The exhibition of machinery and

is an old one it seems ever new, said
Prof. W. 0. Button in his talk on
spray materials. Week concentra-
tions of fungicides have aften been
"used by apple. growers, in the later
sprays, with the idea of improving
the final: of the fruit and lessening
foliage injury. This practice struck
a bump this year. in Prat. Dntten’s
experiments, and the bump was la-
beled SCAB. 'Acoording to Prof.

Prof. Gardner in his talk on "Cut-

and effective ways to control the cost
of spraying are by increasing the

efficiency of man and machine to get
on more tanks of spray per day. Here
are some 'average apple costs for

California, More Talks

Prof. Frederic T. Bioletti an emi-
nent authority from California gave
an astonishing lecture entitled
“Some Ancient Fallacies and Modern
Theories, and Their Bearing on Vit?
Prof. Bidet”
stated that the vigor of a. grape

- vine can not be increased‘by pruning.

;

It . is the removal of part of the
grapes, and not the removal of wood
which increases the strength and
bearing power of the. vine. Pruning
is therefore merely a method,'and a
faulty one, of thinning the crop.
Heavy pruning was said to diminish
the vigor of a grape vine in the same
manner as it dwarfs an apple tree. »
The ideal way to obtain good crops
on grapes without hurting the plants
would he to do little or no pruning
and thin the blossoms. This method
wasnidtohesonndiniheoryand
borne out by Prof: Bioletti's experi-
ments in California. To say that
these things are sensational. not to
say revolutionary, is putting it mild-

commercial practice remains to be
seen. , Prof. Bieletti says they can.

his interesting experiments on polli-
nation of the pear. Mr. Johnston’s
work was viewed by the growers dur—
ing the Society‘s last summer tour.
Many growers have planted Bartlett
and Seeks together to pollinate each
other. This was considered good
practice. not only by the growers,
but also by experiment station men.
Mr. Johnston’s experiments knocked.

lett will not nominate Seckel. These
two varieties are self sterile and in-
ter sterile, and must. be pollinated by
some other variety. Bosc was given
as a good companion for either.
Flemish beauty was the only really
self fortile variety found.

Prof. Bennett spoke on black rot

. of the grape and warned; the growers

against any let-up in‘the fight on
this . disease. .-
Fruit. Marketing Problems
Some of Michigan’s fruit market-
ing problems. were pointed out by Mr.
F. L. Granger, sales manager of the
Michigan Fruit Growers Inc. In. re-

cent years: the production of fresh 5 .
erable questions from growers in the

fruits and vegetables has increased
100% in the, U. 8., while the. popula-
tion has increased only 12%.
Granger made a. plea for more uni-
formity in grading and labeling. He
deplored unrestrained competition
between groups of growers, and ad—
vised the‘ elimination of those apple
varieties which “no consumer would
buy a second tinfe.” Mr.‘Grangcr,
also strongly advised closer cooper-
ation between fruit growers and city
business men. Said he, “It is high
time that western Michigan bankers
and business men take an active in-

terest in the betterment of the fruit ‘

industry." ,

Mr. C‘. J. Kirby spoke on the mod-
‘em method of certification of nurs-
ery stock, and Prof. F. C. Bradford

. showed. that any apple variety can be

successfully grafted on any other ap-
ple variety. Cases of “uncongenial-
ity" between apple varieties are
caused- by faulty grafting methods,
said Prof. Bradford.

Mr. A. J. Rogers of Beulah, ageing
gave one ethic ever interesting talks ,

on eficient management of the cherry
orchard. Mr. Rogers is considered
the best authority in the State on
this subject, and every cherry grower
should read his bulletin, “Studies in
Orchard Management With Special
Recrence to, Cherry Production,”
which is issued at M. S. 0.

That the new methods in canning
Kie'iler pea-rs are due to put new
life into the culture of that variety
was predicted by Mr. M. C. Hutchin-
son, a prominent Michigan canner.

Talks on melon growing were by
J. B. Edmund and A. B. Strand, and
on berry growing by B. W. Kieth.
Prof. C. W. Bennett, and Stanley
Johnston.

Dr. W. A. Ruth spoke on the effect
of drouth and excessive rain on apple
trees in heavy clay. Low drooping
branches were said to be 0: consider-
able, value to. conserving moisture be.-
cause they shaded the ground. Dyn-
amiting the holes for tree planting
in heavy clay ground was not ad-
vised because it. was said to form a
"jug." whose impervious sides the
apple roots could not penetrate.

Talks on Apple Growing

Thomas S. Smith who is one of
the mos-t successful apple growers in
the State and a190 a very prominent
apple dealer in Chicago, gave a short
address on apple growing and was
then kept on the platform by inn-mn—

audience. Mr; Smith does not use
spray guns but prefers the use of
bambo rods with nozzles. He also
uses dry lime—sulphur exclusively.
Some of the best varieties for Mich-
igan were said to be: Spy, McIntosh,
Johnathan, King, Greening, Baldwin,
and Delicious. The McIntosh, said
Mr. Smith, is destined to take the
place of Snow. The apple barrel was
called a poor package. The ideal
apple package or Michigan has not
yet been found, but the tub—type
bushel basket comes nearest to it,
said Mr. Smith. The western box
was considered as of doubtful value
in Michigan, but a bushel basket of
the tub-type with thicker, stifer
staves was suggested. Mr. Smith
strongly recommended the elimina-
tion of the commercial grade and ad-
vised its consignment to- the elder
barrel.

Among the resolutions passed by
the society was one addressed to
Governor Green asking that he: em-
power the State Department of Agri-
culture to aid Michigan fruit inter
ests in their 'fight against discrimina-
tory freight rates.

Oflicers elected for the coming
year were, President H. S. Newton.
Vice President Carl E. Bushkirk.
Secretary H. D. Hootmsn, Treasurer
J. P. Munson. members of the execu—
tive, board are R. L. Evarts, R. J.
Coryell, and Minard Farley.

It might be said here that the
hardest working man in the. Society
is the secretary, H. D. Hootman, and
much of the splendid success of the
meeting is due to his efforts.

Prize Winners

First prize winners in the apple
grading contest were Carlyle Eber.
A, Madison, and Miss Lillian Zech.

ing, Jennie Friday and 1). Friday.
Jr. 91 contestants took part in the

THEN winter comes there seems
to be a certain loneliness or
_ feeling cf solitude that comes
over one. Four years ago when this

feeling was hovering over the school ~~

district known as Mapleton, situated
near the center of the peninsula that
extends out into Grand TraverseIBay
and lying just north of Traverse
City, a group of school boys decided

to put an end to the monotonous.‘

drag of winter days, if poSsible.
Through the eifoIrts of ’their teacher
they organized a basket ball team.
Being new at the game it was hard
to schedule teams of the same cal-

ibro, and the few games that were" "

overshadowed the score.
Soon the basket ball fever. spread

to two other districts on. the pen-int '-

sula, namely Archie and OgdenSburg.‘
It was then that the rivalry started,
although at the beginning Mapleton
had a little the edge on the others,
due to their earlier start. For the
rest of the winter most of the games
were played between these three
teams.

’The first games were played in the
town hall, but the ceiling being too
low for long shots and the floor space
not large enough to avoid consider—_
able roughness, another place was
sought in Which'to hold the games.

Two More Teams

The next winter two more teams

were added, one being organized at

Old Mission and a second team at'

Mapleton, which made a total of five
teams. Games were exchanged back
and forth as during the first winter
but a few misunderstandings as to
the time of games and practice
showed the need of someone to be at

proposed; A meeting was called and"

Everything started off well the
next fall, although there was a
change in the teams. . Mapleton Ior-

gotten together at‘ Ogdensburg,‘ so
our league‘still" consisted of five

Play Saturday Night

We hold- our games eyery Satur-
day night. The games are played
and then refreshments are served.
These refreshments usually consist
of doughnuts, lunch cakes and coffee.
A small sum is.asked for the refresh-
ments so as to meet expenses. After
the" “eats” we dance. Someone in

’ the crowd plays the piano, and often-

times other musical instruments are

brought along to help out. .No charge

is made for the dancing and every-
one goes in for a good time. The
older folks who do not desire to

dance sit around and talk and watch

the dancers.

Our games are played in two com—

one at Archie. The alternate nights,

‘ larger Hall Needed

We are now looking forward to
the day when a. larger hall .'will be
erected, equipped with hot and cold
showers, a larger floor space for
playing, better accomodations for
spectators, a kitchen for the lunches,
and everything that goes with such
a building that people are proud to
show visitors. However, before such
a building is erected't'he community
spirit must be instilled in the hearts
of all so that they will be willing to
sacrifice something for it. The com-
munity spirit is a' Wonderful thing if
directed along the right course. ,. It
is surprising what can be accom-
plished by the whole community with
a little eifort and this spirit is what
the country needs. ,

Remember Home Community ,

Country folks can belong to clubs
and lodges in the city which is all
Ivery well and good, but they should
also remember their home commun—
ity and look out- for its welfare? .

This peninsula being a fruit coun-
try, there. is very little to hold the
boys at home during the Winter
'month‘s, except in a few cases Where
there are fine dairy herds, which are
increasing up here. With something
of interest in store for them the boys
are more liable to stay, and to have
the family together means a lot. Per-
haps if one “of the boys goes away
he will never come back, and even
if he does there may be a change
in him. ~ *

Why not do something for your
community? Make the winter months
seem worth while and by so doing
make America a better place to live
'in and yourself a better American.

Wins Sweepstakes in Rye

The so-called “Rye Kings of the
World, " George and Lewis Hutzler
of South Manitou Island, again took
away the coveted rye championship.
The competition in this class Was re-
markably keen, hoWever one of the
'judges Was heard to remark that
Hutzlers’ rye sample -was as far su-
perior to the sample that was placed
second as the second one was to the
twenty-fifth, er last award. It seems
that the winning of this sweepstakes
.on a sample of pure Ros’en rye has
became a fixed habit for the South
Manitou farmers. Michigan grow-
ers received five of the twenty—five
awards made in rye.

In the white winter wheat class

the growers from: this state took

11% out of five awards making a
second clean sweep, first going to
.F. L. Houghtofi of Alto, Michigan.
This feat. was .a duplication of the
'1926 show in which Michigan’ 3 high
quality pastry wheat won all five

. Cawards.

growers Won nearly. all of the money
was in the alfalfa: seed class for

GINSENG AND GOLDEN SEAL

Which would be the most profit-
able to raise, ginseng. or gold seal?
Which would be the least work? How
long does it take them to grow? ”And.
how would I go about it to raise
gold seal or ginseng? Would it be
better to buy the seed than roots?
-—N. I... Williamston, Mich.

‘8 between ginseng and golden
seal, the former is probably the
most profitable but also re-

quires much‘more work. A crop of
golden seal can be harvested within
two or three years from seed, but
ginseng requires six or seven years
from seed. This or course, means
that the capital outlay is greater for
ginseng. Both plants require the
same kind of soil; rich forest loam
of" neutral or slightly acid reaction.
They require shade and aretherefore
grown best under the partial shade
of a lathe house.

Full details as to the construction
of such a house, and the planting
and growing of these plants can be
obtained in Farmers' Bulletins on
ginseng and on golden seal, which

THE BUSY BEE HAS A LAZY '
STREAK .

HEN the honey bee gets busy in

an apple orchard it is not only

a busy bee; it is also a busy
booster But, strange to say. it has
a lazy streak.

That is the impression that a lie-

tener received who heard Don Hoot-
. man of M. S. C.
' address the sea-
son’s first meet-
ing of the Bar-
rien County Hor-
ticultural S o c i-
ety. The meeting
was held in the
Court House at
St. Joseph on
November so and
was in the nature
of a. preliminary
to the main go;
the “main go"
being the annual
meeting of the
State Horticultural Society in Ben-
ton Harbor.

Five minute speakers on various
subjects were Pres. M. P. Dwan, Geo.
Friday, Wm. Essllnger, Henry Bartz,
Bert Keith, Herbert Naiziger, P. F.

 

llorbert Nat-Icon

Schrejber, Prof. Smith of Emmanual
College and John Mosier.

The chief speaker, Mr. Hootman.
related a facinating story about a
certain Michigan apple orchard. It
was a story of man” s helplessness in
the face of nature’s laws; and man's
resourcefulness in overcoming an ob-
stacle by calling to his assistance a
wonderfully loyal ally, the honey bee.

This eleven acre orchard is a solid
block of thirty year old Northern
Spies, with an old home Orchard of
mixed varieties near one corner. The
Spies obstinately refused to bear a
full crop. One thousand bushels or
thereabouts seemed to be its limit.
For years the owner did "everything”
to make his trees deliver. He env-
riched the soil, he pruned, he sprayed
and prayed and sweat blood, all to no
avail. Finally he hit upon the idea
of bees for pollination. At last he
felt that he had found the Alladin's
Lamp that would make his wish come
true. The bees were placed in the
orchard. and hope ran high but the
results were negligible.

In desperation the grower visited
Mr. Hootman personally and asked
for his assisatnce in working out his
problem. Mr. Hootman and the own-
or went over the orchard and check:

Cleaning the buying House

Yesterday we cleaned the laying

house. This is a part of our pro-
gram, occuring about eyery tWO
weeks. It is no play spell for it

takes nearly all the forenoon to do
it and it could easily be called work.
But one experiences a lot of satis-
faction after it has been cleaned and
straw u foot deep has been placed
on the floor. Stop hero beside the
wall and remain still. See how those
Logborns enjoy digging out the
wheat from the bottom of the litter.

Sure it is. There is also a satisfac-

for a picnic is having a good time
which has all been planned before-

plans for a picnic. the more enjoy-

GAS TAX
EAR EDITOR: The article that
Mr. C. H. of Sturgis, Michigan,
wrote in the November 19th is-
sue of your paper, is not entirely
correct.

Every farmer should and will rec.

ceive the three cent gas tax reduc-

, tion for any gas used on the farm» for

tractors, etc., it he turns in his ap-
plication to the Secretary of State.
If Mr. C. H. would do that, he would
not kick so much about the graft.
Ithink it is the proper thing. It
makes a good many of them pay
toward good roads, while otherwise
they would not pay anything. ——Her-
man Meyer, Huron County.

“One Who Wonders Why" is a
very thinking man or he would
not be advocating more taxes when
one knows the country is taxed to

ABOUT 1‘. B. AND HORTON LAW
EAR EDITOR: Is the tuberculin
test in Michigan or elsewhere
really an absolute evidence of
disease? The following from the
Rural New-Yorker of November 12,
1927, gives rise to doubt: “‘It is
true that when tuberculosis is not
present in a cow' 8 system she may
reset from any one or a number of
pus diseases, such as diarrhoea.
lumpiaw and garget, the or anisms
of which are related to the ubercle
bacilla. This fact it has been thought
wise to withhold from dairymen.’
Such an astounding statement he-
comes more astounding when uttered
by Dr. A. ’V. Hall, a veterinarian ot
countrywide experience, both in test—
ing and as head of a veterinary col-
lege, where he came close to the
facts about tuberculin in a laboratory
of research along these lines. The

case, how about the dairyman with a
two-cow herd? -

BEIJEVEB IN GAS TAX
EAR EDITOR: I read in your
November 19th issue about a
protest against the three cent
gas tax written by C. H., so I will
give my view of the matter. Ohio
has no gas tax and when they wish
to build roads, the farmer whose
farm. lies along the road is taxed
extra to build it.
My grandmother livesin Ohio and
owns fifty acres of land. She paid an

who wear out the roads,
do not pay, at all.

I believe the gas tax is much bet»-
ter because it compels the automo-
bilists to pay as well as the farmers. -

RUBBER-TIRED BEAN FULLER
EAR EDITOR: I saw a bean
puller that had old 30x3 inch
tires on. The farmer took 1%
inch old rubber tires and wired
them together around the iron
wheel. It is done for this purpose.’
The iron Wheel will collect mud and

' some tails of! one side of wheel and

not the other so you see when he sets
hispuller just' right the mud would
raise it out of the ground more and
and ii the mud falls oil it pulls too
deep. So with the rubber tires on it
it stays the same all the time be-
cause mud will not stick to them.—--

' been Even Duncan 8 captor lowered
his film

“You; go quick, boy. "’ Langdon told him. ' E

"And get a big batch- this tim. " - :

Duncan stood still. Someone gave himV
a push. It was the man who had bet
that Langdon would live.

“Get along. "’ he gro'Wled.

Under the force of that push, the boy
staggered a few feet, took a few doubtful
steps, and finally spurted away in a flash.

He was not trying to run fast; all he
did was to take off the brakes: speed
came without willing it. After that hor-
rible disappointment when p the man
stopped him at the stables, Ducan thought
there must be a catch in that command
to leave. Even yet, as he ran, he listened
for a shot or a shout. Nothing came.

He was by 'the stable now and panting
up the slope toward the timber. At the
edge he looked back. Some of the men
were still staring at him' and laughing.
His frightened haste has amused them.
The others had turned back to watch
Langdon’s leg swell up.

Duncan went on more slowly. Had the
girl got here yet? He loked anxiously
from side to side. An incautious squirrel
came down a tree to chatter at him, but
he saw no other sign of life.

The grassy hollow where he had left
the horses was over a slight ridge. He
climbed this, and at the crest stumbled
onto a short natural lane that stretched
down to the hollow. At. the end of this
lane, he could see the switching tail and
hindquarters of a horse;'a tree hid the
rest.

Duncan went softly down the slope.
Now if the other horse were only nearby.
He slipped over to the right to see if
he could catch a glimpse of it.

There was the other horse, all right
enough, and between them, Agnes Sawyer,
with a hand on each bridle. Duncan
stopped and stared. Evidently she had
found the horses, she had taken off the
hobbies, but failed to find the saddles, was
waiting for him to come. It was evident
that she had looked for him to come from
the trail, for her face was turned that
Way. There was something pathetically
timid and frigtened‘about her; yet there
was a touch of hopeful confidence, too.

, Duncan took a deep breath. The time
for make-believe and deceit was over.
They would ride for it. If trouble came
he would fight his way out of it. He
took the captain’s pistol—he had coolly
stolen it from the cabin—from his shirt
and stuck it in his trousers band. Worn
there, he felt it to be a symbol of his

new attitude. He went down the slope at‘

a run. The girl turned toward him, and
the strained air of her features vanished
suddenly. Duncan felt suddenly embar-
rassed. No one. had .ever. looked glad to
see him before: - » .

“I was afraid," she cried. “I was afraid
you wouldn’t " Her face puckered up
suddenly; tears slid out of her eyes; she
turned her head away.

“Of course I’d come," he said, rather
testily, though he recognized vaguely that
pleasure was mixed with his confusion.
"Bring the horses. I'll hunt the saddles."

She obeyed him in silence and came
trailing along after him, a horse's head
bobbing behind each shoulder, and tears
running down her face.

The saddles were where he hal left
them. Working together, they had the
horses ready for the road in a minute.
Duncan stepped close to the girl before
they mounted.

"Wipe your eyes," he ordered sternly,
and added, "You’re all right now."

She did as she was told. He helped
her, unnecessarily, into the saddle. As
she settled into the seat, she looked down
at him and caught his glance. ' Neither
moved for a moment.

Duncan shook himself and swung into
the saddle.

“Now we've got to ride,” he declared.
"Stick close behind me."

They began to work almost due east
through the woods. The final problem was
how to reach a settlement back to the
west, not Augusta Court House—they
Were too far south of it—but 'a. point on
the same highway. To go to the nearest

settlement might be shorter, but they
would run the risk of coming across
Locke and his gang on the trail.

The immediate job was to get away
without warning being given by the
guards on the trails. Straight west, the
country was extremely rough for a little
way at least. Duncan was afraid ,he

could not take the horses through except _

on the guarded trail. East, it seemed
to open up. He figured on getting past
the guard to the east, swinging south, and
then turning back to the west again.
The ground .was covered slowly. They
could not go faster than a walk. Duncan
kept an ear cocked over his shoulder. How

THE USE OF POWER TUBES .

0 use or not to .use a power

tube" is a subject which is in

the mindset many radio owners.

All the radio magazines urge power

tubes, but it cannot be denied that

many who use them are not satisfied

The reason

for this is the popular misconception
of the purpose of the power tube.

1-. Power tubes are built with heavier

~‘~fi1aments than are the common tubes

and may be operated with higher “B”
battery voltage and are. capable of
delivering more undistorted power to
the loudspeaker. Compared to the
common tubes they are “powerful
tubes," but they are not powerful
amplifiers.’ In fact their am lication
factor is considerably less t an that

Vof the ordinary 201A tube. This

means that when a power tube is in-
stalled the radio set will apparently
be less sensitive and the volume con-
trol will have to be turned up far-
ther in order to get the same volume.
However, when this is done, ' the
quality of sound Will be improved be-
cause the power tube is capable of
handling more power without distor-
tion.

If you have a three or four tube
set which must be tuned for maxi-
mum volume for the stations to
which you wish to listen, do not get
a power tube unless you expect to
put up a longer or higher antenna to
make up for its decreased amplifica-
tion. On the other hand if you have
a six or eight tube set which brings
in stronger signals than you; need,

you will. do well to install a power _

WKAR ASSIGNED NEW WAVE
WAVE LENGTH

ETTER reception for WKAR lis-

teners is expected as a result of

_ the change in wave length which
became effective December 1 by or-
der of the Federal Radio Commis-
sion. The new wave length is 277. 6
meters.

Station WGHP, Detroit, has also
shifted to 277. 6 meters necessitating
a division of time between the two
stations.

The time of the Radio School from
WKAR has been changed on- Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings. The ath-
letic department lectures. have been
shifted from 7: 5. Tuesday evenings

' to 8:10 on Fir ys. The music hour,

formerly 8 to 9 o’clock Wednesday
nights, has been changed to Mondays
at the same hour. '

The revised schedule is as follows:

Was this the end then? Duncan found '
his mind racing like glad in the frosen in- .j

stant that fellowed.’ could they cut back
to the rubber? .Too late.” They were seen.
Could he shoot Looks down and go on?
The. thought hardly grazed his mind. He

dared not. Others might be behind—so he '

told himself. Really, he had hidden mo
long. played the buifoon too often: his
habits forebade his standing up to Locke' s
fire: those same habits and him into
a more familiar defense.

‘Stay behind and be quiet. Don't run. " V

he said to the girl. and then spurred
ahead.

Locke pulled down to a walk. A pistol
was in one band. Duncan could see his
eyes gleam under his wide hat. The. face
showed nothing—no alarm—no surprise-V—
but it was on guard. Duncan’ s horse slid
away from under him. He fell on the-
sod. staggered up and ran to Locke and
hung sobbing to the captain's stirrup.

"I did what you told me, sir,“ he cried. I
. “Thank heaven, you' re here. That Rom-

key.——I tried to kill him. "

. Locke slid his pistol back in the hol-

ster. He twisted one end of his mous-

tache.

“1;;50. " he commented, and his voice was
"We hoped to find you," Duncan went

on. “They would catch us before we ‘ '

reached the settlements.”

"I rode ahead, " Locke commented.
"That Romkey—he was ripe for. killing.
So they made fresh with you, mistress?”

He raised his voice in that question.
The girl, close at hand now, raised her
{mi-stained face and gave him a fearful
oo .

"Not too free." muttered Duncan. “We
escaped in time."

“To free if they looked at her even. "
said Locke distinctly. “They were warned.
Now they will learn something."

-He gathered up his reins.

"FOHOW‘ at s. distance." he ordered.
"There is no need for you tostop a bullet
or for her. You have done well. When

the shooting is over, bring her into camp. " 1

left behind looked at each other. Duncan
mounted slowly.

"VVe' ve half an hour." he murmured to

himself, and, after a moment. “I should '

have killed him.”

_ At that moment he hated Locke pro- ;
foundly. Partly this was because he had V ‘

shown fear of the watch: it was partly

because Locke had—rated him so law he .

had not bothered to watch him. And then,
what had this trickery cost them? In

half an hour at the most, the troop would
be after them, and Locke knew the Wdirecn 1
tion: that laborious circuit of_ the guard ,

had been vain.

Duncan smiled a little at that: tho di- ’

rection would change.

They followed the trail half a. mile far- ;

ther, then cut back south and west. The

'timber was open and the ground hard.
He doubted if their trail would be easy to ,

follow.

Some moments later they blundercd into ‘
a tangle that made progress slow and '

left too plain marks. Yet they stumbled
onto 'a maze of deer trails soon after, and
taking the ones that headed west, started
back through the hills.

No sound of pursuit came. Both, of
course, knew that men in plenty were
after them. Some were behind, quite cer-
tainly: no doubt some were patrolling
ahead. Locke was too wise not to figure
on this move. Yet there was nothing to
do but go on. Dusk was at hand by the

time that Duncan rods out onto s. Well,
beaten path and halted in surprise. The ‘

girl was quicker.

text says that this was the cry sixty

centuries the church had no formu-

lated creed or canon, but it had a
- heaven-inspired enthusiasm.

It was
under the spell of a simple and dy-
namic faith in Christ, which gave it
the power to sweep the Roman world
with. its purifying fire. 'It has been
in modern times that we have erect-
ed high sectarian walls. And even

. more, in“ the same churches we have

the ugly partitions of race,.,we_alth,
educational snobbery, and’ social
caste. Christmas appeals to us to
pullfdownr these barriers that there

_might be unhindered communion in

the fellowship of all. There shall
always be natural distinctions and
callings which cannot be changed.
But when Jew and Gentile, rich and
poor, merchant and farmer, have
right moral understandings of God
and yield to his purposes for this
world era, there will be such respect
for all classes as to soften and even
obliterate the hard differences that
now exist in human society. This
reality is symbolized in the Manager
of Christmas. - ' . .

Out " of 'the pain

this high discoirery, this beam of
hope that God, from the foundation

of the world has been working to

bring mankind together as one uni-
versal family of .the redeemed.
Science concurs in this. Both reli-
gion and science tell us that the In-
finite Purpose has planned the world
to consummate this unity of peoples.
Both tell us that Creation has long
been groaning to this end. Now, we
moderns need this common mind and
hope. . When we get it our faith will
be',freed from those narrow and’big-
oted - conceptions which cause so
much social pain and confusion. True
religion is being in tune with the In-
finite Plan.

‘fFor he is our peace." Christ, in
God’s purpose, came to mediate har-
mony.‘ Paul asserts that all racial
hardness and social estrangements
have been slain through the teach-
ings and the sacrifice of one Jesus

' of Nazareth. This is the deep moral

glory of the Cross, though it yet
amazes and confuses the minds of
many. To understanding faith, the
Cross is the passionate language of
"God SO loved that He gave."
If Christ was the Victim of hatred;
He was surpassingly more in the pur-
pose of God: he was a Martyr to
Love, to which when men are con-
verted, they shall become brothers
the wide-world over. Christmas
memorializes the birth of such Love.

and so effectual in its working, as to

and make for a spiritual unity, which
is the only kind of unity that the
New Testament knows anything
about. Therefore, let Jew and Gen-
tile join in the Christmas carols.-

A Kentucky patrolman ate a. couple of
fried eggs for breakfast one morning and
they tasted so good he asked for a couple
more. His wife sent him to the hen house
to get two more from the same nest in
which a number of hens were in the habit
of laying. Going to the nest he found 3
large blacksnake guarding two snake eggs.
A hasty check convinced him that‘the
two eggs he had eaten were similar to the
ones in the nest, and he immediately lost

us, it must be evident that human"
"society cannot besaved withoutit.
Let our text speak. . .
"The barrier which kept us apart.”
Of course, Paul is included in the.
"us.” That is, the apostle once held'
aloof from other peoples because of
a certain racial and religious pre—
judice in his life. ' His own .perse-,'
cuting hatred of the Christians is a

vivid suggestion of what he meansby,‘ '

“barrier.” Though a general civic.
and political unity was compelled. in
«Paul’s time through - the .-power--:of;-
Rome, JewIand Gentile were-sharply
antagonistic in religion. Paul,‘ as an
Outstanding representative ,of his
race, was proud of this. .His God‘
l~was the onlgtrue one and his race ,
the chosen depository for Heaven’s .
graces. -This bigotry led..to a sense
of race—superiority and a state of ac— ‘
tual heart-enmity. But one ‘day this
arch persecutor met' an Arresting
Stranger in the road. He afterward ‘
said, “I was laid hold on by Christ
Jesus.” And hence forth this des—
perately divisive thing was slain «in
his heart. So, he generalizes that
“through Christ we both have our
access in one Spirit unto the Father."
And again he says, “There can be
neither Jew nor Creek” in Christian
society. This ideal fraternizes man-
kind and is to become a reality some
Christmas season. It does away with
the cleavages of race, religion, cus-
toms, and many minor distinctions.
Anyway, what individual has con-
trol over the incident of his birth?
Be he Jew or Gentile, is he any less...
a man? We didn’t think so when
the war was on. , Creeds and races
were forgotten in a common strug-

But the war is over. Is it? “The,
fact is that since the end of the war.
we had been shouting peace, peace
when there had been no peace. The
war has been going on not with bul-

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

“PEACE on earth, good will to men,” was the
message c“ the heavenly chorus to the
shepherds abiding in the field.

Most of the year we are pretty much selt~
centered. Few of us do not think of our own
interests first, and the desires and claims of
others come only after ours have been taken
care of. Perhaps we have serious quarrel: with
our neighbors, even our dearest friends, over mats
ters that are of small or no importance as far
as the progress of the world is concerned. We
even make bitter enemies of former friends be-
cause of our selfish tendencies. But with the
coming of Christmas a change comes over us.
We forget our petty quarrels. we seek to renew
old friendships, we have a kindly feeling for
everyone. The true spirit of Christmas is upon
us and that simple but wonderful message comes
home to us. “Peace on earth. good will to men.".
.15.” us resflve not to remember-"this just at
Christmas time, but carry the message and spirit
with us throughout the year.
world a. much better place to live in.

May you be at peace with the world and have
the ill will of no good man. Such are our heart-
felt wishes to our good friends for not only this
Christmas Day but for all the year. Also may
each of you receive such prosperity as you de-
serve during the New Year.

 

moment AT INTERNATIONAL

FTER looking over the live stock, the hay
and grain, and the educational exhibits at
the International, in Chicago, this year we
were might proud of the fact that we were from
Michigan. There was not one state that made a
better all around showing and took heme more
prizes on a similar number at exhibits. Our only
regret was that we were barred trom competition
in corn because of the corn borer in our State.-
Without a doubt we could have make some nice
winnings in corn it we had had the opportunity.
And remember this was the best lnternationl ever
staged.

A story about our winnings in hay and grain
appears on page four of this issue and one about
what we did in live stock will be found on page
eighteen. '

 

VALUE OF SHORT COURSE

SURVEY made in Georgia revealed the .fact

that when an uneducated farmer makes

$100, a farmer with a common school educa-
tion will earn $235, with a high school education
$255, with a short course training $376, and with
a full college education in agriculture $522. A
similar study in New York State showed that
those who took a twelve weeks short course made
labor incomes 44 per cent greater on. the aver-
age than did farmers who had no college train-,

Bi receive many letters from subscribers
about their dealings with mail order spee-

cerns for adjustment, Most of them are promptly ,.

The other day we got a letter 116m alarm wo-

men who advised that she had ordered slur»- 1‘

she was unable to get any settlement. We are
trying to get a settlement and indications are
that it willsoon be adjusted. "
~ We are not surprised that the glasses did not
fit the little girl. In fact. we can not understand
how this'weman ever trusted the, eyesight of her
growls; child to a mail order “eye doctor.” No
one. not even the most learned specialist, can tell
what is wrong with a child's eyesight or correctly
prescribe glasses without making a personal ex-
amination. Perhaps there are a few aged people '
who have been able to see“ better through glasses
they got from such a source but it they will make

go earetul examination they will find that the

glasses. merely magnify which makes the type
larger and more easily read. As tar as such
glasses being a remedy for eyes that are diseased
in any way, they are not.

It you or any member of your ialmly have eye
trouble visit a specialist-in your locality at your
earliest convenience. Eye sight is too precious

the Supreme Court debided
against the Trihend Sales Corp-.01
New York, which mooning hosiery

MARK PIANO COMPANY
HE P, A. Stark Piano Company,
of Detroit, was recently found
guilty of violating the statute
prohibiting false, deceptive and mis-
leading advertising, the Recorder’s
Court of Detroit handing down the
decision and fining them 5100.
The company was charged with
advertising in newspapers a special
player piano outfit, consisting of

 

" piano, 12 music rolls, a bench, cabl-

net and floor lamp, all for only $296.
Then when a prospective customer
went into their store to inquire about
it the salesmen used high pressure
to try to sell him a more expensive
piano. A former manager of the
store testified that he had been in-
structed by the company not to sell
the advertised $295 outfit.

UNCLE SAM STOPS LOAN
OPERATOR
EORGE BELMONT‘ SANBOR-N,
G 'of Detroit, has been operating
for the last five years under the

‘ firm names of People’s Home Build—

ing Service, Belmont. Service Com-
pany, People’s Home Financing Com—
pany and American Loan and Mort-
gage. The other day Uncle Sam, in
the form of a post office inspector,
cent a dark cloud eyer his apparent-
ly sunny future, by having' him ar-
rested and charged with using the
mails to defraud.

It seems that Sanborn would run
advertisements in the newspapers
suggesting that if anyone needed”
money the ~c0mpany under whose
name ‘he ran the ad might be able
to arrange s. first or second mort-
gage. When anyone applied for a
loan he would lead them to believe
he represented some well-known
loan association, according to offi-
cials. He would give the applicant
a contract to sign, authorizing him
to arrange for a mortgage. Then he
would proceed, in the presence of the
applicant, to typewrite a letter apply-
ing for the mortgage, signing the

name of the applicant to the letter, -

according to those who conducted an
layestigation of his methods. These
letters were sent to mortgage loan
companies, which would either ig-
nore them or write direct to the ap-
plicant advising that the mortgage

could not be arranged. Where 393- .

OFFICIALS LOCATE “EYE
DOCTO "
AST spring we published an ar-
ticle on this page regarding the

operations of an “eye doctor” in l

Eaton and Ionia counties, telling
how people had been swindled out of
large sums of money for "treat-
ments" and ,“operations.” Before
the swindle was discovered “Dr. An-
derson," alias Fred Asher, of Chi-
cage, had departed and left no for—
warding address. The “doctor" was
accompanied by an assistant known
as Jerry Welch. Officials have been
trying to locate the pair and just re—
cently heard that Asner was under
arrest in Waterloo, Illinois. Late
information indicates that he is out
on bail and his trial in that city will
come up the middle of this month.
After the Illinois authorities are
through with him officials of Eaton
county plan to bring him back to
Michigan to stand trial.

Looks like Asner met his ”Water-
loo” at Waterloo.

 

 

BUYING A RAnIo

are pleased to say that com—

W plaints we receive against radio
companies are few. Perhaps it

is mostly because our subscribers
consider it wise to purchase only
from local dealers or mail order
houses with reputations for fair deal-
ing and trustworthiness. Geod judg-
ment is used in makin such decision

, because there are co panics in the

country that do not hesitate to make
misleading statements in their ad—
vertising, causing much disatisfac—
tion.

When you are buying a radio be
sure that you are buying from a re-
putable company, one that will stand
back of the'outflt they are selling
you. Also be sure that you under-
stand the price and if it includes all
the equipment necessary to satisfact-
orily operate the set. Another thing,
if buying by mail with the under—
standing that the set is subject to re-
turn for refund if not satisfactory,
see to it that the accessories are also
included in the agreement for return.

INTERNATIONAL CLIPPING
BUREAU
NE of our Calhoun County
friends, living near Ceresco,
sent us a postal card which she
received from the International Clip-
ping Bureau, Box 614, Battle Creek,
Michigan. The card reads as fol-
lows:

“Dear Friend: We have an in-
teresting news article concerning
you which has recently appared in
one of the papers. A clipping of the
article will be mailed upon receipt
of 25c in coin. "

This is the same newspaper clip-
ping scheme that we have warned
our readers about several times but
this is the first time We have heard
of a company of this name. How-
ever, there are apparently hundreds
of people in this country working
this scheme on the public.

If you get a. card of this kind or a
letter containing this information
and you remit the required amount
you will get a clipping all right, in
Most cases, and it will be about
something that took place some
time before and will not be of inter—
est to you at this time.

The International Clipping Bureau
underscored the word “ooin’-’ which
indicated that is what they are anx—
ious to get. All concerns of this type
are interested in the "coin" only,

, otherwise they would not be working

such a scheme. The quickest way to
put them out of luminous is to make

' their best-nose unprofitable and you

can do that by paying no attention

' to any cards or letters you receive
’« from them. .

One Way To Have A Merry Christmas.

-——We never entertain much for Thanks-
giving; our big day is Christmas. There
are seven of us children on my side of the
house and Mother. We take turns hav-
ing Christmas dinner. It’s my turn this
year. I will furnish a. roast goose, the veg-
etables, and the bread and butter, and
more if I like, the rest bring the pies,
cakes, fruit, salads, roast chickens, cheese,
and celery, and the unmaried ones furn-
ish the nuts and candy. We draw names
as it is almost impossible to buy all
around.
so you see we have a jolly time. -—Mrs. S.
13., Akron, Mich.
-—It seems to me that your arrangement
for Christmas entertaining is a very sensi-
ble one—so good, in fact, that. we are
passing it along to the rest of our read-
ers. It is so much nicer to have the fam-
ily all together on Christmas day, but
very often it is impossible, for one mem-
ber to finance it alone. When everybody
cooperates the result is the same, but the
strain on each individual is much less.
This plan may likewise be extended to
other holidays.

Recipes

 

 

Christmas Candies—Both children and
grown folks feel that the Christmas sea-
son ls not complete without candy. .Let
us make our OWn this year—we can have
so much more at less cost. We'll choose
some evening when the family will be all
at home so they can join in the “party."
It will be loads of fun with Father and
the boys cracking nuts and “cracking
wise,” while we women folks hurry around
buttering pans, measuring, and stirring,
and “watching the pot boil. "

, Boxed and wrapped prettily, candies al-
so make good “last minute” presents.

Peanut Candy.———3 tablespoons butter; 2
cups molasses; two-thirds cup sugar: 1
quart peanuts: One-half teaspoon salt.
Melt butter, and molasses and sugar, bring
to the boiling point and let boil until
mixture become brittle when tried in cold
water. Stir in peanuts (shelled, skinned,
separated in halves, and sprinkled with
salt.) Turn into buttered pan, cool slight-
'ly and mark in squares.

Fruit Balls.——A variety of fruit balls
may be made with different flavors. Any
of the following are good combinations:
No. 1—-—1,é lb. dates, 1,4, lb. figs, 114. lb. seed-
less raisins; No. 2—% lb. dates, 1Alb.
prunes. 1,4, lb. dried apricots: No. 3—1/2
lb. dates, 1/4 lb. figs, 1,4, lb. citron. Wash
fruit thoroughly in tho water and put
through a food chopper. A half cup of
shredded cocoanut may be added, or 114
cup of nuts ground with the fruit. If the

,- mixture is too dry to mold nicely, add a

little orange or lemon juice. Shape into
balls and store in an air-tight can. When
ready to use roll in powdered sugar.

Molasses Candy.—1 quart of good mo-
lasses; IA; cup vinegar; 1 cup sugar; but-
ter the size of an egg; 1 teaspoon sal~
eratus. Dissolve the sugar in the vine-
gar, mix with the molasses and boil, stir-
ring frequently, until it hardens .when
dropped from the spoon into cold water;
then stir in the butter and soda, the lat-
ter diSSolved in hot water. Flavor to
your taste. Give one hard final stir and
pour into buttered dishes. As it cools,
cut into squares for taffy, or, While soft
enough to handle, pull white into sticks,
using only the buttered tips of your fingers
for that purpose.

Chocolate Carmelo or Fudge—Cook to-
gether over medium heat one pound brown
sugar, quarter of a. pound of Baker’s
chocolate, broken or cut in small pieces,
and a quarter cupful of cold water, and
keep at a steady boil until a. few drops
of it will harden in cold water. Add then
a heaping tablespoonful of vanilla, turn
into buttered pans, and when it has cool-
ed a little mark into squares with a but-
tered knife. If you prefer “chewy" cara-
mels, mix two tablespoons of molasses
with the sugar when you put it on the
stove.

Fondant—3 cups sugar; 1 cup hot wat-
.er; one-eighth teaspoon cream of tartar.
Put ingredients into a stewpan, heat grad-
ually to a boiling point, making sure that
all the sugar is dissolved before mixture
boils. ,Do not stir after it comes to a
bail: keep the crystals from the side of

and quickly washing of! a small part of
the sugar and .srystals with the finger
tips, repeating until all is removed. If
this is quickly done, there is no danger
in burning your fingers. After boiling for
a. few minutes, pour slowly on a slightly
oiled marble ‘slab or large platter Let
stand a few minutes. to cool, but not long
enbugh to become hard around edges.
Scrape Fondant with chopping knife to
one end .of marble and Work with a. wood-
en spatula or spoon until white and
creamy. It will quickly change from this
consistency and begin .to lump, when it
should be kneaded with the hands until
perfectly smooth. Put into a bond cov-
ered with oiled paper to prevent a crust
from forming. Always make Fondant in
clear weather.

Chocolate Creams.-——-Mix six tablespoons
of melted unsweetened chocolate until it
is thick and smooth (without water), and
dip into it small balls of Fondant. Balls
should be allowed to stand overnight and
Several dippings
may be needed before they are satisfact-

~ory. . .1

Famous Old Recipe
For Cough Syrup

Easily and cheaply made at home, but
tbeats them all for
quick results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thousands of housewives have found

ally spent for cough preparatiOns, by .us- ‘
ing this well- known old recipe for makin
cough syrup. It is simple and cheap bu
it has no equal for results. It giVes im-
mediate relief, usually stopping an ordin-,
ary cough in 24 hours or less.

Get 21/2 ounces of\ Pinex from ‘ A
druggist, pour it into a. pint bottle, and add '
plain granulated sugar syrup to make as
full pint. If you prefer use clarified
honey instead of sugar syrup. Either ways,
it tas es good, keeps perfectly, and 13.5
a. family a long time. .

It’s truly astonishing how quickly it-
acts, penetrating through every air pass-1
age of the throat and lungs—loosens and
raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the. "
membranes and gradually but surely the'
annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough
disappear entirely. Nothing better for;
bronchitis, hoarseness or bronchial asthma. ,

trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract and palatable guaiacol, known the ..
world over for its healing effect on mem-
branes. '

. Of course, I read all of the stories.
‘~ even though I was not one of the
judges. because I love all of the mem—
bers of our Children‘s Hour, and I
was much impressed with the fact
. that the idea. in most of the stories
was making poor children happy by
bringing them Christmas gifts. And
in each case someone was made very
happy through making someone else
happy. Surely there is no truer or
better happiness than that gained
through making someone else happy.
A happiness that we enjoy alone
when we might share it with others
is a selfish happiness, and we can not
get much pleasure or enjoyment out
of being selfish. I am thankful that
7. selfishness is not a part of the make-
. up of our members.

Now, dear boys and girls, this is
the last issue we will publish before
Christmas, so I want to wish you a
, . most merry Christmas and happy

New Year. May your gifts be many
at Christmas time and the New Year
bring you much riches in the form of
good health and happiness, are my
wishes to you from the bottom of my
‘ heart—UNCLE NED.

 

 

 

 

 

LIGHTING SANTA’S WAY
(first l’rise)

Little Jimmy was very busy and he

up his stocking. It was Christmas Eve
and the snow lay heavily piled around the
farm house which was Jimmy's home.

”Mother, do you think Santa will come?“

“But, dear. I don’t see how he’s going
to manage to get through all this snow."
said Mrs. Bennetts, looking out at the
snow covered farm from which she had
been able to wrest only the bare necessi-
ties of life since Mr. Bennetts’s death a
, year before. - '
- “Well, I think Santa can do anything,"
asserted Jimmy, picking up the lantern,
for there were no electric lights on the
7 farmfand preparing to go upstairs. “Any-
’ . wafy, Mother, I’m going to hang the lant-
“ em by the Window to light up his way if
he comes. Can’t I, please?”

“Certainly, dear, but now you must go
to had.” V
,«Jimmy was soon _fast asleep but Mrs.
ennetts sat down stairs. How she wish—
ed she could provide these Christmas
gifts tor Jimmy. but. circumstances would
noty'permit. Suddenly there came a knock.

had stopped speaking. “my can put that

have several toys here for my grandson.
He has so much already that he will never

A REAL CHRISTMAS
(Second rrize)

It was a tiny little cottage where Mrs.
Graham and her two children. lived.
If you could have looked in the win-
dow on a Christmas Eve you would have
seen a very poorly furnished room and
nothing on the table but three bowls ’of
mush and milk. The children were not
yet seated at the table when there was a
knock at the door. Jack hurried to open
it, and the conductor and two little child-
ren appeared. “Mrs. Graham," he said,
"I wonder if. you could keep these children
over night. They were put on my train
by mistake, they are to go to their uncle.

“Of course we will keep them.” said
Mrs. Graham, and while she was taking
off their coats and comforting 'flvewyear-
old Laura, who was crying, Jack and
Molly quietly and quickly divided the
mush in their bowls so there would be
some for their guests. W‘hen supper was
eaten Mrs. Graham said. “I. might make

“No. mother.“ said Jack. "I am going

down stairs to talk over what they would

When they returned they had a train and
some cars behind for Frank and Mollie
had a pretty doll and a large picture

asleep Mrs. Graham made candy and

The next morning the little visitors

NATION-WIDE INCREASE
IN LlABlllTY RATES

The companies assert that
this action was necessitated
on account of the increased
number of accidents and the
unreasonable claims and ex,-
aggerations. Collision loss
ves have also greatly in-
creased the past year. Auto-
mobile Owners now apprecl-
ate what a serious thing it is
to drive a car. During the
past ten years, more that ten

companies writing automo-_

bile insurance, have either
retired or quit. Some will
make a low rate for a while
and then find that they are
not getting the, proper rate.

statewide organization to

the company has an agent or

is important for the automo. _

company has .the reputation
of paying all masonlble
claims and it is prepared to
defend and protect the
members from those who at- '

and juries realize that the
automobile means a lot to
prosperity and success in

HOLDS UP MILK

. I have a cow that will not let
down her milk. She is a high grade
Jersey, five years old. Her milk is
very rich in cream and she gives a
good eight to ten quarts at a milk-
ing. This cow and her half sister
were raised together and they
formed the habit of sucking each
other. Means were taken to prevent
this but in one way or another they
overcame the difficulties and sucked
each other. This cow refused to let
down her milk and so dried herself
up. We sold the other cow and last
year when this cow came in we did
not even let the calf suck but took
it away from its mother at birth.
She seemed alright for about a week
and then began gradually to hold
her milk. At some milkings we
could not get anything from her.
When she did let down she usually
let it all down. We tried feeding
and everything we could think of but
after. a few months she had dried
herself up. .Do you have anything to
suggest that will break her of this
habit. She is a. very valuable cow
as she comes from good- stock and.
would appreciate it very much if
some remedy could be suggested.—
M. L. K., Holloway, Mich.

HIS is a nervous condition that is
T solely under the control of the

' animal herself and I know of
nothing that would be likely to give
you any results at all.

sible awards in this class went to

keenly contested class containing
entries from most or the Canadian
provinces. The sweepstakes in peas
was awarded to Wm. Darnbrough of
Saskatchewan, Canada.

the western seed growing states a
sample of sweet clover, exhibited by
Orville Conley, oi Alma, placed third
in its class. The farmers from this
State also demonstrated their ability
to produce flax, four or the five
awards offered in region two going

pionship was won by C. Edson Smith
of Cornwallis, Montana.

Another first award was added to
the string in the oat class for region
two, this award going to L H. Lay-
lin, of Mason. Nine of the twenty-
five premiums went to growers re-
siding in the Wolverine state. The
sweepstakes trophy in , oats was
awarded to Terman Trelle, Wembly,
Alberta, Canada, on an excellent
sample which weighed forty-nine
pounds per bushel.

The results of this great- show
prove that 'Michigan agriculture is
forging ahead. The quality of the
saniples from thiE State was of the
very best. The number of entries

‘ is increasing every year as ' is the

number ei.’ premium won. Due to
the regulations-‘governing the spread
of the European Corn Borer, no
Michigan corn was exhibited at the
show this year. The sweepstakes
award went to a. grower in Indiana
on a sample of Reid’s Yellow Dent.
Educational Exhibit

The Michigan State College, the
extension division and the experi-
ment station cooperating put on an
exhibit along educational lines in
advising farmers to sow adapted al-
falfa. seed. This, was brought out
by showing the origin of seed, its
adaption to different sections. of the
country and the remarkable increase
of over 700 per cent in alfalfa acre-
age in Michigan since 1919.

FARMERS WIN MEDALS FOR
PRODUCING PORK
ICHIGAN farmers in increasing
numbers each year are finding
that it is possible and profitable
to grow out a litter of pigs to weigh

0. ton or more at six months of age, ,

according to reperts submitted by
entrants in the Michigan ton—litter
contest.

Last year only 23 farmers in the
state succeeded in qualifying for the
medal awarded by Michigan State
College to each successful contestant,
while this year 32 pork producers
have already fulfilled the require—
ments.

George Klengenberger, Holland,
leads in the pork producing race with
a litter 01' 14 Chester Whites that
weighed 3,160 pounds at the end of
the six month’s feeding period.
Eleven Ohio Improved Chester’s own-
ed by E. E. Owen, Lapeer, weighed
2, 944 pounds.

Litters weighing over a ton and a
quarter were owned by Seymour

ORE mone after the feed

feed Larro Egg Mash,” saysjobn
1F. Fraser, successful poultry-
man of Bridgeton, New Jersey

Larro Egg Mash costs Mr. Fraser
$17. 00 per ton more than did
his home mixed feed, but his
1400 Larro- fed Wh1te Leghorns
proved that they could produce
enough additidnal eggs to more
than pay this diflerence in the
cost of feed.

With a'ctual records as his guide,
Mr. Fraser feeds Larro 1n prefer-
ence to his former ration because
it keeps the flock 1n better con-
dition—because it makes more
eggs—because' it leaves a bigger
profit after the feed bill is paid.

Larro Egg Masb 1': a complete ration. Tbere are no

E 61st annual session of the
ability to pay and upon actual ben-

National Grange. held Novem-

ber 16-25, at Cleveland, Ohio."

attracted the attention of the entire
nation and was unquestionably the
largest convention 'of farm people
ever held in the United States.
.Twenty-elght Grange states were

- represented by voting delegates, and

although each delegat‘e brought his
local viewpoint on public questions,
the Cleveland session of 10 days was
characterized by remarkable har-
mony and agreement throughout,
every declaration of
Grange policy—though often
reached only after long and thor-
ough discussion—was accomplished
by well-nigh unanimous vote.
Fully 10-,000' Grange members
came to Cleveland, many remaining
for the entire session, while others
were brought in by special trains for
the conferring of the Seventh De-
gree, whose initiates numbered 5950.
Following the degree the 10,000
Grange people were addressed by

.Senator William E. Borah of.Idaho

on “Law Enforcement or Nullifléa-

tion.” Other prominent men who ad- '~

dressed the ’Cleveland gathering

were. Congressman John C. Ketcham-

of Michigan and Martin L. Davey of
Ohio, .
United States Tariff Commission,
and James B. Emery,‘
Better Understanding Between In-
dustry and Agriculture.

This was the biennial election year
in the National Grange and National
Master Louis J. Taber was reelected,
as well as A. S. Goss of the Execu-
tive Committee. How truly national
an organinzation the Grange is was
amply attested by the fact that its
board of 16 officers elected at Cleve-

land comprised 16 different states.

including Maine and Washington.

The National Grange expressed
itself clearly on public questions of
the day. The following summary
tells the story:

Principal Grange Declarations

1. The National Grange reaffirms
its advocacy of the Export Debenture
plan for practical farm relief, as ef-
fective, workable and without the
necessity for setting up costly admin»-
istrative machinery; the plan being
capable of independent application
or in combination with other sound
remedies; and the Grange declares
its readiness to cooperate with any
other group or organization in bring-
ing about immediate relief. '

2. The National Grange declares
that the time has come when tax re-
lief for an overburdened people must
be found, especially for the farm and
home owners of the United States;
urges a refund to the states of a por-
tion of income and inheritance taxes,
to be distributed for educational and
improvement purposes; opposes re-
duction in income taxes at the pres-
out time; and advocates curtailment
of state, county and local expendi-

tures until such taxes are materially

lowered.
3. The National Grange demands

the preservation of the cooperative.

features of the Federal Farm Loan
Act and.insists upon provision for
long—time amortized loans for per-
manent development projects by
far-in cooperatives. .

l 4. The National Grange demands
a vigorous enforcement of the Eight:
eenth Amendment and the Volstead
Act; pledges its entire energies in
behalf of such enforcement measures
as the present situation demands;
and favors stern punishment for all
vendors in narcotics. _
, 6. The National Grange declares
its continued support of the direct
primary and will vigorously resist
the efforts now being made in vari-
ous sections of the country tofiover-
throw it.

6. The National Grange declares
its unqualified opposition to further

_expenditure of Federal funds for ir-

rigation and reclamation projects so
long as the present surplus of agri-
cultural products cdntinues to. de-
press the selling price of farm crops.
7. The National Grange pledges
its continued efforts for the estab-
lishment of a National Agricultural
Day by Congressional enactment.
. The National Grange voted to

ing the feminine sex as encouraging ,
the spread of the cigarette habit.

It was voted to hold the 1928 ses-.

' sion of the National Grange at Wash-

ington, D. 0., and the convention
dates will be November 14—23.

HE Georgia. State college of Ag-
riculture has perfected a trap

nest that has proven the most
practical of any used in their egg

laying contests and we are publish?

ing plans fer it for the benefit of
our subscribers. The size given here
is for the light breeds; that is up to
6% pounds. I you intend to use it
for heavier breeds it should be built
larger.

They may be placed two deep in
the houses, or even three, but if

more than two high a way should be ,

provided for the birds to get up to
the nest. ”When placed two or more
tiers deep the bottom should be set
about 18 inches from the floor. A
slanting. roof should be built over
the upper tier to prevent the birds
from roosting on top of the nest.

The essential thing about a trap
nest is to have the door and trigger
so designed that the door will always
fall when the hen enters the nest and
the trigger locks the door so that it
is impossible for the hen to get out
unless the keeper raises the‘ door.
The screw hole in the trigger should
be just a little larger that the screw
to insure easy action when the ‘door
is pushed up. It is placed 2%

‘ inches from the bottom and , 3%

inches from the front as shown in
the diagram on this page. Bill of
material for a unit of five trap nests
is as follows (all boards are to be
surfaced on four sides):

Nest bottom— 1 piece 1x4 inches;
6 feet long. Front bottom—1 pc.,

The marketing of the eggs and
poultry produce through this organ-

poultry in this section of western

Michigan, which already is consid-v

the raising of baby chicks.

. CABBAGE .
EAR EDITORz—I am sending
you an item to publish, it you
care to, about cabbage. When
in the fall cabbage does not come to
head as it should, I take small heads
that are started (too small to use) to
make a trench about a foot and a half
deep; turn heads upside down in
this trench; tuck leaves in and cover
with dirt completely. I do not cut
off the roots until spring as they
grow through the winter. In the
spring they are of a creamy color.
They should be buried where there is
good drainage—Mrs. Michael Gassel,
Sanilac County.

i- M markets still give out a full
strong tone. Prices as a class

down. There were small but clear
, early December advances in grain,
feeds, cotton, cattle. lambs, wool.
butter, cheese, onions and apples.
Other lines have been holding fairly
well including hay, potatoes, eggs
and poultry. The southern trucking
season is early and active.
Grains
Grain markets have held generally
\ firm, reaching some new high points
in early December. Wheat advanced
with the Canadian markets and the
good domestic and export demand.
Premiums for high protein wheat
held steady for good milling types of
both spring and hard winter wheat.
Soft winter wheat prices continued
flrm, principally because of small
supplies. Corn sold at a new high
point. Receipts include a large per-
' centage of new crop grain but
quality is generally good and new
corn is bringing practically the same
price as old corn of similar grade.
Eastern buyers are taking more corn
from central and southWestern mar-
, kets because of the better quality
produced in the territory west of the
‘ Mississippi. Lighter oats supply
helped prices of this grain while ex-
, port demand advanced the price of

barley.
Feeds
Feed prices tended slightly down-
ward' in early December and demand
for wheat feeds slackened in‘ a few
sections. A gain of 50c per ton was
reported for linseed and slightly
higher prices for cottonseed at
,southern shipping points. Supplies
of cottonseed for the mills are re—
ported moderate. Gluten feed and
' hominy also tend upward and hom-
iny feed has been in light supply in
most markets.

Hay
Light offerings have held prices
of hay fairly steady in the face of
limited demand. Pastures ranged
from fair to good from southwestern
New Mexico eastward to the Atlantic
Coast but unusually mild weather in
that section.
Timothy had tended lower, par-
ticularly for the poorer grades]
1 Alfalfa markets held firm toslightly
; higher with a good demand for good
. quality» hay. Prairie markets were
slightly firmer as a result of light
offerings but the demand continued
3 limited.

Cattle and Hogs
An uneven but in most instances
sharp advance characterized cattle
trade at Chicago for the week ending
December 3. Strictly choice otter-
ings reached $19, the highest of the
season and within 25c of the 1920
peak. Stacker and feeder trade was
. brisk, large shipments going to the
7 Corn Belt as well as eastern grazing
sections at prices 25c to 50 higher
than the week previous. A liberal
‘ supply of hogs was responsible for a
25c to 350 decline, receipts being the
’ largest for any week during 1927.
Light and medium weights were in
most demand. The week’s top was
‘ $9.95. Shipping demand was rela-
tively broad.
Lambs

An advance to $14.50 attracted
liberal receipts of fat lambs. The
market closed 15c to 25c higher
than the week previous. Best na-
tives sold at $14.35 while $13.75 to
$14.25 took the bulk or the wooled
offerings. Country demand for
feeding lambs became more active
and prices improved, closing steady
to . strong. “Comeback” feeding
lambs-sold largely at $13 to $18.75,
go'od rangers selling up. to $14. '

A fair ”volume of domestic wool
was sold during the week ending De-
ceimber 3. .. Fine w001s were stronger.
. aaa result of a more active demand.‘
Fleece wools have been spotty. The
mohair market continued steady.

production largely control the week
to week situation.
Poultry
Live poultry markets hold barely
steady. Current arrivals have cleared
fairly well but anticipatio‘n of heavy
supply has been a factor of some in-
fluence. Fancy stock readily moved
at favorable prices. Arrivals at New
York market include increased per-
centages ofturkeys and geese, due
to approaching holidays.
change occurred in dressed poultry.
Turkeys are in liberal supply and go-
ing to coolers, with prices a little low-
er in early December.

Potatoes
Potato markets have not acted so

'well as might be' expected from the

very moderate crop. The weakness:
seemed to center about the heavy
shipments from far western sources
and from Maine‘to a few important
markets, overloading these centers,
although the season’s total shipments
have not been especially heavy so
far. Price declines have been very
slow but quite noticeable in the west.
The reported disposition of some
holders to delay their marketing
should tend to steady the situation.

Not much '

Cabbage is still plentiful and selling
at less than half the prices of a ‘year
ago. . Southern plantings are heavy.
Orange and grapefruit markets are
well supplied lately and prices not

holding very well despite the light
crop.

 

BEANS

This is the first year in several
that the pea bean grower has been
able to get a fair price for his crop.
While demand is reported as being
rather quiet the price has held up
in good shape. Reports from coun—
ties in,aimost every part of the
State indicate farmers are getting
$5.00 or better. .' '

Light red kidneys are quoted at
$6.50 and dark reds at $6.75.

f {Aw-Kare Conditions

{It 1s well- known that most cow disorders
have their origin in breeding troubles.
The terrific strain of producing a healthy
calf and coming through the freshening
period calls for more than good food and
comfortable quarters.

Let Kow-Kare be your aid when cows
freshen. No investment is so certain to
pay big returns. Instead of expecting
trouble, you prevent it—effectually and
at slight cost. Koyv-Kare invigorates the
genital organs——-makes them function
as nature intended. Feed Kow-Kare two
» or three weeks before and after calving

. -—a tablespoonful with the feed, and say
good- bye to worries with freshening
cows.

Treating Cow Disorders

For all cow ailments arising from weak
digestive and genital organs—Barren-
ness, Retained Afterbirth, Abortion,
Bunches, Scours, Lost Appetite, etc.,
Kow-Kare is a reliable home remedy.
Full directions on each can.

For Healthy Udders

-—u’se BAG BALM, the wonderful heal-
ing ointment. A great healer of the deli-
cate tissues of udder and teats. Big 10—
ounce can of this famous healer only 60c.

 

Home-Mix Your Own
Complete Mineral

With Kow—Kare you can easily mix your
own complete mineral at a surprisingly
Iow cost—a miXture of recognized .condi-
tioning value. Simply mix 30 lbs. salt; 30
lbs. fine- ground lime, 30 lbs. steamed bone
meal and four cans (large) Kow-Kare.
For well under $6 per hundred you will
have an'unbeatable mineral. Use 80 lbs.
of this mixture to a ton of grain.

health and vigor.

Barn-feeding conditions are a different
story. The diet is heavier, richer, harder
to digest. Fresh air and exercise are
largely lacking—but the milk-yield must
keep up. A slump means profits wiped
out. .The cow must be forced or the milk
check disappoints. '

Secret of Heavy Winter Yields

During the long winter months—when
your cows are subjected to this unnatural
strain of modern dairying—you can gear
up the whole herd to new heights of
production by the simple addition of
small quantities of Kow-Kare to their
low-cost feeds. This great product is a

concetrated regulator of the digestion

cow to get all the milk Value from Na- ,

ture’ s foods with safety to her health and
vigor. No need to pay out all your income
for rich and eXpensive concentrates

which, at best, have only temporary ef— .

fect on prOduction.

Give Kow— Kare a real test this winter
on the whole herd. For a few cents a
month per cow you will reap a surprising
milk crop from natural low—priced feeds.
A tablespoonful of Kow- Kare with the
feed one to two weeks in each month is
all the average cow needs. The benefits

is your bonus for ad'Opting the Kow- Kare

Thirty Years of Success

For over thirty years Kow- Kare has been

from their herds—r—both as an aid to great-
er yield, and in the prevention and cure
of cow disorders. Get your supply from
