TO DETERMINE VALUE OF
MICHIGAN WOODLOTS

HE Department ostorestry of
the University of Michigan is
. sending ,out short and “pie
questionnaires to farmers in some
thirty or fourty counties of lower
Michigan! in an effort to determine
the value of the w'oodlots of southern
Michigan. They wish to ascertain
with some degree of accuracy their
annual returns to the farmers and
their economic position in the wealth
of the state. Their idea in this
study is to obtain sufficient data that
> they may present forcefully the need
of government or state agents to as-
sist the farmers in the handling and
I marketing of their woodlot pro-
ducts, and the care of the woodlot,
in much the same manner that coun-

farm products. You‘all realize the
importance of this work and you will
be helping both yourself and your
neighbor by filling out the question-
naire if you receive one. As soon
as it comes set right down and fill it
out so you can return it by the next
mail.

“The Only Farm Mag-fine Owned and Edited in Michigan”

 

 

' OME five or six months ago it

was estimated that 'we would

g, . handle for 1922 over 100,000
head of livestock. This figure was

not quite reached, although an in-

crease of 18,000head was handled
the second half of the year, or prac-

tically 50% more than from January

to June inclusive thus showing a con-

sistant gain in volume throughout

the year, :and right here is a good

place and time to make the state-

ment that at no stage of the game

were our livestock purchasers made

contingent on having an outlet for

products, as it has always been the

case with the sales department that

din‘lculty existed in filling orders

than in getting the orders, the fact

being we could only cut the garment

in suit—the cloth and purchase what
our available money would buy in

raw materials, consequently limiting
and cramping both the~manufactur-

ing department and sales department

accordingly, to the handling of a

small volume not commeasurate with
available facilities and automatically

creating a situatiou where neither

could operate except on excessive

‘ With the natural healthy progress
of the business, coupled with full and
complete co-operation of our stock-
holders, this condition will undoubt-
edly show up to better advantage
during the current year.
, All things considered, the results
obtained to date are encouraging and
the figures ‘mentioned below show
this farmer—owned packing company
~ to be more than a. flash in the pan.
’ We have absolutely made good in our
plan of saving to share-holders heavy
marketing expense by absorbing live-
stock out of first hands, as our fig-
ures show but 25% of our livestock
to. have been purchased.in the local
stock yards. No later than last
week one community (where our rep-

reseatation of stockholders is per-
haps larger than any where else in
the state) had live out loads of live
-stock for us and this week they are
back with two more. Previous to
our starting slaughtering operations
all 'the livestock from these same
people was subject to heavy toll in
yardage, commission, insurance and
feed which now are absolutely saved
to them by shipping direct to the
Detroit Packing Company.
75% Direct from Farmers
More power to' their elbows.
Others can, will and do benefit
equally and I personally look for
* largely increased receipts from such
sources as our business becomes bet-
ter known.

Direct purchases.-.$ 1, 5 0 1, 0 9 6.0 9

Total $1,988,739.14

These figures indicate that for
every dollar expended in the M. C.
Stock Yards we, spent four dollars
with the men who would otherwise

'have had to market their cattle,
sheep, lambs and hogs through the
stock yards at great expense to them.
Now "then, if these men saved the

 

yard expense on a volume of business

'exeeeding one and one—half million
dollars, they surely found their af-
filiation with our company to be
worth while.

Figuring the average value of $1-
500.00 per car the $1,501,096.09
bought better than a thousand cars
and consequently saved to the ship—
pers between twenty—five and forty
thousand dollars, in other words it
paid them to this extent to have a
great modern packing plant in Michi-
gan’s metropolis.

Detroit Gains 23% in 1922

Outside of being of direct benefit
financially to its stockholders I con-
sider that the Detroit Packing Com-
pany has materially helped the live-
a stock interests of Michigan as a
whole by not only our campaign of
education which has carried over
several years and will never stOp,
but also by supporting the local stock
yards and helping to establish a bet-
ter market in Detroit for Michigan
livestock. Perhaps the commission
men in the yards and other “powers
that be” will hardly consent as free-
ly to my contention as I am to con-
tend, but facts speak for themselves
and it is a fact that 19796 more cat-
tle, 32303 more calves, 4513 more
sheep and lambs, and 74663 mare
hogs were handled through the M.
C. Yards at Detroit during 1922 than
the year previous, the increases be-
ing 23% on cattle, calves and hogs,
with sheep and lambs showing rela-
tively small differences.

Just a word further on livestock:
It is a proven economic fact that the
best is the cheapest and I have seen
so much three cornered, mullet—head-

. basis would

ed, poor-bred stuff and often well-
bred but poorly-fed stuff come into
our yards the past year that I plead
with you as a livestock producer to
mend your ways and make more
money with the same expenditure of
time and effort by handling the right
kind in the right way hereafter.

People Eating More Meat
To aptly illustrate what quality
and condition mean in livestock it is
only necessary to compare purchases
made the same week by us——~steer
cattle, all of them, one lot costing
us under 41140 at the plant while for
some fancy, well—bred and fully fin-
ished cattle we paid close to 120, so
it looks like a three to one betcin
favor of the quality and condition
proposition. Think it over, then do
the necessary to get a good run for
your time, feed and money. .
The per capita. consumption of
meat for the U. S. in 1921 was:

 

 

 

Beef “57.7 pounds
Veal 8. pounds
Mutton ._ 6.3 pounds
Pork _ ..... ~.72.8 pounds

 

Or 144.8 pounds, which seems in
line with reason, as this would mean
but six and one—third ounces per day
for 365 days.

We have Within easy trucking dis-
tance of our plant in Detroit over
two million people who on 1921
consume 115,400,000
pounds of beef, equivalent to about
200,000 cattle; 16,000,000 pounds
of veal, equivalent to about 110,000
calves; 12,600,000 pounds of lamb,
equivalent to about 300,000 sheep
and lambs, and 145,600,000 pounds
of pork, equivalent to about 1,000.-
000 hogs, so you can realize how
even this small percentage of Michi—
gan’s population insures absorption
of all the meat food products of
quality and condition Michigan can
produce.

If You Think You Can Raise Ton of Pork from Litter Here’s Your Chance

F you have harbored the idea that
you know just about as much
about putting fat on a litter of

pigs as the next fellow, here is a
chance for you to test your prowess!

A ton of pork from one litter!

Thats the order and if you can

an it, with any litter to farrow be-
‘tween the first of March and the flf-
teenth of May, 1923, you are right
in line for the suitable prizes to be
awarded by the Michigan Ton Litter
Club at the annual meeting of the
Michigan Swine Breeders usociation
next fall. There is‘ not a pennies
cost for you to nominate any litter
and any farmer in Michigan is eli-
gible to enroll.
Anni-flier is Eligible

“The ideaof a Ton Litter Club is

being taken up enthusiastically by
Michigan pork producers.”, said V.
A. Freeman, of M. A. C. the state
leader of this club. “Most of them
. believe in their own hogs and in their
. ability to make them produce large

litters and rapid gains. The results
of the contest in Indiana, brought
home many facts related to economic
pork production. We believe it will
do the same for Michigan.

“It will demonstrate the value of

large litters raised to weaning age.

It is true that patrons of fairs de—
mandand expect entertainment. At
least a portion of those who attend
go for no other purpose. They also
demand a variety of entertainment
and are willing to 'pay just a little
more than it is worth. But, it is
a, rmistake to believe with Barnum
that “the American people like to be
hu'mbuggedi” Rather, it is better
to believe with Lincoln that “You
Can fool some of the people all of
,the time; all of the people some of

the time, but you can’t fool all\of.

the peopleall of the time.”

01d practices, like old habits, are
hard :to break, and so many fair
managers “kid” themselves into be-
lieving that their patrons continue
to be; enthusiastic about the same
old carnival that they have seen year

ANY Michigan farmers have to
decide this question for them—
selves: “Will my woods yield

me the greatest return if managed
as a sugar bush or if managed to
produce fuel wood, fence posts, and
farm timbers generally?” The ans~
war is, of course, the old one the
one that can be used for almost;
everything—“that depends.” In
this case it depends upon the kind of
woods the farmer has with which
to start. _

Obviously a stand containing but
little maple could not be used as a
sugar bush, and would in that case
as a matter of course be managed for
fuel wood and farm timbers. The
policy being to cut out the poorer
trees for fuel and posts, leaving the
better trees to grow and increase in
value, or if the stand is poor and
straggling to cut nothing till new
growth has come to fill it up.

On the other hand if the woods
consist largely of mature maples,
too big to be easily made into cord
wood, it would without question be
better policy to let them remain
standing and tap them ‘for syrup, or
if they had to be cut to make them

 

-‘ into lumber. a

There are thousands of acres of

0 have or not to have a midway, not only at the Michigan State
Fair, but \Vest Michigan State Fair and the many excellent
county fairs held in this and nearby states is the problem that

is bothering every fair director and manager.

A bill has just been introduccd~ in the Michigan Legislature
which shows that the state, if the midway were to be abandoned
at the Detroit fair alone would have to put up about one hundred
thousand dollars to make up the resultant deficiency.

George \V. Dickinson, who because of his phenominal develop-
ment. of the Michigan State Fair is regarded as the foremost man-
ager in America, does not believe there is any basis for the criticism
of the present midway, which is, in his opinion, clean, wholesome

I would like to knew what is the
best way to vitalise it to the best

advantage? Can I sell it for cement?

What is it worth, where is there a
market for it, is it good as a fertil—
I had
this tested by the State Geoligist,
Lansing, it tested 90% pure and
10% sand—P. F. C., Ithaca, Mich.

. —--As to the commercial possibilities

of marl for Portland cement, it may
be said that this depends largely up-
on the quantity and quality of the
marl available; its location; trans-
portation facilities and markets;
distance from competition, especial—
ly cement plants using limestone;
nearness to suitable clays or shale;
physical conditions for Winning the

marl; and nearness to coal supplies. ’

Small deposits of marl or deposits
variable in chemical composition
have no value from the standpoint
of the cement manufacturer.

Obviously a large deposit of pure
marl would have very little com-
mercial possibilities if located away
from railroads or from cement mar-
kets, or in close proximity to other.
cement plants having the advantage
of lower costs. In short, the value
of a marl deposit for cement manu-
facture depends upon several very
important factors, none of which can
be lacking or deficient to any great
degree without seriously jeopardiz—
ing the possibilities of success.

It may be of interest to know that
we have some 27,000 acres of prOVen
deposits of sufiicient size...depth, and
purity to warrant the use as a source
of cement manufacture; and the
mere fact that but few attempts have
been made during recent years to
utilize any of these deposits is sig-
nificant—13.. A. Smith, State Geol-
ogist.

—«Mar1 is used the same way that
ground limestone is, to correct the
acidity of the soil. It is doubtful
whether you will find a market for‘
it other than the local market, on
account of the extensive marl beds
in Michigan. It is no good as a fer-
tilizer, being used only to correct
acidity. This should be applied as
limestone, preceding a crop—most
generally a legume—and worked
well into the soil before seeding.—

CANNOT COLLECT 0N NOTES

I am a young man of nineteen
years. Without consulting my par-
ents I signed a contract with a cer-
tain school agreeing to take a com-
mercial course by correspondence.
It is stated in the contract that it is
unforfeitable. They hold six notes
against me. Five for $25 each and
one for something over $100. Since
my parents have found out the cir-
cumstances of what I have done they
are dissatisfied. They say that I
should drop the correspondence
course and help them. They need
my help and I now realize that I
should help them first and sincerely
hope that it is not too late. I have
received five lessons from the' school
but am willing to pay for them and
return my contract. What I want
to know is whether they, the college,
can force me to pay the money that
is mentioned in the notes. My

father says that they cannot.4. F., ~

TELEPHONE CODH’ANY CUTS
TREES

Some years ago, I planted walnuts
along my fence inside and the tele-
phone poles are set two feet from
the fence. As. the trees grew up
near the wires the linemen cut the
tops off and destroyed the looks of
the trees and stop the wrangle I
sold the trees and they cut them
down. Since I have heard it was a
crime to cut trees along the road:
this is not a state road. I would
like to know if the telephone com-
pany has a wholesale slaughter right
along the roads and over the fence?
If so farmers should move back.—
J. O. C., Jackson, Michigan. ‘
—Your statement that these walnut
trees were planted some years ago is
so indefinite that it is difficult to tell
what your legal rights are. Previous
to 1899 telephone companies had the
right to trim trees along the high-
ways and they were practically per-
mitted to destroy the trees if in their
opinion the telephone lines were in-
terfered with in any way by the exist-
ence of the trees. In 1899 the legis-
lature passed an Act providing that
telephone companies should have au-
thority to build their lines along pub-
lic highways “provided that the same
shall not injurioust interefere with
or injure any trees located along the
line of such streets or highways."

In the cases of Boland vs. 'Washt’e-

Mich. 315, the court said “When the

it had no statutory authority so to
do, but on thematrary was expressly

guage of the statute.” ' I

The legislature of 1921 by Act 2,
of the Special Session provided that
“It shall be unlawful to cut, destroy,
or otherwise injure any shade or or-
namental tree or shrub growing with-

In reference to the wages set at

pays fifty dollars per year. If elected
could I demand the four dollars per

CANNOT SUE FOR TAX MONEY

A sells a farm to B for $9,000, on
a contract, receiving $2,000 down,
balance to be paid with interest in
annual payments. Some time later
B dies and his estate is taken over

by an administrator and is thus held ‘

so and fails to pay the payment and
interest and allows the farm to go
back by default, and last De-

B during his life, paid the taxes, as
they were assessed to him but the
administrator did not pay the taxes
due December 1922. In order to
avoid return of the taxes and in-
creased charges A paid them when
due. What I wish to know is, should
not the administrator have paid the
1922 taxes, since they were assessed

to B and since the estate was able,

to pay, both in real and personal
property? If so does the fact that

The more rubbing that the pelt

mid-
The
court r o o m
.was stifling; an
“o c c a s i o n a l
breath of air
wandered in thru
the, open Windows, but was a ques-
tionable relief, for it was laden
with the sulphur fumes of the
nearby Mt. Clemens baths. A small
army of newspaper correspondents
was entrenched at long tables sur—

rounding the lawyers, jury and wit- '

nesses. Telegraph boys sauntered
in and hurried out bearing “copy”
for papers far and near. The real-
ization of all this publicity was dis-
tressing to Mr. Ford as he sat in the
witness box. Mr. Stevenson’s voice
is throaty and difficult to under-
stand and frequently Mr. Ford
.could not catch the question put to
him. This was another strain on
the weary witness.

On the day on which he was to
take the stand Mr. Ford wore
to court an old and comfortable
pair of shoes. Now any witness
should be on the alert during cross
exam ation; he should watch the
opposi g attorney much as one
fencer watches another, prepared
for any sudden thrust. That day,

as the questioning droned on, Mr.
Ford let his attention wander. Ab-
sent—mindedly he drew from his-

pocket an old knife, opened it and
began idly to trim a bit of leather
from the edge of the sole of his
shoe. For the moment he was off
'his guard.

It was just the -moment a clever
lawyer would make the most of.
While I cannot quote from the
transcript of the trial, the question
which Mr. Stevenson suddenly shot
at Mr. “Ford was, as I remember it:

“Tell the jury who Benedict
Arnold was.”

,Mr. Ford paused in the whittling
of his shoe sole and looked at the
lawyer, a pained expression on his
face. “Arnold?——-Why, Arnold
was a writer," he replied.

At once trained pencils sped over
the paper of the newspaper men
and the tense silence in the court
room was broken by the clatter of
telegraph boys as they sped away
with more “copy.” In no time at
all newspapers all over the country
were proclaiming that “Henry
Ford says Benedict Arnold was a
writer.” .

“If only you had not said Bene—
dict Arnold was a writer,” groaned
a close friend who joined Mr. Ford
as soon as court adjourned. Henry
Ford sighed. “I thought Steven-
son wanted to know about Arnold
who used to write for us,” he re—
plied. “Don’t you remember him?
He left the office one day saying he
was ill, and that night died of heart
(gsease. Stevenson surely realized
t at I did not catch his question.
He had been asking me about
Delavigne and the other men
who wrote for me. He had asked
me several times about Brownell,
and I thought he was nagging me
about our publicity and advertising
departments.”

Such was the simple explanation
of the Benedict Arnold reply.

“Never mind," his friend con-
soled him. “What does it matter?
It was just a trick to bring out that
you seldom think of history. You

,are too busy with present day af‘

airs. An attorney is hard up when
e has to drag a Revolutionary
War traitor into a twentieth cen-
tury case.”

The Ford lawyers had kept the
testimony of Clinton C. DeWitt,

. head of the Americanization school

at theFord plant, till the last to
give their case an efiective climax.
Mr. DeWitt presented the lessons
which he had been teaching the
foreign-born workers for several
years, lessons which taught them to
become good Am9ricans, taught al—
legiance to the flag, interpreted the
constitution and pictured the an-
archist in his true colors as a peril
to government and people alike.
Mt. DeWitt testified further that he
had arranged the lessons after re-
ceiving direct instructions from Mr.
Ford. who frequently inspected

“ than in outline and who had, dur-
 the last five years, kept in close
t h. with and frequently had at-

against the Tribune. The clerk- of

company, is guilty in manner and

form as the said plaintiff hath in
his declaration in this cause com-
plained, and you assess the damages
of the said plaintiff on occasion of
the premises over and above costs
and charges by him about his suit in
this behalf expended, at the sum of
6 cents’ damages”,  '

The jury acknowledged the ver—
dict as.correct and hurried from the
court room.

Mr. Ford’s main purpose in bring-
ing the suit was to prove false the
accusation of the Tribune that he
was an anarchist. The. newspaper
did not appeal the case.

Few similar suits have been more
widely read or discussed than this.
It made “good reading,” but as re-
ported in many papers the proceed-

“ings gave an utterly false picture

of the complainant. Many of those
who aimed much ridicule at Mr.
Ford could have done no better on
the witness stand. As some nus
later observed: “After all, the
worst that one of the most power—
ful papers in the country could say
against Henry Ford injured him
only to the extent of six cents ”

CHAPTER IX
Henry Ford’s Interesting Personality

The Ford company plant attracts
thousands of visitors, foreign gov-
ernment officials and other distin-
guished travelers as well as plain
Americans. Two hundred thousand
persons have been conducted through
the plant in a year, and in one
month there were forty—eight thou—
sand visitors. Naturally they all
want to see and talk to Mr. Ford
himself; naturally, too, he can re-
ceive only a small percentage of them
if he is to have any time for his
own affairs. One day his callers in—
cluded a European Queen, the Rock—
efeller of China, an ex—president of
the United States, several senators,
two university presidents, a commit-
tee of educators and a California
woman, who had crossed the country
in her Ford roadster.

A staff of secretaries is kept busy
opening Mr. Ford’s mail. Ten thou~
sand letters were received each day
for a considerable time. If he were
to comply with half the requests he
receives for help he would be com-
pelled to close his business. Ap-
pointments are generally made for
him by Ernest G. Liebold, who is
Mr. Ford’s general secretary, to
whom he has delegated great power.
He often acts for Mr. Ford. Mr.
Liebold’s assistant is Frank Camp-

sall, who possesses much ability and
a pleasing personality.» '

It has been said that, Mr. Ford
does not read the’ newspapers, and
that he does not keep ifl touch with
the affairs of the day. Both state-
ments are untrue. Mr. Ford reads
the mornin papers more regularly
than he e 8 his breakfast; he
glances through the noon editions
and the evening papers are always
put by his favorite chair and read-
ing light. He goes through them
carefully. Moreover, he receives
many cartoons and clippings that
refer to him; both favorable and un-
favorable. «

The activities of his experts show
that Mr. Ford is in touch with mod-
ern conditions and needs. His chem-
ical department has perfected a gaso—
line substitute by liquifying gases
that form much as coke is made from
coal. The same department ~has
made tests with a milk substitute
which is purer than the average
cow’s milk and which, it is hoped,
will prove a blessing to many thou-
sands of ailing babies. Mr. Ford
frequently discusses small commun-
ities as industrial centers and many
similar subjects.

It has happened not infrequently.

that persons who never knew Mr.

Ford have drawn freely from their"

imagination to substantiate the claim
that they are familiar with all the de—
tails of his life. A book was written
by a writer with no more foundation
than a few'interviews with Mr. Ford
as he stepped from an elevator or
walked in the park with his wife.
Nearly all the stories of the financial
difficulties of the inventor in the
early daysof his car-making come
from vivid imagination and nothing
else. _,
It « t - t t

At twenty-eight Mr. Ford’s only
son is at the head of the motor plant.
The heir to vast wealth, it would not
be unusual if he devoted much of his
time to golf and other amusements
and spent months at winter and sum-
mer resorts, or, like many another
son of a rich father, let Dad do the
work. Instead Edsel Bryant Ford
is at his desk every morning. Those
who know him well say that he has
his father's genius, enthusiasm and
common sense and his mother’s poise
and that he is a young man of ability
and strength of character.

Edsel Ford was a small child in
the days when his father was strug-
gling to get a start in the automobile
industry, and he naturally has both
love and respect for the great busi—
ness that his father founded and
built up. He had no college educa—
tion, for he was schooled in the fac-
tory; starting in at an unimportant
position he worked his way through

his height about five feet nine inches.

In manner he is friendly and genial"

and although very retiring he is a
delightful conversationalist. He has
traveled much, has inherited a touch
of his father’s keen wit and enjoys
a hearty laugh. Around his home
he whistles like a school boy. He
is devoted to outdoor life, but abhors
hunting. He will not allow any-
thing to be killed on his land,“ not
even the crickets, nor‘will he permit
the servants to drive away birds.
Among his freinds he is known
for his quaint and apt expressions.
With a quizzical glance at a rainy

sky he will remark, “You can’t
change the weather, so change your ~
attitude toward it.” “Pool your

knowledge” is a favorite bit of ad-
vice he gives and a comment famil-
iar to his intimates is, “It takes
pluck not luck, to make people suc-
cessful." One Sunday while he and
Mrs. Ford were attending services
in the Episcopal cathedral in De-
troit Mr. Ford’s car was stolen from
in front of the church.
he laughingly declares that he has
lost interest in ,church services.
And is fond of saying the he "be-
lieves in religion, but he doesn’t
work at it much.” .

His country estate is seven thou-
sand acres was ten miles from De-
troit, but extends almost to what is
now the city limits. There Mr. Ford
lives the year ’round, entertains his
friends and is happy among his birds
and trees. A part of his grounds
extends behind the Dearborn village
school. It is a natural amphithea-
tre, and Mr. Ford has had it cleared
for the use of the school athletic
association. He delights in driving
through the village where his own
boyhood was spent, filling his limou-
sine with boys and girls and' carrying
them off for a picnic in the woods.
For his personal use he generally
drives a small gray closed car—a
Marmon—but he has, of course,
many other. cars, including a “flock
of Fords."

He is a skillful camp fire cook,
and one of his favorite amusements
is a steak broiling contest with some
titled visitor. On such occasions he
personally selects the meat at the
butcher’s. His frequent visitors in-
clude John Burroughs, who died re-
cently, Thomas A. Edison and Har-
vey S. Firestone. These four regu-
larly spent two weeks together
camping or touring, their automo-
biles followed by a “house on
wheels,“ a large motor truck equip-
ped like the prairie wagons in which
the western sheep herders cook, live
and sleep. Mr. Ford and Mr. Fire-
stone, being in the same business,
have many interests in common.
Mr. Ford and Mr. Edison have been
the closest friends for twenty-years.
Both are possessed of many similar
characteristics and have the same
tireless, inventive genlius. Both be-
lieve that “success is one-tenth in-

, spiration and nine-tenths perspira-

tion.” They have consulted each
other in their problems and corres-

' THE IDEAL PEACH
N the first place, 'we should like
to have an Elberta with more
dessert quality and more hardi-
ness. Secondly, we desire a peach
at .Carman time or earlier, with ,e
better shape fer packing than that
variety, with a brighter color and
freestone. Thirdly, we desire a yel-
low freestone variety at that season
and another to follow that one.
Fourthly, a good yellow to follow
Elberta is desirable. Combined in
these must be productiveness, resist-
ance to diseases, hardiness in bud
and lack of irratibility. A big or—
der? Indeed it is, but to get any-
where we must aim high. The ful—
fillment may be long put off, but
must come some day. If we could
get a series of varieties having the
good qualities of Elberta with added
hardiness and quality to extend from
Greensboro time till frost, methinks
the ideal will have been consum-
mated.

 

NEW APPLE IIAB NO CORE
OR SEEDS

PPLES without cores or seeds are
promised by a discovery an-
nounced at Abbotsford, Canada,
the particulars of which have just
been received by the Department of
Commerce from Consul General Hal-
stead. According to the announce-
ment 3. seedless and coreless variety
of Fameuse apple has been developed
which diners but slightly in shape
from an ordinary Fameuse by being
longer and flatter at the ends with
the typical coloring and flavor. Ex-

cept for a slight marking on the,

flesh which outlines the situation of
the core in an ordinary apple, there
are neither core or seeds. The ap-
ples were developed in an orchard at
Abbotsford and the discovery that
they were out of the ordinary was
an accident. They had come from a
new block of Fameuse, about eight
years old, bearing for the first time
in market quantities, which had
been top grafted on Rabka seedlings.
The discovery was made. while grad-
ing for market, but unfortunately no
record was kept of the tree or trees
producing the new fruit and it will
not be before another harvest that
steps can be taken for its commercial
development.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

From the comments on that fifty— '

thousand dollar strawberry it might
be inferred that the price was paid
for a single plant, but such was not
the case. The variety was raised
under contract by a Michigan grower
who produced many thousands of
them, but even at that price was one
to break the record.

The Rockhill, as the new straw-
berry is‘called, was named tram its
propagator, Hem-y Rockhill of Con-
cord, Iowa, who was 14 years in de-
veloping it. The -variety is large,
production of fine quality, and a
vigorous plant maker. Besides these
features it produces a good crop both
summer and tall. It looks now as
though the Rockhill might introduce
a new era in strawberry growing.

Among the new peaches the R0-
chester is deserving of attention. It

'has size and quality, while ripening

soon after the Dewey. If the tree
prove hardy enough, it ought to add
a valuable variety to the list of
peaches for the Great wLakes district.

 

There are several varieties of
quinces, some of large size, but none

Though not remarkable for size, it
has quality. Then the bush-laden
with its golden fruit in autumn, is
not to be passed by as an ornament-

RADIO DEPARTMENT

EDITED BY J. HERBERT I‘Elm

LETTING THE FAMILY HEAR
~ “RADIO”

HE word “Radio” is now used

by» the average person to mean .

either a, radio receiving set or
the broadcasted music, lectures etc.,

that are received on a radio receiving .

set. It is just as well that we can
use such a simple word as that to
mean what we have to say without
using a long sentence for the same
purpose. “ .

“Have you a \radio‘i”—or “How'd
your radio ’work last night?" are
familiar greetings between friends
when they meet on the street min
the store. One neighbor tells of the
wonderful music that he heard while
the Other tries to get a word in edge-
wise to tell of the talk by the French
healer Gone, and so on ’till each for-
gets that they were sent to the store
to buy a spool of. thread or a pound
of coifee. . ~r - -

Yes, radio is getting quite'the rage
now, and each day sees more and
more that it has come to stay. It
is not a passing tad any more than
the automobile is a fad, it has been
used for years in a commercial way
and for study and experiment by the
thousands of American “Amateurs”
raigingin age from 14 to 60.

It has saved ships and aided busi-
ness; it has been a blessing in sick—
ness and emergencies; it has helped
armies to win victories; and now it
has come to be one oi! the blessings
of the new age when the city visits
with the country and singers sing to
multitudes that they never see;
where colleges can instruct students
in their own home; where the sick
can go to church; where markets
come to you, and many. other changes
take place that are too numerous to
mention. The largest blessing is to
the family group.

Let us see what the family can
get out of the radio. First let us
take mother or wife and see what she
will get. There are cooking lessons,
dressmaking lessons, hints on in-
terior decorations, flowers and how
to grow them, hints on the health,
teeth, eyes and hair; children, their
care, education-health and amuse-
ments, in fact everything that you
need to know to give your children
proper care.

Now it’s father’s turn:-—-market
reports, weather and crop reports,
farm hints spraying and care of the
fruit and other crops, disease pre-
vention in animals and crops, scien-
tific agricultural bulletins, business
news, stock and grain market reports
and general news of world and local
state happenings.

Sisterz—How to.dreas, how to do
the hair, latest styles in diiferent
cities and countries, dancing hints,
etiquette, the latest music. 0-
tlve talks and lectures, and many
teither useful and instructive activi-

es.

Brothhrz—Sports, scores of ball
games, hunting information and.
stories of adventure, agricultural col-
lege extension courses, how to make
different things, politics, history,

talks by the President and otherv

noted speakers, time signals and the

WATER [BACKS UP IN TILE

I would like as much information
as I can receive to find a way to stop
k the water of a stream flowing back
i I, > ‘ ' in the tile as follows: We have a low
 place on our farm and a river is near
 . this place. Now we dug a little drain
‘ from this low place to the river in
, e V which we put ‘eight inch tile and
‘ . - _‘ ' where these tile reach the river they
 , are just a little above normal water,
'38 we had to cut through a high
bank on the river. Now we have a
flood gate which rises up and down
with a handle which is all cemented
'in but somehow the water gets by
it so that when the stream rises it
flows back into this low place. Now

What would you advise a young.

29*“ , : _ , ., .
the “electrical and mechanical engin-

eering .prof’essiOns‘ especially mech—
anical engineering? A college— pre-

paratory courseand then a university .

course would take too long for one
without funds wouldn’t it? Isn’t
there some way of working up in
these professions? Why do. some
schools graduate their pupils in less
time than state universities? Is it
a serious drawback in this field to be
a poor penman?——R. J. K., .Suttons

\eay, Michigan.

-—The aims and anfbitions which this
young man has would determine
largely what course might be advis-
able to pursue. It is unquestionably
true that short cuts or ' shorter
courses would be better than no at-
tempt at all at self improvement and,
perhaps some of this work supple-
mented by practical experience along
the line which is desired to develope
would prove very eflective. For the
man who has the ambition and ten-
acity to stay with it, the correspond-
ence school in construction and prac-
tical work has also proven effective
in many cases.

It is very likely that the young

 

iman who starts out in' an”: .o

   
  
 
   

these so-called short cuts will acquire

knowledge of the field to show that.
the more extended course of trainindg;
is desirable,.if it c n be accomplishe .- 

The factor the m tter is that if this

young man is really interested in 
mechanical engineering he will take I -

advantage of any and every oppor-
tunity which will carry him in this
direction. Poor penmanship need
not stand in the way, although if he
is sincere in his ambition in this di-
rection, effort would be made to over-
come this drawback rather than let
it reduce his chances for success.—

(Continued from Feb. 17th issue.)
OANNE did not answer, and Al-
dous stepped outside. He knew
where to find the old hunter. He
had gone up to the end of the timber,
and probably this minute was in the
little box canyon searching for the
grave. It was a matter of less than
a hundred yards to the upper fringe
of timber, and when Aldous came
out of this he stood on the summit
of the grassy divide that separated
the tiny lake Keller had described
from the canyon. It was less than
a rifle shot distant, and on the far—
ther side of it MacDonald was al—
ready returning. xAldous hurried
down to meet him. He did. not
speak vwhen they met, but his com-
lpanion answered the question in his
'eyes, while the water dripped in
streams from his drenched hair and
heard.

 

“It's there," he said, pointing
(back. “Just behind that big black
ll‘OCk. There’s a slag over it, an’
)you’ve got the name right. It’s

Mortimer FitzHugh.”

Above them the clouds were split—
ting asunder. A shaft of sunlight
broke through, and as they stood
looking over the little lake the shaft
\broadened, and the sun swept in
golden triumph over the mountains.
'MacDonald beat his limp hat against
ibis knee, and with his other hand
drained the water from his beard.

 “What you goin’ to do?” he asked.
' Aldous turned toward‘ the timber.
Joanne herself answered the ques-
tion. She was coming up the slope.
iln a few moments she stood beside
them. First she looked down upon
’the lake. Then her eyes turned to
Aldous. There was no need for
speech. He held out his hand, and
without hesitation she gave him her
own. MacDonald understood. He
iwalked down ahead of them toward
ithe black rock. When he came to
,the rock he paused. Aldous and Jo-
!anne passed him. Then they, .too,
stopped, and Aldous freed the girl’s
hand.

With an unexpectedness that was
startling they had come upon the
grave. Yet not a sound escaped Jo-
anne's lips. Aldous could not see
that she was breathing. Less than
ten paces from them was the mound,
protected by its cairn stones; and
over the stones rose a weather-stain-
ed slab in the form of a cross. One
glance at the gravel and Aldous riv—
eted his eyes upon Joanne. For a
full minute she stood as motionless
as though the last breath had left
her body. Then slowly, she advanced.
IHe could not see her face. He fol-
-lowed, quietly, step by step as she
imoved. For another minute she
leaned over the slab, making out the
fine-seared letters of the name. Her
body was bent forward; her two
[hands were clenched tightly at her
[side Even' more slowly than she
had advanced she turned toward
Aldous and MacDonal‘d. Her face
was dead White. She lifted her
hands to her breast, and clenched
them there. ' ‘

“It is his name,” he said, and there
was something repressed and terrible
in her low voice. “It is his name!“

She was looking straight into the
eyes .91 John Moustache“ that

1y she came to him, and her two
hands caught his arm.

“It is terrible—what I am going
to ask of you,” she struggled. “You
will think I am a ghoul. But I must
have proof! I must—I must!” ,

She was staring wildly at him,
and all at once there leapt fiercely
through him a dawning of the truth.
The name wasthere, seared by hot

Behind them MacDonald had
heard. He towered beside them now.
His great mountain-twisted hands
drew Joanne a step back, and strange
gentleness was in his voice as he
said:

“You an’ Johnny go back an’
build a fire, Mis’ Joanne. I’ll find
the proof!”

“Come,” said Aldous, and he held
out his hand-again. ‘

MacDonald hurried on ahead of
them. When they reached the camp
he was gone, so that Joanne did not
see the pick and shovel which he
carried bacn. She went into the
tent and Aldous began building a
fire Where MacDonald’s had been
drowned out. There was little rea-
son for a. fire; but he built it, and
for fifteen minutes a-i-Jed pitch-
heavy fagots of storm—killed jack—
pine and spruce to it, until the flames
leapt a dozen feet into the air. Half
a dozen times he was impelled to
return to the grave and assist Mac-
DOnald ‘in his gruesome task. But
he knew that MacDonald had meant
that he should stay with Joanne. If
he returned, she might follow.

He was surprised at the quickness
with which MacDonald performed his
work. Not more than half an hour
had passed when a low whistle drew
his eyes to a. clump of dwarf spruce
back in the timber. The mountain-

 

eer was standing there, holding
something in his hand. With a
backward glance to see that

Joanne had not come from the tent,
Aldous hastened to him. What he
could see of MacDonald’s face was
the lifeless colour of gray. ash. His
eyes stared as if he had suffered
a strange and unexpected shock.
He went,to speak, b no words came
through his beard. In his hand he
held his faded red neck-handker-
chief. He gave it to Aldous.

“It wasn’t deep," he said. “It
was shallow, turribly shallow, John-
ny--—just under the stone!”

His voice' was husky and un-
natural.

There was something heavy in

the handkerchief, and a shudder
pa‘ssed thru Aldous as he placed
it on the palm of his hand, unveiled
its contents. He could not repress
an exclamation when he saw what
MacDonald. had brought. In his
hand, with a. single thickness of the
wet handkerchief between the ob-
jects and his flesh, lay a watch and
a. ring. The. watch was of gold. It
was tarnished, but he could see there
were initials, which he ,could not
make out,,engraved 6n the back of
the case. The ring, too, was of gold.
It was one. of the most gruesome
ornaments, Aldous had ever seen.
It was in the form of a. coiled ser-
pent, wide enough to caver half cf
oncls middle“ finger .- between the
idiots. Asa1n*‘.the eyes of

was as acute .in its opposite .

at the tent—flap that had dropped
behind Joanne. Only a flash he had

      
  

  
    
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
 
   
   
  
  
 
  
  
 
   
 
  
 
    
  
  
   
  
 
  

waif;

of .her face; but in that flash he had ‘
seen the living, quivering .joyousness a
of freedom blazing where a. moment V ;
before there had been, only horror .
and fear. As if ashamed other. own

betrayal, Joanne had darted into the
tent. She had answered. his ques-
tion a thousand times ,.more:,efiective-
1y. than if she had remained to tell
him with her lips that.MacDonald.’s ,
proofs. were s-uflicient—that.‘ the *
grave in the little box canyon had, not
disappointed her- , She had recog-
nized the ring andwatch; from them
she had shrank in horror, as if fear-’
ing that the golden serpent might
suddenly leap into life and strike.

In spite of the mightiest efforts
she might have made forself=control
Aldous had seenfin hertense and
tortured face a look that was more
than either dread or shock—it was
abhorrence, hatred. And his last
.glimpse of her face had revealed
those things gone, andin their place
the strange joy,,she had, run into the
tent to hide... That she should re- ‘
joice over the dead, onthat the grim ]

W ‘

relics from the grave should bring
that new dawnninto her .‘face and
eyes, did not strike him..,as,shocking.
1n Joan-nehis sun had already begun
to rise and set. “He had; cemeto
understand..that for =-h.er,the grave
must hold, its. dead; .that the fact of ‘:

death, .death_under the .slab that ‘ v-
bore Mortimer FitzHugh’s name, * i .
meant life for her, just as it meant

life and all things for him. He had ‘

prayed for it, even while he dreaded } -
that it might not be.. In him all ‘
things were 'now submerged in the .
wild thought that Joanne was free,

and the grave had been the key to

her freedom. ‘

A calmness began to possess him ,
that was in singular contrast to the ' '
perturbed condition of his mind a
few minutes before. From this hour
Joanne was his tO‘fight for, to win
if he could; and, knowing this, his

,‘Soul rose in. triumph above his first

physical exultation, and he“ fought
back the almost irresistable impulse

of it. He was sure, without» seeing,

' an; filled with‘ the determination to

make her believe that the events of
the morning, both with him and Mac-
Donald, were'easily‘fergotten.- .

He began to whistleflas‘ he threw
back the wet canvass from over the
camp outfit thathad been taken from
.Pinto's back, Intone of the two
cow-hide panniers he «saw that
thoughtful old Donald had packed
materials for their dinner, as well as
utensils ’. necessary for its prepara-
tion. That dinner they would have
in the valley, well beyond the red
.mountain. »- He began to repack,
whistling cheerily.

He was still whistling when Mac-
‘Donald returned. He broke off
sharply when he saw the other’s face.

"What’s the matter Mac?” he
asked. “You sick?"

“It weren’t pleasant, Johnny.”

Aldous nodded toward the tent.

“It way—beastly," he whispered.
"But we can’t let her- feel that way
about it, Mac. Cheer ups—and let’s
get 'out of this place. We’ll have
dinner somewhere over in the val-
lay."

They continued packing until only
the tent remained to be placed on
Pinto’s back. Aldous resumed his
loud whistling as he tightened up
the saddle—girths, and killed time in
half a'dozen ways. A quarter of an
hour passed. Still Joanne did not
appear. Aldous scratched his head
dubiously, and looked at the tent.

“I don’t want to disturb her, Mac,”
he said in a low voice. “Let’s keep
up the bluff of being busy. We can
put out the fire.”

Ten minutes later, sweating and
considerably smoke-grimed, Aldous
again looked at the tent. -

“We might cut down a few trees,"
suggested MacDonald.

"Or play leap—frog," added Aldous.

“The trees’d sound more natch-
erel," saidMacDonald. “We could
tell her "

A stick snapped behind them.
Both turned at the same instant.
Joanne stood facing them not ten
feet away. I '

“Great Scott!" gasped Aldous.
“Joanne, I thought you were in the
tent!” I

The beautiful calmness in Joanne's
face amazed himx He stared at her
as he spoke, forgetting altogether the
manner in which he had intended to
greet her when she came from the
tent.

‘.‘I went out the back way—lifted
the canvass and crawled under )ust
like a boy,” she explained. “And
I’ve walked until my feet are wet."

“And the fire is out!”

“I don’t mind wet feet," she hur-
ried to assure him.

Old Donald was already at work
pulling the tent—pegs. Joanne came
close to Aldous, and he saw again
that deep and wonderful light in her
eyes. This time he knew that she
meant he should see it, and words
which he had determined not speak
feel softly from his lips.

“You are no longer afraid, Lady-

 

gray? That which you dreaded—r”
“Is dead,'f she said. “And you,
John Aldous? Without knowing,

seeing me only as you have seen me,
do you think I am terrible?”

“No, I could not thing that.”

Her hand touched his arm.

“Will you go out there with me,
in the sunlight, where we can look
down on the little lake? she asked.
“Until to—day I had made up my
mind that no one but myself would
ever know the truth. But you have
been good to me, and I must tell
you—about myself—about him.”

We found no answer. He left no
word with MacDonald. Until they
stood on the grassy knoll, with the
lakelet shimmering in the sunlight

below them, Joanne herself did not '

speak again. Then, with a little
gesture, she said: " A
"Perhaps you think what is dow
there is dreadful to me. It isn’t. I
shall always remember that little
lake, almost as Donald remembers
the cavern—not because it watches
over something I love, but because
it guards a thing that in life would
have destrdyed me! « I know how

—for‘m'e!”

She spoke the terrible words so
quietly, so calmly, that it was im-

possible fdr him entirely to conceal V

their eifect upon him. There 'was
a bit of pathos in her smile.

‘,‘My mother drove my father
mad,” she went on," with a simple
directness that was the most won-
derful thing he had ever heard come
from human lips. “The world did
not knowlthat he'was mad. It called
him eccentric. But he was mad—in
just one way. I was nine years old
when it happened and I can re-
member our home most vividly. It
was a beautiful home. And my
father! Need I tell you that I wor-
shipped him—that to me he was the
king of all men? And as deeply as
I loved him, so, in another way, he
worshipped my mother. She was
beautiful. In a curious sort of way
I used to. wonder, as a child, how it
was possible for a woman to be so
'beautifuL It was a dark beauty—a
recurrence of French strain in her
English blood.

“One day I overheard my father
tell her, if she died, he would kill
himself. He was not of the passion-
ate, -over—sentimental kind; he was
a philosopher, a scientist, calm and
self-contained—and I remembered
those words later, when I had out-

'1! I sue runes rims-1:

grown-childhood, as one of a hundred
proofs of how devoutly he had loved
her. It was more than love, I be—
lieve. It was adoration. I was
nine, I say, when thing‘s happened.
Another man, a divorce, and on the
day of the divorce this woman, my
mother, married her lover. Some-
where ‘in my father's brain a single
thread snapped and from that day
he was mad—mad on but one sub-
ject; and so deep and intense was
his madness that it became a part
of me as the years passed, and to-
day I, too, am possessed of the mad—
ness. And it is the one greatest
thing in the world that I am proud
of, John Aldous!”

' Not once had her voice portrayed
excitement or emotion. Not once
had it risen above its normal tone;
and in her eyes, as they turned from

the lake to him, there was the tran-

quillity of a child. ‘

“And that madness,” she resumed,
“was the madness of a man whose
brain and soul were overwrought in
one colossal hatred—e hatred of di-
vorce and the laws that made it pos—
sible. It was born in him in a day,
and it lived until his death. It turned
him from the paths of men, and we
became Wanderers upon the face of
the earth. Two years after the ruin
of our home my mother and the man
she had married died in a ship that
was lost at sea. This had no eflect
upon my father. Possibly you will
not understand what grew up be—

We were

v.“I recall, as I became older, how
his hatred for that‘thing that had
broken our home developed more
and more strongly in me. His mind
was titanic. A thousand times I
pleaded with him to employ it in the
great fight I wanted him to make—-
a fight against the crime of divorce.
I know, now, why he did not. He
was thinking of me. Only one thing
he asked of me. It was more than
a request. It was a command.
this command, and my promise, was

- that so long as I lived—no matter

what might happen in my life—I
would sacrifice myself body and soul
sooner than allow that black monster
of divorce to fasten its clutches on
me. It is futile for me to tell you
these things, Joh-n Aldous. It is im-
possible-—you cannot understand!”

“I can," he replied, scarcely above
a whisper. “Joanne, I begin—«to un-

And still without emotion, her
voice as calm as the unruffled lake
at their feet, she continued:

MICHIGAN FARED BETTER
BE farms of Michigan produced crops to
the approximate value of $215,000,000,
in 1922, an increase of 17 per cent over
1921 when the valuation dropped to $18k
004,000.

Each grain crop, sugar beets, beans and
clover seed showed a higher price on De-
cember 1 this year than one year ago. All
crops except winter wheat, buckwheat, pota-
toes and wild hay gave a larger monetary
return per acre this year than last.

The principal encouraging factors are
the diversified nature of Michigan’s crops
and the high degree of development of the
State’s dairy industry, which have given its
farmers a much stronger economic position
than occupied by many of the other corn
belt states, especially those which have suf-
fered from the distress caused by inflated
land values.

The combined yields of all crops in the
State were 7.4 per cent better than the aver-
age of recent past years. Only four other
important states fared as well this year.

Bay was relatively the best crap of the
year, although corn, potatoes, clover seed
and most of the fruits yielded above the
average. The poorest crops were winter
wheat and rye, although, for the State as
a whole, these were fair both in yield and
quality.

All main crops were larger in volume
thanlastyearexceptcormryeandsugar
beets, and had a greater total value except
potatoes, sugar beets and clover seed.—An-
nual Summary, 1922, U. 8. Dept. of Agricul—
ture, Jan. 6, 1923.

HELPING DBOWN THE FARMEB WITH
. CREDIT
E Senate Committee on Banking and Cur-
‘ ’ rency has reported out two bills, called
Rural Credits Bill. The “Capper Bill" re-
tains the power in the Federal Reserve Board,
which, through denial of credit to farmers and
discrimination in granting of credit helped ruin
farmers, to continue this life and death policy.
It specifically provides that the regulations of
the Federal Reserve Board shall be designed to
insure that notes drafts, etc., drawn or issued,
shall be a part of a program of orderly marketing
of such agricultural products “and not for specu—
lative holding of such products.” Naturally.
when the Federal Reserve Board wants to
break farmers, it can charge that they are holding
crops for speculation and deny them all credit.
The Capper Bill, like the Strong Bill in the
House, amending the Federal Farm Loan Act,
permits a. loan of $25,000 by the Farm Loan
Bank to any one borrower while the ‘present
maximum is $10,000. This is clearly an invita-
tion to uneconomic speculation in farm lands,
which has, been a serious injury to real pruduc-
ing farmers.
The Lenroot Bill (IS-4103) combines a personal
or productive credit system with the long term
or mortgage credit system in the Federal Farm

I: Loan system, although the United States Com-

mission to investigate rural creditsabroad rec-
mmow the long term and short 'term credit \
‘jf cm is:- fsrmers should be kept regretted,

    

be-V [weight whichiwlli penalise th ed,

 
  
 

  

 mmnm. name kimono”:
1 _Tribune‘," recently headed

goes on to say:

“Congress is busily approving measures de- , '

signed for the purpose of pulling the farmer
out of the financial slough in which he has
been struggling for two years or more.
Without going into details of the methods of
extrication thus oflered, it is clearthat most
of the proposals are artificial. Mostly they
provide for increase of extenfiiou. of, credits
to farmers or potential customers who might
buy farm produce at higher prices. Under
easy conditions of credit a farmer who needs
a new tractor or a new silo can borrow and
provide himself with them. Perhaps he
could also hold his crop over a few months
for an improved market, which might or
might not develop. In any event his future
would depend upon the demand and con-
sequent prices for his product. He would
be certain of nothing except the debt thus
incurred. The government or banks would
be certain of nothing except responsibility
for public or popular funds so loaned."

“It is economically impossible thus to sub-
sidize a basic industry. The farmers admit,
especially around election time, that theirs
is a, basic industry. It is. The country
cannot live without it. But if it is to be
subsidized, where is the money to come from
to subsidize it? For a. year or two we may
take it by taxation from capital. When
capital is thus used up we would have Rus-
sia, alike in Wall street, La Salle street,
and on the Iowa prairie, That would be the
end of subsidy unless we took the money
from the basic industry of farming and gave
it back to the farmers.”

“The farmers are holding up the world.
We cannot exist without food. That being
true, the world cannot reach down and put
a new foundation under the feet of this ag-
rarian Atlas. Our American life and civili-
zation now rests upon» the farm, assisted by
coal, iron, and copper. All the means of
subsistence comes out of the ground. It is
obviously impossible to take ’a part of this
production, turn it into money through tax-
ation, and with it restore to the earth a
greater measure of wealth than we have ex-
tracted.”

“The farmer wants a better balance be-
tween the prices he gets for his produce and
the prices he pays for his necessities. We
do not blame him for that. But the assist-
ance offered cannot accomplish that, unless
through inflation of currency. It thus the
farmer could pay of! his debts of dollars
with 50 cent pieces he might enjoy it. Even
that would be only a “shot in the arm.”
He’d awake with'a parched tongue, a fever,
and a craving for more.”

“Political spellbinders who have been

“kidding” the farmer have been giving him
the legislation they persuade him he wants,
not the help he needs. They gave him the
present tariir, preventing the importation of
hogs and corn into Illinois, for instance, be-
cause the farmer wanted it._ And so the
farmer agreed to the tariff which prevents
the importation of German or British manu-
factured goods into this country. Germany
and Britain, are being unable to sell here,
cannot buy here. The former has no com- .
petition from Canadian wheat, and he pays
for that independence by a sacrifice of for
eign markets.” ,
"He has been, and is being, “kidded” by ex-
perts. Perhaps the next constitutional
amendment should be one making an exam-
ination in rudimentary economics 9. condi-
tion for the seating of any member of con-
vgress."

Farmers perhaps are being “kidded,” but
business farmers, are_not listening to political
spell-binders or if they are they are only smiling
at their antics. They are not going into further
debt Just because credit maybe easier, unless
they know how in their business they can use
that money to bring them in more when the
harvest comes. The business farmer only asks
the same credit which is extended every other
line of manufacturing business. He must be able
to -hold his produce until he can market it at
a profit. He does'not ask a subsidy, but be-
cause his is the largest business in America,

no single source of capital, except the govern-.

ment itself, is prepared to meet his credit needs.

 

TH]! GASOLINE TAX

Our gasoline bill for 1922 averaged 812 per
month, so if the price averaged twenty cents per
‘gallon, we burned sixty gallons of gasoline, which
at a tax of one cent per gallon, would cost us
sixty cents per month or $7.20 per year. I

gasoline in their business, they will have to speak

MORE MILLING THAN FICTION!

HE eyes of the world were riveted on an is-

land that lays midway in Lake Michigan

and is a part or our own state, two weeks
ago. Ice-bound, by great bergs that had jammed
and frozen in an unsurmountable and impass-~
able mass, lay Beaver Island, famed as the one-
time empire of that Mormon king, Strung. .

On the island lay in agony a woodman, whose
leg' had been crushed between the mighty logs
they are felling. With no medical assistance
nearer than the mainland and that succor im-
possible for humans to reach over the interven-
ing miles of broken ice, he was doomed to a
painful death. '

Then stepped into the arena to combat age—
old nature, which for centuries has scoffed at
puny man; modern science. First, propelled by
tiny batteries, electric waves flashed through
space and carried the message to similarly tuned
instruments, hundreds of miles away, "8.0.8." it
cried," “a. human being lies here in distress!" '
Human ears listened and human] hearts quick-
ened to the rescue of their kind.

Wires tingled from Charlevoix on the mainland
to the Commander of Selfridge Flying field, there
is one way and only one way to reach ‘Beaver
Island over the ice and thus to carry. medical
aid to the amicted woodsman. The air altered
no barriers to man. .Within a decade man has
conquered almost the last'natural force that de-
fied his ingenuity. He has sprouted wings and I
taken to the element from whence the eagle had
for so long looked down in pity on the two-legged v
animal chained to earth. '

Within 0. few minutes after the messages had ‘
been exchanged, a giant bird, with a man on its '
back, was soaring straight over village and farm
at the rate of a hundred miles per hour, towards .
the afflicted human on the ice-bound island.

Soon a blizzard of snow was whirled back ~
from the propellers into the aviators visors. The
first plane had to alight far frOm its destination,
but no sooner than was this message relayed‘back
to the field, than another plane had taken to its
wings. A stop at Charlevoix for the doctor, a.
dash through the air that laughed at the noun-
tain crags of ice below and modern science was
at the bedside of the stricken human.

Jules Verne might have written this story from
the imaginations of a wierd brain a hundred and
fifty years ago. He wrote no stranger tales, nor
none that would have causedmore smiles from
those who pointed to him as “the man who ‘was
a bit queer!" " ‘- '

Fiction is fast becoming obsolete, because the
news of these days is more thrilling.

"I want to warn the readers
against buying any spectacles from
strangers traveling on the roads.
Two men came along here and fright-
ened a woman into buying two pair.
She needed the one pair, but he told
her and her husband she had a cat-
aract coming on her left eye, and
manipulated his tools so that they
really believed she had and»told her
she needed one pair to see off and
it would straighten the‘leit eye so
that cataract would not grow. They
finally bought the two pair and paid
$10 per pair, more than they are

‘worth 'The one pair to read with
are 0. K., and the other pair lays in
a' bureau drawer of no use to her or
anyone, as she has no cataract. Bo
beware. The men gave a Detroit
address, and letters addressed to
them there were returned."—Mrs. G.

SIMPLE METHOD
OF SMOKING MEAT

 

By L. D. Johnson

In a few minutes anyone can smoke
a season’s supply of meat without
bother or loss. The secret is in using
Wright’s Smoke, which may be ap-
plied quickly, easily and cheaply with
a brush or cloth. W‘right’s Smoke is
made of smoke from selected hickory
and gives a delicious flavor. It saves
20 pounds in every 100 by prevent-
ing shrinkage. If you want delicious
smoked meat, at less cost and less
trouble, use Wright’s Smoke. A big
bottle costs but little at any drug
store. To sugar—cure meat, simply
mix 27 pounds of salt with Wright’s
Ham Pickle. This costs little and
will cure a barrel of meat perfectly,
without trouble or loss.

Send your name to the E. H. Wright
00., 850 Broadway, Kansv“ City, Mo.,
and yen will receive, free and post-
paid, a new $1 book, “Meat Produc—
tion on the Farm,” which tells how
to cure every kind of meat. This $1

potatoes here in south Georgia, I
found that they were very-scarce and
were piled up in the windows as
they in the north pile up oranges and
they sold for from 3 to 5 cents a
pound. They are good potatoes but
scarce and this thought came to me.
Why could not the Michigan growers
ship their potatoes south? I believe
there would be a ready market for
them in the winter months. There
are some grown here but not enough
for the winter and there isa growing
demand for them for the southern
people are beginning to use them
more and more each year. 'They
plant them here in January and Feb-
ruary but do notharvest them till
May. Then it is hard to keep. white
potatoes long here on account of the
warm weather, they rot easily. Our
Navy beans are not found in any of
the stores here. /The southern cook
does not know how to prepare them
for the table and if they were sacked
and the directions on how to cook
them put on the sack, they too might
become a southern dish as now it
is hardly known at all. Only a few
buy the canned baked beans—Mrs.

THINKS FRIDAY FAVORS THE
DISTRIBUTORS

HAVE been a subscriber of the

M. B. F., since the first issue and

think the paper deals with prob-
lems of the day squarely. I have
been reading Dr. Friday’s talk on
milk and from the farmer’s stand-
point think him very much in favor
of the city people. Here in your
issue of February 3rd, in part say-
ing: whereby the farmer will be pen—
alized for over-production in the
wrong season. Now just as though
we could change our flow of milk in
a fortnight like Ford could his autos.
It takes 3 to 6 years to raise a heifer
calf to a producer, then about one-
third are not suitable to keep as
profit makers. The $3.00 per cwt.
looks good but following the line
back, 400 off for hauling from Adrian
to Detroit, Adrian price $2.60.

I pay 20c from my farm to Adrian
leaving $2.40 and then last but not
least the test goes down to 3 per cent
or 3.2 taking about 200 more off,
netting me $2.20. Possibly my cows
are boarders, if so, I have neighbors
in like situation. I pity the guy
paying 14c per quart. Where I only
got 4 2—5c per quart, it costs a dif-
ference of 9 3-5c get our product to
the consumer.——Porter McLouth, Le-
nawee County, Michigan.

 

AMEND THE COVERT ACT

N your issue of December 9th, our

I mutual friend and good roads

booster, H. S. Earle, asks “Will
gasoline tax solve the highway prob-
lem?” and then proceeds to answer,
“No” to his question. Perhaps he is
right. But first what is the high-
way problem? Is it not,
other question of taxation, the prob-
lem of levying the cost in fair pro-
portion to the benefit derived, tak-
ing into consideration, too, the abil-
ity to pay?
problem is correct, let us ask first
if the present law levies the cost of
road construction in fair proportion
to the benefit derived?

As I understand the operation of
the Covert Act, under which most
of our improved roads are now and
must be hereafter constructed, it
assesses'flrst a proportion of the cost
of the road on the abutting property
and such other property in a district
as will receive direct benefit from/the
{road to be built. This proportion, I
believe, is twenty-five per cent. Then
the township in which the road is
situated is assessed for twenty-five
percent, and the county for the bal-
ance, the county receiving about half
of its assessment backfrom the state,
as an award. So it actully works
out about on the basis of twenty-five
per cent on the road district, twenty-
flve per cent on thertownahip, twenty-
‘flve per cent on the countyy and

first in the district. but also. inilthe
township, the county and the state,
and is therefore taxed in'four dif-

ferent places. Is the quadruple tax
on the farm a fair proportion on the
cost of the imprOvement on the‘basis
of the benefit d'e'rived,‘ as compared
with the proportion paid by the hun-
dreds of automobiles and trucks
which immediately avail themselves
of the good rOads?
Nor does it take into consideration
the ability to pay. We often hear
the argument that a good road in
front of or along side of a farm costs
the owner nothing because the value
of his farm is immediately increased

at least to the extent of the cost of.

the road and often beyond. This is
undoubtedly true, but it does force
the farm owner to make an invest-
ment, and with the present prices of
farm products the farming business
is not in position to make an invest-
ment, and if the present road build—
ing program is continued on the pres-
ent basis of distributing the cost
many farms will have to be sold at
a sacrifice because they cannot». raise

the cash to pay for the investment,

in good roads. )

A gasoline tax alone not only
would not solve this problem—it
would make it “worse. Such a tax
would go directly to the state and
with no more money to pay the
state’s share the State Highway De-
partment and the County Road Gem-
missioners would re-double their ef-
forts to get more and more roads
built, with the consequent piling of
more and more district, township and
county taxes on the farms.

What then is the solution? Let
me ‘offer this—amend the Covert Act
so that the road-district pays from
ten per cent to twenty-five per cent
of the cost of building, the exact
percentage to be determined by the
State Highway Department on the
basis of the average value of pro-
perty by counties. For instance, a
thickly settled, highly productive
county like Oakland or Lenawee
would be assessed tWenty—five per
cent on the road district, while a
thinly settled unproductive county
like Roscommon 0r Montmorenci
would assess the minimum of ten per
cent. Then let the State pay all of
the balance, relieving the road-dist-
ricts of their portion of the present
township, county, and state taxes,
The State to raise all money for
highway purposes by specific taxes
on those who use the roads. Perhaps
a gasoline tax is as good as any to
raise the money, but my opinion is
that along with it there should be an
increase in the license fees on auto-
mobiles. r

The automobile is not paying its
fair share of taxes as compared with
other property. A car costing $1,-
500.00 pays as a license (which is
in lieu of all taxes) about $16.00,

while the same money invested in a"

home or a farm and assessed at two-
thirds of its actual value pays
double that amount in taxes. On
higher priced cars the diflerence is
even greater. -‘ And the little home
or farm does not ask the State to
spend millions of dollars a. year for
improved roads to operate on. Au-
tomobile owners, whether in country
districts or cities want good roads
all over the State, and with but few
exceptions would welcome the oppor—
tunity to pay their fair share of the
cost of the roads.

The Legislature is now in session
and a great deal of talk is being

heard about a gasoline tax, or about ‘»

raising the automobile license, but
I have seen nothing to indicate any
thought of mending the Covert Act,
so as to relieve the farms of any
portion of the present burden. The
property owners, as I see it,vare not
nearly so much interested in putting
more tax on automobiles as in being
relieved of a. part of the burden they
now bear. And the only way to get
less taxes on general property (and
on the farms in particular) for road
purposes is to amend the Covert Act
to distribute the burden more adult-
ably.

In closing I might state that I op-
erate two automobiles and am e

stock-holder and"oiflcer of a corpor-
ation owning and operating 

 

I think not. ‘

THE OTHER MAle sum
TOO many-country folks seem
anxious to condemn the city re—
ceiver for things beyond control.
‘In our 12 years of experience here
in Detroit, it has been our observa—
tion that the , average receiver——
whether on commission or outright

purchase—endeavors ‘ to give the
shipper a square deal, realizing that

Satisfaction with a capital “S” is the '

only means of continued shipments
in fact we might go so far as to
state that 999. out of 1000 dealers
will give the shipper their very best

.- efforts in the handling of his ship-

ment and in some instances give him
more than he is entitled to by market
conditions for the sake of that same
:Satisfaction. ‘ j

We also realize that ‘the country
shipper has actually been stung at
times and these “stings” have been

so advertised by the press that it has,

come to be common impression that
the shipper always gets the raw deal.
“The evil that men do lives after
them, the good is oft interred with
their bones.” How many times does
a shipper write in and say: “That
was a good price you got for me on
that shipment old man?” or write
“We are mighty well pleased with
the service you rendered us on that
shipment.” Not often. The writer
knows from personal experience.
A few years ‘agowhen we were
doing a commission business, we

,handled as much or more poultry

than any two of our competitors in
point of volume. As a Christmas
reminder the house decided to get up
a memorandum book to be distribut—
ed to shippers. Advertising naturally
played some part inlthe'copy and it
was intended that one page should

On the ground floor of the telephone building a man worked
at the test board. It was night; flood had come upon the city:
death and disaster threatened the inhabitants. Outside the tele-
phone building pcople had long since sought refuge; the water
mounted higher and higher; fire broke out in nearby 
But still the man at the test board stuck to his post; keeping up
the lines of communication; forgetful of self; thinking only of the
needs of the emergency.

On a higher floor of the same building a corps of telephone
operators worked all through the night, knowing that buildings
around them were being washed from their foundations, that fire
drew near. that there might be no escape.

It was the spirit of'service that kept them at their work—a
spirit beyond thought of advancement or reward—~thc spirit that
animates men and women everywhere who know that other:
depend upon them. By the nature of telephone service this is the
every—day spirit of the Bell System.

- we; h-shfi

The world hears of it only in times of emergency and disaster.
but it is present all the time behind the scenes. It has its most
picturesque expression in those who serve at the switchboard. but
it animates every man and woman in the service.

Some work in quiet laboratories or at desks; others out on the
"highways of speech." Some grapple with problems of manage-
ment or science; some with maintenance of lines and equipment;
others with office details. But all know, better than any one else,
how the safe and orderly life of the people depends on the System
—and all know that the System depends on them.

Art 1 undorstand tho opcration of
the (‘ovort Act, undor which most

of our improvod roztds aro now and
must ho limroaftor constructod, lt
assossos tirst a proportion of the cost
of tho road on the abutting property
and such other proporty in at. district
as will rcooive direct honciit from the
road to be built. This proportion, I
ltoliovo, is twonty-tivc per cent. ’l‘hon
tho, township in which the road is
situatod is assessed for twenty~flve
por cent, and the county for the bal-
anoo, tho county rccciving about half
of its mmossmont bach from the state,
as an award. So it actully works
out about on the basis of twenty-five
per cent on the road district, twenty—
iivo per cent on the township, twenty—
iive per cent. on the, county, and
twenty~flve per cent on the state.
But let's keep in mind that a. farm
abutting on a. Covert Act road is

 

 

 

tirst in thc district. but. also in tho
township, tho county and the state,
and is therefore taxed in tour dit—
fercnt places. Is the quadruple tax
on the farm a fair proportion on the
cost of the improvmnont on the basis
of the boncfit dorivod. as compared
with the proportion paid by the hun-

drods of automobilos and trucks
which immodiatoly avail thcmsolvcs
of the good roads? I think not.
Nor (loos it tako into considoratiou
the ability to pay. “’0, often boar
tllo argumcnt that a good road in

front of or along side of a farm costs
tho, ownor nothing bccnuse the value
of his farm is immodiatcly incroztsod
at least to the extent of the cost of
tho road and ofton hoyond. This is
undouhtodly truc, but, it docs tort-e
tho farm owncr to make an invcst-
mont, and with the prosont pricos of
farm products the farming business
is not in position to make an invost—
mont. and if tho, prosont road build—
lug program is continued on the pres—
ent basis of distributing the cost
many farms will have to be sold at
a sacrifice because they cannot raise
the cash to pay for the investment
in good roads.

A gasoline tax alone not. only
Would not. solve this problem—4t

would go directly to the stato and

oxooptlons would 'V'v't‘lt'flllle the oppor

cost of tho roads.
'l‘ho Legislaturo is now in sossion
and a great doal of talk is hcing

hoard about a gasoline tax, or about
raising the automobile liconso, but
I have soon nothing to indicate any
thought of amonding the (lovort Act,
so as to rclievo. the farms of any
portion of the present burden. ’l‘ho,
property owners, as I see it, are not
nearly so much interested in putting
more tax on automobiles as in being
relieved of a part of the burden they
now boar. And the only way to get
less taxes on general property (and
on the farms in particular) for road
purposes is to amend the Covert Act
to distribute the burden more equit-
ably.

In closing I might state that I op-
erate two automobiles and am a
stock—holder and oflicer of a corpor—
ation owning and operating three
trucks and five autos in Michigan
and we’ll gladly pay a fair tax on our
machines to have good roads and to

And then comes winter, and snow
which carpets the world with a white

With the coming of spring the world

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Nedz—How are you?
I am feeling fine. I live on a 20-
acre farm. We have one cow, and
three heifers. I am a boy ten years
old on the 12th of February this
year. I go to the Deming Lake
school. I have some skates. I like
to go skating on the ice. We raise
onions, but I don’t like to weed
them, but Daddy said I have got to
wood. I have two sisters. I am the
only boy in the family. I have five
doves and one black rabbit, his name
is Dick. My sister and I raised some
potatoes last fall and we bought our
Christmas presents with the money.
—Lee Beam, R. L Clayton, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned:——Hello every-
body! May I join your merry circle?
I have been a silent reader of the
Children's Hour for sometime. Well
seeing as I have never written before
and you do not know what I look
like maybe you would like to know.
I will describe myself. I am 4 feet
D inches tall and weigh "80 pounds.
I am a brunette and have long hair.
My age is between 12 and 16 years.
Who guesses my right age shall re-
ceive a long letter from me. I am in
the eighth grade at school, and I like
to go to school real well. I live on
the banks of the Muskegon river.
about four miles from Bridgeton.
We catch lots of fish in the spring
and summer time. The river is
frozen over now. I have three sis-
ters and two brothers all younger
than myself. My brother and my-
self are the only ones of us that go
to school. We have a_mile and a
quarter to walk to school. We have
just come from sliding dowu hill.

My father has taken the M. B. F.
for some thus and we like it fine.
Well I suppose you are getting tired
ofreadingthissolwillclosewith
a riddle. What will go up the chim-
ney down that won‘t go down the

L. D. Biddle, R. 2, Lakeview, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned:—May I write to
your merry circle? I wrote about a
year ago. My brother makes radios.
He has made ten of them already.
Some large and some small. We
have two serials and two pairs of
receivers. I like to listen to it when
I get time. There are nine people
at our place that listen to it so
that’s why I don‘t often get a chance.
I hope all the boys and girls who
have no radio would get one, because
it is very amusing. Anyway they
are very amusing to me because ours
is so loud. My brother that makes
the radio’s cannot do anything else.
He has tuberculosis of the spine.
He wears a cast. He, his wife and
my nephew stay at our place now.
My nephew is eight months old, he
is very pretty. ’Hls name is Horace
Leander. I'll bet none of my cousins
or even Uncle Ned, had as fast a
cutter ride as I did. A week ago
Last Sunday, my brother hitched the
cutter to his auto (Saxon) We
went on Lake St. Claire. We took
two pictures of the cutter and the
auto. There were four girls in the
cutter and three people in the auto.
Of course I was one of the girls that
was in the cutter. We went at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour.
We sure had a lot of fun that Sun-
day. My sister Iris goes tothe Mt.
Clemens High School. I» am. in the
eighth grade at school. Am four-
teen years old. My birthday is the

25th day of September, have I a;

twin? If I have a twin I wish they
would write to me. Will some of
my cousins write? Will answer all

‘ test. but the Ohio State Fairyknown

as the cleanest exhibition of its

 “kind in the country; has continued,

to make progress. . Ed. S. Wilson,
manager of the Ohio State Fair says,

"‘The Ohio State Fair has no shows

of any kind, no midway or games of
any kind on its grounds. We have

 threeriding devices for the amuse-
‘ment of the children;

also we sell
the novelty privilege andwire jewel-
ry privilege so that patrons may

. V v have the opportunity to obtain souv-

enirs. ' Aside from the sale of these
articlesf'we have eliminated all small

articles from the ground, su¢h as

potato peelers and fountain pens.
Anything sold on the grounds‘must
be sold from space which is sold for
exhibition purposes and no one is
allowed to‘bark or cry their wares.
We try to put on a strictly educa-
tionalshow. ,

“We have the free acts which we
pay for ourselves and which we aim
to have of the highest order. These
are put on in front of the grand
stand and in the coliseum at night
in connection with the night horse
show.

"Our .fair has increased. in at-
tendance and in the class of its at-
tendance and is considered a model
fair. He can see no place at an ag-
ricultural fair for cheap shows,
gambling devices, etc., and consider

that they can do nothing but detract ‘

' from the real purpose of the fair.

\

  
 
 

    

 
    

The class of patrons these exhibits
,would draw would in no wise help
a fair.”

. No Wheels of Glance in Iowa

A. IL Corey, secretary of the Iowa _

State Fair, says, “Practically all the
larger and successful fairs have elim-

' inated gambling devices and ques-

tionable shows. As for the Iowa
State Fair, we have not permitted
a wheel of any kind, doll racks or

. any other kind of such device on

the fair grounds for at least fifteen
years. We do, however, have a mid-
way. The shows are inspected two or
three weeks before a contract is
made. Our midway consists large-
ly of riding devices and a few worth.
the—money shows. I feel safe in
saying that there is no other fair in
the United States attended by so
many‘people from the rural sections.
We provide free music and put on
high class entertainment. We also
have automobile races, but they are
not of a hippodrome character. We
have real copetition in our races.”

It seems that the cleaning up pro-
cess has proved most beneficial to
the Ohio and Iowa State Fairs. At
these great fairs one no longer is
greeted with a blare of discordant
clatter of alleged jazz bands; the
hammering of gongs and the ear
bursting blasts of other noise-Imak-
ing devices in order to attract the
attention of patrons to a semi—nude

parade- of highly painted dames in,

front of a. tent show. They do not
have those kind of shows, or, the

man along with them who slyly‘

winks at the unsophisticated in an
effort to convey to them the idea
that they can see something rich,
rare and racy on the inside. They
have gone back to solid ground,
realizing that the foundation of all
fairs and expositions are constructed
on the agricultural, livestock and
kindred industries, not forgetting
manufacturing and other industries,
or the fact that good entertainment

and good sports should not be 110- r

We can avoid colds by employing a
‘bit of the same common sense which
we all probably possess but which we
often neglect to use. This is the
time of year when colds are most
prevalent and most serious in their
consequences often developing into
pneumonia and serious bronchial
troubles. Let us then refresh our
minds with a few don’ts and do’s in
regard to this really serious and con—
tagious malady.

A generation ago a prominent doc-
tor was asked by a lady how he
treated a cold and the answer was,
“With contempt, Madam.” Well
that day is past——now we treat a
cold with proper respect and a few
remedies knowing that with such
treatment it may prove quite harm—
less.

Here are a few very pertinent
don’ts.

If you want to take cold,

Keep your windows shut.

Avoid drafts as if they were a
pestilence.

Take no exercise between meals.

Bathe seldom, and in warm water.

Wear heavy flannels, chest—pro-
tectors, abdominal bandages, and
electric insoles.

. Have no heat in your bedroom.

‘ Never let anything keep you away
from church, the theatre, or parties,
in winter.

Never go out—of-doors when it’s
windy, or rainy, or wet underfoot,
or cold, or hot, or looks as if it was
going to be any of these.

Be just as intimate and affection-
ate as possible with every one you
know who has a cold. Don’t neglect
them on any account.

But if you don’t then just remem-
ber that if we keep ourselves vigor-
ous, clean and well ventilated, we
can defy that cold devil and all his
works. Keep the system well flush-
ed by drinking at least two quarts of
water daily between meals. one
glass of cold water at a meal 13
enough for any one, more, chills the
stomach and retards digestion. Keep
the lungs healthy and blood pure
with fresh air, not necessarily cold
air, fer the cold chilly dampness
found in the air of a guest-room
closed for the winter is full of germs
and exceedingly dangerous. There
was an old rhyme which went this
way, “When a draft blows thru a
hole, make your will and mend your
soul.” We now know that a “draft”
of fresh, pure air is going to give us
vigor, physical as well as mental.
There is nothing more stupefying
than a close, stufiy atmosphere.

If your child develops a cold when
the weather is mild keep him play—
ing out-of—doors by himself but if
stormy and severe keep him in a sun-
ny, well ventilated room by himself,
for a few days, he will soon recover
and the rest of the family will es-
capes Give him plenty of warm,
easily digested food, eggs, broths,

’ and milk and fruit for laxative pur-
poses. This same treatment is just

 as good for us grown-ups-.

You who are weary of sorrow and

A hope for me and a hope for you.

should be straight and relaxed. The

The step long and easy with a swing,

striking the foot first on the heel »

Walking is becoming a lost art
and it is one of the finest exercises
in the world. The automobiles are
largely accountable for it and are
the cause of the shortening of the

'lives of_many thousands of Ameri-

Everyone should walk at least four

pillOw cases and take just as much
care with them. as if I had pillow
tubing. Some I, put lace on. I make
aprons for myself, also every-day

underskirts, children’s panties and
underwaists. My neighbor even
makes sheets of them. They make

fine picnic spreads, something nice

things are spilled which always hap—

Another help is that I put my two
little girls in play skirts for summer.
I make them out of khaki cloth. In
the warm weather they don’t need
anything else on. This of course
saves washing.

I found when I have trouble with
starch sticking on the iron, it can be
helped by putting white laundry
soap in the starch. Just take the bar
of soap and swing it around in the
hot starch, it also makes the cloth
glossy.

I have canned sausage and I al—
ways make it in little pats, and pack
it in two-quart syrup pails, seal over
with lard, leaving a space in the top
of the pail, place a white cloth on
top and pack in salt. This seals it

tion was held in the Agricul-
tural Building at. the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College, January 315E

Grand Rapids, in the chair.

The President‘s address outlined
a broad program of work for 1923
under the new co-operative arrange-
ment with the Dairy Extension De-
partment of the College by which
Mr. James G. Hays is employed as

made to reorganize the county asso-

definlte lines of constructive work
under the county manager plan, and
to organise counties where associa-
tions are not already in the' field.»

Earl J. Cooper, Extension Repre-
sentative of the Holstein-Freisian As-
sociation of America, discussed the
calf club program, illustrating many
phases of club work with lantern
slides. Following Mr. Cooper's talk
Mr. D. D. Aitken donpted $100.00 to
pay special calf prizes for the past
year, and a resolution was passed
endorsing the calf club program and
pledgingr support throughout the
state.

Professor 0. E. Reed, of the Dairy
’Husbandry Department of the M. A.
C., addressed the meeting, discussing
the work of the Dairy Department
and the co-operation with the Michi-'
gan Holstein-Friesian Association
through the employment of s. Hol-l
stein Specialist, Mr. James G. Hays,‘
whose time will be devoted to Hol-
stein matters. Mr. Hays will .be
available to assist county Holstein
organizations and will help organize
calf clubs, bull associations, and cow
testing associations.

After considerable discussion, the
dues were changed to $2.00 per year
and the Board of Directors was re-»
duced from fifteen to nine members,
to be elected for one year.

Officers were elected as follows:

President, E. L. Smith, Adrian;
Vice~President, W. R. Harper, Mid-
dlesville; Directors: E. L. Smith,

Resolutions were adopted endors-
ing the five—year program for bovme
tuberculosis eradication as outlined
by the livestock breeders’ conference
and urging the passage of bills be—
fore the legislature to provide funds
for the campaign, and endorsing the
filled milk bill now before the legis-
lature.

DEFICIENCY OF MINERAL MAT-

TER AND BULK IN RATION ,

I have a Poland China sow, 4
months old, that has been in perfect
health up to about a week ago, when
I fed her one day, she just started
to take her feed when she had a sort
of convulsion or fit, fell on her back,
with legs stiff and trembles all over,
for perhaps 5 to 8 minutes, then she
got all right and went to eating,
giving a sort of squealing and grunt-
ing noise. She is getting poor, and
has had the same thing every time I
feed her since. No black teeth, quar-
ters clean, but is in a small pen and
does not get a great deal of exercise.
Pen is about 10x10 feet. Can you
tell me the trouble and give a rem-
edy? She has had corn, ground corn,
oats, wheat and rye, mixed with'skim
milk or water for slops, have’been
feeding 8 or 8 ears of whole corn per

.day.~—A. L. W., Brighton, Michigan.

-—-From the symptoms which you de-
scribe and the ration you are feeding,
I believe that this sow is suflering
from a deficiency of mineral matter
and bulk in her ration, also from a
lack of exercise.

'~ I would, by all means, advise turn-

ing her out for exercises each day,
or better still giving her the run of
a barn yard. Likewise, give her ac-
cess to some clover or alfalfa hay and
keep a mineral mixture before her
at all times.

Unless some skim milk is available
to feed regularly, it would be well
to feed a small amount of digester
tankage or oil meal in her ration
when skim milk is not at hand. If
tankage is being used, about one
part tankage for each ten parts of

the grain which you have would be ,
If oil meal was being 1
used, about one-seventh of the ration ;
might well consist of the oil mea1.-— '

bandry, M. A. C.

PREVENTING HORNS WITH
CAUSTIC ' 

Please inform me in your nexf
issue , as to how to remove the
horns of little calves with caustic.
or is there anything any better?—~
D. H., Boyne City, Michigan.

-—The use of caustic is perhaps one
of the best methods of preventing
the-growth of horns on calves. The
horns should be killed as‘ soon as
they form a distinct button so that
it can be readily relt.
ually be at about three weeks. of age.

The hair should be removed from
about the horn, the base of the horn
scraped with a knife or other in—
strument, until the serum starts to
ozze out or it becomes moist.
base of the horn should be rubbed
with a stick of caustic until a dis-
tinct ring appears. Ocassionlly with
n experienced operator, a second ap-
plication is necessary although this

‘ is seldom the case. .

The stick of caustic should be
wrapped with a paper and only the
end which is coming in contact with
the horn left exposed, as it will burn
the lingers very severely if not
handled in this way and.should be
kept in a tightly corked bottle when
not used. for if exposed to air, it
dissolves.

Care should be taken not to apply
too much as if any of the material
runs down onto the head, it will
burn the calf’s head and remove the
helix—Prof. ,Geo. A. Brown, Dept.,
of Animal Husbandry, IL A. C.‘

'  TURN cow may
Please let me ,know how long

 

should a person turn a cow dry be-

fore she comes fresh—I. E., Grand
Junction, Michigan.

——A cow’should always be turned
dry at least a month before she

' DE LAVAL
CREAM SEPARATOR
PRICES

A word about De" Laval Cream Separator prices to
prospectlve 1923 purchasers is pertinent at this time.

De Laval prices were reduced last year to practi-
cally the pro-war level, allowing for increased capacity
and other improvements made meanwhile.

This reduction was made in anticipation of a fur-
ther reduction in labor and material costs. The reverse
has happened. Labor and material costs are going up

possible through greatly increased production can
alone permit of their remaining so.

In any event, De [actual prices cannot be re-
may easily have to be advanced at

De Laval machines are even better than ever before,
that dairymg was never more profitable, and that no
one havmg use for a cream separator could ever less
afford to be Without the best or to continue the use of
an inferior or half-worn-out machine.

" ‘ cerned,‘ as well as very, (important in

'the life of the young, calf. . Too

many people . turn ~ the 'cow to the

stalk field or to the back'pasture‘ in
the summer time and at least do not

feed her very well b-eforeshe fresh- '

ens..,A cow should havefull feed
while she is dry and should be fed
about the same feed as she would
normally receive when about half
through her milking period. This
gives her an opportunity to build up
and fleshen up as nature demands. A
cow that is feed well before she cal-
ves and comes in in good condition

will give ‘a higher percentage of but-.

terfat in'her milk than will one in
thin condition. She will “also give
more milk—O.  Reed, Professor
of Dairy Husbandry, M. A. C.

 

DIPPING SHEEP
NE of the most important, requis-
ites in the successful manage-
ment of sheep is that the fleece
and skin be kept a clean, healthy
condition and free from parasites.

The external parasites that often
cause serious lisses are the tick,
louse and scab mite. The tick is a
blood—sucking'parasite. When pres-
ent in a flock, mere feed is required
to Winter the sheep and the quality
of ,the fleece is injured. The louse
is a skin—eating parasite. It causes
the sheep considerable pain and re-
sult in a large proportion of the
wool being pulled.

The scab is a microscopic parasite
that feeds on 'the skin causing a
watery exudate that forms a hard
scab. Under this scab, the mite
feeds and multiplies very rapidly,
causing intense irritation, pulling of
the wool and rubbing the affected
parts, and eventually resulting in
the death of the sheep unless proper
treatment is given.

Sheep can only become infested
with scab through coming in contact
with infested sheep or quarters. The
flock should be dipped immediately
upon discovery of infestation with
scab and the dipping repeated in ten
days. Every flock should be dipped
twice each year to keep the skin and
fleece in a healthy condition as well
as destroy ticks and lice. If the dip—
ping is done as soon after lambing'
and shearing as the weather Will
permit, less dip is required and the
she can be handled easier than at
any other time. After shearing, the
ticks will go from the sheep to the
lambs, 'making it necessary to dip
the lambs. v

Any one of the standard dips on
the market Will prove satisfactory.
At the College, We have ‘found the
coal tar dips especially satisfactory.
The water used in mixing the dip
should be warmed to a temperature
of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and each
sheep held in the solution for two
minutes, the head being immersed
just before leaving the vat—Prof.
George A. Brown, Dept. of Animal
Husbandry, M. A. C.

CAUSE OF STERHJTIY

I have a large cow weighing about
fourteen hundred pounds. This cow
is half jersey and half holstein. She
has a record that I believe not many
cows have. This cow came in with
her first calf in Nov., 1916. She has
not missed one single milking up to
this day. She has had three calves
in the six years, she had her last
call! July 29, 1920 and is giving
eighteen pounds of milk a day now.

I cannot get her with call this
time. She comes in heat every three
weeks and is healthy in every way
so tar as we can see. Is there any-
thing or any way to get her with
calf? She'wo‘uld be worth any two
cows I have if I could‘get her with
calf.——~P. M., Farwell, Mich.

—It is impossible to state the cause
of sterility in a case of this kind
without a personal examination. In-
fection of the cervix or 01 the tuber
or' both might be factors assocoated
with sterility. The fact that this
cow has been giving "milk contin-
uously for over six years without
having a period of rest during ’that
time may be an important factor in
sterility. This cow has certainly
been overworked and overwork is

CAN COMPEL‘ TESTING OF CAT-.

_ Can you give your readers the law
and rulings on tubercular testing-of
cattle? Must we submit our cows
‘ to be tested every 60 days? We are
being told a lot of stuff, I fear is not
' so.
seems like a large problem now in
many ways—W. J. F., Hillsdale‘,
County, Michigan. -.
—The Attorney General has ruled

that the Commissioner of Agriculture -

lin test of any herd of cattle.
power is being-utilized in those coun-
ties in which co-Aoperative tubercu—
losis eradication work is being. con-

ducted. ‘Hillsdale is one of, those

subject any herd to a

test every .60
days.

It is customary, When a herd

is demonstrated to be infected with \’

tuberculosis, to conduct, tests at‘vin-
tervals of six months. 
In Hillsdale county it is possible
that "tests upon some of the infected
herds may be conducted at intervals

LICKING DISEASE on PICA."

My cattle eat on all the old boards

they can get; also rub the root of
the tail till it sometimes makes a‘
scab. What will I do for it? 
Central Lakes, Michigan.
—The cattle are probably suffering
from What is called “Licking Di-
sease” or “Pica” a perversion of the
appetite manifested by a craving for
unnatural food. The affected ani-
mals will gnaw, lick and even eat
objects which they would not touch
in health.

It occurs most commonly among
cattle that are kept stable‘d continu-’
ously and especially during the win-
ter months. The cause of the di-
sease is, not known. The course or.
the disease is chronic at- times ani—
mals show improvement, then getting
worse again. A change of food will
sometimes bring about a. cure.~ The
cattle should be kept in a stable that
has plenty bf good light and"venti~
latlon. If stable is damp that should
be corrected.  '

There is no specific drug for this
disease. Apomorophine given three
times daily for three days in succes-
sion in two or three grain doses has
been much recommended-.w-‘Johnl'P.
Hutton, Asso. Prof. of Surgery and
Medicine, M. A. C. .

, Having'had considerable experi-
ence in renewing alfalfa I wish to
say to in-quirer N. “IS, A. (page 11,
Feb. 3rd issue) that I would leave
the alfalfa. Half a stand will pay
well, and if left you can see- just
- where the bare‘spots are and apply

  
   
  
 
  
  

\ .

to renew the fertility of the soil.

between..April- 1st and August 1st
whenever conditions are right. A
good-time is immediately after cut—
,» ting. If doubtful about results you
' can use white blossom sweet clover
(on account of cheapness of seed)

‘ ' until desired results show. V
' w I had many bare spots on sandy
I soil and cured them all with addi-
tional applications of marl. Use
three to ten yards per acre. Ex—
periments with Sudan grass on these
‘ light gravely ..soils have proven

 
 
 

mostly failures—V. P. Kalamazoo.

 

' ~ SWEET CLovER As FERTILIZER
 » ' I would like to ask through the
V ’ ’Business Farmer if sweet clover is
V as good ‘for fertilizer as barnyard
manure—R. L. M., Breckenridge.

——Sweet clover is a leguminous crop
and when inoculated is able to_make
use of the free nitrogen of the air.
- 'If grown continuously for several
. x years on the same field and plowed
under the nitrogen and organic mat-
‘ ‘ ter of’ the soil should increase. When
 , this organic matter decays it is quite
I likely that additional phosphorus
and potash will be made available.
However, the total supply of phos-
phorus and potash in the soil will
I" not be increased.

Barnyard manure contains nitro-
gen, phosphorus and potash and also
If cOnsiderable organic matter that is
" in a more or less decaying condition.
Consequently, barnyard manure will
increase the nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash content of the soil while
sweet clover will increase the nitro—
gen content only.——C. R. Megee,

Farm Crop Department, M. A. C.

 

PLANT FLAX WITH OATS
I have a piece of ground which I
wish to seed down in oats, and most
’ of it has been manured quite heavily
for two years. I think under a nor-
; mal year my oat straw would grow
t  so tall that a strong wind would lay
’ ' it flat. Can I seed flax with my oats
,, for a support and will the flax and
l j. oats get ripe at the same time and
' f\v\can they be threshed successfully
, f- with the threshing machine? And if

i so hoW?—C. H., Posen, Michigan.
——Oats and flax planted together un-
der Michigan conditions mature at
nearly the same time. Flax usually
ripens a little earlier but will stand
.. without damage until the oats are
ripe( The practice of seeding oats
and flax together was quite common
’ ‘ during the war years when oil meal
was at a high price. The oats and
flax can be threshed together with
the ordinary threshing machine and
v I ” separation can be made later by use

of the fanning mill.

Under present conditions I believe
you will get better results by seeding
a stiff strawed variety of .oats with-

out the flax, using two hundred and
fifty pounds per acre of acid phos—
phate. The Worthy variety is known
to be much stiffer strawed than or—
dinary oat varieties and should give
good results under the conditions
you describe—J. F. Cox, Professor
of Farm Crops, M. A. C."

~CLOVER ON SAND A
Is it better to sow Mammoth clover

alone in early March or with cats

in April, on sandy soil? Will oats
rob the clover of moisture later on?
—Mrs. A. G., Rothbury, Michigan.

—-On slight sandy scil Mammoth
clover will stand a better chance of
producing a crop when seeded alone
than when seeded with a nurse crop
like oats. The oats tend to shade
the clover and also utilize moisture
that is needed very badly by the
young seeding.

In some sections it is advisable to
sow a small amount of oats, three or

. four pee-ks, with the seeding to pre-

vent sand particles from blowing and
thereby causing considerable injury.
A large amount of the damage caus—
ed by a nurse crop is done the last
three weeks that it is on the ground.
In this case it is advisable to cut the
oats for hay, which will allow the
seeding to make use of availible
moisture—C. R. Megee, Farm Crops
Dept., ~M. A. C.

SOWING S‘VEET CLOVER

Would like to have some advice on
sweet clover. I have a field I wish to
seed to sweet clover this spring to
plow under. Red clover grows good
on this field, would it pay me to
sow the sweet clover? Would it
make more growth to plow under?
Can it be seeded the same way you
would sow red? Of course I do not
know about the acidity, but the red
clover grows rank considering the
difference in cost of seed and amount
of growth to turn under. Would you
try it once?——H. B. Vermontville.

———Sweet clover is a little more sensi-
tive to soil acidity than red clover
but since you state that red clover
grows'quite rank you are not likely
to experience any difliculty in secur-
ing an excellent growth of sweet
clover. Sweet clover will produce
a higher tonnage of dry matter in
both tops and roots the first season
than will red clover. ’l‘he.seed of
sweet clover is also somewhat cheap—
er and for a crop to plow under we
believe that under the present con—
ditions is the more economical one.

Crops Department, M. A. C.

IMPORTANCE OF EARLY HATCH-‘

ING .

N order to keep chickens profitable
it is of prime importance that at
least part of the pallets each

year are hatched early. The early
hatched pellets are the most pront-
able from every standpoint. The
early hatched cockerels are also'the
most profitable.

Too few people appreciate the im_-
portance of early hatching. The
following winter they would like .to
get winter eggs, when they command
a high price, but they are not will-
ing to prepare for it in time. It is
a great mistake not to practice early
hatching. It will be noticed that
early hatching is growing more and
more important all the time.

One reason early hatching is very
profitable is because this automatic-

ally necessitates hatching from s
best in the flock. Th good ayers
are laying at that time year.

The poor layers are not laying, and
hence all the chicks hatched early
as a rule come from the best laying
flock. This is in itself a great ad-‘
vantage. The hen that is laying in
January and February is a good win-
ter layer, hence hatching at that
time necessitates hatching eggs laid
at that time of the year by hens
that are laying at that time of the.
year. Early hatching automatically
culls the poor layers from the flock,
especially if practices for a series of
ten years or more.

Often the question is asked,
“What is the best way to get winter
layers?" We can only say, “Hatch
in the winted time." It is easier to

get eggs from pullets that come from
hens that can lay in the winter time. ,
It is no secret to get plenty of Win— :
ter eggs, but it is necessary to make
.plans now. Those plans are to get
a flock of early hatched pullets.
February is not too early to hatch
a large number of pullets. Some of
them may go through a partial molt,
but if you feed them carefully you
will get a good and profitable egg-
production before they do that. The
trouble with too many people is that
they expect a good winter egg-pro-
du’ction from hens. It is a fact that
winter egg-production can be profit—
ably realized ‘from pallets. Many
people keep hens until they are three
or four years old and expect a good
winter egg-production. From the
egg-production standpoint, after a
hen has passed the .three-yeabold
period, she has passed her time of
usefulness. It is a fact that as a
general rule, from the market egg-
production standpoint, it seldom pays ’
to keep a hen longer than two years.
There are, of course exceptions to
this rule, and they are that the ex-
ceptional good layer may be kept a
year longer. .

Another very good reason for prac-
ticing early hatching, is that the
early hatched chicks are the strong-
est and the easiest to raise. We
have found this to be true year after
year. At this writing we have close
to 4000 chicks in our brooder houses.
All are doing line, appear healthy
and strong. It' stands to reason that
the hen is in a better physical condi-
tion early in the year beiore she has
had time to drain her body of vital-
ity, by heavy laying for a long time.
The egg produced in January con-
tains a healthier and stronger germ
than the egg laid in May or June.
Every time a hen 1113 an aggshe re-
duces the vitality in her system.
For this reason- the early chick is
much stronger and therefore much
easier to raise than the late hatched
chick. In spite of the fact that the
early hatched chick may encounter .

  Share at M ‘ profits

in April. or- May. This year, sofar,

' we have had very beautiful weather

for raising early hatched chicks, al-
though by the time this article gets
into print it may no longer be true.
Nobody can tell about Texas weather, ‘
therefore, it is just as well to go
ahead and make plans and ignore
the weather entirely. -.

In raising chicks it must be re-
membered that We get as many cock-
erels as pullets as a general rule.
For this reason they are an import-
ant factor to consider. The early
hatched cockerel can be sold as a
small broiler, and then must be sold
in the majority of cases at an actual
loss. Last year we sold our early
hatched cockerels at the farm at 75
cents each when they weighed about
one pound each and less. The late
hatched cockerels we delivered at 35
cents each when they weighed about
one and a half pounds each; The
late hatched cockerels we produced
and sold at an actual loss. ‘ That
seems to be true in the majority of
cases. The early hatched broiler is
a rare article, and therefore com-
mands the price. The late hatched
cockerels come on the market when
every farmen is selling young chick-
ens on the market, and hence the
low price. .We believe that from the
standpoint of profitable marketing of
the early hatched cockerel alone we
can afford to bring oi! our chicks
early rather than late.

We have always noticed that the
early hatched chicks grow better,
faster and, when mature, are larger
‘and better developed. The Carly
hatched pullets in the small breeds
will easily average at least a pound
heavier than the late hatched pullets
among the small breeds like the Leg-
horns. Among‘the medium weight
breeds the pullets will average close
to a pound heavier than the late
hatched pullets. This is an import-
ant consideration. If your stock is
running small practice early hatch-
ing.

Matures for Fall Fairs

The early hatched pullets and
coekerels will mature in time to be
in excellent show condition during
the fall fairs and poultry shows. If
you are planning on showing at any
of these shows or fairs, it is abso—
lutely necessary to hatch some of
your chicks not later than February.
We have fdund it wise to hatch out a
number in January, February and
March. This insures some individ-
uals that will be in fit condition to
show the entire fall. We know of
some breeders that get a good num-
ber of chicks hatched in December.
The early chicks will win in the
early shows, where the late chicks
have no chance whatever. Early
hatching is the secret of getting
birds in good condition for the fall
and early winter fairs and shows.
A pullet or cockerel is in the best
show condition when she is getting
ready to lay her first egg.

It certainly is a fact that the early
hatchedchicks get a good start, and
therefore are better able to stand the
hot weather when it comes. Cold
weather is better for chicks than hot
weather. For this reason the mor—
tality in early hatched chicks as a
rule is less than half that of the
late hatched/chicks. The excessive
heat and the greater number of lice
and mites are a serious worry to the
late hatched chicks and, therefore,
they seldom do as well as early
hatched chicks.

SPRING WORK IN POULTRY
YARD

FTER being more or less close—
ly housed for the greater part
of the winter, chickens often

are bothered with insect pests, not
to mention that yards and runs may
have become foul. In. addition to
this, unless great care has been ob-
served in managing the flock, the
hens may have low vitality—little
power to resist the beginning of any
disease. 7 _

If nothing has heretofore been

done to get the flock to working on

a business basis, now is the time to

commence. It has been proved that

few other departments of farm
work will pay better than poultry
when rightly managed, and a reso-
lution made now that you are going

days that come. It may take two or
three days. to _.:-do‘ nit: properly, and
may discommode the flock, but it
is worth it. If it appears to be very
dirty, or if insect pests are numer-
ous, perhaps the best thing is to
scald the house from top to bottom,
and not allow the poultry in it again
until it has dried. While you are
about it, it is as well to whitewash
it inside and, out. The lime in white.-
wash greatly, discouragesth‘e spread

'mention"‘tlie"‘fact.that it makes the
.houses look better and gives an ad-
ed‘; attraction :to ,the work of the

ernment formula; as follows: Slack
a half-bushel of lime with boiling
water, covering during the process.
Dissolve a peck of salt in water. Boil
three pounds-pf‘ground rice to a
paste. Dissolve a. pound of joiner's
glue in water. All these added to-
gether while the lime is still hot,
and then a half pound of Spanish
whiting added, to the whole is add-
ed- five gallons of hot water, and
the whole is set aside, covered, for
a few days. To use, stir it up well
and apply while hot, heating in any
convenient manner. '

Of course, all old nesting material
should‘ be burned now and new ma-
terial used. It is not so essential
to cleanup the yards and runs if the
flock is allowed the freedom of the
farm, but if any part of the flock, in-
cluding chicks, is to be kept .close
in, the yard must be clean. A com-
mon ailment- of-poultry is gapes,
and this is almost invariably caused
by a filthy yard. It may look al-
right when raked up, but it is not
if it has been constantly used for a
long time. If you have ancarth

 

floor in any of your houses, pens, or
sheds, sprinkle lime freely upon it.
The yards and runs can be treated
in a different manner, as you can
get to them to clean them. My
plan is to put down a little lime
over the yard, and then plow it up.
You will be surprised at the number
of worms in the soil. Probably a
great percentage of these are gape
worms. They stick in the throat
of the chickens when swallowed, and
cause! gapes when the chickens
rmake an effort to dislodge them.
For this reason, it is best to exclude
the flock from the yards or runs for
at least one day when you plow.
After plowing, put down a little
more lime and rake it off. These
gape worms can exist in a soil that
is covered with a grass sod just as
well as in bare soil, so do not think
the soil is free of them just because
the grass is growing thickly. How-

, ever, where the grass grows well you

can usually be sure there is not a
large flock to keep the soil very
dirty.

Just remember you want setting
eggs in large numbers. You can
get the eggs all right, but I found
it pays to get the hens in fine con-
dition before setting their eggs. The
eggs may be fertile, yet not hatch
because of the low vitality of the
hen that laid it. In this connection,
however, it has been my experience
that it is best to change rations for
the hens very gradually. Ana if
you can select a pen of hens that
are not exhausted by winter laying
you will get better hatching- eggs,
especially if the older, tried hens
thus selected are mated with a
young, vigorous cockerel that has
inherent in himself the. qualities you
want to keep up in your flock.

 

BAD HABITS OF HEN S

GG eating hens usually form this
E habit because of lack of lime or
" meat food in their ration. The
taste is m0st often acquired in the
winter when meat food is scarce and
{hen eggs are apt to be frozen and
broken in the nests. One egg-eating
hen will soon teach others the trick.

Egg-eating hens can be cured by
baiting the eggs with ground must-
ard or strong pepper or powdered
aloes.

Prevent further trouble by better .
feeding. Give all the oyster shell,
meat meal, table scraps, and green

food they will eat.

HOW TO DETERMINE GOOD AND
POOR LAYERS '

ULLING as a means of increasing

egg production is given especial

x attention in the. United States

Department .of Agriculture Poultry

shown, Whichiwas, not/culled, and
feed costing $20.70.; the 12 hens laijd
100 dozeh,,eggs., Contrasted with
this loss is:one 0f 8 hens which were
culled and which laid the same num-
ber of. eggs, but ate, only 600 pounds
.of feeds”. a cost of $13.50. The lot
.of 12 hens that was not culled ate
' 50. per cent more feed than the lot
that was culled and produced no
more eggs. The extra cost of ,feed,
is but one of the larger costs. Others
are the extra labor, extra housing
room, and extra capital invested.

To enable the poultrymen to cull
his hens properly, the exhibit gives
the points to be looked for when do-
termining a poor layer, or a good
layer. The outlines are as follows:

How to Determine a Poor Layer

Comb‘—Shrunken, dull and whit-
ish scales. ,

Eye—Sunken, dull and listless.

Beak—Deep yellow (on yellow-
shanked breeds). \

Shank—Deep yellow (on yellow-
shanked breeds).

Pelvic bones—Thick: rigid, close
together.

Abdomem—Rather hard and shal—
low from pelvic bones to end of keel.

Vent—Small, puckered, dry.

A poor producer moults early, in
July and August. '

How to Determine a Good Layer

Comb—Full, bright, red, waxy.

Eye—Bright, prominent, alert.

Beak—Pale or white (on yellow-
shanked breeds).

Shanks—Pale or white (on yel-,
low shanked breeds).

Pelvic bones—Thin, flexible, wide
apart.

Abdomen—Flexible and deep, as
measured from end of keel to pelvic
bones. ’

Vent—Large, expanded, moist.

A good producer molts late, in
September and October.

 

HENS STOP LAW

Can you tell me why my hens
stop laying? They look good and
feel good. They get scratch feed
containing corn, wheat, and buck-
wheat, plenty of buttermilk but no

eggs. The pullets were laying but
the" rflopped also.——H. H. J., Old
Ml ' 1, Michigan. '

~ ' ~ and pullets frequently sto
laying at this season is due to faulty
nutrition. Very frequently the early
hatched pullets will produce two or
three dozen eggs and suddenly go
into a hackle or complete body
moult. This moulting condition is
generally induced by either poor
breeding. or faulty management, and
more especially faulty nutrition. If
the birds are not properly fed and
are in production they will invariably
lose weight. Loss of weight is al-
most a certain indication that pro—
duction will drop. The birds will go
into a slightly off condition which
will be immediately followed by a
moult. One of the problems is to
develop more rugged stockthat car-
ries more weight and greater resist-
ance to disease.——E. C. Foreman,
Associate Professor of Poultry Hus—
bandry, M. A. C.

UR Michigan farmers, in common
with those of adjoining states,
who are so situated financially

‘ as to require no assistance from the '
banks have no cause forcOmplaint,’

even if afiairs abroad are uncertain
and extremely unsatisfactory; while
farmers are requiring money to tide
them over for a short period are told

,, by their county bankers that they
,are prepared to furnish funds to

meet their needs. It may be said
truthfully that the financial problem
has been settled so far at least as
where the farmer is solvent and pro-
ducing average crops. It is especial-
ly cheering that banks stand ready
to loan money to farmers who desire
to purchase live stock for feeding
purposes. Rates of interest are much
lower than during the war or a year
ago, and the. Chicago banks are mak-
ing loans on collateral at 4% to 5%.
per cent. Bank deposits are much
larger in farming districts generally
than a year ago, and bankers are
giving legitimate borrowers the pre-
ference over speculators except in
some instances in the leading cities.
A World of grain is being converted
into beef and pork products, and
flocks of sheep are getting their‘full
share, for live mutton sells so ex-
ceptionally high that owners realize
the importance of giving them the
best care. Just now the big markets
are largely supplied with lambs fed
in Colorado, for which very high
prices are paid, lamb and mutton
being a luxury, but Michigan and
Ohio are doing their share in the

production of mutton and wool. The ‘

consumption of wool and the stocks
of wool are now nearly as large as
before the war, and more domestic
wool is being consumed than at that
period. Sheepmen now have but one
cause for dissatisfaction, and that is
the fierce discrimination made by
the packers against lambs of heavy
weight, the public have been long
accustomed to eating lamb chops, al-
though in England heavy chops have
the preference. Many farmers are
still showing their faith in the pro-_
duction of beef, and more feeders
have been shipped from cattle mar-
kets than a year ago, although beef
cattle have declined in value in re-
cent months. Hog feeding goes on
actively, although huge marketings
have made lower prices.
The Grain Markets
Grain is still exported to European
war countries, even to Germany to a
Mr extent, but quite recently our
Sports have undergone a decided
filling oil A striking feature of this
finreign trade in our surplus grain is
the steadily large rye shipments, this
areal being much cheaper than
wheat and much desired for making
bread. Much less corn is exported
than a year ago, nor are the exports
of cats on a large scale. Wheat is
ng good prices, and after sharp

breaks rallies have taken place, but

prices are much lower than a year
ago. Corn is being fed very exten-
sively to live stock, and more cats
are being fed on farms than usual
because of their cheapness. The
visible wheat s pply in this country

‘ is smaller than v was last year, while

the rye supply in sight amounts to
13,046,000 bushels, comparing with
7,373,000 bushels a year ago. The
visible oat supply is 30,266,000
bushels, comparing with 67,857,000
bushels a year ago. The corn in
light is "much less than a year ago,
although ample. The Department
of Agriculture states that the exports
from this country to Germany .are
mostly paid for in foreign currencies,
and only in rare instances is credit

‘ extended to a German buyer. May

wheat has been selling in the Chi-
cago market around $1.19, compar-
ing with $1.44fi, a year ago; May

ZK' corn at 75 cents, comparing with 66
' cents last year; May cats at 45%
 cents, comparing with 41% cents
 year; and May rye at 87 cents,

comparing with 98 cents a year ago.

feeding districts in the surrounding
territory, for desirable offerings have
sold relatively higher than beef cat-
tle of quality. Common cattle can
still be bought at low prices it is
true, but experienced stockmen have
demonstrated that feeding inferior
stock is not likely to pay, particularly
when the price of corn is high. Of
late the demand has centered in well-
bred steers suitable for making
choice beef, and some sales were
made at $8 per 100 pounds and over,
with most sales at $6.50 to $7.75.

Most stockmen in preparing cattle
for the market are practicing short
feeding, and very few beeves that
class as choice are arriving in pack-
ing points. The bulk of the cattle
offered on the Chicago market sell
far below the top figures, steers that
sell at $10 and over cutting very
little figure. Steers are bought by
the packers largely at $7.75 to $9.75,
with the best at $10.25 and common
lots at $6.25 to $7.50. A year ago
the top was $10.90. ’

. Hog Feeding Popular

A few months ago the United
States Department of Agriculture an-
nounced that many more cattle, hogs,
and sheep Were held in feeding dis-

.tricts than a year earlier, and the re-

ceipts of cattle and hogs have demon-
strated the truth of this by showing
big gains over recent years, but
such gains are not shown by the mar—
keting of sheep. As was anticipated
early in the winter packing seasons,
there has been steadily increasing
marketing of hogs, and the predicted
large decline in their prices has
taken place, as owners have become
panic-stricken and hurried so many
swine to market that it was out of
the question to dispose of them With—
out putting prices materially lower.
For a long period heavy hogs greatly
predominated in the western mar-
kets, causing their sale at a big dis—
count from prices paid for light hogs,
but within a short time more of the
light weights have been marketed,
the higher prices for corn being one
of the reasons for shortening the
feeding time. Meanwhile the home
consumption of fresh and cured hog
products has been extremely large,
while in spite of the political compli-
cations across the Atlantic, our ex-
ports of lard and cured hog meats
have been running for larger in vol-
ume than a year ago. The spread
in hog prices has narrowed consider-
ably, and while prime light bacon
hogs still top the market, they sell
at a smaller premium over the best
heavy butchers than a few weeks
ago. Late sales were made of hogs
at $6.65 to $8.26, comparing with $9,
to $10.90 a year ago.

Heavy Lambs at a Discount

As happens every year, heavy Colo-
rado lambs are discriminated against
severely by buyers, although sellers
contend that heavy chops and roasts
are sold in the butcher shops at the
same prices as those asked for light
weights. Killers greatly prefer lambs
weighing from 80 pounds down,
while the lambs marketed weigh
largely from 85 to 90 pounds and
have to be sold for 50 cents to $1
discount. Extremely few feeding
lambs are coming on the Chicago
market, and because of their scarcity
they have been selling higher in some
instances than prime killers. The
Colorado lambs are being marketed
freely, with Chicago getting its
share, and it is, stated that about
25 percent of “these youngsters have
gone to . market. Our Michigan
farmers do not need anyadvice on
the sheep industry, for they know

that it is one of the most successful‘
of farm industries, and they 

.Weare inclined to take a bullish

Ring to abandon  although it does L

not follow that they are going to pay

‘ fancy'pricee for thin feeding lambs.

It ‘8 quite likely that some of these
feeders will make some money for
their owners, but there is such a
thing as paying too much at the
start. On a late Monday a Michigan
stockman bought in the Chicago mar-
ket 300 head of choice 70-pound
feeder lambs at $15.40, but larger
sales have been made at $14.50 to
$14.75. Recent lamb sales took
place at $12.50 to $15.40.

I, ' WHEAT

Prices in the wheat market de-
clined during the past fortnight and
the trading was dull. The Chicago
feeling is that the market for wheat
is weak and belief is general that
dealers in that market are nearly

 

all on the short side of the market. '

Outside dealers are long and are car-
rying all the grains. Stocks of
wheat are heavy and the supply will
prove more than enough if some way
is not found by which Europe will
be enabled to purchase the American
surplus. The Ruhr trouble is be-
lieved .to be the cause of the slow
European buying and bulls are anx—
ious that something be done that
will bring this tangle to a satisfac-
tory finish. Those who expect an
early settlement are bulls and those
who look at the supply and demand
situation by itself are bears. It ap-
pears that dealers are heavily short
and commission houses in Chicago
are‘advising customers to avoid the
short side, fearing that the bears
may be forced to cover. The general
outlook is considered bearish because
of abundant supplies and lack of ex”-
port buying. Very little American
wheat is going out of the country and
there is scarcely and fresh buying by
foreigners. Reports were around
last week that two or three European
countries were going to buy a large
quantity of American wheat before
the week closed but these proved to
be only rumors; however, grain is

going out of the country as experts

last week amounted to 4,351,000
bushels compared with 3,688,000
bushels for the previous week.

CORN

Trading in the corn market has
been inactive and the tone easy.
Many dealers sold out of corn be-
cause of, the declines in wheat prices.
There were bulls in the market who
came out from time to time to sup-
port the market and losses were only
moderate. Receipts are, smaller than
they have been and farmers seem to
be inclined to hold their corn‘at pre-
vailing prices. Export trade has
been fair. Reports show that 1,177,-
000 bushels were exported last week
or 2,000,000 bushels more than the
previous week. Receipts at Chicago
last week aggregated 3,722,000 bush-
els‘ and shipments were 1,117,000
bushels. This market has

BEANS

the price is still above that quoted
Demand fell off

since that time buying has been more
satisfactory.
ket declare that all the factors con-
cerning this product lead one to be-
lieve that beans will rule from firm
to stronger, With slight declines from
time to time from now until the new
crop. Regarding the future trend
of this market the Bean and Pea
Journal states:

“The main reason for belief in.

higher‘pricesmnot so much' higher,
but some—1s the quantity of beans

on hand at this time in comparison ‘

with former years. Michigan and

California are the only two, producing ’

states with any considerable quantity
of beans on hand. At the present
rate of consumption, these stocks

will all be gone by new crop. 0ri—‘

ental beans are coming in to some
extent, but they can be absorbed
easily and scarcely aifect the domes-
tic market.» Beans from the Danub—
ian states and other producing dis-
tricts also are finding their way to
the states, but,the‘same holds true
of them."

POTATCES

Cold Weather during the past
couple of weeks has caused a de-
crease in receipts and the market
has become firm. Demand is slow
and only the better grades are mov-
ing. Cars are still scarce and not
much relief is expected before warm
weather when box cars can be" used
for getting the potatoes to market.

Last gweek grand Rapids hotels,
high class cafes and the more par-
ticular consumers were paying 10c
per pound for Idaho baking spuds
while growers a‘ few miles from
Grand_.Rapids were getting around

40c per cwt. for their best stock. ‘A,

Exchange say it is the grade. The}; ,

Quieter European markets, less ae-'

resulted in taking the edge of! wool

from the top price levels, and with
fair amounts of the various grads

comparing with 98 cents a year ago.

By. W. W. Footc .
UR Michigan farmers, in common
’with those of adjoining states,
‘ who are so situated financially

as to require no assistance from the '
banks have no cause forcomplaint,‘

even if affairs abroad are uncertain
and extremely unsatisfactory; while
farmers are requiring money to tide
them over for a short period are told
by their county bankers that they

' ,are prepared to furnish funds to

meet their needs. It may be said
truthfully that the financial problem
has been settled so far at least as
where the farmer is solvent and pro-
ducing average crops. It is especial-
ly cheering that banks stand ready
to loan money to farmers who desire
to purchase live stock for feeding
purposes. Rates of interest are much
lower than during the war or a year
ago, and the, Chicago banks are mak-
ing loans on collateral at 4% to 5%.
per cent. Bank deposits are much
larger in farming districts generally
than a year ago, and bankers are
giving legitimate borrowers the pre-
ference over speculators except in
some instances in the leading cities.
A World of grain is being converted
into beef and pork products, and
flocks of sheep are getting their‘full
share, for live mutton sells so ex-
ceptionally'high that owners realize
the importance of giving them the
best care. Just now the big markets
are largely supplied with lambs fed
in Colorado, for which very high
prices are paid, lamb and mutton
being a luxury, but Michigan and
Ohio are doing their share in the
production of mutton and wool. The
consumption of wool and the stocks
of wool are now nearly as large as
before the war, and more domestic
wool is being consumed than at that
period. Sheepmen now have but one
cause for dissatisfaction, and that is
the fierce discrimination made by
the packers against lambs of heavy
.weight, the public have been long
accustomed to eating lamb chops, al-
though in England heavy chops have
the preference. Many farmers are
still showing their faith in the pro:
duction of beef, and more feeders
have been shipped from cattle mar-
ket! than a year age, although beef
cattle have declined in value in re-
cent months. Hog feeding goes on
actively, although huge marketings
have made lower prices.
The Grain Markets
Grain is still exported to European
war countries, even to Germany to a
hit extent, but quite recently our
«ports have undergone a decided
filling off. A striking feature of this
benign trade in our surplus grain is
the steadily large rye shipments, this
cereal being much cheaper than
wheat and much desired forvmaking
head. Much less corn is exported
than a year ago, nor are the exports
of oats on a large scale. Wheat is
bringing good prices, and after sharp
breaks rallies have taken place, but
prices are much lower than a year
ago. Corn is being fed very exten-
sively to live stock, and more cats
are being fed on farms than usual
because of their cheapness. The
visible wheat s pply in this country
is smaller than was last year, while
the rye supply in sight amounts to
13,946,000 bushels, comparing with
7,278,000 bushels a year ago. The
visible oat supply is 30,266,000
bushels, comparing with 67,857,000
bushels a year ago. The corn in
light is "much less than a year ago,
although ample. The Department
of Agriculture states that the exports
from this country to Germany .are
mostly paid for in foreign currencies,
and only in rare instances is credit

7 extended to a German buyer. May

wheat has been selling in the Chi-
cago market around $1.19, compar-
ing with $1.44fi, a year ago; May

A ' corn at 75 cents, comparing with 66
,_ cents last year; May oats at 451,5
” cents, comparing with 41% cents

last‘year; and May rye at 87 cents,

feeding districts in the surrounding
territory, for desirable offerings have
sold relatively higher than beef cat-

tle of quality. Common cattle can“

still be bought at low prices it is
true, but experienced stockmen have
demonstrated that feeding inferior
stock is not likely to pay, particularly
when the price of corn is high. Of
late the demand has centered in well-
bred steers suitable for making
choice beef, and some sales were
made at $8 per 100 pounds and over,
with most sales at $6.50 to $7.75.
Most stockmen in preparing cattle
for the market are practicing short
feeding, and very few beeves that
class as choice are arriving in pack-
ing points. The bulk of the cattle
offered on the Chicago market sell
far below the top figures, steers that
sell at $10 and over cutting very
little figure. Steers are bought by
the packers largely at $7.75 to $9.75,
with the best at $10.25 and common
lots at $6.25 to $7.50. A year ago
the top was $10.90. '
, Hog Feeding Popular
A few months ago the United
States Department of Agriculture an-
nounced that many more cattle, hogs,
and sheep Were held in_feeding dis—
tricts than a year earlier, and the re-
ceipts of cattle and hogs have demon-
strated the truth of this by showing
big gains over recent years, but
such gains are not shown by the mar-
keting of sheep. As was anticipated
early in the winter packing seasons,
there has been steadily increasing
marketing of hogs, and the predicted
large decline in their prices has,
taken place, as owners have become
panic-stricken and hurried so many
swine to market that it was out of
the question to dispose of them with-
out putting prices materially lower.
For a long period heavy hogs greatly
predominated in the western mar-
kets, causing their sale at a big dis-
count from prices paid for light hogs,
but within a short time more of the
light weights have been marketed,
the higher prices’for corn being one
of the reasons for shortening the
feeding time. Meanwhile the home
consumption of fresh and cured hog
products has been extremely large,
while in spite of the political compli-
cations across the Atlantic, our ex-
ports of lard and cured hog meats
have been running for larger in vol-
ume than a year ago. The spread
in hog prices has narrowed consider-
ably, and while prime light bacon
hogs still top the market, they sell
at a smaller premium over the best
heavy butchers than a few weeks
ago. Late sales were made of hogs
at $6.65 to $8.25, comparing with $9.
to $10.90 a year ago.
Heavy Lambs at a Discount
As happens every year, heavy Colo-
rado lambs are discriminated against
severely by buyers, although sellers
contend that heavy chops and roasts
are sold in the butcher shops at the
same prices as those asked for light
weights. Killers greatly prefer lambs
weighing from 80 pounds down,
while the lambs marketed weigh
largely from" 86 to 90 pounds and
have to be sold for 60 cents to $1
discount. Extremely few feeding
lambs are coming on the Chicago
market, and because of their scarcity
they have been selling higher in some
instances than prime killers. The
Colorado lambs are being marketed
freely, with Chicago getting its
share, and it is. stated that about
25 percent of ’these youngsters have
gone to market. Our Michigan
farmers do not need anyadvioe on
the sheep industry, for they know

'  it is one of the most successful‘
other  markets; to ship to V 1

of  industries, and they are not

     

 

 

going toabaudon it, although it does
not follow. that they are going to pay

' unsy'prices for thin feeding lambs.

It is quite likely that some of these
feeders will make some money for
their owners, but there is such a
thing as paying
start. 011 a late Monday a Michigan
stockman bought in the Chicago mar-
ket 300 head of choice 70-pound
feeder lambs at $115.40, but larger
sales have been made at $14.50 to
$14.75. Recent lamb sales took
place at $12.50 to $15.40.

' WHEAT
Prices in the wheat market de-
clined during the past fortnight and
the trading was dull. The Chicago
feeling is that the market for wheat
is weak and belief is general that
dealers in that market are nearly

 

all on the short side of the market. ‘

Outside dealers are long and are car-
rying" all the grains. Stocks of
wheat are heavy and the supply will
prove more than enough if some way
is not found by which Europe will
'be enabled to purchase the American
surplus. The Ruhr trouble is be-
lieved to be the cause of the slow
European buying and bulls are anx-
ious that something be done that
will bring this tangle to a satisfac-
tory finish. Those who expect an
early settlementare bulls and those
who look at the supply and demand
situation by itself are bears. It ap-
pears that dealers are heavily short
and commission houses in Chicago
are advising customers to avoid the
short side, fearing that the bears
may be forced to cover. The general
outlook is considered bearish because
of abundant supplies and lack of ex-
port buying. Very little American
wheat is going out of the country and
there is scarcely and fresh buying by
foreigners. Reports were around
last week that two or three European
countrieswere going to buy a large
quantity of American wheat before
the week closed but these proved. to
be only rumors; howevar, grain is
going out of the, country as experts
last week amounted to 4,351,000
bushels. compared with 3,688,000
bushels for the previous week.

CORN

Trading in the corn market has
been inactive and the tone easy.
Many dealers sold out of corn be-
cause ‘of the declines in wheat prices.
There were bulls in the market who
came out from time to time to sup-
port the market and losses were only
moderate. .Receipts are, smaller than
they have been and farmers seem to
be inclined to hold their corn at pre-
vailing prices. Export trade has
been fair. Reports show that 1,177,-
000 bushels wage exported last week
or 2,000,000 bushels more than the
previous week. Receipts at Chicago
last week aggregated 3,722,000 bush-
els‘ and shipments were 1,117,000
bushels. This market has many
friends who-believe higher prices will
come in spite of the dull fortnight
the market has just passed through.

BEANS

The bean market finished last
week with an easy tone and a de-
cline of 10c per cwt. at Detroit, but
the price is still above that quoted

- in our last issue. Demand fell off

some the fore part of February but
since that time buying has been more

satisfactory. Students of the mar-..

ket declare that all the factors con-
cerning this product lead one to be-
lieve that beans will rule from firm
to stronger, With slight declines from
time to time from now until the new
crop. Regarding the future trend
of this market the Bean and Pea
Journal states: ~
.“The main reason for belief in
higher‘prices—not so much' higher,
but some—is the quantity of beans
on hand at this time in comparison
with former years. Michigan and
California are the only two producing '
states with any considerable quantity
of beans en hand. At the present
rate of consumption, these stocks

will all be gone by new'crop. Ori— ‘-

ental beans are coming in to some
extent, but they can be absorbed
easily and scarcely aifect the domes-
tic marke‘t.» Beans from the Danub—
ian states and other producing dis-
tricts also are 'finding their way to
the states, but,the same holds true
of them.”

POTATOES

Cold Weather during the past
couple of, weeks has caused a de-
crease in receipts and the market
has become firm. Demand is slow
and only the better grades are mov-
ing. Cars are still scarce and not
much relief is expected before warm
weather when box cars can be" used
for getting the potatoes to market.

Last gweek grand Rapids hotels,
high class cafes and the more par-
ticular consumers were paying 10c
per pound for Idaho baking spuds
while growers a' few miles from
Grand_Rapids were getting around
40¢ per cwt. for their best stock. 'A
prominent Chicago potato dealer says
its the color and the Potato Growers’
Exchange say it is the grade. The:

Chicago dealer believes that the
farmer in this. state should raise’

white potatOes instead of russets but '

WOOL

Quieter European markets, less ae—'
tivity in the west and a more wait-
ing attitude in eastern centers have
resulted in taking the edge off wag
trading in the midwest, with many
operators feeling that prices have
reached their peak. The tone is still
with no recessions
from the top price levels, and with
flair amounts of the various grads
of wool moving.

' Tuesday will be unsettled if not

These conditions will continue thru

Week of March 11
Cold, fair weather and with tem-
peratures more or less steady are the
conditions expected during‘ opening
days of this week. For the last half
readings will continue lower each
day reaching a minimum about Fri-

y.

Centering on about v the 15th,
Michigan will experience rain, sleet
or snow and gales. By and of week
the sky will clear and ten
reach moderately cold reading: but
rapidly begin rising. In tact, con-
ditions are such as to bring on a
decided warm wave at the end of
this or beginning of next week. Max-
imum temperatures of about 50 de-
grees will occur in central and south-
ern Michigan at this time-.4

With the warm temperatures will
be some severe local storms of wind.
rain or hail. Heavy local rains, it
not cloud bursts, are probable al—
though the greatest damage will
most likely be from wind.

This predicted warm spell will not
mark a record fer Michigan March
warmth nor will the cold to follow
next week constitute a record but we
believe the change will be rapid and
marked enough to cause inconven-
ience to many.
