Today’s Pontiac Six is the
finest Pontiac Six ever built.
Not merely does it offer the
fashionable smartness of
Fisher bodies in new Duco
colors, but it brings to the
buyer those many refine-
ments which have been made
in Pontiac Six design since
the first Pontiac Six was
introduced.

Although the original Pon-
tiac Six was such a revolu-
tionary value that it set a
world record in the number
of buyers it won during its
firstyear—

--the Pontiac Six you buy
today is even smoother- in
operation, even more sparing
in the attention it requires,
even more luxurious and

according to an announcement by:

specialists from the agricultural en-
gi caring and home economics de-
partments. -

Farm" women want to know first
how to make their home more at-
tractive for their families and sec-
ond how to save themselves steps
and effort in performing their house-
hold work. Questions on attractive
floor and wall coverings were' the
most numerous of the queries an-
swered by the specialists.

Exhibits of septic tanks for the
disposal of the household wastes,
and economical methods of install-
ing water systems were also magnets
that assisted in bringing 4,032‘people
to the 116 meetings held during the
tour. The truck visited thirteen
counties during the summer.

Through the cooperation of the
State Board of Health, 635 samples
of well water were collected for an-
alysis in the state laboratories. Re-
ports of the results of the analysis
of each sample ,will be sent to the-
person interested.

The economy of space used in plac-
ing the exhibit of bath room fixtures
in the truck convinced many people

that they could install these’ fixtures _

in their homes without expensive alt-
erations of rooms in their homes. ‘

SEVERAL INTERESTING RELICS
NE of'our Gratiot county sub<

scribers, Mr. P. H. Estes, has

several old interesting relics in
his possession. Among these is a
Bible dated 1766. The old book is
in fairly good condition. Another
one of these relics is a ballot box

which was used at the first election/

ever held in Isabella County. This
was in 1855 and Kingsley S. Bing-
ham, first governor of Michigan, was
elected at that time. Still another.
relic is an ear of sweet corn that Mr.
Estee's sister had at the time of her
death which occurred in 1862. This
ear of corn has been kept in .the

family ever since, and is just as hard -

as flint. He believes it. is the oldest
ear or c‘orn in the State and is won-

Washtenaw County Farm Women Desert Families
By PROF. MARION R. HOFFMAN

Home Furnishing Specialist, Michigan State College

WESTERN UNION TELEGRAM:
Try—Rural Women of Washtenaw County,
Camp Newkirk, Dexter, Michigan

Men and children of Washtenaw county
starvingl Women gone to camp.
Signed—Social Service Committee

HIS message was received by the"
53 women at .Camp Newkirk
near Dexter, Michigan. These
women, who came from all parts
of Washtenaw county, camped five
(1 a y s beginning
August 15, at
the Washtenaw
county Boy Scout
camp on- the
banks of the
H u r o n river.
They left their
cares, children,
and even their
grand children
and threshers at
home; packed
their bags, and
came to enjoy their vacation.

This was the fourth and largest
annual camp for the rural women of
Washtenaw county and was organ-
ized by Mr. H. S. Osler, county agri—
cultural agent. Since Mr. Osler is
the county representative of the ex-
tension service of the Michigan State
College, part of the home economics
extension staff was called upon to
assist with the program. Mr. Osler
and the camp cemmittee, which was
composed of Mrs. Eugene Strang,

 

Prof. Hoflman

Wire. Albert Koch, Mrs. G. V. Cook,

Mrs. Howard Ball and Mrs. Fred
Leverette, planned that each day and
evening should be full of worthwhile
things for the women. As the fol-
lowing will show, their days together-
were divided into a time for study,
a time for play and a time for rest.

On Monday, August 15th, the
camp began with the enrollment of
the women and the assignment to
their tents. Musicka talk by Mrs.
Louise H. Campbell, state ,home

Mr. Alex MacDonald of Honghton Lake,

had three valuable ducks stolen, but the

fifty dollar reward he received from M.

B. F. paid for them twice over. With

him in this picture is Mrs. MacDonald
and their daughter.

’IFTY dollars for three ducks!
i That’s a pretty good price, isn’t
" it? Alex MacDonald, of Hough—
ton Lake, had three that he got that

- much for, and he still. had the ducks
although they, were dead. However, ,

these were not ordinary ducks.

T'They 'were domesticated Mallards
“which he had trained for the duck

hunting season on Houghton Lake,

T end he declares they were the finest

. , that he has ever owned. ,
‘mnald had about ten of.
cits which he prized very

regulations, were interesting to the .

women and kept them from being
homesick. That evening some camp
rules were formulated. The most
important one was that the camp
should be quiet from 9:30 at night
until 7:15 o’clock in the morning.
Tuesday morning the women Were
given a glimpse of New York City
by Miss Dundas who had spent the
past year there in study at Columbia
University.

All recognize that the home is an
important factor in the lives of every
one, and that a beautiful home does
much to influence the members of. it
favorably. Lamp shades give touches
of beauty and “hom-i—ness” to a
room. The women were interested
in making them and spent parts of
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
in this work, and in making braided
rugs. Since the color and the de-
sign of both the braided rug and
lamp shade are important, instruc—
tion was given in these as well as in
the construction of the articles. This
study was conducted by Mrs. M. F.

Hoffman, Home Furnishing Special—‘

ist, Michigan State College. As a
result of this work thirty—five lamp
shades were made, and many braid—
ed rugs started, which will; be fin—
ished at-home.

Did everybody Have a good time at the \Vashtenaw county women’s camp? If they“
did not it was their own fault because there was something doing every moment.
you see the “girls" enjoying a. few moments play.

Mrs. Maria Peel, Friend of the
Circuit Court and Probation Officer
of the Juvenile Court, gave an inter—
esting talk on . “Delinquency in
Children” Tuesday afternoon. She
expressed the thought that if there
were more groups of women like this
group of campers, who were really
interested in studying home prob-
lems, there would be less work for
the courts of the county.

Features on Wednesday

The special features of the Wed—
nesday program were the demonstra-
tions in the afternoon which were
given by Miss Mary 1. Barber and
Miss Ina Lindman. Miss Barber is
from the Kellogg Company of Battle
Creek, and gave a talk on the use of
honey in cooking. She pointed out

ming on a trout stream which runs
through the MacDonald farm. Two
strangers, who claimed to be trap—
pers, parked their. Ford car near the
house and set out to follow this
trout stream. This made MacDonald
rather uneasy about his ducks, so
he followed the men’s tracks in the
snow to the spot where the ducks
had been. But where were the ducks?
All that was left was blood upon
the snow and blood stained clubs
lying nearby. .. MacDonald at once
returned to the car, took the license
number, and then waited for the men
to appear. When they finally came,
he spoke to them about what he had
seen and suggested that they had
done away with the ducks. They
were indignant and threatened to en—
gage. in fistic combat.

As MCDonald had no proof that
they had stolen his ducks, he let
them drive way and then followed

their footprints back to where they _

had dressed three of. the ducks and
buried them, in the snow. Cracked

corn was found in the crops of the

ducks which proved that surely they

back and buried the ducks in the

car from another direction.
MacDonald returned to the house
and notified his father—in-law, Dr.
:Sturge, owner of the farm, who came
out with Deputy Sheriff Lockery
early the following morning, March
23. After investigating they found
that seven of. the ten ducks in the
stream had been scared away, but
had returned during the night.
Evidently the thieves thought that
three ducks would be plenty for one
meal.

thoroughly, and, then returned to

spoke about honey being an energy

it gives minerals to the body as well
as producing energy and heat.

The need of a beauty specialist
after a strenuous week at camp was
anticipated by the committee. Miss
Carrie C. Williams, clothing special-
ist from Michigan State College,
came Thursday afternoon to talk on
“Good Grooming.”_ Friday she gave
talks on “Personal Grooming” whi
included the care of the hands an if

twine and pay one-half of thresh bill?
Kindly let me know what is rulable.

—F. B., Pierson, Mich.

OUR adjoining neighbor would

ICE DOES NOT KEEP

I am keeping my ice in under the
barn bank grade in a place once in—
tended for a root cellar but being
so cold in there in the winter I put
the ice in there for two years, but it
melts so fast. I put up 80 cakes last
winter and did not use more than
25 as it melted so fast. The walls
are all four sides concrete and even
a cement cover on top, it being air
tight with a, dirt floor. What do you
think, can this place be made to
keep ice or will I have to build a
new ice house ?—H. M., Pigeon, Mich.

O prevent ice from melting re-
quires that 'a mass of ice be
surrounded by some kind of in—

sulating material. This may be built
into the wall of the building or some
temporary material as sawdust plac—
ed between the building wall and ice.
Concrete is not a good insulating
material. If you use approximately
a foot of sawdust around the ice and
a_ foot or more over the top, yOu
should be able to keep ice in the root
cellar.

There are two other requisites and
these are that the space above the
ice should be ventilated and that you
have drainage beneath—F. E. Fogle,
Assistant Professor of Agricultural
Engineering, M. S. C.

MEASURING HAY

How can I measure a mow of hay
in the barn? The dimensions of the
mow are 32 ft. long, 12 ft. wide and
12 ft. deep. How many square feet
does it take for a ton of hay? It

——J. F. M., Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

HE rule for measuring hay in a
mew is to allow 500 cubic feet
per ton. Allowances should be

made for the kind of hay and the

length of time that it has to settle
and the amount of hay piled above.

YELLOW BOOKS FOR GREENS 2

Can you tell me whether the dock,
called yellow dock is poisonous when
used as greens? We have always
used curled dock and regarded the
other as unfit for use. But recently I
read in a farm paper that it was good
fer greens. The dock to which I re-
fer is much like the curled dock but
the leaves are more of a reddish tinge
and the leaves are straight or very
slightly crinkled at the edges. Its
Habits of growth are much like the
curled variety.——A. E., Traverse City,
Michigan.

N reality the, yellow dock is the
I same as the‘curled dock, Rumex
crispus. The plant you referred
to as yellow dock is Rumex obtusi-
folius. This dock has a, larger broad—
er leaf and is often slightly tinged
with red; it is sometimes called the
broad leaf or bitter dock.

I have never heard that the broad
is poisonous, in fact I
should be inclined to think it could
be used as greens, though the narrow
leaf or curled leaf dock is the one
usually picked—H. T. Darlington,-
Assoc. Professor of Botony, M. S. C.

of our com fields. There are thirty
acres and it was very discouraging to
see the condition the crop is in. The
leaves have a yellow look and are all
rolled, and the plants are dwarf. A
few ears have set but it is a foree
gone conclusion that unless a miracle
happens there will not’be any corn
worth husking. It will be large
enough to cut with a corn binder
and that is more than can be said
of some fields in the neighborhood.
One man has fifteen acres that had
to be replanted and is therefore very
small. , He wants to know how he
can cut it as he is sure it will never
be tall enough for a corn binder to
cut. Several years ago I saw a man
out a field of undersized cbrn with
his grain binder. I am sure if we
had such a field we would try the
grain binder. If the ears are not too
large, (and they won’t be) the ele—
vators will handle it in good shape.
Everyone is saying they will not
raise corn next year, they will raise

barley and oats. But next year I
expect to see just as many corn fields
as ever.
barley and oat crop failures than I
have corn crop failures. Here in
this section our land is not'what you
would call exactly suitable for bar-
ley.. Yields of fifteen and tWenty
and twenty-five bushels are to'o nu-
merous. There is no money in a
barley crop that won’t yield more
than that. An article in yesterday’s
paper was advising the farmers who
have no silos to “build one at once
in order to save the corn crop this
year Which is sure to never mature.”
I might suggest it wouldn’t take a
very large silo to hold the average
farmer's crop this year. No, the
crop canhardly be expected to be
very large in size, but the fodder
may mature and be all right for
shredding or feeding in the bundle.
Fact is, this undersized corn crop has
a' better chance of becoming ripe
than many large crops we have had.

Plunging ’

The other day I heard (it a man
some six miles from here who had a
wheat yield of forty-eight bushels
per acre. That interested me and I
wanted to know how many acres he
had. The answer was, three. How
did he' get such a yield.

He top dressed it heavily with
stable manure. Now what should
he do? Well, what would most
farmers do if they grew forty-eight
bushels of wheat on an acre in a
three acre field, Wouldn’t they want
to put in twenty—five acres this year
and plan on forty-eight bushels per
acre. Sure they would. .And would
they get it? Sure they wouldn’t!

A few days ago James and 'I went
to see a man who had forty acres of
early potatOes» this year. That’s
quite a large acreage of early spuds
for this neck of the woods. Well,
how isthe crop? “Sorry to say it's
almost a failure, if not quite.” “How
did you happen to plant so~ many
early ones?" “Why, last year I had
a few acres that were fine and paid
big, so I allowed I’d raise forty acres
this year.” Isn’t’ that just like us
farmers? Yes, and not only farm-

ore, for I have known factories to do

the same thing. and go broke! Have
in mind some factories which were
very successful—couldn’t keep ‘up
with their orders. Well, these fac—
tories built larger ones, increasing
their capacity so all orders might
be filled, but about that time "there
were not so many orders. received,
and the old factory could have easily
handled the business, but the large
new factory, with it’s enormous over-
head charge sent the whole thing to
the bow wows. No, let’s farm for
bushels and not for acres.

’A friend was telling me how much
money he made on one acre of pop-
corn, and, as he had a large farm,
I asked, him why not grow twenty
acres of popcorn as twenty times the
amount the acre produced would be
a small fortune. His reply was,
“No,_ the one acre is a. fact; the
twenty acres would be a fallacy.”
But I reminded him that figures
won’t lie, and he replied, “No, fig-
ures won’t lie, but liars will figure.”
So that’s that.

Smntanheat

In a letter just received, a sub-'
scriber complains of almost a total
failure of a wheat crop because of
smut. It also stated the seed
weighed sixty pounds per bushel.
Well, the fact is, smut is something
that may possibly develop in any
grain field. We do not know as much
about smut in grain as we do some
things, but we do know that smut in
oats or wheat will, in all probability,
cause the crop grown from them to
be smutty, unleSs they are treated
before sowing. The fanning mill
may blow out all the smutty ker-
nels and the seed wheat may be
heavy, but the smut spores are there
by the million "just the same. If your
wheat contains smut, better sell it
and get some clean seed.

TEXT: “But grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18.

‘L'ONG the foul and fishy-smelling
shores of the Galilean lake
walked the Master of men many

days ago. Strange that he would
seek disciples among the unlikely
and profane fisher—folk. But he had
been up to Jerusalem to confer with
the big preachers and the popular
church folks, and they would have
none of him. These city folks reck-
oned they were whole; and anyway,
an upstart Country ‘Physician could
not help them any. This exiled Jesus
among the humble whose hearts
were less spoiled. “And passing

along by the sea of Galilee, * * * *

he saw Simon casting a net into the
sea. Said he, “Thou art Simon:
thou shalt be called Peter’ Now as
this aged apostle looks back over the
years, he reports that it took a life-
time of hope, of persecution, and of
climbing to make a Peter out of a

transformation a growth :sf'tn the

and Savior Jesus Christ: _.

There were good possibilities for
growth in Simon. 'He was rough-
hewn, profane, and tempestuous;
but he was honest. He had a mind
open to better things. Hence, his

mind was changed. He repented and ~

started to grow. Jesus brought him
new hope and showed him new
meanings in life, and he followed

him. Of course, he stumbled, but
what of it? He got up again and
went on. The spiritual heights set

_by Christ were so attractive to him,

that he must scale them. Threat-
ened, flogged, and imprisoned, he
followed in the blood tracks of his
Master. He was sincere and was
ready to be lured away from a life
of sin into something good and good
for something.

Are you honestly ready? Is the

the sky of truth for new visions.
Now what are you going to do with
such people? Nothing. They are
past help and hope. Mrs. Church-
worker said the other day, “I am a

mind is nigh closed to new points of
view . Her church is about two hun—

this by centuries. So, to get back
to Christ is to meet the challenge
of a- new Gospel; new to modern life.

This is to grow and regain our para-

dise. But lives that are custom—
hardened and closed to new outlooks
cannot grow. Why waste time on
them? They are fossilized and must

Every day Peter realized that there

was something around him and in?

him that Was coaxing the best out of
him. This was the presence and
spirit of Christ. He said that he was
not worthy of it, and bade this

Love cling. In the atmosphere of
this “grace” Peter got his chance
and started to grow like Christ. But
this chance is open, to all. Clarence

have little or know control. Some

To grow into this grace is first to
confess Christ. Peter did this.
Have you? But to confess is to live
and fight for him. The world needs
this righteousness. But are we con-
cerned? Or are we satisfied with‘
just Sunday church pews and pious
hymns? And to grow into the grace
of Christ is to repent. This started
Simon to grow intoia Peter. And

Peter kept on repenting and grow- ,
he denied Christ in a'

ing. Yes,
crucial moment. But what do we do
when we drive a sharp bargain, when
our coarse life wordlizes our child-
ren, when we indulge in forbidden
social pleasures, and when we fail
as financial trustees of the blessed
Gospel? Verily, you and I say in
such practices, “I never knew him.”

We are down with Peter. But Pe—
ter repented and kept growing.
Have we? But again, are we carry—

ing our cross and following on? This
is to grow hi the grace of Christ.
“If any man would come after
me,——” but find it yourself and read
it and digest it. You don’t know
where it is? Well, there are multi-
tudes of such disciples. Many of

. us have become so self—stuffed and

sufficient that we do not care for
this old teaching. It has become lost
to us. "Do you see many modern
Christians carrying crosses? The
Gospel essential of, self-denial is
treated as a religious joke by much
of American Christianity. How much
is your car investment? To what ex-
tent have you renounced money and

‘ pleasure to help your neighbor carry
his cross?

While you stuff yourself
on three meals a day, have you really
cared for the homeless and starving?
Did it ever strike you that to grow in
the grace of Christ is to deny YOUR—
SELF? The grace of right living
Christ is ready tcr impart to all who
care for such refinement. -

And we are to grow in the “know—
ledge” 01 Christ. Not so much the
knowledge of 113 words or any word
or creed about him. But the know-
ledge of the person of Ch'rist. Acts
4:12 says of Peter and John, “they
took knoWledge of them that they
had been with Jesus.” Our Chris-
tianity stands in need of a better so-
quaintance with its Founder. We do
not know another until we live with
Him. We may meet Him daily and
pass the common animations, but
that is not to know Him. To know
Jesus is to have more than a paying
acquaintance with Him. This is Why
He asks us to come in and any with
Him. Friendship is p r o n o t e (1
through eating and living together.
or course, we must know the words
of Jesus, but to appreciate and ap-
ply these truths is to know they are
charged with spiritual power to fel-
lowship with the Author. . .

(Continued from August 27th issue.)

“ E put up a good fight, yes, sir,” he
W declared: “but what could four of
us do? They killed poor Gus—I
saw that—and maybe Pete and Jim; any
way they have not turned up yet. I got off
in the brush and looked back, and there
they were driving off our wagons as cool
as you please. How many? Fifty, anyway,
I should guess. Paint and feathers and
war whoops. They can talk about there
being peace with the Cherokees, but I
know!” -

Sawyer looked serious. He was a tail,
blue-eyed fellow. with a bold enough air.
but Duncan saw his eyes rest on his
daughter and knew what was troubling
him. She saw it, too, perhaps, and so
spoke up. , '

“But they wouldn’t attack .a big train
like this, with four wagons and-lots of
men?”

Orchard Shook his head.

“Only two fighting men, sister," he cor-
rected. “Our German friends here won’t
do any shooting." ,

“Three," she said. “Duncan can shoot
like everything. I can, too, a‘ little.”

Duncan felt a-great warmth sweep over
him. At that moment, he could have
prostrated himself at her feet. He did
nothing of the sort, of course, but only
sat still and looked peculiarly blank.

“Only two rifles, tho," Orchard com-
mented gloomily.

Brother Steiner, with some embarrass-
ment, :began to speak. There were two
muskets in his wagon, he said. These
were, of course, intended only for game.
Yet, if his friends desired to 'borrow them,
in kindness he could hardly refuse.

"G—ive one to Sawyer and one to me,"
ordered Orchard. That'll give us two
shots each. The young uns can help us
re-load,if it comes to that."

Duncan set to .work dressing the buck I

shortly after that, and the girl came and
sat alongside. It was a bloody and rather
grisly job, and she shivered appropriately
for a minute. ISOOH, however, she was
deep in the story of the newcomer. He
had been with a party, surprised this side
of August Court House._ He thought his
assailants were Indians: her father was
not so sure. Anyway, since the raid had
just been made, they ought to be pretty
safe. The Indians or robbers wouldn't
try it again right away, would they?

“Might,” said Duncan, and went on
stripping off the hide.

It was exciting, tho, wasn’t it? They
had always lived east of the Susquehanna,
she and her father, but land was too high
there, so he had sold out and was going
down the Dan river. -

"Agnes!” called her father from their
wagon.

She jumped up and put her hand on
Duncan’s head. _

”What pretty hair!” she commented,
and then went on with a rush: “I’m so
glad you’re a little boy. I’m practically
grown up, you know, and if you were a
big boy, I’d have to act very much grown
up. But this is more fun."

The little boy was not so sure that he
liked this. He went on working as he
thought it over. Part of the buck he left
to be cooked the next day. A good part
he jerked; cut into long, thin strips and
laid over a screen of green withes over
the camp fire. He turned in finally, to
dream that he was a tall, thin man with
a terrific black moustache and bearing a
girdle of Indian scalps, so fresh that all
of them dripped with blood.

It was a nervous outfit that broke
camp the next day. By noon they
would pass the scene of the robbery and
murder of which they had heard. The
sole survivor of that trouble had gone,
headed back north to civilization.

Duncan had a hard time with himself.
He wanted to sink back and play the
dullard; he feared that the men were be-
ginning to suspect him of being older
than he seemed. Yet at the same time he
wanted badly to have Agnes Sawyer think
him quite grown up and able.

The second desire won. He could not
bear to sit in the wagon and let the girl
see him there. So he went to the head of
the line and begged the use of a rifle
again. Orchard turned him down. The
musket he did finally offer, but Duncan
declined it. He went on ahead unarmed,
turned back into the woods two hundred
yards and began to travel on a line paral—
lel with the road but some distance ahead
of the train. ‘ ,

He found nothing, and indeed, ran his
only danger when he popped out of the
brush suddenly and startled Orchard into
snatching up. his rifle. This was in the

— , SUMMARY or s'rony’

UNCAN McAFEE, an orphan, from Bethelehem. Pennsylvania, going on

seventeen, is going to North Carolina to live with his uncle. Traveling by

wagon train, encountering bill sorts of dangers, he has a real thrilling‘trip,

and proves that “seventeen is grown up” by saving a fair young lady from

bandits who attack the train, killing most' of the people and carrying her of!

into the woods. The journey from' Bethelehem to Frederickstown was unevent;

ful but a little beyond the latter place they are Joined by the Sawyers. a girl

about Duncan’s age and her father. A bedraggled stranger came into camp at
the close of the last installment.—Editor.

early afternoon. They came prese tly t2

 

 

 

 

Their experiences were not rated very
highly at Staunton, they found. To their
story, the tavern keeper remarked dryly:

“There’s a pack of liars a'broad these
days. He got a good meal from ye, I’ll
venture.”

Another gentleman who was smoking
a pipe by the fire seemed to think it a
reflection on the section to intimate that
robberies were possible.

“Up north it might have happened,” he
commented, “for there’s ‘Dutch and Irish
and all sorts of outlandish people .there,
but not here. The Scotch are not, the
kind to sneak up on a body and scalp
him. That would be work’ for Irish or for
Cherokees, maybe."

Sawyer asked if the robbery reported
might not have been the work of Chero-
kees. The Scotch gentleman, whose name
was McLane, was very scornfui of that
suggestion, too. .

”We have too many rifles here, sir,"
he declared. "They tried that once back

‘ in ’65, and they have never been back.

The \Scotch, sir, are wicked fighters, with
claymore or the rifles, what differ?. And
the McLanes,” he added, “are not a bad
hand with either.”

Sawyer said no more. Both he and
Orchard began to be a little ashamed of
their fears. Duncan listened to the talk
for a while and slipped ‘back to the'
wagons.

Someone was stirring around in the
back of the Sawyer wagon. Duncan sat
down and observed it. Presently the'.
canvas parted. ,A slim leg reached out
tentatively; its mate followed. Then the
boy saw a crumpled mass of skirts ap-
pear as the possessor wiggled_on her

, stomach over the end of the wagon box

to the ground.

It was the Sawyer girl. She shook her
skirts down and looked sharply around.
Duncan, somewhat scandalized within,
met her gaze calmly. She looked pro-
voked at first, and then laughed.

“They’re dreadful unhandy after iag- '
gin’s,” she admitted; "but Dad said that
I coundn’t parade around in my boy
clothes. Come on; let's see the town."

There wasrlittle to see. The tavern, a
few stores, a clump of log houses, a block
house with palisades around it, made up
the total. They went to the end of the
main street, swung around by the backs
of the houses and came back around the
side of the tavern. As they turned the
corner, a man almost ran into them. ' He

gave an exclamation, turned and walked .

quickly away.

“Wait here," Duncan ordered. He slip- .
ped after the man. The fellow looked
back, quickened his pace and turned into
a cabin a few doors away. Duncan came
back to find the girl gone. He found her
at the wagons a few minutes later, and
was surprised to find her very distant.

She didn’t like, it seemed, to have boys
giving her orders. Duncan remembered
that his tone was somewhat peremptory.
He did not think the point yworth arguing;
there was another thing on his mind. He
went to Brother Steiner.

“You remember that fellow who trav<

.eled with us out of Mecklenburg?" he

asked. “I think I saw him in town."

The news seemed to mean nothing to
Brother Steiner. He was too happy in
thinking that the dangers of the trip were
over. Duncan tried Sawyer with no bet-
ter results. The boy was not willing to
risk being laughed at by saying outright
what he feared, and the man hardly knew
what he was driving at.

They got in a good bit of travel before
night. Duncan suggested that it might
be well to mount guard. The men laugh-
ed. Orchard said:

“You do it, sonny."

He did exactly that. When Orchard was
asleep, he took his gun from where it lay
beside the man, shinned up a tree a. little
back from the fire and sat there in the
crotch till morning. Nothing happened.
He climbed down, but not quite soon
enough. Orchard saw him and laughed
at him, and then spoke harshly about his
taking his rifle.

They took the left road' when they
reached the forks. The day was unevent-
ful. Duncan dozed in the wagon. Once
in awhile he was called out to help with
the wheels when the wagon got stuck on .'
a steep grade. There were lots of them.
The road went straight up and-then
straight down. There was more timber,
too. and fewer farms. On the Whole, it

was the wildest. country which‘they had A

. EAR EDITOR: I would like a
line of two in your paper if’ you
will permit. I just gave oneof

your solicitors a three—year subscrip-
tion‘ to your MICHIGAN BUSINESS
FARMER and after finishing a hard

‘ day’s work I am reading the sample

copy he was kind enough to give me.

Now, I would sure like to meet up
with “Mother of Seven and a Busy
Farmer’s Wife of Eaton County” as
she sure did hit the nail on the head
when she described the bean and
vegetable diet, also oleo that us
farmers have got to “stumick.” It
is us poor devils that work for the
butter and the city man who is ever—
lastingly kicking the farmer, that
eats it.

It isn’t only butter. How many
farmers are there who will kill a
prime steer for his own table? Not
very many as the .way prices on
clothes, machinery and everything
else are we must sell the prime steer
so .the city man may have a good
morsel so we can buy these necessi-
ties to keep up the good work.

. ' I, for one, sure do enjoy going to

“my city friends once in a while to

~eat a meal as he always has such

good things to eat which I help grow
but cannot afford to eat at home.

Hoping to see the day in the near
future where the farmer will be put
on an equal footing with his city
brother, I am, a farmer—W. E. W.,
Branch County.

\ MORE ALFALFA
EAR EDITOR: Michigan should
produce much more nice quality
of alfalfa for the Eastern and
Southern trade. The first cutting
should be cut in season and well
cured, using the side delivery rake.
This turns the butts up to the sun
and prevents over curing the finer
tops and this process also causes the
leaves to adhere to the stalks much
better than when cured otherwise.

If the State of Michigan does not
give attention to this, other states
will rapidly step in and take the
market which you are at present en-
joying: There is. no general hay
crop that will pay better than alfalfa
and ‘while they feel that they have
increased the acreage the increase is
entirely too slow for the most eco-
nomic interest of the farmers them-

*‘ selves and for supplying the market

, as needed.

V This report comes from an eastern
dealer who has handled hay for over
35 years and is very familiar with
the dairy trade requirements. Cali—
fornia alfalfa is seeking New Eng—
land markets and on a lower basis
than last year and has already made
quite a favorable impression with
the consuming trade. Michigan must.
wake-up faster than it heretofore
has or they are going to be the losers
by the delay.

Alfalfa should not be put in too
dry, neither should it contain too
much moisture. It is almost a fine
art to properly cure it but it is not
difficult to do When the weather pert
mits. Higher prices cannot be ex-
pected but a larger tonnage at the
present prices should be the ultimate
goal.——Wa1ter L. Mitchell, New
Haven, Conn;

GOOD INTENTIONS
EAR EDITOR: When we intend
to write Mother or Dad a letter
' or Old Aunt Lucy that spent a
week with us in the winter, who
amused you with her quaintness and
old fashioned ideas. Then we don’t.
And we intend to ask Mr. and Mrs.
Tom Smith and kiddies for a nice
chicken dinner to repay for the un-
expected dinner they gave us. Then
Mrs. Geo. Brown always gets us a
nice lunch when we spend the even-
ing with them and We’ll think,
“When the strawberries are ripe
we’ll ask them out and make a
shortcake and put whipped cream
on.” But do we?

“Didn’t Believe emsgxxx

It ould Be Done” Q

EN asked what he thought of the Oliver
Big Base Corn Borer Plow one farmer*
said: “I think it is the most practical and most
economical way of controlling the Borer. When
I was told that this plow would cover every stalk
and particle of trash in my field, I didn’t believe
it could be done, but they showed me. Now I
am convinced that it is the practical economical
way of controlling the Corn Borer.”

Actual experience with the Oliver Big Base Corn
Borer plow has opened the way to cleaner plow—
ing for thousands of farmers in the Corn Borer
infested territory. While many farmers bought this
plow for combating the Borer, they are realizing
more and more that it is ideally suited for general
field plowing. It puts all of the trash down where
cultivation does not drag it to the top. This makes
a remarkable difference when cultivating—there
‘ is no trash and fewer weeds to interfere.

Farmers outside of the Corn Borer territory have
been quick to recognize the value of the Oliver Big
Base Plow and are using it for all plowing purposes.

Before doing your fall plowing investigate this plow.
It can be furnished with horse or tractor power. We
know you will like its wonderful work. See your Oliver
dealer or write us for further particulars.

"The Farm Paper of Service"

 

BEAN MARKET IN BAD SHAPE
OULD you be interested in a plan to get
arOund $4 per bushel for your 1927 bean
crop and save the market at the same time?

Certainly the market needs saving. No one
can deny that. Neither the farmer or the eleva-
‘tor man has made any money during the last few
years. The weather took the‘ farmer’s profit,
while price cutting to get business left most deal-
ers in the hole, so the canners were in a position
to dictate the market which they did, naming
1their own prices and usually getting the beans at
that figure. Farmers, elevator men and bankers
have been hard hit.

Last year we were supposed to have a large
crop, a surplus, but apparently the trade con-
sumed them because they can not be found at
this time. Does that mean we had a surplus, or
doesn’t it? A month ago it was reported that
Michigan’s 1927 crop would total around six
million bushels, but the weather man has cut
that yield within the last thirty days by half.
This looks like a real shortage, but is it? Or
will it prove not much more profitable than last
year's crop, with the farmer unable to control the
marketing and elevator men trying to get busi-
ness through cutthroat methods?

Would it not be a wise move at this time for
the growers and-elevator men to get together and
name a committee to set a fair price for beans
and them work together to maintain that price?
If something is not done pretty soon both will be
bankrupt and the market gone to pieces. If you
are interested and would like to attend a meeting
to discuss the market and ways to get it back on
its feet please fill out the coupon published on
this page and‘send it in to us.

AFTER THE CHICKEN THIEVES

UR hat is off to Sherii! Wm. 8. Day and the
Midland Republican of Midland county.
Chicken thieves were especially active in that

county during a recent week, taking a total of
140 chickens from three poultrymen, which
caused Sherifi Day to offer a reward of $25 for
information leading to the arrest and conviction
of any chicken thieves in that county. Appreci-
ating the seriousness of the situation the Repub-
lican duplicated the sheriff”s offer, making the
reward $50.

Tm: anmnss FABMER is out to put chicken
thieves operating in this State out of business.
We have paid several rewards of $50 each and
are now investigating other claims which we ex-
pect will mean the paying of more rewards in the
immediate future. Just how many thieves are
behind prison bars in Michigan because of the ef«
forts of. M. B. F., both directly and indirectly, we
can not say but to set the number at fifty would
And slightly less than a
year’ s time has gone by since we opened our cam-
paign. We feel pleased over what has been ac-
complished but we have known from the begin-
ning. that it would be impossible to make this cam-
paign a complete success without the cooperation
of everyone concerned, which includes the farm-

‘ ‘ Tie Business fiamzer

Not long ago Mental, ,
cided to pay rewards of $100 so: the meat ‘
cnviction of chicken thieves and they paid one
curiug July to a. farmer who also won an M. B. F.
reward of. $50. Now Sheriff Day and the Repub-
lican have joined in the fight and we most heart-
ily welcome them.

We hope the day is not far oil! when the board
of supervisors of every county in Michigan will
offer rewards for the arrest and conviction of
chicken thieves. 'When that time comes most of
our chicken thieves will be going into other lines
of business.

 

WATCH THAT 111111.:

N the front page of the current issue of the
Arenac County Independent we read the
heading, “Bull Attacks Mt. Forest Man.”

From the article below this heading we learn of
how the bull attacked the farmer who wouldhave
been gored to death if it had not been for the
timely interference of the hired man. Perhaps
this hull was a valued herd sire of apparently
gentle disposition. The article does not state, but
most of such attacks are made by “gentle" bulls
in which the owners have unlimited confidence.
When a person is around a hull with a reputation
for being ugly he is on his guard, but when the
“gentle” bull goes on a rampage he is caught un-
prepared.

If you received as many different country week-
lies as we do and noted the number of headings
appearing from time to time, similar to this one
which appeared in the Arenac County Indepen-
dent, you would fully appreciate it is the “gentle"-
bullthat we must watch out for.

 

FEDERAL BEAN GRADES

EANS are being inspected in' the state of New
York this fall under the United States stand-
ards. Inspectors employed by the Produce

Exchange have done all inspecting work up to this
time and these same men are now being taken
into the employ of the government after having
received instructions on the application and in-
terpretation of the standards from federal offi-
cals. New York is a leading state in the pro-
duction of beans and a strong competitor of
Michigan.

When will we see Michigan take this forward
step?

 

FARM HORSESHOEING

HE automobile has claimed blacksmith shop
after blacksmith shop until folks have'begun
to wonder if it will be but a short time be-

fore farmers will be forced to do all of their own
horseshoeing. Looking forward to that time the
U. S. Department of Agriculture has prepared a
very complete bulletin on the subject. It is well
illustrated so that even the most inexperienced
can understand how to do the work. If. you wish
a copy write the department for Farmers’ Bulle-
tin No. 1535 and enclose five cents in stamps.
Additional copies can be secured at five cents
each.

 

BORER CON TIN Um WESTWARD

UR war against the corn borer has been a
very eflective one, but in spite of all our ef-
forts he continues his march westward to
the corn bolt. Latest news from the Michigan
battle front indicates that he has invaded the
counties of Clinton, Eaton and Barry and has
been found in practically all of the townships.

Where would he have gone to if we had not put ‘

on a clean-up campaign? We hate to think of it.

my «WI/M
1711111111:

Y wife held out for most a week, she got so
mad she couldn’t speak, a-argnln' where
we should go to rest up for a. month or so.

Her idea of a trip is that we’d go where all her
folks is at and sit around and talk and gas—n
week of that and I would pass away, I do not give
a whoop to sample Aunt Jane’s radish soup, or
visit wth her Uncle Bill, and hear him sit and
talk until I’m halt asleep, he’ll tell about him
havin’ his appendix out and how the doctor ripped
him wide and left a pair of shears inside.

So I Just stuck to my own plan that I got when
we first began to talk of takin’ this here trip to
try to cure Mirandy’s pip. We argued- back and
forth again until Mirandy, she give in and said to
me, “For goodness sakes, let’s take our trip up to
the lakes and if we find that Uncle Bill don’t
leave us nothin’ in his will, why, don't blame me, ‘
but fish away, that’s all you’ re good for anyway."
I grinned and didn’t say a thing, Mirandy likes to
talk, by Jing, but I knew all the while that she
would finally give in to me. So I got tell my
tackle out and fixed it up. I’ll put to rout than
he]: when I throw out my line, the biggest one.
will sure be mine!

' I see by the paper that faultfinders in France
are plannin’ to organize. I hope they don’t start
a world- wide organization’ cause they are trouble
enough now without bein' organized.

 

So many diflferent places about the country are
claimin’ Col. Chas. Lindbergh as a ”native son”

a man remainin’ a bachelor, claimin’ bachelor-
hood is suicide.

Q——____

The last week was a most unusual one. I didn’t

read about any automobile company changing
models or prices.

 

 

“Dress Was Golden 2, 000 Years Ago,” accordin'
to a newspaper headin’ . Prices now indicate the 1
manufacturers/aim t aware of the fact that the
material has changed and they ain’t so much of it. ‘

 

Ever hear this one? A young farm college1
perfessor asked an 01' farmer if he rotated his1
crops. The farmer didn’ t have any education to
speak of an’ wasn’t familiar with just what the'
perfessor meant but he didn' t intend to show his ’
ignorance. “Nope, not this year," he says, “I;
intended to but I busted the tongue outta my
rotster."

, J. 'L. Hazledine, reports there is
a man going about .the country

' selling mill end pieces of. linoleum

he claims to be of. certain 'lenghts.
He starts to unroll the piecebut stops
and rolls it up again, saying, “As I
am in a hurry I won’t take the time
to unroll the whole piece, but you can
see that it is all there alright.” Those
who take his word for it find it does
not measure up to specifications, and
those who insist on measuring it be-

there is “one short piece” in his as-
sortment.

“WORK-AT-HOME” SCHEMES

F we could find one “work-at-
home” scheme that would work
out half as well for the benefit

of our subscribers as the advertise-
ment or circular matter claims, we
would feel that we had accomplished
the impossible. If 'we could find a
concern operating one of these prop-
ositions that was sincerely inter-
ested in helpng the worker as well
as themselves the shock would prob-
ably be too much for us. And we are
not the only ones who are searching
for such a concern. The National
Better Business Bureau and the post
office department put on a special
investigation last winter and before
they got through more than a score
of these card gilding and home sew—
ing schemes voluntarily retired from
business. But every day sees a new
crop spring into existence.

 

CLIPPING NEWSPAPERS

I am enclosing a card that was
sent my mother and wish you would

let me' know just what you think

about it. Is it a money scheme or do
you think it is important? She has
made no reply and will not until we
hear from you.——Mrs. C. T., Chase,
Mich. '

HE card which our subscriber
enclosed was from the “Review
Clipping Service, Lima, Ohio,”

and read as follows:

“Dear Friend: I have an inter-
esting news article concerning (you)
which has appeared in one of the
newspapers. A clipping of this ar-
ticle will be sent to you by return
mail upon receipt of 25c.”

This is the old newspaper clipping
scheme, the secret of which has been

offered to manylof- our subscribers

for the small, price of $1.00. No
doubt, the “Review Clipping Serv—
ice” was “taken in” for that amount
or more and is now trying to get it
back from the public. Here is how
the scheme works. You send to dif-
ferent country weeklies throughout
the United States requesting sample
copies. Then you go through these
copies and clip out the personal
items. Next get a bunch of govern—

'ment postal cards and address them

to the different people mentioned in
these personal items, stating on the
card that you have a news article
concerning them which you will be
pleased to send them for a certain
amount of money. File away the
clippings, send out the cards, and
then await results. Some folks will
send in their money for the clipping
out of curiosity and then kick them-

some item that appeared in their
local paper considerable time ago
and which they care nothing about.
It is just a typical personal item that
appeared in the country weekly

bor, a trip to town, about relatives

not particularly interested.

MEREPRESENTS PARIS

A few days ago two men called at
our home and said their business
was to repair old sewing machines.
No matter how old the machine was
they said they had all the parts for
it. Well, I have a real old machine
that I know is no longer. made and
it struck me as being a little odd that
they could get repairs for it but I
thought they must know what they
were doing so I bought certain parts
for my machine paying double price
because the machine is no longer
made. As they were in a hurry to
leave I didn’t take the time to see if
the parts would fit until after they
had gone. Then I looked the parts
over and found they were for a new—
er type of machine, not mine at all,
and then I knew I had been stung.
Publish this in the good old M. B. F.
so that everybody may read it and
learn—Reader, Tuscola County.

HE old saw “Haste makes waste”
holds pretty true in this case
because if the men had not been

in such a hurry our'reader would
have tried the parts and found that
they were not what she wanted. Any
time an agent is in a terrible hurry
to close a deal and be on his way
look on him with suspicion. If what
he has for sale will bear close inspec—
tion he will want you to be fully
satisfied before you buy but if it
isn’t all that he states he wants to
get rid of it and be gone before you
find out all is not right. Moral:
Take plenty of time with the agent
who is in a hurry if you intend
to buy. '

DON’T ACCEPT CHECKS

E receive so many complaints
W about bad checks that we have
about decided one should in-
sist on cash from their own brother.
Well, maybe not quite that bad, but
certainly any transaction with a
stranger should be on 3. CASH BAS—
IS. Every little while we hear of
some man going about the country
buying poultry or farm produce and
paying with checks which are return—
ed later because of no funds. Many
folks appeal to us to help them but
what can we do? Unless they took
the license number of the truck the
fellow was driving there is no way
of finding out who the man was. And
even with that information how are
you going to locate him? He never
stays in one place long enough for
the ofliicers to get hold of him. Or
maybe the truck or the license plates
were stolen. The best way is to not
accept the check in the first place.

I received my checks at little over two
weeks later than due but in good shape,
however. Many thanks for your service.
I surely was worried. Yours for square
deals—Mrs. E. M., Delton, Mich.

I have received a. settlement of the ac—

Compnay and I thank you very kindly
for the trouble you have taken—A. J. S.,
Beaverton, Mich.

We surely do appreciate your helping
us in getting a settlement from
Seed Co. When they said they enclosed
a. check for the $7.50 it was not enclosed.
After I wrote you and you had time to
remind them it was ten days from the
date of their letter but this check was
not a duplicate and was made out the
17th instead of the 7th as they said. so
we are confident we never would have re-
ceived one penny of it had it ‘not been,"
for you. Do you wonder all our neigh-

MY. MOST HELPFUL HOME
FEATURE

y most helpful home feature has
M been an idea'that has enabled
me to get very willng help
from my little maids, of six and nine.
I wanted them to grow up to take an
interest in housekeeping and cooking
and not look on it as drudgery. It
is easier said than done, I’ll admit,

. but feel I am on the right track.

I had heard the usual murmuring
of ”the old dishes, nobody has to
wash di hes but us” and “what’s the
use of usting today, dusted. yester-
day!" “If we had pretty dish towels
like our dresses and yours we would-
n’t care, but just these old white
rags!” (Hemmed sugar and flour
sacks.) ' .

That gave me an idea. I looked
through boxes and trunks taking the
best from house dresses and aprons
——these I hemmed. It worked like
magic. They are taking so much
more interest and with great care
shine each dish!

I have just bought some flour

FALL AND WINTER COLORS
EW colors are appearing in the

 

shops. Women who plan fall
and winter wardrobes early
should be interested. One window
on Fifth Avenue features offee

shades—Java, Demi-tasse, and Cafe
au lait—the last a. creamy brown
bordering on beige.

Napoleon blue is the name given
to the bright blue we often call
“Royal" or “King’s blue." Many
wine shades are offered—Bordeaux
red being most important. Crim—
son leaf is another popular shade of
dark red.

There are various shades of a
rusty brown—sometimes called “cop—
per." These are difficult for the
eallow person, and should be used
with discretion. When there is a
tinge of rose in the copper, then they
are much easier to wear.

Black crepe satin, black velvet,
black georgette ’are shown every-
where and are worn by the young
and old, Black hats, too, are much

choice of the fastidious woman.
Many black coats are offered not
only in cloth with fur trimming, but
in all black fur. Caracul and broad-
teil are exceedingly good, and where-
as they were formerly worn by the
matron, theynre now‘choeen by their

Beige is holding its own. One finds
hats, frocks, and coats of this color.
It is a variation of beige that stands
at the head of the hosiery shades.
It may be, a little darker, or a. little
lighter or a. little rosier, but if you
look about you, you will see that
beige is more generally worn than
any other color for hosiery.

Just now one sees many all beige
outfits—hat, coat, frock, hose, shoes,
gloves, handbag, and often bouton-
niere as well. It is charming and,
like all blaCk gives an air of distinc-
tion to the woman who wears it.

Keep Pork—In the July 30th issue of
The Busines Farmer, Mrs. J. M., Mc-
Gregor, is asking help on keeping pork.
The following is a perfect recipe: let,
don’t let pork freeze before you ,salt. Must“
be well cooled, cut up in rather small
pieces and salt all over each piece, pack
tightly in good tight pork barrel. In
spring take out and wash and scrape clean
and put on some boards to drain. Take
brine and put in some large kettle or
boiler. Try with egg or raw potato; po-
tato is best. If it comes to top and floats
it is strong enough, if not put salt in
until it comes up, stirring all the time.
Clean barrel and repack meat. Boil and
skim. When brine is cooled pore over
meat. Brine must cover meat. You will
have to make more brine. full strength
until it bears up a. potato. Boil and cool.
Put double white cloth over and a cover
of wood that fits barrel and put on a.
weight or a, couple of stones will do nicely.
keep in light dry place. .Keep top of bar.-
iel well covered. Always keep pork under

rine. To fry cut in thin slices, put in
new milk over night and your men will
think you have fresh pork—Mrs. M. J. Z.,
Ypsilanti, Mich.

 

 

 

Making Cold Jum.——In answer to in-
quiry for cold jam. Use twice amount of
granulated sugar as crushed berries, stir
until all trace of grains of sugar are dis-
solved, put in glasses—L. V. C., Vandalia,
Michigan.

A Temperance Song.——I have often
thought I would ask you if you‘ could get
me this song. It is a temperance song
and if I remember rightly it begins like
this: “Far back in my childhood I re-
member today. The cot and the wildwood
where in pleasure I did play.” One
stanza begins like this: “I‘rememher my
children how they climbed upon my knee.
How they told their little stories when
their hearts were full of glee. But, alas!
I am forsaked, I am now without a home.
And I know it is all from drinking that
I wander alone." This is the chorus:
“Yes, alone, all alone, And I feel I’m
growing old. Yet I wonder, oh how lonely,
I am shivering in the cold.” The title to
the piece is “Shivering In the Cold.” I
would like so much to get the words to
this song and the music if possible.

 

There is another I would like to get. i

It is called “The Indian's Adieu," andbe-p
gins like this: “Adieu to the grave where
my father’s at rest, For I’must be go-
ing afar to the west.”——Mrs. W. 1-1., St.
Johns, Mich. ‘ g

Table Service.-—_-Other methods of serv-
ing ”meals. In. general there are two
other methods of serving meals, the Com-
promise and Formal. Under the compro-
mise method some serving is done at the
table and some serving from the side.
'The father might serve the meat at the
table and the vegetables might be served
from the side by a 'maid. The dessert
,may- be served from the table or from the
side. The compromise method may be
”used for serving all the meals in, the
home and it combines quite successfully
formality with the family participation.

Under the formal method everything is
served from the side, nothing from the
table. This method of table service is
used at very formal luncheons and din-
ners.

 

 

. Favorite Songs

 

 

IF I ONLY HAD A HOME SWEET
HOME

'Twas a party for the little ones,
And ere they all could go, ,
They sang a song of home sweet home,
The one we all love so.
Without a ragged child looked on,
His heart so lone and sad.
He never had a home sweet home,
Mid sobs and tears he said.
, Chorus:
If I only had a home sweet home,
Someone to care for me,
As all the other boys and girls.
How happy I would be.
A kind papa and a mama dear,
To call me all their own.
This world would be all sunshine if
I had a home sweet home. '

The little ones now homeward bound,
So happy and so free.

The ragged child still wanders round,
No home sweet home has he,

No cozy little bed for him,

The cold, cold ground instead.

And as he lay him down to sleep,

So mournfully he said.

Motto: DO YOUR BEST

Colors: BLUE AND GOLD

EAR boys and girls: Vacation

days are coming to a close and

most of you are again back in
school. How I envy you! .School
days are the happiest days of one’s
life and the older one grows the
more they realize it.

At this time of the year many
years ago—I hate to think how many
———I too gathered up my books and
with dinner pail in hand started
down the dusty road to school, a
mile and three-quarters away. How
eager I was to get there, especially
the first morning so that I could get
the seat I wanted. And my old
seatnlate was there too and we pick-
ed a seat well back in the room so
teacher couldn’t watch ustoo close.
Last year we started 'out together
but teacher caught us whispering
once and she decided that we had bet—
ter separate. Of course we promised
not to do it again if she would let
us stay as we were but she thought
it best that we sit in different seats.
However, this year we had a new
teacher who didn’t know about last
year so we could sit together again.
Then there was the fun of meeting
all of my other schoolmates, some
I had not seen for more than two or
three times during vacation because
they lived quite a distance from my
home and there were others who
were newcomers to the district. And
how anxious I was to begin my stud~
ies in those new books. As I picture
it in my mind now it seems but
yesterday that this happened but,
alas, it was many years ago.

Make the best of your school days,
girls and boys! If you do your mem-
ories of them in 1 ter years will be
most pleasant—~U LE NED.

 

0111- Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have been working
in the hay field but had time to write a
letter to the Children’s Hour.

I am sending'a story hoping Mr. Waste
Basket does not gobble it up. I' will do
as many others have done, describe my—
self. I am four feet, eight and one-half
inches tall and in the seventh grade and
am twelve years old. I have black hair.
brown eyes and a. bad temper, .(Ha! Ha!)
so better watch out. I have-three broth:-
ers, and no sisters. My oldest brother
is sixteen and his name is Mernile, and
L. B. ten years, Eugene, two years. I
hope Waste Basket is asleep when this
arrives—Lilla Morre, Route 3, Fenton,
Michigan.

Arrival of a Stranger

Once upon a time a party of "Girl
Scouts" were camping near a lake. They
were very tired from their long march
through the woods for they had come a
long way sincemoving. At last they
pitched their tents and got ready to camp.
That night the girls ate heartily and put
out the fire to go to bed. They were to
sleep for about one hour when they heard
something tramping around the tents.
They dressed in a hurry and looked
through the flap of the tent. There stood
an old man dressed in long shabby clothes
that were nothing but rags and the scout
lieutenant asked him what he wanted. He
asked if there was a girl there by the
name of Marjorie and looked around the
group of girls and one pretty girl who
sat next to him, for they had sat down
on the ground to listen to what he had to
say, said that was her name and asked

him what 'he wanted. He said that he had
been looking for his girl for a long while.
Now she had no parents that she knew of
but lived with some peoplewho had taken
her when a baby and were good, to- her.
She had been with the scouts for ,two
years and had grew very fond of the

‘ girls. When she found this was ‘her

father she was very happy and the ‘scouts
asked what his name was and he Said it
was Jack Miller. So Marjorie got her
clothes and went with her father to a.
town named Canton and Marjorie often
thought of the stranger at camp.
——Come again, Lila!

Dear Uncle Ned —I have never vent-
ured so much as to write to you before,
but I feel as if I ought to. Well, Uncle
Ned, I will describe myself. I am five
feet tall, have light hair, blue eyes and a
light complexioin. I am eleven years
old and in the eighth grade at school. I
live on a 180 acre farm and we have
twelve cows to milk and have more
young stock.

I am a silent reader of THE BUSINESS
FARMER but I like it very well. I have
a few pets which are Lillie, Jake and
Daisy, three little lambs, and Blackie,
our little cat, also a mother dog, Fluffie
and three little baby puppies.

We had ten but three died and we sold
the others. I go to the school in the city
and like it much more in the country
schools. . I have one sister and one broth-
er, also going to the city school. My
other sister stays with grandpa and goes
to the country school. We live only 2%
or 3 miles from our school and walk to
and from school. -I passed in all my
final exams with 92 as my lowest aver-
age. I am glad I passed as there are so
many unfortunate children that do not
pass. I like all of my teachers very well.

Well, Uncle Ned, I think it is time to '

ring off as we have used the telephone
line too long. Hoping to see this in
print I remain, your want- to— —be-niece,
Martha Reidel, Boyne City, Mich.

-—-You just bet you ”ought to” wriite to
me. How am I to know whether you like
us or not if you don’ t write? Ring me up
1iglgaln when the “telephone line” isn’t
usy.

Dear Uncle Ned: ——I did not see my let:-
ter in print in the last issue so I thought
I would write again If Mr. Waste Bas~
ket eats up this letter Ill come and sew
his mouth shut.

In our county they had an arithmetic
and spelling contest. ~ It was the Satur—
day before examinations. The one that
got the highest would get a ribbon. There
were first and second prizes. I got first
prize in arithmetic. Our school got the
highest rank in arithmetic so our school
got a pennant.

Hoping to see this letter in print, I will
close —-—Your nephew, Herman Staple, Fre—
mont, Mich

—Well Herman, I guess you will not have i

to come and sew up Mr Waste Basket’s
mouth. But I do not think it would be a

.bad idea to sew up at least a. little of it

because it is very large.

MESSAGE ON BOYS’ AND GIRIS’ CLUB WORK

AM very glad to write a message to our farm boys and girls of Mich-
igan. Since the beginning of Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work in Mich-
igan I have been an enthusiastic booster. I have been on the Ex-

tension Committee of the State Board of Agriculture ever since I have
been a member, and I am sure no Work on that board has been of

greater interest.

The boy or girl who does a fine piece of work well is on the high-
way to happiness and most of them keep up the habit of happy work.
We have a very large percentage of Michigan State College students

who have earned scholarships here. They have learned not only. to -

work but to work with others. To enjoy good wholesome recreation

and to render real service to others.

There are about 20;000 boys- and

girls in club work in Michigan. We would have three times that 1115117

if our farm boys and girls knew what it would mean to them and

every parent would be eager to cooperate ~
Michigan State College is onering to bring the College

_ and Girls of Michigan through to“ Whoa-p.

has experienced in a good many years.
Farmers are unable to plow and it be-

be late. Beans are beginning tp turn.
Corn will

bad weather conditions. Threshing seems
to be about all farmers can do now.

some is frosted now, on the lowlands.
Late potatoes look very, promising. Farm-

MODERN smokers have in Camel
such tobaccos and blending as were
never offered in cigarettes before,
regardless of price. Camels may be
had everywhere—because they please
the taste of smokers everywhere.
Money cannot buy choicer tobaccos
than you get in this famous cigarette,
and the blend is so mellow and smooth
that there is never a tired taste, no
matter how many you may choose
to light.

The producers of Camel, the coun-
try’s largest tobacco organization,

: On the heights of contentment . . .

concentrate all their purchasing and
manufacturing resources in this one
brand of cigarettes. Into it goes their
undivided pride and skill to produce
such a smoke as the world has never
known before.

The result of Camel’s quality is its
leadership among cigarettes. ‘Modern
smokers, won 'by its choice tobaccos,
by its ever-dependable taste and fra-
grance, have awarded it first place.
You’re invited to modern smoking
enjoyment.

DAIRY ‘SI-IOW GOES TO DIXIE
ICHIGAN had the good fortune
, to be hostess to the National
Dairy Exposition last'year, a
pleasure we will long remember be—
cause'» it was the best show within
the history of the exposition, we are
told, and we benefited much from it.
This year the exposition is to be held
at Memphis, Tennessee, from Octo-

ber 15th to 21st. On the 15th there -
will be the cattle judging contest for
college students. The students will
judge dairy products on the 17th and
there will also be 4-H Club and voca-
tiona: school students judging con-
tests. onethatday.‘ Jersey day will
be the '18th with judging of that
breed. 4-H Club members will com-
plete their judging on that day also.
Ayrshires and Brown Swiss will hold
the center of the stage on the 19th
with Guernseys on the following day
and Holsteins on the last one. Of
course judging will be done on each

day.

If you are planning on going you
better make your reservations for ac-
commodations at one of the many
good hotels in Memphis. Do not wait
until the last moment because you
may get left. Special railroad rates
of fare and a half have been granted
and you can secure your certificate
when purchasing your ticket. The
certificate will be validated at the
exposition grounds and then your re-
turn ticket can be purchased at half
price. Write the office of the Na-
tional Dairy Exposition, Chamber of
Commerce Bldg, Memphis, for in-
formation on hotels.

GROUND OATS FOR COW FEED

I have recently read that oats.are
worth 15 per cent more if they are
ground for cow feed. Does it pay
to haul oats from 9 to 18 miles to
have them ground at 150 per hun-
dred pounds for grinding if I want
them for cow feed?—-L. G. 8., Sears,
Michigan.

DER the conditions which you ‘

outlines I would say that it

would not pay to grind oats for
feeding to dairy cows. ‘Show and
Norton in experimental work carried
on at the Michigan Station found
that, approximately 12 per cent of
the oats passed through a cow whole
when they were fed as ,whole oats.
Bull in “Feeding Farm. Animals"
says that ground oats are worth 10
per ‘ cent more than Whole oats.
Eckles in his book on “Dairy Cattle
and Milk Production” is an au-
thority for the same percentage.
.Since the cost of hauling the oats to
the mill and the cost of. grinding
would be greater than this I do not
recommend that you have the cats
ground—J. E. Burnett, Assoc. Prof.
of Dairy Husbandry, M. S. C.

HARD MILKER

Please tell me what to do to a
hard milking cow. She is good for
cream. Her milk isnice and the
color of the cream, but she is a
hard milker. Please tell me what to
do to make her soft like the other
cows?—-—A. K., Goetzville, Mich.

HERE are two things that can be
done in case of a hard milking
cow. The muscle at the end of

the teat may be stretched by the in—
sertion of teat plugs that are grad-
ually increased in size as the muscle
is stretched out. The second is the
cutting of the muscle by a bistoury
which is a knife that is inserted in
the teat and opened and drawn out.
the knife making a small cut in the
muscle as it passes through the teat
opening. This is repeated several
times and after the muscle heals
the muscle tends to be longer than
before, consequently making the
milking easier. I recommend that
if you follow this latter practice that
you have it done by a veterinarian.
If you wish “to use the teat plug
methdd you can obtain these from a
veterinary supply and from dairy
supply houses. If this method is
used great care must be taken to see
that the‘lplu-gs are stizrt‘ile :ht thteegtllgg

USING TANGLEFOOT

I wish to use tree tanglefoot on
youngapple trees set out last year.
The directions advise not to apply
it directly on.the bark of young
trees but to place
it on paper
bands. I have
not been success-
ful in doing this,
but find that
W rapping the
tree two or three
inches with bind-
er twine just
firm enough to
hold it in place
and then apply-
ing the tangle-
foot works well.
Herbert Natziger Will this injure
the tree or the
bark? Would a very thin coat of
tanglefoot do any damage to the
bark or do any good to the tree?
Do you believe this a-good remedy
for ants? They caused me so much
damage last year.——H. R., Alma,
Michigan.

UR experience has been that a

thin narrow coat of tangletoot

will do the work and will not
hurt young apple trees. The paper
band' treatment is needed only on
trees that have just been set. We
believe that your plan of using the
binder twine will be 0. K. Under
most conditions, however, a band 1/2
inch in width Will be wide enough to
hold cutworms. If you use the bind-
er twine it would be best to remove
it again later in the season.

The ants are not hurting your
trees. The real nigger in the wood
pile is aphids, or plant lice, which
are sucking the juice from the under
side of the leaves. The ants .are
merely getting a secretion called
honey-dew from the aphids. Spray
the aphids with nicotine-sulphate
used at the rate of one pint to 100
gallons of water.

 

 

 

 

TROUBLE WITH QUINOE BUSH

I have a quince bush that blossoms
every spring anduafter the quinces
start to develop they fall off. Can
you help me out?.——C. A., Clare,
Mich.

is possible that your quince
bush is being attacked by cur-
culio. 'This insect will cause
quinces to drop and if any remain on
the bush they will be knotty and
wormy. Spray with arsenate of lead
at the rate of 5 pounds to 100- gal-
lons of water. After the first year
or two the amount of lead can be
reduced. Spray twice, leaving an in-
terval of ten days between the
sprays. Put on the first spray as
soon as trouble begins or when the
insects begin to chew small holes
into the skin of the quinces.

TREATING CANCEROUS WARTS
EAR EDITOR:—Our great aunt
read where O. B. Decatur, Mich—
igan, asks what will cure can-
cerous warts on cows and she says
she isn’t a member of M. B. F. or
would write but we are writingher
remedy just as she told it to us.
When drugs were cheaper it took 10
cents worth of powdered mandrake
root. Put a little in the palm of
hand and spit on it to moisten enough
to spread on sores. Says Mr. White,
her husband, cured his horse and a
friend’s horse. Would like to hear
from Mr. O. B. if. this cures.

Also Mr. G. M., Boyne City, Mich-
igan, of April 9th issue, asks about
bunches on cow’s legs. A little man-
drake root might do good and is
cheap to experiment on. Our aunt
says these cancerous warts run,
bleed, and are sore—Mr. and Mrs.
John Brenner, Shepherd, Mich.

MOTHER GOES TO CAMP
(Contnued from page 3)
that the diet was important if real
beauty was to be Obtained.

Each day began with a morning
dip in the Huron, setting up exer-
cises, and after breakfast a half hour
was spent in music appreciation
study. Nowadays with so much
music available women feel that they
must teach their children to know
and to enjoy good music. Each
evening was spent around the large,
attractive fire place at the end of
the large camp house which served
as an assembly room, dining room,
and class room. Games music and
movies filled each evening'with en-
tertainment, with the exception of

Thursday and Friday nights, the two .

“special nights. Thursday night was
stunt night. Each tent of women
contributed something original to
the program and a group directed
by Mrs. Eugene Staebler presented a
real one act play. Friday night was
banquet night and the husbands
were invited. Needless to say this
party was a happy time and made a
happy ending for the camp.

Is such a. camp as this worth
while? If so, why? These 53 wo-
men say that it is. Seven of those
who were present at a meeting one
morning had come for the fourth
year; eleven of that number had
been present at three of the camps;
and twenty one came for the second
time.
turned they say is because a week of
camp life is worthwhile. It affords
{plenty of time for rest, it enlarges
friendships, it gives a chance for
learning new things which will be
helpful and gives a chance to be with
and study nature. But the most
important reason that many gave
was, it helps them to make their
homes a little better, a little happier
and a little more beautiful, because
of the inspiration they gain at camp
makes it possible to be just a little
happier and more patient when they
go home. They claim too, that their
husbands and families like them bet-
ter when they return.

An excerpt from the “Newk‘irk
News” prepared by one of the camp—
ers shows that, camp life is full of
wholesome fun and jokes and that
the old adage, “We are as young as
we feel” is true. The excerpt is as
follows: “Different members of the
camp were surprised to hear a pecu-
liar sound in the night. After in-
tently listening they decided it was
some one buzzing wood for their
camp fire.” Surely, if for no other
reason than the mere fun of it our
Michigan mothers deserve a week of
vacation at camp.

, ADVICE ON FEEDS .
I would like some information re-
garding " the following feeds for
laying hens: '1——cotton seed meal;
2—6i1 meal; 3—cull apples. If any
of the above would be beneficial to
liens how much should a person feed
to each hundred hens? Also how
would be the best way to feed skim
milk, sweet or sour, or sour and
made into cottage cheese?-——C. R.
B., Metamora, Mich.

EITHER cotton seed meal nor
N oil meal have proven satisfac—

tory as an addition to the lay—
ing ration, unless a very high min—
eral content is used. .

Cull aples may be fed to hens in
limited quantities, as a succulent
food, taking, to some extent, the
place of the so—called green foods.

The most satisfactory way to feed
milk is in the liquid state. I would
not advise one going to the trouble
of making it into cottage cheese, as
it does not increase the food value.
——C. G. Card, Professor of Poultry
Husbandry, M. S. C.

RANGE OF THREE ACRES

Would like to know if hens con-
fined in a three acre park will lay as
well as though they had free access
to other buildings, barn, etc?—Mrs.
F. J. U., LaSalle, Mich.

HENS given the range of a three_
acre park should have sufiicient

range so that from a health
standpoint they will be strong and
in good condition. We believe that
a range, even during the winter
months. proves profitable—C. G.
Card, Professor of Poultry Hus—
bandry, M. S. C.

GRAVIEL 0R OYSTER SHELLS

I live near Grand Traverse Bay
and have access to lots of fine gravel
which I have in hoppers before my
chickens \the year around. Is this
equal to oyster shells, crushed lime
rock, bone and other grit materials?
——R. B., Emena, Mich.

WISH to. say that fine gravel

does not answer as a substitute

for oyster shell or ground lime—
stone. Gravel will answer as a
substitute for grit and is used pri—
marily as a help in the grinding of
the food—C. G. Card, Professor of
Poultry Husbandry, M. S. C.

RATION W'RONG

I have White Leghorn chickens
and they lay very large eggs. Some
of them have piles or it looks like
piles. As soon as I notice it I kill
them. I have had five in all. It is
always the nicest, biggest, fattest
laying hens. They will be full of
eggs and most always have one
ready to lay. They will be bloody
and sore at the rectum. Is there
anything I can do or feed them to
cure them? I have found two soft
shelled eggs—C. E., St. Clair, Mich.

OUR trouble is due to your feed-
ing; you are probably feeding
too much fibre in your feed or

you are crowding them too hard. A
dose of epsom salts now and then
and the use of some bran and oil-
meal in the ration often brings about
a change. If you get your feeding
right I‘ think you will get rid of your
trouble—Dr. Geo. H. Conn.

A TEN-MILE HORSE

“I've got just the horse for you, said a
liveryman to a. farmer who was a pros-
pective customer. “He’s five years old,
sound as a bell, and goes ten miles with-
out stopping.”

The farmer shook his head.

“Nod for me,” he said, “nod for me. I
lif eight miles from town out, and mit
dot horse I hat to valk back two miles.”

)1

I like the fight that you are making
against chicken stealing. I am in sym-
pathy in the release of Mr. Wilson for
killing the thief when he wouldn’t stop.

P rt II) J ' [2 da! Log Cabin Farm
oilmefiy Realp‘h“ . Jaec’hson, Conneau!Lake,Pa: .

Ask W. E. Mapous, manager of Log Cabin Farm, Con-
neaut Lake, Pa., if it pays to feed Larro Dairy Feed. He’ll
tell you what his Larro-fed pure bred Holsteins did in
the Western Crawford County Cow Testing Association.
The records for the year ending March 1, 1927 show a
profit over all grain, roughage and pasture cost of ' ’,
$1862.99 or $122.16 per cow. The average production '
per cow was 10,248 lbs. milk, 359.4 lbs. fat, and the
total feed cost $1542.03, or 99 cents per hundred pounds
of milk. , '7

Mr. Mapous knows that it’s profit, not cost per ton of r ..
feed, that counts. During his fifteen years experience

with Larr‘o Dairy Feed he has proved for himself that it

leaves the feeder more money, when all the bills are

paid, than any other ration. It produces more milk~ for

a longer period from any cow. It keeps the animals in

fine flesh and condition, free from indigestion and

udder trouble and when freshening time comes, their

calves are strong and full of vigor.

Larro is always the same clean, wholesome ration—

uniform in every respect. Its formula, quality, analysis '
and feeding value do not change. Put your herd on Larro ‘
now and every cow will pay you the biggest profit that

she is capable of producing.

General Outlook Is Much Brighter
Shortage of F eeders—Light Hogs In Demand
By w. W. room, Market Editor. 7

URING recent weeks there have
been very pronounced changes in
the agricultural situation, many

advances in prices having taken
place, and the general outlook is
much brighter than it was a year
ago. Grain prices have been lifted
to a higher level, with corn far in the
lead, as is natural at a time when
nearly everything points to a late
crop, with great consequent danger
of much of the grain being damaged
by early frosts. It is probable that
the corn grower’s prices will net him
a. substantial gain, despite the re«
duced quantity, and it is likely that
many farmers will be able to pay off
‘their debts and to make increased
purchases of commodities. Fortun-
ately, most farmers these days are
provided with silos, so that a
world of uncommercial corn will be

' t utilized on the farm. Of late substan-

tial profits have been derived from
preparing beef cattle for the market,
andprices have. gone to unexpected-
ly high levels because of the inade-
quate production of the choicer
heavy steers and prime yearlings.
The future of the cattle market ap«
pears sufficiently encouraging to nu-
merous farmers to induce them to
stock up with thin cattle for finish-
ing, and so far it has proved a profit-
able venture in most instances, but
the time has come for more caution
in this industry. The best finished fat

 

cattle have been selling on the Chi-.
‘ cago market far higher than in most
past years, 1926 included, but two
years ago prime fat cattle soared on
a short supply to $16.10 per 100

1 pounds, while over seven years ago
‘ beef steers sold for $9. 25 to $17. 50.

 

‘ against

The 110g market has been a disap-
1 pointment to farmers engaged in this
3 leading farm industry, with prices
, ruling far lower than in recent years,
despite the remarkable falling off in
the supplies marketed in packing
points from most past years. More
swine have reached western points
this year than last year, but supplies

were far less than in other recent.
2 years.
! ‘Activity in Grain

There is increasing speculative in-
terest as well as growing cash sales
1 of wheat and the other g1ai11s, and
crop reperts from the leading dis—
tricts are the controlling factors in
making prices. Of course, the up—
ward movement has been especially
great in corn; with sales for Sep-
tember delivery of late around $1.06,
comparing with 78 cents a year ago.
Many sections give bad corn crOp re-
' ports, and the Kansas report esti-
‘ mated that fully 15 per cent of the

corn in that state would be soft this
} season. Oklahoma, however, sold
i
l

 

new corn to go to Chicago in Novem-
ber at equal to one cent below De-
cember. Many farmers have parted
'with most of their old corn, and the
. government report gave the farm

‘ holdings of corn on July 1 at 451,— _

‘ 000,000 bushels, comparing with
540,000,000 bushels a year earlier.
Oats for September delivery sold a
1 short time ago on the Chicago Board
,of Trade for 47 cents, comparing
f \ ‘th 39 cents a year ago. Oat har-
vesting is well advanced in the
I northwest, and to a great extent the
a oat crop of the country is disappoint-
ing. Farm reserves of old oats on
July 1 were reported at only 164,-
000, 000 bushels, comparing with
240,000,000 bushels a year ago.
} Wheat is going to market freely,
and September wheat has sold
around $1.34, comparing with $1.33
a year ago. ’In a short time the
spring wheat crop will be moving
’freely. The Canadian spring wheat
‘crop is ,estimated at 430,000,000
bushels for the three provinces,
382,000,000 bushels last
year. The world’s available wheat
supply is growing and is up to 150,-
, 152,000, bushels, comparing with
135,531,000 bushels a year ago.
General trade conditions are .not
very bullish in wheat. _ Reported

 

’ plans of American farmers to in-

 

crease by 13 per cent their planting
of winter Wheat threaten a much
greater export surplus next season,
the department of agriculture warns.

Cattle Prices Widen Out

Notwithstanding cattle supplies in
packing points most of the time show
up well, there is a shortage both in
feeding and grazing states, and this
is true of the ranges and the corn
belt. For the year so far less cattle
have reached seven western packing
points than in recent years, and of
late the proportion of Well finished
beef cattle offered on the Chicago
market has not been large enough
to meet the demand. Recently the
offerings ran largely to in— —between
grades of grassy short fed cattle
which came into competition with
grass cattle from the ranges. The
result was sharp breaks in prices for
undesirable kinds, with firmness for
choice corn fed cattle. Beef steers

were made of h0g3 at $7.75 to

A GLANCE AT THE MARKETS.
(Special to THE BusINEss FARMER)

Market News Service, Bureau of Agrl-'

cultural Economics, U. S. Department of
Agriculture. ’ \
UTTER, cheese, and egg markets
continued firm during the Week.
Fruit and vegetable markets
were affected by the cool, rainy
weather, receipts falling off marked-
ly. Wheat and corn prices declined.
Choice fed steers and western grass-
ers were steady to strong at Chicago.

Butter

Butter prices were on a fairly
steady plane last week, and indica-
tions are that the advancing trend
has not yet ceased. Production con-
tinues to decrease in some sections.
Storage movement is slowing down
but as yet the in-movement still ex-
ceeds that of a year ago. There is
a growing feeling that the heavy
storage holdings are not excessive

sold at $8.60 to $14.40, largely at
$9.50 to $13.50. A year ago steers
sold at $7.60 to $11. Prime Angus
heifers sell up to $13.25. Most
stockers and feeders sell at $7.50 to
$8.50, there being a good demand
and no large offerings.

Light Butcher Hogs Wanted

Within a short time prices for
hogs in the Chicago market have
shown good advances, based on much
reduced supplies and a much larger
demand from both local packers and
eastern shippers. Recently sales
were made as high as at any time
since last May, and the chief new
factor was the premium paid for
light butcher hogs, which sold high-
er than sorted, light or under veight.
Recent hog receipts averaged 25"
pounds, and there is a growing ten-
dency to hold hogs longer and to
make them choicer. The consump-
tion of provisions is expected to be-
come larger later this year, and it is
most likely that where stockmen
have plenty of corn it will pay them
to feed to a good finish. Recent sales

and that decreased supplies this win-
ter will require a large reserve.

Eggs and Poultry

Cheese prices have worked higher .

gradually, the .higher level being
well supported. Production is 'de-
clining, but is still somewhat higher
than a year ago. ‘Egg prices have
maintained a steady advance, the
higher advances having occurred us-
ually on the better quality goods.
Late reports indicate that prices
have advanced to where medium and
undergrade fresh eggs are receiving
considerable attention from storage
stocks. Live poultry prices have ad-
vanced slightly.
, Produce

Apple markets continued fairly
strong during the week; potatoes ad-
vanced slightly in the East, but were
lower in middle western centers;
sweet potatoes declined further, and
the general pcice tendency of most
other products was downward. Total
movement of 28 products was 18,100
cars against 24,800 cars the same
week a year ago.

Wheat

More favorable weather for har-
vesting grain in Europe, together
with continued favbrable develop-
ments in the Canadian spring wheat
crop, weakened the wheat market
last week. Export demand has again
fallen off and prices are 6 to 7 cents

lower in the principalmarkets than ‘

a week ago. Milling demand contin-
ues moderate in volume but stocks in
the markets are increasing.
Corn and Oats ~

:Corn prices have tended down-
ward with wheat, the September
price at Chicago having declined
about 5 cents per bushel during the
week. The rye market declined with
wheat and also because of a mater-
ial slackening in export demand.
Oats prices have tend’eddownward,
following the decline in the corn
market. ,

Feed

The feed market continues to hold
generally steady with the demand
for most feed slightly in excess of
the moderate offerings. Relatively
higher prices of feed grains have
widened the outlet for manufactured
feeds.

and have tended to restrict the
volume of the demand. Hay markets
continue to hold about steady with

I hadn’ is taken a half bottle until I could

lie down and rest at 111 ht. have no
