WILSON The Montcalm county farmer who was acquitted for protecting his property with firearms. UESDAY morning, March 22, 1927, an epoch making day in the history of agriculture in Michigan, dawned bright and fair over the little city of Stanton, the county seat of Montcalm county, where L. J. Wilson—the man whose rifle shot was heard all Over Michi- gan—was to be tried for man— slaughter for protecting his property against chicken thieves on the night of November 24, 1926. Long before the hour of the, trial farmers for miles around were ‘driv— ing into Stanton and many came from throughout the state. As early as seven o’clock in the morning the choice seats in the court room were selected and one hour before the trial not a vacant seat could be found. Folks were sitting on the window sills and camp chairs Were beingbrought in filling’ up the aisles. When the trial finally opened even the corridors were crowded and the doors of the court room were left open so those standing in the halls might hear the case. Babies in their mothers’ arms were there in numbers, fathers and mothers came with their sons and daughters, mere boys and girls were there, who for years to come will re- late the incidents of the great trial, and grandfathers and grandmothers were 'there as well to learn whether or not their sons could still protect their property as they themselves had been able to do in the pioneer days. The great crowd was made up of hardy sons of the soil, many coming in their working clothes, while others were dressed up in gala day fashion. One viewing this great multitude of farmers could not help but feel the importance and serious— ness of the occasion to these farmers for here was to be answered, the question—~perhaps for all time—~as to whether or not a farmer was still lord of his own castle, whether it ‘would be safe for him to go on rais— ing chickens and other produce that could easily be carried away or must he surrender and peacefully watch the preying thieves carry away his property. ‘ . They were there also to rally to the aid of one of their folks for truly L. J. Wilson stood as the per- sonification of every farmer in Mich- igan. He was their own and they L. J. Wilson had done nothing but what every red— blooded farmer would have done under like circumstances—he was ; the farmers’ hero and, they were there to see him vindicated. - " The Trial, Opens _, Prosecuting Attorney .

TWenty—one men were called before twelve were finally selected. Sophus Johnson, one of Wilson’s attorneys, challenged the jury in Wilson’s behalf. Attorney Johnson had come from Grand Rapids to help his school boy friend in his hour of trial. Prosecutor Brake in stating the case to the jury said the facts in the case were such that a trial by jury was necessary to settle the case. He pointed out that Wilson was charged with manslaughter and that the case was not one of the defense of prop— erty for when Wilson discovered Ted Sixbury running away from his chicken coop without any chickens on his person the 'question of de— fense of property was not involved. According to Prosecutor Brake the question was whether Wilson was trying to make an arrest and if so could he not have made such an ar— rest without shooting the .man. Defense Attorney C. B. ‘Rarden called Dr. Weaver of Greenville as his first witness. Dr. Weaver testi— fied that he was called to the Green— ville Hospital about one o’clock on last Thanksgiving morning and there found Ted Sixbury in a condition of l ; SATURDAY, APRIL 9, .1927 800 Spectators Approve Decision of Jury After 10 Minutes Deliberation By ROBERT J. McCOLGAN came home Telfor told him Ted had been there looking for him and Harry said, “Well, let’s go over and see what he wants." Telfor and Harry went over to Ted’s home and it was there proposed that they have a chicken dinner at midnight. Mrs. Ted Sixbury had retired and was asked to get up and go over to Har— ry’s house for a feed. She did so and on the way back they picked up another girl, Pearl Marsh, and they all went over to Harry’s home. There was some discussion at Harry’s home as to who was to furnish the chick— ens, Ted insisting that he would do so. This was agreed to, and Ted, Harry and Telfor left for the home of Rasty Peterson, 3. brother—in-law of Ted’s, where it was said that Ted got out ofthe car and was in Rasty’s house a few minutes. When he re—. turned to the car he dropped a key on the running board. Ted remarked that everything was all right and told Harry to drive over to L. J.’s, meaning Wilson’s home. They drove past the Wilson home on past the driveway and .slowed the car up below the barn and Harry turned the lights from bright to dim. Ted and Telfor alighting from the car sneaked around behind the barn up to the Wilson chicken coop. Ted, ATTORNEYS’ FEES TAKE $400 0F $856.70 IN FUND “ F'ann in need is a friend indeed.“ \thn L. J. Wilson needed friends he found that he had many of them—friends who gladly spent time and money in his behalf. Our announcement that. we were startling an L. J.

He said Sixbury had been drinking and that it was impossible for him to state just what finally caused Sixbury’s death and he was quite positive that the shot fired by Wilson had not been the sole cause of death. He explained where Sixbury was wounded, the bullet entering the body on the right side a little to the front of the right hip pocket, coming out on the left side of the body in a downward di— rection. He stated that the bullet had not been in the path of vital organs which would cause immediate death. Dr. Weaver did not waver during cross examination by Prose- cutor Brake. William Telfor Called William Telfor was called by the State as their star witness but he Iproved equally as good for the de- fense. Telfor is the man. who was convicted along- with Harry Sixbury for attempted burglary in connec— tion with stealing Mr. Wilson’s chickens. Telfor testified that on the evening of November 24, 1926 he met his girl friend and while he was getting a hair cut and shave had her go and purchase a couple of chickens for Thanksgiving dinner to be given at the home of Harry Six- bury. After. having supper together 5 ’ they went over ,to' Harry Sixhury’s ‘ ~ home. ‘« \Harryém-Pent uptown; .While he was gone we 6 Subury came over . “looking ' ' tar his brother while attempting to unlock the lock, seemed to have some trouble and Telfor asked him if he wanted to light a match and Ted said no, not to light a match but to watch the house. At this point Mr. Wilson and his son, Ralph, came running from the house and Ted said, “Come on, let’s beat it.” Ted started to run but Telfor stood still. L. J. Wilson shouted, “What are you doing around that chicken coop?” He then shouted, “Halt, stop or I’ll shoot.” He repeated this two or three times but Ted Sixbury kept on running, Wilson in pursuit. Wilson partly raised his gun and fired. Sixbury did not stop running until Wilson finally caught him and after a tussle he was finally thrown to the ground. Telfor said that after Wilson had shot that he yelled for him not to shoot again as the man was a friend of his and the head of a family. Telfor continued his testimony stat— ing that Wilson did not know who the man was even after he captured Entered as 2nd. class matter, Aug. 2 at Mt.

I wouldn‘t have had it happen for one hundred dollars—~yes, hundred dollars.” five Upon cross exam- ination Telfor stated that neither he nor Ted Sixbury were armed and that neither he nor Ted had gotten any chickens out of Wilson’s coop. Sixbury Drunk The next witness was Sheriff Walter Bopp. he had been called to the home of L. J. Wilson about on the night of November When he arrived Mr. Wilson and Ted Sixbury in a. field south of the Wilson barn. He found Sixbury in a state of intoxi- cation and they carried him into the Wilson home. bury were then arrested. the hospital as he was complaining that his knee hurt him. ried from the house and placed in Bopp’s car and Bopp noticed some eleven—thirty . 24th. there he found!

After arriv- ing at the hospital he related how} he helped a nurse undress Sixbury' and told of seeing the wound and. the position the bullet entered the body. " Edward Bopp and Harold Inger- soll, home both testified that they had seen Ted \Sixbury on the night in question and that in their judgment he was very drunk. Deputy Sheriff Irving Forrest tes- tified that Wilson had stated at the. intend to hearing that he didn’t shoot Sixbury and that he was very‘ sorry that the pened. At this time court was adjourned whole thing hap— for the noon recess of one hour. The; judge, jury, lawyers, and court at- tendants together with newspaper men were the only ones to leave the court room. The spectators, most of whom had brought lunches, de— cided that seats were too valuable to give up. John W. Nickerson, Justice of the Peace at Stanton, was the first wit—; ness called after dinner. He testi-} fied that at the original hearing Wilfl son had stated “I am sorry this oc—l curred. I had no intention to kill.' I shot to wing the man and I felt I had a right to do so.” At this point Attorney Rarden, for, the defense, asked the court for a directed verdict but Judge Hawley refused to grant it on the ground: that a felony had been committed at the Wilson home on the night of! November 24 and it was a question for the jury to decide whether Mr.‘ Wilson was attempting to make an. arrest of Sixbury and whether he committed the act in anger or re-‘l venge and in so doing whether orj not he committed an unlawful act by,; shooting.

Senators chad striken. ly, but they grind exceedingly small.” So goes the old say- ing of which I am reminded byde- velopments down here in the Legis- _ «lature. Progress of bills in which Michigan farmers are most interested has beenata snail’s pace, but I am glad to report that it is not entirely imperceptible. In fact in the two weeks which roll around between is- sues of THE BUSINESS FABMEB there are altogether too many develop— ments to chronicle fully in this brief summary. ' t' Your guess is as good as mine to what will finally be done regard- ing gas and weight tax amendments. I would feel pretty safe in betting that this problem will drag along unsolved and nothing he done' about it and then next fall we might look for a special session of the Legislat- ure to take action along this line. Governor Green maintains that, he isn’t going to dictate details or meth- ods, but he will be earnestly insis- tent that no changes be adopted which would reduce the State’s high- way revenue. Nothing of that sort is in prospect. The other night a little dinner party was held at one of the down- town hotels attended by Governor Green, members of the Highway Committee of the State Administra- tive Board, the Highway Commit- tee of the Senate and the Roads and Bridges Committee of the House. Out of this pow wow came the rumor that an agreement had been reached providing for a 3 cent gas tax with no change in the present annual weight tax on motor vehicles, except that 50 per cent of the weight tax revenue would be returned to the counties. This would “involve a slight increase over the fixed amount of six million dollars ‘which the counties now receive from the State highway funds. . Senator Geo. Leland of Fennville has annouced that he is preparing and will shortly introduce a bill em- bodying these provisions. Senators and representatives from the rural dstricts can’t seem to see how their farmer constituents could be expected to be very enthusiastic in favor of such a plan which pro- poses to increase the gas tax without making any corresponding reduction in the weight tax or doing away with the annual license plate nuisance. Just what rights a farmer should have in the defense of his property and what penalties should be im- posed on trespassers and chicken thieves have been disputed in both the Senate and the House. Chicken Thief Bills As reported in thes columns some time ago, the House passed the Hall and Huff bills aimed at chicken thieves and sent them to the Senate. The Hall bill, which was intended to aid in the capture and conviction of poultry thieves, seems to be lodged in the Senate Committee on Agriculture. The Huff bill propos- ing very definite and discouraging penalties for chicken thieves was finally advanced to third reading in the Senate only to be sidetracked into the Senate Committee on Judi- ciary on motion of Senator Howard F. Baxter of Grand Rapids who seemed to feel that the penalties specified were too severe. , If the Senators had the facts as to the tremendous quantities of poul- try which have been stolen in Mich- igan during the past few years and if they would realize how unani- mously despised and cordially hated chicken thieves are in rural com- munities, they would not hesitate to pass any reasonable bill intended to curb this offense. Several of the Senators almost literally “threw a fit” when Sen. Horton’s bill, relative to trespassers on improved and enclosed lands, come up for final passage. They slaughtered the bill by taking out most of its important provisions. Sen. Tom Read of Shelby delivered a tirade against what he termed “half-baked, absurd, criminal re- form.“ Senator Horton stood up for his measure and said he merely wanted to put property on the farm on the same basis as property, in the city. Before they got through [with w. c. i 7, .- {9‘1th “ HE mills or the GOds grind slwa- 5 and removed" the ' provision which ‘ would have given the farmer author-v ity to enforce this law on his own land. - , ' 'Hors'e-playuwas injected into. the. procedure ‘when, Sen. Herbert J. Rushton' of Escansba offered; an amendment to exempt the Upper Peninsula from the operation of the bill. After this had been lost by a vote of 10 to _18, Sen. Arthur E. Wood of Detroit tried to exempt the Lower Peninsula, but this was. de- feated 5 to 25. What was left”of the bill was passed 24 to 6. 0n the afternoon following that on which the Senators tore the Hor- ton bill to shreds, the House ap- proved Rep. David Brake’s bill which is somewhat similar in» pur— pose. It would prohibit hunting on farm lands or farm wood—lots con- nected therewith Without the “writ- ten” consent of the owner ‘or lessee of such property unless the require- ment for “writteen” permission was . waived by the farmer. Raise Their Own Pay The members of the House of Representatives .took a somewhat lefthanded means of raising their own pay_when they amended the regular appropriation for the Leg- islature by embodying a suggestion by Rep. Milton R. Palmer of Detroit that the lawmakers be allowed $5.00 a day for expenses. The constitu- tion sets the pay of members of the Senate and the House at $800.00 per two—year term. The Legislature is usually in session about 120 days so that the $5.00 a day expense 3.]- lowance would mean about $600 per Session additional to each member. The appropriation bill as amended was bitterly attacked, but finally passed by a vote of 76 to 18. How- ever, the Representatives had better not start counting on this money very seriously because the Senate has not yet taken kindly to the idea and even if they Should finally do so, the Governor might veto the bill, and even if the Governor should Sign ~ it, it is quite probable that the Supreme Court might declare it un- constitutional. The rural and city Representatives were divided quite noticeably over a bill. by Rep. Wm. J. Thomas of Grand Rapids to replace the State Tax Department with a State Tax C o 111 mi 3 s i o 11. Wayne members seemed to fear that if the bill were passed, Mr. George Lord, present chairman of the tax commissioners, might lose his job and Wayne might suffer in the future equalizations of property for State tax purposes. The bill was adopted 63 to 30. The Senate Committee on Agri— culture reported out the appropria— tion bill for the State Department of Agriculture without making any in— crease in the amount to be appropri- ated for State bdemnities on slaugh— tered tubercular cattle. At hearings on this matter, attended by a large . delegation of dairymen, it was pointed out that a. milk ordinance has been passed by the city of De- troit to become effective January 1, 1928, which provides that after that date only milk from clean herds can be marketed in Detroit. This means that unless dairymen in the Detroit milk market area are to be deprived of their market, these counties in southeastern Michigan must be cleaned up this summer and fall. If no increase is made in the regular budget appropriation for Senate in- demnities, it is doubtful if all or these counties can be cleaned up before the Detroit milk ban goes into effect, even though the work should be entirely stopped in the rest of the State where it is now in pro- gress and the counties now on the waiting list be disappointed for an- other year. ‘ Not only is the eradication of bo- vine tuberculosis an important issue before the lsmnakers, but they are devoting a great deal of attention to the care of the State's tubercular pecgle.

A typi-‘ cal letter denoting this is one from R. P.,-Greenville. “What kind of seeding would be best in a ten acre rye field which I intend to pasture after I cut the rye? The soil is a good grade of soil, but not clay.” R. P. has a rather perplexing problem W h e n he e x p e c t s to sow some grass seed in the rye and have the grass for pasture after harvesting the rye. For many years we grew a field of rye, and in the beginning, seasons were favorable enough so we always had a catch of seeding. After a time, our seeding in rye always was a failure or nearly so, and we have cut out the rye crop on this account. Rye starts up so fast in the spring it does not give the grass a fair chance, and unless the season is unusually favorable, the seeding is puny and small, and generally gives up the battle with the rye, and quits. It is pretty certain red clover will not answer in R. P.’s case. If we had to pasture this rye field after harvest, here is the way we would handle it: We would test the soil for lime; if it needed lime we would sow it just as soon as we could. Then with a disk drill We would sow eight or ten pounds of scarified sweet clover 'per acre on it. The seed should be inoculated. If we had no disk drill, we would use a spring tooth harrow for dragging the seed in. Then when the rye was’ahout four inches high, we would turn’in thestock and pasture it for ten days or so. This would keep the rye from getting too large for the clover, and it would not hurt the clover at all, and considerable pasture would be gained. The field should not be pas- tured while too wet. After harvest, L. W. MEERS Farm News Edited by L. W. MEEKS, Hillsdale County (lien eo lo write for Mr. Meeiu' advice on different roblem's ' y p of his wide experience without charge. fad “dcahr: lg! “31‘” glad to a," will receive a personal reply by early mail It you are a paid-up subscriber.) recs him 8. F. and you if the season is normal, the sweet clover will soon be large enough to pasture. ,, * ,,, Alfalfa Inoculation “Does inoculation of alfalfa seed» give security for a good 'stand of al- falfa, if there never wasalfalfa raised on this particular field? If inoculation doesn’t, would you recommend to sow this year red cloverseed (which is growing fine) and just mix some alfalfa seed in, and seed alfalfa'alone in the years to come? Do you advise to sow alfalfa seed broadcast in winter wheat? Is it~necessary to harrow the seedin? Could the seed be seeded with a grain drill with grass seeder attachment, or would this hurt the wheat too much?”— R. S., Pentwater, Mich. No; inoculation of alfalfa seed. is' no guarantee the alfalfa seed will prove a success. There are other things to consider, which are more important, besides inoculation. I have seen alfalfa growing fine on one side of the road, while the fields across the road with same soil seem- ingly, would not grow alfalfa. Test your field for sourness. If sour, sow lime. If you are determined to get a stand of grass on the field, and doubtful about alfalfa, sow the al- falfa and add a reasonable mount of clover to it. We have a field on which we sowed lime last spring, and seeded alfalfa in the cats we sowed“ The alfalfa failed and the field was plowed and sown to wheat last fall, with two hundred (200) pounds of high grade fertilizer per acre. We will sow inoculated. alfalfa in the wheat this spring with a disk drill. The drill will not hurt the wheat in the least. If you have no disk drill, harrow the seed in with a. spring tooth running rather lightly. It cer— tainly is good practice to add some alfalfa to the cloverseed when seed- ing a field to clover.

War is declared on the Borer OWER and machines must hold the front line trenches against the Euro' pean corn borer which is threatening the corn belt. The prime, objective is to kill the borer or rid the fields of the stalks that harbor the borer. Pulverizing the stubble or turning it under by super’ clean plowing, turning the corn into ensilage for the silo or into shredded fodder, low cutting with a special attachment for corn binders are among the practices recommended by the authorities.

Jesus Christ from the dead.” . “Aim at what is above.” ' Always, this is the direction of the resurrec- tion life. This tears us awaydrom selfish interests to, engage in the busi- ' I ness of the King. This gives one‘ that hath ears to understand the com- mand, “Follow me.” Just this weaned the disciples away from their nets and fish. And itwill yet wean others away from their nets of social ease, of business co‘vetousness, and of animal pleasures. Whatever your brand of belief, know this: Loyalty to Christ is to follow Him. Jesus ' had those in his company of differing sorts of belief, but no matter, as long as they were following Him, they" were aiming high. Essential religion is evermore an earnest striving to know which way Jesus went, a con- science true to our findings, and a will powerful enuf to keep us walk- ing in the Jesus way. This is the result of -being raised with Christ. O‘yes, it may lead you into hard places and obscure regions. But this is a distinctive glory of Christianity. It puts one into dark and unaccustomed places as a light- holder of Him who “lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Jesus was but an obscure peasant once, but now He is our Resurrected Ideal of spiritual light and beauty. “Aim at what is above where Christ 1s." “Mind what is above, not what is on earth.” “Arrived Garkide." This is a recent message a young doctor sent to his American mission board, from Africa. He could have remain- ed here and had an income of thou- sands, but .he went’ to Africa on a support of a few hundreds. His mind turned to things above. He aimed high. A monk desired to set his mind on things above, so he climbed high the cathedral tower and cried, “O Lord, where art thou?” And below from the street came the voice, “Here am I.” Paradoxically, to set one’s mind on things above, is to have it on the welfare of men be- low. It is to get underneath them with the lever of love and lift them up to their resurrection status in Christ. This is basic religion and meant to renew the minds of men in the highest things of life. The Pauline gospel makes the re- newing of the mind the lofty source from which flows the stream of Christian conduct. It is plain Eng- lish for stating the doctrine that transformation of character depends on setting the mind on aims trued to the Truth. Shutting the mind out from the world and shutting it in with Christ in prayer, meditation, _ and neighborly service, gives the life ballast. It is here we cultivate aim and poise to follow in The Way. It is here we die and here we are raised with Christ “who is our life." What kind of life? A life that is “hidden.” But that is not so strange. All life is hidden. I look out of doors and see the trees swaying in the wind. I know there is life with- out, but I cannot see it. I only see the manifestations. Thelife is hid- den. I know there is life in' the many-hued potted plants at my study window, but I cannot see it. It is hidden. So it is with the spiritual life of the soul. It is a hidden thing. It is bound up with things not seen. And the Spirit of Christ is there to .nurture it. No more could Nico— demus understand this, than he could understand the source and sound of the wind. Nor can we. Sunbeams and electricity are mighty forces, but unseen. There is no telling how much spiritual power is flowing from the backwoods preacher, from the quiet Christian farmer, or from the lowly mother as over the cradle she croons her Christian lullaby. These all are quite unnoticed by the world, but they are aiming high. They are getting a footing Overthere. They are proving the resurrection hope. BEAMER BEADS ELEVATOR EXCHANGE LMER A.

Prac- tically however we do not think that the judge in the case can do much. He can only follow the law, as he is sworn to do. In the individual case of Wilson a pardon is the best rem- ' edy if he is convicted. . ' However the case of this shooting of a thief is a good one to_ bring the matter before the public. ‘ The fun- damental trouble is with our laws and our‘popular sympathies. We are too “mushy gushy” about the crim- inal class. Too much sympathy and not enough horse sense. The case of the repeal of the death penalty in Michigan is in point. Isn’t it about time that we stop reversing the law of the survival of the fittest, and instead of nurturing and carefully preserving the crim- inal, the subnormal, the degenerate, and burdening the capable, the hon- est and the thrifty in their support that we bring out the surgeon’s knife and the chloroform bottle? Why bur- den and tax and sacrifice the honest and able and fit to perpetuate and foster the criminal and the unfit? The brains and the brawn of our young people, the physically and the mentally fit, are constantly drafted into the professions, into business, or are drafted into armies to fight their country’s battles. The physi- cally and mentally unfit, the morally degenerate and the cowards get busy and breed more crooks, crimin- als and morons. Now that sounds a bit like knock- ing doesn’t it? But isn’t there more than a grain of truth along with the vinegar? Isn’t modern society re— versing the law of the survival of the fittest? And isn’t this instance of prosecuting a man for shooting a chicken thief just one outcropping of a situation? \ Well here is good luck to Wilson, and appreciation of the good work of THE MICHIGAN BUsINEss FARMER. —-J.

He is going to make his summer home in the west where he will have an oppor- tunity - to become acquainted with the real farmers of our nation. Several states have in- vited him to spend the summer within their bor- ders and we were in hopes that he would look with favor upon Michigan but according to press report‘s he finally decided on Wisconsin. Some of our presidents have been criticised because they traveled about the country consid- erably. Seldom was this criticism justified be- cause the head of any nation must travel among his countrymen if he is to act on national and international problems in a way that will satisfy the majority. If he lives all of the time in one section he gets to see everything with the eyes of that section. Not long, ago the Editor was talking with Mrs. Dora M. Stockman, State Grange Lecturer, and Mr. A. B. Cook, former master of the Grange, and they declared the reason that the farmer does not receive much attention from the govern- ment is that the capital of our nation is located in the wrong place it is located in the industrial part of the country. Their suggestion was that the capital should be in Indiana, and Mr. Cook said in his opinion the farmers could well afford to stand all of the expense of the move because of the different view the government would get of matters / THANK YOU, FOLKS ' E want to publicly thank the good folks wh responded to the call for funds to 'help Mr. L. J. Wilson fight his case. He is not an extremely poor man. perhaps the expense would not have caused him great financial embarrass- ment, but we believed that he was fighting‘ a fight for Michigan agriculture—yes, the agri- culture of the entire country-hand he should not be obliged to bear the financial as well as the physical and mental burden. So many folks agreed with us that we have received $856.70 which is in the Citizens Savings Bank of Mt. Clemens in an account known as the L. J. W112 son Defense Fund. Checks drawn on it must be signed by the cashier of that bank and the Editor of “THE anINEss FABMER. Within a few days of the time this is written two checks will be drawn. One for $300 to C. B. Rarden, leading attorney for Mr. Wilson, which covers his services in full. The other check ‘will be to the amount of $100, drawn to Sophus Johnson, another Wilson attor- ney, to pay for his services in connection with the trial. This takes $400 from our fund, leaving $456.70 which is to remain in the bank until it is needed to defend any other farmer who may be brought to trial on similar offense, or any other case which in the opinion ofthe Editor of M. B. F. is as deserving of our support. Again we thank you in the behalf of Michigan agriculture, in Mr. Wilson’s behalf, in our own behalf, and we hope you will keep us posted on conditions in your community. We want to know of any cases similar to Mr. Wilson’s or cases where farmers are shouldering the cause of many, so that we can help. MIGHIGAN’S OIL WELLS NUMBER of successful oil wells have been drilled in Michigan and no doubt there will be many more of them inside of the next few years. So far most of these wells are in the Saginaw valley, but experts declare there is every reason to believe that more productive wells will be sunk in other sections of the State. How much oil there is under Michigan soil and rock no one can tell. Experts are inclined to think there is considerable, that Michigan may eventually become a big oil producing state, but they believe that it will never become a second Oklahoma, nor will the oil game rank as one of the leading industries of the State. Many farmers have written us for advice on signing oil leases. Upon reading the leases sent in we foundkmost of them to be the “dollar down" kind which appear in every section after oil is discovered, or even if there is an idea that oil can be found, and it binds the farm owner'for a year or two for the huge sum of one dollar. A well is supposed to be started in the community - E _ Y. , _ the start"-- i .. ~ " ' . There is oil in Michigan and in'paying quanth‘ ties, perhaps under your own property,,'but you f should not become excited about it. Do not get” over anxious to sign any, leases or rent 'or buy. more land than you can. handle thinking that a: you are going to become rich over night from an oil well. Results may be the opposite. FARMER CAN PROTEUI‘ PROPERTY HICKEN thieves, beware! The farmers now know that they can nse firearms to protect their property, so when you steal from them you are taking the same chances you do if you rob a bank or store. That is the information that the chicken thieves in Michigan got from the L. J. Wilson trial at Stanton on March 22nd. Many of them ‘ read it and perhaps a few attended the trial to get the information first hand, but regardless of how it came to them, they have'had their warn- ing. The court has heard the case of a farmer accused of manslaughter because he shot a thief he discovered at his chicken coop, and the jury has declared him “Not guilty!" Let it be a les- son to thieves. . No man should shoot to kill a thief but he should have the right to injure him so that he can make an arrest if necessary to defend his property. Letters we have received indicate that many of these thieves carry firearms and threaten the lives of the property owners 'when they try to interfere with their thieving operations. Sev- eral have been injured by these‘thieves. Certain- ly the owner of the property should be as well prepared to argue as the thief taking it. It has always been understood that the city man did have the right and now the outcome of the Wilson case indicates that a farmer also has it, that he is justified in using firearms if neces- sary to protect his property. But deliberate murder even at such a time is not excusable. If Mr. Wilson had shot with the intent to kill he would be behind prison bars today instead of doing his spring work, and we would be among the first to urge that he be put there. He shot to wing the man that he might make an arrest only after he had commanded several times that he halt. He was justified in doing that and if the man had tried to shoot him he would have had the rig-ht to defend himself. Keep these facts in mind if you ever meet up with a chicken thief in your coop. FIGHT THE CORN BORER cannot hope to. wipe out the European corn borer no matter how hard we fight but he can force us to discontinue growing corn if we do not fight him, and fight hard right now. By doing everything that it is humanly possible to do we can only hope to . keep down the corn borer popula- in this country. We are inclined to endorse their idea as to the loca- tion of the capital and believe that the farmer would get a far differ— ent reception than he does at pres- ent, but we shy at the farmer pay- ing the moving bill. He has too many bills to pay already. But with the capital in the industrial east how can the farmer expect the government to get his viewpoint without travel on the part of the chief executive? Pres. Coolidge has remained at home too much. He needs to come west and meet the farmers and study their problems at first hand, not take the advice of politicians or- so-called spokesmen for agricul- tural interests. We never favored the Maury- Haugen bill and think that it was for the best interests of our coun- try that the president had the courage to stand by his convic— tions and veto it. We fail to see government assistance as the great cure—all for the farmers' troubles, but we do believe that our govern- ment should get more of an agri- cultural viewpoint on all matters of interest to its citizens. President Coolidge has viewed everything from an industrial r seesaw: mg as: erms from . B. nottoetn ‘ ‘ T fie Business .Fam Y NEIGElBOR says it‘s allus best to give your lg/ cows the T.

I notice from the label on my paper and upon renewing I would like to take out one of your accident and ,travel policies. What losses does your policy cover? Please con- tinue sending your paper to me.—E. E. U., Eagle, Mich. E are no longer issuing cheap accident and travel insurance _ policies. Never boosters for cheap insurance, we carried it with a good company only to accomodate those who really wanted it, but our agents did not urge it upon folks. We have yet to read a policy that was more liberal for the money invested than our‘s was, but it is very easy to misunderstand this kind of insurance so we decided it was best to discon- tinue it entirely. Accident insurance should be carried‘by everybody, but we do not believe a policy can be sold at the low price of $1.00 which is of very much value to the farmer. FARM LISTING COMPANIES ACI'IVE AGAIN IFE is just one fight after another for far mtolks. If their crops fail they have a hard time of it trying to get enough tocarry them through to another harvest, and it their crops are a great financial suc- cess then they have to lay awake nights to keep some swindler or “wildcat stock” salesman from get— ting their money away from them. One of the most profitable pus- inesses, we believe, is that of “list- ing harms”, because it can be worked during the lean year as well as the prosperous year: There are always folks who want to sell their farms. . Some really want to sell while others will sell “it I can get my 'price”. Most of the companies soliciting property for “listing” publish a book- let, pamphlet, catalog, or whatever they care to call it, and charge so much for listing the property in their publication which, they advise, they send to. a large list of people who are interested in buying property. The average price for this service is set at $10.00, but it the victim tailed - to respond they generally start cut- ting prices. We have heard of their coming down to as low as $2.50. Then atter the property is sold they are to receive another ten-spot. We have heard of any number of these companies but never have we heard of any of our readers having to pay the second $10.00, in fact we do not know of one tarm in this state he- ence with one. ing. sold through this method al- though there are many iolks who paid their “li ing” fee. - .One subscr or recently wrote us that he~“listed” his farm two years ago with the understanding that he was to, receive his money back it it was not sold. However, the company failed to state how long they were to have on the property, and this reader has about decided if there is to be a refund it will be some of his ancestors who will profit by it. The company is apparently very busy as they do not take time to answer his letters. If any of our readers know of a farm changing hands through such a deal we would like to know about it. ANOTHER ORANGE FRAUD STOPPED 0 you remember the “Acme Farms" of Gainesville, Florida, and their “Fresh Sweet Florida Oranges, $3 per box of three hun- dred large size” which we exposed through our columns and saved con- siderable money for our readers? Another concern of. this kind recent— ly came into existence but it did not last long. It was the “Florida In- depedenf Citrus Growers,” West Tampa, Florida, and in their adver- tising, which had been sent" to over 100 newspapers in all parts of the country, they promised to send 200 oranges for $6.50, or fifty grape- fruit for $5.00. C. F. Hernandez, treasurer of the company,,.claimed to have a financial backing of $100,000, and declared he controlled 3. $5,000,000 crop of oranges, but investigation revealed that his “backers’ were employees of a coal and wood yard, that be con— trolled no orange crop and had made no arrangements to fill orders. Their total investment in the “business” amounted to less than $20 which was for postage and stationery. The post office department closed them with a fraud order, it is be- lieved, before anyone had been de- frauded. FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS NE of our financial advertisers 0 calls our attention to our article “Why Investors Do Not Get Dividends” which appeared in our February 26th issue, stating that they believe it is misleading, and makes farmers suspicious of good companies. We do not believe that would apply to our subscribers and advertisers because our readers know we do not accept the advertising of any company that we do [not believe to be reliable. It isour business to protect our subscribers, not expose them to the danger of some fraud. ~ There are many companies con— ducting their business on an unques‘ tionable basis and they can be con- sidered as reliable as a. bank. Then there is the fiy-by—night concern that is feathering its own nest and plans on leaving the public hold the bag. It gets into every business and the reliable concerns must suffer because of it although they are not to blame in any way. Our purpose in that article was to save the money of our good friends so that they would in- vest it with reliable concerns where the investment would be profitable to both the buyer and the seller. One bad investment and a person is through, a good investment and they feel encouraged to invest more. If we have caused any reflection to.be .cast upon this advertiser we apologize, and repeat for the benefit of all that we believe our subscribers can buy with confidence from our ad- vertiseers.

OF BROADCASTING EVERAL changes have been made in the program from sta- tion WGHP which include the hour of broadcasting the U. S. Farm School and the M. B. F. market re- ports. The market reports are now being broadcasj; at 6:40 instead of 7:05, while the Farm School is gov ing on the air at 6:15 instead of 6:40. This applies to every night except Tuesday when both of them are broadcast at 6:15. If, for any reason, this change is not satisfac- tory we will appreciate hearing from you. . TO DISCONTINUE FARM SCHOOL HE U. S. Farm School which we T are broadcasting each evening, except Saturday and Sunday, is to be soon discontinued. The ma- terial is furnished to us by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and we are informed by them that the live- stock lessons and the dairy talks will close on April 15th, but the poultry course will be continued until May 11th. In the place of these special programs will be re- leased from time to time during the spring and summer months. Also we will broadcast talks and news of interest to our farm listeners. Next fall we will again have something like the Farm School which we know you will find helpful and interesting. RADIO NOTES ADIO experts have figured it out that is costs the owner of the average receiver a little over 7%0 an hour to operate his set. That includes everything—a five— tube set at $80, storage A battery, and two heavy duty B batteries or a B eliminator. The life of the “aver- age set’ is figured four years. Radio concerts are being given to the passengers on a Russian rail— road. Each compartment contains wall plugs for loud speakers and telephones. A new tube has been invented that does away with any batteries or cur- rent supply devices. How soon they will be on sale is not known but it is believed that it will revolutionize the radio industry. A native and resident of Ireland wrote a Chicago station that he re- ceived their broadcasting on a one- tube set with a 15-foot aerial. In Germany they are using the radio to teach foreign languages. Recently a Hartford, Connecticut, milkman turned on his radio before starting on his route in the morning. He heard an amateur broadcasting station in Ohio sending out a mes- sage to a man who lived in that tOWn and was on his route, so he wrote the message on a sheet of paper and delivered it with the milk within an hour.

Please tell how to go at,_it—what time to put it in, how much lime .to use, and what, and kind, and all the particulars.”-.—-—Mrs. A. M., Lawrence, Mich. Mrs. A. M. has a qhestion_,much in keeping with the topic of the day. She ‘does not say how fertile“ the field is, or what its soil is. If the field is not in a'good state of fertility, al- falfa will not do well on it unless some manure or, commercial fertil- izer is applied. Alfalfa does not al- ways succeed on fertile land, but seldom, very seldom succeeds on poor land. . , I believe Mrs. A. M. might just as well try'for alfalfa as clover. The field being corn stubble, plow the land before May 1st in order to help control the corn borer. Drag it at in- tervals frequent enough to keep the weeds in check and if heavy rains come it should be worked as soon after as the soil is ’dry enough. This is to conserve the moisture for alfal- fa sedeing time. In the final analysis, moisture in sufficient quantities is, , without doubt, the big factor in get- ‘ ting alfalfa to start well. It will stand considerable dryness after it has attained a growth of four inches or so, but until then, it requires a moist condition if it is to prosper. It will pay to test the soil for sour- ness. Your county agent will gladly help you do this. If you are so un- fortunate as not to have a county agent, you can test it for yourself by sending to. the M. S. C. at East Lansing, and getting a soil testing outfit. This will cost twenty-five cents—full directions accompany it. Agricultural lime is mostly used and not less than 600 pounds per acre is our way of using it. I believe ground limestone is better but it is so difficult to obtain when We want it. The lime may be sown any time after plowing, and perhaps the sooner the better. ' I am sure it will pay to use 150 or 200 pounds of good fertilizer per acre, say one of 3-12—2 analysis, or one as good. This will help the plants get a hustle on as nothing else will, unless the field can be top- dressed with stable manure, (and the latter will cause weeds to be a very great. nuisance). The seed should be inoculated. If weather is right, sow it about the 8th to 12th of June. It conditions at this time are not ‘ideal for the. germination of seed and dry weather is feared, we would not sow it until after some heavy rain in August. The fertilizer should not be applied until about two weeks before seed- ing time. However, it will not lose much value if sown at an early time. We like to sow the seed with a disk drill, letting the seed run through the tubes into the disk furrow as grain does, being careful not to cov- er more than one inch deep. This can be done if the soil is as compact as it should be. We sow the. seed on our wheat in the spring with a drill as above stated. The drill will not hurt the wheat and even a spring tooth har- row used to drag the seed in, (when it is sown with a broadcast hand seeder) has never hurt the Wheat any. We have had soil so loose the drill covered the seed too deep when used as above stated, and then we let the seed fall anywhere, as the seed tubes were removed from those connected with the disk. Then drag chains are used to cover the seed. However, the ground is seldom loose enough for this practice, and cover- ing up grain is to be recommended where possible. The sugar beet acreage will be increased about 20 per cent around Lansing this year, reports indicate. Animals like ‘oat wheat straw.

' White having returned from a deer limits ing trip. He said he stayed in the kitchen and talked to his parents from there and while telling them of how the chicken coop had been robbed only a week ago, he noticed a car coming from the north at a.‘ very slow rate of speed. He re— marked at the time about the car and said that it looked as though folks in the,car were chicken hun- gry. He watched the car go on past the house, stop at the barn and two men sneak around the barn, and the car going on up the road. .At this point his father got up and hurriedly dressed and as be rushed out the door he handed his father the rifle and he and his father ran towards the chicken coop where they saw a form standing. Ralph related how his father shouted, “Hey, what are you doing around that chicken coop?” As they ran closer his father yelled, “Halt, stop or I will shoot,” this was repeated two or . three times. He told how one man, who‘ proved to be Telfor, stood still, while another man was seen running from the chicken coop. His father con- tinued to pursue the fleeing man and after ordering him to stop or he would shoot and repeating it two or three times his father fired, but the man kept on running until his father caught him by the shoulder and threw him tothe ground after quite a tussle. Ralph remained with Tel— for while his father was chasing the man who proved to be Ted Sixbury. It was Ralph’s opinion that Sixbury was very much intoxicated. 'Wilson Takes Stand I One of the highly dramatic mo- ments of the trial occurred when L. J. Wilson was called to the stand following his son’s testimony. Wil- son told of how he had returned home on the night of November 24th, about eight—thirty or nine GOOD WEATHER. MAKES GOOD HATCHES AMHERYMEN report that 1927, to date, has been an unusually good year for hatching eggs. Ordinarily Feb- ruary and March batches are 40 to 50 per cent but this year, because of the mild weather, 50 to 75 per- cent of the eggs put. in the incubabors have hatched out chicks. o’clock. He said he had looked to See whether or not the chicken coop was looked as he had ordered Rasty Peterson to keep the coop locked while he was away deer hunting. He found that the coop was locked and shortly afterwards retired. The balance of his testimony verified the story told by his son Ralph and by Telfor. Wilson said he did not mean to hit the man but had shot to stop him and he certainly did not intend to kill him. Upon cross examination he said he did not shoot because he was angry or out of revenge, but admitted he was provoked. “James Wilson, . father of L. J. Wilson was next called and he told of finding the lock and some keys about a rod from the tussle on the night of the robbery. The keys James Wilson found, however, did not fit the lock. Deputy Sheriff Bopp was recalled to the stand and was shown a memorandum he wrote op the night of the robbery, which read, “Found keys in pocket of Ted Sixbury (clothes of Ted Sixbury) at hos— pital.” Bapp said the writing was his and that he later tried the keys found in thé clothes of Sixbury and found they unlocked the lock found by James Wilson at the scene of the tussle between L. J. Wilson and Ted Sixbury. Mrs. L. J. Wilson was then ‘called and told of the events leading up to the Ishooting. She stated she heard her husband yell to the men to stop, and that she later heard him yell to callthe officers. 7 ‘ . Following Mi‘s.

Mar-rhea The following letter will no doubt be, of 'utmoist interest to poultry raisers. who have had serious losses from White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs. Bradshaw tell of. her experience in her own words: , . “Dear Sir: I see reports of so many losing their little chicks with White Diarrhea, so thought I would tell my experience. I used to lose a great many, from this cause, tried many remedies and was about dis- couraged. As a last resort I sent to the Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 527, Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c packages, raised 300 White Wy- andottes and never lost one or had one sick after giving the medicine and my chickens are larger and healthier than ever before. I have found this company thoroughly reli- able and always get the remedy by return mail.”—Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa. Cause of White Diarrhea White Diarrhea is caused by mi- croscopic organisms which multiply with great rapidity in the intestines of diseased birds and enormous numbers are discharged with the droppings. Readers afe warned to beware of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until it kills half your chicks. Take the “stitch in time that saves nine.” Remember, there is scarcely a hatch without some infected chicks. Don’t let these few infect your entire flock. Prevent it. Give Walko in all drinking water for the first two weeks and you won’t lose one chick where you lost hundreds before. These letters prove it: Never Lost a. Single Chick Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek, Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fi- nally I sent for two packages of Walko. I raised over 500 chicks and I never lost a single chick from White Diarrhea. Walko not only pre- vents White Diarrhea, but it gives the chicks strength and vigor; they develop quicker and feather earlier. Never Lost One After First Dose Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah, Iowa, writes: “My first incubator chicks, when but a few days old, be— gan to die by the dozens with White Diarrhea. I tried different remedies and was about discouraged with the chicken business. Finally, I sent to the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo, Iowa,.for a box of their Walko White Diarrhea Remedy. It’sjust the only thing for this terrible disease. We raised 70-0 thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost a single chick after the first dose.” You Run No Risk We will send Walko White Diar- rhea Remedy entirely at our risk—— postage prepaid—so you can see for yourself What a wonder~working rem— edy it is for White Diarrhea in baby chicks.

Send 50c for package of Walko (or $1.00 for extra large boxy—give it in all drinking water and watch results. You’ll find you won’t lose one chick where you lost dozens before.

He said the lam/mastudecide whe- ther Wilson Was attempting to make cause he was angry, or. out of. fe- venge, and finally did he shoot be- cause he couldn’t catch the man in any other way. , Defense Attorney Rarden in clos-‘ ing for Wilson questioned whether a homicide had been committed Or not as the testimony of Dr. Weaver had shown that it was doubtful as to the actual cause of Ted Sixbury’s death. He showed that Wilson had not 'shot to kill, that there was no ele- ment of anger or revenge, but that Wilson had shot to make an arrest and that his subsequent actions of immediately calling the officers proved his statement. J 11ng Reviews Case Judge Hawley, owing to the State wide interest inthe trial, very care— fully reviewed the case for the jury. He repeated over and over the lead- ing points in question, consuming forty minutes in charging the jury. His whole charge might be summed up in the question he left for the decision of the jury—whether Wil- son as a private citizen was attempt- ing to make an arrest of Sixbury, surprised in the commission of a felony, or whether he did the shoot- ing as an act of personal revenge. The case was given to the jury at 3:24 p. In. and at 3:34 p. m. they returned to the jury box—they had been out only ten minutes. Before the jury was allowed to state their findings, Judge Hawley cautioned a g a in s t any demonstration and warned any person or persons caus— ing such demonstration that they would be brought before the court to give cause for their act. In spite of the words of caution when the jury foreman spoke the words freeing Wilson enthusiasm knew no bounds, men and women rushed to clasp Wilson by the hand and to slap him on the.back in sheer joy. The crowd that had stood for hours on the stairs when they heard the word gave a cheer for Wilson and there seemed no limit to the joy expressed by everyone. The jury- men were heartily congratulated. One of the jury stated that they could have come back in five minutes but they wanted to catch their breath before returning to the court room. No only has Wilson been vindi- cated—but What is equally as impor- tant—every farmer in the State has been vindicated. It has been deter- mined that the farmer of this State can protect their property and they have the Wilson case as authority to back them up. Wilson has suffered much through this whole affair, but he has suffered in a just cause and the farmers all over Michigan are justly proud of him for his courage throughout the whole trying period following the shooting, right on through the final trial. Men who make it their business to steal from farmers have been taught a great lesson from the Wilson case. They have been warned for all time that the farmers have some rights after all, and that they can use those rights whenever the occasion arises in the future—~thanks to Mr. L. J. Wilson of Greenville. FEEDING POTATOES TO POULTRY Do you think small potatoes make good feed for poultry? Are you in favor of artificial lights to increase Winter egg production?———L.

M an ’ brought in. _ oultr _ ‘s, 4 Romeo on the evening of. March indicates that it- takes more than rain to make the members stay at home. About eighty were there When the meeting got under way shortly after 8 o’clock. Regular business was first taken up and several new members were Then speakers were in- troduced. First the Editor of M. B. F. said a. few words regarding the acquittal of L. J. Wilson, the Green— ville farmer who shot a chicken thief, and he advised those present that we believed we had mere than sufficient funds to take care of all expenses. The featured speaker of the eve- ning was Prof. J. A. Hannah, of the poultry deparment of the M. S. C. He is called the god—father of the as— sociation as he helped the poultry— men organize in this county. This, together with the fact that he was to discuss the possibilities of over- production of poultry, might have had a little to do with the large at- tendance. Certainly they paid most careful attention to Prof. Hannah’s talk and at the conclusion several asked him questions. It is his opinion, based on careful study, that there is little danger of an over-production for many years to come, becauseof the efforts along various lines to increase consump- tion. In the United States the per capita egg consumption between“ 1900 and 1925 increased from 194 eggs to 208. During the same time the consumption in Canada per .per- son doubled. National Egg Week, May 1—7, this year, is to be an annual a'ffair, he stated. 0 He was followed by an expert on R. O. P. work with poultry who talked briefly on the work being done along that line. The meeting was then brought to a close and Prof. Hannah found him— self the center of a group of eager men and women who fired questions at him, keeping him busy for some time replying to them. LICE IN BROODER I have a brooder house that I have a. coal burner in and'iast year I had lice on my baby chicks. I have a board floor in the building and it is about twelve inches from the ground. Now how am I to thoroughly rid my brooder so that it will be safe for a brooder this spring?———P. D. R., Van- dalia, Mich. WOULD expect that while one might have had lice in the brood— or house last season, that the winter’s freezeing and the absence of birds in the brooder house during the winter months, would entirely eliminate danger at this time of year. If one thought, however, that there might be lice in the house, it would be advisable to disinfect the house with a good coal tar disinfectant—~— C. G. Card, Professor of Poultry Hus- bandry, M. S. C. TUBERCULOSIS We have a disease among our flock of chickens that makes them get lame when they look like they are in good health. They lose their appetites all at once and linger for several weeks. Then again they will fall ofi the roost nearly dead with a full crop—R. T. B., Cassopolis, Mich. OUR chickens evidently have tuberculosis and it would be well for you to take one or two of them to your local veterinarian or your county agent for examina} tion. Then if this is right about the only thing you can do is clean up this flock and disinfect thoroughly and start over with a new flock.— Dr. Geo. H. Conn. S. 0. OR R. C. REDS Will you please tell me if there is any difference in the egg production of the single or rose comb Rhode Is- land Red hens?—A Reader. HERE is very little difference be- tween the two as far as produc- tion is concerned the difference being in' the breeding behind the par- ticular bird and not the comb. The ability of a bird to produce eggs economically depends largely upon the breeding back of that bird for the past several generations and there are good strains of both S. C. and R. C. Reds—J. A.

FOOTE, Market EditAII'. RMERS everywhere are getting ready for sowing their grain and other spring work, and from all that can be learned from official sources, it looks like a considerably larger grain acreage,than was put in a-year ago, despite the disappoint- ing low prices that have been paid, especially for corn and wheat in re— cent weeks. It looks like a considerable expan— sion of the potato acreage this year, as ,the Department of Agriculture finds that potato growers are likely to plant 3,620,000 acres, or 15 per cent more than last year, and 17 per cent more than two years ago. A heavy gain is noted in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Fall in Grain Prices Within a short time all the grains sold at the lowest prices of the season, the decline in wheat from the previous high time several weeks earlier being about 11 cents per bushel for May delivery. Sales were made around $1.34, comparing with $1.59 a year ago. The lower prices started up quite a lively export de- mand for the better kinds of wheat, and there was a small advance. Plenty of wheat is left for all do— mestic and foreign requirements, and a short time ago the visible supply in the United States stood at 50,321,000 bushels, comparing with 33,674,00-0 bushels a year ago. At the same time the visible corn sup- ply stood at 48,330,000 bushels, compared with 37,197,000 bushels a year ago; that of oats at 38,958,— 000 bushels, comparing with 53,— 973,000 bushels a year ago; that of rye at 14,365,000 bushels. compar— ing with 13,715,000 bushels a year ago; and that of barley at 3,281,— 0100 bushels, comparing with 5,285,— 000 bushels last year. May corn has sold around 72 cents, about the same as at this time in 1926. May oats at 44 cents was a few cents above last year. May rye at $1.02 com— pared with 88 cents a year ago. Hogs and Provisions It has been demonstrated repeat— edly that only by keeping dowu mar— ket supplies of hogs to moderate numbers can prices be kept from de- clining, and even then sellers are greatly dependant upon buying of eastern packers in the Chicago stock yards, for the big local packers have assumed an extremely bearish atti— tude at such times as the receipts happened to be comparatively large. For weeks it has been evident that the market was weakened by the ab- sence of speculation in the provision market and the great falling off in the exports of lard and cured hog meats, which resulted in the check- ing of outside competition, leaving more of our hog products for home consumption. Hog prices underwent some big declines, with the packers in control much of the time, but there were 4times when stockmen helped themselves by withholding supplies. Hogs continued to sell much lower than one and two years ago, but far higher than in other recent years, and choice light bacon hogs sold at a liberal premium over heavy lots because weighty swine comprised the great bulk of the daily offerings. Many farmers have made good profits by feeding low-priced corn to hogs, and a world of ,soft corn was utilized in this way. In some districts hog breeding has fall— en off, and the year's receipts in western packing points have been far smaller than in recent years. Mar- keting hogs is very irregular, and following a recent 'week of much samller Chicago receipts than usual, farmers rushed in about 70,000 hogs on the following Monday, bringing about a big break in prices. Hogs have sold 01' late at prices that looked very low when it was re- called that they brought a year ago $10 to $13.10 and two years ago 23.11.40 to $13.10. But three years they sold at, $6.65't0 $7.70,.and .1 1 0 higher. than in most; recent W00. light has! ~ still ., ’ ‘ , was! "far above the best heavy lots. Late hog sales were at $9.65 to $11.75. Prime Cattle Go Higher Most of the time enough beef cattle reach western packing points to meet the domestic beef require- ments, there being no longer any important foreign outlet, but for many weeks there has been an in— - creasing scarcity of .well finished, long fed cattle of heavy steers, and these have undergone frequent ad- vances in prices in the Chicago and other markets. Other grades of cattle sell much higher than in re— cent years, but heavy corn—fed steers have sold far above prices paid a year ago, while last year, as in most past years, yearlings sold at a pre- mium on the approach of warmer weather. Recent sales of steers were made at $8.65 to $13.65, largely at $9.25 to $12.50, with the best yearlings at $12.25 and the best . heavy steers the highest since the fall of 1925. On a recent Monday some 1436 pound steers topped the . I, MARKETS BY RADIO UNE in M. B. F. markets, broadcast Monday, Wed- nesday, Thursday and Fri- day nights at 6:40, eastern time from WGHP.

Seldom in the past has the cattle industry been so pro- fitable, and the best lots are great money-makers. Fat cows and heifers sell at $7 to $11, and_stockers and feeders are scarce with a good de— mand at $8 to $9.75, but not many over $9 and no good ones below $8.50. A year ago beef steers sold at $7.60 to $10.50 and two years ago at $7.75 to $12.50. Dairy cows are in good demand at $75 to $110, well—bred Holsteins going the high— est. There was a late decline of 25 cents in stockers and feeders. Illinois spring lambs, the first of the season, averaging 51 pounds, were sold in the Chicago market re- cently for $21 per 100 pounds. Fed lambs advanced to $17 on small re- ceipts, comparing with $13.75 a year ago, and sheep and yearlings ‘were scarce and high, top yearlings being almost nominal at $15. Feed- IL ing and spring lambs were scarce'et $14 to $15. . ' , , WHEAT The wonderful spring weather we have been having has far from helped the wheat market. are such as to act bearish on prices. Some damage to the new crop is re— ported in‘ the west but it does~ not seem serious. Wheat, in general, is selling fully 30c lower"-than a year ago. CORN There seems to be little change in the corn market, although the cash situation appears stronger and it is hoped that it will result in higher prices. OATS Oats follow other grains with the market featureless. Demand is fair and “it is believed that cats are a ,good buy at present prices. . ~ RYE Opinions are bullish on rye. Ex— port demand has declined but so have supplies so the position of the market has not changed. BEANS Beans appear to be about the most undesirable property one can own at present. The market is in a dull position and any attempt to learn the reason why ends up with a lot of question marks. Maybe the com— mittee appointed by Hon. Herbert E. Powell, Commissioner of Agricul- ture, will find out what is wrong. Kidneys beans are quoted from $4.90 for dark reds to $6.75 for light reds. POTATOES Carlots of potatoes are unchanged and steady. Many guesses are being made as to this year’s acreage and after summing them all up one ar- rives at the conclusion that it will be about the same as last year.

CHICAGO—Livestock trade lacked ac- tion Saturday, with most of the stock going direct to packers. Demand for hogs was slow but sellers held for steady values. Most of the 3,000 arrivals went to packers and supplies were hardly large enough to test the trade. Choice lots sold at $11.70@11.75, com- pared with $12.25 paid a. week ago. Most good heavy butchers brought $10.75 and down on a steady market. 0 Only about 200 cattle arrived and trade was only nominal. For the week the mar- ket was uneven. Prime heavy steers sold to $13.65 for the year’s high, and best kinds closed strong to 25 cents higher. Medium and plainer grades however, were 03 that much. Fat cows gained 25 cents and bulls close .10@15 cents higher. Calves up about 50 cents. Nearly all of the 5,000 sheep and lambs went direct to packers. The market was nominally steady. Fat lambs closed 356) 50 cents higher for the week, with shorn lots showing most gain. Wool lambs were quoted at $16.40, with best sham lots at $16.10. Shearing lambs were up 25@40 cents and sheep gained 25650 cents, with best light ewes to $10.50. . . Week of April 10 A RECIPITATION and tempera- tures will both register below the seasonal normals for the :veek beginning April 10th in Mich- gan. , During the first few days of the, week the weather will be generally ’ unsettled to threatening with scat- tered light showers or possible snow flurries in some of the northern counties. Temperatures during early part of week will be warm but about the middle of the week they will change to lower readings. ‘ At about the same time the sky ‘ will clear 01!. However, this will only be a brief spell as the latter days of the week will again become unsettled. Week of April 17 Temperatures during the greater part of this week will still average below the normal. Precipitation will be more plentiful. , While there will be cloudy and threatening weather during early, part of week, we also believe there Will be a strong force at work to clear up the atmosphere. As a result we. look for rather changeable or contrary conditions. 7 There will be heavy rains and high winds from about the middle of the week until shortly after but as the end of the week approaches the. sky-:3 will clear and cool, fair weather may. be expected. 1 ' We Beat Weather Bureau Agttn' ..
