It is a mighty fortunate thing for Michigan
farmers that Limestone freight rates have been
radically reduced just now, when it . is essential

to apply Limestone for spring planting.

This is the reduction thousands of Michigan farmers

have been waiting for.

Orders are pouring in from all parts of the state.

And

while we have a large stock on hand, it will be well to
get your order in immediately and avoid all possibility

of delay 1n shipment.

.With this radical reduction in the cost of applying
Limestone—with your County Agent advising you to
use it—with your own Agricultural College and every
farm authority insisting you must use it in order to
secure maximum production—with the absolute necessity
of using Limestone to secure satisfactory results from
Alfalfa or Clover 1n Michigan—when you consider these
facts, do you dare do without Lim<gstone this year ?

If you have not yet reteived a copy of our book on
Limestone, its uses and advantages, drop us a line today
and we will send it free.

Exchange into court to explain their
actions.

Ninety-two organized order buyers
are iii wrong now. Feb. 3 they in-
creased the commission charge for
buying hogs on eastern markets to
$10 a car, double or single deck, an
increase of 233 per cent on-— the

, single decks and 100 per cent on the

doubles. The old'rate was $3 for a
single deck and ~35 for a double
deck. The Secretary’s fcomplaint re-
quires the order buyers to show why
such an increase should not be held
unreasonable.

Recently 110» members of the East
St. Louis Live Stock Exchange were
ordered into court to explain an al-

business with the co-operative or;

GRIMM BEST BY TEST ‘
LFALFA pays best when the
farmer invests a little more .per

under average soil and climatic con-

ditions, says the State Farm Bureau ,-

seed _ department, quoting 1 the
Guelph, Ontario, experiment station,
which does business on an east and

‘ west line even with Saginaw. The

Guelph people have followed this in-
vestment in good seed idea for ten
years on all alfalfa test. The results
they get tell their own story. The
soil at Guelph is the average clay
loam soil, results were figured in
tons of hay per year and its value.

In ten years the Grimm field has
produced $288 more per acre, or
greater annual average return of
$28.80 for the extra few cents 'in-
vested in the original seed. The

UGAR in the beet, the product of the farm,
is giVen a protection of 5 per cent 'ad va-

., . lorem in the Fordney Tariff Bill now before

i , " congress.

‘ - Refined sugar, the product of the beet sugar
. ' factory, is protected with a specific rate equiva-

. lent to from 80 per cent to 100 per cent as
valorem on the basis (if present prices. '

For example, the Michigan sugar factory re—

‘ceives a prohibitive protection against the im-
portation of the product of the Canadian sugar

factory, but the Michigan sugar beet farmer re-
ceivesflpractically no proteCtion against the
Canadian sugar beet’. ‘

In view of this farmers are asking if the 60

, per cent increase in the tariff on» Cuban raw

1 sugar centained in the Fordney‘ Tariff Bill is an

‘ effort to protect the farmer or an effort to pay
a further bonus to an already sufficiently pro-
tected beet sugar industry“?h ,

, All farmers use sugar, ey usually buy it
'in 190 pound sacks. Every time a farmer buys
a sack of sugar he pays $2. 00 as a result of the
tariff on sugar. Half of this goes to the govern-

«rfacturer.

This is true because we consume in this coun-
trytwice‘as much sugar as we make, but the.
‘price-of sugar to the farmer is the Cuban price
plus the tariff. But, the farmer pays this price
i _ on both the domestic sugar and the foreign sugar.
Therefore the farmer pays half of this “tax to
the government and half to the manufacturer of'
beet sugar in this country.

Sugar Beets a Minor Product

The farmer might feel that he was getting
acme benefit out of this if the raising of sugar
beets was actually an important American agri-
cultural pursuit. This, however, is not the case.

The crop acreage of sugar beets for 1920 was
692, 455. The crop acreage for peanuts was 1, -
256, 000, almost double the acreage devoted to
; the cultivation of sugar‘ beets. -

80 per cent Protection for the Sugar Manufacturer;
5 per cent for the Beet Grower.

Even those farmers who raise sugar beets
might properly ask in what way their interests
are being protected by an increase in the duty on
Cuban Isugar. It is currently rumored that the
contract price paid the farmer for sugar beets
during the coming season will be from $5.00 to
$5. 50 a ton. The average pro-war price with the
tariff at 1 cent was $5. 57, approximately the
price that will be paid farmers during the com-
ing season showing clearly that the 60 per cent

‘increase in the tariff does not percolate through

the factory to the farmer.

problems peculiarly her own. Her farmers should
enjoy a number of distinct advantages over al-
most any 'other state in the union. But there
has been no one to point out to them how they
‘might act to secure the advantages to which the
proximity of markets, the climatic conditions,
and the diversity of the crops entitle them. It

- will be the purpose of the new president of the

M. A. C. to make a special study of these special
problems and to show the Michigan business
farmer how he may discover and utilize these
natural advantages for greater profit.

Infthese endeavors Dr. Friday will be ably as-

isisted byfiH. H. I—Ialladay who has resigned as

Commissioner of Agriculture to become secretary
of the College. Mr. Halladay has already estab-
lished himself in the hearts and minds of the
farmers of Michigan and no further introduction

In discussing his future with the College in .

an interview with a representative of the Busi-

ness Farmer, Dr. Friday said.

. "The policies which will govern the educational-

program, extension work and research projects at
the Michigan Agricultural College for the next
few years will be determined by the necessity of
readjusting Michigan agriculture to a new situa-
tion. The outstanding elements which will gov-
ern these readjustments are a change in the-
wqud’s agriCulaural production and markets, a
change in the composition of the population of
the state of Michigan, the great increase in
freight rates 011 agricultural products, and the

product of the American farm, is one of the chief' 1
rallying cries of the high tariff exponent. \
Farmers are clad in..fmid- winter mostly in cot—

ton and shoddy, and yet the woolen manufacturer
today is given 45 cents a pound protection on the
entire weight of the farmers’ clothing on the
basis that it is all wool. He passes this addi-
tional cost onto the farmer, but gives the W001
grower about" one—third of this 45 cents in in—
creased price of wool. _
A foreign piece of men’s suiting _Weighing,”
18 ounces to the yard is 40 per cent cotton,
30 per cent wool and 30 per cent wool shoddy,
costing on the present rate of exchange $1.09
a yard. A comparable domestic fabric costs
$1.75. Under the Fordney Tariff the duty would
be 24 per cent of this $1.75, or 42 cents; the,
weight dutyat 30 cents a pound, 33 3—4 cents,
and the landing charge 9 1—2 cents, making the
foreign fabric cost here $1.95. Under the present
Emergency, Tarifi, with its 45 cents a pound
weight duty, the fabric would cost $2.08 as .
against the American price of $1.75. '

The wool grower would get 15 cents protec-
tion per pound instead of the 45 cents weight
duty, the manufacturer keeping, 30 cents of the
weight duty, but charging the farmer who buys
clothing the full 45 cents.

The American farmer should be interested to
find out why it is that his common agricultural
tools manufactured in the United States can be‘
bought for less by,the European farmer than he
has to pay for them, thanks to the protective
tariff. For instance, he should inquire why he has
to pay $8.91 a dozen at wholesale for a shovel
manufactured in this country while the identi-
cal shovel exported can be bought in Europe for
$7. 50.

With these facts in mind it is time that the
American farmer let himself he heard in protest
against a protective tarifl which most emphati-
cally does not give him a square deal.

foreign nations to bring about normal condi-
ti‘.ons Taxation, the condition of the currency,
price levels, the transportation system are all in
a condition today which impedes the revival of
that production, with which Europe must pay for
the products of American agriculture. During the
last seven years it has taken our surplus at

higher than they had ever been before. She has
paid for these goods largely with credit which
we have loaned her, and with gold. But these
means of payment are virtually exhausted.

f‘Europe will be better supplied with agricul—
tural products than with manufactured products
for the next few years. Her gold is largely ex—
hausted, so that she must pay for American
farm products with manufactured products if she
is to buy them. But her general industrial pro-
duction will be disorganized for some time to
come. Those things which she has produced in
large quantities are not the things which America
wants. European manufacturers must plan to
meet the needs of the American consuming pub-
lic rather than the needs of Russia from whom
she bought most of her cereals before the war.
It is clear that American agriculture must adjust
production to the needs of the American con-
'suming public.

“In Michigan we have a special problem.
Where twenty years ago we had one person on

These products must all bear f
the increased freight rates and inereaSed labor _‘
costs of packing and handling them. The price , ‘j,
which the consumer pays in Michigan must 111-»
clude all these costs. Michigan should therefore
be an excellent place in which to raise and sell
farm products. But aside frOm dairying and to
some extent truck gardening Michigan agricul’
ture has not adjusted itself to this changed
situation. ' (Continued to pagep . 33”)

hand, back toward the broker, with one finger
raised, we are instructing diim to buy for us
five thousand bushels of wheat. _If we "turn the

a like amount of the same. We should, likewise,
know that many a fortune has gone glimmering
because the palm was turned one way and the
market turned the other. But anyway, this is
the life.

“And since we agriculturists are about to em-
bark in the business of long odds, in which if
we do not have the co-operation of the govern;
ment, we shall at least have its tolerance, it will
be necessary for us to study natural history and
learn about “bulls” and “bears”—not the bovine
animal who has sometimes chased us over the pas-
ture fence; or the black'and cinnamon bears who
climb poles in our city parks, or Ursa Major
and Ursa Minor, who lurk along the milky Way,
but “bears” on exchange.

“If we aspire to be a bear on exchange, we will
say to Mr. Brown, also operating on exchange,
that on Tuesday we will sell him one hundred
thousand bushels oiflwheat at two dollars per
bushel. Of course, We haven’t the wheat, but
we will trust to luck that imaginary wheat will
be selling for one dollar and fifty cents per bushel
before next Tuesday.
Mr. Brown will pay us fifty cents a bushel more
than we have had to pay and the joy bells will
be ringing for us, but what of Mr. Browu?
We will «not'talk about him. However, if the
only wheat we can obtain costs us two dollars
and fifty cents per bushel—the least said about
it the better. In any event, we will be a “bear”
on the stock market, because We are trying to
force prices down ‘as low as we can, and our
names will appear on the roster of the great busi—
ness men of our country. If on the other hand,
we desire to be a “bull,” we will say to Mr.
Brown, ‘we willbuy of you, for immediate de-
livery, one hundred thousand bushels of wheat
at two dollars per bushel.” He will not turn
over the wheat, for he never had it and doesn’t
intend to get it, but we pay him for it and go
into the market and try to sell one hundred
thouSand bushels of imaginary wheat (it might
as well be frog’s wool as wheat), at two dollars
and fifty cents per bushel, and use all our energy
to boost the rice, which constitutes us a “bull”

er than to be a king or a kaiser or any other old
thing that has outlived its usefulness.

True, legislators have had semething to say
about trades on eXChange .where. there was just
a simple payment of differences and no goods

gambling; but lawyers and legislators have never
been very troublesome and are quite easily ap- ’

Another term common to the stock exchange,
which we must understand, is the “straddle.”
'l'histransaction is much more simple than it
sounds—+111 fact, some people have considered it

WILIGHT was beginning to dim
~' the Norwegian landscape as our
train cleared the last lap of our des-
cent through prosperous farming
communities and pulled into the
= railway yards of the capitol city of
”Christiania. Snow and ice, moun-
i‘tains and tunnels had long since
en left behind. In the short jour-
ney of a hundred miles from the
crest of the snow-topped mountain
range to the foot of the easteni
“slopes primitive modes of living and

The principal thoroughfare ,of
Christiania is the Drammensveien,
which extends down through the
heart of the city for about a half ~ .
mile. It is flanked on one side by
modern office and store buildings
and on the 'other-by a great rect-
angular park. At one end of the
park stands [the legislative buildings
and at the other the Royal Palace.

HAT goes up must come down” is a saying
which is really of some significance.

. There must be something to hold up a thing or .
else it will drop." There is a, reaSon for every-.

thing. Things don’t ‘just happen.’. There is a
cause for the happening. Prices are not an ex-
ception to this rule. If they go up they will like-
wise come down unless something holds them
lop * l * *

Early in 1920 appearances led- us to believe
that the industrial activity was to continue and
therefore keep prices high. There was need for
building. The railroads were returned to pri-
vate management. The railroads needed, great
quantities of new equipment and, much repair
work was waiting to be done. There was a great
demand for all kinds of basic materials .and
equipment. All laborers were employed and
more were wanted. Everyone wanted goods for
personal use. The people had buying'power.

. During the early months of the year some men
were pointing out danger signals and were con-
sidered pessimistic. Europe seemed to be a point
of danger; but, it was not ‘until May, 1920, that
widespread consideration was given to the sig-
nificance of our foreign relations. It was in that
-month that Japan experienced a panic which had
its effect in the United States principally in con-
nection With the silk industry. Even at this
time we did not see the . approaching disaster.
Men who were in a position which should have
given them an insight into the way things were
going expressed the opinion that the disturb-
anCe in Japan and Europe would not have any
great influence on our industry. However, at this
time the price peak had been reached and we
Were just entering into the period of price de-
clines and industrial stagnation. We were a
nation of business people who could not analyze
economic conditions and forsee the trends.

‘

The following are the underlying reasons why '

prices declined. ‘
First, and foremost Was the decreased buying
power of Europe. The people of the war strick-

Is it possible to separate the enterprises of a _
farm of this kind, ,to analyze the costs of dairy
cows, of hogs and' of each crop separately and
to find Weaknesses in the organization if there
be any? v ‘

In addition to the overhead costs there are
direct costs which are more susceptible to
changes in the internal organization of a farm
as a study of the following tables of enterprise
costs and'yields on this particular dairy farm
will show.

other hand to the voluntary actions of the
American people. This voluntary cessation _,0
buying in this country was the result of a teen
ing that prices. were too high and that. they
would soon have to come down. This so-calleti,“
buyer’s strike had a great effect on the trend'
of the next few months. It might be said that
it helped the movement along to quite a. con-e.
siderable extent. When the demand for godds
fell off prices decreased.
It is a fundamental of our economic activity
that we all desire to get as much for what w ,4
have to sell as we possibly can. Likewise, it is
true that we try to_ buy the things we need as
cheaply as possible. It is quite natural that at- ,
tempts were made by various industries to main-
tain the high prices which prevailed. Everyone
wanted the other fellow to cut prices. No one
wanted to reduce his own prices. The export
trade was the first to be hurt. The decline in'
this line affected agriculture in particular be-
cause raw agricultural products enter into for-
eign trade quite extensively. Also the decline 'in‘a,
foreign trade in manufactured goods .caused":
those goods made for export to be thrown upon]
the home market. This caused the demand for
goods from factories to decrease. Factories de- .
creaSed their Operations and quit buying raw ,
materials. Some factories laid off some of their
employees. These events caused the demand for'
goods to further decrease and another decline
in prices. _.
Decreased operations of factories caused un-
employment of labor. The decrease in the prices-
of farm products and the increased unemploy— ..
ment of labor caused the buying power of theSe
two great classes of consumers to be greatly 'cura“
tailed. This curtailment in buying power-brought
about a further decrease in demand for goods
and therefore further price reductions. It seems
that when a decline of this kind starts it be-'
comes cumulative and every event which takes
place makes conditions much worse. ’
Price reductions have V

ALFALFA WITH WEEAQOR
OATS

I would like to sow a ilittle’ alfalfa -

this spring. 1 haVe two gvoces, one of
wheat and one of oats. ouid like to
know which would be best to seed into.
The wheat is on clay loam and has been
fertilized with commercial fertilizer at
the rate of 150 pounds per acre.-The oat
ground is the same kind of Soil and will
fertilize about the some. Would rather
seed the wheat if I was as sure. of a'
catch. What kind of alfalfa would you
recommend, as I have not sown alfalfa.
before? Would you recommend Inocula-
tion? How much alfalfa seed would you
sow per acre?——-E. E ,Colling, Mich.

Will you please inform me as to which
would be the surest and best way to
get a catch of alfalfa? The field is good
soil, was well manured last spring and
was planted to com last year. It is free
from grass and I am going to plant to
oats this spring. Would you sow alfalfa
with oats or sweet clover with oats and
alfalfa later and how long before I could
sow alfalfa after the sweet cover?‘——H.
E. G., Belleview, Mich.

Excellent stands of alfalfa can be
secured with, wheat under proper
conditions. Alfalfa will
throughthe application of one hun-
dred and fifty pounds of fertilizer
made at time of planting wheat.

As to whether or not a-good stand
will result will depend very largely
onthe lime content of the soil. If
the soil does not need lime alfalfa
should start well. If, on the other
hand, the soil is acid, a. dressing of
two tons of finely ground limestone
should be made in late winter or

 

. early spring. Clay loam on which

clover does well will give good re~
sults with alfalfa without liming.

In seeding alfalfa with cats a
lighter seeding of oats (one bushel
per acre) will 'benefit the alfalfa
seeding. Fertilizer applied with the
oats will also help in giving the al-
falfa a start but will not replace
lime where needed.

Northern grown alfalfa seed, par—
ticularly the-Grimm variety, should
be used. Seed should be applied
broadcast with fiddle seeder at‘the
rate of from ten to twelve pounds
per acre, or drilled in, crossing the
rows. ,If seeded broadcast the seed-
ing should be harrowed’ in with
spike tooth harrowv with drills
slanting .slightly backwards, so as
not to tear out the wheat. If com-
mon northern groWn alfalfa is used
fifteen pounds per acre should be
seeded.

Northern grown seed of Grimm
and common alfalfa can be secured
from the Michigan State Farm
Bureau, Lansing, Mich.

Culture fer inoculation may be se-
cured from the Department of Bac-
teriology, of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, East Lansing. The
price is 25c per- bottle and one bot-
tle contains sufficient material to
inoculate a bushel of seed—J. F.

, Cox, Professor of Farm- Crops, M. .

DIVISION on PROPERTY

If a man and wife part what share of
the real estate can wife hold, the deed
being made to both parties? Also what
part of the personal-property can hus-
band sell? As ever a friend to the M.
B. F.-——G. 8., Coleman, Mich.

Upon separation of husband and
Wife each is entitled to such part
of the property as they can convince
the judge who hears the matter they
are entitled to. The statute seems
to give the judge full authority in
the premises—Legal Editor.

SHUT 'EM UP!

»My neighbor is too careless to keep‘

his hogs enclosed. If they enter and
damage my garden what redress have I?
Have I the right to lock them up? Have
I the right to shoot them ?——G. M.. Clio,
Mich. 1

You may collect damages by suit
at .lawor you may impound his
trespassing animals and‘hold them

'until he pays the damage and ex- .

penises of keeping. ‘You may not
shoot or otherwise injure his ani-
mals.—-Edit0r. .

 

’ LIME Fen CELERY
Please Would you tell eif lime is as
good as fertilizer for cotee plants when.

they are replantéd 9—J 13;. Bay City, ;

Mich

Most of the muck soils in Michi-
gap which i e chi h
lime and:

' 'vine, Bureau

benefit ‘

{but if the celery is grown on a low
(I don’t know of any
such area) then lime should be, of

course, essential. In other words,
celery is no different from any other

- crops grown on muekf Our low lime

'mucks' require lime in order to grow

‘ most crops successfully, while our

high lime mucks do not require it.

I would suggest that you send
a sample 'of the muck to the Soils
Department at the Agricultural Col-
lege and determine whether it. is a
high or low lime muck.—+Ezra Le—
of Agricultural De-
velopmont.

AN “ESTABLISHED” FENCE
How many years must a line fence be
built before it is an established fence?
A certain fence has been on the same
line for 50 years but my new neighbor
wishes to' movo it. Can. he do so?—-—D.
Belleville, Mich.

Iothink you mean by the words
“established fence” to acouire title
to the land fenced in by adverse
possession. To claim the land
fenced in would require 15 years Of
actual, continuous, visible, notorious

“distinct and hostile to every body.

This does not apply to street or road
fences because of a statute which
prevents it. I would be of the opin-
ion that where a fence‘has been on
a certain lin'e acquiessed in for 50
years established that line as the
true line. —-Legal Editor.

‘ EASTER

If possible please inform me how the
date of Easter Sunday is fixed from year
to year. I enjoy reading your valuable
paper very much.—J. L , Loftis, Mich.

‘ Easter falls upon the Sunday fol-
lowing the first full moon after the
vernal equinox the first day‘ of
spring, which occurs on the 2_1st
day of March each year. If you will
look ,at your almanac or calendar

you will find that the first full moo-n

following March 2151: this 'year oc-
curs on -April 11th. Therefore,
Easter falls upon thefollowing Sun-
day, or April 16th. This final method
of determining the date of Easter
was arrived at onlyafter consider-
able juggling by eccesiasticai bodies.
At first the Christian EaSter was
celebrated on ‘the same day as the
Hebrew pasSover, or the 14th day of
the Jewish month Nisan which cor-
responds closely to- our month of

March. After a time the date was.

transferred to the Sunday following
the 14th, “doubtless primarily to
make the difference between Juda-
ism and Christianity!" Easter has
been observed at different times in
the early ages on March -26th, April
23rd, March 215i, April 15th and
April 25th. It was finally at the
Council of Nice in 325 A. D., that
the present method of determining
Easter was decided upon, and that

'method has been followed with some

variations indiflerent countries up
to the present time—Editor.

FITTING GROUND FOR OATS

Would you prefer to plow ground for
oats in the spring if a roller is used in
fitting or would it be best to work the
ground up without plowing? This ground

had potatoes on. last year.—F'. M. I.,
Hersey. Mich. ‘

_ Potato ground which is free of
grass, should be put in excellent con—
dition for cats by thorough dissing
and rolling. What is still better on
a firm clean seed bed, which con-
dition can bo‘produced in the case
of average land which has been in
corn and potatoes, is by a thorough
discing in the spring and the use of
the roller; or cultipaoker. ——J. F. Cox,
Professor of Farm Crops, M. A. C.

RECOVER MONEY PAID FOR COW

WIHCH FAILS T0 FRESHEN

I sold a cbw last October telling put-
chaser I thought she wOuld freshen be-
tween the last of/December and the mid-
dle of J tuary. Not knowing the ex-
act date 9 cow had been served, the
time mentioned for her to freshen was
given to the best of my knowledge.

Now A sends me a letter dated the
18th. advising me he had had It few
dairy'men examine her telling him the
cow would not be fresh for months. He
writes “ I hereby ask you to take the
cow ofl the premises and refund the
money as the deal has been. misrepre-
sented. Would like to have this matter
adjusted Within nine days or I Will- be
compelled to start legal proceedings
against you " The cow is not in as good
condition now as when I had her A be-
ing a city man and understands very
litttlilet about the care and feeding of live
s 00

If A starts legal proceedings as he

threatens is there a law compelling me ,
- to take back the cow and r efund the

money? There was no verbal of written
agreement about taking back the cow if
she did not freshen on a certain date. —-—
W. S., Redford, Mich

There is no express statute saying
that you must take back the cow
but‘ the courts put this interpreta-
tion'on the law that if the cow is
not as reprosentlad,'ove’n though you
thought the representations 'were
true, still‘ho bought-the cow under
representations that turned out dif-
ferent than represented. He may of-
fer to return the cowand recover
the money paid or he may retain
the cow and recover from you the

difference between the value of the '

cow as she was "when you sold it and
the value she would have had had
she been as represented. The right
to return the cow and recover the
money was on the basis that the cow
was as represented and not being

so he could avoid the contract and i

ask to be placed as he was before
the bargain was. made—Legal

’DOES rr PAY TO RAISE CABBAGE

market good? Would like to grow a

Prices on- cabbage last fall f., o.

$35 to $45 per ton. At no time dur-

very active, and, holders of old cab-
bage are having a difiicult time dis—

of Michigan cabbage is sold thru

DIVISION OF PROFITS

What would be considered a fair share
for both" owner and renter on potatoes
and beansonly, where owner furnishes
everything and renter does work?——R.
McE., Oceana County.

In general practices where the
owner furnishes simply land and
buildings he gets one-third' and
where he furnishes everything ex-'
cept labor he gets two-thirds. In the
case mentioned above, therefore, the
custom on both beans and potatoes
would be one-third to the renter and
two—thirds to the landlord. A slight—
ly different division’is made in the
case of hay which, however, is not
a part of this problem.

Below is a table showing the costs
on 732 acres of potatoes in Michi-
gan in 1921 as these costs are di-

'vided it will be seen that the man

labor represents approximately one—
third which bears out the division
of the product as stated above.

SUGAR FACTORY REFUSE LIME
FOR LAND
Will you please tell me if the lime that
has been used at the sugar factory for
cleansing purposes is all right to use on
the land when sowing alfalfa, and about
how much should be used per acre?———S.

W. K., Alma, Mich.
Sugar beet factory refuse lime is
excellent for liming the land in pre-

paration for better crops of alfalfa’“

and clover. Refuse lime varies from
forty-eight to eighty per cent in cal-
cium and magnesium carbonate ac-
cording 1arge1y- to the amount of
water present. From three to five
'tons per acre may be considered a
good application.

' Refuse lime can be spread by use
of-manure spreader with litter in
the bottom, shovelled direct from
wagon; or shovelled into small piles
twelve to sixteen feet apart and
spread from the piles—J. F. Cox,
Professor" of Farm Crops, M. A.\C.

THE MIL

This milk dealI mean.

I see by the Free Press that milk
will be 120 per quart alter the lat
ot'March, and the producer agrees to
stand part of the deduction. I sup-
. pose the ones that have the most
4 to say about it agreed to that; with-
out even consultingthe rest of us;

I think if we don’t have something
besides milk to sell we will all be
in the. poor house and we 0 won’t
even haVe anything to pay our taxes
with. I: don’t see how the farmer
gets along that is very far in debt.

When we first beganto sell milk
about 6 years ago; we received $1.65
per hundred for milk and the con-
sumer paid five cents per quart, but
now the distributor has to have
more than three times as much as
he.give‘s us. It looks to me like one
party gets the husks and the other
all the good there is inside of them.
Isn’t it true?——Mrs. W. G., Imlay
City, Mich. f '

So far as the Business Farmer can
discoverthere is not a single farm 'or-
ganization which is trying to do anything
to reduce the spread in milk prices. No-
body can be blind to the fact that great
profits are being made in the marketing
of milk at the same time the farmer is
producing at a loss. Wholesale‘ milk
prices are absolutely controlled by the
distributors oi milk and no organization
is doing a single thing to wrest that con-
trol from their hands. Never were farm,-
‘ers so completely at the mercy of the
distributors as they are today. Never
was .there so little prospect in reducing
the spread between buying and selling
prices. Out of 12' cents paid by the con-
sumer, the farmer gets less than 5. But
'we must hush up or else we " will be
accused of knockmgh and we don't like
knockers. Do you ?———-’Editor. ‘

*THE NEWBEBBY STIGMA
WOULD just like to say a few
words regarding the awful con-
dition our good old Republican
party has been placed in by the Re—
publican senators as pertaining to
the seating of Newberry. ‘
, I don’t know how we can keep up
our reputation and vote the Republi-
can ticket any more. If we can they
will have to show me. I propose to
vote the Democratic ticket after this.
I feel sure that the Democrat sena-
tors voted their honest conviction.
I would rather be a turn-coat than
a stand—patter in this case.

Now I don’t know which would
be the most honorable, to sell senate
seats to the highest _bidder or to
bring back the saloon -and grant
high license to raise money to pay
the soldiers bonus. I Would like to
hear from others through the M. B.
F.—E. F., Rodney, Mich.

They are both in the same category,
friend Fisher. There. is no difference be—

tween the debauchery of men by booze
than by money.-——Editor. '

 

 

ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM
AM a reader of the M. B. F. and
I like it fine. ‘I am quite inter—
ested in the talks on taxation
and road work. I see the sentiment
among the farmers is to call a halt
in road building for a year or two.
Good night! Why not stop every
form of industry in the county? Our
government has been laying off men
ever since the last gun was fired in
Europe and the excuse is to 'reduce
taxes. Suppose we reduce taxes, one-
third by depriving the people of
their right to work and make a liv—
ing. How are those people going to
pay either taxes or rent or where
is the farmer’s money coming from
to pay his taxes if the people have
no way of making money to buy
what he produces. .
1 am a’farmer and taxpayer and
I found it very hard’like most of
my brother farmers to get the mom
ey to pay. mygtaxes. But "they are
paid and ‘I’ am still highly lnrtavor

. ried» out .or _any other form of tartar

Cheboygan County, Mich.

The theory of levying» taxes to pwvide
work for the unemployed would wreck
any country. it carried -to its . ultimate
end. A hundred millibn dollars spent
in public improvements in Michigan this
year would robably give employment to
every man. ut under the present. system
of taxation what would it do to the farm-
er. There ls a limit to how high taxes
can go and that limit has just about been
reached in Michigan- Until other sources
of revenue are provided for which will
distribute the burden more evenly theré‘
must be drastic economy in both local

, and state governments. If we could re-
lieve business and the farmer from some
of their tax burdens they would have
more money to 'expand their operations
and hire more men. I am not new con—
demning the 1922 road program of which
you speak Uut‘I am sounding a warning
against the principle of unlimited public
expenditures as a means or relieving Im-
employment.—-Editor. . ‘

BIFF! BANG! TAKE THE COUNT, ‘

UNCLE RUBE .

HAVE just read what Rhoda has

to say about Uncle .Rube’s arti-

cle on women’s clothes, also her
comment on the plain farmers or
Ingiham county. I want tb say it.
arouses my indignation to see this~
subject being made so light of as
it is a far more serious matter than
many people ,realize. I mean the
matter of modern dress or more pro-1.
perly undress. . ,. '

I heartily agree with Rube where
he says our girls are just/ as sweet’
and good at heart as they, ever
were, but I certainly thought he had
better sense than to uphold the
ridiculous styles that have (been
foisted upon them by designing men
and women with the end in view of
causing their downfall, which has
also been accomplished in hundreds

‘of'cases through this very medium.

I want it distinctly. understood.
that I am not a religiouHmnk, nor
a. would—be reformer as some have
suggested that all who condemn
modern styles are, but I‘am just a
plain farmer, the father. of a. family
of boys and-girls and endowed with
some good common sense. How any- -
one with reasonable intelligence can
sanction the indecencies that are be—
ingparaded before the public today
under, the name of fashion ismore
than I can understand. I know I

"will be branded by some as an old
fogy farmer, and that I'need to get
out and see the world and move up
abreast of the times. I' will 'say for
the'benefit of all such that I haVe
been on the farm only five . years.
Previous to this time I have-been
a city man, having lived in some of
the largest cities of our land, and am
thoroughly cenversant with city life
as well as the country. ' _

Remember I am not blaming our

young girls because of the way they ,

dress,. as it is only natural for them

to do as they are taught. But I do.
blame the-older men and women .

they become accustomed to these

THE POTATO ESTIMATE

it to the farmers on the potato
deal, haven’t they? They have been
rewriting right alang that there
were ‘about ‘7 6,000,000 bushels less
potatoes raised last year than the
year before and also the Jan. 1st
report' showed that 18,000 ms
more had been shipped'to date than
a. year ago, and» now. the same
bureau comes out with the startling
statement that in the 13_ leading
potato states there are yet 5,000 cars
or abput 3,000,000 bushels more po-»

there were a year ago. This looks

the next. year I put the whole field
into oats and let me now tell you or
what a dinerence there was in the
two halves of the field. In the half
that had beets on twice the oats
we're about 10 to 12 inches shorter
than the half with beets on once. I
could stand in the road and, see
where the beets were planted twice,
a dividing line clear through the
field.’ So I cutout beets forever on

”WHY I LIKE THE M. B. F."

‘ EAR EDITOR: I have received
more good from your paper this
,. week (Feb. 11) than all other
papers that come to my home.

The picture, “Dad gave him to
me.”—-—~Look" at the confidence and
trust in both boy,and pig. -

Then the editorial, I“Your Son,”
is far—reaching and suggests much
to us parents. »

I am glad you are liberal enough
to print both sides to the Santa
question. Would like to offer a few
more thoughts‘if you have room and
thing best to print them—C. H. K.,

The most welcome letters which come
to the editor’s desk are the letters from
subscribers. It does not matter upon

, what subject they are written. It does
not matter what kind of advige o§ in—
' formation they may request. It doe
matter whether they praise or condemn.
The reading of them is a joy and privi—
lege. Space does not always permit the
publication of all letters. We haVe a
hundred or more In our files which we
have not yet been able to print, but as
, space permits they will be used. We are
anxious always to learn which depart-

ments our readers like best, so in writ-
ing to the editor why not tell him “why

Editor.

A GUBERNATIONAL SUGGESTION
. NOTE with pleasure that you say

the next governor will be a man

who has the courage to say “this
must be cut” and “we cannot afiord
that.” I thoroughly agree with you
on, that point: If the people don’t
,put in. suchm. man they deserve all
the taxes they may get.

I cannot, however, say that I
agree with you in regard to Mr.
Groesbeek; He ~may have applied
brains, all/right, but he surely has
compelled the people to apply the
money. It seems tome that his
course of action is the very last one
to be commended in. these close
times. I-

Let’s praise the powers that
there’s one‘ man at Lansing who
would fight~a higher salary and try
to keep others from getting more;
who isnot afraid to say “this must“
be cut” and “we cannot afford that.”
This man is O. B. Fuller, auditor
general at present, but if the people

- know a good thing, he will be the
next governor.—-—F. W. Miller, Shia-
wassee County. ‘ \

There is no particular reason why we.
should rise to the defense of the present
governor, except that ‘we admire 'a. man’
w 0 IE we are to believe what
we hear Mr. esbeclt found the a:—.

fair: of the state in a more or less chaotic
condition, the state institutions over-

crowded, and other problems which would ~

-xhave tried the courage of any‘man. He
has brought order out of chaos, consoli-
dated departments, and put the govern-

‘ment qn a firm, businesslike basii.‘

FENCE-V,“

 

(Continued‘from last week)

HERE was [no hesitation in the
manner of his going. Free of the
pain of his w-,ounds 'strong-

limbed, deep- -lunged as the strongest '

wolf of the forests, he went on tire-
lessly. Rabbits bobbing out on his
path did not make him pause; even
the strong scent of a fisher-cat almost
under' his nose did not swerve him
a foot from the trail. Through swamp
and deep forest, over lake and
stream across open barren and char-
red burns his unerring sense cf ori-
entation led him on. Once he stop-
ped to drink where the swift cur—
rent of a creek kept the water open.
Even then he gulped in haste—and
shot on. The moon drifted lower
and lower until it sa-nk‘into oblivion.
The stars began to fade away. The
little ones went out, and the big
ones grew sleepy and dull. A great
snow— ~ghostly gloom settled over the
forest world.

In the six hours between midnight

and dawn he covered thirty— five
miles.
And then he stopped. Dropping

on his belly beside a rock at the
crest of a ridge he watched the birth
of day. With drooling jaws and
planting breath he rested, until at
last the dull gold of the winter sun
began to paint the eastern sky. And
then Came the first bars of vivid sun-
light, shooting over the eastern
ramparts as guns flash from behind
their battlements, and Miki rose to
his feet and surveyed 'thegmorning
wonder of his World. Behind him
was Fort O’ God, fifty miles away;
ahead of him the cabin—twenty. it

was the cabin he faced as he Went

down from the ridge.

As the miles between him and the
cabin grew fewer and fewer he felt
again something of the oppression
that had borne upon him at Chal-
loner’s tent. And yet it was differ—
ent. .He had run his race. He had
answered The Call. And now, at the
end, he was seized by a tear of what
his Welcome would be. For at the
cabin he had killed a man—wand the
man had belonged to the woman.
His progress became more hesitat—
ing. Mid-forenoon found him only
half a mile from the home of Na—
nette and the baby. His keen nos-
trals caught the faint tang of smoke
in the air. He did not follow it up,
but circled like ,a wolf, coming up
stealthily' and uncertainly until at
last he looked out into the little
clearing where a new world had
come into existence for him. He saw
the sapling cage in which Jacques
Le Beau had kept him a prisoner;
the door of that cage was still open,
as Durant had Ileft it after stealing
him; he saw the ploughed-up snow
Where he had leapt upon the man-
brute———and he Whined. ,

He was facing the cabin door ——
and the door was wide open. lie
could see no life, but he could smell
it. And smoke was rising from the
chimney. He slunk across‘ the open.
In the manner of his going there
was an abject humiliation—a plea
for mercy if he had done wrong, a
prayer to the creatures he wor-
shipped that he might not be driven
away.

He came to the door, and peered
in. The room was empty. Nanette
was not there. Then his ears shot
forward and his body grew sudden—
ly tense, and he listened, listened,

listened to a soft, c‘ooing Sound that ,

was-coming from the crib. He swal-
lowed hard; the faintest Whine rose
in his throat and his-claws clicked,
clicked, clicked, across the floor and
he thrust his great head‘ over the
side of the little bed. The baby was
there. With his warm tongue he
kissed 'it—just ones—and then, with
another deep breath, lay down on
the floor.

He heard footsteps. Nanette came
in with her arms filled with 111
kets;- she carried these ‘11:,

under the club and the whip of a
brute, and in the re— birth of her soul
she was glorious. Youth had come
back to her—freed from the yoke
of oppression. She was happy.
Happy with her baby, with freedom,
with the sun and the stars shining
for her again; and with new hope,
the greatest star of all. Again on

the night of that first day of his.

return Miki crept up to her when
she?“ was brushing her glorious hair.
He loved to put his muzzle in it; he
loved the sweet scent of it; he loved
to put his head on her knees and»
feel it smothering him.” And Nanette
hugged him tight, even as she
hugged the baby, for it was Miki
who had brought her freedom, and
hope, and life. What had passed
was no longer a tragedy. It was
justice.
for-her what a father or a brother
would have done.

And the second night after that,
when Challoner came early in the
darkness, it happened that Nanette
had ‘her hair down in that same way;
and Challoner, seeing her thus, with
the lampglow shining in her eyes,
felt that the World had taken a
sudden swift turn under his feet—
that through all his years he had
been working forward to this hour.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

ITH the coming of Challoner to
the cabin of Nanette Le Beau
there was no longer a shadow

of gloom in the world for Miki. He
did not reason out the wonder of it,
nor did he have a forboding for the.
future. 'It was the present in which
he lived—the precious ‘hours in
which all the creatures he had ever
loved were together. And yet, away
back in his memory of those things
that had grown deep in his soul,

was the picture of Neewa, the bear;

his brother, his
fighting comrade of many battles,
and he thought of the cold and snow—
smothered cavern at the top of the
ridge in which Neewa had buried
himself in that long and -mysterious
sleep that was so much like death.
But it was in the present that .he
lived. The hours lengthened them-
selves out into days, and still Chal-
loner did not go, nor did Nanette
leave with the Indian for Fort O’—
God. The Indian returned with a
note for MacD’onnell in which Chal-
loner told the Factor that something
was the matter with the baby’s

, lungs, and that she could not travel

until the weather, which was intense—
ly cold, -grew warmer. He asked
that'the Indian be sent back with
certain supplies.

In spite of the terrific cold which
followed the birth of the new year
Challoner had put up his tent in the
edge of the timber a hundred yards
from the cabin, and Miki divided
his time between the cabin and. the
tent. For him they were glorious
days. And for Challoner

In a way Miki saw, though it was
impossible for. himto comprehend.
As the days lengthened into a week,
and the week into two, there was

 

something in the glow of Nanette’s -
eyes that had never been there be-

transformed her face into a face of

was more puzzled when Challoner

covered her face with her hands and
sobbed. Half a snarl rose in Miki’s
threat, but in that moment Challon-
er had put his arm around Nanette

\too, and Nanette’s arms were about

him and the baby, and she was sob—
bing something which for the life
of him Miki could make neither
ihead nor tail of. And yet: he knew
that he must not snarl or spring.
He .felt the wonder-thrill of the new
thing that had come into the cabin;
he 'gulped hard, and looked. A mo-
ment or two later Nanette was on
her knees eside him, and her arms
around hi just as they had been
around the And Challoner was
dancing like a

   
 
  
 
 

baby in his arms. Then he, too,
dropped down be 'de Miki and
cried:

“My Gawd! Mik —I’ve, got a
fam’ly!”

And Miki tried to understand.

That night, after supper, he saw ‘

Challoner unbraid anette’s glori-
ous hair, and brush it. They laughed
like two happy children. Miki tried
still harder to understand.

When Challoner went to go to
his tent in the edge of the forest
he took Nanette in his arms, and
kissed her, and stroked her shining
hair, and Nanette took his face be—
tween her hands and smiled and al—
most cried in her joy.

After that Miki did understand.
He knew that happiness "had come
to all who were in that cabin.

Now that his world was settled,
Miki tbok once more to~hu«nting.
The thrill of the trail came back
to him, and wider and wider grew
his range from the cabin. Again he
followed Le Beau’s old trapline. But
the traps were sprung now. He had
lost a great deal of hisold caution.
He had grown fatter. He no longer
scented danger in every whiff of the
wind. It was in the third week of
Challoiner’s stay at the cabin, the
day which marked the end of the
cold spell and the beginning of
warm weather, that Miki came upon
an old dead-fall in a swamp a full
ten miles (from the clearing. Le Beau
had set it for lynx, but nothing had
touched the bait, which was a chunk
of caribou flesh, frozen solid as a
rock. Curiously Mkii began smell-

, ing of it. He no longer feared dang-

er. Menace had gone out of.his
world. He nibbled. He pulled—and
the log crashed down to break his
back. Only by a little did it fail.
For twenty—four hours it held him
helpless and crippled. Then, fight-
ing through all those hours, he
dragged himself out from. under it.
With the rising temperature a soft
snow had fallen, covering all tracks
and trails. Through this snow Miki
dragged himself, leaving a path like
that of an otter in the mud, for his
hind quarters were helpless. .H'is
back Was not broken; it was'tem-
porarily paralyzed by the blow and
the weight of the log.

He, made in the direction of 'the
cabin, but every :foot that he dragged
himself was filled with agony, and
his progress was so slow that at the

end of an hour he had not gone.

more than a quarter of a mile.
Another night found him less than
two miles from the deadfall. He
pulled himself under a shelter of
brush and lay there until dawn. All
through that day he did not move.
The next, which was the fourth since
he had- left the cabin to hunt, the
pain in his back was not so, great.
But he could pull himself through
the snow only a few yards at a time.
Again the good spirit of the forests
favored him for in the afternoon
he came upon the partly eaten car-
cass of a buck killed by the wolves.

. The flesh was frozen but he gnawed

at it ravenously. Then he «found

in her eyes—suddenly‘

efOre he could

 

_ In the edge of the clearing there
fell upon him slowly a foreboding
of great change. The cabin was
there. It was no different than it
had been fifteen days ago. But out
of the chimney there came no smoke,
and the windows were white with
frost. About it the snow lay ‘clean
and white, like an unspotted sheet.

" He made his way hesitatingly across

the clearing to the door. There
were no tracks. Drifted snow was
piled .high over the sill. He whined,
and scratched at the door. There
was no answer. And he heard no
sound. ,

He went back into the edge of the
timber, and waited. He waited all
through that day, going occasional-
ly to the cabin, and smelling‘about
it, to convince himself that he had
not made a mistake. When darkness
came. he hollowed himself out a bed
in the fresh snow ‘close to the door
and lay there all through the night.
Day came again, gray and empty and
still there was no smoke from the
chimney or sound from within the
log walls, and at last he knew that
Challoner and Nanette and the baby
were gone.

But he was hopeful. He no longer

 

”fished. and '
from out of the forest

,He made short quests, hunting now
-'on this side and new on that of the
cabin, snifling futilely. at the fresh ~-

andj'trackless snow and pointing the
wind for minutes at a time. In the
afternoon, with a forlorn slouch to
his body, he went deeper into the
forest to hunt for a rabbit. When
he‘had killed and eaten his supper
he returned again and slept a se—
cond night in the burrow beside the
door. A third day and a'third night
he remained, and the third night he
heard the wolves howling under a
clear and star-filled sky, and from
him there came his _'first cry—a
yearning, grief-filled cry that, rose
wailingly out of the clearing; the
entreaty for his master, for Nanette,
and the baby. It was not an answer
to the wolves. In its note there was
a trembling fear, the voicing of a
thing that had grown into hopeless-
ness.

And now there settled upon him a

‘loneliness greater than any loneli-

ness he had ever known. Something
seemdd to whisper to his canine
brain that all he had seen and felt
had been but a dream, and that he
was face to face with his old world
again, its dangers, its vast and soul—-
breaking emptiness, its friendless-
ness, its ceaseless strife for exist-
ence. His instincts, dulled by the
worship of what the cabin had held,

Henry Ford’s Farming Notions

F Henry Ford has failed -to fire the world

with enthusiasm-over his notions on farm-
ing it is not his fault. Sitting upon a stump
or tractor in the center of his great farm at
Dearborn he has dreamed wonderful dreams
of an agriculture devoid of .ugruelling labor
and long hours. He has visualized a farm on
which human labor is reduced to the minimum
and iron genii perform the work of p10wing,
fitting, seeding, cultivating and harvesting
w1th miraculous rapidity and efi‘iciency while
the farmer sits on the porch smoking his pipe.

“Farming is so simple,” said Mr. Ford in
:1 recent interview, “anyone can learn in a
few days. We take a gang of men right out
of our auto or tractor shop and put them into
the field. It does them good. They do up the'
season ’3 work in a few days and then back
they go into the shop again.”

Mr. Ford dreams better in his factory than
he does on his farm .The whirr of the ‘ma-
chinery keeps his mind from wandering too
far afield away from the probable and prac-
tical. But given a hazy sort of a summer day
with nothing to? do but whittle and dream and
almost anyone with an ounce of imagination
can conjure up on the distant horizon'the‘
prettiest pictures this side of Umpia. ,

The cutting of afield of wheat is a simple
job. So is the turning of a nut on a bolt. But
it took brains and years of painstaking re-

search - and experimentation to produce that .

5' field of wheat and make that nut and bolt. No
one can learn in a few’days the science of
chemistry and mechanics from which was
evolved those simple bits of steel. ,Nor can
anyone learn in a few days the chemistry of
soils and the science of agriculture which was
absolutely necessary knowledge to produce
that field of wheat which Mr. Ford’s factory.
workers laid to the ground so easily.

The farm is a factory. As such a large part
of the work performed is mere manual and mc~
chanical effort. 'But as in the factory there
are certain steps in- the manufacture of the
product which require keen intelligence, good
judgment, and a trained mind. Mr Ford can
re more expect an inexperienced farm hand
to successfully manage a complete farmmg en-
terprise after a few. Perfunctory lessons than

Has Labor Been Misjudged?

HOSE who fear a. political union be—
, tween organized labor, and agriculture
are insistent that the interests of the two will.
never mix. It is common belief that there is
no basis for co-operation, political or other—
wise, between the two because the wages or
prices paid to the one are a direct levy
against the pocketbook of the other.

_ . Representatives of organized labor say this

.is a fallacy. They say that the laboring man
might better pay a high‘ price than not to be
able to buy at. all. They say that .when the
farmer is prosperous and can” buy, the ‘pro-
ducts of the factOries the laboring man‘ can
secure higher wages and pay better prices for
the products of the farms; .

‘* Speaking before the House Committee on
Agriculture Edgar Wallace, legislative repre-
sentative of the American Federation ofLabor
made a strong plea for stabilization of the
prices on farm products by the fixing of a
minimum price and‘ the legalizing 0f priCe in-
fluencing methods by organized agreulture.

Admitting ,that the adoption of these meas- .

ures might increase
Wallace said f: .

“It has been said that the interest of the work-I
ers and the farmers are divergent, inasmuch as
they (the farmers) need high prices for their
toodstuil's, while we need. low prices‘tor our food-
stuirs, inasmuch as they would prosper from
cheap costs for labor, while we prosper from the
high cost of labor. But against that I will put
this one patent fact: The farmers are our cus-
tomers; when they have no money we cannot
work. We are the farmers’ customers; when we'
cannot buy, their foodstufls pile up and lose ”in
vamp."

That is a plain economic fact which has
been vividly illustrated the past few months.
But very 'few of the rank and file of laboring
men and farmers can sceg‘it that way. The
fact is stated and commented upon here, 1101; as

the cost of- living, Mr.

an argumentin favor of lthe proposed united ’

political action for the correctiOn of fancied
wrongs or actual wrongs, which cannot be
remedied that way, but merely to correct the
general impression that the ,. interests of these
two considerable classes of people are dia-
metrically opposed. When we brush aside
the cobwcbs of prejudice and misunderstand-
ing We find that they have very‘many things
111 common. , .

. Fogyism ‘
CIVILIZATION drags on its weary way
despite the fetters of fogyism. Some
men do not sense that change is the unalter-
able rule-of the universe. They live in - the
past. They seek to shape present day cus-
toms and thought .to thé standards of an age‘
gone by.. They ignore new conditions among
“men and new aspirations to which these .con-
ditions give birth. If they 'never rise above
the level of the common herd no harm. is
done; civilization marches serenely on in’
blissful ignorance ‘of their presence. But‘
given position of authority they hamper and
impede the progress of truth and justice.

Labor and Liquor

- HE demand of the American Federation
of Labor fer the restoration of light wine

and, beer has no significance, we are told by
many labor authorities, so far as being a true
reflection of labor ’8 attitude upon the liquor
question is concerned. Several prominent ls»-
bor journals have roundly denounced the A. F.
B. F. officials for their audacity in putting la-

- bor on record, and a recent press despatch

quotes United States Congressman Cooper of
Ohio, as declaring that the opinion of the na-
tional organization heads is not endorsed by
the workingmcn.‘ P ..

Cooper, who is a former railway engineer,
and recognized labor spokesman, is quoted 'as
saying: ‘ -~ ”

“With the modifications proposed the country \

would-be worse on than now, even it the ”law ,
is violated as‘beer advocates claim. Liquor alv .

' ways has defied the law, as much'or more be-

fore prohibition as since. It I had to decide
between indiscrimmatc sale of beer in hotels and '.
elsewhere as proposed and the saloon, I say
give me back the Old~time s‘aloon.”

The writer is in 7 perfect agreement.
with this View. From his observations
of the result of legalized traffic in beer and
wines in Norway he is absolutely convinced
that the regulated saloon is to be preferred to
the indiscriminate sale of' the lighter bever-
ages. There is nomiddlcgmund. It is a case

departmait may render the fullest
possible service.

1. Every question intended for
this department must be addressed
to Radio Editor, Michigan Business
Farmer, Mount m, Mich.

(home‘s must be as short
and simple ‘as peasible. Do not hesi-
tate to draw rough sketches in order
to make meaning perfectly clear. ,

,4. Follow the department closely
and make sure before asking your
question that a similar question has
not aIreddy been answered in a pre-
vious issue. Our service department
receives scores of reQuests a month
for information which has already
been published.

The Business Farmer is anxious
to be of service to its readers and
invites questions upon any problem
which may be bothering them. By
observing the simple rules laid down
above it will greatly facilitate our
Marta—Editor. ,

A WORD FROM MR. FERBIS

T is evident that many farmers are

now interested in securing in?

formation about radio-telephony,
its uses, cost of materials; installa—
tion, operation, cost of up-keep and
instructions for operating. The tech-
nical side of this interesting subject
is not of importance except to the

 

.‘ student, experimenter and manufac-

turer. The simple, common-sense and
easy to understand side is the . one
we will try to cover in full, in this
Radio-phone Department, so that
you, or any reader of the Michigan
Business Farmer can buy safely and ~
*sanely, and install and operate a set

_ suitable for your locality at 1111' ex-

.‘pense no greater than necessary. .

In an early issue we will begin
our regular series or articles, cov-
ering step by step the radio tele-.
phone and telegraph so that by next
winter you should be able to buy
intelligently, install and operate
your own set 01" the set that your
neighborhood, school‘or church has
been wanting.

The questions answered below are
a few of the many which were re-
ceived as a result of the article in
the March 4th issue. I have rear-
ranged the questions slightly in ord-
er to include parts of other ques-
tions, so that the greatest amount of
information can be given in the
smallest amount of space—J. Her—
bert Ferris, Radio Editor. .

 

NO LICENSE REQUIRED
Is a license of any kind required for
a sending or receiving set. if so what
llzicthhe cost? ,‘Saginaw county,

No license is required for a re-
ceiving set. A license, issued by the
U. S. Dept. of Commerce is required,
for all sending sets, .whether for
radio telegraph or telephone. There

. is no cost for this license, but there

are certain provisions of the law
that must be observed, and an ex.-
amination of the applicant before
the license-is issued. - . ,

 

RADIO LAWS

Where can I find out what the law is ~
about radio?—-—D.- D., Hillsdale County,
Mich.

A copy of the “Radio Communica-
tlon Laws" of the United States may
be secured by writing to the Supt.
of Documents. Washington, D. 0.,
and enclosing 15c in currency or
money order (stamps will not ac-
cepted). If you are thinking of put.-
ting 11p a sending set you will need

I buy many of my standard parts
from one of them.

 

REFER TO THIS DEPARTMENT
What book Will tell me how to “wor ”
a wireless set,‘ or where can I} find out
fimut them?--E. P., Wexford County,
ich. '

This department will cover the
subject in a simple, understandable
manner, and with a book or two or
radio magazine you can get the
necessary information. A list of
books will be published in an early
issue as well as the names of maga-
zines.

RADIO MUSIC

My son has a radio telegraph receiv-

ing set. What will I need to get to hear

Edi; telephone?—-A.N N , Sanilac County
ic . ‘

You do not state what kind of a
last he has, and therefore I can not
answer your question, but remember
that any set that will receive radio-
telegraphy signals will also receive
radio-telephone messages or music.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED
What must one have in order to re-

ceive this music, etc?——F. 13., Monroe
County, Mich
To receive, radio music (tele-

phone) or radio telegraph the fol-
lowing must be used: let, an aerial;
2nd, a tuning. set; 3rd a detector;
4th, a good ground connection. Of
course to each one .of these there
are certain accessories that are,
necessary, such as a setof telephone
receIVers, condensers, etc. A de-
scription of each will be given in
our general articles.

INSTALLING OUTFIT
Please give me information on how to

install a set and how to operate it. —G.
B.. Calhoun County, Mich.

It is impossible to give the above
information as you do not state
What kind of aset you wish to in-
stall ..or operate.

COST OF OUTFIT
What will a set for receiving radio
music cost me?—-——H. I. 1-1., Cheboygan
County, Mich

This cannot be answered directly,
but by asking you for more infor—
mation. What stations do you wish
to hear, land do‘you Wish to hear
themrwinter only, or thru the whole
Are you going to listen by
yourself or do you want several to
hear the music? Watch this depart-
ment and this information will be
given in. our general articles“

NO CODE NECESSARY
Do I have to learn a code like the
telegraph to understand the wireless
fileghone?———H. F., Montcalm County,
1c .

It is not necessary to learn any
code Radio telephone is just like
listening to a person talk or sing,
or listening to the playing of any
instrument. In fact it is generally
clearer and truer than an ordinary
telephone, and much better than a
talking machine—J. H. Ferris.

I will mention just a few things that

in your paper: .

When preparing the pan-cake batter
in the morning put in a few tablespoons-
ful of melted lard or fried meat grease,
and you will not have to put any grease
on the griddle.

If grease is dropped on the kitchen
floor put soda on it, then pour on boiling
water and the spot will come out easily.

SOAP RECIPE
Here is a good recipe for soap. My
sis er-in—law made some fine soap in this
wa : Dissolve 1 canof lye with 2 quarts
boiling water and pour it over 4 1-2

. pounds of meat scraps. Let stand three

or four days, but stir it each day, using
a wooden stick. Put this mixture to
cook with two or three quarts of water
and boil until it thickens, adding 2 table-
spoonfuls of borax just before removing
it from the fire. Pour into ‘a box lined
with paper and when cold out into bars.
If these directions .are followed care-
"fully the result is about thirty bars of
beautiful white soaps .

If the lady who prefers the “hot-pack”
method of canning meat would pack her
meat in crooks the result would be the
same and the crooks could be washed
much more easily than cans.

USING yonns or noes . -

. I saw a request in the M. B. F. not
long ago on how the yolks of eggs
might be used when using the whites for
white cake. I am sending one which my
whole family thinks is just fine. ' ~

Checker. Board Cake ‘
Light part—2 1-2 cups pastry flour, 2 .
level teaspoons baking powder, 1 1—4

cups white sugar, ,1-2r cup butter. 1 1-2
cups water or milk, 1 teaspoon flavor, ‘
Whites of 4 eggs. .

Dark part—2 1-2 cups pastry flour, 1
cup brown sugar, 1-2 cup butter 1 1-2
cups» milk or water, 2 level teaspoons
baking powder, 1—2 teaspoonful cloves.
1-2 teaspoonful cinnamon and nutmeg,
yolks of 4 eggs, ‘3 soupspoons of cocoa.

' Can be ut together, dark to light in'
strips or net bake in pan, it isn’t so
much bother and just as nice.

Icing

1 cup sour cream, 1 cup raisins or nut
meats, chopped fine. I hope this will
be some good to someone. .

‘ EARCH DREN’: Why does a

A ‘dog hoWlwhen he hears music?
Have you net often asked your-

self that question? I used to wonder
and thought it was because he did
not like to hear it. Scientists
declare this is not so and that the
deg is pleased and is trying to imi-
tate it. In a book on the cat by a
well known author one whole chap—
ter is "devoted to a discussion 'of the
cat and music. Dairymen have. been
quoted as saying that they noticed

that the cows stand more quietly and .

seem more contented When the men

"whistle or sing while milking. It
is said that it also increases.the flow
of milk. Some time ago‘ theremap-
peared an article in the «daily paper
in which‘it was stated that a poul-
tryman claimed egg production
’could be increased by placing a
phonograph in the hen house and
playing it continuously.

I cannot vouch for the truth of
these statements but I do know that
if one sings, whistles and talks in
a pleasant way to pets and the other
dumb animals about the farm that
they- will' obey commands. more
quickly, and have better dispositions
than they will if treated roughly. At
times folks may not feel well but
if they will watch their actions and
speech and be kind-and pleasant be-

fore they realize it they, themselves,

will feel better. And kindness to

man or beast always pays in the end.

Don’t you think so?—UNCLE NED.
OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned—May I have a small
space to give my opinion of improving

 

our page? My opinion is that the ’boys ‘

and girls write about their picnics, trips
and other such things. Of course some
of your prefer to write about your farms
so why not describe them more and tell
more interesting things about them? I
enjoy reading your letters very much, but
don’t you think that if we told more
about the things that interest us most
that we would have more interested read—
ers? Uncle Ned, why don't you give us

some suggestions about Writing interest-'

ing letters? I wrote to our page once
' before from Eulonia, Ga., and promised

to tell about my return trip. If I may ‘

write again I will tell about it. I would
wjoy hearing from some of the cousins.
ith best wishes to Uncle Ned and the
cousins.—Ena Irwin, Bentley, Mich.
-—‘—_

Dear Undle Ned—I have been planning
to write for some time. Now is my
chance. I am fourteen..my birthday i
'September sixteenth and I am a boy. I
will not tell the number of acres in our
farm or how much stock we keep, as I
think it does not interest anyone to know
how many cows or pigs different people
have. I know it doeSn’t me and some-
times I think it sounds like bragging. I
think that if we all write something more
interesting we children would enjoy it
more than we do now. I agree entirely
with Nellie Inman in what she says, also
Edna Weifenbach. We have'had several
class parties this year on ponds and at
house .

In Albert S. Wright’s letter he wrote
that their superintendent says. “The
weather is something everybody is talk—
ing about and nobody knows anything
about", I would like to know what harm
there is for people to talk about a thing
that concerns them. When setting dates
for picnics or trips ‘the Weather plays an
important part. The weather, many
times, determines the mode of travel and

. the wearing apparel in daily work. It is
important in the raising of crops. So,
may I ask again, what harm is there in
speculating ,on what the weather Will be
or has been? I hope, Albert, that you
show this to your superintendent and
answer me. ~ .

I have'two brothers, one of which goes
to school at Kalamazoo and the ,other
stays at home. He went hunting deer
this winter and, as he didn’t kill any,
he bought a sheep and brought it home
instead, We live in the southern part of
the state ‘and he went hunting near
Houton Lake, Which is about two hundred
and twenty-five miles from here. We
had never eaten any deer and he thought
we would be fooled, but a neighbor who
went along told about it. Now we all
tease him. My father broke his wrist
a few days ago and. it is very pdnful.
I- guess I have said enough for one time
so I will stop. Your loving nephew.—

piled. Every moving part is completely and fully . .
oiled. A constant stream of oil flows on every
hearing. The shafts run in oil. The double gears run in
oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. Friction and wear
are practically eliminated. .

Any windmill which does not have the gears running in oil is only
half oiled. A modern windmill, like a modern automobile, must have

- its gears enclosed and run in oil. Dry gears, exposed to dust, wear rapidly.
Dry bearings and dry gears cause friction and loss of power. The Aermotor
pumps in the lightest breeze because it is correctly designed and well
oiled. To get everlasting windmill satisfaction, buy the Aermotor.

LIVINGSTON (CL—First day of
spring found the ground coVered with
snow which fell on Monday. Roads are
again in bad condition; state roads in
places are breaking through, due to so

fine.~—Geo. Coleman, March 24..

MIDLAND—We have had a. rather
cold spell, but it seems to be a. little
warmer now. The roads are in rather

are expected—Carl C. Dertt. March 24.

have decreased more than other
commodities. The farmer is up
against it. He gets low prices for
what he; sells and has td pay rather
high prices for What he has to buy.
Retailers, wholesalers and manufact-
urers say they can’t reduce their
prices further because of the high
costs. -No doubt costs are high.
Wages are high, yet not too high if
we are to‘believe the laborer. There
is no merit in the statement that
prices can not» be reduced because

Is improvement coming? It so,
when? It has been said that ‘when
things get so bad’that they can’t

That seems to be the position we
are now in. Many people are now
making predictions. There is a quite .
common belief that the
year will bring vast‘improvement. It
is very questionableif such optom-
ism is warranted by the facts. Last—
ing improvement cannot return tin-2

back their buying power. The labor-
er can not do this until he is regul-

The Cause ‘of White Diarrhea ,

White Diarrhea is caused by the,
bacillus Bacterium Pullorum trans-
.mitted through the yolk. There is
scarcely a. hatch! without some in—
.fected chicks. The germs can be kill-
ed by the use of preventives. Intest-
inal Antiseptics to kill the germs
should be given as soon as the chicks
are out of the shell. It is much easi-
er to prevent than it is to cure.

 

How to Prevent White Diarrhea

Dear Sir: I have raised poultry for
years and have lost myshare of little
chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally
I learned .of Walker’s Walko Remedy;
for this disease, so sent for two 50c
packages to the Walker Remedy 00.,
Dept. 683, Waterloo, Iowa.” I raised
over 500 chicks and never lost a
single one- from‘ White “Diarrhea.
Walko not only prevents White
Diarrhea, but it gives the chicks
strength and vigor—they develop

How Dairymen

,Can Make More
Money In 1922

RACTICAL men, W1th life-long
experience in dairy farming,
have worked out a system of _ caring
for thé dairy herd that cuts down
the labor cost, increases milk yields,
improves cow health and saves feed.
This system is called the Jamesway.

The Jamesway provides cow cemfort;
and comfortable cows give more milk.

It turns the disagreeable, dirty task of
cleaning the barn into a job a boy enjoys;
for the Jamesway keeps the cows clean.

The heavy labor is taken out of the task
of feeding; and feed wastes are stopped.

Water, the simplest means of increasing
milk yield—is often disregarded by dairy-
.men. Those who realize how greatly the
mill: flow is increased by the Jamesway are
reaping huge profits on their investment.

Jamesway ventilation gets the foul air out of

the barn, brings fresh air in. Helps keep the
cows vigorous and healthy.

In these ways, and others described in the
Jamesway book many dairy farmers are increas-
ing their profits this year.

Why not write us today for your copy? Please
say whether you intend to build or remodel a
dairy barn this year and whether you consider
putting in stalls, stanchions, drinking cups. .
carriers or pens.

The City Farmers’ club of the Detroit
Board of Commerce was entertained on
Friday, March 17 with an after-dinner
address from Prof. W. Mumford,
professor of Animal Husbandry, in the
University of Illinois. Live stock condi-
tions in general were discussed by the‘
professor. Professor Foreman, poultry

afternoon Prof. Foreman conducted a.

The American Shorthorn Breeders’
Association announces that there will be
no change in the Sh rthorn g’et—of-sire
olass1flcation for this year’s fairs and
shows. It was planned to change this
classufication so that ownership would be
required, and, so that the entry would
include two bulls and tWo females bred
and owned by the exhibitor.. As the

, notification of this change did not reach

the association of state fair managers
until after its meeting, it was decided
to continue the classification as formerly,
which permits the get-of—sire class to be
comprised of four animals, any age, either
sex. and with no specification regarding
ownership.

.Livestock shippers received better ser-
Vice from the railroads last year than
ever before, according to the annual re-
port of the transportation department of
the Chicago Livestock exchange. The
number of claim's handled for producers
by this service bureau was one—third
less than in 1920, due largely to improved
service by the carriers. The claims arise
from delays, damage to stock and over-
charges. The report shows 18,000 claims
have been filed and nearly $1,000,000
collected for farmers and agricultural

' organizations since May 1, 1919, when the

department was established. Last year
the average amount collected on each

claim was $67.48.

MILK FLOW DECREASES

We have a cow that freshened for the
second time Feb. 18. The first time she
freshened. she gave a. good quality of
milk but this time she doesn’t give a.
teacupful. She seems to be in fine con-
dition and the calf is all right—C. K.,
Lake Odessa. Mich.

I have Observed cases such as you
have described, although, fortunate—
ly they are very rare and the cause,
so far as I'can discover, is unknown.
In some cases the flow of milk will
increase, especially when animal is
turned out at pascure. In other
cases the animal will not- be much
better until her next calving time,
and I have known them to never
come back to a normal flow.

COW SUFFERING FROM RHEU-
MATISM

We have a cow that was fresh about
six weeks ago, which wasabout -3 weeks
ahead of time. She seemed to be in good .
health and was fat. A week or two be-
fore she was fresh she began to act as
if. she had rheumatism in her hind legs,
after she was fresh she got muchworse.
Her hocks are! swollen some, she can
walk in a-circle with 'her front feet but
when she triesto’ go straight ahead she
can moxie» her hind feet only about}. ‘

have to be recleaned before market-

The reason I use the Ito San Soy

is because they are the best seller
yet and they are a good producer

W;, Breckenridge,

  
 

Mich.

I have never tried turkey eggs in
an incubator, neither do I know or a
person doing it. I seeno good rea-
son why a reliable machine would
not hatch them well. However, tur-
key eggs are so expensive that I
should prefer buying a hen, as good
as I could afiord, it I were going to
start in.

I know of no eggs ”at present. I
shall not sell any. They are worth
a dollar apiece, at least. Two dol-
lars apiece is a. very fair price for
pure-bred stock. I raise pure-bred
birds, and always have sold to east-
ern buyers for holiday trade, and
my hens always bring me in an aver-
age of $50 worth of birds each. A
turkey will lay about 16 eggs, then

‘set. Sometimes as high as 22. I have

had, and it is obvious that one might
better keep the eggs. One might buy
eggs later in the season, for less.
My hens quite often lay late in June
or early in July.——Mrs. C. Elizabeth
McCarty, Kent County; Mich.’

 

DIARRHOEA

My hens have the diarrhoea. They only
live a few days and die. They are fat.
I am feeding corn, oats and barley What
causes this and what is the treatment?———
B R., Ashley, Mich.

I would say that this diarrhea is
merely a symptom of some other ail—
ment. Practically all common poul-
try diseases will show symptoms of
diarrhea and it is hard to accurately
diagnose this trouble from the limit-
ed amount of information given.

I, wish you would forward one of
the birds to the PoultrygDepartment
so that we can make a post mortum
and pretscribe for. it. Evidently
there is something serious, in the
flock, otherwise you would not have
the excessive mortality, indicated in
your letter. It is in all probability
a form of Chicken Pox or intestinal
trouble caused by worms, but we
are not in a position to give defi-
nite information from the limited
description given. —E. C. Foreman,
Associate Professor of Poultry Hus—
bandry, M. A. C.

 

MEAT FOR CHICKENS

Will you please advise how to cure
meat taken from a horse or cow that
has did (not from disease) so it may be
fed to chickens?——Subscriber, Zeeland,
Mich.

The practice of feeding horses and
cows that are not fit for human con-
sumption, to poultry is not widely
adopted. A few poultrymen find this

"very‘ cheap as a source of animal

protein but it is safe only to feed
raw flesh during winter months
when the animal can be. properly
preserved. It is not to be recom-
mended during the spring monthé‘
otherwise, troubles of all kinds are
liable ,to occur. The common plan
is to kill the horse or cow during
cold weather and to preserve it by
freezing—43. C. Foreman, Associate

Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M. '

 

KEEP ROOSTER IN WARlII AND
DRY PLACE

We have a valuable rooster whose feet
and toes are doubled up under and have
been new for four weeks. Have kept him
warm and dry for the last three weeks.
and he is fine and healthy in every other
way. Can you tell us what to do?~——C.
L. Boyne City, Mich.

Flannel clothes soaked in hot
water and gentle massaging will do
more for this condition than any-
thing else. Keep him in warm and
dry quarters. Recovery will be very
slow—Veterinary Editor.

 

FRESHENING SEASON
IMPORTANT

HE TIME of the year that a cow
freshens seems to have consid-
erable to do with the profit she
returns, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. An anal-
ysis of the figures obtained from
many cow—testing associations shows

' that in most sectibns the cows that

freshen in the fall and, early Winter _.

e or or '
111 an Hfibubaxor'
Mich . ,Breckenrldge,

I have never tried turkey eggs in
in incubator, neither do I know (if a
person doing it. I see no good rea-
son why a reliable machine would
not hatch them’ well. However, tur-
key eggs are so expensive that I
should prefer buying a hen, as good
as I could afford, it I were going to
start in.

I know of no eggs at present; I’
shall not sell any, They are worth,

a dollar apiece, at least. Two dol-
lars apiece is a very fair price for
pure-bred stock. I raise pure-bred
birds, and always have sold to east-
ern buyers for holiday trade, and
my hens always bring me in an aver-
age of $50 worth of birds each._ A
turkey will lay about 16 eggs, then

‘set. Sometimes as highas 22. I have

had, and it is obvious that one might
better keep the eggs. One might buy
eggs later in the season, for less.
My hens quite Often lay late in June
or early in July. —-—Mrs. C. Elizabeth
McCarty, Kent County; Mich.’

 

DIARRHOEA

My hens have the diarrhoea. They only
live a few days and die. They are fat.
I am feeding corn, oats and barley. What
causes this and what is the treatment?—-

R., Ashley. Mich.

I would say that this diarrhea is
merely a. symptom of some other ail-
ment. Practically all common poul-
try diseases will show symptoms of
diarrhea and it is hard to accurately
diagnose this trouble from the limit—
ed amount of information given.

I, wish you would forward one of
the birds to the PoultryDepartment
so that we can make a post mortum
and pretscribe for. it. Evidently
there is something serious, in the
flock, otherwise you would not have
the excessive mortality, indicated in
your letter. It is in all probability
a form of Chicken Pox or intestinal
trouble caused by worms, but we
are not in a position to give defi-
nite information from the limited
description given—E. C. Foreman,
Associate Professor of Poultry Hus-
bandry, M. A. C.

 

MEAT FOR CHICKENS

Will you please advise how to cure
meat taken from a horse or cow that
has did (not from disease) so it may be
fed to chickens?—-Subscriber, Zeeland,
Mich.

The practice of feeding horses and
cows that are not fit for human con—
sumption, to poultry is not widely
adopted. A few poultrymen find this

«very cheap as a source of animal

protein but it is safe only to feed
raw flesh during winter months
when the animai c-an be. properly
preserved. It is not to be rec-om-
mended during the spring monthé’
otherwise, troubles of all kinds are
liable to occur. The common plan
is to kill ,the horse or cow during
cold weather and to preserve it by
freezing—E. C. Foreman, Associate
Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M.
A. C.

TKEEP ROOSTER IN WARliI AND

. DRY PLACE

We have a. valuable rooster whose feet
and toes are doubled up under and have
been now for four weeks. Have kept him
warm and dry for the last three weeks.
and he is, fine and healthy in every other
way. Can you tell us what to d0?—‘€.
L., Boyne City, Mich.

Flannel clothes soaked in hot
water and gentle massaging will do
more for this condition than any-
thing else. Keep him in warm and
dry quarters. Recovery will be very
slow—Veterinary Editor.

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
» INANCIAL experts

familiar with trade

thruout the country during the
past year, think that they see. a
marked improvement along many
lines. The jobbing trade, in. dry
goods and other household necessi-
ties, is reported to be much 'more

active as interior meLchants begin to »

fill their empty shelves and show
unmistakable signs of a determina-
tion to once more offer to customers
a full line, from which to make
V‘Selections. The textile situation is
unchanged from last week and
manufacturers are badly at sea as to
thefuture; as time goes on the con—
viction, that wages must come down
in this line of the manufacturing
industry, becomes more and more
'positive. There is a fair prospect
that the textile strike will resolve
itself into a simple matter of en-
durance on the part of the workers
who are idle.

Textile labor is not alone in the
unreasonableness of its demands;
the proper adjustment of the trans—
portation problem is universally
conceded to be the pressir" ‘N '
the hour. There are still many
articles, included in the 11st 0. 1111-
man necessities, that are priced too
high; a proper reduction in the cost
of transportation, from the place of
manufacture to the home of the con-
sumer, would make it possible to
shade retail selling prices to a point
Where the average householder
would feel that he could aflord them.
The average wage, per hour, of rail—
way employes is 120 per cent higher
than it was five years ago; until the
cost of the man—power, that enters
into the average freight charge, can
be reduced, business in certain di-
visions of the trade will continue to
lag. The attitude of'labor, in con-
nection with the building trades in
many of our leading American cities,
is responsible for the lack of acti—
vity in building houses and in .the
demand for materials and acces-
sories which enter into construction
operations.

Present conditions and the future
outlook, in connection with the de—
mand for many basic products, is
very encouraging. The U. S. Steel
Corporation is working along at 71
per cent of normal, plants are start—
ing every day. Spot coke is scarce
and prices are tending toward higher
levels. Steel manufacturers have in-
creased prices on some lines of pro-
duction and there is every reason to
believe that the entire structural

4steel list will be advanced before
long.

Wool is dull and quiet whileboth

manufacturers and growers wait a
better understanding, of the terms of
the new tariff; it is understood that
the tariff on the better grades of
wool, coming into the country, will
‘be about 33 per cent, with practi-
cally nothing on the cheaper grades.
‘That a tariff like the one described
above, will be. very hard to enforce,
rgoes'without saying. For the first
time in many months, the hide mar-
ket begins to Show signs of return-
ing activity; both dealers and manu-
facturers report a better demand for
footwear and predictions of lower
retail prices, whenever the volume
of trade approaches normal, are fre-
quently heard.

Some weakness, in connection
with industrial stock issues, de-
veloped early last week as a, result
of profitvtaking on the part of those
who had made purchases at low
levels; the situation soon cleared,
however, the week closing with all
or the leading issues strong and
tending higher. Call money has been
going, for the most part, at 4 1— 2
per cent. The weekly bank clearings
were $6, 538, 769, 000. ' ' .

Quite a number of my readers have
got themselves all tangled up on my
assurance that the general average of
1922 crops for North America will be
good and that a great drouth will
strike North America within two
years. Those readers failedx to notice
that the assured good crepe are only
for 1922, while the great North Ameriv

can drouth will strike between April
1.1922 and April 1,

My predictions of great and de-
structive drouths in fifteen great
countries within two years of April
1,1922 has caused a profound sensa-
tion and is a Very serious matter any
way you look at it. I have not the
least doubt that every one of those
drouths, in the fifteen countries, will
occur as predicted. , The forecasts

S. Bureau of Market’s estimate of

prices have not dropped to an ex—
tent which the receipt of that news
was «pected -to occasion; This
would seem to point to a general dis-
belief that the Bureau’s figures are
correct. If they are accurate, how:
ever, and prices of potatoes continue
to drop the Bureau is coming in for
some pretty sharp criticism on its

that the next two weeks will tell,

HALLADAY

’ (Continued from page 3)

“The first large task of research
which must be undertaken at the
College is to determine definitely
just what farm products are being
sold in Michigan: where they are
sold and where they come from.
Once we can establish these facts
we will be in a position to assist
the tarmer to make his production
Operations harmonize with the de—
mands of the increased industrial
population. “In this manner Michi-
gan agriculture will be freed to a
large extent from the uncertainty
of the international situation and
the high 06st of transportation. The
individual farmer cannot investigate
his'markets and his needs alonebut
it must be done by some institution
like the M. A. 0., representing some
200,000 farmers of the state and
which can carry on a comprehensive
investigation by trained men.“ The
last two years have shown. that it
is, a mistake to suppose that the
business troubles of the farmer or
anyone else can be driven away by
merely repeating the slogan, ' ‘In
God we trust.’ An intelligent and
practical study of the actual situa-
tion which has grown up in the last
two decades must be the basis for
Michigan agricultural prosperity.

“The horticultural industry of
Michigan otters a problem of special
interest which the College is even
-now preparing to attack with an ex-
tended and rejuvenated organiza—
tion. In'the laSt twenty years the
bearing apple trees of the state have
.decreased from ten million to five,
and the 'peach trees have decreased
from eight million to two. It is one,
of the lines of agriculture in which
we ought to excel], yet the superior
methods. of production and market-
ing on the Pacific coast have enabled
those farmers and growers to in—
vade even Michigan herself. Nothing
must be left undone to extend this

industry until the state once more,

enjoys the position which its oil!
matic advantages entitles it to oc-
cupy. .

“The prosperity of the individual
farmer and the agricultural industry
ot'the state as a whole will depend
upon the rapidity and the intelli—
gence with which the agricultural
production is adjusted to the new
situation which the last two decades
have created in the state."
