V to hold it longer, you have to live on it.
and if I was you I wouldn’t wait too long
about posting that notice; -not that any
decent person would jump the claim: but
there is a few around here that ain't de-
cent."

“We haven't got time to monkey with
a notice today. Iat's get th horses in."
They rode all morning thout seeing
a horse, Mort pointed out a few cattle
bearing the Bar Z Bar brand. They
.wete in excellent condition.

“How far can those horses go?" asked
Doug. _

Mort laughed. “They've got the whole
Rocky Mountains to range in, but," he
added, seeing the dismay on their faces,
"as a usual thing they don’t drift far.
Think we'll find them up above the reser-
voir. There's lots of bunch grass up
there. and they like it.”

Mort was right. They found the horses
in a grassy park above the reservoir——
fifteen of them.

“See that dun-colored horse?" He
pointed- out a splendid looking... animal,
clean limbed and sleek as a mole. "That's
Snakey. He's a bad horse—leader of the
bunch. Watch him, and don’t let him
make a break."

They circled the bunch and started
them downward. At the reservoir, Snakey
took the wrong trail.

“Turn him! Turn him !" yelled Mort.
“They’ll run our tongues out if they get
started."

Terry swung his quirt and Blutch
leaped forward with such suddenness that
the lad’s neck was almost dislocated.

“Give him his head!" shouted Mort.
“He'll turn them.”

Terry slacked the reins and hung on
for dear life. The little roan developed
into a perfect dynamo of action. Over
logs, ditches and boulders he sped; thru
bushes and between trees, so close that
both of Terry's knees were ground harsh-
ly. Cleverly the roan cut Snakey down
and turned him back on the trail, the
work horses thundering behind.

“Why, I didn't have to do a thing but
hold on and ride !" said Terry. “He did
the rest himself."

Mort laughed. "That’s his business,
and he knows it a whole lot better than
lots of people."

“I‘ll say he does!" said Terry.

It was nearing night when they pushed
the bunch into the corral, and when Terry
climbed off he found that his legs refused
to support him, and so collapsed in a
heap. Doug's legs showed the same
weakness.

“Always gets you in the knee until you
get broke in." explained Mort. “Be all
right in a few days. You’ll have lots of
time to get broke in when we start to
gather cattle."

The boys hobbled into the kitchen and
piled down on the floor while Mort pre-
pared supper. After a huge 'meal they
could not muster sufficient energy to go
to bed, but tumbled on the floor and slept
like logs.

It was torture of the worst kind to get
up next {morning Terry sat up and
groaned. He tried to get to his feet, but
his legs and body were so stiff he could
not manage it.

“Doug!” he called, “pound me a while
and loosen up these joints, and I'll do the
same for you."

Doug rolled over and punched him
shrewdly on the thigh. Terry let out a
yell and came to his feet at once. "That’s
plenty!" he howled. "Never was so sore
in all my born days !"

“Breakfast!” said Mort, who had been
fussing over the stove. "Whale of a day's
work before us today. One of you can
take turns with me shockin' while the
other drives the binder."

They put six horses to the binder and
drOve into the barley. It was heavy, and
Terry, who was driving, pushed the
horses to the limit. Doug and Mort were
forced to tie into it for all they were
worth to keep up. At nine o’clock Terry
climbed down and said:

“We’d better get another team out here
so we can change them about. These
can't stand it to go steady."
team was brought out, and Doug drove
until noon.

As they were preparing to go to work
after dinner, Mort said “You boys may
be used to drivin’ fast back in Iowa, but
it won't pay here. There’s rocks as big
as a house in these fields that you can't
see. If you hit one of them with six
horses going full itlt, you’ll tear things
all to thunder.”

“Didn’t you say it was due to snow
any day?" asked Terry.

“Yes. but we don’t always get it. May
not this year." .

“We can’t take a chance,” said Terry.

“Got to have this grain to make a
payment on the place.”

“Well, I just want to remind you that
it’s- thirty—five miles to town, and than
mebby you can’t get the repairs you
want." A

"Be our loss,” “said Terry, and drove
out the the same pace. He had not driven
an hour until a crash that sounded clear
across the field came to Mort and Doug’s
ears. They saw Terry jolted clear out
of his seat.' I

"Caught up !” snorted Mort. “If we
wait till you get back in that thing, we’ll
both be dead of old age!"

“80 long." called Terry,

"He won’t get to the top of the divide,"
predicted Mort. "Reckon one of us'd
better start on a boss and lead one for
him?"

“He can make 'most any old car eat
out of his hand,” said Doug. "“He'll make
it if the thing don't fly to pieces."

Terry was rattling and banging down
the road at the rate of all of twenty
miles an hour. He found the machine
had an antiquated friction clutch that
would slip unless jammed tight as a
jam-nut. He was obliged to pull most of
the divide in the lowest gear, and the
engine almost jumped off the ground. it
got so hot.

“Wish I had that old Henry of ours out
here,” he said. “I‘d sure eat up these
bills."

By wheedling the car, he got to the
top of the hill, then shifted to high speed
at once on the long grade into town.
Ffteen miles nearly all down hill. If I
were to tell you the time he made that
fifteen miles in, you wouldn’t believe me,
but he afterwards told Doug the dust
hadn't laid on the top of the divide when
he got into town.

“Cutter bar?" said the merchant. "Mc.
Cormick six foot? Have to order it."

“How long will it take?" asked Terry
desperately.

“ ’Bout two weeks."

The lad turned away, very very much
discouraged. At the door he saw a bar
that looked very similar to the one he
needed. He picked it up and examined
it. “Isn‘t that a six-foot McCormick?”
he asked.

"Yes, but it is sold. There comes the
man that ordered it now. Lew Kord,
from out by Bunker Basin."

Terry saw a tall man approaching who
might be anywhere from forty to fifty
years old-—a long—faced fellow with hard
looking eyes and a sandy colored beard.
All in all, a man you would instinctively
distrust and dislike.

"Then you don’t want it?"

"Ilia, damn it! No!"

" ere's your bar ung man.”
Sellers, smiling. ’ yo said

Terry grinned and dug up ten fifty.
“Much obliged, Mr. Sellers.” he said.

Kord stepped up. “Guess I’ll take it
after all,” he said. "My old bar is about

gone.”

"The bar belongs to this lad." said
Sellers. “Talk to him."

“I’m in a hurry." said Terry. "I'll be

glad to lend it to you free of charge as
soon as we finish cutting."

Kord scowled, turned and swung out.

"Where you from, young man?" asked
the merchant.

Terry explained.

“Well, Kord's ranch joins yours on the
lower side, and he’s a mean neighbor.
You want to watch him."

“Thanks for the warning," said Terry.
“I’ll remember it.”

Terry ran the Meta up to the gas sta-
tion and filled the tank.

“Got any ether?" he asked.

"Lots of it. How much shall I put in?"

“About a pint." _

"Pint?" exclaimed the service man.
“You’ll blow the head clear off.”

"Too loose.” explained Terry. “No
compression at all.” ,

Nevertheless, when he started the mo-
tor a series of terrific explosions ensued.
The motor shook like a, leaf in the wind.

Terry grinned. "Won’t have to go over
the divide in low," he said, and slid in
the clutch.

The antiquated old car banged up the
grade in next to high gear. Near the top
Terry drew up behind a car and honked
for the road. There was a direct 'drop
here on the lower side of the road and a
cliff on the upper.

The man should have lain over on the
lower side; instead, he hugged the upper
and glanced around. It was Kord.

Terry gave the Metz the gas.

PART TWO—The Family Arrives

When Terry stepped down on the gas,
the old car seemed to hump herself and
jump. There was room to pass if Kord
had kept his side of the road, but he
didn’t.

As Terry drew up alongside, Kord de-

shorter than Kord. but he carried a
punch in either hand.

He ducked the big man’s first blow
and struck upward at the beard covered

clean as a bull's eye and knocked Kurd
flat on his back. But the man was tough
and game to boot. -

He came up fbr more, and managed

he was on top, his fingers fastened
around Terry's throat.

Black specks began dancing before

ears. Time for action was short, he
knew. Drawing up his knees, he jammed
them fiercely into Kord’s middle. Kord's
grip loosened and he went limp as a
rag. Terry rolled 'him off and arose.
Tenderly he felt of his throat, then went
back to examine his car.

The radiator was badly dented, but it
was not leaking. Onespring was broken.
but he decided it would run in. Kord
was showing signs of coming around
when he cranked the car and drove on.

Dusk was falling when he drove into
the barn lot. Doug and Mort had the
chores done and supper waiting.

“How'd she run?" asked Mort.

"Well, I came over the divide in high.”
replied Terry. “I put some ether in her.”

“Get the bar alright?” - ’ .

"'Don't know whether it’s all right or
not, but I got it,” and he gave a sum-
mary of the trip.

. "Kid," said Mort, when he had finish-
ed. "You want to watch that guy. He’s
not been in the country but two or three
years, and he’s had trouble with every-
body 'up here. You want to watch him."

“We'll watch him, all right," promised
Doug. and then added: “It’s moonlight
tonight. Why can’t we run the binder?"

“We can try it," said Terry. And the
binder clicked all night long.

The snow will take care of it.”

“We ought to finish today," said Terry.

"If we get to work."

Altho it was only the last of September.
they were all obliged to wear heavy coats
and gloves. At noon, the snow began
falling. and came down faster and faster.
By two o'clock. Terry, who was driving,
could hardly see the horses’ ears. But
he .gamely stuck to the seat and drove
on, until Doug's hail brought him up.

"What’s the matter?" he asked.

"You're way off the swath—driving
right straight across the field. Turn
back to your left."

Terry got back where he belonged.
Then the grain became so heavy with
the snow that it wouldn’t elevate, and
he was compelled to give it up.

“How much is there left?” he asked
Mort.

“Not more than four or five acres. You
can turn the cattle in on it,,and they will
get the most of it. The snow will go
in a day or two.” 

“Let’s take out, then,” said Doug;
“must be about three o’clock.”

“Wish there was a cook at the house
with a good dinner ready," sighed Doug.
“I’m frozen, starved and tired'as a dog.

“Like to have one of mother’s dinners
to pitch into,” said Terry wistfully.
“Haven't had a real biscuit since we left
home."

A surprise awaited them at the house.
instead of a cold, cheerless kitchen, a
rush of warmth and a smell of savory
cooking met them as Terry opened the
door, and he felt his 'mother’s arms-
thrown around him. '

“What an awful storm!"
“We got here just in time.”

“Just wishing for one of your dinners,

527 Attend Elevator Exchange Annual Meeting 1'

M Co-operative Marketing Leaders, Noted Speakers and Entertainers Feature Banquet Program

mers celebrated at Lansing,
ednesday, July 21 with a birthday

v ALUSTY infant of six brief sum-

party attended by 587 people from-

all parts of rural Michigan. The
husky youngster in whose honor the
party was staged has already shown
a remarkable capacity along busi-
ness lines. In fact he has already
transacted business deals, totalling
about $25,000,000, more than $8,-
000,000 of which was during the
past year. The infant prodigy which
has this remarkably record is the
Michigan Elevator Exchange which
is the central sales agency .for eighty
farmer-controlled local elevators
scattered over the state.

The birthday party referred to

above was the big feature of the
sixth annual'meeting of the Elevator
Exchange held at the Hotel Olds at
Lansing, July 21.
-The 527 elevator managers, direct-
ors, agricultural teachers and Farm
Bureau members who crowded the
banquet room of the new Hotel Olds
to capacity were in a happy frame of
mind. The Elevator Exchange had
just closed its most successful year,
and the banquet arrangements and
program attractions were such as to
make every one enthusiastically op-
timistic. Along the speakers table
sat what was probably the greatest
array of talent ever brought togeth-
er for a. farmers’ meeting in Michi-
gan.

Nationally Known Speakers

Among the speakers were Toast-
master Charles Hayden of Lansing,
Attorney for the ‘Elevator Exchange;
J. C. Stone of Lexington, Kentucky,
President and Manager of the Bur-
ley Tobacco Growers’ Association;
Lucius E. Wilson of Chicago, Presi-
dent of the General Organization
Company; A. P. Sandles of Colum-
bus, Ohio, Editor of the Macadam
Service Magazine and M. B. McPher-

By STANLEY M. . POWELL

Lansing Correspondent of TH! anmnss Fauna.

son of Lowell, President of the Mich-
igan State Farm Bureau.

Music for the occasion was furn-
ished by an orchestra and by three
of the leading radio stars from sta-
tion WCX of Detroit. These were
“Chief” C. D. Tomy; “Bernice”, the
well known radio pianoist, and Mrs.
Hazel B. Emmons, the famous so-
prano.

Mr. Stone told of the remarkable
progress in cooperative marketing
made by the growers of Burley To-
bacco. He declared that cooperative
marketing was merely an effort to
put agriculture on the same intelli-
‘gent business’basis as that of other
businesses. Mr. Stone explained
“that the tobacco growers had abso-
lutely no bargaining power and
could not secure a fair price until
they organized to merchandize their
own products. The Burley Tobacco
Growers’ Association began opera-
tions November 15, 1921. During
the past five years it has handled
868,000,000 pounds of tobacco and
during four months each season has
17,000 employees.

He stated that one of the great-
est difl‘iculties was to get information
regarding the organization to the
108,000 stock holders, but that this
was done through the establishment
of community organizations. Last
month 76,000 members attended
meetings of their local units. '

Twelve 100% Cooperatives

Mr. Lucius E. Wilson had the
pleasant duty of presenting a foun-
tain pen and pencil set to each of ten
cooperative elevator managers who
had sold all their grain and beans
through the Elevator Exchange for
the last four years. Two other man-
agers had a similar 100% record,
but were not present. Mr. Wilson

declared, “Our cooperatives must

adopt a definite business policy..

There can be no successful bargain-
ing unless the bargaining power is
centralized in one place.”

In the course of Mr. A. P. Sandles’
remarkable address, he called at-
tention to the fact that while the
farmer used to think he was the most
independent man on earth, condi—
tions have now changed until the
farmer is about the most dependent.
He is dependent upon cities, both for
a market for his produce and for a
large variety of farm supplies and
manufactured articles. He said
that wage earners had organized,
and while most of them had practic-
ally no investment, that they were
paying more toward their organiza—
tions than the farmers with their
large investment. The result is that
the arm of organized labor can reach
out to set the wage scale on the
farms and to determine the cost of
the labor that goes into every article
that the farmer buys. I

Mr. Sandles called attention to the
inequality under which agriculture
is laboring, but stated that the farm—
ers are more militant than ever be-
fore and that they were going to
teach a lesson to the selfish East
which he said was levying tax and
tribute on the bread basket of the
United States. He declared that if
these c0nditions.were not remedied
that the farmers would make the
Mason—Dixon line run north and
south in tWo more years, and would
organize a new political party to in
sure equality for agriculture.

President McPherson of the State
Farm Bureau called attention to the
close relation which has always ex-
isted between the Farm Bureau and
the Elevator Exchange and assured
the Elevator Exchange that it could

always count on the support of the
Farm Bureau in any battle in which
it became engaged.

Does Huge Business
The reports presented at the bus-
iness sessions of the Elevator Ex-
change annual meeting showed that
during the past year 5,100 cars of

grain and beans amounting to more ~

than $8,000,000 had been handled
at a net profit above expenses of
$50,000. Eight new elevators join-
ed the Exchange during the past
year. Because of its growing vol—
ume of business, it was voted to in—
crease the capital stock from $50,000
to $100,000.

The following officers and direct-
ors will pilot the Elevator Exchange
affairs during the coming year:

Officers: Carl Martin, Goldwater,
President; L. C. Kamowske, Wash-
ington, Vice-President; H. D. Hor-
ton, Kinde, Secretary. Directors:
W. E. Phillips, Decatur; Carl Martin,
Goldwater; .H. D. Horton, Kinde;
George McCalla, Ypsilanti; L. C.
Kamlowske, Washington; Milton

'Burkholder, Marlette; M. R. Sisler,

Caledonia; F. M. Oehmke, Bach; W.
J. Hazelwood, Mt. Pleasant.

The afternoon banquet program
came as the closing feature of a
two—day Farm Bureau Conference
which was attended by about 300
delegates. The Farm Bureau busi—
ness sessions were held in the new
People’s Church at East Lansing,
and were devoted to developing plans
for more active county and local
Farm Bureau work.

Tuesday evening, July 20th, the
1300 Farm Bureau leaders banqueted
together at the Union Building at the
College and were addressed by Dr.
Malcolm H. Dana of New York City,
Director of the Department of Rural
Work for the Congregational Ex-
tension Board, and Professor “Eben

‘ AShort Synopsis of the Hauéen and Fess Bills Vetoed'By Congress

SUBSCRIBER has written in

asking. us the following ques-

tion: “Will you please give us
a short synopsis of the Haugen and
Fess bills with a review of good and
poor qualities of each and the inside
work of their defeat in your next
issue".

This certainly is a his: order.
Every day I receive a copy of the
Congressional Record which is about
one-half inch thick and during the
last few weeks of the congressional
session a large share of these reports
were given over to the printing of
speeches on the so-called
relief” legislation.

The Haugen bill which was defeat-
ed in the House would have set up’a
Federal Farm Advisory Council elect-
ed by farm organizations to nominate
members of a Federal Farm Board.
The Board would have been author-
ized to dispose of surplus farm‘ crops
through cooperative agencies. Fi-
nances would have been provided by

equalization funds for each commod-

ity gathered by collection, of an
equalization fee assessed on the com-
modity and by loans from a revolv-
ing. fund provided by a federal ap-

lpvopriation of one hundred seventy-

this type of legislation proposed the
McNary amendment to the Federal
Cooperative Marketing bill which
was at that time pending in the Sen-
ate. This McNary amendment was
practically identical to the Haugen
bill which the House had killed.
After many days of debate the Sen—
ate finally defeated the McNary bill
by a majority of six votes. Then
the administration marshalled its
forces to secure the enactment of the
Fess amendment.

The Fess Amendment

The Fess amendment was practic—'

ally the same as the Tincher bill
which was considered in the House
earlier in the session. It proposed
to set up a Federal Farm Advisory
Council elected by farm organiza-
tions to nominate‘ members of a
Farmers’ Marketing Commission.
This Commission would have been
authorized to advise cooperatives,
negotiate, agreements between coop-
eratives.and their members and non-
members for establishment of pools,

of the House Tincher bill. The op-
ponents of the Fess amendment con-
tend that at best it was inadequate
to deal successfully with the surplus
problem and if passed would only
make it more difficult get enacted
what they considered adequate farm
legislation. They also contended
that the Fess proposal, if enacted
into law, would greatly injure, if not
destroy, cooperative marketing as—
sociations. They declare it Would
have the effect of driving members
out of these organizations and pre-
venting others from joining because
the members of the associations
would have to bear the expenses and
fees incident to handling the sur-
pluses of crops, or whatever portion
of the crops the cooperatives at—
tempted to handle, while the non-
members would receive the same
benefits as far as price is concerned
without hearing any of the expenses
involved in the cooperative under-
taking, including interest charges on
the loans advanced by the govern-
ment. The administration used all
its influence to secure the passage of

Coolidge issued an appeal for its
adoption. W. M. Jardine, Secretary
of Agriculture, also called on sev-
eral senators in an eflort to gain
support for his measure. However,
when .it came to the final roll call,
the Fess amendment was defeated

The defeat of the Fess amendment
left the Federal Cooperative Market-
ing bill in practically the same form
that it came over to the Senate from
the House. It provided for the cre-
ation of a division of cooperative
marketing in the Department of Ag-
riculture to gather and disseminate
scientific and technical informa-
tion in regard to cooperative
marketing and to encourage the de-
velopment of cooperative organiza-
tions. This ‘bill is not classified as
farm relief legislation, however, in
the sense that those words were used
in connection with the McNary-llam-
gen measure. All “farm relief”
proposals considered by the Senate
were proposed as “riders” to this
bill and were submitted in the form
of amendments.

The defeat of the McNary and Fess
amendments precipitated a flood of
other amendments, the consideration
of which kept the Senate in Session
continuously on Tuesday, June 29,
until nearly 9:30 P. M., without tak-
ing a recess for dinner.
after a long and envolved parliment-
ary tangle, all these amendments
were defeated and the original co-
operative marketing bill was adopted
without a record vote. However,
some supporters of the McNary-Hau-
g'en type of legislation say the fight

has just begun and they will Carry

“I had a hot air furnace in our seven-room

SOWING SWEET- CLOVER

Can you tell me what is the best
time to sow sweet clover and about
how much 'to the acre and which is
the best way to sow it alOne or with
grain? I have a light piece of sand
and am planning to sow buckwheat
and wondered if it' would'be all
right to sow withthat. Some say
it must be sown earl yin the spring
while others say you can sow as late
as August and get a catch. I would
like your opinion of it.—-W. L., At-
tica, Michigan.

WEET clover may be sowri most
any time from early spring un-
til about the lst of August. If

seded later than the 10th or 15th
of August, it is likely to winter kill.
On sandy soils, buckwheat is some—
times used quite successfully as a.
nurse crop.

Sweet clover should be sown at
the rate of 15 pounds of scarified
seed per acre and the seed should be
inoculated. The seed bed should be
well firmed—C. R. Megee, Associate
Professor of Farm Crops, M. S. C.

SPRAYING POTATOES

Please advise me whether there is
any difierence in yielding by spray—
ing or whether its just to keep bugs
off. I planted 150 bushels of White
Rural certified seed potatoes, would
like to know when and how often
to spray and also what to spray with.
——M. K., Carsonville, Mich.

HE test and demonstrations con-

ducted in many states show that ,

there is an increased yield from
thorough spraying of potato plants
with bordeaux mixture even in years
when insect and foliage diseases are
of no consequence.

During the past five years many
tests comparing the results of spray-
ing have been conducted in Michi—
gan. The average increased yield
per acre as a. result of spraying is
40 bushels or more. This increase,
however, is mostly due to the pre-
vention of insect and disease injur—
ies to the foliage. It is true, how-
ever, that even when disease and in-
sects are no tpresent, that in hot, dry
spells plants that are thoroughly
covered with bordeaux mixture seem
to withstand the weather effects bet-
ter than unsprayed plants.

Those men who have been secur-
ing the highest yields of potatoes
during the past few years have done
systematic spraying and are thor—
oughly convinced trat the use of
bordeaux mixture applied'under high
pressure has been one of the big
factors in the yields of 300 to 500
bushels per acre that the yha've 'ob-
tained.

The most effective spreiy material
for potatoes is home—made bordeaux
mixture made by dissolving four
pounds of stone lime or six, pounds
of hydrated lime in fifty gallons of
water.‘ Detailed directions for mak-
ing bordeaux mixture together with
methods of applying can be secured
from Special Bulletin No. 117 and
No. 125 of the Michigan State Col-
lege.

For the thorough control of both
insects and disease troubles it is
necessary that the plants be sprayed
before the injury occurs. The best
system to follow is to begin spraying
operations when the plants are about
four to six inches high. Other ap—
plications should be made at niter—
vals of about ten days so that the
new growth will be covered with the
spray. It is very important that the
spraying be continued late in the
season since some troubles particu—
larly leaf hoppers are most serious
at this time. Those growers who
hmake from five to eight applications
get very satisfactory results. The
average cost per acre for the sea-
sons is approximately $10.00.

Another very important factor in
spraying is to use a modern spray—
ing machine that can maintain a
pressure of 200 pounds or more and

"that is equipped 'with three nozzles

for each row so that the material
can be placed on both sodes of the,
leaves. It is impossible to get set-
isfactory control of such pests as
leaf hoppes, potato aphids, blight,
etc., unless both sides of the leaves.

BULK 0F PASTUR-E PRODUCED
SECOND YEAR

I am writing you for a little in-

formation in regards to the growing '5

of sweet clover as I have never
grown it and would like to try it
next spring. What I would like to
know is, if I sow sweet clover in my
wood pasture next spring, would it
come on so that I could pasture it
in the summer 'or would I have to
wait until another year? If-sweet
clover will not make pasture that
year, could you suggest something
in‘ good seed that‘l could sow that
would make pasture next summer.
#G. G., Prescott, Mich. .

HE bulk of the sweet clov,er pas-

ture is produced the second sea-

son. If conditions are quite fa-
vorable, considerable pasture may
be available during late August and
September the first season. There
are no grasses or legumes adapted
to be seeded on old pasture sod that
make satisfactory growth the first
season. If the land could be plow-
ed, Sudan grass for horses and
cows and rape for hogs and sheep
could be used—C. R. Megee, Assoc.
Prof. of Farm Crops, M. S. C.

DIVIDING' PRODUCE

I have rented this place eight
years on halves and am planning on
staying this year out. we never had
a written contract when he wanted
me to take' the place. He wanted
me to furnish my own grain for my
horses which I agreed to do for the
first year and he also wanted me to
furnish him hay out of the undivid-
ed portion for his team that is not
on the farm, or concerning the farm
in any way. I told him I would let
him have hay that way but I expect—
ed pay for my half. I was to fur-

year. Then I told him I 'wouldn't

stay any longer unless we could feed 

out of the undivided so he said, “All
right, go ahead.” Have done that
way for the last three years.
have had two or three more cows
than he has and give him half of the
proceeds just the same and we still
have two more cows than he has.
When I asked him about getting
more cows he wouldn’t give me any
decided answer. Now he has had
sixteen loads of hay off the place,
eleven loads of straw, one load of

corn stalks, unhusked. This was all .

taken out of the undivided. Now are
they entitled to one-half of them?
We even picked elderberries that
grew around the fences and they
came and demanded one-half of
them. I want to know if I can get
my pay that is reasonable for the
hay, straw, and also get anything for
my work?—D. H., Mt. Morris, Mich-
igan. ' ’ ,
LL produce raised on the far‘h:
should be credited to the farm.
Any produce taken off the farm
and retained by either party could
be considered as a part of their in-
come—F. T. Riddel, Research As-
sistant in Economics, .M. «S. C.

To REDEEM
I would like to know if I bought
state land from the state, would the
the title hold good, or could the
man that owned it redeem it?.——A.
B., McMillan, Michigan.

HE owner would have until the
T first Monday in May in the year
following the sale in which to
redeem the premises. If not re-
deemed by that time, you would be
entitled to a deed from the auditor
general at Lansing—Legal Editor.

HANDLING DYNAMITE
Does a person have to have a per-
mit to handle dynamite? If so, how
and where does one get the permit?
——W. E. T., Rodney, Michigan.

HERE are no statutes requiring
a permit to handle dynamite,
although the storage, handling,
etc., is goverened by law and the De-
partment of Public Safety has also
made some rules and regulations in
regard to the same—Chas. J. De-

PLAN TO SEE MICHIGAN THIS YEAR

N our July 3rd issue we stated we were pre-

1 pared to furnish information to those planning

tours this summer and it was ‘theirs for the
writing. Many have written us, some intending
to go east to visit the Sesqui-Centennial Inter-
national Exposition no wbeing held in Philadel-
phia in celebration of the nation's one hundred
and fiftieth birthday, others going westward, and
we have gladly advised them regarding routes.
But the farm folks who go out of the state for
their vacations are only a small part of those who
take vacations. At least eleven out of a dozen
taking a vacation will stay right in Michigan,
perhaps camping along one of the many rivers
or near one of Michigan’s beautiful inland lakes,
or touring from place to place, and we are sure
they would hunt a long time before finding a
more beautiful place to spend a vacation than
right in our own state.

We read on the Grand Seal of the State of
Michigan, “si quaeris peninsulam amonenam cir-
cumspice",———meaning “if you seek a beautiful
peninsula, look around you.” Truer words were
never spoken.

On the west we have Lake Michigan and along
its shores are our best fruit growing counties,
and some of the finest summer resorts in this
part of the United States. The Upper Peninsula
is on the north and thousands of tourists visit
this most northern part of our state each year,
hunting deer “in winter and fishing and camping
during the summer. Then, of course, there is the
northern part of the lower Peninsula known as
a summer playground for folks from every state.
in the Union. On the east we have Lake Huron,
Saginaw Bay, Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair
River. From the end of the “Thumb” southward
the shore is dotted with summer cottages, many
of them owned by people living at some distance
who enjoy living by the water during the summer
months. Bathing beaches and camp sites, along
these lakes and our inland waters, are too num-
erous to mention, but on a holiday they are all
occupied by happy crowds.

Getting away from the Great Lakes one can
visit the fine farming sections of the southern
part of the state, taking in the famous Irish Hills,
said to be “a bit of old Ireland" in our own
Michigan, then going into the section where
celery is the leading crop, then into the mint
district and on to the grape belt. Michigan has
the lead when it comes to producing baby chicks
and a stop in the Holland-Zeeland district would
be interesting.

Working back into the central part of the
state one can stop at our agricultural college at
East Lansing, then drive on into Lansing to go
through the capitol. Continuing eastward one"
would get into the real inland lake district* of
this state where there are many camp sites. or
hotels if you prefer them.

The “Thumb” would probably be the next sec-.
tion to be visited, then westward through the
Saginaw valley, Gratiot county, and on into the
part of Michigan famous for its potatoes. Also
going northward along the shore of Lake Michi-
gan one would continue in our fruit belt, and
our choice northern summer resorts are- up in
that section, some along Lake Michigan, others
onlinland lakes.

YOUNG MAN IS LOST -

E have been asked to help locate a young
man who left his home July 1st and has
not been heard from since that date.

Perry James, feeble minded, son of G. R. James,
of Sheridan, is the missing person. He is. 21.
years old, about 5 feet nine inches tail, of slender
build, slightly stooped, has bright red hair, big
blue eyes, rather large lips and ears, clear skin
and ruddy complexion. When, he left home he
took with him an old black traveling bag, and he

' is believed to, be in Grand Rapids, although his

folks say it is quite possible that he has started
‘for Kansas City, Missouri. If you have seen the
boy or know as to his whereabouts please get in
touch with his father, G. R. James, Sheridan,
Michigan.

THE NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW
HIS week we received a reminder that the
National Dairy Show is not very far off and
if one intends to make some entries now is
none too soon to think the matter over: This
reminder came in the form of a copy of the dairy

cattle prize list for the Show, to be held in De- .

troit during the first week in October. Con-
spicuously displayed in at least two different
places in the booklet is the line “Cattle entries
close September 15th". Get your copy and of-
ficial entry forms soon from the National Dairy
Association, Detroit, Michigan. Just send in a
letter requesting them and they will come for-
ward to you without charge.

PITCIIENG HORSEHOEB

ASE BALL is called the national sport and
no doubt it is, but the real national sport as
far as farm folks are concerned is pitching
horseshoes, or “barnyard golf" as many call it.
Look around any farm yard and nine chances
out of ten some place you will find a couple of
iron pegs drove. in the ground fro mtwenty to
forty feet apart and the ground all scooped out
around each peg. Then nearby will be found
several horseshoes; they may be regular pitching
shoes but more often not, having seen service on

horses' feet at some time or other. .
Few farmers’ picnics or county fairs are held
without at least a few games of horseshoe and
often they are an important event with substan—
tial prizes offered. However, for real sport there
is nothing that compares to a good, old-fashioned
game, where everything is for fun, with the
losers enjoying themselves fully as much as the
winners. The only thing that allows for dispute

FARMER HAS MORE MONEY ,. "

 annual survey of the U. S.,Department of;

Agriculture to determine the income‘of the
7‘ farmer revealed that 1925 showed further

improvement in his financial condition over the,
Reports from -15,330

proceeding three years.
farmers 'in all parts of the country showed, an
average net return of. $1,297 for those farms;
The average size'of the farm was 304 acres with
an averageginvestment of $17,149, so the farmer’s
income was a little over 7 per cent on his invest-‘
ment. ‘

“Average gross receipts were $2,551, consist-
ing of $933 from crop sales, $897 from sales of
livestock, $585 from sales» of livestock products
and $76 from miscellaneous products." staes the
Department. “Average current cash expenses
totaled $1,477; consisting. of $386 for hired help.
$242 for livestock bought, $69 for fertilizer, $47.
for seed, $191 for taxes, $119 for new machinery
and~tools, and $179 forlmiscellaneous items. _

“Receipts, less cash expenses, averaged $1,074,
in addition to which the farmer used home-grown
food products valued at an average of $283. I The
value of fuel and house rent was net reported.
On the other hand, no allowance has been made
in the expense items for the labor of the farmer
and his family, which was estimated by the farm~
ers at an average value of $793.

"The cash balance of $1,074 represented all
the cash the average farm made available to the
owner-operator to pay his living expenses, take
care of debts And make improvements.

“The farmers reported an increase of $223 in
inventory values, which figure added to the‘ cash
balance of $1,074 made a farm net return of
$1,297. Out of this amount $225 was paid as
interest on indebtedness and $127 was spent for
improvements.

“Thefarm net return of $1,297 for 1925 com-
pares with $1,20‘5 for 15,103 farms in 1924;
$1,020 for 16,186 farms in 1923, and $917 for
6,094 farm in 1922. Both receipts and-expenses
have increased, each year during the four-year
period." ‘

We would like to have our readers eoniment on
this statement. ' .

 

A FORGOTTEN LAW
PPARENTLY few people know of Act 36 of-
the Public Acts of 1919. or else they have
forgotten it. In part this law states that,
“it shall be unlawful to cut, destroy, injure or

break any ornamental, nut-bearing, food produc-‘

ing or shade tree upon any public highway or
place, except where such trees shall interfere
with the proper construction or maintenance of
such highways;” and further that, “it shall be
unlawful to affix to any such trees any picture,
announcement, playbill, notice or advertisement,
or to paint or mark such tree except for the pur-
pose of protecting it."

Plenty of evidence that this law is grossly vio-
lated can be found on all of our highways. Per—
haps some of it done with the knowledge that a
law is being broken but we are inclined to think
that most of the violators are innocent of the

fact they are committing a crime, and if the law '

was called to their attention they would remove
this evidence at once where possible. '

  MONTE nmpmm cospon-
 7 ' ATION _ _
N inquiry has come to 'us about
the Monte Development Corpor-

ation, of New York City, and the?

lots they are giving away. This is

 ' another one of those “solve this puz-

' ale and, win a lot"—proposition being
 worked by several. New York real
,estate concerns which have previous-
]? been condemned in our columns.
The puzzle that appears in the ad-
vertisement of the company is a
simple one that even a -young child
can solve so the thousands who un-
doubtedly send in their solution are

_ awarded “beautiful” lots. From the
‘ company’s lettes which is. sent to
these “fortunate” individuals we
learn “The property is guaranteed

‘ to be high and dry, conveniently

located in the hear of Herbertville .

between two modern cities—Lake—
wood, the Winter Resort, and Point
Pleasant a popular Summer Resort
on the Atlantic Ocean."
all be true. The property could be
“high and dry” alright in this section
of New Jersey, on sand where you
can not even grow a spear of grass,
and surrounded \by the well-known
“Jersey Meadows” which is a refined

name for a swamp, because that is >

the general type of land found ‘in
that section. .

‘ Further we learn that all one must
do is to pay the cost of this warranty
deed which isthe small sum of only
$9.50. Then this fine lot, “20x100
feet”, is yours “free and clear of all
incumbrances.” What? Yes, that is
right, “20x100 feet”, which is hardly
wide snorigh to put up a fair-sized
garage, let alone a house. However,
wears informed in the letter should
one desire to increase their frontage
and purchase lots their price at
present is $65.90, so a lot large
enough to put a house on would
cost you $79.00. Dollars to dough-
nuts this is at least four or five times
what the land is worth.

WARNS AGAINST RADIOACTIVE

' WATERS AND DRUGS
HE alleged medicinal efficacy of
T slightly radioactive waters and
other slightly radioactive prep-
arations has been found to be much
misrepresented, say officials of the
Bureau of Chemistry of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who, in the enforcement of the Fed—
eral Food and Drugs Act, have made
a nation-wide survey of the waters
and drugs alleged to be radioactive.
The products analyzed- for content
of radium included hair tonics, bath
compounds, suppositories, tissue
creams, tonic tablets, face powders,
ointments, mouth washes, demul-
cents, opiates, opthalmic solutions,
healing pads and other preparations
in solid; semi-solid and liquid form
for which therapeutic value because
of alleged radioactivity was claimed.
Only five per cent of the products
‘ analyzed and claimed to be radioact-
ive contained radium in sufficient
quantities .to render them entitled
to consideration as therapeutic
~ agents and then only in certain limi-
- ted conditions, say the officials. High-
. 1y exaggerated therapeutic claims ob-
viously designed to mislead 'the pur-
chaser are being made for many of
the products which contain little or
no radium. One of the samples ex-
amined consisted of a short glass rod
coated on one end with a yellow sub-
stance and enclosed in a glass bulb.

Action will be taken under the

A warning regarding the indiscrim-

which are highly radioactive is also
sounded by the oflicials.

"The distribution to the general
public without discrimination or ad-

active products or the devices for

highly radioactive” says the depart-
ment; “is of very questionable pro-
priety since raduim in active dosage

good and should be administered
with great caution.”

 

HAVING TROUBLE WITH
PICTURE AGENTS
E published a letter in our July
3rd issue from "Mrs. L.,
Flushing, Mich.”, regarding a
deal she had with one of these on-
larged picture agents. It seems the
agent gave her the same old line
about being lucky and winning an
enlargement free of charge because
she drew the right envelop, then he
got her to sign a paper which she
found out after she signed was a
contract to pay $12.50. She told him
she did not want the picture at that
price but they made it up and sent
it to her anyway. The deliveryman
demanded that she pay but she re-
fused. She then received threaten-
ing letters from the company and
wrote to us if she must pay it. We
told her she did not.

Now we have a letter from‘ Mrs.
Clyde Webb ,an Ohio subscriber, who
writes: “I have just read Mrs. L.’s
letter regarding her‘trouble with the
Chicago Portrait Company. I did
the same as she did. They came to
deliver the picture and I wouldn’t
take it. They gave me fifteen days.
I sent them no money but wrote re—
questing my photos back, enclosing
postage, and just recently they re-
turned them. So if Mrs. L. pays no
attention or even tells them to go
ahead and sue'she will be rid of
them.

“This experience taught me a good
lesson. You may belive no one gets
over my threshold now unless I know
him and what he represents."

Mrs. Webb’s last statement is well
worth your best attention. Don’t
let an agent into your house unless
you know who he is and What he is
there for.

NATIONAL GOITRE TREATMENT
CORPORATION
UBSCRIBER whom we have ad-
vised by personal letter to steer
clear of the treatment given by
the National Goitre Treatment Corp-
oration, of Mason City, Iowa, will be
interested to know that the company
has ceased to operate.

This company offered a treatment
for goitre for over $100.00, covering
a period of six months to eight
months, and if the patient was not
cured money was to be refunded.
Just what condition the company is
in we are unable to learn, but it is
certain that there are many uncured
patients who will not receive the ex-
pected refund.

We have always been skeptical of
“long distance” treatment, especially
for a serious disease like goitre. It
is our opinion that one can get better
results and perhaps save money in
the long run by going to a competent

‘ APBETITES ~

‘  ‘that the hot summer days “I

are here, there is nothing like

an attractive salad to tempt the
flagging appetite. Salads supply
water, mineral nutrients, acids,
bulk, and flavor to the diet and so
are an excellent food. The dressings
contain oil and acid and some other
ingredients as egg and milk. Salads
are especially good as a means of
serving raw vegetables or fruits at-
tractively. It is possible to util-
ize left-over foods, thereby making
an economical dish. French, cooked.
mayonnaise, and whipped cream
dressings are the ones most common-
ly used. It is well to remember in
preparing salads that the ingredi-
ents must be fresh and cold; pleas-
ing in flavor and appearance; and
the green vegetables should be crisp.
cold, and dry when served. Salad
dressing should not be added until
just before time of serving as the
salad material wiits if allowed to
stand after the dressing has been
added. Various vegetables 'or fruits
may be combined with shredded cab-
bage and salad dressing into the
most attractive salads. Pineapples
and cabbage or pineapples and grat-
ed raw carrots are easily prepared
salads. One cup peanuts, two cups
cabbage and one—half cup chopped
raw carrots is another nutritious
combination. Tuna fish, salmon, or
any'cold flaked fish and shredded
cabbage with salad dressing will
makea tempting salad. Shredded
cabbage and grated carrots or shred-
ed cabbage and cooked beets are
often used. Crisp crackers, cheese
crackers, cheese straws, small sand-
wiches, or nut bread are good to
serve with salads.

RENEW STRAW HATS BY CLEAN-
ING THEM

TRAW hats, whether they are leg-

k horn, panama or milan, may be

freshened up for summer wear
by cleaning them. Wash leghorn
hats with a soft cloth in a suds of
lukewarm water. and pure soap
Never rub soap on the straw. Rinse
oi! all suds and dry the hat in the
shade.

Panama hats can be cleaned the
same way unless they are badly dis-
colored. Then use peroxide first to
clean the straw. A mixture of two
lemons and a tablespoon of sulphur,
will bleach a milan straw hat that
is badly sunburned. Rinse off the
sulphur in warm water and dry the
hat in the shade.

Black straws may be freshened by
sponging with a mixture of one part
of alcohol and three parts of water.
Faded straws may be renewed by
applying a coat of straw hat dye of
the same color as the straw orig-
inally was.

The crown of the hat will retain
its shape during the cleaning process
if it is stuffed with crumpled paper.
After the straw is dry cover the hat
with a white cloth and press it with
a warm iron. As straw scorches eas-
ily the iron should not be very hot.

If the straw becomes limp in the
cleaning process it may be stiffened
by using gum arabic. Dissolve two
level tablespoons of this in a cup of
boiling water. After the mixture has
cooled rub it on the hat. It may be
used on straw of any color.

 

ONE RECIPE MAKE MANY ICE
CREAMS -

ANY delicious frozen desserts
M can be made from one recipe
according to the New York
State College of Home Economics
at Ithaca, N. Y. A simple ice cream
may be varied by adding crushed
fruits or fruit juices, nuts, chocolate,
or flavoring extracts to produce dif-
ferent desserts for every day in the
week.

The basic recipe for these differ-
ent creams is, a plain vanilla ice
cream made from two cups of milk,
two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, a
pinch of salt, two eggs, two cupfuls
of thin cream ,and a tablespoonful of
vanilla. The milk is heated in a
double boiler and the sugar and salt

are dissolved in it; then this. mixt- ‘

are is ‘poured slo'wly onto the eggs
which have been well beaten. The
mixture, which is a custard, is pour-
ed back into the double boiler and
cooked over hot water. ‘ It should be

It is then ready for freezing, using
a mixture of three parts of ice to
one part of salt.

With one or tw0 changes this rec-
ipe will make almost any kind of ice
cream. Strawberry, raspberry, or
any other berry ice cream may be
made by adding a cupful and a half
of the crushed berries to the mixture
just before freezing. The sugar
should be increased to one cupful
and the vanilla is not needed. Peach,
apricot, or other fruit ice cream is
made the same way, though tWo cup-

‘fuls of the pulp and juice of these

fruits give a better flavor.

Mocha ice cream is made by sub-
stituting one cup of strong coffee for
one cup of the milk and then pro-
ceeding as for vanilla ice cream. A
square and a half of melted choco-
chocolate ice cream. A caramel
flavoring is given by melting half a
cupful of sugar, without adding any
water, until it browns, and using this
in place of the vanilla in the original
recipe. A cup of macaroon crumbs
added to the caramel ice cream
makes a good frozen pudding, and
nuts may be added to any ice cream.

Black Ants.-——Could you tell me how to
get rid of big black ants? They have
been in this house for two or three years
that I know of and I do not know where
they come from. They do not bother in
cold weather.-—-Mrs. O. F. S., Mason,
Michigan.

—These large black ants are the ones
found in the house and are known as
carpenter ants, since they tunnel in solid
wood as well as in decayed wood.

If one can find their homes it is well
to inject a little kerosene with the squirt-
can into their workings. They can also
sometimes be killed by a mixture of tar—
tar emetic and honey. Use one part of
tartar emetic to twenty parts of the
honey.

It is well to remember that tartar
emetic is a very violent poison and that
it is dangerous to humans and every-
thing else. When tartar emetic is used
it should be so placed that nothing else
but the ants can get to it.

I will say further that this particular
kind of an ant does not respond so kindly
to the poison honey as some of the other
kind of ants.

Really the best way to get rid of them
is to find the nest and inject kerosene
into the galleries, since often they refuse
to eat the poison honey unless it happens
to be made up Just to suit them.—
R. E. Pettit, Professor of Entomology,
Michigan State College.

[celess Refrigerator At a Small Expense

OR homes in which ice refriger-
ators or modern electrical cool-
ing devices are not available, in-

expensive iceless refrigerators may
be substituted, according to Mary L.
Bull of the extension division, De—
partment of Agriculture, University
of Minnesota. .

An iceless refrigerator, such as
suggested by Miss Bull, consists of
a wooden frame of desirable asize
(48x18x18 inches). This frame is
covered on three sides and at the top

with rustless wire screen. . A door,

also covered with wire screen, fits
the fourth side. The bottom of the
refrigerator may be of wood or-of
wire and should be from four to
six inches above the floor. The top

should carry a slat frame strong -
enough to support a water contain- “
or. ranches. at ». mutant“ Misfits,
' swam  seam

 

   

in

strips of wood but open so as to
permit the passage of air. The sides
and door are covered with outing
flannel or burlap attached by tacks
or by eyelets fitting over round-
headed tacks or screws. From the
water container on the ,top, which
should be from six to eight inches
deep, extend four wicks, two or three
feet long,. made of a double thick:
ness, of the same material as the
cover. These Wicks, small at the

upper end and wider at the lower,

hang from the water container along
the sides of the refrigerator.

The water is drawn by capillary
attraction through those wicks and

'down along the sides covering! the

refrigerator and there evaporates
and thus “reduces the temperature

' 'When’ To, nemév‘. the HEEL—1. Two I

patriotic occasions take precedence, over
all-others and compel the instant remove!
of the' hat. One is the unveiling or pass—

ingof our national flag (and thi applies'

by extension, to state and municipal
flags), the other the playing of our na-
tional air. On the street, in the theatre.
opera or restaurant, anywhere and every-
where, an' American stands at attention
with his head: uncovered.

2. Death also compels an acknowledg-

ment of respect; the respect which in the '

wider sense recognizes the universal
brotherhood of man and our wmmcn
membership in the social body at large.
If the passing of a funeral compels you
to wait until’it has gone by, your hat
should be off while the cortege‘passes.

3 An elderly man of neuralgic ten-
dencies, when a cutting winter wind is
blowing, need. not conform to the fixed
rule requiring a gentlemtn talking to a
lady in the street to stand with head
bared.‘ Etiquette conforms more or lose
to common sense laws; and the lady
should be the first to ask the gentleman.
ip such case. to replace his hat. In
general, however, the law is a fixed one,
and its non-observance is a sign of ill-
breeding.

4. The rules governing the removal of
the hat in an elevator, when ladies who
are strangers are~present, though puzz-
ling to many. arequite simple. If the
elevator is a public one: in a museum,
a court house, a hotel, an oflice building
or shop of any kind, the hat need not
be removed; and this applies to railroad
waiting rooms, halls and corridors in
public buldings, as well as the hotel lobby.
But as soon as privacy is implied. the
hat must be removed. In 'the home and
in club elevator the hat must be removed.
Incidentally, a gentleman always removes
his hat'wh'en entering an elevator with a
lady known to him, or upon the entrance

YOUR BEST

 

091m: BLUE AND GOLD

EAR girls and/boys? This letter
should be’f'of unusual interest
to you/fiscause I am announcing

the winners in our recent “Read and
‘ Win” contest, and starting a new
one at this time.

First I will tell you about the win-
ners of three prizes in the contest
that closed July 10th. Harriet
Tracy, of Moscow, succeeded in car-
rying off first prize in a very close
race, so the $3.00 offered goes to
her. Second prize of $2.00 was won
by Winnie L. Clark, who lives on
Route 2, out of Lakeview, and third
price of $1.00 went to Berniece An-
drews, Freeport, R.“ 1.

Now for the new contest. This
is going to be another one of those
“Read and Win" contests, so popu-
lar with everybody, but not quite as
many questions this time and more
prizes. Doesn’t that sound interest-
ing? ‘ ‘

The winners of first, second and
third prizes will each receive a real
camera with which they can take lots
of pictures. Then the next three
winners—fourth, fifth and sixth—
will receive kodak books in which
they can paste prints of the pictures
they take or that are given to them.
These little books are very handy
and keep your pictures all together.
Now for the questions:

1.—What is it that makes chicks
grow and hens lay?

2.—What should you use to “keep
your engine young”?

3.——What does Milton E. Spain
say about a certain kind of furnace?

4.—Who will give a farmer “Lit-
mus Test Papers"
with?

5.—What are the “2 Extra Prof-
its”?

6.——Who is ‘V‘Lubber"?

7.—-What has the National Goltre
Treatment Corporation done?

8.—-——What is good for heaves?

9.—What is booklet No. 160
about; how can you get it?
10.—-Choose the advertisement

you believe best in this issue and
state within fifty words why you
think it is the best.

The contest starts at once, and the
closing date will be August 10th.
That gives you plenty of time to get
your letter in, but if your letter
should be one of the first received,
and you have not received one of
our buttons, you will be sent one as
I am going to send out fifty buttons,
one to each of the first fifty I hear
from who have none at present. Be
sure to give your complete name, ad—

dress, age and whether you have a-

button or not.—-UNCLE NED.

Dear Uncle Nam—Just a few lines to
ask you if I can join your merry circle

to test his soil.

and will you please send me a button?
I will describe myself as I have never
written to you before. I am four feet
and seven inches tall and I have light
brown hair, bobbed and blue eyes. I am
ten years of age and weigh seventy
pounds and am in the sixth grade. I
live on a hundred and twenty acre farm.
We have nine little pigs and about forty-
one little chickens and two little kittens.
One of them is mine. He is allvblack

excepting one little spot under his chin.‘

I am the only girl in our family and I
haver four brothers. One of my little
brothers was a year old yesterday. I
wanted to write to you before, but I didn't
know your address, so today I thought I
would send this letter to the Managing
Editor, Milon Grinnell. Any time 1 can
get hold of the M. B. F. I open it up
to the children’s page which I like very
much.

Well, I will have to close hoping that
the waste paper basket misses this, for I
would like to see my letter in print.
Your want-to-be niece—Grace Hakes,
R2, Bark River. Michigan.

-—-Your letter reached me alright, but
next time just address it to “Uncle Ned,
The Business Farmer, Mt. Clemens, Mich."
I hope you succees in winning a button
either through one of our contests or
a good story.

Dear Uncle Ned:—A girl friend and I
are both going to write to the M. B. F.
I have many of the letters and think
them very interesting. We both hope to
see our letters in print.

Our school closed May 28. We had
a picnic and some games which the
teacher gave prizes for. I have paSsed
into the seventh grade this year. I am
twelve years old, have dark hair and am
four feet. ten inches tall. I have a little
brother six years old. I live on a forty
acre farm, three miles north of Fennville.
We have two horses, and two cows. For
a. pet I have a dog named Trixie.

I would very much like to join the
merry circle, and would you please send
me a pin? I would like to have some of
my cousins write to me. Well this is all
for this time. Next time I will tell you
of a trip we had—Your want-to—be niece.
—Margaret Martin, R2, Box 22, Fennville,
Michigan. '

—To get a pin you must earn it, Mar-
garet. Write me a nice story for Our
Page or win in a contest and you can
get one. I wish you luck.

Dear Uncle Nedz—Yes. here I am again
Uncle and cousins and I hope you will
let me stay for a while, may I? I have
been reading the Children’s Hour and
was very sorry to hear that Laura Rogers
was dead. I did not write to her, but I
wished I had. I wrote to Jeanette Olson
but have not heard from her. If you
see this Jeanette, I wish you would write.
I am sending a story and hope it will be
printed and I Wish you would send me a
button. .

Do you know, Uncle Ned, I think the

Children’s Hour is getting better every

day? I think it is. Your loving niece.
——Mildred Darby. Standish, Michigan.

—You Just bet we are printing your story.
It is entirely original I can plainly see
and contains a good "moral for our read-
ers. Come again, Mildred.

However this year is an exception.
The ground was ideal for cultivating
so a. very thorough job was done
when the corn was small. This fact-
or has kept the weeds in check, and
with no rain the cultivating has been
an easy Job. In fact we have had
several days when there was no need
of cultivating. This seldom happens.

Corn Is Small
I have just returned from a. drive
which has given me a chance to see
farm crops in Jackson and Calhoun
counties as well as in Hillsdale
county. I venture to say corn never

 

L. W. HEIRS

averaged as small at this time of the ‘

year. Here in mid July were many
fields of corn not more than eight

, inches tall. Few, if any, were knee

high but there never were cleaner
corn fields. Haying and harvest are
late, and farmers have been able to
work to their heart’s content in the
corn and its clean condition is the
result.

Nearly all the farmers were busy
with hay making. Some pieces were
very satisfactory, and some farmers
were cutting hay that was hardly
worth it. Fact is, the hay crop is
light in most sections we visited, and
there was not a single clover meadow
in evidence. As far as I know there
is not a field of good clover in these
parts and a clover blossom is quite
a rare posy. Wheat was a very un-
even crop. A few pieces were good,
but many, far too many, were a. los-
ing proposition. Why?

That is what I should like to
know. I would like to have time
to interview all the men who sowed
these wheat fields, and ask them
all a given set of questions. Then

perhaps one would be a little better ‘

guesser on why some fields are good,
while some are poor. But my guess
right now is that several factors ent—
er into the question of “Why” and
while several fields are poor because
of one factor, many are poor because
of several factors. Here is the way
I belive some of the questions would
be answered.

Question to first farmer: “Why is
your field of wheat poor?" “Well,
I plowed it too late and did not 80W
fertilizer." “Was the ground well
supplied with humus?” “No, it was
rather lacking in humus and avail-
able plant food. I’ve lost the seed-
ing on that field, and had to grow
corn without a and to plow under.
Then oats, and now, by sowing it to
wheat, and seeding it, I expected to
get it into clover again, but I see the
clover is most all gone now too."

Question to second farmer: “Why
is your wheat a good crop?” “For
several reasons. I have a good piece
that you ask about, and a. poor one
in a back which you havent' seen.
The good field is naturally good soil,
and in a rotation‘with clover, corn
and oats, it is well supplied, with
humus as we cover it with manure

for the corn crop, and always plow '

under a heavy sod. I think the sod
is heavier because we use so much
sow the -wheat
litre that it.

early enough so that with the aid of

fertilizer it made an excellent growth
before winter, and didn't winter kill
any. The poor field was as good
soil, but not. as full of humus, and
we tried to economize by not using
fertilizer on it. The. result was, it
started slowly, and with the winter
we had, it winter killed badly.” '

Question to third farmer!" “Why
is your wheat poor?" “Well, I don’t
know. It was an old sod and we
plowed it early and sowed it first in
the neighborhood. .Still it is not
nearly as good as some of the neigh-
bor’s fields which were plowed and
seeded later. Of course they used
fertilizer and I didn’t. I thought
such an old sod ought to grow Wheat
without fertilizer but some how it.

didn’t, and so much rain last fall .

started the sod into growth again,
so there is really quite a. lot of June
grass in it now.” '

This last farmer was no doubt
right about the old sod being good
enough to grow wheat, but the old
sod plowed under will not furnish
any plant food for the wheat to start
it quickly in the fall, and enable it
to make a heavy growth before freez—
ing. There is 'the one big advantage
with fertilizer on Wheat, oats or
corn. It is this runningstart which
generally wins the race in the crop
production program.

We used fertilizer on oats this
year, and for a test we sowed a. strip
without it. The fertilized oats were
all headed out when those not fertil-
ized were just beginning. Moisture
is very sadly lacking. in our oat
fields, and much of the little clover
has already succumbed as a result.
All along our drive we noticed oats
had made a heavy growth, and it
will be necessary to get rain, and
right away too, if they can go on
with the big crop they have started.

A very small a’Creage of buck-
wheat was noticed, and a still small-

.er one of summer sown alfalfa.

Practically no beans have been plant-
ed, and not nearly as many potatoes
as one would expect. One early po-
tato patch of about an acre showed
marked evidence of blight. Early
potatoes will be a short crop unless
rain comes very soon. Naturally
early varieties do not hold out long’
waiting for rain. It is characteristic
of them to want to ripen quickly and-
early, and if moisture is a. minus e1-
ement in their required diet, they are
easily discouraged and conclude the
best way to end the matter is to curl
up and die. a.

Rye In Buckwheat

Somewhere there is evidently. a
farmer who wants to sow rye in his
buckwheat. Read his question.

“I’ve heard about sowing 'ryo in
the fall after buskwheat is harvest-
ed. Must the ground be plowed, or
just dlsked? If there seems to be
some June grass in the buckwheat
stubble will it make any difference?”

Yes, rye may be, and often is sown
after buckwheat. It is not necessary
to plow the ground, ‘and really plow-
ing would- be detrimental. Even
dishing is not required if the soil was
properly fitted for the buckwheat.

‘If it was, the soil will be mellow

enough so that a disk drill will sow
the rye and cover it fine. About June
grass showing in the buckwheat.
This would make a little difference
because plowing or diskingko late
would not subdue the grass any.
However, I might add, that if any
considerable Juno grass is— showing.
it was not a. good place for buck:
wheat. It should have been summer
followed and sown to wheat or rye.
The chances then otthe fall grain

crop, and the. seeding . next sprints
would have been for more invertible!“

" ‘TEXT: “I have been crucified with
Christ; and it is no longer I that live,
but Christ liveth in me: and that life
which I now live in the flesh I live in
faith." Galatians 2:20.

RECENT report has a man, thru
his last will and testament,
transferring all his property to

Jesus Christ. Likely, this will will
not stand as lawful. The courts may
declare the man mentally irresponsi-
ble, or may hold that Christ, in per-
son, does‘ not exist and live in his

, flesh, the mental responsibility of the

apostle is not questioned, and the
author’s adventure of faith is re—
ceiving favor in the court of the com-
mon mind. But let us look further-
into this brand of practical religion.

“I have been crucified with
Christ.” This is the first funda-
mental in the apostle’s character. It
is at the base of his personal life
and power in the «flesh. This, of
course, was and is yet revolting to
the 'wordly mind. “I died to the
law” is another way the apostle has
of telling his experience. The law
had put his Savior to death and by
the same stroke had crucified him.
He did not want to belong to a.
world that cherished a religion of
hate and death. So, this friend of
the Galilean outrages the religion of
the day by clinging to the Cross,
which represented to him incarnate
Love. “The love of Christ con—
straineth me.” This was a most rev—
olutionary thing to do, but Christ
to him, was a .defacto person, and
no legal fiction could rob him of
offered Grace. .

But the legal and wordly mind
has ever been shearing away at the
Cross. There is so much that is su-
perfluous about it. “Jesus was a
beautiful, historical figure, and real-
ly superior in many ways to the
ordinary human; but he lived local-
ly and was limited and tempted as
are all other_ humans, and so,’ we
are not to be too sure he was God
crucified in the flesh,” says the critic.
We allow for the honesty of some
critical minds, and frankly admit
ourselves, that Jesus was subject to
many such limitations as are we to—
day, yet to the mind of ordinary
folks, Christ is the pattern of God.

"And I, if I be lifted up will draw
all men to me." And a significgnt
t at

that does not come from creeds and

fixed formulas of faith. It is an ir-
resistable outcome of the Cross
where human life is seen in its most
perfectly loving sacrifice. When
they think of God they think of
Christ, and when they see God they
see Christ. Are‘ these masses of
folks wrong about a living Christ?
Is the testimony of history nothing?
We cannot get away from a vital
Christ. Students and critics may go
on investigating a pale _Lazerene, but
cOmmon people who are aspiring to
the truest and best in life. cannot
tolerate a dead Christ. If Christ be
dead we are leaderless and hopeless.

“It is no longer I that live but
Christ that liveth in me.” Paul and
Christ have come to a mutual under-
standing. This covenant makes
Christ the ruler and arbitrator in
Paul’s body. Paul, himself, has died.
‘For me to live is Christ” says he.
This was not good theology in Paul's
day. Theologians then defied the
law, and they have been pretty near-
ly doing it ever since. At least, they
have been floundering around in a
mess of definitions and dogmatic
guesses. But Paul, who cast aside
the prevailing theology, lived in the
region of certainties. “If any man
is in Christ he is a new creature.”
He has in him that new creative

'power. that regenerative principle

that gives him definite knowledge

the door of his life to a Person,

Yes; if we have a vital faith. “And
that life which I now live in the
flesh, I live in faith." Faith has
crucified and buried self, and
brought Christ in to take up resi—
dence in the heart. Paul turned
everything over to Christ as the man
did his property. All truth and ex-
perience were to be interpreted in
the light of Christ. All nobility of
birth and racial heritageswere to be
as but “refuse” to gain Christ. One
wonders what sort of compulsion
could nail Paul to the Cross with his
Savior, and have his life wounded,
shamed, and despised. Ask him and
here is the answer, “I live in faith.”
This isa mystical thing, but we may
be sure it is not merely abstract and
museful. It was a lively thing and
used Paul's body as an active in-
strument of righteousness. Here is
the key to the life of this wandering
and despised preacher, whose gar-
ments were dyed in his own life’s
blood.

Only thru what is persona can
God interpret himself to man, thru
moral traits of character common to
man. “The word became flesh" is
our Father’s response to his child-
ren’s need and craving. Christ has
hisproof in actual character. We
have always recognized God in the
storms, seasons, and earthquakes.
but all this is so impersonal. Like
Isreal 0' fold, we want a personal
“Moses” to mediate for us. We long
for the fellowship of the Unseen in
the seen.

But this law that demands that
truth shall be lived in the flesh, has
general application. Thru Franklin,
Edison and Marconi, electricity is
entering more and more into the
realm of human experience and und-
erstanding. We have here a princi-
ple that underlies all advancement,
material and spiritual. According
to this law, only, can God be made
comprehensible and vital in human
1i e.

So, is Christ living in us? What
are we in the hidden springs of life?
Why are we living? For a good
time But this is as ‘a fading flower.
For knowledge? This is facinating.
but not enough in itself. For ease?
But this will keep us out of the
street of pain and suffering, and that
won’t do. For a good living and a
substantial bank account? But this
is not living for the highest and best.
All these will leave our lives starved
and empty. The Heavenly Father has
said that there is nothing good enuf
for,.any of his children but to live
the life that is Christ.

The Mm Newbody Known—By Bruce
Barton, well known writer, whose edi-

In this book the author gives us a wholly
sincere and reverent picture of Jesus
Christ as he really was. Freed from the
fominizing legends of the Early Church
and of medevial times, Christ emerges in
its pages as you find Him in the gospels
——..'~but not as you find Him in the things
writtEn since. This book is not theology,
not a “life” of Christ. It represents Him

as a living and breathing identity, as.

real and alive as you and 1. Leading

Good farming, like most difficult
things. sounds easy in the tell-
ing. Making a "crop of wheat,
for example, is simply the job of
taking good seed wheat and put-
ting it into well worked soil with
plenty of good fertilizer and then
letting it grow until harvest time.
Sounds easy, but the city chap
who tries it without previous ex-
perience learns fast and pays
Well for his education.

You may not get your wheat in at the right time. You me be
delayed in the proper preparation of your soil on account 0 the
weather. You may run a little short on the fertilizer you order
from The Fertilizer Leaders of America thinking it will not matter.—
But it does matter for their fertilizer furnishes the: soluble plant food
needed for a profitable crop. You will get from them this fall-—

Nitrogen to grow strong, sturdy straw and a well
developed root system that will not heave with the
freeze and thaw of winter.

Phosphorus to fill out the heads and make plump, -
heavy grain at the end of the spring growing
season.

Potash to ripen the grain and make hard market-
able wheat at threshing time.

Most good farmers get their wheat fertilizer from The Fertilizer Leads
era of America. For more than forty years they have set the pace
in making good wheat fertilizer for the leading wheat growers of
your state.

Get ready to grow more and better wheel: with The Fertilizer Lead-
ere of America. They will help build up your soil. and make a}:
bigger profits on your crop. Order your fertilizer now from t err,

LARGBBT HERD IN TESTING
WORK
HE Detroit Creamery Companyis
placing the largest herd of dairy
\ cattle in Michigan in cow test-
ing association work. The value of
individual records of milk, test and
feed consumption have made an
especially strong appeal to thousands
of Michigan dairymen, and this same
desire to have more complete inform-
ation about their herd of 590 cows
both purebred and grade Holstein
and grade Jerseys and Guernseys has
caused the Detroit Creamery Comp-
any herd to be put under production
test.

J. E. McWilliams, manager of the
Detroit Creamery Company herd be—
lieves firmly in record keeping of
production in dairy cows. He said
that in 1925 every cow had to pro—
d'uce at least 10,000 lbs. of milk but
from now on each cow must produce
at least 12,000 lbs .of milk and have
a good butterfat test and make a
good showing for the feed consumed.

No other cow testing association
exists in the United States according
to A. C. Baltzer, in charge cow test-
ing associations, Michigan State Col-
lege, East Lansing, which is com—
posed of one herd taking a month’s
time to test by a regularly employed
cow tester. Michigan dairying is
making progress in more efficient
production and leads in this respect.
The breeders of purebred dairy cattle
and the owners of grade and pure-
bred cattle have no less than 4 per
cent-or 32,000 cows of the dairy
cows in Michigan under test. These
cows averaged 7,259 lbs. milk and
292 lbs. butterfat in 1925. The larg—
est number of cow testing associa—
tions in the history of Michigan are
active at this time. There are 113
cow testing associations operating
testing more than 3,000 dairy herds
totalling more than 32,000 Michigan
dairy cows.

\VORK DURING FISCAL YEAR

REAT progress was made during

the fiscal year ended June 30,

1926, in testing Michigan cattle
for tuberculosis. 58,604 herds in—
cluding 448,607 cattle were tested.
The previous high mark for a year’s
work was made in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1925, when 404,573
cattle were tested and the new re~
cord for the year just finished ex-
ceeds this by more than 10 per cent.
Of the 448,607 cattle tested 7,318
or 1.63 per cent were found dis-
eased, a remarkably good showing
on so great a number of animals.
When we consider the fact that 27.5
per cent of all the cattle in the state
were tested during the year and only
1.63 per cent reacted, we readily
understood why Michigan cattle are
in such strong demand for shipment
to neighboring states which are less
fortunate in the test. The year’s
work included complete tests ofall
cattle in 21 counties of which 8 were
new counties receiving their first
test and among the number were in—
cluded those‘ which we considered
our worst infected counties.

On July 1, 1925, at the beginning
of the fiscal year, we had 64,496
herds including 497,196 cattle once
tested without reactors; 67,539
herds including 539,303 cattle under
supervision and. 44,440 herds in-
cluding 361,303 cattle on the waiting.
list.

On the same date there were 9
counties listed as modified accredit-
ed areas, including'HlllsdaIe, Emmet,
Antrim, Grand Traverse, Charlevoix,
Livingston, Leelanau, Shlawassee
and Eaton.

During the fiscal year just closed
18 new counties have been placed
on the accrediated list giving Michi-
gan a total of 27 modified accredit-
ed counties on July 1, 1926, a stron:
lead over all of the other states ex-
cept North Carolina.

The counties completed during the
year and officially declared “Modified
Accrediated Areas” by the U. S. De—
partment of Agriculture include:

Ingham, Kalkaska, Kent, Marquette,

WATERED STOCK

; VERY hot day is another day for

the farmer to own some well
watered stock, but that stock
should be his own hogs and cattle,
horses and chickens and the water

should come from a good well and~

be handy and fresh all the time.
Helpless farm animals cannot oper~
ate the pump handle so it is up to
the farmer to furnish the water sup—
ply. Hogs and chickens are most
often neglected but both can be
watered with self waterers providing
the water is clean and fresh. Too
often good water is missing even
though the animals are housed in
high priced barns, pastured on high
priced land, and fed high priced
feed. Water is absolutely necessary
in normal growth and action of the
body in the digestion and absorption
In the absence of water,
waste cannot be properly eliminated
and the action of all the vital organs
is hindered, body temperature is in-
creased and the utility of the ani-
mal is seriously handicapped.

GREASED PIGS ARE SAFE

0G lice and mange mites reduce

the ruggedness and feeding

qualities of their hosts. Dis-
carded crank case oil from the auto
or tractor makes an excellent hog
oil after a small amount of creosote
dip is added. This liquid will dis—
pose of the lice. Crude petroleum
thinned with a little kerosene is very
effective in ridding hogs of mange
or scurvy. Either of these oils may
be used on the surface of the water
in a dipping vat, in a barrel for small
pigs, or may be sprinkled or sprayed
over hogs crowded into a small pen.
Hog oilers are very good but often
times fail to reach all parts of the
hog’s body. Clean, dry well-bedded
sheds will aid materially in prevent-
ing skin parasites.

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS FOR
WINTER
DD Biddygis at her highest point
of efficiency during these sum—
mer months. Her product,is
reasonably priced. Next winter she
takes a vacation and the price of
eggs may go up.

These are reasons why eggs for
winter use should be preserved now.
Mary A. Dolve, extension specialist
in foods and nutrition at South Da-
kota. State College, says that for
home use, the best method to use in
preserving eggs is to place them in
a solution of water glass, which is
sodium silicate and can be purchased
at most drug stores.

“Eggs so preserved may be kept
for 8 to 12 months in excellent condi-
tion and used with geod results."
she declares. “The process costs ap—
proximately three cents per dozen
eggs when the price of sodium of
silicate is about forty cents a quart.

“Eggs must be fresh and clean
and, if possible, infertile, if satis-
factory results are to be obtained.
When an egg is only slightly soiled,
a, cloth dampened with vinegar can

be used to remove the stain; but un- .

der no circumstances should badly
soiled eggs be used for preserving.”

To preserve 15 dozen eggs in water
glass, Miss Dolve gives the follow-
ing directions:

Select a five-gallon crock (earthen
or stone), clean thoroughly, scald,
and allow to dry. Heat 10 to 12
quarts of water to boiling point and
allow to cool, then measure out and
place 9 quarts in the crock, and add
one quart of sodium silicate. Stir
well.

The solution thus prepared is
ready for the eggs, which may be
put in all at once or from time to
time as they are obtainable. Care
should be taken when placing them
in the jar not to crack or break the
shells. The solution must cover the
eggs by at least two inches at all
times. Put the crock containing the
eggs in a cool dry place and cover
with a tight lid or waxed paper to
prevent evaporation.

A smaller or larger number of
eggs can be preserved in a solution
mixed and prepared in the same pro-
portion.

GOOD POUIJTRY BUSINESS

UST as a good business proposi—
J tion, those hens that are not lay-
ing at this time of the year
should be culled out of the flock and
sold. They have probably finished
their years work and will eat expen—
sive feed and use valuable house
room the rest of the year. The poor
laying hen at this time of the year
is lazy, overfat, probably beginning
to moult, and has bright yellow col—
oring left in her legs and beak if she
is of the yellow skinned breeds. On
the othernhand, the good layer is al-
ways active, looks healthy, will not
moult until late in the fall, and has
put the yellow from her skin into
the .yolks of all the eggs she has
laid.

Any flock owner can cull hens by
these indications. If he does not
have confidence in his ability to do
a good job of culling, he can shut
his cull up for a few days and see if
they lay any eggs.

KILL MITES AND 111%
HERE are many other “settin’
hens” around-the poultry flock
besides the chicken, duck,
geese, and turkey hens that are
either coming off with their brood or
wanting to set these days. The young
they hatch will not be chicks, ducks,
goslings, or poults either. They will
be young mites and young lice that
will have enormous appetites satis-
fled only on the bodies and in the
feathers of poultry. The old mother
louse and mother mite have it all
over the farm yard hen when it
comes to rearing a brood. They
just lay the eggs and let the young

and fed for 10 days to two weeks on
equal parts of a ration of finely
ground corn and wheat bran and a
small quantity of shorts or ground
oats. This mixture should be fed
in a thin slop made with buttermilk
or sour milk. The chickens should
not be fed heavily the first day but
after that they should be given all

Worldis [Wheat Crop Larger Than Year Ago

Farmers inmed Against Ooerproduction of Pigs

By w. W. More, Market Editor.

NLY a short time ago it was un-
seasonably cold, and farmers
in many districts were complain~

ing that the corn was doing poorly.
Then hot summer made its belated
appearance, and from the northwest—
ern spring wheat states came re—
ports that serious damage was being
done to wheat, and wheat for July
delivery sold up to $1.46 in the Chi-
cago market, or within 7 cents of
the price paid a year ago, and far

7. higher than two years ago, with a

later reaction. Corn reports were
mixed, but corn can stand lots of
hot weather, provided rains fall
fairly often. It is too early to know
anything definite regarding the out-
come of the corn crop. Corn acre—
age is a little less than last year,
but supplies of old corn on farms
and in sight are much larger. With-
in a short time July corn sold up to
81 cents, comparing with $1.02 a
years ago. At the same time July
oats, despite the short crop, sold as
low as 40 cents, or a few cents lower
than at the same time last year.
Rye is the smallest crop in fourteen
years, and there are a reduced crop
of .barley, hay and flax. July rye is
up to $1.06, comparing with 93 cents
a year ago. The southwestern crop
of winter wheat is being harvested
rapidly and is selling freely.
Wheat Crop Gains

The prospective wheat crop in 12
countries in the northern hemis-
phere is 1,897,000,000 bushels, com-
pared with 1,000,000,000 last year,
the. department of agriculture an—
nounced on the basis of revised for-
casts. .

The United States led in the north—
ern hemisphere in total increase.
European and Canadian crops de-
creased.

to $10.35 and stockers and feeders
at $5 to $8, mainly at $6 to $7. A
short time ago much larger of these
cattle caused theirformer slowness
to change to activity. Large num-
bers of cattle are grazing, [and re-
ceipts at packing points this year
are much larger than in recent years.
Stocker and feeder cows and heifers
sell at $4 to $6. ’
Slump in Hogs

In spite of the enormous decline in
the receipts in all the markets this
year, buyers have held back and
forced big declines in prices, prime
hogs of light weight dropping from
$15 to $13.75, and sales down to

The
raisers that in breeding for next
spring, producers should take into
account the possibility that the very
favorable beg prices of 1926 are not
likely to prevail when  the spring
pig crop of 1927 .is ready for market.
If the present highly favorable corn-
hog price ratio continues through tile
coming fall and winter and hog pro-
ducers increase production as they
have in the past under similar con-
ditions and as breeding intentions for
the coming fall pig crop indicate they
will, hogs will be much cheaper in
the winter of 1927-1928 than they
were last winter or are likely to be
the coming winter. Present indi-
cations pOint to a plentiful supply of
corn for feeding during the winter
months of 1926-1927.

Since a considerable increase over
last fall 'in carryover of old corn is
expected, says the Department, it is

Outlook for Hog Producers

“Continuance of relatively high
hog prices this summer and fall and
a light falling off next winter are
indicated by the Department of Ag-
riculture in its hog outlook report.
It seems likely, the Department says,
that with continued fairly active

The 12 conniries include United ,wvdomestic demand and with indicated

States, Canada, Spain, Hungary, Bul—

garia, Roumania, Algeria, Tunis,
India, Netherlands and Chosen
Korea. They produced 63.5 per

cent of the total crop.

The Canadian crop is forecast at
348,626,000 bushels, compared with
411,376,000 last year.

A winter wheat crop of 567,000,-
000 bushels and a spring wheat crop
of 200,000,000 bushels was forecast
by the department of agriculture as
of conditions on July 1. Total pro-
duction estimated is 767,000,000
bushels for the United States in
1926, compared with 669,000,000
bushels harvested last year and 802,-
000,000 bushels for the five year
average.

The winter wheat crop estimates
were reased 24,000,000 bushels dur-
ing June, due to opportune rains at
the proper time. The four big
southwestern winter wheat states
have 276,000,000 bushels, or 142,-
000,000 bushels, or 142,000,000
bushels more than last year’s har-
vest.

The tollowing report was sent out
a short time ago by the Department
of Agriculture: “The quality of the
butter arriving on the markets at
the moment is showing the effects of
warm weather and many of the lots
received this week fell below their
usual grade with sour, acidy, flavors
the most common criticism. Some
receivers report feed of weedy flav-
ors in butter, due to the cattle eating
weeds which produce a bitter rosin
flavor in the finished product.’ This
complaint was mostly on butter com—,
ing from sections where pastures
Were short and drying up. This
falling off in quality will‘ undoubtedly
result in a widening of the price
spread between the various grades.

Yearling Cattle .Wanted

As usual, the advent of hot sum-
mer weather is reflected in a mark-
ed preference shown by killers for
finished yearlings, while heavy steers
are slow of sale at declining prices
in the Chicago market. Late sales
were made of steers at $7.60 to
$10.50, largely at $8.75 to $10.25,
with the best heavy steers at $10.25

a  h 119235  filed”-

 
 

hog supplies plus storage stocks no
larger and probably somewhat small-
er than last year, hog prices this
summer and fall will be maintained
at about the levels of the same per-
iod last year. Supplies for the win-
ter, the report adds, will probably
be no larger than last year’s. Con-
sumptive demand, however, may
not be quite as strong as during last
winter and storage demand may be
somewhat less because of anticipated
larger supplies of hogs for the fol-
lowing summer. Hence in spite of
continued short supplies, hog prices
next winter may be somewhat lower
than last winter although no very
material decline is anticipated.

likely from present crop conditions
that the supply of old and new corn
this fall will show a reduction of
not more than 5 to 10 per cent in
the corn belt. In the corn belt
states west of the Mississippi river
the total supply of old and new corn
this fall is likely to be at least equal
to the supply last fall, while in the
eastern ern belt states it may be at
least twenty per cent smaller.”

Sheep Industry Expands

Although , potential supplies of
mutton and lamb in 1926 in export—
ing countries will probably not be
less and may be larger than in ‘1925,
there is no reason to expect any ma-
terial increase in the imports of these
products into the United States, says
the United States department of ag~
riculture. Mutton and lamb are be—
ing imported into the United States
in small quantities, but large im-
ports have never been profitable to
importers.

Prices in exporting countries are
low, but not low enough, says the
department, to enable foreign pro-
ducers to compete in the United
States after paying the tariff duties
of 2% cents a pound on mutton and
4 cents on lamb. Expansion is still
the rule in the sheep industry
throughout the world.

HE trend of prices fgr‘r'furm products
T during the week ending July 17
generally continued in ‘the same
direction, as the week before. Grain
prices continued in advance under un-
favorable weather conditions ln some sec-
tions. Livestock prices continued down-
ward. Cotton prices advanced slightIY.
The prices for fruits and vegetables var-
ied as the season for each particular

crop unchanged.

Prices of an grains made moderate
to sharp advances during the week of
July 12 to 17. Unfavorable crop, pros—
pects in the spring wheat area of the
United States and mac. were the prin-
cipal strengthening factor in the wheat
market, while estimates indicating a
smaller crop of feed grains than last
year contributed ,materially ~to the ad-
vance in prices of other grains. Further
deterioration was reported 'in the spring
wheat belt during the week as a result

of insufficient moisture. Commercial-

stocks of wheat at the first of July were
substantially smaller than last year.
Mills continued to be active buyers of the
new hard winter wheat and current re-
ceipts were readily absorbed at sharply
higher prices except at St. Louis, where
there was a slight accumulation of grain
at the close of the week. Cash wheat
was firm in the spring wheat markets and
premiums were slightly advanced for the
higher protein types:

Feed grain prices continued their up-
ward trend and corn prices advanced
about 3c per bushel while oats were 15c
higher at most of the important markets.
The cash corn market held very firm and
prices advanced as a. result of continued
active demand and only moderate re-
ceipts. The cats market advanced as a
result of the advance in other grains.

The hay. market held generally firm.
The best grades of all kinds of hay were
in good demand at firm prices, but there
was some accumulation of the ,1 lower
grades at a few of, the markets. Pros-
pects for a smaller crop of tame hay

together with short pasturage conditions
were a strengthening factor ,in the market,

While the trend of egg prices during
the latter half of July has not been at
all definite, there have been some evi-
dences of a movement to higher levels.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

HE local wool market has been dull
T generally but prices have remained
steady. Large manufacturers have
been operating in the market and are
reported to have taken up moderate quan-
tities of wool consisting principally of
fine se-
cured wools. On the other hand, top
makers have curtailed their activity.
Any reaction from the opening of the
new lines of light weight cloth has not
manifested itself in the form of a mark-
ed increase of wool buying to cover or-
ders. The 'market for Ohio fleeces has
been quiet. There are a number of houses
that refuse to meet the market at pres-
ent. Wool is reported to be selling in
Ohio. but the demand is not keen. Mich-
igan growers are said to be firm
and dealers find it diflcult to buy quan—

tities of wool there to sell on this market ,

at a profit. V . -

SELF FEEDERS GOOD FOR
MARKET HOGS
ELF feeders are very valuable for
feeding hogs for market. They
have the following advantages:

Hogs consume feed more rapidly
and therefore make larger daily
gains.

They reach a marketable‘size at
an earlier date.

There is an actual saving in the
amount of feed required to produce
100 pounds of gain.

The self—feeder saves labor in hog
feeding.

 

 

 

Week of August 1
CATTERED thunder showers with
some locally heavy rains are to
be expected in many parts of
Michigan during the first part of the

week of. August lst. At the same
time temperatures will mount high
and there is a. probability that some
record readings will be taken.

This warm weather with thunder
storms will effect the state up to
about Wednesday, then the sky will
clear of! for a couple days.

Again about Friday or Saturday
there will be an increase in cloudi-
ness and the weather will become
unsettled with increasing winds,

some showers and locally heavy
rains. These conditions will run
over into next week.
Week of August 8

The weather during the first half
of the week of August 8th promises
to be rather severe in many locali-
ties. Storms of wind, rain and prob-
ably hail will leave there mark of
destruction in several counties of

- Michigan.

The worst of these storms for this
period will be over by about the
middle of the week in most parts of
Michigan and then will come a sharp
change in cooler. This break in the
heat will remain more or less con-
stant in most parts of the country
until about the 24th of this month.
Although there will be some warmer
weather during these next two

weeks, temperatures will not aver-
age much above normal during the
_ peaks but will run considerably be-
low normal after the passage of the
storm centers.

WHAT USERS SAY
CHEAPEST FUEL ’

Frederick Bartlett, Sterling Park, Lockport, Ill.,
says: Will say that we have been using your gas
and systems for the past nine months and have had
no grievance whatever with the way it works. The
heat is intense. With the large family of eight per-
sons that.I have, where the stove is almost continu-
ally runnmg from morning to night, a drum of gas
lasts us from six to eight weeks. As to the cost,
we pay less than $1.00 per thousand for the Bottled
Gas, where the city gas costs $1.25 per thousand. It
is a, good deal cheaper than the City Gas“ The stove
gives us good satisfaction, and we don’t see how we
could get along without your system.”

CLEAN-EST FUEL

Mrs. Iselman, R. R. No. 2, LaPorte, Indiana, says:
“We have been using Portane Bottled Gas for cooking
purposes and are very much pleased with it. It is not
only the cleanest fuel we have ever used, but it is
also the most economical and the most satisfactory in
every respect. We really think it is a. great improve-
ment over all other kinds of fuel and can gladly
recommend it to anyone who is interested in securing
something better to cook With than they have now.’

BEST FUEL

Mrs. L. C, Prew oi: Kankakee county, Illinois, says:
"I have used every kind of fuel in existence from corn
cobs to 'artlfiCIal gas and will say that I am mast
pleased With bottled gas. The control is wonderful.
it IS always clean and hot. Lights instantly and is
economical. There 13 no room in my house for any
other kind of fuel.”
