SALE TAX '

PPOSITION to passing practi-

cally the entire burden of the

proposed soldiers bonus to the
consumer and the_ heaviest portion
of the burden upon the farmers as
alclass has been expressed by the
Michigan State Farm Bureau in its
opposition to a sales, manufacturers
or conSumption tax as a means of
‘The
Farm Bureau has protested to Can-
gressmemFordney against such a tax,
declaring that it would be passed
along to the consumer in \all instam-
cos and would hear particularly
heavy on the farming population.
County farm bureaus
asked to send their opinions to con-
gress on the sales ‘tax, matter.

The Farm Bureau is taking no
stand as to 'whether the solth

does oppose a tax that will enable
everyone to get out from in under

ably find many necessities in life

upon those with small incomes and
lightly on those with larger incomes,
whose surpluses or savings would
escape.

The American Farm Bureau says
thatunderssalcstuthetarmer
would pay half of whatever sum
was raised under the bonus, as the
farmer cannot pass his end of the

farmer cannot pass his end of the
sales tax on to any consumer. but
manufacturers and other strong con-
cerns can and have been able to in-
clude the tax in the price or their
product and pass it on to him.
Therefore. the tanner would pay his
sales tax and as much of the other.

to him as a part of the purchase
price of their commodities, a: the
opinion of the A. F. B. F.

The bonus will require the raising
of about 33.000.000.000. If an aver-
age of 8500 should be paid each vet-

tanner would stand half of it or one
billion dollars as the consumer of
half the goods used in the coun-
try; that amount divided among the
6,000,000 farms in the country
would mean an additional average
tax of $166 per farm. Today those
6,000,000 farms have an average

~labor income of $495 with a pre-

war purchasing power of $219, the
national Farm Bureau said. ’

HE sun is again beginning to shine on the

American farmer. Farm prices have taken

a definite upward trend in the last few weeks

giving the best evidence that the farmer has seen

in’the last year that the tide of deflation has defi-
nitely turned. '

“Ten dollar hogs." During the last week or e

two, this phrase has taken the place of the con-
ventional “Nice day" as a greeting among farm-
ers in the corn belt. If there was an optimist
courageous enough last November to predict that
hogs would sell above $10 .at Chicago in early
'February he has not yet come forward to accept
the hand painted swill barrel. Three months
ago there was no foundation of fact to suggest
such a smart upturn in the hog market as .has
occurred. Yet it is here, and it is legitimate.
Even the hog packers, who are supposed to
have the edge on everybody else, when it comes
to sources of information, failed to buy hogs
freely at the beginning of the winter expecting
that the receipts would run heavy enough to de-
press the price down around $6 a ,hundred at
which level they planned to fill their cellars

with lard and meats to be sold at higher prices .

during the scarcity period which develops in
late summer. ‘ ‘

Instead, seven-eighths of the winter packing
season have slipped away. Their cellars are not
quite in the same state as Mother Hubbard's
cupboard, but they are decidedly understocked
for this season of the year and the average price
of hogs at Chicago is up to $10. That the pack-
ers are chagrined is one way of putting it; that
they are “as sore as a lot of boiled owls” is
another.

A number of factors have conspired to bring
about the upturn. The number of hogs slaugh—
- tered in the 15 weeks after November 1, accord-
ing to the most comprehensive report obtain-
able covering dour-fifths of the probable total in-
spected slaughter for the entire country has been
15 per cent less than in the same period of the
preceding year. Evidently the number of hogs
in the country on September 1 was less than the
government’s figures, cholera lomes were severe
last fall and a lot of gilts’ are being held back
for breeding purposes. »

Pork consumption, judging by the rate of dis-

appearance, is unusually heavy. The improve-_

ment in the general business outlook and the
increase in employment has helped to enlarge
the outlet for hog meats. Exports of la’rd set a
new record in 1921 and 1921 exports of both
lard and meats were 75 per cent larger than
the pro-war average. Clearances in 1922 thus
far have run ahead of the same period of 1921.

The has market will not remain indefinitely
on such a profitable basis above the corn market
as hog production eventually will“ be stimulated
until it will reach 'a level above normal. This
Word of caution should not be overlooked. Never-
theless. the hog market still has a number of
months of prosperity ahead of it and it. remains

to be seen whether the coming spring pig crop

will be too large to sell profitably.

There were the best of reasons to. expect that
the sheep and lamb market would work out of
the mire during the last fall and early winter
but to forecast that they would advance 75 to
100 per cent in prise in a few months would
have indicated the need of a competent alienist.

Wool has been relieved in a rather mysterious
manner at the big stock which overhung the
market a year ago and quotations on various
grades and in various locations show advances
ranging from 50 to 100 per cent. ‘

The endless revision or the world’s wheat sup-
ply situation has gone entirely in one direction
in the last two.th and the result is a situa-
tion admittedly uncomfortable to consumers.
The market has‘made a signal response to' it in
I the lasttew weeks and the and evidently is not

which is significant evidence that a general turn
for the better has set in. The showing is even
more pronounced when the enormous sales of
corn in the last few weeks, exceeding any like
period on record, are taken into consideration.

The cattle market has been slow to respond
to the advances elsewhere but even steers are
now higher than when the tide was at low ebb.
Judging by what has happened in the hog and
lamb markets, cattle are due for an upturn.

Farmer Hears MysteriOus Voices of the Ether

(Editor s Note: The follcmring is one of several com-
munications received upon the subject of the radio—

phone, It would- be interesting to know just how
many members of the M. B. F. family have receiv-
ing outfits, Tell us, will you?)

N the Feb. 18th issue of the M. B F. on page
2 you mention “Radio News Service En-
larged” but you failed to make your article com-
plete in that you omitted two very important
essentials, i. e., the staion call letters and the
wave length upon which this information or news
is sent.

Every station, private business, amateur or
government has and must have a call letter or
letters by which listeners are enable'd to identi-
fy the station sending out a message. Also all
stations must operate on a given wave length
(authorized by the government.)

Now for the farmer, his wife or son listening
for the market service, there would be days, yes
months of “tuning-in" trying to hear this ser—
vice, not knowing its wave length, but should
he kriow it, he could tune for a station, and upon
hearing it or any station wait for them to “sign
off" and identify the station.

. On page 12, your editorial page, you again
speak of wireless telephony, and ask if any of
your readers have installed sets.

I am one of your subscribers and readers, who
has such a set, and all through the winter my
wits and I have attended church on Sunday
evening, by listening to .the services oi the Cal-
vary Episcopal churc-h of Pittsburg Pa., as sent
out by the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Co. I .

We have listened night after night to the
Grand Opera from Chicago. concerts, lectures,
speeches, songs, recitals, instrumental music oi
all kinds by the best talent; this from “sending
stations in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Newark, N. J.,
Roselle Park, N. J., Detroit, andrse‘veral times
have hehrd the Fire and Police Protection Dept.
of Dallas, Texas. send out notices of stolen auto-
mobiles. '  .

But let me any right here, on my farm, my
outfit has cost me over $50 and it is home made

ins'macmnc made, as not only do you get music,

Events are shaping up in such a way that th-
change may materialize in the spring months.
Production of poultry and eggs has been stimu—
lated as farmers have had to depend upon them
for ready cash and prices paid have been nee ,
munerative most of the time. Receipts’of both 
at the leading markets have been running 30‘
to 40 per cent more than a year ago. A sharp
decline occurred in late December and early
January so that stock placed in storage are
selling in most cases below cost when placed I v
storage. But prices for both trash butter .
fresh eggs are much higher than they were when I
the market was at the bottom last spring. 
All told more than a score of the leading farm 
products are selling substantially higher than, 
they sold at some time or other during 1921. I
The percentage of advance which present prices ‘
upon a number of commodities show Over the
lowest price quoted upon each during 1921 is
given in the accompanying table: .

Boston quotations are used for wodl, Kansas ;
City for kafir, Minneapolis on flax and Michigan .
shipping point prices for beans. All the rest of
the quotations are for Chicago.

Financial distress among farmers was and still
is far too severe to be entirely allayed by the.”
effects of such advances, some of which may
have been due to seasonal fluctuations but the
movement is entirely too sharp and general to ‘
account for more than'a minor part of it on that
basis. Of its profound healing influence upon
the wounds of agriculture there can be no doubt.

Some of our papers throughout the state have
said that a. receiving outfit for this service can I
be made for $2.00. It can’t be done—the tele- V
phone receivers allone (the cheapest ones of
2,000 ohms resistance) cost $4.50. But should 
you be within 25 or 50 miles of one of these ,
broadcasting stations, $10.00 will see you‘ ,
through and you can hear that particular station
clearly.

For over 20 years I have experimented with
wireless off and on, and last 7 years have had
a license as operator (amateur first grade) and
a station license (calil 8NU) fora sending set.

Unfortunately we in this locality are geogra-
phically and wirelessly poorly located, as we, are e 
in a freak area and reception is not of the best, '3, '- ’
whereas when I was living in Royal Oak (can 
SAOZ then 8GZ) I could hear all there was to
hear and was heard east and west when I talked
over the key.

But coming down (after this long wind-jam-
ming spell) to brass tacks, our country, schools
or churches as social centers should have such'
receiving sets as will enable them to hear the
good things in the air that are free to all, and
enjoy collectively as a social group what they
could not afford to enjoy singly.

I have avoided anything technical, and could
write a volume on the subject, but believe it =
would pay you to write the Westinghouse Elec'. ,
tric & Manufacturing Co., at Pittsburgh, Chicago. j
and Newark for copies of their weekly programs. _

.ff‘ATEMENTS by certain Michigan dairy lead:

 
  

to milk are 'being refuted every day or so.
ently Mr. E. B. Heaten,, director of" dairy
marketing of the American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration, made’ a tour of inspection of a number
of co-operative dairying enterprises 'in Canada,
‘New York and New England,.and makes special
‘2 comment of two highly successful co-operative
 marketing projects in a recent issue of the A.
'f F. B. F. News Letter, as follows:
 "‘We studied two lecals of special interest to
’ dairymen. One is the Windham County Co-
perative Milk Producers, Inc., at Brattleboro,
.Vltz', and the other is the Producers’ Dairy
Company, at Brockton, Mass.
‘_ ._“"I‘-he Windham county company was orga-
 so that the farmers in that section of Ver-
mont could keep the market which they "had
, ,Ia individuals. These farmers had been selling
3. 'milk to ,the city of Springfield, Mass., for many
fl y'ears. Theirs is a co-operative corporation with
7378.11 authorized capital stock of $50,000 divided
into 5,000.sha.res-of par value of $10 each. No
member of the association can hold shares of a.
greater par value than 10 per cent of the
authorized capital stock, and no member shall
‘ be entitled to vote by proxy. A member has only
one vote. It is provided in the by—laws that the
,2 directors shall annually set aside as a reserve
a fund 10 per cent of the net profits until the ac-
: 'cnmulated reserve fund equals 30 per cent of the
‘ paid-mp capital. From the net profits remain-
 ing, the directors shall annually set aside as a
sinking fund, 10 per cent thereof to be applied
upon the mortgage indebtedness until such is
paid in full. They then shall pay from the net
profits remaining, up to or including 6 per cent
of the net paid-up capital stock of the corpora-
tion. Any balance remaining shall be appor-
tioned once each 12 months, according to the
apportionate value of the products each member
. has sold to the corporation. These people at the
present time have a plant which cost them $60,-
000, and with machinery costing an additional
sum of $25,000. Thirty thousand pounds of milk
are taken in daily, 70 per cent of which is
shipped as wholesale milk to Springfield and‘ 30
per cent surplus is marketed as sweet cream. The
members of this co-operative organization are
.‘ required to take shares on the basis of $25 per
‘ cow of the average number of cows kept in a
herd during a year’s time. At the present time
all but $18,000 rworth of stock is paid in full.

NE of the favorite weapons used by the Chi—
cago Board of Trade in its propaganda to
discredit the efforts of honest men to develop
a better marketing system is the salary list of
the various farmers’ organizations. It charged
that salaries as high as $16,000 a year were
paid by the Grain Growers when as a matter of
fact the highest salary ever paid by this orga-

r .  nization was $10,000 a year. But farmers as a
..;rule are opposed to high salaries and the charges
have borne fruit. But if any farmer organization
"is handing out “juicy plums" in the shape of

 of. the organization, as the Grain Growers have
recently discovered.

a ' Board of Trade speakers appearing before con-
.«,:;gressional bodies in defense of the institution
 have laid great stress upon the “economy” and
’ "efliciency" of the existing methods of marketing
grain. They have attempted to [show that the
grain dealer’s margin on the average transaction
in grain was infinitesimal small. But extracts
rwently uncovered from the official “History of
the Chicago Board of Trade,” by Chas. H. Taylor,
a former director of the organization, show that
some of these profits were not" as small. Here
are a few of them: '

“James Keene controlled the market the first
five months of the year. He took hold . . . at
90 and 95 cents. Under the belief that the mar-

, ket was being cornered, the price rose . . . to

O sooner did the Detroit Creamery
Company complete its “highly satis-
factory” fiscal year covering most of .

1921 than it set about to force the farm.- 7-
ers' price down another notch. In this
they were successful and at 'a meeting
of distributors andproducers’ representa-
tives ‘ last Friday the farmers’ price for
March was ‘fixod zit-$2.17 per,cwt., or 4.6
cents per quart and the retail price at"
12 cents per quart. For the farmer this
represents a reduction from last month of
84 cents per cwt., and for the consumer
1 cent per quart. In‘two years the price
paid the farmer has dropped 50 .per cent
and the price charged the consumer 33

Detroit Spread is High

Former Governor Fred» L. Warner calls the
attention’of the. Business Farmer lto the large
_“spread" between producers’ and consumers’
prices in the Detroit area. “I have observed."
said Mr. Warner, -"“;that the spread in the De-
troit area invariably is greater than the spread
in nearly all other comparable areas of ‘the‘
United States." J

This " is a fact which the Business Farmer has
frequently noted and commented upon. It
shows one 0 two things: Either that the De-

troit distributors are woefully incompetent orv

that the Producers’ Association has no power
in fact to Secure the same treatment as is ac—
corded producers in other areas.

Let us take a look" at the official Bureau of -

Markets report on-fluid milk prices for the
month of February. In comparing these prices

_ bear in mind always that a difference of ap-

proximately 47 cents per cth. is equivalent to
1 cent per quart. The price paid the farmer in
the Detroit area was $2.51. The consumer was
charged 13 cents, a spread of 7.6 cents per quart.
San Francisco paid the farmers $3.11 and
charged the consumer 12 and 13, a spread of 6
cents. The, spread in Chicago was 7 ,cents;
Baltimore, 6.2c; Boston, 60;. Minneapolis and
St. Paul, 5c; Rochester, N. Y..,‘ 6.6c; Cincinnati,
6.5c; Grand Rapids, 5.50. The above cities paid
farmers for the "mouth of February the follow-
ing prices: . ,
Chicago, $223-$233; Baltimore, $2.73—$3.15;

Minneapolis, $2.30; Rochester, $3.49; Cincin—
nati, $2.60; Grand Rapids, $2.12.
Under the new price -in the Detroit area

which is for March only the spread is 7.4 cents,
by far the highest'spread in the entire United
States.

9. If?" {THING :to have value must be  .such‘la Lnaé

 "tare that it will satisfy some want which
man has. That is, it must be useful, Also for
a thing to have value and enter into the markets
it.muSt be scarce. Tak-ing‘as basic the quality
of usefulness let us stu y the problem of scar-
city further.  _ . I ' _ ~

A thing might be scarce at-one time of the
year and not so at S another. Likewise, a thing

might be scarce at one place and exist in super- .

-abundance- at other places. Potatoes exist in
' quantities in excess of the demand for them ,at
harvest time and unless they can be kept over
until other times would necessarily spoil. The
amount of the crop is greatly in excess of the

demand for potatoes at the immediate time of '

harvest Therefore if it is impossible to hold-
them over until some other time they would
- have a very low value on the market. This con-
dition exists ‘at times'when there is a glutted
market. Man has realized that agricultural pro-
ducts are produced during seasons and that
there is a demand for them during the entire
year. People want‘ potatoes every day in the
year. So in order to make it possible that we
can have potatoes at all times it has become
necessary to store them. By. sterage we are
enabled \to ‘hold things over from a period when
there is an excessive amount onvhand to times
when there are none being harvested. 2

There are some products which do not ~lend
themselves very. readily to storage. Such pro—
ducts as eggs and butter cannot be held over
from the time of surplus to the times of scar-
city under ordinary conditions of storage. It
was not until cold storagefacilities were made
available that such was possible. If we were to
follow the prices of eggs by months over a period
of years we would. find that they have been more
uniform from menth to month since we haye had
adequate cold storage facilities. If it were not
for cold storage of eggs prices would be very low
during the months of high production, and very
high during the months of low production. The
farmers wouldsecure avvery low price for eggs
during the summer months and it is very prob-
able that they would not be able to secure a
market for all their eggs under any considera-
tion. During the winter months when hens were
not laying there would be very few eggs coming
into the market and the prices would be very

"mmuch higher than under present conditions.

Cold storage dealers ofier a market during
'these months of low prices and tend to keep the
price of eggs up. During the winter months
those cold storage eggs are put onto the market

.and tend to keep the price of eggs at a lower

level than they would otherwise do. A180 if it
were not for such storage there would not be
enough eggs to satisfy the demand for them in
the winter regardless. of that the price might be.
Thesame condition exists in relation to all other
products which can be stored at all. Wheat, po—
tatoes, beans, cotton, sugar and all other pro-
ducts which are seasonal in production are held
over until the time when the harvest is not sup-
plying the market. If man could not store goods
fromtime to time he would be compelled to live
from day .to day on What he! could gather up.
Storage is one of the most important of man’s
activities in connection with his getting a living.

Potatoes are grown in the vicinity of Cadillac
in a. greater quantity than needed to supply the
demand for them in that locality. Such a great
quantity of potatoes cannot possibly be used by
the people of that vicinity. Unless it were pos—
sible to get them to ‘other localities the farmers
would either have to lose a great part of their
yearly crop or grow fewer potatoes. ' It is by
some form of transportation that goods are taken
from places where they exist in a quantity great—
er than needed to places where they are scarce.
Potatoes are taken from the Cadillac section
where they exist in a surplus quantity to other
places where none are ~~growm and there is scar-
city. Therefore transportation gives value to
goods because it adjusts quantities as to place.

The farmer who grows beans produces more
than sufficient to supply his own needs. In order

. that they become of some value to 'him he must

get them to some place where they are scarce
and get them there at a time when they~are
wanted. Two of the greatest services of man is
supplying his wants are those by which he ad-
justs the location of goods and keeps them from
the times of surplus to the times of scarcity.
Scarcity of goods must be considered in rela-
tion to time and place. There might be scarcity
of a product at one place and the price there-
fore be very high, while at another place there
might be a surplus and the price be very low or

stakes with Abundance oats at Chicago Grain and
Hay show. These I have growing along side
of Victory. Both of these varieties I have found
to be panticularly well adapted for our district.
If flhe‘land is dry I begin to sow Victory oats

’on summer fallow or land that had been seeded

down about the middle of April as a rule‘. I con-
sider the Victory oats one of the best varieties
ever introduced into Western Canada although
not'quite as fine an appearing oat as is the Abun—

straw than any other eat I have «tried. The aver-
age yield for five years of this variety has been

all while at another season there is a sherta

The great problem with which man had
to deal is that of making the products "376

problem of commerce. This must be accom

way it is necessary that a careful study of the;2
problem be made. If we are to have this work“

all will secure what is jus‘tly due each'these
things must be done so that a just price Will re?
sult. A‘ just price is one which is justuto the
producer and the consumer as well. A price is
just to the producers when it enables them ‘to ’
continue in business and furnish the things need-
ed by others. A price is just to the consumers
when it enables them to secure' the things which
they need in a quantity sufficient to supply their
reasonable demands. v

It is very difficult to state whether any parti—
cular price is a just price or not. Every tact-01“
entering into the determination of price in the;
market must be studied and given due consid-l
eration. The problems in connection with pro-
duction must be studied from various stand-
points. It is said that prices are determined by
the supply of a product on the market and the
demand for it. This is‘ a true statement of a
basic tendency but we cannot explain prices un-
less we explain the factors which determine sup;
ply and demand. The factors which enter into the
supply of a product are many. In the next ar-
ticle the factors which enter into demand will ,
be considered. ~~

as individual selection. I might explain, mass ..
selection consists of continuous selection from
the best' each year being based upon the Dar-r.
winian idea that selection in this way produces j
a cumulative effect. In individual selection the
single plant is made the starting point. A num-f ‘:
ber of superior plants are selected and the seed 
obtained sown separately in order that the pie-
geny may be studied and the best propagated.
It is from the later method that my Victory
prize winning cats were produced.

I find that by hand selection I am able to
maintain purity. To increase the uniformity of
ripening as well as increase the yield making
the plants more disease resistant besides im-
proving the stiffness of straw and improving
on the quality and color in the grain. a‘ . _‘

These remarks about hand, selecting grain-{é
should not be construed to mean that seed Mae-‘1
lection is of greater importance than proper
methods of cultivating and fertilizing the soil;_.';;:
both should go hand in hand. No matter hoW"-5z
productive a variety of grain may be if your, soilej
is poor it will be impossible to secure .a. goddfl
crop. On the other hand no matter how rich their-f»
soil unless the variety of grain grown is of sue

BOUND BY CONTRACT

A person signed a contract to take
correspondence lessons from a certain
school. and after a. few days found that
he could not take up the work required
on account of his poor health and duties
that took all available times. He wrote
the institution asking to be released from
the contract, which they refused. Can
he be forced to take the lessons, and can
he be forced to pay the monthly pay-
ments when he is not receiving or taking
the lessons and has not at any time?—
Mrs, M, 12,, Battle Creek. Mich.

The person who signs an order
for lessons has the right of cancel-
lation at any time before ’written
acceptance by the publisher. A re-
quest to be released would not be
sufficient. It would require a can—
cellation but if the publisher of the
lessons accepted the order in writ-
ing, it then became a contract and
both parties would be bound there-
by according to its terms irrespec-
tive of whether the one who signed
the order was able to take advantage
of lessons or not—Legal Editor.

cially in the higher fields. Greait educa-
tors are even raising the cu wheth-
er or not the twentieth century course
of study in air public schools does not
lead to a. dislike for hard work and a.
desire to take up easy occupations. The

average boy out of high school would be
ashamed to be seen working at manual

fisbon and certainly be has no intentions

of continuing that kind of work, If we
educate all of our boys through the high

sional men, tradesmen, skilled artisans.

be made along that line, But it is doubt-
ful it machinery can ever entirely dis-
place the brown of the individual. But,

base ball and basket ball down among
the useless things thatmay be taught-in
the high schools. There is nothing Which
will better train a boy to be quxck, ac-

' ’ . Not the
men ho has bought bonds for he
«hasn‘t pay taxes, nor the men who
has money on interest tor he can
hide it. It is the farmer and the
men who am a. little home in
town who pays the taxes.

How much out or! every dollar
which the state rules. to build good
roads do we get on ' the- roads?
About 30 cents on the dollar and I
will prove it. The state built nine
miles of road under the Covert ’act -
one mile east of me. It goes in trout
ofoneofmytarms. Twomileeot
this road was a. little rolling but no
big hills. The rest was level. The
job was let to grade this road and
gravel it 16 feet wide, for $96,000.
They got the gravel close at bend,
did not have to have it. shipped by -
cars. Thus:r have spent all of the
money and still the road isn’t’fln-

'ished. Thismad ha'sagoodcoat

of gravel but a poor grade. 'The
ditches on the side of the road are
not dug deep enough. I have to pay
my share of the tax that is spread
on the town. More than one-half!
of the money that was spent on this

road went 'out of the town.

Our town 01 Denmark. one mile
west of this road, built one mile of
road in front of one of my terms.
This road was graded last tall and

'graveled this winter. They made a

great deal better road had, good big
ditches on each side so we can drain
our land into it. You can’t find a
better road bed in Michigan. The.
overseer or this road was one of our
neighbors and he took great pride
in making the road. The gravel is
12 feet wide,. and is thicker and-as
good as on the other road. This
road will cost $3,106 complete.
$3,000 at this money goes back in
the town. and $100 went to Sagi-
naw to pay for sum It gave
us all a. chance to work out our
taxes. And I think our «town road
is the best even it it was built by
a plain farmer boy, but he just
built'it [the common sense way, used
his brains instead of blue—prints.

I came here 42 years ago, right
in the woods and have cleared and
improved and built buildings on
two farms 'in hopes that they would
support me when I got old. I am
past 66 and when I look out on. my‘
old beautiful farms and think
how high I have to pay for the

selt. We only know of the two he
was caught at. There may be three
or tour innocent people serving a
life sentence for murders he com-
mitted. No one knows how many

httle children are going hungry and

cold because their provider and pro-
tector was killed by Gipsy Bob or
one of his kind. Now where was
Gipey Bob when this last murder
was committed? HE WAS AT-
TENDING THE MOVIES. Just get
that, will you. A man tried and
convicted of murder, sentenced to
the movies for punishment. No
doubt his" pockets were filled with
Hetelheys or carmefls and had he
waited until they (the movies)
were qyer and went back to his cell
he would reach up on the shelf for
a can of Prince Albert or package
of Fatimas, select a book and pro—
ceed to enjoy the evening while the
wife of one of his victims is Work-
ing overtime sweeping and scrub-
bing ofllcebuild'mgs and corridors
to get the bare necessities for her—
self and babies. Can she attend
the movies? Why no, of course not,
that is unless she murders someone.

Why did Gip Bob commit his lasi
murder? Simply because he har
nothing to lose, and everything to
gain. He was already sentenced for
life so if he murdered a warden
every day they could not add am
more to his sentence. Where tin
does the trouble lie. I will copy an
extract from an eastern paper de-
scri-‘bfimg one of iiheir prisons.

"The cell block is or the latest a1
proved fashion, with running wate:
light,‘ ventilation, and best of all, a
splendid view of the open country
The prisoners are well fed, we‘
housed, considerater treated, anr‘
have plenty of recreation, reading
and amusement.”

In some poisons a small percent
age is turned back to prisoners and
show are allowed to buy oamdy and
other dalnties'that the wives and
children of their victims are not able
to even look at. It must be some
punishment for a criminal to be
sentenced to a prison like that de-
scnibed above. .

Our prisons used to be places oi!
punishment, but now they are a
Best Refuge where overworked
criminals rest and recuperate, when
at the earliest opportunity they are
pardoned by some lame brained
governor and sent back to prey on
a "hard working public. Our con-
gressmen and candidates for the
state legislature tell us of the big
things they will do (for state and ne-
tion if elected, and utter elected
about the first thing they do is to
ask for an appropriation of 'steen
millions to found a home for dis-
abled ukulele players or home for

toothless tomcats and he gets it.

Then along comes a Rabid Re-
ilomnerr emd Sentimental Mamie with
a bill to raise ten millions more to
build tennis courts and croquet
lawns at-our prisons for those poor
men that were sent there just be-
caiise they killed a few gray (haired
old'tolkrs to get the savings they had
put away to keep them from want
in their old ago. Yes, sir, that's all -
they did was just to kill some one.
They, didn’t steal any wooden nut-
megs or agile pills or a. mans like
that and it Is 11on the pint them
up for a little thing like murder

They get it. too. >

do get there, and are ready to play
a cameo: billiards with man No.

prison, it will be just your luck to
be pardoned. ‘

I think the whole thing can be
summed up in the words, “red
tape," technicalities’ and "'lnefii-
clency." It a prisoner doesn't die
of old age during the red tape of
bringing him to trial, then the law-4
yer gets him oil on a "technicality."

Nor are you arguing for capital pun-

best argument there is against capital
punishment when you say, “there may be
three or four innocent people serving
life sentences for the crimes he commit-

more terrible it would have been had
we had capital punishment. Instead of
being in prison and alive these innocent
people would have paid the death pen<

she had known a girlhood in which

the flowers bloomed and the. birds
sang. She tried to look back, butshe

could not see very far. She could not

vision that day, less than a year ago,
when Miki, "an angular pup, came
down‘out of the Farther North with
Challoner; she could not vision the
strange comradeship between the pup
and Neewa, the little black bear cub,
nor thattragic day when“ they had
fallen out of Challoner’s canoe into
the swift stream that had carried
them over the waterfall and into the
Great Adventure which had turned
Neewa into a’ grown bear and Miki
into a wild dog. But. in her heart
she felt the things which she could
not see. Miki had not come by
chance. Something greater than
that had sent him.

Sherose quietly, so that she would
not waken the baby in the crib, and
opened the door. The moon was just
rising over the forest and through
the glow of it she went to the cage.
She heard the dog’s joyous whine,
and then she felt the warm caress
of his tongue upon her bare hands
as she thrust them between the sap—
ling bars. ,

“Non, non; you are not a devil,”
she cried softly, her voice filled with
a strange tremble. “O-o-ee, my Soke—
taao, I prayed, prayed—and you
came. Yes, on my knees eaéh night
I prayed to Our Blessed Lady that
she might have mercy on my baby,
and make the sun in heaven shine
for her through all time. And you
came! And the dear God does not
send devils in answer to prayer.
Non; never!" A

And Miki,_as though some spirit
had given him- the power to under-
stand, rested the weight of his
bruised and- beaten head on her
hands.

From the edge of the forest .Du-
rant was watching. He had caught
the flash of light from the door and
had seen Nanette go to the cage. and
his eyes did not leave her until she
returned into the cabin.‘ He
laughed as he want "to his fire and
finished making ,the wahgun he was
fastening to the end of long pole.
This wahgun and the, pole added to
his own cleverness were saving hi‘m -
twelve good fox skins, and be con-
tinued to chuckle there in the fire-
glow as he thought how easy it was
to beat a woman’s wits. Nanette
was a fool to refuse the pelts, and
Jacques was—dead. It was a most
lucky combination of circumstances
for him. Fortune had surely come
his way. I
the wild dog, he would g’Imble all
that he possessed in the big fight.
And he would win.

He waited until the light in the
cabin went out before he approached
the cage again. Miki heard him
coming. At a— co‘nsiderable distance
he saw him, for the moon was al-
ready turning the night into day.
Durant-knew the ways of dogs. With
them he employed a superior reason
where Le Beau had used the. ,club‘
and the rawhide. So he came up
openly and boldly, and, as if by ac-
cident, dropped the end of the pole
between. the bars. With his hands
against the cage, apparently .‘un—
afral’d, he began talking in _a casual
way. ’ He was different from Le
Beau. ,
for a space and then let his eyes
rest again on the darkened “cabin.

carrying Miki in his» arms. Nanette’s
slow wits wOuld never guess, he told
himself. She would think that 19
beta had escaped into the forest;
It was not his scheme to club Miki
into serfdom, as Le Beau had failed.
to do. Durant was wiser than that.
In his crude and merciless way he
had come to know certain phe-
n'omena of the animal mind. He was
not a psychologist; on ' the- other
hand brutality had not utterly
blinded him. So,’ instead of lashing
Miki to the sledge as Le-Beau had
fastened him to his improvised drag,
Duran-t made his captive comfort-
able, covering him with a warm
blanket before he began his journey
eastward. He made sure, however,
that there was no flaw in the muz-
zle about Miki’s jaws, and that the
free end of the chain to which he
was still fastened was well hitched
to the Gee-bar of his sledge.
Whenthese things were done Dr,

ering his profits, and for half a dozen
successive years he had won at the
big annual gdog' fight at Post Fort
0’ God. But this year he had been
half afraid. His fear had not been
of Jacques Le Beau and Netah, but
of the halfbreed away. over on Red
Belly Lake. Grouse Piet was the
halfbreed’s name, and the “dog”
that he was going to put up at'the
fight was half wolf. Therefore, in ‘ -
the foolish eagerness of his desire, .
had Durant offered «two cm" foxes
and ten reds-F—the price .of ii. . dogs
and not one—for the possession of .
he had ,him for nothing. and Na-
nette waspoorer by twelve skins,\he
Le Beau’s wild dog. And now that
was happy. For he had now a good
match for Grouse Piet’s half wolf,
and he would chance his m-oneyand'
his credit at the Post to the limit. - '

,When Miki came back ‘to his
senses Durants'topped his dogs, for
he had been watching closely for
this moment. He-bent over the

 

 

Beau’s brutal way, but in a careless

mittened hand he patted his cap-
tive’s head. This was a new thing I

CHAPTER NINETEEN
URING' the last few days in De-
cember all trails for ten thous-
and square miles around led to
Post Fort 0’ God. It was‘ the eve
of Ooske Pipoon—of the New Year
—-—the mid—winter carnival time of
the peeple of the wilderness, when
“from teepees and cabins far and
near come the trappers and their
families to sell their furs and cele-
bralte for a few days with others of
their kind.“ To this New Year gath-
ering men, women and children look
forward through .long . and weary
months. The trapper’s wife has no
neighbors. Her husband’s “line” is
a little kingdom inviolate, with no
olther human life within many miles
of it; so for the women the Ooske
Pipoon is a'time of rejoicing; for the
children it is the “big circus,” and
for the men\ a reward for the labour
and hardship of catching Itheir fur.
During thse few days old acquaint-
anceships are renewed andnew ones
are made. It is here that the “news”
of the trackless Wilderness is spread,
(the news of deaths, of marriages,
and of births; of tragic happenings
that bring - horror and grief and
tears, and of others that bring
laughter and joy. For the first and
last time in all the seven months’
winter the people of the forests
“come to town.” Indian, halfbreed,
“blood,” and white man, join in the
holiday Without distinction of colour
or creed. .

This year there was to be a great
caribou roast, a huge barbecue, a
Fort 0’ God, and by the time Henri
Duranlt came within half a dozen
miles of the Post the trails :from
north' and south and east and west
Were beaten hard by the tracks of
dogs and men. That year a hundred
sledges came in from the forests,
and with them were three hundred
men and women and childrem and
half a thousand dogs. .

,Durant was a day later than he
had planned to be, but he had made
good use of his (time. For Miki,
while still muzzled, now followed at
the end of the babiche rthat was tied
to Henri’s sledge. In this afternoon
of the third day after Ileaving Na-
nette Le Beau's cabin Durant turned
off the main-travelled trail until he

came to the shack of Andre’ Ribon, ,

who kept the Factor and his people
at the Post supplied with fresh meat.
Andre, who was becoming ever-
anxious at Durant’s delay, was still
waiting when his friend came. It
was here that Henri’s Indian had
left ,his fighting dog, the big husky.
And here he left Miki, locked in
Andre’s shack. Then the two men
went on to the Post which was only
a mile away. 7‘

Neither he nor Ribon returned
The cabin was empty.
And with the beginning of dusk
Miki began to hear weird and
strange sounds which grew louder. as
darkness settled deeper. It was the
sound of the carnival at the Post——
the distant «tumult of human voice
mingled with (the bowling of a hun-
He had never heard any—
thing like it before, and fora long
time he listened without moving.
Then he stood up like a man before
the window with his fore-paws rest-
ing against the heavy sash. Ribon’s
cabin was at the crest of a knoll that
over-looked the frozen lake, arid far
off, over «the tops ofrthe scrub tim-
ber that fringed the edge of, it, Miki
saw the red glow ‘in the sky made

‘ by a score'of great camp fires. 7 He

whined, and dropped on” his four feet

"again... It was ,aflong'wait between

thatand another day. But the
cabin was more comfortable than
Le"Beau’s prison-cage had been. Alll
through the night his restless slum-

 ber Was, filled with ,visiqns of Na- '
j nettezand thebaby.‘ " "

m Costs have so lowered that average building costs
are not likely to decrease for some time.

In any event, the profit a Jamesway barn will make for you
each year you use it, will far offset any possible saving that can

be effected by waiting.

For example, drinking cups alone
should pay two-thirds the cost of the
entire barn. Tests have proved that
on the average, Jamesway cups in-
crease the profits from eachcow $14.01
during the cold weather season.

A James planned barn, cemplete
with James equipment, Jamesway in-

Is It Another Gold Brick? ,

« HE failure of the federal farm loan
2 banks to meet the recent agricultural

credit emergency suggests that another gold
' brick has been handed to farmers. The auth-
“ors of the act meant well. They intended to
hand the farmers a banking system which they
could control and make themselves independ-
ent of deposit banking. But they reckoned
without their hosts of enemies. No sooner
did the measure become a law than its enemies
got busy. Here are a. few of the things they
have done during the brief life of the system:

> 1. Tied up the system for over a year by at-
tacking its constitutionality.

2. Deprived the farmer-borrowers of their
legal rights to elect a majority of the directors
of the land bank. The act clearly vests con-
trol of these banks in the farmer stockholders,
~ Jun, as Senator Fletcher points out, “here are
. . 139,000 stockholders—men who have subscribed

for that stock and paid for it, and who have a
double lliabi'lity’ resting upon them, the same lia-
fihility that the stockholder in a national bank
has, and yet not one of them has a voice in the
selection of a single director to take part in, con-
ducting the affairs of these banks. And the Fed-

eral Farm Loan Board has recently recommend-
ed that this injustice be perpetuated.
3. Secured rulings which greatly limit the
number of farmers who can qualify to borrow
 and force farmers to wait so: or seven months
L or longer after putting in their applications be-
fore receiving their loans. “All oflorts," says
Senator Fletcher, “are being made to limit the
call on the Federal land banks by the farmers
of this country for the loans which they _ so
. urgently need, which they have never needed
so badly as now. The effect is to limit. the opera-
tion of the system, whereas congress intended
that it should not only be operated with dili—
gence» and with real energy and with encourage-
ment to the farmers of the country to utilize it,
«but that it should be extended as required to
meet their needs.”
 4. Raised ‘ a nation-wide cry against tax ex-
empt securities which make possible the low rates
of interest on federal and bank loans. For
 and years municipalities, states and na-
tion have issued tax—free bonds and no one has
; ones-ed a single objection. But when a few
- hundred million dollars worth of federal land
bank bonds are put on the market to raise money
'to roman to farmers at a. low rate of interest
everyone whose iron is crowded out of theiire
uddcnly discovers that the tax-tree bond is an

‘ geing tozwait   has come to
arrange for the credit which they will need to
run their farms the coming season. With. the
aid of Agricultural Agent B. E. Shaffer they
aregoingtotherootoftheirpresentcredit
difficulties in the hope of finding out why the
banks are so hard prmsed for funds and unable
to provide them with their customary wants.
To this end a mass meeting of farmers, bank-
ers and others interested in the credit situa-
tion throughout the county was held at Stan-
ton last week Monday when all branches of
farm credit including the local banking sys-
tem, .War Finance Corporation and the Feder-
al Farm Loan Banks came in for discussion.
A committee was named, with Mr. Wm. Ras-
mussen of Stanton as chairman, to confer with
the banks of the county and arrange if possi-
ble for the obtaining of War Finance, Corporal,
tion funds in the country. ’ _

This is an excellent idea, which can be fol-
lowed very profitably in other counties. We
have observed 7 that the average local banker
is anxious to help solve 'local problems. of fi-
nance and credit and if he is failing to meet
the present emergency it is no doubt due to
a lack of understanding and appreciation of
the actual condition. Public conferences of
these kind between banker and borrower
should help both to understand each other
better and pave the way for mutual help. We
suggest to county agents elsewhere, heads of
farm organizations, and others interested the

advisability of adopting the plan of the Mont- .

calm county farmers.

 

Mr. La Follette to Mr. Howard

ENATOR ILA. FOLLETTE “writ” a. let

ter to the press. He accused Mr. Howard

A, F. B. F. president, of being in cahoots

with the railroads and making secret agree-

ment with them to “lay oif” the Farm

Bureau’s demands for a repeal of the guar-
anty clause of the transportation act.

Mr. Howard read. this statement when he
sat down to breakfast at the New Willard
Hotel and. almost swallowed his half of ‘a
grape-fruit whole. Straightway he called for
his stenographer and dictated thusly:

“My dear senator: You’re a gentleman. I
never did no such a thing.”

' Mr. La Follette chortled. "You’re anoth-
er,” he wrote right back, “you did. And I’ve
got the secret minutes of your conference with
the rail heads to prove it.” '

And Mr. La Follctte quotes from the min-
utes to prove to Mr. Howard that he (Mr.
HOWard) had agreed to a plan “to perpetuate
the iniquitous guarantee provisions of the
Each-Cumming law; to validate as a basis for
rate-making the inflated and watered capital-
ization of the railroads; and in effect to con-
tinue permanently the present impotence of
the state railroad commissions,” and that in
substance Mr. Howard had in secret session
yielded to the rail heads on nearly every point
of the rail controversy in direct defiance of
the resolutions drafted by the Farm Bureau
convention at Atlanta, etc, and more of it.

Well, you betcha life Mr. Howard wouldn’t
stand for that so he yelled for his stenograph-
or. “Take this, ” ho thundered, “Dear Mr. La-
Foll ”, but he choked on his words and
could go no further. . And Mr. La Follette is
still waiting for a reply from Mr. Howard.

his parishimers.” ’

At outline of thieil‘atholic~ PW rural
program is as follows: ’ ‘ ’

l. A sense of the critical. importance of, the
rural religious .. problem mint be developed in
the Catholic body. ” '

2. The rural clergy should study and " roe
mote all practicable rural «re-operative e .erc
prises. __ ’ . - "

3. A revision of rural domestic economy
must be promoted to make the term home at-

: tractive to women.

4. .Sistere’ Hospitails in the county should
be multiplied and their opportunities for Social
service be developed with the active co—«operation
of the rural parishes. .

' 5. Creation of rural social] and recreational
facilities; colonization with a view to reinforcing
religion with a social bond.

6. Widening of intellectual interests of the _

countryside; espiecially encouraging
agencies which subserve religion.

7. Developing strong rural religious centers
and employing means of religious instruction
adapted to rural conditions.

If the Catholic church has an obligation to-

those

ward rural communities in which it is so little

represented how much greater is the responsi-
bility of the various Protestant denominations
which have the preponderance of membership.

'.The rural church problem has been a bafi'ling

one and up to the present moment the church
has failed signally to establish its leadership
in rural afi'airs. Is it not possible that our
Catholic friends have at last pointed out the
way? ‘ ‘

 

When Will the Farmer Learn?

IN an address before the Michigan Allied
, Dairy Association, Mr. E. B. Heaton, di-

rector of dairy marketing of the A." .‘F.’ B. F~.~,r

askedthis significant question: “Must the
American farmer go down to a condition sim-
ilar to that found among the peasant farmers
of Denmark and Russia thirty or forty years

ago before he will. develop cooperative meth- ,

ads?” ‘ -

The average person who does not live upon
a farm will scofi at the suggestion and dub the
man who makes it an alarmist. At first
thought it does not seem possible that Ameri-
can agriculture could ever sink to the level
from which European agriculture has so re—
cently arisen. But a very considerable por-
tion of the American f ’ ' business is tot-
tering upon the brink of that very‘chasm this
moment. The past year has seen many a little
nest egg wiped out,'stock'sold at a loss, lands,
chattels, —-— everything — mortgaged to meet
taxes and interest. The-only hope of salva-
tion for these farmers is to bind themselves to
the land, like the serfs of old Europe, forego
all pleasures, practice thrift till it hurts, and
stand by their farm organizations.

That sounds like an anti-climax, but it is '

really a climax. Most farmers underestimate
the value of oranization. They are too ready
to gauge. the value of organization by the dj-_
rect saving in dollars and cents and shut their
eyes to the far greater benefits that come to
them indirectly. Do not be misled. The
farmer camiotjwork his way out of the wilder-
ness of his present difficulties alone. He must
secure eyery legitimate advantage be em to
getbaek on his feet. Working alone he .is'
helpless. Working with his fellow {amen he.
can accomplish much. Organization m 604

ELDERBERBJES

The inquiry about elderberries re-
cently published has brought us two
interesting letters from our readers,
from which the following is quoted:

"In your issue of Februa 4. J, E. M.
inquires about cultivated e1 erben'ies and
you request information from your read-
ers. In the year 1913 'I received a cata-
log from Mills Seed House. Rose Hill,
N; Y.. in which a. new cultivated elder-
berry is listed for the first time. Like
most seed houses when listing anything
new, some awful “blowing” was done
about it. A! high as 1.150 berries, it
was claimed. had been counted on one
branch or stem. The berries were large.
four of them placed side by side covering
an inch, etc. .I have not received the

« \tlm’e catalog for seva years. but pre-

(

l

  
  

    

sumo the fruit is still listed. I never

saw any of the plants. so do not know
whether they proved anywhere near like
what was claimed, or whether they were
as big a. fake as the Himalaya berry."—
C.’ D. B., La Salle. Mob.

The second letter, from W. C. W.,
Wellington, Ohio, contained a page
from the catalog (1916) of L. J.
Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y. There is an
illustration‘of a bunch of elderber-
rise and along with it the staggering
claim that it was 20 inches across,
contained 5,169 berries and shelled
1 1-2 quarts of fruit. Making due
allowance for the nurseryman’e im-
agination, it is still reasonable to
presume that a fruit'of merit has
been obtained from the wild elder-
berry. Perhaps some of our readers
havp something to say from, their
own experiences with the fruit.

A! MAN IN THE MAKING.
KNOW you will be much interest-
ed to read the following. letter
Written by Mrs. C. E. B She
speaks many truths. There is one
particular phase of boy life that I
would like to talk about, that is
the period between the ages of 12
and 16 years, (the years might shift
a little with different natures) but
these years form the dangerous days,
the critical period in a boy’s life,
when physical changes are taking
place that cause a nervous and irri-
table‘condition, which often is not
understood. nor dealt with, with the
kindly understanding and the sym-
pathetic consideration that the con-
dition demands. Our daughters are
dealt with why gently during this
period and many allowances are
made for them. Believe me when
I say that our hey needs just as
much care and gentle treatment at
this time. He does not understand
himself, he may cry easily and be-
ing a: “big boy” is ashamed of his
tears and yet he can not always
control his feelings.
Chivalry toward his mother de-

velops at this time and he W0 1d
bestow it upon his sisters if t ey
wouldn’t tease and laugh at him.

His first love affair may occur and
it is one of the purest and ' most
ideal expressions of his nature. He
begins to be a bit-iself-conscious and
takes an interest perhaps for the
first time, in clean nails, ears
shoes.

This is the time when a mother
and a [father may, so strengthen the
perfect bond of love and loyalty
that it will endure forever. Here
is the time when more than ever
before you may be your boy’s com-
panion j. and chum, hi8~ confidant
into whose ears he pours all his in-
most, sacred feelings, his doubts,
his fears, his distrust of himself,
his high ambitions. No matter what
these soul out—pourings are treat
him with entire respect, with per-
fect love and give him a guiding
hand to help him through the tor-
tuous channels of this part of his
journey.

You could use the patience of

Job, the wisdom of Solomon, and
the tact of a prime minister which
all may be summed up in three
words, good common sense, that

1 quality so little used and so much

needed.

. It is worth all the effort, for you
have helped ‘a man in the making.
What better, bigger job would you
ask? -

EQUALITY OF SEX

EAR Mrs. Jenney: I have been in-

terested in all-the letters in re-

gard to the “unfaithful ways”
of men. Uncle Rube writes an in-
teresting and true‘ letter but what
he says in defense of men could be
said in defense of women as well.
We alsoare human and enjoy being
leved. Perhaps the middle—aged wo-
man can face [life wisely with only
her children for companionship, also
some very well brought up young
women, but being married and hav-
ing children does not always make
a. woman want to “bury herself"
without even knowing the pleasure
of life again.

A young deserted wife suffers very
keenly and in all probability will
feel like going out herself to see life,
eventho’ her heart aches under-
neath. I agree with the other ‘read-
ers of the M. B. F. that women must
band together and that herein lies
the solution, but will they ever do it?

Woman was, under the old com-
mon law of Blackstone, written in
‘the eighteenth century, the ward (or
slave)’ of her husband. He was en-
titled to her labor and ear sings and
to her property. She could inake no
contract, or will, sue or be sued, or

band’s consent. Her husband could
beat her “in moderatjlgnfla

go into'fbusiness without her hus—V

ad Z'not; ex-

ly there is a i‘sisterhOod" of women ‘

today, but, oh, how hard they have
worked and how they have been op-
posed.,By men? No, by their own sex.
“Woman. is woman’s greatest foe.”

The bible says: “Male andfemale

created He them,” not “Male and fes- '

male, superior and inferior, created
He them." Lincoln said: “All men
were created equal.” Presumably, he
meant women, too. Men not handi-
capped physically as women have
been, have taken full advantage of
their outside liberties and‘ broader
visions, to hamper and restrictwo-
men, which has
generous impulses and has made
them exceedingly selfish. But they
have, in late years, pushed to the
front forcefully and in defiance of
some of their own sex. _ _

Men and women both have had
their lessons to learn. Men have
learned that a. woman who_toils al-
ways, receives nothing and is resent-
ful of her- conditions, is not the com-
panion they want but the new we-
man Who has come forth working
shoulder to shoulder with them, and
sharing their.sorrows while doubl-

ing their, joys, a woman physically‘

fit mentally alert, and working for
love of her mate not as his slave.
A man who is unfaithful to his wife
deserves all he gets. A woman also.

I like the-new slang term of “50—
50.” The same Code of morals for
beth, the same food and clothing, the
same hours of labor, and equal divi-
sion of the money earned. But as
in everything else, there are parti—
cular cases Where these riiles won’t
work. Uncle Rube expressed one
case. Another case is that of the
woman who married a “meal ticket”
and allows him to find it out. Along
comes a woman who idolizes him.
He finds that out also. Usual re-
sult! And where lies the blame? Wo-
men must learn the game of “Play-
ing Fair.”_ Some love their own sex.
A large number of them do not. Now
a word in favor of the men, they
seem to me to get so litflle said in
their favor. ‘

Regard for the Boys

Just a as long as our
turned from homes into boarding
houses at a tender age to shift for
themselves, just as .long as the par—
lor is kept for the girls and the
wood—shed is good enough for the

boys, just as long asmothers wait

up for their daughters and give
their sons a latch-key, just as long
as boys have for places of amuse=
ment the pool room, the gambling
den and corner 'salcmn, just as long
.we are going to have shallow, cal-
lous youths with an utter disregard
for womanhood. 7 "
If you want a concrete example
go outside your home in the even-
ing and imagine yourself a young
boy away from home without a place
to go for company. Your home lights
will look good to you if you put
yourself in the boy’s place. Unable
to gain access to such a home boys
start for the “bright lights” of the
down town streets. Usual results,
and where lies the blame? Boys are
quick to learn, the evil or the good,
and it depends on their parents a
great deal what they learn. I believe
it is easier to do right than wrong
and much more satisfactory. Let
your girls have the freedom of your
.boys and see if they would came
through their experiences any bet-
ter. “As‘ the twig is bent the tree is
inclined." x
'Dhese so-called “good times" are

purely fiction and live in the imagi- . .

nation, bringing dissatisfaction to
wrongdoers and sorrow "to their
homes. Our conversations today are
light and our reading matter light,

and the result is seen in our boys

and. girls on the streets _of Detroit.

Duties of Mothers : 

Mothers must, begin with ,thei

the world‘for us to see' if we but

‘ open our eyes and gaze. upon 'tlhem.
, It is again the

‘ I . old- . slang term .-
‘ 50-59." Perhaps we cannot hope .to
do better than we af‘e doing: The

bible says “Many are‘cal-led butiofew . '

to destruction, straight and narrow
is the path to salvation.” .
Our best guide‘is still the small,

Golden: Rule.
“Do unto others as
they should do unto you." And every
life pays dearly, for its mistakes-

“Thrice. is he armed who haflh his: a ‘

quarrel just. .

And hebut naked tho' locked up in

steel,

Whose conscience 'with injustice is

P. S.—Well I have said too much

Dear Uncle Ned—I do wish some of
you boys and girls would write to me.
I really don’t think it is fair the way
you do. Some get so many lettters they
cannot answer them all and others'don’t
get any. So I want everyone to write to
me. I Will not describe myself but let
you all guess my age, it is between 9
and 17, My birthday is between Decem-
ber 3rd and -10th. The first one guessmg
my age and birthday correctlyw'ill re-
ceive a small gift'from me. That is if
they write to me. I have 5 brothers and
2 sisters. My oldest brother is gomg on
18. while -my youngest sister, or the
baby, is 2 months old. The poem that
Miss Slack wrdte was very interesting.
I wish I could write poems, but I can-
not. I am in the eighth grade at school.
It is very hard for me too. We are going
to mOVe soon, so if any of you want
to write to me after March 4, send my
mail to Gregory, Mich, I sure. would like
to write to Halcetea Currier. Say, Hal—
cetea. one 01' my classmate’s birthday. is
the 22nd of December. It you would like
to- know more about him let me know,
Marian Didk, I have a cousin who lives
in or around Muir. Maybe you know her.
Her name is G. Gardner. Hazel Compton,
I would like to hear from you and also
Clara Elchinger, Larene Shaffer, Dans-
ville, and Stella Adolph, Yale, Mich. I
would like to correspond with all boys

ing‘wdth my dog, Buster. I am eleven

school to my brother. Marion Weekes.

Dear Uncle Ned—I am a ginl nine'

and we can slide down them. It is much
fun. The ice is almost all covered with
snow so we can hardly skate on it, It

MY EXPERIENCE WITH
' s

\ TURKEY
BSERVING in your paper a- re-
quest tor information regarding
._ the rearing of turkeys I will
try as briefly as possible to give a
few points on the subject.

The chief point in the turkey busi—
ness is good breeding stock. Get the
best even though you are required
to pay a little high for them, you
will more than double on them when
full coma; e'arly hatched, long

. large boned, wide hacked and full

chested. My birds lay in March.

Set‘your eggs under turkey hens,
they make the best mothers. When
your hens commence to lay keep
your eggs air tight. I bury mine in
oats and be sure and turn them once
each day till they are set, keep
hatch so
when the old mother decides to go
that none' may be left behind. I al—
ways feed my turkeys a very little
after third day, only hard boiled
eggs. It attracts them and keeps them
tame. I can do anything with my
turkeys. The old tom would not be
satisfied unless I led him a little
out of my hand. I

I know where my birds are each
night. The day they hatch I secure
the door of my pen; the mesh is
large enough for the pullets to go
through but the old mother remains
inside, the little ones go away and

. gather grubs, etc, but, on the call

of the mothers back they run. I
have bells on the mothers so that I
can locate them at any time. After
they are from three to four weeks
old I allow the old mother to go out.
I always go and bring them home
the first week, after that I have no
more trouble. At 5 o’clock I can look
out and see them coming, they know
I will be after them if they don't
come.

Once a week I put a few grains
of potassium permanguate in their
water, just enough to color it. Do
not feed sweet milk one day and
sour the next. Sour milk all the time
is best. Dandeli'ons are the turkeys'
delight, after the first week I new
food my turkeys anything. I train
the mothers to lay in the ham and
if they are miles from home they
will come back to lay. This saves
many's step. I do not raise my tur-
keys to sell at market. I raise firm
for breeding purposes only. In winter

MY EXPERIENCE WI'lIlI 80!
BEANS
S I promised last spring I will
A give a kind of summary at the
Soy bean crop, also a few ways I
have learned to handle them easily
and cheaply.

We had out ten acres last year
that were sown on well W
ground that had been double ahead
before. plowing. The seeding was
1 earlier, say the last few (lays
in Hay or first few in June. However
done about the middle of June, but
having 40 acres in corn and being
limited with horse power and how
in; severe sickness from January to
June, hold us back with our work
so we were that late. We used a
corn planter with Soy bean attach-
ment set in to 28 inches. Also used

seed down" into moist dirt and still
not having than k too deep as fig
 not. be covered over an inch
in depth. It’s Gan Boys we’ve lied '
as

furrow opener, thus utting the '

>rdwd~wtthns ,

the-harrowing was repeated. 
we had thesrtart of the little weeds.
Spring tooth cultivators were then
used and the field gone over five
times and started over the sixth
when it rained us out that time to
stay out. .

Around the middle of October we
pulled, raked and hauled in the
beans in the manner following:

The regulation bean puller was
used and the beams raked out with
a side delivery rake. The boy load-
er was used to load the beans and
the hsyfork to take them oil at the
barn. Our five-year-old boy handled,
the gentle old mare on the hsytork,
also drove a few loads to the load-
er.

We had intended putting this

‘piece to wheat but it was too late

we thought so did not as we had 52.

acres in wheat besides that. light

say that the beans could have been
harvested two weeks earlier if we
could have gotten to them. They
were in good shape though as they
had not shelled any to speak of.
In 1920 the field we put in wheat
after Soy beans did fine and we have
an excellent stand of clover on it.
In September we clipped it to mulch
down and it was so heavy the mower
would hardly go through in the
heaviest places. 0

The Soys last year yielded 18 1-2
bushels to the acre and we did not
get a perfect stand on only half, the
other half being somewhat scattered.
This field is now nearly all plowed
for oats and would have been fin-
ished had we thought about it
freezing up so soon. It would only
have taken 6 or '1 hours with the
tractor to have finished it. This
year we hope by the aid of the Ford-
so-n to be able to get the 10 acres
of Soys out by the 5th 0! June at
the latest.

We are running a rotation as fol-
lows on one field each year: First,
corn and Soys; second, Says; third,
wheat with clover sown in spring;
fourth, clover. How is that for
leguminous crops? On some we have
to have corn, oats, wheat and clover,
then clover hay, making the four
year rotation again.

The Soy beans are exeeptionalh'
good as a legnminous crop. Experi-
ence shows that the Soy bean hay cut
at the right time is richer in protein
thsn’alfalfa bay. The fact that they

are a. nodule growing plant places '

them in favor with anyone that
wishes to build their soil up instead
of run it down as many do now
days. i

We hear the cry—Not so much-
corn! Cut down the corn! No money
in com etc- well if you want some-
thing that will bring your land up

and at the same time give you a _

crop equal in money if not more
than corn, why not try Soy beans.
If you do be sure to inoculate them.
to insure the nodule gathering quali—
ty. They will grow without it and
produce quite a profit but when they
take the nitrogen from the air and
deposit it on their roots it is toolish
to take any chances of not getting
this free nitrogen and the crop wil
be fully as good and lots at times
better by inoculating the beans.

If there is anyone that wamts to
know further concerning the beans
or any phase of handling them I will
gladly supply it as my experiences
during the last ten years have been '
varied and no two years are just
alike for handling. ’

No two men can handle the crop
just the same in his ration nor han—
dle them just the same, but good
common horse—sense with a little
push and stick—to-fi-twneas will
make you win.

be also some active cause, such as in-

cal substances. Laxatives and some

value, but must be iven judiciously

Give salicyflate of soda in small

BUNCH SHOULD BE 

Have a
bunch has fonmed which does not disap-
pear, although at first it would come and
then it would disappear in several days,
The bunch is right on the knee and it
seems to have matter inside. The cow
also breathes very heavy. She is in a.
good condition, Have another cow whose
Ihlnd feet“ are very stiff and she can not
stand up very' long. Bunches like spavin
have formed on her hind legs around the
knees. She has a. fair appitite and gives
quite a lot of milk although shemlooks a.
bit dull,—-S. L., Mt. Clemens. Mich.

The first case is one that requires
the surgical skill of a qualified vet-
erinarian; this should be lanced and
injected out with Tr. Iodin, then
packed with antiseptic gauze.

The cow that has enlargementson
the hock joints I would advise that
you paint them once a day with Tr.
Iodin and give her two drama of
potassium iodid morning and night.

 

RUNNING some 0N KNEE

sore on his knee by getting up. We can-

Wash the wound thoroughly with
pure castile soap and water or any
good antiseptic. Apply any good
dusting powder for wounds, (Parke

changing morning and night. Allow,
the animal the freedom 'of a box

The Bower and the Feldkamp auc-
tion. sales or large Type Poland Chinas
were splendid successes from every point
of view; the prices'secmd' were not in

keeping either with production costs or ‘

current values, it is true, but every ani-
mal. in both these oflerings, went into
the hands of men who will give them the
best of care and will develop them in a
way that will reflect credit upon the men
who made the offerings.

In mite of the depression and 1:11 of the
gements which it has brought to
the running classes of Michigan, the
breeders of Large Type Pol-and China.
_‘ have had a very successful year;
in fact, it would seem that they have ac-
complished more, in the way of seed dis.-
tributlon .and effective breed promotion,
than has been done -with any other
variety oi! pure—bred live stock in the
state during the same period of time.
Those who are interested need not go far
to find the secret of the success these
breeders have made. There are in the
state, perhaps about 25- important herds
of Large Type variety and, fortu-
nately ,for the success of the business,
every herd is owned by an unmus‘astic
booster; these men are hustlin every
day of their lives, for their favo to breed
of hogs. They attend all of the auction
sales of the breed. bidding. Whig and
boosting the pure—bred am in a way
that is 'worthy of the emulation of any
breeder who desires to see his chosen
breed of live stock come to the front.

 

HOLSTEINS AT FAIBCHILD FARMS

Not‘many times. in the past history of
the pure-bred stock business. have breed-
ers of dairy cattle had an opportunity
to buy cows of such rare worth as those
that will be ofl'ered 'on Thursday, March
9, by John Schlaft at Mt. Clemens, Mich_
When he purchased the inundation cattle
for this wonderful herd, Mr. Schlai't in-
tended to establish. on his Fairchild
Farm.‘ the best herd of pure-bred Hol-
stein—F‘rcisian came in Michigan and the
wonderful records, which he has already
made with his cattle, prove conclusively
that he charted his course along lines
which make for success in connection
with the dairy business, The records
Which this herd has made are truly wond-

erful but in addition to~matchless pro— ‘-
duction, these cows are all 0: the cosy-

keeping type that always makes a. hit
With the experienced feeder: when the
productive period [3 past, the wonderful
scale 01 these cows will make them bring
a long price, for beef. Breeders, who en-
rich their herds by introducing the blood
lines which are found in the Schlafl herd,
will surely make Holstein history of the
right kind.

Germany has just made delivery of
twenty-five locomotives to Spanish firms,
the first consignment of a large order.
Spanish reports have expressed the high-
est satisfaction with the new engines.

BOX TRAP' FOR RABBITS

Please give full description how to
make a box trap to catch rabbits alive,
also quail, as a game warden offers me
$1.00 each for quail—he sells them alive.
-——L. 13., Walhalla, Mich, g V .

Make a box five or six inches wide,
about seVen high and 24 to 26 inches
long, open at both ends. Use one-
half inch boards as inch, is most
too heaVy. A wire screen is fast-

ened ever one end, and a loosely.

hinged gate of pointed wires is hung
in the other end. Umbrella. ribs out
about eight or nine inches long are
much used. Height of box‘ depends
on length to cut wires but should
be of length so that the gate will
hang at an angle of about forty-five
degrees and will push in readily, a1—
lowing the animal to enter the trap

easily. . Once inside escape is im—V

possible, as the gate cannot be

pushed out. -

This trap is usually set at dens
and an animal Within is caught com-
ing out. It can be placed where
rabbits feed and gate propped up and
bait placed within but a catch is‘
not so sure as when used at den.

Quail can be caught in a Ismail
coop with straw and chaff on the
inside with a shallow trench leading
from the outside to within. Grain
scattered in this trench will lead the
birds within where they are apt to
scratch the straw, etc. in trench
and as when not feeding are looking
up do not detect the trench.

 

You are certainly doing agood work
for the farmers and every farmer in this
great state ought to support you, it is
for their interest to do so.-—-E. C. son,
Van Buren County, Mich.

TRADE AND BUSINESS REVIEW
' HE last month' of winter has

passed and the usual signs of

increasing/interest and activity,
on the part of the public at large,
are to be seen everywhere. Even
the men among“ us, who have been
humming along in a minor key, are
beginning to pluck up a little cour-
age and hope forthe best. Looking
back over the history of this coun-
try, we are constrained to ask our-
selves the question—éwhen, during
the past 50 years, have conditions
been different at the close of Feb—
ruary?

The last winter month saw a tre—
mendons gain in the general pro-
ductive activities of the country.
The steel and iron business, for
more-than 50 years the most ac—
curate and reliable prosperity mea-
sure that the American business
World has ever known, is rapidly ap—
proaching normal. The demand for
structural steel, reinforcement ma-
terial, automobile steel, steel tubing,
cast iron water pipe and steel plates
is gaining in volume, rapidly. Pig
iron producers are greatly encour-
aged by recent developments in their
branch of the trade and the blow-
ing—in of many new furnaces is-now
only a matter of a few weeks.

The cotton market has been show-
ing marked strength, of late, and
both spot and futures are working
higher in response to a marked im-
provement in the demand for cotton
cloth and a conviction, in the minds
of the cotton users of the country,
that the visible supply will be ex-
hausted long before next year’s crop
is ready for use. The sheep—shear-
ing season is in full swing and, in
the face of the big increase in the
marketable supply, the market
seems to be hesitating, somewhat;
all classes of wool users have been
paying current prices under protest
and are looking for a soft spot
where they can knock the bottom
out of prices. The goods market
is decidedly quiet and while values
are firmly sustained the trade is so
completely lacking in activity, that
would-be buyers, of the eleventh-
hour type, are confidently playing
for price reductions all along the
line.

Trade is still spotted, the largest
improvement in activity being re-
ported from certain agricultural
sections which have been practical—
ly dormant for the past six months
the increase in the value of manv
of the farmer’s products, which has
occurred during the last 30 days,
is being given the credit for the im—
provement described above.

During the past week, a great
broadening out of the security mar—
kets on the New York Stock Ex-
change has occurred and on one day
at bhe period, more business was
transacted than during some entire
months of the depressed period.
Many stock issues changed hands at
~prices which were in every case, a
new record when compared with
the business for the last six months.
The bond market is holding up, both
in activity and price levels. The
week’s bank clearings were $5,466,-
998,763.

ers that prices could not remain at

much in evidence, selling their hold—

their money over. but the market
showed no signs of weakening. For-

absorbed sufficient grain to avoid an
accumulation. Not only in this

P

has been exporting quite heavily of
late and many are speculating as to
when this will be stopped. Some
say Argentine will probably be im—
porting wheat after June lst' while
others believe exporting will *be
prohibited after July 1st.~ Reports
from that country show the surplus
has been greatly overestimated and
that the total amount of old and
new will not amount to over 112,000
bushels. Chicago received 349,000
bushels last week and
Were 256,000 bushels. Official re-
ports give the exports of Wheat and
flour for the first seven months of
the season as 211,097.000 bushels,
compared with 233,035,!!er busnels
during the same period last year.
On Monday of the current week
wheat on the Detroit market opened
strong and 2c higher owing to more
bullish news from Europe but the
advance failed to hold and before
the day was over prices were down
to last week’s close. The Chicago
market acted in about the same
manner except the advance amount—
ed to considerable more. .It went
to within 1-8c of $1.50 but closed
the day at $1.42 1—2. Present indi-
cations are that the market this

on the 1921 crop. The market
closed last week strong with pros-
pects of still higher values the pres-
ent week. Demand was grim! and
there was business transacted with
nearly all of the many lines inter—
ested in the market. Export busi-
ness continued very good and ship-
ments from this country were large.

As was predicted receipts have be-
gun to decrease which adds much
to the strength of the market. Al—
though 1 ts were not much
smaller last week, being :7,-
069,000 lusnels compared with 8,-

- 906,000 bushels, the difference was

sufficient to show dealers that the
slowmg-up movement was under
way. Receipts are expected to drop
to. moderate which will cause sup—
plies to become smaller and with
a good demand that promises to
remain prices should continue to
pomt skyward for at leas: a few
weeks. It is said that the corn crop
in Argentine is very much in need
of rain. On~Monday, Feb. 28, ex-
port demand was slow and prices
did not change at Detroit. The Chi-
cago market advanced early in the
day but before the close was back
to last week’s closing level.

grains and the price declined but
before the close Saturday the mar-
ket regained its strength through
reports of export demand and it
finished strong. The opening this
week was higher but before the close
of Monday there were plenty of sel

.ers and few buyers which caused

the, market to become dull. This
tone was in evidence all day Tues-
day and prices did not change. Ev-
port business expected on the open-
ing of this week failed to put in an
appearance.

The rye market advanced again

fitable to sell. Jobbing prices in De—

enabling elevators to. pay farmers
upwards of $5 per cwt- Crop report-
ers tell us of.recent sales at $5.25
@$5.50, or better than $3 per bush-
el.‘ Beans may go very much high-V
er, but those who hold for the top
of the market are speculators. Still,
if you can aiford to do so, you might
as well speculate as the other fel—
low. We know of no reason why
beans should not continue to’ ad—
vance slightly with occasional reac-
tions because as we see it there are
very few beans in the country and
it’s a long time before another crop
will be harvested. However, that’s
merely our opinion, and We hesitate
to advise readers to hold for pros-
pectively higher prices when pres-
ent prices are fairly satisfactory.

h The wholesale

Chicagoan londay was 24 cents,
as against 34 cents on the corres—

for '10 days back this season. Mild
weather and big receipts were the
reason assigned for the decline in
the egg market, a decline in notable
coutrastwith advancing values. of
late for other farm produce.

 

BUTTER
Shipments of butter to Chicago
were delayed to some extent Mon-
day, Feb. 27, and dealers are antici-
pating tux-the delays due to bad
weather in Wisconsin and Minne-
sota. As a result the market was
very firm. Deflers were storing
their goods sparingly and buyers
were trying to increase their stocks.
Fine butter and butter below 88
score was scarce. The. medium
grades were a little harder to move.
Fresh cars of centralized were very
scare {and firm. There was, some

inquiry for storage cars.

 

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The wool market was quiet last
week and trading of small volume,
although pricesgexcept for wools of
inferior grade, were firmly main-
tained. , The speculative trading
which previously was in evidence
*seems to have died down. Dealers
are watching the Arizona situation
closely as shearing will start there
this week and few clips have been
sold in advance. Interest also is ex-
pressed in bids fer the Johnson
county, Wyoming 1,000,000 pound
pool, bids for, which will be opened
at Buffalo March 11. Considerable
Utah and Nevada wool has been con-
tracted for at prices ranging as high
as 32 1-2c a pound. Ohio and Penn-
sylvania delaines continue to' be
quoted at 48 @ 500 with little change
in territory or pulled wools. Michi-
gan and New York fleeces are: De-
laine unwashed, 44@45c; fine un-
washed, 34@36c; 1-2 blood un-
washed, 39@41c; 3-8 blood un-
washed, 39@4lc; 1—4 blood, 36%

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

Not much change in the market
for live calttle has been noted during
the past week; prices in Chicago,
on the close, last Saturday, were
not much diiferent than on the same
day of the’week before. Last week’s
receipts numbered practically the
same as for the week before but av-
erage weights were lower making a
slight falling off in the tonnage of
beef for the week ending February
25. The dressed beet trade at east—
ern markets was dull and quiet and
order buyers, in western markets
were inclined to take a conservative
view or the situation. Exporters are
buying a moderate number of cat-
tle, every week, in Chicago,- at prices
ranging from $7.50 to $7.76 per cwt.

Very little can be said concerning
the average quality of the killing
cattle that are finding their way to
market these days. Chicago arrivals
include. very few really tat steers,
either heavy or light weigh-ts. Long-
fed steers have almost entirely dis-
appeared and high-qualified killing
cattle, of light average weight, are
very scarce. The outlook for year-
ling cattle\is not flattering at this
writing, simply, because the cattle
that are coming are or the medium
quality and just nicely “warmed
up.”

There is a fair prospect that early
spring season with nothing in their
with half-tat yearlings; the feeder
may as well prepare to stay with the
game and last out the liberal runs.
An improvement in the demand for
tidy beet carcasses has been noted
of late and old, experienced dealers
express the opinion that increased
business activity and the scarcity of
other meats, will soon turn ’ the

g scales in favor or high-grade best.

The sheep and lamb markets con—
tinue to hold right up to the line
and nothing but a big increase in
the volume of arrivals, will save
themarhet from another sharp ad-
vance. Butchers are discriminating,

higher prices.

The bag market is booming and
that which is more important. prices
 a legitimate look. Domestic
consumption of pork has been at tro-
mendous volume, all thru the winter
packing months and leceipts of live
hogs have only slightly exceeded the
demands from the daily fresh pork
trade. Packers will go in to the
spring season with nothing in their
warehouses: it will l‘e seen than,
that hog s'ipolies must be much
above non-51, during the next six
months, in order to take care of the
current trade

Small, interior packers are still
buying hogs on the big markets, a.
fact that seems to indicate that they
are having no trouble inselling their
output. We are exporting an aver-,,
age of more than 34 million pounds
of pork products, every week; rather
a remarkable thing to happen with
Europe broke and right in the face
of a rising market. The speculative
provision market is active with a
decided upward trend; the recent
advance of the May option in lard
is making a market for the heavy
hogs that have been going a-begging
alll winter.
