The members of the team are: Frank H. Williamson, of Pontiac; Ernest S. Weisner, East Lansing, and R. Palmer Britsman, East Lans- ing. They were coached by Prof. J. FE. Burnett, of the M. A. 0. Dairy Department. ‘ The Michigan men ranked first in judging Jerseys and Guernseys, sixth in Holsteins and nineteenth in Ayreshires. Among the individuals, Williamson was the high man for all breeds. He was first in judging ' Jerseys and eighth in Guernseys. an was second in Guernseys. ' Weisner was sixth in all breeds and eighth in Jerseys. 5 POWER COMP ORT BEAUTY SAFETY SERVICE For its achievements the ; team was awarded three silver loving cups, 9. dairy cow trophy and a bronze plaque. By virtue of his first place in judging Jerseys, Will- iamson won a $400 scholarship awarded by the American Jersey Cattle Club, a gold medal watch tab and a cane. Each member of the team and Prof. Burnett, the coach received sets of bookends. . This is the first time since the contest was inaugurated 10 years ago that first honors have gone to Michigan, although Charles D. Mll- ler, of Eaton Rapids, was the high individual in 1923 at the National Dairy Show, held at Syracuse, N. Y. In team ranking, Wisconsin was second and Nebraska third. In the interstate calf club judg- ing contest, with 20 states entered Michigan was seventh. The team was composed of Victor Baal, of Lenawee County; Carlton Warner, Jackson County; Wayne Adams, ‘ We. club :‘leader. , Baal has“ second .hish— est individual , and eighth far all breeds.

On the opening day, September 16th, and every day to the close, September 19th, a record crowd was in attendance. Directors of the fair estimated the daily attendance averaged around 4,000 people, with the top day around 6,000. Exhibits were the best ever seen at that fair and some expressed the opinion, “Never seen better at any fair." The farm crops display was unusually good and the feature of this display was fruit. E.

The automatically lubricated Buick Valve- in-Hcad six-cylinder engine is recognized the world over as the most powerful type of engine that has ever been developed. The Buick spring suspension, low- .- prcssure tires and even balance provide a comfort that has yet to besurpassed. A single glance at any Buick is sure to show its extraordinary grace and power. Closer inspection reveals that this beauty goes through and through. Upholstery, interior appointments and body finish are conspicuous examples. The greater safety of Buick four-wheel brakes goes without saying. The mechani- cal pcrfection that characterizes Buick’s braking system provides a driving safety that is endorsed by motorists everywhere. Wherever you may travel, Buick author- ized service is close at hand. This service is on a flat-rate basis and according to rigid Buick factory standards.

There was a half bushel of Snows and .a half‘bushel' of Wolf River ap— ples that were declared perfect in every way by the judges. The chief attraction in the farm crops dis-play was the exhibits of the RicMond—Columbus and the Richmond-Riley farmers clubs. Each year these clubs compete against each other for cashlprizes and this year the Richmond-Riley club won first prize by two points and receiv- ed 340 while the Richmond-Colum- bus group had to be satisfied with second place and $30.- All branches of farming were covered in their ex- hibits. Fruits and vegetabiel were shown in the raw state and ,eahned. by both cold pack and hot pack methods. Grain was shown in the straw and after it was trashed. Corn, both husk and on the stalk, was ex- hibited. The dairy cow was repre- sented with milk, cream, butter and cheese, while several eggs in a bas- ket indicated that the hen had a place in their farming program. Even the honey bee and its product were shown. The women folks had some of their fines baking on dds- play, including bread, pies, cookies, cakes, baked beans, and what not. Fine flowers were also in the exhib— it. ' ,Exhibits in the live stock division were also fine this year. And the women’s building was crowded to overflowing with fancy work and art work. The amusement side of the fair was well taken care of there be- ing something doing all afternoon each day. A ball game was played each day and free acts were put on at two different points on the grounds and three bands furnished the music. It was a real country fair-and every one had a good time. ‘rDAIRY AND ALFALFA 0AM- PAIGN IN IONIA E Ionia County Farm Bureau. in cooperation with the Ex- tension Department of the Michigan Agricultural College, has arranged for a big dairy and alfalfa campaign for Ionia county. Present plans call for eight meetings each day, for ten days, on various farms in the county from October'13 to 25. Two extension specialists from the farm crops department and two experts from the dairy department of the college will be in the county Eighty demonstra- tions will take place, giving each farmer in the county an opportunity to participate. A SANITARY CODE FOR BEE- KEEPERS T the fifth Annual Summer meet~ ing of the Michigan Beekeep- ers’ Association at Cheboygan a sanitary code for beekeepers was adopted as follows: (Honey should not be extracted or stored in build- ings or houses frequented by ani- mals. (2) The extracting room should be well lighted. (3) Honey should be strained before being placed in a storage tank. (4) Utensils shoul be kept thoroughly clean. (6) ackages in; which -_._honey is to be placed should be washed. (6) The beekeeper should be neat, clean and sanitary of per. son. (7) The use of tobacco in the honey-house is to .be discouraged. HEATING HONEY BEFORE g STRAINING tacilitate the passage of honey ‘ through the strainer over the storage tank, two leading Mich- igan beekeepers are using devices for heating the honey before it passes through the strainer. case the beekeeper has a steam heated coil in the bottom of the en- tractor. The other beekeeper allows the honey to pass over a water-jack— eted pan so constructed as to hold the honey long enough to raise its temperature to about 140 degrees. Both beekeepers. are well satisfied that the heating of the honey im- proves the straining more than _ enough: .to repay-for the .

Perhaps it is for the best that these conditions and relationships which were productive of such bene- ficial results in ages past are not re- garded as good enough today. Out of this constant unrest some actual and constructive progress emerges. Yet, despite this fact, we all realize that because an idea is new or dif- ferent does not guarantee that it is totally good and should be adopted forthwith. Now lest confusion arise in your minds as to what we are driving at, let us state the matter briefly and then discuss it more in detail. During the recent session of Con- gress a resolution was passed by the necessary two-thirds of each branch, providing for the submis- sion to the legislatures of the sever- al states, of a so-called “Child Lab- or" amendment to the federal con- stitution. This amendment if ap- proved by the legislative bodies in three—fourths of the states, will be- come the Twentieth Amendment to the constitution of the United States. Inasmuch as the acceptance or re- jection of this amendment will be a matter to be settled, as far as Michigan is concerned, at the regu- lar legislative session this coming January, it is none too early to be giving thoughtful consideration to the issues involved. The following is the text of the amendment: “Section 1. Congress shall have power to limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of per- sons under eighteen years of age. - . “Section 2. The power of the several States is unimpaired by this article, except that the op- eration of State laws shall be suspended to the extent neces- sary to give effect to . legisla- tion enacted by Congress." An amendment to the national Constitution is presumed to be urg- ed only by ”overwhelming necess- ity". The pending proposal, through its designation as the “Child Labor” amendment, makes a peculiarly sympathetic and disarming appeal. - History indicates that representa- tive institutions have often been imperilled by popular rulers before whom the people’s vigilance relaxed. So, too, power is likely to be reck- lessly bestowed in response to a plausible appeal to the heart which dime the reason. Perhaps those who analyze and reflect will find lurking beneath a touching sentiment a de- termined endeavor to obtain a grant of power from the people, revolu- tionary in its effect upon their pri- vate life and government, and en- tirely unnecessary to accomplish an object which all desire. As the Dearborn Independent recently re- marked, "About the only way to mislead an American is to appeal to his humanitarianism.- It is the sur- est way to mislead the American woman”. Analysis of the proposed ament- ment demonstrates that it is not a “Child Labor” amendment, but an exclusive grant of power to the Congress, which directly and by im- ‘filication confers control over the labor and education of all persons under eighteen to an extent not now possessed by any State of the Union. interesting ’2 There some pisses ct athis proposition which In the Name of Child Labor, What Is This? Shall We Approve of Proposed Twentieth Amendment to U. S. Constitution? By STANLEY M. POWELL (Lansing Correspondent of The Business Farmer.) merit further study and investiga- tion. The Supreme Court having twice declared unconstitutional fed— eral “child labor” laws, Congress now seeks to have conferred upon itself powers which no state has ev- er presumed to exercise over its own citizens, for it is not open to dispute that no state possesses the power to prohibit the labor of all persons under 17, much less under 18 years of age. The power to prohibit carries much more than the right to pre- vent the acceptance of employment. It includes of necessity the author— ity to fix the conditions under which any person under eighteen may be permitted to engage in any occupa- tion. It necessarily includes the power to say to such persons what hours they may work and at what employment, the wages which must be paid, the education or training preliminary to work. It has been said that the proposed amendment does not contemplate the early enactment of legislation aimed at the control of farm labor. This gratuitous assumption respect- ing future regulation is met not only by the fact that Congress is to be granted exclusive control over the labor of all persons under 18 years on the farm and elsewhere, even to the point of prohibition against any direction or request of the parent, but most significant, every effort to exclude horticulture or agriculture, or any form of out- door work, from the terms of the amendment was opposed and de- feated by its proponents. Moreov— er, the National Child Labor Com— mittee, the chief proponent of the amendment, distributed to every Congressman prior to the vote on the proposal, booklets which carry the plain implication that labor up— on the farm now needs legislative attention. The pamphlet points out that, under-the census of 1920, 647,309 boys and girls between 10 and 15 years of age inclusive are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Again, the booklet states “agriculture” is the only important field of work entirely uncontrolled “by legislation". Again, “the South, because of its agricul- tural character, still leads in child laborers. " and “investigation shows that there are many of these at work in eugarbeet fields, cranberry bogs, cotton plantations and other agricultural pursuits throughout the country.” The figures of the Federal census for 1920 show that 88 per cent of those under 16 who are partially or occasionally, as well as constantly, employed at any farm task, reside in the home, and work they perform is on the farm of their parents. Is it to be conclusively presumed, that Federal legislation and a Federal bureau is essential to protect suc children against their parents? On the day Calvin Coolidge became President of the United States his 14—year-old son received $3.50 for his labor in a neighbor’s tobacco field. Of course, we would be the last to approve or countenance undesirable employment conditions for the youth of this or any other state, but an impartial survey of the situation shows that this matter of child labor is being quite well taken care of by the several states. Perhaps, this is being done just as efficiently and no doubt more cheaply and intelligent~ 1y than would result were this mat- ter in the hands of a far-off super- bureaucracy at Washington. Progress of State Regulation Have the states been neglectful of their great obligation in regard to the control of child labor? Let the record of their action in the decade from 1910 to 1920 provide the an- swer, and let the recapitulation be made, not by a biased critic, but by the Children’s Bureau of the Depart- ment of Labor. “The census of 1920 records a considerable decrease since 1910 in the number of children reported at work. Although the total child population 10 to 15 years of age, inclusive, increased 15.5 per cent during this period, the number of working children reported decreas- ed almost half (46.7 per cent). A corresponding decrease took place in the proportion of all children of these ages who are employed in gainful occupations from 18.4 per cent in 1910 to 8.5 per cent in 1920.” (Child Labor in U. S. 1924, Children’s Bureau Pub. 114, p. 9.) In other words, the census of 1920 discloses 1,500,000 more children between 10 and 16 than in 1910, but 900,000 fewer at work: Again the Children's Bureau in- forms us: Motorist Pays Quarter of Cent a Mile O‘TORIS’IB of the country pay in the form of gasoline taxes and registration fees an aver- age of only a quarter of a cent a mile according to the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. That is what the fees paid in a year amount to when divided by 6,- 000 which is believed to be the aver- age motorist's annual mileage. The average license fee per mile travell- ed is one-flfth of a cent and the gas- oline taxes paid make up the differ- ence of one-twenty—fifth of a cent. The motorist or truck operator is assured of a good return from the taxes he‘pays since the receipts are very largely devoted to road con— struction and maintenance. In 1923, ' 81 per cent' of the motor vehicle 1i- cense revenues and 58 per cent of the gasoline taxes were turned over to the state highway departments for expenditure under their super- vision and a considerable portion of the remainder was expended by the counties for road nmoees. Consideration of the gasoline tax is of special interest to the motor vehicle operator. Thirty-five states now have this form of tax, the rates ranging from one to three cents with the exception of one state which has a four cent tax. A one cent gasoline tax increases the cost of operating the average vehicle by less than a tenth of a cent per mile. On a trip from Washington to Phila— delphia the tax would amount to 10 cents. The trip over the Lincoln Highway from New York to San Francisco would be taxed $2.50. It it interesting to compare these rates with the toll charges which motorists formerly had to pay on toll roads. On six different turn- pikes in Virginia and Maryland tolls amounting to $5.05 were charged for a total of 187 miles which is equivalent to 2.7 cents a mile. If a state attempted to charge this same rate for the use of the public high- ways by automobiles it would have to establish a gasoline tax of 36 cents per gallon “State standards relating to the employment of children where also raised in a number of States during this period. Laws fixing the mini- mum age for going to work were strengthened in at least one-half the States, either by raising the age or by increasing the number of occupa- tions .to which the law applied, or in both ways. In many States these measures were supplemented and the number of child workers conse— quently reduced by raising the edu- cational, physical, or other require- ments which a child must meet be— fore being permitted to go to work. The number of States fixing a maxi- mum working day of eight hours for children under 16 in any consid- erable number of occupations in- creased from 7 to 28, and the number of those having no prohibi- tion of night work of such children fell from 23 to 7 during the decade. The possibility of adequate enforce- ment of these various regulations was increased by both legislative and administrative action. More- over, the standards of compulsory education laws were generally rais- ed so that fewer children could leave school for work. "* A new type of legislation, providing for the part-time education of employed children during their working hours, was passed during the de- cade in 22 states.” While we all agree that too long hours of arduous toil which inter- fere with the child’s proper mental and physical growth and education, is indefensible and should not be tolerated, we may well guard against going too far in the other extreme and forbidding all useful employment until our young men and young women are 18 years of age. As William Godfrey of Winthrop, Maine, says, writing in the new England Homestead: “Of all the fool stufl.’ called legis- lation that I have ever heard of, the proposed 20th amendment to the national constitution takes the cake. A fine thing when parents have brought children into the world and are going to no end of trouble and expense trying to raise them into re- spectable manhood and womanhood of whom their country may be proud, for Congress to step in and say they shall not do any work—— that to help father and mother is a crime and a curse to children and country!" The Woman Patriot, Washington. D. 0., adds: "The youth of the Nation up to 18 years would be outrageously wronged by national prohibitions of the right to work for their parents or for their owu self-support and higher education.” Another interesting phase of the problem is brought out in the fol- lowing quotation from the New York Commercial: “A nurse in the home of one of those Chicago youths who murdered the Franks boy says that until he was fourteen years old he did not even lace his own shoes. He was pampered and petted and made to think that his mission in life was to have other people do things for him. He is credited with being a brilliant student in college, but a moral idiot. “We cite the foregoing statement of the nurse to call attention to the fact that the greatest danger con- fronting the young people of this country today is idleness and spend- money unearned. And yet there is a widespread belief in the wisdom of amending the Constitution of the United States after a manner to per- mit any state to legislate ‘no work’. (Continued on Page 17) ’ f Here we are, just in time to meet Francis A. Flood before he boards the Leviathan for his European trip. Mr. Flood was born in Iowa, November 13, 1896, went through college and then became instruc- tor in mathematics at the Nebraska School of Agriculture. Last fall he went to the Iowa. State College as :1 member ‘of the English department. In June of this year he severed connections with the college to give all his time to writing.

The only alternative seemed to be that I must study something. Thus it came about that I made arrangements to go with the American Agricultural Editors As- sociation on their convention trip—- “to study agricultural conditions in Europe.” Just the thing. I would go with the editors and I would study agricultural condi— tions. The situation was a little dif- ferent from the original plan. In- stead of having one tried but tested partner I would have a dozen or more; instead of going over second, that, as it actual- ly turned out, I’m afraid the study of agriculture suf- fered and I spent more time visiting with Pat and Niels and having a good time with the folks by the side of the road.

In order of importance perhaps first impress—V ions come first, but last impreSsionsjt are the more lasting after all. My first impression of Europe was a foreshadowed and perhaps a bit dim- med by three last and powerful im- pressions of America and her great- ness which I received just before reaching England. They were Ni- agara Falls, New York City, and the United States Ship Leviathan. On the train coming into New York with me were two aspirants for the American Olympic team on their way to the final tryouts in Bos- ton. They were from my home town and neither had ever been in New York City before. My old partner, Jim Wilson, was at the Grand Cen— tral Station when we arrived about six o’clock and we decided to spend the rest of the evening seeing the city. Apparently our decision was also the “Judgement of the ten mil- lion” for there seemed to be that many doing the same thing. First, we must eat and since most of the biggest cabarets had been closed and padlocked just previously for alleged violation of the alleged liquor laws, we naturally went to the next most typically New York eating place, an Automat. “Reminds me of the old home— stead days, Jim/{Icouldn’t help ob- serving when I saw the people sit— ting at the little tables with their hats on, eating only what they could carry in their hands. But I didn’t have time to continue insulting the New Yorker with any more such odious comparisons to provincial Wyoming homesteaders, for the mechanics of getting our supper de- manded full attention. Three sides of the big room looked like the little windowed letter boxes in a post office lobby, except that in- stead of bills and monthly state— ments inside there reposed bowls of steaming hot soup, beefstakes, little plates of mashed potatoes, salads, and everything to eat. Instead of turning the knobs, a nicklc is the combination that unlocks the door, and the rest is up to you. Red Layton, the big Olympic hurdler from Nebraska’s barnyards, eased up to the milk spout with his empty glass and ask the man ahead to “Hist’.” “You’ve got to put a nickle in that cow, Red,” we told him, and the impolite New Yorkers laughed. Red inserted his nickel and the milk flowed into his glass. .lt rose rapidly to the top—and there seem- ed to be no way to shut it offl. “So, boss, so there, Whoa!”.Red yelled in his desperation, but just before” it. reached the top of his glass the flow of milk automatically stopped.

The teacher rapped on her desk with a ruler, and said, “Time for Work,” then looking around the room she saw Johnny Geiger pretending to study very hard. “John Geiger, did you or did you not run away from school last Friday?" she asked. Johnny looked up, "No, mam,” he re- plied. “Then what did you do I should like to know” she asked quickly, looking over her glasses at Johnny. “I walked, all the way home" he said picking up his book. Of course the school couldn’t help laughing, but Johnny could not understand the joke at all. Miss Jones only turned her back on Johnny, and began to wipe her glasses wih a small silk handkerchief. At half past nine the third and fourth grade spelling class was called to recite. "Ernest. well fish,” Ernest spelled ‘N-i-n-n-o-w." “No. goodness no,” can you spell it right?" Carl sloyly spelled, “w-h—a—l-e.” With an impatient stamp of her foot, she sent them to their seats to study. Every one got their lessons after that until after noon when there was quite a lot of noise in the room. Miss Jones looked up from her book. “Harold." "Yes Mam." "That tin box makes too much noise. It’s a regular rattle box, throw it in the stove." III—I'll "Throw it in the stove I say. I’m not going to listen to its noise any longer." “But it's got—" “Never mind, put it in the stove," she said, rising fiom her chair. . Harold walked to the stove, the box in. If you had been there ten minutes later you would have seen a very queer sight. Miss Jones was rushing to the scene with a broom and dustpan to sweep up the ashes that were scattered all around the stove. The small boys and girls were all in the furthest corner of the room. Harold picked himself up from the floor, Valeria Geiger was standing on a desk, and Ethel Davis. and some others were standing in front of the stove laughing. You see the box had been filled with she said. “Carl and put small cartridges and it would hate saved Iam‘ School . closed for uproot ' _ and Miss Jones walked home with asad heart; _ The school clock‘only'pu‘t both. hands over its ,face and wept—Melville.

I don’t like school very much es- pecially when we have a rough teacher. I don't think I will describe myself as I did it last time or maybe you didn't get my letter.

Con- gress has granted the state permis- sion to ~make such a constitutional amendment. ‘ ‘..‘We hear much about the crime of child labor, but always the statis- tics- of the matter are ignored. “0!! the other hand, tlke country is cursed by young criminals who never worked when they were young. The habit of idleness and irresponsibility fixed in youth has cursed them in maturity. We think they would have been blessed by toil. What do you think?” There are plenty of people and organisations who are in favor of strict child labor regulation who do. not favor the proposed amendment. That grand old farmers’ organiza- ion, the Grange, goes on record in m ofllclal organ, the National ' Grange Monthly, as follows: "The Grange has always been on record as opposed to any exploita- tion of child labor. Batit is to be regnetted that a way has not been found to so word a child labor law' as to protect the nation from evils of a vicious system and yet not com- mit a still greater wrong, both to the nation and to the children them- selves. Because the pending Feder- al measure does not meet these re— quirements, it will be a serious mis- take if it is written into our Con— stitution.” Thomas R. Marshall, former Vice- President of the United States, writ- ing in the Washington, D. C. Star, August 24, 1924, summed up the situation in a few words when he said: “The child labor amendment un- doubtedly was designed to protect children from dangerous and vicious occupations; but it doesn’t say so. It is not restricted to children, to manual labor, nor to hurtful and im- moral occupations. Under it Con- gress could prevent any person under 18 years of age from doing anything manually or intellectually for compensation. Congress could even prevent a father from ordering his boy to pick strawberries for his breakfast. Yet representatives of the people with knowledge of this fact submitted the amendment to the legislatures of the several States, and defend their act on the ground that Congress would never use it power foolishly. Unfortun- ately, records of the Congress do not uphold that contention.” It is evident that new and revolu- tionary powers cannot be granted to any government officialsgat Wash- ington without the surrender of some of the parental control which parents have previously enjoyed and exercised. Right Reverend Warran A. Candler, a leading Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church recent- ly declared: f‘This ‘Child Labor’ amendment proceeds on the absurd assumption that, Congress will be more tenderly concerned for children than their own parents, and that from the dis- tant capital congressional tender- ness and wisdom will do better for them than their affectionate fathers and mothers, watching over them in their homes. This assumption ap— praises congressional government far below its value.” Just how far the effects of this amendment may extend is indicated by the following words by the wife of Zinoveiv, president of the Young Communists Internationale, whose American section first proposed and is backing the so-called Child Labor amendment. In discussing the “des- irability” of having the government assume all care of the children of the nation, which they desire just as stronglyfor the United States as for Russia, she remarks: . “We must nationalize the child- ren. We must remove the children from the pernicious influence of the family. We must register the child— ren, or—let‘ , us speak plainly—we must nationalize them. Thus they will from the very start remain under the beneficial influence of c o m m u n is t: kindergartens and schools. Here they will grow up to A 'be real communists. To compel the mother to surrender her child to us, to the soviet-State, that is the prac- tical task before us." Another ,_phase of the situation (Continued tech as. a)": “infringement of what we have come to consider as state rights. Regard- ing this point, Francis D. Patterson, M. D. of Philadelphia declares: “This proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution if ratified by the necessary number of States, is but an entering wedge for a long series of other amendments which Would so change and alter our Fed- eral Constitution as to make the sev- eral States of the United States but provinces under bureacratic control from Washhgton." v Miss Nila F. Allen, former head of the Child Labor Tax Division, Bu- reau of Internal Revenue, declares that the present system of control by states is successful and adequate. She writes: “There is no child-labor condition in any State that cannot be handled easily by the Mate upon the demand of its citizens. There is every in- dication that all the States are now well informed on the subject of child labor, a porogress which is more remarkable in view of the possibility of a constitutional amendment which would effectually destroy all the re- sults of State initiative.” Among the many direct and in- direct results of the adoption of the proposed amendment which we should carefully consider, is its ef— fect in complicating our already in- tricate governmental machinery, with a consequent increase in tax burdens. When we consider these things, the voice of Jefferson from the past sounds a moderate note when he warns us. “"‘were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want. bread. It is by this par- tition of cares, descending in gradu— ation from general to particular, that the mass of human aflairs may be best managed for the good and pros- perity of all.” Of course, there are those who say that Congress would never use the full limit of the power which this amendment proposes to bestow upon it. Let us not be too sure about this point. Congressman Ram- seyer, of Iowa, has well said: “Why should we confer a power on Congress that nobody ever ex- pects to exercise? In other words, we never confer power upon Con- gress unless we expect Congress to exercise that power, and heretofore Congress has always proceeded to exercise all power conferred.” Popular institutions represent not merely an endeavor to establish gov- ernment, but to protect the people against the agencies they create. Thomas Jefferson, in a famous state— ment more than a century ago, dis- posed of the suggestion that grants of political power could be safely made, on the assurance that they would not be abused. He said: “It would be a dangerous delusion if our confidence in the men of our choice should silence our fears for the safety of our rights. Confidence is everywhere the parent of despot- ism. , Free government is founded in jealousy, not in confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power. Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence will go. In questions of power, then, let not more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." BIBLE THOUGHTS OWE NO MAN ANYTHING, but to love one anqgher for he that loveth another hath‘ fulfilled the law. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: there- fore love is the fulfilling of the law. ——Romans 13:8, 10. OF A TRUTH I percieve that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.—Acts 10:34,35. Hts: THAT LOVETH SILVER shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. When goods in- crease, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the g owners thereof, saving the beholdlng . . . 3 of, them with their eyes?———Ecclesi- , which chandn‘séflf”m*att‘ention¥ is the ~ ‘ ‘ ' " - sates 5":10,,._11.’ - - ‘fl' '2' ;—. . N60 The most important development since the cord tire itself—that’s what they’re saying of SUPERTWIST, the remarkable new cord fabric perfected by Goodyear! The superiority of . this enduring material lies in its greater elas— , ticity—it far o-u-t—s-t—r-e-t—c-h-e-s the breaking , point of standard cord fabric. Hence it affords Goodyear Tires extreme protection against stone bruise and like injuries. SUPERTWIST is used only by Goodyear, and is built into Goodyear balloon tires of both kinds—to fit new wheels, or the wheels now on your car.

Thou shalt not slumber late in the morning, but shalt rise early and deliver thy milk to the factory, for he that goeth late causeth the buttermaker to use profane lang- uage. ' II. Thou shalt not cast all the dirt thou canst brush off the cow into the milkpailu III. Thou shalt not take any cream for thy tea or coffee, for When thou gettes't thy dividends one shall say to another, “Why taketh it more milk here for a pound of but— ter than at any other creamery?” Then shalt the buttermaker arise and hold thee up to ridicle with the Babcock rotary test. IV. Thou shalt not mix water with thy milk, thou nor thy man servant n'or hired girl, for so surely as thou doest this thing thy name shall be Dennis over the length and breadth of the whole milk route. V. Thou shalt not feed thy cows too much potatoes, onions, horse— radish, mustard or bad cabbage, for these things, though they may be as cheap as all outdoors, cause the but— termaker to gnash his teeth exceed- ingly, and the butter cater to- buy his butter somewhere else. VI. Thou shalt not set thy can of night’s milk in the cellar with the cover off in order to use it as a trap to catch rats and mice therein, neither in the woodshed as a tempt— ation to thy neighbor’s cat. VII. Thou shalt not carry away more milk or buttermilk than thy share, lest someone will say con— cerning thee: “For a. wonder, onc hog carrieth food for another.” VIII. Thou shalt not use unclean cans, but shalt cause thy cans to be washed every day, for a filthy can is an abomination in the biitl‘orma‘r- er’s sigth, and he will visit his wrath upon him that bringeth it. IX. Thou shalt not trouble the buttermaker, saying: “When shall I receive my pay?" for verily I say unto you, he knoweth not nor car— eth a little bit. X. Thou shalt not say unto an- other, “Lo, behold, have not these milk handlers a soft snap? They re— ceive much pay and work not very hard at all.” Verily I say unto you this is a Whopper. They rise early and toil much, and peradventure the board of directors refuseth to buy another separator; they will be obliged to toil Sunday morning when other people are fanning themselves within the gates of the synagogue—J. B. Ford Co . HIGH LIGHTS IN YEAR’S TESTING WORK ETWEEN the dates July 1, 1923, to July 1, 1924, fifty-five Michigan Cow Testing Associa- tions have finished an association year. The Oceana County C. T. A., L. D. Leisenring, cow tester, had the highest butterfat production aver- age per cow of all Michigan Cow Testing Associations. One hundred and sixty—six cows produced an av— erage of 342.6 lbs. butter fat and 7058.8 lbs. milk for the association year. The West Allegan C. T. A., Leslie Wilcox, tester, stood second in but— ter fat production per cow. This association averaged 335.9 lbs. fat and .7170 lbs. milk. The Kalamazoo, Newaygo and Macomb No. 2 C. T. A.’s ranked third, fourth and fifth, respectively, in highest butterfat production per cow. The Clinton-Shiawassee C. T. A., H. V. Armstrong, tester, had cthe highest milk production average per cow of all Michigan Cow Testing Associations. This Association av- eraged 9101.7 lbs. milk and 317.2 lbs. fat. 0. E. Burke of Dimondale, Mich- igan, a member of the South Eaton C. T. A. (Hans Kardel, tester), owns the herd having the highest average butterfat production in the fifty-five Michigan C. T. A.'s. This honor stamps the Burke herd as the best among 1436 herds representing 15.491 cows. Burke has seven purebred Holsteins in his herd. These seven cows’ averaged 513.6 lbs. fat and 1.44724 lbs, milk. A hard of six" purebred Jerseys _ grade Guernseys owned by Henry Myers, Ocea'na C. T. A., ranks second in butter fat pro- duction. This herd produced 488.85 lbs. butterfat and 9,198.3 lbs. milk. Wm. Knobloch of the East Allegan C. T. A. had 18 purebred and grade Jerseys that averaged 465.5 lbs butterfat and 8,752.7 lbs. milk. . The Newaygo C. T. A.—oldest in. the U. _S. A.——had two herds that ranked in the select circle ofithe five highest producing Michigan C. T. “A. herds. A. 0. Nelson and 'E. E. Price of this Association ranked fourth and fifth respectively. Nel- son’s five purebred and grade Jerseys averaged 464.48 lbs butter- fat and Price’s six purebred and a lbs. fat. veraged 460.55 T. C. Tiedebohl’s purebred Hol- stein cow, Community Inka Queen De K01, six years old, was the high- est individual butterfat producer of all COWS in Michigan Cow Testing Assoc1ations. This cow produced ’zi‘ieldsbltifl'iiai and 23,141 lbs. milk. e o e on «Buren C. T. A. gs to the South Van The five highest milk ro ' cows out ‘of the total of 15f)49ijlificiilv§ in _55 Michigan C. T. A.’s are Hol- steins. Four of the five cows are purebreds and one cow is a, grade. M. L. Noon of the Jackson Grass Lake C. T. A. owns the grade cow. John Buth had highest and also the third highest milk producing cow. T. C. Tiedebohl and John Calvert owned the other two purebred Hol- stems.~Dairy Extension, M. A. C. TEST CATTLE BEFORE SHIPPING We are going to move to Wiscon- sin this fall, and we wish to take 3 cows and two young heifers with us. How would be the best way to go about it? Would they have to be tuberculin tested? Could we rent a car and take five head of stock. and what little furniture We have?—J. B., Croswell, Mich. THE cattle to be moved to Wis- consin should be properly tu— berculin tested by an approved veterinarian before shipment is made. There would be no objection to shipping the cattle in the same car with the other material that is to. be moved. The Wisconsin m u— ations permit the immigrant cattle» being shipped, subject to the tin; rc- ulin test at the destination. or in a public stock yard enroute, provided it is impractical to apply the test at point of origin. It would not be ad- Visable, however, ’to follow such a procedure for in the event of a re- actor being located, the state indem~ nity would be lost to the owner. Sometime within 60 days of the date of the proposed shipment. the, owner should make application to the State Department of Agriculture for a permit to cover the test of his cattle, indicating therein the number of cattle to be tested. the veterinar- ian selected for the work and the reason for having the test made. A permit will then be issued and. if re- actors are found as the result of the- test, the state indemnity will be» paids—B. J. Killham. State Veterin-. arian. _' VETERINARY I DEPARTMENT i CATTLE GO LAME WHEN CLOVER BLOSSOMS I have a ranch of over six bun- dred acres and have three hundred cattle. l have trouble with lame— ness when clover comes in blossom and would like to know the cause and what to do for it.-——J. C., Crump, Mich. HE lameness is probably due to, certain fungi which infest the clover. The principle indica— tion in treating this condition would- be to remove the cattle from the in— fested field by placing them in a. feed lot for a few days. As a rule. the animals rapidly recover when they are removed from the infected. pasture and, after a few days, can again be turned back into the pas- ture fields—John ”P‘. Hutton, Assoc. Prof. of Surgery and Medicine, M. ‘Y aunt-tie: , the great conference round "l’tabl'e under'ivvhich willlgo two thous- -'~aild" feet-*"_and"'more at' Columbus, Ohio, November 7 to 11 in the rig‘reatest coéoperative house clearing x-“discnssio‘n ever held between repres- m‘entatives of the agricultural com- }‘=munities and the champions of re- ligion in the United States.‘ ' ’ The force that will gather at Col- iaumbus for this epoch—making con- ~. ference will, be marshalled in great regiments—The National Grange, The Farm Bureau Federation and Mother farmers’ organizations have 'agreed to send five hundred able .'representatives of the farmer’s com- munity life—most of them dirt I'iarmers themselves. The forces of .‘religion will flank this movement with five hundred rural preachers and lay readers, men who are very .-close to the soil indeed. To the same conclave will come further :hundreds of students from all over the United States—young men and twomen who are the future leaders ’in agricultural fields who will join .in discussion between the ministers and the people. 'When the conference is over, .there will be pretty clear pronounce— .ments agreed upon by this great as- semblage on such questions as: What kind of religion will meet :the farmer's needs? What qualifications of religious leadership will be required there- for? What is the religious message of the countryside? What of a rural church that is equipped for service? What is the plan and program of ~ a great national cooperative move- ment in behalf of the country church? Dr. C. J. Galpin of the United States Department of Agriculture says: "It has been estimated that twenty millions of America’s thirty millions of landworkers are without resident pastors, without much of a church organization, and yet subject to intense sectarian consciousness. This is truly a situation of the most stupendous waste of spiritual power in all America’s wasteful history. i'l'he springs of religion are being -'squandered at the very source. The 'headwater hills of God, whence come the cool waters of religion to "the thirsty cities, are suffering fear- ful neglect if not exploitation.” Indicative of the nation-wide in— terest that has been taken in such "questions as the vital issue of the 9farmer and religion, there have been ‘scheduled several months in ad— vance such men as the following to 'speak at our conference: Bishop Francis J. McConnell, Dr. K. L. But- terfleid, Dr. C. J. Galpin, L. J. Tab- er, Master of the National Grange, O. E. Bradfute, President of the ‘Farm Bureau Federation and Dr. "Warren H. Wilson of New York. , EXCHANGE INFORMATION 'A’l‘ INSTITUTE OF COOPERATION XCHANGING the latest informa- tion on co~operative marketing and buying will be the theme of the International Institute of Co- operation when it holds its first ses- sion somewhere in the United States in July, 1925, judging from plans made at a preliminary organi- zation meeting held at Cleveland re- cently at which 50 leading American (so-operators Were in attendance rep— resenting Americau co—operation. H. W. Mumford, dean of the agri-’~ cultural college of the University of Illinois, tendered an invitation to thellnstitute. Other state agricul- tural colleges that invited the Insti- tute are: Ames, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Indiana. An estate near Cleveland has offered a $3,000,000 farm as a permanent home of the Institute, but according to omclals the offer is likely to be rejected since it is not desired to keep the Institute in one region permanently. ‘Economics professors 1mm lead- ing agricultural colleges and eco- nomists of the United States Depart- ment 01 Agriculture are helping purine International.

Prominent co—operators in America will give the American and regional side of co-operative marketing and buying. It is plan- ned to hold some 'later sessions in Europe, giving the American co-op— erative viewpoint to old world co- operators. The Institute will have the serv- ices of picked men from educational institutions and from successful co- operative organizations to lead study courses and conferences. The Institute will be incorporated as a non—stock, non-profit organiza- tion, without fees, dues or assess- ments, and its revenues shall con- sist of voluntary contributions, gifts, bequests and endowments and tuition charges. The next meeting of the Institute will be held in the Illinois Agricul- tural Association offices during the International Live Stock Exposition, Nov. 29 to Dec. 6.

MONEY! (Continued from page 11.) Maggie, with some dignity, shaking her head at him reprovingly. “I thought you’d be glad, sir!" “I am glad. I‘m so glad that, when I come to make my will now—I shouldn’t wonder if I remembered them all again— a littleb—that is, if I have anything left to will,” he teased shamelessly. “Oh, by the way that makes me think. I’ve just been putting up a monument to John Smith." "Stanley!” Miss Maggie’s voice car- ried genuine shocked distress. "But, my dear Maggie, something was due the man,” maintained Fulton, reach— ing for a small flat parcel near him and placing it in Miss» Maggie’s hands. "But—oh, Stanley, how could you?" she shivered, her eyes on the words the millionaire had penciled on the brown paper covering of the parcel. Sacred to the memory of John Smith. "Open it," directed the man. With obvious reluctance Miss Maggie loosened the paper covers and peered within. The next moment she gave a glad cry. In her hands lay a handsome brown leather volume with gold letters, reading: The Blaisdell Family y John Smith “And you—did that?" eyes luminous. "Yes. I shall send a copy each to Frank and Jim and Miss Flora, of course. That's the monument. I thought it due— Mr. John Smith.

Cured His Rupture I was badly ruptured while lifting a. trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and com- pletely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will ive full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation. if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 44L Marcellus Avenue Manes- quan, N.

Head is draWn down between her feet, her neck looks to be stretched out several inches. If she is excited she throws herself and can not get her balance. You pick her up and you find she is all of a quiver.— Mrs. W. 8., Bear Lake, Mich. HE symptoms described are not quite sufficient for diagnosis. If the neck appears paralized it may be suggestive of botulism. If the neck is tense it is indicative of so—called wry neck. The former is not curable in advanced stages while the latter may be relieved by suitable treatment. Usually a dose of epsom salts may accomplish a cure. However, the bird may be suffer- ing from other diseases than the ones mentioned and should be ex- amined by a veterinarian.—-——H. J. Stafseth, Res. Assoc. in Bacteriol— ogy, M. A. C. RATION DEFIClE-NT IN ANMAL PROTEIN Last year at about this time or earlier my flock of 12—weeks-old chicks became sick and I lost a great number and now I am notic— ing a. few With the same symptoms. The comb starts to turn black and there is looseness of the bowels. At the present time I am feeding equal parts of corn, new wheat and oats ground and mixed at each feeding with just water enough to hold it together, twice a day and new wheat once a day, as I do not have milk they get only water to drink. Part of roosters weigh 2 or nearly 2 pounds—E. B. R., Manchester, Mich. T may be advisable for you to for- ward one or two affected speci- mens to Doctor Stafseth of the Bacteriology Department of the M. A. C., in order to get an accurate diagnosis of the disease or ailment now affecting your stock. Ordinar- ily, late hatched chicks that are not roosting at this time, are extremely susceptible fall colds, and I am of the opinion this condition is the re— sult of either faulty brooding, or faulty feeding, rather than the pre— valence of a diseased condition among the flock. I would suggest giving the entire flock Epsom salts at the rate of one quarter pound to each hundred birds, and feeding them liberally on grain which should include about half cracked corn, and Whole wheat. The mash you are now feeding should have added to it about ten per cent meat scrap in the absence of skimmed milk, or other milk by— products. The colony house or brooding quarters should be kept in a dry and clean condition, espec— ially if the chicks are roosting on the ground or floor. The present ration is deficient in animal protein, and the chicks will seldom make a satisfactory growth where meat scrap, milk by products, or some other form of animal protein is not included in the ration. This slow growth is usually associated with a general run down condition which makes the stock susceptible to colds or a diseased condition at this time of yearr—E, C. Foreman, Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C. CRATE-FAT’J‘ICNING POULTRY N crate—fattening poultry, if the I crates are arranged one above another in tiers there should be tray bottoms, which can readily be pulled out and cleaned. If only one layer of crates is used, flatted or Wire bottoms, which permit‘the droppings to fall through are suffic- ient. By putting crates one above another many-birds can be cared for in a small building and every bird be Within reach and sight. Food is kept in troughs in front of. the crates. To accommodate a half dozen birds, the crate 30 inches long 18 inches deep and 16 inches high will take care of them nicely. For farm use—crate may be 6 feet long, a foot and a half deep and 15 to 18 inches high, divided into three com- partments, each of which will hold five or six birds. ¢ DOultr De 0 artnienti laying, looks bright and is in per—‘ i ‘1‘; ' The only essentials are a. slatted front which will permit all the birds to get 'at the trough at the same time, and an open bottom to‘ let the droppings through. The crate should contain"as many birds as it will hold without crowding. Treat the birds for lice before being placed in the crates. The ration should be light for a couple of days until they become accustomed to the new surroundings. Thereafter food maybe kept constantly before the birds for a fortnight during which crate fattening is continued. The feed should be a mixure of such ground grains as wheat, oats, bar— ley or buckwheat; a small amount of shorts or middlings, and some alfalfa meal if available. Mix to a. consistency of batter which will readily pour from pail to trough. Buttermilk or sour milk is more di— gestible than sweet milk in making this batter. The alternate use of sweet and sour milk will very quick- ly cause indigestion. If milk is not procurable, a beef broth may be substituted. All raw feed is prefer- able to cooked. Salt should be used very sparingly if at all. FRUIT and ORCHARD RASPBERRY CANE BORER Please tell me what ails my red raspberries. The tips of the new shoots die. I just set them out last year.—O. B., Millersburg, Mich. HE symptom which you describe T seems to indicate the presence of the raspberry cane borer. This insect makes two girdles or rings around the stem and deposits an egg in the stem between the two girdles and then the egg hatches the larva or grub, works down through the pit and if allowed to remain sometimes works down to the base of the stem. The wilted tips should be cut off below the rings which you notice, removed from the patch and burned. —R. E. Loree, Ass’t. Professor of Horticulture, M. A. C.

UR many experiments on the use of fertilizers on sandy soils of Michigan lead us to conclude that the rye crop should receive from two hundred to two hundred and fifty pounds of a 2-16—2 fertiliz- er, provided the crop is not follow- ing a mixed meadow or the land has not been manured, otherwise, we would advise two hundred pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate. If it is planned to seed one of the clovers in tho'ryc in the spring, it is advisable go add a 2-12—2 in the first case an a 0—12—6 where man- ure has been used or where the crop is following a mixed meadow of some sort.—M.

And I believe he would have just as good results that way as the young man'Wearing gray spats who laugh— ed at him, would with the milkstool. 'Finally -we had gathered up all our little dishes and were enjoying the meal. At several tables about the room the women were smoking cigarettes. Red’s eyes bugged out and be none too quickly remarked, “I thought they kept all that kind of women in one end of town.” The rest of the evening we dash- ed arOund New York from one sub— way to another stopping now and then only long enough to get some more money changed into nickles, the open Sesame for everything in New York. Like flocks of unherded sheep the people of New York swarm down the subway stairs, drop their-nickels into the slotted turn- stiles and grab one of those mighty electric trains that dart about he— neath the city all day and all night. The train comes to a sudden stop from.: its sixty mile gait, the electric- a1 loud speakers in the car announce "Times Square”, the doors automat- ically open, half the people hurry out and hundreds more are on the :platform ready to jump in and take their places in the scant minute of stop. Half of the people who left that train dash for another and in five or ten minutes have been whisk— ed away off to the other side of the island, where there are just as many people and just as many trains, and all hurrying. . We visited the Bowery, Second Avenue, Greenwich Village, Brook— lyn Bridge, and rode down Fifth Avenue on top of a bus, and after a very'few days I was ready to go back to somewhere in the middle west where we can keep up with the times without so much hurrying, where the women have not traded off their feminine charm for the to— bacco habit, where you can speak to your neighbor, where there are a few American, and where the barb- ers and waiters don’t have to beg. Although New York City flies the United States flag, and is a part of our constitutional government, 18th Amendment and all. and is an able representation of the power and en- ergy and enthusiasm and general vigorous greatness of America, still it is so “foreign” in many ways and is so vastly different from that great bulk of our country which really makes, and is, “The United States of America" that it seems as though you begin your experiences in for— eign lands as soon as you strike New York. In my middle western mind there is as much between “America,” and all that that name means to me, and New York City as there is between New York City and London. Amer- ica means to me, as it does to all r it «3 Us ~ real Americans, and to" those mil-i lions of foreigns who look forward to some great day when they can emigrate to America, in spite of our new immigration law, it means a land of freedom and of room, of happy families and green grass, and education for every one, and com— fort and house-to-house democracy and more than an even chance to be- come independent, a promised land where poverty and crime and drink and uniformed officials and class dis- tinctions all are little known—— “America” means all of these to me, but New York City means none of it! ' New York City is not American; it is an island off our eastern coast. and on that island of Manhattan, is the city of New York, there are more Italians than there are in Rome, and more Greeks than there are in Athens, the capital cities of their own countries. There are more Rus- sians than there are whiskers in Trotzky’s beard or bolsheviks in his army, and there are more Jews than there are in all Judea. In fact, the minority of New York’s population are Americans—and inany of these must be off-color Americans or they wouldn’t live in such a foreign city. A visiting English Editor once told me———in Iowa, by the way—that our all—powerful Congress should pass a law forbidding visiting journ- alists and other travelers from for- eign lands to return to their own countries after having seen New York City until they had at least been west of the Appalachian moun— tains to see some of America also, to prevent their going back and giv- ing false and mistaken impressions of what they might have thought was the United States. There is no denying the greatness of New York. It is the center of all things—on this continent at least—— art, music, the theatre, industry, banking, commerce. It is the larg- est city in the world. (Of course, London is, too, but London figures it one way and New York another.) It has perhaps more something-or- other—est things in the world than any other city. It is the great nerve center of a great nation. It is rich. It is beautiful in its grandeur and in its sheer incomprehensible mass. Sophisticated, indeed, would be he who would get no “kick” out of New York City, .the doorway to the United States. But I had been down on the dock, and I’d seen the Leviathan, the big- gest ship in the world, the ship that was to take me to England, and I was anxious to leave New York, and see a foreign city on foreign soil.

FOOTE, Market Editor. ESPITE all the talk about “presidential years” being bad for business, it cannot be de— nied truthfully that the general business of the country has under- gone a marked improvement, and I this includes farm products, all the grains having shared in the upward movement. Wheat leads off, in the rise of prices, with rye bringing prices which a year ago would have seemed fabulous; while Within a short time all the live stock markets have had a genuine boom in prices due to greatly lessened receipts and active buying. Many other farm products are embraced in the ad— vances over prices paid a year ago, and all this has come about legiti— mately, without legislation. Our foreign trade is getting back to normal, and there is every reason to look for large gains in trade with Germany as a result of the accept- ance of the Dawes plan for repara- tion settlement. The banking sitau- tion of the country is very strong, as was shown by the reports made during the recent convention of bankers in Chicago, and it was brought out by leading bank- ers that the country is accum— ulating suflicient capital for a vast amount of development work and to supply anticipated foreign wants. But, even leaving out anticipated in- creased trade With foreign coun— tries. there is a largely increased de- mand for all sorts of products for consumption by our oWn fast grow- ing population. Much space could be filled by enumerating the ad- vances which have been made by various farm products, but in all probability further advances could take place before the paper was in the hands of the army of subscribers. Briefly, it may be said that when this was written wheat had made an advance of 31 cents in five weeks, which is going it some, While the advance in VVinnepeg was 35 cents. Rye has come into unusual promin— ence as a fast advancing grain, with a great export demand, while corn has lost much of its advance, which was partly speculative, based upon fears of damage from early frosts. The change in the hog market has been phenomenal, the late remark- able falling off in the receipts in the Chicago and other western markets having forced prices to a level which probably few, if any, had expected. Cattle have joined in the boom, and lambs too have advanced to prices which make glad the hearts of sheepmen. Wonderful Boom in Wheat Months ago when farmers had hopes of better times in the wheat trade any one who dared to predict that in early October May wheat would sell on the Chicago market at ”.5156 a bushel would have been regarded as much too hopeful, yet this has taken place, and nobody can tell where the boom is going to stop; although such an upheaval is usually followed by at least tempor- ary reactions. Recent prices were the highest for wheat, rye and bar- ley reached on this crop, and they were the result of large buying by exporters. Immense profits were taken by holders of wheat and rye. while foreign news was largely re- sponsible for the wild wave of spec- ulation which swept over the grain rggrkets. On the boom May wheat Gold at the highest price touched since May, 1921, and the highest known in the month of October, with the exception of 1916. Rye joined in the wild market, selling 25 cents higher in less than a week, rye being the chief bread grain ‘in all eastern European countries. Oats sold at the highest price for May de- livery nr. this crop, and corn had a sharp advance. Based on the De- partment of Agriculture estimate that United States has only 20,000,- 000 m of "star export, it is figured by the trade that this coun— try has already sold more rye than it theoretically has to spare. An immense business has been trans- acted in wheat by exporters, and in the last few days heavy buying ord- ers from Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Austria, the United King- dom, Latvia, Sweden, Norway and Denmark were filled; The good old times have returned, and it seems strange to look back and recall that several months ago May rye was selling at less than 80 cents a bush— el. These big advances add many millions to the wealth of American farmers, and many farmers may be expected to store their crops for still higher prices. The uncertain element in the situation is the wheat crop of the southern hemisphere. Unless exporters in Argentina and other countries below the equator ship enormous quantities to Europ- ean markets, Chicago traders be— lieve that prices may advance to $2 a bushel. Yearling Cattle Sell Higher Because of moderate cattle re— ceipts in the Chicago market last week and a good local and shipping demand for light weigths and year— lings of the better class, such offer— ings moved upward most of the time,. averaging 50 cents higher. Choice heavy long fed steers, which had sold until quite recently at large reduc- tions in prices because there was a very limited demand for them, ad- vanced as much as 75 cents on smaller offerings and a larger de— mand, but the sentiment of the trade was that any marked increase in these cattle would bring about re- newed breaks in values. The bulk of the beef steers sold for $8.75 to $11.50, with the best class of year— lings bringing $11 to $12 and the best heavies going at $11 to $11.75. Sales were made down to $7 to $8 for the commoner light weight steers, with no good lots of steers selling below $9.75, while good heavy cat- tle sold as low as $9.25. During the latter part of the week some declines took place in prices. Butch— er stock had a good outlet at sub- stantially higher prices for desirable lots, cows and heifers selling at $3.75 to $10.75, while canner and cutter cows sold at $2 to $3.50, bulls at $3 to $6.25 and calves at $6 to $13,. the calf market advancing 75 cents to $1. With smaller offerings of stockers and feeders than of late, they were in fair demand at advances of from 25 to 50 cents, country buy- ing orders being filled at $3.75 to $7.75, with good lots selling mainly at $5.50 to $7. One year ago beef steers were selling at $6.75 to $12.- 75, nine years ago at $5 to $10.50 and sixteen years ago ot $3.10 to $7.60. Combined receipts in twenty markets for the year to late date amount to 10,198,000 head, compar- ing with 10,553,000 3. year ago and 10,002,000 two years ago. Pros- pects look encouraging for the future. Hogs Scarce and Higher Judging from the great falling off which has taken place in the mar- ketingof hogs in Chicago and other western packing centers, the crop of hogs has been pretty largely dis- posed of, and the great boom in prices is easily explained by the law of supply and demand. Eastern shippers took an unusually large pro- portion of the hogs offered last week, and there was an unusually large rise in prices, with prime light hogs selling highest of all. Farmers own- ing healthy growing young hogs should give them the very best care, for they are going to be worth high prices. Present prices are away up, sales a year ago having been made at $6.70 to $8.50 and nineteen years ago at $4.35 to $5.25. Fresh and cured hog products have shared in the upward movement in hogs, but experts of lard and cured hog meats every week are very heavy, although less in volume than a year ago. Re- cent Chicago receipts of hogs have averaged in weight 242 pounds, or seven pounds more than the ten-year average for this season of the year. Combined receipts in twenty markets for the year to late date aggregate 31,034,000 hogs, comparing with 31,434,000 a year ago and 24,529,- 000 two years ago. Last week’s re- ceipts in the Chicago markets were the smallest for any week since Oc- tober, 1920, and the advance for the week amounted to $1, the top being $11.35. Meager receipts and higher prices are expected. High Prices for Lambs Despite greatly increased receipts of western range lambs in the Chi— cago market recently, prices under- went a big advance under the influ- ence of an extremely large local and eastern demand, sales ranging at THE BUSINESS FARMER’S MARKET SUMMARY and Comparison with Markets Two Weeks ago and One Year ago Detroit (Memo Detroit Detroit Oct. 8 Oct. 8 Sept. 24 1 yr. ago WHEAT— No. 2 Red $1.50 1.55@ 1.55 51.85 51.1: No. 2 White 1.52 1.37 1.14 No. 2 Mixed 1.51 1.47 1.59 1.13 CORN— No. 3 Yellow 1.17 F 1.18@ 1.10 , 1.22 - 1.08 No. 4 Yellow 1.13@ 1.15 1.17 1.07 05.13—— No. 2 White .57 .55@ .56 .oo .50 No. 3 White .55 .53@.54 .58 .47 RYE-~ Cash No. 2 1.33 1.30 1.00 .73 BEANS— .

Of total exports of $2,697,000.00'0 in these months, Europe took $1,- 339,000.000. Asian and South Amer- ica’s chief customer, having taken goods valued at $900,000,000. Ger- man purchases increased from $1.91,- 000,00»0 to $237,000,000 in the per— iod ending September 1. Crops Moving Quickly Conditions for marketing the wheat crop are favorable, according to Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing di- rector of the war finanCe corporation, who has submitted a memorandum to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. “Regarding the adequacy of the machinery in the west for handling the marketing of the crops,” said Mr. Meyer, “I am glad to be able to say that the reports are most opti- mistic, and that, in fact, the railroad transportation seems to be adequate- to the task. . “Practically no substantial ear shortages are reported, railroad em- clency in moving the crop being al- most Without precedent. Adequate- financial support is being provided all along the line. “A full supply of ocean tonnage is moving the surplus to export mar— kets with all possible promptness." “It is a matter of much satisfac- tion that this year’s great wheat crop, grown as it was on a 10 per cent smaller acreage than last year’s, is bringing the farmers a billion dollars cash at country point.” WHEAT Last week after going the highest it has ever been during the month of October in peace time the wheat market failed to show any weakness and continued upward, making :- two-cent advance at Detroit on the closing day of last week. The mar- ket is vory’strong and advance: an expected from time to time. The lmofcropslnmampeismgmt that buying must continue active. according to the genera: belief. In order to secure enough food to carry the people through to another har- vest it will be necessary that the European countries purchase large quantities of grain, and present in- dications are that America is about the only country that will have any amount to export. Foreigners have been taking the cash wheat as fast as delivered by the farmers, and at the same time buying heavily for future use and it. is felt that the fill- ing of these contracts Wili’filake it impossible for wheat to decline, ev- en should the foreigners quit buy- ing for a time.

Many of them are more mod to eating bread made from rye than wheat. Farmers are being ad- , vised by market experts to hold Mr rye if it is in good shape. and Will remain that way in their bins until a little later, because the for—- ’ ‘ are going to need it, and they will pay a good price if neces- sary. BEANS ,, Now that farmers are threshing their beans and a few of the beans are finding their way to market the speculators are working the price down", but we doubt very much if many of the farmers are going to be frightened into unloading for fear prices for this year's crop have seen flair high point. Growers are look- ing to the national advertising cam- mgn on Michigan grown beans to are the day. Most of the buyers flavor the campaign also and state m a plan was tried out a few years ago and met with big success but was not followed up through the succeeding years and the stimulous died out. Our readers will remem- ber that the plan this year, which was put into operation October 1st, is to charge the grower 1 cent on each hundred pounds of beans sold. and to this the buyer adds an equal amount and the total goes to the general fund to defray the advertis- ing cost. Growers are approving of the plan. There is a general feeling throughout the state that the yield this year will be considerably under last year and the majority of farm- ers are planning on holding for bet- ta- prices. Threshing so far shows the crop to be of better quality than Week of October 12 heaviest rainfall of the week will occur in Michigan during very first part and again about Thursday. However, for the week as a whole it is not expected that the rainfall will be above the av- erage; to the contrary, there is ex- pected to be considerable sunshine. At very beginning of the week the temperatures will be rising and it will remain more or less moder- ate throughout the greater share of the week in this state. , Another rain storm will affect Michigan about Saturday of this week combined with more or less wind of gale force. This storm will run into next week. - Week of October 19 Rain and wind will be the main characteristics of the weather dur- ing early part of this week in Mich- igan. By Monday or Tuesday the temperature will make a sudden drop to readings very close to freez- ing unless there should be another storm center closely following it. In this case the greatest cold will probably be retarded until after the second storm center, which will gflng it about Wednesday or Thurs- ay. Fair, cold weather will follow for the last days of the week although the temperature will begin warming up about Saturday. The week ends with cloudy, theatening and windy weather. Many Temperature Extremes The balance of' this month will bring numerous storms that will produce many and constant changes in the temperature. High readings for a few days will be followed by low reading: for several days. This alternate changing will continue un- til early part of November. From then. until near close of that month. the average trend. of the tempera- g Jars will be’dqwnward. " ,_ Market experts . pom ‘A'rons A fair demand existed in the De- troit potato _market last' week, al- though there was an over-supply. At Chicago the market seemed weaker, . and trading was only fair. The sup- ply_ exceeds the demand in New York. Reports come into our office that potatoes are a fairly good crop in Michigan this year, and if prices are right the potato grower is going to make some money. KAY The markets for the last week was as a whole quiet. This was due partly to light demand and partly to quantities of low grade offerings. The western markets are in better shape as inquiries in this section have been more noticeable while the east is lifeless with scarcely any change from a week previous. BUTTER Trading in the butter market is fair with supplies more than enough to take care of the demand. Prices show little change. EGGS Eggs are in demand and the mar- ket is firm with supplies, at most points, fair. Fresh eggs are the ones that are selling best but demand for storage eggs is improving daily. WOOL The Commercial Bulletin of Bos— ton, Mass., on Saturday, October 4, had the following to say regarding wool: “Wool has easily maintained its strong position during the past week and, if anything, is against the buy- er, despite the fact that London has declined about 5 per cent from the high point of a week ago. London still is the highest market in the world, however, due to the European demand for spot wool for which a premium has been made. The for- eign primary markets all keep very firm and demand is excellent in Aus- tralia, with good clearances con- stantly. “The strongest feature of the local market is the decided improvement in the demand for good.

Farm- ers are very busy in the bean harvest. Very little wheat seeding has been done as yet but if weather conditions are favorable a large acreage will be put in this week. Corn is well cared and out of frost danger but will not be ripened as the season was unfavorable for ma— turing. Apples are a light crop but pears and grapes are yielding well. Potatoes will yield well and free from blight.— D. H. M. St. Clair—The rain fall the first of the week was very beneficial to all pastures and new seeding.
