 c'ounty families are-taking time for

a day’s drive into the sections east
and north of their homes to see the

in the year:

 Incidentally, they wish to know

 their own state better, but more

than this they desire to seb how
conditions,
are working out their life’s prob-
lems and so get a better perspective
of their own job. Thus, they are
placed in a better position to see
the vital forces at work in their Own
business and also those forces that
make for a better solution of the
rural problem as a whole.

beautiful vistas, attractive lakes, and,

some, of their county’s 'most out;

Upwards of two hundred folks
were scheduled-to take the trip this
year but the great help shortage at
sced time out the forces dawn to a
‘ quarter of the members who desired
to participate. ‘ \_

Things that especially interested
the party were a beautiful drive. to
Port Huron, a visit to the St. Clair
County Farm, a glimpse of the Port
Huron Thresher Works and the Dia-
mond Crystal Salt Works at St. Clair.
A picnic dinner at Lakeside ,Park,
Port Huron, gave every member of
the party a vivid idea of what op-
portunities are offered by a fine
landscape, 3. beautiful lake front and
the human element strictly in tune
for the occasion.- ‘

Top much: had been planned for.
the day and a visit to the Michigan
Busineserarmer, the Aviation Field
and the Detroit Creamery Company‘s
Farm at Mt. Clemens all had to be
hastily considered after six o’clock.
At that time a considerable part of
the tourists had been force'd to re
turn home to attend to the regular

evening round of details.

Experiments in different parts of”
the state have brought out the fact

 

that certain soils need more ofertilixé »

BETTER METHODS WITH CORN,
' . . LAST YEAR ‘ -
'1‘ least 94,896'.farmersrwere di:-
rectly influenced \to use better
methods in growing corn last

year because of the. demonstration

and other work of county agents em?
'ployed co-operativeiy by. the United

States Department of Agriculture,

the state agricultural colleges and
the counties. A summary of. yields
‘ produced on- demonstration terms as

, ’ compared with the average produc—~

tion of corn in the localities of the '

demonstrations shows that at least
one and one—half times as‘much corn
was produced to the acre on the
demonstration plats. In some in-
stances the yield was as much as 4
times the average. ”

. Seed corn selection has brought
a marked improvement in the qual-
ity of seed used in many communi-
ties. Reports, show that "as a re-
sult- of demonstrations about 1,600,-

000 acres were planted with tested _

and selected seed in 1921. l p

In carrying on. demonstrations;
improved cultivation methods were
given attention. The dry season of
last year made the results of such
cultivation stand out more conspicu—
ously than they might have done
otherwise. and -attracted attention
particularly in the south- It was
there that the greatest,’ contrast in
yields was noted. , ‘

In Brown county, Texas, where
the dry seasonis particularly hard
on corn, a former county agent in-

\

trounced a local system of cultiva-_

tion for corn which has proved very
successful in that county and which
might well" be tried in other 'similar
localities. Under this system corn
is planted in widely-spaced rows,
26 1-2 to 7 test apart, and. given
- thorough cultivation until the ears
are mature. A deep mulch is main;
tained by using a section harrow be-

tween the rows, after Corn planted,
'in narrowly-spaced rows is; too large “'
 to plow with _a- cultivator.  ' "

ter that the principal interest of this convention
centered. It came to a head in connection with
the Hackney amendment, which in effect changed
the “constitution so that the secretary, the treas~
titer and thesuperintendent of advanced registry
shall be elected by the Board otDirectors, in-
stead of by the delegates. , .

Directors should be in a position to control the

activities of the secretary and treasurer, and
that these oflicers should be responsible to the
board for their acts; as far as the association is
concerned. "The Board of Directors,” said Mr.
Aitken, “must be an authority over the employees
Of the association and if they are spreading virus,
the board must be in a position to tell them to“
cease. Put the board in a position where it can
control and govern employees. , All that the offi—
cials have to do is to make good to be re—elected.”

The vote was Overwhelmineg in favor of the
‘amendment. This presumably ends a fight which
has been carried on for almost ten years.

There was much interebt in the amendments
affecting transfer fees, and the matter was finally
settled by the adoption of a compromise amend-
ment'which provides that if transfers are made

within three months after ,date 'of sale, the fee .

to- members shall be $1.50; non-members, $3. If
the transfer is made after three month from
date of sale. the fee shall be $3 to members, and
"ch transfer shall be used for extension work
in places and in ways approved for by the Board
or Directors. The adoption of this amendment
should provide the additional money needed to
promote the interests of the Holstein breed.

Purebred Sire Exhibit

~Possibly no exhibit attracted more attention
from visitors than the one featuring the value of
'the purebred sire. Many-a dairyman, who so far
has not been quite convinced that he needed a
purebred bull at the head of his herd was_found
intently studying the illustrated material and
copying inhis own notebook informati‘on‘show-
ing that in some herds there are scrub cqws‘with
an average annual milk production of only 3874.5
pounds of milk and an average butterfat produc—
tion-of 192 pounds. Where a sire 50 per cent
purebred heads the herd, the next generation of
cows is found to have an average of 6955 pounds
of milk and 266 pounds “of butterfat, or an in-

crease of 79 per cent in milk yield and 38 per _- .fi 5

per cent purebred is used, the result in an aver-
age milk production of 12,817 pounds, or an in—
crease of 231 per cent, and 486.45 pounds of
butterfat, an increase of 153 per cent.

These experiments were“ all with one
There were many other illustrations as striking
as the one mentioned. This exhibit, showing the
importance of, the purebred bull, grading up the
common dairy herd and improving grade herds,
appealed tremendously to dairymen in the‘Mid-'
west country who are not so very old as dairy
matters go.» The young man in charge of'this
work was kept busy answering inquiries relative
to the kind of purebred sires to select, what they
would cost and where they could be procured.
Much of the information in this booth came from
the experimental work of the Iowa Experiment
Station. Mr. Fred Koenig, in charge of the H01-
stein Extension Service, spent much time with
the exhibit.

The United States Dairy Divisibn, assisted by
the Holstein Association, arranged to have its
fine exhibit, previously used at the National Dairy
Show, at this convention. This exhibit consisted
of 26 booths, including the entire government
exhibit of last year’s National Dairy Show and
two booths from the recent milk campaign in
New Orleans. In general interest and in educa-
tional value it was one of the very best displays
ever sent out by the U. S. Department of Agri—
culture. '

VThe National Dairy Council, under the sup—
ervision of M. O. Maugham, exhibited many things
of interest not only to the milk producer, but to
the consumer of dairy products. “Full of health
and pep,” “Milk three times a day,” “My, but
he’s a husky—boy! Milk three times a day did it,”
were a few of the striking signs featuring their
booth. '

 ‘ ‘HE private system of marketing produce from-

 

y‘private profit. It was quite natural that this
should be the way in which marketing shouldde-
yelop for the reason that it has Only been recent-
ly that agriculture has been commercialized. Un-
til recent years the produce which went into the
channels of trade was the surplus gathered up
from the many sections of the country. ~This de-
velopment of the market system was a result of
necessity and the services Which have been per-
formed are essential. The well intermed does
not question the essential services of the middle-
man or doubt that he is a real producer. How-
ever, it must be admitted that this system has
been developed under conditions that made the
impelling force one of private gain other than one
of service. It is quite doubtful whether those
_things which tend toward private profit and the
welfare of the individual are always for the best
interests of society at large. Profit, which under
our present system goes to a separate class ‘of
middlemen, is the main motive of our market sys-
tem and those things which tend toward a great-
er profit are the things which are desired by) those
who are in the business of performing market ser-
vices. Practices which grow up under-present con:-
ditions of marketing are not looked at through
the eyes of him who desires to secure the best
interests of producer, middleman and consumer;
but rather through the eyes of him Who desires
to increase his own profit. The institution of
markets as now developed has back of it the in—
centive of private profit rather than the incentive
of community or social betterment.

There is a realization among market middle-
men that there exists a certailr class interest and
every effort to encroach upon their domain is
naturally opposed. Certain standards of living
are desired and required. Every effort is being
made to maintain a reasonable margin of profit
in order that these living standards can be main-
tained. The recognition of this class conscious-
ness among different classes of private market
men is evidenced by the existence of trade as-
sociations. The primary function of such asso-
' ciations is to improve the conditions within the

laws were enacted and rules established to gov-

was held at Kansas City and the first national

February, 1919, that ‘the game attracted much
more attention but from then on interest in—

WHY DO MEN CO-OPERATE?

J. T. Horner‘s accompanying article dis-i
cusses ,co-operation"among farmers from a
somewhat different viewpdnt. ‘ Private ;
gain is popularly believed to be the sole
advantage of co—operative eflort, but Dr.
Homer says not. Indeed, he'clalms it is
one of the least. He doubts if the. saving
through co-operative '. marketing can be
made sufficiently large to warrant the ef-
fort and the risk. But, he points out,
there are many other and more important
advantages to co-operation. These are dis-
cusses in this article together with a few
danger signals on the road to co-operative
success. Read his article. If you don’t

trade and,‘what is natural, to protect the ‘mem-
bers as a class from the undermining ’of their
station in the economic society of the day. The
great pressure which is brought to bear upon cer-
tain classes of these middlemen is such that they
must necessarily seek the most efiective and' eco-
nomic methods of doing business in order to sur-
vive. This is not bad. It is a good tendency. Any-
thing which increases efficiency in the production

'of the things man wants is desirable unless it

results in some manner in privilege or some other
injustice. The point here is that the market

Tee Often, in the past, co-operative marketing

standpoint. The advantages of co-operation have

such a type of marketing could compete with that

of private “enterprise. From' the standpoint of
society in general thought must be given to the
problem of efficient production of the things men
desire. Marketing is merely a part of the process
of production. Efficient marketing is in a manner

which meets with the requirements of the con-'

sumer. However, because of the difference in the
nature of private and co—operatively owned enter-
prises there are factors other than those of the
pure business type which must be considered.
There are also items of economic efliciency which
are not apparent at firstsight. It might be that
we do not have an adequate measure for eflici-
ency. Is the amount of profit to be used as a.
sole measure of efficiency? Is the money 'cost of

which is made against co-operation is along the
most logical line and that is lack of efficiency.

’ , think of visiting De”-

inspection of the great
plant of, the Detroit
Packing Company which

business structure ‘is the

:For within the walls of
this modern and sanitary
plant thousands of" head .
of cattle, hogs and sheep
girom the farm’s of Michi-
gan are being slaughtered
and packed every month
and sold to Michigan con-
sumers. 5
For years men have
been asking themselves
what the sense was of
shipping -Michigan Iive
stock hundreds of miles
across country into
another state, in cattle
cars, and bringing it right -
back again to the point of origin in refrigerator
cars. Millions of dollars have been paid in
freight by Michigan farmers and meat consumers

merely because no one in Michigan had the court

age and foresight to establish a plant within her
borders which would turn live stock into'meat and
save ‘these enormous transportation charges.

This economic absurdity continued, however,
with everybody condemning it but nobody act-
ing to remedyit, until a couple of years ago
when a group of men with experience inthe
live stock and packing. business concluded that
the time was ripe to end a farce. and to build
within the fourth largest city of the United States
a modern packing institution. ‘ '

One of these men Was ’Edward F Dold, son
of the well-known Bufialo packer by that name.
Another was Frank L. Garrison, who was brought
up in the packing business. Still another was
Joseph Gardulski, with long and successful ex-
perience in financial matters. And a fourth was
knowh‘ the length and
breadth of Michigan as a successful farmer, live
stock grower and busineSs man. With these men
in the lead the Detroit Packing Company was
launched, and following the usual vicissitudes
which accompany new business enterprises, be-

some of the obstacles it has bumped up against,
of how it has overcome these obstacles andwhat
it has accomplished\.make interesting reading.
Not only is it interesting to farmers because
the'institution' is owned by farmers and man-
aged by men of their choosing, but because, of
far greater importance still, the institution pro-
mises to become the greatest single factor in the

senting a total value of nearly three-quarter mil—
lion dollars.

Nor was this the extent by any means, of the
amount of business done by this concern during
that period. Each month thousands of dollars
worth of dressed carcasses and uncured meats
I are purchased and cut up and cured for the Michi-
gan trade. The Packing Company finds the de-
mand for hams vary greatly in excess of the de-
mands for other portions of the hog and conse-
quently prefers to make a- margin of profit on
buying and curing fresh hams and other cuts than
to slaughter enough, w. for the purpose and

Some savings to Farmers
From the time the‘Detroit Packing Company

announced that it would buy direct from farm-*

ers, certain commission men operating in the
Detroit stockyards have sought to place divers
objections in the path of the company. On one
or two occasions buyers for the Packing Com-

pany ‘were unable to secure any animals at the'

ties depended very largely in pre-war years on
Europe to absorb the world surplus. During the
war European consumption and' production fell to
around three-quarters normal and resulted in
considerable accumulation of surpluses at the end
of hostilities. It was generally expected in trade
circles. that the surplus would be quickly ab-
sorbed by Europe, but the reduced buyingpower
and the lower standard of living forced by war
conditions were not fully considered. As a re-
sult, the enormous surplus of wool brought a

But the company officials

positively declare that

they will not abandon

their policy of dealing

direct with farmers de—

spite the opposition of the

commission dealers.

In January 56 per cent
of the company’s live ‘
stock purchases were ,
made in the Detroit
stockyards and 44 per
cent direct from farmers. f
In February 70 per cent
were from the yards and.
30 per cent from the‘
farmers. But in March'
only 8 per cent were from the yards and 92'
per cent were from the farmers, while in April
yard purchases amounted to only 5 per cent and
the balance of the nearly 4,000 head of live stock
were received direct from the farmers.

All farmers who sold direct to the company;
were saved yardage commissions, etc., which ag-
gregated from $20 to $30 a car. The company
always pays full yard prices on stuff received di-;
rect from farmers with no offset except freight."

      
     
     
      
       
      
     
     
       
       
     
      
  
    
      
    
      
     
    
     
      
       
       
         
    

   
  
 
  
    
   
   
    
  
   
   
  
 
   
 
  
   
  
  
  
  
   
  
    
  
   
  
   
   
  
 
  
  
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
  
  
 
   
    
   
    
   
    

Big Field for Packing Business

Large as is the volume of business now being
.done by the Detroit Packing Company it is only
a drop in the bucket to what it can do and will ’
do as conditions permit the expansion of the
business. Nearly all of the products now being
manufactured in the plant find a :ready sale in
Detroit in competition with the older established
packing concerns, but we are told there is a'
market in that city alone for several times the'
amount of products which the Detroit packers are
now turning out. ‘

As time goes on the company will require an '
ever increasing amount of raw material for its
plants. The officers of the company are anxious
to form a [friendly and mutually beneficial con-
tact with the live stock producers and believe
that Detroit can be made an important live stock'
center which in time will rank with many of 'the
other well—known packing centers of the country.
The concern is rapidly building a reputation for
itself as packers of fine meats, its Star brand
bacon and cottage hams being in particular favor
and demand, owing to the ,delicate and appetiz-
ing flavor imparted by special curing processes.

W.ith the continued conservative management
and confidence of the farmer-stock-holders we _
know of no reason why the Detroit Packing Coma 
pany should not become the outlet in time for the
major portion of Michigan live stock, and by so
doing, lend an impetus to this industry which Wi'?’
make it one of the greatest in the state. ' '1

doubt, have been a serious world shortage during...
the war had it not been for three successive large 
crops from 1913 to 1915, creating a large reserva'

FARMING 0N SHARES

When a. man is farming on the once
third basis on a dairy term does he have
to furnish all of the help or part of it?
Is he entitled to a. third of the corn and
grain (the corn goes in the silo and it
takes all the grain to feed the cows)?
Would like to have some information in
regard to this question and. also on the
wages to be paid for farm help. They say
wages are $30 for a. single man and 840
for a married man. Is that for the sum-

' mer months or the year around? What

is a. married man entitled to besides
house and fuel? You will oblige me ‘by
answering these questions—R. 8.,
cheater. Midi.

The renter furnishes the labor,
team and tools and the owner half
of the live stock other than horses.
The landlord furnishes the land and
buildings and one-half of live stock
and in case the tenant cannot pay
for one half the live stock the land—
lord takes a note.» Possibly in your
case the landlord is furnishing
everything and giving the tenant one
third. The tenant paying the labor-
This is undoubtedly not an unfair
contract. ‘

Last year (1921) the average
wage for hired men in the United
States was $43.32 a month. without
board and with board it was $30.14
a month. Michigan wages ran
$50.50 and $34.30 last year. These
are average year around wages. Of
course wages vary up and down from
this point according' to the ability
and trustworthiness of the man.
Married men usually get house,
g’arden Spot, and some milk and fuel
if there is fuel on the farm.———How-
ard M. Eliot, Professor of Farm
Management, M. A. O.

MEASURING oORN IN CRIB

Would you please tell me how to meas-
ure com in crib? Also grain?—~B. V..
South Branch, Mich.

The following rules from H. L.

Steiner’s book on “Farm Accounts”
regarding measuring corn in crib are
accepted as reliable:

On Cob—Two heaping bushels of

corn on thecob will make one struck '

bushel of shelled corn. Some claim
that one and one—half bushels of car
will make one bushel of shelled corn.
Much will depend upon the kind of
corn,- shape of the ear. size of the
cob, etc.

In crib—To measure corn in a
crib, multiply the length of the crib
in inches by the width. in inches, and
that by the height of the coin in the
crib" in inches. and divide the pro-
duct. by.2,748,‘*and the quotient will
be the‘numbergol‘ heaped bu els or

 
  

 Valli; 091?. the. top and
also. gt the   ‘

  

  

mun-m.  cm. Twmm’un , ,
, smuet be secomnnled by full-

sums together, and divide by 2.
which will give the mean width.
.Corn Shrinkage—00m will shrink
from the time it‘ is hushed in the
autumn, in well~protected_ cribs,
from 20 to 30 per cent by spring.
That is, 100 bushels will shrink to

_70 'or 80 according .to'flhowvdry it '

was when cribbed.

To Measure 'Grsln in Blns——Mul-
tiply the'length of the .131an inches
by the width in inches, and that by
the height in inches and divide by
2,150 ' for struck bushels, and by,
2,748 for heaped bushels.‘The quo-
tient will be the number of bushels
Contained in the bin. - ' '

To find the amount of grain in a

‘ The [right to the'abandoned logs
and tops is probably dependent upon
the original contract of the owner of

the land with the person who bought.

the timber. If ’a. specific time was
provided in the contract in which to
get all what he bought then the rest

would revert to the land . and such .

person who bought the timber would
thereafter have no right to enter the
land for the purpose of removal.

If the contract of purchase of the

O’timber had expired before the sale

to the present owner it would be

largely controlled by the intent-of ,

the seller‘- at the time of the sale of
the land. Afterthe sale of the land
«he would have a reasonable time to
remove the logs and tops and if he
does not remove them within a rea-
sonable time he would be presumed
to have abandoned thermto the pur-
chaser. ,If. he has gone beyond what
the average man would say was a
reasonable time to remove them I
would tobid his entering on the land.

If in an honest construction of the
time he has had to remove it would
seem reasonable to say that he has
not had a fair time to remove them
then I think he would have a right
to remove the logs and tops. He
would not have a right to cut any
timber whatever in, removing them
and would be liable‘for damage on
all he cuts or injures. He is bound
to get it out withoutiniury to the
balance. He would have no right to
enter the land except at such a place
as was provided for entering the
woods, if any, and if none provided,
he must enter-at such place as will
do the owner no. damage or he would
be liable—Legal Editor.

," (REAL-'ESTATE  ,
' RECEIVED a tew Copies ointhe'
Business Farmer and enjoyed
every one.of them._ Some time.
ago I read-an article on .“the kind
of advertising we don’t accept.“ It
was in regard to realestate grafters
who want to get $5 or 31'! from
farmers for listing their farms, etc.
No doubt many northern Michi-
,gan farmers have ,been‘ hit K with
these ads. and-I wish those men
could be put out of business. But
I will say this is nothing compared
to what has been going on here in

at least. \ Some real estate meii‘ here
will not take a certain per cent as
they do in the southern part of the
state for selling a farm, which is
from 2 ‘to 6 per cent. Nothing
unless they sell it. Here they
ask you to state the very lowest
price you will take. If you are real
hard up and anxious to sell you will
sell cheap. The real estate man
finds somexinnocent man with mOney
"in Indiana, Chicago or somewhere
who knows nothing about the good'
and bad land, the land which treats
out of season and the land which
does not. There is good land for
sale here. It «idea not frost and is
fine for fruit and many other crops.
But the stranger does not know.

There were few'good farms sold
as the real estate man could get
the poor land for almost nothing,
which he sold for a big price.

One case I know of the real estate '
men put $1,000 on the owner’s price
as their commission. Another case
$300 was the farmers price for a
small piece of land. The buyer paid
$900.'The real estate men took $600
as their commission. The land. was
misrepresented and the buyer has
long since abandoned the place after
making many improvements. Many
similar incidents have” occured in
this vicinity. Can we put a stop" to
this?——A Reader, Benzie County.

There are grafte‘rs, we suppose, in the
real estate business as in all other kinds
of business, but so long as they do not
evade the law it is pretty hard to exposa
and punish them. Agents who misrepre-
sent property in order to make a sale are
laying themselves open to a civil action.

Any person Who buys a farm or any other
piece of property Without a personal in-

 

 
 
 

spection of the property has nobobdy but
himself to blame if he gets stung. But
that is no excuse tor permitting the graft~
ers to stay in business. The Bureau of
Agricultural Development at Lansing is
laying for the dishonest land company
and real estate agent and expects some
ggzgt to put them both out of business— ~
or.

 

MODERN DRESS _

AM’ an interested reader of your
paper and from time to time
have felt inclined to voice my
humble opiniontof some of the sub-
jects under discussion. Rhoda's. ar-
ticle settled it. ’I, too, am‘a woman,
and I cannot let her view be adopted
by our young men and young girls
(not to mention the older ones)
without protest. ,.
She chooses to style herself
“Rhoda.” would not Salome suit her
better? She says it matters little
how women dress. Now the fact of
the matter is, it does matter a great
deal, if we wish to retain our self-
respect and merit respect from oth-
ers. We canvall dress,neatly,-com-
tortably and at the same time mod-
estly if ‘we will.

I agree with the man from Ing-
ham county, would like to shake
hands with him. Rhoda recommends
Bible reading for him, so he will be
less interested in whatis going on
about him, in that she makes anoth-
er mistake for the more we study
the 'scripture the more hideous and
glaring present-day evils become, it
she Will do like wise she 'will never
again say that .God made the “flap-
per.” .

The more we discuss this subject of
dress the more bewildered “mere man"
becomes. t is an “immoral” dress?
Is a bathing suit immoral? Does the
garb of a circus rider suggest immorali-
ty? Does'the picture of a sleeping wo-
man, with bare arms exposed arouse
wicked thoughts in the minds of the be-
holders? Define the term, “immoral” as
applied to woman’s dress and we may
then discuss the subject with some degree
of intelligence. M regard for woman-
.kind in general lea s me to denounce the
allegation that all women who wear short
skirts, low—necked gems and other com-
fortable forms of dress are leading man

WATER. OUT, ROADS WILL PAY,
SAYS FORD; PROVES IT
OR an amateur, which propa—
gandists say he is, Henry Ford
doesn’t do half bad as a rail-
road operator for the public, his em:
ployes and for himself. A
What he has done for the public
and workers is generally known. For
the farmer he has given improved
service at reduced rates. For the lat-
ter he has given improved labor con-
ditions at increased wages. For him-
self he is having a lot or fun with
the old railroad outfit and is making
it pay handsomely.

The financial statement for the
first years operation shows that Ford
has made a profit of 12 per cent on
the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton bonds.
0n the preferred stock hehas had a
return of 80 percent on his invest;
ment. 0n the common stock, which
he purchased just a year ago his re»
turn. is 200 per cent. That seems to
be the answer to the criticism to,
which the railroad operator—manu-
facturer is now being subjected.

"I am not a miracle worker,” says
Ford. "I simply paid for the railroad.
I own what it was worth and no
more.” When the water is squeezed
out of the other railroads they also
will make big returns without ruin-
ing the public or starving their
Workersa—Copied from Labor by S.
H. Slagle, Harietta. Mich.

We suppose our readers have noted that
the Interstate Commerce Commission has
finally given Henry Ford permission to
reduce freight rates on his railroad. many
months after he a. plied. All'sorts of ex-
cuses are offered ,y other rail heads for
Ford's success with the D. T. & 1., but
none of them seem to fit the case. Labor
has probably suggested the reason. With

the water out the roads can pay reason-
able dividends.—Edltor. ‘

' . TAXES AND CONSOLIDATION

CONTAGIOUS disease without a
A remedy is sure a bad state of
affairs.‘ I have been a reader
, ‘ of your paper for a little over a
year and have been somewhat inter-

fered for the existing burden of taxes
tion. Many of us have had painful
experiences with quack doctors. No
one eVer had a disease, however
dangerous, but nearly everyone had
a remedy. So 'it is today with the

tax problem. ,

states and have had a chance to find :

out something, about both systems

of govern-mentAand have compared..l

the valuations. I find the taxes at
present are about one—third lower
in Ohio than in Michigan. One would
“ naturally favor their government.
They have as many if not more costly
roads than in Michigan.
I noticed a short time ago our
board of supervisors were much op-

posed to the commission form oi‘

1 government for counties. No,wonder.
They would sure miss a great many
good times and a few turkey feasts.
The supervisors a few years ago did
their work in about onedourth the
time that it takes them now. A
great many people in the south part
of the state 'don’t see any need of
this hseless throng oi dog-trotters
traveling over diiierent townships
every spring mixing up valuations.

Another needless expense lathe
way taxes are collected. In this part
of the state we believe the collec—
tion of taxes for all purposes should

halt July 1st, payable at county soat.’

There is certainly a cause for this

, excessive high tax. Remove the
.cause and we will have the desired
effect. I can .hear someone say this

ments at all. I don't expect to pay
‘  ’ the same taxes today as I did 15 or
16 years ago. 7
times the amount on the same. Dro-
perty that, I did 1-6 years ago. _

service started June 15.

Continuous wave .radio telegraph
is being used to broadcast the reports
but it is expected that there will *be
considerable re-buildlng by radio
telephone so that any one in the-
eastern two—thirds of the 'United
States saving radio. telephone re-
ceiving sets may be able to receive
the messages. _ -

Use Government Stations

The use of the Arlington and
Great Lakes stations is part of an ex-
tensive plan to utilize existing gov-
ernment facilities for \establishinga
dependable, Nation-wide system for

broadcasting agricultural news by
radio,
It is said that under favorable

static conditions both the Arlingon
and Great Lakes stations can be
heard over the entire country, but
that under avera/ge conditions the
range is about two-thirds the eastern
part of the United States. The re-
ports will be received by the state de-
partments of agriculture andgagr’i-
"cultural colleges for broadcasting 'by
radio telephone; local and Iiprivate
stations licensed to broadcast agri-
cultural reports; county agents,
shipping associations, and other
farm. organizations; and local arma-
teurs who make a business of copy-

the agricultural reports broadcast by
radio telegraph.
Schedule Is Completed

Extension of the service to all
the high-powered stations mentioned
is restricted at the present time only
because the leased telegraph wire
system of the Department of Agri-
culture over which the. reports are
dispatched for broadcasting does not
reach some of those points. However,
in the‘late summer or autumn when
atmospheric conditions are more fav-
orable for radio work a. move may be
'made to extend the service by relay-
ing messages to the various stations.

The tentative schedule of reports
being broadcast from the Arlington
and Great Lakes stations follows:
After two weeks trial a .fixed lechedj
lule will be established.

report of live stock receipts at five'
markets will be dispatched at 8 a. m.
At 9 a. m. the weather reports which

. _, PORT . 11E, RADIO .
HE Chevrolet Motor Co. has prov-
, ed that the radio equipment op-
, crates satisfactorily in an‘auto-
mobile Without the use of a. “ground
WIre." - ’

The possibilities that this portable

radio receiving station offers include
an almost limitless field of use and
with such tremendous strides as
these made in its development, it ,is
bound to become one 01' the indie-
pensible utilities of modern civiliz-
ation.
. With a car equipped in this fash-
101} it is possible for a family to
drum anywhere within 100 miles of
a broad-casting station and picnic
while the radio in.their car amuses
or instructs them with‘music, ser-
mons, or wireless telegraphy. Edu-
cation and entertainment can be
transported to wherever rpeople con-
gregate. With a few cars equipped
as this one is, a minister could talk
to a do_zen congregations at once.
If the United States' Department of
Agriculture had similar radio equip-
ment in the hands of its county
agents, department 'extperts’
talk to thousands of farmers at once
and thus bringthe tremendous add—
ed benefits to our agriculture that
would be made possible through a,
greater broad-casting of its work.

The‘installation of this equip-
ment in the Chevroleycar is so sim-
ple that it is possible to adapt it to
many uses, and therefore we may ex-
pect to see many cars similarly equip-
ped in the future. It is also only
a matter of a few moments to remove
.the radio equiment from the car
when it is not desired for use there.
It can then be used in the home or
the office, or any other place'de-
sired. -

Just «as anywhere on the high
seas Ships can 'keep constantly in
touch with ports and other ships thru
the use of the radio, now the automo-
bile—the. land ship—can immensely
facilitate distribution or informas‘
tion Lto the great benefit of mankind.

One ingenious amateur, by util-
izing the power of the generator/on
his car, not only receives messages,
but also transmits them.

Such equip-ment makes possible
the use of motor cars as scouts 01‘
reporters of crop, weather or news
messages from any part.“ the
country. ’

sonooL SECkETARY OVER-
DRAWS SALARY

.Has a secretary of a school board a
right to overdraw his wages? If not what -
can be done with him?—-—-T. N., Oscoda
County.

The law provides that the treas-
urer of a school district is the legal
custodian of school moneys. He has
authority to pay out‘ money only for
amounts properly . audited -by the
school board on orders drawn and
signed by the secretary and counter-
signed~by the president or modera-
tor. He and his bondsmen are per-
sonally liable for the‘payment of il-
legal orders, those for purposes not
authorizedby law or those exceeding
the amounts authorized by law.

.The , salary of school officers is i

3 provided for by statute. The pro-

\ vision is different for districts organ-

ized under diflerent acts. The secre-

tary has no right “to draw an amount

in excess of the amount legally fixed.

He is restrained by xlaw from draw—

ing an order for purposes not au-

thorized by law or for an’ amount

exceeding the amount authorized by

law. He can be required to refund

any such amount.——G. N. Otwell, De-

DRAIN CON TROVERSY

B. C and D had a county ditch
voted through their farms. The ditch
was sold in March, 1918, each owner,
except A, taking the job on his own
land. A and B had their ditches dug
during the summer of 1918 and D dug
xhis during the summer‘of 1919, but C
refused to dig his part of the ditch, and
the drain commissioner. though notified
of the danger being done on D’s farm,
did not force him. Finally, when D threat
e‘ned with a lawsuit, C’s ditch was sold
to another party, and dug during the
summer of 1921. . ‘
But it was not dug according to speh
cifications. in fact it .was dug so shallow
. that it did not drain the water out of
' D's ditch, and this spring, when the sides
caved in some, the outlet is obstructed
’ so that D's ditch actually overflowed at
a' low spot, and there is still some water
- seeping onto the farm and small pools of
water standing‘atwthe present date. The
ditch is so full that the land along the
edge of it is soft and unfit for crop pro-
duction. C’s water is running into D.
What Can D do to‘get his farm drained?
Can he resort- to courts and force \the-
county to. provide an outlet for his
water}! .Can he. sue for damages? What

TEACHER AND CONTRACT

mas time she has an entertainment and
loses some school time in preparing for it.

she has violated her contract by not hear-

I would say in reply that as this
teacher signed a second contract she
must now be governed by this sew
cond contract. While she has both
contracts in her possession the sec‘
and contract signed would be the
one that would govern. If the en-
tertainment for which she prepr'ved
was a general nature and a ream 1-
able amount of time was used in pre-
paring for this entertainment she
did not forfeit her rights as a teach-
er under her contract. -

Wilber, Mich. .
The practice of grinding corn and
cob together for feed is followed by
. many. There is no feed value to
speak of obtained from the ground
cob. It does help lighten the ration
and helps to make filler but it re—
quires as much if not more energy . .
to digest the ground cob than is

Another Word About “Missed” Issues
Friends of the Business Farmer:

-From the letters which come to my desk I
learn that there are still a number of our good
friends and readers who have not read my re-
peated explanation of “misse ” issues.

Although conditions over which we have no
control have made it absolutely necessary to
issue the Business Farmer, every other week,
instead of every week since March 25th
——every issuethus missed by our subscribers

has been credited to their paid up sub-
scription!

So in the end no subscriber will “miss” a
single issue to which his subscription entitled
him. ~‘ .
Naturally, we are as anxious as you to see
The Business Farmer, back on afrcgular every-
. Saturday basis, and hope to accomplish this be-
fore September first.

In the meantime, We ask you to be patient
and we are trying to make up in the enlarged
issues every other week, what you miss by not
getting your copy every week.

You know, of course, that this weekly is own.
ed and edited entirely in Michigan and by
Michigan men, and we depend only on the
support of the business farmers of this state
and are therefore, responsible only to them.

Standing thus independent of foreign Own-
ership or political control we believe The Bum-
ness Farmer, can be maintained as the‘leader
of courageous thought and action in the service
of the farming business in this great state of
Michigan! -

 

Horse-Bits or Horse-Sense

NE evening two weeks ago the writer sat in

seemed to be going about the things of ordin-
ary life. just as though they had no thought
about what the heated senators under the big
dome up there were going to do with the tariff

on ‘ ‘horse-bits’ ’ !

And then for some reason we kept thinking
about one of the big catalogs the Chicago
houses send out in which they list most of
things used by humans in their homes, on their
backs or in their stomachs and we wondered
how important a position “horse-bits” occu-
pied anyway in the catalog of human necessi-
tics! . For if, thought we, it takes an hour and
a quarter to discuss the single item 01? “horse-
hits,” how long will it take to pass this tariff
legislation! ‘

In themeanwhile, President Harding may
beg for his ship subsidy, the American Legion
for its bonus bill. but the congress must argue
over “horse-bits!” r .. , ‘

If they sold pink-lemonade, ‘ peanuts and

in the gallery of the senate it would be a circus
to go there even on a hot night! ‘

 

Nero Fiddlcd, While_Rome Burned!
T is summer time in most of the United
States, the birds are singing and we are glad
to get in the shade and drink a big dipper of
ice water from the bubbling spring—in other
words it is warm here and therefore we are
not burning coal for heat.  " :

F1 om past history, of which we seemgto haVe
a convincing amount of evidence, it will Within
six months from this date be cold in mostof the
United States. The snow will be piled high,
lakes and streams frozen over and the window
in the bed-room where we arise will be frosted
over—in other words it will be cold here and
we will have to havo‘heat or We will freeze.

These two facts as We have stated them seem
to us undeniable. Most folks whom We know
would accept them without challenge, although
we admit we do know some who are always
ready to take the negative on any subject.

But admitting, for the sake of argument,
that the United States, which includes you and
me, will be in great need of cohl within six
months, it would seem that the government,
which is supposed to be our paid agent for‘the
protection of our interests would be looking
far enough ahead to see the inevitable result

What has happened in recent years nor blind .

him to his future economic welfare. Organized
agriculture must not sleep fo'r a moment nor
neglect the means at its “command to right the
wrongs "that have been perpetrated upon it.

The farmers have made some, progress econo-

road yet to travel. To permit themselves to be

pay dearly. ' »

Agriculture has a definite mission to per-

The purpose is to insure for those engaged in
farming a permanent prosperity which cannot
be wiped out by one or two bad years. Good
'crops mayfill the farmer with optimism. but
they will not alone insure prosperity. It is
what\the' farmer has left after he—has sold his
crops and paid his hills which counts.

of water is, used as a spray in' orch-
ard-s and n’iii'series.;The addition of
four pounds of fish oil "soap, dis-
solved in hot water makes it more
effective. Common laundry soap may
be useTif the other is not at hand.
The best time to apply it is in the
spring as soon as‘the insects appear,
but any time while they are on the
trees will do. -

The "aphids on the roots are a
more d-iflicult problem. Probably the
most effective treatment' at present
is to remove the earth about the

. trunk of the tree to a depth of four

or five inches, and for a. radius of
from one to three feet, according to
the size 'of the tree, then spread to-
bacco dust, stems or refuse from a
cigar factory, if it can be obtained.
For the large area six or seven

.pounds of dust or stems is advised.

Cover this with as much soil as was
removed. As the rain soaks through
the tobacco and comes in contact
with the roots the aphids will cease
‘to cause trouble. .

‘ Woolly. aphids “do most damage in
the nursery, where blocks of trees
are sometimes ruined. The“ greater
injury is to the roots, which be-
come , brittle and lifeless. Little
swellings characterise the work of
"the insects. Such trees are discarded
by reputable nurserymen.

But while vnurserymen who care
for their reputation destroy trees in-
fested with woolly aphis. it is im-
possible to get them all, besides
there may be eggs on the bark and
these are not easily seen; So the in-
sect should be looked for during the
first and second years after planting.

ORCHARD INSURANCE
I have an apple orchard and wish to
know if there is any pally that in-
sures su'ch property.—-M. ., Barry Coun-
ty, Mich.
The Michigan Mutual Hail Insur-

,nnce Company, Lansing, Mich, may

ance for farm. garden and orchard.

'NozrnanD COMMENTS

Last spring demonstrated the value of
bees in the orchard. When the peach-
es were in bloom, the weather a. art of
the time was fayorable for the ees to
work. As a result tin flowers were well
pollenized and the trees were full of
promise. But when the apples were
blossoming the weather was cold and
damp. Few bees ere abroad. A large
proportion of the b ossonls were, not
fertilized. or so weakly that they were
of no account. Many of the apples that
did form have since fallen. This was the
result through a considerable portion of
Michigan. One or two apples to a clust-
‘ more were
promised. But a loss this year may be
a. gain next. .

One’ of the hopeful signs of the future
is the interest now taken in the buckle-
berry. Owners of swampy land, diffi-
cult or expensive to reclaim,» are ask-
ing themselves why they cannot put it
to good use by planting the high bush or
swamp hucklleberry. The bushes grow
rapidly and soon bear abundantly. There
is a ready sale for the, berries at a
good price and the outlook is good for
the future. Thousands of acres now
little better than worthless, might be
made profitable in this way. "

WHO ARE OUR GREATEST
DOZEN?

* HO are the greatest twelve
I women in .the United States?
, That is the question the ‘Nati-I
r onal League of Women Voters needs
‘9 help in answering. What twelve liv-
ing women in North America best
deserve to serve as examples and in—
spirations to the women of Chile and
the rest of South America?

Senorita Graciala Manduiano, of-
»ficial delegate from Chile to the Pan
.V American Conference of Women, has

rasked the League, at Whose invita-
tion the conference was held, to se-
lect for her a dozen women about
whom~ she will write articles for pub-
lication in the newspapers of Chile
which she serves as correspondent.
They must be living women, she
stipulates. Chile has her heroines
of history, her women patriots, her
women of devotion, and our Anne
Hutchinsons and Hannah Dustins
have nothing to teach that Chile
does not know. What Chilean women
need is the lesson of life of the mod-
ern woman, the woman who has suc-
cessfully dealt with conditions of to-
day, can teach, for the women of
Chile, with all their keen intelli-
gence, their sound educations and
their famous wit, are still in need
of exactly the kind of incentive the
life-stories of soundly useful women
of the United States can give them.

Who are the twelve greatest wo-
. men in the United States? Who are
,the twelve women our Chilean sis-
«ters may best adopt as guiding
lights? The League of Women Voters
asks everybody’s help in answering
the question. ‘

Note—Mail your answers to me
if you wish and I will send them on
or send them direct to the League

Subscribers-For one afllicted with

will be found beneficial:

Three tablespoons of sulphur, 2
tablespoons of creameof—tartar, 1
tablespoon nitrate of potash or salt-

peter. Mix- and put 1 teaspoonful in p

a little milk or syrup and take at
night.

Put 3 tablespoons Epson salts and
1 teaspoon of carbolic acid in 1
quart of water and boil 5 minutes,
bathe hands in it. .Witch hazel is
also good. At night rub lanoline 'or
sweet oil, 1 ounce, with ten drops of
carbolic acid, into the hands draw-
ing on a pair of loose cotton gloves
to keep bedding clean. The hands
should not be kept in water any
more than is necessary, strong soaps
and washing powders are very harm-
ful. Loose gloves should be worn
when dusting as dust irritates.

To keep the hands in condition
always rub perfectly drv after they
are wet. Imperfect drying cause‘
much trouble. .

 

Mrs. M. E.—-—Absolute cleanliness
is the surest way of keeping lice
and mites away. If the hen—house
and r‘oosts are kept clean the chick-
ens will rid themselves of body lice
It is the small
lice in roosts and in pests that weak—
en fowls so that they are unable to
rid themselves of the body lice.

 

 

When a bald-head has reached
the shiny stage there is nothing for

cnn'ro, A NEW PREPARATION
What is Certo?

Certo is a pure fruit product and con-
tains, in a highly concentrated form, that
necessary element. Pectin, without which
you cannot make jelly.

Some fruit juices have
greater or less degree.

Other fruits, such as cherry and straw-
berry, contain no pectin at all.

Partly ripened fruits contain more pec-
tin than fully ripened fruits; that is why
most cook book directions say “choose
incompletely ripened currants and grapes
for jelly."

A dry or wet summer will affect the
pectin content of fruits.

What Does Certo Do?

With Certo you can make jelly and
jams from all fruits, even jelly from the
pectlin-less cherry, strawberry and pine-
app e.

With Certo you use the fully ripened
fruits and. berries with their superior
flavor. ,

With Certo the jelly always “jells.”

have rags to spare I do wish they v'
kindly pack a few pounds in a 'box and
parcel post them to me. I am able and
very willing to pay for them any reas-
onable price and also arcel post charges
if they will 'iust send a card along with
name and address. "

I do want some so badly and I am
willing to return the favor in any way
I can. I will write again soon with some
good recipes. Am cleaning house now,
have had sickness here all the month 0

BE CONFIDENTIAL - ‘

 

I have read with interest Mrs. C. ‘E.

B.’s letter, also Mrs. C. F. M.'s. I am vary
glad tovknow of other mothers interested
in the way of teaching children about
their own bodies as they ask the ques-
tions. Surely no one else can talk to a
growing child as a mother can. There
are so :nany things onthe farm to com—
pare a child’s life with and a child will
become as interested in it’s own makeup
and more so than'in any other kind of
I am the mother of two grow-
ing boys and one growing girl. I answer
all my children’s questions truthfully. I
try to be an interesting listener ,to all
their little stories and troubles their
minds are filled with. when they corn'q
home from school, and I hope to always
be their confident as they grow up.

I think there are too many mothers
who are not interested in their children’s
notions (as they call them) and as the
children grow older they wil sooner we
to anyone else' than mother for things
thev want to know. Also a. father can
explain to his son the things he ought
to know better than any other grown-
un..boy or man. It is grand for father
and'cons to be chums. I have been‘sa

AN you write a story? Have you
ever tried? I am going to give
away ten prizes to the writers

of the ten best stories about the
above picture that I receive within
the next 2 Weeks. ‘ There are five
prizes for the girls and five for the
boys and they are well worth work-
ing hard for. ‘

All you have to do to compete for
one of the prizes is to study the
above picture and then write a story
around the people shown. Do not
describe just what is going on- in the
.picture but write a complete story
centering your plot about these
they are
doing.

Now for the prizes. To the girls I
am giving a needle case containing

’nearly fifty needles of different sizes. .

It is very beautiful and if you girls
do much sewing, or belong to a Gar-
ment Making Club it would be very
handy for you to carry about from
place to place. And we'are not giv-
ing away just one to one girl for the
best story but will give fiVe to five
girls for the five best stories. Each
of the five boy winners will receive
a leatherette pencil case containing
four assorted pencils, a penholder
and a pen point. This case is a
beauty an can be carried. in the
pocket so t at you will always have
a pencil‘with you. The top of, this

“case fastens down with a [snap and

there is a small. pocket or purse on
the side of the case that has a top
that fastens the same way. You
can carry money or inany other
things in this pocket. The case will
be just the thing when you return to
school this fall. The names and ad-
dresses of the winners will be pub-
lished in the Children’s Hour along
with the stories—UNCLE NED.

How to Make

Jam and Jelly _
With Positive Success

New Process Requires Only
-1 Minute’s Boiling and
Never Fails
By‘ Ann Proctor

 

 

 

 

.The greatest cooking authorities in this
country—Good Housekeeping Institute,
Boston Cooking School, Modern Priscilla
Proving Plant. government experts, do-
mestic science teachers, ctc.——-and house-
wives everywhere are hailing with delight
the New Certo Process of making all
kinds of jam and jelly. Anyone, even a
child, can now make jam or jelly of excel—
lent quality, with any kind of fruit in a
few minutes. Only one minute's boiling.
is required, and the result is one-half
more product from same amount of fruit.

Certo (Surejell) is a pure fruit prod-
uct, contains no gelatine or preservative.
It is concentrated pectin, supplied by
Mother Nature in some fruits, now bot-
tled for household use. With it, jam and
jelly making is a fascinating pastime—
no guesswork or worry. Cooking authori-
ties call it "the short—boiling process” be-
cause you boil only one minute. This
short boiling saves the natural color and
flavor of the fruit, permits the use of
fully ripened fruit. and makes one-half
more product from the same amount of
fruit because no juice is boiled away.

With Certo you can make jam or jelly
from any fruit. Peach, pear, or rhubarb
jam, blackberry, elderberry or cherry
jelly, orange marmalade, etc., are easily

It is tenacious to think that co-

The attitude taken by the mass of

been more. rational and sound than

 

formerly. Thisvis, no doubt, due to a

I certain extent, to organized thought

headed by the extension divisions oi!

Saving the profits which usually
go to the. private market agencies,
is looked upon by most farmers as

is very questionable whether this
saving of profit is ever going to be
of sufficient importance to result in
a very great benefit. (Io-operative

From the economic viewpoint the
real essential benefit which is pos-

manufacturer studies his market and
makes goods which the consumer
.wants. Consumer demands are

learns the demand and .theu goes

‘ Thrush results. from an irritation

more especially a diseased condition
of the fatty frog, and is character-
_._ized by‘a discharge of the purulent
character from the cleft of the frog.
Thrush may be caused by. standing
in filthy stables, or running in filthy
barn-yards, hence it occurs more ire-
qnently'in the hind than in the front

TUBERCULOSIS

Would, you please tell me through your
paper what is the trouble with my hogs?
They seem to have a hacking cough. I
lost one last year that would weigh 160
pounds. Was nearly fat when taken. Got
poor and died. One of my brood sows got
it but got over it. Had sevan pigs and
three died at about three months old.
Our local veterinarian said it was caused
from a- hair worm in_ the throat. I am
feeding corn and ground feed. Have given
charcoal and ashes without result. —-

MILK. FROM

 

ONE
QUARTER "
I have a. two-year-old heifer, freshened
March 10th, about two weeks ago began
giving bloody milk from one quarter. It .
started suddenly, being much worse the

BLOODY

~ first night than it has been since. Some-

times it is quite noticeable, sometimes ap—
parently normal. We thought at first she
might have bruised the quarter. or hurt
it some way, but it does not seem to be
tender, and there is a. little lump forming
just above the teat. The heifer had a.
caked. bag when she came in, and that
quarter which was the worst didn't give
near as much milk as the other three for
a month or so. Now it gives almost the
same as the other quart rs. Can you
tell me what causes this, and if it can be

- cured? Is the- milk from this uarter fit

to feed oalves?—‘——H. C. D.,
Mich.

There is- very. little that can be
done for a heifer giving bloody milk
from one quarter. This is caused by
a rupture of one of the small blood
Vessels and there is no method of
treatment. This occurs frequently
shortly after calving when the udder
of the cow is caked and consequently
more liable to injury. Usually this
will stop after a time without treat-
ment. Milk from such a quarter is
satisfactory feed for calves.——J. E.
Burnett, Associate Professor of Dairy .

waited too long before buying
a De Laval. .

0n hundreds of thousands of

going on right on your farm.
Stop it: at once by getting a new

lasts longer and is easier to v

When pullets have been, suffering

Whatever else, you neglect, never 8]
neglect the health of the growing ‘
fowls if {you expect to make .good a

If pullets are well grow, carefully gt

build up a profitable laying strain 5
of fowls. You can not get any 0]

‘pert selections will avail nothing‘ Pi
with sick' roupy pulle‘ts. Proper in
early attention, you give them in the 10
’fall that counts for eggs during the ed
winter months when eggs are high. 813
You read all kinds of “dope” on y si‘
feeding, but it will do you no good vs
with sick roupy pullets. Proper fix
feeding is necessary, but amateur‘ 'g]
breeders should be taught the es- al
sentials of keeping the _fowls in \br
prime conditionthroughout the fall sh
months and have them reach the th
winter months in a healthy rugged 8h
condition and then your good hous- en
_ ing and practical feeding will bring
you a rich harvest in eggs. Turkeys, h
chickens and eggs are the salvation 8
of the farmers and poultrymen'these to
days. I know personally a farmer in b0
my .county, would have been com-
pelled to let the-mortgage take his th:
farm had it not been for a good crop _ an
of turkeys and 300 fine hens shell- f0]

at a premium." This neighbor ac- BC‘
knowledged this fact to the writer
last winter,‘ so I know he told» ‘1' ’ in
me the truth.‘ He had judgment all
enough to keep his pullets in fine co
shape during the fall months, and _ BC(
brought them into laying early: in,  0 int
October and the same was true of pl:=

‘ labor ann- _'

"HILE prospective

culties are tending to-create, an
atmosphere of uncertainty in
,«some business circles, the general

cial'a‘nd industrial. field in the west
is to look for further improvement.
The majority view is that labor dif-
flculties will be cleared up satisfac-
torily and that with good creps the
improvement in general business
conditions will go on steadily. It is
admitted that in the event of a gen—
eral rail strike there would be a
serious backset to the conditions,
but it is heped that such an eventu-
ality will be averted.

Outside of this one feature the
general prospects are good. Build-'
ing operations are increasing in ex-
tent, and the erection of many small
homes and moderate-sized flat build-
ings in nearly every city, town and
village is causing a demand for ma-
terials exceeding anything knOWn in
several years, and the general em-
ployment of labor is, creating in
turn a more extensive demand.

The employment situation is good,
and is improving. The farms are
taking a lot of extra laborers, and
while the idleness at the coal mines
is discouraging in other lines there
is little lack of employment. Money
conditions are no tighter. There is
plenty of money for all legitimate
enterprises, and there also appears
to be a plentitude for investment
purposes. There is a broad demand
for bonds, and the stock market ap-
pears to be absorbing liberal amounts
of money as the demand on the dips.

and loans are expanding.

    

,tendency of leaders in the commer—‘

\

In the general merchandise and a

dry goods lines there is a fairly ac—
tive demand, with mail order busi-
ness said to be showing further im-
provement. Barring some restric-
tion placed on the steel trade by
the coal strike, last week’s reports
of western activities in this line were
favorable.

WHEAT

June 20——The wheat market con-
tinues its way downward, not how-
ever. without occasional advances;
in fact, during the past two weeks
the market has been higher one day
and lower the next with total of ad—
vances amounting to less than de-
clines leaving prices at a lower level
at the end of the fortnight. Re—
ports of crop damage came from the
wheat sections which helped the hull
side of the market but on the other
hand poor export demand and large
supplies had a bearish effect on the
trading. Another bearish factor was
that Argentine wheat was quoted at
3c under American. Exporters have
bought in a spasmotic way and do-
mestic milling demand is [very quiet.
Receipts at Chicago last week ag-
gregated 238,000 bushels and ship-
ments amounted to 1,650,000 bush-
els. The close of last week left
wheat firm but on Monday, June
19th, improved crop weather in the
wheat belt caused the market to
open at lower levels and it did not
return to Saturday’s close at any
time. ‘ ‘

OATS

June ZO—The greater part of the
time during the past two weeks oats
have followed the trend of wheat
but during the latter days of last
week the market developed some
strength owing to renewed buying
both domestic and export. On Mon-
day of the present week prices de-
clined and the market was easy.
The tone of the market has been
easy, with the exception of two or
three days, since our last issue but
declines in prices only amount to 2
cents where the market has been the
easiest. We must repeat that we
can see nothing in the near future
of the market that would warrant
much lower .prices. But ' should
they go lower there are several rea-
sons why they should return".
