SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1927 MILON GRINNELL Editor _ a Michigan State Fair use : may be regarded. asuccess com- f pared with previous, fairs. . Some” new and progressive features were added, and the premium list wae'im- ‘ proved in several classes. The at- tendance was nearly 100,000 greater than in 1326, due probably to a. great extent to the reduced admission. The gate receipts however, owing to the reduction was nearly "$20,000 less. Whether this was recovered in some other way I do not know but in any event an increase‘of 1000.000 visitors is worth some financial loss. It is claimed that more people came from up state, which is probably true. An attendance of 256,000 as reported is not what it should be, with 2,000,000 people within easy reach of the fair. Compared with the Canadian Na- tional- st Toronto which reports an attendance of over one million- it does not seem extravagant to say that Michigan should have 500,000. The many successful county fairs held in the state no doubt satisfy the fair going public in the rural dis— tricts, but it should be remembered that the State Fair brings together the very cream of production espe- cially in livestock. A model arrange- ment would be that the county fairs be held previous to the State Fair and the winners brought together in grand competition at the State Fair. More City Attendance I would emphasize the idea of in- ducing more city people to attend the fair. They should know more of the state’s agricultural resources. . It was encouraging to see the Gov- ernor showing a personal interestdiy attendance for at least two days. A state day when state officials, mem- bers of the legislature and others in high ofllcial circles should attend, would be a good move. .. At the great English show “The Royal," the King and retinue always attend showing the royal appreciation of the importance of agriculture to the nation. v Lots of Live Stoc The livestock departments at the Fair were well filled. Each year the quality has improved as breeders are learning that it does not pay to show inferior or unfitted stock. There was lack of Michigan exhbiitors in some classes, as Hereford and Swiss cattle, and but a. single exhibition in others as polled Shorthorns, Brown Swiss cattle and Standard bred horses. Ev- idently there is little interest in these In Michigan. The Michigan beef producers pre- premium for fat steers made a good start and the prize animals sold well. Director Crepe is entitled to credit in starting this movement. It will ultimately grow into a Michigan tat. stock show. In sheep, lead ' ‘in Shropshires numbers, but the total of the six. classes of Merinos made a great show. The show of wool fleeces inaugurated by Supt. Freeman was large but would be more useful if cards were attached to each fleece, giving the breed. months of growth, with 13.. sample of staple shown on card. Also it would be interesting if the kind of goods made from the different grades was mentioned. - Poland China and Durac- swine. seem to lead and the Spotted Polands are gaining in number shown. The bonus of 20% to Michigan winners was discontinued this Year, to. my mind, a mistake. show against strong competition from outside. and as the state _nakes a. large appropriation for the fair, it a I unreasonable that state State exhibitors - ‘ “What I Thought of the Michigan State Fair” . Suggestions Are Made on. How Exposition May B By IRA H. BUTTERFIELD ATHEB. is“; for an article about the State Fair? Yes, it would be ’ team to publish an article of the average type, but this one was prepared by Mr. In H. Butterfield, Michigan's “Grand Old Man of Agrimlture” and not Only does he discuss the 1927 fair but he makes some excellent suggestions on how to make the next one better. And who is better prepared to make a. comparison and suggestions than Mr. Butterfield who knows more about the State Fair and Michigan agriculture than any other man? Certainly , than is no man more interested in the future of the State Fair and we know our folks will find much of interest in this article—Editor. by exhibitor. The breeder is the one to be encouraged. . Poultry made a large and good show. The increase in production classes is a good move. They are really the back bone of poultry pro—’ duction. The so-called fancy breeds are merely pet stock. If large cards indicating the production classes and also the‘fine collection of laying pens were placed, more satisfaction to ob- servers wonld ensue. And in general not enough pub- licity is given to exhibits. The state department of agriculture and Michi— gan State College exhibits are ex- amples of good advertising. The new Agricultural building was better filled and better arranged than last year. Crop production has not had the rank it deserves but is gain— ing. We have been breeding better stock, but the breeding of farm crops until very lately has been a hit and miss affair. I was particularly pleas- ed to see the number of entries in the “Wheat Special,” where yield is given the importance. I hope it will grow to include other crops. Boys’ and Girls' Club are increas- ing in poularitv and usefulness. No movement is more favorable toward keeping an interests in agriculture and country life than geting the boys’ and girls’ interest before they stray to suburban life. I was pleased to see the improve- ment in the art department, which Potato and Corn Crops Are Short PERIOD of hot weather coupled with frequent rains and no frost during the month of September hastened the Michigan corn crop to maturity and materially increased the prospects of a month ago so that 57 per cent of a normal crop is now expected. according to a statement issued by Herbert E. Powell, State Commissioner of Agriculture and Verne H.’ Church, Agricultural Sta— tisticianer Michigan. Potatoes that were planted late are still growing, and bean prospects'showed consider- abe improvement although rains late in the month delayed the harvest somewhat. On October 1, one-half of the corn crop in the State was mature, much of it had been cut, and most of the silo filling had been completed. The forecasted crop of 35,765,000 bush— els is still over eighteen million bushels short of last year’s produc- tion. The United States corn crop prospects also increased greatly in September, and the nation’s crop now promises to be only two per cent below last year. Michigan oats turned out slightly better than in 1926 and also above average with a yield of 33.5 bushels per acre. The total production is nearly the same as last year, but the quality is much better and is above average. The U. S. oats crop was 3.6 per cent smaller than last year with a yield of 28.1 bushels per acre. The potato forecast is for the smallest crop in Michigan since 1916 or only 23,771,000 bushels. The condition of 60 per cent of normal on October 1, is ten points below that in any other important late potato state. Consequently, the production (Continued on Page 17) 77w Farm Loan Bank Transfer If A. pw FRIEND WILL “we Yoon.

Governor Green’s appointment of women on the fair board was fully justified in the management of the art department by Mrs. Woodhouse. However a much large building a needed before this department can be adequately provided for. Several new features were added this year which should and probably did create a. wider interest in the fair, as the fly casting, which brought in the Isaac Walton League, horse shoe pitching and the minor stunts of hog and cow calling. The latter more humorous than useful. They should be better advertised as to time. Few people knew the day or hour when they would occur. The horse pulling contest was again renewed, and created great in~ terest. The hour of trial was rather early for farm visitors. Horse breed- ers should know that the only value of these contests are not mere trials of strength, but are being made of scientific value in the study of con- formation as related to strength. It is more than a mere prize fight. The increased attendance made parking a premium, but the police management seemed to be adequate -—however this is becoming a prob-. lem. In Front of Grand Stand The grand stand was well filled and the vaudeville acts were clever. The races were well contested but the fields were small. There is no ques- tion but that racing on the trotting tracks is slowly declining in public interest. It is not thrilling enough for modern days. The spectacle “Seige of Troy" was an elaborate scene but to me not particularly interesting until the real fireworks began. Altho no doubt it was well played, one could not get an idea of what it all meant and the historical feature was lost. I have no use for the modern mid- way so I will say nothing about it. I feel sure that it could be omitted and replaced by something just as at- tractive and more useful. And now comes the question: “What can be done to make the fair still more useful?” It is a state in- stitution and the state is responsible for any advance or improvement. I am sure that Mr. Fred Chapman, the efficient manager would welcome any suggestions that would make the fair more useful and interesting to the people of the state. I would like to see a. questionaire submitted to the rural people who attend the fair, asking, "Why they came, What they saw of interest, suggestions regard- ing changes or improvements." Just how this could be accomplished I have not thought out, but outside the city it could be done with little ex- pense through the county agents if they could be interested. A con— census of opinion might lead to something of value. There are many products of the state that are perhaps of minor Im- portance but in the total bring much revenue to growers, that are not seen at the fair. I will not mention them here, but I have a scheme for 8. winter fair in which I will speak of them more particularly. I would like to see a museum- of agriculture and pioneer life on the fair grounds. It would be an addition of historical interest. There is no more appropriate place for it than the fair grounds, and the sooner it is begun the more complete it can be made. If the manufacturers’ association would become interested in showing the people the great varietybf attic-g 193 made in Michigan I believe" it would help to a realization of greatness of the state not generally recognized. When a Saginaw county farmer flnds he has been visited by chicken thieves the first thing he does is to try to get in touch wit A. ,R. Geddes, who is a special of- ficer with the sheriff’s department be- cause Mr. Geddes has a reputation of being poison to these pests. \Vhen it comes to getting his_ man he does not have to take a back seat for anyone. Re- cently he 'got two that landed an M. B. F. reward for him. HE Canadian Northwest Mounted police who have become famous in fiction, the motion pictures, and throughout the criminal world for their ability to trace criminals have as their slogan, “Get your man.” Up in Saginaw county, they have something unique in the way of law enforcement ‘in this country—a county detective who, “gets his man.” Chicken thieves and criminals of the pettycrime variety, thought Saginaw icounty was heaven or at least the happy hunting ground until along came A. R. Geddes, and suddenly a criminal paradise was turned into a desert. Who can measure the influ— ence of a brave and corageous man, for A. R. Geddes is both brave and courageous? To follow criminals in ,ithe night, or any other time, until you finally “land” them takes cour— age, for these Criminals are prepared ~ to resist arrest, and many times do not stop at the taking of a life, in order to avoid being captured. Steal— ‘.ing in the rural districts of Saginaw - county became so bad, that farmers didn’t feel safe at night. Hundreds of chickens were lost; grain and oth- " or farm produce were being stolen nearly every night. The sheriff’s of— ficers were already overtaxed, and someone thought of putting on a I ‘ County detective. They didn’t write 7 a detective correspondence school for one’of their graduates either, but se— cured the services of a farmer, Mr. “Alfalfa .“ GUESS I bought the poorest farm God ever made,” declares a W.

By R. J. McCOLGAN GRANGtE COMMENDS SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT AND GEDDES HIERIFF‘S DEPARTMENT, Saginaw county: Whereas the loss of chicken’s by farmers through theft has beooune' a great menace. And whereas many chicken thieves are being captured and con- victed through the Sheriff’s office, therefore be it resolved that the Saginaw County Pomona Grange in session at Forest Grange, June 9th, 1927, commend the work of the Sheriff’s Department and especially Detective Ray Geddes. Further that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Sheriff‘s Department.—Oommittec: .Howard Smith, Henry Dei- bel, Sarah Garrett. Mlildron McLean, Secretary. A. R. Geddes, who knew just what crime meant to the people living in the rural districts, and when he got busy stealing from farmers started on the' down grade and criminals started being “sent up” for good long terms in our state prisons. If you feel that we are over en- thusiastic over the work of Detective Geddes, read a brief report of some of the outstanding chicken thieves that he has been instrumental in ar- resting, and seeing that they were convicted. The following record is only a part of the many arrests and convictions that Geddes has made, and in this list we have inclosed only his recent arrests of chicken thieves The following men have been alone. and larceny; of chickens on the night of May 17, 1927. Earl and ’Elmer Frasier were sentenced May 31, 1927, from one and a half to five years at Jackson. John Schultz and Hiram Rebedew convicted of breaking and entering chicken house of Frank Young, Bridgeport, and the larceny of chickens on the night of December 20, 1927. Schultz was sentenced from three and a half years to fifteen years at Jackson on May 31, 1927. Rebedew was sentenced from one and a half to five years at Ionia, May 31, 1927. Ed Cassidy and Charles Hodg— kins convicted of breaking and enter- ing chicken house of Henry Seidel, Lawndale, and larceny of chickens, on the night of May 4," 1927. Cassi— Four men who found Saginaw county an unhealthy place for thieves preying on the farmers and they have Mr. Geddes to thank for securing permanent addresses for them for from one to five years. Left to right they are: Egbert DeBar, 11/2 to 5 years in Jackson State Prison; Ralph Hardin, 2 to 5 years in Jackson; Hiriam Rebedaw, 1% to 5 years in Ionia; and Elmer Frasier, 1 year in Ionia. . . convicted of stealing chickens: Ralph Hardin, convicted of breaking and entering chicken house of S. E. Asp- in, Freeland, and also larceny of chickens on May 6, 1927, at night time. Hardin was sentenced to serve from two to five years in Jackson, on May 31, 1927. Earl Frasier, Elmer Frazier, and Egbert De Bar, convict- ed of breaking and entering chicken house of Glenn Munger, Freeland, day and Hodgkins were sentenced ’ Former F armér Wins Praise, for ‘Work Against Chic ’- June 20, 1927, from one to five years . at Ionia. These two men pulled twenty-two chicken robberies in Sag- inaw county since April 1, 1927, stealing nearly five hundred heavy chickens around Saginaw. Freeland and Hemlock. They sold their chick— ens at Flint to the Wolcott Produce Company. We of THE BUSINESS FARMER are ken Thieves happy to pay Mr. Geddes fifty dollars reward for the arrest. and conviction of Charles Hodgkins and Ed Cassidy. These two men stole chickens from Henry Seidel and William Wagner, both readers of THE BUSINESS FARMER. They stble over four hund- red chickens valued at five hundred dollars. Bothof these chicken thieves were sentenced on June 20th from one to five years, with a recommenda- tion of one and a half years. There was a. little misunderstanding in the paying of this reward, due to the fact that these thieves stole from two of our readers, but it was handled as one case, and therefore there was only the chance to pay one fifty dollar reward. we want to make it clear, in order to avoid any misunderstand- _ ing. THE BUSINESS FARMER pays fifty dollar rewards for each separate ar- rest and conviction of poultry thieves. For example, should two chicken thieves go down the road at night and steal from three 'or four of our readers, and then were caught and arrested, and convicted, we could not V pay three rewards, nor should we be expected to doiso, because three dif- ferent readers last poultry. The re- wards are paid for each arrest and conviction, and not for each separate farmer from whom poultry was stol- en. It would be quite unfair to ex— pect any other arrangement, and THE BUSINESS FARMER is only too happy to pay these fifty dollar rewards, and they will be paid, as they have in the past, for each separate arrest and conviction; but if a chicken thief steals from five farmers and is only arrested on one charge, we can only pay the one reward. . ' In closing we wish to congratu- (Continued on Page 20) Two young men, Charles Hodgkin and Edwin Cassidy, who were found guilty of taking poultry from a subscriber to The Business Farmer.

Bill” Nelson Makes Sandy Land Productive: By DONALD KLlNE The year after the corn had been grown, he drew several loads of soil culture from a little patch of alfalfa which grew on the side of a road, seven miles away. Following a thor- rough harrowing and rolling of the , soil, he sowed the ten acre area, and was rewarded with a good stand. Imagine his surprise when he was able to cut a wonderful hay crop ’MIOHIGAN'S CHAMPION Bren scnoonroUI/rny J'UDGING TEAM- V Competingwith poultry‘ludging teams‘ from high Schools all over the state, teams . ,trom OWosso 'haVe successfully won the :Walter A.

I Even‘the hired man was en- thusiastic. Before that, Farmer Bill had to buy his hay from farmers several miles away. In a few years, it was these same farmers who came to buy hay from him. They had thought it was impossible for alfalfa to be grown on the sandy lands. Three years later Nelson grew a bumper corn crop on this field, quite a contrast to the first stand he had tried to grow. v - The next year he added another ten acres to his alfalfa stand. It was a hard job to convince the neighbors. I They‘ didn’t believe that 1, white soil,.‘which they called stuff, would ‘grow hay. This is how he conquered the blow sand, and made the' hill of sand into a beauti- ful hill of- alfalfa. .' It was not a lazy man’s job, this problem of wrestling a foothold for the alfalfa from the Sand. At first, he used lime screenings from a lime— ston’e vquarryto add .the necessary lime to the soil.

The house- wife can start it and operate it her— self. It sets underneath the tub in the same position as the electric motor on the electric Maytag. asoline Maui-Motor I c is IN -BlllLT Z W Whether you have electricity or not, you can enjoy the advantages of the famous Maytag Aluminum Washer; enjoy its cast-aluminum, seamless, lifetime tub that holds four . gallons more than ordinary washers, that keeps the water hot throughout a big washing, that empties itself and cleans itself. F fee Trial Write or phone for a Maytag. Use it on your next washing without cost or obligation. ‘ If it doesn’t sell itself, don’t keep it. After you have seen it do a big washing in an hour—wash such things as collars, cuffs, wristbands, even grimy overalls without hand- rubbing, then you’ll know why the Maytag enjoys world-leadership.

Some want to he! . etc" other: about how in” a band- lnzisneeded fortunes-thug“- pose. A friend in Corona wan to know what size building I would , build, and how to momodate 100 8 I come to think of winter. If I Were to build a. house for 100 h e n s , I Would select a site that would be suitable for a. larger building. It is quite possi- ble the 100 hot! business may be such a success a larger number may want to be cared for at some future time. The building itself I Would construct so that either the east or west might easily be removed and placed farther away if the house Were to be made larger. I would‘build it 20 feet square with in. cement floor. It would be as high in.“ the back as it was in trout, Would. have a gable roof and a straw loft in it. When all is said and done there is nothing like a straw loft for hen or hog houses, or‘ any other building in which stock is kept. It holds the temperature more eVen and, with a more or less open hear below the straw and some sort of opening above the straw, the straw loft be- comes one of the most efficient means of ventilation. There Would be one or two good sized windows, snugly fitted into the west and east side walls and the front would be nearly all windows. The interior of the house may be fitted up to suit one’s own ideas. I might add that the nicer and more convenient you have the. house,'the more you will think oh your hens and their care, and really your think and care of your hens is ‘what counts in the egg basket. _It Will Be Fun Our laying house is about 200 feet from our Water supply and to those 1 L. w.

We have a but the water sup- ply was too far away, so we are lay- ing a one inch pipe to it from the pump. I sometimes think, when picking away at the hard pen clay (of which our subsoil consists) that ii I ever bought another farm I'd dig down on it and if the subsoil Was heavy clay I would pass it by. It certainly is hard digging. Post holes are next to impossible to dig and this pipe trench is certainly a perpluity. We do not Workat it steadily, as ithat would no doubt prove more than we bargained tor—we work at it for sort of an odd job aflair. Pipes are - about 20 feet long and we try to get at least one length in WM we work at it. The pipe is m h a tour inch tile.

Duncan perceived that he had meant to add, "When I get better clothes on and show her what a man has her, she'll feel differently." Duncan looked at him thoughtfully. He was a fine looking man. No doubt con- quests came easy for him. The boy turned back to the figure on the other side of the fire with a certain puzzlement visible on his brow. After all, what did he know about this girl? Perhaps she might be reconciled to her captivity. Was it wise to risk his own life. “Nonsense !" he said to himself sharply, I and went out to help with the horses. There were only five at hand, he noted, and there were six, including the girl, to ride. Locke strode up as the boy ran a. practiced hand over the girths. “Take the girl behind you,” he ordered. Duncan went back to her at once. She was, standing, and looked up as he came Closer. The color that had been in her cheeks yesterday had gone out like a. blown candle. Her hair hung limply about her cheeks. Her eyes were red, and her mouth was the mouth of a woman years older than the girl he had known. _There was anguish there, and despair; She was at once a woman in a horrible predica- ment and at the same time a little girl too young and bewildered to realize that what had happened to her was true. Nightmares had come before; each time she had cried out for her daddy and formd him. Now 'shc struggled to break this nightmare, but her father did not come. Her heart cried out for someone to take his place, to prove to her that her world still stood and that these horrors of the night would pass away. “You are to ride behind me,” he told _ her. “Keep your heart up. We’ll get away from , hem yet.” . ' _ For the rst time something alive showed in her eyes. She took a. quick step toward his. “Will we really—?" she said. and hung onto his, answer as if he had only to say the word to put her back with her father. Duncan had to check that. “Don't be (00 friendly,” he warned. “Treat me like dirt. Keep/em fooled." . -' Fortunately, she was wearing hen, “breeches, 'Duncan had her mount .astrid'e.

The big saddle was large enough for both of their slim bodies. He paused a moment thoughtfully, then took the tie rope from . the saddle horn and passed it around her, so that she was tied securely to him. Locke had been waiting. When Duncan was ready, he gave the word. The troo set off. ~ Early in the afternoon they filed into a clearing in a small valley far back in the hills.- 'They had cut across streams, climbed hills, wound thru timber, so that Duncan had only a rough idea. where they were. He knew that. they were markedly east and perhaps a. bit south of the Au- gusta Court House, and guessed that it might be as short a way to get out of the mountains to go east, as to go back to the great valley they had left to the west- ward. A string of log huts had been built close to the little creek. A good sized cor- ral for the horses was nearby. Duncan recognized the big draft horses of the Moraviaus in the enclusure. Upwards of nfteen men were about, some ‘of them carrying packs from the horses to a. spot in front. of the cabin. The rest were standing about as if waiting for some- thing. As Duncan expected, he recognized the branded man of Mecklenburg. Evi— dently he had been the advance agent for the bandits. Locke‘lifted the girl off the horse. She could hardly stand. He half carried her into the cabin, disappeared within it, came out promptly and shut the door. ’ Duncan Went with’the other men to un- saddle and turn loose the horses. The four that worked with him went at the job with furious haste, exchanging low comments as they worked. As soon as they finished, they'ran back to where a ring was form- ing with rLocke in the center. The boy went and joined the rest. In the center of the ring was piled the spoil of the raid. There were two rifles, four muskets and a keg of powder, some bullet moulds, some sides of bacon, a. bag of meal and a miscellany of clothing. “These things go into a common fund," the captain was saying. “The money—— which I shall now count out—is as usual to be split in five parts, one part for me and the rest equally divided among you. The money we get from the horses will be divided the same way." “What about the boy, sir?" asked, respectfully. “He’ll stay here and help with the work. No chance for ransom, even if we wanted to risk it'. He can’t get away.” He paused, and back in the crowd came a thin whisper: “What about the girl?" Locke put his hands on the butts of two silver mounted pistols he carried in his belt. “The girl stays with me 1” he declared. someone IV—THE CAPTAIN ’S FISTOL Duncan carried Agnes SaWyer her sup- per that night. He stood outside, handed her the trencher, and waited while she ate. In order to quiet any suspicions, he sat down on a log‘near the door and put his head sleeplly betweenhis hands. Act- ually, he spent the time talking to her, but anyone a. few yards away could not have guessed it. ‘ "No danger for a. while,’.’_ and he was carefully not to say specifically what the danger was._‘ “They’ll all sleep sound tonight.

A personal reniv will be sent to you TEXT: “And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm 1:3d. “ HEN the Lord makes me worth $25,000.00 I will serve , Him,”, said my preacher- friend. The writer has known other preachers who are clever in dicker- ing with God, but none so outspoken- ’ ly presumptuous as this one. Verily, Jacob of old has a numerous prog- eny. But ever since that rich farm- er in the Gospel picture was con- demned as an unprosperous soul, we have known that stuffed barns and filled grain bins are not distinctive marks of prosperity. The foolish- ness of this farmer led to his de- struction. But God said long before that “The prosperity .of fools shall destroy them.” On the other hand, those ancient days have framed the portrait of a man who found the road to true prosperity. The sign— posts are clearly marked in the first psalm as follows: Delight in the Truth (2), the bearing of fruit (v3), and a walking with Jehovah (v6). These, according to our text, make one prosperous. First of all, then, one’s prosperity is determined by one’s delights. Let us get it straight. When one’s de- lights are set upon earthly husks, one is unprosperous. The soul is in a state of decay. The prodigal is an extreme case, but not Luke’s moral- ized farmer. This man, as far as we know, provided well for his family, paid his honest debts, was interested in good roads and schools, and went to church on Sunday. The only thing God had against him was that his heart was in the wrong place. It centered in bigger barns, odoriferous hog~pens, and accumulated lands. Are there any now-a—days like him? The offering: was being taken for “God’s poor.” An aged laborer threw in one and one—half dollars. The rich farmer for -whom this man worked gave but a few cents. On arrival at his home after the service he hurried to show the writer his fine hogs. He proudly pointed out the fine curl in the old sows tail. Now wasnt that farmer’s heart' peri- lously near his hog-pen? A short visit told that he had little religious interest. He was just a church “joiner.” He seemed little con- cerned about others or the bearing of Revealed Truth upon his. life. But let us be fair and say that some farmers are delightfully different. They are not endangering their souls through prostituting the blessings of Providence. They have set their hearts for the defense of the Truth and delight in the service it is ren- dering the world. To delight in “the law of Jehovah.” indicates an healthy and prosperous soul. Of course, that means today to incorporate within the under- standing of thesoul the' principles of Jesus, and to make these meaningful in the motiVes and acts of life.‘ When ~one finds the saltfiof life growing savorless, or more literally, when 'one is making a fool of one's self; one is off the prosperous way. Christ is this way. He came to make the soul prosperous. Other things do not matter so much. The writer un— swervingly believes that though edu- cation, a broad culture, and‘pure pleasures, may contribute to refined living,’ nothing can cleanse the, soul of disease and the life of crookedness but the applicationof Christ’s teach- jugs. The apostle confirms, this when he says that to be “filled with the knowledge of his will” gives “spiritual wisdom and “understand- ing." God mark the man as pros- perous who delig ts more and more tie-bring his life under the influence of Eternal 'Truth. _ . The psalmist describes this man as _“li_ke a tree planted by the streams ot'”water, that bringeth forth its fruit in' season." ' Certainly, to have- ' a tree bear fruit it must be healthy. It “must prosper. And, conversely. .its prosperity is known by its fruit- earing.‘ Christ put this principle into “Awards, ‘Af treads known: by; I its fruit.” This season has given us sparingly of fruit. Why? The trees, the trees! The trees have been so diseased as to defy the best formu- las of our spraying authorities . In like manner, souls so diseased as to mock the presumed curative proper- ties of human formulas, clean through the power 'ofthe Gos- pel. One who is nourished ,by Him who is “the water of life” bears fruit. The fruit is new and good because the creature is new. This new life stimulates one’s whole nature to fruitful activity. When one drinks of the Living Water, one has the motive and power that issue in prosperous living. The weeds of 6 Jr A .R n become . life are crowded outlthrough the-cul- ' tivation of the“ good. The good of life is never so substantial ant; the joys so unalloyed as when one irri-‘ gateslife's garden with the psalm— ist’s streams of water.” It is said of this one, “whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Finally, the prosperous man is marked because he “walketh not in the counsel of the wicked." The parallelism of the first verse reaches a fatal climax. “Walketh,” “stand- . shall slide.” eth," and “sitteth” with the Wicked‘ are the three steps to failure and glopm. The writer found him sit— ting in a foul, old building with other derelicts. The signs of better days were yet upon him. “What are you doing here?" the man was asked. “I am sliding into hell,” he replied. And then in tears this wreck told how, in the gilded and mirrored saloons of the city, he couseled with the wicked, and now he was sitting with them and could not get back. Truly, “the way of the Wicked shall perish” because the Lord knows not this way. But “Jehovah knoweth the way of t h e righteous,”———- the prosperous. _L ("8.78). " Ii / x . '15an walked in this way so panda. ly and had such satisfying experi- ence that he testifies, “A man’s go- ings are established of . Jehovah.” “And stops too” says Geo. Muller. The walk of the man who delights in the Truth is limited to moral safety zones. “The law of his God is in his heart and none of his steps The soul who does not sit idly by but thinks and acts within the realm of the Highest Law, has found the way to eternal prosperity. Proof: “And Enoch walked withGod: and was not. for God took him." Now, what kind of prosperity are you most interested in? “Seek ye first His kingdom and His righteous- ness, and all these things (material) shall be added unto you.” This is the standing rule for him who reck- ons that inward prosperity should run ahead of outward progress. How many folks sweat and fume for Mam- mon and lose out with God Any kind of adversity is better than a prosperity that works ruin to the soul life. So, “whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” is spoken of the man whose strength lies in spiritual foundations.

THE STATE FAIR A DETROIT newspaper recently published an editorial criticising the present State Fair and suggesting that if Detroit was given a more prominent place among the exhibitors its . success would be far greater. Too much agricul- ture seemed to be the writer’s opinion. The State Fair should represent Michigan as ‘ she is. Detroit with all her industries should be given space and especially would a complete auto- mobile show win much interest. But we do not want to see the time come again when Detroit dominates as it did in years gone by. Agriculture is the backbone of the nation and it should be the backbone of the fair, in our estimation. Discussing what can be done to make it a great show the writer cited the Canadian National Ex- . postion at Toronto as an example. Why didn’t ‘ he compare the Michigan State Fair with the World’s Fair? Susely he wouldn’ compare a cheap automobile with one of the most expensive kind, yet he considers our State Fair in the same ' ‘ light as the Toronto exposition.

Otsego County Herald- I Times, of Gaylord, urged Michigan motorists to be very courteous to tourists and. help "sell" our State. A If you see a motorist stalled along the highway you are asked to stop and offer help. If you see him at a corner apparent- ly puzzled about directions, stop and advise him, it says. And.there are other little things of this nature we can do, according to this paperfthat will help. ment Bureau commented very favorably on the idea. - ’ The idea is a good one alright, we readily ’ agree, and we wish it would work as well as all good citizens would‘like to have it. Perhaps it will work in the northern part of the State, but not near, any of our large cities because there are too many bandits at large, roaming our public highways. Many a motorist has stopped to help what appeared to be a fellow motorist in trouble only to be held .up and relieved of his valuables. Automobile clubs are warning their members against offering help‘or stopping to,give lifts to folks walking along the highway, because of the large number of robberies. is second "to AN ALFALFA RECORD T is very interesting to notice the increasing I popularity of alfalfa in Michigan and how it is changing the farm program. County Agricul- tural Agent H. L. Barnum of Missaukee county recently told us that the farmers in his county have doubled their acreage each year for the last three years. Because of the alfalfa dairying has come forward in that northern county until today it takes a leading part in the program of the farms. And not many years ago few people could conceive of Missaukee ever becoming [a dairy county. County Agent Barnum believe Missaukee has a record for others to shoot at. He is of the opin- ion that itis the only county in the State having an average of five acres of alfalfa on each farm. How about it, county agents? HERE'S A NEW ONE KALAMAZOO citizen was awakened one night by a noise in his chicken coop. He went out to investigate and found a neighbor in the coop standing beside two dead chickens. When he was arrested and charged with stealing chickens he entered a plea of not guilty, claiming that his presence in the coop was due to walking in his sleep. The judge couldn't see it that way and fined him $25. Next time this chap gets to walking in his sleep We wager he will'not stray so far from home. BEAT THIS IF YOU CAN HE other day we received a letter from Owen Garrett, of Alcona county, in which he stated that he was forwarding by separate mail a ripe tomato which he desired us to inspect and “test.” The tomato was grown on a. two year old vine, he said, which stood in the bay window of his home. Standing nearly five feet high the vine has both ripe and green tomatoes as well as blossoms on it at the same time. It was taken into the house about the first of Octo- ber, 1925, and he picked the first ripe tomatoes in February, 1926. Since that time he has had ripe tomatoes about every two weeks. The next mail brought us the tomato which was rather small in size but wonderfully flavored. We echo Friend Garrett’s question, “Who can beat it?" FOOLISHNESS ' RGANIZED sportsmen of the State are ad- vocating, a. bond issue to'be used for thgbuy- ing of timbered lands to be set aside as for- est reserves primarily'to furnish food and protec- tion for wild life.

J. Hawley."—-Mrs. W., Mes— costa county. ' The above letter is typical of many received at our office so we have plenty of reason for getting “down” [on the picture agent. There are var— ious ways of “welcoming” him, such as using a number 10 shoe, the broom or an ugly dog, but if he does get into the house by some hook or crook you can use the method employed by one ofour Eaton county friends. We will let her explain her method, which we believe she will recom- mend: ‘The picture agent called on me some time ago. As usual he had the lucky envelopes to draw. I let him get wound up and then told him I would have nothing to do with his envelopes. I asked what company he represented, then I said: “Oh, yes, I have read of you in THE BUSINESS FARMER.’ He gave me such an inno— cent look and asked me to repeat the name of the paper. I said, ‘They warn the public about picture agents and many others.’ At that he said, ‘If some of these cheap farm papers are doing such things as that they are just trying to hurt honest business firms. My ‘usually sweet disposition’ began to sour just then and I said, ‘Don't you run down THE BUSINESS FARMEB for it is one of the best farm papers ever published, and if I want - any pictures a local photographer is good enough for me.’ He said may— be next time he came I would be feeling better and I said, ‘Never!’ At that he left. “Also think the linoleum man" ‘ was here recently, at least one an- , swering that description was. I did ' " not bite, but I hate to confess, I sure- ly would have if I had had the money. We sure like THE BUSINEss FARMER.” -—Mrs. F. 0., Eaton county.

Address letters: \ LeonATE your-note paper with from crepe paper and use the following verse for invitations to the Hallowe’en party: ’ On Monday night If the moon shines bright Join the ghostly band From no man’s land! Feel no alarm! 1 VVe’ve found a charm To keep off harm! Decorate the house with jack-o’- lanterns, witches cut from black paper, black cats, and any other ap- propriate figures. In one corner of the room have a big black kettle sus- pended over a make-believe fire. After the guests have arrived some member of the family dressed as an old witch rushes into the room. The lights have been turned very low to make it look more witchy. In a. covered basket the Witch has a num- ber of ingredients which she will need for charms. She gives the has- ket to the hostess and their stands, muttering over her witch pot. The hostess explains that the objects must be passed through every hand till they reach the witch, and forms the company into a line. Then she bandages everyone’s eyes and passes first a hot baked potato. Of course it is not hot enough to burn anyone but still this is passed very quickly to the next and all along the line little screeches follow. Next comes a. piece of ice, an old glove filled with damp mush, a large soup bone; a large grape without the skin and an oyster. The horrid feel of these various things will keep the com- pany squealing and when the last has been droppedinto the witch’s kettle the bandages are removed and they may all look in. The old witch then stirs and stirs and finally she gives to each player an orange envelope. The paper in- side seems blank but when held over a candle the fortunes, which are written in lemon juice, become read- able. A clever hostess can think of many amusing fortunes to write on the papers. ' .If you are fortunate enough to have some one among your friends who is clever at telling fortunes, let her dress as a gypsy and occupy the “Fortune Telling Tent." If she (or he) is not able to make up her own lingo, follow the suggestion in the following paragraph. The booth is partitioned off with a curtain. outside have stationed a ghost. This is a sheet stuffed to re- semble a human form. .On the in- side. of the booth, which is lighted by a red candle, the gipsy sits at a small box on which, lays the for- tune whe’el.

LEAR-NED IN THE COLLEGE OF EXPERIENCE GREAT saving of time when laundering the muslin caps to the comfortables is to have a good sized dress snap sewed on the comfortable and the other section of the snap on-the muslin cap which is so easily changed. Before frying pancakes take the egg beater and give them a. vigorous beating. This makes them very fine and light. It is also very good for cakes before putting them into the baking pans.

If an accident should occur at the , ble, the hostess should make the guest eel at ease immediately. No sub- ject should be discussed, if a guest is present, which is not of interest to her or of a. nature which would be embarrassing to her. to food give a preference even if it is immaterial to you. It will aid the hostess in servingg Never refuse a. serving. :Eat some of the serving. If taking an active part in the conversation, /too much at- tention to the conversation may seem the reason for not eating all of the serving. It is quite proper. to have a second serving of food. show appreciation to the hostess’who un- doubtedly has planned something that she hoped would be agreeable to her guest. The hostess should never finish eating before her guest. A guest for one meal should not fold the napkin at the end of the meal but place it on the table before leaving. A guest for more than one meal should fold the napkin at the end of the meal. Serving the meal. All the food is placed and served from left of the per- son except the beverage which is placed A salad served with the main part of the meal may be placed from the right. All plates are removed from the left of the person exce‘pt the unused knives and spoon which should be removed from the right. In asking if a second serving is desired, do notouse the word “more.” “May I serve you" or -f‘may I give you” is a better form. All of the members at the table should have been served before any member at the table begins to eat. The hostess should begin eating, as a signal for the other members to begin. A water glass should not be filled more than three-fourth full. General table manners. The position at the table should be an erect one, el- bows never resting on the table. The spoon should not be left in the cup when drinking from it. It is quite proper to test the temperature of the beverage with the spoon, but after having tested the beverage, the spoon should be placed in the I saucer. In eating soup. the spoon should be dipped away from the person eating. Sip from the side of the spoon. A dish should not be tipped in order to get the last bit remaining in it. In eating a slice of bread, break it in small pieces before spreading it with but- ter. In passing a plate for a second help- ing, place the knife and the fork straight on the plate, and a little to one side, in order that there may be no danger of their slipping off and that part of the plate may be ready to receive the food. In passing dishes the thumb and fingers should not come above the top of the plate. Tooth—picks should not be used in public. They should be used only in the privacy of one's room. The silverware or the china should not be played with while waiting for the food to be served nor should the silver be used for gesticulat- ing. The food should not be held on the fork While talking; having once picked the food up eat it promptly. One should not leave the table without being excused, except when one is serving as a. waitress. Bread or crackers should not be broken into soup. In using the finger bowl, the finger tips of only one hand at a time should be dipped in the water. The nap- kin is used to dry the water from the finger tips. In using a dinner napkin. it is better not to unfold the napkin fully, only partly unfold it. The napkin should not be folded or unfolded above the top of the table. Always use the napkin in as inconspicuous a. manner as possible. Foods eaten from the fingers—The fol- lowing foods may be eaten from the fins- ers: crackers, olives, pickles, celery, rad- ishes, corn on the cob, most raw fruits. salted nuts, crystallized fruits and ben- bons. Apples, pears and peaches are serv- ed with a knife and are quartered, peeled. and cut into small pieces before eating. Cherries, plums and grapes are eaten one by one, the stones and the seeds being removed with the fingers and placed on the plate.

AMERICAN ssPARATon‘ co. .rMottooi: V DO YOUR sssr vr ‘Colors: BLUE AND GOLD I _ EAR Boys and Girls: Our “Fish” contest certainly was 9. popular one and most of those who ans- swered it proved themselves good fishermen by giving a. crorect list. It is too bad that all could not be rewarded but it was to be the first three to send in correct lists and they were reat Marsh of Route 3 out of No , Ruth Zook on Route 1 out of Mio, and Kathleen Anderson who lives near Croswell on Route 5. The “Mystery Prizes” were a. Boy Scout jackknife for Treat, a. fine big school bag for Ruth, and a. nice purse for “ Kathleen. All of these will come in very handy I feel sure. I think “Mystery Prizes" are best don’t you? If you know in advance just what you will get if y0u win it isn't near as much fun, is it? Then, if prizes are named in advance they are not always suitable for those who win them, but when they are “Myst- ery Prizes" they can be chosen ac- cording to the winners. Now here is another new contest, one entirely different than any other we have ever had. We want a title for the picture that appears below and it is up toyou boys and girls to supply this title. Can you do it? We want something real clever, ser- ious or funny, and the boy or girl to send in the best title will receive a dandy “Mystery Prize." Also there will be prizes for second and third best. In addition I will send pins and pledge cards to the first ten to- send in their titles, providing, of course, they have not. already re- ceived pins. The contest ends November. 5th and letters postmarked later than 12:00 noon of that day will not be considered. More than one title can be sent in if you wish but you must number them as to your choice. In the event the judges choose a. title sent in by two or more the one re- , ceived first will get the prize. Now let’s, see just how clever‘you can be 3 at naming pictures—~7—UNOLE NED. .

Would you advise set- ting ' Wagener and, as they are no a large tree, would you set cherries as filler with apples forty feet? Our local commission man advised me to stay by old vari- eties; Spy, Bald- win, Greening. Would like to add two more to V --my present two: Herbert Nafziger say Wagener and , ~ Greening. Would you advise German Prunes in heavy ground?——J. C. M., Sfcottville, Mich. McINTOSH and Delicious are both more or less self sterile so the combination of the two will do very well to pollinate each other. Personally I believe that the Me- Intosh is the better variety of the two for the commercial orchardists in Michigan. Your. commission man gave you good advice when he told you to stick to the standard varieties. You are safe in planting Greenings. It is one of our most productive va- rieties, but be sure to get Rhode Island Greening. If the Spy does well and colors well in your neigh- borhood. then you should by all means plant some Spies. They are hard to beat. Our experience with the Wagoner has been that it is very fine and very productive while young, but it is small and poorly colored on old trees. We would ven- ture the suggestion that you plant some Spies and use Wageners as fill- ers between the Spies. We are us- ing this combination on our own place and find it very satisfactory. The Wageners "bear their heads off” while you are waiting for the Spies to bear, and then when the Spies get down to business and need more room the Wageners will be on the down grade and it will not require such a lot of courage -to pull them out. The Wagoner would also do very well as a filler between the Greenings and McIntosh. I know of no reason why your plan of using cherries as fillers should not be 0. K. provided you are blessed with the necessary amount of gump- tion to pull them out when they be- ginto crowd the apples trees. It you want some good blue plums, we would suggest the Grand Duke and the Monarch. Veterinary Department Edited by DR. GEO. H. OONN (Questions cledly answered free for paid-up subscribers.

Have meat scraps right in coop and my dry mash is 'equal parts of corn meal, oatmeal, and middlings, for scratch feed corn and wheat. I am feeding to fatten and if all right how many quarts should I feed at a time and how often.am I to feed? Am getting two and three eggs now a day but not by the same hens always and are oats a good feed for scratch, have oyster shells all the while?—Mrs. L. A., Marion, Michigan. GOOD rule to follow in feeding hens is to allow twelve pounds of scratch feed per day to each hundred birds, keeping the mash be— fore them at.all times. -Many times the birds ‘will demand a greater amount of scratch feed, but the amount given over twelve pounds should be governed by the birds ap- petite—C. G. Card, Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M. S. C. SPOTS IN EGG Could you please tell me what makes spots in the eggs? It con— sists of a kind of fleshy substance with blood in it and it is about the size of a field pea. My hens all seem to be healthy.—Mrs. J. K., Eckford, Mich. HE fleshy substance which you mention in the egg is caused by some small part of the ovary slipping off with the egg yolk. There is no need for alarm as a few of these eggs are laid in any flock. ——J. M. Moore, Extension Poultry— man, M. S. C. “ALFALFA BILL" NELSON DIAKES [SANDY LAND PRODUCTIVE (Continued from Page 4) Farmer Bill fooled them. As soon as they showed up he would disc or harrow the land. He did this until about August first when it seemed certain that they had been killed. Mr. Nelson now mixes 500 pounds of acid phosphate with 200 pounds of sulphate ammonia which he sows to about an acre and a half of land, besides all the barnyard manure he can get. _ Immediately after a rain in the latter part of July or the first part of August he sows the seed, not more than eight pounds to the acre. Nelson has found that this mois- ture is necessary for the seed to germinate and to get a start on the light sand. . 7 Even Jason Woodman was sur- prised those first years. One night at a farmers’ meeting Mr. Woodman announced that for once he was not. going to do any talking, but that there was a man in their midst whom he was going to have talk. That man was Farmer Bill. He made them a little speech, straight from the heart, because he loved to talk (about alfalfa. Nelson was no public speaker but he certainly know what he was talking about. That was why he was asked by the Farm Crops Department to give a. radio talk over WKAR to the farmers of Michigan in January and it was fascinating to listen to him tell the story of his success in get- ting the best of the blow sand. The alfalfa is cut when one third of the plants are in bloom and the new buds are well started. Mr. Nel- son cuts cross ways of the field and rakes cross ways of the math, in order to save as many of the leaves as possible. He only makes two cut- tings a season.—~Donald Kline.

Last year we sold our beans to the local elevator and at the time the price was $3.85 per hundred pounds But did We receive that? Absolute— ly not! We allowed the elevator $1.43 for picking and received $2.42 for our beans. Now the way nearly every one around here feels is that the elevators are robbing us as We pay twelve cents a pound to have the beans picked and do not even get the picks back, but have to pay on top of this $20.00 per ton for cull beans. In one case a man bought seed beans from the elevator and paid a fancy price for hand picked beans. After sowing he had a hundred pound bag left and the elevator man, not knowing at first that they Were seed beans that Were being returned" picked a sample and was going to take out an eleven pound pick, so it goes to sow that they do not pick as close after they get our beans for themselves as they want to pick for us on our samples. I am inclined to think the trouble at .present is with our, elevators. They know' what the» markets are and if they would give us a_ square deal on the beans the farmer Would be satisfied with a fair price and our culls back,or receive [some return for them. We give the elevator $40.00 on 150 bushels or 750 pounds of beans. ‘ Yours for better marketing condi- tions and much 'praise for your help on the chicken thieves—C. B., Eaton County.

The cattle shortage may be in- ferred from the fact that a short time ago the receipts for the year in seven western pa. points were 7,270,000 head, against 8,705,000 a year ago.‘ Recently the demand for stock and feeder cattle has come largely from Michigan, Ohio and In- diana, but fair shipments went to eastern grazing datricts. It is prob- able that mnch less cattle feeding than usual will be done this winter, and good profits seem probable. Late sales were made Of, steers at $9.50 to $16.80, largely at $10.75 .to $15.40, with the top yearlings at $16.7 5, while steers sold a’ year ago for $7.25 to $12.50. The best heifers sell at $12 to $14, and the MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO DAILY HE 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.

There is going to be lots of damaged ’corn, as well as much injured oats, gand high grade seed corn will sell {high. There is a shortage of old corn, and the supply a short time 1150 farm reserves were estimated at |160,000,000 bushels, against 270,- 000,000 bushels a year ago. From various parts of the country come re- ports of failure of the corn crop, and this is true of northern Illinois, where the corn is going to be cut by hand in many instances. Only a short time ago it was stated that corn growers had disked Wheat on the land. The government crop re— port was a surprise, however, as it makes the corn crop only 44,000,000 bushels less than was harvested in 1926. There is about the same re- duction in the oats crop, while the wheat crop looms up big, the yield being placed at 867,000,000 bushels, a gain over 1926 of 34,000,000 bushels. As for prices for wheat, the outlook does not appear to point 'to a high level unless farmers hold down their shipments to reduced amounts, for there is a large world production, and competition to se- cure buyers is sure to continue keen. At the present time wheat is selling well below last year and far under the high time this year- . Farm Machinery in Demand The annual convention of the Na- tional Association of Farm Equip- ment Manufacturers has just been held in Chicago. Tractor, thresher and combine manufacturers in at- tendance report a gratifying increase in' sales and production during the past season. Tractor manufacturers have been running overtime in many cases and report increases in sales of from 25 to 60 per cent over 1926, which was a record year, with a total production of over 170,000 ma- chines. ' Cattle Prices Widen Out Within a short time there has been a great boom in prices for prime cattle Oflered on the Chicago market; due to their real scarcity in feeding districts, and the best sold the highest in many years, while there was a great widening out of cattle values. The few fancy offer- ings sold away above the next grade, and the best long fed weighty steers lin s. _ in fivestern packing points has under- gone a big falling off, and even the common and middling kinds had large advances, while the unusual situation has brought out a lively demand for’stockars and feeders at large" advances in'prices, with late cattle have sold at an extreme range of $6.50 to $11, with stock and {feeder cows and heifers at ;'$5.7 5 to sold much higher than prime year- ‘ Cattle marketing for the year I sales largely at $8.50 to 310. These v i best calves have sold at $14 to $16. Chicago Hog Market There has been a gain in the .re- ceipts of hogs in western packing points this year over 1926; but supplies have run far short of other recent years. At times recently lights and underweights‘ Comprised a large share of the offerings, and Spring pigs have been numerous, with pack- ing sows decreasing. Recently too limited hog supplies sent average prices up to the highest level reached since March, with eastern shippers taking a large part of‘ the ‘ best hogs. For the year to late date the receipts in seven western packing pointsfoot up 17,535,000 hogs, com-. paring with 17,278,000 8. year ago, 19,974,000 two years ago and 23.- 7 21,000 three years ago. Hogs sold a year ago at $9.75. to,$14 and two years ago af‘38.20 to $11.90.

BEANS “Summing up the present bean situation, we feel that growers would be unwise to sell beans of.almost' any variety at this time, if they are equipped, financially and otherwise, to hold them." That is the advice that was given to- the bean growers of California the first of this month ‘ and to us it looks like excellent ad- vise for Michigan growers to follow. The annual slump in prices is with us and dealers are going, to load up and hold because the crop as a. whole is. in good condition. During the last few years they have made little more than the farmer on the crop but this looks like a chance to make up for past leases because there is a short crop. well for the 1927 bean crdpjthe way things look and the one to get paid is the one who holds the beans. “At least that is the way the market looks to us after studying all of the facts available at present. Should the growers succeed in getting con-r grass to also the tariff there will be still more reason for higher prices. . — r POTATOES Potato prices are lower than they should be and the sensible thing for a grower to do, in our Opinion, is to put his surplus in storage for future sale, because when the actual short— age is determined there will be a scramble to get potatoes.
