Production lore- casts announced Sept. 8th by the de- partment of agriculture indicate this year’s important crops will aggregate approximately $6,600,000.000, calcu- lating their value at September 1 farm prices. Three crops—corn, cotton and hay——will exceed a bil- lion dollars each in value, their ag— gregate comprising more than one- half of the value or all the important crops. Present indications are that prac- tically all of this year’s crops will be worth more than last year, with the exception of wheat, rye and pea- nuts. Corn will be worth approxi— mately $496,000,000 more, cotton, $389,000,000; oats, $83,000,000; apples, $64,000,000; hay (tame) $47,000,000 and peaches $36,000,- 000. This year’s indicated crops will have a value, calculated unofficially and based on September 1 farm prices. as follows: VVlwat. $720,600,000; corn, $1,- 801,900,000; oats, $404,100,000; \barley, $88,500,000; buckwheat, $11,600,000; rye, tatoes, $385,400,000 ; sweet potatoes, $116,200,000; hay (tame) $1,037,- 600,000; hay (wild) $122,600,000; cotton (exclusive of seed) $1,064,- 400,000;‘ apples, $227,200,000; peaches, $88,100,000; peanuts, $30,- 400,000; flax seed, $22,100,000 and beans, $49,600,000. AN ECHO OF THE 1918 WOOL DEAL EMURRERS filed by Messrs. Brown & Adams and R. E. Smith, wool dealers of Boston, denying the right or the United States government to collect excess profits on the 1918 wool clip have been overruled by Judge Morton of the United States District Court at Boston. This is the third victory of the government establishing the vali- dity of the 1918 wool regulations. The proceedings instituted against the firm of Brown & Adams involves the collection of nearly $300,000 and the case against R. E. Smith involves the sum of $32,000.'

Finan- . eial interests as a rule fight shy of» any discussion ' of the subject for fear of offending their numer- ' one customers engaged in the expensive process of. distribution. It is unusual, significant and en- couraging to find a great trust company comment- in: sofrankly upon a subject which is a major A ‘ mob-13m for the farmer and certainly an import- ant one for the consumer. . - . Formerly little interest was shown by the people. of the city in this problem, ‘but now, says :1 the Girard Company, “the whole country has be- ‘ ,comea'rOuse‘d over this complex question of mar- The most vemng eco- .nomic problem of today is not how to produce .‘more or how to produce at less cost, but how to get "what is produced to the man who needs it, for has money. if :_“The farmer scarcely receives as much for his iwheat which goes into a ten cent loaf of bread iron the consumer pays simply to get the loaf brought to him after it has left the oven of the f big central bakery.” .

After all merch- "ants and small Shop keeps are very necessary ‘ component, parts of any community and they have :5 to make a living like other people. -_ Ajstart to cheapen distribution has been made . in many directions.’ in: of chain stores. ., It is obvious that 500 grocery stores in one city _ under, one management which can buy in whole- ; 388.16 quantities 'and distribute systematically can 3 shave down the local charge for getting groceries ~; from.'the stores to individual kitchens. Sothe chain stores as applied to groceries, candy, tobacco and drugs has become a popular trade "development in this country. ,. IThe five and ten cent store is a branch of the Kasame'tree and occupies an important place in our “ .mercantile system. " 'But the farmers are doing most along the line “of more scientific marketing and it must be said , also that the farmers as a class had farthest to > go in that direction. .As pointed out in\ the April number of the : Girard Letter, the'farmer, as a producer, ‘ far ex- cels the farmer as a. seller. But there are signs " that he is becoming aroused and is taking hold _. of- the selling end of agriculture in various parts ’ of the country. ,Bere is an example. A community of Pennsyl— vania farmers along the West Branch of the Sus- :.,Quehanna River had been for some years Ship- ‘ ”8- their milk to Brooklyn. Recently the Brochlyn company refused to pay as much as 3 17% " ,er standard milk and so the farmers built may at Hilton. file a Monorative affair entirely. The milk to the creamery and is sold from there mistrial shape of milk if possible. What be sold in liquid form is converted , cheese or condensed milk. We see it in the populariz- -Organizations IF “all dis world .am sad and dreary,” and you have lost faith in the power of co—operafion to solve farmers’ prob- lems, read this article. It’s one of the best contributions on the subject of co-opera- tion we’ve read for some time. These are trying times, farmers are discouraged; they can’t see any good in co-operation. Some of them even blame the co-operative movement for their troubles, but, of course, they’re wrong. Don’t let the co- operative movement die; don’t let it sufl’- er; stay by it. It will win out. in the long rum—Editor. :r plans in selling farm produce and collective buy- ing of what farmers require for their home needs. . t it Pennsylvania farmers: however. are still away behind the agriculturists of the Northwest in this new marketing game. ' Of Minnesota’s 800 creameries, 600 are now co~operative, that is too say creameries owned and operated by the farmers themselves. Moreover, the farmer who once railed at trusts now sees the sense of economy in unity of'eflort and consoli— dation of business. Those 600 Minnesota farmer-owned creameries have been organized into one big association. A soap—box orator would surely call it a creamery trust. Anyhow, Minnesota farmers are proud of what they have done and they boast more co—operative creameries in that state than in all the other 47 states of the Union combined. This wholesale method of doing things on the farm set the city people in Minneapolis ,and St. Paul thinking. ‘ “Why,” they asked, milk wholesale?” The sequel to that query is :1. Milk Consumers Association. It buys milk wholesale from the farmers association, and is able to sell it to city consumers for about 9% cents a quart. That “should we not buy our BARUCH ADVISES FARM BLOC ON RURAL FINANCES HE most important business before Congress today is to enact legislation that will put the farmers on a acredit equality with other lines of business. It makes little difference what particular rural credit bill you enact to bring that about. Amend it later if need be but enact some credit measure at once that will rescue this fundamental industry before it is too late.” That is the way Bernard M. Baruch concluded, his conference last Friday with the finance com— mittee of the Senate farm bloc, which was attend- ed also by a number of other senators. Mr. Baruch was invited to give its members his views regarding rural credits in general, ticular regarding the Simmons, Norbeck, Capper and Lenroot bills on that subject. All four of the bills aim at giving agriculture or live stock raising or both access to short time investment funds through the issue of short time notes or debentures with some sort of sanction by the Federal government. The Lenroot bill is supposed to follow the general lines of the recommendation of the Joint Commission on Agricultural Inquiry and provides that the Fed- eral Land Banks shall create commodity loan de- partments and issue short time debentures to fi-. nance its loans. It would appropriate a million dollars for each of the twelve land banks. The Norbeck bill would create a. special government corporation with a capital of $200,000,000 to‘ take over the War Finance Corporation. The SimmOns Bivll would create a similar corporation with a capital of $500, 000, 000" and the Capper bill would establish livestock loan corporations and in par-I allows for the dividend declared by the Milk Con- sumers’ Association, because it was able to earn a go'od profit on milk at ten cents. What also does the consumer get out of this dual milk trust affair? The farmers insist that the quality of their milk has gone up and that Minneapolis gets its milk at the lowest “spread” ——which is the difference between the price paid to the farmer and the price paid by'the consumer ——of any big city in America. It is a curious fact that the Milk Consumers‘ Association which works so harmoniously with the Milk Producers’ Association was the outcome of a labor union strike. The milk—wagon drivers did it and they are now the very hardest workers in their effort to market the milk of Minnesota at the lowest possible cost. A great merit of the plan of reducing the sell— ing price of milk to consumers in Minnesota has been a decided increase in the quantity of milk used. That is counted by farmers a great gain. The official figures show that in eight months, the sale of Minnesota milk in the Twin Cities, due to a decreased price, had risen 60 per cent. indeed, the farmers have considered an extensive advertising campaign to further still more the consumption of milk. it t i Nowhere else has co—operative selling by pro- ducers gone farther than in California. You cannot read any popular magazine today without noticing the advertisements of “Sun- Kissed” or “Sun-Maid” fruits. ‘ Raisin growers, orange growers, walnut grow— ers, lemon, grape fruit and other orchardists are all combined for purposes of salesmanship. They know when it is best, to sell and how. Their pro— ducts are marketed in bulk and not by indivi- duals. Those California fruit and by advertisements popuarizod their products and vastly increased their consumption. But they have done most by combining to soil economically what they have produced. The Fruit G-rowors’ Exchange is almost as much of an institution in California. as the Cotton Exchange is in New Orleans. - O 3k t nut growers have There still remains a great new field to be cul— tivated before we reach a saner state in the mat— ter of city distribution. Some time in the not remote future you will not see forty different delivery wagons visit a city block in one day, any more than you now see forty different vehicles hauling mail to yourself and your neighbors. Half a dozen rival bread wagons, as many com- peting milk wagons, coal wagons, laundry wagons and ice wagons, many of them working at less than capacity, will not pass your door each morn- ing as they likely do today. The great economic boon which came from railway consolidation was the elimination of du- plicate service—covering the same ground two or three times when once is sufficient. On the original small scale America would now need 10,000 iron and steel mills to supply our demands. What a fearful price the consumer would pay for his' steel if we had that vast num- ber of competing little mills doing the work now accomplished by a hundred big ones! In the matter of production there has been, outside of agriculture, a swift tendency toward bulk in order to obtain economies. But \in the matter of city distribution we are largely today in the primitive state of our great _ grandfathers except in this—~they usually carried home their purchases whereas we now expect ten or a dozen different delivery wagons to fetch them to us. Our ancestors knew neither the luxury nor the heavy tax entailed when a spool of thread is car- ried ten miles in a $4,000 delivery truck and placed in the purchaser’s hand and probably sent back next day by a similar vehicle and exchanged gratis for another spool of thread. Cash and carry home is one of the wholesome ,ways for consumer-s to reduce their cost of living. ..

Although additional room-had been provided for what appeared ‘would be a normal increase in exhibits, even these facilities were taxed to the ut— most and necessitated the use of every available foot of space. It was generally predicted that last year’s exhibit of livestock, had about reach- ed the limit, both’ in quantity and quality, but there was an increase in nearly every class of this department this year. Plans that, were drawn a few months ago for a new sheep and swine barn must, be revised and en— largcd providing the number of ani— mals shown this year is any criterion 'of what may be expected in future years. As fairs go there is of necessity considerable similar‘ty between one year's exposition and anothcr’s. But this year‘s state fair attracted sev— eral remarkable exhibits which had never been shown in bilichig‘an before. Chief among these was the Henry Ford exhibit showing the “evolution of agriculture." from the. stage when much of the farm work was done by hand or with the crudest sort of im- plements up through the various de— velopments in farm machinery to the efficient. and labor—savii‘g devises of the present age. The Ford exhibit. ccupied several acres of ground and was without doubt the Drew Fair ’3 Largest Crowd the new discoveries which a visit to this tent and that revealed in the uses to which a tractor can be‘ put. Another exhibit in the Ford show- ing was that of a locomotive which Henry Ford, acquired with his pur- chase of the Detroit, Toledo & Iron- ton road. This locomotive was re- built in the Ford shops at River Rouge and is supposed to be quite the latest in modern locomotives. Visitors were permitted to mount the cab and examine the highly polished mechanism of the giant engine. Coliseum Wonderful Building The Coliseum which was built this year at arcost of about a quarter of a million dollars was thrown open to the public on Labor day. The struct— ure has seating capacity for RiOOO people. In the center of the building is a great oval arena which served as the judging stand for the cattle and horses. The annual live-stock parade which was formerly conducted before the grandstand was put on this year Lnside the Coliseum and was witnessed by about 5,000 people. Never has the Fair been able to show its live-stock exhibits to such good advantage and the importance of live—stock .in the state’s agricult— ure seemed to take on a new signifi—. cance as the hundreds of prize beaut- ies, were led in single line of march around the arena. The State Fair Coliseum is one of the finest buildings of its kind in the United States and is certainly a great credit to both the institution and to the state. It is expected that it will be used for all kinds of large gatherings and made entirely. ,self- supporting. Dairy Exhibits Excel One of the cleverest pieces of sculptoring ever showu. on the Fair grounds was a life-size reproduction of a boy pushing a wheel—barrow, bearing a pumpkin, the entire set done in butter by Sculptor Wallace of LinColn, Neb. Last year Mr. Wal— lace’s contribution was a life—sized figure of a Jersey cow and milking maid. The cheese exhibit contained 63 specimens of American, Swiss and Italian cheeses, the majority of the offerings being from farm—owned cheese factories in the lower and, up-- per peninsulas. The M. A. C. exhibit- ed one cheese which alone weighed 100 pounds. Horseshoe Contest Farmer devotees of horseshoe pitching will be very much chagrined to hear that the Business Farmer cup was won by a city “feller,” Mr. L. M. Wilks of Battle Creek. But inasmuch as Mr. Wilks will have to defend his title for three years in succession there is plentv of oppor- tunity for the. cup to be wrested from his hands. The State Fair tourna— ment was the first state championship meet to be held in Michigan and was “participated in by pitchers from all over Michigan, most of whom were winners in the county farm bureau tournaments. A total of 32, most of them farmers, pitched in the prelim- inary games. Owing to the lack of facilities on the grounds, it was nec— essary to hold the tournament on the inside race track which excluded the croWd. Next year, it is announced by the management, a portion of the grounds will be set aside for “1°C horseshoe tournament.’ » In the finals, Wilks won 19 games and lost one, and Akers duplicated ' 'the feat, Wilks winning easily, how— _ ever, in the play- off between the tWo. ‘ ‘ In one game Wilks threw 20 ringers. ; Other prize winners in the horse- shoe contest were, G. W. 'Akers, Williamston; son; T. L. Richmond, Detroit; John Howe, Flint; B. D. Tuttle, Walled I e“'e' Virgil Newman,‘Leslie; H. L. Opdyke, Royal Oak. Others who toox part were: Barney Kortrite, Pontiac; Ben Siel, Watervliet; Walti- er Marion, North Branch; Mr. Mar-~ tin, Midland; Ira Knight, Midland; _ Reuben Lee, Lowelfl; Royal Ames, Pontiac; W.

Lowering, Jenison; Ed. Prindle, Redford. Governor Opens Fair \ The ‘State Fair was officially open- - ed by Gov. A. J. Groesbeck who com- plimented the managements highly upon the excellent exposition and voiced his desire and intention as governor to help make the Michigan State Fair the “greatest in the world”. He promised his support to replace the old frame structures on the grounds. as time and money per— mitted with modern buildings, and expressed his belief that principal feature of the Fair in point of hoth in— terest and education. Entrance to the Ford exhibit [was through a higharched ' portico ‘HI 1 passage-way, the walls of which were flankvd with paintings done by men emploved it the Ford plant, and depict- ing men and women at work in the fields as in the days ofm lone: ago when the plough was pulled by oxen and cul— tivation was done with the hoe, and when grain was cut with a flail. Henry Ford and Geo. W. Dickinson. the Fair man— ager, threshed out a few grains to show the crowd just how it. used to be done. Chief interest centered about the collection of antique farm imple— ments which was said to be the most complete and valuable collection of its kind in existence. This exhibit contained more than a score of old— fashioned plows, drags, binders, etc. The oldest relic in the group was a mould—board plow built in 1770, and of the type which Geo. Washington undoubtedly used on his Mount Vern— on plantation. Other relics included a tread-mill for churning operated by a dog or a horse—driven tread—mill which was used fifty or seventy—five years ago 011 some farms to create power for divers forms of farm work. Another interesting display showed the development of the Ford Motor and automobile, including the first machine which Henry Ford ever built that actually ran under its own pow— er. It is a curious-looking vehicle compared with the modern automo— bile and carries its “one~lung” motor at the rear. Other automobiles were shown which revealed the gradual de- velopment of the Ford machine. In connection with this exhibit was the six millionth motor made by the Ford people. Up to Sept. 2nd, 6,4,79,739 motors had been turned out by this concern Scattered about the Ford exhi bit were several scores of trucks and tractors performing almost every conceivable kind of labor andva good deal which the average man would never conceive as possible for such machines to perform.

Other speakers at the Fair included Pres. Burton of the U. of M. and Pres. Friday of the M. A. C. In his usual eloquent and convincing style Mr. Burton pleaded for America to forget her “splendid isolation” policy and take her position as a leader in the affairs of the world. 'Dr. Friday showed why he didn’t think prices of farm products would be any higher for a long time to come and expressed his doubt that the middle-' man was to blame.for the farmers? poor returns and the consumers’ high prices, which statement precipitated an argument with a farmer in. the crowd and enlivened the proceedings somewhat. 'Macomb Girl Wins Milking Contest The milking contest which ”is al- ways a source of interest and amuse- ment Was won by Miss Henrietta Rinke, daughter of Farmer John Rinke, well—known Holstein .breeder living near Mount Clemens. Henriet- ta’s sister, Matilda, who is only elevi f en years old, won the third 'prize. 5 Miss Henrietta obtained 15. 3 lbs. milk in 7. 5 minutes. x The 1922 fair was the second it be conducted under state owner ship.

Now and then a struc- ture of logs added an appearanCe of solidity to the whole. The girl did not look too closely. She knew that they passed places in which there were long rows of cots, and that others were devoted to trade. She noticed signs which advertised soft drinks and cigars—always "soft drinks," which sometimes come into camp marked as "dynamite,” “salt pork" and “flour.” She was cons— cious that every one stared at them as they passed. She heard clearly the expressions of wonder and curio- sity of two women and a girl who were spreading out blankets in front of a rooming~tent. She' looked. at the man at her side. She appreciat- ed his courtesy in not attempting to force an acquaintanceship. In her eyes was a. ripple of amusement. "This is all strange and new to me—and not at all uninteresting," she said. “I came expecting—every— thing. And I am finding it. Why do they stare at me so? Am I a curiosity?” “You are,” he answered bluntly. “You are the most beautiful women they have ever seen.” His eyes encountered hers as he spoke. He had answered her ques- tion fairly. There was nothing that was audacious in his manner or his look. She had asked for informa- tion, and he had given it. In spite of herself the girl’s lips trembled. Her color deepened. She smiled. “Pardon me,” she entreated. seldom feel like laughing, but I al- most do now. I have encountered so many curious people and have heard so many curious things during the past twenty—four hours. You don’t believe in concealing your thoughts out here in the wilderness, do you?” “I haven’t expressed my thoughts," he corrected. “I was telling you what they. think.” ' “Oh—h-h———I beg again!” * your pardon “Not at all,” he answered lightly, and now his eyes were laughing frankly into her own. “I don’t mipd informing you,” he went on, “that I am the biggest curiosity you will meet between this side of the moun- tains and the sea.

But I cannot—not satisfactorily. I’m really s bit dis- gusted with myself for having taken as much interest in you as I have. I write books for a’livlng. My name is John Aldous.” . With a. little cry of amazement, his companion stopped. Without knowing it, her hand had gripped his arm. , "You are John Aldous—who wrote ‘Fair Play,’ and ‘Women!’ s'he gasped. "Yes," he said, amusement in his face. "I have read those books-4nd I have read your plays," she breathed, a mysterious tremble in her voice. “You despise women!" “Devoutly.” She drew a deep breath. hand dropped from his arm. “This is very, very funny," she mused, gazing off to the sun—capped peaks of the mountains. ”You have flayed women alive. You have made them want to mob you. And yet ” “Millions of them read my books," he chuckled. - , - “Yes—all of them read your books,” she replied, looking straight into his face. “And I guess—in many Her ways—you 'have pointed out things- that are true." It was his turn to show surprise; "You believe that?" “I do. More than that—I have always thought that I knew your so- cret—the big, hidden thing under your work, the thing which you do not rcyeal because you know the world would laugh at you. And so -———you despise me!” “Not you." “I am a woman.” He laughed. The tan in his cheeks burned a deeper red. ”We are wasting time,” he warned her. “In Bill’s place I heard you say you were going to leave on the Tete Jaune train. I am going to take you to a real dinner. And now—I should let those good people know your name.” ’ A moment—unflinching and steady —-—she looked into his face. “It is Joanne, the name you have made famous as the dreadfulest wo~ man in fiction.

Wherever this ro- V tation is practicable it is the basis of the most successful farming. ,There is a reason for each crop and ‘ for its place. in the rotation. The plan is scientifically correct and- may be made the foundation of profitable agriculture through generations. Corn usually makes a first-class crop on good clover sod. Probably there is no better seed- bed for oats, than-good corn land. 0n fall-plowed corn land of about medium fertility, oats yield excel- lently both as to quantity and qual- ,,..-ity. The rotation followed up to this point prepares the land perfectly for. winter wheat and the last crop in the rotation—cloverfirarely fails where seeded with the wheat. Clover- is really the key crop. When it suc- ceeds, the other, crops are almost bound to do well. Thus the wheat crop is valuable to the entire rota- tion because of its direct bearing upon the clover crop. It has been demonstrated repeat- edly that in order to obtain the full- est benefits from fertilizers, a cor- rect and suitable rotation is neces— sary. It is common experience that on good soil, manure gives best re- sults when applied to corn. On poor- er soil, it may be advisable to save some manure, if possible, for the wheat or clover. On wheat, 21 high- analysis fertilizer is profitable not alone because of the increased yields of wheat, but also because of its ex- cellent residual effect on the follow- ing crop. SWEET CLOVER WITH OATS Will biennial sweet clover sown with oats in the spring furnish much pasture the following year?—_—-M. J., Pigeon, Mich. Sweet clover makes an excellent pasture crop the second year. In a test conducted at the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station the past season, sweet clover pasture carried, an average of one cow per acre and the cows on sweet clover pasture produced as much milk on the same grain ration and without insilage as cows on June grass pas- ture receiving grain and insilage. Cattle should be turned on sweet clover early in the season and before the plants have made a coarse growth. Some cows refuse to eat sweet clover fora day or so but when they receive no other rough- age for a day or two, they soon be- come accustomed to the taste and no further difficulty is experienced. Some of the cows in the test con— ducted here the past season ate the sweet clover from the start. 1 In order to secure a high yield of sweet clover the seed bed should be well firmed, the seed inoculated 'and the soil should contain plenty of lime.-—C. R. Megee, Associate in Farm Crops, M. A. C. \ SOWING SUDAN GRASS AND SOY BEANS Would you please tell me if I can broadcast soy beans and Sudan guess for hay? What" time should it be cut?—W, K., Omer, Mich. Sudan grass and soy beans are sometimes sown together and the mixture used for hay. Experiments indicate that there is not usually much increase in the feeding value of the hay. The following table shows the proportions of protein and ash in Sudan grass when grown alone and when grown with legumes. This test was conducted by the Office of For- age Crops Investigations, U. S. D. A. Sudan grass (alone) 6.63 per cent protein, 7.46 per cent ash; Sudan grass with soy beans, 7.30 per cent protein, 10.46 per cent ash; Sudan grass and cowpeas, 6.40 per cent protein, 8.6 per cent ash. The above table would indicate that there was not a very large dif- ference in the feeding value in the mixture and the Sudan grass alone. When sowing Sudan grass and soy beans together would suggest using 12 pounds of Sudan grass and from 40 to 60 pounds of soy beans per acre. This mixture could probably be sown to the best advantage by broadcasting. grass seed and the soy been thoroughly mixed in the drill General experience indicates th is usually more practical to grip the two crops separately. Sudan grass should be cut to just as it starts to head out," soy beans should be cut for .. when the seed are well formed the pod and before the lower leafs. turn yellow and drop 61!. The grass is likely to reach this ‘ ‘ before the soy buns—G. R; Megee Associate in Farm Crops, M.:A.Q;1:_.

When chess comes up in a field of wheat, ‘ the seed was either in the groundlet or was planted with the wheat often do not injure which gives rise to the idea. wheat will turn to chess.

WELLS ' 12 THE OUTLOOK FOR ORCHARDS 8HOULD we plant or should we not’ This is the question many ‘ are now asking. ‘ The advance in nursery sfock dur- ing recent years has caused many to hesitate about planting and has ‘ for the responsible When orchard area. been largely diminishing peach trees could be bought for 10 x cents or less each and other fruits in proportion, the outlay—for nuts- ery stock was a small matter. If they lived the outlay was small and if they died the loss was not grant. ‘ ,’ Now it is different. The cost of , ' starting an orchard is something to -. 9 make the most enthusiastic feel doubtful. Now should we plant? Well, the - old trees are fast dying. The popu- lation is on the increase. More fruit . is eaten per capita than ever before. Whence will come the supply? ., To be sure the area of new orch- ards is on the increase, but not rap- idly enough. This is true especially 'Sf peaches. They do not live long usually and are fast weakening. Soon there will be a shortage, unless present indications are much out fault. The outlook for ‘the apple is somewhat better. A limited number of orchards are being planted eVen with high-priced stock. But then, again, the demand promises to keep ahead of the supply for some time to come. To be sure there are 10- calities in which apples are a._.drag, ' but that is chiefly'due to imperfect facilities for transportation. .. Plums and cherries are being'eet more in proportion to the demand for the fruit than are the peach or apple. general ' There is more dam. ger of a. surplus of these fruits than ' I ’ i ' of the others. All things considered, select “their and care for the trees properly. these factors were never so gmpmi ant as now.

It net 3. large orchard containing ”at 70 hearing trees, but is 5' ortby or notice as being the only -" apricot orchard we have thus far — n able to locate in this state. The trees are of half a dozen dif- intent varieties and are from three 1'. Ito tWenty years old. In the begin- “rang the owuer had little to guide him in his selection of suitable vari- ‘ 7‘ Nodes, so has tried many kinds and is ” ‘ still looking for more. Nearly every J year a few trees are planted. Last spring more than 60 trees were set, which should more than double the production of fruit within a few years. .‘ Mi'. La Male has faith in the ap- ricot, “There is no reason,’ ’he says, “Why it should not have a place almling Michigan fruits. The first varieties begin to ripen about the tenth of July, which is loug enough beforethe peach to make sure of a. market. But it is no trouble to sell our home growu fruit when the quality is known. It is not and will not be a substitute for the peach, but will always have a. place for itself. ” ». 1 For the benefit of those who are " 7 ' ' interested in the fruit, Mr. La Male has given us the following points regarding" apricot culture: “A good plum soil is best. The apricot needs more moisture than the peach. ‘ “The culture is similar to that for the peach. The ground in a young orchard should be worked till the middle of July, then a cover crop put in. 3-4 I . “The San Jose scale is not trouble— some and there are no insects that do any serious injury. to the foliage. _ .“There is a leaf rust that some— times affects the trees, but neither that nor any other disease has caused ‘ trouble. lithe tree is much hardier than ‘ the peach. Our tree on the place was planted in 1898 and still shows no ‘ signs of old age. The symmetrical top covers a circle more than 30 feet in diameter. “Apricots will endure neglect. Tree will stand in sod for years and still produce crops. But good care is advised and the trees respond gen- erously. , 1 “The plum cucules is the worst en. emy, but it can be controlled by early and thorough spraying with arsenate of lead.

Contract reserves the right to work on property for mineral any time. Owner has privi- lege of selling at any time by paying for my work and at the end of three years I am to leave 20 acres new eding. Now I want to quit the place thi fall. Can I do so without being liable to owner? I have 15 acres new seeding and have done a lot of repairiwng I have put up a woven Wire fence around the house and garden. Can owner make me leave it as I have it fastened to the line fence or can I take down the fence before my year is up? I have a large quantity of rye, oats and pea straw. Can I sell it before I lealve? The contract doesn’t mention straw and the man renting be- fore me took it off the place when his year was up. Owner has my note for this years rent and owes me $20 for 1a- bor amd board while working on barn built on this place and refuses to pay me. How am I to collect it?—C. County, Mich. If you contracted to work a farm for three years you would have to do the work according to agreement. If you made any agreement about leav- ing the premises by giving notice or fixed. any way for tenminateing the contract you 'may terminate it by ob- serving the terms of the agreement. Or if you agree with the owner upon the terms of your leaving before the time is up, then this agreement will be binding upon your landlord as well as upon you.

CANNOT TAKE DIRT FROM ROAD Can I take dirt from my neighbors side of the road and fill in a ditch on my side of the road if the county highway (ommissioner gives me permission to do it? And if I can’t get permission from the county highway commision who has the authority? What is the legal width of a main highway?—~S. J., Bronson, Mich. Please be advised that the pro- perty owners would not have a right to remove earth from the highway without the consent of the highway commissioner having jurisdiction ov- er the highway in question as the commissioner is under legal obli- gation to keep the road in a reason— ably safe and in condition for pub— lic travel and should be consulted by an abutting property owner be- fore the removal of earth from the highway as the law also gives the right for taking the material from the highway for making improve- ments to the same as set forth in Section 19 of Chapter 2 of the Gen- eral Highway Law. The above statement also answ- ers your second inquiry. You should get permission from the authorities having jurisdiction river the highway in question. The legal width of a highway in this state is four rods, as specified in Sec. 20, of Chap. 1, of the Highway Law. —State High- way Department. PREIARY SCHOOL FUND Please explain the source of state primary school funds, how obtained, etc. -—Miss M., Eaton County, Mich. The language of the first State Constitution is as f6]10ws:“The pro- 'ceeds of all lands that have been or hereafter may be granted by the United States to this State for the support of schools, which shall here- after be sold or disposed of, shall be and remain a penpetual fund, the in— terest of which, together with the rents of all unsold lands, shall be inviolably appropriatetd to the sup- port of schOols throughout the State.” The “perpetual" fund above unen- School fund. Later, in 1850, Cong- gress gave hundreds of acres ,of. swamp land to the state and an act f passed which placed the swamp land 1, . fund upon nearly the same basis-as the primary school fund by malking the net proceeds of sales a fi1nd upon which the State must .pay in- terest to be used for educational punposes only, the difference being that the fund is not a Ipenpetual one fixed by the Constitution, but a statutory one and may be changed by the legislature. The State has thus become the debtor to two funds. First—The Pri- mary School Fund, derived from" the sale of the sixteenth section in each township, upon which the State pays 7% interest annually, more common- 1y known as the Seven Per .-Cent Fund. Second—The ‘Swaimp Land Fund derived from a sale of swamp lands, upon which the State pays 5% interest annually more commonly known as the Five Per Cent Fund. In addition to these two sources of the Primary School Fund, there is a third that amounts to 1more than the two together. The Constitutibn provides that the taxes paid on rail— roads, telegraph, telephone, and ex— press companies, and a few other cor— porations, together with the inheri- tance tax and money received from the interest on escheated estates, shall be used first to may the interest on educational funds—such as the University, Agricultural College, and Nonmal School funds—and after these items have been paid, there is still a balance remaining, it is pro- vided that it shall be added to and constitute a {part of .the primary school interest fund which is distri- buted annually to the several dis- tricts of the State, according to the number of children therein betWeen the ages of five and twenty years, based on the census of the previous yeah—Department of Public Instruc- tion, Lansing, ‘Mich. The one mill tax is obtained by a tax of one (mill on the assessable property of the State. Three-eighths Q of this tax goes to the University of . Michigan, one- fifth to the M. A.

OVVNER’S SHARE OF FARM PRO- CEEDS When a farmer rents a large farm to a renter, the renter to furnish every— thing and give the owner one-third of everything that is sold and one-third of all the increase in stock and the renter sells anything when is the owner's one- third due? Now this man comes on without tools or money and the owner signs with him to get them, can the farmer in any way attach the stuff he has to sell till he makes good to satisfy the signer?_W. H. B., Dansville, Mich. If the lease does not provide any other time for payment of the own- er’s third it will be due upon sale of the ploceeds. The farmer can arrange with the seller of the goods who holds the notes to put a purchase price lien upon such pro- perty as he holds him and take the property to pay the same upon an execution issued upon a judgment for their price—Legal Editor. WIDOW’S PENSION I am 1a widow. My husband had been sick for a year and eight months and is now dead. I am left with four child- ren, the oldest eight years and the youngest 18 months. I have 60 acres of land and a lot of debts, doctor bills and . funeral expenses and so on, and no one to work my farm. Now will you please let me know if I am eligible to a, Wid- ow’s pension and if so, who would be the proper authorities to apply for same?— Reader, Tuscola County, Mich.

GAN‘ COLLECT FOR ANIMALS IN- JURED ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY If the driver of an automobile runs in- to a herd of cattle being driven upon the public highway and injures any of the animals, is he liable. for the cost of the same ?-——Reader. The driver of cattle has the right 'of passage by .his cattle upon the 'highzway as much as the driver of an automobile has the right of passage ‘ by auto. If the driver of the auto negligently or carelessly injured cattle being driven on the highway he would be liable for the damage. But if they were injured without the fault of the driver of the auto but by' reason of their fright ‘or vicious— ness then the driver of the auto would not be liable for the damage. '——Legal Editor. MUST PAY TAX ON AMUSEMENTS Is it compulsary to pay war tax on public dances and if so, why is it not en— forced in every county?-—B. M” Blanch— ard, ‘Mich. The 1921 U. S. Revenue act pro- vides that a tax of 1 cent for each ten cents or fraction thereof of the amount paid for admission to a dance (and certain other places of amusement) shall be paid by the person paying for such admission; but where the amount paid for ad— mission is 10 cents or less no tax shall be imposed. If anyone is con- ‘ductingva dance hall without collect— ing and remitting such tax to the government he is violating the law and should be reported to the In— ternal Revenue office at Detroit. If the proceeds of any such dance or amusement are to- be expended Wholly for charitable and religious purposes they are exempt from the tax.——Editor. CUT-OVER LANDS EXEMZPT FROM TAXATION We purchased 80 acres of cut-over land a year ago, moving on about April 1921. Shortly after I saw some articles in the Farmers’ Service Bureau Depart— ment of your paper, about cut-over land being exempt from taxes. We wait- ed.for the supervisor to come to assess but he never came. I have been told he never does as it is rather out of the way, but guesses at the valuation. I wrote to him about getting exempt and he wrote back that I could not be exempt for 1921 taxes as they were turned in on the roll, but to meet the Board next June and he would see what could be done. Now as there is only a branch line running in (here and I-would have to go out in the afternoon and re- main away two nights, with two small chlldren, leaving only a 16—year-old boy and one 11 years at home to milk and care for things, I would like some in- formatIOn if I really have to meet the. Board; I gathered from the information in the paper all I would have to do, is speak to the supervisor and he would bring it before the board. We put up a lot of fence, cleared about five acres or more and have a bank barn .raised and partly closed in, and some other im— provements done this last summer. Hope to do more each year. I would also like to know If there is a certain amount can be taxed on the valuation of proper- ty or can they put on what they like. This was valued at $450. and my taxes on it were $32.71. I understand other years they were about $14.—~Mrs. E. L., Osrer, Mich; 'Sec. 4192, of the Compiled Laws, prov1des for exemption“- from taxes for 5 years in cut—over lands. It pro- vides that in order to get the ex- emption application shall be made to the supervisor at the time the assess— ment is made to be exempt. The superv1sor shall put the description on the roll in the usual way and re— fer the matter to the board of re- v1ew. If they find all the conditions entitling exemption existing shall write on the roll the proper entry. They. shall enter each year the ex- emptlon and mark the number of the Year that it is exempt. It is not nec- essary to be present, under the law to have a consideration and I think _ the supervisor might and should have submitted to the board of re- v1ew u-p0n your written application.

And ever since men have pined for larger fields of conquest and of service Men’s visions are usually circumscribed by the sky-line which encircles their horizon. Op- portunities for service and success lie by the pathways which all men travel, but they do not see them. Occasionally someone stubs his toe and his eye catches an opportunity by the side of the road, which has lain there unnoticed and untouched for generations. Then other men who have passcd that way Shake their heads and wonder why they too, weren’t born lucky. Thcrc are just as many undiscovered op- portunities today as ever before in the history of the world. That may sound like an. extrav— agant statement in view of man’s magnificent accomplishments up to the present age but When it is remembered that opportunity is largely the result of changing conditions, it will be sccn to be 1ruc. Men who live in small towns and rural com- munities have the notion that opportunity is confined to the larger centers of populations. But it is not so. There are just as many op- portunities in the rural community and upon ihc farm for making money, for achieving dis- tinction, for being a friend to man and for rendering service as there are in the largest city in the world. We do not believe that there is any field of endeavor in the world which offers ’such excel- lent opportunitics in the above respects as in the field of farming. Farming next to hunting is the oldest known vocation. But it is only in the twilight of development. The average man’s ignorance of the possibilities of farming is appalling. The soil is not yet producing to its maximum capacity. The road to the con— sumer is altogether too long. It must be short- .ucd. Existing farm credit machinery is still loo often an instrument of extortion instead of benefit. in short, farming as a business, isn’t much farther advanced than it was a century ago. Talk about the worlds to conquer! They are lying at our very doorstep. Where are the men of vision and unscifishncss to conquer them for humanity ‘2 The League of Nations After Two Years HE Atlantic Monthly publishes an in- I formative article by Raymond Fosdick on the League of Nations after two years of \op— eration. Here are a few striking paragraphs: “To.its enemies in the United States the League of Nations must seem an unconscionabletime a-dying. For more than two years it has tena- of approaching demise. Occasionally indeed its l I ' eSsa person ‘th 311‘” Stateer—‘and preparation bee . high, places to celebrate thanbéeqnies. . than that it shows assurprising vitality. ’In' spite of hard treatment and some neglect it seems to gain in strength and purpose. which it is initiating and guiding, is a. far diff? erent creature from the feeble offspring which the Treaty of Versailles so laboriously brought into the world. For one thing it has more friends. Only a handful of the larger power stood sp‘bnsor for it at its birth. It was! eye with suspicion by the smaller nations." Today theSe smaller nations are its warmest supporters, and fifty—one countries are now enrolled under its 'standar'd, representing more than tour-fifths ' of the world’s population, and nearly three— fourths of its area. the supporters of the League is more easily called than the roll of its membership. Abyssinia, Af- ghanistan, Ecuador, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Mexico, Russia, Turkey and the United States.” The account which Mr. Fosdick gives of what the League has actually accomplished is an inspiring example of co—operating and felicity between the member nations. In no instance had the League sought to bring about peaceful relations between warring nations or nations threatening to war that it has not been Successful, and even its enemies have been forced to admit that there “might be some- thing after all” to the notions that nations can settle their disputes without fighting. Unfortunately, the views of the American people are still very much colored by the prOp- aganda they have read against the League in strong anti-League newspapers and magazines. Many newspapers and politicians still believe that the people voted against the League in 1926. Having, as they thought, fooled the people on the League issue, they must yet to save their face, keep ’em fooled, and that’s what they’re trying to do. It may take an- other presidential election or two to bring the anti-League press to its sense but that will be accomplished all in good season In the meantime, the United States will go. its own sweet way while the rest of the nations sit in harmony together discussing and settling to a remarkable extent some of the world’s great problems. The .Evolution of Agriculture ENRY FORD ’s exhibit at the State Fair, “the evolution of agriculture,” might perhaps have been better termed, the “revolu- tion of agriculture.” The term evolution is associated with slow-moving changes through- out countless centuries, such as the develop- ment. of modern man from the stoop—shoulder- ed ape-visagcd Neanderthal of a half million years or so ago. But while man’s stature and intellect changed very slowly there was an al- most immeasureable space of time when the implements with Which he tilled the soil chang- cd not at all. It took him several million years to bring forth the crudest kind of a wooden plow; but the steel plow is a product of but a single century and less. For ages men sowed, harvested and threshcd their grain by hand. The seeding machine, the reaper and the thresh- ing machine were all brought out less than 75 years ago So that it may truly be said that the last century has seen a veritable revolution in the methods of farming because of the mar- velous inventions of farm machinery. The most recent contribution to power fann— ing is the tractor, which passed the experiment- al stage a decade ago and is now recognized as a labor and money-saving, device upon the average farm. But the tractor has by no means as yet reached the zenith of its development and there are undoubtedly scores of uses for such machines which the average mind has not yet dreamed of, or had not at least until Mr. Ford staged his exhibit. The wonders shown in the Ford exhibit call to mind Mr. Ford’s “synthetic cow” at which the nation has poked a lot of good-natured ridicule But laugh as we may at. Mr. Ford ’3 "notions” We are hushed into silence and seri_ ousness when we perceive the “impossible” things he has done.’ Ford is a century or so ahead of the rest of us, and he is dreaming, dreaming all the time of a day when man shall be, emancipated from slavish labor and wrthe “But somehow the League still: lives.

There has always: can more or less complaint against taxes, but dissatisfaction this year has become so great and with such good reason that the legislatu must act to either lower taXes or distribute them more evenly. _ ' _' . It has been said time and again that state 7 expenses cannot be lowered greatly, andafterff a careful investigation of the subject We be4 lieve the statement is true., Thefie can )he some pruning here and some lappi off there'- but despite the claims of politicia ’ who'arhi~ out of office and want to get in, the maximum saying which can be made without actually”; crippling our institutions Will be very small , compared to the total. Farmers and other " _taxpayers who delude themSelves or have been j deluded by others into believing that the ,state . taxes can be out even a fourth are due for a“- sliock. State taxes for the next five years W111 not fall far short of an average of $20,000,000‘a. year, and will exceed that figure providing any appreciable amount is set aside to retire good roads and bonus bonds, as should .be done. The taxpayers might betterconfine their efforts to preventing a further increase in state expend- itures instead of trying to decrease them from their present level, and if they succeed in this, then the revenue from new sources of taxation 4‘ which have been suggested will automatically reduce taxes or real and personal property. It is generally believed that the income tax , , amendment will carry at the fall election, and 5 it is almost certain that the legislature will be asked to levy a.» tax on gasoline. Opinion upon a the gasoline tax is very much devided. . The automotive industry is supposed to be a unit.» _ _ against this tax and even the farmers them- selves are not altogether sure that it would be a good thing. In the Business Farmer’s straw ballot 190 farmers expressed themselves in fav_ or of such a tax and 42 against it. The ballot did not disclose what percentage of those vot- ing owned automobiles or were large users of, . gasoline, Although as stated, the automotive industry is suppossed to be opposed to a gasoline tax, the various manufacturers commital or else very guarded ‘in their- 7 remarks on the subject. A letter dispatched by the Business Farmer to the various manu- facturers in this state failed to reveal a single company which was ready to admit publicly its opposition to the tax. Some merely said they did not care to express an opinion; others that the question of financing road building and maintenance was of such magnitude that ihcy had not vet found an answer. to it. The farmers’ taxes must be reduced and it . will be up to the next legislature to find the " way to do it. . What Was It All About? T HE coal strike has been Settled—for the time being,——and the mines are running again to the limit in an endeavor to make up ' for the precious time which was lost. The average citizen is still pretty much in the dark as to the causes of the strike and also the basis of settlement The miners went back to work at the same old wages, which is a good thing for the farmer and the country. No matter who won'the strike we can’t forget that thousands » of men were out of employment for- ’ l . in .—~ .- 'months; that their families sufferedgfor'the necessaries of life; that the mine owners loo thousands of dollars in. profits; that an in? dustry ‘was slowed up because of either aux; actual shortage of, coal Or “fearof a shortage. ._l The miners suffered ; the mine owners sulfercd ; " lhe, public suffered.

There are'a good many spots in the late spud crop territory where spuds have been greatly injured since August lst by dry weather, wet weather, leaf hoppers, late blight and so on. ' - Am sending you Snow’s lst of August estimate on the spud crop. , You will notice there is a big differ- ence between his estimate and that of the government. ' I have always found Snow’s re- ‘ port to be the most reliable of any crop report. It is always a hundred million miles ahead of the govern- ment’s. What I have written here will cor- rect your reader’s ideas of the spud crop. Also of beans if you publish it. ——A. A. . Lambertson, Montcalm County, Mich. We surely hope, friend ,. Lambertson. that you and Snow are right. But we re- call that you aways predict higher pota- to prices in spring than fall. Sometimes you are right. but often you are wrong. We quite agree that the October and November 1st estimates will probably be lower than the August. They almost al- ways are. Yet potatoes haven't suffered much in Michigan or any other potato ,1 state. except Maine, and we don't believe 1 the September estimate will be very far from the August still we repeat we hope we are wrong and you are right—Editor. BACK TO NORMALCY (An Open Letter to Uncle Spinach) Y Dear Uncle: I note a recent issue of the F., you ask some questions pertinent to the present industrial and political situation in this Land of the Free. Sustaining as I do, a more or less intimate relation to our govern- ment—by reason of paying taxes —I may be able to give you a lit- tle first hand information. 'First off, I advise you to procure a copy of Behind the Mirrors. No doubt you will be able to get it at your library, and should you never read another thing in your life, you will be a pretty well educated man when you have finiShed the book. This will give you a line on‘the situation at Washington. In the first place you ask if our president has or has not power to settle the strikes that‘ now disturb this country. In his speech to Congress Mr. Harding says he has adequate power and authority to settle both the R. R. and coal strike. “But,” he adds, “there is no hur- ry.” You must remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day, Uncle Rube. And What can you expect in the way of legislation when we pay our president only a beggarly Seventy-five thousand a year, and found while .our needy and noble Congressmen have to feather their Rube that. in ‘nests like broody hens, to obtain a mere pittance! , As an afterthought Mr. Harding says he will ask for more power, but I suspect he means more power to drive on the “gawf” course.” Another thing, Mr. Harding has pressing personal duties to engage his attention. Do you realize, Uncle Rube, that Warren Gamaliel Hard- ing has the reputation of being the best dressed man in Washington? And even Abraham Lincoln had no I doubt if (Honest Abe were with us today he could get his face stuck so hard and frequent into the movies as does Mr. Harding, permanent smile ’n every- thing. ' .

Life holds its compensations even for the under dog, Uncle Rube, but should you get a wee bit chilly around the edges this coming win- ter, you will still have, your cosy corner in the M. B. F., Where we .will still have your pleasant smile to beam at us and your homely words strike a responsive chord in our hearts while all that will be left for Warren G. .Harding to do as he packs his grip for the last time in the White House and sings in his mellifluous voice: “My Home Town is a One Horse Town But Its ‘ Big Enough for 'Me,’,’ will be to purchase a ticket to Marion, if the trains are running then, and when the curtain rings down for the last time on the Four Years’ Farce at Washington, he can hit that one 'horse towu and “Wrap the drapery of his couch about him, and lie down to pleasant dreams”—-dead to the world.

ABOI’T THE COOK ER ROM the deluge of inquiries I have received since my article about. my pressure cooker was printed. I think the readers of the M. B. F. must be very much inter- ested in the subject. I have sat up nights trying to aiiswer all the let— ters but. thought perhaps a few more items about it might be of interest. A whole meal can be cooked on one burner of the oil stove, as many different kinds of food as can be packed in the cooker. My husband will not taste of cooked cabbage. but is very fond of peas. A few days ago I put my potatoes in the bottom of the cooker with sufficient ,. water to cover them. then placed the pt (4 in an alumium kettle with a little water. then the cabbage in a small pail set in the kettle of peas, and made a custard and poured it into a pound baking powder can, clamp— ed on the cover of the cooker and processed for ten minutes. The peas nor custard had not the slightest taste of the cabbage. In cooking so many different kinds of food at the same time, each must be put in a dish by itself. Onions can be cook— ed With other food in the cooker and not have the other food flavored by the onion. At present we are very busy can~ RIORE ning vegetables for ourselves and also for our neighbors. My daugh- ter and I have an acre of garden this year as a financial venture and it promises well. In cold pack canning peas. string beans or corn, we only process forty minutes after the pressure reaches twenty pounds. Some have asked me how long it takes to run the pressure to twenty pounds. That all depends on how much you are cook— ing at once and how hot the cooker or water are when the cover is put on, but only a few minutes. I use mine on the range during the win- ter when I have a fire for heat, but I like the oil stove better, as the heat can be regulated better and more evenly. They save a great deal of fuel. I’ll gladly answer any questions anyone wishes to ask, but may not be able to answer all very promptly—Mrs. Claudia Betts. ADVICE FOR HEAR-TBROKEN HE requests in the M. B.

We are in receipt of a number of fine recipes for the buttermilk pie. I appreciate all of them. MAKING FRIED CAKES I find so much useful information through the columns of the M. B. F. The recipes have been helpful to many I am sure. I wish to ask some of the farm- ers’ wives who are skilled in making good fried cakes, the reason I cannot al- ways. have them smooth instead of cracking omen when frying. Occasional— ly they will be just right. I try not to get them too rich or to mould in too much flour and use plenty of hot lard to fry them in. I will appreciate any sugges- tion through your column—K. When fried cakes crack open and are not smooth it is because the dough was dropped in too hot fat. They cooked on the outside before the inside had a chance to cook. When the heat reached the inside and expanded the dough, it could not expand evenly but cracked the outside crust. The same rule will be found to operate when baking cake or even bread. DYE FADED GARMENTS Will you or some of the readers tell me how to dye faded garments succssfully? I have a number of babies’ and children's cotton dresses. which are not badly worn but which are too light colored to be serviceable. All that I have ever eul- ored have faded right out—Mrs. G. C. There are cotton dyes that are supposed to hold color. The Put— nam Dyes for cotton are good. The dye that is sold for wool should not be used for cotton or silk, each has its own peculiar quality. Follow the directions carefully. Rit or Tin- tex will fade in washing. DRESS TO THE SHOE TOPS‘ I will also enlist in Dorothy’s com- pany for short skirts.

I suggest ,that you establish a “Nature Study” depart- ment as a part of the Children’s Hour. By this I mean a department to which the children may send questions about birds and flowers. There would be a picture and description of one Michigan bird in each issue. I think this would greatly increase interest in the children’s depart- ment. What do some of the boys and girls think‘ of this plan?—Harold Oatley, Me- sick, Mich. . EAR Nieces and Nephews: What do you think of Harold’s sugges- tion? I think it is very good and would be pleased to follow it were it not for the fact that shortage of space forbids my publishing a picture and description of a Michigan bird in each issue. However, I would be pleased to establish a department to which you could send questions, not only about birds and flowers but about everything, and I would secure answers to them if they were possible to get. There are departments in M. B. F. that your papas and mammas write to when they have questions they wish answered so why shouldn’t there be one to which you could send your problems? There should be and as soon as I receive the first question I shall start it. Who will be the first to ask a question? Harold has given me a new idea for a contest. Here it is. You like birds don’t you? Sit down and write to me, putting down the names of all the birds you know, tell which one you like the best and why, de- scribe it, its habits and write. any— thing else about it that you think will be of interest to your cousins and Uncle Ned. There will be two prizes given away. One to a boy and one to a girl. The girl that sends in the longest list of names and most inter- esting description will receive a need- le case containing about 50 needles of various sizes, a .very useful article. And the boy sending in the longest list and best description will receive a pencil case containing 4 pencils, a penholder and a pen point. It is just like the ones I gave away in our story contest a couple of months ago and the winners express themselves well pleased so it is worth working for. The contest closes at 12 o’clock noon, September 30, and all letters received after that date will not be counted in the contest—UNCLE NED.

About a year ago her mother died and left her one day old. We had a great time learning her to drink milk. She wouldn't drink out of the dish at first. so we would place a little cloth down in the milk. She would suck on that and finally‘ learn« ed to drink. She grew nicely and soon became a real bother around the door— yard. She seemed aways under foot and would come in the house whenever she got half a chance. She was real cute and we all thought so much of her. One day we thought her time had come. She found a crock of milk that my mother had given the chickens and drank so much that she was nearly dead when we found her; she was bloated up and round just ab0ut like a ball. MyOfather was away back in the field working, so my mother took a, long—necked bottle and put some sodaxwater and peppermint in it and poured it down her throat, and in a few minutes, pig like, was looking for more sour milk. .Now although she weighs 260 lbs. and is the proud mother . ‘of eight baby pigs, she is no less a pet. .

I like to roam and wander around in the woods and get butterflies and bugs. Did you ever watch the caterpillar make his nest for the winter? It is like a coffin and is called a cocoon.

How beautiful everything comes (LII, in the spring after its white blanket of snow is laid aside. Fall is very pretty too and I like to watch the leaves change from green to their beautiful colors. I have lived here in Michigan about four years. I came from the State of Washington, from the wonderful west. We lived about 24 miles from the sea- shore. It is wonderful to go and see the tide go out and see some of the sunfish that are left behind. They are a very lazy kind of fish. Their mouth grows around to one side because they are too azy to swim straight, and some are left on the shore because they are too lazy to swim out with the tide. There is an— other kind of fish called Star Fish. It is shaped like a star and its color is brown. It does not look like a fish, you cannot see that they have eyes or a mouth. I cannot explain how they look very well. They can be dried and they will keep a long time. I must close with best wishes for the future success of the Your loving niece. P.

I lived in the State of Washington until about four yearsago. The west is a very beau— tiful country. We lived about a mile from the Skagit River. It is a. very large _ It is fed from the mountains and when the Schnook winds blow they melt the snow on the moun- tains and sometimes cause the river to overflow its banks causing floods that are very destructful to homes. One day we crossed the river on a ferry boat and saw a large kingfisher catching fish. He would fly to a tree with his fish and h1t the head of the fish against a knot on the tree to kill it. There are some giant trees there also. Some of the stumps are so large that campers can stay overnight in the ones that have been hollowed out. It is fun to be in a western logging camp and watch the donkey engines pull the big logs to the saw Illlll. It is fun to go to the beach when the tide is out, and dig clams and f1nd all kinds of curious fish and shells. There was a mountain near our place that.had Washington’s hatchet on the very peak. We could .see Mt. Baker from where we lived. It had snow on it the year around. It was also a volcanic mountam that smoked most all the time. We had a nice tri coming to Michigan.

Edward..Moser of Mt. .Clem- ens read. of the account in the last issue, of the subscriber who told of his horse having been sweeneyed and told the editor of a simple cure which, he says, he and his father before him have perform- ed many times with entire success. To determine whether a horse is so affected let him step over a piece of limb, if he drags or swings a foot instead of lifting it, he is sweeneyed. Then get a. whole skein of white floss, procure a Steel needle with an eye long enough ”to receive the Whole skein and with a curved point like an upholsterer's needle. Punct- ure the breasts of the horse about two inches from the center and draw the skein through, draw out the needle and tie the ends. Leave the ends and in time the wounds will close and the silk drop out. It may take several weeks but a complete cure will have been made. He says he has never known it to fail. VEAL IS CONDEMNED Would like to have your opinion about the Detroit Beef 00.. commission merch- ants in regards to honesty. Looks to me they were crooked will state the case to you as clear as I can. 3 dressed veal calves, the first one weigh- ed 104 pounds and I received 311. 23 and was satisfied. The second one weighed 84 pounds and I received 86. 77. The last one weighed 94 pounds. They sent me a. slip from the Department of Health stat~ in}: it was sour. The slip hows it was delivered the next day an I know of three farmers near here that received slips stating their calves were sour Am sending the papers and a. check for 4 cents for the last calf.—W J B., Le Roy. Mich. The company you mention is one of the most reliable commlsswn firms in Detroit. The fact that they sent you the Department of Health’s con- demnation slip would seem to be a proof of their honesty. The calves might not have been in prime con- dition when shipped and mlght have encountered some hot weather be- fore reaching Detroit. You must remember that weather rcond1t10ns in Detroit are different than they are in Le Roy, and that it might be very hot in Detroit on the same day it was moderately warm in your sec- tion. The Detroit Health Department has issued some regulations to gulde farmers in shipping meat carcasses which it will pay all shippers to ob— serve. They are as follows: “(a) All trucks, wagon beds, containers, receptacles, wagon cov- ers and food products therein shall be kept clean, sanitary and well pro— tected. “(b) Carcasses of cattle shall be accompanied by the hearts, livers and lungs and tongues with their glands intact and so numbered or arranged that the parts can be identified with the carcass from which the parts have been removed:w This pertains to carcasses brought into the city from the country either by the farm- er in person or through the Rail- way Express. “(0) Sheep carcasses shall be ac- companied by the hearts, livers and lungs attached by their natural attachments. The entire pelt of sheep including skin (stockings) on the extremities shall be removed. , “(d) Calf carcasses shall be ac; companied. by the hearts, livers and lungs attached by their’ natural at- tachments or in separate receptacles and so marked 01' labeled that they may be identified with the carcasses from which they have. been removed. The entire intestinal tract shall be removed 'and the thoracic cavity well drained, with the umbilical cord in- clean. This also pertains to car- casses shipped into the city from the country. ”(6) companied by the hearts, Swine carcasses shall be ac- livers, lungs and heads attached «by their 5 natural attachments or- If the car-w basses are split thmheads shall 1111‘ me ed as My problem: In and not .‘ ‘ “noodles: .

The inspector makes a. physical examination of all carcasses and if any of.the above conditions are found, condemnation of the entire carcass or parts effected is necessary. If the inspector is in doubt regard‘ ing a disease condition, the carcass is retained and a pathological ex. amination in the laboratory is then made..—-H. H. Sparhawk, Chief Vet-' er1nar1an.

Hogging Down Corn—~Hogs make faster and more efficient gains when , turned into a cornfield to harvest the corn than when it is thrown over the fence to them. ‘Green Feeds Make Milk—Green corn fodder,.alfalfa, Sudan grass or other green crops fed to the milk cows daily will do much to prevent the usual decrease in dairy produc- tion at this time of the year. Cows that receiVe a green succulent ration will produce more milk than those kept on dry feed or short pastures. Some farmers make it a practice to sow certain crops in the spring at such times as to give them continu- ous and liberal supply of green fresh feed from the fields in late summer and early fall.

In the Belgian class the Owosso Sugar Company and W. E. Scripps had everything about their own way. The Owosso firm has exhibited thor- oughbred Belgians at the State Fair' for a number of years and always 'took away a goodly share of the money. Following last year’s show Mr. Scripps went in pretty heavily ~ for Belgians and this is the first year he has shown at the State Fair. Scripps and the Owosso firm just _ about divided first and second hon- ors in this class, with Loeb Farms at Charlevoix and the M. A. C. dividing third honors. In the Shropshire sheep contest Armstrong Bros., of Fowlerville, Mich, Herbert E. Powell & Son of ,Ionia, Mich.; C. Middleton of Clay- ton, Mich.; 0. W. Soper, of Fowler- ville and Hamer & Lockwood of Lewiston, 0., were the principal con- tenders with Middleton and Powell taking most of the first and second awards. . In the Hampshire division A. R. Hamilton, _ of Johnstown, Pa., took nearly all the first prizes and J. B. Welsh of Ionia, Mich” and C. L. Mitchell of Lucas, the principal re- cipients divided the rest of the hon- ors with L. C.

" Similar to Alexander. info ,5, productive tree. ammo .1311“, At the same time the state’ s over. 1 Peach: Very large and showy, but sour. White Beauty: Light colored, flesh and skin nearly white, sweet, best for dessert fruit. ~- These varieties begin. to bear when from five to seven years old, except the Alexander, which waits till about 12. This is the one seri- ous objection to the Alexander, but it is then so productive that it is well worth waiting the extra years. Mr. La Male’ s experience has gone far to prove that the apricot can be grown profitably in Monroe County. He has the trees, he has had the fruit and has excellent prospects for the future. The conditions with which he has had to deal are not exceptionally good. Many localities are better protected against late spring frosts and have a soil as well fitted for the purpOse. While this is the only orchard we have found, an occassiOnally tree is not uncommon. On our farm in Oakland county there are six which have stood for more than 30 years and are still bearing. They are on a hill, -When the atmospheric drainage is good. The soil is a heaVy clay. These trees. the owner says, annually, while one season in three there is a heavy crop. Generally, the tree seems to be long—lived and fairly productive if set in the proper kind of a place. To be sure the wise ones shake their heads and say the apricot is not suited to our climate, but that has happened before. Granted that the tree be too tender for the climate. If it is thirty or forty years in dying and all the time bearing fruit, what more should it do? 0 Apple maggots or railroad worms are a serious pest in New England. They are not yet common in Michi- gan, though reported at several places in the state. It tunnels about in the flesh of the fruit, ruining it for food, except for those who can stand it to eat worms and all. The insect stays in the apple till it falls then crawls out and into the ground, when it propates and remains till the following summer. Spraying does no good. The best remedy is to destroy the pest before it has left the fruit, preferably by feeding to animals. Fortunately, it is not eas- ily distributed. It may be limited for yearsto one tree in an orchard. TIME AIN’T CHANGED MUCH AFTER ALL (Continued from page 13) an wear ear rings an’ the gossips begun to wag their tongues harder an say “The gals wasn’t so brassy when we wuz young, what’s the world comin’ to?" Once in a. while some one would remark that girls are about the same from one generation to another but the talk kept right on. An’ then Elmiry an’ me got to thinkin'. The ones that had the most to say about bangs an’ ear rings had such scraggly hair they couldn't wear bangs ’er else their ears was so big they couldn’t wear ear rings. An’ ii! you’ll notice it’s the same way with short “skirts. Them that has the most to say has bow legs or skinny legs an' they have to cover ’em up or gitlaughed at. A11 so they watch the pretty young girls with short skirts an’ bobbed hair an’ they turn green with envy an then they sit down an’ write to Mr. Editor about the shameless short skirts. It’s like fly time, the buzz don’t amount to much if you can keep away from the dirt. And our girls will keep on wearin' short skirts and bobbin their hair an the ugly flies will keep on buzzin, but I thank goodness most of our ’girls will be as sweet an good as have winter killed.

The other members of the family stand around viewing the dress with critical eyes and commenting upon the’neck display. Mother is of the opinion that the neck is too low but the young miss remonstrates, and says that’ all the girls of her Endeavor class are wearing' em even lower.

B. F. WILL no 11 'HAVE you A SILO? HE above question, of course, is T addressed to the stock-keeper. If given in the-negative his answ- er would show reasons as varied as the country is wide. ’ There are in round "numbers five ,hundred thousand silos on farms in the United States. They are found in every state in the U11 and in nearly every country. T is proves that the silo can be used successfully in practically all parts f the coun- try. The man who is eeping live “stock can well afford to devote some thought and study to this silo ques- tion. The silo is most numerous in the leading dairy states, but many states and communities are backward in taking advantage of this economic means of feeding cattle. Wisconsin ranks first as a si-lo state with close to eighty-five thousand on one hun- dred and ninety thousand farms. New York is second with fifty thousand on about the same number of farms. Still those familiar with conditions in Wisconsin and New York admit that they are less than half supplied, and that even three times more silos could be put into valuable and econo- mic use. Great dairy states like Minnesota, Iowa and Ohio are very short of silos compared with Wis- consin and New York. Then there are many other states east and west, north and” south that do not have one Where they really need ten. Silage has been so thoroly tested cut from an economic feeding stand— point that most of our Experiment Stations have considered it a closed question. The‘re are few states in the Union that have not printed bul- letins and feeding tests all of which show that silage is an economic feed for milk, beef and mutton. As to the amount it saves the feeder, no definite figures can be given, for prices of feed, labor and commodi- ties vary with each year and in every state. It is safe, however, to con— clude from the tests that have been made that at least ten cents can be saved on a pound of butter, forty cents on one hundred pounds of milk and one dollar on one hundred pounds of beef. Withsuch a sav- ing surely this subject is a live one for every steak-keeper in this coun- try. Silage for young stock and grow- ing animals is quite as valuable and important as it is for those that are producing milk or beef. Horses at rest, brood mares, colts and mules can be‘fed silage with economy. The five hundred thousand silo users of this country are perhaps the best ex- periment relating to the value and economy of the silo, for they have tested out its worth and know of its value and advantages on the average farm. The dairy industry has pros- pered during the past few years, and many farmers are increasing their herds. They will find the most ex- pensive part of the business is that invested in the feed bill; in other words, to feed a c‘ow is the most ex-' pensive item connected with the busi- ness and the silo is one of the first matters to consider for economical production and to give a succulent nutritious ration that can be drawn upon any time during the year. The silo plays an important part in the process of turning the cheap forages of the farm into condensed marketable produce; and especially at this time of high transportation costs wenwill do well to engage in a line of farming that will condense our raw materials. We are. espe- cially interested in shipping a fin- ished product, especially if the mar- ket demand is favorable. The silo has come and is still coming to the farmer who aims to utilize his pro- ducts to the best advantage, who wishes to get the most from his acres and prevent a. waste of rough- age which has been so expensive in past years. The silo is answering the pasture problem, for silage is thecheapest source of pasture. It is a 1abor~sav- ing device, for it offers at all sea.- sons 8. supply of hand. It can be easily and quickly transported to bunk or manger, and is relished ,by practically all classes Am A. ms forage close at. , thousand. " The act 4 TOG of stock. It is rich in carbo—hy— drates, it. is succulent, and makes a balance for high protein feeds or fodder. ' ' The stock-keeper will do well to figure carefully the answer of the question “Have you a silo?” He can secure plenty of information from silo owners. Our Experiment Sta- tions can furnish him volumes of data, and there are many other sources from which to draw reliable figures. Too often the man who is considering this subject listens to the man who does not own a. silo. From an investment standpoint it will figure out close to a hundred per cent under many farm conditions. Even if it figured ten would it not be a wise move?—A. L. Haecker. JUDGES FOR NATIONAL DAIRY > EXPOSITION ‘ Ayrshires—A. H. Tryon, Port Chester, N. Y. judge; J. A. McLean, Chicago, associate judge.

She can only hold about five quarts in her udder. Is there anything we can do for her to stop this? —F. W. W., Charlevoix, Mich. It may be‘ advisable to milk the cow three times a day if the quan- tity of milk that she gives will pay to do this. On the other hand, the matter can be helped considerably by applying a drop of collodion to the tip of each teat after milking. This forms a skin like clot over the end of the teat and will help to hold the milk in the cow’s udder. Collodion may be purchased at any drug store.—~—J. E. Burnett, Asso- ciate Professor of Dairy Husbandry, M. A. C. CALL VETERINARIAN I have a Holstein cow four and one- half years old that hais a. cluster iof warts on one of her teats, and it start- ed small about the size of a nickle, w’hen ' we purchased her about five m nths ago, and now it is the size of a Silver dollar and seems to keep her from giv- ing much milk out of the same teat. Al- so notice a ring of single warts coming around her neck and in line down her back—R. C. D., Rose City, Mich. I cannot prescribe a treatment for- the above case Without seeing the animal and making a thorough ex- amination. I would advise that you call a competent veterinarian to make a diagnosis and take charge of the case.——Edw. K. Sales, Asst. Prof. of Surg. and Med., M. A. C. RECTUM TROUBLE I have a three—month-old sow pig which has a portion of the rectum protruding about 2 inches. What may I do to remedy this condition? For some time I have noticed that this pig had considerable difficulty in stooling but gave the matter no serious attention. Have been feeding her plenty of will with lots of mlddlings added. The rectum protruding looks very similar to cases of piles in the human where the same symptoms are present. The pig has only been in this condition for four or five days now. Hot weather with files present are liable to bring in- fection unless something can be done to return the rectum to its proper place. It is now quite irritated. Am trying to keep pig in a very clean place so as to prevent infection. May I have your ad- vice as to best method of treatment at a. iii-Ti. early date?——H. D. G., Burlington, ic . This is a very troublesome condi- tion, in recent cases, before the mu- cous membrane of the gut has be- come rlable and easily" torn. The parts should be bathed freely with hot water to which may be added some antiseptic such as Creolln orw- Chinese] or if exceedingly congested, of ,: adrenalin chlorh;é ._ one. tan they maybe sprayed with a_.solution‘ , ~ asto ‘ LI‘ ”lief. ., I ECAUSE bacteria A‘ifl‘t‘eh arm should then secedwacrqssthe anus to retain sorted for the some object.

' [DRYING MILK CAN S STOPS ‘ ‘ * GROWTH OF BACTERIA increase in T ~-nu‘mbers at such an astonishing ' rate when conditions are favor- able, it is necessary not only to kill as, many of them as possible in ord- er to keep dairy utensils clean and insure a good product; but utensils must be kept dry, so that the few organisms that are left after sterili- la-tion' will not multiply greatly. In addition to the proper temperature it is neCessary that moisture be pres- ent for these germs‘to grow, but only a very thin filmy! water is needed. It is particularly important that milk cans be thoroughly dried and kept dry. until used again, says the v' {United States Department of Agricul- . ture. In. addition, they must be pro- ' tected from contamination with dust, other dirt, and flies. Experiments carried on by the department show that in milk cans which were cov- ered before being dried the number of bacteria increased 700 times in 24 hours. - . A To secure rapid drying the cans must be sterilized withsteam or boil- ing water. If a sterilizer is used '- the cans may be left in it until time for them to be used again, but there must be some means of ventiliation to carry on! the moisture. Cans may be set on a rack to dry, but they should be protected from flies and dust, preferably in a well screened milk house. ' WHY FOLKS PREFER. CLOSED .. CARS “ HE old De Witt Clinton railroad train had open cars. but who would think of traveling on to- day’s railroads in open cars,” accord- ing to Colin Campbell, General Sales Manager, Chevrolet Motor Company. “Closed automobiles are instantly . adaptable to changes in weather or _, to the comfort of the paSsengers.. They are cleaner. have a home—like atmosphere, finer appearance, and in general make th most practical means for passenger ransportation. “Confident'that the _correction of the price differential would produce the volume to justify it, Chevrolet Motor Company priced its1922 line accordingly. The results have prov- ed the wisdom of this policy. The proportion of our closed car business to our total sales has been increasing so rapidly, that we anticipate it will represent more than fifty percent within a year.” I ,l'oétiljthalfe'derul arm Loan Board; to 'and all the bills would lamend the ,Federal Reserve Act so that that system would . w‘el, baa purse-string suture men: fails, amputation by a quali- ~ .

Mr. Baruch gave it as his opinion that any of the four bills would give a substantial measure of relief, but was of the opinion that the measure finally decided upon should provide three sorts of loans and correspond- ingly three sorts of short time »de- bentures from the sale or which would be obtained the funds for carrying the loans, which might a-' mount to a great. many times the capital ”or the proposed institu- tion) viz: (1) Loans for facilitating the marketing of agricultural pro- ducts in an orderly-manner and at discretion, (2) livestock loans, and ( 3) loans for production purposes. The last, he thought, should be based on the united credit of local associa— ‘ tions of farmers, .so that all the members of the group would indorse the notes of each. He was confident that there would be a wide and ready market for debentures or notes run- ning from six months to three years because the security would be un‘ surpassed. Not only would the mon— ey centers readily absorb such in- struments but he was convinced that there would be a wide market for them in,the rural communities them— selves. Regarding the proposed Fed- eral Reserve Act amendments Mr.- Baruch while favoring some of them to give farm paper a longer maturity period than six months which is the Accommodations be- yond six months could come from de- benture funds. The trouble with agricultural fin- ancing at present, Mr. Baruch told the committee. was that it was so precarious and short—timed that it left the farmer entirely at the mercy- of the money lender or credit giver and deprived him of freedom of ac— tion in marketing his crops in an orderly and sagaci-ous manner. Ade- quafe storage facilities and impartial grading and inspection were import- ant adjuncts to a suitable credit system; and storage could be provid- ed by public agencies it private agen- cies did not come forward. which they likely would do once credit was provided. Mr. Baruch also reminded the committee that it was not pro- posed to ‘do away with any of the pressent factbrs in rural financing but merely to, create a supplemental financial agency which would assist them to function efficiently and might possibly so influence existing facili- ties that they would be found suffi- cient to provide the farmer with em- ple working capital at reasonable rates of interest and for suitable terms without much activity by the proposed governmental agency. But the main thing Was to create some such agency and do it at once. -t-Complete Dispersion Sale- ‘ Birmingham, Mich, Oct. 18, 1922 ‘ Purebred Holstein Friesian Females 50 _ 21 Daughters, of King Korndyke Echo SYIvia 21 50‘ 5' Daughters of Hardy Pontiac Segis 5 ~3v Daughters of Aristocratic Pontiac 3 ‘ . ,. 3 - » Daughters of Segis Cynthia 3 ‘. cow’undér the new rules).

Snyder, Studebaker SaIes Agent, ‘Exonerated by Coroner’s July for Death of Mary June Reed Roy Snyder, Studebaker Sales Agent of Howell, Michigan, in com- ing from South Bend with a new car, came through Battle Creek on Thursday, August 10. He was meet- ing a street car on Maple avenue when Mary June Reed, seven years of age, ran back of the street car directly in the path of the Snyder automobile. He turned his car quickly to the right but as the child was only a foot and a half from the automobile he could not avoid run- ning over her. She lived half an hour without regaining conscious- ness. 'Mr. Snyder went to the police do- partment and asked for an investi- gation and notified. the Howell In- surance Company who had a repre— sentative in Battle Creek before eight o’clock. Witnesses were inter- viewed and the facts presented to the police department so they released Mr. Snyder. However, an attorney started suit for $25,000 but they did not get ser— vice upon Mr. Snyder. The evidence brought was so clear that Mr. Robb and Mr. Howlett concluded that Mr. Snyder was not needed at the in- quest and by staying outside of the the summons. On Tuesday, August 15, after listening to seven disinter- ested witnesses in which it appeared that Roy Snyder was traveling at about eight miles an hour and the SWINE POLAND CHINA "-A N N U A L S A L E Large Type Poland China Swine New Stock Pavilion, Hillsdale County Fair Grounds Thursday, Oct. 19, 1922 50 Head first?"

Damage to egg shipments is preventable to such a large extent under the best modern conditions that experiment stations, the great shipping companieseverywhere and the farmers generally are co-operat— ing with the railroads in a nation- wide effort to shut off. the which have been a source of so much expense and irritation in the past. The American Railway Association through its freight claim prevention department believes that the answer to the egg breakage problem 'has been found in the excelsior pad. This is not a trade name. The pad. as its name indicates, is made of ordin- ary excelsior but in such a way that it is very nearly perfect in prevent— ing damage as contrasted with loose excelsior. Egg damage and subse- quent claims for losses have grown to such proportions that specialists were assigned to provide a remedy. It was determined that the chief cause of breakage of eggs in transit was the loose pack which allowed the fillers to shift and shuffle about in the case, then bending or breaking the tips of the fillers and permitting the eggs to come in contact with the sides and ends of the case. Ex- periments have shown that six pads used in each case, three in each of the two compartments, produced just - enough pressure to hold the eggs firmly in place and relieve the pres— sure on the filler tips. One produce company in Michigan reports that its damage claims in 1920, while loose excelsior was used for packing, amounted to $600, while in, 1921, when the pads were used, these claims were reduced to $23.40. The excelsior pads cost the ship- per about one cent a piece or six cents to the case. Produce com— panies in all parts of the country are reporting a saving from 25 to 80 and even 100 per cent when the six excelsior pads are used, one at the bottom, one at the top and one under the top layer in each side of the case. Some shippers report handling from one to two hundred cars of eggs without any damage whatever under this system of pack- mg. To insure against the breakage of eggs in transit the American Ex- press Company and the American Railway Association recommend these simple rules: (1) Use only new standard fill— ers. A filler is strong enough for one trip only, hence there is no such thing as a “good” second—hand filler. The use of second—hand fillers is pro- hibited by both the freight and ex— press regulations. (2) Use 6 four—ounce excelsior pads to the case, one on top, one on bottom and one under top layer of each side. Best results are obtained by not inserting a flat where a pad is used. Do not use loose excelsior in cushioning eggs. More damage oc- curs in eggs packed with loose ex— celsior than with any other method of packing. Six pads give much by a simple way at home.

They are the (dairy cow and ‘the hen. On the small farms the casual rural visitor cannot help but see that the major part of the income supporting the average family comes from the barnyard flocks and a few good dairy cows. Although profits from dairying are much larger with respect to land, labor, feed and year round production as compared to the farm flock, yet as an incidental farm 0p— eration, producing a good return, poultry keeping has become prom— inent in all sections. When the“ National Dairy Exposi- tion opens its gates Oct. 7th on the Minnesota State Fair Grounds, the first National Poultry Exposition will be held at the same time, un— der the management of the Nation- al Dairy Association, with Geo. W. Hackett as managing director. Poultry fanciers and dairymen will join in a common effort to bring before the American public the message of well bred poultry and dairy cattle at this dual exposi- tion. Hens with high egg produc- tion records are being entered from all parts of the United States and Canada. Separate classes are ar— ranged for the principal breeds. More than 3,000 birds will be on dis- play. . The decision to hold this poultry show and make it international in scope was reached after many con- ferences were held in the Twin Cit- ies between poultry leaders of the industry centering in the North— west. . Agitation for an international show has been evident for a year, but definite action to unite the dif— ferent poultry interests of the Northwest remained dormant until the possibility of holding a show in connection with the Dairy Exposi- tion became imminent. After that. the great dairy institution was re- turned to the Twin Cities for 1922. Boys’ and girls’ club work will re- ceive special attention under the di— rection of Prof. T. A. Erickson, Minnesota State club leader, who will have junior club teams demon- strating various phases of their work daily. The Minnesota State Fair board has placed at the disposal of the Na- same low fifty cent admission price will hold for both expositions and in addition will admit visitors to “Healthland,” the $10,000 health exhibit occupying one entire build- ing, which is being arranged by the National Dairy Association and the National Dairy Council in co—opera~ tion with 12 other national health organizations and government boards.

THE HUNTED \VOMAN (Continued from page 6) good-bye,” she said. “Won’t you let me thank you—a last time?” Her voice brought him to himself again. A moment he bent over her hand. A moment he felt its warm, firm pressure in his own. The smile that flashed to his lips was hidden from her as he bowed his blond-gray head. “Pardon me for the omission,” he apologized. “Good-bye—~and may luck go with you!” Their eyes met once more. With another bow he had turned, and was continuing his way. At the door Joanne Gray looked back. He was whistling again. stride was filled with a freedom that seemed to come to her in the breath of the mountains. And then she, too, smiled strangely as she re-ent— ered the tent. CHAPTER III F JOHN ALDOUS had betrayed no visible sign of inward vanquish- ment he at least was feeling its effect. For years his writings had made him the target for a world of women, and many men. The men he had regarded with indifferent tolera- ‘tion. The women were his life—the “frail and ineffective creatures” who gave spice to-his great adventure, and made his days anything but mo— notonous. He was not unchivalrous. Deep down in his heart—and this was his own secret—he did not even despise women. But he had seen their weaknesses and their frailties as perhaps no other man had ever seen them, and he had written of them as‘ no other man had ever written. This had brought him the condemnation of the host, the ad— miration of the few. His own per- sonal veneer of antagonism against woman was purely artificial, and yet only a few had guessed it. He had ' built it up about him as a sort of protection. He called himself “an ' adventurer in the mysteries of femi- nism,” and to be this successfully he had argued that he must destroy in himself the usual heart-emotions of the sex—man and the animal. How far he had succeeded in this he himself did not know—until these last moments when he had bid good- bye to Joanne Gray. He confessed that she had found a cleft in his ar— mour, and there was an uneasy thrill in his blood. It was not her beauty alone that had affected him. He had ' trained himself to look at a beautiful woman as he might have looked at a beautiful flower, confident that if he went beyond the mere admiration of it he would find only burned—out ashes. But in her he had seen some- thing that was more than beauty, something that for a flashing mo- L ment had set stirring every molecule in, his being. He had felt the desire to rest his hand upon her shining hair! ‘ He turned off into a winding path that led into the thick poplars, re- straining an inclination. to look back i the _, direction of the fitto camp. ~ .-,pipe. he had irt‘ ecket filled it J”. His careless, easy‘ L during the past few years and I think is». with fresh tobacco, and began smok- ing. ‘ As he smoked, his ups wore a quizzical smile, for he was honeSt enough to give Joanne Gray credit for her triumph. She had awakened a new kind of interest in him—only a passing interest, to be sure—but a new kind for all that. «The fact amused him. In a large way he was a humourist—few guessing it, and he fully appreciated the humor of the present situation—that he, John Aldous, touted the world over as a woman-hater, wanted to peer out through the poplar foliage and see that wonderful gold-brown head shining in the sun once more! He wandered more slowly on his way, wondering with fresh interest what his friends, the women, would say when they read his new book. His title for it was “Mothers.” It was to be a tremendous surprise. Suddenly his face became serious. He faced the sound of a distant phonograph. It was not the phono- graph in Quade’ s place, but that of a rival dealer in soft drinks at the end of the “street.” For a moment Aldous hesitated. Then he turned in the direction of the camp. Quade was bolstered up on a stool, his back against the thin partition, when John AldOus sauntered in. There was still a groggy look in his mottled face. His thick bulk hung a bit limply. In his heavy—lidded eyes, under-hung by watery pouches of sin and dissipation, there was a vengeful and beastlike glare. He was surrounded by his friends. One of them was taking a wet cloth from his head. There were a dozen in the canvas—walled room, all with their backs to the door, their eyes upon their fallen and dishonored chief. For a moment John Aldous paused in the door. The cool and insolent smile hovered about his lips again, and little crinkles had gathered at the corners of his eyes. “Did I hit you pretty hard, Bill?” he asked. Every head was turned toward him. Bill Quade stared, his mouth open. He staggered to his feet, and stood dizzily. “You—damn you!” he cried husk- ily. Three or four of the men had al— ready begun to move toward the stranger. Their hands were knotted, their faces murderously dark. “Wait a minute, boys,” warned Al— dous coolly. “I’ve got something to say to'you—and Bill. Then eat me alive if you want to. Do you want to be square enough to give me a word?” Quade had settled back sickly on his stool. The others had stooped, waiting. The quiet and insolently confident smile had not left Aldous’ lips. “You’ll feel better in a few minutes, Bill,” he consoled. “A hard blow on the jaw always makes you sick at the pit of the stomach. That dizziness will pass aWay shortly. Meanwhile, I’m going to give you and your pals a little verbal and visual demonstration of what you’re up against, and warn you to bait no traps for a certain young woman whom you’ve lately seen. She’s go- ing on to Tete Jaune. And I know how your partner plays his game up there. I’m not particularly anxious to butt into. your affairs and the business of this pretty bunch that’s gathered about you, but I’ve come to give you a friendly warning for all that. If this voung woman is embarrassed up at Tete Jaune you’re going to settle with me.” Aldous had spoken without a tre- mor of excitement in his voice. Not one of the men noticed his speaking lips, his slim hands, or his careless posture as he leaned in the door. They were looking straight into his eyes, strangely scintillating and deadly earnest. In such a man mere bulk did not count. “That muchwfor words," he went on. “Now I’m going to give you the visual demonstration. I know your game, Bill. You’re already planning what you’re going to do. You don’t fight fair—because you never have. You’ve already decided that some morning I’ll turn up missing, or be dug out from under a fall of rock, or go peacefully floating doWn the Ath— abasca. See! There’s nothing in that hand, is there?” ‘ He stretched out an empty hand toward them, palm up. ' “And now!” ' , .

WHEAT There is very little in the present wheat situation except the lowness of the price to warrant a belief in higher values. The government’s last estimate is distinctly bearish, showing as it does that the total world crop is only slightly less than one year ago but still far above th ' pre—war average. Earlier estimates by both government and private re- port much larger production, and it begins to look as if some- one had undershot the mark by ‘ a good many thousand bushels. But now we are suddenly ad- vised that the world’s export- able surplus is probably larger than'the world’s estimated needs. Is there any wonder that farmers are beginning to question all crop estimates? Inasmuch as nearly ev- ery estimate issued the last few months has seemed to bring into question the accuracy of the preceed- ing estimate we know of no reason why the one recently issued should be accepted as correct. Whether or no the crop is too large one thing is perfectly obvious to all, the price is too low, and will cause great fi- nancial less to farmers and every- body concerned. The financial in- terests and the speculators seem to realize this, and that is one of the reasons why we do not expect to see- wheat values drop much further.

At Detroit the decline amounted to 2 cents but be- fore the week closed the market was back to 68 cents for No. 2 yellow. on the opening day of the week end- ing Saurday, September 9, corn took the leadership in the grain markets and trading was active with higher prices prevailing. Crop damage com— plaints stimulated the buying side of. the market. Serious losses are re- ported in many sections of the corn belt due to the hot and dry weather. Complaints of. poorly filled ears and of barren stalks cam , from most sections and the trad, las come to the conclusion that the crop wil be materially lighter than last year. Re- ports indicated that that best ,pros- pects are in lowa, but even that state will not raise as much corn as last year. There has been heavy con- sumption of corn in the past year and for this reason the amount carried over at the close of the season will be less than last November. Many of the bulls figure that the amount of corn available at the start of next season. old and new crops. will be at least 400,000,000 bushels smaller than a year ago. The market closed last week at Detroit inst one cent be- low what it was two weeks before and the tone of the market was quiet.

RYE The rye market was active last week at Detroit and the price of No. 2 went to 74 cents, an advance of 2%, cents for the week. The price on the Chicago market ranged about the same being slightly higher at times. POTATOES We may yet expect some surprises in the potato deal before it is over. Our optimistic friend, Mr. A. A. Lam- bertson of Kent county, says the government is all off on its potato estimate, and While we have express- ed our disagreement with him else- where in this issue, at this particular writing it begins to appear that he may not be altogether wrong. ports received by the Business Farm- er within just the_last few days in— dicate that the crop has suffered se- verely in Maine, Minnesota and Col— orado. A Minnesota correspondent. avers that the crop in the northwest has been over—estimated by 20,000,— 000 bushels, while a Colorado writer says the crop in ‘many sections will not be one-half of what it was last year. Add to these statements the fact that the far western states are virtually shut out from the big east- ern markets by reason of the low prevailing prices and the high freight rates, and the Michigan shipper may yet be able to find some gleam of comfort in the situation. The rate on potatoes from Idaho to Chicago is $1.12 per cwt. The Chicago market closed last week around $1.10 per Re- - cwt., or two cents less than the freight. When you add’to this cost of bags, handling, etc., it is plain to be seen that the Idaho shipper isn’t making any money, or not much, anyway, You cannot exclude the millions of bushels of western po- tatoes from the eastern markets for a very long period of time without a local shortage developing. For this reason, if no other, we expect to see the potato market stiffen up a bit before very long. Buying of the late varieties has begun in many parts of the state, but the prices of- fered are ridiculously low. Be- cause of the low opening market it is unlikely that there will be any drastic declines when the bulk of the crop is harvested, which fact, we believe warrants the grower in bid— ing his time and wait for the devel- opments which will take place the next sixty days. ' Prices Detroit—731.42 per cwt. Chicago—$1.20 per cwt. New York—$1.33 per cwt. Prices one year ago—Detroit, $1.00 per cwt. BEANS We would like an answer to this question: “Why have beans_dropped $4 a hundred in the last sixty days when there hasn’t been an increase of a single bean in the supply and the consumption if anything has been larger?” Oh, We know, there is that “prospect” of a fair sized crop, but the prospect isn’t any bigger if it is as big as it was 60 days ago. Does anyone thing for a moment that there would have been any such drastic declines in prices if the farmers had control of the marketing of the crop? There was a reason why the bean market should have slumped some from the high of July, and there would be a reason if it should slump a bit at harvest time, especially if the farmers were eager to sell. But there is no sound, legitimate reason intelligent THE WEATHER FOR NEXT WEEK As forecasted by W. T. Foster for The Michigan Business Farmer FOSTER'S WEATHER.

Tempera— tures will go to such extremes that the three great cold waves of the last three weeks of that month will demand heat. in residences and offices three Weeks earlier than usual. That means that heat will be in demand along and north of latitude 40 near and after October 6. and that frosts will be two weeks earlier than usual. The principal reason that t hree severe storm periods. centering on October 3, 12 and 27, will constantly keep the. atmosphere stirred and prevent warm air from accumulating, the results being the reverse of the early Septem- ber warm wave.

FEEDING CATTLE Don't'buy too many stock cattle this fall, in other words, do not bite of! more than you can masticate. This gmaxim is worthy of Contusius him- self. A year‘ago it was possible to buy cattle blind without the least danger of losing _a dime; two years agopurchase made loss inevitable. ‘. ' This is a season \for caution. f - Above all things give heavy cattle a wide berth, as they are a gambling » ,', proposition at the best, and the av- “ erage farmer-feeder cannot afford to gamble with cattle. It is less la- 1" borious to speculate on the board of trade. More money .has been lost ‘ ,5- a during the past ten years feeding ~'. l heavy cattle than would have been '1 , possible had the same operators spec- ‘ ‘7‘ ulated in corn. Buy‘ light cattle and get a growth on them. Calves are a safe proposi- tion ll! you know how to handle them, but remember they are babies and must be. treated in the same manner as a yearling. , Cattle feeding as a speculation is notoriously dangerous, but as a means of cenverting roughage and corn into marketable product. Buy light cat- , tle, increase the weight 30 to 40 per i u , ‘ cent while in your pasture with as little outlay for commercial feeds as possible and give them credit for the ' manure, always, that beef—making is , a no short-cut to wealth—The Round- up. CORN SUPPLY United States Supply of Corn for _ the 1922-23 season will be about . l 400,000,000 .bushels. less than the .‘ ; ”previous year based on private esti- ‘ mates as’to the crop. The average of _ c ’ the Snow and Goodman estimates is * _ V _ around 2,830,000,000 bushels or i: ‘ 187,000,000 bushels less than the w. ; Government August figures. Total d. j > g .crop and carryover last year was ‘ 3,381,000,000 bushels, an average carryover being around 100,000,000 .1 — _ bushels. Corn, when everything is . . j considered, cannot be regarded as ' l ‘ high. In the first place there is about 15 per cent more hogs to feed than last year and latest Government re- ” . ports show 6 per cent more cattle on 1 'l . ' farms on July 1 than was the case ' - g on January 1. In- addition corn . _prices with the known certainty of : ;'a shortage in supplies as compared A“ with last year, are practically the g same as in 1921, so that there is ’, 979,17 incentive to feed heavily.
