PROGRAM OF POTATO GROWERS
EXCHANGE

 HE program for_ the Michigan V.

Potato Growers Exchange for
improving the status of the po-

tato industry in Michigan in 1923.

WHEREAS, the potato industry
of Michigan during the past season
has severely suifered from 'the bad
eifects of 1. Country-wide .over-
production. 2. Car Shortage. 3.
Field Freezing. 4. Inferior Quality.
5. Rough handling of green stock.
6. Insufficient grading and sorting.
7. Improper conditions in storage.
8. “Bearing” the market by urn-
scruplous buyers and brokers within
the state. 9. Over specialization in
potato production in certain local-
ities, and

WHEREAS, it is our belief and
conclusion that these conditions are
generally amenable to correction,
and that the bad effects of all can
be greatly modiﬁed by a campaign
of education and preparation, there-
fore

BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the
Directors and Ofﬁcials of the Michi-
gan Potato Growers’ Exchange go-
on record in favor of and hereby
pledge our support to the following
program for improving the status of
the potato growing industry in the
state of Michigan.

Program

1. The promotion of an educa-
tional campaign for more careful
sorting and grading and the feeding
of the surplus in case the Govern-
ment Crop Report for August 1st
shows a possible crop of 380,000,000
bushels or more.

2. To insist that the Railroads of

i

__. ______... _ _._.__._.

  
the State, in their capacity as Gom-

rmon Carriers, take steps Immediate-

ly to live up to their franchise obli-
gations and proceed to equip them-
selves for handling in an orderly and
expeditious manner the tonnage of-
fered for shipment. If‘an unbaised
presentation of the seriousness of
our case does not meet with ade-
quate response on the part of the
Railrbads, then we advocate the
leasing of a reasonable number of
refrigerator cars by the Exchange.
As further precautions toward the
end of meeting the bad' effects of
car shortage we advocate more early
shipping in box cars and a careful
study by Exchange members of the
system of pooling all potatoes by
seasons“ as a means of equalizing the
prices to growers which result from
enforced inequality of shipping.

3. Earlier planting of the late
crop, to secure maturer stock; and
earlier digging to avoid possible dan-
ger of ‘ﬂeld freezing.

4. The improvement of the qual-
ity of our commercial crop by the
more general use of certiﬁed or high
quality seed; seed treatment; early
planting; control of leaf diseases by
high pressure spraying.

5. The use of machine diggers
where possible; more careful hand-
ling in ﬁeld and warehouse; and the
elimination of unduly severe sizing
machinery in potato warehouses.

6. In case of a normal or over-
production we advocate very careful
sorting and grading in order to put
an attractive and superior quality
pack on the market, also the use of
trade-marked sacks for each grade
adopted by us in order to realize

7. Imootion of all potato ware-
houses and the installation of‘proper
heating and ventilating tacilitiea to
prevent abnormal heating, sweating,
molding and discoloration.

8. More general pooling of pota-
toes through the cooperative 
keting amociations; also an educa-
tional campaign to unveil the “bear-
ish” practices of unscrupulous buy:
on and brokers within the state._

9. The system of farming, in some
localities, which limits the amount
of live stock and legume hays, in
favor of specialization in potato
growing, we believe to be funda-
mentally wrong. We advocate

. enodgh dairy and other stock to take

care of all the cull potatoes during
years of normal production and con-
sume the surplus during years of
over-production.

This amendment was voted down
by 'a considerable majority which

opposition that the people of the
state of Michigan did not want an

'income tax law, and had proven it

by their actions at the ballot. This
"statement is not believed to be

The Byrum Bill

Shortly after the ﬁrst of the'year
representative Warren E. Byrum of
Leslie, introduced a state income tax
which seems to meet the crying need
of the hour; that of raising sufﬁcient
funds to cover the operation of state
expenses and to lower the tax on
those who are least able to pay
them. ' '

This bill, known as House Bill,
No. 377, supposes a personal income
tax of 4% on all individual incomes

IF YOU WANT THE GENERAL STATE PROPERTY TAX
§HIETED FROM .T HE FARMER TO THE NET 1N-
COME OF ALL ' INDIVIDUALS—ACT

THE Byrum Income Tax Bill, (House No. 377) is at this
moment before the legislature of the State of Michigan.
This bill, with which you are undoubtedly familiar, pro-
vides for a state income tax of four per cent (4%) on the
net income of every individual, who has been resident of the
state for six months or more of the taxable year, allowing
deductions of $1,000 for a single person, $2,000 for a marri-
ed person and $400 additional for each child under 18
years of age or any dependent incapable of self-support.
The tax would become effective covering the net in-
comes of all individuals for the year 1923 and would be

payable March 1, 1924 and each year thereafter.

This

state income tax would be deductable from the net income
reported to the federal government.

That in a nut-shell is House Bill No. 377.

At Lansing, in view of the defeat of the income tax
measure at the last election they are puzzled as to whether
the farmers of Michigan are solidly for this Bill or not.

It is hard for The Business Farmer to understand in
View of the small amount paid on net incomes to the federal
government by the farmers of Michigan and the very much
larger proportion of these taxes, paid by urban dwellers
why any farmer should oppose the state income tax.

'There is, undoubtedly, a powerful lobby at work in

Lansing to defeat the present bill.

Your representative

must know that you, the farmers of their districts, are solid-
ly behind them if you expect them to vote in favor of it.

There is not one minute to be lost.
A telegram or a telephone call to Lansing will

the mails.

Do not depend on

cost you little and get you immediate attention, if it can
have the backing of your local arbor, grunge, farm bureau

or cooperative, so much the better.

If you do not have time

-to calla meeting, get the approval of the officers and sign
your appeals or pledges of support with the names of these
officers and the name of. your organization.

 
sons in Michigan have a taxable in-
come oi.’ 470 million dollars, which
at the rate pi‘ovided by the Byrum
bill of four per cent would yield to
the state 18,800,000 dollars an~
nually.

The income bill now before the
legislature does not exempt state
employees or School teachers who
would all be forced to pay four per
cent on their net incomes as would
all other citizens of the state.

Unlike the\ federal income bill.
the. Byrum bill No. 377 taxes not
only thenet income but includes
incomes from rentals, interest, pro-
ﬁts, dividends, salaries, professional
services, and all services whatsoever,
except salaries of U. S. Officials, U.
S‘. Government Bonds, and state so!-
diers’ bonus bonds, which could not
legally be taxed by the state.

Farmer Will Beneﬁt Most.
‘ Needless to say, it is the farmer
of Michigan, who will as a class, se—
cure the greatest beneﬁt from the
passage. of this act; and it is to the

farmer that the legislature is look—
ing for an answer as to whether or
not the farmers of Michigan wants
this income tax passed at the pres—
ent session.

In brief, house bill No. 377, pro—
vides a state income tax of four per
cent to be imposed upon every in-
dividual who has been a bona ﬁde
resident of the state for six months
or more during the tax year, upon
his entire net income deducting an
exemption of $1,000 for a single in—
dividual, and $2,000 for a married-
individual,_ in addition to which,
$400 may be deducted for each child
under 18 years of age, or for any
dependent who is not capable of self
support. The tax is collectable
March lst, each year, beginning
March lst, 1924, on the income for
1923-, and thereafter falls due 15

O

days before the Federal income tax ‘

fro which all state taxes may be
deducted.

would go under the General Funds

of the state, and thereafter could

appropriate it.
It is interesting to know how the

Byrum bill would beneﬁt the farmer '

tax payers of the state. In 1921
the property tax collected was as
follows:

State Corporations ....$ 5,625.000
Other city property.... 7,275,000
Villages of state ...... .. 1,550,000
Twps. outside villages 6,000,000

Total .............. ..$20,450,000

This shows that more than one-
third of the actual property tax re
lief would directly affect the farmers
of Michigan irrespective of their in-
terests outside of the township in
which they reside.

Bringing the proposition of the
state income tax directly to your

own door Mr. Reader, can you ﬁgure ‘

that your income tax in the state of
Michigan would be approximately
the same as you paid on the federal
income tax the past year; in other
words, the four per cent and the ex-
emptions allowed are comparable to
it, and would be in addition to it,
Income Tax Is Justiﬁed

An income tax measure is always
justiﬁed by its sponsors because it
derives its revenue from those who
are best able to afford it. Other
states in the union have provided
themselves with an income tax. The
state of New York, being an example
of the sucrossful operation of an in
come tax which provides sufficient
money for the operation of all state
departments.

Michigan is, as pointed out by Dr.
Friday in a recent article in the
Business Farmer, or. industrial
state, which must provide some en—
couragement to the farmers who are.
to supply her directly with the food
products which she consumes. In
no more direct way could this en-
couragement be offered than thru
the establishment of a state income
tax which the present legislature is
able to provide. .

Inquires made by the Business
Farmer representative at the capitol
this week, disclosed the fact that
this measure is tied up in the hands
of a committee, two members of
which have been on the investigat-
ing committee traveling thru the
sugar beet countries, holding meet-
ings in regards to the employment
of child labor in the beet ﬁelds.

Other members of the committees.

are inactive, and the chairman in-
sists that if a meeting is not called,
and action taken before the end of
the present week, he will ask that a
new committee be appointed.

There is yet time for the farmers

of Michigan to rmake their voice'

known, and every local organization
in the state, has within its power
to let both representative and sen-

ator at Lansing, know that the rural?

community is solidly behind him in
his vote for the passage of this law
at the present session. '

Political ‘ observers believe that.

this measure will pass the Houses;-
quickly, and that particular pressugﬁ

There should be a sink In the kitchen of
every farm home in Michigan. The cost.
of installation is very small and the extra
steps saved in one month more than pays
for it.

 
“ HANKS, Dan, for drying the
T supper dishes," said Mrs. Bax-

ter, as she took the dish towel
from the hands of her son and hung
it up to dry. “I have had a busy
day today and am very tired.”

“Glad to help you mother.” replied

Dan.

He stood watching his mother as
she carried her pan containing the
dish water to the back door to empty
it into a pail. Then glancing
thoughtfully about the kitchen he
passed into'the livingroom where his
father sat reading the daily paper.

Dan Baxter had just completed his

ﬁrst year at the Michigan Agricultur—
al College and was helping his father
during the summer.
' At College he was learning the
value of farm home conveniences.
'how they make life on the farm more
pleasant and pay the cost of install—
ing within a short time through
work and time saved. He had neVer
noticed very much the lack of the
things that make a home modern un—
til this summer, and it had never
been brought as forcefully to his
mind as it was when he stood watch—
ing his mother carry her pan of dish
water to the door to empty it into a
pail. His father had the latest
machinery to do his farming with
and his barns were most modern.
His father was a good man but he
was so busy witlLfarm work that he
thought little of the house or moth—
.er’s comforts.

Dan walked up to where his father
sat.

“Dad,” said he, as his father
glanced up at him from the paper he
was reading, “you have been so busy
with the farm and I with my school
work that we have neglected In ther.
She is working very hard am we
can make at least a part of her work
much easier.”

“Now what put that idea inio your

  
head?” John Baxter’s voice was deep
and pleasant to hear. “Mother
never said anything about wanting
anything. Whenever she ,Wantsa
dress,. or dishes or anything she al—
ways just goes and buys it. She
is a pardner in the business, son,.an’d
knows what we can afford as well as
I do.”

“That proves what I just said,” ex-
claimed Dan. “You are too busy
With your farm work to notice.
Mother takes hundreds of steps each
day that we can save her ”

“How?” interrupted his father.

“By putting a sink in the kitch-
en," said Dan.

“But we can’t afford any such
thing. We would have to hire a
plumber to install it properly and put
in the drain—no, that will have to
wait a while yet.” And his father
returned to his reading. '

But Dan was determined to get a
hearing as he knew his father would
install the sink at once if convinced
that it could be done at a reasonable
expense.

“If you will listen for just a few
minutes, dad. I can tell you all about
how we can install the sink ourselves
and the expense won‘t break you

 
either.” W

John Baxter was thinking about
what the boy had said to him about

    
Mother At Little Expense
By MILON GRINNELL

  
“You read ’em off and I’ll
write ’em down,” And suiting
actions to words his“ father se-
cured paper and pencil.

“Here they are: A white
enameled sink, 20 inches by 30
inches, price from $6 to $14, de—
pending on quality ”

“I’ll put down $14, might as
well be the best ’cause it is the
cheapest in the long'run,” said
Mr. Baxter.

“That is a good idea,” agreed
Dan. “It says here in the bul-
letin that for ordinary kitchen
use, sinks of cast iron white
enameled are best. Sinks‘ of
painted cast iron and also of fa
sheet steel can be obtained;
however they are not as easy to
keep clean.”

“The rest is as follows, con—
tinued Dan. “ ‘One pair sink

“Now that we have the material
what are we going to do with it?”
laughed his father. .

ed the paper, laid it on the table, and
turned toward Dan.

“Alright, son, shoot,” he said.

“First, we will consider the cost,”
began Dan. “The total cost of in-
stalling the kitchen sink, aside from
labor, all of which you and I will do,
will be $12.50 to $22.85. depending
on the kind of sink you put in.”

“Is that all it is going to cost us?
Why I thought it would be about
twice that. But do you understand
allabout installing one?" questioned
his father.

“No, I don’t, but I have a bulletin
that I brought home from the M. A.
(,3. that explains in full about it..Just
a minute and I’ll get it.” And he
went up the stairs leading to his
room taking two steps at’&’ time.

Mrs. Baxter came into the room
having completed her
work and her husband
noticed for the first time
how tired she looked. She
, was working too hard, he
 could plainly see now.
"' Have to pay more atten—
tion to her comforts here—

after. he decided.
“Where is Dan?” she
asked.

“Just gone up to his
room for a couple of
minutes. Had a hard
day of it, mother?”

“Yes, I have, John.
and 'I am rather tired. I
guess I’ll go straight to
bed.”

Good idea,” said her
husband. And as Dan
came down stairs. “Dan
and I have a little ﬁgurx-
ing todo before I roll in.”

Dan bid , his. mother

Mr. Baxter thought for a moment.

“Of course, that will be up to
mother, but I suppose she will want
it under that window on the north
side of the kitchen. That would be
a ﬁne place for it as the light is very
good and then it is. near the stove so
she would not have to take so many
steps.” ’

“Alright, dad, we will leave that.‘

for mother to decide. Now the next
thing on the program, according to
the bulletin, is how high the sink
is to be from the ﬂoor. The bulletin
states that for a woman'4 feet 10
inches tall the working surface or
bottom of sink should be 30%
inches; 5 feet 5 inches, 341/2 inches;
5 feet 7 inches, 35 inches; 5 feet 10
inches, 37 inches.”

“I reckon that it would
have to be about 35 inches
from the ﬂoor for mother,”
mused Mr. Baxter. “She
is about 5 feet 7.”

Dan could see that his
father was very interested
as he did not notice when
the clock struck nine,
which was his bedtime.
'Urging Dan to ~go on he
reached for his pipe.

“Read about the install-

During the past .summer
silver-
leaf maples were badly wand by
the bark cracking, on some trees
from the ground to the lower limbs
a distance of four or ﬁve feet. The
insects had entered and the trees
were in great danger of being ruin-
ed. We had all foreign and dead
bark cut away and the wounds
painted. 'Did we apply the proper
remedy or what should be done
where the bark is injured by being
broken or torn away? We would
like some information relative to
tree surgery, if you would kindly
direct us where to get it.———Mrs. E.
A. N., Kingsley, Mich.
——The damage to the silver maples
is probably the result of sun scorch
or as it is sometimes called, 'sun
scald. This damage is quite com-

. mon on smooth barked trees, espec-

ially on those portions of the trunk
which for some reason, such as
pruning or the removal of neighbor-

' ing trees or shrubs are suddenly ex-

posed to direct sunlight. It occurs
often on trees which have been re-
cently planted and where the crown
is not sufﬁciently developed to shade
the stem of the tree or where there
is reﬂected light from some cause as
well as direct light from the sun. It
occurs only on the'sout-hwest side of
the tree and if the injury is on some
other side it was caused by another
agency. Such damage can only be
prevented by shading the stems of
the trees which seem susceptable.
this can be done “by tying burlap or
some other material around the
stem of the tree.

After such injury has occurred, or
any similiar injury, all injured bark
and decayed wood underneath
should be removed and the wound
painted with lead paint or better
still with creosote in order to pre-
vent infection. You could obtain a
bulletin on tree repair by writing to

FENCE VIEWERS

—The highway overseers and high-
way commissioner are fence viewers
in each twonship. When any contro-
versary arises between occupants of
adjacent farms over a partition fence,
it is their duty to view fences and de-
termine the rights of the respective

a partition fence and damage the ad-
joining land owner, he may bring
an action of trespess for such damage
provided he has kept in good condi-

I have a question I would like to
have answered in your next issue if
possible. If I give a real estate man
the exclusive right to sell my farm
for a certain length of time, and dur-
ing that time another real estate
man sells said farm, can both collect
commission? Or if I sell said farm
myself, can either real estate agent
collect?—L. McC., Croswell, Mich.

—-Only the man who sells your farm
can collect commissions, and if you

However, if you made a contract

other to make the sale, or selling it
yourself, you would be liable to him

tract—Asst. Legal Editor.

 
PLANNING A LIVESTOCK LEASE
Will you kindly suggest an out-
line for a lease where the landlord
furnishes the cows, brood sows and
poultry, and the necessary feed until
more is grown? The tenant is to
furnish horses, machinery and all
help.
How should threshing and silo ﬁlling
bills be divided? Who should pay
the personal property tax and the in—
surance?—-—G. C., Saginaw County.

——It would seem that the ordinary
half and half livestock lease would
be best adapted to your case. Under
this arrangement, the landlord ‘and
tenant usually own the cattle, hogs,
feed and seed in partnership. The
tenant furnishes the horses, machin-
ery and labor. In your case the
tenant could buy a half interest in
the cattle, hogs, feed and seed, and
if. he has not the ready money, could
give you his note secured by chattel
mortgage on his share of the goods
and on his half of the crop. Usually
the tenant is allowed —to keep up to
one hundred hens and to raise suf-
ﬁcient chickens to maintain the ﬂock

WION LAW

Some months ago you published "
in your paper particulars in regard ._

to conducting an investigation "of
the prohibition law. We have alto-
gether too much of it in this county.
"Please give me the name and ad-
dress of the one whom it is neces-
sary to inform.——Subscribsr,
kaska, Mich.

——.An investigation in regard to the
violation of the prohibitllon law can
be conducted: (1) By any priv-
ate citizen who could report the re-
sult of his investigation to the law-
enforcing ofﬁcers; (2) by the 187w—
enforcing oﬂicers of any city or vil-
lage; (3) by the law enforcing ofﬁc-
ers of the county; (4) by~the law-
enforcing ofﬁcers of the state, in-
cluding the State Police, and (5) by
the law inforcing ofﬁcers of the Fed-
eral Government.

Whether or not there is too much
investigation of violations of the
Prohibition Law is of course a mat-
ter of opinion and should any citi-

‘zen want such investigations dis-

TREAT SEED CORN WITH

. GOAL TAR

Can I put anything on my seed

corn before planting it to prevent
crows pulling it up? I read in one
of the papers last year where a. man
stated he had treated his seed with
Creso Dip No. 2 and the crows did
not pull up his corn. Do you think
this would stop them? Is there any
other remedy? How many pecks of
,white navy beans will it take to
plant an acre of ground, rows 3 ft.
apart and 18 inches apart in rows,
or would 32 in. be wide enough be-
tween rows? I Would plant 7 to 10
beans in a hill.—~—H. S. Whitmore,
Mich.

' -—The coal tar treatment is one of
the. most effective for treating seed
corn to prevent crows from pulling
it up. This treatment is an— old one
and, has been proved by years of
use in Michigan. Sevéral days be-
fore p1anting,~the seed corn should
be shelled and graded. The corn to
be treated is moistened for ten min-

' utes in lukewarm water.
or is then drained and coal tar
applied at the rate of two table-
spoonsful to a bushel of seed corn or
one teaspoonful per peck. The coal
tar‘is stirred thoroughly through the
moistened corn until the kernels are
evenly coated with a thin ﬁlm. The
, corn is then spread out thinly on a

‘ t ’ ﬂoor or table to dry.

‘ Creso "is a coal tar product, and

-hence commercial Creso Dip is also
effective.

From fourteen to sixteen quarts
of beans are required to plant an
acre of ground—rows 3 ft. apart,
' I hills18 inches apart,7to 10 beans
*   .7, per hill. " On ground of average or
 “ v better fertility you will get a larger
‘  A' ‘ yield"by planting in rows thirty—two

, inches apart, in which case sixteen

to eighteen Quarts would be needed

per acre. '

' Our experiments at M. A. 0. show

. that «on land of good fertility high-

est yields are scoured by planting in

rows twenty-eight inches apart, us-

ensilage is much less eﬂicient for
fattening steers than ensilege made
from corn stalks carrying tge car at

’ th: proper stage of maturity. Stover

ensilage will keep as well as ensilage
made from .the entire corn plant if
properly packed in the silo and if
suiiicient water is added. It is us-
ually in a more advanced stage of
maturity and hence dryer. The ad«
ditiom of suﬂcient water when ill-
ling ths silo will insure the proper
keeping of stem ensilage. A large
or amount of purchased concentra-
ted feeds must be fed with stover
ensilage than with ensilage made
from the whole corn plant.

The following method of treating
seed potatoes with Corrosive Subli—
mate'is given in Experiment Station
Bulletin No. 117:

Seed potatoes should be carefully
graded and all ill-shaped, mechan-
ically injured, and partially rotted
tubers should be removed. before the
seed is put in the disinfecting solu-
tion. Potatoes should be compara-
tively free from dirt before they are
treated. Potatoes should be treat-
ed while they are dormant and be-

».  A an» 

fore they are cut. Soak thepota-
tees for 39 minutes in a solution
of c‘érrosive sublimate (Bichloride
of mercury), the strength of which
is 4 ounces of corrosive sublimate to
30 gallons of water.

Dissolve the 4 ounces of corrosive
sublimate crystals in 2 quarts or so
of hot. water, and then add it to the
30 gallons of unheated water.

Corrosive sublimate corrodes metals.

It should be ~.sed in wooden vessels.
A 60 gallon wooden barrel is a sat-
isfactory container in which to soak
the potatoes. - By using two or more
barrels, a large quantity of potatoes
can be treated in a day.

Where 100 bushels or more of po-
tatoes are to be treated, the work
can be done conviently if a wooden
trough or tank that will hold 8' or
12 potato crates is used. The pota—
toes in bushel crates are immersed
in the corrosive sublimate solution.
The tank can be made water tight
by lining it with canvas and giving
the canvas a coat or two of asphalt-.
um paint.

The corrosive sublimate loses its
strength with use, because the po-

‘tatoes and dirt condense and chemi—

cal and take it out of solution.
From one-tenth to one-fourth of the
corrosive sublimate is removed with
each batch of potatoes treated. The

-'(447)r.i

treating solution can be kept at the 5
proper strength by adding corrosive
sublimate from time to time. ‘If the.
potatoes are placed in the solution
loose and are comparatively free
from dirt, add one ounce of corrosive
sublimate dissolved in one quart of

hot water for each 30 gallons of .-

liquid after each second batch is.
treated. ' -

If the potatoes are dirty and are
treated in bags, add one ounce of
corrosive sublimate for each 30 gal-
lons of liquid after each batch is
treated. When the treating solu-
tion gets very dirty, discard it and
make up a fresh solution. One
pound of corrosive sublimate will
treat from 30 to 60 bushels of pota-
toes. .

Corrosive sublimate is a deadly in-
ternal poison. Do not pour the sol-
ution where livestock or poultry can
get at it, and do not use treated po-
tatoes for eating purposes.

After the potatoes have been tak-
en out of the solution they should be
spread in a cool, shady place and al-
lowed to dry thoroughly. It is a
good plan to soak the bags or crates
used for handling the treated seed
in the corrosive sublimate solution
in order to prevent any possible re-
infection.—J. F. Cox, Professor of
Farm Crops, M. A. C.

‘COI’YRIGHT BY‘ REILLY 88

The Conclusion,

OR ﬁve years foreign-born labor-
ors have received diplomas
symbolic of nine months train--

ing in citizen-making. I sought a

man to whom Mr. Ford had said:

“The Bible is the most valuable book

in the world. If it could be written.

in the language of today. I would
scatter a million copies among the
people who never read it and who
fail to grasp its worth and beauty."
I asked this man, Mr. Brownell, this
question: “How has this great mil-
lionaire made the educational de—
partment of this plant the very dyna
mo of its success, and why has he
given a clergyman such wide and
sweeping power?

Mr. Brownell took off his glasses
and laid them carefully on the desk.
“He does it by dispensing practical
Christianity, interpreted through
dollars and cents; in the sharing of
proﬁts with employees; in opening
the doors of employment to maimed
and crippled men, and to men who
have unfortunately run into debt to
society, but who have paid such
debts in full. His has been the hu—

mane recognition that all men are of

common clay and that all, barring
none, are entitled to a helping hand.

“You shall meet Dean Marquis,
head of the educational department,
and Mr. DeWitt, head of the English
school, which should really be called
the American school, for its scholars
are from ﬁfty—eight countries and
they speak one hundred different dia-
lects. They have been taught one
language and have been trained to
become citizens of our own American
nation. But ﬁrst let me tell you an

incident that Will illustrate how men

have been reclaimed in this factory.

“One cold night in December an
ofﬁcial of the company was called to
the front door of his house. Outside
was the half-wreck of a man, who
plunged into complaint without for—
mality. ‘They say Henry Ford gives
the fellow who is down and out a
chance—that he thinks there is some
good in the worst of us, but it is a
lie—a black, barefaced lie. I have
stood in line at his plant trying to
get work and never have been given
a look-in. I‘m at the end of my rope
and I’ve got to go back to my old
ways.’

“The conpany oﬁicial interrupted
him. ‘Mr. Ford wants to give every
man who deserves it a chance,’ he
said. The other man shivered. ‘Ever
since they turned me loose, two years
ago, I’ve tried to go straight, and
every time I get a job a dick passes
the word and I’m ﬁred. If I can’t
get_steady work I’ll have to be a
crook again. To-night they ”

“ ‘Don’t worry about tonight,’ the
company ofﬁcial told him; ‘come to
the factory tomorrow and a place
will be found for you. We have
more than ﬁve hundred men who
have served penitentiary sentences
and only two of them have disap-
pointed us. When you begin work
no one will be against you so long as
you do what is right.’ ” .

Somewhere in that great factory
that man made good and he is still
working there. ~

The probation period, formerly
six months, has been reduced to
thirty days, the minimum salary rais-
ed from ﬁve to six dollars a day.
There has been no strikes nor is
labor discontent. The
power of discharge .has been taken
out of the hands of superintendents
and foreman. They can discharge
from their departments, but not
from the factory. The employment
ofﬁce investigates and places the lab-
orer in that other department to

Department,
through the advisers, or helpers, has
a record of the living conditions of
each employe. They know his hab-
its, good or bad. They know what
money he has saved, if any. They
know what' insurance he carries.
They consult with him as to his bank
savings. They have taught him how
and why to save. In rare cases they
have moved his family to Detroit [and

and interest.
They teach the

  
employee hy- ' ‘
gienic [living and how to buy
food. While teaching him how to

earn money they also teach him—
which is more important—how to
spend it. They have taught him
that debt is the result of poor man—
agement or misfortune.

Take for example the case of an
employee who wages were garnisheed
month after month. He was, indust-

rious and hard-working; the bills
were not of his making. An advisor
was sent to his home. He met the

wife, a nice little woman who believ-
ed in a happy—go—lucky existance, and
who made expenditures out of all
keeping with her husbands salary.
That she was a woman of sense was
proven when she grasped the idea
that this sort of thing could not con-
tinue. A scientiﬁc housekeeper was
sent to instruct her in up-to-date
economics. She welcomed the sug-
gestions made. To-day the bills are
paid, the man and his wife own their
home and have money in the bank.

There is another rule on which
the cornerstone of right living must
be laid—an employe, if it be thought
justiﬁable, is required to produce
his marriage license. No recogni—
tion is given socialism or free love.
This is mentioned because a case of
this sort was recently made an issue.
An important ruling of the Ford
company in 1913 covers such ques-
tions.

The legal department aids the
workers by examining deeds to prop—
erty they wish to buy, assessing its
value and passing on the validity of
the contracts.

In the Ford English school are
natives of Arabia, Persia, India, Po-
land, Armenia, Turkey, Chaldea, Al-
bania, Serbia, Korea, Macedonia and
other innermost parts of Asia, Eur—
ope and obscure regions of the world.

Each of these foreigners speaks twoJ
K or more dialects, but has no knowl«

edge of our own language. They are
taught reading, writing, arithmetic
and grammar according to the mod—
ernized methods of Francois Guoin,
who lived in 1710. The everyday
problems of life are the keynote of
each lesson, and a new psychology of
good fellowship and interest accents
the instruction. Mr. DeWitt was re-
cently borrowed by Pennsylvania to
demonstrate to the teachers of that
state his original experiments. Mr.
Ford watches the lessons. The one
on birds, which emphasizes the great
Americanbird, the soaring eagle, the
emblem 'Of‘freedom, is his favorite.
There are other lessons which Mr.
Ford personally supervises—for this
department is the child of his brain
and is dear to his heart. The
foreigners are taught cleanliness,
table manners, courtesy, in public
places and also, when possible, they
are instructed in gardening. As an
evidence of the eager earnestness of
the pupils the case may be cited of a
Macedonian who learned the Consti—
tution of the United States verbatim
in four days.

The nine months’ course has been
turning out annually between three
and six thousand graduates. The
diplomas, signed by Henry Ford,
Dean Marquis and Mr. DeWitt, state
that “the holder has been given
ground work in English which en-
ables him to write it and to read .it
within certain limitations. It gives
him a deﬁnite comprehension of the
rudiments of government, national,
state and municipal, and ﬁts him to
become a citizen of the United States
and to understand the obligations
thereof."

The day war was declared Mr.
Ford instructed the chief of his medi-
cal staff to ascertain accurately the
exact number of‘positions that might
be ﬁlled with disabled soldiers. Every,
wheel and cog of the factory was de-
voted to Winning the war, and open~
ings have been made ferthose who
served. Dr. Mead reported that: 1

oryhad employed seven hundred and

 ,ighty—three disabled soldiers. Peels"

#9118 have been given to'ﬂve tho‘us-
and four hundred and eighty‘ return-
ed soldiers and sailors, and more
are constantly being added. Direct
instructions have been issued that
soldiers are to be given preference
over all other applicants.

A great problem in every factory is
tuberculosis. It has been demon-
strated in the salvaging section that
(tubercular patients are as productive
as any other‘class of workmen. Hos-
pital treatment is given free. The
state law of conpensation allows ten
dollars weekly to a bedridden man;
the Ford company gives eighteen to
t enty dollars. Mr. Ford believes
that regular wages and light work
will drive away worry and expedite a
man’s recovery. Hence handiwork
is taken each day to patients able to
sit up, and they are enabled to earn
full wages.

' Just as be conceived the per-
fection of his tractor while on a vaca-
tion by watching the movement of a
horse’s legs, so Mr. Ford’s mind
reaches out to help humantiy. In-
different to the usual hobbies and
amusements of men of the world, he
has his own interests and recreations.
He believes in practicing the gospel,
“Give a man the chance he deserves,
not charity.” The following  inci-
dent is so unusual as to seem im—
probable, yet it is true. As Mr. Ford
was driving one day he passed a
much be-draggled tramp to whom he
gave a lift. The tramp claimed to
be‘penniless and without work, and
for that reason was walking to his
sister’s home in Connecticut. The
next day he was given a position in
the Ford plant. The employment of—
ﬁce was instructed to equip him with
the necessary-clothes and report his
progress to the ofﬁce. All moved
smoothly for a while, but, unlike the
usual fairy tale, the end of the

'mOnth found a restless worker in-
stead of a diligent one. He was
moved to another department, but
when pay day came his restlessness
had grown to loud protests, and to
M_r. Ford was brought the news that
wanderlust was beckoning his prote-
ge, who had threatened to quit.

“What’s this I hear?” asked Mr.
Ford when the prodigal came to his
ofﬁce. Into his ear was poured,
forthwith, a story of homesick yearn-
ing for the far—away sister that
would have done credit to an expert.
Mr. Ford listened patiently. “See
here, Bill,” he said then, “you have
no idea of going to Connecticut. You
want to quit so that you can be a
plain shiftless tramp.”

The eX—hobo studied the carpet.

“Yes, that was it,” he admitted.
“A factory is no place for me; I’m
lazy. I’ve lived the old life so long
that I like it.” ‘

“All right,” said Mr. Ford, “You
can quit. I’ve told them not to both-
or with you any longer. But re-

let you slip back into your old ways.
I'm going to employ a man to follow,
you everywhere you go and watch
everything you do. If you ever feel
sorry for the way you have. treated

place, provided you are willing to

work. Until you do I .am going to ‘

watch you every minute. Perhaps
you will decide to, brace up and be a
man."

“Gosh,” said the surprised man.
“If you are going to do that I might
as well give in right now.”

‘ This ex—tramp is now, a faithful
wdorker.‘ Again the theory succeed-
e .

The next ﬁve years will witness
the most important readjustment
period in our national history. It
will be a time when capital and labor
must throw off their shackles and
meet on a middle ground of consider-
ation, each recognizing the rights of
the , other. Organized labor will
have. to make great concessions.
Capital will have. to. make even
greater concessions. Neither group
can strangle the other if the princie
plea for which our boys fought and
diedai'eto, survive. Is it right that

“ HERE—I’ve got the lantern!”
T exclaimed Blackton “There is-
n’t any danger,-not a. bit. Wait
a minute and I’ll tell you about it.”
He lighted the lantern, and the the
glow of it Joanne’s and Peggy’s faces
were white and startled. “Why, bless
my soul, I didn’t mean to frighten
you!” he cried. “I was just telling
facts. See, we’re standing on a solid
ﬂoor—four feet of packed rock and
cement. The dynamite and black
powder are, under that. We’re in a
chamber—a cave—an artiﬁcial cav-
ern.
wide, and-about seven high.”
He held the l tern even with his
shoulders and walked deeper into the
cavern'ashe spoke. The others fol-

lowed. They passed a. keg on which
was a half-burned candle. Close to
the keg was an empty box. Beyond

these things the cavern was empty.

“I thought it was full of powder
and dynamite,” apologized Peggy.

“You see, it’s like this,” Blackton
began. “We put the powder and
dynamite down there, and pack it
over solid with rock and cement. It
we didn’t leave this big air chamber
above it there would be only one ex-

plosion, and probably two thirds of.

the explosive would not ﬁre, and
would be lost. This chamber cor-
rectsthat. You heard a dozen ex-
plosions last night, and you’ll hear a
dozen this afternoon, and the biggest
explosion is usually the fourth or
ﬁfth. A ‘Icoyote’ isn’t like an ordin—
ary blast or shot. It’s a mighty ex—
pensive thing, and You see it means a
lot of work. Now, if some one were
to touch off those explosive at this

 
minute VVhat’s the matter,
Peggy? Are you cold? You’re shiv-
ering!"

“Ye-e-e—e-s!” chattered Peggy.

Aldous felt Joanne tugging at his
hand.

“Let’s take Mrs.
she whispered.
she’ll take cold!"

In spite of himself Aldous could
not restrain his laughter until they
had got through the tunnel. Out in
the sunlight he looked at Joanne,
still holding her hand. She with—
drew it, looking at him accusingly.

“Lord bless me!” exclaimed Black—
ton, who seemed to understand at
last. “There’s no danger—not a
bit!”

“But I’d rather look at it from
ou,tside,yPaul, dear,” said Mrs. Black-
ton.

“But—Peggy—if it went off now
you’d be in just as bad shape out
here!"

“I don’t think we’d be quite so
messy, really I don’t, dear,” she per-
sisted.

“Lord bl‘ess me!” he gasped.

“And they’d be able to ﬁnd some-
thing of us,” she added.

“Not a. button, Peggy!”

“Then I’m going to move, if you
please!” And suiting her action to
the word Peggy led the way to the
buckboard. There she paused and
took one of her husband’s big hands
fondly in both her own. “It’s per-
fectly wonderful, Paul—I’m proud
of you!” she said. But, honestly,
dear, I can enjoy it so much better
at four o’clock this afternoon.”

Smiling, Blackton lifted her into
the buckboard.

“That’s Why I wish Paul had been
a. preacher or something like that,
she conﬁded to Joanne as they drove
homeward. “I’m growing old just
thinking of him working over that
horrid dy mite and powder all the
time. Eve y little While some one is
blown to nothing.”

“I believe,” said Joanne, "that I’d
like to do something like that if I
were a man. I’d want to be a man,
not that preachers aren’t men, Peggy
dear—but I’d want to do things, like
blowing up mountains for instance,
or ﬁnding buried cities, or"——she
whispered, very, very softly under
her breath—+“writing books, John
Aldous!” v '

Only Aldous heard those last
words, and J oanne’ gave a. sharp little
cry; and when Peggy asked her what

the two. ' - -

“It’s lame fort life,” she said to
him half .an hour later,‘when he was
bidding her good-bye, preparatory to
accompanying Blackton'down to the
working steel. “And I deserve it for
trying to be kind to you.
some writers of books are—are per-
fectly intolerable!” ,

“Won’t you take a little walk with
me right after dinner?” he was ask-
ing for the twentieth time. '

“I doubt it very, very much.”

“Please, Ladygray!”

“I‘ may possibly think about it.”

With that she left him, and she did
not look back as she and Peggy
Blackton went into the house. But as
they drove away they saw two faces
at the window that overlooked the.
townward road, and two hands were
waving good-bye. Both could not be
Peggy Blackton’s hands.

“Joanne and I are going for a walk
this afternoon, Blackton,” said Ald—
ous, “and I just want to tell you not
to worry if we’re not back by four
o’clock. Don’t wait for us. We
may be watching the blow—up from
the top of some mountain.”

Blackton chuckled.

“Don’t blame you," he said. “From
an observer's point of view, John, it
looks to me as though you were going
to have something more than hope to
live on pretty soon!” - '

“I———I hope so.”

“And when I was going with
Peggy I wouldn’t have traded a quiet
little walk with hen—like this your
suggesting—for a front seat look at

~ 3. blow-up of the whole Rocky Moun-

tain system! "

“And you won't forget to tell Mrs.
Blackton that we may not return by
four o’clock?”

“I will net. And”——-Blackton puf-
fed hard at his pipe—“and, John-—
the Tete Jaune preacher is our near-
est neighbor,” he ﬁnished.

From then until dinner time John
Aldous lived in an atmosphere that
was not quite real, but a little like a.
dream. His hOpes and his happiness
were at their highest. He knew
that Joanne would go walking with
him that afternoon, and in spite of
his most serious efforts to argue to
the contrary he could not keep down
the feeling that the event would
mean a great deal to him. Almost
feverishly he interested himself in
Paul Blackton’s work. When they
returned to the bungalow, a little
before noon, he went to his room,
shaved himself, and in other ways
prepared for dinner.

Joanne and the Blacktons were
waiting when he came down.

His ﬁrst look at Joanne assured
him. She”was dressed in a soft gray
walking—suit. Never had the prep—
aration of a dinner seemed so slow
to him, and a dozen times he found
himself inwardly swearing at Tom,
the Chinese cook. It was One o’clock
before they sat down at the table and
it was two o’clock when they arose.
It was a quarter after two when
Joanne and he left the bungalow.

“Shall we wander up on the moun-
tain?” he asked. “It would be ﬁne
to look down upon the explosion.”

“I have noticed that in some
things you’ are very observant,” said
Joanne, ignoring his question.
the matter of curls, for instance, you
are unapproachable; in others you
are—quite blind, John Aldous!”

“What do you mean?” he asked,
bewildered. ‘

“I lost my scarf this morning, and
you did not notice it. It is quite an
unusual scarf. I bought it in Cairo,
and I don’t want to have it blown
up.” .

“You mean ” -

“Yes. I must have dropped it in,
tlée cavern. I had it when we enter-
e .2! .

“Then we’ll return for it,” he v01-
unteered. “We’ll still have plenty
of time to climb up the mountain be—
fore the explosion." . 

, ‘ Twenty minutes later they came to
the dark mouth of the tunnel. There
was no one in sight, andfor a' mom- ,
ent Aldous searched for matches in

 
his pocket. V  ,

Suddenly he‘heard “a ,sOund.
He turned, and saw Jeanne standing
in the glow of the lantern.

“Can you ﬁnd it?” she asked.

“I haven’t yet.”

They bent over the rock ﬂoor, and
in a moment Joanne gave a little ex-
clamation of pleasure as she caught
up the scarf. In that same moment
as they straightened and faced each
other, John Aldous felt his heart
cease beating, and J oanne’s face had
gone as white as death. The rock-
walled chamber‘was atremble; they
heard a sullen, distant roaring, and
as Aldous caught Joanne’s hand and
sprang toward the tunnel the roar
grew into a deafening crash, and a
gale of wind rushed into their faces,
blowing out the lantern, and leaving
them in darkness. The mountain
seemed crumbling about them, and
above the sound of it rang out a wild,
despairing cry from Joanne’s lips.
For there was no longer the bright-
ness of sunshine at the end of the
tunnel, but darknessmutter dark-
ness; and through that tunnel, there
came a deluge of dust and rock that
ﬂung them back into the blackness» of
the pit, and separated them. ’
“John—John Aldous! ”
“I am here, Joanne!

His goping hands found the lant-
He relighted it, and Joanne
crept to his side, her face as white as
the face of the dead. He held the
lantern above him, and together they
stared at where the tunnel had been.

\

I win light"

A mass of rock met their eyes. The
tunnel was choked. And then, slow-
ly; each turned to the other; and

each knew that the other understood
-—for it was Death that whispered
about them now in the restless air of
the rockwalled tomb, a terrible death
and their 1i1: spoke no words as
their eyes met in that fearful and
silent understanding.

CHAPTER XIX

OANNE’S white lips spoke ﬁrst.
"The tunnel is closed!” she

whispered. ' ,

Her voice was strange. It was
not Joanne’s voice. It was unreal,
terrible, and her eyes were terrible
as they looked steadily into his. Al—
dous could not answer; something
had thickened his throat, and'his
blood ran cold as he stared into'
Joanne’s dead-white face and saw
the understanding in her eyes. For
a space he could not move, and then,
suddenly as it had fallen upon him,
the eﬁect of the shock passed away.

He smiled, and put out a hand to
her. _

“A slide of rock has fallen over
the mouth of the tunnel,” he said,
forcing himself to speak as if it
meant little or nothing. “Hold the
lantern, Joanne, while I get busy.”

“A slide of rock,” she repeated
after him dumbly.

She took the lantern, her eyes still
looking at him in that stricken way
and with his naked hands John Al—
dous set to work. Five minutes and
he knew that it was madness to con-
tinue. Hands alone could not clear
the tunnel. Yet he worked, tearing
into the rock and shale like an ani-
mal; rolling back small boulders,
straining at larger ones until 'the'
tendons of his arms seemed ready to
snap and his veins to burst. For a
few minutes after that he went mad.
His muscles cracked, he panted as he
fought with the rock until his hands
were torn and bleeding, and over and
over again there ran through his
head Blackton’s last words—Four
o’clock this afternoon!—Four o’-
clock this afternoon! '

Then he came rto what he knew he
would reach very soon, a solid wall!
Rock and shale and earth were pack-
ed as it by battering rams. For a
few moments he fought to control
himself before facing Joanne. Over
him swept the grim realization that
his last ﬁght must be for her. He
steadied himself, and wiped the dust
and grime from his face with his
handkerchief. For the last time he'
Swollowed hard. His soul rose with-
in him almost joyously now in the
face of his last great ﬁght, and he
turned—John Aldous, the super-
man. There wasno trace of fear in
He was
rigin that ghostly glow of,

thereby. ,Lber , he struck a7 match. The '
“lantern was on the empty box:. Re

“Your hands are bleeding, John!’?
It was the ﬁrst time she had spok-
en his name like that, and he was
i thrilled by the calmness of her voice,
the ‘unt-rembling gentleness of her
hand as it touched his hand. From
his bruised and bleeding ﬂesh she
raised her eyes to him, and they were
no longer the dumb, horriﬁed eyes
he had gazed into ﬁfteen minutes be-
fore. In the wonder of it he stood
silent, and the moment was weighed
with an appaling silence.

It came to them both in that in-
stant———the tick-tick—tick of the watch
in his pocket!

Without taking her eyes from his
face she asked: -

“What time is it, John?”

“Joanne—” ,

“I am 1 \t afraid,” she whispered.
“I was afraid this afternoon, but I
am not afraid now. What time is
it, John?” V

“My God—they’ll dig us out!”
he cried wildly. “Joanne, you don’t
think they won’t dig 11s out, do you?
Why, that’s impossible! The slide
has covered the wires. They’ve got
to dig us out! There is no danger
——none at all. Only it’s chilly, and
uncomfortable, and I’m afraid you’ll
take cold!”

“What time is-it?" she repeated
softly.

For a moment he looked steadily
at her, and his heart leaped when he
saw that she must believe him, for
though her ’face was as white as an
ivory cross she was smiling at him——
yes! she was smiling at him in that
gray and ghastly death—room of the
cavern! .

He brought out his watch, and in
the lantern glow they looked at it.

“A quarter after three,” he said.
“By four o’clock they will be at work
Blackton and twenty men. They
will have us out in time for supper.”

“A quarter after three.” repeated
Joanne, and‘ the words came steadily
from her lips. "That means ”

He waited.

“We have forty-five
which to live!” she said.

Before he could speak she had
thrust the lantern into his hand, and
seized his other hand in both her
own.

“If there are only forty—ﬁve min—
utes let us not lie to one another,"
she said, and her voice was very
close. “I know why you are doing
it, John Aldous. It is for me. You
have done a great deal for me in
these tw0 days in which one ‘can be
born, and live, and die.’ But in
these last minutes I do not want you
to act what I know cannot be the
truth. You know—and I know. The
wires are laid to the battery rock.
There is no hope. At four o’clock—
We both know what will happen. And
I—am not afraid.”

She heard him choking for speach.
In a moment he said:

“There are other

 
minutes in

lanterns—

Joanne. I saw them when I was
looking for the scarf. I will light
them.”

He found two lanterns hanging
against the rock wall. He lighted
them, and the half-burned candle.

‘It is 'pleasanter,” she said.

She stood in the glow of them
when he turned to her, tall, straight,
and as beautiful as an angel. Her
lips were pale; the last drop of blood
had ebbed from her face; but there
was something glorious in the poise
of her head, and in the wistful
gentleness of her mouth and the
light fit her eyes. And then, slowly,
as he stood looking with a face torn
in its agony for her, she held out her
arms.

"The ’Farm Paper of Service "

 
THE STATE INCOME TAX.

T is hardly conceivable that there is any div1-
sion of opinion among the farmers of Michi-
gan "regarding the Byrum bill mow (before {the

Michigan legislature, which provides for an im-
mediately effective tax on the income of citizens
of the state.

That it will meet with militant opposition "from
the representatives of the urban centers which
it will directly effect is equally as certain.

It would behoove the city dweller to ponder
the present situation casually at least, before ar—
riving at too hasty a conclusion regarding the
income tax. If he has given any ithought What-
ever to the subject he must realize that the City
or town Where he resides is largely engaged sin
taking the products of the farm and making
them into salable products for the worlds *mar—
kets. The largest market for the sale of his
manufactured product, must always be *on the
farms of this country.

Property taxes in Michigan, as in other
states, has advanced during the past few years
to a point where they are actually driving thou-
sands of families off the farms. Forcing them
to become competitors ‘in the labor markets and
consumers of farm products, where before they
were producers.

Any individual can certainly afford to pay a
direct tax as low as four per cent on his net
income, after exemptions have been made for
his dependents. There is not a farmer in Michi-
gan who will not gladly :pay his share on the
basis of the not income’derived :from his farm
and if the farmer 'is willing “to *pay such .a :tax,
why is it not equitable for the city man no
matter what his work or his earning.

Thousand of citizens live in ﬂats, apartment
houses or hotels and owning no real estate or
other property pay no direct state tax whatever
:for the privilege of enjoying the facilities which
the state aﬂords for their well being. The state
income tax is as sound in principle as the federal
income .tax and altho faulty, that law is today
.an accepted fact. I

It is claimed that the vote taken in Michigan
:on the ’tax amendment to the state constitution
"voiced the sentiment of the people but we chal—
;lenge this statement in View of the voluminous
correspondence received by this publication im-
mediately following that voting which proved
“that the farmers, at least, were not sufﬁciently
:acquainted with its purpose to vote intelligently
‘on it. We commend to every reader the action
.suggested in the statement .on page vthrie not

TARIFF VS. ‘INOGME TAX

.INANCIAL .circles are :said 'to be in high glee
F over the possibility that the *‘large returns rto

“the government from the present ‘Fordney
tariff, \will make it possible to reduce the present
income tax rate which is six .per cent, to three
per cent next year.

Let’s see now—~

{The tariff money comes from the people who
buy the ordinary 'things‘of life, such as sugar,
woolens, cuffoe, tea, etc, in a much larger pro-
portion than tf-rom those who 'buy the "luxuries.
It is the family, which ’in the great measure
pays the tax, as indirectly collected by the high
tariff  That ought to be ,pretty well under-
stood iby now!

 this .source then comes the extra ’money
which .is going to lower the income tax. '

Who pays .the income tax? Quite generally
the men and women who can afford ’to paygit,
many of whom spend less in the 'United States
than does some struggling family of eight on a
northern Michigan forty.

M’s are inclined to believe that this .is .a stop
towards unjust taxation, whether you label it
“protective” tariff'or not, it comes home to the
same :point; that those who can least aﬁord to
pay a ‘high tax for the privilege of bringing up
their "families in :the United States of'America
would be asked to pay what their-prosperous
neighbor could pay without feeling it.

The income tax can be made the most equit-
able means of raising the necessary money for
national government operation. Itt operates
‘most equitably when applied only to not individ-
ual incomes. A real saving 'to all 'the people
could ‘be 'aﬁected =throug’h abolishing altogether
the corporation income tax, because .it is only
passed along to the people :in higher .prices for
the products of these corporations {which (they
buy.

The corporation income Lworks this way. ‘Two
persons, .on-e rrich the other poor, each own ‘a
share of stock in a corporation. A profit “is
_ The corporation pays a .tax on that in-
come. The tax is taken out of the proﬁt due

IOWA FAlRMaERS EILEVATQRS :QUCGEED

FROM 1904 to 1922 there were .532 farmer-
owned elevators organized in the state of

Iowa. and during the same period only .51 .

ceased business. Where in 1904, nineteen years
(850 there were only ’43 elevators tin operation, at
*the close of '71'9’21 there were 5’11. These ducts
are obtained “from a very interesting bulletin
just issued '-by “the agricultural collage of that
state entitled "Fifty‘Years of Farmers’ Elevatt 
in Iowa”. . ' v

We republish these ﬁgures here because .they
,prove that lfamerwwned elevators  be 
.atad successfully and at .a :proﬁt.
wows {plenty of fthosc 1who like to say "“I tdld you
sol’”, and usually ‘they make ‘the\ same remark
no matter which way the venture goes. .

In the state of ‘Midhigan many earnest men
have tried to solve {the marketing pnoblem, which
dominates every other .in the proﬁtable operation
of agriculture in this country. Many .of those
men :have worked night and day, usually without
:13th to themsélwes. to 'try and make the co—
operative plan a practical and profitable success.
'We know of this type of ~men in our state Who
:have actually killed themselves, worrying over
the problems of :the cooperative elevator.

'And yet, when similar ﬁgures :for the state of
Michigan are vproducod, we lbolieve a record
equal, proportionately, to that of ‘-Iowa, the ‘home
of the cooperative elevator will be Shown. ’We

TOO MUCH CREDIT

AM writing these lines in hopes

some of the readers will see what

credit, credit and more credit can
and does do for the majority of small
farmers. I know all this from ex—
perience, but, thank goodness, I have
proﬁted by a most expensive lesson.
Credit was the name and about $1,-
500 the cost.

When I ﬁrst came to this state to
start farming I had no money to buy
for cash, so I, like most all farmers
are doing today, started going to
sales. My banker said my credit
was good. It was, too. I bought
what I needed to farm with. Then
he told me “Here’s a good buy” and
“There’s a good buy.” Oh, yes, he
was very accomodating then (and is
to everybody now till he get them to
buying).

The ﬁrst year I paid all my notes.
That fall I bought more cows. The
second year crops were not extra
good so I paid every cent I had and
still had to renew some. High int-
erest had to come in advance so I
had to make a note, due in the
spring, for interest. In the winter I
had sickness and was not able to pay
the interest. I got word that the
sheriff would be my next visitor. I
went to a lawyer. He said the bank
could not forclose on an advance in-
terest note which was an unlawful
note to start with. This proved so.
Then by selling all the young stock
I had I paid off the interest and some
on the principal. But the banker
tore up the note instead of stamping
it paid and giving it to me. Then
the third year my crop drowned out.

 
I was told to
have an auction sale, which I would
have been forced to do if I had not

I could pay nothing.

had a friend of true blue. He help<
ed me out, and seen to it that my
notes were made out at 7 percent
interest and no interest in advance
and I will always keep them that
way. For if I can’t do business with
one that will do it lawfully, I will go
without. Since I have started on
this system I am getting ahead in-
stead of sinking with excessive inter-
est as a dead weight.

I am not the only one that was so
foolish, for literally speaking the
majority of this country belongs to
the bank as I once did.

Why is it the law makers are for-
ever thinking up some law to punish
the small offender, and never make a
law that would take [care of bolder
and much greater offenders. Many
of the small country bankers can put
on a white collar and tie, get behind
their cage and rob every one that
comes that way—they call it a bon-
us. If the people won’t be robbed
peacefully, they are told to have an
auction sale. Oh, yes, then they are
a big man. It certainly would be
the work of providence if all the
small banks could be—well, just put
out of business. I hope many of the
readers will see what credit will do,
and will proﬁt by another’s exper—
ience—P. B., Gladwin County, Mich.

 
MORE ABOUT TAXES
NOTICE in the February “Review
I of Reviews" Dr. Friday's compu-
tations show that “the farmers
were paying 26 percent of all the

taxes in the year 1913-14 and 18 per

cent in 1921-22: Putting it some-
what different the farmer shoulder-
ed $774,000_,000 out of a totali‘of
‘$5,362,000,000. He had boom-pay-
ing one fourth of all the taxes before
the war, but he assumed only one
seventh of the additional burden

' which has been laid upon the pub-

lic.” He also computes that the
farmers only assumed slightly over
one ninth of the increase of the dir-
ect taxes. This information should
be a great comfort‘to the farmers, no
doubt they will now be able to meet
this small proportion .of 'the taxes
with no inconvenience. , .
Wonder if the Doctor will ﬁnd that
the dairymen are not carrying their

just burden in supplying milk for the .

City of Detroit. I

In discussion of taxes, Dr. Friday
might have brought out the fact that
property assessment is computed
generally from the income of the
property. But this rule does not
apply to farm property. I do not
think that farmers would ask that
this rule be strictly adhered to, as
they would have paid no taxes the
past two years on that basis. But
the rule should not be ignored.—

BAD CASE OF “CARNIVALITIS”

Q.

“It has already paid foritsel’f” 

“ YEAR ago,” writes Benjamin Ger-

lack, of Kingston, New York, “I
purchased a 5 H. P. Hercules Gasoline
Engine, thinking that it would help the
hired man and me about the barn and

farm.

“It has done more than that. It has
saved me the wages of one man, besides
making the work easier for all of us.
It has already paid for itself. . . .

I call it my partner.”

After. a reCent fair I overheard a.

conversation between two little boys. ' I- N

They were joshing each other about
seeing one of the tent attractions
reserved for men,’ and from what I
gathered neither was very proud of
having seen that particular "show."

I hear some one person say, “0
pshaw, they must bump into such
things sooner or later.” But I think
most mothers would rather it would
be later. ' ' ,'

To me it seems to be the meet
unfair thing to have a fair like this
when we have such wonderful agri-
cultural resources with which *we
could have such a good fair. Per-
sonally, I know of a number‘of farm-
ers that will have nothing to ’do
with a fair of this kind that would
enter heart and soul in the right
kind of a fair.

What is more stimulating than a.
friendly rivalry 'as to who can raise
and exhibit the best potatoes, corn
or fruit and what is more interesting
and instructive than a good live-
stock exhibit, besides see the oppor-
tunities for advertising one’s par-
ticular specialty. ‘

I am sure from the comments
heard on all sides that the farmers
prefer an agriculturalfair to a Car-
nival every time. Let the State Fair
have their carnivals if they want to
but I hope to see the day when our
own particular fair will have all
such objectionable features elimin-
ated—Mrs. E. J. C., Alpena County,

THE FARMER AND HIS
TROUBLES
HE farmer is receiving his full
T share of adverse critism and
free advice as usual. I read an
article in ‘ a farm paper recently
which implied that the farmer is bet-
ter off than he thinks he is. It'
enumerated a long list of things
which a farmer with intelligence and
gumption,” ’should do when times
are hard and work slack (as it
work on a farm ever was slack) such
as grubbing stumps, cutting fence
posts, breeding better cattle, culling
poultry, repairing buildings, raking
the yard, making ﬂower beds and-be-
ing more civil. ‘

It also said that with proper man-
agement the farmer can always have
ﬂue potatoes, choicest beef and pork
(fresh), fried chicken or chicken-pie
when his fancy dictates. Eggs with-
out number, cream and the ﬁnesti'of
fruit and vegetables. . No mention
was made of the work necessary to
produceall these or their worth‘ in
the market. -~'

I quite agree that it requires
gumption and intelligence to manage
a farm properly and proﬁtably. "One
can't be on’ the .jobégday and oﬂé-to—
morrow. .I alsﬁ’ maintain-that» the
majority of farmers possess the nec-
essary qualiﬁcations. v ~

The endless number of tasks Mr.
'B. would have us do when times are

' Lhard, have always been part of our

:yearly routine. The lawn, back and

.‘front is always raked in spring and

mowed as long as grass groWs. There

are ﬂowers in the ﬂower-graden from

spring’s ﬁrst kisses until snow ﬂies.
Stumps are unknown, the wood

‘ lot is quite diminished and coal a

:necessity. V
The farmer must work and ﬁght
:against odds continually. He has
crop failures, loss of stock, low
prices, sickness, taxes and interest
and “hard times” is often the knock-
out brow. He earns every cent he
gets but he does not get every cents
he earns by any means. ,
_ It requires the same gumption and
intelligence to live and learn in any
walk ‘of life, and the farmer is no
better off than he thinks he is. He
‘knows his needs and his limitations.

The foolish farmer, so they say,
Grumbles louder ev’ry day;
‘Tho’ sixteen hours of daily toil
No man's temper ought to spoil.

‘Tis only “gumption” that he needs, '
, 'To create a zest for feeds

0f richest viands with dearth
'With no thot of what they’re worth.

The envied farmer is, they say,
Growing richer day by day.

This hard time talk is just a bluff.
He is farming well enough.

:Six hours of chores are only fun
Quite forgotten soon as done.
‘,’Tis ﬁner sport to pitch manure,
Aching back to thus insure.

The fabled farmer must, they say,
Show his mettle all the way~—— ‘
Plowing, rolling, discing, dragging,
Countless miles, never lagging;
Sowing, planting, using hoe,

For the weeds begin to grow;

Not for a moment dare he rest
Since with ’tater bugs he’s blest.

Lucky farmer, if he but knew,

Is much better off than you,

When times are hard and spirits low,
Still his ‘igumption" make him go.
Stumps to grub and yard to rake,
Flower beds for wifie’s sake,

(laws to breed and his poultry cull,
Times for him can not be dull.

Greedy farmer, your sumptious fare

NEW IDEAS IN CONTAINERS

AKING a container which the
Mproducer can pack, and which

as packed can go through to the
consumer unbroken, half bushel bas—
kets are in limited use in a consider-
able number of shipping districts.
Their use will probably grow.

Then the bottom is put on. Time is
saved in packing, less skill is re-
quired, and when the retailer re-
moves the top for display, the top
apples are uninjured. _

Onions and other products now go
to market from the South and some
other sections in ﬁbre boxes. A
nifty package! The shipper put his
advertisement on the box.

Things are happening fast these
days in the ﬁeld of fruit and veget—
able containers. The use of bushel
baskets for apples and other fruits
and vegetables has had astonishing
growth. It is now the commonest
package in some districts which,
four years ago, had hardly seen a
basket used for apple shipment.

Several points have established
thebasket in use. First, it is econ—
omical. Nested, it is readily shipped
from factory to country shipper, and
readily stored prior to use. .Numer-
ous eﬂ‘icient ways of tiering baskets
in cars have been originated. Re-
tailers like baskets for display pur—
poses; something about the rounded
effect is very appealing to customers.
With its handles, the basket is very
conveniently handled—all along the
route from producer to consumer.
Improved methodsof manufacture
have made the modern basket light,
yet strong.

Finally, the bushel basket is of a
size adapted to modern conditions.
Retailers like to buy in bushel units;
the unit suits consumers.

’ - McCormick-«Deming15—30Tractor
Offers You Power Based on
Five Construction Principles

1, Sturdy Unit Main Frame—

Extends the entire length of the tractor; its shape and design make it an unfailing

foundation for the working parts. No twisting nor yielding. Permits the entire
tractor to be built with greater precision, which reduces wear and vibration.

2. Ball and Roller Bearings at 28 Points—-

The power of the sturdy McCormick-Deering engine is carried without unneces-
‘ sary loss through smooth-running ball and roller bearings to the drive wheels or belt
pulleye-steady, dependable power, at your command through long years of service.

3. Unit Censtruction—Easily Accessible—
Every important part [engine, transmission, steering assembly, etc.] of the McCor-
mick-Deering 15-30 is built and testedas a separate unit, then bolted securely into
place in the rigid main frame. Easily removed and repaired in the ﬁeld or shop.
No unnecessary delay and expense.

4. Ball-Bearing Engine—
. The crankshaft has two heavy-duty ball bearings. This design minimizes friction
and shaft breakage—a feature years ahead of general practice. All wearing parts

are replaceable, including the cylinder walls. There should be no limit to the

5. Operator Comfort, Convenience and Safety—
Assured by the roomy platform, wide fenders, adjustable seat and foot levers, mini-
Imum vibration, well-balanced weight, adjustable drawbar, throttle governor and
Alemite lubricating system. All gears and important bearings are enclosed and run
in an oil bath. No moving parts exposed.

condition gave the bushel basket‘its,
initial foothold in many localitiesse‘
its low cost. When apple barito’lly
reached over $1.50 in the East, Vcome

for apples, there was a landslide to
the basket. In boxed territory, the
basket is much used for the lower_

grades.

MIDWAY UNNECESSARY
N answer to your recent query: “Is
I the Midway Necessary to support
Our Fairs?” I am expressing my'
views. To my mind the midway is
both vulgar and unnecessary. It ‘
awakens the gambling spirit and
caters to the morbid and curious. I
have seen with disgust the hardboil-
ed proprietors of games of chance
rake in the children’s hard—earned

‘coins with brawling and unconcerned

manner.

A fair should be free from vulgar
and grotesque carnival features, and '_
instead, foster a keen and honest'
spirit of worthy competition in all
lines. It should encourage the young;
generation to higher ideals, not low-
er. It is not desirable to deprive the
youngsters of all wholesome amuse-
ments at a fair, so by all means let
us retain a clean and ﬁrst class free
grandstand show, and the ferris
wheel, whip and frolic, they all have
their places. A good movie, musical
treats or even a public dance pavil-
ion, conducted by proper ofﬁcials
would be a vast improvement instead
of the now prevailing and undesir—
able Midway—J. J. G., Akron, Mich.

Nephewsz—
Last week a letter came. to me
from one of my nephews ,(II

tai‘ned’ the tollowi'ng: _ _
“I would" like to get a. squirrel mr
a pet. Would you please give. me

that would catch. them and not harm
them? They are such frisky little
follows that I‘ Would like to catch
on},

He must be a new member of the
Children’s Hour because if he has
been a. reader-of our department for
some time he should know what I-
think of capturing the animals that
roam the woods and molds to make
pets of them.

I will not. tell him how toimake a
trap. God' did not put the squirrel
on earth to be caged up as a pet tor
man. What would you think it
some great giant's "captured us and
placed no in cages and made us stay
there the rest of our lives? We
would not like it, would we? 0!
course not, and neither would the
squirrel.

It you wish. to make a. pet of a
squirrel. it is not necessary to catch
it and put it in a. cage. It you have
ever been. to Detroit and visited
Belle Isle you no doubt have noticed
how friendly the squirrels are on
the island. Some of them will even

I eat from your hand if you are very

quiet. Squirrels imthe country wiill
be just as tame if you are carefuL
Spread food where they can ﬁnd it,
keep some distance Off while they
eat for several days, then each day
come a little nearer and before you
know it you will be able to stand
Within a. short distance of them and
they will not be afraid. Within a
few weeks they will expect you to
feed them and watch for your com—
ing. With kindness and patience
you will be able to Win their friend-
ship.

Our contest is coming along nicely
as shown by a few samples on this
page of“ the letters I have received
so far. Most of the letters are very
well written and show careful
thought and I am sure we are going
to have considerable trouble in de-
ciding the winner.—UNCLE NED.

is needed to satisfy the- little chicke thirst. At
ﬁrst, until they are about: three days old there
is moisture enough in their food for them. but
after that you. will have to set a dish of water

the chickens shelter or coope. Their coope should
be set facing the cost so they will get the ﬁrst
rays of sun- in the morning. This is neceesry
because chickens are always up so soon so it is
day light, and as it is generally cool then they
need all the warmth they can not. They should
have plenty of. room. in their ooopo and as they
they should have. roosts to set on when they as

I think people can take core of their chickens

oi-ent to operate a 'few lights Without

it might be possible that one of
either two :plans of storage could be
used in this case. If a reservoir
could be built to store the water
then a large ﬂew might be used for
a shorter period of the day. To i1-
lustrate onecquarter H. P. useable
for 24 hours of the day would be
equal to 1 H. P. useable for. one-
quarter day or 6 hours or 2 H. P.
for 3 hours. If the water was stored
so that the light and power could
be used only as needed then a larger
wheel and generator could be used,
probably this would be a more pract-
ical installation. However if devel-
poed at the slower rate through the

Home made machines could be
constructed for this purpose but are
rather impractical because they do

found more practical than the tur-
bin.—H. H. Musselman, Professor of

QUACKGRASS DIFFICULT TO
EXTERMINATE
UACKGRASS can rarely be ex—
Q terminated on large areas, but
it can be brought under reason-
able control, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. The

' gested

 
best plan, according "to Farmer!
Bulletin 13:07, Quackgram, awn 1m»;

Kephart ml the Bureau of run: him."

dustry, is «to aliow it to form's}  9
and then plow it in midsummer 
ing dry, hot weather. After plun-
111g,
frequently until winter and the fol-
lowing year planted with a cultivat—
ed crop. ‘

To be effective against quackgrass
cultivation and harrowing must be
thorough, frequent, and persistent.
Half way cultivation is worse than
none. Certain systems of cropping
are suggested in the bulletin as a.-
means of holding quackgrass in
check on large areas. The use of
smother crops that make a. heavy.
dense growth and kill the weeds by
crowding‘and shading is also sag-
under certain conditions.
Miscellaneous methods of control {or
small areas are discussed. Gunman
patches tar paper covering can ,be
used effectively to smother the
quackgrass, but this method is too
laborious for large areas.

Those interested in the methods
of quackgrass control may have the
bulletin free of charge by writing to
the U., S. Dept. of Agriculture.

"   ' “To overcome that it is necessary

« ' ' to insert .9. trap in the pipe just .be-

" '  dowthe ﬂoor, where you make the

 ,, chard,” explained Dan. “There is a
, ~r:  picture in the ‘book that shows .just
' _ how it is done.”

. , a “ 'Traps are usually placed direct—
‘ l  ly beneath the ﬁxture, but since in a
' '  ~_  great many cases sinks are installed
* dn houses not heated by a furnace,
. r . the trap will be less likely to freeze
  if placed just below the ﬂoor line.
‘ ' as shown. ~
~ “ ‘In cases where a long waste
,  ’ pipe is neCessary., it will be best to
' use 11/2 (inch iron pipe with threaded
 V , 7 ﬁttings. The trap used is a half S
 j  .sact trap provided with a cleanout
‘ w,  plugat the bottom, for use in case it
' r . v r becomes clogged. Elbows, tees, etc,
,4  used in connecting the waste pipe
‘ ‘9 . ' should be special drainage fittings if
 they can be secured.
. - ' “ ‘~It will be necessary to have a
'  1 , Special ﬁtting :to attach an iron pipe
' ' J. V to the sink. '

,  ’ ' “ Occasionallya lead trap is used
«‘5  beneath the sink, and sometimes this
f},  :is attached to an iron waste pipe.
- ‘ " This connection can be made with .an
, ; «ordinary cast union (a union with a

g  V brass seat is better). Screw the
. " vleatd pipe into the ":half of the union
.  having the brass :seat until it projects
‘ ' through about % of an inch; then
ﬂange over. The ﬂange on the lead
, _  pipe will serve as a gasket.

' I. “ ‘The best location for the grease
‘ trap is close to the cellar wall. This
location reduces é) a minimum the

possibility of clogging in the sewer.

“ ‘Procure a barrel of large size;
it need not be perfectly tight. Dig
a. hole in the ground close to the wall ‘
at the point where the waste pipe
comes through. This hole should be
about 8 inches larger than the diam-
eter of the barrel and about 15
inches deeper than the barrel is high.

“ ‘Pnt about 3 in. of concrete in
the bottom of the hole and tamp
down. About 16 inches of the lead
waste pipe should extend into the
hole. It need not be bent downward
until after the barrel has been re-
moved. Place the barrel in the

GETTING THE GARDEN SPIRIT
HEREVER there is soil, plants
grow and produce their kind,
and, all plants are interesting.
Every family should try and make
their home their castle and be proud
of it. What difference does it make it
you do rent the land. The outside of
one’s home speaks very plainly what
kind of folks dwell within.
plant in a tin can may be a more
helpful and inspiring garden to
some mind than a whole acre of lawn
and ﬂowers may be to another. The
satisfaction of a garden does not de-
pend on the area, nor happily on the
cost or rarity of the plants. It de-
pends on the temper of the person.
One must ﬁrst seek to love plants
and nature and then to cultivate the
happy peace of mind that is satisﬁed
with what they have.

We are won’t to covet the things
that we cannot have, but we are
happier when we love the things that
grow because they must. A patch
of lusty pigweeds growing and
crowding in luxuriast abandon may
be a better and more worthy object
of affection than a bed of coleuses in
thich every spark of life and spirit
and individuality has been sheared
out and supressed. The man who
worries morning and night about the
dandelions in the lawn will ﬁnd
great relief in loving the dandelions.
Each blossom is worth more than a
gold coin, as it shines in the sun—
light of the growing spring, and at—
tracts the insects to its bosom.

Little children like the dande-
Why not we? Love the
things nearest at hand; and love in-
tensely. If I were to write a motto
over the gate of a garden, I should
choose the remark that Socrates the
great philcgopher made as he saw
the luxuries in the market: “How
much their is in this world that I
do not want.”

VEGETABLES AS HEALTH-
BUILDERS

F any of you folks attended Farm-
1 ers’ Week in Lansing this winter

I am sure you must have been
impressed with the wonderful pro—
gram of talks on life on a farm and
some of the remedies these speakers
tried so hard to have the farm moth-
er take home with her.

It is hard to make our women
folks believe they are not bringing
up the family right. Too little has
been said to help us realize the im—
portance of vegetables in our diet
and the wonders that these vege—
tables do for our bodies in making
us strong and healthy.

Altho strange as it seems, the
farmer usually tills his fields and
raises food for the market and the

’ garden for the family is forgotten.

Why; not this year have a small
plot laid aside and have the children
take an interest. Make them feel
responsible for the weeding and if
it is necessary and I think it only
right, suggest a small amount to be
paid them or else the promise of the
treat in town when you go.

Children are told to eat carrots
if they want color in their cheeks
and beets to be strong and able to
romp and play. Just how much
there is to this is hard to say,
but all the root crops are rich in vita—
mines and the elements that aid di-
gestion. Carrots are rich in the
coloring matter known as “carrotin,”
which is also present in green grass
and gives the rich color to the cow’s
milk during the early summer. Rad-
ishes are effective for warding of!
scurvy and similar disorders and are
eaten-more as a salad than a true
vegetable. .

‘ Root crops such as carrots, beets,
parsnips and salsify, yield large
quantities of actual food- from a

HOW TO EARN MONEY AT HOME

' could be done at home and a little spare time taken to do or make
these things that will bring in more money.

tremely hot weather of summer. In
the north parsnips require the en—
tire growing season for their devel—
opment and’may be left in the
ground during the winter and to a
certain degree improve with freez-
ing. ‘
The essentials for growing root
crops are a deep, rich, well-drained
soil, good seed proper thinning and
frequent shallow cultivation. None
of the root crops, with the possible

exception of beets, can be transplant-v

ed su ce sfully as the breaking of
the tap oot in transplanting causes

them to grow rough and distorted»

The proper method is to sprde and
pulverize the soil 8 to 10 inches deep,
working ﬁne fertilizer to the full
depth of spading, then sow the seeds

where they are to grow and thin out

the plants so that every plant left
has room to develop. In the case of
beets what appears to be a seed is
really a seed “ball” containing one
to three seeds, consequently beets us-
ually come up much thicker than the
gardner expects. Carrot and pars-
nip seed lose their vitality or power
to grow very quickly and seed of last
year’s production should always be
used.

When it comes to planting the
beets, carrots and other root crops
the soil which has been spaded and
fertilized should be raked smooth
and the little rows or furrows form—
ed by means of the hoe handle or a
rounded stick drawn along a tight
line. The distance between rows
may be about 18 inches for beets and
carrots and at least 24 inches for
parsnips and salsify. The seeds
should not be covered more than one
inch deep on sandy land and less on
heavy soils, and the soil ‘ used for
covering them should always be ﬁne
and mellow. If the soil is in the
least dry it should be firmed over the
seeds by laying a board on top of the
row after the seeds are covered, then
walking on the board.

Beans and peas make muscle and
backbone.

BLUE AMONG YOUR FLOWERS
LUE is a color that is not com-
mon among garden ﬂowers, and
yet there are some very pretty
blues We may have. The blue corn-
ﬂower has long been a garden favor-
ite. No blue makes much of a show-
ing unless planted with white or per-
haps a decided pink or bright red. In
some cases several colors are com-
bined. I do not like these mixtures,
however, as one companion color
with blue always looks best.

White sets off the blue without be-
ing too “showy,” or in a background
where display is desirable bright red
is effective with a bright blue. Altho
the cornﬂower (centaurea cyanus) is
planted more than any other tall
blue ﬂower, there are ﬁve blues
among the annual larkspurs and
asters which are very desirable.
Larkspurs bloom a. long time in sum—

mer, and the asters bloom late in the
fall when the ﬂowers are scarce.

' summ
bloom for only a snort periods If e ,
. 'the soil has not been prepared in-the 
fall, the ﬁrst thing to do as soon as]
' the ground will allow working is to ‘

Larkspurs. are more showy than’

cornﬂowers. Whites and reds can
be obtained in each of these, or some

other ﬂower that is taller and
blooms with them may be used as a~
background. Nicotiana makes a

nice companion plant to grow with
cornﬂowers. Asters, however, are
massive ﬂowers, so are prettier when
grown in’ a mass with whites or reds
of the same ﬂower.

Ageratums, Apansies, verbenas and
lobelias are all low growing ﬂowers
with good blues. The ageratum
comes in blue and White only. It is
easy to grow and quite popular, but
I do not admire it very much. The
verbena is one of our ﬁnest ﬂowers
a trailer much valued for planting
among gladioli or other tall plants.
The pansy is too well known and lov—
ed to need praise. The lobelia is not
so well known as it deserves, for it
is very pretty, grows low, is com, .LCt,
likes shade and is an intense blue.

BlRD HOUSES ON THE GROUNDS
HIS year would be a splendid one
T to have John build you a bird
house or purchase one. Birds
are one of our best friends and they
help in their own way to prevent in-
sect life getting too far with our
trees and shrubs. A bird making
ready his home for the mate teaches
us humans a great deal in love and
respect. They bring happiness un-
told with their songs of love.
Henry Ford is a great lover of
birds, and his home and other prop-
erties he owns are just alive with

birds making their nest ready in

the many bird—houses he has had
put up on his ground. Let us take a
little while this spring and see if we
cannot improve our surroundings.

 
SWEET PEAS FOR EVERY
GARDEN ‘ .

HE sweet pea deserves a place in

T every garden for it isnot to be

surpassed by any other annual
when it comes to beauty, fragrance,
range of color, and usefulness for

For early ﬂowers the winter ﬂow-

are older types of the ﬂower which
will be discarded by all rowers of
sweet peas when once they ave tried
the Spencer variety with the long
stems and beautiful waved edges.

Location and Soil ‘

Choose a site for your sweet peas
that will' give them plenty of sun and
allow you to run the rows north and
south, for 'by so planting, the tops
shade the base of the plants and
keep the soil cool.

Sweet peas will grow in any good
garden soil if itis well drained so
that the water does not stand around

soil is not good, it should be removed

best in heavy soil if it is sweetened

GREENS AS A MEDICINE
NE of/the ways of preventing the
human system from suﬁering

from digestive monotony is to ,

provide plenty of green or leaf vege-
tables in the diet. Fresh green- food
not only serves as the broom for the
stomach, but supplies the human
system with the mineral elements
that are so essential to health.

Spinach, kale, mustard, dandelion,
sour grass and other kinds of greens
taste best in spring because they are
more tender and fresher at that time.

By the use of coldframes, cover-
ings of straw or pine boughs and
other means of protection, spinach
and kale may be carried through the
winter rather far north.

Beds on which late fall, Winter
and early spring kale ’and' spinach
are grown should be raised three to
inches above the surrounding
surface so as to drain well. They
are best located on a. southern of
eastern exposure to get the full ben-
eﬁt of the sun. A shelter of pine
boughs or corn fodder along the
north and west sides of the beds is a.
great protection against cold and
wind. Plenty of fertilizer is essent—
ial where fall plantings are made for
spring use.

Highly nitrogenous fertilizers
should not be applied until after the
cold weather or until active growth
of th plants begins. ’

The season for greens on the
table can be prolonged during the
spring and summer. Mixtures of
young, tender beet tops, swissrr
chards, mustard and other greens
may be made. In combining the mix-
ture for can‘ning only a small pro-
portion of mustard or. of any pun-
gent green material should be used.

Mothers Problems

 
TRAIN CHILDREN TO MEET
EMERGENCIES
0 child is too young to be trained
for an emergency: yet accidents,
with their terrible conse-
quences, are not good subjects for a
child to dwell upon. The knowledge
of “what to do'if ” must be im-
parted in a pleasant way—~and there
is no pleasanter way than by means
of a game which Mother and the
children can play whenever they are
together.

Says the mother: “What would
you do if your clothes should ever
catch on fire?” The children will
probably give varying answers, some
good, some highly impractical, even
dangerous. Finally the mother tells
what she would do, which is,‘ of
course, the correct course to pursue
in such an accident.

It is then time for the child who
gave the best answer to ask Mother
a question. She may think of some
big accident, such as burning, [drown-
ing, being run over and the like, as
she may be more interested in know-
ing what Mother would do in case
her “nose got to bleeding and would-

 
"n’t stop,” or she “got caught in a

snowstorm and couldn’t see a thing.”
In either case the-information gained
would be invaluable if ever she was
called upon to meet such an emerg-
ency. .

Far fewer fatal ies would result
from accidents if eople wereonly

trained to do the proper. thing. Moth- ' ' '

GETTING THE GARDEN SPIRIT

HEREVER there is soil, plants
. grow and produce their kind,

and, all plants are interesting.
"Every family should try and make
their home their castle and be proud
of it. What diﬁerence does it make it
you do rent the land. The outside of
one’s home speaks very plainly what
kind of folks dwell within.
plant in a tin can may be a more
helpful and inspiring garden to
some mind than a whole acre of lawn

and ﬂowers may be to another. The

satisfaction of a garden does not de-
pend on the area, nor happily on the
cost or rarity of the plants. It de-
pends on the temper of the person.
One must ﬁrst seek to love plants
and nature and then to cultivate the
happy peace of mind that is satisﬁed
with what they have.

We are won’t to covet the things
that we cannot have, but we are
happier when we love the things that
grow because they must. A patch
of lusty pigweeds growing and
crowding in luxuriast abandon may
be a better and more worthy object
of affection than a bed of coleuses in
thich every spark of life and spirit
and individuality has been sheared
out and supressed. The man who
worries morning and night about the
dandelions in the lawn will ﬁnd
great relief in loving the dandelions.
Each blossom is worth more than a
gold coin, as it shines in the sun—
light of the growing spring, and at—
tracts the insects to its bosom.

Little children like the dande—
-lions. Why not we? Love the
v things nearest at hand; and love in-
tensely. If I were to write a motto
over the gate’ of a garden, I should
choose the remark that Socrates the
great philqopher made as he saw
the luxuries in the market: “How
much their is in this world that I
do not want.”

VEGETABLES AS HEALTH-
BUILDERS

F any of you folks attended Farm-
1 ers’ Week in Lansing this winter

I am sure you must have been
impressed with the wonderful pro—
gram of talks on life on a farm and
some of the remedies these speakers
tried so hard to have the farm moth-
er take home with her.

It is hard to make our women
folks believe they are not bringing
up the family right. Too little has
been said to help us realize the im—
portance of vegetables in our diet
and the wonders that these vege-
tables do for our bodies in making
us strong and healthy.

Altho strange as it seems, the
farmer usually tills his ﬁelds and
raises food for the market and the
‘ garden for the family is forgotten.

Why; not this year have a small
plot laid aside and have the children
take an interest. Make them feel
responsible for the weeding and if
it is necessary and I think it only
right, suggest a small amount to be
paid them or else the promise of the
treat in town when you go.

Children are told to eat carrots
if they want color in their cheeks
and beets to be strong and able to
romp and play. Just how much
there is to this is hard to say,
but all the root crops are rich in vita-
mines and the elements that aid di—
gestion. Carrots are rich in the
coloring matter known as “carrotin,”
which is also present in green grass
and gives the rich color to the cow’s
milk during the early summer. Rad-
ishes are effective for warding off
scurvy and similar disorders and are
eaten'more as a salad than a true

’ ' vegetable.

Surely. there are some of

experiences. God has made

 
tremely hot weather of summer. In
the north parsnips require the en-
tire growing season for their devel-
opment and’may be left in the
ground during the winter and to a
certain degree improve with freez-
ing. ‘
The essentials for growing root
crops are a deep, rich, well-drained
soil, good seed proper thinning and
frequent shallow cultivation. None
of the root crops, With the possible

exception of beets, can be transplant,

ed successfully as the breaking of
the tap root in transplanting causes

them to grow rough and distorted-

The proper method is to sprde and
pulverize the soil 8 to 10 inches deep,
working ﬁne fertilizer to the full
depth of spading, then sow the seeds
where they are to grow and thin out
the plants so that every plant left
has room to develop.
beets what appears to be a seed is
really a seed “ball” containing one
to three seeds, consequently beets us—
ually come up much thicker than the
gardner expects. Carrot and pars-
nip seed lose their vitality or power
to grow very quickly and seed of last
year’s production should always be
used.

When it comes to planting the
beets, carrots and other root cr0ps
the soil which has been spaded and
fertilized should be raked smooth
and the little rows or furrows form—
ed by means of the hoe handle or a
rounded stick drawn along a tight
line. The distance between rows
may be about 18 inches for beets and
carrots and at least 24 inches for
parsnips and salsify. The seeds
should not be‘covered more than one
inch deep on sandy land and less on
heavy soils, and the soil used for
covering them should always be ﬁne
and mellow. If the soil is in the
least dry it should be ﬁrmed over the
seeds by laying a board on top of the
row after the seeds are covered, then
walking on the board.

Beans and peas make muscle and
backbone.

 
BLUE AMONG YOUR FLOWERS
LUE is a color that is not com-
mon among garden ﬂowers, and
yet there are some very-pretty
blues we may have. The blue corn-
ﬂower has long been a garden favor—
ite. No blue makes much of a show-
ing unless planted with white or per-
haps a decided pink or bright red. In
some cases several colors are com-
bined. I do not like these mixtures,
however, as one companion color
with blue always looks best.

White sets off the blue without be-
ing too “showy,” or in a background
where display is desirable bright red
is effective with a bright blue. Altho
the cornﬁower (centaurea cyanus) is
planted more than any other tall
blue ﬂower, there are ﬁve blues
among the annual larkspurs and
asters which are very desirable.
Larkspurs bloom a long time in sum-

In the case of

mer, and the asters bloom late in the
fall when the ﬂowers are scarce.

Larkspurs. are more showy than’

cornﬂowers. Whites and reds can
be obtained in each of these, or some
other ﬂower that is taller and

blooms with them may be used as as

background. Nicotiana makes a
nice companion plant to grow with
c'ornﬂowers. Asters, however, are
massive ﬂowers, so are prettier when
grown in a mass with whites or reds
of the same ﬂower.

Ageratums, pansies, verbenas and
lobelias are all low growing ﬂowers
with good blues. Tho ageratum
comes in blue and white only. It is
easy, to grow and quite popular, but
I do not admire it very much. ' The
verbena is one of our ﬁnest ﬂowers
a trailer much valued for planting
among gladioli or other tall plants.
The pansy is too well known and lov-
ed to need praise. The lobelia is not
so well known as it deserves, for it
is very pretty, grows low, is com, .LCt,

1 likes shade and is an intense blue.

BIRD HOUSES ON THE GROUNDS
HIS year would be a splendid one
to have John build you a bird
house or purchase one. Birds
are one of our best friends and they
help in their own way to prevent in-
sect life getting too far with our
trees and shrubs. A bird making
ready his home for the mate teaches
us humans a great deal in love and
respect. They bring happiness un-
told with their songs of love.
Henry Ford is a great lover of
birds, and his home and other prop—
erties he owns are just alive with

birds making their nest ready in»

the many bird-houses he has had
put up on his ground. Let us take a
little while this spring and see if we
cannot improve our surroundings.

 
SWEET PEAS FOR EVERY
GARDEN - ,

HE sweet pea deserves a place in

T every garden for it ispnot to be

surpassed by any other annual
when it comes to beauty, fragrance,
range of color, and usefulness for
cut ﬂowers. ‘

For early ﬂowers the winter ﬂow-
ering type’is useful. The Waved or
Spencer varieties are much superior
to the Grandiﬂora varieties. These
are older types of the ﬂower which
will be discarded by all rowers of
sweet peas when once they ave tried
the Spencer variety with the long
stems and beautiful waved edges.

Location and Soil ‘

Choose a site for your sweet peas
that will‘ give them plenty of sun and
allow you to run the rows north and
south, for by so planting, the tops
shade‘ the base of the plants and
keep the soil cool.

Sweet peas will grow in any-good
garden soil if ibis well drained so
that the, water does not stand around
the plants during rainy periods.

GREENS AS A MEDICINE
NE of/the ways of preventing the

human system from suffering-”

from digestive monotony is to.
provide plenty of green or leaf vege-
tables in the diet. Fresh green food
not only serves as the broom for the
stomach, but supplies the human
system with the mineral elements
that are so essential to health.

Spinach, kale, mustard, dandelion,
sour grass and other kinds of greens
taste best in spring because they are
more tender and fresher at that time.

By the use of coldframes, cover—
ings of straw or pine boughs and
other means of protection, spinach
and kale may be carried through the
winter rather far north.

Beds on which late fall, Winter
and early spring kale ‘and' spinach
are grown should be raisedthree to
inches above the surrounding
surface so as to drain well. They
are best located on a southern of
eastern exposure to get the full ben—
eﬁt of the sun. A shelter of pine
boughs or corn fodder along the
north and west sides of the beds is a.
great protection against cold and
wind. Plenty of fertilizer is essentv
ial where fall plantings are made for
spring use.

Highly nitrogenous_ fertilizers
should not be applied until after the
cold weather or until active growth
of th plants begins.

The season for greens on the,
table can be prolonged during the
spring and summer. Mixtures of
young, tender beet tops, swiss
chards, mustard and other greens
may be made. In combining the mix-
ture for canning only a small pro-
portion of mustard or. of any punv
gent green material should be used.

Mothers Problems

 
TRAIN CHILDREN TO MEET
EMERGENCIES
0 child is too young to be trained
for an emergency: yet accidents,
with their terrible conse-
quences, are not good subjects for a.
child to dwell upon. The. knowledge
of “what to do'if ” must be im-
parted in a pleasant way—and there
is no pleasanter way than by means.
of a game which Mother and the
children can play whenever they are
together.

Says the mother: “What would
you do if your clothes should ever
catch on ﬁre?” The children will
probably give varying answers, some
good, some highly impractical,’even
dangerous. Finally the mother tells.
what she would do, which is,‘ of
course, the correct course to pursue
in such an accident. .

It is then time for the child who
gave the best answer to ask Mother
a question. She may think of some
big accident, such as burning, drown-
ing, being run over and the like, as
she may be more interested in know-
ing what Mother would do in case
her “nose got to bleeding and would-
n't stop,” or she "got caught in a
snowstorm and couldn’t see a thing."
In either case the'information gained
would be invaluable if ever she was

 
‘ called upon' to meet such an emerg-

ency. A ~

Far fewer fatal ies would result
from accidents if eople were only
trained to do the proper thing. Moth-

HE number of heavy, fed Peme
weighing from 45 to 50 pounds

, dressed weight tiara
ing recent months has. been. consider-i
a.ny in excess of the dammit Am in»
vestigation recently made by the“

United States Departinent of Agri-
culture, to determine the. reason

lamb developed the fact  hotels,
restaurants, railroad dining can sys-
tems and steamship: lines are? able to
utilize heavy lamb cuts to advant-
age, but that the. average housewife,
with e. smlalrf‘aniiy' considers lighter
weight cuts more economical for
family use. ,

As a; result. of. imper breeding;
for the production“ or wool and mark
ton, docks in general have increased
somewhat in: average. weight. Pro-
ducers complain: that they are un-
able properly to. furnish lambs for
the market under 90'- to» 100 pounds,.
which means a; dressed carcass
weighing from 25' to 56 pounds. On
the other hand, consumers" prefer.-
ence has turned; toward lighter cuts
of all classes of meat, and for this
reason heavy lam-b. has hen at a. dis-
advantage. The additional amounts
of fat found on heavy lamb- cuts is
also responsible for some of the pre-
'juddoo against this class of meat, as
lamb" fat is not relished by most
meat consumers. _

A cutting test was recently made.
by the department on ﬁve light and
ﬁve heavy lambs of good" grade- The
1 light lambs averaged 33 pounds and
isold at. wholesale at 26 cents. per
zpound. The heavy lambs averaged
' 45.80. pounds, and. brought 2i cents
:per pound wholesale. The price of‘
:thc light lambs therefore. was $8.58
‘ and. that of the. heavy lambs $10.99.
’ In. other words the heavy lambs were
‘worth $2.41 more than. the light
.lambs on a carcass. basis; The car-
2masses were divided into the usual
, wholesale cuts, namely rattles, racks
:and saddles, and the percentage
weights of these cuts were practical-
ly the same in both instances.

I The rattles, consisting of the
shoulder, neck and- breast, and the
racks, of 8 ribs, were valued at 12
cents and 4 cents per pound respect—v
ively in both cases- However, the
saddlm consisting of the leg and
loin, sold at 34; cents per pound
when out from the light lambs, while
the heavy saddles sold at 30 cents
‘per pound. The higher prices which
retailers were willing to pay for the

“former is due to the consumers’

preference for light legs of lamb.

Retail prices. at cash» and carry
and credit. and delivery markets dun-
ing the same period were as follows:
Legs 350-450 per pound, loin and.
rib chops 45c-60c, breast for stewing
100-150, shoulders 206-256. These
prices represent the general range
covering, retail cuts from‘ light and
aheavy lambs.

Most retail dealers who cater to
llami‘ly trade are averse- to purchase
ﬁng heavy lam-b except in Hunted
quantities. on account of the difﬁcul-
ty of! disposing of the legs. The
Egreatest. demand is for legs of lamb
weighing from 5% ~ to (l pounds
These are obtained from lambs
weighing from 33 to 35. pounds
dressed weight, Whereas a 46 to 50
pound lhnnb produces a leg weigh-
Eng 8 pounds or more. Some- retail-
ers have attempted to solve this dit-
ﬂculty by cutting on? enough chops
or steaks from the leg to reduce it
no the most desired weight, and as»
are have made price (ﬁlterentlals
amounting to fully 6 cents per pound.
in favor of the heavy legs, without
being able to materially widen the
outlet. ,

Forequarters, which are, used for
stews, roasts and shoulder chops.
can easily be divided into cuts of any
idesired weight, and‘~f0r this reason
llllttle distinction is made in prices

Better Potato Prices Expected This Year

T is not my intention to pose as an
1 expert nor as a large grower with
a liftetime of experience; but I
have raised a good many potatoes
over a period of several years and
it is my opinion that given a normal
season and careful attention the
1923 potato crop will again be on the
proﬁt side of the grower’s ledger.

There will surely be a consider-
able decrease in acreage this year
unless human nature has subjected
itself to. great and sudden change.

The enormOus increase in acreage
in 1922 was due obviously to the
nice proﬁts obtained by the 1921
grower, and a general feeling that
in the face of the disastrous year of
small ,grain anyone who planted
potatoes would just as surely take
a good proﬁt for his trouble.

Farm papers and near farm pa-
pers were full of propaganda, de-
voting page on page to potato pro—
ﬁts, poato culture and seed treat-
ment, grades and what not, until
everyone was willing and anxious to
snuggle and cuddle up to the win-
some spud. _

I know of those whose experience

was limited to about a couple of
rowsgrown in the garden,'plunging
in with anywhere from 20 to 60
acres. This may not sound so much
to some; but if it is properly and
thoroughly done it is undoubtedly “a
right smart of a chaw” for those
who have yet to cut their wisdom
teeth on the ring of experience.
 I feel it is safe to opine that, in
the face of the high cost of produc-
tion on last year’s crop, the diﬂicul-
ties encountered .in transportation
andthe continued demoralized con-
dition of the market, we will have
with us this year very few of last
year’s ﬁedgings. . x . i

For the same reasons, the regular
grower who expanded his operations
last year will likely drop back to his
normal acreage again.

There are many old saws current
among us, some wise and some
otherwise. One that I have heard
many times, most emphatically be-
longs to the latter class: “Oh: if
you can get two bits a bushel you
can make a little money on spuds.”
If this were ever true, it is certainly
obsolete under present conditions
and methods of culture;

What with scab, wilt and bugs
common in all sections, and the
blight rapidly encroaching on our
territory, 25 cents per bushel falls
considerably short of paying for pro-

duction. With I all the material,
machinery and labor involved in pro-
tecting the crop from pests and dis-.-
eases, comes a much heavier pro-
duction expense than was'the case
when the country was new and
spraying and treating were not nec-
essary. The coming of these pests
also greatly increased. the
of failure. .’ » .

Under the conditions existing here
in the north central part of. South
Dakota, where the yield will hardly
average 90 bushels to the acre, I
hardly think a real proﬁt will mate-
rialize much below 75 ,cents per
bushel. When I say proﬁt, I have
in mind more than merely getting
the cost of production along with
ordinary wages for the labor in-
volved. No one takes longer chances
than the farmer, and few average

businessmen have anything'like as ‘

much capital invested as has the
average land—owning farmer.. By the
same token, few deserve the same
margin of net proﬁt that he should
have for bucking these long chances.

While the potato grower is un-
doubtedly a great gambler, he cer-
tainly is not in all Cases a good one,
as there always, has been and prob-
ably always will be many who will.
quit- while they are losers and a.
great many more who in spite'of all
experience and advice to the con-
trary, will continue to quit one year.
and plunge the next in a hopeless
attempt to be always on the right

\ side of their pocketbooks.

Another old saw that is current

of years the good crops will certainly- ‘

Experience of

zventing White Diarrhea.

The following letter will no doubt

‘ ,i be of utmost interest to poultry rais-
" ers who have had serious losses from

~ White Diarrhea.
Bradshaw tell of her experience in_

We will let Mrs.

her own words:

“Gentlemen: I see reports of so

7 -many losing their little chicks-with
' White Diarrhea, so thought I would

tell my experience. I used to lose .a
great many‘from this cause, tried
many remedies and was about dis-
couraged. As a last resort I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 687,
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko
White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two
50c packages, raised 300 White
Wyandottes and never lost one or
had one'sick after giving the medi-
cine and my chickens are larger and
healthier than ever before. I have
found this company thoroughly re-
liable and always get the remedy by
return mail.——Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw,
Beaconsﬁeld, Iowa.”

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the
Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum. This
germ is transmitted to the baby

' 1 chick through the yolk of the newly
hatched egg.

Readers are warned
to beware of White Diarrhea. Don't
wait until it kills half your chicks.
Take the “stitch in time that save
nine." Remember, there is scarcely
a hatch without some infected chicks.
Don’t let these few infect your entire
ﬂock. Prevent it. Give Walko in all
drinking water for the ﬁrst two
weeks and you won’t lose one chick
where you“ lost hundreds before.
These letters prove it:

Never Lost a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share
of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fin-

ally I sent for two packages of Wal—
ko. I raised over 500 chicks and I
never lost a single chick from White
Diarrhea. Walko not only prevents
White Diarrhea, but it gives the
chicks strength and vigor; they de—
velop quicker and feather earlier."

Never Lost One After. First
Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shennandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My ﬁrst incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, be-
gan‘to die by the dozens with White
Diarrhea. I tried different remedies
and was about discouraged with the
chicken business. Finally, I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo,
Iowa, for a box of their Walko White
It’s just the only
thing for this terrible disease. We
raised 700 thrifty, healthy chicks
and never lost a single chick after
the ﬁrst dose."

You Run No Risk

We will send Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy entirely at our risk—
postage prepaid—so you can see for
yourself what a wonder-working
remedy it is for White Diarrhea in
babygchicks. So you can prove—as
thousands have proven—that it will
stop your losses and double, treble,
even quadruple your proﬁts. Send
60c for package of Walko—~give it in
all drinking water for the ﬁrst two
weeks and watch results. You’ll
ﬁnd you won't lose one chick where
you lost hundreds before. It’s a pos-
itive tact. We guarantee it. The
Leavitt & Johnson National Bank,
the oldest and' strongest bank in
waterloo, Iowa, stands back of this

POULTRY MORE THAN ,MERE
SIDELINE

HE day of the hit-or—miss meth-
od of handling poultry in the
United States is over. The farm-

er considers his wife’s chickens as
something worth while. Many a
farmer has paid his grocery bills the
last two years with the returns from
the ﬂock of hens that he once looked
on as his wife’s fad. Today this
same farmer is looking for better
stock. He says that with good- pure—

 
bred stock he can always get the

market for his eggs and surplus
birds. However, he ﬁnds it diﬂ‘icult
to supply the demand for this class
of stuff at several times the market
price. He has found, too, that there
are several things that enter into the
poultry business that make it inter-
esting, as well as proﬁtable.

Several years ago E. Philo of El-
mira, New York, published , book on
how to raise poultry on a ﬁfty-foot
lot. Since that book ﬁrst came out
there have been several proved tests
that the old idea the hen has to have
large runs is not altogethe; correct.
Some of our foremost poultrymen of
California and the East claim that
better egg production is obtained if
the hens are conﬁned to pens. Some
are using an eight—foot—square pen to
care for ﬁfteen hens, or a twelve—
foot—square space to aocomodate ﬁfty
hens, There is one man at River-
dale, California, that has 2,500 hens
on one acre that earned $2 per head,
last year.

The whole year’s proﬁt on an egg
farm depends on the kind of chicks
and the way they are brooded. Chicks
must be from hens not less than two
years old, mated to males whose an-
cestry has been bred for vigor and
heavy egg production for generations.
Without a vigorous, well-bred chick
to start with, nothing can be accom-
plished. Too many baby chicks are
cast upon the beginners that are
hatched from pullet’s eggs. Nine
times out of ten this means disaster
right from the start.

After securing good chicks the
next step is to brood them properly.
I believe the one great mistake in
brooding chicks is to put too many
together. Nature never intended
for 500 to 1,000 chicks to be raised
together. Best results are obtained
with not over 150 chicks in one
ﬂock. It only takes six Weeks to
brood chicks and poultrymen would
ﬁnd it more proﬁtable to spend more
time on quality instead of on quanti-
ty. Better take more time and care
the ﬁrst six weeks than to have an
inferior bunch of poultry on your
hands for the balance of the year.
There is a knack in brooding chicks
which requires. time .and -study. and
the more you can give it the greater
the success. Good, well-bred from
correct "matings, not over 150 to-
gether in brooders with no foul cor-
ners, cleanliness, and good balanced
feeds are sure to bring success.

Growing is more than a matter of
mere energy relations. It is associ-
ated on the one hand with the fac-
tors of heredity and evolution, and
on the other hand with the factors of

environment. The ﬁrst is sometimes

spoken of as the internal factor and
the latter as the external factor. As
S. D. Wilkins puts it, pronounced re-
sults in modifying the external fac-
tors is perhaps more quickly realized
than in the consideration of the for-
mer factors.

While, then, it is important for the
breeder to utilize every source of im—
provement in growing his birds, the
part played by the exercise of the ex-
ternal factors warrants much atten-
tion and study. At the outset we
must realize that neither of these
factors are independent of the other.

External Factors
I The external. factors are represent-
ed .by such conditions as climate.
habitat, temperature, air, food, wat-
er, soil; use, and disuse. Without
doubt the most important of these is
the question of the food supply and
since the supply of food cannot stim-
ulate growth beyond the limits pre-
determined by the internal or growth
impulse - factor, the importance of
understanding fully the feed require-

signiﬁcant. The term vitimine sug-
gested by Casimir Funk in 1911 is
used to designate a class of sub-
stances found in naturally occuring
food-stuffs in variable amounts but
lacking in many of the highly milled
by-product foods. '

The word vitimine is preferred to
the phrase,
stance or icod factor” for vitamines

reason why we should argue against
the use of the term vitamins or
against the vitamine theory simply
because no one has seen these sub-

agent.

Some were put in nests, some under
laying hens, and some under setting
hens. The same number of fertile
and infertile eggs were always put
under exactly the same conditions.
In a week the eggs were collected
and sold to the local grocery store
where they were candled. They
were then shipped to St. Louis
where they were again candled.

While on the farm 29 per cent of
the fertile eggs were spoiled for
food, as compared with only 16' per
cent of the infertile ones. On the
way to market 14 per cent of the
fertile ones were spoiled as . impar-
ed with 9 per cent of the infertile.
This makes a total of 43 percent of
the fertile eggs unﬁt for food as
compared with only 26 per cent of
the infertile ones—«a difference of 19
per cent. Notice that the greatest
loss in both fertile and infertile eggs
is on the farm.

In nature the purpose of the egg
is to hatch a chick. Every fertile
egg contains the germ from which a
chick may develop. Incubation will
start in a fertile egg whenever the
temperature is more than 7 degrees.
The germ from which the chick de-
velops will grow just as well in a

hot poultry house or in a cupboard‘

by the kitchen rahge as it will under
a hen. If the temperature falls be-
low 70 degrees or runs higher than
109 degrees, Incubation is checked.

Eggs come to market in all stages
of incubation. The dealers call eggs
which have started to incubate
“blood rings," because they show
a cluster of blood vessels when plac-
ed before the candle. .

If an egg which has started to his

   
cubate cools, the germ dies.

RADIO DEPARTMENT

EDITED BY J. HERBERT FERRIS

BURN .O‘U'l‘ BULBS
We have a complete Radio outﬁt

. we purchased as a receiving outﬁt.

It does very satisfactory, it will re—
ceive from the middle western states
to the gulf of Mexico. We have us-
ed it two evenings and burned out
two tubes.-—F. A.. Plainwell, Mich.
-—-We think that you are burning
your bulbs too bright, turn the :heo-
stats down to the lowest point and
then gradually light your bulbs un-
til you ane just able to hear the
music. Your belles will last for
several hundred hours it they are
not burned too brightly. ‘

You also may be using too high
voltage for your "A" battery, 6 volts
is all that should be used for light—
ing your ﬁlaments, never use more

than a 6 volt storage battery or 4
\ 7

dry cells.

The music does not always come
in as loud with your bulbs .not so
bright you get much longer service
from them. I am using bulbs that
have been used for over 2,000 hours
each and they are as good as new.

BROADCAST BILL’S RADIOLAYS

UREN' ev’nin’s, ’tore its time to

go to bed, how I like “0 sit and

listen, rubber ear-muffs on my
head—to the singin’ and the speak-
in’ comin’ in my radio; weather
don't make any diﬁerence—let ’er
rain, or hall, or snow.~ While I’m
list’nin’ there so peaceful to the
music from the air, I kin also get
enjoyment in a game of solitaire.
I like most a game of canﬁeld, there
are others I kin play, but I never
knew it’ had a name until the other
dayuwhen a drummer down at Per-
kin’s store explained how it wuz
done in those classy gamblin' joints
where they don’t play jest for fun.
You hand out yer ﬁfty dollers, or I
guess it's ﬁity—two, then a gent gives
you a deck of cards an' after yen are
through fer each card up in the ace
now he will hand you back ﬁve
beans—Gosh! I like the'game much
better, now I’ve found out what it
means. So when wifay goes out
callin’, leavin' me at home alone I
get out a. deck of cards an? play
there by my radi'phone. It com-
bines my tav’rite pastime, an' the
time goes by so last that the clock
soon ticks nine-thirty, an’ I know my
bedtime’ past. 80 I play another
band ,er two while waitin' for the
time that they broadcast out from
Arlington before I start my climb.
Sweet Minerva, that’s my better halt,
religiously inclined, hasn’t took so
very to my habits so I ﬁnd just be-
cause on Sunday ev’nin’ when she
went in town to church, I said I’d
stay at home an’ listen—kinda left
her in the larch. Thai; was not the
only reason, tar while workin’ Sat-

urday I had sprained my back most

awful loadin’ up some bales of hay.
So also aim to church with Willie—
I stayed home to listen in an’ I
reckon she'dlergive’d me is it only
hadn't been. I'd forgot that it wuz

.prices sometimes almost twice as

high as thos. that the retailer would
have paid for the “yard eggs,” if de-
del'bvered to him.

If the eggs are to be “ﬁne” and
“fresh” they must be gathered often.
They must be kept in a cool place
from the time they are carried to the
house until they are delivered to the
customer. They must not be permit-
ted to become warm on the way to
town. Of course, it goes without
saying that the eggs must be infer—
tile; that is, the males must be kept
segregated from the females
throughout the summer season "and,
in fact, at all times except during the
breeding period. ’

The eggs, by all means, should be
clean. This implies that they shall
be laid in nests made of clean, fresh
straw or other suitable material. The
hen house and yard should be kept
as clean as poSsible, and free from
mud. The eggs themselves should
never be washed but a damp cloth
may be used to remove occasional
spots on an otherwise clean and at-
tractive egg. Dirty eggs always
look stale, even though they are not,
and they are repulsive'to the eyes of
,the housewife.

Summer is a good time for the
family to eat all the eggs it likes, for
prices in towu are not so good as at
other seasons. Right at home is
often one of the best markets that
can be found. Eggs may be made
into appetizing early-morning egg-
and-milk drinks that are just the
thing to start a hard working day.
They are ﬁne in all sorts of cooking,
as the kitchen chairman knows, be—
ing ideal for cakes, cookies, deserts
and all sorts of good things that are
especially popular in summer.

If the hook is large and production
is high, it is often advisable to use
the water—glass route for marketing.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has full information in
printed form in regard to the water—
glass method of preservation, or the‘
county home demonstration agent
can furnish the right advice. Wat—
er-glassing will permit the poultry-
man-farmer to make high-priced
winter eggs of‘low-priced summer
eggs. This method, properly em-
ployed, offers no serious objection. It
has repeatedly been demonstrated
with thousands of eggs that the eggs
so preserved are equal to any other
kind of eggs for cooking purposes.
They may be sold as water-glassed
eggs to retailers at prices slightly
lower than those paid for fresh
“yard” eggs, or they may be used by
the family at a time when the pro-
duction is reduced.

Marketing eggs in summertime is
a problem'that may be solved with
the assistance of a little forethought.

A young lawyer wrote a prominent
practitioner in Dallas, Texas, asking
what chance there was for a man of
his stamp in that section. He said,

“I am a Republican in polities,
and I am an honest man.”

The Texan wrote back,

The growth of irfdustrial prosperity as indicated by such barometers as ‘iron
and the stock market is proceeding rapidly. Insofar asthis continues, it
domestic demand for the products of agriculture. The past
 month’s developments, however, are adverse to immediate agricultural pros-
~  which awaits more favorable price relationships. Price readjustments
  likely to be slow in coming. In the last month farm products at whole-
  have declined relative to other commodities.
" I. PRODUCTION AND TRADE. ' I
I The high rate of industrial production is reﬂectedjn the iron and steel trade
which ;' is now operating at 90% of capacity and is producing at the rate of
  out 45 million tons per year, which is approximately the same as at the peak-
"1‘" " fof "production in 1920. "
’ H The ofﬁcial report of the Bureau of the Census on cotton ginnings, places the
 1922 crop at 9,761,817 equivalent 500 pound bales, which is a reduction of
200,000 bales from. the December estimate of the Dep/artment of Agriculture.
' “h unofﬁcial forecast of the cotton acreage by the Brookmire Economic Service
places' the probable acreage for 1923 at 35,250,000 acres, or an increase of
4.4% Over 1922 plantings.
- ll. FOREIGN TRADE.
 .. The latest available ﬁgures indicate some shifts in foreign trade. Pork and
 lard exports for .the ﬁrst seven months of the current ﬁscal year are close to the
ﬁgures for the same period in the ﬁscal year 1922. Vegetable oils are running
about the same; cottoii shows a 10% decrease. Cereals, however, have fallen
' off largely; corn from 91 million bushels to 66 million; wheat‘ from 167
to 121 million bushels. ' corn exports may be accounted.

I above corn in price is at-an unusually attractive ﬁgure for buyers. The decline

': in our wheat exports has apparently been made good on the part of European
consumers by purchases elsewhere, especially in Canada. This is made clear by
ua comparison of world shipments which, in the period from August 1, 1922, to
March 1, 1923, totalled 414 million bushels against 401 million a year ago, and
.332 million two years ago.

On the import, side it is to be noted that the United States is swinging back
into its normal position as a heavy importer of cheese, 40 million pounds having

Imports of vege-

revival. Imports of sugar for the eleven months-period of 1922 are nearly twice
as large as in 1921 as a result of the rapidly growing demand in this country.
In foreign exchange, the most important feature is the continued strength of

sterling which stands now at about $4.70 or. 96.5 per cent of par.

MONEY AND CREDIT.

Financial statistics indicating

the volume of trade, such as bank clearings,

are low in February on account of the shortness of the month. A signiﬁcant
feature of recent months is the increased exports and smaller imports of gold, net
imports for the seven months ending January, 1923, being 150 million dollars
against 354 million for the same period last year. The trend of the stock market
has continued strongly upward, whereas advancing interest rates are reflected in
a slight decrease in bond prices.

IV. PRICES.

Wholesale price changes in February were slightly unfavorable to agricul-

ture,

the all commodity index rising one point while farm products lost a point.

During the past month twelve out of the tWenty-four products quoted in the table
below increased in price, ten decreased, and two remained unchanged. The _most
important changes were increases in the price of cotton, potatoes and poultry;
and declines in egg, butter and hide prices.

Recovery from the depths of depression a year to a year and a half ago has

been much slower in raw farm products than in industrial raw materials.

cent of the decline from their extreme high points before the crisis while Corn,

wheat and livestock have regained but 10 to 20 per cent of this loss.

Cotton has

shown a rapid recovery having regained close to two-thirds of its extreme decline.

FOOTE’S MARKET LETTER
By’ W. W. Foote

HILE there is still much 'com-
plaint regarding rising prices
for most commodities and the

consequent higher cost of living
than a year ago, the times are some-
what better for farmers, especially
for those out of debt, and the Mich-
igan farmers as a class ,have not
seen their lands shrink as much as
the farmers of other states of the
-middle west. Conditions in the
grain trade are mostly satisfactory
for farmers, and despite much bear—
ish talk indulged in by speculators
on the Chicago Board of Trade and
other leading markets, wheat has
undergone a fair upward movement,
May ’wheat having sold within a
short time as high as $1.21%, com—
paring with $13014 a year. ago.
Corn, too, shows a ﬁrm undertone,
with no burdensome stocks in sight
and unusually large consumption on
the farms of the corn belt states.
"Cash corn is selling around 75
cents per bushel for the No. 3 grade
in Chicago,” says a prominent grain
trader, in discussing the situation.
"Hogs on the farms are not selling
far below $8 per 100 pounds, or
equal to 80 cents a bushel for corn
in the country. It will be seen that
the‘ position of shorts in May corn is
very uncomfortable,” Turning
from grain to live stock, it cannot be
denied that the recent course of cat-
tle and hog markets has been such
as to give encouragement to stock—
men, prices having advanced at a
time when the pessimists were pre—
dicting declines. Casting specula-
tive opinions aside, it must be said
that since the close of Lent con-
sumption of beef has shown marked
improvement, while the consump-
tion of fresh and cured hog products
has been extremely large for many
weeks. Lambs are the greatest
money-makers of all kinds of live
stock, as every sheepman fully real-
izes, and especially liberal profits are
made by the fortunate ones who
have any early spring lambs to sell.
Most of the lambs now being mark—
eted were born a year ago, however,
and they are selling for higher than
before the war. Michigan farmers
are particularly interested in the
market fer pea beans, and it may be
said on authority of the Bean and
Pea Journal that there are probably
not over one hundred cars of pea
beans left in the state of New York,
most of the remaining holdings be—
ing held in Michigan. That journal
says: “Practically all of the pea
beans in the United States are grown
in Michigan and New York. Of
course, there are some unimportant
quantities grown in Minnesota, Wis—
consin, and some northern states,
but there are none worthy of men-
tion, grOWn in the latitudes south of
these states, and this is because the
climatic conditions are not favorable
for them. The feature of the Mich—
igan market which is most surpris-
. ing to the Michigan jobbers, who
.realize that 40 percent of the Mich-
igan crop is consumed by the can-
ning trade, is where are the canners
"getting their beans.
The Grain Trade
Wheat continues to sell at lower
prices than were paid a year ago,
' but the difference is less than it was
early this year, and the undertone
is much stronger. Recently the ex-
port demand for durum and hard
winter wheat has shown marked im-
provement, and the visible supply of
wheat in the United States is de-
creasing, although it stands at 45,-
785,000 bushels, or about 10,000,—
000 bushels over a year ago. Corn
-_is in a ﬁrm position, and both corn
and oats continue to sell much high-
. er than a year ago, while rye is sell-
ing very much "lower than at that
time, the visible rye sup-ply being
_ up to 18,268,000 bushels, comparing
rwith 9,495,000 bushels at this time
2.1m year. The visible: corn supply
- v .is down to 28,742,000 bushels, com-
"‘_paring with 46, 889,000 bushels a
7 year ago; while that of oats is only

The Live Stock Problem

How to produce cattle, hogs and
sheep for the market proﬁtably is
one of the problems farmers must
meet in these times of changing con-
ditions. Just now the approach of
the grazing season forces them‘ to
look the ground over and ﬁgure
what kind of feeder cattle to buy
and how much to pay, for a small
difference in the cost per 100 pounds
in buying a steer may go far to offset
the cost of putting on fat. As is the
ease every spring, the market for
stockers and feeders has been ad-
vancing steadily for weeks, and
there are few bargains to be picked
up in the Chicago stock yards. It
is true, thin cattle can still be pur-
chased at low prices, but offerings
with good quality to recommend
them are selling much abovethe
prices paid a month ago. Different
stockmen have varying opinions
about what stock to buy and what to
feed them with, and some men are
successful in fattening high—priced
thin cattle, but the average stock
feeder buys good stock cattle, while
avoiding the highest priced lots.
Stockers and feeders sell in the Chi-
cago market at $5.25 to $8.50, main—
ly at $6.75 to $7.85, no good lots
selling below $7.

The Cattle Outlook ‘

Farmers who have not yet arrang-
ed to stock their pastures with cat—
tle for summer grazing are deliber-
ating what course to follow, while
those owning matured beef cattle
are losing no time in getting them
shipped to market. Cattle are be-
ing marketed much more freely than
a year ago, but recent marked im-
provment in the demand in the Chi-
cago market has enabled sellers to
obtain higher prices, especially for
the choicer class of weighty steers,
as well as for strictly yearling steers
and heifers. The commoner cattle
are less active than the better offer-
ings, but even ordinary steers are
much higher than they were several
weeks ago. More cattle are report-

ed in feeding districts than a year'

ago, but the demand is larger, and
fat yearling heifers are especially
active and ﬁrm. Beef steers sell on
the Chicago market at $6.90 to $10.-
40, mainly at $8.25 to $9.90. A
year ago $9.35 paid for best.
Recent Advance in Hogs

During the latter part of March
there was a rush to get Illinois fed
swine on the market, as tax asses-
ments m that states are made on the
ﬁrst of April. Early April receipts
of hogs in Chicago have undergone
a great falling off, and much of the
restricted marketings are attributed
to bad cOuntry roads. Prices have

had some good advances, with a'

lively local demand and fair pur-
chases of eastern shippers, prime
light hacon‘hogs selling highest, al-
though at a reduced premium. Hogs
offeredof late graded well and aver-
aged‘ 240 pounds. Of urse, the
large exports of lard and cured
hog meats tend to strengthen hog
values, weekly shipments to foreign»

Reports come from the»

  
that western packing for the season
to recent date amounts to 4,306,000
hogs, comparing with 2,623,000 for
the same period a year ago. Stocks
of cured hog meats in packing
points are much larger than a year

,ago, but lard holdings are down to
‘27, 201,000 pounds comparing with

44,675,000 pounds a year earlier.
Hogs look like good property, and
they should be made‘good, but not
heavy. Recent sales of hogs were
made at $7.25 to $8.75.

High Prices for Lambs

Extremely high prices are paid in
the Chicago market for choice ﬂocks
of lambs of not too heavy weight, as
well as for light yearlings, fat weth-
ers an deWes, although recent sharp
‘declines have taken place in prices
for choice lambs. Exporters are
fair buyers of fat heavy clipped
lambs, and in the course of a week
2,000 head averaging 107 pOunds
brought $10 per 100 pounds. Color-
ado has been furnishing the greater
part of the lambs born a year ago,
while California is supplying numer-
ous consignments of lambs born last
November. Wool lambs sell at $12.—
25 to $14.7 5.

 
WHEAT . .

The past fortnight was a healthy
period for wheat and prices are
sor,_ew3- t higher than they were at
the beginning of this period. The
market opened weak but closed firm
for the first week opening easy again
the last week but firming up later
and gains in prices were mtde, an
increase in the export demand caus-
ed the upward turn to the market.
While thatakings Were nearly all
Canadian Wheat pu chases of Amer—
ican durum were 1 rger than usual
and some other varieties were in
moderate demand.
large enough to alarm the bears and
those who had been short were in a
hurry to get out, while some heavy

- dealers in the east who had sold out

their holdings of wheat got busy re-
instating their lines. The market
has had a great deal of eastern sup—
port all along. There appears to be
a general willingness to' see higher
prices and bulls are quick to return
to the buying side of the deal every
time they see an opportunity. The
feeling is again general that Europe
will take a lot of wheat in the near
future. The market has plenty of
bearish news, but there is a. tendency
to ignore the big stocks and all oth-
er things that look like causing
weakness. '

Crop damage was not specially
bad. The western part of Kansas
appears to be the worst spot on the
map and there is lack of moisture in
Nebraska also. Some rains have
been falling on the other dry places,
but there is yet time for plenty of
alarm over the new winter wheat
crop and observers sap the growing
weather will develop a very unfav—
orable condition over a great deal of
the southwest.

The backward spring is giving the

large consumers of this grain are be-

have good reason to, because farm
work is far behind and seeding is go:-

{17 50'] per cent

has been
especially light, where Manate-
ff hay remains to be
"marketed; '

" Bad roads and a scarcity or cars

are reported to have retarded the
movement of hay in the central west
while severe winter weather has
held upshipments in New York and
New England. Movement in the
southwest has been larger under
mild Weather conditions.

General demand for all kinds of
hay is reported as having beenabout
normal, but large local supplies in
the south-have cut down somewhat
the demand for timothy from central
western markets. High freight
rates have restricted marketing in
the far western states. . '

Timothy prices at the principal
markets are about $1.50 per I
lower on an average than ‘at the
corresponding time last year, but
have advanced about $2 per ton dur-
ing the present crop year. Alfalfa
prices have advanced about $2.50
per ton during the marketing season
but are on practically the same level
as April 1, 1922.

Stocks of hay in consuming chan-
nels are about normal and there is
small prospect of. any material in-
crease in the demand, the depart-
ment says.

Week of April 15

.This week begins with strong
winds and rains in Michigan. Temp-
eratures will average about normal
or a little above until about Tuesday.

.During the middle days of the
week we expect generally fair, sun-
shiny weather, good for most grow-
ing crops and the seeds already
planted. Temperatures will not be
very low. >

Week of April 22 I
,The very beginning of this wee

will be sunshiny in Michigan but
during Monday or Tuesday rain will
set in which will be heavy in sec-
tions of the state before Thursday.
.Winds will be of gale force.

Stormy conditions through the
middle part of the week will hinder
spring seeding but will beneﬁt past-
ure land.

Temperatures will fall below the
normal about the 25th and for the
next two or three days the ground
will average cold and wet. By the
end of the week temperatures will
be rapidly rising bringing assur-
ances that next week will average
_warmer than usual. ~

Pea! and Beans

Believing the average tempera-
ture will be below normal for the
season, we would say that peas
would have a pretty good year. Can-

. Owners say,
Hupmobile Costs are Lowest

The most amazing
thing about the Hup-
mobile has yet to be
learned by the vast
majorityof motor car
buyers and owners.

That is the fact that
our owners' carefully
kept cost-records, and
their letters to us,
stronglyindicate that
the Hupmobile cost
of operation and
maintenance is low—
est among motor cars.

This is particularly
true when the rec-

ords cover a period
of years.

What we are repeat-
ing here is the actual
experience of Hup-
mobile ﬂeet—owners,
and of individual
Hupmobile owners,
who previously oper-
ated cars generally
conceded to be among
the most economical
ﬁve manufactured,—
and who have formed
their judgments on
the sound basis of
cost—per-mile.
