Tllarketing Problems Viewed By County Agent

 

 

 

 

More Careful Study of Crop Statistics Will Help Farmer to Market Crops at Greater Profit

__ ' E ARE all concerned over the causes

responsible for the present agricul-
ural depression and possible ways to
avoid further loss. Farmers are constant-
ly groping for information that will give
them a guide to future market prices. This
problem confronts other industries as well
as the agricultural, but other industries,
particularly, manufacturers are better able
to control excessive production and much
better informed as to urgent demands. For
these reasons they have information which

farmers have not been able to get for the

d1stribution of their product.

Professor Warren in his new Bulletin
No. 999 says:

“After each of the .previous wars a very vi-
olent drop in prices occurred followed by par-
tial recovery and somewhat stable prices for
a year or more, than again followed by a long-
er but less violent drop and again followed by
a period of somewhat stable prices.”

Representative Anderson, Chairman of
the Congressional Joint Commission of Ag-
ricultural Inquiry, is quoted as ascribing
conditions primarily to fOur factors.

1. The falling off of exports. 2.
off of domestic consumption. 3.
freight rates. 4. Credit limitations.

These authorities give us some very good
general information. But along with it, I
believe that farmers should study crop re-
ports and insist upon getting actual know—
ledge of total production as compared With
fiVe and ten year averages. '

The U. S. Department through the Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates has endeavored to
gather this information for farmers. But
on account of the lack of co-operation and
apparent carelessness on the part of the in-
d1v1dual farmer together with the suspicion
on the part of the farmer that such infor—
matlon might be used against him, has
made it exceedingly difficult for the De—
partment of Agriculture to obtain .a crop
report as we would hope to have it. Hop-
ing that farmers may giVe more consistent
study to the total production for 1921 com-
pared with the five~year average from 1915

to 1919, I am giving the following table
which I wish all farmers and readers would
study.

The September report indicates that
the beans, potatoes, oats and hay crops are
short this year. The corn crop is above
the average.

Beans show approximately four and
one-half million bushels less than the av-
erage yield. During the year 1920 beans
were short approximately four million
bushels. This means that for the past two
seasons, 1920 and 1921 there has been two
short crops of beans which totals about
eight million and a half bushels less than
the average production. It is not possible
that the future prices for beans may be
much stronger than at present? Or, is it
possible that the consumption of this food
product has so materially fallen off that the
demand will not warrant higher prices?
In two years {the six bean growing states
have lost one complete crOp when com-
pared with the five-year average.

Later information shows that the pota-
to crop is about twenty million bushels
more than shown in September forecast.
Even this, makes it approximately 8 to 10
per cent less than the average crop for the
five-year period, during which time there
were two very short crops.

The above table shows that the oat crop

is three hundred million bushels short or
approximately 20 per cent short of the av-
erage yield. It is possible that this per-
centage Will be greater on account of the
quality of the oats which will aonly be de-
termined as they are actually sold. Is it
possible for a crop to be 20 per cent less
than the five—year average and market
prices on the same remain below normal?

Last year the wheat crop in twenty
wheat leading countries was 2,384,000,000
bushels. This year’s estimate is 2,461,000,-
000. The crop is reported as fair in the
United States, Canada, and Northern and
Central Europe. India and Russia will
probably have to import. European needs
are about the same as last year. The ex-
port situation is stronger than last year be-
cause Of better credits.

Summarizing the above information it
would appear that we are to be guided by
supplies available that wheat may remain
somewhat staple. Potatoes being approx-

-~imately 8 per cent short Of a five—year av-

erage and about 20 per cent short' of last
year, stronger prices may be expected. The
same situation would be true of beans and
oats where the crops are 20 to 30 per cent
short of a five-year average. We can also
expect hay prices to be stronger, if we
reason the same way, because the crop is
about 8 per cent less than the average. It
is doubtful that corn will show any great
strength. Indications are that this crop
will be fed to live stock in order to realize
very much out of it.

It is the purpose of the county agricul—
tural agent thru the co-operation Of the
farm management department and organ-
izations of Saginaw county and individual
farmers to assist in problems of this kind
and the plans will be made during the
winter months to take an inventory of ap-
proximately one hundred farms in order
that we may become more systematic in
the use of farm accounts, in order that ’
the operation of each farmer may be put
on the most efficient basis.

Michigan Will Make Bid for National Dairy ShOw in 1922

OR A long time it has been the dream
of Michigan dairymen to play host
some day to the National Dairy Show
which next to the InternatiOnal Livestock

Show brings together the'greatest aggrega—

tion of blooded cattle and producers of
any event staged in the United States.

There has been no chance of having this,

“the bringing of the National Dairy Show
to Detroit next year was instituted by the
Detroit City Farmers’ Club, in. co-opera-
tion with the agricultural division of the
Detroit Board of Commerce and the State
Fair management. Back of all these or-
ganizations are big men who have a habit
of having their own way about things and
who will leave no stone untugned to carry
out their ambition.

STRONG RESPONSE ALL OVER
STATE TO GRAIN APPEAL
PLENDID response is being made

from all parts of Michigan by

farmers to the grain appeal of
the State’s Grain Board made to
avert starvation in Armenia and
neighboring countries in the Near
Reports to the Near East Re—
in this city are
officials declare.
Several counties already have reach—

. ed their quotas, while others report

steady progress and send assuranc~

es that their work is resulting in the
certainty of going beyond the marks
set. »

Washtenaw county was the first
one in with a carload of wheat ship—
ped by H. S. Osler, the county secre-
tary, while Saginaw county was first
with a carload of corn, shipped in by
A. C-. Bovay, county agent. Luce
county was the first one in with a
carload of rye and potatoes. Wash-
ten-aw followed its first car of flour
in a few days with a second one.
These grain carloads are carried to
the seaboard. for shipment overseas,
by the Grand Trunk railroad, free of
charge.

Besides these receipts there have
been numerous contributions record-
ed from many other counties, includ-
ing Wayne, Lapeer, Tuscola, Muske-
gon, St. Clair, Macom‘b, Monroe, Mis-

saukee, Alpena, Baraga, Iosco, Cal-

houn, Leelanau, Ionia, Kalamazoo,
Oakland, Shiawassee and as this
story is being written, the first pay-
ment from Lenawee County is re-
ceived in the form of a check for
$1,500. _

The returns have been so gener-
ous and so wide-spread that success
of the whole campaign now appears
certain, provided there is no let—up
in the work being done so thorough-
ly up to this time. Michigan’s quota
is 100,000 bushels of wheat and
corn flour.

The recent shipment from Luce
county included 80 bushels of po-
tatoes which were sold at auction by
the United Fruit Auction Company
for Alfred Rush & Sons, Detroit
commission merchants, and the pro-
ceeds of the sale used to purchase
wheat and corn flour for shipment
to Constantinople. F. M. Baldwin,
of the auction company took occasion
to announce to the “cold-blooded
buyers” who were present for the
day’s sales, that the 80 bushels of

potatoes had been shipped all the
way from Luce county to be con-
tributed to the Emergency Grain
Board in the cause of Near East Re-
lief.

Realizing the humane work that
was to be done with the proceeds,

the buyers turned back their pur-‘

chases to be sold all over again. The

‘ result of the sale and re-sale amount-

ed to $265 cash. This amount and
the sale price of the rye also ship-
ped, resulted in Luce county contrib-
uting three times what it had been
called upon for.

Contributions include wheat, corn,
beans, rye, potatoes, fruit, chickens,
eggs, etc—everything raised from
farms. In one instance a farmer,
ever mindful of the great need of his
donation, gave a cow. It will be
sold at auction and the proceeds ap-
plied to the purchase of flour.

The results of these efforts in
Michigan and other states already
are being noted. A recent cablegram
from Tiflis reports that the steamer
“Datchet” has arrived with a. cargo
of 4,400 tons of corn products. So
great was the joy at its arrival that
even the Soviet labor union furnish—
ed laborers to help unload the wel-
come cargo.

ES INTEREST RATES

duced its interest rates on ad—
vances to banks for agricultural or
livestock purposes under Section 24
of the War Finance Corporation Act

McBRIDE IN WASHINGTON 0N
woon TARIFF ~

V HEN THE Senate Finance Com-
mittee began its hearings Nov-
ember 1 on the proposed wool

tariff, wool producers of some 18
middle west farm bureau wool pro—
ducing states were represented by
James N. McBride of Burton, Mich.,
who was sent there to press a pro—'
ducers' demand for a straight 30
cents a pound wool imports duty,
scoured basis, and elimination of the
present nullifying ad valorem feat-
ures of the tariff.

Mr. McBride’s dispatch to Wash-
ington arose out of a middle west
states wool producer’s indignation
meeting, called at Chicago last Au-
gust, just after the wool tarifi had
been sent to the Senate by the
House. ‘

'When the wool tariff went into
the house it is said to have provided
for a straight 25 cents a .pound duty
on wool, which was acceptable to
the farmers. The manufacturers
were and are now taken care of. In
committee an ad valorem rider was
attached to the bill which said that
no duty levied should exceed 35 per
cent of the market value of the wool,
a feature that reduced that 25 cents
a pound duty to about three to five
cents. This change, the wool pro-
ducers pointed out, wiped out any
protection for American wool produc-
ers against those countries where
sheep are pastured the year around.
The differences in exchange and oth-
er conditions more than wipe out
the three cent or five cent duty, say
the producers.

A meeting was called at Chicago
where a declaration was made for a
straight 30 cents a pound duty, and
elimination of the ad valorem feat—
ure of the bill. Mr. McBride was
also ordered to Washington to pre-
sent the producers’ case before the
Senate Finance Committee.

ANNUAL MEETING WILL DE-
TERMINE YEAR’S POLICY
HAT THE American Farm Bur-
eau Federation will accomplish
‘in 1922 will 'be determined at
Atlanta, Georgia, November 21-23 at
the third annual meeting of the or—
ganization.

Within the past twelve months
this national organization of farm—
ers has grown into one of the most
powerful forces in the United States.
It has completed its organization
work in 47 states; organized state
federation headquarters; establish—
ed a national headquarters in Chi-
cago and built up a legislative office
in Washington, D. C. The Farm
Bureau, at its annual meeting this
year will review the past year’s
work, but of far more importance
will be the outline of the program of
work that the Federation will under-
take during the next twelve months.

The Farm Bureau prides itself on,
representing the individual farmer.
Its actions, according to the officials
of the Federation, are determined
entirely by the wishes of its 1,300,-
000 members. The policies of the
organization are determined by del-
egates from each of the state feder—
ations. The number of delegates
from each state is determined by the
paid-up membership of that state fed-
eration. One voting delegate is al~
lowed for the state at large and one
for every 20,000 paid-up members.
These delegates constitute the Board
of Directors. In addition to the
Board of Directors there is a House
of Delegates made up of delegates
who have the privileges of the floor
but no vote. A state is allowed one
representative in the House of Del-
egates for every 10,000 farmers in

. the state.

Michigan Leads When it Comes to Potatoes

‘ . Peninsula Spuds Awarded Most of the Prizes at the St. Paul Potato Show

,HE SHOWING which Michigan Petos-

key Golden Russet potatoes made at the
International Potato Show, held at Duluth
on Oct. 26th, 28th, has proven a very pleasant
surprise to the potato growing interests of
Michigan: and quite a decided surprise to
other potato growing interests outside of the
state.

Through the co-operation of the Michigan
Potato "Growers Exchange and the seed dept.
of the Michigan State Farm Bureau, Mr. B.
B. Jewell, County Ag’l Agent, Cheboygan
county, was sent to the International Potato
Show at Duluth with an exhibition of Michi-
gan potatoes selected principally from the
great potato growing areas of Antrim, Char-
levoix, Emmet, Presque Isle and Cheboygan
counties. Since the Michigan growers have
very thoroughly standardized their crop to
one variety the entire exhibition consisted of
entries in all classes possible for this Rural
Russet, or better known as Petoskey Guldnn
Russet. This however, did not exclude Mich-
igan potatoes from competing in all open com-
petitions where variety was not a factor and
the fact is that the Michigan exhibit, through
careful selection by county agricultural agents
and expert experience in exhibiting on the
part of Mr. Jewell, won practically, every-
thing in Which they were competing.

The International Championship Ass’n dis-
play, which consisted of 12 samples—each sam-
ple exhibited by a separate grower and con-
sisting of 32 potatoes each,——was won by the
Wolverine Co-operative Marketing Ass’n., of
Cheboygan county, while second prize went
to the Yellowstone Growers Ass’n., of“ Syd-
ney, Montana. The third prize went to the

Farmers’ Commission Company Gets Business in Western Markets

ROWTH IN the volume of business

transacted by the Central Co—operative
Commission Association, a farmer—owned and
controlled live stock commission company set
up by the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federa-
tion at the So. St. Paul, Minn, stock yards,
establishes a record never before approached
in the history of live stock marketing, accord-
ing to Manager W. A. McKerrow, a member
of the Farmers’ Live Stock Marketing Com-
mittee of 15. Since its establishment the
farmers’ company has rapidly jumped into
the lead and iS‘TIOW doing nearly 20 per cent
of all the business at the St. Paul yards.

Out of 194,450 head of live stock handled
on the So. St. Paul markets from Aug. 8 to
Sept. 1, the Central Co—operative Commission
Association handled 28,012 or more than 14
per cent of the total. The next largest com-
mission company handled 14,000 head, and
the third largest 11,824 head. From Sept. 1
to Sept. 23, a total of 164,300 head of live
stock were handled on the St. Paul market;
of this number the Central Co—operative Com—
mission handled 32,143, or 19 1-2 per cent.
The second largest of the commission compan-
ies handled 10,307 head, and the third largest
8,969 head. On many days the farmers’
company handled from 25 to 29 per cent of
the business. All departments of the farmers’
company find themselves able to procure the
very best prices on all classes of stock. A
. car-load of 1100 p.0und‘8teers and heifers were
i sold for $9.00 per cwt., the t0p of the market.
The growth of the farmers’ company is well
shown by the fact. that during the first week

Markets Dept. of the Washoe County Farm
Bureau of Reno, Nevada, and the fourth to
the Meadowland Potato Assn, Meadowland,
Minn. In this case the Golden Russet won
easily over all other varieties and from all
other states.

In this contest a purse of $250 was distrib—
uted according to the score to the four highest
winners together with the Ass’n loving cup
to the highest. This was a beautiful silver
cup which will be a credit to any potato
growers organization. The fact that Michi-
gan won this prize with the Petoskey Golden
Russet over all other competing varieties ex-
cited considerable discussion at the Exposi-
tion and won the favor of many of the grow-
ers of other varieties in other states for the
Golden Russet.

In the one peck exhibition of Rural Russets
ten prizes were offered by the Ass’n, and all
these prizes except the 7th were won by
Michigan exhibitions, the 7th going to a New
York farmer. The first prize of this exhibi-
tion was awarded to Mr. Lee Sneathen of
Charlevoix county and the second prize went
to J. Fred Brody of Cheboygan county while
the third prize to E. Sutton, Central Lake,
Antrim county.

In the 100 lb. exhibit of seed potatoes for
seed plot purposes with all varieties compet-
ing, Michigan won second and fifth, the sec-
ond prize going to J. Fred Brody of Charle-
voix county and the fifth to Gladden & Sons
at Alba. Competition in this class was very

consigned t6 the co-operative commission
house.

The Central Co-operative Commission As—
sociatiOn opened its offices on August 8. The
organization has as members 300 live stock
shipping associations in Minnesota, Wisconsin
and the Dakotas. It has been doing business
with a 25 per cent reduction in commission
charges and has been laying up a surplus of
20 per cent. This year’s business will repre-
sent a saving of $70,000 to the shippers in
(oniparison with the commissions usually
charged.

Manager McKerrow is urging farmers to or-
ganize and support their local live stock ship-
ping associations and to pay the managers
what they "are worth. He predicts that the
time will soon arrive when most of the live
stock marks ' g of the country will be done
by co-oper 1ve shipping and marketing asso-
elations.

Grange Annual Next Month

HE FORTY-eighth annual session of

the Michigan State Grange will be held

at Flint from Tuesday to Friday, December
13-16th. Headquarters will be at the mag-
nificent new Hotel Durant. Railroad rates
will be at one and onethird of the regular
round-trip fare from all parts of the state.
The session will be opened by welcoming
addresses by the secretary of the Flint- Cham-
ber of Commerce and others. Wednesday
evening will occur the annual banquet and

heavy and due to the bulk of the exhibition
Michigan growers had very few samples exhib-
ited. The first prize went to Russet Burbank
potatoes and was awarded to Will Miller of
Raby, Minnesota.

In connection with the above prizes the
sample exhibited by Mr. Lee Sneathen of Char-
levoix county also won a $25 prize for being
the best peek of any variety of potatoes ex-
hibited from outside of Minnesota. In this
exhibition competition was also very keen
and the Michigan potato growing industries
can consider themselves fortunate in having
the Golden Russet win in this contest and
also in having the prize come to a Michigan
grower.

The judging of exhibitions at the Potato
Show was in the hands of C. L. Fitch, Ex-
tension Prof. of Vegetables, Ames, Iowa;
Charles Brown, Potato Authority in Minne—
sota; and J. G. ll'lilward, Extension Horticul-
turist, Madison, Wis.

The winning of these prizes will carry with
it the confidence of a great many potato
growers who are users of northern grown
seed and this success should be considered as
an especially fortunate achievement due to
the fact that Michigan has not heretofore been
considered one of the principal potato seed
producing states.

Continuing the program advertising
Michigan seed potatoes in the other states,
the prize winning exhibitions from the Inter-
national Potato Show and other exhibitions of
certified seed will be taken to the Farmers’
Week and Winter Round-up of several of the
corn belt states.

Thursday and Friday will be given to con—
sideration of reports of committees. Thurs-

$2.41 Nov.-Dec. Milk Price *

T TOOK two anxious sessions of the .

board of directors of the Michigan Milk
Producers’ Ass’n to determine upon the milk
price for the Detroit area for the months of '
November and December. As stated last '
week the distributors wanted the producers
to accept $2.31 with'a surplus clause, which
the producers refused, holding out for $2.51, _
without the surplus clause. At the second
conference between the board and the dis-
tributors a compromise was eifected, and the
price agreed upon for-November and Decem-
ber was $2.41, the distributors to take all the -
surplus. Under the circumstances it is felt 
that the Producers’ Ass’n did well to secure it.
even this price for its members, and there" is
no doubt but what it will compare favorably :;
with the prices paid in most of the ,.other‘cOm4“~ -.

Both in the Same Boat

, HE EDITOR of a. paper published in

Chicago comments as follows upon a. let-

ter written to him by a northwestern farmer
dcploring the present plight of the farmer:

“The impairment of the farmer’s purchasing
power does not disturb me any more than the
impairment of the laborer’s purchasing power.
We cannot have prosperity if the farmer has to
pay high prices for goods which he purchases
with low priced production. True. But, vice
versa, the farmer will not be prosperous if the
fellows who must buy his products haven’t the
money to pay high prices. It’s fifty-fifty all
around and the farmer is suffering no worse, in
tact, infinitely less than the laboring man. who
has been reduced to the point in some cases where
he can’t figure out where his winter’s meals and
warmth are to come from. Please send me a.
picture of the first northwestern farmer you
learn of who dies from starvation.”

If our friend had been in a more sympathet-
ic frame of mind he wouldn’t have compared
the farmer with the laboring man. For the
farmer has capital invested; the laborer has
not. Had he put the farmer up alongside
any other class the comparison would have told
an altogether different story. It is not the
farmer’s fault that labor is out of a job. The
laboring man will suffer, but he will not go
hungry. We have never yet let a man starve
to death in this country. For the laborer
this period of depression means being out of
a job for a few months at the worst. For the
farmer it means the mortgaging of his future.
We have all sorts of sympathy for the man
who is out of work and a family to food. The
farmer should. indeed, be grateful that he has
a roof above his head and does not worry
about where his next meal is coming from.
But at the same time he is entitled to compas-
sion for he has suffered more than any other
class of people, bar npne.

Cancer

ACK IN the old biblical. days the fear of

leprosy was greater than the fear of God.
Now it is cancer, the very mention of which
almost causes one to shudder and be afraid.
Cancer is not contagious as was leprosy or
are the dreaded so-callcd “social” diseases,
but it is fully as deadly and far more preva—
lent. Ono out of every ten men over 40 years
of age who dies is a cancer victim, while the
ratio with women is one out of eight. About
three thousand people die each year in Mich-
igan alone from cancer. Much of this fatality
is unavoidable; most of it is. When taken in
its progress at
least arrested. But beyond a certain point all
the science of the world cannot save the suf-
ferer. Last week Michigan observed “cancer

all other serious diseases are very prOnounced.

      

Within a few hours after the disease is con--

tracted 'the patient usually knows what is the
trouble. But not so with cancer. It may
manifest itself as mere indigestion, or a pain
in the abdominal region such as the patient
may often have experienced, or in a surface
lump which may be so tiny as to scarcely be
noticeable. The only sure way for anyone
who suffers chronically in the above respects
is to consult a competent doctor who as a rule
can detect the true symptoms of cancer if
they actually exist. Relieve your mind of
one thing. Cancer is neither hereditary nor
contagious.

Mr. Brown
EET MR. BROWN. He is President
Harding’s efficiency expert, chairman

of the congressional reorganization commission
which is charged with the duty of making
certain reforms in the machinery and
functions of the Department of Agriculture
and the Federal Trade Commission.
these bodies are the “bolsheviki” among the
innumerable departments and bureaus of the
national government. Consequently they have
become most unpopular with certain powerful
interests who would like nothing better than
to have their claws clipped and their powers
curtailed.

But instead of proceeding in a diplomatic
fashion, Mr. Brown “spilled the beans” the
very first thing. Speaking before a gather-
ing of farmers’ rcprcsmitatives at VVashing-
ton, Mr. Brown “stressed the overlapping na-
ture of certain duties in connection with the
Department of Commerce and of State in
connection with foreign trade; and with this
as a foundation he then argued the case of the
Department'of Agriculture and the Depart-
ment of Commerce, and stated his belief that
the functions of the Department of Agricul-
ture should be confined to those of production.

‘His feeling was that when it came to matters

like selling farm products that proper juris-
diction should lic in the Department of Com-
mcrcc”.

His suggestion was about as welcome to the
farmers’ representatives as a flock of bees at
a picnic. He was gently reminded that such
a change would place the marketing of farm
products in the hands of powerful business
influences that had been consistent opponents
of agricultural co—operation. He was politely
informed that the farmers would never stand
for such a “reform”. - V

The forces of reaction are trying desperate-
ly hard to return to power at Washington.
They have sconcd some victories, but so long
as the farmers are represented by their pres-
ent organizations at the capitol, city, it is safe
to say that Mr. Brown will have a hard job
crippling the Department of Agriculture and
the Federal Trade Commission.

“In the Service of Those Who Suffer”

UCH IS the mission and the record of the

American Red Cross. When war lays its
cruel hand upon a people the Red Cross
comes, administers to the dying, binds up the
wounds of the suffering, feeds and clothes and
comforts {the fathcrlcss. “Then the flood
breaks from its prison and rushes down into
peaceful valleys swallowing all before its
path, it is the Red Cross that is the first upon
the scene to search for the dead and bring
the half-dead back to life. No matter what
the calamity, fire, earthquake, pestilence or
famine, the Red Cross nurse is there imperil-
ing her own life perhaps to ease the suffer-
ings of others. The American people must
stand by the Red Cross as the Red Cross has
stood by them in their every hour of trouble.
Every American citizen should be a member
of the Red Cross and help to support it. The
chancento join comes every year at the time
of the Red Cross Roll Call. Membership fee
is one dollar per year. The fifth annual roll
call opened Nov. 11th and will continue until
Nov. 24th. Be sure your name is there
“when the roll is called”. '

are lucky to have someone at their rein to

to blow he often loses his head and does a lot
of foolish things which at other times he
would never think of doing. Cold and bitter
are the winds of misfortune which are blow-
ing today. As the wintry gales shriekrabout
the unprotected farm house, so do the winds
of the business world beat down upon the
farming industry, frightening men and de-
stroying their judgment. Now if ever men
must keep their heads level. Falling prices
are discouraging and fill the holder of pro-
ducts with alarm lest they drop to further
levels. But the dumping of products on the
market only further disturbs the equilibrium
of business and sets loose new and fiercer
currents. Fall is the time of the Great Har-
vest. Fall is the time of falling prices. In
only the most exceptional years have prices
for farm products advanced during the great
fall marketing season. It is their nature to
decline and they will decline this year as in

Beware of False Gods

T SEEMS HARDLY necessary to assure

our readers that the cooperative society
which failed recently in Chicago with liabil-
ities of about 15 million dollars was in no
sense of the word a “farmers’ co-operative”
concern. And in only a slight sense of the
word was it even “co-operative”. In fact,
we are told that it was in reality a common
trust corporation and the only co-operative
feature, was the distribution of profits which
were never earned. Evidence brought out in
the court proceedings showed that the pro-
moters were not co—operators at heart. If
they did not actually promote the proposition
to defraud, they were at least mighty poor
business men whose integrity is open to ques-
tion. A lot of people are preaching “co—op-
eration” nowadays who don’t know the
meaning of the term. And there are very
definite limits to the field in which coopera-
tion can be successfully practised. Co-opera-
tion will isolve a. lot of problems, but‘not all
of them by a lOng shot. When anyone
danglcs co-operative bait before you, investi-

gate a long time before you bite.

Foch Sets Example

HEN THE French general, Fich, ar-

rived in this country a few days ago
he made it known that he wogldvpartake of
no wines or other alcoholic drinks in defiance
of the laws of the country. This spirit of
obediency to law is in striking contrast with '
the spirit of another great general, an Amer-
ican, whom ’tis said on good authority, totes
his whiskey with him wherever he goes, rely-
ing upon his uniform and prestige to protect
him from arrest. Foch’s example should set
to shame the thousands of people who call
themselves good American citizens but who
are both secretly and openly flaunting the
prohibition law and seeking to make it an ob-
ject of scorn and ridicule. For _Whatever
else we may be grateful to Marshal Foch for,
a vast army of American people will remem-
ber always that he respected our la'ws. ‘

. fwontimwd Minuet-week) _‘
- " CHAPTER SIX .

T'IS doubtful whether in the few
moments that followed, any clear:
cut mental argument passed thru
Neewa's head. It is too much to sup-
pose that he deliberately set about
assisting, the half—dead and almost
unconscious Miki from his precari—
ous position. His sole ambition was
to get himself where it was‘ safe and
dry, and to do this he of necessity
had to drag the pup with him. So
Neewa tugged at the end of his rope,

digging his sharp little claws into the '

driftwood, and as he. advanced Miki
was dragged up head foremost out
of the cold and friendless stream. It
was a simple process. Neewa reach-
ed a log around which the water was
eddying, and there he flattened him-
self down and hung on as he had
never hung to anything else in his
life. The log was entirely hidden
from shore by a dense growth of
brushwood. Otherwise, ten minutes
later Challoner would have seen
them.
As it was Miki had not sufficiently
recovered either to smell or hear his
‘ master when Challoner came to see

if there was a possibility of his
small comrade being alive. And
Neewa only hugged the log more

tightly. He had seen enough of the
man-beast to last him for the re-
mainder of his life. It was half an
hour before Miki began to gasp and
cough, and gulp up water, and for
the first time since their scrap in the
canoe the cub began to take a live
interest in him. In another ten min-
utes Miki raised his head and look-
ed about him. At that Neewa gave
a tug on the rope, as if to advise him
that it was time to get busy if they
were expected to reach shore. And
Miki, drenched and forlorn, resemb-
ling more a starved bone than a thing
of skin and flesh, actually made an
effort to wag his tail when he saw
Neewa. ~-
He'was still in a couple of inches
of water, and with a hopeful eye on
the log upon which Neewa was
squatted he began to work his wob-
bly legs toward it. It was a high
log, and a dry log, and when Miki
reached it his unluckly star was with
him again. Cumbrously he sprawled
himself against it, and as he scram-
bled and scraped with his four awk-
ward legs to get up alongside Nee—
wa he gave to the log the slight push
which it needed to set it free of the
sunken driftage. Slowly at first the
eddying current carried one end of
the log away from its pier. Then
the edge of the main current caught
at it, viciously—and so suddenly that
Miki almost lost his precarious foot-
ing, the log gave a twist, righted it-
self, and began to send down stream
at a speed that would have made
Challoner hug his breath had he
been in their position with his faith-
ful canoe. 3
In fact, Challoner was at this very
moment portaging the rapids below
the waterfall. To have set his canoe
in them where Miki and Neewa
were gloriously sailing he would
have considered an inexcusable haz-
ard, and as a matter of safety he
was losing the better part of a
couple of hours by packing his out-
fit through the forest to a point half
a mile below. That half mile was
to the cub and the pup a show which
was destined to live in their memor—
ies for as long as they were alive.
They were facing each other about
amidships of the log, Neewa flatten-
ed-tight, his sharp claws dug in like
hooks, and his little brown eyes half
starting from his head. It would
have taken a crowbar to wrench him
from the log. But with Miki it was
an open question from the beginning
whether he would weather the storm.
He .had no claws that he could dig
into the wood, and it was impossible
for him to use his clumsy legs as
Neewa used his—like two pairs of
human arms. All he could do was
.to balance himself, slipping this way
or that as the log rolled or swerved
in its course, sometimes lying across
it . and ’ sometimes lengthwise, and
every; moment With the jaws .of un-
- certaintyf‘open wide for him. Nee-

for understanding that his own per-
sonal safety depended not so much
upon his claws and his hug as upon
Miki’s seamanship. If Miki went
overboard there would be left but
one thing for him to do—and that
would be to follow.

The log, being larger and heavier
at one end than at the other, swept
on without turning broadside and
with a swiftness and appearance of a
huge torpedo. While Neewa’s back
was turned toward the horror of
frothing water and roaring rock be-
hind him, Miki, who was facing it,
lost none of its spectacular beauty.
Now and then the log shot into one
of the white masses of foam and for
an instant or two would utterly dis-
appear; and at these intervals Miki
would hold his breath and close his
eyes while Neewa dug his toes in
still deeper. Once the log grazed a
rock. Six inches more and they
would have been without a ship.
Their trip was not half over before
both cu'b and pup looked like two
round balls of lather out of which
their eyes peered wildly.

Swiftly the roar of the cataract
was left behind; the huge rocks
around which the current boiled and
twisted with a ferocious snarling be—
came fewer; there came open spaces
in which the log floated smoothly
and without convulsions, and then,
at last, the quiet and placid flow of
calm water. Not until then did the
two balls of suds make a move. For
the first time Neewa saw the whole
of the thing they had passed thru,
and Miki looking down stream, saw
the quiet shores again, the deep for-

est, and the stream aglow with the/

warm sun. He drew in a breath
that filled his whole body and let
it out again with a sigh of relief so
deep and sincerel‘that it blew out 'a
scatter of foam from the ends of his
nose and whiskers. For the first
time he became conscious of his own
discomfort.- One of his hind legs
was twisted under him, and a fore-
leg was under his chest. The smooth-
ness of the water and the nearness
of the shores gave him confidence,
and he proceeded to straighten him-
self. Unlike Neewa he was an ex-
perienced voyageur. For more than
a month he had travelled steadily
with Challoner in his canoe, and of
ordinarily decent water he was un-
afraid. So he perked up a little, and
offered Neewa a congratulatory yip
that was half a whine.

But Neewa’s education had travel-

. gone.

ed along another line, and while his
experience in a canoe had been con-
fined to that day he did know what
a log was. He knew from more than
one adventure of his own that a
log in the water is the next thing to
a live thing, and that its capacity
for playing evil jokes was beyond
any computation that he had ever
been able to make. That was where
Miki’s store of knowledge was fatal—
ly defective. Inasmuch as the log
had carried them safely through the
worst stretch of water he had ever
seen he regarded it in the light of a
first class canoe—with the excep-
tion that it was unpleasantly round—
ed on top. But this little defect did
not worry him. To Neewa’s horror
he sat up boldly and looked about
him.

Instinctively the cub hugged the
log still closer, while Miki was seized
with an overwhelming desire to
shake from himself the mass of
suds in which, with the exception of
the end of his tail and his eyes, he
was completely swathed. He had
often shaken himself in the canoe;
why not here? Without either ask—
ing or answering the question he
did it.

Like the trap of a gibbet sudden-
ly sprung by the hangman, the log
instantly responded by turning half
over. Without so much as a wail
Miki was off like a shot, hit the wa-
ter with a deep and solemn chug,
and once more disappeared as com-
pletely as if he had been made of
lead.

Find' g himself completely sub-
merg for the first time, Neewa
on gloriously, and when the
log righted itself again he was ten—
aciously hugging his old place, all
the froth washed from him. He
looked for Miki—but Miki was
And then he felt once more
that choking drag on his neck! Of
necessity, because his head was pull-
ed in the direction of the rope, he
saw where the rope disappeared in
the water. But there was no Miki.
The pup was down too far for Neewa
to see. With the drag growing heav—
ier and heavier—~for here there was
not much current to help Miki along
——Neewa hung on like grim death.
If he had let go, and had joined Mi-
ki in the water, the good fortune
which was turning their way would
have been missed. For Miki, strug-
gling well under water, was serving
both as an anchor and a rudder;
slowly the log shifted its course, was

caught in a beach-eddy, and drifted

in close to a muddy bank.

With one wild leap Neewa was
ashore. Feeling the earth under his
feet he started to run, and the re-
sult was that Miki came up slowly
through the mire and spread himself
out like an overgrown crustacean
while he got the wind back into his
lungs. Neewa, sensing the fact that
for a few moments his comrade was
physically unfit for travel, shook
'himself, and waited. Miki picked
up quickly. Within five minutes he
was on his feet shaking himself so
furiously that Neewa became the
center of a shower of mud and water.

Had they remained where they
were, Challoner would have found
them an hour or so later, for he pad-
dled that way, close inshore, looking
for their bodies. It may be that the
countless generations of instinct
back of Neewa warned him of that
possibility, for within a quarter of
an hour after they had landed he was
leading the way into the forest, and
Miki was following. It was a new
adventure for the pup.

But Neewa began to recover his
good cheer. For him the forest was
home even if his mother was missing.
After his maddening experiences
with Miki and the man—beast the vel-
Vety touch of the soft pine needles
under his feet and the familiar
smells of the silent places filled him
with a growing joy. He was back
in his old trails. He sniffed the air
and pricked up his ears, thrilled by
the enlivening sensations of know—
ing that he was once more the small
master of his own destiny. It was
a new forest, but Neewa was undis-
turbed by this fact. All forests
were alike to him, inasmuch as sev—
eral hundred thousand square miles
were included in his domain and it
was impossible for him to landmark
them all.

With Miki it was different. He
not only began to miss Challoner and
the river but became more and more
disturbed the farther Neewa led him
into the dark and mysterious depths
of the timber. At last he decided to
set up a vigorous protest, and in line
with this decision he braced himself
so suddenly that Neewa, coming to
the end of the rope, flopped over on
his back with an astonished grunt.
Seizing his advantage Miki turned,
and tugging with the horse—like en-
ergy of his Mackenzie father he
started back toward the river, drag—
ging Neewa after him for a space of
ten or fifteen feet before the cub suc-
ceeded in regaining his feet.

Then the battle began. With their
bottoms braced and their forefeet
digging into the soft earth, they pull—
ed on the rope in opposite directions
until their necks stretched and their
eyes began to pop. Neewa’s pull was
steady and unexcited, while Miki,
dog—like, yanked and convulsed him-
self in sudden backward jerks that
made Neewa give way an inch at a.
time. It was, after all, only a ques-
tion as to which possessed the most
enduring neck. Under Neewa’s fat
there was as yet little real physical
strength. Miki had him handicap—
ped there. Under the pup’s loose
hide and his overgrown bones there
was a lot of pull, and after bracing
himself heroically for another doz-
en feet Neewa gave up the contest
and followed in the direction chosen
by Miki.

While the instincts of Neewa’s
breed would have taken him back to
the river as straight as a die, Miki’s
intentions were better than was his
sense of orientation. Neewa follow—
ed in a sweeter temper when he
found that his companion was mak-
ing an unreasonable circle which was
taking them allittle more slowly, but
just as surely, away from the dang-
er ridden stream. At the end of an-
other quarter of an hour Miki was
utterly lost; he sat down on his rump
looked at Neewa, and confessed as
much—with a low whine. '

Needwa did not move. His sharp
little eyes were fixed suddenly on an
object that hung to a low bush half
a dozen paces from them. Before
the man-beast’s appearance the cub
had spent three—quarters of his time
in eating, but since yesterday morn-,
ing he had not swallowed so much
as a bug. He wascompletelyempty, j
and the object he saw hanging'te

ry as

the bush set every saliva

ANNUAL MEETING WILL BE-
TERMINE YEAR’S POLICY
(Continued from page 2)

cial and political world will be cen-
tered on the annual meeting.

In the review of the Federation’s
work in 1920 particular interest will
be attached to the report of Gray
Silver, who is in charge of the Wash—
ington office. The present congress
has to its credit more agricultural
legislation than any other in a like
period since the first congress con-
vened in the Old State House at Phil-
adelphia. This agricultural legisla-
tion has been passed largely at the
insistence of the Farm Bureau.
Among the more important measures
to which the Farm Bureau points
are:

1. The packer and stock yards
control measure.

2. Regulation of grain exchang-
es and future trading in grain.

3. Extension of War Finance
Corporation’s powers to lend $1,-
000,000.000 to farmers and co—oper-
ative associations.

4. Increasing the rate of inter-
est on Federal Farm Loan bonds
from 5 to 5 1—2 per cent.

5. Increasing by $25,000 the
working capital of the Federal Farm
Loan System.

6. Limiting immigration to 2 per
cent of the foreign born residents in
this country as recorded in the 1910
census.

7. Emergency tariff.

J. W. Coverdale, secretary of the
Federation. who has charge of the
Department of Organization, will in-
clude in his report, not only an ac—
count of the organization of federa—
tions in 47 states, but also the re-
ports of the eight departments hous-
ed in the Chicago office of the or-
ganization.

The report of the Department of
Co—operative Marketing will tell how
the commodity marketing idea has
been developed by the Farm Bureau,
will tell of the six commodity meet-
ings held during the year and of the
appointment of expert committees to
work on the problem of marketing
of each of these commodities. It will
tell in detail the work of the Farm—
ers’ Grain Marketing Committee of
17 and its plan which grew into the
U. S. Grain Growers, Inc. It will
also tell of the establishment, with
in the Federation of divisions of
Wool Marketing, Dairy Marketing
and Grain Marketing. It will tell of
the plans for the immediate creation
of divisions of Fruit Marketing, Live
Stock Marketing and Cotton Mar-
keting.

Outstanding in the report of the
Department of Transportation will
be the story of its intervention in
the grain rate case, which resulted
in the recent cut of $40,000,000 in
grain rates, a reduction of $10,000,-
000 in live stock rates, and of its
activity in securing a rate reduction
on all basic commodities. '

There will be reports from the De—
partment of Finance. the Legal De-
partment, the Department of Re-
gsearch and the Department of In-
formation.

The annual meeting at Atlanta is
of deep significance to the entire na—
tion. The farmers all over the coun-
try have been in a sad economic
plight. Their condition has resulted
in a business stagnation that has
paralyzed the world. The Farm
Bureau, the farmers' own organ za-
tion, offers promise of solving t ese
economic problems. It has accom-
plished much within the last twelve
months. Whether or not it will ac—
complish anything the next twelve
months will be up to the delegates
who attend the meeting at Atlanta,
November 21-23.

POTATO PRODUCERS CO-OPERF
ATE 0N MILLION DOLLAR/
SALE ‘ ‘ .
HE “DEFLATION” of the potat
market during the past season
has led to the formation of the
Empire State Potato Growers’ Asso-
ciation, composed of 31 local co-op-
erative marketing associations thru-
out the state of New York. The
state association will sell co-opera-
tively the potato and cabbage crops
produced by the members of these
local associations, which will total

 

at least 2,000 carloads for the sea-

Theaim of the Empire State Pota-

to Growers’ Association is not only
to secure a better return to the farm-
ers by grading their product and
preventing low price fixing by com-
bines of buyers at [shipping points,
but also to improve quality and low-
er the price to the consumer, who
will profit by grading and standard-
ization and the elimination of use-
less middlemen and speculators. In
the words of the secretary of the new
Association: “More and more of our
farmers are beginning to realize that
we have, as a class, been putting in
too many hours a year on the pro-
duction and of our business, and far
too few hours time on the marketing

 

AGSTORY OF TWO COWS

A West Virginia cow-testing n.3-
soclatlon kept records on two
cows. One was a scrub. the other
a high grade. And this is the
story which the records told:

Income from

end.” The Association is managed

by a board of 9 directors, elected an-
nually by the local associations, each
of which has-one vote. Its method
of operation is similar to that of the
Dairymen’s League of New York and
the Michigan Potato Growers Asso-
ciation.

Up in North Dakota the potato
growers are working out a similar
plan. The North Dakota Potato
Growers’ Exchange was organized a
year ago to secure fair prices and
honest grades for the growers, and
met with such success that its mom--
hers have now signed up three-year
contracts for the marketing of their
entire crop through the Exchange.
The sale will rbe handled the same
as last year, in co-operation with the
Minnesota Potato Exchange, a well-
established producers’ organization
in the neighboring state.

 

\VINTER SHORT COURSES AT
M. A. C.
HE FIRST of the winter short
courses at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College opened Monday.
October 31 with an enrollment of
87, with more coming every day.
This enrollment is below the corres—
ponding enrollment of last year a lit-
tle bit. The reason for the falling
off is given as the general tightness
of the money situation. Two new
tractor courses are being added this
Winter. These courses have been es—
pecially popular for the past few
years and the demand has brought
about introduction of these courses.
The first of these tractor courses
starts about December 1.

A two-weeks course in dairy barn
management and cow testing will
open Dec. 5th.——-C. E. Johnson, M. A.

PAIGN IN wow 00.

ATURDAY, Nov. 5th. was the
closing day of the Milk and Al—
, falfa Campaign in Allegan coun-
ty which has been going on since
Thursday, Oct. 26th. The exten-
sion department of the M. A. C. car
ried on the campaign for to create
a greater interest in alfalfa, better
dairying, better animals and improv-
ed dairying methods in Allegan coun-
ty. All those taking part in the
campaign report very strong inter-
est was shown and it was considered
one of the most successful extension
campaigns put on by the agricultural
college.

The farm crops department of the
M. A. C. was represented by Prof. J.
F. Cox, R. C. Megee, D. F. Rainey
and H. C. Rapher, extension special-
ist. C. W. Nicholson of the State
Farm Bureau seed department was
also there Thursday and Friday, the
27th and 28th. Prof. O. E. Read,
head of M. A. '0. dairy department,
J. A. Waldron, extension specialist,
and A. C. Bal-tzer had charge of the
dairy end of the campaign. The
home economics department of the
college was represented by ,Mrs.
Louise H. Campbell and Miss Mariel
Hopkins. The ladies spoke on the
food value of milk, emphasizing its
value for growing children.

County Agent Bentall, in co—opcr-
ation with the local groups in the
county, arranged for the meetings of
which there were four held each day.
At these meetings representatives of
both the farm crops and dairy de-
partments of the college gave prac-
tical demonstrations and talks about
the value of alfalfa, better dairy an-
imals and more efficient methods of
milk production.

Those speaking about alfalfa em-
phasized the value in feeding ra-
tions, greater yielding ability and its
value as a soil builder. Points men—
tioned regarding the production of
this crop were: Well drained and
firm seed—bed, the use of lime or
marrow, the adaptation of the seed
and the using of northern grown,
hardy seed, especially the Grimm
variety. The seed of alfalfa in the
county was well shown. Alfalfa
which has been grown by farmers in
that section has yielded well while
the other hay crops have failed this
year.

A number of bull associations and
cow—testing associations will be or—
ganized in the near future. Enough
cows for two additional cow—testing
associations were secured during the
campaign. In one community four
scrub bulls were exchanged for pure-
bred sires.

The day meetings averaged 12 in
attendance at each one and the
night round-up meetings . drew
crowds of 104 each evening. The
total number of people reached by
the campaign workers was estimated
at better than 2,000. Great interest
was shown in the practical demon-
strations and charts which the ex—
tension men brought with them.

Meetings were held as follows:
Wednesday. Oct. 27th. Moline;
Thursday, Wayland; Friday, Martin;
Saturday, Plainwell; Monday, Nov.
1, Pullman; Tuesday, Fennville;

DISTANCE CHILD MUST WALK TO
SCHOOL

How far does the law compel children to

walk to school in the state of Michigan,

and can the school boards set the price

on what they will pay for hauling them?

-——A_ C. S., Mio, Michigan.
The compulsory attendance law
provides that children under nine

years of age who reside more than
two and one—half miles from the
school house by the nearest traveled
road are exempt from attendance in
school. No other statement is made
in the school law in regard to the
distance children can be compelled
to walk to school.

V The school board has the right to
pay for the transportation of pupils
to school. It also has the right to
set the price for the transportation.
Usually the school board receives
bids on different routes for trans—
portation but reserves the right to
reject any or all of them.——T. E.
Johnson, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Lansing, Michigan.

 

WRONG T0 PICK OVERHANGING
FRUIT

As we are having a discussion in our
class over “Resolved, that it is wrong to
pluck fruit from branches overhanging
highway," will you please send me an
answer to this question?—~Miss T. P...
Genesec County, Michigan.

The fruit upon trees overhanging
a highway belongs absolutely to the
adjoining proprietor, the same as if
he planted potatoes or corn or beans
or any crop within the highway lim-
its. It would be morally wrong and
legally wrong for any one to appro-
priate such product to his own use
without the consent and agreement
of the owner. This applies to fruit,
nuts, crops, flowers or any product.
The public have the right to use of
the road for travel but the owner has
title to the middle of the road and
' can use the same for such purposes
1 as do not conflict with the public
: easement.——Le-gal Editor.

 

SYMPTOMS OF TUBERCULOSIS

As someone has very well writ-

losis during its early stages is

What the Neighbors Say

 

 

THAT TROUBLESOME BEAN PICK

HEN THE farmers take their
. beans to market to sell they
‘ ‘take a pick out of them, what-
ever it may be, and charge the farm-
er '7 or 8 cents per pound for pick-
ing. Then they keep the cull beans
and sell them back to the farmers for
from $18 to $20 per ton. They pay
the farmer on a hand—picked basis
for what is left. Now I want to know
how they have got any right to those
beans they pickiout. They haven’t
paid the farmer a red cent for them.

A neighbor took his beans to town
a few days ago. They picked 12
pounds to the bushel. He would not
stand for any such a pick and took
them to another town where they
picked only 5 pounds to the bushel.
Now do you see the game? Do you
wonder the farmers are quitting?—
C‘has. H. Thompson, Osceola County,
Michigan.

Hands up. all you farmers who have
kicked on the elevators keeping your cull
beans! It is unanimous. You ask us
why it should be that way. We don't
know, any more than we know why the
consumer should forever pay three. times
the price the farmer receives for his
products. The bean elevator’s answer is.
“What we charge for picking those beans
does not nearly cover the cost_ We, don’t
want these cull beans. We would much
rather the farmer would pick his own
beans and keep his culls. We make no
money out of them." So there you are.
It always pays to "shop around" when
you have grain or beans to sell, and this
year in particular. Beans are not so
plentiful as they used to be. Elevators
are anxious to buy at present prices, and
if you don’t get a satisfactory deal at
one elevator go to another one, if you
cam—Editor.

 

AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE

OUR editorial entitled, “England

a Friend,” gave me more pleas—
‘ ure than I can express. Un—
til I was 36 years old, 36 years ago,
my home was in England, and I can
positively say that I never heard any
bitterness ever expressed towards
this country, and one never heard of
any rancor being held against Amer—
ica, and to hear or read of a good
word being spoken for my old home
brings a warmth of gratitude to my
heart which I most earnestly wish I
had the power to express and my
thoughts always go to the writer of
same with a desire to know them
personally.

I think America, my adopted
home, is fine and I have met many
friends, some of whom I esteem most
highly. But “many a time and oft”
my thoughts stray to that dear home
of my childhood, with a longing that
I know now will never be appeased,
so again thanking you with all my
heart for a word of praise for “dear
old England,” believe me, yours
very sincerely.——Mrs. F. J. Walter,
Oceana. County, Michigan.

It is a pleasure to know that my ed-
itorial found such a. response in your
heart. There are probably many other
native-born English people, as well as
native—born Germans, French, Polish,
Scandinavians and'other nationalities in
Michigan who would wish with us that
the relations between the United States
and their mother country might always
be cordial and peaceful_ Because they
have severed their political allegiance to
these countries is no reason why they
should cease to love the fond memories
of their childhood. It is right and prop-
er that we should cherish these memor:
les and hope for the day when never

1

WISE AND ornnnwfsE

N ANCIENT times all trades and

manual labor were held to be

demeaning. Cicero was respon-
sible for the statement, that, leaving
out the professions, farming alone
was a noble calling; this was the
opinion of that day and prevailed up
"to the time of Christ, when all man-
ual labor was honored and dignified
by his carpentership.

During the time of the Roman‘im
vasion of France, so much of the
forests were cut that it left the
thin soil on the hillsides to the
mercy of wind and rain and in time
they became barren, rocky slopes.
The French peasants have literally
covered many of these hillsides with
soil carried in baskets on their
backs. Today they are growing vine-
yards and raising grapes on soil run-
ning to a depth of not more than 18
inches. Their industry and pluck
should certainly have its reward.

UNFAITHFULNESS

HAVE just finished reading a

piece on our page that made me

feel like writing a few lines. Here
is a busy home loving wife, her en-
tire life grown and interwoven with
that of her husband and their child—
ren, she suddenly gets the jolt of her
life in finding out her husband, the
father of her children, is untrue to
her.

Will some one please tell me what
is wrong with our men today? (Our
neighborhood and town is full of
this same thing.) They seem to have
turned traitors, deceiving their wiv-
es most shamefully, good hard work-
ing women that bear their children
for them and go without that the
same children may have clothes and
food. There is too much of this damn-

able meanness going on. There
should be a law for such; a good
horsewhipping would do such men

good. Take the conceit out of them
for that’s what ails them more than
any thing else. It doesn’t take much
of a woman to lead some men astray.
all they have to do is talk and laugh
a little and smile at them and they
puff up like an old turkey gobbler
and his own children get disgusting
to him, and his wife, of course, he
wonders how on‘ earth he ever put up
with such a slow. tiresome woman.
An attractive, striking-looking man
like he is, I expect he wonders where
he’s been all this time, and after his
wife finds it out, he is just furious
with her about it, never with him—
self or the woman that he let make
a fool of him, and when his wife
either leaves him and seems him or
else gets up and does the same thing
and shows him he isn’t the only tur—
key gobbler on earth, he begins to
imagine he is desperately in love
with her. I don’t wonder she shiv-
ers when he touches her, he has
dealt her a deadly blow.

- I know, for I have suffered the
same thing by the man I have call-
ed husband. I am still living with
him and my trouble happened some
few years ago, but there is something
gone out of my life and I mourn for
that something as I would for the
dead. He is sorry, curses himself,
hates the woman, but nothing can
undo the wrong done me. He wants
me to be like I used to be to him but
I can no more feel like I used to be-
cause there’s something that broke
in two and there is nothing can mend
it.

I would like to read some other
views on this subject. I am perhaps
happier living with him than I would
be living apart and both wretched
and I am like the other woman, don’t
give a snap of my finger for any
man although I think there is noth-
ing so noble or big or finezas a good
true man. I think a good man
should ignore a bold, adventurous
woman just as a woman should show
a bad man the door. This excusing
men for being weak is all rot to me.

I would like to hear some woman
or man that has done the wrong.
write and tell us their side and how
it has afiected their lives. If this
woman had not been a good wife
and had failed in some way..to her
husband and then he would have
been out philandering it would be
somewhat different. Maybe some
real broad-minded, more forgiving
natures can give us" some help along

' this line. It has been hard for me;
only God knows the shame and hu-

the soul body took possession of the
material body.

Just as an engine ready for steam
or electricity to be turned on be-
comes a living, useful machine. Ev-
ery cell was filled with the life—giv-
ing breath of the Creator and every
part of the flesh which is made up
of tiny cells received for the first
time the acids and the alkalies which

ural electricity.

When the change called death
comes the soul or true body “which
is the house of the spirit,” walks out
of the door of the natural body, cast—
ing it off as we do an old coat. Even
that natural body does not die but
being put into the earth disintegrates
and each separate atom, borrowed
from the earth returns to its own

T OCCURRED to me a tee . , I
I suggestions on floors and floor

coverings and the care~of hard-
wood floors would be useful ’to some
of our readers. This week we will
lay the foundation, next week give
different methods of caring for hard
and soft wood floors, with directions
for making floor wax and oils for
cleaning and polishing. The week
following directions for laying lin—
oleum which so few men from the
stores seem to understand. Any
questions on this subject will be
gladly answered. Much information
has been procured from a recently
issued Farmer’s Bulletin:

As a general rule, it is most satis-
factory to make the floor—which in
this sense includes rugs or any other
coverings—neutral in color, incon-
spicuous in design, and darker than
the surrounding walls. ‘Nor is the
reason for this hard to" find. The
floor is the foundation ’and in many
cases part of the background—of the
room and its furnishings. Despite
this fact, interest in the smoothness
of a finish or the sheen of a partic-
ular rug sometimes leads to a choice
of colors and designs that make the
floor the most conspicuous part of
the room and even give it an upside-
down effect.

Color is to many persons the most
interesting subject of all in choos—
ing such furnishings as floor cover—
ings. Talk of color schemes is heard
at every turn, but not all realize how
many—sided is this question of color
and color harmony. Too often be-
cause blue or green or rose is her
favorite color the housekeeper buys
that kind of rug not stopping to think
how wear will affect it, how it will
look with the room as a whole, or
whether the room is too dark or too
light for such a color. For instance,
the soft blue rug of Chinese design
may show to perfection in the strong
light of the shop window and may
be a beautiful thing in itself, but
whether the room is sunny enough,
whether the floor is stained the
right color and how it will harmon-
ize with the furniture and hangings
are questions the purchaser should
ask herself before making her de-
cision.

To put it briefly, then, the rug or
covering should harmonize in color
with the parts of the floor that show
and both these in turn with the walls
the/furniture and the curtains. Of
course, this does not mean that all
these must be shades of one color.
for such an arrangement would soon
become monotonous, but simply that
they should be colors that look well
together and are so used that the
floor is darkest, the walls lighter,
and the ceiling lightest of all.

At the time the housekeeper is de—
ciding on color and design she must
also be gathering information about
wearing quality and cost. A floor is
made to be walked on, and no mat-
ter how attractive the finish or ex-
cellent the color and design of a ma:
terial it can not be considered satis-
factory if it does not wear well and
is not eaSy to clean.

The finished floor with removable
coverings has much to recommend
it; it is easily cleaned, sanitary, and
simplifies many problems in house
furnishing. Leaving wooden floors
both unfinished and uncovered is
not considered satsifactory, except
occasionally in kitchen or bathroom.
Eve-n in these cases finishing or cov-
ering the floor with some washable
material would probably be econ-
omy, because it would be easier to
clean.

In general, the hardwoods make
the better floors than the softwoods.
They wear more evenly, are less like—
ly to sliver, take a more durable fin-
ish, and are more attractive in ap-
pearance. They are usually more
expensive than softwoods, but this

is somewhat offset by their good'

wearing qualities. Of the hardwoods,
oak and maple are the most used.
the birch, beech and others to a lim‘
ited extent.

The so-called softwoods include
the various kinds of conifers. Of
these, long-leaf pine and Douglas fir

EAR CHILDREN: When I was

about 20 years old I did all of

the work that was done on the
farm with the team of horses and at
that time my father owned one of
the horses and I owned the other one
—it was the first horse that I had
ever owned and you may be sure I
was a very proud young man. Fath-
er’s horse was middle—aged and full
of life and when all was working
smoothly she would always be sev—
eral inches ahead of my horse, which
was a. 3—year-old colt. But this did
not worry my horse as he was very
good natured and he plodded along
steadily and willingly. Sometimes
he would make me out of patience
because he did not keep up with Jen-
ny, father’s horse and I would speak
sharply to him calling out his name,
“Prince!” He would quicken his
‘pace and keep up with Jenny for a
rod or two but would soon drop back
as it made Jenny mad to have any
horse work even with her and she
would nearly run if necessary to
keep ahead. However, when the wa—
gon was “stuck” or the plow ran un-
der an old root it was always Prince
that pulled the load or plow out if
it required more than one pull to
do it. I would get them even and
then speak to them. Jenny would
take a quick step and try to jerk the
load out but Prince would'brace him-
self and pull steadily until I said
“Whoa!” And if it required more
than one pull he was always willing
and would pull for all he was worth
but Jenny would not try after the
first time and may times Prince pull-
ed the load or plow out alone onto
Jenny’s heels.

I have seen many boys and girls
that were’like these horses in their
own way. Some children will get
along fine the most of the time with
their lessons, in school, apparently
without doing much studying and
have high marks but as soon as the
teacher gives them, a lesson that they.
cannot get the first time they read
it they become discouraged and say
their lesson is too hard. And there
are others that work hard on their
lessons every day and only get av-
erage marks but when the hard les-
sons come they simply work a little
harder and get that also. Who do
you think is the smartest? These
boys and girls are the same in their
other work and play. If their moth-
er wants them to fill the wood—box
one of them will bring in an armful
and then run off to play while the
other will fill the box heaping full
before turning to play. They will
do the same when their father wants
them to pump some water for the
cows or cut. the thistles in the corn.
When they grow up to be men and
women they remain the same and
while one will shirk the hard tasks
the other will tackle it and do it. It
isn’t the people that give up too eas-
ily when they come to a hard task
or the solution of a difficult prob-
lem that make a success of life in
this world.

anxious to get back to the girls and
boys. Doc and I are becominggreat
friends and he recently told me—
lean close and I’ll whisper it in your
ear—“I’ve got a great surprise for
the girls and boys when I get back.”
I can not tell you more because I
promised him I Wouldn’t. But you
wait and watch—UNCLE NED.

 

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle. Ned—I will be glad when
the Doc Dads get back, I always look
for them first. I am in the tenth grad:-

at school. I go to the Plymouth high
school. I have four brothers and two
sisters. My oldest brother will graduate

at school this year. Last Friday night
we went to a box social. My brother got
a married woman and I got a married
man. We played a new game that night,
It was a real exciting game. First you
get some peanuts, any number just so
they are even, and put an- even number
on each plate. I mean just two plates.
We had 12 boys and girls so we had one
plate for the girls with twelve peanuts
on and twelve for the boys. Boys line
up on one side of the room and girls on
other. The girl and boy get a peanut on
a knife without using the other han'l.
They have to carry their peanut across
the room to another plate. Then which
one gets done first wins_ The boys won
first, then the girls, so we had two games.
We had a real good time that night. A
few weeks ago I saw in the paper they
wrote some stories. Wish we could have
a story page for us. I am reading the
story in the paper. It is a very good
story for. I have read Kazan and it is
good so I knew this would be. Well,
I will write a story now.—Ruth Wilkin,
R 4, Plymouth. Mich,

The Haunted House

In a wood not far from a small village
was a haunted house. The house was
always vacant for nobody would live
there. One day some boys thought they
would visit the house, so they took their
equipments they needed and started off.
They roamed around in the woods until
about dark, then got their beds ready
for night. They slept until about mid—
night, when they were awakened by a
noise. It was not very loud, so they
went to sleep again. They were awak—
ened again by a loud noise upstairs and
one below. It sounded as though some-
one was dragging chains. One boy was
brave enough to ask the others to go
and see. The boys went tip-toeing up—
stairs to see what it was. It was quite
dark up there for they took no light. but
the moon shown in the room so they
could see a little. One boy softly open~
ed up the door and what did they See? A
parrot sitting on a chain, making a lot
of noise, They took the parrot and put
it in their bed room. Then they how
a noise downstairs. The boys went to
see what it was. Outside they found
neighbor Brown’s goat which had run
away from home. It must have come
there to eat grass, The boys were not
bothered the rest of the night, but slept
soundly. The next morning they took
the goat and parrot and started home.
Soon they reached home. They told of
their night's stay_ Many people laughud
at those who were afraid to sleep in the
house. Now the house is occupied and
no complaint is made.

Dear Uncle Ned—I would like to tell
you about the Hallowe’en party we had
at our school. Last Friday we closed all
the shutters on the windows of the school~
house and made it dark inside. Then we
lit candles in jack-o'-ianterns and sang
some songs after which several of the
children spoke pieces. A lady played a
march on the piano and the ghosts and
goblins, all dressed in white. came skip-
ping in, They looked very funny. Later
we had some candy and played games
out-of—doors and guessed riddles. Some
of the girls’ and boys' mamas and several
children from another school were there.
It was most as much fun as Christmas.
Do you believe in Santa Claus, Uncle
Ned? He was at our school when we
had a tree last Christmas and he is
coming again this year. I am 6 years
old. My daddy or mamma reads to me
the children’s page and the story of the
little bear Neewa. Goodbye, Uncle

6 Beautiful Golden Lilies

without a single penny
of expense

 

 

       

Let Us Send You a Few of These
Lilies for Fall Planting

The brush cannot paint or the pen por-
tray the exquisite purity and delicacy, yet
magnificent granduer of the stately Lily.
No other flower will so adorn our homes
when in bloom, and improve year after year
with practically no care or attention. The
beautiful Hemerocallis Golden Lily is the
hardiest of all Lilies and will grow any-

 

where and produce masses of large beauti-
ful blossoms. This Wonderful lily is one of
the finest hardy tuberous~rooted plants we
have. No flower has a more glorious color,
the tall, graceful stains standing 2 to 3
feet, capped with a. cluster of large blos-
soms of the richest orange-yellow ever seen.
As each plant sends up many flower spikes
each season, the effect is truly wonderful.
It is a color that all will exclaim over, and
the flower has a most delightful fragrance.
One of the finest hardy garden flowers.
Will thrive in all climates, in all kinds of
soil, and in any location—Wet or dry, and
in the hottest sun or most dense shade.
Very showy flowers for the lawn and un-
surpassed for table decorations and bouquets.
They are almost indispensable for showy
effects, both in the garden and for cutting,
and are most gorgeous when planted in
masses or in groups among shrubbery.
Do not fail to plant some of these won-
derful lilies this fall. We can supply you
with nice strong plants, and will guarantee
them to reach you in good condition and
grow and bloom satisfactorily. What better
guarantee could you ask than that? We
know they will please you. Now is the time
to send in your order. .

HOW TO GET THEM:

We will send you six bulbs for fall plantinz.
all charges prepaid as a reward for sendan
only two yearly subscriptions to the Michigan
Business Farmer for one year at $1.00 each ,
your own renewal for one year may be include-(1' "
The other subscription may be either a new or
renewal. Both subscriptions must be sent at .
the same time with remittance of $2.00 ‘

You can easily secure another order to send
along with your own and will be well repaid
for your efl'ort in securing it. .

The Auction at.Fr¢nelsco In

On Friday afternoon, October 28. the
third number in the Central Michigan
Poland China. sale circuit was pulled on

by the PODe Brothers on their wonderful ‘

Francisco Farm just out of Mt. Pleasant.
AS 1n the other offerings of the circuit
the h0g3 Were sold by Col. William Waf-
fleB, of Goldwater and Col. John Hot!-
man, of Hudson, assisted by S. C. For-
ney of Mt. Pleasant and E, R. Leonard
of St. Louis. It was universally conced-
ed by all of those present at this-sale,
whohave been in the habit of attending
auction sales of pure-bred ogs that this
was one of the best offeri 5 ever made
in the state and it is greatly to be re-
gretted that theprices for which these
fineanimals sold were so far below their
mtrmsrc value. While the Pope Broth-
ers are past masters in the art of hog
breeding they also specialize in the pro-
duction of Shorthorn cattle that have
not yet lost the ability to produce a. lib-
eral amount of milk’; to those who vis-
ited the sale on Friday the herd of cat-
tle referred to was one of the chief at-
tractions.

In the hog exhibit, the boars named
for reference were Black Jumbo Lad.
Michigan Mastodon, 424007 and Michigan
Glansman, 451233. The following is a.
list of breeders who purchased hogs at
the Pope sale: E. A. Clark, St, Louis:
Brewbaker Bros, Elsie; John Klumm, '1‘.
A. McCarty, G. R. Wheeler, J. T, Witte,
Bert Philo and Paul Messholder, all of
Mt. Pleasant; E. R_ Leonard, St. Louis;
Eldon McLachlin, Evart: Carl Moss-
holder, Rosebush; E, B. Salsbury. Shep-
herd; Carl DeWitt, Wheeler; Charles
VVetzcl and Sons, Ithaca; Floyd Street,
lthaca; William Martin, Weidman; Al-
bert Feldkamp and Amos Curtis of Man-
Chester. The average of the females in
this sale as a, few cents less than $30.
The highest price paid was $80.

The Brewbsker Auction

An auction sale of pure—bred large type
Poland China hogs was held by Brew-
baker & Sons. Elsie. Mich., on Thursday,
Nov, 3, on their farm located between
St. Johns and Elsie. The offering was
composed of tried sows, fall gilts. spring
boars and spring gilts. Admirers of large
type hogs had here the opportunity to in-
spect some of the best specimens of the
breed that can be found in the state of
Michigan. Two animals on exhibition
for reference only, a boar and n, sow,
weighed more than 900 pounds and many
of the animals offered in the sale were
their descendants. The auctioneer was
Col. Harry A, Eckhardt. Dallas City,
[ll., assisted by Howard Ridenour, St.
Johns. The clerk of the sale was Edgar
Burk, St. Johns. The highest priced

~hog of the sale, a spring boar of excep—

tionally good breeding, was purchased
by Archie Ward of Breckenridge of $100.
The sale average was about.$44,

Besides the gentlemen mentioned above.
the following breeders purchased hogs at
the Brewbaker sale: Arthur Gregory.

mons, C. P. Brown. William Peters, N.

China hogs was held on Wednesday. Nov.
2nd. on the farm of Lester Hile, located
between Lake Odessa and Ionia: this was
a select offering of 47 young animals, all
cholera immuned and in fine breeding
condition. The most impressive exhibit
made in connection with this sale was the
herd boar Emancipator 2nd, an animal of
outstanding merit and very generally con-
coded to be one of the best sires of the
breed; many of the best animals in the
offering were sired by this boar. Mr.
Hile also has in his breeding herd some
of the best brood sows that the writer has
ever seen. Three breeders consigned hogs
to the sale: George Aldrich who joins
arms with Mr. Hile and L. B, Stokes,
Greenville. All of the animals consign-
ed to this sale had equal merit with the
Hile offerings. The breeders who pur-
chased hogs were as follows: T. E. Barge,
Charlotte; Harry Wardlow, Montrose,
Iowa; , Alexander, Alto; Ralph
Sherk, Caledonia; Schaffer Bros., Ionia;

Hillcrest Farm is one of the wonders
of Western Michigan with its 560 acres
of splendid farming land and the out-
standing building and other necessary
equipment. Mr. Lay also specializes in
pure-bred Holstein cattle.

 

Not so long ago. E. R. Leonard, of St.
Louis was known as the Boy -Wonder in
connection with the breeding of Large
Type Poland Chinas in Michigan; when
the writer was looking over the splendid
band of brood sows and boars on the
Leonard farm. last Thursday, he came
to the conclusion, that while Mr. Leonard
was no longer a boy he is still a wonder
in his ability to select and mate do-
mestic animals so as to bring about de-
sired results. The Leonard herd made
a wonderful record at the Michigan fairs
in 1921; at the Michigan State Fair in
1918 the herd won the following prizes:
First on aged boar, junior yearling boar.

sow, senior yearling ts‘ow, junlgr

rlin sow, under sx mon s sow. e -
mtor’g herd and breeders herd. The
herd alSO furnished the grand champion
boar and the grand champion_ sow, the
senior champion boar. the senior cham-
pion sow, the junior champion sow. the
second on get of sire and produce of dam.

Emanci ator 2nd. the senior yearling
boar at tIIie head of Wesley Nile's Po-
land China herd. is universally conceded
to be one of the {best boars the breed has
ever produced; weighing 700 pounds at
18 months old, he is almost perfect in
continuation, with bone enough to carry
a thousand pounds, as light as a feath—
er. Descended as he is from-the great
Emancipator, Liberator and Giant Bust-
er he represents a line of breeding that
is much sought after these days.

 

 

The Poland China hogs recently sold
from the Hillcrest offering of F. B. Lay
and the Den Bleyker Bros. Were of a
very desirable type; the females had
that matronly appearance that always
develops in a successful hog mother and
the males had the strong masculine char-
acter that bespeaks a prolific Sire. Mr.
Lay and the ambitious young men, who
are conducting his farm for him, are
surely building up a wonderful large

type hog.

The Brewbaker’s: father. mother, sons
and son’s wives are all intensely inter-
ested in the production of good hogs and
a visit to the farm will convmce anyone
that they are making an outstanding suc-
cess of their breeding venture. The
great herd boar, Gertsdale Timm. cross-
ed with Extra Long Jumbo, a 900—pound
sow, has produced a large number of an-
imals that have not only helped greatly
in the making of recent Poland China
history but they are also making the
name Brewbaker. justly famous in con-
nection with the production of improved
live stock.

 

 

The work of Col. Harry A. Eckhardt,
in last week's Poland China sales, was
strictly “up to the minute" .in the line of
effective salesmanship; this fat. good—
natured son of Illinois does nothing but
sell hogs from .the time the sale opens
until the last bid is made. The man who
can get more money for an offering of
young hogs than Harry Eckhardt, is cer-
tainly an adept at coaxing.

W. I. Wood of Birmingham, Mlch., as—
pires to the ownership of one of the lead—
ing Poland China herds of the state and
the two splendid sows, that he bought at
the Hile sale, will make good founda—
tion timber for the undertaking; these
sows will be bred to Emancipator, .a
fact that makes it certain that they Will
be heard from in the show rings of the
future. Billy Wood will never be fully
satisfied until he owns a show herd of
hogs that will go down the line and
"clean up.”

 

Large death losses of young hogs from
cholera are showing up nearly every day.
of late. The State House of Correction,
at Ionia, is reported to have lost 100 head
many of them well finished animals,
ready for the butcher. The Polish acad-
emyat Orchard Lake. buried 54 the oth-
er day and a few more are said to be on
the “ iting list." With corn so plenti—'
ful a (1 young hogs so scarce as they are
now it is indeed a great pity that so
large a number of young feeding pros—
pects should be sacrificed when a small
investment. at the right time, would pre—
vent the loss. '

nest. Many times in his young life
he had seen Noozak, his mother, go
up to nests like that, tear them down,
crush them under her big paw, and
then invite him to the feast of. dead
wasps within. For at least a month
wasps had been included in his daily

fare, and they were as good as any-‘

thing he knew of. He approached

the nest; Miki followed. ‘When they ,

were within three feet of it Miki be-
gan to take notice of a very distinct
and pecul..‘.i'ly disquieting buzzing
sound. Néewa was not at all alarm-
ed; judging the distance of the nest
from the ground, he rose on his hind
feet, raised his arms, and gave it" a

Instantly the drone which Miki
had heard changed into the angry
buzzing of a saw. Quick as a. flash
Neewa’s mother would have had
the nest under her paws and the life
crushed But of it, while Neewa’s tug
had only served partly to dislodge
the home of Ahmoo and dangerous
tribe. And it happened that Ahmoo
was at home with three quarters of
his warriors. Before Neewa could
give the nest a second tug they were
piling out of it in a cloud and end-
denly a wild yell of agony rose out
of Miki. Ahmoo himself had landed
on the end of the dog's nose. Nee-
wa made no sound, but stood for a
‘moment swiping at his face with
both paws, while Miki, still yelling,
ran the end of his cruicifed nose in
the ground. In another moment
every fighter in Avhmoo’s army was
busy. Suddenly setting up a bawl-
ing on his account Neewa turned tail
to the nest and ran. Miki was not
a hair behind him. In every square
inch of his tender hide he felt the
red-hot thrust of a needle. It was
Neewa that made the most noise.
His voice was one continuous bawl,
and to this bass Miki’s soprano wail-
ing added the touch which would
have convinced any passing Indian
that the loupgarou devils were hav-
ing a dance. ,

MICHIGAN WILL MAKE BID FOR
NATION’S DAIRY SHOW
(Continued from page 1)

He visited the National Dairy
Show this year in St. Paul, and was
so impressed with its magnitude and
importance that he came home re-
solved to help bring the show to
Michigan next Mar if possible. In ex-
plaining the value the show would
be to Detroit and Michigan, Mr. Web-
ber said that it is the marker set
every year to illustrate to the na-
tion the progress that it has made in
the dairy industry and others based
upon it. He said it would do much
to improve dairying standards in
Michigan inasmuch as visitors have
the best possible opportunity to study
the needs and possibilities of the in-
dustry and ways to improve types of
cattle, methods of production and
marketing.

The management of the national
show will not decide on the place for
the 1922 exposition until some time
in January. It is hoped that Mich-
igan dairymen and organizations,
with the aid of the dairy interest of
adjoining states will be able to
bring together such an array of ar-
guments in favor of the Michigan lo-
cation as to thoroughly convince the
management that it should come
here.

PICRIC ACID CLEARS 30,000
MICHIGAN ACRES
HIRTY thousand acres of clear—
ed land will be added to Michi—
L— gan's total as a result of land
clearing operations being carried on
this fall with picric acid, according
to estimates of land clearing special-
ists at the Michigan Agricultural
College. In addition, it is said that
farmers of the state have saved $65,—
000 in the purchase of the war salv—
aged explosive. Twenty—seven car-
loads were placed in the state, thir-
teen in the upper peninsula and four—
teen in the northern counties of the
lower peninsula.

SYMPTOMS 0F TUBERCULOSIS,
, ' .(C‘onttmied from page ‘7) ,
which gees hand in hand with a tu-
berculous lesion, is aptto be Present-
Night sweats, constipation, short-
ness of breath on'exe-rtion are other
commOn early findings.

In comparatively rare instances.
the first warning of the presence of
the disease is a. pulmonary hemor-
rhage. "

As consumption gains foothold and
the disease increases in severity, all
of the above symptoms become more
definite and the picture becomes
'cle'arer.

In the‘ very early stages of the
disease, the patient usually runs a
temperature in the afternoon of a
degree or more above normal and
has a. subnormal temperature in the
morning.

The best books on the subject
from a layman’s standpoint are Law
warson Brown's “Rules for Recov-
ery from Pulmonary Tuberculosis”
and King’s “The Tuberculosis Bat-
tle and .How to Win It.” Both of
these can be obtained from the Na.-
tional Tuberculosis Association, 370
Seventh Avenue, New York City.
This organization has considerable
literature for free distribution and
publishes an excellent monthly mag-
azme called The Journal of Outdoor
Lifer—George H. Ramsey, M. D.,
Deputy Commissioner, State Depart—
ment of Health, Lansing.

The bonds offered by this company

LIABLE FOR NEGLIGENCE

A bad a. permit to pasture his mare
and colt on B’s farm. C was hauling
wood across pasture and left the fence
open and A’s mare and colt got into C’s
pasture and the colt got kicked and is
crlppled for life. Is A entitled to dam—
ages from C?——A. B., Garden, Mich.

I would be of the opinion that 0
would be liable for negligence, if
he had only the right of driving
across the pasture.——Legal Editor.

PLACING GULVERTS

The state is building a. state trunk line
by my place and they dug a. six—foot
ditch in front of my house. Are they
supposed to tile it or not? I have gates
going into each Iieid along this road.
Are they Obliged to build one to gate and
how wide should the drives be?———A Sub-
scriber, St. Johns, Mich.

There is nothing in the law that
compels the municipality construct-
ing this highway to tile their gutters
nor is there anything in the law
which obligates the municipality con-
structing highways to build drive-
way culverts,‘-but both the State
Highway Department and the vari-
ous Boards of County Road Commis-
sioners do construct driveway cul-
verts for a certain number of drive-
ways to property adjacent to high—
ways being improved, charging same
to the original project. This how—
ever, is a matter entirely discretion-
ary with the board having charge of
the construction of the highway.—
Harry H. Partlow, Legal Adviser.
State Highway Department.

 

MUST PAY TAXES

I want to ask you a question in regard
to the supervisor assessing chattel prop-
erty. I have a. son that is of age and
owns some cattle that are on my farm.
Can the supervisor assess these cattle to
me, and am I compelled to pay taxes on
them?——J. R. H., Michigan.

The law provides: “All, animals

kept throughout the year in some ‘

township other than where the'own-
er resides shall be assessed to such
owner or the person in“ possession
in the township Where "kept." The
inquiry does not ‘stat_e“rwh to; '
owner presides-but u a -

\VAREHOUSING CORN
1TH THE approval of the Sec-

. retary of the Department of
L “Agriculture the War Finance
Corporation is about to develop plans
for the warehousing of corn on a
large scale. Evidently this is a plan
not to take supplies from the market
and create a scarcity, but to save a
large and unwieldly surplus. Such
a plan should be helpful to the farm-
ers and of benefit to the public.

There was a large carry-over of
corn last year. and on top of that
came the 1920 crop of 3,232,367,000
bushels. This was the largest crop
ever produced. We are now harvest-
ing another one almost as large. Two
record crops in succession can mean
nothing else than an unusual surplus
under ordinary conditions of con-
sumption. “Hunt is to be done with
it? Shall it be wasted or conserved?

The question has been well ans-
wered by Professor George F. War-
ren, now of the Department of Agri-
culture, who is an acknowledged au-
thority in the economics of agricul-
ture. In a recent study of farm pro-
ducts he pointed out that ample sup-
plies of grain and hay should be held
on farms in each year of excessive
production. More attention, he said.
should be given to storage and' the
financing of crops in years when the
weather is unusually favorable, so
that the unexpected production,
which is often a calamity to the farm-
‘ers, may be used to supplement. short
crops that are now almost equally
injurious to industry.

No economist or financier can dis-
agree with this advice. Then too, in-
dustry and finance are intimately
connected with the corn marketN be-
cause a low purchasing power of
farm products is felt. at once in all
Other circles. An illustration is to
be found in the implement business.
Heavy cuts in prices were made this
year, yet farmers could purchase
only a third of their usual supplies,
according to the findings of the un-
employment conference. This would
suggest big inventory losses in this
business. And a loss in one business
aflects others like pushing over one
of a row of bricks.

There has not been a time in
twenty years when the purchasing
power of an. acre of corn has been
so low as it is now. Present indica-
tions are that by the time the crop
movement is well under way this
purchasing power per acre will be
less than 65 per cent of normal. The
absence of this buying power is felt
all along the line of manufacturers,
from shoes and shirts to automobiles
and agricultural implements. We
call it “stagnation.”

The measure of corn is full and
running over. Save and store the
overflow against the day when the
measure will be short. Federal li-
censed warehouses offer the means of
doing this in a way that will ulti-
mately add to the farmer’s purchas-
ing power and‘ benefit general bus-
iness—Wall Street Journal.

Last week’s wheat market was
very bearish and prices at Detrmt
declined 8c while on the Chicago
market wheat for December delivery
went below $1 for the first time in
six years. The weakest period of the
week was the first four days during
which time the market was over-sup-
plied with grain and from appearanc-
es at that time it looked as though
the supply was inexhaustible. ‘The
result was a steady decline in pric—
es. However there was not much
short selling going on as bears were
exceedingly cautious believing the
market might turn higher at any
, moment. Dealers report export de-

mand was not ofa~very active nature

MARKET SUMMARY

Wheat takes on bullish outlook with promises of higher
prices. Cornand oats steady but little chance of much higher
prices this week. Demand for rye small.
not look for substantial advance in prices within n‘cxt week or
Potatoes easy and supply liberal.
and eggs meet with good demand. Detroit market for dressed
calves and hogs easy with no changes in prices. ~

but there is more wheat going out
of this country than the average; per-
son believes because the business is
being carried on under cover. Flour
buyers stocked up when the railroad
employes threatened to strike and
the mills did not experience any de-
mand last week so they were not in
the market; some of the mills even
closed down. Country offerings
dropped off the latter part, of the
week but this did not affect. prices
as demand was slow. Of the wheat
crop outside of the United States it
is said that Canada has an enormous
surplus, which is being marketed at
a big loss to the growers, and Ar-
gentine and Australia are expecting
to handle a large export business.
Receipts at Chicago last week aggre-
gated 109 cars compared with 92
cars one year ago. Shipping sales
totaled about 250.000 bushels. On
Monday, Nov. 7. the market lost.
some of its bearish appearance and
prices advanced.

The condition of the winter wheat
is considered fairly good excepting
in the western states where the crop
needs rain badly. Here in Michigan
the crop is coming along very satis—
factorily with only slight damage re-
ported by the Hessian fly and it is
believed the crop in general is in
good condition for winter.

As we predicted in our issue of
Nov. 5th the corn market was dull
last week and prices declined slight—
ly. Country offerings were light but
receipts continued to more than fill
the demand. The weak condition of
the Wheat market also had something
to do with the dullness in corn. Some
falling off of stocks was noticcd at
Chicago but supplies are still large.
Export business is fairly good ac~
cording to seaboard clearances. Ship-
ments from Chicago last week
amounted to 500,000 bushels. Re-
ceipts were estimated at 185 cars.
The husking of the crop is progress-
ing rapidly throughout the country
and a large portion of the crop is
already in the crib. Corn belt states
report damage from mould and ear
worm but the crop as a whole is of
good quality, especially in this state.
Huskers are making rapid progress
in Michigan and some damage by
ear worms is reported. The market
trend was unchanged the opening
day of the present week. No. 3 yel-
low was off lc at Detroit.

Oats went some lower in price the

mand was conspicuous for its ab—
sence and domestic business was not
much better. Receipts were small

Export de- ‘

and country ofieringspmounted to
practically nothing. Dealers/are in-
clined to believe this grain has about
reached the bottom and it is due for
a. recovery. We think so too but do
not look for any gains of importance
within the next few weeks. Instead
of following wheat upward on Mon-
day of the current week, oat prices
declined.

RYE

There.were declines amounting to
100 in the Detroit rye market the
early part of last week but on the
closing day there was an advance of
3c which brought the price for N0.
2 up to 810. At Chicago the price
dropped to 75c. These prices are
too low and we are looking for this
grain to go higher. We do not look
for any spectacular change for the
better but we are bullish on rye fu-
tures. It may be a matter of a
couple of months before the market
takes on a healthier outlook but it
is bound to come, at least that is the
way we see it. The growing crop of
rye looks good and it should enter
the winter in fine condition in most
sections.

BARLEY

The barley market appears lifeless
and prices continue unchanged at
the level established several weeks
ago: $1.00@1.30 per th., at De-
troit and 510 per bushel on the Chi-
cago market. The quality of this
year’s crop is reported to be not
quite up to standard.

Owing to the impending rail strike
New York shippers stocked up heav—
ily with potatoes and the result was
that last week the New York market
was over—supplied with potatoes and
prices declined. Chicago shippers
and dealers did not pay much atten-
tion to the threatened strike and
they did no extra buying. So the
supply on” that market was only
normal. The result was that the
cooler weather of last week steadied
the Chicago market some although
prices did not advance. Trade is
good at this point but shipments are
heavy thus holding the prices down.
At Detroit receipts were liberal and
the price was off slightly. Cooler
weather, we believe, would "mark
the change to higher price‘ levels.
Potato digging is nearing comple-
tion and the yield in general for the
entire U. S. is reported low. Reports
of rot continue to come in.

  

ONIONS

Weather conditions were responsi-
ble for the easy feeling in the onion
market at Chicago last week, with
respect to volume of trading, al-
though prices suflered but little, pos-
sibly declining 25c per cwt. Oper-
ators with large stocks and no plac—
es to store them are selling at slight-
ly lower prices but the men that have
good storage facilities are holding
on to their stock and sitting tight.
Indiana reds and yellows are quoted
at $4.75@5 per cwt.

APPLES

The apple market last week was
slow at New York both on boxes and
barrels. Prices on barrels seemed
to be a little lower. Most of the
soft fall fruit has been moved. For
instance, there are no more McIn-
tosh to speak of and this fruit was
selling around $12@14 per barrel.
Standard Winter grades are now get—
ting into the market in good shape.
Greenings, of course, are very scarce
and good barrel Greenings last week
were selling at $6@10. Baldwins
were doing very well at $5@7.50
and Ben Davis were bringing $4@6.
Ben Davis is one variety that is low-
er than it was two weeks ago by
perhaps $1 per barrel. Some fancy
Northern Spies were bringing $8@
10 and Kings were selling around
$6@8. Box apples were slow and
the market was in a very bad condi-
tion, with offerings heavy.

HAY

The rush of hay to market week
before last owing to the threatened
strike and heaVy buying by dealers
and consumers caused all markets
to weaken last week and at many
points prices went lower. Soon as this
accumulation is cleared, the market
ket will again steady down. Prices
did not change at Detroit so stand-
ard timothy is orth $18@19 per
ton with the bes' grade $1 higher.
No. 1 clover is $14@15 per ton and
No. 1 clover mixed $15@16 per ton.
Other large markets located thru-
out the U. S. are from $1 lower to
$8 higher.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

Another week’s experience with a.
freaky cattle market, has been the
lot of the average cattle dealer and
feeder. High-grade yearling steers,
just the kind the market prefers,
made a new record for the year sell-
ing at $12.50 per cwt. in Chicago,
while all other grades of killing cat‘
tle, stockers and feeders were dull
and sharply lower. Veal calves,
hogs and sheep are quoted lower and
lambs steady to a trifle higher. The
trade in all fresh meats exbept light
yearling calves has been dull and
slow of late and selling prices have
showed a decline, ranging froni 50
cents to $2 per cwt., in all of the
larger cities of the country. The
cause assigned for these conditions
is the accumulation of fresh meat in
the coolers of the country in antici-
pation of a labor strike that did not
materialize. The demand for cured
meats and lard is reported to be act—
ive and the movement of generous
proportions; the extremely low pric-
es, at which all cured meats and lard
are selling, tend to stimulate de-
mand. Provisioners are entirely sat—
isfied with the business they are do—
ing in commodity and by-products.

Last week's Chicago cattle receipts
were 10,000 head lighter than for
the week before and 18,000 lighter
than for the same week, last year.
A few good cattle came to hand but
more plain and medium kinds were
received that the trade could absorb
without materially shading values.
The yearling steers that brought
$12.50 were of show—yard quality
and light average weight; on the
same day, yearlings, just as well fin-
ished but heavier in weight, brought
only $11.40. A load of Hereford

steers, averaging 1,490, brought only ,I.
The call for light beef is ._

locality and were as good as grain
and care could make them.

Lambs held their owu all last
week and the close was from 15 to
25 cents per cwt. higher than the
opening on Monday. A“. Other
grades of sheep were lower for the
week. Receipts in the Chicago sheep
department, last week. were about
5,500 smaller than the week before,
the decrease being mainly in the
lamb department. Feeding lambs
were active all the week, with a. top
of $8 per cwt.

Receipts of hogs at Chicago, last
week, were called extremely large
for this season of the year, being
148,500; this generous supply, com-
ing on top of the big run of the week
before, created a surplus that made
it possible for packers to pound the
values, toward the middle of the
week. For the most part, however,
trade was active and featured by a
persistent shipping demand for all
k1nds, especially pigs and light
weights. The close was strong at
the extreme high point of the week.
Large receipts, all around the mar-
ket circle, on Monday of this week,
caused a decline in prices and fore-
shadows an eaSy mid-month trade at
prices slightly below $8.00 per cwt.
in Detroit and western points.

(Continued from last wank)
THE TRAPPING INDUSTRY
LTHO tens of thousands of fur

pelts are caught in deadfalls

each season and others with the
aid of dogs yet there are several
firms engaged in the manufacture of
game traps for catching fur animals.
The smallest sizes are adapted for
catching muskrat, weasel, mink,
skunk, etc., are turned out by mil-
lions. Those of larger sizes suitable
for fox, coon, otter, beaver, etc., are
of course, made in much less num-

bers. Next to the smallest size is
the trap mostly used, that is. the
one known as No. 1 Newhouse or
corresponding size and strength of

other makes.

New models and improved traps
are constantly being brought out and
include tree traps, stop thief traps,
jump traps, Kangaroo, triple clutch,
two trigger, etc. Two makes or
models known as eclipse folding trap
and Nelson-Boode trap are on the
market this season for the first time
so far as known. The latter is a
Michigan product invented and man-
ufactured Within the state. The
jaws and pan are much longer than
in the old style end spring.

Whitney has been making trac-
tors for 16 years. The present
Whitney ' machine, thoroughly
proven through five years of re-
liable performance, has been sell-
ing for $1175.

Yet the Whitney folks realized
that that price was too high—realiz-
ed that tractor prices had to come
down to the price level of other ma-
chinery—and of farm crops. They
were convinced that the time had,
come when someone had to step in

and manufacture tractors on a
big-scale, close-margin, low-price
basis.

Huge production was the only
answer. So Whitney concentrated
the entire force of a ' $5,000,000
company on the manufacture of
this one time-tested model. The
result is a real utility tractor—*3.
standard two-plow machine, long-
lived, dependable, proven—at a.
price so low that every farmer in
the country can easily afford to
buy it.

EXT month—on this page—~you will learn the new price of this

sturdy, dependable tractor. You will learn the facts regarding _
this biggest tractor value ever put on the market. Your dealer m :
Will be glad to tell you the Whitney story. Or a word to us will

bring complete information.
