'IFOBEIGN ‘MILK MARKET?
is the opinion of a prominent
French importer that the trade
in condensed milk, which has

been rapidly declining in the past
year, will continue to fall of! pro-
gressively and that in five years from
now there will be no call whatever
for American condensed milk in
France. This conclusion is not
borne out by investigation, however.
Adverse influences are bearing heav-
ily upon the entire business, but
there is no reason why.American
trade in special brands can not be
maintained and developed. The ad-
verse factors referred to are of two
classes. The first has to do with
general considerations such as the
unfavorable exchange and reduced
buying power, all of which apply not
only to France, but to other impor-
tant consuming countries. A second
class of trade diiiiculties is to be con-
nected more particularly 'with
France. This class includes (a) A
low per capita consumption of milk,
as the people are by habit wine
drinkers and use little milk, even in
their morning coffee; (b) a rapid
restoration of live stock, with in-

stocks, of which a"

" in: bad condition; and (d) the"

French discriminative \tariff, which ‘

confers an initial advantage upon,

competitors against American pro- ‘

ducers in the canned-milk market.

Oflsetting these
may be mentioned certain favorable
factors, such as superior American.
manufacturing technique, with pro-
duction costs that enable the pro-

ducers to turn out better brands,

for the money. On the negative
side is a growing recognition that
the canned-milk business has been
overdone in Europe. A reaction has
already set in with marked curtail-
ment, especially in Switzerland.
Further, continental dairying tends
to revert to normal conditions under
which surplus milk is converted into
butter and cheese. In brief, the con-
tinental dairy trade possesses a valu-
able gOOd-will asset in the cheese
business, whereas in the condensed-
milk industry it has yet to acquire
a position of primary. In Turkey,

Greece, Austria, Germany and Po-‘
land the sale of condensed milk is a“

question of finance rather than ac-
- tual demand. In the case of France

MARINE CITY FARMERS
' ‘ OPERATE
NE of the new co-operative en-
terprises of St. Clair county is‘
I that of the Marine City Farm-
ers’ Co—operative Elevator »Associa-
tion. This association is composed
of 143 farmers in the vicinity of
Marine City and Algonac. TheyI have
purchased the Baldwin elevator pro-
perty. In addition to the hay and
grain trade, they. expect to handle
coal, feed and suchtother supplies
as may be purchased in large quan-
tities.

At their first annual meeting held ‘

in Marine City, Wednesday, June.

28th, the following oflcers' and di- v

rectors were elected: -

John Volker, Marine City, presi-
Robert Baker, marine City,
vice-president; H. A. Shaw, Alonnm.

secretiry; Andrew Hahn, Marine .

City, director; Robert Folserts,
Algonac, director; Charles Reichle,
Marine City, director; H. F. Labuhn,
Fair Haven, director.

They have secured the services of
Mr. L. Thomas as manager. Mr.
Thomas, who is formerly of Grand
Blanc, is considered one of the most
successful co-operative elevator man-
agers of Michigan. .

This territory r comp es one of
the best farming sections in St. Clair
county. With this a a foundation
on which to build, the Marine City
association bids fair to. become one'
of the strongest. co—operative mar-
keting associations in this section
of the state.

shipments, of corn and sugar, according to a sur-

of Commerce, Corn and wheat have. practically
changed positions ,as compared with the first five
months of 1921, corn exports being“ double those
of-last year, whereas wheat exports are less than
half of those for the January-May period of 1921.

Several factors have aflected the trade in these
twq commodities. ‘Declining stocks of wheat in
this -country have helped to .sustain domestic
prices. 0n the other hand, there has been an
enormous surplus of corn at a relatively low price

-as.ycomp‘ared «with wheat, rice, barley and other

competing cereals. In addition, corn. has been
used very largely in relief work, which has taken
considerable quantities, and its use for this "pur-

> pose has undoubtedly attracted the attention of

Europeans to this cereal, which heretofore has
not been very popular on the continent. Its low
price has also caused it to be used more freely
in Europe as Mod 'for live stock and in brewing
and distilling; .

000,000 pounds for the pre—war period. This enor-
mous demand for sugar confirms the statement
made by the Department of Commerce in Janu-
ary that the world sugar stocks were low and
the situation at that time justified the belief that
not only the large surplus of old sugar then held
in Cuba would be readily absorbed, but the new
crap as well. Sugar production has been slower
to recover in Europe than any of the other agri-
cultural crops, owing partly to the large amount
or labor involved in the’production and also to the
lack of fertilizer during the war.

As an animal fat there is practically nothing
to compete successfully with American hog lard.
It is expectedthat large exports of~this product
will continue, as there is no other region that
can produce an animal fat at so low a cost.

“On the'other hand, the large exports of cotton-
seed oil,"which were well developed in the pre-
war period and continued up to last year, have

shown a remarkable decline. This is in part due ‘
to the' very short crop of cotton seed last year
and also to the fact that Europe is now taking in—

DANISH FARMERS GET 50% BEET
SUGAR PROFITS ’
ANISH sugar beet growers and beet sugar
factories are operating under contracts
whereby the growers receive fifty per cent of the
net profits of the factories and of all other earn—
ings over five per cent paid as dividends to fac-
tory shareholders. Simultaneous with general
agricultural and industrial development, the cul-
tivators, with that genius for co—operation which
characterizes the Danish farmer, joined in co--
operative societies whose officers closed contracts
with the factories and whose experts devoted
themselves to crop improvement, Vice Consul E.
Gjessing, Copenhagen, states in a report to the
Department of Commerce.
When the first‘sugar factory was built in 19.07,

y it was planned to produce sugar for export only

but the domestic absorbed its total output, and
due to the continually increasing per capita con-
sumption of sugar Denmark will not be able to
export raw sugar to any appreciable extent. Dur-
ing the European War Denmark was one of the
few countries where sugar was relatively abund‘
ant and cheap.

Sugar beets are grown principally on the is-
lands of Fyn, Lolland, and Falster and these sec—
tions during late years have been able to. hold
their own population due to the increase of the ,
industry and the intensiveness of crop attention,
while 'other agricultural sections have sent their
increasing surplus population to the cities and
towns. "

The efiorts of the co—operative societies’ ex-
perts have been succeesful in increasing the per-
centage of sugar in beets from 6.65 in 1873 to
seventeen per cent in 1921.

V a Shall Farmers Hold their Crops in the Fall or Sell Them?

Could you give me any'information to be used for a
Grange discussion on the question: “Is it best to sell
the crops when harvested, or hold them for higher
prices?” J.*'C. 8., Charlotte. Mich. ,

' . HIS is an old, old question. l’l‘here‘is only one
ansWer to it: If every farmer tookhis crops

l'to market as soon as harvested there wouldn’t

‘be'any market. It isonly because farmers. and,
middlemen are'wiiling to hold crops. and specu-

. late upon their future prices'that we have such

'a thing as a market. 

What is a market, anyway? Webster says it’s
an “opportunity for buying and selling commo-
dities." When more goods are offered for sale
than there are buyers totake them we have a
dull market and prices go down. When the do

, mand is for» more goods than "can be supplied we I.
 have"an active market and prices go up.

The
more 'goods that are offered for sale during a

7 :given period in excess of what the market can
.‘absorb, the duller the market and the lower the

. prices will become. , _. . ,
 j _ ltis therefore, evident that should all the farm-
ers of the United‘States, attempt to harvest sill

their “crops- within one month or two months or
even six months after they are harvested. their

“market would be, absolutely- destroyed;

FARMERS GETTING READY FOR THEIR
_COUNTY PICNICS.

HE farmers’ picnic is an annual event in most

— ’ cOunties‘ of Michigan, and there is probably-

no event of the year more greatly enjoyed. This
year’s picnics will be further enlivened by the
horseshoe pitching contests which have been
Scheduled by the county agents and the several
farm organizations. ‘

Most of the farm bureau picnics will be held
the middle of- August and we are glad to present
on tohse of
which we have been advised.

Howard Scheduled at Branch County

The Branch County Grange, Gleaner and Farm
Bureau picnic _is scheduled for August 17th, when
Pres. Howard of the A. F. B. F., has been invited
to speak. Chas. M. Gardner 0 fthe National
Grange has also been scheduled and the Gleaners
invited to send a speaker. The horseshoe pitch-
ing tournament will be put on .at this time.

Muskegon county also holds its farmersflpicnic

. on‘iAugust 17th and County Agent Long says he

is making every preparation for a, successful

horseshoe pitching tournament at the same time.

place the elevators have not the capacity to re-
ceive this Wheat. It would have to be held in
storage on the farm. In the second place the in—
formation spread through the world’s wheat
marts that the farmers of the United States stood
ready to sell their wheat from the machine would
cause a veritable panic and prices would sink to
nothing.

It is mighty fortunate for the farming industry
that some farmers are willing to hold their crops
and market them gradually throughout the year.
No greater calamity could happen to the country
than for them to depart from this wise practice.
The Hive] losses which farmers may be occasion-
ally subjected to as a result of this practice would
be a mere drop in the ocean to the losses they
would enter if they all sold in the fall.

Both extremes of marketing are to be avoided.
It is not good business for a farmer to sell all
his crops in the fall if he can conveniently hold
them, hor to hold them all until spring if there
is any tall and winter market for them.

One of the greatest objectives and probably
what will be the greatest achievement of the co—
operative movement is the educational campaign
it has given rise to, to induce farmers to market
their crops in an orderly fashion.

It would be to the best interest of all con- '
corned if farmers everywhere would divide their
marketing into two or more periods. Let part
of the cereal crops be marketed as soon as ready;
another portion a couple months later; still ,,
another portion a few months later, and the bal-
ance within thirty or sixty days of the new crop. ’
Thus, the agencies required in the marketing and, ‘
financing of the crop will not be over-taxed, the 
market willbe stabilized, and higher profits will ‘_
be returned to the farmers. There is still much‘to  '4
learn about the, production of crops, but in their
intelligent ,ma‘rk'eting we are still in the .; cradle L

-A some: of the accounting department at the Utica
ofiiceimf {the Dairymen’s League Co-opcruiiive Ass'n,
Inc”; here several million dollars’ worth of business is
y recor, daeaoh month.

‘ A V .‘CQFQPERATIVE selling organization natur-

iaffiy wants to find a market for the entire
output" of its members, and to the best advantage.
But although the old Dairymen’sLeague was able
to dispose of practically all the milk of its mem—
bers, the best rate it could obtain for this milk
was a price based on the returns from milk con—
verted imo dairy products such as butter and
cheese, even though a good part of the milk sup-
plied the dealers was actually sold by them in
its fluid form, at a higher price.

The new Dairymén’s League Co-operative As~
sociation, Inc., being stronger and better orga—
nized, was able to make a better contract with
the dealers. This contract divides the milk into
four classes, the highest price being paid for
Class 1. The classification remains practically
unchanged from month to month, except for
minor changes, and the seasonal variations in
price. In brief, the contract for June, 1922, cov-
ers the following:

, Class 1. Milk sold in fluid form; or made into
(li’eam and the skim milk sold in fluid form; or
milk used in other ways not specified in the con-

 tract. The price for the month was fixed at $1.75
per 100 pounds.

Class 2. Milk made into cheese of the soft
cheese type, such as Neufchatel, Pimento, Cream,
Olive, Camembert, De Brie, etc., or into cheeses
other than those specified in classes 2, 3 and 4;
milk made into cream and the skim milk used
for making milk powder, plain condensed milk,
or other products; milk made into pllain con—
densed milk; or used for the manufacture of

. CCORDING to the most reliable reports ob—

}s’ tainable, the acreage planted to beans this

' year in the six states of New York, Michigan,
California, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona,
is 1,074,000 acres, indicating a crop of 12,485,
000 bushels. In 1921 the total U. S. crop was 3.-
902,00 bushels.

A number of causes are responsible for the
increased acreage. When the large crops of 1913
and 1919, added to the imports, broke the bean
market and resulted in a period of improfitable

"5‘ prices thousands of old-time bean growers quit
the game and went to raising the more profit-
able sugar beets and cereals. The small crop of
1920 and the smaller crop of 1921 soon cleaned
up the surplus stocks. The market found its feet
and the high prices prevailing the last
four months again caught the atten—
tion of the farmer. As the price of
beans went up, the price of sugar and
of sugar beets went down, so this year ‘
in Michigan we have a larger acreage
of beans and a smaller acreage of
sugar beets. Simultaneous with this
readjustment the bean jobbers who
saw their business going glimmering
last year, conducted an effective edu—
cational campaign which no doubt has
had an influence on the acreage.

The all—important question is, of
course, what effect the larger acreage
and probably the larger production
will have upon next fall’s and win-
ter’s market. The following bulletin
recently, issued by Secretary Drees of
the Michigan Bean Jobber’s Ass’n, dis—

i ; cusses this Subject as well as general

 ‘ bean statistics; . r ,

from previous years will be marketed .
soclosely by September 15, and stocks
in all hands will be so light that it

seems an opportune time to present

4192

The statute, Section and
4193 of the Compiled Laws of 1915,
provides that any cut-over or wild
lands, as defined therein, which
shall be actually purchased by any
person for the purpose of making a
home, shall be exempt from the pay-
ment of all taxes for the period of

\

five years thereafter, provided, how- .

ever, that the purchaser thereof ac-
tually resides on and improves at
least two acres thereof each and
every year of the said five years in
a manner to subject the same to
cultivation, and/ further specifically
provides that the exemption provided
for therein shall not extend to more
than eighty acres purchased by any
one person.

Section 4193 provides that any
person claiming exemption under
said act shall make application to
the supervisor for exemption at the
time assessment of the township is
made and the supervisor shall enter
the person’s name upon the assessp
ment roll and the description of the
land, the same as though taxes were
to be spread upon the land, and re—
fer the application to the board of
review of the township, who shall,
ii.‘ the conditions entitling exemption
have been complied with, order that
the following be written after the
description:

"Exempt under the cut-over
and Wild land act, first year."
It further provides that, each sub-

sequent year thereafter if the con-
ditions have been complied with dur-
ing said five year period, the same

course shall be followed with respect

to said land. "

This statute, nor any other sta-
tute to which my attention has been
called, does not specifically provide
a method whereby the owner of such
cut-over land may be reimbursed
the tax paid thereon without appli-
cation first having been made for
as provided by statute
and in ignorance of his right to said
exemption—A. B. Dougherty, Depu-
ty Attorney General.

SCHOOL ELEUI‘IONS AND
ELECTORS

Sec. 1, Art. 8. of the constitution reads
that at all cloctions in this state an
elector must have a residence in the state
of six months and, .30 days in precinct
to be qualified to vote at' any election.
Would this govern school elections?

Is Act No. 301 as amended in legisla-
ture of 1921 governing school elections in
conflict with the above franchise clause?
Sec. 17 of Act 301 “uses repeatedly the
term “citizen of the United States? in-
stead of “elector of Michigan" in referr-
ing to qualified voters at school elec-
tions. and mentions property owners
liable for school taxes _. in connection
therewith. Please treat this question so
as to make it clear to the tax-payer who
may vote. Can a tax-payer vote at school

Sam Silvermann, operating under

he would liquidate his debts in the ‘

meantime. Sam is now pushing a

keep his creditors of! his back. Sev-

client would pay up,‘ but each time.
they have suffered a lapse of mem-
ory. Just now the State Bureau of
Foods and Standards is trying to re-
fresh it. ~

CONTRACT TAX

Having read your article on the con-
‘ tract tax, there are two thing that are
not clear to me»: First, when did this law
' ‘ into effect. and second, would it af-
ect a contract made rior to the law?—

. P 8., Rives Junct on, Mich.

The law’ relative to the specific
tax on‘ land contracts and mort-
gages went into effect January lst,
1912.

The law provides that every mort—
gage or contract upon which the
specific tax is not paid shall be sub-
ject to the provisions of the gen-
eral tax law; therefore every con-
tract is subject to this law whether
given before it went into effect or
not. ’If the owner does not take
advantage of the privilege of pay-

ing the specific tax, the unpaid bal- ,

ance on his contract is subject to
the general tax law—Board of State
Tax Commissioners.

CLIMBING ,VINES

Is the Weigela vine 'a climbing vine?
It has trumpet shaped flowers. Is the
Wisteria a climbing vine or just a shrub?

Can I get the roots of a French Lilac? -

I would like to know the prices and
where I may be able to obtain the above.
‘—Mrs. F. B., Onaway, Mich.

The Weigela is not a vine but a
flowering shrub growing to a height
of about six to eight feet, producing
trumpet shaped fiowers- about one
inch long, usually colored pink but
sometimes is white or dark red de—
pending upon the particular variety
grown.

Wisteria is a climbing vine that
is a very desirable one for training
about porches or arbors, producing
large drooping bunches of flowers

I usually purple in color. ‘

Most of the lilacs of the better
varieties grown inthis country were
[propagated abroad and hence. are
sometimes referred to as‘F‘rench li-
lacs. However, these plants are now
propagated in this, country, an em-
. barge having been placed on the im-
, portation oflthis stock a few years
ago to prevent the importation of
troublesome insects and diseases.
You may obtain the nicer varieties
"of lilacs from the Greening Nursery

yell Nursery of Birmingham, Mich. '

drain this lake by cutting a ditch across
our field, a distance of about so rods.
He said he would give me a job of cut-

PLANTING ASPARAGUS BULBS

Will 'you please tell me how to plant
asparagus bulbs? I put mine in shallow
earth but since then some people told me
I should have put- them many deep in
the earth. Please tell me the correct way.
—Mrs. B. m, ewberry. Mich.

The proper way to plant asparagus
is to .place' the plants deep enough
in the soil so that the patch may
be,disked or cultivated during the
season without doing any injury to
the crowns. .Usually we recommend
that the young plants be set in the
bottom of a, trench 8 or 10 inches

 

deep or at least deep enough so that

the crown of the young plant will
be at least 6 inches below the nor-
mal level of the soil. Not more
than 'two or three inches of: soil
should be placed over the crowns
at the time of plantinggthe trenches
being filled in later by subsequent
cultivation. ,

or become hard or if it has consid-

FOX FARLIING PROFITABLE

I would like your advice on men trav-
eling through the country trying to sell
silver gray fox, claiming they are such

 AMONG  '

18 little story of the South, is
' written in, the hopes of show-
, ing our Michigan people some
of the conditions in r ,
down the great Mississippi River in
the flood water districtsflof Arkan-
sas. Having crossed “The Father
of Waters," entering Missouri at St.
Louis, the writer found conditions
to be very similar iniuissonrl to
that of Michigan, it at least one re-
spect, viz-~11: would not matter--much"

whether one was kicked with a mule

in Missouri or by a Ford in Michi-
gan. ._ The Mississippi with all of
her ettributorles was exceedingly
high on the date of May first, she
having'just passed the danger per-
iod of high water mark, and statis—
tics show that the water level' at
about this time is the highest known
for a term of years.

Agriculture is the chief pursuit of
the natives of Missouri and Arkan-
sas, corn, hogs and cotton are the
principal crops grown, that portion
of Missouri being eastern and cen-
tral part of which the writer was fa-
vored to see would strike a Michigan
man as being a rich, level, loamy
agricultural section with great fu—
ture“ possibilities. Along the mouth
of the Ohio and’ down the Mississ-
ippi, much damage has been done in

the flood districts. Alllthrongh this '
section corn planting was completed I

and the crop ruined. In most of
sections the cotton crop was not yet
planted. In some instances on the
low lands the water raised so high
as to flow into the second
windows of the buildings. Many
millions of dollars of damage has
been done in the lower « Mississippi
district through “this high water
period.

Arkansas, to the writer, has a
wonderful future agricultural possi—
bility and to the Northern traveler
it has the appearance of a new un-
developed agricultural section; but
the facts of the case are that many
sections here have been settled yars

‘ ago by rich southern cotton plant-

ers. If such a place is known to
man it appeared to the writer from
general conditions surrounding this
section the homes of southern no-
bility, the tenant farmer and the
Negro, that this could be termed the
place of self contentment. ‘

At Newport, in eastern Arkansas,
in the >White River Vellley, at the
foot of the Ozark Mountains is one
of the most typical sections of South-
ern planters life., Here you Iind the
busy business man, none too busy
to devote an entire day to the bone-
fit of the traveler, while the tenantry
leisurely leans idly on his has long-
ing for someone to stop their he
might discuss the future prospects
of the unplanted~crop, which may
never develop, at the same time
the dark and shady night Negro
with gasping breath and dimmed
vision is hoping that his boss may
for all
time that he may be relieved of any
further effort on his part.

The land is owned in large tracts

from one to eight thousand acres, "

or even more, by landlords who may
live in St. Loom/Memphis, or New
Orleans, and is tenanted out in small
parcels to poor white. trash on a
share basis of the crop grown, usu-
ally, the landlord furnishing every-
thing, grub staking the tenant dut
and receiving half to three-fourths
of the cotton crop.’ The result is
after the tenant works from three
to'eight years for the landlord he
is farther «in debt to him than when
he began, the landlord then takes
all he has, turns him loose to the

commons, and sum stakes another

tenant. _' .

an acre, while-the improved .land- is
worth approximately $100 an acre.
They have.125 tenant farmers with
hundreds of Negroes to workthis
plantation, the production of ‘which
isapproximately 4,500 gln‘ bales of
cotton weighing 600 pounds per
bale, and a cotton seed production
of 45,000 pounds. The price per
bale at the present time for the best
long staple cotton is. about $100,
however, the price went up on May
2nd, 71 points, or $3.75 per bale,
and it is predicted that‘cn account
of the great floods in the south cot-
ton planting will be retarded to
such a late date that a very poor
staple Jill be grown this year, and
it is expected that cotton prices will
go amazingly high before the year
is over. The seed value in its raw
state before drying and milling is
worth about $30 per ton, and brings
in a handsome profit to the ginning
business. ' -,

.chderful advancement in the
perfection of homes and home con-
ditions could be brought _about by
the state and government in this

humanity lives, especially the poor
white people, is appalling. The
buildings they call. houses are noth-
ing but shacks, set upon posts from

  
   

’4 to 6 foot high, that during the

high water period the water might
flow safely under. them, and when
the water subsides that the same
pilace may be made beneficial as a
sun shelter for the famous Arkansas
Razor back hogs which are found
in abundance in_ this section and are
all that the name emplies. '

The people are of wonderfully
kind disposition-and very hospitable
and it was the writer’sgood fortune
to be entertained at Newport by the
Newport Chamber of Commerce and
given a sight seeing drive for many

miles by some pf Newports leading-

business men. They have a great
desire that people from the north
would migrate to Arkansas and there
establish their homes permanently
under generail northern conditions,
thereby enlightening the southern
planters as to the diflerence between
sections of our great commonwealth.

In the writer’s judgment many
lives iviu be lost through the drink-
ing of improper water, leaching in—
to their water cisterns from the
overflowed lands. This water in
many instances being polluted by
dead animals and even in some in-
stances by human beings. How-
ever, the conditions Vare now fast
improving and in the ten day period
which I was _through this section
the waters have subsided and in the
higher sections a second planting of
corn is resumed, and the planters
are new preparing their cotton beds
as rapidly as possible.

but cheaper transportation may de—
monstrably be had without cutting

saving; profits on the seven billion
dollars of water in railroad stock

such possibilities do not appeal to r.

my, good wages make a'good mar—
hot for wheat. Since there is no wall
'etween farmers and wage earners,
,ince men often pass from one oCcu-
'ation‘ to another, the returns from-
arming tend to be equalized with
ages. many papers have urged
age earners to oppose farmers;
'orkers’ schools, labor papers and

When Christ came He did noth-

But Christ's mission was entirely
spiritual. He came to organize a
church that was to have no civil au-

work under all governments. .

That church could not decide even
civil cases, much less have any juris-

the punishment'of evil doers” and
how can punishment be just and
not be according to the crime com—
mitted. What can be more just than
God’s penalties of an eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth and a life for a
life. . '
_ If we deny to the state the right
ever to take human life how can
we expect our ofiicers to arrest and
to imprison desperadoes? Evenif the
officers did capture them by sur-
prise how long would it take for
their friends to rescue all prison-
ers from unarmed guards. -

Take the case of Harry Tracy. He
was serving a prison sentence and his
friends helped him and his brother-
in-law escape provided with wea-
pons and they left a trail, of inno—
cent blood trom the prison to the
ocean and back to the wheatfleld
where Harry was shot. Was that
better than capital punishment?
When God gave 'us the state and the
church He gave to each a work of
their own and the best means for
each to do their work with and they
no more ought toexchange means
to work with than the stone mason
and the carpenters. ought to change~
tools—Francis G. Smith, Isabella
Co'unty, Mich. .

This panel is optional and for ur
description we will not need any
panel.

After buying the above mentioned
articles, you can proceed to mount
them'-on a piece of board as a base.
For those who prefer a more fin-
ished looking set, a' panel can be
used, but after reading this article
you can mount your set in any box,
nicely finished, with the panel in
front and binding posts leading to
your two sets of batteries and to
your telephone receivers. Always re-
member in mounting that all wiring
should be as short as possible, and
connections of the best, otherwise
the detector will be noisy. /

Those of you who have a 32 volt
home lighting outfit in your homes
need not buy any battery, but may
use 3 cells for your 6~volt “A” bat-
tery and the balance for your “B”
battery. ,

Notice that the vacuum tube sock-
et has your connections marked P,
G, Fx, F-, this means that the wire
that leads to your plate is connected
to P, the wire to the “‘grid” is con-
nected to “G”, and the A battery (6
volt) is connected to F): and F-
which is the positive and negative
connections for the filament in the
tube.

Mount your tube socket, and
rheostat and grid leak and condens-
er as close together on a. board as
possible leaving a little space to have
room to make connections. Now con-
nect them together and be sure you
follow the diagram, remembering
that X means positive and —- means
negative terminals of the batteries,
and where a wire is shown crossing
another ‘wire it means connected to
a wire is shown looped over another
wire it means it passes over or under
but is NOT CONNECTED and MUST
NOT TOUCH. .

Wl u adjusting this detector al-
ways remember to start with the
A battery turned ofi.’ and, turn it on
gradually until the filament lights .
quite bright'y. The filament burns
out quite easily and then the bulb
is useless, butif handled carefully
a detector tube jwill last for about
1,000 hours of use, more or less.

As the filament is lit, listen care-
fully, and when you hear signals,
turn it up and down-till you get the
clearest and loudest signals. When
thru listening-in turn off the A bat-
tery and so prolong the life of your

INSTAL SET IN GRANGEJIALL

I am interested in the buyin' of two

/
receiving sets—-on‘e for our locag Grange
hall in groom 24x40 ft. and the other in
ordinary living rooms for personaleaxnn
ily) use. The’flrst we hope to secure at
once and attempt to pay for it by giving
programs, for it will be one of the first
installed locally.

Will you advise us as to the construc-
tion requiremnts of a, set suitable for our
locality? We do not care to do any build-
ing or assembling ourselves as none of
us are well enough informed and we
want it in use as soon as possible. Of
course we want to hear Pittsburgh, Mad-
ison, Chicago, Lansing, Detroit, etc.- For
the hall, we want this loud enough for use
as public entertainment of 50 to 75.
people; for family use, at least as land as
a. phonograph. In both cases we want ,a.
loud speaker—like your advice as to the
best kind.

What kind of aerial would give best,
result for the set you recommend? Would
vacuum tube detector and two-step am-
plica’tion be sufficient for our needs? Also
cost. .

Do you think there may be such im-
provementsby fall as to make it wise to
wait until fall before buying. With pres-
ent apparatus, would static interfere with
summer programs seriously? We want
what you consider a little better than or-
dinary in a set as far as results areTcon-
corned. It must be. simple enough for or-
dinary folks to operate. however.

Also we shall be grateful for warning
against the most common mistakes of
amateurs. Will you advise reliable com«
panies; also a, good magazine? '

I am reading your department in the
M. B. F. and find it.very helpful. How-
ever, there is such a variety of material
in our magazines and new rumOrs all the
time that I' feel we need your advice as

Your very interesting letter in re-
gard to radio is one that will require
a rather more elaborate reply than

'can really be given in a short article,

but will try to give as much inform—
ation as will enable you to buy safe-
ly. Your idea of buying a complete
set is good, and you will be saved a
lot of trouble in operating a home
made set as the average home made
set has so many poor connections in
it that you never get the satisfaction
that a good set will give you. .How-.
ever a home assembled set, if prop-
erly made will be very much cheap-
er, give you more real pleasure as
you feel as if you had helped create
something worth while as well as
giving a good working knowledge of
a receiving set. _

any given set. Strange to say some
days one hears better from the cast
than from "the west. Other days it

p1ates,gone for small bolts and one
for large ones. I also have equip-
ment for- shoeing hOrses so that I
can set a shoe at any time. This
shop has been on my farm for about
ten years and I would not be with-
out it. For the small amount which
the tools have cost it has saved me
a good many dollars in trips to town.

.There ‘are several standard makes,
such as Clapp—Eastham, Adams-Mor-
gan, Tuska, Amrad, Deforest, West-
inghouse, Collins-Kennedy, Radio
Corporation, each and all make good
radio sets and youwill have quite a
choice of designs and prices; how-
ever, be very careful about buying
any kind of set you are offered at a
low price especially if not made by

There is a lot of “junk” on the mar- '
ket today and many dealers do not

I do not belive’ that the improve-
ments by fall will amount to any-
thing, except the rare possibility of
lower prices, yet the biggest demand
is in the winter,. hence lower prices
are not very likely to come about for
about a year if at all.

Sometimes static will interfere
with summer receiving, but there
are many days that static will never
bother. Even in winter static bothers
now and then. The real interference

1,820,000 Telephones [Moved

In the telephone business every day is "moving
day." Telephone subscribers are probably the
most stable and permanent portion of our popula-v.
tion; yet during the past year one telephone out of
every seven in the Bell System was moved from one
place of residence or business to another at some
time during the year.

The amount of material and labor, and the extent
of plant changes involved in ustation movement"
are indicated by the fact that this item of service
cost the Bell System more than $15,000,000 in l 921..

To most people, the connecting or disconnecting
of a telephone seems a simple operation of installing
or removing the instrument. As a matter of fact, in
every case it necessitates changes in the cables and
wires overhead or underground. ' It also necessitates
changes in central office wires and switchboard
connections; in subscribers' accounts and directory
listings; and frequently requires new "drop" lines
from open wires or cables.

The problems of station movement are among
the large problems of the telephone service. Bet
cause of the double operation of disconnecting and
re-connecting, the work involved is often twice as
great as in the case of new subscribers. With nearly
2,000,000 changes a year, it is only by the most ex-
pert management of plant facilities that Bell service
is enabled to follow the subscriber wherever he goes.

Financing the Farmer ~

WING to the apathy and in some cases the
O antagonism of the bankers of Michigan
the War Finance Corporation loaned very few
of its funds in this state. The farmers of other
states, however, profited enormously by the
increase in capital available for loaning which
the Corporation made possible. Despite the
criticisms directed against the Corporation the
facts are that the loaning resources, of the
country were increased by nearly 30_0 million
dollars and the pressure which was being exert-
ed against nearly all borrowers to pay them
loans was temporarily relieved. In a measure
then, Michigan farmers secured some benefit
from the functioning of the Corporation al-
though the actual cash they received from that
source was small. , ‘ ,

But by far the greatest legacy which the War
Finance Corporation will leave to American
agriculture is the interest‘it has succeeded in
awakening 0n the part of the country’s finan-

cial heads in the welfare of the farmer. For‘

years there has been a vague sort of feeling in
financial circles that the credit machinery of
the country was somehow inadequate to meet
the needs of farmers. Nearly every year banks
were stressed to carry farmers from the time
they harvested their crops to the time they
marketed them. Often farmers were forced to
dump their products on a market already over-
supplied in order to comply with the demands
of their bankers that they pay up. These facts
have been generally known and commented on

for years but nothing was done to improve _

the situation until the War Finance Corpora-

tion came into being as. a purely emergency.

organization. This has served the purpose .for
which it was created, and as soon as its loans
are repaid it _Will retire from the banking field.
During its brief existence it has shown how
easily the farmers’ credit needs can be taken
care of without trespassing upon the interests
of any other class. _

Speaking before the Illinois Bankers’ Ass’n,
Mr. Dwight F. Davis, director of the War Fi-
nance Corporation, said: . '

“It is not sufficient to forget the lessons’ot an
emergency until another time of emergency

arises. The farmer and stockman Who have suf-
fered will demand that legislation be passed to

protect them in future crises, and it legislation»
along sound lines is not given them, unsound ‘

schemes of all kinds will be advocated. Bank-

ers. and financiers generany should devote cere— 

ful study "to the problem of adjusting our laws
and institutions to the needs or an industry so

tundamentel to the welfare of the whole coun- ‘7‘"  ._

Make 2an Pay

F the government does not force the war '

grafters to some acrossvvith (same of “their,
illagotten gains itlwill hes  day for the
Republican administration.‘ Suficient 

area have been made, thanks to the investiém.. many
tions and courage of Congressman Woodiufiof‘

this state to warrant a congressiOnal inquiry
into a large number of the contracts between
the government and private firms for war ma-
terials It has already‘been shown that a few
corporations, one of them a Michigan ceneem,
has mulcted the government of millions of dol-
lars by the ., padding of accounts, false entries
and other immoral- methods. 'How many hun-
dreds of millions the government has been
robbed of in this manner will never be known.

The knowledge that there were hundreds of _

rich man who waved the flag with one hand
and picked the pocketsof the government with
the other makes the sacrifices of the war 'seem
cheap and farcical. Men who in honest patriot-
ism gave freely of their time to advance the
interests of their country or who fought and
returnéd home crippled for life must‘ feel a
sense of belittlément as they learn of the de-
bauchery which tOOk place while they were at
the post of duty. ‘

No tears are shed for the poor when they
cross the line twixt right and wrong. But let
a rich man come within the reach of the law
and the bounds of compassion are let loose and
every eflort is made to protect him from pun-
ishment. Men in high places have sought to
furnish an excuse for those of wealth and high
social standing who robbed the government
during the war in the, expectation that the
theft would never be discovered. Every ob-
stacle has been laid before those congressmen
who would uncoverthe acts of these defrauders
and at least force them to return what they
have left of their plunder. Just because the
war is over is no reason for granting immunit y
to these offenders. The American people
should insist that the war grafters return
every dollar taken illegally- from the govern-
ment during its time of stress and war.

 

Who Will Pay -For the Roads?
HE U. S. Department of Agriculture

frankly admits that the cost of building ‘

roads is not equitably distributed.
“Development and increase in numbers of
motor vehicles and the coincident need and de-
mand for good roads have come so rapidly,”
says the Department, “that methods of raising
funds have often been expedients for the time

being. Consideratidn has been given not so '

much to the Just distribution of the cost as to
how the funds can be raised with the least
controversy and the utmost ease. ' " "‘ It is be-
lieved that a very considerable readjustment
of the source of revenues must be made so that
a larger percentage will be paid by the road
user‘ and a lesser percentage from State or
local taxes. ’ ’

It is customary for the dancers to pay the
fiddler, but under our present system of road
financing the spectator pays a goodly share
of the bill. It may be he enjoys the sight of
automobiles jazzing down the highway at fifty
miles an hour, but the, entertainment is hardly
worth an annual mortgage on his property.

A permanent road building policy cannot
rest upon a system which often levies heaviest
against the occasionaluser of the highway and-
the least against the frequent user. Make
thexuser of the roads pay for their upkeep in
proportion to the use of makes of them and the
wear he gives them. Then the last valid argu-
ment against good roads will be removed.

Campbell for Reserve Board Member

could possibly cifer the slightest objection,_he

Your inquiry reminds} the Spot-
light editor of a story. Two Negroes
drivlmg nags who looked as if they
might have been fed the same brand
of sawdust, met on the highway
one day. Sam said to Rastus:
“Say, Rastus, I heah you we .vt to

straightened up with dignity and re-

knows what she can do. Ketch me
tradin‘ her 'foh some mule dat_ I

\For a long time the political ma-
chine ot the seventh district has tak-
en the position that the electors of
the district desired a. change in their

. congressional representation, but _

every election proved that the ma.—

chine had been Vmisinfohmed.” A ,

political machine does not like a
legislator which it cannot control.
The machine of the seventh district
has never been able to control Cram-
ton and so it has tried repeatedly,
to out him, but never with any en—
its can-
didatehas met with ignominious de-
test at the polls.

'Ime editor of the Spotlight is not '

can control him if elected. Mr. Mc-

1 My Pressure Cooker

‘This is by far the greatest labor

»  er and generalhelp that I have

‘3 fixed for a good many years, altho

have a vacuum cleaner, dustless'

man‘s. oil stove and many other con-

eniences. ' ,

“My daughter calls it “The Preci-

ous Cooker” and I sometimes think it

 a very appropriate name for it,

as it saves so much time, labor, food

We can cook a whole

 

stove, if we wish, putting the meat
in the bottom of the cooker, then
@lace the little wire rack on that and
feet the cans or pails containing the
‘vegetables, on that to cook. Brown
bread can be steamed, a custard or
:pudding can be cooked at the same
time. '
__ “A little experience or experiment-
ing may be necessary to know what
foods can be cooked to have them
73.11 done at the same time. My cook-
fer is made offaluminum and is in-
tended to be used at 20 pound pres-
sure, some are intended to be used
. at «only 10 or 15 pound pressure and,
of course, they take a little longer
»- to cook aameal or to can the food.
Mine holds ten quarts and is large

enough‘for any ordinary sized fam—A

ily. Foods cook in it so much more
quickly that one who has never used
one can hardly believe it can be pos-
:sible.

“.When I was in Denver four years
ago I saw one for the first time and
realized that it was one of the con-
veniences that I must have, so I went
to the factory and ordered one sent
home for my daughters to use. The
first fowl they cooked in it was so
thoroughly “done” that the meat all
_, dropped oif the bones when they at-
tempted to take it from the cooker,

to spend the afternoon. When it was
’ nearly supper time they‘expressed a
.wish to have something cooked in
the pressure cooker as they had nev-
er seen one before. We suggested
lima beans. One of the ladies gasped
and said, “Will they be done before
midnight?” The beans were the dry
‘limas and we had to fill our oil
stove, parboil the beans and cook
them. In less than an hour we were
seated at the table. We only process
dry lima beans for fifteen minutes.

the temperature in the cooker is 359
degrees Fahrenheit, forty-seven de-
grees hotter than boiling water at the
sea level. It is perfectly safe to use
if directions are followed. It has a
safety valve fitted with a steel auto-
mobile ball which is held in place
by a bar and springs so if the pres-
sure goes higher than twenty-five
pounds, the springs stretch, the ball
rises a little/and a little of the steam

kind several things are to be con-

is its weight. I have a friend who

has one that is so heavy that she

has to have a man lift it for her,
and it requires as much time to
cook articles as the ordinary water
bath, cold pack. I would not like
that kind. _

. Making Starter Without Yeast

‘I saw in your paper that E. H. want-
ed to know how to start Bread Starter
that Is made without yeast cake. I will
tell her how I started my starter and
,it is fine. Take one medium sized boiled
potato. mash fine with two rounding
tablespoonfuls of sugar, then add one
cupful of boiling water, and place in a
one quart can, put the cover on without
a rubber and keep in a real warm place
(as near 80 or 90 degrees as possible)
till little bubbles form on it. It took mine
‘48 hours; then take one medium sized
potato mashed with two spoonfuls of
sugar, add one cup of boiling water and
when Iuke warm add the starter you
have in the can and set in a warm place
till it rises (which should be in a few
hours.) The potato will all raise to the
top then the starter is ready for use. New
keep in a cool. place till ready to use it.
Then make your starter with potatoes
and sugar and water and a little salt
in the usual way and add the starter.
Always save some for a. starter before
adding, the flour. Keep starter in a. cool
place. It is lots of trouble to tart the
starter, but after it is once started it
is fine and is as lively as any yeast
cake and lots better. It may not be quite
as nice bread just at first after the start-
er is made. but keeps getting better. the
more it is used. ‘ v ,

I add one teaspoon of sugar to the
starter I save as I only use mine once
a week and the sugar helps keep it when
it is kept so long without using. Perhaps
you would like to know how I kept my
starter warm while it was- starting the
first time. I wrapped the can in a. towel
and placed it in a small pail and kept it
on the warming oven while using my
range and at other times, and at "night
set the pail with can in it on the’ hot
water reservoir and covered the pail
with a thickly folded tablecloth. and it
kept real warm all night. It all depends
on keeping the starter warm till the hub-
bles begin to form. If it is not kept real
w‘hrm it may take longer than 48 hours.
Of course after .the, starter is ready for
use it doesn't need only a moderately
warm warm place to raise. Too much

_ OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

 

His Promise _
It was a glorious morning in June.
The stars, like little children had gone to
rest The blue sky had turned to a

more softy gray. Faint streaks of purple .

flashed across the eastern sky; the whole
world was filled with the tides of morn-
ing light, which came pouring down from
above in one great ocean of radiance, till
at length a flash of purple fire blazed
out and turned the'dewdrrps on flowers
and leaves into rubies and diamonds. In
a few seconds the gates of morning were
opened and the lord of day. arrayed in
bright glories. began his course just as
the lamp in'tho window of the little house
nestled down among the trees flickered
and went out.

Thus was the way of the outside world,
but let us peep inside the house among
the trees. the home of the Lovejoys.

Everything in this house was still
rapped in silence and darkness broken
only by the sobbing of a small boy of
about ten years. He was lying on the
lounge in the sitting roOm sobbing as
though his little heart would break. while
above him the hired man Was trying to
sooth his aching brow.

At this early hour the Lovejoy home
was love and joy no longer'b'ut love and
sorrow for above in a small bedroom the
doctors and nurses were fighting. tight-
ing to bring .back the life that was so
near gone from the mother's body to
the little boy who was sobbing for his
mother to come back.

For four davs while the mother had
laid between life and death, the poor
little bov had been realizing how much
he loved his mother, and how much he
needed her in order to grow up and to
live a good and pure life, and to be a
man his mother would be proud of and
who would beloved bv his fellowmen.

How often had he disobeyed his moth-
er? Many and .man times he had left
the wood box unfliled.‘ the water pail
empty. his coat and hat lying 0;; the
floor and many other things which gave
her more work to do, but she had always
been cheerful and he missed her smiles
and merry songs.

“0! Mother, mother !” he sobbed.
“Come back to me. and I'll never die-
obev you again." '

For hours his tired hopeless, voice went
on. “ Mother. mother,” until finally his
cries reached his mother upstairs and she
slowly came back to her boy and life.’

Half an hour later the nurse came to
tell the boy that his mother would live.
Love and sorrow was thrown. out and
love and joy reigned again.

It was many. many weeks before the
mother could leave the house. but the
wood box always remained'fllled with the
best wood and the water pail was al-
ways full to the brim of the sweetest
and coolest water: his coat and hat were
always on the nail, except when he had
them on.’ He tended her garden and
brought her the choicest fruit and the
prettiest flowers. He also gave her one
of his little rabbits to love and pet as
her own. ’

» The day she was first outdoors. he
and the hired man. himself an orphan
. and who had found in .this boy’s mother
a woman who took the place of his own
mother. brought her a basket of ripe.
juicy peaches for which they had walked'
five miles 'in the boiling hot sun to-get.
"My son," saTd the mother as she kissed
' him good-night that evening. "you are
,a son to be proud of and I thank God
that he has blessed me with such an,
unselfish and obedient son.” _ -

A Summer» Dey~ .

It was a summer day and the sun shone
bright. A mother had two boys, one was
16 years and the other ,13 years old. The
"‘mother told the boys to go to the garden
to st some early potatoes for supper.

e boys went to the barn to get a
hoe to dig the potatoes, and their mother
gave them a pan to put the potatoes in.
Not long after they reached the garden
gate they opened the gate and went in;
one dug the potatoes and one picked
them up and put them in the pan. They
just had'dugfour hills and the pan was
filledisome rolled, off on the sides.

When ‘they went home one took the
hoe and the other one the potatoes. When
their mother saw them come she went
to meet them and with surprise she saw

Grandmother’s Birthday Surprise

Two boys, Robert and Bennie, sat upon
the old orchard fence talking earnestly
together.

These boys were spending the sumJner
at grandfather’s. Only that morning had
grandfather told them that day after to-
morrow was grandmother’s birthday. Of
course they wished to give her a birth-
day surprise, but how? This was the ques-
tion they Were so earnestly talking about.

“0 dear, I'm afraid we can’t give
grandmother a birthday sun prise after
all.” said little Robert.

“0 yes. we. will," said Bennie.
"Let’s go talk it over with grand-
father again. Perhaps he'll have

some idea to offer us. He always does.”

And off they ran to talk it over with
grandfather. But they were unable to get
any ideas from him. although they were
sure he had some. All he had said was,
“well. boys, suppose you try just being
good." ‘

Of course, the boys decided, that
wouldn’t surprise her. Hadn't they been
real good since they had been with
grandmother? Not once had the stolen
jam from the ja’rs in the cellar, nor
chased the chickens or pulled pussy’s
tail, and a number of other naughty.
things. All they could do was to wait.
and wait they did although 'it did seem
rather hard.

The. next day passed and the morning
of grandmother’s birthday came. When
grandfather told them that morning, the
boys could scarcely refrain from telling
grandmother, but that would never do.

At half-past ten o'clock. grandfather
and the two boys started for the potato
patch. Bennie had a hoe and Robert had
a pan. Grandfather found it rather. diffi-
cult to keep up with the happy, joyous
gays who were skipping about by his

e. .
What do you think they were going to
do? Get potato blossoms? Why grand-
mother didn’t like them! But’no. See!
Grandfather has pulled up a hill of po-
tatoes, Bennie ‘is digging, and Robert is
picking up some objects which lay. upon"
the ground; objects about as big as my
fist and a -li ht hr in color. New
tatoes! Wha a surpr so they would be to
grandmother! \‘ g 7

At last the pan was full and the two
boys started for—the, house. Grandmother
‘was busy in the kitchen, and looked
around as they came 'in.- What was her
surprise to see Bennie ,with a hoe‘ and
Robert ,_with a pan ofxnew potatoes.

"Happy birthday, grandmother," cried
both at once. , .. , -

"Yes. we must help grandma and
grandpa because they are not young
people any more," said Allen.

The boys were at school now so they
quit planning. They were only going to
have a half day of school.

Frank and Allen ran all the way home
to tell their father and mother that they
had passed; Frank would he in the eighth
grade and Allen in the fifth.

The rest of the week went vorx' test
to the boys. soon Saturday came. In the
afternoon Mr. and lVTrs. Washlmrn took
Frank and Allen out in the. auto to their
grandparents who lived five miles from
Mt. Clemens.

They were greeted with a wealth of
lovo such as only grandparents have.

They attended church each Sunday.
They gathered the eggs, fed the chickens.
got in the wood each night, got vege—
tables from the garden, as we see them
in the picture with the potatoes. They
did this for their grandma.

They got the cows each night, fr‘d
the calves and pigs for their grandpa.

They went fishing and played base ball
with the other boys of the community.
The boys and girls of the neighborhood
went to a picnic and inv1ted Frank and
Allen. They had a fine time.

When they went home they thought
that they had spent a. most hapnv va—
cation—Barbara Hall, Pontiac, Mich.

Grandma’s Surprise

Once upon a time there was a little
boy and he had a little garden of his
own. He took very good care of his
garden. One day in .the summer his
grandma came to see him. She had only
an hour’s visit, when the little boy came
into the house, and got a pail and went
out of the house again. He went out
to the garden and got it full of pota-
toes. When he got to the house he
stopped at the door. and called his grand-
ma. Hls grandma was so surprised that
she ask,how he grew them. And he said.
“I grew those potatoes by taking good
care of them, when there was no rain
I ‘took the sprinkling can and watered
them.”

“Oh,” said his grandma. “you must
have taken good care of them.” .

"Well. I did," was' the reply, “ and I
am glad, too."

His mother cooked them for supper and
Oh, they were so good. And every day
they had fresh potatoes to eat. At last
they got ripe and they were harder to
peal. The 26 of December grandma went
home and the little boy gave her a
bushel of 1‘s potatoes which grandma
liked to eat—Wm. C. Wismer. R. 6, Bad
Axe, Mich.

Johnnie’s Potato Crop

Johnnie was a little boy 10 years old.
He was the only child in the family so
he had lots of things. His mothers name
was Mary Ann and his father’s was
Hiram. They lived on a farm of 80 acres.

Johnnie had often heard of the clubs
that were being organized in the differ-
ent counties. He asked his teacher if
they couldn’t have some sort of a club,
3:; she said “it would take up too much

e. '

One day the last part of May one of
Johnnie’s friends asked him to come to
their last day of school. Johnnie heard
,many interesting talks. But the one that
interested him most twas the talk given
by Mr. R. A. Turner on Club Work.

. That night when Johnnie went home
he asked his father if he would let him
have a half acre of good ground. His
father asked him what he wanted it for
and he told him he wanted to raise some
. potatoes.

His father gave his consent and about
the middle part of June Johnnie was
real proud of his field of potatoes.

One night he heard his mother say,
“Hiram. I wish you could find me some
new potatoes for dinner tomorrow."
  the morning' after Johnnie ale his
:breakfast he told his fathergto. bring the

New Process '
1 Minute’s Bo
Never Fails
By Ann Proctor

 

 

The greatest cooking authorities in t
country—Good Housekeeping, Ins ‘
Boston Cooking School, Modern 
Proving Plant. government enemy.
mestic science teachers, etc—and‘h’ 
wives everywhere are hailing with do!
the New Certo Process of makin
kinds of jam and jelly. Anyone, even”,
child, can now make jam or jelly of ex ‘
lent quality, with any kind of fruit'in”
few minutes. Only one minute’s boiling
is required, and the result is one-M ,_
more product from same amount of fruit. 3

Certo (Surejell) is a pure fruit prodg-c "‘
uct, contains no gelatine or preservative.
It is concentrated pectin, supplied
Mother Nature in some fruits, now betr-
tled for household use. With it, jam and.
jelly making is a fascinating pastime—g-
no guesswork or worry. Cooking authori-l
ties call it "the short-boiling process” 
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-halt
more product from the same amount 
fruit because no juice is boiled away. '

With Certo you can make jam or is
from any fruit. Peach, pear, or rhube
jam, blackberry, elderberry or cherry
jelly, orange marmalade, etc., are easily
and quickly made and keep perfectly; '
Certo "jells" any fruit juice. It simply
supplies the necessary pectin to 'jell” 
the fruit juice. ‘ ..

Certo is what you have been looking
for. Be the first to use it in your neighq
borhood so you can tell your friends about
it, and show them the excellent results
you had. You can get Certo from most
grocers or druggists, or we will send it
to you by parcel post prepaid, with Book
of nearly 100 Recipes for 35 cents. B
sure to include your grocer’s name and
address. Then we will see that he car-4
ries Certo for the convenience of yourself-
and friends. Try one bottle of Certo—in-
vestigate the new. the highly endorsed
Certo process of making jam and jelly—1
and save hours of time and worry and.
frequent failures of the old method.

GRAIN  FLEECE FARM-
ERS 0F $28,000,000.00

Federal Trade Commission .
has just reported its findings on
speculative grain marketing,

pursuant to a congressional resolu—

tion passed last December through‘

the efforts of Senator Ladd of North
Dakota. The Trade Commission ex-
amined the books of all the big grain
dealers, with the exception of sev-

~eral Baltimore exporters who refused.
it access. to their records. These in— '

vestigationsrevoaied that, the white-

handed gentlemen who "market the

farmers “grain” made an average
net profit of 58-" per cent on their
capital stock, surplus and reserves
for 1929, and 'of 30 per centin 1921.
The commission reports “the average

profit of wisest exporters in 19207
was nearly Sc a. bushel." wuss the ‘

.1921 average was lower, yet some at
the concerns “turned their 

'over more thanone hundred. times -

‘ A COMCTION
Mr. J'. H. Frandsen who had in last
week’s issue an article on the Holstein
convention calls our attention to an error-
in bloom. The last five lines under the
sub-heading "Purebred Sire Exhibit"
should have read as follows:

The disease has been spreading

cooperate with the state authorities

in their eiforts to get rid ot the di- .

‘ KEEPING‘ BIRDS OUT OF
. ' CHERRY TREE
NEW way to keep the robins
away from the cherries is to
4 hang a yard or two of rubber
hose in the middle of the tree- It
is amusing to watch the little
thieves come full tilt at the redden-
ing branches then suddenly flap
their wings and scamper away. Evie
dently the hose was mistaken for
a snake and certainly it did resem-
ble one. . ' »

Perhaps if the hose was left in the
tree long enough the birds would
see through the joke and get on fa-
miliar terms with the serpent, but
it serves the purpose well for a time.
The birds are needed to keep the
trees clean of insects, but it is hard-
ly fair for them to take the whole
crop as pay. We are willing to com-
promise on that basis, giving them
the insects if they will leave’ us the
fruit—G. M.‘ B., Macomb County.

MIDSUMMER IN THE ORCHARD
0M the first till the middle of
July the orchard is cultivated

_ for the last time. Further stirr-

ing or the ground will induce e. late
growth which may not have time
to ripen baton cold weather. Here

.is the cause of much of the winter

.. injury to trees. The growing season

has been continued too long, the re-

sult being tender, unripe wood,~ eas-
ily killed by e severe-winter. —
By the middle of the month the

cover crop is sown and harrowed in.’

For this purpose cats are excellent,

as they make a quick, strong growth,
besides the winter ' kills them, so~

they will not be in the way next
spring. Rye is good, but it. lives

through. the winter , and makes a”

weed hard to get rid of another
year. Buckwheat has proved satis-
.factory on heavy land, as it loosens
the soil and leaves it in good con-
dition. "Even weeds are better than
»nothing. Sometimes they make a
fair cover'for' the soil...though hardly
to the credit of the owner.

1 During July. the San Jose scab
breeds rapidly, [but this post. once
so muchpfe'erednby fruit growers, is
giving comparatively *llttle trouble.

ing, what one female moth may be

‘-iasects_are,'for the most part, easily
_dlsposed of by a spray of emanate

Not much thinning of fruit is need-
ed this year. eacept in case of plums.
Nature has done the thinning among
the apples; teaches and pests, and
has done it well. What oilect this
will have on next year’s crop re-
tinitis to be seen, but on all fairness
i should presuppose an abundance
«of blossom bids for another spring.

Little pruning is to be done after
midsummer. Injured limbs, dead

wood and water sprouts may be 1%- .

moved at any time, but the bulk of
the pruning is done while the tree

has the season of growth before it. ‘

seem RASPBERRY ENEMEES
URING the, summer the tips of
the young raspberry canes may

, wilt and bend over. An exami-
nation wiIll disclose that these tips
have been girdled by two rings of
punctures about half an inch apart
and five or six inches below the top.
This is the work of a slender beetle
‘about three-fourths of an inch long,
the yellow-necked cane-borer, so
named from the color of the thorox.

Between the two girdling rings
there will be seen a puncture where
an egg is laid, which hatches into a
grubthat bores down the cane til'lit
crimes to the base, where it passes
the winter. In the summer it emerges
as. a beetle.

TThe insect may cause serious in—
jury to raspberry canes if left un-
checked, yet it is easily controlled.
The wilted tips should be warning
“enough. Snap them oil at the lower
girdle, so removing the little grub
or, the egg. If this is done promptly
no damage will be done. Occasionally

the season’s growth on old canes ~

will be punctured, also stems to
leaves, but that is unimportant.
The-adult of the raspberry cane-
maggot is a two winged ny which
lays its eggs near the tips of canes,
causing them- to wilt, but in this
case there are no punctures, so the
grub may get a good start down a
stalk before anything wrong is no-

ticed. It remains in the cane during

the winter as a pupa, emerging in
the spring.

Wilted canes should be cut out as
soon as discovered. If this is given
proper attention there should be no
difficulty in~ keeping the insect in
check. —

The red-necked agrilus is.a beetle,
about one-third of an inch long,
which lays its eggs on raspberry and
blackberry canes. The grubs which
follow bore into the canes, causing
an enlargement of the bark. They
pupate in the canes and emerge the
following spring or early summer.

Cutting out the canes below the
galls is the remedy. It is not often
e. serious menace to the raspberry.

Vigorous canes may suddenly wilt,
or they may be broken easily at the
base, when an examination will show
the presence of the root-borer. This
is the larva of a clear-winged moth
which has considerable "resemblance
to a wasp. ,

The eggs are laid. on the leaves
in late summer, whence the grub
bores into the puh of the stalk and
downward to the root. where the cane
is often girdled. The ’winter is passed
here and in spring the borer may
continue in the root or - ascend
another stalk. ‘ It; 'pupates in the

Filling and  I
the Hole

FTER the hole has been made under the chimp and

the charge properly primed and loaded, the next step

is filling and tamping the hole. The purpose of dish to

seal the hole tightly so that the gases from the explosion

will not escape, but will exert all their pressure against the

stump. The success of the shot dcpendsyery largely on
careful and thorough tamping.

Moist ‘clay, free from gravel and stones, fine sand or
moist loam makes excellent tamping material.

First, fill up four or five inches of the hole with this
substance, and temp it down gently with a rake handle .
with end sawed ofl'equarc, or similar tamping stick. Then
continue to fill the hole, tamping more firmly, until the
top is reached, and the passage securely scaled.

Stump blasting has become a cheaper operation since
the development of Du Pont Dumorite. This new explo-
sive has the heaving action of 20% dynamite and the
strength of “40%,” stick for stick. And you get 135 to 140
sticks of Dumoritc at the same price as 100 sticks of 40%
dynamitc——% more per dollar.

Buy Dumoritc at your local dealer’s and write us for free

full instructions as to the use of explosives for land clear-
ing, ditching and tree planting.

cost .of the v-cows is tho‘expensive
part. After? he has a few roars ex-
perienbe he changes his mind. It is
the feed bill,- in season, and out, your
after year, that totals up the big
expense. - .

' Our Eirperiment Stations have con-
ducted many tests ‘tO determine- the
value of silage in the ration. These
have been published in bulletin form
during the past twenty-five years,
and tho the figures vary to quite an
extent, theyall show the. economic
value of silage. The Ohio Station
scventylfive cents on the cost of one
silage saved the dairy farmer ten
cents a pound on the cost of pro-
ducing a pound Of butter, andtorty
cents on the cost of producingsone
hundred pounds of’ milk. Several
other Experiment Stations ~_ have
shown figures that range from six
®,fifteen cents saving on the cost

.of butter and from twenty—five to

seventy-five centson the cost 0 if one
hundred. pounds of milk. Many of
the early cow t‘esting associations
demonstrated that the silo was one
of the most important factors in
lowering the cost of milk. All of
these experiments and tests, how-
ever, is only a small part of the
proof of the economy of the silo.
The most
fact that one-half million silos are
now being used by our most progres-
sive farmers. '

Silage is a succulent grass-like
feed. It is cooling in effect, aids di-
gestion, stimulates appetite and is
an excellent balance for high pro-
tein concentrates. A dairy cow re-
quires such a food beCause “She is
doing hard. work when producing a
good flow of milk. The cow by na-
ture is a user Of roughage, and when
fed in an artificial way on grains
of high nutritive value there is need
for a cooling grass—like feed, and
silage comes in to fill this valuable
place. Silage has a high water con-
tent, but water is an important item
Of the ration. Milk is 87 per cent
water and beef over 50 per cent.

Many dairymen who complain
over the high cost of producing milk
could quickly correct this trouble
by feeding more silage. This feed
not only lowers the. cost of produc-
ing the stock and stock products
but it also serves as in insurance
for many crops. There are few for—
ages, grains or grasses grown on the
farm that cannot be made into sil-
age. Plants producing large ton-
nage can be turned into a food sup—
ply for the cows and growing stock,
and silage has the advantage of al-
ways being in a succulent and edible
form.

In times of drought during the
dog days when the grass turns white
and vegetation is hard and woody,
a liberal ration of silage will stimu-
late large production and' will keep
the cows. in a good condition for fall
and winter producers. ,Those who
have had the most experience will
tell you that the silo should be used
for summer as well as winter, espe-
cially by the dairy farmer. A crop
safely stored in a silo is a sure and
dependable asset to the stock-keeper.
As for the dairyman,.every test has
proven that silage is a most import-
ant item in economic milk produc-
tion—A. J. Haecker.

I thought first that it was caused from

being on, cement floor ,but two of the-

sows have ne'Ver been on cement. one
of them has been lame for six months.
she seems a little stiff all over. They
all eat good and are in good flesh. They
do not seem to get any worse nor any

on good pasture they would come - all
right but another one has gone lame.
,They are all my brood sows. Two of them
have not had pigs yet and the other two
have. If there is something I could do
for them I' would be more than pleased
to learn about iL—-C. W. R... Lapeer,
Mich. ‘, ' ' «.

Your 'sows are probably sut-
fering from muscular rheumatism.
The pri'ncipalrsymptom consists Of
expression of pain, especially evid-
ent when the animal moves. Loco-
mOtion is interfered with, and there
is a shifting lameness. If the dis-
ease is sufliciently extensive the af-
fected animals refuse to eat. The
treatment is to. provide good quart-
ers where the animal will not ex-
perience wide variations of‘tempera-
ture within a short time—499d a.
laxative’diet and give twenty grains
Of salicylate of sodium three times
daily.

CURING BOTTS ’

Could one cure botts on a horse by
moving your hand from his head to his
tail several times?—Subscriber, North-
ville, Mich.

No, one could not.

 

IIIP SWOLLEN

We have a cow that lost her call! at
seven months and we milked her for
about two months and then quit. Now
her hip 'is swelled. She doesn’t appear
lame. What would you advise me .to do
with her?——C. M., Harrisville. Mich. I

The swollen hip must have been
caused by some injury; if this swell-
ing is hot and painful I would ad-
vise you use hot applications. If
there is no heat I would recommend
a. liniment composed of equal parts
of Aqua_ Ammonia, turpentine and
oil to be applied morning and night
rubbing well in. » '

 

CALVES COVERED WITH LIOE

We have lost two calves and No. 3 in
sick. These calves are fed clover hay and
corn fodder, sorghum, oat straw, whole
oats, skim milk once a day and carrots or
cabbage. They are covered small
lice. We put on three parts lard and 1
of kerosene. on account of it being too
cold.to dip them. They are~awful poor.
While they seem to have a good appe-
tite until 3 or 4 days before they die.
they they seem to have difliculty in swal-
lowing. Bowels are in good condition all
the time ,up to the last. _

Have a cow much the same. Poor as a.
crow and poor ’ appetite; dainty, won't
eat only some things. Came in and did
not clean. Had the veterinary. She gave
about two quarts of milk the first three
months, then went dry altogether. Looks
rough. Have carrots .once a day but no
silage. but a variety of rough teed.—
Mrs. J. A., Gaylord, Mich.

No animal will do \well covered
with lice. Apply Kreso Dip, Parke
Davis & 00., according to' directions
by sponging them over. It is not
necessary to dip them to get rid of
the lice. Feed plenty corn and oats
\ground together and add a little
bran. Give them a good brushing at
least Once a day and see they get
proper care. If six months Old give

HE agricultural newspapers have

made more discontented and list—
less farmers than all other demorali-
zing influences combined. As soon
as a farmer is convinced that the
farm Which has been giving him a
living and a little more to save, if he
would save it, is a loser, he loses
morale and becomes shififless or a‘
complete idler. With few exceptions
the agricultural press have told their.
readers just that thing—ethat the
farm is not a money maker; and did
farmers generally believe it, their

' moral strength would disappear, be-

cause no one can respect himself or
an occupation which he believes is
no good and has no future which is
not based on government largess in
some form. It is the “circus and
bread" of Rome in a new form. All
such farmers cease to look to them-
selves to make their land holdings a
going concern, but waste their time»
and lose their grip waiting for the
A. F. B; Fraud the economic fakirs
"and quacks like Ladd and Copper
and the rest to lift them cut of the
morass they imagine surrounds them
by some hocus pocus of law—making;
and-since lay making cannot create
wealth the dupes must finally de-
generate into veritable mendicants.

There can hardly. be a lower depth
of Governmental immortality than
this, and the quack editors and
statesmen who deceive people by such
premises will have much to answer
for in the day of accounting when
the results of their folly will surely
came to light.~ Nothing is more
certain than that the more that is
done to relieve imaginary distress of
this sort in this artificial way the
more distress will be created by the
process. It partakes of the evils of
the poor laws and all eleemosynary
expenditures. Every law and insti-
tution which protects some persons
at the expense of others. or of cap-
ital, makes it easier for those some
to live idle and so increases the num—
ber of those whose incentive to pro-
duce and to practice frugality is
impaired or destroyed. Such laws
may visibly relieve a deserving few
at times but they involve unfortun—
ately more undeserving ones and the
relief will be at the cost of a larger
populationsunk in hopeless misery.
Economic forces go before the moral
ones, and unless economic interest is
fostered and protected in every way,
by hardships due to improvidence

or by profits to be earned, the moral ‘

instinct will die. Self-interest alone
produces self-control, prudence“ and

The average profit per hundred

,flt they are getting from their poul-
try. \ \7
You '-can raise- poultry more pro-

fitablyithan the commercial poultry-"

man can.
Small Investment—Your invest-
ment is small. The commercial

poultryman must provide expensive
housing and- yarding. arrangements.
You can let your chickens run any-
where—just so you keep them out
of the garden during the spring and
summer.

Little Labor—Your cost of labor
is small;'labor is a. big item with
the commercial poultryman. You
can. take careg’of a flock of chickens,
and take good care of it, without
spending a great deal of time. The
work fits in to .the rest of the farm
work.

Cheap Feed—Your feed is cheap.
The commercial pbultryman buys
feed. You raise it, and thus get
it at actual cost of production.

Waste Products are Utilized—
Your chickens utilize the waste pro-
ducts on the farm. During a great
part of the year, the hens live al-
most entirely on "what would other-
wise be wasted—grass, clover, the
gleanings from the grain fields, the
surplus garden stuff, and the litter
about the barr. and feeding pens.

Weeds and InSects are Destroyed
——Then, in addition, they eat weed
seeds and injurious insects,
and worms.~ It is almost impos-
sible to estimate the help given by
the hens in keeping down some' of
the worst pests. r '

Record of Eighteen Ohio Farm
Flocks—Several years ago the Ohio
Experiment Station made a study of
theprofits in farm poultry. Records
of 18 typical farm flocks were care-
fully kept. '\

These flocks ranged in
from 36 to 370.
bred; others were mongrels.‘ They
were kept, fed and tended just as
the farmers had been caring for
them before the Experiment Station
asked them to keep a record. '

I—Iere are 'the results of the inves-
tigation. For the sake of compari-
son we have figured the profit from
each flock on the basis 0'! 100 hens

number

. in a flock.

The best five flocks yielded respec-
tively $247, $154, $153, $107 and
$104 per hundred hens, while the
poorest five flocks yielded $67, $66,
$63, $62 and $15 respectively. In no
case was there a loss. The average
profit per hundred hens or the 18
flocks was $87.

Poultry Profits—One hundred
hens are worth a hundred dollars-—
just about the price of a good dairy
'cow. Records of the Cow Testing
Associations in Iowa show that the
average dairy cow m es a profit
of $33. Which would '
—miulk two or three cows, or take
care of a hundred hens?

Yet if asked what profit you get -

from your poultry. I doubt it one
of'you would know—you don’t keep
track of a little thing like that. Most
farmers have a vague idea that poul-
try is profitable—the wire pays the
grocery bills, and every now and
then gets a new piece of furniture
or a new dress with the “chicken
money. 1'  ,

STORY OF 4N. Y. DAIRYMEN‘S
FAMOUS POOLIlVG PLAN .
(Continued from page 4)
but where the latter system is not in
use, the increased compensation is

fixed at a fiat 200 per hundred.
These prices are also subject to
the freight diflerential, based on dis-
tance, the figure varying in the sev-
‘eral specified classes. The dealer of
course pays a lower rate for milk
which he has to ship at a distance
from the New York market—the
dividing line passes through approxi—
mately the 201-210 mile point—than
he does for milk bought nearer New
'York City. .
Obviously, the prices paid in
Classes 3 and 4 cannot be udeter—
minedgtill the last day of the month
of delivery. However, according to
the agreement, the dealers are re-
quired to send to the offices of the
association, by the 15th -of each
month, full reports covering milk
received from members of the asso-
ciation during the preceding month,
amounts due, etc., and likewise make
settlement with the association note
‘ later than the date mentioned. Then,
between the 15th and the 25th of
the month, the accounting depart-
ment has on its hands the nice little
job of sending out something like
50,000 or more checks (the number
varies from month to month) for
the sums due members for their pre-
vious month's deliveries. The ac-
complishment of this gigantic task
within ten days-is made possible by
the very efficient way in which the
work is organized and the fact that
the most modern and most approved
mechanicaldevices are
these including calculating, tabulat-
ing and check—writing machines, fil-
ing systems, etc, all operated by a
specially-trained staff. ’ -' ~
Contract With.,Members
Every producing dairyman whee
goes into the pooling plan signs a
contract, whereby he agrees to sell
his milk to the dealers designated
by the association and authorizes
the association to act as his agent

employed, .

 
  
 
 
  
   

 
  

a is created...8;nd maintained by

‘which?, the,ass0.ciation is enabled to

buiid,__~eQuip-‘ and operate . its plants
and carry’on. other productive ac-
tivities-_ All resulting profits go into
the‘ pool and are eventually distribut-
ed among~ the members. The amounts
deduc‘ted’ vary. from month to month,
dependingT upon the financial re-
quirements of-th'e association as well
as other circumstances, but in the
past they have ranged from 30 'to
5 1-2c per 100‘ibs. fer the’ direct
charge. indjrom 100 to 20c for the
deduction-for certifibates, the aver-
age for the fiscal year ending March
31, 1922,, being 5c for the former
and 16, 8-10c for the‘latter, per 100
pounds. ’ '
The varibus sums collected from
the dealers, instead of being de-
posited in one bank at U-tica, N. Y.,-

the headquarters of the association,

are deposited in the local banks——
about 350 in elk—scattered through,-
out the" territory in which members
are located. This practice helps to
create good will for the association
among the large. number of local
banks in these communities, besides
having other advantages. '

‘ At the annual meeting of the As-
sociation, held‘ at Utica,'N. Y., on
June 15th, some interesting facts
were brought out concerning the re—
‘sults of the pooling plan. During the
fiscal year the total quantity of milk
handled ‘at both the dealers" plants
and those of the assoriation was
565,476,805 pounds. The average
price received at the 201-210 1111.8
freight zone, for all Grade B milk
testing 3 per cent butter fat was
$2.01 per 100 pounds. Because of
the relatively high average price
which the association was able to.
obtain, the producers in the pool
received $5,800,000 more than they
would have been paid had they re—
ceived the average price which was
paid for milk during the same period
in all the other organized territories.
From May 2, 1921 to June 1, 1922,
the membership increased from 65,-
050 to 71,192. Delegates from 944‘
locals attended the meeting. The
progress indicated is especially pen-
cour'aging because of the depressed
conditions in the dairy industry dur-
ing the past year. I .The report of
the treasurer showed that the or-
ganization is in sound financial con—
dition. President George W. Slocum
in his address brought out the value
of co-operation by stating that prior
to 1916, before the old Dairymen’s
League became effective as a mar-
keting agency, the average price fer
milk was $1.25 per 100 pounds, the
average figure for June milk being
87 cents; in“ fact' it was not many
years ago that some dairy farmers
received only one cent a quart dur—
ing the flush period.

Wait of a rail strike ap~ -

- ed last week like sterm

 on an otherwise serene

ne‘éls horizon, and commercial
‘ircles,_began to trim their sails for
g L ‘ Irrespective of the
Justice“ of the railroad men’s de-
mands one cannot help but feel that
:the threat of a strike coming as it
does when business is just getting
on its feet again, is most illtimed.

 Certainly, the great American pub- H

lic'does not take kindly to the idea
just at this time.

Except for a slight uncertainty in
construction activities talk of strike
,has really disturbed the equilibrium
of business but slightly. The coun—
try has experienced a remarkable
recovery from the case of doldrums

‘ which it has been suffering for well
,over a year, and refuses to let its
buoyant spirit be dampened by the
prospect. However,- it cannot- be de-
nied that a nation-wide rail strike
of even short duration would prove
a staggering bflow to the country in
its present convalescent state. A year
from now we might 'be able to weath-
er such a strike without serious in-
convenience and loss, but we can’t
do it now.

The coal strike is seemingly no
nearer a settlement now than at any
time since its inception and the aver-
age person is beginning to feel
slightly uneasy as the warm days of
summer come and go and fall be—
gins to beckon.
got any punch left in his old mitt
he ought to begin to use it in the
coall strike and force miners and
operators to accept an equitable set-
tlement.

Excepting for these two disturb-
ing factors the business sky is bright
and clear. 01d industries are grad-
ually putting on new men and new
manufacturing entei prises are
springing up. In nearly all lines re-
striction has given way to expansion.
The army of unemployed has dwin-
dled to a mere handful and here in
Michigan farmers are again com—
plaining for lack of help. With new
crops soon to be harvested putting
a good many farmers back into the
buying mood the immediate future
looks bright.

The markets on farm crops are
holding up well for a Dre-harvesting
period. Wheat has shown a ten-
dency to sag, but upon the very
threshold of threshing in the west-
ern states it actually advances. Black
rust and other wheat enemies are
doing their work and in face of the
fact that we are at the bottom of the
grain bin, the slightest damage to
the new crop lends strength to the
market

Manufacturers of automobiles
have experienced a wonderful season
so far and they are anxiously in—
quiring of agricultural agencies as
to the farmers' prospects this fall.
Will the farmer who has virtually
been out of the market for a year
or more come back this fall? The
city trade is going to drop off soon
and industry must depend upon farm
purchases this fall and winter to
keep its factories going. There can
be no question but what the farmers
will spend a great deal more money
the next six months than they did
for the same period in 1921. They
are in need of many things for both
home and farm, and if prices on their
products do not crash again they will
become heavy purchasers as the sea-
son advances.

WHEAT

July 3—During the first week of
7 the past fortnight prices in the wheat
' market showed an advance. The
market started out weak but the
tone soon changed and prices ad-
anced; however, the high points were
not maintained. On Monday, June

 

26. the market opened with a slump
, but' after that most efforts of the
nimarket were to right itself again.
The tone ruled firm to strong un-

  

til the close, .when weakness. again
asserted itself. Strength came from
a belief that prices were low enough

to " satisfy the bearish conditions. 3 "L 87811.31 are slow to take affect in the

fear that black rust is about to devel-
op in the spring wheat fields, fear of
a transportation blockade and a very
general belief‘that Europe is in im-
mediate need of some wheat. The
fear of a strike has already made it-
self felt in an increase in activity in
the movement of cash wheat. Millers
reported an increase in activity in
the movement of cash wheat: Mill-
ers reported an increase in the buy-
ing of flour late in the week that
might have been in preparation for
the holiday or a stocking up in fear
of the strike.

The crop situation came in for
very close study and there is a good
deal of anxiety over the situation of
the spring crop. Black rust is re-
ported and that always causes
trouble. The crop in other respects
is coming along very well and will
be ample in case of the black rust
scare does not amount to anything.
Winter wheat is safe or nearly so
and is a good crop. "Demand for
cash wheat increased a little during
the week for both domestic use and
export and cash 'handlers ‘believe
Europe is in shape to do some ac-
tive buying.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET

Steers _of better quallity and flu-
ish sold on active higher markets
last week. Some of them showed
a 25c to 40c improvement and some
sold just under the'top how -'more
gain. Steers above $8.50 were gen-
erafly higher, while below that price
some sales looked 25c lower and it‘
was hard to get rid of low grades.

Receipts last week were 16,000
larger than came in the correspond-
ing week last year. The daily runs
included a good many long-fed loads
of mature steers, including compara-
tively large numbers selling from
$9.75 to $10.00 and often' many
loads at the latter price.

Eastern beef markets" held firm 
and showed a little strength last" '

week. Eastern order buyers were

corresponding top prices range from

Lack of local demand on several

lower levels, with the week’s gen—-

with previous week. Last week’s

ago and $1.02 lower than the 11-
year average. While ton hogs equal
the highest level in several months,

stand 26,9'23 smaller than receipts

Sheep values showed little or‘no

to follow the full strength of the

CANDLE EGGS TO MAKE SURE
THEY ARE FRESH

. Do you know how to tell the
quality of an egg without breaking
the shell?- All you need is a paste-
board box with a hole 1 1-4 inches
in diameter, a strong light suchas
is furnished by a lamp or an elec-
tric—light bulb, ,a darkroom, and the
egg. When the egg is“ held clOse
against the hole the strong light
renders its contents visible and its
quality is indicated by the appear-

ance of the yolk, the white and the-

air space at the blunt end. By com-
paring the egg with charts ,furnished
by the United States Department of
Agriculture in Department Bulletin
51, it is possible to learn” the exact
condition got an 'egg before it is

broken. This bulletin may be ob-'
