COLLEGE CATTLE SELL WELL ,.
E experiméntal cattle from the
Michigan State College sold on
June 3rd on the Detroit market

at $10.50 per cwt. They were hand-

led by the Michigan Live Stock Ex-
change and were bought by the

_Michigan Beef Company. ‘

These thirty heifer calves had
been on feed since November 7,
1925, starting at an average weight
of 370 pounds, and the entire drove
averaged 756 pounds in Detroit.

They had been fed in three lots,
divided equally as to size, conforma-
tion. quality and fishing. The final
experimental weights were taken on
Kay 16, making a feeding period of
190 days.

The basal ration of silage and al-
falfa was fed in all lots through-out
the experiment. Each lot received
all the silage they could clean up
readily twice per day, and alfalfa
hay was kept before them in racks.

and Lot 2 each received one pound
of oilmeal per day the first 90 days.
and one and one-half pounds per day.
the next 60 days and two pounds per
day the last 40 days, fed on the si-
lage night and morning.

Lot 1 was put on a self feeder of
grain at the end of 30 days, when
by gradual increase they had reached
a full feed. Lot 2 was hand fed
twice daily~approximately two thirds
the amount of grain consumed by
Lot 1 throughout the experiment.
Lot 3 received no oil-cal but was
fed an amount of grain equal to the
sum of the grain- and oilmeal ted in
Lot 2. until 50 days before the close
of the experiment when they refused
to take the increased ration until
only a few days before the close of
the t. However, their
gains dropped for only a few days.

‘_ Study These Newly Enacted Statutes or You May Unconsciously Become a Law
Breaker and An Unintentional Criminal
By STANLEY M. POWELL ‘

(Lansing Correspondent of The Business Farmer.)

ies of legislative summaries

has been rung down on the. regular

May 27th and 28th a handful of
faithful lawmakers gathered in the
legislative chambers at Lansing and
wrote the concluding chapters in the
oillcial Journal of the session’s his-

. 

Of course. there was not a quor-

um present. No one expected that
. The whole affair
was a formality. The real work of
the session had been finished on
Mayhfind. The recess of 25 days
whic. had intervened had been for
the urpose of allowing time for the
enrolment and printing of the bills
whiéh the Legislature had passed
and for their presentation to the
Governor for his consideration.
(7' The remnant of the 1925 solons
who gathered under the Capitol
dome for the final obsequies were
most interested in hearing which
ones of their pet bills the Governor
had signed and'yilish had entered
themcuuv'e veto; Sf Ediirse, there
wasn't anything anybody could do
about it. A two-thirds vote of the
members of both houses is neces-
and neither branch had anywhere
near even a bare quorum present.

When the last message from the
Governor had been read it was
found that of the 415 acts passed by
the. Legislature and sent to the Ex—
eCuthe Office, 396 had been approv-
ed, _18 provoked the veto and one
was approved in a modified or
amended form. Of the 18 vetoed
bills, 12 had origiinated in the
House and 6 in the Senate. Most
of these 18 vetoed bills are of little
direct interest to farmers. Some of
them, however, relate to problems
of the utmost importance to agri—
culture and the public welfare in
general.

Rural‘Bill, Vetoed

From the farmers’ point of view
probably the most regretable veto
was that which disallowed the ap-
propriation of $50,000 for each of
the next two years granted by the
Legislature to the State Department
of Agriculture fer the inspection
service and the enforcement of the
grades and standards of Michigan
fruit and farm products.

The fruit and potato men had ori—
ginally requested $85,000 for this
purpose, but after prolonged battle
they had been forced to accept the
compromise amount of $50,000.
Now the veto has Wiped out even
Naturally the
fruit and potato growers and their
organizations are very much up in
They have sent an impos-
ing delegation of influential repres-
entatives to Lansing to wait on the
Governor and to protest the veto.
It is understood that as a result of
their arguments as to the import-
ance of the inspectmn service, the
necessary money will be .provided
by the State Administrative Board
out of the emergency funds of the
state.

It is interesting to note the vari-
ous reasons which are proposed as
explanations of this particular veto.
Several big city dailies attempted
to explain it on the basis of the Gov-
ernor's 'desire for economy. This
certainly, is a. laudable purpose it
consistently applied and generally
carried out. However, it is «flat

> rm s—

 

 

profess to see some possible con-
nection between the veto and the
fact that this bill was introduced by
Rep. David Brake, a most independ-
ently minded lawmaker. Rep. Brake
may be remembered as the man who
when the vote on senatorial reap-
portl-onment was announced, arose
and said, “I move you, Mr. Speaker
that we present to the Governor this
Capitol and all that goes with it
and that we then adjourn this
House for a period of twenty
years."

Some credence is given to the

above view-point by the fact that.

before the vote on reapportionment,
Rep. Brake had been reminded that
he had a son working in the State
Highway Department and that
hence he should consider well the
result of his actionsg Rep Brake
refusedto ‘Ee'lntimidat‘ed lay this
warning. Now his bill has been
vetoed. Moreover, the son in ques-
tion was straightway dismissed
from the State employ and dropped
off the payroll.
T-B Fund Out

A somewhat similar situation
arose in connection with the Espie
bill which provided an emergency
appropriation of $100,000 to pay ac—
cumulated awards and to allow for
the balance of the present fiscal
year, that is until July 1, 1925. The
Governor saw fit to lop off $60,000
cutting the appropriation. from
$100,000 to $40,000. In his veto
message he said, "While I consider
the work of eradicating tuberculo-
sis among cattle of prime import—
ance, there will be little trouble ex-
perienced in completing the _work
now in progress for the present fis-
cal year for the last. mentioned
sum."

The facts are that the $40,000 al-
lowed will just about clean up the
accumulated awards leaving practi-
cally no funds for carrying on any
eradication campaigns until the
next fiscal year unless the bills are
allowed to run along and be paid
out of next year’s funds. This means
that some counties that long ago
provided their local funds and have,
in fact, been on the State's waiting
list for about two ye'ars‘tas wwait a
little longer.

There is quite a possibility that
the Governor’s veto may not be final
in this instance as there is consid-
erable talk of taking the matter to
the Supreme Court. The constitu—
tion empowers the Governor to veto
entire bills or to disapprove individ-

ual items in appropriation bills, but
it contains no authorization for the
Executive to change amounts as was
done in this instance. Rep. Espie
was another of the recalcitrant
members who refused to heed strong
suggestions that he vote for sena-
torial reapportionment.

Among the bills of general inter-
est vetoed were the bill creating the
office of poet laureate for Michigan,
the bill allowing members of the
State Board of Agriculture pay for
the days actually spent in the ofiic-

- ial duties (not to exceed a total of
24 days per year, however), and
the Karcher bill to allow railroads
to use motor vehicles not running
upon rails for supplementing their
regular service. This bill has been
discussed repeatedly, in former aru
time b" "your Lansing correspond-
ent an has been accorded strong
editorial comment in THE BUSINESS
FARMEB. The situation which this
legislation seeks to remedy will
probably be discussed in a future
issue as it is one of the utmost im-
portance both to the farmers and
to the public in general.
Clo-Ops Win Great Victory

And now let us turn our atten—
ton from the matter of vetoed legis-
lation to a consideration of some of
the important measures passed by
the Legislature and accorded the
executive approval. In previous is-
sues we have discused the bills re-
lating to highways, rural education
safety and health.

From a strictly farmer’s point of
view probably no law enacted dur—
ing the recent session is of greater
importance that the Thomas bill ex—
empting farmers’ cooperative mar-
keting organizations from the state
anti—trust laws. The federal coop-
erative marketing act had protect-
ed co-ops in interstate commerce,
but state legislation was sadly need-
ed. The Thomas bill amends the
state anti—trust law as follows:

“Provided, however, that nothing
contained in the provisions of this
act shall be construed to forbid pro—
ducers of farm or dairy products
from, pOOperating or Organizing cor—
porations or associations not prim-
arily for profit, for the purpose of
insuring and provding a reasonably
certain and stable market for, and
distribution of, such products upon
terms fair and reasonable to the
public and to themselves, and bar-
faining with distributors of such
products singly or collectively in re—
lation thereto, nor shall such co—

, Condition of All Crops Under Last Year

CROP prospects throughout Mich-
igan are far from satisfactory.
The monthrof May was charac—
terized by unusual extremes of
weather, temperatures ranging from
below the freezing point to above 90
degrees, and the rainfall being the
lightest on record. As a result, all
crops have suflered severely. Every
crop concerning which inquiry was
made on June 1 is reported below
the ten—year average according to the

all grain and hay crops. The hot
period during the opening days of
June, since the receipt of the reports
of correspondents and the compila-
tion of the official estimates, have
produced still further deterioration.
Winter Wheat: The condition de-
clined from 83 to 75 per cent of nor—
mal during the month of May. In
many sections it did not stool well
and is consequently thin on the
ground. Growth has been slow and
it is heading on short straw. Hes-
sian fly is reported in a few locali—
ties. The present condition is five

pared with 10,888,000 bushels har-
vested 'ws year.

associations or members thereof be
held or construed to be illegal com-
binations in restraint of trade."

Another bill which will be of con-
siderable benefit in the marketing of
farm products is Senator Leland’s
bill regulating the re—use of fruit
and vegetable containers which are
marked with any copyrighted or reg—
istered label, brand, stamp or trade
mark, or the use of copyrighted or
registered tags which are the prop-
erty of another. Violation of the
provisions of this act is made pun—
ishable by a fine of from $25 to
$100 or by fine or by imprisonment
in the county jail for a period of
30 to 90 days, or both such fine and
imprisonment. Enactment of this
law is regarded as a step in a pro-
gram of making labels and trade-
marks mean more and merit more
attention and respect than has been
true in the past. It is a sad com—
mentary on human nature that I
trademarked containers have been
repacked by another person or con-
cern and the product marketed un-
der false pretenses, with disastrous
results to the owner of the trade—
mark or label.

Dairy Frauds Outlawed

From the standpoint of the dairy
farmer, one of the most important
marketing bills passed was Senator
Butler’s bill prohibiting adulteration,
fraud and deception in the manufac—
ture and sale of butter and cream.
According to the terms of this act
butter shall be regarded as adulter-
ated:

1. If the fat content is not exclus-

ively derived from cows’ milk.

2. If it contains less than 80 per

cent of milk fat.

3. If it contains to exceed 16 per

cent moisture.

Section 3 of this act provides:
“Cream shall be deemed adulterated
within the meaning of this act if it
contains less than 18 per cent of milk
fat or is not that portion of milk,
rich in milk fat, which rises to the
surface of milk on standing, or is
separated from it by centrifugal I
force or is not clean."

Violation of this act is punishable
by fines of from $50 to $500, or im—
prisonment in the county jail for a
period of no more than 90 days.

Probably ere was no agricultural
legislation which provoked more con—
troversey than that relative to bovine
T-B eradication. The chief disagree—
ment arose over a proposal sponsored
by the dairy interests to require the
testing of all cattle brought into a
county where the test had been car—
ried out or was in progress. Through
the tremendously active opposition of
the commercial steer feeders this
legislation was not enacted. About
the only important feature of the
bill finally passed on this subject was
the provision that in no case should
the total of the indemnity exceed the.
difference between the appraxse’ (i
value of the condemned animal and
the amount received as salvage there-
for. .

Very little discussion or publicity
was given one bill the enactment of
which into law will undoubtedly re-
sult in many farmers unknowingly
becoming law breakers. This meas-
ure was the Hartman bill which reads
in part as follows: “It shall be un—
lawful when the ground is not snow

‘. lNY soil that will permit a catch
‘ of clover is all right. I learn—

ed this from a residence of six-
teen years on what was termed a
sand forty. When I cleared the
first three acres and set up house-
keeping in a small shack I was de—
nominated “Another fool come to
judgment.”

Such a designation was, however,
a misnomer, since I stuck to that
forty, cleared and stumped it, and
made of it one of the finest small
fruit ranches in the township, and
a portion of that experience is what
I want to tell your readers about.

I had read considerable on fruit
growing before I set foot__ on the
land in question. I was not a farm-
er by practice, but a bookish desk
man in a considerable :town. It
was through too close attention to
this desk work that I undermined
my health and found it necessary to
get out in the fields with God if I
would regain it.

Necessity is said to be the mother
of invention. Of this I know little.
but I do know that my many years
experience next the soil was the

‘ making of a good fruit grower, and
'the rebuilding of lost health. My
‘wlfe liked the change, so that we

were both satisfied and very much
enthused. She soon learned to love
the outdoor life. and most of the
vegetable and flower garden was left
to her management.

I had read something on straw—
berry growing, and almost my first
adventure was the setting of a half
{an acre of strawberries, from which

were low, however, and there was
no great bonanza in fruit growing
at that time. but in later years it
came to be a most profitable invest—
ment.

Corn, potatoes. rye and oats were
crops in which I invested while get-
ting the cleared acres in proper trim
for the fruit which I intended mak-
ing my principal output.

There was considerable humus in
the soil, and this furnished suffici—
ent fertilizer till I got a catch of
clover, after which I experienced no
difficulty in going ahead with my
work, making in time a very pro-
ductive small fruit farm.

I"had to learn much, however, be—
fore I became an expert at the game.

What Effect

and plants by sun and moon is
known definitely to have been

practised fully 3100 years ago

These rules have been brought down
to the present day with little or no
change and whether it is called a
superstition. or not depends upon
the state of one’s mind.

We are frank to admit our belief
in the powers of lunar influence up-
on earth life from mineral to hu-
man form but not to the radical ex-
treme that it is carried by some who
profess belief. There is consider—
ably more to this belief than mere-
ly planting in the light or dark of
the moon or when the sun or moon
are in certain signs. In the first
place, not every one would meet
with the same success, because each
individual would have a different
method of procedure which, in it-

I found that although one can learn
much from books, it becomes neces-
sary to solve problems at first hand
before one is fully competent to
carry on successfully.

Raising berries, boxing and tak-
ing them miles to market with the
price at three cents a quart is hard-
ly the bonanza it had been cracked
up to be. Anyhow, I found it so,
and realized that perhaps I had
made a mistake in making berries
the piece de resistance of my farm
operations.

Time and change of conditions
worked wonders with me, else I
should not now be relating my ex~
periences to a waiting public.

I built my house with my own
hands, making quite a respectable
looking building, which in after
years was improved upon and with
the addition of paint and flowers,
blossomed into a very neat country
residence.

‘Some growers grade their fruit.
which is no doubt a good way to
get rid of the seconds. With me,
however, aiming as I did to produce
only first class fruit, I did not waste
space on the fruit wagon taking sec—
ond grades to market. Fact was I
had—aery little of the latter, my aim
being to so select the planting as to
get only the best of everything.

Topping baskets and boxes is all
right if done honestly and properly.
The top of these should show exact—
ly what the box or basket contains.
I found it very good policy in fill—

ing berry boxes to put some of the

finest specimens in the bottom of
the box, so that when the buyer
turned them out some extra large,
meaty red berries smiled up in his
face. Never put the best on top.

buyer at the shipping point would

knowing of my writing our experi—
ences out for the agricultural press.

Sm‘all fruit was my ideal, and I
went into it gradually, learning the
how of working to good advantage
by degrees, not attempting to dash
into big things at the outset. One
has to learn to walk before he can
run, and I found this fact very nec—

essary in the building of a fruit
farm.
Fertilization, cultivating, a prop~

or method for successful work. Al—
though I learned much from books,
I made better progress through my
owu personal experimenting than
otherwise.

Proper sorting is another thing
which is necessary to successful
growing of fruit, from the smallest
berry to the largest peach and apple.
Never let a cull get into basket or
box. I have found that culls better
by far be turned under by the plow

and then to ascertain their Quality.
It pleased him to find as many big
ones in the bottom and middle of
the container as were on top. . Such
methods pay richly in the long run.
After a few years none of the
dealers turned my fruit containers.
The name on the box or basket sig-
nified that the contents were 0. K.
There can be no more exquisite
pleasure than finding that every
purchaser of your fruit is a satisfied
customer, and that you do not have
to seek a new market every year for
your fruit. It gives the producer
even more pleasure to note the glad
happiness of/ his customer than it
it does the buyer to find an honest
fruit grower. -
Thorough cultivation is even bet—

both through the invisible and the
light ray.

By projecting different colored
lights upon plants different results
were obtained, not so much due to
color as a color but to the wave
length or electrical vibration em-
ployed. These electrical vibrations
act upon the active parenVChyna
cells or sap and stimulates or re-
tards the plant action according to
its nature, it is believed.

Plant life is very largely made
up of water, 80 to 90 per cent and
even more with some plants. Water
is very essential to plants since they
take much nourishment from the
soil in liquid form and if the water
is not plentiful, the plant starves
accordingly.

It hasvbeen demonstrated in the
Hartley botanical laboratories - of
University that some
plants grow more quickly in mean-

light than by sunlight. Cucumbers.
for instance, grew two or three inch-
es more in the moon light than by
day light and the seeds germinated
better under the moon. Polarized

moonlight was used in the experi—‘

ment and the same results were ob—
tained by polarized electric light. It
was also discovered that moon light
could be polarized only during cer-
tain phazes of the moon.

The moon’s power over water is
well known through the influence
of the ocean tide and it likewise
holds sway over the sap flow of
plants. When the sun shines upon
flowers, the water pressure is held
down more than when the direct in—
fluence of the bright luminary is di—
verted. It has been proven, accord-
ing to a French scientist, that flow-‘
ers are more fragr’nt when the sun
is not shining ~.on them. ‘ r

‘ I The .suniis by n moansi‘fin my

during the growing season was not
the best method with me, although
so had the book stated. The bushes
grew so tall the Winds of autumn
broke many of them over, and in—
jured others by cracking the canes
at the surface of the ground.

To avoid this I pinched them
back when twelve and fifteen inches
high, With far better results, since
the canes were more sturdy to resist
winds, and there was a broader sur-
face for fruit, thus insuring a larger
crop of the finest fruit out.

I had two stands of‘ blackcaps
growing nearly side by side. One
of these I freely fertilized with
barnyard manure, While the other
growing on exactly the same soil, I
left unmanured, being short for one
thing, and quite willing to experi-
ment for another. .

The unfertilized plat I cultivated

weekly during the growing season.

while the other I left with about
one half the working of the soil.

Result—the heavily manured sec~
tion, given less cultivation, gave
a fairly good crop of berries, while
the unfertilized, thoroughly culti-
vated lot surprised me with the
great crop of marketable berries, in
fact producing one quarter more in
quantity and as good in quality as
that from the \freely fertilized plat.

This experiment proved to me
that however necessary it is to fen-
tilize freely it is even moreneces-
sary for success to keep the cultiva‘
for going all summer. Fertilizing,
coupled with thorough cultivation,
is of course the ideal way to manage
a berry plat.

Marketing is as necessary to suc~
cess as raising first class fruit. A
trade can be built up by going at it
in the right way, that is, by putting
nothing but first class fruit before
the buyer, and maintaining that ex-
cellence right through the season.

The first requisite for selling to
advantage is strict honesty in deal-
ing with the public. The buyer is
naturally suspicious when a new
man comes upon the market, and it
will require considerable time to
convince the purchaser that every-
thing is all to the good. There are
so many snide fruit growers, more
than you imagine, it pays well to
make a name for-yourself and your

products that will absolutely sell
them at good prices even when
there is a tremendous over-pro-
(luction.

I have found this true, that no

matter how large the crop, there is
never a superabundance of n mber
one fruit. Such fruit sells a sight
while the not over good and the
culls are a drug in the market.

Has the Moon and Sun on Your Planting ?

tant, however, for without it there
would be no plants at all from an
agricultural as well as our own
point of, view of solar and lunar
planting influence. Sunlight upon
the green leaves starts up the plant’s
chemical laboratory, transforms the
carbon dioxid of the air into sugar,
feeds the plant and then the sur—
plus is sent to the roots where it
is changed into starch and stored
as food (in the case of root crops).

The invisible rays of sun light are
also quite destructive under certain
conditions. They are a destroyer
of germs, good for fumigating and
according to a French “beauty doc-
tor” are the means of ridding one
permanently of a beard and leaving
only a smooth face.

The above are all more or less
proven facts to the matter-of—fact
scientist but when he tabos the
“superstition” of sun and moon
planting, he forgets that what the
sun and moon light do openly in his
laboratory, they also do through
the invisible ray under certain other
astronomical conditions. whether the
sun and moon are visible or not.
This fact is proven by the moon’s
power in raising a tideth direct-
ly underneath the port as well :as

ONION SEEDS
I would like to know how many
om seeds it takes for an acre and
what kind is best for all purposes,
also some instructions as to tilling.
E. 0., Branch. Mich.

rI‘EE amount of onion seed which
is sown per acre will vary from

three to five pounds. Many
growers prefer to sow at the rate of
four pounds.

As a rule the Michigan markets
prefer some type of Yellow Globe.
The variety known as Michigan Yel-
low Globe is very satisfactory. An-
other good variety is the Yellow
Globe Danvers. -

Onions may be grown on almost
any type of soil. but a very large pro-
portion of the crop grOWn in Mich—
igan is produced on muck. If muck
is used it will pay to use up to 1,200
mileperacreofahighgrade fer»
tiling, rich in potash. The formula
3-8-10 has been, found to be very sat-

The soil should be well fitted, and
the seed sown early in spring, as
soon as hard freezes are over. Seed
is sewn in rows 12 to 14 inches
apart. The plants are cultivated
with wheel hoe, starting as quickly
as rows may be seen. A little later
it will be necessary to hand weed
the rows.
~ The bulbs should be thoroughly
ripened before harvesting. After be-
ing pulled they are cured in wind-
rows in the field. When dry they
may be topped, racked up in the
lieu in crates for further curing, but
heme hard frosts come, they must
be placed in storage—Geo. E. Starr,

Trees

’1‘ is very gratifying to me .to no-
tice the interest the people are
showing in the planting of trees.

It has always seemedto the writer
that people never half appreciated
trees. When one
sees so many
.fine old maples
lining our vil—
lage streets, and
Joccasionally row-
ed up along the
highway, one is
inclined to be-
lieve that our
grandfathers ap-

 

preciated trees
more than we
do.

L. W. MEEKS

Trees have al-
ways made a
strong appeal to me, and I never cut
one even in the woodlot, without a
feeling of something wrong in my
heart. If trees grew to maturity as
quickly as squashes the question
would be easily solved, but it is a
matter of years with trees as com—
pared to days with squashes. This
makes the proposition quite dif-
ferent.

There are some, however, who
seem to feel that trees were placed
here for us to make use of, and they
seem to have a delight in doing it.
The question comes to me many
timesmwhat would our county be if
every one was as thoughtless and
ruthless as some are.

A few years ago a man bought
a farm not far from here, and
along the roadside, well away from
the fence where they might possibly
do harm grew several fine old hick-
ories. About the first thing he did
was to cut them for wood. This
was his privilege if he wanted to,
but the question which I ask is
“Why did he want to?” Sure they
made a few cords of wood, but small
cash outlay would have bought
their equal in coal as fuel; and no
cash outlay will ever replace those
hickories. The school children will
never again spend their noon hours
beneath them cracking nuts. They
are gone forever.

We, who have defective hearing,
are said to know nature by sight,
and sight only, while those with
good hearing know nature by sound
as well as sight, and so we, who
have only sight to impress our
minds may think’ more seriouSIy
about the loss of things like trees——
but I believe if I was blesed with
perfect hearing I would love trees
just as much, and they would mean
the same to me.

As I look out the window I see a
fine specimen of Carolina Poplar
about eight inches in diameter and
thirty feet tall. I bought it of a
nursery company and planted it
some eight years ago. There are
some others too, but the one I see
from where I write is the largest
one. It is the first tree or plant of
any kind to send out leaves in the
spring, and the only regret I have
is that I cannot hear the leaves rus—
as well as see them tossing as the
wind plays with them this morning.
What did we set out Carolinas for?
We know they are a short lived
tree? No doubt they couldn’t be
otherwise and grow so fast. We
were aware of this at the time we
set them out, and so planted some
maples between them, with the in—

tention of removing the poplars
when the maples become large
enough "to need the space. But the

maples have not thrived as.well
as the poplars. The first ones all
died, and had to be replaced, and
I am sure these are not going to
grow into large ones. I Some sort of
borer seems to.infest the bark on
them, and in time they will be able
to withstand these attacks.

A little to the side, and back
about fifty feet from the house is
an old Baldwin apple tree. It is of
good size and, makes “some shade,

would be worth a great deal to us
when the apple tree was gone.
Well, this maple is doing fine. It
was set the same time as the pop-
lars and [first maples were, and it is
the only one of the first maples re
maining today.

These maples were taken from
the wood lot and were accustomed
to shade. The old apple tree fur-
nished the shade. Those set in the
open could not stand the sun. If
one wants to set maples, it would
pay big to purchase them of a nut-
sery company and get trees which
have grown in the sunshine. They
are hardier, and their bark is not
so easily attacked by insects.

No doubt more people would
plant trees if they did not have to
wait so long for them to become
full size.
the reason for planting them. If they
never get full size in our life time,
they certainly will for those who
follow us, and the future genera—
tion will enjoy just what we would
like to enjoy now. But trees do
not have to grow to full size to be
appreciated. A Carolina or other
quick growing tree will furnish con-
siderable shade in seven or eight
years, and a maple or elm, eight or
ten years old, while not large
enough for much shade, will be
large enough to add materially to
the appearance of the premises. In
a drive across the country one no-
tices many farms with no trees in,

tively new house, and no trees or
shrubbery of any kind. It makes
no difference how nice the house.
or how large «the front porch—there
is something lacking about that pic-
ture which nothing but trees and
shrubs can supply. A poem “Trees”
by Joyce Kilmer appeals to me, and
for fear some of my readers may
not have read it, I am copying it
herewith.

I think that I shall never see,

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast.
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy hands to pray.
A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair.

Upon whose bosom snow has lain,
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems were made ’by fools like me,
But only God .can make a tree.

DISTILLED WATER IN BATTERY

Why is it necessary to use distill—
ed water instead of any other kind
when filling the storage battery?—
“Curious.”

RDIIN-ARY water it is known is
0 not absolutely pure. Analysis

proves that certain chemicals
are contained in it. You can prove
this to yourself by merely boiling
water in a dish until it cvompletely‘r
evaporates. A certain amount of
solid material will be found to re—
main in the dish. These chemicals
may combine with the materials
with. which storage battery plates
are coated and ruin them. Distilled
water being the condensed “steam is
absolutely pure and free from im—
purities.

‘  It 'Pay the Average Farmer

to Improve His Soil?

\ y  HIS question looms up in every
v  , one’s mind when the subject of

‘ soil fixing comes into'view. If
it were not for the fact that the

farmer is the most hopeful cuss in

the world, and in other words, the
most able to exist, on so very little
from the outside world he would be
able to grasp thesituation in much
better form.

For years he has followed in the
his forefathers doing
chiefly as they have done, regardless
or changing conditions. The view
taken by most people was that a
successful farmer was one. that

wpunched the clock at four in the

morning and ten at night, was fru-
galptilled the soil the best he knew
how, put the boys to work to keep
up the repairs, and checked in with
a good 160 and several farm mort-
gages at five per cent on farms in
the neighborhood. With these
qualifications he was deemed very
successful.

But in accumulating this fortune
he kidded himself into missing vast
amounts of fertility from his '160
or whatever he had, without any
thought of the fact that some day
his son br grandson would pay the
fiddler.

The economic condition under
which he labored was as hard as
today, no doubt, but he had a great
deal more of the soil elements so
essential to cr0p production than-
the present owner of the land. We
cannot find fault with his economy
because that is the first qualification
to enter into soil betterment today.
The second qualification is a know—
ledge of the things we need for soil
betterment- The third is the faith
needed oto apply these things and
the fourth is patience to wait for

_, the reward.

The question of does it pay is an-
swered by. the fact that it does not
pay not to do it. When 2 tons 'or
more of lime will return up to 300
per cent increase in clover in a
short period of a year and when
200 pounds of acid phosphate will
ripen corn in most cases one to two
weeks earlier and increase the yield
in nearly every case in practically
every type of soil in the north cen—
tral states it is a safe bet to use
them and in reality is the keynote
of soil betterment. After they have
been applied with clover and ma—
nure. It is the cheapest of any
route. It may take some rigid
economy to get this system "started
and some weaning away from the
old ways of farming of the com-

.munity but sure as fate, clover that

goes 3 tons to the acre is the best
medicine for the doubter, yet as a
usual thing they are “die-bards”
but they all have a vunerable spot.

A dollar put back in the soil eco-
nomically is much better. than. one
invested in oil stock, a gold mine,
or many of the other gold bricks
that are ceaselessly sold to the
farmer, and in every instanc‘e Will
return more ready kale than the so-
called stock that is expected to
yield 12 per cent interest when it
is sold.

It is a fact that a yield of 10 to

  r » " ,J. .WRIGnTr.
thwfions Invited—Quatbm Answered

12 bushels of rye, 4 to 15 bushels
of wheat, 10 to 25 bushels of corn,
% ton of sorrel and timothy hay,
15 to 30 bushels of oats does not
pay the farmer to raise them and it
takes just as many furrows to plow,
as much fitting, as much or more
worry as it does the farmer that

'raises double or triple these yields

and which many are doing in a
short period of time from their first
attempt at soil betterment, regard-
less of the fact that mistakes have
been made, in the attempt. The
farmer must educate himself first
and then in turn educate the con—
sumer that it costs something be—
sides labor to raise a crop, and that
he is entitled to a‘just retarn on
his endeavors.
this 'point that when he sells a
bushel of potatoes, wheat, rye, oats,
etc., that it takes fertility from his
soil that he does not get back un-
less he makes a costly effort to do

0.

This fertility should be added to
the cost of labor in producing a
crop in the same sense as the man—
ufacturer adds the price of raw ma—
terials to his labor and overhead in
determining the price of a plow,
mower or tractor. Much can be
said pro and con in regard to this
fact remains that any man if he has
the grit, ambition, faith and pa-
tience can improve his soil at the
present time and can make a good
rate of interest on his money while
he is doing it.

If he remembers that lime is the
first essential, a liberal use of phos—
phate, makes the best use of his
farm manure and when he gets so
he can raise clover, plow down eith-
er the first cutting or else the seed
crop, he is on the economical road
to better crop production and also
remember that when he has a tan—
gled mess of anything on his land
plow it under by all means and not
burn it off as some farmers do so
that they won’t have to get off the
plow to get the rash out of the
jointer once in a while. It is a
little harder to plow it in under but
it pays better than to burn it off
and ride easy on the plow seat.

HUBAM CLOVER
I have been contemplating seed-
ing about ten acres to Hubam
clover. Will you kindly advise me
what to expect from Hubam clover
as a one year crop?—~H. 1)., Beav—
erton, Mich.

UBAM clover has not proven

very successful under Michigan

conditions exoept in those sec—
tions Where it is used as a green
manure crop"to precede sugar beets.
It produces about the same amount
of growth as the biennial white clov—
er produces the first season. The
root growth of Hubam is consider—
able less than that of biennial white.
Hubam is an excellest send producer,
however, there is not a heavy de—
mand for the seed.

The biennial white sweet clover is
gaining very rapidly in favor as a
pasture and soil improvement crop.

(Continued from June 6 issue.)

HE police and hospital attendants, he

had learned. had no suspicions of any-

thingbut that he had been the victim
of one of the footpads who, during that
month, had been attacking and robbing
nightly. Sherrill, who had visited him
about two o’clock had showed that he sus-
pected no other possibility. Alan colud
not prove otherwise; he had not seen his
assailant’s face: it' was not probable that
if he had seen it, he would not have recog-
nized it But the man who had assailed
him had meant to kell; he had not been
any ordinary robber. Tha urpose. blind-
ly recognized and fought against by Alan
in their struggle, had been unmistakable.
Only the chance presence of passers—by.
who had heard Alan’s shouts and respond-
ed to them, had prevented the execution
of his purpose, and had driven the man
to swift flight for his own saftey.

Alan had believed, in his struggle with

in Corvet’s library, that Spear-
man might have killed rather than have
been discovered there. Were there others
to whom Alan’s presence had become a
threat so serious that they would proceed
even to the length of calculated murder?
He could not know that. The only safe
plan was to assume that persons, in
number unknown, had definite, vital in-
terest in his “removal” by violence or
otherwise, and that, among them, he must
reckon Henry Spearman; and he must
fight them alone. For Sherrill's interest
and sympathy were nullified in practical
intent by their admiration for and their
complete confidence in Spearman. It did
not matter that Alan night believe that, in
fighting Spearman, he was fighting not
only for himself but for her; he know
now certainly that he must count her as
Spearman's; her! Things swam before
him again dizzily as he thought of her;
and he sank back and closed his eyes.

A little before six Constance Sherrill
and Spea'man call d to inquire after him
and were admitted for a few moments to
his room. She came to him, bent over
him, while she spoke the few words of
sympathy the nurse allowed to her; she
stood back then while Spearman spoke to
him. In the succeeding days, he saw her
nearly every day, accompanied always by
her lather or Spearman; it was the full
two weeks the nurse had allotted for his
remaining in the hospital before he saw
her alone.

They had brought him borne, the day
before—she and her father, in the motor
-—-to the house on Astor Street. He had
insisted on returning there, refusing the
room in their house they had offered; but
the doctor had enjoined outdoors and
moderate exercise for him, and she had
made him promise to come and walk with
her He went to the Sherrill house about
tmi o'clock, and they walked northward
toward the park.

It was a mild, sunny morning with
warm wind from the south, which sucked
up the last patches of snow from the
lawns and dried the tiny trickles of water
across the walks Looking to the land,
one might say that spring soon would be
on the way; but, looking to the lake, mid-
winter held. The coxmterscrap uf con-
crete, beyond the withered sod that edged
the Drive, was sheathed in ice; the frozen
spray~hu1nmodts b‘eyond steamed in the
sun; and out as far as one could see,
fioes floated close together, exposing only
here and there a bit of blue. Wind, cold
and chilling, waited oi! this ice field. tak-
ing the warm south breeze upon its flanks.

Glancing up at her companion from
time to time, Constance saw cola;
misfits a; face, and he stress beside
her quite steadily. Whatever was his in-
heritance, his certainly were stamina and
vitality; a little less—or a dissipation of
them-—and he might not have recovered
at all, much less have leaped back to
strength as he had done. For since yes-
terday, the langour which had held him
was gone.

They halted a minute near the south
entrance of the park at the St. Gauden’s
"Lincoln," which he had not previously
seen. The gaunt, sad figure of the “rail-
splitter" in his ill—fitting clothes, seemed
to recall something to him; tor he glanced
swiftly at her as they turned away.

“Miss Sheri-ill," he asked, “have you
ever stayed out in the 00011117?

“I go to northern Michigan, “D by the
straits, almost every summer for part of
the time, at least: and once in a while
we open the house in winter too tor a
week or so. It’s quite wild—trees and
sand and shore and the water. I‘ve had
some of my best tines up there."

“You‘ve never been out on the plains?"

"Just to pass over them on the train
on the way to the coast."

“That wouldbe in winteror in spring;

"We cut paths through the sunflowers
witha corn knife." Alan continued, not
looking at her, "and built houses in them
by twining the cut stalks in and out
among those still standing. I‘d wondered.
you see, what you must have been like
when you were a little girl, so, I suppose,
when I was delirious, I saw you that
way." .

She had looked up at him a little ap-
prehensively, afraid that he was going to
say something more; but his look ro-
assured her.

"rhen that," she hazarded, “must have
been how the hospital people learned our
name. I’d wondered about that; they
said you were unconscious first, and then
delirious and when you spoke you said,
among other names, mine—Connie and
Sherrill."

He colored and glanced away. "I
thought they might have mid you that,
so I wanted you to know. ‘They say that
in a dream, or in delirium, after your
brain establishes the first absurdity—like
your playing out among the stmflowers
with me when we were little—everything
else is consistent. I wouldn’t call a little
girl ‘Miss Sherrill,’ of course. Ever since
I’ve known you, I couldn't help thinking
a great deal about you; you’re not like
any one I‘vo ever known. But I didn‘t
want you to think I thought of you—
familiarly."

"I speak of you always as Alan to

father,” she said.
' He was silent for a moment. “They
lasted hardly for a day—those stmfiower
houses, Miss Sherrill,” he said quietly.
“They withered almost as soon as they
were made. Castles in Kansas, one might
say! No one could live in them.”

Apprehensively again, she colored. He
had recalled to her without meaning to
do so, she thought. that he had seen her in
Spearman’s arms; she was quite sure that
rewllection of thisvwas in his mind. But
in spite of this——or rather, exactly be-
cause of it—she understood that he had
formed his own impression of the relation
between Henry and herself and that, con-
sequently, he was not likely to say any—
thing more like this.

They had walked east, across the damp,
dead turf to where" the Drive leaves the
shore and is built out into the lake; as
they crossed to it on the smooth ice of
the lagoon between, he took her arm to
steady her.

“There is something I have been want-
ing to ask you,” she said.

“That night when you were hurt—it

thinkaboutit?" Shewatchedhimashe
looked at her and then away: but his
face was completely expressionless.

“The proceedings were a little too rapid
for me to judge, Miss Sherrill.”

“But there was no demand upon you to
give over your money before you were
attacked?

She breathed a little more quickly.
"It must be a strange sensation,” she ob-
served, “to know that'some one has tried
to kill you.” _ I _. 
{gt must, indeed." ,

"You mean you don‘t think that he
tried to kill you?”

“The police captain thinks not; he says
it was the work of a man now to the

than he needed. He says that sort are
the dangerous ones—that one’s quite safe

bdfore. He almost made it into an argu-
ment for leaving the trained artists loose

to boysenly half eduaited."

"What do you think about the man
yourself?" (instance persiswd.

“The apprmtice who practiced on me?"

She waited, watching his eyes. "I was
hardly in a condition, Miss Sherrill, to
appreciate anything about the man at
all. Why do you ask?"

"Because—" She hesitated an instant,
“if you were attacked to be killed, it

were coached to fight, and to resist
even unto blood! And it is this
blood cost than many are prone to
calculate as they sirew the flowers
on the graves of those who fell in
a violent, but patriotic adventure.
But our text has a much largen.
meaning. And as we are lingering
in the memory of Memorial Day and
anticipating the spirit of Indepen-
dence Day, we might do well to es-
cape the multitudes and hear the in-

: vitatlon of Jesus, “Come ye your-

selves apart and rest awhile.” This
often is good holiday ethics. Now,

If "away from the maddening crowd"

we are the more able to consider
the larger and the moral meaning
of our lesson.

For our historical setting, we
have the experience of those moral
heroes whose faith resistance was
pure. strong, and constant even to
the price of blood. We are encom-
passed about with a great cloud of
witnesses, “of whom the world was
not worthy." “These all died in
faith, not having received the prom-
ises.” With freedom from such per-
secution and with the promises
upon us and around us (for the
Kingdom unto which they looked
is now at hand), how faithfully and
sacrificiale ought we to live! We
have not yet resisted unto blood.

But, have we not?
those thousands of known and un-
known dead that sleep in Arlington
cemetery and in Southern graves?
Had they received the promise of
ms: sacrifice? And those ten mil-
lionfallenwhofoughtinthegreat
world Armageddon? Had they re—
ceived the fruits of their faith and
devotion? And then those impris—
oned, and those tortured with more
than savage ingenuity, in order
that our homes, our lives, and our
rights might be made secure? What
did their sacrifice redeem? We
were told that tiny all were fight-
ing for fertile soil in which to grow
the. fruits of peace. Was this a de-
lusion? Many of us feel that way.
But our hearts are fired to go on to
match their heroic sacrifice in peace
contributions to the cause of right-
eousness. “War is not inevitable.
It is the supreme enemy of the hu-
man race. Its futility is beyond
question. Its continuance is the
suicide of civilization. The world
is war-weary and is now open to a
crusade for peace.” (Methodist
Episcopal General Conference for
1934). Evermore, our work is to

y strive against this great
sin. And that we wax not weary,
we are to consider Him who paid
the last full measure of devotion in
blood.

Ours is a life of continual opposi-
tion as we run our race “with pa-
tience." It is a life of continual
resistance, an encounter against
sin. However much the Christian
life is “the heavenlies” of St. Paul
or “the green pastures" and "the
still raters” of the psalmist: how-
ever much we joy in the rest, com-
mrt, and rapture of the Christian
experience and “of a. cup that run-
Dfith OVEI”: know this, that this is
only half of Christian living. Con-

lslder Him, “Who in the days of

,“I want the best food and equip-
ment yen can send over,” said Per-
shing to Uncle Sam. Certainly, the
boys had to have this to do their
best fighting. Consider that God is
sustaining us day by day that, with
happy abandon, we might fling our—
selves into the battle for righteous—-
ness in the earth.

We are striving against sin; the
sin that is coaching at our door.
Our first encounter is on the home
field. That field is often unculfi-
vated, wild and barren. One day
we are out taking a walk with our-
selves, and there, concealed by our
pathway, we find a nest of snakes;
lust, greed, gossiping, talebearing,
and sheer indifference. We are
alarmed at their horrid hisses. And
we should be, for sin is. conceiving
to the bringing forth of death. No,
we can’t cover it up with garb or
pretension. But, considering Him,
we can rid ourselves of the fangs
of the vipers through “strong crying
and tears.” This is our first chal-
lenge to worthy mettle in a world
conflict in behalf of righteousness.
It is the “acid test” but the only
proved way to qualify as soldiers
of the Cross.

We are striving against sin. So
are we against influenza and pneu—
monia. We take every precaution.
We watch our contacts. And right
here is where the careless and the
fearful fall. Forty new graves in
Willow cemetery this winter. But,
death through sin is abroad. World-
liness takes many forms and is a
canny spirit. Infection is sure un-
less we set ourselves

  
 

  
 

    

 

tirelessly ;

against it. But it is our thrilling I

pleasure to do so, and to strike
hard in a world opposed to Christ.
We have not yet resisted unto blood.

But all this is negative living.

l

The most successful warrior is he 5

who sets himself in a positive effort
for good. Much of life is out of

keeping with the spirit and ethics ‘

,of Christ. The civilized govern—
ments of the world base much of
constitutional law on the Decalog,
received on old Sanai; but the
Sermon on the Mount or new Sanai
is meant to fulfil and to replace the;
old. We have here the principles
of Christianity to be applied. When
these principles will have been writ—
ten into the laWs of our land, the
Kingdom of Peace will have come
upon earth. Some folks are saying
“Thy will be done on earth”, but
they do not become real soldiers
until they valiantly strive for it.
The false theories of life must be
exploded, and God promised that
the spirit of Pentecost would be
the explosive. But if the writer
can interpret history Spiritually, he
is saying that the church has spent
power of a crucified Christ, the
Whfle giving the world the dead
husks of tradition.

May God help us to see! Well,

'weareseeingabit,butitistaking

the red blood of some of the world’s
finest sons to wash the scales from
our eyes. This preacher may be
mistaken. if so we are erring on the
side of faith. Methinks we are be-
ginning to make a real study of hu-
man problems with the purpose of
striving to apply the law of Christ.
Since the days of our great war
executive, Woodrow Wilson, our
presidents have had the vision of
seers and the faith of prophets.
They have not ceased to declare for
a set of principles that bids fair to
become the Magna Charta of politi-
cal and social righteousness in the
earth. At the same'time propagan-
dists talk about “the next war”.
And how be it, naval
maneuvers will help to cause it.
How much are we striving against
this false and menacing policy? We
have a right to hope much from
what President Coolidge has called
his .“new policy." It is to be a. pol-
icy of “friendship and understand-

TO STUDY MICHIGAN BEAN MARKET

ICHIGAN bean prices in the terminal mar-
kets and the practices of the bean dealers
are to be studied comprehensively in the

near fuutre by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco:-
nomics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
according to reports from a reliable source. It
seems that the meeting at Lansing in April,
brought out information that caused the Depart—
ment to see a need to study the Michigan market.
L. E. Tenny, chairman of the Lansing meeting,
told those present that the Department had found
the opposition strongest where federal grades
were needed the most. The opposition was very
strong at Lansing.

There is a wide difference in the price of Mich-
igan beans and beans from other states and if the
Department can uncover. the reason for this, they
will be doing a wonderful service for the bean
growers of Michigan. E. W. Wheeler, in charge
of the hay, feed and seed division of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, is of the opinion that
the survey will reveal this information.

“Our plans include the compilation of whole-
sale prices by varieties at large terminal markets
over a period of years," said Mr. Wheeler. “It is
thought these prices will show some things that
have not heretofore been brought to light.

“It is true they will not accurately reflect the
price paid farmers, but when we take into con-
sideration the differences between freight rates
from the various producing sections to the same
terminal market in which prices may be quoted
we will have a fairly accurate basis for farm
prices of a particular variety or class of beans.

“I am confident the statement indicating $5,-
000,000 loss to Michigan bean growers based on
the difference in price received for Michigan and
California small whites is not exaggerated."

We are glad this study is to be made and be-
lieve much interesting information will be re-
vealed.

“ASK THE WIFE"

our May 23rd issue we published an editorial
IN about a young man, married, and holding a

good job in the city, who was considering
leaving the city and buying a farm, and we asked
for comments. In a letter appearing on page 17
of this issue a farm woman suggests “Ask the
wife".

Yes, he should ask his wife, and then the two
of them decide what they want to do. If she
likes to live on a farm and is willing to get along
without many of the modern conveniences that
she has become used to in the city, and she he-
lives that he will make good at farming she will
undoubtedly say "Yes". If she is tired of living
in a small city apartment. breathing smoke-filled
air, and going to the corner grocery for every
mouthful they have to eat, she will approve of
the idea.

It is true that they would have to give up
may or most of the modern conveniences, if
they have little to pay down on a farm. and per-

haps they could not word a radio, or attend the

movies, very often. But there are certain things
about'farm life that are to he desired over any-

  that the city has to offer. The most preci-
‘ as: advantage is the testing of partnership and
.‘oompanionship. In the at! People 870W apart

show when

and can  outgofgdbofs'; 

   

ily. not only in name but in reality. They have

an opportunity to really know each other. They 7

become partners in .the business.

Yes, the young man should ask his wife. She
should not only be his partner inmarriage but
in business as well. She should have her share
and instead of everything being "his" it should
be “ours”. Let's hear from some of the other
readers. -

Toomvmn'msr

00 many people on farms results in an excess
of farm products sold at unremunerative
prices, which in turn has a tendency to hold

down the standard of living in the country and‘

blight the lives of the growing boys and girls on
the farms, declares Dr. H. C. Taylor, chief of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United States

Department of Agriculture. —‘

“When the movement from country to city goes
on at a sumciently rapid rate there will not be a
surplus of farmers and, one year with another,
farm prices will be adequate to maintain the de-
sired standardof living on farms in rural com.-
munities.

"Unless farmers/insist upon a satisfactory stan-
dard of living and withdraw from agriculture
when they are not able to maintain this living
standard, prices for farm products adequate to
provide such a standard of living cannot be hoped
for.

“In 1820 approximately 87 per cent of those
engaged in gainful occupations in the United
States were in agriculture. The percentage en-
gaged in agriculture in 1920 was 26. This move-
ment of country to city went on gradually
throughout one hundred years, but between 1910
and 1920 the movement was more rapid than in
any period since 1870.

“The proportion of those gainfully occupied
who are engaged in agriculture will doubtless be
further reduced in the United States. but even
when final perfection has been reached in the
form of labor saving machinery there will con—
tinue to be a movement of population from coun-
try to city as long as the birth rate in the coun-
try is higher than in the cities.

“This movement, within proper limits, should
be looked upon as desirable. Without the move-
ment from country to city we would have entire-
ly too many people engaged in agriculture and
farm prices would be even lower than they are.
Cities would be lacking labor and the disparity
between the purchasing power of farm products
and other products would be even worse than it
has been in recent years.

“The danger in the movement is that the pro-
cess will be selective, taking the best stock from
the rural community and leaving the weaker
elements of the population on the farms to the
detriment not only of agriculture, but of the Na-
tion as a whole. The movement should operate in
such a way as to leave in the country those ele-
ments of our rural population best suited to an
efficient type of farming, a higher standard of
living on the farm and in the rural community.
and a standard of rural citizenship commensurate
with the needs of our democracy.” ,

We don’t believe the surplus of farmers will
be again felt in our generation. There is in Mich-
igan, at least, a normal and healthy return to the
farms of some of the good farmers and farmers'
sons who left during the depression to find city
employment, but we do not believe Dr. Taylor
need be alarmed about it. It looks mighty good
to us to see 'em back again! ‘

HE enemies of the gasoline tax in Michigan
received a bad blow recently when figures

‘ were released that indicated the total not re-
ceipts for 1925 would be around $2,000,000 more

'than was expected.

For the month of February, the first one after

the gas tax went into street, the total amount ‘

collected was $404,000, and for March it was
$507,000. For April it jumped to $707,807.
Figures for May are not yet available but Score:
tary of State DeLand pudch that it would run
around $800,000, while June, July and August
are expected to average close to.$1,000,000 a

month. On the basis of such a return onciais _

predict a total of about $8,000,000. by January
1, 1080. Originally the tax for this year was es-
timated at $6,000,000. _’ I »

' STUDYING THE STYLES

the current issue of a southern farm paper

we read s. short article about a Texas farmer

who said “I have been studying the fashion
plates for the past four months and I am planting
no cotton this year. When women are putting
the kibosh on cotton goods there is no reason
to increase the cotton acreage."

That Texas farmer is a businessman and he is
bound to make money even when conditions are
not the best, because he studies the market and
the conditions governing it. A worthy example
for all farmers to follow.

The farmer who has a flock of sheep should

study the styles, learn as much as he can about §
the condition of the clothing market, find out .

how people are buying, whether there is a good

demand for wool clothingor if people are buy— a

ing sparingly. The grain grower should study

crop reports of not only this country. but others ‘
where the same crops are produced and consum- ;
ed. Will there be a shortage of grain in those ,
countries or will they have some to export in com— .

petition with American grain? Are they carry—
ing a surplus over from the year before, or are
they turning to other grains because they can-
not afford to pay prevailing prices?
weather conditions favorable for good crops?

Aretha:

To make a success of any business one must use ‘
their head as well as their hands, and the more '
you use your head the less your hands will have .1

to do.

the statements in their advertising

you would not question but what a
man of seventy-five could take a

young man of twenty-live. A real

to work these miracles consisted of

TEE “GAS” ATTACK

“WANTED—An established
company, building chain of gas-

services of energetic workers as
station managers, with assured
opportunities for advancement;
experience in this line desirable
but not necessary; cash deposit
of $1,500 required. which
amount will be perfectly secur-
ed. This is an opportunity and
will stand investigation. Ad-
dress Box 3382, care news-

E SURE that you investigate
thoroughly beiore you invest in
such a proposition. We knew

of one man placing $1.500. his life
savings. in the hands oi the promot-
ers of one of these companies with
the understanding that his money
was fully secured. Suddenly the
company quietly left town leaving
no forwarding address and the man,
along with many others. discovered
that the company’s statements were
untrue, and the obligations were
backed by- no tangible assets what-
ever. Aiso it was found that the
officials of the company were trick-
sters, with long. unsavory records
elsewhere.

He didn’t investigate before he
invested! ‘ ‘

_ BLEACH OUT THE STAIN

HEN a stain on white material

will not yield to soap and wa-

ter, the housewife can turn to
no better chemical bleach than Ja-
velle water. It may be used suc-
cessfully for removing stains from
uncolored cotton or linen materials
by stretching the stained part over
a bowl filled with water and apply-
ing the bleach with a medicine drop—
per. Javelle water should not be
left on the fabric for more than a
minute and should be neutralized at
the end of that time by a solution
of oxalic acid, and then rinsed by
dipping in the bowl of water. This
may be repeated if the stain does
not disappear on one application.
Garments may be bleached by put-
ting them in a mixture of equal

parts of Javelle water and cold wa— .

ter for not more than half an hour.
They should then be rinsed in sev-
eral waters and lastly in dilute am-
monia water. Javelle water should
be applied only to uncolored cotton
or linen materials as it bleaches
colors and rots silk or wool. Ja-
velle water may be prepared by put-
- ting one pound of washing soda in
la granite pan and stirring in one
,quart of boiling water until it is
dissolved. While this is cooling,
disolve half a pound of chloride of
.{lime in two quarts cold water and
,let it settle. Pour the clear liquid
finto the soda and let settle again,
, then pour off the clear liquid, bottle
it, and put it away in a dark.
INSECTS DAMAGE HOUSE
. PLANTS
- OUSEWIVES often find such inv
sects as plant lice, mealy bugs,
white flies, and scale insects,
-seriously damaging plants in the
. home. The plants can be treated to
eliminate the insects.

Plant lice are the small green,
black, or brown insects which suck
their food from plants. Black leaf
40, a nicotine preparation, is the
best spray to use on them, Ford
says. It is made by diluting from
one to two teaspoonfuls of the con-
centrated solution and a small
amount of laundry soap in each
gallon of soft water to be used. It
may be applied by spraying over the
entire plant, or the plant may be
actually dipped into a pail of the
solution. '

Mealy bugs, another of the pests
affecting house plants, are easily
recognized by their district white
powdery appearance. Nicotine ole—
ate will control this pest very satis-
factorily. The solution dissolves
the waxy powder which the insect
secretes ,allowing the nicotine to
come in direct contact with the pest.
The nicotine oleate can be made by
mixing 10 parts of 40 per cent free
nicotine with 7 parts of oloic acid.
Two tablespoonsful of the resulting
thick salve is used in each gallon of
soft water. The plants are then
treated by thoroughly spraying or
by dipping the entire plant in the
solution.

floury appearance. The adult, four-
winged fly, about one—sixteenth inch
in length, sucks the juices from the
foliage of house plants, causing
them to turn yellow and die.

Of the scale insects, there are two
kinds, those With a soft and those
with a hard shell. Both cause con-
siderable injury to house plants,
especially ferns. The soft-shelled
insects can be controlled by a spray
or dip of nicotine oleate. as in the
case of the mealy hugs; the hard
shelled scale insects are controlled
only by pruning out and burning
the infested portions of the plant.

Angle worms also often trouble
potted house plants. When the
worms are present in the pots in
serious numbers a liberal applica-
tion of lime on the surface of the
soil in each pot, followed by a heavy
watering of the plants, will bring
the worms to the surface, where
they may be easily removed.

At times, sow bugs become a seri-
ous household pest, especially in
dark, damp places, such as base-
ments. They can be poisoned with
a bait made by mixing one ounce of
Paris green thoroughly with one
quart of wheat bran or by mixing
tWo parts of flour and one part of
Paris green. One—half cup of syrup
diluted in one quart of water should
be used to moisten either the flour
or the bran mixture. The bait
should then be scattered in the plac—
es frequented by the pest.

INNER TUBE BUGS
AKE a frame from lumber one
by three the size that the rug
is to be when finished. The
small iron clamps purchased from
.the store hold the frames in place.
Cut the tubes in strips any desired
width (one inch being very good
width. Tack strips to frames as
close together as possible. If the
strips are not long enough, they

may be spliced by riveting or ce-
menting with the cement that is
used to patch tubes in their first
use. (The cement makes a flatter
rug). When frame has been filled
with the strips, interweave with
more strips until filled, The ends
of the rug may be riveted or cement-
ed, cement being better. Designs
may be worked out in colors by us-
ing the white, red or black tubes.
These rugs are especially good to
use in front of the sink or stove.

CHEESE MAKING
HEESE making is something that
should be taken up by every farmer's
‘ wife, especially those who have a
family liking cheese. Home—made cheese
can always be fresh and is very delicious.
It is inexpensive to make, taking from one
gallon to one and a half gallons of milk
to the pound. The better the milk tests
the less it takes to the pound.

The directions are as follows: The pro-
gress of making cheese is not very dif-
ficult, but takes about six hours.

To begin with, a person needs a boiler,
a dairy thermometer, long bladed knife,
a lard press, strainer, cheese cloth for
bandages, unbleached muslin, two tablets
cheese coloring and Salt.

The milk should be cooled before using.
It takes ten gallons.

Put the milk in the boiler and place
on the stove and bring the temperature
to 86 degrees Farhenheit.

Dissolve Coloring Thoroughly

Take one—half tablet of coloring and
dissolve in three tablespoonfuls of cold
water and be sure it is thoroughly dis—
solved. Also dissolve one No. 2 Hansen

rennet tablet in one—half glsss of cold

water. _

Stir the coloring in the milk thoroughly.
Stir the milk as rennet is being added
and mix Well. Remove to hack of stove,
placing cover over milk so the surface
does not cool and do not disturb.

The next step is the cutting of the curd.
After twenty or thirty minutes, the milk
will have formed a solid curd. This curd
is ready to cut when it will make a
clean break over the index finger inserted
in the curd at an angle of 45 degrees.
The curd must not be soft enough to

Hot Weather Hints For Baby Care

AST year over 300 babies died
in Detroit from diarrhea and
enteritis during the summer

months, according to the Depart-
ment of Health, and the department
has issued six rules that it believes
mothers should observe during hot
days. The rules are as follows:

1. Nurse your baby. Do not wean
without the consent of your doc-
tor. If bottle fed, keep feedings
covered and on ice. Do not give ice
cream, unripe, or too ripe fruit to
young children, and do not allow
them to eat between meals. Chil-
dren require only three-fourths as
much food‘in 'hot weather as in cool
weather.

2. Water: Give baby all he will
take between feedings. Do not give
water for three-fourths of an hour
before feeding time. Give baby cool
boiled water.

3. Clothing: In hot weather a
diaper and thin shirt are enough.
If very hot leave oi! the shirt.
Dress the baby according to the
temperature. Don’t use , enough
clothes to make the baby perspire.
Use white clothes.

4. Bathing: Bathe the baby
once a day. In hot weather give
the baby a co sponge bath two or
three times a ay. If he has prick-
‘ly heat include baking soda and

corn starch in the bath water, one
teaspoon of baking soda and one
dessert spoon of corn starch to one
quart of water. Clean hands and
face help keep the food clean.

5. Sleeping. Have the baby
sleep out of doors as much as possi-
ble, protecting him from the direct
sun and extreme heat. Do not use
heavy materials, as curtains, etc.,
to cover or shade the baby—they
exclude air. Protect him from flies
by «covering carriage or crib with
white mosquito netting. Don’t pile
on extra blankets unless the weather
turns cold—the babies covers should
be no warmer than yours.

6. Summer Diarrhea: At first
symptoms of diarrhea stop all feed-
ing.. Give as. much cool boiled wa-
ter as baby will take, offering water
every 15 or «20 minutes. A baby
loses water very rapidly with a diar-
rhea and needs immense quantities
to replace this loss. Consult your
doctor at once. If you can get in
touch with him early he can easily
check a simple diarrhea. Later he
may be able to help but little. Keep
your baby clean, cool, and comfort-
able. Oastor oil may be given once
in the earliest stages. Later it may
be dangerous. Ask your doctor for
advice—he is your responsible ad-

Cure Takes Several Weeks

Dip the whey of! into your separator
tank; be sure to warm the tank to the
temperature of your curd. Then put your
card into the tank also. Do not handle
roughly. Let all the whey drain ad from
the curd. _

Place the curd near the stove to keep
the temperature at 80 degrees. Salt ‘ is
added at the rate of three ounces for
eachtenpoundsofcurd,ortengallom
It should be added in three ap-
plications. '

As soon as the salt is dissolved or in
twenty or thirty minutes, the curd should
be placed in the press, which is lined
with cheese cloth.

When the curd is all in the mold, start
to press it. The pressure should be- light V
for the first few ‘minutes, but
increased until the curd is forced into a
solid mass.

Take the cheese out in a half hour and ,
straighten the bandage. Return to press
and leave until the next day.

It requires several weeks to cure the ,
cheese before using. It should be kept In ‘
a temperature from 60 to 70 degrees. It ;
should be turned every day for the first ’.
week. After that. it needs to be turned ‘
occasionally. At the end of the first w ’\
put a coat of paraffine on it. It shoul
then set for five more weeks when it ll
ready for use.——Mrs. E. R.

EAR girls and boys: At last I
can print a.picture of myself;
in fact, I am printing three dif-
ferent pictures of . myself on our
page this time. ow which do you
think is the best , eness?

, I did not realize you had so many
dittuentjd ‘ as to how I looked
until retarte "the finely}: contest,
and then I soon found out, Ayes:
pictured from a young "dude".to"an
old and wrinkled man; some
thought I had beautiful curly hair,
while others saw me as .a fat jolly
follow. I wish you could have seen
all of them. ‘

After studying all the drawings
carefully I decided the one by Rus-
sell Carter, of Midldeville, was the
best, and in his picture my friend,
Mr. Waste Basket, looks very na-
tural. Second place went to Ruby
Minard, of Sandusky; third, to Hel-
en Kinnison, Kalkaska; fourth, Nor—
man Ludlow, Albion; fifth, Marion
Baumgras, Lansing. A drawing by
Fern Dennis, of Balding, was the
first one received at my» oflice alter
the announcing of the contest. The
drawings that won the first three
prizes are shown on our page, and
I would like to print all that I re-
ceived, but space will not permit. /

What kind of a contest shall we
have next? Write and tell me right
away so that I can announce one in
our July 4th issue—UNCLE NED.

 

 

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS,

 

 

 

 

Russell Carter, of Middlevillc, won first
prize in our drawing contest with his car-
toon of Uncle Ned.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have written once
before but thought I would write again.
I am eleven years old and am in the Sixth
grade at school. I have bobbed hair and
wear knickers around home and at school.
For pom I have two cats and a dog. One
of the cats liked to go up to the attic
window and then get in. We had a screen
frame on the outside of the window, then
she would get up on this frame and jump
up to the attic window and go in. Finally
we took the frame of: and just left a

‘ board about two feet square on the sill

of the lower window, then she would jump
from this board and up to the top of
the window and from there to the attic
window and then go in. Now we have a.
glass in the attic window so the cat can-
not got in. My she was surprised when
she found out she could not get in. I
will tell you some more about my eat
some other time. I go to school every day
that I can. I love school. I go to a
county school and there We have all of
the grades exoept the fifth and eighth.
When I get through high school I am
going to be a woman hone-trainer.

Say Evelyn Slunyok how did you out
that glass win the shears? I‘wOuld like
to know it you would just as soon tell me.
Well I must close tor momma wants me
to set the table. I would sign my nick-
name but you would think I was a boy
so I will write my whole name. Your
niece—Leona V. Stofllet, 32, Scotts, Mich.

 

Dear Uncle Ned:——I have never written
to you before but after so many inter-
esting letters I will write. I will describe
myself. I have’brown hair, am five feet.
three inches in height and weigh ninety-
ilve pounds. I am thirteen years old.
live on a: two hundred forty acre farm.
I milk four cows, at night and in the
morning before I go to school. I am in
the sixth grade and walk two miles to
school. We have 11 cows.‘4 horses, 10
pigs, -1 doggand some chickens and tur-
keys. I have two sisters and two brothers.
Their names are Mary, Elizabeth, Michael
and Adolph. I hope Mr. Waste Basket

couldn’t tell them apart. Good night—-

” -'WALS"B0'I‘H ’NAME AND PUR—

_ POSE CHANGED?

EAR EDITOR: I have been
a waiting patiently for some

word from the farmers of Mich-

igan expressing their attitude
toward the recent change of name
of Michigan Agricultural College.
Not that any good can be expected
to come from an expression from the
farmers. They were not consulted.
When I first saw an article in the
. - daily paper that a change of name
" was being agitated, Ismiled. Was-
n’t the ‘Legislature preponderantly
rural? Recently I asked one of the
members why it was done. “The
students objected to being graduat-
ed from a cow college." Why go to
an agricultural college to get ap-
plied science?

There is the University of Mich-‘-
igan, sounds better than cow col-
lege. I have failed to see any men—
tion in the press where Pres. But-
terneld objected to this sacrilege,
in fact it has been printed that he
sponsored the move. For myself,
I feel that something has been tak—
en away from that fine institution.
That it is not primarily for the

. farmers for. whom it was originally'

founded; in fact, that the object as
well as the name has been changed.

To attract a larger attendance,
was it necessary to compete with
the U. of M.?

What if all the farmers of Michi-
gan continued to address all com—
munications to the “M. A. 0.”? I
am writing this to THE BUSINESS
FARMER because of all the journals
devoted to" agriculture in Michigan
yours is the only one in which I
noticed a voice raised in protest.—
E. E. H., Isabella County.

ASK THE WIFE

5 N editorial in the May 23rd is-
‘ sue of THE Busmnss FARMER

moves me to pass out some
advice. “Shall the young man buy a
farm and move to the country or
shall he stay in the city and con—
tinue to draw a. salary of $265.00
per month? “ He has enough money
to make a substantial payment on
the farm. Almost one third of his
salary must go yearly to pay rent
for a small apartment. He is com-
petent in both lines of work.”

Tell him to ask his wife!

The city man can make a suc-
cess of a city business with no
help from his wife. In fact it has
been demonstrated many times
that a wife in the business office is
more bother than she is worth.

But few men have ever succeeded
on the farm without a wife who is
c in complete sympathy with farm

life. The city idea of farm life has

changed completely in 20 years.

,And farm life has changed. But

the pioneer farmer is mostly work—

ing as his grandfather worked, and
the drudgery is not all gone.

The new farm will probably, for
several years at least, have no elec-

tric lights, no radio, perhaps no
bathroom, no hard-wood floors or
furnace heat. None of the so—called
.modern conveniences which are
common to the tiniest city apart—

" ment.
Mrs. Farmer may be shut in by

cold and snow two or three months
of the year. ‘She may be far from
movies”; orchestras, bridge parties,
and bargain counter sales. Even

1' ‘ Contributions? issues  

church -may be out of reach in win?

ter.

If Mrs. City-Dweller. is used to
all these things .can she be happy
during those lean years when __,the
farm is getting its‘start and the
wage earner will be earning no two
hundred and sixty-five dollars per
month. For the chances are that
he may not be earning in cold cash
more that one twelth of that for
several years.

On the other hand if the wife is
not afraid of work, and loves the
out of doors, if the changing moods
in woods and fields can give her
more enjoyment than a movie show;
if little chickens, and frisky calves,
and flowers and trees and sunsets,
and a large opportunity for service,
can give her more pleasure than
bridge parties or bargain sales, it

,..she can go half way toward making

friends with the folks on the farms
about her, then buy the farm and
get started. ,

The soner she gets started the
sooner that ,family will get out of
the beginner’s class and into the
radio class. And the sooner she
will have a home such as she can

never make out of her city apart—

ment. _
There will be lea nyears, but

there will never be hungry ones.

There will be hard work but there
need never be worry. The $265
job is entirely dependent upon a
boss. It may vanish any day. The
farm is solid earth. And the farm—
er and his wife are their own close
corporation.

If there are any children they
will want to go. They can keep a
dog. They can holler without dis—
turbing the neighbors. They can
caper and run without bumping a
motor car.

Formerly it was necessary to go
to the city to get proper schooling,
but the schools have long since
come out to the farm. The children
have nothing to lose and everything
to gain.

So ask your wife.

And then, if she hasn’t ,the nerve,
or the notion, why com-promise——get
an acre or so and commute, hold—
ing on to the big paying job as long
as may be. But that is another
story—Lulu P. Potter, Manis‘tee
County.

DON’T WANT PAPER TO STOP
EAR E‘DITOR: Find enclosed
$1.00 for two years for the
paper. We like the paper very

much and don’t want it to stop, but

it is very hard for us to haVe
much of anything as we have to pay
such big taxes. Hope this will be
in time so there will not be any
missed. Thanking you for past
good we have had and hoping it
will continue.—-——Mrs. J. H. 11., Grant,
Michigan.

THANKS!

Please let me say we take several
farm papers but one of the first ques-
tions asked is “Has the M. B. F. come?”
We want to read the Weather Forecasts
first—Philip Stewart, Clinton County.

Have been so busy did not know my
subscription had expired. Can’t get
along without the paper so send her
along—C. M. Case, Kalamazoo County,
Michigan.

Enclosing my one dollar.— Have taken
THE BUSINESS FARMER before and like
it very much. Hardly get along without

~ it.-——W. R, West Branch, Mich.

Safety at the Crossing

The increasing safety of railroad work and of railroad 
travel is strikingly shown by the records of the Safety
Bureau of the New York Central Lines.

Twelve years intensive effort by this bureau, with the Elia
active cooperation of the men of the New York Central :
Lines, has resulted in nearly a 60 per cent reduction in 
the number of casualties to employees and passengers. 1

But automobile accidents at railroad crossings have
greatly increased. Seventy per cent of these crossing
accidents occur in daylight—63 per cent in the open
country where approaching trains can easily be seen.
Last year 14 per cent of these accidents were due to
automobiles running into the side of trains, and this
percentage is increasing.

.‘A ,_

Crossing accidents could be practically eliminated if the

ANNUAL “HEREFORD HIKE"
HE Michigan Hereford Breeders'
’Association will tour the thumb

counties of the state; June 27th
to visit twenty breeders and see more
than one thousand pure bred and
high grade Herefords. Ending as it
will in Huron county on Saturday,
other breeders or points of interest
may be visited by staying over Sun-
day.

These “Hereford Hikes'! have
proven very enjoyable to Hereford
breeders and friends in the past and
indicationss._.are that the “hike” will
Hus-
bands, wives, sons and daughters all
go along to enjoy the fun and vaca-
tion, but few there are that have not
returned with enough new ideas re-
garding' the selection of cattle or
methods of handling and feeding
them to pay for the trip. Discussions
will be arranged along at different
stops to point out things that the
casual observer might miss, but what
better way is there of learning prac-
tical management than to see and
talk matters over informally with
practical breeders in the friendly
group that always attends these
tours? Any one interested in better
beef cattle is invited to join the tour
at any point.

HOISHHN BEEN HAVE

CONVENTION
NE of the most fruitful and
most representative conven-

tions of The Holstein-Friesian
Association of America was con-
cluded June 3rd at Grand Rapids by
the unanimous re-election of Ex-
Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illi-
nois, as president, and the selection
of Des Moines, Iowa, as the 1926
convention city.

Authorization to outline a three-
year program for marketing Hol-
stein milk throughout the country
where such help is requested was
given the Board of Directors by the
delegates. It permits the expendi-
ture of not to exceed $50,000 a
year for this purpose, without limit-
ing in any way the other activities
of the Extension Service.

Representation Amured

More unity between state associ-
ation and the national association
and a greater general interest in the
manual convention of the latter is
assured by a. new rule which gives
the president of organized state as-
sociations the power to name dele-

regular election. In unorganized
states the chairman of the executive
committee of the national associa-
tion is given similar power.
Bow Rule Afflicting Blossom Fund
1 'The reserve fund can now be
drawn upon by a three-fourths vote
of the. Board of Directors instead of
by unanimous consent, according to
the lay-law as amended.

A resolution relating to the ad-
visability at changing the seat of in:

  

corporation from New York State
to some other state met with favor-
able reaction. The president was
authorized to head and name a com-'
mittee of five to prepare an amend-
ment to this effect to the the by-
law covering this subject.
Two Changes in Directo'rshlp

Harold Stimson, of Washington,
and Mrs. Ruth McCormick, of Illi-
nois, were the only new directors
elected. Mrs. McCormick succeeds
George A. Fox, of Illinois, who do-
clined to stand for re-election. The
directors unanimously re-elected are
D. B. Armstrong, New York; Fred
Pabst, Wisconsin; and Prof. T. E.
Elder, Massachusetts. L; M. Thomp- '
son, Pennsylvania, was again named
vice president.

Membership Climbs

Membership was granted to 1,689
applicants in 1924, making a total '
enrollment now of 25,040. The
states making the highest gains in
membership last year are Wiscon-
sin with 278; New York, 192; Min-
nesota, 175; Michigan, 143; Penn-
sylvania, 137, and Ohio, 121.

Many Fairs Added

Special prize awards amounting
to $21,115.23 were paid at 55 fairs
and expositions last season.

'Aseociat'Mn Financially Strong

Despite a decrease in revenue
during the past year the Association
remains in a strong financial condi-
tion with a surplus of $36,349 and
a. reserve fund of $325,673.76, ac-
cording to the reports of the treas—
urer and the finance committee.

The Annual Sale

Fifty-nine head of the best Hol-
stein cattle in America were sold at
an average price of $763, consider—
ably higher than the average of any
similar sale in recent years, at the
sixth national consignment sale held
at Grand Rapids June 4th under the
direction of the Holstein—F‘riesian
Association of America. The high
average price was the more notable
in consideration of the fact that
there were no exceptionally high in-
dividual sales. The total of all
sales was $44,250.

The high sale of the day was the
transfer of King Rose Ormsby. six
months old bull entered by Har-
grove and Arnold of Norwalk, Ohio.
to H. B. Ainger, Jr., of Northville,
Mich. The price paid was $3,700.
This calf is considered a nexcellent
prospect for senior bull calf honors
at the fall shows. He is the only
son of King Pietertje Ormsby Piebe,
backed by two 1,200 pound mater-
nal dains.

Miss Aggie Johanna Mercedes, a
thirty pound cow bred last October
to Sir Inka May, $12,000 bull, con-
signed by the Minnesota Holstein
Company of Austin, Minn, sold to

C. Goodhne of the Raymondan
stock farms, Vandeuil, Quebec, for
$2,800.

One of the heaviest buyers of the
day was Joseph S. Brewer of Grand
Rapids. His purchases totalled $6.--
875 and included two of the highest
sales of the day.

Mary Lee Walker, 3. 1,000 pound
two year old daughter of a 31
pound heifer, owned by J. L. vsebas-
tion of Wasco, Calit, was sold to
Billiwhack stock farms of Santa.
Paula, Calif. The price was $475-

First Annual Consignment

Sale of Michigan Guernseys was.

held at the Michigan State Cob-
lege on May 27th. This was the first
state-wide consignment sale to be.
held under the auspices of the Mich;-

Upwards of 600 interested people at-
tended the sale.

The forty-seven head, more than
half of which were heifers and calves.
sold for a total of $10,295—an W
age of $219.04. The top price of”. the
sale was received for the cow, Betty
Golden of Endicott Farm 9107 and
was consigned by John Endicott of .
Bimingham. She‘wos purchased by
Harry J. Kruse of Armada for $405.

The bidding was very brisk. The

THE IGNORANCE OF THE HAW

made or plowed around the area
wherein said fire is set.

When this bill which was sponsor-
ed by northern Michigan interests
came up for its final passage in the
Senate on the last day of the session,
it was bitterly opposed by Senator
Norman B. Horton of Fruit Ridge
who reflected the view of many down-
»state farmers. He showed that the
College is continually urging farmers
to burn brush and rubbish and to
clean up their fence rows, but this
bill would make it difficult for farm—
ers to follow this advice without vio—
lating the law.

This bill illustrates the fact that
Michigan is a great state with widely
diversified interests and that a law
which is desirable and necessary in
one portion of the state may not be
needed and may work a serious hard—
ship in another part of the common-
wealth. The only solution ot this
perplexing problem is 'to be found
through cautious, deliberate, con—
servative and intelligent lawmaklng
backed up by sympathetic and in—
formed public opinion.

THE INDIAN DRUM
(Continued from Page 10)
she asked it without urging; at his re—
fusal she moved slowly up the steps: but
she halted when she saw that he did not

go on.
"Miss Sherrill,” he said, looking up at
her, "how much money is there in your

 

I house?”

She smiled, amused and a. little per-
plexed; then sobered as she saw his in—
tentness on her answer.

“I mean—how much is ordinarily kept
there?"

“Why, very little in actual cash. We
pay everything by check—tradesmen and
servants: and even it We happen not to
have a charge account where we make a
purchase, they know who we are and
are always willing to charge it to us."

"Thank you. It would be rather un-
usual for you—or your neighbors—to have
currency at hand exceeding the hund-
reds?”

"Exceeding the hundreds? That means
in the thousands—or at least one thou-
sand; yes, for us. it would be quite un-
usual.”

She‘ waited tor him to explain why he
had asked; it was not, she felt sure, for
any reason which could readily suggest
itself to her. But he only thanked her
again and lifted his hat and moved away.
Looking after him from the window after
she had entered the house, she saw him
turn the corner in the direction of Astor
Street.

BEN FRANKLIN said:

“The Safest Investment is a ‘ de-
posit of fertility in the soil bank;
it is surest and pays the best.”

     
       
      
     
 

EN FRANKLIN “broadcast” these words of
wisdom ’Way back in the 18th century, yet at
the present time the waste of farm fertility is ap-
alling. Authorities have estimated that from ’75 to
B6 of all our barnyard manure is absolutely wasted,
the annual loss totaling about $800,000,000. Nor is
this loss confined to poorly managed farms; it occurs
on many that are operated efficiently otherwise.

What is the solution? It is not enough simply to
put manure on the fields in haphazard manner. A
Nebraska farmer who kept records for 3 years dis-
covered a difference of 252 bushels of corn in favor of
machine spreading over pitchfork spreading. This
on two 6-acre plots. Think what a difference is
possible on your acreage. You cannot afford to
overlook so important an item!

The local McCormick-Deering dealer can show
you the McCormick—Deering Manure Spreader in a
size to fit your farm. We recommend purchase and
regular use of this money-making machine to re—
store and maintain the fertility of your crop acres.

chick that,is scantily feath-
~ ered, ruffled, with hunched
shoulders and has an unhealthy
appearance is generally aflected by
lice or mites.
chick will not run with the others
and may stand off by itself and
not; eat, although. it has been well
9 . .-
Mites are pin point in size. They
live in a crack or crevice of the
coop by day; by night they crawl
upon the chick and suck its blood.
Hungry mites are whitish gray and
only visible if one looks closely. Aft—
er feeding, mites are red with blood
and are found in clusters hidden
from the light. To rid the coop of
them deluge every bit of its sur-
face, inside and out, filling corners,
cracks, crevices and chinks full of
zenoleum wash, made by stirring 1A
cup of zenoleum into two quarts of
water. Be careful not to miss a
bit of the surface anywhere. If
you use a spray pump, give it force
enough to drive the disinfectant into
the cracks. ~
It is a waste of time and material
to fight mites in a half—hearted way.
Miss a dozen and you will have, in
an incredibly short time, a thriving
colony that will number millions.
Kerosene will kill mites, but not
their eggs or nits. It is not lasting
enough to be effective. Lime, air-
slacked or made into whitewash,
will not eradicate mites unless ap-
plied boiling or when crude carbolic
acid or something of like nature is
added.

Zenoleum is good because it is
lasting, is healing to the hands of
the operator, to the feet of the
chicks, does not stain the feathers
or fluff permanently, is not poison-
ous and has no injurious fumes.

them and keep them clean and your
work is done. For lice, use the
same methods and precautions' for
cleaning and keeping the coop
clean, but in addition the chicks
themselves must be freed from the
pest. ‘ .
, Lice live upon the, chicks by day
and night, breed upon their bodies
as well as in the coop. You will
find the lice generally upon the head
or neck, sometimes under the wings
or around the vent. While plainly
visible to the eye, being 1-16 to '1-8
inch in length, lice unless numerous
may elude your search for them.
They live upon the skin, not the
blood, and are found burrowed deep
down in the fluff or feathers next to
the skin. When the feathers or
fluff are parted in search of them.
they scud out of sight so quickly
that it takes speed to get a. glimpse
of them and many .people are fooled
into thinking their birds are free
from them, when in truth they are
not.

To make certain, apply a drop of
olive oil or any of the salad oils to
the crown of the Chick’s head, an-
other below the ear, and still an-
other to the throat just below the
beak. This generally reveals the
lice and is the best method of rid-
ding chicks of them. Kerosene, sul—
phur, lard, meat drippings, or vase-
line are things all too harsh and
crude to use on the tender down
and skin of young chicks. The olive
oil is just as effective and can be
used more liberally, and is not near-
ly so hard on the chicks. The best
way of all is to treat the hen before
setting her with licene, and the coop
and nest as described above with
zenoleum and have no lice upon
the chicks. There is no profit in
feeding lice and mites ofl the flesh

 

In fighting mites, rid coops of and blood of the little chicks.

hammer and saw, and is willing to spend
a few hours work and about 15 or 20 ,-
cents for each he wants to make. ‘

The material for a nest is an apple LL; qr _ _*
box or any other box of the dimensions ' '—
20x12112 inches, which may be secured at a grocery store for about
15 cents, a piece of stiff wire about 20 inches long, and a few poultry
netting staples and nails. Measure and mark an opening 8 inches
wide and 9 inches high on one end of the box. Saw out the opening
being careful not to split the wood, as the piece sawed out is to be
used as-the trap-door. Nail a strip of wood across the top of the
opening made in the end of the box. Cut a 10-inch piece of wire
and staple it, as shown in the illustration, to the trap-door about half
an inch from the top. Use four or five staples to fasten the wire,
so that it will make a solid hinge upon which the door can swing.
In order to make the door swing freely. you will have to plane or
Whittle the top and bottom a little. When you have the door in
place, cut a strip of wood 12x3x1 inches and nail it in place, as shown,
12 inches from the back of the box. This is the nest, the space in
the front of the box containing the door and the trigger that springs
the trap when the hen passes into the nest.

When you have made the nest in the back of the box, proceed
as follows to make the trigger: Cut a piece of wire about 9 or 10
inches long. Bend it as shown in the figure, and with two staples
fasten in place on the left-hand side of the 3x12—inch piece at the
place marked “A”. Adjust the trigger so as to hold the trap-deor
at the proper height from the bottom of the nest. It must trip at

the moment the hen lifts the door by passing under it. Nail boards
on the top of the nest. and then test the finished trap-nest by setting
the trap and springing it. After you have tried it, you may have to
adjust the trigger so that the door will drop as the hen goes into
the nest. The smaller breeds will have to have the trigger set to hold

MEAT, SCRAPS FOR IJAYING
- HENS ‘

Do you think hens should have
meat scraps in order to get large
production ‘of eggs?——-F. S., May-
ville, Mich.

T is usually considered necessary
, that laying, hens have some
source of protein in order that
one receive a. high egg production.
Protein feeds considered of value
are: 'meat scrap, fish meal, tankage,
dried buttermilk, and , semi—solid.
It is probable that in this section of
the country, meat scrap is better
than any other form of protein.—
C. G. Card, Ass’t Prof. of Poultry
Husbandry, Acting Head of Dept.,
Michigan State College.

BLEEDING COMB

I have some very fine brown Leg—
horn hens. Last winter about the
middle section of the combs started
to bleed. Within six hours from
the time the blood started the hen
would die. I lost six hens that
way. Can you tell me the cause?
What animal taps hens for blood at
the top and base of wing?——~H. R.,
Stanton, Mich.

BLEEDING from the comb can be
stopped by the use of iron

chloride, saturated solution.
The cause is usually picking by
other hens or some other physical
injury. I don’t know if any animal
has the habit of tapping the hens
for blood at the top and base of
the wing—H. J. Stafseth, Assoc.
Prof. in Bacteriology, Michigan
State College.

SEED THE YARDS

- NE of the best ways ofdestroy—
0 ing the bacteria that bother
poultry is to put the yards un—
der cultivation. In addition. the
seeding of the yards is very impor—
tant from the standoint of furnish-

ing green stuff for the fowls.
Where a considerable number of
mills is kept on a relatively small

. run it 'is well to arrang’f; the lots SO

that they can be alternated. In this
way feed will be growing on one
while the fowls are foraging in the
the other.

Oats is probably the most com-
mon plant used for this purpose.
The man who was thinking about
this problem last fall probably put
in fall rye and is now reaping the
benefit of a good lot of green stuff.
Sudan grass is more widely used
than formerly, and is well liked by
a good many as. it grows rapidly af-
ter it gets a start.

\VHAT EFFECT HAS THE )[OON
AND SUN ON YOUR PLANTING":
(Continued from Page 4)

Most almanac interpretations of
planting dates rest upon the fact
that certain signs of the zodiac are
considered fruitful and others bar—
ren. The best times to plant, ac—
cording to these books, is when the
moon is rising and in a fruitful sign
or when a fruitful Sign not contain-
ing the moon is rising, and at the
same time, in a fruitful sign. They
also claim a good time to cut weeds
or cultivate is when the moon is in
aabarren sign. Conditions vary and
we can only answer ,correctly for

individual persons when specific
dates are mentioned.
These are ancient astrological

rules and we come across many
people who claim much success from
them. Personally, we have not un-
dertaken any extended research in
the. matter, but at the same time we
believe there is sdmething to it. We
gust venture the thought that plaint-
ing under certain astrological condi—
tions. may strengthen or weaken the
Vitality of the seed planted that will
show_ .out under normal seasonal
conditions. Unusual weather con-
ditions might off—set this influence
during growing weather.

We know beyond a doubt that
certain astronomical conditions pro-
duce certain kinds of weather and
the correctness of our long range
weather forecasts prove our conten-
tion. We could not, therefore, run
down or deride the idea that seed
.planted at a certain time could not
be influenced by mysterious electric—
a1. vibrations of sun and moon. The
Bible says, “The heavens declare
the glory of God: . . Day untq
day uttereth speech, and night after
. . . “To
everyt‘ ng there is a season,. . . . a

Wheat, Corn, Oats in Strong Position .
Good Demand for’ Cattle and Hogs
By w. W. FOO'I'E, Market Editor.

' ENERALLY speaking, business
'is moving along fairly well, the
railroads carrying enormous
quantities of freight of various
kinds, yet some lines of merchandise
are showing a. slackened movement,
and considerable numbers of work-
ers are out of work. In the cities
the cost of living has been vastly in-
creaSed since pre—war times, and in
the ,big cities rents have had such
a great boom that multitudes of
people have been compelled to give
up their apartments and rented
houses and live in one or two rooms.
As a partial offset to this, salaries
and wages have undergone marked
advances, but in many respects the
farmers have quite a number of ad
vantages over the city dwellers. At
any rate, the family who own a nice
farm just big enough to provide
them a comfortable living, with

rm production and raising most of
the things consumed by the family
are the main requisites. In one ex-
tremely important respect the
change in the farmer’s position is
much improved. An Iowa farmer
who visited Chicago a short time
ago said: "A year or two ago no-
body wanted to loan maney on a
farm. Ask for a loan of $100 on
an acre and you would be laughed
at. Now it is different. There have
been so many losses on other invest-
ments that farm mortgages look
good. The legitimate borrower is
welcomed.”

Our Michigan wheat farmers are
counting on a profitable year, and
they have plenty of confidence in
their dairies, fruits, berries, etc.
In some instances; however, 1133‘...

spraying the fruit orchards would
pay handsomer in the near future.
In some districts high-class dairy
cows are being purchased. Holsteins
being especially popular.
biles are in general use on the
farms, and the use of auto-trucks
is rapidly increasing.
The June Crop Report .

A total wheat crop of 661,000,000
bushels or only 11,000,000 bushels
in excess of the average annual do-
mestic disappearance of bread grain
in this country during the last three
years was suggested by the depart—
It was 212,-
000,000 bushels less than the 1924
harvest. After eliminating the du-
rum wheat, which is not wanted for
domestic requirements, the report
suggested that the, supply of bread

. wheat was actually less than this

country's needs. The winter wheat
crop is estimated at 407,000,000
bushels, being below any of the pri-
vate reports, and was the smallest
since 1912, when it was 399,919,-
000 bushel, showing 38,000,000
Who! less than in May and com-
pares with 590,000,000 bushels har-
vested last year. Kansas, Nebras-
ka and Oklahoma have a total win-
ter wheat crop of 144,000,000 bush-
el, or 17,000,000 bushel less than
last month, and 119,000,000 bushel
less than last year. The Kansas
crop alone is 84,000,000 bushels,
against 153,000,000 .bushel harvest-
ed in 1924.“ u ~ "4p

the gain of 24.6 per cent in the
acreage being a factor. The hay
crop has been eriously damaged
by drought’ and heat and is estim-
ated at 95,800,000 tons, or 16,00,-
000 tons less than in 1924.

The Wheat Situation .

Looking forward to the new crop
year, it is important to observe that
all the indications point to a com-
paratively small amount of wheat
to export to foreign countries. Win-
ter killing was severe, and serious
injury has been done this spring
and summer by dry weather. The
recent Canadian government crop
report was bearish, but the crop re-
port sent out by the United States
Department of Agriculture was very
bullish on wheat and other grains
and hay and caused good advances
in prices. Later there was a heavy
selling of wheat and lower prices.
Wheat is still in an extremely
strong position and sells at far
higher prices than a year ago, as
do corn and rye, while even oats
have at last had a good rise in
prices on the bad crop news. Har—
vesting is making rapid progress in
the winter wheat districts of the
southwest, and premature ripening
has taken place as far north as Illi—
nois and Indiana, with cutting pn-
der way in both states, Rafi—Era};
,able daEaEQ-lmfi J(Keen done to corn
  weather in Texas, according
to recent reports, and there were
complaints of rain being needed in
the _main corn states. Replanting
of corn has been extensive and a.
large corn acreage is expected, the
abandoned acres of wheat and oats
going into corn. The visible wheat
supply in this-ocuntry is down to
about 34,000,000 bushels, compar-
ing with nearly 40,000,000 bushels
a year ago; while the corn in sight
is 18,372,000 bushels, comparing
with 11,878,000 bushels a year ago;
that of oats 34,994,000 bushels.
comparing with 5,251,000 bushels a
year ago :and that of rye 10,287.-
000 bushels, comparing with 18.-
317,000 bushels a year ago. The
wheat acreage in fifteen European

countries is slightly larger than a
car ago. The world’s rye acreage

.a little larger than last year
Late sales for July delivery were
made on the Chicago Board of Trade
of wheat at $1.62, comparing with
$1.11 a year ago; :corn at $1.16,
comparing with 81 cents a year ago:
cats at 54 cents, comparing with 47
cents a year ago; and rye at $1.14,.
comparing with 75 cents a year ago.
Oats are expected to go higher.

Pastures are in excellent condi:
tion, being rated at 98 per cent of
normal, but in order to maintain
this high condition, frequent rains
will be needed. Surface moisture
is needed at present, but lack of
moisture he not yet damaged pas—
tures. Present indications are that
a few early shipments of grass fat
cattle be expected on the market
movement will start about July 5.

So far the weather has been cool
and there has been no fly damage.
Rains have been sumcient to keep
the grass in good condition without
being “washy”.

Good Demand for Cattle

There is fair consumption of beef
at the present time, and good prices
for beef cattle are paid compared
with other years, but the tendency is
to over load the Chicago market, and
this causes sharp breaks frequently,
as happened last week. The bulk
of the beef steers sold at $9.25 to
$11.25, the best yearlings going at
$11 to $11.60 and the best heavy
steers at $10.50 to $11.50. No really
good steers went below $9.75, and
sales took place all the way down to
$8 to $9 for common to fair steers,
with inferior little steers at $5.25 to
$7.75. Grassy cattle are arriving in
increasing numbers and sell badly.

stocker and feeder trade was very
poor at further reductions in prices,
with sales at $4.50 to $8, mostly at
$5.50 to $7.

The Hog Industry

Hogs continue to sell at far higher
prices than in recent years and are
a source of great profit to farmers
provided with sufficient corn and
other feeds. There is large consump-
tion of fresh and cured hog meats
and lard despite their high prices.
The recent official figures showing
the supplies of provisions are very
bullish, the combined stocks of hog
products in the seven packing points
on June 1 being 296,497,876 pounds,
comparing with 343,697,910 pounds
a. year ago, reflecting the great fall-
ing off in the marketing of swine.
For many weeks the marketing of

hogs has been running far below re-
cent. years, and for the year tolate
date combined receipts in seven lead-
ing western packing points aggregat-
ed 13,195 000 hogs, comparing with
15,431,00 one year ago, 14.807.000
two years ago and 10,908,000 three
years ago. One year ago hogs sold
in the Chicago market at $6 to $7.25
and two years ago at $5.80 to $7.05.
01! late the ~most important feature
of the Chicago market was the dis-
crimination of the packers against
light hogs and underweights, these
declining at a lively rate while the
heavier lots were advancing. At
the close of last week hogs sold at.
$10.70 to $12.60, comparing with
$10.60 to $12.35 a week earlier.

Advanced prices are probable, d- . ,

though the demand from eastern
packers has fallen off.

WHEAT .

‘ Although the reports indicated the
wheat crop was in poor condition
prices declined last week. Students
of the market do not believe prices
will remain as low as they are at
present for long, and some of the.
predict $2 wheat before the new crop
is harvested. The new crop is head-
ing very short in most sections. ’

CORN
Hot and dry weather gave the corn
market a strong tone up to the clos-
ing days of last week when beneficial
rains over the corn~belt caused it to
weaken.

OATS

Better growing weather in a let.
part of the country where cats are
produced gave the mar km
tone or days of in:

sex. Dealers expect a strongfl
tone in the near future and prices
may go higher.

RYE
Rye follows the trend of 0th.
grains, especially wheat, and both
prices are looked for. .

BEANS

Receipts have dropped off consid—
erably and a better demand is re-
ported. The 'trade is a little slow
about paying the advanced price but
the market seems to be in a much
stronger position than it has been
for several weeks. Some dealers are
even predicting that the price wfll
go to $6.00 per hundred pounds.
Much depends on how fast grower:
bring their beans to market.

._ POTATOES

Farmers are marketing their m
toes and prices cover a wide range.
The market is not able to absorb
the potatoes on account of the large
receipts and a weak tone is noted.
There seems to be a liberal supply
of new potatoes .and the price in
lower.

Week of June 21
OCAL storms of wind and rain
are to be expected about Sun-
day of this week in many part:
of Michigan but by Monday the sides
will clear more generally with a

' slight drop in the mean temperature

more thunder showers are to be ex-
pected, however, towards the middle
of the week. Wind storms are also
to be looked for about Tuesday and
Wednesday.

With the exception of about Fri-
day and Saturday the balance of the
week will generally be sunshiny with
the temperature rapidly rising. At
the end of the week there will be
local severe electrical storms and
heavy rains. . Just which back 80
these rains will strike cannot be fore-
told, of course, but ominous looking
clouds and rising winds should be
heeded when coming at this time.

" prospect with a condition of 78 per
cent as compared with a ten-year
‘average of 87 per cent. The present
outlook is forla crop of 49,645,000
bushels as compared with 67,200,000
in 1924, and it,is doubtful if a full
recOVery is possible even with abun-
dant rains.

Barley: The estimated acreage is
171,000, an' increase of 12 per cent
over last year. " The crop has suffer-
ed in common with cats from the cold
weather and drought during May,
and the present condition of 77 per
cent is 12 per cent below the ten
year average. This forecasts a pro-
duction of 3,818,000 bushels, which
is' nearly one million bushels less
than harvested last year.

Bye: Bye was injured by frosts
in some sections, and growth has
been delayed by the unusual weath-
er conditions in May, resulting in a
loss of eight pageant in condition
during the month. The present fig-
ure of 80 per cent indicates a pro-
duction of 4,514,000 bushels, which
is about 1,600,000 bushels less than
last year’s crop.

Ray: The outlook for hay is very
discouraging. But little growth has
been made and the condition has
dropped to 71 per cent, as compared
with 91 per cent one month ago, 83
per cent one year ago, and 86 per
cent, the ten—year average. This
figure represents a production of 3,-
402,000 tons as compared with 6,-
010,000 tons in May. The acreage is
estimated at 3,194,000.

its production.

Mint raising in .Gratiot county
is largely confined to New Haven

where the land is low andrmucky.
Gratiot county growers figure on an

acre. the- cost of growing the .crop
being about the same as beets, or
even less. "

It is expected that from 500 to

Guaranteed
1 0,000 Miles

The genuine Derby Cord tire is guaranteed to be abso
lutely first quality. If any defects should develop, we will
replace or repair the defective tire on the basis of 10,000
miles of service. The Derby tire is a Straus & Schram
product, branded with the Straus  Schram name, made to
Straus & Schram specifications and backed by Straus &
Schram’s ironclad guarantee. We know how the Derby is
made; we know the materials that go into it; and we say—
no matter what brand or what price, there is no better tire
than the Derby. And we back that statement with our
approval offer and our guarantee. 1

Extra Thick—Full 0versize

The Straus & Schram Derby Oversize Cord is an extra
heavy, extra thick, full oversize cord tire. Compare it for size
and weight with ANY other well known makes sold for cash
at higher prices. Ask any expert to judge the materials. You
will see that the Derby is equal to tne most expensive tire.
Why? Because it is made of the best materials, by experts,
in a factory whose product is standard in the tire industry.

Derby Special Non-Skid Tread

We are proud of our exclusive Derby Non-Skid Tread. It
is extra thick and semi-flat, providing nearly twice as much
wearing surface as the ordinary rounded or flat tread. So
tough that it will show almost no wear after thousands of
miles of service. The tread is scientifically designed to give
the highest non-skid efficiency. Derby treads are built to
stand a strain of one and one~half tons per square inch and
hardened to give maximum resistance to wear. The friction
surface is of unadulterated new rubber, carefully vulcan-
ized to prevent separation. The Derby Cord Tire has that

handsome all-black color now preferred by motorists. _

,$ 11-5- 61 Month!

Yes, on this wonderful new plan, you can pay for your
tires on easily monthly terms as low as $1.75 a month—6

as many tires as you'll need for your car this entire season
--only $1.00 down, balance in six monthly equal payments.
