I , 30,, to February 3, will stand out as the biggeSt agricultural gathering in 1922 in Michigan, if the plans made by the dif- ferent associations which will meet at the college and the college authorities are car- ‘riedout' according to the present plans. “We expect that there will be as many at- tendingthis year as there was last year, if not more,”'reports A. M. Berridge, chair— manof the committee in charge of all the arrangements for the big week. Special meetings for the women where speakers of national repute will address them. are a feature of the huge gathering this ,year. Following the speeches the wo- men will be given a chance to arrange for personal conferences with. the speakers in which they may take up .phases of the work "in which they are particularly interested. _NO one should hesitate” to brirgthe baby to the big gathering. Members ofthe Home EcOnomics teaching staff will be in charge Of special rooms where the children may be left and cared fOrvvhile the mothers are attending their meetings. ‘ . Rest rooms Where the womenmay lie down will be pro- vided in the “Woman’s Building. Round trip tickets to Lansing and re- turn can be purchased at any’ point in the State ’ over all railroads and interurbans. No red tape is cbnnected with the securing of the reduced rates, as has been the case at many‘large gatherings. By purchasing . a round—trip ticket ‘when you start for 'T Lansing yen 'Will only have to pay fare and ' a fer 'the ticket- NO certificate of at- tendance or registration card -‘is ' required.

The morning are to be meetings of the conference and the afternoons be occupied with meetings of the committees. Every phase of '“fm‘eeent agricultural situation be discussed by the 200 and I’ more farmers fend inggstriel leaders” who have accepted imitations to the conference. The float two days of the conference will be given over to committee reports. The committees are expected to make definite recom- mer dations for solving the problems brought before the conference. More than 50 per cent of the delegates to the conierenc \ 1 independent farmers in vari us lines of produc— tion or representatives of farmers' . general or business Organizations. The farm bureau will ask early enactment of laws clearly defining the rights of farmers to market their products co-‘operatively and en- actment of each measure as will pro— vice proper credits to- tumors. Long term farm credits, commodity fi- nancing based on warehouse re- ceipts, personal credits secured by proper insurance features and ma- chinery that will allow co-operative systems to borrow direct have been urged by the farm bureau and the agricultural bloc in congress. The conierenoe will also be asked to harken to the farm bureau's trans- portation reforms, which include an immediate reduction in freight rates; that all savings in operating costs be at once put into further rate reductions until the increase of repeal of the Escheou’mm’m law so as to remove the guaranteed earn- ings clause, (and repeal or. amend- ment of the Adams‘on law so as to nullify the national'rail labor agree- ments. , . _ The farm bureau is also interested in immediate development of the Alabama‘ Muscle Shoals Nitrate Water Power project as a means of preserving our soil resources. En- . actment of the export grain feature of the “farmers' relief" bill will be asked. The bill provides that the War Finance Corporation be. per.- mitted to make advances to foreign purchasers of our products. the money to be expended in the United States. Other farm bureau suggestions . will be that the effectiveness of the U. S. Department of Agriculture be _ safeguarded and in 10 wise lessened; that the Truth-in-Fabrics bill Le pushed forward to enactm nt and that a law be passed forbidding the manufacture and sale of .filled con- densed milk. The adoption of uni- form and standard grades for agri- cultural products will be urged. Michigan men who accepted invi- tations to the conference were: Milo D.

This decline is unparalleled within the scope of records of the department dating back to 1881;. During the years immediately fol- lowing the ,civilw'war the general trend of the average was downward, dropping from about $14 or $15 per acre to less than $8 by 1896, the lowest point- in, the industrial de- pression of that time. An advance then set in and by 1913 the average value per acre was $16.49. The fol- lowing year there was a slight de- cline to $16.44 caused by the low price of cotton, but in 1916, the year before the United States ent- ered the world war, the average ad- vanced to $22.58, or $6.14 in two years. ' By far the greatest gain in one year in average value per acre for 10 crepe was $10.69-‘from 1918. be 1917, the average for the latter year being $33.36. The average for 1.13 was $38.73.

F. Warren and W. F. Callander'of the _ , United “States Department of Agriculture, recent- ly'returned from the study of agricultural and market» conditions in Europe. Germany alone requires 2,000,000 tons of imported foods before ’ [the next harvest.- Czecholevakia, Austria, Italy and France are also looking to America for huge quantities to supplement their own supplies. The severe drought that occurred in Europe last spring came after the rye and. wheat crops ‘ were out of danger. ' shine, coupled with s‘ufllcient moisture in the soil to ripen these crops resulted in excellent yields, declares Dr. Warren, but barley and oats were generally damaged and corn, potatoes, sugar beets and fodder crops suffered most of all. For example, in Germany the wheat yields per acre were 20 per cent above those 1 1920, while po- tato yields per acre were per cent less than year beio're last. In Hungary the wheat yield per acre was 14.4 bushels in 1920 and 17.5 bushels last year. But the “yield of potatoes per, acre was 121.2 bushels year b‘etore last and 66.7 bushels last year. Corn yielded _24.9 bushels per acre year before last and 13.6 bushels last year. The drought damaged pastures crops to such an extent that in some countries live stock was sold on! as a result. Such sales 1‘ tended further to depress the meat markets. The drought » also delayed the muting of winter wheat 7mm the late rains'cameg The area seed- ‘ ed was reduced and in much of Europe the sow- ing was done after the best date ilor seeding, so / I that the crop this year will be injured unless the winter is very favorable. SURPLUS-PRODUCING oou-fimms Roumania’s exportable surplus will probably be less than 300,000 tons, reports L. G. Mich- eels, who is making similar studies tor the De- partment” of Agriculture in that country. This SMALL AND eunenthusiastic crowd of beet growers met at‘ Saginaw Honday, Jan. 23rd, to discuss the pressing prob facing their in- dustry. The sugar beet territory was fairly wail rapresented and delegates spoke with knowledge and authority of the opinions of their constitu- ents as to what should constitute the basis for turther relations with the manufacturers. De- \ spite the indifference or the manufacturers who are making it to appgar as usual that they. are not anxious for acreage, there was grim deter- mination on" the part of the delegates not to let the exigencies of the present situation blind them , . to their rights. ‘On the contrary, the beat price outlookds so discouraging that many of the best growers. have resigned themselves to the pros- pect of turning to other crops, recognizing that it is easier for them to grow other crops than it is for the manufacturers to make other products. V The general sentimentxo/t the meeting was con- servatism and fairness. The growers realize that .. the manutacturershave been obliged to yield ~Jdiscards to them and that now they hold the upper hand and are in a position it they will but 'etickrtogether to force the to recognize their rights. In (act, the growers formulated no plans fer approaching the manu- tacturers this year, although they arrived at a luntative‘ understanding sum might be , .~ ' ' Mable-to them. and will-let the I N $113 first/HWW-Wm at , j or: left, as snub, tin 3"“‘r' i?” is; «no. :4 In fact the abundant sun- - and fodder ' 1;, v, pe’s Need for Food‘creatly Underestim‘c’l I ‘ Se, . u. S; Department of'Agriculture 311wa Many Countries have Greater DeficienCies than Expected would indicate that earlier suppositions that the Roumanian surplus would be an . important source of supply for Europe are no longer ten-‘ able. Great difficulty is being experienced in Roumania, writes Mr. Michaels, in concentrat- ing this small surplus because of shortage of cars, price fixing, and governmental conditions. The corn crop is much below that of 1920 and is barely sufficient to supply the needs of the people of Roumania. _ * Hungaria ofiicials stated in November that per- mits had been issued for the exportation of 100,- 000 tons of wheat flour. Later the amount was somewhat increased. It is doubtful, however, ’ whether this amount will actually leave the coun- try, as the Danube, the principal outlet, is frozen over and there is a serious short-age or cars. The Polish grain crops were much better last year than those of 1920 and permits were issued in .the fall forvthe exportation of 60,000 tons of rye and barley. Little progress has been made, however, and it is doubtful whether Poland will be a significant factor in the export situation this year. It is even possible that imports will be re- quired before the next harvest. rm A SUGGESTION FROM TENNESSEE Em EDITOR: I have Just read your opinion to a Cass county potato pro- ducer who could not get 75 cents a bushel for his potatoes now while we are paying $2.40 per bushel at the retail stores here. I do not believe it will cost $1.65 per bushel freight from there to this place. Why doesn’t your Farm Bureau get busy and ship that poor man’s pota- toes down here?—Chas. H. S‘anford, Mc- Ewen, Tennessee. m year be written on a 60450 basis, and that each beet grower receive onehalf of the sugar which is made from his beets. Mr. McBrid intimated that such‘an arrangement might m t with the approval of the manufacturers. however, frowned upon any plan for a fixed di- vision of the sugar, feeling‘that they are not enough acquainted as yet with the difference be- tween current costs of producing beets and mak- ing sugar to take an intelligent action looking , to an even split. It the 50-60 division does not give the manufacturers the lion’s share of the profits they are willing to accept such an ar- rangement, but if itdoes they are not. The tariff came up for discussion. A letter was read from Congressman John Ketchum urg- ing that the convention adopt strong resolutions The delegates, r ’ at at; or my; _ firms“; 3. m All of these countries combined will- ’ very small part in the export situation this Although the production of wheat and m Europe in 1921 was much above 1920, a amount of grain must be imported before nex t harvest. The consumption of the new m began a month earlier than usual; the fodd ‘ root and potato crops are smaller than lieu ' i the condition of the fall-sown crop of wheat rye is not satisfactory so that the fariners inclined to hold over someroi’ this year’s crop, COUNTRIES WITH A DEFICIT . The countries in Europe that are importing" must continue to import grain are: The U 'v Kingdom, the Scandinavian countries, Czech slovakia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerlani and France.

When the, dropped so low in value the German.govsr‘ ' . delayed its purchases of grain waiting .10! hoped-for improvement in the exchange " ; One of the primary factors in the wheat J j tion is the ability of Germany and Austria ‘ buy. On December 1 the needs of Czechoslovakia were stated by officials to be 250,000, tons. Ans" tria needed to import around 50,000 tons ofi " grain a month for the balance of last year The needs of France will be dependent on the; amount held by farmers but probably an’ impo tation of half a million tons will be required. is stated that Italy will need about 1,000, tons in addition to her own crop in order to nish a normal supply to her people.

C; . ‘deIl-np 14 linel to The column ', Cane Refiners vs. Beet Producers HE REFINERS of Cuban cane sugar *5; j and the domestic producers of beet su- gar have locked horns in a gigantic tariff struggle. The refiners want cheap raw sug- ar. They make their. money in refining, not _ in producing. The higher the tariff the high- er the price they have to pay for raw sugar ' and the harder the competition with the do- mestic producer. The domestic producer on the other hand must be able to charge a price ' which will permit paying the farmer a fair . price for his beets. Otherwise the farmer will have to close his plants. Unless Cuban raw sugar is forced to pay a tariff it can be r, refined and sold for less than the product of i the beet sugar factories. Consequently our tarifl? 7, making bodies are besieged with peti- , tions from two branches of the sugar indus- m» (.try, each seeking the opposite thing. ” - While a high protective tariff will not ab— solutely guarantee a fair price to domestic beet grOWers because they have never had ,—;anything to say about the price, it will put the manufacturers in a position to pay a fair price if they want to. Therefore, the j domestic beet grOWers should insist upon a i, Which will oifset the lower cost of pro- ';“"'ducing cane sugar. ' 'On the other hand, this tariif should not’ be too high. At the very best the number of fy‘jpjeople who receive a benefit from a high tar- arc very small compared to those who have 11:0 finally pay the tariif. Therefore, the exact {Vinniount of the tariff is the difficult problem which the present congress will have to struggle. i" discussing the tariif question a repre- v fientatiVe of the cane refining interests writes Street Journal that the beet sug- ‘T‘ar are only paying the penalty/of .'pvcr:capfitalization and otherwise would not gneedthe protection they ask. .He says: ' "The losses of the sugar manufacturers have not been incurred in operations, but are rather -due to enormous shrinkage in inventory values. In this they are no exceptions to other manu- facturing companies. “During the past years under one cent protec- , tion against Cuba, these beet companies, as well ' as those of Porto Rica and Hawaii, have pros- pered and paid very satisfactory returns to their stockholders, and with a return to normal con- ! .

The Business Farmer is a ,firm believer in the” principle of retaining good men. in Chico irrespective of their political faiths, but remembering Mr. Merrick ’5 defense of usury, it secretly rejoiced when he was obliged to give up the reins of hisoffice to an- other and better man. “I do not consider that $100 is too much for a banker to charge for negotiating ‘a loan of $1200”, said Banking Commissioner Mer- rick three years ago in the presence of Gov. Sleeper and the editor of this publication. He was speaking in defense of twelve, fifteen and twenty per cent interest which was then and still is charged by some banks. The scene changes. Another man is govern- or of Michigan. Another man is banking commissioner. The subject is the same, usury. The editor of the Business Farmer sits in the Governor’s office seeking his aid in improving the agricultural , credit situation and wiping out usury. The Governor is in- dignantp He speaks his mind freely and se- verely condemns the bankers pwho are charg- ing farmers more than the legal rate of inter est. "Banking Commissioner McPherson speaks: ‘ “There is no excuse for usury in Michigan and this department will not permit it. There is plenty of money to be had toloan to farmers who are entitled to it at the legal rate of interest. [Show us the banks who are charging more and this department pwill act to discourage them.” of Mr. Sleeper ’5 Do We Need More Land? _ OW AND then the question comes up, “Do we need mere land?” Would the welfare of the nation be advanced if the mil- lions cf cut-over, arid and swamp lands were reclaimed and set to work‘ producing food? It would not. The bringing under cultivation of a few hundred additional acres of land here and there cuts little figure in the total production figures but the adoption of a large land. settlement policy by a number of states or the federal government would have a disastrous influence upon crop prices. We have learned that it takes only a small surplus of any one crop to .wipe out the profiton that and kindred crops as well, and the wisest policy is the one which will prevent that sur- plus being produced so far as possible. N Asked if the intelligent use of land includ-‘ ed a policy of bringing under cultivation land which is now idle because of its aridity or unsuitability for cultivation, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace replied, that in his opin- ion, “it would be just as unwise to bring .land under cultivation when we do not need it as it is unwise not to bring it under culti- vation when we do need it.” f.- _' I There was a time in the history ’of this _ country when more cultivated “land was ‘ur-~ gently needed.

Forty-nine per cent say it is not. This is a good joke on the medical profes- I sion. We simple-minded, superstitious, 'pain- dreading and death-fearing folks who take all our aches and to the doctors and pin our faith to their prescriptions are shocked to. learn that there is any sham about their flaunted wisdom. Whiskey has been ‘used for generations as a therapeutic agent. Medical science has had ample opportunity to prove beyond doubt its w0rth or worthless: neg. But» after hundreds of centuries of ' doping~ their patients with alcohol the doctors split in twain upon the question. The truth of thematter probably is that a large percent of the doctors who voted against V the use of whiskey are recent converts, and that as the years, go by and public opinion continues to assert itself against the. use of alcohol, more amhmore medical men ad- mit their error and accept other agents in the place of whiskey. Ten years ago the medi- cal profession was almost a unit in proclaim- ing the necessity of whiskey and in prescrib- ing it in certain cases. ' ' Another thing revealed by the reports is - that doctors are not slaves to cold logic and. scientific? findings, as many people have sup- posed, but are swayed quite as much by‘their personal prejudices as are other people. Without exception, the verdict of the doctors varied in direct proportion to the prohibi- tion sentimenQ of 'the localities in which they lived. For instance, the majority ‘ ,of‘city doctors favored whiskey, while the majority of rural doctors opposed it. The majority or, ,A Good Joke 6n the 3 the doctors offtwenty states, most. of. which are well-known for their wet leanings,~ voted for whiskey, while the majority of the doc- tors of twenty-eight states, equally as: “Well. known for their dry leanings, voted, against 1t. Jersey City and Scranton, Pa, were the only two cities in the countries where a ma- jority 0f the doctors voted that beer was a necessary therapeutic agent. It is needless to say that both cities in, question are notor- iously “wet”. ' . ' ' The Demogogue WHO espouse the popular " cause are sometimes called “demagogs”. When a man assumes to speak for the' few, but favored, he is held sincere, but when he speaks for the struggling masses, his motives - are assailed and’he is *accused of “playing to the, galleries”,.. or striving for political gain;- Sen.

I Genesee county farmer gave his views on consolidated schools to‘which I agree in every point raised. Our papers and magazines are filled with urging for a greater commu- nity spirit, but is there any factor more conducive to this spirit than the country school? What memories of meetings in them come to all of us who received their early training there. Will our parents now need to run to a nearby city or village to meet their neighbors? I challenge the Hon. Thomas E. Johnson to show a single instance Where country children have fallen below their city competitors in their mental, physical or moral standards. If we can get honest men into our political ofl'ices it will go along way towards cleaning out this camou- flage of advancement. - Voters!

TIDE MOUTH, THE GATEWAY F THE EYE is the gateway of'the soul, then the mouth is the gateway to health. Too little attention is ever paid to mouth cleanliness, sometimes thru lack of understanding, sometimes good dentistry comes high. How- ever, sickness is even more expen- because " sive and frequent trips to the den-, tist are in the end a saving. A good dentrifice and mouth wash will help to keep away trouble. I am .going to give you a simple and cheap per- scription for each, these used twice daily, with the use of dental floss after every meal, will surely help to keep away tooth trouble. Let the children be as familiar with' the tooth-brush as they are with the spoon. They will thank you later. For a tooth powder: Equal parts of rock salt pounded fine and rolled, mixed with common baking soda. = For a mouth wash: Buy five cents worth of potassium per- mangate, cover a silver dime with it and add to 16 ounces of water which has been boiled twenty minutes, add five cents Worth of glycerine, shake well and let stand over night in a. bottle, then put thru a. clean linen cloth'and it is ready for use.

' The banquet put on byline Slim-thorn Breeders‘ Association Thursday evening, January 12. in the Kesrns hotel at Lan- sing, was one lot the 'most enthusiasfic breed meetings ,that was ever held in the state. The program was arranged and conducted by President George A. Prescott and J. L. Tormey, of the Ameri- can Shorthorn Breeders Association, the latter acting as toastmaster. , The princi- g1 speech of the evening was delfvercd Editor Kellogg of the Lansing State Journal.._Mr. Kellogg. While he dis- claimed all technical knowledge of cattle. proved conclusively, that he understood the fundamentals of} success in m don with breed promotion work. The meeting was also addressed by Andy Adams of Litchfleld: Hugh McPherson. state bank commissioner: H. H. Mack. or Rochester and S, H. Panghom. of Bad Axe. ' The Holstein cotw, as usual. occupied the center of the stage in the dairy di— vision at Lansing. All soliciting {of are musineeeting of this association were well» attended and the’pmgram was a. meritorious one. The banquet. on Tm day evenmg, Jan. 11, was attended by tbsn 150 people. more The star speaker at the occasion was D. D. Aitken, of Flint. There are few men in the state who are as well equirmed as Mr. Al to discuss flolstein . past ' present, and to blaze a. trail for the future, Hereford breeders made their nresence felt at Lansing and the enthusiasm which they showed sugars well for the future of thcwhitefaces in Michigan: more than 40 men attended the annual meeting and n definite plan for future breed primro- tion was worked out. With a. hustler like Tom Sotham at the helm it will be very hard to beat the Herefords out of all the money. The Aberdeen Angus breeders of the state came together in normal numbers for" their annual meeting and outlined a. program for the future work in a con- nection with the state association. One of the most important actions ‘taken at this meeting was the appointment of a. committee on future legislation to exert an influence with the next legislature to secure the» enactment of a law abolish- ing the scrub sire: this question of giv- ing the“'dunghill” bull his quietus. in Michigan, came 1m frequently in connec- tion with the deliberations of the various breed meetings at mushy: and ever-y moment made no in its mm. __nnor {recurs KENT—Fine winter Weather. on snowing a little but not frozen hard.

Kerr, Bay County, Mieh. , ; You are not “the only one. good friend, who is struggling with the problem or alien tongues and customs. Thousands of English born people have, like your- eeli. settled in comn'mnities which have in time become predominatly v Polish, Hungariam- German or some other for- eign nationality. We ha found in the , however. that the average alien - ' who- settles upon the land guns-e providing he receives the right kind of instruction and encouragement. Unfortlmately his churchis not as he a as it might be to teach, him the language of his adopted countries. And we cannot help but feel that our good Catholic and Lutheran blends are over] 113 a fine opportunity to‘quiet bigoted criticism. in not educating their people more liberally in American instructions. Some of our finest citizens are Americanized Poles end 3. But under present con- ditions the process of Americanization is slow and inadequate. I do not know whether I have ever related the followint incident in these columns or not. Any- way, I am going to do so here. As I stood in a smelly. overcrowded room of the German consulate at Copenhagen waiting with a motely crowd of almost every nationality to receive the German wind or O. K. on my passport to enable me to go into Germany, my attention was filled to a young woman standing near whose dress was unmistaknb'l Ameri- can. Solessayedtoepeakto er. “Are you from America," I asked. She caught the word. “America.” and nodded, at the same time handing me her passport. or course, I was surprised and pleased to note that she was from Bay City. Michi- gn. Immediately. I began to talk to her, t she did not comprehend what I was saying. although her passport showed that she was born in the United States.“ Her.companion explained that she could not understand or talk a word of Eng- lish. I was dumbfounded—end mad. Here was a woman who had lived for twenty-three years within a hundred miles of my home town and knew no English. It didn't seem possible. and right then and there I began to perceive the magnitude of the Americanization {Leblam in the rural districts of my be- ed United States. I feel that it is a solemn duty upon every English speak- ing man and woman to take an interest in their alien neighbors and try patiently to teach them the language and customs of this country.

The industrial situation is much improved, many factories tak- ing on large forces; the general reel- ing, among manufacturers, every- where, is one of hepeiulness and cp-" . timism. Exactly the opposite was true one year ago when factories were closing and 'the army of the unemployed was increasing in size, rapidly, from week to week. That there is still much uncertainty is in— dicated by the wide fluctuations oi.’ the stock market and the conserva- tism indicated by the size of the orders traveling men are able to- get; these gentlemen report an elf-'- couraging increase in the volume of trade ever since they started, early in the spring. The enthusiasm and hopefulness, evidenced by the sales- men is, evi-dently one of the main causes for the growth of the trade. In late winter and early spring, the wholesale and retail lumber trade is one of the most reliabletin- dicators of increasing prosperity; that there will be an active build- ing campaign, next summer, in all of the large cities of the country, is foreshadowed by the rapidity with which dealers in all northern cities and towns, are stocking up. Easy money is assigned as one of the causes of the activity; the same condition, if it continues, will act as a stimulant to the house-building game. very day, as time goes on, the etc 1 industry shows marked im- provement. Orders for steel rails, are being filed by many of the rail? roads and many of the motor manu- facturing industries are taking time by the forelock and buying steel be- cause they believe that any change, in the immediate future, will be to- ward higher price levels.

A report on the actual stocks of wool in American ware- houses shows a 50 per cent decline, when compared» with the correspond- ing date, last year. The market has been strong and active, since considerable proportion 01 the the beginning of December, and a spring clip has already been con- tracted. Mi-l have been buying wool freely for a long time past and it is generally believed that nearly all have large supplies on hand. As the new year advances, con- fidence in the future of the stock and bond market is growing strong- er and trading, on the New York Stock Exchange, is broad and active with more than a million shares or stock changing hands in one day, quite oiten of late. Much of the midweek business on change Was transacted under intense excitement resulting 1mm rumors that were abroad concerning coming mergers in steel, copper and zinc. The large volume 0! business passing thru the exchange during the tore part of the week finally resulted in higher call money rates, a condition that put a check on buying and resulted in causing some sharp reactions. The opinion seems to be that an advance in all dividend-paying stocks, is just about‘ due. WHEAT Wheat gained from four to six cents per bushel last week.
