MICHEL GRAPE GROW LAUNCH
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
HE Southern Michigan Fruit As-
sociation, the St. Joseph Mich-
igan Fruit Association..the Paw
Paw Co-operative Association, and
several other of the grape associa-w
tions in the State of Michigan, who
for a number of years have been
continuously employing the North
American Fruit Exchange as their
national sales organization. have re-
cently agreed upon an advertising
campaign in newspapers. billboards,
trade papers, dealer helps, and the
other instrume talities which usual-
ly prove effect ve in campaigns of
this or.

The Michigan grape growers are
very enthusiastic about this cam-
.pain, which will begin, to appear be-
fore the eyes of the public along
about the first of September and will
run through the grape season. '

They have contracted among them-
selves, and with the North American
Fruit Exchange to make a per ton
assessment on all the grapes sold,
and this will yield an ample fund to
conduct a successful campaign as
outlined.

The announcement pf this adver-
tising campaign to the individual
growers has 'been received by them
with unanimous approval and has
had the effect of stimulating them
to improve their already good pack-

 

. ing and grading, which-they recoge

nits is a fundamental factor of any
advertising campaign.

All baskets, including the 2 qt., 4
and 12 qt. sizes will bear labels, and
these labels will all carry the copy
tighter! trade mark “LEGEND" uh"-

\

 

  

  

der which brand name these grapes .

will be sold. " \

The higher grades will bear large
labels with the imprint “MICHICO
TABLE GRAPES” and grapes of
other qualities will be labeled with
stickers reading ‘fMICHIOO VINE-_
YARD RUN GRATES." - This will
be of great advantage to the trade.

as indicating clearly the quality and -

grade of the grapes in each basket
purchased.

This is the first time in the history
of the grape industry that an adver-
tising campaign has been undertake
on, and the eyes of the. entire in»-
‘dustry will be focused upon it during
the coming season. The trade par-
ticularly will appreciate the value
of having branded grapes certified
as to quality.

_ Corn—There was a slight increase in the aero-
age of corn planted this year, the estimate being
1,737,000 home as compared with 1,703,000 last
year. The\stands are generally“ good except in
some northern counties where cut-worms have
necessitated more or less replanting, A normal
growth has been made in most sectiOns althOugh
many fields are uneven. The condition is re-
ported as 90 per cent, three per cent lower than

. last year but seven per cent above the ten-year

average

Wheat—Cutting commenced in southern coun-
ties during the closing days of June. The con-
dition figure of 85 per cent is one lower than that
of last month, but represents a production of 16, —
154,000 bushels. Red rust is prevalent in many
districts. While the condition of spring Wheat is
good in the Upper Peninsula, the state average
is only 84 per cent or two per cent below the

- ten-year average.

Beans—There has been aIIphenomenal increase
in the acreage of’beans planted. The preliminary

POtutoes—The acreage shows a considerable
increase in southern counties and portions or
the Upper Peninsula, a small increase in the cen-
trail and some of the northwestern counties and a
decrease in portions of the Grand Traverse and
The estimate of 364,000 acres
is an increase of seven per cent over last year.
As planting is only just completed, the condition
is not relatively important at this date It is 92
per cent, or nine per cent better than one year
age, and represents a production under favorable
future conditions of 35,162,000 bushels.

0ats—-—The crop has improved considerably
during June in some sections, and-deteriorated
in others. The condition is 87 per cent and the
52,897,000 bushels.

Rye—The outlook for the crop is 90 percent
or normal, the same as last month and one point
above the ten-year average. The iorecasted pro—
duction is 9,649,000 bushels. Harvesting is un-
der way in the'southern and central counties.

Hay——The good crop of hay, estimated at 93
per cent of normal which is '13 per cent better
than the ten-year average, promised a production
oi? 4,399,000 tons. This is the second largest
crop ever produced in the state. /

Truck Crops—Tomatoes, watermelons and

cantaloupes are each reported as 90 per cent or

bage at 93 per cent.

Sugar Beets—The outlook is 88 per cent, one
point better than one month ago. Condition for
growth, cultivation and weeding have been good.
The acreage is somewhat less than during the
years of high priced sugar.

Fruits—There has been a considerable June
drop in apples but many orchards have an ample
crop remaining. Early apples are plentiful,” and
the only varieties that are light over extended
areas are Baldwins and Spies. Scab and fire
blight are quite prevalent in some sections. The
present condition figure oi.’ 75 per cent presages
a crop of 10,756,000 bushels.

Peaches have a condition of 78 per cent, 1'
resenting a production of 1,248,000

bushels; grapes, 92 per cent representing a crop
of 111,892,000 pounds The outlook for plums is
76 per cent of a crop and of blackberries and
raspberries, 90 per cent.

Cherries have been seriously injured by shot-
hole fungus, and what had ”developed into nearly
a full crop was reduced to an estimated produc-
tion of 80 per cent.

l: HE, experience “of the Dairymen's League Col
- operative Association, Inc., in the ice cream
business shows in a striking“ way why cog-opera-

tion makes possible not only a better return for ’

i the producer, but also a lower price for the icon-
Sumer.

The association now operates'three ice cream ‘

plants, located at Auburn, N. Y.,‘1Cartha‘ge,xN.
Y. and Milton, Pa. These are ‘goodésigsed'towns,
on main railroad lines and So situated that. the

products of these plants can be, delivered-to a .,

strip of territory beginning atthe Canadian bor-
der and extending through northern and central
.New York and northern Pennsylvania practically
I down ’to Harrisburg. The plants are’modern ‘ln
every-particular and the ice cream made in'them
is of the first quality, going beyond the require-
ments of the law as to purity, butterfat content,
etc. , . .
When the officers of. the association decided to
manufacture ice cream and sell it direct to the
dealers, a notice to that effect was inserted in
the “Dairymen’s League News,” the official pub-
lication of the association, andvmembers .were
urged to interest dealers in handling the product.
There Was an enthusiastic response; in fact in
less than a month about three hundred store
keepers ‘in the association’s territory had agreed
to 'sell “League” ice cream. The plan worked out
something like this: .

The members would go to the storekeepers

in their respective'towns and say:

“Now, look here, Mr. Jones, we’d like to call ,

your attention to the fact that our association is
going in for the manufacture of ice cream, be-
ginning in a month or so, and we’d like you to
handle it. It’s GOOD ice cream, the best that
can be made, and we’re proud of it. We’re go-
ing to use it at our grange picnics, at our church
sociables and at every other opportunity we can,
and of course we’ll boost it to the limit. If you’ll
handle it, we’ll buy all we need from you and help
in every way we can to increase your sales.”

It is easy to understand the effectiveness of
such a sales argument when, it comes from a
membership of something like 70,000. And of
course as a large proportion of the dairy pro—
ducers in the association’s territory are members
of the organization, and as the prosperity of the
community is in many cases tied up with the
prosperity of the dairy farmers, the storekeepers
feel that it is good business policy to support the
Dairymen’s'. League Co-operative Association. On
the other hand, if the local storekeeper buys the
products cf the association, the members are
likely to patronize him in return, in Preference
to some dealer 'who does not handle the goods
of their organization.

Each member is of course keenly interested

The fine League Plant at Auburn, N. Y. Since March
15th this modern plant has been manufacturing large
quantities of League ice\cream. It isvequipped to pas-
teurize and bottle milk, manufacture butter, sweetened

, and plain condensed ‘milk, ice cream mixes and pow-

dered milk. Between 1000 and 1500 gallons of ice cream
can be made here in one day. It has an ice manu-
Jacturing capacity of more than 20 tons per daY- Its
daily receiving, capacity is 200,000, lbs. of milk. The
plant has been thoroughly modernized under the direc-
tion of the League’s Engineering Department without

News," is or interest. While overzealo'usn'ess' isé
not -desirable,.it is a good sign When members
are enthusiastic about their organization: ” '

“Reports have come to us that in somel'ocali-S'
ties the enthusiasm of farmers ever the League
ice cream has led some storekeepers tofeel that
they might be boycottedif they did not put in the.
farmers’ brand. While We realize that the farm-
ers in most localities are prObably' very anxious _
to see their own brand of‘cream sold there, never-.
tireless they should realize that they may consti- »
tute only,a part of the entire community, and ‘
that the storekeeper has to be guided at all times
by what he thinks- will please the largest 'number
of people. We feel sure that no locality has had
any intention of boycotting any merchant be«
cause he did net put in League ice cream, all-
though it may. be that the enthusiasm- of some
farmer communities has resulted in some such
feeling on the part of the merchants.

“Any such effort would, of course, be a fatal
mistake and would lead to all kinds of trouble:
Let us bodst League ice cream and all League}
products every chance we get, but let us keep
constantly on guard against doing anything that?
might make any merchant feel'that he was being;
forced into handling League products. , -’

“Just a little good-natured, honest boosting

from all of us and the high quality of'lLeague

ice cream will do the rest."
‘ N 0 sales Expense

--Perhaps the most striking fact about this ice

cream campaign is that it was conducted at -pr\ac‘-~
tically no expense to the association. Ordinarily

an ice cream manufacturer must send‘ cut sales-

men to see the dealers, several months in ad'-

vance of the summer seaSon, especially when he

istrying to sell in alterritoryinnwhichhe has not

done business before, or Where' competition is

keen; These salesmen must be".paid, either in

salary or commission and in'addition their living‘
and traveling expenses muSt'be taken’.cpre of;

Europe’s Crops Below Last Years’, Says Department Of Commerce ,

ELIEVING that the European food situation
will continue for several years at least to

have a marked influence upon the American price L

for bread-stuffs, it is the aim of the Business
Farmer to keep its readers advised so far as pos—
sible on European developments. ,

When the war closed Europe’s agriculture was
pretty badly shattered and it was evident that
for a year or two the countries over there would
have to\import large
the United States. But it was supposed that
after the second year European agriculture would
be on its feet again. However, despite the en-
couragement that has been given to agricultural
enterprise by both government and private agen~
cies, most of the countries are still far from the
pinnacle of their pre-war agricultural production.
An examination of export statistics will show
how important a factor exports of wheat‘are.
From Aug. 1st, 1919 to July,-‘1920, the United
States and Canada exported 276,693,000 bushels
of wheat. For the corresponding period of 1920—
1921, theSe two 'countries exported" 405,255,000

bushels; and for the same period the next 'year, ,

. 381,368,000 bushels. These expontsrepresented
‘from a trifle under one-third to a triflepver one:
third of the total preduction of the two countries.
Since last November, the United States has ex-
ported 116,177,000 bushels or

Smaller Wheat Crops ‘

The month of June provided fair—weather con-
ditions for European crops, with adequate rain-
fall in England, France, Rumania and northern
Italy, cables Alfred P. Dennis, special representa-
tive of the Department of Commerce, Rome. In,
Germany, southern Italy,-Aus‘tria, Czechoslovakia
and Hungary, however, the reports still show in-
sufficient rainfall to meet agricultural needs.

The corn crop in, Rumania presents-a fine ap-‘g

pearance, although the acreage, as ofl‘lcially re—
ported, falls short of expectations. In Italy the
acreage .of-corn‘ is practically the 'same as last
year, with the plants advancing under perfect
growing conditions in the no‘r-th, but in the
southern Provinces already seriously injured by
_ Spain has reduced; the
import duty on corn and is importing ‘larger quan—
tities of this commodity from the UnitedStates. ‘

German Demand for . Bread Grain
In view of the prospects for a poor harvest,
the German Government isalready contemplating
measures for food. provisioning, and a bill is now
under discussion whereby 2,500,000 metric tons
of grain will’be requisitioned from the German
farmers, at a cutérate price, and there will be
also a provision in. the bill for the purchase from
abroad of 2,000,000 metric’tons of bread grain.
The” noticeable dropdnsthe consumption of meat
in Germany is undoubtedly traceable to the unor-
v‘ganized strike promulgated by the meat-consum-
i'ng public as a protest: against the prevailing
high prices. ‘ .. r g f g

“AMERICA’S LARGEST/ COLISEUhI
. IN COURSE 0F_ CONSTRUC-
TIQN AT MICHIGAN STATE

\ " "FAIR GROUNDS

WOBKMEN are rapidly rushing

 

 

 

 

 

'to completion at the State Fair
.. . grounds _what is declared will
be the largest col'iseum in the United
States at a cost of nearly a quarter of
a million dollars. The Coliseum will
not only be a valuable addition to the
property otthe State -Fair, _but Will

Geo. M. Dickinson, in_inclement weather
. ~Secy.-Manager- , - nearly, all' kinds- of
Michigan State Fair entertainment feat-
‘ ures which are ordin-
arily put on in front of thegrand-stand.
lilanager Geo. W. Dickinson expects to
make the Coliseum entirely self-supporting
from the proceeds during the Fair and
'i'rom other events which will be‘ staged
there when the Fair is not in progress.
The Coliseum which is being constructed
of steel and hollow tile, will be as nearly
fire-proof as it is possible to make it and
will seat approximately 5,000 people.
The principal use to which it will be
put during the Fair will be for judging
cattle and horses, from Monday to Friday,
Sept. 4-8th. There will be no charge for
, admission to the Coliseum during the day,
but a charge of 50 cents will be made in
the evening. at which time an entertain-
ment will be put on with an historical
pageant requiring from 1,000 to 1,500
people and closing with a bang-up good
horse show. . .
To Mr. Dickinson, secretary-manager of
the Fair, undoubtedly goes much of the
credit for this splendid structure. For
years Mr. Dickinson has had dreams of
a eoliseum of this kind and as the Fair
prospered he realized that his dreams might
some day come true. Last fall he ac-
companied Mr. H. H. Halladay, then State
Commissioner of Agriculture. to Sgpringfleld,‘
Mass., to view the their largest Coliseum
in the United States on the fair grounds
of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society.
It was this visit which convinced both
Messrs. Dickinson and Halladay of the necessity and value of a Coliseum to the Michigan State Fair if it was to continue in its place of leadership.
.\view above shows the. Coliseum in course of construction and the architect’s drawing“)! what the building will look like when completed.

chat article by “Uncle Joe @311
11011" and the. reply by the editor

1 , The editor things Boole Jdo unduly” a”
‘ . Pessimistic but! I think we have

much cause for pessimism.

’1 take issue with the editor when
he says taxes haven’t moreascd out
of proportion to £116
Taxes in Boyne City are
6 1- 10 per cent of the assaulted valu-

ation and writers in M. B. F. reports
, taxes of 12 and 13 per cent. I be-

lieve such rates of taxation were un-

heardofarawyearoao . 1 ,_

I believe $2, 600 a year is enough
for a Circuit Court judge. sud that

we could get plenty of capable men _

for that salary. I can’t understand
why a farmer should bd willing to
pay such high salaries when he must
he contented with such meager re-
turns for his own ,eiIorts. ,

I believe an income tax’ would be
a just tax and that it shoud be pro»
vided-but it won’t help us any. It
will just furnish more money to be
spent. Plans to spend the money will

be made long before any money is .

received from the tax.

One of, the“ greatest causes for
high taies are our public schools
which account for .half of our ex-
penditures, much of which is worse
than wasted. Every little school
must have its agricultural instructor,
its domestic science department, 1ts
manual training department, its
athletic department whose only rea-

son for existence ispto furnish extra

positions at the- public expense.
I believe the work our
schools are doing . in

high
the common

branches isn’t as good as the 'work

done by our- country schools 40‘years
ago. The Minnesota high school that
altered a selection of. 62. courses, 38
academic and 24 vocational, is only
an extreme example of the tendency
in all our schools.

I believe the movement for con-
solidated schools, oicept in a few ex-
ceptional cases, is an outrage on the
public.

.We have turned our educational
system over to educators and they

‘ are exploiting it for their own bene-

fit. The present attemptto make

the office of Superintendent of Pubr

lic Instruction appointive instead of
elective is simply to get it as far
away from the control of the public
as possible.

A soil survey of the state is a. new
activity just started. I understand it
starts in‘ Charlevoix county and
takes the form of experiment on
three forms.

When you consider the number of
farms in Charlevoix county and that
there are 83 counties in the state
you can form some idea or! the posi—
tions it will provide, for the deserv—
ing for years to come.

Of course those fellows have'spent
time and money to get their educa-
tion, and we are supposed to pro-
vide attractive and
tions for them .for the rest of their
lives. And of course the Agricul-
tural College will go to thelegisla-
ture and ask for increased appro-
priations to provide for the extra
work \

I believe we have an efficient and
business—like state administration

but they are doing nothing to re'-,

duce taxes, quite the contrary. This
is a great opportunity (or, the demo-
cratic party in this state- It‘rthey
would come before the people with
a practical plan to reduce taxation
and throw all other Issues aside- I

of carrying the state—K. S. Wood.,

COUNTY oovm'mr

 

HAVE been mung to see in,

your valuable publication discus-
sion of the proposed county com-
mission form of gouernmcnt for
counties. . We have been discussing

it in our Grange here and also the ’

county Grange and it looks to .us
that it is inspired by politicians. It

sentation of the incorporated cities '.

omcisls who would take away from
our representative board of super-
visors thsir constitutional powers
and any other. power that the legis-
lature may vest in the commission-
ers.

The agricultural organizations are
not behind this measufe. Who is? I
hope this will be thoroughly brought
before the voters before election.—
Howard Smith, Saginaw _Cpu-n-ty.

The supporters of this measure failed
to secure the necessary number of poti-
tlons so that it will not be submitted this
fall. There has been much discussion on
the subect in the M. B. F., which you

have 0 ently failed to see. The M. ,B.
F. is not sure that the proposal (is as

.. vicious as it appears on the surface. but

intended to present arguments on both
sides. based upon the experiences of
counties in other agricultural states, had
the measure been submitted—Editor.

HORSE-SENSE
AVI'NGV read with "interest the
letters about styles Iwould like
to speak a piece, too.

.The adverse comment has not been
based on the clothes of the average
woman, nor on. the majority of wo-
man. I think most or us will ad,-

mit that the girl and. man- in bath:

ing suits, described some time ago,

by H. W, were not behaving pro!- g

perly, but the entire population is
not likely to follow their example.
Nor are we likely to see bovies of
young women roaming the fields and
orchards holding pieces of ambrdid-
cry in front of them. It is decidedly
NOT the prevailing fashion. Boys

and’young men may play in the old ‘

swimming hole, clad only in ne-
ture’s garb, but we are going to stay
modestly away. If we happen to see
them we are not going to write to
the papers and rave abdut it. We
mothers and older sisters have given
the lads their bath every Saturday
night for several years. We are not~
interested in their bare flesh.

The New York 'magaaines state
that. Paris is adopting the ankle
length skirt, and show illustrations
of this style. It reminds one of a
bathrobe.’ I would hate to pick cu—

cumbers, or go berrying in one ot’-‘

those swishy, long shifts.

The dress worn by 'the majority
of Michigan women has more to re-
commend it than ever before. We
have galoshes to keep our feet dry,
woolen stockings in many cases,
knickers, which are
"petticoats. " We have the moderat-
ely shgrt skirt, usually it covers our
knees well, and is made of some
opaque material. We have the un-

restricted waistlins, tree neck andg
arms, bobbed hair it we think it '

becomes us, tho I don’t- favor it
personally. 7
of other countries saw us!

As a whole I believe the adverse
comment is very unjust, for it is
based on a few exceptional cases.

. . tin
cusses the unfitness of the aver—
“- age rural teacher as an argu-
' -? ment against consolidated schools.
About 190 per Cent of the one- -room

district schools have teachers who.

are not qualified for their job. And
gwhy? Because the school boards of
those districts won’t pay sufficiently
high wages to induce a Normal
trained teacher to teach there. With
a properly constructed "and well
equipped consolidated school, the
standard of training required of the
teachers is sure to be raised. A
, position in such a school will draw
,better teachers because there they
_ ‘ havermuch better surroundings and
z-better conditions under which to
work. Each teacher can have one
or tWO grades to devote his or her
whole time to, while in the dis—
trict school a teacher must teach all
the way {from 1 to 45 pupils or more,
and ‘all grades from the first to the
eighth The average length of a
Class period in the district school is
from five to twenty minutes, in the
consolidated school, from thirty to
forty-five minutes or more. These
, are a few of the reasons why a child
can be taught more in a. consolidat—
- ed school.
A'n $85,000 bond issue is. a large
sum. But what will you farmers
yget for your money? Do you know?
Most rural people do not. It is the
-educators, who have studied the
,ouestion, who kn 3w what the rural
consolidated school can and does do
for the rural people. It is the busi—
.ness of the educators 1to knew the
best ways of .educat1ng,ch11dren _as
1 much ,. as it is the farmer’s business
to know how to raise corn and hay.
No one wants to put his little
five-year-old tot in a - bus to be
bumped around for miles. Surely
not; A child at that age should not
be in school. Better he should not
go until he is seven Then too, it
five year old Johnny must .be.se.i1t
to school to get him out of mam-
ma’s way, the consolidated school
will take better care of his health
and morals than the one- room, one-
teacher school 'ever can. The con-
' solidated school has the aid of
trained teachers, a person to over—
see al'nd direct the child’s play, in-
door toilets, and supplies necessary

to take care of the health of every

individual child. Also it has the
proper hygenic surroundings af-
forded by an up-to—date school build-
ing. As far as small children suf-
fering in being transported to and
.from school, the busses are required
'. _to, be as comfortable as} modern in-
" venItives genius can .make', them. «Bé-
sides, the children all aren’t going
to be small always are they?
If farmers wOuld only think open-
I mindedly with fairness t9 both sides,
; if they would obtain literature and
5 data upon the subject from both
or all angles, I believe, in fact I
am sure, that the great body of the
rural people of America would give
their hearty approval to the con-
solidated school. The farmer
. doesn’t use the flail to thresh his
I grain any more or the cradle to cut
his grain; why, then, should he in-
sist upon clinging :to an educational
system that has been superseded by
'better and improved methods?

I wonder (come to the root of the
matter) if the farmer is thinking
more about his school than he is
about his school tax. All things

‘ considered a tax for a better school
will not be a real burden. Where the
consolidated plan has been tried the
people wouldn’t go back «to the old
one-room school any quicker than
they would go back to using scythes
to cut all of their hay. Education
is an investment; and “an invest--
ment in knowledge always pays the
best interest.” Study it out for your-
-Self.—-C. A.,'Macomb County, Mich.

now starting its eighth season of success and has paid over nine
thousand claims to date, a total of over $1,100,000. '

The regular policy covers fire and theft up to $1, 000 and liability
up to $5,000. Additional fire and theft and collision insurance is

pests can be controlled. The fruit
has received comparatively little at-
tention, so few varieties have been

series lists Only four varieties of
nectarines, as compared with 60 of
peaches. But there should not now

fruit in the background. With the
present means of protection against

, ‘its enemies the nectar-inc might eas-

ily become an important fruit. The

. smooth skin is a decided advantage

over the peach for drying and pre-
serving.

Have same of our readers had
experience in growing nectarines’? If
there are any such we shall be

to the value of the fruit for market.

On a clay soil the growth is slow-

checked than on light lands. The
trees may be more tardy in bearing,
but usually live longer. It is more
expensive to fit the ground and culti-

orchard comes into bearing. ~

began picking out loose feathers. In
two short weeks friend .crow Was
transformed into one of the biggest,
bhckest, shiniest birds you ever saw.
And loving! You never saw a more
loving pet. He tried morning after
morning to follow his two young
masters to high school and on their
returning at night, he would meet
them half a mile down the road and
ride home on a shoulder, making
funny chuckling noises and rubbing
his head about their necks and faces.

Blacky searched out and devoured
the great worms with which our to—
matoes were infested

with the Studebaker our pet would
begin an inspection, tear paper and
try to carry parcels away, or stand

darm implements, care had to be
taken‘ lest the black rascal carry

‘ away nuts, washers and bolts.

~‘ Blacky had a peculiar way of
greeting strangers. He would swoop
down unexpectedly from some point
of? vantage, very often the porch
root, and emitting a loud squawk,
peck the approaching comer on the
head whether hatless or otherwise
It very often proved startling to be

ionally he tried this trick on the
home folks and seemed to derive
pleasure from it. He never allowed
a. stranger to touch him.

Not long before our pet’s untimely
dsath, he sprang a. new’ trick by
pulling clothes-pins from the wash
hanging on the line and had to be
shut up until the clothes were dried

. and taken doWn.

’ 7 One morning in early November
we found- him lying dead behind a

renewal wouldnt that prevent him fore-
closing for another year?———F. M, Che—
boygan County, Mich.

He may foreclose the second mort—
gage, subject to the first, as soon as
the second mortgage becomes due.
He is not obliged to renew it; and
if he does renew it, it does.not‘ ex-
tend the time of payment of it for
one year; but he may continue his
foreclosure. Filing of the renewal
is to prevent subsequent purchasers
or encumbrances from gaining any
lien ahead of his mortgage and make
the mortgage good for another year,
but does not prevent foreclosure at
the time the mortgage is due. The
foreclosure must be subject to the
first mortgage; and, if his step to
foreclosure endangers the security of
the first mortgagor then the, first
may seize the property under the
mortgage and proceed with his own‘
foreclosure—Legal Editor.

 

TO DESTROY POISON IVY

Will you please advise me how to de-

stroy poison lvy?—Subscriber,' Oakland
County, Mich. .
The only entirely satisfactory

method is to have someone who is
not susceptible to the poison dig out
the plants and tear the vines down
from the trees. These should be
piled wherexthey will not be easily
run against and when dry may be
burned when the wind is such that
the smoke will not go toward any
dwelling. The smoke is poisonous
and must not be inhaled. A suscep-
tible person should be careful not
to touch the clothes or tools of the
man who has been handling the

. If a person suspects that he has
come in contact with poison ivy, he
should wash the part touched with
strong soap suds repeatedly, rinsing
off the soap and applying more.

Even after the first signs of inflame.-
tion appear this washing with soap
will reduce the injury by removing
much of the poisonous oil. When'
once the inflamation has set. in sev-
erely it is best to consult a physi-
clan. —-E. A. Bessey, Professor of
Botany, M. A C.

Strike!

HE coal miners have struck. The rail-

way men have struck. One more strike
like either of them and poor old Uncle Sam
will be out! ' _

t strikes us that now is the time to put an
end to strikes. . Threats have been tried With-
out results. Arbitration has brought us no-
where. ’Twixt the bull-headedness ofthe em-
ployers and the stubbornness of the union lead-
ers and the impotency of the labor board the
poor innocent bystander is as helpless as a
worm in water. _

"There is one agency in the United States
that can put an end to strikes. That is the
government of the United States. But its
' hands are tied so long as the natural resources
and the transportation facilities are owned by
private individuals whose sole concern 1n their
operation is profits and more profits. - ,

We are faced with an emergency. Shall we
swallow our objections to government owner-
ship and proceed at once to a solution of the
problem, or shall we freeze next-Winter and
invite the wolf to the door by vainly beating
about the bush for a solution which is not
there? .

As sole owner and proprietor of the mines and
the railways the United States could settle the
strike in short order. A national board of arbi-
tration clothed with power to make inVestiga-
Lions and enforce its decisions could soon ar-
rive at an equitable basis of adjusting the de-
mands of the strikers. If the strikers refused
to accept the decisions of the board, there
would be but one alternative. Put the stand-
ing army to work. Then coal would. be mined;
trains would be run; .and the army would
learn some useful trades.

The iron is hot. Better strike, Uncle Sam!

The Patient is Better

HEN you’re feeling fit as a fiddle and
enjoying life to the uttcrmost, isn’t it
awful to meet with an accident that sends you
weak and wobbly to bed and makes you feel
like a last year’s dish-rag, and shuts out all the
joys of life? But, oh boy, ain’t it a grand and
glorious feeling when your wounds, begin to
heal, the fever cools, and at last you stand on
your pins once more and breathe again the
ozone of health and happiness?

In 1866 the farmer’s purchasing pow/er in'pre-

to $9.30 "the latter part. of 1920 and‘st‘ayed,"

— Friday on' International Politics

. RUNNING through the masterly inaugural

address of Pres. David Friday of the M.
A. 0., one finds many brilliant gems of thought
on twentieth century economics and politics.
Take this for instance: '

“Iii international matters we are still mouth-
ing over the old .shibboleths; we are still keep-
ing alive the old prejudices. It is high time
that someone was formulating a new interna-
tional policwaor this country which committed
in dignity with our economic power. I fear
that this task awaitsa younger generation Thus
far we have produced little except a flowfiof con-
gressional bombast compounded out of preced-
ent and prejudice."

Here is a ringing challenge to those who
through ignorance or prejudice would isolate
America from the affairs of the rest of the uni-
verse. Here is a defy to those who. in the
blindness of partisan“ bigotr and the darkness '
of their illiteracy renounce the vows of Amer-
ica and. turned traitor-to the rest of mankind,
and who still, in the embrace of a pride too
arrogant to admit of error, impede the work of
reconstructing the world ’3 shattered political
and economic structures upon which only a
permanent peace can be built. ‘

.As citizens of a grm republic we have the

_ right to express our individual notions about

the duty of our nation to other countries. . But
unless We talk with a full knowledge of 'the
world’s history and correctly interpret the les-
s n which it teaches We shall wander into?
grievous errors of judgment and conduct.
We are wont to seed at the internationalistic
preachings of our men of ‘ letters, forgetting
that they are the result of a thorough knead-
edge of the world’s history and needs. If we
as a. people would pay more attention to our
educators and less attention to our politicians
we should be very much betterwoif. "

Good News for the Beat Grower-y ,
ABRING a. crop failure American farm—

ers will produce the fourth largest. crop~

of beans this year in their history. Under the
conditions which hays prevailed the last three
years so great a crop of beans wouldupell a
large financial loss to the farmers. But We

. have the best ofreasons forbelieving'that these~

conditions are no more and that even so great -
a crop asis nowin pmspectennbeheneeted
at a profitto the producers. A U. S. Depart-
ment of Commerce report dated July 15th,
says: _ ' .

“We are now, eating more beans than we raise. .
For months American buyers‘abroad, have been
scouring the world’s markets for beans. Fer
the first time in several years been shipments
have been renamed from Mexico, and new Consul
Wesley Frost at Marseille, France. advises-the
Department that American buyers have been de- .‘
mending such heavy quantities ct Ronnanidn '
beans in that market that local stocks have been ’
exhausted. Darin April and May 199.000 hush-
els of the been made famous by the “historical '
New England port were shipped to the, United
States.

_ but unless I heve name an’ address
I can’t write personal letters, so
please when writin' t6 Uncle Rube,
give your address. ' \~

All this leads up to a letter from
a friend, a reader or M B. 37., who
diners with me a little regardin'. the
equality or the sexes—a man who
i ' thinks the male is jest a little mite
. - ' superior to the female an' cites the
* “ ' deer—«the big buck deer fightin’ tor
the female. He cites a good many

/ the lead, always fightin’ —.-an’ for
_ vwhat? ' Why,.ain't he fightin' for
ésomethin’ jest a, little bit better’n
heis? Seems like a man who could
.write a’ letter like Mr. F. S. wrote.
' to me could and would know that
' the very reason the male, animal or
' man, fights .for the female, is be-
cause he knows the iemale is a su-
perior being, a something he wants
to possess; the, only thing in human
existence ’at can .rnake a man happy
or miserable, as the case may be. ‘
An' so we go on, in the case of.
the deer, as Mr. F. J. has spoken—
"bout the only thing cited by him
that makes the male deer so} much
"superior is the fact that he has.
horns with which to fight.
,. , Why nature put horns on the, male
‘ -» deer and forgot to put 'em on the

fess I don’t' know. But jest because

he has horns, jest 'cause the male'~

" . of the human species has a little
' mite more muscle, is no sign he is
~ more brava an’ not a darn bit Of a
sign he is better'n the female of
, the species—wot any. day nor ‘any

— * place.

Now, to speak plainly, an' to show
you that I am unbiased in .my'
opinion, [want to impress this tact
onto your mind—I DON’T LIKE»
WOMEN! As a gen’ral thing they’re
in the way, they’re fussy - an’.
arg'ifyin’ an' everything.“ ,They al«
ways want their own way an' gen’-
raly have it. They rule the earth!
Men may not admit, this, maybe Mr.
F. J. don’t believe it an’ yet I jest
bet a bran’ new dollar bill, when I
git one, that his wife tells him what
pants he’ll’wear on Sunday an’ the
way to comb his hair an’ to eat
with a fork ’stead 03a knife, an' not
to pour his coiiee or tea in the sauc-
er ’fOre he drinks it.

Oh, yes, F. J., man, or the male of
the species, is a superior bein’ in his

‘1 _ own mind an’in no other way. When

' we talk ’bout' bravery, the brave
men that we have and I ,want to say
to you that we have brave~menl We
heve lots of em 311' We’ re proud

bravest of these men lace mother-
hood—the pangs an' pains of it—
face it jest once an see where their
bravery’d go. There’d be no second
child in any home an’ it’s doubtful
it there’d be a first one.

An’ in case of sickness an' even
when death comes into the home,
who is so brave an’ strong as the
woman? Who faces lifefs troubles
like a woman? I don’t like ’em, my-
self but I know their goodness an'

RED CEDAR CHESTS

INCE it is; the odor of'red cedar
which is eifective, against' moths

it is recommended that in using
cedar chests for the protectiou of
clothing, fabrics and furs, special
care should be taken to prevent un-
due escape of the aroma from the
chests. The chests should remain
tightly closed except when clothing

is being removed or placed in them,

, structive larvae, or Worms.

‘ EditedbyMRSGRACENEImIs gummy.“ i“

and this procedure should be. accom-

plished as rapidly as possible. Aside '
from their value in killing moths, ,

cedar chests are so tightly construct-

‘ed that adult moths can not gain ac-

cess to them except When they are
open. ; '

Cedar~ chests exert no noticeable
effect uponthe adult moth or miller,

- the parent insect, which does "no

damage to clothing but which may
lay eggs from which hatch the de-
, Mot/he
that run or fly into chests, when op-
en, may live as long as two weeks
or even a month, and lay many fer-
tile eggs.

Further, cedar chests are not ef-
fective against eggs, no matter
whether the eggs are laid outside of

the chest and accidentally introduced,

with the clothing, or whether they
are laid in the chest itself. This is
true regardless of the age of the eggs
when they are subjected to the ac-
tion of the chest. Imprisonment of
adult moths and eggs in' a cedar
chest, however, is not an important
consideration since the young larvae
promptly succumb to the effect of
the chest and neither the moth nor
the eggs eats.

Cedar chests do kill young larvae
——Larvae hatching from eggs within
the chests die in most, instances
Within two or three days, and prac-
tically all die within two weeks.
Larvae hatching from eggs outside
the chests and introduced into them
in clothing do not die so quickly
as larvae hatching inside the chests
because theyare older, but the ma-
jority of such larvae which soon
show a. tendency not to feed, die
during the first and second weeks,
although some may live longer. Two
larvae, 2 days old when placed in
a 'chest, lived ‘for about 35 days;
such resistance, however, is the ex-
ception rather than the rule.

It is important that articles in-
tended for storage. in cedar chests
should be most painstakingly

. CAUTIONS FOR CANNHG

1. CLEANLINESS is the watch ‘
word in successful canning—clean
hands, clean utensils: clean, pure
water, clean, sound products.

2 Follow one set of directions. Do >
not mix methods. If the directions .
say boiling water, use boiling
water. .

3 All products must be , fresh,
crisp and free' from de‘cay.‘

4 All vegetables should becanned
the same day they are taken from .
the garden. This is especially '
necessary for peas, corn,
and asparagus. \ ..
5 Avoid jars with defective
points, springs and caps. .

61 Blanch leaf and green .vege-
tables in steam, all other products
in boiling water. Do not count
time until water jumps.

7 Blanch only small quantities of
a product at one time. Pack this

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

 

. 4- Doing a. Good Turn
“Oh, what nice berries these are i" ex-

claimed Jimmy Patch to his brother as‘

they came into, the garden. '
“Yes,. they are nice,” .was the answer.
“I wish Hilda was here, she couldhave

all she wanted to eat, couldn’t she. Billy?”
“Yes, Jimmy, if she was here but I am

berries this year."
.«“I have an idea

denly. _
“What ,is it?” asked Billy. ,
"I think it would be .nice to pick a
large bowl of berries and take ,them to
Hilda." u _
said Billy slowly shaking his
head, “that w‘ouid never do, you know
Hilda eats hardly anything.”

“That's just‘ the reason we should take'

them to her. She only gets broth to eat
and I’m sure she must get tired of one
thing all the time. Perhaps. these ber-
ries will give her an appetite:

“I suppose we can take them to, her
anyway; if she can’t eat them her grand-
ma can," said Billy. -

It was soon decided that'they should
be taken that noon so they began at
once to pick,the~ berries.

James- and William Patch were com-
monly known as Jimmy and Billy. Jim-
my was ten years old and Billy_ was
eight. Their parents had given them
two rows of strawberries in the garden.
And in this patch they spent all their
spare minutes.

, Robert's Early Potatoas

Robertwas twelve years old, he lived
with his parents on a large farm. He
loved all the animals, and above all he
loved to work : inthe garden and watch

things grew. .

‘--One da he heard his father tell a
nei hbora e would like to plant some
eary potatoes, but he was so busy he
did not have time.

‘» That set Robert to thinking. That
evening he said to his father. “Father
may I have an acre of ground to plant.
to early potatoes; ‘I’ll do all the culti-
.vating- and all the work if you will plow
the ground."

His father said, “All right, Robert."

. Robert worked early and late in his
potato patch. .

Robert's. father took the M. B. F. and
his mother kept them all and made one
large book with them and Robert spent
his evenings reading all the good advice
he could find in them about early pota-
At last Robert’s potatoes were
ready to dig. '

One day he received a letter from his
grandmother, she said she would visit

'them in a few days.

Grandma always helped his mother
with the work, so she said .“I’ll help get
dinner. Robert, will you please bringm'e'
a. pan of potatoes, and I’ll pare them?"

Robert ran to his potato patch and
soon had a pan of potatoes. and brought
them to his grandmother. Vi’hen he told
her all about them she praised him for
being so industrious and said they were
the 'best potatoes she had ever eaten.

Robert. sold his potatoes and put the
money in 'the bank to go towards his
college education at the M. A. C.-—-How-
ard Henry, R. 3, Jackson, Mich.

Just in Time

Once upon a time there lived a widow
and her two sons. They lived about one-
fourth of a mile from a small lake where
fish were plentiful. The mother was
about fifty years old. One of the boys
was 16 years old and the other 12. The
oldest boy’s name was Ted and the small—
er boy was called Bill. _

Now it happened that these people were
poor. But although they were poor the
good mother managed on eVery Sunday
to have a good dinner for her sons.

One Saturday afternoon the mother
received a letter from her brother saying
that he expected to be with her Sunday.
The mother had everything ready for a
good dinner. but she discovered she did
not have a bit of meat in the house. Ted

‘ and Bill were picking cherries at ’a neigh-

name was. Hilda Phair often came to,

play with them. 'She was an orphan and
lived with her grandmother, a poor w1d-
ow who lived about half a mile from
Patches’. .She was very kind to Hilda and
did all father that her scanty means
Would' allow her. Hilda helped the boys
. with their straWberry patch. When she
saw , the berries turning she cried out
happily: "Oh, see, the berries are tum-
, ing red, they‘make me hungry for them
now." .
“You shall have all you care to eat
when they are ripe." Jimmy promised__her.
ut he was wrong about this for scar-
ce y a week later Hilda was taken srious-
1 ill.
yFor a long time she ate hardly any-
thing. Later she began to take broth,

she ate very little of this, however, and.

she soon grew tired of it. Many times
she thought of the boy’s berry patch and
sometimes she believed she could eat a.
few.‘berries if she had them.“ . ,.
' “Who' is going to carry them??? asked
Billy. ' ,‘.

“You may," was the reply. “You’re the
youngest.” '

When they arrived at Widow.Barton.’s.

home Billy timidly knocked and soon the
kind widow appeared in the doorway.
She was a kind old lady_with 'snow-
white hair and smiling blue eyes. She
was always kind to the boys and they
loved her very much. , ‘ ‘
"We have brought a few berries for
'Hilda, Jimmy thinks they' will give her
an appetite,” said Billy handing her the
bowl of berries. ’
, ,“Bless your dear little hearts.’
cried,“a smile lighting up her face: “It
was just a few minutes ago that ,Hlda
was speaking about your berries nd
wondering if she couldn’t eat some.”

The boys’ faces brightened up with»

happy smiles..‘ . , .
“We' hope she can eat

J “Wle. thank you yery much boys, I'm

bor’s and did not get home until five
o’clock. After they got their chores done
and had eaten their supper their mother
told Bill to go down to the village three
miles away and buy some meat for Sun-
day dinner. ‘

When he was about half way to town
he met a friend of his named Joe Fisk.
W‘hen Joe saw‘Bill he said, “Do you
want to go swimming with me tonight?”

Bill answered, “I would like to, but
my mother told me togo to town and
get some meat."

Then Joe, who was eager to have Bill
go swimming, said. “Why. I just came
from town and the butcher shop was
closed." . '

But this was not true for Joe had not
even been to town. so Bill said that he
would go swimming with him.

When he got home his 'mother said.
“Bill. where is the meat I sent you for?"

Bill answered. “I did not go to town
because I met Joe Fisk and he said that
he had just come from town and that
the butcher shop was closed and then he
asked me to go swimming with him and
I went.”

“That good—for—nothing Joe Fisk!" ex«
claimed Bill's mother, “I don't believe
Joe Went anywhere near town, and be-
sides. the butcher shop never closes until
eight'o’clock. All Joe wanted was to get
you to go swimming. and you were fool-
ish to believe him. Now we have no meat
for my brother.". ‘

:‘Poor Bill}. He wasso ashamed of him-
self'that he’could not‘ look his mother
in the face. .Next morning very early

_,Bill got no and told Ted that he had a

plan to get some meat for dinner. Then
Bill told histbrothe'r his plan.

They fslippedquietly out of the house.
went into the woodshed, got their fish
poles, dug some bait, got a pair of cars
and started for the. lake.

' It was a fine mo’ming for fishing and
they had notvpbeen on the lake fifteen
minutes before Bill felt something tug at
his line. He gave it a quick, short jerk
and hooked a fish. Then he pulled hard
and managed to land a bass that weighed
two pounds, and put it. ,on the stringer,
baited his lineagain'and went 'on fishing.”

down to supper they heard something at‘

the back door.

\"'Wh"at is that?” asked Mrs. Carr.

“I’ll ‘seel” said Herbert, the younger
son, a ad of eleven years.

He went to the door and opened it,
letting in a gust of wind and snow, and-
a lean, wet, bob-tailed cat. She was
black and her hair was so matted that
they called her Rags.

They made her a bed by the stove and
for a long time she did nothing but eat
and sleep, but afterwards she proved. to
be a very good hunter, and by the first
of April there was not a rat or a mouse
on the place. '

One—morning George and Herbert were
out in the barn throwing down hay.

“That looks like a hen’s nest,"- said

,. Herbert. pointing to a. hole.

George took his fork and picked off the
top, and found, not eggs, but Rags and
nine kittens. They brought them down
and put them in a basket, and Herbert
carried them to the house. --
' “Mother! Mother!" they called.

Mrs. Carr came out and said, “Mercy,
sakes! How many are there?”

“Nine," answered Herbert. ,

“They are fine kittens,” said Mrs.
Carr, “and all bob-tailed. I believe we
can get fifty cents apiece for them.”

“We could sell eight," said George.
“That would make four dollars.”

This they did—Deane Miller, Shep-
herd, Mich. .

 

Happiness .

On a cool autumn day. when a few

white snowflakes, together with- some
brown withered leaves were , flying
around, Arthur and Robert Williams

,were storing some of the vegetables in
the cellar, to use in the winter. when
instead of the grass and leaves, there
would be a deep blanket of snow covering
the ground, and it would be very cold.
and people would depend on what they
had stored away. ,

Arthur was large and quite “grown up”
while Robert was almost too small for
his age. He was eleven years but looked
nine. Arthur had dark hair and grey
eyes, while Robert had light curly hair
and brown eyes.

When they put in the last of the vege-
tables from the wagon load, Robert said,
“Say. but we have a lot. Why, I think
we could use them all winter and have
some left.”

“I_ think so too, but let’s not gloat
over these, we have some more to dig
out and haul here,” Arthur answered.

They hurried off with their forks over
their shoulders. On their way to the
field they had to pass a little house
which stood among great pines. In this
house lived a very poor Widow. whose
name was Mrs. Dean. T.Vheri the boys
passed the house they saw the old wo—
man sitting on the door step, they heard
her sigh and then say, “Everyone is
storing away things for the \Vill[(:.,. but
what will I do? Oh, I wish——-—" She
covered her face with her hands and
wept.

Tears filled both boys’ eyes, they did
not speak for a while. When they were
quite far away Arthur said, in a shaky
voice, “Bob. I think we should help Mrs.
Dean, shouldn’t we?"

Robert said, "Yes. I do think we
should. When we go home in the even-
ing, we can fill a pan of vegetables for
her supper and then when we have all
of themstored we can take over several
bushels to her.”

“You are right." said Arthur. “That is
just as I thought."

“They went to the field and worked
hard until they were very warm although
the air about them was cool. ‘

When they had dug out all of the
vegetables, they piled crates full and then
a large pan was filled to the top. ,When
they were going home they stopped at
the 'little house, and seeing the woman
walking in her tiny yard, they, went in
and when they came to Mrs. Dean, Arthur
lifted his hat and said “How do you do,
Mrs. Dean." .

“We thought you would like some vege-
tables for supper, so we brought some,"
said Robert.

“Oh, thank you.” Cried Mrs. Dean, put-

. ting out her hands to take the pan. ”How

can I repay you?”

The boys went home with happy hearts
and the next morning when Mrs. Dean
had gone to a town a half mile ofi they
came with a wagon-load of vegetables,
fruits and other things and filled the

' cellar full.’ So that, that afternoon when

Mrs. Dean went into her cellar, to put
something there. she ”almost cried with
delight when she saw the things.

“Oh, oh, it’s those dear boys again.
Why, I’ll have enough- for all winter.
How I wish I could do something good
for them,” she-said. then she got an idea
andran up the steps, like a young wo-
man. There she took up her yarn and
knitting needles and began to knit.

When winter came, Arthur and Robert
were seen many times wading thru the
snow to do their chores, and going skat-
ing or coasting with sleds and they wore

heavy woolen stockings, the gifts of Mrs.

Dean.

In the little house among the pines,
there sat a happy old lady beside the fire.
'and though the wind», howled and the
pines sighed and snowdr'fts were piled
all over. she had a cell r full of food
and what more could a poor woman ask?

methods of clarification and preser-
vation that do not require excessive
amounts or time and labor. ‘ ‘
According to the bulletin. the
produced de—

varieties of apples used and wheth-
er they are early or late varieties.
Early apples are usually lower in
sugar content than those that ripen
later in the season and frequently
contain more acid and tannin. Cider
made at any time is better it the
juice of a number of selected varie-

ties is blended so that certain of ,

them correct deficiencies of others.
As a guide in blending, the more
widely-grown varieties of apples are
classified as subacid, tart, astringent,
sweet or aromatic, and the reader is

S 9 told how to make suchcombinatlons

as will give a juice having a well-
balanced sugar, acid and tannin con-
tent. A

Apple juice_and other, fruit juices
can be preserved successfuny by pr‘m
per pasteurization in well-sealed
containers, hence the use of any
chemical preservative is unnecessary
and inadvisable."

Under the prohibition law there
are certain regulations that apply to

,the manufacture and sale of apple

and other fruit juices. The bulletin
contains extracts from the regula-
tions that are of interest to persons
who make cider or other fruit juices
for home use or for sale. for bever-
age purposes or for making vinegar.

At the present time cider is a seas-
onal product, made only during the
period immediately following the
apple harvest and largely consumed
within a short time.‘ As a conse-
quence there is a large consumption
of commercial grape juice and of
synthetic soft drinks in— apple-grow-
ing districts and even in the fami-
lies of apple growers.
small orchardists have learned to.
pasteurize their cider so as to make
it available for use in a sweet con;-
dition at any season. As a result

large quantities of apples that might ,
be converted into a. healthful and re- .

freshing beverage are allowed to go
to waste. The process is as simple
as canning fruits and requires no
more special equipment.
Use Only Sound Fruit 1

Only fully-matured, tree-ripe, per-
fectly sound fruit should be used if
a first-class beverage is desired. An
apple is “cider! ripe” when about
midway between “market ripe” and
“dessert ripe,” having attained full

size and color and developed/ the.
.flavor and odor characteristic of the

variety. Such fruit has begun to
soften slightly, but is still too firm
for eating out of hand. As the mak-
ing of cider is usually incident to
the primary business of growing ap-
ples for’the market, and the material
used is obtained by the grading out
of the small, superficially blemished

' or otherwise unmarketable fruit, the
productvcan be greatly improved by'

holding the apples under proper

conditions for .two or three weeks,»

until they become “cider' ripe.”
Working up poor fruit poorly han-

dled into cider can‘res'ult' in nothing ,

but a product of indiflerent quality.
Partly grown, odorless, fiavorless,
early windfalls in which the starch
has not yet been converted into
sugar are worthless ior’ cider mak-
ing.

None of the summer varieties of
apples used alone will yield juice
which comes up in palatability and

,flavor to the standards set by dis-.

criminating users. By mixing a few

properly selected varieties, however,

the cider maker may improve his
product. The- Winessp is about the

many dollars can be saved in the
cOurse of a year which otherwise
would be paid out of the farm prot-

from the constant use of the farming

good inVest'ment because,- on the av- ~

owner the price of its construction

We keep on hand a stock of bolts
of different sizes and lengths, as
they are sure to come‘ in handy at
some time of the year. In, our shop
we are able to mend harness, sharp-

mower knives and broken parts,
make singletrees,?ix horseshoes, and
many, other small jobs that; often
.run up in many dollars in the course
of a year’. This which usually done
on rainy days or during the winter
'when our work is not rushing. How-
ever, it is in the busy season that the
workshop is appreciated, especially
when somethinggbreaks. In a few
hours time we generally have the
broken part mended and often times
are at work before we could make
a trip to the village blacksmithshop.
Aside from this we perhaps save a
day’s wages, which is just that much
more earned, to say nothing or sav-

some fruition correspondence with

in the hands of the Collection Box.

We Wrote the firm on June 16th,
and on June 26th the company sent
Mrs. E, a check for the amount due

On April 26th, Mrs. H, of Scotts,

Mich., returned a dress which did

not fit to a garment house in New
York City. The value was $14. 95.
After waiting a reasonable length of
time for a refund of her money ac-

cording to the firm' s printed guaran-

tee, she wrote them, but received no
reply. Three more letters were writ-
ten without results. On June 19th,

despairing of ever hearing from the

firm she placed the claim in the
hands of the Collection Box. A
letter was dispatched at once to the
firm and a reply received July 7th
stating that check had been mailed
to Mrs. H. On July 16th we received
the following letter trom our sub-
scriber: \

“I take pleasure in writing you that
the garment company were very prompt
in forwarding me the money due on the
receipt of! a letter from your paper. This
is whatI call quick service and I am
very much pleased with results. I thank
you very much and shall be glad to boost
for your paper at all opportunities."

Mrs. M., of Tustin, Mich., had about
the same experience with a Chicago
firm. The amount of her claim was
only $3.79 but she needed the
money and didn't want to lose it.
Within just a few days after the
Collection Box presented her claim
to the firm in question she received
remittance and at once wrote us the
following grateful letter:

“Received check for $3. 79 today.
Thanks to you for your prompt se
Havo- been waiting and writing back and
forth to them since April 22nd, and no
doubt but that I’d be writing until next
year at this time if I hadn’t written you

about it. 1011 certainly are the farmers'
friend, and I’ll not .forget the service

you rendered me.”

These instances could be multi-
plied many times over as scarcely a
day goes by that the Collection Box
does not eflect a collection of this
nature. This service is rendered
freely and without charge to all sub-
scribers. ‘

In this conectlon a word of cau-
tion is advisable. 'A- few cases have

_ come to our attention in' which the

subscriber did not give the firm
ample time in which to fill an order
or to make the exchange of goods.
It is well at all times to be very
sure that the concern has been giv—
en every opportunity to make the ad-
justment, before calling on the Col-
lection Box. ,- In several instances
subscribers, have written to us just
a day ‘or two before receiving re-
fund on their purchases, and have
thereby caused themselves, the firms
in question and the Collection Box
needless correspondence. ‘

Business, of all kinds, has under-

was not so many years ago that
pack pcddlers were the sole disc
tributors and transports of many
of the household articles of the

Modern transportation. progressive
sales methods—and advertising-—
have broken the shackles of time. '
They make a speedy Job of what
used to take years. Through ad-
vertising many an article has been
introduced simultaneously in stores ,
all over the country.

Advertising today is
used by business to tell you why
you should have certain goods and
how to identify those goods. The
advertisements you find here are a _
truthful catalog of needed ml- \ '

After a. few days he seemed

he had taken cold. The man didn’t keep.

her- him by himself but put him in with 14

others as large again as lie. Yesterday
he brought him back and, said' he. did
not want him. He grown very floor
and does not eat much. I have, him a
pen alone and he roots . and rolls' in
ashes I gave him. He coughs and every
little while he shakes all over as though
he was choked. Can you tell medvhat is
the matter and What to give him? All
the other hogs are healthy and doing
fine.——-F. L. P., Stockbridge, Mich. .I

In all probability the trouble is in
connection with the lungs or' air
passages .and_I doubt very much if
anything can be done for your hog;
Try the following: _

Cuaiacoli (Merck) one’ounce, add
sufficient raw oil to make twenty

_BEAVES.. , -<
I have a valuable mare that shows
symptoms of the heaves. Please advise
me.——A B.. Harrisville. Mich- ‘
Common as this condition is, it is
doubtful whether there is a condi-
tion which is treated is a more care-
less and empirical manner. In the
first place it is customary with most
practictioners to treat all cases of a
chronic nature referrable to the lung
cavity as heaves. III. is chiefly for
this reason that the various treatf
ments‘ in vogue for the relief of this
condition are so uncertain in results.
Unless the affected animal is under
observation foralongtime, or, un-
less an intelligent history of the
case can be obtained, heaves can be
diagnosed only by careful auscula-
tion, (listening) and sounding over ~
the lungs, proceeding_ to which
most practictioners resort but rare-
1_y._ True ‘heaves is, of _ course, incur-
able. Intelligent treatment, how:

, ever, can do much towards enhanc-

ing the value of the patient (as a'
serviceable animal, and in this lies
the point of value in careful exami-
nation. Knowing that in a. case of.
true heaves we can give our dlient
little or no encouragement of cure,
it is little short of criminal from a
professional standpoint . to err.--
through fault of a superficial exami-
nation, to the extent of confounding
a possible curable condition with this
one. After this complete explana-
tion on the subject of ‘heaves, you
will realize it' is nothing short of im-
possible to say-whether rouse-ulna.
has one beavers ‘or".not‘,’twii;h§nt die-1

the most valuable drug in this
disease, and one that has not come.
much into use, is grindella. The
fluid extract is “the most convenient
form and the effect is usually very
gratifying. It is always well to be—
gill with a small dose which should
be increased until the desired effect
is obtained.

 

LUMPY J AW

My renter advises me that one of my
1 1-2 year old steers has a. large hard
lump on his under jaw. What would you
aldvise for treatment?——W. E. H., Chicago,
I . «

This is undoubtedly Actinomycosis
or Lumpy Jaw. If this bunch is con-
fined to the jaw bone I would recom-
mend you have your veterinarian
make an incisidn of the tumor. That
this may be safely and thoroughly
done it is necessary to cast the pati-
ent. It is almost impossible to so
confine a cow in the standing posi-
tion that the necessary steps 1:1 the
treatment can be, satisfactorily and
safely performed. Having cast the
patient,- the veterinarian incises the
tumor near the most dependent part;
using an abscess knife and making
the incision not more than one inch
well into the center of the tumor
and the interior. is then thoroughly

’ curetted; This is a’painful operation

and isfibiest performed under anes-
thetics, when this has been. done a.

I am writing you in; regard to my cow.
My cow 5 right hind uarter is swollen
and caked. This cow 3 four years old
and never was sick before. . I live on a
small place and pasture her by tying ‘
along the road with a long hay rope. '
She had ‘good'grass. When she would get
enough she Would lie down on the ground.
My work being away from home she was .
put outearly in the morning and ”taken , f
in late atonight. A week ago yesterday
when I went to _milk her I found ..this
quarter all swollen and caked, very ,hot
and feverish and gave water instead of " . T ‘
milk from this .one‘quarter. The. first‘two ' “ .-
or three days she did not eat very good. "
I am asking what might be the' trouble
and what is the best thing to do. Might '
she loose that quarter?—-—O.“ N., Mance- : ,.

Your coW‘ has
acute manifestations of this disease _ i
are no doubt pretty .well' passed off ‘ I
and .the’ treatment . probably shOuld
be alongthedines used on a sub- ~
acute case. First give a good cath-
artic consisting of magnesium sul- ‘
pnate two pounds. powderedynux vo-
mica one dram, powdered ~ ginger,
and gentlan oiLeach one ounce, dis- 1 “
solve the entire amount in two '
quarts of hot water, let cool and give
slowly at one dose. Follow this by
giving two ounces of powdered or
granulated potassium nitrate dis-
solved in a little warm water every
four hours. Phytolacca ointment
should be appliedto affected ‘quarter
an rubbed well in morning and
night. It is not rare to meet. with
cases of this disease which are. ex-
ceptionally stubborn and it may be
a. difi‘lcult matter to so conduct the
treatment that the gland may es-
cape permanent impairment of func-
tion. . ’

over from Scotland in 171,6. It is
said to be the one spoken of by Sir
Walter Scott in ‘The Talesman' and
has been religiously preserved as one
of the most valuable relics oi the

'age. It .is about two inches long by,
,.one‘ inch broad, and about a half

inch thick, and is of a chocolate
color. When .applied to the wound it,
adheres till all the poison is ab-‘
sorbed when it drops oil It is then
soaked in warm milk or water tor a
time and‘ when removed the liquid
is found to be 'full of a greenish-

" yellow scum. It is said that of the;

130 cases in which it has been ap-
plied for the bite of 'a mad dog,
none ever suffered from hydrophobia.

' There are said to be three authen-

ticated madstones in the United
States.”' ‘ - . . . ‘_.
Authorities of the University” or

Michigan hold different and prob- -
- ably more modern and reliable views

on the supposed curative preper‘ties
of the madstone. Answering speci-
fically the question submitted above,
Prof. Emerson, of the Pasteur In-
stitute, U. of M., says:

“I am sorry to have to say that the
madstone is of no value whatsoever.

no need have no concern as
far as rabies is concerned. There is
a l impression which I find to
be quite prevalent in rural communi-
ties that if a person is bitten by a
dog that they will develop rabies
if the dog over goes mad at any
time afterwards. This is not true.

The dog cannot transmit the _disease
unless the animal is suffering from

class and (the egg producingm class,
have been told that Plymouth Rock
produce more eggs than Leghorns. ' '
you please tell me where the Plymouth
Rock stands in egg producing ability?
Will this meat breed pro‘duee as- many
eggs as the Leghorns? ‘

I would also like to know ‘how many
years a chicken is profitable as ,‘an egg
producer. How many 6835 will .a‘. pullet
produce? How many eggs will a yearling

reduce? And how many eggs will a; hen

years old produce ?—F.. A1—
bion, Mich.

There is a common classification
of poultry. known as the .
ranean or egg type breeds which in—
eludes the Leghorns, Anconas, Mi-
norcas, etc. The American or gen-
eral purpose breeds which include
the Rocks, Reds and Wyandottes
and the meat breeds or Asiatics, in—
clude Brahmas, 'Cochins, etc. In re-
cent years this classification, how-
ever, has received a new meaning.
At present, Barred Rocks are lead-
ing the Canadian National Laying
Contest at Ottawa and by~the-way
these are (owned by a Michigan
breeder, Mr. H. E. Dennison, of East
Lansing. White Wyandottés are lead-
ing the Storrs, Connecticut' Contest
with Barred Rocks at close second
and White Leghorns are leading Mis-
souri contest. In cooler climates,
the so-called general purpgse breeds
have the edge on production, where-
as, in a warmer climate, ‘the Leg-
horns make an excellent showing. If
the bl'oody .character can be elimiv
nated from our heavier breeds they
would have no difllculty in setting
the pace of the so- called egg breeds.
After all it‘ is a matter of strain,
rather than breeds, there being high
and low productive strains in all re-
cognized breeds It is of interest to
note that our- heaviest producing
Rocks have a dih‘erent conformation
than the low producers. This shows
that production has a tendency to
alter the type of your bird showing
how impossible it is for the fowl to
produce both a, maximum amount

he meat producin

   
 
 

of eggs and meat in the one indi-
vidual. - ' .
It is rather hard to state how

long it is profitable to keep hens
because the individual breeds vary
so greatly. However, two years is

long enough. The better commer—
cial flocks average 150 eggs at year
in the pullet year with a decreaSe
of three dozen eggs each year there-
after. ——E. C. Foreman, Associate
Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M.

INCUBATING GEESE EGGS
Can geese eggs be successfully incubat-
ed?—— J. M. Kendall, Mich.- 1

While geese eggs can be success”-
fully incubated it is not a common
practice The point of paramount
importance is the moisture control.
It requires an abundance of mois-
ture for the successful incubation of
geese eggs. The incubatOr should

will have a plump comb of a bright

laying will have her pelvic bones con-
siderably contracted and the dis—
tance between the bones of the. pel-
vic arch and the lower end of the
keel will be materially reduced. She
should be an early candidate for the

The heavy layer will show no
signs of moulting at this season, a—
though she may have been producing
since last fall, but will stick to busi-
ness until late fall, sometimes round-
ing out‘a full year of continuous egg
production. This year-round laying
not only means more eggs, but also
that a higher price is received for
them as a large proportion of them
are laid in winter, late summer and
fall when prices are up. The early
moulter lays most of her eggs dur—
ing the flush season. The hen that
can keep up productidn under 7the
comparatively unfavorable condi—
tions that obtain outside rof the

patural breeding season has out—

standing vigor and stamina.

   

_ on more 7,111: the improvement of
the Book from year to year that is
made possible by the selection of
birds having the combination of pro—
lificacy and vigor. A convincing
demonstration. of the improvement
that may be obtained in] this way
was made at the United States Ex-
periment Farm, Beltsville, Mary-
land in recent investigations. The
late mo-uIters,aselected from a flock
of 100 Rhode Island Reds in the
fall of. 1920, laid several more eggs
per bird during their second year
than the original flock as pullets.
They were used as breeders the fol-

. 10wing spring, and the first Red pill-

lots to begin laying in the fall of
1921 were found to be the offspring
of these late-moulting hens. Their
pullets, in a period of seven months,
have already averaged about two
dozen eggs per bird more than the
original flock. The value of their
product would be about $1.04 per
bird more than the value of the eggs
from the original flock during the
same time. ‘It is probable that this
large margin will be increased even
more in the next five months. In the
original flock the bulk of the .pro-
duction was in March and April.
The Wise poultryman Will lose no
time in culling out these poor pro—
ducers of cheap eggs. He will start
this summer building the founda-
~ tion for a flock of long—distance lay-
ers. The birds can be selected now
and next spring, after a short rest
in the winter, their eggs will pro-
duce a high percentage of strong,
healthy chicks that are almost cer-
tain to make better records in flock
production. If good sires are select-
ed the improvement will be sur-
prisingly rapid. —

DETECTOR RESULTS
N the last issue there was described

a vacuum tube detector and how .

to make it, 'and in describing
this detector and results obtainable
it was necessary to make one just
as described and test it out. This
was done rig-ht here in Elberta,
Mich., and the results obtained are
actual results. 3

n describing the different parts of
a. receiving set and how to make
them, we are first making them and
then describing them, and if instruc—
tionsz 3 followed clo'sely and your
joints are soldered (except where
they fit under screws) and the aerial
is properly insulated (that is pro-
perly protected from electrical leak-
age) and your ground connection is
goon you will get the same results
and maybe better. Be patient and
do not expect too much until you
have learned how to operate your
particular set.

To get the best results with evac-
uum tube detector it is necessary to
use a regenerative tuning set, which
will be the subject of ourrnext arti-
cle, and so‘the results that I ob—
tained must be remembered were
with a regenerative tuningset.

With the detector described, dur—'
ing June the following stations were
heard distinctly using twO sets of
telephones so that two people were
listening: K. Y. W the Westing-
house station at Chicago; KDKA, the
Westinghouse station at Pittsburgh,
Pa. , WCX, the Detroit Free Press;
WWJ, the Detroit-News, also a sta—
tion in Indianapolis and one in Den-
ver,- Colorado, were heard but I did

not understand the call letters.

We have been advising the use

of one or two steps of amplification

to get stations 300 or more miles
away, but here you see that stations
over that distance have been heard
clearly here in Elberta.

But here comes the rub! These
results were only obtained on oer-

:tain nights, and those nights were

nights that followed at least two

days of uniform temperatures, that

is, when we had been having two
days with the thermometer standing
between. 65 end 7 5 degrees signals
were good, but it a hot day came
in between or a much cooler one

’s

3 (B! which we have had plenty this
“June; then. it. use impossibm 191161111".

.E,E,,RBERT FERRIS

 

any wireless telephone or it was very
poor.‘ When a one step amplifier
was used on the poor nights the

telephone came in quite clear, and'

on nights that no sounds could be
heard with a detector alone a two

step amplifier was used and again'

the music came in strong. In the
winter the changeable temperatures
will not cause so much trouble, but
my experience has shown that for
»uniform1y good results a. two step
amplifier is necessary.

NOTES

The State Police of Michigan are
securing some wireless sets from the
Signal Corps of the army. We may
svon be listening in to news about
prospective raids on booti-‘ggers'

' 1|: t :0:

Why should we stop with “list-
ening in” to wireless telephone, why
not be thinking about a wireless
sending set so that we ‘can talk or
telegraph to our neighbors many
miles away. A sending set for
wireless telegraph is cheap compared
to one for wireless telephony.

* * 1.:

Talking with “mush" in your
mouth is not considered polite, but
_When you first tune in your set it
sounds very much as if all the sing—
ers had been eating mush for sup—
per and still were eating it while
they sing. Music from instruments
does not sound this way, and the
“‘distortion” of received signals is
not so noticeable but until you have
learned to tune your set you may
wonder if English is spoken or some
foreign language.

III # It

Storage batteries used for detec-
tor sets must be kept fully charged
at all times, as it is rather dis-
appointing to have the signals fade
away because your battery'is‘ ‘going
dead” on you. This usualy happens
when you least want it to.

The time that a receiving 'set

never works is just when you call

The
rail strike has reached proportions
far greater than anyone imagined
it could in so short a time and as

, the Business Farmer goes to press

the horizon is ominous with signs
of a complete tie-up.

The average citizen is very” much
at sea as to the causes of these two
strikes. In the majority of cases the
blame is laid at the door of the
.striker without any investigation of
the root of the trouble. The em-
ployers tell one story and the em-
ployees another and the public does
not know which one to believe. The
employers give out of the idea that
railway men and miners are still
receiving wages far in excess of what
is paid in other industries, while
the strikers aver that their wages
are far below the prevailing level
and also below what it is possible
to live on.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers which is in sympathy with
the striking element but which will
respect to contracts they have with
the railroads and remain on duty,
declare in a recent statement that
the decision of the U. S. Railroad
Labor Board which the strikers have
refused to accept would reduce the
wages of 100,000 railway men to
23 cents an hour, and the statement
adds: - ,. '

“The employees whom the Labor
Board has condemned to work for
23 cents an hour or $1.84 a day
are entrusted with the responsibility
of making safe for public travel the
tracks, roadbeds and rights of way
of the carriers. The present wage
slash is not only driving them be—
low the level of any possible decent
human existence, but is also setting‘
a basic scale for the pay of un-
skilled workers so low that it will
pull after it the already-insufficient
wages of the more skilled employees,
whose compensation is reckoned up-
on the basic unskilled rate.”

If the decision of the board actual- -

ly means the paying of 23 cents an
hour to men who have families to
support, it is hard to believe that
the great American public or the
government will refuse their sym-
pathy and aid to the cause of the

l V , "strikers.

Excepting for the disturbing ele—
ments described above business con-
tinues slowly on the upgrade, and
unemployment is rapidly dwindling.
An early settlement of the strikes
would insure a period of substantial
prosperity throughout the fall and
winter. With a continuance of the
strikes, however, it is hard to pre—
dict what may happen within the

agricultural side

' next sixty days. .

WHEAT '

Wheat is easier after a week of
considerable strength. Fear that
the rail strike would cut off supplies
from the southwest and. prevent
dealers frm filling their contracts
caused them to do some fairly ac-
tive bidding the last of the week
which was reflected in a. firmer feel-
ing. But belief that the strike is
near a settlement, .reports of
threshing progress anti a ‘temporary
slackening of buying for European
account has put the market down a
little. At the same time the black
stem rust is causing no end of havoc
in the northwest, and along the
Canadian border line come stories
of the damage it has wrought.

A particularly bearish factor at
this time is the eagernessof farm-

_ ers to sell their grain from the ma-

chine, and if the railways can trans—
port the grain as fast as it is offered
for sale, it is believed that terminal
points will soon be congested which
will mean a much easier market.
Agricultural statistics are very
bullish. The Department of Com-
mercefs report on the European sit-
uatin shows that Europe will re-
quire more grain than last year. Mr.
Foster, the M. B. F’s weather fore—
caster, who also occasionally takes
a fling at market forecasting, is
quite free with a prediction that
wheat will go to ‘52 before the first
of the year. He bases his opinion

1

upon the-agrees drought in Europe
whichhe predicted some time ago.

If the farmers rush their wheat
to market as soon as harvested we

. may, of course, expect lower price;

and were the European situation dif-
ferent we would havelno hesitancy in
predicting 75 cent'wheat. We think
Mr Foster has his figures high, and
his date for the high mark set a lit-
tle early. The writer does not ex—
pect to see $2, wheat before next

», March or April if at all. "But he does

expect to see much higher values by
the first of the year if general busi-
ness conditions do not get any werse.

, The cat crop is in a very much het- '
ter condition than a year ago. but
the total anticipated yield will be
small in comparison with previous
years. Thefmarket is easy and .the
prices not attractive.‘ In‘ the" con:
tinued absence of an active export
demand a more active market is not
in sight. We can conceive of no set '
of circumstances which wOuld send
oats to better their; the '50 cent mark
and we believe prices on the new!
crop will rule somewhat below that
figure.

' RYE -

July 18.———A quiet tone has ruled
in the rye market the greater part ,
of the time during the past two
weeks and as a result prices are
loWer at nearly all points. Receipts
are small but sufficient to take care
of the demand. No sale reports

’ BEAN

The bean market is weaker and
prices have taken a slight drop. This
is probably due to two things. One
of them-is a falling on? in" consump-

tion as a result of the highlprices .-

and warm weather, and ”the other
is the bearish influence ‘of-the-big
acreage and line condition of the
new crop. There will be very little
doing in the bean market for the
next sixty days as practically the ,
whole of last year’s crop hasxbeen'
sold and consumed. But we imagine
that within a week or two of thresh-
ing advance quotations, based upon
many dil‘ferentguessesj as to what
the opening priCe .will be may cause
wide fluctuations in the market for
some time. It is too early to van-o ‘.
ture an opiniou as to what the open-i
ing price will' be. It is quite safe to
say that it will not be as high as the
present market price, nor will it be
as low as the opening price a year
ago. Thepromise is for a very large '
crop, but at that ‘ crap will not
be equal to the t. and: ,
