No particular form of relief was endorsed but it was readily «agreed that there most be relief of some kind before long or the farmer would go under. Tuesday altarnoon, October 25, State _Master George F. Roxbungh. of Reed City, gave his report before the 200 delegates, representing more than 30,009 Michigan Grangers, and this was followed by the reports of other oifioers. , “We must assert ourselves in no uncertain terms if the farmer ever is to enjoy the privileges of equality,” said the state master. “We are con- corned with prosperity for all and not for other groups only at the ex— pense of agriculture. Farming must. be made an organized industry on a par with labor and manufacturers. ‘ “First, we must fight for some other system of taxation. One that will relieve the burdensome levies upon real estate. “Secondly, our slogan should he ‘tariff for all or tarifl for none’.” ' Mr. Roxburgh urged the Grange to oppose all proposed reductions in federal income and inheritance taxes u'ntil a few more billions have been lopped off the national war debt. If congress feels the surplus is exces- sive the state master proposed pro- vision be made to return part of the federal tax to’the states for state ex- penses and educational purposes. ' ’ ‘ Indorses No Plan Endorsement of any one farm re- lief plan was withheld by the mas~ tor, but he recommended the dele- gates give thoughtful consideration to the administration’s stabilization corporation plank, the Grange‘s eer- tifieate debenture proposal, the McNary—'Ilaugeu equalization foo method and the (Lingo/plan for agri- cultural equality. -' “It In time for form organizations to speak in unison if we really want federal farm relief legislation," said Mr. Roxburgh, indicating he per- sonally was favorable to a movement to bring the Grange, Farm Bureau and Farmers’ Council into a pact to dares agricultural legislation legis— lstlon time-girth next union of congress. . , Other state and national problems listed in his message Included 9. de- mand for .a substantial reduction in freight rates on farm products, a fairer apportionment o funds to aid rural schools and the d velopment of the St. Lawrence waterway. . “We must oppose the organized effort to do away with the primary election,” the master said in express- ing no little alarm over a movement in state politics at present. “Like the airplane and the automobile the primary election law needs improve- ment, but it has come to stay," Rox- burgh asserted. _ ‘ At the Tuesday evening meeting Mrs. Dora Steekman, State Grange lecturer and member of the? State Board .of Agriculture. discussed f‘Tariffas a Farm Relief measure.” ‘ With the aid of charts and statis- tics furnished by Seecretsries Hoover and Jerome, Mrs. Stockmsn at- tempted to shew «that industry and labor were enjoying a larger “moo,- v sureof protection under the present ' “digits/Du; ingrkmtnre. she 0mm “Madam free,‘ , . ’fooaprodnctrcohi; “with ,.m_a.nuisctured articles assumption they areonioying much ’ protection under the present. 42 cents a bushel mumps wheat, but Mrs. Stockman said she had found Amer- ican mills were importing 13,000,090 bushels of Canadian wheat “soot free" each- ylesr. This wheat she ex. plained, was being manufactured in bond for expert. The cane sugar trust, she alleged, is enjoying a re- fund of 20 per cent of the duty it pays on Gnhan sugar. , “My talk must. not be considered as a tirade against the min," ex- plained Mrs. Stockman. “It is not a tirade against capital. It is not no attempt to tear down the wage ad- vantage of labor. But I hope it may prove ‘a spur, a. clarion call to the “more to go out and units in an efiort to obtain the same tariff ad- vantage as industry. Mrs. Stockman became ironical in dicussing efiorts to induce the gov- ernment to curb oil production to save the "oil supply of the future.” Nothing is mid, she asserted, about this being class legislation, yet if the farmers seek legislaton to regulate their production, immediately a howl of class legislation goes up. The Tuesday evening-meeting was a frec-for—all discussion of tarifl, tax- ation and farm relief. Besides Mrs. Stockman’s talk there was one on the MeNary-Haugen bill by Prof. J. E. Cox, of the Michigan State Col- lege, another on the debenture plan advocated by the National Grange by State Master Roxburgh, while M. B. McPherson. of Lowell, farm mem- ber of the newly-formed State tax commission, proposed adjustaient of taxation. Others to join in the de- bate were A. 3. Cook. former mas~ ter of the Grange, N. P. Hull and C. H. Bramble of Lansing, State Sen- ator Peter B. Lennon of Flint, and W. F. Taylor of Shelby. ‘ Mr. McPherson also argued in favor of an income tax for Michigan and urged that the members work for a. repeal of the 3 per cent sales tax on automobiles. - Another general business session took up the forenoon Wednesday, my BEIJEVE 11' PAYS no SPRAY Many fields of potatoes In Mb county wane badly damaged by the leaf hopper and their. but none 0! than were on the turn of Will Hnlett and can because they spayed their m 5 lines with Wm: mixture, tel-x .- power opt-Jar.

Potato Show Train For Southwest Michigan OUTHWESTEBN Michigan e to have a. potato show train this M1 to be operated by the New York Central lines in cooperation with the Michigan State College. Following practically the same course as the seed potato train oper- ated last spring, this train is sched- uled to stop at one point in each of the following counties: Jackson, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Allegan, Van Buren, Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, Branch and Hillsdale. One day stops will be made at one town in each county. > Last spring the seed potato train spread the gospel of better seed and‘ left in its path over 3,000 bushels of certified seed among .600 farmers of southwest Michigan. Even though this has been a bad year for pota- toes, the certified seed told their story and as -a result- many snore- farmers are interested in the use of, ~certified seed in the production of high quality potatoes. ’ A potato show will be held in each county wherell‘ibera-l premiums will he offered to the growers. Potato ‘* growers, Boys' and Girls‘ Club mem- bers, and agricultural high. schools have: indicated «their.

Over $109 in premium money will be provided for each county. Class- es in Russet Rurals, Irish Cobblers, White Rurals, Green Mountains and contests in various counties will be provided. Potato grading and marketing will be emphasized and liberal prizes will be offered-in grinding contests open to all farmers and Boys’ and Girls’ Club members, as well as students in agricultural high schools. There will be exhibits arranged by the Michigan State College and a potato specialist will be along to assist any grower in producing, grad- l-ing,» or marketing better potatoes. Those in charge of, the train want it understood that the consumer in town is invited to visit this train as well as the producer.-«;\ Something of special interest to the housewife is being arranged by the Home Eco- nomies Department of Michigan State College. ' ‘ The train will. operate from Do- cember 6 to 15. The date for each county will “be announced within a short tine—0. 1!. Price. while in the afternoon master’s, sec- retary’s and lecturer’s conferences were held. An open session in the evening with a banquet and State Lecturer’s program rounded out‘ a. full day. Dry Question Ofiicials indicated Wednesday that they were sharply divided on the best method to keep the State lawmakers working in the interests of prohibi— tion while in session at Lansing. Mrs. Stockman suggested the sending of 10 or 15 sensible women to legio- lature to cooperate with the men who are on the side of the drys. State Master Roxborough jokingly remarked that he had read an article some place recently that stated there are new four eongresswomen at Washington and three of them are wet. Both Grange leaders, however, agreed that conditions in the State and nation are not as bad as the wet: A would have us believe and the liquor ‘ interests are doing everything they can to weaken the public’s faith in prohibtion without much success. They cited the recent Detroit mayor- alty primary in which Mayor Smith, an ardent wet, ran a poor second, as an example. Business sessions took up both the forenoon and afternoon Thursday, ' the closing day and the conferring of the fifth and sixth degrees wound . up the fifty-fourth annual convention of the State organization. High lights of the final day were the resolutions presented and adopt— ed by the delegates. They were unan- imous in going on record as being in favor of whatever farm relief measure may be agreed on by leaders of the Grange, Farm Bureau and Farmers’ UniOn at their conference to be held this month in Washington. One delegate attempted to get an en- dorsement of the McNary—Haugen bill but others were reluctant to state a preference on any of the re- lief measures for fear of embaras- sing the national organization. Rep. John C. Ketcham, of Hastings, for- mer master of the State Grange, de- clared that he would vote for the best bill which the agricultural com- mittee, of which he is a member, can frame. He expects something ‘ like the MeNary-Haugen bill, modi- lied to meet the approval of Presi- . dent Coolidge, will result. A molution favoring a 3-eent gas be the final ‘ tax was tabled ’jnst before lunch but ' later was taken up again and named with the reservation there should he a. corresponding reduction In the weight tax if possible. Ask Special Session Other resolutions requested Gov. Fred W. Green to call a special ses- v sion of the Legislature to readjust , the inheritance tax; recommended a State law requiring railroads to con-— struct warning signals at crossings; where they are declared necessary by the, State Public Utilities Commis- sion, and urged. driving a motorwa- hicle while drunk be made a felony instead of a misdemeanor; favored the continuance of the rural free do— , livery. of mail on the present basis; asked more rigid enforcement of the prohibition law and the law 391nm: , the dumping of rubbish along public ' highways, and urged townships and counties to make available more funds for the upkeep of unpaved" roads on rural mail routes. ' Four different cities extended .invl- . ~ cations to the delegates to hold their 1928 meeting with them, the being East Lansing, Cadillac, Grand. Rapids and Kalamasoo. ‘ finally won out over the other j S a large amount of peppermint oil is produced in Michigan, it might be interesting to those not in the peppermint regions to read about this crep, hOW~grown, distilled, etc., and, as methods of handling any crop vary, may put some new thought in the minds of the old or new mint grower in the vregions where it is a part of the year’s crop grown on the farm. The peppermint plant belongs to the mint family of plants, having a stem and flowers quite similar to the catnip plant. It is grown for the oil contained in the leaves, not in the stem as would at first be thought by the uninitiated. The plant is propa- gated through the planting of its roots which are from a few inches to three feet in length and about three- sixteenths of an inch in diameter. On these roots are small nodules or join-tsfrom one to three inches apart from which the dew plant grows. Newvroots are growing on the plant throughout the summer and fall on and just underithe surface of the soil and. late in the fall are plowed doWn to aldepth of from three to five inches for protection from the freezing and thawing of late fall and early spring. Roots intended solely for planting purposes are sometimes and are not plowed under, these . the planting season opens. Flows in Fall We have made it our practice to .plow land intended for the new mint beds in the fall rather than early in the spring, as we find that we can get. away to an earlier start in the A spring and the soil works up in bet- t'er shape with a small amount of work than when spring plowed. A Well-pulverized seed—bed is a great aid in the planting, permitting the planter to work faster and to cover the roots more evenly. ‘ Roots intended for the new seed bed are dug from those plowed down in the fall and placed in small piles near the field to be planted. These ' F the two bills adopted by the legislature during its last ses- sion to help curb the activities of poultry thieves in Michigan the most important one was known as the- Hall bill, being introduced by Representative Hall. This bill is, "An act to regulate the buying and selling of poultry; to aid in the de- tection and prevention of crime in "the purchase and sale of poultry; and, to provide a penalty therefor." Section '1 of the bill reads, “Any person, firm or corporation engaged v-in the business of purchasing pouls try for the purpose of resale shall keep a record of the date of such purchase, the name and residence of the seller, kind of poultry purchased and the description thereof, whether such poultry was raised by the seller * or purchased from others, and if pur— "chased from others, then the name .of the person from whom the same was purchased 'by the seller and the date of such purchase, and if the sellerdelivers such poultry by means :fifautomobile or other'vehicle hav- ‘ajlicense thereon, then the num- (_;Asuch license". . . , v , tfon 2" states that the seller of Wtry must truthfully give,the nec- ‘ser‘y information to properly fill on“ this report, and he must sign it certify v to its correctness.

We sometimes dig an ordinary Wag-‘ on box full‘of the roots and plant direct from the wagon, keeping the roots well covered with a canvass or blankets. This is a satisfactory plan when the field is not too long. Our method of marking out the furrows in which the roots are to be planted vary somewhat. We used a_ one—horse two shovel marker for several years. This marker had shafts and handles and the shovels were placed thirty-two inches apart. A"‘three-by—eight inch plank was used as the runners of an eight foot dray, the runners being left blunt and this was used at different times to furrow out for the planting of the roots. When it is desired to make the furrows deeper, the driver stands near the front end of the dray which is being drawn by one horse, and to make them shallower he steps back nearer the rear end. Either of these markers can be made to mark the width» the farmer de- sires to plant the mint. 'our feet, .J.g " . ‘ rowing Methods Used in Michigan ‘to Produce Valuable Oil. By A MONTCALM COUNTY FARMER These furrows should be about four or five inches in depth. The shallow plantings will permit the new plants to get a quicker'start than when put in deeper than four to five inches. Planting We next take an ordinary grain «or gunny sack and fill it full With, the roots, tie two earners together with a strap of strings and hang it on our shoulders, in this way leav- ing both hands free fer planting. The roots are drawn out ,of the sack with one hand and the other helps to sep- arate the roOts and then'drops them‘ in the furrow one at a time, ends touching. As was stated above, we use all fours in the planting of pep- permint.

If the' - mint has been hoed a couple of times- in'addition to the weekly cultivating there is small chance for the weeds to grow as the foliage will shade the ground by this time. Our experi- ence has taught us that the early planted mint, like the early sown oats, brings home the bacon, also the more the mint is cultivated and the ground is stirred, the more oil we can expect when the crop is har- vested. p Harvest Time About the time the mint begins to reach full-bloom, the leaves will show: a golden glow, looking at them towards the sun. To us this is an indication that the harvest time is ready ‘and we at once start to cutting and bunching the mint. If left long after these indications show up, the leaves begin to fall to the ground and with" each leaf goes a drop of oil. To do a clean job of cutting, an ordinary scythe cannot be beaten, but unless the price of oil is very high, an old _mowing machine with the cutting bar shortened to a two foot length is very satisfactory. There are two'v—shaped irons fas- tened to the cutting bar which shove the plants to a near upright position and in this manner not much is'left on the ground. The mint hay is al- lowed to dry in bunches and when dry is drawn to the mint distillery. Oil can be distilled from the green‘ mint but it takes longer to get the ' oil out, and after it is loaded on a wagon must be taken ed in a short time as it will heat very quickly and in some manner cause'loss of much of the'oil. ' ' ' Distilling We do not own a, distillery but haul it to a neighbor’s still who does custom work, charging us from four to ten dollars a tub, depending on the amount the tub yields. In the ordinary still there are two tubs about seven feet in diameter and about as deep. While the oil is being distilled in one of these tubs the other tub is being filled so that there is no waste of time during the rush season. After the mint is in the tub and an airtight cover has been placed over it, steam is forced from an_ ordinary steam boiler through a pipe in the bottom of the tub. The hot steam forces the oil (Continued on Page 20) such 'finel‘and imprisonment in the discretion of the court, together with the costs of prosecution.

No one came near her. Duncan heard her sobbing to herself in the middle of the night, but did not dare to go near her least someone see him.‘ In the morning, he 'did chores of all sorts. Sleepy from the brbken rest of several nights, he was able to act the chuckle-head without much effort. He contrived to make mistakes amusing rath- er than irritating. The men seemed to accept him as they would a new dog; moreover, he was a handy butt for jokes. Half a. dozen men hustled around vig- orously, rolling packs, cleaning rifles and pistols, grooming and saddling horses. Captain Locke was to start off for the settlements to the east soon. The lucky ones of the lot would go with him, wind up the sale of the stolen stock and spend a happy night or two in the taverns' along the route. The man with the crooked nose was sit- ting on a log near the creek when Locke came up to him. Duncan saw the meet— ing and came cldsér to listen. "Coming?" asked the captain. The man pointed to his arm, still in a sling. “You don’t need an arm to ride." Locke was scornful. . “Spencer gave me ten shillings to take my place." the fellow explained. “Any- way, I ain’t fit to ride." . ' Locke turned away without comment. He noted Duncan, and beckoned to him. The boy slipped after him into ,the woods. “Keep your 'eyes open after I am gone," directed the captain briskly. “Say nothing to anybody, but tell me everything that happens. If they bother that girl—" “I’ll. find out everything, sir," Duncan assured him. "At a pinch, I could do more. I can shoot." x Locke looked at him thoughtfully. “No harm, maybe,” he said as if to him- self; "probably not much good, either. Well, hide this, and if anyone forgets who is captain here or that my cabin is to be left alone, use it on him—’41! your nerve holds." . He pulled from his belt one of the pist- ols that Duncan admired, a long, slim ’barreled weapon with its grip inlaid with siiver. Duncan put it- inside his shirt. The troop formed. Locke mounted. He waved the men around him. ‘ ' “Homer is in command while I am gone," he commanded. “I’ll be back be- fore you expect me. Keep the outposts on the trails. Don't fool with what does- n’t concern you." They rode off. Homer, an elderly man with a thick black beard and small pig eyes, sent off two pickets to watch the trails to east and west. The rest swore at their luck and. went to sleep. So did Duncan, with his right hand inside his shirt and gripping tightly the handle of the captain’s pistol. When later he took the girl'something to eat, she pressed him harder with ques- tions than she had done before. “How did you get here?” she asked. He explained briefly. She opened her eyes wide. . “That was brave !" she cried; and then spoiled it by adding, “And you are such a little fellow, too.” - He flushed darkly. “I can takeoare of myself," he said, “and I am older than I look. I'm sixteen, nearly seventeen.” She was surprised. but still bent, it : seemed, on teasing him. “That’s not so very old, tho, is it?" she asked. ‘ “it’s as old as you are, Miss," he snapped; “and sixteen's grown for the back country." - , She took that in silence, and when she did speak again, it was‘ln a'ver'y small and differential voice. She asked about their chanCe of getting away. » Duncan heard that in gloomy silence. Escape? He had pondered over that word as he slept and as he woke. He felt tied to this girl, whom he hardly knew, by bands too strong to break. » The very thought of another man touching her 'made him wince as if he had beep struck himself. He had been drawn to her first by that obscure alchemy that" works in the blood at his age. and perhaps earlier in times and places where men are made ’ . from boys in shorter time than regula- ' tion. His hasty resolution, when the camp was attacked, had made «her the ' subject of a vow din which hlshwhole be- .ing wasnwrappfl ‘ ad menu‘ij w ‘ Miss a” a, fine buck before he swent back to the cabin, and to win that fanciful wager he had gone for miles thru brush and hills, on short rations, and sleeping on a single blanket on the ground. In such a way, but even more strongly, he had'commit- ted himself to getting this girl away from the gang. It was to be for him sort of a supreme, test of his skill and courage. ' The final proof of his absorption’in the girl had come-when he admitted his age. For her he had, been willing to abandon the pose that had earned him amusement, and 'in this case safety. So far as his inner life was concerned, he had done more. He had made her, by that act of confession, flesh of his flesh,’ and bone of his bone. She was part of him, and there could be no secrets between them. He had gone into the matter lightly enough; now it seemed different. His new consciousness of the girl made him some- how more vulnerable. He saw clearly the dangers of the proximity of a. dozen idle men of uncertain virtue. Homer might be loyal to the captain. He was certain that Romkey, the man with the bandaged arm and battered nose, was not. "Soon," he declared, and tried hard to [make his voice cheerful. "I’ll warn you in time. Keep up your courage." . Three _ days passed slowly. Duncan picked up a. good deal of information about the habits of the gang. The brand- ~ed ‘man and. one or two others worked up north on the road and brought news of trains worth robbing. They left the ‘iittle towns on the road alone, and did not bother even lonely farms. People in the valley might disregard the reports of robberies on passing trains, but they Zwould be up in arms if the residents were attacked. Some day, Duncan was told, when the gang decided to move to new fields, they would make a clean sweep of the hamlets and farms and then be-gone‘ for good before the settlers could re— taliate. _ - Nothing seemed to offer a chance of escape. He could only watch and hope. He did notice that Romkey was forever passing among the men, his tongue going steadily. He stopped when the boy was near, and Duncan dared not show too much curiosity. Homer paid no attention to him. He sat on a stump, smoked a pipe, and stroked his beard with heavy fingers on which black hair bristled. He changed sentries on the trail every four hours: for the rest he hardly moved. Thenextnl‘ght. as. before, Duncan lay on the edge of the woods. Nothing stirred. He got up drowslly in the morning, helped with the breakfast and the chores, and went to sleep again. As he dished out the rations at noon, he noticed that Hor- ner was missing. "Out skirmishing for acme meat," one man explained. Along about two o’clock, several of the men showed uneasiness. They began to look up the trail with a. worried air. Two went over to Romkey and spoke to him. , "George, you run up the trail and tell those boys to come in," Romkey ordered. “No sense in posting guards oi! there anyway." - A' man-started up the trail. The others seemed uncertain. ' v - ' ‘WVhat’ll Homer say? someone asked. "What’ll the captain say?” This in a. tone more anxious. _. ,. Romkey swelled; like , e. turkey-cock. "What do we care?" he _roared. “Wé’ve took ‘too many orders." Them two ain't any better than us." . ~ Some apparently were not so sure. Rom- key convinced them. by dragging out a. keg of whisky from the captain’s cabin and serving it out. He grew steadily more, popular as the whisky took effect. Finally one man mounted the keg. ,"Let’s' elect a new captain," he ereid. "The old one's as bad as n. confounded naval officer. Romkey's the man for us.” They cheered him and voted aye for Romkey. Duncan noted that the man’s arm was out of the sling and apparently as well as ever. \ Supper time came. The cook was active in the convival circle around Romkey and the keg. Duncan busied himself with the cooking, and came presently to bid them help themselves from’the kettle. Some came over a bit unsteadily. Some stayed by‘the keg. ' For Romkey, ‘ Duncan scooped the choicest, meat out of the. stew and handedvit to him on a clean trencher. . “Boyfihfiseld -£omkey,v ‘fcome here !" ‘ u.

A personal reply wlll be sent to you w 4 Explain absolution from sin\as - found in John 20:23. ‘ HE Gospel absolves from sin upon its own: terms. The John context relates how Jesus vis- its His disciples after His resurrec— tion and empowers them for their apostolic work through the Holy Spirit. He then commits them to the serviée of declaring to the world the Gospel that belief in Jesus Christ is salvation from sin. See also Mat- thew 16:18-19. The church’s power in relation to the forgiveness of sin is.declarative rather than absolute. The individual is assured that con- fesson of and loyalty to Christ will - remit sins and give spiritual power. Acts 2:38. Absolution from sin comes from God and not from any minister or priest. Church laws or creeds have no. remitting power. This is a solemn transaction be- tween the forgiven and the Forgiver. The individual confesses faith in God through Christ, and God trusts the individual. This covenant brings soul harmony. “Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1. t i What is the state of the dead? By that I mean, when we lose some very near and very dear relatives, should we think of them as soul and body sleeping until the judgment day or the spirit departing for the better land? These questions take us to the realm of the unseen from which comes no answer in terms of sense orof scientific proof. Any satisfac- tory opinion must be of a faith- charscter. “Faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen." The reverent bur- ial that this Christian age gives the dead involves faith in a completer life beyond the grave. The essence- of this belief is found in the teaching of Jesus. Faith loves to base opin- ion upon this evidence. 1. The dead live on and in a per- fectly conscious state, as in the cases of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Mark 12:26-27. The real personality, or the soul, which is separated from the material body at death, lives eternally because all essential life is in the soul, which is sustained alone by its Giver. Luke 12:4. 2. The teaching of Luke 16:19-31 and 23:43 indicates a direct transi- tion at death' into .the final state. Comparing this with what Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:8 and Philippians 1:23, we may reasonably believe there is no intermediate state during which a soul‘sleeps or is delayed in reaching its highest hopes or its deepest miseries. This is borne out by the whole Gospel of John. Here, divine life is a present possession but continues on notwithstanding physical death. Death, to John, is only a passing incident in the life- cycle. It is just'a natural event to indicate one has taken one’s place in another realm. “He who believes in Me will live, even if he dies." John 11:26. Paul, in his argumentVin I First Corinthians and fifteenth chapter, calls ,this a .resurrection from the natural body which is cor- “wt. to the spiritual body which is incorrupt. After death, the soul Will take 011 a bOdY which is adapted to the conditions of the higher realm. _It will not be flesh and blood, 1 Cor- inthians 15:50; but its new fashion 7 is hinted at in Philippians 3:20-21. 3. It is important to know that the way We live before death deter- mines the portion of the soul after, .‘death. In thissense, a Judgment takes place at death, which assigns the soul to a state of bliss or one of _ remorse. Luke 16:19-31 and 12: « 16—21.” H A , ,. » 4.; Therefore, such c o n s o l in g. 701118. as John, 14:273. and 17:24 apply to.-'all good spirits, who at ’death.‘ ' (tier 19414.? ngg ; Christ which is a state described in Philippians 1:23 as being “very far better” than the present life. i i What if a Christian falls into sin? This phase of the sin question is plainly handled by St. John in his first epistle. 3:9 declares that it is impossible for a Christian to live in sin. See also Romans 6:2.‘ This means that the child of God does not :8 want to, does not intend to, and does _ not willfully sin. But sin inclina- tions lead to unintentional mistakes and temporary defilements. This is unconscious sinning, and when ,known must he confessed. 1 John 1:8-9. t O . Was Jesus baptized by immersion and was this mode continued by ear- ly church? Regarding the mode which John used in baptizing Jesus, there is no - literal “‘thus saith? the‘ flora." How- ever there are inferences so strong in favor of immersion that they are reasonably tantamount to direct evi- dence. Let. us put them down some- thing like the following: 1. The proselyte baptism of the Jews is generally believed to be im- mersion. 2. One would naturally conclude that immersion was used by John since he chose the Jordan river “be- cause there was much water there.” John 3:23. 3. That immersion was continued as the form of baptism of the early church, seems fairly indicated by the symbolism of the New Testament. Compare the following: A birth, John 3:8;a burial, Romans 6:4; a resurrection as in Romans 6:5. # . t . Is water baptism a saving] or- dinance? Water baptism is one’s pledge of faith, Mark 16:16; of repentance and confession, Mark 1:4-5; and in general, of Christian discipleship, Matt. 28:19. But, like all sacra- ments or religious rites, it has no inherent power to save. It cannot beget life. It lacks regenerative energy. Let us not forget that which is vital. Water baptism but sym- bolizes that which is real in spiritual cleasing, in a rebirth of the soul into the new realm of Christian/as- pirations and service. This. spiritual ,well as the Old. ._ ‘1 baptism‘is the thing that matters. John 3:5-6: Acts'1:8; Mark 1:8. . In the attempt of the early Jewish Christians to tack the old to the new by insisting that circumcision was necessary to Godliness, an eternal law as follows: “ or. neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” This principle declares that all ex- ternal rites are nothing as compared with the essential of a new nature. And rites of the New Testament as Ordinances may have a place as sense helps to spirit- ual reality, but in saving essence, they are nothing. Salvation depends upon quite another class of circum- stances, which may or may not be present at baptism. Baptism in water is no substitute for nor guar- antee of a spiritual baptism. It is I the latter baptism which makes one a Christian, and is therefore indis- pensable. To remember this posi- tive principle is to keep all forms or lack of forms in proper relation in the Christian system. Baptism or no baptism, both alike are ineffec- tual. Spiritual union with Christ is essential salvation. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD: I shall not want.

HE Bay City Times—Tribune takes us to task editorially for suggesting that agriculture is apparently passing at the Michigan State College. We are worrying over a small matter. in their estimation,~sort of makingm mountain out of a mole hill, so to speak. Taking the view- point of the uninformed man, born and bred in the city, they seem to feel that agriculture is re- ceiving all the attention it deserves at the Col- lege that was originally founded for the good of the farming industry of our fair State. They can not see why M. S. 0. should be purely an agricultural institution, “as it offered other courses such as forestry, home economics and engineering." We would ask them if they do not think these subjects are affiliated with the busi- ness of farming and can be included under the head of agriculture. Their picture of a. farmer appears to be one that was discarded many years ago. Perhaps it would do their 'editorial- writer a world of good if he would take a trip into the country some day and get acquainted with at least a few of the business farmers and see how they carry on their farming operations. After that, no doubt, they would see their way clear to give a little space to something that would encourage a better relationship between the city man and the farmer so they will understand each others’ problems. They state that we point to the "crowded con- dition of the campus as evidence of discrimination against agriculture,” and suggest that this con- :dition should show just the opposite sentiment. We ask them to again read our editorial. We. said nothing about a “crowded campus” but did suggest that the space devoted to departments directly concerning agriculture was cramped. Visit the agricultural building and judge for your- self. In our estimation the campus is not'crowd-' ed, it is the strictly agricultural departments. Agriculture is the backbone of the nation and” we feel sure that even our city newspaper friends will‘huve to admitdt if they investigate a little. Could :we get along without our backbone? Some peopleeupparont’ly‘ do not have" any but if nature _ failed to proxido them with one we think they ould experience considerable difficulty in " its enemies, but the fact uri- culture is not receiving; ,the-gattention It should at ourMiChigan Statei'collego. ' oussnva msoussmo m has been a hard fall on-jho We. in Michigan. For several weeks we have been receiving letters about the bird; most 0: then ' condemning it as a destroyer of the turmeric crops but a few claiming that the insects and weed seeds he eats pays for the damage he does. and we have published as many as we could spars space for. Now, as this is written, the, open season is on and hunters are doing their best to reduce the pheasant population of our State. Sportsmen defend the bird by quoting its value ‘ as an insect and pest destroyer while farmers attempt to show through actual experiences the losses caused to them. Most statements given out by scientists have favored the sportsmen but now the farmers seem to have a friend in M. D. Pirnie, of the New York State College of Agricul- ture. who has made a study of the eating habits of the pheasant and found that it is a source'ot real loss to farmers as it eats ripe tomatoes, corn on the ear, grain and other crops. As awresult. of his study the legislature in that state will be asked to increase the number of pheasants which any one hunter can bag during one season. We think our own lawmakers in their next - session at Lansing could use some time to a very good advantage by working out some legislation along this line for Michigan. In addition to 'sub— stantially increasing the number that can be killed in a. season it might be a good idea to make the season longer. Let’s have your ideas on this. CORN BORER FOR FISH BAIT ONE of us are so bad that there isn’t some good in us. Even the European COrn Borer about which we have heard and said so much within recent years can be included, thanks to the discovery of Prof. C. W. Dibble of the expert. ‘ ment station near Monroe. Recently Prof. Dibble and some friends were on a fishing trip and ran out of bait. To be fishing and run out of bait, is an extremely unpleasant thing to do and most of ,us would have reeled in our line and returned home disgusted with the world in general, but not Prof. Dibble. He tookthe bait box, climbed a fence and invaded a corn field were he began to look for corn borers. He found plenty of them which he placed in the bait box and in a short time he had it full. Returning to the river he put a nice fat borer on his book and casting it into the water he sat back to await results. Not long did he have to wait before there was a tug on his line—he had a bite—and within a few seconds a nice perch laid on the bank beside him. And, we are told, this was the first of a nice string of perch which Prof. Dibble curried home that day, all of them caught with corn borer bait. Now when the wife criticizes you for taking time off to go fishing you can assume an injured attitude and inform her that you were merely helping the government with its corn borer eradio cation campaign, and if you catch anything, you can add you were also providing the family with a change of diet. PROTECTING BEARS IL 1925 it was lawful to hunt black bear l ] at any time in Michigan but that year our legislature adopted a measure protecting it except during fifteen days in November each year. Farmers began to report damage and loss of sheep from the raids of hours so our 1927 legislature passed a law providing for compensa- tion for damage to property. During the first three months this law was in force the State paid out 32,297. By the end of twelve months the total paid out will be more than four times this amount. Is the preservation of the black bear worth what it is costing us? We do not think so. AN 9m HORSE WITH a NEW DRIVER ” ov. GREEN asked for and received the resig- nation of Leigh J.

They advise they 'fnrnish all materials, buttons, trimmings, and instructions on how to do. the required work on the aprons which: are already cut out. Also they advise they show the work- er how to get started in the money- making business. Just send $1.50, no more, and the first apron with all the necessary trimmings and in- structions will come in the next mail. Then you are on the high road to success. ‘ ' A ‘Lapeer county subscriber sent the dollar and a half and ‘got an apron made of common percale, . which she says usually sells ready made for about 75¢. If she wanted to do the highly profitable work they told about she was to purchase more material from them at wholesale prices, make the aprons and then go from house to house in" nearby towns selling them. After the worker made three dozen apron-s they would refund the $1.50 paid, according to their literature. If any of our folks were. “taken in" with this proposi- tion we wish they would write and tell us it they got their money back . after making up the stated number. We are wondering just how many of the original deposits have been re- turned. If any of the women folks who; read this page are interested in mak- ..ing aprons and selling them they will find it far more profitable to pur- chase good materials in a nearby town and cut the aprons to the latest styles. However, we doubt if they will make much at the work consid- ering the time spent. .

After thieves have been apprehended we must be notified be- fore the trial takes place, if possible. As an incentive to get out and get the thieves our ofier of rewards has done considerable. Ofiicers are more alive to the situation, not because of the reward they may receive but because they have come to more fully appreciate how serious the rural thievery problem is, due to our . active campaign. _ With rare excep»- tion, they are willing and anxious to cooperate and some of them have been instrumental in having rewards offered by their own counties.

If your life is a “mess,” isn’t what you’d like it to be, who’s to blame? Your husband, wife or family? ‘ Partially, perhaps, but nine times out of ten it is a fifty-fifty proposition; we ourselves are usually as much at fault for our unhappiness and discontent as anyone else. Few of us, when all’s said and done, have the gift of seeing ourselves and Our actions as they appear to the folks around us.

Come right in! Sit down in that rock— er. You won’t mind if I keep on ironing these curtains, will you? You see, it’s only a. couple more weeks ’til Thanksgiving, and Larry and his new wife and Mildred and her beau are going to be here, and I want everything to be spic and span. “Have I planned my dinner? Well, I should say! Ever since I knew they were goin' to come, I haven’t been doin’ anything but lookin’ through all my cook books and mag- azines tryin’ to find new and tasty ways to serve the old Thanksgiving standbys, and I’ve hit on a few that I think’ll be good. Want to hear about ’em? “Well, of course, the table will have to be stretched to the very limit, and I thought I’d lay long strips of orange crepe paper cross- wise and lengthwise in a sort of checkerboard pattern over my best white cloth. Then I’m going to hol- low out a big pumpkin and full it full of apples, oranges, and bananas, and so on for the center, and I’m goin’ to put some candles in those glass candle holders I got at the ten- cent store this summer for both ends of the table. Won’t that be pretty? It sort of gives folks an appetite, I’ve noticed, when the table looks nice. ' “As for the dinner itself, you’d be surprised how swell I’m aiming to be. I’m even goin’ so far as to serve canteloupe to begin with. Did you ever notice that ordinary melons cut in quarters look like little boats? Well, they look more like it when you stick spoons in the middle of ’em for masts and put the handles through squares of white paper for sales. I thought I’d go the limit and write everyone’s name on the sail where they're supposed to sit. Land 0’ Love, I never sposed I’d be guilty of usin' place cards! But it’ll give the folks a treat. Then after we’re done eatin"the melons, Ruth can ner. And Pa’ll have to serve no mat- ter how bad he hates it. However, I think I’ll cut7up the turkey out in the kitchen before bringin’ it on, ’cause if we waited till he got done carvin’ it everything’d be cold and we’d die of starvation. ‘ *‘I’ve got a gobbler out in the barnyard that I’ve been fat-toning to roast? this'l‘ong time. Instead qf havin' just plain, dressin’ though, I think I’ll put in a. few raisins and nuts for variety. Mashed potatoes 1’ go better with turkey gravy than any other kind, ,don’tyou think? . Yes, and for. salad Ruth’s goin’ to stuff some celery-stalks with cream cheese moistened with a little, cream (1 : enimkled with; paprika, help me carry out the plates and, bring in the main part of the din-- all?!“ ‘ cranberries, of course, but in place of makin’ sauce of ’em, I thought I’d make jelly this time. And I’m goin’ to mash the baked squash, ’cause if I leave it in the shell it’ll be too awkward. I want to get a’hold of some sweet cider somewhere to serve with the meal in those tall glasses you gave me last Christmas, and no— body’s going to get any coffee ’til after Ruth and I takeaway the din- ner plates and bring in the pumpkin pie and cheese. - ' “And, right at the very end, Ruth wants to serve mints and- nuts, even if they aren’t any more than these ' big Jumbo peanuts, so I guess, if we can get some mints at the drug- store next time we’re in town, we’ll do that, too—Adele M.

There are certain outstanding principles of food combination that should be considered in meal planning. Food has three obliga- tions to meet—first, it must satisfy the bodily needs; second, it must appeal to the taste; third it must attract the eye. The first requisite is the most important one but the second and the third requisites often determine to a. very large. degree whether or not the first requisite is met. The following are a. few points to be con- sidered in determining which foods should be combined in the menu: Two foods of the same composition should not be used in the same meal.’ Example, two starchy foods as potato and macaroni or two pro- tein foods "as beef and cheese. It is better not to repeat a flavor in- the same meal, as tomato soup served at the beginning of the meal and then tomato sauce served with the meat. Highly seasoned food should be used cautiously as they tend to v . encourage over. eating. . Use pickles and relishes in moderation, serving only one kind at the same meal» Balance the main part of themeal and the dessert. ' When the main part of the meal is hea.vy,_use a, light dessert "as fruit; or if the main part of the ,meal is. light. balance it with ' a heavy dessert as a, steamed pudding. - . , . ’6 Introduce . 69101! in .nfllefllfi mn- appm? to th ' \Vanted.——Will you ' v Quint- o: . color but notxfto give: 9 include a foodvjwhich reg quires ‘che i’ng,» making the meal more interesting; than if all soft foods were used and at the- samel time giving the needed‘bulk. The simplest meals are often - “the most satisfactory. When several dishes are served at one meal it, is more difficult to obtain a variety over a. month of meals. If the meals are planned for three days ahead, it is easier to obtain the needed .variety and to serve the foods which are most essential to health.“ ' ' F avorite‘ Songs- SILVER THREADS: AMONG THE GOLD Darling, I amj’growing old, Silver threads among the gold Shine upon 'my brow today.

Also its nose seemed to be bleeding slightly. As the horse al- ways shook- his head some we did not pay ‘very much attention, but he The horse on the left is the one that had a mouse up its nostril.‘ The young folks are Otto. Laura. and Freida Buck- hage, of Bay county. kept shaking it harder and harder until about 11 o’clock he began to blow his nose real hard. Finally Otto and one of my daughters, Lau- ra, walked around in front of the team to watch this horse, and just then he blew it extra hard blowing out a large clot of blood followed by a mouse. As the mouse fell to the ground Otto killed it. After that the horse stopped blowing his nose and there was no more blood that came from it.——Carl Burckhage, Bay GO. TO HAVE “BETTER BULLS” CAMPAIGN NEW way of calling the atten- tion of dairymen to the need for better herd sires is to be tried out in Macomb and St. Clair coun- ties. Extension forces in these coun— ties, headed by the agricultural agents, with the cooperation of dairy specialists from the Michigan State College will stage a series of “barn— yard meets” during the week of No- vember 14th. Schedule of these gatherings will be published locally. At each meet the subject will be “Selection of a Herd Sire.” Following the campaign a few good bulls approved by the extension specialists will be offered at public auction. The Armada Fair Grounds, in Macomb county, just south of the St. Clair county line, has-been se- cured for the sale place. The date set is Tuesday, November 22nd. Bulls of the major breeds will be offered. —J. G. Hayes. ONE PROVEN SIRE OUT OF 25 ACTIVE NFORMATION returned by the Bureau of Dairying, Washington, 0., indicates that only one proven sire out of twenty-five is ac- tively in service in Michigan dairy herds. Further information from this same source states that “there are 468 sires which has five or more daughters that have “records which exceed those made by the dams. These 468 bulls have from one to four daughters which have been com- pared with the dams but have not the required number to be listed as proven bulls.-——A. C. 'B.

"MOULTING I I have a nice flock of White Rock .hens and, pullets and many of them moulted in August. Is that a good sign of winter layers or not?

IRDS moulting in August are usually considered early moult- ers and are not as desirable from a. production standpoint as birds moulting in October and’No- vember. An early moult may be caused by a change in feeding prac‘ tice, improper management or be- cause of poor production—C. G. Card, Professor of Poultry Hus- bandry, M. S. C. . _ STRAW LOFTS HELP KEEP CHICKENS WARM STRAW loft in the poultry house is a great aid in .keeping , the chickens warm in winter. This feature is especially desirable in the high poultry house, for it re- duces the room above the heads of. the birds that they must try to heat. In the gable-roof house, boards may be placed across the plates and from eighteen inches to two feet deep. In the shed-roof house the straw loft may be made in two dif- ferent ways. If the poultry house is six feet to the rear plates, there is too much head room in the house. The straw loft is made level with the rear plates. Corn stalks or hay may be used in place of straw if the straw is not on hand. The straw loft may be left in from one season to the next. It acts as an insulating material and makes the building material warmer in winter and cooler in summer. GROWING PEPPERMINT (Continued from Page 4) and moisture contained in the leaves to the top of the tank and out, through another pipe into a set of. coiled pipes over which cold water is dripping. This cools the mint— moisture laden steam and by the time it reaches the mouth of the coil of pipe it is a liquid. This runs into a receptacle, and the water being heavier settles to the bottom leav- ing the oil on top. This is drawn OE and run into cans and is ready for sale to the dealer. This oil is again refined before being put on the mar- ket. The mint straw is dried out and placed in the barn or in stack and used for feed during the winter months. The average yield of mint oil in Michigan is less than fifteen pounds, but thirty pounds is a common yield from a new bed of mint. Some have obtained a yield above fifty pounds on the most productive mint soil. With care a mint bed may be re- tained for three or four years with profit, but the yield the second and third years gets gradually less. It has been estimated that about ten— thousand acres of mint is grown in Michigan. Indiana exceeds Michi- gan in amount produced annually, but the Michigan oil is thought by some to be of a superior grade. The price has been rather high the past three years and the acreage is much larger now than it was five years ago, and in all likelihood the price will continue downward rather than upward. Mint oil, unlike potatoes, beans, and most other farm crops, can be set away and held for many, years without a loss in quantity or quality.

Costs Nothing to Try A letter from Miss Dama .Wright, Veroma, 0re., has a real idea for chicken ralsers who are not getting plenty of eggs. She says: “Late in October, our 15 hens were not laying at all. I started giving them Don Sung, and for ten days they still didn’t lay. But on the eleventh day they laid 13 eggs, and it is wonderful what Don Sung has done for our egg basket.” .

The tablets can be obtained from the Burrell-Dugger Co., 255 Postal Station B1dg., Indianapolis, Ind.

Don Sung is positively guaranteed to do the work or money promptly refunded, so it costs nothing to try.

F your pear tree is an undesirable I variety then it will undoubtedly pay to graft it. Graft the more important branches. Two scions to a branch. Graft about half of the tree one year-and the other half next year. Do not be in a hurry to cut off the old branches below the grafts. These are. needed to bring up the sap and keep the tree in condition, but as the scions grow larger and make a new top the old branches can gradually be removed. If your apple trees are extremely far apart and do not occupy the ground fully enough to utilize the ground, \then your alfalfa treatment will be 0. K. Otherwise it is not good policy to make hay in a bearing apple orchards . 'If you find that over alterm 0 years the W'ealthies have been un— profitable under your conditions, and that other varities‘have been profit- able, then by all means graft the Wealthies now while they are young. .

Act at once! Readers who find colds or roup starting in their flocks will be inter- ested in a letter written by Thomas Pulliam, Shiveley, Ky. He says: "I have had birds with their eyes closed and every form of roup, and saved every one of them. Last winter I had a Barred Rock oockerel- that was nearly dead. He had dropped from 71,43 to 2% pounds. I gave him magic. In two weeks, he was back on the firing line and fighting every rooster on the place. I can’t understand why people let their birds die with roup, when Roup- Over will save them." i It is amazing how quickly and easily colds and roup can be ended by this meth- od. It the trouble is already started, a few drops of Roup-Over, applied -to the nostrils, will usually banish every symp- tom in one day. Better still, a few drops used in the drinking water guards the whole flock against roup, colds, and other epidemics. A liberal supply of Roup-Over can be obtained by sending fifty cents (or $1 for large size holding 3 times as much) to The Burrell-Dugger Co., 543 Postal Station Bldg, Indianapolis, Ind.

VERAGE profitslof middle west- ernfarmers this year are turn- ing out better than wast: first I expected. and far western farmers will set down 1927 as a highly pros-' perous year, with a large crop of corn and unexpectably high prices for cattle on farm and range, while both in the middle and far west the sheep industry flourished despite the prevailing tendency, of overloading the markets and thereby allowing the packers to hold prices down too, frequently. Hogs unlike cattle, had a great many ups and downs, and while on the whole stockmen made the industry pay, many at times of declining prices dumped their pigs on the market. As for the future of cattle, hogs and sheep, it may be said that popular sentiment favors carrying normal numbers the coming winter, there being quite a shortage. but it should be remembered that if beef or other meats sell extremely high, their consumption is checked. The farmers have grown large crops of grain, with an especially fine crop of wheat, while the corn harvest is going to greatly exceed early ex- pectations, due to plenty of warm weather late in the season when most essential for ripening. The unpleas- ant feature to grain farmers is, of course, the great fall in prices for grains from the summer peaks, and farmers can hardly fail to see the need of converting corn into beef, pork, lard and mutton to obtain fair profits. Within a short time the several grains have sold at the low- est point since July, 1924. It is im- possible to forecast at this time the future, but large marketing of grain tends to put prices lower. This is a good year for gardens, and farm- ers are largely feeding their fami- lies with vegetables, fruits and ber- ries of their oWn growing. The Grain Markets Farmers of this country appear to have raised almost too much wheat and other grains this year, and as foreign countries report good crops of wheat, our exports of wheat and flour may not be sufficient to absorb our surplus supply. It seems to be clear that the best policy is to curtail the future wheat acreage moderately, but» we are unable to forecast the future, and the best policy is to divide up the land be- tween wheat and other farm crops. Late prices show a great decline in prices for wheat since the high time in the summer. and all the grains have sold at the lowast prices of the season, owing to large selling by holders. A short time ago Decem- ber wheat sold at $1.23, against $1.43 a year ago. while December corn sold at 83 cents, only a few cents higher than last year. Decem- ber oats at 47 cents stood slightly higher than a year ago, and De- cember rye at 98 cents was a trifle lower. Favorable weather has help- ed field work in the corn belt, and cutting and hacking are going on. A short time ago Chicago received the first car of new corn shipped from Oklahoma. The Room in Cattle The late‘ boom landed prime beef steers at $17.75, the highest price paid in the Chicago stock yards since 1920. All kinds of cattle are unus- ually high, with a market shortage in feeding districts, but the range of prices has been narrowing, with late sales of ordinary and medium kinds at lower values. Butcher and can- ner cattle have gone ofl sharply, but all kinds of cattle remain far higher than in other years. Steers have been selling at $9.75 to $17.75. very largely at $11.50 to $16.25, with the best yearlings at $17.50. Steers sold a week earlier at $9.50 to $17.35, a year ago, at $7.25 to $12.40 and two years ago at $6.50 to $16. Stockers and feeders are in active demand at $6 to $11.50, the _ call being chiefly for well bred-lots ~:-,~’at $9 to $10. For theyear” t‘ovllata “date only 7,888,000 cattle . asked “ seven western packing 1 against 9,458,000 a year ago. , Hogs Marketed Freely Farmers have been marketing their hogs in a reckless way, evi- dently having little faith in the fu- ture, and prices have suffered so» verely,. late sales in Chicago taking place. at a' range of“ $7135" to $10.23, comparing «with $9 to 311.75 a week earlier; $10 to $13.50 a year ago and $8.85 to $11.30 two years. ago. For the year to late date the receipts in seven western packing pomts aggregate 18,514,000 hogs, comparing with 18,204,000 a year ago; 20,027,000 two years ago and 25,540,000 four years ago, sums of great abundance. Heavy hogs sell much the highest, the best light go- ing at $9.75. A omen AT THE MARKETS (Market News Service, U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics.) RUIT and vegetable shipments have passed the crest for the year. with market dull and few price changes during the past week. The wheat market'was sharply low- cents "above a year ago. Light re- ceipts add to the firmness of the markets. ' ' . Declines of 5 to 15 cents per 100 pounds occurred at various potato shipping pointslast’ week. Terminal markets were unsettled. Chicago and Kansas City priCes were decidedly lower. Digging is about completed in Idaho and other northern states. The Michigan crop is turning cut lighter than in any of the last ten years. Eggs and Poultry Egg markets are steady to firm, with storage holdings being reduced rapidly. There has been some in- crease in production, as indicated by heavier receipts at the larger markets. Dressed _ poultry receipts are fairly heavy, but about the same as in 1926. A recent survey indi- cates a turkey crop about 5 per cent below a year ago, with the general condition of birds reported as fair to good. Hay There was a slight firmness in the hay markets, and prices made a frac- tional advance at many markets eaSt of the Rockies. Rain had restricted country offerings and with farmers busy with fall work, dealers expect- ed a rather light movement in the immediate future. Good pastures, MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO DAILY HE Michigan Business Farmer was first to broadcast farm market reports in Michigan (January 4, 1926). Market reports and farm news are now available as follows: WGHP (819.3 meters), 3:05 to 7:00 P. M.: WKAR (286), 12:00 M.; WWJ (852.7). 5:45 P. M.; WCX-WJR (440.9), 4:15 P. M.——Editor. er, and corn prices also weakened. Butter markets were somewhat un- settled, but cheese prices were well maintained, and egg markets steady to firm. Dressed poultry «prices are a little below those of a year ago. Spectacular advances were reported in fed cattle values, and sharp de- clines in the hog market. The Bos- ton wool market showed a stronger tendency. Butter and Cheese Butter markets have been a. little nervous and unsettled. Prices have fluctuated in both directions, al- though the net result has been no material change. Fresh receipts were light, and this turned away buyers to storage goods. Cheese prices at the Wisconsin 'cheese mar- kets have shown little change during the last week or two, but are several however, are restricting demand'in many areas. Wheat The wheat market tended sharply downward, influenced principally by large receipts of spring wheat in the Canadian markets, and a continued heavy movement in the American Northwest. Generally“ favorable weather in the 'United States and canada brought out heavy shipments of spring wheat, receipts at Canadian points being much the largest for the season. Other Grains Weather favorable for maturing the late corn crop brought out larger receipts of old crop corn. Prices weakened. Oats declined influenced by the weakness in corn, but rye and barley were independently firm with THE BUSINESS FARMER’S MARKET SUMMARY and Comparison mm'rwo Weeks Agra-d OneYeaggAgo .— .7 Benoit Mo Detroit Deuce: 0a. 31 Oct. 31 Oct. 18 4 a mango ngiTB-‘e, $1.37 - $1.00 31.43 No. a White 138 1.38 1,44 No. I Hired 1'35 _" . 137 1.42 conu— ‘ No. 2 Yellow ~92 .8435 .06 so No' 3 a” .82@.w .94 .79 N , 0113;; $33. ‘ ~54 .50 .51 .55 .523 .

Private cable reports Vindicator! Wi- strength in foreign primary markets. Do not sell your beans under $5.00 per. hundred pounds is the advice of the Michigan boon committee which was appointed by State Commission- er of Agriculture H. E. Powell, and they give the following reasons: The crop of all beans in U. 8. is about average; Michigan will have ~drop of excellent quality and lowest in quan- tity since 1922 so there will be no carry-over ; wholesale grocers » , stacks are low, and they should be heavy buyers; California growers are held- ing for higher prices and Colorado growers are pooling their beans; steps are being taken to secure high— er tariff; careful buyers .will want ‘ Michigan crop because of quality; committee is now corresponding with other states to secure their support ‘ to hold prices up. Not only does Commissioner Pow- ell favor this plan but it is heartily endorsed by Governor Green and N. P. Hull of the Michigan State Bank- ers Association.
