ORLDwide indications of a
wool. shortage continue to
boost the market for Ameri-

,can fleeces, said D. W. Williams,

June 1 as the Farm Bureau grading
teams were engaged in pooling and
'in Kent, Ottawa,
Muskegon, Montcalm, and Mecosta
counties. From those counties the
teams on June 15 will begin a cam-
paign of 37 pooling centers in the
Thumb district.

The bureau expected to complete

the second payment of its 1921 pool,

account to the farmers by June 6,
according to a statement issued on
June 1 when 6,700 checks had been
dispatched and the remainder of the
10,000 were being sent out. at the
rate of 500 a day. , -
Dealers and manufacturers in the
Seventh Federal Reserve District
said in the May business conditions
report of the Chicago Federal Re-
s'erve bank that recent improvements
in the Wool industry, lack of a sur-
plus of desirable wool, the tariff out-
look a probable smaller clip in the
United States for 1922, advancing
foreign markets and speculative
trading—were factors that increased
price paid woOl producers nearly 100
per cent over April 1921 prices.
South American wools are rapidly
disappearing. The Argentine stocks
are reported down to small lots
which are commanding high prices.
The Uruguay crop of 5,000,000
“pounds has been sold. Other for-
.eign countries report close competi—
tion for their wool clip. ,
Extraordinary high prices paid at
San Angelo, Texas—46 to 52 cents
a pound,———-for a 200,000 pound lot
of Texas wools were promptly re-
flected in the Boston quotations,
said a report to the Farm Bureau.
The market on June 1 was re-
ported to be keen for the fine wools
of the bright wool states, especially
in Ohio. Red Bluff, California,
growers refused 35.cents for their
clips. ,In'Montana high prices are
prevailing. There it is reported that
there are but 2,000,000 sheep in the
state as compared to 5,000,000 in
1902 and that it will take Montana
several years to get back to a nor-
mal wool production basis. Michi-
gan wools are in equally keen de-
mand. The State Farm Bureau re-
ports sales discount wools at 83
cents from the 1922 pool, said Mr.
Williams.

AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT AID
~ TO FARMERS

HE Australian government, sc-
Tcording to Cabled advises just

, received by the department of
Commerce from Trade ‘Commission-
er Sanger, has decided to assist
the pastoral industry this season by
a. subsidy
pound on beef. ‘

The Boun‘ties Act of 1907 provid-
ed for rates of bounty averaging
about 10 per cent of the market
value on ginned cotton, flax, hemp.
jute, sisal, cottonseed, linseed, un-
cleaned rice, raw coffee, tobacco,
dates, dried fruits, and wool tops,
with a limitation on the amount to
be assigned in any one year to any
one product. In 1918 an Apple
Bounty Act was passed providing
for payment of seven-tenths of a
penny per pound on apples grown
and evaporated in Australia and
sold to the Imperial government.

The assistance granted to the
producers of the great Auustralian
staples—wool, wheat. meat, butter
—-—during the war was quite differ-
entfrom a subsidy. All the r wool
produced in Australia from v the
middle of the 1916-17 clip to June
30, 1920, was «»-purchased by the
British Imperial Government at
16 1-20 per pound, and paid for,

. cash on delivery at Australian de-

pots. The Commonwealth ' govern-
ment advanced no money at all, but

more like .the' wool scheme than
the wheat, since the imperial gov-
ernment prohibited the export 'of
butter outside the dairy pool, but
made no advances to producers. A
similar arrangement, . but less in-
clusive, was made regarding meat
while the war was on.

In 1917 an interesting hay pool
was formed by the government
guaranteeing a price on alfalfa. The
alfalfa passing into the pool was
sold so soon to the Australian army
that the government was required to
advance\but a very small sum.

 

SWISS EAT AMERICAN sw1ss
CHEESE
E last three years have Wit-

nessed the invasion of the home r

of the world’s most. famous chees-
es——Switzerland—by the product of
cheese manufacturers,
and the Swiss cheeses have had to

make room forits foreign relation,,

according to Consul Murphy, at Lu-
cerne. The consul thinks that per-
haps this is temporary, but there is
no doubt that the constant improve-
ment of American types of , Swiss
cheese has‘had much to do with
and
other new markets. Swiss cheese is
not made exclusively in large man-
ufacturing establishments, but
throughout scores of small villages
and the uniformity of the
varieties is not obtained by any pro—
cess of manufacturing but is attri-
buted to a peculiarity in the fodder
eaten by the cattle in the various
districts.

 

AMERICAN WHEAT UNDERSELL. ‘

mo ITAFIAN IN ITALY
OTWITHSTANDING the present
unfavorable _exchange rates,
American wheat is now selling, in
Italy at much less than what the
government is paying for its national
grain. However the rest that is be—-
ing purchased is considerably ‘high—
er than grain coming from the
Black Sea regions, reports Vice—Con-
sul H. Earle'Russell at Rome, and
there is little doubt that if trade re-
lations with Russia are resumed
Italian merchants will for some time
confine their cereal purchases to

Black sea regions, at least as long -

as the dollar exchange continues so
unfavorable to them.

 

GOOD AUSTRIAN (MARKET FOR
AJKERIOAN FOODSTUFFS
HERE is a good existing market

in Austria now for‘ the following ,

commodities: wheat, wheat flour,
rice, lard and grease, linseed oil and
other oils, frozen beef, canned meat,
biscuits, condensed milk, honey,
animal tallow, glucose and starch.

AUSTRIA IN NEED OF noon
HE bottom of Austria's larder is
now about visible, according to a

report from American Trade Com-
missioner Upson in Vienna. Stocks
of frozen beef are exhausted and

immediate importation must be re-
sumed. This is due to the shortage
of cattle as a consequence of the
demand of the Allies that cattle be
delivered as reparations. . There is

a big demand for condensed milk”

and while some American milk is
being imported. the bulk comes
from Holland. Stocks of fats and

,lard are’ greatly decreased, about a '
.five weeks' supply remaining on

hand. American lard is, preferred
to other lards because of its good
quality“ and reasonable 'price. Grain

. T. FOSTER, weather ferecas'ter ‘for the

VI , ‘ Michigan Business Farmer has startled

weatherological circles by the announce-

ment that the drought now in progress In Europe

will prove the “most de‘éstructive European
drought that has occurred in 100 years.”

“The drought. will reach its greatest in June,

. July ‘and August,” says Mr. Foster, “and will be

so destructive that not more than one-third of
the usual average crops will survive in that vast
country covering alLEurope from Portugal to
Constantinople and all south of the British Chan-
nel and the Baltic Sea.” _

“Six months ago I sent the above forecasts of
the great coming catastrophe to 100 prominent
citizens of America and Canada, charging them to
tell no one. My purpose was that they might be
witnesses to the forecasts. I now releasethem
from privacy and ask' them to inform all their
neighbors, friends and the newspapers about the
facts of that forecast; That drough will end
during the fifteen days centering on October .8,
1922. ' ’

“Another most disastrous drouth will begin in
all of Australia during the fifteen days centering
on October 30, 1922 and at least two—thirds of
the crops of Australia will be destroyed during
December, January and February 1922-3. Their
crop season is during our winter. From one-
third to one-half of the crops in all the East Ind-
ias and.all,of Oceania west of meridian 180 will
be destroyed by this great drouth. - .

“My purpose in all this is to give the friends of
my work an opportunity. ' I advise that wheat
will go above $2.00 a bushel and Other grain in
proportion, by end .of September; that North
America must feed, Europe. That country, in-
cluding southern Russia, will need double the
amount of help that Russia has 'needed on ac-
count if its recent drouth. ’ _ '

“Now let the critics howl. They can find me
in Washington at any time, ready to defend my
weather forecasts before the public and this is
the time for them to put me out of business.

SMALLER EUROPEAN WINTER WHEAT
ACREAGE REPORTED

The area of winter wheat for 1921-22,
in European Countries for which figures are
now available. is 31,397,000 acres, accord-
ing to advice received by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This is 1,399,-
000 acres less than last‘year. The countries

, covered are Belgium, Bulgaria, Spain, Fin-
land, France, Pgland, Rumania, and Czecho
Slovakia.

The total area sown to rye for the sea-
SOn 1921-22, in the same countries, is 18,-
808,000 acres as compared with 15,067,000
last year. The increase occurs mainly in
‘Poland where the area sown to rye is 11,-
940,000 acres. as compared with 6,872,000
last year. Other countries show small de-
creases- ‘

 

tions, but of recent years I have only heard an
occasional mouse squeal from them.

“I correctly predicted every drouth that has‘

occurred in any part of the world during the past
five years, long in advance. The recent disastrous
RusSian drouth forecast was published six months
in advance. America will come next. A success-
sion of continental drouth’s lies before us and
there is no‘reason why the people should not
be better informed than‘ ever before on this
subject.”

Mr. Foster’s success in long range weather
forecasting is well known. Like all prophets he
is liable to error, and the gods of the elements
do not always obey his mandates. Nevertheless,
thousands of our readers have” testified as to the
correctness of his reports and their value in aid—
ing them to plan their farming operations.

Those who do not believe it possible to make

 

long-range weather forecasts are of course, not
in agreement with Mr: Foster’s prognostications,
but he has frequent occasion to silence his critics
by saying, “I told. you so.”

In connection with Mr. Foster’s predictions on
the European drought we have nothing to add,
nor do we necessarily endorse it because it is
printed here.

If the drought really reaches the extent pre-
dicted by Mr. Foster we shall feel extremely sorry
for the farmers of Europe, who lost much last
year by a drought which held some sections in
its grip for over three months.- But such a
drought would spell opportunity for American
farmers and create a market for an enormous
amount of food stuffs.

THE HIGH-PRODUCER PAYS

HAT it pays to keep high—producing dairy

cows in place of their less productive sisters
is clearly brought out in the findings of F. T.
?Ridell and S. J. Bro-wnell of the M. A. C. Data
gathered in the southern part of the state was
given to show the difference between the high
producers and the low ones.

Seven of the high producing herds were cem-
pared with seven of the low producers. In point
of money returns from dairy products anduthe
value of the yearly increase in numbers the high
yielders were the best business propositions-for
the farmers. The increase in value of the herd
increase stood $42.75 in favor of the better cows.

Cost of maintaining the poorer cows amounted
to '$178.94 while that for the high-producers
was only $157.93. This difference to some extent
was due to the lack of efficiency in feeding the
poorer cows. Returns from the better herds
showed even a greater variation over those of
the low—producers. The net returns in favor of
the high-producers was $97.10.——C. E. Johnson,
M. A. C. correspondent.

George B. Horton, Prominent Farmer and Grange Leader, Dead at77

 B. HORTON, agriculturist and pub-
licist, died Friday June 2, at his Fruit Ridge
‘ Farm after a sudden attack of heart failure.

’The Fruit Ridge man, widely known over the

state through his prominent association with the
Grange and by reason of his vigorous and out-
spoken attitude on all questions of public inter-
est, was aged.77 years. He had been suffering
with heart trouble for some time, but his strenu—
ous activity on the farm had kept him fit; he
carried his years well, and to the casual observer
who knew him he gaye'every indication of ‘ro-
bust health, says the Adrian Telegram.

Mr. Horton was perhaps more widely known
than any other man in'Lenawee county and his
work in the line of agriculture and its allied
industries had been such as to bring him prom-
inently before the people of the entire state and
frequently‘ot the nation.

'He' was/born in Lafayette township, Medina
county, Ohio, April 7, 1845, the son of Samuel
and Lucina A. Horton. “ f ‘ Samuel Horton came

to Michigan in 1853, settling inFairfield town- "

ship,,_Lenawee caunty, where he commenced the
manufacture of cheese for the—general market.
He was considered the pioneer cheese maker of
the state, and was very! successful in this field.

[remained at home with his parents and partici-
pated in the conduct of the farm. At the death of
his father he assumed all the responsibilities of
the farm and the cheese business. He purchased
the interests of the other heirs to the estate and
had since lived on the farm originally purchased
by his father. He added to it, however, until
his estate now includes more than 1,400 acres of
land in Fairfield and Seneca'townships. He was
particularly interested in farm forestation and
three pieces of woodland on the farm at Fruit
Ridge stand as one of the finest specimens of its
practice in the middle west. Bits of Michigan’s
great timberland preserved, theseacres of stately
woods were the pride of his heart. They were
monuments not only to the untiring forces and
processes of nature but as well as to the far-
sighted policy of a farmer and a son continued
through half a century of sWeeping change and

land the timber‘ could be cashed in for perhaps

Was a Leader in Civic Affairs

In addition to his farming, Mr. Horton found
time for an almost unlimited amountof outside
work, seeming to seek his recreation in doing
something that would be of lasting benefit to his
neighbors, his county andhis state; He was a
great lover of rural life, and was prominently
identified with "all movements and societies per-
taining-to farming. He joined in the Grange
movement at outset, became a charter member of

-.Weston Grange, now. known as Fruit Ridge I
,Grange, and‘served as itsemaster far 38’ years
and heldthat chair at his death. From the first

he gava the movement his best thought and effort
and contributed liberally in time, labor and-money
toward building and "furnishing ' Fruit Ridge
Grange hall, which stands on his farm, and which

is one of the most complete halls in the United
States. Its large library, museum, stage equip—
ment and general program work make it one of
the strongest educational forces in ’Fairfield and
surrounding townships.

Mr. Horton assisted in organizing the Lenawee
County Pomona Grange and was its master for
six years. In state Grange work he was also ac—
tive. In 1892, after serving six years on the state
Grange executive committee, he was elected its
Master and served in that office for 16 years until
1909. during which time the organization under—
went great expansion in membership and effort.
At the time of his election as Master of the State
Grange there were 210 subordinate granges in
Michigan, and When he retired from the chair
741) had been chartered with dues fully paid and
with a total membership (f about 50,000 farm
people. '

Mr. Horton was an organizer of the State
Dairymen’s Association and as its president and .
as Master of the State Grange he was a prime _.
mover in the demand for pure food regulations in
Michigan.

It was his original idea to so concentrate
and crystallize the general complaints of the
people regarding the inequality of State and lo-
cal taxation as to give the matter such/ promin-
ence as a public question as to force its recogui- r
tion and consideration by political parties and
the Legislature of the State. In the furtherance
of this plan, in his first annual address to the K,
State Grange, he urged the appointment of a tax_ 
statistician by authority of the state to collect?»
and compile such data regarding assessment and;

compelling justice in_ the matter. The State
Grange was the. chief promoter of equal taxation 
and'the prominence of (Continued on page. as)“,

 

   

   
  
        
       
     
     
       
   
   
     
     
  
   
  
  
   
 

     

      


  
    

 
      

EREST is keen in the horseshoe pitching
tOurnmen-ts which the Business Farmer Will
I ,put on this summer in co-oper-ation with the
ounty agents and the several farm organizations.
Scares of farmers are enrolling for these tourn-
aments through the Business Farmer and others
are signing up with their county agent. It
makes no difference, but all Who intend to throw
the shoes at the Farm Bureau, Grange and Glean—
er picnics this summer .should by all means en-
roll through the Business Farmer or their county
agent so that they may'qualify to pitch in the
district and, state tournaments if they win the
"county championship. The enrollment blank is
published again in this issue for the convenience
jot the horseshoe twirlers. Use it.

f Since the announcement of the tournament was
published in the May 27th issue a number of
"other county agents have signified their desire
to co-operate. Writing to assure us that Charle-
voix county will be among the boosters, county
agent B. O. Hagerman, says:

,“I have not seen .many of our men playing horseshoes.
Perhaps it is because their barn—yards are so hilly that
.unless the stakes were placed in the gully they would
roll away from instead of toward the stake. Please
send us a few more copies of the rules and we will en-
deavor to put this across in such a manner that such
men as Drake, Nash, Eaton and Kittle will realize that
they are mere infants in the proposition and still in
the Bush League.”

Mr. F. L. Simonton, agricultural agent of ’Ber-
rien County, pledges his support as follows:

‘Horseshoe pitching is one of the regular features on
the program of the Berrien County Farm Bureau Pic-
‘ nic. This feature was started with us last year. We
' would like about 50 copies of the National Rules. if
’you can spare that many. It is very likely that some
of our men will wish to compete in the contest. At
any irate they will be in practice in preparation for the

Kalamazoo Comes In

“Sure we are on !” says R. L. Olds. agricultural agent
at Kalamazoo. “We now have two ringers to the
good. I am very much pleased with your horseshoe
pitching tournament. We feel that we will have at
least two champion teams in this county. We are plan-
ning on having a county tournament at our mid-summer
picnic. Please send me twelve copies of the National
Rules. Thanks for this splendid opportunity."

Wayne Farm Bureau Favors Contests
0. I. Gregg, of Wayne County referred the
tournament idea to his executive committee and
received full authority to go ahead. “From indi-
' cations" throughout the county,” says Mr. Gregg,
“the other territories will have to hustle.”

N 1921 Michigan produced 27,000,000 bushels
of potatoes, ranking 4th in the U. S. in total
production. From a monetary standpoint,

the crop was 3rd in Michigan, only corn and hay
having a higher value. This money was the re-
turns on a crop which averaged 80 bushels per
acre. Occasionally a farmer, by an extra in—
vestment in fertilizer and bordeaux harvested ‘a
crop which was more than double that of the
average grower. .

j The value of commercial fertilizer is pretty
well established, but there are far too many po—
tato growers who after the plants have been
: given abundance of plant food, neglect to pro-
» feet the potato plants, in the belief, possibly,
7that “spraying does not pay.” Growers should
met'Iose sight of the fact that the greatest returns
from commercial fertilizer hinges to a very great
degree on thorough and proper spraying.

__ . While'there is still time to buy equipment and

’supplies necessary for the 1922 crop, it may be

worth while to show why the extra work of
spraying with bordeaux returns such great profits
and to give some figures taken this past year on
crops harvested in 1921.

Bordeaux spray serves two purposes. First, it
(tends to prevent blight if applied correctly and
regularly. Second, it repels insects such as the
leaf-hoppers, which are not affected by poison,

 

to the leaves, because they suckvthe sap from the

{instead of feeding on the leaf tissue.

Experiments Show How Proper Spraying Increases Potato'l’rofits

By no means should the figures given above
be construed to mean that-,fertilization is not
profitable, and to answer some of the questions
which will beasked regarding the effect of com-
mercial fertilizer on these 'yields, some figures
are given regarding the amounts used. Fortun-
ately a check plot was kept on one field (farm 17)
to which fertilizer had been appliied. Below are

HE ’ Dairymen’s

League Co-oper-

ative
tion, Inc. is just com—
pleting its first year
of successful opera—
tion. The story of
what it has accom-
plished should be of
the greatest interest
to farmers every-
where, for it has
proved beyond a
doubt that a farm-
er’s co—operative or-
ganization can be
successful if it is op-
erated on a sound
business basis and
has directing its ac-
tivities men of the
necessary business
, training and experi-
ence, co-operating with a staff of experts. The
success of such an organization, having nearly
70,000 active, producing members on its lists,
and transacting a monthly business of between
$5,000,000 and $6,000,000 a /month, should
serve as a great inspiration to existing or pros-
pective farmer’s associations, not only in Michigan
but in every state of' the Union.

GEO. W. SLOCUM
President and Master Mind

of the N. Y. Dairymens’
League Co-operative Associa-
tion, Incorporated

This remarkable organization is the outgrowth I

of the old Dairymen's League, Inc., of New York
State whose origin may be traced back nearly
twenty years. Way back in 1903 there was talk
among New York State dairymen of forming
some kind of an organization to improve selling
conditions. At that time the industry of the
state was in very poor condition. The cow pop-
ulation was dying off and the dairy farmer was
making the barest kind of a living. For of
course as in other sections where the dairymen
are not organized, they were compelled to accept
any price that was offered by the buyer for
milk. Nothing come of the idea, however, till
1907, when a mere handful of [farmers organized
the Dairymen’s League, Inc. The organization
grew gradually. till in the fall of 1916 it had a
membership of 13,000.

By that time the League felt that it was strong
enough to demand that it be given some say in
the price that its members were to receive for
their product, [and not be compelled to accept
anything the dealers offered, irrespective of
whether that price gave a fair return to the pro-
ducer on his investment, or even meant produc—
ing at a loss. The action of the League gave the
dealers a severe jolt. Here was an unpreced-
ented situation—~the producers were actually de-
manding that they be consulted in regard to the
price they were to receive for their product. But

CCORDING to Facts About Sugar, journal of
the American sugar producing interests, the
acreage contracted to sugar beets in the state

of Michigan is from 25 to 30 per cent less than the
1921 acreage. In no other state with the excep-

, tion of California has the loss been so great. In

some sections of California fully 50 per cent less
acreage has been contracted for this year than'
last. A complete report of sugar beet acreage for
the current year as taken from the above named
journal follows:

“Incomplete reports from beet sugar companies
in various parts of the United States indicate that
there will be a falling ofi of from 25 to 30 per cent
in the country’s sugar beet acreage this year, as
compared with 1921, says a statement issued by‘
the United States Sugar Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion. The decrease will be generally distributed

.over the beet :groWing states, some falling 'off being

indicatedby the reports in all sections where the

‘ one of the foods most necessary for the well-being

 

 

the dealers refused to agree to the figure the
dairymen submitted as a fair price. '

As a result what was known as the “milk
strike” came about, during which time the dairy
farmers held back their milk for two weeks.
Of course the affair caused more or less excite-
ment, some unthinking people condemning the
dairymen strongly, accusingthem of thus direct—
iy inflicting great hardship on city dwellers, and
especially the babies, by withholding the milk.

 
 
 
  

 
 

 
  
 

But of course there Was the other side of 
question; that the babies of the country were alsoé‘
to be considered and that it was unfair to ask
the farmer, who also had a family to support, to
sell milk at less than the cost of produCti-On.
Many city people do not seem to realize that it.
the dairy farmer cannot make a living cut of
dairying, .he will cease to produce more than he
requires for his own needs, with the result that

    
   
   
    
     
       
     
         

of the city dweller will, through the operatiOn.
of the law of supply and demand, not only be?
come scarce, but high in price as well.

The dairymen and the dealers finally came to
an agreement, however, and after 1916 the price—w
which the members of the League received for‘
their product was determined by conference be-
tween the dealers and the ‘League officials.

In due time came the World War. There was
of course an enormous demand for milk and milk
products, immense quantities of which were
shipped abroad. As a consequence there was a w
corresponding increase in the manufacture of
condensed milk and other dairy foods, till the. ‘
storehouses were packed full. The manufacturers ,
acted on the belief that Eureopean countries, 0
having destroyed many of their dairy cattle,
would have to turn to this country for dairy pro-
ducts after the war. Doubtless the manufactur-
ers reasoned correctly. (Continued on page 16)

not exceed 50 per cent of last year’s. Weather
conditions in most sections were adverse during
the planting season, on account of the unusual
amount of rain, and cold weather following the
rains tended to retard germination of the seed.
As a result of the marked acreage decrease, it
is expected that five of the twelve California
factories will not work this year. Three of the
five are Tracy, Chino and Southern California,
which were idle last season; the other two are
Manteca and either Huntington Beach or the
Dyer plant at Santa Anna, both of which belong
to the Holly Sugar Corporation. '

“In the Utah-Idaho territory, taking it as a
whole a decrease of about 22 per cent in acreage
is expected. Planting is from three weeks to a
month late, but recent reports say that the weath-
er is exceptionally fine, and what seeding has
been done has been accomplished under the most
favorable circumstances as far as preparation of

the seed-beds is concerned. From present indica—

tions it is probable that all the factories in these
two‘states 'will 'operate. ‘

“Colorado, which in \recent seasons has stood
first as a producer, will have an acreage about
20 per cent smaller than last year by latest ad-
vices. Weather conditions with respect to plant-
ing are reported excellent, and frequent showers
in most. sections produced unusually" good seed-

» beds, ‘but'in general the season is said to be about

two weeks late. With the exception of the La-

 

 

 

 
 
 
  
  
 
  
 
  
  
  
   
 
   
 
 
  
  
   
  
   
     
  
     
    

tories are expected to run. Lamar has been idle
for several seasons and Las Animas did not op-
erate in 1921.

“In the northern Rocky Mountain section, com--
prising Montana and Wyoming, the decrease in
acreage will be only about 20 per cent as com-
territory have been excellent for planting, and
pared with last year. Climatic conditions in this
late snows have assured a sufficient water supply
for irrigating purposes. Operation of all four '_.
factories in these states is planned. ,

“Coming to the Eastern beet territory. reports _
from Michigan, while incomplete, indicate a prob- "
able falling! off in acreage of from 25 to 30 per
cent. Delay on the part of the companies in puts.

The only way to remedy the mat-
ter in question would be to change
the law governing the election of
county school commissioners. The

, , county school commissioner is, at
"~’ the present time, a regular county
 ofl‘icer‘ and is elected as such. A
large part of the work he does in

WATERPROOFING BASEMENT

I have a basement with floor drain—
age and in times of high water it backs
6 up and runs in. I want to put a cement
floor into it. Is there any kind of stuff
’ that I can mix in the cement for water-
gggfoflng, and what is the best and cheap-
 coat of concrete and then painting with
coal tar hot and applying another coat
of concrete, but I am not certain that
4 would hold the water out—R. G. L.,
‘ Midland, Mich.
‘ The best~watervproofing which can
:1 be done for the ordinary Job with
.' concrete is the concrete itself. An
.1" ordinary thickness of floor made in
the proportions of 1 of cement, 2
of sand and 4 of gravel, thoroughly
mixed and placed, will produce
quite an effective job. However,
there are many ways in which one
 not accustomed to doing work of this
‘ kind may fail that even with the
l most careful directions an absolute
 watertight job cannot be guaranteed.
Perhaps a surer way of getting a
 , ‘ waterproof would be to make a
' ' floor about 4 inches thick of the
‘ proportions I have suggested above,
then cover this floor with several
layers of tar paper lapped one-half
: and thoroughly mop-pod over with
hot aSphaltu-m and also lapped to
the side walls of the basement. After
this is put on another thickness of
floor, perhaps, not more than 2 or
3 inches can be applied. It perhaps
should be said here that the side
wall can be plastered quite effect-
! ively with a plaster mortar made of
I 1 part cement, 2 parts sand with
about 1—10 as much lime by weight
. in the mortar as cement. With tar
l paper lapped over this plaster and
' an inner coating or thin walli of
cement applied high enough to pro-
tect the tar paper a reasonably
watertight job will be secured. It
, is hardly practical to use water-
: proofing compounds for a job of
this kind as its success depends as
‘ much upon the joints as it does up-
' on the material itself—H. H. Mus-
selman, Professor of Farm Mechan-
ics, M. A. C.

    
   
    
   
   
   
   
 
   
    
   
    
  
   
    
  
  
  
   
       
      
         
   
      
          
          
  
   
  
   
  
 
 
  

HYDROPHOBIA

If a dog bites a person in the winter
and then contracts hydrophobia the fol-
lowing summer, would the person also
contract this disease?——C. P. L., Rhodes,
Mich.

Will say hydrophobia is caused
by a definite organism which inoc-
ulates the wound at the time of the
bite, and as the period of incuba-
tion of hydrophobia is limited, it
would be very improbable to sup-

» pose that the animal was infectious
' some six months before the disease
was manifest; consequently, I should

COVERT ROAD PETITIONS

There is a summer resort started near
here and they are talking of putting a.
road through under the Covert Law.
Would the lots owned in the resort
count the same as farms along the high-
way in making the per cent as they
would have to have so many to sign
and quite a few of the lots lay along
said highway but there are no buildings
on them?—L. J., Gowen, Mich.

The statute specifically provides
that/the petition must have the sig-
nature of more than 60‘ per cent of
the abutting property owners, own-
ing land abutting the highway to be
improved, therefore,- the terms of
the act specifically includes the own-
ers of lakeside lots, and their prop-
erty would count as frontage the
same as any other property.

Do not misconstrue the above ex-
pression, the term 60 per cent
means 60 per cent of the property
abutting the highway and not 60

—per cent of the owners in number,

the term referring to linear meas-
urement of frontage rather than

people—Harry N. Partlow, State

FUMIGATING STORED GRAINS

Is there anything 'that will destroy and
preVentrgrain eating insects or worms
that are in the grain bin, without spoil-
ing the grain for use?——L. A. B., East
Jordan, Mich,

The treatment for dried grains
containing insects is comparatively

easy, providing the grain or seed is

,in tight bins or barrels, capable of

being tightly and quickly closed.
Old carpets, blankets, etc,~ often
will,be found useful in helping to'
make. the bins tight. , ,

Measure the inside ’of the bin,
counting in the, air space above the

grain, if the bin is not entirely full,

 

. and place somehow pans or plates, on

During ’sey‘ere cold. weather the in-
sects are dormant and resist the
action of the fumes quite successful-
ly. ~ ,

'If the seed or grain is more than

_ two or three feet deep. in the bin

the liquid should be poured into it
at some depth in order. to insure its
spreading evenly and filling all the
space treated. This is easily done
with a piece of gasspipe fitted with
a wooden stick for its entire length.
The pipe with the stick in place is
thrust down half way to the bottom
of the bin, the stick withdrawn and
the liquid poured down through the
pipe. The stick merely prevents the
pipe from becoming filled when
The bin should re-
main tightly closed for from twenty-
four to forty hours, a longer ex-
posure is likely to inure the germ-
inative power in some seeds. ‘

The liquid carbon bisulphide, on
being liberated, will be quickly trans—
formed into a gas, which being heav-
ier than air, settles to the bottom

 

   

 

6. I,” ,  tithirty' cents‘for-a single

poundpor five pounds for. a dollar.
The work must be done in the day
time, away from lamps, stoves or
fire of any sort. No fire must be
allowed to come near until every-
thing has been thoroughly aired for
the gas or fumes are very explosive
when mixed with air. Grain should
be shoveled over several times. Great
care must be observed to breathe as
little as possible of the fumes as
they are very poisonous and will as
easily produce death among men as
among insects.

Stored grains that have been
treated with carbon bisulphide have
to be aired for a long time to get rid
of the odor and for that reason this
work is usually left to the miller
who has facilities for accomplishing
this. However. sufficient airing will
get rid. of the scent in time. I
would say that it is unnecessary to
buy carbon bisulphide at drug stores

wherever she may be and she would
also be entitled to it the same if she

AM enclosing check for _ your
very interesting paper. While we
take several others. none hit the
nail on the head as you do on near-V
1y every important issue, and Uncle

. Rube handles the woman‘s dress
subject and the single and double
standard of' morals about right;

While there is always two sides to
all questions, if we can get a. fair
discussion pro and can we are not
going to go far from the right.

In your last issue your sugges-
tion as to Herb Baker as canddate
for the United States Sen-ate just
struck me right. If there is a man
or woman in Michigan who can
comimand more votes from “all
classes .of labor I don’t know who
they are. I never met him nor have
I ever corresponded with him, but I
have kept in touch with what he has
done as a legislator in our own state
and his record is clean and always
true to the best interests of all the
people in Michigan. Here is for
Baker, first, last, and all the time.
“By their works ye shall know
them.”—P. Miner, Saginaw Coun-
ty, Mich. ’

You have size Baker up right. He is
not a. man to pl y to the galleries. He
controls no newspapers to sing his prais-
es to the skies. He does what he thinks
is right no matter What the press and
the public may say. Every reader of
the Business Farmer_may feel sure that
the press has never exaggerated Bakw
er’s qualities. What little praise has
been given to him by the Michigan daily
press has in most cases been glven
grudgingly. Michigan farmers will make
no mistake to get behind Baker to a.
man—Editor.

 

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS

HE article entitled—“Is Bovine

Tuberculosis a Menace to Hu--

man Life”-—which appeared in
the May 15th issue of the Michigan
Business Farmer has come to our
attention.

It is noticed in your reply to Dr.
George H. Ramsey that you state:
“I cannot understand, Dr. Ramsey,
why if medical science has estab-
lished beyond a shadow of a doubt
the danger of Bovine Tuberculosis
to the human race, there should
not be Federal and State laws com-
pelling the testing of all cattle, and
the slaughter of reactors as soon as
it would be physically possible to
perform the work. Surely, there is
no justification from any stand-
point for pursuing the dilatory and
haphazard methods in eradicating
the disease which are employed
under the presentpptional laws.”

I wonder if the enormity of the
task which is confronting the auth-
orities who are attempting to erad-
icate tuberculosis is appreciated.
Let us illustrate, using our own
State for an example. We have ap-
proximately one and one-half mil-
lions of c attle, and three hundred.
veterinarians who have been certi-
fied by the State Department of Ag-
riculture as' being qualified to
conduct tuberculin tests, and most
of these veterinarians can devote
but a minor portion gof their time
to tuberculin testing. It would re-
quire several years with the present
available Operators to test all of the

‘cattle in the State once and one test

would. not eradicate the disease. It
would serve to locate the diseased
herds, but animals in those herds
which had been exposed prior to
the test would have to be removed
through subsequent tests. .
Woulda compulsory law at this
time help theysituat-ion? We believe
not. Such a law would be unen-
forceable. and a farce at the present
time, and a law which cannot be
enforced would hinder rather than
assist any project. We have no
doubt but —that laws compelling the
tuberculin testing. of all cattle in

  

soon as enforcement is possible.
We agree with you thatythe work _
should be performed, as soon as phyr

‘ sanitary- ' ‘

.ot forty-seven st

 

I cannot agree that dilatory and hop;
.hazard methods are being pursued.

   

The Federal satin" ' :'

Thirteen counties in this state
have appropriated funds with which
to co-operate with ,the Federal Bur,-
eau ct Animal Industry and State
Department of Agriculture in the
campaign for the eradication of tu-
berculosis from cattle. Work is un-
der way in eleven or the counties
and will be started in the other two
shortly. Other counties have signi-
fied intentions of entering the cam-i

   

paign. Three of the counties are .

practically tree from bovine tuber-
culosis at

diseased cattle. It this
work continues atflthe present rate.
does it not appear that soon we will
be in a position to enforce a state-
wide compulsory testing lsw? There

7 is every reason to believe now that

the work will ,shortly be made com-
pulsory in those counties in which
co—operative campaigns are being
conducted. ‘

The passage of laws or the ap-

propriation of funds will not bring _ there so as to associate and be on

about the accomplishment of a task
which it is physically impossible to
complete within the time specified
by you. And how could a. law' be
passed and successfully enforced
unless its creation had been demand—
ed by the people? The health auth-
orities have long since realized the
danger to the human race from in-
fected tubercular milk, but all of
the people do not as yet appreciate
the danger. 1

We” believe it is the duty of publi—
cations such as yours to procure
and place before the people the un-
biased facts. If you desire an im-
partial opinion that Was the result
of an exhaustive investigation, I

would suggest that you procure a“

copy of the report recently issued by
the District of Columbia Committee,
or Commission—B. J. Killham,
Chief Veterinarian, Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry.

We are surely glad to have Dr. Kill-
ham's thought upon this subject. In this
connection it is interesting to note that

the Holstein Friesian Register is pub-
lishing a series of articles by a noted

German chemist, w ho raises no ques-
tion as to the transmissibility of the
disease from bovines to humans but

does argue that the injecting of tubercu-

lin often starts the disease as well as
revealing its presence. Extracts from
those articles will be published from
time to time in our coli‘mns.~ A frank
discussion of the tub/Wc‘ilosis question
in all its phases can "0 no harm and

may bring us more. ‘i~ht.——Editor.

 

FOR A LAN D CLEARING ACT

hard for a person to build and clear
land and make a living at the same

. rm: rmvamSCHOOL-Qmsrros

IN your January 28th number there
is a letter headed “Farms are no

Melting Pot,” by Wm. ,Kerr, Bay
County. Mr: Kerr complains of his
foreign” neighbors not being able to
read or speak the American lan-
guage. Had Mr. Kerr moved to, say
Brazil, South America, he no doubt
would select a place where other
Scotch folks lived or‘at least Eng-
lish speaking. If any of his friends
wished, to emigrate there they no
doubt would settle near him.‘ W‘ould
these Scotch folks, grown men and
women, hurry over to the national
schools to learn the. language spoken

more friendly terms with their Bra-
zilian neighbors? .

I think in most cases it is the
fault of the individuals themselves
when they do not learn the language
of the country they live in. My par-
ents were German born but coming
from different parts of Germany,
first met in America. My’mother,

the eighth child in a family oi.’ flf—'

teen, was fourteen years of age
when she came to' this country. She
never attended school of any kind
here, yet she could write a better
English hand than either of her
children. In fact, better than half
of the public school teachers.

or the eleven children who came
to the United States five married

Germans, yet all that I knew could '

talk good English excepting one
girl who came to America four
years before the re‘st of the family.
She lived to be about sixty years

old yet talked very brokenly. The 5

same ‘with her husband who lived
to. be ninety odd years, the last
th1rty of which were spent entirely
among Americans, yet he never
learned to speak other than very
broken English.

I am not trying to criticise Mr.
Kerr’s letter for I thought it a very
nice letter. It is the editor's answer
which I did not like. .

The editor proceeds to blame the
Lutheran and Catholic churchesand
private schools in, particular. Now,
I know nothing about the Lutherans
but being 'a Catholic I do resent
your charge. ‘ - -

The separate school question is a
very live question just now. You
will find if you investigate that the
Catholic Church is very keen on
education, more so than the U. S. is
for she is much older. But for the
Catholic Church, little would be
known about the bible times or an-
cient history. She believes though in
educating the heart and the hands
as well as the mind. ‘

of what good is an educated mind
where the individual does not know
or care to live according to the ten'
commandments, who considers
might makes right, whose conscience
is either dead or sleeping? .

We have a whole lot of highly
educated criminals who want‘money'
without-work, political crooks, law-
dodgers, money grafters and grab—
bers who I think, it would be easier
to get' along with and much more
agreeable if theyhad neverlearned
the language of the U. S. A good
public school education I consider ‘a
fine thing to possess but it is not
a cure all for poor citizenship or be-
ing unnoighboriy. " . »  "

which to follow some other occu-
pation. , '
, It will be worth the editor’s time
it he visits several of our Catholic
schools and gets acquainted with
their work. He will find there a
more thorough and intensive way of
instructing than ,is used in most of
the public schools. Each child’s na—
tural talents are encouraged.

While in the German consulate at
Copenhagen you met a young wo-
man who could speak no English.
You do not say it you inquired the
reason why she could not talk Eng—
lish. There may have been a good
reason; such as ill health or some-
thing like that. Apparently she was
going to Germany to live. If such
was the case she would have but
little use there for a yankeeeduca-
tion. For some reason or other she
may have ' been considered and
educated as a German citizen and
for some unknown reason was not
returned to Germany sooner.

Under a separate cover I am
mailing to you several marked
articles on the subject of Catholic
ideals on education. You may be a
very busy man but the time you use

.to read the articles you will find not
wasted.—-—Mrs. E. A. Breen, Missau-
‘kee County, Mich.

Happy is the man who can make him-
self understood. In the comment to
which you take exception. dear reader,
there was not a single criticism of the
curriculum that is taught in the English
parochial school, and by English I mean
the school in which the English language
is the class language. The obJection was
to the failure of many parochial schools
located in sections dominated by foreign—
speaking peoples to break away from the
alien tongue and educate their charges
to read and recite in English. You may
be able to offer an excuse for a native-
born American growing to womanhood
without learning a single word of the
English language, but I cannot. The
parochial school question is, indeed. a
live one, but it wouldn't be so into if Ithe
WI mention above taught more
English and less German and Polish. You
overlook the fact that the Business Farm-
er opposed the school amendment and
got a lot of criticism as a result. You
also overlook the fact that in the article
you mention we paid a high tribute to

. the average settler of alien birth. _ We
have never had any oecasmn to question
inequality of the instruction' offered in
parochial schools. It may be on a
with that of the'public schools, but we
motion your statement that it is better.

The pa were received and read With

interest. However. they contained noth-
ing new as we were already familiar
with the attitude of Catholics upon edu-
cation. It is a pity that the school ques-
tion cannot be discussed impassiv‘ely and
fair-mindedly without causing super—sen-
sitive persons to feel that their religious
rights are being trespassed upon.—
Editor.

But even if what he said were true,

if that five million is paid by people

[who are not hearing their share of

the burden would it not be a long
and firm step in the right direction.

_I want Mr. John Lovett, paid hire—

ling of the big corporations, and
self-styled economist and tax re—
trencher” to show us how we are go-
ing to do any great amount of re—
trenching in taxes when the state
and practically every county and
many school districts and villages
are bonded right up to the limit al-
ready. Why the item of interest on
bonds in many localities is more
than all the taxes amounted to 12
years ago. In the last fifteen or
twenty years Michigan 'has jumped
from the 22nd state in the Union
in Wealth to the sixth. This being
true is it not appalling to think that
the same old property, namely the
farms and homes of the state are
paying from three to the times the
amount of taxes that they were a
few years ago.

Where is all this extra wealth
that we boast about. The most
vital problem confronting the peo—
ple of this state is to bring this
wealth from the secure hiding place
it has always had in the rear, up to
the front line trenches where it will
be forced to keep up its end. If we
fail «in our battle to bring this about
it means that practically all new
improvements in Michigan . will
have _to be abandoned for years to
come for home owners and farmers

strain.

Michigan stands right at the top
of the list of states having the great-
est number of renters. Sixty per cent
of the population of Detroit is rent-
ers. It is true that renters indirect—
ly pay taxes. Any system of taxa-
tion that would relieve the burden
upon real estate will automatically
reduce rents. Every renter in the
cities should be heart and soul be-
hind the State Income Tax.——Peter B.
Lennon, Genesee County, Mich.

You have stated the situation in a

the income tax is the rope to pull us out.

Preparing and
Loading the Charge ,

CUT FUSE of a length sufficient to project six inches from
top of hole. Be sure cut is made squarely across fuse,
not diagonally. Remove one blasting cap from box with
the fingers. (Do not use a wire, stick or any other hard
implement.) Next, slip cap on end of fuse, and crimp se-
curely with cap crimper. (Clover Brand recommended.)

Punch a hole diagonally in sideof cartridge with pointed
handle of cap crimper, and insert cap with fuse attached.
To keep cap from slipping out, tie a string around fuse an
then around cartridge. »

If the charge is to consist only of the primed cartridge,
place it directly in the bottom of the hole made beneath
the stump. For a larger charge, slit the other cartridges—
unleas the ground is wet—press them down into the bottom
of the hole, andload the primed cartridge last. Cap should
point toward bottom of bore hole.

The subsequent steps in stump blasting will be described
in future issues of this paper.

living by being funny?

les L.,Archbold, who probab-
ly holds the world’s recOrd for the
number of funny things said,’
clares that the “being funny” life
is a great one, and that only the first
hundred are the hardest.

You've chuckled over his wit as it
appears upon the slate of the pop-
eyed school kid,who stands before
garages and gas stations. The kid
has been standing there for about
eight years and judging by the num-
ber of folks who are chuckling at
him and watching for his latest re-
Imark, he probably will be standing
there as long as Charles Archbold
can hold a pencil ,and see folks, for
he declares that he can ’keep going
just as long as he has his eyes and
ears.

The boy giggles at the world in
thousands upon thousands of spots
the country over, but wherever he
stands he says the same thing. He
said to the fur clad traders under the
Artic circle, “What if it’ does go
dO'Wn to zero—‘that’s nothing!” the
very same day that he said it to you,
and the fur traders and peeking
Eskimos who beg for the boy’s trans—
lations into their own tongue, laugh-
ed as much as you did.

“A jo-ke’s a jo‘ke the country over,’
says Archbold, who has written prob—
ably some five thousand of them and
who is said to have fallen heir to
the mantle of the late John Kend-
rick Bangs. “It doesn’t much mat-
ter where people live or what col-
or they are, they all have the same
human problems and that’s why I
know that if my jolke works on the
office staff it’s going to work on
those folks who go to the Hudson
Bay Co’s most northern trading
post.” ,

Every other day the office staff
crowds about it‘s own boy and
blackboard just behind the switch-
board, and watches Archbold chalk
on his latest. Then Archbold keeps
his back turned and listens. If the
explosion comes in shattering crash-
es, if it reverberates and echoes and
makes pandemonium until the man-
ager himself tpeeiks out from his
lair and gets in on the fun, the fath-
er of the day’s wit knows that all is
Well with the world. But if only a
polite ripple of hilarity greets his off—
spring, Archbold just uses water,
shows no hurt feelings, and tries an—
other.

Tom Mason says that every hum-
orist should have at least one wife.
Charlie Archbold says that it’s saf-
er to use the staff as an experiment
station. Since the office slate greets

“There will never be civilization
awhere comedy is not possible,” says
George Meredith in his famous es-
say on “The Uses of the Comic «Spir-
it.” If this rings true, our own city
must be the most civilized place in

the world, for these funny sayings
which delight millions of people
spring from Archbold’s interpreta-

tion of things and folks right here.
“I live and thfn’k in epigrams,”
he says, “I Listen to girls on street
cars. I go to dances just to look a-
round and listen. I join clubs and
get all the social life I can. I read
much, especially popular magazines
and books which the mass at large
is reading, for ‘my thoughts. I real-
ize that the things that may make

“Arch” says the big hit of the
hour is still prohibition, with auto—
mobiles a close second. His most
quoted, prohibition wheeze appeared
On the slate, the United States over
on a certain famous July 30. It read,
“‘Tomorrow is the Thirsty First of

Later prohibition hits were:

“Prohibition agents find

' “A watched still never brews.”
“Too many crooks spoil the brew.”
His liberal use of familiar pro-

verbs and e'pigralms which he turns

into something different proves

'Bergson’s statement that a comic ef-

fect is invariably produced when an

' We must clearhr sta’te, however,
that “Charlie” or “Arch” as he is

most often called, imalkes no claim to

any philosophy of laughter and
mirth. He tells his story something
like this:

“I am a Hoosier product, born and

A glimpse through this wheeze

his jokes are sweeping the'country
and proving one of the biggest ‘ad-

furious and just then happened to

,. LOOSE-COUPLER, VARIOMET-
.1938 AND VACUUM TUBES7
EFORE we take up the making"
' of a vacuum tube receiving set

there are several different
things we should know about radio
receiving; thesewe will take up now

and again later" in the season add «a

little to our working knowledge.

, The tuning coil that-We described

in a previous issue is used for the

tuning of the incoming waves to the
particular wave we wish to hear;
however, a small tuning coil is not
very “selective”, as all stations that"
are transmitting 0n the same wave
length and are within your receiving
range are heard at the same point of
tuning on this coil; also stations
that may be on a slightly different
wave length. When you consider
that there are hundreds of stations
now broadcasting on 3‘60 meters,
that should you be where you could
hear two or ,more of them you would
lose all the pleasure of receiving if
you heard both at the same time.

This is what you would have if you

should have a vacuum tube detector

with a tuning coil, but should you
use ‘a loose-coupler or variometers
then you could select the one station
that you Wished to hear and not lis-
ten to the other one at all.

a: I! III

Strange to say that although all
these stations broadcast on 360 met-
ers, not any two of them are.tuned
to exactly (and when I say exactly I
mean exactly) 360 meters. Some
are 3601/2; others are 359 or 361,
and only with an instrument that
will~give you the exact tuning can
you select the one that your want.

A loose coupler is made from two
separate coils, each tuned in turn
to the incoming wave, and by separ—
ating the coils to a certain degree
one can tune to an exact wave length.
We will describe the making of such
a coil in a later article, as the sharp-
er and more selective tuning is nec-
essary with a bulb detector.

t It It

A variometer is a combination of
two coils,. one of 'which revolves
within the other and connected to—
gether so that the wave length is
changed frbm zero to the full
amount of bothcoils. This is caused
by the fact that the incoming waves
of one coil can be made to oppose
the other and so have a zero wave
or by adding the wave length of one
coil to that of the other gradually
the full wave length of both coils
can be used. A variometer will give
sharper'tuning with less adjustment
than a loOSe-coupler but until one
becomes accustomed'to it, it is a lit-
tle harder to tune with as it will
tune very sharply. The best radio
receiving sets made nowgdays all
use variometers in various forms,
all of which work on the same prin-
ciple.

t t‘ t

A vacuum tube detector is a de-
tector which uses a highly exhaust—
ed glass bulb in which are mounted
three elements, a filament, a grid
These so-called tubes
or bulbs are made by a special pro-
cess which exhausts all the air, and
in some makes of tubes there is a
little gas of~a secret ,nature admit-
ted; these latter tubes are called
“soft” tubes as they, are a little
more sensitive than the‘ “hard”
tubes which contain no gas.

The filament of the ordinary tube
is heated by an electric current of
6 volts, generally secured from a
storage battery..or ordinary dry cells.
The battery for this purpose is cal-
led the “A” battery. , '

If a seperate battery of 221,5
volts is connected see that the pos-
itive end is connected to the “plate”

of the vacuum tube and the negative v
of the battery to one of the termin-‘

als of the “A” battery orifilm‘ent
and the‘current turned on of the
“A” battery 30. that the filament is

, heated, then across the space. be-

tween the filament and plate ( n ,‘the

phone) in a radio receiving set is
called a “B” battery. ' ,

The ~“gird” in the vacuumfitube is
connected to one side of the tuning
set and the filament to the other
side of the tuning set. In this man—
ner the gird acts as a valve and so
controls the flow of the “B” battery
current from the filament to the
plate. ‘ ,

This gird is usually a coil .of fine
wire placed between the filament
and plate and so arranged that it
effectively controls the flow of B
battery current, the slightest addi-
tion or subtracion of an elecric im-
pulse on the gird permits more or
less B battery current to pass across
' the space between filament and plate
.and thru the telephone and makes
this form of detective' very much
more sensitive than a crystal for de-
tecting weak radio signals.

 

CRYSTAL SET PICKS UP OCEA'N
, LINERS

I have owned and operated a radio
receiving set for about three years, using
a 3500 meter 'loose coupler, crystal de-
tector, or .001 M. F. D. varible condenser
which can be switched in or out of ser-
vice with primary circuit and a like
condenser in the secondary circuit. I
started out with all instruments separate
but have since rebuilt the outfit onto a.
panel 12x18 inches.

With my present set and an aerial 30
foot above ground and composed of three
wires spaced 2 1-2 feet apart and 150
feet long I am able to copy NAA, Arling—
ton, Va., in daytime with case also have
heard ocean liners and naval ships. What
is the approximate wave length of my
aerial? Whatwould be the wave length
if aerial were raised to a height of 50
feet? Could amateur stations be heard

at that height by use of the series con—-.

denser or would it be necessary to short-
en aerial? What advantage ‘in amrpli-
fication and sensitiveneus would Weag-
ant’s circuit illustrated on page 102,
figure 68 of Bucher's ‘Vacuum Tubes in
Wireless Communication,” have over a
plain tube circuit having no coil or con-
denser in plate circuit? Could you tell
me which would give most amplification,
a two step audio-frequency amplifier or a,
four stage resistance coupled amplifier?
How many steps of either of these kind
of amplifiers would be necessary to make
radiophone signals bearable thruou't a
room size 15x30 feet, when using a loud
speaker constructed from a Baldwin re-
Ceiver amplifier unit and receiving at a
BOO-mile distance‘b—R. C. F., Kingsley.
Mich. ~

The best circuit is the circuit that
works best for you. I use two differ-
ent ones; the regenerative circuit
using a tickler coil in the plate cir-
cuit, also a variometer tuned plate
circuit, both of these circuits work
better as you become used to them
and find the proper manipulation to
get best results. They will receive
both spark and C. W. telegraph as
well as telephone. V

If the total length of your aerial,
flat-top and lead—in wire and ground
connection is 150 feet the approxi-
mate wave length is 218 meters. To
raise it 20 feet more w'ould add
about 50 meters. If the flat top is
150 feet the lead-in 30 feet the ap—
proximate length is 260 meters. Ama-
teurs could be heard at the new
height with a series condenser in the
aerial or ground lead.

Tuning of the plate circuit, or the
use of a tickler coil in the plate cir-
cuit actually amplifies several hun-
dred times, whereas the simple cir-
cuit only detects. A trial will con-
v1nce you that the signals are much
louder.

The amplification difference be-
tween resistance coupled amplifiers
and audio-frequency amplifiers is

. purely a matter of taste. The stan-
dard radio amplifiers on the market
are audio-frequency, which on the
whole would suggest that they are
preferred for simplicity. The exact
ratio is a matter of doubt amongst
the experimenters, it is certain that
the resistance type reguire more care
in construction and do .not appeal
to the . average radio experimenter
except as an experiment to try. I
believe yOur two stage audio fre-
‘quency will give you as much ampli-
fication as the four stage resistance
3coupled amplifier. Would'

: that you try one step of each and
[compare results, as the particular

, constants of a circuit affect the work-
,ginjg of amplifiers. Two steps of audio-

,‘vjf'nequenc‘y amplification with the
',':B§._ldwin loud speaker should enable

,you to,.hear ‘the' music..over a room

Is the, Prohibition Sentiment Waning?

UREN Dickinson, former lieutenant gov-

ernor, warns the people of Michigan that
unless they are on the alert, foes of prohibi-
tion will succeed in putting across a lightwme
and beer amendment this fall in a test vote.
But Dr. Waltman of the Anti-saloon League
has no such fears. He believes that a test vote
would show a much larger percentage against
wine and beer than was cast in 1919 when 530,-
000 votes were cast against the measure and
but 330,000 for it.

We believe that Dr. Waltman has the situ-
ation sized up right. The wet crowd is domg
a lot of talking and getting a lot of space in the
daily newspapers with wet leanings. But
there is positively nothing to indicate that the
great masses of people are dissatisfied W1th pro-
hibition or desire to see any letting down of the
bars. Attempts to hold meetings under the
auspices of the Association Opposed to the
Eighteenth Amendment in cities outside of Del;-
roit have met with dismal failure. In Mount
Clemens, a city which was notoriously wet in
the old days, less than thirty appeared at a
wet banquet prepared for eighty.

Little stock can be laid by the scant surface
indications of dissatisfaction with the prohi-
bition law. The dictums of society have al-
ways been flouted by a certain lawless minor-
ity which stoops to any method to gain its ends.
From the day the prohibition amendment
went into effect this minority aided by a hand-
ful of “personal libertines” have been stirring
up a lot of dust. But it, is onlya gentle sum-
mer zephyr and will never attam the propor-
tions of a Kansas cyclone. ‘

The great mass of people are saying nothing.
Little is heard of the reunited. families, the re-
juvenated homes, the substantial bank deposits.
the decrease in crime, disease and poverty, and
other beneficent results of prohibition; But
people whose minds are not governed by their
stomachs and are therefore able to think clear-
ly realize the benefits of prohibition and Will
rot be swayed by any specious arguments to
lessen or destroy them. Let a test vote come.
It will prove to be the clinching nail 1n J oh
Barleycorn ’s coffin. I ‘

‘ That Pig Survey

ARMERS are divided in~their opinions of

the Wisdom of the “pig survey” which the
U. S.’Department of Agriculture has just com-
pleted. Ever since the government began the
gathering of statistics on the annual produc-
tion of farm products farmers have engaged in
heated debates as to whether the government
was not intruding on forbidden ground and
whether the information so gathered and pub—
lished at public expense did not reveal scorets
of the farm industry to the detriment of the
farmers and the benefit of the middlemen.

Excellent arguments can be presented on
both sides, but whenever the subject is. broach-
ed we are reminded of the old adage that “a
little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” Up to
the time the government began gathering crop
statistics the farmers knew so little about their
business that they marketed blindly and un-
wisely. Great corporations, however, who
dealt in farm products, had their own private
sources of information which no matter how
incomplete gave them some idea of the poten-
tial supply and the probable, demand, To say
that, the issuance of crop statistics mitigates
against the farmers’ chances to dispose of
their crops at the best advantage is to confess a
lack of study of the subject.
\ The same arguments will apply to the pig
survey. Undoubtedly the packers have had
a fairly clear idea of the annual pig crop for

years back long before it was harvested and ‘

were guided accordingly. The farmers know-
ing little or nothing of the probable produc-
tion, were likewise guided accordingly. Which
think you, profited, the most?

In making its pig survey, the Department of
Agriculture is taking a wise and forward step.
But it. too, must remember that a little know-
ledge is a danger thing. Incomplete or in-
correct statistiCs are worse than no statistics.
A job of this kind if worth'doing at all is worth
doing well. If the government is equipped to

gather concet’and complete statistiCS it should .
do so, but if not, ‘twere better that the annual V

pig crop were “born unseen.”

, ‘ Take Time To Play
HIS is going to be a very busy summer
. among the farmers. Farm help is going
to be scarce again and many farmers can’t af-
ford to hire it when it can be had. Farmers
have got to work, harder if possible to produce
the largest maximum yield at the smallest

cost, in order to make 'up for the lower prices.

Farmers who a. couple” years ago had visions of
soon “taking life easy” must revise their plans
and increase their efforts Hard work, hurts no
one. It is drudgery that tires the muscles and
destroy man ’s spirit. Hard labor day in and
day out with no respite will'turn the best of

Saginaw County, Mich.

kind of familiar. Oh, yes, labor

pirations, hasn’t he?
what he stands for:

“I am for reduction of taxes. I am
against tax.exempt securities. I am in
favor of the repeal of the State Corpora-
tion Tax. I am against the one-cent a
gallon Gasoline Tax. I am against the
Personal Income Tax. I am against the
proposed Depository Tax. I am against
the proposed Stamp Tax or any other un-
necessary tax."~ ' 5

In even plainer English Mr. Flet-
cher is against any tax that levies
against wealth and is for perpetuat-
ing the tax burden on the backs of
home owners and farm owners.

‘Mr. Fletcher is also, opposed to
“high” salaries for state officials.
Does he mean
it? Let the record speak.

On page seven of the May 19th
(1919) issue of the Michigan Busi—
ness Farmer we find this interesting
account written by State Senator
Herbert F. Baker, who “lifted the lid
at Lansing’ ’for the benefit of Busi-
ness Farmer readers:

“Early in the session (of 1919)
“Dick” (R.,H. Fletcher, labor com-
missioner) had the boys pass a bill
extending his term of office from two
to four years. This bill was voted

‘down decisively in the House but

“Dick” had it reconsidered and laid
on the table. Then he went to work
to show the fellows the merit of that
old slogan. “never say fail,” and
when the bill was taken off the table,
it went through by a nice majority.
If the roll call had been delayed one
minute longer, he would have had
the man who led the fight against

— the bill the first day, voting with him

at the last.
' “On the next to the last day of
the session all members or both
houses were invited to a fish supper
at the“ Labor Bureau’s rooms and
everybody went. There was an ad—
equate supply of splendidly fried
perch, bread, bevo, ginger ale, pick-
les and cigars. It was like a Polish
wedding. It must have cost “Dick”
at least two hundred dollars. Every-
body was ready to swear by “Dick.”

“The next and last day of the ses-
sion. a little bill came ambling along
bearing a distinct odor of fish. in-
creasing the salary of the labor com-
missioner one thousand dollars a

tHELPS FOR JELLY MAKING
 order to make jelly it is nee-'-
iessary to have a fruit juice that is
3 acid and that contains a substance
called pectin. ' _
Pectin is a vegetable substance of
starch origin and gives to the juice
'it’s gelaltinizing property, that is,
‘makes it jell. The amount of pectin
present tells you not only whether

 

. sugar should be used so it is well
.for the housewife to determine the
amount of pectin present in the fruit
 juice she wishes to make into jelly.
Here is a simple test.
 Mix together 1 tps. cooked fruit

juice, 1-2 tps. sugar, 1—4 tps. Epsom
7v salts: Stir until dissolved, let stand
’five minutes. If the mixture sets
 'into a jelly within this time it is a

good jellying juice.

If the presence of pectinis not

shoWn it may be, by adding pectin

made from orange or apple (recipe
-follows:) A large per cent of pectin
calls for 3—4 to 1 cup of sugan to 1
cup of juice.

If a small amount of pectin is pres-
ent less sugar may be used.

Too much sugar makes a syrupy
jelly—sweet apples and red currants
make a fine jelly, also quince and
tart apples.

The test for pectin is desirable
but not essential. Fortunately many
fruit juices contain pectin and acid

,jell more readily than others. Some
;~of the easiest fruit juices‘ to make in-
‘to jelly are apple, crab applevgrape
I (partially ripe). raspberry, blue-
. , berry, gooseberry and currant. Fruit
' juices that do not jell alone, such
as strawberry, peach, pear, pineap-
ple, cherry, etc., may be“ combined
with one of the fruit juices which
does jell easily. ‘

 The following table gives about
the proportion of juice and sugar for
' some of the fruit juices:

Grapes (partially ripe) 1 cup
juice, 3—4 to 1 cup sugar; raspberries
" g 1 cup juice, 3—4 to 1 cup sugar; cur-
,rants 1 cup juice, 3—4 to 1 cup sugar;
Siblackberries 1 cup juice, 3-4 to 1
'cup sugar; tart apples 1 cup juice,
-1-2 to 3-4 cup sugar; crab apples 1
cup juice, 1—2 to 3—4 cup sugar; cran-
'berries 1 cup juice, 1-2 to 3—4 cup
sugar.
" How to Extract the Juice

1. Cook juicy fruits in
amount of water.
_ ‘ 2. When fruit” has come to boil-
ing point mash with paddle or wood-
on masher.

’5’" 3. Pour into jelly bag or flannel
‘.-or double thickness of cheese cloth
and let drain. (To hasten the pro-
, eess the juice may be squeezed out
‘ but this will make the jelly cloudy.
- If simply allowed to drain, the juice

 

small

“gives a very clear jelly.) _
A second extraction may be made
by adding more water and letting the
truitboil again for a few minutes.
Strain as before. Before any sugar
is added this juice should be boiled
down until it .has about the same
1) tin content as the first extraction.
Instead of making more extrac-
tato' ‘s of juico, one may take the pulp

One pound apple. skin and cores.
Juice of 1 lemon. One quart water.

through a heavy flannel or hair cloth
bag without pressure. Bottle the
juice process for 15 minutes in a
water bath in boiling water and keep
until it is needed for jelly making.
Use as orange pectin.

Apple Jelly

Apple jelly is mild in flavor—try
putting a rose geranium leaf which
has been dipped in boiling water, in
the bottom of the glass. A piece of
“green ginger root, or lemon cut up
and added to apples while they are
cooking, will add to the flavor.

Mint Jelly

Mint jelly may be made by adding
a handful of fresh crushed mint
leaves to the apples while cooking
or mint extract to the juice. Add a
very. little green vegetable coloring
to the juice after straining. This
makes a very attractive jelly.

if we all would send in our favorite re-

. cipes and helpful hints we could help our

Mrs. Jenney make it a better page. it
made me feel as if I was a cheap skate
for not trying to do my hit. As I am a.
mother of six I don’t always find time
to write but feel as if I should once in
a. while. I will send my favorite cake
recupe. and this is one of my most help—
ful hints. When you get new underwear
sew around the button holes 3 or 4 times
with the sewing machine then the button
hole will always keep its shape and will
last longer than the underwear.

   VACATION
v OBERT

.

WINSLOW and Harvey
Morse. .choolmates at the
Centre district school, were

‘homeward bound with their books

under their arms and dinner pails

swinging by their sides. ‘
Harvey stopped. and looked back

the way they had come. It was the

last day of school and but a few mo-

- ments, ago they had bid their teach-

er goodby. They had gone only a-
bout a quarter of,a mile and as the
schoolhouse was in plain view .Har-
vey could see several of the children
still gathered aboutthe teacher in.
front of the schoolhouse.

“I enjoy my school Work,” he re-
marked “but_it will seem good to
have a vacation, and I have so many
things I Wish to do.”

Robert stopped and
friend. i

“That’s just the way I feel about
it.” He hesitated a moment and
then continued, “but I am certainly
going to have a lot of fun this sum-
mer.”

Harvey began to inquire about
Robert’s plans as they resumed their
walk home. . '

“Oh, I have so many things I
Wish to do that I can’t think of all
of them, I am going to’ visit my
cousins who live in the city. I am
going on a camping trip for about a
month with Tommy and Arthur
Lihdsey and I am going to build a
radio and play——-and play.”

“Is that the way you intend to
spend your vacation? I do not see
how you are going to have much fun.
How will you keep busy?” His
friend wanted to know.

There was, a surprised look on
Robert’s face as he inquired, “How
are you going to Spend your vaca-
tion so that you have a good time?"

“For one thing I am going to have
a good time helping others,” was
the reply.

“Whit do you mean. by that?”
Robert asked. ‘

“Well,” continued Harvey. “I am
going to help my father all I can
with his Work and help mother by!

faced his

bringing the water and wood for her .

and do considerable work in my field
of corn ‘cause I would like to win the

State chamlpionshilp in Corn Club
work this fall if I can. I also
belong to the Calf Club and, the

care of my calf will take quite a bit
of my time. And I too want a radio
so if I have any time left I shall
make one.”

The boys had been walking quite
fast and were now but a few yards

from the driveway leading into the ~

yard of Harvey’s home;

Robert seemed to “be thinking
deeply and as Harvey turned in at
the gateway he stopped.

“I believe you ‘are right, Harvey,”
he said; “and I am wrong. I be-
lieve you will have more fun than
I if I spend my vacation the [way I
have planned."

He started doWn the road again
but after going only a few yards
turned and called to his friend,
“Say Harvey, I’m coming over to see
you tomorrow and talk some more
about this vacation, I know I can
help both mother and father a lot,
and I'll begin tonight. Goodbye.”
And waving his hand he disappear—
ed in a cloud of dust.—,—UNCLE NED.

 You pay for a I

 DE LAVAL

 1: whether you buy one
4 or not

 If you are using a worn-

’ ». out, inferior cream separator,
or skimming cream by hand,
you are surely wasting
enough cream to pay for a De
Laval in a short time.

The selection of a cream sep-
arator is more important than
that of any other machine on
the farm, for none other can
either save or waste so much,
twice a day, 365 days a. year.

A De Laval Separator will:

i—-<Snkim cleaner for many
more years than any other;

- —Skim milk clean at lower
temperature than any other

separator; V
—Deliver a higher testing
cream, which is more accept-

able to the creamer-y, and cas-
ier and less costly to ship.

—And deliver a cream which
will make better butter.

Mechanically a De Laval sep-
arator is the best that fine ma-
terials and skilled workman-
ship can make.

—It lasts longer than any
other separator, many giving
good service for 15 to 20 years.

-—It is easier to turn.

-—It is easier to clean.

—.-It is so simple that one
tool will set it up or take it
down.

—It has the most perfect
lubricating system.

Do not be deceived by sep-
arators which are claimed to
be “just as good and cost less.”
When you consider its greater
savings, greater reliability,
longer life, the extra time it
saves, and the greater satisfac-
tion it gives, the De Laval is,
in the end, by far the most eco-
nomical cream separator made.

Even if you ‘have only two
cows it will phyyou to have a
’De Laval. One can be bought
on such easy terms that it will
pay for ,itself in less than a
year. Why not see your De La-
val agent at once or write us
for full information?

but‘ one thing" they failed‘_
that was the itreniendous drop in ex-
change. European countries, with
their currency all gone to smash,
could not afford to pay the prices
asked by American manufacturers,
prices based on materials bought at
war figures, thisreferring not only
to the milk itself but also to sugar
(used in condensed milk,) cans,
etc., as well as labor and other pro-
duction factors.

With the
closed to them, many manufacturers
cut down production materially;
others shut down altogether: in
fact is said.that when the war end-
ed there was $100,000,000 worth of
condensed milk, milk powderand
similar goods in the warehouses, for
which no adequate market was avail-
able. With this outlet cut off, the
supply of loose milk which came in-
-to the New York market was natur-
ally greatly increased. To make
matters worse, many farmers, un-
able to dispose of their grain at
a fair price, turned it into milk by
feeding it to their cows, thus still
further increar‘sing the over supply.
The result was a flooding of the
market, with a. consequent deplor-
able slump in price.

It then became clear to the direct—
ors of the League that it was not
enough for the organization to act
merely as a selling agent; it must in
addition be able to protect its mem-
bers from the consequences of a
glutted market, a condition which
was almost certain to be repeated
from time to time and which in the
case of a. highly perishable-corm-
modity like milk was bound to mean
the loss of thousands of dollars to
dairy farmers.

The obvious answer was that the
organization must not only act as a.
selling representative, to supply the

 

to increase that demand, as well as
find a way to convert the surplus
milk into such form that it can be
disposed of in new markets, or held
pending an increased demand.

Out of this need came the pre-
sent Dairymen’s League Co—operative
Association Inc., which 'was incor-
porated under Article 13A of the
membership corporation laws of New
York State. Since the formation of
the association, however, the Cap-
per-Volstead Act has been passed by
Congress, thus permitting agricult-
ural groups to engage in collective
marketing under the sanction of
the Federal law in any state of the
Union.

The firststep necessary after the
creation of the new organization was
to work out a practicable pooling
plan, whereby the new association
coud handle the milk of its members
as a whole, disposing of all that
could be sold and operating plants
in which the surplus could be man-
ufactured into condensed and evap-
orated milk, butter, cheese, milk
powder and ice cream. Likewise
such a pool would enable the orga—
nization to build an efficient sales
force, maintain the necessary edu-
cational department to increase the
general use of milk products, and do
numerous other things to promote
the interests of its members.

A satisfactory pooling contract
was worked out and a campaign be-
gun to get signers among the mem-
bers of the old Dairyrmen’s League
Inc. At the annual stockholders’
meeting of the League, held in Jer-
sey City, N. J.‘ in December, 1920
it was decided by unanimous vote
to terminate the sales agency work
of the League on March 31, 1921.
By May, 1921, 54,000 of the mem-
bers of the old organization had

A signed the pooling contract of the

new association and the latte;~ be-
gan to put into operation its plans
for the collective marketing of
milk. At the date of this writing
the Dairymen’s League Co-operative
Association Inc., has a membership
of about 70,000. ,Li-‘ke its parent, its
activities extend over six states:
New York, northern Pennsylvania,
northwestern New Jersey, the‘west-
ern‘ri'ms of Connecticut and Mass-
achusetts,~and northern Vermont.

HOW PROPER SPRAYING IN-
CREASES POTATO PROFITS

on the several farms to be “capable
of the same airm';of work. Then,
too, some 151, ’.ork more easily
than others a-. , some‘far'mers pre—
pare their ground more carefully
than others. Nevertheless, the fig-
ures given per acre are fairly close,
and worthy of consideration. Con-
sidering the figures already given on
an acre basis we find that it re-
quires about 68.3 man hours and
54,5, horse hours to grow an acre of
potatoes, yielding 112 bu. By the
use of ,a power sprayer (horse
drawn, and costing $150.00) we find
that it requires 77 man hours and
91 horse hours and an outlay for
spray materials of $3.59 to grow
an acre of potatoes yielding 207 bu.
For an increased investment then of
an increase in man hours of 8.7 hrs.
and of horse hours 35.5 hours and a
cash outlay of $3.59 for-spraymater-
ials we get'an incresed yield of 95
bushels per acre.

The question, then, before each
farmer is whether-he can afford the
added investment and, the added ex-
pense and labor which is required
spraying with bordeaux, for the in-
creased yield he wfll get. “Spray-
ing is a form of crop insurance
for spraying with bordeaux, for the
increased yield he will get. “Spray-

FOR GROWS IN CORN ‘

Take 4 or _5 tablespoons of Kreso
No. 1 dip, mix through one bushel of
corn just before planting, will not
stick or bother in planter. Do not
cover more corn than needed be-
cause nothing will eat it, although
not at all poison. I tried this on a lot
near the woods where I had always
been bothered, with good success.—
F. B. T., Plymouth. .Mich.

 

FOR WHITE DIARRHOEA

If R. R., Ashley, Mich, will give
chickehs 1 gallon of sour milk or
buttermilk, with a. tablespoon of
saleratus in, once a week, it will
not only prevent but will cure the
worst cases. My feed is oatmeal.

A good treatment for pneumonia
is grease the lungs with olive or
sweet oil, then cover with powdered
lofelia, putting a bandage around to
hold the powder on. And mix one

lard and grease under arm pits.

Mrs. I. S. Ray should feed her
sheep onions for pne‘irmonia. I think
if she would cut open one of the
deadisheep’s head, she, would find
grubs are killing her'sheep. If so,
take and mix equal parts of coal oil
or kerosene with sweet milk and
put a tablespoonful up each ‘nostril,
holding the head back. .

This is good by experience. Use
every other day for a week. Sheep
should have 1 pint of oats and bean’
fodder to eat, and~ keep out of the
storms—A Farmer’s Wife. .

I. have a mare ‘9 years old that has,
been lame, in her right hind leg since
last fall, and as near as I can. locate
the trouble it seems to be in the ankle
Joint. When she isnft used for a while
she seems to get all right, but as Idrive
her again she- gets lame and stays lame
for a’. few days. She limbs more when
trotting than when she walks. She hasn t
been used but very little all winter...and
she seems to be in set condition
in every other way. What do you think
the trouble is? And ’what should I
for it?—-.-W. J.» W.,,Eimira, Mich.-

From 7 the description you have
given you have described no symp-
toms upon which a diagnosis could
be given, however, if you will kindly

 

,answer the following questions Ibe-

lieve I will be able to advise you in—
telligent-1y: 1st. Does this animal
show any symptom of the lameness
when standing in the stall? 2nd. Is
the lameness more pronounced when
first taken out of the stall, or is it
more pronounced after driving a
short distance? 3rd. Pick up the foot
and flex the hock joint as tight as
you can to the body or flank, hold
the leg in this position for a few
minutes, then let the foot down and
lead her straight ahead, and note
whether or not the lameness is more
pronounced. Examine the inside of
the lower part of the hock joint very
carefully and see if there isn’t a
small enlargement there. I am in—
clined to think that possibly the
trouble is in connection with this
joint.

 

CATARRHAL CONDITION

Am asking informath about a cow
that I have. She had some trouble clean-
ing last November after calving. It took
her about a. week. She did not come in
heat until last February... I gave her
nux vomica two weeks before she came
in heat, but every once in a While lately
she passes a, white matter with urine and
I do not know what is the trouble. Has
not come in heat since I took her away
the first .time,’ February last. She is in
fair condition, milks good and she feels
good but I am worried about her passing
that thick puss. As I am just starting
out and she is a valuable cow will sp-
nreciate your advice—Reader, St. Clair
County. ’1. ‘

When a portion of the afterbirth
is retained, there follows usually a
catarrhai uterine discharge ' which
continues ‘indifinitely. This dis~
charge usually' makes ,its escape
when the cow is in recumbent posi—
tion, several ounces being emitted
daily in. some cases. The discharge
has a putrid odor and usually cows
suffering from this condition can be
detected in ths>herd by the odor
alone. In other instances the dis-
charge escapes only at intervals of
two or three weeks, usually about
the normal periods of— estrum. While
the general condition and well-being
of the cow is not effected to any ex-
tent as long as the condition con-
fines itself .to a catarrhal affection,
cows so affected should be consider-
ed as giving impure milk.‘ The milk
from cows so affected is unfit for
human consumption if from no other
standpoint than esthetic one. COWS
suffering from catarrhal conditions
of the ‘uterus as the result of reten:
tion of all, or a part of the after-
birth frequently become sterile.
Treatment is far from satisfactory.
Tonics and good feed may help
some. Two dram doses of powdered
nux vomica morning and. nigh: will
do more in these cases than any
other drug I know of. .

This is not a .common‘disease "of

PIGS’. TAILS DROP OFF

I bought a registered Poland China.
sow at a sale for $80. She farrowed' 11
pigs 7 of which lived. They are 3 weeks
old and they have a disease of the tail.
It breaks out- around the tail in little
pimples. then the tail seems to dry up like
it was burnt, and drops off. What is it.
cause and cure?——C. G.. Ithaca, Mich.

The disease. or condition to which
you refer appears to be very rare in
this country, however, it has been
the writer’s privilege to visit a farm,
in company with one of the repre-
sentatives of the Federal Bureau
sent to investigate the reported out-
break of this disease, and, owing to
the fact that these particular cases
were found to be connected with an
outbreak of hog cholera, we were
unable to determine the exact cause
and treatment was unsuccessful. I
would suggest that you use a lime
and sulphur dip, or nicotine dip, re-
peating 'every five days for three'
dippings, provided that the quarters
are cleaned and disinfected and the
thick scags are removed so that the
dipping solution may gain access to
the parasites. Some of‘the old chron-

' (DISEASES RABBITS CONTRACT
What diseases do young-rabbits have.
and what would you do-for them? One
died about a week ago, and ,another is
sick. .I call it slobbers. They chew all
the time and their race gets wet and
sticky. They die in about a. day after
131:3}: are. taken sick—G. F., Davison,
c .

‘ Not a great deal is known about
the diseases of rabbits, but it would
take a. long article to discuss what is
known. Probably the most serious
infectious disease is occidiosis. In
this disease the, liver is badly in
vo‘lved. In order to prevent the ds-
ease isolation of infected. animals,
and a very thorough and consistent
disinfection would have to be pract-
iced.

Probably young rabbits suffer more
from nutritional disturbances than

from any/other trouble. I would
suggest that you make a careful
study of the diet of these rebbits.

There may be an unbalanced ration
or a lack 6f succulent food or miner-

' a1 matter, an ex’cess or a deficiency

of necessary food constituents.

~We have had some experience
with first—cutting alfalfa hay with
guinea pigs. This has produced
deathyin a great many cases.

We would suggest that one of the
sick or dead rabbits be sent to this
laboratory for study. We shall be
very glad to make a report on any
such animals submittedwithout any
charge to the sender. A very com-
plete account of the nature of the
diet and the conditions under which
the rabbits are kept should accom-
pany the specimen—Ward Giltner,

These three fruits can be grafted

in March. Use the ripened Wood of

LUTHER BURBANK’S NURSERY

Is the plant wizard, Luther Burbank,
in the seed business? I received a cata-
logue from a. Luther Burbank, Santa.
Rosa. California, offering What is claim-
ed to be new varieties of plants and
grains said to have been originated by
Luther Burbank. or is it a shark using
his name?—R. M.‘

The Luther Burbank Nursery is
at Santa Rosa, California. Undoubt-
edly, there are many “sharks” as
you aptly call them, who are mak-
ing dishonest use of the Burbank
name and fame, but the page
from the catalogue which you send
has the appearance of being genu-
ine. That is as much as we are able
to say at present.

 

CRANBERRIES

I have four acres of muck land. too
cold for corn and not drained enough
for celery or onions, but dry enough to
work in dry weather. No hopes of a.
drain for years. Would this grow cran-
berries? We are growing fruit on our
place and would like to know the cost of
a. nurseryman’s license—C. ‘B., Eremont,
Indiana.

There are few places where the
cranberry can be grown profitably
without a. considerable outlay in
preparation. The land must be eas-
ily drained of surplus water but
retain enough to keep from drying
out in summer. Muck land is first
cleared of turf, then covered with
three or four inches of sand for a
much to hold the moisture and to
keep out weeds. A reservoir or
stream of water is needed for flood-

ing in spring and fall. All of this
makes the growing of I cranberries
far from a simple process. HOW-‘

ever, the returns are often large for

the investment. ' v ' .
A nurseryman’s license in , Michig

gen costs $5.00, to which should be

added $3.00, for inspection  

    

“'8

$5.00, but must file with the State
Nursery Inspector a list of the grow-
ers from whom they expect to buy
their stock, for which a fee of $1.00
is charged. All nurserymen outside
the state doing business in Michigan
are classed as dealers. If stock is
grown under contract for a nursery,

alicense is not required, but inspec- ‘

tion is necessary. In case the inspec-
tion of a nursery requires more
than half a day’s time the charge
is $5.00 for each full day, together
with the extra expense, should there
be any. A bond for $1,000.00 is
required from nurserymen.

 

ASTROLOGY AND NURSERYMEN
In this new era, when the farmer who
fills the soil needs nurserymen who raise
seeds, vines, plants. trees, r-chickens,
stock. etc., by. astrological laws, Why
should you not supply that advertising
information from firms all over the'U.
S.?——M. E. I-I., Elcajou, alifornia.

The trouble is, no nurseryman of
our acquaintance is doing business
among the stars. They are still on
earth and there is some doubt as to
where they will go next.

NOTES AND COMMENT

To raise fancy strawberries, train the
runners along the row, leaving them to
stand about four inches apart, then cut
off all the other plants. This will make
a. single row of plants, which Will bear
heavily, and as there is no crowding. the
fruit will be large, not so much of it as
on a. matted row, but better in quality.

The apple scab is not limited to the
fruit, but attacks blossoms and leaves as
.well, hence the importance of frequent
spraying. When the blossoms Show the
pink, after the petals fall and a third
time about two weeks later, should give
the trees a good start. The same treat-
ment should be given peers.

at It

It is surprising to notice how often
fruit trees are planted on wet ground.
If there is anything an apple or a peach
detests.‘ it is wet feet.’ The trees may
grow, but they will rarely bear well. "

There is a demand for the Russet ap-
ple, but not on the general market.
Those who know what a. good apple is,
or should be, in the spring are asking
for the old-fashioned Roxbury or Golden
Russets, such as they were on grand-
father’s farm. Now that the day for
parcel post trade in fruit has. ’ arrived.
quality should be .med'eto count.

fiddldrsd A J  I , _> U
V "sze'adin'g ever the Business Farm-
er thisf'afternoon, I' noted a letter
cencerning huckleberries. So that

ur readers. be not 'misled, may I
. no e‘ the fact‘that huckleberries will
not ow in all muck. They will not

v grow in the high limed mucks. One
of ‘the unpublished observations
which .I have, made in'this' state is
that I have never seen a huckleberry
plant growing in a har‘d‘water muck.

- In. every case where buckleberries
are found. the water is low in lime
content so that it is readily known

. as soft water muck. -

.“Observers in Southern Michigan
will admit that they have never
seen a huckleberry in marshes which
are ,fed by springs. Huckleberries
are usually found in those marshes
where surface water collects and
where the. acid conditions are pro-
duced which allows the huckleberry
to propagate.

“Thislis all understandable when
we consider that scientists have
shown that a fungus exists on the
roots of the huckleberry and other
similar plants, growing with it and
acting in the same capacity as the
germs in the nodules on the roots of
legumes. One of the unique charact-
eristics of this fungus is that it will
only‘live where the soil is acid. This
accounts for the dimCulty which
many have had in propagating the
huckl’eberry successfully. In the
New Jersey experiments with the im-
proved varieties of blueberries or
huckleberries, this difficulty was ex-
perienced, to make thesoil acid and
keep it so. ~ . I

"From the point of view of hortiJ
cultural development our bureau is
especially the tap roots. There are
ities of the huckleberry on our acid
marshes and it is hoped that the ag—
ricultural college will take up this
question of huckleberry culture in
Michigan as a practical problem for
the immediate future. '

 

WALNUT TREES

N a late issue of Michigan Busi-
ness Fariner, a reader makes in-
quiry as to propagating the Walnut
tree. I have lived nearly all my
life in a section where walnut trees
_were a natural product. We have a
tree in front of our house, that in
1921 bore 8 bushels of walnuts af-
ter they were shucked. This tree was
,. from a knot brought from Steuben
Co., Ind., and planted where it now
stands, about forty-tWo years ago.

_We have trees now bearing that'

"came from the fruit of this tree.
This tree is on a pine sand ridge——
but the better the soil the better the
crop will. apply to the walnut as
well as to everything on the farm.
I have nearly a hundred small trees
from nuts planted in the fall of
1920. I would not transplant in
the fall. Care must be exercised
in preserving all fibrous roots and
especially the tap roots. There are
quite a lot of walnut trees in this
vicinity, all having come from this
one tree. - Had I put out walnut for
shades, Where I put elm and maple
thirty-five years ago, I might now
be reaping a financial benefit as
.well as the shade only. This tree
has blossomed nicely. It should
bear a good crop this year.——P. P.
Miner, Saginaw County.

considerable, , e and,’because of its
reduced weight, handled and shipped
economically. Some manufacturers
have recently installed evaporators
for drying the pulp in order to
tmarket the product for stock feed.

The feeding icxperiment included
a preliminary test with'one cow for
a period 'of 20 days, and a later one
with 6 cows. The dried pectin pulp
was always mixed with three times
its weight of water several hours
before feteding. In the first test the
cow was fed" corn silage for 20 days,
then, after a transition period of 5
days, she was giVen pectin pulp for
20 days, and, after another transi—

tion period of 5 days, she was fed .

corn silage for another 20 days. In
all these periods grain was fed in
connection with the roughage.

’ The average production during
the corn-silage-feeding periods was
312 pounds of milk and 14.65
pounds of butterfat. During the
period when pectin pulp was fed the
cow made 356.9 pounds of milk and
15.68 pounds of fat. “Although this
test showed that the pulp produced
14.7 per cent more milk and 7.1 per
cent more butterfat ,than the corn
silage, the results can not be con-
sidered cbnclusive.

In the second and more extended
experiment (the pectin pulp was com-
pared with dried beet pulp, a feed
that it'resembles more closely than
corn silage. The six cows were fed
for 30 days on beet pulp soaked
with three times its weight of water,
then, after a transition period of
10 days, they were fed for 30 days
on- pectin pulp soaked with a simi—
lar quantity of water. The soaking
was from 'one feeding 1time to the
next, but in warm weather the pulp
should not be allowed to soak for
more than one or two hours. The
pectin pulp contained approximately
7 per cent crude fat (not all of which
is true fat), 7 per cent crude protein,
and 26 per cent crude fiber, as com-
pared with 0.5‘ per cent crude fat, 8"
per cent crude protein, and 20 per
cent crude fiber in beet pulp. The
two feeds are similar in being able
to absorb water readily.

The cows while on the ration con—
taining 'the beet pulp produced
4976.5 pounds of milk and 171.86
pounds of butterfat; while on the
pectin-pulp ration they produced
4375.7 pounds of milk and 152.93
pounds of fat. Forty pounds of the
wet pulp were offered to each cow
daily. The palatability of the pectin
pulp did not appear to be so high
as that of the beet pulp, since the
cows did not eat it so readily. it
seems that pound for pound of dry
matter the pectin pulp is superior to
corn silage and perhaps interme—
mediate between the silage and beet
pulp.

The loss of appetite for the pectin
pulp by some of the cows may be
attributed to‘the fact that it was the
less familiar feed and thatthe second
test was conducted during the sum-
mer when cows are more apt to tire
of such feeds. While this feed can
not be considered of unvarying pala-
tibility, it is thought that when dairy
cattle become accustomed to it they
will eat it readily. No ill effects

makes the job of Whitewashing and disinfecting a matter of one operation—
turns a mean job into easy, rainy-day work. It increases the light more than
whitewash and helps make buildings clean and sanitary—a condition necessary
if poultry and livestock are to be free from the losses and troubles caused by

lice, mites and contagious diseases.

Use it Instead of Whitewash and Disinfectants
Carbola comes in powder form with a disinfectant already combined. It is

read

to use as soon as mixed with water and can be applied either with a

brus or sprayer to wood, brick, stone, cement or over whitewash. Carbola
doesn't blister, flake nor peel off. It doesn’t clog the sprayer and it dries out
clear white. Carbola can be kept in powder form or mixed and left standing
in pail without spoiling. One gallon covers 200 square feet.

(JO-OPERATION
ID YOU ever stop to think what
the' word “cooperation” really
means? It is derived from two
Latin Words, co, meaning together,
and opero, which means to work.
Cooperation is working together!
That is very simple, and yet it con-

. tains a truth so profound that men

have not yet fathomed its possibil—
ities. The greatinstitutions of
civilization are all based on cooper-
ation. Without it there could be no
family life, no churches, no schools,
no government, society would be
plunged into the abyss of hopeless
anarchy, and human progress would
become impossible. But what if we
carry cooperation to its logical con-
clusion and insist that there is no
more reason why men should not
work together for the common good
in industry and international rela-
tionships than in the home, the
school and the maintenance of gov—

ernment? What would happen to
industrial autocracy, to privileged
monopoly, to war? Cooperation

says that they, too, belong to a cave—
man civilization. The crucial issue
before world civilization today is
just this: Vshall we cling to the
jungle law of competition and con—
tinue to out each other’s throats, or
shall we strive to construct civil-
ization on an enduring ‘cooperative
basis? This is not a dream. It is
hard headed realism.. Unmitigated
competition is leading straight to
more war , more industrial strife,
more social ruin. By cooperation
alone can men work ‘happily and

peacefully together to create a high;

er civilization.

A MACHINE THAT “EATS” STUMPS

Mr. V. P. Smith, a Kalamazoo county
subscriber sends us a. picture and clip-
ping describing a. machine invented by
a ‘Southerner which literally “eats”
stumps. He suggests that it may afford a
solution to Michigan’s land clearing
problem. The account of this almost
human contrivance says: . '

A‘ mechanical device that chews up
stumps, roots and all, and bales them for
use as fuel, is expected to clear thous—

ands of acres of cutover land, now the
. despair of the fariners. The device is

 
 

fastened to the front of a tractor. It
looks like an aeroplane propeller—two
great s arp blades crossed at right an-
gles; ' heso blades are pointed and
closely-set: with sharp steel teeth.’ The
operator drives his tractor 'to a stump
and sets thedevice in action; There's- a

, ,_“Dear.pArch: Y0u made some
trouble for us last week. 'That thing
of yours about ‘A bow-legged Girl is
Happy Although . She’s in Awful
Bad shape,’ got the town police after
us. -Some women’s club reported it
to ‘a policeman and he came down to
see it. But he just laughed his fool
head off and the ladies had to give
up reforming that day.”. .

And this: ‘ _

“Dear sir: Please send me (I in-
close stamp) the squib you had on
the blackboard sign post in front of

your place on last Sunday. ‘I read'

a part of it, but didn’t get to see it
all and can’t_drive back past as I
am ill. It was something about
girls.” ‘

Vaudeville actors send daily re-
quests for “Archbold patter,” asking
for their special line—aviation, love,
hi'gh rent, and so on. Hotels, public

libraries, and teachers of English,
the country over subscribe to his
bulletins. Our Community Chest

drive was immeasurably strengthen-

ed by the donated epigrams ovarchw

bold. One of the favorites was
“keep your heart softer than your
head.” Most any philanthropic organ-
ization can bet on Archbold when it
needs peppy publicity. He knows
that even propaganda can be made
into live stuff that will attract the
country at large. Some of ‘his best
things were done for safety cam-
paigns.

“I’m through on religion, though,”
says Mr. Archbold, “and I never
touch party politics. I once re—
marked that the word 'and’ occur-
ed only once in the Bible—and let—
ters are still coming to set me right.”

Going back to how he does it and
what they want, he keeps his finger
upon the public pulse, first. He is
very fond of the story of the city
editor who sent every “cub” out af—
ter the story of the loose brick. If
the cub came back full of pride be-
cause he had found the loose 'brick
and nothing else, he was not retain-
ed. If he came back full of stories
which he had met upon the way, he
was a fixture.

Archbold knows from observation
that the modern girl, the high cost
of rent and children. prohibition, au—
tomobiles, mothers-in-law, the in»
come tax, courting days, and so on,
come home sooner or later to every-
one. Then he writes:

“The rich man has a twin six;
the poor man six twins.”

“It isn’t the first kiss that counts;
it’s the upkeep.” '

“You can’t loaf and have the
doughfl’ ~

‘Some men grow; others just
swell.”

“Honest opinion, like homely W0—
men in street cars, stand longest.”
“Oin to bed and oily to riée is the
fate of a_ man when an auto he buys.’
Archbold knows that folks will
laugh because they are made that
way and that all this risibility needs
is a little tickling. Whether'they
laugh according to Darwin’s theory
or not bothers him not a bit. Dar-
win, you remember,
humans laugh and kiss as a relic of
the ten million years ago when, as
fish, We used our mouths for nearly
ery function and that we still use
t em to express the emotion of
mirth. »

One wonders if it is far—fetched to
call this wonderful success of a new
type of advertising somewhat of a
return to the days of picture writ’—
ing. Millions of people get in pass—
ing his slates a picture of a saying
that might not stick if seen in print.
A prominent minister wrote this to
Mr. Archbold:

“We do not use symbols and -vls-
ible illustrations enough in our
schools to‘ impress great truths on,
the mind. Your slates are like
marble base reliefs which_tell a story
to the eye in themselves. They re-

(E OF SUMMER (nicks

ITH proper treatment the
‘ later spring

 

and summer

, chicks may be as easily and
successfully raised as the earlier
ones and with nearly equal profits.
The error most frequently made by
those desiring to raise these chicks
and the one which is almost sure to
mean a heavy loss, is in placing
these young chicks on the same
range on which the earlier and old-
er ones are being raised. This
should never be done if it is pos-
sible to avoid it and it is usually
easily avoided.

Place the quarters for these
chicks on an entirely new and un—
contaminated range'wnere there is
an abundance of shade and loose
soil covering a good portion of the
range.‘ An ideal location is the
small berry patch or plot. Usually
this has been cultivated to some ex-
tent during the Spring months and
the soil is loose and moist. The
new growth of vines have developed
‘by June fifteenth or July first to
such an extent that the grduiid is
well shaded and here in the moist
earth are an abundance of insects
which will interest the chicks and
keep them busy. Another location for
Itheir range isin a plot of corn in
which rape has been thinly sown
early in the season. The corn alone
will answer and afford a good range
but the shade will not be dense
enough to retain the moisture in the
soil during a. long dry spell as .well
as with the rape.

The requisites for the best success
in rearing the summer chicks may
be summed up as follows: A clean
new range to which no other chicks
have access, plenty of shade, fresh
water frequently and proper food.

‘ The food requirements are the same

as for the earlier chicks except that
we would advise a liberal ration of
milk in some fonm and would con-
sider this milk ration very essential.
If the natural milk, sweet or sour,
or in the shape of cottage cheese,
is not available, some of the prepared
dry butter-milk foods should be pro‘
vided. They may now be obtained
at almost any feed or supply store.

These June, July and August
hatched chicks may be made to show
nearly as much profit as the earlier
ones
handled and where the poultry is
raised largely for the home table
the males as b'roilers or roasters
during September, October and Nov-
ember will certainly .be welcomed.
The pullet will usually come into
full laying in the spring at a time
when the earlier hatched onesare
slacking up‘ in their egg production.

Those who find that their farm or
range is not as. fully stocked with
chicks as they had planned to have
it, should not hesitate to add a suf—
ficient number of these later hatch—
ed chic‘ks to fill their quota or num-
ber and if care is taken with them
and a range given them as suggested
there is no reason why they may
not prove quite profitable, especially
so since the first cost is usually con-
siderably less than the cost of the
earlier hatched.

 

LEG WEAKNESS

Could you please tells me through your
paper what is the matter with my chick-
ens? The first thing I noticed was that
they could not stand up or walk around
very good. They are that way for a. few
days and then they are all right again.
They are all last spring‘s chickens and
the ones that are affected are my laying
hens. Their combs are red and they eat

.good but cannot stand up at times. It

wsharp decline in the prices of most

farm products. The automotive in-
dustry and allied lines are again

‘in full swing though where all the

business is coming from or how long
it will continue are matters of the
purest conjecture. It is said that
there are still two million men out
of work, but e'mployers’ associa-
tions point out that this is only very
slightly above the normal unemploy-

‘ ment which is always considerable
_ because there are many men who

'will not work when they can.

The last financial statement of the
railroad was the best for many years,
showing a substantial gain in gross
earnings and a material decrease in
operating expenses. Threats of rail
strikes are, however, a disturbing
factor and apprehension as to the
outcome of the rail situation has not
entirely been appeased.

Building operations in many parts
of the country are humming again,
with the result that prices on mater.
ials are tending upward. Farmers
who intend to build this year would
do well to make as many of their
purchases now as possible, for,high-
er prices on lumber, brick, cement
and other building materials are
quite likely to show further gains
as the summer advances.

Planting conditions in this state
are generally. favorable, though the
soil is dry and hard in many local-
ities because of the lack of rain.
Some sections of the state have not
been visited with a sprinkle of rain
since the three-day down-pour of
the middle of May. Fears are express-
ed that unless rain comes soon the
hay crop which gave such fine pro-
mise a few weeks back will be short.

.Generally speaking, there is a bet-
ter feeling among farmers as they
enter the new crop season, than for
over two years.
“worst is over,” and while lower
prices are anticipated on the grains
until the size of the new crop is defi-
nitely ascertained, the feeling is
general that prices will recover with
the beginning of winter. At least no
fears are expressed that wheat will
drop below a dollar or other crops
decline in proportion. .

 

\VHEAT

June 7—-—During the past two
weeks wheat continued to decline in
price. General interest was mod-
erate. There was a desire on the part
of the public to take a position on the
constructive side of the market, but
this was restrained by the fear that
owners of the large stocks of wheat
accumulated during the month of
May would have trouble in finding
a market for the grain. There is
more wheat in Chicago at present
than there was in the entire visible
supply a year ago according to re-
ports. Whether or not this will prove
a detriment to the trade and be a
burden of the market remains to be
seen. People who own most of the
cash Wheat are confident of their
position. They think that exporters
will have to come to them for their
supplies as there is little wheat at
the seaboard and the surplus sup-
plies at Kansas .City and Omaha
have been drained. An increase in
export buying is noted, not much
of a gain, but enough to show that
Wheat is wanted over there. Hold—

' ers believe that an advance here will

bring an increase in foreign buy-
ing because they need the grain and
do not want to pay high figures for
it. Increase in domestic milling de-'
trend is noted at several points, but
it does not yet amount to much and
has little effect on values. -In the
Detroit market cash handlers find
plenty of demand for all the good

CORN

June 7—The tone of the corn mar-
ket during the pasr two weeks has
been from steady to weak while
declines in price have amounted to
from 2c to 3c on the larger markets.
Demand improved some during
the latter part 'of this period,

but receipts increased enough to

offset any bullish tendency. The
bears are very active in the grain
market and grains in general are
easy. Corn is expected torremain
in this condition for the next several
weeks, providing weather conditions
are favorable, and price changes will
be slight and of a downward trend
in general. .

higher prices. This is now the’hi‘gh-
est market in the country, quota—
tions at other points being 50 to 75
cents below the Detroit range. Trade
the high

certain that prices cannot advance
much higher without bringing out

REVIEW 01' THE BUTTER MARKETS
WEEK ENDING JUNE sun

A heavy demand for butter for storing
purposes was the factor of most import-
ance in the butter markets during , the
week ending June 3rd. The first half of
the week was in May and. during this
time the markets were generally Weak
and unsettled. Considerable quantitiies
of butter were carried over from the
week before and to this was added lib-
eral receipts. With the exception of 90
score cars of Centralized which were
firm because of demand for delivery on
May contracts, the supply of all grades
of butter was excessive. The price
trend of the markets was lower and by.
Wednesday there Was a decided, weak
feeling on' the markets. On 'Thursday.
June 1st. however. true to the expecta-
tions of most of the trade there was a
heavy increase in the demand for butter

. for storing purposes which, with a good

consuming demand and some demand
for speculation, soon absorbed the ex-
cess supplies and caused the markets to
react. to a much firmer position. 92
score butter closed the week in Chi-
cago at 350 the pound.

GEORGE B. HORTON DEAD
(Continued from page 3) .
the question and the tenacity with
which it was kept before the people
and the legislature was largely ow-
ing to Mr. Horton's influence, which
was reflected through, the Grange
and its allied organizations.

(Mr. Horton was a member of the
constitutional convention in 1917, a
member of the State Board of Agri-
culture during the Luce administra-
tion and for six years served as a
member of the State Tax Commis-
sion and Board of Assessors.)

January 3rd. 1878, Mr. Horton
was married to Miss M. Amanda
Bradish, daughter of Norman F. and
Caroline Bradish of Madison town-
ship, who survives him. He is also
survived by three children, Mrs. Sid-
ney Spitzer of Perrysburg, 0., Sam-
uel Horton,’of Maumee, 0., and Nor-
man Horton, who lives at the Fruit
Ridge home and who has been as-
suming gradually the responsibili-
ties of the management of the
Horton interests.

Kept Woods and Paid Mortgage

Last year shortly before the big
gathering at his home for the Farm—
ers’ tour, Mr. Horton related the
story of his unusual success as a
.farmer. It was a simple and mod-
est narrative revealing the sterling
qualities of his plain. powerful char-
acter. He said:

“My father was known for his
thrift and economy, but he was not
selfish. Throughout his lifetime,
when he was developing his land
and making it productive, he talked
about the coming generation. He

timber lots. Incidentally he «II;

a well educated'man, although -. 

had never gone'to school after he
was 14 years of age. 

“When father died, mother said
to me ‘Take "the land. Your sisters
will agree to quit claims for $30,-
000. You can handle the debt. 'She
had faith in me somehow, « and ,I

went ahead although it looked like '
a big load. You can understand that, ,.
in i] "

$30,000 was a lot of money
those days and farming was slow’.

“Well. after I had started in to‘
Canadians 4 '

pay off the debt some
who were buying ship timber came
to the farm and looked

said they would give me

for a certain line of timber

They
$10,000

wanted, to make masts and spars.
“It looked to me like a lot of
money—one-third of the mortgage v

—-—and I could pay it without turning
my hand. I told mother and she
said, ‘You know what your father
would say. You wouldn’t be ahead
if you sold the timber. You would
just be taking the money out of one
pocket and putting it in the other,
for you have your $10,000 now in
the timber.’ I kept it and I have
kept it since but you see it wasn't
because it hasn’t sometimes seem-
ed to be eaSier to sell it.”

Every one of the many Horton

farms is today a standing testimo- ‘

nial of his belief in the doctrine of
conservation and of his care to pro-
vide for the generations to come.
Each has its woodlot carefully
protected against the encroach-
ments of men and animals. Fre-
quently after he had purchased a
tract of land he fenced off for the
re-creation of woodlots portions of
it that previously had been cleared.
“Keep men and
land and nature will do the rest”
was the simple guiding principle of
his farm forestry.
the woodlands “paid

their way"

and that if they did not it would be 3

a patriotic duty to maintain them.
