TATE Tax Commissioner George
Bord has just announced that
the state tax for 1923 will be

about 81, 800, 000 less than it was in
,. 1922 and the state tax rate will be

"'»'~.mand 75 cents per 8.1 000 valua- .

- tion’ lower.
There are two factors responsible
for the prospective cut in the tax
' Into. One, according to Mr. Lord, is
that state expenses have been so re-
fuuced that the total amount to be
_ a raised will probably not exceed 816, -
“000,000. The state tax last year
was $17,300,000. The" other is the
increase in the state valuation for
tax purposes, fixed by the State
Board at Equalization late yester-
day.

The billion and one-half dollar in-
q crease in valuation would naturally

lower the rate, even it the amount
to be raised were the some as last
year. The decrease of 81, 300, 000
' in the amount to he raised further
cuts the rate.

The 1922 state tax rate was ap-
proximately 83. 08 per thousand. The
prospective new tax rate is about
88.32 per thousand.

‘ Record Valuation Jump

The Board of Equalization in—
creased the valuation of the state for
tax purposes 81, 540, 000 «000 over
the 1922 equalized valuation of 85, -

_ 000, 000, 000. _ The new unlined
' valiiation of 86, 540 .000, 000 is a he-
,dnction of 85,065,000 from the
State Tax Commission’s recdmmend-
ed valuation for this year.

The increase in the value of the
state’s taxable property is the larg-
est jump over decided upon by a
board of equalization for a single
year. The advance was largely
attributed to the fact that the
1923 legislature enacted laws lim-
iting the mill tax appropriations
for the University of Michigan and
the Mi 11 Agricultural College to
$3, 000, 000 and 81, 000, 000 a year,
‘ respectively. Heretotore the mill tax
appropriations have increased in pro-

‘portion to the valuation.
. The $1, 500, 000, 000 increase will
have little effect on the proportion
of the state tax to be paid by any
county. The increase is spread hor-
imntally, except in the case of 10
-northern counties. They are given

_ reductions. The sheet of the in-
crease will be to raise whatever the
amount of the state tax amounts to

_ on a larger valuation, which means

lower rates. The total amount to
be paid out by any individual or
countris not altered.

The 85,065,000 reduction from
the State TarCommimion's recom-
mhdfi valuation was arrived at by
cutting $50,000 from Crawford,
$109,000 from Delta, $50,000 from
Huron, 850, 000 from Iosco, 850,-

Rural Districts Get Benefit

The reduction in the levy on the,

rural districts and the raise to the
industrial centers is all the more
noteworthy because of the tremend-
ous euort which was made by De-
troit representatives to show that
city levies should be reduced or at
least kept down to present levels.
The decision of the board is a splen-
did tribute to the supervisors and
others who so ably represented the
rural districts.

Thirty-Six States

may be that the farmers of
Michigan were not such moss-
backed resctionaries as they

were pictured by the city papers

when they ask for a gasoline tax last
spring. The tact that a majority of
the states have now gone on record
or are collecting a gasoline tax to
maintain their good roads, means
that now Michigan will have to fol-
low the crowd, instead of being one
of the leaders.

One prominent state official, in an
address before a farmers picnic in
Michigan last week, went on record
as favoring a gasoline tax of 3 cents

It is well to recall that in the
hearings recently held before the
State Board of Equalization to de-
termine the State’s equalized value
and to re—apportion the tax levy
among the several counties of the
state; Michigan farmers and the
Michigan State Farm Bureau were
ably represented by Melville B. Mc-
Pherson, of Lowell, member of the
Board of Directors of the State Farm
Bureau, and an acknowledged auth-
ority On taxation matters.

Mr. McPherson presented evidence
to prove what is commonly known to
be true, namely that in Michigan to-
day rural property is valued relative-
ly higher than is city property. He
declared before the Tax Board that

Wayne county should remaln at its
recommended value for 1923 while
the rest of the state should be re-
duced an average of 10.87 per cent.

McPherson declared that farm
property is either assessed too high
or the utilities of the state'and city
property are assessed too low and he
gave figures to show that while the
tax commission had increased the
general property valuation of the
state 78 per cent since 1916, mining
properties from 1915 to 1922 were
increased only 25 per cent, and for
the same period the railroads and
other corporations paying the pri-
mary school interest fund specific
tax were increased only 19 per cent.

Mr. McPherson said real estate
and corporate property in Detroit

per gallon and a. flat rate of 82 for

The. farm bureau and other farm
organizations are keeping up the
agitation and the fact that the state
highway fund is now almost a mem-
ory, means that some method of
bringing in the necessary funds to
keep up the elaborate, but apparent—
ly necessary good-roads program,
must be adopted and at once.

ors, is the only direct method of tax-
ing the automobile and truck for

gasoline, pays only its proportionate
share as against the heavy truck
that burns a gallon to the mile. The
bus lines, all using heavy motors will
also come in for their just dues.

The president of one of the larg-
est truck lines in Michigan is on rec-
ord as favoring a gasoline tax as
high as ten cents a gallon, if neces-
sary, to keep up the paved roads and
he says it will be economy for his
company. This is applicable as well
to every individual owner of auto-
mobile or truck, as a road in bad
condition can do more damage in a
dozen miles of hard— —going than the
gasoline tax would amount to in a.
year.

Forty-Ono Millions From Gas Tax

State gasoline taxes in the United
States this year are expected to
bring in $41,607, 835 additional rev—
enue, according to a compilation
made by Dow, Jones & Company.
Eighteen states imposed the tax in
1922, and thirty— —six states will be
taxing gasoline with a levy of from
1 cent to 3 cents a gallon before De—
cember 31.

The revenue raised by the gaso—
line tax in 1922 was $11, 923, 442, of
which $6,474,178 was applicable to
state road work.

Last year 12,239,144 automo-
biles were registered, giving 3. rev-
enue of $152,047, 823, of which
$117,093,116 was used for road con-
struction and repair. More than 2, -
000, 000 new cars were produced in
the first six months this year, and
their registration and licensing will
increase highway revenue.

2,,607 000, 000 Gallons Taxed

Estimated total gasoline consump-
tion in 1922 in the states which
passed gasoline tax laws was 2 607, -
000, 000 gallons out of a total do-
mestic consumption of 5,366,000,000
gallons in that year, according to the
information. Estimated yield of
gasoline taxed in 1924, levied in
thirty-six states out of forty-eight, is
$41, 607, 890, based on 1922 regis-
tration of 12 ,,239 114 cars and
trucks and an annual consumption
for each vehicle of 424 gallons, the
average estimated by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
Estimation is 1,000 gollons for each
truck and 358 gallons for each pass-
enger car, but 10,793,930 passenger
cars greatly outnumbered trucks,
thereby lowering the combined aver—
age. Cars and trucks now in use
number about 13, 500, 000, according:-

to latest estimates. With the lic-
ense tax only, owners of cars pay no
tax for use of roads outside their
own states, but payment for such ‘
use can be collected by means of a
gasoline tax. ,

May 15, 1923. Mr. Noon has some
heifers which show promise of de-
veloping into fine cattle to fill the
ranks of his herd.

After viewing the herd, the
party repaired to the apple orch-

‘ard where the effects of fertilizer

upon apple trees was viewed. Mr.
Noon had put amonia phosphate

,- 1».

He-

fertilizer upon several strips of
ground in the 16-acre apple orch-
ard, and where the fertilizer had
been laid,. and where it had been
omitted, the difference was plainly
marked. While in the orchard,
Decker and Noon gave several talks
on the value of fertilizer, and Noon
stated that before long there might
be an announcement made that
would revolutionize fertilization.

and Europe will take off their hats

Inspection of the herds already
mentioned occupied the entire
morning and the tourists Mom to

Corners for a picnic dinner. After
the seventy-five people present had
satisfied their hunger with great
quantities of farm cooking, ‘ Mr.
Spencer introduced Mr. Decker as
toastmaster. Mr. Decker in his
opening speech made the statement
that “best satisfied farmers are
dairymen” and it was echoed and
expanded by every succeeding
speeker. W. R.. Harper, state vice-
president, was introduced as the
first speaker. Mr. Harper explainv

Accusations of profiteering have
been hurled right and left; the tar-

have been ordered; “Some one
should go to jail,” say some people.

_written by writers whose only

ar is a white powder they put in their

, There has been such a confused
mass of stuff .put out that the major-
ity of people are mystified and wond—
er what the real facts are.

We in the United States last year
consumed 5,700,000 tons of sugar.
This is nearly a million tons more
than we had ever consumed before
in the same time.

From its large production and its
.peculiar connection with our tariff
laws, which will be explained furth—

trols at certain times of the year the

Sugar used in the United States
was grown in the following places:

50, 000 tons; United «States (cane

HE writer of this article. Mr. C. 11111131., is the president of a
farmer-owned sugar company at Defiance, Ohio, and has spent
considerable time studying the sugar market and conditions

governing it.

This article is the result of his work.
will remember the article on the sugar market by Mr.

Most of you
Simon G.

Palmer, sugar statistician, that appeared in a recent issue of the

Business Farmer.

You will find that both of these market experts

have arrived at the same conclusion, and that is to produce our

own sugar and not depend on Cuba.

What is your idea?

 

 

sugar, both beet and cane, grown in
1921 and carried over to 1922.

In February of this year, in ac—
cordance with its usual custom, the
Department of Commerce made an
estimate of the sugar available for
consumption in 1923. This estimate
showed a “carry over” of 477,000
tons from 1923 to 1924. As the “car-
ry over” of Cuban sugar alone from
1921 to 1922 was 1,600,000 tons
this is a decided de’crease- in the fu-
ture visible supply. Remembering
with anything but pleasure their
painful position when sugar was
scarce, buyers immediately jumped
in' and the “war was on.” Prices
soared.

The bulletin of the Department of

Commerce Was confessedly merely.

an estimate; it could not have been
anything else. It was compiled from
the best information they could get.

 

The Department of Agriculture

now comes out with another esti—
mate.
by the Secretary of Agriculture of
the Republic of Cuba. These all
give different figures. Practically
eVery sugar dealer makes his own
estimates, and it is the opinions
formed by these estimates that make
a difference in the views people hold
of what the price should be.

Geographically our sugar supply
comes from tw0 sources:

First: From the United States and
its dependencies; beets in the United
States; cane from Hawaii, Porto
Rico, Philippine Islands, and Louis-
iana and Texas in the United States.

Second: From the Republic of
Cuba; all cane. '

Most of our sugar comes from
Cuba.

All sugar made from cane must
go through a refining process to

Refining '

The refineries that handle the
sugar extracted from cane coming
from Cuba for American consump-
tion are, for convenience and profit,
built along the sea coast.

The beet sugar growu in the
United States does not go through
this refining process. Each beet
sugar factory granulates land washes
its OWn sugar, making it-ready for
the table.

It is important to understand this
difference as because of it a very bit-
ter competition is maintained be-
tween the beet sugar farmer and
factories extracting the sugar from
the beets on one side, and the sugar
refineries refining Cuban cane sugar
on the other. The same thing is
true between the cane sugar farmers
of Louisiana and the Cuban cane
sugar farmers represented by the
refining companies.

It has been acknowledged by
every one if it were not for the tar-
iff there would be no American sug-
ar industry, neither. the cane northe
beet could exist without protection
against the cheaply grown cane of
the tropics. The amount of this
tariff should be, or whether there
should be any at all, has been warm-
ly cdntested and is a continual bone
.of contension. much to the den-1.
ment of the honae are n p '"duction.

       


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OUR NEW 'PRESIDENT—Calvin Coolidge, who
took the oath as President of the United States
at the farm home of his father near Plymouth,
Vermont, where he was spending a short vacation.
President Coolidge was sworn in by his father who
is a notary public. The elder Dir. Coolidge had
the honor of being the only man ever to swear his
son in as President of the United States. President
Coolidge is expected to do big things.

was the first to

 
   

make the trip up the new
River Rouge development
from the Detroit, River to
the, Ford Turning Basin.
The new channel is crossed
by six modern bridges, all
being the bascule type, like
the one shown to the right.
This channel has been cre-
ated in conjunction with the
River Rouge from the Ford
liIotor' Company’s properties
through the Detroit River,
a distance of about 3%
._ miles, it is 21 feet deep
throughout, is 300 feet
wide at water level and 200
feet wide in the channel
bed. The point of greatest
interest in connection with
this new channel is that
seven or more miles of
water front have been cre-
ated and ’made available

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
  
  
 
   
 
  

for port development,

and

it will

quickly become the

 

 

 

 

center of extensive indus-
t r i a l enterprises. T hi s
whole project is a direct

result of Henry Ford’s de—
cision to locate one of his
large manufacturing plants
on the River Rouge. Be-
cause of the nature of the
land adjacent to the Rouge
it was feasible to dump the
material dredged into the
land Edjoining the channel
and thus fill it up for bet-
ter industrial uses. The
government has paid only
$610,000 for the work done,
while Ford has paid be-
tween four and five million
dollars. (Photo loaned by

RETAIN OUT OF PURCHASE

Three years ago we bought a reg—
istered Durham bull. We had about
twenty stockholders at that time,
we elected our officers which was put

trustees to keep the bull that year.
One year ago I was rehired to keep
the hull for the year 1922, tor SIEG.
This your at the annual meeting the
company voted to soil the hull. The
board of trustees sold the bull to me
for 8.90.50. I collected some money
tor’outside cows that did not belong
This leaves me a
balance due of $25.00. To whom
will I look for my pay and how will
I go about to collect my money?
The hull is in my possession yet. Will
I have the right to sell same? Who
is held responsible for damages done
by bull at present time, as the com-
pany has not signed any papers over
to me?—J. OWL, Blanchard, Mich.
———If you have not paid for the bull.
you may retain the $25.00 out of» the
purchase price. 11!, however, they
owe you $25.00 more than the $90.50
which you owe them. then the only
recourse would be to sue the, comp—
any for the balance. You may sell
the bull it necessary to collect what
is due you, even if. the papers
haven’t been signed over to you, as
you have a. lien on it for your ser-

~are almost thrilled. Yet, young man

 

of the labor occupation on the
farm as timely and applicable to the
bean business. His Hr. Ford’s idea
to work farmers in his factories up-
on the days that they cannot work
on their farms audit is his idea to»
use farmers to build machinery that
they use on the farm during the per-
iod that they are not busy on the
farm.

In line with this the farmers can be
of great service to the bean industry
by picking their beans at hem dur-
ing the winter months, and ereby
earn wages for time that would oth-
erwise be’ unproductive and accord-v
ingly increase the income from the
farm. There are many~ other rea-'
sons in favor of this—among them
are the difficulty to get help in which
to orderly market the crop, as the
substitution of machinery. and cor-
responding reduction in the quality
has not been at‘ all conducive to-
ward increasing the consumption of
beans and improving the quality
The whole family could join in pick-
ing beans with» slight expense for
equipment. '

The difficultly of drawing fair
samples from farm stocks is evident
to all so that in either event, some-
body losses. We have' known farm
tests of 10% to show only 1% actu-
al shrink in the elevators and we
have seen it the other way.

Labor becomes more and more
scarce all the time and it will soon
be impossible to get the picking
work done on a reasonable basis.
The farmer has to pay the price of
picking and handling and the shrink
so why shouldn’t he do the work.
The progressive farmers will quickly
see the advantage of doing all of the
work on the farm necessary to pre-
pare the beans for market. The
progressive dealers will also welcome
a movement of this-kind, because it
will prevent their competitors from
paying unprofitable prices by not
getting the full pick which always
ends in passing on to the consumer
an inferior product. Now if the
farmer wants to put out a strictly
high grade CHP article, he does not
have to depend upon the country
elevators to do it for him. He can
do it at a great deal less expense
himself than they can do it for him,
and by so doing he can improve the
efficiency and income of his farm.—
Benjamin Gerks.

THE FARM

GRICULTURE in this day is con-
sidered a far greater vocation!
than it was forty years ago.

Great progress is being made and
prospects are favorable for young
men who are contemplating farming
as a profession.

The nation realizes the great need
of lending a. helping hand to the
farmer and we understand better the
phrase, “for the farmer is the man
that feeds us all.”

It behooves the farmer of the
twentieth century to be enlightened
and scientific; we are living in an
age of progress and one of great
achievements. We have Agricultur-
al Colleges throughout the land, and
opportunities are open to young
men who are willing to respond and
dare to make great accomplishments.
“Experimentation" in many in-
stances has proved successful by
men who are scientific farmers, and
who have had training in some of
our Agricultural schools.

As a‘.‘ rule, farmer's sons drift into
the cities. Their main reason for
going seems to be- that the farm de-
mands too hard work. Modern im-
provements in machinery are a great
asset. Contrast, if you will. the
times of today with those of thirty or
fifty years ago. What did our
fathers have to face? Low prices of
produce and inadequate machinery.
As we listen to the stories of our
parents concerning farming then, we

  

and young women on the farms to-
day are. dissatisfied. .The times are
as different as day and, night. Con-
sider the ’goOd "marketing of today

ever, encourage one’s' heart for a

brighter future. ‘The writer, himself

sold butter endow for sixty and
seventy cents at times, while, work-
ing the farm of-‘his father. ’ ' , _

Talk about work-L—We must work
wherever we go. The work in the

country does not get as monotonous

as the work in the city for the fact
that on the farm one is apt to under-
take four or five diifereut kinds of

work in one day whereas, in the city

he works at the same thing over and
over again. Furthermore, one is
strictly independent on the farm and
can consider himself" as his “Own
Boss.” _ .
Consider if you will! Suppose

the father of a home in the city is‘

confined to his home by illness.
From whence does the resource
come? On the farm, the wife with
either the children or hired man may
manage to keep, the stone rolling.
And in case of death, where can
money be better invested than in the

farm, where those who survive have

something to fall back upon.

The United States Government is‘

very much in sympathy with the
farmers of today, for the reason that
people are leaving the farms in a
steady stream to go to the towns and
cities. A survey by the Department
of Agriculture shows that nearly
460,000 persons left farms in 1922.
The farm labor supply is only about
88 per cent of the demand. Last
year at this time the supply was 11
per cent more than the demand.
The automobile is another great
advantage to the farmer. Twenty-
five years ago, March 24, 1898, the
first horseless carriage was sold and
was delivered one week later. Then
twenty cars were sold during the
first year, whereas, today there are’
more than ten million registered car
ovfners in the United States alone.
The bright future there is for farm—
ers to sell their produce by the use of
trucks! ‘
On April, this year, there was a
shortage of 12 per cent for employ-
ment on the farm. The movement
from the farm to the city last year is
estimated by the Department of
Agriculture to have been 2,000,000
persons. As some 880,000 persons
indulged in the "Back-to—the—Farm"
movement, .there was a net shift in
farm population of approximately
1,120,000 or 3.6 per cent in our
rural agricultural population. The
excess of births over deaths reduced
the net loss to 460,000. Several
causes have combined to bring about
this “On-to—the-city" movement. The
fear has often been expressed that
the movement away from the agri-
cultural districts offers a continuous

thread to our food supply, and so to -

ones national life.

The movement from the~ farm to
the city certainly can not go on for-
ever, although we are reminded
that the increased use of farm mach-
inery may be expected to do much
toward making up the labor short-
age.

Restricted immigration has re-
sulted in a stringency of common
labor. Building operations, high-
way constructions, railway better-
ments and extensions, and public
works demand tens of thousands of
“pick-and-shovel” men. Wages by
the hours for unskilled labor are
nearly double what they were two
years ago. Congress at present is
considering the influx of unskilled
workers into the United States. “Ad-
vice is almost as dangerous as pre-
diction." but there‘are certain cau-
tions which ought to be definitely
placed before the farmer. Beyond
all question, he would be wise to
think twice before he undertakes a
program. of large production at
greatly enhanced costs. Needless to
say, this suggestion bears no rela-
tionship whatever to the advice that
some have in times past govern the
farmer to. curtail his output in the
hope that in this monitor... he'wonld'

BEAljl CROP WILL BE'LESS
THAN EXPECTED
TAKE notice there is a great
howl going up about the over-
supply of wheat. Snow, the
greatest by far crop statistican ‘on'
earth, says it is no such thing. The
carry-over is but very little larger
if any, than usual, no more than
enough to be safe. Wait until the
speculators and elevator ‘men get
a hold of the heft of the crop, then
see the price of wheat and flour
jump. I take notice the middle
men get more hoggish from year to
year. In a few more years they
will expect the farmers to smile
and kindly thank them for taking
the goods off of their hands with-
out any remuneration whatever. .
See where the price of beans has
gone to, all owing to printers’ ink,
too much publicity. Every man,
woman, and child in our state
knows or thinks we are going to
have a bumper crop of beans. The
real facts are, if the whole state is '
like western Michigan we are not
going to have more than one-third
the crop we thought we were going
to have a month ago. On account of
hot, dry weather, the blossoms are
bloated and fall ofl.’ making no pods
and even lots of the small pods fall ‘
off and what pods there are left on
the vine are short and will_ contain *
but few beans. _
We will have to have rain pretty .
soon if we get a third of a crop. All
the good rain will do now is to fill
out what pods there are left. It ~‘
can’t restore pods , and blossoms
which have fallen off. If we don't
get rain pretty soon, all there will ‘
be in the line of spuds is just the
vines.-——A. A. Lambertson, Kent

But persecution is not the only,

nor the large, present tense of this
text. It is but an accompaniment
« of, blessedness. And blessedness is
a consequence of an inward charac-

teristic of loyalty to the Heavenly'
“churchianr

government. Much of
ityf'wplaces‘ its emphasis upon ont-
~ward characteristics. But Christ

' emphasizes the inward.

ti Jesus spoke for the disciples then ‘
living. He gave them fair warning ‘

»of.~_what they misht expect from the
world. . The disciple's life then Was
spent “in Journeyings, in labor, and

» in distresses." He always was front-
ing danger like some doomed crim-
inal. Paul relates, "We are tools
for Christ’s sake.” We are “as men
doomed to death.” Like their Mas-
ter, they had no dwelling place or
localities. The Galilean had no place
to lay his head. “There is but one
price for human freedom—blood."
True. But the blood spilled in a
moral resistance to a worldly antag—
onism. .Here is where Love meets
persecution and suffering and sacri-
fines her life to atone for hatred.
Don’t you believe it? Hear that
burning word on the Cross, “Father,
forgive them, for they know not
what they do.”

But Jesus proclaims an all-time
principle. History has proved it
and the future will evidence it
wherever sin abounds. “I stood in
their dark dungeons with their rusty
implements of torture devised by
man for the punishement of man, and
in the damp cellars where their vic-
tims who were found with Bibles,
were chained naked to be eaten by
armies of hungry rats.” so writes
Sherwood Eddy from Central
Europe. But, says he, "The spirit
- .of John Hues triumphs." Even so,

"He that endureth to the end shall
be saved." This too, is the last
message of the apostle John in the
"The Revelation," where we have a
pictorial description of conflict and
persecution. thruont the Christian
age; but all of which is to result in
arebirth at. the nations and the “es-
tablishment of e New Jerusalem."
So, roll on, 0 w eels of Time!

. To sketch the beattitudes is to
see Christian idealism as always an-
tagonistic to worldly standards.
They are foreign to the habits and
notions of sinful man. When you

r are a friend to Grace, you are a

foreigner to the world. And a for-
eigner is watched, restricted, and
‘otten severely persecuted. Said
thesoldier on" guard in the recent
,, war, “Who are you?" “What is your
nationality?” way all this? Be-
cause a German citizen living 1 the
United States then, was, theore ical-
l‘y,’ an enemy. Politically, he was

- held to be a standing rebuke to

...¢‘

American principles. And a true
Christian, a citizen of the Kingdom

.ot Heaven, must be a standing, re-

pute to the world. His conscience

* ,y‘will register things worldly as evil:
. and this provokes antagonism.

Would be Gospel enthusiasts. But
in this day when the destinies of
nations are being decided in human

blood, is your lite-blood, your per--

sonal or church interest, too great a
price to ask to set up the Society of
the Golden Rule.

When religion walks around with
concealed Weapons, little conflict
need be expected. It Christians are
not suffering as they ought to, is it
because of the leaven oi churchli-
ness in the world or the leaven of
worldliness in the church? Maybe
both. But certainly the churches

Persecutionhnot for your own

faults or temperament; not for
harsh judgement or intolerance of
others; but for “righteousness’

sake” makes the Kingdom assured
to you. Immediately, you recognize
your calling is not of this world. It
brightens your hope and, increases
your vision. Paul and Silas had
their backs lashed to blood, but
made the prison resound with their
praises. Hear the Armenians’ sick-
ening moan! “The blood of the
martyrs is the seed of the church.”

But there is a future Kingdom for
all those who receive the Kingdom
ideals here. The Kingdom spirit
here is the germ pledge of that
more perfect reign to come. Poly-
carp‘ said to his persecutors,
“Eighty-six years have I served him
and he has done me nothing but
good. How then can I revile him,
my Savior and King?” He joyfully
went to the stake for “righteous—
ness’ sake." But burning at the
stake or having our names recorded
on history's pages, in itself, does
not count. There is a large com-
pany of just plain folks who have
become immortalized on the books
of Heaven, but whose names, and
.mention of Whose deeds, have not
occured on human pages. They are
men and women, who by toil, sacri-
fice, and kindness, have helped to
build the community of Christian
good-will.

“They have no place in storied page,
Nor rest in marble shrine;
They are past and gone with a.
perished age;
They died and made no sign.
“They healed sick hearts

their own were broken,
And dried sad eyes till their’s lost
ht-

while

We shall know at last by
token
How they fought and fell in the
light."

To be sung about in this way for
“righteousness’ sake,” is more bless-
ed than to have silver and gold, and
vast possessions. Even yet “The
way of the world is to praise dead
saints and persecute living ones.”

ETU’RN‘ING from a hunting trip, I
waited at the little town of Los
Pinos, in New Mexico, for the south-

bound train, which was One hour late. I
sat on the porch of the Summit House
and discussed the functions of life with
Telemachus Hicks, the hotel proprietor.

Perceiving that personalities Were not
out of order, I asked him what species
of beast had long ago twisted and muti-
lated his left ear. Being a hunter I was
concerned in the evils that may befall
one in the persuit of game.

“That ear," said Hicks,
of true friendship."

"An accident?" I persisted.

"No friendship is an accident,"
Telemachus; and I was silent.

“The only true case of true friendship
I ever knew,” went on my host, “was s.
cordial intent between a. Connecticut man
and a monkey. The monkey climbed
palms in Barranquila and threw down
cocoanuts to the man. The man sawed
them in two and made clippers, which
he sold for two reales each and bought
rum. The monkey drank the milk of
the nuts. Through each being satisfied
with his own share 'of the graft, they
lived like brothers.

“But in the case of human beings,
friendship is a transitory art, subject to
discontinuance without further notice.

“I had a friend once, of the entitlement
of Paisley Fish, that I imagined was
sealed to me for an endless space of
time. Side 'by side for seven~ years we
had mined, ranched, sold patent churns,
herded sheep, took photographs and other
things, built wire fences, and pidked
prunes. Thinks I, neither homicide nor
flattery nor riches nor sophistry nor
drink can make trouble between me and
Paisley Fish. We was friends in busi-
ness, and we let our amicable qualities
lap over and season our hours of recrea-
tion and folly. We certainly had days
of Damon and nights of Pythias.

“One summer me and Paisley gallops
down into these San Andres mountains
for the purpose of a month’s surcease
and Ievity, dressed in the natural store
habiliments of man. We hit this town
of Los Pinos, which certainly was a roof-
garden spot of the world, and flowing
with condensed milk and honey. It had
a street or two, and air, and hens, and
a eating-house; and that was enough
for us.

"We strikes the town after supper-
time, and we concludes to sample what-
ever efficacy there is in this eating-house
down by the railroad tracks. By the
time we had set down and pried up our
plates with a. knife from the red oil—
cloth, along intrudes Widow Jessup with
the hot biscuit and fried liver.

“Now, there was a woman that would
have tempted an anchovy to forget his
vows. She was notso small as she was
large: and a. kind of welcome air seemed
to mitigate her vicinity. The pink of her
face was in hoc signo of a culinary tem-
per and warm disposition and her smile
would have brought out the dogwood
blossoms in December. _

“Widow Jessup talks to us a lot of
garrulousiness about the climate and
history and Tennyson and prunes and
the scarcity of mutton, and finally wants
to know where we came from.

" ‘Spring Valley,’ says I.

" 'Big Spring Valley,’ chips in Paisley,
out of a lot of potatoes and knuckle-
bone of ham in his mouth.

"That was the first sign I noticed that
the old fidus Diogenes business between
me and Paisley Fish was ended forever.
He knew how I hated a talkative person,
and yet he stampedes into the conversa-
tion with his amendments of syntax. On
the map it was Big Spring Valley; but
I had heard Paisley himself call it Spring
Valley a thousand times.

“Without saying any more, we went
out after supper and set on the railroad
track. We had been pardners too long
not to know what was going on in each
other’s mind.

“ ‘I reckon you understand,’ says Pais-
lfiY. 'that I've‘ made up my mind to ac-
crue that widow woman as part and par—
cel in and to my hereditaments forever,
both domestic, sociab' is, legal, and other-
wise, until death us do part.’

“ 'W'hY. Veal says I, ‘I read it between
the lines, though you only spoke one.
And I suppose you are aware,‘ says 1—,
‘that I have a movement on foot that
leads up to the widow’s changing her
name to Hicks. and leaves you writing
to the society column to inquire as to
whether the‘best man .wears a japonica
or seamless socks at the wedding.

“ ‘There'll be some hiatuses in your
program; says Paisley, chewing up a
piece of a railroad tie, ‘I’d give in to you,’
says he, ‘in 'mosiL any respect if it was
secular affairs. 'but this “is not so. The
smiles of waman.’ goes ‘on Paisley. ‘is
the whirlpool of Spuills and Chalybeates,
into which vortex the ,good ship Friend-
ship is often drawn and dismembered.

shoulder-blades With opodeldoc the sarm
as ever; but 'there my .sense of etipuetto
ceases. In this fracas ,with Mrs. Jessup
we, play it alone. I’ve notified you fair.’

"And then I collaborates with myself,
and offers the following resolutions and
by-laws:

“ ‘Friendship between man and man.’
says I, 'is an ancient historical virtue
enacted in the days when men had to
protect each other against lizards with
eighty-foot tails and flying turtles. And
they’ve kept up the habit to this day,
and stand by each other till the bell-boy
comes up and tells them the animals are
not really there. I’ve often heard,’ I says,
‘bout ladies stepping in and breaking up
a friendship between men. Why would
that be? I'll tell you Paisley, the first
sight and hot biscuit of Mrs. Jessup ap-
pears to have inserted a oscillation into
each of our bosoms. Let the best man
of us have her. I‘ll play you a square
game, and won’t do any under-handed
work. I’ll do all of my courting of her
in your presence, so you will have an
equal opportunity. With that arrange-
ment I don't ’see why our steamboat of
friendship should fall overboard in the
medicinal Whirlpools you speak of, which-
ever of us wins out.”

" ‘Good old hoss!’ says Paisley, shak-
ing my hand. ‘And I’ll do the same,’
says he. ‘We'll court the lady synon-
ymously, and without any of the prudery
and bloodshed usual to such occasions.
And we’ll be friends still, win or lose.‘

- “At one side of Mrs. Jessup’s eating-
house was a bench under some trees
where she used to sit in the breeze
after the south-bound hed been fed and
gone. And there me and Paisley used
to congregate after supper and make
partial payments on our yespectsto the
lady of our choice. And we was so hon-
orable and circuitous in our calls that if
one of us got there first we waited/for
the other before beginning any gallivant-
ery. .

“The first evening that Mrs. Jessup
knew about our arrangement I got to
the bench before Paisley did. Supper
was just over, and Mrs. Jessup was out
there with a. fresh pink dress on, and
almost cool enough to handle.

“I sat down by her and made a few
specifications about the moral surface of
nature as set forth by the landscape and
the contiguous perspective. That evening

 

twitch-'5 ,9 '33

“We strikes the town after supper-u
time.” A ’

was surely a case in point, The moon
was attending to business in the section '
of sky where it belonged, and the trees
was making shadows on the ground ac-
cording to science and nature, and there
was a. kind of conspicuous huilabaloo
going on in the bushes between the bull-
bats and the orioles and the jack—rabbits
and other feathered insects of the forest.
And the wind out of the mountains was
singing like a‘jew’s-harp in the pile of
old‘ tomato—cans by the railroad track.

I felt a. kind of sensation in my left
side-«something like dough rising in a
crock by the fire. Mrs. J essup had moved
up closer.

“ ‘Oh, Mr. Hickis,’ says she, ‘when one
is alone in the world. don't they feel it
more aggravated on a. beautiful night like
this?"

“I rose up off the bench at once. 1 '

teapot-the other. in , y . __
, ore mushy‘walks of life, such as might
”beifomented by sentiment: and proximity.
.Mrs. » Jessup appears 'to' think serious

about the matter for a. minute, and-then

she“ breaks into a species \of laughter
that makes the wildwood resound.

“In a few minutes Paisley drops
around, with'oil of bergamot on his hair,
and sits on the other side of Mrs. Jessup.
and inaugurates a sad tale of adventure
in ,which him and Pieface Lumley has a.
skinning-match of dead cohvs in ’95 for
a silver-mounted saddle in the Santa Rita
valley during the nine months’ drought.

“Now,_from the start of that courtship
I had Paisley Fish hobbled and tied to
a. post. Each one of us had a different
system for reaching out fer "the easy
places ina the female; hea'rt.’ Paisley's
scheme Was to'petrify ‘em with wonder—
ful relations of events that he had either
come across personally or in large print.
I think he must have got his idea of sub-
jugation from one of Shakespeare’s shows
I see once called ‘Othello.’ There is a

colored man in it who acquires a duke’s/

daughter by disbursing to her a mixture
of the talk turned out by Rider Haggard,
Lew Dockstader, and Dr. Parkhurst. But
that style of courting don’t work well off
the stage.

- “Now, I give you my own recipe for
inVeigling a woman‘ into that state of
affairs when she can be referred to as
‘nee Jones.’ Learn how to pick up her
hand and hold it, and she’s yours. It
ain’t so easy. Some men grab at it
‘so much like they were going to set
a dislocation of the shoulder that you can
smell‘the arnica. andrhear ’eni tearing
ofi bandages. Some take it up like a hot,
horseshoe, and hold it off at arm’s length
like a druggist pouring tincture of asa-
d’oetida in a bottle. And most of ’em
catch hold of it and drag it right out
before the lady’s eyes like a boy finding
a baseball in the grass, without giving
her a chance to forget that the hand is
growing on the end of her arm. Them
ways are all wrong.

“I’ll tell you the right way. Did you
ever see a man sneaw out in the back
yard and pick up a rock and throw at
a tomcat that was sitting on a fence
looking at him? He pretends he hasn't
got a thing in his hand, and that the
cat don't see him, and that he don’t see
the cat. That’s the idea. Never drag
her hand out where she’ll have to take
notice of it. Don’t let her know that you
think she knows you have the least idea
she is aware you are holding her hand.
That was my rule of tactics; and as far
as Paisley’s serenade about hostilities
and misadventure went, he might as well
have been reading to her a time-table of
the Sunday trains that‘x stop at Ocean
Grove, New Jersey.

“One night when I beat Paisley to the
’bench by one pipeful, my friendship gets
subsized for a minute, and I asks Mrs.
Jessup if she didn’t think a ‘H’ was
easier to write than a ‘J.’ In a second
her head was mashing the Oleander flower
in my button-hole, and I leaned over and
—but I didn’t.

“ ‘If you don’t mind,’ says I, standing
'up. ‘we’ll wait for Paisley to come be-
fore finishing this. I’ve never done any-
thing dishonorable yet to our friendship,
and this won’t be quite fair.’ '

“ ‘Mr. Hicks,’ says Mrs. Jessup, look-
ing at me peculiar in the dark, ‘if it
wasn’t for but one thing, I’d ask you to
hike yourself down thevgulch and never
disresume your visits to my house.’

“ ‘And what is that, ma’am?” I asks.

“ ‘You are too good a friend not to
make a good husband,’ says she.

“In five minutes Paisley was on his
Side of Mrs. Jessup.

“ ‘In Silver City, in the summer of ’98,’
he begins, ‘I see Jim Bartholomew chew
off a Chinaman’s ear in the Blue Light
Saloon on account of a cross-barred mus-
lin shirt that—what was that noise?”

“I had resumed matters again with
Mrs. Jessup right where we had left off.

“ ‘Mrs. Jessup,’ says I, ‘has promised
to make it Hicks. And this is another
of the same sort.’

' “Paisley winds his feet around a leg
of the bench and kind of groans.

“ ‘Lem,’ say-s he, ‘we been friends for
seven years. Would you mind not kissing
Mrs. Jessup quite so loud? I’d do the
same for you.’

“ ‘All right,’ says I.
.will do as Well.’

“ ‘This Chinaman,’

‘The other kind

Mullins in the spring of ’97, and that

friend ’yyou wouldn’t hug Mrs. Jessup
quite so hard. I felt. the bench shake
all over just then. Yen know you told
me you would give me an even chance
as long as there was any.’ . .
' “’ ‘Mr. Man,’ says Mrs. Jessup, turning
around to Paisley, ‘of you was to drop in
to the celebration of mine and Mr. Hick’s
silver wedding, twenty-five years from
now, do you think you could get it into
that Hubbard squash you call your head
that you are nix cum rous in the busi-
ness? I’ve put up with you a long time
because you was Mr. Hicks’s friend;
but it seems to me that its time for you
'tonwear the willow and trot off down the
hi .’

“ ‘Mrs. Jessup,’ says I, without losing

 

' :my grasp on the situation as fiance, ‘Mr.

Paisley is my friend, and I offered him
a-square deal and a equal opportunity
as long as there was a chance.’

“ ‘A chance!’ says she. ‘ Well, hemiay
think he has a chance; but I hope he
won’t think he’s got a cinch, after what
he’s been next to all the evening.’

“Well a month afterwards me and Mrs.
Jessup was married in the Los Pinos
Methodist Church; and the whole town
closed up to see the performance.

“When we lined up in front, and the
preacher was beginning to sing out his
rituals and Observances, I looks around
and misses Paisley. I calls time on the
preacher. Paisley ain’t here,’ says I.
We‘ve got to wait for Paisley. A friend
once, a. friend always—that’s Telemachus
Hicks,’ says I. Mrs. Jessup’s eyes snap—
ped some; but the preacher holds up the
incantations accOrding to instructions.

“In a few minutes Paisley gallops up
the aisle, putting on a cuff as he comes.
He explains that the only dry-goods store
in town was closed for the wedding, and
he couldn’t get the kind of a boiled shirt
that his taste called for until he had
broke open the back window of the store
and helped himself. Then he ranges up
on the other side of the bride, and the
wedding goes on. I always imagined that
Paisley calculated as a last chance that
the preacher might marry him to the
widow by mistake.

“After the proceeding was over we had
tea and jerked antelope and canned ap—
ricots, and then the populace hiked itself
away. Last of all Paisley shook me by
the hand and told me I’d actedsquare and
on the level with him and he was proud
to call me a friend.

“The preacher had a small house on
the side of the street that he’d fixed up
to rent; and he allowed me and Mrs.
Hicks to occupy it until the 'ten—forty
train the next morning, when we was
going on a bridal tour to El Paso. His
wife had decorated it all up with holly-
hoeks and poison ivy, and it looked real
festal and bowery.

“About ten o’clock that night I sets
down in the front door and pulls off my
boots a while in the cool breeze, while
Mrs. Hicks was fixing around in the room.
Right soon the light went out inside; and
I sat there a while reverberating over
old times and scenes. And then I heard
Mrs. Hicks call out, ‘Ain’t you coming in
soon, Lem?’

“Well, well,” says I, kind of rousing
up. “Durn me if I wasn’t waiting for
old Paisley to ”

“But when I got that far,” concluded
Telemachus Hicks, “I thought somebody
had shot this left ear of mine off with
a forty-five. But it turned out to be
only a lick from a broomhandle in the
hands of Mrs. Hicks.”

‘-

“Trodden Gold” by Howard Vincent
O’Brien. The book is a splendid study
in contrasts as it unfolds the lives of the
two sisters, the spiritual and financial
progress of their husbands, the ultimate
l'ewards of their efforts and the resulting
effect on the whole Ball family. It ques-
tions the philosophy of a life that makes
the accumulation of riches for their own
sake its one aim and reveals the quite
tangible advantages in depth and richness
of character and fineness of spirit that
accrue to him who devotes himself to the
betterment of mankind, to bringing new
knowledge to the world's science, and
to a life of service to his fellow men. ($2.)

THE 1923 STATE FAIR

HE Michigan State Fair at Detroit opened its
gates yesterday and they will not closeuntil
the evening of September 9th, so that every

citizen of this great state will have an opportun-
ity in viewing its every department in detail.
There are two ways of coming to the State
Fair at Detroit and the value of either is measur-
ed exactly by the desire which prompts the indi-
vidual in his decision to come.
The first way is to make a hurried one~day visit

‘to the Fair and try to crowd into it as much

amusement as is possible with only a fleeting
glance here and there at the exhibits of an educa—
tional nature which have taken months to pre-
pare. Then to make a canvass of the midway,
renew acquaintances with the ancient freaks and
hurry to the grandstand for the afternoon and
evening performances, followed by the grand dis-
play of fireworks.

The other individual and his family come to
the Fair and prepare to stay at least one night,
which gives them two full days into which they
pack a carefully and well planned examination of

the various exhibits, particularly those in which.

they are specializing in their own daily work.

There is not a single department of the fair
from better babies to the display of Michigan
wild life which is not worth a careful and thor—
ough examination. There is something for every
man, woman and child who comes to the Michi-
gan State Fair. It is today, more than an ordin-
ary fair and must not be compared even with its
own exhibitions of five years ago. You, who
have visited the fair at Detroit during the past
two or three years, will readily grant that this
fair has now become a real exposition and that it
actually ranks among the three greatest fairs held
on the American continent will be no surprise to
you.

Provisions have been made for automobile
tourists who bring their own camping outfits, and
there are accomodations on the grounds for not
less than a thousand cars, and running water and
toilet facilities have been provided within the
grove which will make this an attractive place to
stop for one or more nights.

No other fair enjoys the favorable ‘ location
which this fair does. in its proximity to America’s
fourth city. The Michigan State Fair enjoyed
the largest attendance of any fairvon the Ameri-
can continent in the year 1922, and there is every
indication that the year 1923 will far surpass in
attendance any previous year. , .

  

It is to be remembered that the State M II-

now entirely owned by the state of ,
that all profits from it, together wine.

that of previousyears. om would not 3130 1331.13. ‘ I '

our full recommendation if we were not sin-
cerely enthusiastic over the’ present educational

.and recreational value of the Michigan State-

Fair at Detroit.

STATE TAX LOWERED
HERE is cheering news coming from Lansing

to confirm thebeiief which we expressed on

this page earlier in the season that the state
tax rate would be cut this year.

The 1922 state tax rate was approximately
$3. 08 per thousand. The prospective new rate
will be, it is hoped, $2. 32 per thousand, a cut
of '15 cents per thousand.

Two factors it is claimed are responsible for
the lowering of the state tax. First. that the
operating expenses of the state have been cut
from $17,300,000 to $16,000,000; second, because
the increase in state valuation for tax purposes

as fixed by the state board of equalization, has '

increased the valuation of the state over one
billion and a half dollars.

There is. cheering news to the ten northern
counties in the fact that they are getting a larger
slice of the melon, but there is a reduction
throughout the state of approximately ten per-
cent.

We have contended right along that time alone
could efface the post-war conditions and that
gradually but surely conditions would readjust
themselves and the farmer would find himself
on a firmer business foundation than he has
been at any time in the history of this country.

One of the things that we knew must happen
was that state and national taxes would have
to be lowered. At the last election both parties
promised that the greatest single purpose they
would attempt to attain during their adminis-

appear from the information which has just
come from Lansing that the present administra-
tion at least had made a sincere attempt to live
up to their pre~election promise.

'rnn snon'r swarm) BEAN Joanna

E have it on good authority that there are
W one or two prominent bean jobbers in

Michigan who do not like our statement
that we intend to inform the farmers of Michi-
gan as to who are contributing and who are not
contributing to the campaign for advertising navy
beans to the c0nsumer.’

We did not make this statement in the nature
of a threat. We made it because we believe the
farmers of Michigan are entitled to know who
their friends are and we are anxious to find out
the names of the reactionary gentlemen Who do
not see things through modern eyeglasses.

There should be no' factions in the bean in-
dustry in Michigan. There was a time when the
bean jobbers association as a whole were looked
upon by the bean growers of Michigan as directly
opposed to their interests. '

Thanks to the farsightedneas of some big men
on both sides of this controversey, these days
have passed, and all realize now that the Michi—
gan navy bean will find its rightful place in the
market and that all interests concerned "in its
welfare will benefit most by carefully planned
and coordinated cooperative work.

We are intensely interested in this plan to ad-
vertise beans to the American consumer the same
as California associations are advertising prunes,
citrus fruit, raisins and other staples with such
great success

We are endeavoring to prove our sincerity by
using ample space in THE BUSINESS FARMER
to tell the bean growers of Michigan about these,
plans and thus to encourage the farmer himself
to cooperate with the buyer of his beans.

We intend to leave no stone unturned by which
it is possible for us to extend any help to this
cause which may be within our power.

AMERICA’S SWEET 100'!!!

N another page in this issue _Mr. C. H. Allen,
who is president of the farmer-owned sugar
company at Defiance, Ohio, asks why \it is

necessary for the United States to go beyond our
own border lines to buy sugar. and the reading
of this article is well worth the time of every
farmer who grows now or may in the future,
grow sugar beets. '

run WHEAT rams Asp FAB-M PBOBPM
HILE half the people have'be'o'n searint the .
other half about wheat prices and the aw- - '

tui outlook for the future prosperity.nanr

of us have overlooked the fact that the price of,

corn has gradually advanced until on‘July 31m.
it reached a figure which, with the exception of
the three years 1917-1919, is the highest on
record, at least since 1868.

We have long been accustomed to thinking of
one dollar as the standard price of wheat and
fifty cents for corn.
fallen a few cents below its standard, corn is
worth within a few cents of twice its standard.
value. Is the present price of wheat, then. the
catastrophe we have been told it is, particularly
when we remember that for every bushel of

wheat raised in this country, we produce over’ I

three bushels of corn? In other words for
every bushel of wheat which is o! a few cents
in value, there are three bushels of cormhn each
of which farmers will collect nearly twice the
standard value.

Then, too, we find that oats and barley are
worth, rather'more today than they were a year
ago. Two years ago cotton brought only eight
cents a pound, and corn but 18 cents a bushel
in Nebraska and lows. Now cotton is worth,
25 cents a pound and corn 90 cents a bushel.
Tobacco has advanced from five to 36 cents a
pound. ~—«

According to former Secretary of Agriculture.
E. T. Meredith, the value of corn, wheat, em
and barley crops on the'farms was approflmatoiy
$500, 000, 000 more July 1 of this year than on
the same date a year ago. K

Apparently, the current price of wheat is not
the most important, nor indeed, the only aspect
of interest in the present farm situation. Its
importance, however, has been exaggerated until
it doubtless, overshadows every other factor in
the minds of most people. It would seem that
those who have been most energetic in the pro-
paganda of discouragement have been those who
hope, ardently, to retain their political seats, by
the now worn- -out method of howling calamity
to the farmer. .

 

FROM FARM T0 CITY

0 less an authority than Dr. R. M. Olin,
health commissioner of the state of Mich-
igan, in a full page article in one of the Do-

\troit dailies points out that the present migra-
tion of farmers to the city must result in a car-
tailment of food products which will force prices
up and make farming again the most remuner-
ative and pleasant of man’ s occupations. _

We have been pointing out right along that
this condition was bound to exist sooner or later
and that the boy or girliwho hastened to the city

and abandoned the farm of their parents was not ‘

necessarily going to make the greatest profit over
a ten year period. .
Recently a survey was made in Ohio which

proved that the actual living expense of a family ’

was some $1,200 per year greater in the city than.
in the country. That is, that the farmer would
have to earn $1,200 more per year in the city
simply to make up for the food and living ac-
commodations which he finds on his farm. That
is something to think about before you move!

Dr. Olin points out in another part of his art-
icle that strange as it may seem, "the city is rapid-
ly outdistanclng the country as a healthy place
in which to live, and that this is largely responsr

ible because of two important factors,—-first be- ,

cause of the large number .of files which come
from livestock kept too close to the home, caus-
ing dysentery and other kindred diseases, and

second, because it is hard for the famer to“
learn that when the winter season comes wifi ,
its slack period of manual labor, he mm m

down his food requirements.
Because the farmer is accustomed to

large quantities of food during the busy day. of:

OUR FRIEND McRAE ,,
ARREN *McRAE of Logansport,
Indiana,‘ says we have done

him a great injustice in stating

that he did not have an office and
that he was rooming in a morning
house. That statement came to us
in a letter from a reader who stated
thpt the Chief of Police of Logan-
port had so reported to her, but

' whether it is true or not has little

bearing on the facts in the case.
The facts are that Warren McRae
advertised in Michigan newspapers
for farms for sale, stating that " he
.had buyers ready and waiting. When
the owner of a farm wrote'him he
sent a printed circular letter stating
that to list the farm with his agency
would require a down payment of
$10 and in this letter and various

< follow—up letters which we have on

file in thm ofice, Mr. McRae stated

. he was sending buyers-to Michigan
‘ and gave their names.

'Mr. McRae has now published a
booklet which apparently contains
the listing of several hundred farm-
ers who have paid him a ten dollar
fee and he states that he has pubr

fished one thousand copies of this

write. I sent them'$5.50 for their
outfit—it consisted of some small'
bottles of color like ink, some little
pine sticks, a wad of absorbent
cotton, four thumb tacks and four
designs stamped on unbleached
muslin. The idea was to fill in the

smearing it on with absorbant cot-
ton wrapped around sticks. I did
this very carefully and sent them to
the company. They wrote back
that I was doing very nicely for a
beginner but that I would have to
have perseverance as “Rome wasn’t
built in a day." In the meantime
they would be only too glad to
furnish me the unbleached muslin
squares at 50¢ per and the little
bottles of coloring at 250 per
bottle. I didn’t send for any more,
needless to say. Th could put‘

AWAY TO SCHOOL
Life on the farm is one struggle
after another; this same rule ap-

. only solution to this is the trying to
better our lives; but how? The
following editorial was written in
i one of the Chicago dailies and I am
,2 :giving it to you:

9 GOOD many boys and girls,
‘ along with their parents, are

struggling with the problem of
whether they are to go away to
3 school this fall. We think there is
only one solution. That is to go,
unless the financial burden, in addi-
’ tion to that already existing, is too
.great to bear. Attention is fre-
wquently called to the fact that the
boys who go away to school these
” days seldom if ever come back to
'the farm. In spite of that it is
Vb‘est for them to go. ‘There has
been lots of foolishness projected
Labout keeping the boys 0 the farm.
They should never be t there
unless they prefer farm life 0 any-
thing else. And if they are going
to the city to live by all means give
t-them a training that will help them
'to be successful. City life is hard
enough at best. It is drudgery for
the mail not able to do better than

, WOMEN'S EXCHANGE .

EAR FOLKS—During the last six ‘months since I have had this
department, I have received letters asking for help and suggestiOn

to aid the women on the farm to-either make money or how she might
obtain the things most desired. In taking this matter up with Mr.
Slocum, we have schemed out a plan to be used only for and by the

heading of “Women’s Exchange.” I want you to read it thru and know

from contact. with others. The
best that college training gives is
the ability to enjoy life, and to add
to the joy othersqfind in life. And
here is where parents come in. The
boy or the girl they send to college
will never cease to bless them. This
is the rule. There are exceptions to
it, and so there will be as long as
ingratitude is a trait of some hu-
man beings. But by and large there
is nothing parents can do for their
children that will mean more in
later years than providing the op-
portunity to go away to school.

College life is expensive now, 9.1-.

together too expensive. A lot of
unnecessary frills add to the ex-
pense, and not a few of them could
be eliminated. The selection of the
school is important. It should be
a school that provides a high stand-
ard of training, and real democracy
in student life, where a youngster
is accepted for what he is rather
than for what he wears,or has to
spend.

Sending boys and girls away to
school is no small problem, but
there is really little chance for a
mistake if. they are made up of the
right kind of timber-

MAKING MONEY AT HOME

If one is near a town of any size
flowers are good money makers. I
personally know a girl living out-
side Detroit and she raises all kinds
of cut flowers and makes beautiful
bouquets and sells them in the city.
She has built up a good trade, keep-
ing some of the Detroit oflices sup-
plied with fresh bouquets three
times a week. This idea might be of
help to some of our readers living
near the larger towns.

The following letter came to me
and it has a good suggestion for
making this extra money in a very
pleasant way.

ERY sorry indeed that I cannot

help the many farmers’ wives

by telling them of something
'definate they can do to make money.
I know many of them are needin
help in that direction. -

If the average woman had been
taught to love and know the grow-
ing things they could do so much
to help themselves when misfor-
tunes befall them. Some day we are
going to have an eduCational sys-
tem that will fit every boy and girl
when they enter manhood or wo-
manhood for the life that will bring
health, happiness and efficiency and
because our present one does not
do that we see human wrecks and
unhappy lives all around us.

I have an acre and a half of
peonies that help financially very
much. So many things one could
do if one only knew how.

So many of our home bureau
members are asking the same thing
for the farm home in the last few
years have felt keenly the low
prices of all farm products.

Hoping better times are coming
for all farmers, their wives and
daughters, I am Nora Burt Dunlap,
Roray Home, Savoy, Illinois.

 

 

Mothers Problems

 

 

THERE’S ALWAYS A REASON ’
ENRY ALBERT was naughty.
Yes, there .was not denying. it.
He .was 'as naughty as shuttle

boy could" bat: ~ e cried one: the
. le,~ll31mn~1-,L~'h ’ l '- '

   
  

  

   
 

  

 

he threw all his toys on the floor and
then lay down and kicked and be]-
lowed. His mother was exasperat-
ed. “Henry Albert,” she said, jerk-
ing him none too gently from the
floor, “I wish to goodness I knew
what ailed you! Every single day
at this time in the afternoon you
have one of these cranky spells!”
There was something ailed Henry
Albert. Do you know what it was?
The child needed a nap. He was
only two years old, but he had given
up naps some time ago—and h,‘e
still needed a nap after dinner, even
though he did rebell at taking one.
Every afternoon he was tired, and
that made him irritable. After he
had lain on the floor and kicked and
howled and whined for an hour,
more or less, he began to wake up.
and the last of the afternoon he
would be a very different boy.
Many time it is lack of sumcient
.sleep that will cause a child to have
periodic naughty spells. Again it is
an upset stomach—too much cake
and candy and too little milk and
vegetables. Proper feeding, with
perhaps a good dose of physio, will
overcome such spells of naughtiness.
Too much excitement is another
cause of naughtiness in little child—
ren. Being out late nights? taking
long auto rides, going to exciting
moving pictures, will tire even an

adult after a while; is it unreason-

able to expect that they will overtire
a child? '

A certain amount of naughtiness
crops out in any child, but when a
naughty dispositionseems to be com—
ing to the fore, look for the cause of
it. You will be pretty sure to find
that the child needs a nap or a dose
of physio, followed by a proper diet,
or a period of rest and quiet. There
is always some reason for such
naughty spells. Ferret them out—
and see your child’s happy nature
return!

TEE CHILDREN’S PETS

NEIGHBOR had given seven

year old Elizabeth 9. rabbit. It

was just a plain, ordinary rab-
bit, but it was the first pet of her
very own that Elizabeth had ever
had. She loved her Bunny!

But Elizabeth’s father thought
pets foolish things to have around,
eating up good food and bringing in
no return—in cash, at least. Once
the rabbit dug out of his pen and nib-
bled various vegetables in the gard-
en. rElizabeth's father scolded her
and told her she wouldn’t have that
rabbit if it did any more damage.
or course, it did get out again, one
day when Elizabeth was in school.
When she came home for dinner,
there was—rabbit—pie! Her father

~ had killed her Bunny!

Now there aren’t many parents so
heartless as to do a thing like that—
though Ithave met some who would!
e—but there are many who fail to
censider a child’s rights when ani-
mals or birds that have been given to
them are concerned.

Boy’s Club's have done a great
deal to show fathers chat when a

boy has been given a calf or a young

pig to raise, and he has raised it to
salable age the returns from it be-
long to the boy. "But no club yet
has shown a father that he has no

right to kill a boy’s dog without the-

boy’s sanction. , _

Personal Column

 

 

One Who Believes in Being Kind.—-Am
sending in my views on bobbed hair as
requested. , First. I will say I am :1 WO-
man who has lived nearly sixty years
and looking back over that time I can
remember several we'men who have worn
their hair cut short. and all have been
noble women, and have done their life's
work as well and better than many who
have kept their hair long. It seems to -
me that it. makes no diaerence in our '
character, whether we wear our hair long
,or short, but it would certainly give us
more time for our other work and be
much easier to keep clean and I for one
wish all women would adopt the style
of short hair. What do you say, sisters?
Who will be the first among us older
ones? Not so long ago I heard a man
and woman talking about bobbed haired
girls and they were very loud in their 3
denunciation of girls who wore their hair
that way. Well, I looked at the woman's '
head and it looked unclean and was un- '
becomingly combed, and the man’s hair
was sadly in need of a comb and cut.
and I thought if they would go home and ‘-
clean up their own heads they would not
have so much time to criticise young {
girls, so let us older ones he very sure l
that our own heads look all right and
don't judge the young folks by the way
they cut or comb their hair. You know
we are being judged the same as we
judge others and none of us would like
to be judged immoral because we did not
wear our hair just as someone thought
we should. So let us encourage and help
our young folks instead of criticising them
unkindly. Remember a good name is
better than riches and we have to give
others a good name if we ourselves wish
one. From one who lows and believes
in the virtue of our young people—L K.

 

There are Always Two Sides to a
Question.——Is it wrong to have bobbed
hair? I will tell you what I think. First,

.What are they doing it for; cleanliness.

No, it is for another purpose. Show of
course. Oh, how rude for a woman or
young lady to cut her hair. We were
taught it was a shame for a woman to
have short hair. Now they are not only
trying to take the place "of men, but to I
I do not admire the
bobbed hair or the half dresses.

If the only excuse I could give "for

.bobbed hair would be for little girls

where there is large families or in sick-
ness. But not any for sleeveless dresses.
I would like to hear what some good
living mothers honestly believe. I am
trying to bring my family up right.- I ‘
am the mother of seven girls and I like
all the good advice “I can get. We like
thesM. B. F. ‘

 

/

From One Who is Willing to Change.—
I am sending in a few words concerning ‘
bobbed hair. I think it is a wise idea,
not only for girls *in- their teens but for
women also, for comfort and time sav-
ing. How much more comfortable it
would be for all. We all know that
things have changed since mother was
a girl: some of those old folks think
girls and women of today should dress
as they did years ago, but we all know
things are bound to change and will. It
isn’t necessary to have puffs made of your
hair which was cut off for dress wear,
as it is just fine with just the ends
curled a little. You can' purchase bobbed
hair curlers with little expense which
answers very nicely, why wear puffs and
combs and make it more uncomfortable
than before your hair was cut. If you
have your hair cut for comfort, why not
have it that way. It looks fine when
you get used to [it and we all soon will.
So let us hope we will have'comfort. I
hope I did not write too much. We sure
enjoy the M. B. F.—-A Constant Reader.

 

A Mother's Grateful Thanks.—-We wish
to thank the M. B. F. readers for the
generous response to our call for pieces
and work. Also the M. B. F. and Mrs.
Taylor for getting our wishes before so
many people. I have written most of
you personally but in case I have missed \
anyone please believe it an oversight.

“The Flour the Best Cooks Use”

always has been a superior flour. For years we have guaran-
teed it to be the best flour you could buy. It was only natural
that when an improved system for making flour was evolved

Lily White should be improved.

By this new method the efliciency of the protein content of the
flour is increased 30%. This means free action of the yeast on 100%
of the flour instead of only 70% in making delicious breads.

Result of 25 years ’ effort

For a quarter of a century this process has been developing. Now
it is perfected. All we ask is that you try the new Lily White.

part of the fun your hostess has provided

Shippers of farm products _on the New York Central Lines
know from experience that the quality of railroad service is
of greater importance than the price.

Inadequate, ineficient freight service is dear at any price.
Rates that leave no margin of earnings on railroad invest-
ment dry up the sources of new capital, withoutwhich tin
carriers cannot provide the new equipment and facilities their
shippers must have.

This necessary margin of receipts above expenditures, so
vital to the life of the railroads, IS a small fraction of rail-

investment. But a reduction of 16% in the rates charged
in 1922 would have taken all this net.

The Congressional Joint Commission of Agricultural Inquiry
estimated that the average proportion of freight rates to the
value of goods married was 6%. If this were reduced to 5%,
a reduction so small that the consuming public would detect
no difference in living costs, most of our railroads would starve.
Living rates for the railroads—insuring healthy growth of
railroad facilities—are vital to agricultural prosperity.

O MANY have requested that we

have decided to start one with
this issue. I am ofigring thine pen-
cil boxes for the three besLdraflngs.
Each pencil bot contains four pencils
and a, penholder, things you, will

need when school starts, which in

most cases will be next week. Now

I will tell you about what to draw '

so pay close attention and be sure
that you understand before you make
your drawing.

September is the month of fairs in
Michigan, both county and state, and
nearly everyone 01 you will spend at
least one day at some fair during
this month so I have decided that
our pictures will be of something
that you saw at the fair. If VOILBee
two friends meet at the fair draw a
picture of how they looked to you
and send that, or if there were cer-
tain exhibits, such as a prize cow or
horse, appealed to you, draw a pic-
ture of that; maybe you went to a.
show and there was a fat boy that
you would like to send a picture of,
or you could draw 'a picture of the
horseshoe pitchers in action at your
fair. It matters not what you show
in your picture it it is something that
was at the fair.

There are a few rules that you
should remember and they are:
Each drawing must be in black and
white (no water colors); if you have
black ink trace the pencil lines in

-your drawings but if you haven’t

make your drawing with a pencil
only; drawings should be on a
smooth. white sheet of paper, no
lines or marks outside of those that
are a. part of the drawing; make
drawings not more than five inches
deep or wide; put name and address
on the back of the drawings.

The contest will close Saturday,-

He would have sold the hem of his

with blood, while Joanne struggled vainly

And John Aldous
knew that at last the end had come.
For there was no longer strength in his
arms, and there was something that was
like a, strange cramp in his fingers, while
the clutch at his own throat was turning

' the world black. His grip relaxed. His

hands fell limp. The last that he realized
was that Quads was over him, and that
he must be dying.

Then it was, as he lay within a final
second or two of death, no longer con—
scious of physical attack or of Joanne‘s
terrible cries, that a strange unforseen
thing occurred. Beyond the tepee a man
had risen from the earth. Me staggered
toward them, and it was from Marie flat

he poised himself. The knife rose: for
, a fraction of a second it trembled in mid-

nir. Then it descended. and eight inches
of steel went to the heart of Quade.’

And as DeBar turned and Staggered
toward Joanne and Marie, John Aldous
was sinking deeper and deeper into a
black and abysmal night.

CHAPTER m

In that chaotic night in which he was
drifting, light as a feather on the wind,

* John Aldous experienced neither pain nor

very. much of .the sense ’of life. And yet,
without seeing or feeling, he seemed to
be living. All was dead in him but that
last consciousness, which is almost the
spirit; he might have been dreaming,
and minutes, hours, or even years might
have passed in that dream. For a long
time he seemed to be sinking through
the blackness; and the something top-
ped him. without jar r shock, and he
was rising. He could hear nothing.

-There was a. wast silence about him, a

silence as deep and as unbroken as the
abysmal pit which he seemed to be
softly floating.

After a time Aldous felt himself sway—
ing and rocking. as though tossed gently
on the billows of a. sea. This was the
first thought that took shape in his strug-
gling brain—he was at sea; he was on a
ship in the heart of a black night, and
he was alone. He tried to call out, but
his tongue seemed gone. It seemed a
very long time before day broke, and
then it was a strange day. Little needles
of light prickled his eyes; silver strings
shot like flashes of weblike lightning
through the darkness, and after that he
saw for an instant a. Strange glare. It
was gone in one big, powderlike flash,
and he was in night again. These days
and nights seemed to follow one sonther
swiftly now, and the nights grew less
dark, and the days brighter. He was
conscious of sounds and bufletings, and
it was very hot.

He knew that it was MacDonald who

he saw the anxious face of Marie.

He tried to lift himself, and was
amazed to find that-he could not. Very
gently Joanne urged him back on his

of Joy. He obeyed her as he would have

He watched her as she went out of

Old Donald MacDonald seated himself
on the edge of the bunk. He looked down
at Aldous. chuckling in his beard; and
Aldous. with his bruised and swollen
face and half—open eyes. grinned like a
happy fiend.

Country’s normal beef production is
the .chief reason why American beef
is no longer an important source of

supply for Great Britain, says Chas.‘

J.‘ Brand, marketing specialist for
the Department of Agriculture, who
recently studied the meat trade sit-
uation in Europe. Another factor
working against an increase in our
beef exports, he declares, is the low-
er cost of beef production in coun-
tries like Argentina which are still
in the pioneer stage. ‘

Mr. Brand points out that from
1891 to 1921 the human population
of the United States increased from
62,948,000 to 107,833,000, while
the number of cattle in the country
increased only from 51,363,572, to
66,652,559. It is thus obvious that
the growth in population has absorb-
ed the lncreased beef production
and the same is true of mutton. Our
increased production and exports of
beef during the war proved, accord—
ing to Mr. Brand, that given the
stimulous of. a profitable market the
American livestock grower can and
will quickly expand his beef output,
but many factors are at present di-
minishing his incentive to do 80.

Among these factors the most im-

portant, in Mr. Brand’s opinion, is
the relatively high cost of beef pro-
duction in the United States compar-
ed with its cost in countries now in
the pioneer stage. This fact, he
says, has convinced the meat; trade
of Great Britain that the future will
see greater and greater productiofi
in Argentina, until the supply from
that country overshadows that from
any other source. Next in import-
anca as sources of additional sup-
plies are Austrailia and New Zea-
land. .
At the present time the United
States is almost exactly self-suffici-
ent in the matter of its beef supply.
As the country becomes more indus-
trial, home consumption Will be in-
creased. Whetherin that case the
livestock grower will have any
strong motive to engage in competi-
tion for the export trade Will be de-
termined, says Mr. Brand, by many
factors, among which he cites the
possibility of more efficient beef pro-
duction methods coming into use,
the younger age at which beef cattle
are now slaughtered, and the rela-
tion of the dairy industry to cattle
raising generally.

As an exporter of pork and pork
products, the United States is likely
to retain its pre-eminence for many
years, Mr. Brand says. He believes,
however, that with the rehabilitation

of agriculture in Europe, our exports '

of these commodities, which have
been very large in the last few years,
will be adjusted to past-war condi-
tions. Average shipments of Amer-
ican pork and pork products to the
United Kingdom trom 1910 to 1914
were about 450,000,000 pounds. In
1919 the total was 1,369,000,000
pounds, while in the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, 1922, the shipments
were 676,000,000 pounds. Some
modifications of these' figures are to
be looked for, Mr. Brand says, but
energetic trade development work
will greatly minimize reduction.

MICHIGAN'S HIGH COW IN
TESTING WORK

R. E. M. STEWART, Inkster,
Michigan, had the high cow in
both milk and butterfat pro-
duction in Michigan Cow Testing
Association work. This cow, Detroit
Pontiac Pietertje No. 391047, made
20,548 pounds of milk and 663.4
pounds of fat for the cow testing

 

association year in Wayne County.

C. T. A., according to Mr. J. H. Math-
lesen, cow tester. Mr. Mathiesen
mentions that this cow was milked
four times daily‘for five months of
her lactation period and three times
daily for five months. She was dry
tor two months. .

Detroit Pontiac Pietertjo consumed
durin her year’s record 12,336

with four purebred JerSeys, averaged
10.066 pounds of milk and 531
pounds of butterfat. Mr. Atwater
has, for a number of years, been
very carefully breeding up a. small
but high-class herd of Jerseys. The
results that he has obtained, indicate
the success of geod feeding and

breeders were closing out their
herds but he advised all those pres-

ent to stick. Mr. Harper made twa”

significant statements ' in closing;
one, that on. his farm the only pay-
ing things were" cows, hens, and
sheep, and the other that old men
were largely running the farms
with few young men taking up ag-
riculture. Both these conditions
seemed to him to be 1minous for
the tuture- James Wells was next
introduced and he described the it-
inerary of the group of aflicials

present on. the Jacksr 1 county tour. -

W. B. Bursa, Secretary or the Jack-
son County Fair Association, was
introduced and invited the breeders
to begin preparing their exhibits
for the coming fair.

National Official a Speaker

The last speaker was 0'. M. Long
of Chicago, manager of field work
for the National Holstein Associa-
tionpwho jolted the party at Ley-
tm's Corners. Mr. Long has Just
returned from a six weeks’ trip
through the West, and said that
dairy farming is rapidly becoming
very popular in that section. He
spoke of the great opportunity for
Michigan Holstein breeders in the
West as the dairymen there must
have eastern cattle to start their
herds. According to this maker,
Wisconsin breeders have advertised
extensively in such states as Idaho
and Utah, but Michigan has failed
in this line in the past. As means
for procuring publicity, Mr. Long.
re'tommendod a dairy train to tour
the western field, the sending of alt
Holstein news to the Associated
Press, the use of pictures of the.
true-type Holstein bull and cow, in
advertising matter. He particular»
1y stressed the importance of the
fair exhibit.

Immediately following the pro-
gram, the Bretherton herd was in—-
enacted. There are thirty—five head
in this herd, half of which are
pure-bred. The next point on the
tour was the farm of E. R. Perrine
in Rives township. A pure—bred
bull, one and one-half years old,
attracted special attention. Nine
men of the Rives Holstein Associa-
tion bought this bull at Howell and
gave Rives the honor of having the
first association bull in the county.
There are fifteen pure— —hred females
in the Perrine herd giving an aver-
age of 385 pounds of butterfiat tor
a. lactation period. As a recogni—
tion oi the work of the Rives As-
sociation in promoting Holstein
raising, a committee consisting of
E. R. Perrlne, W. S. Wood, and Ben
Smith was appointed to begin im—
mediate selection of a: Holstein ex-
hibit for the Jackson county fair.
These men are all in the Rives As-
societies.

The party next stopped at the
Darling and- Behm farm in Tomp—
kins township, where. there are
twenty — eight pure-bred Holsteins.
Here, W. S. Wood was elected an
honorary member of the County
Holstein AssOciation, although main—
ly a shorthorn breeder. Mr. Wood is
a fair director and has been very

prominent among Jackson county’

breeders.

0n the way back to Jackson, the
farm of Ben Smith, in Rives Town-
ship was visited. Mr. Smith has six
pure-bred Holsteins, five "of whom
are descended from the same burl.
His herd averaged 10,247 pounds
or. milk and 341.6 pounds of but—
ter-lat for the last lactation period
(about a year) and his cows have

These groups of stockholders illustrate the rapid growth in ownership of the Bell System.

A Community of Owners Nation-wide

“Who owns the company?" "What is behind it?”
. ‘ These questions are asked in appraising the soundness of a
business and in determining its aims.

The. American Telephone and Telegraph Company is
owned by more than 270,000 people living in every state
in the Union. Could the stockholders of the Bizll System
be gathered to one place, they would equal the population
of a city about the size of Providence or Denver.

They constitute a representative cross-section of American
citizenship. Among them, of course, are bankers andmen
of large affairs; for the idea of ownership in the Bell
System appeals to sound business judgment and a trained
sense of values.

In this community of owners are the average man and
woman, the storekeeper, the clerk, the salesman, the pro-
fessional man, the farmer and the housewife—users of the
telephone who with their savings have purchased a share
in its ownership. The average individual holding is but
twenty-six shares.

No institution is more popularly owned than the Bell
System, none has its shares distributed more widely. In
the truest sense it is owned by those it serves.

GOSLINGS NEED. GOOD PASTUBE

I would like to know. if you can
tell me what ailed my goslings last
spring. They grew and seemed to

‘be all right until they were about

ten days old when they began to
stand humped up and their wings
drooped. Inside of a day or day
and a half they died. Their appe-
tite was'good until‘about 24 hours
before they died. I fed them grass,
bread and milk, boiled eggs and oat-
meal and gave them fresh water to
drink. I gave castor oil to some of
them but it did not save them and
greased them for lice but it did no
good either. I fed them a small
amount of feed four times a day.
By the time they were two weeks old
they were all dead. Last year I
lost the last eighteen that I hatched
out. This year I lost three out of
seven—Mrs. A. W., St. Louis, Mich.
—From the symptoms given, I am
of the opinion that the goslings were
denied the range conditions neces-
sary for growth and development.
The intimation that grass was sup-
plied in the ration leads me to con—
clude that the goslings were confined
in bare runs or that little pasture
was available. Poultrymen ordin-
arily consider that the rearing of
geese or ducks is quite a simple
practice because they are less sus-
ceptable to dietary disturbances, dis-
eases, and internal parasites, as com-
pared with chicks.

The essential requirements for
rearing gosllngs are, plenty of shade
and good pasture. The feeding
method may consist of a moistened
mash containing rolled oats, corn
meal, bran, mlddlings, and moisten-
ed with either skim milk or water.
This should be fed about three times
daily until the goslings are nearly
feathered; After they are feather-
ed whole or cracked grain can be
given. A soft feed should form the
basis of the ration during the grow-
ing period.

I can understand how gosllngs
would show a. lack of ambition and
stunted growth it confined in bare
runs and yards. Under such condi-
tions it would be almost impossible
to induce a normal growth and und-
er such conditions a. rather high
mortality is almost certain to pre-
vai1.—-—E. C. Foreman, Asso. Prof. of
Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C.

DUCKS SUFFERING FROM SUN-
STROKE

I wish you could tell me what is
the trouble with my young ducks.
They will draw their head around
under them and fall over backwards
and .their heads will turn clear
around and they can not stand up.
When they first are taken they will
turn their heads up sideways. They

~The symptoms which you have
described as ettecting your ducklings
are characteristic of the symptoms
induced by sun stroke. Thousands
of ducks are lost each year due to
sunstroke and these losses seem to
occur very suddenly.

As far as possible, the duck range
should be located in a well shaded
pasture and the drinking water
should be given in utensils of suf-
ficient depth to permit the duck to
entirely submerge the head. This is
their only method of keeping the
eyes and nostrils clean, which of
course is necessary in the mainten-
ance of health.

The young ducklings should be
fed wet mashes only until they are
almost completely feathered after

HANGING TIMEQ

THE Dl‘EIRE FOR SOCIAL
APPROVAL

HE instigatlng, psychological ex-
planation of that great town
game you’ve perhaps heard of~——
"Keeping up with the Joneses”-—-ls
what the psychologists have termed,
“The desire for social approval.”
Human beings instinctively want to
have the apprbval and goodwill of
the people around them. The in-
stinct of Self-preservation is probably
at the root of the desire.

In the caveman days, if the rest of
the tribe didn’t like. a special indi-
vidual, they severally took a stone
hatchet to_ him. ,

It is human, accordingly, and it
one time in racial history it was ex-
ceedingly wise, to want to have the
favorable opinion of one’s fellows.
In standard of living, dress, man-
ners, autOmobiles, and thousands of
things, modern people, in their buy-
ing and conduct, are actuated to an
extent by an instinctive desire to win
social approval.

Right at present—the current
trend only goes back a very few
years—something big is happening
to the desire for social approval in
the farming country. This fact always
has been true—the closer together
you get people, the stronger motivat-
ing force becomes the social approv-
al desire. In cities, it often moves
{pédple to redlculous lengths. Go in-
to mountain country, many miles
from the railroad, and, considering
the people, you might feel that a
more powerful social approval resire
would be a. good thing. There are

 

many things, usually, that“ the lone ,

prospector could gain from stimulat-
ing contact with the world.

On the farm, desire for social ap-
proval never has been a. force which
drove families to undue lengths for
the sake of “appearances ” That
has been one aspect of the great
thing we call farm independence. I
notice this nowadays markedly. Not
in an’ undue manner, farm folks are
getting to have greater interest in
appearances than they used to have.

The causes, I believe, are partly
eco omlc and partly psychological.
Th automobile is bringing com-
munities into closer contact than
they used to be, for one thing; the
social approval desire tends to be
stimulated somewhat. Then we
have the second Condition—greater
farm buying power. Farmers can
indulge desires in many directions
closed to them a few decades ago.

WE STOPPED “HERDING SHEEP”
HE pleasant man by the side of
the road—I had asked direc-

tions to Wildcat Creek—had‘

told me the way three times, through
two cross roads and three turns. I
looked unconvinced ' still—from past
sad experience with a. memory none
too good for many corners and turns.

“0, Shucks,” said the stranger
finally, “I’ve been herding sheep.
Get down with me!"

I got down with him” while in the
dirt of the road he sketched a quick
road map. "You do this—and this

—and this—and this—" he said. In-

stantly I knew the way.

_A lot of us, ,I believe, waste much
time in giving verbal directions,
when a diagram in dirt or on paper
would convey our ideafar better and
for quicker.

One of my good friends, Johnny
Peebles, of Mule Valley Farm, goes
far with the idea. Something goes

WM. _ .._.___.__.1_._

 

, b ‘, passed September 22,
.2, is 32. 20 a hundred pounds
against all raw sugar except that
;coming from Cuba, which is allowed
a. reduction of 20 per cent; making
the tariff $1. 76 per hundred pounds.

The Fordney-McCumber Bill only

increased the tariff sixteen cents a

. ' hundred .pounds. f

The little 20 per cent reduction
effectually prevents any foreign sug-
ar outside of that coming from Cuba
being sold in this country. It is a
.protective tariff for Ouba.

These are the facts we all should

. know before we can judge of what

caused the increase in sugar prices
in February of this year.

Let us return now to the condi-
tions governing production of sug-
ar in this country during last year.

At the beginning of 1922 the
Fordney-McCumber tariff bill was
before the United States Senate, the

3 price of sugar was down to less than

five cents per pound. The price the
beet sugar factories could pay the
farmers for their beets grown in
1922 depended upon sugar prices.

‘If the price of sugar remained low.

the farmer’s returns would be great-
ly affected by the tariff.

1' Because of the low price‘ and the
uncertainty of what the new tariff
would offer the beet sugar factories
delayed just as long as they could
offering a contract to the farmer.

Contract Price Too Low

When this contract did not come
out it offered a guarantee of $5.00 a
ton for beets grown during 1922.
This was not enough to meet the
competition of other crops for pos-
session of the land consequently a
very small crop of beet sugar was
grown during 1922. For like reas-
ons and because of his inability to
obtain money to finance his plant-
ings duevto’ low price of sugar, the
sugar grower of Louisiana also had
a small crop.

In the fall and winter of 1922— 23
the American grown sugar was
quickly sold and eaten; it was prac-
rticallly all gone by the middle of
February\or 'the first of March.

All the sugar we now get, until
sugar grown on American farms dur-
ing the summer of 1923 comes on
the market in October of this yea1,
will be from Cuba.

It is significant that prices ad-
vanced rapidly after the beet sugar
was gone on the first excuse that
could be offered, which happened to
be the report issued by the Depart-
ment of Commerce. American farm-
ers and American sugar companies
did not profit by the high price now
prevailing.

They have always contended their
industry, although at the present
time only producing 20 to 25 per
per cent of our needs, kept the price
down while they had sugar to sell.

Those who gain from these high
prices are those who have the suge
ar on hand.
refining companies come in.

The sugar that has produced for-
tunesqfor its owners is all in Cuba.
Fifty-three per cent of the total out-
put of sugar grown in Cuba in 1921
was extracted by mills owned by
Americans.

Of these eighty—five factories,
forty-nine producing 2,331,000 tons
were owned outright or by interlock-
ing oificers or directors of the sugar
refining companies of the Atlantic
seaboard. .

The other thirty-five factories in-
dependently owned only produced
786,000 tons.

There are nine refining companies
on the Atlantic seaboard handling
almost exclusively Cuban sugar; six
of these refining cempanies own
these forty-nine sugar companies op-
erating in Cuba.

Because all sugar destined for

‘ American consumption must come
,through there Atlantic
they have a tremendous control over

refineries
all the sugar coming into this coun—

ft is easy to see who gained by this

.jjsu‘dden increase in the price of sug-.
. ,ar

Through the publicity organiza-
these refiners maintain, they
itemrpted to charge the tariff
cause of this increase.
‘1" McCumber
ber 2,1922.

' l was only sixteen cents a

 

  

- ”hundred pounds.

 

To maintain that an increase oc-

, curring five months after of nearly

$3. 00 a hundred pounds was caused

by" this slight increase in the tariff is

certainly the heighth of absurdity.

Any child would know 'better, yet
this was swallowed whole by some
who wish us to believe that they
wrote intelligent (1’) editorials on
the subject.

All the interviews and arguments
placed before the American people
having as a basis the elimination or

reduction of the tariff means a pro— .

posal for the destruction of 1,300,
000 tons of American grown sugar.
'How this would reduce the price of
sugar is beyond the comprehension
of ordinary sensible people. This
might be replaced by the cheaper
grown sugar from Cuba, but this

'does not mean any cheaper sugar

to the American consumer as our
experience at the present time and
during 1920, when all the sugar we
are going to get is in their hands,
has so clearly demonstrated.

We would by this method place
ourselves regarding our supply of

, sugar in the same position we are in

regarding rubber.

Because we suddenly find that

tions and can charge us what she

we can be free from this intolerable .

position of being dependent upon an-
other country and having to pay
what she dictates. The American
people are not ready to place them-
selves in this position regarding
their sugar bill.

Why should we go out of our
country to buy one ounce of sugar?
The American farmer can grow

every particle we need and we would .

rather trust the beet farmer of the
North, and the' cane grower of Louis-
iana and the thirty-four independ—
ent beet sugar factories who are not
afiiliated with or controlled by any
trust or refinery for our sugar at
reasonable prices than we would the
present foreign control who are mak—
ing fortunes off of us at the present
time.

It gloomy stories about the down

then that he is able to keep on pro-

out the corn belt and other agricul-
tural states of the union who are
totally oblivion-s of the fact that they
have failed in business. It is true
that certain agricultural commodities
have recently lost money and special-
ization has been a risky practice.
But diversified farming has generally
yielded good profits to the farmer.

der houses and larger output of auto-

centage of which business represents

ness of the American farmer is on
a healthy basis and there is little

agricultural community in general
being seriously impaired.

The great majority of our people
are employed and are making good
money. However, there is a general
tendency to use a streak of economy
in buying, this being the result of
the lessons learned during the boom
in 1920. Most businesses are carried
on with a bit of cautiousncss which
only goes to put the country on a
sounder footing. According to re-
ports from the Department of Labor

wages before the war and only $2.72

At the‘poak of 1920 our dollar
. was worth but 40.5 cents but today
it has the buying power of more than
fifty per cent in excess over the 1920
dollar and at the same time wages
are practically as high as they ever

erally below what they were three
years ago and indications point to-
ward fm'thor reduction allthe time.
A settlement in European affairs
would certainly be a good tonic to

doubtedly will show further strength
although sharp upturns are not ex-

practically all harvested and prices-

are above the $1.00 mark with Chi-
cago September wheat at $102113
and No. 1 Hard up to $10815. Much
is talked about creating a wider for-
eign outlet for the cereal. Exports
in 1922 were four timesas large as
they were prior to the war and while
foreign credit and money is not able
to take as much as they need this
year, exports are not expected to fall
off materially.

The infamous cotton pest of the

Dixie from halts. million’to a billion

recently sensational advances have
carried prices to new high lem at
Chicago since 1.920. Contact grades
of corn have reached 991: at least
with No. 2 yellow making, 92': this
week. Outside points also report
higher markets on com. Oats are
in a strong position and most gains
are in fairlyheadthy shape.

Hogs and Cattle at New High Level

Reflecting general industrial im.
provement, consumptive demand for
meats has been broad during the
past week or two and prices for live
stock have been on the upgrade for
several weeks. Hogs and cattle are

. at new high levels for the year to

date and predictions are general that
they have "farther to go before the
year-ls peak will have been reached.
While hogs have been losing money
for the farmer during past months,
they are making a little now and
cattle have been profitable to feeders
throughout the year. At present

from $3.00 to $6.00 margins over'

initial costs are general for feeders
to realize when they see their steers
going to the scales. Countrymen
are clamoring for thin lambs to go
on the pastures this fall and at pres-
out are paying more for lambs of
feeding flesh and killers are willing
to pay for fat lambs. A buoyant
undertone prevails generally in the
live stock trade.

On August 6th, the $12.00 steer
made his appearance at Chicago and
this week they sold at $13.00 show-
ing a. fell $1.00 gain in less than
three weeks. Top cattle one within
.501: of the pwical limit last Octo-
ber and at pment are selling $2.00
above tops 3. year ago. Only a few
finished heavy steers are eligible to
these high figures they show what
killers are willing to pay for strictly
choice cattle. There is a general
report of scarcity of finished beeves
through-out the corn belt and the
premium they command over short-
iied cattle will undoubtedly stim-
ulate feeders to ripen their stock
more thoroughly before marketing
them. Predictions of traders at the
Chicago Yards are that $14.00 steers
will be here before many more weeks
and some are even willing to risk
money on $15.00 "cattle before the
year is over. The largest percentage
of cattle coming consist of young
stock of medium good grades. Only

choice and prime steers are setting .

$10. 00 hogs before many weeks at
Chicago. A year ago top hogs were
selling at $9. 70. The average price
of hogs during the week ended Aug—
ust 25, was $8.10 the highest since
last April. ‘- The market has gained
$1.45 since the low time six weeks
ago. A range of from $6 00 to
$9. 30 represented hogs late this
week, common heavy packing sows
bringing ‘ the former figure with
choice lights the latter. Stronger
markets on hogs and grain have
been factors in advancing the lard
market and recently August lard

tainly have faith in the future lamb

URING the early part of this

week in Michigan the weather

will be generally fair and sun—
shiny ' with , clear, starlight nights.
About Tuesday
storm conditions will start the
temperatures upward. By the mid-
dle part oi the week residents of
this state may expect the usual late
summer type of weather; that is.
light showers and probably thunder
and lightening.

These omens will last but a
couple of Illa. About hwy
the temperature will begin a rapid
decent and continue on a downward
trend to the end 01 the week at
which thus quite unseasonably cool
weather will settle into niost parts
of the state. A

Light to heavy frosts may be ex—
pected in numerous counties
throughout the northern part of the
state near the close of this week.

Week of September 9

High winds and locally heavy
rains’ will open up this week tollow-
ed about Monday with an appreci-
