Zrlasted for four days. A total of 36

CO-OP HAS SUCCESSFUL YEAR
, HE PLAINWELL Farmers' Co-
operative Association, of Plain-
. well, Mich, has concluded a
satisfactory year despite the dificul-
ties which beset nearly all business
during that period. The aggregate
of the year's business in dollars and
cents was $102,271.58, of which
$41,210.08 represented live stock
sales. The association sells on ac—
count of its members all kinds of
farm produce and purchases for
them coal, bran, middlings, cotton
seed, oil meal, flour, binder twine,
clover and timothy seed, and all
kinds of chicken feed. The associa-
tion paid 10 cents a bushel more for
rye than the local dealers and also
 sold feed, flour and coal at lower

(BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT)

" first real, honest-to-goodness Agricultural
conference ever held in the United States.
was given the center of the stage at the Na-
tional Capital last week. Other conferences have
been held at the Capital City, ’tis true, but they
'were not of the same “blown-in—the-bottle” var-
iety. For, mark you, the suggestion that such
a conference be held originated with the presi-
dent, was by him transmitted to the secretary
of Agriculture and, thru Mr. Wallace, the invi-
tations were sent out. There was a general ac—
ceptance of the invitations and delegates came
a—running from every section of the country. In
fact the attendance Was so large on the open-
ing day that official Washington sat up and took
notice. It was plainly apparent early Monday
morning that the powers that be wondered if
after all, the invitations had not been too gen—
eral; and those in charge of the coral felt a lit-
tle alarmed, as they looked over and under the
fence, lest there might be too many bucking
bronchus for the eastern herders to handle.
However, their discomforture was soon dis-
pelled, for as the delegates came one by one for
their badges, it was easy to determine that their
mission in Washington was indeed a peaceful
one, and their willingness .to attend was be-
cause of their desire td aid, if possible, in any
measure which would better conditions among
the farmers they had been called to represent.
The. conference was opened. according to
schedule by Secretary Wallace, who very Ell"-
cessfully “roped” the delegates—and many there
were who had come to Washington with the

A expectation that they could march right up the

hill where congress is in session, lay their de-
sires and demands before that august body,-and
march down the hill again with the bacon in their
possession. ’

"Constructive effeort,” said the
“should be made in three fields:”.

First—What may be done, properly thru legislative
action?

Second—What may be done thru administrative and
educational effort, national and state, by the various
agencies charged with the duty of fostering agriculture?

Third—What may and should be done by the farmers
themselves, individually and thru their organizations.”

And then came the inspiring announcement that
the chairman of the conference had been named;
that the subjects for discussion had been out-
linei, that committee chairmen and secretary
had been named and the delegates assigned to
the several committees. It was right at this
point that the delegates realized they had ac-
cepted an invitation from the president of the
United States and the secretary of agriculture;
that they were there to be entertained; that
everything had been outlined and planned in ad-
vance and all that was necessary on their “part
was to feel right at home and have a conference.

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS

President Harding addressed the delegates at
the opening session and it goes without saying
he made a favorable impression. In referring
to the-agricultural industry he said: “An in—
dustry more vital than any other, in which nearly
half the nation’s wealth is invested, can be re-
lied upon for good scourity and certain :eturns,”
declaring that in the matter of what may be
called fixed investment capital, the disadvantage
of the farmer so impressed public opiniOn that
the Federal Farm Loan .Board was established.

‘The co-operative loaning associations of Europe
have been effective incentives to united action by farm-
ers,” he continued, “and have led them directly into
m-operation in both production and marketing which
have contributed greatly to the stabilization and pros—
perity of agriculture."

"The depressions and discouragements," he contin—

secretary,

. nod, "are not peculiar to agriculture, and I think it

fair to say there could have been no avoidance of a
eat slump from wartime excesses to the hardships

. of readjustment. We can have no helpful understand—

ing by assuming that agriculture enters alone, but

MICHIGAN-MEN wno‘ WERE THERE

There were three hundred and forty-
eight delegates present at the conference;
one hundred and sixty-two of these classi-
fied as real “dirt farmers.” The Michi-
gan delegation was made up as follows:

Tenant, Hale, extension ‘ specialist in
marketing, M. A. C. '

Cook, A. B., master, State Grange.

Slocum, Grant H., pres. The Gleaners.

Campbell, Milo D., president National
Milk Producers Federation.

must be ready to help himself. This conference would

‘ do most lasting good if it would find ways to impress

the great mass of farmers to avail themselvss of the
best methods. By this, I mean that, in the last.anal-
ysis, legislation can do little more than give the farmer
the chance to organize and nelp himself.”

Lack of eSSential information, he assorted. was one
of the most serious obstacles to a proper balancing of
agricultural production. All too frequently, he said,
such information is gathered by private interests,
‘those concern is private profit rather than the gen~
eral good."

“To this time railroad construction, financing and op—
eration,” the president added, “have been unscientific
and devoid of proper consideration for the wider con-
cerns of the community. To say this is simply to ad-
mit a fact which applies to practically evm‘y railroad
system in the world.”

"The conference was called.” the president reminded
the delegates, "with the aim to bring about ‘ " ‘
a general understanding of the critical situation now
confron‘ing American agriculture.” While undvrstand—
ing that the conference is not a legislnliw body, he
added, “we do confidently anticipate that the consid-
erations here had will be helpful and illuminating to
those immediately responsible for the formulation of
public policy in dealing with these problems.”

My Prize-Winning Rye

BOUT TEN miles west of the nearest point

0.. the Leclanau peninsula lies the tiny is—
land of South Manitou, under the political jur-
isdiction of the state of Michigan. Judging
from its appearance on the map South Manitou
cannot contain more than five or six square
miles. How much of this is arable and culti—
vated we do not know, but we do know that this
little isle has the distinction 'of producing the
rye which recently won highest honors among

» all competitors at the International Grain and

Hay Show.

Irving Beck is the name of the farmer who
grew! and exhibited this rye. In response to a let-
ter from the M. B. F. editor asking how his prize-
winning rye was produced, Mr. Beck replied as
follows:

“I am very much pleased that you have taken
the liberty of asking how my rye was produced.
This rye was growu on oat stubble land which
was fertilized at the rate of 500 pounds per acre
with the cats. After the cat crop was taken off
the land was plowed to; a depth of six inches the
Sept.
9th was seeded at the rate of 1—4 bushels of pure
Rosen rye, and ,on' Sept. 12th was rolled with pul-
verizer. _ All noxious Weeks were cut when rye
started to head.‘ Strict attention must be taken
of volunteer rye to see that it is cut as 3001 as
it starts to head. ‘If, there is any further inform-

" ation' Gives Ear to Problems of Agriculture

Washington Conference Without Concrete Results but; Paves Way for Better Understanding

‘

, to their hearts content, We are sure that every;

‘ .

States with reference to agricultural conditions. ’
If it is true that “misery likes company" there
will be a happy lot of agriculturists thruont the
United States after they read the reports from. v
the conference. Each and every section, without
a single exception, brought before the delegates
the gloomy aspects of the situation in their re-
spective localities. From the fruit growers of
California, the stock growers of the west, the
grain growers of the middle west, from the corn
belt, from the land of cotton, the fruit growers
of Florida, vegetable growers came the same old
story—prices of all products so low that it was
impossible to get the cost of production after
freight and express rates were deducted. There
was a general bowl from all sections with ref-
erence to freight rates, and yet, strange as it
may seem, the conference closed with the adop‘
tion of a few “pink tea” resolutions with ref-
erence to the transportation proposition and
with absolutely no channel opened thru which
even the resolutions passed could finally be
brought to the attention of congress.

The question of finances entered into the dis-
cussion of every subject and the cry for assist-
ance came from every quarter. The result was
more resolutions, more suggestions but without
decisive action or plane for following up the sug—
gestions and securing, if possible, immediate re-
sults along this line to rescue agriculture from
its present position.

There was a little flare in the peaceful scene
when J. M. Anderson, president of the Equity
(Jo—operative Exchange of Minnesota, declared
that the conference was not going to be "steam-
rolled” so far as he was concerned. He declared
his belief that American participation in the
economic rehabilitation of Europe is absolutely
essential to the solution of the agricultural
problems in this Country. “Better prices for agri-
cultural products" said he, “depend upon the
economical recovery of the country. There are
plenty of customers for our surplus crops in-
Europe but they cannot pay for them.” Mr. And-
erson made a splendid address and brought out
Some vital points in connection with the present
situation but, when‘he left, the platform, the mat-
ter was forgotten.

Now let us turn to the more pleasing aspect
of the conference. It would have certainly done
your heart good to have seen the one hundred
and sixty—two “Farmers” at the White House
reception, mingling with the “na-bobs" and’
proxy farmers as they pranced around in their
“claw—hammers.” 'However, everyone seemed to
be right at home, not in the least concerned about
the manner of dress or the proper method of lin—
ing up to meet the president. An invitation had
been received direct from President and Mrs.
Harding ;the White House was thrown open and
everybody made to feel right at home. In the
receiving line were President. and Mrs. Harding,
Secretary of the Navy, Denby and Mrs. Denby,
and Secretary Wallace and Mrs. Wallace.

You would like to know, the writer feels sure,
just how a “teller” feels when he enters the .
White House and gets in line to greet the men
who are at the head of the greatest nation on
earth. Let this be said to the eternal credit of
the Harding administration: The president and
his good wife and those associated with him ap-
preciate the fact that they are servants of the
people and it was clearly evident on this state oc-
casion that their hearts beat in sympathy with
the interests of what we choose to call the “com-
mon people.” In no other country on earth
could the people, representingall classes, come so
closely in touch with their rulers. “Bill and John,
and Sam” marched right into the White House
looked over the reception room, laughed and
talked about things in general, finally passed
thru the receiving line and shook hands with;
these dignitaries, then took part in the serve-self
lunch in the dining room, listened to the wonder?
ful Marine Band and, after looking and visiting

one felt like saying“‘good-night, Warren, ‘
had ai‘ral’ good time. If you're ever out: "
come and-see us."  ‘  #5.?“

‘14: j . BEGINS to appear that the politicians and

moneyed interests of Wayne county intend' «to

carry out their threat to get absolute control of

the state government. The attOrney general has
recently approved the form of an amendment
which if adopted will give Wayne county'one-half
as much representation in the state legislature
as is now held by all the other eighty-two coun-
ties combined, and will place the balance of legis-
lative power in the hands of a half dozen Michi-
gan cities. ‘ \

‘It was at first thought that the threat to force
rural Michigan into political serfdom was noth-
ing but the mouthing of an over-zealous politi-

>""cian and Would not be taken seriously by the

sober minded people of Detroit. But there can be
no longer any question but what the vicious
proposal has the approval if not the active sup-
port of a large group of supposedly intelligent
Detroit citizens.

Even a paper so fearful of agrarian domination
as the Detroit Saturday Night makes no secret

- of its willingness to help fan the flames of sec-

tional distrust and goad the farmers to retalia-
tion. In a recent issue‘it took the Business
Farmer to task for raising its voice against

. Wayne county’s iniquitous scheme and warning

the farmers of the danger that threatens their
political rights. Said the Saturday Night:

"Wayne county now contains approximately 33 1—3
per cent of the population of Michigan. holds a fraction
more than 7 per cent of the seats in the Michigan
house of representatives, and pays something more than
40 per cent of the state taxes of Michigan. Because
Wayne county at last shows some symptoms of revolt
against this obvious injustice the Michigan Business
Farmer warns its followers that if Wayne has her way
‘the balance. of power in the Michigan state legislature
will pass from the hands of the rural districts into the
hands of the cities.’ To prevent this catastrophe to the
ruling farmers of Michigan the Michigan Business
Farmer calls them to the colors in this language:

“ ’Peeved because the state board of equalization
boosted Wayne county’s valuation to within a few mil—

lions of where it belongs, her politicians have announced .

that they will submit an amendment to the constitution
which will increase Wayne county’s representation in
the lower house of the legislature from 14 to approxi-
mately 30 members.’-

“This appeal itself needs amendment. Wayne county
is peeved because she believes the assessed valuation
of other counties was not 'boosted’ in proportion to her
own.

“Wayne county is peeved because when the state \

treasury had to meet a deficit it was levied exclusively
on business corporations, on which she lives.

“'Wayne county is peeved because the farmers in con-
trol of Michigan’s legislature are forcing the submis-
_sion of a constitutional amendment levying an income
tax that will fall almost exclusively on persons, firms
and corporations belonging to Michigan cities,

“This tax was devised by farmers to relieve farmers
of taxes on their property and transfer the cost of state
government to business and industry. ‘ ' ‘

"It was brought forth at‘a time When business and
industry were praying for relief from federal income
taxes and struggling to get on their feet.

“It is being promoted at a. time when the federal gov-

— Wayne County Pushes scheme; to "R'bb   

.the 1010 census: 1  Saturday-Night admits, a

By'raErEnI‘TOR

ment has plainly. indicated that heavy federal income
taxes must be levied for some yearsto come. ‘ ‘ ‘ I

"Here are reasons enough, surely, why Wayne county
should demand in the making of tax laws 8. representa-
tion commensurate with her population. if not witlrher
contributions to the state treasury. _

“The constitutional amendment which Wayne county
is preparing to ask is the abolitionpf the moiety clause,
which guarantees every county 3. whole representative
if it has only population enough for half of one. The‘
Michigan Business Farmer would retain the moiety
clause ‘to 'prevent the large industrial centers from

. usurping the political rights of the smaller oommuni—‘

ties.’ It has no complaint to make whatever about the
smaller communities usurplng the rights of the larger
industrial centers for the past 10 years. The courts
found the reapportionment act of 1913 unconstitutional.
and no attempt has been made. by the legislature to cure
that act in the meantime. Wayne county is still limit-
ed to -the number of representatives and senators al-
lowed to her under the antiquated act of 1906, and will
be so limited until the legislature acts in 1923. and acts
constitutionally. Any usurpation about that?

“The Michigan Business Farmer will quite probably
be able to rally enough of the rural rulers to retain the
moiety clause in the constitution and we suppose

\ Wayne ought to be' very grateful if they do not attempt

to maneuver her out of the increase of representatives

from 14 to between 20 and 25 to which the Michigan

Elusiness Farmer admits she is now entitled under that
ause." ’

Saturday Night, it is noted, has no scruples
against leading its readers to believe that rural
Michigan is to blame for Wayne’s small represen-
tation. It does not consider itself bound by the
rules of. ethics or morality to stress the fact that
it was not the legislature but the supreme court
that was responsible for Wayne not getting her
constitutional share of representation based on

legislature, indubitably agrarian» in character; ,

sought to “increase 'Wayne’s representation, but '

the supreme court rescinded the law. Ifnc legis-
lature since then. has sought to enact another
law to give Wayne the representation to which
she is entitled it is certainly not the faultot the-
farmers of the state‘, but of her own representa-
tives. Wayne county has always had encugh
power in the legislature to get‘ anything she nut. ,
ed within reason, and had she desired the 'num-
ber of representatives which the constitution
guarantees her all she needed to do was to say
so. We have never heard anyone deny Wayne
county her constitutional» rights, and when the ‘
editor of Saturday Night accuses the rest of
Michigan of “usurping” these rights he is talk
ing through his silk hat. -
Taxation is admitted to bathe ‘crux of Detroit’s

rebellions-against the moiety clause of the con- A

stitution. She does not want the rest of the state
to have the power to say what she shall be taxed.
for state purposes. She doesvnot even want a.
fair division’of legislative authority, as contem-
plated bythe constitution. What her politicians
are after is undisputed domain over all branches
of the state government so that Detroit's enor-
mous wealth may continue to dodge the tax as-
sessor. It is not to be supposed that the moneyed
men of Detroit will contribute one nickel more
to the support of the state than they have to,
for that is not the way of the rich. They can
pay fabulous prices for crown jewels, pleasure
yachts, winter homes in California and advertis-
ing space in the Saturday Night, but they rebell,
when it comes to paying their share of taxes.

“Here are a few facts for our insurgent urban—
ites to keep in mind: .

1‘. No state has ever let one city control
either branch of the legislature. 

2. Twenty-«three states have county repre-
sentatives. '

3. Twelve states limit their big cities in both
branches of the legislature. ' ‘
4. Nineteen counties in Michigan have no
representation except in conjunction with some
other county. ‘ '
Wayne county should not get the notion into
her head that she can march to Lansing and put.
' her paws on the state capital
without encountering resist-
ance. New York and Illinois-

Plans for such an exchange have been de-
veloped through the Wayne County Farm
Bureau as a result of the efforts of its secre-
tary, r. J. W. Carmichael, who has realized for
a long time the farmer’s needs for better mark-
eting facilities in Detroit and other Michigan
cities. Mr. Carmichael’s original plans called
for the organization of the exchange by the sev-
eral county farm bureaus in the Detroit area.
But on, account of the difi‘icultyof financing it
was later decided to ask the State Farm Bureau
to establish such an exchange as a serv1ce de-
partment. .

At a recent meeting held in Detroit, presided
over by Mr. M. L'. Noon, vice-president of the
State Farm Bureau, and attended by represen-
tatives from Monroe, Washtenaw, Oakland, Ma—
comb, St. Clair, Huron, Saginaw, Jackson, Ing—
ham, Lapeer, Tuscola and Wayne counties, the
stamp of approval wasplaced upon the project

and all that remains for the culmination of the .

.plan is the O. K. ofthe new executive committee
to be elected at East Lansing this week.

Most farmers who have shipped much stufl to
commission firms are fairly familiar with ,the

  

ing their full : re- ‘

not sell it at a satisfactory price. But in al-
together too many instances, dishonest firms
plead poor quality and glutited markets when
they have no right to do so and pocket 3. good
deal of the’ profit that should go to tho consig-
nor. Then, too, there are commission firms who
are down—right thieVes and make no returns
whatever dependingupon the farmer’s, isolation
and his ignorance 'of legalprocedure to protect
them from prosecution. .

»To innumerable requests received at the Busi-
ness Farmer’s office for the names of reliable
commission firms, we have been obliged to give
the same answer—“we cannot refer you to a
single commission firm in Detroit Whom we know
to be absolutely reliable.” And the reason is
that there are few commission firms in the city
against Whom this publication has not received
from one to a score of complaints.

Not only will the new produce exchange in-
sure fair dealing with the farmer but it will pro-
vide him with an efficient selling organization,
storage facilities, market information, etc., at a
minimum cost. It will not try to sell direct to

the consumer but it will sell-direct to the corner

grocery store and save from one to three com-
missions that now go to needless jobbers. The
farmer who ships eggs to Detroit seldom gets
'more than 50 or"60 per cent, of the price the con-
sumer pays. For the past few} weeks, for in-
stance, .farmers have been ‘selliugéeggs fer any-

‘consum that! been paying 1

in the summer and hold them for the fancy wine
ter prices. For the time being the exchange will
own no storage facilities of its owu but will rent
storage space for the benefit of its patrons. The
City of Detroit has condemned a large tract of ‘

land near the eastern market at acost of over»

$400,000 and will erect thereon a huge cold
storage plant space in which will be rented ,to all
who apply. Itis stated that eggs can be kept
in storage for six months at a cost of not to ex-
ceed 5 cents per dozen, which is negligible com-
pared to the extra value of the eggs during the
period of scarcity. Thaquestion of financing
eggs placed in storage has not yet been fully de-
termined, but that some plan will be worked'out
whereby money can be advanced to owners of
eggs held in storage pendingtheir sale, is be-
lieved by those in charge of the plans.

The exchange will do a regular commission
business and the amount of its commission will
represent the actual cost of doing business.

For the time being, as .stated above, the ex~
change’will operate as a service department of
the Farm Bureau, as'the seed department now'
operates. When it . has become sufliciently 
strong, however, to stand on its own feet, it will
be transformed into a commodity organization,
amuated with the State Farm Bureau in the
’same manner as the potato growers’ exchange:

  :r~letter"‘=to x the 'COmmitteJ'-_of

well-known New York banker and economist,
proposes in substance that a group of represen-
tatives of the farmers meetl'with a group of rep—
resentatives of business and capital in order that
whatever.misunderstanding there exists may be
wiped out and, that they may work together for
‘ the" benefit and prosperity of the. county.

.Mr. Kahn’s suggestion points to a decided
change in attitude'on the art of big business int-
erests toward the farmer. Heretofore, that atti-

tude has been one of” indifference if not actual ‘

antagonism. The farmer has been made to feel
and, wit]. good reason, that Wall Street was his
enemy and oppressor. If -Wall Street and the
commercial worldof which it is an agent have
learned .the close relationship between agricul-
tural and national prosperity, then perhaps this
period of agricultural depression has not been
altogether in vain. But MrnKahn and‘the great
interests for. which he speaks must show by
their deeds as'well as their words that they are
honestly interested in the farmer’s welfare be-
fore the farmer can be convinced.

“It is of great importance,” says Mr. Kahn,
“that the attitude of business toward the farmer
should be correctly taken and correctly under-
stood. .

“The most essential thing for'all. our people
torecognize is that. in the last analysis, we are
all in the sameboat and sink or swim together.

MUST \' PULL TOGETHER FOR PROSPERITY

“There is no adequate economic reason, not—
withstanding the huge waste and destruction
wrought by the late war, why the world, and
particularly this favored country, should not now
resume the road of prosperity, but in order to
do so we must take a hard pull all together, we
must give full and free scope to the forces of
energy and enterprise. instead. of cramping,
shackling and hampering them, and we must let
ourselves be guided by the tested lessons of
economic'truths instead of giving ear to plaus-
able fallacies, or permitting ourselves to be led
into precipitate actionsunder the influence of

/

temporary cénditions. _

“Every right-minded business man must be
desirous to have the legitimate grievances of the
farmer—and he has, and» long has had such—re-
dressed and remedied. Justice demands that
this should 'be done. The larger interests of the
nation demand it, for it is'harmful and menac-

ing to the commonwealth that so'numerous and '

so valuable a portion of the population should

feel discontented and resentful and be without
prosperity. _The enlightened selfishness of busi—

ness requires it, for not only does the material
well-being, or the reverse, of the farmer largely

react upon business, but experience has shown

that when» the farming industry is in the throes

.of depression, the farmer is very apt to blame

. business and to hit out at business and to get
himself in a frame of mind which the .well-
meaning, self—deceived purveyor of political and

- economic nostrums or the cunning demagogu
'. are only too ready'to take advantage of.’

NOT A NEW IDEA

TTO H. KAHN’S suggestion that busi-
ness 'men and farmers bring their
problems to a conference table for
mutual, discussion and solution is not ori-
ginal. Three years ago there was brought
into being in this state a secret organiza-
tion of industrial heads called the “Coali-
tion Committee.” ‘ It was the avowed pur-
pose of this committee to carry on a pro-
paganda undei‘ the guise of “Americanizai
tion,” to “combat agricultural unrest” in
Michigan by teaching farmers that they
had no grievances and implying that ef-
forts to gain relief and recognition
through _ organization and legislation
would be‘ construed as “un-American,”
and a trespass upon the Constitution.
Learning finally of the activities of this
committee, and concerned as to the meth-
ods to be ‘employed in “combatting agri-
cultural unrest,” the editor of the Busi-
ness Farmer met with several of the mov-
ing spirit of the committee. At this
conference we pleaded with the committee
to disoontinue its deception propaganda
and its repressive measures and instead
invite in representatives of organized in-
dustry, labor and agriculture to discuss in
a friendly way their mutual problems.

' “If there is agricultural unrest in Michi-
gan,” we told these gentlemen, “you can-
not successfully combat or Cure it by
propaganda. You cannot convince intel-
ligent people that inequalities do not ex-
ist when they are everywhere apparent.
If you are sincere in your alleged desire to
alleviate unrest you can produce far more
satisfactory results by calling in represen- ‘
tatives of organized agriculture, labor and
capital for a friendly interchange of ideas.”

The suggestion did‘not appeal to them. '
They persisted in their propaganda. By
indirection they have sought to discredit
every worth-while effort advanced in
Michigan the last two years to secure re-
lief for farmers from profiteering, exces-
sive taxation and other burdens.

Counsel with the farmer? Perish the -

- thought! Counsel and arbitration implies
the willingness to concede something to
the other fellow. But the Coalition Com-
mittee has nothing to concede. If there
are any concessions to be made they want
the farmer and the laboring man to make
them. Hence, their “holier than thou”
propaganda instead of friendly conference
and compromise—Editor.

 

 

‘

“It is manifest that the representatives of
farming communities and state must know better
than most business men, and particularly busi—
ness men of the seat, what'ails the farmer. These
men are not only not to be criticized; on the
contrary, they are to be commended for using
their votes and their influence to get remedial

Eradication of bovine tuberculosis has pro-
ceeded rapidly in Michigan. During the year just

\thousands of head of pure-bred and grade dairy
cows placed in the accredited list. State and
federal funds to the extent of nearly $200,000
were paid out last year to indemnify farmers for
the loss of reactors. Several counties in the
state have' undertaken county—wide campaigns
against tuberculosis. Hillsdale county was the
first in the entire United States to make a farm—

farmer a square deal. To the extent that we:
business men are in disaccord with the agricul-f
tural leaders in and out of Congress, it is not
because of their efforts to promote the welfare
of the farmer, which efforts we cordially approve:
and'endorse, but because not a few of them seem-1
to be acting under the impression, incertain-‘r‘év.
spec-ts at least, that it is possible to aid some?
sections and callings of our common country '
hurting others.
“Granted that‘it be true that business in th‘
past has not been sufficiently considerate of, and:
interested in, the needs of agriculture, is that
any reason why agriculture should now take the
same regrettable and harmful attitude toward ~r
business? While “turn about is fair play,” it is '
by no means always the wisest and most efiective '
play. In the present stage of this nation’s and ‘ ,I
the world’s affairs, it is a kind of play which can 7;;
be indulged in only to the grave detriment of‘ all " '
concerned. . -
“Among the things which, as I understand it,
the farmer most needs, are more adequate fl- .
nancial f ‘lities and broader markets. Business I
can an should help to attain these things-for
him, bu the accomplishment of these objects has
been I ndered more diificult and uncertain by
the attitude which the legislative leaders of farm-
ing constituencies in the last congress took in
respect of tax revision, against the advice of
President Harding, one of the truest and wisest
friends the farmer ever had, and will be further
impeded and retarded if certain measures now
urged upon congress come to be enacted. I am
far from questiOning the ability, the worthy pur-
pose and well-meaning intent of those men. I do
venture to question whether, in their righteous
zeal to aid agriculture out of its present depres-
sion, they have given sufficient study and reflec-
tion to economic laws and economic history.
“Statistics over many years have demonstrated
strikingly that agricultural prosperity and busi-
ness prosperity, and agricultural depression and
business depression, run on parallel lines and are
largely inter-dependent. Unfortunately, that
truth has not been sufficiently recognized as yet
by either party. On the contrary, 'they have
usually been at loggerheads and pulling in di-
vergent directions, when, as a matter of fact,
they are natural allies and both have much to
gain from sympathetic understanding and co-
operation. 7
“So far from counselling an attitude of antag-
onism toward the farmers and their representa-
tives, I would advise that your committee en-
deavor to get into touch with the leading farm
organizations and representatives of agriculture,
with a View to establishing opportunities for
comparisons of views, leading, it may be hoped,
to an endeavor to agree upon wise and effective
lines of policy and action so as to promote the
essential and legitimate interests of agriculture
in the only way in which they can be promoted
lastingly. That way does not run along the lines
of class—selfishness or of antagonizing, and doing
hurt to, other interests equally essential and
legitimate. The true road can only be found by

lightened consideration for the general welfare}?

one month’s time a corp of federal veterinarians
tested every pure-bred and grade cow in the
county. Encouraged by the success which ac—
companied the work in Hillsdale, Saginaw county
supervisors made an appropriation for an intens-
ive drive in their county, and a similar campaign
is also under way in Kent. There will be not
let-up in the campaign against tuberculosis de-
spite the fact that the state appropriation is ex-
hausted. The state administrative board have
recommended continuance of the work and have . 
assured the bureau of animal industry that'funds - V ‘
will be forthcoming to pay for the reactors.  
Feeding methods have also improved wonder- I, 
fully in this state in the last several years, and
the M. A. C. has done excellent work through 
its various mediums of publicity and education - I;
to enlighten farmers upon the feeding and care "
of their dairy herds. As the prices of dairy, pro-t

MARRIAGE CONTRACT IS
BINDING

Is a. man legally married if the wife's
mother never marries .but simply lives
with a man and gives her two-year-old
daughter .the man’s name, and the girl
is married by that name? Is the man
who marries the girl rightfully married?
—-A Subscriber.

As marriage is a civil contract it
is the agreement of the person to
the marriage contract that makes a
valid marriage and not the name one

‘goes by in making the agreement.

The agreement is by the individual
and such an agreement constitutes
a valid marriage contract if other
things meet the requirements of the
law—Legal Editor.

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
There was a total eclipse of the sun
the first part of August and in the year
probably 1867 or ’68. The year and the
date I am not sure of, yet I want to
use it. It was probably the eighth or
the tenth of August and on a Saturday

afternoon—E. H. B., Ocedna County,
Mich.

There were 'three total solar
eclipses from 1868 to 1870. The

first of these was on Aug. 18, 1868,
observable in the Indian and Malay—
an peninsulas. The second was
Aug. 7th, 1869, when the moon’s
shadow lay diagonally across the
North American continent from
North Carolina to the Bering Strait.
The third was Dec. '22nd, 1870, the
moon’s shadow being observed in

the Mediterranean regions. It is
probably the second eclipse to
which you have reference. Aug 7,
1869, fell on Saturday—Editor.
FEEDING SILAGE
I would like to have you answer

through the paper whether you would
advise a. person to feed silage in winter
time to a young work team not doing
and work, and would you recommend
it fed daily or not. and how much—«D.
D., Harrisvillc, Mich.

Silage fed in quantities not to ex-
ceed 20 pounds per day, perhorse,
is a valuable addition to the ration
for young horses, especially when
they are not working. They some-
times need to be educated to eat it,
but when once learned they appear
to relish it and since it is succulent
helps to keep them in better condi—
tion—R. S. Hudson, Farm Superin—
tendent, M. A. C.

MAY SHIlT UP TRESPASSING
STOCK ‘

I am a reader of your paper and like
i‘; very much and am writing you for ad-
vice. I have been having trouble with
a neighbor all summer andfall of getting
him to keep his cattle at home. All sum-
mer they would be out most every day
and in the corn and this fall they turned
them out and they have an old fence but
the cattle can walk right through it. and
I tell them their cattle are out and they
get mad and just drive them back and
never fix up the fenco and in no time
they are out again; also their chickens

are on my lawn all the time, I have told

them to keep their chickens at home. Is
there a way to make them do it ?——M. C. T.

You have the right to shutrup the
animals that are trespassing uoovi
your premises. You should follow
the direction in Section 14,779 of
C. L. of 1915. One is obliged to
keep his fowls upon his own pre—
mises and if they escape therefrom
and do damage upon neighbors
premises the damage may be recov—
ered in a suit at law, if he can not
shut them up.———Lega1 Editor.

POTATO SCAB
Will you kindly advise through the
columns of the M. B. F. some successful
way to treat potatoes for scab. and
oblige?—-—A_ K., North Branch, Mich.
Potato scab can be controlled on
the seed by treating the whole seed
for thirty minutes in a solution of
corrosive sublimate, the strength of
which is four ounces of corrosive
sublimate crystals to thirty gallons
of waters The crystals should first
be disolved in about a quart of hot
water and this should then be added
to the thirty gallons.
Corrosive ‘sublimate

es;

. solution loses its strength and must,

be renewed. About twelve to fifteen
bushels of potatoes can be treated
with one thirty-gallon solution.

After the potatoes have been re-
moved from the solution they should
be spread out in a coOlwplace where
they will dry quickly. The corrosive
sublimate treatment not only con-
trols the potato scab but also the
scurf or rhizoconianmd is the treat-
ment generally recommended now in
this state. Ordinarily the scarf is
more serious than scab. One should
remember that corrosive sublimate
is a deadly poison and it must be
kept out of the reach of live stock
and children.

If the-potatoes are absolutely free
from the black scurf they can be
treated in a formaldehyde solution
for the control of scab. Soak the
whole potatoes to? thirty minutes in
a solution of»
strength of which is one pint of
formaldehyde to thirty gallons of
water. This material is easier to
handle than the corrosive sublimate
and does not lose its strength.

I suggest that you write to the
Michigan Agricultural College, East
Lansing, Michigan, for special bul-
letin' No. 85, which gives detailed
direction for making both the cor-
rosive sublimate and formaldehyde
mixtures—H. C. Moore, Extension
Specialist, M. A. C.

EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION
Recently you stated that Spanish-Amer-
ican war veterans were exempt from
taxes . Would like to know when this
law was passed and the proper way to
get this exemption. I have some property
in the southern part of this state, Can
I do this through the mails?—J. B., Tow-
er, Mich.

We respectfully direct, _ your at—
tention to Act 331 of the Public Acts
of 1919, para-graph 11 of which pro-
vides that certain ex-soldiers, in-
cluding those who served three
months or more in the Spanish-
American war, their -’ wives and
widows, shall be exempt from tax-
ation on property owned and occu-
pied by them as a homestead, to the
amount of 1,000; provided, how-
ever, that they are not the owners
of taxable property of great-er value
than $3,000.

The statute provides for appli-
cation for such exemptions by way
of affidavits properly sworn to and
filed with the supervisor or other
assessing officers, which affidavit, if
properly sworn to, may be sent by

mail to the supervisor or assessing 

officer to be filed in his Office—A.

- SAW DUST SUBs'rlrirrE

As sawdust is almost a thing of rthe
past in this part of the country am writ;
ing to ask your information for sdrne
substitute which could be used in 'the
keeping of ice. Could straw or chaff
or prairie hay be used? How should
the bottom of the ice hOUSe be prepared?
—Robt. M., Fairgrove, Mich.

Straw or chaff, if chopped into
lengths 1 to 3 inches long and
packed to a thickness of 12 to 18

inches all around the ice and on top
may be used as a substitute for saw
dust. However, this material is
more likely to rot and will probably
not last more than one season and
might have to be replaced On top
some time during the summer. It is
essential that ice house have good
drainage. If the floor is not porous
it should be filled in «with _6 to 12
inches of gravel and a tile outlet
laid in the gravel floor.——Floyd E.
Fogle, Ass’t. Prof. of Farm Me-
chanics, M. A. C.

A CASE FOR PROSECUTING

. ' , ATTORNEY

‘ Over a year ago the agent of an im-
pliment and hardware ~company, having.
three or four stores in other towns, came
through this territory selling common
stock at ’10 a share, saying they were
going to buy the village hardware store;
Also saying they'd pay 12 per cent and
farmers could get the money ‘back any
time, 100 cents to the‘dollar. Of course
many farmers wishing. a good store to
trade in and a garage. bought stock.
Hlundreds and! thousands of dollars
worth, 'giving their note. Then they did
not. buy the village hardware store, or
put up a garage either.» But he went to
work and rented the hardware store for
one year and when the year was around
he moved his goods all out to another
rented shop. ' _

They paid only two per cent dividend
so far and now they say they are almost
bankrupt. They send no statementi to
the stockholders of what was done with
the hard earned money. Now what can
the disappointed stock buyers do with
such a fellow? Would the Federal Trade
Commission of Washington look such a
fellow over?——Reader.

I am satisfied the Federal Trade
Commission has nothing to do with
the class of cases you describe. It
is possible, that [the seller of the
stock had no right to offer the same
under the laws of the state of Michi-
gan and may have committed a
criminal offence in selling the stock
and accepting any money thereon.
It is also possible that by the
method pursued he may be guilty of
false pre—
tences. ‘At- any rate I would be of
the opinion that he would be per-
sonally liable for the loss if he has
any property Whatever from which
it could be collected. I think you

‘ Tho I think “Uncle Rube” in his

reply to “Unfaithfulness” did not
show his usual fine discernment. It
is seldom one finds a mother who
goes astray. It is nothing the for a
father to follow a'pretty face and
trim form, forgetting that if said

two and form had passed thru the

mental and physical torture that the
mother of his children has, she
would not be so beautiful (1’) and
mother love will make any face, be
it ever so plain, more beautiful than
all the face lotions one could pos-
sibly use. Men (many of them) do
not even try to be faithful and it
rests with the mothers of men to
begin at the moment of conception
and pray constantly that their child
be it boy or girl, be filled with the
spirit'of honesty, nobility and the
beauty of holiness, wisdom, under-
standing and right judgment that as
men and women they be a blessing
to mankind and the world.

:TESTING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
‘I_Wish to know whether milk produc-_
ers-in Detroit area? or sending milk to
any creamery in Detroit, should have
his cows tested for, tuberculosis, or if
just the ones which 'he milks for his
own benhfit.—-J. P., Davisburg, Mich. ‘
f The law does not require the 'test-
ing of all cows for tuberculosis. Milk
sold to Detroit distributors must be
pasteurized before it can be sold to
the consumer. Pasteurization is
supposed to distroy whatever germs
may exist in the milk. The testing
of all cows is simply a matter of
health precaution which every farm-
er should take as. soon as possible.
Children who drink milk from cows
~which have not been tested are tak-
ing a chance of contracting tuber-
culosis, so it is to the‘benefit of the
farmers’ family and himself that he
test his cows—Editor.

COMMERCIAL FINANCE

I wish. to make inquiry concerning
the Commercial Finance Corporation, of
Detroit, who have branch offices in Grand
Rapids and Lansing. Are they a good,
sound financial corporation, doing safe
business?—E. L., Delton, Mich.

We have written several times to
this company but are unable to get
a reply.\ We are informed from an
indirect source that the business of
the company is underwriting the in-
stalment business of furniture con-
cerns. As to its reliability we have
no information. The stock, we are
told, can be purchased through al-
most any broker for much less than
its par_value. We believe it a pro-
position to stay away from.-——Edi-tor.

PROFITEERING AND LEGIS-
1 ~ LATION

VER SINCE Uncle Rube wrote an
article in the Business Farmer on
profiteering, I have concluded to

come over and tell the readers of
our splendid paper of a transaction
which I was interested in last year.
As I am engaged in the fruit busi—
ness I phoned to one of our dealers
in the city if he could use a crate
(16 quarts) of berries. In reply he
said “that if I would sell them so
that he cOuld retail them at 20c
per box to bring them down.” He
‘gave me $2.50 for the crate. i had
just left the store when a friend
came along with a. box of my pro-
duct, and informed me that he paid
25c for the box of berries. ‘ I“can’t
exactly cempute my profits, but can
come somewhere near his. It seems
very strange that the retailer can
not let go of the rafters and come
down to where the producer ,is now.
We are all the time hearing about the
farmer’s deplorable condition, with
nothing in sigh-t so far} for his bet-
terment. _ a .

There are also other lines of busi-
ness which need attention such as
doctors’ fees, barbers”rates, bakers’
supplies, publishers of local news-
papers, etc., and other things too
numerous to mention.

through the half-inch outer crust,
and a moment later stood in the
open, with the fire between him and
Le Beau. .

The windfall was a blaring fur-
nace, and suddenly Le Beau ran
back a dozen steps so that-he could
see on the farther side. A hundred
yards away he saw Miki making for
the deeper forest. , -

It was a clear shot. At that dis-
tance Le Beau would have staked
his life that it was impossible for
him to miss. He did not hurry. One
shot, and it would , be over. He
raised his rifle, and in that instant
a wisp of smoke came like the lash
of a whip with the wind and caught
[him fairly in the eyes, and his bul-
let passed three inche: over Miki’s
head. The whining snarl of it was,
a new thing to Miki. But he recoll-
nized the thunder of'the gun—and
he knew what a gun could do.
Le Beau, still firing at his through
the merciful cloud of smoke, he was
like a gray streak flashing~to the
thick timber. Three times more Le
Beau fired. From the edge of a
dense clump of spruce Miki flung
back a defiant howl. He disap-
peared as Le Bean's last shot shov-
elled up the snow at his heels.

thoughts and footsteps with the elu—

Twice in‘ the next weeere Beau

caught a flash of him. Three times

he heard him howh And twice he
followed his trail until, in despair
and exhaustion. he turned back.
Never was Miki caught unaware. He
ate no more baits in the trap~houses.
Even when Le Beau lured him with
the whole carcass of a rabbit he
would not touch it. nor would he
touch a rabbit frosen'dead ,in a
snare. From Le Bean’s traps he
took only the livink things, chiefly
birds and squirrels and “the big web—
footed snowshoe rabbits. 'And be-
cause a mink jumped at his once,
and tore open his nose, he destroyed
a number of minks so utterly that
their pelts were spoiled. He found
himself another windfall, but in-
stinct taught him new never to go
to it directly, but to approach it, and
leave it, in a roundabout way.

Day and nigh-t Le Beau, the man—
brute, plotted against him. He set
many poison-baits. He killed a. 606.
and scattered strychnine in its en—
trails. He built deadfalls', and bait-
ed them with meat soaked in boiling
fat. He made himself a “blind” of
spruce and cedar boughs, and sat for
long hours, watching with his rifle.
And still Miki was the victor.

was a Vast. unfilled yearning.,

It was then that he as

Oochak of months ago: It so, he
had grown even as Miki had grown.
He was splendid, with his long silk-

en fur and his sleek body. and he.

was not struggling, but sat awaiting
his fate without excitement. To
Miki he looked warm and soft and
comfortable. It made him think of
Neewa, and the hundred and one
1 nights they had slept together. His
desire leapt out to Oochak. He
whined softly as he ad'vuced. ~I-lfe
would make friends.- Even with
Oochak, his old enemy, he would lie
down in peace and happiness, so
great was the gnawing emptiness” in
his heart. ,
Oochak made no response, nor did
he move, but sat furred up like a
huge soft ball, watching Miki as
he. crept nearer on his belly. Some-
thing‘ot the old puppishness came
back into the dog. He wriggled and
thumped his tail, and as he Whined
again he seemed to say. I

“Let’s forget the old trouble
Ooc‘hak. Let’s be friends. I’ve got
a line windfall—and I’ll kill you

a rabbit.”

And still Oochak did not move
or make a sound. At. last Miki
could almost reach out with his fore-
paws and touch hiln. He dragged
himself still nearer, and his 'tail
thumped harder. .

“And I’ll get you out of the
trap," he may have been saying.
“It's the man-beast's trapgand I
hate him."

And then, so suddenly that Miki
had no chance to guard himself,
Oochak sprang the length of (the
trap-chain and was at him. With
teeth and razor-edged claws he tore
deep gashes in Mil’ri’s nose. Even
then the blood of balttle rose slowly
in him, and he might have retreated
had not Oochak’s teeth got a hold
in his shoulder. With a roar he
free, but
Oochak held on. Then his jaws
snapped at the back of «the fisher-
cat’s neck. When he was done
Oochak was dead.

He slunk away, but in him there
was no more the thrill of the vic—
tor. He had killed, but in killing
he had found no joy. Upon him ——
the four-footed beast—-had fallen at
last the oppression of the thing that
drives men mad. He stood in the
heant of a vast world, and for him
thatvworld was empty. " * *

He did not return to his wind-
fall. In a little open he sat on his
haunches, listening to the night
sounds, and watching the stars as
they came out. There was an early
moon, and as it came up over the
forest, 3. great throbbing red disc

And then it was, swinging east-
ward from the cabin of Pierrot, that
the mad Wolves of Jackson's Knee
came into the country of the big
swamp wherein trees bore the
Double-lelaze of Jacques Le Bean’s
axe.‘ There were fourteen of them
running in the moonlight. What it
is that now and then drives a wolf-
pack mad in the dead of winter no
man yet has wholly learned. Possib-
ly it begins with a “bad” well; just
as a “bad” sledge-dog, nipping and
biting his fellows, will spread his
distemper among them until the
team becomes an ugly, quarrelsome
horde, Such a dog the wise driver
hills—or turns loose.

The wolves that bore down upon
Le Bean’s country were red-eyed
and thin. Their bodies were cov-
ered with gashes, and the mouths
of some trothed blood. They did
not run as, Wolves run for meat.
They were a sinister and suspicious
lot, with a sneaking droop to their
haunches, and their cry was not the
deep-throated cry of the hunt-pack
but a ravening clamour that seemed
to have no leadership or cause.
Scarcer was the sound of. their
tongues gone beyond the hearing of
Pierrot’s ears than one of the thin
gray beasts rubbed against the
shoulder of another, and the second
turned with the swiftness of a snake
like the "bad" dog of the traces,
and struck his fangs deep, into the
first wolf’s flesh. Could Pierrot have
seen, he would have understood
then how the four he had found had
come to their end.

Swift as the snap of a. whip-lash

the tight between the two was on.

The other twelve of the pack stop-
ped. They came back, circling in
cautiously and grimly silent about
their fighting comrades. They
ranged themselves‘ in a ring, as men
gather about a fistic battle; and
there they waited, their jaws drool-
ing, their fangs clicking, a low and
eager whining smothered in their
throats. And then the thing hap~
pened. One of the fighting wolves

Actual photograph of the Second Annual Stockholders Meeting of the Detroit Packing Company held in Dptroit on January 17th, 1922. Most of those shown are

farmers and live—stock breeders from every section of Michigan,

who were highly pleased with the results which they saw at first hand. ~

Second‘AnnualMeeting Sees Plantin Operation

More than 1,000 Farmer Stockholders Attend and Approve of Wonderful Progress Made-by
Officers and Difectors of Detroit Packing Company ‘

ORE than a thousand farmers and their

wives came to Detroit, January 17th, to

attend the second annual meeting of the
Detroit Packing Company in which they are
the majority stock—holders. The found not
the bare walls of a gigantic building, only half
completed in which they held the first annual
meeting less than a year ago, but instead, a
real packing plant, with every department
from slaughtering to fertilizer making in ac-
tual operation and rapidly getting into the
swing of capacity production.

As will be seen by the photograph showing
part of those present at our stockholders'
meeting, the Detroit Packing Company has a
fine, representative body of stockholders who
have entered the field as manufacturers as well
as producers. To show the progress they have
made the following eXCerpts taken from the
minutes of the annual meeting are published:

“I have taken a very great pride in the de—

' velopment of the Detroit Packing Company,”-

said L. Whitney Watkins, director and live
stock advisor, in his opening remarks as chair-
man.- “I have been telling people that the
farmers in time would get to be real business
men and I believe that eventually the farmers
of Michigan will be organized as real business
men. I have hoped, prayed and dreamd that
this might come true and IT IS TRUE and
has been proved by what you have done in get-
ting back of this progressive movement in
this great metropolis of Michigan.” .

“ I had occasion to address the Detroit
Board of Commerce a short time ago and I was
asked what significance the Detroit Packing
Company had tothem, what did it mean to
Detroit. '1 said, gentlemen, it means that ap-
proximately 2,800 o'f the most intelligent and
most progressive farmers of the State of

Michigan have now become Detroit business.

men. I also called their attention to the fact

that 75 per cent of the things they get out—'

side of the state could be produced right here
in Michigan; that Michigan was the source
of supply for most every article; that it was
a self—sustaining state. Many of the men held

their heads in shame When they realized that

ourvpeople could produce what they are going
outside to get and that they were paying high
freight rates on outgoing products.

“I just want to call your attention to some
reports that have been circulated. They are
entirely false,'but I ampsorry to say that some
of the stockholders really believed them and
this has been one of the great difficulties that
the Detroit Packing Company has had- to face
“lack of confidence of some of our OWn stock-
holders. I am sorry that they cannot all come
out and show punch and vigor. The people
who say Detroit Packing Company is paralyzed
or limp are those who have ‘no business in the
Detroit Packing Company. Do not let those
who own no stock tell you your comany is
lame!“ .

Edward F. Dold, president and general man-
ager, followed Mr. Watkins and said in part:
"W ave passed the first mile stone in our
progr ss in the closing of the year 1921. The
past year has certainly been a strenuous one

V

Believing the Business Farmers of
Michigan are interested in the develop-
ment of Detroit Packing ompany and
wishing to keep them well informed we
point herewith facts for their informa-
tion.

The reproduction shown of the plant
will give those who have not visited us
in person a good idea of what has been
accomplished during the past year and
a cordial invitation is extended to look
us over and go through the various de-
partments, which will be both instructive
and interesting.

 

 

 

nerve of your officers and direct6rs, but all are
well balanced and have weathered the storm
and now look with much confidence 'to the new
year and I hope that you all will share the
same opinion.” ,

“We have devoted most of our time, first in
building up the demand for our product on a
larger scale, second in building and equiping
with machinery and fixtures your new plant,
both very essential to our future welfare. Much
hard work has been devoted to ‘Good Will’
meaning the up-building of demand for dis-
tribution of our ‘Detroit Star.’ meat~food pro-
ducts. What financial benefits have been
awarded by our efforts in this direction will
be read to you from our annual financial state-
ment given by our progressive and resource-
ful treasurer, Mr. Joseph Gardulski." '

“You, the stockholders, must be the judges
as to whether or not your officers and direc-
tors have done their duty towards representing
your best interests during the past year, also
in the building up of demand and striving for
more trade for our product. It will be neces-
sary to call your attention to the handicap
we had to contend with for more profit, from
the fact that we could not slaughter any live
stock due 'to not having the proper buildings
and equipment available. Therefore our next
best‘and only way was by purchasing dressed
product, such as dressed beef, dressed hogs
from outside western packers. This entailed
also their manufactured product consisting of
sweet pickled meats, which we smoked with
our limited facilities, also purchased fresh
trimmings, both pork and beef, offal and cas-
ings required in the manufacture of sausage,
which was made into various grades through
our own sausage plant. This product natur-
ally was sold to us with their profit added
jobbers for

and they in turn would tell our customers that
we were buying their goods and selling, same
under our brand. Naturally we were handi-
capped in not being able to slaughter live
stock also process its various products, but in
spite of all these disadvantages we were able
to take this product and produce a cure and

flavor in our hams and bacon also sausage
that has made for us a reputation for quality.
Our trade has surely and gradually gained
every month. From the humble beginning in
January of” last year When but 125,000 pounds
of products were handled through thefiplant
this volume was expanded each successive
month and we find that over four and one-
half million pounds of products were mer-
chandised by Detroit Packing ompany in 1921,»
the money value in sales being between $800,-
000 and $900,000.”

A CORPORATION  BY FARMERS

“Good will is worth much money to any
concern. We do not appraise its value on our.
financial statement, but we do value it in the
confidence, reliance and esteem received from
our ever increasing number of customers.
This leads us to believe that it is not because
we are the Detroit Packing Company as a
corporation but because we have and are now
serving them with the best meats, sausage and
lard that their money will buy in this whole
United States. Besides this we are striving
to give them service and fair treatment. We
are justly proud of our record and ‘the reputa-
tion obtained for Detroit Star Meat Food pro-
ducts, which are produced by our corporation,
a corporation OWned and controlled by sub-
stantial practical business farmers and live-
stock raisers of the state of Michigan. You
have all this to look back to with much pride
and satisfaction because it was all done in the
initial year of our organization. We also had
to contend with intricate building and equip-
ment problemswhich has required much time
and attention, but it is with much satisfaction
that we reap our reward when building and

equipment operations are completed. Now,

we will enlarge our scope of business opera-
tions, thereby enabling us to derive the entire
benefit of the profits ourselves, which thus far
were shared with other packers who'furnished
us with supplies during our state of unprepar-
edness.”

“I am pleased to report that we are com—
plete and ready forthe expectedenlarged busi-
ness,” continued Mr. Dold. “You are today
able to witness the slaughter of ‘all kinds of
live stock in our new plantwhich is beyond
a doubt the finest, most
economical and best equipped packing plant

"in the world. Our past plans were fully pre- A

pared and have not miscarried in any way,
shape'or manner; We now come before you
with our future plans. Our proposition is now
fairly launched. It must go forward not, back-
ward. It now behooves you and every one of you
stockholders, both present and absent to give
us your loyal backing during this year, there-
by enabling us to give you far greater results
and which in due time will obtain for you the
dividends on, your investment. I am well
aware that prosperity has not favored you dur-
ing the past year. This has been the condi-
tion" of the entire business fabric of the World

that the packing trade feels secure, and I
honestly share with them in this opinion.

“The packing industry constitutes your
principal and steady live stock outlet. It i
to you ’asmuch of an adjunct to your 'farm
,as the land and buildings you own. There-
fore is directly vital to your livelihood. Is
not this unit well worth fostering? There-
fore it behooves you to take as much care of
this working unit as anything you own and
prize most highly. I again request your moral
support and financial backing to your fullest
extent. You now see what we have done thus
far. We have a solid proposition built on
sound principals, strong and broad founda—
tions. Your co-operation with the enormous
concentrated strength and power, coupled
with consolidated financial support will give
your management the confidence to bring this
proposition through to great success. It can
be done. Your treasurer will soon go into this
matter and explain his plans in every detail.

“I thank you for~your attention to my mes-
sage and assure ybu of my continued and re-
newed efforts for the future as in the past. It
will always be a pleasure and an inspiration
to have you come in and see us. If you have
any live stpck to sell remember that the De-
troit Packing Company stands ready to buy
such quantities as they are.able to handle at
‘t-e highest 'market prices consistent with
quality live stock, thereby perpetuate our good
name and reputation for “Detroit Star” meats
of all kinds. We would also appreciate your
recommending our products to your commu‘
nity and make a personal eflort to have your
.local dealers try ‘Detroit Star’ Meat Food Pro-
ducts. One trial will make a good customer
thereafter.”

ORIGINAL PLANS FUNDAMENTALY
SOUND !

Frank L. Garrison, vice—president, was next
called on by Mr. Watkins. “Some of‘you .good
people present I have met before but many
have made their first‘trip to the plant today
and I must say-that-I am glad to meet you all
fdce to face and become better acquainted.
Any organization large or small would have
to go more than a long city block to produce
a finer family gathering than ours today and
it is good/to know we are all here for the one

, purpose of promoting our family affairs which

are to be discuss-ed at this meeting.
“At our last annual meeting held April 19,
1921, where some 800 of 'our stOCkholders

were in attendance, it was demonstrated that »

by persistent co-Operative effort we coulddo
what we set out to do. We must keep up the
good work and future results will be just as
great, just as satisfactory and more tangible
as we are now on an operating-basis.

“Let me say to you that so well were our '

original plans laid, so fundamentally sound
were the principles we adopted, so well was
our organization formed and so well has our
organization functioned that we have accom—
plished more since the company was chartered
in 'April, 1920, than other corporations of like
size would undertake to put through in double
the same time. '

“Several months ago one of our competitors

business unless they cut the prices of every-
thing they sell 2 or 3 cents per pound. HE
WAS WRONG. We have never out the price
on -a single pound and today are actually get-
ting more money for our products than the
said competitor and we 'have‘another joke on
him, as I personally know where we bought
some of his products and resold them to his
trade for more money than he could get for
the same stuff from the same people.

FARMERS BENEFIT BY TWO SAVINGS

“So far so good, but we can’t stop where
we are. We must go foward with ever increas—
ing momentum and force, shoulder to shoulder
each for all. Our plant is built, completely
equipped and in full‘operation. Many of our
troubles are now behind us. and we must now
face the future and battle our way to the goal
set, which is a farmer owned packing plant
doing a capacity business and paying good div-
dends, besides Otherwise doing the farmers
of Michigan a good turn by large savings to
them in live stock handling costs and still an-
other saving by the sale to them direct of hog
feeding tankage, blood meal and valuable fer-
tilizer agents produced by the plant.

“By every individual getting behind the com—

pany with his or her strong, Consistent moral

support as well as his or her financial support
IT CAN BE DONE—it is only up to you and to
me, each and all. to stick together, work to-
gether and then to gather the fruits of our
labors. Loyalty, tenacity of purpose and plen-
ty of hard work will get the results we are
all after and without the three requisites being
strongly in evidence we can’t sensibly hope for
success, therefore I ask you to DELIVER THE
GOODS. Of the three graces——Faith, Hope
and Charity, it is said the greatest of them is

\Charity and I say to you the greatest of the
three requisites I speak of

Whatever you do; be loyal to your Company!
That much you can do, even if your ability to

than that of some of your neighbors.

month to the point where today we have a
ready and assured outlet for the entire and
.maximum output of the plant.

“HOW WAS THIS DONE? Some of our
competitors would like very much to know
and I feel free to give them, as well as you,
the secret which is: QUALITY OF PRODUCTS
AND FAIR DEALING WITH OUR TRADE.
Our competitors don’t seem able to equal the

fine quality of DETROIT STAR BRAND 'PRO- .

DUCTS and our trade seems to prefer
treatment after experience with both.

SALES MANAGERS EN THUSASTIC REPORT

Mr. Watkins called on Vice-President Beck-
er, who is in charge of sales and distribution.
“To have been associated with the men on your
board of directors—a hard-working and con-
scientious bunch—has been a revelation to me
in team work,” said Mr. Becker, “and has also
been of help and encouragement to me in
handling my organization of salesmen. My
boys are ,full of zip and producing results as
they and I feel we all have the world by the

tail, because it is pleasant to go before the-

trade and solicit thein business knowing the
quality of our products will make pleased cus-
tomers of them. Competitors have fought us
from every angle, but we carried the battle
to them and are gaining ground every day.
They said we couldn’t get the price for our
product—perhaps they would be interested to

~ know that we are now selling one of the big-

gest dealers some 15,000 pounds per week at
a premium of from one to two cents per
pound. _

“In these days when a large majority of
people engaged in business find it hard goin'g
—-—orders scarce and hard to get, we certainly
are in a class by ourselves when we find, as I
do, that it is harder for us to fill our orders
than to get the orders. Our curing cellars
are full but the meat is not coming through
fast enough yet to suit us as many times we
have to give a customer six hams when he
wants twelve or twenty—five. We are just get-

TREASI’RER'S REPORT GRATIFYING

Mr. Watkins asked Mr. Joseph Gardulski,
secretary—treasurer. to submit his report,
which was cordiallyand enthusiastically re-
cieved. Not many new concerns are able to
show net earnings the first year of their op-
erations, yet verified statements show that the
business handled in 1921 showed a substan-
tial net profit. As evidence of the confidence
placed by the stockholders in the executors
and board of directors the five men whose
terms as directors had expired, were unani—
mously re-elected.

Fairy Tales

‘ HOUGH HANS Anderson, the great

‘ Danish story writer, has long since gone
to the land of the fairies, his soul still marches
on! Go where you may and you Will find glib
salemen pouring into the ears of eager farm~
01‘s fabulous tales of wealth and dividends
\‘l ich vie with Anderson’s wildest imagina-
tions. From Missouri comes the following
story which well represents in an exaggerated
degree the representations made by unscrupu-
lous stock-selling agents:

“Roxanna. Mo. was the only town I!!! the country in
which every man who desired had a chicken or turkey
Christmas dinner furnished entirely without cost. It
was all due to a. new flivver invention displayed on the
streets amt-day by a. man giving the name of Oley
Olson, who was selling stock in a concern to manufac—
ture the attachment which fits on any Ford car.

“The invention is patterned after a. street car guard
so that when the driver runs over a. chicken or turkey.
instead of leaving the fowl dead or maimed on the road.
it scoops the bird up, runs it past the engine fan which
is ingeniously arranged with knife-like blades that
dress, clean and cuts up the fowl. The fowl then lands
in a pan attached to the engine which cooks it by heat
from the exhaust pipe. Water from the radiator slowly
drips on the cooking bird so that gravy is made when
and if desired. . .

“Several prospective buyers made a trip through the
country yesterday and while they thought they had re-
turned empty handed. yet when the hood of the engine
was raised more than thirty pounds of dressed, roasted
meat had been "bagged." It was distributed Pntll‘l‘ly
free to the people of the town, who then bought liberally
of the stock in the manufacturing concern."

A bit fanciful, of course, but is it more so
than some of the stories which farmers fall for
from the lips of stock-selling agents? Scarce-
, ly a day goes by that the Business Farmer does

. not receive a letter from some farmer who has
' been induced to give up his last cent for stock
upon the promise of fabulous dividends.

You know how it feels to have the shrill. call
of the alarm clock wake you at four o’clock on
a cold winter morning from a delightful dream
in which you are reveling in all the pleasures
of heaven and earth. How hard and heartless
the world seems for a little while, and how
sorry you feel for yourself. Well, we imagine
_ that is about the way some farmers feel when

they wake up to the fact that the anticipated
dividends on the stock they have purchased
were nothing but beautiful air castles.
Never take a stock salesman ’3 word for any-
thing. He isn’t interested in your welfare.
, . All he wants is your cash. If he makes ex-
 travagant claims about the stock he is selling
tell him to put them down in writing. If he
refuses show him the door. '

market for the farmer with money to place.
 But there are no bonanzas. The big fellows
i gobble these up. So when a, stock salesman
begins to promise you huge dividends make
'up your mind right away that he’s lying.
‘ There are no reputable stocks on the market
 which are likely to net ten per cent.

Without arguing the right or the wrong,
the Wisdom or the folly, of an economic sys-
fem which makes it possible for a. mere hand-
ful of men to control so large aportion of the
nation ’s wealth we are at least forced'to specu-
late upon the potential dangers to the Com-
monwealth which the mere posession of so
much wealth entails

All about us is suffering and want. A mill-
ion men are out of employment. A million
farmers are struggling against stupendous
odds to pay their debts and weather the crisis
without losing their farms. The ground is
rel: prepared for sowing the seeds of discon-
en .
wealth by the purchase of priceless foibles and
luxuries which the many covet but cannot
possess. The mere possemion of money is not
a crime, but its misuse may cause more harm
than all the imps of mischief Which escaped
from Pandora’s box. ‘

We do not envy the rich their wealth. “Un-
easv lies the head that wears the crown,” and
uneasy, too, the head of him whose vaults are
bursting with golden treasure. But the rich
should have a care in these nervous times not
to make too great a. show of their possessions.
It also might be the part of wisdom; instead
of lighting every measure suggested to secure
a Just portion of their unearned wealth to
pay off some of the nation’s debts, for them
to cheerfully volunteer to do the fairy god
mother act and help the country which has
been so generous to them through its present
difficulties. '

 

The Boy Scouts of America

THE WEEK beginning February 8th is
the twelfth anniversary of one of the
finest organizations ever established in this
country. The one national group that has
more to do with the forming of the character
of future citizens of the United States than
any otherwthe Boy Scouts of America. We
owe a great deal to the leaders of this move-
ment. Character building is their chief pur-
pose. Could they have a, nobler one? By no
means. They devote their efforts to bringing
out the best there is in a boy. They
teach him to “do a geod turn daily”;gtrust-
worthiness, loyalty to God, man, country and
self, helpfulness, friendliness, kindness, obed~
ience, thriftiness, cleanliness, cheerfulness,
courtesy, bravery, and reverence.

As club work makes better farmers of
America’s farm boys so can the Bay Scout
work make better men of them. .

Pix-President Taft, Bit-President Wilson,
the late Theodore Roosevelt and many other
men known the world over are or have been
connected with the BOy Scouts of America and
have given aid and inspiration to the great

"cmcnt. Heretofore the work has been
largely confined to the cities and towns but it
need. not and should not be so. ,Boy Scouts

"can be organized in the country as well as
any other place. Whynot Organize, using

The Businem Farmer uséli to believe that
farmers ought to keep books and know what it
costs them to produce different crops- but after
reading the following letter from another sub-
scriber we begin to see the‘dreadful error of

' our theory:

"Regarding your everlasting urging of farmers
to keen accounts so they will know where they
are at. I want to say it you don’t want the people
of this great nation to go hungry some day then
don’t urge farmers to do something which will .
show them in black and white that they are los-
lug money right along. It all kept books there
wouldn’t he only about one out of every ten who
could show that he got anything for his on
labor. 4 It would only make the farmer more dis-
contented than he is now. It’s hard enough to
lose when you don't» know it, but a great deal
harder it you’ve got it before your eyes. 80, for
pity sake, keep the farmer in ignorance and con—
tented. Atter all is said we’ are all working for
the good of the whole country and if some of
this goodness should be gained through the i.-
noranee of a. few why no harm is done as long no
they are contented with their ignorance. Let I
all hope there are better days ahead."

Bryan and the “Bloc”

THE BIGGEST applause of the agriculture
conference, we are told, went to Wm. J on.
lungs Bryan when he spoke in defense of the
agricultural “bloc” and the demands of the
farmers. . ', ..
I “I am good at remembering,” said Mr.
Bryan, “I remember thirty years ago when I
was a member of Congress. Wall street had a
bloc then. The differerce between the farm-
ers’ bloc and the Wall Street bloc is that tho
farmers’ bloc works open and above board and
Wall. Street works secretly.” -
Turning back to the October 22nd‘issuc a!

the Business Farmer We find this editorial ’

comment : '

“The only difference between the agricultural
bloc and other blocs is that the farmer legisla-
tors operate publicly, whlle those who act under
orders and in the interest of the “maletactors of
great wealth,” work in secret harmony. The
first Is =a'“visible government; the second an in-
visible government.”

A New Syrup for the Pancakes

 SS MANY farm folkshave learned by ex.

perienee it has never been possible to,
make a really palatable syrup from sugar
beets. Despite ‘repeated cooking, stirring,

skimming, etc, the flavor of the beets like

that of spear-mint gum, “lasts.” But now as a
result of a process recently discovered and
patented by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, a. syrup can be made which is entirely
free from the objectionable beet taste?- Farm-
ers Bulletin No. 1241 describes the process in
detail and anyone (is free to use it. Maple
syrup is getting scarce and high. ‘ But beets
are dirt cheap and likely to remain-so for
some on a cold winter’s  a. plat.

\fEST-ERDAY, Jail. 22, 1- stood in-

the presence of death-atood by

the bier of one whom I had
known, honored, respeCted and loved
for many, many years. It was the
earthly remains of the woman who
gave me the wife of my young man-
hood, the companion ot my more
mature years. She was the grand-
mother ot the children whom I love
so well.» As I stood taking the last
look at the beloved clay—so peace-
ful and yet so triumphant she
looked—~l could not help thinking
that death is not as terrible; there
was no fear reflected on her count-
enance. She was at peace with God
and with all the world! And I
thought of the years that had gone
since I first knew her—of her beau-
tiful life—full of sacrifice and filled
with good deeds, of how when
trouble came and mother was need—
ed, she never failed. She was al—
ways ready and willing to do all ’she
could, never giving a thought to her-
self, and giving of herself to the
very limit of her strength and then
not alone to her own immediate
family but to all who needed her and
her help.

She had reached the goodly age
of seventy—five years—three score
an’ ten an' some to spare, an’ yet
she had not finished her work. One
like that never finishes. Life is too
short, no matter how many years are
alloted to them—it’s too short a
time to do all the good they would
like to do. And then, as I stood
there, for I did not like to take my-
self away, I thought if life was too
short for her, for one who had im—
proved every hour of it, who had
lived only for the good she might
do, how much too short life is to
be frittered away in nursing wrath,
in harboring ’petty grievances, in
living to “get even” with some one
who we imagine has wronged us or
in finding fault with our neighbors
or with those with whom we have
to associate in our daily work.

If, after seventy—five years of
sacrifice, of giving of herself for the
good of those who needed her, her
work was unfinished, how much time
have we to- spend 101‘ our own sel-
fish pleasure? We are not sure of
a day in a(lvance———this year may be
our last. We are sure of nothing
but the present, and what are we.
doing to make life better, to make
the world better because we have
lived and been a part of it?

The world can not lose such a
life without feeling the loss. Al—
though seventy-five years had been
given her and some would call her
old, she was not old for her heart
was young, her work had only nicely
commenced. She lived her life and
loved life because it was good to
her; the world was bright, she was
always cheerful, she delighted in the
companion of younger people. She
would not allow herself to grow old
because she had a work to do and
that work required a young spirit,
a big heart, a grand and lovable
soul. These things she possessed and
she gave freely of them to others.

Her life is but an example to us
who are left, it has shown to us how
we should live; should improve the
time, should live, not for ourselves
alone“ but for the good of the world.

We see so much of nagging, fault—
finding—little petty, underhanded
trivcksmso many always trying to get
the best of somebody that we are
sometimes led to wonder how many
years it will take for them to live
their lives and do the good that they
should do—-—as much good as this one
woman crowded into the short sev-
enty—five years that were given to
her. Life is short at beat—the pass-
ing of this splendid soul proves that,
and yet the shortest life can be made
useful and very beautiful it we think
only beautiful thoughts. if we think
of others first and do'the things that
will make other lives \brighter and
better. ~ , .

If we would make our life useful,
as. this beloved woman made her's
useful, we must I ‘commence now.
We are not sure of the years, our
‘very days may be numbered, and,
up to now, what have, We done?

TEE J. H. HALE PEACH.
ROBABLY no variety of peach
intnoduced within reCent years
has attracted more attention
than the J. H. Hale. Only
scarcity of trees has prevented it

' from being extensively planted, for
nurserymen have not been able to.

supply the demand.

It should be kept in mind that
this is the J. H. Hale pelach. There
is another variety, Hale’s Early,
with a name so much like it that
the two are liable to be confused.
The latter is a. fruit of a different
type, being earlier and smaller, as
well as a. much older vlarlety. Un-
scrupulous nurserymen have taken
advantage of the similarity in the
names to get rid of the inferior
kind, which has resulted in disap-
pointment. For this reason care
should be taken to get the J. H.
Hale and not Hale's Early.

The J. H. Hale ripens la. few days
before the Elbe-rte. and like that
vamiety it does not require harvest-
ing at once. The fruit may be left
on the trees for several days, which
is a point of no small importance to
the commercial grower.

In color and quality the J. H.
Hale is superior to the Elberta,
tho-ugh not enough so as to place it
in the first rank, but its firm flesh
makes it a. good fruit for shipping
and it will keep almost as well as
an early apple. Those who have
canned it ‘have placed it among the
best for the purpose, being pre-
ferred to the Elberta.

The most striking feature of the
J. H. Hale is the size {and uniform—
ity. A peach that will weigh 12
ounces is not uncommon, while
specimens weighing an ounce or
have frequently been
found. Visitors at' the State Fair'
last September will recall 'the dis-
play of this fruit of which 70 or 80
would fill a bushel basket.

Thus far the tree has been pro-
ductive. The buds have proven
hardy and there have been
enough of Ithem. In flact, the fruit
has had to be severely thinned for
the good of the tree. ,

But with the merits of this new
variety there is a serious draw-
back. The tree has thus far made
ap-
pearances a dwarf. In an orcmard
with the Dewey, St. John, Fitzger—
aald, Champion, Late Crawford, En-
gel, Prolific, Banner and Elberta
it has in six years grown less than
half as much as 'these varieties.
The result is Ia small bearing sur-
face, -though the limbs are stocky
and strong, as they need to be to
hold up the coop. r

Tree-s planted before the severe
win-tor of 1917-18 stood the test as
well as the other varities mention-
ed, so it is probably hardy enough
for Southern Michigan. But the in-

dications ‘are that it will be short-
lived. It seems ‘to be lacking in
vigor. However, it may yet sur-

prise the peach growers.

Anyhow, the J. H. Hale seems to
be worthy of a place in a commercial
orchard and at the pro-sent price of
stock the planting of this variety is
not liable to be excessive. If set in
a solid block the trees could well
be sot-14 fee-t apart, so that more
than 200 could stand on an acre.
Even closer than this might be al—
lowed, perhaps 12 \or 13 feet. In
this way la fair crop could be ob-
tained from an acre, lof a fruit that
would always be in demand.

In ithe home-orchard everybody
wants such a peach as the J. H.
Hale. While not the best in qual—
ity, it is good to can. But above
all it is the pelach to give friends
and neighbors, merely to show
what fruit can be grown. /

 

ELDERBERRIES

Are there any varieties of elderberries
in cultivation? If there are any. where
can I get them? I haye not found any 111

year to get this fruit, as the waste land
is improved. The elderberry is surely

CHICKENS GO BLIND'

What ails my chickens? They go
blind in one eye, mostly their left one.
Have had six this way and now have»
a. turkey the same way. Head gets
feverish and eye mattery. What can I
do for them? With many thanks.—- Mrs.
C. T., Perrinton, Mich,

There is an insufficient amount of
details to accurately diagnose the
trouble in the case of the chicken
going blind in one eye. Blindness,
however, of this kind, is generally
produced by fall colds,.roup, diph-
theritic roup or chicken pox. ‘ If the
eye lids are glued together in the
absence of a pus formation, this is
a condition due to fall colds which
stock are liable to contract especial-
ly during a damp fall such as we
have just experienced. If the blind-
ness is due to a pus formation that
has an offensive odor this is an ad-
vanced stage of roup. If in addi-
tion to the swelling of the eye, cank-
ers appear in the mouth, or small
brown spots on the face, comb or
wattles, the trouble is diagnosed as
diphtheritic roup or chicken pox.
The affected birds should be isolated
just as rapidly as new cases develop.
The drinking water should be ’dis—
infected by adding potassium per-
manganate crystals until the water,
takes on a deep red appearance.
This will require about as many
crystals as can be placed on a,
twenty-five cent piece to a twelve-
quart pail of water.

Epsom salts should also be given
in the drinking water at the rate
of one pound per hundred birds.
The faces of the afiected birds
should be treated with a one per
cent solution of Lysol. The cause
should be removed by making sure
that sanitary conditions prevail,
that the birds are not over crowded,
and are, provided with clean, dry}
quarters, have plenty of light and
ventilation, and free from draughts.

If the stock is constitutionally
weak these birds which show great
resistance, only, should be used in
the breeding pen, thereby building
up a vigorous and more resistant
strain of birds—E. C. Foreman,
iroéessor of Poultry Husbandry, M.

some old carpet rags or tie some ‘

sort of strings together and lace it
all around, up and down in the
bushes over the nest. You can eas-
ilyvstick a few brush up if necessary.

That one
“secret” was worth fifty dollars to
me. My birds roam in the fields, the

frosts kill the feed. 7” Then I throw

STARTING THE CALVES RIGHT
By 0. E. Reed, Professor of Dairy Hus-
bandry. M. A. C.

“I would like to know the proper way to
raise and feed a Jersey calf from the time
of birth until two years of age. for dairy
purposes. What kind of a ration Would
you make out of the following: shredded
stalks. clover hay, corn meal. ground oats
oil meal (34 per cent protein) and bran?
Omit some of these should it be necessary.
and how much should be fed to Jersey
cow?”—D. B.. PerrY. Mich.

Ration for Cow

Feed all the clever hay they will
eat night and morning. Allow them
to eat what shredded stalks they will
during the day and one pound of the
following grain mixture for each
three pounds of milk per day: 8
parts corn meal, 1 part ground oats,

 

1 part wheat bran, 1 part oil meal.

(Mix by weight).
Care of Calves .

HE EXACT time of taking the

T calf from its mother will de-
pend upon the condition of the

calf and its mother at the time of
calving, If the calf is strong and in
good condition it may be taken away
immediately, without allowing a
nurse. It will be an easier task to
teach the calf to drink from the pail
if it is taken away‘ from themother
,at this time. If the calf is weak at
birth, or if the cow’s udder is in—
flamed or caked, it is a better prac-
tice to allow it to remain with its
mother for several days. in case
the calf is taken from its mother
immediately it should by all means
receive her first milk. The milk at
this time contains a high percentage
of protein and ash, which act as a
laxative and tonic and are very effec-
tive in cleaning out the digestive
organs. In some cases it is not safe
to fed calves the milk from their
mothers after the first few days. The
milk from cows belonging’ to the
high-testing breeds is very often too.
rich in fat for the young calf, and
should be diluted with skim milk,
or milk from some other cow should
be fed.

's Quantity of Milk to Feed _

The quantity of milk to feed the
calf at this time is very important.
Under natural conditions the call:
gets its milk often and in small
quantities, and the more closely na-
ture is imitated the greater the suc-
cess. The calf of average size should
receive about eight pounds of whole
milk a day at, first. Large calves
should have more than this amount.
The milk may be fed- in two feeds,
night and morning, or better results
may be obtained by feeding it three
times a day. As the calf grows older
the amount should be gradually in-
creased. The best guide as to the
amount which should be fed is the
‘calf’s appetite. It should be fed
sufficiently, but never overfed, and it
is a, good practice to always keep
the calf a little hungry. It should
take the last—milk from the pail with

the same relish that it :took the first...

It must be remembered that the calf
.hasa Small stomach, and there is
. .great‘ danger. of overfeeding it. ' As

MORE ABOUT WOMEN’S CLUBS
IS a significant fact that in one

' middle—western state 190 new
rural clubs have been added in
one year, another reports 11,000
new rural members. These clubs
, give up much time to the study of
civics and government with the ob—
ject of bringing about such legisla—
tion as will raise the standards of
public health-and morals. .
For instance there should be uni-
form divorce laws; when our forty-
eight states each have their own
- separate laws affecting divorce it be-
comes the plaything of the law-mak-
ers and not a dignified and perman-
out ih‘stitution. A very pertinent
‘ remark made by Mrs. Winter.
Women are asking for home de-
monstration work, examination in
the schools of children’s eyes and
'teeth, they are interested in home
economics and in the maternity bill,
also for laws that shall prevent
marriage of the unfit, the degener-
ate. Country clubs are bringing is-
olated women together and they'are
studying the problems that have a
practical and personal appeal. Our
on Senator Eva M. Hamilton says
that women can get anything they
want if they will go about it in the
right way, that is what suffrage has
done for us.
.1 ~ The work of these clubs may not
jbe purely for culture, for the study
I of art and literature and yet, what
l
l
l

is culture? it is the preparation of

the soil for greater productivity and

may as well refer to our minds as
. our meadows.

A PIN
H, I know a certain lady who is reckoned with the good,

Yet she fills me with'more terror than staging lion would.

The little chills run up and down my spine when ’er we meet.
Tho she seems a gentle creature, and she’s very trim and neat,
And she has a thousand virtues and not one acknowledged sin;
But she is the sort of person you could liken to a pin, ’
And she pricks you, and she sticks you in a way that can’t be said.
If you seek for what has hurt you, why you cannot find the head
But she fills you with discomfort and exasperatlng pain, -'
If anybody asks you why, you really can’t explain.
A pin is such a tiny thing, of that there is no doubt,
Yet when it’s sticking in your flesh you’re wretched ’tfll it’s out.
She is always bright and smiling, sharp and pointed for a thrust.
Use does not seem to blunt her point nor does she’s-other rust.
Oh! I wish some hapless specimen of mankind wenld begin
To tidy up the world for me, by picking up this pin.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

 

 

for  .y

I think these serials running in
some of the daily papers, telling of-
men chumming up with other men’s
wives, or other women, are wrong,
and have a harmful tendency. It
seems to me we pay enough for our
dailies to have something more up-
lifting.

Men join together in clubs and
societies for mutual helpfulness.
Why can not women join together
in a great world wide puritv club,
to protect her sister woman? We
hear much of the brotherhood of
man. Why not have a sisterhood of
woman, that will cause her to re-
form from bringing sorrow and suff-
ering upon her sister woman? Yes
sisters, I believe we hold the key to
the puzzle.

I have often thought since the do-
ing away of the “scapegoat” of the
wilderness, woman has been the
scapegoat of man. It "seems to me
we are getting old enough to have
outgrown "his goatship." It is the
man of sin who needs a scapegoat
as it was in those days, and as the
sister says, “the woman pays.”

All honor to the noble men who
have bettered the condition of wo-
men.

If husband is untrue and we can
not punish the culprits, why bring
the same trouble on some sister wo—
man, who doubtless, has trials
enough already. In the words of
the poet, “To thine own self be
true."

 

 

And it follows as the night the
day.

Thou canst not then be false to
any man.” (or sister woman)—-Just
an interested reader.

THE TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN

“WHEN I have one foot in the
grave,” said Count Tolstoy, “I
will tell the truth about we-

men, jump into my coffin, pull the

lid over me, and say: ‘Do what you

like now.’ ”

This leaves us in an unsatisfied.
if not uneasy frame of mind, too
bad we shall now never know the
truth. Why did he not do it? That
is the question. The lid went down
too soon maybe or did he, at the
last realize that \the truth about
women was also the truth about
men and perhaps after all the less
said the better?

\VISE AND OTHERWISE
R. JOHN T. ADAMS, chairman
of the Republican National
Committee, in an address be—
fore theWoman’s National Repub-
lican club, in New York, urged wo-
men to join either one of the two
great political parties and not throw
their weight and influence with in-
dependent movements, which would
necessarily split up their power to
accomplish results.
I hope he also expressed his views
on the separatepolitical organiza-
tion which some misguided and over—

of soap.

COMING PURE-BRET) HOG SALES
Whileit is true that the past season

has been a trying one for feed breeders,

and feeders of all kinds of live stock it

is also true that the losses on hogs have

averaged much less than any other kind
of stock. The depression and other in—
fluences combined to carry the hog mar-.
ket down to lower levels than had been
known for many years but it is coming
back and coming like a two-minute horse.
The American hog breeder has developed
a type that not only suits the packer
and butcher put one that can be raised
profitably on the average middlewest
farm. Michigan is becoming noted for its

large and medium type hogs, especially

can it be said of our hogs, that consider-

. ing their bulk, they carry the largest per:
. centage of lean meat of any hogs in the

country.

 

The hog sale campaign of the Spring
season will open on Feb. 9, atlithe livery
barn in Parma, Mich., with an offering
of 40 ‘large type Poland Chinas the
property of N. F_ Bornor, the young
breeder that showed the grand champion
boar of the Poland ‘China. breed at the
Michigan State Fair, 1921. The writer
has never seen a more promising bunch
of sows‘than those listed in this sale
offering. It may be truthfully said of
them that their top lines are high and
vtheir bottom lines low; their legs are
short with a. powerful bone and their
bodies nearly rectangular in form. No
pampering or over-fitting is done in this

herd but the}r are roughed thru in open .

colony houses and are in the finest con-'
dition to go on with.

On Saturday, Feb. 11, at Albert A.’

Feldkamp’s farm, near Manchester, Mich.,
forty head of large type Poland Chinas
will be sold at auction by Col. Ed, Bow-
ers of South "Whitely, Ind. The offering
is the get of the famous boar. F’s Clans-
man, grand champion Michigan State
Fair, 1920. and first prize senior year-
ling. 1921; they have been bred to some
of the boars in the state. These hogs
have all been immuned by the double
treatment and are the very last word in
type and up-to—date breeding. Men, who
-buy hogs of Albert Feldkamp, have the
satisfaction of knowing that they are
dealing with a man who is absolutely re—
liable and will stand by every‘ represens
tation that he makes,

need in our home. 1 could not do with-

 he Only, Way now is to have an
amendment *on profiteering to‘ this
document, and all the producing
population pull together at the prim-
aries and the polls. Let politics go
to the winds, for that is where we
are at today, and had it not been for
this element during the late war,
thbusands of lives and millions of
dollars might have been saved.

This element is in nearly every-
thing, even in church as well as state
affairs. -

When a certain class of politicians
can draw all the way from $20 to
330 a day for little time and Work,
in our state, it. is time for “cleaning
house.” The good roads enterprise
also needs looking after by the-tax-
payers of this country before it is
‘too late.

The ‘,‘Agricultural Bloc” and the
“dirt farmer” are‘ not wanted at
Washington when anything appar-
ently goes their way. Capital and
profiteers are in the saddle with
drawn swords as it were, and the
end is not yet in sight.

The wall of “Wall, St” extends
from coast to coast, and from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf like the
great wall of China, and like the
"Hindenburg line” is supposed to be
nonbreakable. The only gun to use
on this fortification is the ballot
with the proper individuals’ names
thereon. Not the Newberry type.
Put men and women in office who
are not seeking for it, instead- of
the seekers for emce, and then a
reformation will follow and not un-
til then.—-F. H. Carpenter, Allegan

County, Mich. ‘

We have always believed in thelheory
of the “office seeking the man. m‘itmd
of the man the office." That’s why we
were for Ford instead of Newberry. So
far as we have been able ro iisoover to
this day Henry Ford never turned his
hand over to secure one vue for the
United States senate. True, his enemies
say he‘ did. and point to large sums oi.’
money expended by the democratic state
central committee in his behalf. But
they fail to produce the evidence. Com-
mon sense tells us that if Henry Ford
had violated the laws to gain an of-
flce on a democratic ticket in a repub-
llcan state the public would have been
convincxd of the fact'long before this
and Ford. like Newberry,-made to pay
for the violation. The Business Farmer
wrote columns of editorials supporting
Henry Ford. but to this day Mr. Ford
‘has never indicated by word or act that
he was even so much aware of the fact
let alone appreciated it. Made us feel
a little bad, to be sure. but looking at
It in‘a broader way, why should he have
acknowledged our support. We werent
trying to do something for Mr.‘ Ford. We
were trying to do something. as ~ we
thought for the people of Michigan. And
he knew it. So why should he thank us
for supporting him? Henry Ford’s atti-
tude during all the course of that great
campaign has more than anything else
aroused our admiration for him. True.
he contested the election. but only be.
cause he sincerely thought that he was
the actual choice of the voters. Men
who actively campaign for office cannot
enter that oflice with as much independ-
ence as though they had not sought it.
Poli‘ical campaigns cannot be success-
fully waeefi without understandings and
compromises which will influence the
successful candidate's appointments and
conduct. We would have better laws,
and better men in appointive offices if
the electors would seek the individual
instead of waiting for him to seek them.
As men and women take n larger inter-
est in the affairs of government it may
become increasingly possible for the of-
fine to seek the man. Speed the day.—
Editor.

 

A CORRECTION

In the issuepf Jan. 21 an error was
made m reporting the Shorthorn auction
sale'as held at Lansing, Jan. 13. The
credit for furnishing the highest-priced
bull at ‘his sale was given to. John Les-
siter's Sons when it should have been
given to C. H Prescott & Sons. of Tame
City. ,Richland Meteor, a white bull
12 1-2 months old consi¢med by the Pres—
cotts, brought $250: this splendid young-
ster is certainly a bargain at the price
for which he sold. carrying as he does
the richest blood lines known to the breed.

" TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
u 'ECENT seasonably cold weather

has had a favorable influence on

many lines of trade, the de—
mand for heavy clothing and woolen
underwear being decidedly active.
Strength and activity, in connection
with the goods market, has helped

. the demand for wool, the bulk of

which is now in strong hands and is
held well above the market, in price.

Recent advances in the stock market

have helped the trade in steel and
iron; many orders for rails and
equipment have'recently been taken,
a fact that has tended to strengthen
the situation. r

Many of the larger cities in the
country are expecting a revival in
general building operations and the
material men, in these places, are
laying in supplies in anticipation of
an accelerated demand. There is a
feeling, abroad in the land, that the
building of an abundance of work-
lngmens’ houses will do more to
irOn out some oi? the misunderstand-
ing between capital and labor, than
any other influence.

The deplorable condition of the
farming classesand the uncertain-
ty concerning the immediate future
that is felt nearly everywhere these
days, is to some extent holding busi-
ness back in many lines. The opin—
ion seems to be growing, to the ef-
fect, that with the close of the world
war a prosperous age came to an
end and that the fact that a new
deal is on makes it impossible to
plan business operations as hereto-
fore. Expansion in trade is there-
fore, still rather slow although a
material gain can, by close inspec-
tion, be detected.

In the field of finance the influ-
ence of an abundance of money for
investment, along certain lines, is
distinctly noticable. On the other
hand, the extreme caution and con-
scrvation exercised by those whose
duty it is to make decisions concern-
ing the desirability of certain invest-
ments and loans, tends to confine
the business operations of midwinter
within rather narrow limits.

Stocks and bonds are rather dull
at the moment under the influence
of higher call money rates than were
the rule, earlier in the season. To-
ward the close of last week, the
leading feature of the money mark—
at was the strength of foreign ex-
change, sterling being in demand at
$4.24 and the rates of all foreign
countries showing a tendency to
harden. Bank clearings for the
week were $583,656,000.

To recapitulate, basic industries

. are holding most of the gain that

they'have recently made and manu-
facturers are increasing their labor

' forces, rapidly; revision of wages is.

however, a common occurance and
an increase in the working hours in
a day, in the effort to keep down
production costs, is being frequent-
ly resorted to. Probably, the influ-
ence that is having more rto do with

preventing the making of large pur-

chases of working materials by mer-
chants and manufacturers, is the be-

lie! that cost prices will soon be me.—

terially modified by a substantial

cut in freight rates.

WHEAT
The most encouraging thing we can

report about wheat and the other grains-

is that they withstood selling pressure
better last week than they have in a.
long time. The history of the wheat
market for the last four ‘months has
been one of periodic fluctuations. Prices
advances have with but few exceptions
resulted in enough selling by specula-

tors to and prices down, despite theu
. most bullish news. Last week was one
the exceptions. The deal opened

ferings. Diminishing reserves and the
poor condition of the winter wheat crop
continue to be the big bullish factors.
Milling demand is still slow but must
pick up soon. Argentina is not satisfied
with prevailing prices and quotations
from that country were advanced during
the week. There is a strong possibility
that there will be some reaction this
week from the advance in prices, but it
will be slight and may not materalize at
all. It looks to us as if the wheat market
had at last found its feet and will take
a firmer course from now on.

 

CORN
Last week was considered a dull period
in the corn market although prices gained

at some points. At Detroit both new and
old corn are higher in price than they
were one week ago. Prices made only
slight changes on the New York and
Chicago markets and at the end of the
week were at about the same level as at
the opening. Demand was fairly good but
receipts were liberal. Shipments from
Chicago amounted to around 1,300,000
bushels. The greater portion of this was
for export. Clearances of com from the
seaboard last week were heavy at
5.270.000 bushels. The total was SWelled
b the purchases made from the Bus-

ans. Receipts at Chicago aggregated
8,330,000 bushels. Reports come from
Argentine showing that the crop in that
country, owing to locusts and drought,
is not progressing very satisfactorily,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OATS
Oats which dropped again the fore part
of last week gained strength in sympathy

.with other grains and was influenced by

an improved export and domestic feeding
demand. The visible supply is slowly
dwindling and supplies on farms are
about nil. Buy oats now. They should
be a good investment whether you specu-
late on them or feed them.

RYE

The firm tone that has ruled the rye
market the past few weeks was strongly
in evidence last week and there was con-
siderable trading done during the fore
part and middle of the week. Prices
advanced on leading markets, the largest

strength last Week to last.

a few markets week before last barley

the tone becorne dull. Prices took a bad
slump at Chicago and barley is now
worth 55@60c per bushel at that point.
Prices are slightly higher at Detroit, be-

ing $1.15@$1.20 per cwt.

BEANS
The Detroit bean market makes us
nervous. It gained altogether too much

Look for a
drop on this market before the end of
the week. Other markets have firmed 11p
lately but there have been no important
price changes which confirm our suspicion
that the Detroit market is a manipulated
affair or eISe that an acute local shortage
has developed. When We say, “look for
lower prices," we don’t mean that beans
are going to slip back to $4 per 100 on
this market. There is no accumulation
of beans at consuming points, and the
demand is constantly improving. Can-
ners have stayed out of the market about
as long as they can and inquiry from
that source is constantly improving. But
when a market advances as fast as the
Detroit bean market did last week it
usually results in enough selling to cause
a temporary weakness in the market.
HOWever, beansare a much scarcer ar-
ticle today than they have been for a long
time and no matter how prices go they
cannot draw out supplies which do not
exist. We confidently predict that five
dollar beans are in sight.

a consequence. The announcement that

,top of the warm wave, is fixed be-

period will be in Michigan Fob. 17.
The storm wave, one day behind the

is expected to be most severe in
western Canada near Feb. 13 and in
eastern sections near Feb, 18.
Not much change in the location of

expected to be as good a crop-weather
month as January. Dry weather in .
the middle southwest *winter wheat
section will continue thru February.
Long ago I warned you of a shortage
in the Winter wheat crop. But some
other crop will make up for that
shortage; not in all sections of the
continent but in enough to prevent
the hungry wolf from entering the

that all receipts of good quality are
cleaned up but the undesirable grades
continue to accumulate and hold the mar-
ket back. Western markets are not re-
ceiving too much hay. Supplies are am.-
-ple for the existing demand, however.
and prices are steady.

 

SUGAR

Last week the leading sugar refining
companies advanced their price of refined
cane to 6 cents a pound, which iseome-
what above the average wholesale pride
for some weeks past. Export demand
nor sugar has improved greatly and
stocks on hand have depreciated. There
is also a general feeling that prices have
gone too low and that the visible supply
and prospective supply for the current
year will be no more than enough to take
care of demands. It seems certain that
the low point on this year‘s sugar mar-
ket has been seen. This is the opinion
of both manufacturers and large purl-
chasers. The better feeling in the sugar
market has affected sugar stocks and
nearly all the best stocks sold higher last
week than for some time past. Beet
growers should watch the daily quota-
tions on sugar and sugar ‘stocks. It will
be of help to them when they sign their
contract for the coming season’s acreage.

 

LIVE STOCK MARKETSI

The ca‘tle market is still in the "Slough
and Despond" with little hope of'pulling
out in less than another 30 days. On
Monday of last week, values scared but
they eased off on Tuesday's market and
all but the very best closed lower than
the bad close of the week before. Strict-
ly prime cattle were in light supply and
eastern order buyers contended with lo-
cal packers for the few that came to
hand. The top price for steers, last week
was $9.50. for yearlings $9_ Chicago re-
ceipts were 57,300 being 12,500 less than
the week before.

On the Chicago market, butchers cat-
tle sold off Considerably but canners and
cu ters were 25 to 40 cents per cwt. high-
er. Eastern dressed beef trade started
off in good shape, last Monday. but weak-
ness developed, later and all of the early
gain was lost. In sympathy with the
sluggish demand for finished cattle.
stockers and feeders are sharply lower.
The writer is willing to go on record as
favoring the purchase of feeding cattle
right now on the heels of recent declines.

The Chicago sheep and lamb trade was
just about steady with that of the week
before, except for the poorer grades of
lambs which are 25 to 30 cents lower
than the week before. The run for the
week, in Chicago, 78,000 being 12.000
below' the showing of the Week before
and 32,000 less than for the correspond-
ing day last year. The demand for
dressed mutton and lamb is hardly so
active as on this date last month. The
demand for feeding lambs holds up well,
prices ranging from $11.50 to $12.60.

Live hogs had a good big inning. last
week and the men who have been predict-
ing lower prices seem to be a good way
from home. The week's average price
at Chicago was $8.80 being higher than
on any preceding day since last August. '
Chicago arrivals for the week showed a
decrease, from the week be fore, of nearly
15,000 hogs.

On Saturday of last week, heavy hogs

. _ showed a gain over the same day of the

week‘before of 80 to 90 cents oer cwt.
average weights .run right
around 230 pounds, much lighter than
the wise ones were looking for but 8
pounds heavier than an eleven-year aver-
age. The combined receipts at 11 mar—
kets, last week, were. 640,000 being 19.-
000 smaller than the previous week and
much smaller any corresponding
week during the last seven years. '

All members of this association but one
is using a pure—bred bull.

Antrim County: Four cows of this as—
sociation produced over 50 pounds of but-
for fat during the month. 180 cows were
tested by E. W_ Fox and 12 of them
showed butter fat of over 40 pounds. C.
W. Fox is the owner oi.’ the high produc—
ing cow for the month whose test showed
55.2 pounds of butter tat.

Northern Van Buren County: 135 cows
tested by M. Thomas, 22 produced over
40 pounds of butter tat, 77.1 pounds of
butter fat was the record of a cow owned
by-L. H. Weber 8: Son. The special dairy
and alfalfa campaign held during the
month of December by the assistants
from the M. A. C. has stimulated inter-
est in better feeding methods and also
in tuberculosis testing. Only one member
is using a grade sire. all the rest having
pure-breds.

Lapeer County: H, Hoisington, tester
for this association. reports that the aver—
age production per cow for the past year
of 290 cows was 7,989 pounds of milk
and 304.93 pounds of butter fat. The
average cost of feed was $73.42 and the
value of the products per cow was
$160.97. Returns for every $1 expend-

Wayne County: E. Langworthy is the
owner of the high producing cow for the
month of Decem in this association.
Her test was 88.1 pounds. Feeding costs
in this association are the highest in the
