This is probably
true. The cost of administration in the De-

troit area is small because the association owns

no plants or other physical equipment to speak
of. It may be large in those sections where
the farmers have money invested in receiving
and distributing stations. But again, we can
not take the Secretary’s word for this. We
must make a careful investigation to discover
what it has cost the farmers elsewhere to mar-
ket their own product and what dividends that
cost has returned by way of better prices for
dairy products so marketed. This investiga-
tiOn will be undertaken and the results an-
nounced in due season. ,

Labor and the Farm Bureau

HE HISTORY of the American Farm

Bureau Federation has been a history of
distinct antagonism to the.the aims of labor.
On repeated occasions it has seen fit to declare
its position upon labor controversies and very
seldom if ever has that postion been friendly
to labor. This has not only placed the farmer
in a false light but.ghas given rise to the sus-
picion that the Federation was being used as
a tool by mercenary employing interests who
have aided the state farm bureau membership
campaigns by loans of money and otherwise.
Fortunately, recent developments show that
this suspicion was unfounded and that the farm
bureau has come Ito its senses on the labor
question. For, in a recent statement it con-
demns the avowed purpose of the railways to
further reduce wages at this time and insists
that the entire amount of $400,000,000 al-
ready taken from labOr by wage reductions
be distributed to the public through immed-
iate freight rate reductions. It scoffs the
railway’s claim that a ten per cent reduction
of rates would mean bankruptcy, and reminds
them that everyone else has had to suffer de-
flation, and there is no reason why the roads
should receive preferential treatment.

This is the fair attitude to take. All of
the freight rate reductions should not and
cannot come out of the pockets of the laborer.
Labor is rapidly approaching, if it has not
already reached a minimum wage scale, below
which it must struggle for a mere existence.
One does not have to approve of all that labor
has done in the past to recognize this fact and
oppose the return of wages on which the lab-
oring man cannot support himself and family.
The farmers and the laboring men have “liq-

uidated”, and taken. their losses. It is now
“time for rail heads and others who draw fat
salaries and six per cent dividends to get in
line with the rest of the,crowd and sacrifice

something for the common good.  ~ ‘ ‘

ten or twenty years hence. By that we donot '

mean that Farmer Jones’ voice will be so de- '

his mechanically operated farm that he will be

A National Mistake

ITH FREIGHT rates at a point when

they are paralyzing industry and a '

great railroad strike in prospect, the country
is just beginning to realize what a colossal
blunder it made when it returned the roads
to private control. The Business Farmer was
one of two or three farm papers out of about
two hundred which vigorously opposed the
return of the roads at that particular time on
the grounds that the great problem of tram
portation could be better handled during the
period of reconstruction under unified gov-
ernment control than under private control.
Events of the past few months have fully
demonstrated the Wisdom of this position, and

farm organizations and farm papers which ,

were most active in lobbying for a return of
the roads to the private owners and which are
now'hopelessly clamoring "for a reduction in
rates, are beginning to see the folly of their
former attitude. I

Railroad rates must come down and bus-
iness marks time while the rail heads engage
in long-winded arguments on why rates can’t
come down. Labor unions threaten to strike
and the private owners have no weapon at
hand to combat the strike. With the govern-
ment in complete control of the situation, the
roads operated for service instead . of profit,
rates could be reduced and the men who work
on the roads still be paid living wages. In addi-

tion, the government would be in a superior ,
position to cope with unreasonable demands, l
of labor leaders and enforce their, mandates. i

to barter in the pelts of creatures

nothing like this before, and he felt

I all at once as if he had done murder.

“I’m sorry," he breathed softly.

“you poor little devil; I’m sorry!”

_ It was almost a prayer—for for-
giveness. Yet there was but one
thing to do now. So quietly that Noe-
wa failed to hear him he crept
around with the wind and stole up
behind. He was within a dozen feet
of Neewa before the cub suspected
danger. Then it was too late. In a
‘swift rush Challoner was upon him
and, before Neewa could leave the
\back of his mother, had smothered
him in the folds of.the grub sack.

In all his life Challoner had nev-
er experienced a livelier five min-
utes that the five that followed.

Above Neewa’s grief and his fear
there rose the savage fighting blood
of old Soominitik, his father. He
clawed and bit and kicked and
snarled. In those five minutes he
was five little devils all rolled tnto
one. and by the time Challoner had
the rope fastened about Neewa's
neck and his fat body chucked into
the sack, his hands were scratched
and lacerated in a score’of places.

In the sack Neewa continued to
fight until he was exhausted, while

Challoner skinned Noozak and cut
from her the meats and fats which
he wanted. The beauty of Nooza-k’s
pelt brought a glow into his eyes.
In it he rolled the meat and fats,
and with babiche thong bound the
whole into a pack around which he
halted the dunnage ends of his
shoulder straps. Weighted under the
burden of six pounds of pelt and

3 meat he picked up his rifle—and

Neewa. It had been early afternoon
when he left. It was almost sunset
when he reached camp. Every foot
of the way, until the last half mile,
Neewa fought like .a Spartan.

Now he lay limp and almost life-
less in his sack, and when Mild

‘ came up to smell suspiciously of his

prison, he\-made no movement of
protest. Alil smells were alike to

' himrvnow, and of sounds he made no

I N distinction.

 
   
  
   
 
 

  
   
 

Challoner was nearly
done for. Every muscle and bone in
his body had its ache. Yet in his
face, sweaty and grimed, was a grfn
of pride.

“You plucky little devil,” he
said, contemplating the limp sack as
he loaded his pipe for the first
time that afternoon. “You—yon
plucky little devil!"

He tied the end of Neewa’s rope
halter to a sapling, and began can-
tiously to open the mb sack. Then
he rolled Neewa out on the ground.
and stepped back. In that hour
Neewa was willing to accept a truce
so far as Challoner was concerned
But it was not Challoner that his
half-blinded eyes saw first as he
rolled from his bag. It was Miki!
And Miki, his awkward body wrig-
gling with the excitement of his
curiosity, was almost on the point
of smelling of him!

Neewa’s little eyes glared. Was
that ill-jointed lop~eared offspring
of the man-beast an enemy. too?
Were those twisting convolutions of
his tail an invitation to fight? He
judged so. Anyway, here was some-
thing of his size, and like a flash

good cheer, was on his\back in an
instant, his grotesque legs paddling

the air and his yelping cries for
help rising in a wild clamour that

eveningswith an unutterable woe.
Challoner stood dumbfounded. In
another moment he would have sep~
arated the little fighters, but some-
thing happened that stopped him.

on Challoner. In midair Mild wag-
ged his paws; he whined softly? his
hard tail thumped the ground as he
pleaded for mercy, and he licked
his chops and tried to wriggle, as
if to tell Neewa that he had no in-
tention at all to do him harm. Nee-
wa, facing Challoner, snarled defi-
antly. He drew himself slowly from
over Mi-ki. And Miki, afraid to move,
still lay on his back with his paws
in the air.

Very slowly, a look of wonder on
his face. Challoner drew back into
the tent and peered through a rent
in thecanvas.

The snarl left Neewa's face. He
looked at the pup. Perhaps away
back in some corner of his brain
the heritage of instinct was telling
him of what he had lost because of
brothers and sisters unborn«.—— the
comradeship of babyhood, the play
of children. And Miki must have
sensed the change in‘ the furry lit-
tle black creature who a moment
ago was his enemy. His tail thump-
ed almost frantically, and he swung
out his front paws toward Neewa.
Then, a little fearful of what might
happen, he rolled on his side. Still
Neewa did not move. J oyously M‘i‘ki
wriggled.

A moment later, looking through
the slit in the canvas, Challoner
saw them cautiously smelling noses.

 

CHAPTER FOUR

T night came a cold and driz-
zling rain from out of the north
and. the east. In the wet dawn
Challoner came out to start a fire,
and in a hollow under a spruce root
he found

together, sound asleep.

It was the cub who‘ first saw the
man-beast, and for a brief space
before the pup roused himself Nee-
wa’s shining eyes were fixed on the

Miki and Neewa cuddled -

strange enemy who had so utterly
changed his world for him. Exhaus-
tion had made him sleep through
the long hours of that first night of
captivity, and in sleep he had for-
gotten many things. But now it all
came back to him as he cringed
deeper into his shelter under the
root, and so softly that only Miki

heard him he whimpered for his

mother.
It was the whimper that roused
Miki. Slowly he untangled himself

from the ball into which he had
rolled, stretched his long and
overgrown legs, and yawned so

loudly that the sound reached Chal-
loner’s ears. The man turned and
saw two pairs of eyes fixed upon
hin‘ from the sheltered hollow un-
der the root. The pup’s one good ear
and the other that was half gone
stood up alertly, as he greeted his
master with the boundless good
cheer of an irrepressible comrade—
ship. Challoner’s face, wet with the
drizzle of the gray skies and bronz-
ed by the wind and storm of four—
teen months in the northland, light-
ed up with a responsive grin, and
Miki wrigg'lged forth weaving and
twisting himelf into grotesque con-
tortions expressive of happiness at
being thus directly smiled at by his
master.

With all the room under the root
left to him Neewa pulled himself
back until only his round head was
showing, and from this fortress of
temporary safety his bright eyes
glared forth at hir mother's mur-
derer.

Vividly the tragedy of yesterday
was before him again—the warm,
sun—filled creek bottom in which he
and Noozak, his mother, were hunt-
ing a breakfast of crawfish when
the man-beast came; the crash of

the timber, and the end of it all
when his mother turned, to com
front their enemy. And yet it was
not the death of his mother that_
remained with him most poignantly
this morning. It was the memory
of his OWn terrific fight with the
white man, and his struggle after-
ward in the black and suffocating
depths of the bag in which Challon-
er had brought him to his camp.
Even now Challoner was looking at
the scratches on his hands. He ad-
vanced a few steps, and grinned
down at Neewa, just as he had grin-
ned good—humouredly at Mik’i, the
angular pup.

Neewa’s little eyes blazed.

“I told you last night that I 
sorry,” said Challoner, speaking as
if to one of his own kind.

In several ways Challoner was

unusual, an out—of-the-ordinary type

in the northland. He believed, for
instance, in a certain specific psy-
chology of the animal mind, and
had proven to his own satisfaction"
that animals treated and conversed
with in a matter-of—fact human way
frequently developed an under-
standing which he, in his unscientif-
ic way, called reason.

"I told you I was sorry," he re-
peated, squatting on his heels with-
in a yard of the root from under
which Neewa's eyes were glaring at
him, “and I am. I’m sorry I killed
your mother. But we had to have
meat and fat. Besides, Miki and I
are going to make it up to you. We'-
re going to take you along with us
down to the Girl, and if you don't
learn to love her you’re the meanest,
lowest-dowu cuss in all creation and
don’t deserve a mother. You and
Miki are going to be brothers. His
mother is dead, too—plum starved
to death, which is worse than dying
with a bullet in your lung. And I
found Miki just as I found you, hug-
ging up close to her an' crying as
if there wasn't any world left for
him. So cheer up, and give us your
paw. Let’s shake!"

Challoner held out his hand. Nee-
was as motionless as a stone. A few
moments before he would have
snarled and bared his teeth. But
now he was dead still. This was by
all odds the strangest beast he had
ever seen. Yesterday it had not
harmed him, except to put him into
the bag. And now it did not offer to
harm him. More than that, the talk
it made was not unpleasant, or
threatening. His eyes took in Miki.
The pup had squeezed himself
squarely between Challoner's knees
and was looking at him in a pus-
zled, questioning sort of way, as if
to ask: “Why don’t you come out
from under that root and help get
breakfast?"

Challoner’s hand came nearer.
and Neewa crowded himself back
until there was not another inch of
room for him to fill. Then the mire»
ole happened. The man-beest’s paw
touched his head. It sent a strange
and terrible thrill through him. Yet
it did not hurt. If he had not wedged
himself in so tightly he would have
scratched .md bitten. But he could

do neither.
Slowly Challoner worked his
fingers to the loose hide at the

back of Neewa’s neck. Miki. surmis-
ing that something momentous was
about to happen, watched the pm-
ceedings with popping eyes. Then
Challoner’s fingers closed and the
next instant he dragged Neewa forth
and held him at arm’s length, kick.-
ing and squirming, and set-ting up
such a bawling that in sheer sympa-
thy Miki raised his voice and join-
ed in the agonized orgy of sound.
Half a minute later Challoner had
Neewa once more in the prison-
sack, but this time he left the cub’s
head protruding, and drew in the
mouth of the sack closely about his
neck, fastening it securely with a
piece of babiche string. Thus three
quarters of Neewa was imprisoned in
the sack, with only his head stick-
ing out. He was a cub in a poke.

' ' " OUR article asks-ice About the

I Michigan Fluid Milk Business“
" Interested me very much but
when I came to Mr. John Schlairs

letter my wrath was amused. Now, '

I don't live in the Detroit area. but
I know that the farmers in this neck
or the woods are NOT satisfied with
their milk returns, and I don’t be-
lieve those near Detroit are. But i!
“the milk market is the best ready
cash the farmer has had for two
years," why does he need some one
to tell him so? Is the farmer so ig-
norant that he needs some white col-
lared gentlemen to tell bun whether
heisgettingafairprtceornot? I
think Mr. Schlalf needs some "first-
hand information” for himself and
the piece to get it is from some of
the men who depend upon the farm
for their living. I don’t think he
would find them so very ignorant
either, tor I believe 99 per cent of
them can write a letter and not make
as many errors in English as Mr.
Schlafl has made in his letter.

> As to the breeding of anarchy,—
well, if all the anarchists had wait-
ed for the M. B. F. to give them a
start I‘m afraid they would still be
waiting. We look upon the M. B. F.
as a personal friend and when Mr.
Schlaff makes such an accusation
against it, we steel like turning the
old bull dog loose on him and saying
“Sic 'e-m”. '

Whenever anyone of prominence
takes a stand in favor of the people,
he makes enemies. Both Lincoln
and Washington had many enemies;
but now they lie forgotten, while the
men whom they sought to overthrow
will always live in the hearts of the
people. The very fact that Mr.
Schlafl and others who would like to
hoodwink the milk producers, take
ofl'ense at the M. B. F. for printing
the truth, is evidence that they are
beginning tofear that the farmers
will wake up and market his own
milk in the near future. I firmly
believe that the M. B. F. has behind
it every thinking man and woman
in Michigan and need not fear the

“enmity of all the Scth in Christen-

dom.

Now, I would like to have some of
you farmers who send milk to the
Schlaff Creamer 00. and to other
Detroit concerns send in your views
on this subject. Does your milk
check pay production costs? Are
you satisfied? Do you need someone
to tell you that you are, anyway?—

NEAR EAST

WOULD LIKE to ask a few ques-

tions in regard to the Near East

Relief fund to be raised. Do the
railroads and transportation lines
make a reduction on freight or do
they handle it free of charge, it so
which roads do? I am glad to help
the starving children of any nation
caused by the world’s war for I do
not consider the children to blame
whether their rulers were friend or
foe and I believe the people in my
locality are of the same opinion. I
am also asking if the Emergency
Grain Board has charge of distribut-
ing among those that are solicited
for I believe they are all good reli-
able men.

I was a solicitor on the Eaton
county war chest drive that has
proven very dissatisfactory and it
has been reported that from four to
six'tho-usand of that fund was sent
for relief in the Near East. I am of
the opinion that the people of Eaton
county are very kind hearted and lib-
eral to a good cause but in the past
four years they have became weary
of having their donations go in the
hands of foreign capital or American
s1ackers.—-——M. S.. Eaton County.

 

The Grand Trunk railway system
moves the grain for Near East Relief
free of charge from Det it to seaboard
points. The State Directo ris trying he

trait. The grain will be milled :free of
charge. The state committee will have
nothing to do with the actual distribu-
tion of the grain after it arrives in the
Near East, This will be in the hands of
the resident committee, composed mostly
of American men and women acting un-
der orders from the National Committee
which is composed of such men as Secre-
tary of State Hughes, W‘m. Howard Tait.
Cleveland Dodge. etc. No attempt is
being made to feed the adult refugees.
because, lax-go as is the Near East or-
ganization. to feed all is an impossibil-
ity. But the children in the orphanages
must be fed and others taken in if pos—
sible. We are all a little tired of giv-
ing. There has been so mud) of it the
last four years. but few of us can stand
by and see children starve to death as
long as We are in a position to feed
them. The success oi the campaign thus
far indicates that the farmers of Mich-
igan are living up to their traditions and
will do their part for the enter
children of the Near beta—Editor.

‘   been wanting to, ask your '
‘  ‘ advice for some true, but after ‘

. you have read my letter you will
understand why I’ve been so long.
You see I just need heaps of ad-
.vice frOm the other farmers' wives.
I want to know what they would do
if the same trouble came into their
homes. ‘

I have a dearly-loved cousin whose
home has been very unhappy for the
last year. Just a year ago my cous~
in's husband got badly mixed up with
a city woman. I do not think my
cousin would have taken it to heart
if her husband had not compared his
wife’s clothes, house, etc., with the
city woman's.

My cousin has four children whom
she thinks the world of. She keeps
them dressed as nice looking as her
richer neighbors’ children, but she
makes over and turns every dress
and coat, dyes, twists them around
until the dress she is making looks
like a new one from the store. Now,
every mother knows that living on a
farm, trying to pay for it and bring
up children, some one must go with-
out real nice clothes. In this case
it was my cousin. Her clothes were
nice, but nothing like the city wom-
an were.

The husband got so he couldn’t
speak pleasantly to the children.
My cousin's home is just outside
town, so it’s just a nice walk to the
stores. Many a night after the sup-
per werk was done and children to
bed, they would both walk up town
for the last mail, but the husband
wouldn’t wait, didn't have time, etc.
At last he told my cousin he didn’t
want her always trailing along.

Things went from bad to worse
until my cousin got ill and her hus-
band became a little afraid. Then
things went a little better for a
couple of weeks. One day later I
was there and heard part of the talk.
She had found out something and
told her husband he would never
double-cross her again. He told her
he would do as he pleased, so could
she.
He left the house and she said,
“I‘m so tired, let me sleep." Some-
where in that sleep my gentle cousin
changed. She awoke laughing and
said, "Everything is gone; he has
killed the best part of me."

From a quiet mother of thirty, ins
terested in her children. she became
over night a laughing girl of twenty-
five. She looked younger. Where
she used to save she spent on clothes
for herself. Instead of staying home
sewing and reading, she would do

up her work and take the car and
drive, no one knows where. Her
mending piled up, and she bought

the childrens’ clothes at the store.

We all thought her unhappy, but
thought things would change for the
better after a while.

Men who had known her for years
suddenly began to come to'the house
to play cards and spend a pleasant
evening. Her husband suddenly dis-
covered he had a pretty wife, also a
very popular one.

Where people had never come to
the farm they came again and again.
About this time his interest in the
city woman ran out, and he became
very loving to his wife. She took it
It'll with a cool smile and went her
usual way. Where they used to pass
their evenings at homeit became the
rule to go to the show, either asking
my husband and myself or someon
else. ‘

Along the route somewhere a
friend of the family would turn up
and it was always a man. Always
it was my cousin who had to sit in
the front seat of the big cars.

I tried to talk to her, but the an-
swer came with a laugh. “It’s fun to
be liked, petted and always treated
' to the best.” So this quiet mother,

who changed into a laughing. Pretty"

girl, is going her way breaking
hearts as carefree as the wind.
There are several fine men whom
any w0man would be proud to can
husband, who are hopelessly in love
with my cousin. '
' .Her husband is now madly in love
with her. Should she forgot the
way he used her all last winter?
~ I asked her one day if she could
‘ notion-give him. She said, “Some-
thing snapped in me last winter and

 

.a »

 
   
 

I can’t care for anyone. I'm so tired
all the time. I would die if I staid
in the house. I want to go and go
until I drop asleep, then I can for
get. I have thought until I am
crazy, and everything goes in a cir-
cle."

“But,” I said, “your husband now
really loves you.” "Does he?” she
asked. “Don’t you care for him?"
I asked her. "When he touches me
I shiver." she answered.

There is never a day but candy,
books, etc., come from some friend.
She will call me up and tell me Har-
ry is coming in his big car to take
her to a show, or Carl sent her the
latest magazine.

Now, I'm not asking advice for her
husband, although I know he suffers
everything. He did wrong, and in
doing so change-d one of the sweet-
est women in the world to a cold.
unfeeling flirt. But how can we
save my cousin? We have all talked
but she laughs at us. She is like a
sparkling piece of glass; pretty, but
cold to the touch.

Her husband can’t find fault. The
house is always neat and clean, meals
on time and children look as if they
always came out of a band-box.

If you. Mrs. Jenney, or some of
the farmer wives of this circle can
help or give advice in any way I
would be ever so thankful.

She has done nothing really wrong
except to treat all men alike; to
laugh, to talk, and in some way be-
witch every man who comes her
way. When asked if she really
cared for any one man besides her
husband, she answered with a look
of surprise on her face, “I wouldn’t
give a snap of my fingers for any
man in the world." And I believe
her.

To step into her cozy home, to
see her, you or anyone would say
she was the happiest woman in the
world. But weswho know her and
love her know something is very
wrong. Somehow we must find a
cure, so through your help and other
farmers' wives we ask you to try and
find a way. We who love her have
tried and failed.e—-—A Friend.

 

GAMES FOR HALLOWE’EN
Shadow Bun
* SPLENDID game, and one spec-
ially suitable for a large party.
A sheet or white tablecloth is
first stretched right across the room
and on a table behind it-is placed a
bright lamp. All the other lights in
the room are then extinguished and
one of the players takes a seat upon

a. low stool midway between the lamp
and the sheet. The other players
attempt to disguise themselves

'much as possible by distorting their

features, rumpling their hair, wear-
ing wigs, false noses. etc., and past
one by one behind the player seated
on the stool. Their shadows are
thus thrown upon the sheet. The aim
of the seated player is to guess the
identity of the shadows as they pass
before him; and the aim of the oth-
ers is to endeavor by every means in
their power to keep him from recog-
nizing them. As may be imagined,
the task of the single player is not
an easy one, the distorted shadows
being vastly diferent from the or
iginals as seen before the lights were
extinguished.

Apple Par-ing
Each guest receiving apple and
knife, is requested to peel apple with-
out breaking, then swing paring
around head and let it drop to the
floor. The letter formed is initial
or future mate’s name. Or you may
hang paring over the door, the first
of opposite sex to pass under will be
your mate.
Web of Fate

Long bright colored strings of
equal length are twined and inter-
twined to form a web. Use half as
many strings as there are guests.
Remove furniture from center of
large room, stretch rope around the
room from corner to corner, about
four feet from floor. Tie the end
of each string to rope half at one
end and half at one side of room
Weave the string across to the oppo-
site end of the room and attach to
rope. Or leave furniture in room
and twine strings around it. Each
guest is stationed at end of string
and at a signal they begin to wind
up the string until they meet their
fate at the other end of it. The
lady and gentleman winding the
same string will marry each other,
conditions being favorable, otherwise
they will marry someone else. Those
who meet one of their own sex at the
other end of the String wil be old
maids or bachelors. The couple fin-
ishing first will be wedded first. A
prize may be given the lucky couple,
also to pair of old maids and bach-
elors finishing first.

Walnut Boats

Open English walnuts. remove the
meat and in each half fasten short
pieces of differently-colored Christ-

RECIPES REQUESTED
I saw the request in a recent issue
for candied citron recipe and decided to
send in mine, and also the recipe for

" canned horseradish.

- Candied Citron ,

Cut the citron, which should be fully
ripe, “into very-large pieces and peel, us-
ing only the hard outside part. To each
four pounds of citron allow two pounds
of sugar, one lemon and one-half tea-
spoon of ground ginger, one half teaspoon
of ground cloves and alspice, mixed. Put
the citron in a kettle and pour the sugar
over it and let it sit all night. In the
morning add the lemon, out fine, and the
spices in a bag. Cook until the citron
is clear and tender and the syrup quite
thick. Take it out and drain it well and
spread in a single layer on a large
agate tray in a place where the wind will
blow over it, but do not put it in the sun
or oven. Turn occasionally and keep the
tray tilted so thatqany syrup that drains
on may be readily dipped out with a
spoon. When partly dry roll in granu-
lated sugar and spread again. Repeat
until well crystalized. then pack away for
winter. The syrup is fine for pancakes.

For Canned Horseradish

I canned some horseradish raw with
vinegar one year, but it did not keep; so
then I tried grating the horseradish and
seasoning with vinegar and a tablespoon
of sugar and a teaspoon of salt to each
quart, using enough vinegar to thin as

for table nee. Then I filled the cans

loosely and set them on a false bottom
in the boiler and put in enough water in
the boiler so it came about half way up
around the cans. I then put the cover
on the boiler and gave them a steam bath
for half an hour from the time they
fitted to boil. The horseradish was

~ EAR CHILDREN: So many let—
' ters have come to my desk the

- past few weeks that, much to
my regret, I will not be able to pub-
lish them all for months and months
and as I know you are all anxious
to know soon after writing your let-
ter whether it will be printed or not,
I have a plan which I am going to
try. Each Wednesday I will take
all the letters I have received during
the past week and put them in a
large box with a cover on. The cov-
er will be closed and the box will be
shaken until the letters are all mix-
ed up. Then someone will be blind—
folded, the cover of the box will
'be removed and this person will take
out the letters, one at a time hand-
ing each one to me, until I have
enough to fill our page. The re—
maining letters will then be taken
rfrom the box and the name and ad~
dress on each will appear in a list on
Our page. So if your letter isn’t
printed within 'two weeks after you
write you will find your name in the
list. If your first letter is not pub-
lished do not get discouraged but
try again. Everyone has a fair
chance and you may be one of the
lucky ones next time. I cannot ex-
press how sorry I am that each and
every letter can not be published
but the editor tells me. he is unable
to allow us more space at present
owing to the smallness of our issues.
A little later our issues may be
larger and then I’ll ask him again.
I know he will be generous with us
at that time but at present he also
has to make the other departments
in the paper smaller.

Of course you all read Bernice M.
Klein’s letter last week. but 'how
many of you have written to her?
I wish all of you that can find the
time would write hen—UNCLE
NED.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Nedz—May I please join
your merry circle? I am afraid I don't
understand what it is, but all the same
I will join. I am 13 years old and in
the eighth grade. I certainly appreciate
my fine teacher and love to go to school,
At first I did not pay any attention to
the D00 Dads or even the M. B. F. Can
anyone imagine that? I certainly would
not think of missing it now. I would
consider it a punishment, My father is a
breeder of pure-bred Duroc Jersey hogs
and Guernsey cattle. I am much pleased
with ,outdoor sports; riding horse back
and basket ball in summer, and ice skat—
ing in winter. I have a fine riding horse.
Bhe weighs about 600 lbs, and is almost
white. Her name is Gypsy. As for bas-
ket ball our team has been the winning
team for two years. I play jumping or
side center. We have a lake just a short
distance from my home so I have all the
ice skating I want.‘ I love the cold wea-

.ther best. When will Doc Sawbones be

back? I wonder if some of my cousins
will give me a bit 0 pleasure by writing
to me? I get awfully lonesome for I
have no brothers or sisters_ My dear
cousins, let us go to Mt. Clemens and
find Uncle Neds office and then take his
picture. I am just dying to know what
he looks like! Do you suppose he will be
angry when he reads this? Let us hope
not! Some one do write and tell me what
they are going to do Halloween night.
Now you must not tell this for it is a
secret. I am going to soap windows
after seven o’clock but before that I am
going to a party which is to be given by
our Sunday school class. I wish Carolyn
Ann Miller, of Ada, and Iris Arnold, of
Mt. Clemens, would write to me. Also
anyone else who wishes to. Your loving
neice, Anna L. Smith, Jonesville, Mich.,

—-—-—-

The largest and one or the most men-
itorious of the consignments to the
state Guernsey sale at Lansing, last week.
came from William S. Ormston & Son.
St. Johns. The Ormston herd has for I
foundation some of the best producing
families known to the breed and ‘the
animals, sent into the ring on the oc-
casion of the first public sale to be held
under the auspices of the State Guernsey
Breeders’ Association. speak eloquently
of the judgment and discretion exercised
by the members of this firm. father And
son, in connection with their breeding op-
erations: not only did these cattle give
alinple evidence oi! good breeding bu
t ey
cause or their good manners. Every en-
imal in the offering of 31 head, showed
show—ring training and that quiet docil-
ity that is so becoming to the dairy cow.

Rob’t. B. Holmes. Grand Rapids, we:
an interested visitor at the Lansing sale
and, in the end. he settled for his tall
share of the consignment. Mr. Holma
is building up a dairy herd over in west
Michigan that is sure to be a. credit end
an asset to the breed. He made a. erod-
itable exhibit at the 1921 State Mr.

W. H. Whittier, Grand Rapids. was
one of the most frequent and liberal hu-
ders at the Lansing Guernsey sale: On

ture sales of the breed. both with It
presence and his money. Mr. Hicks w.
one of the largest purchasers et the

ly accepted as an evidence of a lfbml
policy in connection with the establish!-

plain-spoken gentleman who occasional-
1y “stirs up the enimals” at annual med.
ings but‘ his heart is in the right plum
and the patronswof the breed can alwm
count on his support tor every worthy
cause.

The M. A. ('3; sale pavilion is en noel

entirely adequate to the needs of the un-

take being an adjournment for lunch a

 and‘tile. “If lit. Bryce, or
anyone else, hasa practical plan for,
marketing milk," he said, “we want
them to present it to theboard and
it will be given careful consideration.
I am not sure but what farmers
mould market their own milk, but
B has not seemed to your officers
that the time is yet ripe for taking
that step. We are glad to know
how you feel about this matter, and
we want you to know that we are
open-minded and willing to consider
any practical scheme."

A. J. Glover, editor of Hoard's
.mirymsn, was the'star speaker of
the canyontion. J'he speaker voiced

 new truths about the economic
phases of the dairy industry but the
old truths wereeexpressed with an
earnestness and force which left a
deep impression upon the audience.
' He emphasized the well-known fact
that it “requiremonly a small sur-
plus of farm products to depress
prices;" called the “cost of produc-
tion plus a profit” theory an 600!
n’cmic. fallacy; and declared that the
ally way farmers could produce milk
1 anywhere near a profit was to use
better cows and more efficency in
their business.

The speakef spoke in high praise
of the officers of the Michigan Milk
Preducers' Ass’n, and told the dele-
gates they were to be congratulated
for having such level—headed men at
the head of their association, at the
no time reminding them of some
of the difficulties which other Asso-
dstions were having because of poor
management .

In the next breath Mr. Glover
spoke highly of eiforts which had
been made elsewhere, notably by
the farmers of the Twin City area, to
build city receiving plants and fact-
ories to handle surplus, unmindfnl
o! the fact apparently that the op-
position to the present officers was
entirely the result of their failure to
do the very thing he was recom‘
mending.

The speaker severely criticized
present methods of milk marketing
but instead of placing the blame
where it belongs, upon the heads of
profiteering milk distributors, he
laid most of it against the milk wa-
gondriver who gets up at two o’clock
h the morning in all kinds of weath-
er and delivers the milk to the city
consumer.

Mr. Glover made it known that he
Is also one of those who believes in
me farmer eventually marketing his
own product. “But first,” he said.
"you must have your plants for con-
verting surplus, before you attempt
to distribute the fluid milk."

H. H. Hallway, commissioner of
agriculture, wound up the conven-
tion program, by an interesting talk
upon the work of his department,
particularly those bureaus which
come in contact with the diary in-
dustry.

Michigan has joined with wool

IWORLD’S RECORD
MADE BY JERSEY

A new world’s record tor 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 best 1 year, 11 mos” 28 days
of age and produced. in one year
1.1.756 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!

TO SEED FOR PERMANENT
PASTURE

I have a seven-acre field which is so
broken up by ravines that it is unprof-
itable to harvest grain and grass from.
I use this mostly for pasture. It is well
drained and of rather heavy clay. What
would you recommend for a good grass
mixture to sow for permanent pasture
or one that would do well for five or six
years? Would spring seeding without
a nurse crop be best? If a. nurse crop
(oats or barley) were used could It be
pastured oi! without killing the roots of
the grass seed? Will nature,
plantain. Canada thistle and such weeds
seed rot in a manure new during a year‘s
time or less, if covered too deep to grow
on the top? Does quack grass and
ads. thistle germinate extensively from
theseedathatlammostofthemfm
tile if matured?—Herbert A, Bailey, Man
quette county, Michigan. -

Would recommend using barley
as a nurse crop to keep down the
weeds until the clovers and grasses
obtain a start. Better seedings are
frequently secured by sowing only

' two-thirds the usual amount of bar-

ley. The following mixture of clov-
ers and grasses should give good re-
sults under your conditons: Ken-
tucky blue grass, 5 lbs.; red clover,
5 lbs.; alsike clover, 2 lbs.; red top.
2 lbs.; White clover, 1-2 lb. The
above amount for one acre.

When manure is composted for
two or more months, practically all
of the weed seed will have lost their
vitality.

While not all quack grass seed
and Canada thistle seed germinate, .
some do and are likely to» get these
pests established so that they will
spread rapidly from the underground
root stalks‘.—C. R. Megee, Associate
in Farm Crops, M. A. C.

 

HOLD CHILD FOR PAYMENT OF
BOARD ' -

My husband and I took a little girl to
take care of and board. Her mother had
deserted and her father left her with us
The child was one year and six months
old when she came here and is new three
years and three months old. Her father
has never been very attentive: has never
given us any money to clothe her, or
given her anything except a \pair of

'shoes and two pairs of stockings. Has

never once paid her board up in fun. and
is now over a year behind. We would
like adoption papers which he refuses.
Would you please tell us through your
paper if we could hold the child for her
board or do anything about it‘I—qFrien

Onaway, Michigan. .

A child is not property and can
not be held for any debt as secur-
ity. The welfare of the child is
paramount and courts have been
known to refuse to deliver a child to
its parents when its welfare demands
otherwise. The promise of the fath-
er to pay for the board creates a
debt for which a judgment in a suit '
may be recovered and the money
collected from his property, if any
exists, that would be liable to ex-
ecution.——Legal Editor.

SEX OF GEESE
Please advise how to determ c the
sex of young geesme W. S. 0.,
Glennie, Michigan.

The only known method of deter-
mining the sex of young geese is by
the voice; the gander having a
shriller and a higher-pitched voice.
It might be possible to distinguish
the sex by the carriage of the male;

Worm Tonic for Hogs

John Schmidt, Ann Arbor, Michigan,
asks whether it is necessary to keep
something before hogs or in their food to
expel] worms from their systems in order
to make them thrive properly while they
are being tea, There is a wide difference
of opinion concerning the feeding of worm
tonics to hogs. The writer has, so far,
never realized the need of worm tonics
in connection with his hog-feeding opera»

 

HOGS AVERAGE $43 AT HAYNES’
SALE

The Hillsdale county fair grounds,
Hillsdale, was a busy place on October
5th when F. E. Haynes of Hillsdale sold
85 head of big type Poland China gilts
and boars at public auction. There was

. a fairly large crowd and every one there

seemed to be present because they were
interested as purchasers and bidding was
lively from the time the first animal was
drove into the ring until the hammer
went down on the last one. The top

. price for the sale was $100, the lowest

$27 and the average was $43 per animal.
W. “M. Waffle of Celdwater and John
Hofltman of Hudson cried the sale. All
that attended reported themselves highly
pleased with the manner in which they
were treated. Everything was done for
the comfort of those present.

UDDER SWOLLEN AND RED

I would like to ask you what ails my
cow. When I turned her out in the
morning she was alright and when I
brought her in at night one half of her
bag was swollen full and red, But the
milk flow was just the same. That was
last Saturday. It is still very bad. Can
you tell me what it is and what to do for
it‘I—«R. T., McBride, Mich.

This condition is often caused by
a bruise either in laying down or by
the animal stepping on one end of a
stick and the other end flying up and
striking the udder. You can use
nothing better than hot water applied
frequently. Give two pounds epsom
salts dissolved in two quarts warm
water. After forty-eight hours give
two ounces potassium nitrate three
or four times a day until udder is
normal.

 

HORSE APPEARS CHOKED

I have an 8-year-old mare that came
down With heaves very suddenly last
spring. I never saw a worse case. She
is in poor flesh, although I feed her corn,
oats and some hay and cornstalks, and
when not using her she is out on grass.
She is very greedy, Her back seems weak,
and she has fallen down several times
while driving her. When very bad she
stands with feet far apart and head near-
ly touching the ground and will walk with
her hind parts swung to one side and
drags her toes. When well she is very
full of life and good worker. Will be
very grateful if you will advise us What
we can do for hen—1.7. S. D., Clare, Mich.

This does not act like a case of
heaves. Your animal appears to be
choked. See that the collar ,fits
properly and does not choke her
when drawing in collar. Does she
heave when standing in stable? If
so, feed very little coarse fodder and
give one ounce of Fowler’ssolution
of aTsenic well back on the tongue

with a. syringe or small bottle be-~-

fore feeding and do not allow her to
over-drink.

I situation, the country over. com
 ~tinues to improve, except, for a
certain anxiety’and unsettlement re-
sultlngfromthepmspectofapos—
sible strike of railway employee.
Balesmen for wholesale lines of goods
report the most active demand, so
far, this season and, strange as .it
may seem. purchasers are not urg-
ing for early shipment. The fear of
a general railroad! strike seems to be
Just about evenly balanced by the
prospect of reduced freight rates at
an early day. Production is gradu-
ally increasing in many departments
of industry. The United States
Steel Corporation has reduced the
selling price of steel $7 per ton,
making the present price $40 per
ton. President Gary is quoted as
saying that present conditions do not
warrant so great a decrease in price
but, that in making this cut, the
company is discounting an early re-
duction in freight rates.

As noted‘ in this column, last week,
the demand for all kinds of lumber
is gaining in activity, the only in~
fluence which operates against a
large immediate delivery of many of
the better grades of construction
lumber, is the high freight rates.
The demand for woolen cloth is said
to be increasing with the advent of
cooler weather; it is probably the
above fact that is helping the mar-
ket for raw wool which has been
strong and active all through the
current month, the principal inquiry
being for the cheaper grades which,
only a few months ago, were not
wanted' at any price.

The stock exchange markets were
adversely affected early in the week
by theprospect of a strike but tow-
ard the close, the speculative situa-
tion became more settled and some
of the leading stocks showed materi-
al gains. Call money fluctuated be-
tween 4 1-2 and 5 per cent and
strong gains were made by foreign
exchange. The weekly bank clear-
ings amounted to $7,068.625,000.

After a week of heavy liquidation
"in which wheat prices slumped seven
to ten cents a bushel, the current
week opened with the market strong—
er and prices generally higher. At
that there is little encouragement for
an immediate improvement in this
market. ‘The uncertainty surround-
' ing the threatened strike is still a.

most disconcerting factor and one
which the speculators find it hard to
discount. Another bearish influence
is the recent decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission order-
ing reduction of rates on interstate
shipments of grain from western
States. It is believed by many that
the lowering of rates will be follow-
ed by a flood of western grain to
eastern markets. Prospects of bet-
ter crops than heretofore indicated
in Australia and Argentina and a
great slackening in the export de—
mand are other influences which
are not conducive to immediately
higher prices.

On the bull side, the Department
of AgriCulture’s report as of October
Ist, estimates total wheat stocks in
the United States on that date of
529 million bushels. This is 75

1111111011 bushels less than was on

As against the smaller
available for domestic needs we have
the offsetting’factors of unemploy-
ment and lowered consumption, but
it is unlikely that the American peo-
ple will be able to get along on .so
small a margin. Then, too, bean
and potato crops are poor and the
prices are likely to be such that the
average consumer will find it much
cheaper to eat bread at the present
price of wheat and flour.

Until the danger of a railroad
strike is over and we have more au-
thentic information upon the crop
yields in the southern hemisphere,
it is impossible to make a diagnosis
of the present and prospective mar—
ket on this grain with any degree of
correctness. For the next couple of
weeks the market is apt to be an
up and down affair, following prob-
ably about the same course it has
the past week. As we go to press
the bullsare trying desperately hard
to put prices back where they were
and the tendency is unmistakably
upward, but we cannot see sustained
higher values on this crop for an-
other two or three weeks at the out-
side.

CORN

At the opening of last week corn
was dull and lower but as time went
on the market became steady and
prices advanced. With the closing
of the week prices again turn -low-
er and the market dull. However,
prices finished higher than they had
been any time during the week, and
at Detroit they were at the same

keeps this market in a fairly healthy
condition. Evoryone feels that cats
are low enough and determined et-
Iforts are being made to prevent
them going lower. We' expect no
further drop of any consequence in

. this market. Improvement in the
other grains should result ln-hizhor
prices on this crop., Again we say:
“If you must buy oats, buy new; if
you have them to sell, wait until
first of the year." .

 

RYE
The price of rye in Detroit last
week lost the same amount as wheat
at this point, 50, and on the Chicago
market it declined 7 and 80. The
market is quiet at present and No.

.The manneq- In which the bean
market continues to, hold up gives
us reasons for believing that prices
may go higher than we have antici-
pated. We expected a drop in beans
about this time. It has not come.
Buying has been vigorous and the
market is firm. It is conceivable
that purchasers may soon find their
immediate wants satisfied and that
the market will ease up a bit within
a short time. We have told you be-
fore that we expect a temporary re-
action .to lower prices in this market,
and we still believe so. Beans will
be lower than they are now before
the end of the year rolls around.
Thereafter, they will recover. The
latest news from California is to the
effect that that state may" not have
over 100,000 bags of small white
beans. So small a quantity could
hardly be reckoned as a market fact-
or. It begins to look as though
Michigan will make the price of
beans this year as in days of yore.
Let’s hope so. With all interested
in p the industry pulling together
there's no reason why the farmer
should not have a. good price on this
year's crop and be encouraged to
plant a larger acreage another year.

There is an easier tone in the po-
tato market and prices are lower
than a week ago. ‘ This is in keep-
ing with our "guess" on the market
for the latter part of October. Some
primary markets like Chicago re-
port that the receipt of potatoes dur-
ing certain weeks of the month were
the highest onfireeord. The principal
shippers up to the present time have
been Maine, New York and some of
the far western states. The move4
ment out of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin has been comparatively light,
but still heavier than a year ago. The
pot-ate trade expresses some surprise
that the market should hold up as
well as it does in view or the heavy
movement and the estimated increase

in the production. They consider,

this an 'almm'eortclu «indexer. mo-
terlally higher prices later in . 
season. Although "the, rate reduc-

vewa. depressing ef-

 ’-  upon. the market. -. The quality

of Michigan ' potatoes is, generally

_ with some complaint of rot-
ting in the ground due to unseason-
ablo rains. Authentic reports from

New York state also speak of con- ‘

sides-able rot.

Last week Maine growers were
potatoes freely at $2.15@
8.25 per 165-lb. bag. Pennsylvania
farmers are looking for $1.50 spuds
and, reluctant to sell for less. The
general sentiment over the country
seems to be in favor of higher prices
and farmers who can afford to hold
are doing so.
We believe the general feeling
toward the potato situation is such
that the least let-up in the market-

ing movement, occasioned by bad

weather and the breaking up of

'roads, will be reflected in higher

prices. This change may be expect-
ed to come soon in November.

 

omens

As predicted some weeks ago in
these columns the short onion crop
has made for higher prices. The
size of the onions is unusually small
this year, according to reports from
nearly every state. Consequently
large sized ones are commanding a
premium. Michigan onions are sell-
ing on Detroit and Chicago markets
for from $3.50 to $4 per cwt., and
the prospects are for even higher
prices. The keeping quality of Mich-
igan onions are estimated to be ex-
cellent. The high prices now pre-
vailing in this country have encour-
aged the importation of large quan-
tities of Spanish onions, which will
likely prevent any fancy prices on
the domestic stock. However, there
is little likelihood of lower prices
and good chances of higher prices.

 

APPLE MABKETDULL

Despite the fact that the crop is
fifty per cent smaller than a year
ago, apples-are going to market in
such quantities that they cannpt be
readily absorbed and , prices are
lower. ~

The wise farmers will refuse to
sell sound apples at ‘any such ridic-

proper storage space it will certainly
pay him to hang onto ’em for awhile.

rates will no doubt cause an increas-
ed movement of hay as western
growers, will be able to compete in
eastern markets which will cause
prices to decline at least for ashort
time; in fact we do not expect to
see higher prices before the first of
1922. At Detroit Standard timothy
remains at $19@20 per ton with the
best grade $1 higher. No. 1 clover
is $14@15 per ton and No. 1 clover
mixed $15@16 per ton. Markets
outside the state are from $1 to $7
higher and are steady with supplies
increasing in size.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

Very little that would appeal to
the live tock producer is in sight at
this writing. The beginning of real
winter is drawing nearer, every day
and live 'stock growers are rushing
their stock to market to get in
ahead of the big receipts which al-
ways show up when the snow begins
to blow in the air. Last week's cat-
tle trade was a disappointment in all
markets, prices easing off, gradual-
ly, during the period from Monday
morning until Saturday night. East-
ern dressed beef markets we‘re dull
and slow, all the week and Chicago
marked them lower all along .the
line. Chicago got a record run of
cattle, last week but the average
quality sale was very low. Yearlings
again sold for $12 on Wednesday
but they soon lost their bloom and
it took high-grade cattle to bring
$10.50 on Saturday’s close. The
heaviest shrinkage in values was
noticeable among the steers selling
from $6.50 to $7.50, not bad look-
ers but only half done; many of the
last mentioned variety went over
unsold in Chicago nearly every day
last week. Stockers and feeders ad-
vanced sharply, early, last week but
the bulge did not last long and the
week’s close was no better than that
of the week before on» any kind;
common feeding cattle, odd colors
and of plain breeding, were dull and
10 to 20 cents per cwt. lower than
on the close of the week before.

All of the live stock markets of
the country were “sheepy” last
week. Chicago receiving 23,000
head more than for the week before.
A rotten break in prices struck the
market in the middle of the week
but a part ofthis was regained be-
fore tha close on Saturday. Mature
sheep were dull and lower, in the
middle of the week but reacted later
closing steady with the week before.
Yearlings and fat lambs took a
dizzy drop, showing a loss of nearly
$1 per cwt. at one time but, later,
rounding to and closing with a net
loss in price of about 50 cents per
cwt. from last week’s closing trade.
The season is practically over for
breeding ewes. An oversupply of
feeding lambs caused a break of 25
cents per cwt. in this department.

Live hogs had a bad time in Chi-
cago, last week but the close was
considerably better than the lowest
time. The best kinds were salable
for $8.40 on Saturday last but on
Monday prices again eased off. The
only influence that should be given
credit for saving the hog market
from a slump was the strong demand
from shippers. ’ More than 34,000
hogs were sent out during last week.
the largest number for‘ any week
since early in August. Some very
good hogs showed up in Chicago re~
ceipts but the large number of un-
dsrwsishts. distributed through ar-
rivals, put the week's average weight
at 232 or 6 pounds lighter than on .
the week before." The average hog

OUTSIDE your land, the tractor is the biggest single investment
you have. To get from it the highest efficiency with the least
expense for fuel, lubrication and a minimum of wearand tear is the
secret of economical operation.

The big factor is correct lubrication. Under working conditions the tem-
perature in the piston chambers is high and an oil is required that does

not change in body under high temperature. It is essential that you
have an oil of the correct viscosity to seal your piston chambers against
loss of power.
