There was only a couple of stores and perhaps a dozen pr fifteen houses. in the town and naturally I wondered where al'l‘the people‘came from. One of the men who, got on the train seated himself beside me and when the train got under motion I asked-him how it happened that such a large p number cf passengers originated in such a small town. " ' ' ~ “well.” he replied, "only two or three 051 that crowd you saw get on at Allendaile lives there. All the rest of us live in Bradford which is lo- cated eight miles west 'of Alliendale at 'the end junction point with the main line. All but two or three or! the passengers you saw get on at . Allendale live at Bradford. But usually the rail— road company doesn’t have anything like the pa- tronage it is receiving today. You’see, we folks of Bradford are in danger of losing our railroad and we have f‘drummed up as big a delegation as we could to represent as at the hearing down at the state capitol. The Railroad Commission is to consider the petition of the railroad company to abandon the Bradford branch. They claim it firm" not have sufficient business to pay for run- ‘ning it. Naturally we of Bradford resent having our railroad taken away from usin this manner. It will simply kill the town it they abandon the branch. Why, think of having to haul all the coal, lumber, merchandise, building materials—— everything, eight miles over roads none too good! commision allows the ~a. demon!” ' ' “How big is Bradford?" I asked. .01”; hundred,” he answered. “And his a good little burg for its sizeytoo." “i suppose the one railroad company has a monopoly of the transportation service for the . toWn?” ‘ “Wé‘ll, no——n0vt exactly. You see there’s a bus line that passes through our town and, it gives us" mighty good service to Mount Vernon and to Cedar Rapids. Most of our people go to one or‘the other of these cities to do a part of ' their shopping and to transact business which cannot be handled in a smaller town. The bus - line makes three trips each way every day and it runs at convenient hours—4 trip each way in the morning, One each way about one in the ' . afternoon and one'each way at night; No changes to'make and the bus makes good time: In fact, it beats the railroad’s schedule by better than an hour on account of having to change trains at Allendale. ‘ A ‘ " I presume the bus gets lthe lion’s share of the passenger business at Bradford then?” “Yes.” he admitted, “practically all of it." . “How about (freight? Any truck lines compet; ing with the railroad?” "Yes. We get first‘class service daily with package freight. In fact, almdst anything under five tons can he brought out to Bradford ins. hurry'on the trucks; Costs more than railroad rates generally, but we get the service when we need it.

FEW weeks ago 1":th riding a morning Way pans. E. SMITH ‘WHAT’S THE ANSWER? SHORT time ago the superintendent of a Michigan intermban line ap- peared Before the Business Men's Ass’n of a Certain city and asked them bluntly What their policy was to be with respect to the competition which his line was sufl’ering from several bus lines par- alleling theinterfirban right of way. “Just as the electric line took ‘ the passenger 1).. sun.) away from the steam line,” he said, “it begins to look as if the motor truck was to“ take the bushess from the inter-urban." On this particular line ‘where local and lmited cars run every half hour. the bus lines charging one-half the inter- urban fare has cut seriously into the busi- ness of the electric. The accompanying article deals with the problun in adimited way. So serious has become this compe- tition that the next legislature will be asked to provide legislation regulating the motor bus lines in much the same way steam and electric lines“ are now regulat— ed. The question is, “Is there room for both the motor truck and the railroad? Can the public support them both? It not, which‘one is to go? It is a question ‘in which farmers should be greatly infer- outed—Editor. ,“We’ve got lawyers with us to handle our side of it ,-” he explained, “and I’m not sure just how they will present our side of it. But our argu— ment is that‘it will kill our town and greatly injure the prosperity of the farmers for miles around. It will cause our property to decrease in value until it is practically worthless and well," he finished rather glumly, “the‘town will just naturally die.” ‘ ‘ “From what you say I judge that the bus and truck lines While giving considerable needed ser- vice are not sufl‘icient to take care od’ all your transportation needs?” “How could they be?" he asked. “How could the farmers Ship their stock, grain, hay, etc. by truck? How could we get our coal, lime, lumber, etc. by truck? Their capacity is not large enough. Besides it would cost too much to ship this ma- terial by truck.” 1- "Suppose you had to make a choice—you folks 013-. Bradford—which would you choose if you could only have one service, the trucks and busses or the railroad?" ' "Well," he replied. “We could get along with- out the trucks and basses but we’ve got to have a railroad." - He left the train With the rest of the delega- tion when the train arrived at the state capitol. Later I‘learned that the railroad company pre- sented figures showing that they were losing nearly $50,000.00 annually by operating the Bradford'branch—that even allowing the branch one-fourth of all freight charges incoming and Michigan State Farm Bureau Announces 1922 Wool Pool PENING o; the third or 1922 wool pool has ' I 'been announced by the State Farm Bureau .wodi department, which is notifying the farm ’ .bureau'membership' that it is receiving wool at _ its central warehouse in“Lansing. It is planned to start the local grading, weighing and cash— advance to growers campaign in late April. This 7 was a very successful feature of the 1921 pool.

It is quite true that the bus and truck lines offer quicker and sometimes cheaper ‘ service than the railroad branches. Furthermore their service is usually more frequent. In the‘considenation of the relatve carrying capacities of the trucks and the railroads it is interesting to recall the contemplated railroad strike 01f...‘1a,st fall. Much talk was circulated. about replacing the railroad service with truck lines. But consider specific examples. A modern hopper gondola on the railroads will haul 140,— 000 pounds of coal—70’ tons. Even if all trucks had a capacity of 5 tons each it would take'14 of them‘to equal one of these cars in carrying ca- pacity. The rtrain of 40 of these cars would equal the carrying capacity of 560 five-ton trucks. The train would require five men to operate it; the trucks would need 560 men to run them. The train’s speed would be around twenty to twenty- five miles per hour—~the trucks would be lucky to make ten or fifteen miles per hour. But 'that the truck and bus lines cut deeply into the normal revenues earned by the railroads is evident to anyone who has observed any town served by both means of transportation. The re— sult of this competition is seen in the petitions before railway commissions for the abandonment of many non—paying branches of «the railroads. On these branches the business is insufficient to support both railroad and the bus and truck lines—so the railroad gives up the ghost. That the abandonment of the only railroad serving a town is a calamity for that town and the surrounding farming country is readily con- ceded by everyone. Property values decline to a fraction of the value they possessed when the town was served by a railroad; people begin to move away; farmers must haul their produce miles farther to reach the nearest railroad town; business decreases to a low level; stagnation sets in and the town dies. There is one more angle to the situation. Even when non-paying branches are operated at a loss; the" loss must be made up by someone. The “someone” is flhe patron of the read. When ap- plications are made for anvincrease in freight or passenger rates the railroad companies produce statistics to show how they are tailing behind on their revenues. In many cases a large portion of this loss is due to the competition of the bus and truck lines. Sooner or later many people must decide which transportation agent will serve them in those communities which cannot support both systems . ‘ ——-—just as many city-folks are being called upon to decide whether the “jitneys” or the street car companies shall furnish them witlf transpoer tion within the city limits. In many vicinities the total volume of business will barely be enough to ~57: ‘support the one agent. The patronage of the peo- ple decides which transportation system they will have. ‘- L > farm bureau slang educational lines, is manager of the 1922 pool. He sudceeds Mr. A. J.

They listened to the services as held in 'the Calvary Episcopal church of Pittsburg while sitting in their own pews in their own churCh. On Sunday, February 5th, in VVatertown another congregation again listened to services from the same church. Patients in hospitals, invalids at home, men in their shirt sleeves, farmers and their families have heard and regularly hear these services. Neighbors of Beulah and Ben- zonia residents listen Sunday nights to these services as they can not get into Benzonia dur- ing the winter months to attend church. . “Some of Beulah and Benzonia’s young’folks *have listened to music which floats over the rest of our heads.

Statistics of production show i-h’ov'Vever, that her average yield during this period was approximately 90 bushels per acre, "bout half that of some of the leading eastern potato growing states. Her position is due to a iarge acreage rather than to a high acre yield. vMichigan produced potatoes cheaply in the past. Labor was plentiful and cheap. New land,. .Well adapted to the crop, containing suflicient available plant food to make the average yield without much effort was constantly brought into .culltivation. In most cases the crop was used simply to fill out a rotation, some manure, to ,. .which no farm value was attached, being used. ‘ But such conditions have entirely changed. ’Land values have risen,‘labor is scarce and the available elements of plant food have been large— ly removed from the soil. Potato growing has .become a specialized industry and must be “treated as a business proposition in the system offarm management and farm o'perations. ‘ «‘There must be greater efficiency in the use of man, machine and land power.

So not to miss this music from 1200 miles away, I left my set as it was and came back in an hour, but could not get Dallas again, but along came ‘W. .J. Z.’ at New- ark, N.

Price quo- . Factors in Potato Production Which Turn By W. DQHURD requires a deep, thoroughly pulverized seed bed, in order that a large root system, which later produces tuber growth and yield, may be de— veloped. There should be plenty of organic mat- ter in the soil to help the crop through the mid— summer drought prevalent in this state and further protection can be secured through fre— quent cultivation. Formerly the potato was not badly damaged by the blights which are now so common. A large healthy «leaf surface is necessary to trans— form the material brought up from the soil by the roots into starch which is so impontant in the manufacture of the tubers. Potato bugs, flea beetles, aphis and fungus diseases destroy leaf tissue, curtail the starchifying processes and re— duce yields and quality in just so far as their ravages are allowed to go unchecked. Most, if not all of the damage can be' prevented by thorough spraying. ' Michigan growers have been inclined to run their checkrows toodar apart and have lost out, in their yields accordingly. ~According to the Michigan Experiment Station, and to tests made by individuals in the state, yields will run from .. 30 to 80 per cent‘higherwhen the crop is plant- ed in rows 3 feet .apart, with the hills from ,16 to' 18 inches apart in the~rows, than-when. the checkrows are run “8 by 8" or “3 1-2 bit-8 >1é2.'v’_ . 0_t,gourse,~thls lnt'enslva cultivation unlit-forgets“; ;. ter feeding of the. crop. 9Tb? right amount, offing I .- tations are beingsent by radio telephone at half hour intervals from the opening of the daily mar- . ket to the closing gong. \Space between the market and the producers, dealers and handler! of grain is thus being eliminated. News ‘whilo it is news is available to farmers in many isolat- ed districts. Agricultural leaders deem it 5 great ~,forward stride in. the dissemination of market information. The quotations are distributed from the floor of the Board of Trade through the KYW radio station of the, Westinghouse Electric & Manu- facturing company by arrangement with the Commonwealth Edison Company. Wave length 360 carries the market news throughout" an are: having a. radius of 500 miles and, taking in the principal grain producing states. iv ‘ Price quotations on future contracts for wheat. corn and cats are transmitted on the radio telephone at the 9:30 opening each business day and every thirty .xminutes ethereafter until the close at 1:20 p. 111. Cash grain prices are quoted at 10:30, 12 noon and at 1:20, and “to arrive” prices at 1:20. During the morning and early afternoon market statistics and other official in- formation is disseminated. The service has created widest interest and high commendation President Robert McDougal of the Chicago Board of Trade, in outlining this broadcasting of market information declared it “the greatest forward step in two thousand years.” It is reasonable to suppose, he said, that the half hour bulletins giving not only quotations but fundamental news. of the crop and market situation throughout the world, will enable the grain ‘grower to buy or sell as confidently and almost as quickly as if he were in Chicago. The country grain elevators will serve as excellent stations for the reports. ‘ Other leaders in the grain trade pointed out that at times a day may mean much to the farm- er in marketing his grain, and that constant in- formation will be of'great value. The price of grain is not determined ‘by factors in any one country, but by conditions of the world. The radio report, marketing authorities declare, will equalize the news opportunities between the farmer and city man. Instructions to farmers and others receiving the quotations are brief: “Tune your set to 360 meters." It is Mr. Ferris’ idea that the maximum value . from the radiophone can be secured by install- ing receiving sets in schools, churches, lodges, etc. Not everyone can yet afford to own a re- ceiving set, but organizations can do so with lit- tle expense to the individuals comprising it. Mr. Ferris believes in rtime, that the radio con- cert will take the place of the Lyceum course. upon which so many small towns now depend for their winter’s entertainment. ‘ - Losses Into Profits ' right kind of fertilizer really brings the profit. Since the potato plant is .so highly specialized and since we expect many times the yield pro- duced when it was in a wild state, its food re- quirements should be satisfied. " To develop a good growth of stem and leaf requires nitrogen. To grow high quaility tubers of good starch con- tent requires potash. Phosphoric acid is defici- ent in most Michigan soils and is needed to help in growing strong plants and to bring the pota- toes to a certain state of maturity before frost comes. Acid phosphate, while a. fine source of phosphorus, is not a balanced potato fertilizer and will not alone produce the results which can be secured from a fertilizer which carries the three necessary elements. To properly feed the potato crop, and also from the standpoint of economy, a fertilizer of~high analysis should be used. Good potato fertilizers contain from 3 per cent to 6 per cent ammonia, from 8 per cent to 10 per cent phosphoric acid, and from 4 per cent to 6 per cent potash. . Of course, we can continue to grow potatoes without the best seed, without spraying, and without fertilizer, but yields will continue to be from 100 to 150 bushels to the acre—not enough to pay the cost of production in average years. Reports from a number of farms in ' Michigan; show that about'two hundred bushels of tees can be , , mange-n ‘ ‘ HEN THE war broke out in August, 1914, American trade became paralyzed. The blow was specially severe upon agricul- ture. The cotton market collapsed entrely. This upset was due to the [uncertainty of the ituation. No one knew what the - war would bring. We did not know whether it would last six weeks or six months. Everyone vvas agreed that it had to be a short war. Only time was able to reveal how long the struggle really would last. After the first shock of the catastrophe had passed conditions improved. At first, however, ‘the effects were that certain demands were cut off and our export markets were closed. We had a large surplus of many commodities for the do- mestic market. Trading was unstableand the future uncertain. It was not long, however; be— fore the economic effects of the war revealed themselves. The artificial.demands created by the war became factors in the trade of the entire world. - European governments went into the markets of the world and bought things needed for ,the conduct of the war. This demand for raw ma- terials, agriculbtural products and manufactured goods of almost all kinds caused industry ,to pick up. More labor was employed by factories ‘and as profits increased and the demand for more goods developed more labor was needed and wages naturally went higher. These increased wages, regular employment and the increased prices for farm products gave a greater purchas- ing power to the greater bulk of the Amercan people. ‘ I With an increased buying power we competed in the markets with the European governments. Prices were gradually forced higher and higher. When the United States got into the war the demand for goods by the belligerent governments increased. This great abnormal demand caused prices to go higher. Increased demand for goods and the increased prices causedthe de-‘ mand for labor and r .w materials to greatly I Sod-Rooted" Farm HousescTypical Scene in Remote Regions of Norway OM Bergen to. Christiania, the capital city of Norway, is a distance of about 200 miles. The way lies over picturesque and, snow-capped mountains, through many tunnels, past placid lakes and rushing mountain torrents. The av- enue of travel is over the Bergen railway which was opened to trafiic in .1909. The building of 'rthis railroad was no mean engineering feat. In all it traverses 178 tunnels varying in length from a score of feet to more than three miles. Added to the geographical difficulties encounter- ed in the building of the road were great climatic difficulties, for the reader must remember that this is in a latitude equal to southern Aflaska and that snow covers the entire right of way most of the year and .part of the way all the year. The highest point on the line is about a mile above sea level and much of 'the road is above the tree- limit. Portions of the road in these high alti- tudes are protected and in many instances en- tirely covered by snow—screens to shield the right of way from the terrific snow—storms which rage even in the heighth of the summer season. It was on the’ 20th day of last June that I took the train at the pretentious station at Bergen for Christiania. As related some time ago in-these columns I had come by a little tub of a'boat across the North sea to this rugged Norwegian city on my way to Christiania and Denmark. .The only night I spent in BergemI put.up at the Norge Hotel, a fairly modern inn, and had a small] but clean room which cost me the equivalent of 90 cents in American money. Fancy getting a room in the leading hotel of an American city of 50,000 population for such a trifling sum! . The day I arrived in Bergen I took an electric ' cable car to the top of “Floifjeldet,” a giant member of a- range or bills w-hich rise sharply from the rear of the city to a heighth of about 500 feet and stand there like" sentinels to guard" the city from‘the great snows and‘winds which roar down from the north in» winter time. The sides of these hills are covered with fine. homes and.beautiful,gardens? we passed/them by, however, on oar snail-like journey to the top I ‘ V ’1:5,,th:bntjshuddertst thought of,” “flu: m um; , perfect and when all was ’ Took Place His ’Markets’as Result of Wdr By J'. r. HORNER Department of Economics. Michigan Agriculture Call". increase. The result was that the income of the farmer and the laborer increased further. This increased income gave these two large classes of our population greater buying power. The greatest factor which emters into increas- ed demand and higher prices is buying power. Events caused this buying power to greatly in- crease. So we had a great demand for goods coming from our own p‘opulation coupled with the ' great demand for goods by the governments. The forces naturally caused prices to increase. The governments needed goods. It wasn’t a question of price. lit was only a question of get- ting the goods. and in order to get them prices were offered whch would get them. When a country is at war it does not quibble about price no more than a man haggles about the price of doctor’s services when sickness strikes his home. With the individual the question is primarily ' recovery. Cost is of secondary importance. To a country at war the question of primary im- portance'is that of successful prosecution of the war. Cost is of secondary consideration. During the recent war prices were set on cer- tain commodities and products for the chief pur- pose of assuring sufficient goods to meet the re- quirements of the armies. Governments did not consider at great length Whether the prices were entirely equitable. Would the prices set bring forth the goods? That ‘was the main question. Many mistakes were made in this matter of prices. Prices were not set in such a way that equity was always the result. However, those who were responsible did the best they could in the emergency and by their actions the results' which all desired—winning the war—were ob- tained. We all are now interested in the effect of all these events on the prices of farm products. Without going into detail and giving specific By THE EDITOR (The seventh\ of a series of articles on the M. B Editor’s Travels in Europe. The eighth article be published in an early issuo) . I". will From the top of “Floifjeldet” one obtains a perfectly entrancing view of the city of Bergen and its fiord-bound environs. The view is quite similiar to that which one gets from an aeroplane with which, most of our readers are undoubted- ly familiar! Do you remember how when we were kids we used to play in the sand, and build castles with turrets, surrounded by moats, rivers' and lakes? Remember the bridges we built, the roads 'we traced, the fences we erected? How we labored long and patiently to make ei’ery little detail finished with what pride we would stand and look down upon the wonderful little fairy city we had constructed. I still find building of mud cities a fascinating oc- cupation and with two children to amuse I have a perfectly legitimate excuse for putting in an oc- casional leisure hour in that fashion. The city of Bergen and its surroundings as viewed from the top' of the ‘Floifjeldet” reminded me ever so much of the tiny cities which I have built for'my children on the shoreof a Michigan lake. The panorama includes fiords, lakes, rivers, mountain faflls, ugly peaks, green-swarded emi- nences, peaceful and fertile farms, forests of fir, and the cityitself snuggling ’twixt water’s edge and mountain’s foot. ‘ * ‘ ’ I was agreeably surprised to find among my fellow-companions the Brazil gnerchant and his little daughter with Whom I had become ac- quainted on the boat from Newcastle to Bergen and'who were travelling in that far northern latitude to drown if possible their grief over the recent loss of wife and mother. Another pas- senger was a gentleman and his wife from Aus- tralia. He was ‘a native-born Norwegian; she a native-born Austrafian. They were bound for phristiania to visit relatives. A third passenger 'was the'Danish egg expert merchant With whom I had trod'the deck of the -“Irma” until the plunging of the little craft had sent me to. join the other passengers in repose. ‘ ' ‘For the first fifty miles out of Bergen the view is beautiful beyond description. In the dim dis— jtance‘ many rugged peaks. can be seen while- 'on the outside of the building which the con- .- became -much more settled and gave: (eviden figures it is sufficient to state thatgthe prices at farm products increased approximately in harm? ony with the other prices. A part of the timefarm prices were above the level of other prices. It i, was not until after the war that farm product prices began to lag. The farmer experienced. a * period of prosperity during the war. He should' look well into the causes for this and see if there is not a lesson for him. ‘ j \ Besides the factors mentioned above the 81-]. tension of credit and the great increase in our supply of money caused prices to go higher. Just how muchinfluence an increased money supply and liberal extension of credit has on prices is not known. It is known, however, that high prices and inflation go hand in hand. It is also true that an extension of credit increases buying power and that an increased buying power causes demand to increase and therefore prices to go up. There is a very marked similarity in the way prices moved during the Civil War and the late World War. During the latter war price increas- es continued longer after the close of hostilities than in the case of the Civil War. Just why this price increase continued and the “peak of prices” was not reached until eighteen months after armistice (May 1920) -is hard to explain. It was probably due, to a great extent to the con- tinuance of the guaranteed price for wheat and continued buying by European governments. To summarize, we find a great increase in prices of all productspcaused by (1) the great demand for goods by the warring governments; (‘2) increased purchasing power of all classes of people; and, (3) increased supply of money and credit. Such circumstances brought our prices. to unusually high ponts. During this entire period the most significant fact about prices was ' their instability. Price changes were frequent and unexpected. In the next article we shall analyze the causos for the drop in prices and try to point out the future trend. near at hand greensward and charming farm scenes sloping up from the deep quiet waters of sky-blue lakes charm the eye. The panorama varies from time to time, the near-by lakes and [farms giving way to grey mountains which in many cases stand so lose to the track that their summits are hidden from sight. As the train climbs higher and higher the air becomes colder and a few miles out of Bergen the first snow is seen. Mile after mile the snow increases. Moun- tain torrents cut their paths through drifts ten feet deep. The sun-kissed waters in the IOWer levels are soon succeeded by lakes which are locked in the perpetual embrace of ice and snow and from Whose borders rise mountains eter- nally capped with ermine. The tunnels are a constant marvel to the traveller. You are no sooner out of one than you enter another. Curi- ous things, tunnels. They are one of the defis which man hurls at nature when she stubbornly resists his advances. Here’s a mountain squarely in front of him. He can’t go over it or around. All right, Mr. Mountain, we’ll go through. and through we go. Probably the mountain grumbled somewhat when they penetrated its bowels with pick and screw and powder, but it has long since subsided, and today stands silenflly grim but ; helpless while man passes safely and swiftly " through. ‘ At one of the stops the little flady from Brazil and myself got off the train and climbed a huge snow—bank by the side of a frozen lake. It was. the first time either one of us had ever played 5 in the snow on the 20th of June. At every im-‘ portant station on the line there is a large bell ductor strikes with an iron one minute before the train is due to leave, rthus warning all pas- sengers who have left the train in ample time to return to their compartments. , ,' ‘ The Norwegian railway coach, by the way, comes the nearest. to resembling the American. coach of any I saw on my travels.

If the area of muck in question is well decomposed, compact and well drained, so that it will grow hay or any other farm crop with fair sues cess, it should grow celery. There is a good market for storage celery and the farmer who has the right kind.of. muck and can raise enéugh to ship in car loads, has a. good op- portunity for a profitable crop. The State Farm Bureau, through the Michigan Potato Growers Exchange, marketed two car loads of celery for me last year. The service they gave was excellent. It is unfortunate that the vegetable growers of; the state have not been organised to up- prectate the service that the State Farm Bureau can render them in marketing their perishable products. The farmer far from market can not compete in express shipments with the Kalamazoo, Hudsonville or Muskegon celery farmers. He can, by raising the proper variety, ship in car loads for winter storage. The market has only been touched and with the high freight rate from California, Michigan growers can compete very adequately with their celery. The variety which must be raisedds Golden Self-Bleaching. This is a rather weak -type, subject to diseases. It must be adequately fer- tilized and thoroughly sprayed. The plants ‘are raised out of doors in beds; the seed is sown the last week in April, then tranSplanted in rows from June 15th to July lst, five feet apart and the plants 6 inches . apart in the row. About twonty loads of manure to the acre, sup- plemented with 600 pounds of 2-2— 16 tertiljzer should be applied be- fore the plants are sown. The plants should be billed part way with what is known as a. i‘hiller.” It.should be understood in selling the crop, that it is sold for storage. This celery is not Washed; the outside stalks are stripped and it is placed in crates 24x22x20; > not cut off. For immediate con- sumption, the ‘crops should be billed to the top and carefully bleached, but this is not necessary for stor- age celery. , You should be able'to raise a least 170 large crates to the acre, that is, .about a car load, which should bring about 3360, r. o. b.' shipping poin.”.——Ezra Levi-u, Bu- m of Agricultural Development.

The presence or we absence of the disease can be determined in the laboratory by subjecting sam- ples of blood from the suspected animals to the complement, fixation or gilutination test.

If it could be proven that a neighbor knowingly took a cow af- flicted with the abortion disease to another neighbor’s sire and there— by caused the sire to become dis,- eased, in all probability damages could be collected. ’ With reference to the reporting of the disease, allow me to refer to section 5 of the law above specifi— “It shall be the duty of any person who dis— covers,. suspects, or has reason to believe that any domestic animal belonging to him or in his charge, or that» may come under his obser— vation, belonging to other parties. is affected with any, disease, wheth- er it be a Contagious or infectious disease, to immediately report such tact, belief or suspicion , to the State Commissioner of Agricuiu ture, or to the localboard of heaflth or some member can of Animal Husbandry, Kellham.

With reference to rulings in regard to loans, only such have good ’business principles would de- mand. Many of the critics seem to target that the success of the whole system rests on the sale of the bonds to the investing public, how well that has beén managed is demonstrated by the high favor in which the bonds are now held by investors generally. The‘ speedy. sale of the last issue of bonds ought to be a justification of the good judgment of the Farm ‘Loan Board and those connected with the system. ‘ 4. The same answer that ap- plies to No. 1 will a'DIDIy to this criticism ,why should the system be criticized because of the'action of opposing interests. / In conclusion let me say that many of the objections raised are the result 01! ignorance of the real working of the act rather than from actual knowledge of what has been done. There has been loaned to the farmers of the state of Mich-. igan oysr seven millions of dollars in the last five years, this period covering the .most strenuous time the country has ever known, during this time the overnment has sold billions of hen s,«the system has been tied up in the courts for flit- teen months, and rates of interest have reached- the highest point in many years. This is certainly a most” remarkable achievement to one familiar with financial matters. True we have’ not been able to care for all applicants and many, that apply are not entitled to loans, but the releasing of ‘seven millions of dollars which was tied up in long time loans, for other channels of business certainly is otconsidereble value to the borrowing public, and even though all were not able to borrow directly they have certainly shared in the benefits indirectly by the releasing of this‘ large amount .. of credit. \ I know 'we are prone to criticize and discredit any new departure and expect great results in a short ‘space of time, but it would seem to me in this case we are trying to kill the “hen that laid the golden egg” and a much better plan would be to boost and if possible broad- en out the system by good , con- structive suggestions rather than ‘by adverse incinuatione. I know all the agencies oi! _ the system from the Farm Loan Board at- Washington, the officials of the various Land Banks, to the apprais- ers in'the field, have all worked vwith an honest, sincere desire to carrythe benefits of the system to every deserving borrower possible and that no other motive has ever been given any consideration. -— Frank Coward“, Appraiser for the Federal Land, Bank, or Saint'Peifl. ’ Another Gold Brick” seems to '~ »Y°u'l‘6 .wrong, friend Coward W!- were not know the a te knocking til: loweker? o If these 1 V have um ‘ ' and We: loan as: ohm? £302: Hi I'm a , ' 86 tripigg to do. g3 as We .v W9 yore the .« 6 , » We have literature about the em 19 ,"‘""’and, such“ as-"f'were ‘_held —in' ' practically-every case it has been“ been made as good,judgment and ~ ‘ wwuefieiue'iened: I—l l d 5 5‘8 rnmrnmdm ED HH 2 adv-enlan 2WHW§E€QPQQ¢959EIE DQG‘DQIHU A Sflififlfi -. o. said, a. “gold brick."

Own and Amcrucegwfggemgflt Wild LiFe Romance (Continued from last week) \ “Then he lies,” said Challoner . quietly. ' “He says he bought him of Jac-‘ ques Le Beau.” . “Then Le Beau sold a. dog that didn’t belong to him." For a moment MacDonnell was silent. Then he said: “But that wasn’t what I had you come over for, Challoner. Durant told me something that froze my blood tonight. Your outfit starts for your post up in the Reindeer Lake’ county tomorrow doesn’t it?” “In the morning.” ’ “Then could you, with one of my rIndians and a. team, arrange to swing around by way of the Jack- son’s Knee? You’d lose a week but could overtake your outfit before it reached the Reindeer—and it would be a mighty big favour to me. There’s a-ea hell ofa. thing hap- pened over there.” Again he looked at Miki. “Gawd!” he breathed. Challoner waited. He thought he saw a shudder go through the Factor’s shoulders. . “I’d go myself—I ought to, but this frosted lung of mine has made me sit tight this winter, Challoner. “I ought to go. Why—(a sudden glow shot into his eyes)—“I knew this Nanette Le Beau when she was so high, fifteen years ago. I watched her grow up, Challoner. If I hadn’t been married—then—I’d have fall- en in .love with, her. Do you know her, Challoner? Did you ever see Nanette Le Beau?” ‘ Challoner shook his head. “An angel—if God ever made one,” declared MacDonnell through his red beard. “She lived ever be- yond the Jackson’s Knee with her father. And ‘he died, froze to death crossing Red Eye Lake "one night. I’ve always thought Jacques Le Bealu made her marry him after that. Or else she didn’t know, or was crazed, or frightened at being alone. Anyway, she married him. It was five years ago I saw her last. Now-and then I’ve heard things, but I didn’t believe—not all of them. I didn’t believe that Le Beau beat her, and knocked‘ her down when he wanted to. I didn’t believe he drag- ged her through the snow by her hair one day until she was nearly dead. They were just rumors, and he was seventy miles away. But I believe them now. Durant came from their place, and I guess he told me a whole lot of the truth—to save that dog.” Again he looked at Miki. “You see, Durant tells me that Le Beau caught the dog in one of his traps, took .him to his cabin, and tortured him into shape for the big fight. When Durant came he was so taken with the dog that he bought him, and it was while Le Beau was driving the dog mad in his cage to show his temper that Nanette interfered. Le Beau knocked her down, and then jumped on her and was pulling her hair and chok- ing her when the dog went for him and killed him. That’s the story. Du- rant told me the truth through fear that I’d have the dog shot if he was an out-and-out murderer. And that’s why I want you to go by way of the Jackson’s Knee. I want you to in- vestigate, and I want you to do what you can'for Nanette Le Beau. My Indian will bring her back to Fort 0’ God." ’ With Scotch stocism MacDonnell v had repressed whatever excitement he may have felt. He spoke, quietly. But the curious shudder went through his shoulders again. Chal- l~oner stared at him in blank amaze— ment. ‘ v ' “You mean to say that Miki—this. dog—has killed-a man?” '- “Yes. He killed him, Durant says] ' just as he killed Grouse Piet’s wolf- 'dog in the‘ big fight» today. .Ughl" the t Factor. --s,dded: , e ' got me, " Challoner wondered how the man. 'If what I hear about Le Beau was true he's better dead than alive. Challoner, if you didn't think it too much trouble, and could go that way—and see Nanette—~—” _ “I’ll go,” said Challon drop- ping a. hand to M1% “Keep your eye pen for u- rant," he warned. “That dog is fiorth more to him than all his win- nings today, and they say his stakes were big. He won heavily from Grouse Piet, 'but the halfbreed is ’thick with him now. I know it. So watch out.’,’ , A _ Out in the open space, in the light of the moon and stars, Challloner stood for a moment with Miki’s fore- paws resting against his breast. The dog’s head was almost on a level with: his shoulders. “D’ye remember when you fell out of the canoe, Boy?” he asked. softly. "Remember how you ’n’ the cub were tied in the bow, an’ you got to scrapping and fell overboard just above the rapids? Remember? By Jove! those rapids pretty near too. I thought you were dead, sure—both of you. I wonder what happened to the cub?” Miki whined in response,..and his whole body trembled. “And since then you’ve killed a. man,” added Challo er, as if he still could not quite be ieve. “And I’m to take you black 'to the woman. That’s the funny thing about it. You’re going back to her, and’ if she says kill you ” He dropped Miki’s forefeet and went on to the cabin. 'At the thres- ~ hold a low growl rose in Miki’s throat. Challoner laughed, and op- ened the door. They went in, and the dog’s growl was a menacing snarl. Chal‘loner had left his lamp burning low, and in the light of it he, saw Henri Durant and Grouse Piet waiting for him. He turned up the wick, .and nodded. “Good evening. Pretty late for a. call, isn’t it?” Grouse Piet’s stolid face did not change ts expression. It struck Chal- loner, as he glanced at him, that in head and shoulders he bore a gro- stesque resemblance to a. walrus. Durant’s eyes were dully ablaze. His face was swollen where Challoner had struck him. Miki, stiffened to the hardness of a knot, and still snarling under his breath, .had crawled under Challoner’s bunk. Du- rant pointed to him. \. “We’ve come after that dog," he said. ’ ~ '- “You can’t have him, Durant,” replied Challoner, trying hard .to make himself appear at. ease in a. situaton that sent a chill up his back. As he spoke he was making up his mind why Grouse Piet had come with Durant. They were giants, both of them; more than that—mon- sters. Instinctiver he had faced them with the small table between them. “I’m sorry I lost my temper out there," he continued. “I shouldn’t have struck you, Durant. It- wasn’t your fault—and‘I apolo~ gize. But the dog is mine. I lost him over in the Jackson’s Knee country, and if Jacques Le Beau caught him in a trap, and sold him to you,,he sold a dog that didn’t belong to him. I’m willing to pay you back what you gave ‘for him, just to be 'fair. How much was it?” . Grouse Piet had risen to his feet. Durant came to the opposite edge of the table, and leaned over it. a. single blow had knocked him down. 7 “Non, he\is not for sale.” Durant’s voice waslow; so low that it seemed ato‘choke him to get it out. It was filled with a. repressed hatred. Chal— ‘loner saw the great ’co'rds of his knotted lhands bulging under the skin as he gripped the edge of-the table. ,“M’sieu, we have ncome for that dog, Will-you wletauus 4m " “1;; will Dav-yon heck ' v ’10089 hide at the back of nor had" not, expected he movefe-J'ust yet. With, a bellow of rage and hatred Durant was“up- 231111.111 , and under the Weight of e With them went the table and lamp. There was a. vivid .splutter of flame and the cabin wasin darkness ex- cept where the moonlight flooded through the one window. Challoner had looked for something different: .He had expected Durant to threat. on before he acted, and, sizing up the two of them, he had decided to reach the edge of his bunk during the discussion. Under the pillow.was 7. his revolver. It was 'too late now. , Durant was on him, fumbling in the darkness for his throat, and as he flunlg one arm upward to get a hook around the Frenchman’s neck he heard Grouse Pet throw the table back. 4The next instant they were rolling in the moonlight on the floor, and Challoner caught a glimpse of Grouse Piet's huge bulk bending over them. Durant’s head was twists ed under his arm, but one of the giant’s «hands had reached his threat. The rhallfbreed saw this, and he cried out something in a. guttural voice. With a tremendous eflort Challoner- rolled himself and his ad- versary out of the patch of light into darkness again. Durant’s thick neck cracked. Again Grouse Piet'called out in that guttural, questioning voice. Challoner put every ounce of his energy into the crook of his arm, and Durant did not answer. Then the weight of Grouse Piet fell upon them, and his great hands groped for Challener’s neck. His thick fingers found Durant’s beard first, then fumbled for Challoner and got their hold. Ten seconds of this terrific grip would have broken his neck. But the fingers never closed. A savage cry of agony burst from Grouse Piet’s lips, and with that Cry, ending almost in a scream, came the snap of great jaws and the rending snarl of fangs in the dark- A ness. Durant heard, and with a great heave of his massive body he broke ~ free from Challoner’s grip, and leapt to his feet. In a flash Challoner was at his bunk facing his enemies with the revolver in his hand. ‘ . Everything had happened quickly. Scarcely more than a minute had passed since the overturning of the table, and now, in the moment when the situation had turned in his favour, a. sudden swift and sicken- ing horror seized upon Challoner. Bloody and. terrible there rose be— before him the one scene he had witnessed that day in the big cage rwhere Miki and the wolf-dog had fought. And there—in that dark- ness of the cabin _ He heard a moaning’c'ry and the crash of a body to the floor. "Miki, Miki," he cried. “Here! Here!" - He dropped his revolver and sprang to the door, flinging it wide open. “For God’s sake. cried. “Get out!" A bulk dashed p’ast'him into the night. He knew it was Durant. Then get out! ” he .he leapt to the dark shadows on the floor and dug his two hands into the Miki’s neck, dragging him back, wand shouting his name. He saw Grouse Piet crawling toward the door. He saw him rise to.his feet, silhouetted for a. moment against the starlight, and stagger out into the night. And then he felt Miki’s weight slinking down to [the floor, and under his hands the dog's muscles grew limp and saggy; For two or three min— utes he continued to kneel beside him before he closed the cabin door and lighted another lamp..He set up the overturned table and placed the lamp on it. Miki had not moved; He lay flat on his belly, his head be tween his forepaws, looking up at Challoner withha. mute appeal in his ‘ 7 eyes. ‘ Ghellone‘r reached ' out “his two a .the‘ M nt he crashed to the floor. , ‘I—ll—l-AL—‘A h ..

An hour later Challoner struck due west with a light sledge and a five-dog team for the Jackson’s Knee. Behind him fol:- lowed one of MacDonnelI’s "Indians with the team that... was __to bring Nanette to Fort 0 God. ' He saw nothing more of Durant and Grouse Piet, and accepted Mac- Donnell's 'explanaton that they had undoubtedly left the; Post shortly after their assault upon him in the cabin. No doubt their disappearance had been hastened.by the fact that a patrol] of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police on its Way to York Factory was expected at Fort O’ God that day. I Not until the final moment of de- parture was Miki brought from the cabin and tied to the gee-bar of Challoner’s sledge. When hesaw the five dogs squatted on their haunches he grew rigid and the old snarl rose in his throat. Under Challloner’s quieting‘words‘he quickly came to understand that these beasts were ’not enemies, and from a rather sus— picious toleratien of them he very soon began to take a new sort of interest in them. It was a friendly team, bred in the south and with- out the wolf strain. Events had come to pass so swift— ly and so vividly in Miki’s life dur- ing the past twenty-four hours that for many miles afterthey left Fort 0’ God his senses were in an un- settled state of anticpation." His brain was filled with a jumble of strange and thrilling pictures. Very far away, and almost indistinct, were the pictures of things that had happened before he was made a pris- oner by Jacques Le Beau. Even the memory of Neewa was fading under the thrill of events at Nanette’s‘ cabin and at Fort 0’ God. The pic- tures that blazed their way across his brain now were' of men, and dogs, and many other things that he had never seen before. His world had suddenly transformed itself in- to a host of Henri Durants and Grouse Piets and Jacques Le Beans, two-legged beasts who had clubbed him, and half killed him, and who had made him fight to keep the life in his body. He had tasted their blood in his vengeance. And he watched for them now. The pictures told him they were everywhere. He could imagine them as countless as the wolves, and as he had seen them crowded round the big cage in which he had slain the wolf-dog. In all of this excited and distorted world-there was only one Challoner, and one‘Nanette, and one baby. All\ else was a chaos of uncertainty and of dark menace. Twice when the In- dian came up close behind them Miki whirled about with a savage snarl. Challoner watched him. , Of the pictures in his brain one stood out above all others, definite and unclouded, and that was the picture of Nanette. Yes, even above Challoner himself. There lived in him the consciousness of her gentle hands; her sweet, soft voice; the‘ perfume of her hair and clothes and" body—the woman of her; and a part of the woman—as the hand is a was this part of Miki that Challoner could not understand, and which puzzled him when they made camp that night. He sat for a long time beside the firertrying to bring back the old comradeshi‘p of. the days of Miki’s puppyhood. But he only part- ly succeeded. , Miki was restive. Every nerve in his body seemed on edge. Again and again he' faced the weSt, and alwayswhen he sniffed the air in that direction there came a low whine in his throat. That night, with doubt in his heart, Challoner fastened him _near the tent with a tough rope of ba-‘- biche. ’ For a long time after Challoner ' had gone to . be: u Miki sat- on. his 11.11. he c1 * r 6' V: th .Chadloner’s~ .- , Mae. ’ howled.

I have canned over 1,000 quarts of fruits and meat. the cold pack way the ' last two years and have only lost two cans of corn and one of mpkin out of that amount. Also 3 1- hours is a great plenty to process meat that is put in the cans cooked and one hour plenty for that which is cooked first. I cooked my pumpkin as I wanted it ready for pies, run it thru a colender, packed in cans and processed two hours, all we do is open can and make our pies and it is fine Didn't the government send out a. bold letinwarning against the use of canning compound?

We have 1? horses. 14 head of cattle. a dog. 2 cats, and some chickens and ducks. We did have some pigs but we butchered them this winter. There is :a creek about .100 yards from the house. We skate in the winter and swim in» the summer. A little farther on there is a cement bridge and the creek is dredged from Lake Erie to the bridge. It is fine swimming where it is dredged. We take our 3-year-old sister in with us and she knows the stroke already but she can’t Swim yet. In the summer we go canoeing on the lake in the evening. The lake is abox$t§a mile down the creek. . I have 3 siste . and one brother. My ' youngest sister, Virginia, is 3, my next one, Mildred. is 21, my ~ oldest sister, Inez, is 24 and my brother. Allan, is 26. My brother was a marine during the war. I don’t like to live in the city. I have lived on this farm all my life. My- oldest sister is married and lives right ‘ next door. Out near the lake is an is- land’called Snake Island, where we get . our wild flowers. There are three islands._ close together and are called 1st. 2nd. and 8rd Snake Island. On 3rd Snake Island the ground, in spring is white with three- leafed-trilliums .' ‘ would like to get some letters from this circle. I will ansWér any letters that I get.

PEACE LEAF CURL THREATENS ITH everything indcating that peaches will bring a good price next summer, fruit grow- ers cannot afford to run the risk of - subjecting their peach orchards to the attack of leaf curl. The disease is almost sure to he troublesome if the months of April and May are wet and cold as is like— ly to be the case. No fungus disease is easier to control if the spraying is. done at the right time and in a thorough manner. Leaf curl appears as the leaf buds open and results in the thickening ‘ and curling of the leaves, which take on a yellow color with red ’markings. Later on a, white powder shows on the surface of the leaves. This is composed of the spores of the fungus. If the weather conditions are favorable for the development of the fungus every leaf may be at- tacked and will drop from the trees. This will result in the loss of the fruit crop in whole or in part, de- pending on the severity of the at— tack to the leaves. In severe cases. the twigs and smaller branches may be afiected, resulting in permanent injury to the trees. In your orch— ards, single branchesand even en- tire trees may be kitled. _ Elberta, Engl‘e, New Prolific and othu' commercial sorts are Quite subject to attack and the disease will surely do much harm it the weather conditions favor its de~ velopment. _ , To be eifectual the spraying should be done several weeks before the time of the blossoming of the trees, and before the buds have swollen. As a rule it will answer if the trees are sprayed by the tenth of April in the southern counties and a week or ten days later farther nOrth. but if the season is an early one, the first of April will be too late for perfect results. Applications made after the buds have swollen will be too late. The spraying may be done in the fall after the leaves are ofi or on warm days during the winter. When trees are sprayed for scale insects with dormant lime sullphur solution (1 part to 8 parts of water) the application will also suffice for the control of the leaf curl. III the scale spray is not deemed necessary, a samewhat weaker solution (1 to 25) will control leaf curl. Good ro- units may also be secured with Bor- deaaxmixture (44-50) or if the m is free from lime, a weak solu- tlcn of copper sulphate (1 pound to 50 gallons of water.) may be used. Care should be taken not only to spray. at right time but every bud”‘should receive enough of the spray so that it will soak down be- tween the bud scales. One thorough spraying only is necessary and if that. is even one curled leaf, it in- dicates that the bud tram which it came - was not properly" soaked—L. n.

You 'pay’f'or a De Laval whether you buy one or not If you are using a worn-out, inferior cream separator, or skimming cream by hand, you are surely wasting enough cream to payfor a De Laval in a short time. The selection of a cream separator is more important than that of any other machine on the farm, for none other can either save or waste so much, twice a day, 365 days a year. A De Laval separator will: —Skim cleaner for many more years than any other; _ —Skim milk clean at lower temperature than shy other separator; ———Deliver a higher testing cream, which is more accept- able to the creamery, and eas- icr and less costly to ship, And deliver a. cream which will make better butter. Mechanically a De Laval Separator is the best that fine materials and-skilled workman- . ship can make. —-It lasts longer than any other separator, many giving service for 15 to 20 years. ———It is to turn. ——It is easier to clean. —It is so simple that one . tool will set it up or take it down. ——It has the most pert Do not be deceived by separ .rators which are claimed to be “just as b. ‘ “4 n0st less." When you com 5 greater savings, greater oliability, longer life, the ex time It, saves, and the grea satis- faction it gives, the Dr Law is, in the end, by far the most economical cream separator made. Even if you have only two ‘ cows it will pay yen to have a' De Laval. One can be M on such easy terms that it will v pay for itself in less than a’ year.

Thursday. March 9. was in many 1- the most suc- cessful auction oirering of the season. in MI . The attendance was the largest c any sale of the year. average prices the highest and the average qual- ity of the cattle better than at any sale the writer has ever extended in the state. The average price of the cattle sold. leaving the young calves out of the rent:- oning, was $286.40' the nine young calves aver-a ,d $62.25. The above prices. while ey make a. good compare.- tive showing when the number of ani- mals sold is taken into consideration, they were extremely low when the high aver-ace , unlity of the oflerlnais noted. With a aw exceptions. the tile were purchased by young men, who will use them as foundations upon which to erect sterling herds of dairy cattle. The sale was in every way a herd dispersal. here was absolutely [no by-bidding and the men who invested their money with such rare judgment are to be congratulated on the splendid bargains they secured; in the opinion of the writer. the time will come when breeders who made pub chance at this sale will be proud to say that they own cattle bred by John lair. The list of buyers contains many names familiar to the dairymen of Minhirran and many beginners whose o-p ans have hitherto beeniconducted on .nit— ed scale.

Leslie, Mich. -~ The feedingiof rape, alfalfa, buck- wheat, and some other substances in some manner causes a hyper—sen- ’ sitive condition of the skin and when the skin so affected is white or spot- ted, lesions appear a short time after exposure to sunlight. It ap- pears almost necessary for the inter- nal and external agents both to be active. The sunlight. alone appar- ently will not produce these spots nor will the forage crops mentioned cause trouble if the animals are kept away from the sunlight. COLIO I have a mare ten years old that is subject to colic. She has colic about once every month from no apparent cause whatever. It seems to make no difference what kind of hay or grain is fed she gets sick just the same. We have had her about three years and she has been subject to colic since we had her. When she is sick ‘she lays down and gets up and rolls around in the barn and un- less I give her a good dose of physio sometimes she Will get sick» in about a. week again—E. K., Boyne City. Mich. Chronic Indigestion is tille cause of your troubles. Always water this horse before feeding, never after feeding. Have your looail druggist put up the following digestive powd- ers, give according to directions and your troufbilre will be over. Powdered capsicum one ounce, powdered nux vioimrica two ounces, powdered ginger and gention equal parts two ounces and add sufficient soda bicarbonate to mclke one pound. Give one table- spoonful in grain or on tongue with a spoon tlhree times a day. After you have given‘this for about a week, then twice a day will be suffi— cient. Keep salt before her at all times and see she gets proper ex— ercise. ‘ .__—‘—.—-——— ENLARGEA’IENT IN TEATS T how a 4—year-old cow that has her second calf and about 1 year after she had her first calf she, lost the flow of milk from one of the back teats and I thought I would try it again and it might ,come back; Now she has her second calf with no better results. Then is plenty of milk in the bag but it does not come down in the teat. Now there is ,one of her front teats that has a lump in it and it 'is very hard to get milk through. Would be thankful for any ad- v“» T r*m'id receive—E. B., Traverse City, Mich. If enlargements are in the tout the only remedy would be to have them removed by a qualified veteri- narian, that is provided the enlarge- ments are of a tumerous nature; should these enlargements be of a glandular nature you might get some results by giving two drahms of potassium iiodi‘d’ twice daily. WOLF TEETH SHOULD NOT BE PULLED I have fiihorse that always stays poor. We took or to a doctor andhe pulled the wolf teeth and filled th‘e"ba,ok ones but it didn’t help any. She feels good ‘ and eats everything and I‘fed her all kinds of stuff for worms but she doesn’t pass any. Is there anything I can do for her? I have some calves that have the ringworm so bad they are covered with scabs Please advise how to cure them. ——(l‘ K , Harbor lien/(ill. Mich. Wolf teeth were given the horse by the Creator and while we can see no real benefit through their appear- ance, we know they mever do any lharm. If they should not appear in the mouth of the horse. then some one should advise the one respon- sible for their presence, of hits mils- take. 'Iihese rediimentary teeth have no effect upon the condition your horse is in and the sooner these takers, who travel the country, '(be‘ he qualified or not) is shown up be- fore tlle pufbllic the 'better. In the majority of cases the honest, hard- working farmer, generous-hearted as [he is, (is the one who settles. Feed your horse plenty of good hay and whole oats. Get the following prescription filled and follow direc- tions closely and your animal will do weal. Powdered apsilcurm one ounce and add suflicient soda bicar- bonate to make one pound.

The increase in orders and output in connection with the steel and iron industry, is one of the most hopefuil indications of returning prosperity, reducing as it does the number of unemployed ' and giving an encouraging impetus to business in all related lines. Another encouraging symptom of re- turning life in the leading cities of the country is the resumption of home building operations; this last development like all other evidences . - of increased activity, is not by any means general but is occuring in cities that have not been over-built, where industry is speeding up and where laboring men have a fair prospect of soon being able to save a littlle money, every week, out of their earnings. The pdlitical pot is beginning to boil in every city, village and ham— let in the country and the taxpaying public is sharpening its ax to get even with public officials who have been extravagant in the past or who are favoring large expenditures of tax funds in the near future. That the farmer’s financial outlook has greatly improved during the past two months cannot be denied but he is still short of funds and in no humor to encourage profilgacy and extravagance in high office. Wholesale prices have been marked down in connection with many lines and dealers are finishing their orders which were split in two in the middle because of uncertainty and lack of confidence in the con— sumptive outlook of the coming spring and summer. Reports from the country districts indicate that the farmer is beginning to buy on a much larger scale than hereto— fore, although in some localities. ties, dealers are complaining about the activities of farm organizations along commercial lines. The persis- tent advance in the selling price of farm products, which has featured the market recently has evidently been checked for the present and in the event of a permanent decline in values, a decrease in rural busi- ness may be looked for. The New York stock market has been decidedly active of .late with rails leading in activity. The pros— pect of a business revival has al- ready resulted in the making of elaborate plans, by many manufac- turing projects, for repairs and ex- tensions. Equipments aud transpor- tation securities are well thought of by the investment public because they believe that before very long, railroad companies will be forced to spend-large amounts for betterments of all kinds. Government bonds are weak but all other reliable bond is— sues are in active demand at steady prices. Call money has ’been ranging; between 3 1-2 and 4 per cent for some days past and the supply of long—time funds is said to be equal to the needsof the situation in all lines, except among farmers.

No one believes that all the damage which has been done can be undone. The crop has suffered irreparable damage, and a goodly acreage will be abandoned. But with normal spring weather there should be some recovery. The wheat market is in just such a condition today that it is likely to develop weakness from very little cause and we need not be surprised to find the next couple of weeks a period of lowertprices and inactivity, which are very likely and longer period of increasing strength and high prices.

A small acreage should re— sult in immediately higher prices for the reason that the surplus crop has been heavily drawn upon and the world is getting down to pretty close adjustment on this crop. , RYE \ The early part of last week rye showed an inclination to follow the trend of wheht but before the clos- ing day there was a change and prices started upward.

We have had experience in adjusting liability claims for seven'years. Our adjusters and managers have handled every claim so that no judgment has been rend- ered in excess of the amount carried in our policy. The stock rate to cover liability‘alone on a Buick car is $30.00 per year 3 for a full coverage collision policy the cost is $104 or $134.00 without fire or theft. Compare this with our low rate. - .

Remember you are just as'liable to'lliave an accident, in which: someperson is injured, with an 1 old car as with a new one. Therefore you should keep irfsured and when you purchase .a new car the policy will automatically cover same unless is of greater horsepower in which case you shOuld send the old policy in to the company," 13an the difference and get the larger car insur- ed.
