BEAN PEST BATTLE LINE
MOVES NORTH

E United States department of
agriculture is,....maklng prepar-
ations to wage an intensive bat—
tle with the Mexican bean beetle in
the great lakes region. The bureau
of entomology has moved its bean
beetle laboratory from Birmingham,
Ala., to Columbus, Ohio, from which
the department entomologists will
work in 1926 in an effort to keep‘
the pest out of the main bean pro—
ducing sections of New York and

Michigan. \ 7
Observations during the past year
show the beetle to be a more danger—
ous pest in the hilly and mountain—
ous regions than in the plains coun—
try, the federal entomologists re-
port. The beetles continye to spread
northward through Ohio last year
and now are well established along

the southern shores of Lake Erie.

 

24 PER CENT JUMP IN ALFALFA

Might Have Been worse For Farmers

Michigan Legislature Ends Stormy Three Weeks of Deliberations

HAT 1926 is a political year was
evident during the recent spe-
cial session of the Michigan

StateLegislature. The fall elections‘
cast their shadow before them and
on many questions the way-in which
a member voted was determined
pretty largely by whether or not he
was an administration supporter.
This sensitive political situation add/
Un-
doubtedly it was responsible for a
considerable” portion of the flood of
oratory which characterized the de-
bates on the several controversial
issues which were considered.

It is nothing new that the matter
of highway finance should be one of
the chief battle fields of legislative
controversy. While no proposals
were ofifered to change the gas tax
or weight, tax as they affect the mo-
torists, two measures to readjust the

distribution of the revenues so'
raised were introduced. These were
the Atwood and Kirby bills. The

real aim of each was to place more
funds under the control of the State
Administration.

When the special session con-
vened it was evident to all that the
farmers had much to lose and noth-
ing to gain from the various propos-
als which were offered. The final re-
sult could have been a lot worse
from our point of view. True, the
Kirby bill was passed with a pro-
vision reducing the amount which

’- the counties will receive during 1926 '

on past—due awards from $2,000,000
to $1,000,000. However, this .bill
definitely recognizes claims of the
‘townshipS’from the State, amount-
ing to sbme $225,000 and sets defin-
ite dates for the payment of these
several accounts. None of them are
repudiated, although the payment
to the counties for 1926 was cut in
half. In future years the payments
Will‘be at the rate of $2,000,000 8
year until all such delinquent ac-
counts are settled in full.

Lansing Correspondent of THE BUSINESS FARMER.

While the administration f6rces

sage of the Kirby bill, they suffered

the Atwood bill.during‘the closing
hours of the session.
the Senate this measure would have
increased the appropriation of weight
tax revenue for maintenance of the
State trunk line highways from $2,—
000,000 to $4,000,000 per year, but
would have discontinued all State
aid for the maintenance of non-
trunk line highways. This latter pro-
vision of the bill met the determined
opposition of the House and was
stricken out. The Senate refused to
accept the House amendment so the
bill was thrown into the hands of a
conference committee. This com—
mittee finally arrived at a‘ comprom-
ise, but the compromise was refused
by the House, so the bill was lost.

Throughout the consideration of

the two highway bills many mem-
bers expressed resentment at being
asked to turn over more funds to
the State highway authorities until
they had been informed as to how
the more than $22,000,000 raised by
the gas and weight taxes during
1925 had been expended. It is com-
mon knowledge that while the gas
tax law provides that $1, 500, 000
was to be returned to the counties
.during 1925 to apply on delinquent
highway awards, nothing at all was
returned to the counties to apply
-on this account during 1925 and
even yet only $1,000,000 has been
distributed. Futhermore, the State
awards for non—trunk line mainten-
ance have not been paid during'the
past few years. , f

Solons Charge Secrecy
In view of the foregoing facts
many Representatives were not dis—
posed to take kindly to the demands

._of the administration for more'funds

As passed by-

to be spent under State supervision.
In arguing against the Kirby bill,
Rep. Charles Evans of Tipton de-
clared, “There has no emergency oc—
curred to make this bill necessary.
The weight and gas tax have brought
in $2,000,000 more than the esti-
mates. I see no reason for this
legislation. It is totally unwarrant-
ed and uncalled for. If you pass this
bill deferring payments to the coun—
ties you are robbing Peter to pay
Paul. The overburdened real estate
owner should not be so treated.
Peter has been robbed so often he is
suffering. Because of‘ the increased
tax burden, the improved roads have
resulted in decreasing the value of
farm property in Michigan. "

After commanding the attention
of the House for many hours, the
Warner bill, legalizing the use of
auto plates until February 1 of the
following year, was passed by that
body and promptly approved by the
Senate during the closing hours of
the final night of the session. In
support of this measure the argu-
ment was advanced that with other
taxes and Christmas ‘expenses, the
poor man ought to have time to
catch his breath and recuperate his
finances before being required to
purchase new auto license piates.

That Grand Trunk .Deal

The first of the enactments of the
recent session to be signed by the
Governor was the law empowering
him to enter into a contract with
the Grand Trunk railroad company
whereby the State will procure and
construct a new railroad right- of—
way for about eight and one-half
miles between Birmingham and Roy-
al Oak and exchange this right— of—
way for the one now used by the
railroad. The State will finance this
transaction out of its highway sink—
ing fund and the railroad with re-

Michig'an Fruit Growers Gathered At» Benton Harbor

By HERBERT NAFZIGER

Editor Fruit and Orchard Department, THE BUSINESS FARMER

IX hundred information seeking
fruit growers attended a two-
day meeting at Benton Harbor

February 24 and 25. The occasion
was the annual meeting of the Ber-
“rien County Horticultural Society,
held in conjunction with the State
Horticultural Society. A varied and

. up—to-date program was in readiness

and Was keenly enjoyed by all who
attended. An exposition of spray
materials, nurSery stock, fruit pack-
ages, and orchard machinery was
held in connection with the meeting.

. The meeting opened with an address

of welcome by Mr. Guy Tyler, City
Manager of Benton Harbor, who
stressed the necessity far ,better co-
oepration between city and country,
and stated that city business men
-everywhere now recognize the farm-
er as their best customer. .

“Planting a young black raspber-
ry and keeping it 'free from disease."
This subject Was very ably handled

_ by Mr. H. D. Hootman'pf'M. S. 0.,

who is also secretary of the State
Seeiety. “The black raspberry is
very exacting as to soil -and loca-
tion.” said Mr. Hootman. 'A deep
sandy loam soil is to be'preferred

disease infection and results in weak
unproductive plants. The growers
were strongly advised to set only
disease—free plants and to keep dis-
ease out of the field by careful
rogueing, thorough spraying, and
prompt removal of old canes after
harvest.

Mr. Hootman stated that reduc—
tion of production costs constituted
one of the best openings for better
profits in the growing of “black-
caps.” A recent M. S. C survey
showed that costs of production in
Michigan range all the way from
$1.16 to $2.75 per crate wth an av-
erage cost of $2.32. Low yields, due
to poor locations and prevalence of
disease were said to be largely re-
sponsible for these high costs.

Prof. Starr Talks

Prof. Georges Starr of M. S. C.
spoke on the culture of\melons, as-
‘paragus and tomatoes. Prof. Starr
especially,emphasized the present
'-opportunity in asparagus growing.
Small acreage, strong and increasing
demand, and high profits per acre
was given as the present status of
this crop in Michigan. An aspara-
gus bed once established, was said

to remain almost indefinitely, bug.

'lits commercial limit was placed 8.

approximately 29 years. The planta- .-
i .

21,9 feet apart, in rows 5 feet apart,
and about 4 years are required to
bring a plantation into full produc—
tion. Applications of commercial
fertilizers should be made in July
‘and the tops should be allowed to
grow unhindered after the cutting
season. “Mary Washington” was
said to be the best rust~resistant va-
riety in existence.

Touching 011 melon culture Prof.
Starr advised against raising melons
where melons had been grown the
previous season, and “John Baer”
was said to be the best late, can-
ning tomato variety.

Compares North and South

“Fruit growing in Northern
Michigan compared with fruit grow—
ing in Southern Michigan” was the
subject of an address by George Fri-
day, presideht of the State Horticul-
tural Society. Mr. Friday owns
fruit land in both sections. Larger
and surer cherry crops no San Jose
scale, no peach yellows, and less
fire-blight were given, as some of
Northern Michigan’s outstanding ad-
vantages. _ Southern Michigan’s ad-
vantages are better markets, ability
to ripen grapes, larger size in ap—

Iples, faster growing trees, and low-

or cbst of bringing an orchard to
beating age, ‘ .

, and additional

imburse the State at the rate of
$200,000 per year principal pay-
ments, with no interest.

When the advance has been paid
in full, the Grand Trunk will surren-
der its special charter under which
it has been operating for the past 92
years and which specified, among
other provisions, that its taxes
should be limited to only a little
over $25,000 a year. When this
special charter is abrogated the
Grand Trunk will come under the
general railroad law and will pay
about $350,000 per year into the
primary school fund. The State
will use the old railroad right—of-
Way for the development of the
Wider Woodward Avenue project.

Appropriation bills that finally
passed during the special session in—
cluded Rep. Dexter’s bill, providing
$750,000 for a new main building
and library at the Mt. Pleasant Nor—
mal to replace structures recently
destroyed by fire, and Senator
Bohn's bill appropriating an addi-
tional $500,000 for a continuation
of the construction of the new
State prison at Jackson. The regu—
lar session of the Legislature pro-
vided $1,000,000 for this project,
but the Governor informed the Leg-
islature that construction had pro-
gressed so rapidly that the funds ap-
propriated would soon be exhausted
money should be
made available for continuing the
work.

When the Legislature had
substantial progress on the four pro-
positions included in the Governor’s
message, he submitted a supple-
mentary message, allowing a score
or more of additional measures to
be considered. Most of the proposi-
tions were technical in their nature,
and either were amendments to reo-
tify errors in existing statutes or
were of interest chiefly to the big
cities.

dling a fruit farm for best profits,”
and described the cultural and mar-
keting practices which he has found
successful.

“Spraying to reduce the spray
bill" was the contribution of Prof.
H. A. Cardinell of M. S. C. who
stressed the necessity of thorough—
ness in spraying and stated that the
average grower does not use enough
spray material per tree. One man
with one spray gun, spraying from
the top of the tank and using a high
capacity rig was said to be the most
efficient and least costly spraying
method. ‘ Much discussion followed
this talk and many questions were
answered by Prof. Cardinell.

Mr. H. P. Gaston repeated his ex—
cellent lecture on “Why is a cull
a cull.” This talk was given at the
annual meeting of the State Society
at Grand Rapids in December and
a detailed report of the same is
found in the December 19th issue
of THE BUSINESS FARMER. ‘

“A. B. C. in Beekeeping” was g'iv-

en by Edwin Ewell of M. S. C. who 3

also explained the importance of the
honey bee to the fruit grower.

Mr. Martin Dwan, president of the
Berrien County Horticultural Soci- .
ety made a plea for stricter regula-
tion of roadside marketing stands.

Peach- culture was discussed by
Mr= F. Barden, a leading peach,
grower at South Haven, and-the
meeting ended with a clear, concise, _
illustrated talk on the 1926 spray

calendar by F. L. Simanton, Berrien ‘
countys able and popular agent.

' HEN Mrs. Kate L. Haufstater's-
’ husband died and left her with
" 3 two smalll boys to bring up
falo’ne, she ’began to ponder on the
best way to do this. Her husband
had been a grain elevator man and

and one of the prosperous men of a

small Michigan town.

Eighteen years ago with her boys
of six and eight years, she came to
.Freesoil township, Mason county,
and bought a farm of 40 acres. The
term, though not worn out, was bad-
ly run down, much of it light soil.
With no experience in farming, she
; began to learn the business, literal-
‘ - ly "from the ground up”—-—and

down. “‘

' Much of the work she did herself.
The first year she put in corn and
garden produce and carefully cared
for the small peach and apple or-
chard. The next year she learned to
. prune and spray, each year doing a

. little more with the orchards. 'She
began to set out more fruit trees

and berries. Sowing vetch in the
orchards and turning it under
for fertilizer . was one of her

first ventures in building up the
land. Believing in cows for keeping
up the fertility of the soil, she
lacked the time and sufficient help
‘for adding many cows to her other
work, so she began to sow clover
and turning it under has built up
the land until the fruit on this place
is one of the wonders of the com-
munity.

Fifteen years ago Mrs. Haufstat-
er, who is now Mrs. Reinsch, bought
80 acres of adjoining land, which
had a fine apple orchad of 150 apple
trees of good varieties. This or-
chard was tended carefully and in
one year produced a crop which sold
for $3,500. Later on she bought
another adjoining farm with another
apple orchard. Besides these three
apple orchards the 160 acres has
nearly all been set out to peach,
cherry, and plum trees.

When she remarried fifteen years
ago, Max Reinsch, her husband,
soon became so interested in fruit
that he is now getting just as pro—
fitable return from the orchard on

. HE farm lease is to the landlord
what insurance is to both and
no one questions the value of

insurance, yet we find many farms

being operated without this very
necessary piece of equipment. As
long as business operations move
smoothly and each party deals
squarely with the "other the farm
lease is forgotten but allow a ques—
tion to arise and it is immediately
referred to, which only goes to prove
the importance of a thoroughly pre—
pared review of the mutually agreed
upon .ideas of both landlord and
tenant.
50-50 Contract ,
There are several kinds of leases
but the one most 00mmonly in use is
the one known as the 50—50 contract
in which the landlord furnishes
the farm .and buildings, one-half
.the live stock, and one—half the seed.
taking in return one—half the pro-
. duce from the livestock and one—half
; “ the produce from the farm. To off-
set this the tenant furnishes the
help and equipment to farm the
land in a good and thorough man-
ner. .
g In any lease regardless of kind
those ’factors which should receive
first consideration are descriptions
7101' properties and reservations of
'i’both the landlord and the tenant
’nd it is around the latter that all
the leases are built. Since the land-
V ' owner of the property or re-
e for it and his interest rep-

HEN we read this article on» what a Mason count-y farm woman
has accomplished and what she is doing right along every day
we began to wonder who applied the term “weaker sex" to the

women folks, and if they meant all women when [they said it. Cer-
tainly it fails to apply to Mrs. Reinsch, as well as many other farm
women whose accomplishments fail to appear in print.

Since this article was prepared Mrs. Reinsch attended FarmersJ
Week at M. S. C. and took a short course in horticulture given during
the week following. Poof. D. F. Rainey, of the college, recently in- -
spected her 1925 crop of Golden Glow seed corn, of which she raised
enough to plant 1.000 acres. Germination is 95 per cent and the
entire crop is being sold at a good price. ‘ ' '

We tried to secure a picture of Mrs. Reinsch to publish at this
time but were unsuccessful as she will not allow anyone to take her

_ picture, if she knows it.

We would like to receive stories on other farm women of Michi-
gan who have made an outstanding success in some bnanch of farm-
ing, or of farming as a whole, to publish, and will gladly pay for any
that we can use. .

R. TENAN’T, have you a. written lease with the owner of the farm
hi you are going to work this year, or just a verbal agreement?
How about you, Mr. Landlord, are you protected, and also
your tenant, with a written agreement signed by all parties concerned?
We wish that all farm landlords and tenants in Michigan could truth-
fully say they had a written agreement, but if the figures were avail-
able we doubt if more than 25 per cent could make such a statement.
Verbal leases leave too many opportunities for misunderstanding or
forgetting, but when it is written and signed it cannot be forgotten
and there is little excuse for misunderstanding. It is doing business
on a business-like basis to have a written lease, and we urge you to
study this article by Howard Kittle on the 50-50 contract most com-
monly used in Michigan.

 

 

all crops or crop residue and all live
stock at~ the termination of. the
lease. He should reserve the right
to inspect the record of sale of crops
and live stock, especially in a con-
tract which operates on the one-half
basis.

On the other hand the tenant
should be equally careful of the re-
servations granted and those which
he must make in order to protect
his interest, for we find: that human
nature runs about 50-50, too. First
of all after the opening paragraph,
which should be included in any
~lease, the tenant should be provided
with peaceable possession, and in
case the leased property is solfi dur—
ingthe life of the contract and it
becomes necessary to vacate his in-

This clause should be followed by
reservations. Proper and foremost
among these is the right of entry to
the property in question. No land-
lord should be excluded or prevent-
ed from an inspection of buildings,
fences, live stock or crops which at
any time. might be growing on his
leased property. He should reserve
the right to harvest crops when un-
due negligence is causing waste or
damage. '

If any buildings or parts or-par—
cels of land are to be reserved they
should be geographically defined
with relation to the farm proper and
explicit mention made of them. The
landlord may reserve the right of
in question,
safeguarding the tenant’s interest as
will be explained later. He should
by all means reserve the right to
prevent the tenant from engagingin
other operations which: Would take

One of the beautiful sights in this _
community is the new orchard of g
cherry, peach, and apple trees set .
out two years ago by both Mr. and
Mrs. Reinsch. The orchard covers
two "hills and valleys which ’are
spread out in such a‘way that each
tree shows up from the highway.

Rows of red kidney beans between
the trees. without a weed anywhere,
brought in profitable returns last
year While the orchard was growing.
A part of, the new orchard last year
was sowed to peas for fertilizer. So
good was the-growth that $290.00
worth of green peas were picked and
sold before turning under the green
vines for fertility.

Also Grows Certified Seed

Besides her orchards, Mrs. Reinsch
has been successful in growing cer—
tified seed corn and potatoes. Two
years ago she grew and sold through
the Michigan Crop Improvement As-
sociation, enough Golden Glow Seed :
Corn for planting 1500 acres of. "
corn. She won a blue ribbon in a
state wide contest given at the Mich—
igan State College last winter, with
her Golden Glow corn. Her seed
corn brought $6.00 per bushel for
certified and $8.00 for registered.

Her last two orders for seed corn
last spring went to British Columbia
and to Texas. Mrs. Reinsch became
interested in growing certified crops
when she began attending the Mich-
igan State College for short courses
given for farmers.

Forty-seven Years Old

Mrs. Reinsch is forty-seven and
lays her good health to her busy out-
door. life. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Reinsch do all their own pruning
and spraying. Mrs. Reinsch farms
the 120 acres of the 160 indepen—
dently of Mr. Reinschp '

She Weighs only a little over 100
pounds but is strong and seems to
be able to stand more work than
most women. Her outdoor Work
keeps her in fine trim. In khaki
suit and high-topped shoes, she goes

 

from one end of the farm to the
other all day long.

sion and should reserve the right to
demand adequate protection against
these factors over which he has no
control. The tenant should also \re—
serve the right to effect a complete
settlement or sale of crops or crop
residue and live stock after the land—
lord's lein is satisfied.
Mutual Agreements

There are of course such mutual
agreements embodied in the con-
tract as fields on which certain crops
shall be sewn, drawing of barn yard
manure, hauling of lime and fertil-
izer, the delivery of grain to market,
the keeping open of ditches, the re-
pair of fences, purchasing of binder
coal for fuel and threshing
or the cutting of wood, the furnish-
ing of help for threshing and like
operations, the amount of expense
to be b‘ourne in the purchase of ,
grain and leguminous seeds and
other farm crops and the basis of
participation within the limitation
of the contract.

There is also another clause that
may be embodied in any contract at
the discretion of either landlord or
tenant, depending on their know-
ledge of one another, and that is an
arbitration clause which prevents a
dispute from being taken into court.
This clause may be drafted in sev-
eral different ways but usually it is
made up so that the aggrieved party,
appoints one representative, the agi
grievor one and the two representa—
tives thus chosen meet and select
one other, making: a board of three.
This board meets, hears the evi-
‘dence of both: sides and renders a
written decision, which if signed by ,
.two members, becomes .«binding and
shall be respected ,by both parties
thereto. “ This board ' of , arbitration _\

Consistent use of the John Deere-

you to conserve for your growing
crops the moisture and plant food
which the weeds take from the soil.
It is estimated that weeds rob the
average farm of 25 per cent of its
productivity.

The John Deere-Syracuse Weed
Destroyer completely destroys the
weeds, uprooting them and bringing
the underground root stems to the
surface, where they can be left to dry
and then be hauled away.

The sharp carbon steel teeth pul-

resulting in well-made, productive

It's called "the di 11 ’est tool."

TRANSPORTING CHILD TO
SCHOOL

Could I be paid for taking my boy
to school? He has two miles and
three-quarters to go to school. He
has bad roads and is small for his
age. He is seven years old. Other
people are paid for taking their
children to school at that distance.
———Mrs. S., Rosebush, Mich. '

HE school board'of any school
district have authority if they
see fit to pay for transportation

for pupils living in their districth
the school maintained in their dis-
trict, but whether they do is discre-
tionary with them. Each individual
case must be decided by the school
board upon its merits.

Children under nine years of age
who live more than two and a half
miles from the schoolhouse in their
district can not be compelled to at—
tend unless transportation is far-
nished.-—-G. N. Otwell, Dept. of Pub—

lic Instruction.

 

. EACH ‘PAY W
' A rents his farm to B on shares,
each to furnish half and receive
halt. During the summer the pas-
ture becomes short. They rent a
field of a neighbor for pasture and
turn in the milk cows. Should each

. pay half the same as they would fer

hay and grain?"——M. S., Hfllsdale
County.

ENTING extra pasture «would be
the same as purchasing extra
feed. There is no labor enter-

ing into the production of pasture
feed; therefore, both parties should
share the pasture costs equally in
the above case. —F. T. Riddell, Re-

LEGAL RATE OF INTEREST

If a man had a mortgage on his
land would the man that made the
loan have a
than 7 per cent interest, and what
could I dowith it, or could they
charge 7 per cent on any kind of a
l‘oan. For instance, if ‘I had a note
due and they had no security” could
they collect?——B. D. Pinconning,
Michigan. ‘ ‘

ORE than seven per cent inter-
est is usury in Michigan and
anything in— excess of this

amount cannot be collected. 'The
fact that the, holder had no security
would not prevent him from collect-
lng the note from you. —Lega.l Edi-

SON '1‘0 RENT FARM

My husband and I own 300 acres
jointly. I own the stock and ma-
chinery. Our oldest son wants to
farm it on shares. Will you please
tell me how it isbest to do so? It
is a good farm about 200' acres in
plowed land andhay, perhaps more.
We keep twenty~five cows, seven
brood sows, eight horses and raise a
few heifers each year, and take the
milk to the condensary. Now would-
n’t it be best to just rent him the
land and crops and he and his father

chinery or him to share in all. I
have studied a lot on this. We have
three younger boys in school. Now
I will have the son and all the help
to board." I thought if I got all the
eggs, poultry, fruit and garden
ground it would be. fair.—-—A._ I...
Clare, Mich.

HERE are several ways that this
proposition , might be handled.
depending somewhat on wheth-

‘ er the son wishes to make an invest-
ment in the personal property or ,

not and whether the owner wishes
to share in such property. If the
son (1068 not care to\ assume. an in-
vestment he could rent the farm on
the '75 share basis—-that is, he
would furnish the labor andbear it
of such expense as feed.- seed; twine

. and machine hire and rceive 1,5 of

the farm income.
It arrangements could be. made

' whereby he could purchase on

twine, feed and machine hire, and
receive 1,4; of the income. ’

If the son purchased a share in
the livestock and tools, it would be

rather easy to divide the income: On-

the‘ other hand, the» husband might
purchase it of the stock and tools
or pay rent for same—thus making

and equipment rather simple. be-
tween husband and wife.

he owner of the livestock should
have something more than ordinary
interest on the stock and equipment
for there is an element of deprecia-
tion to figure on. ~

Another plan would be for this~

wife to pay her husband a definite
amount of cash for his share of pro-
perty and she 'deal direct~with the
son. This would eliminate Tiny

complications as to the division of

MENAGE TO HEALTH
I would like to know if it is law-
ful for a woman to work as a mid-
wife and take care of babies when
she has a bleeding cancerof the

» stomach and the doctor has forbid

her to do such work. Should she

ment in the town "where she lives?
-——Subscriber. ..

EGALLY midwifes are not recog-

nized as such in the stateof -1

Michigan. That is, they are not

licensed except in local communities, '

such as Detroit.

SHARING COST OF BALING HAY

I let a neighbor cut my hay on
shares. He agreed to do all of the

~

press bill. He was to draw all of
the hay to market and each to re-
ceive half of the proceeds.
are the terms, used in the contract.
-I wish to know what should be in-
cluded in the “pressbill?” Am I
supposed to pay for help to put the
bay to the press? Is it fair for this
neighbor to a arrange with “the
owner of the press to furnish a full
crew to do all of the work of press-
ing and charge with half of the bill?

is generally understood that
thresh bill and other power mar

_ chine hire only covers the- ma-
chine costs, and the machine operat-
ing crew. All other help to be tur-
nished by the tenant.
should furnish his share of fuel and
board bill together with his portion
of machine hire. While the above is
the common practice there are many
excepth. in some sections of the
state where the full crew operates.
it is common for the landlord to
stand his share of the entire ex-
pense. As to just how the expense
is divided will depend upon the un-

derstanding at outset and the prac-’

tice followed in the neighborhood.—

“Plant Cheap Seed"
-HEN I..was a boy my home was
in a city and I often visited
at the home of an uncle on a
farm during vacations. He was a
very practical man, and, I have
. often thought, as

good a farmer
as any I have
ever known. I
can remember
many things he
said concerning

farm practice, in

merous questions
and I believe he
was the first man
I e v,e r h e a r d
quote t h e 01 d
and oft repeated
phrase “P 1 a nt
cheap seed.” I have heard and read
it many times since, and ,I often
wonder if the ones who quote this
saying, “Plant Cheap Seeds” have
really given serious though to what
it means. No doubt, the inference
is that because a certain kind of
seed is low in price many will not at—
tempt to grow it, and the price of
the next crop will be high, because
of the small acreage and resulting
small crop. This is true many times,
and while all the yearly variations
in price on different crops is not
due to the fact of acreage, there are
no doubt some instances when it is.

 

L. w. MEEKS

But “Cheap Seeds”— what. are
“Cheap Seeds”? I am a firm be-
liever in cheap seeds, and strange

as it may seem, my experience is
that cheap seeds are always those
that are highest priced. Why? Be-
cause the best seeds are the highest
priced, and the best seeds invariably
produce the best cropswtlierefore
the high priced seed which produced
the crop was that the cheapest seed
to plant.

I can recall many instances where
seeds that were low in price to buy,
and supposedly cheap, have proven
almost a failure in producing a
crop. Mention will be made of one
or two such economics.

I once knew of a farmer plant-’
ing some beans; good seed beans
were high priced that spring, and
as a grocer had some good looking
beans on sale for table use, at a
price much below the price of seed
these grocery beans were
Result: Some
beans never came up; some grew
fine and had blossoms on when oth-
ers. were just showing full sized
leaves; some were in bloom when
others were ripe and many never ri-
pened. Fifty cents an acre differ-
ence in the price of seed beans made
the difference between a good crop
and a poor one. Were these seed
beans cheap? ~

Last fall a potato buyer bought a
few car loads of potatoes at.\our
station. The price at that time was
around one dollar per bushel. Many
farmers who thought this a. very high
allowed they might spare a few
bushels. The writer, having busi-
ness at the station one,day, took
the time to Watch some of the farm-
ers drive up to the car with/their
spuds and have them graded. Most
of the loads were smallflfrom fif—
teen to thirty bushels. Some were
very good in quality. \Not more than

of a twenty—five bushel lot. No doubt
they were sorted at the farm, but it
was certainly evident they were pro-

_ duced from good unmixed seed. Oth-

er load’s had anywhere from one to
five bushels rejected in a twenty-five
bushel lot. There would be red.po-
tatoes, white potatoes and russet po-
tatoesi . long round ones, and, as
one woman said, “bubbly” ones. *The
general size was small, and one

It’s To}. Bad

It’s too bad but one of the laws

Nature put on her statutes about
the time she wrote the law of gra—
Vitation was one to the effect you
can’t get something for nothing, and
really isn’t it “too bad”? This is
the law which makes the inhabitants
of this sphere have to battle for
what they get. And, methinks, few
of the incumbents of this globe have
to hustle more than the tillers of the
soil. ’The only Way torsavesome of
this hustle is to use our heads as
much as possible in studying, and
planning ways and means, of assist-
ing our hands and feet to accom-
plish the most with the least effort.
Theifirst thing our head should sug-
gest is not to use valuable energy in
planting poor seeds and thereby car-
ing for a poor crop as a result.
Cheap seeds, in most every instance,
have been costly ones, and high
priced seeds invariably prove to be
the cheapest.

Some seeds this spring are high
in price—such as seed corn and po-
tatoes. Seed corn is high priced,
not -because corn is cheap, but be-
cause Very little of it is suitable for
seed. Potatoes are high because of
a scarcity. Many, who never have
grown "potatoes, will want to this
year while others will increase their
acreage. Potatoes may be low in
priCe next fall, but the fellow who
grows the largest crop of good po-
tatoes on a small acreage will make
the most money and he will be the

fellow who plants the best seed and

then cares for it.

The one who expects potatoes will
be cheap, and does not think it will
pay to put much money into good
seed will surely lose out if potatoes
do sell for a low price, because he
won’t have many to sell and if they
do, accidentally bring a high price,
he will lose out for the same reason.

Many ask me if we intend to in-
crease our acreage this coming sea—
son. The reply is always the same
“Absolutely no.” We have a fixed
acreage each year and high prices
or low prices do not cause it to vary.

If every farmer would have a
fixed acreage there would not be so
many ups and downs to potato prices
on account of the bugaboo “big acre—
age.”

It seems to me I read many more
news items about “big acreage” of.
this or that, than I do “small acre-
age.” Why is this? Big acreage is
about the first lever some buyers use
in trying to get a farmer to part
with his product. I do not remember
of a buyer ever telling me potatoes
were a small acreage. When we, as
farmers, use our heads as much as
we should, we will try and raise just
as large crops as we do now, on
less acres. We must learn to farm
for .bushels and not for acres.

Then there is something else in
favor of the best seed or best foun—
dation stock of any kind. “For
where your treasure is there will
your heart be also,” is a passage of
Scripture applicable to many things
and very much to the money expend—
ed on good seed or stock. We will

give it better care for we expect
more of it, and it seldom disaph
points us.

’Sometimes we see an advertise-
ment of cut prices on clover seed
and other staple seeds. I often won-
der how a seed house ’can quote low-
er prices on these staple seedsthan
the seeds are worth in the market.

‘ If some one wanted to sell me some
wheat, and quoted a price below the
market, I should seriously ques-
tion the quality of that wheat.

case where a

‘ farmer of 60 acres liad an income

of. $1, 500, from his farm and re—
quests to hear from other farmers
along that line. ~-

This looks very good under pres-
ent conditions it over and above all
expenses that a farmer is liable to
have in his line of business, but let
us look it over. In the first. place
I consider that a farmer should re-
ceive a minimum wage per day of

is what day laborers are paid for 10
hours’ work, to‘ols .furnighed. This
would foot up to $1,460 per year,
and would leave $40.00 pin money
I believe farmers will
agree that after paying orallowing
for his board, etc., his wage; will
not look very high; Now suppose
this farmer has to take out of the
$1460, taxes, insurance, wear oi! im-
plements, ' repairs for implements,
repairs, on buildings, fences.“ seed,
hired help, threshing, fuel, how
much will there be left of his earn-
ings? It also reminds merof a case
that occurred in lmy neighborhood
before the war. A city friend in-
formed me that farmers were mak-
ing good money on the farm. When
I requested him to point it out to
me he said, “Your neighbor'sold a
span of 3 year old colts at $300.00,
a bunch of young stock for $450.00,
1% to 2 year old, 2 cows, grain, po—
tatoes, butter and eggs, or a total
of $1,200.” In return I asked him
several question: lst did the‘farm—
er say he made that much in one
year; 2nd, did he grow 3 year 01d
colts in one year; 3rd, how much
of the 1% and 2 year stock was
grown in one year; 4th, how about
the seed, threshing, hired labor, tax-
es and all other expenses he had,
also a $25.00 sire fee for the colts,
did he make any~ deduction on the
$1200? Now where did‘he make
$1200 clear,” I asked. “I don’t
know,” was the reply; If Mr. Meek’s
friend has to deduct ,'all expenses
out of the $1500 income there will
not be much left for wages and an-
other question would arise; was all
he sold raised in the one year? The
word “made’ means clear of expens—
es.——G. A., Tawas City, Mich.

CORN BORER v

EAR EDITOR: I think “0. B.”
is quite right about the corn
borer. There has always been
corn borers or corn weevils, they
called them when I was a boy.
When I was a small boy, just big
enough to look at the pictures in a
big book that my father got from
the agricultural department and tear
out the leaves, I found a great big
worm on an ear of corn that I did-
n’t like the looks of. They called
them corn weevils. But I never saw
any of them until we began raising
dent corn and planting it in the mid-

_ die of June instead of the tenth of
. May as my father always did.

If we said the ground was too
cold he would say, “Never mind, get
it in the ground, it will grow and be
getting strong roots," and I think, he
was right. Our corn was always
ripe early, too early for the borers,
they don’t touch a hard ear of corn.
If everyone would plant early, cul-
tivate and ripen their corn early I
don’t think there would be much
trouble with worms; The late corn
gets them.——P. M., Oakley, Mich.

to city life while he and the mother
are apparently so hale and ambi-

The three essential foods for
crops are nitrogen, phosphorus and l
potash. Then when you buy fertil-
izer 'reading on the sack “2-16—2”

,_ you are buying 2 per cent of avail-

\able nitrogen, 16 per cent of avail-

able phosphoric acid and 2 per cent

of availablepotash and the remain-
- ing 80 per cent of the sack is just
‘filler that is necessary to carry the

20 per ,cent of real plant food and

this is one of the big reasons infa-

vor of ‘high grade formulas and this
is why the better grades are always
the cheapest to use. There is noth-
ing stimulating in fertilizer any
~— more than if you feed a horse corn
or hay. They are real food and so

a is fertilizer.

The food elements in commercial
fertilizer are readily available and
plants can make use of them very l
quickly providing there is moisture
enough in the soil to make them
soluble and hence they start plants
out quicker and hasten growth and
maturity which would be slower by
- gnature’seown elements from the soil
‘ ' itself and in each case assists nature

by helping and furnishing the ele-
ments she. may- be lacking in this
particular instance.

Fertiliz’er. is coming more into
use every day and its cause is sure
to grow constantly. About 70 per
cent "' of the fertilizer used in the
1 United States is used ,inlthe south-
ern .states on cotton. Maine uses
large amounts on potatoes. some
acre. \The average application for
times as high as 1500 pounds per
grain crops being from 200 to 400
pounds and very good results are

- obtained firo its use.

'It is a fagl‘that a complete fer-
tilizer such .as 2-12-2 or 2-16—2 will
ripen corn' from a week to‘ ten days
before the usual time of ripening
and the same is true of wheat and
other grains. On some soils acid
phosphate will do the same thing,
especially where” lime has been used
before it. The cost of fertilizer in
relation to the crop we are growing
‘is the principle factor in determin-
ing its use on that individual crop.

i . , It must be remembered that you
get the best results from fertilizer
--on rich ground and there is soil so
low in humus that it is likely to de-
rive no beneflt Whatever from fertil-

, izer because‘of the poor state of the

soil itself. This effect is usually

“ caused by the soil not holding water

‘ enough to get in solution othe plant

1 food in the fertilizer; where-the

l moisture condition would have been

1 right its effects would have been no—

‘ ticeable on this soil as on the better

LANT with Superior~and cultivate with Buckeye. That is the ‘lan

- P followed by thousands of farmers in every corn growing section 0 the
country. Buckeye cultivation means far easier work and best possible
results——‘ always. Buckeye Cultivators are positively without an equal for.

simplicity of o eration, lightness of draft,

alance and flexibility. Like all

the products 0 the Superior plant they are sturdily built of finest materials
to give long years of dependable service.

The wheels of Buckeye Cultivators are pivoted to
the frame. As a result they shift in unison with
the beams by means of easily operated foot levers.
This makes-it an easy matter for the operator to
hold the beams right up to their work-or to
dodge hills in the most crooked rows of corn or
other row“ crops. Buckeye Cultivators can _be
adjusted to cultivate rows from 36 inches to 48

inches apart. They are very strongly built, excep— I
tionally easy to operate, have every possible con—
venient feature—- and they do a perfect job of
cultivating. The Buckeye line includes l—row
'riding cultivators, Zarow riding cultivators for
team or tractor and l—row walking cultivators
which are especially suitable for the cultivation
of potatoes, beans, etc.

SUPERIOR Corn Planters

The Sup‘erior Corn Planter is built to do a hard job supremely well. It is simple, strong, easily operated

TEXT: “Not that I have already ob-
tained, or am already made perfect; but \
I press on,‘if so be that I may lay hold
on that for which also I was laid hold on
by Christ Jesus." Phill. 8:1.2.

E was a fellow student. ‘ 'One

morning in chapel the prZasi-
, dent announced that this boy
had left for the university .and had
not as much as one ‘dollar in his‘
pocket. He expected to earn enuf
on the way to pay travel expenses
and to matriculate at the school. He
I met a. man in "3.
Western state, moneyléss and blind.
But man and circumstances could
not close, for him, the door to a
useful life. Through laborious ef-
fort, With natural powers reduced,
he was pressing on.

Paul, the author of our text, re-
fused to, be contented. Forsaken by
John and Mark, he pressed on;
chained and imprisoned, he pressed
on. And why? What is the secret?
Ah, he had been thoroly immersed
into the meaning of Christianity:
into the Spirit that would not be sat-
isfied. f‘Even so run that ye may
attain,” says he. And “I can do all
things thru Christ which strength-
eneth me.”

“Not that I have already obtain-
ed.” Of course, there must have
beenthose in the Phillipian church
that were pretty well satisfied with
their attainments in religion, that
felt quite complacent over their po-
sition in the church, and that were
resting from their labors in an ex-
pectancy of being caught up to Par—
adise. Are there any such today?
Are we not too well satisfied with
just little advances in religon, or
mayhap, in just keeping the status
quo? Don’t we yet know that
Christianity is a movement _‘upward
and onward, that it is a religion of
efiort and expectation, and that the
impulsive purpose of the’ Leader
should be the purpose of all follow-
ers? Isn’t it time that we throw
our minds into the high gear of this
“One thing I~do?"

But Paul explained his energetic
Christianity to be “a righteousness
which is from God by faith.” Faith
was at the bottom of his dynamic
personality. It stirred him to ef-
fort and progress. Not the‘faith of
a satisfied achievement, but a. high
belief that the Christ goal is a be-
coming process. Through faith he
felt a releasing of power which is
always a distinguishing feature of
Christianity. It is faith that sup-
plies motive for action, power to act,
and wins for us the approbation,
“Well one, good and faithful serv-
ant; enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord.”

When Saul of Tarsus became
Paul, the apostle, he was not so
soothed in his experiences as to fall
into a. self-satisfied mood. But
one, has to think sometimes that the
supposed magic of the Blood is be-
witching to not a- few Christians to-
day. Listen, you can hear them
singing now, what is to them, an
enchanting hymn: “Jesus paid it
all.” Did he? What meaneth, “If
any man would come after me, let
him deny himself, take up his cross,
and follow me?" And that is yet
the rule by which we are to walk.
Have we taken up our cross to fol-
low? Do we know what it is to
deny ourselves and suffer for oth-
ers? "Here in Christian America
we spend three times as much, to
mention~only miserable despicable
trifles, for chewing gum as would
give the Gospel to half a world;
twelve times as much for soda Wa-
ter; seventeen times as much for
candy as for world-wide‘missions;
one hundred times as much for mov-
ing-..pictures; seventy times as much
for tobacco. Here _is,h‘a1f- the. world
without Christ and we’ are laiying up

giving six tenths of his income tram
a slender salary. A teacher in a

school, supporting her mother, has

her own 'foreign miSsionary. Does
not this challenge come as a call
from God?” Well, these are recent
from Sherwood Eddy that
ought to‘shame us out of our selfish
living and into the glorious conquest
of the worldfor Christ. That salva-
tion is free, is a pernicious interpre
tatlon of the gospel of Christ. ‘
“But. I press on." Paul knew
where he was going, the goal was
in view, and he stretched forward
to lay hold of it. This is character-
istic of every Christian soul. The
Christian is ever making new ad-
justments in life and striving for
higher ground. There is no stand-
ing still in the Christian order. The
Christian is not asking for spiritual
soothing syrup but for the elixir of
life and power. He is expecting to
move some day from his rented
home on Worldly alley to his man-
sion on Heavenly boulevard; so he
doesn’t care so much about jhe
thorns in the flesh along the way;
just so he makes the grade to the
top. / \
The apostle was no mere dreamer
of the past. He had good forgetting
power. His blasphemy and perse-
cuting history was such a terrible
blunder that he was glad to leave it
behind. The future beckoned him
forward in a struggle of faith. And
his aim was like a torrentin inten—
sity. It had to be in his day. But
it must needs be now. We are yet
in a world of sense and sin. Human
sophistry can not rid life of evil.
Faith meets contradictions every-
where. Temptation puts in her
strong bid, and he who presses on
must have the uncompromising and
contending mind of the Christ. He
does not enfeeble his powers or im-
pair his faith in dreaming of yes-
terday. It takes close fellowship
with 'God to put into practice the
teachings of the» Christian faith in
an unbelieving world.
. “That I may lay hold.” Here is
a' distinct purpose and unified aim.
An obituary of a, certain deceased

man read, “He had lived a Christ- .

ian life off and on for forty years.”
Paul was never off but always on
striving for the goal. He felt that
his “high calling in Christ Jesus”
was a pressing on toward a charac-
ter of goodness, virtue, and service.
“The love of Christ constraineth
me,” he declares. From the time of
his conversion on the Damascus
road, he had but one passion, It was
Christ. “It is no longer I that live,
but Christ that liveth in me.” It
was not the motive of fear, but of
love that gave his life such driving
power.
gument for fear in “labor to enter
into that rest lest any man fall'aft-
er the example of unbelief.” But
this is the fear of reverence and con-
fidence and not of anxiety and terror.
Paul had no terrifying doubts about
that crown laid up for him.

We are all just travellers and
wanting to reach life’s summit be-
fore our sun sets. We toil on a
rough road “sorrowing but rejoic-
ing." We conquer sins and over-
come disappointments along the way
but seem never to find thekperfect
state. Here the actual never catches
up to the ideal. Perfection is in
growth, in pressing on. The spirit
of Paul, as he ollowed Christ, will
turn every event of life into a. round
of the ladder by which the soul as-
cends to meet its God.

“Heaven is not reached by a single
bound, ‘
But we build the ladder by which
We rise . .

H. C. BROWNE
Announcer at WGHP

~.Baltimore and Lansing also broad-

cast at the same time and nearly
the same wave length. There would
be a much better reception if they
Were broadcast before the musical
rprogram, but believe me we get
them anyway if We possibly can.

I really think your station is do-
ing more good for the farmer than
any station I have been able to find.
We have waited, wished and almost
prayed for a station to do what you
are doing and our dream is coming
true

Here’s to a long and prosperous
life to WGHP and THE BUSINESS
FARMER.—S. W._ Walker, Hilisdale

County.

 

MORE COMMENTS

It enjoy your talks very much.-—N. A.
Sheridan, Genesee County.

I understood over the radio that you
furnished a market pad by writing you.
Last evening was the first I ever caught
the market from there and want to get
it regularly. The farmer is in need of
reliable information along this line all
the time.—4Ge0rge H. Gifford, Fayette, 0.

 

I received part of the program from
WGHP last night. I understood the an-
nouncer to say you were asking for criti-
cisms on the station. Now my “kick” is
that you are on low wave length, and. the
stations in Chicago drown you out with
their jazz. The trouble may be with my
set. Last evening was the first good re-
ception I have had since you started to
broadcast—L. W. Beicher, Lenawee Co.

Farm program comes in fine every
night over the radio. The only sugges-
tion that I have to make is that I think
you had better get in touch with our
county paper and have your program
printed along, with the other programs
as so many only get the paper and they
do not know that you are on the air at
that time. Had one farmer here at my
house the other night when your program

To carry through one of the greatest ex-
pansion programs in automobile history,
Dodge Brothers, Inc. invested more than
$10,000,000 in new buildings and advanced
new equipment.

Remarkable new mechanical processes
were perfected, making it possible, in many
instances, for one machine to do the work
formerly done by six, eight and ten ma-
chines—and do it better.

Making it possible, too, for one than more
quickly and accurately to do the work of
many. And clearing large areas of factory
space for greater output.

Tremendous increases in production have
followed. Vast economies have followed.
Finer precision in craftsmanship has fol-
lowed. Vital improvements in Dodge
Brothers Motor Car have followed—and, as
promised, astonishingly low new prices made
possible by these gigantic developments.

Yourxshare in this great investment is the
money you save by purchasing, at the
lowest price, the finest vehicle ever pro-
duced by Dodge Brothers.

“The Farm>Pap¢r of Service”

THAT FARM LEASE

ERE are thousands of old sayings or saws

and some of them can be applied invconnec-

tion with nearly every subject but we have
never heard one that just applied to farm leasing
so we want to offer “A written farm lease saves
a world of trouble.” Isn’t it the truth?

Even though you are leasing from or to a
warm friend or a relative, one you would trust
with all your worldly possessions, you should
have a written agreement between you. It is not
always a case of trust, but a business-like way of
doing things, and if there ever is any trouble or

disagreement during the time of the lease you '

have it down in black and—white just what was to
be done. There is no forgetting this or that or a
misunderstanding of a verbal statement, because
it is all written down and the signatures of the
interested parties are attached. Hardly a day
passerduring the period of the lease but ques-
tions arise that a carefully written lease would
answer satisfactorily. Usually, with a verbal
agreement too many of the details are not con-
sidered until weeks or months after the begin-
ning of the lease, when all parties have pro-
ceeded too far to back out, and often the final
settlement is not to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. One disagreement and thereafter there
is apt to be a feeling of distrust, which grows
with time. Many fine friendships are destroyed
in this way.

Of the several different kinds of leases used in
Michigan the most popular one is the 50-50 con-
tract and in this issue we have an article on
it written by Howard Kittle, who as county agri-
cultural agent of Clinton county, draws up many
of them each year. The recommendations made
in this article should be remembered in making
up your next farm lease because they represent
years of observation on the part of the writer.
Also we will be pleased to help you in any way
we can.

MARKET FOR POTATOES

T do you think the potato market is go~

vc ing to do? Every few days someone writes
us asking this question. Perhaps if we
were the “seventh son of a seventh sou" we

might be able to predict with certainty but, alas,
we are only human, and can only take the facts

as they are along with prospects for the future .

and pass our judgment on what we think the
market will do. .

According to the latest statement issued by
Verne H. Church of the U. S. Bureau of Agricul—
tural Economics and L. Whitney Watkins,-_ State
Commissioner of Agriculture, the merchantable
stacks of potatoes on farms and in the hands of
the local dealers on January 1 in the 35 late po-

',tato states were the smallest at that date of any

[years since 1919.
' 57.127000 bushels compared with 119, 223, 000 _

This year stocks amounted to

§bnshels last year and 65, 405, 000 bushels in 1919.
:01- course these estimates do not include the
u'antitiee normally reserved for food and. seed
r the amount stored in the larger markets, but
allowance has been made for normal shrink-

‘ or decay. It is also reported that new plant-
' Jn the south are smaller than normal and

potatoes he has been holding for eating and
seed? Some think so and are not expecting
much higher prices. Others are of a ~mind that
the quantity held for food and seed is not large
enough if it were all put on the market to cause

prices to decline. These same people declare that».

the warehouses on the large are empty.

There are the facts as we have them, and we
hope you‘ are able to make a profitable decision.
But do not plan a huge acreage for this year be-
cause prices are high. Too many will be doing
that. If growers planted a certain number of
acres each year and increased it gradually as the
population increased they would be better off.

This strengthens out faith in the possibilties of
a campaign to advertise Michigan apples and we

hope‘other concerns use this method of remem-

GROWTH OF FARMER GQOPERATION

IT is to be doubted whether many farmers- Fe-
alize to what'great proportions the coopera-
tive, movement has grown.‘ Figures given out

by the U.. S. Bureau_of Agricultural Economics,’

state that there are now 10,803 farmer's cooperaJ
tive organizations listed with the Department of
Agriculture. This number lacks just a few of
being double the number listed in 1915 ‘and does
not include cooperative banks, credit associations
nor‘ insurance companies. .The twelve North
Central States seem to be far in the lead in this

great movement as over-70 per cent of all the"

ooops in the country are in ‘states.

PERSUADED

‘ FARMER who owned a sow which had pro-.

duced thirteen pigs was urged. to feed for

a ton litter. He refused because he thought
it wouldn't pay, but the county agent finally per-
suaded him by guaranteeing him against loss.
When the pigs were six months old they showed
a net profit of $352, counting all the costs, in-
cluding $7 apiece for the expense of getting
them into this world. Most of us really don’t
know what is good for us a large part of the
time. None of us knows_it all the time.

 

OUR LONGEST MARRIED MOHIGAN
COUPLE CONTEST

FI'VHE quick response to our request in the
February 27th issue for photos and

histories of Michigan's oldest married
couples is indeed gratifying. They began
coming in within a couple of days after the
issue reached our subscribers and every
mail brings more of them. Keep up the
good work folks, because we want to make
this a real contest, with from one couple
to many from every county in Michigan en-
toned.

We announced that we would like to
hear from couples who had been married
twenty-five years or longer and so far we
have heard from folks luau-led from 31
years to 64 years. Next issue we hope tor
publish a full page of pictures with stories
about each couple, and before .we are

judgement in the matter was not
wrong is indicated by the fact that
most of these companies were forc-
ed to close up by the post oflice de-
partment some time ago, Jones in-
cluded. ,

Early last summer Jones sent out
a‘ letter to his customers stating:
“Due to complaints trom some of
those who had made contracts to

a thorough investigation of this
business, and have advised me that
it was conducted along lines that
were in violation to the Postal Laws
and Regulations, and therefore must
cease. I therefore, in order to do
the honest thing, have appointed a
Trustee and have turned over to this
Trustee, all my assets. He is t(
turn this into cash as quickly as
possible, and distribute to creditors
the money received in this manner."

This trustee, Donald A. Griffin

then sent notice that nothing could_

be done in the way of settling claims
until after September 8th, but ap—
parently nothing has been done to
date. “

The fore part of February we
wrote him but were obliged to send
a second letter before getting any
reply, and he then advised that on
account of court proceedings the
business'would not be closed up
until after May 15th. He further
advised, “There Will“be little if any—
thing coming to the creditors, since
we already have o‘ver 5.600 claims,
like“ those you mention, against
Jones, and more still coming in.
That means he owes many thou-
sands of dollars and left only a
small sum to pay everything. Please
assure your patrons that I am doing
the best I can for them under these
trying conditions. We have not
money enough for postage and clerk

IVE stock breeders in
Canada grow rich.
The men who farm in
your easily-reached
neighbor country find
every encouragement for
raising high quality beef
and dairy cattle.

At the great National
Dairy Exposition at Indian-
apolis in October, 1925, the
most coveted prize offered—-
first award for State Herd—-
was captured by Canadian
Holsteins. The Senior and
Grand Champion Female was
a Canadian cow. Likewise,
the Junior Champion Bull
came from Canada. Of 24
animals entered by 10 Cana-
dian breeders and shown
against approximately 300 of

‘ the best dairy type animals
produced in North America,
18 won individual prizes. The
uniform high quality of the
exhibit from Canada was
conceded by all and was very
generally commented upon.

Equally great are the
opportunities in Canada for
grain growing, mixed farm-
ing and fruit and poultry
raising. Cheaper land, larger
crops and bigger profits

pendent life. Three hundred
million acres of North Amer-
ica’s richest agricultural land
———virgin soil on which the
best hard wheat in the world
can be raised at lowest cost
and marketed at highest
prices!

This most productive land
is fully served by railways. '
Freight rates are lower than
in the States. Land taxes,
too, are lighter. Good roads,-
markets, 5 c h o o ls, and
churches. Rural telephone
service. Good neighbors, who
probably include folks from
your home district. Yet the
cost is only $15 to $20 an acre
—with long-term payments
arranged, if desired. Farther
back from the railroads, free
homesteads, partially wood-
ed, are still available within
reasonable distances. In 1924-
Americans took up 608 of
these homesteads; during the
period from January to
November, 1925, Americans
took up 657 homesteads in
Canada.

— E had stopped in front of her, half
H turned her way; his body swayed

as his swollen lips counted its soundings.
She could see him plainly in the 'moon-
light, yet she drew nearer to him as she
followed his count. “Twenty-one." he
counted—“Twenty—two!" The Drum was
still going on. “Twenty-four—twenty—
five—twenty-six!” Would he count an-
other?

He did not; and her pulses, which
had halted, leaped with relief; and
through her comprehension rushed. It
was thus she had seen him counting in

not been certain of itwhbut- only able to
suspect. Then the Drum‘ had stopped
short of twenty-six, but he had not stop-
ped counting because of‘that; h’e'had
made the soundsrtwenty-six, when she
_and the woman had made them twenty-
two; now he had reckoned them twenty-
six, though the Drum, asshe separated
the sound from other noises, still Went on!

He moved on again, descending the
steep side of a little ravine, and she fol-
lowed. One of his snowshoes caught in
a protruding root and, instead of slowing
to_free it with care, he pulled it violently
out, and she heard the dry, seasoned
wood crack. He looked down, swore,
saw thatlthe wood had not broken through
and went on; but as he reached the bot—
tom of the slope, she leaped downward
from a little height behind him and
crashed down upon his trailing snow-
shoe just behind the heel. The rending
snap of the wood came beneath her feet.
Had she broken through his shoe or snap—
ped her own?~ She sprang back, as he
cried out and swung in an attempt to
grasp her; he lunged to follow her, and
she ran a few ste s away and stopped.
At his next step, is foot entangled in
the mesh of the broken snowshoe, and he
stooped, cursing, to strip it off and hurl
it from him; the he tore off the one from
the other foot, and threw it away, and
lurched after her again; but now he sank
above his knees and floundered in the
snow. She stood for a moment while the
half-mad, half—drunken figure struggled
toward her along the side of the ravine;
then she ran to where the tree trunks
hid her from him, but where she could
look out from the shadow and ’see him.
He gained the top of the slope and turned
in the direction she had gone; assured
then, apparently, that she had fled in
fear of him, he started back more swiftly
toward the beach. She followed, keepng
out of his sight among the trees.

To twenty-six, he had counted—to
twenty—six, each time! That told that he
knew one was living among those who
had been upon the ferry! The Drum
it was not easy to count with exactness
those wild, irregularly leaping sounds;
ope might make of them almost what one
wished—~or feared! And if, in his terror
here, Henry made the count twenty—six,
it was because he knew—~11e knew that
one was living! What one? It could
only be one of two to dismay him so;
there had been only two on the ferry
whose rescue he had feared; only two
who, living, he would have let lie upon
this beach which he had chosen and set
aside for his patrol, while he waited for
him to die! "

She forced herself on, unsparingly, as
she saw Henry gaining the shore and
as, believing himself alone, he “hurried

 

 

northward. She went with him, parallel—
ing his course among the trees. On the
wind-swept ridges of the ice, where there
was little snow, he could travel for long
stretches faster than she; she struggled
to keep even with him, her lungs scared
by the cold air as she gasped for breath.
But she could net rest; she could not
let herself be exhausted. Merciless' min-
ute after minute she raced him thus—A
dark shape—~21. figure lay stretched upon

and bent to the booming of the Drum,“

out, something which seemed the frag;
ments of lifeboat tossed up and down
where the waves thundered and gleamed
at the edge of the-flee. ' -
Henry’s pace quickened ; hers nuickened
desparately too. She left the shelter of
the trees and scrambled down the steep
pitch of the bluff, shouting, crying aloud.
Henry turned about and saw her; he

halted, and she passed him with a. rush .'

and got between him and the form upon
the ice, before she turned and faced him.

Defeat—defeat of whatever frightful
purpose he had had—was his now that
she was there to witness what he might
do; and in his, realization of that, he
burst out in oaths against her— He ad-

vanced; she stood, confronting—he sway-.

ed slightly in his walk and swung past
her and'awaY; he went past those things
on the beach and kept on along the ice
hummocks toward the north. . _

She ran to the huddled figure of the
man in mackinaw and cap; his face was
hidden partly by the position in which he
lay and partly by the drifting snowybut,
before she swept the ’snow away and
turned him to her, she knew that he was
Alan. . -

She cried to him and, when he did not
anSwer, she shook him to get him awake:
but she could not rouse him. Praying
in wild whispers to.herself, she opened
his jacket and felt within his clothes; he
was warm—at least he was not frozen
within! No; and there seemed‘some stir
of his heart! She tried to lift him, to
carry him; then to drag him. But she
could not; he fell from her arms into the
snow again, and she sat down, pulling
him upon her lap and clasping him to her,

She must have aid, she must get him
to some house, she must take him out of
the terrible cold; but dared she leave
him? Might Henry return, if she went
away? She arose and looked about. Far
up the shore she saw his figure rising
and falling with his flight over the rough
ice. A sound came to her too, the low,
deep reverberation of the Drum beating
once more along the shore and in the
woods and out upon the lake; and it
seemed to her that Henry’s figure, in the

stumbling steps of its flight, was keeping .

time to the wild rhythm of that sound.
And -she stooped to Alan and covered
him with her coat, before leaving him;
for she feared no longer Henry’s return.

CHAPTER XXI
The Fate of the “Miwaka”

“So this isn’t your house, Judah?”

“No, Alan; this is an Indian’s house,
but it is not mine. It is Adam.Enos’
house.
else when you needed this.”

“He helped to bring me here then?”

“No, Alan. They were alone here—she
and Adam’s wife. When she found you,
they brought you back here—more than
a mile along the beach. Two women !”

Alan choked as he put down the little
porcupine. quill box which had 'started
this line of inquiry. \Vhatever questions
he 'had asked of Judah or of Sherrill
these last few days had brought him very
quickly back to her. Moved by some in-
tuitive certainly regarding Spearman, she
had come north; she had not thought of
peril to heself; she had struggled alone
across dangerous ice in storm—a girl
brought up as she had been! She had‘
found him Alan—with life almost ex—
tinct uppn the beach; she and the Indian
woman, \Vassaquam had just said, had
brought him along the shore. How had
they managed that, henwondered; they
had somehow got him to this house which,
its his ignorance of exactly where he was
upon the mainland, he had thought must
be VVassaquam's; she had gone to get
help—His throat closed up, and his eyes
filled as he thought of this.

In the week during which he had been
cared for here, Alan had not seen Con-
stance; but there had been a peculiar

nor, toward, him, he had felt; it was

\ sorbething “m‘ore than merely liking for

him that Sherrill ’had showed, and Sher—
rill had spoken of her to him as Con-
stance. not, as he had called her always
before, “Miss Sherrill" or “My daughter."
Alan/ had had dreams which had Seemed
impossible of fulfilment, of dedicating his
life and all that he could make of it to
her; now Sherrill’s manner had brought
to him something like awe, as of some-
thing quite incredible. \

When he had believed that disgrace
was his—disgrace because he was Ben-
jamin Corvet’s son—he had hidden, or
tried to hide, his feeling toward her; he
knew now that he was not Corvet’s son;
\Spearman had shot his father, Corvet
had said. But he could not be certain
yet who his father was Or what revel-
ation regarding him-self might now be
given. Could he dare to betray that he
was thinking of Constance as——as he
could not keep from thinking? He dared
not without daring to dream that Sher-
rill‘s manner meant that she could care
for him; and that he could not presume.

. What she had undergone for him—her

venture alone up the beach and that

dreadful contest which had taken place

between her and Spearmanfimust remain
circumstances which he had learned but
, from which he could not yet take con-
clusions.

He turned to the Indian.

“Has anything more been heard of
Spearman, Judah?"

"Only this; he crossed the Straits the
next day upon the ferry there. In Mack-
inaw City he bought liquor at a bar and
took it with him; he asked there about
trains into the northwest. He has gone,
leaving all he had. What else could he
do?”

Alan crossed the little cabin and looked
out the window over the snOW-covered
slope, where the bright sun was shining.
It was very still without; there was no
motion at all in the pines toward the ice-
bound shore; and the shadow of the wood
smoke rising from the cabin chimney
made almost a straight line across the
snow. Snow had covered any tracks that
there had been upon the beach where
those who had been in the boat with him
had been found dead. He had known
that this 'must be; he had believed them
beyond aid when he had tried for the
shore to summon help for them and for
himself. The other boat, which had car-
ried survivors of the wreck, blown farther
to the south, had been able to gain the
shore of North Fox Island; and as these
men had not been so long exposed be-
fore they were brought to shelter, four
men lived. Sherrill had told him their
names; they were the mate, the assistant
engineer, a deckhand and Father Perron,
the priest who had been a passenger but
who had stayed with the crew till the last.
Benjamin Corvet had perished in the
wreckage of the cars.

As Alan went back to his chair, the
Indian watched him and seemed not dis-
pleased.

, “You feel good now, Alarr?”
quam asked.

“Almost like myself, Judah.”

“That is right then. It was thought
you would be like that today.” He look-
ed at the long shadows and at the height
of the early morning sun, estimating the

Wassa-

time of day. “A sled is coming soon
now."
“We’re going to leave here, Judah?”
“Yes,.A1an.”

Was he going to see her then? Excite-
ment stirred him, and he turned to Was-
saquam to ask that; but suddenly he
hesitated and did not inquire.

If more money would buy more quality
——-more miles of satisfactory service—
you might consider paying a higher price.
But—when a “ Riverside ” gives you
the utmost service—the last yard of mile-
age—why pay more money for a tire?

The Greatest Tire Value
in the Whole World

Ward’s is the 'largest retailers of tires in

the world. \

We buy our own new live rubber in
the Orient—millions of dol-
lars’, worth at a time.

Riverside Tires are made
in our own molds, under our
own personal inspection.
They are bigger, heavier,
and stronger becausewe put
into them more strength—-
more new live rubber, the

‘ finest materials.

 

 

Your Saving is One-third

12,000 Miles Guaranteed on Oversize Cords

A Fully Guaranteed
Quality Tire

“Riverside” is a Quality tire. The low
price is made by the lower ecst of selling
and not by saving on materials or labor.
We use the finest quality materials—and
guarantee Riversides equal to tires sell-
ing for $5 to $15 more.

A 54 Year Old Guarantee

Since 1872 Montgomery Ward 85 Co.
has been dealing with the American pub—
lic under an iron clad guarantee.
'could not put our guarantee back of this
tire unless exceptional quality was put
into the tire.

You cannot buy a tire with a better,
older, more responsible name and guar-
antee. So why pay more money? Why
not save one-third on your tires, too?

suppose we will hear from you often. .

Dear Uncle Ned: —-I received your let-
ter and was pleased to get it. I am going
to tell you about our parent-teacher’s

club. The parent—teacher’s club meets.

once a month. They have a sniall pro-
gram some times and a lunch. The last
‘ time they had a parent- te‘achers’ club, i
played a piece on the piano. We have a.
\radlo in our school and we enjoy hearing
it. I will tell you about my pets. We
have two dogs, four cats, and a pet lamb
which follows us everywhere we go. New
Year's night we went over to my grand-
pa’s and we invited a. few of our blends

in and we danced. He has a bi/ store

and a big hall.

Every Saturday night grandpa has a
dance, my girl friend and I go and we
have a nice time.

We have a nice berry patch. In the
summer time we pick as high an eleven
bushels.
lots of my clothes. I will close. Hoping
to be your niece. ——Evelyn Leaman, R4,
Freeland, Michigan.

—A. very interesting letter, Evelyn. and
hope I may hear from you again soon.
Tell us more about the parent- teacher’s
club and the programs they have. Also
tell us about the radio at your school.
What programs do you listen to and
when? Do you listen every day?

Dear Uncle Ned: -—I have never Written
to you before. I like the Children' 3 Hour
page. I always turn to that page first
and read all the letters from the chil-
dren. As I have never read any from
Williamsburg, I thought I would write.
Hope you will let me in. I am in the
sixth grade at school. ‘ Have Miss Pearl
McTaggart of Fife L‘ake for a teacher
and we all like her very much.

I am nearly eleven years old, have
brown hair and eyes and am not very
fat. I wear glasses and have three. sis-
ters: Irene, 13) Lydia, 8; and Leolas 6.
My baby brother is 21 months old. His
birthday is the nin enth of March and
mine is the twenty-1rd. My mother's
is the thirteenth of March.

My grandfather has one of the largest
farms around the country. He has about
twenty cows and lots of pigs, besides
horses. He has a threshing outfit. He
also draws 'the children to the new
school at Williamsburg, one of the finest
schools in the state.

I hope Mr. Waste Paper Basket will
be on a visit, so it will not catch by let-
ter. Maybe I will write again some time.
I surely hope to see my letter in your
fine paper.—Melvon A. \Broomhead, R2,
Williamsburg, Michigan.

——So your grandph. has a' threshing ma.-
chlne. I suppose you have heard the
joke about the little city boy who said-
he didn’t want to go to the country where
they had threshing machines, because his
papa could hurt him enough with a strap.
He thought a threshing machine was
something to whip bad’ boys with. Write
again, Melvon.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have never writ!
ten to you before, I WOuld like to enter
your merry circle. Before going any
further I will describe myself the same
as the rest of the cousins do. I am
five feet two and a half inches tall. and
weigh 107 pounds I have a light complex-
ion and have brown hair, which of course.
is bobbed and shingled. I have blue eyes.
I am thirteen years old and will betour-

teen on March 15th, and I am in the
eighth grade. I have three brothers and
one- sister.

I live on an eighty-acre farm. I help
my mother a great deal. We also have
twelve cows and I must tell you thatI
can milk too. We live four miles from
the nearest town, and when my brother
and I want to go to the, show we have
.to walk. We will go Saturday ,1 night.
\My Dad is not very well now, he has a
cold. He has a car which I will learn
to drive next summer. I always have
good times in summer.

We have taken the M. B. F. for about
four months and I have never failed to
read the Children’s Hour, or The Indian
Drum. I have one—half mile to walk in,
school. I like school and also the farm.
I hope Mr. Waste Basket has jifit had

niece—Ada Werner, Mdme, Michigan.

Dear Uncle Ned: ——I am 7 years old
and in the 3rd grade. I have 2 little
sisters. Their names are Mildred ‘end

" VMISFI’I.‘ NURSERY STOCK

. RE the trees true to name Or are
1 if they not? That is the ques-
“tion which lurks in the back of
eWIery fruit grower’s head when he
buys nursery stock and hopefully
p l a n t s an or-
chard. This ques-
tion is especially
important in the
case of a p p l e
trees, which take
many years. to
come into hear-
ing. No one but
the man who
has had the ex-
perience ‘ knows

Herbert Natzlger WhiC h fOHOWS
, t h e discovery
that trees which have been care-
“fully tended for years are not
the desired variety, but a hodge-
podge of worthless sorts ,
- One of the best ways to guard
against such troubles is to buy only
from reliable, established nurseries
which have years of experience and
good reputation behind them.
—" Another plan to eliminate misfits
‘ has been worked out by the Massa-
" .. chusetts Experiment Station. This
1 consists of actual certification of the

  
 

  
     
 

 

 

 

 

young trees in the nursery rows by“

1‘ 1 men who have given years of study
to the appearance and growth of the
various varieties of orchard trees.
The principles involved in the iden_—
ti-ficaton of specimens of fruit are
applied in similar fashion to the
identification of young trees.

The plan was first employed by
'the Massachusetts Fruit Growers
Association. Certification work was
started in 1921 and has steadily
increased In the year 1925, 166,810
trees were certified in Eastern nur-
series and about 9250 trees were re-
jected as untrue to name.

The work is usually done during
August and September. Dr. J. K.
Shaw and A. P French of the Mas—
sachusetts Station are the experts
who examine the trees. They will
walk down a, row of young McIntosh
for instance, and a tree of any other
variety will be instantly detected by
their practiced eyes. The untrue
tree is broken dowry and rejected.
Following the experts is a “sealing
gang" oLfrom four to six men who
.drill a 1/l6 inch hole through a
branch of each tree. A wire is pass—

: ed through this hole and the ends
of the wire fastened together by
means of a lead seal with the name
of the variety upon it. Dr. Shaw
says that this Seal may be allowed to
remain on the tree until it comes
into bearing Without any ill effects
resulting

The cost of certification, not in—
cluding the wages of the sealing

,‘ crew, seems to range from 1.3 to 3.7

‘ cents per tree. So far the work has
‘ , been confined to the commercial va-

,- 1 rieties of apples but the certification

' ; of certain varieties of pears, plums,

git} cherries will soon be undertak-

1

Let us ‘all hope that this laudable
work will continue to prove success—
in] as it promises to remove, or at
least minimize, one of the hazards
of‘ orcharding.

1

Many mature fruit trees are carrying'
too much wood. The best way‘to prune
to remedy this is a distributed thinning
_of~.. the smaller branches all through the
tree. '

Don’t prune large main limbs from ma-
ture apple- ”trees Use discretion and a
smaller Saw, or even a pair of pruning
shears. /

General Motors Could Achieve

Scoring an immediate and spec—
tacular success, the new Pontiac
Six is already one of the most
discussed cars in America.

To introduce into the field of
low-cost sixes, inducements to
ownership other than price . . to
overcome the limitations of
ordinary performance, comfort,
appearance and quality . . . there
has been brought to bear on the
development of this new Six, all
of General Motors’ engineering
skill, manufacturing experience,
production facilities and purchas-
ing power.

Oakland Six, companion to Pontiac Six, $975 to $1295.

At its price, the new Pontiac
Six, with body by Fisher, is an
achievement no less important
than the first six—cylinder engine.
This is true, simply because it
introduces elements of beauty,
size, stamina, comfort and pera
formance, entirely without
precedent.

You are invited to inspect the
new Pontiac Six, now being dis-
played by Oakland Pontiac
dealers everywhere. Go prepared
for a revelation . . . for only
General Motors could produce
such a car . . and price it so low!

KEEPING YOUNG FOLKS

REAaD your request for letters
I. about keeping the young folks
on the farm and I just can’t help
saying what I think.

Personally, I don’t care a fig
about keeping them there if they
want to go. Why should I? There

are other employments in which vir-
tue and happiness may be found and
I, for one, do not and never did be-
lieve in parents trying to run their
children’s lives for them after they
have arrived at years of discretion.
Nothing but trouble comes of. trying

occupation. I want to bring my
children up to be honorable Christ-
ian men and women and if I can do
that with the Lord’s help, I think I
shall not worry greatly over what
line of work'they choose. If they
measure up to this standard, they
will not choose anything that is
morally wrong. I believe that noth-
ing causes a man.or woman to be
so unhappy and discontented as to
feel that he was forced or unduly
persuaded in making his choice

help loving and wanting it? The
love of liberty is born in every home
and bred in the flesh. Let us stop

HOUSE PLANTS
UCCEiSS with house plants is

based essentially upon know-
ledge of their requirements. In
most homes the conditions are not
ideal for proper growing of plants.
In order to succeed it becomes es—

All plants require an abundance
of light, but they vary as to the de—
gxee of sunlight needed. Flowering
plants like geraniums, roses, begon-
ias thrive best in a sunny south win-
dow, while others like ferns, palms
and vines do better in an east win-
dow where the light is more sub-
dued. West windows should have
some protection against afternoon
sun, while the north windows are
not advisable at all. .

the raising of humidity in the room.
Watering should be done Systemati-
cally, but no set rule can be... laid
dOWn due to varying conditions. In
general the smaller the pot, the
more frequent should the watering
be. When the top of the pot is dry
it is usually a good Sign that water
is needed. Water thoroughly but
do not make a practice of setting the
pots in pans of water and allowing
the water to be draWn up to the sur-
face. This is apt to result in injury
to the plant thru oversaturation.

Ventilation is an important fac-
tor in keeping house plants in good
condition. Opening windows on
bright days is very beneficial provid-
ing draughts are avoided. Night
temperautre of 50 degrees F. and
days temperature of 65 degrees F.
is best for most plants.

\ Soil

Plants adapt themselves readily
to varying soils providing that food
elements are present in available
form. A good mixture for potting is
composed of one half garden loam,
one quarter sand and one quarter
leaf mold or well rotted manure.
An addition of bone meal in pro-
portion of a four inch potful to a
wheelbarrow load will be beneficial.
The assumption that each individual
plant requires different kind of soil
1s erroneous. E
\ Potting

In potting seedlings the soil
should contain but a small propor-
tion of manure. Two and one half
inch pots are used. First place a
piece of broken pot in the bottom,
curved Side up to insure proper
drainage. A little soil is Sifted on
top of that, the seedling place in the \
middle of the ,pot and more soil fill-
ed around the stem and roots the
roots. The pot shoud not be filld to
the brim to allow for retention of
water. After potting thorough wa-
tering must be given. When repot-
ting from one pot to another, one

 

size larger should be used. The.
need for this operation is shown
when the plants become “pot-
bound” or full of roots.

Pests

House plants frequently become ‘
diseased and .infested with insects.
The usual disease forms manifested
by spots and mildews may.) be
checked'vby spraying the leaves With‘ '
liverse of sulphur dissolved in p119“ ;
portion of one ounce to three gala 5
lons of water. The most common in-
sects are green aphids, mealy bugs, 1
red spider, scale and white fly. The
first two are sucking insects and
may be eradicated by the mic of 111-.
cotine sulphate which can be ob-
tained in concentrated form from a.

pack Well in jars. Sear meat by plung-
ing into boiling water and boiling 10
minutes or by browning in frying pan.

Pack into jar (better to use, jars no
larger than quart size as the heat penc—
trates better in smaller jars).

Add boiling liquor from kettle or liquor
made by pouring boiling water into fry-
ing pan where meat was seared. Fill
jar to within 1/5 inch of top of jar. Put
on rubber and top and partially seal the
Jar.
and process for 31/2 hours.

Remove from canner and seal jars.

The meat may first be cooked until
half or three-fourths done and processed
three hours.

If steam pressure cooker is used for
processing the time may be shortened.
5 pounds pressure, 2 hours; 10 to 15

pounds pressure, 1 hour.-—Osee Hughes,

Twenty Blinutcs Bef‘re the “'edding.—
At either church or house wedding certain
details should have been attended to by
those concerned, so that—some twenty
minutes before the ceremony—everything
“set" for the ceremony.
whether ‘it take place in house or Church
The twenty minutes must be regarded as
an “emergency allowance" of time to
cover any last minute slips or adjust—
ments called for. Twenty minutes before
the ceremony:

1. Every member of the bridal party
should be dressed and in readiness to pro—
ceed to the church, or fall into line in the
house processional. If it is a church
wedding the maid of honor and brides—
maids already should have reached the
bride's house and should be in attendance
on the bride, ready to go on to the church.
If a bridal “group" picture is taken, this
should have been attended to beforethe
twenty minutes “emergency" period.

2. In the church (or in the house, if
it is a large house wedding and ushers
have been appointed), the great .majority
of the guests should have been assigned
their places by this time.

3. The best man should be in attend-
ance on the bridegroom, cheering and
strengthening him for the coming ordeal,
for the formalities of a wedding are an
ordeal t0 the avdrage bridegroom. though
the moment of his marriage may be the
happiest of his life. The best man al-
ready has seen that every last detail
of the bridegroom's dress is as it should
be. He has placed the bridegroom’s trav-
elling bag (with the clothes to which he
changes after the ceremony) in a con-
spicuous place in the room assigned him
in the home of the bride's parents. He
has attended to checking the bridal pair’s
luggage, which is already aboard train or
steamer, or in their hotel rooms, and has
registered for them if they are staying
at a hotel in town. If he is a really
competent :best man, the key to his hotel
room, and any tickets, checks, etc., the
bridegroom will need after leaving the
house when the collation is over are en—
closed in an envelope (or in his pocket-
case) in the coat of his travelling suit
in his bag.

4. At approximately twenty minutes
before the hour set for a church wedding
the bridegroom quietly leaves the bride’s
house for the church with his best man
(who has the wedding ring and the
clergyman's fee in his pocket). The
bridegroom slips almost furtively into 'a
side door of the church, fur, as has been
said, he is only a necessary adjunct and
not entitled to any triumphant front-en—
trance appearance on the scene. He is
tucked away in the rector’s study to pass
the harrowing moments of inaction as
best he may, and his best man is supposed
to keep up his spirits to the best of his
ability.

(Questions answered frog o! charge.)

REASONS FOR TYING, FLEECES
. WITH PAPER TWINE
ROGEESS-IVE sheep raisers ‘are
using paper wool twine and
sheep branding paint that will
scour out of_ their wool. However,
the wool trade reports that there is
a need for still more improvement
along this line. They point out that
the owners of farm flocks of sheep
are especially lax in the use of im-
proper fleece twine, and that it
would be to their distinctadvantage
to’ turn to the use of paper twine-
Wool tied with paper twine will sell
more readily than similar wool tied
with twine of jute, hemp, or similar
fibers. Fragments of paper twine will
come out of the wool in the scour—
ing process- Other twines leave bits
of vegetable fibers which are remov-
ed from the finished cloth by expen-
sive hand labor.

Workers of the United 'States De-
partment of Agriculture" have ob—
served the handicap which impro-
perly branded fleeces meet when
they come before the wool buyers.
For years many of our largest wool
growers have been using paint
which will scour out and they re-
alize it helps in selling their clip
to the best advantage. One of the
largest wool growers reports a sav—
ing of 2 cents a pound on wool that
is properly prepared. Most of the
branding paint is removed in the
wool—sorting operation by
shears. The wool clipped off in this.
branding paint is practically a com—
plete loss. Particles of paint which
will not scour are very objectiona—
ble. This means an increase in the
shrinkage, a loss of wool, injury to
other wool, a damage to the finished
fabric”and requires expensive hand
labor and makes the wool sell less
readily.

Further information on this mat-
ter may be' secured from county ex-
tension agents or State agricultural
colleges.

 

 

RELIEVINIG ‘TIIE DRUDGERY
OF LIILKING

“ WOULDN’T care to run a dairy
without a milking machine,”

‘ said Harry Clark of Medina,
Ohio. Clark has useda machine
since 1917 and has nothing but
praise for it.

The keeping of a herd of sixteen
or twenty heavy milkers is one item
in the operation of a general farm.
Clark ,has other stock to care for
morning and evening and often times
his harvesting or other field work is
pressing. The fact that the mechan—
ical milker makes it possible for
man to do the milking for two
of them, is a great relief. It
gives one an opportunity to get
more work done in the field. Then,
too, Clark says that the operation
of the milking machine is a much
easier taskthan is hand milking.
After a busy day in the field he says
that neither himself nor his hired
man feel an}r objection to operating
the machine for an hour. However,
were it'necessary to milk by hand
for an hour or two, it would seem to
be a. very arduous task.

Clark easily milks sixteen cows in
hour? This fact combined with some
clever arrangements that enable the

feeding-tO’be'dOne‘ quickly and easi-

ly“ would seem p-to, as Clark _ says,~

THESE days everyone admits that a good mechanical
milker does the work in one third the time of hand milk—
ing. But the cleaning has in the past been a bit of a chore.

The new simplified Perfection teat cup solves this prob,
lem.’ Only 2 parts—one pull~—and it is all apart for quick
and easy cleaning. Furthermore users find that the new
teat cup milks faster, cleaner and with less vacuum.

If you have one of the thousands of Perfection Milkers
which have given such enthusiastic satisfaction since they
were put on the market 13 years ago or if you have any
other inflation type milker you
can better it at a small expense
with these new test cups.

If you are still milking by hand
consider the cost in hours wasted

in; case the hired man Quits suddenly.

Mrs. Clark is Just as enthusiastic
with regard to the milking machine.
She says there is no more work for
her in connection with washing and
caring for the parts of the milker

‘ than there was formerly with hand

milking. “Best of all" she says, “it
has relieved the early hours and the
late hours of milking that formerly
caused a feeling of dread in connec-
tion with our dairy work. Now'the
milking is just one of the regular
jobs. ”

The Clark machine is operated
from a three—horsepower gas engine,
which also pumps Water for the
farm tanks at the same time. For-
merly a smaller engine was used.
This was one and one-half horse-
power. This did very well, but Mrs.
Clark needed a small engine for her
washer, so the change was made.

The cost of operations is ,small.
The repair bills are no great item of
expense. As a labor-saver the Clarke
consider it to be a very profitable
machine. The result of eight years
of experience leads them to say “We
wouldn’t want to run a dairy with-
out it.”—-—Dairy Farmer.

 

SESSION MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WORSE

'(Continued from Page 3)

The Legislature enacted Senator
Herrick’s bill authorizing supervise
ore to receive $5.00 instead of $4.00
a day While they are in session. In
the past, supervisors have been 8.]-
lowd $5.00 .per day for other serv—
ices, but have been restricted to
$4.00 a day while attending sessions
of the board.

The House defeated Senator
Brower’s bill, backed by the admin-
istration, which’ would have appro—
priated $200,000 for a. women's
prison at Okemos.

In all, a score of bills werexenact-
ed at this, the fifth special legisla-
tive session held during the admin-
istration of Governor Groesbeck. The
cost of these sessions is about $25,-
000 each.

. COMMERCIAL F‘Elit'l‘lLIZERS~
(Continued from Page 11)

should be in line with the needs of
your soil rather than some special
brand, trade mark or pet notion. As
all the brands of fertilizer manufac-
tured are merely carriers of plant
food in different proportions, it does—
n't matter what the name is so long
as we are getting proper plant food.

Commercial fertilizer was . not
thought of in our grandfather’s day
because he was selling the fertility
of his farm a little or nothing. Now
then comes the time when we need
plant food in these soils and fertil-
izer is one of the ways we 'can get it
but this fact remains that the fer-
tilizer we use costs us a certain la.-
bor and the fertility of our soils on
a market made by the buyer regard-
less of whether we see the back of
our necks or not. The farmer is
the only “boob" doing this stunt to-
day and how long he will continue
in this act of benevolence remains
to be seen. So far he has been the
only' ”sucker to sell below cost and
still have the reputation of having
made money.

From A. J. Olson, Barn um, Wisconsin
Jan. 9, 1925

- “I have been feeding Kow-Karo to put

It to) the only remedy 1 look for, {or
cow ailments and I always aim to feed .

it oboutflvo weeks before freshening."

No wonder so many cows have serious
trouble at calf birth. Housed in during the
long winter months, little opportunity to
exercise, dry, hard-to-digest winter foods—
how could they be expected to have the
extra vitality acow ought to have as she
approaches the severe strain of calving.

Thousands of dairymen have learned the
value of special assistance at this critical
time. They have found that by giving a
tablespoonful of Kow-Kare with the feed
two weeks before and after calving, the cow ,
freshens without trouble of any sort and
produces a vigorous calf.

Kow-Kare has saved hundreds of dollars for
many cow owners at calving time. For over
thirty years dairymen have used this famous
medicine forf’treating cow troubles and for
increasing milk-fie .

Our free book, “T Home Cow Doctor"
tells the important part Kow-Kare plays in
the treatment of Barrenness, Retained
Afterbirth, Abortion, Scours, Bunches, Milk
Fever, etc. Write for your copy. ,

GARGET

We have two cows
chunks in their milk.

that have
Some call it

garget. We believe they are get-
ting worse instead of better. We are
feeding, shredded corn stalks, bean

pods, ground corn and ground oats.
Give plenty of salt, and some one
said give a few pails of chopped po-
tatoes. We did that. One should
be dry but we are having quite a
time to dry her up. The other
should give "milk a month or more
yet—J. B., Davison, Michigan.

ES, such lumps are usually gar-

. get and the best thing to do is

'to dry the cows up and give
them a. long rest before they fresh-
en; the best preventativ is the use
of balanced ration; improper feed-
ing causes most of this; your ration
lacks in protein and does‘ not have a
suitable roughage; if you had alfal-
fa or clover hay,.it would help. Give
them two or two and one-half
months rest before they freshen and
possibly this will bring about recov-
ery.

 

' PIN WORMS

I have a ten year old horse and
every time the bowels move there
ar whit strings and I was told they
are pin worms. If they are will you
please give me a cure for them, and
also how serious are they? Can you
also give me a cure for the bot worm
that lies in the stomach?-—A. H.,
Baroda, Michigan.

IN worms do very little damage
to a horse and bots do not 0d
any; practically every horse has

them and does not suffer and incon-
venience from them. Many people
used to think bots hurt horses, but
we know better now.

If you want to worm your horse
there is nothing better than 1/2
ounce of oil of chenopodium in 1
quart of raw linseed oil; this should
be given after the horse has missed
a couple of feeds; this will remove
all sorts of worms that horses are
afflicted with; you can get this from
youf’druggist.

SOVV lVEAK IN IIIND LEGS

I have a sow eight months old
which seems to be weak in the hind
legs. Can hardly get on her feet.
‘She is in good condition, but not
over- fat. Some say it is rheumatism.
She eats good. Can you tell me What
to do?—E. M. R., Avoca, Michigan.

is not rheumatism that ails
your sow, it is the lack of bone
building materials. Her bones
are soft and this causes pain, the re-
sult is she does not want to stand
onher feet. Give her bone meal and
tankage along with some .clover or
alfalfa and you will ikely get rid of
this. One-half pound of tankage
each day in which 15 pounds of
bone meal has been mixed in 100
pounds should help this animal.

DOG HAS MANGE
I would like to know what is the
matter with our dog. It has a lit-
tle puppy and it itches. Its body is
all red and she scratches herself. We
think it is 1ice.-—-Mrs. J. T., Route 1,
Caro, Michigan.

_DUR dog no doubt has mange;
, and one of the worst forms at
that. You should get some of
Glovers’ Mange remedy and use it
according to directions. People can
contract this disease from animals.
If you find that you have contracted
it you should see your doctor ‘at
once.

A Remarkable Home" Treat-

In the year of 1893 I was attacked by

Muscular and Sub-Acute Rheumatism. I — We I
suflered as only those who are thus of- ea. RI
flicted know for over three years. I tried stage

remedy after remedy, but such relief as
I obtained was only temporary. Finally.
I found a treatment. that cured mo. com~
pletely and such a pitiful condition has
never returned. I have given . it to a.
number who were terribly afllieted; even
bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty
years old. and the results were the same
as in my own case.

are hardly two» persons

agreed on 'details in connection

. with feeding. The principles
of feeding are, however, the ,same,
even though different methods are
practiced. Chicks do not require
anything to eat for the first 48 to
7% hours. Nature- has provided
enough food for them up to this
time in the form of the yolk of the
egg which is taken up by the chick
the last day within the shell. Dur-
ing the three or four days in which
the yolk is being absorbed the other
organs of the chick are crowded into
very much smaller spaces. It is dur—
ing this time that it is extremely im-
portant that the chick should not
have food. As the yolk is absorbed.
the crop, stomach, gizzard, and in-
testines gradually work into their

proper positions and reach normal‘

size. ”After this period of absorp-
tion a great deal depends upon the
selection of food. it should contain
elements found in egg material to
strong muscles, fat, bone,
and feathers, and vitamines to in-
sure growth and health.

If the chicks are fed too soon and
the yolks are not .pro erly absorbed,
or if they are overfe , fermentation
takes place, bacterial action is set
up, and the mortality «rate is high.
The external indications of this
condition is a pronounced diarrhea
of varying color, but usually is a
grayish white. A post mortem ex-
amination will show the yolk sac
to be nearly its original size and
filled with a watery yolk mass. In
order to overcome this trouble and
reduce the death rate during the
first seven to 10 days in the ehick’ 3
life, a person should study each lot
and make such slight variations in
the quantity of food as may be no-
cessary.

A ration for the chick should in-
fats, carbohydrates,
minerals, water, and vitamlnes. The
animal sources cf protein in feeds
are buttermilk or skimmed milk,
dried butter-milk, or semi-solid but-
termilk, meat scraps, and tankage.
The chief vegetable sources are oil
meal, soy—bean meal, gluten feed,
and cotton seed meal.‘ The animal
sources are more generally used be-
cause they are thought to be bet-
ter than those from plants. How—
ever, if the chicks themselvesare al-
lowed free» range, they generally
provide. enOugh-mrotein for them-
selves in the form of bugs, worms,
grasses, etc.

Carbohydrates and fats are sup-

plied through the grains such as
corn, wheat, oats, and are needed
to supply fat, heat, and energy. The
minerals“ such as phosphorus, calci-
um, and sodium are necessary for
the formation of feathers and for
the proper absorption of food by the
blood. Phosphorus may be obtained
from bone, and acid phosphate. Cal-
cium may be obtained from lime-
stone, oystershell, or pearl grit. So-
dium and chlorine are found in com-
mon salt.

The first day that the chicks are
in the brooder house, sour milk or
buttermilk should be provided in
shallow dishes. The acid in the
milk has a beneficial effect on the
digestive tract 9f the chick and the

.food value of the skimmed milk

stimulates the chick, causing rapid
growth and development of strong
resisting powers. Skimmed milk
should not be fed in galvanized dish-
es.

Third to Sixth Day._ The food giv-
en should be-easi1y seen and nutri-
tious. The following mash can be
recommended for use: bran, 50
pounds; rolled cats, 50 pounds;
bene meal, 3 pounds; ground lime—
stone, 2 pounds; 1fine charcoal, 2
pounds. This should be fed five
times during the day. about two and
one-half hours apart, feeding what
the chicks will readily clean up in
from 10 to 15 minutes.

gradually lengthen the time or

Fourteenth Day to 10 Weeks. If
quicker gains are desirable, and
especially if the birds are being pre-
pared for the broiler market, the
following scratch and mash feed is
recommended: 80 parts yellow corn
meal, 20 parts middlings, 10 parts
dried buttermilk, 5 parts calcium
carbonate, 5 parts of raw bone meal,
17$ pound salt. Scratch feed—5.0
parts cracked corn, 25 parts pin-
head oats, 25 parts cracked wheat,
1 pound cod— liver oil. If the chicks
are to be retained in the brooder
house, or if they are not in a place
where they can receive direct sun—
light, mix _1 pint or 1 pound of cod—
liver oil with‘25_ pounds of scratch
feed. In buying cod-liver oil be
sure to buy only that which has
been tested for vit‘amine D. Vita—
mine 1]) is ‘the factor which regulates
the retention of calcium. It is the
calcium which aids in making bone
of the chick, thus,
not retained, serious loss from leg
weakness will result.

 

CRO‘VDING

I have lost several pullets from
egg disorders such as eversion of
oviduct; also find lots of eggs cov—
ered with blood. What can be done
to remedy this? Pullets have laid
exceptionally heavy past few months,
are not too fat, have examined
them, feed 14 pounds of scratch feed
per hundred birds per day, an ex-
cellent egg mash before them al-
ways, feed alfalfa for greens.

In your opinion does the English
lLeghorn lay as large an egg as the
American strains, or not? Are the
American Leghorns inclined to be as
broody as the English Leghorn? Due
to the fact that the English Leghorn
is a heavier bird than the American
Leghorn, the latter has been quoted
as the better layer; is there any--
thing to this?—M. M., Holly, Mich.

0U are crowding your birds 11
little too heavy which accounts
for the trouble you are having;

cut this grain a. little bit and give
them 3%, pound of epsom salt dis-
solved in the mash every week. See
if this will not help them. If you
had some roots, turnips, or carrots
it might help get away from some
of this trouble you are having.

I do not think that there is a
great difference between the English
and the American Leghorn in lay-
ing. Visited many Leghorn flocks
last summer and the highest layer
of all of them was an English flock.
I would prefer the American for
there are so many more of them to
choose from. It may be that the
American breed haS'the better of
the records for there are so many
more of them, but for individual
flocks I should say there is little if
any difference between them.—Dr.
G. H. Conn.

SOUNDS LIKE ROUP
One of my ducks has a. foamy dis—

charge around the eyes, otherwise
sebms alright. Please advise what
to do.——N. S. Algonac, Mich.

HE thing to do is remove this
duck _from all other poultry and
watch for~symptoms of Mroup. I

doubt if that is what it is as I have
never seen roup in ducks. Probably
some infection in the eye which will
likely disappear in a short time. If
it does not, write us again and tell
us in detail just how they look and
-act.—Dr. G .H. Conn.

EYES SWELL

I am writing you in regards to
poultry trouble. I have 6 or 8 hens
that have swollen heads and eye-
lids. An eye in one hen has swollen
shut and is completely destroyed.
When this first starts on them you
notice it by their enlarged eyelids.

HERE is great danger (of over-
doing advice to farmers on how
to carry on their farms and par-

ticularly a'ust now as to tracts of. land
to put into the several grains, pota-
toes; etc. . The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has entered
into forecasting the future of the
crops, with full directions as to seed-
ing, and what way prices may be
expected to go under the new plans,
and many states are following
about the same“ course. Probably,
the safer course for the farmer is to
make no radical change in laying out
his plots. providing his acres have
yielded good profits, in past average
years. Under the new system of
farming the land is so treated as to
yield more thanhin the past, and this
means in many instances fewer in-
stead of more acres and more manur-
ing. It is especially
raising potatoes to see that the best

Proposed Farm Legislation
There is wide difference (11 views
among farmers as to what action the
federal government should take in
providing measures for agricultural ,
relief, but many of them are agreed 2.
that the causes of the price disparity " 2_
are largely due to the effective pr‘o- ’
tection of industry and labor, which
is not extended to the farmers, who
are obtaining only the world prices
for agricultural products, of which
they must export the surplus...

Darin-g With 70, 67 7 000 bushels a -
year ago;

 
 
 

292. 000 bushels a year ago: and
.000 bushels,
comparing with 72, 386, 000 bushels
a yeai ago. It is encouraging to
learn that the recent English demand
for durum wheat has become ani—

"mated, with late sales at September

prices As for corn, it is of the ut-

most importance that every farmer

who raises c'orn sh6uld plant only
the best tested seed this year, much

‘ corn being worthless for planting or

nearly'so. Late sales were made on
Chicago Board of Trade for May de-
livery of wheat at $1 59, comparing
with $1. 92 a year ago; corn at 79
cents, comparing with $1. 31 a year
ago: oats at 40‘ cents, comparing

with. 54 cents a year ago; and rye

"“at 89 cents, comparing with $1.41

a-year ago.
Great Market for Bogs

It is a curious 'fact that corn is
selling at unprofitable prices in parts
of Iowa, with not anywhere near
enough hogs to fatten on it, while
in districts where farmers are fairly
supplied with swine they are feeding
low-priced corn and making the big-
gest kind of profits.“ There is plenty

'of corn in the country, but the hog

1 supply is unusually small, and nor-

Il'

mal prices are not likely to be seen
while market receipts are on such a
reduced scale. One peculiarity of
the recent market was the unusually
wide range of prices, sales being
made at a spread of $4 per 100
pounds, the commoner lots selling
lower and the best light lots much
higher than a year ago. Farmers
continue to make their swine much
heavier than in other years, and re-
cent Chicago receipts averaged 241
pounds, which is 20 pounds heavier
than a year ago and 11 pounds heav-
ier than the five-year average for
corresponding weeks. The Depart-
ment of- Agriculture reports the hog

shortage in the south as greater than
' anywhere else, the supply being the

smallest in forty years, but the sales
down there of lard and meats are
disappointingly low. Late Chicago
receipts were the smallest in number

for any time since last Noyember,

and the combined receipts in seven
western packing points for the year
to late date were only 4,827,000

'_ hogs, comparing with 6,851,000 one

year ago and 7,290,000 two years
ago. One year ago hogs were selling
at $12 to $13.70 and two years ago
at, $5.25 to $7.55. Late sales were
made at $10.40 to $14.

Recently the receipts of cattle in
the Chicago market showed a big

» Jalling off in numbers, causing ad-

     
    
  
  

  
  
 
  
 

vances in prices, but the receipts in
all the western markets for the year
are well ahead of. a year ago. Beet
steers have been selling on a basis
of $8.15 to $11.25, largely at $8.80
to $11, with country buyers wanting
a good number of stockers and feed-
ers at $6.25 to $9.25, prices aver—
aging 25 cents higher than a week
earlier. “These cattle sold largely at
$7.50 to $8.50, no good lots going
below $8. Stock and feeder cows

' and heifers had a good sale at $4.50

to $6.75. Killers competed with
country buyers for fleshy feeders.

,One , year ago beef steers sold at

$7.25 to $12.35 and four years‘ago
at $6.75 to $9.40.

 

WHEAT

.Wheat prices declined some fol-
lowing lower prices in foreign mar-

, kets and reports that the winter crop

is coming along nicely. While wheat
stocks on farms seem to be about"
one-third under .a year ago there.is
very little export demand.

CORN

Light receipts hold corn prices
firm but any increase in the market-

ing movement weakens the market’

and prices work lower.

OATS
.There seems to be a steady market
for cats at present prices and to-
ward the close of last week prices
advanced slightly.

Wet beans continue to bear this
market and prices have declined
since, 6111‘ last issue. Information
we have indicates that the buyers
are reluctant to buy beans for fear

they will contain too much moisture
and spoil on their hands.

POTATOES ,

We have tried to collect the main
facts about the potato market in an
editorial in this issue. .Many are
positive that prices will advance,
while others are just as sure they
will go lower. At least we do not
believe they will go lower‘for some
time, and it is quite possible that
they will go higher. That is our
personal opinion, and we ask that
you use your own judgment.

EFORE the week of March 14th

is very old the mercury in the

old reliable thermometer Will

take a sudden run for cover into the

bulb at the lower end. In connec-

tion with this change._ to cooler

weather in Michigan we are expect-

ing the. skies will be generaly clear

with sunshiny days and star—light
nights.

By Wednesday or Thursday there
will appar over the state a very de-
cided storm area. The barometer
will fall to a low reading and the
winds will blow with tendencies
towards locaLtornadoes. Electrical
storms- are also probable during

_middle to latter part, of this week,

although we are not looking for an
over-abundance of precipitation for
the state in general. Vessels and
water shipping in general should
watch for the sudden gales that. will
pick up and lash the water at this
time.

At the close of the week, with
the passage of this severe storm, the
temperature will make a sudden
drop to much lower readings.

Week of March 21

An unsettled period in the weath-
er and one in which it is most dlfli—
cult to arrive at the exact date of
storm activity is now in force.

The sun is crossing the equator
on its northward trip, spring is
technically here, and winter and
summer wind and temperature cur-
rents are fighting with each other
for supremacy.

Storminess of last week will run
into this. In fact, all through this
period of the month, beginning sev—
eral days before March 21st and
ending several days after this date,
winds will be strong with unevenly
distributed precipitation and tem—
peratures averaging above the sea»
sonal normal.

Not until ne
week will tempera
cided drop~and then the skies will
clear tor a (few days.

the end of this
