Can I I. disc wheat or rye in my corn stub— ble this fall? What are the government corn borer regula- tions? TheSe are questions on the minds of all farmers in south- ern and eastern Michigan these days; questions m ost pertinent to the future Welfare of Mich- igan agriculture. Let us ansvver the last one first and then go back a bit tor some of the whys and i _. “an”... - -.._ ”J t. 6. nether ~ whereiors. r‘ors copy of the state regulations governing operations which are nec- essary} for the control of the corn borer in Michigan write to Mr. A. C. Carton, 'Dire'ctfor, Bureau of Agricul- tural Industry, New State Building, Lansing, Michigan. Mr. Carton will send you a. leaflet outlining and ex- plaining what must be done in this state in seeking "to control the borer; and a map in this leaflet will tell you whether or not your farm is within the area where corn borers {have been found and government regulations applied. 1 Now, to go back and review the status of the corn borer, what he has been doing, and why this unprece- dented anxiety over an insect pest. The European Corn Borer was first found in this country about ten years ago.‘ People who claim to have known this ‘borer here for years are mistaken, and have confused this worm with some other, perhaps closely related but much less danger- ous pest. Some of the cousins of this European invader resemble him so much that they can be distin- guished only by highly trained and experienced insect experts. None of them have, proven anywhere near so destructive as the European corn borer, however, and the problem with this pest is a new one and a very serious one. Nears the Corn Belt Year by year this new pest has spread out from New England, from New York and from Canada until his invasion borders on the very heart ofthe corn belt. His outposts are already 0n the head waters of the Mississippi.and it seems certain that he will become established wherever corn is grown. Left alone borer possesses the European corn almost unlimited 'powers of destructiveness. A peculiar brand of ignorant politicians in some of our neighboring states do not agree to this, and some of them are . Essex counties, Ontario. urging farmers to fight cleanup measures, branding the corn borer menace as a huge hoax. Such men are the corn b’orer’s best allies. I wonder what kind of a reception they would receive over in Kent and These two counties four or five years ago grew 2&6500'0' acres of corn. Many ofthe ‘ ' fatness Were former Ohioans, Hoo- sim from Indiana, or corn growers " ,trm Illinois.

Do To Control the Corn Borer? ”“1 -' This Question‘d’nd Seoeral Others Regarding This Pest Are Discussed and Answered By H. C. RATHER Extension L’eader, Corn Borer Work, M. S. C. 5 Don’t tell the residentsvof Kent or Essex count- ies that the corn borer isn’t danger- ous, and den’t take my word for it if you have any doubts, A day’s ride from any place in the Michigan corn borer area will take you into Ontario a few miles from Detroit, and there is all the evidence anyone' needs to prove what the corn borer, uncon- trolled, can do. There is no apparent reason in the world why the corn borer cannot do the same thing in Michigan, or in the whole United States that he has already done in Ontario. Here the ‘stakes are much larger; a $50,000,- 000 crop in Michigan; a $2,000,000,- 000 crop in the United States. The borer already has a strong foot—hold in five states outside of New England. 'So far, there has been but little commercial loss in Michi- gan. Last year some sweet corn fields in Monroe county were a total commercial loss, but real damage was not wide spread. If Michigan farmers continue to cleanup in the fine Way they did last spring, or even better, there need be no great com- mercial losses. The borer will con- tinue to advance slowly, corn grow— ing will be a little more expensive, adjustments in methods and acreage the European Corn Borer. HALT THE INVADING ARMY Results of our clean-up work of last spring show that farmers of Michi— gan have a right to feel that they did their share in the fight to eradicate But in spite of their efforts the westward move— ment continues, although considerably slower than in previous years. ——-Courtesy International Harvester Co. Eight Counties in Gaylord Show EPARATIONS are well under , way for holding the fifth annual Top 0’ Michigan Potato and Ap- ple ‘Show at Gaylord on November 2, 3, and 4. This show has grown from one of few entries back in 1922 until last year there were over 350 entries in all departments. This year a super- intendent has been appointed for each department to facilitate the handling of entries and exhibits. Mr. A. C. Lyle, secretary of the show, is very optimistic over the at- titude of several of the large apple growers of northern Michigan. They have promised to make liberal en— tries. “While we are interested pri— marily in potatoes in northern Mich- igan we also realize that several of the counties in the Top 0’ Michigan Association produce high quality ap— ples,” remarked Mr. Lytle. Increased premiums in apples should be added incentive for all apple growers to make entries thisyear.‘ In potato exhibits this show is the best. in the_State. The competition is very keen at the TM!

The ten year average for potatoes in the State is only 103 bushels. The ten year average for the Top 0’ Michigan counties is only 108. The average for the State last year was 120 bushels while the Top 0’ Mich- igan average was 145 bushels per acre. Growers and others interested in the show believe that much of this benefit has been derived by competi- tion in the show room. - This year Charlevoix county has entered the Association. The Top 0’ Michigan Potato Show Association now comprises the eight counties of Emmet, Cheboygan, Presque Isle,- Charlevoix, Antrim, Otsego, Mont- morency, and Alpena. Other contributing agencies are the State Department of Agriculture, the Michigan State College, and the Michigan Central Railroad. The premium list this year will ex- ceed the $1,300 ofiered last year. The officers of thevs‘h'ow are: Pres— ident, R. C. Bennett of Alba; Vice President, Irvin Cole of Alone“; and secretary, A. C. Lyflc of Gay- in the show will be made, but corn will still be successfully and profitably grown as one of our most important crops. Low Cutting New methods are rapidly being dear veloped which make the control of the corn borer easier. One of the more promising of these is the low- cutting attachment to the ordinary corn binder. This attachment costs . but little and, under good conditions leaves less than two inches of stub- ble. One binder working in northern Ohio left a stubble which averaged seven-tenths of an inch in length and only two per cent of the stubbles were over two inches. The low-cutter is an effective aid to corn borer control, because the stalk is cut off below the place where the borer is likely to be hiding. If a. clean job of cutting is done which leaves less than a two-inch stubble, and if the stalks which contain the borer are finely ground, finely shred- ded, or properly ensiled that job of killing borers is done for the season. Ensiling the corn does not give the borers which are in the ensiled stalks a chance. They are either cut to pieces beforehand or killed by for mentation afterwards. Proper shred- ding or grinding, so the stalks are finely cut, is about ninety—eight or ninety—nine per cent effective, accord« - ing to goverment entomologists. Urge Plowing The low—cutter ‘will likely prove the best weapon for the farmer who wants to disc small grain into corn stubble without plowing. Discing the grain in undestroyed stubble which has not been cut low is bad, and does not give any measure of borer control. Unless a low—cutter or stubble heater is used, Michigan __ farmers should plow for all small grains. Fall plowing for cats and. ' barley is more desirable than spring plowing, both from the stand- point of borer control and the efiect on the small grains. Fall plowing more’than pays for itself in the in- creased yield of the grain. Spring plowing also usually gives a slight. increase in yield over merely discing the land, so corn borer control meas- ures are really in keeping with the . best farmingpractices. ‘7 - Certain heavy sticky soils do not plow very well, especially in wet weather. If a low-cutter or a stub- ble beater has not been used, raking and burning may be resorted to. This works fairly well with hogged off stalks or standing corn when the stalks are poled off or broken off with a T-rail, then raked and burned.‘ (Continued on page 20) :7 3 to 4 Bushels perAcre —are overlooked by huskers according to various authorities who have kept accurate records over a period of time. Bernard Vogen, Rushford, Minn., writes us that “the aver- age man gathering standing corn will leave several bushels per acre in the field. It costs from 4 to 6 cents per bushel to gather and store a crop of corn. Hogs will gather it for nothing and make it into pork.” How much does it cost you NOT to have hog-tight fence? Evsen only 3 bushels wasted per acre on 40 acres at 80 cents is 96.00. RED BRAND FENCE “Galvannealed”—Copper Bearing will make enough extra grain and live stock profits to pay for itself in 1 to3 years by making possible hogging-down, rotating crops, pasturing after harvest, etc.. and the profits will pile up for many, many years. C. W. Lynn, Norman, Neb., writes: “My hogs paid me $1.26 per bushel for my corn in a 20-acre field. Hog-tight fence saved me the labor of husking, shelling and hauling (all big items) to say nothing of the higher grade of market hogs and the premium on my corn crop.” Gotlieb Detke, Appleton, Minn., hauls no manure, his farm produces twice as much as it used to and is worth double what it was before he fenced stock-tight. A. E. Longenecker, Leonida, Mich., says 20 sheep and one sow will pay the taxes on a ZOO-acre farm and build 100 rods of fence each year. We have thousands of other comments from successful farmers telling about the extra profits that are the result of hog-tight fence. Fence and cross fence this year for greater gains. Ask the Square Deal.dealer to show you RED BRAND FENCE. An extra heavy coating of zinc “Galvan- nealed” on the outside keeps rust out. Rust-resisting copper mixed in the steel keeps long life in. These things make RED BRAND last years longer. One piece stay wires, well crimped line wires and can’t- slip knots keep it trim, hog-tight, bull- Egof. Fence and cross fence this year With D BRAND for bigger profits. What has been your experience with or without good fence? We will pay $5.00 or more for each letter that we use. Write for details, catalog and 3interest1ng book- lets that tell how others have made more money with hog-tight fence. KEYSTONE STEEL & WIRE COMPANY 4824 Industrial Street. Peorln.

One boy says, “Let him have it! Who wants a worm anyhow?” If you could have attended the International Corn Borer tour from Toledo to Detroit on September 21st, then across the river ‘into Canada on the 22nd for a day, and back to Detroit for a con— ference en the 23rd you would have been ready to agree with the col— ored boy. About 150 entomologists, agrono~ mists and others interested in the European corn borer eradication work started out on the morning of September 22nd, from Toledo, to visit some of the infested area of Ohio and Michigan and also see what is being done at the government ex- periment stations near Monrbe and Toledo. That night was spent in De— troit and early the next morning they were joined by more Americans and many Canadians in a tour of Kent and Essex counties, Ontario, Canada. The road we took from Windsor to Chat-ham was familiar yet it was not. It was the same road we had trav- ‘ t-AreEiiouraging HERE is a ,v'ery‘popular. phono- out during the conference. L‘Even i though we did fight them the borers increased 61.84 percentthis year in the states of Michigan, Ohio, New York and ‘Pennsylvania. In our own State, where the hardest fight was put on, the increase was 232.9 per cent, which is the highest of any of the four states named. The'next one was Pennsylvania with 168.8 per cent, folloWed by New York with. 54 per cent and Ohio with 25.5 per cent. These figures without further in- formation are discouraging and mis- leading because they lead one to think the harder we fight the worse we are off, but that is not true. ' it is agreed that the corn borer came to Michigan from Canada, the moth flying across and the borer floating across the river and lake on and in pieces of corn stalk. Our most heavy infestation is along the south— eastern shore line of Michigan where it is but a short distance to our Can- adian neighbor. St. Clair county which is just across the river from Canada is the most heavily infested county in the United States, having an average of 113.44 borers to every hundred stalks. Last year this aver- BIG OAT CROP ON THE CLEMENT FARM Most folks think of Paul C. Clements, of Britten, as a. seed corn grower, but that is not the limit of his activities. Here is a picture of a field of 14 acres of Worthy oats grown on his farm this year that produced 1.368 bushels and they weighed 37 pounds to the bushel. Mr. Clements is shown at the left. eled on previous trips, but where were the cornfields? Three years ago this fall we saw lots of corn, never being out of sight of a cornfield, but this year they were miles apart. About one tenth the acreage there was three years ago, We were told, and in its place are found tobacco, tomatoes. sugar beets, grapes and barley. . Our return trip took us through territory Where fields of corn Were more plentiful, and from the road, there appeared to be little if any damage, but close inspection re- vealed a heavy infestation. Not only were many of the stalks merely hol—, low shells because of the work of the pests but the majority of the ears contained borers. A fairly strong wind would lay any of the fields flat to the ground. Reports of the various committees came in for attention on the last day, Friday, and recommendations on the continuing of the work were read and approved. Also leading officials in the eradication work in both the United States and Canada gave short talks. Borers Increase There is no question about there being an increase in the borer popu— lation this year as compared with last year, according to figures as of September 19th, which were given age was only 51.84 borers. The closeness of Canada and the fact that they conducted an eradiaction cam- paign and there was less corn in that country this year for the borer to work in are credited with the in— crease. The same reason for the increase in population of the borers in St. Clair county can be applied to all of the area under quarantine in Michi- gan. Comparison An increase of 232.9 per cent dur- ing 1927 looks rather discouraging after our intensive fight of last spring, but when you compare this with an increase of 612 per cent last, year, when nothing special was done to combat the pest it certainly shows that our time and money are not being spent in vain. .Last year Ohio had an increase of 184.2 per cent cempared with only 25.5 per cent this year, New York broke about even with 54 per cent this year and 56.3 last year, while Penn- sylvania shows an increase of from 147.7 to 168.8 per cent. For the four states this averages 380.1 per cent increase for 1926 and 61.84 per cent for 1927. Of course these fig- ures for 1927 are of September 19 and it is thought that the final count will show a lower figure, but they (Continued on page 20) r_* i Show the other members .

A better whitewash, for high- grade work, is made as follows: Carefully .slake half a bushel (38 lbs.) of good quicklime; strain the paste, while still thick, through wire fly screen, add about 4 gallons of Water, and allow to cool. (b) Dis— :solve 3 lbs. of borax (better trisodi— ‘um phosphate) in about 3 gallons of skimmed milk (better in 1 gallon of water, which is afterwards added to 5 lbs. of casein previously softened :for 2 hours in 2 gallons of hot wa— er).

When the lime paste (a) and the 'milk (or casein solution) (1).) are thoroughly cool, slowly add the milk (or casein solution) (11) to the line (a) stirring constantly. Just hetero using, slowly add the formaldehyde solution (c) to the batch, stirring constantly and vigorously. Adding the, formaldehyde too rapidly may cause the casein to Jelly, thus spoil— ing the mixture. CAUTION—If all of this mixture cannot be used in one day use only half, or a third, or other fractional part of each of the three parts (a, b and c), and mix the rest as required. In all of these directions, one sack (50) of hydrated lime can be added directly to the salt solution; in Nos. 2 and 3 it should first be made into a paste by mixing it thoroughly with about 7 gallbns of water.-—-F.

Maybe he has been raiSed en a farm, and if he has, he wants them now, so he will have some. He says rabbits do not do any ‘harm,,but I can prove to him or any- ,one else that they do. 'In the last two years the rabbits havedestro‘yed abOut two hundred and fifty dollars worth of apple trees and peach trees for me. That was just the cost of ‘ the tree‘s alone, not saying anything about the use of my land, the labor I used setting them out, and cultivate ing. If I figured everything, it would amount to about five hundred dole lars. I sent for the game warden of Berrien county and he came to look over my trees, and he Said he would get me a permit to use a ferret and it wasn’t long before I got one from the State of Michigan to catch rabbits anytime that they do damage. I did not have a dog at the time, so I got one. The rabbits got so bad that I could not raise lettuce, beans or carrots. Since ,I haVe thisAire- dale dog, I can raise trees and gar- den truck just as all farmers do who have dogs. We are not bothered with chicken thieves. If that “L. F.”. is a good tarmsr and calls dogs pests, I consider him not simmer at am, far I have tried it both ways, with and Without a flog, and you will find the most up thdate farmer has dogs. If you understand that in the spring at the year, we farmers can not get along without our dogs. The farmer is the man to whom the citizen leoks for his daily grub, and if we cannot protect it with a dog, We certainly can’t be sitting down and watching it. What if the rabbit did not do any. damage? Doesn’t a farmer pro- duce more in a year than a. few rab- bits 3. dog would catch? He also keeps the rats down, woodchucks, weae'lels, and does a dozen other good deeds. We farmers must sacrifice for the sportsman, so he can go out hunting in the open season, shoot our game, out our fences, or anything else. I say onerthing; a dog is the best friend a man can have. Any man that calls a dog a pest, has never seen a good dog. If he had my dog for one week he would change his mind. If “L. F.” wants what rabbits I have left he can come and get them, and I will give him 250 a piece to get. rid of them, before winter starts in, for by spring more trees will be destroyed.~—B. A.

The inspectors were there when he Was not at home, and he has looked and looked but has not found any himself. It looks to me as if these inspectors in order ,to hold their job down have made these re- ports. I hare been to Lansing this summer and to Kalamazoo most every week and both places have to go by a quarantine line, and those men just get up out of their chairs and ask if you have any green corn. All yen have to do is say “No.” And the say, "All right, drive on.” I’ve nei'er had one look into my car yet. For .my part I don’t think this is any way to control corn borer, and from reports I’m not the only one of ‘the same opinion.

(Continued from September 24 issue) “ HEN do I get breakfast?” he ask- W ed plaintively, of the world at large. Someone grabbed him by the collar and whirled him around. “Where did you come from?” demanded a dry voice. Duncan saw a. big, lean fellow, with a. thin hard face, a black line of moustache across the bronze of his skin, eyes that were hard and bright as a weasel’s. “Somebody told me to.” Duncan looked like a very bewildered small boy. “He hit me on the ear and said, ‘Get out of this,’ so I crawled up on a horse and came along. When can I go back, mister?” The outlaw laughed. “A volunteer chore boy, eh?” he commented. “Well, that‘s not so bad.” _ There were five other men around the fire. Beyond them, covered by a coat, \vasmnotller figure. Duncan looked away quickly. “More trouble," growled one of the by— standers, a fellow with a big nose that slanted the wrong way. “We'll have folks looking for this kid, too, now.” The leader whirled like a flash. can hardly saw his arm move, so fast was the blow. The man with the crooked nose went over backwards. When two men lifted him up, there was blood all over his face and his left arm hung limp. “There is only one captain here,” an- nounced the big man slowly. “Another time I’ll use my knife instead of my fist." “Yes, sir, captain,” muttered the hurt man. “Didn’t mean nothing.” Someone helped him to tie up his arm. Blood from his nose continued to drip Over his dirty coat. “My, but you’re strong,” said Duncan, open-mouthed. “You hit him in the nose and broke his arm.” The injured man explained hastily that he had hit a piece of wood as he fell and sprained his elbow. The captain looked at Duncan with more appreciation. “You aren‘t such a fool, after all,” he commented. “Now, I suppose that your father will miss you pretty badly, won’t he?" Duncan explained, truthfully, that he had no father and no relatives in the train. He was an orphan, taken along as an act of charity. “Good!” The captain nodded his head. “And the girl’s parents; they will be Worried, of course?” “They are stranger,” Duncan explain— ed. “Nobody with her except her father, and he—" ’ The thin lips under the black moustache parted in' a smile. It seemed that Dun— can had brought good news. The kidnap- ping, no doubt, had been an impulse of the moment. and the men had been alarm- ed about retaliation. The boy's statement \\ E53; Warner and he WI 9 If you are a paid-up cubsorlbor.) Dun- , Pennsylvania, ,. going on Traveling by Duncan follows at a distance made everything safe. In the relief of the moment, the captain patted the boy on the back. “Of course there's something to eat for you,” he declared. “And you had better stay with us for a while. Gentlemen of fortune are better company than a. bunch of Dutchmen.” Duncan thanked him submissively and got out of his sight at once. Some chunks of meat were simmering over the fire on ends of green sticks. The boy slipped over toward these. One was ,near slipping into the fire. He recued it, 'browned it nicely in the flame and tend~ ered it politely to the nominal cook, who was busy looking thru the contents of one of the sacks piled by the fire. " “Give it to Captain Locke,” ordered the fellow in a surly tone, and the boy did as he was told. Locke was standing by the trail and issuing orders to the men who rode up to snatch a bite to eat, have a word with him and ride off again. He took the meat without comment and bit huge mouthfuls out of it, chewing as he talked. There were thin cakes of moistened corn meal baking on a flat stone before the fire. Duncan took charge of these and parceled out food to the men who came and went. No one paid any atten- tion to him, save that once in a while someone growled an inquiry to the cook, who, pleased by the work that Duncan was doing, declared that he was the new cook's helper, and badly needed, too, when a bunch of lazy scamps put all the work on one man. The pack animals had long since been moved on with the bulk of the men, leaving only the captain and a small group, when the moment came that Dun- can had been longing for and dreading. Locke walked over to the bundle 'on the ground and put a. hand on it. “This won‘t do," he said, not unkindly. “You need food in you. Here, sit up and try a bite.” A head was shaken under the cover- ing. The captain frowned; he began to expostulatc. “There is a long ride ahead,” he warned the girl, “better get ready for it.” He explained that it was foolish for her to take on so. Now if she had fallen into some hands—~—but he was a. gentleman and knew how to treat a woman. Kind- ness was his way; in a few days she would think better of him. Now about breakfast “No, no !” came a stifled voice. “I can‘t eat. Go away.” Duncan took pains to look away. He heard the captain come striding over to him. Duncan turned over the flap cakes. He felt the man’s gaze on him. “See if you can get that girl to eat something,” he ordered. “We start in ten minutes.” (Continued in our October 22nd issue) Opening the Books A soil-segrmmermo -BY , . \m t (If there In an quutlom regardlnq rollslout matter: you woul n be leased to urve you wlthout charge. like answered write to Rev.

E. DE’WAR SUMMARY or STORY McAFEE, an orphan, from Bethelehem, seventeen, is going to North Carolina to live with his uncle. wagon train, encountering all sorts of dangers, he has it real thrilling trip, and proves that “seventeen is grown up” by saving a fair young lady from bandits who attack the train, killing most of the people and carrying her 011‘ The Journey from Bethelehem to Frederickstown was unevent- ful but a little beyond the latter place they are joined by the Sawyers, a. girl \Vhile camped one night a. bedraggled stranger comes into camp, begs a meal and tells of being attacked by Indians. After that Duncan mounts guard but one night he falls asleep only to be awak- ened by the noise of attacking raiders who shoot some of the men, take. their money, horses and other belongings of value, and make their escape, carrying the Sawyer girl away with them as a prisoner. I ' 1' Christ brought these laws from heav— .\;t metaphor something .deep and. strik- wing. Yet nbt‘having the experience 'of that last solemn transaction, he cannot fully understand. But in that ‘ last day. and at the entrance of a new and ageless epoch, we are called be— fore the Supreme Court of God. The books will be opened. My book? Of course. Do you not know that every day yOu write a pagebf a permanent record? The High Court has tran- scribed this and a copy of'it is await- ing you. It shall be read in your hearing. 4 It will indict you or acquit you. The court is supreme. The de- cision is final; Serious enough, isn’t it? . My mail just came. A young Wife asks for advice. She relates some of the wrongs of her husband and then says, “There is a God in heaven to make him pay dear for it all some day.” “Pay dear,” “Some day,” You too have used such phrazes. Why? Because every human intui— tively knows that there is something at the bottom of much of life that is sinful and that “some day” will be penetrated, exposed and condemned. Eternity is filming our life for a final and judicial showing. We shall be “judged out of the things written in the books.” “For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may re— ceive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” Of course, this recorded conviction of the apostle is caught from Christ, who said relative to final things, “Marvel not at this, for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voicee, and shall come forth; they that have! done good unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.” It is clear that the Court of Eternity has issued a writ for our appearance. Even Death has no power to exempt. We cannot escape this Divine sub— poena. And it is also clear that the purpose is to stand trial for the way ,We have lived. But really the testi— mony is all in. The verdict is pre- pared. We are simply brought into Court to hear it.. We 'are there to hear the Judge say “Guilty” or “Not guilty.” The book that we ‘ourselves have written, forms the basis of the decision. But wait a minute! Right now God is judging us according to the way in which we write our lives down in the unfinished record. Do you care? Well, Mr. Average Man says lightly that he will run his chances. The words that I am now writing With a lead‘ pencil will be manifolded by a typewriter. The manuscript is mailed for publication. The writer keeps a copy. You and I are manifolding our lives daily on the parchment of Eternity. Hidden agencies file a duplicate Yonder to be opened some day for our well- doing or undoing. The aim of this revelation is to solemnly charge us with the eternal and judicial nature of life. Nothing that we do dies, but what we do shall meet us Over There. “Look therefore carefully how you walk.” “Another book is opened, which is the book of life.” This is the law— book of Eternity and contains the principles by which all mortals shall be judged. The standards of living set forth are eternally right. It has pleased God to reveal the Book of Life in the holy scriptures. But He shall also reveal to the individual his own book. This volume furnishes the facts of.life; the facts of daily thoughts and deeds. It bears evi- dence of our works. The Great Judge takes the evidence and renders a ver— dict according t9 the Book of Stat- ues. Now where is our excuse? ‘en for” men. “If I had not come and spoken unto them,” said He, “they had not sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.” And according 7 to Paul, God’s Redemptive Plan ex— cuses no man, though he cannot read, or does not even know of the Bible. The counsels of God are to be “clear— ly seen” in “the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world.” The person who has no access to the Gospel is not without obligation—— nor hope. “The Lord * * * is leng- suffering, not willing’that any should perish.” So we have the revelation nce of the person —.

"The Farm Paper of Service” REPORT THE VIOLATOR EPTEMBER 5th was the date on which the law making it necessary for a buyer of poul- try to keep a record of his purchases went into effect and since that date persons, firms, and corporations engaged in the business of pur- chasing poultry for resale are supposed to have a record of each purchase they have made. We have had reports from some of our readers advis~ ing that they found dealers in their community not observing the law. Our recent legislature enacted this law in an effort to help curb the activities of chicken thieves The law is not perfect by any means, but if given a chance will do much good, and it is up to the farmers of this'State to see that it gets this chance. When you sell poultry and the buyer—if he is purchasing them for re- sale—fails to make a complete record ask him about it. If he is not fully informed but appears anxious to comply with the new law advise him to - write the Secretary of State at Lansing at once " ‘next July. and he will receive a supply of blanks. But if he is indifferent to the law and signifies no in- tentions of living up to it report him to the of- ficers. Advise your local sheriff, and if he fails to act get in touch with the Secretary of State or with us. A man who violates the law can be fined any amount up to $100 or imprisoned in' the county jail for a period of not exceeding 90 days. If he violates the law he is a. valuable aid to the . chicken thieves and he should receive just punish- ment. You owe it to your neighborhood and to yourself to see that he gets it. TAKE A SHORT COURSE HE season for short courses at ‘ Michigan State College is again but a short distance in the future. In fact, the first two begin October 24th, which is only a little over two weeks off. Others start in January and following months to run up to as late as the middle ’of Most of them begin and end, however, during the first three months of the year. Any- one interested in the general agricultural course, either the first or second year, should take up one of the courses that open October 24th and continue through sixteen weeks. Or if interested in a certain subject one can take up any of the special courses devoted to dairy, poultry, farm mechanics, horticulture, floriculture or bees after the first of the year. A short course for the farm women has been added this year and it is expected to prove very popular. It is called the home economics course, starting January 3rd and ending March 2nd. One can enter any of the courses without examination or entrance requirement if they are sixteen years of age or over. Therelis no other requirement.

SEVEN REWARDS PAID ‘ T was September 25th, slightly over a year ago,- that we announced through the columns of THE BUSINESS.,FABMEB that we were posting $1,000 to be paid out in rewards of fifty dollars each to persons supplying information that led to the arrest and conviction of any person or per- sons guilty of stealing poultry from a paid-up subscriber to this publication. How long it would be before we paid out the entire thousand we did not know. Thieves were very active and it might be only a few months or possibly it would be longer before we paid out the last of the twenty rewards. Twelve months have‘ passed and we find that $350 has been paid in seven rewards to eight people, there being one-[case‘where two peo- ple have divided the fifty dollars. The following persons have received rewards of $50: Frank Watkins, Holly; Walter Arnold and John W. Copp, Oakland county deputy sheriffs; Amos- Jury, Ashley; Wayne DeBree, Greenville; Alton Hall, Charlotte; Alex McDonald, Houghton Lake: A. R. Geddes, detective with sheriff’s office, Sagi- naw county. In addition to this we took up the fight for L. J. Wilson, Montcalm county farmer who shot a. chicken thief, arousing State-wide interest in his case. Pe‘titions were circulated in his behalf and over a hundred thousand names were secured. Also we raised a. fund to take care of his ex- penses and after paying his attorneys $400 we still have $456.70 on deposit in the L. J. Wilson Fund in the bank where it will remain until needed to defend any farmer who is brought to trial on a similar offense or any case which in our opinion deserves the support of M. B. ‘F. How many thieves we have been instrumental in putting behind the bars we do not know, but we can safely say fifty without fear of Contradic- tion. That is not such a large number, but when we take into consideration many others who discontinued their activities along this line be- cause of our campaign we feel that much has been accomplished. . Now we are entering our second year with $650 of the original $1,000 left to carry, on the fight, also we have $500 which we have posted to catch thieves who take farm produce, machinery or other livestock. What the year holds for us or how much we will pay out we do not ‘know, but our fight is just getting under way and we sincerely expect to harvest a. bumper crop of thieves this year. Before we get through we want to make Michi- gan about as popular with thieves who prey on the rural communities as the corn' borer is with the farmer. MICHIGAN DID WELL NE very interesting thing that was brought out during the recent International Corn Borer Conference held in Detroit was the difference between the spread at the borer in Michigan and Ohio. Michigan worked hard to eradicate the pest, doing more and better work than any other state interested in the campaign, while in Ohio quite a' large number of exemptions were granted. Now we are learning the results. The corn borer has spread into many new coun- ties in Ohio while here in Michigan we have held him fairly close to the old quarantine line. Let us hope that this proves a lesson to those in charge in Ohio and in the future they work shoulder to shoulder with the other states in our fight to save the corn crop. WATCH THAT BULLl ROM the Nashville News, Nashville, Mlch., We learn of a farmer and one son who narrowly escaped death when attacked” by an angry bull. The father and two sons were trying to drive the bull into the barn when it turned and started for one of the boys. Fearing for the boy's life the father attempted to stop the bull but was thrown to ,the ground. The ball then continued after the boy who reached a place of safety none "too soon. It was a matter of two hours before they finally got. the bull into the barn. . "The ball he'd never shown any signs of on states the piper. "gentle? bull that come near taking II human life. Another ~ EM bl»: fish left me in the lurch for most a. week. I caught some perch and now and then a little pike to show me what a fish was like, but them big» fishes wouldn’t pay no ’tension to my hook all day. Then one day. out there by the bar. the place where all the Whopper-s are, I got a teller on my hook so big, by gum, he al- ,most took me head first out into the lake. It made my arms and muscles echo aholdln’ on to that there whale, he’d flip his fins and flick his tail and, golly, how the reel would sing, if I could swim like that, by jinx, I’d swini the Eng- lish channel and not care how for it was to land. I fought that fish till almost noon, he’d gobbled up my biggest spoon and though he tried to get it loose he found out that it wa’n’t no. use. At last I got him tuckcred out and got my got! into his snout, then when I got him on the shore I sat and laughed till I was sore to think how I would brag back hum about that fish I caught, by gum. Thorn catfish back in our crick would curl up and look pretty sick if they could see this fish I caught, they'd die of envy, like ‘35 not. I don’t care what may happen now, the foot-ond-mouth can get my cow, the cholera. can git my swine or lightning strike that born of mine. I've caught a young whole, and by too, life don’t hold no more thrills tor me! \ ' . rerun PLOW’S Pulmonary . A Short Course sure helps a. teller in the long run. An’ the M.

Near as I can figure out the big fight at Chica- go, it was the public that fast and Tex Rickard that won. Ever hear this one? A Scotchman went to a grocery store to buy some eggs and upon inquirin' 'bout the price he learned good ones were two cents each and cracked ones were one cent. “Well, crack me a dozen,” said the Scotchman. o COMING EVENTS e Oct. 12.—Dairy Show, Reed City, Mich.

ALPHA COMPANY Will you please find out if the ' glpha Company, of Paterson, N. J., alright? They want ladies to make dresses at home but want $5.00 in advance—Mrs. FE, Quincy, Mich. ” are quite familiar with the ‘Alpha Company and their work- at-home scheme. Not long ago they sent us copy for an advertise— ment that they wanted us to publish in our classified columns. This copy read, “Ladies—Earn $15 dozen sew- ing aprons; absolutely no selling, ex- perience unnecessary; materials cut. Addressed envelop brings instruc— tions. Alpha, 202 Market St., Pat- terson, New Jersey." Notice that nothing is said about the five-spot they must have before they send the prospective worker any material. No doubt they would have been very happy if they could have had this advertisement appear in M. B. F. because ' it would have looked as though we recommended them to our “folks. But we were not caught nap- ping. We would not accept this ad— vertising until we had made a very careful investigation, and after we got through investigating we would not take it at any price. . We found out that the company is operated by Jacob Sachs and Saul Gold, men who were formerly con- nected with‘the Golden Card Com- pany, of New York City, which went out of business last spring as the result of a post office and better bus— iness bureau investigation. They ad— vised the investigator that they paid from $2.00 to $5.00 per dozen for sewing aprons which hardly corre— sponds with the statement made in the ad, and the deposit was said to be $1.50 instead of $5.00. Of course all aprons must pass in— spection. and you can readily see that an inexperienced worker would have considerable difliculty in turning out work that would be satisfactory. We are still looking for the works at-home scheme we can recommend. CAB STOLEN M.

What a. joy to poke away the old brown leaves from a bed of tulips or daffo— dils and find the green leaves already poking through the cold, moist earth! How glad we are that we planed them last fall! But now it is October and are we planning for these early spring blos- soms? ‘ Tulips are the most popular bulb grown for spring bloom, and for win- ter flowering in the window they are incomparable. One of the best vari- eties for our climate is Prosperine, an extra large bright carmine rose single tulip. It is suitable either for outdoor or indoor culture. Other hardy varieties are Crysolera, a. large pure yellow flower and Wash— ington, a white. The single varieties surpass the double in brilliancy of color, but do not remain so long in bloom. Among double varieties, Ruba Maxims. will be found good. It is an early forcer of deep red color. Lucretia pink, and Couronne d’Or, golden yellow, are other double tu- lips which will delight the grower. Dutch hyacinths are very easily grown. The perfume and color fur- nished by a. bowl of these is par— ticularly welcome in the depth of winter. Among many beautiful hya- cinths Gigentea, single, blush pink, large broad spike, is very suitable for pot culture. Madam Kruger, white, and Mauve Queen, also pro- duce handsome flowers. The crocus, the daffodil, and the snowdrops are other spring beauties that may be had for a small outlay in the fall. The cost is for bulbs only; the work is a. labor of love and any boxes or pots which fit the Window sill will do for containers. For pot culture, plantings may be made at any time from September to December, though October is the best time. A light rich soil with a mix— ture of well-rotted cow or sheep manure is most suitable. Use a four or five inch pot, and have the top of the bulb just above the surface. After potting, give a good watering and set away in a cool cellar or out- house for from six to eight weeks, giving water occasionally, after which they may be brought to light in a sitting~room or other room. Bulbs in water are satisfactory, es- pecially paper white narcissus as, they grow rapidly and blossom with- in a few weeks after planting. Steady the" bulbs by placing peb- bles at their base and fill the bowl with water. Give fresh water every few days. They should be left in the dark for several weekes, until the top growth is well started and the bowl or mass of roots. Outdoor planting maybe effected at any time from the first of Octo— ber until the ground is frozen. Any good, well-drained soil, will grow bulbs, but should be well spaded and pulverized. If the soil be heavy clay, mix thoroughly with sand and well—rotted cow yard manure; fresh manure is injurious. Raise the cen— ter ‘of 'the bedsso that watervwill run off quickly, as the bulbs are li— able to rot if water stands. extremely " he be 880 Before ' “i180 straw is used, cover six inches. In the spring remove half the covering and the balance as soon as the plants begin pushing their way through the 501 . The best season for planting pe— onies is in the fall of the year. Fall planting is better than spring plant- ing, because the large buds are not disturbed on the roots, and also be— cause the plants get better estab- lished in the spring before the grow— ing season begins. An important point in connection with the 'planting of peonies is not to plant them too deeply. Non- blooming of peonies is often due to having the roots buried too deeply in the soil. For best results the roots should be placed two or three inches below the surface and not closer than two feet apart. There are many different varieties of iris and the various combinations of color in most of them are very lovely. August is perhaps the best time to plant the “toes” of iris, but they often blossom the first year when not planted until spring. The blossom of the German iris is much larger than the. Japanese iris and much more common. These are easily grown and require almost no care. There are many seeds which may be sown in the fall of the year, some of which are poppies, marigolds, bachelor—buttons, sweet allysium and cosmos. Sweet allysium is only pretty when used as a border, but all of the others are good to cut. Personal Column Know This Song?—~May I ask for the song that I know a few words of: "You can’t holler down our rain barrel; You can’t climb our apple tree; You'll be sorry when you see me sliding down our cellar door; You can’t play in our yard any more; I don’t want to play in your yard if you won’t be good to me?”—Mrs. R.

Table Service.—Ta.bie manners; Table manners are important. Parents should try to train their children, so that they will be able to meet credibly any situa—: tion which may arise. To 'the young bOY or to the young girl, a. knowledge of table manners gives self possession, charm, and a. natural pleasing manner. Conven- tial rules are not arbitrary, but it is‘im-x possible for them to be ignOred‘ or under- rated completely. With the many books published on table manners and with each very often giving a. different sug- gestio as to the proper method of pro.’ cedure under different situations, there. ‘ is ‘a.great need""for the ability to discrim- inate between the rules which are of such importance that they should be observed, and the em ruleswhich fitness 3. point 033‘ We}, . 59‘3”“ cgflhflt' adherence” t .. in ;_ ' I am 3; stern old-bachelor, mi “A. ‘smss 011i).

C (After second verse: “From alimony free.” in chorus for “From matrimony free”) I have a stove that's worth ten cents, A table worth fifteen; I cook my grub in oyster cans, And keep all things so clean. ,When I come home late I have no fear, I smile and walk right in, I never hear a voice yell out, “I say, where have you been?” On a cold and stormy winter’s night, In my cozy little shack, I sing my songs and think my thoughts, With no one to talk back. I go to bed whene’er I please, And get up.just the same; I change my socks three times a year, With no one to complain. At night when I’m in peaceful sleep, My snores can do no harm, I never have to walk the floor, With an infant on my arm. And when I die and go to heaven, Where all old bachelors do, I will not have to grieve for fear, My wife won‘t get there too.

AD‘VAIWI'AGES 0F CLUB WORK the Farm Boys and Girls of Mimganz—I am asked to give my views on’ Boys and Girls Club Work and I'm so glad to do '0 through this paper. There's no training outside of regular school that will reflect on the future life of our boys and girls more than Club Work. It is one of the oppor- tunitles that our young people havemow that Dad and Mother did not have in their do]. In ‘a livestock club be it sheep, calves, «makeup or plus the club member starts with a good specimen; they are trained to know whot makes a. We have oul‘ club bus- . good specimen; they are trained how to care for it' properly, and just what such an animal can do and then If it is to be sold they have the experienco of proper salesmanship. This is a. great education for any future tumor. Dad had to guess about quality and experiment on feeding and core and-sometimes it took many years to (at the right start to be successful, hence many men have become discouraged before they reached the point at mccooo and gave up trying. Club boys can make a good start from the very beginning. Then with the h’andycraft work the boys learn now to use tools, how to do painstaking WOPk, how to 0b- serve the need of conveniences around the house and bang and can become the real handy man of the farm. This training will serve him well in after years. With the girls the troinlng is something that will help to form. their house- hold habits of life. They will learn to be punctual, to be exact, to be economical and to be artistic. In sewing the lessous taught will be useful every day of hot life; In cooking she learns what to eat and how much to eat and how to prepare food properly. Those dependent upon her will not run the risk of experiments and useless miotakes. ‘ And best of all, the whole thought of club work rests on being ible to work together in groups, on playing the game square, on winning through oflclenoy and on being good loosers when necessary. All of these traits mean much to tho man or woman if thoy have become a. fixed habit in youth. ' _ , And I would urge every boy or girl now enrolled as club members to look about your and see if there is not some other boy “win your neighborhood who should be with yea I! so, show them the adv-m of this» from bud. tell them of the splendid meetings you have and-beeptkom wispy“, if you us.

Look at the figures of the Bedford County (Penna) Cow Testing Association for the ‘Larro-fed Jersey herd of Allen Eshelman of Everett, Penna. His profit for the year was $172.66 per cow with all feed bills, including roughage, paid. The average production per cow was 8,257 lbs. milk; 429.7 lbs. fat. Mr. Eshelman’s satisfaction with Larro has been duplicated by thousands of dairymen all over the country during the 15 years in which this wonderful, profit- producing dairy feed has been on the market. In all this time Larro has always meant more milk, healthier cows, greater profits. Developed and constantly tested at Larro Re- search Farm. You can’t afford to waste time and money on home mixtures or cheap rations when Larro will give you profits like those. And it will! Feed it according to directions and you will be delighted with the increased milk flow and improved condition of every cow in your herd.

Questions cheerfully answered.) \PULLING CONTESTS AND HORSE BREEDING ' NEW record has been made for Michigan. On Wednesday, Sep- tember 14, a team of horses owned by the Owosso Sugar Com- pany, Prairie Farm, at Alicia, Mich- igan, raised the state record from 3100 pounds to/a tractive pull of 3150 pounds. The team broke a rec- ord which had stood for more than a year. The team is a~pair of pure bred Belgians bred and developed by the Prairie Farm, which is undoubtedly the largest Belgian breeding plant in the world. My reason for commenting on this new record is to bring out the fact that the show ring standard of both this country and Belgium is not al- together wrong. One horse in this team is a full brother to Pervenche owned by Mich— igan State College. It will be re- membered that Pervenche was Jun- ior and Grand Champion at Ohio State, Michigan State Fairs and at the International as a two-year-old in 1923 and repeated this record as a Senior and Grand Champion the fol— lowing season. Since that season she has been a winner in the mare and foal, and “Produce of Mare” classes with her offspring from Range Line Phoenix. The gelding in this team of record breakers suffered the loss of an eye while young and was made a work horse on Prairie Farm. On Sept- ember 15 it was demonstrated that he had not reached his limit and the team was given an opportunity to go again against their own record of the previous day. They failed according to H. J. Gallagher, Michigan State College, in charge of the dynamometer, to de- velop additional power due appar— ently to the inability of the other horse of the team to hold his end of the evener. Then another point I want to em- phasize is that this good gelding has the conformation and the dis- position to go farther. ,The sire of this animal and also of Pervenche is Rubis 8004, a prize winner at the Brussels Show just before he was im- ported to this country. He is now sixteen years of age and is still car- rying on at Prairie Farm as a sire of show ring winners. The first and second prize fillies at the Ohio State Fair of 1926 and 1927 are daughters of Rubis and are owned and being shown by Michigan State College. It will be recalled that one of these mares, Manitta de Rubis, was Junior and Grand Champion as a two and three year old at both Ohio State and Michigan State both of these years and that she was the Junior Cham- pion at Chicago in 1926. Pervenche and the two fillies just referred to won for Rubis the “Get the Sire" group and the “Best Three Mare" group at Ohio State, Michigan State in 1926 and have repeated the record at both again this season. The mother of the winning geld- ing and of Pervenche is a big chest- n'ut mare named Quenea. At the service of Rubis she produced a filly in 1925. This filly looks like a real one. She has not been shown ex- tensively thus far but has'started away as a first prize winner at Mich- igan State Fair and Saginaw County Fair this year. Down in the pastures on Prairie Farm this season are as fine a lot of foals by Rubis as can be found anywhere. 01d Quenea. is there and , CHAMPION: ounnNsnv ‘_ ' l- l: , ’ umbred" Guernsey' from. the .1 Been: ‘ehefd of J.

It is of real service to us, especial-‘I_' ' THE CORN BORER?” (Continued from Page 3) The practice of hogging off corn or husking the grain from the stand- ing stalks must' come in for new study. It allowed to stand, these stalks furnish ideal wintering quar- ters for the borer. If an attempt is made to plow them under it too often results in a messy job requiring hours of tedious hand picking to clean the field; But a clean field is absolutely necessary if any control over the borer is to be secured. Borers which are plowed under come up again. If there is the least bit of organic refuse for them to get into they will find it and come out as full fledged moths in early summer. If the field is perfectly clean the borers will be destroyed by the elements by birds, field mice and other predators. Wide bottom plows with proper wire attachments are very effective in covering trash. Where these are not available, bogged-off corn or stalks still standing in the spring can probably best be handled by p011— wing them down, raking and burning them, and then finishing the job by clean plowing, after which practical- ly no picking should be necessary. Mic h i g a n farmers who went through the borer control campaign last spring are convinced that the fall is the time to do the cleanup work if at all (possible. A favorable fall will find farmers all over the area getting their cleanup work done by regular farm practices such as low cutting, shredding, silo filling, fall plowing, and so on. The success of the campaign last spring is becoming apparent. There are still borers and probably there always will be. The borer has gone into new areas; however, not nearly so much in Michigan where the cleanup was thorough as it did in Ohio where a. large part of the area was exempted. So far, the work of controlling the borer has been almost entirely mechanical. There is, of course, some work on parasites which may aid in the far distant fu— Research work by the Michi— gan State College at its corn borer sub—station at Monroe also holds fu,— ture promise. It ”will take many yea-rs for that to sugar ofi, but even now it is well worth seeing and farmers who wish to look it over are welcomed. In the meantime, Michigan farm- ers are not waiting and lamenting, but from the spirit I have seen evi- denced they are tackling this job that they do not like but realize 'that it must be done, and they are sock- ing the varmint with every club they can lay hands on that looks as though it will put a dent in the borer population. RESULTS OF CORN BORER FIGHT ARE ENCOURAGING (Continued from page 4) give you ample evidence of the ef— fectiveness of the cleanup and cause one to wonder just how great the increase would have been if we had done nothing. Ohio Suffers Because of wet weather last spring there was a sort of letting down of the bars in Ohio when it came to passing fields. Probably less real clean-up work was done in that state than in any of the others, which makes the wide spread between the figures for last year\and this year hard to understand.- However, re— sults of easing up of the control work becomes apparent when it is shown that the new area infested by the borer is far greater in Ohio than in Michigan, Pennsylvania or New York. Perhaps there are places where_re- sults have been disappointing but as a whole officials in charge of the corn borer eradication work are‘of plished to a large, degree what We started out to do and they are pleased with results. But we cannot be content with what we have done, we must keep up the fight with more - vigor than ever if we wish to con- tinue to profitably grow corn.

Would like to know what to do for them as I am having a lot of trouble—A. H. F., Coleman, Mich. ’ HE phenomenon which you are troubled with is most likely a vicious habit probably originat- ing from a few chicks picking at a weak member of the flock. A simple remedy consists of suspending a large number of little buttons, pre- ferably colored ones, from the roof so that they reach just high enough from the floor to make it necessary for the chicks to jump at these in order to pick at them. They will soon be so busy with this that they will forget to pick at the rest of the flock—H. J. Stafseth, M. S. C.

And if some barbarian sits above you, it is because his book showed clearer pages than yours. Shall not the Judge of all the‘earth do right? Re- sponsibility is commensurate with opportunity. Luke 12:48. But are there no palliating circum— stances? Is there nothing that shall diminish our chances of guilt? There is hope in, the Mercy Book. Bless God for Him Who “ever liveth to make'intercession” for us. When we accept the spirit of Jesus as aid to our spirit, and his life as copy for ours, the writing of our book will be accepted. The writing will not be perfect. It will have blurs and blots. But we tried to follow the copy, and a loving Father will say, “I have blotted out thy transgressions and thy sins; return unto me for I have redeemed thee.” This is heaven.

RMERS of the great middle west have been in many instances greatly in doubt of late regard-, ing the outcome of their corn crops, and the old lesson has been taught that diversity of crops is in the long run the only really safe rule to fol- low, although in some years it is passible to obtain good profits by fol- . lowing the single crop plan. Of . course corn is the main basis of the (great live stock industry, and it is 3 necessary that the corn belt states ' should produce extremely large crops ., of that leading cereal to feed cattle, hogs and sheep as well as to poultry, , and the fertility of the soil is main— . tained by the manure. But the only ' safe way is to divide the grain and \‘ other acreage, and this is the course _very largely practiced by Michigan xfarmers, outside of the great fruit l belt bordering on Lake Michigan. ( Grape production in the United ;.States has had an enormous increase { in recent years, but most of this gain , is in California. The Michigan sheep industry is in good hands and is do— ing so well that mixed yearling breed- ing and two—year—old breeding ewes have been in good demand in the , Chicago market to ship to that state ‘ at $6.50 to $14 per 100 pounds, while light weight feeding lambs were pur- chased a short time ago for $13.75 to $14. The autumn prices paid for hogs were far lower than one and . two years ago, but far above those paid in other recent years, and farm- ers who have plenty of corn are hold- ing back their healthy growing pigs. Livestock profits on fat cattle, wheth- er yearlings or long fed heavy steers, have become enormous through the late remarkable booms in prices brought about by the serious short— age in feeding districts, and this has started up a lively demand for stock- ers and feeders at much higher 'prices. Cattle feeding promises to become popular if thin lots are to be had at fair prices. In the Grain Markets It has been impossible to hold Lwheat up to the high prices paid in the early part of the season, when the I crop promise was not so good as it ‘turned out to be later. Prices fell Vwell below those paid a year ago, 7 while two years ago sales were made f around $1.53. The visible wheat 'supply in the United States is in- :.creasing at the rate of 5,,360 000 bushels a week and it stood a short time ago at 75, 226,000 bushels, being 'slightly ahead of a year ago. Not long ago the several grains were sell- ' ing at the lowest prices of the sea- ison, and it was mainly a weather , market, especially in the corn trade, with every trader intensely interested in reports of frosts in parts of the corn belt where the crop is not ma- tured enough to be out of danger. Considerable old corn is going to market, and a short time ago the visible supply in this country was 23,733,000 bushels, comparing with 17,288,000 bushels a year ago, while it sold in the Chicago market up to 97 cents, against 76 cents at this time in 1926. Corn sold much higher early in the season, but much of the _ crop is reported safe from frost dam- age. Oats have sold several cents higher than last year, much of the crop being damaged, and the visible supply in this country is down to 25,137,000 bushels, comparing with 48,803,000 bushels a year ago. Rye is scarce, but sells at about the same ,prices'as last year. An item of in- terest to wheat farmers is statistics showing that there has been a 10 per cent drop in the consumption of white flour in the last three years. Farmers who raise corn should be careful in selecting their seed corn, :: for much corn will be nearly or quite , Worthless for planting. Husking ' alone will reveal how much the crop has been damaged. However, ofilcial Wisconsin reports state that farmers I}! tbatstate need not worry about a. .fiortage of need corn .Ior next spring. The reports says the Wisconsin pro- diction will be large enough 10-151111- ply not only local needs, but also to meet calls for seed corn coming from other states. December wheat sold a short time ago down to $1.30, com- paring with $1.41 a year earlier. Fancy Prices for Cattle Fancy corn fed cattle have sold at further advances recently owing to inadequate supplies, and a new top was reached when $16. 65 was paid tthe other day, it being $4. 65 above the highest price paid for heavy cat- tle during 1926. Prime sold the highest since 1920, and the bulk of the steers of all kind sold for $11.50 to $15.50, the poorest lightweights going at $9.50 to $10.50. The best yearlings brought $16.25, and even ordinary grassy and short fed cattle sold far above recent years. Steers were selling a year ago at $7.50 to WHEAT " There is no material change in the wheat market situation. While there was some .‘edvance in prices during the past -4ortnight the market has not gained much strength. Canadian farmers are quite heavy sellers and the export demand appears to be slow for American wheat. Reports indicate that quite a large percent- age of both wheat and rye" has been damaged in England and Ger- many. CORN Corn declined but the continued wet weather we have had caused the market to turn upward again at the close of last week. Plenty of warm sunshine is needed in the corn belt right now. OATS Of all the grain markets probably oats _shows the most firmness and inclination to advance in price. It ’was affected some by the weakness MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO DAILY THE Michigan Business Farmer was first to broadcast farm market reports in Michigan (January 4, 1926). news are now available as follows: Market reports and farm WGHP (319.3 meters), 6:05 to 7:00 P. M.; WKAR (286), 12:00 M.; WWJ (352.7), 5:45 P. M.; WCX-WJR (440.9), 4:15 P. Ma—Editor. $12.10, two years ago at $7.25 to $16.25 and three years ago at $9.25 to $11.80, while back in 1908 they sold at $3.75 to $7.60. Canners and cutters go at $5 to $6, fat cows. and heifers at $8 to $14.60 and calves at $8 to $17.50. Conditions are so bright that the demand for stockers and feeders is increasing, and prices are rising, with sales are mostlyat $8.25 to $9.25, the extreme range being $7.60 to $10. For the year to late date the cattle receipts in seven western packing points were only 6,766,000 head, comparing with 8,006,000 a year ago. Last week’s advance in fat cattle was 25 to 50 cents. Moderate Hog Supply Prices remain low despite the re- cent light market supplies, with late sales in Chicago at $9.40 to $11.65, comparing with $10.50 to $13.80 a year ago, $11 to $13.70 two years ago and $6.15 to 38.65 six years ago. For the year to late date seven west- eren packing points received 17,004,- 000 hogs, comparing with 16,596,- 000 for the same time last year, 19,152,000 two years ago, and 22,- 883,000, three years ago. in other grains last week but-ap- pears to be in a strong position. RYE We produced a large crop of un- usually good quality rye this year which is rapidly passing. into consum- ing channels at prices slightly high- . er than at this time during the past few years. BEANS The bean market seems to be a weather proposition; when the sun shines there are plenty ‘of beans for sale and when it rains you can not find any. But rain or shine there should be a good market for beans because we are going to have a shortage. Early planted fields are turning out pretty good but the late ones will prove disappointing, it is believed. If farmers would agree to sell their beans at not less than $5.00 per cwt.," and stick to it, they could stabilize the market, but as long as the canners and others can manipulate prices as they see fit the market will weaken and the price dip at every opportunity no matter ‘amounted to little.

CHICAGO—It was the usual dull Sat- urday livestock trade today, with hogs showing the only activity. That market . was slow with few animals on hand. Trade was anywhere from steady to 25 cents lower, but this was more on paper than on actual quality. Choice butchers sold at $11.65 and down and packing hogs were placed at $9.50@10. The fresh supply was 3,000. Only.“ 6,000 cattle arrived so that trade was only nominal.’ For the week prices were high for nearly all kinds. Prime steers sold at $16.65 or the highest in seven years, while good yearlings brought $15.25.

R., Onaway, Mich. DO not know what should cause this unless your quack grass and June grass was causing it. If you had clover ,or alfalfa to use you could soon tell if this was it. These sheep should have some oats and corn if they are having lambs this spring; the lambs may not be strong and vigorous if they do not have grain. Get some lime and mix one pound of it to about five gallons of water and sprnkle the hay that you give these sheep. Also get some bran and oil— meal for a few days and see if this does not help your trouble. Feed each sheep about 1% pound of bran and 1,4. pound of oilmeal per day.

The big GLASS CLOTH windows saved him. $60 over sash and glass and brought him more winter eggs than he ever thought pos- sible. He says before he used GLASS CLOTH eggs were scarce on his farm “as snowballs in Africa.” Almost at once his 100 hens “started on a laying spree” and he says, “Since then I have bought all our groceries and feed for the ‘ cows and chickens and much of our clothing from the sale of eggs. I also bought my potato seed and garden fertilizer and my wife has bought many articles for the house-—all from egg money.’ A $5. 00 roll of GLASS CLOTH brought Mr. Hughes all this new prosperity. He says, “It sure okeeps the poultry house warm. One day it was 220 outside and 78° inside. I!!!" 11le!!!" I” Winter-Tight Home Brings Comfort “Glass Cloth 1s great stuff,” writes J. Austin. Last fall I made storm windows for our house by tacking it over the window screens and I put it over the screen door to make a storm door. I closed up the porch with it too. It was a cold winter but our house was warmer than it: ever was before. It cost me $6.70. The same job done with glass would of cost $115. When I took the Glass Cloth down this spring it was almost good as new. I figure we saved on both fuel and doctor bills. We hardly had a cold all winter.” Got Eggs A11 Winter “After using GLASS CLOTH two years I would not trade one frame of 1t for a dozen frames of ordinary wglass. Last winter I had only 36 hens, but many days I got as high as 33 eggs. ” ‘ ---W. B. Houstan Think' of the winter egg money he would have made if he had had 360 hensinstead of just 36. Now that you can have GLASS CLOTH it pays to keep hens over the win- ter. They pay bigger profits than . in summer time. due to high win- ter egg prices.
