What About the Proposed State Income Tax? g~

Farm Organizations Endorse Proposed Income Tax for Michigan Believing It will Help Remove
Burden From Shoulders of Overtaxed Farmer

f DAM Smith, the. great economist,
‘ in his classic work, “The
Wealth of Nations” lays down
the following as one of the funda-
mental principles of equitable and
sound taxation:
« “The subjects of every state
ought to contribute toward the sup-
port at the government as nearly as
possible in proportion to their re-
spective abilities."

Mr. Smith evidently realises that
even though we practice the utmost
governmental economy, we shall
still be confronted with the neces-
sity of raising large "amounts to pro-
vide funds for all the various activ-
ities which people are today do-
mand-ing of government. But the
significant feature of this principle
which he. lays. down is that the is-
sue of first importance is to secure a
fair distribution of the tax burden.

As pointed out in the first article
in this series, our present system of
taxation in Michigan is not securing
any such desirable condition. The
general property tax as applied to-
day in our state is so hopelessly out-
grown that real, mm, which con-
stitutes but 35 per cent of the total
wealth of Michigan, is paying 80 per
cent of the total taxes, while the
other 65 per cent of our wealth es-
capes with but 20 per cent of the
tax load. This situation is obvious-
ly uniair.

Taxes and Cithenship

Citizens of a republic should ex-
pect to pay directly toward the sup-
port of their government. It is a
duty which is an important part of
their obligation as citizens. As
Professor Seligman of Columbia Un—
iversity has so well said, “Taxation
should be regarded as a contribu-
tion cheerfully rendered by those
who are alive to the sense of collect-
ive responsibility implicit in the very
conception of democracy." And this
leads us to remark in passing that
this is certainly a noble sentiment,
but unless taxation is fairly and
equitably levied in such a way as to
secure a just distribution of— the tax
burden how can we regard our pres-
ent oppressive general property tax
as a contribution cheerfully render—
ed by us as loyal citizens?

It seems quite evident that the
purpose of taxation should not be
either to punish or benefit any par-
ticular class or individual, but to
provide revenue for the conduct of
our various governmental units and
activities. When a situation devel~
ops such'that any one class of our
citizenship is paying a dispropor-
tionate share of the load it is high

time that a reform should be sub~_

stituted to bring our method of tax-
ation up to date and make it meet
present conditions with a reasonable
degree of justice.
Antiquated Tax

Year by year the cost of govern-
ment increases but we have failed
to put into effect new systems of
raising the necessary revenue. he
result is, as we all know, that today
Michigan realestate is laboring un-
der an excessive burden of general
property tax. This condition is not
confined to Michigan alone for sta-
tistics reveal that the taxes which
the farmers in United States paid in
1922 amounted to a larger sum of
money than the total net income of
the farms of the United States for
that year. Both theory and history
reveal that this is indeed a very un-
desirable and unfortunate condition.

The power to tax carries with it
the power to destroy. When taxes

By STANLEY M. POWELL

(Lansing Correspondaxt of The Business Farmer.)

 

 

 

this and the previous article of this series by Mr. Powell some

(ll-unite- lac-ts and figures have been presented which challenge the
attention of every thinking citizen of Michigan.

The rapid increase in the tax burden and the fact that this in-
m in taxation has greatly exceeded the increase in the valuation
of property owned for taxes in Michigan have been pointed out. A
rapidly advancing rate of taxation has been the Lnevitable result.

It has been shown that the burden on the general property of the
state has become too great to be borne and that consequently there
is a constantly increasing proportion of the total tax being returned

each year.

It is also regarded as very significant that despite this rapid and
unbearable increase in general property tax, the bonded indebtedness
of the State and its local units has been continually mounting, in-
creasing 830 per cent in the ten years from 1911 to 1921.

A personal income tax to largely or entirely replace the general
property tax for state purposes has been advanced as.a logical step

h the solution of these perplexing problems.

It has been shown that

the revenue to be raised by the proposed amendment outlined in this
article, if properly administered, should be entirely adequate, supple-
mented by existing and contemplated specific taxes, to take care of

the financial needs of the state.

It has also been pointed out how the enactment of the proposed
measure might logically be expected to result in economy ‘in local ap-
propriations and expenditures without encouraging extravagcnce in
late expenditures and appropriations. But best of all it would be a
big step toward equalizing the tax burden in Michigan. ' Watch for

the article on the gas tax.
series.

It will be the next or third article of the

 

 

tin class of our citizens, but there
is a limit to even their patience and
there are those who fear that Mich—
igan farmers may develop Red tend-
encies unless some immediate and
substantial relief is secured.

One of the most aggravating fea-
tures of the situation is that it is
as unnecessary as it is undesirable.
Under a fair distribution of the bur—
den in Michigan, there would be no
necessity for so much misery and
distress as results under the present
system. Because of its recent in-
dustrial development,_ Michigan is
today one of the richest and most

~ prosperous states in the union. Fig-

ures just released! by the federal
Department of Commerce show that
Michigan’s wealth more than doubl-
ed in the ten year period from Dec.
31, 1912 to Dec. 31, 1922, increas-
ing from $5,233,760,000 to $11,-
340,150,000. This was a growth of
116.7 per cent. During this period
the per capita wealth increased from
$1,806 in 1912 to $2,883 in 1922., or
592.6 per cent. The big trouble to-
day is that much of this new wealth
is not on the tax rolls or helping in
any way to bear its fair proportion—
ate share of the burden.
What Is the Remedy?

Various remedies have been ad-
vocated to meet the undesirable tax
situation which has developed in
Michigan. during the past decade.
The remedy which appears to be the
most logical and to meet with the
greatest amount of popular favor is
the suggestion for a state income
tax, which should be so devised that
it will raise enough revenue so that
taken with the present specific taxes
it will be ample for all of the needs
of the state and thus entirely re-
place the general property tax for
state purposes.

Michigan farm organizations have
been outspoken in their endorse-
ment of this idea. Just now they
are all cooperating to secure the
necessary signature to an initatory
petition so that a constitutional
amendment providing for a. state
income tax will be placed upon the
ballot at' the. regular fall election
in 19-24. ,- ,

Under the terms of the proposed
tax, die (lust $4,000 from every m-
come'will be. my! tram this form

of taxation. This is not because of

any desire to secure class legisla-

tion, but is prompted by the feeling

that the little fellows are already

paying far more than their share.
To Give Real Relief

The petition definitely provides,

that all funds raised by the propos—
ed tax would be deducted from the
amount which would otherwise be
raised by the general property tax
for state purposes. The balance, if
any, would constitute the state tax.
This gives definite assurance that
this will not be merely a new means
of providing added revenue for state
officials to spend, but that it will
afford real, genuine taxation relief
to overburdened real estate.

If sufficient signatures are secur-
ed. the proposed amendment will be
placed on the ballot at the regular
fall election in 1924. In brief, its
provision will be as follows:

1. $4,000 of all incomes shall be
exempt.

2. Incomes from $4,000 to $20,-
000 shall be taxed 5 per cent.

3. Incomes from $20,000 to
$40,000 shall be taxed 6 per cent.

4. Incomes from $40,000 to
$60,000 shall be taxed 7 per cent.

5. Incomes from $60,000 to
$80,000 shall be taxed 8 per cent.

6. Incomes from $80,000 to
$100,000 shall be taxed 9 per cent.

7. Incomes above $100,000 shall
be taxed 10 per cent.

All funds derived from this pro—
posed tax shall be turned into the
general fund of the stateand shall
be used in defraying general ex—
pense and bonded indebtedness and
interest.

Who Would Benefit?

It might be interesting to note
how the relief from general proper-
ty taxation proposed by this consti-
tutional amendment would be divid-
ed among Michigan tax payers. In
1921 the general property tax for
state purposes was borne by the
various classes of our citizenship as

follows:

Corporations of State paid ........ $5,625,000
Other City Property paid ........... 7,275,000,
Villages of State paid ................ 1,550,000.
Townships Outside Villages paid 0,000,000

-T0'1‘AL.........., ....... $20,450,000
These amounts, thereiore, repres-

ent the division of/the relief which

would be afforded by a state income
tax law to replace a general proper-
ty tax for state purposes.

Thus it is plain to see that the
proposed constitutional amendment
would shift the big burden of state
support from the property owners
who are already overtaxed to thous-
ands of individuals who, while prob—
ably owning little or no taxable
property, still have healthy incomes
and might well help support the
state whose protection they enjoy.
This is not a measure to benefit any
one class of people, but to shift the
burden of supporting the state gov-
ernment from the field of tangible
property to another basis, that of
net personal incomes.

There are thousands of profes-
sional men, physicians, dentists.
lawyers, teachers, and salesmen
whose personal income, and bond-
holders, mortgage holders, etc..
whose net intangible property in—
come (and their ability to ply
taxes) has no relation whatever to
the amount of land, real estate or
assessed personal property which
they possess. Inasmuch as there
are many millions and probably bil-
lions of dollars of property in Mich-
igan which yields a very good in~
come paying no tax today, or at
least none of any consequence.
shouldn’t such property bear a reas-
onable portion of this burden?

The proposed tax seems well
adapted to distributing the state,
tax burden automatically in propor-
tion to the individual’s ability to
pay.

Collection Easy and (lineup

The idea of a state income tax is
neither new nor radical and vision-
ary. Fourteen other states already
have similar laws in successful op‘
eration. Experience in these states
shows that the percentage of collec—
tion is high and the cost of collec-
tion is low. New York not only has
a personal income tax and a corpor-
ation income tax, but has a corpora-
tion license fee as well. Through
these three taxes they raised $86,-
711,000 in 1922 and collected it at
a cost of but 1.2 percent. Massa-
chusetts has a state income tax
which applies only to interest earn-
ings, yet under this system they col-
lected $17,000,000 at a cost of 2%
per cent. These illustrations might
be multiplied by quoting from the
experience of the dozen other states
which have state income tax laws.

Perhaps the ease of collecting on
income tax is due to fact that it nev-
er hits a person who is not able to
pay. It is automatic. If misfor-
tune of any nature afflicts an indi- -
vidual, his tax is under the income
tax system immediately drops 08.
If sudden prosperity comes along.
the income tax automatically takes
advantage of this increased tax-pay—
ing ability. This quality of flexi-
bility is wholly lacking in the pres-
ent gener‘al property tax. It is re—,
lentless in its action and annually ‘
takes its toll from the defenseless
holder of real estate, regardless of
whether or not that property has
produced a profit or a loss during
the year.

Can It Be Passed On?

No matter how cunningly devised
any system of taxation may be, it is
always human nature to attempt to .
pass it on and make the ultimate
consumer pay. This is quite p06-
sible with most forms of taxation,
but extremely difficult under the:
personal income tax, such as labe-
ing proposed for Michigan._ It” is,
paid out of net incomes after-the
year's business has been .
and the books closed. There is‘ne
way to get around it. Nor do“
fear that the proposed modem“.

cause the sides of the beard have
little teeth, known as barbs.

Be careful to make 'this distinc-
tion between barbs and beards.
There is no use trying to grow a
beardless variety of barley under
Michigan conditions. It will pro-
duce only about half as many bush—
els of barley to the acre. This has
been tried out again and again at
M. A. C. There is no use for you
to try an experiment of this kind.
Barley must have beards. All bar-
leys will be barbless as soon as the
breeding work can produce white
high yielding barbless varieties, and
they can be distributed long enough
to become known. This process is
on the way, but remains for the fu-
ture.

'l‘his pit-ture was taken in the spring of 1912. These two winter barleys grew in a

wheat varietal series. Just note how the whents were killed out on either side.

The winter of 1911-12 was exceptionally hard. The plat to the left showing a full

stand is the variety that has since been known as the Michigan “'inier. It came
from a single seed planted in the full of 1909.

selected in 1913. The progeny of
the plant after being increased was
tested out in comparison with sev-
eral progenies of the same kind and
it was selected as the best one for
distribution in 1918. This is not
quite as good a yielder as certain
old fashioned barbed sorts, but
many farmers have preferred it be-
cause it is smooth. These beards are
no more disagreeable to handle than
the straw. ‘They are perfectly
smooth, so that you can rub one of

them back and forth on your cheek

without harm or discomfort.

Mr. Maystead, a farmer in Hills-
dal‘e County who got some of this
barley, the first‘year that it was dis-
tributed, tells his experience at
harvest time. The barley had been
cut and rained upon before it was
shocked. His 'hired man had left
him and a neighbor who was pass-
ing, caught him carrying two
bundles of barley under each arm
as he gathered it to be shocked. So
the neighbor said: “Say, Maystead,
I always thought you were crazy.
Now I know you are.” Maystead
stopped work and told his neighbor
to hop over the fence and see that
no harm could come from so handl-
ing that barley. The neighbor did

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
has produced a good barley that is
known in Michigan as the Wisconsin
Pedigree. The Michigan Crop Im—

supply of this barley that has been
kept pure, and is available to people
who wish to take advantage of the
greater production that can be ob—
tained from improved varieties.

Now, some one will be interested

in a joke. We take it as such. It ‘

illustrates personal preferences
among farmers. In 1918 when the
Michigan Black Barbless was dis-
tributed, a white two-rowed barley
known as the Michigan—2-Row was
also distributed. This Michigan—2-
Row had averaged from 20% to
25% more bushels per acre than the
Wisconsin Pedigree on the plats at
M. A. C. They are both barbed bar-
leys and therefor alike On that point.

in embryo. Many cows either ”go
dry” or are turned dry before fresh—
ening but are not fed sufficiently

‘ during this period. The average man‘

figures that she doesn’t require much
and consequently turns her on a
poor pasture and in many cases turns
her to a stalk field in the winter to
shift for herself. This method of
treatment is the cause of many calves
being born prematurely, or if car-
ried full time they are in an ex—
tremely weakened condition when
born. The ration at this time for
the cow should consist first of all of
an abundance of good pasture in
summer, pasture with plenty of le—
gumes, and alfalfa, clover or other
legume hay in the winter. In the
growth and development of the foet—
us a considerable amount of mineral
matter is required to build the frame
work. The legume hays contain an
abundance of this material, but some
of the common feeds, such as tim-
othy hay, straw, etc., are very defi—
cient. While these latter feeds are
deficient in minerals it does not
mean-that the foetus, will not de—
velop to maturity, 'because the moth—
er will draw the nutrients from her
own body to make up the required
amount absolutely necessary. How-
ever, if her own system is run down
a 'weak offspring will be the result.

all means receive the first milk of. its

the mother for several days. There
are some advantages in this system,
the principal one being that the calf
is sure to get the first milk' and if
the cow’s udder is much swollen the
massaging it gets from the nursing
calf will be quite beneficial. Howev—
er, there are some dangers. The
calf may get too much milk and on
the other hand, if the calf is a
strong lusty calf and the milk sec-
retion has not fully begun the calf
will milk the udder dry and it is a
common Opinion that milk fever is
likely to result if all the milk is tak-
en from the udder at any time dur—
ing the first two or three days.

A better system is .to take the
calf away from the mother immed—
iately after it is born, at least be—
fore it has had time to nurse its
mother. It will be much easier to
teach the calf to drink from a pail
when this system is followed. The
conventional system of teaching the
calf to drink is to get its head be-
tween your legs and then dip the
fore finger into the pail of milk and
let the calf suck the finger and
gradually lower your hand into the
pail of milk. Under ordinary cir-
cumstances, provided the calf is
fully developed in a mental capacity,
.he will. ~begin'to drink at once or at
least after a few such lessons. How-
ever, there is danger of the attend-
ant, being upset and both calf. and
pail of milk heaped upon him.

The milk of the mother. is after;

    

   

. it‘mia~ , yaks changed ft.

too rich in butterfat and this may
cause the calf to scour. If this con-
dition prevails, the milk should be
diluted with skimmilk or after the
first few days the milk from a. low
testing cow can be fed with good
results.

The quantity of milk to feed the
calf at this time is very important.
Under natural conditions the calf
gets its- milk often and in small
quantities, and the more closely Na-
ture is imitated in this case, as well
as practically all others, the great-
er the success in calf raising. The
average sized calf should receive
about eight pounds of milk at first,
large calves, such as Holstein calves,
should have ten pounds or more. If
calves are fed three times or more
per day these amounts can be in—
creased with good results.

The best guide as to the amount
of milk to feed is the calf’s appetite.
It should be fed sufficiently, but nev-
er overfed, and it is a good practice
to always keep the calf a little hun—
gry. The last milk from the pail
should be taken with as much rel-
ish as the first taste. _,

Changing to lSkfm -_Mi1k

It has been demonstrated .many
times that calves can be raised just
as successfully on ski milk after
they are well started as theycan on
whole milk. The time to change
the ‘calf from whole milk to skim
milk will depend,.largely;,upon the

amount of property ownedvby the
wife. In the event of divorce, these
conditions would be taken into con-

amount which would likely be re-

provide a sufficient and proper sup—

port of the children. —Asst. Legal

STANDARD RULE FOR SCALING
DOGS

Please give me a standard scale
for sealing logs. Thank you.—.—-R.
W. C., Ithaca, Mich.

——The Doyle rule gives too low a
content for small logs and too high
a content for big logs. The Scrib-
ner rule on the other hand is fairly
close on small logs but gives too
low a volume for large logs. The
two rules coincide for legs 28 inches
in diameter. Some buyers of logs
take advantage of this and use a
combined Doyle<Scribner in which
the Doyle is used up‘ to 28 inches
and the Scribner is used for logs 28
inches and over.

The Doyle rule is the legal rule
for Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi
and Louisiana and is a standard for

TR‘AVELED SOME-WHAT

00D folks I’ve been on quite a

jaunt since I wrote you last.

Seems like I’ve been purty nigh
to the bottom of the world. You
wouldn’t scars’ly believe it but I’ve
been clear way down in Florida.
Don’t seem hardly pos’ible does it?
An' goin’ down there, mostly in the
night as I might say, I see some of
the strangest sights. I took 'a sleep-
in’ car from Chicago, if you know
where it is—its on the Grand Trunk
& Michigan Central railroads. An'
so of course I got into Chicago. Its
quite a big t0wn by looks of things
from the depot. See nothin’ but
Chicago. Guess it costs a lot of
money to live there when a shoe
shiner charges 10 cents for a shine
an’ 25 cents for a i _' You know a
tip is what most unour congressmen
is )ookin‘ for when they git to Wash-
ington. But don’t ever think one of
‘em is lookin for 25 cents. Why
you know lots of our servants down
there would stick their nose up at.
well at any thing ‘less’n ten or twenty
thousand dollars. An’ some of ’em
would think that small pay for their
great ability.

Well down here in Florida I meet
all kinds of folks. White, from
the north, black or colored, real
denizens—J guess they’re that, any-

waythey seem to live then a little
colored I might say but not painted
as lots of our Northern folks seen
to be. No matter, we’re white or
black as painted—3G“ never put no

feet an’ any thing an’ it don’t cost
a single cent 'cause you knew you
can wash your feet, if you’re oars-
ful "thout a bathing suit on to you
otherwise not.

An’ then its so kinda nice an'
warm down there—Why even when
its cold, its nice an’ warm ’cause of
what you see an’ you can wade .out
into the water kinda salty it is, an
pick up shells of most every kind
guess mebbe they git tired of the
sea, and ocean, an’ come to land for
rest an ’reclermation, if you know
what I mean.

Oh, Florida is a great place!
Back in the cenetery a. little ways
lives the nicest an’ biggest snakes
I’ve ever seen an’ alligators—Alle-
gators 'at you love at first sight.
They have such an open counten-
ance an’ look so friendly. An’ sem-

inole indians—you don’t hardly ever ,

see anw of 'em but you know they’re
there. Thy don‘t look so friendly
as the alligators. quite, an' yet they
ain’t to bad if you dont rite ’em up.

There’s lots of things I could say
'bout Florida but as the teller sed—
the less the better, meanin' not to
talk to much. 'Coarse you’ll want to
know 'bout the women down there

———'I‘bere is nothing in the ”law that
prohibits dancing if the smol auth—

do. It appears from the letter, that
in the particular place where this
dancing is to be carried out in the
schools, the proper provision is
made for the supervision of the
young people who are given the
privilege of dancing in the school
building.

Many school authorities take the
position—that the school building ex-
ists for more than simply school in-
struction; that it should be used her
social control and social Werme‘nt,
and that it is much better that
young people have the mortunity
to dance at the school Mflflng when
provision has been made for such
and where there can be proper dis-
cipline than to dance in public audi-
torims without this discipline.—

Words some of the marvelous qual-

. I decided this was worth listening
to. Anyway, I wanted to see the
ferocious reptiles which the man in
buckskin suit had mentioned, and
which kept wriggling around in the
canvass bag he held on the top of
the table before him.

“Folks,” continued the speaker, “I
held" here in my hand one bottle of

thickest of leather, instantly. Watch
me closely. Here, son, hold this bag

~ pense from the fat stored in the

tails of these enormous reptiles of

Indlans long ago discovered
the magic power of this oil and it
was while I was scouting with Gen-—
eral Phil Custer, just before the fa-
mous battle, that an old chief who
had been captured, told me how to
use it.’L .

Meanwhile the speaker was pre-
paring the famous demonstration
which showed how the oil penetrated
a piece of sole leather. ‘ .

“Now, folks, just a drop of Wiz-
ard Oil on this thickest piece of
leather. See it pass thru immedi-
ately. This oil will get thru any
skin or leather just as quick. Makes
it a wonder cure for rheumatism,
sprains, aches or any ailment of
man or beast. Folks, it’s the best
remedy that was ever put out. Ab-
solutely cures many ailments. Not
only is it a wonder cure, but a few
drops rubbed on leather boots pre-
vents water from soaking thru. A
great preservative for leather and a
fine oil for harness. Keeps that raz-
or strop in shape, and there are
thousands of other uses it may be
put to.

his oil, which generally brings
much- larger prices is offered to you
today for the small price of one dol-
lar a bottle. Money back if it does
not do everything we claim it will.
Now while our agents pass among
the crowd” (which was pretty big
by this time) "I am going to reach
my hand into that bag the boy is
holding and pull out Old Sitting
Bull, the largest rattler in captivity.
Boy hand the bag to me."

Well, I did that all right and
stood by ready to leave in case the
snakes jumped out of the bag. The
speaker started to reach in for one
of the snakes, meanwhile carefully
watching the crowd. Ashe noticed
that some of the onlookers were mov-
ing on, he began a story about the
habits and life of a rattler. But he~
never did pull Old Siting Bull out
of that bag.

A couple of times a snake’s head
came out, but the rattling part never
showed up. It was not until later on
in the day that I learned why. Sit-
ting Bull was kept there because he
was safe, being an absolutely harm-
has old bull snake. ,

But I stayed in hopes of seeing the
mighty rattler. The agents, who
had collected many dollars for the
sale of Wizard Oil, returned and one
of them began to do a few gymnastic
stunts in front of the speaker. He
was a dub as far as I could see, and
my scorn of his ability soon made
me utter a remark'of, “That's noth-
ing!" .

Old Turner, that was the name of
the boss, heard me, and said, "Well,
son, are you able to beat that stuff?"

“Beat it!” says 1, ”Well, if I can’t
beat it, I will eat Old Sittin' Bull!"

“Folks,” suddenly announced Old
Turner to the crowd. "Here’s a lo-
cal boy who says he can beat our
star acrobat. Beat a man who has

’ 'TheiMepmoirs of a Graftcr—By Himself

L GRAFTING money from unwary folks is one of the easi-
. est ways to make a living—while it lasts. This is the
testimony of Pete Dexter, who, in “Forty Years of Faking,”

_. tells the story'of his life.

The grafter may get caught in

the end, but in the meantime he is taking hard-earned
money away from people who need it.
Dexter, in his story, gives a pretty complete record of

devices for corralling easy money.

What he didn't learn

from more experienced fakers, he invented on his own
hook. His story, according to our Service Bureau Editor,
isn’t overdnawn. There are records in the Service Bureau
files of grafting schemes just as raw as anything Pete ever

pulled. '

“Forty Years of Faking” will run in the next six issues
of THE BUSINESS FARMER. You will want to read every in-

stallment.

Learn the grafter’s tricks, and be ready to give

the horse laugh to anyone who tries to put over the same

stuff on you.

 

 

 

ersaults and then walked on my
hands ,and a lot of simple ones. I
was a' pretty good acrobat, and of
course I got the money. The crowd
was for me, and the old man handed
over the cash.

That was the first time I ever
helped with a fake deal, and was
the real beginning of my long car-
eer in the game of chance.

Just after the old man handed me
the cash, he stepped over and says
to me, “Boy, we need you. What do
you say to taking a job with us.”

The deal that finally resulted
mounted to nothing more or less
than that I was to get $25 a month
and keep, with a chance to travel,
to go with Old Turner and his Show.
I was only 16 years old at the time,
and had been farmed out by the
folks in town who had raised me
after Pa and Ma had died. Farmer
Dupray, where I worked, was a
tough old cuss and got me out too
early mornings to suit me. Only
the day before he had me carry a
hive of bees into a shed, and when
I fell down with them he was mad
because I busted a good hive. and
didn’t care if I was stung a lot be-
fore I could retreat to safety. 80 I
agreed to start that night. Didn’t
have any clothes worth while at the
farm, and, besides, I thought it was
safer if the folks didn’t know which
way I went. ' '

That's how I got my start. Have
worked at most every kind of a
fake since then and have been in a
lot of states. Have made alot of
money and lost most of it. Have
had pretty good luck until a few

rs ago, when things started to

k against me and I got taken
up in an oil deal. Got a pardon,
but luck was against me, and after a
few more whirls I had to quit. - So I
finally reformed, and even tho the
old dedre to get started comes on
frequently, I am managing to hold
back. Long as I am settled down
I decided to write this story, and if
my rheumatism gives me a chance
I will tell you how I made out in
business life.

My name doesn’t amount to much.
Never had the same one two years
musing. so it ain’t particular. But
the first time I gave it was Just aft-
er I joined up with Turner’s medi-
cine show. “Pete Dexter” was what
I had answered to when he asked
what he would callme, and so Pete
I was for about a year and a half.

As I said before, I started out
with the medicine show. That was a
great game. The Wizard Oil which

   
 
    
   
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
   

the old man was selling at a dollar
a bottle, and which was guaranteed
to cure everything he could think
of, we made early in the morning
at about 10 cents a gallon. As far
as its coming from snakes—well,
if it did come from the snakes, it
was because they got out of their
cage and crawled out over into the
big barrel. That oil was the cheap-
est kind he could get hold of, and
all he had to do was to put it in the
bottles. The bottles cost about a
nickel apiece and the profit on the
deal amounted to about 90 cents a
bottle.»

The old man had a great stunt
which he used to pull when he got
around a crowd to show’ the wonder—
ful qualities of the oil. Down be—
hind the box he used to talk from,
he had a piece of leather about a
foot square. In another bottle, he
had some fusal oil, which is highly
penetrative. Of course he could get
a crowd around by promising'to ex-
hibit the snakes and after he had
delivered a talk on the wonderful oil
he would give a demonstration as to
how this oil would go thru the
thickest of hides. All he had to do
was to apply a little of the fusel oil
to the square of leather before he
brought it into sight. This fusel oil
would immediately go thru the
thick leather as if it was cloth.
Having done this, Turner would
bring the leather out in full view of
the crowd, but being careful to keep
his hand over the spot where the
oil was. A few passes and be was
applying the Wizard Oil. Without
waiting’ for anyone to look, he im—
mediately Showed the piece, and ap—
parently the Wizard Oil had pena—
trated the leather. As a matter of
fact the Wizard Oil was never put
on the leather during this demon—
stration. But if the crowd had
been skeptical of its qualities
up to this time, this little piece of
slight—of—hand work sure brought
them, and the dollars came rolling
n.

We worked that game all that
summer, and I soon began to see
how easy the people will give up
their money. I decided right there
that there ought to be a chance for
me to get some of that money. So
soon after, I broke with the show
and started on my own hook.

You see, the reason I broke with
Turner was this. He had been tak-
ing a lot of money in that fall but
he had held up paying us fellows
saying that he was investing all his
funds. I got suspicious and one

night Turner didn’t come back to,
the lot, like he was in the habit of
doing. I got excited and trailed him
down town. At the hotel the clef
said he had gone to the depot. :
mediately I decided to follow him
I had an old revolver I had fault". .
a couple of weeks before so I mold“
that along. Well, before Turner
left towu I collected the $150 com—
ing to me but the other boys didn't
get anything but the snakes and the
oil. The oil business busted up
after than. We didn't have a good
,ballyhoo and the other boys decid-
ed there was nothing in it. So I left.
on my owu hook.

During my travels around the
fairs I had met a lot of fellows who
were doing a big business running
lemonade stands. That looked to me . _.
like a pretty good graft. All a fel- , 3‘!
low had to do was get a few cents’ ' 5%!
worth of lemon salts at the corner gr.
drug store, a little coloring matter
for another dime, one half dozen _
thick glasses and everything was all i;
set. We kept track of all the county
fairs and I soon had a circuit of my
own. I managed to hit towu about
a day before the-fair opened up, get-
ting a permit, if necessary, from the
head man of the fair to sell lemon-
ade. Of course I did not get the
permit unless I had to, as they cost
money, but I always did manage to .
get hold of an old barrel which
would hold water and a few boards
to make a stand of.

During my career with the snake
show, I had got the ballyhoo idea
down pretty good and after I had
mixed up my lemonade out of the
lemon salts, a little color with the
water and a few lemon rinds on the
top; it was easy to sell. Of course
we never had to worry about what
was in the lemonade. The big idea
was to sell it and we did not care
how the stuff tasted after we got
the money.

I made a lot of money that sum-
mer, but I had ambitions for a big
game, and I decided that as long as
I was as clever as that, I ought to
be working at something in the win-
ter, too. I had managed to drift in—
to Florida where everything was
balmy and liked it-so well that I de—
cided that it was a great place to
winter, but it took a lot of money
and my lemonade profits were
dwindling pretty fast.

I chanced upon a circular one day
that gave me a good idea. It seems
as tho this company was offering
silverware such as teaspoons, knives
and forks and the like to people
who saved enough coupons. Of
course I soon got wise to the fact
that the extra 60 cents or $1 which
they asked to be sent along with the
coupon. more than paid for the
cheap grade of silver which was
furnished. My idea, however, was
somewhat different. I figured out
a scheme to the effect that if I could
get hold of a lot of names of some ,
of my northern friends and send
them a postcard to the effect that .
they had been awarded a prize of a ,
half dozen teaspoons in a contest,
that they would bite. So I went to
a small print shop and got some
cards printed which read as follows:

“You have been one of the lucky
winners in our contest which has re-
cently closed. If you will send 98
cents to cover Shipping charges to
the following address, we will be
pleased to forward your premium of : .
one-half dozen genuine silver tea-E \ I.
spoons." '

As long as I never had a title. I
decided that now was a good time to
get one, so I signed the card the Na;-
tional Awards Committee and put
my street address on the bottom. 01
course I left my name of! tor var- ,
ious reasons because I did not want .
my friends to know who was pulling ,
this scheme. '

When I was having these cards ,
printed. I noticed in the print shop
an address of a company who would !
furnish mailing lists of good pros-
pects thruout the middle west. That
was just what I wanted, so when
the proprietor was looking the other
way, I appropriated the letter for I
my own use. This mailing list cost
me about three dollars, if I remem-
ber correctly, and I received a list
of about five hundred names. .When i
I had added. on the list of all the
names of my friends and relatives
thruout the corn belt, I found I had '.
a list of about seven hundredfi'fty
prospects. -In about a week I‘ had
cards addressed and mailed their”.
and sat down to await results. ' z' .. "

THE STORY TO DATE

R. STANLEY G. FULTON, 50-year old bachelor and possessor of
twenty million.dollars, calls on his lawyer and they discuss the dis-
position of this large fortune after its owner’s death. The lawyer

l is in favor of giving the money to colleges or charities while Fulton
s opposed to these ideas. He remembers that he has some distant cousins
and decides to leave the money to one of them, but first he determines to
learn which one will use it to the best advantage. To find out who is the
Worthy one he, through his lawyer, gives, each cousin $100000 to use as
they will. Before giving them the money grows a beard and, using the
name. of Mr. John Smith. goes to the town where they live to find out what
kind of people they are. Upon arriving in town he visits James Blaisdell,
one of the cousins, where, he. tries to hire board and lodging. “'hile there
he .meets Miss Flora Blaisdell, another cousin who is a dressmaker. They
decide they cannot rent a room to him and supply him board and refer him
to frank Blaisdell’s, the third cousin. He gets a. room there and, passing
as a- writer gathering material for a book on the Blaisdell family in this
country. he sturts- out. He calls on all of the Blaisdclls and as they all talk

He finds her living with her father, an old man who seems to have soured
0n the world. He secures what information he can from her and her father.

It will show the M. B. F. readers What their distant neighbors are doing

"Then you’re happy, Mrs. Blaisdell?”

“Oh, yes. Why, Mr. Smith, there isn’t
a “piece of furniture in this reom that
didn’t cost. more than the Pennock’s—I

of course. And if you had, you wouldn’t
have realized how expensive it was.
What do you know about the cost of
women’s dresses?” she laughed archly.
“But I don’t mind telling you. It was
one hundred and fifty dollars, a. hundred
and fifty dollars, and it came from New
York. I don’t believe that white muslin
thing of Gussie Pennock’s cost fifty!
You know Gussie?"

dress. Pretty, too, isn’t she? Her father’s
worth a million, I suppose. I wonder
how t’wo'uld feel to be worth~a million."
She spoke musingly, her eyes following
the low—cult blue dress. “But, then, may-
be I shall know, some time,-—from
Cousin Stanley, I mean," she explained
smilingly, in answer to the question she
thought she saw behind Mr. Smith’s
smoked glasses. "Oh, of course, there’s
nothing sure about it. But he gave us
some, and if he’s dead, of course, that
other letter’ll be opened in two years:
and I don’t see why he wouldn’t give us
the rest, as long as he’s shown he re-
membered he’d get us. Do you?”

“Well—er—as to that—~” Mr. Smith
hesitated. He had grown strangely red.

“Well, there aren’t any other relations
so near, anyway, so I can’t help thinking
about it, and wondering," she interposed.
“And ’two-uld be millions, not just one
million. He’s worth ten or twenty, they
say. But, then, 'we shall know in time.”

“Oh, yes, you’ll know—in time,” agreed
Mr. Smlith with a smile, turning away
as another guest came up to his hostess.

Mr. Smith’s smile had been rather
forced, and his face was still somewhat
red as he picked his way through the
crowded rooms to the place where he
could see Frank Blaisdell standing alone,
surveying the scene, his hands in his
pockets.

“Well, Mr, Smith, this is some Show,
ain’t it?” greeted the grocer, as Mr.
Smith approached.

“It certainly is.”

“Gee! I should say so—though I can’t
say I'm stuck on the brand myself. But,
as for this money business, do you know?
I’m as bad as Flo. I can’t sense it, yet
—th-at it’s true. Gosh! Look at Hattie,
now. Ain’t slie swingin’ the style to-

“She certainly is looking handsome
and very happy."

“Well, she ought to. I believe in look-
in’ happy. And I believe in takin’ some
comfort as you go along—not that I've
taken much, in times past. But I’m
goin’ to now.”

“Good! I’m glad to hear it.”

“\Vell, I aim. VVhy, man, I'm just like
a potato—top grown in a cellar, and I'm
comin’ out and get some sunshine. And
Mellicent is too. Poor child! She’s been

now—Have you seen her to—night?”

“I have~and a very charming sight

“Ain’t she, now?” The father beamed
proudly. “Well, she’s goin’ to be that
right along now. She’s goin’ where she
wants to go, and do what she wants to
do; and she’s goin’ to have all the fancy
flumadiddles to wear she wants.”

“Good! I'm glad to hear that, too,”
laughed Mr. Smith.

“Well, she is. This savin’ is all Very
well, of course, when you have to. But
I’ve saved all my life, and, by jingo,
I’m goin’ to spend now! You see if I
don‘t.”

“I hope you will.”

“Thank you. I’m glad to have one on
my side, anyhow. I only wish— You
couldn’t talk my wife ’round to your
way of thinkin', could you?” he shrugged,
with a whimsical sm..e. “My wife’s
eaten sour cream to save the sweet all
her life, an’ she hain’t learned y'et that
if she'd cat the sweet to begin with, she
wouldn't have no sour creami—thouldn't
have time to get sour. An’ there’s apples
too. She eats the specked ones always;
so she don’t never eat anything but the

Mr. Smith laughed.

“By the way, where is Mr. Jim?" he
asked. '

The other shook his head.

“Hain't seen him—but I can guess

don't show it much, when she’s showin’
off the house. You’ll find him there all
right. You see if you don’t. Jim al-
ways would rather read than eat, and he
hates shindigs of this sort a little worse’n
I do."

“All right, I’ll look him up," nodded
Mr. Smith, as he turned away.

Delibemtely, but with apparent care-
lessness, strolled Mr. Smith through the
big drawing—rooms, and down the hall.
Then to the left—the directions were not
hard to follow, and the door of the room
at the end was half—way open, giving a
glimpse of James Blaisdell‘ and Benny

‘ before the big fireplace.

With a gentle tap and a cheerful “Do
you allow intruders?” Mr. .Smith pushed
open the door.

James Blaisdell snmng to his feet.

"Er—I—o-h, Mr. Smith, come in, come
right in l" The frown on his face gave
way to a smile. “I thought— Wéll,
never mind what I thought. Sit down,
won't you?”

"Thank you, if you don’t mind.”

Mr. Smith dropped into a chair and
looked about him.

“Ain’t it great?" beamed Bernny. It’s
'most as nice as Aunt Maggie’s, ain't it?
And I can eat all the cookies here I
want to. and come in even if my shoes
are muddy, and bring the boys in, too."

"It certainly is—great," agreed Mr.
Smith, his admiring eyes sweeping the
room again. _

To Mr. Smith it was like coming into
another world. The deep, comfortable
chairs. the shaded lights, the leaping fire
on the, hearth, the book-lined walls—
even the rhythmic voices of the distant
violins seemed to sing of peace and
quietness and rest.

CAUSE OF BUIfllNG OF CON-
CRETE FLOOR

The concrete floor of my cellar
bulges in the center. Could you tell
me what would cause it to do that?
The floor was put in several years
ago.—A.K., Brown City, Mich.
-—-—«Either" the floor has been lifted
from the center by the weight of
the outside walls so that it is hollow
underneath or the surface layer oi!
the floor may be lifted from the
same cause. '

If this cellar has been built tight
enough to withstand water pres-
sure, it might be possible that the
water has surrounded the cellar and
created enough pressure on the bot—
tom to lift the floor. In case the
cellar has been surrounded by wat—

er, and the pressure on the bottom .
upward would be quite effective in ;

breaking the cement.

However, it is not likely» that the
cellar has been built absolutely wat-
er tight and any pressure by water
on the outside would be likely to
leak thrqugh some place until the
pressure .on’the inside is approxi-
mately the- same as on the outside.

Next Spring?

A low—priced, modern automobile
like the Chevrolet has become
indispensable to the American
family of ordinary income. With—
out it they are prisoners on limited
range—like hobbled horses in a
pasture.

The inspiring beauties of Nature,
the interesting and educational
features of other places and other
types of people and ways of living
remain things to be read about, or
seen dimly in cold photographs,
until you are free to GO TO THEM
’at yOur convenience and pleasure.

Suppose you have definitely deo
cided to buy a Chevrolet next
Spring.

a

That does not necessarily mean you
are going to get it. ‘

Anyone posted on conditions in
the automobile business will tell
you that thousands of families are

going to be unable to get cars next
Spring. That has been true almost
every Spring for the last ten years,
but the shortage in April, May and
June, this year, is going to be more
serious than ever before.

There are just two ways of making
sure of getting your Chevrolet for
use when the flowers and balmy
breezes of Spring lure you to the
country roads:

Buy it NOW, or order it NOW.

If you do not want to pay for it

in full at this time, any Chevrolet ,
dealer will arrange terms to suit

your convenience, so you can pay

as you ride.

You will be surprised to learn how
easy it is to pay for a Chevrolet
and to get possession and use of it.

The only way to be sure of a
Chevrolet next Spring is to order
it NOW.

DH‘OH an e. lira believer in
and on member of the Farm
Bureau. I believe that the

farmer‘s stand securely back of the
Farm Bureau slogans: "Pay as, you
go" and. “tax reduction.” I believe
the farmers look to the Farm“ Bur-

can to live up to these‘slogans. I

do not believe that one farmer in
ten would vote for the proposed plan
to increase our national indebted-
ness $39,000,000 for college exten-
tion throughout the various states.
Junior college extention is all right.
The state appropriates $150,000 for
this purpose. But they are not
teaching all dogs new tricks. I have
never seen much better then a cor-‘
poral's guard attend a college‘ ex-
tension meeting called for that pur-
pose. Aud e'ven if their methods
are good, the farmer’s great need
just now is ability to roof his build-
lngs to properly store his present
overproduction and not a program
of increased ' taxatmn which will
help delay his needed roof.

The farmer is looking to the
Farm Bureau to guard the pork bar-
rel and not be a partaker of it. Their
$39,000,000 appropriation would
start a program of congressional log
rolling which would prove very ex-
pensive to all except promoters and
bond holders—Howard Smith, Sag-
inaw County, Mich.

SETTING MR. JORDAN RIGHT
EAR Editor:—As I am a reader
D of your paper, THE BUSINESS

FARMER, I wish to answer parts

of your editorial page.

. Through the farm papers the av-
erage farmer is fed on propaganda
and being tired and wore-out physi-
cally he is an easy victim to your
mental poison. But things are dif-
ferent and a great many farmers see
through your misleading editorials
now. The large and yes small in-
dustries have not begun to take care
of the vast amount of unemployment
in towns and cities. Nor will they
for some months yet. The immigra-
tion of the farm people to towns
and cities keep up daily. Why? For
high wages?
chance to live better than cattle.
You speak of high wages. Yes where
the workers have well organized
unions the wages can be called the
saving wage. And where the work-
ers are not organized they receive
starvation wages.

You speak of attracting peasants
to this country. Why a peasant with
a large family to even last a year
here on a farm had ought to land
here with $5,000. Could he?

And referring to the large amount
of laborers who have returned to
their native land. Why of course
they will. This country did not give
them their heart’s desire. They left
slavery over there for wage slavery
of the worst sort here. Farms they
could not buy and the speed up syst-x
em here they would not stand for.
Being ignorant and unorganized they
work for common wages which the
merchants and manufacturers. have
agreed upon. This high wage runs
from 30c to 50¢ per hour. Get out
of your editors chair for afifew days
travel around in ‘the various towns
and cities and see the high wages of-
fered to common laborers. See how
they live. No Mr. Editor, you and
others are not fooling all the farmers
now. And as to a Farmer-Manu-
factor Party. Say a farmer isn't the
stick that he was 80 years ago.—
Ralph Jordan, Petoskey, Mich.

—-Good for you, friend Gordan! The
only wa ywe can get these facts
out from under cover is to dis-
cuss them. Inasmuch as you have
taken several direct slams at my
editorial, you will I am sure, allow
me to point out a few descrepen-
cies in, your letter of criticism.
he is through with the political spell-
In the first place there is' little or‘
no unemployment in either cities or
towns in this country. My authority
for this is the report to the Presi-
dent ‘made by the Secretary of La-
bor, within the past ten days. Per-
sonally I. know that any man able
and willing to work can get employ-

ment in~Detroitsnd for that matter,

in, this city ofrten thousand where

No. But for just a.

gssuniis pflnt&,., v .u

fact it is probably true that never
before is the history of the world
have so many people lived in such
comfort as they .do in this country
today. Why, men olive, there are
more telephones in New York than
there are in the whole British Isles
and probably more both-tubs, too!

A farmer with an automobile in ~

England or on the continent would
be a "lerded-lsndholder, or e pretti-
gate spendthrirt looked upon with
suspicion by his rural neighbors. Are
there no farmers near Petoskey who
own automobiles. have telephones in
their homes or enough fuel to keep
them warm the long winter even-
ings? You know there are and we
know too. that a good many readers
whom you say we are trying~ to
“mentally peace" here phon-

ographs, radios and "w «some and

they have won all of these so-cslled

luxuries from the fields, orchards or

dairy that surrounds their homes.

Perhaps. friend Jordan, they have
s mystic key to all of these trees-
ures, but the one We most often find
them using is labeled Hard Work,
and the strange part of that key is
that it will fit the door of success
on the farm, in store or factory.

When I, finished high-school in
Tuscola county the sugar companies
were, just bringing in their families
of “hunkies” (as we unthinking
young nit-wits were wont to call
them.) They landed on our shores
with a big family as their sole asset.
Today thousands of acres of the best
land in Michigan is cultivated by
these sturdy farmers and their red-
barns and tall silos are tangible ev-
idence of their prosperity.

Thank you for the suggestion that

we do some traveling, Mr Jordan,

we did some twenty thousand miles.
mostly in Michigan last year, but we
will try'and do more this year, if
you think that by doing so, we will
learn what you have come to believe.

In your last statement, Mr. Jord-
an, we agree perfectly. “The farmer
isn't the stick he was thirty years
ego," nor will he ever be again, for
he is through with the political spell-
binder who wept alligator tears over
the -“pitiable plight".of the farmer
that he might feather his own nest
from the
farmers votes.

The man whom we are proud to
call a "business farmer”, is not cry-
ing himself, nor asking others to
cry for him. He is working to get
other farmers to join with him, con-

trol the output of their farm factor- '

ice, and have a selling agency
through which they may determine
the price for which their produce is
to be sold. That is the farmers'
problem, as we see it, Mr. Jordan,
and it is the farmers problem, not
the politicians. We admire union
labor, as much as you do, but what
union labor has won they have won
by organizing to sell their product,

which is time, at a price which they _

determine. They have won, but not
by crying or letting politicians cry
for them. They have won by organ-
izing and then standing by their or-
ganization, even if their feet were
unshod, their bellies empty and
their children kept home from
school. So far we hava not found
a farmer organization which has
been put to so strenuous a test, but
we know that the farmers of America
are built of as sturdy-stuff and We
believe, that by the right kind of
leadership they will never have to
resort to the test—Editor.

18 PROIIIBITION AND OTHER
LAWS ON TRIAL?‘
EARgEDlTORh—I notice in M.
B. K, Rb. it issue, on page
14, an article “Prohibition On
Trial." Now ALL laws are being
violated and it seems more so than
usual since the World War. In
speaking of law violation people are
apt to conclude that the prohibition
law is what is meant mainly. But

,WQ also have a lot of trouble with

various other crimes, bandits, speed-
ing of autos, overloading of trucks
and a general disregard of the
rights and saiety of other people.
The violations are many and varied
and affect people in all walks oi life.
There has been in the past a disposi-
tion and a practice on the part of.
certain lawless elements to “get
around" the laws someway. We. had
law violators in saloon days also
and their number was legion. We
had blind pigs. tigers, joints, slums,
and so forth where lawless people
congregated and held law in de-
fiance. But our best citizens have
ever stood for and labored for high-
er and purer ideals of American
citizenship. If our race is to pro-
gress and nourish each generation
must be better and nobler than the
one before.

And so, I' for one would never

lower the Stars and Stripes, and all
it stands for, to an inferior type or
ideal of civilisation. The grand old
flag looks nobler to me as it-iioats
over righteousness and justice.
True, we have too many of the vici-
ous criminal sort. and weak knead
ofliciaia too who are too careless.
and disloyal. We have to strive and
toil and mines ,for the nation and
the people, and the best things of
life one must work for hardest to at-
tain. So that we may be true to
those who, in, times past gave their
best and their all that America
might become the glorious nation
that it is today. Let us stand firm-
ly for the laws (all laws) of our
land. Shall we become frightened
because of untrue officials, or afraid
of personal loss because we dare to
stand for the right? Shall we fall
in line with a lower element who
value too lightly the principles our
nation stands for? ‘

To those who oppose the 18th
amendment we have a word of
warning. Do they really want the
conditions that would come if viola-
tion of all law should become popu—
lar? Of what value would their
property be in a community where
law aflorded them no protection? If
might makes right what will the fu-
ture of America he? Did the saloon
or the blind pig, or the dens of in-
iquity ever contribute any thing to
the well being of humanity? Answer
these questions fairly down deep in
your own heart and you will then
know what to do about it when evil
is striving for a permanent foothold
upon American soil. ’

Let our course be "upward and
onward." Let our best eitorts he giv-
en to the building of a nation, and
the uplifting of a race of people
whose ideals are grounded in Just-
ice, mercy, progress, peace and
all that the best in humanity
means. —.—- Mrs. Florence Howard,
Vice-Pres. Monroe 00. W. T. C. U.

P.S.—Use this letter as you think
best.

More than 85 per cent of the
United States corn crop “is fed to
livestock and somewhat less than 10

; per cent is used for human food, ac-
. cording to recent data compiled by

the United States Department of
Agriculture. The hog is the largest
consumer, to per cent being fed to
swine on farms.

NOTES ON OPERATING YOUR
RECEIVING SET
OME of our readers who have
built sets such as we have des—
cribed in the February 2nd is-
sue of THE BUSINESS FARMER have
had success to start with and others
have not. It is for the benefit of
those who are having trouble that
these notes are written, yet thensuc‘é
cessful ones may find a hint or two
of value.

The batteries must be connected
properly to the indicated binding
posts. The B battery especially, as
it will not Work unless the positive
side of the battery is connected to
the “plate” of vacuum» tube. The
A battery will sometimes work better
with the positive connected to one
post and with other tubes the nega—
tive is so connected. Try changing
your A battery connections.

Trace out all connections, a loose
connection will make your set howl
at times, or be very noisy and it will
prevent it’s working.

Be sure that all four contacts on
the socket are making contact with
the 4 prongs on the bottom of the
tube.

Do not use to heavy a pencil line
on the grid leak. If you.buy a grid
leak complete get one of 3 megohms
for the WD—ll or WD-12 tube. Too
much of a leak makes tuning diffi-
cult and looses much of the received
value. ‘Too little is just as bad. Try
pencil lines of varying strengths. Be
sure that your screws are making
contact with the 'pencil lines.

If after trying the above your set
does not work, reverse the connec-
tions on the rotor of your vario-
coupler. This alone causes more
trouble than any other thing in sets
like this, but is not a fault but is
due to the fact that each make of in-
strument has its windings connected
differently.

USE A RHEOSTAT—This will
save your battery, and in many
cases will help. If your set howls
when first connected or when you
go to tune, it may be because your
filament is too hot. Use the rheo-
stat (6—ohm) and keep the filament
J’ust heated enough to work.

Make your turnings on the con—
denser and coupler very slowly, you
may miss a station without realizing
it.

If in doubt write this department
or send your set to have it tested.
It costs you nothing but the postage.
Do not send batteries—we have
them. ———————

PANELS AND THEIR MATERIALS
the articles on “How to Build”
we have told you to use wood
for the base and panels, emphas-

izing the need to parrafin or shellac

them; This using of wood gives
good results in spite of all that may
be said against wood for panel use.

Wood is not considered a good di—
electric, whereas hard rubber, bake—
lite, condensite and other materials
are of good dieleCtric properties. The
last named compositions are excel—
lent insulators also, and in radio
work good insulation is absolutely
necessary as we are dealing with
high frequency currents that have a
way of finding all the weak spots.
Wood is apt to hold a small amount
of moisture at all times and hard
rubber and the others are without

leaks of electric current. Wood prop-
erly treated in hot parrafin has all
the moisture driven from it and be-
comes an excellent insulator and has
good dielectric properties.

moisture. Moisture will always cause ,

 

ing, to meet the needs of the small
pocket—book, wood treated as des-
cribed will give you as good results
under ‘ordinary asuage as the pre-
pared composition panels. Labora-
tory tests alone will tell or show any
difference.

For appearance and neatness and

satisfaction of knOWing that you are
using the best we do suggest that
you use one of the regular panels
such as bakelite, hard rubber or con—
densite. A panel 6 by 10 inches will
cost approximately $1.00 and will do
for the receiving set, tho not_1arge
enough for a combined set including
amplifier. Ifryou wish to mount
both sets in one, then get a panel 6
by 15 inches. .
. Before making any holes in the
'panel for mounting the different
parts be sure that you first lay your
plan out on a piece of paper, then us—
ing this paper as a template (pat-
tern) mark the holes on the panel
with a center punch or prick awl.
After marking, remark deeper so
that the drill point will not slip and
mar the appearance of the panel.

To bore the holes you will need
twist drills (not necessary wood),

scribed'in our last issue.

of one—eighth inch and one-quarter
inch diameter. Use a breast drill
if you have one, or an ordinary brace
with bit shank drills. Bore careful-
ly as the panel material is somewhat
brittle and may chip 3. little. Start
your boring from the face side of the
panel and then the chipped edges

.where the drill breaks thru will be

on the back and not show. A larger
drill lightly run over the top of a
small hole will smooth off any rough-
ness on the edges. In this manner
holes can also be counter sunk to
make screw heads flush. .

One great advantage of the regu-
lar panel materials mentioned over
wood is that they not have a grain.
do not split and crack nor warp like
wood. A panel of bakelite one-
eighth inch thick is rigid and strong-
er than a half inch piece of wood for
a panel.

NOT REGENERATIVE CIRCUIT

I noticed in a recent issue of your
paper an invitation to submit raido
problems to you for advise, so I am
doing so.

I am using a Duck type CV crystal
set. The hook up I think is called
a single circuit regenerative circuit,
but I am not sure. It consists of a
variometer, 45 plate variable con-
denser, small fixed condenser, and
crystal detector. It gives mighty
good results for a crystal set I think.
Have received as far as 700 miles.
But my main trouble is that often

' KDKA: interferes so much that it is
impossible to listen to anything else.
,-Sometimes that station will come in
as loud in- any possible position on
my dials as on any other. Sometimes
when I am.trying to listen to that
station it will go out entirely, like a.
loose wire on a telephone, then if I
shift my dials over to where 400 to
600 meters should come in it will
come in again, though often badly
distorted. Is there anything that I
can do to shut KDKA out entirely,

 

 

SET WORKS FINE

CHE parts for the radio re-
ceiving set came last Wed-
nesday and we got it hook-

ed up and tuned in last night
for the first time. I want to
thank you for getting the parts
for us and for the help in tell-
ing us how to build it. I never
had any experience of this kind
before but we had no trouble in
following your directions and
making it work., \Ve had WCBD,
Zion Cit-y, Illinois, for over an
hour last night and it came in
nice and clear so that we could
understand every word and hear
the music real plain, except at
times it sounded as though
someone had stepped on the
cat's tail, but we expect to get
away from that as we get a.
little experience. “’6 also had
another station for a while but
am not sure where it was. Again
thanking you, I am, E. J. Dela-
marter, Cheboygan 00., Mich.

 

when I want to listen to Detroit?
Would a loading coil placed in the
aerial do it? If so how should it be
made? Would the substitution of a
variocoupler in place of the variom—
eter be much better? Any advice you
can give me I would appreciate.—
Alfred Clark, St. Clair County, Mich.

——The circuit you use is not regen—
erative but is a single circuit and
if changed to a two circuit would
clear up your difficulty of tuning out
undesirable stations. A variocoup—
ler used, with your condenser across
the primary and the present variom—
eter in serieswith the rotor of. the
coupler would give you much better
results and would be a two circuit
tuner which would be sharp but not
as loud as you now get your stations.
Sometimes a poor connection or a
grain of dirt will make your station
go away, or it just naturally fades
'which no one can help.

 

“PANTS SET \VITH 1,500 MILES
RANGE

I read the Radio Department in

the Busines Farmer with interest. I
do not know much about sets and
would like to know which set you
think is best for receiving a distance
of 1,500 miles. Also what are the
prices?——M. M. Patrick, Eaton
County, Mich.
-——We are glad that you are inter—
ested in radio. It will be a great
benefit and pleasure to farmers when
they all have them in their homes
for both business and pleasure.

There are a number of excellent
and good sets that will cost you
from $75 to $150. Yet many of
these sets will not bring in the broad-
casts any better than the set we de—
scribe in our February 2nd issue,
especially when you add the ampli-
fiers and loud speaker to it.

On such a set, here in northern
Michigan I hear KYW, Chicago, give
out the hourly news and market
quotations every day. And it has
brought in broadcasts from Dallas,
Txeas, as well as Springfield, Mass,
and many others.

The De Forest, Westinghouse (or
Radio Corporation), Tuska, Clapp-
Eastham, Atwater Kent, are all good
and reliable sets.

Some dealer in Grand Rapids
could show you these sets, but be—
ware of extravagant promises. The
dealers have not yet realized that
the farmer is the next and largest
market for good radio parts and sets,_
and so sometimes tries to “stick”
you. Why not build yourself a set?

"The Farm Paper of Service”

GET THIS STRAIGHT!

OME people have a habit of reading more be-
tween the lines than they do in the printed
words themselves. Two letters addressed

to the Editor bring this fact to mind and are
worth commenting on.

One accuses us of having sold-put to big busi-
ness. Another that we don’t understand how
bad things are on the farm.

We will try, in plain language to make our-
selves clear.

THE BUSINESS FABHEB has only one interest to
to serve and that is the best interests of the
farmers of Michigan. We have no political, or-
ganization or religious entanglements of any
name or nature!

Tm: BUSINESS Fsam is the only farm paper
in Michigan which is not owned by a politician
drawing a salary from the state or national gov-
,ernment.

No man residing outside of the state of Mich-
igan owns one dollars worth of the voting stock
in this company.

We have not sold-out to big business or little
business and, confidentially with the continued
support of the better class of business farmers in
Michigan we will never have too.

. 0 O .

Now, answering the second good reader, who
thinks because we try to talk optimism we do
not know how bad things are onr‘the farm.

It is Our opinion that the farming business
needs sound leadership more than anything else.
Sound leadership knows that no one can help
the tamer out of the present situation but the
farmer himself.

|The present situation had to come. The
farming business is the last to be organized for
its own protection. It is the lamb in the lions
den. The laborer is organized so strongly that
he demands and receives a profit on his labor.
The manufacturer, by cost accounting and keen
salesmanship, makes a product and sells it in
the face of competition at a profit. The trans-
portation company knows it costs and demands a
profit.‘ The farmer alone is unorganized, un-
protected and each individual farmer is every
other farmers’ worst enemy. That is, under the
old order of things!

We are optimistic, because there is a proven
way out of this dilemma._ Cooperative marketing
and the control of production is the key.

California led the way. The east was first to
apply it in dairy products. We see plainly that
it can be extended to all of the minor crops im-
mediately and to the major crops eventually.

The weak-knead, the jolly-spined and yellow-
backed farmers have mostly left the farms. Good
ridance! It is their farms which are “abandon-
ed.” It is they who listened to the calamity-
bowling politicians who rode to their soft-cush-
ioned o‘mces on their promises of “farmers re-
not!”

, Now we in a left. a sturdy lot of business
nan. who are ticking to their plows and' their
barrows. because they have millions 0! dollars
invested in a business which they- will not .00
fall. maus- it cannot fail.

 

make a fair profit.

Apply that to the farming business and the _

answer must be the same.
O O t O .

No. neighbor, Tnu‘ Busmnes FABMEB has
preached optimism, not because we have not
known conditions on the- term, but because we
hoped that our feeble words might lend a little
ray of sunlight to that discouraged farmer or his
wife. That we might hold a few of the stirling
boys and girls who were scurrielng from the
farm as they would from a plague—

Because a certain type of individual has from
platform and editorial page tried to make farm-
ers believe he was their friend by telling them
how badly they were 01! and promising relief-
which was never forthcoming.

If you want to hold a single boy or girl on .

the farms of Michigan—

If you want to hold a single man or woman in
your employ from the magnet of the city fac-
tory—

If you want your farm to maintain its present
value—

YOU will chase out of your neighborhood and
bar from your homes. not only the politician,
but the publication which he dominates with his
poisoned pen. .

Q Q t 0

That the real, thinking, working business
farmers of Michigan know these things without
our stating them, is proven by their subscription
renewals and their letters of encouragement
which accompany them.

it is probable that each of the eight will -then

BUSINESS FARMERS

And they are the only kind we care to call

business farmers anyway!

THE INCOME TAX

0 series of articles which we have been able

to present to our readers for some time has
stirred up the interest already manifested in the
taxation series by Mr. Stanley M. Powell, begun
in the March first issue.

In this issue Mr. Powoll takes up the question
of the income tax, a measure which has been
voted on favorably by every farmers organiza-
tion of standing in Michigan and one which we
believe has the almost unanimous approval of the
tumors in this state. Obviously it is not as
popular in the metropolitan sections, and we can
expect opposition that will make this a very dif-
ficult measure to get on the statute books-

It should be remembered that the income tax
as proposed is not an additional tax but is to
take the place of the general property tax as col—
looted by the stats. Inasmuch as incomes of
less than $4000.00 are exempt, it is apparent
that the larger proportion of farmers in Michi-
gun will be entirely relieved of this burden, and
when it is considered that they are the funda-
mental source of revenue and must pay the taxes
indirectly through on all purchases of manufac—
tured articles which they buy, it is quite apparent
that it is not a matter of class legislation but
rather a more equitable distribution of state tax-
ation.

Other states, notably New York, where the
bulk of the population are engaged in industrial
pursuits, have an' income _tax, and with so illus-
trious an example it should not be hard to con-
vince the voters of Michigan that such a tax is
highly equitable and practical.

Mr. Powell points wit that the first step is to
procure 60,000 signatures to a petition for a con-

- stitutionai amendment, so that it would be plac-

ed upon the ballot at the regular fall election of
1924 and voted on by all voters in the state. It
will be largely up to the rural citizens of Michi-
gan as to whether or not they get a chance to
vote on this important measure at the coming
election. By all means read Mr. Powell’s series
of articles: there is no use kicking about high
taxes unless you are fully informed on them and
that is the purpose of this series.

THEW‘ILLIAMSBILL

EPRE'SENTATIVE ARTHUR B. WILLIAMS,

of the third district of Michigan, introduced

a bill “to establish a federal cooperative

marketing system." which we mentioned on this

page in the last issue. calling the attention of our

readers and farmers organisations generally to

the fact that they must get behind this bill it
Mr. Williams is to be enabled to put it over.

Briefly it provides for the following features:

publication of these reports so individual
farmer member will know just how busi-
ness is progresing. ,

A letter just received from Representative
Williams reads as follows:

“My attention is Just now called to your
very the editorial of March first with ref-
erence to the cooperative marketing bill
that I have introduced. You have hit the
nail squarely on the head when you urge
farmers of Michigan and farm organisa-
tions to go on record regarding this mob"
sure immediately. We are likely to have
a hearing on the bill within the next two or
three weeks, and if I could have support
from farm organisations ayailable at that
time it would be very helpful. Anything ,
that you can do to assist along this line will
be very much appreciated. I have enlisted
in this matter very seriously, and as time
goes on am gathering strength and believe
that the bill I have introduced can at least
form the basis for very beneficial and need-
ed legislation. Please accept my thanks
for your editorial as it is very sympathetic
and is along the right line."

Here is apparently a worthy bill prompted by
a Michigan man. If you are interested write a,
postal card or letter today to Representative
Arthur B. Williams, care of House of Represent-
atives, Washington, D. C. Ask him for extra
copies of this bill and tell him you are willing
‘to help. This is a chance to do something that
is worthy and do it quickly.

 

EDISON A “DUMBELL” AT SCHOOL

. HIS is a special message to fathers and moth-
are who have become discouraged because
of the seeming lack of interest or the slow

progress of their offspring in school.

Thomas A. Edison, who has contributed more
to the present generation of human kind than
any living man, gave out recently an interview
which sheds a ray of hope. "I was a youngster
going to school in Port Huron, Michigan, and I
was about eight years old." said Mr. Edison, "A
teacher said my brain was ‘addled.’ Probably
this was true but it hurt my vanity; So I ran
to mother and ‘sobbed out the story and she
smoothed my hair and cornrorted me and told me
I was the finest boy alive. From that time my

mother, who had been a high school teadier,~

took charge of my education and I did not go
back to the public schools. There remains with
me yet, however, two great impressions—that of
the hurt the teachers caused me and the comfort
my mother was quick to give.

“It is not always a child’s fault if he fails to
catch on as quickly as his teacher thinks he
should. It is sometimes the honest child who
doesn’t try to hide his deficiencies."

All human beings are not of the same temper-
ament and that a boy or girl is backward in
mathematics or in grammar may not mean that
they do not have special capabilities for work-
ing with their hands or with their minds which
may far outdistance those who must procure
from books their learning.

How often we see the boy or girl who had the
best record in school, who Was able to reel off
the chapters which they read in their school
books as easily as a phonograph repeats its rec-
ord and yet, who in later life were unable to ap-
ply the veneer of education which they received.
while the so~called “backward" students in the
same class stepped out in the world and made a
great success.

Some day a school system will be devised
which brings out the latent talents of each in-
dividual and until that time We beseech patience
and encouragement, rather than harsh words or
mortiflcation-

Every human being comes into the world with
some especial talents and it is the crime of our
civilization that there is not some means of find-
ing these in the child and polishing them by the
means of education.

THE DETROIT PAOKIN G
COMPANY

Please tell me something of the
Detroit Packing Company. Is the
company any good? Several have
had money in the company for two
or three years and haVe never re-
ceived any interest. A year ago last
October their man was here again
”selling stock and claiming we would
so our dividend and interest the fol-
lowing January but we never got
any. Please tell me what this stock
is worth per share? It was sold for
$60.00 per share—J. M. I., Charle-
voix. Mich.

LL ‘1 can tell you, without making

. financial statement which you as
a stockholder, already have, is that
this company has a splendid packing
plant in Detroit, and that it is oper-
ated by men whom I believe to be
honest, eficient, and trustworthy.

It is not to be expected that any
new company can start on, within
two or three years and make a pro-
m, unless conditions are exce tional.
This is one reason why more
should not rush into businesses with
their money. unless they are pre-
pared to leave it in oVer a period of
time, until the business is adjusted,
and on a money making basis.

You paid $60 a share for this
stock, and it‘may be Worth more or
less today, so unless you are pressed

‘ for money, I would not advise you to

sell it, unless you find you can do

' so at a satisfactory profit to yourself.
' Personally, I have not lost faith in

this company, nor the men behind

: it, and I believe with the great con-

sumin market of Detroit at their
very core, that with eflicient man-
agement they can make a success of
this business, and certainly their in-
stitution has offered a market for a

a great mass of livestock on which the

Cletrac—More Than a Plow Tractor

Having a tractor enables a farmer to plow deeper, better and far quicker
than with teams. Turning over the land is one of the biggest jobs of the
whole year. The 12-20 Cletrac turns over the evenly cut furrows at the rate
of eight to ten acres a day. But the farmer’s tractor, to be a real investment,
must do more than plow well. It must be able to go right onto the freshly
plowed ground and quickly work it down to a perfect seed-bed. Here is
where the Cletrac owner's foresight is rewarded. His tractor is admirably
suited for ground fitting.

A Better Seed Bed Insures a Bigger Crop

Where the soil is looswperhaps even wet in spots—~the broad tracks
carry Cletrac smoothly along without slip; full speed and load is maintained,
the ground is mellowed and made fine and ready for planting without any
packing down, and in the quickest possible time. When work is pressing
and weather uncertain, to be able to fit and plant quickly and perfectly is
the farmer’s best assurance of a bigger yield and a better product. It often
means the difference between profit and loss on the crop. No tractor is so
well suited for seed-bed preparation and planting as the Cletrac.

TEXTS: "Learn of me for I
am meek and lowly of heart "
Mt. 11:29. “Blessed are the
meek for they shall inherit the
earth.” Mt. 6:5.

UT, said the Kaiser this Jesus
stuff is the silly talk of child-
ren. It is Weak and ignoble.

It does not belong to super-men
And this is ever the notion of such
cultus.

And this is
the law of the jungle; of the survival
of the fittest. “To the victor belong
the spoils. ” That is, to the conspic-
uous, daring, and heroic. And so,

this virtue of meekness has been-

serlously misunderstood. According

to profane conception, it forfeits its-

right to be a virtue. It is void of
vigor and strength. But this, we
know, is the direct opposite to the
Jesus way. According to our texts,
meekness is replete with comfort,
energy, and strength.

“Jehovah upholdeth the mask.”
Pa. 147: 6. He did the patient Job.

got on my train. I beckoned to have
him sit by my side. I was too quick
to express my sorrow for his seem-
ing misfortune. “0", said he, “you
needn't be sorry for me.” “No?"
said I. "Tell me about it. "_ And he
did. About a' year before he lost
his sight thru heavy lifting in his
father’s store. He immediately call-
ed a physician who told him he would
never see again.
brood or wall over his affliction, he
began at once a course in a blind
school. And when I met him that
day on the train, he said to me, .“I
am one of the happiest men in the
world. I am now preparing to teach
the blind the Jesus way of living."
Verlly, what recreating power in
new objectives! Even so, in accept-
ing willingly the hard experiences
and providences of life. being dis-
posed not to’ chafe under them, we
are perfecting ourselves in Christian
character. When sorrow and dis-
aster come, we need something more
than natural strength to carry us
thru gracefully and joyfully.

But the will is the citadel of one’s
life. And that 'must be conquered
thru meekness. With this submis-
sion accomplished, and an obedience
that does not question. the soul is
far on its road heavenward. All of
God’s providences, whether sunshine
or shadow: all the mmmands of his
will; and all the holy impulses of
his Spirit, are to the end that we
may yield a. meek compliance to

him. Doyou have such an lnconsplc- '

uous Spirit? While the world ideal-
izes the gorgeous sunflower, you be
as the little violet, hidden away, but
shedding fragrance everywhere.

In all this, Jesus is our human
pattern. “I am meek and lowly."
How wedded are meekness and hu-
mility! Both grow out of a right
notion of and faith in God. We are
humble because of a creaturely de-
pendence upon God; and meek be-
cause of a non—retaliating disposi-
tion in consequence. When faithful-
ness to his mission required suffer-
ing and death, Jesus accepted in
meek willingness. “Not my will,
but thine be done.” Meekness en-
abled Christ to conquer natural
tastes and desires when opposed to
the will of God. And it will do as
much for you and me.

“Showing all meekness toward all
men." Titus 3:2. This is the rela-
tionship that Christians are to sus—
tain toward men. Not a natural
timidity and fear; not a craven wea‘k-
ness; but we must be to all men the
strength of nobility and virility that
.13 to produce the most happy results
in fellowship and good-will. We are
to conquer the “eye for an eye and
tooth for a tooth" spirit. We are
on unfriendly territory and are
bound to be barked at, and Some-
times bl ten, by the dogs of the
world; then meekness steps In to
keep us unprovoked What a mast-
erful spirit! ‘

Friend, pour the divine chemical
of meekness on the fires of antag-
onism. The icebergs of the North
disappear only when they hit the
warmer waters of the Atlantic. 80

A SERMON BY REV. IJAVID R. WARNER—

Blessed are the strong for .
they shall conquer the earth This "
, is yet the world’ s ideal.

Then, rather than,

      
 

The divine patience and meek-
ness that grows out of love is not
easily provoked. It has its way over
self-assertiveness and restrains ang-

-er so that friendly relations might

be kept up. It expects no bouquets
pinned upon its cost. It does not
look for the appreciation of men,
and therefore, does not whine when
not getting it. It is satisfied untamed
and unnoticed. May God be praised
for the great company of immortals
who are quietly and unassumingly
making this world better in the
Master’s name!

But what is meekness after all?

In its totality, it is a world-conquer—
ing principle. “The meek shall in-
herit the earth.” Not so, says the
world. We shall build battle-ships
and airplanes, equip armies, fill the
air and sea with death dealing de-
structives, and by these we' shall
conquer the earth. 'Ah, the world
would faln crucify the dearest hopes
of. the Christian. And here the
writer must declare himself against
the Coolidge policy of a st’re hen-
ed army and navy. And w this
policy? Well, investments are now-
lng into foreign quarters; and big
money must be protected. _
must follow trade. It is ever the
way with any form of political im-
perlalisin. And who pays the taxes
in men and meney to promote this
scheme of capital? How do you like
it, farmer friend?
ago, that Rural Peasant in Galilee
of the nations, proclaimed the free-

dom of men thru bread instead of ‘

bullets. Said he, “Disarm yourself
of selfishness and retaliation. Arm

yourself with meekness. Do not ex-
ploit men. Feed them. By this I
conquered. So can you.

”The meek shall inherit the
earth." Not thru outward posses-
sion, which was the Jewish concep-
tion, and is yet (ask the Jewish fin-
anciers), but 'thru the dominion of
character. The meek, in accepting
God’s will and providences as the
discipline of the soul, have over-
come the world and mastered earthly
things. Do you hear Paul and Silas
singing praises in the prison stocks?
Said the mystic, Madame Guyon, im-
prisoned in the French Bastlle, “A
little bird I am, shut in from the
fields of air; and in my cage I sit
and Sing to Him who placed me
there; Right pleased a prisoner to
be, because, my Lord, it pleases
thee.” These and a thousand others
have truly established sovereignty
over the earth. Those who are calm
under fire of opposition and wrong,
show themselves able to counsel and
guide men. This is what history will
say of the late Woodrow Wilson.
“My heart was heavy, for its trust
had been

Abused, its kindness answered with
foul wrong;

So, turning gloomily from my fel-
low men

One summer sabbath day, I strolled
among

The green mounds of the village
burying place;

Where, pondering how all human
_love and hate

Find one sad level; and how, soon
or late,

Wronged and wronged-door, each
with MEEKENED face,

And cold hands folded over a still
heart.

Pass the green threshold of a com-
mon grave,

Whither all footsteps tend, whence
none depart,

Awed for myself, and pitying my
race,

Our common sorrow, like a mighty
wave,

Swept all my pride away,

And, trembling, I forgave.”

“Whittier.

One who is touched with the spirit
of the meekened Christ, finds too
much to pity in a world of sorrow to
cherish the feeling of revenge. When
we persist in an injurious spirit to-

ward others, we become a

need the sweet, chastened spirit of
Jesus._ This is God’s higher gift to
men.

ieties of plums require but littlr'
pruning subsequent to the proper
shaping of the trees after they ar<

just as good if not better trees, it i
regarded as a waste of time and ef

Ten varieties of plums were used
in the tests, including Asthma

Vapo Oil Range

Operates same as a gas stove because it burns gas

The Vapo is the highest grade oil range
built and the most economical. Wick-
lcss, smokeless and odorless, it gives you
more service per gallon of fuel, more
service per square foot of space and more
service per dollar than any other oil
stove because of the rcmarkable,patented
Vapo burner. Users everywhere are de-
lighted. Thousands of dealers now sell
this year-around oil range.

Cuts down work in the
kitchen

No more long hours in the kitchen over
a slow cooking stove. No more soot on
cooking utensils. No more smarting
eyes. No more trouble and annoyance
with wicks and chimneys. You turn the
Vapo flame up or down with a lever
valve, same as a gas range. It has no
wick. It has no wick substitute.

Cook a week on 7 qts. of fuel

That is what users say they are doing
with the Vapo. A single burner operates
32-36 hours on a gallon of kerosene with
flame turned high. At simmering heat
it gives 50-60 hours service.

Vapo burner generates gas

It converts kerosene into hydro-carbon
gas which burns with a hot, clean, blue

flame which does not smell nor smoke
nor smart the eyes. Flame can be turned
from low to high and back again easily. '
This wonderful burner can’t be clogged.
Food or liquids can’t boil over into but-
ner and put out flame.

Bolo oven bakes and roasts
same time

Movable Bolo plate makes oven big or
little. Heat can be crowded into small
space and intensified for quick baking
and roasting. Makes two ovens in one.
Slow and fast baking and roasting can
be done at the same time. No other Oil
stove offers this advantage. Have your
dealer show you this and other Vapo
conveniences.

EAR girls and boys: What do
you think of the suggestion or
Muriel Frey in her, letter be-

low?_ Shall we have a “Correspond-

ence Scramble”? It is up to you,

do only what you want me to. You.
send in your letters and I will .do
my part—and you can start right
the moment you read this if you
wish. Who will be the first?

“Kitty” of Chesaning is a real
poet—~01- poetess, rather—lsn't she?
Let us hear from some of the other
poet readers of our Children's Hour.
Also you story writers get busy and
write a. real interesting story for
our page. No doubt you can write
one about some happening in your
life that will be very interesting
to us all. And you young artists
can also have space on‘ this page so
send me some of your drawings. I
will publish some of them, or as
many as I can. Make the drawings
with pen and ink and not with water
colors. Let’s see how much literary
and artistic talent there is among
the farm girls and boys—UNCLE
NED.

OUR GIRLS AND BOYS

Dear Uncle Ned:—While reading the
letters in The Children's Hour I notice
so many express a wish to correspond
with others who write to the M. B. F.
I have been wondering why you do net
conduct 8. "Correspondence Scramble".
When I have read letters asking for tho
boys and girls to write I have some
times thought that I would; but. some
way I found it a hard thing to do; in
fact, so hard that I never did do it.
This would be an easy way to obtain
correspondents and no one would really
be writing first. I'll tell you a good way
to conduct a "Correspondence Scramble”
so that each one who writes will receive
two letters. I know of course, Uncle
Ned, that you know for more about this
sort of thing than I do and, if you Would
rather follow out your own ideas on the
subject, it will be alright with me. The
only thing about it is that I am sure
the readers of The Children's Hour
would enjoy a. scramble. My way is for
each one who wishes to receive letters
from other boys and girls. to write a
letter (of course no one known who will
receive their letter) and enclose it (the
letter) and a stamped self-addresses en-
velope to you. Uncle Ned, and then you
open the letters and put some one else’s
into the other’s envelope and mall them
out. This way each child will receive
some unknown friend’s letter and some
other child will receive the letter that
they wrote. Each child then answers
the letter they receive. This way each
child gains two correspondents ( the one
who receives their letter and the one
item whom they receive a. letter). Its
just heaps of fun. I know—for I en-
tered such a scramble and am still keep-
ing up an interesting correspondence with
two new friends that I have made.
I wish to thank you for printing my
unit letter in The Children's Hour. I
know its asking a lot to ask you to
print two letters in so short a. time. but
I really do wish this one could be printed
to see lf_the other readers would like this
idea. I think it would be fun for the
readers of The Chidren’s Hour if they
would write to the M. B. F. telling
whether they would like to try my idea.

I enjoy the puzzles on the children’s
page very much and I almost always
try to solve them. My solution to the
one in the March lat issue ls:—"Ahye-
Chain". Wouldn’t it be fun to have the
drildren send in their answers and com—

for prizes? Your new niece,——Murlel

y, Wedonla, Michigan.

ONG, long ago their lived a dear
little, downy little woodpecker.
“Friend Downy,” the Little

Comrades of the Woods, called him.

We was a most handsome, dressy
little fellow. He wore a. black coat
speckled with white, and the most
enticing grey vest and trousers. and
grey spate. And he carried a gold-
headed cane. And, at the back of
his dear little, downy little head
there was a: bright red spot. Which
was meant for a tie. But he always
wore it backwards.

But Friend Downy was Lonesome.
Yes, sir-eel rWay down inside
Friend Downy was lonesome!

So one day he spoke to one of his
little Comrades of the Woods about
that lonesome feeling, "way down in-
side.

“Do you know," and Friend
Downy looked thoughtful and wist-
ful, "I want a mate. Mr. Chickadee!"

"A mate!” chirped Mr. Chickadee.
“Well, why don't you advertise?"

"Advertise?" Friend Downy trown-
ed. “How in the world would I
advertise!”

“Oh, I don’t know,” and Mr.
Chickadee gave a mysterious little
chuckle, and away he hopped.-

Well, for days and days Friend
Downy thought over what Mr. Chick-
adee had said.

And one day, a month later, all
the little Comrades of the Woods
heard a strange drum, drum, drum-
ming. It sounded as it someone
were striking something against an
old, partly decayed tree.

——In reference to your difficulty with
your radio set we do not know just

_ what tubes and batteries you are

using now as you do not mention
them. However, we will do the best
we can for you and hink that if
you follow directions t you will

not have to buy new batteries more -

than once a year.

When ever you finish listening-in
on your set always disconnect the
“A" battery. This will prevent accl-
dental drain on this battery. If
your'set has a switch for this pur-
pose be sure that it is at ”011'" when
not using the set.

If you are using 4 tubes of either
WD-ll or WD-12 type you will need
for your “A" battery 4 No. '6 dry
batteries connected in multiple.
These connected in multiple will give
you from 100 to 300 hours of inter-
mittant service. If you are using
either TIN—199 or 0299 tubes you
should uses 3 No. 16 batteries con-
nected in series, better to use 6 bat-
teries three in series and two in
multiple. Your life then would be
from 200 to 600 hours.

The “B" battery of 90 volts would
be too expensive it you used wet
batteries. Burgess or Eveready “B”
batteries of 22% volts each will give
you 1, 000 to 1, 500 hours service
(which will mean at leasto year).
Four of these 22% volt batteries
will cost you from $6 to $10 and
that will be the limit for a whole
year. Your total should not exceed
$15 a year.

If we knew just what your set
was and what tubes we could help
you more, also tell you how to make
your horn work. It should be bet-
ter than head phones with so many
tubes. Tell us what aerial and
ground you use also the tubes and
we can help you more.

We think that your trouble is
mostly in leaving your filaments
burning all the time which will use
up your batteries quickly.

SCARLET FEVER
. at ten years, the child has not
had scarlet fever, the chances
are that he never will have it.

So say Drs. Hektoen and Perry of
the McCormick Institute for Infec—
tions Diseases, Chicago, in the first
of a series or articles on “Neighbor-
ly Diseases," which appears in the
March issue at! Hymn. the popular
health magazine published by the
American Medical Association.

Nine out of every ten cases of
scarlet fever are among children
under ten years, and the greatest
number of cases are among children
from three to six.

Scarlet fever can be prevented;

say the doctors. Ways to prevent
its spread are these:

1. Every person sick with the‘
disease should be so confined that
all discharges, such as from nose
and throat, may be kept from direct
or indirect contact with other per—
sons.

This means, first of all, that all
nasal and similar discharges must
be caught on papers or cloths that
can be burned at once.

2. No article should be taken
from the sick room until it has been
disinfected.

3.. No person should leave the
sick room without removing a pro-
tective garment and washing his
hands.

4. No person who takes care of-

a scarlet fever patient, who has been
in the room near one, or who has
recently had the disease himself.
should mingle with children or
should handle food. especially milk.

Once the child gets scarlet fever
there is no “cure.” The disease
must run its course, so the best
care should be given him and the
rules of isolation strictly followed.

Hundreds may be saved from
suffering if a person takes conscious
care of his own child and sees that
if “exposed," he is kept at home
and, if he develops the disease, he
is properly isolated,

11mm STILL PLOW’S wrrn
Foam STICK

HE Indian farmer has made only.

one or two improvements ‘on
‘ ‘ the forked stick with which his
forbears plowed in the days of King
Tut—Ankh-Amen, 3,000 years ago.

The main improvement, says Don
Grim, an Ohio boy who went to
India in 1915 and now is agricul-
tural engineer for the Rajah of
Gwalior, a central native state, is in
the addition of an iron point to the
sharp end of the stick. A plow like
this goes 2 inches deep, and will not
cover more than a third of an acre
in a 12—hour day. Oxen pull it.

The plow is also used for a grain
drill, this by the addition of a sort
of funnel with a lang spout. The
farmer drives the oxen, and his wife
walks beside the implement drop—
ping grains down the funnel at what
she judges to be the proper rate.
Then when the crop comes up the
plow comes in for its third use; it
is used as a cultivator. .

In harvesting and threshing,
methods are equally antique. The
first modern thresher, demonstrated
in the province only last year,
aroused so much interest that it took
ten armed m or the local constabu-
lary, with bayonets timed, to handle
the crowds... Meet threshing is done
by the hoofs of oxen, and it takes

Our New Wire'Has Double the Heat Treatment ‘3 the Zinc Bath—the
Proper and Only Way to Give a Heavier Coating with Lasting Quality

This new galvanizing insulates the wire with zinc, or spelter.

The wire

passes through a long molten bath where it accumulates this greater protective
coating, thus insepembly uniting the zinc with the steel.

You know, of course, that all fence wire is galvanized-no protect it from
rust-10 make it last longer, in all kinds of weather.

Perhaps you don t know that there’ 3 as much difference in galvamzed
coatings as there 15 in the thickness of bark on trees.

It 15 not only the amount of zinc applied that gives the wire long life, but
the coating must be uniform and even to be durable and made inseparably a

part of the steel.

The temperature of the bath, the great length of time the wire takes to pass

“through it, the great amount of zinc that can be applied by this process without

cracking or peeling—111 these are important factors.

Our Zinc Insulated Wire Fences Have 40%
to 100% More Zinc Than Other Fences

Our Zinc-Insulating process perfectly
protects the wire. It repels rust. It
protects the wire from the oxygen in
the air and the storm elements. It
safeguards the steel.

By this process the zinc is practically
a part of the steel, giving it a super-
protection that adds many years to the
life of the wire. As a result, OUR
WIRE FENCE WILL OUT-
LAST ANY OTHER WIRE
FENCE MADE, and its use greatly
reduces your fence cost per year—to
say nothing of the better protection
its staunchness and sturdiness insures.

All our Farm Fences—of every
brand — American, Royal, Anthony,
National, Ellwood and U. S. ~11!
Zinc-insulated—at no extra charge.

Some wire fence makers market sev-
eral qualities—a very small percentage
of their total production bearing even
good galvanizing, and that usually
sold at a marked price advance. It all
looks alike. You can’t tell the grades
apart. We make one grade only.

When you buy this ZINC INSU-
LATED FENCE you are purchas-
ing added years of fence service, with-
out extra charge.

Your local dcaler sells Zinc Insulated F once and we stand back of

him for your protection.

A barking dog however near,
Of sleep can never cheat.

Dear Mother, but I've noticed this

That always wide—awake she is

The moment baby cries.

However weary she may be,

Though wrapped in slumper deep,
Somehow it always seems to me

Her Virgil she will keep.

It in her heart there lies
A love that causes her to wake,

The moment baby cries.

A PLACE TO WASH UP
OST people hate to go all the
way up stairs to the bathroom
or bedroom washtsand just
to wash their hands or freshen up
before a meal The boy who natural-
ly ignores his dirty hands until he
is sent from the table groans and
stamps all the way up and down;
it is such a lot of trouble! And the
men, coming in from the field or
shop or garden work are apt to
“track up” the house if they can not
have a place to wash somewhere
near the back door. Children can
not take time from their play for
washing faces unless a basin is pro-
vided very close to the yard. And
mother herself, climbing stairs a
dozen times a day, finds a trip up
for hand—washing just the last straw
that breaks a tired back.

And yet the kitchen sink is not the
right place for all these necessary
ablutions. The chief excuse for per-
forming them there is that the wa-
ter is handy. The idea of cleansing
the skin where fruit and vegetables
must be washed and dishes set dOWn
is not pleasant. Usually the people
trying to clean up are in the way just
before meal—time; and there is a
great temptation among the mascu-
line members of the family to dry
the hands either all on the same

’ roller towel or to -take the tea
towels!

Some sort of special washing-up
place either on the back porch or in
a corner or alcove of the kitchen is
clearly necessary in every house
where this problem occurs. In
houses where there is running water
the question is often easily solved
by putting a lavatory somewhere on
the ground floor—~in a closet or at
the end of the hall, or in some room
where space can be spared A very
good location is just inside a side
entry which often occurs halfway
down the steps leading to thé’ cellar.

Farm housewives in Virginia who
took part last year in home improve—
ment contests directed by extension
workers of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture and the Virginia
Polytechnic InStitute, solved this
Washing up problem in a number of
ways. 'One woman put the usual
basin, bucket and soap on a bench on
the screened—in back porch, and
above it hung a medicine cabinet
with a mirror in which were kept
brushes, combs and other necessary
toilet articles. A towel bar below
provided a place for the individual
towels.

Another woman placed a washstand
in a storeroom opening off the kitch-
en, so that it was easily accessible
and yet not conspicious. In a third
home an old unsightly box for stor—
ing away shoes, rubbers, and other
small articles was fitted with a shelf,
painted white, and screened with a
curtain of oilcloth bound with blue
cretonne. This stand provided -a
place for keeping the basin and
pitcher out of sight when not in use.
When wanted they were easily set
on top of it.

A fourth kitchen had a small ex-
tension, practically an anteroom
which Was useless except as a pass-
ageway. This was fitted with a
child’s shelf, built to suit the child’s
height, and provided with a bucket
of water, basin and soap dish. 'There
was a hook for a towel nearby. A
lower shelf was put up to keep his
'overshoes on, and hooks at the right
level “were put on the'op‘posi'te wall
for the boy's cap and coat. The

when it is meal—time. If you have
found a new and efiicient way let us
all share With you the knowledge.

BE FAIR TO THE BOYS
HE usual spring argument about
taking the boys out of school
and putting them to work in the
fields will soon begin in the farm
home. The father is very busy.
Plowing and planting must be done
on time. It is hard to hire men
that can be trusted with the machin-
ery and horses. Hired men mean
more work in the kitchen for mother
and daughters. The school may not
be interesting. The boys are de-
pendable, like to be out of doors,
and are proud to take a man’s
place and help with the work. That
is the easy, lazy way of looking at
it and the boy gives up his spring
school term and becomes a rural
child laborer. It that occurs two or
three years in succession he has lost
his chance for an education.

The stronger, better way is to sac-
rifice something of the present com-
fort and expediency for the child’s
future welfare. By his work this
spring or next spring the boy may
save to the family two or three dol-
lars a day for a few weeks but he
does it at a very great loss to him—
self and probably to his people. He
is giving up" the time that should be
used to deepen, broaden, and refine
his life. Besides that, if he does not
get proper schooling and enough of
it now, he will not be able to earn as
much as he ought when he becomes a
man. Then he, too, will feel that
his children must give up their
chances for an education and spend
their childhood days at some kind
of labor. So the circle goes on
from father to son. Keep the boy in
school. That may be the way to
bring the entire family to a finer
plane of life.

FOODS FOR A MARCH APPETITE

HIS month sees the end of some

of our morning fruit. Here are

a few suggestions that may help

you keep your health if watched
carefully these days.

Apples soon will be done; and an-
other breakfast delicacy, the baked
apples, will pass for a time. To pre-
vent this misfortune, baked apples
may be canned in the home. Plenty
of empty jars will be available at
this season. The process is easy;
simply bake the apples as usual,
pack them in clean hot sterile jars,
fill the jars with a thin hot syrup
and seal. Take some care that the
apples are kept as Whole as possible.
Rhode Island Greenings and Bald—
wins are good varieties for baking.

Perhaps you’ve had some turnips
or onions in. the cellar? If they
have felt the coming of Spring and
have put forth tender, green young
sprouts, cut them off and use them
in salads. ‘

In cooking stewed prunes you
probably improve them by adding
a dash of lemon juice or a slice of
lemon. Just for a change, try a bit

of tart apple instead of the lemon.

It's merely that a sharp flavor is
needed to offset the mild and natural
sweetness of the prune. However.
with lemon or without, with apples
or rhubarb or alone, don’t, with the
passing of Winter and the coming
of the fresh fruits, don't neglect
prunes. They still have a mission
to perform in your food life. -

. Are you alreadylooking forward

..

to the maple season, and have you
planned your favorite maple desserts
to serve the family? Sometimes
when you are" just “too tired” to fuss
with an elabOrate dessert, try giving
them apiece of fresh bread out about
an inch thick and two or three inches
square, covered generously with
fresh stirred or shaved maple sugar
and served with thin cream. It will
satisfy the family as well as your-
self.

Spring lamb is one of the delicacies
of this season. Why so few people
really care for mint sauce with lamb
is often the talk of the table. It may
be because dried mint is often used
instead of fresh mint, which should
be available at every good butcher-
shop. Two tablespoons of fresh
chopped mint, a tablespoon of sugar,
two of vinegar and six "of water heat—
ed (never boiled) until sugar is dis-
solved make a good mint sauce.

This is a good month to put the
canning equipment in shape, order
new supplies and plan the Summer’s
canning.

As soon as the first daffodils ap-
pear, have some for breakfast—a
few in a low bowl as a table decora—
tion, of course. But even though
not edible, they will have a tonic
effect on the well—known jaded ap-
petite of Spring.

THE PINT JAR DIE’I'HOD HOT

‘LUNCH
HE public health nurse of
Ramsey County, Minnesota,

has a novel plan for serving hot
lunches in the rural schools of her
county,which she calls “The Pint
Jar Method Hot Lunch.” Each child
brings from home some particular
kind of food in a tightly closed Ma-
son pint jar. Upon reaching school
the jar is set on a rack in a clothes
boiler. This-boiler is partly filled
with water and placed on a two-burn-
er oil stove. At the morning recess
the stove is lighted and by noon the
contents of the jars are hot. Then
monitors distribute the jars and the
children supplement the warm dish
with the cold food in their lunch
baskets Each child has his initials
scratched on the cover of his jar
in order to insure identification. The
nurse recommends the following
kinds of foods for the jars: Cocoa,
milk, soups, certain kinds of fruits
and vegetables, macaroni, rice
creamed eggs, baked beans, and
stewed meat. The equipment re-
quired consists of a two-burner oil
stove, a clothes bailer, rack, and hot
can lifter.

 

SAVE TIME ON BUTTONHOLES

UTTONHOLES on a baby’s dress
may be cut off in a strip when
the dress is worn out and sewed

under a tuck in little girls’ blouses.
The buttonholes in little boys’ trous-
ers are made in bands of durable
material and can be ripped out and
sewed into other garments when the
trousers are discarded. Also the
buttonholes in men's shirts may be
ripped off and sewed under a tuck
in children’s aprons.

Do you know of any way we can take

me know through your column as soon
as you can—Mrs. J. A. T., Allegan, Mich.

—I know of no way of removing the ex-
cess smoke from meat that has been
smoked too much. A small amount of
excess smoke from the woods ordinarily
used in smoking should cause no harm.

Green hickory is the best obtainable
wood for smoking. Next comes maple
wood. apple wood, or in fact most any
hardwood. Corn cobs also may be used.
Any of the pine woods or those having a
resinous flavor should by all means be
avoided.

The meat should be hung a considerh
able distance above the fire and it is

—This is something our department can»
not do. Too much unhappiness may be
caused by doing just this thing and I do
not feel we should use our valuable space

It pays, dways, to do right and it never

I want to thank the reader who sent me
the‘ above motto. It is splendid and I
am pleased to know that it is in some of

A FORD
The first car I bought was a little tin
Ford,
And every time I shifted gears it made
the engine roar.

I started down the road one day,
At driving I was green
darned nye ran over everything I seen.

HH

ran down the neighbors chickens,
Also their cats and dogs,

I ran through ditches and over
Stamps and logs.

The only thing that I could do,
Was just to let it spin,

And the way the darned thing rattled.
You would know ’twas made of tin

The way the people talk, about the Ford.
It fairly makes you sore,

They claim that you can buy repairs,
Down at the ten-cent store.

But let th'em say what e’re they please.
There’s no other in their class,
That will go a greater distance,
0n the same amount of gas—than a
.Ford.

The Christening Data—Modern usage

h-general favors delaying the baby's
.mristening until the young mother is con-
venlently able to attend in person. There
is also the religion factor to be taken into
account which in some denominations
makes christening optional during a period
of several years. The first or second
Sunday after birth, fermerly set ~as the
proper day for baptism in the observance
of. the Roman Catholic and Episcopal
Churches, now is not so strictly adhered
to in practice. Though christenings are
most common when the baby is from two
to, six months old, if the child is baptized
when but a few weeks old, the event takes

. on a very intimate home character.

Make no friendship with an angry man;

lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare
to thy soul. Prov. 22:24—25.

Self-pity must be strangled the moment
it is recognized. It is the worm that
dieth not. To indulge in self-pity is to
tear down your strong holds. If yon have
spiritual understanding even in a small
degree. you will know that continued mis-
fortune indicates that something is cloud-
ing your consciousness of Ever—Present
Help. you are engaged in wrong doing, are
holding to the belief that some act of the
past has poiver to harm you, are indulg-
ing in some form of hate, or you are not
protecting yourself as you should “from
the dry darts of evil.” Self—pity has no
place in the divine economy and should be
reckoned with, worry and regrets as
agents of death. No cure can come, nor
harmony be banished while any one of
these three has control of the thoughts.

slou to anydne'who passes that way."

The Wisconsin is a good yielding
barley. Don’t mistake me. It is the
best fielder/that ca‘n be obtained in
quantity in the sthte today. The
point is that the Mich-z-Row was
better. This was a two—rowed bar-
ley, it is true, and some have sald:
“It stands to reason that a six—rowed
barley will yield more. bushels per
acre than a two-rowed variety.”
However, that may be the Mich-2-
Row had enough more heads to the
acre, to more than make up for the
difference. But the Mlch-Z-Row
held its boards in a close cluster out
from the end of the head, and the
heads instead of nodding, stood
straight. Thus, in looking dowu on
the field you new little more than the
ends of the heads. This fact seemed
to have deceived farmers, who did
not stop to look further. Those who
went for enough to get the barley
thrashed have many times been sur-
prised, because they did not think
-that piece of barley could yield so
much. The fact remains that tarm—
ers did not select this variety, and
therefore there is no seed available
at the present time.

The plant breeding work at M. A.
C. has also produced a winter barley,
knowu as the Michigan Winter. This
barley was distributed in 1914. It
came from an individual plant se—
lected in 1910. Up to that time,
winter barley had not been a com-
mercial success north of the Ohio
River. Mr. H. B. Derr, who was
then head of the Barley Investiga—
tion of the U. S.‘ Department of Ag—
riculture believed in winter barley
and believed that it could be made a
success for that purpose and turned
them over to the Michigan Experi-
ment Station in the fall of 1909..
Thus our work with winter barleys
started with these lots of seed. The
seed was planted that fall in what
we call beds. That is, each seed
was individually planted five inches
from any other seed. There were
eight of these beds planted in the
fall of 1909. Two of the eight lots
winter~killed as a. whole the first
season. A third lot was injured
enough to be proven distinctly in-
ferior, and was discarded .as a whole.‘
Individual plant selections were
saved representing the remaining
five sources of seed. These became
mothers of plant rows SOWn in the
fall of 1910. As a result of that
year’s test, a fourth source of seed
was eliminated, and six strains now
represented the remaining four orig-
inal sources of seed, to be replanted
in the fall of 1911. The fall rains
soaked the ground before freezing
and the temperature reached 20 de-
grees below zero. A very large por—
tion of the wheats in Southern Micha
igan were killed or badly injured
that winter, and most of the wheats
on the Michigan Experiment Station
were badly injured. The winter bar-
leys were tested that winter along
side of wheats that winter-killed.
Three of the selections coming from
the Wisconsin Winter, had winter
killed. This left a. selection from
each 0: three sources, but one at
them was discarded as not as good
as the other two, which were again
tested in 1913 and increased in 1914
for distribution that fall. One of
these barleys was distributed as the
Derr Winter and the other as the
Michigan Winter. Farmers have
generally preferred the Michigan
_Wlnter, and that is the only one for
which the Michigan Crop Improve-
ment' Association could furnish seed
this tall. During the season: 1913-
1915, the Michigan Winter averaged
58.9 bushels per acre on the experi-
mental plats at M. A. C. and in 1916
seven acres of Michigan Winter av—
eraged 69.3 bushels. per acre. When
compared on the basis of pounds of
grain per acre, 59 bushels of barley
equals 88.5 bushels of cats.

I could cite many good things
that farmers have said about this
barley in the first few years after
distribution but the fact temalns.
that most of these people have no-
glected to grow it. The principal
reason in my mind is that if planted
late it is l urea by the winter. Even.
as late as . 0 plant wheat. Is not note.

In the year of 1893 I

Rheumatism. I suffered
as only those who are
thus affllcted know, for
over three years. I tried
remedy after remed ,
but such relief as I o
tainedwas only tempor-‘
ary. Fmally, I found. a
treatment that cured
me completely, a {1d
such a pltlful condltlon

were the same as in my

' increasing in favor. If the
Ilchigan Winter barley can be prop-
erly planted during the latter days
of August, it warrants more serious
consideration among farmers, at
least in a small way.

There are three improved varie-

ties of barley that can be gotten,

through the Michigan Crop Improve-
ment Association. Address the Sec—
rotary at East Lansing in season.
The Michigan Black Barbiess and
' Wisconsin Pedigree can be obtained

(Continued from Page 4)

the end of the second or third week. I
This change should be made grad-
ually by substituting a small Quan-
tity of skim milk for whole milk in
the daily ration. About a week or
ten days should'be taken for this
change. In this way the calf Will
go off the" whole milk gradually and
will not_have a distaste for the skim
milk. '
Temperature of Milk
Care should always be taken to
have the milk warm and sweet; ,es-
pecially is this necessary when feed—
ing the young" calf. As the calf
grOWS older it will do just as Well
on cooler milk if it is fed at the
same temperature every day. The
right temperature for the milk fed
the young calf is blood heat, 100°F.
The milk should be as nearly this
temperature as it is possible to. get
it. There is no way by which the
digestive system of the young calf
can be upset more easily than by
feeding cold milk at one meal and
warm milk at another. If there is
any doubt about the temperature, or
if the milk has to be warmed at all,
the thermometer should be used.
Judging the temperature of milk by
putting the finger into it is not sat-
isfactory. Milk at 90° F. will feel
warmer on a cold morning than it
will on a warm morning, and the
calf’s digestive system is very sens—
itive to any change. It is also im-
portant to feed sweet milk. One
feed of sour milk may upset the di—
gestive system of the young calf for
months, and one feed of such milk
often causes t e death of the calf.
It is better to st the calf miss one
or even two feeds than to, feed it on
sour milk, however, they may be
raised on sour milk entirely after
the first few weeks, but if sour milk
is fed it should contain about the
same acidity at all times.
Clean Pails Necessary
The pails from which the milk is
fed should be kept as clean as poss-
ible. They should be kept as clean
as the milk utensils. It any milk
is left in them it will sour, and the
calf will soon show the effects. The
pails should be thoroughly cleansed
and sterilized often.
Length of Time to Feed Skim Milk
The length of time that the calf
should be fed on skim milk will de-
pend upon the amount of skim milk
available for this purpose. Some
feeders wean their calves at four
months of age, but it is a better
practice to feed skim milk until the
calves are six months old. If one
has an abundance of skim milk it is
a profitable practice to feed ~heifers
until they are eight months or a
year old. This will insure a better
growth and better development.
Many feeders give their calves as
much as twenty—five to thirty
pounds of skim milk per day when
four to six months of age. This,
however, is a wasteful practice.
Eighteen or twenty pounds per day
is all that can usually be fed profit-
ably.

 

Feeding Grain and Hay
At the time the calf is changed
from Whole milk to skim milk it will
begin to eat grain. The best way
to get the calf started eating grain
is by placing a little grain in its
mouth after it has consumed its
mflk. It will like the taste of grain,
and will soon eat without assistance
if the grain is placed withinits
reach. Some feeders practice the
feeding of grain with the milk. This
is a. serious mistake, especially if
the grain consists of corn or other

starchy feed. Such feed as corn

 

must be acted upon by the saliva of

 

 

the mouth in order to insure its
proper digestion. When the grain
is fed with the milk the calf simply
gulps it down and does not masti—
cate it in the least. In such cases
indigestion often follows. When
the calf once begins to eat grain
readily, only such an amount should
be given it as will be cleaned up at
each meal. Here again the appetite
of the calf is the best guide as to

betterfat. Corn contains a high per
cent of this material, and on account
of its low cost in, the corn belt it is
the logical grain to feed with skim
milk. Many farmers and dairymen
make the mistake of feeding linseed
oil meal with skim milk, as the only
grain or concentrate fed. This mis-
take is made on account of the idea
that some have regarding the com-
position of oil meal. Many assume
that oil. meal contains a high per
cent of oil, which will replace the
fat that has been taken out of the
milk. Linseed oil meal is valuable
for feeding on account of the high
content of protein. Itdoes not con-
tain a very high per cent of oil. Oil
meal may be fed in connection with
corn, but this is not necessary, and
it is very expensive. The corn has
invariably given the best results as
a supplement to skim milk. When
teaching the_ calf to eat grain it is
better to use ground corn, as the
calf get a little older shelled corn
may be fed. ,
Hay should be kept before the
calf after it is two weeks old. At
this age the calf will begin to nibble
at the hay, and will soon consume
quite a’little of it. The eating of
hay should be encouraged by keep-
ing nice clean, bright hay within the
reach of the calf at all times. For
calves under two months of age,
mixed or timothy hay is better than
alfalfa or clover.,The latter are us—
ually too laxative and have a tend-
ency to produce scours. After the
calf is two or three months old it
will do much better on alfalfa and
will eat a great deal more of it than
of the mixed hays. If alfalfa can
not be had at this time, good clover
or cowpea hay should be fed. If
the calf is on pasture it will not be
necessary to feed any hay.

The Calf Needs W'ater

Clean, fresh water should be pro~
vided at all times. Many feeders
assume that the calf does not need
water on account of drinking milk.
It will consume a large amount of
water even after drinking fifteen or
tw‘enty pounds of skim milk per
day.

Calf Scours

The most common disease of the
young calf is indigestion, or scours.
Naturally the digestive system of.
the young calf is weak and is very
easily upset. The old adage, “An
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure,” is very applicable
here. .

There are two kinds of scours
that commonly afiect the young
calf—white scours, sometimes call—
ed calf cholera, and common scours,
caused from indigestion. The White
scours is a contagious form, and if
the calf becomes affected at all it is
within a few days after birth. The
remedy for this disease is a prevent—
ative one, and the best way to in-
sure against it is to keep the stalls
and pens clean. Stalls used for
calving purposes should be cleaned
and disinfected after each calf is
born. Additional precaution should
be taken by tying a string around
the navel cord of the young calf im—
mediately after it is born, and ap—
plying some good disinfectant to the
exposed parts. '

The common scours, or indiges—
tion, may usually be traced to faulty
methods in feeding the young calf.
The principal causes are as follows:
overfeeding, feeding cold milk, ir—
regular feeding, feeding alfalfa or
other highly nitrogenous hay to the
young calf, using dirty pails, and
dirty stables.

Many cases of ordinary scours or
indigestion are caused by the calf
lying on the cold cement or damp
cold bedding in the stall. The same
effect is noticed when calves are
turned out in the lot or pasture
early in the spring before the
ground is warm. They lie on the
cold ground, their stomachs get
cold, and scours inevitably result.

The first sign of indigestion or
scours among calves is usually the
characteristic foul-smelling dung.
When a calf shows the first signs of
scours the milk should be reduced
one-half or more, and then gradual-
ly increased again as the calf im-
proves. This method of treatment
is usually sufilcient to check a mild
case. There have been many rem-
edies suggested for treatment of the
scours, and all are used with more
or less success. The feeding of dried
blood to calves has proved very ef-

milk at each food on account of its
feedingvsiue' as well as its value as
preventative treatment against the

‘scours. A fresh egg given to the

calf when the scours is first noticed
often checks the attack. Castor
oil is also used with good results.
Two tablespoonfuls is sufficient
for a dose. This may be given as a
drench with milk.

Feeding After \Weaning

After the calf is weaned from
milk the grain ration. should be
somewhat changed. The object in
forming a grain ration for any
growing animal is to feed it bone
and muscle-forming feeds. The grain
ration at this time will depend upon
the kind of roughage fed. If alfal-
fa is used the calves will do well on
a ration of corn alone, or corn and
oats mixed, or corn and bran. If
mixed or timothy hay, cane or corn
fodder is fed, the grain ration
should be changed some what. More
nitrogenous foods, such as bran, lin—
seed oil meal and cottonseed oil
meal should make up the grain ra-
tion. If the calves are stunted by
lack of proper food at this time
they will usually develop in under-
sized cows. During the pasture
season calves under a year old will
make a more satisfactory grthh if
fed a grain ration while on grass.
Yearlings and two year olds will
make satisfactory development on a
good pasture where a liberal amount
of clovers abound

Young heifers should not be al-
lowed to become too fat, they should
be kept growing at all times, but a
heifer that gets too fat before she is
bred usually does not develop prop-
erly. After the heifer is bred she
may be allowed to put some flesh
on, particularly during the two or
three months just before calving.

Exercise is a very important fact:
or in the development of the young
heifer. They should spend the
greater part of their time in the
open after they become a year old.
Many dairymen follow the practice
of keeping their milk cows either in
the barn or in small lots all the
time, but this practice does not give
best results with the growing heif-

ers.
Age of Breeding

The age to breed the heifer will
depend first upon the breed and
second upon her development. Jer-
sey, Guernsey, or other early ma-
turing breeds should be bred to
calve about twenty-four months of
age if fully developed. Heifers be-
longing to the Holstein, Ayrshire, or
other late maturing breeds should
have their first calves at about
twenty-six to twenty-eight months
of age. It is a better practice to
have heifers calve early rather than
late. The heifers calving early us-
ually develop into more typy indi-
viduals, late calving tends to pro-
duce coarser animals that are par-
ticularly full or coarse over the
shoulders and they usually retain
this heaviness through out their
life.

Bradshaw- tell of her exper-
ience- in her own words:

“Gentlemen: I see reports of so

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

tell. my experience. I used to lose a

’- great many from this cause, tried

many remedies and was about dis-

“ couraged. As a last resort I sent to

the Walker Remedy 00.. Dept. 680.
Waterloo, Iowa. for their Walko
White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two

' 50c packages, raised 300 White WY-

andottes and never lost one or had
one sick after giving the medicine
and my chickens are larger and
healthier than ever before. I have
found this company thoroughly re-.
liable and always get the remedy by
return mail.—Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw,
Beaconsfleld, Iowa.”

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the
Bacillus Bacterium Puller-um. This

era and, therefore, too much care
; cannot be exercised in deciding up-
on the hatchery from which to buy.

Officials of the United States De-
.partment of Agriculture have ob-
served that practical poultry raisers
and farmers are relying upon the
~hatcheries more and more each suc-
ceeding year as a source of supply
for their new crop of chicks. In
other words, each year sees fewer
and fewer chicks hatched under hens
and the mammoth hatcheries are
taking the place. to a certain extent.
of the smaller incubators which are
commonly operated on the farms.
It is because of the fact that farmers
are buying baby chicks from the
commercial hatcheries in such large
numbers that the officials of the de-
partment fell the necessity for urg-
ing them to exercise great care in
deciding upon where to buy this
year’s supply of chicks.

At the same time it should be
pointed out that many farmers, per-
haps the majority, will still find it
more economical to do their own
hatching. This is especially the
case where the farm flock is of good
standard quality and has been bred
for egg production. A farmer hatch-
ing his own chicks knows the qual-
ity of chicks he can expect.

The commerical hatchery business
has developed to a very remarkable
extent in the United States in the
last two years. Some of the hatchery
men have estimated that practically
double the number of baby chicks
will be hatched in mammoth hatch-
eries this year compared with last.
There is a great increase in the
number of hatcheries, each varying
in capacity from a few thousand to
several hundred thousand chicks.

The question of importance to a
purchaser of baby chicks is the
source of supply of eggs for the
hatcheries. Many of the hatcheries
have their business well organized
and are able to guarantee the qual-
ity of the chicks. Some of the hatch-
eries, however, are not.so particular
Where they purchase the eggs they
use and are not able to guarantee
high-quality chicks.

Purchasers of baby chicks would
be well advised, officials of the de-
partment say, to make sure of pur-
chasing from a reliable hatchery.
Only purebred chicks should be
bought and in addition to this, the
purchaser should insist upon a sat-
isfactory statement from the hatch-
ery man as to the quality of eggs
used. Were the eggs from a stand-
ard-bred flock with trap-nest records
and was the flock in good breeding
condition? Purchase baby chicks
with great care. It is better to pay
a few cents more for good quality
chicks than can be guaranteed.

FIRST CARE OF BABY CHICKS
HIS is the season of the year
when arrangements must be
made to raise chicks to replen-
ish the poultry flocks. Pullets are
the most profitable part of the lay-
ing flock and a well-balanced laying
flock should consist of at least half
pullets; which allows careful cull-
ing of the hens during the summer
and fall before the pullets are ma—
tured, according to the United
States Department of. Agriculture.

Baby chicks need especially care—
ful attention in breeding and feed-
ing during the first weeks of their
lives, which should be followed by
careful and regular attention throu-
ghout their growing period. Early
hatched chicks are by far the most
profitable whether grown to matur-
ity for laying or sold as poultry
flesh. ‘

The brooder house and stove heat-
er which are used for caring for the
chicks during the first few weeks of
their lives, must be in working ord-
er before the chicks arrive. The
most common style of breeding is
the use of a stove brooder in a col-
any house, keeping from 350 to 500
chicks in a flock in each house, and
placing the houses about 160 feet
apart on a good
house

Chicks should not be fed for the
first 36 to 48 hours, after which
they should be supplied regularly 4
or 5 times daily with easily digested
feed which cuntains little waste ma-
terial. They should be fed sparing—
ly until about the 5th day; then
they can be put on a full ration. An
excellent feed can be made of infer-
tile eggs taken from the incubator
boiled for 15 minutes, chopped and
mixed with a dry mash of equal
parts. of cracker meal, bran and
corn meal, using a sufficient amount
of the grain to make a dry, crumbly
mixture. Middlings can be used in
place of the cracker meal. Dry
rolled oats are excellent for chicks
and' can be used as one feed, the
other two or three feeds being the
commercial chick grains.

At two weeks of age the chicks
can be given a dry mash, in a hop-
per, consisting of 4 parts, by weight,
of rolled oats, 2 parts bran, 2 parts
corn meal, 1 part high-grade meat
scrap, 1 part middlings, and 17$ part
dried buttermilk. Commercial chick
feed should be fed three times daily
in addition to the dry mash.

Milk is an excellent feed for
chicks and should be provided eith-
er as a liquid or in the dry form to
secure best growth. If liquid milk
is available the dried milk can be
ommitted. When the chicks are
one month old they should be fed
a coarser or intermediate chick
grain, and at about two months of
age the scratch feed can be changed
to equal parts of Wheat and crack-
ed corn. This should be fed two or
three times a day.

PROF. FOREMAN COUNTS EGGS
BEWRE THEY ARE LAID
ENS are no mystry at all to Prof.
E. C. Foreman, head of the
poultry husbandry department

of the Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege.

Prof. Foreman not only can tell
how many eggs a hen has laid dur—
ing the last year, but how many
she probably will lay during the
coming 12 months.

At poultry shows Prof. Foreman
frequently astonishes experienced
breeders with his accuracy in esti—
mating the number of eggs laid in
the preceeding 12 months by a given
hen. Usually his estimate is within
five or six of the actual number, re—
corded by means of a trap-nest.

“It all comes from practice,” he
said. “One must make observations
from trap-nesting and judge accord—
ingly. And it isn’t enough to say
a hen is long-headed or short—head—
ed. One must see deep into her
nature.”

Prof. Foreman judges a hen’s egg-
laying ability from three stand-
points—intensity, or the number of
eggs per month; endurance, or the
number of months during the year
she can maintain her performance;
and interruptions, due to broodiness
and other causes.

Intensity of production he gauges
mostly by the head.‘ There are sev-
eral distinct types of heads. Birds
that are crow-headed are usually
slow to mature. Some have heads
overly refined and these produce
weight rather than eggs. The heads
of some are sluggish and coarse in
appearance, indicating beef type.
Such birds are similar to the beef
reeds of cattle. Hens with a mas—
culine type of head are apt to be
diseased and usually do not pro-
duce any eggs. Birds with beads
lacking in distinctive characteris—
tics are not good egg producers.
But those with refined, well-propor-
tioned heads, wide-open, protruding
eyes and ciert expression, may be
depended upon to produce the maxi-
mum number of eggs in a month.

Endurance is indicated by body
conformation, which in the best
hens resembles that of a. dairy cow,
muscular rather than fat, with a
broad,_flat back; long, deep, flat
ribs, giving a. wedge— —shaped body;

and oreast.

Broodiness usually accompanies a.
round skull, following the outline
of the eye, and the presence of a
prominent bone structure over the
eye. It is natural for hens to be-
come broody and a greater persecut-
age of the eggs of such hens hatch.
However, they are not the. hens that

FOOTE’S MARKET LETTER

BY w. w. room

Michigan Wealth Doubled
TIRE wealth of Michigan and
Maine more than doubled in
the decade from 1912 to 1922,
as shown by the census bureau, but
Maine's per capita wealth shows a
larger increase than that of Michi-
gan Statistics for the two states
have just been made public. Mich-
igan’s wealth at the close of 1922
was "1,340,150,000, an increase of
116.7 per cent over 1912. The per
capita wealth was $2,888, and in—
crease of 59.5 per cent. Maine‘s
wealth was $2,006,531.000, a gain
of 100.1 per cent. The per capita
wealth was $2,586, an increase of
94.1 per cent. To this it may be
.added that the Michigan farmers are
as a class progressive and determin-
ed to make their farms yield more
than in the past. They will stick
to raising beans as one of the lead-
ing crops, and while realizing the
importance of growing fewer acres
of wheat than in recent years, will
not abandon that grain because the
country has overdone that industry
since the war. Diversified farming
is planned as the most promising
scheme, and fruits and berries will
unquestionably continue a big
source of revenue. At the present
time the sheep industry is especial-
ly attractive to farmers in Michigan,
and those who own flocks of well
bred sheep are extremely fortunate,
prices having undergone enormous
advances recently because of greatly
inadequate marketings, with wool
an important factor, as well as mut-
ton. It should be added to what
has been said that the existing farm-
ing conditions in Michigan are ex-
tremely varied, and many farmers
have undergone hard experience,
causing many farmers to leave
farms untenanted. It is believed,
however, that better times are com-
ing, and a hopeful feeling is express—
ed in all parts of the state. Financ-
ial conditions have improved, and
farmers entitled to credit are ac-
commodated at ruling interest rates.
High wages check the hiring of farm
helpers, and the average farmer is
managing to get along with little
outside help except at harvest time.
Not many farms are changing own—
ership, and war time prices for land

cannot be obtained by sellers.

Important Government Statistics

The aggregate value of crops and
live stock products, including ani-
mals raised, produced in the United
States last year is estimated at $12,-
804,000,000 by the United States
department of agriculture. This
was $960,000,000 more than the
estimate for 1922. The total in-
cludes $9,953,000,000 for crops, and
$8,111,000.000 for animal products,
less an allowance of $3,860,000.000
which is the estimated value of
crops fed to live stock. The crop
value last year was larger than for
any year prior to 1917, the year the
United States entered the world
war, and was larger than for 192.1
The value of live stock
products exceeded that for every
year before 1918, and also for 1921
and 192.2. The distress of wheat
growers is shOWn by the estimate of
the value of the 1923 wheat crop
which is $726,000,000, compared
with $874,000,000 in 1922 and with
$2,080,000.000 in 1919. Corn was
the largest single item of value, be-
ing $2,222,000,000 compared with
$1,912,000,000 in 1922. Other im-
portant items in the cereal group
were oats, of an estimated value of
$539,000,000 compared with $479,-
000,000 in 1922, and barley $107,-
000,000 compared with $96,000,000
in 1922.

Swine was the outstanding item
of value among animals raised, be—
ing estimated at $1,145,000,000
compared with $1,273,000.000 in
1922. Cattle had an estimated value
of $924,000,000 compared with
$975,000,000 the preceding year.

are slower to sell wheat ”short”
than was the case earlier in the
year. Crop conditions begin to be
more talked about, and semis of
winter wheat . from Champlain
County, Illinois, show the plant was
winter killed, the crown being soft
and rotten. Thus far most of the bad
crop news has come from Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, while
favorable reports have come from
Kansas and Oklahoma. Reductions
in the visible wheat supply in the
United States are slow, the stocks
in sight being close to 64,000,000
bushels,_comparing with 47,507,000
bushels a year ago. Canada has a
large exportable wheat surplus, and
this country is above an export basis,
although fair north American exports
of wheat and flour were made a short
time ago. Hopes have been enter~
tained by owners that placing a de—
cidedly higher duty on wheat and
flour imports would help to place
values on a higher basis, the market
being on a domestic basis, whereas
in former years our experts really
Recent sales
of wheat were rat-decidedly lower
prices than a year ago, and it is re-
called that two years ago wheat for
May delivery sold on the Chicago
market as high as $1.50 per bushel.
Obviously, the proper course for our
farmers to follow at this time is to
curtail their wheat acreage and
thereby help to bring about pro—war
smaller crops and correspondingly
better prices. The general belief
is that the spring wheat acreage
will show a fairly large reduction
from that of 1923. The tariff ques-
tion on Wheat has been settled by
the" announcement of the President,
the duty on wheat being advanced to
12 cents, making it 42 cents. The
import duty on flour is fixed at $1.04
‘per 100 pounds, a raise of 26 cents.
The new duties take effect in thirty
days. To help stock feeders, the
import duty ’on mill feeds is reduced
50 per cent ad valorm.

Wheat Statistics

Farm reserves of wheat of 123,-
000,000 bushels as shown by the
Snow-Bartlett-Frazier report, are the
smallest since 1918, and compare
with 153,000,000 bushels last year.
States west of the Rockies have
6,000,000 bushels more than a year
ago and those east have 37,000,000
bushels less. There is a. marked
shortage in reserves in the Dakotas
and Minnesota, where farm holdings
are 158,593,000 bushels, or only
about sufficient for seed require-
ments, compared with 44,036,000
bushels last year. After allowing
for the ‘balance of the season, B. W.
Snow estimates that there are 94,—
000,000 bushels for export to July
1 and for carryover, compared with
101,000,000 bushels actually on
hand July 1, 1923. Reserves of
corn are 1,165,000,000 bushels
against 1,092,000,000 bushels last
year, and of oats 447,000,000 bushels
against 421,000,000 bushels in 1923.

Good prices for Corn

High prices for corn have caused
rather extensive selling by farmers
who had more than they required
for feeding to their stock, and the
visible supply has increased material-

/’1y, exports from our shores continu’
ing small, whereas a. year ago they
were of good proportions. Corn is
fetching decidedly better prices than
last year, while a little more than
two years ago May corn sold on the
Chicago Board of Trade for 62%
cents. Much corp has been fed on
terms, but much is left, although
Bttle corn grown in 1922 was carried
over to the following cron year. For
weeks there has been activity in or-
nailing coca farm. is m? and,

prices are not especially high. The
visible rye supply in the United
States is reported at, 21,205,000
bushels, comparing with only 14,-
954,000 bushels a year ago. Ruling
prices are much below those of a
year ago, but very little is exported,
whereas last year it was exported
freely. May corn sells around 81
cents, comparing with 74% cents a
year ago. May oats sell at 48 cents,
compared with 44% cents a year
ago. May rye sells at 71% cents,
comparing with 83% cents last
year. May wheat sells at $11135,
comparing with $14935 a year ago.

Begs Mest'in Four Months

A wonderful change has taken
place in the hog industry, and form-
er huge marketings and fast declinv
ing prices have been followed by a
great falling on in marketings and
a real boom in values, with sales at
the highest figures recorded in four
months. All this seems surprising
and comes as an unexpected boon to
great numbers of stockmen in the
corn belt states. Eastern packers
bought freely, taking an unusually
large percentage of the daily offer-
ings in the Chicago market, and this
outside competition was a great help
In advancing the better class of
swine. Bad country roads account
for much of the falling off in mar-
ketings, while in most hog growing
districts remaining holdings are
much reduced. Offerings averge up
well in quality and the bulk of the
Chicago sales cover a price range of
25 cents, the best light bacon hogs
selling 15 cents under the best
butchers. Recent receipts have av-
eraged 229 pounds, or within a.
pound of the lightest since January,
1922. In Sympathy with the great
fall in hog prices, provisions are far
below prices of a year ago and have
an enormous sale at home and
abroad. Hogs on the Chicago mar-
ket have been bringing $6.50 to $7.—
70, comparing with $7.10 to $8.50
a year ago. Combined receipts in
markets for the year

*Fat Cattle Sell High

Prices for beef cattle have ruled
very high in recent weeks, with
plenty of the other kinds offered on
the Chicago market, but not many
of the best heavy long fed steers or
prime yearling steers and heifers.
The bulk of the beef steers sold
quite recently at $8.25 to $11, with
the best weighty steers selling at

$11 to $12 and no good steers taken '

below $9.50. The best yearling
steers sold for $10.25 to $11.25,
and sales were made down to $6.75
to $7.75 for the commoner lots of
light steers, with inferior little
steers .selling at $4.75 to $6.65.
Butchering cows and heifers had a
good demand at $3.85 to $9.35, can-
ner and cutter cows selling at $2 to
$3.75, bulls at $3.50 to $7.25 and
calves at $5 to $12. Stockers and
feeders are in improving demand,
and good lots are much higher than
a few weeks ago. Common stockers
sell as low as $4.50 to $5.50 and
fair to .good feeders at $7.50 to $9.
.not many going above $8. A large
share of the stockers and feeders
sell at $6.50 to $7.50. A year ago
beef steers sold at $9 to $10 for the
best and nine years ago at $8 to

$8.76. Fewer cattle have beenfw-

keted am you More» one.

CORN

The Detroit corn market is 1:“
about holding its own and the W‘-
ket is steady. Indications are that
there will be a decrease in room ,
soon and dealers are expecting high-
er prices. How long before tilt
change in prices will take place i .
hard to predict. In the meantime
demand is fair.

OATS
Oats followed the trend of nth.
grains and the price declined 1 on“ ‘
during the fortnight ending last “-
urday. The market at Detroit is no;
less at this writing.

Bean prices declined the fore M ~
of the fortnight ending Saturday of
last week but before the closing day
prices were back to the level quoted
in our last issue. The Detroit mar-
ket is firm after an advance of 5
cents last Saturday. Eastern deals *
ers say that recent receipts of good .
foreign beans have stopped any ad—.
vance that might have taken place
in the near future. Trade is not a0.- “

WHAT ABOUT THE
STATE INCOME TAX?

(Continued on Page 3)

graduated income tax would drive
capital out of.. Michigan. It hasnt
worked that way in other states, ev-
en in New York where they have the
triple system of levies mentioned
above.

Why prolong this discussion? It
is apparent that the proposed tax is
a step in the right direction in that
it will help relieve over—burdened
real estate and tend to distribute
the tax burden a little more nearly
in proportion to the individuals
ability to pay. If you agree with
the sentiments expressed in this ar-
ticle, the first step is to see that the
necessary 60,000 signatures (and
preferably several thousand more)
are secured to the initiatory peti-
tions. The ,next job is to put the
thing over big at‘ the November elec-
tion next fall. ‘
