HE government ‘rules and regu-



lationsbearing on this year’s



wheat crop supplies very; accur-

ate information on the marketing of

‘the' Michigan 1919 wheat crop. They

leave little to speculation or to the

imagination. One needs to guess much

less as to what is the better thing to

do than usual. This crop is so linked

up with the crop that is to follow be-

cause of the probable carry-over that

the same old decision will have to be

made, however, whether to hurry the

grain to market or to hold it back.

The two courses seem to run almost

parallel this year. The Grain Corpor-

ation, through the control of carrying

charges, railroad permits, imports and

exports and its power of lowering 'the

resale price, will almost over-rule the

law of supply and demand throughout

the crop: year.



In order to induce the holding of

wheat, the Grain Corporation promises

certain carrying charges, or premiums

on deferred sales, reserving the right

to itself to give or to withhold. This

powertwill doubtless be used to insure

a constant flow of grain as it is desir-

ed by the Grain Corporation through—

out the year. I see as possible advan-

tages of holding grain back:





First. By holding growers who pre-

fer to exchange wheat for flour, rather

than to buy flour and sell wheat, will

insure a year around supply for the



” purpose. Michigan has an unusual va-

riety of wheat this year, having raised,

in addition to her usual soft varieties,

a liberal quantity of hard spring wheat.

This will make a far greater use of

Michigan milled flour probable and no



.Michigan farmer should fail to make

the widest possible use of Michigan

wheat in the interest of his next year’s

market. ,



. Second. The fact that ithe seller

knows that he need not part with his

wheat} below a set figure, provided he

markets before May 31, 1920. No fears

of actual price loss need harass the-

holder during this period should he

decide to await the possibility of some

higher prices than the guaranteed one.

There is a possibility of premiums ov-

er the guaranteed price. Occasions



. may arise .‘during the year when premi-

ums can be obtained,‘ by Michigan

growers, but .we very much doubt this.



On‘ the other hand, early marketing

will have some advantages worthy of

consideration. The very first soft win-

ter wheat may bring premiums from



’ anxious millers, although it would now

appear that soft winter flour stocks

would be carried Over in most mar.

souri and other southwestern soft

All of these usual exporters promise

to be unable to contribute, or indeed,

may become actual importers. So that,

at the present moment, we may expect

that for all the "world overseas require-

ments of wheat in excess of 340,000-

000 bushels the United States .will be

called upon to furnish. It is probable

that we must reach a conclusion that

the import requirements of bread

grains into Europe will approximate

650,000,000 to 700,000,000 bushels for

the coming crop year.' Add to this

quantity the normal requirements of

gate 750,000,000 to 800,000,000 bushels.

So that it seems quite possible that

there will fall upon America an over-

seas demand of 410,000,000 to 460,000;

000 bushels. The largest previous ex-

port movement of wheat and flour

from America was the crop-year of

1914-1915 amounting to 332,000,000

bushels. Estimating our yield for seed

and home consumption, and estimat-

ing practically no carry-over, allows

for export and carrying over, the dif-

ference between 1,200,000,000 and 600.-

000,000, or 600,000,000.



The greatest export movement from

the United States to date was 332,000,-

000 bushels. Plans for a movement

this year of at least 400,000,000 bush-

els leave us with a carry-over, at the

very least, of 200,000,000 and a world

carry-over of 400,000,000 bushels. An

apparent world surplus in excess of

400,000,000 bushels of wheat hanging

over the market, creates a great prob

lem, and yet it would appear that the

price would maintain itself throughout

the greater part of the year, especially

should the grower show any inclina-

tion to hold grains on the farms.



Storage will doubtless be taxed to

the limit when the movement once

gets into full swing throughout the

spring and winter wheat territories,»

except that storage which is limitless

——the wheat stacks. Where wheat can

be stacked in good condition, this stor-

age may be used 'vcry liberally.



It would appear that the movement

of wheat should run about as follows:

The first wheat marketed will go to

the millers; they have empty bins and

waiting customers. Competition be-

tween millers for this wheat is so keen

that they are bidding over the guaran-

teed price for the first run. Until pre-

miums on wheat disappear, no one, ex-

cepting millers, can handle wheat prof-

itably. The millers’ first purchases

Will go‘into immediate consumption.



AS soon as the premiums disappear,

the Grain Corporation and terminal

warehouse men will begin to take

grain. The Grain Corporation will want

wheat and flour for export and with a

carrying charge promised, the millers

will be glad to take some wheat at

basic prices for storage. The ware-

house man will‘take grain, until his

houses are full, Whenever storage

charges are assured.



Until terminal warehouses are filled

and export demand satisfied, the obli-

gation of the United States Grain Cor-

poration to take wheat at the basic

price when offered, removes all selling

pressure from the market. What may

happen after that date, time alone can

tell. Mr. Barnes thinks the carryover

will be no greater than the reserves





of a great country like ours should be. .

is exceptionally good.



While the farm labor situation is a

who ship their products to market in

The public believes that the best

experiment of selling breeding animals

at satisfactory prices unless their skin

and coats are in good condition.



Right here we wish to impress upon

breeders the importance of proper

feeding and grooming, as well as keep-

ing the animals free from insects and

vermin. Cattle that are fed roots and

silage along with their dry roughage

and grain feeds will develop plenty of

oil in their coats to give them a heal-

thy, sappy appearance, if given proper

grooming with a coarse brush. If one

lacks these succulent feeds a little oil

meal added to the ration will work

wonders in stimulating a healthy con-

dition of the skin and promoting a. fine.

ing will keep the pores ofthe skin op-

Insects and vermin are not difficult

to hold in check where proper atten-

tion is given to bedding and sanita-

tion. Hogs require more attention

than cattle, but will keep practically

free from these pests if provided with

clean nests and patent oiling appar-

atus, or posts covered with old sacks

saturated with commercial dips or

home-mixed remedies. A pure-bred

the Seed ter appreciated by the



« average farmer than



SUPP” ever before, yet most





of us fall far short of

an adequate appreciation of this fac-

tor of farm success. ‘A pure strain of

a. hardy variety of seed with strong

germinating power goes far to start

any crop ,auspiciously, and nothing can

make up for a poor start with, any

crop. This isa fact which is univer-

sally recognized. No farmer intends

to sow poor seed, but too often the

exigencies of the season practically

compel many to do this very thing,

which is a serious, handicap right at

the start of any crOp growing enter-

prise. ‘ .



The best insurance against this

handicap is to get good seed “while

the getting is good." The'threshing

season is the best possible time to se-

cure good seed grain. Pedigreed grain

of known quality and reproductive pre-

potency is undoubtedly the best in-

vestment and the farmer who has suf-

ficient faith in his business and a

broad vision of its possibilities will

make an effort to secure such seed.



But the next best thing for any

farmer to do is to secure the best seed

obtainable in his own community. If

some neighbor has a variety or strain

of grain which gives better yields un-

der similar soil and cultural'conditions

than the variety we are growing we

should secure this seed for our own

sowing. Special attention should be

paid to purity. This is especially true

of' Rosen rye, which is a remarkable

example of varietal seed improvement.

Unfortunately most of this rye is mix-

ed and results will be largely in pro-

portion to the purity of the seed, and

its trueness to type.

M Under“ 1”: ”White ‘ .
‘ A FEW evenings ago, the campus of the Mich-





igan Agricultural College presented an un-



usual spectacle. Some fifteen hundred peo-

ple were seated on improvised bleachers, or were

unable to get seats at all, to witness a pageant,

"The Festival of Maytime,” given by the girls of

the college. The general idea was to represent

the causes of the Allies, with the addition of some

other groups that have a general interest for ev-

eryone. As the crowning event, the Spirit of





Democracy was crowned, and she in turn crowned





the Queen of the May.



Many nations and peoples were represented:

English dancers, Alsatian girls, Belgian peasant

women, Italian women, Highland lassies, Irish Col-

leens, English foresters, and others. These were

all dressed after the manner of the Country they

represented while others paraded by in stately

march. The effect of these many groups was mag-

nificent. The fading light of day, together with

the dark green of the turf, gave the scenes a gor-

geous effect. When all was over, the entire com-

pany marched by, to give one final impression of

.what had been acted before the audience. Per-

haps, with due respect to the other participants,

the group that caused' the greatest sensation was

the “Fashionable Promenade.” Dresses were worn

that had reposed in bottom bureau drawers and

in trunks in the attic, for decades. In fact, some

looked as though they might have been worn

before the flood. As these ancient dames passed

by, the women laughed and Wept, while their hus-

bands stood reverently at attention. What would

outfits like those cost now!



It was very evident that the people appreciated

this effort of 'the college girls. Requests were

heard on every side, to make the pageant an an-

nual affair. The interest among all classes was





‘ manifest. Such a pageant has a real value to the

{community where it is given. as well as to the





players themselves.



I said to Mrs. Roseboom, an instructor in the

College, and the presiding genius of the “Festival

of Maytime,” “Of course, Mrs. Roseboom, this is

an exceptional community. This is a college town.

some little country town, or in some village where

they need such diversions the most.” “Of course,

you could have just such pageants,” said Mrs.

Roseboom emphatically, “and you can have them

in the smallest villages as well as the larger

towns. And in fact, some small towns have done

years.” Then she told of a town in Iowa, I think

the three-times-a-week stage brought, and there in

that town they have used the local Indian history

to work out some splendid pageants. And when

one of these is given, the countryside for miles is

deserted. Everybody has gone to town to see the

pageant. It beats Ringling and Hagenbeck all hol-

it, and the whole affair is of the people, by the

people and for the people. Scores, perhaps hun-

dreds take part, and this affects, interests, inspires

hundreds or even thousands. Mrs. Roseboom stat-

ed that it was not necessary to go to classical an-

tiquity for the plot, nor to professional drama.

Every town in the land has enough local history

to provide material for a splendid pageant. She





said the girls suggested all of the college pageant.





One said they ought to have some Puritans going

to church with muskets over their shoulders. An-

other said they ought to have a group represent-

ing the women of brave little Belgium, and so on.



The pageant can be used to great effect in the

teaching of patriotism. There is vast material

from American history, that has enough thrills in

it to make shouting patriots of us all. The pag-

eant also has a direct educational value. No audi-

ence can witness the acting that represents anoth-

er nation, or that represents local history, without

being wiser, for it. And the moral value of the

pageant can hardly be overestimated. In a New

England town, a pageant was given illustrating

the rural problem. In Wisconsin the coming of

the missionaries to the Indians was vividly pre—





sented. In a Massachusetts town, scenes from the _

American Revolution were fittingly chosen. In '





California, Spanish and Mexican history was used

as the background.



The schools, churches and granges in town and

country may well turn to the pageant as a power-

ful method of developing community spirit, and of

raising the intellectual and moral tone. The state

library at Lansing will furnish material and sug-

gestions to anyone writing for it.

GOVERNMENT AIDING PACKERS.





 





, HE recent decline in beef prices,

’ due to the falling off of the Euro.

pean demand for American meats, has

so alarmed the live stock and packing

. interests of the country that the gov-

ernment has decided to finance “to a

’ limited extent” the exportation of cat-

tle and cattle products.



Thelaction of the government means

that the American public will have no

chance to benefit through cheaper

meat prices by the failure of Europe

to buy America’s enormous beef crop

at war levels. 'The War Finance Cor-

poration, acting under the law author-

izing this organization to advance

credits to stimulate foreign trade, gave

out the following statement:



“The War Finance Corporation an-



nounces that it is prepared to enter-

tain applications from responsible Am-

erican exporters or American banks

for advances against the export of cat-

tle and cattle products to foreign coun-

tries, as authorized by the war finance

corporation act.

. “This plan will result in the estab-

lishment of credits here for the pur-

pose of stimulating exports and there

by broaden the demand for these prod-

ucts. ”



The announcement was authorized

by Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing direc-

tor of the War Finance Corporation,

who returned recently from Europe.



Coming closely'upon the heels of the

recent statement of the Department of

Agriculture that the future of the cat-

tle raising industry of the country was

being endangered by the failure of Eu-

rope to take the American meat sur-

plus and the apparent refusal of the

American public to increase its con-

sumption of beef at present prices,

the Finance Corporation’s annOunce-

ment is regarded as significant.



It. is taken to mean that prevailing

high prices of beef and beef products

must be maintained if the cattle indus-

try, greatly stimulated during the war,

is to be preserved in its present state.

. . Lowering prices to a level which au-

tomatically would increase the con-

sumption of beef in the United States,

it is argued, would prove no induce-

ment to the cattle raiser to continue

production on the present large scale.

Therefore, the meat must be disposed

of outside the United States with the

aid of government funds, a procedure

which, according to a recent statement

of the Federal Reserve Board, puts the

American consumer in the position of

bidding against himself and thus keep

up the high price of commodities.





ATTACKS FARM LOAN BANKS.





 





HARGES that the federal farm

loan banks are violating many of

, the laws regarding loans to farmers,

_ were made by Representative McFad-

den. of Canton, Pa., under an exten-

" sion of remarks printed in the Con-

gressional Record.



Mr. McFadden declared that the re-

quirement that loans shall be made





_. 6 only to resident land owners has been





1 disregarded and that many “dummy





can." have been approved which per»





mlt evasion of the $10,000 maximum



fixed by congress for a loan on one



7‘ He urged ‘that congress make

land bank bonds taxable, as-

thet this would enhance the



value of Liberty Bonds.



“In their mad rush to secure a large





 





ruins of loans .219 banks continu‘





 





ously and persistently violate the ex-

press provisions of the law by resort-

ing to subterfuges that render them

liable to the censure of congress and

the courts," Mr. McFadden said. _



“The rulings of the federal farm

loan board show that tenantry is en-

couraged and that practically no re.

striction is imposed to enforce the in-

tent of the law requiring a loan to be

made to actual farmers.



“The maximum loan requirement is

evaded by allowing a farmer to sell an

interest to his wife and then" permit-

ting loans of $10,000 to each. In some

cases another relative or partner has

been taken in. I know of two cases

which were investigated by reliable

abstractors and it was found loans of





$32, 000' and $41,300 were made on two

Iov’va farms , . .



“Loss of taxes, both federal, and

local, results from the present farm’

loan system. The . enormous volume

of tax-free bonds that the federal farm





'loan beard promises to issue in the





future Will have a depressing effect on

the prices of government war bonds.

We can stimulate the priceof Liberty

Bonds and compel tax dodgers to pay

war taxes by requiring owners of fed-

eral land bank bonds to pay income

taxes on them.



“The transformation of taxable farm

tor to escape his jus'tshare of the tax-

THE MICHIGAN FARMER:



I am just in receipt of your is-

sue of July 19, and find the de-

nial of my charges against the

W001 Purchase Deal of the 1918

clip- by Mr. A. W. Elliott, chief

of the War Department Wool



. Section, etc. I am very much

pleased that you have given this

publicity, as it affords me oppor-

tunity to inform your readers

whom this War Department rep-

resentative is.



I have just learned that for

years he has been connected

with the Boston wool dealers.

He is now there and makes it

his business to look after wool

matters from that point. By his

statement the public would be

led to believe that I had charg-

ed the Boston wool dealers of

buying wool at about sixty-five

cents a pound and selling the

same wool, in the same number

of pounds to the government at

$1.65 to $1.85 per pound. That

is an unadulterated, falsehood,

manufactured for the purpose of

discrediting my entire charge.

He knew better and the public

will know better when this whole

matter is exposed.



I charged only that this grease

wool bought of the farmer at say

sixty-five cents a pound in the

grease, was sold by the big deal-

ers to the government as‘scour-

ed wool at $1.65 per pound.

That this scoured wool had 'to

be estimated, and that there was

the camouflage, and through

which the wool grower and the

government were being fleeced.





That not a pound of the wool

was scoured when sold to the

government by these fellows. I

gave an illustration of a profit

of ten cents per pound and what

it would amount to. Again, about

the amount of wool in the coun-

try. This counsel for the wool

dealers—of Boston. tries to make

it ,appear that there was but a





few pounds of wool grownin Die ~





country in 1918. ..

The Department of Agricul

ture says in a bulletin just re-

: solved ,that it was upward of





_‘ .;





 





000,000 pounds _total. Every

pound of this domestic wool had

to go through these big wool

dealers’ hands by the plan they

prepared and to which their

henchman was a party. The ev-

idence is rapidly accumulating

and the investigation of this deal

will be .made.



They got together in Boston,

the executive committee of 6 this

Boston Wool Dealers’ Associa-

tion, and resolved that I should

make an apology, and used this

blanket prepared by Elliott as

their protection. The Guide

Board I gave them is not for’

public direction.



I am in receipt of a request

that the foreign importations of

wool be also. investigated, and

this request comes from Boston. . .

The manner in which this wool

business has been handled 'is

one that will ailerd interesting

reading in the months to come,

and may possibly be of some'

avail in the years ahead, in pro-

tecting our farmers against the

profiteering that has gone on in

the past by this same gang. This

year’s clip has been manipulat-

ed by them in such manner that

at least ten cents per pound has

been taken from the wool pro-

ducer and will be pocketed by

these proflteers.



If the collosal and staggering

frauds that have been put over

do not overwhelm our investi-

gators, there will be construc-

tive gains ahead in opening up

such deals. This gang of oper-

ators was in existence before

the war and is as much a men- 2

ace to the wool producer and the

consumer of woolons as the pack-

ers are to the food business of

the country.



I want to thank you for this

opportunity to give a hint of the

manner and scope of their open

ations. My charges were modest.

PLANS WORLD FOOD COUNCIL.





 





)OD conditions are becoming so

serious in Europe that plans are





being made to organize an Economic.





Food Council to battle the food short-

age peril and deal with profiteers in

food whoare seeking to gain control

of the world’s supply of food.



C. H. Roberts, England’s food con-

troller, has made preliminary plans

for a meeting to be held in Washington

within a few months. A survey of

world's food supplies will be made and

plans made for the economio‘control

and distribution of same. The council

will be composed of the allied govern-

ments, but ultimately Germany, Aus-

tria, Russia and others will be in-

cluded. ,



Among the factors leading to the

formation of the \council, says Roberts,

is the increasing anxiety in Europe

that American food combines, with

their vast stocks, will gain control of

the world market basket and then raise

the prices beyond the capacity of Eu-

popean workers, to pay. He hopes the

new council will curb activities of Am-

erican profiteers.



“There is no disguising the appre-

hension of the people regarding the

American beef trust,” Roberts contin-

ued. "We have a committee investi-

gating its activities and are clOsely

watching the'effect of operations of

the beef interests. If necessary, of

course, we can and will devise effec-

tive measures of control.



Meanwhile England is planning to

deal with her own profiteers. This

means a food ministry will continue

and possibly action by Parliament.



Roberts declared there is no possi-

ble chance of food rioting in England,

as Was suffered by France and Italy.

But as a precautionary measure the

government is appointing a commit-

tee to inquire into profiteering and de-

vise drastic methods. “I do not think,”

he concluded “that it will be necesaary

to establish municipal markets, but we

will continue the present municipal

kitchens throughout the winter."

in view of the almost universal ex-

4- ily, such a suggestiou seems absurd.

But in view of the actual cost of pro-

duction of Wheat, which in the end

must control its selling price, p0ssibly

the suggestion is not absurd.



Can wheat actually be raised profit-

ably at the present time for less than

, » the guaranteed price? Was $2.26 a

l , fair price when named, and if so, has

‘I ' ' V' ‘ not the cost of production increased

materially ‘since the fixing of that

price by congress? The only publicity

on. wheat in a periodical with general

distribution Worthy consideration that

has come under my observation

throughout the war period was printed

in the Saturday Evening Post of May

10 under the title, “A Wheat Primer

for City Folks," by E. Davenport. It

presents well authenticated data prov-

ing that the farmer, to receive going

wages for his labor, must have $2.47

‘ for his wheat. _



* ‘ , An .actual scarcity of labor, ”in the

end, must result in scarcity of labor's

products. Every indication points to-

wards a great scarcity of labor in the

near future, especially on the farms.

It would not appear that much time

would elapse before labor's products

would become so scarce that Ameri-

cans would have to choose what they

could most easily do without. When

that day comesfipossibly America will

be compelled to pay the labor that

‘ ’ ' as much. as she pays the labor'that

‘er maybe knows that the grain buyers

measure of suspicion. We both know

that ideal business transactions bene-

fit both parties. We can both profit

and be trustworthy friends.





‘ The administration of the new wheat’

grading rules promises many new

points of possible friction between

buyers and sellers. The rule relating

to dockage on wheat Will not strike

the Michigan farmer so severely as it

does the farmer of North Dakota, but

it will produce friction in new places

between the seller and buyer, unless

we both start determined to take time

for explanation and then enforce the

rules with great care. The seller

should know that the buyer must buy

wheat on-its merits and that the Grain

Corporation, within the range of the

practical, will hold grain dealers to

moisture and dockage tests as rigidly

as to weight and color tests.



The dealer in buying wheat from the

producer shall purchase on the proper

grade and dockage under the federal

standards. The farmer knows that the

miller cannot make flour from weed

seeds nor can‘ he make thirteen per

cent moisture from fifteen per cent

moisture wheat without loss, and when

he understands just how each decision

is arrived at and what the rules are,

we trust thathe will not expect wheat

price for wild mustard, cockle,’ or sur-

plus water. First cut of new wheat in

St. Louis came from Arkansas. It

graded sample, tested only fifty-five

pounds and" had 16.2 per cent moisture

and the 'wheat in some parts of the

car was hot.



The grading of wheat, and especially

the administration of the rule relating

to dockage made possible :the political

revolution in North Dakota with all

the suspicion and hatred that now

hangs over that unhappy common-

wealth. How misleading the figures

used, to inflame Dakota farmers such

as the relative quantities of No. 1

wheat received and shipped may be. ,





If a wheat buyer cheats, especially





,if he is a miller, he wrongs competing





millers quite as much as he does the

farmer from whom he buys grain. We

all know of other points of contact

that produce friction, but I shall take

time to touch upon one more only, and

thatprobably the most universal cause

for complaint among Wheat sellers.

Over and over we hear that the farmer

must ‘always sell and always buy at

the “other fellow’s” price. This sounds

like a statement of fact and very un-

just, but if we analyze these transac-

tions, we will find that the‘statement

is misleading.





As a matter of fact, if we are to un-

derstand just what, takes place, we

must substitute in this statement for

the Word “Farmers,” the words, “The

Party Who Chooses His Time to Buy

and "Sell,” and for the “Other Fellow,”

we must substitute the words, “The

Party Who Stands Ready to Buy or

Sell at Any Time”, This .done, the

statement will now read, “The party

who chooses his own time to buy or

sell must buy and sell at the price





_ offered by the party who stands ready





to buy or sell at any time!” The rule

works justice in all cases excepting

where monopoly controls a market or





where necessity deprives the one who " "

. only in point of yield but. in the prices

paid for the crop at and following

the harvest period. Sections outside

the bean bolt taking hold of the crop

have made better yields than the 01d-

er sections, ,probably because of im-

munity from diseases with‘which the

crop is affected.



The principal reasons for holding

back on the crop this year are poor

prices of recent years, largely brought

about by competition with western

and Japanese beans, and plant dis-

eases bringing failures at harvest

time. Up to the middle of June over

1,200 cars of dry beans had been im-

ported from Japan since last Septem-

ber. This total, added to nearly 4,000

cars from California, gives some idea

of the competition New York and

Michigan, the two leading bean grow-

ing states of the east, have to meet.





Unfavorable weather at critical

times and plant diseases have done

much to dissuade the growers from

pushing the crop. The state has for a

number of years conducted a bean

laboratory at this place for the study

of pests and bean diseases, but des-

pite all efforts disease has probably

made more inroads on this than on

any other crop in the state. Having

this experience in mind the growers

LAPEER COUNTY HOLSTEIN

BREEDERS.





 





HE Lapeer County Holstein Breed-



ers have organized an, association

with thirty-nine charter members. At

the recent meeting held at Lapeer the

following officers were elected:





Dewey C. Pierson, Hadley township,

president; C. F. Smith, Lapeer, secre~

tary; Fred A. Farley, Almont, treasur-

er; Lloyd Lake, North Branch, and T.

C. Rossman, Metamora, members of

the executive committee.





As. stated in the constitution of the

association, its objects are to promote

the breeding of pure-bred Holstein—

Friesian cattle by bringing their good

qualities to thepublic; by discussing

the best method of breeding, raising,

improving and exhibiting this breed of

animals, and by otherwise advancing

the interests of the breed as opportu-

nity may offer for united action. The

association is planning on making an

exhibit at the fairs this fall and assist-

ing its members in securing high-class

breeding stock and selling any surplus

stock that they may have on handpat

vertising.

designed to educate the public to a

wider use of his products. Although

they both thrive best on low-priced

do his uttermost to protect his own in-

fits-all; New. ,'York counties, ’ of which

Wayne was the center, produced near-

'ly‘all of the peppermint oil that reach-





ed the world’s markets. In this distric

hundreds of acres were devoted to the

industry. Nearly every farmer in some

communities had a. patch of pepper-

mint, usually on low, pearly drained

land. ',Peppermint stills flourished in

the hamlets and villages.



It was the farmer boy’s work to drop

mint roots. The ground was carefully

plowed and narrowed, after which it





.was furrowed with a horse hoe. The





roots were dropped into the furrows

and then covered. The planting was

done early in the spring. The after

cultivation was similar to that given

corn, with frequent use of the hoe to

complete the work of subduing weeds.



Harvesting began in August. The

mint was cut with a. scythe, allowed

to wilt slightly and hauled to the dis-

tillery.



1n the pioneer days of the industry,

the oil brought from $2.00 to $2.50 a

pound. The first year’s crop was the

best, yielding up to thirty pounds to

the acre. The second year fifteen

pounds to the acre was a fair yield,

while the third year gave a still small-

er yield. We turned under an old field

each year, following the present prac-

tice of strawberry growers.



At the height of the peppermint oil

industry in central New York the price

advanced to $4.00 a pound. Hundreds

of farmers enlarged their plantings





and many others rushed into the mint





business.



About this time Michigan farmers

began to raise peppermint. Prices

slumped with heavily increasing pro-

duction. Central New York farmers

stopped selling mint, the industry de-

clined rapidly. and Michigan became

the leading mint producing state.



This spring peppermint oil has

brought fabulous prices, being quoted

as high as $12 a pound, and the de-

mand is much larger than the supply.

This is causing former central New

York growers to take a new interest in

mint culture. They are investigating

the possible root supply, and it is pre-

dicted that a large acreage will be

planted in peppermint next spring. If

the roots could be obtained in sufli-

cient quantities it is probable that the

larger planting and increased supply

would soon bring down the» price to

the old-time levels.—E. E. R.

You have gone to a lot of time, trouble and expense

with your corncrop. You have plowed and framed

well, selected good seed and cultivated thoroughly. ’



Now you are face to face with the problem of con-

verting part of your corn crop into the best kind of silage.





Be careful what you put into your silo.





Don’t fill it





with corn that has been chewed and beaten into small ragged pieces

--corn which has lost mostof its juice and which will be sure to dry

out at the top of your silo and get soggy at the bottom.





Clean-Cut Silage





Cut your silage corn so that

every piece is sharply nipped-mat

it slick and clean! Good; sharp

cutting does not bruise the corn,

but keeps all juices intact and

assures you of a silo full of perfect

feed-good from roof to bottom.





ROSS Ensilage Cutters





ROSS Cutter Knives work

with a shear motion. They hug

the cutting bar and stay close from





the first turn of the Wheel till the} ~





last pound of good, nutritious

feed is packed into your silo.

ROSS knives can’t be forced





away from the cutting bar--they

run against ball-bearings which

hold tight and can be adjusted

even while the machine is run-

ning. A ROSS slices the corn so

that each small piece keeps all

of its natural juice.

: CAUSES OF WEAK CHlCKS.

Can you. tell .mé what to do for





chicks thateput/their heads down and

in a. day. or‘ two “are dead? P ’E G





Calhoun Co. . _



White 'dlar’rhea,’ cholera’or some oth-

er digestive trouble might cause the

chicks to {become weak, and emaciated

and 30011 die. A weakness of the breed-

ing stock might result in chicks being

hatched that were lacking in vigor

and in spite of the best of care such

chicks might dierin a, few days. A





, lack of sanitary methods in caring for





the chicks helps to bring on digestive

troubles which cause- severe losses.

From the above description it is diffia

cult to determine the trouble. How-

ever, it will pay to cull out all the

weak chicks and feed the others sour

milk, a good grade of chick feed and

plenty of green food. The green food

will be gathered by the birds if they

are brooded on a. clover range.





Chicks in a brooder might droop and

die because of chilling or overheating.

If the brooder is overcrowded some of

the weaker chicks will be trampled

and so reduced in vitality that they

will soon droop and die. Possibly

many chicks are overfed and this re-

sults in some Of the feed remaining

with the dirt on the floor of the brood-

er house and on the ground outside of

brood coops. This feed sours and then

some of it may be eaten by the chicks

causing the weaker ones to die and

possibly the stronger chicks to become

weak. It pays to keep the chicks hun-

gry and this means frequently feeding

them and only giving a small quantity

of feed at each time. Feeding bran

and charcoal to small chicks helps to

keep the digestive system in order.

adds'vegetable matter and nitrogen to

growth of vetch can be'increased very

materially by the luSe of a fertilizer

containing phosphOric acid and potash.

This kind of soil is usually defica'ent in

these elements and when supplied, the

vetch in many instances 'makes a.

splendid growth.





Of course, the vetch can be harvest:

ed for hay instead of plowing it under

but you won’t improve the land as rap~

idly. This plant has a weak, reclining

stem and it is best to sow it with rye

which will help hold it up so that it

can be harvested if it is desired to do

so. If the rye is worked into the soil

with the vetch this, of course, increas-

es the vegetable matter in the soil, al-

though the rye does not add plant food

to the soil. ‘

POWDER-POST INSECTS.





There is some insect or worm bor-

ing holes in the timbers, and little

bunches of yellow powder fall to the

cellar floor. What can we do to stop it?



St. Joseph Co. , Mrs. G. W.





The insects that are boring holes in

the timbers of your house are known

as powder-post insects. They get their

name from the powdery appearance of

the wood which they attack. The sap

wood of trees and hardwood material

of all kinds, both finished and unfin-

ished, especially of hickory, ash, and

oak, is often ruined by yellowish-white

grubs from one-eighth to one-fifth of

an inch in length, which burrow

through the solid wood in all direc-

tions and convert it into powder.

These grubs are the young, or larvae,

of small, slender, somewhat flattened,

reddish~brown beetles known as pow-

der-post beetles. Wood that has been

seasoned a year or longer is especially

liable to this peculiar type of insect

injury. During the first year of infest-

ation the powder comes from very

minute holes in the wood, but after

the second year, the small holes from

which the beetles have emerged are

more or less conspicuous, and from

these the powder will fall when the

infested material is moved or jarred“

These insects have donemuch‘damage .

to army and nayyjstores of handles,-

tent poles, wheelbarrows, oars,

many other hardwood articles. They

have also 'been known to attack beams,

joists, roof framing, etc., as well as

lumber used 'for tables, chairs, refrig-

erators etc.





The. best way to control these in-

sects is the liberal applicationof pure

kerosene oil with a brush. The only

objection to kerosene is the fire risk

but it soon evaporates’so that the ma-

terial is not long near the danger

point. A. mixture of three parts kero~

sene oil and one part creosote is also

a good material to apply to the infest.

ed wood. The beams should be treat-

ed between October and the first of

March it the best:- resulls eterto be

had. ‘ E '

NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW.





 

 





RINGING post-war message on

dairying and an appeal to the

dairy interests of the country to rally

to the call for greatly increased quan-

tities of dairy products will be deliv-

- ered by the United States government

in Chicago in October.



More than that, an international in-

formation bureau on the dairy indus-

try of the world will be established,

under government supervision, in Chi-

cago at that time, and this fact has

been formally announced by the De-

partment of State to all foreign gov-

ernments. The State Department has

asked these governments to send del-

egations or commissions to Chicago at

that time for the exchange of informa-

tion and ideas ‘on the dairy industry.

' These things are of the utmost import-

ance to the industry in the United

States.



The world is more or less in need

of dairy cattle and dairy products. The

awful infant mortality which followed

the loss of dairy cattle in certain war

countries brought home, perhaps as

nothing else could have done, the

truth about milk and its products and



.the supreme impdrtance of keeping up



and increasing the products." The

United States government recognizes

this; so do other governments.





That is why the National Dairy

Show this year is to be made the rally-

ing place of the dairy industry of this

and foreign countries. The establish-

ment of the international information

bureau on the world’s dairy industry

and the expected presence of delega-

tions and commissions from other

countries are but a part of the impres-

sive program that government oflidials

have mapped out. The exhibit of the

United States government will be com-

prehensive and instructive.



The lives of the children of the

world are at stake; the children must

have milk. The federal government

knows this to be true and so the mes-

sale that goes from the government

tO'the dairy people is really a rallying

call and is just as important as any

call sent out by the government dur-

ing the war. The great government

exhibits alone should be enough to

make all dairy people determine to be

in Chicago in Octobervfor“ this show.





Another new feature of this year’s

show will be the introduction of cham-

pionship classes for boy and girl cat-

tle judging. The states that are now

conducting boy and girl judging con-

tests will hold such contests at all

county and district fairs and will send

along their winners to their state fairs.

The championsotthe State Fair Dairy

Cattle contests will then be sent to

the National Dairy Show in Chicago in

October. An appropriation of $500 has

been made for this event.

\A New Car—A New Price—4 Greater Value

The Hudson Super-Six $1 975





Four Years Experience and 60, 000 in Service

Result 11: a Super-Six Which Men Say Has No Rival





No other fine car is so well regarded by so





Owners of earlier Hudson Super-Sixes—

there are 60,000—are the most appreciative

appraisers of the new model.



They know the reliability of Hudson endur-

ance and have long said it Was potentially the

greatest car built. ' The improvements their

experience has suggested have been made.

Annoyances that have been regarded as in.



evitable to all cars have been eliminated.



With practically every dealer, his first sales

of the new Hudson Super-Six were made to

those who have owned Hudson: for years. '





They Saw Qualities You Will Want





This is the tenth year of Hudson leadership.

The Super-Six is four years old. When it came

the trend was toward motors of many cylin-

ders. But its freedom from vibration, ob-

tained by a patented motor which added 72%

to power without increase of size or weight was

what had been sought for. Smoothncss meant

easier riding and greater endurance. -



The Super-Six established its leadership in

these qualities in every avenue open to such

proof. It became the most famous speed car.



But the Super-Six was not designed as a race

car. It merely established its speed qualities

in the development of its value as a reliable

enduring car such as you want.



Those ‘qualities were established with the

first Super-Six. Subsequent models revealed

the refinements that come only from experi-

ence. Each year saw an advancement over

previous models. This new model attains the

ideal for which we have sought.

many people. There is a Hudson Super-Six

for each six miles of improved roadway in

America.

and chauffeur-driven cars on Fifth' AVenuc

than of any other make. It is the choice car

ofthc business man, the farmer, the rancher,

the mountaineer and the tourist. With

changes that can be made in any Super-Six, it

is the car upon which race drivers rely to win

prizes in SOD—mile speedway events orin the

most famous road races.





How It Was Improved



The new Super-Six starts easier, rides easier

and runs smoother. All its excellent qualities

you know arc retained—m many instances,

enhanced.



Owners ofcarlicr Hudsons see its finer values

as you detect the matured nature of a friend

in whom you have long admired qualities of

sturdiness and reliability.





Prompt Delivery for Early Buyers

Each season has seen a Hudson shortage.





Reports from dealers indicate sales are in- .





creasing faster than production. Buyers have

waited months to get the car of their choice.

You will do well to decide now. ~



The new Super-Six sells at $1975, f. o. b.

less wanted cars and then think how much

The NEW IDEA One-Man

Straw Spreading Attachment ~





At present prices your straw stack has a known fertilizing value of

$8 a ton. In addition, it is the best builder of humus you can put on your

soil—it prevents soil washing and blowing—and as a. check to the winter





killing of wheat it is almost invaluable.





Get Two Machines in One





The NEW IDEA. Straw Spreading Attachment almost doubles your

spreading profits. It gives you two machines that can be changed from

one to the other in a few minutes’ time by one man. ,





Few Parts





The Straw Spreading Attachment consists of two framed sides which

rest on the sides of the regular spreader-4n upper, or third cylinder with

a chain to connect it with the upper cylinder of the manure 3 reader—-

and plates to hold the cylinder frame in place. Bearings are sel -aligning.

A metal shield arlolund the ends of the topmost cylinder prevents straw

from catching in s aft. '





You Need This Machine





If you already have a NEW IDEA, get the Stream

Spreader Attachment and put it on yourself in

15 minutes—the cost is small and the re-

turns will be big. And if you

haven’t a manure spreader, get

tion for spreading both

straw and manure.

HEN Buck Roberts returned



from overseas and resumed his



duties on the old farm a short

time ago, he gave his kind-hearted old

father a bit of a jolt one day, when he

said:



“Dad, what in the name of Sam Hill

have you been doing to that harness?

You got it less than two years ago and

now it looks almost ready for the

scrap heap. Next time you’re in town

get a- couple cans of saddle-soak, a

sponge and some neats- foot oil and I’ll

show you the way we kept horse

equipment in the army.



“And for the love 0’ Mike who shod

that horse? Wait ’till the lute sees—"

“Why, what’s the matter with that?”

broke in the surprised father, “The

shoe fits and it looks like a durn good

job.”



“Yes, it looks neat,” was the re-

joinder, “But the bird who tacked that

shoe on ought to get the stone-pile for

a year. Can't you see he’s out the

hoof to fit the shoe instead of shaping

the shoe to fit the hoof? And look at

the way he’s out those bars; that nag

will go lame in two days. Wait ’till I

see that blacksmith guy.”



Thus it was that Farmer, Roberts

began to. find out what the army did”

for his boy, and thus it is that'farmers

all over the country are coming to

realize the same thing with. the boys

in their own localities. ,

son for this is the fact that the rigid

discipline, splendid setting-up exercis-

es and the rugged out-of-door work to

which every recruit was subjected, so

built up the millions of men of the

new army and navy, that thousands of

lives were saved—~thousands of lives

of . young men, who because of their

sedentary occupations and lack of out-

of-door work had become so emaciated

and run-down that they would never

have survived the terrible ravages'of

the epidemic of influenza which swept;

over the world a. few months ago.



This is true, more so of the city man

than of the boys from the country. It

is the one big benefit resulting from

the war to the metropolitan districts

of this country, and the men who re-

turn from the service will resume their

work with new life and a renewed vig-

or, which will multiply their personal

efficiency and make, them more valu-

able as citizens. ,,



The men from the farms and outlyt

ing .dstricts, however, were as a whole,





tarabove the city man in physical





condition and the results of the sys-

tematic training were not so marked

in .their cases, although it tended to

make them more alert and active. To





these men, however, came the great





benefit of the splendid courses of train-

the farm. In the horse-draWn outfits

practically every recruit was taught

the methods of handling horses. He

was instructed first in the nemencla-

ture of the horse, until he could name

and refer correctly to the various

parts of 'the horse anatomy. ~ Next he

was taught the most systematic, and

hence the quickest, method of groom-

ing and also the simple tests of wheth-

er or not the horse is well groomed.

Following this a course was given on

horsecshoeing, and although it was not

he learned the correct Way to shoe 9.

ed and the results to be had from im-

proper fitting and adjusting of shoes.



How to judge horses for speed,

strength and endurance, was one or

the important things which the artil-

lerymen learned. He was taught how

to size up the various animals and to

.pass judgment as to their quallilca-

tions for the special work for which

they Were needed. Feeding is another

thing. which was taught to the recruits.

. the different feeds, to be given to the





horses of various sizes and weights, .





during the diflerent seasons and in

accordance with the amount of work

which the animals were doing.' It is

the system Which hasL been worked out

‘ after years of experience and observa-

tiOn by the remount specialists and

veterinarians of the army, and is

bound to 'be a great boon to the farm

ere, both in economy of feed, and. in

keeping the" horses fit and well.



Care of the horse 'in accident and

disease, is a. course which is particu-

larly, valuable to the farmer boy, and

one which was given a. great amount

of, attention in the horse-drawn artil-

lery regiments and in the cavalry.

Knowing the primer thing to do at the

proper time, in case of accident or

sickness to a horse, will often save a

valuable animal to years of further

usefulness and this was the aim of

this particular course of study. To-

gether with this the lessons given in

scientifically cleaning and 'caring for

harness will go a long way towards re-

ducing the expense in this part of the

farm equipment.





The course which was perhaps the

most enjoyed'by the young men from

the country, and which was equally

abhorred (at first) by the city bred re-

cruits, was eq‘uitation' or horseman-

ship. Starting off in the'most difficult

way, the soldier was taught first to





ride bare-back, then with the blanket,





and sur-cingle andv laterwith the army

saddle.

the man his sense of balance first, and

the knack of gripping his mount with

his thighs, rather than depending up-

on his stirrups, before he took 'to the

saddle. After this was accomplished

and the proper aids were taught and

practiced, the recruit was instructed

how to put his mount through all the

paces and movements. A great many

men came to the camps who had rode

and handled horses for years in their

own natural way. These had to be

“unlearned,” many things which were

against the canons of military equita-

tion and taught again correctly, but

in a great majority of the cases these

men, after becoming accustomed to

the army way’, agreed that the latter

was the most logical and made for the

better training and preservation of the

horse.





In the motor-drawn artillery regi-

ments certain men were given inten-

sive and highly specialized courses in

motors. The tractors used are not un-

like those used .on the great farms of

the west, and the soldiers were given

the opportunity to learn, not only how

to run and take care of tractors and

wheeled material, but also to observe

the possibilities of these machines for

domestic use. w""‘\



The trained infantryman was per-

haps the military “Jack of All Trades.”

His courses included irrigation, sanita-



tion, trench digging, and building of





revettments and shelters, all- exclusive'





of drill and the use of» the rifle and

bayonet. The Jackies of‘bur navy and

the marines, besides learning much of

the same things that the doughboys

were taught, also came to understand





the secrets of weather prediction and »





the tying of many kinds of useful

knots for various purposes, all of

which will be of practical help to these

boys when they return to the farms.





Considered'as a whole, the nation at -





large, and the farmers. in particular,

will‘ benefit largely from the great war

in a way which will make for greater

‘ efficiency of the worker, better econ-

omy, and a, greater output and produc-

tion from." the soil, because of the

B ETTY’S RETU RN.





.1 3 BY FANNIE n. PERRY.





ARY ANN and Dean were two

, 3 very happy children. When one

2 , day they overheard mother say, ‘fWe

- will have to get rid of the old cat ‘Bet-

' ~ ’ Her days of usefulness were about

‘ .‘.over; she was stiff. homely, and al-

. ~ 9 'ways underfoot.” 4



- ‘ 3 " ' f The, aged house pet was placed in a

.. bag, tied securely and put in the wag-

, on as father was instructed to “take

her so far away that she could never



get back.”



It was just before Christmas and the

farmer was on his way to the nearest

county seat with a load of pork. When



. fifteen miles away from home he un-

' ' tied the string and “let the cat out of

the bag,” thinking that would be the

- .114 - last of Betty.



. p , ‘ Well, What do you think? Scarcely

2 ' . 2}- four weeks had passed when, in the

middle of a cold, blustering night, the

thermometer dOWn to zero, snow two

feet deep on the ground, there was a.

scratching on the back door and mew-

mg.

the familiar sound of old Betty. Out

of bed jumped Dean and down to the

kicthen door as fast as his little legs

_ .; could carry him, crying “Come, moth-



’ {I 3 - . , er, open the door quick.)u

" Sure enough, Betty had come back,

and walked in as unconcernedly as

though she hadn’t been away an hour,

rubbed up against the children as if

to say, “Here I am’ again.” Poor old

Betty was so thin, and to think she‘

_ had come all that distance in the deep

* mow. ,_ No time was lost in placing a

nice dish of warm ‘milk before her,

the children clapping their hands and

saying, “Betty did come back, as Mary



Ann said she would.”



When Betty had finished her milk,

she leisurely walked around to her old

spot back of the stove and lay down,

purring contentedly.



Which goes to show a cat has the

sense of; direction which is not pos-

sessed by human beings.

S deal of the sympathy we extend to

overworked women isn’t wasted. I

do not mean that there are no women

who are really forced to do work be-

yond their strength. For those I have

the truest sympathy. But the women

who groan the loudest, it seems to. me,

are women who could make their work

fifty per cent easier if they so desired.

I often think they go out of their way

to do unnecessary things so that they

can tell about it and beg for sympathy.

They’ seem to enjoy the martyr role

so hugely, I'm almost positive they de-

liberately overwork. ‘



I have in mind one farm woman

who for twenty-five years has carried

the water a distance of forty rods.

More than that, she has pumped it up

with an old wooden pump, hasn’t even

had a. windmill. Of course the water

had to be pumped for the stbck in the

same way, but I’m not just now con-

cerned with the man’s part of‘ the

story. Times have been none too pros-

perous for this couple, until the war.

Then war prices on their specialty

went away up and the checks they re-

ceived were beyond even their wildest

fancy.



At once the husband wanted to buy

a. gas engine and install water in the

house. He saw a let-up on that twice

daily pumping of water for the stock,

and his wife freed from the extra work

of carrying water. But friend wife

wanted a parlor! To be sure, she was

moaning all the time about how hard

she worked keeping up the rooms she

already had. But the neighbor across

the road had a parlor and living room,

both, while our heroine had only the

living-room. Husband dwelt on the

delights of getting water just by turn-

ing a faucet. Wife held fast to the mo-

tion of having a parlor to usher the

preacher into when he called. Hus-

band sang the praises of modern

plumbing and held forth on the merits

of a whole bathtub of water to splash

in, as against a half pint in a basin on

Saturday night. Wife arose to heights

of eloquence on the necessity of hav-

ing an extra room for the baby grand

piano she was hoping to buy next year.

Husband pointed out that she hadn’t

anything to put in the parlm unless

she took everything out of the living-

room. Wife explained patiently that

she meant to have new stufl. Husband

roared that furniture and rugs were

double their real value and lumber

and labor -ditto. Wife clung like a

barnacle to the 'main issue, the abso-

lute necessity of having a parlor.





They have the parlor. Husband con-

tinues to pump water for the stock,

but from the day when he gave the

carpenters the order to start building

he has never carried a pail of water

into the house. When the wife asks

him if he can’t help her that little bit

and complains of how tired she is, he

politely suggests that she go into the

parlor, lie down on the davenport she

is going to get next year and take a‘

nice rest. 1 \





case, butit is by no means a lone ll.

things women do are entirely unneces-

sary. There’s the idea of littering man?

IS Your Hard WorkNeceSSai‘Y'?





OMETIMES I wonder if ‘a great phere of the room, rather, it detracts





from it. One vase, a bit of pottery, a





growing plant or a bowl of flowers,





give the touch we crave. But an ac—





‘cumuiation of worthless trinkets make





the place a nightmare and add an hour

to the dusting time.



One —woman woke up to the absurd-

ity of over-doing by the action of her

twelve-year-old boy. It was a home

where two maids had been employed

always until the war. Then it became

impossible to keep more than one, and

finally that one departed. The mother

delegated to the children the task of

keeping their own rooms tidy.



This particular boy had a large col-

lection-of photos of friends and spots





he had visited stuck all over dresser.





and desk and bookcase.

“Do these things have to be dust-

ed ?” he inquired.





“Certainly,” said his mother. "Nelly





dusted 'them every morning, and you 1n





will have to do it, too. The dust set-

tles on them as much as it does on

furniture, and it has to be taken off.”



That morning the pictures disappear-

ed from the dresser. The neXt day

those from the desk were put into a

drawer. On the third day, two remain-

ed, father’s and mother’s photos on

the bookcase. But on the fourth day

even these went into retirement.



“I see you folks anyway, and it

seems kind of silly to keep your pic-





tures sticking around,” he explained '





cheerfully.

dusting.”

The mother immediately took stock

of her own rooms. To be sure, good

taste had kept her from overloading

them, but there were still a good many

things which could be removed and

never‘missed. All the furniture with

carving was relegated to the attic or

sold at good prices. ‘Furniture with

few lines and no tufted upholstery re-

placed the old sort, which meant so

many hours a day in keeping clean.

The dining-room, too, went through

cloth and put one lacy centerpiece. So

she compromised .by leaving- on the

tablecloth, and placing a small daily

and fern dish on this. Everything came

off the plate rail and went into the

china cabinet, and finally a carpenter

called to remove the plate rail.

Needless to say, unnecessary cook-

ing folIOWed unnecessary dusting.

Food experts told her that the family

needed certain food elements, fresh

fruit or vegetables, cereals, meat,

eggs, milk, fish or other proteins, sug-

ar fats and mineral matter. The fam-

ily thought it’had to have fancy sal-

ads, clear soups, pies, French pastry,

chops and steaks. She decided that

plain bread and butter, potatoes, veg-

etables in season plenty of milk and

eggs, a roast that needed little watch-

g, fruit, minus pie crust, and an eas-

ily prepared sweet would keep the fam-

ily in shape and be much less work

for her. So the change went through.

This woman, who never before did

her own work, has gotten through for

six months “with only the help given

her by her children, and so far has not

complained of overwork. She esti-

mates that the unnecessary things she

hired maids to do have cost her in

the neighborhood of one thousand

dollars a year for fifteen years.

“That $15, 000 dollars rightly placed

would inSure my future and educate

my children if I should be left penni-

less tomorrow,” she says. “Believe

me, I shall spend no more money in

future for things I'm better off with-

out. DEBORAH.

'- N the opanmg address made at the

twenty'fiixth annual convention of

the National Hay Association at De-



troit, July 16. F. M. Williams, of New



York, made it plain that the four hun-



dred' members of his association who



had home to the city of Detroit, had

no fear of automobiles replacing

the horse when they decided to come





6 to the city Where eighty-fiye per cent





of the automobiles of the country are

manufactured. ..



“You people in Detroit,” said M1.

Williams, “have now turned your at-

tention to the farm and are endeavor-

ing- to substitute the tractor for the

farm horse. We hay men, however,

believe that the automobile and truck

have about reached the height of their

-eiliciency and from now on whatever

changes them may be in method of

automobiles .vs. horse transportation,

-we are inclined to"believe it is very

likely to result in favor of the horse.



“Had it not been for the advent of

the automobile, the wonderful pro-





gress and advancement of this age





would never have been attained. Were

we still dependent upon the horse as

our sole motive power, the production





of horses in this country would have





had to been increased at least two

hundred per cent. Likewise, to keep





'pace with this tremendous increase in





horses would have been the increase





of forage requirements to the ultimate

result \that millions of acres of land





which have been devoted to the pro-

ductionof food for ourselves would





'have had to produce hay.





As‘it is, the increased consumption

of hay in this country and the tremen-

dous demands of Europe have brought

the price to the highest point in the

history of the hay trade. It is, there-

fore, with a. sense of gratitude that we,

as broad-minded Americans, turn to

the automobile industry of this country

and particularly to the city of Detroit,

for the great good wrought."



At the Thursday afternoon session.





.1}. I. Christie, of the Department of Ag-





riculture, Washington, pointed out that

American agricultural problems could

not be met alone. They are linked





-with those of Europe, and because of





conditions abroad it is going to be a

long time before American farmers

can be freed of the necessity of feed-





‘ing ‘a large part of the population of





other Countries.



“It was expected,” said Mr. Chris-

tie, “that with the Coming of the arm-

istice and peace there Would be an im-

mediate return to the farms of the Eu-

ropean men who had been withdrawn

from them,‘and, as a. consequence, a

quick return to the conditions by

which Europe was able to feed itself

without much, if any, assistance from

our farmers.



But this has not been the case. Be-

cause at the chaotic condition of agri-

culture, the» instability of govern-

ments, and' so forth, the demobilized

men, instead of returning to the land,

have flocked to the big cities. Buda-

pest, with'a population before the war

of 800,000, new numbers 2,000,000 peo-

ple. More than 1,000,000 has been ad-

ded to the population of the compara-

tively small city of Vienna since the

signing of the armistics. Furthermore,





6, much of the rich land of the European





countries has not been planted and





‘will not be cropped this year because





of the unwillingness of the owners to

take chances with the political unrest

among the masses. ,



“It is equally true that there is on

feet among our farmers. Everywhere





V the man on the land is organizing into





ups to niake sure that he obtains





 





‘, 5e: at 13...... July 1618





receive and no more. He will not take

that answer. Everywhere, he is begin.

ning to ask why, and silver-tongued

agitators find it easy to go among the

farming class and work up dissatisfac-





tion and discontent by accusing the ,





grain dealer, the hay dealer, the bank-

er and the grocer of fattening 011’ of

the work of the man of the soil.



“On the other hand, there has been

too much talk throughout the country

of the farmer getting rich, of the farm-

er getting an undue share of the ad-

vance in prices all along the line.

There has been too much talk of the

benefits of the government guarantees

on wheat and pork all going to the

farmer. .



“You hay men who are close to the

actual situation know that that kind

of talk is untrue and unjust. I tell

you that the farmer would have made

much more money had the government

never guaranteed the prices of these

things. ,



“When we guaranteed a price of

$226 for wheat it was selling at $3.50

in the open market. And when'hogs

were guaranteed at $16.50 labor dele-

gates came to Washington, saw the

President and the Department of Agri-

culture and everybody else who had

anything to do with the matter, saying

that the farmer was being enriched at

the expense of the workingman. They





declared that if the guarantee were'





lifted the price of pork would immedi-

ately drop.



“Well, these men were listened to

and the guarantee was removed. What

happened? Under the ordinary law of

supply and demand the price of hogs

began jumping immediately until now

they are selling at $23!”



Mr. Christie warned also against

speculation in farm lands and said

that to such an extent had this prac-

tice been indulged in that he knew of

one farm changing hands six times in

one week.



At the Thursday evening meeting E.

C. Eikenberry, of Ohio, made an ad-

dress urging greater business efficien-

cy on the part of the nation. ,



“America occupies a position unique

in economic history,” Mr. Eikenberry-

asserted, “that of a {nation controlling

both the finances of the world and its

supply of raw materials. This fact im-

poses a singular responsibility, and the

immediate future willwitness a devel-

opment of international trade rela'e

tions in which she will occupy a po-

sition of supremacy.”



Mr. Eikenberry is convinced that

business is adjusting itself properly

to post-war conditions.



“The convictionis steadily deepen-

ing that the present level of prices is

based on economic conditions and is

to continue for an extended period,”

he concluded, “with the result that the





hesitancy toward promoting produc-7





tion and investing in normal commod-

ity reserves is being reduced, while

building operations’ are showing a

steady increase. ’



At the Friday morning meeting reso-

lutions were passed requesting the





United States Department of Agricul- ‘





ture to prevent the activity of county

agents in interfering with the legiti-

mate business of the diflerent counties

in which ‘they are working. One of the

speakers described the county agents

as destroyers of. economical and effi-

cient distribution. F. L. Young was

elected president and J. Vining Taylor

secretary, ,of the National Hay Asso-

elation for the coming year.





The collie is the best known of all

sheep dogs. There is a great diner-

ence between the working-dog and the





show collie which has been bred so ;

but little service in the exacting duties “

SECOND EDITION.





 





The markets in this edition were re-

.vised and corrected (in Thursday af-

ternoon, July 24. '





WHEAT.





The wheat crOp of the United States

will be a great disappointment from

early expectations. Blight, rust and

other afflictions have reduced the yield

and indications are that it will not be

over 1,100,000,000 bushels, and possi-

bly not that large. The latest govern-

ment report was 1,100,000,000 bushels

while in June it was 1,236,000,000 bush-

els. Wheat is running good in Michi-

gan, especially Red Rock. Threshing

gangs are having the busiest season in

their history. Receipts Wednesday in

this market were three cars. Stocks

as compared with earlier estimates

are 32,000 bushels, as against 24,000

bushels a year ago. No. 2 red Wheat

brought $2.24 on this market a year





 





ago. Present prices are:

No. 1 red ......... . . . . .$2.261/2

No. 1 mixed . . . 2.241/2

No. 1 white 2.241/2

CORN.





In the Detroit market the corn deal

is up two cents. The crop outlook was

the leading cause for strength. There

were some showers this week over

parts of the corn belt but not enough

to bring general benefit and the out-

look is far from promising. Strength

was added to the corn market from

the higher hog prices that followed

the settling of the strike at the Chi-

cago stock yards. Corn is coming to

this market slowly. The price a year





ago. for No. 3 corn was $1.60. Today's



prices are:



, No. 3 corn ............. $2.00

No. 3 yieiiow ..... .. ..... 2.04

No. 4 yellow ............ 2.02

No. 5 yellow ............ 1.99

No. 3 white ............ 2.07





OATS.





The oat crop is coming in for rather

discouraging reports. In Michigan the

early sown oats have withstood the

drouth quite well in some cases but in

general the crop has suffered very se-

verely. It will be light and the straw

will be very short. The local oat mar-

ket is firm, the buying being for local

consumption. The price one year ago





was 78c for‘standard oats. Present

prices are:

No. 2 white ............... 84%

No.3 white ..’............84

No. 4 white ........ ......83





RYE.





The harvesting of this crop is in pro-

gress and an excellent crap is report—

ed. Rye is somewhat neglected in the

markets, cash No. 2 now being quoted





at $1.58.

BEANS.





Beans are steady and the trade gen-

erally is rather quiet, although an ad-

vance is noted on the Detroit market,

the price now quoted being $7.65 per

cwt. A firmer feeling exists in Chi-

cago, where pea beans, hand-picked,

choice to fancy, are quoted at $7.50@

8; red’ kidneys $11@11.50. Michigan

pea beans of good quality bring $7.75

@8 in New York. The Michigan bean

crop is developing fairly well under

the existing dry weather.





HAY.





In discussing the outlook for the

.1919 hay crop with delegates at the

meeting of the National Hay Associa-

tion, July 16-18, considerable variance

was noted in the reports from the var-



" ious sections of the country regarding

the new crop. Scattered opinions were

- as follows: Michigan, about normal,

with slight decrease in quality. South

central Michigan was. expected to

have almost double last year’s produc-

tion, but still short of an average. The

central part of the state claims a good

sized crop and good quality. North-

western Ohio has indications of about

,‘the same size and quality as last year,

although the state as a whole may

prove to have a light output. \

The Mohawk valley in New York

has promise of a bumper crop, prob-

‘, ably a third larger than last year, and

,of good quality. The same claims

were made for New York state as a

. , whole. Iowa was pronounced to have

3a hettercrop than last year; Minne-





 





‘sota, a very good crop; Illinois, a





 





slight increase over last year; Wiscon-

sin, up to normal. _



Detroit quotations as follows: No. 1

timothy $32.50@33; standard timothy

$31.50@32; No. 2 timothy $30.50@31;

No. 3 timothy $24@25: No. .1 mixed

$30.50@31; No. 1 clover $24@25; rye

straw $11.50@12; wheat and oat straw

$10.50@12 per ton in ‘carlots.



Pittsburgh—There is a decided im-

provement in the hay market. No. 1

and good No. 2 timothy, new or old,

are exceedingly scarce and the de-_

mand is very urgent. The lower grades

are also better; although the call is not

w
OMMERCIAL cheese making is



a declining industry in New



York. There are now only 1766



factories where cheese is made in op-

, oration in the state.



' Away back in 1870 there were 100,-



000,000 pounds of cheese manufactur-



, ed in New York state, while the total





production for the entire country was .

' «What exaggerated, but g0vernment in-





162,000,000 pounds. The manufacture

' of cheese reached its climax in 1880,

when 137,526,394 pounds were produc-

ed. Then New ~York state manufactur-

‘ed fifty-six and a half per cent of all

the cheese produced in the United

.. States. 'Thé’ cheese markets at Little

Falls. and, those established later at

Watertown, in the great north coun-

."‘. try, and Cuba and Salamanca in the

- western part of- the state, set the price

for the industry. Their quotations were

run in every dairy market report.



Since 1880, the productionof cheese

has steadily declined, and hundreds of

factories have been supplanted by

milk stations and condensaries.



The demand of the cities for ,market

milk has driven the cheese industry





back into a few hill towns in western '





New Yerk, and the St. Lawrence river

counties, and there is now scarcely a

dairy community so remote that the

milk station is not competing with the

cheese factory, with winning chances

favoring the milk station.



New York state cheese factories for-

merly exported their products in large

quantities to Europe, but this export

trade was lost some years ago when

“filled" and “skim-milk” cheeses were

put onto the ,market, while our north-

ern "competitors, the Canadians, were

prohibited by law from making “filled”

cheese and “skim-milk" cheese unless

marked as such, and by this means

they won and held the foreign markets

fer cheese until the war in EurOpe be-

gan, when much cheese was exported

from the United States to supply the

needs of our allies.



According to George E. Hague, Con—

ductor of the Dairy Division of the

.State Division of Agriculture, who was

himself a large manufacturer of cheese

for many years, the loss of our export

trade cannot be wholly charged to the

superior quality of Canadian cheese,

but it has been .due in considerable

measure to 'the increased demand for

our home trade. Such demand increas-

ed from year to year until, for a num-

,' ber of years before the war, it took

all the cheese manufactured in the

United States at a better price than

exporters were willing to pay for Can-

adian cheese.



“When our manufacturers began to

manufacture cheese for home trade in-

stead of export, and ship them out

from the factory only a week Or ten

days from the hoop instead of holding

them for weeks in the factory to

cure,” says. Mr. Hogue, “it was dis-

covered that the home trade demand-

ed softer cheese than the export trade,

and the manufactories therefore be-

gan to change their methods of manu-

facture to suit the requirements of

the home trade by making a softer

cheese. In this connection some of the

cheese manufacturers discovered that

by washing the curds or soaking them

in water they were able to manufac-

, ture cheese that appeared to be softer

, and more suitable for the home trade

markets.

has been that some of the makers also

discovered they could add consider-

able to the 'weight of the cheese by

soaking the curd in water before it





/ mas put to press and thereby return

The result of 'this‘ practice"





When in the retail

weather, It is related by an after-din-

ner speaker. at a recent cheese mak-

ers! banquet, that a man went‘into a

store in Philadelphia recently, and

saw ’a row of. cheeses on a bench and

under the bench swere buckets. filled

with water that dripped from the wash

curd cheeses. This tale may be some-





spectors have found cheese made in

northern New York factories that con-

tained as high as forty-six per cent

moisture,



This condition has led to the enact-





lment of a law fixing the moisture con-





tent limit of forty per cent for whole

milk cheeSe and 42 per cent for wash

cur'd cheese, and requiring that cheese

DENMARK NOW.LOOKS TO AMER-

ICA FOR CHEESE.





HIPMENTS of cheese to Denmark



seems about as inept as carrying

coals to Newcastle, but such are

the fortunes of war. Denmark, one of

the largest cheese producers of the

world, is now looking to America for

supplies because lack of feed during

the four years of war has so reduced

the dairy industry that it is compelled

to import cheese to meet the demands

of the country. The American consul

at Odense, the center of the cheese in-

dustry, considers that American

cheese may find a ready sale in Den-

mark, as the" following excerpts from

his report to the Department of State

indicate:



“The district of Odense is Denmark’s

most important cheese producing area

but nevertheless there would now

seem to be possibilities for a market

here for cheese imported from Unit-

ed States. The economic conditions

of the past four years have so affect-

ed the Danish dairy industry that it

would seem for at least a year from

the present date, unless there should

come an unusually good grass crop,

there could be found a market here

for the American article.





“One wholesale dealer in Odense





states he thinks he could dispose of





one hundred tons of American cheese

during 1919. This dealer has already

had an offer from America but the

price was too high. This was, namely,

forty cents per pound for cheese with

a thirty-three per cent fat content (c.

i. f. Copenhagen) and thirty cents per

pound for a cheese with an eighteen

per cent fat. content





,“T-he fact that the government still.





maintains ipmaximal price for, the

homeproducts limits the price which

can be paid for American cheese. If

this maximal price is removed it is

probable the price 'Will go up consid-

erably and there would then be more

opportunity for the American article

to compete. Now, however, in order

to compete with Danish cheese, Amer-

ican exporters must reckon with this

maximal price which Wholesalers here

pay. the dairies for the Danish article.

This amounts to the following, the

Danish crown being estimated at twen-

ty-five cents: Skim-milklcheese, 191/4

cents fier'pound; cheese with nine per

cent fat content;_211,é cents; cheese

with fifteen per cent fat content, 25

cents; chbese with thirty per cent fat

content, 31% cents per pound. .

“Exporters must also reckon with

the duty on cheese here, which at the





adding present (than rate will amount! to

. w about two nfi a halt W per pound

should be marked “excess moisture.”





Although there has been a steady





shrinkage in volume of cheese produc-

ed in New York, Mr. Hogue says that

as long as there is a surplus of milk

during the summer, to be made into

cheese, some factories will be operat-

ed, but. only for a short time, making

it very difficult to secure experienced

cheese makers. ~



It is probable that if the Dairymen’ s





League succeeds in putting its gigane





tic milk handling plan intmsuccessful

operation, some of the surplus will be

manufactured into fancy brands of





cheese, in league factOries, in connec-





tion with the production of creamery

butter and other milk products which

the league is planning to manufacture

and sell under its own brand.E. E. R.





on which prices were quoted above





.would have the best chance in the





Odense market—‘for example, a cheese

with not more than a fifteen per cent

fat content. Such an article should

compete with the above named home

cheese, bringing maximal prices vary-

ing from nineteen and one-fourth to

twenty-five cents per pound. Also the

fact that the American cheese will not

be subject to the maximal price

should justify wholesalers in demand-

ing slightly more for the imported ar-

ticle.



“Besides the freight and customs

duty there are other things to be con-

sidered in exporting cheese such a

long distance. First there must be

care in packing to prevent breakage.

Then account must be taken of the

fact that during a two weeks’ voyage

the cheese may diminish from three

to four per cent or even more, a loss

which the buyer must of course bear.”





EMBARGO ON LIVE POULTRY.





XPRESS officials last week sent



out notice of an embargo on live

poultry to eastern centers in local lots,

to agents, west of Buffalo and Pitts-

burgh and south of Washington, read-

ing as follows:



“The impossibility of transporting

live poultry during the summer

months without serious loss is being

demonstrated every day. In order to

avoid these losses and to insure the

delivery, in reasonably good condition,

of 'such poultry as may be safely han-

dled, it is necessary to place an em-

bargo on shipments from points south

of Washington and west of Buffalo and

Pittsburgh, destined to points north

and east of those cities, therefore, live

poultry for market from points in the

states of Michigan; Ohio, Kentucky,

Virginia and West Virginia, and all

states south and west thereof, destin-

ed to points in the New England states,

New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,

Delaware and Maryland, east of Buf-

falo and Pittsburgh or north of Wash-

ington must be refused.



“Shipments for Washington, Buffalo

and Pittsburgh which can reach those

cities over night or Within approxi-

mately eighteen hours, may be ac-

cepted. ‘
