In the first place, the individual may have had success harvesting his beans 3 given method and has no desire to change. There are, however, many farmers who have had trouble each year harvesting the crop and. they should try some other method. Most Of us are familiar with two methods of handling the crop. One is to cure and haul the beans under cover as rapidly as possible; the oth- er is to cure and thresh the beans directly from the field. ' Both of these methods are good when the weather 'man is considerate and a. threshing machine is available. . A third-method and one to be recommended is the McNaughton System of Curing Beans. This meth- od is especially suited this year be— cause many beans came up unevenly the past spring. Other fields of beans germinated and grew well at first to become spotted later on be- cause at the damp cool weather. The be vy rains during late summer have also contributed to an uneven de— velopment during the late period of' growth. , Spotted Fields Hard To- Cure __ " Fields of beans which are spotted are very hard to cure in the tall. It is impossible to pull those that are ready and leave the green areas. If they are pulled‘together the mature beans may. shatter or they may be— come discolored by rains‘ while wait- ing for the green vines to cure. To \use The McNaughton System the beans are pulled and rolled to- gether into windrows with a side “ delivery rake for the convenience of Michigan State Fair Proves tomBe “Best Show Yet” As Advertised ' OT long ago there was a very 7 popular song entitled, “The Song is‘Endeld, but the Melody Lingers’On."

Build the Farmers Study Sand Soil Problems va IRVING J. MATTHEWS ORE than 500 farm folks in 158 M automobiles came‘ from all cor- ners of Michigan on August 28th to the Pennsylvania Demonstra- tion Farm, two miles north of How— ard City, to see what only eight years of definite cropping program will produce in the way of yields and crops from one of the lightest sandy soil types on which Michigan farm— ers are trying to make a living. There were representatives from 28 coun- ties. It was impossible to count the people but the automobile number is actual, not extension count. And the very large and exceeding“ interested groups that followed Tourmaster Ha- german from one field to another shows beyond the peradventure of a d0ubt that there are many farmers in Michigan who live an sandy soil and who' are vitally interested in learning more about how to make such soils productive. “The management of the soil has a lot to do with electric lights, run- ning water, furnaces, silk stockings and vacations,” says William John— ston,’ co’unty agent of Van Buren county who was there. The keen interest being manifested in the results now becoming more and more apparent at this farm can perhaps be judged by the distance that many of the visitors had driven. The three farthest points represent- ed, that I saw, were H. J. Lurkins, county agent of Berrien county; Clare ‘Burt’on, county agent of Clin- ton cOunty and A. R. Shubert, re- cently appointed county agent of Em- mett county. At the first stop on the tour, B. O.

There were not quite as many milk- ing ‘Shorthorns but the number of Herefords was double that of a year ago, while all the other breeds showed up very good. The Michigan Beef Producers’ Association Special was especially interesting because animals entered by 4—H Club mem— bers offered such strong competition. Wednesday Gov.

VERY satisfactory soldering acid A may be made by using ordinary , soldering acid for the base and introducing a certain 'proportion of chloride of'tin and sal ammoniac ini‘IIevery "way tothe old form. To make one gallon of this soldering fluid, take 3 quarts of common muri- atic acid and allow it to dissolve as much zinc as' it‘will‘ take up. The acid must be placed in an earthen- ware Or glass vessel. The zinc may be sheet clippings or common plate -' spelter broken into small" pieces. ‘ Place the acid in the vessel and add the zinc in small portions so as to A prevent the whole from boiling over. When all. the zinc has been added and the action stopped, it indicates _that enough has been taken up. Care must be taken to see that there is a little z‘inc left in the bottom, as otherwise the acid will be in excess. The idea is to have the acid take up, as much zinc as it can. After this has been done, there will remain some residue in the form of a black precipitate. This is the lead which all zinc contains, and which is not dissolved by the muri- atic acid. This lead may be removed by filtering through a funnel in the bottom of which there is a little ab- sorbent cotton. or the solution may be allowed to remain overnight until the lead has settled and the clear so— lution can then be poured off.

V., Dorr, Mich. ‘ HE ants that make large nests in lawns and come from these nests into the houses are easily con- trolled as a rule by the use ol’. poi— soned honey. The smaller ants which make the tiny little sand piles all over the lawn are not so easily con- trolled, and as a matter of fact we have no satisfactory way of handling them. For the nest-making ant we use tartar emetic, honey, and pulverized sugar, one part of tartar emetic is mixed very thoroughly with twenty parts of a combination of extracted honey and powdered sugar. The mix- ture should be kept cool so as' not 7 to thin it up and cause the poison to‘ settle out. Use a little dab of this r .on each ant mikperhaps af‘teaspoonu ‘ hi on a bit ottinvorg glass, andtcover Over with a wooden box so arranged that no animals or children can get to the poisoned bait. '—-‘ This "is", “of course, a violentpoison and must be used with care ifat all, The idea is not to merely Mkillthe’ ants which come and eat the poison, but to use a slow-acting poison which will work slowly enough so that the ants will carry home. some‘of the poison and feed .it to their young before they themselves die. It workmwell indeed in the majority of cases when used against the nest building ants. v The tiny red ants that lovegrease are not controlled in- this way but sometimes may ,be controlled by sub- stituting. grease for thehoney and powdered sugar. We have used beef tallow and bacon grease'although the latter is a little thin. Nevertheless bacon grease is very attractive to the ants and it one can keep 'it cool "enough so that it does not melt in the room, it works out very well. Keep in mind the evtremely Ipoison- ous nature of the bait at all times and make sure that no accident occurs.

HE past ten days have been spent largely in threshing. Two half days were lost by some little showers that just wet grain enough to stop the program. The machines that thrash most of the grain in this neighbor- hood- are of the la rgest ones made and they require a large me. n t h e m. I t h i n k .we had twenty-four men , on the job at our I place, this in- cluded three or four more men than most farm— ers have need for because We needed more help in taking care of the gram. But now it is all in the gran— ary it will be fun to open a chute and fill a bag. I like to help with Q19 threshing for the neighbors; generally find a chance todo a little visiting! Get 3 Square meal with a capital 8, but one of the things about the neighborhood threshing I like is something I doubt [many farmers take advantage of, and this is a study of the grain, etc. No two farmers have the same exact condition pertaining to their. grain and WHY NOT Study their methods a. little, ask a few questions and find out Whuhis man’s yield was so high and“ why his neighbor’s was so low. Some of the things I learned the past ten days only go to prove what is already con- ceded to be good practice. I learned some of the things from grain or our growing although it was on neigh- boring land. ‘ We did not have seed oats enough of our own growing to furnish seed for the neighbor's part of the seeding and on one field of over twenty acres we sowed our own seed which we had treated for smut. We were drill- ing when the seed for the owner's part was delivered to the field. It had just been bought of a dealer. The seed looked clean and, of course, there was no time to treat it for smut. After sowing the seed we fur- nished, this dealer’s seed was used. Result was, our treated seed was per- fectly free from smut. The seed which was bought produced a very smutty crop. The yield also was be- low the yigld of our seed. We threshed for two other neighbors who purchased some of this seed and their crops were very smutty. An- other nelghbdr has a little smut and on questioning him he said he treat- ed the seed for smut but was in too L. W. Bleak- . big a hurry to give it the proper {fingth of time to stand before drill- 82 . ’ Close observation also gave con- siderable confirmation to the fact fer- tilizer pays when 'used on cats. I figured where 125 pounds of 20 per cent superdphosphate (acid phos— phate) ~were used it made a gain of . about fifteen bushels per acre. The fertilizer would cost about $2.25 and the extra cats at the low price of 3-20 per bushel would figure at $4.80, leaving a profit above the fertilizer cost. of $2.55. However this gain of only $2.55 per acre would be $5.25 if oats were fifty cents per bushel, which they will be a. little later on. The fertilizer will be 01'. great help to the next crops. Then here is a. man who has the heaviest yield of straw found in the neighborhood. The Oats are good, too. But why is thestraw so heavy? He made it‘clear when he said h's fer-, tilizer was very high in pots con- tent. _ Then there was a study of difl'erent ways ’01! shocking grain. Strange as it"may seem two of the neighbors shocked their grain by simply put-P ting about. eightbundles in a sort, (it _. round shock and not using any caps. I was. quite satisfied this method was ~ practical. Sure it is those of us; who used caps had more painless musty V.’ 'crew to properly . r). ' your trouble—TR. f 'L. [.B...

Any way you figure it a farmer is at the mercy of the weather sodas the weather is never‘flie some two years in succession the farmer is always taking s. long chance. Then there is ti? ‘seedlng to study. Sure it is, C' vet is the best it has been in. years. Truly the farmers have a wonderful chance to do something for the good on their soil it they will use a little good common sense in getting the most out of their clover crep‘jwhich is so nicely started. In some future article I will tell what I consider are some ways to use this clover to the best advantage. I I O O ' vRain - In my last article I mentioned the weather being dry: It is. two weeks, now and we have had no rain that would do any good until last night. when nearly two inches fell in the course of two hours. It will certain~ 1y tart a lot of plows, for farmers have been Waiting for it.‘ Our teams are at work getting out gravel from a nearby pit and hauling it home. We have put about thirty-five loads » in our drive way and are piling up a. lot of cement gravel which we hope to use in some building before long. Having the gravel on hand when needed is a “heap big” incentive to “start something.” it t i That Gas Tax I am very much interested in the. interest the readers show in the gasI tax. Put me down as favoring a. higher gas tax and a less weight tax- on the small or medium sized motor ; vehicles. 0n the larger cars and ; trucks I believe the tax should be 5 much high-er than it is. The other i _ night I spent some time at a home on the Old Chicago Pike, U. S. 112. This I is a paved way put down about two years ago. The traffic is tremendOus: and the freight traffic almost beyond-l beliet. Several of these giant trucks with solid rubber tired wheels ac-‘l tually shake the houses along the; street. How long can the cement: stand that kind of usage? It seems,I , the freight trucking companies have, no thought for pavements. On a. rev-l cent drive‘ on this pike, we came up behind a huge truck, it was at the, foot of a long hill nearly 36 mile in; length. -T-he truck was so heavily loaded it -could‘ hardly move. The. traffic was exceedingly heavy and, with the truck being so wide we could! not see any chance that might have, appeared to dart out around it. 0011— . ‘ sequence was we slowed up and. crawled along behind it-until the top of the hill was reached. By this time there were fiorty or more cars lined up behind us! Should these trucks be permitted to hold up traffic by over-loading? Why not build an extra 12 feet on each. side of the present pavement and build it to stand the strain of this heavy truck-'- ing? And compel them to keep on it, and then put a tax on these trucks heavy enough to help pay tor the road bad they use. Pomib'lfy a higher gas tax would be sufiicient for they certainly do burn a lot of gas, at any rate make them stand their share of highway costs. However, pavements and graveled State and county roads are not ALL the highwaysthere are in Michigan. Some of us’must live on township roads and I wish I had ,time dud space to tell you how I would finance those; . , - Since my last letter the company have came again and put a new bowl. on my. separator and itruns good now. »» I Wish to thank youitor your help “flavor.

I! Q C Visits County 'Ageut A few weeks ago I was in Cold— water, Michigan, and had a very pleasant visit with the efficient comr- : ty agent of Branch county, Mr. Ward Andrews. He showed me some sam- = ples of com he had recently gathered which were infest-ed Mithihe Euro- pean Corn Borer. The familiar spec- tacle made me shudder as these bor-' ers were found in the same county and only a few miles from Spring Water Farm. The incident brought very vivid memories to my mind of the infested corn areas I have visited at Monroe, Michigan, and Ontario, ; Canada, and of the havoc which the corn borer has wrought at these places. The spreading of this pest calls for the utmost co-operation of all farmers in clean-up regulations and quarantine measures.rThe clean- up rules have always been executed to the letter on Spring Water Farm, and in our community. It is with a feeling of sadness mingled with dis- gust when I read of some of the' farmers of Michigan fighting such regulations which are made for their own benefit and for the aid of the agricultural industry. I recently read of a farmer in Jackson county. who bitterly fought the T. B. testing for his cattle, and thought at the time of the old proverb: Don’t bite the hand that’s feeding you. On the other hand I realize all has not been of the best in the enforce- ment of these rules and regulations, and also that much resentment was encountered on account of the volun- teer clean-up. The corn borer ques— tion is a national one, and for this reason I heartily endorse the plan compensating the (armor for the clean—up work. I shall use my ut— most influence with our congressman for such measures, and I hope that all my brother farmers will do like— wise, but I am not in sympathy with some of the methods which have been used to fight these important clean-{up measures. C t a Back to School For a period of two weeks now, I have spent the most of my time in the class room and laboratory train- ing high school students for their important place in the world of to- morrow. If there is anything or any place more interesting and pleasing than working on the farm close to nature, with God's fresh air and sun- shine,‘birds and- flowers, I believe it is the class room filled with our American youth. ~ AS‘I look‘over our high school student body of 7:00 eager, watchful, and aspiring boys and girls, all dif- ferent in their desires and capacities, I realize more and more the respon- sibility, the. interesting task, and. the joyful work of a. school teacher.

A luxury tax of some kind, vs 3 - ’ a. tax on automobiles, or a' stubs ~in— " ‘ come tax would raise the necessary. money. I am passing this thought on to the farmers of Michigan for their consideration and hope that ' some such plan will be presented to r the next meeting of the State legisla- ture. 1! t t Call on the Instructor Several of my farmer friends came into the agricultural laboratory this afternoon to talk over some work which they were doing on the farm. ‘ We had a Very interesting and f » they receix'ed the information which f they wished. I am always pleased to ; see farmers come into the laborabory, 3 and when I make this assertion I am . also voicing the opinion and se-nti- , ment of the other 165 Smith Hughes 1 l agricultural instructors over the '1‘ State of Michigan. rI‘he agricultural instructors of Michigan believe that ' the service which they render should I reach further than the four walls of their class rooms, and I am going to advise the farmers of Michigan to" become acquainted with these men of ’ . ' your own high schools and use them. , I am personally acquainted with , them and can Voucli for their interest , and ability. Just today I received a letter from a farmer from New Troy» who wished _ advice on some horticultural prob— , iems. The best advice I could ofier I him was to see the agricultural in- ‘ - Structor at New Troy’and have him ,I look over the work. Mr. Berry; who 3 is superintendent and agricultural in- straCter at that place is a tall, hand- some young man, and as his Me I would indicate, knows horticulture. .s He is a good natured fellow, and I j' advise the farmers around New Troy i to give him plenty of work to (do. i 4 C Price of Beans Mr. James McBride, former State market director, and myself had a very pleasant interview with Gover- nor Green several weeks ago on the bean situation in Michigan relative to a starting price of beans for the Michigan bean growers. I was my much impressed and pleased at the interest and the broad view which the Governor toék relative to farm matters. The Governor informed me that. he would do all in his power to .- aid in securing for the farmers of Michigan at fair price for their beans or would use his influence in any . other matter which related to the ‘ benefit and interest of the farmers of - this State. To my opinion this is a very fitting viewpoint for the Gover- nor of our State to hold toward the agricultural industry and the agri- cultural people. 0 I C Sdect Seed Corn The time of year is at hand when . the seed corn should be selected for the next year’s crop. Seed corn should be selected from the field ' when the corn is safliciently mam-rm land before the general field is has vested.

V 7 4 - .EGIONAL program-making is one " f“; " of the chiet innovations adopted 3 ~ . ,x by the Radio Service. of the U. S. ' ~ . Department of Agriculture for its fourth cease-not cooperation with broadcasting stations in supplying in- formation to tumors. The United .Sta .57 is being divided into five re- fig ’ and the stations in each region w l broadcast programs of the same g era] titles, but. the facts given in programs will apply in each re- inn onlyto the farming situation there. Region 1, which includes Michigan and other northeastern states is called “Hay and Pasture." Region 2 is the corn and winter wheat belt. Region 3 is the ‘eotton belt and Subtropical coast. The spring wheat, igreat plains, Rocky Mountain, and arid inter-mountain sections make up region 4, while the Pacific Coast is region 5. - Another new development of the farm and home radio programs rep- v — resents an start to put more system 3 g' into the use of radio for information ‘ purposes. The Federal Department - is publishing for the use of listeners ‘* to farm broadcasts the “U. S. Farm Radio Record” which gives a. means of setting dowu items of broadcast knowledge for further reference ‘and of sending requests for publications of the department which furnish in further detail the summarized .facts presented in the programs. A simi- lar publication, “Aunt Sammy’s Ra.— dio Record,” will be available for lis- teners to the housekeepers’ pro— grams. ‘ The 1928-29 season opens on Oc— ‘. tober 1, 1928, and continues for 30 ‘ weeks. Two daily broadcasts will be \of especial interest to farmers, ac- cording to the announcement just made by Morse Salisbury, chief of the Radio Service. The Farm Flashes will carry 10 minutes of talk on time and method of conducting farming operations. .The U. S. Radio Farm Forum, also a 10-minute broadcast, will treat of the production and eco- nomic problems or stockmen, crop growers, dairymen, poultrymen, and general farmers. Once each week comes “Farm Science Snapshots,” a weekly radio newspaper telling‘the news coming- from agricultural ex- periment stations of the world. A monthly View of farming conditions throughout the country will be given in the, “Agricultural Situation Re- View.” For housekeepers the Radio Serv— . ice and cooperating stations will con- tinue the daily “Housekeepers’ Chat.” TWO special weekly features, “Out— doors with the Scientist,” and “The Primer for Town Farmers” are of general interest. Each month the service includes a “Farm Pluylet,” ‘ di‘amati’zing problems of the rural community. The farm boys and girls will be served by a new program, the “4-H Club Crier,” bringing news of activ- ities throughout the Nation of room- bers of the young farmers’ and home- makers’ clubs. Programs now are being assigned to more than 100 effective broadcast- ing stations which havercquested them.

'1 1 v l m The-Hf I: "sols more as to smile- -'- FARM RELIEF’PROBLEM EAR EDITORzll wish to compu. ment the subscriber, “G. L.- P.. Elsie," for his or her article un- der “What the Neighbors Say,” date of July 7. Such articles convince me that after all there are many farm- ers who think_and_ have in them the makings of the men that will even~~ tually solve and cause to be solved the gigantic farm relief problem. When wecall a .doctor when we are sick, it he is a good one, the first thing he will do is make a proper diagnosis, which is done by the prop- _ . or understanding or symptoms which appear to the untrained as diseases in themselves. Thus it is with the farmers troubles. Many of the things the politicians are prescribing for us is merely to treat the symp- toms. symptoms. First, we appear to have a bad “eruption” of what- is known as a “Big Surplus." Not any two of the big farm organizations can agree on a plan to treat the symptoms and even it they could and applied their remedies it is plain that the real trouble would be made worse and we would still have more surplus. ing the years 1909-19 we plowed up 40,000,000 acres of idle land and put it into farms and commenced to crop it. We cleared 5,000,000 acres of timber land and did the same with that. Why did we do it? Just this, we farmers as a class are ignorant, easily led by interests that profit by our plight. Who are these interests? That is hard to get at, but they are the men who control this whole sys- tem of “farming the farmer.” The agents of these interests are cham- bers of commerce, railroads, immi— gration and land settlement bureaus, banks, and to top it off the biggest offender is the United States govern- ment itself. the one we are looking to for relief. The agent of the gov- ernment is known as the reclamation bureau in the department of interior. Ten million dollars have been spent getting new farmers onto new irriga- tion projects in total disregards of. the food needs of the nation. The result is that not only the new farm- ers but the old ones as well find themselves in this deplorable fix. Now, it the farmers and those that contemplate being. farmers will not organize themselves and the various farm organizations Will not unite upon a constructive policy and all pull together they will continue to be in the next 100 years like in the past, the victims of the interests that, fig- uratively speaking, take them by the nose and lead them around. Just remember that as yet we are not farming half of our land in the United States and we have yet 300,- 000,000 acres good for farming puri- poses. Let us be “business farmers". Let us organize. Let us calla con- ference of all‘the farm organizations. Let them appoint a committee rep- resenting the whole. Let them go down to Washington and they will get anything they ask for from our government that is constitutional, re- gardless of which party is elected to power.——C. E. Ackerman, Shiawassee County. _ (Editor’s Note: Neighbor Acker- man’s argument on farm relief is very much in line with what we.have argued through our columns . It the farmers' organizations and represen- tatives Will get together on a certain remedy for the farmers' ills then congress will do something, but as long as they cannot agree how can congress be expected to solve the problem.) SOLDIERS’ BONUS ‘ EAR EDITOR: I surely agree with Mr. Benj. Baudhman oi! Allegan county in regard to the soldiers' bonus. mThey should ,have received it long ago. They surely were entitled to it.'- Anyone that» was sent to the front and used as a tar-'~ get asthe' soldiers were, nothing is too good for them.

H. Slagle, Wexford County. SYSTEM, OF ASSESSING AT FAULT - ‘ EAR EDITORz—I note'with in- - terest, the discussion about taxes in your paper. It seems to me the biggest fault 'lies in our system of assessing. With so ,many inexperienced and unqualified people to do the assessing (to say nothing of the carelessness) in many different townships, it is little wonder a great many pay too high taxes. I know of a good many instances where prop- erty is assessed far below where it should be, compared with property around it and of others too high, also, although the former, I believe is far in the majority. This would at- fect every one else in that township, even though he had a fair assess- ment, because his rate would be cor- respondingly higher in all his ditter- ent county, township. and State taxes. Besides it would affect every one in the county and state holding taxable property, but in a less degree, of course. If this condition exists in many townships, which I believe it .does, it would make quite a differ- ence in the county and state tax. We must take the job of assessing out of politics, where there is too much preference and carelessness, for the general inclination is to fol- low the way ot least resistance. Ap- pointed qualified state or county as— sessors, changed around each year would. I believe, be a much better system. I I am pleased to see the state tax commission laying stress on listing buildings and improvements 'sepa- rate, so as to arrivelat a truer and more equal value. But, what must be said of an assellsor who does not even attempt to see the peopl eat their property, year after year, nev- ertheless, takes his pay, a lump sum, ‘ for doing the work, aer personally know is being done. Equalization is what we must have, but never will get under the present system.—-J. W. D., Neebish, Mich. ‘ PHEASAN TS PULL UP CORN EAR EDITOR: So much has been said in your paper about the pheasants that I wish to re- late ‘the trouble my cousin had with them on his farm in Ingham county. Last year he had about an acre near the barn that he planted to sweet corn and three times the pheas- ants pulled it out after it got nicely started. This year they are at it again. They are certainly the worst. pest '5. farmer has to deal witli'.~'-‘-" Mrs. W., Ingham County. MORE ON SOLDIERS’ BONUS EAR EDITOR: In the May 26th issue I noticed a letter on the question 0t soldiers' bonus. I feel the same about it as my friend, Napoleon Belanger. I came home in 1920. My father signed my notes and tried to get me started in farm- .ing, renting a place on shares..‘ Now the federal government has offered this place for sale,, $1,000. down and $172. twice a year: If I had my $1,265 in a" lump I could buy this.

Nevertheless, they “are questions that have trou- bled my mind for a long time.” So writes a reader whose queries indi- cate a mind arguing itself away from Christianity. It is apparent that; our friend is reasoning without faith”, Our. text is taken from God’s ar- raignment of his own people because of their stupidity." “My people doth .not consider.” Yes, they, went to church and sacrificed and chanted. And this was enough, they argued. The pro'phets’ weepings and. judg- ments were unreasonable. Yet, the while, their sins grew more scarlet. The 'text implies repentance and they were not ready. But it is ever so. Jesus cried to the Pharisees, “Why reasOn ye? Have ye your hearts hard- ened?” And 'we are‘ yet not‘ready for humble-mindedness, surrender, and‘faith. Let us have more Chris— tian rationalists and less of irrever- ent free-thinkers! 0 no, the Bible does not stulify reason. It would use it as an aid to faith in finding our way to God and human responsibil- ity. Thinking, to be deep and sober, must be done in the realm of trust. Our questioner’s troubles’center here. He ends his letter thus: “The Bible states that the Lord God Himself made everything in this universe, the Devil included. Consequently, in the face of these facts it is utterly im- possible for me to see how we poor sinners are responsible for the acts we commit when our destinies are completely inathe hands of some su- preme power.” “And Jesus answered and said, O fai'thless’ and (perverse generation." ' Now, what is: one’s responsibility as to one’s destiny?_ Reasoning to— gether implies we must sit at the feet of Jesus. Here is harmony'and light. Away from Him is naught but per- plexity and darkness. Jesus proposes that man is created for geodness. Our Master heightened the moral teachings and sanctions of the Old il‘estament. These were the scrip- tures that He urged ‘His people‘to search.‘ As we open them 'We find Godsaying, “Let us make man in our image,” that is, make him to be good. The c'reational idea is that all of us are children of a Loving, Heavenly Father. And this includes all sorts of mortals. It'embraces our cynical“ querist. “Cynical” is right. Any per— son who declar‘es it as his belief that “when God created the world, He created it out of trash, so how could the resulting product be any differ- ent?” is sitting in the scorner’s seat. He is sneering at God. He is indulg— ing in highly vain presum-ptions. . Said Pope, “Knew then thyself: pre- sume not God to scan.” Jesus Christ left many mysteries unsolved, but He did notfail to exalt the dignity and sovereignty of man. He reposed in mum-u you would like answered write ‘to Rev. m on ' l ‘ I 1:: “ovation. mending unclean“ ohm“; ‘ . world. " nor‘mlv will be sent to v \ 1— man the most implicit faith. He de- clared that man would eventually bring in the reign of goodness. Lis- ten to His words, “As the Father has sent‘ me, so send I you into the In Jesus the Psalmist’s s t a t e .m e n t is realizable. “Thou crownedst him (man) with glory and honor” and didst set him over the works of Thy hands.” And in rea- soning together with Paul, we find God saying, man is “foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son." So, brother, quit your vain presuming on God’s goodness. Cease scanning Him for the purposes of re- bellion. Know thyself. You are not made out of “trash.” You are a child of God and‘brother to men. Jesus says so. And this furnishes ground to exercise reason and faith in living. But we are to be good in the pres- ence of sin. Our friend would es- cape responsibility for sinning since he says that the Lord created the Devil and evil to trap us. Well, the Bible says, “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” But Satan is not “very good.” Then surely the Lord did not make him. There are some folks around you that are devilish but the Lord made them to be good; yet to be good in the presence of evil. No, the writer does not know where evil came from. Neither does he know where God came from. But he does know that when he opens the Bible he meets God as the champion of goodness, and Satan at the head of the forces of evil. The two are in combat for the mastery of the human soul. Now what is the origin of—? But hold on! We are forgetting that we are reasoning together with Je— sus; .and He says nothing about where evil came from. Is that dis- appointing to you? If so, you are more curious than serious. Our In- quirer asks, “Is God almighty?” Well, Jesus says that He is. But He also says that man is sovereign; that he is free. Keep these essentials to- gether. Jesus does not discuss “whys” and “wherefores.” He simply relates present facts and asks us to recognize them. He recognizes sin and paints it in awful colors. But He provides a way of deliverance and so makes one responsible IfOr one’s choices. You are the determiner of your own destiny. Finally, the man who wishes good- ness and character must go to Jesus. Reason and faith dictate such a course. He is ready to give power to destroy the works of the Devil. If one ought to go to Chicago, and one has money enough' to go, moral con- straint holds one responsible for not going Every person has been given spiritual power to get to Je— sus; and therefore, here rests human responsibility. ‘One’s destiny is in one's own hands, and not “complete- ly in the hands of some supreme power,” as our fatalist friend says. Let there be a sober facing of this . fact. ;~ *‘i-fxmb‘nmu thorns-ta / ~- :7.

"The Farm Paper of Service” THE FU'HIRE . ROM the message on the front cover you have already learned that after this issue of THE Busrmcss FARMEB there will no longer be two farm papers in Michigan devoted solely to the interests of the farmers of our fair State. You have learned that THE MICHI- CAN BUSINESS FARMER and Tm: MICHIGAN FARMER have consoli— dated and from now on there will be only one weekly farm paper serving the farmers of Michigan. This merger does not mean that our fight for the farmers I of Michigan is at an end, or our service and many features are to be discontinued. The only way it could possibly mean that would be to sell out, and we have no right to do that. Sixteen years ago this next month Tin: BUSINESS Farms: was founded and many of you ' were asked to help build this new paper which made service to' agriculture its foundation, You did your part and it became a success. It con- tinued to grow, thanks to your assistance, until it became a regular visitor in over one hundred thousand Michigan term homes. To us who have had a part in the work it is not just a term paper, it is an institution 01 service, dedicated to serve Michigan agriculture. If we sold out we would be proving ourselves unworthy of the faith and support you folks have given us. We would be failing our best friends who came to our as- sistance when we needed help. But we have not sold out. Our fight .is’ to go on. and our features and service will {be continued. We have joined hands with Tun MICHIGAN Farmer and to- gether we will fight harder than ever, give great— J crud better servide, and issue a. weekly farm “ ' er than ill'be second to nous. ._ All offlodr good features which you have en- 'ficpied' and, we believe, wish to have continued 2 ,r'firill appear in the new publication. L. W. Mocks, ‘ of Broadmpe Farm, will continue his helpful and interesting letters or “news and views." Rev. Warner’s sermons will appear for a time at least and right along if you say so. Herbert Natziger, V. 0. Braun, C. H. Earnden, B. K. Osborn, and others who have been regular contributors to our columns will continue their services as in the past. And in addition to these you will receive the best features of THE Mrcmcan FARKEB. One can hardy picture a farm paper having so many . interesting and worthwhile features as the new A paper will contain. Certainly there is not one now in existence that can match it. , In the past both papers have been obliged to carry on the fight of local competition. Through the consolidation this is eliminated as is consider- able duplicated work so that now We may use "this ellort towards serving the farmers of Mich- ‘V ’ igan better than ever.

' , Editor. September 8th, 1928 " A LOOK AND [nouns YOUR CAR. US’I‘ the other day we read an item in a news- paper regarding a man who was driving along a main street of a western city with a new, automobile. ms hat blew oi! and he stopped his car to recover it. Alta chasing his hat for about a half block he finally got it and returned to and his ear had disappeared. In the short time he had been away from his car thieves had been able to make away with it. It the officers succeed in catching the thief he may get his car back, but if they do not he can recover only part of its value from insurance company, that is it he carried in- surance against theft, In any event he is out of the use of a car for a time and he loses money. Anyone driving an automobile should doubly protect themselves against loss through thievery. They should look their car when they leave it and they should carry insurance. And the insurance should not cover just theft but-fire, liability and collision as well. FABMER [S BUSINESS MAN N AN editorial in Printers" Ink, a magazine that I circulates among advertisers, we read the statement, “The farmer of today is a real bus- iness man, running his farm on a business basis.” More and more people in every walk of life are realizing that farming is not just a way to make a living when you have no trade. It is a business and it takes business men to run it and make a success. BULL ALMOST GOT HIM S Sylvester Trierwieler was recently crossing a pasture field on his farm near Ionia he was attacked by his herd bull and barely escaped with his life. The bull knocked him to .the ground and inflicted several bruises before he could be rescued. , You get the best service from a bull that gets exercise but he should never be allowed the run of a field, no matter how gentle he may appear to be. It is gentle bulls that kill people more often than ugly'ones because they catch folks un- awares. Every tarmer who owns a bull should build a bull pen in which to keep him. He gets the needed exercise without running at large. If you a herd bull write the Michigan State College-tor information and plans for the bull pen. Don’t wait until you or some of your family have an experience similar to that of Mr. Trierwieler. WOULD YOU? WESTERN farm paper asks the question, "If you were hiring men would you hire your- self?” That question is not so foolish as it may seem at first. Think it over and ask yourself. Would you? PICTURES IN COLOR F YOU are a great hand to take snapshots you welcomed with pleasure the recent announce- ment that George Eastman” of the Eastman Kodak Company, had invented a device for the, ready photographing of colors. If you have ever taken a picture of an orchard in full bloom, or of trees with branches hanging heavy with ripening fruit, a beautiful flower garden, or a wonderful landscape and been disappointed—with it because it lacked those many beauties that you saw with your naked eye you can see the possibilities or" this device. It seems almost too good to' be true.

H., Hunger, Michigan. . , HE advertisement that our sub- scriber enclosed was of the - World Garment Company, 346 ' Sixth Avenue. New York City, who advertise for ladies Who Want to make extra money, “spare time, ex- perience unnecessary; no selling.” Instructions and material for sewing dresses is what they have been sell- ing. We say “hays been" because the post office department recently charged them using the mails to defraud and putt'hem out of bus- u . these. A Mr. Frankstein and a Mr. Suc— cadola operated this work-at-home scheme which was similar to a large number of others’ we have discussed. They offered as high as $15.00 a doz- en for the sewing providing, of course, that it could pass their in— spectors; they were to be‘ sole judge as to whether or not the work we. satisfactory. -First a deposit of $1.50 was called for‘to pay for the sample garment. This garment was to be sewed and Submitted for approval. If it passed a deposit of $6.00 was re- quired to cover the cost of material for one dozen garments. If the first garment failed to pass inspection the deposit of $1.50 was supposed to be returned. Any other deposit was to be returned when the‘party gave up the work. ' — We would like to hear from any» reader of M. B. F. who had anything to do with this company, if there are any, to learn if they did keep their promises to refund the deposit. Most of these concerns are interested in getting the deposit and then seem to forget any premises they have .made. We. are wondering if the World Gar- ment Company was like that. As for helping our subscriber get a refund we are unable to do any- thing. Letters to the company are returned unopened by the order of the post office department. ADVERTISING' CHEAP TIRES ITHIN the last few days we re- ceived an advertising order from [an agency placing a fair- ly large ad fora concern selling cheap tires. The order went back to the agency in the next mail with a letter advising that we could not ac— cept that type of advertising. We could u’se the money all right but we do not intend to profit at the ex— pense of our subscribers. The ad stated that the tires being sold were “all standard makes—- slightly 'used and reconstructed." Prices ranged from $2.35 for a 30:3 to $4.95‘for a 33x6.00. Tubes ranged from $1.25 to $2.75. Also they. ad- vertised a. “Free Repair Kit with 2 Tire Order." Anyone familiar with the prices of standard make tires knows that it would be impossible to get tires that would prove service- able at any such low figure as they quoted in that ad. Certainly the re- pair kit would be needed badly and often. \ . For‘your protection they make the statement, “Satisfactory service guar- antee, or we adjust'at 1/2 price."

A motor- ist gets rid of a tire only after he ‘ has gotten about all the mileage out of it and before he begins to have trouble with it, so watch out for used tires. IJNOIEUM SALESMEN CALL V TWO linoleum remnant agents called on us this A. M. I asked them how it happened they had such large remnants left and they said they only did big jobs such as hotels and department stores, also said they were from Kalamazoo. I asked them to name some big concerns for whom they had worked but they would not. They also said they were going to do a job in Battle Creek today. I asked for whom and they said they didn't know but it was somewhere in Battle Creek. As I'didn’t have the money they said they would call tomorrow. Their story didn’t sound good to me. They had a Dodge touring car with a Tennessee license on it; No. 329-023. —Mrs. E. B. D., Ceresco, Mich. HESE chaps or some others of the T same breed are apparently quite active abOut the state. Our sub- scriber was informed as to their little scheme so she did not bite. Certainly if they had been doing any “big job‘s" . they would have been ready and will- ing to give her the names and ad- dresses ’she requested. Looks like most of their jobs have been confined to defrauding the people. ’ THANKS Just a line to let you know I received my money from the Northern Fabric Company and I Surely feel grateful to you people for helping me get it.

FOOD FALLACIES By 0. L. HUGHES (Dept. of Home Economics. M. S. O.) LSE ideas about food combina- ations and the effects of food in the body are ‘very common. Many of our mistaken ideas have been handed down from generation to generation and the origin of them is unknown to us. But because of the mysterious origin and because people, in general, lack scientific knowledge of the facts, a certain superstition prevails which makes people fear to do or not to do certain things. A very common idea prevails that fish is brain food and that celery and onions are nerve food. scientific foundation for this belief. Different classes of foods have defi— nite functions in the body, but we do not eat any one article of food for one organ of the body. ' Another mistaken idea concerning fish is that fish and ice cream, eaten together, form poisonous compounds. People who have been poisoned after eating fish and ice cream have doubt- less eaten one of these foods which was tainted in some way and eaten by itself would have had the same .«effect. Our popular food combination, ham and eggs, is really a food falm Both foods have practically the _ lacy. same food value—that is, both are protein or tissue building foods. From a dietetic standpoint it would be bet- ter to combine with the ham 3. green vegetable or a salad, thereby furn- ishing elements that the ham does not contain. However, ham and eggs are good together, and we need not worry about .a fallacy of this kind provided we understand the composi— tion of the ham and eggs and make up for the deficiencies either in the same meal or in other meals during the day. Many people hesitate to eat a ce- real with milk or cream or to drink milk at the same meal in which an acid fruit is eaten. As a matter of fact the gastric juice of the stomach is acid which means that when milk“ enters the stomach it comes in con- tact with acid. One would hesitate to combine excess acid with milk as it would be unpalatable. Lemon milk sherbert is a combination of lemon juice and milk and it practic- ally always has a curdled appearance before freezing yet no one hesitates to eat a fruit milk sherbert and no one has digestive or other disturb- ance from eating it. The amount‘ of acid obtained from 1 ‘orange or grapefruit eaten for break- fast is not enough to make unpalat- able or undesirable a cereal Vwith milk or cream or milk as a beverage. How many times we hear that brown eggs are more nutritious than white. pigment in the yolk of a brown egg which may give the 'egg a somewhat richer look, but chemically there is no difference in the composition of a brown and a white egg. " In certain markets a higher price is charged and willingly paid for white eggs but the woman who will pay more for white eggs because they look more attractive to her has money to waste. Many people have a similar feeling about the attract- iveness of white bread, but' fortun- ately we are coming to realize the . better health-giving properties and {better flavor of well-made dark breads as compared with white, and '30:", many people the time is past “when. they cling to the old custom of expecting foods - to be highly re- and white in color. 7 ‘ me; ,= "in: me more than the faces of- men. .I; 1» climbed its , There is no- There is often more ' ~apt tiring to stand on. ~ standing at alijtne work. hands. beauty? would grace the proudest home. introduced to avoid somberness. and colors. of entering mine?” they go to the fair and see blue ribbons pinned on work no better than theirs.

For what is workmanship without ' The trouble is Cheese is commonly supposed to be very difficult to digest. Cheese, as a matter of fact, is a food already part- ly digested, due to the ripening pro- cess. It is, to be sure a very concen- trated food being high in protein and in fat. All fats retard digestive pro- cesses, but if cheese is properly pre- pared and eaten and if the fact is taken into account that cheese is a very concentrated food one need not suffer digestive disturbances from eating it. Cheese is frequently eaten as a food accessory—on top of arr 'other- wise adequate meal and eaten in that way may cause digestive dis- turbances, but if eaten as a high pro- tein, high fat food. in place of other foods of like composition it is a val- uable addition to the diet. A word might be said here about. the cookery of cheese as that is an important factor in its digestibility. should be finely divided by grinding or, grating before attempting to cook it and should be cooked at a low or moderate temperature in order to avoid toughening'it or making it stringy. Tough, stringy cheese has always been" over heated or heated. too long and such cheese may be more difficult to digest. Contrasted with the class of people who look upon cheese as a food hard “to digest, is another group that con- siders cheese a great digester of oth- er foods. It is, therefore, plain to be seen that widely divergent ideas pre- vail concerning some one simple food. No article of this sort would be complete without a mention of bak- ing powders. Many people fear the use of alum baking powders because of the so-called ill elfects following its use. When an alum baking powd- er is used in'breads or cakes, two res- Cheese ‘ idues are left in the product. One of these is an aluminum compound which has been found to be relative- ly inert, and therefore does no harm. The other residue is sodium sulfaté’ whichhas a cathartic action if taken in large enough doses. But all types of baking powders leave a residue which has a cathartic action if taken in large enough amounts and sub« stances with such an action are, of course,‘not to be recommended. The amount of. cathartic residue to be found in baking powder products, - however, is small and unless one ha- bitually uses large quantities ,of bak— ing powder products one need have no fear of injury from eating such foods. Alum baking powders are objec- tionable to many of us from the standpoint of flavor due to the sodi- um sulfate residue which is bitter in taste, but not from the standpoint of healthfulness. A man once remarked that he had found from his‘own experince that one could eat large quantities of very strong foodifone drank with it a large quantity of Water. When questioned as to what he meant by “strong food" hexwasn’t quite sure himself and fumbled considerably in his reply. And so it goes with many more notions concerning foods and their wholesomeness. The present generation has a much ' better understanding of foods than previous generations have had, thanks to modern research and to the opportunity that We have for giv- ing «training in this very important subject. composition of foods, many of our false ideas concerning digestibility, wholesomeness, and effects of foods may vanish. .

His idea was to see how many words any— 0 e could make from the three words. ,_ .15 Children’s Hour Club.” I know the boys and girls like contests of this kind, so we had it. How many words do you suppose the list that 'won first prize contained? I’ll bet ' you could not guess in a dozen at- tempts. It contained 1059 words and was sent in by Anna Hoyt, R. 1, North Adams. As first prize she re- , ceived a package of stationery with a sealing wax outfit. Second prize went to. Pearl Faist, Reed City, who had 948 correct words and received a. ’ vanity set consisting of mirror, comb and case. A pair of temple book ends as third prize was won by Carp— line Bessy, R. 1, Alpena, who sent in ' a list of .878 words of which‘31 were incorrect. Stella Fry, R. 3, Glad- win, had 846 correct words—just one less than Caroline—and received fourth prize, a diary. _ I have some very good news for you! M. B. F. and the Michigan Farmer, the two farm papers that have served the farmers of this State for many years, have joined tOgether. That means that “The Children’s Hour" and the children’s department of the Michigan Farmer-will become one great big club of happy farm boys and girls. \Vhat a club it will be! I cannot tell you just how it is all going to work out right at this time because there, are still some de- tails to attend to, but I know it is going to be very nice. We will soon tell you all about it.—UNCLE NED. Our Boys and Girls Dear Uncle chz—I don’t suppose you remember me. I used to write to Our I'age often about 7 years ago.

If I am not too old now, Uncle Ned, may I write again and enter some more of the contests? I want to write a long let- ter if I may. Wells, R. 5, Dowagiac, Mich. _ -—Welcome back, Josephine. I am happy to know that you have been following Our Page closely right along although you have not written very often recently. If "you would like to join Our Clpb I will .send you a pin and card if you will for- ward two cents and promise to live up to our pledge. Will you?——Uncle Ned. Dear Uncle chz—Education is one thing that everyone should have in these days of big progress. No one can get along without education. A. boy or girl ‘without a 12th grade diploma is worth F ngfi'ling, especially when they are young because they'are notmnuch help at home and they can’t look for a job on nut 80 they might aswel con- tinue ~to go. to moo); and get a higher Trier 30b. ‘ who say that an education An old friend—Josephine. education, then they‘are ready for a bet-'1‘ cobalt. They .‘ style before long." I ' I - .: don’t know What theyfiro leaving behind. I hear a' lot of people say that they are sorry that they didn’t get a high school education when they were young because they need it now. If you are educated you can always reach a higher stage in this world. ' r ‘ Nowadays you don’t need to spend a lot of money, to be educated. If everyone was educated in thistworld it would be a different place to live in, but I guess this is impossible. Anyway, everybody needs an education these days—John Vlock, R. 2,.Box 70, Carleton,- Mich. ‘ > '-—-Your ideas ‘regarding education are very good, John, and will no doubt cause others .to write on the ‘subject.——_-Uncle Ned. ' Dear Uncle Nedz—The letter of “A Wild FldWer in Full 'Bloom” has arousedr me to action. I agree with you, Uncle Ned, 'I think ‘fWild Flower” is not as wild as she claims to be. , I do not think Eathel Sharp is old fashioned just because she is~against drinking, smoking, etc. I suppose “Wild Flower” will consider me old fashioned also, but if she does she is mistaken. I am as much of a flapper as she is if not more. , I abhor drinking and smoking al- though I do like bobbed hair. It is our placerto take care of the health of others, isn’t it? As for public dance halls, shows, and such, I don't see anythi g the matter with them. I do not go to public dances because we live too far away from them but I attend shows frequently. I to? am sociable, Eathel and “Wild Flower,” and I have lots of friends, and A. SMILE FOR EVERYONE Bernice Allen, R. 1, Box 73, Elmira, is known as “The Smile Girl" because she has a‘sunny disposition and a smile for all. boy friends too. I am not wild. I wonder if “Wild Flower" considers herself a- sport? I don’t, at least not a good sport. Anyone who con- sidch drinking and smoking all right is not a good sport to my way of thinking. When a person is sociable and also tries to get young fellows to cut out smoking and drinking they are what I consider good sports. As for there not being anything in life when you are old, I think she is silly. Old people enjoy themselves as much as we young ones do. I'think I have said enough about “Wild Flower” so I will say something about myself. I am a sophomore in high school 'and am considered the third best scholar in high. There is one thing in life that I have always wished for and that is a mother’s love, which I have never known. My mother died when I was 2 years old. One more word to "Wild Flower." You have heard from another “Flapper Gal” and what is your opinion of her? Not much I'bet.—”Sandy." O --I am sorry, “Sandy,” that you have never known the love of a mother. Cer— tainly you have missed one of the very finest things in life. - Dear Uncle Ned.-——-I am going to give my opinion on the subject the President wants us to discuss. I heartily agree with Eathel and John, but disagree with “Wild Flower.” ‘ I know lots of boys that every where you see them they have a big pipe or a cigarette in their mouth. I think that looks pretty bad but still worse when they get intoxicated. They don’t know what they are doing. I think getting drunk is worse than smoking, don’t you. Uncle Ned? - I think our great—grandmothers had just as much fun in their young days as we do now, for that matter. And I think. they lived a more spiritual life than a lot_ of the younga' generation. I think there ‘ are other ways of. having fun instead of going to shows and dances, and {know the ones that don't gonna just as hapm’ as the ones that do...

I surely“ had a. wonderful time, Uncle Ned. You should have been there, you’d have enjoyed yourself very much. I suppose there Were many cousins that I didn’t know. I wish I knew all the cousins but that’s impossible? I am preparing myself for high school. Do you think I will like it, Uncle Ned? I think I will. I think every boy and girl ought to go to high school. Well I must ring off. I hope the waste basket has just had his tonsils out. Your nephew. —John - Vlock, R. 2, Box "0, Carleton, Mich. ' " ——Hello, John. You are getting to be a regular caller. I am sure you will like your work in high school. Some girls and boys do not'but they should stick to it just the same.because some day they will be very sorry if they drop their work. College training is very valuable in making a success of life noWadays.— Uncle Ned. Dear Uncle Ned.~—How is the world treating you these fine: days? Just fine'? W'ell, that’s fine. What? Did you say not so good? Well, that certainly is too bad. I, certainly like to, read the Children’s Hour. I am interested‘ln the discussions. I just got through reading John Vlock’s and “Wild Flower’s” letters. I agree with John fully. Stick to it, John. There aren’t very many boys that will say that. I just despise a boy that drinks. I think drink is the worst habit that was ‘ever formed. A man who offers drink‘ to his boys is certainly a fool, I think, and the boy that can refuse drink from his father is a sport. He knows what is good for him. That kind of a. boy is away up in my opinion. As for “Wild Flower" I certainly disa- gree with, her strongly in some ways. Certainly we don’t have to be old—fash< ioned and sit around with long faces as if we had lost our last friend. But I really don’t like to see these half dressed, boy— ish bobbed, and painted faced flappers running around. I must admit I do use face powder a little but I don’t put it on like some girls do. _ Another thing I despise is public dance halls and theaters. I don’t think a girl or boy will go to those places. There are lots of nice amusements without going to them.

Keystone Rotation * ‘ The Keystone rotation has now been in operation eight years‘and as Dracticed on the “home” farm con- sists of: First year, oats and peas with whiCh sweet clover is seeded. A _ bushel each of oats and field peas are' used "'with from 10 to 12 pounds of sweet clover seed. The second year is naturally the ‘~ second year for “the sweet clover. The first growth is out high for hay, the second growth-is allowed to grow un- til late in the summer when it is plowed under, and the ground seeded to vetch and rye, one bushel or rye and from 12 to 15 pounds of'vetch. The third year, the rye and vetch is cut for grain, the stubble is dished under and more vetch and rye sowed. Generally enough shatters while cut- ting the grain to reseed the soil it it is well covered and packed. » The fourth year, this growth 0 vetch andrye is disked or plowed under and a cultivated crop such as corn, potatoes, beans or soybeans seeded. When alfalfa is to be sown, it is seeded at this point in the rota-v tion; occasionally the soil is put to oats, and sweet clover seeded with it. vetch andrye is seeded in it previous to the last; cultivation. 'On the 28th of August, they were just cultivating in vetch and rye that had been sown in the corn. Liming is invariably applied the first thing on the program. Some limestone has been applied but more recently the practice has been to put on five or six loads of marl per acre. Soil acidity must be corrected before such a legume pro- gram can succeed and the reader will at once observe that there isoa legume growing on the soil during three years out of the tour and that ample provision is made for plowi under organic matter. believes that most of these sandy soils need organic matter first and that saving the season’s moisture i one of the big problems, so the rota tion provides for plenty of organ 0 matter. ‘ One other tenet of the syste needs emphasis. Long ago Hager~ man became convinced that sandy soils always suffer from plowing and‘ x no the rotation provides that no soil shall lie bare during the winter. As far as possible, the ground is stirred with the disk and then it is always packed down again with the culti- packer. For farming sandy soil, he considers this the most valuable of - all tools. He advises that it be used to complete the work on all fields and that it be run north and south so the prevailing west winds will not have a chance it? sweep up the fur- . rows and commence eating away the soil. _ Over the Route ‘ Now we will take a swift run over the route of the tour and you can see it through my eyes. Here we are at step one, where sweet clover was seeded in oats last spring. A year ago, this was in corn but Jack cut it hard in August, vetch and rye were seeded in it the last cultivation and last spring, the vetch and rye made such a growth that it was pastured some and the plow had to be used to get it under at that. The sweet clover is a fine catch, one plant on about every six- inch square. _ I see little lumps of the marl left on top of the soil. This soil is certainly light stuff, a little dark on top but sent down a bit and you are into the real old ginger sand. ‘ Doctor McCool would call it Plain- field sand.‘ It would make a. fine sandpile if it was bleached a little. Stop two new is just like stop one when I saw it last August. But now it is in second growth sweet clover, knee high, the first crop having beem out eight or ten inches for hay. There is a lot of seed on this second D 4 .growth sweet clover and the‘fellow next‘vto me says, “Isn't it- a shame to plow under such a crop as this the renegade- the third» year _ a?

"s. inshore“ before our eyes; This field grew 9. fine crop. of vetch and rye-which is now waiting to be threshed, the ground has been dished up and ‘the cultipacker is at work, covering the'second seeding of vetch and rye and arming the soil. It is running north and south. Probably the manmn the cultlpacker knows the better than I do for it ‘is a hot day. ‘ , Stop four and we are looking at wonderful com” the best I have seen anywhere north of Grand Rapids. When I saw this field the 20th of June, the corn rows appeared as faint yellow streaks through a sea of blue-green quack. But now it looks like it might make 45 or 50 bushels to the acre. A wonderful green color. Across the field on an- other farm is corn that looks more like saffron. . The Keystone system contemplates putting all food through the barns and spreading the manure back on the fields. This corn is on alfalfa sod, manured, and 150 pounds per“ acre of 24 per cent superphosphate used. , Establising Alfalfa Stop five is a story of what fer- tilizersto use for establishing al- falfa on this soil type. It is noon and the sun is playing on our backs. The sweat trickles down if we stand too long in one spot. Green is cooling. Here are five green strips, four of them much greener than the fifth. Between each one is a new alfalfa seeding, no treatment—straw col- ored. The trips are 0—16—0, 0-16—8, 046-16, 0-16-24, and 0-16-30. The superphosphate strip is little better than lime alone but the alfalfa shows up greener‘and thicker and ranker as the potashcontent of the fertilizer is increased. “B. 0." ad- vises the folks to use 200 pounds per acre of an 0~20—20 formula for es- tablishing alfalfa on this soil type. Now we are at the dairy barn where these good legume roughages are stoked into grade Guernsey cows. These cows have been in the local cow testing association ever since 9 there were enough of them. for the herd was started in a practical way, using a purebred bull on grade cows. And'here again are signs of the im— provement which this practice brings and cow testing association records bring out. Here is one of the ori— ginal grade cows that ‘made 410 pounds of butterfat as a four year old but right beside her is her daughter that made 443.6 pounds of butterfat as a two year old!

There’s a farmer in Ohio who averages very close to a hundred bushels' of corn from an acre, while his neighbors are getting sixty. And there are farm men and women who are getting a full hundred cents’ worth of value and satisfaction from each dollar they spend, while others get less. The cotton grower has selected his seed—and used the most up-to—date methods in raising crops. So has the corn grower. Neither has guessed about anything.

'The last 'low point in sheep, numbers was reached ,in 1922. Since then there has been considerable expansion in flock numbers andfthis'cxwpansion ap- pears to be continuing. Flock num- ;bers at the beginning of 1928‘were the largest ‘in‘1'6 years and ‘23 per cent larger than in 1922, with more than half of this increase taking place during the last two years. The industry is definitelyon the upward swing of the production cycle and numbers have increased at a prom gressive rate, averaging for the last six years about 1,500,000 head per year, while slaughter'in the last five years has increased on an average only about 400,000 per year. The increase in slaughter has been largely , offset by the upward .trend in the consumer demand for lamb with the result that lamb prices, barring sea- sonal variations and short periods of excessive market supplies have been comparatively steady for several years, hence the domestic market can absorb some increase in lamb pro- duction each year at least in line with the normal increase in popula- tion. MICHIGAN DAIRYMEN TAKE THE ’ LEAD ICHIGAN dairymen are setting the pace for quality herd pro- duction that is too hot for many other states to follow. ' The recent classification made by the Bureau of Dairying, Washington, D. 0., shows that 61 %% of the herds tested in 82 Michigan D. H. I.‘. A’s during 1926-27 averaged more than 300 pounds butterfat. There were 1,829 herds studied in this tabula- tion. 1,125 of them produced more than 300 pounds butterfat average. 38%% or 704 herds produced less than that amount. For herds producing more than Michigan Holsteiners MILING SKIES following a rains; day brought out close to five hundred Holstein folks to the Sixth Annual Field Day held Friday, August 25th,- at Blythefield Farms, Grand Rapids. The visitors soon joined the heav- ens—that is in the smiling business -—-for Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Brew- er, owners of Blythefield and hosts of the day ushered the crowd to the groaning tables arranged in the spacious decorated implement shed. The big feed, served by the Pantlind Hotel, started the program with a bang! The one speaker was H. W. Nor- ton, Jr., of Delavan, Wisconsin, Su- perintendent of Advanced Registry for the Holstein Eriesian Association of America. He explained the new herd test, complimenting Michigan breeders for the top place held by their State in numbers engaged in the test. .A surprise attack was made on Prof. O. E. Reed when his many Hol- stein friends presented him with a "little farewell memento—a fountain pen desk set. Prof. ’lowed that he would not soon forget/Michiganders in his new position as chief of the Bureau of Dairying, Washington, D. C. ‘ ‘ There Is plenty to be seen in a. herd like Blythefield which was fifth highest last year in the U. S. A. in proven production. Each animal was placarded with name, age and recs ords.

C. Baltzer, “FLUSHING” INCREASES LALIB CROP HEN ewes are bred they should be gaining. in~ weight. Place them on abundant pasture or add a grain supplement for two or three weeks before breeding. This practice, called “flushing,” tends to increase the proportion of twin lambs and thus increase the lamb crop. In " six years of experimental work the Bureau of Animal Husbandry of the United States Department of Agri- ,culture found that there was an av- . erage of 187 more lambs per 1,000 ewes as a result of flushing.

SUB-ACUTE INDIGESTION I have a mare that has sick spells come on her at times when I water her. These come on mostly in the winter although she has had a couple lately after being on grass. The symptoms are, she goes off her feed, lifts her upper lip, switches her tail, drops her head to the floor, pawing and making/short to lay down. After laying down she passes a quantity of grass and is all right. I feed her mixed alfalfa hay. Would like to know what is the trouble and rem- edy.——H. 0., Arcadia, Mich. HIS mare is bothered with sub— T acute indigestion or what is known in the human as colitis. This is a chronic inflammation of the large colon or large gut. ‘ Sometimes horses show these symptoms more when being fed corn. If you feed this mare corn, discontinue itand feed other grains. The only thing to do -for this animal is to feed her lightly and attempt to keep her bowels in good condition through careful teed- mg. Have pigs in thrifty growing condition before cold weather begins. For heavy winter production, pullets must be well developed and vigorous. Larger farm businesses will make more than small ones with normal conditions. Fall freshenlng is conducive to a higher production per cow for the year. .‘ .i if ..y.' fi"":“""". ‘. mg. n .I_.., .. s“ A]. I: n. nimip , ,Ilyllmnllrh l rim}! m i ‘ ‘ r ” ‘ .: Jill?!

Cured His Rupture I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. ~ Doctors said my only hope of cure was an ,operation. Trusses did me no good.

MICHIGAN STATE FAIR PROVES TO BE “BEST SHOW YET” (Continued from page 3) hibits of grain, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, flowers, the State Department of Agriculture, and several others. Like in livestock, entries in grain. potatoes, vegetables and fruits were greater than oflicials expected and everything was crowded. It looks as though we built our Agricultural Building too small or we are going to have to put the flowers in a special building of their own. Calhoun county had a very inter-’ esting and attractive display of fruit. In the center of their exhibit ap- peared a picture of the White House and below it was a question mark made of apples. Then on one side of the White House was a large ele— phant, and on the othervside was a donkey, both of them made up of apples. Below the first one appeared the name, “Herb” and below the other, “Al.” They also played up a slogan, “Michigan Fruit for Flavor," that was very good. M. S. C. Exhibits “ The outstanding exhibits in the Coliseum were those of the animal husbandry and poultry husbandry departments of Michigan State Col— lege. No thinking person could stand before any of them for a moment without taking away with him some worthwhile thought. ,With a banner across the top of their exhibit de- claring, “Better Poultry Pays,” the poultry department showed with charts and living examples how it does. And the displays of the ani- mal husbandry department Were equally as eflective. Some of their slogans were: “Feed Hogs for More Profitable Returns,” “Breed Good “Grow Colts, Well,” “Save Only the Best for Breeders,” “Pasture Beef at a Profit,” “Dairy Profits, are Increased“ by Properly Feeding Selected Cows," and “Intelligent Breeding, Feeding_ and weeding Make the Difference." With these to start one thinking there were charts and living exam- ples to give further information. Across the top of it all appeared a banner carrying the line, "LivestOCk ———the Basis of Permanent Agricul- ture.” . , ‘ Any farm man or woman who vis- ited these exhibits and did not profit by it, who did not find something in '. them to take home and try out with profit to themselves, is hopeless. There were other exhibits of great interest in the Coliseum of‘ which that, of the State Department of Con- servation -was outstanding.

Moore, Prof; of Poultry Husbandry, I M“ INFECTIOUS BRONCBITIS Some of our hens make a wheezing noise and finally their ‘combs get blue and they linger along for some time and die. They have no swell- ing of the head or eyes. Could you tell me what youthink the trouble is and what to do for them?—G. B., Holland, Mich. seems to me that your chicks qust have an infectious bronchi- ’ tis. The best method of handling this disease is to keep the sick chicks . away from the well ones and to clean up and disinfect regularly. a Clean and disinfect the feeders and foun- tains every day or at least every other day until the birds recover. Feed all grain and mash in the feed- ers so the birds do not pick up infec- tion with the feed. Believe you can overcome the trouble by handling it in this-manner.

(Special to Tim anmnss Funannl I ARM markets settled'into' slower pace during the opening days of the fall season. There were not "manyvsharp changes in price or in market position. Grain and cotton Continued "unsettled, waiting for more crop news. Live stock and wool prices held fairly well. Dairy products and eggs at least hold their own: Potatoes lost what few price gains Wore made the .past few weeks. Onions made further gains. Melons and tree fruits find prices mostly well maintained. Grains Unsettled to Steady The wheat market continued un- settled. erally below market requirements and prices held steady as a result of a‘ continued active demand. Arrivals of oats and barley were only moder- ate and were readily taken at ad- vancing prices. The. flax markets were practically unchanged, with a good demand prevailing for the larg- er receipts. Rye prices fluctuated with wheat. ‘ Hay Firm The hay market was generally (firm. Prices of most feeds were lower in early September, influenced by. liberal offerings and a slow de— mand. Pastures and meadows are mostly good from the Mississippi Valley eastward, which is restricting the demand for mill feeds. Produc- tion of wheat feeds continued of good volume and with a slow demand, prices declined. ' Good Demand for Cattle The cattle market was featured by urgent shipping demands for finished grades of fed steers, choice light and medium weight butcher hogs and for fat lambs, while the hopeful view of future prices held by finishers was reflected by a broad and insistent country demand for'feeding grades of both cattle and lambs. Hogs and Sheep The August hog supply at leading primary markets was among the smallest for August in recent years. Cattle marketings during the week carried an increased quota of grass- ers but showed a distinct lessening in the numbers of long fed cattle .With weight. The crossing of the $13 line for best light and medium- wcight hogs, the scoring of an ex- treme of $17.75 on choice yearlings and mediumweight steers .and a $15.50 top on fat range lambs Were high lights in the recent trading. Increasing prospect for a bumper corn crop and large supplies of rough feeds was apparently the urge Eeehind the activity of finishers for ed lot material. Wools Stronger Domestic wools, quarter bloods, trengthened slightly in eastern markets, but quotations on some of the finer qualities of the longer .staple grades of territory wools were slightly lower in early September. i' Demand Improves for. Butter 1 Buying is more nearly absorbing current arrivals of butter, which are still on the decrease as the season goes forward. Production conditions are now thought to be fairly favor- able. producing sections has been favor— able to pastures. Firm conditions prevailed on the cheese markets during the first days of September. At Wisconsin country markets, trade was reported as fair, although it was quite spotted. The net result to date indicates that 1928 production is only slightly in excess of 1927. ‘ Eggs Firm The egg markets continue to be featured by light receipts and fairly ‘firm cOnditions. The movement out ; ofncold storage has not been as heavy ' g ’ as a’ year ago, and for this reason it - ‘ffnow appears that the shortage in * j storage'as compared with a year ago,» has been wiped out.

The city jobbing price for midwestern yellows was .firm at $2.75 to $3.65 per sack. Fruits ° Central and eastern peaches sold in terminal markets mostly at a range of $1 to $2.50 per crate or bushel basket. Bushel baskets of pears from Michigan ruled $2 to $2.25 in Chicago. ‘ ' Eastern fall apples were jobblng at 60 cents to $1.50 per bushel the first week of September, but Arkan- sas Jonathans brought $2 to $2.35 in the Middle West. Kansas City re- ported Missouri stock at $1.50 to $1.75. Shippers in southwestern Michigan got mostly 90 cents per bushel of best Oldenburgs. Beans V Field beans are expected to find a good market demand, because the old crop holdings are nearly gone and the new crop promises lighter pro— ~duction except in the Rocky Moun- tain region and possibly Michigan, which had a poor crop last season.
