INTERNATIONAL GRAIN AND
AMEAY SHOW
NTRIEB close November 10th
for the International Grain and
Hay Show which will be held at
Chicago, November 28th to Decemx
her 6th. There are no charges for
making entries and Superintendent-
G. I. Christie expects that ever live
thousand samples of grains, small
seeds and hay will compete.

The, Inter-Collegiate Crops Judg-
ing Contest will again be held un-
der the supervision of Protessor A.
C. Army, University of Minnesota.
and indications point to last year's
record being surpassed. The college
winning this contest will receive one
of the twenty Pullman Company
Scholarships or $250 each.

Professor M. 0. Pence, Purdue
University has been appointed as
the various agricultural experiment
stations for the first time.

All exhibits at grain before being
judged will be omcially weighed and
graded by representatives or the
Federal Grain Supervision, U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture. under the
direction of Mr. R. T. Miles, in
charge of General Field Headquar-
ters, Chicago. ’

Still another exhibit will be that
from the Soils Department of the
Michigan State College which will
show, the types of soilsaultahle for
growing potatoes and the effect of
using various fertilizers on the yield
and quality of the crop produced. .

The show is being held in the
American Legion Hall. The wall
space will be taken up by educa-
tional exhibits. The exhibits of po—
tatoes will be placed on tables 80
that all may examine them. All
meetings will be held in an adjoin-
ing room.

The one central thought of the
show is
Economically." The idea being not
to encourage increased acreage of
potato growing of more economic

importance to the farmers of the

Thumb.

WHOLE STATE REPRESENTED AT
WEST MORGAN POTATO SHOW
HE entire state was represented
in the entries oi the West Mich-
igan Potato Show at Greenville,
October 29-31. Many of the leading
growers in this state had entries and
Montcalm county, which produces
two or three times as many tubers as
any other county in the state led in
the number at exhibits.

Elaborate educational e x h i b it 3
made by the Michigan State College
and the State Department of Agi-
culture attracted wide spread atten-
tion. Also considerable interest'was
shown in the baking potato contest
staged by the Grand Rapids Press.

There was an elaborate program
of entertainment with authodties on
potatoes, either raising or marketing,
givlitng interesting and instructive

Potato Prices Climb Skyward

PECULATION in Michigan pota-
toes has reached unprecedented
heights. The price to farmers

on the Greenville markets went from
$1 for 100 pounds to $3.50 inside 01
One day last week. Shippers attri-
bute the advance to specultaion that
has developed in all markets since
most of the late potato belt in the
United States and Canada has been
buried under a snow blanket.

One Greenville dealer reported the
sale of 59 cars of potatoes one day
and the bulk of the business, he re-
ported, originated trom sources
which ' he believed speculative.
Many of his regular customers have
withdrawn temporarily trom the mar-
ket, he said, and their return de-
pends on whether Indian Summer
comes within the next tew days. It
the weather does not moderate soon
they will be torced'into the market
again as soon as their supplies are
exhausted, and then ~ another bull
market is in prospect. with prices
probably soaring to $3 or more a

bushel to tumors at country load-,

ing points.

Thousands 01 bushels of potatoes
are still in ' the ground throughout
Michigan. Canada. and other late pro—
ducing areas and may never be har-
vested. The situation is playing into
the hands of the speculative interests
who are reported to have deserted

in potatoes.

Trucks are being sent in every
direction from loading points solicit-
ing potatoes from farmers, but sens-
ing a bull market rivaling the high
prices at 1919 the growers are‘in-_
disposed to sell at $3.50 a hundred
unless they are hard pressed for cash.
Their attitude toward selling tends
to further strengthen the market.
Many farmers are trying to harvest
their potatoes in the middle of the
day. They are sweeping or shovel-
ing the snow oi! the rows and digging
the tubers with forks it unable to
use their mechanical diggers. The

potatoes are being .hauied directly .
to storage or placed in pits in the '

fields.

Few are being offered for
sale. ‘

The crop has not been damaged '

much as yet, as the snow has pro-
tected the potatoes trom treat.

The bounding market on table

7 7' _ Grangers Dis«:uss Many Important Questins

52nd‘Session of Michigan State Grange at Adrian Sets New High Water Mark

RUE to the splendid traditions
and commendable policies which
* ‘ have -been responsible for the
glorious record ofthe Grange during
the more than half century of its
history, the 52nd state convention
of the \Michigan Patrons of Husband-
rry was 'held“at AdriamOctober 27-29.
With the annual meeting cut from a
four day to a three day affair, the
session was an extremely busy one
for the delegates.

As is characteristic of State Grange
meetings, considerable interest cent-
ered around the matter of resolutions
relative to state and national affairs.
After a multiplicity of suggestions
from various subordinate and Po-

mona Granges had been sifted down».

by the 'convention committees, the
delegates turned the annual assemb-

' ly into a veritable open forum. Many
vital issues were dragged out into
the light; and the force of eloquence,
wit and logic turned loose upon them.
An unusually large proportion of the

" proposals were tabled, but usually
not until the discussion had been in-
teresting and illuminating.

Debate " Auto Licenses

, Highway finance, taxation and leg-
oislative reapportionment were lead-
ing rivals for the center of the‘ stage.
After no little debate, the Grangers
finally tabled a proposal to urge the
issuance of one set of automobile
license plates for the life of the car,
chargeing only enough to cover the
actual cost 'of the plates and their
distribution, and then making up for
the loss of weight tax revenue by a
higher gasoline tax. In opposition
to this resolution, it was pointed out
that the present highway finance
system has been in effect only a few
months and should not be radically
changed until the public has had op-
portunity to observe how it is work-
ing. Fear was expressed that if the
gas tax were depended upon as the
chief source of highway funds the
rate would have to be materially in-
creased, perhaps to six cents per gal-
ion.

The suggestion recently made by

By STANLEY M. POWELL

(Lansing Correspondent of The Business Farmer.)

Governor Groesbeck that the various
counties cancel the approximately
$10,000,000 of deliquent highway re-
wards due to the several counties
met with a storm of opposition. A
strong resolution was finally adopted
demanding that the funds derived
from the present two—cent gas tax
law be expended strictly in accord-
ance with the terms of the law.

It will be _rememberéd that the
1925 gas tax law specifically pro-
vides that the first revenue so de-
rived should be used to make pay—
ments on the deliquent rewards due
the counties at the rates of $1,500.-
000 this year and $2,000,000 annual-
ly hereafter until the whole indebt—
edness is liquidated. The law fur-
ther provides that not less than $3.-
000,000 each year shall be set aside
from the gas tax revenue for the pay-
ment of interest on the state high-
way bonds and to establish a sinking
fund for their retirement. After
these requirements have been satis-
fied, the law specifies that “The bal-
ance, if any, shall be used for the
general construction, improvement
and betterment of the public high—
ways Within the state."

Demand County Money First

“It seems to me that the Adminis-
tration is going at this matter back-
wards,” said C. H. Bramble of Lans—
ing, member of the Executive Com-
mittee of the State Grange, in dis-
cussing this resolution. “I am afraid
that they are using ‘the balance’
first, without carrying out the first
two requirements. I believe that we
should insist that"the terms of the
law be complied with exactly.”

Realizing the seriousness of the
taxation situation confronting our
farmers today, the Grangers devoted
a large part of one afternoon to the
consideration of this problem. Sen—
ator Norman B. Horton of Fruit
Ridge, read a scholarly paper treat-
ing in a comprehensive manner the
whole taxation situation, placing

special emphasis upon the matter of
state taxes.

Senator Horton deplored the pres-
ent system of tax laws, which he
said are. “an antque hodge-podge
subterfudge.” He added that law
makers “have sought to alleviate a
condition with peppermint when a
major operation would seem necess—
ary.” He urged the repeal of all
existing state taxes except the high—
way levies and the tax on public util—
ities, the revenue from which now
goes into the primary school fund.
However, the senator suggested that
to make a clean job of tax reform in
Michigan the primary school fund
should eventually be abolished, al-
though he did not stress immediate
action in this direction.

Taking up this matter of the prim-
ary school fund, Mr. Bramble urged
that all revenue which now goes into
this fund should be placed in the
general fund of the state and a spec-
ial fund of $3,000,000 be set up to
and especially needy school districts.
Both Senator Horton and Mr. Bramb-
le were outspoken in their endorse-
ment of a state graduated personal
income tax and a resolution to that
effecvt was adopted.

Disagree As to Method

Concerning legislative reapportion-
ment, both the above speakers were
agreed as to its importance, but dif-
fered radically as 156' just how the
Grange should proceed to remedy the
situation. Senator Horton reminded
the delegates that at the fall election
in 1926 the question as to whether
or not their should be a constitu—
tional convention convened in 1927
to draft a new constitution would
automatically be placed upon the
ballot. The Senator urged that all
farmers vote for the calling of such
a “con-con” in order that income
tax provisions and restriction of leg—
is lative representation from any one
county might be written into the
state’s fundamental law. Both Mr.

Bramble and State Master A. B. Cook
of Owosso counseled that no “con-
con” be called but that any deficienc-
ies in the present constitution be
remedied by specific amendments. No
formal action was taken in regard to
this matter.

The Grange reinterated its insist-
ance upon a “pay as you go” policy
and protested against additional bond
issues, especially for highway pur-
poses. A large number of other res-
olutions were discussed, only a few
of which can be reported here. The
delegates insisted upon“ more strict
enforcement of all laws, especially
mentioning the prohibition law. They
urged that driving a motor vehicle
while intoxicated be made a felony
instead of a misdemeanor and peti-
tioned Congress for the enactment of
nation-wide uniform traffic laws.

Resentment was manisfest among
the delegates regarding the present
law compelling local school boards
to get the approval of the Superin—
tendent of Public Instruction before
making any improvements to school
buildings'or equipment which would
call for an outlay of more than $300.
Numerous aggravating and expens-
ive experiences were related and a
strong resolution passed demanding
repeal or modification of the 1919
law on this subject.

Hearty approval of the agricultural
extension service in Michigan was
voiced in the following resolution:

Approval of Extension Service

age of unprecedented progress, char-
acterized by inventive and scientific
achievements and group action

WHEREAS, agriculture must keep

servient to the, and the farm home

ilizing and purifying factor in Amer-
ican life, and

Millions of European Corn Borers Invading Michigan Corniields

NTEREST in the damage being
done by the European corn borer
was so great among nearly nine-

ty corn growers, seeds men, state

employees, farmers, county agents, ‘

and others connected with Michigan
agriculture that bad weather did not
stop them from making the tour of
the infested area of Canada on De-
tober 22. All had read about the
losses suffered by the farmers of Es-
sex and Kent counties, Ontario and
a few had made the trip at a previ-
ous date, but most of the group was
astonished to see how heavily the
Canadian fields were damaged. Few
had really appreciated the serious-
ness of the situation, but rain and
snow were soon forgotten when we
invaded the fields to study the dam-

age at close hand. When they learn-,

ed that not a field in the area had
escaped, that every stalk in some
fields contained corn borers, and
personally handled cornstalks con-
taining from 25 to 100, borers, then
they realized what will happen to

Michigan’s corn crop if we do no ,

fight now and fights hard. '

_ At Chatham where we visited the
experiment station where enemies

ofthe corn borer are being proDa-'

gated, Earl Smith, a. farmer living

‘fnear Millikins, declared that to him

 

 

 

 

 

 
   
 
 
 

 enemies at it have been

determine whether the U n i t e d
States would have to stop raising
corn or not. Others approved of
this statement, and all agreed every
efort must be put forth to hold
back the enemy.
History of Corn Borer

The corn borer was first discover-
ed in this country in Massachusetts
in 1917, coming into the United
States in a shipment of broom corn
from Europe. In 1919 it had spread
into the state of New York and the
following year it was found in Can-
ada. Now the area infested in Can-
ada amounts to around 400 square
miles, while the area in the vicitiny
of Lake Erie under quarantine is

estimated at 30,000 square miles“

Up to July 1 of this 'year the borer
was found in 10 Michigan counties:
Lenawee, Monroe, Wayne, Washten-

'a.w, Oakland, Macomb, St. Clair, La-

peer, Sanilac, and Huron. Only 4
counties at that time were fully in-
fested but since that date it has
spread further into the other six
counties and reported in three new
counties: Tuscola, Livingston and
Jackson. And in spite of all that is
being done to control this pest it is
spreading rapidly, being reported in
new sections almost daily during the
crop yea_r.. ~

As the borer exists mostly in .the
center of the cornstalk, and often in
the ears, it is a~ hard pest to fight.

  

Arlington, Massachusetts, and Chat-
ham, Ontario, Canada, and liberated
in the infested areas, but it does
not seem possible to breed these in
sufficient quantities to seriously
hamper the borer’s spread. During
the last three seasons only 2,045,—
000 of these parasites have been
liberated and in just one Canadian
cornfield of ten acres we visited, it
was estimated there were 10,000,-
000 corn borers.

Although the European corn bor—
er prefers corn, and its allies, it will
work in any fleshy plant having a
stalk or leaf petiole of a pithy na-
ture, finding even weeds a very sat-
isfactory food. It has been found
in beet tops, (38316619 gladiolus, chry-
santhemums, a of the weeds it
prefers smart—weed.

Control Methods

The most effective method of
fighting the corn borer known of at
present is to destroy all cornstalks,
cobs and everwthing else in the
quarantined area before the 15th
of May each year in order to kill
the immature forms before they
have a chance to become, moths and
still further spread the difficulty.
Corn in the quarantined area should
be cut low, not more than an inch
from the ground'if possible. It
should be cut early because the
corn plants dry from the top down
and the larvae descend towards the
roots as the season advances. Of-
ficials.  strongly advocating put-

 
 

ting corn in silos as fermentation
kills the borers. Shredding corn-
stalks is also a good way to eradi-
cate them and the practice is being
encouraged. While fall plowing is
not efiective to a very large degree
it does help and should be done if
fields can be plowed after November
15th. Plowing before that date is
of doubtful value, at best. When
fields are plowed late the “worms”
do not come up and re—establish
themselves in loose stuff on the sur«
face, like they will if plowed early.
Planting late in the spring helps
some but of course there is the
chance of the crop not maturing be-
cause of early frost.

This year the Canadian farmers
lost $2,000,000, according to esti-
mates, and officials expect that Mich-
igan, being just across the river,
will be the first part of the United
States to suffer a similar heavy loss.
The officials "admit the borer is
spreading and they must have the
whole-hearted cooperation of all {the
citizens of the states infested if they
can ever hope to control it. Quar—
antines must be closely observed by
all and farmers must exert every ef-
fort to eradicate it from their fields
and prevent it from spreading into
others. There is a big fight on our
hands and the harder we fight the
sooner it will be over. Let’s get

.busy now, not wait until the damage

in

in Michigan is as

great as it in
Canada. , ,

most passed out
of existence.
‘T h e s e changes
came very grad—
ually.

So we f i n d
that the changes
in the methods
of m a r k e t in g
milk were very
gradual. At one
many city
, ople had their own cows and dur—
4 g; the summer time the city cows
were driven out to pasture of a
morning and then back to the city
again at night. ,The next step in the
development oft: the modern city
milk market was for farmers near-
,by, to produce the milk and deliver
.‘f'lt'night and day. At times, because
10f: the variation in the flow of milk
rom their own herds, some farmers
had to buy milk from their neigh—
bOI‘s. Others expanded their trade
to such an extent that their cows
wbuld not furnish a sufficient quan—
tity even in times of heavy produc—
tibn and they were compelled to buy
milk from other farmers. As the
business expanded and required
m‘ore attention, the production end
> of the business was given up and
' the milk»man (as he was called in
thOSe days) bought his entire sup—

l~ .
p .yOther men, who were not farmers.
learned that money could be made
 dealing in milk so they made ar-
raihgements to buy their supply
{film nearby farmers. Gradually,
the new market agency, the milk
rfiltributor, came into existence, and
inlay practically all of the milk for
the city consumer passes through
" This development was
the result of the growth of cities and
the tendency toward specialization.

Some Still Deal Direct

In some sections of the country,
especially near small cities and
towns, there are still many farmers
who sell the product of their dairy
herd direct to the consumer. How-
' ever, the larger the city the smaller
he percentage of the milk supply so
andled. The fact that most cities
have made pasteurization of milk
necessary has caused a concentra-
tion in the milk distribution busi-
ness. In those markets where milk
must be pasteurized, ‘he farmer is
not able to sell his milk direct to the
consumer because of the expense of
‘ pasteurization. We have today,.ln
most city markets, a concentration
of the milk distributiig business
into the hands of a relatively small
number of dealers.
When the business of buying milk
from a neighboring farmer or a
few farmers near the city market
was in its infancy, the two parties
.made an individual agreement, just
as‘any farmer would with his neigh-
bor for a load of corn or a ton of
hay. Each transaction was made
on a personal basis and many differ—
‘cnt types of agreements were made.
,hls buying of milk for re—sale to
' >he consumer brought a new bus1-
mess relationship into being. As long
: the business was conducted on a
mall scale, the farmcr usually per—
onally knew‘the purchaser of his
roduct and made a bargain each
ime the old agreement terminated.
here was the personal relationship

HIS is second article of a series on marketing milk that Prof.
J. '1‘. Horner, or the Michigan State College, is writing for‘ the

readers of The Business Farmer.

In this article he takes up

the relationship between the farmer and the * distributor, beginning
when the farmer had only a. few cows and a. few nearby customers and.

was not the specialized business it
is today in many localities.

The main point to note is that in
the early .period of specialized milk
distribution, there was a direct and
personal relationship between the
distributor and the farmer. As time
went on and the city market requir-
ed the production from wider areas,
the distributor was forced to buy
from a greater number of farmers.
The personal relationship was be-
ing lost. It was not long until very
few dairymen knew the man who
was buying his milk. There was not
that personal touch which makes for
understanding. The distributor did
not know his numerOus patrons and
instead of dealing with them as in—
dividuals he began to deal with
them as a mass or group. Farmers
were out of touch with the market
and did not know what conditions
were. In many instances they re—
ceived a notice that‘the price of milk
would be so much and they could
either sell or not Just as they de-
sired.

This period in the development
of the modern milk market is the
one in which the milk distributor
acquired a very bad reputation. He
was accused of almost every crime
known to man. No doubt, there were
many men in this business who took

an undue advantage of their posi—
tion in the market and did not give
the farmer as much for his product
as he deserved. This was easy to
do because the farmer was not in a
position to bargain with the‘ buyer
and he knew very little, if anything,
about the conditions of the market.
The farmer in this period was an in-
dividual ‘working alone and had to
take the price which was oifered him
without knowing whether it was a
just price or not. If he did not ac-
cept'he would have to look for some
other market for his product.
In Hand of Distributor

Not only was the farmer forced
to accept the terms of the market
in reference to price; but he could
sell his milk only when the distrib—
utor wanted it. If production went
high or consumption fell off, the
farmer was notified to keep his milk
at home. In this respect, the farm—
er was somewhat in the position of
the day laborer who is given a job
only on those days needed. Obvi-
ously, a \farmer cannot afford to
keep up a dairy herd and the neces—
sary equipment for milk production
unless, he has a steady market for
his product.

As time went on and the demand
for milk increased some distributors

realized that if they were to secure

Changing Styles in Fruit Varieties

By HERBERT NAFZIGER

Editor Fruit and Orchard Department, THE BUSINESS FARMER

HE styles in women's clothes are
T said to be set in Paris. Chang—
ing styles in women’s clothes
are hard on the pocketbook, but
what about changing styles in fruit
varieties?

Fruit varieties which have been
profitable standbys for years may
suddenly become
a liability in-
stead of an as-
set, and then the
fruit grower is
faced - with t h e
arduous task of
top—working his
orchad or, in
some cases, pull—
ing out the trees

Michigan today. The most conspicuy

011's of these is the, Duchess apple in

the northern :partct’thcvsta ' Th re,

 

 

was a time when the Duchess apple
was quite profitable and many trees
of this variety were planted. Now,
however, many students of the situ-
ation consider the variety doomed
and the sooner the trees are top-
worked to other varieties the better.
The reason for this situation is
the advent of the early southern ap-
ples. Most people will agree that
the Duchess is not a high class ap—
ple. It is good for cooking but that
is about the limit of its usefulness.
Consequently, when Maiden Blush,
Wealthy and Jonathan begin to
come from the south the Duchess
deal is finished. Unfortunately these
southern apples appear at about the
same time that the northern Michi-
gan Duchess are ready to be picked
and the result is inevitable:
Wherever top—working is possible
the Duchess grower can change, de—
feat into , victory by grafting his
trees- to bettervand more profitable
' varieties. ' .. r. .

the needed supply they would have'
to give the farmr a steady market.
This was done in many instances;
but in general, the relationship ex-é
isting between the producer and dis—
tributor was unsatisfactory afteri
the business developed to the extenti
that bargains and contracts could
not be made on a personal basis. 3
It is not necessary to recite all the
events which transpired during the
struggle between distributors and:
farmers which eventually grew into,
the movement toward cooperationfi
Farmers felt that they were not be- '
ing dealt with on a fair basis. All ,
sorts of proposals were \made. ‘
Charges and counter charges were
hurled from one side to the other.
The whole difficulty was due to the
fact that the two parties in this bus- .
iness deal could not deal one with '
another. There was not the person- '
a1 touch in their relationship. ‘

Cooperative Associations

The outcome of the whole matter
was the organization of cooprative,
associations. As we look at the de-,
velopment during the past ten years, ‘
we see that the matter was much
moresimple than it appeared at the
time. The reason the situation was
not understood at that time was that
the main points at issue were not
clearly seen. ' t,

The difficulty, as has been stated,‘
was due to a lack of proper relation- -
ship between the buyer and the sell- '
er of the product. The personal
touch was lost. The market had de-
veloped to such an extent that it
was impossible for the farmer to de—
liver his milk direct to the consum—
er. This made the milk distributing
agency necessary. Then, the large;
number, of farmers supplying the'
distributor and the great distance
of these men from the market made
personal dealings impossible. With-
out this personal touch and the
means whereby the farmer could
look more closely after his interests,
the buyer of his produCt naturally
took advantage of_ him. i

There were two ways in which}
this evil ‘could be remedied. " One:
was to do away with the milk dis-
tributor as a private individual and
have the farmers as a group perform ‘
this service-of distribution. This'
method had its weaknesses and was
not followed out in many markets.
One reason why this cooperative
ownership of the distributive sys-
tem was not more generally follow-
ed was because of the immense
amount of capital needed to secure
milk distributing plants and other
needed equipment. So in most mar—’
kets, cooperative ownership was not
substituted for private ownership.

The other way in which the bad
situation could be relieved was for
the farmers to cooperate and have
their representatives deal directly
with the distributors. This was the
method which has been followed in
most markets. It is called the bar-
gaining type of cooperation. Since
it is impossible for each of the thou-
sands of farmers to deal with the
buyer of.his product personally, the
next best manner of maintaining a
close relationship between the tWo
parties and securing for the farmer

adequate market information is
through the representative system.
The cooperative association has

made it possible for the producer of
milk to overcome some of the dif-
ficulties of market development and
has brought back, in part, that
close relationship which is necessary
for successful business dealings.

It seems that by the very nature
of things we are meant to be kept
in hot water a good share of the
time. The solution of some problem
often brings another "which is still
more difficult. The cooperative bar-
gaining association has made it pos—
sible to secure a closer relationship
between the farmer and the distrib- .
utor groups. Now one of the prob-
lems is how to best bring about the
proper relationship and understand-
ing between the ..representatives of.

’the farmers and the farmers them-

selves. Officers of, farmers’ associ-
ations have been giving much con—

The new cable means speedier service. as it provides

We have rented a farm and have

to harvest the crops and haul to the
market? Does that mean you have
to husk the corn? Hu‘sking is not

party is to get one-third of the-

crops raised on the place—W. M.,

above statement, which is part of
contract. I interpret it that all crops
are to be completely harvested and
marketed. This would include corn
along with other crops.

The degree of harvesting of any
crop depends upon what use is made
of it. If the corn is to be fed to
live stock in the stalk, the harvest—
ing point would end when the corn
was shocked or perhaps hauled to
barn, depending on how handled.—

LENGTH OF SCHOOL DAY
Is it the duty of a teacher to keep
a child until, 4 o'clock when request-
ed or is it their privilege to send a

child home at 2:30? Last year the”

mother asked (through an older
child) if she would keep the little
girl until her brother and sister
went home, and she refused, saying
she was not running a kindergarten.
She was told mother was away and
wouldn’t want the child home, as
she might turn on furnace and for-
get it or get in some mischief. Even
then she refused, but finally said
she might stay outside. and the
weather was 10 below. This year
the parents called for the child be-
fore 2:30 and she wasn’t going to
allow her to leave, but did. What
can a person do under such circum-
stances‘I—llrs. G., Ortonville, Mich.

HE authority for determining the
length of the school day, that
is, when school shall open and

close at night, is vested in the local
school board. The school board
would have authority to authorize
the teacher to excuse the chil-
dren of the lower grades at an ear-
lier hour at night than the regular
closing hour for the school.

In other words, they could make
the school day for these children
shorter than that for the children of
to advanced grades.

Of course, children from seven
to sixteen years of age come under
the provisions of the compulsory
education law and are expected to
be in regular attendance at school,
unless such children come under one

all but a small corner of a

line fence was torn down by neigh-
bors who claimed I had no right to
put a fence across the lake. I would
like to build another fence across
this corner. but before I build it :1
would like to know if I have a. right

Roy Buttry of. Armington, Ill. makes the Business
of Farming profitable by keeping his Fordson

' HAVE a Fordson which I bought last spring. I
sowed 80 acres of wheat with it and never had a.
horse in the field. I do all kinds of work with it.

“I dumped 3000 bushels of corn with a cup dump
and never choked up a time or broke a link in it. I
hung a beef that weighed 800 pounds. I threw a
rope over the limb of a tree and drew it up with the
Fordson.

“1 ground feed for 12 cows. I sawed about 40 to 50
loads of wood. I pulled the manure spreader with it.
I stretched 120 rods of woven wire with it and also
my barbed Wire after the sleet came. I moved a shop
12x14 feet, a chicken house, 10x16 feet. When it got
so slick my horses could not stand up I hauled two
loads of wood with it.

“I drag the roads, both snow and dirt and have

us in the build-

Help is not plentiful in this section '

at any time, but just now the con~
dition is aggravated by unusual de-
mands. The Consumers Power Co.
are constructing’ a high voltage line
across this section, and the N. Y.
Central are improving their railway
by laying new heavy weight rails,
and perhaps it is the novelty of
working for big concerns, or the fact
that the work is called quite steady
that appeals to the men—at any
rate many who generally work ‘on
farms are now on the pay“ roll of
these’companies. We have no cause
for serious complaint hoWever, and
live in hopes to see normal condi-
tions prevail again in a few years at
least. "

One obstacle in Our storage house
construction was the gravel hauling.
The pit is a little over three miles
away, and we engaged a truck to
haul it, about twenty-five yards of
gravel being required. But when the
gravel was needed the truck man
was otherwise engaged, and there
being no other trucker available, we
hauled the gravel with teams. While
this occupied altogether too much of
our time, it gave us a chance to ap-
preciate fine, smooth gravel reads.
A few years ago we hauled gravel
from the same place on very poor
roads, and a yard was a load for a
team, and they needed frequent rest
stops at that. This time we drew
a yard and a half, and the team
hauled it far easier than they once
did the yard'load. There is a hard
pull for a team at the gravel pit, and
shoveling is something more than a
pastime over there too, as the gravel
must be thrown some distance if
shoveled directly into the wagon.
We found we gained much time by
scraping out three or four loads on

farmer,“"and how much of a proposi-
tion he has to be up against to call
it hard. Some men call every little
grade a hill——-while others never no-
tice the little grades at all and the
hills are just little rises of ground
to them. It also makes a difference
what the debt stands for. I once
knew-a man who was inclined to
possess everything that seemed to
be a“‘bargain, and often had debts
to show for some of his purchases.
One time the railroad advertised a
low rate excursion to a far distant
city. Not having the money for the
trip, he hired a considerable amount
and, with his wife, enjoyed the two
weeks’ trip. On his return he had
a debt to pay and nothing to show
for it, except maybe a few litho-
graphed pictures of water falls and
such and of course pleasant mem-
ories of places he visited. But no
doubt the thought of the debt quite
offset the pleasant memories.

Before incurring a debt, it is a
good thing to ask yourself what you
will have to show for the debt. If
you will have nothing tangible to
show, or in other words, if you will
have nothing which will help you to
pay the debt, better not get in debt
for it. To illustrate; A farmer may
have feed and time to care for a few
more sheep or hogs or cows, but no
money with‘which to buy them. It.
would seem good policy to go in
debt for them if there were a bright
prospect in the feeding of the same.
The farmer would have the stock,
and probably a profit to show forthe
debt. But altogether too many
people are always ready and willing
to sign the dotted line, and be in
debt for something of no profit—mak—
ing value. It seems to the writer
that much of the joy of possession
is lost if things are not paid for!

‘ CHAPTER XVI
A Ghost Ship

" OLDER some to-night, Conrad.”

"Yes, sir.”

“Strait’s freezing over, they say."
,“‘Pretty stiff ice outside here already,
Sir." \.

The skipper glanced out and smiled
confidently but without further comment;
yet he took occasion to go down and pass

who under direction of the mate were
locking the lugs under the car wheels,
as the trains came on board. The wind,
which had already risen with, nightfall
to a gale off the water, whip snow
with it which swirled and back— d
with the switching cars into the great.
gaping stern of the ferry .

‘Ofllcially, and to chief extent in actual-
ity, navigation had “closed” for the win-
ter. Further up the harbor, beyond Num-
ber 25, glowed the white lanterns mark-
ing two vessels, moored and “laid up”
' till spring; another was still in the active
process of “laying up.” Marine insur-
ance, as regards all ordinary craft, had
ceased; and the Government at sunrise.
five days before, had taken the warning
lights from the Straits of Mackinaw, from
Ile-aux-Galets, from north Manitou, and
the Fox Islands; and the light at Beaver
Island had but five nights more to burn.

Alan followed as the captain went be-
low, and he went aft between the car
tracks, watching old Burr. Having no
particular duty when the boat was in
dock,
steamer “laying up,” and now was stand—
ing watching with absOrption the work
going on. There was a tug a little farther
along, with steam up and black smoke
pouring from its short funnel. Old Burr
observed this boat too and moved up a
little nearer. Alan, following the wheels-
man, came opposite the stern of the
freighter; the snow let through enough
of the light from the dock to show the
name Stoughton. It was, Alan knew, a
Corvet, Sherrill. and Spearman ship. He
moved closer to old Burr and watched
him more intently. \

“What’s the matter?” he asked, as the
old man halted and, looking down at the
tug, shook his head.

“They’re crossing,” the wheelsmen said
aloud, but more to himself than to Alan;
“They’re laying her up here,” he jerked
his head toward the Stoughton. “Then
they’re crossing to Manitowoc on the tug.”

“What’s the matter with that?” Alan
cried.

Burr drew up his shoulders and ducked
his head down as a gust blew. It was
cold, Very cold indeed in that wind, but
the old man had on a mackinaw and, out
on the lake, Alan had seen him on deck
coatless in weather .almost as cold as
this.

“It’s a winter storm,” Alan cried. “It’s
like it that way; but to-day’s the 15th,
not the 5th of December!”

“That‘s right,” Burr agreed.
right.”

The reply was absent. as though Alan
had stumbled upon'what he was .think—
ing, and Burr had no thought yet to
wonder at it. ‘

“And it’s the Stoughton they’re laying
up, not the—” he stopped and stared at
Burr to let him supply the word and,
when the old man did not, he repeated
again “not the—”

\ “No,” Burr agreed again, as though
the name had been given him. “No.”

“It was the Martha Corvet you laid up,
wasn’t it?” Alan cried quickly. “Tell me
——that time on the 5th-——it was the Martha
Corvet?”

Burr jerked away; Alan caught him
again and, with physical strength, de-
tained him. “Wasn’t it that?” he de—
manded. “Answer me; it was the Martha
Corvet?”

The wheelsman struggled; he seemed
suddenly terrified with the terror which,
instead of weakening, supplied infuriated
strength. He threw Alan off for an in—
stant and started toward the ferry; and
now Alan let him go, only following a few
steps to make sure that the wheelsman
returned to Number 25.

, Watching old Burr until he was aboard
the ferry, Alan spun about and went back
to the Stoughton.

Work of laying up the big steamer had
been finished, and in the snow-filled dusk
her crew were coming ashore. Alan.
boarding, Went to the captain’s cabin,
where he found the Stoughton’s master
making ready to leave the ship. The
captain, a' man of forty-five or fifty, re—
minded Alan vaguely of one of the ship-
masters who had been in Spearman’s of-
fice when Alan first went there in the
spring. If he had been there, he showed
no recollection of Alan now, but good-
'humoredly looked up for the stranger to
state his business. -

“I’m from Number 25,” Alan introduced
himself. “This is a Corvet, Sherrill, and
Spearman ship. Do you know Mr. Corvet
when you see him. sir?” ‘

"Know Ben Corvet?” the captain re-
peated. The manner of the young man
from the car ferry told him it. was not
an idle question. fii‘YesplknowBenflorr

“Will you come with me for a few
minutes then, Captain?” Alan asked. As
the skipper stared at him and hesitated,
Alan made explanation, “Mr. Corvet has
been missing for months. His friends
have said he’s ,been away somewhere for
his health; but the truth is, he’s been

missing. There’s a man I want you to
look at. Captain—«if you used to know
Mr. Corvet.” ’

“I’ve heard of that.” The captain mov-
ed alertly now. “Where is he?”

Alan led the master to the Ferry. Old
Burr had left thecar deck; they found
him on his way to the wheelhouse.

The Stoughton's skipper stared.
the man?” he demanded.

“Yes, sir. Remember to allow'for his

clothes and his not being shaved and that
something has happened.”
, The Stoughton's skipper followed to the
wheelhouse and spoke to Burr. Alan’s’
bloOd beat fast as he watched this con-
versation. Once or twice more the skipper
seemed surprised; but it was plain that
his first interest in Burr quickly had van-
ished; when he left the wheelhouse, he
returned to Alan indulgently. “You
thought that was_Mr. Corvet?” he asked,
amused. .

“You don’t think so?” Alan asked.

“That

“Ben Corvet like that? Did you ever
see Ben Corvet?”
“Only his picture,” Alan confessed.

“But you looked queer when you first
saw Burr.”

“That was a trick of his eyes. Say,
they did give me a start. Ben Corvet
had just that sort of trick of looking

through a man.”

“And his eyes were like that?”

“Sure. But Ben Corvet couldn’t be
like that!”

Alan prepared to go on duty. He would
not let himself be disappointed by the
skipper’s failure to identify 01d Burr;
the skipper had” known immediately at
sight of the old man that he was the
one whom Alan thought was Corvet, and
he had found a definite resemblance. It
might have been only the impossibility of
believing that Corvet could have become
like this which had prevented fuller recog-
nition. Mr; Sherrill, undoubtedly, would
send some one more familiar with Ben-
jamin Corvet and who might make proper
allowances. .

Alan went forward to his post as a
blast from the steam whistle of the
switching engine, announcing that the
cars were all on board, was answered by
a warning blast from the ferry. On the
car decks the trains had been secured in
place; and, because of the roughness of
the weather, the wheels had been locked
upon the tracks with additional.chains
as well as with the blocks and chains
usually used. Orders now sounded from
the bridge; the steel deck began to shake
with the reverbrations of the engines; the
mooring lines were taken in; the rails
upon the fantail of the ferry separated
from the rails upon the wharf, and clear
water showed between. Alan took up his
slow pace as lookout from rail to rail
across the bow, straining his eyes forward
into the thickness of the snow-filled night.

Because of the severe cold, the ’watches
had been shortened. Alan would be re—
lieved from time to time to warm him«
self, and then he would return to duty 'v
again. Olb Burr at the wheel would be
relieved and would go on duty at the

same hours as Alan himself. Benjamin
Corvet! The fancy reiterated itself to.
him. Could he be mistaken? Was that

man, whose eyes turned alternately from
the compass to the bow of the ferry as
it shifted and rose and fell, the same
who had sat in that lonely chair turned
toward the fireplace in the house on As-
tor Street? Were those hands, which
held the steamer to her course, the hands
which had written to Alan in secret from
the little room off his bedroom and which
pasted so carefully the newspaper clip-
pings concealed in the library?
Regularly at the end of every minute,
a blast from the steam whistle rever-
berated; for a while, signals from the
shore answered; for a few minutes the
shore lights glowed through the snow.
Then the lights were gone, and the eddies
of the gale ceased to bring echoes of the
obscuration signals. Steadily, at short,
sixty-second intervals, the blast of Num-
her 25’s warning burst from the whistle;
then that too stopped. The great ferry
was on the lake alone; in her course,
Number 25 was cutting across the lanes
of all ordinary lake travel; but now, with
ordinary navigation closed, the position
of every other ship upon the lake was
known to the officers, and formal signals
were not thought necessary. Flat floes,
driven by wind and wave, had windrowed
in their courSe; as number 25, which was
capable of maintaining two thirds its
open water speed when running through
solid “green” ice two feet thick, met this
obstruction, its undercut bow rose slight-
ly; the ice, crushed down and to the sides,
hurled, pounding and scraping, under the
keel and along theblack, steel sides of
the ship;0’Alan could hear the hull re—
sounding to the buffeting as it hurled the
floes aw in and more came, or the wind

i ' O’THE YOUNG



TEXT: “I have written unto you,
young men, because ye are strong, and
the word of God abideth in you, and ye
have overcome the evil one.” 1 John 2:14.

E was an old man. His name

was John. The sunset was in

his eyes. The hard things of
life had sweetened his soul. His
long and intimate touch with'God
had given him‘..a super-wisdom. Let
us hang on his words earnestly.
Back of them is a long experience
that proves them to be as final and
fixed as the rocks. They are, young
people, a true statement of what we
ought to be. V

But What ought we to be? What

do we want to be? The shipwreck
of many lives is due to indifference
and indefiniteness on this point. Ev-
ery community has three types of
men. Which on'e do you want to
be? One is a social blood-sucker.
His hands are too nice to soil at pro-
ductive labor. He wants a living
but he wants it without working
He says the world owes it to him
so he is all the time waiting for
something to turn up instead of
turning something up. He may not
resort to black-jacking the other
fellow for his money, but he has en—
rolled in the fellowship of the bus-
iness knave and he is not averse to
polite, legal stealing. Pass this man
by. He is dangerous.
The second man is one of these
wise, ~cautious fellows. He wants
to do his duty but does not want to
do any more. “Bear ye one an-
other’s burdens” was not spoken
for him. Self is at the center and
everyone else is crowded to the out—
er margins of life. Or, to use the
word of the street, he.is just inter—
ested in “getting by.” Of course,
he must have enough social respect
to keep out oijail. Ignore this
man. He doesn’t count.

And the third man? Well, there
are all too few of these. He not
only wants to get by and be called
decent, but his major care in life is
to be a great reservoir of strength
to others. The first, best thing in
his life is to seek the brotherhood
of his fellows. He has Samaritan-
ism in his Christianity. Do you
know what that is? It is neighbor
love. This man is in earnest about
this. The motive that rules his life
is one of service and not of profit.
Follow this man. He is bound for
the heights. The aged author of
our. lesson makes the service motive
the true test of living. 3:16-18. And
now we are ready to listen to the
counsel of our text.

First, then, young friend, are
these words, “ye are strong.” Let
us aim at strength. Has “the four—
fold life” become a bare slogan to
you? At any rate, it stands for a
life of strength. Now, physical
strength is coveted and demanded.
It is ours to keep and use as apre-
cious gift. , We never know how to
appraise this gift at its true value
our frames have been weakened by
years of toil and cares. We would
keep our bodies clean and strong.
Yet, this is not primary in the apos—

tle’s meaning. That poor little, hat-I

ed Jew of his day, St. Paul, gets
bigger through the passing of the
centuries, while' the glOry of the
Samson’s and the Jack Dempsey’s
fades away over night. Young man,
we are living in a day when brains
count; brain power rules. Primitive
man shOWed his muscle by his phy—
sical feats, but modern man is show-
ing his brains by his subtle, ingeni-
ous, and world encompassing
achievements.

Now, if we desire strength, we
must will to follow the gleam that
leads us into the higher altitudes of
life. We can best resist the call to
the lower levels by persisting in fol-
lowing the trial that leads to the
high table lands of character and
worth. Other and loud voices will
say “Don’t go.” But we are to coun-
ter with “I will.” _

7 At the center of a real man is a
, heart that says “I will.” He came
pieted' his school ,course byworking
taurants and elsewhere. He

in the hottest weather to stay the

most "interested in fine clothes and
social functions. Souls of youth, in
a world of wicked antagonisms, the
way to the conquering life is marks
ed by a conscience, headed; and by
a will, determined.
“Lives. of great men, reached and
kept, ’
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But they, While their companions
slept,

Now, we have a true reason, giv-
en in our text, for the strength of
the young Christian in those early

you." There is» no picture of fancy
painted here. The times in those
pagan days wereunmentionably cor-
rupt. And here we have young

ffolksactually standing against this \

so successfully as to be come mem-
orialized in our text. And why?
They sought refuge in the word of
God. “The words that I have spok-
en unto you are spirit and they are
life," says Jesus. Do we understand
this? 'Well, we cross the morning

threshold for the way and work of ‘

the day. And some/how, things do
not go so smoothly. Trivialities
arouse our temper and temptation
lurks around us. But our minds are
so filled with the Word of God, with
thinking about his love and good-
ness, with a consciousness of his
companionship and protection, and
with a sweet assurance of better
things further on, that temptations
do not conquer and little things do
not darken our sky. Our hands and
feet may be in the stocks but mid-
night hymns will float on the air.
Circumstances do not shut us off
from lGOd when we have his word
and life in our heart.

[st-rhe "word or God abideth in‘

But we must have the word of
Truth ready to use. A strange 3014
dier, indeed, that would go out to
fight ‘the enemy without a Weapon.
We need an ever ready weapon to
protect from the enemies on ourI ,:
trail. But we must know how to ‘s
use this sword of the spirit and this 
comes through devoted and prayer;
ful study of the Bible. Young folks
are reading libraries of books
other things but are failing to rgdl
the Book of Life. Of course, they,
are weak. To be strong, the Truth in
must abide in us. The life of Jesus
must take up residence in the heart.

And this is the victory: “Ye have
overcome the evil one.” The soul
of- youth is full of conflicting calls
and impulses. The aged‘ apostle
sympathized and understood, and so
his counsel: “This is the victory
that overcometh the world, even our
faith.” ‘Young friend, if the full
powers of your soul fail to come to
expression, it is because you have
chilled them in the midnight air of
unbelief. Are you cutting the cor-
ners of your mom] life? A danger-
ous heresy that, of living just to get

"The Form Paper of Service”

 

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

VEN at the present market value of Michigan
crops there will be according to the figures
just made public by Verne Church, Federal

statistician only a slight reduction in the valu-
ation of Michigan’s fifteen major crops.

That means the farmers of Michigan will on-
joy as good a year as they did in 1924 and we
predict, with rising prices, a much better year.

Taken by and large, we are still convinced
that there is no better state in which to carry
on the business of farming than our own. Mich-
igan does not depend on a few crops for its re—
venue.
one crop or the lower prices on another. Great
states in this union depend on a single crop and
gamble with the elements and the production of
all other sections of the world for their likeli-
hood.

The valuation of Michigan’s farming lands did
not soar during the post—war periods to unheard
of and unjutsifled heights. While there was a nor—
mal movement away from the farms. the bone
and sinew of Michigan agriculture hold fast, even
against odds, to maintain their ownership and
carry-on.

Now, you who have remained on the forms you
till, can expect to capitalize on your patience and
tenacity. Every rising sun sees in Michigan a
greater market within the borders of this com-

mon-wealth itself, for the dairy and fresh com-‘

modities which‘should be provided near at home.
The extension of good roads makes it possible
for the farmer to reach these growing centers of
population and by the use of motor trucks, the
market radius has been extended from a few
miles to a hundred.

These are better days for the business farmers
of Michigan and you should be feeling better and
making optimistic plans for the development and
improvement of your farms. Are you?

FIGHT THE (JOHN BOREBI

NLY eight years ago the European corn
borer was first discovered in the United
States, in the state of Massachusetts, and it

has spread so rapidly since then that today the
area infested in the vicinity of Lake Eric is said
to be 30,000 square miles. Thirteen counties
in our own state are under quarantine. the borer
having been found in all of them, and now sec—
tions report finding the first signs of the pest
nearly every day of the crop year. This year the
total loss to Canadian farmers in Ontario
amounted to $2,060,000.
that corn in their counties has its back to the
wall and they must put up a hard and long fight
if they are to save it. Farmers to the south of
us in the state of Ohio, where infestation at some
points is as high as 66 per cent. also. appreciate
what this enemy of the corn crop can do in a
short time. Most of the farmers in tho quaran-
' tined area of Michigan are doing all they can to
cooperate with the authorities, fully awake to
what will happen if the post is allowed to spread.

light. Let your battle cry be “Death to the
Borer" and get into the fight now.

GET YOUR MONEY BACK, BEAN .GBOWERSI
mur last issue we published an editorial un-
der the heading “What about beans?” and
among the letters we received about it was

one from 'a member of the“ committee appointed

to handle the funds for advertising Michigan
beans. He expressed regret that the campaign
to raise funds had fallen through but suggested
that farmers were as much to blame as elevator
men, because they were “tickled to death” in
some localities that the elevator men, were not
deducting the one cent per hundredweight. We

hardly agree with our friend on this question. If,

the elevator men had talked in favor of the cam-

paign no farmer would have hesitated about con-‘

tribnting their hit. But we do agree with ~him
further on in his letter where he states that

who had faith and contributed.

The total amount collected for advertising
amounted to $8,881.10 and, we understand, the
committee has a complete record of those that
contributed and they have returned to each one
the money sent it. Each elevator man is sup-
posed to advise all farmers who contributed
through him to call for their money. If you con-
tributed to the advertising fund be sure to call
at the elevator where you sold your beans and
ask for a refund because it should be there
waiting for you.

USING TIfll‘ STATE FAIR GROUNDS
has been suggested, and wisely we thinkuthat
the state fair grounds, now within the city
limits of Michigan’s metropolis should be
utilized for some geod purpose of benefit to the
citizens of this state, besides the ten-day fair
and an occasional Sunday auto-race orgy.

One of the suggestions is that an unused sec-
tion of the fair grounds be set aside as a state
park for the accomodation of tourists’ tents.
That would be of benefit not only to our visitors
from other states, but could, if properly managed
be used to «advantage’to the thousands of our ‘cit-
izens from tip-state who make 'pilgrimages for
one reason or another at all seasons] to Detroit.

In any event there is no good reason why the
state fair grounds should be locked and barred
to those who wish to utilize them for educational
or recreafional purposes at some other time than
fair time and a little study of the subject would
suggest many good uses to which they could be
put.

We commend to the agricultural leaders of
thought in our state an investigation of the pos-
sibilities of greater benefit from the investment
and cost of maintenance which now exists at this
state institution.

“GOT YOUR APPLES OFF?"

“ 0WDY! Got your apples off?” When the
well known frost is on the time-honored
pumpkin, when fall winds and cold rains

begin and old man Winter gives us an occasional

sample of his chilly breath, then one fruit grow- .

er is quite apt to ask of another, “Got your ap-
ples off?” No doubt other farmers are asking
each other “Got your corn husked?” “Got your
’tators dug?" and other similar questions. But
no matter what the individual's special line of
business is, farmers as a whole are one great
fraternity bound together by the tie of Mother
Earth, for it is from the soil and the products
thereof that they all make their living.

But oh man! When the first cold storm of
winter puts its white blanket on the landscape
and you whistle to your rabbit dog as you go
for a short and hard earned day of recreation;
then isn't it a grand and glorious feeling to know
that the apples are 0! and the spuds taken care
of? Nothing to worry about until tax time!

But just now we are tramping the glorious
autumn woods.‘listoning to old_,“'l‘railer" sound

“HIST WE FORGET"

EVEN years ago the 11th of thismonth the
armistice with Germany was signed and the
great World War was brought to a close.

Seven years is not a long time and most of us an
recall the feeling of joy that came over us when
the news was flashed around the world. If we
will but stop a moment in our pursuit of gold
we'can recall the wonderful work the Red Cross

did to take care of the boys in the trenches. how ,

they maintaind hospitals in the battle zone and
ministered to the wounded. The worker: gave
their own lives in thousands of instances in car-
rying on their work. During war times the
Red Cross is a most heroic organization to us
and we are willing to give until it hurts, to help
it,‘but in times of peace when their, work is just
as fine but not as spectacular we are are inclined
to forget that they have to have funds to work
on. Every year between Armistice Day and
Thanksgiving Day in November they have their.
drive for funds, and this is the only time during
the year that they ask for your help, although
they are helping your country every day out of
the year. Be ready to give your bit when their
drive opens next Wednesday, November 11th.

from the Upper Peninsula we are
in hopes" that our subscribers have

have published, but we want to re-
peat here their methods for the ben-
efits of new subscribers.

These enlarged picture sharks
come to your door and ask if you
have a photograph of a child or rel-
ative you would like to preserve.
They know you have because every
one of us has not only one but sev-
eral. They try to learn from a neigh-
bor if you have lost through death
a child or close relative and then
when they call they ask fer a photo
of the cshild or relative and then
proceed to work on your sympathy.
You bring the photograph and they
become enthusiastic over the possi-
bilities of enlarging it, they show
you how that- company enlarged
one for Mr. So—and-so “and the
photograph wasn’t nearly as good
as the one you have.” The picture
they show you is in a frame and
they promise to. enlarge your photo
“just like this one" and deliver it
to you for $4.98 or at a. price near
that. ‘

~ You are asked to sign an agree-

you to pay for a picture in a frame,
but does obligate you to pay for the
enlargement. When delivery is
made you find they have placed the
picture in a frame and you are ask-
ed to pay a fancy price tor the
frame. “We knew you would want
to have the picture framed so. that
you could hang it up, and this frame
we will sell to you at a very special

FRAUD ORDER ISSUED AGAINST
FLORIDA LAND COMPANL
HE Rstomce Department has is-

sued a. fraud order againét the
Florida Land Company,

nolly Manor; and J. Factor, Presi-
dent. The statement of the Post-
ofiice‘Department says that the com-
pany has been taking land valued
by the Orlando Chamber of Com—
merce at $45 an acre and divided it
into four lots which were sold at

$100 each. The land is represented

as being on the 'fringe of Orlando,
whereas it is said to be seven to nine
miles south of that town. The Post-
oifice Department also says that Or-
hudo 'ie not Florida’s leading city
next to Miami. According to the
complaint the company is said to
have declared that it maintained a
resale department through which
large profits may be made by inves-
tors. Whereas, the evidence showed
that the concerns did not have such

a resale department and there is no .

evidence where a single re-sale was
made resulting in an advantage to
the investor. A number of other
misrepresentations are cited in the
Postomce Department's complaint.

LEE THOMAS COMPANY

VER three months ago one of
0 our subscribers sent an order

amounting to $18.40 to Lee
Thomas Company, of Chicago, and
when she received the goods she
found that she was a victim of mis-
representation finding only one ar-
ticle anywhere near the price asked.
so she \kept this article and returned
the others requesting a refund of
her money. The company replied
that they could not return her mon-

ey and that she would have to order ’

more goods. FollOwing their in—
structions she again ordered and
was again disappointed with what
she received, and again she returned
the goods. Theywould not reply to
her letters after that and she wrote
to us. Our letter to the company
came back stamped “FRAUDU-
LENT. Mail to this address return-
ed by order of Postmaster General."

INSURANCE COMPANY IN
TROUBLE

E State Insurance Department

is making an investigation of

the activities of the Cosmopoli-
tan Life Insurance Company, having
offices in Detroit, and it is possible
that the state may demand the re-
fund 03 money paid by people who
bought stock. The company’s per-
mit to sell stock has been suspended
and, it never has been granted per-
mit to sell insurance. The investi-
gation was started by State Treasur-
er refusing to accept $100,000 in 7
per cent mortgage bonds on the Gal-
isteo River Farms, Santa Fe County,
New Mexico, as a suitable deposit to
meet the statutary demand for a
$100,000 surplus from life insur-
ance companies.

FRAUD ORDERS
, UD orders have been issued

by the Post Ofllce Department
against the Knickerbocker Mer-

chandising Co., Inc., New York, and

FOOD, REST AND PLAY FOR
GOOD SCHOOL WORK

0 child should be permitted to
go to school without eating a
good breakfast, declares the
foods specialist of the New Jersey
State College of Agriculture. Well-
cooked, easily digested food, plenty
of sleep, and out—of—door play are re-
quired by the growing school child.

All children who are attending
school, particularly the many who
are attending for the first time
this month, are meeting new situ-
ations each day. All these new ex
periences are a strain on any child,
especially the very active one. It
is mother’s ~responsibility to send
the children to school on time with-
out that feling of being hurried.
The rising hour should be early
enough so that breakfast may be
eaten leisurely—appetities are not
keen in the morning and require a
little coaxing. If the first time they
(refuse. children learn they must
eat a good meal, there will be no
further trouble at the breakfast
hour. The same rule should be ap-
'plied to each meal during the day.
‘ Well-cooked easily digested food is
relished by most children.

Rest and slep are essential for the
child. It is mainly when the body
is at rest that it grows—for this
reason the sleping hours are called
“the growth hours of the child.”
The boy or girl just entering school
requires eleven hours of sleep a day.
If there is an opportunity, a. nap on
the porch after school is ideal. As
many children may not wish to
sleep then, a half hour of quiet play
may be substituted just before the
evening meal to rest and calm the
child. A meal is more enjoyable
and more easily digested if preced-
‘ed by a rest.

Not many hours of the day are
left for out—door play, but these
hours are golden and should be so
planned that no child is denied the
benefits of sunshine an fresh air.

USING DYES
ERE is hardly a day in the year
that one does not handle some
garment that they wish was an-
other color. Most of us have dress-
es hanging in the closet that we
have had for two or three years that
are still good but we do not wear
them because we are tired of them.
We could and would get a lot of
wear out of these dresses if they
were dyed some other color but we
are afraid to attempt the work for
fear of ruining them completely.
‘Or there is some of the clothing you
are going to make over for the chil-
dren that you could dye a different
color and make much more desir-
able to the little folks. Dyeing is
not so difficult as many think, and
by following a few simple rules one
' can insure success. The following
rulesare recommended by the Home
Service Department, of the manu-
facturers of Diamond Dyes:
1st. The material should be
'Weighed carefully while it is dry to
make sure that the proper propor-
tion’of dye solution is used to cor-
despond with the weight of the ma-
terial.
. 2nd. The receptacle selected for
dyeing should be of tin, brass, por-
Nev-
er use iron or galvanized iron. The
receptacle should be large enough
permit the goods to spread out
jgfithout crowding. Have plenty of
water in the dyebath to keep the
material well covered at all times.
"‘ 38rd. Have'the dyebath lukewarm
when entering materials. One-half
fiour should ' be taken to increase
temperature to boiling point.

dyed strictly in accordance with the
directions on the dye envelopes.

WELL FI’I'I‘ED SHOES ABE
MOST ECONOMICAL

AVE you ever sat in a car stand-
H ing near the curb and watched

the people go by? If so, you
will, no doubt have noticed that
some of the folks go by as though
they were enjoying themselves.
They had an easy, free, graceful
walk which made them wear their
clothes well and on the whole look
attractive.

Others went by with a choppy,
strained walk, and a pained expres—
sion on their faces. These people
did not make as favorable an im-
pression as the others.

If you had looked closely, you
would have noticed that the people
were wearing different kinds of
shoes. Some had shoes that fit their
feet, while others had made their
feet fit their shoes.

The constant wearing of badly
fitted shoes, and improper positions
in standing and walking, has de-
formed the feet until a perfectly
normal foot is seldom found in
grown folks. To be comfortable, well
dressed and happy through life, wear
the right kind of shoes. The right
kind of shoes should have a straight
inner border_ following the line of
the normal foot, room for the toes
without crowding, broad low heels
and a flexible shank which allows
action of the arch. The shoes should
also be low cut, thus permitting free
use of the ankle.

Shoes that meet these require-
ments are more economical than
those that' do not. Carefully fitted
shoes will wear longer than poorly
fitted ones. Substantial heels do
not wear off nor run over as easily
as fancy heels and are always in
good shape. Low heels also pro-
mote better health. Patent leather
shoes are not e‘c0nomica1, and are
uncomfortable. Rubber heels are
comfortable because they prevent
jarring in walking.

you can find and get diagnosed.
Don’t just dash off to a harbor and
let him put things on; that's silly
and frequently ends in sure-’nuif

baldness. )1! you have dandruff, the _

. thorou' on“;
or in acne . i

falling kind, and your hair seems
dry, you haven’t real dandruff at

. all and it can be absolutely and eas-

ily cured by a good pomade. Your
“dandruff” is simply dead scales
from an undernourished scalp. If
your hair is oily, your dandruff is
a sort of superficial crust framed by
dust and scales and excess oil. This
same pomade will cure that, is doing
it every day, because it nourishes
the scalp and then the scalp feeds
the hair, and then the glands which
have been" leaking oil take a new
lease on life and, used in connection
with a cleansing, astringent tonic,
get back their verve.

Real dandruff, the germ kind,
sticks close to the head and, like
the parasite it is, saps the life out
of the hair. This kind is not very
common, happily, and it can be
cured, but‘it takes longer.

Treatment for falling dandruff is
massage every morning for five or
ten minutes. And there is only one
really right way to massage: Begin
at the nape of the neck, pressing the
thumb firmly into the base of the
skull and work‘with circular motion
around the neck to the ears. This
gets up the circulation quickly. Then
the scalp all over the head should
be lifted, pressed and kneaded in
circular sweeps of the finger tips and
cushion at the base of the palms un-
til the entire scalp is pink. Make
your circular motion back from the
face rather than toward it so that
the muscles of the face are lifted
rather than pushed down. Then use
a cleansing tonic once a week, to
free the scalp from scales and dirt,
and at least twice a week touch the
middle fingers to the pomade and
partng the hair in rows, go all over
the scalp with it. And every day of
the world brush your hair at least
ten minutes. You’ll not only lose
your dandruff, but you’ll find your
hair softer, shinier and much more
alive. There is a cleansing tonic
for oily hair, and one for dry, and a
special tonic for tired, “nervous”
hair. But all need the pomade if
there is dandrufi. And all need the
pomade three or four times a week
on the temples and where it is re-
ceding from the brow and the thin
place on the crown. a

The correct way to brush is with
even, steady strokes up away from
the scalp, every stroke touching the
scalpas if to make the hair stand
on end and then long sweeping
strokes down again to polish. Brush—
es should be kept as clean as you
hope your son’s character will be.
The bristles should be flexible. A
very stiff bristle is a lot of fun to
use but it doesn't polish and it does-
n’t~ cleanse,. and it very often irri-
tates the scalp. It is false economy
as most of you probably know, to
buy a cheap brush. A good one lasts
for years. When you brush the hair
use a towel and about every five
strokes wipe the brush off on the
towel. You’ll see how much brush-
ing cleanses. Wash the brush in
good, warm soapy water, swishing
it up _, down,‘rinse' in cold water

KITCHEN PEST CAN BE
nnsrnornn “

HE little, brown, field ant, also ‘

known as the corn\ root ant, is

a. troublesome and disagreeable
kitchen pest; but they are easily ex-
terminated through the use of poi-
son bait, according'to H. C. Severin,
entomologist at South Dakota State
College. . ’ v

To make a good bait, as much so-
dium arsenite or white arsenic 118'
can be piled on a quarter inch of the
end of a pen knife blade should be
added to a; mixture of water and
karq syrup—one-half .cup of each.
After stirring well, the bait should
be emptied into shallow vessels or
soaked up in sponges and the con-
tainers placed in those areas in
which ants are troublesome. The
metal tops of milk cans make good
containers for the bait. ;

If ants are coming through a
doorway a , smear 'of bait can be
drawn across their path, Séverin 
says. This. bait will rid a house of
ants in short order; but must be
repeated 'whenever necessary. If
the bait dries out, more water
should be added. ~

 

 

Personal Column

What Is Preserved Ginsen—I don't
know as I can add much helps but I have
a question to ask. What is preserved
ginger and can one make it with ginger
root .or could one use common ginger
tied 1n a bag or the root in place of it?

I have a recipe for ginger pears but
don’t think I could obtain the preserved
ginger anywheres near here, as we are
some distance from a large town.

Perhaps this is a little out of line but
—do you like to receive a nice long newsy
letter and then sigh and wish you could
ever think of more to say when you
write? Well I have the name of being
a good letter writer so I’ll tell you how
I do it.

Perhaps I make many mistakes in
grammar but I try to write plainly,
letters large enough so they can be read
without specs. Try and think over what
I’m gomg to write so it will convey the
meaning I intend it to. putting in neces-
sary commas will help. And always keep .
the last letter received till answered no
matter how old, then read slowly, and
then you can answer or tell about the
event they ask about and you may be
sure what you are telling will be of in-
terest. As you read the letter ideas will
come to you. Step reading and write
about it then go on thru the letter.
Should you want to add more. Set back
and think just what people/they know,
that you know, and what important things
have happened to those people and re—
cord them. My worst trouble is to stop
when I get started—Mrs. E.,~ Isabella,
County.

The Last Preliminary Details Before
Wedding.—-l. The bride alone, or (as
often is done nowadays) bride and groom
together, may have a “wed-ding" photo—
graph taken. in connection with the re-
hearsal,‘ in which the bride’s wedding
dress must show to the best advantage.

2. Some things the groom must do:
he must give the best man the fees for
clergyman and church organist, though
he does not deliver them. He must also
have provided all the incidentals for which
he is responsible in connection with the
ceremony. I

3. He .must have chosen his ushers and
decided on their aisle places.

4. He must have decided what his
ushers are to wear, and every item of his
own wedding clothes must have been laid
aside, ready for use‘

6. The bridegroom—if his best man is
competent—Will have nothing on 
on the day of the wedding save the wed-
ding itself. Yet there are some things
to which he must attend during the two
weeks preceding the event. He must pre-
pare in advance all the stations of his
projected honeymoon tour (whether long
or short), so that nothing is left to chance.
When all the details of hotel, steamer or
Pullman reservations has been attended
to, he hand over date and tickets to his
best man and forgets them for the time
being. ‘

Canned Beets—To can beets and veg-
etabsle I sent to a agricultural department
and got a bulletin or literature on cold
pack canning. Some folks think it too
much work to cold pack, but I think it
worth the time and work to put them up
and less in the winter time. I can this
Way altogether. I can shell beans, string
beans, besides corn. beets, and anything
that we like canned. When I want just
a simple meal I know where I can get it
and quickly too. To can beets cook them
first until done. rPeel them, cut so they
will fit in the can nicely, fill with hot and
then cook in a, false bot cm or pressure
cooker for‘three hours. eal tight before
you cook the last time. I used a clothes
boiler and I bought a canning rack to
fit it cover tight. Fill with cold water.
When warm put the cans in about eight
at a time. Don't time until the water
is boiling hard. This is to can peas and
corn. Some folks put water in the corn.
Mash it until it forms a juice on top of
the can. Seal tight.

Fruit Cake—Yolks of two eggs, two
cups brown sugar, one cup molasses, one
cup sour milk, one cup shortening, one
heaping teaspoon soda, fruit, spices, flour.

Sisters try this peanut buttcr frosting.
One cup sugar, one—half cup water, one
teaspoon vanilla, four tablespoons pea—
nut butter. Let water and sugar boil
until it threads, add peanut butter and
beat until almost 0001 and add flavoring.
This makes good candy only cook it a

EAR girls and boys: I awoke

~ in a strange world this morn-
. ing. Everything was covered
with snow. Only last night I noted
how lifeless and dreary nature look-
ed, with the trees stretching their
bare limbs toward a dull gray, sky
and the grass covered with brown
leaves, but this morning everything
has changed. Snow partly covers
the bare limbs of the trees ad is
spread out over the earth like a
great white blanket. while the sun
is shinning brightly. It reminds one
of their own life. You may have
several discouragements and then
see the world through dark-colored
glasses until you begin to. think
there is nothing worth while any
more, when something happens and
all is changed, and you are happy
once again. Or, as our office boy
says “You get your pep all back."

When things do not go just as they -

should, do not give up, wear a
smile and try that much harder.

You are bound to win, and anything

worth having is worth working for.
Another Contest

In our October 24th issue I sug-
gested that you write to us telling
about what you did Hollowe’en. I
am going to give $1 to the one who
sends in the best letter and a fount-
ain pen for the second best letter,
and a leatherette pencil case out-
fit for the'third best letter, (so I
hope you will all get busy. The
letters I have already received will
be counted in this contest. The con—
test closes November 20th, and let-
ters received after noon of that day
will not be considered—UNCLE
NED.

OUR GIRLS AND BOYS

Dear Uncle Nedz—I received my pin
and prize for my song and I thank you
ever so much for it. I fell proud to know
that my song .took second prize. I shall
try always to live up ‘Lo our motto and
my song also as I did mygbeevt to write
it. ‘

We have taken THE BUSINESS FARMER
as many years as I can remember be-
cause when I was old enough to know
how to read my brother and I used to
quarrel about the paper as to which one
of us would have it first and I well re-

member when I would read the letterS"
-to my mother and she often told me to

write a letter but I never did until this
year. Now I haven’t a mother to tell
me to write a letter as my mother died
three years ago. Now I will not wait for

'some one to tell me to write a letter.

Last year when I told my sister about
the nice letters that were in the paper
she would say “What is the use of read-
ing such silly letters”. She thought more



of reading a love story’th the letters
but I thought dimerent. ‘ - ,.

I do not go to school any more as I
passed the 8th grade last spring and be—
sides I are 16 years old now as my birth. 1
day was the 21st of September, but I'
was 15 yet when I wrote my song. How
old mustwe be before we quit taking part
in the “Children's. Hour" or is there no
.age limit as I want. to enjoy the 'Chil-
dren's Hour’ as long as I can.

I have a‘father, 7 brothers and 3 sis- a

tem. Four of .my_ brothers are'not at
home. I do all the cooking and baking
at home as my sisters are younger than"
myself and besidoe they go to school.

Our school is about forty rods from
our place so my brothers and sisters al-
ways come home for dinnen. We wash
up the dishes and then they go back' to
to school. ’ -

I, got my hair out. this summer so I

am in atfie now. My hair is brown. I

have brown eyes, black eye brows end
am nearly 6 feet 3' inches tall but I don’t
know my weight as I have not been
Weighed for a. couple of years so! don‘t
know. if I am too light or too heavy.

I am writing a story which I will send
to you some time. It is a. story of “Do
Your Best”. Winter Will soon be here
with its ice and now. ‘

The letter that “Wayside Rose" wrote
is very interesting. I must leave room
for some other lonely child to enter so
will come again. Your friend—Mildred
Brasgaila, Mullet Lake, Michigan.

How can I tell the female from the

a, Warm coop in winter? How old
should they be before they begin
laying?-——H. H. 1., Old Mission,
Michigan.
EESE are by nature, grazersrbe-
ing able to live on grass and
_ herbs, and requiring very little
or no grain feeding, until fall or
'winter. It is therefore, advisable
to have geese or goslings running
on a limited pasture range, and
sweet clover or alfalfa is preferable
for pasture. Water, except for drink—
ing purposes, is not essential, and
you can raise geese very successful-
ly furnishing them water to drink
but none to swim in.
Many Michigan farmers success-
fully start their goslings on a ration
of equal parts by weight of corn

, meal, and eat meal, moistened with

milk to a sloppy consistency, ’feed-
ing them this, three or four times
a day, and getting them out on a
tender grass pasture as soon as pos-
sible. _ For. early goslings, sprouted
oats is desirable.

Geese do not require warm houses
in the winter, a three sided shed op-
en on the south side, being all that
is necessary as they will squat in
the snow, even during the most se-
vere weather with no ill results.

‘Geese do not lay until at least a

year old, and in many cases not
until their second season, and they

become more valuable as breeders

each succeeding year. A good goose
should be retained as long as she 15
able to get around, and there are
several old geese in their 40th and
50th year still proving satisfactory
breeders.

The male can be distinguished
from the female by the appearance
of the male’s neck and head, being
heavier; they stand slightly higher
on the legs, are more pugnacious by
nature, and qupon approaching a

to show aggressiveness, and the

Was old Burr beginning to remember—-
remember that he was Benjamin Corvet?
Alan did not believe it could be that;
again and again he had spoken Corvet‘s
name to him without effect. Yet there
must have been times when, if he was
actually Corvet. he had remembered who
he was. He must have remembered that
when he had written directions to some
one to send those things to Constance
Sherrill; or, a. strange thought had come
to Alan. had he written those instructions
to himself? Had there been a moment
when he "had been so much himself that
he had realized that he might not be him-
self again and so had written the order
which later, mechanically, he had obeyed?
This certame wuuld account for the pack-
age having been mailede. at Manitowoc
and for Alan’s failure to find out by whom
it— had been mailed. It would account too
for the unknown handwriting upon the
wrapper. if some one on the ferry had
addressed the package’for the old man.
He must inquire whether any one muons
the crew had done that.

crops as wheat, beans or potatoes as
a cash app. and what kind.oflfistock
would you feed—hogs,- sheep or cat—
tle? I wish to work a. well-balanced
system of stock and grainfarming.
I have started into dai'rying and
poultry raising. What other lines
would you add for a better income?

My experience with a seventy-acre
farm fully convinces me that opera-
tions to the size of his farm and if
one man is to do most of the work,
he.can not add much, if any other
lines to the main industry of dairy-
ing and poultry raising. I doubt if
I should get real enthusiastic over
the dairy business-if I was alone on
a seventy—acre farm. The dairy is
all right where there are two or
more men, but for one man to run
a dairy farm, it means he will of
necessity be required to work longer
hours than man was intended to
work. If, however, he enjoys the
early and late hours and the rigid
steadiness of the work, he could
make a seventy-acre farm support
quite, a large dairy. Sweet clover,
alfalfa and ensilage would be his
standbys, but he would have little
time or land to devote to other lines
like beans or potatoes.

One man can scarcely make a go
of the potato farm. There is a heavy
demand for labor in the production
of potatoes, and one man would find
many times when he would be up
against it.

Yes, we specialize in potatoes but
there are two of us. If, for some
reason, I was left alone on the farm,
I should cut out the potato end of
the deal at once. I should keep a
large flock of hens—not less than
four hundred—and they would be
hens I would be proud of and I
would study their care and make
them a success. Our fields are so
arranged that hogs may “be pastured
in any of them, or crops could be
bogged down in any of them, so I
would specialize in the production
of pork. We have used hogs to
harvest various crops and they are
very cheap and efficient laborers and
one man could accomplish quite a
lot of work, if he was situated so he
could call on the hogs .at harvest
time.

If our Stockbridge friend does not
like the care of hogs and is inclined
to raise beans, I believe he would
do well with them. But far too
many consider beans 3. sort of fool
crop to raise, and raise them in sort
of a fool way. Beans are a much
abused crop. They get a poor place
and poorer care on many farms,
when really there is not a crop that
appreciates good soil, cultivation
and systematic attention more than
beans. Beans, at their best, demand
a place in a good rotation, and a
70-acre farm will not produce 25 or
30 acres ‘of beans each year, for very
long. It will, however, handle 12
or 15 acres, in a rotation that will
pay.

I fully appreciated this Stock-
bridge friend’s letter, and if he finds
time should like,to hear from him
again about what he is doing.

. FATTENING OOWS

Wish you would tell me how I
could fatten some cows. They are
running on good pasture and I am
givingthem oat and rye chop, but
they get so loose. What would you
advise to give them to make them
gain and not get loose?—-—-Subscrib-
er, Southern Michigan?

HE trouble which you are hav-
ing with these cows becoming
too laxative. is undoubtedly due

to the extremely wet weather and
resulting in a rank growth of grass
which is very washy.

If you want to fatten these cows

I believe that the best thing for you
to do would be to shut them up in
the stable and give them a dry feed.
While oats and rye chop mixed in
about equal parts is a fairly satis-
factory feed, I believe that you
would have better results, if in "ad-
dition to thisgrain you could also
feed them some shock corn. The
cows would eat all of the corn and
part of the stalks and would gain.
faster where'some corn-is being fed.

Amazing Results Secured In One Day By
Use of Virex Formerly Known As
Rattle .Snake Oil

above state—

 

Deafness and Head Noises need not be ~
dreaded any longer since the discovery of
a widely" known physician. Now it is
possible for some of the most obstinate
cases of deafness to be relieved in a day’s
time by the application of a prescription
formerly known as Rattle Snake Oil. This
treatment is meeting with wide success
all over the country.

Mr. D. M. Lopes, a Pennsylvania man,
says: “I used the treatment at night be-
fore retiring. The following morning I
could hear the tickings of the alarm clock
that I was unable to hear before. Now
my hearing is restored perfectly after
many years of deafness.” -

Mr. Ben Jackson, who lives in Indiana
says, “Before I used Virex I could hear
nothing. After ten days I could hear my
watch tick.” .

Angeline Johnson, a. Mississippi resident
had been stone deaf for eighteen years.
She says, “Virex has stopped my head
noises and I can hear the train whistle
31/2 miles away.” I

‘ Roy Fisher, Iowa man, says, “I hadn't
heard a watch tick for eleven years—now
I can lay my watch on the table and hear
it plainly." -

Mr. W. A. Lumpkin, of Oklahoma. says,
“After being deaf 38 years, I used your
treatment only a. few days. and hear fairly
well.”

Mr. Anthony Chapman, of Michigan,
says, “The terrible head noises have stop—
ped entirely and my hearing is practically
back to normal.

Deaf Baby Now Hears

Mrs. Ola Valentine, of Arkansas, says,
“My little boy, now 5 years old, had been
deaf since about 4 months of age. Now
he hears very well and is learning to talk.”

Mr. Mather Pelleys says, “My young
son, deaf for years. has used Virex for'
only three days and he hears almost as
well as ever before." - -

Such amazing reports come from all
over this country and'Canada.. The pre-
scription which is known as Virex, is
easily used at home and seems to work
like magic in its rapidity on people of
all ages. ’

So confident are We that Virex will re-
store your hearing quickly, and to intro-
duce this remarkable treatment to a mil-
lion more sufferers, we will send a large
$2.00 treatment for only $1.00, b collect

Cured His Rupture

I was badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said .my
only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly and com-
pletely cured me. Years have passed and
‘ the rupture has never returned. although
I am doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation. no lost time, no
trouble. “I have nothing to sell. but will

a cash crap, and what kindiofi-rstock ‘
would you feed—hogs,’ sheep or cats .
tle? ' I wish to work a well-balanced
system of stock and grain—farming.
I have started into dairying and
poultry raising. What other lines
would you add for a better income?

My experience with a seventy-acre
farm fully convinces me that opera-
tions to the size of his farm and if
one man is to do most of the work,
he,can not add much, if any other
lines to the main industry of dairy-
ing and poultry” raising. I doubt if
I should get real enthusiastic over
the dairy businessif I was alone on
a seventy-acre farm. The dairy is
all right where there are two or
more men, but for one man to run
a dairy farm, it means he will of
necessity be required to work longer
hours than man was intended to
work. If, hOWever, he enjoys the
early and late hours and the rigid
steadiness of the work, he could
make a seventy—acre farm support
quite, a large dairy. Sweet clover,
alfalfa and ensilage would be his
standbys, but he would have little
time or land to devote to other lines
like beans or potatoes.

One man can scarcely make a go
of the potato farm. There is a heavy
demand for labor in the production
of potatoes, and one man would find
many times when he would be up
against it.

Yes, we specialize in potatoes but
there are two of us. If, for some
reason, I was left alone on the farm,
I should cut out the potato end of
the deal at once. I should keep a
large flock of hens—not less than
four
hens I would be proud of and I
would study their care and make
them a success. Our fields are so
arranged that hogs may (be pastured
in any of them, or crops could be
bogged down in any of them, so I
would specialize in the production
of pork. We have used hogs to
harvest various crops and they are
very cheap and efficient laborers and
one man could accomplish quite a
lot of work, if he was situated so he
could call on the hogs .at harvest
time.

If our Stockbridge friend does not
like the care of hogs and is inclined
to raise beans, I believe he would
do well with them. But far too
many consider beans a sort of fool
crop to raise, and raise them in sort
of a fool way. Beans are a much
abused crop. They get a poor place
and poorer care on many farms,
when really there is not a crop that
appreciates good soil, cultivation
and systematic attention more than
beans. Beans, at their best, demand
a place in a good rotation, and a
70-acre farm will not produce 25 or
30 acres ‘of beans each year, for very

long. It will, however, handle 12
or 15 acres, in a rotation that will
pay.

I fully appreciated this Stock—
bridge friend’s letter, and if he finds
time should like to hear from him
again about what he is deing.

FATTENING COWS

Wish you would tell me how I
could fatten some cows. They are
running on good pasture and I am
giving them oa't and rye chop,,but
they get so loose. What would you
advise to give them to make them
gain and not get loose?—Subscrib-
er, Southern Michigan?

HE trouble which you are hav—
ing with these cows becoming
too laxative is undoubtedly due

to the extremely wet weather and
resulting in a rank growth of grass
which is very washy.

If you want to fatten these cows

I believe that the best thing for you
to do would be to shut them up in
the stable and give them a dry feed.
While oats and rye chop mixed in
about equal parts is a fairly satis—
factory feed, I believe that you
would have betterresults, if in ‘ad-
dition to thisgrain you could also
feed them some shock corn. The
cows would eat all .of the corn and
part of the stalks and would gain
faster where some corn is being fed,

Amazing Results Secured In One Day By

Deafness and Head DToises need not be

dreaded any longer since the discovery of l

a widely known physician. Now it is
possible for some of the most obstinate
cases ofvdeafncss to be relieved in a day’s
time by the application of a prescription
formerly known as Rattle Snake Oil. This
treatment is meeting with wide success
all over the country.

Mr. D. M. Lopes, a Pennsylvania man,
says: “I used the treatment at night be-
fore retiring. The following morning I
could hear the tickings of the alarm clock
that I was unable to hear before. Now
my hearing is restored perfectly after
many years of deafness.”

Mr. Ben Jackson, who lives in Indiana
says, “Before I used Virex I could hear
nothing. After ten days I could hear my
watch tick.” .

Angeline Johnson, a Mississippi resident
had been stone deaf for eighteen years.
She says, “Virex has stopped my head
noises and I can hear the train whistle
31/2 miles away." \

Roy Fisher, Iowa man, says, “I hadn’t
heard a watch tick for eleven years—now
I can lay my watch on the table and hear
it plainly.” -

Mr. W. A. Lumpkin, of Oklahoma. says,
“After being deaf 38 years, I used your
treatment only a few daysand hear fairly
well.”

Mr. Anthony Chapman, of Michigan,
says, “The terrible head noises have stop-
ped entirely and my hearing is practically
back to normal.

Deaf Baby Now Hears

Mrs. Ola Valentine, of Arkansas, says,
“My little boy, now 5 years old, had been
deaf since about 4 months of age. Now
he hears very well and is learning to talk.”

Mr. Mather Pelleys says, “My young
son, deaf for years. has used Virex for
only three days and he hears almost as]
well as ever before." ‘

Such amazing reports come from all
over this country and‘Canada.. The pre-
scription which is known as Virex, is
easily used at home and seems to work
like magic in its rapidity on people of
all ages. ’

So confident are we that Virex will re-
store your hearing quickly, and to intro-
duce this remarkable treatment to a mil-

lion more sufferers, we will send a large " s

$2.00 treatment for only $1.00, by collect
on delivery mail, on ten days’ free trial.
If the results are not Satisfactory the
treatment costs nothing.

Send no money—just your name and,

address to the Dale Laboratories, 1017

it according to the simple directions. If

, 'HAT old skunk that‘you saw:

,I

‘ down in the woods—-his fur
will be getting prime pretty
soon now, and he will be worth
some money if you harvest him and
send his skin to some place where
it will make a fancy trimming for
a lady’s coat.
Surprising as it is to some people

nois~is one of the important fur pro-
ducing states. We don’t have any
bears or panthers nor many wild
wolves any more. ' .But that isn’t
where the fur comesfrom. Thou-
sands of small trappers, each maka
ing a nice bit~of money from it, send
in an aggregate of a very large
amount of fur skins every year.
Most of these skins go to St. Louis
which is the leading fur market of
the world.

Skunk was not very popular until
a few years ago. Its name was
against it. But first it was brought
out under another name, and people
began to learn that it really was a.
handsome and durable fur. Now it
is regarded as one of the staples of
the middle West. 1
There is a great deal to learn
about how. to handle traps and
snares, and what it is that makes
animals come to one set and stay
away from another. Much of this
art was well known to the Indians
and the earlier settlers of this coun-
try, but has been forgotten by some
of the present generation.

For example, if a trap has been
handled by the trapper with bare
hands, the man scent stays with it
and the animal stays away. There
are methods of preparing the traps
so that there is no man scent re-
maining on them. Much of the in—
formation of this kind can be ob-
ltained by reading the methods of

 

old experienced trappers.

Some of the habits of individual
animals and methods of trapping
them will be discussed in later is-
sues. Get out your trapping equip-
ment, send for the catalogs, look
over the creek banks and the holes
in the ground back in the timber,
and get ready for the season—Illi-
nois Farmer. ’

ARLINGTON THIE SIGNALS
ANY readers have expressed an
interest in knowing how the
transmission of the time sig-
nals is accomplished. This trans-
mission according to records was
first carried out twenty years ago.
The signals are sent out through
coastal radio stations connected
with Western Union Telegraph lines
from the United States Naval Ob-
servatory at Washington, D. C.
[Making use of a system of relays in
electrical circuits, the, second beats
of a standard clock in the observa—
tory are sent out broadcast as a ser-
ies of radio dots beginning five min-
utes before the time for the final
signal.

Some of the stations transmitting
the time signals are Washington
NAA on 2500 meters; Annapolis
NSS on 17000 meters; Key West
NAR on 1500 meters; New Orleans
NAT on 1000 meters; Balboa Pana-
ma NBA on 7000 meters; Colon
Panama NAX on 1500 meters; Ca-
vite P. I. NPO on 952 and 5000
meters; North Head Washington
‘NPE on 2800 meters; Eureka Cali—
fornia NPK on 1512 meters; San
Diego, California. NPL n 9800 and
2400 meters; San Franc1sco Califor—
nia ‘NPH on 4800 and 2400 meters;
Great- Lakes Illinois NAJ on 1512
meters; Pearl Harbor Hawaii NPM
on 11200 and 600 meters. All sta—
tions below 4800 meters in this
group operate on “spark” transmit-
ters while those above operate on
are transmitters. /

Broadcasting stations such as
KDKA are now receiving these time
signals and rebroadcasting them on
a lower wave length. Such action
makes it possible to obtain the time
signals without change of receiving
equipment.

Beginning at five minutes before”
the hour on which the time signals
close, the transmission of a series
of dots is started. .One dot is Sent

Country Never So Prosperous As New

Farmers Are Making Improvements onTheir F anus and
Adding Materially to the Valve of their Farms
By W. W. FOOI‘E, Market Editor.

, EVER before was the country so
I prosperous as now, and this is
‘ reflected in the enormous spec—
ulation in railway and industrial
stocks, uuusually low rates of inter-
est having brought about startling
,booms on the New York Stock Ex-
1change. Down in Florida there is a
éwonderful boom in land, and people
:get rich over. night, while outsiders
are.,looking on and wondering when
the bubble will burst, for that is the
fate of most bubbles. Prosperity in

wl-the middle west agricultural region

[and a record breaking movement. of
.commodities this autumn are provmg
a boon to the western railroads, and

. their annual earnings are registering

\extremely well, those of the Illinois
.Central Railroad Company being not
Ifar from its highest records. The
‘low rates of interest affect conserva-
ttive investors in high grade munici—
5pal and corporation bonds unfavor—
ably, however, and many municipal
‘bonds are netting buyers only around
‘414 to 4% per cent. Extending our
:survey to the vast farming interest of
the country, it may be stated without
'fear of contradiction that farmers

«now have an exceptional opportunity

*to place their farm indebtness on a
‘low interest basis. The Federal Land
thanks have reduced their interest
charges to 5 per cent, and Joint Stock
fLand bank loans can now be secured
‘at 51,4 per cent. And it is now re-
ported that some banks are willing
to renew their old loans at 5 per cent.
It should be added that in all in—
stances these rates of interest apply
only to good first mortgages on farm
flands. With the return of prosperi-
’ty to agriculture and keener compe-
ltition in industrial employment, the
{beginning of a “back to the land”
imovement is discerned by observers,
'and for the first time in years there
is a drift back to the farms. Further-
‘more, farmers are as a class making
(improvements on their farms and
:adding materially to the actual
values of their farmes.

It is interesting to note as an event
of the times that President Coolidge,
as a Vermont farmer, and Secretary
or Agriculture Jardine are coming to
.Chicago on December 7 to meet
farmers from all over the country.
‘Nearly three thousand farmers are
r to be present. Eighteen hundred
‘county farm bureaus in 45 different
states will be represented at the
, meeting to discuss and act on legis-
‘lative questions with special refer-
‘ence to cooperative marketing and
tariff, taxation, transportation, par-
ticularly the rate increase proposed
|by western railroads, and river and
7canal navigation. Rural electrifica-
‘vtion, farm fire losses and farm boys’
‘and girls' club work have a definite
‘place on the program.

Wheat Is Worth $1.50
Placing wheat on a higher basis
has been a slow process at best, and

 

 

 ' it has happened that whenever wheat

Ihas advanced to nearly $1.50 a re-
1action has followed, with active sell-
;ing. It begins to look a little more
bullish, however, and the other day
‘it touched $113015, comparing With
§$1.41 a year ago and around $1 _a
1 little more than two years ago. _It is
1 centainly expressing it conservatively
. to say that the sentiment of the trade

. 'on the Chicago Board of Trade is

, that wheat is legitimately worthly at
‘least $1.50 on its merits. HoweVer,
f there are still numerous bears in the
I-wheat ring, and what is required to
establish a permanently higher mar-
ket is a fairly active export move-
.ment of wheat and flour from this
country. Thus far strength has been
due in great part to mere speculation,
and Canadian competition has been a
powerful disturbance in fixing prices.

‘ plying European importing countries.

year, December, delivery selling
around 75 cents, comparing with
$1.06 a year ago. Oats for December
delivery sells around 39 cents, or
about the same as a year ago; while
December rye sells at 82 cents, com-
paring with $1.23 a year ago. The
world's rye crop is nearly 39 per
cent larger than last year, and there
is a poor foreign demand. ,
The United States has little or no
wheat to spare, as J. P. Grimn views

weeks. All this undoubtedly exerted
aniniiuence in hastening the market-
ing of cattle, and within recent weeks,
the receipts in Chicago and other
western markets reached unusually
liberal proportions, as happened a
year ago. The consumption of beef
was as large as ever, but because—of
the enormously large, offerings of
beef cattle, sensational declines in

prices took place week after week.

Recently the bulk of the steers found
buyers at $8 to $13.50, with common
to fair light weights at $6.50 to $8
and the better class of 7 long fed
weighty steers going at $14 to
$15.75, while the best yearlings went
at $13 to $14.75. No good steers
went below $10, and butcher cows
and heifers sold at $4 to $13. Calves

 

 

 

DAMAGE CU TS MICHIGAN BEAN CROP

AT 3 meeting of the Michigan Agricultural Economics Comndflee
in Lansing on Monday, November 2nd, at most careful study was

made of the bean situation in Michigan to determine the condi-
-tion of this year’s crop and learn if possible how the quantity would
compare with the 1924 crop. The committee, composed of Clarence
Diehl of Lansing, Jas. McBride of Burton, M. L. Moon of Jackson, A.
B. Cook 01" Owosso, Chas. Scully of Almont, Dr. J. T. Homer" of
M. S. 0., R. Waterbury of Detroit, Mrs. Dora Stockman of Lansing,
C. H. Bramble of Lansing, Rep.'B1nl Vincent of Saginaw, and Milon
Grinuell of Mount Clemens, studied all available statistics and dis-
cussed personal observations, and all agreed they believed the amount
of marketable pea beans in Michigan would be about the same as
last year. The government estimate of October 1st gave Michigan a
larger crop but heavy damage from rains since then has been reported
from all been growing sections of the state bringing the loss up to

about 25 percent of the crop.

Reliable reports from other states

indicate they will have about as many pea beans on the market this
year as they did last, and farmers in some states are inclined to hold

their crop, believing prices should be higher.

thinks Canada must supply the
world’s needs for months, or until

for market. In this respect he says
that Canada occupies the same posi-
tion the United States did last year
and will probably get a higher price
as the world’s demand must center on
that crop. He predicts a substantial
advance for prices in Chicago and
Winnipeg. -
Cattle Rushed to Market

stocker and feeder trade was animat-
ed, as large receipts resulted in a
lower scale of prices, sales ranging
steers at $4.50 to $8.75, mainly at $6
to $7.50, stock cows and “heifers
fetching $3.75 to $5.75. A year ago
beef steers sold at $6.50 to $12.90,
nine years ago at $6 to $12.05 and
back in 1907 at $3.10 to $6;70.

Large Marketing of Hogs

As is so apt to be the case, the
lower prices go,
stockmen seem to be to get their
holdings shipped to market, fearing
that prices will ultimately fall much
lower. Recently the best strength-
ening factor was the pronounced im-

' provement in the demand for hogs to

During that afternoon, besides the

for use on the farm! No other manufacturer

can point to so sweeping a testimonial on.the

part of those who buy radio on the combined

basis of pleasure and business;

“I bought our Crosley,” he wrote, “because radio.
my wife felt that she and the children shouldn’t
be missing the concerts being broadcast every
night. And it was ‘worth the money just to
have an entertainment corner in our home. But
I use the radio every day—in my business! It
lets me watch the market quotations Closely.
Last month I made money by following tips
broadcast by the Farm Bureau, once on hay and
again on potatoes. The fact is, I couldn’t get
along Without our Crosley!”

There is a Crosley dealer in some nearby town—
write Department 35 for his name and an illus—
trated catalog. Drop in at his store and examine

the Crosley Radios that cost from $9. 75to $60.

That’s the beauty of radio on the farm. By

night the music of some famous orchestra, the
wit of a well-known Broadway star. By day, the
leading national events-~— speeches of prominent
men, World’s Series games, football matches,
and lectures on hundreds of subjects—to say
nothing of daily weather reports, frost warnings
and other information that the farmer needs, and
needs tooncr' than he can get through his localpapers.

The farmer has not been COntent merely to buy

Note the extreme moderation of the prices—
the lowest of any reputable manufacturer. This
is possible because Crosley, building hundreds
of thousands of radio sets, gives you exactly the

same sort of big-production savings that Ford '_

gives you in automobiles.

By all means create an entertainment corner—‘—
and let the Crosley, you buy pay for itself by its
daily savings!
