A recent report of the United States Departmé‘nt of Agri- cal-tare shows that in a survay of 6, 0’60 ropfos'eritatrVe farms these farmers received an average return. of $917 for the use of an average of $16,400 worth of capital and the labor of themselves and their {amid lies in 1922. They received less than 6 per cent on their investment and Worked tor nothing. Similar or even more discouraging records have boeniound in thousands of farm- management surveys made by indi— vidual States. Compare this with the wages of from $12 to $20 a day, With no investment of capital, being paid to laborers in trades and other occupations all over the northernth oi! the country. It makes little diacrence Whether the tat-merit purchasing power, in terms or his products, is 69 per cent or 102 per cent as compared with 1913, as given by two diam-cut gown crumcnt agencies. This is purely a matter of statistical method. The important fundamental thing is the relative deflation of agriculture as compared to other industries. Farm products are being sold below the cost of production, and farmers can- not aflord hired labor even though it can be secured. Many farmers have been unable to pay their taxes out of ' a year’s production. Thousands have lest their farms. The rural exodus will probably continue until a better balance is established. Business Farming the Answer There is but one answer and only one way to correct these tendencies. of M. A. C. There was no overwhelm- ing popular sentiment demanding a. change in the administration of the college, and the newspaper comment , which has been provoked. has been far from complimentary. It is evi- dent that the underlying motive, of the Board could have, been a desire to Win either popularity or cheap publicity. Considerable unravorably and seemingly unfair comment has been made upou the' action or the Board in holding a smoallecf “Secret meet— ing” at which Dr. Friday’s admin— istration of the college was discussed. It seems strange that. it should be regarded as out of the Way for the body elected by the people to have control of M. A.

And Sh‘eerod Eddy writes just this is going 011 now in India under the leadership of Gandhi, who now lies silent and lonesome in the enemy’s prison. When will we in America believe that it is time to non-cooperate With evil and pay the extreme sacrifice for the good?

The church has been humiliated in permitting the world War and it will be to her in- creasing shame ii she permits an- other.

No ostensiable pleas for na- tional honor and justice can change her mission. It is her solemn duty now, to strike hard, to bring in that newer, brighter Kingdom that is not at this world.

Rodney, Ila (Continued from May 26 issue) E began pacing back and forth in his room clouding himself in the smoke of his pipe. Frequently Joanne’s mind had filled him with an exquisite delight by its quickness and at times almost magic percept- iveness, and he realized that in these things, and the fineness of her wo- man’s intution, now lay his greatest menace. He was sure that she und- erstood the meaning of the assault upon her that night, though she had apparently believed what he and Blackton had told them—that it had been the attack of irresponsible and Yet he was cer- that Quade had been responsible. He went to bed, dreading what questions and new developments the morning might bring forth. And when morning came, he was both amazed and delighted. The near tragedy of the previous night might never have happened in so far as he could judge from Joanne’s appear- ance. When she came out of her room to meet him, in the glow of a hall lamp, her eyes were like stars, and the colour in her cheeks was like .that of a rose fresh from its slumber in dew. “I’m so happy, and what happen- ed last night seems so like a bad dream,” she whispered, ashe held her close to him for a few minutes before descending the stairs. “I shall worry about Peggy, John. I shall. I don’t understand how her husband dares to bring her among savages like these. You wouldn’t leave me among them, would you?” And as she asked the question, and his lips pressed hers, John Aldous still believed that in her heart she knew the truth of that night attack. If she did know, she kept her secret from him all that day. They left Tete Jaune before sunrise with. an outfit which MacDonald had cut down to six horses. Its smallness roused Joanne's question, for Aldous had described to her an outfit of twenty horses. He explained that a. large outfit made travel much more difi‘icult and slow, but he did not tell her that with six horses instead’ of twenty they could travel less con- spicuously, more easily conceal themselves from enemies, and, if necessary, make quick flight or swift pursuit. They stopped to camp for the night in a little basin that drew from Joanne an exclamation of joy and wonder. They had reached the up- per timber- line, and on three sides the basin was shut in by treeless and brush— naked walls of the mountains. In the centre of the dip was a lake fed by a tiny stream that fell in a series of ribbonlike cataracts a sheer thousand feet from the snow-peaks that towered above them. Small, parklike clumps of spruce dotted the minature valley; over it hung a sky as blue as epphire and‘under their feet was a carpet of soft grass spray- ed with little blue forget~me—nots and wild asters. “I have never seen anything a half so beautiful as this!” cried Joanne, as Aldous helped her from her horse. As her feet touched the ground - she gave a little cry and hung limply in his arms. “I’m lame—lame for life!” she laughed in mock humour. “John, I can’t stand. I really can’t!” Old Donald was chuckling in his beard as he came up. “You ain ’t nearly so lame as you’ll be to— —morrow,” he comforted her. “An’ you won ’t be nearly so lame to— morrow as you 1’1 be next day. Then you ’11 begin to get used to it, Mis' ' Joanne.’ “Mrs. Aldous, Donald,” she cor-' rected sweetly. “Or—just Joanne.” At that Aldous found himself hold- ing her so closely that she gave a lit- tle gasp. “Please don't,” she expostulated. “Your arms are terribly strong, John!” '. MacDonald had turned away, still chuckling, and began to unpi‘ck. Joanne looked behind her, then quickly held up her softly pouted lips. Aldous kissed her, and would have kissed her again but she slip- ped suddenly from his arms «and go- . . By ‘JdmesaOliver Curwood. . . .. Michigan’ 3 Own and America’ s Fumes! Author of the Great North“ ‘Oomlcht 5: James Oliver Garwood ‘ rifle. ing to Pinto began to untie a dish-,3 pan that was fastened to the top of ‘ his pack. “Get to work, John ‘Aldousi” she commanded. MacDonald had camped before in ’1 the basin, and there were tepee poles , ready cut; as light and dry as match- “ wood. Joanne watched them as they put up the tent, and when it was done, and she looked inside, she cried delightedly: “It’s the snuggest little home I. ever had, John!” After that she busied herself in a way that was a constantly growing» pleasure to him. She took posses- sion at once of pots and pans and kettles. She lost no time in im- pressing upon both Aldous and Mac- Donald the fact that while she was their docile follower on the trail she was to be at the head of affairs in camp. While they were straighten- ing out the outfit, hobbling the horses, and building a fire, she rum- maged through the panniers and took stock of their provisions. She bossed old Donald in a manner that ,made him fairly glow with pleasure. She bared her white arms to the el- bows and made biscuits for the “re- , A fiector” instead of bannock, while Aldous brought water from the lake, and MacDonald cut wood. Her- _ Her eyes were ‘ cheeks were aflame. laughing, joyous and happy. Mac- . Donald seemed years younger. He obeyed her like a boy, and once Ald- ous caught him looking at her in a way that set him thinking again of those days years and years ago, and of othervcamps, and of another we- man—like Joanne. MacDonald had thought of thiS' first camp—and there were porter- house steaks for supper, which he had brought packed in a kettle of ice. When they sat down to the meal, Joanne was facing a distant snow- capped ridge that cut the Skyline, and the last of the sun, reflected from the face of the mountain on the east, had set brown and gold fires aglow in her hair. They were part- ly through when her eyes rested on the distant snow~ridge. Aldous saw her looking steadily. ~ Suddenly she pointed beyond him. “I see something moving over the snow on that mountain!" she cried excitedly. “It is hurrying toward the summit—just under the skyline! What is it?” Aldous and MacDonald looked to- ward the ridge. Fully a mile away, almost even with the skyline now, a small dark object was moving over‘ the white surface of the snow. “It ain ’t a goat, ” said MacDonald, “because a goat is White, and we couldn’t see it on the snow. It ain’t a sheep, ’cause it’s too dark, an’ movin’ too slow. It must be a bear, but why in the name 0’ sin a bear would be that‘high, I don’t know!” He jumped up and ran for his tele— scope. . “A grizzly,” whispered Joanne tensely. “Would it be a grizzly, John?” “Possibly,’ he answered. “In- deed, it’s very likely. This is a grizzley country. If we hurry you can get a look at him through the telescope. ” MacDonald was already studying the object through his long glass when they joined him. “It' s a bear, ’he said. “Please—please let ‘me look at him," begged Joanne. The dark object was now almost on the skyline. Half a minute more and it would pass over and out of sight MacDonald still held his eye to the telescope, as though he had not heard Joanne. Not until the moving object had crossed the sky-- line, and had disappeared, did he re- ply to her. “The light’s bad an’, you couldn’t have made him out very well, ” he said. “We’ll show you plenty o’ Grizzlies, an' so near you won't want a telescope. Eh, Johnny?” As he looked at Aldous there was a strange look in his eyes, and dur- ing the supper he was restless, and - ate hurriedly.

That element was . appearance. In New York State, you can find,“ within twenty-five miles, V ' families who would reluctantly ac- cept the gift of Ben Davis apples, and families who, in the market,~ ;would invariably pick the same ap- ple first. . Appearance partly ex- plains, undoubtedly, interesting hap- penings in apple history. - The past fifty years has witnessed the introduction of many new apple varieties. Through tests, both pro- duction and marketing, many have been eliminated, some have staid. Note, however, what powerful influ- ences apples predominantly of a certain color—red—have had in their favor. For the mass of people, there can be no argument—red .is the peer- less apple color. Back in the days when America was largely rural, ap- pearance was of far less importance in determining an apple’s popularity. Then two other colors had equal em- inence with red—russet, and green. Those coldrs were associated with mighty valuable qualities in apples. There was no cider like Russet cid- into the spring like Russets. Today, you can _.find people readily who never tasted a Russet‘apple in their lives, pos- sibly even never saw one. Color has a great deal to do, un- questionably, with this condition. Red apples appeal most to the eye. They sell most readily in the market, other things being equal. In the war for survival with them, russet, green, yellow apples, all have a stiff handicap at the start. a . The proportion of red apples go- ing to market—this is a prediction ——will be greater twenty—five years from now. Salability is a big virtue in an apple, and a popular color con- tributes much to it. A RIP VAN WINKLE VISIT TO COUNTRY STORES HERE are two things which Rip Van Winkle, visiting country stores of today, would find dis- tinctly different. They are changes which have come about largely with- in the past thirty years. Both rep- resent steadily accentuating condi- tion. One is the one-price system. The old folks can recall the time when no country stores at all sold on a one- price basis. The best buyer was the most industrious haggler. The store- keeper believed there was no other practical way to sell; justly as firm- ly, the buyer believed there was no other practical way to— buy. The onecpriCe system came into use as merchants got a vision of the possi- bilities in volume, and a true idea of the relative unimportance of the individual transaction. The one-price system wins confid— ence, and saves tremendous amounts of time consumed when merchant and customer wage a battle of wits over small transactions. ‘ Not all country stores, yet, are one-price stores. Some stores which set up to be, in practice are not. But the number ofkinflexibly one-price stores grows greater year by year. «Farm people, in particular farm women, are known as excellent buy- If there is far less bargaining ers. with merchants than formerly, “shopping around,” always good buying practice, has lost farrless of its caste. And “shopping around," a comparison of goods and prices, is far easier today than formerly, and growing easier all the time, owing to the second great change alluded to above. That is the sale of adver- . tised, known-quality, merchandise. . In house furnishings, groceries, clothing, farm equipment, practiCa-l- ly everything the farm family con- sumes or uses, advertised brands and makes are available. Theylm- measurably simplify the task of re- tail buying. . — We suspect that Rip Van Winkle, in his day, was a poor buyer.

" The Farm Paper of Service” DR. FRIDAY RESIGNS NCE again the Michigan Agricultural College finds itself without a president. Most of ' our readers are familiar with the decidedly unpleasant odor which will permeate the .campus for some time to come. It will not be as easy to secure a man who has axmind of his own to head the oldest farmer’s school in America. The late unpleasantness got far too much publicity. for the benefit of the college. g Our Lansing correspondent, Mr. Powell, who is a graduate of M. A. C. and who has given a sum- mary of the events leading up to the acceptance of the resignation of Dr. Friday, on page three of this issue, admits that Dr. Friday is a genius, but hints that a genius is quite apt to be temper- mental and headstrong. Colonel Roosevelt was credited with these same attributes. A man with new ideas is always a genius and a man who tells. makes his ideas into realities is always head-4 strong, he must be to get them done. Dr. Friday was the first president of the Mich- igan Agricultural College who ever took a direct and militant interest in the marketing problems of the farmers in Michigan. We challenge any enemy of Dr. Friday to dis— prove this statement. For this interest in the producer's problem he‘ was throttled, just as every man or institution which seeks to tread on the sacred toes of the “middle-men” are bow~beaten, lied about and thus, finally put in a bad light before the very producers they are seeking to aid. We are not concerned about Dr. Friday per- sonally. We know he has resigned to accept a position which pays him nearly double his pres- ent salary and gives him a greater opportunity for personal gain. What The Business Farmer is seriously con- cerned about is the fact that whenever a man or institution appears, seeking to solve the greatest of all the problems of the farmer—that of marketing—wthey become at once the target for an attack, which may be aimed from any strategic point, wheather it bathe financial credit of an institution or the personal character of an individual but always with the sole object of an- nihilating the intruder. . Look at the record of the co-operative selling organizations which have been fostered in Mich- igan for the benefit of the farming business. How many have lived? None, that we know of, which are old enough to prove that they are a perman— ent success, strong enough to stand this contin- ued onslaught. - And the farmers enemies have found the sure point of attack. Destroy faith in the man or the institution and it crumbles into nothing. During the war we were taught to call it “propoganda” which is only a newer name for ‘filicing gossip.” How easy it is to start! Likes pebble tossed into the pond, its waves reach in every direction until they beat upon the shore. Yet how gullible we all are. How quick we are to believe the untruth about the very thing we love or respect. “My countrya-vright or wrongs—my country!" That is the answer for the patriot. And that is the answer for the farmer who believer that there ‘ is a future in the farming business through the em ganized co-operative marketing of his produce. m ,WT UNI _ 0 one can drive over the State: highways at Michigan, without, wondering why itsis. that thou Milo completed flint. MSW. which Waivers promimtcitics bottom the losses stretches of paved Newsroom-tbs state tends“ available by the $59,000,009- good roads-appropriation of 191’? It would appear to have been better practice for any one trunk line to have been completed by the best known meth- _ ed before proceeding with the next. It also occurs to us that with the natural re- sources presented in certain districts of Michi- gan where Portland cement factories are in oper- 'ation that the State of Michigan could well have afforded the purchase of such a site and the man- ufacturer of its own cement. if it could ‘be done as- we assume,- at a lower cost than purchasing it on the competitive market. In our opinion it would have been possible to use the State, Prison labor for this purpose to good advantage, and the State could have had a sufficiently large output of cement to take care of all of its building activ- ities, not only of roads but of buildings. We are not entirely discouraged with the road building program to date. We do not belive’ that graft has played a large part in the construction work, but we do know that much of the road built has 'éost the State more than it should, and because we need more highways and must at the same time lower the tax burden that we are carrying, a problem is presented which can be solved-only by greater efficiency and a lowered cost per mile of construction. The farmers of Michigan were right when they asked for a gasoline tax. The legislature was right when it voted the enactment of such a law, , and the Governor was wrong when he vetoed it, in the face of this strong ‘endorsment. The gaso- line tax was a painless method of raising an im- mense amount of money, and securing a large part of it from those who are directly using the highways most. The collection of this tax was simple so long as no exemptions were made, be- couse it was to have been made from the dozen or so importers of gasoline into the State. We never yet have understood why the gasoline tax was opposed by the automobile clubs. Michigan has too many miles of road to be completed, which are really the “missing links” in our chain of good roads, for curtailment of the building program, at this time. ”mo MANY LAWS ' NE of the strangest political tendencies of our time, is the suddenly increased faith of legis- lators in the power of laws to enforce them- selves once they are reduced to writing. No belief has been so continuously and thoroughly discredited, yet none is soalarmingly alive. Every political philosopher from Montaigne’s day to this hour has recognized that the best govern- ment is that conducted with the least law and machinery. A multitude of evils attend the naive faith of legislatures in the auto-enforcement capacity of law as represented for a government on a piece of paper. One is an inevitable weakening of re- spect for a government born of a disregard for its more outlandish aspects. Another is the un- interrupted encroachment oi government on the governed. A third and most distressing evil is the appalling expense attending the creation of multitudlnous new bureaus and ofllce’s provided for. . The time may'come when a- candidate pledging himself to nothing but the repeal of two laws for every one created will be generally supported. A name's runner a'r HOWELL NE of our readers advises us that Howell. Michigan, offers an excellent location for a farmers’ market, such as we suggested in the story of the successful market at Bloomington. Illinois, in the last issue. We have therefore ap- pealed to Mayor Fishbeck, the newspapers and County Agent of Livingston County, to aid in the establishment of a farmers' market at that city. Howell has a population, according to the last census, of approximately 3,000 and has shown considerable gain in the past three years, because of the rapid‘progress of several local manufact- uring institutions. There are one hundred or more cities the size oi Howell in Michigan which would be equally justified in establishing tat-ma ers’ markets and thus bringing to their cities the trade and iriendship 'of the tumors tor many miles around. It is not necessary temperate a daily market. A Saturday morning market will serve the pur- pose in the small city tor some time until it is toned profitable to open. it on other days. We .hope that the city or .chell will establish a market duties the present Busch, and we hope our readers will. suggest other towns and cities “Michigan whet-ewe can take up thematter, be- ' WW" 3"" ‘tc walk on the side facing us» a car may warms the rear «Mistake . should tell “Timers these marksman . . ,ed. 7‘ W ‘7 g RADIO ON THE FARM. ‘ T has been some time since we mentioned _, ) on this page, and in that space of flmsuoh " ‘ improvement has been made in ' this science that'it is much more simple and practical for the isolated farmhouse to “ileteikinu on‘the day's news, market reports, lectures and/m.

The cheap politician who plays to the aim. '- and particularly the man who claims to be working in the interests of the farmer and who is only camouflaging, deserves more words of con- demnation than we have in our vocabulary. It seems as though the farmer particulary has. been the innocent recipient of this sort of “help" during the past two years. ’ If We judge the present frame of the farmerg- - mind rightly, it is : that all he asks is a square deal, .that he believes his business is as legiti- mate, and a little more so, than most other busi- ness, that he wants a fair price for what he grows, and demands that those who are telling most about how they are going to help him go to ‘ work at some other job. The farmer will work' out his 'own problems and do it much better than the so-called “leaders of agricultural thought" if they will just go back to their jobs, whatever they were, and leave us alone. What the farmer has suffered from most is an over-production of would—be Moses, each pointing in a different direction to lead the farmer out of the pathless desert in which he has found himself the last two years. * ROAD DANGEBS 1TH the number of automobiles being multi- . plied daily it is. little wonder that the prob- lem of traflic congestion and. regulation is spreading into the rural districts. The accidents from collisions and carelessness in country towns are much higher in proportion to the number of cars in operation than those in our larger cities where the drivers become accustomed to congestion and have. thier cars. at all times under control, watching out always . for the other fellow who may be a “fool driven"- A: suggestion or two on rural safety-first may ‘ therefore be fitting at the advent of the road congestion season. First we would urge our readers not to drive any vehicle on the road at night without a white lamp showing to the front and a red light to the rear. this precaution is risking your life in a manner" most toolbardy. Many a man or woman who would die from iright at the idea of walking over Niagara Falls on a tight rope will drive ' on a country road on a dark night where auto- . mobile drivers racing at fifty miles per hour come within the distance of their own headlights 5 before they see the vehicle without a rear ‘ond light for protection.

In your Saturday’s paper I notice on page 15 you say “The man who does business thru the United States malls must be honest. Uncle Sam is your attorney without cost when you have been defrauded thru the malls.” Now if that’s true, what can one do about Warren MeRae? I too sent him $5 and his letter to me stated the same to others “that he' would send the prospective buyers to my farm, and in case these people do not buy please let me know and I will keep on sending you buyers un- til you make a deal. ” So, I have recently written him to make good his agreement. he has had lots of time to send buyers here 101' the snow held off long this fall and its been a splendid winter. I also told Mr. McRae that if he didn’t send us any buyers as per his agree,— ment to return to me the $5 before corn planting and potato planting, .FEDERAL BOND & MORTGAGE BUILDING, DETROIT I am waiting to hear from him. 1 time.

In a recent issue of the Business Farmer you say in effect that a Michigan farmer is a fool to raise wheat. (Ed. Note: In what issue did we make this statement, Mr. Sub— scriber?) I am inclined to agree with you and you may also include all the ordinary farm crops grown in Michigan. However, anyone so unfortuante as to Own a farm in Michigan at the present time isrup against it, and should be pitied rather than blamed. assessed at full value. and taxes must be paid or the farm will be sold. It is possible that we would be better off to let the farm go, move to the city. and get a job, but most or us hate to leave that way so we will probably struggle along in the attempt to raise it to 93’ the tax and keep alive, work the whole family, sixteen hours or more per day, when the weather is good. go fishing. when it rains. and hope for better times am. 011: worthy Governor has saved us two compo! m on all the gas -. in burn. and Henry Paul says that anyone can raise an dollars may soon hays/a limes, so let’s cheer ' .w and be happy. ~Subscfibet, 8t.

They are to spend -' ee months abroad as the guests of American Committee for Devast- ted .France. . . The girls united at Chicago, Mon- ay, May 14th. They departed May _ th for Washington to call on the {President and the Secretary of ‘Agri- ' ulture. They went from that city to New York and sailed on May 23 (for France. . - The girls make an unusual quar- "‘tet‘of national champions, but .they well earned their honors. First "they won their state contests; then, last fall at the international live- stock exposition here, when nine states sent up teams to the first na- tional canning competition, they be- came champions among 30,000 girls hailing from every state. To Spread Club Idea ‘ Beulah Rodgers and Katherine ,,B_elibaugh, who came from Eddy- }ville, 1a., with a population of be- tween 900 and 1000, constitute the Iowa team that won first place, and (their companions on the trip are Bertha Roger and Elaine Hendricks of Burlington, 001., who composed the team qualifying for second prize. With them goes Esther Belibaugh, who as local leader has the credit of training the primier canners of the country, and who looks no older than her sister. The heads of the expedition are Miss Josephine Arn- quist, agent in charge of girls’ club work in Iowa, and Miss Maude E. Sheridan, state club leader in Colo- rado. Whatever novel fruits, vegetables or meats France may offer these slender girlish tutors, they are un- ' dismayed at the prespect. They stand ready to can anything that can be canned by the cold-pack method. Elaine and Katherine have been can- ning for seven years, Bertha for six and Beulah for five. Demonstrating proper canning methods is an ‘old (story with them. These farmers’ daughters are going to France to work, and they expect to expound this bit of better home—making wherever the American committee , or the Minister of Agriculture may send them. Canning is but one phase of the boys’ and girls’ club work fostered ‘ by the extension departments of the . state agricultural colleges. Six hundred thousand boys and girls are enlisted in this potent agricultural movement. The girls’ side of it is devoted to home-making. It trains ,them as it did the prize-winning girls to take a half bushel of apples and in an hour turn out something "like 17 jars of baked apples, apple 1 sauce, sliced apples for pies and ap- .' ple juice for jelly.

Home ' ports that the food question was a great problem in those days. They did not have the canned vegetables and fresh fruit that gave the system the lime juices that it needed so much. All these tales of horror were told of the anaemic, scurvy bodies that were aboard these ships. This is just another form of ezcema only worse and too much cannot be said about the care of ones bodies in making it healthy. We all know how well the animals of the field are taken care of so why not give a little of this attention to ourselves. It seems to me that with eating a great deal of the fresh vegetables and fruits in summer‘and canning all of the different kinds for winter use and with a lot of good drinking wat- er you will soon erase the trouble at its source. I cannot help but write you women. about this, because it is up to us to watch our table and what is put upon it for the family. This spring I received so many letters asking for a cure for ezcema that I have reprinted in the personal col- umn a cure that came to my desk last spring. It makes me think that this dreadful disease comes after a winter of eating the wrong kinds of food. KEEPING HOME SWEET To have harmony in the home—- 1. Think before you speak. 2. Respect others feelings. 3. Don’t nag or find fault. 4. Don’t feel superior to your companion. 5. Do unto him or her as you would like to be done by. 6. “Ours” should be the home pronoun. 7. Let there be no boss rule. 8. Keep respect for each other’s feelings. 9. wDon’t decieve each other. 10. Don’t speak crossly when your companion is angry or vexed about something. A little love and affection will pre- vent petty quarels. The whole secret depends on love and respect. Keep this in mind and you will never dis- agree nor quarrel. THE CANNING BUDGET ET your GOAL before you start your season’s work. If pos- sible make it to fit the needs of your family rather than to achieve only the actual project requirements for your age or year of work. We should all try unselfishly to measure ' all home-making projects in terms of the family rather than the indi- vidual. We should plan for at least one serving of fruits and one serving of vegetables other than potatoes for each day of the eight months when fresh products are not readily avail- able. - The budget outlined here, approv- ed by the nutrition specialist of the College, is based upon that principle. In this chart you will notice that one column is given overto the needs of a single person. THIS WILL HELP YOU SET YOUR'GOAL. It will help you, too, in planting your garden. Produ ct 1.

It mat- ters little to them whether the story he told to them; all they ask is that they may hear a story. Where it is possible, it is fine to set aside the hour between the evening meal and bedtime for a story hour, but in every family, that hour can- not be taken. Must, then, the child- ren go without stories? Not neces- sarily. There are few mothers and fath- ers so busy that they cannot snatch a few minutes each day to glance though» their favorite magazine, to dip into a book for a chapter or so, or to persue the daily paper. All three of these sources are rich in story-material for children. Inter- esting bits of information, thrilling adventures, glimpses of wild life—- all these are constantly being “run across” in reading, and, retold in language easily understood by the Margaret E. Sangster ' HE grammars and the spellers, The pencils and the slates, The books that hold the frac- tions And the books that tell the dates, The crayons and the blackboards And the maps upon the wall, Must all be glad together, For they won’t be used till fall. L They had to work like beavers To help the children learn; And if'they want a little rest, It surely is their turn. , , 1 1 ~— M They shut their leaves with pleasure, The dear old lesson books, And the crayons and the blackboards Put on delighted looks. So children just remember, When you have gone away, Your .poor old slates and pencils Are keeping holiday. _ The granimars and the spellers Are as proud as proud can be When the boys forsake the school- . . room‘ . And the teacher turns the key. it :— ii ’ ht ' f- the usual children’s soryL', , ‘ .‘ _: Let it become a‘ habit of mind with you to have the- children in mind whenever you read. If you have never read for the children, you will be surprised at the number of interesting stories you can run. ~across in fifteen minutes time. Soon you will, learn tonick .reading. for . yourself, in your snatched few min- utes, which will be especially adapt- - ed for re-telling to the children lat- er on. Your own. pleasure in read- ing will not be. destroyed if you read for the children as well as for your- self; it will, on the contrary, be en- hanced. Also, if you are reading with the children’s pleasure in mind, you will be far less likely to waste your valuable few minutes for read- ing, reading trash; you will choose your stories and your articles much mere wisely and thoughtfully. Thus will not only the children be benefit- ed, but you, also, by the habit of reading for the children. BEWARE on THE SUGGESTIVE ~ WARNING KNOW a mother who, as she I started to leave the house on an errand to a neighbor’s happen- ed to remember that children some- times are guilty of poking beans and things up their noses with disastrous , results. The children had never heard of nor thought of doing such a thing, but the mother turned and, in a few words, cautioned them: . “Now Bobbie and Katie, whatever you do, don’t put anything up your : nose!" The children promised with .; blank faces, the mother shut the l. door and hurried across to the ‘ neighbor's house. As soon as she ; was gone, Katie turned to Bobby: “What did Mamma mean?" she ask- '1 ed. “1 don’t know,” replied Bobby. “Come on, let’s do it and see what happens!” Of. course, they did it, and, of course, they found out what happened. The mother, on her re- '1 turn, found two frightened little children. A hurry call to the doct- . or was necessary to remove the ' beans lodged in the children’s noses. 5 Had the mother not made that suggestive warning, the children would never have thought of trying . the “stunt." She didn’t understand ' what curious little animals children are. She didn’t realize how strong " the power of suggestion is in people, but especially in children. They are always wanting to find out “what will happen if.” Therefore, if there is anything you especially want " children to avoid doing, be very, very careful how you word your warning, and be sure that it does not take the form of a suggestion. Explain why to children. If that mother sometimelwhen the children ’ had been playing with buttons or some such small articles, had said: “I ~ heard of a little girl oncewho put a button up her nose and it stuck there and the doctor had tocOme , and take it out. It hurt the little girl a lot, and I’m sure she never did such a thing again. It is dangerous to put things up one’s nose. You’ll > remember never to do it, won’t f you?" her children would never have come to grief as they did. Be- » ware of the suggestive warning!— ‘; Margaret Bartlett.

How can I take rust stains out of a white woolen sweater? How can you keep flies away from babies? Miss Bur- dena Nelson, R. 2, Cadillac, Mich. Potato Cakes—Shape cold mashed po- tatoes in small .cakes, and rolls in flour Butter hot omelet pan, put in cakes, brown one side, turn and brown other side, adding butter as needed to prevent burning; or pack potatoes in small but- tered pan as soon as it comes from the stable, and set aside until ready for use. Turn from pan, out in pieces, roll in flour, and cock as potato cakes. Creamed ~Potatoes—-Reheat two cup of cold boiled potatoes, cut in dice, in one and one-half cups white sauce. White Sauce—ero tablespoons .butter, two tablespoons flour, one cup milk, one- “ fourth teaspoon salt, few grains pepper. Put- butter in pan and stir until melted and bubbling; add flour mixed with sea- sonings, and stir until thoroly blended: then pour on gradually while stirring constantly the milk, bring to the boiling point and let boil two minutes. If a wire whisk is used, all the milk may be added at once. Potatoes Au Gratin—Put creamed po- tatoes in buttered baking dish, cover with buttered crumbs, and bake on center grate until crumbs are brown. Delmonico Potatoes—To potatoes au gratin add one third cup grated mild cheese, arranging potatoes and cheese in alternate layers before covering with crumbs. ' , ' Cruuers—One-fourth cup butter, one cup sugar, yolks two eggs, whites two eggs, four cups flour, one—fourth tea-7 spoon grated nutmeg; three and one-half teaspoons baking powder, one cup milk, powdered sugar and cinnamon. Cream butter and add sugar gradually, yolks of eggs well beaten. and whites of eggs beaten stifl. Mix flour, nutmeg, and baking powder; add alternately with toss on floured board, roll thin, and out in pieces three inches long by two inches wide. Make four one—inch parallel gashes crosswise at equal intervals. Take up Jny running finger in and out of gashes, and lower into hot deep fat and fry. Flys Kept away from the Baby—I would suggest that if the baby is out doors and sleeping use cheese cloth or mosquito netting by. putting a stick up the front and back of the crib or basket and throw the netting over it. Try and keep the files out of the house entirely. Remove all food as soon. as the meals are over as this attracts them, and put garbage as far away from the house as possible. If the baby is kept sweet and clean, I cannot see why the fly will be with themany more than the grown-ups. The fly is our worst enemy and too much cannot be said about the disease they carry into our homes. They breed around the barn and it pays to fight them every day. ' , ‘ A Cure for Salt Rheum—3 tablespoons of sulphur; 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar; 1 tablespoon of nitrate of potash Mix, and at night put 1 teaspoon of this mixture in a little milk, water or syrup and drink. Use this Wash for the Affected Parts—- 8 tablespoons epsom salts, 1 teaspoon of carbolic acid in one quart of water, boil ii minutes and use by washing the spots aflt‘ected. . At Night Ruby On—Lonoline or sweet all one ounce with, ten drops of carbolic acid. I only made half of the recipe at a time. This is a wonderful cure.

We live on a 12 acre farm about 11 miles from Port Huron. Lastyear we put in a small piece of watermelons, some cu- cumbers, some sweet corn. some onions, radishes, carrots, and beets. I sold all I could spare and could have sold more ‘ so this year I am putting in more. There is never much trade in the forenoon but lots in the afternoon and evening. Some days I would Sell six or seven dollars worth in a few hours. There are quite a few wild berries near here and they always sell geod, then I always raise quite a. few chickens. They always grow fast and bring better than a dollar apiece in the fall. I am also enclosing some of my, recipes that I know. to be good. .Wishlng you good luck, I remain—Sarah Beauchamps, R. F. D.

To “A SUBSCRIBER" , It seems to me you have condemnation in your heart for your husband which needs be eliminated. “Neither do Icon- demn thee" were the Omnipotent words you know. Its keeping a man down when he’s down. ' ‘ Its the beautiful uplifting thoughts he needs. Search out his true and redeeming qualities and hold him to this incessantly every moment your thought is with him, and you will find your self far happier, and your unsatiaible desire will cause you to forget yourself and life will take on an added charm. Only Love, (not con- demnation) can ‘awaken him. “Love never .faileth.” This error is not unlike any other, is not surmounrtable, and the thing that now appears fixed, will detach itself lik‘e ripe fruit and fall. , ' This is both ethical and practical. When husband is away remember with— Emerson, Thou art not gone being gone, Where e’er thou art, Thou Ieav’st in him thy watchful eyes, ,In him thy loving heart. When husband returns home, forget all appearances of evil and see the per- fect man, and let the real of you, the Truth of you, shine forth in all its ef- fuigent beauty, and you will~attract unto yourself your mate as of yore, when boy and girl together.—L. Baker. Wild Hairs—Will you please ask the people if any one can tell how to get rid of wild hairs in ones eyes. I am nearly blind with them and if some kind friend will tell you so that you can put the remedy in your paper I will be thank- ful.-——G. C. About Sale of .Rabbits—I saw by your paper lots of things of benefit to all, also Mrs. E. W. B. that wanted to know about selling rabbits, etc., back to the companies in New York and Kansas City, Missouri. I will say We bought two pairs of rab- bits of the Standard Food and Fur Asso- ciation of New York a few years ago and they were $7.00 apiece and they were to buy back all that we raised. So we raised some and after awhile they bought one pair for $7.00 and were to pay us as per contract and said they would buy the rest if I would let them know how many I had so I did and they said they were not ready to receive them. I wrote different times and also only recieved $6.00 for the pair sent them. They were better stock than we received but they claimed they were under weight and I had a. time to get‘ the money from them. They are just frauds to our opinion. They figure on selling. stock to you for a big price and get out of buying yours back. I have been waiting to advertise them to folks so they will not be fooled by them.—A Subscriber. Cement for Mending Broken Chinoo— Stir plaster of Paris into a thick solu— tion of Gum Arabic until it becomes a viscous paste. Apply it to the fractured edge and draw parts closely together.— _To Remove Rust Stain—~Make a paste of cream of tartar and water, cover the spot and hang the article in the sun, when dry brush off, repeat this until the spot is removed. A Rose to the Living—I am sending a verse to you, a favorite of mine taken from “American Motherhood" published about 1915 or 1916. “A rose to the living is more Than sum-ptous wreaths to the dead: In‘filling love’s infinite store, A rose to? the living is more, If graciously given before The hungering spirit is fled— A rose to the living is more Than sumptous wreaths to the dead."

Will you please give me a good feeding formula that will bring them up to the broiler stage the quickest. How shall I care for' a flock of hens to make them lay? Is it better to have the flock shut up’ in a chicken yard or to have them run at large? Which induces the great- er egg production? Is grit good for little chicks? ‘ How about oat meal? »-—Mrs. D.- W. J., Fowlerville, Mich. It is important that limited and retarded early feeding be practiced. Practically all chicks sent to the Col- lege so far this year, for postmort- em examination have shown unab— sorbed yolks. The yolk that the chick absorbs just prior to hatching is sufficient food for seventy two hours. It is generally a good prac— tice to leave the chicks in the in- cubator for twenty-four hours after the hatch is completed. The second day after the completion of the hatch the chicks are removed, to the brooder house that has been prepar- ed and ready for them. A coal burn- ing brooder is the most satisfactory because of the surplus heat that is necessary for hatching at this sea- son of the year and the additional factor of safety. ‘ The brooder then should be so regulated that the ther— mometer reads 90 degrees at the outer edge of the deflector. Sand usually makes a good cover— ing for a board or cement floor, in addition to providing gritty material that is necessary in getting the di- gestive tract in working condition. The second day after the hatch is completed the chicks should receive some skim milk. This should not be fed in galvanized dishes because ~ released. It should be fed only in glass, earthenware, or wooden dishes. On the third day the chicks should receive their first feed. This con- sists of one raw egg mixed with two handfuls of bran and three. of rolled oats. The raw egg is a natural food there fore no dietarw disturbances should result. The bran is highly laxative and high in mineral matter and the rolled oats are very nutri- tional. This mixture could be given vals of two and a half hours. From the fourth to the’fourteenth day three of the egg mixture, two of commercial chick feed, and one feed— ing of green food should be given. After the fourteenth day the chicks can be placed on commercial chick food and buttermilk meshes, leaving it before them at all times. Chick feed can be given in the morning and at night and green food at noon. For the laying flock I would sug- gest following the standard two ounces of scratch feed per bird daily, containing equal parts of cracked corn and Wheat. The dry mash should be available at all times con- taining equal parts by weight of bran, middlings, corn meal, ground oats and meat scrap. By regulating the amount of scratch feed given the hens will consume approximately two ounces of mash, thereby balanc- ing the ration. This ration is used by all laying contests and experi- ment stations and has been proven more economical than the commerci- al mashes. The flock can be confin- ed if plenty of green food is supplied daily, otherwise they should be per- mitted free range. A slightly high‘- or production can be secured under confinement if the birds are properly fed—E. C. Foreman, Associate Prof. of Poultry Husbandry, M. A.

FISHBECK, Howell.‘ Mich. ‘ -. elation .has i at finished its first four months :of testing in its second year and some gratifying results have been obtain- ed. The work for the, second year was started January 23, 1923,, and at the time there were twenty-seven members, with an addition of two shortly after, which more than com- plete the number required. , The very first .month, twenty—sev- en of these members agreed to weigh each cow’s milk separately and keep a daily record of each cow’s milk production, giving them a much more accurate record than if only an average of the one day that the test- er visits the farm is taken for the entire month. Also greater pains were taken in feeding according to production and this, with the daily check up on each cow, is responsible for the wonderful showings some of these cows have made. There are about 380 cows being tested each month in this association and of this number about 85 percent are pure bred Holsteins and the rest are grade Holsteins with the excep- tion of one splendid pure bred Jer- sey herd. Every member has a pure bred sire at the head of their herd, and at the present time a County' Bull Aesociation is being organized. The average per cow for the four months of this year is 33.43 lbs. butter fat per month. The highest herd average for this time for butter fat was 53.99 lbs. High cow hon- ors go to Eamonon’s Butter Maidie, a pure bred Jersey cow, in the Smith and Parker herd, having 339.50 but- ter fat with a feed cost of $36.04 in 120 successive days. A pure bred Holstein owned by C. S. Heeg & Son, ' made a record of 270.09 butter fat in 90 days, with a feeding cost of $28.34. ’ Another interesting feature is the record of Bessie Beauty Walker, a cow owned by J. B. Tooley. In the month of March she producted over 2,000 lbs. of milk and 82.64 lbs. of butter fat. Her daughter, Bessie Kalmuck, a Junior three-year—old, made over 2,000 lbs. milk and 90.24 lbs. butter fat in the same month, after completing a seven day record of 501 lbs. milk and 25.04 lbs. but- ter fat. The registered herd owned by Merle Crandell brought him $122 above cost of feed per cow, which we consider very good for a herd of fifteen head. The average production per cow in the United States is 3,527 lbs. of milk. The average per cow in 120 cow testing association in the United States is 6,077 lbs. of milk, which is double the amount of a cow not in the association. Michigan is just awakening to the fact that better dairying is absolute— ly essential to bigger profits and bet- ter living conditions in- this state. The last official reports show that Netherland leads the world in milk production with 7585 lbs. per cow. Denmark is second with 6,950 lbs. and Switzerland 3. third with 5,666 lbs. milk per cow. These facts plainly show that Michigan has not yet reached the highest of its abil- ity in dairying, but with the present good prospects we expect to be one of the leading dairy communities in the World—Yours for better Feed— ing, Breeding and Weeding.

The more substantiallthe, adjustment, if not so extreme as to constitute a deer sion, the longer the continuance. . ~ 'LABOR', RAILROADS AND BANKING: ’ The biggest obstacles to proper adjustment lie in the labor and railroad situations. In the one case there are advancing wages and a tendency to decreas- ing productivity per man. In the other, there is little likelihood of immediate . reduction in rates and always a possibility of congestion. ' The most stabilizing influence is the favorable money and banking situation. In summary, it may be said that recent events which have emphasized the need of caution and have led to some curtailment of production will correct to a degree the labor situation and should make.more possible the expansion of needed railroad facilities at lower costs. Adding to this the banking position as a'positive constructive factor, it is difficult to belieVe that another business depression is now starting. PROSPERITY INCOMPLETE: Agriculture can hardly talk about prosperity as long as the price relation- ships remain so unfavorable to it. Even with the third largest crop in 1922, the position of the farmer in purchasing power, in terms of volume multiplied by price, is only three-fourths of pre-war. With both agricultural and industrial output at high levels, this means that the industrial groups are receiving the larger shares of the total stock of goods produced. The quickest way to change this is for farmers to shift to the other groups. This they are doing as shown by the reports of a net loss from farms during 1922 of 1,120,000 persons, 3.6 per cent of the agricultural population at the beginning of the year. Fifi-5% — -....--n.

FOOTE WROVED FARMING CONDI- ‘ , TIONB ' HE mail order firms report much increased sales to farmers, but smaller sales of farm imple- ments have been made than normal, although they exceed those made a year ago. Accepting the mail order ' business as one of the traditional barometers of business, good times are coming. Railroads are crowded with freight, and leading lines are getting ready to expend vast sums for much needed equipment. Farm Women Combining There was a conference in Chicago last week of farm women from fli- teen states with reference to co-oper- ation in marketing their eggs. Grad- ing and packing were discussed, and it was planned to establish state egg selling exchanges in the different states. It was pointed out that pro- ducers must look after the storing of eggs in the flush season and carry them over to the winter season. ' Claims were made that the pooling plan would save consumers from five to ten cents a dozen and cause triple profits for the owners of the hens. The GrainMarkets There has been a marked falling off in speculation in grain on the Chicago Board of Trade since the recent federal legislation controlling speculative trading, and this is at- tributed by leading speculators to the new law. This is brought for- ward as one of the principal reasons why wheat prices have failed to move up in response to a number of bullish influences, recent prices hav— ing been much lower than a year ago and far below those paid two years ago. The exports of bread- stuifs have been much smaller than early this year, and recent exports of corn, oats and rye show marked re- ductions from those of a year ago. Corn is in a strong position, howev- er, with materially lessened market- ings by farmers and much smaller stocks in sight than a year ago. The same is true of oats, but the visable rye supply is much larger than at this time in 1922. Rye has been sell- ing so much below corn prices that several cars were shipped from Chi- cago to Indiana recently to be ground up into feed for hogs. The ; agricultural department announces ' that the increased American produc- tion of rye comes at a time when re- sumption of normal conditions in central and eastern Europe‘and the stabilizing of prices in Europe point to a time when much of the hitherto large foreign demand for American rye will cease. This would undoubtedly bring about Iowa rye Rye has been selling far ago for many weeks, and recent sales were made at the loWest prices of the year, go- . ing of! over five cents a bushel in a single week. On the same day May corn advanced 6% cents. Sales of July wheat are made in the Chicago market around $1.10, comparing with $1.18% a year ago; July corn at 79 cents, comparing with ,62 cents last year; July oats at 41 cents, comparing with 99% cents a year a o. - g Good Profits From Cattle In the issue of this paper of May 12, it was stated that better prices At that time only a few prime steers were selling as high as $10.25, the bulk of the steers going at $8 to $10. There has been a marked improve- ment since then, and the advance has been much quicker than was ex— pected. Prosperity makes larger call for the ',higher-_priced cuts of beef, and this means much larger premiums paid for choice corn-fed steers and heifers. Other kinds of cattle have shared in the rise, how- , ever, and prices have ruled far high- er than one and two years ago, the market being much better than was ,- expected a month or so ago. Top- i‘notchjershave sold for 8-11 per 100 r-pounds, these being long-fed heavy, steers, and prime yearlings sold up , ' mam SUMMARY Wheat and corn firm. Oats and rye steady.

It contains loot minute Information up to Within .WW tmwmfii going to press —Ed|tor.) to $10.85, the better demand center- ing on heavy steers. One of the farm- ers who made, an especially good showing on the Chicago market was Lee Wadleigh of Iroquois County, Illinois, who was so fortun- ate as to sell 112 head of prime fat steers, with weights running from 1417 to 1659 pounds at $10.65 to $10.95. These cattle were bought as feeders in the Chicago market last October, when they averaged in weight 1042 pounds and cost $7.68. The margin of profit was $3.19, with a gain of about 500 pounds in weight. They were bred on the Bartlett—Frazier ranch‘ in New Mex- ico. It is noteworthy that recent substantial advances in prices have taken place in the face of very large receipts of, cattle. The week was broken by the Memorial Day holi— day, and there was an advance on the following day, with the top. as high as any day since January, and the general average the highest since last October. On the other hand, the many ordinary cattle sold lower, and there has been a marked decline in prices for butcher cows and heifers. Top beeves at $11 stood $1.65 above the high point of- , May last year. Recent sales were made in the Chicago market of the better class of steers at $10 to $11, the greater part of the steers going at $8.50 to $11.85 and down to $7.- 50 to $8 for the commoner lots. Grassy cattle are arriving, and the range of prices is widening out, with most of the light weight steers 50 to 75 cents loWer than a week ago. Stockers and feeders of desirable quality bring $7.50 to $8.85. A year ago the best beef steers~ brought $9.25. Hogs Markctcd’ Rapidly According to all accounts from farming districts, plenty of hogs are left, and these reports are confirmed by the greatly increased marketings in western markets over those of a year ago. On Monday last week Chicago received 74,491 hogs, the largest number ever marketed in a May day, and this started another downward mOVement in prices, hogs accumulating rapidly from day to day in the stock yards, as many thousands were carried dyer unsold daily. Sales Were made far below prices of one and two years ago, and it cannot be said that there is a very bright promise for a change in the market trend of prices. Eastern shippers are fair buyers, and this helps prices some, but continuous reduced receipts are necessary to bring about better prices. The ex- tremely large consumption of lard ’ in this country, and abroad makes a. big demand for heavy hogs, and the best heavy butcher lots have been selling nearly as high as the highest priced light weights. At the same time it will not pay owners to hold their hogs after they reach maturity, and buyers are not particularly an- xious to buy hogs weighing over 250 - pounds._ Our experts of lard and cured hog meats are all the time far larger than a year ago, and lard ex- ports from North America for ten months of the fiscal year ending with April aggregated 794, 8 3 7 , 4 7 6 pounds. The largest shipments to foreign countries for a full year- were 868,942,000 pounds in 1921, Late sales Were made of hogs on the .. market at $6 to $7.40, comparing with $8.85 to $10.70 a year ago. Marketing Spring Lambs Increasing receipts of spring lambs from California and the middle west in the Chicago Stack Yards. have caused his reductions in prices from those paid at the ,start. » Asedsheep .. 4954c: No. 4. 35;, w—x continue scarce, but they have weal:- ened in values, and heavy ewes are almost unsalable. There is an act- ive demand for feeders in the Chi~ cage market, and good sized lots have gone to the country, Californ- ia .feeding lambs fetching $12.50, while California killing lambs brought $15.50 to $15.76. Clipped yearling wethers have gone out to feeding , districts costing $11.25. Quite a number of good sized ship- ments of. California feeder spring lambs averaging arOund 60 pounds have been sent to Michigan. _ WHEAT The Detroit wheat market has had a weak time of it during the past couple of weeks. The first Week prices did not change to any extent but last week declines totaled 3% cents. The weakness of the market during the forepart of last Week Was hard to understand as the out- look seemed to show that the 'new crap was in bad condition and the country apparently was confrented with a shortage of supplies. Many thought it was smallness of export demand that was causing it; how- ever, ever the holiday export busi- ness became good but this had no ' effect on the trend of prices. To- ,Ward the close of the week the mar- ket developed still more weakness, owing to estimates by leading crop exports that placed the 1923 yield above all dealers’ expectations. Ex- port demand also showed a decline at the close of the.week. Although there are many bearish features in the market right. at the present time, the belief is general on the market that this grain is in a firmer position than it has been for several weeks.

He has outlined a program which is fundamentally sound in so tar as It goes, no doubt, but he has stopped short just where most farmers are convinced he should begin—with the promotion of (ac-operative marketing and reduc- tion of the spread between the price received by the producer and that paid in the consumer, so that the former might receive more than about 33 cents of the consumer's dollar. Speee hes made by President Fri- day at mealtime and at the Michigan State Grange ct Kalamazoo lost him many former friends and were a. keen disappointment to may who were hoping that Dr. Friday would prove to be the Moses who would lead the farmers of Michigan out o! the des- , crt of economic depression and into the promised land at economic sat- istactlon. Fear that plans favored by Dr. Friday and Governor Groesbeck rel- ative to the control of the Extension Division of the college and the county agent system would render the extension work a polical foot- ball and entangle it in the meshes of a political machine probably was one of the factors actuating the Board in its dicision to come to the parting of the ways with President Friday.
