Every school boy knows the story of how Paul Revere spread the warning to the farmers between Charles- town and Lexington that the British were on their way to seize military supplies stored by the Americans at Concord. When the advance troops of the British force reached Lex— ington they. found a force of 70 militiamen waiting on the common, under the command of Capt. John Parker. The valiant patriots refused to disperse when ordered by the British commander. Shots were exchanged, resulting in the death of four militiamen and the wounding of nine more. The Americans, outnumbered, were forced to re- treat. The British continued their march to Concord and completed their mission. On their return, however, a much larger force of militiamen inflicted such damage that only the arrival of reinforcements saved the British from disaster. 5. _ — - - — — — - — — — — — _ — — - _ =3 — _ _ _ — — _ - _ _ — — - - _ - -' — - — — _ - — - u - - - In this issue: “Over 10 Bushels of Clover Seed to Acre on Sand”-“Some Interesting Facts Regarding the Modern Milk Goat”-Special Page of Pictures on “Some of America’s Beauty " Spots”-As well as Our Many Regular Features I} roh‘. m and another similar shady lane be‘ tween Jonesville and North Adams. f, These lone and limby monarchs oil - the one-time forest that was Michi- gan completely arch the read; what relief they shed on these hot days and what vigils they keep in the dead of 'winter. I never'pass under these trees without thinking, of the great grandfather who thought effu- ture generations when he planted them. Wish we might visit for a little while with these benefactors to the present generation and find out did they plant these trees to ease the tired horses or did they plant to sat- isfy the creative desires that are in every heart? I am reminded that practically all of the good things we enjoy are pos- sible because somebody thought of others beside themselves. We put off seeding alfalfa until tomorrow be- cause we may sell the farm or may move; we may die before they come into bearing; we put off study because we may get it by some easier Elysian route. I think there must be a special ad- dition of Heaven where residence will be awarded to these benefactors of the race, these Sir Galahad’s of these present days. 0 Living Things Refresh the Soul: In any discussion as to the relative mer- its of city and country life, denizens of the smoke smudge cannot see why people cling to their life in the coun- try and on the farm. I know. It is because there is an unexplainable lure about dealing with living things —plants, animals, and the like. They are like clay, responding to the care of the attendant. You can work with people all day long, wear your nails to the quick, and all too frequently they walk off without even a thank you. But deal with plants. A little fertilizer, a little good care—and the response is spontaneous and ap- parent. Farm life has many advan- tages that cannot be ledgered. Therein lies the lure that holds folks firm to the fields, even though they lack much of getting the gross in- come that is paid to workers in in- dustrial plants. t O 3 Farm Home What Yen Make It: This leads me to an observation that we have amply proved in our own case. You can make a farm home just what you wish. No farmer or farm family needs to live in one of these barren homes unless they wish to, negatively speaking. Michigan woods are full of plantsmred osier, native spireas, evergreens, ferns of a hundred different patterns—that need only transplanting and group- ing to render farm homes very at- tractive. Nothing adds more to the attractiveness of farm home than a spacious lawn, well barbered. The farmer "has one thing that no city dweller has and that is space. Space, green space, the various shades of green——the light green of oats, the dark green of wheat, the bluish green of rye, the olive green of al— falfa—nothing is more restful than green. On the farms we have plenty of it. And more than this, only New York state can claim more nurseries than Michigan. From Michigan nurserymen, one can satisfy his de- sires for all kinds and varieties of plants. And these are the reasons that make us STRONG (spelled with capital letters) for the Farm Home Yard Beautification Contest which Friend Grinnell through THE BUSI- NESB FABMER is urging so strongly for rural Michigan. Were it not for the fact that I occasionally say my say-so in these columns, I would enter that contest. That fact alone keeps me out of it but cannot keep me from talking about it. II: t . Mrs. Morotzke, Gardener Deluxe: A few days ago I had an opportunity to go through the very attractive garden of Mrs. Gust Morotzke at Se- hewaing. Mrs. Morotzke is the very _ busy wife of a very busy man. She was outside when the husband showed us through the house—lovely furniture made by the wife out of materials that others discard, store- . boxes, enameled beans, chrome col- ored kernels of corn—«o perfectly glorious galaxy of all the colors that only Nature affords. Then we went : 9.11.3113 mm ': 1: south or Three Rivers; ' we put off planting thosn' young trees in the orchard because , out and inspected the garden. bath, collections of native shrubs and ferns brought from nearby woods; and other shrubs and trees bought from Michigan nurseries. “Certainly this woman has no children,” I said to myself. But in the next breath I was being introduced to Mrs. Morotzke herself and the three little Morotzkes! I judge that her creative mind is so busy that her bridge may be somewhat neglected. , II! t f (I wrote this much on my trusty Corona riding on a Pullman but a fussy old lady [he wears Windshields and has bell bottom pants] com- plains to the Pullman conductor that the typewriter gets on his nerves, so I will give deference to his type- shocked nerves and write the rest of it a la Eversharp.) C I O Michigan’s Great Market: My fa- ther, up in Emmett county, used to put a single horse on ahead of the team and haul baled hay 16 miles to Harbor Springs and sell it for eight dollars a ton! That was one of the prices of pioneering. Today market- ing has been greatly simplified but it is none too simple yet. The Benton Harbor fruit market is said to be the largest grower~to— and buyer-direct, market in the” United States. .During July, August, and September, we are told that buyers pay direct to fruit and vegetable growers an average of $50,000 a day. No traveler in southwestern Michi- gan should miss seeing this market in operation. You can depend upon getting what you buy—the State De- partment of Agriculture sees to that. Benton Harbor has been much in the public prints on account of its two Bens—Ben King and King Ben. Fortunately the king faker of apple- dom, Ben Davis, is quite off the stage. IV!

Readers Experience In Killing Thistles OT long ago we published a little notice about a professor of botany in a western university who wanted to know the best time or date tocnt’Canadianthdstlesacoordingtothebeliefotthefarmersof Michigan. Bic plans on trying out the advice of M. B. F. readers and then letting us know how he comes out. A large number of our folks kindly offered their experiences and we forwarded the letters to the professor who acknowledged them with many flanks. But before let- tingthemgetoutofourhaudswehodseverolsetintypetopuhlishin M.B. F. What are your ideas?—Editor. N your paper dated April 14th a question on how to kill Canada thistles is asked. Answer, let them grow all summer and late in the fall, say late in October, cut them close to the ground, with a mowing scythe. My experience, I sowed wheat late after a bean crop had been harvested. One place in the field was covered with thistles, hav- ing crowded out the beans, and to get them out of the way I mowed them close to the ground, raked and stacked them on and old stump. Imagine my surprise when I found that the thistles had ceased to grow on that piece of ground. It is easy to try. There is one trouble, farm- ers are afraid the thistles will go to seed and they cut them too soon. Thistles do not spread much from the seed. They should be left alone un- til late then cut them and you will have no more trouble with thistles. ——Parker James, Cass County. Cut When in Blossom Having just read your request. how to kill Canadian thistles, will say always cut them when in blos- som as their stalks are hollow then and this is a sure way to kill them. Cutting before blossom time will not kill them. This method I've used for many years and never failed yet.— Calvin P. Bowman, Calhoun County. Sign in Heart We saw in a recent issue about thistles and quack grass. One day when the sign was in the heart we went out north of our house where there was a piece of quack grass and we plowed it good and deep and it killed it and the same way with thistles. Any month when the sign is in the heart only you cut them off tight to the ground but July and Au- gust is the best month because they are more hollow—Fred Hamilton, Cass .County. One Cutting Gets Them Just a word in regards to thistles. By experience I will say Canadian thistles can be eradicated in one cut- ting. I had a two acre field of them as thick as they could grow and I let them grow until about the 29th of July then I mowed them close to the ground with the mower and upon my word it killed them all. Don’t take this date as the proper time, but ra- ther watch them very closely when they are coming in bloom, they will become very hollow. "I‘hey will get hollow before the seed gets ripe. Go in with the mower-and cut them down, eyeryone; don’t disturb the ground or cut any of them' before they get real hollow. I surely hope this helps some Michigan farmers as well as the professor of botany in THE MINUTE MEN OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY N APRIL 19, 1775, the American Minute Men met the British on the common at Lexington, Mass., and fired the first shots of the Revolt. tionorme'inpNtection “their-liberty.

Cut when in the signs of Zodiac—it has got to be in June *’ and August, when the sign comes in Leo or heart, and it must be out after the moon has made the change of last quarter and before the moon comes in new in order to make a‘ sure kill, and in the month of June . or August. Notice the sign comes just right in October this year at the between October 6th and 13th sign in heart, but it is not the right month to guarantee a kill, as it is cool and wet, but you can try it as it may do more than I think it will. Hot-dry weather is the best time. Do not overlook the correct time and sign; once will do it. Mrs. Cook, common County. In June I see in M. B. F. that a professor wants a date or time to cut Canada thistles to kill them. There is no date but I believe there is a time and . I will give the time and the only time, if there is a time exists, June 12 to 24. Weather conditions must be considered, the stem must be young and tender, which it is at thisrtime of year. Must be hollow, my theory, the sun or elements dry up the stem and kill the plant. My preference of time is 16 to 18. I mowed a ten acre field cutting the thistles above the oats. There was a large patch of thistles 17$ to 3%. acre in spots. The oats could not be seen for thistles. These oats came on fine but the thistles never came back only what I think came from seed in the ground. One year later I cut a piece where the thistles were so thick that stock, sheep and cattle would not enter. I cut this 3,5 acre, June 18th and we never saw any of them since and we have raised beans and hay on the ground. As soon as the stem begins to harden it is too late as the sap will then follow the bark and sprout up. In conclusion I would say the plant must be young and hollow, that the sun or wind, which ever it is, can get at it, rainy weather is excluded. I have never followed this up from year to year but I am 66 years old and with a good experience in most plant life and a great observer. If this is use- ful you may give it to him. -—W. H Young, Shiawassee county Out in August Advice for getting rid of Canada thistles: cut them in August when the sign is in the heart, 16-18. The same applies to a tree girdling. If tree is cut down at this time the stump will never sprout.———Mrs. R. J. G., Berrien County. Plowed and Worked Soil Being a Michigan farmer I wish to state of the most perfect job I have ever done in the destruction of Canada thistles on a four acre field. When I bought my farm I knew very little about the field pests, coming here from another 'state where very few if any thistles grew. Not know- > ing much about the character of the thistles the first spring I moved on , the place I plowed this piece of land and sowed to cats, seeding to red clover. I really got a good stand of Canada thistles, about half crop of ’ oats, and half stand of seeding. This looked very discouraging but it just put me to thinking. Well, the next summer, I mowed the field, thistles - and clover, when the clover was in , full bloom and the thistles not in ‘ bloom but I noticed the stems of the thistles were hollow when the stub— ble showed the dead-est asea stubble always will within a few days after being cut. I plowed this field four inches deep, sharpening the point and . making sure I cut at every plant at : this depth. Within a few days I be— gan with a spring tooth barrow hav- ing it at same depth as I plowed. l L harrowed it several times then about ‘ the middle of August I an!

OWNW ND.- EDITED ,N, . .MICHIGAN- .— éd Bi-Weekl at _ Clemens. Mich can . Over 10 N the cut-over land of northern Michigan, clover of one or more species is a volunteer crop. It may be found throughout this re- gion in greater or less profusion. This fact is a blessing to the man of small means who acquires eighty acres or a quarter section in this country, for with a few dairy cows he is enabled to derive a steady and regular income from his herd while the land is being cleared and made ready for cultivation. After a sufficient acreage has been cleared and stumped, the land is put in readiness to produce its first hay crop and Mammoth clover, as a rule, is seeded. In the years following, dependence is placed on one or more of three clovers for a hay or seed crop—Mammoth, Medium Red or Alsike. Since practically all the volunteer clover is one or another of these three, farmers rightfully feel an assurance that by seeding these they can be fairly sure of a crop. However, while these three clovers yield good hay crops, and, at timeS, very satisfactory seed crops, there is a very strong likelihood that by de- pending solely upon these three le- gumes farmers in this region are not profiting to tne extent that they might if they gave a fair trial to one or more other legumes. They might find that the latter would yield larg~ er hay crops of better quality, more pasturage, or more cash revenue from the seed crop. A number of farmers in this sec« tion have made thorough trials in growing hairy vetch, alfalfa and sweet clover, with excellent and most gratifying results. These farm- ers are still very much in the minor- ity. Needless to say, there have also been failures of trials with these le- gumes. These failures may have been due to improper methods of soil preparation, soil lacking in one or more essential elements, seed that was not suited to this section, had not been inoculated or proved to be of inferior quality, or any of several other factors. What Salisbury Did Here is an instance of what may be done through proper methods and good seed, strong of vitality, even . a a ESS FARM ER ' - Title Registered U. s, Patent Ofiico SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1928 M.

Salisbury produced sixty-five and a half bushels of sweet clover seed that sold at $8.50 per bushel trom a six-acre field on his farm up in Iosco county, Michigan, he proved to his neighbors‘tha't this legume could be a very profitable crop in their section, even on light sandy soil. He showed them, fur- thermore, that to grow the legume most successfully two prime essen- tials must be observed—inoculated seed and soil with sufficient lime content. . p The six-acre field which made the above seed production was very light sandy soil, a soil very common in this region. Corn had been grown on it the year before it was seeded to sweet clover. In the fall after the corn had been cut, shocked and stored in the barn, the ground was _thoroughly disked and the following spring it was again given a. good disking. A good bed was thus pre- pared for the seed. There is a heavy deposit of marl in a small lake on the Salisbury farm. In fact, many of the lakes in this section have a marl, bed and much of the marl shows, through analysis, a high lime content. An analysis of the marl in the Salisbury lake showed a lime content of 93 per cent. A ton of the marl per acre was spread on the field and worked in. Though much of the newly cleared land here contains sufiicient lime, Salisbury applied the marl be- cause this field had been cropped for a number of years. Salisbury then sowed a peck each of spring wheat, hairy vetch and white sweet clover on this field. The wheat produced a poor yield, mak- GETTING READY TO DEMONSTRATE MOLE DRAINAGE Mole drainage is not a. new discovery. Over a. hundned years ago farmers in England knew about it but little was done until since the W'orld War. In this country the farm engineering department of the Michigan State College, under the direction of Prof. H. H. Musselman, has taken the lead in carrying on experimental work. Up to this year they have confined most of their experimenting to the upper peninxsula where it has been so successful that they are now trying it in several counties in. southern Michigan. in conjunction with it. It is not intended to take the place of tile drainage but works very nicely Here is the tool or “plow" used. As the tractor moves ahead the blade with its point is allowed to outset the ground to a depth of about two feet. Back of the point is dragged a. plum-shaped. iron ball on a short piece of chain. The point makes an opening in the ground and the iron ball packs the dirt firmly on all sides, leaving a round hole. Some Interesting Facts Regarding the Modern By MRS. CLAUDIA BETTS, Hillsdale County . HE interest in milk goats is growing very rapidly and de- servedly so for they seem to be the solution of the question of the family supply of pure milk. One of the first.questions usually asked us is, “Isn’t the milk strong in flavor?" I usually bring a tea- spoon. and the basin of milk and tell them to taste it. The answer is al-' most invariably, “Why, I wouldn’t {know it from rich Jersey milk if you didn’t tell me.” It has a velvety feeling on the tongue due to the mineral salts and has ten times the amount of iron found in cows milk as well as many of the essential vita- mines which. cow’s milk lacks. These are some of the reasons why it is so beneficial. The fat globules are only one half the size of those in cow’s milk, are more delicate, do not rise as quickly and the cream is white instead of yellow. The milk usually tests-very high. It is alkaline in its action instead of acid as is cow's with. It remains sweet longer under the same conditions, forms tiny flakes instead of large curds in the sinned! and digests in one third of the time. f - ., ”the doe iopractically odorless but new at can be me _ y»:- about the male, especially during the breeding season.

One spring We had ten kids from four does, two sets of triplets and two pairs of twins. The does can be bred twice a year, spring and» fall, but we think it is better to prolong the milking period and have them freshen only once a year.

The wheat—vetch-sweet clo« ver straw provided excellent feed for the sheep through the winter. The sweet clover made a very heavy growth the second year, and, when cut with a grain binder, Salis- bury found that he could cut only a two-foot swath. Some idea of the heavy stand of the legume may be gained from the fact that it required five and a half pounds of twine per acre to bind the bundles. The cat- tie and horses cleaned up the sweet clover straw stack during the winter. Got Started Accidentally It might be said that Salisbury got ‘ started growing this legume acci- dentally. One year he purchased a bushel. of alfalfa. seed and after it‘ was seeded and began growing he noticed, here‘and there, a. number He kept an eye on these few plants, noted the thrifty growth they made, and saved the seed from these few plants. The next year, this seed was sown in a small plot by itself and the seed obtained from this plot supplied th seed for the six-acre field. . “Procure seed from as near your locality as possible,” says Salisbury. "The nearer your farm that seed was grown, the better it will grow in your fields.” Salisbury was careful about inocu- lating his sweet clover seed. He made a flour paste, stirred in it soil taken, from around the roots of the plants in the small plot, and then thoroughly mixed this soil with the seed, so that each individual seed had some of this individual soil ad- hering to it. Salisbury says sweet clover made an. excellent and abundant pastur- ' age, and bay of good quality if cut when, not too high and rank. By growing Mammoth and Alsike clover, alfalfa, hairy vetch and, lastly sweet clover, Salisbury has done much to help in spreading the gospel. of growing more legumes and more varied legumes in his section of the country. Milk Goat not freshen until a year later. From six to eight goats can be; kept on the same feed as one cow. She has one calf a year. Compare that with the number of offspring the goats will have in a year and you see something of the possibilities of the business from a financial; stand-point. They should be fed much the same as a cow, only at smaller amount, and the feed should always be clean for they are very, fastidious in that particular. We do not allow the kids to run with the doe but remove them at once, if possible, and feed from a. basin. They will learn this very, quickly.

Now father is old and feeble, and they'take advantage of him, as both he and Mother saw them over in the field with a team and. wagon, but Father was sick at the time and OU would have a right to recover , from this man for the value of the corn which you had har- vested and left on the place.

OR more than 16 years Champion has led in spark plug development and that is why today it is accepted as the better spark plug and outsells through— out the world two to one. Today, more than ever be fore, Champion leadership stands unchallenged. For Champion is of two- piece, compression tight construction, with a new solid c0pper gasket seal. Its insulator is of sillimanite, a rare mineral of which Champion controls the only known source of supply. This insulator-is specially heat treated to withstand the greater compression and higher temperatures of the modern engine. It is practically unbreakable and greatly resists carbon formation. driving conditions is assured by the special analysis elec- trodes, which greatly resist pitting and burning. For these reasons you can buy dependable Cham- pions with every assurance of better engine operation and greater car satisfaction, as do two—thirds of motor‘ ists the world over. ““951 TOLEDO N 0.

Why , I have just re- cently ceased to think of the 1927 State, Fair, and the good time we all had, as being just a few days ago and lo, 1 pick up a paper and read an ad- vertisement telling all about the 1928 State Fair! t t i A Hundred Years One of the oldest villages in Mich- igan is located not far from us. June 28th, it celebrates its one hun- dredth birthday. Seems one hundred years is a long time, but one hundred years like these last few have been isn’t very long at that. But speak— ing of. this Centennial Celebration, this town. Jonesville, is what might be called a residential town. This means a town of homes, and homes mean places of abode—places to live. That is the ideal town, for where people make homes their specialty and live the life villagers live, they have a fellowship or communion which great industrial centers do not have. When Beniah J ones wandered down the old Indian trail one hundred years ago and found .a. litle stream crossing his path, he allowed it would be a good place to stop for a day or two. Before he decided to go any farther another family came along and stopped beside him. They didn’t know it then, but soon found out a village was being formed—— J onesville would be the proper name, for the Jones family had permanent- ly located. Day by day the number of covered wagons that ' passed through the hamlet increased, many of these covered wagon people were from New York. and all were from the East. Some thought Michigan was far enough “west" for them, but many wanted to go farther on and at wast investigate the land far- ther west than the territory known as Michigan. Following the old In- dian trail as it curved around a large hill here, and bent the other way to go around a lake over there, they found the point of a really truly big lake was causing the trail to curve a little farther south. At intervals of eight or ten miles all along this trail they found that settlers had formed little groups which were to become villages and cities. But on the point of this big lake was a. little larger village caused by another trail or two striking it because ,of its loca- tion. Chicago, yes that was what they called it, and those returning spoke of it as such, and to inquiring travel— ers told them to follow the trail if they wanted to go west, follow it to Chicago. So the old Indian Trail was soon known as the Chicago Trail, and weeks and months and years soon passed and found this trail had been improved 'n many places be— cause of the s ge coach travel. which had become so heavy on it. Improved roadways Were called pikes and so the old Indian trail was called the Chicago Pike, and today, it you would enjoy motoring across sohthern Michigan, the most pictur- esque and interesting drive would be on U. S. 112. Don't be in a hurry—— take your time—om at some of the old taverns and visible your mind, with the- peopie who tmdod Michi- gan.

One hundred years, yes, it is quite a while, but it isn’t so long - after all. ‘ These Jonesvilie people are enter- taining old friends and all who will stop the maddening rush of the day and deejay with them the thoughts ot. yesteryear. Suppose it were possible for some of these old settlers to be *present at this 100th anniversary. Would they recognize that wonderful pavement as ‘the old Indian Trail? What would be their thought as a roaring speck comes into view tar up in the air, so high it sometimes is hidden by clouds, and as it gets near- er and nearer it begins to descend and lo, it alights like a giant bird.

As it stops in the street beside them and they behold no visible signs of loco- motive power, could you induce then to step into it for a ride?

A CON-m FOR YOUR PICNIC FARMERS' picnic would not be complete without a ball game and a horseshoe pitching contest but there generally is time for con- tests of other kinds if anybody can think of some good ones, especially if they are new to the group. For that reason the novelty contest being sponsored by the American Steel and Wire Company should prove popular. They are furnishing a seriea of prizes for driving Banner Steel Posts with a driver which consists of a metallic cylinderwith a heavy weight on top.

One cent less than a dime, yet it has made an immeasurable difference in life as it is lived on the farm or M. H. Bowman, 22 miles north of Grand Rapids, Mich. The nine cents covers the daily operating cost of an individual farm electric plant which Mr. Bowman has been using for 11 years. Mr. Bowman believes he gets his money's worth from his daily invest- ment of less than a dime for better living. For that sum he gets elec- tric lights in his home, his barn, and three other farm buildings. Hi- home also benefits with a vacuum cleaner and an electric iron, oper— ating oh? the electric plant. “No place else on my farm can I get so much service, or so much con- tentment and Convenience, as I do from electricity," Mr. Bowman de- clared recently. “I installed my electric plant in J un-e. 1917 ,whic-h makes it 11 years old this year. Before getting elec- tricity, we used kerosene lamps. It has been so long now since I’ve tried living with a coal oil lamp that it isn’t anything but a memory—and a rather unpleasant one. “My first set of batteries lasted _ seven years. The generating unit is still as good as new. ‘ The first brushes I have ever installed were put in n week ago! ‘ .. “I couldn't be without electricity a minute. It comes to play each a part in a person’s lite that it is sim- ply impossible to put-a money value on all the services it can give a farm. both inside and. outside the home. The loo-tort and pleasure it hues cannot be computed in honey alone. I harsaerer eat a dollar in anything in the way of tam equipment that , V ' gives as much‘ satisfaction as my electric plant.” Mr. Bowman farms 160 acres which he owns, and also works an additional 280 acres. His home is a modern attractive dv'zelling which would do credit to the best resi- dential streets of a city. The 'big barn is well painted—in fact, the entire Biowman farm gives an im- pression of being well groomed. The impression persists even after dark. Then broad beams of light shine from the big windov‘ts of the home. and the other farm buildings, are alight while indoor work goes ahead, uninterrupted by darkness.——S. M.

CORN BOILER WORK EAR EDITOR: _I am enclosing a copy of a resolution presented by Senator Norman Horton at ' the last meeting of the Lenawee P0- mons. Grange and we would like to have you publish it in Tun Bcsmnss Funnier—0. E. Yentler, Secretary, Lenaweo County Pomona Grange. Resolution ‘Whereaa we realise that Act 5 Public Acts of 1921' was passed on the following assumptions: ‘ “I. That the European corn borer was a. very probable menace to American agri- culture: "2. That from current thought and in- vestigation. ‘quarantinas and the cleaning up of possible harboring places or the corn borer were of vital importance in a. control campaign : "3. That the problem was neither a local one not one for which farmers in the infested areas should be made to as- sumo full responsibility and cost: 9‘4. That Congress and the federal de— partment of Agriculture realised the na- tion-wide menace and responsibility, and that Congress should provide funds for at least partly compensating farmers in the infested area for their extra labor; and “Whereas the last Congress has refused to appropriate funds to be used in such compensation and the willing co-operation of farmers has been lostkby this refusal; therefore, be it “Resolved: First, that Act 5 Public Acts of. 1927 granting police powers to the state and federal departments of Agri- culture should be repealed unless Congress appropriate the necessary compensation funds; and second, that copies of this resolution be sent to the Secretary of Ag— riculture of the United States,. the Com- mlssioner of Agriculture of Michigan, the Adrian Dally Telegram, the Michigan Patron, the Grange Promoter. the Michi- gan Farmer and the Klehigsn Business Farmer.” “WWW!!!” EAR EDITOR: I recently noticed a letter in M. B. F. signed by “A Subscriber. Shiawassee Coun— ty,” in which the party asked me to answer some questions. First, the party claims he once belonged to what was “supposed" to be a real tarmers‘ organization and he now wants to locate it, etc. and get in touch with some of its local oflficers. For his information and that of others I may say that this organiza- ‘ tion to which he refers is known in in fact as the Michigan_ law and Sugar Beet Growers’ Association. This organization was incorporated under the Michigan laws; was ofiicered by some of the best farmers in Michi- gan: had at one time over 10,000 paid-in members organized in 132 local organizations. The subscriber asks what was the trouble with this organization and where has it gone. I regret to an- swer, but suggest that it has gone to the same place that all of us in- dividual farmers are headed for if we continue to buck, unorganized, the conditions brought about since and during the war by organized cap- ital and industry protected by a high term and organized labor protected by existing immigration laws and sell our products for prices made in Europe. What was the trouble with the or- ganization, he tasks as a farmer. I » blush with shame when I answer this question. Do you know over 5,000 members by actual count met in a state meeting called by the organiza- tion at Saginaw and stood up and held up both hands and voted 3. beet strike, declaringrthey would grow no L beets that year unless they got what they asked or a. conference with the. manufacturers. What happened? Well, many did but here are the facts. Michigan f never grew over 150,000 acres 0! beats any year before that year when they grew 173,099 acres or beets in the State. Some grew out of pure ' cussedness that year and never grew any since. Many swallowed, hook, and sinker, the various baits held out that year to break the or ' ' What can an organization do under such conditions? Will farmers stick together any I don’t know. It the farmers really wanted to they could whip this old organizatIOn into line and into». real fighting machine in L . x. 48 hours. But who wants to put any- thing across that the farmers will not stand back? Yes, Brother Subscriber, you are lost and your flock has been com- pletely scattered by the wolves that are devouring us economically asiny dividuals.

L. F. and Mr. J. M. Davis had to say in “What, the Neighbors Say," I cannot resisti writing a letter too. Mrs. J. L. F. says that “those that are not making good on the farm are loafers and misfits.” That may be so in many cases, but I cannot but believe that there is something else wrong also. I know many farmers who up until. the last seven or eight years, were; prospering, and who are known as good hard working farmers, but now_; their farms are going backward. Buildings need paint and repairs, fences going down and tools getting worse for wear. I know that this neighborhood is no exception, as you ‘ cannot help but see the same thing in any direction you may drive. ~F'arms have no sale value, no one wants them at any price. 011 the other hand, the “mllllon-' alre” class has increased 600 per cent in the last eight years, and all industrial stocks have doubled, and some of them many times. in value : What is causing‘ during that time. it all, I believe no one can tell, but some of the things we can all see. such as an unfair tariff, grafters in ofllce and tax exemption bonds, throwing an unjust tax upon real estate. I believe the auto and trac- tor have a lot to do with it, by caus- ing a surplus. Many thousands of acres that were once used to gI‘OW‘ feed for the good old horse of the farm and city, are now growing crops to help create a surplus. Time, per‘ haps, will even things up to some ex- tent, but in the mean time, we “loat- ers” and “misfits" have got to dig up the money to build these roads for those that do really amount to something—G. L. P., Elsie, Mich. PHEASAN’IS DESTROY CORN EAR EDITOR: 'I have just been reading the letter from “Mrs. J. C. L., Ingham County," re- garding the pheasant, in the May 26th issue, and I want to say she expresses the opinion of most farm- ers. They are the worst pest a. farm- er has to deal with. We had three acres of corn, finest piece in the neighborhood. and they destroyed it all. They not only ate the corn but broke the stalks down just as tur- keys do. Three years ago we had a large flock of quail but now we have none, the pheasants killed them. They come right up to the house and de— stroy our wheat. If it were our hens we would wring their necks but the pheasants we must not touch. We must wait for the lawless to come and get them, and when they will break the law in one way they will in another so our' cattle and sheep are not safe and our fences are bro'k- en down, so the farmer gets it both ways. It the hunters want game why not buy some land and raise their own pheasants and not expect the farmer to raise and feed them. The pheasant and the hunter are more pests to the farmer than the corn borer because we have no right to wage war against mum—firs. P. W.. Inlay City. lion.

For years we have made it a practice. to cele- brate this national holiday on the . farm by eating our first new potatoes for dinner. I am afraid they will be rather small this year, but I am going to dig some of them never—the—less if I ’can find them. We have made it a practice. for so many years that I don’t want to break the custom if 1’ can prevent it. New potatoes, V. 0. Britain well browned, with yOung fried chicken served in a like fashion with plenty of chicken gravy is my favor- ito dinner for the fourth; and when I say dinner I mean 12:00 o’clock noon by the sun. Then I like a good old fashioned strawberry short cake like mother used to make—long on the berries and short on cake—for desert. I am part German, but I don‘t want beer for my drink. Give me Lindberg’s favorite drink: milk, and plenty of it fresh from the cow, and I am satisfied. The farm is a mighty fine place to live when meal time comes around. 0 O . Spraying Potato Bugs The first potato bugs also appear about this time and every farmer should know a good treatment for spraying potato bugs. When I was a lad I used to pick these creatures With. a pail and shingle, but I hope no farmer of today will be guilty of asking the boy to resort to this an- tique method. These bugs are easily controlled by keeping the vines cov- ered with poison spray. The poison should he applied as soon as the young bugs hatch. We have used sev- eral poisons on Spring Water Farm, but have secured the best results with calcium arsenate. One pound oi calcium arsenate to 30 gallons of water is the proper mixture to mix the spray. When this mixture is sprayed over the vines, the bugs soon leave for their “happy hunting grounds.” If you are spraying the potatoes for leaf hoppers or blight with Bor- dcau mixture, the calcium arsenate may he added to the Bordeau mix- ture and all put on in one applica- tion. The mixture. in such instance is the same: 1 pound of calcium ar- senate to 30 gallons of Bordeau mix- ture. II! It =8 Butter from Denmark Some. time ago I read an article which stated that three million pounds: of butter had been shipped into New York from Denmark and that this competition was tending ’to lower the price ofour butter here in this country. I couldn’t see how this could be. true because there is a tar-id on butter of 12c per pound and I know that we shipped high protein feed to Denmark and other foreign countries. I could not understand haw they could buy pur feed for their cows and then in return sell us their butter after paying us a tariffi of 12c per pound. .After looking up a few statistics I found the answer to the question. The average cow in this country produces less than 4,000 pounds of milk. It is necessary for us to feed two cows or better to pro— duce the milk of one cow in Den— mark. Here is a lesson to the Amer— ican or Michigan farmer: breed and feed better, higher producing cows and weed out the scrubs and board— ers. . 3k 1!

Seleot Seed Oats and Wheat The time of year to select the seed 'oats and’ wheat for next years crop is now—when this year’s crop is har- vested. On Spring Water Farm it is always a practice to select the best part of the wheat or cats field for seed. This portion is carefully rogued: all weeds taken out and the crop closely inspected. It is then properly dried before threshing. The grain is then threshed separately , county, . , properly stored for future use. This system takes very little extra time and the results more than pay for the time taken.

His ,back,,had not. bothered him in the least in the preliminary rides but the finals came late in the second day and he was far from fresh. Swanzee and the Oregon man came before Doug. Swanzee made an all but perfect ride on Bad Med- icine, but Star Gazer lived up to his name and gave the Oregon man a close up view of ' the constellations. Doug waited with outward calm while they saddled Catapult. Inside raged tur- moil. He was not thinking now of putting on an exhibition. He was thinking only of riding Catapult. He was hardly con- sclous of the sea of faces that were turned towards the arena, or the great subdued rmurmur that emanated from a host of people waiting in suspense for such a show "that this crowd knew was coming. "Doug Summers on Catapult," bellowed the announcer, and threw his megaphone fariout into the arena. People that saw that ride still talk about it. It beggared description. But Doug sat thru what seemed to him ages of thunderbolt crashes. Crash upon crash they came, until the whole universe seem- ed to explode in a white brilliance shot thru with red. When it did finally come to an end he did not know whether he had won or lost, did not know whether he was forking a bad horse or holding down a cot in a hospital. In fact, after Catapult stopped, spent and heaving, his legs spraddled widely to remain erect, Doug sat there and gripped the saddle with his knees and stared, stonelike, at nothing. He sat there until they took him bodily from the saddle and led him before the judges' stand. There, when a thousand dollars in gold was counted into his hand, Doug recovered sufficiently to realize that he had won, that he had ridden Catapult. After he had gotten away from them, Bert Miller, who owned Catapult, came around. "Like to sell you that horse, Summers," he said. “He'll never be in the bad horse class any more—not after that ride." “How much?" asked Doug, suddenly desirous of owning him. “A hundred bucks buys him," said Miller. Doug promptly passed over five double eagles. “Hope you have luck with him," said Miller, as he pocketed the money. “Believe I will,” grinned Doug. “He ought to make a first-rate cow horse." A moving picture man approached him and offered him a contract at an attract- ive figure. Doug was not tempted at all. Home he tarted, home he was going. “Not ju tinow." he decided. “I’m going up home. i i'll let you know later." Home! “He grew more anxious all the time, and more finicky. He was wonder- ing how they would receive him, wonder- idér‘", ' a“ trace of r5- ing how Mary would receive him. He de- ' cided that it might have been best, after all, if he had broken his back clean in two. At the station he discovered that he would have to pay practically carload rates to ship Catapult and that the slow freight consumed more than two days on the 200 mile pull. “If it’s just a horse you’ve got," said the agent, well acquainted with the country and cowmen in general, "why don't you ride him in? It’s only a little over a hundred miles the way you make it horseback. A good horse can almost make freight train time.” “By gummy!" exclaimed Doug, struck by the idea. “Why not? Much obliged to‘ you.” He bought a blanket roll and a small mess kit, and a revolver for grouse, and left the same day riding Catapult. Cata- pult, like most really bad horses. after being once ridden, proved most tractable. He learned fast and gave no indication of reverting to the bad horse state. He was a powerful horse, too, and ate up distance as mechanically as a machine, Before the day was out Doug was on very good terms with him.“ He made forty or fifty miles that day and camped almost on the very peak of the divide near Berthoud Pass beside a huge snow bank, some of which he melted for drinking water. Herbage was scant there and Catapult fared poorly but was eager for the trail at daybreak next day. In taking a short cut, Doug got off the main trail about noon and got into rough country, but managed to keep his direc— tion sense and bored straight on thru westward. He came into still rougher country after a time, where there were no signs of habitation whatever. He rode until dusk, then ran square into a four- wire fence. A fence, he reasoned, must mean a house some place, unless it was a drift fence, and he knew this one wasn't that because he came Onto it at a corner. Drift fences didn’t have corners, he knew; so he sent the tired Catapult along it with a revived spirit. He heard cattle bellowing after a time and presently made out their forms inside the fence. Presently he came to a little cabin, all but cOncealed in a clump "of Jack pinea. ’ z p . There was noillght in the cabin and‘no signs of life about. Doug led Catapult thru a gate in the fence and rode up to the cabin and knocked without dismount- ing.

Accompanied by Doug Summers, an orphan who has lived with the family for many years, they located in Colorado. Doug and Mary plan to wed but times are hard for the first couple of years and Doug suggests that he is going to earn some money riding wild horses. The, Muirs do not approve and Doug leaves home. - After riding several horses suc- cessfully he has a chance at “Catapult," the one horse that even the best riders of the country had not been able to conquer. He is thrown the first time but he determines to try again for the purse of $1.000 odered. Back on the Muir ranch they are losing cattle and they suspect thieves. One day Terry discovers a couple of men from a neighboring ranch branding some of their cattle and when he tries to capture them he gets the worst of the deal. Harvest is upon them with Doug away and Terry Just getting around and 800 acres of grain to put up. In the meantime Doug get- well- from his fall and goes to Denver to He made out the outlines ,of a shed a few rods away and rode towards it. A horse whinnied as he approached and he found two animals secured there. He had watered Catapult a few miles back, and now he dismounted, unsaddled, secured him and gave him a feed of the oats which he carried in his saddlebags. He reasoned, as he turned back towards the house, that there must be somebbdy about, else why the horses? Probably asleep and his first knock had not awak- ened them. Back at the cabin. he knocked more loudly this -time, using the butt of his revolver. He knocked again and listened. He could hear some sort of movement in- side, and so stood waiting. Some one was crossing the floor, but slowly, hesitat- insly. Doug stepped back as the latch rattled and the door swung open slowly. A man stood swaying in the door. “Who is it?" he said. in hardly more than a whisper, then pitched forward and would have fallen on his face had not Doug caught him. Doug carried him inside, placed him on a bunk in the meagrely furnished room and lighted a lamp. Spence Lossing it was, his face white as milk, and with an ugly hole clear thru his body. A rough bandage had been rigged to stop the blood flow, evidently by Lossing himself. But even Doug could see that he was done for. As Doug straightened up and glanced about the room he saw another form sprawled on the floor, almost in the cor- ner. The manner in which the 'man lay left no doubt in Doug’s mind.

For two years Czechoslovakia has carried on an agricultural radio pro- gram inspired by the United States Department of Agriculture’s pioneer work in broadcasting weather re- ports, market news, and farm educa- tional programs. ' Now French governmental author- ities are developing plans for a” farm broadcast schedule from government- controlled stations in Paris. Pref. Bernard Trouvelot of the National School of Horticulture at Versailles recently conferred with Morse salie- bury, chief of radio service in’ the Department of Agriculture," up'on methods of organizing and present- ing educational radio programs for farmers and home makers. It is probable, Professor Trouvelot said, that the French farm broad- casting service will provide reception facilities for farmer listeners as well as prepare the talks and do the broad- casting. Because of the present small number of radio receivers in rural France the government probably will set up receivers at central points in the villages so that the peasants may gather in groups to hear the farm broadcasts.

"Chal's easy on trigger," explained Los- slng. “It was either me or him. ' It turned out to be both.” He sank into a kind of a coma after that but aroused to say, “Your cattle are in this pasture. I fenced it last fall." He never spoke after that, and Doug noticed that after a while he no longer breathed. It was a long vigil for Doug. With two dead men for companions he was far from comfortable. Never had he wel- comed the dawn as he welcomed that dawn, and never had he soon the sun glint on Pyramid Peak half so gladly. For there. ten miles or so off to the right. reared old Pyramid's unmistakable needle point. . Doug knew that the closest habitation was beyond it. "their‘ own ranch. And he wondered how Terry and Mort could have missed this place had they ridden very‘ far in search of the cattle. Had he known‘ that Terry was even now scarcely able to walk and Mort busy with the work of . three men, it would have been clearer}. and that Ranger Kane had devoted his search almost entirely to the outside—- who would have expected to find ‘theso' cattle right under their very noses? Doug didn’t bother to eat that morning. He didn't have time. He knocked down half a dozen posts and began rounding up. those cattle. Prime and fat they were. all wearing the Bar Box X brand. Even knowing that every one of those brands had been changed, Doug could see nothing wrong with it. The hides would show, he knew. A cow has as strong a homing instinct as a pigeon. When Doug rounded up that bunch and started them towards the gap on the left of Pyramid, they made for it as eagerly as if they were called by some one at home. It was no trouble at all to keep them moving. They crossed the gap at noon and far below him, Doug could see the clustered bunch of the Bar Z Bar ranch buildings. He could make out the light gold of the grain field and a black dot which he knew was the binder, busily harvesting it. The cattle fiowed down the slope like water. Doug set Catapult on the trail and forgot them. He knew they would take the shortest route down. Mort was struggling with the refractory binder when Doug rode up on him una- wares. He was tearing matted grain out of the elevator and sWearing. It appear- ed, from his talk, that the binder didn't elevate well, didn't tie well, ‘and, taken as a whole, wasn't worth much. Mort was so busy swearing and tearing grain from the elevator that Doug rode up. dismounted and clapped him on the back before he know anyone was about. Mort stiffened, threw up his hands and turned two wide, startled eyes about. Then he let out a great whoop and grab. bed Doug around his neck. “You son of a gu‘n !" he whooped. “Just in time! I can't do a thing with this cussed binder. Hey! Terry!" he shouted. facing a shade tree that stood some dis- tance away, “look who's here, Terry!" ’ Terry arose and, recognizing Doug, came with what speed he could muster. “What's the matter with him?” Doug asked anxiously, watching his uncertain steps. “Has he been sick?" “Messer put a hole thru him that you could ram your fist in," exaggerated Mort. "But you can't kill that kid. No more than they could you," he grinned. “I knowed that piece in the paper was a. lie." Doug went to meet Terry. Watching them, Mort dug out a villainously dirty handkerchief, blew his nose and cleared his throat noisily. “Terry, old boy," said Doug, huskily. “I'm back." Terry could only wring his hand and. swallow. , "Go on down'to the house," directed Mort. “Guess I can waller along here. the rest of the day." He stared at Cat- apult. . “What horse is that?" he wanted to know suddenly. “You ought to know him," grinned Doug. “You’ve seen him plenty of times." “Well-—-—I'll—be—-dingbustedl" exclaim~ ed Mort. "Next thing, you'll be telling us you found that bunch of cattle Lossing . and Messer run off," he accused. Doug pointed to an old whitefaced cow. which has Just entered the grain field and was devouring it with evident relish. “There's one of them," he said. grin- ning again. “Rest of them are on the way." ‘ Terry looked at him, just the ghost of - a smile on his lips. “You're not kidding us, are you, Doug?” he said. ' . “Nary a kid," replied Doug; "the whole bunch is coming down the slope some- where, straight as a bee line for home, every one of them". Then he told about his, chance meeting with Lossing, and. what had happened. , Mort whistled. , . -_ (Continued in July,215t issge) I wish to thank you for the service‘ you rendered the on cellecting my money from the "company in Chicago.

He hires out to a Kansas - farmer and thus “were set in motion forces and influences that were not .to stop until they had made him a " Methodist bishop. And not then." 'With protracted meetings in the neighborhood, Bonafede began to shine as a singer and personal work- - er. He thought he knew enough set ' religious phrases to tell folks how to get to Jesus: Finally, he is in a Methodist college, gets into the choir, and through strategy wins other per- sonal favors. He becomes a preach- er, wins an oratorical contest, and ' at which time also he gains the favor of Judge Dimont. He plays into the judge’s hands", breaks a formal be- trothal, and marries the judge’s daughter. Through the help of the judge’s influence in church affairs, he manipulates his way into the gen- eral secretarial office and becomes :1 "Purple Emperor brilliant with all the gorgeous potentialities of the . general snperintendency." This keen usurper of special privileges pulls j strings and plays Amen and move- , ments so cleverly that he, finally ' , lands the office of the Bishopric, and . so takes "his place among the fixed , stars of the Methodist fir-mament. He ‘ was Bishop Bonafede, now and for- ever." Time hastens, and America enters the World War. Bishop Bonafede had,“made sure he would have a war ‘oration ready for immediate use . when war was actually declared, and jspeakers were in strong demand.” The speech abounded in the current :phrases of war-.propaganda—"Ger- many, the ravisher of civilization," “baby-killers,” and all the rest. “His engagements multiplied, and of course, the speech made good news- paper copy.” Then the Armistice is signed and Bonafede is in Europe “helping to maintain morale." But his “flamboyant tributes to the never-defeated and ever stainless spirit of America, the apostrophes to the flag and its defenders, the male- ? dictons. on Prussianism—all these ; not only failed to get a hand, but . seemed to produce a mild distaste." ; He returns to America, resumes his, speaking engagements, and finally to {be completely upset. ,He collapses in a baccalaureate addressat his Alma Mater.

Rhoda is born, and the mother passes on, but to leave a fragrant spirit to bless the father and daughter through 'all the years. Bishop Eberle, a fine independent spirit and not overcome by the church machine, be- comes the strong supporter of Peter. But now, what marked the career friend, . Peter- Middleton, "who - Was" all wjool'and a' ‘yard~w1de,” and‘un-' bosoms his heart. He reveals how} his selfdove; his inordinate desire to: gain high church position led to" tricky maneuvers and eventual spiris. tual bankruptcy. He used the church to serve his own vanity. So, under‘ the “cruel and‘ penetrating light” of his baccalaureate te‘xt, “Thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eat thereof," he weakens and withers. He stumbles to humiliating defeat. Guilt slays him in the midst of his address, and he is carried from the platform. Had he been found out? Hardly. His friends said it was due to hard work. So his auda- cious spirit carries him on, and the pages close upon him serving the communion at the Annual Confer- ence. A self-confessed hypocrite is feeding the hungry. And the reader closes the book with a bitter disgust for shoddy religion. , WILL DISPLAY SKILL AT STATE CLUB WEEK ICHIGAN club girls will show their skill with needle and thread at a style show to be held during club week at Michigan State College, July 9 to 13. The garments which will be ex- hibited were made as a part of the project in girls’ winter club work. In addition to this show, there will be «Madmen- ; "it ’Hoaahe his mc'onteasigf iii seeks his'bl’d i : _ i‘e . - . in both boys and girls sections which will determine divisional winners who go to Detroit to compete at the State Fair. ‘ z - . .. -. ‘ The East Lansing camp is one 1 three club camps to be held in the state. Northern peninsula youn - sters gather at C'hatham,_ August I.‘ and a. third camp will be held at Gays- lord, August 13. State club leaders expect 350 club members at the East‘Lansing camp. For the first time, two local leaders accompany the members from each county, and a leaders’ training school will be given during the week. Branches of club work in which contests will be held to determine representatives to go to Detroit are: canning, food study, hot lunch, clothing, livestock, poultry, handi- craft, and health.

No bull should be allowed at large in the barn- yard or field no matter how gentle he may be. but you cannot expect the best from him if he is confined to a small box stall. With this in~ expensive pen recommended by the college he has an opportunity to get plenty of exercise and it eliminates a large share of the danger in handling him. Pens are being built on the following farms: Paul Cridler, Middleville, John A. Smith, Schultz, and Robert Cook, Hastings, of Barry county; H. P. Barringer, and Charles Themm. Armada. Ma- comb county; John Clark, Caro, Tuscola county; Edward Watson, Hemlock, Saginaw county: and J. C. Hollenbeck. Borden county. There will also be one built in Branch county on a. farm to be selected by the county agricultural agent. Visit one of these farms some time this summer if pos- sible, but if you can not then write to either of the departments at M. S. C. for plans and bill of material. Put ’up one of them on your term this year. NEED A BOY THIS SUMMER? E have a letter before us from a 16 year old high school lad who wants a job on a farm for the summer. He lives in Detroit and says he is strong and willing to work for board and room and a small salary. His letter does not state but apparently he has had no experience. However, his statement that he is willing to work would indicate an earnest desire to learn. He ought to make a good boy for some farmer not too far from Detroit. Write the Editor of If.

Helene. former State food and dairy commissioner, who owns a farm in Lenawee county, contended that he could not be forced to allow the State and federal authorities to come on his farm and test his cattle for tuberculosis and he ,filed.a billyof complaint against Herbert E. Powell. State Com- missioner of Agriculture. Mr. Helme contended that the compulsory test of cattle was not justified under the State law. and that the cooperative agreement, which the Lenawee county board of supervisors entered into with the State and fed- eral governments, providing for the tests, did not meet the requirements. of the State law. Fur- ther, he argued the test was not reliable and that the law under which the State commissioner is acting is not constitutional. Judge J. N. Sampson, before whom the case was tried, declared She intent of the law was to ‘ ‘ Tie Business farmer comm-Hutu the lat. sill: not a matter for'the'courtrt'o decide. Citing a Supreme Court decision, he ruled that the con- stitutional provision regarding amendatory pro-‘ visions by' reference must have a reasonable construction. It lea good thing that a case of this kind went to court because there has been some "dl’ssatlsface tion in various parts of the State and now the officials and the farmers have an idea as to where they stand. However, after all no one judge can decide whether or not cattle must be tested for tuberculosis. It is up to the people themselves. the city consumers who buy most of the milk sold in Michigan, and they are demanding that it .he tested. That means a tar-met must keep cows that are tested and accredited it he wants to sell milk. It all farmers refused to have thelr‘oattle tested then the city consumers would have to ac- cept their decision but there are so many who are willing to comply with the requirement that the farmer who opposes it is left holding the bag. MEREDITH IS GONE the passing last weekot Edwin T. Meredith of Des Moines. Iowa, the farmers of this coun- try lost a champion whose place will be hard to fill. When he went into the war—time cabinet. as Secretary of Agriculture under Woodrow Wil- son, he brushed aside cob-wehbed precedents and sought to make the department not only of gen- uine service. but popular with the farmers of this country. As a director of the United States Board of Commerce, he was enabled to represent the farming industry and make it understandable to so—called “big business.” A genuine farmer- boy, he never forgot the hard schooling he re- ceived in the corn—stubble of his native state. But those who knew “Ed" Meredith, and who had tested his friendship over a period of twenty years or more, as I had, came to love a man who stood out among his fellows as a mountain towers above the foot-hills at its base. Never lived a more genuine soul. Hypocrisy was as foreign to his nature as dishonesty. He believed in all men as he believed in himselt. Success was but the natural evolution of such a life and that it should have been snuffed out at fifty—two, with so many years of rich experience to contribute to the solving of our great national problems, is a loss which will take years to overcome. To we who learned to love him, his loss is simply irrep— arable. . \, BEWARE OF sumo Gm 0T all the takers and shystem are traveling the roads and visiting the homes of farmers. Many of them have games at carnivals and along the midway at fairs held throughout the country where they defraud honest men of thou- sands. ot hard earned dollars every year. The average person is in a carnival mood when they attend fairs or amusement places which makes them easy subjects for shysters with their sup- posedly honest games. In some of the games somebody always wins bu the backers see there is enough money coming in so that they make several hundred per cent on their investment. Other games where the operator plays with one or two people the chance of the player winning is so small that it is almost impossible. How many times have you won? How many times have you seen friends hold the lucky number? Few times we will wager because the operators see to it that most of the winning is done by ac- complices. Experts declare that almost every game can be kept under the operator’s control by some device which prevents an outsider win- mug. Such games do not help the attendance at any fair and should not be allowed on the grounds. In fact the midway as a whole can and will eventually be done away with at our fans. Amuse- ment we must have but let it be clean, honest and free, furnished by the fair itself. THE MCNALLY CAB-E , ANY of our folks may be wondering how the McNally case in Bay county is coming along.

As he was about to leave his truck a fellow drove up with a truck load of tires that were getting a bit this be inquired the price which was about half that quoted by reliable stores for the size he used.

ANNEKE JANS BOGARDUS SOCIETY I am a subscriber to your paper, and I noticed in your May 12th issue an article concerning the Anncke Jens Bogardus Society. Being a member of that society. I wish to correct some errors that appear therein. In the first place, we are not and never were connected with the Ed- wards Society. This is a fictitious society, which has alWays started as soon as the descendants of Anne-kc Jans Bogardus begin to organize. This being a scheme on the part of New York to intimidate the heirs and hinder them as much as possible. In the second place, W. T. Gridley did not organize our present society, and did not enter it until after much persuasion. He promised to publish all the facts and data in book form, and to include in this the history of Anneke Jans Bogardus and her heirs, from the time she first came to New York. In the third place, this property does not belong to New York. I! it did, why did they not produce the papers to show ownership during the eight trials which have already been ' started. and tried in New York? This has been heirship property for over two~hundred years, quit-claim deeds are all they ever had. Our Society is the onlyone that is backed by certified facts and docu— ments concerning the controversy or . the descendants of Anneke Jans Bo- gardus from the time she came to New York until the present time Our present society was formed in 1924; it is merely a book publishing organization to acquaint the public with the injustice done the descend- ants oi Anneke Jans Bogardus. The Postal Inspectors have arrest- ed W. T. Gridley, and he is now out on $10, 000.00 bond. They are try- ing to prove that he is using the mails to defraud. This is merely a scheme to hinder us and discredit our leader. June 12, they are going to have a Grand Jury investigation. We want the public to come and hear it. All we want is justice for our society, so we can go our own way unmolested. I submit herewith a bit of history sent me from the Pension Depart- ment. My great—grandfather, Daniel Denniston married Ann Elizabeth Kersted, the great-granddaughter of Anneke Jane Bogardus. He was an Ensign and Lieutenant, served in ‘ Theodosius Fowler's regiment. Col. Henry B. leingston’s 4th regiment, transferred to Col. Philip Van Cort- land's 2nd regiment. Fought in the Battle of Burgoyne. Monmouth, and Yorktown. Sorted *until 1783.

Wilkins V in terms 3 of canning; ; She spends most 'of "time now {leaning "over " a hot ' , _ fired faced. and perspiring, anx— " 1y watching-the kettle boil. Even sleep is sometimes troubled by earns of—ca‘nning catastrophes. To ten the. housewife’s canning bur- eris home specialists have done a great deal of research work, and {their discoveries go far toward mak- ing success a certainty. _ nowledge we are passing’along to you'here. First of all, they tell us to make closely as we can just how many quarts of each variety of fruits and »vegetables it takes to “winter” our family. In making out this budget, it must be kept in mind that to sup- ply, our bodily requirements some kind of fruit should be served twice a day, and that for dinner and sup- per there should be two kinds of vegetables on the table besides pota- toes. Of course, many of the vege- . tables to be used will be stored or dried, such as turnips, carrots, beets, beans, etc., and this will cut down the amount necessary to can. While it is well to have a plentiful supply of canned goods, one should not put by any more than can be readily used during a year. It is poor econ- omy and efficiency to ,fill so many jars that by the time canning season comes again your cellar shelves are still well stocked. We all know that bacteria are the agents that make food spoil. There- fore, extreme care must be taken in canning to make sure that all bac- ‘teria are killed and the product. is sealed steaming hot within sterile, air—tight containers. The application of heat to foods during canning in ' order to kill bacteria is called pro- ,oessing. Methods of Canning.—-—In the so-called open-kettle method of canning, the mater- ial is cooked directly in an open vessel. The food is then filled into sterilized jars and sealed immediately. The disadvant- ages of this method lie in the necessity for the sterilization of the jars before they are filled and in the danger of con- tamination during filling. There is also danger that air containing bacteria will get into the jars and cause spoilage. The term "cold pac ” is applied to the method in which material is packed cold into a. container and then processed either in a water bath or a pressure canner. The chief disadvantage of this method is that when the food is packed cold a longer time is required for that at the center of the can to reach the right temperature. This is especially true in the case of such vegetables as corn, that are thick and pasty, or those with glue—like juices, for these heat through very slowly. Some fruits may be successfully packed by this method, but the shrinkage is sometimes ' considerable. The advantages of the open-kettle meth- od and any possible advantage of the Untold-pack method of canning are com— bined in the hot pack. Here the material is precooked by heating it in a minimum quantity of liquid until it boils and it is thoroughly wilted and shrunken so as to facilitate packing. The material is then filled into the container boiling hot and processed immediately. Types of. Home Gunners—If you are not one of those fortunate women who own a pressure cooker, you must search serve your purpose. The most common method of processing in home canning is by use of the water bath. A water bath canner may be made from a wash boiler, , bucket, or any vessel that has a' tight a cover and is large enough to hold a con- ‘venient number of jars. It should be . fitted with a rack to hold the jars away from the bottom of the utensil, thus pro- tecting them from bumping or overheating and allowing full circulation of water under them. A wire basket answers this purpose, and also makes it possible to lift a large number of jars in and out of the canner at one time. Such a basket , can be made at home from wire mesh fencing. ‘ ‘Steps in Canning.-—Safe canning re- quires careful attention to every step in the process. fruits and vegetables in prime condition. “Two hours from garden to can” is a good rule. In any case for the best re- sults, material should be canned the same day as it is gathered. Be sure that the containers in which fruits and vegetables 101' canning are gathered and handled are clean. Grade for size and same de- .gree of ripeness, if a uniform product is desired. Wash material thoroughly until very trace of soil is gone. The most dangemus and difficult to kill bacteria is ' the soil. A wire basket is a help in ”thing, but should not be loaded too ”wily. Always lift the material out of m;- rather than pour water 01!. Some of this .

That is life. youth, but greet maturity and age with a smile of wel- come. “Grow old along with me, the best is- yet to be.” Address letters: In case a bushel or more of peaches or apricots is to be canned at one time, they may be peeled with the use of lye, but this method is not justified with a smaller quantity. Be careful in Using lye, especially if children are around, for it is a powerful caustic and serious ac- cidents have happened. Prepare in an agateware or iron kettle, never alumi- num, a solution of one-fourth pound (4 oz. or about 4 level tablespoons) of gran- ulated lye of any standard brand in 2 gallons of water. Heat to boiling, and while actively boiling immerse the peaches or apricots in a. wire basket until the skin is loosened and partially dissolved. This will usually require 30 to 60 seconds. Remove the fruit, wash it at once in running water if possible until skin and lye are removed, and thoroughly rinse the fruit. If still water is used, rinse the fruit in a fresh supply after washing off skin and lye. Fruits and tomatoes may be precooked or not as desired. Other vegetables hould always be precooked to remoye air, to shrink them, to facilitate packing, and to make possible packing in the container at boiling temperature. While the ma- terial is being prepared the jars may be in a water bath to boil. This serves the double purpose of cleansing the jars and heating them, so that they may be filled with the hot material without danger of breaking. Pack the material in the jars.

Syrups.———In canning fruits, prepare in advance the syrup which will be needed. Various concentrations of syrup will be- required. For thin syrup use 1 cup of sugar and 3. cups of water. For medium syrup use 1 cup sugar and 2 cups of water. For thick syrup use 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat sugar and water together and stir carefully until sugar is dissolved and syrup is brought to a boil. Fruit juice may be substituted for the water in the syrup» with marked improvement in flavor. To adjust covers, place rubbers in pos- ition on jars and adjust caps. If the jars are filled with boiling hot material, they may be sealed completely before they are put into the water-bath canner. If the material is not boiling hot when packed, only partially seal the jars when putting them into the water bath for pro- cessing. On the screw-top jar, screw the cap evenly about halfway down. With the wire-clamp glass—top jar, screw the cap on evenly and raise the upper clamp in position to hold the lid in place, leav- ing the lower clamp loose until after pro- cessing. Processing.—With the water-bath can- ner, be sure that the jars are far enough apart and that the rack on which they are supported is so arranged that the water can circulate freely under and around them. Have the water in the canner boiling before putting in any jars. The glass jars must be hot either from I! IRS. DO" I.

APPLES.—-Pare and 0th into sizes ’de-, sired. Boil for 5 minutes in thin syrup. Fill into can hot, cover with boilinghot syrup, and process containers of'all sizes for 5 minutes in boiling water. ' Windfall or green apples may be made into sauce. Pack boiling hot and process immediately .. all sized containers for 5 minutes. BERRIES.—-Can berriesas sOOn after gathered as possible. Sort fruit and use smaller and any imperfect berries for preparation of juice to use in making a medium thick syrup. Wash carefully re-- moving caps and stems. Pack fruit in containers, pressing gently into place; cover with boiling hot syrup. Process quart and pint jars‘ for 20 minutes. sems berries shrink considerably during pro- cessing. This can be prevented by pre~ cooking the berries. To each pound of berries add $4 to 1A pound of ranger-race- cording to sweetness of fruit. Place in a. kettle and heat to boiling, stirring gent- ly, and boil for 5 minutes. Pack boiling hot and process immediately containers of all sizes for 5 minutes. 'CHERRIES.—Pack pitted cherries in hot containers and cover with boiling syrup made from juice which collects on pitting fruit. Use thick syrup for sour cherries and medium for sweet. Process quart and pint glass jars for 25 minutes. 0r pitted cherries may be precooked for 5 minutes with sugar to taste, filled into containers boiling hot, and processed for 5 minutes. - CURRANTS.——Same as berries. GOOSEBERRIES.——Same as berries packed raw, substituting a thick for a medium syrup. PEACHES—Before preparing fruit. make a thin syrup, putting in one crack- ed peach pit for every quart of syrup. Boil for 5 minutes and strain;~ Immerse the peaches in" boiling water for abbut one minute or until skins will slip easily, plunge at once into cold water for a few seconds; remove skins, halve peaches, dis- card pits. Or use the lye solution method of peeling. Pack at once, placing the halves facing downward in overlapping _ layers. Fill’ up containers with boiling syrup. Process quart andfpint jars for 25 minutes if fruit is fairly firm and hard. or for 20 minutes if ripe and tender. PEARS.——Peel, cut in halves, core and cook in boiling medium syrup for 4 to 8 minutes according to size of fruit. Pack the pears hot.into containers and fill them up with boiling syrup. Process contain- ers of all sizes for 20 minutes. PINEAPPLES.—-—Peel and core, remove all eyes carefully. Cut into convenient cross sections, pack into the containers, and fill up with thin boiling syrup; Pro- cess quart and pint jarsl for 30 minutes. PLUMS.—Plums are .usually canned whole, and should beggathered just as they are beginning to 'ripen. Wash and prick each plum to prevent-skin from bursting. Fill into jars and cover with boiling medium syrup. Process quart and pint jars fro 20 minutes. RHUBARB.——Select' young, tender stalks. Trim and wash carefully, cut into one-half inch lengths, pack into the con» tainers, and cover with boiling hot thick syrup. Process quart and pint jars 20 minutes. STRAWBERRIES.——~To each quart of berries add 1 cup of sugar and 2 table-v spoonsful of water. Boil slowly for 15 minutes and let stand overnight in the kettle. In the morning reheat the mixture to boiling, fill into the containers hot, and process all sized jars for 5 minutes. TOMATOES—Select firm, ripe tomatoes of medium size. Do not use tomatoes which are overripe or parts of which are spotted or decayed. Put into shallow lay.- ers in trays or wire baskets and dip in boiling water for about a minute. Re. . move and plunge quickly into cold water for an instant. Drain at once, core and peel promptly. Pack into jars as closely as possible. Fill with 'a thick tomato ’ sauce, with the juice of other tomatoes, or use only the juice which drains from them during peeling and trimming. Sea,- son with 1 teaspoonful salt per quart. Process quart and pint glass jars for 45 minutes. Klever Kiddies I am sending something that I hope you will put in Klevver Kiddies.

Helen Hunt Jackson wrote this beautiful love story of early California years ago, and it has long been a literary favorite: but now Dolores Del Rio, that talented Mexican star, has made it live again for us. Her screen intrepretation of the role of the Spanish and Indian maiden, Ramona, is the work of an art- ist. She is well supported by Warner Baxter, who is Alessandro, the girl’s lover and husband. The story deals with the early persecution of the Indians, and the love of two men for one girl. Aside from the quality of the play itself, the beauty and picturesqueness of the scenic back- ground of the production are enough in themselves to recommend it to the theater goer.

Probably we can tell in the next issue and publish the winning pic- tures at the same time. In the mean- time we will give the winners of the “Descriptive Names of Cities” con- test which proved to be very inter- esting according to the number of answers I received. Thomas Westbrook, R. 7, Ionia, won first prize, a dandy scout knife which he will find very useful. Sec- ond prize, an occasional table, went to Velma Moore, Lake City. Ruth Harper, Lyons, won a pretty picture frame as third prize, while Helen Crane, R. 8, Owosso, received a love- ly purse as fourth. Now 1 will give you the answers to the contest so you can see how many you got right. Here they are: 1, Flint; 2, Portland; 3, Traverse City; 4, Battle Creek; 5, Grand Rap- ids; 6, Jackson; 7, Newport; 8, Saint Louis; 9, Bay City; 10, Port Huron; 11, Ann Arbor; 12, Superior. What ones did you miss out on? Most of the boys and girls found either number 2 or number 8 the stickers. Harbor .Beach was the choice of many for number 2 while St. Joseph was the favorite for num- ber 8. Few had more than two wrong and a large number had only one. Two of the letters were rather un- usual, one being written on birch bark and the other had the pages fastened together with porcupine quills. But now we better have a new con— .test and several have suggested that We have another of our old reliable “Read and Win” contests so here goes. 1. What is it that Mr. Bowman couldn’t do without? 2. How did A. H. Collins win $25. 3. Where can you see fertilizer made? 4. What company thousand inspectors? 5. ‘What is it that the highest heat of the motor cannot break down? 6.

Which do you think is the best advertisement in this issue? Tell why you think so in not more ‘than 100 words. Ten questions to answer and the first four to send in the correct an- swers, including the'page number where answer was found, will get Mystery Prizes. The contest closes July 10th and any letters post- marked later than noon of that day will not be counted, so send your let- ter in just as soon as possible.— UNCLE NED. employs a “for Our Boys and Girls Dear Uncle Nedz—Our president has suggested some very interesting topics to discuss. older person gets intoxicated but it looks terrible when the younger boys get that way. I know some boys that aren’t 16 years of age and they drink like a horse. It doesn’t look so bad when an are spoiled. (the liquor got the but of _ them. My father and none of our-funny 'drink and they get along just as good. even better, than those that drink. It'll just a habit. Some folks say they simply can’t get along without it. I’d be asham- cd of myself if I couldn't control myself. None of those drinkers know what harm liquor does to the body. If they did know the wouldn’t take a. ‘teaspoonful. Now smoking is another bad habit which you can control. None of my fam- ily smokes. -I think it really looks worse for a girl to smoke than a. boy, but it harms both the same. It effects the mind and in fact harms the whole body. Some boys think they are men when they smoke but that is all nonsense. I think if par-J ents would look after their small children this wouldn’t happen many times. _ As for bobbing hair, I don't. say much on that subject because it ,doesn't. harm? the body but it looks real funny on some- people. But rouge and powder are al- most as bad as smoking. They harm the» complexion and cost money. lot of girls would look nicer if they did- n’t use that dope on their faces. I wouldn’t take a. drink, a smoke, or put V rouge and powder on my face. I wouldn’t call our President an old faded wall flow- or because she is right in every way. Come on boys and girls, give your opinions on these topics—John Vloek, R. 2, Box 70, Carleton, Mich. FYour ideas are very good, John—Uncle ed. Dear Uncle Ned z—If Eathel Fay Sharp wants to hear someone’s opinion she can hear mine although it is entirely different from her‘s. I think for the time we are living in she is too old fashioned for me, 100 years behind the times the way it sounds. You read in the paper that the boyish bob was going to be more stylish this summer. Just the same, it doesn’t hurt anybody. The one that doesn’t like it doesn’t have to get it. Isn’t that right, Uncle Ned? As for smoking, the one that smokes doesn't care for his or her health so why should Eathel? Drinking isn’t so bad if the boys like it. Leave them drink, if they get caught it is their own hard luck. The way you talk, Eathel, you wish you were back in your great—grand—parents’ days. I think if I had lived then I would have gone crazy. Just thing, no shows, no dance halls or public parks, no other places of amusement to go to. \Boy, they sure were tame those days. As for me, right now I live ten miles from the city and see two shows a week, go to public dance halls, and am just crazy about jazz music. In the summer time we young people all get together and go swimming in the lake at least two times a week. 1 am also sociable, Eathel, and have lots of friends and boy friends, too, and am not tame and old fashioned like you. I think while a person is young he or she should be full of fun and wild. There is still plenty of time to tame down when you are older. Girls and boys, there is nothing more interesting in your Imuke.‘ life - when you get. aid, in your youth in the” time to enjoy yourself. Come on you old fashioned “kids,” isn’t. it the truth? '_ 89-! “rest." he sports. Let's hear from the rest of you flapper gals—"A 'Wild. Flower' In Full 'Bloom.” e—Who "Wild Flower' may be is a myst- ery to me but frankly I think she has painted herself in much brighter colors than she should in order to stir up some comments. I admit I really like bobbed hair and think it must be a. great relief to girls who have been wearing it long and spending a lot of time doing up their hair. Of course, elderly ladies do not look just right with their hair cut any more than Uncle Ned would, with his long whiskers, wearing the flashy clothes of the young men of today. As for smoking and drinking. I donut think girls should do either and would prefer not to see boys do them, especially- drink. Frankly, I can see no good reason for letting ourselves become the slaves. of. such habits as drinking or smoking. Can you? Good shows are all right and so are public dances if they are properly conducted and girls do- not attend unas- corted. Her idea of there being nothing interesting in life when you are old is entirely wrong. From personal experi-- ence and from observation I know that there is much to enjoy when one grows old. Some day she will» realize that her statement was made without thought.— Uncle Ned. Dear‘ Uncle Nedz—I suppose you do not stand for apologies but I have been so busy I could find no time to write. Say. Uncle, I lost my membership pin in an accident that could not be avoided. Is‘ there any way by which I can get another, either by contest or sending money? Well, I will close or you will get tired of my chatter. Hoping Mr. W. B. had a' good supper from this, I am, your neice, Margaret Collins, Onaway, Mich. —When Mr. W. B. saw your letter write-A ten on the large piece of birch bark he was bound he was going to have it for his supper because he had never eaten any birch bark and he thought it would be nice and tender. And it would be a change of diet for him. That was quite an idea, Margaret, writing your letter on birch bark instead of paper. Just for that I think I will have to send you an- other pin without any cost or extra work on your part. Hope you have better luck with this one.-Uncle Ned.

(All inquiries regarding scouting should be addressed to the Scouting Editor, The Business Farmer, Mt. Clemens, Mich.) TROOP WENT TO PIECES Dear Scouting Editorz—I saw an art- icle in THE BUSINESS FARMER “Scouting for Farm Boys” and so I am writing some personal problems and would like to know if you could help me. About two years ago another boy and I started a Boy Scout troop here. We were going to school when we started it, so we had a meeting every Friday, but during the summer vacation we could not have any meetings, because so many of the boys lived so far apart that they could not get together. The chief trouble was that we did not have the cooperation of the Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. I did my best to hold the troop together, but I did not have enough backing from the others, so it was dropped altogether. Five 01; six would like to carry it on, so when I saw your item in the paper. I decided to start a farm patrol. I would like to know if it isn’t possible for me to find a Scoutmaster, whether I could take charge myself. I am 16 years old and have had some experience in my other trial, so I think I could do pretty well. The others that want to join all like me and wanted me for Patrol Leader in the troop. , Please send me, as soon as possible, directions for starting a Farm Patrol. We take the M..B. F. and like it very well.— Em‘il Comandilla, Wellston, Mich. .--I was interested in your letter about the trouble you had two years ago be keen- ing up your Scout Troop. I am sorry that you did not have a Scoutmaster and As— sistant who -were really interested. If they had really been interested in Scout- lng, they would not have ”allowed the troop to go to pieces. No, it is impossible to form a Scout troop or farm patrol without a Scoutmast- er who is at least 21 years of age. The. Boy Scouts of America has never belived that boys should organize and run their own groups entirely without the guidance and advice of an adult leader. I would advise you to try and interest some teacher, minister, county agent, or the father of one of the boys in being Scoutmaster. A good Scoutmaster is the keynote of any successful troop. You boys might form a group and carry it along for a time, but eventually it would break up if there were no older head to plan out meeting programs, give tests, preserve discipline, and straighten out the many ~problems that naturally come up in the conduct of a Scout troop. Try putting this matter before some men who will get a farm club, grange, school board, church, or other organiza- tion to sponsor Scouting in your neigh- borhood. This group should be instruct- ed to form a. troop committee of three to five men (five for a troop, three for a. farm Patrol), this committee will‘then ap- point the Seoutmaster. .\ ' _ If you do not sowed after trying this plan I have outlined, In! no W'md I will give you another plan. . .

A Game to Play THE liiNnoo MAGICIAN DENTICAL slips of paper are given Ieach player, and each then writes on his piece a short sentence of about four words. The magician collects the carefully folded slips, which no one has seen but the person writing them, and gives them to someone. This person gives one to the magician, who presses it, still folded, against his forehead, with his eyes closed. After a moment’s silence, he says any sentenCe at random, and asks who wrote it. An accomplice, who did not write a sentence (a fact which he carefully conceals), acknowledge it. The magician then looks at the paper os- tensibly to verify it, bUt really to read it. A new slip is then handed him, which he places against his forehead, as before but reads the sentence on the previous paper. A guest, not in the secret, has to admit writing it, and this continues till all the papers are read. The Children’s "Niutlu.

SHEEP GROWERS TOLD TO WATCH PARASITES lookout for stomach worms in their flocks, advises the animal husbandry department at Michigan State College. - Warm, muggy weath- er, with frequent rainfall, is said to be conducive to the development of this parasite in sheep, and heavy losses are likely to occur if precau- tion is not taken. Infestations of stomach worms are said to occur most frequently when sheep are left to graze on the same pasture year after year, although heavy infestations and losses may also occur with the flock on new pas- ture. This is due to the fact that a number of these parasitesimay be carried over in the digestive tract of the breeding ewe, and, in seasons such as the present, may heavily in- fest a new pasture in a single season. The presence of stomach worms in a. flock is indicated by the lambs be- coming dull and listless and the wool dry and harsh. The skin, which should be a bright pink, becomes pale, and the eyelids are pale and colorless when they should be a net- work of bright red blood vessels. Diarrhea is also often present. When any of the above symptoms are present in a flock, or if a num ber of the sheep were not thrifty last season, treatment for stomach worms with copper sulphate is recommend- ed. Full directions for this treat- or from the animal husbandry de- partment of Michigan State College. HOLSTEIN BREEDERS HOLD ANNUAL CONVENTION HE Forty-Third Annual Conven- tion of the Holstein-Friesian Association of America was held in the Hotel Schroeder, Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 5-6. Delegates from forty-six states, the District of Columbia and Canada were present. The first ,day was an open forum day devoted to discussions of various re— solutions and other business matters which were prepared for official ac- tion to be taken on June 6. Vice- President L. M. Thompson of Mon- trose, Pennsylvania, served as chair- man. Mr. Fred Southcott, President of the Holstein-Friesian Association of Wisconsin welcomed the delegates and visitors to Milwaukee and Wis- cousin. The Wisconsin association served as host to the Convention. Plenty of entertainment was furnished. The ladies were taken on sight seeing trips and theatre parties. A “fun frolic" was staged the eve- ning of the first day. All the Holstein fans crowded into the large conven- tion hall and enjoyed the musical and dancing program. One June 6 the convention proper took place. Honorable Frank 0. Low- den, Oregon, Illinois, President of The Holstein-Friesian Association of America presided. Mayor Hoan of Milwaukee gave the address of wel- come. He stressed the importance of waterway transportation with ade- quate docks and municipally owned water fronts. Several minor cha gas were made in the constitution nd by-laws and resolutions passed. The most important action taken by the‘ delegates was authorizing the board or directors to purchase the ofiice of the secretary at Brattleboro, Ver- .mont. Mr. Malcolm H. Gardner, who has served as Superintendent of Ad- vanced Registry for the past twenty- three years resigned his position. Mr. H. W. Norton of Michigan is the new Superintendent of Advanced Regis- try, Delavan, Wisconsin. Mr. Frank O. Lowden was unani- m usly re—elected President, which 0 ice he has held for the past seven years. L.» M. Thompson, Montrose. Pennsylvania, was re—elected Vice- President.. ,New, directors elected were, Martin Buth, Comstock Park, Michigan; F. M. Peasley, Cheshire, Connecticut; and E. S. Hass, Nor— walk, California. H. V. Noyes, Ken- wood, N. Y.; W. H. Mott, Herring- ton, Kansas and Harry Yates, Or- chard Park, N. Y. were re-elected to the board of directors. . The convention next year will be \held in Philadelphia. HEEP raise'rs should be on the, ment may be had from county agents ' Over. four hundred attended the annual Holstein banquet held the evening of June sixth. A. J. Glover, editor of Boards Dairyman, gave the principal address. . At a meetingot the Board of Di- rectors, ‘ Houghton Seaverns' was chosen as the new Secretary or the Holstein-Friesian Association of America. Mr. Seaverns is a nephew of the late secretary Frederick L. Houghton. He has served as assis- tant secretary for several years so is very well qualified for this new posi— tion. The Ninth Co—Operative National Holstein-Friesian Sale was held at the State Fair Grounds, Milwaukee. Wisconsin, June 7th. This sale is an annual affair held in connection with the Annual Convention of The. Hol- stein—Friesian Association of Amer. ica. In the sale there were sold seventy- four head of Holstein-Friesian cattle consigned by breeders from 'twelve OWNED BY A. CHAMPION Whether or not Buster will be a champion steer remains to be seen but if his owner can have his say about it he will be. His owner, Elton Hawkins, of Macomb county, has had the champion steer at the Junior Live Stock Show at Cleveland the last four years, champion Shorthorn at the .State Fair during the same period, and grand champion at Detroit in 1925 and 1926. This fall he is going to take his steer to Detroit to the State Fair and later so to Cleveland. states. Animals were shipped in from states as far east as Massachu‘w setts and as far west as Michigan. The average price received for these seventy—four animals was $567 per head. The sale was attended by over 1,000 enthusiastic Holstein fans gathered together from all over the United States and Canada. Buyers from eleven different states pur- chased the seventy-four animals con- signed. The Wisconsin breeders were the heaviest buyers, taking home with them thirty-three head. FEED FOR LITTLE PIGS Will you kindly recommend a good feed for little pigs when there is not much milk to give them?——W. H., Linden, Mich. ' HERE skim milk is not avail- able for young pi s some other protein feed sho id be pur- chased to take its place. The fol- lowing mixture should prove satis- factory for starting little pigs where skim milk is not available: Corn- meal, 100 pounds; cats, 50 pounds; middlings, 50 pounds; 60 per cent tankage, 25 pounds. In addition these pigs should have access to some simple mineral mix- ture. At present we use the follow- ing: 45 pounds steamed feeding bonemeal, 30 pounds finely ground limestone and 26 pounds salt. They should also be given access to clever . and alfalfa hay in a rack-Geo. A. Brown, Professor of Animal Hus- bandry, M. S. C. ‘ . WOULD NOT CHANGE AMOUNT ’ OF CREAM If fresh milk is stirred while cool- ing and then bottled will as much cream rise on it as on milk that was not stirred?—“F‘riend," Hamburg. Michigan. HE stirring 0t milk before it is bottled wouldkhave nothing to do with ‘the amount of .cream that would rise to, the top of the bottle after the milk ,had been placed in it. .The amount of cream that raises in the milk is dependent upon the amount of'cream in the milk and the process ‘01 stirring would. not change this at all. _ ‘E"Miw€$a~. - are a horse that has had a jack on one hind legI for two years.

You will find some spavins are prac- tically impossible to remove the lameness trons, so do not be disap- pointed it this animal does not go sound in a short time. BUNCIIES IN MOUTH I have a heifer calf that has bunch- es in the back ”of her mouth. Please advise what to do.-—-N. N., Isabella ’ County. WOULD suggest painting this I growth every other day with tinc- ture of iodine for two weeks, then twice each week. Give this calf one-third teaspoonful of potassium iodide dissolved in some water night and morning for not longer than five or six weeks. TREATMENT FOR THRUSII Will you kindly tell me what to do for a thrush in horse’s foot?—-—I. F.. Deckerville, Michigan. VERY good treatment for thrush of the horse's foot is the follow- ing: equal parts of calomel and iodoform. Clean out the cleft of the frog as well as you can and then dust a little of this powder into the cleft and work it in thoroughly with some blunt object and cover with a small piece of cotton to keep out the moisture and dirt. It should be dressed with this powder once each day. . BAD OUT I have a horse that got cut on a barb Wire fence and she is out bad on the right leg just below the fet- lock and is very lame. What is the best thing to do for her?-—J. S., Har- bor Beach. Michigan. AVE your druggist make up for you the following mixture which you should apply to this cut two or three times each day: liquid tar, 3 ounces; oil of turpentine, 1% carbolic acid, 1% ounces; cotton seed oil, enough to make 1 pint. You should not expect results too quickly if this is a bad cut. MILK TASTES “COWISII” I sell milk. The milk is good all winter or when cows are fed in barn ,but now that they are on pasture the night’s milk has a real “cowish” taste and the morning’s milk is per- fectly good. After tasting the night’s milk it seems to leave a rough tongue. We have no leeks in our pasture or any other weeds that I know of that would affect the taste. Would like your help—M. P., Lud- ington, Michigan. DO not know any reason why the I evening milk should taste “cow- ish" as you say. unless it be that you do not get it cool enough and keep it cool during the night. I would suggest that you cool the milk just as quickly as possible and keep it just as cool as you can. If you are not already using a disinfectant such as B-K or a similar one, would suggest that you get this and steri- lize your milk pans, pails and all the equipment used in handling the milk. I do not believe the trouble is with .. Ir! problem '1: the "roudmtm. Questlo the cows but that it is somewhere in your handling the milk. . PIGS HAVE WORMB our pigs have worms. What shall we give them?—-G~. _R., Kent County. HE best treatment I have used for worms is the following: Oil of chenopodium, 11/; oz; chloro- form, 1% oz; oil of anise, 1,4; oz: castor oil, enough to make 2 pints. Fast your pigs for 18 hours, then give pigs weighing up to 50 lbs. one ounce, pigs 50 to 75 lbs. 1% canoes, and pigs 75 to 100 lbs. 2 ounces. Feed lightly for two or three days. You must hold the pigs and give this with a dose syringe.

WHAT MADE MILK BITTER EAR EDITOR: I noticed in the June 9th issue Prof. Lucas' an- swer to “H. J., Algonac, Mich." in regard to bitter milk. We are just new farmers in experience and have been having the same trouble except it was the buttermilk and cream that tasted bitter and we did not notice the bitter taste in the butter as “H. J.” did. I have found out all by my— self just why it was bitter. We were using a galvanized 8-quart pail to milk in and it usually set an hour every morning before it was washed out and there was foam all inside the pail after the milk was strained into granite pans. We always strained the milk as soon as it was brought in before breakfast and then the pail was left until after breakfast before it was washed. Then sometimes I did not have the hot» water ready and the pail was not scalded as good as it should have been. Therefore it looked kind of white speckled inside and I used a scouring powder and cloth on it but it did not seem to remedy it. I happened to use a sharp knife on the inside of the pail and I soon found‘out why the milk was bitter because I scraped off the white speckled stuff and my pail looked heaps better. My cream was sweet, too. The scouring powder evi- ‘ dently did not loosen it like a knife. If “H. J.” is using a galvanized pail «perhaps his trouble is the same as we had.

MAY BE ONE OF THREE DISEASES My hens seem to be having bowel trouble and many are becoming thin. Am giving them medicated water, good feed and egg mash. They are Rocks and Reds. ——Mrs. W., Cattle Creek, Michigan. 0U have either cholera. or fowl typhoid and possibly some tu— berculosis in your poultry flock. Medicated drinking water is not go- ing to cure this flock, but it will be necessary for you to remove the sick birds as soon as found in the flock and keep them by themselves. Hous- es and yards must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected often. Feed- ers and fountains must be cleaned . and disinfected several times each week. These diseases are spread to- the birds through the feed and drink- mg water; therefore, . unless the fountains a feeders are kept clean, other treatment is of little value. After you have done all this, then the medicated water of course,’ 1731 be of some value. , , «~- HARD FOB. CHICKSTO : SWALLOWv Am writing about my‘little chicks. It 'seems awfully hard for them to swallow. Seem to ‘be hungry 'but can’t eat or drink, and die in short time. We all surely enjoy the M. B. F. very much—A. 0., Marion, Mich. ROM the information in your' let- ter I believe your chicks must have aSpergillosis. This is a fungus disease which is usually taken up with some spoiled feed or is breathed by the‘ chicks from some spoiled litter. The only thing that can be done is to clean upthe house where yOu are keeping them and put in clean litter. The birds that are affected will no doubt all die. There is no medicinal treat- ment for this condition. PNEUMONIA . Will you please tell me what ails my little chicks? They make a fun- ny noise in their throats and gap as though they couldn’t get their breath. When they get'that way they only live a little while—Mrs. B., Apple— gate, Michigan. OUR chicks no doubt have pneu- monia. There is a disease sim- ilar to aspergillosis which. is a. fungus that grows on wet, damp lit- ter or sometimes on spoiled feed. Clean out your brooder house and put in some clean litter that is not musty or mouldy and if possible change the feed as it is probably one of these two things that is causing your trouble. There is no medicinal treatment that is of any value. Dosing Poultry Fails to Eradicate Vermin ANY farmers and poultrymen M have believed it possible that certain chemicals administered as medicine or mixed with feed or water may protect their animals from external parasites. Ignorant and unscrupulous dealers, particularly in the poultry business, have played on this belief. The prevailing idea is that the material is taken up by the blood and then excreted on the sur- face. Many believe that the para- sites are either poisoned in this way, or else that a condition is induced which makes the fowl displeasing to its parasites and causes them to leave. Vendors of nostrums have sold liquids, tablets and powders for use in this way. The insecticide au- HOLD THAT POSEI From a classified ad In newspaper: “WANTED—I sun in position to hatch your eggs at five cents per egg." thorities in the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture have issued warnings against these remedies, and in many cases have forced the mak- ers to cease advertising and selling the frauds. In Technical Bulletin 60-T, “In- effectiveness of Internal Medication of Poultry for the Control of Exter- nal Parasites," just off the press, de— partmental investigators give the re- sults of experiments on which they based their opposition to this fakery. in approximately 50 tests of the pre- parations advertised none showed any indications of value against the common external parasites with which the hens were infested. Lice and mites thrived and multiplied as they might have been expected to do if the “medicine" had not been ad- These tests were. the basis of the campaign against the fa- kers. In additiOn, the department car- ried. out tests with a considerable number of other chemicals in addi- tion to those revealed by analysis of these “vermin eradicators.” Chemi cals tested included magnesium sul- phate or epsom salt, sodium carbon- ate, napthalene, calcium thiosulphate, calcium sulphide, magnesium oxide. sodium sulphate, potassium nitrate, ferric oxide, ferric sulphate, ferrous sulphate, potassium tellurate, potas- sium tellurite, diethyl diselinide, so- dium nitrate, tartar emetic, potassi- um iodide, sulphur flowers, capsicum, gentian, ginger, fenugreek, garlic, camphor powdered tobacco, quinine, nux vomica, and others. In no case was there conclusive evidence of any benefit from dosage. The ticks, lice, mites, and fleas were not eradicated. Furthermore, there is grave danger in giving certain in- ternal medicants to healthy fowls, as their vitality may be decreased to such an extent that the parasites find them an easier prey than they would have had no doses been ad— ministered. The conclusion of the investigators is that “the usevof internal medica- tions against external parasites is detrimental to the poultry industry in that it not only involves useless ex- penditures but allows the parasites to continue their ravages when they might be destroyed by recognized methods." Poultry raisers who desire to re— view for themselves the evidence against the nostrums may obtain Technical Bulletin GO-T free, while the supply lasts by applying to the United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D.

A OUT-WORMS KILLING Bananas I have been trying to start a new ,patch of blackberries but the cut worms are so bad that it seems as though I never will get‘them to grow. I will be very thankful it you will tell me what to do.-—-I. R, West Olive, Michigan. ‘ cut worms are troubling your IFnewly set blackberries we would suggest the use of poisoned bait to kill the cut worms. The bait should be mixed in the morning, al- lowed to stand during the day and used late in the e v e n i n g. Sprinkle it very lightly a r o u n d the plants. Chick- ens 's h o 11 id be kept away from the bait. The bait can also be used for all kinds of garden plants. Thorough culti- vation and hoe- ing is helpful in combating c u t worms. The U. S. Department of Agricul- ture recommends the following for- mula for. poison bait for out worms. Four ounces paris green (or white arsenic). Five pounds dry bran. One pint molasses. Two quarts water. Mix the parisx. green and dry bran thoroughly. In another vessel mix the syrup and water. and pour it over the poisoned bran. Then mix thoroughly to make a moist mash. It more wa- ter is needed add more but do not get the mixture sloppy. Herbert Natzlger NEW KIND OF BERRI'ES We answered an, advertisement re- garding some new variety of straw- berries and are enclosing the liter- ‘ ature tor‘you to read. Do you think they would be worth the high price they are asking for plants?—A. E. Hendrick, - Donna, Texas. UR experience in practical fruit taming has told us that it is very risky business to jump into heavy; planting ot a new and untried variety. This Would be true even if. you could get the plants for nothing, let alone paying an enormous price for a “bird in the bush." We know nothing whatever about this variety. It: may be something really good. On the ‘other hand it may be another “nurseryman's dream."

Another thing to be taken into consideration is the fact that a variety which does well in one section of the country may be a com- plete flop somewhere else. Taking ROADSIDE MARKETING “ HE chief advantage of roadside stands to the fruit grower." ac- cording to Dr. U. P. Hedrick of the New York Experiment Station, “are that they eliminate the middle- man and that all transactions are for cash. The roadside stand also ofl‘ers an opportunity for the sale of a. far greater variety of products than would otherwise be possible, such as fruit by-products and perishable goods that could not be shipped to distant markets.” everything into _ consideration our advice would be that you obtain a few plants and give them a good test. If they do well and you think they are really worth the price asked by that time. then increase your plant- ing. ' ETHYLENE GAS I have read an article on the use of ethylene gas for ripening fruit and some vegetables. Could you tell me anything about it?——F. H., Spar- ta, Michigan. THYLENE gas can be used for - blanching celery and for ripen- ing various fruits and vegeta- bles such as tomatoes, muskmelons. plums, bananas, etc. The gas is used in tight rooms in a temperature of from 65 to 70‘ degrees Fahrenheit. The length of time required for the ripening process depends on the ar- ticle to be ripened and on its stage of ripeness at the time the treat- ment is begun. About 48 hours will ripen tomatoes. About 60 hours will blanch celery. The gas is said to be non-poisonous and non-explo- sive at the strength used. ‘Four dollars worth of gas is enough for about ten carloads of tomatoes. NEW METHOD OF MARKETING STRAWBERRIES _ NEW way of handling strawber- ries has been adopted this sea- son by 8. Salem, Oregon, shipper. The berries are put up in pound car- tons, carefully waxed an’d beautifully labelled, , and thus shipped east to reach consumers as fresh Oregon ber- ries in handy packages. (Continued from page 3) and also their medicine if. they are sick, whichbthey seldom are. They are remarkably healthy ani- mals. Tuberculosis is almost un- heard of among them. This ‘alone is a strong argument in the favor. Oc- casionally they are troubled with stomach worms but these are not difficult‘to remedy. We recently had a customer drive eight miles to get the milk for his wife. She had a severe stomach trouble, a large goitre and although a very tall wo- man she weighed only ninety-four pounds. They thought that perhaps the milk might help her to gain in strength sufficiently so she could go to the hospital and have the goiter removed. In six weeks time she gained six pounds, her stomach trouble improved greatly and the goitre was smaller. A young girl of thirteen years had had eczema every winter since her birth, she has had the goat milk for about eight months, a pint a day, as she was aenemic, and this winter, to their amazement, has had no trouble with the eczema. ‘Our customers re- port ' remarkable improvement in cases of tuberculosis, ptomaine poi- soning. intestinal influenza, malnu- trition, convulsions-caused by indi- gestion.

D. A. (Special to THE BUSINESS FARMER) ‘ HE general market position con- tinues good for the time of year on most of the standard farm products, except grain and vegeta- bles. These lost ground in the last half of June, because of somewhat better crop conditions. Many other lines advanced or at least held about steady, including cotton, wool, cattle, hogs, butter, cheese, eggs and poul- ry. Wheat An unsettled situation has pre— vailed in the wheat market since the middle of June, with the weakening influence of generally favorable crop prospects for spring wheat both in the United States and Canada offset by more active export demand and delayed harvest of new winter Wheat on account of rains in the Southwest. Corn and Oats Corn for July delivery was also lower than at any time since the middle of February. The cash mar- ket was fairly active, but this activ- ity was not sufficient to offset the in- fluence of the favorable crop outlook. While a small crop of rye is in pros- pect, supplies are sufficiently large that the trade apparently feels no uneasiness for their requirements. Oats and barley were steady, with the light offerings scarcely equal to market requirements. Larger re— ceipts weakened the flax market and prices declined around 2 cents per bushel. Feeds sell slowly, without much change in price. Hay Alfalfa markets were slightly low- er as ne wcrop offerings increased. Receipts of new alfalfa hay at Kan- sas City were mostly of unsatisfac- tory quality, because of weather damage. Prairie markets were quiet and demand dull. Harvesting of new crop prairie was being delayed by rainy weather. Hay markets were slightly weaker and prices for top grades showed a downward tendency under pressure of new crop ogerings, although 'de- anand for good quality hay continued fairly active. Rainy weather inter- rupted country loadings and consi- derable out-of—condition hay ap- peared among the arrivals at dis- tributing markets. Cattle Cattle trade at Chicago has been featured by light total receipts the last half of June and by the con- tinued advance in light yearling prices. This advance incurred new high prices for the season and in- creased the premium paid for year- lings scaling under 900 pounds as compared with com-parable grades of medium and heavy weight steers. The market on heavy weight steers fluctuated daily and closed barely steady for the third week of the month, weight being a considerable factor in the demand. The inability of killers to break the market, except temporarily is indicative of future trends, particularly where light year— lings are concerned. Never in trade history have little steers and year- lings brought such prices, when heavier weights were in good de- mand and bringing relatively high prices. . Hogs Daily price advances featured the late June hog trade at Chicago. As is usual on an active market, numer~ ous loads of medium and good trade hogs sold at unusually narrow dif— ferential as compared with prices paid‘for choice loads. However, the price position of hogs lacking in finish and showing evidence of a grass diet, is by no means stable and any weakness which may develop will no doubt mean greater price dis- crimination against such hogs, as they are now considered out of line fr0m a price standpoint, quality and . yield considered. w Sheep The unusually rapid marketing of the early Idaho lamb crop was partly lresponsible in mid-June sharp price threat. Westerns which were en- i l, . route East, were dumped at Missouri River points and further west during the week, only to find that the early crop was largely in and that total supplies for the week under review were relatively meager. Supplies are a leading influence at the pres— ent time and the late June upturn was believed by some trade interests’ to be of only temporary duration. The supply outlook on lambs for the rest of June does not look excessive, but around the 8th of July, Washing- ton and late Idahos are in prospect in increasing numbers and should marketing be anything but orderly, another break is likely to occur. Feeding lambs lost a little price ground and ewe lambs experienced a decided price drop, but even at low- ‘er prices, the demand was-not active.

Board, at Plymouth, Wisconsin, June 22, the market ruled steady to firm at un- changed prices. _ “ Eggs Fancy eggs usually are in good demand with premiums obtainable. Receipts at four markets are falling off considerably, (between 10 and 12 per cent for the third week of June.) Light receipts are likely due to heav- ier storing at interior warehouses, coupled with decreased production. Poultry Poultry dealers are holding ‘to firmer asking prices on frozen stocks to regular trade and open market trading rather light on most mar- kets. General poultry market holds prices well.

Trading in Texas wools at Boston has continued very light and is confined to a few lines. Butter At all the large butter markets there was maintained a fairly steady price level in late June, with ten- dency to firmness and fractionated- vances in eastern markets. Receivers and dealers were not inclined to al— low stocks to accumulate, where they could dispose of them without mak- ing concessions below cost. Specula- tive buying was light. Trade was limited mostly to consumptive re- quirements. The production situa- tion at the moment, appears slightly improved, since rainfall in practical- ly all producing areas has made pas- ture conditions much- better. The peak of production for the season is about reached. Report of American Association of Creamery Butter Man- ferred to the Virginia—Maryland pen- insula.

The departmental order required that in future his dealer shall keep the following accounts, records and memoranda pertaining to his tran~ sections: ’ 1. Copies of scale tickets issued by stockyards covering purchases and sales by him. 2. Copies of bills for all purchases of livestock by him. . 3. Book record or register of of each purchase and sale of live- stock showing date, number of head, weight, dockage if any, amount, and incidental expenses. 4.

It is the policy of the department to be lenient toward first offenders, and give them opportunity to mend their ways and comply with the provision of the law.

STUDY SOIL BUILDING IN CASS COUNTY HE fundamental importance of lime (on soils that are sour) as the first step in a soil-building program rand'the value of an erst- while weed, sweet clover, as a soil- builder were prominent among sev- eral soil facts brought out at the an- nual Field Day recently held at the experimental plots on the Cass county poor farm near Cassopolis. In attendance at the event were farm- ers from several southwestern Michi— gan counties, agricultural extension men, and representatives of lime and fertilizer companies. - Experiments on these plots date back to 1917 when the State College Soils Department took over ten acres of sour, badly run land and placed it FOR THE EARLIER EAR lDI'l‘OB:-——Am renewing no we can't get along without the M.

Figures on a" chart arranged by Extension Specialist. lJohn Sims brought out’ the contrast vividly. Computed on an acre basis the value of all crops from the unlimed area .during the eleven years was $70.65. Hay value of green manure crops plowed under was $2.20 leaving a balance of $68.45. During the same period from an adjoining plot that had been limed, crops to the value of $166.99 per acre were harvested. Cost of the lime plus hay value of green manures plowed down was $39.73, leaving a balance of. $127.26, which is $58.81 in favor of the limed plot. On four of the series of plots a four year rotation is followed, viz: corn, oats, sweet clover, wheat. For several years an outstanding feature of fertilizer tests with the sweet clov- er in this series has been the increas— ed growth on the plots to which pot- ash has been applied. In heighth of plant, stooling, and color of foliage the legume unmistakably expressed its appreciation of a liberal feed of potash. By the increased growth of sweet clover an additional amount of nitrogen was made available for the subsequent wheat crop. Hence nitro- gen for the wheat was secured by ap- plying potash on the sweet clover, a seemingly roundabout and somewhat paradoxical process but a fact never— theless. Before inspection of the plots short talks were given by some of the col- lege men present, among them being Dr. McCool, head of the soils depart— ment, and R. J. Baldwin, Director of Extension. H. D. Gleason of the County Poor Board also made some interesting comparisons of present conditions of the entire farm and its condition before a systematic applica- tion of lime phosphate and fertilizer was commenced. Mr. Gleason stated the average value of crops now grown annually was about $7,000 whereas twenty years ago it was but $700. This remarkable change has been accomplished by the expendi— ture of only $2800 in lime and phos- phate. The entire farm excepting one field has now been limed.—H. H. Barnum. Week of July 8 LTHOUGH the early part of the week of July 8th is expected to be mostly fair, the week as a whole will average sufficient mois- ture to care for most of the growing crops. Temperatures at the begin- ning of the week will range slightly below t‘he seasonal normal. By the middle of the week there will be increasing cloudiness, rising temperatures and some rather gen- eral rains. In connection with some of these rain storms in various coun- ties of the state there will be some local electrical and wind storms. With the probable exception of Thursday We expect there will be con- tinued cloudiness and threatening to stormy conditions over most parts of the state during the balance of the week. The week will end with cool weather for the season. Week of July 15 Weather conditions for the week of Julr15th as a whole will average rather spotted, some sections having plenty of rainfall for their needs while others close by will be dry.
