Believes It Would Work Satisfactorily But Administration Bill Will Not
By JAS. N. MCBRIDE

WAS interested in some calcula-

tions made by Professor Ezekiel

.of the United States Bureau of
Economics in connection with sur-
plus of cotton for 1926, and the prob-
able crop for 1927. The 1926 cotton
crop was seventeen and one-half
million bales, while this year’s crop
is estimated at twelve million, a de-
crease of one-third in round num-
bers. If four million bales could
have been stored and carried over, so
that to the groWer the cr0p of 1926
would have averaged with this year’s
crop in prices, then the gain would
have been $238,000,000 on the two
year’s crops. The most striking part
of Prof. Ezekiel’s analysis is not
this great gain to the grower but
that if all this storage had been un-
dertaken by all the cooperatives
handling cotton, the total expense
would have been borne by those who
controlled less than 25 per cent
While the gain at no expense would

have gone to the remaining 75
per cent.

If the cooperatives had controlled
30 per cent, they would have about
broken even, while the balance
would have made the total gain. If
the cooperatives controlled one—half
the crop and stored four million
bales, their profit would have been
seventy million dollars, while the
non-cooperatives with no participa-
tion in the risk, would have gained
$168,000,000. These figures were
given [out on the basis of 20 cent
cotton 'while at the present time,
cotton has advanced to 23 cents per
pound.
-- The Bean Crop

Some rather quickly thrown to-
gether figures on the Michigan bean
crop of 1926, the prospective 1927
crop, (subject to future estimates)

would be as follows: The 1926 bean
crorp averaged through the probable
1927 crop market season with a
probable one-third reduction in yield,
and a $6.70: price per hundred would
have brought the growers say $1.00
per bushel more or between five and
six million dollars. The point to be
understood is the storage of the two
million bushels of 1926 which bur-
dened the market over into the 1927
year, which promises to be about
that much short. The probable gain
to the growers would have been
around five million dollars. At this
point comes some of the mathematics
of such a carry-over, which is rather
startling, yet in submitting it to
operators no obvious criticism is
found. To carry two million bushels
over a period of exceeding the ac—
tual one year, with interest, ware-

housing, shrinkage, insurance, in-
spection, supervision, etc., would ex-
ceed 75 cents per bushel or $1,500,-
000—the actual gain to the carrying
cooperative body might be $500,000.
The actual apparent gain to those
who took no. risk, would be the full
$1.00 per bushel or say three mil-
lion dollars. The season of 1925
averaged into the season of 1926
would have undoubtedly “broken”
the cooperative storage body, as the
the total crop was large. Again one
can Well he reminded that with the
large crop of these two years, there
is no surplus now. Michigan; is
practically cleaned up of beans. The
marketing of the crop has been done
with disaster to the grower, small
gain to the operator and “frozen

Back Again to the Land Where Tex, Meets Mex

- By GEORGE M. SLOCUM
‘ PART IX

ODAY we are riding from Tor-
roen, in the sweltering desert-
like heart of the northern min-

ing district towards Monterrey. From
the car-windows one might easily
believe himself'to be in the Holy
Land. Pack trains of burros, their
long ears and comical faces covered
with dust and loaded down until it
would seem their little backs would
break, are hurried along by sombre-
roed peon drivers whose .long legs
astride the tiny animal, drag along
the roadway.

It is a desert-like country, across
which the sand-storms drive like a
blizzard and through which our
train must at times proceed with
caution, because the engineer can
see hardly a cars-length in front of
his, locomotive. They are baling the
branches of the cactus-like shrub at

’one of the stations and we are told

that an American company has
recently prefected a method by
which this long wasted plant can
be utilized in the manufacture of
rubber tires. Whether or not

which stretched away towards the
mountains on either side as far as the
eye could reach. Across this marshy
waste the railway has thrown-up a
right-of—way, which runs we estimat—
ed for forty—five miles. We rubbed
the dust from our feverish eyes and
wondered if we were seeing things,
for on every side were countless
numbers of all kinds of wild-fowl.
Many of the ducks looked not unlike
our familiar Mallards, Red-heads and
Canvas-backs and we wondered, as
this was early April, if some of these
birds might not already be making
their plans for the long migration
towards Hudsons Bay in faraway
Canada, which would take them
across the Great Lakes district from
whence we came. Among the un-

familiar fowl were large wdod ducks,

which scurried across the water as
the train passed and flew into the
tall marsh-grass where they perched,
swaying in the breeze. Now and
then, a deep-throated pelican, which
we had always associated with salt-
water, made us wonder if this stag-
nant marsh were not a partially
dried—up lake of brackish or alkaline
content; then too, as the pelican we
know is only a fish—eater, we as—
sumed that there must be fish in
plenty here. All kinds of herons,
some larger than we have ever seen,
except in zoological gardens, strode
away in their dignified manner
through the shallow water or lifted
their great wings to fly for a short
distance from the noisy train. Most
plentiful were little white and black
divers, unlike any species We know,

 

this is a fact, we had not the
time to ascertain, but certain it
is, that if this plant can be used
to relieve the demand for high-
priced rubber, we saw enough of
it on our way northward out of
Mexico to supply the motorcars
of the world from now to the
millenium and we challenge any-
one to disprove our estimate!

, A Bird Paradise

If we were leaving Mexico
with only a latent desire to come

the strange mysteries which have
taunted us at every turn in this
old land that is a part of our
so—called “New World,” it was
'-quickened today into a flaming
fire, for our train cut through
the heart of what must be Na-
ture’s greatest sanctuary for
water-fowl on the American con-
nent. ,

sat with our eyes fixed On a pan-

with which the water seemed to be
dotted in every direction. We saw
no swans or geese, but as they are
more timid than the species we have»
mentioned, we would not be sur-
prised to learn that there were great
flocks of these birds at a distance
from the railway. What a paradise
this would be for the student of nat-
ural history, who could spend
months here in studying wild-fowl
life and habits. When we come back
to Mexico, as we now someday must,
we will look forward to at least a
week in this section, armed not with
guns, but with kodaks and motion
picture cameras, for it would be only
ruthless slaughter to hunt here. A'
blind man could fire a gun in any
direction and bring down game. It
was quite evident that little hunting '
is done here, probably because the
natives are too poor to afford ammu<
nltion and the few Mexican sports-
men who could afford it could
scarcely make a dent in the great
numbers here.

Mentioning bird—life recalls
that, owing to the wide range
of climate with which Mexico is
blessed, all kinds of birds are to
be found there, and as there are
no game laws which are en—
forced, there is a ruthless hunt-
mg and netting of the song-birds
which we treasure and protect in
the United States. Many times
we saw mocking birds, larks,
gold-finches and rare tropical
birds of brilliant plumage, heat-
ing their wings against the bars
of small cages in which they had
only recently been incarcerated.
Few wild birds, thus imprisoned
after maturity, live and rarer.
still is one that will sing, when
the joy of its freedom is taken
from it. Thus, there are many
reasons, not all political, why it

oLKS, I sure wish all of you
'5"? could have been with me week
. ’_-;‘ before last. The Michigan State
Eair was‘"-goin’.on from September
5th to 10th, you know, and I spent
the hull week attendin’. And let
’me tell you, I enjoyed it more than a
Small boy at a circus.

You see, I’ve got a cousin livin’ in
Detroit that comes out to our place
every summer wit-h his wife and six
youngsters to stay from a couple of
weeks to a month so I though -.I’d re-
pay him by stoppin’ at his place for
a day or so durin’ the Fair. Martha
planned on goin’ too but decided at
the last minute that shercouldn’t get
away so it was up to me to brave the
dangers of'the big city all alone.
’S'eein’s she wasn’t goin’ along I
thought maybe I wouldn’t be impos—
in' on our city relation if I stayed
the hull week, so that’s what I did.

This bein’ the first State Fair to be
put on by our Gov. Green I was
lookin’ forward to it wit-h a lot of
interest, seein’ as he had made such
a great success of the ‘Ionia Free
»Fair. Some had thought he might
make our State Fair a free fair, but
he just reduced the admission to the
outside gates from 50 cents to a
quarter, which I think was better
than making it free.

Apparently I wasn’t the only one
that was doin’ some wonderin’, be—
cause there were over 158,000 people
that came the first day, which Was
- Labor Day. I never saw so many
.. folks at one time in all my born
days. Last year, they say, the total
attendance at the fair was only a
couple thousands more.

. Not Early Enough

I got out to the grounds by ten
o’clock that mornin’ so I could see
fisome of the exhibits but I wasn’t
:early enough as the crowd was a1—
ready'comin’ and all the buildin’s
Were almost full. Not carin’ to
spend my time like a sardine in a
can} I decided to wait until some
30ther day to see the exhibits. That
bein' the case I thought a good place
for me to hang out would be the
M. B. F. Rest and Service Tent which
I found opposite the agricultural
buildin’, so I spent the rest of the
forenoon there visitin’ with the folks
. .in charge, and drinkin’ the free ice
water they had for their farmer
friends. Many a farmer and his fam-
ily welcomed that oasis in a desert
'of1 pup and hot dog stands and water
was'consumed so fast that it kept
that frigidaire outfit runnin all the
time. It was sure some outfit.

from a crop of beans are de—

1926 produced many a good field of
beans which were either a total loss

frequently happens that when the

that was a distant cousin to good
coffee, then I headed for the grand-
stand, figurin’ I’d get a good seat
where I could watch them horses
come down the home stretch, horse
races bein’ the feature of the after-
noon. I wasn’t any too soon either
because the grandstand was fillin’ up
fast. The races were good and so
were the circus acts they had in
front of the grandstand. In the eve—
nin’ they repeated the acts in front
of the grandstand and ended it all
up with some fine fireworks.

The schedule every day in the
afternoon and evenin’ was the same
in front of the grandstand, exceptin’
Saturday afternoon when there was
automobile races. In the Coliseum
a horse show was put on every eve—

nin’ and judging was done in there.

durin’ the day.
Children’s Day

Tuesday was Children's Day and
all youngsters under 14 were let in
free of charge, which was a nice
thing to do, I thought.

The thing that interested me most
that day was the draft horse pullin’
contest and it sure was worth seein.’
A Macomb county team, costin’
$350, carried off first prize of $500.
Not a bad investment? The team
pulled an equivalent of 68 tons on
a cement road after fourteen other
teams from different parts of the
State had failed to pull it the re-
quired 30 feet. Boys’ and Girls’
Club centests and demonstrations got
under way that day too, and then at
half past five in the afternoon they
had a milkin’ contest for girls which
was won by Elizabeth Preiss, of Ma—
comb county. Second, third and
and fourth places-were won by girls
from this same county. Could they
milk? Well, I’ve pailed cows for a
good many years and I wouldn’t be
able to keep up with them.

Next day, Wednesday, was Gover-
nor’s Day, and there wasn’t much of
special interest to a farmer on that
day, except the milkin’ contest for
boys which was held at half past
five in the Coliseum. MiltOn Stewart,
of Tuscola county, got first prize,
with a Washtenaw county boy second
and another Tuscola county boy
third. The next day the contest to
decide the championship of Michigan
was held, and Matilda Rinke, of. Ma-
comb county, handed the boys a
trimmin’. This is the first time Ma—
tilda ever won the championship, but
her elder sister, Henrietta, held it

\right after the other.

Farmers’ Own Day

Thursday was a big day for farm
folks and there was sure plenty of
them there. All day long, I was told,
there was a stream of them goin’ in
and out of the M. B. F. Rest and
Service Tent on the grounds and call—
in’ at the Service Booth in the Coli-
seum. Not only was the final milkin’
contest put on this day but they also
had hog callin’ and horseshoe pitch-
in’, besides an old fiddlers’ contest.

I never really thought much of
callin’ a hog until I heard these here
farmer “grand opera stars” disturb
the atmosphere and once. they got
into action, got their vocal cords hit-
tin’ on all four, it was some different
from the old “Come p-o-e-e—g” I use.
Thirty-eight fellers tried their voices
for three prizes totalin’ $30, and a
couple of farmers from Ohio were
able to f‘call down” the others so
they got first and second prizes of
$15 and $10. H. A. Hoover, of Tus—
cola county, came in third and got
a five-spot.

Real “Barnyard Golfers”

I always figured I could pitch a
pretty good game of horseshoes, that
is I did until I saw those chaps in
action at the Fair and then I de-
cided I was a rank beginner. I al-
ways was able to get shoes close to
the peg and once in a while got a
ringer, but with them fellers ringers
were more common than close shoes.
Almost every time they throwed
each one of them got at least one
ringer and many times I saw all four
shoes hung on the same peg, one
And I wasn’t
done ’cause every one of them
pitched differently.

The old fiddlers' contest interested
a large crowd and was won by Ed-
ward Squire, of Muskegon Heights.
Sure made you feel like swingin’
your partner when they got into ac-
tion on “Turkey in the Straw,” 'and
“Old Irish Washerwomen,” and some
other old fashioned tunes.

Friday, Detroit Day, brought out
a pretty good crowd. Lots of farm—
ers were there and looked on it as
their last day because it ended the
horse races and some of the exhibi~
tors were preparin' to get away Sat-
urday. That night I took in the horse
show in the Coliseum for the first
time and liked it very much. Any-
body that likes horses would enjoy

ing eight bean rows in one wind-

row.

A number of stakes (steel or

wooden) are placed on the rear end-

of a hay rack so that the ends pro-
trude beyond the rack. The rack is
then loaded with straw to be used as
bottoms. The load of straw is

hauled between the center two of.

four of the large windrows. When
about two or three rods in from the
end of the rows, stop and drive a
stake. The stakes being on the wag-
on, makes them easy to handle.
After the stake is driven into the
ground, enough straw is forked
about it to make a solid pad four to
six inches thick.

The load is then moved up four or
five rods and another stake set.’ It

is not advisable to place more bot—
toms than can be used in one day, or
before a storm. A good way is to
use the bottom before another is set.

The beans are then carried in with
pitch forks and a stack made. The
stack should be about four feet in
diameter and built with vertical
sides, well above the top of the
stake. The last few forks full
thrown up should form the cap. The
beans are left to settle and, in so
doing, will form a good cap.

The straw used for the bottoms
should extend beyond the beans so
that the rain will not spatter the
lower pods and discolor the beans.
The stack should be dressed up a bit
before it is left, picking up any loose
and scattered vines. "

- Fine Exhibits

Durin’ the week I found time to
look over all of the exhibits, even
the fancy washin’ machines and
other things for the house, and I
want to 'te‘ll'you that as a Whole I
think it would have been sure hard
to beat. I talked with a‘lot of farm-
ers and they all-thought about it as
I did. ‘

The beef cattle show was a little
light but probably next year they will
try to build up this department. Dairy
cattle showed up real nice and so did
the horses. One livestock man told
me he had attended the International
at Chicago for several years and he
had never seen a sheep show, even
there, that could compare with the
one at this year’s Fair. I would
have liked to haVe seen more hogs
but they certainly had some dandies.
A big breeder said he had four there
that any ordinary year could have
won a first but this year he had to
be satisfied with a fourth. Never did
they have such a big poultry show or
so many rabbits on display.

_ All available space in every build-
in’ was in use. The agricultural
buildin’ housed the grain, flower
and fruit shows, besides a large ex-
hibit by the State Department 'of Ag-
riculture, a, Grange exhibit and
others. Exhibits of the State De-
partment of Agriculture, Michigan
State College, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, State Conservation De-
partment, other State departments,
farm papers, Ancient Order of’Glean-
ers, and others filled the exhibitin’
space in the Coliseum. Other build~
1n’s were filled to overflowin’ with
exhibits rangin’ from a cow made of
butter to an up-to-date automobile
and from barn equipment to a
grand piano. And everything that
was there was just as nice as you
want to look at.

Was Disappointing

One thing that I was disappointed
in was the exhibit by the Boys’ and
Girls’ Clubs of Michigan. Seems as
though the work bein carried on in
the State warranted an exhibit in

The McNaughton System of Harvesting Beans During {Wet Weather

It is remarkable how well the
beans keep in these stacks even
though theydo go through consider—
able bad weather. Also, there are
a few points to consider concerning
the advantages of this method of
handling beans. Frequently the pro-
longed turning of pulledbeans, after

they have been-pulled at a late date, '

makes wheat seeding too late. In
using the method the area in which
the stacks are made can be worked
into a good seed bed and the grain
drilled. After the stacks are built,
the rest of the field is worked and
seeded to wheat;

The seeding of the wheat main-
tains the rotation in use and permits
the other crops to come in order as
planned. Should the wheat seeding

have been omitted because 'of 'the in- ‘
ability to get: the beans . up in time, '

the rotation would have been‘lost
for that year and the fol-lowing crops
finch hampered from the loss of
1me. ' '

A severe frost may injure the

corn crop very materially, it may
ripen off the late potatoes and has-
ten their harvest, or it may .come
so as to influence other fall work.
The McNaughton system of harvest-
ing beans is a rapid and sure way of

taking care of one crop until it is '

GET NEW TITLE
7 I wish to convert a Chevrolet 490
touring car into a light delivery
truck. Can I secure a permit from
the local license plate agent or must
I get it direct from the Department
of State?—W. D. V., Wolverine,
Michigan.

F Chevrolet touring is changed to
light delivery truck it is necessary
that owner apply for new title

correctly describing same and pur—
chase commercial license plates. Fee
for new title is $1 and old title cov—
ering touring car must be attached
for cancellation—John S. Haggerty,
Secretary of State.

BOARD AND WASHING

How much would the law allow
me to charge a. man a week if I do
his washing which consists of two

sheets, two pillow cases, three white ,

shirts, four towels, two collars, two
pair stocking, two pair pajamas a
week and I iron all these things? I
also cook all his meals and wash all
his dishes. I thought about $5.00.—
Mrs. M. K., Howard City, Mich.

WOULD say the described food
I and laundry service is worth
about $5.00 to $7.00 per week,

depending upon the- kind of meals

prepared—Irma Gross, Asst. Profes-
sor of Home Economics, M. S. C.

KEEPING BRUSH CLEARED
AWAY

Have I got to keep the road in‘

front of my place clear of brush With-
out pay or does the township have to
pay me for this labor?——S. M. 0.,
Tawas City, Mich.

OU would not have to keep the
road cleared of brush in front
of your place, except insofar as

it is your duty to keep out down all
noxious weeds in front of your prem-
ises. Your liability would depend in
this case somewhat on the nature of
the brush and other circumstances.
Generally any person is entitled to
compensation from the township or
county for work done in making re-
pairs on the highway—Legal Editor.

CAN HE PREVENT CUTTING HAY?

I have a tenant on my farm. We
have a contract drawn up stating that
the tenant shall have two-thirds of
all crops except- hay which he shall
receive one-half of same. He has
taken the first cutting off and plans
to take the second cutting soon. I
don’t like to have the second cutting
taken. Can I prevent him from doing
so. Can he hold it? Also, can he
remove a Share of oat straw from the
place? It is in the barn yard. He
did not bring any straw when he
came—Reader.

UCH matters as harvesting second
cuttings of hay Should be und-
erstood at outset. If it can be

shown that the meadows are materi-
ally damaged by the taking of the
second cutting, the tenant could be
held for such damages.

Straw is the same as grain and is
divided unless otherwise agreed up—
on.—F. T. Riddell, Research Assist—
ant, M. S. C.

RIGHT TO VOTE

Has a school teacher the right to
vote in the voting precinct where
she is teaching? She is only here
school days except when the roads
and weather are such that she can—
not get home. She lives with her par-
ents in the adjoining township and
assists with her money and labor to
keep up the home. AS I understand
the law, it is a case of where a per—
son’s home is where they should
vote—R. D., Petoskey, Mich.

0 a certain extent the location of
one’s residence is determined
by their declaration of inten-

tions. The teacher might determine
to make the district in which She
is teaching her home, especially if
she rents a room there. On the other
hand, the fact that she assists with

  

her money and labor to keep up ti:

home of , her

parents and RV res it

 
    

 

 

   

 

      

her parents over the week-ends
would make it possible for her to
determine that her residence shall be
in the township where her parents

Instruction.

PHEASANTS Do DAMAGE

EAR EDITOR. I see in your
D August BUSINESS FARMER that

complaints are made in regard
to pheasants I will make known
the damage, or at least some of it,
done on my farm. I planted a field
of corn last spring, and the pheas-
ants pulled a lot of it out. I planted
it over again, and they pulled it out
the second time. I had a wheat field
near some woods, and when I cut
wheat I discovered two patches of it
abOut fifteen feet across that looked
at first as if some one had' cut it out
and taken it off. On examination
I found it had been tramrped down
by the pheasants and the heads
eaten off.

I have seen large flocks of young
pheasants this year, so they must be
multiplying very rapidly. I under-
stand you are not allowed to hunt
them with a dog and as they are
great skulkers they are hard to find
after the first gun is shot. I have
heard a lot of complaints from other
farmers—Mrs. L. F. E., Sheridan,
Michigan.

TAX SINGLE FOLKS

EAR EDITOR: I am wondering

why the married man who owns

property should be compelled to
pay the burden of the taxes while
people who are single or do not own
homes are tax free. Of course they
pay through renting and such like
but they should pay directly also for
they are as much to blame for our
high taxes as any one. They are
always willing to have some expen—
sive project started.

We should have it so that each
single person over twenty-one had
to pay about a fifty dollar tax each
year. ,In other words tax them for
staying single instead of taxing them
because they assume the expenses of
raising a family.

The young people under thirty
race the roads more, cause more ar—
rests and the upkeep of the large jail
and police expenses, and in every
way cause more expenses than they
will during the next twenty years of

their life providing they settle down
after that. Why not make them foot
the bill. Tax them and do it good.

Then make every married man
who is not a home owner pay a tax
to help keep up the expenses of
schooling his children, providing
nurses, etc., and see
owner does Iiot have a little better
chance.

And those who do not have chil- -

dren should pay more of these taxes
than the man with children be-
cause we must have children or the
world would soon be a funny place
in which to live. And every one
should help in the replenishing. If
they will not or cannot take the
trouble to rear families let them
share the expenses to a greater ex-
tent. Why wouldn’t this be fair?
——“One Who Wonders Why.”

——What do the rest of the neigh-
bors think about the idea?——Editor.

You can experience the pleasure of talking
regularly with the son or daughter attending
school, although they are far away. Emablish
a certain night of the week as Telephone Home
Night, where they can place a call for the home
telephone number.

Such a call is known as a Station-to-‘Station
call, and costs appreciably less than a call
placed for a Particular Person. It is the kind of
call to make when you are reasonably certain
the person to whom you wish to talk will answer
the telephone or can be called to it quickly.

In placing a Station-to-Station call, if you do
not know the number, say to the Long Distance
Operator, for instance, “I want Mr. John
Smith’s residence, 250 Sayre Street, Lansing,
Michigan.” Be sure that you do not specify to
the operator that she call any particular person. ‘

ELL, Kenneth, as James and I

' worked all day the Fourth, and
have all day today, Labor Day,

we decided to go to the State Fair
for a couple of days or so. While
you were gone
today I started
p l o w i n g the
quack grass cor—
ner in field num-
ber three. You
can finish plow-
ing that tomor-
row forenoon.
Do not alter the
plow to make it
rplow a wide fur-
row or any deep—
er. In plowing
quack grass to
kill it, it is es-
sential to plow a
narrow furrow and only as deep as
is necessary to properly turn it over.
Then you can work on the fields we
have plowed for wheat. “When will
we return?” “Oh, when we get back! ”
It is four in the morning and
with a tank full of gas and a well
filled lunch basket, we head for the
old Chicago Pike or U. S. 112, as it
is now called since it has become a
Natibnal highway. The fog is so
dense it gathers on the windshield
like rain and the wiper must be in
almost constant motion. One cannot
see more than 30 to 50 feet ahead.
The sun had risen, yet still we must
use the headlights. What building
is that whose faint outline we ‘can
see at our right Why, that’s the old
woolen mills. This is Clinton. Stop!
there’s a wreck! Yes, a man in a
roadster going very fast came from
the south on that cross road and
tried to cross the pavement. The
large car that is so badly demolished
would have crashed into the road—
ster if the driver had not set his
brakes so hard and in so doing
turned his car over. No one is hurt,
but a car is torn to pieces, all be—
cause a man did not approach the
main road with due caution. This is
Saline—~we are nearing Ypsilanti.
“W'hat’s that thirty or forty feet of
railroad track in the pavement for?”
“Why, way back in ‘them good old
days’ there was an electric railway
from Saline to Ypsilanti.” I imagine
it never paid very large dividends
and with the coming of the automo-
bile it’s business was evidently re-
duced to such an extent that it was
discontinued, and with the paving of
the old pike the line was torn up.
They have left those two or three
stretches of 40 foot lengths as a mon—
ument to an enterprise that once
was, and that when promoted had
such a bright future. It is also a re—
minder that the world moves. Here
is Ypsilanti and we turn east on old
Michigan Avenue. Let’s drive down
to the Ford Air Port when we get
to Dearborn. There it is. Some
place. Suppose they allow visitors
to drive in? Ask that gate keeper.
“Why sure, park your car right over
there, this card will get you a guide.”
“-80 that plane is one of twelve pas-
senger capacity.” “Yes, these planes
are being made for passenger service
between Chicago and Dallas, Tens.
We complete one of these large
planes every two weeks. The price
is $40,900. That plane there in the
plane that Byrd flew over the North
Pole in. Notice the snow shoe m~
more which were used Instead of
wheels. Mr. Ford has secured it [or
his museum. This out here is the
landing field where the planes that
carry mail and express to Chicago
and elsewhere land.” “We would
like to see them makingthe motors
for those large planes.” ‘Well, I
am sorry you can’t, but you see the
motors for these planes are made in
the engineering laboratories, and no

brings us to Seven Mile road. We
turn east on this and here is Wood-
ward Avenue and the State Fair
grounds. It seems the beautiful
grounds were never more inviting
than they are this year. It would
seem Michiganders should be proud
of their State Fair grounds. Not
only the grounds, but the buildings
are of the finest and all well kept.
Here is our old parking place, we
will use it again this year. “What
time is it?” Sure it’s only ten o’clock
by our good old farm time, but
eleven by these city clocks. Guess
we better set our watches ahead an
hour, for when in Rome you are sup-
posed to do as the Romans do.

Fine time to see the exhibits. The
crowd hasn’t gathered just yet but
it is coming fast. There is THE
BUSINEss FARMER tent. We will stop
and shake hands .with Mrs. Annie
Taylor, Mr. McColgan (the field man—
ager of circulation), and several of
his field men. We will be here at
five to meet Mr. Slocum and Mr.
Grinnell. Fine visit—fleeting min—
utes—many friends stop and shak-
ing hands is the pass word.

“Going to see the races?” “Sure
thing.” It’s time to go if we expect
to get a seat in the grandstand. The
races are fine, but so are the circus
acts between races. Last act? Where
has the afternoon gone? We can
visit midway now. “Very clean, lots
of entertainment, lots of fun. See,
that man is hypnotising (‘2) that
lady. There he has picked her up
and suspended her in mid air——only
one shoulder rests on that broom.
Let’s move on. There is the Ford
building all boarded up; nothing do-
ing; too busy getting out that new
model to spend any time at the Fair
this year! '

“Four—H Club exhibits are all in
this building except live stock.”
Some exhibition, some class, but it

‘ is lonesome here some way, because

Hillsdale county is not represented
here this year. They could not
come because their leader was in the
hospital. About fifty boys and girls
in Hillsdale county are disappointed.
Wait, they will be back strong next
year!

Another Day
Wednesday morning, and the
dairymen are milking. We secure a
pail of 'milk and are fortunate

enough to get it in the refrigerating
plant. Some supper we will have to-
night. This morning at nine o’clock
at the drive entrance to the inner
field occurs the horse pulling. Today
all teams must weigh over 3,000
pounds. Ten or twelve teams enter.
The test is made on a truck fitted up
with a dynamometer. This belongs
to the agricultural college. Each
team pulls and then the meter is set
up higher. Teams all pull in their
turn. Some dropping out—this is to
be continued until only one team is
left. Looks like it would be that
team, it seems a walk away for them.
No, they are not the largest nor the
fattest team, neither is their harness
the most galiy trimmed with brass,
etc., but look at their muscle. Then
note their training. “It has got to
be done and let’s do it at once,”
seems to be their viewpoint, and
presto, something moves.

Rain? Yes, see it come. We hike
for the horsebarn which is ”not far
distant.
ings are filled to capacity with
people seeking shelter. And rain—
suppose Hillsdale county is getting
any of it? Hope so. A little let up,
just enough to move the crowd out-
doors, and then another downpour.
See theipeorple scurry. Lucky ladies
nowadays, no long skirts to hold up!

Why, is it so late as that? Where
has the day gone?
somewhere. Yes we better go on
grandstand tonight and see the pag-

. eant, “Fall of ,Troy.”

SELLING APPLES WITH SLOT
' MACHINES
“ UT a nickle in the slot and get
a juicy globe of nature’s health
food.” When- apple vending
machines come into general use this
legend or something like it may
- make its appear-
ance in railway
stations, elevat-
ed and subway
stations, and
other public plac—
es where slot
machines are
wont .to reap
their harvest.
The idea of
nickle - in — the
(slot machines
for selling apples
_ has long been
Herbert Natziger' ”thought of and
' talked of by
fruit men and now, it seems, a
practical machine of this kind has
been perfected by a mechanic in
Portland, Oregon. The machine is
thought to be thoroughly workable,
the apples themselves being on dis—
play in a sanitary, ice-cooled, glass
case. The customer drops his coin
into the slot and a big red, or yellow,
apple rolls into'the cup.
That this machine, properly man-
aged ‘could materially increase the
consumption of apples seems a rea—
sonable conclusion. The idea of
selling apples one by one may seem
slow to some folks, but we fear that
these folks have never seen the
Wrigley Building. The Wrigley
Building is a huge Chicago sky—
scraper which, one might say, the
people of America built with their
teeth. By the chewing of little sticks
of chewing gum at one penny per
stick this enormous pile of steel and
stone was reared, and millions in
profits created.
' It would seem that the old slogan
‘ “an apple a day” could really be—
come effective if slot machines con-
taining apples were within easy
reach of city folks. One curious
thing about the average city man is
his almost morbid fear of being con—
sidered a “cheap skate.” The city
man on his way to work in the
.morning might like nothing better
than to buy an apple, to eat with
his lunch, but, do you suppose you
could get him to enter a fruit store,
approach a saleman, and ask for
ONE apple? “Not on your life,
guy. Waddaya think I am, a cheap
skate?‘ Huh! One apple! Say, I
ain’t got that low yet.” Just the
same he would undoubtedly buy one
apple frequently and with pleasure if
he could do so without stirring up
his “cheap-skate” complex. The ap-
gle vending machine should fill the
ill.

(Continued from September 10th issue.)

the head of the Shenandoah valley

and were edging over toward the
hills to the east in preparation for the
break thru to the other side. Had they
been more adventurous or more fool-
hardy, they could have taken the trail
west and got over the headwaters of the
Holston and Clinch. Few settlers were to
the west, however, while in the back
country of North Carolina they would
have plenty of neighbors.

When the train made camp again, Dun-
can did not even dare to suggest keeping
guard again. He was still a bit appre-
hensive, but also very sleepy. He sat by
while the crowd made ready for bed.
The Sawyer girl slept in their wagon and
the wife of Orchard and the smallest
child in theirs. The men and older chil-
dren rolled up by the fire.

It went against the grain of Duncan’s
half Indian training to sleep out in' the
open by a bright fire. He never did it,
and so no one missed him around the
fire. Only Orchard pulled his rifle under
him so no one could sneak it away.

What the boy did was merely to go off
under the farthest wagon—4t was the one
he had ridden in all day—and lie down
behind one of the wheels. He did not
mean to go to sleep, but he put his head
down so that he could see the whole scene
——the fire, the prone figures around it
and the forest beyond, with the whole
picture cut up by the spokes of the wagon
wheel into sections like pieces of cran-
berry pie.

It was some time later that Duncan
came to himself with a start. He was
cold and frightened. Yet as he looked
everything seemed the same. No one had
moved around the fire; the forest was
quiet.

Then suddenly a woman’s scream broke
the stillness. Duncan quivered with ex-
citement, but something kept him still./
He looked toward the fire again, expect—
ing to see the men jump to their feet, the
commotion of a camp alarmed.

He saw nothing more than he had seen
the moment before. The camp fire still
burned steadily. Men stretched out be-
side it quietly. One moved a little. For
a. second, Duncan thought he must have
heard that scream in a nightmare. The
next instant he saw.

Around the fire just back of the men
on the ground stood four silent figures.
The firelight glinted on the barrels of
their pistols. The pistols menaced the
men who lay by the fire.

Pandemonium broke out on Duncan’s‘
left. He gathered that Mrs. Orchard and

THEY were in the broken country at

 

her youngster were being routed out of
the wagon. Hearty masculine curses
sounded.

A man came striding quickly over to
the fire. He kicked the coals and a
flame sprang up. It showed a fellow in
buckskin garb, with his face painted red
and black like an Indian. The light
showed faintly like countenances on the
men, faces like grotesque masks of de-
mons.

“Stand up l” said the leader, and lashed
out with a boot.

Brother Steiner arose.

“Where’s the money?" the bandit asked
shortly.

Steiner shook his head.

The man whipped out a pistol and put
the muzzle to the Moravian’s car. He

bling with the wagons.

“Round the horses up!” he ordered.
“The wagons we won't bother with. Put
anything worth taking in sacks and tie
them on.”

He turned back to Steiner. .

“I know you’ve got it,” he declared.
“And I haven’t time to waste. If you
won’t tell, I’ll just blow the top of your
head off and go on to the next man.”

Brother Steiner said nothing. A long
second passed. Then someone cried out:

“I’ll show you. Don’t shoot himfi’

It was one of the Moravians. The ban-
dit captain jerked the fellow to his feet.
They went off together toward the wagon.
Brother Steiner sank to the ground.

A figure flashed across the space be-
tween the wagons and the fire. A man
got to his knees and'held out his arms.

“Father!” cried a. frightened voice.
“Oh, Dad !"

Duncan's heart began to pound harder.
Still he lay quiet.

The bandit leader came striding back.
He carried a bag in his hand.

' ”Ready?" he asked. “Got their guns?

He turned, then halted suddenly and
moved toward the fire. His voice took on
a, new note.

“What’s this?” he asked. “A girl, eh,
and young, and pretty, too, as sure as
I’m a sinner.”

He reached out a hand. Of a. sudden,
the three figures by the fire took on a,
sudden life, like black silhouettes outlined
against a. fiery curtain. The man on the
ground leaped. The captain, still holding
the girl’s arm, stepped back; there was
ahflash of flame and the crash of a pistol
5 0t.

Suddenly the movement was over.
Sawyer sank slowly to his knees; his head
dropped. The girl hung limp on the man’s
arm. He spoke to one of his men.

“Take her in front of you. No tricks,
mind.” '

They melted into the darkness. Noth—
ing left but a dying fire, five men who
stared at each other, and another who
would never look at anything on this
earth again.

Duncan got to his feet.
all over. Yet he knew what he was going
to do. Quickly he ran toward the timber,
and once in it he made straight for the
sound of branches crashing where a herd
of horses was being driven thru the wood.
He went plunging thru the darkness un-
til the snort of frightened horses, the
crashing of brush, showed the bunch of
captured stock was close at hand. A big
black figure loomed up close at his hand.
Duncan grabbed the mane and jumped.
the horse reared, but..he gained his seat.
Then he put his head down out of the
way of the branches and dug his heels in.
The gelding crashed along. Behind he
could hear the shouts of the raiders as
they crowded at the heels of their capture.

The gallop was soon over.
ured horses, heavy and calm tempered
brutes, slowed down to a trot. They
spread out single file on the narrow trail,
Duncan, still lying flat on his mount’s
back, used his heels and steered his
gelding into the middle of the file. He
knew that there was a man on horseback
amead to lead the file, and probably two
or three behind.

For the mOment there was little dang-
er of discovery. Yet Duncan kept low
enough so that if chance brought him
against the sky-line on a hill, the riders
behind would not be likely to take alarm.

Presently the trot changed to a walk.
The trail grew steeper. It wound up and
up, then descended suddenly and the

first few miles. [The excitement of keep? ‘

ing cover had been ’enough to‘hold hisata
tention. As time went on and his im-
mediate danger seemed to lessen, he was
forced to think of other things.

Brother Steiner had done well, after-A

all. He wouldn’t give up the money if
the other fellow hadn’t told. He was a.
fool, of course, not to carry arms and not
to mount guard, but with that granted——

A thought froze the boy suddenly.

Guard! He had vowed to keep watch
himself. And instead he had gone to
sleep. Suddenly he saw again that scene

around the camp fire, the flash of the
pistol, Sawyer sinking to his knees. That
was his fault. And the girl, riding‘ahead,
her father dead and no hopes for rescue
——for that, too, he was to blame. For a.
moment he experienced all the horror
that must be hers, and slow tears squeez-
ed from his eyes into the horse’s mane,
against which his face was pressed.

On and on they went thru the darkness.
There were stars in the sky, but no moon,
and the faint starlight could break thru
the shadows of the trees only occasion-
ally. Without looking, Duncan knew how
the trail was goingby the plunging stride
of the horses as they Went downhill, and
the shorter steps when they struck a.
grade. His feet lay over the powerful
hips of his mount, and he could feel the
drive of the great hind legs as they went
uphill. Down in the valleys, too, the air
had a. damp coldness, as if the mist had
settled there. Up higher, the keen chilly
wind blew and made Duncan cling tighter
to the horse’s warm back.

Once he dozed off, and came to himself
suddenly to find the sky- gray, and the
trees, instead of blackness, to the right
and left. Up ahead he could make out
very plainly the figure of a lone rider.
He twisted around to peer behind. There

'was a faint murmum of voices, but he

could see nothing.

Duncan began to shake violently. Part-
ly this was because he was could, but
mainly because he knew that something
was going to happen to him. He had
nothing to rely on except his customary
disguise of stupidity. When he rushed
for the horses Earlier in the night, he had
no plan except to go along and be on hand
to do something effecttive if the chance
came. He still had no other plan. Doubts
began to assail him. Would the bandits
—-the paint had not fooled him—shoot
first and question him afterward? He
could still slip off and get away to the
woods. He considered that for a moment,
and, sighing, abandoned it. Time was
everything; only thus could he hope to
work fast enough to—he was thinking of
the girl and what might happen to her.
He got very white under his freckles and
his mouth grew hard; he did not tremble
any longer.

Voices sounded ahead. The line of
horses swerved around a. clump of trees.
There was a. smell of smoke; somewhere
close by a fire had been lighted. Duncan’s

from his horse and made for the fire.
Apparently, he paid no attention to the
others. Over the flames he rubbed his
hands and muttered to himself.

TEXT: “But when it was the good
pleasure of God to reveal his Son in me,
* * * straightway I conferred not with
flesh and blood, * "' * but I went into
Arabia, and again I returned unto Damas-
cus.” Gal. 1:15-17.

N the morning of Christianity, a
I young rabbi had an arresting
and converting experience. The
inner witness, or the revelation of
the Son within him, drove him to
where the Muse of Heaven could
more easily preside over his mind.
This new zealot of the Cross confers
“not with flesh and blood,” but
“straightway’ hies to the haunts of
nature to be alone with God. Here
he finds his true status as a child of
the Kingdom.

“I conferred not with flesh and
blood.” Now isn’t that strange. The
writer recalls that especially in his
early Christian career, he counseled
a great deal with men. But he
knows now, that however honest
some of these men were, they were
incompetent leaders. Traditional
bias had warped their thinking. Paul
had a strict bringing-up in the
church of his day. He was being
molded by the religious leaders. But
one day he woke up. He came to
himself. He discovered that his
training was in religious externals
that were entangling him “in a yoke
of bondage.” “Wretched man that
I am,” said he, “who shall deliver me
out of this death?” His religion
could not heal his sin-wounds. It
did not grip him where he lived.
What about yours, brother? Does
it work? Is it cleansing? Does it
help your standing _with God and
men? But one morning Paul got up
a new man. Something revealing
had broken out on the inside. He
calls it “the Gospel that is not after
man. For neither did I receive it
from man, nor was I taught it; but
it came to me through the revelation
of Jesus Christ.” From this day on,
the apostle vows not to seek “the
favor of men.” For says he, “if I
were still pleasing men, I should not
be a servant of Christ.” Some men
stand out as successful in moral re-
formations; they have attained great
force of character, and liberated
themselves from gross sins; but the
sins of social political, and religious
traditions often couch at their door.
Let us be cautious about such leader-
ship. It so happens that Paul’s day
reaches forward to now, for we still
have those who “would pervert the
Gospel of Christ.” Would you know
your Christian standing? Do you
seek to know from men or God? The
aged counselor, St. John, speaking
out of a ripe experience, says of the
Inner Voice, he “teacheth you con-
cerning all things.” Nothing else
matters quite, so much. ‘

But this is not to say that our
neighbor might not have some valu-
able data on our spiritual condition.
Don’t you think he might 'tell us
whether our Christian profession had
anything else in it but innate self—
regard? Why not occasionally con-
fer with flesh and blood in this re-
gard? The religion of Christ is the
parent of two loves. Have we in-
cluded social love in ours? God has
verified‘the words of a‘wise, old, re-
ligious philosopher in “As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is be.” And
the Son of God has told us that our
religion is measured by our loves.
How do you stand with your neigh-
her? This is far more vital in deter-
mining your status as a Christian
than your church connections. ‘ It is
a mighty good thing to get Matthew
5:23, 24 into your creed. When you
do the church altar will be perfumed
with ;a spiritual incense.

But suppose now that we go into
Arabia to think things over.

of motor-horns, and the blare of
cheap music, thank God, there is
blessed quietness. But thisencour—
ages the muse in one’s nature. In
the companionship of the friendly
fields and silent woodlands, one is
freshly conscious of the Creator, and
disposed to cry out, “Abba, Father.”
Here is fit environment for commun—
ion with God and an unsurpassed
opportunity to check up on one’s
standingwith Him. Here the Inner
V01ce begs for a hearing. It is a
good place to be if you are not
afraid to be alone with your own
thoughts. Christ set the precedent
for this direct communion with God
with all nature looking on, and Paul
follows his example into Arabia.
Doubtless, out there he found the
first sure proof that he was a real
Christian. He afterward stated it in
these words, “The Spirit itself bear-
eth witness with our spirit that we
are the children of God.” John as—
sures us that “If we receive the Wit—
ness of men, the witness of God is
greater.”

Now, methinks most folks’ hearts
are bigger than their heads. The
understanding of the heart exceeds
the intellectual sense. Is that why
the Inner voice appeals to the heart?
The outer voices of the world speak
to the head and often give us a care—
less confidence in ourselves. The
church is careful to see that her
members repeat the creed and attend
the communion table, and this brands
them as Christian. But are they?
The witness of God is greater than
the witness of men. What does the
Inner Voice say? Jesus could hear
this Voice better away from the mad—
dening crowd. So could Paul. Hence
the Arabian tryst. Where do you
go? “Oh,” says the business man,
“I go to the country too. I like to
get close to nature and give my spirit
freedom.” But, Mr. Christian, it
may be seriously doubted that while
other folks are going to Worship on
Sunday morning, you are communing
with God by hitting the road at
forty miles an hour. Are you not
just taking it for granted that you
are a Christian? What evidence does
the Inner Voice submit?

The author of our text assures us
that this voice bears witness with
ours that We are God’s children.
Have you had this testimony? It is
‘flnal and satisfying. Paul was a
young churman and was righteous
according to the church’s standards.
For a time he had great confidence
in such approval and felt “blame-
less.” But it was a delusion. The
secret places of Arabia revealed it to
rhim. Out there the voice of God
could get at his naked spirit. It was
not to be distinguished as coming
from without. Do you have trouble
in knowing whether you are God’s
child? Are you tortured by doubts?
Would you be assured by the church
or some strange, supernatural voice
without? But this is not to be.
When God has a chance he will iden—
tify himself in and through your
spirit and cry out “Abba, Father.”
That one who can say “My Father”
in Christ, is a Christian. To have
this testimony of the Inner Voice is
a most blessed emotion and convic-

tion. Do not be lured by outer
voices and rest in a false com—
placency.

“And again I returned to Damas-
cus.” But the Inner Voice was lead-
ing. There is no danger of one be-
coming a dreamy and impractical
mystic through secret and direct
communion with God. Only this is
safe and acceptable. This gives, us
our directions in life’s journey. It
keeps us from getting lost. It brings
us back to Damascus, quickens our
reactions toward duty, and makes [us
obedient to all the calls of life. 'And
candidly, the test of the inner life is
the outer life. To commune with the

Inner Voice in Arabia is to return in ’

OUR STATE FAIR

HE first State Fair to be held under Governor
Green has come and gone. Just how much
of a financial success it was in comparison to

others held at Detroit during recent years we do
not know. From the attendance standpoint it
was a huge success and no doubt the fiariacial re—
turns will equal or better any previous year. It
is true that the admission fee at the outside gate
was reduced from fifty cents to twenty—five cents
but this loss was made up at the grandstand
where many former free seats were put in the
reserved class and the price of box seats ad—
vanced.

Never were there so many exhibits at the State
Fair as there Were this year. Every space was
taken and tents had to be erected to handle some
of the overflow. Of course, there were weak spots,
the Boys’ and Girls’ Club exhibits being an ex-
ample, but taking it as a whole, we believe the
State Fair showed progress.

 

LET’S HAVE THE TRUTH

HE field survey in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
New York and Pennsylvania to determine
just how effective our corn borer eradication

campaign proved to be will be completed by the
first of October, we are informed, and a report
will be given to the public shortly after that.
Let us hope this report gives us a true picture
of the situation. If the campaign was as success-
ful as expected it should so state, but if it was
not we should know about it. Let us keep our
feet on the ground so that we will be able to put
up a real eflfective fight next year.

 

GETTING THE CHICKEN THIEVES

WO of the thousands of farmer friends to

visit our Service Booth for a chat or stop for

a free drink of ice water and rest a while at

our Service and Rest Tent at the Michigan State

Fair week before last Were Arthur and Charles

Theile who live in Saginaw county, and they had
a very interesting tale to relate.

On the 7th of September they left home, headed
for Detroit, with a load of 119 broilers. As they
were passing through Flint the police stopped
them and informed them they were under arrest
for stealing chickens. They were taken ‘to the
police station where they were questioned careful-
ly and advised that a Shiawasee county farmer
saw them driving along the road with the load of
chickens, though they were thieves, so took their
license number and reported it to the officers.
Reference was quickly furnished but this did not
entirely satisfy the police so they called the sher-
iff of Shiawasee county who advised that thieves
had been active in his territory but if the men
could identify themselves to let them go. Proper
identification was soon furnished and our friends
proceeded on their way to Detroit.

“I am mighty glad they stopped us because it
shows the officers are on their guard," one of

‘ ‘ 7&5 Barthes: Farmer

 

’ our. friends said this“? . _ ‘
get someone who is guilty‘bf‘fllfim." <

With-in'the last twelve months the stealing of".

poultry has taken on an entirely idlierent appear»
ance. M. B. I". started the ball rolling by post—
ing $1,009 to be paid out in rewards, then we
took up the fight for L. J. Wilson, the man who
shot a thief, and was cleared of guilt by the court.
Following this rewards were posted by boards of
supervisors and sheriffs in various sections of the
State. All of this has helped make the life of a
chicken thief a hazardous one. Now our new
laws. one of which requires the registration of all
purchases of poultry made by dealers, are in ef-
fect, and we are looking forward with much in-
terest to what will take place within the next year.

IS AGRICUIII‘URE PASSING?

ILL we live to see the day when agriculture
will receive but very little attention at the
Michigan State College? ‘We will unless

something is done to save the College for the pur-

pose for which it was originally founded—to

serve agriculture. .

That is a rather strong statement to make re-
garding the oldest agricultural college in the
United States, but, nevertheless, we feel it true,
and we do not believe we are the only fol in
Michigan who feel that way. ,

Two years agothis last spring a bill to chan
the name of the Michigan‘Agricultural College to
Michigan State College was put before the Legis-
lature. We opposed that bill, making a lone
public stand on it, because we believed that we
saw the “handwriting on the wall,” that it was
but the opening gun of a campaign to gradually
force agriculture out the program of the College.
We fought the bill until it went down to defeat,
to appear later with “of Agriculture and Applied
Science” attached to the end of the new name
which made it read “Michigan State College of
Agriculture and Applied Science." This was no
better than before in our estimation because we
felt the latter part of the name would be dropped
anyway, thus gaining the purpose of the sponsors
of the original bill, so we fought it. For a time
things were in our favor but students in the
“applied science" raided the capitol, taking our
lawmakers by storm, and before the clouds
cleared away the revised bill was passed. '

They had at last removed the “hay seeds" from
the name of the_College and now it remained for
them to get them out of the College program.
Are they doing it? Visit the College and see for
yourself. Notice the new buildings. Also notice
the cramped quarters of the various departments
devoted to agriculture. After that you will be

.able to answer the question in a way that will

satisfy the majority. Then there are other things
not visible to the eye that confirm what your eyes
tell you.

How long will this change continue? That is
not a question for us to answer. It is a question
for the people to decide. We have one University
of Michigan and we do not believe that we need.
another to duplicate the work being done by the
first. If the University is not large enoughto ac-
commodate all who wish to attend then it should
be enlarged. Our agricultural college was estab-
lished to teach agriculture, to train the future
leaders in one of the most honorable professions
there is on God’s green earth, and at a time when
there is increasing need for this training the Col—
lege appears to be slowly but surely changing its
attitude toward the farmers. ..

Whose fault is it!" Is it purely the fault of
the people, of the voters? Is not our State Board
of Agriculture aware of this change and fighting
tooth and nail to stop it? We can not answer
the question as to who is to blame, but we are
going to find out, if possible, before we get
through. ' .

SOLVIN G FARM SURPLUS PROBLEM

EN interested in the welfare of the farmer
are beginning to talk less about a back—to-
, the—farm movement and suggesting that
possibly we have too many farmers. It has al-
ways been our contention that the surest way to
cut production in any industry is to reduce the
number of producers. In many lines production
can be completely controlled but not in the farm-
ing game. The weather has more to say about
production of farm products than does the farm-
er. Also the farmer is not organized well enough
to do much controlling. , ’
However, we would like to see a plan worked
out whereby the present number of farmers would
be‘able to enjoy a higher, plane of living, rather
than make slaves of a fewer number. Seems like
something can be done along that line.

- PETER PLOW’S PHILOSOPHY o

 

 

 

A Supreme Court Judge suggests that the world
would be a hull lot better off if some mothers
would-give less attention to face liftin' and think
more about soul liftin’. Amen, judge, amen!

 

Even though twenty different airplanes have at-
tempted this ’cross the ocean flyin’ and only nine
made it there are still plenty of folks ready and
anxious to try their luck at it. Some folks would
do anything to get their name in the paper or
see themselves in motion pictures. Barnum was
right! .

 

I read where a city newspaper editor claimed
that folks ain't carryin’ jackknives like they used
to. Well, maybe they ain’t got no time these busy
days to set and Whittle. At least that’s the farm-
er’s position. Then, too, whittlin’ ain't as excitin'
as it was durin’ the days before the automobile,
the movin' pictures and appendicitis.

 

Just when we get ' to thinkin’ that feller,
Browne, from Washington, who predicted no sum-
mer this year, knew what he was talkin’ about
along comes a couple of hot days that makes you
want to live in the ice-box.

Ever hear this one? Little Bobby’s pa run a
garage and he was always hangin' around watch-
in’ him fix cars. One day While he was in the
house he saw the cat settin’ in the window purrin'
loudly with eyes closed. Runnin’ to his ma he
says, “Come quick! The cat has gone to sleep
and left his engine runnin’!”

WATCH OUT FOR THIS FELLOW

N Ionia pounty subscriber was
called on during July by a man
claiming to be “F. P. Holmes,

salesman for the Globe Manufactur-
ing 00., 2662 Front St., Peoria, Ill.”
He stated his company specialized in
tailor made service coats, pants.
overcoats, and aprons at very attrac-
tive prices. A deposit of a dollar
was made with him to bind the deal
and the balance paid when the goods
were received. Our friend ordered
two pair of pants, paid the agent the
necessary dollar and awaited receipt
of his goods. He understood it would
take a couple of weeks before they
could get them made up and shipped
but at the end of a month he was
still waiting. Perhaps a letter to the
company would find out what was
wrong. But it didn’t, it was re-
turned unopened. Then our sub-
scriber wrote to us to learn if we
could help him. We sent a letter to
the company whose name and ad-
dress appeared on our friend’s re-
ceipt and we got the same results he
did—our letter was returned. Our
next letter was to the postmaster of
that city who replied, “I wish to
state that we do not have any such
street and number in our city, and
the Globe Mfg. Co., at such "an ad-
dress is unknowu at our office. We
do have a firm by this name, a large
manufacturer of paints, but all mail
addressed to the Globe Mfg. Co.,
2662 Front Street, is being marked
‘unknown' and returned to the writer
from this office.’

Feel thankful, neighbor, that it
was only one dollar you invested in
experience. You can consider that a
cheap lesson.

 

UNORDERED MERCHANDISE
snows UP AGAIN

GAIN we hear of the unordered
merchandise scheme. This time
it it “Mrs. Ellwood McCloskey”

who claims to be the aged widow of
the late “Ellwood McCloskey, The
Old War Horse,” a blind man who, it
is said, made his living selling three
knit ties for a dollar. a

A Sanilac county reader got on
“Mrs. McCloskey’ s” mailing list in
some way so he received three ties.

I Not wanting them he returned them

at once, and since then has been re-
ceiving dunning letters, requesting
that he remit $1 for the three ties
she sent him. “Not While I have my
right mind,” says our friend. Maybe
the widow' 5 list of suckers are prov-
ing to be something besides poor fish.
She should profit by the experiences
of “Paunee Bill" and “Necktie
Tyler” who recently went bankrupt,
although they were backed by a knit-
ting mill.

ARRAL’S TIKA TEA

At your earliest convenience will
you please inform me regarding the
Arral’s Tika Tea Company, of Grant-
wood, N. J. ?—Mrs. K.

RRAL’S TIKA TEA is supposed
to be “The Perfect Flesh Reduc—
er” 9 'l the company claims to

have letters to prove their statement.
Possibly there are folks who have
used their “tea” and lost weight but
that does not prove to us that it is
the right thing to use to reduce:

The American Medical Ass’n ad—
vises ’us that these so—cailed fat re-
ducers are divided into two classes:
those which contain thyroid and
those that c tain no thyroid. The
first class is dangerous, unless given
under doctor’s directions and the
second class is useless in reducing
fat unless they contain something
that interferes with the digestion of
the food. This would eventually be
harmful to the digestive system.

If you want to reduce do so under
the eye of a competent physician.

publishing this story we have learned
that We were in error, that the boys
did not plead “guilty” but entered
a plea of “not guilty.” We are sorry

want to do anyone an injustice.

When you invest money the rate of in-
terest is important. But the promptness
with which that interest is paid is just
as important!

Some investments pay more than 6‘/2%.
But few of them assure the prompt pay-
ment that is a feature of the First Mort-
gage bonds issued by the Federal Bond
85 Mortgage Company.

These bonds pay 6‘/2 per cent. The in-
terest is due twice a year. And when it’s
due if is paid—right on the dot!

In all the company’s history there has
never been a day’s delay—not even an
hour’s—in payment of interest or prin-
cipal due.

Consider this feature when you invest
money. To know that interest will be
paid, without worry or effort on. your
part, is important to you. Just as im-
portant as the rate of interest.

CREPE SATIN LEADS AMONG
WOMEN’S FABRICS

IF you are planning your fall

clothes, you should consider

crepe satin by all means. For
several seasons this has been an out-
standing fabric and it takes its place
at the head of the list at the present
time. Returning stylists report
many frocks of crepe satin shown at
the Paris openings, and most of the
New York shops are calling attention
to them. Black leads, with reds and
browns next in importance.

Crepe satin gowns are usually
fashioned so that the two surfaces
of the material offer all the decor-
ation needed, and they suit the needs
of very many women. With a grow-
ing tendency toward simplicty in its
design such a frock has an appeal
that cannot be over estimated. Both
young girls and older women wear
it successfully.

For the indispensable “all occa—

sion dress, crepe satin has no equal.
It may be tailored, ‘or cut with flares
and frills to suit one ’s fancy.
It wears well and dry cleans per-
fectly so that aside from its style
value it is an economical choice.
Prices vary but it is usually advis-
able to get as good a quality as can
be afforded. It pays in the end.

 

 

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS
FOR WINTER
LD BIDDY is at her highest
point of efficiency during these
summer months. Her product
is reasonably priced.

Next winter she takes her vaca-
tion and the price of eggs may go up.

These are reasons why eggs for
winter use should be preserved now.
Extension specialists in foods and
nutrition at South Dakota State Col-
lege say that for home use, the best
method to use in preserving eggs is
to place them in a solution of water
glass, which is sodium silicate and
can be purchased at most drug
stores. .

“Eggs so preserved may be kept
for 8 to 12 months in excellent con-
dition and used with good results,"
they declared. “The process costs
approximately three cents per dozen
eggs when the price of sodium sili-
cate is about forty cents a quart.

“Eggs must be fresh and clean
and, if possible, infertile, if satisfac-
tory results are to be obtained.
When an egg is only slightly soiled,
a cloth dampened with vinegar can
be used to remove the stain; but
under no circumstance should badly
soiled eggs be used for preserving."

To preserve 15 dozen eggs in
water glass, the College gives the

following directions:

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

The solution thus prepared is
ready for the eggs, which may be
put in all at once or from time to

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

Edited by MRS. mum rams

Sunshine and fresh air scored another victory week

before last when the prizes were awarded to the best babies at
that'State Fair, as nearly all of these children came from the suburbs
of Detroit where they had room to play outside.
if our boys and girls appreciate the great privilege of living in God’s
great out of doors? Fresh air and sunshine!

The great city of Detroit has many things to be proud of, but surely
not of the air which its people breathe; each morning last week as we
approached the fair grounds, the sky looked as though a black cloud
had settled over the‘city, and it is always the same.

Fresh air is the most necessary element in human life, and, surpris-
Wc need only to open our doors and
windows to receive this precious gift‘and spend as much time as possi-
ble in the open air. Every child should be allowed to play outside
whenever weather permits and if properly dressed, will be benefited 4
by the winter as well as summer days.

Then, with proper diet, these little folks are building sturdy bodies
which can resist illness andinfection.
sometnies overtake our families, but the general health of the family
is not a matter of luck. .A locomotive can not get up steam on saw-

With vegetable salads and the may-
onnaise thinned with milk is a deli-

salads. The addition of. tomato
ketchup or chili sauce to mayonnaise
makes a spicy, Russian dressing.
Chopped pickles, olives and pimento
or peppers transform it into Thou-
sand Island mayonnaise. A few
spoonfuls of cottage cheese mixed
with the mayonnaise considerably
increases the food value and makes
it particularly good with pineapple,

banana, tomato, or other fruit

whipped cream dressing may be

made by folding into the mayon-
naise some stiffly beaten cream.
Chopped, hard—Cooked egg and green
peppers give a new zest to the dress-
ing for vegetable salads, and green
mayonnaise can be made by adding
cooked spinach or green peas that
have been pressed through a fine
sieve. Thus, with a few basic ingre-
dents many salads can be made.

Table Service.——Points in carving. It
sometimes happens that a deliciously
cooked roast is practically ruined due to
the manner in which it is carved. In
order to carve meat successfully, one
must know the direction in which the
muscular fibres lay. The meat should be
cut across the grain in uniform slices
except for certain very tender cuts of
meat when it may be cut with the grain.
Enough meat should be cut to provide for
everyone at the table before any of it is
served.

To carve roast beef, rib or sirloin.—

'Place the roast on the platter with the

ribs protuding to the left. Insert the
fork in the lean meat and with the knife
cut the slices across the grain until the
bone is reached. Separate the slices by
cutting the meat from the bones.

Short rib of beef.—Place the meat on
the platter with the ribs in the rear. In-
sert the fork in the roast and with the
knife cut downward slices between the
bones. If the roast is large, out two
slices from each section.

Beef steak—Being very tender, 'it is
carved with the grain in pieces of serv-
ing size. It is well to ask the person who
is being served, if the meat is desired
rare, medium or well done.

Leg of Lamb or pork—Place the roast
on the platter the small end to the right.
Insert the fork in the left of the roast
and with the knife cut thin slices down-
ward toward the bone from the small end
of the roast. Insert knife at the first slice
and cut horizontally along the bone from
the right to the left under the slices.

Roast lion of pork—Place the roast on
the platter with the ribs away from the
carver. Insert the fork to the left end

Keep Record of Family Measurements

RECORD of the measurements
of each member of the family is

a short-cut in home sewing that '

saves time and fittings. The meas-
urements may be divided into three
groups; those necessary for buying
a pattern, such as the bust, chest,
and hip measure; those needed in
checking the size of the pattern and
in cutting the garment, and those
needed for finishing the garment.
With these on hand, the home seam-
stress can go ahead with her sewing
without having to take measure.

Mary or John’s waist measure can be

Patterns for children's, as well as
for adults’, clothing should be
bought by bust, chest or hip measure

rather than by age, because 9. nor-'

mal child may vary considerably in

amount of material needed for any
commercial pattern is accurately
determined by the company that
makes it andis marked on the pat-
tern envelope. The woman who is
tall for her breadth, or who prefers
her skirts longer than those decreed
by fashion, should check the amount
of material indicated on the pattern
with the actual finished length which
she likes her garments to be, and
allow more material if necessary.

THE WIDOW IN THE COTTAGE B!
' THE SEA
Just one year ago toda love,

I became your happy bride;
Changed a mansion for a cottage,
To dwell by the river side;

You told me I'd be happy
But no happiness I see—-
For tonight I am a widow.
In a cottage by the sea.
Chorus:

Alone, all alone, by the sea-side he left me,-

And no other bride I’ll be;
For in bridal flowers he decked me,
In the cottage by the sea.

From my cottage by the sea-side,
I can see my mansion home,
I can so those hills and valleys,
Where with pleasure I have roamed:
The last time that I met him,
on! how happy then were we—

-But tonight, I am a widow.

In the cottage by the sea.

Oh! my poor and aged father,
How in sorrow he would wall,
And my poor and aged mother,
How in tears, her eyes would swell;
And my poor and only brother,
0 how he would weep for me,
If he only knew his sister,
Was a widow by the sea.

For the Movie Fan

 

 

Metropolis.—The United States leads the
world in production of motion pictures
and probably always will but every now
and then the Europeans turn out a pict-
ure that compares (in my estimation)
very favorably with American productions.
“Metropolis” is the latest one I have seen
and if you want to see something different
i recr mmend it to you. It is built around
the supposition that some day our large
cities may be owned by one man with all
of the space on the earth occupied by
factories and all workers living under
ground in apartments along streets where
daylight is unknown. Body and soul the
workers belong to the'owner of the city
and they are worked until some faint
away and are put to one side so others
may take their places. God is forgotten
until one day the tide truns against this
sort of rule and the workingman again

EAR girls and boys: Now that

you are again settled down to

your work in school I suppose
you are finding time to think of
The Children’s Hour (also Uncle
Ned) and you are wondering who
won our Corn Contest. Well, I am
prepared to tell you and I know you
will be very much surprised to know
that a boy won first prize but it is
true. Gerald F. King is his name and
he lives near Snover, Mich. He gets
a nice flashlight that will help him
see to get around when he is late
doing chores. Mildred Mundy, R. 3,
Linden, got second prize which was
a very pretty box of stationery, and
she can, take that as a hint to write
often to me. The schoolbag which
was third prize ought to come in very
handy nOW'that school is again in
session ad I hope Martha Wilson, of
R. 1, Box 55, Alma, likes it. And
Lawrence Marsh, of Novell, winner
of fourth prize, should not think I
intend for him to play hooky from
school because I sent him a dandy
fish pole. No indeed. I want him to
get his lessons and be a good stu—
dent so‘ that he can feel that he is
entitled to go fishing on Saturday
once in a while because of his good
work.

So that you may compare the an—
swers you sent in with the correct
ones I am listing them for you. They
are: Corning, N. Y.; cornice; cor-
ner; cornstone; acorn; corn bread;
cornerstone; cornet; Cornwall; corn-
crackers; cornstarch; Cornwallis;
cornpipe; corncobs; corn borer;
cornea; corn flakes; Cornish; corner—
Wise.

Now for a new contest. This is
another one that is entirely diflerent
from any we have ever had and it is
called “Find the Fish.” In each of
the following 12 sentences the name
of a common fish is hidden and you
are to find them. The first one is
herring. Do you thing you can find
the others?

1. Hazel finally found her ring.

2. The big car passed the little
one.

3. The bull headed for the girl
wearing the red dress.

4. He paid ten cents per chance.

5. The mailman said, “That
route of mine is a long one.”

6. The snob assured us We Were
not welcome.

7. The picker,
basket filled first.

8. The sunshine
very bright.

9. The boys had a fine game of
ball.

10. Will Mr. Schram ask a long—
er question?

11. The folks who came in the
Cadillac at fishing time had an acci—
dent on the way home.

12. Few hale and hearty folks
are given to complaining. _

There will be four of our Mystery
Prizes and they will go to the first
four who send in a correct or near-
est correct list of the fish mentioned,
and the closing date to this contest
is October 5th. Any letter post—
marked lat-er than that date can not
be considered. Be sure to sign your
name and address. Now let’s see
how good you are at this kind of ,a.
contest—«UNCLE NED.

Our Boys and Girls,

 

 

Dear Uncle Nah—Remember way back
in 1923? That was when I wrote my first
letter. The letter wasn’t published but

Motto: Do YOU
Colors: BLUE AND, GOLD

my name was there under the title of
other letters received. How proud I felt
to see my name in the paper. I am sweet
sixteen. I wonder why‘they call it “sweet”
because I didn’t find it any sweeter than

fifteen. I have six brothers one of whom
is married. That still leaves five to “deal
with.” Brothers are all right as long as

they don’t get the idea that “girls aren’t
any good.” Am I right, Uncle Ned?

This time of the year they are all so
interested in baseball that they hardly
have time to tease.

Is Willie Wastebasket still sleeping or
did my chattering wake him up? Any-
way I don’t think he could swallow this
for fear he’d choke on the scribbling. Love
to all the cousins and Uncle nod—Frances
Hufnagel, Fowler, Mich.

—,—Welcome back, stranger! Yes, you are
welcome, even though you do sort of take
a. “dig” at “us men folks.” But I know
you do not mean it, because you would
miss your brothers very much if they
were not around to tease you. Now,
wouldn’t you? ‘

Dear Uncle Ned.~—~Here I am again but
I just can’t stay away. We had so much
fun last Sunday that we just can’t keep it
to ourselves.

Three of my girl friends came over and
fun, well, you can immagine because we
had a. pile of old-fashioned clothes about
two feet high. Two of us dressed up as
ladies and two as men.

Pictures! We took eighteen. Perhaps

the finishers at Alma thought we were a.

actly. It’s alright on top.”

bunch that had escaped the asylum. Well,
Uncle Ned, you wouldn’t blame them for
thinking so if you’d see the pictures.

We were short on lipstick so what do
you suppose we did? We used cake color!
I’ll tell the world we washed pretty long
before we had it off again. The cake
color was about as hard to, get off as
mother's wedding waist that I wore. Ha!
Ha!

It took me an hour and one—half to get
supper. No one choked during supper, to
my great surprise, because we laughed
almost more than we ate. After doing
the dishes (and we didn’t break any
either) more pictures were taken.

We tried to dance later on in the even—
ing but I guess the victrola’s vocal cords
are a trifle weaker than our were. We
gossipcd until nearly eleven o’clock. Then
the “bunch” decided it was “bedtime” and
I guess all of us needed rest after such
a day. When pictures are sent in to pub—
lish on our picture page are they re-
turned?

I would like to get a button. What
must I do to get one? I don’t want to
crowd out all the other nieces and neph-
ews cntircly so I’ll say good—bye for now.
—Your want—to—bc niece and cousin,
Frances Hufnagel, Fowler, Michigan.

—You surely must of had a lot of fun.
Send me some of those pictures so I can
publish them, wont you. All of us are
anxious to see how you looked. Just like
a picture from the family album, I sup-
pose. You want a pin? Well, I am send-
ing one, also] a card containing our pledge,
and ask that you take this pledge so you
may become a. good member of our Club.
Of course, all members, to be in good
standing, must write often to me.

all things; and yet no man need feel in-
ferior to very many.

MOST HELPFUL EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES

REGARD Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work as affording one of the most
helpful and valuable educational advantages that have ever been
available to the boys and girls of the farm. Through club work,
not only do our young people learn improved methodsin agriculture,
home making, etc., but the work as conducted is one of the greatest
influences in building the highest type of character and giving our
youth the proper outlook on life tin general.
with the manner in which the work is being carried on in Michigan.

Asthma Tortured
Him 50 Years

Says cough

 

Finally escaped its clutches.
and wheeze gone.

 

Those who have endured years of suf~
fering from asthma and bronchial cough
will be glad to read, how Marion Brown,
San Angelo, Texas, go rid of the disease

after a lifetime of illness. Mr. Brown
writes: .
“I had asthma. all my life. It came

upon me when I was a baby and I am.

now 51 years old. I have tried about

everything, never'obtaining any more them
a little temporary relief, and I have gone

all through life with this terrible affliction.

One year ago in May, as a last resort, I.
tried Nacor. At the time I was so weak
I could hardly walk, coughing with nearly
every breath, and hadn’t had a nights
sleep in bed for ten weeks. On the second
day‘ my cough began to leave me,. and
from that time on I improved steadily._I
began getting good sleep and gaining in
weight, Today my asthma is entirely
gone. I don’t choke up or‘ wheeze at all,
so I feel sure I am at last entirely rid of
the disease.” .

This remarkable statement is only one
of many from \former VICtImSVOf asthma.
and severe bronchial cough, who have told
how their trouble disappeared and never
returned. ,
full of valuable information about these
stubborn diseases will gladly be sent
free by Nacor Medicine Co. ,_

‘ministrations’

 

 

marketing measure
where it is proposing to loan money
to cooperatives for storage and sta-

. bilization of prices.
‘ First,pit'would penalize the coop-'
_erativesmand reward those who un—

dertook no risk if the movement suc—
ceeded. '

Second, if it failed all the loss
would be at the expense of the co—
operators or the United States gov-
ernment to the extent of'loans made
twifli the consequent discredit of,co~
operative movements, and farm re-
lief legislation.

Third, the mathematics of the Ad—
ministration measure is always with
a major portion unaffiliated and the
ability of ths majority to manipulate
and outgeneral the minority.

Fourth, with a board to control
and care for surplusage—-—as under
the McNary-I—Iaugen bill—the corpor-
ations to be created would do a cer-
tain amount of price fixing as to the
surplus and in this way determine
a price level, above which prices
might- range but never could go be—
low. These corporations would al-

.ways absorb the surplus. The ad—

ministrative measure creates no
power except the option of the co—
operative bodies and these, for the

‘reasons previously given, always at

the mercy of non-controlled holding
of their respective commodities, must
hesitate.

Fifth, the equalization fee is the
answer of an unsubdued and unsub-
s-idized agriculture with the will to
pay its own way. However, the su-
preme merit of this fee is the ability
of the commodity body to penalize
continued over plantings. For ex-
ample" the bean commodity corpor—
ation with a six million bushel crop
in 1925, with an equalization fee say
of 25 cents per bushel, and a 2,000,-
000 bushel carry— —over into 1926
would have announced a probable

(Continued tram Page 3)

50 cent fee per bushel to prevent
another crop of that size to pile it-
self on top of the then carry-over.
This is the effective [means of acreage

adjustments only after a surplus has

been cared for. The administration
measure makes no provision for such
adjustments, but rather encourages
production up to the elimit of gov-
ernment loans, and leads to a “cul
de sac” or a road without an outlet.

Sixth, the real objection by the
interests opposed to the McNary—
‘I—Iaugen bill, is, because for the first
time agriculture would collectively
name a price level below which offer-
ing will not be made. If the market
will not take the product the surplus
control corporation does and in this
way the collective price is made
good.

Seventh, no one claims that high
prices would follow a continued pil-
ing up of products. The equaliza-
tion fee comes in to automatically
penalize over plantings and in pro-
portion to those who offend—i. e.,
the acreage plunger who figures he
can guess the market and multiplies
his acreage.

Eighth, the administration can
make no claims to initiative or ori—
ginality in farm relief legislation.
The President’s “best minds” com-
mission report was negative in every
suggestion, save one, and that was
for the farmer to grow more clover
seed. In fact this report was so
barren, that I doubt if any of Tm:
BUSINESS FARMER readers can recite
a single suggestion thereof. With
each recurrence of a method to ac—
tually give agriculture a hand in
price making by an increasing vote
in congress, the administration has
come forward with a measure that
stopped short of this accomplish-
ment. The administration may mean
well, but in .a very feeble manner
interprets agricultural problems.

Did You Go to the Michigan State Fair?

(Continued from page 4)

every class several times what it was.
To me the display was misleadin’
because it looked like there isn’t
much bein’ done in Michigan along
the line of club work, but I know
there is. Couldn’t be the amount of
the prizes because they were very
liberal. Well, then, what was wrong?
I’ll bet many folks asked themselves-
that same question. Who can an:
swer it? '

Somethin’ else I missed was the'

Farm Bureau and the Farmers’
Clubs. I found the Grange and the
Gleaners alright but neither of the
others. What I would like to see
next year when I go down to the
Fair would be a buildin’ known as
the farmers’ organizations buil‘din’
and in this buildin’ would be the
Farm Bureau, Grange, Gleaners,
Farmers’ Clubs, State farm papers,
Michigan Potato Growers’ Exchange,
Michigan Milk Producers Ass’n.,
Michigan Fruit Growers, Inc., Michi—
gan Live Stock Exchange, and all
other organizations in the State that
are concerned with the farmer. It
wouldn’t take a very large buildin’
as each one would need only a small
amount of space to make a little dis-
play regarding its work and there
should be one person in charge of
each display to answer questions.
Don’t you think that would be a

.good idea? Maybe they could be

all worked into the agricultural
buildin’ .

Another thing I didn’t think so
well of was givin’ over so much of
the space in the agricultural buildin’
to the city folks that was raisin’
flowers. ‘I like flowers and think
they ought to have a nice show of
them each year, but‘not in the agri-
cultural buildin’ because that build-
in’ should be for agriculture only.

. Amusements
Yes, I can imagine that some of

you tellers are wonderin’ if I ain’t
goin’ to say anything about the mid- .

way. There was plenty of midway
alright with good shoWs, rides and
games. I ain’t told Martha yet that
I took in a couple of them shows
and spent eighty cents tryin’ to win
one of them capes dolls but I suppose
’ out it. some dayi

does I’ll never hear the last of it.
Martha says I had too good a time,
she hears, and next year she’s goin’
too if I go. That means I got to
begin savin’ right now so we will
have the money ready next year
’cause I’m going to be there. Maybe
I’ll se you there next year.

17 RADIO STATIONS DROI’PEI)
EVENTEEN radio stations were
dropped from the roll of the
federal radio commission Sep—
tember 7th, either by their own re-
quest of for failure to apply for re-
newal of their licenses. Among these
were WREO of the Rec Motor Co.,
Lansing and WTHO of the W. J.
Thomas Broadcasting 00., Detroit.
WREO will be missed very much by
folks in the central part of the State
as it sent out some excellent pro—
grams. The other stations dropped
were out of the State and most of
them of low power.

I have been reading your good paper
with much interest since becoming ac-
quainted with it about three years back,
and it is a. shame that we do not take
time to express our appreciation for the
good work you are doing oftener than we
do. The various departments are equally
good in their place—H. M. Vixie, Berrien
County.

We certainly think your paper fine and

it helps the farmer in so many ways. .

Everything it contains is interesting.—
James Abbot, Jr., Midland County.

gives the poultryman
all the facts

T IS your right as a feeder to know exactly

what you are buying in a mixed feed. Just a
list of the ingredients used does not give you
this information. Only through the open
formula, which states the amount of each feed
used in making a ton of the mixture, can you
get the facts you want to know.

These facts are yours when you buy a bag of
AMCO EGG MASH. A tag similar to the one
shown above is attached to every bag. It tells
you what is in the mash and how much.

Amco adopted this formula after it was recom-
mended by the poultry feeding experts of three
colleges of agriculture. It gives you the highest
feeding value at a price no higher than you pay
for secret formula mixtures. Try a bag of AMCO
EGG MASH today. You can get it from your
Authorized Amco Agent.

100,000 Miles Without Stopping for 011

An inventor who co (1 develop an airplane which
would perform such a feat would be considered a
wonder. But such is the record of regular
‘11“ accomplishment by the Auto-oiled Aermotor
$11 in pumping water.
"" Did you ever stop to think how many revolutions the
wheel of a windmill makes? If the wheel of an Aermotor should
roll along the surface of the ground at the same speed that it
. makes when pumping water it would encircle the world 1n 90 days,
‘ or would go four times around 1n a year. It would travel on an_
average 27 5 miles per day or about 30 miles per hour for 9 hours
each day. An automobile which keeps up that pace day after day
needs a thorough oiling at least once a week. Isn’t it marvelous,
i then, that a windmill has been made which will go 50 times as long as the best
automobile with one oiling and keep it up for 25 or 30 years?
The Auto-oiled Aermotor after many years of service in every part of the
’ world has proven its ability to run and give the most reliable service with one
oiling a year. The double gears, and all moving parts, are entirely enclosed and
flooded with oil. Aermotors and. Aermotor Towers withstand the storms.

Good Poultry Show at'State Fair

“ HE poultry show is good and the
display of production classes
is double what it ever was be-
fore." That is what Prof. C. G. Card
head of the Department of Poultry
Husbandry, M. S. -C., told the M. B.
F. reporter when asked what he
thought of it. In previous years
09137 part of the poultry building was
given over to the purpose for which
it waS‘ constructed but this Year
poultry and pet stock filled it right
to the doors. Prizes were fairly lib—
eral, there .beng $9,664.00: for poul-
try and pet stock, compared with
$14,227.00 for horses, $23,629.00 for
cattle, $7,477.00 for sheep and wool,
and $8,593.00 for swine. .

the Larro-‘fed flock

That is the kind of winter laying that puts money in
the bank. Larro Egg Mash makes such production
possible because it is especially designed to meet
modern production requirements. It is different from
any ration you have ever fed -— a feed that marks the
beginning of a new era in poultry husbandry.

Larro Egg Mash makes every bird yield the utmost
profit of which she is capable, not just for a month or.
two but all the year round. It has just the right amount
of buttermilk—the necessary vitamins, minerals and
egg making materials—all in a uniform mixture of
Larro-blended ingredients that keeps health at the peak
and gives you more eggs and more profit over feed
cost than any other ration.

ENERAL conditions are regarded
as promising for the next year,
making due allowance for short

corn crops in a number'states in the
corn belt. A short time ago the
chairman of the federal farm loan

from all sources for the year will
be more than a billion greater than
in 1926. It is safe to say that com—
mercial corn will command far high-
er market prices than last year’s
crop, and oats and rye should sell
well, but it appears to be somewhat
doubtful at least whether wheat
. prices average much if any higher.
1 When market prices for live stock
1 are investigated every stock grower
may be said to feel much disappoint-
ed over the 1927 slump in hogs,
which was far more than any de—
1 cline in prices for fresh and cured
l; hog meats in the retail markets. As
for the future, it is most likely that
most farmers of the corn states will
continue in the hog business, and
probably high-priced corn will cause
good advances in hogs. The cattle
' industry has made a splendid record,
due to a genuine shortage of both na-
tives and rangers and a large de-
mand, and within a short time prime
heavy and yearling steers have
topped the Chicago market, bringing
the highest prices of the year. There
. is a wide range of prices, but even
ordinary grassy steers sell much
higher than in recent years. Grass
is good in grazing districts, and the
demand for stocker and feeder cat-
tle is active at $7.75 to $8.75. Mich—
igan farmers maintain many flocks
of sheep, and the industry thrives in
spite of greatly excessive marketings
in packing points of late. Many
. high-grade flocks are being started.
‘ and breeding ewes are sold at $6.50
to $14. Range light weight feeding
lambs are bought in Chicago at $13
to $14 per 100 pounds to go to farm—
ing districts. A startling increase in
the grape crop in the last ten years
is reported.
\Vatching the Corn Grow

This is an exceptional year in the
growth of corn, and while all reports
agree that the short acreage and
damage to the crop during the long
period of cold, rainy weather mean
a reduced yield and much soft corn,
the late appearance of hot weather is
doing wonders to the development of
both early and late planted corn. To
a large extent corn has done much
better ill the far west and southwest
than in most of the states compris—
ing the corn belt of the middle west,
and farmers of Nebraska, Montana
and Wyoming engaged in raising corn
and other grain crops are in the most
prosperous condition for years.

Farmers have been watching the
growth of their corn and hoping that
the crop will mature before early
frosts get a chance to do any serious
injury. Unusually hot September has
worked wonders, and it is now ex-
pected that the crop will much ex—
ceed the late estimate of the De—
partment of Agriculture. Prices are
still much higher than a year ago,
while far below those of several
weeks ago, recent sales being 28
cents under the previous high time.
Such hot weather is a novelty in
September, thermometers registering
75, and reports pointing to a crop of
2,500,000,000 bushels. However, the
real test will come a few weeks later
when early frosts are to be feared.
Oats are selling at an advance of sev-
eral cents over prices paid a year
ago on account of serious damage to
the crop, while rye and barley sold

.a little higher than last year. The
early advance in wheat has been lost
because of the liberal marketing, and
prices are lower than at this date in
1926. The Canada spring wheat crop
is estimated at 400,000,000 bushels,
and it is estimated that North Amer—
ica will have 500,000,000 bushels for
export. .

cattle, their production being far be-

cent arrivals of cattle in the Chicago
and other markets were greatly in-

ceipts in all western packing points
are much under recent years. Grassy
short fed cattle comprise a big share
of the'receipts, yet even these sell
far higher than in recent years.
Steers have been. selling at $9 to
$15.75, largely at $10 to $14.90, with
heavy lots_ at the top and yearlings
close to them. A year ago cattle sold
at $8 to $12. Fat heifers sell at
$6.50 to $12.75 and stockers and
feeders at $7 to $10.
The Advance in Hogs

The advance in hogs in recent weks
was brought about by inadequate re-
ceipts at a time when the require—
ments of local packers and eastern
shippers were greater than the sup-
ply, yet prices were still much lower

than in recent years, hogs selling in

OATS
Oats are weaker along with wheat
and corn but meet of the time the
market has shown independent
strength. Some appear to thinkoats
a good grain to store at present
prices.

 

RYE
Here is another grain that has
acted quite "independent of wheat
and corn and prices advanced while
they declined in other markets. Rye

is being stored at some points, there -

being a feeling higher prices will
come.

BEANS

A few favorable reports on beans
are received but they are very few.
Predictions are that if we have any-
thing like reasonable weather the
trend of the market will be down-
ward. The only reasonwe can figure
out for that is the fact that so many
farmers rush their supply to market
just as soon as they are threshed, be-
cause the total production this year,
unless we are mistaken, will not war-
rant low prices. New York reports
serious damage and California will

Chicago for $9.50 to $12.10, compar-
ing with $9.50 to $13.60 a year ago.
Market supplies this year make a
small show when compared with av—
eraged years. The combined receipts
for the year to late date in seven
western packing points were 16,445,—
000 hogs, comparing with 22,212,000
for the same time in 1924.

 

\VHEAT
Bearish crop reports from Can-
ada took considerable of the strength
out of wheat and prices declined dur—
ing the week ending Saturday, Sep-
tember 17th. Northwestern wheat
is moving freely and stocks are ac-
cumulating.
CORN
The nice rains and sunshiny days
we have had during the last couple
of weeks have certainly affected the
corn market. Prices declined six
cents during two hot days. Whether
we will have enough of this weather
to save much of the crop remains to
be seen.

not have near as many beans as last
year.

POTATOES
Reports indicate Michigan’s potato
crop will be around 24,217,000 bush—
els this year, or about 5,000,000
bushels less than a year ago. Early
potatoes were of poor quality in most
sections but rain may help the late
crop if we get enough and it doesn’t
come too late. Recent rains have
benefited the crop.
HAY
Dry weather causing most pas—
tures to dry up has given the hay
market a steady tone with an active
demand for best grades. Other
grades are hard to move.

“TOOL

The Boston wool market has been
fairly active but spotty, principally
on the finer grades of territory wools
and medium fleeces. The trade ap-
pears to be fairly optimistic regard—
ing the outlook for most grades.

CHICAGOr—Tllere was the usual limit-

the only feature. Hogs were lower from
the start, with some bids off as much as
40 cents. Quality considered, some sales
of packing hogs were off a dime and some
plainer butchers were down 15 @250. Best
sales placed at $11.50. Butcher hogs still
were quotable to $11.90. The run was
only 2,000 with 8,000 hold-overs, but at
that 6,000 remain unSold at the close.
LCattle trade was steady on a light supply
of 300. For the week best native steers
went to $15.75, the highest in two years.
Plainer kinds closed steady to 250 lower.
Wyoming steers reached $12.25 with the
western run so far only 39,000 compared
with 65,000 a. year ago. Native cows
closed steady and calves were up more
than $1, with small lots at $17. Sheep
trade was of little account as only 2,000
arrived. The market nominally was steady.
For the week fat lambs closed 25 @500
higher, natives showing most gain. Best
Westerns placed at $14 at the close.

are of the opinion that the first half

Temperatures will begin rising
early in the week and will reach a
maximum close to the middle of the
week. This condition will be the
result of a disturbance that will
bring wind and light showers over
many counties during middle part of
week, ~
Stormy and threatening conditions
will last over most of Thursday but
following this . and‘ continuing for
the balance of the week the weather
will be generally fair.

BAN IS PLACED ON LONG
CORN STUBBLE
ARMERS in the corn borer area
are cautioned against the usual
practice of sowing small grains
in disked corn stubble this fall unless
the stubble is not over two inches in
height or has been pulverized, says a
statement issued by Herbert E. Pow-
ell, State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture. —

Fast stubble, not over two inches
in height, in otherwise clean fields
will be exempted from the cleanup,
according to the new control regula-
tions which are being drawn .up, he
explained.

‘The planting of small grains in
corn stubble over two inches in
height provides an excellent harbor
for the corn borer, Commissioner
