WOOL PRICES'BIGEER
IRST wool sold out of the Michi-
gan State Farm Bureau’s 192!
wool pool on May 18 shows a
far diiferent situation then has con-
Ironted the last two wool pools said
the Farm Bureau, stating that on
that 'date Michigan 8-: clothing wool
brought 87 cents. 1-4 clothing wool
.85 cents and rejections 89 cents, f.
o. b. the Lansing warehouse. One
year ago the beat Michigan delaines
were quoted at 30 cents, 3:8 clothing

at 19 cents, 1—4 clothing at 19.4
cents and rejections at 16 cents.

‘ The world wool market is strong
and getting stronger, according to
advices to the bureau. A high emer-
gency tariff on wool is giving addi-
tional strength to the American
wool market in face of what appears
to be a world scarcity of wool fol-
lowing the great slump of 1920 and
the general reductions made 'in
flocks. Today. mills are reported re-
sisting the market increase to the
last ditch, but they can do'naught
but follow it.

The bureau on May 18 was dis-
patching cash and checks in final
settlement of its 1921 pool at the
‘rate of 500 payments daily. Most of
the settlements are being made in
cash through the same local banks
which gave the wool poolers their
pooling cash advance during the
grading campaign of 1921. On May
20 final settlements had been sent
the following pooling points and the
county Farm Bureaus notified to
that effect: Hillsdale, Goldwater, Al-
bion, Clarksville, Marshall, Ionia.
Union City, Battle Creek, Portland,
Bronson, Climax,. Pewamo, Colon,
Schoolcraft, Fowler, Centerville,

FARM BUREAU TAKES RATE
STAND

HE State Farm Bureau has re-
tained as its represel ive to
State and Federal railroad com-
missions and to the railroads them-
selves Mr. E. L. Ewing, prominent
Michigan trafic attorney of Grand
Rapids who directed the Michigan
Traflic League's recent rate reduc-
tion case before the above commis-
sions at Lansing, says an announce-
ment from the State Farm Bureau.

The Bureau intervened in the case
in behalf of Michigan agriculture
and assisted in the presentation of
what is said to be one of the most
complete cases, over presented at a
Michigan rate hearing in behalf of
Michigan agriculture. Forty farmer
witnesses from nearly as many coun-
ties gave what was declared to be
most convincing testimony that
Michigan freight rates, are so high
that they are discriminatory upon
the state's farmer shippers and that
the step—ladder system of zone rates
aggravates this matter as one goes
north in the state.

_Recently, upon reviewing the pro-
gress made in the Traffic League
case, a committee from the State
Farm Bureau board of directors de-
cided that hereafter the bureau
would take an increasingly active
interest in Michigan traffic affairs as
they relate to agriculture and re-
tained Mr. Ewing as the bureau’s
representative in such affairs.

sumous SHORTAGE IN srnnve
LAMBS

f MATERIAL shortage in spring

lambs is indicated in‘advic’es re-
ceived by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture from the
Western sheep country. Figures are
not available, but trained observers
say that the total lamb production in
Montana, Wyoming, Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Nevada is only
70 per cent of a normal crop. _‘
This also 'means a smaller supply"

of wool.‘;Contracting of both wool
and lambs has reached large di- ’

mensions during recent weeks. Num-
erous large western operators are
reported to be scouring the west for
new crop lambs and many sales at
9 to 10 cents a pound are reported,
with the latter price being generally
refused in Idaho, Washington and
Oregon; The price last year was 5 to
7' cents. Fleeces on sheeps' backs
are selling as high as 35 to 38 cents
a pound, with some clips including
the'Jericho pool clip selling up to
40 cents.

The situation is attributed to a
shortage of ewes, the ‘over age ofy
many breeding flocks, and losses 01'
early spring lambs on account of
cold weather and the backward
spring season. A winter lamb and
sheep market higher than the trade
anticipated, a shortage in the visible
supply, and the recent sharp upturn
in wool values have created bullish
sentiment in the markets

 

EUROPEAN WINTER .\ WHEAT
CROP IN GOOD CONDITION
HE condition of the winter wheat

crop is generally fair in West-
ern Europe and good in Central
Europe, according to advices re-
ceived by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Warmer weath-

. or is needed to aid growth in France

and Great Britain. The area. sown
in Italy is 288,000 acres less than
last year but 510,000.11ch more
than the last 5~year average. The
crop is up to the average in Egypt
but rain is needed in Maurie. Tunis
and Morocco. Very little winter-
knling is reported in Canada.

The first estimate of wheat pro-

duction in British India is 865,235w 

000 bushels which is 140.4 per cent
of the corresponding estimate for
1921, and also above their-yep
average (final estimates) which was
346,737,000bushels. It is expected
that the Argentine production will
exceed the original metal estimate
of 154,878,000 bushels. Recent-re-
ports indicate that production in
Australia will probably not equal
the early official estimate of 184.-
184.,000 bushels.

FARM BUREAU SHOWS INFLU-
ENCE OF WOOL POOLS
HECKS in final settlement of the
Michigan' State Farm [Bureau’s
1921 wobl pool on May 6 be—
gan going out to the 10,012 wool
growers who are members of the
pool. The pool marketed co-‘opera-

tively on a graded basis 2,858,000,

pounds of wool at an average gross
price for all grades of 23,949 cents
a pound, which netted the grower
an average of 19.94 cents a pound
for all grades. Delaines sold at 31.7
'cents as an average for the entire
pooling period and discounts sold at
17.8 cents with the other grades at
intervening prices.
pool’e marketing cost was 4.009
cents a pound. The average local
price paid at cheering time in 1921
was 18.25 cents. according to the
U. 8. Bureau of Crop Estimates at
Musing. said the Penn Bureau. No
radical change occurred in the 1921
wool market from shearing. time
until late fall, the bureau said. Ac-
cordingly Michigan weolpoolers are
figuring that the grading operations
of the 1981 pool were worth an aver-
age of 1.09 cents a pound to them
on all grades. The increased return
to growers amounting to about $48,-
000 on the 2, 858,000 lbs. pooled.
Michigan stood second in 1921 in
the number or wool poolers. Ohio

with 18,000 poolers and a 5.798.— ‘

000 pound pool had practically the
same handling cost as the Michi-
gan pool. according to the bureau.

VALUE, 0? LAST SEASON’S
mm CROP LOWER ~‘
HE total value of fruit and fruit
products on farms in 19.21 was
$525,000,000, according to esti-
mates made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture This is a.
drop from $744,000,000 in 1920 and
from "55.000.000 in 1919. The de—
cline in 1981 is attributed to reduced
production as a result of killing
frosts early in the season and to
lower prices of apples, peaches and
other orchard fruits. Cheaper raisins
was also an important factor.
Production of apples in 1921 was
only 90,881,000 bushels as compared
with 888.077.000 bushels in 19.20.
Peaches dropped from 45,620,000
bushels in .1980- to' 38,793,000 bush-
els in .1981. Peers dropped from

We are'extrem'ely modest, otherwise we would
admit that we have the best in the state," and
Mr. Knopl! assures us that he will arrange for
'a county tournament in connection with the
County Farm Bureau picnic.

Mr. McMurtry of Midland writes:

"I certainly'sppreciate your interest in this whole-
some sport and shall do whatever is possible to oglar-
‘ e the game in Midland county. You please tel uds

Mr Roland of Calhoun is equally enthusiastiio
and writes: ‘ ‘ '

“Thanks ,for your good letter of May 4th. A little

something like a horseshoe thrown in with the things.

a county agent has thrown at him each day seems like
being hit with a large feather pillow. It’s delightful.
I think your idea of a horseshoe pitching tournament
is just fine. It certainly. appeals to me and I will be’
glad to co-oper'ate with you in making the thing a suc-
cess. We will have a big Joint picnic of the Grange
and Farm Bureau on August 17, and it would be a fine
time to hold a. tournament of this kind. In the next
issue of our bulletin, we will get the sentiment of our
farmers and arrange for the tournament on the 17th
of August?

Mr. Decker of Jackson county, which by the
way is a regular “hot—bed" so to speak of horse-
shoe pitchers, pledges his support-in the follow-
lug-words:

"I heartily approve of this form of recreation and
believe we can. arouse a great deal of interest here
hi the county. I will give this publicity in the papers
and our Farm Bureau Bulletin and arrange for town-
ship or community tournaments wherever there is
enough interest. I know in Illinois they make quite a
project out of this horseshOe pitching game and your
idea. that the farm folks ought to have something to
take their minds of! the daily routine of work is cer-
tainly correct." .

Mr. L. L. Drake, of Mancelona county, sounds
his approval in this fashion:

N order to accomodate the thousands of farm-
ers ‘who will tour to the State Fair this year
to witness the great horseshoe pitching tourna-

ment and other attractions Geo. W. Dickinson,
n-secretary-manager of the Fair, has announced

 

that the Board has decided to establish a tour-.

ist camp whereall conveniences will be provided
for those Who wish to camp on the 'Fair Grounds.
The camp will be in charge of Mr. J. H. Brown
of Battle Creek, who has conducted a number
of very suc'cessiul fa'rmer- tours. Each tourist
will be allotted ample space to park an automo-
bile and "erect a tent. Polce protection will be
provided the campers‘and sanitary conditions will
be carefully guarded. It is believed that the know-
ledge that these facilities will be provided will
do much to increase farmer attendance at the
Fair. ’

Horseshoe pitching is a very old game. It re-
sembles somewhat the old Greek game of discus-
throwing, except that it is a test of skill rather
than of strength. Since the 15th century and
probably even earlier horseshoe pitching or quoits
has been a very popular game in certain sections
of Great Britain. especially Scotland, where some
famous international games have been played. An
old author says that “quoiting be too vile for

scholars.” Sure, it is no game for the weakling,’

but for the brawny armed son of the soil it is
a fascinating and healthful pastime.

Horseshoe pitching is gaining considerable
popularity in the United States and national rules
for playing the game have been adopted. A
number of spirited contests have-been held in
various states in recent years, notably Illinois,
and there are a number of contenders for the
honor of national championship. It is altogether
probable that the winner of the Michigan state
tournament will have an opportunity to meet the
champions of other states and participate in a
national tournament.

In the next issue will be published a pic-
ture of the big cup, the national horseshoe
pitching rules and some interesting facts about
horseshoe pitching tournaments.

‘ (The following article is the substance of an address
. Mighell, of Illinois, before the
a twenty-seventh annual meeting of the National Muni-
“cipal League, held at Chicago, Nov. 18, 1921. The
‘ arguments presented apply 'w th considerable force

. against the scheme of Detroit politicians to rob the
rural communities of their representation in the state
legislature—Editor.) ’

HALL one city rule a state? Many who hafe
S not thoroughly considered this question start
with the false assumption that no city can con-
trol a state unless its delegation in the legisla-
turefis at least 51 per cent of each house. Never-
theless, it is a well recognized fact, among stud-
ents of legislative methods, that the representa-
tives of a metropolitan center have vastly greater
power to “control legislation than an edual num-
ber woming from the scattered rural sections.

The power of voters to I express themselves
through law is directly proportional to the
strength and unity of theiir political organizations.
The political machine of a big city has additional
strength because it can distribute additional mil-
lions in official salaries, additional millions in

HOW A MINORITY CONTROLS

In Illinois the Chicago political machine con-
trols the selection of a third of the members of
thesenate and the same proportion of the house
of representatives. Seventeen or eighteen sena-
tors and from fifty to fifty—four representatives
are controlled by one or' two men, and it is
through this centralized control that the city’s
state delegation acquires a substantial part of
its excess of political strength.

It is claimed that the “gold coast” of the Lake
Shore Drive and the foreign borroughs of the
Stock Yards districts are not unified. They are
not socially, but Whether they enjoy it or not,

’ they are together politically. The same boss
rules them all and expresses alike for Jew and
GentiJ/e, Catholic and Protestant, Employer and
Employee, Rich and Poor. Aristocrat and Hobo,
their legislative desires. [Because they live in the
same community, the voters of a big c'ity; al-
though speaking different languages, embracing
different religions and living by different finan-
cial and social standards, have common interests
in streets, parks, amusements, business, taxation
and hundreds of other matters.

The city political machine, with its numerous
Ward and precinct clubs, is not the only political

,organization that includes within its membership
and dominates a large number of state legisla-
tors. In Chicago, and I presume in most large
cities, other overlapping governments, such as
drainage districts, park boards, forest preserves
and county governments help to unify the various
legislative districts.

In the country, the legislative district is the
larger territory, and a city machine or even a

Michigan Winter Wheat Conditions Well Above Average for Country ‘

growing states, but considerably above such
high-producing states as Kansas, Texas and
Oklahoma, and five tenths of one per cent above
the estimated average for the entire country-

Amorous PROPOSITION '

HE Seeretary'ot State has approved or
the form of an _ amendment 40 .the'
state constitution which, if adopted,

will bring about a redistrictinggf the rep- '
resentative and senatorial districts upon a
purely population basis. This would take
representation away from the rural cec-
tions and add to the already dangerous
power of the cities. It is a vicious pro-
posal, and MUST BE DEFEATED. The
issue has been fought out in New York
and other states with large urban popula-
tions, and the rural communities have won
the fight. Let; us do as well here in
Michigan. and be prepared to crush the
amendment when it is submitted. Some
excellent arguments against the popula-
tion theory of legislative representation
are presented in' the accompanying article
which every reader should study.—Editor.

county machine can control only a portion of the
members from one senatorial. district.

Again, the press of a large city is one of the
greatest influences to create a unity of ideas and
of political action. Chicago and all other large
cities have newspapers whose influence extends
into mapy legislative districts.
bune and the Chicago Daily News have almost
an hourly circulation and a direct political influ—
ence in about onenhalf the legislative districts
of the state of Illinois; No country paper can be
used to iinfluence more than two or three mem-
bers of the legislature. The hundreds of country

newspapers in Illinois are each pulling in a dif-'

ferent- political direction.

And again, the legislative delegates from a
large city through‘their proximity of residence
and the ease with which each is notified. can be
assembled for conference0 or rather, instructions,
within two or three hou s. The representatives
in the country are never ascembled except as they

are brought together at the sessions of the legis-

lature. ,_ ‘\

Still again, the state .executg e oflicers, being
selected from a single political‘ unit, wherethe
rule of numbers has no modifica ions, can be con-
trolled by a single city when t I t city approaches
a numerical majority'of the 'oters of the state,
and when that time arrivesrfige patronage of the

 
  

state executives can and will be added to the

patronage of the metropolitan center. This will
be no small item in increasing the excess o’f poli—
tical strength which the legislators of the city
already possess.

RURAL SECTIONS DIVIDED

With the interests of the rural sections divided,
it is not necessary for the legislative delegation
from a big city to have anywhere near a numeri-
cal majority to control the legislature. Harriman,
the railroad manipulator, said that with 30 per
cent. of the stock of any railroad, he would con-
trol the action ot’the road, and any business man
well knows that it is net necessary to have owner'-

. average per cent of abandonment of planted acre-

age is 10.4. - .

The average condition of winter wheat on May
1 was 83.5, compared with 78.4 on April 1, 88.8
on May 1, 1921, and 87.1, the average for the
past ten years on May 1. A condition of 83.5 per
cent on May 1 is indicative of a yield \per acre
of approximately 15.3 bushels, assumi‘hg average
variations to prevail thereafter. On the estimated
area to be harvested, 15.3 bushels per acre would
produce 584,793,000 bushels or 0.4 percent less
than in 1921, 4.2 'per cent less than in 1920,
23.1 per cent less than in .1919, and 9.0 per cent
more than the average of the past ten years. The
out-turn of the crop-swill probably be aboveior be-
low the figures given above according as the

change in conditions 'from May 1 to harvest is

above or below the average change.

When the present constitution of Illinois wasvaddpted

. fifty-one ,years ago. Chicago. with one-eighth of the

e state, had four senatOrs out of fifty

population of

and twenty-two representatives out of one hundred and

seventy-seven. She was not decidedly stifled in her.
growth by state control, for thirty years later in 1900,
she had thirty—eight per cent of the state and was
given nineteen out of fifty-one senators, and fifty-seven
out of one hundred fifty-three representatives. or ap-
proximately thirty—eight per cent ot,each house; .For

and refused to increase the size of the Chicago dele-
gation although if represented on a; population. basis
alone she would be entitled to approximately torty-
eight per cent of both houses. During the last 20 years
Chicago, limited in both houses to this thirty-eight per
cent. has practically controlled both branches of the
general assembly. For ten consecutive times the all-
powerful speaker has either been a member of the
Chicago delegation or oneselected with the support and
approval of that delegation. A large part of the time
of each session is given to distinctively Chicago mat-
ters and no complaints have been heard from her that

~her special interests have _been neglected or abused. It

is true that attempts have been made by rural dele-
gates to curtail board of trade operations, but never
even with a membership downstate of sixty-two per
cent could they carry out their program. What fear of
rural control should Chicago have if for the'future it
is limited in its percentage of membership the same as
it has been for the last twenty years?

COUNTRY FEARS CORRUPT CITY CONTROL

The certainty that as its popuulation reaches
fifty-five, sixty, or sixty-five per cent of the popu-
lation of the state, the governor who is elected
by the entire state, on a strictly numerical basis,
will be their friend. His veto. with thirty-(three.
and a third per cent of the membership of the
legislature, is a sure defense from the operations
of the “so called downstate burglars.” .

Chicago’s comm-on citizen does not tear down-
state and consequently shows no animosity to-
ward the country, but'the country does fear the
control of the city’s political machine. :'It does
not greatly fear the control exercised at the pres-
out time, for‘that control is based on thirty—eight
per “cent and must necessarily be tempered with
reason. 'What it does fear and has'a right to
fear is thearbitrary and dictatorial control which
comes to a city with fifty-one per'cent. ' i ‘

It is necessary in making an adjustment ofex-
cess of political strength to place an absolute
maximum limit on the representation of a metro-
politan center when that community approaches
the numerical majority which carries with it ab-
' This limitation is
‘not only necessary for the permanency of our

representative form of government, but also fair -

to the voters of the big city, provided the mami-
mum of Irepresentation is not placed at such 'a
small percentage as to give to other sections of
the state control of that city.

This the average intelligent farmer is begin-

produces the most at the lowest cost will be the

to make a pound of gain: 23.72 pounds of corn
stover silage, 1.23 pounds of linseed meal, 3.25

pounds of shelled corn, and 1.96 pounds of clover -

hay. The total amounts of these feeds consumed
was: com stover silage, 40,943 pounds; linseed

. meal, 2,131 pounds; shelled corn, 5,607 pounds;

clover hay. 3,388 pounds.
Lot 3' required 18.47 pounds of corn stover

silage, 1.05 pounds of linseed meal, 4.49 pounds

of shelled corn and 1.67 pounds of clover hay,
to produce one pound of gain. During the five
months of feeding this lot received 37,513 pounds
of corn stover silage, 2,131 pounds of linseed
meal, 9,114 pounds of shelled corn, and 3,388
pounds of clover hay.

Lot 1 produced the cheapest gains, the cost in
this case being $9.16 per hundred weight of gain,
for lot 2 it was $9.41 per hundred weight and
for the- third lot $9.56 per hundred weight. Hogs
were run with the steers and made substantial

gains on what they were able to pick uquh'en
. the value of the pork thus produced was deducted

from the costs, the.cOst of producing a hundred
pounds gain was reduced to‘$7.88 for lot 1, $8.38
for lot 2 and $8.23 for lot 3. Besides making
more and better gains lot 1 had a higher finish
and probably would command a higher price on
the market today.

The necessary selling price in order to get the
cost of feed at market prices for the stock was
$6.85 for lot 1, $6.87 for lot 2 and $6.89 for'lot
8. The farmer who sold his cattle would have to
figure in the cost of his labor and the\wear and

tear on buildings and equipment in addition to ‘

the above named figures in order to make any-
thing by feedng his grain to livestock.
Similar tests were conducted with hogs to do

luxuriantly on what appeared to be common yel-
low sand. Moreover, the vines were so thick in
the row that it looked as if the seed had been
hand sown, and the rows could not have been
more than twelve to fourteen inches apart.

Another case of intensive cultivation made pos-

sible by the liberal use of fertilizers.

What commercial fertilizers will do for potatoes
they will also do for other crops as Experiment
Stations have demonstrated time and again. Some
recent instances of this'have come to our atten-
tion, among them the outcome of some experi-
ments wth wheat which have been in «progress for
several years at the Ohio Experiment Station.

In one of the experiments, begun in 1897, eight
tons of fresh stable manure reinforced with forty
pounds of acid phosphate per ton (equivalent to
about 30 pounds each of ammonia, phosphoric
acid and potash, annually) has been spread on
clover sod in January to be turned under for corn
in a 8-year rotation of corn, wheat and clover.
Part of the field has been untreated for a liming
on, the corn over the entire field.

The alverage yield of wheat for 23 years on the
unfertilized portion‘ was 13.7 bushels per acre.

No attempt is made to give the per bushel

In Lots 6 and 7, it was unprofitable to feed
middlings at $30 per ton with barley and tank-
age or rye and tankage when hogs sold below
$7.00 per hundred pounds.

In Lots 6 and 7 the value of rye given is very
high with hogs at $9.00 and $10 per hundred
pounds and middlings at $30 per ton owing to the

Drop in Prices of Farm Products Must Be Met By Higher Acre Yield I

The average from the fertilized portion was 28.4
bushels, an increase of 10.7 per cent.

The other experimpent began in 1904. Fresh
phosphated manure had been spread on clover sod
in the fall and plowed under the following spring
for corn in a 4-year rotation of corn, oats, wheat
and clover. The wheat crop received an applica-
tion of cdmpleto fertilizer, the entire treatment
being equivalent to about 30, pounds each of am-
monia and potash and 49 pounds of phosphoric
acid annually.

The 17-year average yield of wheat on this
field was 34 bushels per acre, an increase of 148
per cent over that of the untreated field. In ad-
dition, this treatment has produced a 17-year
average yield of 74 bushels of corn, 62 bushels
of oats and three tons of hay per acre. r‘

Michigan to the Fore

Much educational work remains to be done
in this state upon the possibilities of com-
mercial fertilizers but it cannot be done all
at once. By taking one crop at a time
and showing by results obtained in other
states how profits can be increased by the use
of fertilizers it would be comparatively easy to
jump the yield materially on such
crop in a single year. If, for in- .
stance, the potato growers made up

 

_ yield of some of the important
crosps with that of other states
shows that we are a long ways
from the front line in this respect.

We have a habit of referring to
potatoes as a shining example of the

izers as demonstrated by certain
other states, notably Maine. Na-

potatoes to the acre, if her agri- .

“This testimony from one who knows better than

" “ ‘Some think we are not so fortunate; that the

the necessary investigation which will satisfy them and
the public in this matter, so they will be able to state
with certainty and know what they are talking about,
namely, I will give anyone one thousand dollars who
will prove that I ever held any stock in the Detroit
Creamery Company or have been in shinny emploged
by them or by any other creamery Detroit. on
can get the information needed from the Secretary of
State at Lansing! ' _

“As soon as Secretary Reed had made this statement,
President Hull said: 'I, too, will give one thousand dol-
lars to any person who will prove that I have held
stock in, or have been employed by the Detroit Cream-
ery or any other creamery concern in Detroit.’

"I‘hen George Burt said, ‘I want to put my pledge
by Mr. Reed's and Mr. Hull’s and if anyone can prove
that I have ever held stock in the Detroit Creamery
I will give. them one thousand dollars.’ " ,

OR many months rumors have been floating
about the state that certain oflicers and. em-

which the Bottlers’ Exchange served its master,
the Detroit Creamery Co, to the disadvantage of
other concerns and the milk producers. " »

It is noted that the new contract between the

 

Broducers’ Dairy Co. to Soon

NLY $14,000 of the $120,000 stool: issue of
‘ the Michigan Producers’ Dairy Company, re-

who has charge of the organization plans. This
company is being organized by the Michigan Milk
Producers? Ass’n for the purpose of establishing
plants around the “rim” of the “Detroit milk area
to make up the surplus milk into cheese, butter

.were financially interested in the Detroit Cream-

ery Co. Scores of letters have been received
by the Business Farmer virom members of the
association asking if any of the oflicers held stock
in the 'concern. To all we have given the same
reply that we did not know but that it was ex-
tremely improbable. At no time has there been
so much as an intimation in these columns that
any of the oflcers of the association were in any
wise influenced in their policies by'personal con;
siderations. On the contrary we have avoided
all mention of what appeared to be a most un-
pleasant subject.

Since, however, the Michigan Milk'Messenger,
Official organ of the Association. continues to harp
upon the subject and to publish repeated de-
nials of any collusion, we know of no good rea-
son why we should remain longer ilent. A
frank discussion of the matter at this time may
help to clear the atmosphere and prove a benefit
to all parties concerned.

It may be stated as a general rule that when
two groups of people disagree with each other
each begins to look for ulterior motives on the
part of the other. Many milk producers have
been unable to understand (the position of their
official heads in their negotiations with distribut—
ing concerns which has at times seemed to favor
the distributors and have accordingly raised a
questibn as to the judgment and motives of these
officers. ‘ »

_It may also be stated that no charge of infi-

"delity has ever been made publicly’xagainst any
' duly eiected oflicers of the Association.

Such
charges as have been made involving the in-
tegrity of the association were against an in-
dividual employed by‘ the Association. These
charges finally became so serious that the board
of directors ordered an investigation;'the details
of which have never been made public, but the
expected result of which was complete exoner-
ation of the party in question. _
DETEUI‘IVE MAKES CHARGES

The detective who made the investigations in—

to the Detroit milk situation _, during the .war

which resulted in the producers and distributors '

being hailed, into court and ordered to desiét
from their price-dining methods, compiled a vast

' amount of information on both the producers’
association and the Detroit milk combine. Upon

This will probably be within the course of anoth-,
or month. ‘

A good deal of difliculty has been experienced
in selling the stock because of the financial con-
dition of the farmers. Both Mr. Rabild and Mr.
B. F. Beach have been devoting the better part
of the past five months to the selling of the stock,
and while, they claim, they found a good deal
of interest among the {armors in the proposi-
tion, thousands of farmers who desired to take

stock simply did not have the required funds or ‘

credit. A

Mr. Rabild has requested the Business Farm-
er to announce that stock certificates will be
\sent to all farmers who have paid their sub-
scription in full. within the next two or three
weeks. All certificates will be dated irom date of

mediators ,' in the‘inatterot-‘price. - . 
f The} detective at no'time claimed that any oté:
,ficer 0'! the Producers" Aili’n “heldstock” in
the Detroit Creamery. Nevertheless the'detective
said he was convinced that Michigan ‘Milk 1

 again?‘ to the alleged relations“ 
tween nr. Burt and representatives of the cream
 00.. a milk producer living at Rochester, ms-
tified at the meeting inquestion that fora. long

time the producers in his locality had been sell-'

ing milk to the Oakland County Creamery. There
came a time, he said, when this cempany's busi-
ness expanded so rapidly that it,‘could not pay
its milk checks promptly, and asked the produc-
ers to give them .more time. This the producers
were inclined to do but one day Mr. Burt and
Mr. Watson appeared in Rochester and urged the
oificers oi the local to call a meeting ct their
members when they were warned by Mr. Burt
not to ship any more milk to the Oakland county
creamery; as._it was on its last legs. He” told the
producersthat ii they would break with this con-
cern he Wouldsee that the cans-oi another cream-
ery ‘company were 'on hand the next morning to

take the milk. ‘ Some of the producers followed .

Burt’s advice but the majority of them stuck by
the. old concern which shortly after paid up all
its 'old accounts. 7 ._
Some time prior .to this incident, it was sl-
leged, the Oakland County Creamery began to
use the word, “velvet” in advertising a Saltless
butter for sale to the Jewish trade. As is well
known, this is the trade name of the Detroit

Creamery's ice cream and they did. not approve,

of the Oakland County Creamery using the name
to advertise its butter. Burt and Watson, it is
said, accordingly approached the company, and
warned them against the further use of the word
"velvet." The company paid no attention to the
warning, the Detroit Creamery Company threat-
ened to prosecute them, for infringement on‘ a
trade—marked name, and the attempt of Burt slid
Watson to cut oil the milk supply of the Oakland
County. Creamery was, believed by the, detective
to be but a sequel 'to the “velvet brand” incident.

This is the story so far as we know it. With »

these facts in its possession the producers”com'-
'mittee made an nvestigaton and reported that

' “the said charges were made without any foun-

the final payment on the subscription. Mr. Rabild .

states that it has been impossible to send out
the certificates up to this time owing to the lack
of clerical help and his absence from the ofiice.

A meeting of the heads “of the state depart-

to this district wrote in the Itchi-
gan Business"Far-er cram 39th,
under “What neighbors my,” I
thought it was about time some one
madcawa Ihaveny
data iron the secretary of them
board and iron the m of my
oflee.

One ofthe neighbor’s objections
was a burdensome tax. He then gave
such statistics as follows: “The

pleted will cost around $120,000
(Correction, building and equipment
$107,500) “Cost of busses $15,500”
(Correction 812,838.50). “State aid
$5,500" (Correction, we expect state
aid of $4,800). The valuation of
school district $2,418,575” (Correc-
tion $2,660,000). “Tax rate $13.26
per $1,000, and no money has been
paid on the principal.” (Correction,
this statement is true as far is it
goes, but he fails to state that be-
side paying interest for 18 months
of $9,000 over $3,000 was raised
for equipment which it raised next
year will meet the allotment, which
was determined by the board, to pay
the necessary amount on the princi-
pal, wthout increasing the tair rate.)
He also failed to compare the tax
rate of Grand Blane ($13.26) -with
that ofsome other districts,
as Otisville ($38.00) a district which
is not consolidated.

This neighbor sends‘his children
to the little red school house. He
also makes this statement: “I have
had to let necessary repairs go in

he is not satisfied with the little
red school house system either; I
think that the opinion of a good
many kickers is that any system is
better that doesn’t cost much.

Our neighbor's next objection is
the transportation problem. "He
failed to find any parents who were
far from school who were sending
children under seven years of age.”
I found this data. Out of an en-
rollment of 59 in the first grade
only 10 were seven ‘or over when on-
rolled, and all of the 10 were pupils
who failed to pass the last semester.
Another statement, “some of the
children hare to leave home in the
morning at -7 o‘clock.” I have found
this data. In the Junior and Senior
High School of 105 pupils, only
three live six miles from school
and only one of them has to start
before 8 o’clock in the morning.
Only two in the high school (seventh
graders) cared to go back to the old
system. Out of 100 pupils in the
fourth, fifth and sixth grades, only
six cared to go back to the old sys-
tem, and none of these six live more
than four miles from school. I have
been in the system for three years
and there has been no serious
trouble in the bosses. Careful ‘men
are selected to drive the busses who
have the children under their super-
vision. Can this compare with the
system in which we used to go home
in a bunch with no responsible per-
son in charge? If anyone‘kicks on
the transportation problem he is
usually a tax kicker also.
Anotherstamment, “I am for the
little red school house and for the
best education I can afford to give
my Vchildren." I am not sure whether
he eon slord to send his children ‘
to high school. like lived in a con-'
solidated district I am sure he could,
until the children were at least 16

DITQB Business Farmerr In re-
ply to your request for I. state-
ment from mesince accepting

the p of the Michigan
Agricultural College, I take pleasure
in addressing a few 'words to the
farmers of the state for whom I have

labored for the past twelve yean.
. We have together faced problems,

studied conditions, and, I feel, have _

made some progress. In working
out the many problems that have
confronted us, it has been the farm-
er’s viewpoint _that I have consid-
ered first and his welfare which was
most vital. I have had splendid co-
operation and support which invari-

such '~ ably came to me and was very help-

ful, and I sincerely hope that this
some interest and help will be ac~
'corded in my new position.

In the past, my efforts were aimed
largely at Animal Husbandry—
stamping out contagious diseases at
live stock and helping build up the
dairy industry—promoting agricul-
ture generally, and allithe time striv-
ing to raise the standard of the agri-
cultural profession to a- station it
should occupy. These matters have
been of consuming. interest to me,
are still: and always will remain so.

But running through these lines
of work, I remember with much con-
viction that the best crops raised._on
our- farms _' are the boys and girls
and what we can do for them is our
wisest investment. If we give them
proper advantages and information.
they will care for these problems of
agriculture. I have telt honored
with the position which I now occu-
py and hope that I may be able in
some small way to assist the farm-
ers of the next generation. If\ my
experience and judgment and any
other qualities are such that I may
be of value in this position, I shall
be gratified to serve ‘with all the
powers that I possess. ‘

As I view it,’ one of the great needs
of Michigan agriculture is a‘broader
knowledge of scientific and, practical
facts for the farmer, and the Michi—
gan Agricultural College and its
achievements are fully needed to put
Michigan high as a state.- \

President Friday with his won-
erful economic ability and academic
training, is surely going to put the
college on a high plane of useful-
ness. It is one of my hopes that the
bright,- vigorone young man and
young woman of our farm may be
educated and interested thoroughly
in the problems of agriculture and
country life, and that their ability
may be conserved- to add to our
forces for an agricutural develop- \
ment.  ' ,

While having j—at this time served

FERTILIZER FOR SANDY SOIL
'I would like to ask what kind of ferti-
lizer would be best to use on a. sandy
soil for garden truck. I would like only
to use it in the hills of different vege-_
tables. I am planning quite a large gar-
den this year and need something to en-
rich the ground. I would thauk you very

much for information—~11. K, Pontiac.
Mich. ,
The best fertilizer to use on a

sandy soil for vegetable crops is well
decomposed stable manure. This
should be applied before plowing and
well turned under or if it is very
well decomposed, it may be used as
a top dressing and well worked into
the surface soil before the seeds are
sown. ‘ ‘

If a commercial or chemical ferti-
lizer is to be used we recommend
the use of a good high-grade com-
plete fertilizer. This should contain
about 4 per cent nitrogen in the
form of nitrate of soda; 8 per cent
phosphoric acid in the form of acid
phosphate and 6 to 10 per cent pot-
ash in the form of potassium muri-
ate or sulphate. This fertilizer may
be applied broadcast before the seeds
are planted using from 1000 to 3000
pounds per acre, depending upon the
needs of the soil; or it may be ap-
, plied directly in the hills or rows.

plication about two weeks later will

TRANSPLANTING LARGE TREES
I have in front of my residence a
double row of hard maple trees and as
the inside row is more obstructive than
beneficial I had in mind to transfer four,
of them to my farm. The trees are about
.19 inches in circumference and about
25 feet high. Please advise me if the
transplanting of such kind and size of
trees can be done successfully, the pro-
per time of transplanting and the metho
of moving same—C. S., Caro. Mich. ‘
Trees six inches in diameter and
even much larger can be and are
transplanted successfully but the
operation requires considerable care.
Furthermore, the larger the tree the
less ‘are its chances of coming
through satisfactorily. The main
roots should be carefully excavated,
disturbing the finer rootlets as little

 

U as possible, and each should be care-

fully wrapped in wet burlap to pre-
vent their drying out. The new site
should be prepared beforehand and
the tree placed in this at about the
same depth at which it formerly
stood and the earth packed firmly
around the roots so as to exclude
excess air. The operation should be
performed with as little delay as
possible. It is also well to support
the tree in its new site by guys until

5 it has become established.

Probably the best "method, but a

= more expensive one, is to make the

transfer in winter when the ground

1is frozen so that the entire root

system can be taken up intact with
its native earth. By this methbd
the roots are practically undis-
turbed—Marcus Schoaf, State For-
. ester. " ‘

KEEPING STOCK AND POULTRY

I wish to know if it is injurious to
horses and cattle to house chickens in the
basement of a barn where they both come

MUST ENGAGENLIENT RING BE *

RETURNED?

Can a girl he forced to the back her
engagement ring and watch after a

S., Watervliet. Mich.

Legally a young lady cannot be
forced to return an engagement ring,
or gifts from a gentleman friend. In
a moral sense, however, there is an
obligation to return the ring. An
engagement ring. is a seal otf affec-
tion, and if there is any loss of af-
fection and the ties are broken, the
ring should be returned. As to the
watch, I think you will be perfectly
justified in keeping it.-—Editor.

What crop can” be planted 65’ a clay
ditch bank which grew corn last sea-

for eight growing Pig‘s of about 100 lbs.
each at the present time? Their usual
pasture lot will have to be planted to
some gr crop and seeded this year,
which leaves me without pasture for
them—E. R. Monroe, Mich. .

Rape is one of the best'temporary
pastures for ,hogs. If two sow-
ings are made and these pastured
alternately, rape usually provides
pasture until heavy frosts in the fall.

From 4 to 6 pounds of Dwarf
Essex rape seed should be sewn
per acre. The imported Japanese
seed does not produce as large a
growth as Dwarf - Essex. Feeding
tests show that rape compares fav-'
orably with clover and blue grass
as a pasture crop for hogs.—C. R.

cured by sowing Sudan grass broad-
cast or drilling solid the same as
oats ‘or barley with an ordinary
grain drill. .
Sudan grass is usually sown in
32-inch rows when-the crop is to be
harvested for seed. Would recom-
mend sowing from 20 to 25 pounds
of seed per acre, On a well prepared
seed bed, about the middle of May.
You state that the field is infested
with quack grass, in which case
would suggest frequent and thorough
cultivation of the field with a‘spring
t-oo’th harrow until about the first
of June in order that the‘quack
grass may be checked and the con-
ditions for quick growth of Sudan
made more favorable—C. R. Mcgee,

What Congressional district is ’Antrim

tees is he on, if any? We think a great

HORSE-WISH

Which is best tor use with horse-radish,
white or cider vinegar? What some-
times causes the bitter taste in canned
horse-radish? Could horse-radish canned
this spring 'be kept until next winter?
Any information on the subject will be
greatly appreciated. Mr. Editor, con-
gratulations on your fine paper. I espe-
cially enjoy, “What the Neighbors Say,”
and aren’t there some mighty interest-
ing farm people to judge from their
letters? May your good work continue
and may you prosper.——R. A. 0,, Harte-
ford, Mich. .

The only data that‘we have on
preserving horse-radish recommends

 

merely grating the root and adding 5

vinegar to cover. ~ _

I believe that commercially white
vinegar is always used and probably
gives a‘ whiter product but doubtless
cider, vinegar is about as desirable
except for color.

The bitter taste in canned horse-
radish might bedue to the use of
old, strong horse—radish of inferidr
flavor to start with or might be due
to a kind of-spoilage. Canned horse-
radish which stands tor some time
tends to discolor at the/top of the
jar, otherwise the product should
keep indefinitely ii.’ sealed air tight
ass-lit is preserved in vinegar. The
top discolored layer may be re-
moved when the Bar is opened.—

DRAINAGE 0N . HIGHWAY

Will you please tell me through the
Farmers' Service Bureau what is the law
governing the draining of water along a
{highway that is (being constructed?
Should—it be allowed togo out of its natur-
al course. if there be one, or could it be
changed to run through where it would
be a detriment or damage to the owner
or occupant of lands adjacent thereto
_without the knowledge or consent of the
owner or occupant and who would be the
one responsible? Should it be theaover—
seer or commissioner if being built by
the township or would it be the board
of county commissioners, or would it be
the county manager if built under the
fifity road system?—VV,. B., Kingsley,

The highway authorities have ,a

in: ,no limitation as to the

direction-in which "they shall take

the surface water, the only limita-
tion being that they have no legal
right to dump the surface water on
to the abutting property owner, the
statute giving them full and complete
authority to purchase the drain-

age right of way for the purpose of .

taking care of the surface water and
if they cannot obtain by purchase
or otherwise an outlet the highway
commissioner of the township is em-
powered under the statute to peti-
tion the county drain ’commissibner
for the construction of an outlet
drain for the drainage of the 'high-
way in the course ‘of construction.

As towhom you should look for
damages, please'be advised that you
should take this matter up with
the township board in case the com-
missioner or overseer have caused
the Water to be placed on his
premises and perhaps he would be
justified in filing a claim against
the township for the damages to his
property. This of course is impos-

Pinchot was in Michigan trying to line up the

There is one man in Michigan who can fill
every requirement of a “people’s candidate”
for United States senator. He is a man of
strong conyictions, progressive viewpoint, and
great ability as a legislator and debater. As
a member of both houses of the Michigan legis-
lature he established a record for square deal-
ing and pugnacious adherence to his principles
even to the point of fighting single-handed for
what he believed was right that won for him

the cognomen‘of “bear-cat of the no ” His
entire legislative record is one to admire and

. AThe peeple are calling Baker to become a
candidate for the United States senate. Sev-
‘- eral bodies of men representing labor organiza—V
- tions haVe pleaded with him to become a candi-
date, and there is no doubt but what the senti-
ment of the farmers would be for Baker should
he enter the race, as he has been an acknowl-
edged leader in agricultural affairs and com-
mands a large following among tillers of the
soil.

The time is psycohological for a man of
Baker’s type to become a contender for the

United States senatOrship. It is almost cer-
' tain that he would win in the present line-up. _
The Business Farmer believes that" it bespeaks

country can use, and its influence will undoubt-
edly be seen when the seed and plants are actu-

will never be fine, but it' will be 'a lot closer

THE ONE-ROOM SCHOOL

” The school question is a' very much

discussed subject today and any light

we can get is surely welcome and of in-

terest. I have received a very compre-

hensive book on the rural school condi-

' Ohio and will publish in several

8 excerpts from it that I believe

u will find interesting reading. I will

lso answer if possible any questions

3 that come to the mind of any reader.

:31 am entirely open to conviction my-

self and am simply quoting opinions of

others who have made a study of con-

ditions. .

: First comes an interesting resume of

v the old conditions:

pioneer days the industrial and

social activities needful to the

simple life of the community took

place within the scope of the obser-

vation of the child. There was no

material division of labor and each

family was almost self—sustaining.

They cleared the ground, prepared,
the soil with a wooden—share plow,

sowed and reaped the crops, spun

and knit and wove. The children
observed all these industrial activi-
ties and were required to take part
in them to the extent of their ability
and strength They learned to do by

received an industrial training of
‘real educational value. It was edu—
'-"cation through life in the fullest
measure. In like manner the social
'values of education were secured in
many ways outside of school. By the
,time these boys and girls reached
maturity they could do almost every-
.thing that anybody else in the com-
munity could do; they could per-
form their part in the social and in-
dustrial activities of the community
:and were relatively efficient citizens.
Nevertheless, these hardy pioneers
~who so courageously braved the
'dangers and privations of the west-
ern wilderness brought with them
certain educational and cultural
ideals.- that could not be attained
“by participation in home and com-
ginunity activities. The school with
yi-ts fundamentals of reading, writing
‘ and arithmetic was a necessary sup—
, plementary agency in the training
or the children. Our forefathers rea—
., lized this and wherever they ad-
vanced to occupy new territory they
"always took the school with them
and almost contemporaneously with
the erection of the cabin home was
the appearance of the rural school
house. The curriculum of this little
district school was narrow and the
, methods of instruction were poor as
compared with our modern concep-
,'tions but it served its day. Formal
‘p-instruction was not so needful to the
frontiersman because his children
were obtaining a practical education
'-by participation and strong self-re-
liant men and women were produced
with but a few months of school at-
tendance. ’ .
_Furthermore, the old time district
"h‘ool Occupied an important place
the social life of the-community
d it was the center of the entire
mmunity of much truly education-
“activity. Then, too, there were
,0 port'unities for entertainment
” ‘ eaticn so the, people of a
" . y naturally turned" toward
v amusement. < re

{a nation than the observance d '

thing and by this participation they -

ing; ‘

   

But conditions have changed. The
old time plow with its wooden share
has 'been replaced by the tractor;
the ex cart has, through the courso
of evolution, given way to the autm .
mobile. There has been a marvelous ’
social and industrial change, in our

nation and life has become moro ,

complex in all its phases. New in-
dustries have sprung up on every
hand with a consequent division of
labor. Production and preparation
of .the things necessary to the con-
venience. comfort and life of the
home and community are far re-
moved beyond the limitations of the
child’s observation. With the multi-
plying and growth of cities came
many artificial attractions and inter-
ests, and the daily paper made the
youth familiar with city life. , He
read and heard of the great rewards
of commercial enterprises. The dis—
trict school failed to attract longer
as a center for the social and intel-
lectual life of the community and its
usefulness as an institution was

hampered.

WARM WEATHER FOODS

S the warm summer days come
on, a. change in our diet is
healthful and also grateful to

the palate. The heavy dinners of
beef, pork and veal can well be
changed to some lighter of nutri-
tious food. I have some recipes—
easy to prepare and cheap. I will
print these recipes if there are lad-
ies who would like them. Will you
just send me a postcard?

There is a new salad dressing that
ought to be always on hand in our
refrigerators. It is splendid on let-
tuce, tomatoes, onions and for devil-
ing eggs for the summer lunch bas-
ket.

Beat one egg-yolk and add‘slowly
1 cup of Mazoia oil, a teaspoonful
at a time; then add mustard, 1-2
teaspoonful salt and 1 tablespoonful
of vinegar. You will like it I am
sure.

'I have recived from. reading your

pgges especially the past year. At,
timessI Was in such despair it seem-
ed no human being could be so un-
happy as I. 'When one of these,

spells I call them, came upon me I

would read and read the letters over
and over again. It 'helped» me to
come to the conclusion that I had
much to be happy about. ,

No ,man could be more faithful
than mine and no man could be more
thoughful of his wife and children}:
Our children are bright and healthy.

Money is a mighty scarce article\
in our household but it won’t buy
miles or. chase tears away, so why
worry so much? ' ' '

We seem to have lots of friends.
In fact I know they are friends.
When they come to see us we know
its our company they wish, instead of
our financial. influence.

We try to be neat. to be honest,
we read some, plan lots and quarrel
none. Things are getting to run real
smooth. «.Yes and ,we did lots of
adjusting. It was done» on both
sides, and it was hard,“ too. '

I believe if the husband of the
“old, old story" is really sincere and
tries hard enough, he \can win back
his wife’s affection. It probably
put him out some. I really believe
if the wife likes to read and was all
the friend in “The Old, Old Story”
claimed of her, reading of, “Mary
Marie” by Eleanor H. Porter would
do her a lot of good. She wouldn’t
want her children to suffer as “Mary
Marie’s” did and I believe nothing
could be much worse than to go
as a bride into a big house, be bossed
by another woman and a man so ne-
glectful or so engrossed in his af-
fairs as to see nothing. Its a novel
but the characters are very real.

“Equality of Sex" was good, and

I feel C. E. B. never need be
“shocked” if one of these boys
should marry a girl that “slung

pots” in some one’s kitchen as long
as she was pure, good and true and
could carry her share of the "load,"
or her marrying a man that had lit-
tle of this world’s goods as long as
he stood for pure clean manhood.

Upon the battle field, 9

The boys in blue woro fighting
Their noble lag to shield.

Came a cry from their bravo captain.
“Look, boys, our flag is down,

Who'll volunteer to save it from disc

grace?” ‘

“I will," a young voice shouted.
"I’ll bring it back or die.”
Then sprang into the thickest of the fray.

From afar a noted general
Had witnessed this brave deed.
“Who savedour flag, speak up, lads,
’Twas noble, brave, indeed.”' -
“There he lies, sir,” said tire captain,
“Ho’s sinking very fast.’
Then slowly turned away to hide a tear.

The general in a moment knelt down ,

Then gave a cry that touched all hearts
that day:
“’Tis my son, my brave young hero,
I thought you safe at home.”

THE DRESS FORM

I noticed in the M. B. F. about some.
onebeing interested "in dress forms. Now
I have one and all of the women in the
neighborhood have. ' We sent for tape.
which costs 36 cents (that is the tetal
cost). You need a vest, an old one does
just as well as~new as it has to be out.
Now we had a club to make them as it
takes too long for. two to do it. We have
six or eight. t takes an hour or an hour
and a. half and we have paper all out
ahead. One to paste on and two to wet
the tape. ~ I  '

They are fine. Put ' a' stand under it
the same height as the person for vwhom
it is made and no form is worth more.

not mention what 'I have in my patch
. this year because that is in my report.
During the four years that I have been
in club work I have taken first place in
our county on spuds and story. I have
also taken prizes at the four county fairs
at Houghton, competing not in club, but
with the rest of the farmers. I also
have taken the State Championship on
spuds for two years in successxon; it is
a silver loving cup. but I must win it one
more year to have it for keepsake. I also
have received a scholarship which will
- be paid on my fees at the M. A. C. if
I go there, which I hope to do. .
Does anyone think I was a loser or
foolish to join the potato club? No, _I was
not.
cup. a scholarship at M. A. C. and my
p-spuds to sell this year, and besides all
“this I have learned a great deal about
good farming that I could not have
learned any other way. So at the end
of my last year of club work I wish to
thank all the extension workers, and al-
though I can no longer be a member. I
shall always be in the side l1nes and
boost. Three cheers for club work. May
the good work go on!

admired by all who ; knew her and
whenever anybody ‘ would pass by the

noticed. e would jump upon her swing
and sometimes she talked to them. The
milliner had crossed the sea when she
was a little I and always used good

Polly birdseed, crackers and sometimes
a lump of sugar When customers came
into the store the milliner was very
nice She would put a hat on the
customer /and say in a pleased way.
"Sweet thing. latest style." If the
lady bought a hat the milliner would
say, “Sweet thing, latest style. pretty.
retty, pretty; you’ve got the prettiest
 in town.” en the lady would buy

Dear Uncle Ned—How are you today?
We have just 12 more days of school.
Our school lets out the 19th of May.
There are two in my class. I think I
will pass. I have a great many pets.
On is a little kitten. Some of the others
arg horses and cows.——Willie Minier,
Mason, Mich., Roue No. 2.

 

,Dear Uncle Ned—We are going to
have tests in arithmetic tomorrow over
all we have had. We have two and a
half more weeks of school yet. We «are
going to have tests the last week of
school and I hope to pass. We are go-
ing to have a picnic the last day of
school. Each family is going to bring
something. Wilber Minier is to bring
potatoes and he said he had just as
soon bring raw potatoes and then I said
to bring potatoes that are cooked. I have
four pets. They are a cat, a horse, a
cow and a bird. I like them all. We
saw a bluebird last night and it has
made a nest in a post in our backyard.
We watched the bluebird and it flew
right down on its eggs. There are
five little blue eggs.——Winifred Foote, Ma-
son, Mich,

Dear}ch Ned—I am eight years old
and am in e third grade. I live on
a seventy-acre far have three sis-
ters. Father bough a car last summer:
it is a Ford. We have three—quarters
of a mile to walk to school. We hay;
one horse and one cow. The cow is
brown Swiss and her name is May. For
pets I have two cats and one dog. My
father takes the M. B. F. and likes it
real well and so do I. I like to read
the letters in it. Your friend.——Margaret
Worden. Route 4 Ionia Mich.

 

Dear Uncle Ned—I have been reading
the letters in the M. B. F, and I thought
I would write one too. I am a girl 13
years old and in the tenth grade. I have
about two miles and a halt to walk to
school but it is good exercise. I will be
glad when we have nice weather as I
want to play base ball. We girls have a
base ball team and/play other teams. I
think that base ball is a very good form
of sport. About three or four weeks ago
we had an ice storm and as there was
,good sleighing we had a number of
sleigh rides.

We live on a sixty-acre farm. two and
_one-half miles south of Alabaster. Ala-
baster is not very large but is quite im-
portant for a place of its size. It has a
quarry and a mill owned by the U. S.
Gypsum Company. It exports rock.
crushed rock, and different brands of
plaster. My birthday is June 13.——Dorothy

uise Anderson, Tawas City, R. 3, Mich.

 

Dear Uncle NedflAs I have not writ-
ten to your circle for so long I thought
I would write today. Last week we had
a county mental arithmetic and spelling
contest. My brother got first prize in
arithmetic and I got third prize. I am 12
years old and am in the seventh grade
at school, My favorite studies are arith-
meti physiology. grammar and spelling.
But like arithmetic best though. I am

, sending in some riddles.

Where were the first doughnuts fried?
Answer: Greece. Why is a minister like
a brakeman? Answer: Becausue he does
a lot of coupling. Why is a washer-wo-
man like Saturday? Answer: Because she
brings in the clothes (close) of the week.
What goes all the way from here to tho
coast without moving? Answer: Railroad
tracks. Good-bye Uncle Ned and cousins.
Ruth Coselman, R. 1, Bancroft, Mich.

 

Dear Uncle Ned—-May __I join your
merry circle? I am a girl'lz years old.
my birthday is the first of July. I am in,
the sixth and seventh grade. I have been
reading the Children’s Hour and think it-
is nice to read warm afternoons. I go to
Bancroft h ‘school and like it fine. I
have one sister. We both can drive our
car, it is a Ford. About every Friday we
have a ball game. It is real interesting.
I would like to have all the other boys
and girls write and see if we couldn‘t
have a contest- Who could . write the
best story or something like that. Hoping
many of the boys and girls will write to
me. love to Uncle Med and cousins.—

there is scarcely a hatch without
home infected chicks. Don’t let those
few intact your entire flock. Pre-
vent it. Give "Walla in all drinking

you won’t lose one chick Where you

of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fin”;
ally I sent for» two packages or

I never lost a single chick from '
White Diarrhea. Walla: not only
prevents White Diarrhea, but it gives
the chicks strength and vigor; they

_ - ,, on the average'ha 951119311181!- _
est-producing '. dairy V cows; according

"to an analysis :of census figures made

by’ the United. States Department of
Agriculture. The 48 states were ar-
ranged in the order of' percentage
of purebred sires, ranging from 91
per cent for Arizona down to 8 per
cent for North Dakota. By dividing
the list into four groups of 12 states
each and averaging the .’ purebred-
sire percentages and the figures on
milk production per cow, it was

, round that the top group on. the

purebred-sire basis was also the
leading group in average milk yield.
On through the classification, the
average milk production for the
groups tellvofl as the percentage oi!
purebred bulls decreased. This is
evidence that it pays to keep ani-
mals of improved blood, the depart-
ment believes. " A

V 'In‘the first group the average per-
centage of purebred dairy bulls for
the 12 states. was 51, and the aver-
age yearly milk production per cow
was 4,068 pounds; for the second
group the figures were 80 per cent
and 3,375 pounds; for the [third
group, 19 per cent and 2,7 61 pounds
and for the last, 12 per cent and
2,087 pounds.

rMichi-gan is in the second group
with 34 per cent of her bulls pure-
bred and her average milk yield per
cow 3,965 pounds.

 CATTLE ON HIGH-
. WAY

Can a farmers neighbor who has had
his herd of cattle tested for tuberculosis
prevent him from driving his cows on the
public highway to nature? Said cows
have-not been test My neighbors cows
are pas a field bordering the
highway and there is a ditch which
crosses the road but we do not intend
to let our cows drinkthere. Now in there
any law to prevent this?&E. P.. Ply-
mouth.

There is no general compulsory tu-
berculin testing law in this state at
the present time. Therefore, it
would not be possible for you to
compel a test of your neighbor’s
cattle unless reasonable evidence
could be produced to indicate that
the animals were diseased, in which
event the. matter could be taken up
by this department and a test re-
quired—B. J. Killham, Chief Veteri-
narian. \ "‘

BRANDING CATTLE WITH IRON

Is there a law against branding cattle
with a hot iron in this stateY—E. G,‘
Onaway. Mich. .

We know of no law in this state
which prohibits the use or! a brand-
ing iron- on cattle. It is possible
that it branding were not done in a
humane manner, that the laws or
regulations relating to the humane
treatment of animals might be vio-
lated—B. J. Killham, Chief Veteri-

narian, Bureau of Animal Industry.

LYMPEANGITIS‘

I would very much like to know what
could be done for lymphang'itis. My 13-
year-old ‘mare has it in both hind legs.
She has been this way for nearly a you.
At times her legs are swollen quite bad
and when she has considerable exercise
thaey are 31);: smollgrli‘3 so bad' mostly

:wollen. Is there‘any cure at all 1?;- $11:
disease7—W. M.. Ionia. Mich.

No, there is no complete cure for '
chroni’c lymphangitis, although a
great deal can be done to relieve
the. swollen condition of .the legs.
It should always be remembered
after a horse has had an attack
of lymphangitis, he is more predis-
posed to future attacks, and these
should be avoided if possible for
each attack leaves the glands and
legs more swollen. _When you are
not working this animal give her all
the exercise possible, and 'when '
standing in the stable, keep the legs-
bandaged. , as tightly " as v pos‘sible,‘

appears ‘to be partially blind. She runs

thing I can do for her?——~A Subscriber,
Whittemore. Mich.

In sending inquiries to this do-
partment, 'it is absolutely necessary
that, so far as possible, a complete
history, including all symptoms of
the case is given. There are a num-
ber of diseases affecting the eyes of
sheep as well as other animals, and
you have given no symptoms other
than that the animal is partially
blind; this may be caused by cater-
act. opthalmia or any one of sev-
eral other diseases. It! you 'will
state the actual condition of the eyes
we will try and advise you as best
we can. In the meantime I would
suggest yen use a few drops of a five
per cent solution of argrol morning
and night_and keep this animal in
good clean quarters inside for two
or three, weeks.

 

GIDIN SHEEP

I am writing to see if you can tell us
what ails or'what to do for our sheep.
First they refuse to eat also act dizzy
and blind. do not seem to have any cold.
Have lost one; ewe and have another sick.
They are in good condition, have been
,fed hay, corn fodder, and ensilage.—H.
R, BentleS'.. Web. ’

This ailment is due to the larva
of the tapeworm. The eggs of this
tapeworm are distributed around the
pens or corrals by carnivorous ani-
mals, chiefly dogs. Other animals,
such as the coyote, wolf or fox, may
also be the host of this tapeworm.
Amer, the eggs are ingested by the
sheep, it, is supposed that they hatch.
and the embryos gain entrance to
the'circulatory system " by piercing
the walls of the stomach, although
our knowledge at their life history

‘13' incomplete.'Th-ose that reach the

brain or spinal cord develop into
large cists, and cause this fatal
malady among sheep. The manifesta-
tions of GID are general in char-'
actor, and at first, in some cases, one
may suspect, rabies, or some form of
poison, but, the coma that soon“ fol-
lows, and a postmortem will reveal
the true cause. The anilnal becomes
dull, with loss of appetite. Later, it
begins to stagger around in more
or less of a circle, and finally it tails
down and dies in a convulsion. No
treatment is possibleior this disease.

Why? Because the minute
you start using a De Laval you
get something to sell for cash—
cream; and in addition you get
skim-milk to grow into another
crop of calves, pigs and chickens.
Two sources of profit, and a
steady cash income every day.

cies that will sell complete sets.
They are advertised in the Radio

' UNABLE To GET PITTSBURG

I have a radio receiving set made up
of 2 variometers, a Variocoupler and a.
detector bulb. I have no trouble in get-
ting Detroit in any kind of weather, but
have been unsuccessful in getting Chi-
cago or Pittsburgl o I need a one-
step amplifier to get these stations?
When I have my receiver adjusted for
Detroit at 360 meters. and I Wish to
get Pittsburg, also 360 meters, is it
necessary to alter all adjustments on
both \variometers and on variocoupler?
Or is it only necessary to change the ad-
juStment on the wing variometer? The
primary or variocupiler is controlled by
2 seven-point switches. When changing
from Detroit to Pittsburg is it necessary
to alter the adjustment of these two
switches? Receiving the weather and
market reports each day—keeps the
farmer posted at all times what his pro-
gflgtfi are bringing—C. E. J.. Rochester,

 

If you are using a gas content de-

ii tector bulb, you should be_able to

hear Pittsburg now and then, but

with a one step amplifier you would

be sure to hear both Pittsburg and
Chicago. . t '

' -It is not necessary to change both
variometers usually, but by chang-
ing the wing variometer and vary-
ing the coupling of the vario—coupl-
or secondary you can get the other
stations that are on the same ,wave
length. g \

You will not need to change your

"switches on the variocoupler.

Yes, the weather and market re-
ports are necessary to the farmer if
he wishes to_be up to date.

 

HIGH SCHOOL BOY GETS .GOOD
RESULTS

' We take the Business Farmer and

it better than any other paper. It is al-
ways a welcome! visitor here. Your, paper
was the only paper that did not raise
in price during the war while other pa-
pers doubled their price. I saw in your
paper a few weeks ago that you would
like to know of all the people who had
radiophone sets. I have a receiving set
which is all home made. My set is'a
short wave regenerative receiver. M
aerial is 32 feet high and 100 feet long,
and I use the counterpolse ground. My
mother is nearly as good an. operator
as I am. I am not at home she
gets the musicas good as I can. I have
a transmitting set also. I go to the Sher-
wood High School and I am in the elev-
enth grade. I put .my radiophone up in
the spare time I had left after I had
finished my chores. I will give you the
wiring diagram of my receiver. With
this set I hear nearly all the radio sta-
tions—P. B.. Sherwood, Mich.

You are doing well to receive all
the radiophene stations with just,

manship and care to details will do

RADIOGRAPHS

( Radio is declared by spiritualists to be
the“ “missing: iink’: between-the dating and
do“. They predict that we will soon
be able to converse with the departed
over the radianhone.

In a recent issue mention was made of
locating aerial wires inside. This can
safely be done by those- located within
20 miles of a breadcastingstation and
by others r removed 0 have
pOWerful machines. 4 A Mount Clemens
boy has perfected an outfit which will
receive NeWs radio programs for a dis-
tance of several miles without any aerial
wires at all. The little binding post
about one- inch long to which the aerial

ires are ordinarily attached, receives

6 messages very satisfactorily.

Overlooking the city of Washington, D.
lies the beautiful Arlington cemetery
.ere thousands of our national heroes
lie sleeping. Not far from the tombs
of these departed heroes the government
has erected one of the most powerful
broadcasting stations in the world from
which time signals are dispatched hourly
to every atom of space within a radius
of several thousand miles. The station
is destined to play an important part
in- the commercial and political destinies
of the nation.

 

Radio waves will pass through almost
any substance. Wood, brick, stone or
other. building material seem to offer
little if any resistance. I have stood
listening to a wireless announcement
with, my receiving set ttached to aerial
wires outside. and coud detect no' diff-
erence in either the strength or clarity
of the tone when .the outside wires were
detached and a piece of looped copper
wire three feet long put in its place, al-
though the receiving set and wire were
surrounded on all sides by thick walls
and shelves laden 'with merchandise.

 

The Detroit News has been broadest-
ing for over two years. Its daily progmn
of news. weather, crop and market r5

ports, of practical talks by business men.,

ministers of the gospel, educators, etc,
and its musical numbers rendered by the
best "resident and transient artists who
visit the city. is not surpassed anywhere.
.For five or six hours of the day any-
‘one with a proper receiving set can hear
all these features without a cent of cost.
The Detroit Free Press has just installed
anotiher powerful broadcasting station
which, with the Detroit News station,

ives the residents of Michigan and ad-

oinlng states a wireless service unex-
celled in any other part of the country.

TURKEYS YIELD GOOD PROFIT
I IN SPITE.OF HEAVY LOSSES
RETURN of $1,525‘from turk-
eys in 2 seasons was obtained
by an Oklahoma woman in
spite of heavy losses in her flock, due
to conditions that might not occur
elsewhere. The Greer County exten-

sion agent convinced her that it‘

would pay to follow the advice of
the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State Agricul—
tural college and substitute pure-
breds for her scrub stock. He also
gave her information on the manage-
ment of her flock. ‘ "
_ She started with 10 hens and 1
tom of, the Mammoth Bronze vari-
ety. From these she raised 122_
young turkeys, but lost 50 of'them
in a sudden hail storm. The rest
she soldas breeders, advertising
them in a farm ,journal. They net-
"ted her $900, or' an average of
. $12.60 each.

This year she started with the
same number of breeders and ob-
tained 145 young poults. Unfortu-
nately tone of the farm hogs was
fond of t_urkey,..and destroyed all
but 51.vof.the flock before the depre-
dations were traced; to him. At about

‘ This revival in industrial‘occupa-
tlons will have its effect upon agri—

»culturé. Not only will it give the
‘ consumer more money with which to

buy'but it has an important psycho-
logical effect upon the markets. If it

will only continue until this year’s ,
crops are ready for the market then 1

the farmer, too, will derive some
benefit from the revival.

Following the heavy reins of last
Week the soil is in good condition
for working and farmers are as busy
as beavers in their fields. If all the
old saws prove true concerning the
effect of the kind of spring we have
had upon the field and orchard crops
we may expect a season of plentitude
in all farm crops produced in ’Michi-
gan.

 

WHEAT

May 24-—'Wheat has suffered seri-
ous reverses the last few days drop-
ping from a high on the Detroit
market of $1.45 to $1.37. A number
of causes are assigned to the de-
cline, chief among which are the
liberal offerings of old Wheat which
most of the trade has thought could
not be produced. It is said that more
wheat has already been shipped out
of the country than was estimated
possible a'few months ago, and the
ease with which supplies continue to
pop up when prices are satisfactory
has been a discouraging factor to
the bulls. Then, too, the condition
of the crop in the southwest shows
improvement as was to be expected.
It won’t be many weeks now before
some of the new crop will be on the
market, although it is said that al-
ready over 40.000.000 bushels have
been sold in advance of the harvest
for shipment abroad. This fact
plainly shows that we are mortgag-
ing our future wheat crop a long
way ahead for the sake of present
needs. We can continue to do this
about so long and then the penalty
must be paid in scarcity and high
prices.

It is thought that farmers will be
ready sellers of new wheat this year
providing prices remain anywhere
near their present level, though
there are excellent reasons for be-
lieving that very much higher prices
may be seen within a few months
following harvest than will be paid
at that time. , ‘

May aim—Oats have weakened
slightly in sympathy with wheat but
there has been no important price
changes. The fact that the old crop
is getting pretty well cleaned up and
the new crop will not be large is
having a beneficial eflect upon the

‘market. Oat prices are quite likely

to continue their slow advance.

POTATOES

May 24—The potato market is
weakening under the burden of in-
creasing supplies of both old and
new stock. The Detroit market is
amply provided and prices have tak-
en a drop-of ten cents a bushel in
the last few days. We still expect
to see a slight spurt in prices before
the Wind—up but the season is get-
ting pretty far advanced for any
farmer to expect to receive any ma—
rterial advantage from .higher prices.

'iDrNAMITE IN THE ORCHARD

 

, dynamite is being used more
extensively than ever this year

in‘the rejuvenation Oi old orchards.

and the planting ' of new ones
throughout Oregon, ‘ Washington,
Idaho, New York and the New Eng-
land states. Experiments show that
blasting can be used eflectively both»
in restoring vigor to Old orchards
and in stimulating the growth of
,trees planted in unfavorable loca-

Most satisfactory results are .Ob-
tained by loosening the earth around
the tree as close to the roots as
possible. In orchards already estab-
lished. the method of loosening the
\earth Is to fire small charges or
tam dynamite (about one-fourth,
pound) in holes punched about four
feet deep and close to the outer cir-
cumference of the roots.- ID the
case of small trees,, these holes
should be blasted about six feet
{Tom the trunk; for larger trees,
just beyond the spread or the

growing for several years and are
let thirty or more feet apart, an ex-
cellent practice is to place the blasts
midway between the rows.

Through the loosened soil the line
roots can more! easily penetrate and
draw sustenance from a. wider area
and rain water can seep down into
the soil and form a reservoir of
moisture upon which the tree can
draw in times of drought. It the
earth is in need or enriching, the
holes so blasted can be illled with al-
ternate layers of manure and any
suitable fertiliser. I

The idea of blasting «holes for or-
chard cultivation is credited to an
ingenious Orchardist in California
who found digging in rocky soil very
diflcult. Nearly forty years ago he
made his experiment and other fruit
growers. inspired by the rapid
growth or trees so planted, followed
his example. After years of experi—
mentation, the opinion of orcherdists
is that trees planted in blasted holes
develop more quickly and bear more
