Editor Business Farmer. _.._ij - u .. .1 ..,.r-. r . . 5- .Up until yery recently. a large majority of farmers, farm papers and trade papers were ig- norant of the true facts as outlined above. Some farmers, however, were familiar with the figures and are still holding their potatoes on the strength ,of.‘ them. The following letter from A. A. Lambertson, .a valued M. B. F. subscriber liv- ing at Sand Lake, Montcalm county, shows that 1 [some farmers are figuring for themselves.” In your last issue'you say you are going to have something to say about the potato situation in the near future. Why not figure it this way: Normal consumption of northern grown late po- tatoes according to best authorities is 400,000,- delivered at the factories instead of at field re- ceiving stations. an additional 75 cents a ton above the scale will continue to be paid.” THE SUGAR TARIFF ‘UGAR in the product of the farm is given a I protection 9:6 per cent advalorem in the Fordney Tarifl Bill now before congress. Refined sugarls molested equivalent to from 80 per cent to 100 per cent, writes T. 0.. Price, presi— dent of the SaginawCounty Farm .Bureau,. to the Business Farmer. ‘ > Michigan is protected against Canadian sugar. but the Michigan beet grower receives practical— ly no protection against the Canadian sugar beet. Thousands of ‘toas of Canadian beets were .s'hipped‘inro Michigfl to disrupt the Beet Grow- ers of this’state when they tried to obtain a con- ference with the sugar manufacturers. in View of this fact, the best growers are ask- ing it the 60 PH cent in tamifi on Cuban raw is an em» to protect the farmer or the sugar manufacturer.

Season for consuming them H v months, ’Oct. 1st to July 1st. 400,000,000 dimmed 5 by 9 is 44,444,444, the amount used each membh. Multiply 44,444,444 by 4 and you have 177,777,,— 777 bushels needed from March 1st (when the - report was ‘made by the Bureau of Markets) to July 1st, or balance of season. On March 1st ac- cording to Market Bureau report there was _on- hand to be shipped yet by growers and dealers, 48,395,000 bushels. 177,777,777 bushels, the“ . amount required to run us out after March '1-st, ' less 48,495,000 equals 129,382,776 or thenumber of bushels we will be short. Will we get that Iliany spuds from the south up to July 181:? All.” things considered isn’t there a chance of the northern grown spud having its innings at a. far greater price than it has sold for yet this season? _ “P. S.———2Po~tatoes around here are cleaned up the closest they have ever been at this tirmeHOE D ’0‘ year.” Other Facts to Consider If the shipments for March equalled those for January and February there would have been lefit on April 1st only 18,000,00 bushels to be marketed in April, May and June. If the same rate contained for April then theoretically at least old potato stocks would be completely ex» hausted by April 20th. Of course, this did not happen, ‘but the thought suggests to the reader some idea of how shipments may be cut in two and then some and still easily move all remain~ ing stocks before the close of the season. Another fact to consider just now is the pro- duction in other countries. Nearly every year the producer of the United States meets the competition of Canada whenever domestic prices become at all attractive. But Canada will not have so many potatoes to export this year as last. Her 1921 production was only 107 million bushels as compared with "133 million in 1920. The total 1921 crop of the principal producing countries was 3,120,305,000 bushels as compared with 3,466,507,000 in 1920 (L'Slltinued on page .23) Rye . . . . . . . . . . . .1,103,000 Hay . . . . . . . .. 56,552,000 Peanuts .. . . . .1,256,000 Vthat . . . . .. 72,308,000 Flax seed . . . . ..1,572,000 Corn .. . . . 100,072,000 Is it not well for thefarmer w o raises sugar beets to ask in what way their in ' protected by an increase in dut sugar? The contract price paid the farmer for sugar beets this year is $5.00 per ton. The average pro-war price with a tariff of 1 cent was $5.75,, ' which shows clearly that the 60 per cent increase in the itarifi does not percolate down from fac- tory to farm. V- . Many requests come from the beet growers to help them get a difierent contract. 1410'th know how.we are goingto help them unless they all stay by the Growers’ Organization. If every man who grows/beets will pay into the treasury 50 per ton, it will amount to around $50,090 per Now don’t spend this money, but put out at interest and in 4 or 5 years there- vii! be in round numbers one—half million dollars, «which will build a factory and you would not know where the funds came from. -Now this is only a suggestion. Perhaps someone else has; ' If so, let it be brought forward.

I G'costs have been going up for the past {few years'at a very rapid rate‘. It was not after the beginning of 1920 that there was ii’eral recession in prices and this decline left price level well above that of 1913. As prices-g i) and living coats increase it is quite natural everyOne looks for the reason. One reason has been given for this increase in cost g has been the expensive middleman sys- lhrough which our goods and wares are ,_ ed. It has been suggested that the mid- an be eliminated, thereby bringing thel'pro- and consumer closer together. The middle: ,has been called a parasite who does not pro- a but instead merely takes a tell from the M producer. It will be well to examine ,witth— t prejudice just what the middleman does and ezwmether he is useless or not. Can we get 0 ong without him? I In a previous article it was stated that in or—* for a thing to have value it must be such that ill satisfy some want and also be in the right at the time wanted. Production consists in l-k ng goods or services available for use. This _ light be divided into two general parts. (1) «bringing of the goods into existence and aging the form of them. For example, the ing of wheat and the manufacture of it into at and then into bread. (2) The transferring “eygoods to the places where wanted, holding fem until the time. wanted and transferring m, to the person who wants to make use of em. This latter service is marketing. In‘ order to properly market goods there are erbain services which must be performed. These ential market services are as fellows: (1) ~epa‘ration for market (grading and packing). ‘5 {Storing (holding from the time of surplus ’ the time, of scarcity). (3) Transporting ferrimg from the place of surplus to the ace of scarcity). (4) Financing. . (5) Assump- n of risks. (6) Selling.

Those were. the days when we did not have the great middleman system as- it now exists. A change took' place and industry was moved from things which he could grow the best and sold his surplus. He" produced fer a marketand bought the goods he needed. This industrial revolution—as itis calledé—t'ook place because machine production and large scale production made lower costs pos- sible. This change made specialization possible and costs became lowered because of the benefits which specialization brought. Instead of every man being a “jack of all trades” he became a specialist and devoted his labor and capital] to— ward the production of certain things. These industrial changes brought about great increases in the earning~power of the people and enabled them to get more things for their efforts than was possible under the old system. - . . The development of the middleman system is merely one phase of this specialization. Instead of the farmer hauling his [wheat to 'the distant market heInow 'calls in the specialist in trans- portation—~—the railroad—1m perform this service for him. The storage of Wheat in large quanti- ties is done by~the'specia1ist——ithe grain elevator. r The farmer does not grind his Wheat into flour. This service is performed by the specialist—the miller. The farmer does not sell’jth'is produce to the consumer; but rather does he‘tu'rn‘ it over I in selling—the" wholesaler and retailer. As time goes' on specialization is carried on to a further eXtent; At one time the farmer 'sold his milk direct to the consumer.

The Data; to grower does not sell his produce direct to :the- consumer. is a salesman, The farmer, without a doubt, has felt that his time is worth more to him on the _ farm as a grower of produce than at the market place as a salesman.

Such things, however, are notto be taken’as an evidence that the system is neces- sari‘ly bad. If'the public could realize that mar- .keting consists in per-forniing certain necessary services and thatthe'm‘ark‘et‘ chain 'is not short- ened by the elimination of. a ‘fman” in» then-pro: cess then it would be starting on the ,way‘td' an understanding of the problem. When'an under; standing is acquired of "the basic principles, :of any problem‘ then a solution is possible. 'I The middleman performs certain services whichare necessary if we are to~havevthe goods we'want in the place we want them and at the'time we want them. If the middlemen—the local coun- try buyers, railroads, wholesalers, jobbers and retailers—are performing services-Which are es- sential'to the marketing of products then they are really producers.“ I . , It is not to be assumed from the above that the present systemi‘ofhandlinggoo'ds is perfect and that nothing can be accomplished to improve conditions.

F. wrong in their respective replies: “It is unlawful for any person to cut, injure or? destroy-any tree or shrub grow— ing within the limit of the public high- way Without having obtained the con- sent and approval of the Highway Com- missioner of the townsl'n’p previded the tree is growing in a to nship highway,. if it be in a county road, then the owner of the tree must have obtained the con- sent and approval of the Boardvof‘County ' Road Commissioners, and if e tree. is in ' a trunk line or federal aided road, then the permission of the State Highway Commissioner must be obtained.

The thinner the tar, ’the better. Crows rarely pull more than a few kernels Of the tarred corn." . Shooting the crows is also partial— 1y effective as it scares them from the field and if the trouble is due to the fact that they are nesting in a piece of timber close by, shooting. 'in the timber might be effective in persuading them to change their nesting place to some more distant lopation. Crows usually .do most of their damage during the morning and are not apt to come around when one is working in the field, especially after they have been shot at. The combination of these two‘ . methods may be fairly useful in driving the crows from your vicinity but they are very hard to control if they are present in the commu- nity in very large numbers.———J.

K R., Bay Port, Mich. When timothy is sOWn during the early spring on land of medium to high fertility, a hay crop is some- times secured the first season. If you are short of hay, it is not ad- visable to depend upon this practice, but you should rather sow some an- nual crop that may be depended up- on to produce hay the first season. Sudan grass is sown about the middle of May at the rate of from 20 to 25 pounds ofseed per acre, 'on a we‘ll—prepared corn soil. It usually produces a high tonnage of forage. In the northern part of the state, a mixture of oats and peas sown at the rate of from 2 to 2 1—2 ‘bush- els per acre is quite satisfactory.

'llhere is no sure remedy for grabs in the head of sheep. Careful and liberal feeding will place the sheep in condition to throw all“ the grabs without causing any serious lniury.

The first re- quisiteis abundance of shade where the flies which deposit the eggs on the noses of the sheep in the sum— mer will not bother the flock. The best place for thence]: to get away, from the files is a dark, basement barnwhei‘e the sheep can lay during the day when the files are on the Wing.

For a week the sun shone without a cloud in the sky. The air was warm.' The snow turned soft underfoot and ' on the sunny sides of slopes and ridges it melted away into trickling streams or’rolled down in .“slides” that were minia- ture avalanches. The world was vibrant with a new thrill. It pulsed with the growing cart-beat of spring, and in Mints? soul there arose slowly a new hope, a. new im- pression a new inspiration that was the thrilling urge of a woiiderful in— stinct. Neewa‘ would be waking now! It came to him at last like a voice which he could understand. The trickling music 'of. the growing streams sang it to him; he heard it‘ in .the warm winds that were no lenger filled with the blast of wint— er; he caught it in the new odors that were rising out of the earth; he smelled it in the dank, sweet perfume of the black “woods—soil. The thing thrilled him. It called him. And he knew! Neewa would be Waking now! He responded to the call. It was in the nature of things that no pow- er less than physical force could hold him back. And yet he ‘did not travel ashe had travelled from Chal- loner’s camp to the cabin of Na— nette and the baby. There had been a definite “ob‘jeCt there, something. to achieve, something-to spur him on to an immediate fulfilment. Now. the thing that drew him, at fleet, was an overpowering impulse, not a reality. For tWo or threedays his trail westward was wandering and indefinite. Then it straightened out, and early in the morning of the fifth day he came from a deep forest into a plain, and across that plain he saw the‘idge. For a long time he gazed over the level space before he went on. - In his brain the pictures of Neewa. were becoming clearer and clearer. After all, it‘ seemed only yesterday or the day before that he had gone away from that ridge. Then it was smothered in snow, and a gray, ter- rible gloom had settled upon the earth. Now there was but little snow, and the sun was shining, and the sky was blue again. He Went on, and sniffed along the‘foot of the ridge; he had not forgotten the way. He~ was not excited, because time had ceased to have definite im- port for him. Yesterday he had ceme down from that ridge, and to- day he was going back. He went straight to the mouth of Neewa’s . den, which was uncovered now, and thrust in his head and shpulders, and sniffed. Ah! but’that lazy ras— cal of a bear was a sleepyhead! He - was still sleeping. ,' Miki could smell him. Listening hard, he could, hear him. ' He climbed over the low drift of snow that had packed itself in" the neck of the, cavern and “entered confidently into the » darkness. I “He heard a'sott, sleepy grunt and a great sigh. He 'almost stumbled over Neewa,, who ,had changed his bed. Again Neewa grunted, and Miki whined. He ran his muzzle in- to Neewa’s fresh,'new coat of spring fur and smelled his way to NeQWa’s ear. After all, it was" only yester— And he remembered every- and then he barked "in. that? _ l'ow, inseam seems . ‘ _ And 'NeéWa, stretching; himself, gave a great yawn. V CHAPTER TWENTYLli‘OllR 1-“. ESHABA, the old Cree, men the sunny side of a: rock-vonéthe sunny side of a slope {that looked up and down the‘ivall-ey'. Mes- haba—who ‘ many, ' many years ago, 'had been called The Giant ——*~was very old. He Was so old that even‘ the Factor’s books over at'Fort-O’ God had no’ record of his birth: nor the “post logs” at Albany-'Hbuse,-ror Cumberland House, or- ' Norway House, or Fort Churchill. Perhaps farther north, at Lac. La Biehe, at Old Fort Resolution, or: IatrFortxMc- Pherson some 'trace of .him- might have been found. His skin wascrin- kled and weather-worn, like .dry buckskin, and over his brown,.thin face his hair fell to his shoulders, snow-white. His hands were thin, even his nose was thin with the thinness of age. But his eyes were still like dark garnets, and down through the great part of a century their vision had come undimmed. They roved over the valley now. At Meshaba’s back, a mile; on the other side of the ridge, was the old . trapper-’3 cabin, where he lived alone. The winter had been long and cold, and in his‘gladness at the com- ing of spring Meshaba had come up the ridge to bask in the sun and look out over the changing ,world. For an hour his eyes hadtravelled up and down the valley like, theileyes of an old and wary‘haWk. , The dark , spruce and cedar forest. edged in,,the far side of the valley: between,.tehat, and the ridge rolled; the. meadowy praméwn cdvered- with... melting snow in places. andfin others. bare ahd'glo’wmgua' dull green in the sun-,, light” Fer “where he, sat Meshaba could also. see a rocky/scarp. otf,‘,the ridge that projected j out, ' into; the plain a hundred yardsllaway, But this did notinterest him, except that if it had netlbee'n in ligament vision' he, could] have seen aflniue. farther down the ,valley.",f_[.l .. In that hour of ' Siphnix‘filike WatCh- ing, while“ the smoke curled slowly up fi‘bm his black pipe, Meshaba had seen life. 1 Half” a mile from where ‘he was sitting a ‘band of caribou had come out of the timber and. wandered into a less distant patch of low bush. They had not thrilled his old blood with a desire to kill, for there was already a fresh'car- cass hung up at the back of his cabin. Still farther away he had seen a hornless moose, so protesque in its'spring upliness that the par- chment-like skin of his face had cracked for half an instant in a smile,‘ and out of him had come a low and appreciative grunt; for Meshaba, in spite of his age, still had a sense of humor left. Once he had seen a wolf, and twice a fox, and nowhis eyes were on an eagle over his head, Meshaba would"th have shot that eagle, for year after year it had .come down through time .. with him, and it was aIWays there soaring in the sun when spring came So Meshaba grunted as he watched it, and was glad that Upisk had not died during the winter. “Kata y ati sisew,” he, whispered to himself, a glow of superstition in ‘his fiery eyes. ‘We have lived long together,.and it is fated that we die "together, Oh Upisk. The spring has come for us many times, and soon the black-winter will Swall‘owus up forever.” ‘ ‘ 3 , His eyes'shifted slowly, a‘nd'then 1 they rested on the .scarp of the ridge that shut out—his vision.

His rifle stood just out of reach on the other side of the rock. At the other end of that eighty or- ninety yards Neewa and Miki stoodablinking in the bright sunlight, with the mouth of the cavern in which Neewa had slept so many months just behind them. Miki was puzzled. Again it seemed. to him that it was only yesterday, and not months ago that he had left Neewa in that den, sleeping his'lazy head 01!. And now.that he had returned to him after his own hard winter in the forests he was astonished to find Neewa so big. For Neewa had grown steadily -through his four months’ nap and he was half again as big ’as when he went to sleep. CouldsMiki have spoken Cree, and had Meshaba given him the oppor- tunity, he'might have explained the situation. ' 1 ' - ' " "'fYou see, Mr. India'n”-—;he might have‘said—f‘this dub'of a bear and I‘ have been' pals from .just about the time we were born. ’ A .man named Challoner tied~ us ‘ together first when Neewa, there,. was just about as big as your head, and we did a lot of scrapping before we got properly acquainted. Then we got lost, and after that we hitched up like brothers} and we had a lot of ’un and excitement all through last ' summer, until at last, When the cold weather came, NeeyVa hunted up this hole in the ground and the lazy c’uss went to sleep for all winter, I won’t mention what happened to me 'during the winter. It was a-plenty. ’So. this spring I had a hunch it was about time for Neewa to get the cob- webs out of his i’ool head, and come back. :‘And—here we "are! [But tell me this: What makes Neewa so big?” It was at least that thoughtwthe bigness of Neév'va—that was filling Miki’s head at the present moment. And Meshaba, in~ place of listening to an explanation, was reaching for his rifle—while NeeWa, with his brown muzzle sniffing the wind, was gathering in a strange smell. Of the three, Neewa saw nothing to . be wondered at in the situation itself. When he had gone to sleep four and a ,half months ago Miki was at his side; and. today, when he awoké, iki was still at' his side. The four . and a half months meant nothing to him. Many times he and ‘Miki had gone 'to sleep, and had awakened together. For all the knowledge he had of timeit might have been only last night that'he had fallen asleep. The one ‘ithing that .made Neewa uneasy‘ now was that strange odor he, had caughtin the air. Instinc- tively he seized upon it as a menace ,—at least as something that he would rather not smell than smell. So; he turned away with‘a warning woof to .Miki. 'When ‘ Meshaba" peered around. the edge ofjthe rock,» expeCting ' an easy .,shot,~.,he caught. only a flash. of the. two as they: were ' d quick-1y. .‘- *1 f ‘3 .. .

A STATEMENT FROM THE PUBLISHER ' Playin’ square and stickin’ to principles isn’t always easy! that are featherin’-their-ncsts at the expense of the community. And woe bctide him that does not play the game as THEY want it playcdi Now, The Business Farmer, may be as full of faults as a porcupine is of quills, but we have never been accused of “laying—down” or “bei11" afraid to speak out in meetin,” it came to fighting the just battles of the farm- ers of Michigan, our home state. - So, when we began receiving letters a month or so ago from good farmer friends of The Business Farmer, asking if We had “sold out,” ' ~ we gave them little notice. They persisted, however, so that we began to wonder if some one was trying to throw out a smoke-screen, behind which he and his gang could hide dur- ing the coming elections. - So perhaps it is best to reiterate this state- ment and I hope every good friend and reader will pass it “along: ~ . The Michigan Business Farm. is OWNED, EDITED AND PUBLISHED IN MICHIGAN and by men born and bred in this state, with no inth in other states. It will continue to serve the farmers and the farming business in Michigan wholly and solely so long as we ‘ own and control it and if we over "~‘sell out” to anyone, a full statement of the I fact Will be published in thesis columns. ‘ f During the present period of readjustment ' ‘ in both mechanical and other departments, we are issuing every other week, but every issue missed will be credited to every subscriber on our list and their subscription extended ac- cordingly. o It is our intention to resume regular weekly . publication dates, just as soon as conditions . will permit and in the meantime to continue ‘ to give you, to the best of our ability, 3. real, fair and square, but not afraid, farm paper.

If it is impossible to comprehend how these sound waves trav- erse Space and are caught" up by bare wires lying unobstructed in their path, What shall in orders enjoy its you say when you are advised to hide your - wires behind boards and rafters and shingles? But there comes altime in the life' of every amateur radio fan when he ceases to ask ques- tions about the marvels of radio and automa- tically obeys every suggestidn made by his friends. Nothing is any longer impossible. So in the attic went my aerial and downvthrough the corner of a register to a water pipe in the basement went my ground. Consult Mr. Fer— ris before you put your aerlal indoors. It is better outside.) ‘ I hooked it up Saturday evening, April 1st. With what feverish haste and ex ..tan.cy did I “listen in” for WWJ, the figrofi News station symbol. All I got Was a hum." ' I ad- justed the detector and the tuners. More him. I adjusted them again and got some more hum, but the only human voices that came to my ears Were those‘of the children who stood around on tip-toe, with mouths open waiting to hear the concert. To make a long story short I 'spont all Saturday evening, Sunday afternoon and evening, Monday and Tuesday evenings tinkering with the wiring and the adjustments and shouting to ‘the children to keep still. I despaired. Was wireless after all a magician ’s talc? Wednesday eVenln I hope- lesst put on the head—set and wit out any enthusiasm manipulated the tuners. Suddenly my heart stood still, a thrill that comes once in a life-time leaped through my veins, for there clear as a. bell came, “WWJ, Detroit News Radio Station.” Radio concerts are now the order of the evening at our house. . Tho Function of C(mgreill - “T HE function of‘Congress,” says Percy H. Johnston. president of tho Gimmical National Bank of of?

In the days of Pharaoh, Caesar, Napoleon and even to the times. of Czar Nicholas and Kaiser the people should have any right to say how they should be gova'nod was a most prepos- terous assmnptiou.

' ' Dear Uncle Ned—I just read your let- ter and thought I would write and tell you I agree with you about a dog try- ing to imitate music. I wonder if you or any. of the cousins have ever read “Michael” or “Jerry’ books by Jack Lon- don? They are about Irish terriers that sang. I have wondered what made the dogs sing when the piano is played or they hear .music. I have reached the conclusion myself that they are trying to imitate the music—Myrtle Bearss. Owen- dale, Mich. - . __‘__ Dear Uncle Ned—I have been reading. the Children’s Hour for years. I have been thinking of writing for a long time. I am-fifteen years Old, my birthday is the. fourth' of May. I lfve on the' farm. I liked Nellie Inman's letter. I agree with Wyanda Sanborn, for I do notcare about knowing all about the number of pigs and chickens. I have not attended school for over a year and a half and can say I am not nearly so contented and care- free as when I went to school every day. The weather is awful. It has been rain- ing for two days. The trees are loaded with ice. Why couldn’t we have some sort of a one tell their own opinion. We Could use life on the farm or city life as a topic. I think it would make it more interesting. It doesn’t seem to me people in the city are as healthy as those in the country. Of course I may be wrong. But I. just wanted to start some— thing. I am your niece—Mildred Chase. Stockbridge. Mich.. R. 3,’ Box 59, care H. J. Chase. Your suggestion is very good and there are many very interesting sub- jects we might discuss. A few are: What bird is most helpful to the farmer and why? Who is your favo- rite author and why? What pro- fession you intend to take up when you finish school and why?- ' Dear Uncle Ned—I will be glad when all the birds get here. Some are here .now. We have a large vine by..the perch and every summer the birds‘ uiid "nests in- it. Last spring two robins built anest there and hatched four little robins. When the little birds became strong enough to fly they flew ‘away. About two weeks after that two humming birds came and built another nest there. The two'nests are there yet. I"‘g0 tO’a country school and have. three-quarters of a mile to go. Iaam in the seventh grade but am taking up all eighth grade work. I am 12 years I oi'd. Your loving nieces—Alice W. Wellington, Mayvilie, Mich. . , . Dear Uncle Ned—I came from Idaho about five years ago. We certainly had a nice trip. We came on the Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad from St. Maries, Idaho, to’ Chicago. The trains are run by electric motors over the Rocky moun- tains. We saw beautiful scenery when traveling over the mountains. ‘ ' We left COeur D’ Alene, Idaho. on Mon- day noon and arrived here Friday after- noon. We would have gotten here Friday morning but some box cars tipped over this side of Grand Rapids and we had to go around by the way of Grand Ledge to get to Edmore. then our train was gone so we had to telephone to our folks to have them come and get us and so we ended our journey in a little old Ford. I like Michigan better than Idaho. With love to Uncle Ned and all the cousins. —Doris Wernette, Remus, Mich. - Dear Uncle Ned—I am a girl 17 years old. I live on a ZOO-acre farm. We have just 84 chickens. We are not‘ going to raise chickens this yearNI am going to make a garden this year. I have never made one before, nor even help take care of one. I will make a frame and cover it with fencing.«Later I will write and let you.and the boys and girls know" how I am getting along—Irene Horton, Fowlervilie.

It may be Well to give here just a tow words on the production of these radio waves or impulses. It has been found that every time an electric circuit is broken that slight impulses are sent out, and with the proper instruments these breaks can be heard in telephone receivers. Some transmitting sets use the impulses, others use a vacuum tube( which has certain Working parts inside of it) andalso an electric arc is used (this are is something like the arc lights used in cities). Each method - has it’s advocates, but at the pres- ent time thervacuum tube-sand the are is used for radio telephOne. the tube having the preference. To receive these electric impulses, or. waves, we /must have some method of intercepting them“ or catching them, leading them to our instruments and then detect them, then tune them andthen lead'them to some instrument that will enable us to hear them, this latter is usu- ally done with a set of telephone receivers. It sounds complicated but it is not, and for those of you who ' are within 25 miles of Detroit, yes and even farther should be able to hear the Detroit News concerts with- out trouble with the simplest rev calving set. The first set we will describe will be 8. “Crystal” set. We will first take up the catching of these, waves, and those of you who are interested can .start right in to make the parts as I describe them, tho you will not want to put thisfirst. part up. till you have the rest of the set'made, you can have This first part is the AERIAL, and it catches the waves. In connection with the aerial you will need a good' “ground” as it is called, and that is a good electrical connection to the earth. The “ground” will be described later, ‘ ' The diagram shown here gives you ; an idea. of where to- put up your aerial, and gives some measure- ments. These measurements may vary. but the general length given (150 feet over all length) should be closely followed‘within a few feet either way. . . The aerial “consists of 2 wires sus- pended in the air, from which one wire will lead in to your house then thru Your instruments and then to the ground. The serial should be suspended with rope (clothes line will do) and pulleys so that you can let it down and put it up easily. It should not be placed close to trees, but it one end is fastened to a tree, then the end of the aerial should be (at least 10 feet from the nearest branches. Besides a law nails. screws, rope and small pulleys, which can be found on every'farm, it will ,be“ necessary to/ get, the. following arti— cles.

On top or your house or *proicctv ring from the roof tastfin a pole, to one "end of which you ‘ ave fastened ' a small pulley thru which you have run a piece of rope 50 or more feet long. We will assume that the top of this pole is 40 feet from the ground, and that one end of your aerial will be fastened to it. Now about 100 feet from this pole fasten another pulley and rope at about be same height from the ground. This tar and can be fastened to 'a building, windmill tower, pole or tree. ‘ ' ' Look at Fig. 1, and fasten 5 por- , celean knobs. to each bamboo rod. Two of these limbs are for the ‘ aerial wines. two for the guy wires, and one for the suspending rope, as fastened to each rod. After you have these fastened on, take the bamboo rods (they are called "snreeders") and tasteu them to two trees about so that the spreads“ are about, 3 feet on the ground. Now take you copper wire and taster: it to the Spreaders by tying it thru the knobs, so that you have 2 parallel wires ». that are f stretched evenly. - ’ ' Take the remaining 100 test of wire, fold it in the middle and twist it into one wire 50 feet long." This can be done by fastening one‘énd 'to ' - a tree and theother end—to a breast drill‘or brace and bit, and twisting it up, till it will hold its twist. Fasten toktfhe end of the aerial that will fasten to the pole on your house. Solder the joints.

The, dewb’erry propogates ‘ from the tips, 80 there is not a drop of“ suckers to be cut ott, as in the case of high-bush blackberries. After the" first year the vines are tied to wires stretched along the row, about three feet above the ground and fastened to posts or stakes, set close enough to keep the Wires in place. Such wires as is used for a grape trillis is advised, as the vines of the dewberry make a heavy load. . After the vines have born a crop ' they are cut Out. This may be done in the fall but is usually left ’till spring for the sake'ot the protection the old vines afford to growth. In the ‘spring the vines which grew during the previous summer are tied .to the trellis. If too long they are cut back. This is about all the pruning required, as the young run on the ground during the summer, merely being trimmed along the rows to keep them out of the way of the cultivator and the berry pickers. For garden culture the plants are tied to assume, one for each hill. They can then be planted four feet apart each way. 'The Same plan is sometimes folloWed in field culture and is to be adviSed where the land area is limited. ’ 0 When new plants are wanted the tips of the new vines are buried in the fall after they have stopped grewin'g. They can- also be propo- gated by root cuttings, but growing from the tips is the easier way. The tips take root as easily as black-cap raspberries. I As has been stated,» the Lucretia is the variety grown in the north for market. The' variety first came in- to general notice in 1886. The fruit is large, 01! good quality and ready for market several days ahead of the high-bush blackberry. The vine has proved hardy, productive and capable of thriving on a sandy soil. This cembination of virtures has en- abled it to secure a place of its own among fruit growers.

Mr. Butler is developing an. elaboratebreed- south of Sandusky, and the writer has been assured by the manager: of vth'e-horse department, that the stud ,will be well represented next fall at ' Detroit. The ,wonderful Laet carries his 2,500 pounds as light as a feather; he combines the refinement of 8. Morgan with the heavy- lifting abilities of a Shire. The beautiful, snow-white mare, La Belle, now in her nineteenth year, has just given birth to a. fllly of which Laet is-tlie sire. Lia. Belle’s normal weight is a ton and. despite the- fact that she \will soon be 20 years old, the average observer would not estimate .her age at more than eight years; for years‘ at Columbus and other leading Ohio fairs, this wonderful animal has won first priZe as a. model brood mare. - ——L—_. Work on the foundation for the colli- seum, to be built on the Michigan State Fair grounds, at Detroit, is well forward and no valid reason can be aséig‘ned why the building should not be completed at, of the fair. The outside dimensions of t is won- derful amitheatre'are- 275x375 feet. The construction will be of steel. encased in concrete and the entire roof will be of tile. The drainage. plumbing and elec- tric lighting systems will be strictly mod- ern and the furnishings, the best that money will buy. The construction will be absolutely fireproof. ' Manager F. A. Clark of Currie Farms, Farwell, Mich., reports the sale of the Shorthorn bull Diamond Star and 2 heif- ers to Byron Hudson, who is founding a. herd at Rosebush, Mich. Mr. Clark adds: “Inquiries and sales are increasing; Michigan farmers are looking forward to 'a. better " year.” The American Shorthorn Breeders’ As- sociation anno-unces'that hereafter the ,transferfe‘e will be [increased to $1. The period of time after a sale in. which a transfer may be made without penalty ~ also has been reduced from 6 to 3 months. These changes were voted by the board - of directors of the association at the an- nual meeting on Dec. 28. It is announced that the increased revenue brought in by the new transfer fee will be used to aid state and district breeders’ associations- to employ managers or secretaries. Who will devote their time to the management of sales. and to other means of helping bring buyers and sellers together. The recording fee for calves under 12 months was reduced on Jan. 15 from $2.50 to $2. The American Poland-China Record Association reports that the Ohio asso- cinfion is raisins: funds with which to erect a monument onpthe farm .in War— ren county where the first Poland-China. pedigree was written in about .1875. It was writtenin the home of W. C. Han— kinson, near Blue Ball. The Hankinson- estate still owns the farm, and has of-~ fered a plot of land ‘on which the Ohio association will erect-the monument. A litter of 4 pigs exhibited at four fairs last year, including the Natibnal' Swine Show, won Shelby M. Divan, a. pig club boy at Browntown, Wis. a. total of $704 and a. gold watch, according to the American Poland—China.

Farms near Orion, Michigan whose, ' world famous Aberdeen Angus Sire, Edgar of Daimeny has gained for him.- a. nation wide reputation as an Angus breeder, as entered another field of en- deavor. I Mr. Scripps recently purchased from Bros, of Wooster. Ohio, “George Henry” the Grand Champion Belgian Stallion at the International Ex- position in Chicago in 1921, and also 12‘ pure bred Belgian mares. It is Mr. Scripps intention to enter the Belgian horse field with the eam‘e~ spirit of enthusiasm and .with the same.- ideals as he entered the Angus cattle business some years ago. Mr. Scripps has made rapid strides in building up- a blue-ribbon herd of Angus cattle which. have been predominating factors in state and international expositions and which have done much to build up the Angus. herds of Michigan. It is with.this same thought that Mr. Scripps has brought to Michigan the best horses obtainable. GOT ANY STUMPS T0 PULL?

"There will always be a surplus of eggs, and low prices in the spring and late winter.

Of Course there 'is as usual, of late, .a lack of uniformity in- trade developments, tradesmen in districts coming strong with their orders for spring __goods while others are still inclined to be conservative, ordering only enough goods to take the place ‘of articles recently sold. Some business lines are feeling the depression which naturally follows the calling of a countryawide coal strike. The demand for many lines of basic materials, used for manufac- turing purposes, is increasing by leaps and bounds; this statement applies to iron ore, coal, lumber and all other building material. Those who have been looking for lower prices for high~ggrade lumber are surely doomed to disappointment; the key to the situation is the ex— tremely active export demand for all of the better grades of lumber. The foreign builder is l-ooking'for high- .grade lumber and experience has - taught the American builder that the best is the cheapest in the longr run when applied to the lumber problem; the competitive demand for all of the better grades of lum— ber is the under current that is causing quotations to firm up all along the line.

Country dealers in farm supplies are said to be suffering more this spring than for many years because of the ultra couservative attitude of the average American farmer: the volume of sales is not large enough to yield an adequate income when the emetremely narrow mar “ins, up— on which business is no»? done,“is taken into consideration. in con-‘- nection with current failures in business a mixed situation exists; Failures in March reported to Brad- street’s number 2,307 with liabili- ties totaling $537,516,590, Wing with 1,500 failures with indebted- ness of $68,698,350 in March, 1921. , one oftheseReasonsWts be in a class half“ past 40 years.

The Detroit market has been dull. Offerings have been small and buying, both domestic and foreign, of a, slow nature. At Chicago there has been a firm tone to the grain the major part of the time. It is said that this has been due to, the influence of wheat and to lack of selling pressure rather than to active purchasing. Buying at this point has been light, domestic demand be- ing very dull and exporters pram» cally ignoring the market.» Corn consuming industries are} cuddling their production owing to , the poor demand for their products.

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 my share of little chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally I learned of Walker’s Walko Remedy for this disease, so sent for two 500 packages to the Walker Remedy,Co., Dept. 686, Waterloo Iowa. I raised over 500 chicks and never lost a single one from White Diarrhea.
