By continuing its service to the farmer from year to year, the Ford organization is realizo ing the Ford ideal—“greatest service to the most people”. To accomplish this, the Ford organization has acquired and controls vast timber lands, coal and iron mines, transportation routes, and channels of distribution; built giant factories, mills, foundries, furnaces, warehouses, docks and power plants. Without these vast Ford resources, the Fordson Tractor could not be sold for so little, could not give so much in superior quality and service. The Fordson Tractor does more, for less money, than any other farm power unit. It is a prac— tical, time-saving aid in plowing, harrowing, planting, mowing, harvesting, threshing, road— mending and scraping, timber-cutting and sawing, hauling, pumping, excavating—in fact every duty the farmer must perform which requires power. The Fordson Tractor makes farming easier and more profitable. The Fordson Tractor enables more work to be done in less time, thus permitting the farmer to have more leisure for making his life and the lives of his family hap- pier and more abundant. By thus lightening the farmer’s burden, the Fordson Tractor renders its great service to the American farmer. .u .1. ‘ aflh‘amd'fl'dfl‘ HKHEO k ' HP‘I-lflflt-l‘ HMMV‘MHHDHH HHmO BLHdnHO flfl‘dlflud OHBAP-‘HH‘Q meat-Pd" PHI-'BHH (5.9-1 “LII-in as him Owning and operating coal and iron mines, timber lands, saw mills, coke ovens, foundries, power plants. blast furnaces, manufacturlng in- dustries, lake transportation, game! mines, glass and wood distilla— , (ion plant and dltca beds.

Published nit-Weekly It. Clemens, Mich. TWO YEARS ‘1, to Worse David Friday, Former President of M. C. Says “American Agriculture Has Seen Progress I Which Never Before Was Witnessed [By Any Group Which Tilled the Soil” MERICAN agriculture has just A turned a corner, Dr. David Fri- day, Washington, D. C., econ- omist and former president of Mich- igan Agricultural college, declared in an address before the American Association of joint stock land banks. - “It is the final turn to the right that leads out of the slough of de— pression onto the high road of pros- perity,” he asserted. “It may be that we are facing a decline in the gen- eral price level of all commodities during the next decade or two. It is certain that we will not again see the general up-swing of prices which occurred between 1897 and 1914. “In 1879, in consequence of des— tructive frosts in the spring, and heavy rains all summer in England and France, the price of wheat rose rapidly and our export surplus, un- precedented in volume, sold at a good price. The result was prosper- ity for the farmer, and a revival in American industry generally. The good fortune for the American farmer continued through 1880. “But the price increase could not hold, because agricultural produc- tion in America was outrunning this country’s ability to consume it. In 1906 the improved land had more than doubled in area compared with 1870. What History Shows In 1891 the wheat crop had ex- ceeded more than 600,000,000 bush- els. When the depression of 1893 reduced purchasing prices went to ruinous levels. “Prices began to rise after August of 1896, when news came of a crop failure in India. The next year a scorching drought in France and a Wet harvest in Russia and in the Danube valley cut the Europen crop. America had a good yield and prices advanced still further. “The resultant business revival was arrested for a brief space in 1907-08, but the general trend of prices was upward until 1910. This year initiated an era during which the number of farms actually de- creased. “There are today fewer farms and fewer persons farming than there were 14 years ago. The acreage of improved land is only slightly larg— er. The farmers who fed 60,000,- 000 city folk 14 years ago must feed 80,000,000 today. Supply Boost Seen “The likelihood is that the supply of. their products will increase bare- ly as rapidly as the mouths to be fed. We will therefore, have a dup- lication of the situation which pre— vailed from 1897 on‘. In that per- iod the prices of farm products rose more rapidly than those of others commodities. . “If the general price level of com- modities should decline, what has been said here will lead to the con- clusion that farm prices will decline less than other prices. There is al- ready some evidence that this is tak- ing place. “In April, 1923, farm products. stood at 141. In July, 1924, the latest month available, the price for all commodities stood at 147,‘ a de- cline of 12 points from the highest level reached since the depression of 1922: but farm products are still at 141. .Every single group of com- modities except farm products has declined. - Values Increase "Ainerican agriculture has seen progress which - never before was ' witnessed by any group which tilled . the soil." ; The. linpression that the r“-"_hss been going “ MERICAN agriculture has seen progress which never. before was witnessed by any group which tilled the soil,” says Dr. Friday. .“The impression that the American farmer has been going from bad to worse is arr-ant nonsense. “The I. C. C. has valued 'our railroads at about $20,000,000,000; but the value of farm lands exclusive of buildings is today $28,000,- 000,000 higher than it was in 1900. “The American farmer does not belong to an impoverished class. He is a member of an industry that has done well by him in the past and which promises him increased progress and well-being in. the future. “Agriculture has now been in a state of depression for almost four years. Crop and weather conditions here and abroad have once. more produced a phenomenal rise in the price of cotton, wheat and corn. It is a hopeful Sign for the future of agriculture that this increase has not come about as the result of any political action, but of more funda- mental causes which are likely to continue for some years." from bad to worse is arrant non- sense. “The I. C. C. has valued our rail- roads at about $20,000,000,000; but the value of farm lands exclusive of buildings is today $28,000,000,000 higher than it was in 1900. “The American farmer does not belong to an impoverished peasant class. He is a member of an indus— try that has done well by him in the past and which promises him in- creased progress and well-being in the future. “Agriculture has now been in a state of depression for almost four years. Crop and weather conditions here and abroad have once more produc- ed a phenomenal rise in the price of cotton, wheat and corn. It is a hopeful sign for the future of agri- culture that this increase has not come about as the result of any po- litical action, but of more funda- mental causes which are likely to continue for some years. “That the farmer’s purchasing power for 1924 will be vastly great- er than for 1922 is no longer a mat— ter of dispute. In the cotton—grow— ing sections revival came last year. In the Wheat, corn and hog areas, it has just arrived. The most difficult problem is to decide how long it will continue. “The revival of 1879 lasted a comparatively short time. After 1881 the price trend of Wheat and other farm products was definitely downward once more and continued to fall until 1896. But after 1897 the upward movement continued for 17 years. Then war swept across the current of our industrial life and carried prices to high heaven. What prices will the future bring for farm products? Feeding Silage Made From immature Corn CCORDING to present prospects unless frost holds on much longer than usual there will be many fields of corn that will not ma- ture this year. Suitable prepara- tions should be considered and made now by farmers who are like- ly to face the problem of disposing of a crop of corn that has not ma- tured. The farmer who has livestock to feed and can convert his immature corn into silage is perhaps in a posi- tion to obtain the greatest value from his crop. The results of an experiment con- ducted by James W. Wilson and Arthur H. Kuhlman at the South Dakota Experiment Station should be of interest at this time. ’ A At silo filling time this corn was just beginning to tassel. After a silo had been filled with well matur— ed dent corn, another silo was filled with this very green immature corn. A lot of four yearling range steers was fed a ration of mature corn sil— age, oil meal and eat straw for a period of 120 days while a similar lot received a ration of silage made from the immature corn oil meal and eat straw. While the steers in the first let made very satisfactory gains it was rather surprising to find that those in the second lot made an average daily gain of 2.09 pounds during the 120 day feeding period. The accompanying table summar- izes the results obtained in these 2 lots, lot I being fed mature corn few years ago it was necessary, be— silage and oilmeal and ,lot II im- cause of a very wet season to re— mature corn silage and oilmeal: plant a field of corn on July 15.

But we do know that the prices ~of the future will be determined by the supply of farm products, and by the demand for them. The law of supply and demand still holds, and is more ac- ceptable today than it was six months ago. It is possible at this time to set down some of the chang- ed conditions which govern the sup- ply of farm products; and to fore- cast the course of demand for them. Just “Turned Corner” “The text of this address tonight is ‘l'ilessed is the man who knows history, for he shall be sized with llysteria.’ American agriculture has just turned a corner. It is the final turn to the right that leads out of the slough of depression onto the high road of prosperity. This sounds like bold prophesy, after the exper- ience of the last four years. But any- one who has read history knows that the same thing has happened at least twice before in this country within the last 50 years. It happen- ed in England in 1816 when after a year of debate and legislative en- deavor prices were set right by na- tural forces. “The forces which underlie the supply of farm products consist of the land in cultivation, the number of persons engaged in agriculture. and the efficiency of the methods which they employ. The number of farms and the people engaged in ag— riculture have actually declined since 1910. The number of acres of improved land is only slightly larg— er. “Someone will ask why supply is not certain to lag far behind de- mand throughout this period. The answer is that the improvements in agricultural methods which have been brought about by the scientific research of the department of agri- culture, of the agricultural colleges, and of the experiment stations which they maintain, have greatly increased the efficiency of the farm— ing industry. Can Boost Output “There are today only 15 per cent more people engaged in agriculture than there were in 1900, yet they bring 40 per cent more product measured in actual physical units, in bushels, tons, gallons and dozens. Anyone who is conversant with the possibilities of improvement in the field of agricultural production knows that the number of people now emgaged in farming can in- crease their output to meet the growth of urban population for a de- cade or more to come. The increas- ed price of agricultural products will stimulate the use of fertilizers, machinery, and better methods. Such an increase naturally comes about only gradually, so that there is no danger of a supply in excess of demand at profitable prices. “One of the reasons why a com- parison of mere price levels for ag- ricultural in this year with 1913 is deceptive is to be found in the fact that the output per person engaged. and therefore the number of units of farm products sold at these prices is more than 10 per cent greater than it was before the war. “In 1923 the price level for farm products was only 41 per cent above that of 1913, but the value of farm products exclusive of crops fed to livestock was 71 'per cent larger than 10 years ago. That output per person will continue to increase. At the higher prices which will prevail the prosperity of. our agricultural classes will coume.” continue its upward, as. “my”; :ra_-V LE: 'v‘i 5255"“, 51"“ «.1» < - as; *M.‘ Herman \Vilcox (left) and his son, Frank in their working clothes. STEPPED into the office of Wil- liam Murphy, county agent of Macomb county, just in time to hear him conclude a telephone con— versation with “Will you drive over V to ‘Alfalfaland Farm’ with me in the morning and let me prove to ‘ you it can be done? You will? Al- right, I’ll be along about 8 o’clock. Goodbye.” “Hello,” he said as he hung up - the receiver and motioned me to a chair, “Say, have you ever been out ito ‘Alfalfaland Farm’?” I confess- jed I hadn’t and asked for more in- 'formation about the place. His re- _ 4ply was, “Let’s 110p into the flivver and run out there and then you can see for yourself. It isn’t very far.” So we hopped into the flivver and was on our way. As we “flivvered along" he told me that when I came into his office he was talking to a farmer who declared his land was too sandy to grow alfalfa. He had ; tried it once and he knew it couldn’t ' be done. However “Bill,” as ;County Agent Murphy is known to his friends, knew he could raise it if _he went about it right and had fin- ally got him to consent to visit a. :Qarm where sandy soil was produc- 1, i ' « 2.5;. ‘ ‘ "A Visit Where. Light Sandy Soil Produces Bu ing as fine alfalfa as any land. “Whenever a farmer in this county says he can’t grow alfalfa on his land because it is too sandy I take him to this farm, he said “and near- ly every one I have taken up there has decided to grow some alfalfa.” We drove to Washington, turned to the left and drove west a half mile and then turned to the north. After driving about a mile and a half in that direction “Bill” inter- rupted our conversation on general matters with “Here we are. It’s this [place on the left.” Well he didn’t need to tell me which side of the road it was on. It was like an oasis in the middle of a desert. One could look across a field of alfalfa and it reminded them of the ocean, as the‘alfalfa swayed gently in' the breeze. on the other side of the road it was a different story, about the only crop being mullen with a few spears of grass here and there trying to exist in spite of the drift— ing sands. At “Alfalfaland Farm” As you turn in at the gate and notice the fine buildings and well- kept appearance of the farm the thought comes to you that this farm is the hobby of a rich man and is maintained at a loss. The farm is owned by William Hart, of Detroit, 3. man who has plenty of money, but he is a business man and bought the farm with the idea of making it a business proposition that would \ pay its way. And it has. The farm contains 266 acres and, 12 years ago could have been pur- chased for $30 per acre and until 7 years ago the value showed little change. It was at that time that Mr. Hart rented his farm to Herman Wilcox and his son Frank, and from then on it improved each year until not where once only .mullen grew fine crops of clover, corn, oats and alfalfa are produced. It takes them four years to get a field up to where it produces a good By MILON GRINNELL crop. The first year the field is test- ed and limestone put 011- according to needs and the field is sown to sweet clover. This clover makes fine pasture for the cattle during the second year, then the following spring barnyard manure is put on. the ground plowed and planted to corn. The fourth year fore lime- stone is sown, according to the needs 'of the soil, and alfalfa sown. They harvested 60 acres of alfalfa this year and sowed last spring. Other crops on the farm this year include 70 acres of oats and 45 acres of corn. The work of building up the land has gone forward steadily until they now have only 14 acres to improve. Their work this year was quite ex- tensive, a total of 80‘tons of lime- stone being used. In one field they are experimenting with different fertilizers to determine whether there is anything that they are over- looking. County Agent Murphy has encouraged them very much in the work and has conducted soil tests. The work on the farm is done with both horses and tractor. Dairying Plays Part Three huge silos at the end of the barn indicate that dairying has its place in their program, and an in— spection of the basement of the barn reveals that the latest equip- ment has been installed within. the last year. They have 70 head of cattle on the farm, 40 of which are milking cows. While they have only 15 head of purebred registered cat— tle at present "they are discarding the scrubs and replacing them with purebreds as rapidly as they can. They have been members of the Ma- comb County "Testing Association, No. 1, for two years and they have several cows that place well up to- ward the top as producers. Most of the milk produced by these 40 cows goesto Detroit hospitals. I 1" EW farmers ask the question . why a variety of wheat, oats or i ‘ barley runs out. It the vari- ty is truly pedigreed, it has origin- ted from a single seed, and because these crops are self—fertile all the ' lants in the field have the same 7 ' ualities as the original ancestors. , If the pedigreed variety is the pro- ; ‘duct of an Experiment Station, it is a, superior to the others at least in .a y yield and undoubtedly also in cer- ‘ tain qualities. For instance, a wheat must be a better milling and baking variety as well as a superior yielder. Too often, when a farmer gets a new variety he forgets to clean his drill and probably also forgets to turn his sacks inside out and shake them when he went to get the new seed. The few seeds of another variety that Were left in the drill or 'sack_ cause the grain to be mixed from the beginning. Perhaps there "may also be some seeds from the esame grain on the land. The man- :ure may bring in other grain. Thus the crop is-mixed. The farmer that i. v is careless with these things will no "0th be' careless in harvest and hreshing.

Do Not Let Your Varieties of Pedigreed Seed Lose Their Identity - the They believe in feeding plenty of ensilage to their stock and the three silos keep them well supplied.‘ I By FRANK A. SPRAGG Late Research Professor in Plant Breeding, M. C. ._,__. _ A- A... E recently pu lished a series of articles by the late Prof. Spragg 9‘ 0n the varieties of seed bred for Michigan soils and in this art- icle he explains how varieties run out and how you can prevent it. If not given proper attention a variety will run out in from three to four years and them you must start all over again, that is if you want to raise the most profitable crops. This is perhaps the last article for publication written by the late Prof. Spragg‘. I..._._. .. variety, but the wagon bed may bring in several straws from the old variety which has just been hauled. When a threshing machine finally comes, the grain is threshed first but without cleaning the machine. All the foreign grain that the ma- chine contained is mixed with the new. Perhaps the men feeding the machine found it hard to tell where the new grain left off and the old variety began. Thus two or three ex- tra bundles of the old variety were mixed in. Let this process go on for three or four years. The farmer has changed works with different farm- ers each year, and few scattering straws have brought in new vari- - etie’s." The new variety 'finally loses its identity and one may well wond- er what to call it. At last there is very little of the new variety in the mixture, and the farmer decides that the grain has “run out.” He is right about it. If you have been guilty of letting your variety of grain “run out" or lose its identity as above, I can tell you a better way. In the first place, if you are going to buy an improved variety be sure to turn your sacks inside out and shake off whatever they contain. Remember to do this always when handling high grade seed, as this is a fruitful source of trouble. Clean Out Drill When you are getting ready to drill in‘any grain"‘be"7s'ii're' to pick mper Crops of Alfalfa Hogs too are raised but only on a small iscale at present. Plans are under way to increase their herd as they have found there is money in hogs if handled'right. Their hogs are being fed stale fried cakes and cull beans. I do not know how many of our readers are feeding such a. ration but the condition of the hogs on “Alfalfaland Farm” would indi- cate that farmers who raise hogs and are in a locality where they can 'pur-chagse stale fried cakes by the barrel from a baker at a reasonable figure would be making a wise move if they arranged with the baker for all the stale fried cakes he had each day for pig feed. ' Paid Its Way I asked Frank Wilcox how much it had cost them per acre to put the soil in first class producing condi- tion and his reply was “Nothing, and it has not only paid its own way but has turned a profit. 1 “Of course we have made our mistakes and had out set-backs,” he continued, “but we have wonderful cooperation from Mr. Hart and this is a great help. If every farm own- er cooperated with his tenant like Mr. Hart cooperates with us there, would be less trouble about renting farms.” And a talk with Mr. Harts revealed im to be very enthusiastic over He man and Frank Wilcox , and gave them most of the credit for what is being done on the farm. ‘ Barn Dances I was decided that the barn was not large enough so last spring an addition was built. Upon the com- pletion of the work invitations to attend a barn dance were sent to the neighbors in the surrounding terri-_ tory. The barn was lighted with electric lights and the music furn-‘ ished by a four-piece orchestra and around two hundred people turned out. The space on the barn floor was not needed until they started putting up hay so the floor was kept, (Continued on Page 17) 0n the other side of the fence the soil has been built up and on this side it has not.

Then when all the grain is down into the tubes, run it until the last grain is out. You can now put your pure grain in the box and drill it without danger. In fitting the ground to plant the crop, think what grew on the field: last time. Is there any danger that‘ it will grow again. and you are fitting the land to sow oats or barley, did that piece of land grow any rye or winter wheat last year? If it did, you had best begin fitting the ground in the fall before plowing or disking. Be sure that the wheat or rye iskilled be- fore drilling in the spring grain be- cause if they grow they produce seed that will cause much trouble in after years. When you haul man- ure out onto the field that you are fitting to plant, consider whether there is any grain in this manure‘ that will trouble your crop. Per- hapsyou could put the manure con- taining grain on a. piece that is go- ing into corn and. give yourself a. .chance to cultivate it out and con; trol it in that way.

F., Manchester, Michigan. this case the investment has been near enough equal that the returns shquld probably be bas- ed on each man receiving one-half. However, the cost of wintering the ewes and caring for them through- out the year would be much greater than the cost of pasture, and prob- ably the best way would be to esti- mate the value of the roughage con- sumed during the winter, and the labor required in caring for them, including lambing time.

B. 0 the Editor:——Of all the great nations of the world only Great Britain and the United States fail to produce their sugar at home; the former because of her free-trade proclivlties, and the latter because- ot the almonds of a fixed govern- mental policy concerning domestic sugar production. Prior to the world war, Great Britain was satisfied to import a million and a. half tons of sugar 1. year from countries which were able to produce it more cheaply than it could be produced at home. They had one beet-sugar factory which was a virtual failure because of the fact that the internal or excise tax levied on home produced sugar was equal to the import duty and hence domestic eager enjoyed no protec- tion; but the world war showed Great Britain the folly of depending .upon other countries for her sugar supply and now has reversed her sugar policy with a view of building up a great home industry. Under this new policy the Kelham plant, now in operation, was organ- ized with 500,000 pounds capital, of which the British Government sub- scribed for one-half and guaranteed five per cent interest for 10 years on the remaining half which was taken by the public. The Government al- so loaned the company 125,000 pounds on Second mortgage. The Government also abolished the ex- cise tax on sugar, thus according the industry a protection of 2% cents per 1b., the full amount of im- port duty which it collects on im- ported sugar. Experiments are be- ing conducted in various portion of England and a number of new plants are contemplated. Beets grown in Great Britain are of a higher purity and sugar content and as the tonnage peracre also is greater, if the present fiscal policy is continued, the United Kingdom soon should be independent of the world for its sugar supply, thus leaving to the United States the questionable distinction of being the only great nation in the world which does not produce all its sugar at home—Truman G. Palmer, Sug- ar Statistician, Washington, D. C. HAS THE AUTOMOBILE BECOME A CURSE OR A BLESSING? EAR EDITORz—Has the auto- mobile not taken more out of life than it has given to it? It has taken away intimate home life and simple social pleasures. It has made the sabbath a gala. day instead of a. day of rest and worship. It has developed a speed mania. and lower morals. It has given us empty purses. The family used to gather in sit- ting rooms or kitchen at evening time, to pop corn, make tatfy, eat apples, play games and read. Then after a chapter from the dear, old Bible and a prayer of mingled praise and suppdication retire at reasonable hour so they were clear eyed and refreshed ready to rise at early dawn. How is it now? If there is a. son, the chances are he will take the auto and no one knows where he will go or when he will return. Daughter dons her best and goes in another auto with another man’s son. “Young folks must have a good time.” Father does the chores, mother washes the dishes. Then if not too tired, they sit in the twilight awhile, life. Next morning son is cross and irritable at being routed out to work after father has again done the chores. Daughter is “tired” and sleeps until 10 o’clock. Or the children being younger, the whole family will drive several miles to see the show. Next morning, sleepy eyed youngsters must be hustled off to school when theynwill .think and talk largely that day of the things they saw last . There is nothingeducational about the average show either. Its moral tone is low and suggestive. ,1; gives young people false and ideas of 1118.

Best re- sults are secured by drilling ten to twelve pounds of seed as early in the spring as the ground is in con- dition to receive the drill, or the seed may be broadcasted and dragg— ed in with a spike tooth harrow. Alfalfa seed should be inoculated with culture which may be secured from the Department of Bacteriol- ogy of the Michigan Agricultural College, E. Lansing. The price is 25c per bottle and one bottle con— tains sufficient material to inoculate a bushel of seed. Directions for application accompany the material. In case your field is in need of lime, I would suggest that a proper application be made. If you will send a sample of your soil, tightly enclosed in a baking powder can, to Dr. M. M. McCool of the Soils De— partment, E. Lansing, he will test same for lime determination—J. F. Cox, Professor of Farm Crops, M. A. C.

' All the noisy reception is not due to “static” or atmospheric electric- ‘ it}: nor to run down “B” batteries. These may contribute their share, but just a speck of dirt can and does cause more noise in your receivers than all the others. Following is a list of places that should be kept absolutely clean at all times; no dust should be allowed to gather or remain on any moving part or joint: Condensers: Keep all dust of! the moving and stationary plates. Joints: Where bare wire or metal makes contact and not soldered small dust particules cause leakage of current and efficiency with poss- ible noise. Contact: Where switch blades make contact, dirt and grease will cause losses of energy and result in noise. Dust should be brushed or wiped out from between each switch contact point. Sockets: Dirty or corroded spring contacts—making poor contact with prongs on bulb—is a frequent cause of noise. ' Bulbs: The prongs on the bulb may become dirty, or in placing it in the socket a speck of dirt may get under one of the prongs. Sand- paper or file, the ends of the prengs lightly to remove corrosion and dirt. See that the springs in the sockets are making firm contact with all prongs. HOW BRITISH BROADCAST RITIBH stations broadcast much the same type of programme as do stations on this continent. Broadcasting there is better con— trolled than here, all commercial and pricate radio being supervised by the Post Office Department. Act- ual broadcasting is done by a com- mercial company known as the Brit- ish Broadcasting Company, but un— der government supervision. In the United Kingdom each owner oi a receiving set is required to pay an annual fee of $2, a part of which goes to the broadcasting station to defray expenses for operation, and the engagement of talent, and the balance to the government. British stations are in a position to offer rather better service of a certain kind than are stations on MEIR»ng , I, . g Of the HM It. .31.; " by H. W..

NORTHERN GROWN SEED POTA- TOhB INCREASE YIELD 35% HE results of 100 demonstra- tions carried on in southern Michigan last year by Boys and Girls Clubs showed that the north- ern growu certified seed potatoes gave an average increase in yield of 35 per cent over the home grown seed. The average yield from home grown stock was 97 bushels per acre while the certified seed averaged 131 bushels per acre. In many .' the northern grown seed more than doubled the yield. Eon- neth Star]: at Imlay City reported that one acre of potatoes planted- with certified seed produced as much asr2% acres planted with his father’s stock. The percentage of marketable potatoes was also much in favor of the imported seed. These demonstrations were made possible thru the generosity of growers in Otsego, C‘heboygan, and Presque Ile counties. These grow- ers donated a ca‘rload of choice seed potatoes to the Agricultural Depart- ment of the M. C. R. R... which in turn, passed them on to the Boys’ and Girls' Clubs of Lapeer, Gen- esee, Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw, Jackson, Calhoun, Hillsdale, and Branch counties.

" v E commercial winter .crop of apples in Michigan will certain- ly not amount to more than 60 to 71) per cent of last year's crop. Furthermore, scab is quite bad in many orchards this year, so that the percentage of A grade apples will gimbany run considerably lower than they last year. These two tasters combined then, should result in much less quality of A grade winter apples for this season. In the western part of the state the trees of many varieties have only one or two branches that are carry- ing fullcrops with the balance of the trees practically barren. This also holds true to a considerable ex- tent throughout central Michigan. In the eastern part of the state, however, the crop of winter apples is very good——possibly larger than last season. I do not believe that the crop of winter apples for the country as a whole, will amount to more‘ than 80 to 85 per cent of last season's pro- duction, in spite of some reports 'which would indicate that the 1924 crop would be nearly as large as that of last year‘s crop—Ray E. Marshall, Assoc. Prof. of Horticul- ture, M. A. C. ' PIAN’I‘ BEBBIES IN SPRING Can you please inform me as to whether it is advisable to set out strawberries, raspberries, and cur- rents in the fall of the year, and if so at what time, and what kinds are advisable to plant? Should straw- berries, and raspberries be mulch- ed in the tall, and at what time should it be removed in the spring it they are mulched? Do raspber- ries do better it kept cultivated?— !t. B. A., Merrill, Mich. do not advise the setting of strawberry plants in the fall. Red berries and currants may be set in the fall of the year but we usually advise early spring planting. Black raspberries are practically always set in the spring. Raspberries are usually kept well cultivated. However, they often do very well i! mulched with straw or some similar material to hold the moisture in the soil. It is usually best to keep a. raspberry plantation well cultivated until two or three weeks utter the close of the harvest- ing season, then sow a cover crop, preferably oats, between the rows. This may be turned over in the spring and will furnish organic mat- ter which otherwise would have to be supplied in the form of manure. —R. E. Loree, Horticultural Depart- ment, M. A. C. on. MONEY!

This animal is a “tonner” which tips the beam at 2,240 pounds. She is one of the attrac- tions at the Murphy farms, owned by E. N. Murphy of Green Bay, Wis. The big Holstein has a milk record of 25,617.20 pounds, with a butter mark of 1079.01 pounds in 305 days. Several of her progeny have set marks as sires. MICHIGAN JERSEY WINS MEDAL ON GOOD RECORD R. C. E. GEORGE of Union City, Michigan, is the owner of Sue’s Oxford Amelia 471745 a senior three—year—old Jersey that recently qualified for a Silver Medal on her production record. Amelia started on this test at three years eleven months of age and in 305 days produced, with calf, 548.86 pounds of butter-fat and 9521 pounds of milk, on two milkings a day. Her milk averaged 5.76 percent. butter— fat for the ten months. In the first complete calendar month of test her yield reached 85.50 pounds of but- terfat. This Amelia’s second test. On her first one, started at two years one month she produced 571.18 pounds of butterfat in 365 days. Her sire is Sue’s Oxford Lad 153409, and her dam is Jacoba‘s Golden Malia Ann 374745, a Gold and Silver Medal cow with three very good records. These three records are: 554.13 pounds, 730.10 pounds and 767.46 pounds of butter—fat. WITHTHEOOWTESTERS YEAR ago County Agent C. P. Milham of Ottawa county sent in his request to the dairy ex- tension ofiice for a cow tester to be sent him to carry on the duties of the first Ottawa county cow testing association. This tester, Myron Mc- Carn, has now finished the assicia- tion year and reports that 277 cows have averaged 7,609 pounds milk and 305.8 pounds of fat for the as- sociation year. The high herd in fat production is owned by George Taylor. His 17 grade Holsteins and Jersey cows averaged 8,084 pounds milk and 398.4 pounds fat. Thir- teen other herds averaged above 300 pounds of fat. This association is continuing the work and the extra members that wished to get into an association have been organized into a second Ottawa county 0. T. A. The Shiawassee County Cow Test- ing Association has completed its first year’s testing work. Bernard Hice, the tester reports that 199 cows have averaged 298 pounds of fat and 7,674.8 pounds of milk for ' the association year. The high herd in milk and butter fat production was owned by F. Martin of Owosso. His five purebred Holsteins averag- ed 11,3395 pounds milk and 416.8 pounds fat. The highest butter fat producing cow for the entire as- sociation was owned by George Winegar and Son of Morrice. County Agent Sheap has success- fully reorganized the association for a second year's testing work. Mr. 0thal Kimmel has been sent to the Association by the Dairy Depart- ment, M. A. C., and is doing the test- ing work during the present year. Leo Ashley has completed a year‘s testing duties in the South Van Buren county cow testing associa— tion. The 204 cows that finished the year’s testing work averaged 7,923 pounds milk and 348.4 pounds fat. The high herd in butter fat production was owned by Mr. D. M. Poorman. C. H. Steuart had both high herd and high cow in milk pro— duction. One hundred eighty cows. were tested for T. B. and only four ro- aeteis were found. Every member inthsassociationisusingapm'o- bred sire. There are purebred Holstein. seven purebred Guern- purebred Brown Swiss, one pure- bred Red Poll and one purebred Durham in use. This association u‘ continuing the work and Mr. I. Hyman is carrying on the testing. C. M. Wagner has finished a year’s testing for the Bad Axe-Huh on Cow Testing Association and re- ports that 275 cows averaged 278 pounds fat and 7,313 pounds milk for the association year. Su‘ 8. four year old purebred Holstein owned by A. B. Pangborn was the high cow in both milk and butter fat production for the association. Sunlight made 13,163 pounds milk and 495.7 pounds fat. Nine herds produced better than 300 pounds of butter fat, while the three poorest herds averaged 5,965 pounds milk and 211 pounds fat. H. T. Stanton, Tester for the Genesee No. 6 Cow Testing Associa- tion, reports in his annual summary that Ed. Woolfitt had the high cow in both fat and milk production. This cow, Topsy, a grade Holstein ten years old, made 12,319.6 pounds milk and 498.2 pounds fat. Fred Boyse with a mixed herd had the highest butter fat average. ~ His six , cows produced 350.9 pounds fat and 8343.8 pounds milk. E. L. Powers' eleven purebred and grade Holstein: had the best average'in milk pro- duction. The Genesee No. 6 Association is planning to continue for a a year. It is the sixth Genesee counw‘ association that is continuing the work at the completion of its first year. The Elsie-Ovid Cow Testing As- sociation was organized in J . 1923, through the efiorts of Co Agents H. V. Klttle of St. Johns and J. V. Sheap of Owosso. fl‘he cow tester was secured through A. O. Baltzer, Extension Specialist, M. A. C. «The association started operv tious early in July. It was recognis— ed that many excellent cows were owned by members in this associar tion and this recognition was not. amiss, considering this high milk. production average that has been ‘ made during the year. ,_ VETERINARY 7 DEPARTMENT l OONTAGIOUS ABORTION We have a. neighbor who has con- tagious abortion in his herd of cows. Is it really contagious from one herd to another where they run in adjoining pastures? What can or should I take in regards it?——J. L. S., Middleville, Mich. is possible that abortion-tree cattle running in a pasture ad- jacent to one used by abortion- infected cattle may acquire the tar faction by licking the soiled parts of infected cattle across a. llnefenoe.

There are expected to be two high temperature periods during the week, one about the middle and the other at the end of this week. At these times the temperatures in Michigan will be more in keeping with mid-summer months. There 'will be a slight falling of the tem- perature about Thursday or Friday. There will be two storm period centers this week in Michigan, one about the 17th and the other near the 20th. At these times most sec- tions of the state may expect heavy rains, strong winds and some elec- trical storms. Week of September 21 Temperatures will be rising dur- ing first part of this week in Michi- gan reaching top notch about Tues- day or Wednesday. Following this date there will be a sudden change to cooler with temperatures reading close to the 60 degree mark. There will, be a reaction again about Sat- urday. There will be fair weather at the very beginning and end of this week but from about Monday or Tuesday and through the middle of the week cloudiness. rain storms and high winds, Plow this Fall Because the spring months are ex- pacted to be stormy with late sleet, snow and strong winds and the tem- peratures will not warm up to sea- sonal conditions much before the middle of June, we believe this fall will be the best time to plow. The ‘sooner, the ,better. we believe, be- cause we expect October to be wet and November cold. 'Questions and Answers We are glad to answer any ques- tions‘ pertaining to weather that readers of this paper may ask but as this all takes extra time, labor and material the least one can do in appreciation is to enclose a stamp for reply. Questions and Answers GOOD WHEAT WEATHER COMING I am writing for information in regard to what I have in the west (South Dakota). It has just been thrashed and is stored in the elevat- or. Would you advise selling at once or will the price go up before spring? How about planting wheat there in Michigan this fall? We read your forecasts in Tm: Buernss Fnam with great interest.—Mrs. F. M., Elsie, Mich. ATHER conditions wiIl be favorable in Michigan for win- ter wheat this fall and winter. Both September and October will give plenty of moisture but we be- lieve wheat will take better and more rapid root in the latter month. Planting late in September will dodge most of the coolness of that month, takes advantage of the mod- erate temperature in October and - fits a good stand before the cool mperatures of November take ef- fect. Probably the best time around Elsie to plant wheat in ac- cordance with Michigan Agricultural College rules is about September 20 to 25. In most parts of Michigan we believe this will be a period of good planting weather. The winter season will average wet and moderate and while there is a probability that some southern counties of the state may not have a good covering of snow all winter, we .are not looking for any serious thaws and freezes in January, Feb- ruary or March. During the spring months temperatures will run more extremes: especially win this be 11“ can about April, wheat in Michigan will come to a head during May, 19:6. » and- the average weather for this w , t-to be cool and wet. We do not predict the price of wheat. However, present market indications (middle of August) hint at - higher. prices, according to those close to the pit, This may or may not reach into the late winter months. February to April are us- ually the' months of high wheat prices but that does not mean it will be at that time for the general farmer during first six months of 1926 will occur during late winter or early spring. The price of wheat depends much upon- the harvest both in Australia and Argentine Republic at the end of this and beginning of next year. Latest unofiicial reports from these countries declare there is an in— crease in wheat acreage and that at sowing time the weather was favor- able. FORECAST FOR NEXT YEAR Please send me the weather fore- cast for Michigan in accordance with your ofier in THE BUSINESS FABMEB.——F. M., Mt. Morris, Mich. E ofier to help any reader of this paper in their farm work in so far as the weather is concerned whenever a definite ques- tion is asked. The above question is rather vague and far reaching but we will attempt to answer it. The weather forcast from week to week appears in THE MICHIGAN Busnvnss Fm for Michigan farmers and very often is supple— merited with monthly and seasonal predictidns. Looking forward for the next 13 months we figure the weather for Michigan will average cooler than normal. That is, the cool and cold spells that will occur between now and next July will off-set the warm spells that will occur during this same period. Never-the-less, we look for generally good crop weath- er with plenty of sunshine. The first three months of next year will average moderately wet but not severely cold and as the year progresses, storminess will in- crease and the mid-season will bring on more than the usual amount of precipitation. This forecast covers only the con- ditions expected in the state of Michigan and as such is very defin- ite and specific. On the other hand, these forecasts are necessarily broad because they cover an entire year’s time. The daily and week- ly changes in the weather for the next twelve months will be found in this paper and these will all av- erage up to conditions very close to the averages we have predicted above.—Pritchard’s Weather Fore— FEEDING SILAGE MADE FROM IMMATURE FORN (Continued from Page 3) While the analysis of the silage made from immature corn showed that it was very high in moisture. the results obtained in this trial in— dicate that there is much feeding value in corn even before the ears have formed and that the feed ele- ments are easily assimilated by cat— tle. While such a ration cannot be expected to produce very fat cat- tle it is significant that when these steers were sold on the Sioux City market the lot that was fed imma- ture corn silage brought only 30 cents per hundred pounds less than corn fed steers and only 20 cents less than those fed choice silage from mature corn. The feeding value of silage ordin- arily increases with the naturity of the corn and even in years When corn does not ripen, most fields are well beyond the tasseling stage and should therefore be worth even more than the corn used in this ex- periment which was worth approx- imately 70 per cent as much as sil- age from mature corn. Corn that cannot be stored in silos and is not mature enough for picking will furnish very palatable feed if cut and cured in large shocks.—-A. H. Kuhlman.

New businesses are founded; others expand. New homes are established in town and city, in suburban dwellings and apartment houses, To meet the needs of America, today and to-morrow, with the best and cheapest telephone service, is the responsibility of the Bell System. The telephone will grow with the population and prosperity of the country, and the plans of to-day must anticipate the growth of to-morrow. _ The service which is to—day was anticipated and provision was made for it. long in advance. Money was prov vided, new developments were undertaken. construction work' was carried through on a large scale. The Bell System, that is, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and Associated Companies, has continuously met these requirements. It has enlisted the genius of technical development and the savings of investors for investment in plant construction. Over 3 l 5,000 men and women are owners of the American" Company's stock and over half a million are investors in the securities of the System. With a sound financial structure, a management which is reflected in a high quality of telephone service, the Bell System is enabled to serve the increasing requirements of the American public.

READY son wrN'mn 0W is a good time to make plans for improving the hous- ing of the farm poultry during the coming winter. The first step is a complete renovation of the poultry house. It should be thoroughly cleaned out, removing if possible all the interior fittings such as .roosts, nest boxes and any' other parts that can be removed without too much labor or expense. Then the interior of the house is to be scraped with hoe or spade so as to tree it from all dried accumulations of manure and other filth. After this has been done, the entire interior including the floor, walls, and ceiling should be thoroughly sprayed, using for the purpose a solution of compound cresol, 12 tablespoonfuls to each "gallon of water. The compound cresol may be secured from any drug store and it should be prepar- ed of the strength just indicated to insure its efficiency as a disinfectant. If a' barrel spray pump is available, the best means will be provided for applying the disinfectant. If a bar- rel spray pump cannot be provided, then a. smaller spray pump such as is in a. pail may be employed. A small hand sprayer will answer, but the force required to drive the dis- infectant into every crack and corner is difficult to secure when a pump of such small size is employed. Af- ter the house has been sprayed, it should be opened and well aired for a week or ten days after which it should be sprayed a second time in a manner just as thoroughly as the first. After again airing and drying for ten days the interior of the house should be covered with a coat of ordinary lime white wash which may be applied either by means of a spray pump or a white wash brush. Every crack and corner should re- ceive a thorough coating so as to render the entire interior of the house not only thoroughly sweet and clean, but also light and sanitary. If the house is not provided with ample window space so that the en- tire floor may be well lighted even during the winter days, additional windows should be put in. The work connected with this can usual- ly be taken care of by the ordinary farm labor. In addition to the lighting, provision should be made for ample ventilation without the injurious draughts that are so fre- quently the cause of colds and roup during the winter months. The muslin curtain ventilators are prob- ably the best and least expensive and can be readily installed. By following the above directions the poultry house will be placed in proper condition to receive the fowls again, and it will be free not only from disease germs, but the lice and mites that are usually quite numer- ous and troublesome will have been eradicated to a very large extent. Work of this kind can be undertak- en during the late summer and early fall months without seriously inter- fering with the progress of other farm work and no effort should be spared to adopt the plans needed for putting these directions into effect. At the same time that the poultry house is receiving the treat- ment outlined above, the poultry yard should come in for attention. It should be freed of all loose man— ure and rubbish of all kinds. Then it should be plowed or spaded so as to turn under the surface and ex- pose the clean earth beneath. Dur- ing the remainder of the summer and fall frequent cultivation should be employed so as to keep down weeds, and keep the soil loose to al- low the penetration of air and light which will further improve the con- dition of the soil to receive the fowls when they are returned to the poultry home. In addition it will be the means of removing from the reach of the fowls many of the eggs of various parasites, both external, as well as disease germs of various kinds that are always harbored in the poultry yard, .as is frequently the case on many farms, of course, this means of preventing and erad- icating disease cannot be applied. In the latter case the places frequented by the farm poultry should be» cleaned by scraping and the removal r of all rubbish so as "to expose. the surface of the soil to the— action“oi the sun and air during the remain- ing part of. the year before the ground is covered \wlth snow. Another point that requires at- tention at this time of year is the making of plans looking to the rear- ing of chicks next spring. It has been demonstrated in a most satisp factory manner that the chicks rais- ed next spring should be kept_ on ground that was not occupied by chicks this year. This will mean that a separate yard should be pro- vided of suitable size and near enough to the farm buildings to re- duce the labor problem to a. min- imum. This yard should be suit- ably fenced and provided with the necessary equipment that will be re- quired next spring in the form of coops, colony houses and other forms of shelter. The coops and colony houses must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in the man. ner already described. If this work is given attention at this time of year while the weather is mild, the tearing of chicks next spring will not be delayed until warm weather arrives and the shelters prepared. In addition, the rush of spring work often interferes with the proper preparation of yards and poultry houses if it is delayed until that time. While the measures outlined above may seem somewhat arduous from a. labor standpoint, they are well worth their cost because they result in a healthier flock during the winter time and consequently a larger egg production. They will also result in a larger crop of chicks next spring with reduced losses from diseases of both bacterial and par- asitic nature.

Whatever you do, plan to have your land free of volunteer‘ grains. Everything Clean The grain is planted safely with a clean drill on clean ‘land out of clean sacks. If by any chance some rye has still gotten away from you, you can pull it out of the growing crop before heading time. Be sure to take hold of the rye plant near the root and get it all, as a little root left in the ground will give you trouble. It will send up a head. Remember that most of these things (if not all of them) should be killed in preparing the soil for planting as the pulling must finish them. When the crop is ripe clean out ur binder. Don’t leave even a ead of another grain sticking to the canvas, or around the binder. Haul the grain on clean wagon beds to the machine. How are you go- ing to take care of the grain lodged on inside and in the elevator of the threshing machine coming from your neighbor's field? Open up the back so that nothing gets into the elevator, and do not allow the con- tents of the elevator to go into the cylinder. When the machine is nicely started that way and loose stuff is out, close up the elevator and point it toward the cylinder. Begin on the new variety. Set the first three or four sacks aside and make sure that they are not used for planting. They will contain nearly all of the foreign grains that were in the machine. Save your seed after these sacks of mixed grain have been set aside. If you have gotten a bushel of oats, you .probably have half an acre. This should produce 25 or 30 bushels at least. After setting aside six bush-v eis as mixed, you should still have 20 bushels of seed for next year. This should plant ten acres.‘ If you have gotten a bushel of wheat, that may easily be spread over an acre and produce 25 or 30 bushels. Af- ter setting aside the mixture (say ten bushels) you should still have fifteen bushels of wheat. Fifteen bushels will plant ten acres next year. This is about enough for the farmer anyway. Be sure to set aside all that is liable to be mixed at threshing each year. There is no excuse for letting the variety run out. The second duty of the farmer in regard to improved varieties of grain, is to reclean it if it is to be Sold for seed purposes. It is worth twice the market price to anyone who wants seed as it will produce more and the quality will be better Every farmer who has been benefit- ed by improved seed should not only save it pure for his own use but pass the good thing along. Let others be benefited also. Get your neighbor to plant it even if you have to give him the seed, Benefit Michigan. Saving Original Variety If you did not realize the import- ance of keeping the seed pure until on have gotten into trouble, I Want to help you out of trouble. Stray heads may be picked out. Sup- pose the field contains wheat and a considerable mixture of other var- ieties, the problem is: How can the original variety be redeemed? If you can’t buy pure seed there is still a way. Study the heads of the pure variety carefully so you will make no mistake. Rub out a few heads to make sure you know the right type of head. Take a galvanized pail. Support it in front of you by a tape around your neck and shoulders. Just before time to cut your wheat, go into your wheat astride one of the rows. Pick the nicest heads of the variety in ques- tion and no others. You can gath- er four':pails in two hours or less. Put the heads in a gunny sack and hang them up in the dry and away from the mice where the air cir- culates. When the heads are dry, put the sack on a bench or smooth hard surface and pound it with a stick. The grain may be thorough-' 1y thresh'ed in that way. Look over your fanning mill to make sure that 1': .containsvno other grain. Fan out 7m..samnle and plant it in, small mace away from other. harvested. you had best flail it ' I for if you attempt to put‘ it in an ordinary thresher, you have lost your work. The product of this flailing should give you enough to plant an acre and a half or two acres. This can be threshed with a machine, setting aside the first few sacks. In conclusipn it would be well to say something regarding the value of the fanning mill. One should be accessible to every farm if not actually owned by every farmer. In no other way can the farmer control his weeds as well as by means of the farming mill. If you sow weed seed you can expect to grow weeds and have them to fight. The fewer weeds you sow the less your trouble further on. By means of the fan- ning mill the farmer can select out the largest and nicest grains of his seed for planting. The large grains have more food for the young plant which like other young things, will do better if fed well at the start. While the fanning selects seeds that will insure vigorous plants, do not be deceived by thinking that you can breed grain with, a fanning mill. That is another thing. I have told you that a tribe originating from a single seed is very constant in its type. The grains of any tribe are not all the same size. They vary considerably. Imagine a lot of these tribes mixed together. The size of the grains vary considerably in all the tribes. If you fan out the largest grains, it may be possible that you will fail to save any of a very small tribe and thus get rid of it, but you will get large grains rep- resenting many tribes and next year your grain will be almost the same so far as heredity goes. High yielding pedigreed varieties can be obtained thru the Michigan Crop Improvement Association, an organization of farmers who take the trouble to keep the grain pure.

Lytle, the Secretary. The Board of Directors proposed several changes for improving and enlarging it. The premiums will be naturally increas— ed, among the additions being a sweep-stakes for each county, thus making it possible for the best man in each county to gain recognition as well as the man Who gets the grand sweep—stakes in the district. Orders for a couple of carioads of fancy stuff at fancy prices will again be offered to the growers who win in certain classes. Another feature which should at- tract considerable interest is the of- fering of $60 in prizes to the school children in the district who write the best essays on growing potatoes. The rules for the contest will be published later. These winners will also be the guests at the annual banquet held during the Show. Up—to-date machinery is almost essential for efiiciency in potato pro- duction as cultural methods and for that reason it was decided to invite several important implement deal- ers to exhibit their latest types of machinery used in connection with potato culture. Financial Support This Show obtains its finances ' from the Board of Supervisors of the various potato counties.

W. FOOTE, Market Editor. ILE there are several factors Which would not indicate the best of promises for some in- dustries, the farming industry and agriculture generally, whether it be dirt farming or live stock farming, is seen in much better light than it has been for several years. A year ago agriculture did not keep pace with the expansion of other indus— tries but this year it is the farmers' inning. Six months ago the grain belt was in the grip of depression, loaded with indebtedness and confronted with market prices nearly equal to a pre war basis. Since good times in trade generally are dependent on the pros— perity of the farming districts, all industrial circles were handicapped. As business has entered the fall Season however. improvement has been noted in all lines and optimism runs rampant. Stocks and bonds have advanced to the highest levels for several years and grain prices have risen to levels higher than any time since 1920. While the new corn crop is of un- certain outcome and promises to be around three-fourths of a normal crop this year owing to the back- ward spring and wet cool weather all summer, the market on this grain has advanced rapidly. All small grains have gained over a year ago but corn has outdistanced the entire list. Recent quotations at around $1.20 for cash corn stands 30c above a year ago and on December corn at $1.14 around 56c above a year ago. The new crop looks good and is still growing. but it is in danger of frost. There has been far too much moisture for the crop to ma- ture and although ears are well formed the grain is soft. Reports from most corn belt sections say that the crop is from two to four Weeks late. West of the Missouri River however, it looks more favor- able and a bumper yield is looked for. Recent hot winds throughout northern Kansas and Southwestern Nebraska however have done some damage to the grain. Corn Important Crop At a meeting of the managers of joint stock banks, Guy Huston, presi— dent of the Chicago Joint Stock Land Bank, expressed great confi- dence in the future of corn belt lands. He stated that the value of corn belt land was going to increase, his judgment being based on the value of the corn crop itself. Corn is becoming more and more import- ant as a commercial product. Most of the grain, of course, is marketed through meat animals but during the last several years the grain has been used more extensively for other edible products. Corn syrup, for ex— ample was exported in small quanti— ties, quarts and gallons a decade or so ago, while now it is shipped in great tank steamers. Corn oil, corn starch, corn sugar and other corn by—products are being manufactured in large quantities and consequently utilizing a large amount of the year's production. During the last four years, bumper crops of corn have been used without any surplus re- maining. This year with a short crop in sight, the market has almost gone into a panic. Corn is coming into it’s own and the corn belt ecc— tions are goingr to increase in value, according to this close observer of agriculture. On Tuesday of last week, grain at the Chicago market. shattered re— cords for the last six years without much change in prices. Around 5,832,000 bushels of grain arrived at that great terminal market, wheat being in the lead at 2,536,800 bushels the largest since 1918. Oats were offered in nearly as large a quantity and corn receipts were more than three-fourths bushels. 4 of a million “Remarkable efficiency of the mar— keting machinery was never more sharply evidenced,” said L. L. ‘Win- ters, economist and member of the' Chicago Be“ ‘ of Trade. “With no material price recessions, the market has absorbed a tremendous amount of grain in a natural and normal way.” If such heavy receipts had been rushed into the market on a single day a few months ago, the trade would undoubtedly have been de— moralized. Confidence isfelt gen- erally in the grain business and high prices, based on supply and demand are being maintained. This means inevitable prosperity for the farmer. Wheat has sold at $1.50 recently on a cash basis with December wheat quoted up to $1.29. Cash corn is quoted at $1.20 with December corn at $1.14. Oats sold at 490 with De- cember oats at 530. Cash rye prices have been up to 91c with December at 96c. Europe Buys Grain The signing of the Dawes repara— tions plan by the leading European powers has paved a way for Europe to become a big buyer of cash grain in the United States. Recently huge grain purchases have been made on export account of this reparations plan. Over 6,000,000 bushels of wheat, 2,000,000 bushels of rye, around 1,000,000 bushels of oats and 600,000 bushels of barley have been sold to Europe during the last week. The immense cash business has dwarfed the speculative interest in the markets as purchases of all futures of wheat, corn and rye were only 82,000,000 on a certain day when the cash business was very much greater. Live Stock Situation While the grain farmer is enjoy— ing a gleam of prosperity, the live stock man has not had a thrill as yet. However prices for cattle have maintained a fair price level throughout the year. Hog prices were low until this summer. Sheep and lambs were on a money making basis most of the time. Hogs have advanced but not in proportion to corn prices. Corn is over 50c above a year ago. Hogs are around $1.00 higher than a_year,'two and three years ago. Using the old ratio of 10 bushels of corn to 100 lbs. of pork, hog: should be selling for $4.00 higher than they are now in comparison. with present corn prices. The cattle situation even looks worse. Prices 'are new around $2.00 below a year ago on beef steers. Sheep and lambs are 50 to 75c higher than a year ago. Receipts of hogs were the largest on record during the early part of the present year and total receipts at eleven leading markets during the first two months at 8,161,000 showed an increase of 1,040,000 over the corresponding period a year pre— vious. Receipts had a 1,040,000 lead on the previous year but by June reductions in marketings had diminished this lead to 836,000 head. Recent total receipts show still fur- ther reduction and the year’s total to date is only 497,000 more than last year, the 1924 total being around 26,050,000 against 25,553,- 000 for the same period in 1923. Since March, the reduction has aver- aged 90,000 head a month. This shows to some extent why the pros— pects for the hog market is good and what the trend will be if re- ceipts continue to decrease. The price range on mixed packing hogs recently at $8.60 to $10.25 stood from $1.15 to $1.50 above a year ago. Heavy packing and se— lected shipping hogs ranged from $8.35 to $10.15 recently against $6.75 to‘ $8.75 a year previous and light packing and shipping grades at $8.50 to $10.35 showed an ad— vance of as much as $1.25 over a year ago. Erratic Cattle Markets Cattle markets have been very erratic this year and especially so during the past two or three weeks. Good and choice heavy steers have touched the lowest levels of the year recently and also some of the best prices of the year. Advances and declines of $1.00 or more have been made within a few days. Under weight of burdensome sup- plies, buyers were unable to break the market sharply but when re- ceipts were curtailed they were forced to increase their bids 50c or more a day. At the close of last week prices on yearlings and heavy steers were virtually as high as any time since the peak last April when $12.60 was paid. However, the market still stands around $1.00 be- low that high mark. Tap yearlings sold at $11.50 with heavies reaching THE BUSINESS FARMER’S MARKET SUMMARY and Comparison with Markets Two Weeks ago and One Year ago Detroit Chicago Detroit Detroit Sept. 10 Sept. 10 Aug. 27 1 yr. ago WHEAT— No. 2 Red $1.26 $1.28 311 $1.06 No. 2 White 1.28 1'26 1.07 No. 2 Mixed .27 1.20 - 1.06 CORN— 1 23 No. 3 Yellow 1.25 1.21 1-18 .95 No. 4 Yellow 1.% 1.20 ' .94 OATb-— 62 No. 2 White .62 48@49 -60 .42 1,4 No. 3 \Vhite .60 46@47 ‘ .40 is RYlu—-« 94 Cash No. 2 .93 861,5 - .75 BEANS— .. _ C.

Scarcity of corn in the country has forced many‘cattle to market which might have been dis- tributed throughout the fall months had corn been more plentiful "or the price not so high, as to keep feeders from replenishing their bins. The high price of corn also has re- sulted in a slow stacker and feeder market, and slightly more than 14,000 feeders left the Chicago mar- ket during August against 24,310 in 1923. The bulk of stockers and feeders have been selling from $5.50 to $6.75, while fat cattle price! ranged mostly from $9.00 to $10.75. The marketward movement of west-- cm range cattle has been steady for the past month but prices have gen- erally been lower than a year ago. Most western steers good enough for slaughter have been selling from $6950 to $7.50 with those .in stocker and feeder flesh mainly from $5.25 to $6.25. A few lots of well bred meaty western steers however, have found country outlet at $7.00 to $7.50, and better during the past few weeks. The numerous offerings of range steers has had a bad effect on native cows and heifers of grass descrip- tion. Good corn fed cows and fat baby beef heifers are maintaining their position along with corn fed steers but grassy cows and heifers are selling downward to $3.50 and $4.00 for beef purposes. Canners are of quality and condition to sell within a spread of $4.25 to $6-50 with heifers frequently going at $6.00 to $8.00 and a few of the best up to $10.00 and above. Other classes of cattle, Inclmflnc bulls and calves have shown strength recently owing to light supplies. Bo— logna bulls sold up to' $5.00 for best kinds recently but commoner grades ranged down to $4.00 and $4.25 veal calves have been in light supply for a month or two and prices can- tiue to hold around $12.50 to $13.50 and even up to $14.00 for best of. ferings. With corn values at high levels, and general business improving, the cattle market is expected to improve as the season advances. Hide markets have been active and advancing re- cently, this being a factor directly connected with the market on live cattle. A year ago the year’s peak was reached while two years previ— ous the high time was on October. So far this year the high time of cattle prices was in April. Lambs Hold Up The feature in the sheep and lamb market recently has been big receipts with bread shipping demand with very little price change. A large pro- portion of the receipts late have been western range sheep and lambs. Breeding and feeding demand has absorbed a good share of the supply at prices almost in line with fat stock. A year ago feeder buyers outbid killers on range lambs butvso far this year, such has not been the case. ~ Choice native lambs have sold up to $13.50 to $14.00 recently with fat western lambs at $14.15. Medium to good grades have cleared from $13.00 to $13.25 with common nat- ive down to $12.00 and $12.25.. Culls were listed at $8.00 to $10.00. Feed- ing demand for lambs has taken many good qualitied offerings st $12.50 to $13.00. Breeding ewes sold from $6.50 to $8.00 for full months with some of the best going up to $9.50. 'iood breeding year— ling ewes were quoted above the lat- ter figure with some at $11.00. Feeding ewes were quoted from $5.00 tov$6.00 with yearlings at $9.00 to $10.00 for feeding pur- poses. A recent adverse influence fn the live stock market which was more or less over done was the financial difl‘iculty connected with Wilson «I: C0,, the big meat packers, when they went into the hands of receivers. Wilson was out of the market one day when reorganization of the company was being made but there- after they are aetive purchasers of all specie of live stock and frequent- ly paid the day's best prices for on». tle.

Believers in higher prices are expecting an increase of speculative buying in the near futrue, which will support prices, but I the bears are ngch’inclined to think that s’pec- . plators are rather skeptical as to the future of the market, and will pur- chase only small amounts of wheat, Illuming that “prices might take a drop and give them a heacy loss. Farmers have been very anxious to market their wheat and as a result there has been rather a large supply. which has weakened the market to I certain extent. During the fore. of last week wheat was bought vily for expert, but there was some decrease in the demand during the latter part of the week, although at. price advanced. According to Detroit dealers Michigan wheat is not pressing on the parket, and the demand is active.' This wheat is wanted for milling and export» CORN Corn has fluctuated so widly that dealers have steered clear of it be- ing afraid to handle deals. Reports from the country show the crop pro- ossing nicely, but there is constant r of a frost that will cause great damage. This constant fear hanging over the market will prevent prices from declining very much. It is all a matter of weather. and there is no telling how high prices will go if there is a genuine frost over the corn states within the next week or so. OATS The Detroit oat market has been without life, and prices are unchang- ed. Most of the cat crop was harv- ested and threshed in good condition, and the farmers are storing the cats in their granary instead, of rushing them on the market. RYE About the same tone prevails in a the rye market as in oats, although the price has declined some during the week ending Saturday, Septem- ber 6th. Where a former was able to have his rye threshed when it was thoroughly dry, and can place it in bins, and have it keep in good con- dition. we believe that it will profit him to keep his rye until later, be- cause the foreigners are bound to be in the market for it and will pay a, very good price if the farmer is not overly anxious to sell. BEANS The bean market has acted rather queer during the past week or two, prices declining from ten to fifteen cults at Detroit. while indications are that there will not~be as many beans this year as last. The outlook is that Michigan will have a good size 'crop nearly as large as last year, although serious damage has been reported from many sections. Re. ports come in of many fields ‘that are not filling well, the beans blos- somed but failing to pod; however, this condition is not believed to be very general. According to reports Californiia will produce only a few white beans this year, and Colorado reports serious damage from contin- ued drought. However New York and Wisconsin both report they will have better than a normal crop. All indications are that Michigan will be able to control the price of pea beans the coming season than for several years, and the price should not decline much below present level. POTATOES There has been a oetter demand for potatoes during the fortnight ending Saturday, September 6th, and as a result prices show a sub- stantial gain. The m rket has a liberal supply. ' 0L Reports from Boston state that the situation of the wool traders “em to be directed toward the Brisbane auction Where prices still show signs of yielding. Most of the dealers, in view of the volume of foreign buying at Brisbane are held- their weal for higher prices. eight-months is new around £120, clean. Boston twelve months » it costs spoons higher.

The holiday Monday of last week allowed considerable hay to accum~ ulate at all markets and this large ‘oifering tended to weaken prices. The demand for choice hay con- tinues good but damaged and low grade stock is selling at a discount. Some western and southern markets show exception to the Beneral con- dition by a display of strength, due to small arrivals, but at most cities rooslpts are heavier and markets was .

GRAND RAPIDS READY FOR RECORD-BREAKIN G FAIR HE stage is all set in Grand Rap- ids for the West Michigan Fair which opens Monday the 15th for five days and nights and from the entries that have been made, it is a safe bet that the 1924 Fair will -go down in history as the biggest of them all. President Wm. T. Morrissey Who took the active management of the fair early this year is determined to give the people of Michigan a well-balanced fair and has left no stone unturned to provide educa- tional features that will long be re— membered as well as a full program of super-quality attractions and amusement features. Silos are being built this year to beat the frost in harvesting the corn crop.

Fewer than last year probably, due to conditions. The head of one institution tells us that early registrations of first-year men in the college of agriculture are only three-fourths as large as a year ago at the same time, while total enrollments in the same university are ahead of a year ago on the same date. That is likely to be the con- dition when school opens, in this in- stitution and most others. If we were guessing we would say now is the time for young men, to invest in agricultural training. It is generally agreed, we presume, that higher education in any line pays. At least that is the founda- tion of all material progress in this world. Study has given us the dis- coveries and inventions that have added to our prosperity and com- fort. Agriculture is one of our greatest industries, and its need for trained men is as great if not great- er than that of any other business or profession. That need will grow rapidly, because there are relatively so few men who have had agricul- tural training. The young man who comes out of college four years hence will find a wide opportunity in the field of agriculture. And at that time he is likely to be very grateful to those who this year urge and make it possible for him to enter a college of agriculture—- Chicago Daily Drovers Journal.
