A tractor Lubricated with Polarine pulls away steadily, willingly —— whlle a tractor that is not properly lubricated complains of the oil by domg poor work. Of course, a tractor isn’t alive like a horse—but it requires good treatment ust the same—and rewards you for it! f you Will lubricate your tractor with Polarine and see that the oil is changed every two weeks—or better still, ever week—you’ll get good steady wor out of your machine. With a tough film of oil over all the fast-moving surfaces, Polarine protects the engine from the grind of grit and the heat of friction. When the oil becomes thin and dirty, it is no longer able to protect the engine and fresh Polarine is needed. That is why it is 001a ri ne THE PERFECT MOTOR OIL To get Best Results - change your motor oil at frequent intervals. important to give the lubrication of your tractor. regular attention ——- to change the 011 every week or two. If you give your tractor good treat- ment —— lubricate it regularly With Polarine—it will reward you by work- ing well— and lasting long. Tractors refer Polarine —— and it pays to give it to them! For years Polarine has lubricated the tractors on farms throughout the ten states of the Middle West. For years it has given faithful, dependable lubri- cation service. Farmers know that. they can count on Polarine to do a thorough job of lubrication—that it is a uniform product, always the same, always satisfactory -— with the solid reputation of the Standard Oil Com- pany (Indiana) behind it.

Corn growling districts of Michigan for the 1927 contest. =HIS year marks the fifth for Michigan’s Corn Growing Con- test. Since 1923, the interest in this project has grown and this year there will be approximately fifty contestants. This contest is carried on cooperatively by the Farm Crops Department of M. S. C. and the Michigan Crop Improvement Ass’n. As a state wide project, it claims several objects; however, the real purpose of the contest is to in- terest Michigan's corn growers in varieties that are better adapted to their particular local‘conditions. It also places before these growers the valuable and more successful cul- tural practices made use of by the farmers who win the awards and produce the best crops. An entry of five acres of corn must be made; however, this may be a. five acre field or may be any five adjoining acres of a larger field. Each grower wishing to enter as a contestant must be a member of the Michigan Crop Improvement Ass’n, said membership costing one dollar per year. Thus the necessary ex—V penditure is very small compared to the value of knowing accurately just what it costs to produce your crop of corn. Each contestant must keep a rec- ord of the manure, commercial fer— tilizer and seed used, and also the amount of labor spent in producing his five acre field of corn. In the fall, at harvest time, each field is Seventy-Five Attend Detroit Meeting EPRESEN’I‘ATIVES of twelve state agricultural organizations met at the Fort Shelby Hotel on May 26 and 26 to hold the first an- nual meeting of the Michigan Live- stock Loss Prevention Association. A total of seventy-five persons took part in the discussions and entertain- ment, featuring the two day meeting. After an afternoon of sight—seeing around Detroit, which included the inspection of the Detroit News plant, the Ford Motor Company, and the Detroit Creamery, the guests and delegates settled down to a banquet at which Mr. J. H. O’Mealey, Presi« dent Of the Association, presided. Following the banquet the annual business meeting was held at which the following directors were elected or re—elected: J. H.

Who Will Be Michigan’ s 192 7 Corn King? M. S. C. Will Find Him Through Five Acre Corn Growing Contest By R. H. MORRISH Extension Specialist in Farm Crops, Michigan State College sampled by representatives of the Farm Crops Department, in order to deterinine the yield per acre. This yield is calculated in terms of bush— els of shelled corn per acre, on a basis of fourteen per cent moisture content. The final placings are announced during Farmers’ Week in February each year. These placings and the awards are made on the greatest margin above the cultural costs of production. The yield of thirty-four bushels obtained by the average farmer in Michigan in 1926 can be grown on a smaller acreage and at the same time costs can be decreased and the margin above cultural costs increased by the use of better cul— tural methods. In 1926, Mr. Paul C. Clement 'was made Corn King of Michigan. He obtained a yield of ninety bush- els of shelled corn per acre, as com- pared to the thirty-four bushels produced by the average farmer. Valuing corn at seventy-three cents a bushel, his five acre yield was $327.20. Other winners in the 1926 contest were: second, George Bruce, Brit- ton; third, Ernest Gilbert, Waldron; June 9 Livestock Feeders’ Day at M. S. C. ROFESSOR F. G. KING, Assist- ant Chief in Animal Hubandry at Purdue University, will be the principal speaker for Livestock Feeders’ Day, June 9th at Michigan State College. His address will be “Some Problems of the Cattle Feed- er.” Professor King has been a member of the grading committee in the National Cooperative experi- ments in livestock feeding. At ten o’clock, eastern standard time, a tour will be made about the College barns to inspect the animals in Various feeding experiments. In the dairy barn, the crowd will have the opportunity to see the ef— ' feet of minerals in the cattle ration and cotton seed meal versus linseed meal for growing calves. Over at the piggery, they will find fifteen Lots of pigs on experi- ments, and will observe the effect of cull beans for fattening pigs; alfalfa hay or meal for winter pig feeding; sanitary lots versus the old hog lots for spring pigs; and inside versus outside feeding. The first formal inspection of the large new horse barn will show some champion Belgians and Percherons, and various winter rations for idle horses will be noted. Choice baby beeves will be com- pared at the beef barn as to the value of linseed meal versus alfalfa hay; and barley versus corn. E. B. Hill, Assistant Dean of Agri- culture, will preside at a 12:30 lun- cheon at the Union, after which Professor King will speak. Meat for the luncheon will come from one of the College prime baby beef calves. More detailed results of the feeding experiments will be given out at this time and discussed by the animal husbandry department. The calves from the experiments will be valued by market representa- tives and the completed results made available. They will then be ship- ped to Beltsville, Maryland, where laboratory tests will be conducted to determine the difference in quality of meat from the different rations. The meat will be slaughtered and graded according to government standards. The pigs on the cull bean ration will also be shipped to Beltsville for soft pork studies—Kline. of Livestock Loss By s. 0.

Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Wegner have both been the winners of first place in previous contests. In order to enlarge the contest's scope and make it a fairer proposi- tion for up—state farmers, the state has been divided into three districts, where certain varieties are better adapted than others. The prizes to be given in each of the three dis- tricts are: first, one ton of 20 per cent acid phosphate, donated by the Supply Service of the Michigan Farm Bureau, Lansing; second, one-half bushel of Hardigan Alfalfa seed, giv- en by the Seed Service of the Farm Bureau and third, fifty pounds of binder twine presented by the Mich- igan Industries, Incorporated, of Jackson. Along with these district awards, ' a sweepstakes prize will be given to the best corn grower in the contest. This valuable reward consists of eighty rods of steel fence, donated by the Keystone Steel and Wire Company of Peoria, Illinois; and eighty steel fence posts contributed by the Red Top Steel Post Company, of Chicago, Illinois. Following the policy of previous years, the Michigan Crop Improve- ment Ass’n will present gold medals to all growers obtaining a yield of one hundred bushels of shelled corn per acre; silver medals to those pro- ducing from eighty—five to one hun- dred bushels per acre and bronze medals to all who have a yield of from seventy—five to eighty—five bush- els per acre. In 1926, two silver tro- phies and three bronze ones were awarded to the contestants. Already there are more entries in than there were contestants finish- ing the contest in 1926. The entry lists will close on July 1st.

Davison of the Institute of American Meat Packers spoke from the stand- point of the packer. All these men agreed that the whole proposition of producing good livestock and getting it to the market in good shape was a cooperative movement. The farmer, the buyer, the shipper, the man who loads, the carrier, stock yards, all have a hand and if any fail to do their duty there may be a loss. The recent heavy losses due to hot weather was in fact due largely to over—loading and poor bed- ding. If the cars are loaded prop- erly as to number and sand used as in the cars, the danger is minimized. Do not over-load, was emphasized ” strongly. Prof. J. T. Horner in his talk on i the elimination of waste in agricul— .5 ture remarked that, “The person who prevents waste is just as big a,- factor in our production problems as‘ the man who actually produces.

As you will remember committees in the Senate held up both bills until it looked as though we would not get any legislation along this line during the last session. If it had not been for evidence presented by T111: BUSI- NESS FARMER and others at a special meeting with the two committees, no doubt the two bills would have died in their hands. But after the case .1 had been pleaded for. both bills by ourselves and others, producing evi— dence of the great need of stronger laws along this line, the committees reported the bills out, and they were passed by the Senate with slight re— vision which made it necessary for them to be returned to the House. The House passed them and they were placed before the Governor for his signature. The Hall Bill The most important bill of the two is known as the House Enrolled Act No. 56. It was introduced by Rep— resentative Hall of Ionia county and is an act to regulate the buying and selling of poultry by having the deal— er keep a record. The bill reads as follows: “An act to regulate the buying and selling of poultry; to aid in the One Act Regulates Buying and Selling Of Poultry and Other Act Determines Sentence Of Thief By MILON GRINNELL SENTENCED FROBI OAKLAND COUNTY FOB STEALING CHICKENS Evidence indicated that these four men were making a. good living by robbing farmers' chicken coops in Oakland county until Sheriff Frank Schram and his deputies got after them. to justice.

It was dusk and sombreroed offi- cers, with six— —shooters poking from below their embroidered jackets, waved us a doubtful welcome into Old Mexico. The automobile in which we were riding seemed strangely out of place in the narrow cobbled street, which led up to the hotel and we followed a tiny little street- -car, powered by a rebuilt fliv- ver engine, which the motorman- conductor, with the help of his pas- sengers, twice got out to push over a particularly bad piece of track. We had our first Mexican banquet that night in the patio of the hotel, under a moon— —lit sky and though we tried to listen to the Texas boosters from the‘ ‘valley” who were still oui hosts; the strum of a guitar in a lazy Spanish tune, the soft caress of a summer breeze and a dinner of many, many courses, pulled us all- too- easily, into the indolence of “M,anana-(tomorrow)— —land."

It was hot, very hot and dusty, even though this city of nearly a hundred thousand population boasts of paved streets and many inviting little parks. Here we caught our first glimpse of the stagnation which has followed the continued depredations of the various revolutionary factions, for it was only a few years ago, that Monterey was visited by the de— structive Pancho Villa and his band marauders and in the Hotel Azteca where we stopped, the building, which was to have been the pride of the city, is today only partially completed and the prints of the horse—shoesare still in the tile of the beautiful lobby, which Villa used to stable his cavalry. They told‘us that the wealthy Mexican who had hoped to crown his life’s work with the completion of this beautiful h0— tel for his native city, died a broken- hearted pauper. Like a monk’s—cap, the old Bish- op’s Palace, crowns the top of Chepe Vera hill and we climbed there to get a bird’s—eye view of Monterey. This old palace, now in partial ruins, was built in 1775 and was hotly contested when the invading army from the United States placed our flag on its crest in 1847. From‘this vantage-point one could see the iron and steel smelters which have con-- ‘ tributed- to the wealth of the city and probably more to the wealth of their foreign owners. Monterey lies in a valley with a range of moun- tains on either side, the most famous 'means of automobile or other vehicle having a license thereon, then the number of such license. “Section 2.

That these pioneers did their work effec- tively is proven by the miles of cul- tivated land, from which generous crops of tomatoes, cabbage, peppers and green vegetables had already been shipped to American markets. One of our hosts was a native of Benton Harbor, Michigan, who seemed mighty glad to talk with someone from so near his home. He gave us something of the present plight of the Americans who have invested their time and money in agricultural developments such as we were seeing in Manuel. Under the Mexican agrarian law, by which the government is attempt- ing to break up the large acreage ranches, which have kept the native peon in what might as well have been bondage; the cultivated land such as these Americans have devel— oped can be seized or condemned by the government. The valuation« is made and there are courts of appeal, based on the same scheme as'would prevail in condemnation proceedings in the United States, but, as our friend from Michigan pointed out, the “rub” came; first, in the fact that the Mexicans were taking away the cultivated land just as it was about to be profitable to the Ameri— cans, and second, because, even after a (so—called) fair price had been set on the land, the payment was to be made in Mexican bonds which the settlers felt had little definite value. 111 other words, if they acquiesced without a murmur, packed—up and (Continued on page 18.) 1 of which is Saddle Mountain.

AM unable to determine whether a pump would work satisfactor— ily in this distance or not. If you mean that the water is 30 feet below the ground then I am sure that a pump will not work, but if the water- comes to within a few feet 10f the surface and the pipe line is laid very carefully so that there will be no air pockets, the pump can be used at the house. There are a number of factors- that must be taken into considera— tion in locating a pump this dis- tance from the well. The size of pump, the size of pipe and the depth of the water below the cylinder of the pump are the factors that must be considered. A pump pumping 5 gallons per minute through a 1 inch pipe line this distance would lose about 6 feet in friction or this would reduce the suction lift of the pump from about 26 feet to 20 feet. That is, if the water in the well were 20 feet or more below the cylinder of the pump it would not work satisfactorily at this distance. I am inclined to be— lieve that it would be better to place a pump at or near the well than to attempt to pump through this amount of pipe line unless the water comes very close to the surface. ——0.

COQREDING to the results of the experiments conducted jointly by the Bureaus of Biological Survey and Chemistry of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, a powder can be made from dried red—squill bulbs which have an efficient and. uniform taxicidity for rate but at the same time does not unduly endanger human beings of domestic animals. The use of powdered red-squill for the destruction of rats is compara- tively recent in this country, al- though the poison has been in un— limited use in Europe for centuries. It has never come into popular use, however, there because of its ten- dency to vary greatly on potency. Several of the factors influencing its toxicidity have been developed dur- ing the course of the present inves— tigations.

WANTS BEAN POOL EAR EDITORz—I for one cannot understand since so much has been said and done why we can- not have a bean pooling system work- ing right now in our state as all as far as I know seem willing to pool. It seems to me the only thing lack— ing is there must be a wheel horse sent out to get the goods. Around Carson City where they can grow them if they can dispose of them, sure we can’t raise them to keep to look at. I have before me a pamphlet from a farm paper stating they will give me their paper three years weekly for one dollar. So much so good but not I. It’s years old and all I could ever learn from it was plant more corn and raise more hogs. That might be good advice but now we have the corn borer and hog cholera to fight.

Birthday IRTHDAYS being annual affairs, one is inclined to want to cele- brate their arrival. After we get past about so many milestones which our birthdays have numbered, we are less in- clined‘ to look forward to them than we were when the num— ber was small, and still, when a day has arrived, without excep- tion we seem to want it to be so pleasant we will remember it for some time. Well, yesterday the L. W . MEERS had a birthday. The morning was a very pleasant one. The afternoon was to be spent with Queen and June and Dan on a. plow about a mile from home. There was about one half day’s plowing left for two three—horse teams on the north place, and Kenneth and Yours Truly were going to get it done and be able to say our com ground was all plowed. Everything seemed pleasant as We drove to the field. All along the road violets, etc., seemed glad it was the time of their annual cele- bration, too. We had had a couple of days of rain, and the horses seemed glad it was the time of their annual celebration, too. We had had a couple of days of rain, and the horses seemed glad. to be back in the harness. In this connection however, the Broadscope man was somewhat surprised for Queen, the quiet, steady-going black, was seem— ingly very nervous, so much so that it required Kenneth’s assistance to hitch the team to the plow. Had I known as much then as I did an hour later my birthday celebration might have been different. Strange how many. 1{birthdays have to go by before we really know very much. I have always known that when a horse shows unusual signs of fatigue with no apparent cause, it should immedi— ately be returned to the barn, watched very closely, and a veterin— ary called as soon as any unfavor- able action of the horse was noticed. But I did not know it was a sign of approaching danger when a horse seemed unusually nervous. The plowing was very easy for the three horses, the soil was in that ideal condition for turning when it seems to fairly slip up and off the mold board. On account of the speed the team were bound to make, a short stop was made at each round, but there were only four rounds—.and then Queen went down. It was a some- what favorable location for such a celebration, as it was directly across the road from a farm home, and tele- phone. The man of the place was out in the yard. A shout was given and in less than two minutes a veter— inary was bundling his cases' in his car for a hurry call out‘in a stubble field two miles from town. Acute indigestion—very serious case—the first dose of medicine must be strong enough to cure or kill. Such threshing around on the ground by 'a horse is seldom seen.

But the night would be far more pleasant in the barn than out in the field. How it rains! Every hour for a while, and then every two hours the medicine was given. Midnight, and what a ‘fine lunch for us on returning to the friendly house. Two o’clock, four o’clock, six o’clock, and here is the veterinary again. “Queen is coming fine. If it stops raining get her home.” Some birthday celebration! But listen—there are some things to be thankful for, even in this celebra- tion. First, the fact friend Ray had a telephone; second, that our near- by village has an up-to-date veter- inary, and that he happened to be at home. Fifteen or twenty minutes longer delay would have been fatal. And last, but not least, is the know- ledge gained. ‘ This veterinary says when a horse shows unusual signs of nervousness get it in the barn at once, the same as when it shows unusual signs of weariness. Thank you Doctor, can you change this bill? It’s next day now; ground is very wet, still Kenneth and I will try and finish plowing this afternoon, the soil being somewhat sandy. But June and ‘Dan will have to be the team for my plow. Ill .* # Sign Your Name , It would seem so much has been said about signing one’s name to let- ters sent to the M. B. F. or anyone else, that all letters would be signed. But they are not. We dearly love the old name, “Subscriber," but when there is no other name given at the close of a letter we feel “Subscriber” does not mean enough to us to warrant our attention. But when a letter closes with John Doe, (Subscriber) we feel JohniDoe is a good man to get interested in and he will certainly get 'our best atten- tion. A letter came to me a short ‘time ago from a man who was sowing oats and wanted information about seeding some grass in them. He said to answer in next issue of /M. B. F. and signed his name “Subscriber.” It would have been impossible for the'answer to appear in the “next” issue, as that issue was then all in form. The best we could have done would have been to answer in the second issue and that would have been about three weeks away, alto— gether too late for an answer to be of any use to him. Had he given his name, We would have written him by return mail, and he could have had the information when he wanted it. Your name will not be used in printed articles if you do not wish it. But, and here I am reminded of a certain lodge meeting. It had prog— ressed to that part of the regular routine where the head officer asked, “Has any one a suggestion for the good of the order?” A new member who had just received his lastrde— gree, rose to answer, “Yes, let’s have supper.” And I say for the good of our order, let’s have your name. And while you are writing it, please write it plain. '."' "‘ * Sweet Clover Hay Several are inquiring about the possibility of sale of sweet clover hay, baling, etc. We have never made hay of sweet clover but know some who have made a success of it.

THEE T0 SPRAY I have five apple trees that are bearing fruit, but I do not get very ‘ much. The. worms destroy most of it.‘ Please let me know what to use to spray the trees with and how much it will cost to spray the five trees, and how many times will I have to spray for best results. When is the best time to spray? I keep bees. Would there be any danger of poisoning the bees with the solution that I spray with?——A. P., Hillman, Michigan. PRAY your trees just before the S blossoms open; immediately aft— er the blossoms fall; two weeks after the blossoms fall; and again the first week in August. For all sprays use 2% gallons lime-sulphur and add 2 pounds of arsenate of lead in 100 gallons of water. This sched— ule should do for a home orchard and will hold the worms, and also the scab in check. The most im- portant of these sprays is the one immediately after the blossoms fall. Spray thoroughly. These sprays will not hurt your bees, but do not spray when the trees are in blossom. The cost of spraying your trees will depend entirely upon their size, as it takes more material for a large tree than it does for a small one. If the trees are large, old trees it will cost you about 30c for each spray for the five trees. It the trees are not very large the cost will be less according to the size of the trees. This estimate of. cost includes only the spray material. BUS-HES FAIL TO BEAR Could you tell me what is the matter with my red raspberries? They are two years old and haven’t had any berries on them, except a few small ones. They look nice and thrifty but are covered with small flies in the summer time. Should they be destroyed or is there a spray that Would help?—Mrs. J. G., Midland, Mich. KNOW of no fly which directly injures red raspberries. If as you say the plants always look nice and thrifty then it cannot be that they are being attacked by any leaf eating insects. It is possible that a grub is destroying the flower buds. Watch the buds and if grubs are seen spray the plants with ar— senate of lead and water. It is also possible that the buds or blossoms were injured by a late spring frost, as sometimes happens. Watch your plants very carefully from now on and if any suspicious symptoms ap- pear describe them carefully and We will be very glad: to do all we can to help you. ,. "in, a. in: ’m inn-wan 7 .

Midnight, and what a ‘fine lunch. for us on returning to the friendly house. Two o'clock, four o’clock, six o’clock, and here is the veterinary again. “Queen is coming fine. If it stops raining get her home.” ' Some birthday celebration! But listen——there are some things to be thankful for, even in this celebra- tion. First, the fact friend Ray had a telephone; second, that our near- by village has an up-to-date veter- inary, and that he happened to be at home. Fifteen or twenty minutes longer delay would have been fatal. And last, but not least, is the know- ledge gained. This veterinary says when a horse shows unusual signs of nervousness get it in the barn at once, the same as when it shows unusual signs of weariness. Thank you Doctor, can you change this bill? It’s next day now; ground is very wet, still Kenneth and I will try and finish plowing this afternoon, the soil being somewhat sandy. But June and Dan will have to be the team for my plow. It s * Sign Your Name It would seem so much has been said about signing one’s name to let- ters sent to the M. B. F. or anyone else, that all letters would be signed. But they are not. We dearly love the old name, “Subscriber," but when there is no other name given at the close of a letter we feel “Subscriber” does not mean enough to us to warrant our attention. But when a letter closes with John Doe, (Subscriber) We feel John-Doe is a good man to get interested in and he will certainly get our best atten- - tion. A letter came to me a short time ago from a man who was sowing oats and wanted information about seeding some grass in them. He said to answer in next issue of M. B. F. and signed his name “Subscriber.” It would have been impossible for the'answer to appear in the “next” issue, as that issue was then all in form. The best we could have done would have been to answer in the second issue and that Would have been about three weeks away, alto- gether too late for an answer to be of any use to him. Had he given his name, we would have written him by return mail, and he could have had the information when he wanted it. Your name will not be used in printed articles if you do not wish it. But, and here I am reminded of a certain lodge meeting. It had prog— ressed to that part of the regular routine where the head ofiicer asked, “Has any one a suggestion for the good of the order?” A new member who had just received his last-de- gree, rose to answer, “Yes, let’s have supper.” And I say for the good of our order, let’s have your name. And while you are writing it, please write it plain.

TIME TO SPRAY 1 l i I have five apple trees that are bearing fruit, but I do not get very ! ' much. Theworms destroy most of 1 it.“ Please let me‘ know what to use i to spray the trees with and how , much it will cost to spray the five trees, and how many times will I ‘ have to spray for best results. When i is the best time to spray? I keep ‘ bees. Would there be any danger of l poisoning the bees with the solution that I spray with?-—-A. P., Hillman, Michigan. PRAY your trees just before the blossoms open; immediately aft- er the blossoms fall; two weeks after the blossoms fall; and again the first week in August. For all sprays use 21/2 gallons lime-sulphur and add 2 pounds of arsenate of lead in 100 gallons of water. This sched- ule should do for a home orchard and will hold the worms, and also the scab in check. The most im— portant of these sprays is the one immediately after the blossoms fall. Spray thoroughly. These sprays will not hurt your bees, but do not spray when the trees are in blossom. The cost of spraying your trees will depend entirely upon their size, as it takes more material for a large tree than it does for a small one. If the trees are large, old trees it will cost you about 300 for each spray for the five trees. If the trees are not very large the cost will be less according to the size of the trees. This estimate of cost includes only the spray material. BUSHES FAIL TO BEAR Could you tell me what is the matter with my red raspberries? They are two years old and haven’t had any berries on them, except a few small ones. They look nice and thrifty but are covered with small flies in the summer time. Should they be destroyed or is there a spray that Would help?——Mrs. J. G., Midland, Mich. KNOW of no fly which directly injures red raspberries. If as you say the plants always look nice and thrifty then it cannot be that they are being attacked by any leaf eating insects. It is possible that a grub is destroying the flower buds. Watch the buds and if grubs are seen spray the plants with ar- senate of lead and water. It is also possible that the buds or blossoms were injured by a late spring frost, as sometimes happens. Watch your plants very carefully from now on and if any suspicious symptoms ap- pear describe them carefully and we will be very glad to do all we can to help you. a: -.-' W” '1' -BL0580K; FESTIVAL the May, not issue no road of the itestivnl harem and aroud‘Ben- Jami first no]: in IR}. ,- n” anddethereis'pr'an- ‘y En-or-oo Gear * Compound For Differential and, Transmission of (Automobiles, ‘l'ruelul and Tractors En-ar-co Motor Oil Light—Medium-Heovy Extra Henry 55 Gal Steel Drums 80c Per Cal. 30 Gal.

Two out of three farm owners always buy Champions for trucks, tractors and stationary engines as well as for their per— sonal cars for the very same reasons that two out of three motorists, the world over, give Champion the preference. For full efficiency, do pendability, long life and greater economy you will find Cham— pion fully deserving of its world-wide rep utation —— the better spark plug. Car manufacturers recom- mend, and hundreds of thousands of motorists are changing spark plugs every 1 0,000 miles to insure better and more economical our operation.

How 4 mm duodatz'm Solved the Neighborhood Thievery! Problem By W. E. DRIPS J (Continued from May 21st issue.) was nearly nine o’clock when the phone rang. Mrs. Jim answers and it was Jim. He was about half way home and . is car was stuck. Couldn’t make the b ame thing run, he said, and tinker-ed with it, but no use. Said I better get the team and come up after him, as be guessed we'd have to pull it home. Well, I sure had a good laugh. Jim thought he wasaflrstratemechanicbutonlya week before I had to go out and pull him home, and when we began to look the car over We found out it was all right but he had jimmed the throttle and the carbu- retorwasflooded. SoItoldthemissus that it ought to be easily fixed, but I took the team along for safety. I hitched them to the light rig and away I went. Got to where Jim ought to be and be- gan wondering where he was, as he had phoned from Finley’s which was ahead of me. Passed Ottosen's place and thought I saw the car just ahead. So I slowed up the team and was just about ready to stop when I saw someone leave the car and run back to the barn. That didn't act like Jim, and I wondered what was up, so I began to drive careful like. sen gun so he was better protected than the rest of us. Jim didn’t wait to knock. He walked right up. opened the door, and we walked into the kitchen. - Maybe you think we didn't blink when right in front of us sat Mike and two other men playing cards. “Evening, Mike." Jim announmd. Mike wasn’t excited, but when the other two fellows saw Pete Finley with that gun they jumped up and started out. .~ "Whoa !" Pete sang out. “None, of that! Move again and you get bud:- shot. Back up and put then up!" Just then we heard another car coming up the lane, and Mike appeared nervous. “What's the idea. Barttm," he says. “coming in on me like this?” Rather un- usual to bu’st into a man's house and make his friends put up their hands. I ” Mike was real mad. Just then I saw something, and says, "Jim’ looky here." Right bad: of the table on a little stand were two cane just like my other can. Jim looted. May- be you think his eyes didn't stick out. He didn’t say much, but walked across the room, took an old roller towel of! the WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAB films were active among the farmers in Millhnnk township, although Tthinge quieted down right after they stole six hogs from Jim Barton. Folks had their own ideas as to who the guilty parties were, but no they had no actual proof or evidence on anyone nothing was done, until one night Mrs. Shooter, an old lady living all alone, was shot at when trying to keep someone from carrying of! her chickens. Bight then and there it woe decided to organize a protective association and get busy. Bill, former apprentice of the local country weekly who was working for the Barton's because of poor health, decided to solve the mystery if possible and get the reward of $100.00 which the association bod onered. Finding one of Jim Barton‘s hog markers at a neighbor he believed he was on the right trail, so he told Jim about it. Shortly after they took a load of hogs to the local stock yards to Ihip them with the cooperative’s and in one of the pens they saw several hogs which they believed were the stolen ones. Suspicion pointed to Mike Albert, when the folks suspected and Jim Barton star“ to look up the mutton—Editor. Maybe you think I wasn't surprised when I came alongside of the car, which seemed empty, and found out it was that old wreck that Mike had been driving. What‘s more, I got a second jolt when I took a breath and smelt the fumes of ether! Now I was excited. Didn’t know just what to do, but finally decided I better keep going. So when I was past the car, I whipped up the team and blamed near ran over Jim and his car, which was only a. mile farther down the road. It didn't take me more than a minute to tell Jim what I had seen. He was ex- cited, I tell you, and was for doing some- thing at once. He was sure Mike was up at some deviltry. Pete Finley was out there and he was sure things were wrong. Said the best thing to do was to go to the house and phone Ottosen and ask him if he had company and if he knew Mike was parked out near his barn. So Jim and Pete went to the house to telephone. Meanwhile, I began monkey- ing with the car, and I don’t know what I did to it unless I charmed the auto, but after I adjusted the spark and throttle and got down and cranked real hard, the blamed thing started and I had her run- ning sweet as a sewing machine just as Jim and Pete came tearing back. Maybe they weren’t pleased! "Hooray,” yelled Jim. “Just what we need; how did you start it?” And before I could answer, Pete sings out, "Bill, you made a discovery; someone just left Ot- tosens‘ and took with them some of his hogs!" Well, it took me about two jerks to tie up the team to the fence and jump into Jim’s car, and away we went back to- ward Ottosen‘s. When we got there the old man was out with a lantern and shot-l gun and he was so excited he could hard- lytalk. Saidthephonecallwolrehim up andthathehad senthis'boyoutto see what he could find out and the came in to report an automobile had just pulled out and that three of his seven 'fat hogs were gone. ' "Which way did they go?" Jim asks. "That way,“ the boy pointed. “Well. get in, bring that shotgun, and we’ll see what in thunder is up."~ Jim 3 rack, and with a butcher knifle began to cut it into strips. Meanwhile, Mike was cussing, and Pete had backed him up alongside of the others who stood in shot-gun row. “Here, Bill, Jim says “take this strip and tie them fellers' hands behind them. Pete, if they move, do what‘s customary with a shot-gim. If I can find any rope. We will see what we can do further." I tied them alright. Jim came in with a rope and we soon had their feet hobbled. Then Jim steps outside and begins to get ready to load the cusses in our car. He walked over to the car and was just ready to open the door when he heard a faint squealing. ”What in thunder !" he says. We looked into the car and here were three hogs kicking and squealing feebly, acting just like they had been stuck and was about gone. A second look showed us this wasn't our car. It was Mike’s remodled wreck, but no driver was to be seen any place. ”How in thunder did we get in here and not see this car?” Jim says. “Well," I replies, “because it wasn‘t here when we came up." So we had a brief argtnnent over the arrival of Mike’s car. Jim maintained it must have arrived ahead of us, as every- thing pointed that way. , "How in time could this cuss leave Ottosen’s and head the same way as us, leave ahead of us and get here after- wards? Besides, wasn’t Milne in that house when we bu’sts in there?" Continued in June 18th issue.) a can more _Iyl.l(. 08.08!

Most of them have to be and are answered by personal letter. (And for this a stamped envelope would be appreciated.) Some of these questions are duplicates, showing that they are of general concern. A few of these are noticed in our first installment of “Around the Table.” Some inquirers write, “Since you have promised to answer any ques- tion, I would like to ask, etc.’ Now your religious editor promises to do no such thing. That is an assign- ment for the gods. But he is glad to help as he can. ' ‘ II: 1|: Are there differing rewards in heaven? ~For suggestive answer to this question, compare 1 Cor. 3:10-15 ‘and 2 Cor. 5: 10. These indicate that our works or character must 'stand a future revelation or testing; and that future blessedness is pro- portioned according to our faithful— ness here. Some will enjoy more of heaven than others because they have lived in the heavenlies on earth. Others will have less since they have been worldly and inconsis- tent much of the time. Yet because they have .a little of the true faith at the bottom of their lives hey will be saved. We begin in heaven where we leave off here. Our future state is measured to us according to the way we use our opportunities at present. See also Luke 12:48 and Matt. 11:20-24. * ll: * Is there any real difference among the denominations? Your inquiry is interesting, but it 'would require very lengthy treat- ment to give a reasonably full and satisfactory answer. However, I may say' in general that all protestant evangelical churches are alike in Gospel essentials. That is, they all hold to the Fatherhood of God, the saviorship of Christ, and the enlight- tening and empowering companion— ship of the Holy Spirit. They differ in methods, in spiritual emphases, and in social purpose. Would that they would yield to the uniting sim— plicity of Love. I! it ill What is your explanation of the ransom? Interpretations of this differ. But Matthew 20:28 as compared with Titus 2:14 and Hebrews 9:12, make for a reasonable indication that Jesus laid down His life for us as an example of supreme sacrifice rather more than as a price paid in substi- tution. That is why He declares that the essential of Christian living is to take up one’s own cross and fol- low Him. His atonement for us in- cludes His whole ministry of service and suffering which had its climax in the Cross. The Cross represents the utmost sacrifice of Love. That is the point of Matthew. In the above cognate texts, Christ is represented as entering the “holy Of holies,” of . giving His life to God to obtain “eternal redemption” fer us, or “to purify unto himself a people.” This interpretation conforms to the Bible teaching on sanctification or trans- formation. See Remans 12: 1- 2 and Colossians 1: 24f. After all, salva- tion does not depend on an ability to analyze and interpret all the mys— teries of God. Just a growing like- ness to Christ through the spirit of the Cross of love, makes one a Christian. ‘ ' t' * III ' Please give me your view on the Sabbath question. The Sabbath principle, as calling - for- one rest day in seven, is coeval With creation.

M‘flm : queulom regardlng rellalous mutton you would "he answered wrlte l 0 Rev. A personal reply wlll be sent to you diated through Moses, Exodus, chap- ters 20-20, and ratified through Moses’ symbolical blood. Ex. 24:1-8. Christ has supplanted Moses in a New Covenant mediated through Him. Heb. 3:1f. The Old Covenant was nailed to the Cross. Col. 2:14- 15. The Sabbath institution, as a. part of this covenant, went with it. Jesus, as a Jew, ‘kept the Sabbath, but the New Covenant He taught and observed daily. In His teaching there is no commandment to keep the Sabbath nor even the first day. Therefore, Paul, the great inter- preter of Christ, says, “Let no man therefore judge you in respect of a. sabbath day.” Col; 2:16. And, “Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.” We keep the first day, or Sunday, as a memorial of Christ’s resurrection and our deliverance from sin, because the first Christians established the custom. Jno. 20:19- 26; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2. The edict of Constantine in 321, that cer- tain classes should observe Sunday . as a clay 6f rest, establish the popularity of this day and, give it a legal standing. Revel- ation and experience teach the es- sentiality of a weekly day of rest and worship. *Let us‘ hold it fast. What is your *explanation of 1 Cor- inthians 11:5 and 6? In explanation of 1 Cor. 11:5-6 I have this to say briefly. First, the chapter is not without its difficulties. Yet there are some things that ap- pear quite clear. Chapters 11-14 have to do with proper social de- corum in public worship. The wo- man’s dress came in for considera- tion. It must be understood that when a woman appeared in public apart from her individualism and as a member of the social group or as— sembly, she must have her head cov- ered as a sign of decency and re— spect. To have shaven or cropped hair was the mark of the captive, and of disgrace. Compare Deut. 21:11-12. Now some of these Greek women became Christians and members of the Corinthian. church. As such, they seemed to misinterpret Paul’s teaching that in Christ there is no male or female, and began to assert their equality with man in public by throwing off the social badge of privacy and subordination. This was socially dishonorable in that day according to St. Paul. The apostle would be all things to all men that he might save some. He was wise has done much to‘ Gospel to prevailing social customs that were in themselves harmless, he could best further the Kingdom cause. Women have a right to pray and prophesy, but it must be done in . social order to be Christian in spirit. But the man, also, is held to orderly ' worship. Of. 1 Cor. 14:28. * * " Now, it is the judgment of the writer - that we have no occasion in our day to perpetuate the head covering for women. _The Christianity of Christ must not be encumbered with anti- quated customs. Yet, the scripture in question does emphasize the principle of social modesty for all women. Verse 15 is ever modern in its rebuke of shingled and mannish women. Long hair and modest dressi ing are distinctive marks of feminine glory. The United States leads the world in fur farming with 2,500 fanners,having an investment of $30,000,000. According to experts at the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, a hen may react to serum Agglucination Test for Bacilliary White Diarrhea and still not lay a single egg affected with this disease.

"The Farm Paper of Service” MAKING HISTORY EARLY four hundred and thirty—five years ago Christopher Columbus, an adventurer, sailed from Europe with three frail vessels and 120 men to discover new lands. People called him a fool and they ridiculed his ideas but he was not influenced by their chidings. After more than two months of sailing on uncharted waters, suffering many hardships and disappointments, he sighted a new country, our own America. On May 20th of this year Capt. Chas. A. Lindbergh, another adventurer, a young American scarcely 25 years old, started from America alone in an airplane to fly to Europe. Like Columbus he was called a fool but failure was not in his makeup and he met all their objections with a smile of confidence. Thirty-three hours and twenty min- utes later he brought his plane to a stop on the land of France and Capt. Lindbergh had proven that it could be done. We wonder what Columbus would say if he could come back to this earth and read of the man-made bird that required less than a day and a half to accomplish the thing that took him over two months to do?

INCREASE DEMAND BY ADVERTISING NATION-WIDE campaign to raise $4,000,000 to carry on a national advertising campaign for a period of four years will be under way by July 1st, according to Paul C. Stark, president of Apples for Health, Inc. The campaign is to sell apples, regardless of varieties, brands. grades, or what part of the United States they come from. If the opinions of some of the bean interests in Michigan were heeded nothing would be at- tempted, but viewing the success of the cam- paigns put on to increase the consumption of oranges, raisins, pineapples, bananas, and other fruits, the sponsors of the campaign in the in- terest of apples have plenty of reason to believe they will succeed. There is no question in our mind but what the campaign will be a success, and we stillbo- lieve that the bean interests of Michigan made a serious mistake by not taking kindly to the idea of advertising Michigan beans. Perhaps some day they will realize it. GETTING DRIVER’S LICENSE E have been criticised for advocating the idea of making the license of the automobile driver good for only one year, requiring him to renew it annually. A recent investiga— tion in this State showing that many inmates of insane asylums are holders of permits to drive automobiles strengthens our belief that we are right. If every operator of a car had to renew his permit annually or lose the right to drive we believe that such a condition would seldom exist. DEATH VISITS BATH SCHOOL E heart of Michigan bleeds for her citizens in the vicinity of Bath, Clinton county, since death, the grim reaper, in the form of a demented farmer, visited their consolidated school on May 18th cutting short the lives of nearly two score of children and injuring as many more. Farmers and their wives were the chief mourners, some of them losing their only child, many losing two, and one lost three. How even a crazed maniac could tear out the hearts of mothers and fathers in this way to avenge a fancied grievance against tax collectors we are unable to understand. . An investigation revealed the great need' of finanacial assistance in many of the homes. Also the school must be rebuilt and the cost charged to the already over-taxed land of the community. A movement was started to seek financial aid from all who cared to help But before this had gotten fairly~under way Senator James Couzens of Detroit came forward with the offer to per- sonally pay all funeral expenses and for the re- " ‘1 Au:- >3,; "<2, ' ~ ' I ‘ Mill ’ {/{Z/HI l/l [Ail/:1 4/I/1f Ill TURN OFF THE WATEnl building of the school. Sen. Couzens never in- vested money any place where the dividends were greater than here—dividends of greater happi- ness by relieving the burdens of the needy. Michigan thanks him from the bottom of her heart. PASSED a—CENT‘ GAS TAX BILL N spite of all that was done to try to get our lawmakers to put aside the Leland three—cent gas tax bill and vote for one that made the gas tax four cents, gave us permanent license plates on pleasure cars and. continued the weight tax on commercial cars and trucks only, Gov. Green was able to whip enough of them into line to defeat the one we hacked and put the Leland bill across. However, the issue is not‘dead yet. Plans are under way to circulate petitions to se- cure thirty thousand signers requesting that the matter be submitted to the voters. VIC'I‘IMS OF FLOOD HE south is suffering from the greatest flood that the people of this country have ever witnessed. here as you .have all read about it in the news- papers. However, we do want to say that funds for relief work are needed badly and the 'wido'w’s mite will be appreciated just as much as the rich man’s check. Any sums that our readers care to send in will be placed in the proper hands to be used where they will do the most good. PLENTY OF 001w BORER FUND HERE seems to be a rumor circulating about the State that the money to be used to pay farmers for the cleaning up of their corn ground to get rid of the corn borer has been exhausted. The is wrong according to Mr. A. C. Carton, State official a lot of money if any of my herd reacts,” he said. “And another ’ thing, why can’t I have a veterin— arian from my home town do the testing?” The first impression one gets of the campaign does indicate that the owner of reactors is a heavy loser but with substantial salvage pay- ments for the carcasses of his ani- mals and federal and State indem- nities the ultimate loss is not much after all. Records kept by the State over a period of years indicate that the average net loss to the owuer of a reactor is about $3.30. That is taking into consideration returns on both pure bred and grade. This surprised our friend. Then we surprised him further by informing him that he could em- ploy a local, approved veterinarian if he wanted to, as far as the State was concerned, just so he'got a permit from the State, but he would have to pay all costs of the test and then if he did have any reactors he could not get the fed- eral indemnity. The State indemn- nity could be secured but the fed- eral indemnity is-forthcoming only when tests are conductd in accord- ance with the official plan.

FINANCIALIS'I‘IC DEBATER I am enclosing a clipping of a brokers paper which has been sent to me for some months. Can you tell me if the Financialistlc Debater is a reputable weekly paper?—G. T.,‘ Ingham County. HE F‘inancialistic Debater was incorporated in September of 1926 with Edward _V. Noonan, President; Matthew S. Leonard, Treasurer, and Joseph B. Enos. They were called on by representatives of the Boston Betted Business Bureau who requested information which has never been received. Also several communications have been addressed to the corporation, to the individual officers and directors, as well as the editor and they have been complete- ly ignored. This publication is a tipster sheet. In its first issues it carried the state- ment “It may be mistaken, at times, because no human judgment is in- fallible. Its opininons, however, are to be considered only as such, but are honestly given, and with no other purpose than to keep the in- vestor, trader, and speculator in a financial path with a sure footing.” A short time later the statement ,was changed to “Its expressions of opinion on any security or securities, therefore, .may be affected by its own financial interest in certain mar- kets or securities." As we understand it, they have been constantly boosting the stock of 8. Butte Copper nsolidated Mines Company, M listed in the B_os- ton Curb ange, steadily urging e0 16 to b it. p Plersonallylywe view the advise of the Financialistic Debater and other tipster sheets with a great deal _of suspicion.

Since then he has re- ceived six dunning letters requesting him to forward a dollar or return the ties. Apparently "Paunee Bill" is trying to collect another dollar to make good for one he lost some place else.

Dixon apparently planned to operate along the same line as the other two con- cerns already out of existence be- fore he started up. He was ready to accept orders for “three dozen oranges and one dozen grapefruit, delivered, prepaid, for $2.00" but he was unable to show investigators that he had made any arrangements to fill the orders he received.

LAND BANK OFFICIAL HELD UY HUSTON, president of the Chicago Joint Stock Land Bank, which has a capitalization of $65,000,000 and claims farm loans totaling $50,000,000, has been ar- rested and charged with using the mails to defraud. The charge, it is said, involves the organization by him of the Farmers’ Fund of Illinois, Inc:, the Farms Company of Massa- chusetts, and the Missouri-Kansas Farms Company of Kansas City, Mis— souri, all concerns which were to assist the farmers in secondary financing. It is alleged that buyers of stock were promised that their investments would be returned to them through dividends accruing from the purchase and resale of farm properties. This and other state— ments which the government charged were false were sent through the mails.

ORIGIN OF BRIDAL SHOWER HE first bridal shower, history discloses, was staged in Hol- . land many years ago, when the father of a beautiful girl, who had j given her heart to' a poor miller, “forbade the marriage and withdrew the dowry she was to have had. Friends of the couple gathered to- gether, however, and showered her with gifts, thereby providing a finer dowry than her father could have , presented. In this fashion did the bridal shower originate and as one of the customs brought down through the centuries, this is a ,‘charming way for friends and ac- quaintances to present gifts that would seem too trifling if they were given individually. Showers for the bride of today are given in connection with a bridge party or luncheon. When a lunch- eon is to be served, the hostess is desirous of something dainty and tasty. The following menu and re- cipes are suggested. Menu Creamed Chicken in Patty Cases Rolled and Open Face Sandwiches Strawberry Ice Cream Angel Cakes Mints Nuts Coffee RHUBARB . THE rhubarb season has arrived and there are so many delight— ful ways of serving it. I wish to mention a few. Slice one pine- apple, peel and ~cut small pieces. Cook in a pint of water, to which 2 cups of sugar had been added, until quite tender. Then add 4 cups more sugar and enough sliced rhubarb to make. 4 quarts. Cook slowly about 1 hour. Put in jars and seal. Equal parts prunes and rhubarb, cooked separately, combined and sweetened to taste, makes a pleasing sauce and also a very good filling 'for pies. Everyone, I suppose, makes rhu- barb pics, but how many have dis- covered that the addition of a few tablespoons of cream to each pie makes them more delicious? Never peel rhubarb for any pur- pose. Cut in thin slices the desired amount for pics, add sugar to taste (at least 1 cup to each); 1 table- spoon flour and 3 or 4 tablespoons cream, sweet or sour, to each. Mix well before dipping into crust—B. O. R., Gratiot County.

I know she would like that best, for the other day We were gazing in a shop window and she remarked that she would love to have some of these new labor- saving devices in her kitchen." “Well, that’s settled, girls, you'll all come around to a party at my house one night next week and each of you must bring the newest sort of kitchen utensil you can lay your hands on,” said Dora, “something inexpensive, but practical.” The bride-to-be was the guest of honor at the party and great was her ' delight when she commenced to open one parcel after another. and found to her surprise all sorts of- things that would add to the com- fort and cleanliness of her kitchen. One girl had thought to ease Gladys’ dish washing labors by pre- senting to her a wire scourer on a wooden shaft, a mop for washing dishes and a wire soap saver by means of which odds and ends of soap can be used up. Another useful gift was the very latest in omelette pans with a tray for poaching two eggs at a time fixed into the top. No kitchen is complete without a set of measuring spoons, so another friend supplied these. This cute little set is fixed together at one end andhclosesds-onespoon when-fin Two .girls had clubbed together and their gift was a most useful meat mincer. One brought a vege— table chopper, another a handy ap- ple corer, while another brought a useful little potato parer. Knowing Gladys had a great lik- ing for salads, another girl gave her a wire basket for draining lettuce, and an aluminum cutter for slicing eggs. There was also a jolly new-fash- ioned egg beater that looked as if it might do its job in the twinkling of an eye. Another handy thing was a per- forated cooking spoon. This ‘saves much time and energy when beating a batter, creaming sugar and but- ter, or whipping cream, and is also invaluable for removing food such ~as poached eggs or vegetables from a panful of liquid. , For washing days was a small sprinkler for damping down the freshly dried clothes ready for iron- ing. A good thing about the sprink- ler bought is that it will fit over the neck of a bottle used to hold the water. Another gave her a set of cookie cutters in odd shapes—diamond, heart, round and square. One - brought a chain pot and pan cleaner and a tarbox cotton dish mop on strong twisted wire with wood handle, and last but not least was a can opener and corkscrew combina- tion. . “There is no excuse for my not .being the perfect houseWife, " said Gladys with a laugh.as asshe thanked her friends and parcelled up all herb 3‘ gifts. —-w¢11 Winner in The Net’s We? sled ”toy” ' - havesotlmtyoucencutonefor our» self if you will drop me a line request- ing it.

He does not criticize his partner for real or supposed errors, but gives him credit for his good plays. 3. He does not blame his "bad luck" when losing. 4. He does not audibly congratulate himself on his “good luck” when winning. 5. He does not, in bridge, continually irritate his partner by over-bidding. ti. He does not play erratically, so that his partner is at a loss to know what he really holds, and then reprove the latter for not winning. 7. Playing a "lone" hand is a bridge rudeness. 8. He must subordinate himself to the aim of winning the rubber. 9. Aflections of manner: exultant ex- clamations, card-table drumming, noises. using wds as facial massage accessories. etc., are all tabooed by the well-bred player. 10. It is illmannered for anyone to i play for more than he can afford to lose, even though he does not disclose the fact. unless it is certain that he will be the only one to suffer thereby. 11. Never should a player afflicted with a poor partner, make him plainly aware that he is so regarded. 12.

Using - every Ladle pohnible to win his fight, the political boss starts out to look up the character of these people's candidate and finds that he made one mistake when a young man. ‘A great detective discovers the "”one mistake he made-but in order for them to use it to destroy the reputation of the people’s candidate, it will be neces- sary that they secure the names of the other party and the only one to know it is the telephone girl as she has the num- ber which the man called. The political boss tries to buy it from her but she re- fuses to give him the information. This is an extremely interesting story and re- quires excellent acting of such stars as H’olbrook Blinn, Lawrence Gray, May ‘Ailison, and Hale Hamilton who assist Miss Bellamy. r— The Runner’s Bible that heated thon 4p “~A-M- gens-lama cam on 6.. that a lady would like to have an onion pie recipe.

The Missouri Pacific L1nes, for instance, maintains a corps of experts who are working ceaselessly to assist the people in the territory served by our lines to bring about proper agricultural development. This one branch of special service alone reaches into thousands of communities and includes expert assistance in standard— izing and marketing as well as in the field of production. Another corps of experts devote their time to bringing about industrial develop- ment. Any person, group or industry can have the assistance of these men for the asking. So can any community. And the entire Missouri Pacific Lines organization is ready to help in every possible way at all times to bring about further develop- ment in any community and along any line that offers hope of success. There are in the Missouri Pacific Lines organization experts who are helping to bring together the producers and consumers of raw materials and this stafi includes such experts as a geologist. We are proud of the fact that Chambers of Commerce, civic organizations of all kinds and state-wide and nation—wide organizations call on us for assistance and co- operation. This includes such vitally necessary work as taking to the people who need it most demonstrations and information regarding such things as malaria and typhoid control, etc. We are proud of the fact that agricultural organizations of all kinds call on us for assistance of every conceivable nature and most of all we are proud of the fact that somewhere in our organization there is some expert or someone who can be of assistance to any firm, individual, community, industry, or organization in need of help. That is why I say that the American railroads are super-service institutions. And I want to add that we are glad that we are able to be of service to so many in so many ways. It has been said that “the measure of a man's bigness may be counted by the little things he is willing to do.” Our ambition is to be the biggest railroad in the World, judged by that standard. We seek the opportunity to be of service in any way we can in addition to providing adequate and dependable transportation for all the traffic that is offered. I solicit your co-operation and suggestions. President Missouri Pacific Lines “A Service Institution” Destroys barnyard an'd ‘ body odors—kills germs. Heals and soothes. for sweaty feet.

Cough Gone! Sufiferers who seem to be strugglin in vain against asthma or severe broncbia coughs, will be interested in knowing how Mrs. Blanche Young, Route 5, Sheridan, Ind” found lasting relief. She writes. “I had asthma for 15 years, and each year I got worse. Durlng the winter months I would often sit up until two o’clock in the morning—my breathing was so bad I couldn’t lie down. I had no appetite and was so weak from coughing and Wheezing I could hardly walk across the room. I never expected to have anything more than a little tem- porary relief, never expected to be well again, and was fe fully blue and dis- couraged when I hap ened to read in a. newspaper what Naco had done in other severe cases. I tried t as a last resort. I commenced taking acor Nov. 17th, Wednesday noon, and by Sunday I was a different woman. My asthma and cough grew less stedily. I haven’t finished my second bottle, but my cough has left me. I'm sleeping fine and eating heartily, and my asthma is entirely gone.’ Hundreds of just such positive state- ments have been made by other sufferers, telling how their asthma and bronchial cough disappeared and never returned.

EAR girls and boys: I have just received a letter from the pres- ident of Our Club, Mildred Darby, of Standish, telling me that she has organized a local club in her community. They have eighteen members and the offiCers are: Jack Bukoski, president; Bernice Darby, vice president, and Mildred Darby, secretary. She tells me that not all of the members get THE BUSINESS FARMER so she takes her copies to the meetings so that all can read them. That is a real good idea I think, don’t you? All of. the mem- bers are to receive buttons and cards because they want to be mem- bers in good standing. This is the first branch club I have heard of. No doubt there are more but the, officers have been so busy getting their lessons so that they will make their grades they have not had time to write me. Well, I am waiting to hear from all of you. If you have not tried to organize a club yet you can do so at any time, but there is no time like the present. Remember, do not put off until to— morrow what which you can do today. Send in the list of names of the members of your club and I will see to it that they get cards and but— ton. Also if you haven’t joined The Children's Hour Club you are wel- come at any time. All you must do is take the pledge and then send in two cents, cash or stamp, to pay your initiation fee. The next mail will bring to you a button and a beautiful card With our motto print— ed on it.

There were other animals to see, tigers, lions, polar bears, seals, ponies, pigs, camels, zebras, monkeys, and leopards. The clowns were very interesting and so were the performers. It was very hot in {the tent but it was raining outside. 1' The dining tent was large and it had many tables that had blue cloths on. The negroes did the cooking and in the laun- dry tent there were men who were wash- ing and ironing, and in another tent they shod horses and work horses were kept. The men were cutting the horses maneo 011' and shoeing them. The circus crew had their own horse doctor and a. man who was mending har— nesses.

The cow tester, Jens Hansen, who has served this association for the great- er share of the three years, reports that the 389 cows averaged 8,991 pounds milk and 351 pounds butter- fat. ~ The Isabelle-Mt. Pleasant Cow Testing Association at the end of the first year reports that the following herds averaged 300 pounds or more of butterfat: Bert Bozer, Joe Gruss, McNamara Bros., 'Ona Beltinck, R. V. Hoyle, Emery Bros., Johnson Bros., Ned Roundtree, Paul Mossholder, Lewis Coon, S. C. Forney, P. G. Hills, W. C. Getchell, Ottis Tripp, Alva Smith, Preston Johnson, and C. W. Hunter & Son. - The fourth year of testing work has been closed in the Livingston Cow Testing Association according to Charles Metz, ’cow tester. The aver- age production of the 254 cow years represented in the results is 10,213 pounds milk and 369.9 pounds but- terfat. More than half the members have alfalfa seeded on their farms. There are 264 acres seeded to this crop and 67 acres of sweet clover. The AlpenaeLeer Testing Associa- tion has successfully concluded three years of record keeping. Lester Kent, the cow tester, shows that six of the nine herds which made the 300 pound butterfat average during the testing year concluded in De- cember 1926 have been under test for these three years—A.

BADGLEY of Jackson has added a fine six months old bull calf to his growing Holstein herd. He purchased this calf from R. P. Ullman of Manchester, Michi- gan. The calf is a. rugged Well- developed son of Ormsby Sensation 41st, who is by Ormsby Sensation, the renowned sire of great producers and out of Okl Pontiac Hockster, one of the greatest daughters of Ormsby Korndyke Lad. The dam of this young bull is Reekdale Lula Ormsby who has two very excellent 7 day records made in heifer form and is now running on year work twice a day milking and producing a very creditable record. Every dam "in this young bull’s five generation pedigree has an ofiicial record and this young- ster will, without a doubt, do his share in the herd development pro- gram that Mr. Badgley is working on. $55 COW INCREASES NEARLY 000 PER CENT , N increase of nearly 600 per cent over the purchase price repre- sented the sale of a grade Hol- stein and calf owned by Albert Haagstrom, Gaylord, who belongs to the Otsego C.

I l i ‘3}- 113 W 1 w(Continue returned to the States, they -W0uld be giving up the results of their years of effort, and returning-to their native land with nothing which could be converted into cash across the Rio Grande. ’ . We listened attentively to this \seemingly justifiable complaint from these fellow-countrymen of ours and it was therefore with the utmost pleasure that we listened-in on the address by President Coolidge to the 'United Press, shortly after Our re- turn in April, in which he stated that an amicable settlement of this dispute had- been made by our gov— ernment which would guarantee the payment of these Mexican bonds to. our citizens who peacefully thus sur- rendered their lands. No one who has been in Mexico can be without sympathy for the present government and what they are trying to accomplish in breaking up these gigantic estates. In one es- tate there were nearly two million hectares (a hectare contains prac— tically two and one—half acres). There are more than a hundred with over a hundred thousand hectares each and the American publisher, William Randolph Hearst, owns 507,000 hectares in one piece! In contrast to these vast areas under the ownership of one man are the fourteen million native Mexicans, who do not own an acre of land and who have been dependent, for nearly four centuries, on the charity (?) of the land owner, who by a Well— organized system of operating a store, a saloon and a gambling- house at each hacienda, kept the peon forever in his debt. Whether or not the present Mexi- can government under President Calles in enforcing the 01d laws (which Diaz and others have only temporized with) has taken the right method to reach the goal of farm-ownership, is a much—mooted question, but that they deserve the! helpful cooperation of our govern— ment to that end, must be apparent to every American who to-day visits Mexico. These same Americans at Manuel, with whom we talked, had only the kindliest words for the native Mexi— cans and really showed a senti— mental attachment for their adopted land, which, if the choice were left to them, they would prefer to see unchanged. Tampico “Cosily nestling in a sunny corner of one of the most opulent of the Mexican states, with an astonish— ingly fertile tropical country at her back, a sea of golden oil beneath her feet, a sempiternal blue sky above and a broad ocean teeming with fine fish at her very door, Tampico pos— sesses advantages greater than those of a half—dozen other Mexican cities combined!” That is what one guide— book says and because we were there on a Sunday and the sky was blue, we have to take the author’s word for the other advantages which Tam— pico boasts. Tampico was to us the least Mex— ican of the cities we saw south of the line and the gigantic oil tanks, which are stretched as far as the eye could reach in every direction around the harbor, are undoubtedly the answer. Here for many years have come the ships from England, Germany, Holland, France, Italy and the United States to suck into their empty bellies the crude-oil on which mankind is today so dependent. What Mexico has had in return for this draining of her greatest natural resource, I had not the time to discover, but it is a perfectly safe wager that had she received a fair compensation for every gallon of the priceless liquid pumped from her bowels, the present poverty of the great mass of native Mexicans would not be so apparent. But that is the history of natural resources in coun— tries which boast of a. greater en- lightenment than poor MexiCo! That the present government should be trying to retrieve this loss by regu- latory laws is not surprising, and that the foreigner refiners, who have so long had, the advantage of little regulation should not be in- dignant at '_'this curtailment of. their .ipa‘rent. . . I , ‘ . k from Page '4), privileges, seemed .rto us -.g_ui_te. up? .. : mug-1‘ ’.. Little oil was going out 'of Tamr pico When we were there the last of ' March. The overproduction Of crudesthroughout the world made it easy for the operators to stop pump- ing and close their refineries as a. gesture, of defiance to the Mexican government. We heard in Tampico that oil—boats had, for years, made. a practice of smuggling in arms and ammunitions on their return trips, for the purpose of supplying any re- volutionary party, which would show signs of strength enough to over« throw the present government and thus put the oil-refiners back on “easy street.” That is an ugly story and one that we would hesitate to. repeat excepting that it might help. to explain where the “outs” in Mexi~ co get the wherewithal“ to carry on a military campaign against the. 1" 1115.” A Mexican Agricultural School It was in Celaya, that we first met Luis L. Leon, Minister of Agricul- ture, in the cabinet of President Calles, and visited one of the four agricultural schools which are being- completed in this country. Their plans were explained to us by Enric ' Muris, director of this school and a. graduate of Texas Agricultural Col—- legs, a native Mexican, and a class- mate of our own Cully Cobb who af- fectionately recalled his college, nick-name “Mex.” These schools are exclusively for the purpose of educating the boys of Mexicon peon families in the modern practices of agriculture and animal husbandry. The boys are brought in, bright—eyed and willing to learn, but about as near the lowest step on the ladder of education as it would be possible to get. Their work is divided into half days; a half-day in the field for every half-day in the class—room. A plan which doubles the teaching capacity of the school and helps to make them self-sup- porting. “We want these boys to go back to the neighborhoods from whence barefooted they came to us, as examples of what education will do,” said Mr. Muris. “We Want them to go back and teach their own people the kind of farming we have taught‘ them. We do not ex-', pect them to wear white collars and pose as experts who are afraid to soil their hands. We want them to, help their own people and we are, going to help them get started on land of their own by loaning them the capital, through our cooperative, banks to buy the equipment they. need. In these boys you see the first chance which has been given the; Mexican native since the Spaniard Cortez, landed here at the beginning of the fifteenth century!” He then brought out a boy and showed us his sandals, worn through, in which this lad had trudged through desert and over mountains for nearly a hundred miles simply because he had heard of a school “Where he could learn something!” “And he was taken in with no other, credentials than this worthy ambi- tion. ‘ Most of the boys who come, see for the first time the most common‘ of our present-day conveniences. The ordinary cook—stove replaces- their mothers’ heated stones; the' plow takes the place of the sharp‘ stick; a bed with white, clean sheets replaces the hard ground with only' a blanket. When the school opened they gave each boy a tooth—brush and a tube' of tooth-paste, but the sweet paste was too great tempta? tion, the boys ate it! The school at‘ Celaya would do credit to any part of the United States and was, with-' out a doubt, the most commendable and encouraging thing we saw in old Mexico.

Lately she eats all rags and strings or clothing she gets a hold of. She seems in perfect health. Could you ‘tell me if there is any help for it and what to do for her?-———Mrs. McC., Manistee County. HIS condition is known as pica T or depraved appetite. It is due to some mineral deficiency and I take it that this is probably phos- phorus and possibly calcium or lime. If you will give this heifer 5 or 6 tablespoonfuls of bonemeal each day on her feed for 5 or 6 weeks it should correct this trouble. Give this in a hex where the cattle can eat it at any time they want it while they are on pasture. This is getting to be quite a common trouble in many sec- tions of the country at this season of the year. If you do not correct this trouble you are liable to have considerable breeding trouble soon with your herd. MANGE Will you please publish recipe for curing mange on horses?—W. K., Omer, Michigan. F your horse is affected over much I of an area the only thing to do is to get some good stock dip and wash this horse as often and in the dilution that the manufacturer recommends. If but a. small area the following will do: Oil of tar, 5 per cent; Sulphur,,6 per cent; Ker- osene, 89 per cent. Paint this on once daily with a small paint brush. SCOURS , We would like your advice. We have a pet cat that has the scours very bad. We would like to know what to do for him. He is a young cat and is liked very much by the children, so We would like very much . to keep him.-—-Mrs. R. E., Daggett, Mich. IVE this cat very light feeds of fresh milk; in each feeding a “ tablespoonful of lime water; if this does not bring about a satisfac- tory change in 3 or 4 days, change and place 5 drops of formalin in each feeding of milk. REMOVE WARTS Will you please tell me what to apply on cows’ teats to rid them of warts? One of the cows has them so thick that they are in clusters and have come to her while she has been dry. She will be dry for an‘ other month, so this would be a fine time to apply the ointment on them. A. 8., Arnold, Mich. OR warts on this cow’s teats "4.1 would recommend the follow- lowing: Salicylic acid, 2 drams; collodion, 1 ounce. Apply this with a small camels hair brush once daily for one week.

This disease can not easily be cured once the vines become infect— ed but can usually be held in check if the following rules are observed. Do not attempt to grow cucumbers in ground which has recently grown cucumbers, melons or others of this family of plants.

But there’s never been a choice like Camel. , Camel is the most popular cigarette this nation ever had. Millions unite to place it first, and. there’s no com- parison. Camel is supreme. There must be reasons back of such a preference. There must be moun- ~ tain-high quality in this famous ciga- rette to make millions join in saying, "I will have only Camel.” That is true. Camel quality is just as supreme as its leadership. In Camel, no substitute has ever been made for quality. No compromise has ever been made with expense. For Camels, the country’s largest tobacco organization buys the choicest Turkish and Do- mestic tobaccos grown. There simply are no better tobaccos or blending. If you don’t yet know that supreme tobacco enjoyment, try Camels. All the taste and fragrance, all the mild and mellow pleasure you ever hoped to find! We invite you to compare them with any cigarette made, regard- less of price. "Have a Camel!” R. J.’REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WINSTON-SALEM. N. C.

But in a coun— ty like Oakland where thieves have been receiving all the way from one to fifteen years with the recommen- dation of quite a heavy sentence, this new bill will not allow them to deal as severely with the thieves as they would like to. (Continued from page 4) One thief in 101113. county stole $19. 00 worth of chickens and the court sentenced him to ninety days in jail, fined him to $100.00: and'as‘a. Four. men- in Van Buren county received sen-4' sessed costs of' $25.00. tences of from one to five years, and. there are other cases of severe pun- ishment, like is being handed out by the judges of Oakland county,irang- ing from one to fifteen years. On the other hand, we have before us a. case from Huron county where- - by a man pled guilty to a Charge of stealing poultry and was fined $14.45. Then we have another-in Van Buren county where the fellow spent fifteen days in the county jail and paid a fine of $12 40 plus the court charge. Not As Serious While the situation is not as seri— ous atf-persent as ‘it was six or eight months ago, there’is still plenty’t’tr- do. THE BUSINESS FARMER has paid out two rewards and at the present time is investigating several other cases. We are in hopes that our ef- forts along this line will do much more in the future than they have in the past to discourage the“ stealing of poultry, and we believewiththe assistance of our two new laws poul- try stealing will continue to show a, decided decline. AS we want to keep fully posted on the activities of the thieves throughout the State we hope you will continue to send in reports to assist us in following this matter closely.

It is the name of a farm of 2010 acres, just off the Orchard Lake road, two miles south of Or— chard Lake, in Oakland county. A large part of the income of this farm is derived from poultry, and thereby a story hangs. Believing that the hatcheryman who devotes his entire time to the production of high producing hens, yet does not force his birds for heavy laying during the winter months, and has all of the best of equip— ment to do the hatching is better qualified to turn out high grade chicks than they are, according to Manager Glenn '1‘. Elle, they pur— chased 3500 chicks from a Macomb county hatchery. These chicks were purchased May 12, 1926, and brooded in 12x12 colony houses, about 450 to a house. Within a. few days it was possible to turn them out in small yards as the wea— ther was warm and to this, they be— lieve, they can credit the very few cases of leg weakness they had. A total of 1640 broilers were sold from the flock besides 80 mature pullets in the fall, and 1400 pullets went into the laying house on Octo- ber 20th. Ninety-four eggs were laid the first day of November, and 13,- 804 during the month. The eggs produced during November from $224.06 worth of feed sold for $691.04 to a large lunchroom con-é cern. This concern takesall of their eggs and they are delivered twice a week by truck. In' December the feed cost went Part of the flocli o! Whit. 'care to . —M. G. up only $25.14 above November while 26,363 eggs were laid and they brought $1,487.96. Their records at the end of January showed 27,350 eggs laid during that month on feed costing $254.84 and they sold for $1,367.43. February’s record was 24,591 eggs, sold for $955.38, with a feed cost of $220.35. The complete record for the four months is 1400 pullets, estimated to have cost 90 cents each when put in the laying house, or a total of $1,260, plus $948.45 worth of feed, produced 118,621 eggs that sold for $4,511.81. Subtracting the output from the income you have'$2,303.36 left over. All feed, producedon the farm or purchased, was charged at market value so that the figures would be accurate. “We feel that the success of this flock was due largely to the excellent chicks we had to start with and to the expert care and feeding of Mr. Thos. Powell, formerly with the lay— ing contest at M. S. C., Ells. “The chicks from the start were never pampered, nor have the hens b’een. They have had plenty of good feed, and during the summer the range of a 20-acre orchard. After the chicks were three weeks old they were turned loose with free range. running water and plenty of shade."

W. FOOTE, Market EditOr. , HE weather is the main factor in affecting the crops that will be grown on the farms of the United States this year, and it has been of paramount importance as the spring has advanced, as a late spring has caused apprehensions in an ex- tremely large part of the country, farm work being seriously delayed by the almost incessant rains and by an unseasonably low temperature in the middle west, as well as else- where. Of course, by far the most (‘overwhelming disasters to farmers have taken place in an enormous re- gion of the south, where the unpre- cedented terrible floods made havoc with the country and effectually blocked all possible chances of grow- ing any crops worth mentioning this year at least. Enormous sums of money must be spent for the rebuild- ing of the dykes in several great agricultural states, and great num- bers of farmers will be obliged to borrow money from the banks to pay for seeds and to tide them over to next year. Northern and western farmers have been in many instances perplexed to know what course to follow in seeding and planting, but in the more favored districts where the weather was favorable such work was rushed without thought of time, tractors being worked day and night in many instances. Where rains were most persistent many grain farmers were in doubt whether or not to do the usual seeding, and to some ex- tent other things were substituted, soy beans being planted more largely here and there. There is a tendency to diversify the crops more than in the past, but Michigan farmers show no disposi- tion to curtail the wheat area, and probably corn will always be the great grain crop of the country, since it is the principal feed for live stock. In the long run Wheat is a good crop to raise, and so are corn and oats. Many farmers intend to hold their marketable corn until the next crop is raised, and much infer- ior corn is being fed on the farms of th country. Boom in Grain Prices After waiting for many weeks, farmers who had nearly lost hOpe of any important betterment of prices for corn and the other grains have been taken by surprise because of the recent great changes in the great markets of Chicago and other cities of the United States. It is due of course to the floods and incessant heavy rains in most parts of the country which have kept farmers from the fields and seriously delayed seeding and planting in most dis- tricts. With a large part of the United States and Canada still wait- ing for planting, it looks like a re- duced grain acreage in the aggre- gate, and this has stimulated the speculation in Wheat and corn es- pecially, and aggregate sales of the two cereals on the Chicago Board of Trade reached the largest propor— tions seen in many months. A short time ago wheat soared to a new crop peak when it sold at $1. 55, but broke later the same day to $1. 50. 011 that day thero was a panic on the Winnipeg market, with sales of May wheat at $1.60 to $1.70. Corn, oats, and rye sold at the highest prices on the crop, May corn soaring to about 93 cents, comparing with 69 cents a year ago; oats to 50 cents, compar- ing with 40 cents a year ago; and rye to $1.201, comparing with 87 cents a year ago. These prices are interesting as comparisons with those of last year. Exports of wheat have increased of late materially, and big exports of rye have reduced the visible supply in this country to 4,803,000 bushels comparing with 11,812,000 bushels at this time last year. Cattle Wanted for Grazing I No thrifty farmer likes to see his green pastures going to waste for lock of, W tenors, sows; sachet:- » time since grazing became good there has been a good demand in the Chicago market for thin well- bred cattle to ship to the surround- ing country. Early in the season ruling prices were low, particularly for rather ordinary lots, and plenty of bargains were picked up, even choice kinds selling comparatively low, and undoubtedly many owners of such cattle will come out with handsome profits when the time comes to return them to market as fat beeves. Stockers and feeders Chicago at, $7.75 to $9.50, compar- ing with $12 to $14.50 a year ago; $10.15 to $12.25 two years ago and $6.40 to $7.50 three years ago. Farmers have lost faith in the hog market. Hog marketing at packing points for the year shows a gain over last year, but far less than for the preceding three years. Light hogs are the highest sellers. A GLANCE AT THE MARKEIS United States Department of Agricul- ture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, by Market News Service. ARM Markets took an upward turn 1n May. Corn advanced 18 cents. Spot cotton at near 16 cents was within two cents of last season's price. Wheat rose on poor crop reports, taking the other grains and mill feeds along. 1 L M. B. F. MARKETS BY RADIO UNE in the M. B.

The wave length is 270 meters. purchased more recently sold at far higher prices, most owners much preferring to finish them, as the out- look appeared to be bright for choice fat cattle. Stock steers of quality have been really scarce much of the time, and between the small offer— ings and the high prices asked by sellers, shipments to farming dis~ districts fell off considerably much of the time. There are reported to be fewer cattle ine th country than a year ago, and the reduced farm hold- ings are reflected by the smaller re- ceipts in the markets of the country this year than in recent years. Fat. Cattle Sell High Fat cattle are still bringing un- usually high prices, and recent sales were made on the Chicago market of beef steers at an extreme range of $9 to $13.85, largely at $9.50 to $12, with heavy lots going‘the high- est and best yearlings at $12.25. Fewer cattle have arrived in western packing points this year than in re- cent years, and the profits on well fed kinds are greatly increased. A year ago steers sold at $7.50 to $10, two years ago at $7.75 to $11.60 and three years ago at $6.75 to $11.50. Fat heifers sell at $9.50 to $11 and stockers and feeders at $8.35 to $10.25, chiefly at $8.65 to $9.50. Dairy cows are active at $90 to $115. Cattle hides are much higher, selling at about 4 cents more than a year ago. Much larger receipts of hogs have put prices still lower, with sales in Planting is late in the grain country of the United States and Canada. Beef cattle touched high point of the season. Carlot supply of potatoes and cabbage was a bit light and prices rose sharply. Even the apple market gained a little. Butter was a slightly weak feature be- cause of increasing supply. There was little change in eggs, cheese, and mis— cellaneous products. ‘ Grain Grain markets have felt the effect of cool, backward weather in the United States and Canada. The new Argentine crop' is also delayed by weather. Both wheat and corn reached highest points of the season toward the end of May. Good export demand is reported for hard winter wheat at near $1.50 per bushel. Corn planting is late and it seems that only a long favorable season will insure a full crop. Prices are 20 cents higher than a year ago, most of the advance taking place in May. Market supples seem moderate in quantity. Oats, rye, and barley shared the upward movement to some slight extent. Mill feeds, espec- ially gluten, hominy, and cottonseed, were inclined to rise with the grain. Some of the demand has shifted to wheat shorts and middlings which have not gone up much. Hay markets continued dull and nearly unchanged. Livestock Beef cattle, long the weak feature of the livestock market, have been reflecting the better underlying conditions, chiefly the limited number available and in pros— pect. Some lines, since the middle of May, have touched highest point since war times. Hog prices find some difficulty in holding near $10 at Chicago. Sheep and lambs tend lower but spring lambs still bring good returns.

Pot-co co Potatoes and cabbage have been strong features of the vegetable market. Old potatoes toward the end of May sold above $3.00 per 100 pounds and new above $4 in producing sections. The prospect is for moderate supply in mid-summer, owing to some frost and flood injury in southwestern sections and a slightly back- ward, uneven crop in parts of the East. Potatoes look well in Virginia and New Jersey, two leading late summer states. Cabbage has been short because of the drought in southeastern states.

Week of June 5 AINFALL will be light during early part of this week al— though a storm center will be just leaving the stats about Sunday and another will be coming in close to the middle of the week. However, the big feature of the unsettled weather conditions early in this week will be the high winds that are quite apt to do some damage in scat— tered counties. Rainfall will become more prom- inent about Thursday or Friday with some rather heavy downpours. The week ends with high winds, thunder .storms and scattered showers or 10— cal rains. Week of June 12 The unsettled weather, thunder showers and winds of last week will run over into this week in most parts of Michigan. As these conditions continue through the first half of the week the temperatures will be rising. By the middle of the week and, past the temperatures will be much higher. While the sky will be mostly clear about Thursday, the latter part of the week will be cloudy, unsettled with t h u n d e r showers locally. Were We Right or Wrong?
