There was silence for some time, save
for the rattle. which never ceased for a

slipping his land into his pocket. Then
a brilliant shaft of light cleft the dark-

Not four feet away a huge rattler
lay coiled. They could see the angry vi-
bration of the tail.

"Boy. howdy!" exclaimed Terry. "Look

the inhospitable cabin.

The storm had ceased and a crescent

they found themselves on the summit of

said Doug. '

"Set down.” invited the man. He
poured cones into huge cups and supplied
the boys with meat. eggs, raisins and
flapjacks.

“Not a great variety. but there's plenty ‘

of it." he said. "Help yourselves."

Conversation languished. To say the
food tasted good would be to but weakly
express it; but to them any food would
have been good. so you can imagine how
it tasted. Finally they finished.

“I’ve eaten till I am ashamed of my-
self," said Terry. ' ' .

“Here, too," said Doug.

”Nothing to be ashamed of,” said their
host. "Like to see a real hungry person

“Been looking all day yesterday, all

“Well, you’ve found it.”

It was a pleasant surprise to both.

“My name’s Muir.” said Terry. "I guess
you must be Mort Ramsdale.

“That's me. Guess you’re the outfit
that bought Zwick out?" ‘

Terry nodded.

”Well, since you're here,
won’t need me any longer?"

"We sure will," said Terry quickly.
“We want you to stay right on until we
get onto things; that is, if you will."

“Be glad to," said Mort. “Zwick was

“Chas/p enough," replied Terry. "What
is needing to be done most?"_

“There’s a. hundred and fifty acres of
cats and barley to cut that can't be cut
any too soon. We're due to have a snow
almost any day now, and if it is a heavy
one, it'll lay every straw of grain as
flat as a board. You won’t be able to
cut a straw."

"Then we'd better get busy right away,”
said Terry. “Where’s the horses?"

“That’s the trouble," said Mort. “They
are all on the range exceptvthree or four
saddle horses."

“Can’t we get them in?"

"Three good riders .might. You boys
ride arm?"

“Show me a horse,” said Doug, jump-
ing up.

In the corral were some four or five

horses. “What kind do you want ?" asked
Mort, grinning. “Gentle, or with a little
life?”

"Better start me in on a gentle one."
said Doug.

“Any kind'll suit me,” declared Terry.
“The livelier the better."

Mort grinned again, picked up a rope
and shot a loop over the head of a trim
looking little strawberry roan.

“That's Blutch," he said. “Best boss
on the ranch, but lively. Pitches a little
sometimes. just for fun, you know. Un-
derstand, none of these hosses are bad.
but he might shake you up -a little."

“Need shaking up," said Terry. “Let’s
get the saddle on.”

Mort must have slipped a burr under
the saddle, for the little horse humped
himself and‘went into the air the moment
Terry hit the saddle. Terry never even
found the horn to hang onto. The roan
pitched so fast he kept the boy in the
air precisely as a juggler does a ball—-
just juggled him and seemed to laugh
over it. Finally he slipped out from un-
der, and Terry came down, meeting the
ground with the seat of his pants—hard!
He sat there and looked around in a
dazed manner.

Mort wiped away the tears and said in
a strangled voice: “Need any more shak-
in' up?”

Up jumped Terry. '

“I’ll ride 'im!" he gritted, and caught
the roan again.

“The kid’s game i" said Mort to Doug

“They don't make ’em any gamer.

EGARDLESS of what optimists

or pessimists may say about

‘ business conditions in the Unit-
ed,.States during the year" ending.
V July 1st 1926, figures show it was
a prosperous period in general. The
last 'six months of 1925 showed a
gain over the previous like period,
while 1926 up to 'July first was
ahead of the last six months of 1925.

Assets of the United States today,

according to most conservative esti—

/mates, are $10,000,000,000 higher

than they were a year ago. Of

course only a certain portion of these

assets have been cash. Many ~»of

them are non liquid but the volume

of actual currency made available for

wholesale and retail purchases has

been sufilcient to lift the fiscal year

to heights never reached before.

This does not mean however that

every line of business paid profits to

/ those engaged in them. Some of the

industries still have a long ways to

go before they are “out of the

woods", and it is equally true ,that

' certain individual concerns in each

industry were unable to take advan-

tage of the general prosperity. This

is perfectly natural any year, regard-

less of general conditions. But in

general it was a year of prosperity.

The farmer had an up and down

time‘of it. In the corn belt every-

thing was far from rosy because of

a huge surplus-of the crop. Grain

growers in general did not receive

‘as good prices as during the previous

’ year while farmers were strong on

beef animals and hogs felt very good.

Fruit also was considerable higher.

Potatoes brought a good price and

a gain of at least 26 per cent. This
same period was a most satisfactory
one for the makers of fertilizer.
The volume of real estate transac-
tions during the year ending July 1-

was fully up to previous year and in-

surance companies reported a slight
gain. Foreign trade was satisfac—
tory, but that is about all that could
be said for it. Sharp price reduc-
tions stimulated the automotive in-
dustry and sales passed any recent
year. Tire manufacturers complain-
ed considerable during the last six
months but in general the fiscal year
was far from unsatisfactory to them.

The production of lumber was
higher with prices lower. Plant
capacity was greatly increased in the
cement industry but with lower
prices there was no accumulation.

States Prospered During Last Year

Assets Estimated at $10,000,000,000 More Than They Were One Year Ago

Furs were active. Wool declined
but present indications are that the
market is gaining strength. The
textile trades are still in a state of
somewhat acute depression and some
went out of business during the last
six months.

Mail order houses have enjoyed
very good business since the first of
January. Retail trade was affected
some by the cold weather but the
market recovery during the last two
months indicated that buying had
been merely postponed. There has
been some improvement in the textile
manufacturing although profits have
not been as great due to declining
prices.

Chaotic conditions still noted in
the bituminous coal industry. Some.

Cost Of Making It Hot For Corn Borer

HE cost of fighting the European
T corn borer with fire is not as
high as many would think.
According to E. C. Mandenberg of
the State Bureau of Agricultural In-
dustry the cost of burning borer in-

fested standing corn is between $13 4

and $14 per acre, and he ought to
know having helped in the recent
experiment covering several weeks
in the infested areas of Monroe
county.

The clean up work in the south-
eastern Michigan is under the direc-
tion of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Dr. L. H. Worthley,
federal entomologist in charge, has
not computed the exact cost of burn-
ing in this state. Between 80 and
100 gallons of oil per acre are be
ing consumed and the two crews
each are covering about 10 acres a
day. Under favorable conditions
each burner cleans up around 15
acres a day.

vorably impressed with the cooper-
ation given by Michigan farmers in
the clean up campaign this spring.
In his opinion they appear to have
sensed the seriousness of the borer
situation and are doing all in their
power to reduce the 1926 infestation
in Michigan. He believes Michigan
farmers have cleaned up their fields
much better than Ohio farmers.‘

Banks in the quarantine area
share in the credit for the thorough-
ness with which infested fields are
being cleaned up, according to Man-
denberg. They have permitted the
state department of agriculture to
set up corn borer exhibits in their
banks and have run advertisments
in local newspapers urging farmers
to inspect the exhibits. By means
of photographs and specimens the
state department of agriculture has
endeavored to picture to the public
the prospective losses to result from
the borers if permitted to increase
unrestricted.

reaction which followed. Hundreds
of mines are still closed. Produc-
tion has been considerable above
consumption with the public appar-
ently in no frame of mind to fill
their bins for the next winter.

The general average for commod-
ity prices has been fairly steady, al-
though the trend is unmistakably
downward.

What of the Future?

The outlook for the remainder of
1926 is subject to change on short
notice but as a whole looks fairly
good to us.

Michigan will probably have less
wheat than a year ago with the
nation’s crop larger this year than
last. The rye crop will no doubt
be the smallest since 1913. Oats
and barley are expected to be below
a year ago in yield. So the real
surplus in grains, if any, will come
in corn, apparently.

Fruits suffered some from frost
but in general prospects are for a
large crop with profitable prices.
Dairying is in very good condition
and the market for meat animals
will undoubtedly hold its own and
many are expecting higher prices be-
cause of the short pig crop this
spring-

Economists warn us that produc-
tion proceeded at such a fast pace
during the first six months of this
year that it somewhat outstripped
demand, which would naturally cause
manufacturers and producers to hesi-
tate until orders caught up with the
accumulated stocks. The usual (16--
cline is upon us and will remain for
a couple of months perhaps but bus—
inessmen plan on this regularly and
discount it in advance.

In general the experts are declar—
ing themselves of the opinion that
before the close of 1926 we will
see a very prosperous period.

CANNOT TRANSFER LICENSE
PLATES

I would like to know if auto car
licenses can be transferred from one
car to another and can be used that
way?——B. E. S., Williamston, Mich.

ICHIGAN’S vehicle law positive-
ly prohibits transferring lic-
ense plates from one car to an-

other and there could be a no more ‘
flagrant violation of the law than
to do so. License plates are the
identification for the particular car
for which they are issued on an ap-
plication signed by the owner of the
car in which he gives the engine
number, style of body, etc., of the
car he desires to register, and this
application becomes a permanent
record in the office of the Secretary
of State—Chas. J. DeLand, Secre-
tary of State.

MUST HAVE PROPERTY
TO COVER BOND

A person in Lakefield Towuship
holds the oflice of treasurer who has
just a claim on their place, another
person goes bonds who owns about
as much. Is it legal for a person to
go another’s bonds unless they are
worth a certain sum? Who would
have to stand good if the bondsman
isn’t worth it, the town?—Reader
of. Lakefield, Michigan.

BONDSMAN is required to
A swear under oath that he has'

suflicient property free and
clear to cover the amount of the
bond. If neither the bondsman nor
the principal can make the bond
good, the township, or person‘ to

whom the bond runs would stand
the loss—Legal Editor.

RED KIDNEY BEANS
Would you please give me some in-
formation on the planting, culture
and harvesting of the red kidney
beans?———W. E. B. Clare, Michigan.

E advise the planting of eighty
VK’ pounds of red kidney beans to

the acre, in rows 28 or 30 in-
ches apart, depending upon the type
of drill you may have. These beans
should be put in on a well prepared
seed bed and cultivated at such in—
tervals as you think necessary, de—
pending upon the growth of small
weeds. I have found, here at the
station, that two cultivations are just
as good as more, if the soil is in
good condition.

The beans are harvested as the
the pea beans, by the bean puller,
which carries two rows into one, and
forked together or rolled together
by means of the curved tooth side
delivery hay rake. The ordinary
bean thresher machinery is used for
the threshing of the kidney beans.

fessor of Farm Crops, M. S. C.

wrio PAYS FOR HAULING MILK?

We rented a farm last year where
we owned all stock and gave owner
one-third. Our contract said we
were to haul all produce to market.
Now he says we have to pay him for‘
hauling his third of the milk. Does
that clause include hauling of milk?
——Mrs. B. M., Middleton, Mich.

Milk the understanding at the
outset and general practices in

thi county should be the guiding

leases which I have studied that
where there is an established milk
route, that each party bears their
share of the cost of hauling of milk.

FEED GARBAGE TO HOGS

Is there such a law or state law
compelling me to vaccinate my hogs
for cholera because I am feeding
garbage? They say we have to vac-
cinate or quit feeding this—C. A. B.,
White Cloud, Michigan.

THERE is a state law which re-
quires the vaccination of hogs
fed upon garbage produced else-

where than on the premises of the

owner of the hogs. Your attention
is directed to the latter portion of

Section 19 of Act 181 of the Public

Acts of 1919, which states:

“The feeding of swine upon gar~
bage, either raw or cooked, obtain—
ed elsewhere than upon the
premises where fed, is prohibited,
unless such hogs shall have been in-
noculated with hog-cholera serum

under the official supervision of the ‘

Department of Animal Industry”. '

Aside from the legal requirements, ‘
the feeding of garbage to unvaccin-
ated hogs is a very unwise procedure.
There is always danger of garbage
containing hog cholera virus and
cholera will ultimately develop if the
material is fed to hogs not immun-
ized against the disease—B. J. Kill-
ham, State Veterinarian.

"The Farm Paper of Service"

PLEASURE CAR OR COMMERCIAL VEHICLE?

E have been receiving inquiries from sub-
scribers in different parts of the state about
the right of farmers to haul their own pro-

ducts to and from market in their pleasure cars
without commercial vehicle license plates. Some
state they have heard that farmers are being ar-
rested for carrying just butter and eggs or a can
of cream in their automobile bearing passenger
car license plates, but we have received no evi-
dence to date to substantiate these rumors, How-
ever, if any of our readers know of such cases
we wish they would write to us giving complete
details, because there is no law in Michigan war-
ranting such arrests.

A farmer, or any other person, can haul his
own product back and forth to market, or any
other place, with passenger car license plates,
according to Secretary of State DeLand, but the
minute he performs such service for other per-
sons and makes a charge therefor, his motor
vehicle comes under the commercial car rating
as it is used for hire. The’ same would be true
as relates to the carrying of passengers; when
the owner of a motor vehicle makes a charge for
such service he is required to title and license
his vehicle as a commercial vehicle and is re-
quired as well to have a chauffeur's license under
the law.

Because of this general misunderstanding in
rural districts Commissioner Alan G. Straight, of
the State Department of Public Safety, has is-
ued the following statement: .

"Act 302 of the Public Acts of 1915 as amend-
ed by the Legislature in 1925, which defines
‘commercial vehicle' as all motor vehicles used
for the transportation of passengers for hire and
those constructed or used for the transportation
of goods, wares or merchandise, might be inter-
preted as prohibiting the use of pleasure cars for
hauling small amounts of grain or produce to
town or the hauling of sample cases, camp equip-
ment, etc. However, this Department does not
place that interpretation on the law. We believe
that a farmer or any other citizen has the right
to use his pleasure car for the hauling of his own
produce to town or for hauling other articles of
merchandise for himself, without being compelled
to purchase a Commercial License for the car.
We believe that the Legislature intended this par-
ticular section to apply only to those vehicles
used or constructed solely for the purm of
hauling passengers for hire or for hauling

freight. "
The State Police throughout the state have

been instructed not to make any arrests for al-
leged violations of this section of the law where
a pleasure vehicle maybe used to haul produce
or personal goods by the owner, so you can con-
tinue to use your faithful ilivver for this pur-
pose, just as you have in the past, without fear
that you are violating any of our laws.

ROADSIDE VANDALISM

T is most interesting to note the way the city
press throughout the country is condemning

' the destruction of trees and flowers along
the country road and the defllement of choice
spots of nature by the city autoist. They have

neglected this matter too long, but “better late ~

than never."
Country-side vandals have been slow getting

into acflonthieyoarbeeaauofiheletaeoldu

- W D“
ed or pulled up §by the rec. y -
later discarded, tree branches broken and the"

   
 

  

trunks defaced with carvings, while scattered
about are empty tin cans, broken bottles, news-.5
papers and garbage. Also fences are bften de-
strayed.

Many motorists declare the farmer is most hos-
tile toward them. , Of course this is selddm true.
but certainly he has reason enough to be. Let
the farmer and his family go into the city and
destroy property, then see how quick the city
folks will become angry and demand that the
offenders be taken in hand by oflicers of the law.

The country-side vandals do not use their
brains for the purpose they were created: in fact,
they become nearly paralyzed from the want of
use. The majority of this class of people use
the same amount of judgment in driving their
cars that they do in the destruction of property
in the country. They ignore traffic rules and
regulations, while courtesy is not in their vocabu-
lary. As a whole they are ignorant and unread,
so it is doubtful if an educational campaign
through the press can do much good but even
water will Wear away stone, and it the papers
will keep everlastingly at it possibly some re-
sults will be obtained.

PIONEERING STORIES
TORIES on the early history of different sec-
tions of Michigan and about the trials and
tribulations of the early settlers are coming
in and we feel sure this contest is going to be a
real popular one. Certainly we are getting some
interesting, true stories that our subscribers will
read with deep interest, just as they did “Pio-
neering in Michigan” by Mr. Ed. C. Allen. And,
by the way, Mr. Allen has given us a few more
facts to add to his story which we will publish
along with letters and stories from our sub-
scribers.

It is possible that some of our readers have
overlooked previous announcements about this
pioneering story contest we are conducting so we
want to repeat our offer. We want {true stories
about early pioneer days in Michigan, stories

about our state and its early settlers, beginning .

back in the days when there were no railroads
and settlers had to clear a place in the woods
before they could build a log cabin, something
along the line of “Pioneering in Michigan" which
recently appeared in our columns, and we know
many of our readers are prepared to give us just
such stories, so we have started a contest to get
them. This contest does not close until August
first so you will have ample time to send in your
true story, and possibly you may win-the first
prize of $6.00 we offer, or second prize of $3.00,
or third prize of $2.00. Even if you are not
successful in winning one of these prizes you will
get $1.00 if we publish your story because we are
going to pay $1.00 for each additional letter or
story we use besides the three prize winners.
You “old timers" who have made history- in
Michigan have told your story to your children
and grandchildren, but why let it stop at that?

- Why not send us your story so that the younger

generation on at least 75,000 Michigan farms may

WE THANK YOU

T is very interesting to note the way you folks
are responding to Mrs. Taylor’ 8 request to
help give some poor children dacatlons on

the farm. So far. we understand, she has found
homes for around forty or fifty of these young? ,
sters, fer from one week to all summer, and
nearly every mail brings more letters from sub-
scribers anxious to help. Many express a desire
to adopt one or more Of these children if they
take a liking to them so it is quite possible that
some of the homeless youngsters will find a regu-
lar home and a father and mother. Ifthere are
any of you who would like to take‘part in this
work but have not written in just’ remember that
there is plenty of time yet and Mrs. Taylor would
like to hear from you as she has a long list of
youngsters waiting for opportunities to go to the
country. ‘

“SOME BABY"
Ythe time you read this Michigan’s 1926

baby chick shipping season will be practic- ‘ l'

ally closed, only a few extending their oper-
ations longer than this date, and it is expected
that the final figures will show it to be theheavi-
est ,on record. /Although the figures have not
been tabulated leading hatcherymen in the baby
chick belt of Ottawa county estimate that ship-
ments this season will total over 8, 000, 000 baby
chicks.
Yes sir, Michigan’s baby chick industry is
“some baby”, and growing- larger each year.

‘OAN YOU BEAT THIS?

0RD cemes to us that a bull calf born on

the farm of James Watchorn, near Fayette,

Upper Peninsula, recently weighed 126
pounds two and one-half days after birth. It is
of Shorthorn-Guernsey stock and believed tohe
the largest calf ever dropped byra cow in Mich-
igan and possibly the United States. This, is
about twice the size of the average calf. Have
you ever heard of any calf that would beat this
record, or even approach it?

GRAVE QUESTIONS

0NE man lists the feeding of chickens among
the possible uses of electricity on the farm.

He strings electric lights around his poultry
yard and these attract bugs which the hens ~ap-
preclate. Several interestingquestions arise here
to which the attention of research men is called.
How long ought a hen to stay awake at night to "
consume bugs? Is any kind of a hen-alarm nec-
essary to keep her awake until she absorbs the
bugs? What kind of bugs are most nutritious?
What color or colors of lights attract the bugs
which contain the greatest amount of total solids
adapted to the nutrition of hens? . These ques-
tions and others, with such minor matters as the
cost of lights as compared with the nutritive

\ value of the bugs, ought to keep a few scientists

out of mischief for a while.

PETER PIDW’S PHILOSOPHY

Adcordin’ to figures given out at Washington
there is one auto to every 71 people in the
world, while in the United States there is one auto
to every six people. And the way most autos

are loaded with folks there can’t be more than
one pedestrian to every auto in this country.
.Yet some folks think this country should be wet
agin.

SAVING GASOLINE

Can you tell us. anything about
theeegaeoline savers advertised quite
extensively at present? Some of
them claim you can get from thirty
to forty miles or better out of a gal-
lon of gas if you have one on your
car. What do you think of them?-—-
Reader, Mason County. .

PEAKING from personal experi-
ence we can tell you very little
about these so-called gasoline

savers, because we have never had
any experience with them nor have
we seen them in operation, but we
’ are inclined to believe that if any of
them were one-tenth as good as
claimed by the manufacturers most
autos would come from the factory
already equipped with them. Small
gas consumption is a talking point
inthe sale of any car nowadays and
every motorist proudly boasts about
how little gas his "bus" uses.

It is freely predicted by leading
engineers that it is only a matter of
a few years before nature’s supply
of gasoline will be completely ex-
hausted and experts are working con-
stantly to perfect inventions to de-
crease the consumption of each car.
If any of these attachments were
successful they would soon have the
hearty endorsement of the auto-
motive industry and the public at
large.

We received a letter from the

Wrigley Pharmaceutical Company
informing us that this was the third
time they had written us (but it was
the first letter we received from
them) and they wanted to tell us
about Spearmint toothpaste, which
‘ they were manufacturing and adver-
tising in national magazines. To
any representative person willing
‘ and desirous of advertising and
boosting it, they offer the opportun-
ity of being a, stockholder on an
exceptional basis. All we had to do
was send them a check for _$10.00
and they would issue to us 10 shares
of their Class A stock par value $1
per share. Also they would send us
twenty-four tubes of Spearmint
tooth paste, their regular 25c size
for our home use. This made $10
worth of stock and $6 worth of
tooth paste, a total. of $16.00 in

stock and tooth paste, all for $10.00,

name Wrigley made us think of
chewing gum, and sure enough, the
letter was signed “W. W. Wrigley,
President." We were just about to
get out the check book and were
thinking up a letter .to write the
company suggesting that they send
us only twelve tubes of tooth paste
and make the rest of the shipment
chewing gum thus saving our oilice
girls some money, when we noticed
the address of the company, “Board-
walk, Near Million Dollar Pier, At-
lantic City, N. J." it read. Some-
thing wrong here some place, we de-
cided. We were almost ‘sure the
chewing gum company had its head-
Yes, some-
thing was decidedly wrong, we
found upon further investigation,
because the chewing gum king is
William Wrigley, Jr., while the pres-
ident of. this company is W. W.
Wrigley.

This got our “Sherlock Holmesing
instinct," or whatever you call it,
aroused and we made up our mind
to solve the problem.

The company is incorporated un-
der the laws of Delaware for $1,-
500,000.00 with the stock divided
into 1,000,000 voting and 500,000
Class A non-voting shares, with par
value of $1.00 each. Nothing is said
about the earnings of the company
gross or net, or dividends paid.
Neither William Wrigley, Jr., or his
company has any interest whatso-
ever in or connection with this con-
cern operating at Atlantic City.

The National Better Business Bu-
reau reports great reluctance on the
part of the company or its represent-
atives to disclose the kind of finan-
cial information which concerns
seeking to interest investors are or-
dinarily glad to give and report the
bid on these unlisted stocks on the
market as considerable below what
is asked for them. ""

The result was, we kept our
$10.00 and we hope you will do the
same if you get one of the com-
pany’s letters.

 

UNORDERED MERCHANDISE

ROM time to time we receive let-

‘ ters from subscribers regarding

unordered merchandise which
they received through the mails.
The matter includes such articles as
neckties, soap and holiday post cards,
and the recipient is asked to remit
for or return the goods.

Persons .who receive such mer-
chandise are under no obligation to
pay for it (unless they use it), nor
even to return it. They may return
it to the postman marked “Refused”
if they care to. If the shipper does
not send for it promptly the ad-
dressee is relieved of legal liability
for its‘safekeeping.

One way to end an advertising
nuisance is to make it unprofitable.

SOME CANNING SUGGESTIONS
ANNED vegetables and fruits
may spoil simply because they
were not washed clean before
they were canned. The soil contains
bacteria which causes spoilage. Peas,
beans, and asapragus should be
washed before anything else is done
to them. Berries should be washed
before they are hulled as well as
after. If washed in a strainer, the
water may be run over them until it
is clear as it comes thru the strain—
er. A vegetable brush is .a great
help in cleaning some vegetables.
Two hours from garden to can is
one of the best slogans in canning
all the vegetables. They should be
handled While they are fresh and
crisp instead of after they have lain
over night or for a half day or more.
Even tho the dew is wet in the
morning, it is far better to pick the
peas, beans, sweet corn and other
vegetables in the early morning and
can them right away than to pick
them the night before While they
are dry, hot, and wilted. Flat sour
may start by morning in the vegeta-
bles that are picked at night and al—
lowed to lie until the next morning.

RAISING CHILDREN

E do indeed consider the M. B.

F. or rather the folks behind

it real friends. Please forgive
us for not keeping you supplied
with funds. We have had an awful
time to make both ends meet, hence
the delay. Will send you a couple
of dollars this fall if possible so as
to be friends at least seven years
longer. We think your paper is just
splendid. Can’t say what is the best
feature but are sure glad to have the
preacher with us for one thing. The
M. B. F. is the only paper we take
as we do not get much time to read
and prefer it to all others.

Here is,something for the wo-
men’s page.‘ A, few things that ex-
perience has taught me. Do you love
your babies? Then work for them.
You owe more to your own family
than to anyone in the world. Keep
them clean and comfortable. Give
them plenty of fresh air and good
food. Be sure they get enough of
the right food. Do not worry'about
them, nor about the work, but ask
God to give you courage, wisdom,

 
  

  

patience, and ‘ strength and work,
with a will. If you aren't strong,
plan t e. Lie

0 save

 

   

waste your time on fancy work, nor
on too many fancy dishes. Good
food is necessary, fancy food is not.
Be fair with them in everything.
Above all teach them to love God
and their fellowmen. Pray with
them and for them, and don't for-
get we shall have to account for ev-
erything we do or leave undone, so
let us say little. and think much,
worry little and work much. And
what is so important as salvation?
Do not put it off, come and be saved
today. Jesus is the way. He died
to save sinners. For God so loved
the world that He gave His only be-
gotten Son, that all who believe on
Him should not perish but have ev-
erlasting life—Mrs. H., Kalamazoo,
Mich.

When the Hat Should be “Tipped."—
Hat—tipping is one of those extremely
useful “small change" courtesies which
covers a multitude of occasions. Very
often it takes the place of a remark, the
wordless gesture calling attention to some
little politeness offered. A man "tips"
his hat:

1. When offering a seat in any public
place or conveyance to a stranger. Cir-
cumstances—If you are hanging to a
strap, for instances—may make it im—
possible the right hand to "tip" the hat.
In that case uso the left.

2. When restoring some little article
to the lady who has dropped it.

3. When at the door of a. building he
steps aside to let a woman enter.

4. To acknowledge a stranger's cour-
test in offering a seat to the lady he is
escorting. When the latter is thanked
he again raises his hat.

5. When a lady who is a. stranger.

tor, vestibule or conveyance.

The Runner’s Bible

 

 

Ask, and ye shall receive, .that your
joy may be fulL——John 16:24.

Ye lust and" have not; ye kill and are
jealous, and cannot obtain: ye fight and
war; ye have not because ye ask not.
Ye ask and' receive not, because ye ask
amiss, that ye may spend it in your
pleasures.—-James 4:2-3 (E. B. V.).

The pleasures of this world—-of the
flesh-—are always followed sooner or
later by pain; they never make "the joy
full." On the contrary, buttemess never
trials after pleasures that come through
the workings of spiritual law.

How I Can Rhubarb In Cold Water.—
Some windy day when our wind mill and
pump brings plenty of fresh water in our
little tank, I take my quart fruit jars,
clean them, put new rubbers and fit cov-
ers to see if they are air tight. Then I
get my rhubarb, wash it and cut it in
inch pieces, fill the cans with it, as many
as I want, then take one and hold the
can with rhubarb beneath the water in
the little tank till can is filled to over—
flowing and hold it there. Do not lift it
out of the water but put cover on under-
neath the water so that no air will get
to it. Do not lift can out of the water
and then put cover on, that is not the
right way. Be sure covers are just on
tight so that no water or air will escape.
It is cheap and an easy way and they
will keep a. long time. They are nice
and fresh in the winter and can be made
up in many delicious ways.-—-A. Reader,
Alamo, Michigan.

HAVING TROUBLE WITH PEACH
TREES

Would like to know the trouble
and what to do for it. I had a peach
tree that is or was an old fashioned
seedling that came true from the pit.
A Crawford, I think. ,I came here
three years ago and this tree had
come up in three parts._ The first
year the leaves curled up and came
oi! and then it leaved out the second
time, last year I sprayed it with bor-
deaux and it looked fine and was
full of peaches. Just as they began
to ripen we had a rain and two of
the branches were covered with
something like jelly, awfully bad
and they died and the peaches dried
up before ripening. I cut those two
down this spring and the other

branch blossomed, then died. I set
four out two years ago. They blos-
somed this spring. One late Craw-
ford had one limb die. Yesterday

I saw some of that jelly on it and on
pressing on the tree found the bark
under is all dead. The tree is al—
most all dead now. There are just

a couple of green stripes of bark and

the rest is dead. I would like to

know what the trouble is and a rem-
edy if any.——D. J. R., Burlington,

Michigan.

WHEN the leaves curled up and
came off, your peach tree was
suflering from the leaf-curl di-

sease, which weakens a tree and is

controlled by spraying with lime-
sulphur solution early in the spring
while the tree is still dormant. The
other condition which you describe
is not a disease in itself but is a.
sign of weakness due to some other
cause. A number of things may
cause this gum-flow and the only
way to prevent it is to keep the tree
in a healthy and disease—free con-
dition. Wet ground, borers, winter
injury, yellows, leaf-curl, brown—rot
are all troubles which may weaken

a tree and cause gumminess.

We wOuld suggest that first of all
you pull the dirt away from around

‘ the base of the tree and dig out the

borers “with a wire or a knife, and

later maund the dirt up again. Then,
if the tree survives the winter, give
it an early spring application of man-

' ure‘ or' nitrate, head back the limbs .

severely and spray with lime- sul-

, phur before the buds swell. Never

spray it peach tree with bordeaux or

Dear Uncle Ned: —I will rap at your
merry circle door again, but this time I
am going to tell you about a very inter-

esting picnic we attended ,May 26,. 1926..

It was given by our teacher. Jane Sims.
I am sure most of the cousins would be
interested in a school picnic would they
not be, Uncle Ned? ’

Our storekeeper has two cars. A' large
truck and a beautiful Chrysler. His son
took'the truck and he took the Chrysler.
All that had no way of going or had no
car ’of their own went in the truck. We
all arrived out there , at 11:30. The
teacher took pictures of the school chil—
dren before we ate our lunch. It sure
was a big and delicious lunch. If I told
you all that we had, cousins and Uncle
Ned, . it would take until dark to name
them. We also played games before we
ate our dinner. All the larger girls spread
pretty cloths on the ground and spread
out the delicious foods. We had ice
cream, lemonade, cakes, cookies, sand-
wiches, pickles, etc. After noon we play-
ed ball a while then every one went down
to the beach. Some of the younger ones
went in wading until about 3:30. They
all dressed their feet and then we gath-
ered our dishes together, put on our
coats and hats and started for home.
We had a wonderful trip home. I wish
the cousins and Uncle Ned could have
been there at the picnic to join us.

The Builder! of the filepkone

 

 

SPANNINC the country,
under rivers, across prairies
and over mountain ranges,
the telephone builders have
carried the electric wires of
their communication net-
work.

Half a century ago the
nation’s telephone lant
was a few hundred eet of
wire and two crude instru-
ments. The only builder
was Thomas A. Watson,
Dr. Bell’s assistant.

. 'It was a small beginning,
but the work then started
will never cease. In 50
years many million miles
of wire have been strung,
many million telephones

have been installed, and
all over the country are
buildingswithswitchboards
and the complicated appa-
ratus for connecting each
telephone with an other.
The telephone’s builders
have been many and their
lives have been rich in ro.
mantic adventure and un-
selfish devotion to the
service.

Telephone builders are
still extending and rebuild-
ing the telephone plant. A
million dollars a day are be-
mg expended in the Bell
System in construction
work to provide for the
nation’s growing needs.

Of Michigan, and
its mission was,

Michigan farm-

their own, edit—
ed and owned in
their own state, Naturally, it the
paper fulfills its mission for Michi-
gan farmers, it will contain much of
general interest for farmers in other
states. Several papers come to us
from far distant states, and all are
very interesting and contain much
food for thought as one reads of the
local conditions they print about
their home states. But of course
they are like the newspapers we get

the first paper we read is our own

So with THE BUSINESS FARMER—
it seems its list of readers reaches
far beyond the state lines. For
some time I have been aware it was
read by many outside the state, but
not until today did I realize it had
readers in such distant lands as the
Hawaiian Islands. But today’s mail
brought a letter to me from this far
away isle. The writer, Mr. R. S.‘
Kusaka, is interested in the produc—
tion of potatoes, and evidently con-
eludes that methods practiced by
growers in Michigan, U. S. A., would
be of some use to him in his own
work, and therefore the correspond—
ence. The letter is nicely typewrit-

Our. New Sprayer

When we began growing potatoes
for certification, we added a potato
sprayer to the list of potato machin-
ery. It was a power machine with a
1%, horse power gas engine. The
pump was a 2—inch duplex, and to us
it seemed it Would be an ideal out—
fit. It has answered the purpose
fairly well, and if there were none

.more powerful it, no doubt would

be considered efficient; but our ex—
perience of the past four years has
taught us the more pressure with
which we can apply Bordeaux to our
potato vines, the more satisfactory
will be the results. Therefore we
have a new three—inch triplex pump
to be driven with a three-horse en—
gin. This will keep a pressure of
250 pounds constantly on 12 noz-
zles.

A large sprayer factory is located
in ‘a near-byeity, so we went direct—
ly to the factory ,and had an outfit
assembled to suit our fancy and I
guess it does all right inmore ways
than one, for it was a fancy price!
However, we ,are reminded of the
slogan of. one of the wholesale hard-
ware companies, “The satisfaction of
qaulity remains long after the price
is forgotten." This slogan often
comes to our thought when making
a purchase of any kind. Experience

,has taught us it is a good policy to

pay a good price and expect a good
thing, and when it comes to buying
any thing which is expected to, and

should last for many years, like a,
potato sprayer, theinvestment of a“

‘v as. extra” dollars is: mone well
spent? , n '

home paper of.

  

Our experience in spraying pota-
toes for certification has proven to
usxthat it would pay to spray pota-

toss grown for table stock.~ The

Bordeaux mixture seems to act as a
tonic for the vines, and, when prop-
erly applied ’with high pressure
which costs the entire plant with
the solution, a sort of cOpper plate

is the result. This is a protection,

fungus, and ’ is very oflensive to

Quito Refreshing,

It is quite refreshing to read of a ’

farmer who is satisfied with farm-
ing. Many men like myself, like
farming andconsider it the best V0-

cation On earth—shut to be satisfied

with farming is rather slighting the
word “satisfied.” However, 0. V.
Gibbs, of Calhoun county in his let-
ter of June 19, in “What the Neigh-
bors Say" department seems to be
satisfied with farming, and his letter
is well worth reading. The writer
would not have G. V. G. become dis—
satisfied with his vocation, yet he
thinks the Calhoun reader’s article
needs a little revising G. V. G. says
“What difference would it make if
the farmer got 25 cents for his hogs
and 20 cents for cattle and four dol-
lars for wheat. He would have a
better car, a. finer victrola, electric
lights, bath and running water—-
and buy more gas.” Well, isn’t that
difference enough? You seem to
think a farmer should be satisfied
without these modern cOnveniences.
Pray tell me who is more entitled
to these things than a farmer? Is
a shop or office men more entitled
to a bath room with.modern fix-
tures than a farmer who necessarily
works more or less in dust and dirt?

‘G. V. G. doesn’t _-Say that if the
farmers got the above prices they
would "pay Off their debts, but they
would. They would paint their
buildings, and their homes would
look as nice as the homes of their
City brethern.

'G. V. G. would infer that any‘man
on a farm needs an investment of
only $300 cash, and a debt of $1200

to enable him to get “his rent, fuel,‘

bring up a family, keep an auto,
have a radio and go to a movie twice
a week,” by working 208 days in
a year.

Two hundred eight days in a year
would be 26 days a month from
April lst to Dec. 1st and he says he
doesn’t think any farmer will aver—
age that. If the writer of this col-
umn knows anything about farming
he would say that from April let
to Dec. lst, the average farmer puts
in about 300 days, calling eight
hours a day's work. From Dec. 181:
to April let all the farmers I know
will average six days a week in la—
bor and half of them seven days, for
Sundays are working days on most
farms around here, as stock must be
cared for on the Sabbath, as well as
on other days.

If a man, as G. V. G. says, has,

only an investment of $1500, and
that for tools, etc., he must of neces-
sity be a renter, and how a man can
be a renter with only the above in~
vestment and, by working only 208
days a year pay his rent, either cash
or share, and enjoy what G. V. G.
says they can, is beyond my compre-
hension.

G. V. G. says he has a farm of
1200 acres, and slod last year $2,-
183.26 worth. Besides this he prac-
tically had his living.
bad showing. all from the work of
one man for 208 days.

I don’t, know what his investment
is in the farm, Or the line of pro-
duction in which he ‘is interested.
Possibly this $2,183.26 would .be all

TEXT: “The church that is in their

' house. 1 Corinthians 18:19.

SHORT distanceirom my home

is a good neighbor who lives in

an old—fashioned farm house.
This house is not diflerent from
many others in that it is large and
comfortable; has a place to cook, a
place to eat, and a place to sleep.
But it is different in this: Between
two large social 'rooms there is a
panneled and portable partition.
Now, what is this for? Well, years
ago church would meet in this
house. The partition would be
thrown back and the neighbors
would gather for social worship.
Fragrant memories! Blessed are the
folks that have church in their
house. . ‘ » ,

We shall note first, that in the
days of our text, the heads of many
households must have been Christ-
ian. and patriarchal like, promoted
a home religion. Of course, the
lack of church-houses and the sus~
plcious pagan eye drove the Christ-
ians to these more intimate centers;
but these homes were thrown open
for sacred worship because the par—
ents were teaching and living the
Christian code of life. Domestic re-
ligion was not so woefully neglected
as today. The Christian household—
er liked the fragance of a religious
atmosphere. He had church in his
house. And it was this home reli-
gion that bred heralds of passion
who carried the' gospel to the remot-
est parts cf the Roman world in
two centuries.

Ye parents, do you have church
in your house? Are you meeting
the sacred challenge to unite your
family. thru faith, to Jesus Christ?
Your children can do nothing else
than conform to the moral type of
life furnished them in the home.
You create the atmosphere that is
daily nurturing, the roots of their
lives . In the home religion pays big
dividends. Blessed are the parents
that make home happy with the vir-
tues and sunshine of religion.

The home is central in all of
life’s relationships. The seeds of
failure or success in life's wider
areas are sown in the home. Every
life needs the furniture of the soul
properly arranged, coordinated, and
polished. The business of balanced
living is no child’s play it takes
thought; but it takes faith. If
one's life lacks faith: lacks reli-

gion; the one reaches a cherished-

goal in terms of the world, yet one’s
career has been wasted. Your re-
lationships classify your life. They
tell where you are living. The man
who has left out faith and service, :

‘or seeks religion only to use as a.

handmaiden to promote business
connections or worldly advances
ment, is to end up that last day,
robbed and. pauperized. His life
shall have paid _God no dividends
and he has missed the prize. All
the while he has been chasing a
mirage.

Now, the keynote of living that is
struck in the home determines the
harmoney that is to be given all of
life. It is in the home that the
children are to be put in tune with
the Infinite; that a consciousness of
God is to be established. Without
this, we cannot have an abiding re-
ligion anywhere else.‘

But one who wishes to see life
black and doleful, has a good mark
in the average modern home. The
evening is on. It has been a har-
rassing day for dad and mother.
The children are hastily sent off to
bed without a goodnight smile or
sunbeam story. And there are left
two worldly-hardened parents sit-
ting around theevening lamp figure
ing out a way to get another car.
“Bonds coming down,” “panic,” said

a voice on yesterday’s train. “Non-v

sense,” said a lady back of me. “We
have kits of money. See how folks
are buying care. Go out on the road,

showed that some greased—hair, har—
um-scarum sons with /some bobbed-
hair “flapper" daughters had parked
on the church ground to spoon. Why
all this? Father has been too busy
making money and paying the bills;
and mother has been helping father.
There has been no quiet and no
chance to impress family life and
religion.- God cannot be mocked.
Sowing to the wind in the home is
to reap the‘ whirlind out of it.

Yes, we have some home‘religio'n.
But it is a formal and private affair.
Children ‘learn to say prayers, but
in a lonesome, mechanical way.
When they leave the home, their re-
ligion is left behind for safe—keeping.
Why? Because religion has not be-
come a unitary fact in the life. It
had been kept in a private compart-
ment. It had not been talked about
in the family life and is not made
much of anywhere else, so why- dis—
play it? The children may go to
church and Sunday school, and bow
and kneel and say prayers, and sit
obediently through a sermon; and
then go home to dinner to hear
about the big things going on in the
world (big money, big cars, big rail—
roads, big murders, big divorces) or
a discussion as to where to take the
afternoon drive. What “fool" homes
we do have! But they are made so
by “fool" parents whose eyes are
blinded by the leer of the money-
god.

But not all. In Northern Michi-
gan is a young father who writes to
seek help. He says ,“I have child-
ren of Sunday school age, and the
problem of helping these youngsters
to become real 'men and women, ne—
cessitates them receiving the impres—
sions of proper living, justice, truth,
love, and service while still at this
early-age. “Pigs is pigs,’ but kids
are to be more than kids, and here
is a man that realizes it. And I like
to think of his wife as one who loves
the career of home-making. Let us
have more mothers who know how
to do wholesome cooking, make
good. apple-pie, who can sew and
mend for the children; and who,
withal’, attend to the higher instincts
thru the media of the family bible.
and good books and music. Such
parents will foster wholesome and
compelling religion in the home.

“Let them learn first to show pi-
ety at home," is the stern word of
the apostle. If religion is to be a
saving force in the world it must be
rooted and nourished in the home.
A Brooklyn judge, in remarks on
the remedy for a “jazz age,” said,
“We are convinced that the most
essential remedy is a revaluation of
religious influences in the home.
The perfect home is that which
trains its sons and daughters, not
only in body and mind, but also in
the spirit.” “But also in the spirit"
is lacking in many nominally Christ—
ian homes. This accounts for so
many young folks joining the non-
church crowd. .

To learn to first show piety at
home is to be decent and faithful
elsewhere. In many respects we are
in a spiritual decay, and if we are
not to lose our soul altogether, we
must return to a religion that will
convert our money and possessions
into sympathy, service, and brother-
hood. ‘* The church must come back
home to live.

. FLY NETS
TRAWPILES and hay in the
bottom of feed racks make two
of the best places around the
buildings for files to breed. A foot
or two of rotting hay in a. feed rack
or a strawpile rotting near the barn—
yard will mean flies by the millions
all summer. If this hay and straw-
is scattered on the fields or pastures
where it will be dry most of the
time, it will harbor few files.

During July and August, when pastures become
scanty or parched, a good concentrate ration should be pro-
vided to prevent a drop in milk flow and to keep the cows
in good flesh.

With Linseed Meal constituting a large portion
of such ration you can easily avoid a summer slump and is-
sure full fall production, without resorting to heavy barn
feeding to force a “comeback".

Linseed Meal with its
high protein content and fine
conditioning qualities pays as
high as 100% profit with all
farm animals. It does more than
maintain; it hastens gains. With
hogs on pasture it has proven
worth $76 a ton when substi-
tuted for half the tankage in the
usual cornuand-tankage ration.
Farmers, breeders, feed-
ders, experiment station men,
will tell you about it in our
books, “Dollars and Cents Re-
sults” and “How To Make
Money With Linseed Meal.”

LAMBS NEED CARE DURING
SUMMER MONTHS
HE careful flockmaster will not
neglect his sheep until fall even
though they have been sheared
and the ewes and lambs have been
turned on pasture. During warm
weather the sheep need plenty of
good fresh water and good shade.
These are essential for the comfort
and health of the flock.
“If there are no trees in the pas-

setting four posts in the ground to
support some kind of roof or cover,”
says Turner Wright, extension live-
stock specialist at South Dakota
State College. “This should be high
enough for the sheep to get under
it easily. Some arrangement should
be made for the sheep to get plenty
of good clear water any time they
want it.”

In dry weather when the grass is
short, Mr. Wright advises moving
the lamb creep out to the pasture
and feeding the lambs a little grain
to keep them growing.

“Whole oats and a little shelled
corn or whole oats alone will be fine
for them,” he says. “If the lambs
have learned to eat grain before
they are turned out on pasture these
feeds can be fed whole. If they have
not learned to eat grain, a little
-ground feed should be given them
until they do learn to eat it. A little
oil meal and wheat bran can be add-
ed to the oats and corn for lambs
which are being fed for show but
these feeds are not necessary for the
production of a thrifty farm flock.
If the lambs are to be sold to the
butchers or shipped to market in
early fall, feeding them on pasture
is important.

 

TESTING MILK
What is the average cow kept by
an ordinary farm milk supposed to
test and where can a person get
cow’s milk tested?—L. J. T., Pe-
wamo, Mich.
HE average test of a cow or a
group of cows that furnishes
milk from the average farm
will depend entirely on the breed
that predominates in these animals.
If they are Holsteins or grades
thereof, the milk will test about 3.25
per cent. If from Jersey foundation,
from 4 to 5 per cent. If ordinary

per cent.

Any milk station or cream station
in your vicinity will be glad to test
a sample of milk for you. If you do
not have a station of this kind near
you, you can send a sample of milk
to the College and we will have it
tested here. If you are taking milk
direct from the farm from one cow,
you should first milk the cow out
thoroughly and then stir the milk
up by pouring from one vessel to an-
other at least two or three times.
Then take out a sample and put in
a clean bottle. Cork it tightly and
mail it to The Dairy Department,
M. S. 0., East Lansing, Michigan, by
parcel post. If the sample is cooled
down as soon as it is obtained to as
low a temperature as possible, it
will very likely keep sweet until it
arrives at the cream station where
it is to be tested, even if sent to the
college. If not, one or two drops of
formaldehyde added to a four or
six ounce bottle of milk will pre—
serve the milk until it is tested.—

bandry, M. S. C.

spoil a lot of those that are laid

. season is here. At this season of

the year of‘any rodsters left in the
flock should be considered a nui-
sance and either eaten, canned, or
sold. Prices are higher now than
they will be later in the summer.
Canning chicken is a practical
way of handling several birds at the
same time and a good way to dispose
of the roosters. They should be
well chilled after killing and dress-
ing. The pieces may be packed in
quart jars uncooked or they may be
tried until brown, then packed. The
jars should then be filled with boil—
ing water to within a quarter inch
of the top, and a teaspoon of salt
added to each quart, then partially
sealed and placed in the kettle or
boiler. The choice pieces should be
packed in one group of jars, the
soup meat in another, and the gib—
lets in another. The water in the
boiler should be kept two inches
above the tops of the jars for three
hours while the meat is cooking,

then the jars may be removed and

immediately sealed.

CONCRETE WALDS FOR
HEN HOUSE

Will you please advise me if con-
crete is a satisfactory material for
walls of a hen house if insulated
with air space and shiplap on the
inside and a ventilator system in—
stalled?———H. A. L., Newbury, Michi-
gan.
I MIGHT say that I question the

 

advisability of building a new

house and putting in concrete
walls. If the house is already con—
structed, concrete walls will be satis-
factory if insulated. This can be
done by [putting strips on the wall
and lining up the inside with ship-
lapas you suggested. If you are
building a new house I would con—
struct the side walls With lumber,
which for your territory would pro—
bably be better double bordered
with paper between—Claude M.
Ferguson, Dept. of Poultry Hus-
bandry, M. S. C. .

KENS GET T00 FAT

Do you think Barred Rocks get
fatter than some breeds? We have
lost a lot of hens this spring and I
opened one last week and her liver
was as large as a man’s hand. There
are a lot of them that are too fat.
We feed them Wheat in the morning
and corn at night. We have bran,
ground corn and oats in the feeder
all the time. We kept our hens shut
in the coop all winter. Do you think
they ought to have been out? I like
to raise the larger breeds on account
of raising the chickens with the
hens. Do you think it is good to
use salts once a month in the drink—
ing water for them? Do you think
the Rhode Island Reds get as fat as
the Barred Rocks?———F. W., Owosso,
Michigan.

DO not believe that there is any

'greater tendency for the Barred

Plymouth Rocks to become over-
1y fat than any other of the heavier
breeds such as Wyandottes or Rhode
Island Reds.

Your feeding practice has been
very satisfactory, but my advice
would be to get your birds out of
doors as soon as possible. It is a
good plan to use Epsom Salts in the
drinking water about once a month,
giving the salts at the rate of one
pound per 100 birds.-——C. G. Card,
Professor of Poultry Husbandry,
Michigan State College.

Building Up Markets 1

THE constituent lines of the Michigan Railroad Association will expend 'g
nearly $25,000,000 this year for additions and betterments to the ;
respective properties. These outlays will provide for greater safe-guards to 3
human life, more comfort for the traveling public, increased facilities and ‘-
better freight service. ' i

Michigan Railroads may justly claim more than their modest slogan—
We Serve Michigan. They have contributed to the upbuilding of the
industries of the Commonwealth,” perhaps no other group of rail linesin i
America has done. Two decades of tremendous industrial expansion l

justified this far—sighted policy of the railroads.

In encouraging industrial upvbuilding, the railroads have also, in a
measure, created a Home Market that absorbs the bulk of the products of ,
our farm, orchards, gardens, etc., right at home. So true is this that with ;
increased production, the railroads are annually hauling farm commodities
less and less. All of these—except the hay crop—are consumed at home. l

 
   

" ‘9‘

THIS tremendous Home Market is the ideal market. But the expansion .
policy means more. It has created an outlet for similar products i
grown in other states. ,The track market at Detroit, for instance, handles .
40 different perishable commodities from the cars direct to the dealers—a %
single transfer only. To illustrate: Fresh tomatoes are found at the green
grocers for seven months in the year, thanks to expedited service and the . ,
refrigerator car. Shipments are made from Old Mexico and five southern :
states before the Michigan crop has matured. This is so for the entire

list of fruits and vegetables.

With our present railroad system the average wage earner of today
enjoys a far wider range of delicacies on his table the year round than did
the Kings and Nobles of Europe of a century or more ago.

THE Mchigan Railroad Association, then, takes justifiable pride in

even greater importance to the Home Market, and contribute still more
towards raising the standard of living of all the people. ‘~ 9

”Bankers Optimistic Over Business Outlook

Wheat from Southwest Coming to Market Freely
By W. W. W, Market Editor.

TEEL, which these many years
been called the barometer of
trade, has been making a won-

derful showing this year, the earn-
ings of the big companies exceeding
all past records, increased dividends
being paid to the fortunate share-
holders. Manufacturers genera ] l y
are prosperous, and the builders have
a great record to show in spite of
the unprecedentedly high wages paid
to carpenters, painters, plasterers,
brick layers and others, in many in-
stances wages being 81.50 to $1.75
an hour. It should be added that
the cost of living in the cities has
been much increased, but eyen then
wage earners are much better off.
It certainly cannot be said that the
farmers have profited to any such an
extent, and the farmer’s only re-
source is to invest in time and labor-
saving machinery. Furthermore, in-
tense cultivation on the farm pro-
ducts has become necessary, and un-
improved soil and waste land are be-
coming less frequent than in the
past. Michigan farmers are still
large producers of wheat, and they
are hoping for higher prices later,
but thus far the speculators have
proved a serious obstacle to ad-
vances. Beans will in all probability
continue a leading staple on many
Michigan farms, the soil being well
adapted for their culture, and meth—
ods of improved marketing should
by no means be neglected, these be-
ing times of cooperation. Large
horticultural districts exist in Mich-
igan, and enormous shipments of de-
licious grapes, cherries, plums, straw-

berries, raspberries, peaches, apples,~

pears, melons, etc., are shipped
across Lake Michigan to the Chi-
cago market, where they meet with
much favor. The Michigan fruit
lands are very valuable, and compar—
atively small tracts yield enormous-
ly, there having been a wonderful
development of the grape industry
during recent years. Another ex—
tremely valuable Michigan industry,
that of sheep, is shooting ahead at
a rapid pace, and it is simply im-
possible to fill the buying orders for
high grade breeders.
Report on Pig Survey

“The spring pig crop in the United
States was 1.2 per cent smaller in
1926 than in 1925, according to the
semi-annual pig survey of the De-
partment of Agriculture, made thru
the rural carriers of the Post Of-
ilce Department. The total esti-
mated spring pig crop saved in the
United States in 1925 was about 54,-
000,000 head. An increase of 38
per cent in sows bred to {arrow this
fall over the number farrowed in the
fall of 1925 is reported.

“There was an increase of 1.7 per
cent in the number of sows fan-owing
this spring over the spring of 1925,
but the average number of pigs saved
per litter was smaller this year with
'a resulting decrease in pigs saved.

“All groups of states, except the
north-central, west and the far west—
ern, showed fewer pigs saved this
year than last. The largest decrease,
15 per cent, was in the northern At-
lantic states. Both groups of states
—south Atlantic and south central
—‘-—showed decreases although the
survey of December, 1925, indicated
quite large increases in the number
of sows bred to farrow this spring.

”A large increase in breeding for
fall is shown by all groups, ranging
from 80.3 per cent in the north At~
iantio to 63.8 per cent in the tar
western. Although there has been a
wide spread between sows reported
bred in the June survey and sows
reported {arr-owed in the following
December survey in previous years,
high phioes of hogs and the present

* outlook for food supplies “may cause

the intentions to be more nearly car-

riod but this can than in any previous
fall." '

recently good advancea in prices
were made, numemus reports from
the American and Canadian north-
west saying much damage has been
done by the continued hot and dry
weather. The wheat market is a
weather affair, and it is likely to
fluctuate freely until it is safe.
Meanwhile the fine large winter
wheat crop of the southwest is be—
ing harvested rapidly, and it is go-

,ing to market rather freely, with a

fair demand on domestic and foreign
account. Prices are still much low-
er than a years ago, but a little mere
than two years ago July wheat sold
down to $1.16. Last year's crop is
mostly used up, and a short time
ago the visible wheat in the United
States was down to 10,975,000 bush-

for retailers to. carry only email in-
Ventories' and to shift the burdens
of carrying reserve stocks to the
manufacturers. The weakness in
commodity prices for several months
has been another influence against
forward buying. ”

“An exception to the “sluggish
movement of retail trade is‘ found in
certain large chain store and mail
order houses, which have reported
sales ahead of 1925 for every month
of the current year. Taken in all,
the first half of 1926, while not up
to the record year, 1925, is certainly
better than was, expected a few
months ago, and is far from the
state of depression which was feared
in many quarters.

"Regardless of whether a further
upward- movement of the present
bull market is to take place, bankers
who study the high level of secur-
ities prices today as compared with
two or more years ago must certain-
ly consider it the part of wisdom to
exercise great discretion in the mak-

els, while a year earlier it stood at
26,670,000 bushels. Rye has ad-
vanced with wheat, the crop being
the smallest in years, and late sales
were at about the prices of a year
age. Oats are low in price despite
the short crop, and corn is much
lower than last year, with large sup-
plies and a poor demand.

From the Bankers Standpoi'it

and far from, the depression feared,
the American Bankers’ Association
Journal says in discussing the con-
dition of business. The article says
in part:

“Warm Weather has given a fa-
vorable turn to the business outlook
both for agricultural and retail trade.
Reports from different sections indi-
cate that goods are now moving into
consumers’ hands much more freely.
Industrial production has been main-
tained at a high rate, and certain
lines, such as steel and automobiles,
established the highest records in
their history. This has resulted in
some accumulation of stocks of goods
for the most part in the hands of
manufacturers, due to the custom

ing of investments and to keep a care-
ful watch on collateral underlying
loans.”
The Hog Supply

An increase of 36.4 per cent, or
around 700,000 sows bred or to be
bred for fall farrowing is indicated
by a survey made by the department
of agriculture in the corn belt states,
suggesting a gain of 3,500,000 to 4,-
000,000 pigs as compared with last
year. Number of sows that farrow-
ed this spring was 3.5 per cent in
excess of last year, but the number
of pigs saved was 1,5 per cent less
than in 1925, due to unfavorable
weather.

Hogs and Provisions

Lard stocks at western packing
centers July 1 were 74,108,566 lbs.
against 56,074,590 last year, while
two years ago they'were 114,332,000
lbs. Total of all meats was 129,—
322,316 lbs. against 202,137,000 lbs.‘
a month ago, 298,786,000 3. year
ago, and 350,718,000 lbs. two years
ago. Late sales of hogs in Chicago
were at $10.50@14.25, with in-
creased offerings. Beef steers sold
at “@1055, yearlings going high-
est.

‘Wisconsfn"’s11925"potato season ' "

has been the most successful that

farmers of the state have experienced .._
in-yesrs, according to 3.13. Jones off 7

the state department of markets. '

Figures show that at the opening-.1"?
of the season last fall farmers were '
paid around $1.50 per cwt., as com-,

pared with 50 cents the previous
year.
market improved and a top price of
$6 per hundred pounds was paid
late in the winter.

“The high price paid brought ap-
proximately. $20,000,000 in cash to
the Wisconsin growers,” the state-
ment declares. “This was generally

used to pay off mortgages and vari- " .
ous’ debts, buy furniture. cars and ' ‘

implements and toimprove farm
‘buildings. .

"This year Wisconsin's shipments
will amount to 16,000 cal-loads, a
big percentage of which went to
Chicago. “While, no estimate is
made of this year's plantings. it is
generally reported that the high
prices of the past year haVe induced
Wisconsin farmers to greatly in-
crease their plantings this spring,
and with good growing conditions
prevailing a much larger crop is ex—
pected this fall."

WHEAT ‘

Wet weather over a great deal of
the southwest, plus unfavorable crop
news from the spring wheat states,
encourages continuation of the
strength that has featured the wheat
market recently. The market was
fairly easy at most points but there
was plenty of demand at Detroit to
maintain present prices.

CORN

Corn closed last weekat Detroit
firm and at Chicago it was easy.
Country offerings to arrive are light.
and shipping sales small. Michi-
gan’s new crop seems to be coming
slowly but with a late fall a good
yield is expected.

OATS

A quiet tone is noted in the oat
market allover the country with.
receipts light. . The new crop in this
state is reported to be heading well.

. RYE
Active foreign demand last week
boosted the price of rye and gave
the, market a. stronger tone. It
closed the week unchanged.

BEANS ~

The Detroit bean market declined
10c to 15c last week and at the close
on Saturday, July 10th, was steady.
The acreage for Michigan this year
has been estimated as about the
same as 1925 but it is quite possible
that this has been reduced because
of the bean maggot, although many
farmers replanted their crop.

 

PBTrA'rons .

A slow market is reported for ph-
tatoes with the tone weak and prices-
working lower. New stock‘is plenti-
ful at all points. .

BOSTON ’ WOOL MARKET

The volume of business last week
showed a decline as compared with
the week before but the prices on
raw wool held well. Between the
summer vacation closing of many
mills and the strike of garment
workers in New York many expected
orders have been deferred. Terri-
tory and fleece wools comprise the
bulk of the business done.

OCEANA HAY DAY
HREE HUNDRED farm folks at-
tended the Oceans. County Hay
held at the W. R. Roach & Co.,
farm at Hart, July 1. Features of
the day were an old scythers con-
test, first 3 places being won by 65
and 73 year old men from Walker-
ville. Roach & 00., acted as host
and furnished coffee and punch for
the crowd. County Agent Carl
Hemstreet and R. H. Addy, Special-
ist in Dairying for Michigan State
College discussed the making and
utiliiation of alfalfa. Interest cen-
tered in the use of the side-delivery
rake and loader.

OOEANA C. T. A. NEWS
ENRY MEYERS again has high
herd in the west Oceana C. T.
A.‘ for the year just closed.

Mr. Meyer’s herd of pure bred Jer-
seys averaged 9571 lbs. of milk
with an average of 52%, making
499 lbs. of fat per cow. And Mr.
Meyers has the high cow with 1181
lbs. of milk containing 540.69 lbs.
of fat.

The average production per cow
in the whole association was 6859
lbs. of milk containing 388 lbs. of
butter fat. Seventeen herds in the
association averaged over 300 lbs.
of butter fat per cow, while 51 cows
made sufliciently large records to
qualify for Michigan recOrds of per-
formance.

This association is starting its
fifth year of testing and has used
pure bred sires of known production
ability for several years.

Several of the herds have consist-
ently increased their production
each year by the testing and weed-
ing process and the herd of Mr.
Meyers is the outstanding example
in this line.

 

Alfalfa pays both the farmer and the
land, and the stock like it.
