The cattle consigned represent the best of the breed gathered from the main Holstein States. A special at- tempt to insure the quality of the entries this year was made by lim— iting the number to half the usual total by setting up high entrance requirements as to proven produc- tion, and by demanding rigid inspec- tion by good judges of the Holstein type. The sixty-one head in the sale Were consigned from eleven states; five entered from California are al- ready here. Michigans quota of eight head was hand-picked by D. D. Aitken of Flint, veteran breeder of Holseins and former president of .the National Association and is con- sidered the best bunch of Holsteins ever offered by Michigan breeders.

Be‘fore,.‘we either com— mend 'or condemn it' ,too’ much for its doings it is fitting and proper for us as citizens of a self-gaverning democracy to pause fer a few mo- ments to analyze briefly a few of the moreimportant laws enacted by our duly elected lawmakers. As law abiding citzens who realize that the safety of our homes and proper~ ty——-yes, and of our very lives is dependent on respect for law and order, we have a. certain duty to familiarize ourselves‘with the pro- visions of recent legislative enact— ments which have alread, . or will soon, become effective. Enact Highway Finance Program The first important legislation considered and enacted at the 1925 session was what was called the highway finance program. In its fin— al form this program took the form of two companion bills—the two cent gas tax and the weight tax. This latter levy took the place of the old auto license which had been based on a combination of weight and horsepower. The ‘new basis result— ed in a more equitable scale of ll« censes and generally considerably reduced the fee to the owners of light or. medium weight cars. The rate on passenger cars was finally set at 55 cents per hundred weight while a levy of from 65 cents to $1.25 was imposed upon commercial vehicles, including trucks, the heav— ier vehicles coming under the high- . er brackets of the weight tax. The weight tax law provides that from its revenue $6,000,000 shall be returned each year to the coun— ties in proportion to the amount collected from each. From the bal- ance the following appropriations are specified: not less than $1,200,- 000 for interest and sinking fund for the state highway bonds; $2,- 000,000 for maintenance of state trunk line, Federal aid and non— trunk line highways; $1,000,000 for building trunk line bridges, in— cluding grade separations; $500,— 000 for non-trunk line highway maintenance and .non-trunk line bridges; and $300,000 for operating expenses of the State Highway De- partment. Any weight tax revenue in excess of these specific appropri- ations would be used- for opening, Widening and improving state trunk line and federal aid, highways. The two cent gas tax law was equally specific as to the use which was to be made‘of the millions of revenue which it is producing. To meet deficiencies in appropriations for the payment of net amounts ow— ing the several counties on state award highways, not less than $1.- 500,000 for the current year and $2,000,000 annually hereafter is set aside until such delinquent awards shall have been paid in full. The law further provides that $3,000.— 000 at least of gas tax revenue shall go for principal and interest pay- ments on the state’s outstanding highway bonds. ~It is further pro— vided that the balance, it any, shall be used for the general construc- tion, improvement and betterment of the public highways of the state. Users of Roads to‘Pay Probably the most significant as- pect of this highway finance pro—1 gram is that by the passage of these two companion bills, the Legisla— ture has definitely 'agknowledged' W V and provided thatin the future the- Estate’s trunk line, "highway system nemes‘theretrom. chiefly " this state. Throuig .ery Michigan farmer. refinanced. by. those who. ob—v «pertinent at a. at ' fit t By STANLEY M. rowan. (Lansing Correspondent of The Business Farmer.) vided whereby visiting tourists driving their cars over Michigan highways will make their proper contribution to construction and maintenance ---cost. Before these two laws were pass- ed the state’s exhausted $50,000,000 highway bond issue and its $6,000,- of delinquent highway rewards owed to the several counties con— stituted a virtual first mortgage on all of the taxable general property of the state. Somebody stood to pay these bills. If the motorist had not been compelled to meet them, the general taxpayer would have ‘been left holding the bag. Many influential individuals and organizations favored a high auto weight tax and no gas tax, but the farmers of the state and their pow- erful organizations and publications presented a united and unwavering front and advanced the cause of the gas tax with such logical and irre- futable arguments that finally the opposition yielded and the gas tax was agreed to and consequent ma— terial reductions were made in the weight tax rates from the scale or- iginally advocated. This compro— mise meant dollars and cents to cv— Undcr its terms they Will pay less, for com— mercial travellers and tourists will through the gas tax pay a consider- ably larger amount of the total amount‘ than would have been the case under a high weight-tax un— supplemented by a gas tax. Atwood, Ming and Kirby Bills But it should not be supposed that these two revenue producing bills were the only, important road laws enacted by the 1925 Legisla- ture. In even a most cursory sur- vey of the subject mention must be made also of three other bills of the HE government’s recent hear— T ings on the proposed federal grades for beans revived the question: “Why do Michigan beans undersell California's product?” About a year and a half ago this newspaper proposed an investiga- tion should be instituted to ascer- tain the answer to this question. It was suggested this work should be undertaken by either the state department of agriculture or the markets department of the Michigan Agricultural College. But as far as is known no action has been taken by either agency. In the meantime, assuming the government reports are correct, Michigan farmers have continued to take about $5,000,000 a year less for their crop. based on statistics compiled by the United States department of agri— culture, Which . show Michi'gan' farmers received $1 a bushel less /for their beans than California growers were paid for their crop on corresponding dates. 'Michigan produces more than 5,000,000 bush— els. Some question exists whether the government figures are safe to use for comparative purposes. It is known, they apply largely to white pea. ‘beans‘fin. Michigan, but it is not known ,whether the California DPICBSC.[are“_ on white beans . or all beans. “This? newspaper raised this issue six months ,' ago, .but the de- as rts. This estimate 18' .to easy m0st outstanding importance. The first of these measures is Senator Atwood’s bill which authorizes the State Highway Commissioner and the State Administrative Board to lay out and establish not "to exceed 500 miles of additional trunk line highways on routes to be determin- ed by them. Represehtative Ming’s bill further increases the control of the state over the, trunk lines by providing that on January 1, 1926 the state will take over the entire charge of their construction and maintenance and will relieve the counties of any responsibility, financial or otherwise in connection therewith. Somewhat the opposite of the Ming bill is Rep— resentative Kirby’s bill which per- «m‘anently repeals the sections of the old law under which the state shar— ed financially in the construction of county roads. ‘ . New Township Road Law Another important highway meas- ure sponsored by Representative Kirby and enacted into law was his bill to allow for the construction, improvement and maintenance of township roads by boards of county road commissioners in certain cases. Sectidn 1 of this act provides as follows: “The board of county road com- missioners of any county that is operating under the county road system, is hereby authorized to take charge of all the highway funds raised in all of the townships of said county and whose township boards consent to the provisions of this act and to expend such funds in the townships where raised in the con— struction, improvement and main— tenance of township roads. Consent given by any township board may be withdrawn by resolution adopted 0 Figures Show Bean Growers Lose $5,000,000 stand investigation if either the col— lege or state decides to act. Many growers are inclined to feel the Michigan bean market is controlled by the canners. A. B. Cook of Owosso, master of the state grange, shares this opinion. At the government’s hearings Mr. Cook said he had been informed the canners buy 60 to 80 per cent of Michigan’s bean crop and he argued that whoever controls 00 per cent of the outlet of any com— modity‘is in a position to domi— mate and control the market on that product. Mr. Cook also stated there are certain practices among Michigan bean jobbers and elevator men which the growers believe will stand correction. He made this statement when he objected to a motion made by W. I. Biles, Sag— inaw bean jobber. which sought the growers’ blanket endorsement of the jobbers’ methods. Beans are grown in only a few states and the industry lends itself investigation. The need for some sort of probe is indi— cated in the following farm prices supplied by the government as of the fifteenth of“ each month. Prlce Per Bushel of Beans. 1924-1925 State Nov. Dec. Jan.

The amount to be raised for high— way purposes in any township decid— ing to come under the provisions of this act would be determined by the electors of the township at the annual township meeting. Support— ers of this bill declared that the board of county road commissioners had engineers and equipment much superior to that which the town- ships could afford and so were in a position to do highway work better and more ecenomically than could the separate townships. Representative Howell successful— ly sponsored a bill which makes it unlawful for any person to display or permit to be displayed on his or her motor vehicle any emblem or insigna of any organization, associ— ation, fraternity, lodge, clubor or- der unless the owner of such motor vehicle be a member of the organi- zation the emblem or insigna of which is so displayed. The law does not apply to the use of such emblems solely for participation in any public parade, or at any public fair, exhibit or carnival. Vchiclcs Must l'lzu‘c Lights One of the lzuvs passed at the 1922 Session which it will be diffi— cult l‘or the average farmer to ob- serve perfectly was Senator Martin’s bill requiring all vehicles travelling 011 any public highway between one hour after sunset and one hour be— fore sunrise lo display a light. In the past vehicles have been required to carry a light only when travelling on trunk line highways and village streets. — The Martin bill also con— siderably stiffens the penalty for failure to provide proper lights, raising the maximum sentence to a line of $25 or 30 days in jail or both. Because of its relation to the pro— tection of our improved highways against the rapid and costly deteri— oration which results from the un—. restricted use of excessively heavy trucks, probably no bill was or greater importancc than Senator Hinkley’s measure which regulates the maximum weight and speed of the larger types of trucks. This bill makes it unlawful to operate any vehicle upon the public highways of this state, the gross weight of which, including load, ex— ceeds fourteen tons. For the pur— poses of this act, trucks, tractors. trailers and semi—trailer are each construed to be separate units. The maximum speed limit pcrinitted for the various sized trucks ranges from 15 to 30 milcs per hour. Any person operating a. vehicle longer than 40 feet would bc forbidden to drivo closer than 1000 feet to any similar vehicle moving" in the same ‘dirclction. For violations of this act the operator’s license may be suspended for a period of not to exceed one year by the Secretary of State upon the recommendation of the trial justice or judge. The above summary gives a brief bird’s-eye view of the more import— ant legislation relative to highway construction, maintcnacc, finance and use which were enacted during. the 1925 session. Because of the vital and intimate relation which improved roads have to the daily life of every farmer and citizen, We have seen fit to give these measures the amount of space and emphasis accorded above. Future issues of THE BUSINESS FARMER will contain summaries of other important types of legislate . V. in the issue of March 28 of THE BUSINESS .FARMER asks, “Why is it ._w_ithv using a peach twig to "locate a vein of water that it will work with some people and at with others?” ' To answer the Question another question must be asked‘and answer— ed. The question isz'Why does the peach twig work? To answer how and why it works for some people w'will lend itself in answering why the peach twig or divining rod will not work for others. The most interesting thing about the divining rod is that it works! Many valuable wells have been locat— , ed by» the useof the rod, but infin- ' itely greateris the number of wells ,that have come into existence with- ‘Out the aid of the rod. The writer had an opportunity a ' few weeks ago to witness the rod in operation. A prominent farmer’s ‘ son obtains a very marked degree of success with it. Also his neighbor ', possesses the occult power, for aban— doning a well after driving it 190 feet, he resorted to the peach twig and located a vein of water 15 feet below the surface and not over ten feet from the deep well. The father is unable to receive any response from the rod. It is interesting to watch the son or the neighbor as they are walking across the field with a peach twig~ held firmly in their hands. As they hear a certain area the twig begins to slowly but surely turn and point toward the ground, when the right place is encountered the twig is l |' j .i- ‘ According to J. A. Dextcr this is the way to hold the twig to locate water. (Mr. Flood's thirteenth article of his series on European travels is devoted to his trip into Denmark.) ' F one is a Dane he can boast that his country stands today as the foremost country of the world in the scientific organization of her agriculture, both in producing and in marketing—and if one is not a Dane he must admit it. ‘ We in the United States, and es- pecially in this particular section ’ ~of.the United States, are apt to be- ers in the world, and yet little Den— mark With it 16,608 square miles-— about one-fifth of the size of Neb— raska or Minnesota has three times as many dairy cows and twice as 'many full—grown farms as there are in Nebraska, and each one of these farms supports at least one nice, plump Danish family. and us— uallyseveral. There is an average of about 35 people per square mile throughout the United States, while Denmark averages 196 people for every Section of land. ' And yet, densely populated. as I this little country is, there are near— ly half as many dairy COWS as there are people—about 45 dairy cows for every 100 persons.

The three letters published he“! ' are answers to our reader’sinquiry. Can you give any more information? . pointing straight downward. Sev- eral trials were made with no vari- ation. No success was obtained by other members of the party. ‘ Two distinct areas could be map- ped out running diagonally but paral- lel across the fields. One area was running towards a neighbor’s well and the other including the farmer’s well that is placed in the kitchen. Since water existed in one vein as is proven by the well in the kitchen it is reasonable to suppose water to exist in the other vein. It was con- clusive evidencethat some relation exists between the water in the ground, the rod, and the operator. But what is it? It wasn’t bec use the operator willfully caused t e twig or rod to turn as no apparent effort was used except to fimly hold it in an upright position. Often the twig would crack and break near the op- erator’s hands in its endeavor to turn. Many trials and checks were made to ascertain the force, though the operator seemed to think that the water in the soil lent magnetic influ- ence upon the twig for no physical sensation could be felt except the twisting. The suggestion was made that the operator should firmly place elbows against his hips and carry the twigs as before. Also, since it was convenient, the operator’s elbows were placed firmly upon a table which was moved toward the well in the kitchen. In both of these trials not the slightest movement of the twig took place. This was repeated many times but without success as long as the elbows were firm against the . body or table. Why should the placing of the el- bows firmly against the hips or on the table have any effect 'on the divin- ing rod? The operator seemed to think that the elbows on the table, shut off the “electricity” thus pre— venting the rod from working. But with the check of having his arms firmly at his sides as he was carry- ing the rod in the field was made, no explanation was forthcoming other than “it won’t_work that way". To establish a correlationthat ex- ists, recall how many acurious and hectic evening that has been spent around an Ouija board. Many ques— tions are answered and futures fore— told when the operators ”have their arms free and at ease ’with their fingers lightly touching the indicator which will go ~to “yes” and “no” or to some letter. Of course some of the answers have come true and we marvel at Ouijas intelligence. Ouija had to have the full free swing of the arms in order that force of the operators muscles, that were directed by the subconscious mind, could be effective in moving the indicator ere the conscious mind is aware. Likewise, the subconscious mind plays the all important part in the divining rod. Give the ideal condi- tions for the subconscious mind to direct the muscles of the arms and the twig will turn ere the conscious amind is aware. To take away the conditions that allows the uncon- scious movement the divining rod is a total failure. It is this psycholog- ical factor that makes it possible for some people to be successful oper- ators of the twig while others can not. To come back to specific trials made. The operator by viewing the neighbor’s wells determined that the water should be at a certain place, or knows it to be present. He pro- ceeds to test it out. He gives his subconscious mind and twig full op- portunity to perform and they do so. While others will not permit the sub- Danish Farmers Show World True Meaning of By FRANCIS A. FLOOD cent, making an actual average of 440 pounds of butter per year from each Danish cow. - But with all this staggering dairy production from so small a country, Denmark’s chief claim to distinction in the field of dairying and other forms of agriculture lies in the fact that the Danish farmers face the markets of the world as one uni— fied body of sellers instead of 200,— 000 individual farmers competing with each other in price rather than in production. The Danish farmer produces efficiently on his own farm, as an individual, but he meets the demands of the markets in a solid mass organization, business part— »ners with his 200,000 fellow—farm— crs, careful salesmen of their wares. The agricultural societies of Den- mark. promoting the technical. sci— entific, and educational interests of agriculture, enroll approximately 90 per cent of the Danish farmers—— that’s for‘efliciency in production, The cooperative associations, deal- ing more particularly with the busi— ness of marketing their products, buying their supplies and insuring their credit, enroll fully as many—— that’s for efficiency in taking care of what they’ve produced. than 85 per cent of the farmers of Denmark are members of butter and bacon cooperative associations, selling to their more industrial but less agricultural neighbors, England and Germany.

WRIGHT NEEDS MORE RAY I will need more, hay than I have to harvest this season and would like to have you suggest a substi- tute crop. Soil is sandy loam, fair. drainage. Have about seven acres corn stubble and about same of beet ground. Will appreciate your suggestion and pointers on growing the crop you advise. Will it be best to plow the corn stubble?—L. E. B., Swartz Creek, Michigan. ,_ NDER the conditions mentioned, would recommend sowing half the land to soybeans and half to a mixture of oats and peas. The oat and pea mixture should be sown as early in the spring as pos~ sible using 1 bushel of oats and 1 bushel of peas and sowing the mix— ture at the rate of 21A bushels per acre. Soy beans should be sewn the latter part of May and may be sown in 28 inch rows or drilled in solid. If sown in 28 inch rows, 35 pounds of seed per acre is sufficient but if drilled in solid, 90 pounds of seed per acre would be required. The corn stubble should be plow- ed. The oat and pea mixture will be ready to make into hay during mid summer and the soy beans will be ready to harvest during early September. ' Soy bean hay has much the same feeding value as alfalfa and clover hay.

Among these writers are men who have been more or less a success in some industrial or business enter- prise and of course‘they know what the farmer should do. Some of these men tell is an age of specialization. L. “I. MEEKS us this They too, for such a belief. Among other things, they argue that if one makes a spe— cialty of a certain line of endeavor no matter What it may be, their best thought and concerted effort will be given to that business. They contend specialization allows one to lower overhead expense by adopting production methods which one could not have if the business was more or less of a side line of generality. They say a farmer should have some special crop, and put his best effort into its production on a profit making ~basis by having all the mo— dern machinery and labor-saving devices he can procure. Soon after reading some article setting forth the above facts, along comes another writer with substan— tially the same summary. His ar~ ticle will explain how, if a farmer branches out in too many lines of production, he will be handicapped by too large an outlay for machin— ery, and his overhead expense will be too great. He will tell the i News‘s ’ Edited by L. W.

True, all farmers don’t work sixteen hour days. Maybe they don't. And half, the city laborers in factories, oiiices, etc., work only seven hours a day and yet demand a wage high enough for those seven hours so they can live and enjoy many . things a tarmer'neVer can hope for. 4 farmer there is only one sure way- of success in any line, and that is, a great volume of production, prov- ing that a farmer should have some large production in one line, in- stead of small production in many lines. Soon after the farmer has read a few articles with the above “facts” strongly set forth, along comes some farm paper containing an art ticle by some other noted writer. He sets forth the argument that farmers ~ should diversify their crops; should not tie to one special crop, etc., and shows where, if a farmer makes a. specialty of one crop, and that crop fails, the loss is too severe. \ Just lately I read an article writ— ten by one of,the greatest officials of a great steel company. He found fault with the farmers who special~ ized on some one crop, because it did not keep him busy every day in the year. He took as an illus— tration the wheat grower of the westL—said only half the farmers’ year’s work could be spent in wheat production. Lets see. It a farmer If the farmers would band to- gether and not work ,more than seven or eight hours a day. I am thinking our city friends would sit up and take notice quite suddenly. But, really, why should not the wheat farmer, for his six months of sixteen-hour days be entitled to the same consideration and remun— eration as the steel worker with his twelve months of eight hour days? Is this country going. to have two codes of living, one {or the men who work in the city and one for the men who work in the country? If this man of the steel industry would have explained in his article Why a farmer now pays as much for one plow point as he once did for three; pays now as much for a jointer point as he did pay for a plow point; if he will explain why when we bought three points for a dollar, our old points and other iron was eagerly sought and bought by junk dealers at twenty to twenty— five cents a hundred pounds; and why now, with the great scarcity of iron there is no sale for our old iron, and junk dealers say it is not worth drawing to town; it he will explain some things like this, it might help us to understand a few things that now look quite con— founding. ‘ - Not long ago, while attending a state meeting of potato growers who were in convention at the same time and in part of the same build- ing with the State Implement Deal— ers’ Association I was privileged to make the acquaintance of the presi— dent of one of Michigan’s leading implement factories. Not knowing I was a farmer, he had something to say about the implement busi— ness, and much to say about the farmer. He said that all other lines of industry were soon reorganized and adjusted, after the world war, -to meet the new conditions which the war had caused. Said the farm~ er had been very slow to readjust his business, since the war, and get to going on a readjusted basis. He said farming was the first industry to readjust itself and get to going, after the Civil War and all previous wars. Said he‘was at a loss to understand the present condition of thetarmers. conversation began to wane, I in— formed him I was a farmer and that I regretted I couldn’t see con— ditions just as he did and that if he would put himself in a farmer's place for a year or two, he would more clearly understand the stag- nation of the farmers’ adjustment to new conditions.‘ ‘ u Put a spring-bottom can full of good machine oil on every wheeled implement that has a place to carry one. » WHERE OUR READERS LIV Haven't you a picture of fog; home or farm build: Sh w the other members area all right i! the dmih show up w 3m P W: large (and whm E. e .Tell.

Beans are quoted today at $5.16. If » we took our beans to the eleva- tor today, they would tell us we would be paid on the $4.60 per cwt. basis but We would get only $4.22 cwt. That would make $2.53 a per bushel. It cost us 20 cents a bushel to have thém’ thrashed besides bearding the threshers and buying the coal, that leaves as $2.33. Now what margin of profit are we allow— ed when the work 01'50 acres of land is deducted from that? There were so many wasted in threshing and'harvesting that we averaged 10 bushels to the acre and we could not help it. We paid one-third share for rent of the land; so that was $15.64: At a dollar per acre for seed would leave $14.64. Do we make 87 cents per cwt. profit when the plowing dragging,.cultivating six times, pull- ing, hauling, bagging and taking to market are deducted? And then when we get there we are told we have to pay for the new sacks to ship them in, the cost of picking (when they do not pick anything) the freight down to the city and a “margin of profit” for the handler. Why can we not figure a small profit before we sell? Why have men in the cities the right to say what the price of beans shall be? Why can't the farmer say “I have got to have 50 cents a cwt. profit before I sell”? But we have to take just what price someone else says. Is it right?

(Continued from May 9th issue.) {LAN crossed to the library and seated A himself in the chair Where his father had been accustomed to-sit. Wassa- quam brought him the single small cup of cofiee, lit the spirit lamp on the smoking stand and moved that over; then he went away. When he had finished his coffee. Alan went into the smaller connecting room and recommenced his examination of the drawers under the bookshelves. He could hear the Indian moving about his tasks, and twice Wassaquam Came to the door of the room and looked in on him; but he did not offer to say anything, and Alan did not speak to him. At ten o’clock, Alan stopped his search and went back to the chair in the library. He dozed; for he awoke with a. start and a. feeling that some one had been bending over him, and gazed up into Wassaquam'a face. The Indian had been scrutinizing him with intent, anxious inquiry. He moved away, 'but Alan called him back. “When Mr. Corvet disappeared, Judah. you went to look for him up at Manis- tique, where he was born—at least Mr. Sherrill said that was where you went. Why did you think you might find him there?” Alan asked. “In the end, I think, a man maybe goes back to the place where he began. That’s all, Alan.” ' - “In the end! What do you mean by that? What do you think has become of Mr. Corvet?" “I think now—Ben’s dead." “What makes you think that?” “Nothing makes me think; I think it myself.” ' “I see. You mean you have no reason more than others for thinking~ it; but that is what you believe.” “Yes.” Wassaquam went away, and Alan heard him on the back stairs, as- cending to his room. When Alan went up to his own room, after making the rounds to see that the house was looked, a droning chant came to him from the third floor. He paused in the hall and listened, then went on up to the floor above. A flickering light came to him through the half-open door of a. room at the front of the house; he went a little way toward it and looked in. Two thick candles were burning before a. crucifix, below which the Indian knelt, prayer book in hand and rocking to and fro as he droned his supplications. A word or two came to Alan, but with~ out them Wassaquam’s occupation was plain; he was praying for the repose of the dead—the Catholic chant taught to him, as it had been taught undoubtedly to his fathers, 'by the French Jesuits of the lakes. The intoned chant for Corvet’s soul, by the man who had heard the Drum, followed and still came to Alan, as he returned to the second floor. He had not been able to determine, dur- ing the evening, Wassaquam‘s attitude toward him. Having no one else to trust, Alan had been obliged to put a certain amount of trust in the Indian; so as he had explained to Wassaquam that morn- ing that the desk and the drawers in the little room off Corve't’s had been forced, and had warned him to see that no one, who had not proper business there, enter the house. Wassaquam had appeared to accept this order; but now Wassaquam had implied that it was not because of Alan’s order that he had refused report- ers admission to the house. The develop- ments of the day had tremendously al- tered things in 'one respect; for Alan, the night before, had not thought of the in- truder into the house as one who could claim an ordinary right of entrance there; but now he knew him to be the one ,who —except for Shcrrill—might most natur- ally come to the house; one, too, for whom Wassaquam appeared to grant a certain right of direction of affairs there. So. at this thought, Alan moved angrily; the house was his—Alan’s. He had noted particularly, when «Sherrill had showed him the list of properties whose transfer to him Corvet had left at Sherrill's direc- tion, that the house was not among them; and he had understood that this was be- comes "Corvet had left Sherrill no discre- tion as to the house. Corvet’s direct, unconditional gift of the house by deed to Alan had been one of Sherrill’s reasons for believing that if Corvet had left any- thing whlch could explain his disappear- ance, it would be found in the house. Unless Spearman had visited the house during the day and had obtained what he had been searching for the night before— and Alan believed he had not done that— it was still in the house. Alan’s hands clenched; he would not give Spear'man such a chance as that again, and he him-~ self would continue his search of 'the house—exhaustively, room by room, art- icle of furniture by article of furniture. Alan started and went quickly to open the door of his room, as he-heard voices now somewhere within the house. One . of the, voices he recognized as Wassa- .‘quam’s; the other indistinct, thick. ac— cusing—was, unknown to him; it certainly was mots-.Spearman's. He had' not heard Wassaqua'm go down-stairs, and he had not heard... the gdoonbell. ,so he ran “first to. the third, variability; .. > the pgr;__but the where he. consists: Edwin Balines- and found Wassaquam standing in the: front hall, alone. , ."Who was here- Judah?", Alan de— manded. r . ‘r ‘ q “A man," we‘lndian. answered stolidly. "He was drunk; Input him out.” “What did he come here for?" ’ “He came to see Ben. I put him out; ’1 he is gone, Alan.” Alan flung open the front door and looked out, but he saw no one. _ “What did he want of Mr. Corvet. Judah?" “I do not know. I told him Ben was not here; he was angry, but he went away.” _ “Has he ever come here before?" “Yes; he comes twice." " “He‘has been here twice?” “More than that; every year he comes twice, Alan. Once he came oftener." “How long has he been doing that?" “Since I can remember." - - “Is he a friend of Mr. Corvet?" “No friend—no!” “But Mr. Corvet saw him when he x came here?” - "Always, Alan." “And you don’t know at all what he came about?’-’ “How should I know? No; I do, not.” Alan got his coat and hat. The sudden disappearance of the man might mean only that he had hurried away, but it might mean too that he was still lurking ' near the house. Alan had decided to make the circuit of the house to determine that. ‘But as he ca/me out on to the porch, a. figure more than a block away to the south strode with uncertain step out into the light of a. street lamp, halted and faced about, and shook his fist back at the house. Alan dragged the Indian out on to the porch. “Is that the man, Judah ?” he demanded. “Yes, Alan." Alan ran down the steps and at full speed after the man. The other had turned west at the corner where Alan had seen him; but even though Alan slipped as he tried to run upon the snowy walks, he must be gaining fast upon him. 'He saw him again, when he had reached the corner where the man had turned, travel- ing westward with that quick uncertain step toward Clark Street; at that comer the man turned south. But when Alan reached the corner, he was nowhere in sight. To the south, Clark Street reached away, garish with electric signs and with a half dozen saloons .,to every bleek. That the man was drunk made it prob- aable he had turned into one. of these places. Alan went into every one of them for fully a half mile and looked about, but he found no one even resembling the man he had been following. He retraced his steps for several blocks, still looking; then he gave it up and returned eastward toward the Drive. The side street leading to the Drive was less well lighted; dark entry ways and alleys opened on it; but the night was clear. The stars, with the shining sword of Orion almost overhead, gleamed with midwinter brightness, and to the west the crescent of the moon was hang- ing and throwing faint shadows over the snow. Alan could see at the end of the street, beyond the yellow glow of the distant boulevard lights, the smooth, chill surface of the lake. A white light rode above it; now, below the white light, he saw a red speck—the masthead and port lanterns of a steamer northward bound. Farther out a second white glow appear- ed from behind the obscuration of the buildings and below it a green speck—,— a starboard light. The information he had gained that day enabled him to recog- nize in these lights two steamers passing one another at the harbor mouth. “Red to red,” Alan murmured to him- self. “Green to green—Red to red. per- fect saftey, go ahead !” be repeated. It brought him, with marvelous vivid- ness, back to Constance Sherrill. Events since he had talked with her that morning had put them far apart once more; but in another way, they were being drawn closer together. For he knew that She was caught as well as he in the mesh of consequences _of acts not their own. Benjamin Corvet, in the anguish of the last'hours before fear of those conse- quences had driven him away, had given her a warning against Spearman so wild ,that it defeated itself; for Alan merely to repeat that warning, with no more than he yet knew, would be equally futile. But into the contest between Spearman and himself—that contest, he was beginning to feel, which must threaten distruction either to Spearmari or to him~she had entered. Her happi- ness, her future, were at stake; her fate, he was certain now, depended upon dis- covery of those events tied tight in the mystery of Alan’s own identity which Spearman knew, and the threat of which at moments appalled him. Alan winced . as there came before him in the darkness lot the street the vision of Constance in ‘ Spearman’a' e. , had seen matte «5* ms, and of the kiss, that}? ,- y, r" _TEXT2 “They would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. And thou ; Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? Thou shalt go down unto 'H’ades; for'if the .mighty works had been in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day." ‘ Matt. 11 :21,23. F course, these words were lun- expected, Pastor Brown has ’ been a greatly loved man in your community for these years. You have known his ministry to be, not condemning and rebuking, but comforting always. “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden,” and similar texts were al- ways on his lips. You- have gone to his church to be soothed in theat- mosphere of prayer and worship. Ah, yes, just so. And you go again. But this morning, the wise pastor’s patience has its limit.

It is an insult for you to make us out worse than those ancient and loathesome cities of «Sodom and Gomorrah.” “0,” says Jesus, “those cities did not have me to feed their hungry and heal their sick. If the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained un- til this day. And by the same fair reasoning it may be said. that if the mighty works of Christian tri— umph and progress had been done in Capernaum, which have been done in many an American com- munity, that city would have re- pented in “sackcloth and ashes.” Why don’t we? Capernaum was not antagonistic and violently had. 'She 'just “repented not.” She was apathetic and indifierent. She did nothing. But that was enough. Do- ing nothing is an impregnable bar- rier over which the blessings of Christ cannot climb. Neglect food and die.

We stand in a full blaze of light. We have seen un- rolled sixty generations of Christian evidences. Capernaum shalt be brought down to Hades. What about our neutrality? We can understand, now, the wherefore of the severe rebuke of Christ. The Capernaumite did not consider. “The ox knoweth its owner and the ass its master’s crib, but my people do not consider.” Such is the arraignment of the pro— phet. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart.”. rWhy not? Isn’t his love real? Have you thought, about it? “Casting all your anxiety upon him for he car— eth for you.’ Have you ever con- sidered the wonder of God’s care for you among millions of others? What thoughtless creatures we are!

If one goes unshriven to the grave, it is not because he has not had ade- quate light. Let us be fair with the Truth. Judgment is according to the scope and nature of our oppor- tunity. A whooper-up evangelist said recently that every young and' innocent girl, who had not openly mnfessed Christ, would have to spend hell with the vilest of men. What a reckless and merciless preacher! And what unf‘orgiveable ignorance! And again Jesus says, “He Who knew his Lord’s will, and made not ready, shall be beaten with many stripes; but he that knew not shall be beaten with few stripes.” The logic of this teaching is, that judgment is to be measured according to the opportunity wast- (Continued on Page 17) ’ Now we- are in the community of ‘ Capernaum; Jesus'own city.

There are new laws and more new laws-«over 300 of them—and many are of great importance to the farmers of Michi— gan. The reader friends of Stanley M. Powell, our Lansing correspondent, will be pleased to know that he is preparing a series of articles explaining these laws and the first one appears in this issue. You can follow this series with confidence because Mr. Powell’s hobby is legis- lation and he has studied these bills carefully. If there is anything you don’t understand about these laws send in your questions. CONCRETE ROADS COST LESS IGURES on the cost of maintaining trunk F line roads in Michigan, recently released by the State Highway Department, can he studied with interest. Last year there were 6,606 miles of trunk line roads maintained in the state at an average cost of $503.18 per mile, or a total cost of $3,- 324,105.87. The costs of the different types of road per mile are graVel, $522.71; cement con- crete, 555.53; earth, $221.85; water bound mac- adam, 657.83; bituminous macadam, $726.09; asphalt concrete, $610.94; and stamp sand, 423.44. This cost covered all work done. The most interesting figures, however, are those showing the cost per vehicle mile. Gravel roads were the most expensive in that case, re- quiring 4.1 mills. Stamp sand came next on the list requiring 3.8 mills. Earth required 3.6 mills; water macadam, 3.1; bituminous maca- dam, 2.0 mills; cement concrete, 1.1 mills; and asphalt concrete was last with 0.9 mill. These figures would indicate that concrete roads are the most economical in the long run. costing about the same as gravel to maintain and accomodating four times as much travel. BEFORE YOU INVEST — INVESTIGATE SHORT time ago we were riding with the A county agricultural agent through one of the rich fruit producing counties of south- western Michigan. The road was lined with splendid homesteads and unquestionable evi- dences of prosperity and progress. Imagine our surprise and regret to be informed by the county agent that there was hardly a one of these farm- ers whose fine homes We were passing who had not sunk a few thousand dollars in some wild— cat investment scheme. piece of blue sky had laid heavy toll on the re- turns from an abundant crop of grapes or other fruit. ~ Appreciating from years of careful observa- tion what these unfortunate investments mean to a farm home and a rural community, we re— newed our resolve to continue to wage relentless warfare on every type of fraudulent investment scheme which menaces the product of a farmer's industry, diligence, foresight and skill. We Firms]: to this purpose. We shall continue to seek out and expose these attempts to inveigie our readers out of their. honestly earned dollars.

Almost one—third of his salary, in the city must go for rent of a small apartment. The city advisers concluded that he—but what would you say? MOTOR COMPARISONS N comparing prices it has become customary to I use those of 1913, the last year when they were not affected by war, as a basis. The National Automombile Chamber of Commerce makes some interesting comparisons in a book— let just issued, the general tenor of which is to show that we don’t want to go back to the good old times before the war so far as motor vehicles are concerned. The average automobile in 1924 cost $825, or 29 per cent below the average cost in 1913. Then the average car cost 1,482 bush- els of wheat, 2,521 bushels of corn, 6,214 pounds of wool, 21,400 pounds of beef cattle and 17,074 pound of hogs. On January 15 of this year an average automobile cost 506 bushels of wheat, 732 bushels of corn, 1,910 pounds of wool, 14,565 pounds of beef cattleand 8,800 pounds of hogs. That is a right good way to figure on. automobiles or anything else, includ— ing taxes. How do they cbmpare in bushels" or pounds with 1913? MEET A. BRAVE MAN HERE was one Michigan lawmaker who at- tended the last session of legislature and did not introduce one single bill. That-is hard to believe but, nevertheless, is true. Three cheers for Jesse E. Fuller, of Gratiot county, undoubtedly the first solon in the history of Michigan to win such an honor. He should re- ceive a medal. “I believe there already is too much legisla— tion," Mr. Fuller told reporters when asked why he had not introduced any bills. We agree with Mr. Fuller. There are many petty laws that have taken up valuable time of both the House and the Senate that have never been used and never will be.

WHAT IS IT? we NEW YORK millionaire has a stock farm. In his income'tax return for 1919 he re- ' ported a loss of $24.97 5 in the Operation of the farm. The Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue refused to allow the loss and now the wealthy stock farmer has taken an appeal from that decision. It would be interesting to know on what grounds this loss in a livestock enter- prisevvas disallowed. Did the Commissioner re— gard the millionaire’s farm enterprise as a game of chance, a luxury or What? Evidently it was not regarded as a business enterprise. What is 'a rich man’s stock farm anyhow? A MERE QUESTION NE of the advocates of a government-bossed marketing scheme says: “For'the tenant farmer there is little hope or opportunity of becoming a home owner under existing mar— keting conditions. Land prices have gone beyond his reach.” It might be pertinent to ask why land prices are beyond reach if the present mar- keting system is ruining farmers and destroying agriculture as he asserts. The present market- ing system is not perfect, in agriculture or in other industries, but it would be wiser to con- sider improving it rather than destroying it or legislating into existence an untried substitute for it. ’ A RESERVE FUND :NE problem which cooperative organizations may study is the accumulation of a re- serve fund for emergencies. In theory such an organization has no need of a reserve fund, for all its members are to share alike its good and ill fortune. Morover its membership is con- stantly changing, and all members are entitled to all the earnings at the time'they are contribut- ing to them. Yet a reserve is a mighty handy thing in any business enterprise, in fact is ofteh the salvation of it. continued success Members who desire the ‘ of their organization will‘ waive their right to a complete distribution, so ’ that a reserve may be built up if it has not been provided for in the original plan. No large re— serve is needed by a cooperative body, but none at all may be a great inconvenience sometimes. A WINTERN NEIGHBOR JOINS U8 HE other day the circulation department handed us a letter from a farmer living in Kansas. He wrote “I received a sample copy of THE BUSINESS FARMER and I was so pleased with it you will find enclosed herewith the price of a year’s subscription.

I am subscribing for’the paper because I wish to know what is happening out- side of my own state and your magazine makes interesting reading for me.” We are glad to have this western farmer say that he likes us well enough to join our large family and we welcome readers from other states but we would advise them right now. that if they 5 do not care much about Michigan and the busi- ness farmers of this stat; they are wasting their money to subscribe because THE BUSINESS Emma is owned and edited by Michigan folks for Mich- igan farm folks. living. as far as we are concerned, are the farm folus of Michigan. > ’ THE WORLD IS ALL RIGHT Editorially the- only people ' 0U are all wrong if you think our young ‘ girls, who call. themselves flappers, are on. the road to the “hot place” and the world is going to the “dogs”.

The sales plan of the loom is very simi- lar to the work-at-home scheme which sells knitting machines. The advertising matter represents that women can earn as high as $2,250 per year weaving rugs—the Lan- sing Loom Works agreeing to buy all rugs woven on the loom. If any large numben of women bought these looms and were able to oper- ate them as easily and rapidly as 18 represented to them in the circulars we fear the rug market would soon be glutted. We are reliably inform— ed the loom or rug weaver is a new device but similar to other looms on the market selling for about $10 each. The Lansing Loom Works asks $.72 to $80 for the loom and the difference of these amounts rep- resents the sucker bait injected into the proposition in connection with the workeat-home scheme. It is es- timated by rug weavers that a wo— man working ten hours a day would not be able to make more than five rugs for which the Lansing Loom Works agree to pay 250 each. Out of the. proceeds the worker has to pay postage and the company re- serves the privilege of rejecting any rugs that do not come up to its standard of qualification. The prop- osition is the same knitting ma— chine fraud all over again with one of the same promoters at the helm. This class of advertising must now look to the mail order papers to give publicity to these schemes. A number of the better class of pub- lications have discarded the knit- ting machine advertising and this loom scheme is the same sort of an alluring fraud to get up to $80 from poor women for a. loom worth only a fraction of this amount as com- pared with other looms in the trade." We are anxiously waiting to hear it any of our subscribers who have had any experience with the com.- pany. “$10 FOR AN OIL. \VELL IN MONTANA” “It’s enough if pooled and prop- erly applied on the plan outlined be— low. “The Kelvin-Sunburst Oil Field of Montana has gone through the pioneer stage sufficient to enable us to select the productive from the nonproductive sections. “The wells in this field range in magnitude of production from a few barrels to 12,000 barrels initial g'usher per day. “It takes from 25 to 30 days to sink to the oil sands.

We are willing to grant that the promoter may be honest and sincerely believesin his propos— ition, but just because this piece of property is surrounded by produc~ tive oil wells is no indication that he will discover a gusher.

We have never gam- bled in this way and never will be- cause the chances are that the other fellows know more about the game than we do, and money does- n’t grow on trees.

If so, you are behind the times. Or do you think first about servmg him the foods his body needs? If so, you are modern and up to date. Below are some bills of fare.for children suggested by the United States Department of Agriculture. These bills of fare contain all the things needed for their develop- ment. Why? _ Well, first there is at least a pint of milk in each day’s ration. Many children want more and can taken without leaving out other essential foods. Under these circumstances ' they ought to have more. Second, there is an egg in the .first bill of fare and a little meat or fish in the others. This is for iron which milk lacks. Third, there .is fruit in two meals out of three. This is a good rule to keep in mind all the time. Fresh fruit is best—juice or pulp for very young children. If fresh fruit can not be obtained, dried fruit may be used at one meal and either a little tomato juice or a raw green vegetable such as lettuce 1n the other. These foods are the watch dogs of the diet. They help to keep off disease. Fourth, every meal in these ra- tions provides for “roughage”. in some meals it is supplied by po— tatoes. In others it is supplied by whole-grain cereal breakfast foods of whole-wheat bread. This means that the food will have enough bulk to prevent constipation. Fifth, at one meal there is a veg- etable other than potatoes. . Sixth, every meal contains a little butter or cream. Something very 'much needed by children is in but- ter fat and it is well to give them a little of it besides that which they get in the milk. Make a list of the foods your child eats and see if all six of these different knids of foods are includ— ed each day: Milk, eggs, vegetables, fruit, whole—grain cereals, and but- ter or cream. For Child of Two Breakfast: Juice of '1/2 orange; whole— grain cereal mush; milk 2/3 cup, or more if wanted; toast; butter, Dinner: Coddled egg; baked potato; spinach;- bread; butter; pulp of cooked prunes; cookie. I Supper: Milk, 1-1/3 cups, or more if wanted; whole—wheat bread; butter. For Child of Five apple; whole-grain cereal mush; milk, 1/2 pint, or more if wanted; bread; butter. Dinner: Boiled potato; creamed cod- Ar’“fish; string beans; bread; butter; cup custard; cookie. Supper: Milk, 1/2 pint, or more if .‘wanted; whole wheat bread; date mar- malade. » » .

WHOLE GRAIN \‘ CEREALS GOOD FOR CHILDREN UTRITION specialists at South Dakota State College urge, among other necessary foods, the frequent use of whole—grain cereals in the diet, especially in families where there are growing A New Way To Use N order to have good light and I a pleasant view from a window while working at her kitchen cabinet, a farm woman living in Chesterfield County, Virginia, had the top part removed and fastened to the wall at the right side of one of the kitchen windows. The lOWer half, containing bins and drawers, was set directly in front of the win— dow and its top surface was extend— ed on each side with a shelf mak- ing a counter reaching two corners of the room. These extension piec— es were carefully‘ fitted into the availbale space and joined to the top of the cabinet. The entire counter was then covered with lin-‘ oleum matching that on the floor, and varnished to resist water, heat .1 children who need the vitamins and mineral substances. For this reason such foods as whole-wheat breads,. (not hot breads) or breakfast foods, brown rice, corn meal made from the en- tire grain, and oatmeal, should ap- ‘pear on the table at frequent inter— vals The whole-grain cereals can be prepared in a variety of ways. A suggested way of making whole wheat very palatable is to cook it in the steam pressure cooker. This makes an excellent breakfast cereal rich in flavor and food value. To prepare it, sort theflg'fa'ffi', wash it thor-oughlynthen cover with about two and one—half times its volume of water, add salt, and cook under 15 to 20 pounds pressure for a half hour or longer if needed to make the grains soft. A generous dish of these thoroughly cooked whole wheat berries with milk or cream, and a serving of fruit, makes an ideal breakfast, lunch or supper. The germ and the outer layers of the wheat grain are rich in vitamins and minerals, while the rest is such an excellent source of energy for the body. that wherever possible A Kitchen Cabinet and grease. A little shelf was put in under the counter on the left hand side of the cabinet and a hole made in the counter just above it. When the garbage pail was set on this little shelf it was easy to dis- pose of vegetable parings or other food refuse without leaving the place where one was working. A high kitchen stool was provided, the wood-box was fitted with casters, and all small utensils that would hang up were put on hooks on the left side of the window. These im- provements were made in connec- tion with a kitchen contest carried on in the county under the direction of the extension agents of the Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute and the U. S.

The common oil is better than the refined, and usually two thorough sprayings will do the work. Boiling water is deadly to ants, and so is carbon disulphide injected into the nest with- a large syringe. SOme claim an emulsion of petroleum and water (oil, 1 part; water, 3 parts) poured on, the earth is an effective remedy when plentifully used (say from 1 ounce to 3 ounces to the square yard. A friend of mine declares she prefers to use a weak solution of corrosive sublimate, because it not anly kills the ants eventually, but it seems to craze them before death, so that ants of the same nest, after coming in contact with the poison, will attack each other with the greatest ferocity. If one remedy is not successful in your case try another.-—'Mrs. A. T.‘ ’ ‘ Game for-the Kiddies.—-’-Here is a game our children enjoy that anyone can make in a few minutes. Take a small board, about 12 inches square, drive a small nail in each corner and one in the center. Then paint a number near: each nail. .It does not matter what the ‘numbersare just so the total of' the five; nails make 100. Now lean the board against the wall and stand some 8 or 10 feet-away and toss 12 can rubbers, 'one at a time, at the nails, ringing as many as possible. Each rubber over a nail counts the pitcher the number painted beside that nail. After pitching the 12 a count should be taken and the total remembered so that when the next player pitches a compari-. son can be made to decide the winner, the one getting the most points being the champion—Mrs. D., Isabella County. *1 —if you are well bred! Feminine Prerogatives.‘——1. It is the girl's—never the man’s—prerogative to say when she and the man who has brought her shall leave a dance. He must wait until she gives the signal. ' 2. It is a girl’s prerogative—whether a man’s feet ache and he is breathless or not—to refuse'to stop dancing until the dance has come to an end. 3. It is a girl’s prerogative to sit out a. dance rather than dance it, if she so chooses. ' ' 4. It is a girl’s prerogative not'to hunt up her hostess and say farwell at a large formal dance. At a small affair, when she is near the hosteSS or passing her and opportunity offers, it is rude not to say a word of farewell and appreciation. 5. It is a girl‘s prerogative to refuse a. dance to one man but (unless the dance has been reserved by previous arrange- ment) she cannot dance the same dance with another man. are killing the grass on my lawn. Would . l 6. A girl has a right to look forward A to some courteous expression of the pleas- ure the fox-trot her partner has just danced with her has given him. His silence, however, does 'not necessarily imo ply discourtesy. Her partner may be bashful or tongue-tied. The girl may with perfect propriety .make some tenta- tive remark showing her own judgment of the dance. 7. While a girl has taken the privilege of refusing to dance with'a man, she must always motive that refusal courteously: “Thanks, but I think I’d better sit out this one,” or “My card is filled—I’m so sorry,” or “Mr. VVallcott has already put down his name for this dance. I’m so sorry,” should cover most cases. 8. Every girl is entitled to an apology from a partner who arrives to claim a dance after the music has begun. ‘ 9. It is a girl’s prerogative to compel. a man to give up his whole evening at- a dance to her—but she is making'a very unwise use of her prerogative by exer- cising it. The unwilling captive will warn. his male companions of what is-in Store for them. ‘ 7 The Runner’s Bible : Keep and seek for all of the command- ments of the Lord, your God. 1 Chron. 28:8. . ' .

The Peep-Show Elam—By Padraic CO- lum, author of “The Children’s Homer”, “The Island of the Mighty", “The Chil- dren Who Followed the Piper”, etc. Long before there was a moving picture in any town in Ireland, long before there was a. magic lantern, or a. wax works even, here and there a man went along the roads carrying a box upon his back that was a Peep-show. The children handed over a penny fr the privilege of looking through the peep—hole and seeing the wonders that were shown in it. In this book there is a Peep-show Man. He was a man who had travelled all the roads of Ireland and who knew many remarkable things. To one boy he told stories that were as wonder— ful as the scenes in his box, and he told them in a language so remarkable, that the boy who heard them remembered' them for many a day. So here you have the stories of The Princess Swallow-heart. of The Twelve Silly Sisters that the Pooka carried away with him, of the White Blackbird. You have a story for Mid- Summer Day, a story for Halloween, a story for Easter. They are very magical stories. such as only a far-traveled Peep— show Man could tell you.

The only way left to get a picture of myself is for our young artists to each draw amicture of Uncle Ned as they see him in their minds, then I can print the best one. To the one sending in the best drawing of what he or she thinks Uncle Ned looks like I will send a special prize as well as one of our buttons and the winners of second, third, fourth and fifth awards will each receive a button that makes them a member of our club. The contest closes Saturday, June 7th, and any young artist send- ing in a drawing that arrives later than that date will be “out of luck” so be sure to mail yours early. Make the drawing with black ink on white paper and it can be serious or funny. The first one to send in their drawing will receive a button whether the drawing is a prize win— ner or not.

He liked to go to school because he loved his teacher. He was very smart. Loraine lived in a. beautiful country. He loved it alL the year. In the spring he would like to go fishing.

One day when he went to school his teacher asked him “Loraine, would you tell a lie for one dime?" . “No ma‘nm,” answered Loraine. “Would you tell a lie for fifty cents" asked his teacher. “NO ma’am,” Loraine replied. "‘Would you tell a lie for one thousand dollars?” said the teacher. ’ Loraine hesitated. One thousand dol- lars was a great sum. He thought, he could buy many things with 0,110 thou— sand dollars. Then he said “No ma’am." “And why not?” inquired the teacher. “Because,” said Loraine “‘thn the one thousand dollars was gone the lie would still be there.” ‘ —By Odeal Lavasseur, Auburn, Mich. ~«Odeal says that she composed the above story in bed one night after one of hr-r playmates'had told a lie in school that day.

Twenty-six cows were bought during the year, 12 grades and 14 purebreds. Four bulls were bought and 3 were sold. All the members have purebred bulls now. . The value of ‘mlik and fat that was sold during the past year by the membership was $43,997.56 and the cost of feed was 318.157.20, leaving a net profit of $25,840.36 or an average of $1036.10 per farm. The total number of cows averaged $111.43 per cow above their feed cost. .The high herd averaged 12,- 099 pounds of milk and 379.8 pounds of fat with 18 cows in the herd.

But we are not to forget the emphasis of our text, that right- eous judgment is inevitable. The Judases are to know a hell of re— morSe, and the one, also, who wraps up his talent in a napkin and does nothing is to hear, “Woe unto you." But our chapter does not end in darkness. All around is'the white light of mercy. Jesus’ last words are “Come unto me.” Find your life in repentance. “Today, if thou shalt hear his voice, harden not your heart.” DANISH FARMERS SHOW “'ORLD MEANING OF COOPERATION (Continued from Page 4) of the tinsel of a street carnival. The Red Danish cattle and the Jutland, the two equally popular dairy breeds of Denmark. were on display. The original Red Danish cattle before the re—organization of agriculture were of the type that is easily satisfied with any kind of care and feed and would always give “some milk”. They were later built up through careful feeding. and through breeding with cattle from Slesvig, until now the dark red cows, averaging about 1100 pounds in weight, make up about half of Denmark’s “famous dairy herd. The Jutlands are the black' andwhite, wide, and deep—framed cows that look much like our own Holsteins. Most of the beef cattle are Shorthorns. ” “filming of Ribbons The winning of ribbons is an im- portant event in the life of a Dan— ish bull. When one buys a bull in Denmark the common practice is to pay a certain cash sum at the time of the sale and then to pay an equal amount depending upon his winning certain prizes at the next district or “county” fair. For in- stance, a certain bull sold near Pe- derstrnp. $1,422 Was paid in cash and a few weeks later when the an- nual we first prize at the fair an equal am unt was paid in addition. This bill was an exceptionally good one, of course. It is interesting to note that these bulls are not Judged. and these val- uable ribbons are not given accord- ing ’to the ability of the ownerof the bull to makehlm arch his back at a certain angle or curl his hair ' with a certain wave, but accord- in; to his actual record.

Hamlet, the Prince oi- Denmark, described so effectively by William Shakespeare, is believed by many of the Danes actually to have lived, moved and had his being in years gone by. Some say he is a legend and some say he is a real corpse. At any rate, the Grave of Hamlet, whether he is buried there or not, stands on a hill near “Helsingore”, or Elsinore, which overlooks a strait on the other side of which lies Sweden. Doctor Bereman looked across the narrow body of water at the little Swedish village on the other side and remarked "It looks just like Minneapolis, doesn't it—except for'the flour mills.” On the strength of this view we ll. ‘ _> wig. seen; in. - res'rn‘. ed ittle-ol Sweden". An old, old castle and an old, {old fart guard this narrow strait through .which all the commerce to :;the Baltic and beyond must pass. Here the Danes used to hold up the ships of other countries and make them pay tribute to sail through, until the Swedes in that neighborly manner of war so com- mon among European countries, ' made them sorry -for it. We explored the dungeons and mighty underground passages be— neath this great castle where alter- nately Danes and Swedes held their prisoners and treated them rough. In those damp chill, narrow cells these Danes and Swedes were, ac- cording to the fortunes of war, either the lordly keepers or the un— fortunate prisoners. And here the victims remained with only a slit in the wall for light, only rats and the chill damp for company, and with poor, hard fare to keep them barely alive until they had time to die of starvation, pneumonia, rheumatism and psychology. ‘éu‘r‘ friéndg~héfl°r i n.80mething * of Iii/heft" ‘ is» «w. a“ .a .

THE INDIAN DRUM (Continued from page 10.) struggled, twisting himself about to at his assailant. He caught the man'b‘ clothing, trying to drag himself up? fiighting blindly, dazedly, unable to see or think, he shouted aloud and then again;. aloud. He seemed in the distance to hear ' answering cries; but the weight and strength of the other was hearing him down again to his knees; he tried to slip aside from it, to rise. Then another blow, crushing and sickening, descended on his head; even hearing left him and, uncon- scious, he fell forward on to the snow and lay still. (Continued in June 6th‘issue.)

Every one of the millions of sacks of Larro manufactured since that time has been made from the same six ingredients—of the same high quality, combined in exactly the same proportions. Every sack of Larro made in the future will contain exactly the same proportions of these same six materials, unless experiments and feeding tests (which we are constantly carrying on) should prove some other combination more effecrive in the production of milk and profit for dairymen. There never has been and never will be, in Larro, a reduction in the amount of any ingredient and an increase in another simply to reduce costs. Larro isn't merely a name on a bag or tag. It is the symbol of unchanging high quality in feed. It is a pledge and a guarantee that every sack bearing our trade mark may be depended upon to be the same and to produce the same- resrzlts, no matter when or where it is purchased. - Write us for the name of the nearest dealer THE LARROWE MILLING COMPANY Detroit, Michigan “A ,‘ 1 1 1 £2323; £1231 thoroughly mixed with sand a}: gég . and gravel, or sand and crush- '- “f5.

The distinction and honor of having the first certificate in this Record of Performance goes to Mr. E. -B. Loehne, Central Lake, Michi- gan, member of the North Antrim Cow Testing Association. The total -of.838 applications have been (made for Record of Perfor- mance Certificates with the Dairy Department. These certificates are a step forward in giving recogni- tion to cows that have done well in the Cow Testing Association work. Information listed on the'certificate‘ of Record of Performance is valu- able. For example, the information on the first certificate which goes to Mr. E. B. Loehne shows that the purebred cow, Bennett’s Ruby, pro- duced 8442 pounds of milk and 484 pounds of butterfat with an average- test of 5.74 for'tlie Association year. This cow was more-than nine years old at the beginning of her record and the requirement for her age in the Record of Performance was 400 pounds of butterfat. In addition to the production re— cord the certificate also gives the pounds of feed consumed by the cow during the Association year. Ruby consumed: 6003 pounds of silage, 600 pounds of corn refuse, 2679 pounds of alfalfa, 577 pounds of corn stalks, 600 pounds of potatoes, 738 pounds of corn, 457 pounds of oats; 565 pounds of bran, 77 pounds of rye, 159 pounds of cottonseed meal, 95 pounds of oilmea}, and she _ was on pasture for a total of 168 days. . Further, there are descriptive re- marks made regarding the color, weight and markings of this parti- cular cow. The dates of the last two calvngs are also given, which will indicate whether or not the an— imal is a breeder. From this in— formation it is possible to determine the profitableness of_each animal. The prospective buyer may be in— terested and in turn he could :figure the value of the product produced by the cow and the cost of the feed consumed by her from the facts stated on the certificate. Also he might find in the facts given on the certificate information why the par— ticular cow did well in some other owner’s hands but not so well in his own hands in that the feeding conditions were not as good as those of the previous owner’s. Similar certificates are being sent out to many other Michigan dairy— men. Over 400 of these certificates have been completed and mailed. These certificates are signed by 0. E. Reed, Professor of Dairy Hus- bandry and A. C. Baltzer, in charge of Cow Testing Associations. A booklet is also being drawn up which will list each cow that is in the Record of Performance. In ad- dition this booklet will list herd where more than 50 per cent of the cows have made the Record 0" Per- formance requirements. These herds will be given special recognition in this booklet. A further point of value will be the listing of purebred sires that have five daughters which have qualified in the Record of Per- formance. These sires will be list— ed as proven sires. Additional entry blanks are being received from time to time by the Dairy Department from Cow Test- ing Association members whose cows have made the requirements for butterfat production. _ The age requirements are as fol- lows: 1. Cows starting record under 3 years of age must produce 280 pounds of more of butterfat. 2. Cows starting record under 4 years of age must produce 310 pounds. of more of butterfat. 3. Cows starting record under 5 years of age must produce 350 pounds of more of‘ butterfat. 4. Cows starting record when 5' years of age or older, or‘when age is not known, must produce 400 pounds of butterfat.-——-A. C. Baltzer, Dairy ,. Extension Specialist, Mic-lil- gan State College. . .

Lot two re— ceived a lighter grain ration with the same amount of oilmeal and more silage and alfalfa. Lot three was fed the same as lot two except that no oilmeal was fed. Swine Experiments Two series of pig feeding experi— ments are well along in progress and will be studied. One series of five lots of pigs is being used in searching for the best method of feeding rye profitably. Also the value of yeast in the ration is be— ing studied. In the other series, of five lots, the pigs are receiving different amounts of cull beans as the pro—' tein supplement to corn. Horse Feeding Experiment One years work has been com— pleted in feeding corn and alfalfa. to work horses. For the past sea— sin corn has been a short crop, and barley is more plentiful. In feed— ing alfalfa as a roughage, a grain high in carbohydrates and fat should be used. Twenty work hors— es are being fed as follows: Seven are receiving barley and alfalfa, seven are receiving oats and alfalfa, and six are receiving oats and bar— ley with alfalfa. The program will begin promptly at 10:30 A. M. Eastern Standard time, with a trip to the piggery, when the swine feeding trials Will be studied. From there a short trip to the horse barns for a look at the stallions, mares and foals, and back to the work horse barn for a dis— cussion of the rations on trial. Immediately after lunch, the calf feeding pens will be visited and the results presented. At 2:30 P. M. Dr. Shaw, Director of the Agricultural Experiment Sta— tion will discuss experiments in progress in the various departments of the College, and their practical application on the Michigan farms. Professor J. T. Horner, of the De— partment of Economics, will con- clude the program with a talk on “How the farmer can study market statistics and their relation to price fluctuations”. Doult D t BEARING EARLY CHICKS By C. G. CARD Acting Head, Department of Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C. HERE has been an increased in- terest lately, in the problems in— volved in feeding young chick- ens. A number of investigators have been experimenting with chickens reared indoors, under artificial con— ditions, and the result of their work has great value for poultrymen who must hatch and feed chickens at sea- sons when the young birds can not be sent out of doors. Their chief con— clusion is that the problems of indoor rearing is very largely a problem in feeding. Almost everything of which the chick is deprived when kept in- doors can be supplied him in his ra- tion. Early broilers always sell at a high price because the available supply is less than the market demands. This is 'true because they are produced out of season, when all the opera- tions attending their production are rendered mor'e difficult and expensive than during the spring and summer months. Hatching eggs are scarce and high priced, and they are likely to be, low in fertility and hatchabil- ity. ' It requires ten to twelve weeks to grow broilers so they will average one and a half to two pounds,._the weight. that seems to be desired on the market. To‘obtain this weight, at a time when the maximum price not pound is paid, means that the hawks:th be hatched during the ‘ instants: J‘snuary;or the month, or February. used for hatching continued on Rose -39) K Zecland smu- Bunk. , moo «#1430 Down Balance in 15 Monthly Payments see a new De Laval Cream Separator side—by-side with any other machine; and there W1.“ be no question which is the better designed and constructed.

Perfectly hatched chicks plus perfect rations will not insure success unless the tempera- ture conditions are satisfactory for the comfort of the chick. The brood- er stove should be regulated for sev- eral days so that it will maintain a temperature of 90 degrees‘xF. when the bulb of the thermometer is plac- ed on the floor at the outer edge of the hover. The floor of the brooder heuse should be covered with litter of cut straw, shavings, alfalfa leaves or similar material, to a depth of one inch. Placing an inch or two of sand .on the floor is often helpful in early season brooding, in holding the tem— perature more uniform, and will also .make the cleaning of the house somewhat easier. The' chief differences in the diet and environmental conditions of the indoor as contrasted with the out— of—door chicks, as usually fed, con- sist in the food which the out-of- door chick finds for itself (greens, roughage, dirt, bugs, etc.), the great- er amount of direct sunlight to which it is exposed, and the greater oppor- tunities for exercise which it has. Experiments by Halpin at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, Card, Univer- sity of Illinois, and others, show that the first two factors, i. e., elements in natural food, and sunlight, are the chief causes of the superiority and better growth of the out-of—door chicken. When these are supplied to chickens growing indoors, they can be reared to maturity with no more exercise than that allowed in an en- closure providing one to two square feet of floor space per bird. The problem of the man who pro— duces early broilers or who must rear chicks in confinement is to find out and then to supply the necessary chick is usually deprived. The old viewpoint on animal feed- ing, emphasized only heat and total protein as the necessary factors. The modern View is that a ration to be adequate for growth and reproduc- tion, mustcontain an abundance of heat (digestible carbohydrates and fats) proteins of the right quality, a suitable mineral mixture, some bal— last or indigestible material and in addition, the vitamines. ' A practical ration meeting these requirements, has been prepared by Halpin at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture, and has given unusually excellent and uniform results. This ration consists of 80 parts of yellow corn, 20 parts of wheat middlings, 5 parts of raw bone,. (about 50 per cent calcium phosphate), 5 parts of pearl grit (calcium carbonate), 1 part of common salt, and skimmed milk used freely. This ration is fed as a dry mash with the milk as a drink. No water is allowsd. With- out the water allowance 3. more gen- erous amount of skimmed milk will be consumed. There is no scratch or green feed provided. Direct sunlight plays an important part in animal life including the chicken. The rays that are effective in the prevention of rickets are those of short wave length. Ordinary win— dow glass absorbs these rays and consequently a room well lighted through ordinary windows is about as effective as an underground cellar so far as its ability to prevent rick— ets is concerned. It is the direct sun: light of the out—doors and not the fresh ground or green grass that are the effective preventativeso Vof leg weakness in chickens. The above ration plus direct sunlight is a com— plete ration for chick rearing. It needs no further supplement, not even eggs, cod liver oil, or green ma- terial.

W. rooms, Market Editor. a ARMERS are as busy as a hive of bees, and spring work will ‘ keep them so until the corn planting time is over. There is dif- ference of opinion as to the corn acreage of course, but without doubt it will be large, particularly in the numerous corn districts where the crop turned out poorly last year». In the corn belt states farmers depend mainly on corn and live stock, and greatly on hogs, and it is essential therefore that they should grow their own feed and not buy from other farmers, as so many had to do this season. Exports of, corn do not cut a very important figure at any time, being approxi— mately 20 per cent of the corn grown. and to feed our fast growing population, farmers are obliged to prepare more pork, beef and mut— It is Well = to remember that the population of the United States is now 113,500.— 000, according to figures based on census returns. Since the census of 1920 the increase is estimated at over 1.500.000 a year, a total gain of 8,000,000. pointing to a home de— mand for upward of 8 per cent. more food than in 1920. The poverty throughout Europe. resulting from v the war causes decreased exports or , food from this country, but the ag- gregate is still large. On the other hand, it is well to note the fact that there has been a decrease in the number of people engaged in the production of food in this country. Our Michigan farmers are very largely interested in the production of wheat, beans and potatoes, as well as in beet root sugar, grapes and fruits, and in the long run these are important sources of profit. it may be added that many of our farmers are more than ever before making it their aim to produce as much as possible of food used by their families. Another matter of interest is the extensive develop- ment of the highly profitable sheep industry. If a word of advice is ac- ceptable. I would say, if you are owning no well-bred sheep, get, busy and buy some good hardy ewes and bucks. The Wheat Outlook The winter wheat crop this year Will total 444,833,000 bushels, com- pared with 590,037,000 bushels last year, according to the estimate of the department of agriculture, the rye crop will yield 57,698,000 bush- els, against 63,446,000 bushels last year, according to the department’s report. Despite the abnormally small winter wheat crop this year, its value to the farmers on the basis of present farm prices is greater than the relatively large crop last year. This year’s crop at present prices is worth $632,000,000, com- pered to $565,000,000 for last year’s crop. Stocks of hay on farms May 1 are estimated at 15,679,000 tons, compared with 12,835,000 tons on May 1, 1924. As every wheat farmer knows from his personal experience, prices this year have been largely the re- sult of speculation. covering an ex— tremely wide range, soaring early to around $2.07 a bushel and falling later to around $1.40. Recently prices have undergone marked im- provement, the statistical showing and bad crop reports causing good up-turns and active buying. Where prices will ultimately land is hard to tell, but good authorities regard wheat as worth at least $1.60, if not more. The other grains follow wheat in its fluctuation, as usual, but speculative interest is still in wheat. Not only wheat sells at far higher prices than at this time in 1924, but all the other grains except oats sell away higher, the price of oats being depressed by the exces- sive marketing by farmers. A short time ago the visible oats supply in the United» States aggregated over 44,000,000 bushels, comparing with 481.082.1109. “Jimmie: a k earlier. :-. and only 9,280,000 bushels a year ago. At the same time visible wheat supply Was 43,464,000 bushels, com- paring with. 48,120,000 ‘bushels a year ago; that of corn 21,158,000 bushels, comparing with 17,454,000 bushels a year ago; and that of rye 11,500,000 bushels, comparing with 19,717,000 bushels a year ago. *Ac- cording to the government report, the three big southwestern states, Kansas, .Nebraska and Oklahoma. are expected to harvest only 162,— 000,000 bushels or wheat, a short- age of 101,000,000 bushels from last year. The carry over of wheat to the next crop year is expected to be less than that of last year, and the world’s carry over will show a large falling off. “You would think that America has lost its business sense trying to market its old and new wheat crop as cheaply as possible,” Julius H. Barnes is quoted as saying in a re- view of the world’s situation. “The whole world’s basis is ready .to re- spond to any advance in prices and strip us of our crop anyway.” Mr. Barnes refers to the estimate of the U. S. department of . agriculture showing that the world’s carry over may be reduced to 125,000,000 bushels on July 1, which he thinks is the lowest on record, and indi- cates that last year’s crop was con- sumed in spite of economy and high prices, plus 160,000,000 bushels from the previous year’s surplus. Wheat is passing hands at the highest premium of the crop and American mills will feel that the exports are stripping us within four weeks. Late sales were made for May de- livery of wheat at $1.71, comparing with $1.05 a year ago; corn at $1.12, comparing with 76 cents a year ago; oats at 46 cents compar— ing with 47 cents a year ago; and rye at $1.22, comparing with 65 cents a year ago. Wild Hog Market Such wildly excited and variable hog markets as those of recent days are extremely unusual, being due mainly to meager ofierings at first, followed by excessive supplies later, these being the natural result of early booms in prices. In a single day the Chicago hog prices broke from 50 to 70 cents, and in two days prices were of! more than a dollar. This is certainly going it into exporters’ ” marked gains over-those ter. recent weeks, while" smaller than one and two years ago. But despite the se— vere ,declines in prices, hogs still sold for higher than in recent years, having brought. $0.60 to $7.60 one year ago and 30.20 to $7.95 two years ,ago. Butcher hogs weighing from 180 to 250 pounds topped the market, selling 20 cents above the best light bacon boss. .The best hogs sold at the week’s Close at $12.25, comparing with 312.6511 week earlier. Spring Pig Crop The Chicago Evening Post says: “Early reports from hog raisers in the corn belt indicate a good crop of pigs this spring. Several Iowa and ‘Illinois farmers here with stock this week state that they are having un- usual luck with their pigs this sea- son, which they'attribute mainly to the favorable weather. The mortal- ity thus far has been exceptionally small. Government reports made last fall showed that soWs had been marketed so closier that fewer were bred and it was predicted that the crop of pigs this spring would be at least 25 per cent short of last year on that account. It is believed that good weather this spring will mod- ify that estimate considerably.” The Cattle Market How near the Department of Agri- culure was to forming a right state- ment in its official report of the large falling off in the number of cattle in feeding districts is a matter in’which opinions differ widely, but there is no doubt as to the super abundance of supplies marketed in western packing“ points recently, and the re- ceipts in seven western markets for the year to date aggregate 3,444,000 head, comparing with 3,531,000 for the corresponding time last year and 3,542,000 two years ago—mot such a large falling off. There have been *recent sharp declines’in prices in the- Chicago market, with the bulk of the beef steers selling for $8.75 to $10.50, the extreme range of sales being from $8 to $9 for the common lots to $10 to $10.75 for the better class of heavy steers, with sales of the choice kinds of yearlings at $10.25 to $11.25. A few inferior little steers sold for $5 to $7.75, while butcher cows and heifers brought $4.60 to $11, and a short time ago prime Angus yearling heifers brought $11.40. Bulls sold at $4.25 to $8.25, canner cows and cutters at $3.25 to 4.50 and calves at $5 to $11 per 10 pounds. . The stocker and feeder trade was ac- tive to the extent of the moderate offerings at $6 to $8.25, sales being .

' -' _ f:';;.j.:;' ; ~ The growth of thev‘oarlyffsxiring lamb crop during April continued ex-" ceptionally good and: in nearly? up, areas the May 1- condition ,‘was the best in some years; according to the report of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. Except for the last week, theweather during April was unusually mild, with much sun- shine. Pastures made good growth everyWhere plentiful. The market. movement from all important areas will prob- . ably be nearly two Weeks earlier than last year. In California feed condi- tions remained excellent and the bulk of the early lambs is,ymaturing,’trap- ' idly. unusually large, and 'to May 1 about 130,000 lambs, live and dressed, had been shipped east. Shipments dur— mg May are estimated at around 200,000 head, with the peak loadings during the second week--- The total ' eastern movement will probably be larger than the first estimate of around 300,000 live and dressed. The early Arizona lambs have moved freely and total shipments may reach 50,000 head. In the southeastern states weather and feed cOnditions were usually good during April. In Tennessee the—condition of the early lambs is the best in some years. An exceptionally good lot of market lambs is expected due to better care as well as to have favorable weather and feed. Marketing in volume will start early in May and the total shipments from the state are esti- mated at around 175,000. The lambs in Kentucky and Virginia also gained rapidly during April and an early movement is anticipated. The weather to the endzof April in .Mis— souri was the 'favorable for raising lambs in some years. Losses have been light andthe percentage of lambs saved is large. Consider— able shipments will be' made "the lat- ter part of May and the June ship- ments will be large. Other early lambing areas in the corn belt report an exceptionally favorable season ond recent rains forecast a continuation of the good pasturage conditions. The lamb crop is everywhere reported as large and the conditions high. In the far northwest, rains in April improved range feed prospects ma- terially in the dry areas and good feed for the next two months seems assured. In Idaho the early lamb crop made excellent growth and if present conditions continue, the mar— ket movement may beearlier than last year. In Washington needed rains have greatly improved range conditions, but early lambs are not quite as good as on May 1, last year. During the last days of April a cold- spell accompanied by snow andrrain _ prevailed over large areas of the Mountain states. The storm_ was hard on late lambing flocks and con— siderable losses of young lambs are reported from some of these sec- tions. Indiana wool prices are 20 per cent lower than a year ago, as shown by the recent survey made by ~- the Indiana Sheep Breeders’ Asso- ciation. WHEAT The Detroit market opened easy the first of last week but before the close on Saturday it was strong and prices higher for the week. There is some talk' of $2 wheat but belief that the price will again reach that level before another crop is not very general. The new crop needs rain in many sections. ' CORN Corn was unchanged last week at Detroit while a stronger tone pre- vailed at Chicago.' ,A firm tone in the hog market gave corn strength at Chicago. ::A'lso*1there"was rear q: frost. 4 h ' ~ used 0303.175: fto : 37.75'701- desirable; ~' ‘ lots.

BEANS or 'our May 9th issue *‘veloped and the price at Detroit went, to, $5.50 per cwt. but the ad- vance. did not hold and. the price "is now only 5 cents above what it was two weeks ago. Some dealers are of the opinion that the bottom will be about‘*$6.00'per cwt. Both canners and wholesale grocers seem to be buying on the hand-to-mouth basisat present. Receipts; are light. . POTATOBE Demand for potatoes improved considerably during” the fortnight ending Saturday, May 16, and prices made several gains with the market steady. to ru'shg‘their'potatoes to market as they are at'this writing-because the Indi- cations are that old potatoes will clean up very nicely if marketed or— derly. , WOOL A slight improvement in the tone of the Boston wool market is noted and more optimism is being shown among the trade, though prices con— tinue normal. Manufacturers seem to be taking more of an interest in the market and inquiry is fair. Average quotations on the better class of‘ fleece wools similar to Ohio and Pennsylvania (grease basis) are: 'Fine, strictly combing, 48 @ 49c lb; fine, clothing, 44 @ 45c lb; one—half blood, » strictly combing. 480 lb; one-half blood, clothing, 43c lb; , three-eighths blood, strictly combing, 47c lb; one-quarter blood, strictly combing. 45 @ 460 1b; low, one—quarter blood, strictly combing, 44 @ 45c lb. The better class of Michigan wool is 1 @ 20 lb less. ‘ I Week of May 24 1TH a rather extensive and high barometric pressure ex- pected over most western, middle west and lake states at beginning of this week, we see a few days of fair but cool weather. On or immediately after the mid— dle of this week, temperatures will have returned to more normal (3011-. ditions and as a result cloudiness will increase followed by mere or less general and plentiful precipitav tion. These rains will cease before Sa- turday allowing the week to end with fair days and clear nights and close to normal temperatures. Week of May 81 The last storm period of last week may stage a reaction at very beginning of,this week in which event there will be a day or so of rains but if this does not transpire, look for generally fair weather up to about the middle of this week. All during central days of this week there will be numerous show- ers in many parts of the state. Tem- peratures during any part of the week are not expected to be high but after, this storm area passes east of Michigan, readings will be even lower, ranging below normal near the close of the week. June Warm andWet Because the precipitation is ex- pected to be a little above the aver- agefor this month in most parts of Michigan? and the temperature will range above, normal, we areexpect- ‘Jng that garden truck andfruit will have good growing "conditions.

F. Cox, head of the farm creps department at the Michigan State College. Prof. Cox however believes that economic conditions are favorable to the plant- ing of sugar beets and asserts that — beets are usually a safe crop if some study is given production and mar- ket factors. “In spite of the fact that this year has been an unusual year for the preparations of seed beds for sugar beets”, says Professor Cox, “It is ap— parent that the acreage will not quite equal that of last year, unless ' more farmers in the next week or so conclude that beets are a safe crop. “Apparently some have been de; terred from planting due to an— nouncement, of large reserves of sugar abroad and comparatively low prices prevailing at the present time. It should be kept in mind that the per capita consumption of sugar has increased in the past five years in the United States from 85 to 126 pounds per person, and also that sugar beet acreage in the great western sugar producing states is much less this year, due to serious inroads of nema— todes and beet diseases in western states last year. The European acreage is also reported to be lower. Present reserves will rapidly melt away. “Contracts are being offered Mich- igan farmers for sugar beets this year similar to those of the past year, with a minimum of $7 a ton assured growers, and increases above. that based on sugar prices. Great elements or risk that occur to other field crops do not exist in the case of beets. Labor conditions have im— proved, and there will be plenty of labor available to sugar companies to fulfill their part of the contract in growing the beet crop. as well as more labor for the farmers. Should we have another cold, wet summer and fall, the beet crop would thrive ,under such conditions, while corn and beans would be injured. “Beans, beets, and potatoes have been a great three-horse team for Michigan farmers. Best results will be secured if they kept pulling even- ly in the harness; in other words,—, it is not advisable to plant too large anvacreage of beans and potatoes at the expense of the beet crop where these crops compete. .
