Five Issues Exp Among the four constitutional amendments, the one which may prove the most unpopular. but which, to me, seems about the most import- ant. and meritorious is the one to ARTICLE V, Section 9 Which re- lates to the pay of members of the State Legislature. The Lieutenant Governor, Senators and Representa- tives now receive the magnificent salary of $800 per two-year term.

The proposed amendment would increase the salary per two-year term from $800.00 to $1,200.00 and the pay for service during the first twenty days of each special session from $5.00 to» $10.00 per day. Reveals Hidden Feature .. Hidden away in this amendment and unnoticed by most people who, have read it is another feature. This consists of the ommission of five words from the present section which have been construed as preventing any member from receiving extra compensation for work done between sessions of the Legislature. With these words omitted, it would be pos- -., W s m, .tain that-"only" t . , , system can We expect tots, .e can‘- ’ merits of general farming. the pride of every owner. is the true all-purpose tractor. ing possible. tractor farming. .- sales service.

There are two proposed' amendr ments to ARTICLE VIII. The first of these is to Section 6 and would re- move ,the present restriction which renders a'person ineligible for the office ofsheriff for marathon four . years out -of any six year period. This might prove desirable in some instance, but would not be without its attendant dangers. Long tenure of odlce may result in experience and oflciency or in the building up of a machine andthe harboring of graft and inefficiency. ‘ Propose “W V " The second amendment to ART- ICLE V1! is to Section :1. permit «legislature to opact a gen- eral law providing for incorporation by any ,two' or more cities, villages or townships of metropolitan dis- tricts for the purpose of acquiring parks or public utilities. This amen-(1— ment is designed to take care of complicated situations which have arisen mostly in Wayne County be- cause ‘of the tremendous urban and suburban development. The amend- ment seems to be carefully worded to safe-guard the interest of all con- cerned and it seems to your corres- pondent that it might properly be adopted. " The fourth proposed amendment relates to ARTICLE XIII, Section 5 and what is known as the. “Excess Condemnation" proposal. . It would permit Legislature to authorize mu- nicipalities to condemn and take .the title to more land and property than is needed in the acquiring, opening and widening of boulevards, streets and alleys and for any other public use. After the improvement had been constructed the municipality could sell or lease the remainder. Such a provision would permit mu- nicipalities to obtain land for needed improvements and at the same time profit from the increasing value of these properties. Revenue thus de- rived would naturally mean that the tox—payers would be relived of just so much of the burden of the cost of government. , Shall We Have a “Con-Con"? In addition to the four specific amendments explained above, there will also appear on the November ballot the question of a general re- vision of the constitution. If this should be approved, a constitutional convention would be held beginning on the first Tuesdayof September, 1927. If such a constitutional con- vention were held, two things are ,certain—ilrst, it would cost the tax- payers a good many thousands of dollars and second, all sorts of groups and forces would be at work trying to get various changes in Michigan's fundamental law. There is a strong probability that if many of these changes were embod— ied in the new constitution, it would not be ratified when submitted to the people, because there, would be some feature of it that would prove distasteful to nearly every voter. In view of these and other angles of the situation, there seems to be a growing sentiment to the effect that it would be unwise to hold a'con- stitutiOnal convention and that any reforms that may be desirable might better be~ secured through individ- ual amendments, such as the four proposals outlined earlier in this article. Our present constitution was adopted in 1908 and is regarded as being quite generally adapted to present conditions. .

VII-Competition Strong'ln Farmers’ Judging Contest But Most Awards Remain In This State .1119 greatest event of the year in this country as far as dairymen uyare vooncerned is the National Dairy Exposition and Michigan was very fortunate this year to have it held -within its borders, during the week of October—6 to 13. To cele- brate Michigan dairymen kept sev- eral of the prizes from going out of Perhaps many firsts did no go to Michigan breeders but when it is considered that this show was declared the best ever held and the entries in most classes the greatest 'in number and finest in quality of any displayed before it was a great henor to have an entry placedamong the » first ten animals. Many state fair champions from different states did not even figure in on the win- nings at’ this year’s show, the con- test, Was so strong. . The opening day was given over, mostly, to getting acquainted with what was at the show and preparing for the judging of the various breeds which began Thursday, October 7th, with the Holsteins. W. S. Moscrip, of North Star Farm, Lake Elmo, Minn, judged the “Black and White" entries. Wisconsin defended her claim to the title of leading dairy state in the Union by winning a large num- ber of the prizes in the Holstein classes but several Michigan breed- .ers got in on the winnings. Among these were: Lakefield Farms, Clark- eton; J. F. Berkheimer, Homer; A. H. Buhl. Oxford; Kalamazoo Hos- pital, Kalamazoo; E. M. Bayne, Ro- meoyJames B. Jones, Detroit; Ben- jamin Spencer, Quinnesec; Larrowe Milling Co., Detroit; Michigan Re— formatory, Ionia; Detroit Creamery Farms, Mt. Clemens, Mt. Clemens; and J. G. Hayes, East Lansing. Michigan breeders carried off all of the honors in the farmers’ judg- ing contest on Holsteins, competing in a field of 73 individuals from Kan- sas, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. In the individual class the gold medal went to S. C. Baldwin of Bennington, the silver one to Arthur S. Reel: of lmlay City, and the bronze to Raymond B. Laser of Mason. The Clinton-Shiawassee C. T. A. team, made up of Burr A. Toten of Elsie, Jay F. Bowlby of Ovid and R. C. Woodward of Elsie, won the gold medal in the team class with 254 points. _C. S. Baldwin of Bennington, H. A. Knapp and Fred E. Martin of» Owosso, the Shia- wassee county team‘ got 228 points and won the silver medal. The bronze went to the Macomb county No. 1 C. T. A., E. A. Hardy of R0- chester, Albert Luchtman, of Wash- ington and Jack Harvey of Utica be- ing the members, and they had 221 points. Jersey Day Friday was Jersey day in the judg- ing’ring and C. H. 'Steeples, Louisi- ana A. & M. College picked the win- ners. Among the winning breeders could be found Bfénnan, Fitzgerald -& Sinks of 'Farmington, Alton Hoop- ingarner of Hillsdale, and the Oak- lands of Ann 'Arbor. . In the judging of Jerseys Ohio and Michigan farmers competed and only one “Buckeye” placed. This was E. N. Lamb, of Bowling Green, who won the silver medal in the individual class. The gold medal went to H. -Delos"Parrish of Fairgrove, and the bronze to .0. G. Wauh of Disease.

Students’ Judging Contest The names of the winners in the inter-collegiate judging were given out at the banquet of the American Dairy Science Ass’n Friday evening and the members of the Michigan team were proud to learn that in judging Holsteins they had placed first in both team and individual work. The Michigan team was made up of H. J. Foster, G. T. Witburn and Theo. W. Knopf, with Geo. Tay- lor coaching, and they won the Ho]- stein-Friesian cup. In the individual work H. J. Foster won a $400 schol- arship from the Holstein-Friesion Ass’n as first prize. He was trailed by his teammate, Theo. W. Knopf. Third place went to Texas. Michi» gan did not place in the judging of other breeds. Sweepstakes went to South Da- kota, with Ontario second and Ore- gon third. Teams from 27 states competed. In the judging of dairy products Michigan's Lnum won eighth place, being sixth in milk, sixth in cheese, eighth in butter and ninth in ice cream, in a field of 13 teams. Iowa womsweepstakes in this class for the second time .n three years and the trophy, donated by the National Dairy Ass'n, became theirs perman- ently. Country Children’s Day The features of Saturday’s pro- gram were the judging by the Boys and Girls Club members and the vo- cational school students. Saturday was known as Country Children’s Day and. all rural children accomp- panied by their parents were ad- mitted free. At a banquet given the vocational school students by the Michigan State Farm Bureau at the Detroit Y. M. C. A. Saturday night it was announced that the California team had won first place, New Jersey sec- ond, Maryland third, Georgia fourth and Illinois fifth. High individual in judging all breeds was John Glea? son from Minnesota, and his reward was a $400 scholarship offered by the DeLaval Separator Co. Michigan did not place. The coaches of the teams from twenty different states, representa- tives of the leading dairy breeds as- sociations and vocational school teachers from ,. this state were also guests at the banquet, making around 175 present and C. F. Mc— Intosh, a member of the federal board for vocational education, was the principal speaker. The American Dairy Federation also had its banquet that night and the winners were taken from the Y. M. C. A. to the Book-Cadillac hotel so that those attending the dairy federation banquet might see them. Sunday the Show remained open and a band concert was put on in the Coliseum. » / Cattle judging was resumed on Monday with Ayrshires and Brown Swiss taking the spot-light. H. H. Kildee, of Iowa State College, judged the Ayrshires, while George Hum- phrey, of Wisconsin 'State College of Agriculture, judged the Brown Swiss g' " , ~ Competition was unusually keen in Ayrshiresz’, With animals 9th by James E.‘ Davidson; Bay including the senior and grand champion cow and bull. Other Mich- igan breeders who figured in on the winnings were Brown Rochester Farm 00., of Rochester and Booth Stock Farm of Northville. Due to the small number of Ayr- shire breeders present the farmers’ judging contest in this breed schedn uled for Monday was called off. In the Brown Swiss division Mich- igan was represented by L. S. Mar- shall & Sons of Leslie, Amos Curtis of Manchester and Ernest Jackson of Parma. The Marshalls had win- ners in the majority of the different classes. Michigan also won first in state herd of eight animals entered by a state breeders’ associaton. Milo H. Peterson of Ionia. was awarded the gold medal as the best judge of Brown Swiss cattle. Er- win H. Krauss of Sebewaing captured the silver medal and R. A. Kyser of Lowell the bronze one. Judging Guernseys Guernseys held the center of the stage on Tuesday and the finest of the blood, costing all the way up to $35,000 for one animal, was there. H. H. Kildee of Iowa State College was the judge and no one envied him his job becuase of the close competi- tion. There were more millionaires with entries in this class than any of the other breeds we dare say. Among them were: J. C. Penny, of the J. C. Penny department stores; Mr. and~ Mrs. Chauncey McCormick, Napenville, 111.; William H. Wil- liams, Lyon Mountain, N. Y.; W. A. Fisher, Rochester; D. D. Tenney, Crystal Bay, Minn.: and H. S. Fire- stone, tire manufacturer of Akron, Ohio. With ‘ 3 individuals and four teams from Ohio, West Virginia and Michigan competing in the Guernsey judging farmers from this state car— ried off all the prizes. In the indi- vidual class H. G. Tyrell of Detroit won first, G. H. Hitchcox of Athens second, and Ludell W. Cheney of Mason third. First in the team class went to the Lansing—Ingham C. T. A., composed of Ludell E. Cheney of Mason, Leslie A. and Moryl Wilcox of Lansing. Second prize went to the Farms-Jackson C. T. A. team, made up of George Van Marter and Jasper M. Godfrey of Palma, George A. Willson and Clem Chalker of Ovid. Grade Cattle Michigan had things her own way in the grade cow classes as there were no entries from other states, except in the Ayrshires. H. H. Kil- dee judged. In the Holsteins the Larrowe Milling 00., Detroit, had the champion cow and won first on cow with test association record of 250 pounds and first cow with record of 300 pounds. Other winners in the two latter classes were: Louis Schoof of Washington, George Drake of Kal- amazoo, Kalamazoo State Hospital, Max Abbott ‘of Alamo, Reuben Ha— zen of Coloma, Frank Wilcox of R0- meo, and Bert Collins o-f Eau Claire. Macomb county cow testing asso- ciation No. 1 was first in the class for five cows from a single testing asso- ciation, trailed by Kalamazoo and Berrien county associations. The champion Guernsey grade cow was entered by George Westgate of Fremont. She was also first in the class for cows with 300 pound record. Berrien county had the only entry in the class for five grades from a cow testing association, in the Guern- am. ' V. D. Sanders, of South Haven showed the cham’piongcow in the Jerseys, and he also won three firsts, a fourth and a fifth. Allegan county * was first in the class for five cows from a single association. Brownie, owned by Ralph W. Cripps, of Camden, Me., was the champion Ayrshire grade. She holds the world's record for milk produc— tion among Ayrshire grade cows. Boys and Girls Classes In calf club contest Clarence Mer- chant, of Cass City, won third place in the Holsteins with his Michigan State Fair champion. Second and third places went to Michigan in the state groups, with Watson Spuven, Clarence Merchant, Yale Salisbury and Kenneth Proctor getting second, and Ellsworth Zimmerman, Charles Monroe, Margaret Hough, Elmer Twichell and Raymond Laser taking third. In the Guernsey class Michigan, represented by Cyril Spike, got fourth, and second place was ours in the state group. Our team was composed of. Cyril Spike, Carl Luder- man, Lawrence Moore, Jack Stone and Raymond Schaffer. Third place went to Michigan in the Jerseys, Warren Goss being our representative. Fifth and sixth were our places in the state group win- nings. Warren Goss, Russell Part— ridge, Mac Olds and Grant Ball won fifth, with Treavor Dyer, Willow Newell, Sircy Simone, Laurel Bailey and Willie Roost Winning sixth. There were no state groups in the Ayrshire class but “Heifer over two” was won by Dorwood for Michigan. Clarence Reynolds won second for Michigan in Brown Swiss.

Other Features Women attending the exposition made the Woman’s building their headquarters where Mrs. Edith M. Wager, of Carleton, Mich., was in charge. An interesting exhibit of electrical appliances for use in the farm home, made possible through keeping good cows, got considerable attention from the visitors. The health Show, held in the Dairy building, also was a popular place with the women. Many exhibits of interest to the women were made in this building. Exhibits of dairy machinery and feeds occupied most of the floor space in the new agricultural build~ ing but the main attraction was the , display by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Separate booths, con- sisting of many real and lifesized models, were devoted to the follow- ing subjects, one subject to each booth: What is the normal growth of heifers?: Rapid changes in conform- ation taking place in growth and de— velopment; Relation of outside meas- urements of cow to certain inside measurements: Stet-lining dairy uten- sils: Random selection. of Sires; The (Continued. on page 33).: * ‘ .l .OMEONE made the statement that'if you have something that the public wants they will wear a pathway to your doorstep to get ’ it, even though you may live in a wilderness. He should have added that after that it was mostly up to you as to how much business you would do. Some would be satisfied to let the public continue to travel the narrow pathway into the wilder— ness, others would invest their first earnings in locating where the peop- lecould find them easily, where they .would come oftener and buy more, thus increasing profits many times over. Food is something that We must have to live. If necessary the public .would go to the ends of the earth to get it, but it is not necessary. There are men who make their living by bringing this food to the consumers and they are paid well, as a rule, for , their labor. - The farmer produces inanv of the different foods required by man and . most of this food goes to the towns and cities in wholesale lots where it is displayed and the larger per cent of the people make their purchases. ‘ As some of the food must go through several processes in large factories before it is ready to be put on the market it would be im- possible for the farmer to entice the consumer to his doorstep for it in its raw stage, and to bring it back .to the farm to sell after it had been manufactured would not be practic- al. But there are many foods grown on the farm that can be sold direct to the consumer. These include veg— etables, fruits, eggs, poultry, and articles manufactured on the farm . such as butter, canned fruits, jellies, .preserves and refreshments.

C. Horn, of Auburn, a farmer who operates a roadside market. The sign on the roof of his barn he considers a good investment. the beginning of the roadside market which today you find on all of'the main highways and many byways. In the early days salesmanship at a roadside stand or market was un- usual, but here too there has been a change. Many farmers are becom— ing experienced salesmen, they study the desires of their customers, and try to please them with high quali- ty produce and right prices. Stands are becoming more numerous each day and that means more competi- tion for trade, with the one serving the public best getting the largest percentage of the business. Stands are made attractive and the produce displayed in a pleasing manner to catch the eye of the passing motor- ists. This method of marketing has spread so rapidly during the last two or three years that this past sum- mer a meeting was called, following an investigation, to discuss standard- izing the roadside market. It was finally decided that this should be done under the direction of the state. This method of marketing is high- ly pleasing to the farmer because it products to a market many miles away and taking a wholesale price, and he retails at the roadside at a price that shows him a reasonable profit. Some have made a real success of roadside marketing, they have got- ten out of the "wilderness” with dif— ferent ideas, while others have fail— ed. This is of course true of any business, and it may not always be the lack of ambition or market that causes the failures. Some folks have natural instincts along certain lines and they succeed in abusiness of that nature. If your neighbor has the instinct of a merchant born in him and you haven’t he is better equipped to operate a roadside mar- ket. But if you try out his ideas you will probably find that your bus— iness improves, and if you add the ideas of other successful market op- erators you may pass him in the amount of business done, if he just follows his own ideas.

The ground is so saturated w i t h water, one is al- most airaid to take a team on fields which are apparently dry. Our farm is mostly h i g h land, and, if any- one can get on their land to work, we can—and this has proven. quite a blessing this fall. In fact, we were able to run a corn binder on three of our fields when most farmers thought it impossible. A friend from Lenawee county was telling the writer about a farm- er in his section who used four horses on his corn binder, and had four horses on his wagons for haul- ing the corn to the silo. .Now this man may succeed in getting his silo filled, but he is doing a great deal of damage to his field, and the silo filling may prove to be a very ex- pensive operation. At this writing, I believe I am safe in, saying there is not one silo in ten in Hillsdale county that has been filled. It would seem there are half of them which will not be filled this fall. A heavy rain came yesterday aft- ernoon, and continued until along toward night, when the sun broke through the clouds, and, in the east, a most beautiful rainbow brightened the heavy black clouds. The old saying, “A rainbow at night, the sailor’s delight," came to mind, and I had really planned on a. pleasant day today—but that was only a pleasant thought to entertain during the evening-21 look at the sky show- ed all the stars brightly shining, and what a lot of work was planned for today! But today is here, and it is raining, and has been, more or less, throughout the night. It means we shall surely have to give up sowing one field of wheat. This field is not on our home farm, and there is a low stretch of ground running across the center of it, containing perhaps a fourth of the acreage. A. corn field joins this field, and has the same ground level. We were able to cut the corn with the binder on either side of this low ground, al» though we had hard work to get the binder across for work on the far side. We did, however. and had the corn nearly cut when a heavy down- pour came and there the binder is, L. name (fluid by L. W. ms, Hillsdale County (Isny plewrite as:- In. Moss's edvles es Mont i see b i i m "m... mwméeshmséuhm seem s and we can not get it out! We were through using it, after this field was - cut, but we would like to put it under cover. Corn was down quite badly in many places this year, some fields being about flat. A corn hinder would not work on these. but we Wwere able to use the binder on all our fields, and, while some places were down considerably, it is eur- prising how well the binder plcied it up. We have never timed our- selves in cutting corn with the bind- . or until this fall, and on exactly six and one hell sores it required just 14 hours of man labor and seven hours of three-horse team work, to put it in the shock. There are not more than live bushels of ears knocked on, and, as this field stood up well, there are practically no . stalks but what are cut and bound. The next field contained five acres and the corn was dewn in many places. This was cut in about six hours ,and six hours were required to set it up. This field shows more corn uncut for it. was flat in same places, and, where corn leans away from the binder, it cannot pick it up. And how a. few uncut stalks do show up a corn field! In a wheat field, there are many, very many, straws with beads of wheat that escape the bundle and lie around all over the field, but no one ever notices or mentions it. With corn it. is different and yet, no doubt, the wheat left on a field is of just a great value as the corn left on most binder cut corn fields. Do not misunder- stand me. I would prefer to have most of our corn cut by hand, but with the labor we have this is im- possible, and for this reason we like the binder. Twenty ‘five years ago help was abundant, and from sev- enty-five cents to a. dollar would hire an acre of corn cut, but that is history now, and without a binder today, ‘our com would go uncut. I feel the same about husking corn with a shredder. I would far rath- er have it husked by hand, but it is impossible to get it all out this way, and the husker will do it, although it may not be as neat a job. It is quite evident the time has come when farmers must accomplish farm operations the best they can‘ even though this may not be the ideal’way or the one they prefer. No doubt two thirds of the people will say labor shortage is the worst problem with which a farmer has to contend, or that the shortage of 1a- bor is the cause of the so-called agri- cultural depression. However, this is open for discussion and in a. near future article the writer will give some of his views on the subject. t -* II He Is In Error Have just been reading in’a farm paper the views 01' some one showing one way the farmers are lax.

The blame should be put where it belongs, namely; on an impractical and un— workable grading law. We believe that, for all practical purposes, there are at present, only two grape grades, the Fancy Table '.grade and the No. 2 grade. There is, in fact, not enough difference be- tween the Fancy Table grade and the No.1 grade to make the latter of any . use whatever. ’7 The No.1 grade, being packed mostly in .jumbo baskets, is used almost entirely for juice purposes. and, as long asthe grapes are well colored and mature, we see no rea— son why this grade should not in-r MEET THE MISSUS, (11an Girls, (we are speaking to those whose ,hearts flutter when they see a. picture of our handsome Fruit- and Orchard editor) we want you to meet Mrs. Herbert Nar- ziger. We hated to do this but as he is happily married we thought it best that you know, so that you can encourage the attention of local admirers before it is clude a good big tolerance for strag- gly bunches. The No. 2 grade could then serve for grapes which have not colored properly and do not meet' the other grade requirements. _ It is true that the present No. 1 grade includes an allowance for “less ' compact” bunches, but under the law as it is interpreted at present, “less . compact” does not mean “straggly”. We believe that the grape grading laws should draw clear and unmis- takable lines between the grades, so that the Fancy Table grade should be a good grade, the No. 1 fair and the ,No. 2 poor. A successful No.1 grade is vital to the grape industry. Why not put it on the map by making it prac‘ tical and workable. As the law stands at present the No. 1 is mere- ly a paragraph in a circular and v-means nothing ‘to the practical grower. .

This disease affects the canes and the berg ries. A whole cane or a branch may suddenly wilt or one side of a cane may be aflected which will cause it to become very brittle. The only treatment is to remove and burn the old canes immediately after harvest. In the early spring the patch should be gone over again and all dead di- seased canes removed and burned. Oats will make a good cover crop toihold snow and add humus to the so 1 You can sell plants to your neigh- bors without inspection but it you wish to advertise or sell to other nurseries then we would advise you to write to the State Inspector of Orchards and Nurseries, State De- partment of Agrictlture, Lansing, Michigan. You are considerably north of the commercial grape belt so perhaps your grapes have not been out long enough to bear. It the grapes are growing well then all that is neces- sary is patience. Barring frosts they ought to bear next year. GOING INTO BERRY BUSINESS We are just beginning to cultivate strawberries, also raspberries. We have rich sandy soil and also some low land fine for gardening or fruit. Now my problem is where and how will I find a good market? It would be a help to ship all we raise to one place. I ship my poultry to a com- mission house in Detroit. Can you tell me where Icould ship fruit or berries and get a fair price? We think we should like to ship our pro- duce until we learn the details of the business as grading, etc., and are better equipped to deliver.-—-—Mrs. L. B., St. Johns, Michigan. OUR “rich sandy soil” sounds good to me. The low land may be an excellent garden site but -as a rule low land is not a good location for fruit because the frost is apt to settle there. Berry growers in the fruit belt market their fruit in various ways. One way is to ship everything to a reliable commission house. Some sell all they can at the roadside and if you live on a farm on a main read much fruit can be' disposed of in this way. Another favorite method is to haul the fruit to a city market and this is a very good way if you live 'within reasonable distance of such a market. A surprising amount of pro— duce is, sold every year by farmers who sell their fruit from house to house and to workers in industrial centers, such as Flint, Lansing. De— troit, etc. To make a success of this method you will need all of the essentials of good salesmanship. such as a pleasing manner, plenty of patience, a good sales talk, and a good quality of goods to sell. Which ever method you may choose, get ready before hand and do not wait until the fruit is ready for harvest. If you decide to ship to a commission house look up their repu- tation and financial rating before you send them anything and if possible make them a visit so as to get per- sonally acquainted. Shipping to a commission house is very convenient but some farmers found it rather costly and net returns per crate are not likely to be as high as by a thorough application of one of the other methods. g Striking a.

After he had gone, the boys sat and stared at each other “for a long time, never saying a word—like two owls, “Now, what do you know’ about that!" said Doug finally. “You can search me!” replied Terry. “If he had come at us with a gun in ‘each hand and a knife in his teeth, I wouldn't have been any more surprised." “Me, either! Not that I wouldn't a lot rather be on good terms with him than bad—Here cames old Mort right now." Mort strode across the room and sat down at their table. "Couldn’t wait till you got back to hear the news," he said. "So I just saddled up and fogged over here. How'd you come out?" “All hunky-dory," ‘said Terry. "It’s cur's." , Mort slapped his knee with satisfaction. “Kord was just in here, and he was friendly as a candidate. OUR STORY TO DATE THE Muirs are ordered to move westward from Iowa by the fruuily physician on account of Dad's health, so they buy a Colorado ranch. who is around 19, and his chum, Doug Summers, work under way as it is harvest time. with Kord, their next door neighbor, one of the same age, go on ahead to get after their arrival they meet up meanest cusses you ever heard tell of. start happening pretty regular.

At least it seemed a long time to them. “Must be asleep," choked Terry. “Let’s see if we can wake him up," suggested Doug, and he began yelling, “Fire! Fire! Fire ' Terry joined him. Almost directly a door clanged and hurried feet rushed down the corridor. “What's up in there?" It was the sher- iff’s voice. The room was so crammed with smoke that he could see nothing. In fact, the boys could not even see the bars in the door. “We're burning up!" said Doug, in a smothered voice. "Open up, there i” They heard the lock turn and the door creak as it opened. The sheriff was coughing and strangling furiously and they crawled out silently past him down the corridor and out the door. Terry drew a deep breath of the fresh air and laughed. “Never did see us, did he? Bet he's up there fishing around in that smoke for us." "Let 'im fish." said Doug. “Let's get over to the courthouse while he’s still at it." ' The hands of the courthouse clock pointed to a quarter to eight as they ap= preached the building. A man was stand- ing, back turned, at the front door, ap- parently waiting until the door opened. “That’s Kord." said Terry. “Let's go around by the back way." They slipped around and entered at the basement door. Inside, the janitor was sitting half asleep by the boiler, smok- ing a pipe so short that it almost met his nose." “Morning," he said, out of the corner of his mouth, without removing the pipe. “Morning," replied Doug. "When will the registrar be in ?” “In now. He always comes down early and goes in this way. I don’t unlock the front door till eight o’clock." “Where’s his ofiice?” inquired Terry breathlessly. “Second floor. You'll see the sign." In their rush they forgot to thank him. Up the stairs they bounded, found the office and entered. The registrar, a busid nesslike man, smiled. at their breathless entry. He took Terry’s affidavit and posted the records. They pocketed his receipt, and out they put, heads in the air, just as the janitor opened the front‘ door. Thru it they rushed, and met Kord coming in. - “Why, hello, there!" said Doug, with affected surprise. “Why, hello !" echoed Terry, in an iden- tical tone. Kord stared, open mouthed, turned and looked at them as they swung down the street. “Let’s ea " said Terry. “Same here," said Doug. “Here’s the restaurant.” ' , While they were eating, Kord entered and took a. seat near them. He looked across and saw them. “He's coming over," said Doug. gets the first smack at him?" . “Me," said Terry, promptly. ‘W yours." Kord came up, actually grinning. . . g , “That was pretty neat, fellers."-he said. "I know when I'm, licked. )1, said Doug. You've had W'fllsi " anything for us, he said. What do you think of that?” “That's easy," laughed Mort. “He knows when he's licked. And he knowa he can't get a drop of water to irrigate with only what you choose‘ to let him have. You won’t have any more trouble with him.” , . “Sure glad to know that," said Terry. “And he’s welcome to all the water we won’t need." “Have you seen the bank?" asked Mort suddenly. "Dog-gone!" exclaimed Terry. got all about that !” ”Well, listen! That’s mostl'y what I came for. You’ll waste time seeing them. You boys go around and see Ben An- derson." “You mean the saddle and harness man ?" “That’s him." "Do you know how much we‘ve got to have?" asked Terry, incredulously. “Don’t make any difference," Mort grinned. “You go ahead and see him. Tell him how you’re fixed. If he takes a fancy to you, he’ll fix you up; if he don’t he won’t. That's Ben’s way. Now go ahead while I eat my breakfast." They found the old man working on a saddle. “Why, hello!" he said. "You tellers get over the divide all right that time?” "By walking all night,” said Doug. Ben chuckled. "What can I do for you?” he asked. Terry glanced around at the little shop. The whole thing, building included, could not be worth more than six or eight hundred. . “Lend us five thousand dollars," said. "Zwick pinching you?" calmly. Terry nodded. “Got any security to put up?" “Eight or ten thousand bushels of grain. Won't need the money only until we can sell the grain." “Can you sign for your father?" Terry pulled out the slip of paper. "This says so," he said. ' "Be willin’ to sign me an order on the grain?" - . - “Sure.” “Alright."

Terry gasped. “Hundreds be all right?” asked the clerk, picking up a bale of bills. ‘ “'Sure! Fine !" sternmered Terry.

Mr. An- derson seems to have taken a fancy to you, and he'll back anybody he likes to the limit, and that can’t be too high. * "Let's get down to the bank!" begged Doug, “before that money takes wings and flies away! Maybe it's counterfeit,” However, the lower bank took it with- out question. Mort, on the way home that afternoon, enjoyed their bewilder- ment hugely. “Old Ben, is one of the richest men in these parts," he said. ”When you’re solid with him, you're sittin' on the world. And it don’t take him a year to make up his mind about a person, either." “Sure fooled me!" replied Terry. It was dark when they reached home, as usual. Cattle were lowing up on the feed ground, lights were gleaming thru the snow, for it was snowing again, and a general sense of satisfaction and well- doing possessed everybody. Mr. Muir seemed better than he had for years. What a cozy. homelike place that big kitchen was! Outside the snow swirled gustily, but inside those sturdy logs gave warmth and goOd cheer. “Who made the biscuits tonight?" asked Doug, as they drew up to the table. "I did!" said Mary. defiantly. “Oh Lord !" groaned Doug, seizing one. “My teeth’s wore clear down to the gums now !" “Too bad !" mocked Mary. “Boys,” Mr. Muir interrupted the chaff- ing, “as soon as we get title to that half- section. I aim to divide it between you. That will give you a hundred and sixty acres apiece—a nice start." "You tell 'em !" exclaimed Doug. “And there’s a fine place on the upper side to build a house. If I get that side, I aim to build—" . There was a great stillness in the room. Doug stopped suddenly, crimson to- his cars. So was Mary.

TEXT: “And he took a little child and set him in the midst of them?”— lfiark 9-88. ND all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy child- ren. " The prophet spoke better than . he knew. In a general way he saw a time when righteousness would prevail. In the thought of Isaiah, the convenant of God’s peace was sure. The hearts of men were to be shifted from a tranciency‘of material things to a loVe for higher things. But the meaning of his words did not have New Testament depth and significance. Our Lord Christ has proposed that God’s kingddm is to come thru the children when they are taught of him. We are now in our fourth annual vacation bible school at the Oak- dale community church. The child- ren are delighted. A feature of our closing days will be an automobile parade thru the surrounding country and towns. Our church orchestra will accompany and the children will sing songs. As a part of the hand work of the school the children are making pennants for each car. Well, the child is in our midst and the challenge that comes to us is to place Christ's value upon it. We have learned pretty well the value of the material things about us. We are pretty good students of eco- nomics. We show a clever hand at figuring the production cost of this or that we might realize profits. In these things we have standards. But, in the personalities of life, we also have standards. Yet, they are en— tirely different. Here we throw away our arithmetic. Arithmetic is for- eign to heaven. An heaven says that children are of kingdom value. The security of society is to accept the worth estimate that Christ places upon every child soul. we certainly need a greater sensitiveness along this line. ' Did you ever look into the face of an infant child and feel like bring- ing it gifts and incense? Who knows what is wrapped up in a swaddled baby? All of us believe that there is something elect and heavenly in a baby's face. I am now imaging the Hebrew mothers who for centuries looked into their babies’ "faces and wondered which one might be the coming Messiah. And that was a great day for Mary when Gabriel said to her, “Hail thou art highly favored, the Lord is with thee." And “the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God." But all babies have in Lthem the native yearnings and possibilities of son- ship. Of course, they come to us in unassumed character. We do not know just what place they will fill in life. Yet, this depends mostly upon their elders. It is the right of their birth to have a fair start in life. No matter where they are born, it is society’s moral responsibil- ity to treat with them with rare con- cern. But we are not doing it. Why? We have not- yet become Christian enuf. Every new child is Christ coming back to us whether born in hovel or mansion. When are we going to learn that every child is distinctive in its mold since made in the image of God? How long before we will believe that Christ would identify himself with the child so that its true Christian rank might be unfolded to the world.. As we deal with our" children so we deal with , their Father in heaven. Mrs. Lamoreaux, in her timely little volume “The Unfolding Life," says "In dealing with things the vessel marred in the making can be set aside or fashioned anew, but a , life is for eternity. "The faulty work cannot be undone. The mis- take can never be wholly rectified, for life never yields up What is given it.

A personal reply will be sent to you tlieitree to bring forth good fruit in its season, says the psalmist, we must plant it by the streams of water. This is a parable of human living.~ There are four peach trees 'on the parsonage grounds where I live. Three of them were not prop- erly pruned in the beginning years. Now they are ill—shaped and ill pre- pared for normal fruit and to stand the storms that beat against them. The other tree I set out last year and I am pruning it to a low head and heavy, stocky body for the strain of ,fruitage and storm. This tree has a promising future. But all this is true of the child. It needs definite attention or else it is bound to have an illa-shapen life. This is the mut- ual responsibility of the home and society. In childhood, life takes form and bias according to its en- viroment in home and community. Boys and girls live their lives in terms of standards created for them. Tomorrow as adults they will be speaking the words and acting the selves of their fathers and mothers. When they go into the far country of sin; when they are selfish, coarse, haughty, and irreverent, something, with but few exceptions, has been wrong at home. Most of the saints have been» made at home. This generation is giving much too little attention to the religious and moral training of children. The state is saying, “This is not for me" and the Home says, “I’ll give the job over to the church." And the church is not serious enuf. Author- ities tell us that of the children und- er twenty-five years of age, nineteen out of twenty Jewish, three out of four Roman Catholic, and two out of three of all Protestant children have not sufficient religious back— ground to expect them to become safe citizens. This .is forcibly brought home to all of us thru the juvenile crime and delinquency of our day. Christ put a child in the midst and made him the pivot in the life and enterprise of a Christian civilization. And the child is yet the essential center in the life and work of the church. Now, our trouble is, we are too busy to sit at the feet of Christ to get his conception of life and pro- gress. We do not have time to take the children and attend Sunday morning worship. Many mothers re— main at home to prepare big Sunday dinners and fathers to work on their car to get it ready for the afternoon drive. “We always have time enuf if we will ,but use it aright.” Pity is to the children who aremissing the boon of a Christian home. Christ’s words to Martha are always impressive, “You are troubled and anxious about many things, but one thing is needful.” In our great con- cern for the physical necessities and pleasures of our children we may be the potent cause in their missing the highest and best in life. Our true character is shown in the way we deal with our children.

E. Skinner, secretary of the National Dairy Association, and he informed the Editor that he was more impressed with the possibilities in this state than in any other in the dairy sections. Such a statement, given out by a man who for many years has been connected with the organiza- tion responsible for the National Dairy Exposition, who has devoted much time to the study of dairy cattle and the states where dairying plays an important part in their farm program, bears more than ordinary significance with the public. But to the farmers of this state it means dollars and cents, and they should accept Mr. Skinner’s view— point as that of an outsider who has made a careful survey of all dairy states with no personal interest in any of them, and plan the extension of their dairying operations accordingly. Many of the farmers of Michigan took advant- age of the opportunity to visit the Dairy Expos- ition during the forepart of this month at De- troit and they gained ideas which they can work out to a wonderful advantage on their own farms and pass along to their neighbors who did not attend. The holding of such a show within the borders of any state is bound to cause the dairy- ing industry of that state to take a great step forward, and we are looking for a very progress— ive future for dairying in Michigan. PIONEER LETTER CONTEST WINNERS URING the last couple of days we have been living in the past, in the days when all Mich~ igan, except a few of the southern counties, was covered with dense woods, and mostly in- habited by Indians, with deers, bears and wolves roaming at will. The railroad had not penetrated very far northward in those days and most of the traveling was done by ox team or on foot over the Indian trails. The newcomer fell the trees for a double purpose—to make a clearing so that he could put up a rude cabin to house his family, and he needed the logs to build the cabin with. Then began his fight to win a farm out of the forest, and he usually won, with the help of his good wife and children. We have been reading the letters entered by our pioneer letter contest, and it was a most in- teresting task, one that we were loathe to see come to an end. They are so interesting that one wants to read them over two or three times, in fact, we did do that with several of them, and the judges , had a. most difficult, yet interesting, job to pick the winners which we are pleased to announce. The first prize of $5.00 went to Lavinia Hem- ‘ inger, of Cedar Springs, who wrote a most inter- esting story of the life of her father and mother as well as of her childhood in the central part. of the state. Charles M. Chaffen, of Ithaca, won second prize of $3.00, with the story of his own pioneer days in Gratiot county. The winner of third prize, Miss Florence Nelson, LeRoy, sent "in a story on the early days in Osceola county.

OUR hundred and thirty-four years ago, Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain with three frail boats and 120 men to find new lands. These intrepid mariners sailed for days upon unchartered waters, going to certain death in the opinion of most of the people of the old world, and after over a month they were re~ warded by the sight of land. It was on October 12th, 1492, that they landed on one of the Ba- hama Islands, which Columbus called San Salva- dor. For many years it took at least a month to cross the ocean but finally ships were improved until the time was cut in half. Many of us can remember when fourteen days were required, and, that was considered remarkable. But the world continued to progress and better and faster ships were built until today the trip can be made in six days. Aviator-scientists predict that it will not be long before luxurious ocean air lines will be established, and giant airships, several thous- and feet long, will carry people over to Europe in three days, reducing the time taken by steam- ships one-half. What would Columbus say if he could return to earth today and 'view our modern methods of transportation? SERVICE FOR MICHIGAN POULTRYMEN HE poultrymen of Michigan are not satisfied with the facilities for poultry research at the Michigan State College and they intend-to ask Legislature at its next session to appropriate funds to build a new poultry building and lab- oratory. We want to go on record as being in favor of this move and we believe the Legislature should heed the request. At present the College is putting forth almost hopeless effort to serve Michigan’s $72,000,000 poultry industry with equipment valued at only $8,500. The $26,000,- 000 fruit industry of the state—is being served with equipment costing $400,000, and the $72,- 000,000 dairy industry by equipment costing $65,000. Comparing the value of the industries by the value of the equipment used in serving them, on wonders how the poultry industry of the stat has made any progress. Certainly no one would argue that we have too much equipment for serving our fruit‘ and dairy industries, in fact we are inclined to wonder at times if we have enough, yet we are trying to serve our poultrymen with only one—ninth the investment that we have in equipment for serv— ing the Michigan fruit growers. Furthermore, we understand there are no funds appropriated for poultry research work, while sums ranging from $6.00 to $24,000 are STATE POLICE HELPING FIGHT CHICKEN THIEVES LTlIOUGH our campaign against the chicken thief in Michigan was an- nounced only recently we are already at work on several cases, thanks to the ready cooperation of our readers in report- ing conditions in their territory. Several . cases of poultry buyers giving worthless checks have been reported, and, while this dyes not come under the head of chicken. theft so rewards are not in order, we are working on them. with the hearty support of the State Police, and hope to put some of the swindlers in jail. Commissioner Alan Straight has assured us that the State Police will gladly work with us in our war against those who raid the farmer's chicken coop, and take his year’s profit from chick- ens, all within a few moments. Working ' with both local and state officers we feel sure that it will not be long before we have someofthc thlemrbehlnd fisherman! throw a good were his. the rest of them.

He writes that he is 25 years old, weighs 145 pounds, is strong physically and"‘full of pop", of a quiet disposition and interested in things of a moral nature, and he wishes to becOme acquaint- ed with a charming young lady. He has a com- mon school education and is a graduate of two short courses at M. S. 0. Here is a fine young man, located in a fertile section of the state, who is looking for a. life part- ner. From his letter'we can tell that the flapper type of girl does not interest him. He wants a sweet young lady who likes the farm and would be interested in becoming the wife of a progress- ive young "farmer. Of course, love will play its important part in the match, just as it should, but it will not be a difficult matter for the right young lady to fall in love withhim, or him with her. We are not operating a matrimonial bureau but. we do want, to help this young‘man so if there are any young ladies who would like to be- come acquainted with him we would like to hear frOm them.- Understand that this is a serious matter and we want to hear only from those who consider it in that light. Letters should be ad- dressed to the Editor and they will be considered strictly confidential. A WEATHER BARGAIN EVERAL years ago a rainmaker made a con- tract with the farmers of a semi-arid region whereby he was to receive a thousand dol- lars an inch for the rainfall during three months. He got about $8,000 out of his contract; but the other fellows figured that it might have rained just as much without the rain-maker and this year they made him a new proposition. They planted 640 acres of wheat for the weather wiz- ard and told him to turn on the water'and make a crop of it, for it would cost him nothing but harvesting. After busting off a few buttons in his efforts to produce some showers he was com- pelled to harvest a dry crop, out of’ which he. got less than a dollar an acre. Yet some folks _ think farmers need a business guardian and every other sort of guardian!

I am a farmer here in Tuscola coun- ty, but I travel on the roads a great deal and I have noticed a~.lot of trucks and cars of all kinds hauling poultry at night. “Now I cannot see why a farmer must start for the city at midnight with a load of poultry these days when we can make a market in three hours nowadays at anytime. I think it would make a great deal of dif- ierence it there was a law passed that no poultry is allowed to be one any moving vehicle after sun down till sun up. This law would sure help the farmer; and I don’t think any farmer would have any objec- tions to this law as it would help him. I think poultry buyers that go around the country buying poultry could stop at night with their trucks until day-light to make their ma’r- ket. I also think these poultry buy- ers (that is some of them) know just how this poultry stealing is done. I have no proof to this but have seen a lot of them driving at night at all hours for Flint and other large towns. No one can stop them or say a thing to them, which‘makes it very easy for these poultry thieves to get away.

If a large poultry shipper must haul at. night, he should have a special per- mit to do so and stop and show it if he is stopped on the road at night. In that way night marshalls in small towns can stop him when going through, also deputies and sheriffs would demand to see this permit or hold individual until he can prove his property. “There are several large poultry buyers in Caro. I think these buy- ers should demand name and ad- dress of all that sell poultry to them. These buyers are well acquainted with all farmers in the surrounding country. These men could quickly detect strangers and ii suspicious could have investigation started. hoping this will help some to destroy these thieves as I wish to see this state free of thieves and we can raise poultry ssiely.

GROWING CHILD NEEDS QUART OF MILK PER DAY ERE are a number of good rea— sons why a growing child needs a quart of milk per day. 1. Milk is the best single food. It supplies easily digesed proteins for body building; mineral salts for blood, bones and teeth; vitamines for health and growth; and easily di— gested fat and sugar for energy and gain in weight. 2. Milk is economical as supply of lime and body builders. One glass gives 54; amount lime needed daily. One glass equals (in lime supply), 81/2 eggs, 1%. cabbage, 5% pounds potatoes, 8% pounds of meat. One quart of milk gives as much protein as 4 large eggs or 7 ounces sirloin steak. , 3. Milk makes meal planning easy. Milk is the foundation—not the whole diet. Egg yolk or vege— tables will add the iron, tomato or orange juice the vitamies needed, and fruits, vegetables, whole cereals and bread will supply the roughage. .4. Milk and milk products are easily used in cooking. Here. are some dishes based on milk: Cocoa, soup, milk gravy, creamed dishes, _ custards, puddings, ice cream, and sherbet. Here are some combina- tions with milk: cereals and breads, fruits and fruit juices. Use of Milk in Body 1. Protein. When milk enters the stomach it clots or clabbers as it does during the souring process in the milk pan. Certain little bacteria (harmless) work on the sugar in the milk and make an acid. It is the field that clabbers the milk or makes the protein solid. That is exactly what happens in the stomach. 2. Sugar. The sugar in milk is lactose. It is not so sweet as ordi- nary sugar and is easier to digest. 'It furnishes heat. 3. Fat. All whole milk contains fat in the form of cream. It is in the form of “emolsion” and is therefore easily digested. 4. Mineral. Lime and phosphor- 5, one, especially needed in bones and teeth, are there in the proper com- bination for best work. One quart 'mllk gives theday’s supply of lime and about 1/3, supply phosphorous. LIN OLEUM FOR THE WORK SPACE HE‘THER for a table or for any other working surface in the kitchen, inlaid linoleum makes a covering that is quiet to work on and is easily cleaned. When the surface is' properly treated pastry may be rolled out, bread cut, and at or cold dishes placed on it with- but harm.

TIME SAVERS BRING REST PERIODS O the housewife who believes in the gospel of rest and recreation as well as the gospel of work, the following suggestions are offered by Mary A. Davis, extension special- ist in foods and nutrition at South Dakota State College. A homemaker must make short cuts to the necessary “three meals a day", if she wants time to enjoy friends, clubs, books, an hour or two in the open, and occasional motor trips. Food put in charge of silent ser- vants needs little or no watching. A wise homemaker will gradually collect implements and tools that will make kitchen work easier. She will often select one-dish din- We are always glad to hear from our readers who give us their )pinion of our paper; or any suggestions where we can improve our service. Our editor has just one idea in mind regarding M. B. F. and that is to make it second to none, in the field that it serves.

She will keep the tools and equip- ment as close together as possible and convenient to the place where they are most used. A kitchen cabi— net has proved its worth in that re- spect. Where no cabinet is avail- able, shelves may be arranged over the kitchen table or beside it. The housewife will save many steps by a simple rearrangement of the kitchen fixtures. In every well-managed home, the wife of the house will have on her pantry shelves, meats, vegetables, and fruits canned in season, which can be. prepared for the table in a very few minutes. She will have trays and wheel stands, those great step and time savers, to carry dishes to and from the dining room, kitchen, and pantry. She will have a high stool to sit on and a small soft washable rug in front of the sink to ease her tired feet when standing there. Her work table and sink will be just the right height; her tools will be kept in good condition. Build A Handy Kitchen Wagon Simple kitchen wagon. BUILD A HANDY KITCHEN WAGON HE average farm wife does more walking than any other woman living we dare say, and perhaps does the least of any class of women to save herself steps. The Michigan State College has published a bulletin entitled “Farm Kitchens," which is distributed free of charge to all of those requesting, it, that contains some very good ad- , vice cleng the lines at arranging two kitchen wagons shown here are taken from this bulletin. The kitchen wagon can be used in many ways, but its principle use is for when setting the table or clearing away the dishes. You can do in one trip what would require several without it. The simple wheel tray equipped with common castors can be easily built by anyone who is at all handy with a hammer and saw, and many of them are constructed by women whose husbands are too busy to find the time. Of course the second one is more substantial, looks nicer and will prove more satisfactory, but do not go without a kitchen wagon just because there may not be time for construction of this one. }/ .12” "”3 (0% .....

Who Pays, 'When and Whore—Tho moving picture has accustomed u to the phrase: "The woman pays and ays and pays," but this is by no means he in- variable social rule. If you are se off a friend at the Pennsylvania Terminal, and excuse yourself for a. moment to re- ' turn with an armful of magazines for her to read on the train, the question as t9,", who pays, naturally, does not arise. But —and this is the gist of the whole matter of the woman’ s paying—it is her decision This will cure it or 1 the worst case of sore or quinzy throat ;.. take equal parts of tincture of iron and-u 1.. which must be respected, in the last an- } alysis, especially in these days of feminine independence. Ever since Ibsen wrote "The Doll’s House” woman’s greater in- dependence has had an increasing number of social reflexes. The old theory that woman financially is always a clinging vine has been abandoned. As in somany other cases, ‘the degree of friendship be- tween a. man or woman plays -a 'part. Two young people were engaged, for the- sake of some practical end in view, may have decided that each should pay his own way when together. This involves no breach of etiquette. Bus and. taxi fares are paid and subway and elevated tickets bought by the man as a rule—— unless the lady objects and prefers to. pay for herself. If she does object, it is impolite of the man to insist. Remember that while it is a privilege—or a duty, if you choose—to pay a. woman’ s fare on any local conveyance, it is her prerogative to pay for herself if she so desires. In a. restaurant, even though she be the host~' ess (and hence the person who pays) at: a. supper or theatre party, a check should never be presented to a lady. » It stands to reason that a woman never pays a man’s fare or his restaurant check when she is not formally his hostess. If by some mischance, a man’s billfold‘ has been mislaid or stolen and he dis- covers the loss, the lady (if he cannot avoid explaining his embarrassment) should slip the money to him, allowing him to pay. The woman hostess of a. party, however, who has engaged con-- veyances of any kind to carry her guests from one place to another (the transpor- tation thus being an incident of her in- vitation) always pays. Her husband or a male friend should attend to the de- tails (purchase the tickets, etc) but she should pay. This applies to a meal in a restaurant as well, under similar cir- cumstances. But to avoid embarrassment (especially where there are male guests) the dinner, luncheon or tea, tips, should be paid in advance. At a business luncheon. in which a man and a woman meet on a ”man to man" footing, as a convenience in discussing affairs, each usually pays his own check, unless the lady in question has accepted the appointment as an invitation. In any case, when it is simply a question of luncheon to the theatre matinee or musi- cals, football game or any other, the man pays as a matter of course.

The following will be a guide: quarts of cucumbers; 1 quart vinegar; 2 cups of 1 table- spoon of mustard or seed; 2 teaspoonful Vtumerlc. Wash cucumbers, put in salt water, cup to gallon, over night Drain, pack in quart jars, put vinegar on in kettle, :add sugar, or leave sugar out if you like. Let come to a boil. Fill jars and seal. Or another for larger cucum— bers, medium size: Slice two quarts of cucumbers. 2 onions in separate dishes using the above amounts or to taste but when vinegar is.hot put cucumbers and onions in and let come to a boil and seal being careful not to break as they should be cut thin. Ever-Ready or Quick Pickle.—-Still an- other to the busy farmer wife. Take one or two gallon crock. For a two gallon crock take two gallons vinegar, 1 cup of mustard, 1 cup salt, 2 cups sugar. Have crock clean and well scalded put liquid in and stir well. Wash cucumbers and add each day any size only those that are very large. Keep cloth on top with plate turned over. Keep pickle under vinegar always. They are something like dill but are better and always ready in a hurry and easy to put away. Set on cellar floor or in a cool place. Jelly—To make jelly this time of year take a. peck of red apples, quarter taking Wash having all clean. Put in steam kettle two quarts water. Cook un- Put in jelly bag and let drip over night. In the morning cook 1 quart half ripe grapes in pint of water mashing as they cook take juice and add to apple juice and measure. Put 011 to boil, when it starts to boil add sugar 97/4. cup to every cup of juice. Boil slowly If it thickens on spoon it is done. If you would like to change the color use any fruit juice such as plums, cherries or berry juice—Mrs. Z., Washtenaw County. Making Pickles.——Mrs. D., Alamo, Mich- igan, asks in September 11th issue 'of M. B. F. for a recipe for sweet small cu- cumber pickles and I am sending what I think the best and by far the easiest I haVe ever tried. Am also sending one for large cucumbers I think good. Both can be put up a little at a time if desired or as many. Saccharine Pickles.—Wash and pack in jars small cucumbers and cover with the following mixture without heating: 1 quart of cider vinegar, 1/4 cup ground mustard, 14 cup salt, {it teaspoon of sac- charine. 1 teaspoon of .mixed spice. Sliced Cucumber Pickle.——12 large cu- cumbers, 6 small onions slice thin and cover with 1 teacup of salt. Let stand two hours, drain and add 1 quart of vinegar, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon celery seed, 2 tablespoons mustard seed. Bring to a boil. can and seal.——Mrs. R. S. M., Benton Harbor, Michigan. Homespun Yarn Linoleum makes the kitchen floor easy to care for. A screened porch makes a. good out- door dining room. Long, plain fitting sleeves are becoming to a short stout figure. Hang pictures in a. child's room low enough to be at his eye level. To remove machine oil, wash the gar- ment with soap and cold water. A few pieces of charcoal placed in a tin cookie box will absorb moisture. Loose clothing with soft lines is always becoming to a slender person. Improper foodl prevents you from hav- ing a maximum amount of energy. To remove peach stain soak garment in glycerine, then wash with warm water.

You see. it happened this way. In judging the entries in our most recent “Read and Win" contest we found that first and second prizes had been won by boys. Yes, that is right—boys. It doesn’t seen possible but it’s the truth. Why the girls thought the boys just didn't dare to try for any of the best prizes, and here two of them step right in and take first and second before they know it. Having been a boy myself many, many years ago, naturally I was al- most tickled to pieces to learn that the male members of our circle broke into the spot-light and I am as proud as a peacock. Keep up the good work, boys. The girls are real experts at contests, but so are you if you try hard. The winners of the “mystery” prizes are: Arthur Fox, age 11, of Kewadin, who gets a Boy Scout jack- ‘ knife, as first prize; Edward W. Kra- ima, age 13, of Marion, gets a nice two-blade jackknife as second prize; and Hildegard Gohlke, age 15, of Ossineke, won a leatherette school bag in which to carry her books and pencils to and from school as third prize. Our joke contest is coming along very nicely and we are going to have some real funny ones to publish on our page. In the next issue I hope to announce the winners in that con- test and begin a new one of some kind. I havent exactly decided what our next contest will be about but I am working on it.—UNCLE NED. Our Boys and Girls My Dear Uncle Ned, I should be in bed, For it\ is very late, But writing is my fate. The Children’s Hour is partly mine, ”I‘is sure to make M. B. F. Shine. Our motto, “Do your Best” Will help you, God will do the rest. Our colors, ”Blue and Gold”, Are worth a thousand fold. Our button you may win, Maybe you’d call it a pin. You may have one if you choose, If intelligence you can use, They are very nice to keep. When you are old your pleasures reap. Now I know you cannot see So I’ll tell you about me. I weigh one hundred and twenty, I guess that is a plenty. I measure five foot five, For six feet I sure will strive, I have black hair. Sure it’sbobbed But for beauty, I was robbed. I’m the eldest in our family. Brothers four and sisters three. I live out on a farm And awake without alarm. I am fifteen years of age, I write poems page by page. I go to Coleman High School And do my best to obey each rule. I am President of the Junior Class. Not so bad for a little lass. I’ll give you a little hint.— May I see this in print. Now my letter I must close Before you bang me on the nose. Write to me both girls and boys For, letters are my greatest joys. Well, I think I’ve written enough So I’ll guit this silly stuff. I live near the river Salt, And my name is Anna Gault. -—Anna Gault, Coleman, Mich. Dear Uncle Nedz—I am writing. you to convince a. friend of mine that these let- ters are written by the boys and girls, so please print this letter to show this friend I am right.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have not written to you for so long that I think I had better-give my description.— I am sixteen years old the 20th of May, 1927. I am a freshman in Sault High School this an. I weigh ninety pounds, am five feet tall, bobbed hair, light complexion (except where I am tanned). When I wrote to you first I had long hair but I have had it bobbed. , , I have been working out since I last wrote you. I earned $3. 00 a week. I suppose you think that a. small wake, do you Uncle Ned? Maybe you worked for less when you were young. Now, I am picking blueberrieg, Uncle Ned. We have a Star Four touringrcar. Yes, Uncle Ned, I sure would like to have a. written story contest. I have never been in any of your contests yet. “Isn’t my Jack-o-lantern a. nice one?" I sure would like to write a story. I have so many subjects to write on I will have to decide on which one to take. I wish more. of the cousins would write to me. I am willing to answer. I have been keeping correspondence up with Thelma Harter of Paris, Michigan. Thel- ma. and I are. becoming great friends. But one thing I regret to say that Ma'r- garet of Charlevoix wrote to me and I lost the letter or something. I wish she would write to me again. If she reads this letter or maybe, Uncle Ned, you know her last name. If you do I would be very thankful to have it.— Blanche McCance, Box 19, Raber, Mich. -—Is it Margaret Piggott or Margaret Route 1‘, Charlevoix. Boss you are referring to?, Both live on The Right Answer A man who believed he knew all about parrots undertook to teach what he thought to be a young, mute bird to say “Hello!” repeated that word in a. clear voice for several minutes, the parrot pay- ing not the slightest attention. At the nal “Hello!” the bird opened one eye, gazed at the man, and snapped ‘out, “Line’s busy.” A Game to Play I ‘ HAND TAG HIS is a good game for young- people of school age, and should be played in a gymnasium or barn or some other suitable place It is like ordinary tag, except that anyone is safe who is hanging from a piece of gynasium apparatus, if the. game is played in a “gym"; or from a rafter or beam in a barn, or from the limb of a tree it it is played out- L doom as it may be in the summer «Anyone who has 111st ' time. be it 1 t , Imam (W) .--October started wet but lid: had few nice days.

WORK GAINING IN POPULARITY AIRYMEN of the United States are constantly placing more faith in the value of cow test-— ing association records. According to the United States Department of Agriculture there are now 844 of these associations operating in the United States, testing the herds of twenty thousand dairymen each month. More than three hundred and twenty-five thousand cows are regularly under test in these associag tions. ' The cow testing committee of the American Dairy Science Association has completed a set of uniform meth- ode to be used in the conduct of these organizations. Uniform rules now in use in al— most all states conducting cow test- ing association work have aided ma- terially in improving the work of the cow tester. Cow testers are dairy cow bookkeepers who are employed by groups of dairymen to give them more information about their cow business. It is the cow tester’s bus- iness to stop losses through poor cows. He also helps improve the rations fed cows and makes a care— ful study of the breeding value of dairy bulls used by his members. Great losses in time, effort. and money have been incurred in all dairy sections when no records of production are kept. The coming of the cow tester to the dairy farmer results in the stoppage of these loss- es. According to A. CyBaltzer, Dairy Department, Michigan State College, Chairman of the Committee, even greater profitable results are expect~ ed throughout the dairy sections’ of the, country through the continued applicatiOn of. cow testing methods. . -»1\liiichfavorable comment has origins j ..

Scripps, Detroit newspaper man, and they intend to retire from the farming business have been going about the state during the last few weeks. Stanley Powell, the son‘ in the firm, assures us that this rumor is false. ' , : - “We did sell around ninety head to Mr. Scripps,” he-said, “but this is far from all of our flock. Withi’the foundation stock we have left we" in- tend to build a better flock than we have ever had so far. And, of course that means that we are not going to quit farming.” ' " “BRINGING ‘IIOME THE BACON" WITH BERKLEY ROCK WHEAT (Continued from page 4) ‘ heads, while Berkeley Rock showed only 2 or 3 per cent of smutted heads, and, for all practical pur- poses, may be considered immune to this disease. ' Probably of even greater import- ance is it resistance to the loose smut, the“ disease which shows quite badly in most of our wheats at abOut the time they are heading out, and which can only be controlled by a difficult and inaccurate hot water treatment. For four years, inspect- ors for the Michigan Crop Impro’ve- ment Association have been locking over fields of Berkeley Rock, and for even longer periods the variety has been included in tests conducted by the Michigan State College and in no instance has therebeen an in- festation of the loose smut. Berkeley Rock Wheat prefers the heavier types of soils, where the nitrogen and organic matter avail— able makes possible the successful production of the harder types of red wheat. Its climatic range throughout Michigan is Wide. In addition to the high quality crop of Mr. Phillips, which yielded ‘30 bushels to the glare, G. P. Phillips a fellow Eaton county farmer, John Gidner of Pottersville, secured 37 bushels per acre, George Daniels of Bruce Crossing in Ontanogan county, of the far northern part of the Upper Peninsula, secured a yield of 38 bushels per acre, while LouisBlanke on the. heavy soils of Monroe county securedflsl bushels per acre. Brown Bras. of Ithaca, Fred Knox of Port- land and A. H. Perrine, near Jack- son, are other growers scattered throughout the state who have done well with the new Wheat.

There is no cure or preventative other than disinfection. Cattle do not swell at tle stifle joints with this trouble. mamas I have some pigs which are four maths old and they seem unable to stand right. They keep stepping tron one foot to the other on the hind legs and then sit down. They are on a cement floor but where they sleep is lots of bedding, and where I feed a mixture of cull beans, mangles and oat chop but have no milk for them. They seem to have flesh enough but the bones don't seem to develop right—Readers, Filson, Michigan. OUR pigs have rickets; better get them off the cement as soon as possible. Then get tankage and with each 100 lbs. add 15 lbs. of steaming bone meal; give these hogs 1,5 lb. per day with other grains. Maybe it would be best to mix 25 lbs. of tankage and bone meal with 100 lbs. each of middlings and ground oats and then give each pig about 2 or 3 lbs. of this mixture twice each day for a few days. Then you can feed a little lighter of the mixture. Milk would be very good it you had it. TOO MUCH COOKED FOOD Would you please tell me what ails our police puppies? They are Jive months old have about finned several little apple and peach trees by chewing them. They also will eat soft coal and charcoal from the ashes we throw out.

TO EXPERIMENT ON CORNLESS POULTRY RATION r‘l‘lHE fight against the European Corn Borer is not just in the front line trenches, it extends away back down the line. Now the Poultry Husbandry .Department of the Michigan State College is mak- ing plans to carry on extensive ex— periments during this winter to de— termine substitutes for corn in the poultry ration, if there are any. The experiments will be placed in charge of a graduate student. He will be given a flock of hens to feed and the eggs produced by these birds will be placed in incubators to study the effect of various feeds upon the hatchability of the eggs. In this re- spect the project will “kill two birds with one stone.” _ Prof. C. G. Card, head of the de— partment, recently outlined this pro- gram to members of the Michigan Poultry Improvement Association Who had suggested the College give some consideration to the relation— ship of poultry feeds to the hatcha— "bility; of eggs produced on different. rations. In the experiment hens of the» same parentage, breeding, age and- vigor will be used. Prof. Card pro‘ poses to divide the flock into pens. feeding one pen on a ration in which corn will be the basic element, while the other pens will receive limited. quantities of corn or none. As fares- possible the eggs will'be taken 'di- rectly from the laying houses to the incubators where the hatchabllity will be checked. Accurate records will bevkept on the cost of producing eggs by ea‘ch ration. At the‘completion of the- experlment Prof. Card hopes toha've data by which other grains can {be compared as substitutes for cor-h. The College proposes to start filling its incubators in December and Will operate them through the winter Zas well as the spring months. " EGG PRODUCTION IN CONTEST SHOWS GAIN " i. ENS in the fourth international egg laying contest at the Mich- igan State College have. been far more eflicient than birds in any of the three previous co'nteSts, ac- cording to the records to date. They have produced over 20,000 eggs more than a year ago, 33,000 more than two years ago, and 34,000 more than three years ago.

Washtenaw Club Boy State Champion COW which he purchased five years ago as a. calf started Francis E. Farrell, a 19—year— old boy living near Dexter, on the road to fame. Because of his out— standing achievements as a member of a. dairy calf club in Wastenaw county, Francis was declared by the Michigan State College of Agricult- ure the state’s chmapion boy in dairy calf club work this year and the win— ner of the Blue Valley Creamery In< stitute’s free to the 1926 National Dairy Exposition at Detroit. That Francis has earned the great- est honor which can come to a farm boy or girl in Michigan is shown by the enviable record he has made dur— ing the past year as a member of the Webster Dairy Calf Club, which was started under his leadership two years ago. By keeping a careful record of all milk and butterfat pro- duced and sold during the past five years this cow has been’in milk and the sale of a part of his cow’s prog» eny, he was provided with an income over feed cost of $621 after deduct- ing her original price. Francis is also an experincd showman and fit- ter. Two daughters of his cow both placed second in the club classes at the Washtenaw County Fair this year. A son of this cow also made a good show record during the past season by placing fifth in a strong' open class of fourteen bull calves at this sane fair and second in the club- class gt the Michigan State Fair. The proper care and feeding of the calf is the most essential in the development of a. monewmaking dairy cow, Francis declares. Unless they are fed well to make them grow rapidly and unless they are of good type and breeding, dairy cows cannot be expected to produce milk economically. Francis feeds his calves three times a day in order to make them grow well. A grain ra— tion cf 8 pounds of ground oats and ground corn, equal parts, with two pounds of oil meal, togethe: with all. the alfalfa hay and dry beet pulp they will clean up thoroughly eaCh day has given li‘ianvis splendid re— sults. He also provides them with liberal quantities of fresh water. In order to insure the development of a strong digestive system in his calves, he does not permit his young animals to go on pasture until they are a year old for the reason that they are likely to scour while on grass and individual care cannot be given them-when not in paddocks around the barn where they are read- ily accessible. ‘1€fV//17//////////fl7/////////////////{//V/l/K////(IllflI/l/Ill/////(/////////(///////////////////////////7/.Vl/ll/llll/l/Il//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////7////////////////////////////////////////fiV////)/)/// - ’ ©etroit§ Newest Hotel ‘ 750 for always. leelm/qy « Every Convex.--.-.ce _ and Comfort At Moderate Rates :In the new Savoy, in Detroit, you are offered the ‘very best, of hotel accommodation at rates which Wlll surprise and delight you because of their extreme reason- ableness.

Particu- larly he mentions that often there is considerable growth left on some pasture land and meadows, which, if out and made into hay would turn— ish some feed; when if left on the “fields it is wasted. Seems to think this loss is serious. He is wrong. the trouble is, we don’t leave enough growth on our meadows and past- ured land during the winter. The more growth the better. Often it is false economy to cut this late growth. It generally makes poor hay, and it has been proven this late pasture is not as valuable as pasture early in the season. This growth, when left on the field causes the pasture . to be earlier and more abundant. . A pasture field which goes into the winter with no growth whatever on it, will make a poor pasture the next year. BROADSOOPE 0 II t Cement One of our neighbors has a barn yard all under cover. It contains a place for '20 acres of straw, water tanks, manure piles, etc., and what a blessing it is during such a rainy time. During the winter his cows can have a place in which to eXercise and are not exposed to the wintery weather. ; ~ Such a covered yard would cost considerable to build. but I believe it would be worth all it cost and then some, and, if satisfaction is worth anything, it would pay for it- self in about a week right now.

DetIOit, MiChO ' \ {its recent announcement of a general farm price level of 134 4'5 ' per cent on the basis of pre-war ”j prices for the last of September, the gh‘l‘ower farm prices of practiCally all farm crops from August 15 to Sep- . .tember 15 were offset by increases in meat animals, dairy and poultry pro— ducts. Farmers who stick to meat animals, dairy and poultry products usually have no regrets after follow- ing such a course for along period. N w ,Wheat Market Getting prices for the new wheat crop placed on a permanently higher level has been a difficult task for the bulls on' the Chicago Board of Trade ever since farmers started to sell, and after fair upturns take place, placing prices about where they stood at this time last year, they are pretty sure to go lower on active selling by the speculators. Turning backward about two years, it is re- called that at that period wheat for December delivery was selling around $1.52, which was called a very good price, while a year ago it sold for $1.43. Of course, the good increase in the crop over last year is a bearish factor in making quota- tions, and lack of ocean tonnage and prohibitory rates of freight stand in the way of exports of breadstufts from the United States and Canada. There is a fair domestic consumption of wheat going on, but stocks have accumulated until the visible supply in this country is up to 74,834,000 bushels, comparing with 49,878,000 bushels a year ago. Exports of wheat and flour from this country from July 1 to October 9 aggregate 96,- 340,000 bushels as given by the de- partment of commerce. This is nearly one—half of the estimated ex- portatable surplus. Farmers Selling Old Corn May corn sold in the Chicago mar- ket recently at the lowest price of the season, but was still higher than a year ago, but a little more than two years ago December corn was selling at $1.14. Despite the i the farmers have much old corn on hand, and they have marketed it so freely that the visible supply i'l the United States a short time ago ag- gregated 17,074,000 bushels, com- paring with only 3,897,000 bushels a year earlier. Rye prices are as much as 18 cents higher than a year , ago, owing to the short crop, and cats are several cents higher than at " that time, with much damaged wet oats, and No. 2 white oats selling at a good premium. Watch the Pigs The warnings issued by the feder- al government to farmers to beware of hog cholera were timely, for many outbreaks had been reported in vari- ous quarters, and it was important to be on the watch constantly. This is the season of the year when hog ~cholera is especialy prevalent, and recent outbreaks were chiefly in the central west. Shortly before the fed— eral warning President Brown of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange sent out a report in which he stated that it looked as though the hog crop would be cut 10 to 15 per- cent be- cause of the failure to vaccinate, al— though it costs on the farm only about 50 cents for each pig. Vacci- nation when the pigs are shipped from the terminal market costs '9 around $1 and is compulsory. Cheap ‘ corn and high-priced hogs have furn- ished the farmers good profits, and every precaution should be used to ‘- keep the pigs healthy. Most of the big packing sows have been market- , ed, and in all probability young hogs ~ will continue to be held longer than formerly, the greatest farm profits ,roming from hogs. The hog short- 7‘age means high prices, and despite high prices the consumption of fresh and cured hog products is very large ‘& 11 the time. In fact, much of the flare the receipts of. ,hogsaare not ‘ 0:? in excess of the daily fresh requirements. , fl ~"_Department of Agriculture says that reported short and damaged crop,’ ' hm a Stockmen Rushing cattle to Market * V "' Heavy Receipts Cause Many Price Declines By W. w. room.

WHEAT The Detroit wheat market was dull on the closing day of last week but previous to that it was fairly steady. Weather is having a lot ”to do with the trend of the market at present as much of the grain in Ar— gentina and Canada is in a position where early snow would cauSe ser- ious loss. Some are inclined to feel that this damage would have to be M. B. F. MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO VERY evening, except Saturday and Sunday. at 7:05 o’clock, eastern standard time, The Michigan Business Farmer broadcasts market information and news station VVGHP of Detroit. This of 270 meters. of interest to farmers through raido station operates on a wave length points have ran much ahead of last year. One result of the year’s ex— perience is seen in the demand fer better grades of stockers and feeders to ship to feeding districts. For the year to late date the combined re- ceipts of cattle in seven western packing points amount to 8,792,000 head, comparing with 8,473,000 a year ago. Recent sales were made in the Chicago market of beef steers at $7.75 to $8.75 for common light weights up to $11.50 to $12.50 for the better class of yearlings, the best long—fed\heavy cattle going for $11 to $12, and the bulk of the steers at $9.50 to $11.50. A year ago steers sold at $17 to $16 and 15 years ago at $4.40 to $9.15. For stockers and feeders country buyers are paying $5 to $8, mainly $6.50 to $" 75. with stock and feeder cows and heifers at $4.50 to $6.25. "Active buying a short time ago of this class of thin cattle put them up 35 to 40 cents. High Prices For Hogs Prices fluctuate a good deal, es- pecially for the less desirable lots, but the Chicago market continues far higher than in most former years, due to the great shortage in all. hog districts, the late top being $14 for heavy packing lots and sales as low as $9.75 for poor hogs. A year ago hogs were selling at $9.10 to $11.85, pretty severe to cause any change in prices, others hold the opposite opinion. The crop report for the state, dated Oct. 12', gives an estimate of 82,000 bushels produced this year compared with 90,000 last year. On October lst it was believed that about 36 per ecnt of Michigan’s 1920 crop had left the hands of the farmer. CORN In spite of the many reports that there will be lots of soft corn ‘this fall there seems to be little demand developing for the good quality corn. Early frost got some corn but most of it reached maturity we are in- formed. Silo filling has been de— layed very much this fall because of rains. Michigan’s 1926 crop is esti— mated at 51,868,000 bushels, or about 14,000,000 less than one year ago. OATS Oats were damaged somewhat by rain this year, which left them dis- colored, also they are light in weight. . The yield averaged 33 bushels to the acre, and the total 1926 crop for this state is estimated by the officials as 56,001,000 ‘bushels. Demand is fair with prices firm.

Mack, the widely known poultry advisor, is the first to ever offer a premium for hens that won't lay satisfactorily after using his simple system. Mr. Mack, whose advice has been fol- lowed successfully by thousands, recent- ly made the following statement: “I be- lieve that any poultry raiser can double or triple his egg yield within one week by' following my simple system and add- ing Certain elements to the feed or water. In fact I am so sure of it you can tell the public I will send full instructions and a package of ingredients, usually sufficient to get at least 600 eggs, to anyone who will write me." Poultry raisers who want many times more eggs need not send any money but merely name and address to Dept. 829, the Mack Company, 206 New England budding, Kansas City, Mo. Full instruc- tions and package of ingredients will be sent. by return collect on deliyery mail for only $1 and postage. If at the end of o e week you are not getting at least t :He as many eggs, or if not satisfied for any reason, Mr. Mack will not only return the purchase price on request, but, will also pay you an extra quarter for your trouble.
