CURRENT COMMENT

NY attempt on the

part of organized
interests to bring
about a reduction in
the prices of farm
produce is sure to, re-
sult in a decline in food production
throughout the nation. A study of the
agricultural situation in Michigan in-
dicates clearly that the present agita-
tion over the question of the high cost
of'living and the efforts to reduce the
prices of staple food products is re

The Farmer
3 and Food
Prices

sulting in a mat rial reduction in the.

production of food crops on .the part of
farmers.

The decline in meat priCes during
the: past few days has resulted in many
farmers hesitating to fill silos, buy
feeder cattle and otherwise prepare
fur feeding out the roughage from
their farms to live stock. A majority
of Michigan farmers have already dc.
cided to reduce their feeding opera-
tions to the lowest possible notch and
cash in on their grain and hay crops.
Why all the campaign against the high
cost of living should be directed to-
ward ethe producers of food, and no
attention directed toward rents, cloth-
ing and recreation which are taking a
larger share of the wage-earner’s in-
come, is beyond the reasOning powers
of any student of economics.

The time is past when the farmers
of America‘can be induced to produce
food products below the actual cost of
production in order that wage-earners
may be feted and petted by politicians.
Every reduction in the price of farm
products means longer hours for the
farmer and his family, and shorter
hours and more luxuries for the wage-
earner and his family. The farmer
feels that he is entitled to equal jus-
tice in this matter of prices for neces-
sities and luxuries, and that if the
wage—earners are granted special fa-
vors whereby they can live well and
support their families from the pro-
coeds of eight hours labor a day that
he should be able to do likewise.

In considering what can be done to
reduce the cost of living one thing
should be constantly borne in mind.
That is to do nothing to interfere with
the ability of the farmer to produce
feud crops. For it cannot be too often
repeated, that the only Way the inc0me
of the mass of the people of this coun-
try or any other country can be in-
‘ claosod- is by increasing the amount
of food, clothing and other necessities
men they produce.

Europe. This speculation mallet one

"It has created speculative waves and
inflated prices to a point unendurabie
to the consumer, or, in the'reverse sit-
uation, unendurable to the farmer.

While we have sufficient food in
sight to meet every demand for the
coming year, constructive plans must
be made to maintain a prosperous ag-
riculture if'we are to have the world
fed in the future and maintain stabila
ity at home and abrOadf The sooner
the food speculators have their illu-
sions destroyed the better for the con-
sumer and'the farmer.

HE way the farm-
ers of Michigan
are joining the new
state farm bureau
movement is proof
sufficient that they no
longer place confidence in the old type
of farmers’ and political organizations
to solve their problems. For years the
farmers have realized the need of a
democratic business organization of
nation-wide scope to promote the de-
velopment of agriculture. They have
also. realized that it requires an expen-
diture of considerable money to per-
fect an efficient organization that is
entirely independent of other interests
and free to work in behalf of agricul-
ture. It is not a question of how cheap
an organization can be run, but how
well it can be made to serve the peo-
ple in whose interests it is working.
So long as the county farm bureau
had to deal only with problems of in-
creasing production it was entitled
to liberal support from the federal
government, as well as from state and
county funds, but since other interests
have organized toforce down the price
of what the farmer has to market he
is compelled to organize or see his bus-
iness ruined. Without an efficient bus-
iness organization he has no“ official

standing among the other industries of

the country. ’ The organization of state
and national farm bureaus to deal with
business problems can lay no just
claim to funds appropriated by the na-
tion, state and county; because it
deals with business problems of inter-
est to the farmer, rather than the na-
tion, state and county as a whole. This
explains in a measure why the perfec-
tion of efficient state and national farm
bureaus is going to require greater exd
penditures, consequently greater mem-
bership fees. than our present county
farm bureaus that deal only with prob-
lems of production.

The idea of utilizing the present
county farm bureaus as units of a pow-
erful state and national organization
has found favor in more than fifteen
states where they have united strong
state organizations to look after the
interests of the farmers. In a few
months they meet in Chicago to per-
fect a national organization."

A national farmers ’organization bas—
ed up0n the county farm bureaus as
the units can be welded-into a ‘com-
plete and efficient organization at far
less expense than such an organiza-
tion can be effected in any other'way;

besides it is the only means whereby.

the existing farmers’ organizations can
be successfully united and a definite
plan of action decided upon. 3We have

ization‘s. trimmers-cachet which has

percentage of the Counties line up in

the state organization and the state or

ganizations line up with a-poweri’ul na-
tional organization, then such an on

‘ganization wiII- accurately represent

the interests of the American farming

and will be able to deal intelligently

with some of the great problems eon.
fronting both agriculture and other
great industries. Such an organize;
tion can combine the influence and
strength of American farmers fa’r more
eflectively than any type of fraternal
or political organization ever. contem-
plated.

The big questiOn confronting our
farmers during the next few months
is whether the efforts, will be so scat-
tered and dissipated as to allow the
opportune time to slip by. One thing
is evidentuand that is that the farm-
ers of the United States are sure to
be at the mercy of other interests un-
til they can get together and unite up-
on some definite state and national
program for the betterment of agricul-
ture, which includes rural life as a
whole, as well as prices for farm pro-
ducts. If the present opportunity pass-
es it will prove a real calamity be.
cause it will require years before sen-
timent is as favorable for such a na-

’tional get-together program as now, ,

It is to be regretted that a few agri-
cultural leaders in Michigan are show-
ing a lack of interest in the organiza-
tiOn of a strong state farm bureau, but
fortunately the counties represented
by some of the strongest leaders are
fallingin line with the state and na-
tional program and doing everything
within their powers to aid in the great
membership drive to be madethis fall.
The executive board of the Barry
County Farm Bureau in a recent meet-
ing at Hastings fully approved the new
membership fee of $10, of which $5.00
goes to the state organization. They
also have requested State Secretary
Charles A. Bingham to put on a county
driVe for members at the earliest date
possible. Oakland county is also pre-
pared to put on a drive on the same
basis, and Van Buren county is prac—
tically ready for work along the same
lines. Vigorous campaigns will be put
on in other Counties as raplrlyzas the
State Farm Bureau oboperating with
the local boards can make arrange-
ments and secure men for assisting in
the work. A majority of thecounties
are enthusiastic over the prospects for
perfecting a strong state organization,
and it is confidently expected that ev-
ery county will be in line before the
fall campaign is over.

It is time for all of us who have an
interest in agriculture to unite and
present a solid front on matters per-
taining to our business interests, Let
us have your views on- the proposition.
Are you in favor of allowing the other
great interests of the country to make
a football of your business, or do you
want “to go before them and present
your case in a voice that will not be
misunderstood? What are your ideas
on the state and ‘national farm bu-
reaus? We shall be glad to furnish
any information 'or to give any assist—

its of farm products prove conclusive"
ly- that the great productive class of
our population are going about their ,

ployers and employes in cities and in.
dustrial centers are wrestling with
the complex problems, (if-wages, strikes
and. general unrest. Few thinking new
me believe that the farmer ismehin‘é

for the present inflated prices of food
products; in fact, well-posted city peo-
ple know that he is content to ,go ser-
enely about his work and practice one .
of the real. arts of peace so long. as he
is insured of a living price for .what he
produces. a

Manufacturers of machinery, horn!
conveniences and not a few of the 1111(- ~
uries find the farmer a liberal buyer
of their products at times when he is
prosperous. He‘is a good steady buy-
er because he goes on from day to day
working steadily as a matter of course,
instead of striking and idling. Farm?
ers have never resorted to striking as
a means of disposing of their troubles;
yet no class of people on earth could
create greater suffering and inconven‘
ience or gain their points more surely
and swiftly than farmers, should they
decide to close their shops and strike
£01 higher pay and better working con-
ditions.

The exhibit of live stock at the State
Fair was the best all around show of
any year in its history. But most of
the educational value of' this great
gathering of high-class live stock was
lost because of the lac]: of suitable .
judging rings in which the animals
could be displayed to good advantage.
The roads and groves are no place to
show animals; besides, people must be
provided with comfortable seats if
they are to enjoy the work of the
judges. Catalogs should. be at hand
and the judging of the breeds announc-
ed so that the audience may under
stand what is going ’on in the ring if .
the exhibits are to yield their maxi~
munr educational value to the audi-
ence. One live man with a megaphone
could have done a whole lot to have
improved the educational value of the
live stock judging at the fair.

, ., ,_ Member of tlze Farm Bureau,
' := 2 ¢ Statement as- an Exprm‘mn

URING the last few months the
agitation concerning the cost of
living has become acute, and is

now culminating in official investiga-

tions Carried on by many cities and

states, and by the government of the
United States. . .

This agitation and the investiga-
tions center mainly on food products,
that is to say, farm products. Those
engaged in agriculture are being blam-
ed for this “high cost; ” often intem—
perate and misleading statements are
made about the “selfish profiteering"
farmer, and a systematic campaign is
now being waged to lessen the farm
income. The time has come when in
our own behalf, we, the country peo-
ple of this county desire to speak.

. First, we wish to say that we wel-

. come honest, official inquiry into costs

and profits. We earnestly hope inves-r
tigations will be thorough and compre-
hensive; that they ‘Will embrace all
lines; business and professional as

well as productive, and that the earn-z
ing- Capacity and hours of daily labor"

on the farm, in the factory, and mine,
in transportation and in the office shall
be fully and plainly set forth and com-
pared; in order that all the people
shall know the truth.

In this connection we wish to invite
the attention of the public to the fol-
lowing facts concerning agriculture:
There are millions of acres in the
United States which a few yeais ago
were producing food, that now lie idle.
This area is steadily increasing—and
this increase in untilled acres has been
the most rapid during recent years.
We call attention. to the hundreds of
unoccupied houses in the country dis-
tricts, left behind by laboring people
who have gone cityward. We wish

city people to note the fact, that the
number of these empty country houses
is. growing larger. .

We make the statement that other
industries are paying wages which the
average farm owner cannot afiord to
pay, and that a majority of farmers
are not able to meet the expenses and
provide for the upkeep of their farms,
and have remaining for their own lab-
or the compensation received by the
average city workman; and that here-
in lies the reason for partially cultivat-
ed farms and vacant country houses,
an illustration of the economic princi-
ple that labor flows from the less prof-
itable industries. ‘

It has been suggested that it is the
duty of the government to adopt a pol-
icy that will “smash” the price of food
products. It is well to forecast the re-
sults if such a policy were carried out.
The farmers are not only the greatest
producers in the country, they are the
greatest consumers as well. They not
only consume household supplies and
clothing in common with other people,
but they consume building material for
barns and storage houses, they con-
sume fencing, mowers, hay rakes and
loaders, binders, plows, barrows, culti-
vators, planters, grain drills, wagons,
manure Spreaders, tractors, sleighs and
cutters, harnesses, horse blankets,
grain sacks, fertilizers, spades, shov-
els, hoes, forks, axes. saws, and an al-
most limitless list of other supplies,
and-in their constant fight against in-
sect pests and diseases of plants and
animals, the farmers also spend mil-

lions of dollars annually for poisons,

for sprayers and spraying materials.
"Smashing" the farmers’ income
would not smash his desire to “con-

 

 

 

food production, but it would smash
his power to pay for the products of
other people’s labor. If the farmer’s
income is partially destroyed he will
be compelled to curtail to the mini-
mum the purchase of farm supplies.

Tens of thousands of laboring men
now engaged in manufacturing arti-
cles for farm consumption will be ’com—
pelled to look elsewhere for employ-
ment. As they become the competi-
tors of. other workmen what will be
the effect on the labor market? “The
farmer never strikes.” True, but while
he will continue to labor on his farm
he will not hire unprofitable labor, and
as the nuinber‘of'men working on the
farm continues to grow smaller, and
as the farm equipment through lack of
renewal becomes less efficient, what
will be the effect on the total amount
of food produced? ‘

It is well for city consumers to con-
sider seriously the inevitable results
before they use the power which they
certainly possess to “smash" the farm-
er’s income.

The amount of taxes raised in the
average township and county and in
many states is controlled by country
people. With their income pared down
by a “smashing" policy, a rigid and
necessary retrenchment in taxes must
follow. What will happen to our road
building programs, and other expendi-
tures for the public betterment?

We read daily of strikes for higher
wages and shorter hours for labor. The
farmer does not seek to exercise this
right, fully conceded to other classes

’of laboring people, and freely exercis-

ed by them, but suppose the farmer
should follow the example he so often
sees set before him.

sume" these essentials to efficient food Suppose he, too, would demand rea-

sonable interest on his capital, the nec-
essary allowance for depreciation, the
city rate for hourly labor and the eight
hour day, and cease to produce until
his demands were granted? Then, in~
deed, would the cost of food be high;
as high in proportion as the products
of other people’s labor are today.

Let those who inveigh against the
“profiteering farmer” think on these
things.

The cost of living is the ever con-
stant shadow that follows the rate of
wages and the price of service. In this
country commodities, labor, profession-
al services, must go up and go down
together.

Here there is no peasantry. Rural
people are not chained to the soil. For
a time there may be a low scale of
living and rate of wages for labor in
the country, and a better living and
higher wages in the city, but no such
condition can endure.

If it is the desire of the American

people to curtail extravagance, to en- '

ter upon a'period of retrenchment, of
lower prices and wages, the farmer, if
need be, will go the full length of the
road; but he will not go alone—others
mus-t follow. If as may be, a panic re-
sults from the present agitation, the
farmer will endure his share 'of the

hardships entailed.

We repeat, now that investigation is
the order of the day, let it be thorough
—-——let it extend into all lines 'of busi-
ness, all lines of production and of la-
bor, and when all the facts are known.
if the American people desire legisla-
tion 'let it be enacted. Then let us call
a halt on agitation, on crimination and
recrimination; and for the good of all,
end the efforts to shackle the hand
that feeds us.

The 1919 Commercial Potato Crop

CCORDING to Bureau of Crop
Estimates, the commercial pota-
to crop will show a decrease
from 1918. Information now at hand
shows a general falling off in acreage
.of from five to ten per cent. Condi-
tions in the far west are not promising.
The acreage is less and the stand poor.
In Maine the conditions are good. In

.New York the Long Island crop is

promising, while other sections report
conditions rather poor. In the potato
growing sections of Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota the crop conditions
indicate a falling off from last year.
Michigan shows a ten' point and Wis-
consin ,a twenty point decline. Condi-
tions in Minnesota are much better, al-

though considerably below‘ the 1918‘

standard. Reports from some of the

, leading states are as follows:

Maine.-,—The growing condition of

potatoes in Maine on Au3nst 1 was 85

New ,York has an acreage of about
six per cent less than last year and six
per cent less than the average, and a
condition of about 84 per cent for the
state. Outside of the Long Island Dis-
trict, however, the commercial crop is
in but fair condition. The average for
the state, exclusive of Long Island, is
78 per cent. There is a general com-
plaint of this stand. and very spind-
ling growth as .the result of the hot
weather. Potato beetles are reported
Very abundant and there has been
some damage from flee beetles; also
dry weather in some scattered; sec-
tions; The crop averages from one to

ree weeks late, so that loss from
frost is likely to be greater than usual.
Prospects seem to be particularly on-
favorable north of the Adirondacks,
particularly in the heavy shipping sec-
tions around Lake Champlain. There
is little late blight as yet, except on
early varieties. In Suffolk icounty, Long
Island, where about forty per cent of
the potato shipments of the state origi-
hate, conditions are most promising
{and a 94 per cent. crop is expected.
The stand is geod. weather conditions

Michigan. ——Continued dry weather
during July, together with insect and
fungous troubles, have reduced the out-
look from 92 to 79 per cent of normal
conditions. Many of the late planted
fields have had no rain since planting,
and are not showing as good stands as
those planted earlier under more fav-
orable soil conditions. Although near-
ly every county in the lower peninsula
of Michigan and a number in the up-
per peninsula of Michigan produce
some potatoes commercially, yet the
bulk of the crop is grown in the follow-
ing Counties: These counties have
been grouped together into districts for
convenience of reference: Gaylord
district—Cheboygan and adjoining
counties. Traverse City District—An-
trim, Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Ben-
zie and Manistee counties. Cadillac
District—Kalkaéka, Missaukee, Wex-
ford, Osceola and Lake counties.
Greenyille District—Newaygo, Mecos-
ta, Montcalm, Kent, Ionia, Isabella and
Gratiot counties. Hart District—Ma-

Eastern District—m'Il-uscola,

Lapeer and Oakland counties. The con-
dition
about 90 per cent; in the potato sec-
tions of the upper peninsula, in the
Hart District and the Eastern District
it ranges between 80 and 90 per cent;
in the Grand Traverse region, 70 per
cent; in the Greenville District, 80 per
cent, and from 70 to 80 per cent in the
remaining districts. Present conditions
indicate this year’s commercial crop
will be at least 1,400,000 bushels less
than the crop of 1918, which was esti-
mated at 8,400,000 bushels.
Wisconsin—The condition of the
commercial potato acreage in Wiscon-
sin on August 1 indicates 73 per cent
of a normal yield as compared to 93
per cent in 1918. The very marked de-
cline in condition during the past
month was due to hot, dry weather,
and injury from insects. Rain the last
days of the month will help the late
crop in northern counties, but it is still
dry in. the central counties.
Minnesota—Rains during the last
week in July have improved prospects
in all-districts of the state. The early
crop has suffered from heat and yields
are reduced in consequence. The east-

ern district, in which the early cropv‘

predominates, has an estimated condi-
tion of 73 per cent.

EXPECTS FOOD PRICES TO DROP.

Ames’ statement followed a letter by
the shopmen leaders advising their
men to withhold striking for ninety
days to give the government a chance
to make good in its fight to bring down

BEET AND CANE SUGAR»

 

AS a result of- tbe political rear
arrangement of, the beet sugar pro-
ducing countries of Europe and more
particularly due to the falling off in
production of sugar beets in and the

destruction of sugar manufacturing. ,

plants On that continent, the United
States will this year be second 111 or-

der of the nations in regard to output

of that product, first place still being
conceded to Germany. .

United States beet sugar production
in the cm rent year seems likely to be
about 1,750,000, 000 pounds against 1,-
385,000,000 in the year before the war;
484,000,000 in
1905, 163,000,000 in 1900; 45,000,000
in 1895, and 5,000,000 in 1890. The
cane sugar crop which is. unusually
low, seems likely to form less than
onefifth of the total output of the
country.

Sugar beets, according to a state-
ment issued by the National City Bank
of New York, now produce only about
twenty-five per cent of the -’ sugar of.
the world, as against fifty per cent in
1911, and sixty-five per cent in 1900
and 1897. Normally, beets supply about
one-half of the sugar of the World,
their large percentage in 1900 and the
years immediately preceding being
due to the very small production of
cane sugar in Cuba during and imme-
diately following her war with Spain.
With the return to normal production
of cane sugar in Cuba, the share
which beets were producing of the
world’s supply dropped from sixty-five
per cent to fifty per cent in. 1911 and
1913, forty-seven per cent in 1914,
forty-four per cent in 1915, thirty—five
per cent in 1916, thirty-three per cent
in 1917, twenty-eight per cent in 1918,
and is estimated at about twenty-five
per cent in 1919, this charge being due
in part to the fall off of beet sugar
productiou in Enrope and in part to
the increased production of cane sugar,
produced in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii,
the Philippine Islands and Java.

The world’s production of sugar in
the current crep, year will probably be
about 37,000,000,000 pounds as against
42,000,000 111 1914, and the share pro-
duced from beets abOutv twenty-five per
cent as against forty-seven per cent
in 1914. ‘

“V8 FOOD EXPORT BAN WOULD
HARM U. 3.. TRADE.

 

URTAILMENT of exports of food

' would not only cause hardship in
Europe, but would be injurious to this
country, is the opinion of Represents!
tive Haugen, of lava, chairman of the;
House Committee on Agriculture.

“If it is the desire to reduce wages,
that of course can be accomplished by
carrying out the suggestion prohibit-e
ing exports of foodstuflfs,” said Mr.
Haugen in discussing the high cost of
Iiving problem. _“Prohibiting exports
would of course decrease the demand.
If it reduCed the price of products, it
naturally would stifle production on
the farm. .

“Our experience has been that when
we have business lagging on the farm
we have crumbling banks and closed
factories and mills in the cities. When
we have closed factories the wage
earner is, of course, out of empmy-
ment. The result would be the same
as when some years ago farm products
were selling low; when wheat and
corn were selling for less than one—
tenth of what they now are, selling.
There was no scarcity of food then,
but a shortage of money withwhich to
buy food; no complaint of high prices
then, nevertheless many went hungry.
Hence there is no relief in that. In-
stead ef relief, it would result not only
in starvation in Europe, but hardship
in this country as well.

“If exports were prohibited we; would
be cut oil from $2,504,895,554 annually
paid us far foodstun’s. Balances of
trade are settled in gold. As exports
are cut down, balances in our favor
are cut correspondingly.

“Whenever imports exceed our ex-'
ports we have an adverse balance,
which means the exportation of gold.
Gold is the basis of currency. When

gold is exported and if our supply

should be exhausted we would be fore-
ed to go into the world’s market to
buy gold. The more gold we will have
to buy. the more bonds and certificates
of indebtedness or currency we will
have to issue. The further we travel
in that direction. the deeper we get
into the hole.

Mr; Haugen deprecates talk of put-

5 ting cold storage goods on the market ,

at the present time.
”The present amount of food in stor-

age is only from two to ten per- cent,
of the total annual production of the

various commodities,” said.“ ,Mr. Hair
gen. “These supplies Would'last only

of the wheat. It shows itself by turn-
ing the wheat kernel into a puffy ball

had met its eager response from pa-
triotic Michigan farmers and these
men went out to face the elements and'
plant the crop a battling world de-
manded. ‘

The elements that met them were
cold and wet. The soil which had been
far too dry in the first week of Sep-
tember, became. by the middle of the
month too wet to plant in. Rain every
day was the schedule presented by the
weather man. Wheat planting dragged
along from the middle of September
until the last week of October. Seed
lots that normally would have. been
popped into the ground .in two days
took twenty for the planting.

The growth which came from these
late, plantings was not the normal. It

was weak, yellowed and spindling. In,

to such wheat smut entered readily.
The methods the smut uses in get-
ting into the wheat are ingenio’us
enough to be worthy Of a better busi-

es of smut in crops grown in 1918- 1919
are hard to explain on any other basis.

The prevention of wheat smut is
comparable to what could be used to
ward off an attack by any othe1 des-
perate robber. Kill him before he gets
in to db his foul business. This con-h
trol of wheat smut has been accom-
plished under Michigan conditions by
the use of formaldehyde.

For years farmers have been advis-
ed to soak their grain for a few min-
utes—not more than ten—in a solution
made with one pint of formaldeyde
(sometimes called formalin) is forty
gallons of water. The grain is slowly
stirred into tubs or barrels and all

'light grain and smut balls are skim-
med off. The solution is then drained
off and the grain spread thinly to dry.
it should be planted at once, as soon
as it will go through the drill, due al‘
lowance for the swollen condition be-

duce an enormous number of smaller]
spores—secondary spores or conidia,
as they are called. These are produc-

ed in great numbers and each of these ing made
is able to infect the wheat plant. It is, This is the surest method for smut‘
to return to our figure, as if the man control. Unfortunately, it is a slow

who wanted to board the engine sud-
denly hired a hundred swift- footed men
to run for him But we must not think
that these little spores have power of
motion. They are released readily
from the tubes on which they are
borne, and each rain floats them from
their point of origin along to the ten.
der place on the sprouting grain. Many
come to nothing in the soil, but some
“arrive.” The secondary spores which
reach the sprout, germinate, bore their
way in and take possession of the
wheat plant. To make our figure com-
plete, we must imagine this man on
the freight train to be the commander
of a set of desperadoes, who go to the
engine and overpower the engineer,
making him run the engine to suit
their nefarious purpose. The story of
the attack of smut is the story of a
robbery. It is evident, therefore, that
cold, wet seasons favor smut by giv-
ing the wheat 11 poor start and by aid-
ing the dissemination of the small
“seeds” of the smut fungus. The year
1917 gave a crop with more stinking
smut than the average, and the effect
of this on the 1918 crop was evident.
Seed with smut balls in it tends to
give a smutty crop the next year.
There is in addition the possibility
that in harvesting the wheat. in the
summer of 1918 that soil infestation
came about. This is known in the ex-
treme west and produces, a serious
problem in wheat smut control. It
has not been common in the eastern
part ofthe country. Some of the cas~

process and one that the busy farmer
is apt to neglect. Michigan acreages
are hardly large enough to lead farm-
ers to install a treating machine which
would speed up the process.

The slowness of the standard treat-
ment led farmers to try to handle the
wheat as they had learned to treat
oats—by sprinkling with the formalde-
hyde, one pint to forty gallons, and
covering for two hours, then spreading
to dry. This method has been widely
used and where the grain is fairly
clean and has been fanned to remove
smut balls gives. a‘ crop that is free
from smut. This method has become
standard and has a host of friends.
With a clean lot of grain for seed it is
an excellent protection and insures the
farmer’s crop. With a smutty lot of
Seed it may not completely eliminate
smut and hence is not as efficient as
the slower “soak and skim” method.
Farmers have commonly thought it
safe so far as effect on germination is
concerned, but we have learned that
this treatment cuts germination slight—
ly, and sometimes, if carelessly used,
enough to injure the stand.

If the grain is planted at once the
effect on the stand is negligible—-and
is probably a good thing for most
Michigan farmers seed too heavily for
the best crop. However, if the grain
is held covered overnight and if plant-
ing is delayed, then the grain may
freeze, mold or heat, or else the for-
maldehyde may injure. Surely twelve
hours is as long as it is advantageous
to hold wheat after treating by this
method. .

In 1916 the farmers. of Kent county
tried upon'their wheat crop the dry
treatment recently introduced for cats.
The treatment was successful and the
control of smut satisfactory. in 1917
the treatment was outlined in college
bulletins and many farmers tried it in
that cold wet planting season; injury
to the stand developed in many cases.
Nearly all of these cases had injury as
the result of over-treatment or as a.
result of covering longer than the
specified four hours. There were many
however, who had followed directions

i” he use of plaster and stucco is not
new‘in the building industry although
ed'in an attempt. to make it mere sue-
cessful. Many early English and Am-
erican houses were built. with lime and
cement plaster. which has withstood
the action of the Weather to quite a
degree. With the introduction of Port-
land cement, it was, thought that the
ideal stucco material was found and
perhaps it may be said that, where all-
conditions can be satisfactorily met,
cement plaster, or stucco, does give a
most permanent type ’of construction.
A large amount of stucco work has
been done on wood lath but it cannot
be said that this plan is generally sat-
isfactory. Cement does not have the
same rate of Shrinkage as wood. And
further, any'moisture which has pene-
trated the cement or reached the wood’
lath has caused a shrinking and swell-
ing which has loosened the stucco. Al-
so, when this construction is used,
cracks occur in the plaster, due possi.
bly to shrinkage of the walls and,
cracks will be found at the joints of
the lath and other irregular places in
the wall. These cracks permit water
to get in behind the plaster and create
havoc with it, especially in freezing
. weather.
The use of steel for reinforcing con-
crete has produced wonderful results.
The whole success of steel as a rein-
forcing agent depends upon the fact
‘ that it has the same rate of expansion
and contraction as has concrete and it
may therefore be used as a bond in
concrete to hold the entire mass to-

'as to the acid in concrete, I may say
that no difficulty can. be had from this
cause as cement has alkaline rather
than acid properties. Cement furnish-

\ es excellent protection for steel so
long as the steel is thoroughly cover-
ed with cement so that air and mois-
ture cannot have access to the steel
and it is for this reason that engineers
usually specify that the steel shall be
embedded in the concrete to a depth
of one inch.or more.

The expansion and reinforcing prop-
erties of steel are excellent for con-~

' crete and the use of steel lath is pen
haps open to but one objection and

arketing Poultry
the pullets to represent the profit on
the season’s work; -» The broilers may
make even a greater profit if they are
carefully fed and hatched from stock
which produces vigorous chicks that
grow rapidly. ‘

In many small towns there is not a
good market for broilers because many
consumers have their own docks and
many housewives prefer a. large fat
hen so that there will be enough poul-
try meat for a fair-sized family on Sun-
day and enough left over for the Mon-
day dinner. Broiler meat has usually
been considered a luxury. Whether
that is true or not depends on the
point of view of the conSumer and the
size -i his purse. At least it pays to
disregard the local broiler market if it
is not paying a profitable price and
ship the stock to 'a reliable commie
sion dealer in some city Where broil‘
ers are appreciated. _

Often the hotel trade will take quite
a. few broilers. Hotel managers usu-
ally prefer two-pound stock which is
evenly graded as they wish to serve
equal portions to their patrons. They
do not wish to serve broilers ranging
in weight from one and a half to three
and a half pounds to diners who are.
paying the same price for‘ a broiler
dinner. "Frequently hotel men prefer
to buy of commission dealers who can
always furnish broilers of the desired
weight whenever they are wanted rath-
er than tradewith producers who may
be careless about grading their stock
and shipping it on time.

Broilers of one breed sell the best
as they look the best in the crate and
are more apt to be uniform in size and
quality. Private consumers seem to
like broilers the best when they weigh
about three pounds. The three-pound

HROUGHOUT the season it
. pays to give the flock of old,

hens an occasional culling. The
hens that moult early or become over
fat should be marketed. The hens that
have reached two and three years of
age have usually passed their most
profitable stage and they should bere-
placed by vigorous pullets. Some farm-y
ers‘do very well by marketing dressed
poultry to private customers. Others
‘save‘ time by selling .the birds live
weight to local dealers with the idea
that the lower price received is much
more than balanced by the work elim-
inated. Dressing- poultry is not a par-
ticularly pleasant job on a hot summer
day and it cannot be done to the best
advantage without some equipment
and experience.

Some local dealers do not like to
buy old roosters but they will take
them along with the hens and they al-
low a shrinkage of one pound on each
rooster in the crate and then pay for
the entire lot at the same price per
pound as. the hens. For example, ‘if
there are nine hens and one rooster in
a crate, and the dealer is buying them
at thirty cents per pound live weight,
he will subtract one pound from the
total weight and pay for all at thirty
cents. If the rooster weighs eight
pounds the producer is paidsfor seven
pounds of rooster, but at the same rate
as the price for hens. This saves mak-
ing a separate weighing of the male
bird. It does not have to be carried
in a separate crate and saves time dur-‘
ing the transaction for both the buyer
and the seller.

When old hens are to be sold it pays
to telephone early in the week and
make arrangements with the dealer

who is to buy them. This is better
than hauling a load of hens to town
and canvassing the main street for a
buyer. Usually a dealer will wish to
buy the hens on Thursday morning so
that he can have them dressed and
ready for the Sunday trade. He will
like to be sure of a week’s supply of
poultry several days in advance so if
7 the sale is made by telephone on Mon-

day, the birds can be caught on Wed-
nesday night and delivered early the
next morning. Often the work of haul-
ing poultry can be combined with oth-
er business trips, thus reducing the
cost of marketing.

When dressed poultry is sold to pri-
vate customers the telephone is also
of great value. Arrangements can be
quickly made with thecustomers and
the birds delivered when they are sure
of being home. The method of selling
the surplus birds in a. farm flock can
be worked out by experience as in ev-
ery community certainproblems may
enter into the transaction which are
not present ,in other cemmodities. Of-
ten it pays to try the local dealers,
the large city commission men and the
private trade and keep accurate rec-
ords of every deal. This enables the
producer to find out considerable about
poultry marketing in a verytew tran-
sactions. There are reliable dealers
in every large city and the producer

who forms business relations with
‘ them will find poultry production more
satisfactory than when the. birds are
. shipped in a. hit-and—miss manner to
buyers with m) financial responsibility.

The broiler business is a good side
line, not because the broilers are so
unusually- profitable but because the

bird makes a meal for an average fam-
ily, while the two-pound bird is a little
small. For this reason many of the
local dealers catering to private trade
will prefer three-pound stock.
'Broilers can be fattened if they are
penned up for ten days and fed a ra-

 

 

 

into a sloppy mash. Reduce the exer-
cise and increase the feed and the
healthy young cockerel can hardly
help becoming a fat broiler. Skinny
broilers are not profitable. They rep-
resent the cost of growing a bony
frame decorated with feathers but do
not have the meat which pleases the
customers and brings the best prices
on the market. There is no fortune in
the broiler business at the present
price of feed, but they are a good side
line on the farm and they are growing
up on the farms now. It will be good
business to manage them carefully and
this year when meat is bringing a high
price. these broilers should be market-
ed right so that there will be an oppor-
tunity to make them pay their cost
plus a well deserved profit for their
care. R. G. K. ’

eat, but they _were fed satisfactorily
from the baskets of fragments that
had been picked up.

Mr. James Waldron, of the M. A. C.
was present, and gave an excellent lec-
ture on feeds and feeding. Mr. A. L.
Tichane, field man for the American

‘Jersey Cattle Club, was with us and

said many good things for the Jersey
cow. Mr. Alfred Henrickson, a Jersey
breeder of wide “reputation, also pres-
ident of the Oceana Jersey Cattle Club
presided at the meeting, and offered
many timely and practical sugges-
tions.

The writer does not believe that any-
where else in Michigan can be found
a better rural chorus club than the one
in our locality. They were .present in
full force, and delightedthe great audi-
ence with some excellent music. One
of the chief attractions of the day was
an exercise in cattle judging, occur-
ring immediately after dinner. The
leaders chose sides and the— judging
proceeded with ever increasing inter-
est on~ the part of those who watched.
You cannot tell what a cow will do by
noting her conformation. In prooflof
this we‘ found a two~year-old heifer

, whose year’s record was 588 pounds of

butterfat,"third from the first in the
matter of conformation._ Mr. Waldron,
Mr. Tichane and Mr. Henrickson gave
many very practical suggestions as the
judging proceeded, and this number of

the program proved one of the most

helpful features of the day.

but it is not always 'as easy as it ‘

sounds. One of’the best dairymen I
have known, and also a very succesc-
ful breeder of dairy cattle, had scarce-
ly begun the work when he discovered
in his herd an animal reacting to the
tuberculin test. She was promptly re-
moved, the test was repeated several
times, after the lapse of sufficient pe-
riod, but he had scarce recovered from
his anxiety on this account, when his
whole herd became affected with con-
tagious abortion, if I remember rightly

 

 

he did not raise ‘a single calf that year
but he stuck. He‘simply would not
give up, and today magnificent results
appear and justify his courage.

Just a word more about the big
dairy meeting. We were glad to see
our friends from so great a distance,
and trust that when another» year shall
have passed they may return. and bring
others with them. We were happy on
account of the large number of cattle
in evidence on the ground, and the
proofs everywhere present of advance-
ment in the business of dairying in our
particular section, but the best part of
the story is not about the COWS at all.
It is about the people of this commu-
nity, who have developed much faster

than the animals under their Care. Men ,

and women cannot pursue any con-
structive line of agriculture, be it fruit
growing, live stock improvement, soil
betterment or the Production of better
varieties and yields of grains and
grasses, without giving to the work at
least a part of their better selves.

without much thought, much careful
study. and the courage that surmounts

IT SKIMS CLEAN AT ANY SPEED

You can “rest up" as you work, turning slowly and
easy-like.

Or you can turn faster and finish quickly.

But no matter how fast or how slow you turn the
Sharples, you’ll find that the cream hasn’t varied a '
bit in thickness, nor have you, lost a particle of
butterfat through turning under speed.

This is due to the Sharples Suction-feed principle.
No other separator can use this principle as it is
patented. All other separators are fixed-feed and
when you turn fast your cream thickens, and when
you turn below speed you lose butterfat.

Official tests made by nearly all agricultural colleges
have proved that the Sharples skimmed clean at
widely, varyingspeeds—without affecting thickness
of cream at the varying speeds. Write for full report.

The law permitting district schools
to be closed enables the action to that
end to be taken at a regular or a spe'.

action is taken makes transportation
to another school mandatory; but it

WHEN TO CUT FODDER CORN.

 

I have'some fodder corn (Red- Cob)
and would like to know the best time
to cut for fodder. Also the best time
to sow winter wheat and rye so as to
miss the June frosts next year.

Manistee Co.

Corn should not be cut \for fodder
until it is past the roasting stage, if
it is not injured by frosts. In other
words, it should be cut at the same
time that you would cut it and put it
into the silo, when it is just past the
roasting stage, then the corn crop con-
tains the largest percentage of diges-
Of course, if it
is injured by the frosts it should be
out immediately, the sooner the better.

Winter wheat in your latitude ought
to be sewn about the first of Septem-
ber, or say from the first to the tenth
of September, if weather conditions
are right. If it was real hot and dry
If the weath-

ture I would. not hesitate to sow win-
ter wheat the last week in August in
Manistee county. Of course, you never
, can tell what the season will be, but
wheat ought to get good growth in the
fall so that it will not be so liable to
winter-kill. Some favorable seasons it
would do to sow wheat as late as the
last of September and it would come
out all right but you are running a.
great risk. . C. C. L.

HOW TO HANDLE A SANDY FIELD.

 

‘ I have a piece of sandy soil'which
has been cleared seven years on which
five seasonsago I sowed rye, with a
101/2-bushel yield per acre. I sowed
‘Mammoth clover which failed. After
rye was taken off I sowed to rye and
vetch and have done so each season
since, with a yield of’ eighteen to twen-
lty-two bushels per acre. This spring
I sowed Mammoth clover and timothy
on part and alsike and timothy on part,
hoping to get it seeded. A portion of
it was top-dressed with stable manure
but I got no grass. What I want to
know is, will I kill the land with vetch
and rye, and will this soil grow sweet
clover, and what variety is best for
profit? Also, Would onebe more likely
to get clover by seeding in fall when
we sow the rye and vetch? I have
seven acres of this kind of soil. A por-
tion of it has been manured heavily
twice in five years .andz-I aim to go
over perhaps half (of it this, fall again.

* Vetch ran five and a half bushels ‘per

acre. this year, with "sixteen and one-

teen and a. quarter bushels of rye and

doubt, considerably above the average
for this part of the state. However, it e
is a condition observed by other grow-
ers of vetch that the yield of the com;-
panion crop is generally increased.
‘While we should hesitate to. attribute . :
the whole diflerence in this particular ’
case to the effect. of the legume in the
combination, there appears to be no,
reason to” doubt that the continued
good yields of rye for four successive
years are largely due to the effect of
the vetch on the soil, it being able to
accumulate nitrogen from the air
through the activity of the bacteria in
its root tubercles. ‘ ,‘
On general principles we would not
advise C. E. S. to continue growing rye
and vetch on these seven acres indefi-
nitely. Pass the good thing along to

other. fields and make this field take its 1' '

place in the regular rotation.

While sweet clover might do fairly
well on this field without further treat
ment, we advise the application of two
tons of ground limestone per acre and
the use of one crop of rye and vetch
for green manure to increase the hu— '
mus content of the soil. Apply the
lime this fall, if possible, when fitting
the ground for the rye. Next spring-
rather early, plow down the growth of
rye and vetch and prepare the ground
for sweet clover by the free use of
roller and barrow. Use the common
white variety of seed clover. Buy
scarified seed if possible, and inoculate
the seed or the soil. A light seeding
of cats, barley, or buckwheat for a
nurse crop may be used if desired. Af-
ter the sweet clover is well started,
eight to ten inches high, it may be pas-
tured moderately without injury. The
following year a crop of hay~and a
seed crop can be secured. Follow the
sweet clover with some cultivated
crop and a three‘year rotation has
been established. Unless severe weath-
er conditions interfere, any variety of
clover should catch on this sweet-
ened, sandy loam soil.

September 5 is too late to make a
catch of clover certain, but if the clo-
ver gets started, there is little danger
from winter injury on this type of soil.

DUCKS WITH SORE EYES.

 

.My ducks are dying with a strange
disease. They seem dull and cannot
stand up, and neither eat nor drink.
They become totally blind, eyes swol—
len and seem to be full of matter.
They are this way about three days
and then die. These ducks are a month
old. Will you tell me what ails them,
also the cure?

Wayne 00. F.‘ J. G.

Ducks may acquire this affliction
from unclean quarters, and a lack of
the proper food. A neglect to supply
grit and green food may devitalize the
birds and cause this illness. Place the
810k. birds w_here the house and yard is
clean and feed them lightly but give
plenty of grit. A little ginger sprink-
led on the food is beneficial. ‘

' NE, of the foremost problems
spamming- every dairy farmer
is thwfi of keeping his cows bred

iip‘ pfé’perly and safeguarding them

‘ from abortion and sterility, With all

the hue and cry that has been made
over bovine tuberoulosis’ being such a
menace to‘ the dairy industry, abortion
and sterility have in‘ all probability
cussed greater lessee than t ‘ rculo~
sis. It is not necessary to i‘ « educe
arguments; dairy farmers who have
spent years in building up herds of cat-
tle and had their best COWS abort from

. year to year, or become sterile when.

they were just coming to the age of
maturity, have found ruin staring
them in the face when they were‘ex-
pecting financial success.

In the light of present day knowl-
edge abortion may result from injury,
improper feeding, uterine weakness or
from contagion. The difficulty of de-
termining from which cause an indi-
vidual case may have originated makes
the problem of handling the herd all
the more difficult. Then, too, many
eXperienced herdsmen contend that
cows freQuently abort as a‘ result of a
shock to their sympathetic nervous
system. In other words, when a cow
aborts from an injury, if the herds-
man is negligent about it and leaves
the foetus in the gutters or yards, the

“ other cows sense its presence and are

apt to abort. If COWS that have abort-
ed d‘o exert a sympathetic effect upon
other cows in the herd, and it is safe

to assume that in some cases they do,
one can readily see the necessity for
removing such cows from the herd and

. treating them until they come around

all right. When; a cow aborts, the

‘ only safe course to pursue is to re-

move her from the herd and give her

I: proper treatment.

Many dairy experts will say that it
is not necessary to remove cows that
have aborted from the herd, but I do
not understand how one is to produce
clean and sanitary milk in a stable
Where COWS that have‘ aborted are al-
lowed to stand. To be sure, the use of
disinfectants may prevent the disease
‘ from spreading and, perhaps, it is a
fact that abortion does not spread
from cow to cow, but the chances one
is taking are too great to justify care-
lessness im handling individual cases.

Crowding them together while going
through narrow openings, being chas-
ed and clubbed, turned out into icy
yards and standing on too short plat-
forms where the hind feet are in the
gutters are freduent causes of abor-
tion among dairy co‘ws. All of'these
causes may be kept down to a mini-
mum by turning a few coWs out into
the yards at a. time and giving them

more or less trouble‘vfth abortion, is“,

tained afterbirth andka calves that ,
lacked nasty and snowed no disposi-

tion to thrive. This traiible"has_been

minimized by feeding finely ground
bonemeal. Acting upon the belief that

a deficiency (of minerals might cause

abtfi'tfon and week calves we began

feeding this material along with on?

dairy rations and have had yery few

cases of abortion, and stronger calves

since we began‘_ the practice. Feeds

like the best gluten meal that have

had the proportion of their constitui

ents changed during the various proc-
esses of manufacture" must be supple-
mented by other feeds to restore these
elements removed by the manufactur-
er if they produce good results and
furnish sufficient mineral matter for
making milk and developing the un-
born calf. .

Many cdws are injured by spasmodic
feeding. By this I mean they are fed
heavy grain rations while milking and
the odds and endsrof roughage When
they are dry. It is the cow that is well
fed at all times thatstands-u‘p under
heavy milk production and produces a
sound vigorous calf each year. It is
the improperly fed cow that becomes
a victim of abortion and sterility, sim-
ply because she has not the power to
resist disease germs. ' "

Feeding mouldy fodder, frozen silage
and smutty corn has been known to
upset the cow’s digestion and many
outbreaks of abortion are ‘thought to
have originated from such causes.

Undoubtedly the most frequent cause
of abortion and sterility is the fact
that in our efforts to breed up and im-
prove the milk-giving organs we have
done so at the expense of the other or}
gans in close correlation with them.
When we have developed a large ud—
der with the capacity to produce a
large flow of milk, what have we done?

What is the organ in correlation with ‘

it? The reproductive organ, and here
is where we can call attention to the
fact that a large percentage of the
abortion and sterility that exists after
the cows have come up to five or six
years of age is due, largely to the fact
that they have been so bred and de-
veloped that their reproductive organs
are weak and dwarfed. This is the re;-
sult in many cases, and right here we
can account for a large percentage of
the abortion that exists; it is the re:
sult of' uterine weakness.

Contagious abortion is an incurable
disease. We, may, however, repress
the intensity of the infection in a. herd.
If we douche the uterus of the cow

that has recently aborted» or retained.

1y as possible the uterinecavity, she
will probably conceive when bred, and

' HE ANNOUNCEMENT of
Willys Light has special significance
for every American farmer.

Due to limitations Of central station
service, one Of the important blessings
long withheld from the farmer’s reach
was electric light and power. With the
perfecting of the individual light and
power plant this handicap to farm life
progress has been removed.

The Electric Auto—Lite Corporation
Sawvthe great possibilities of service to
1 the farmer in this invention and con—
centrated its resources, experience and
ability upon athoroughly dependable
electric light and power plant that
would completely meet the farmer’s
peculiar need.

The result is Willys Light!

‘It gives city comforts for country
homes. '

The World’s largest producers of
starting! and, lighting systems for motor

cars, the Electric Auto—Lite Corpora—
tion, in building Willys Light rigidly
adheres tO five basic principles that
must be' embodied in a plant worthy

, Of the farmer’s full confidence.

It must be simple. It must be
durable. It must be efficient. It must

‘ be eaSy Of operation and require little

care. It must be economical.

Willys—Light has the simplicity of
few parts, well made Of good material.
Significant Of its efficiency is its quietly
powerful Willys—Knight engine, famed
for its improvement with use. It
cranks, runs and stops itself. ' It secures
economy by burning kerosene—the
cheapest fuel. .

With its possibilities for- easing the
burden of farm life and making it more

. pleasant and profitable, we take distinct
, pride in offering the perfected Willys

Light as an important contribution to
the welfare and efficiency of the Ameri—
can Farmer.

HETHER the reader be a tractor owner—an experienced
operator—4 prospective purchaser—or a student in an agri-
cultural college or technical school, he will find this book a

valuable addition to his reference library.

In simple, direct language and by the aid of many illustrations. the
writer has explained In a clear and interesting manner the construction,
the function, and the operation of the various parts of the tractor and
the tractor engine, and how the highest efficiency can be obtained at
the least expense in fuel, lubrication, and wear and tear on the parts.

  
 

 
   
   
    

    
   
   
 
 
    
     

   

Even though the reader may have no knowledge whatever about tractors
or internal combustion engines, he can read this book from cover to
cover, understand every word of it, and gain for himselfamost compre-
hensive knowledge of the subject.

Yet the more experience he has had in the operation of a tractor the
more valuable and interesting will the book become.

such license, but one “of the important
conditions upon which licensees held
their licenses is that they will not en-

Furthermore all licensees are required

upon every contract, order, acceptance
of order, invoice, price list and quota-
tion issued or signed by them relating

one who is required to‘ obtain a license
and has not done so, such licensees
endanger their own licenses. In this
way members of the various trades af-

NEW FARM WEALTH

Opportunity beckons -—American farmers
will answer

NLY one half of America's
total farm area is improved
and bearing crops.

Our average yield of wheat per
acre is fourteen bushels. Germany
grows twenty-eight and England
thirty-two. I

It has been shown that we can
double the area of our cultivated
land and at the least quadruple our
agricultural production.

How is this to be done?

By the use of mechanical power.

The farmer turns naturally to
the farm tractor and the automobile
as two of his first aids in this de-
velopment. '

With the tractor he can plow
more deeply, thereby securing a
better seed bed His tractor plows
in torrid weather when horses
cannot work. It turns up soil that
would balk a herse.

But more. The tractor fills silos,
pumps, threshes and
does numerous other
odd jobs around the
farm.

With his auto-

 
 
 
 
  

mobile the farmer has made his trip
to town a matter of minutes instead
of hours. Comparative isolation has
gone out of his life. He lives today
in a community --- with nearby
friends and neighbors.
II 'IIE II
SCIENTIFIC LUBRICATION has
made possible much of the advance
in mechanical development." The
automobile and farm tractor pro-
duce their fullest power only when
lubricated with the correct oil.

For many years the Vacuum Oil

Company.- has produced both the
correct oils and Charts of Recomé
mend atton Which specify the correct
grade of Gargoyle Mobiloils for
every automobile and tractor.

Consult the Charts shown here.

experience, insures uniform heat throughout
the house with minimum consumption of
fuel. Will burn coal, coke, wood, lignite or
‘gas. Pays for itself through fuel-saving.

The opposum, the naturalists relate,

while a really, varied and numerous
family, are found in America alone.

The commonest member of the clan,
the American oppossum, it is called, is
possessed of a. pointed head; accentu-
ated, whensoever he may choose to op-
en his mouth,‘ by numerous sharp
teeth; a rough tongue; large ears and
small, naked eyes. The tail is long
and flexible, and prehensile; the toes
form other characteristics, being arm-
ed with sharp, strong, curved claws.
In size, the typical'America oppos-
sum is very nearly matter“ a cat; but
its form is more “low and squat;” the
color of the fur, too, is grayish-white,
while the face, near the snout, is a.
pure white, and the ears are black.

“In its habits,” one who knows him
best relates, “the opossum is mostly

nocturnal, and arboreal, or tree-dwell-
ing, beside. It feeds alike upon in-
sects, eggs, small birds and-fruits.

“To the farmer the animal is best,
or worst, known, for a habit it' has of
invading barnyards, destroying poultry,
largely for its blood. As a result, where
still abounding in the wild state, it is
much hunted now, and then it is that
it manifests the great dexterity for
which it has grown renoWned, the ani-
mal creeping away amid the grass, if
it can; if not, pretending to be dead.
“Detect its ruse and rouse it then,
and you will find it to defend itself by
biting severely.

“Otherwise, the ’possum is really
rather sluggish of movement, some-

from the brush of a tree by its tail.”

ground,” our informant tells us, “the
mother may be seen going about in
search 'of food. ,

“At this age these animals are quite
pretty. ‘ -

“They remain with the mother until
about two months old, when they are
able to take care of themselves though
remaining in the vicinity, seeming still
to be under. the maternal guardianship
in a certain degree. Often, in mean-
time, another breed is produced and,
in the season, a third, and some of all
these may be seen at one time and
the same with the parent. ,

“In winter, it the climate is cold,
the opossums become sluggish, but not'
torpid, like the woodchuck. They are
common in all the southern and south-
western states, ln the far west and
Mexico. They are also found in the
middle part of the. United States.

“There,” he concludes, “‘this is the
only animal of the kind, but in South
Americathere are several species.”

It is one thing to get good looking hosiery—1nd quite another
to get hosiery with long-wearing value. You get both when you
buy Durable-DURHAM. To know the true value of this hosiery
is to save on your stocking expense. Money is saved with fewer
new pairs to buy—and the trouble of daming is avoided.

Durable-DURHAM wears longer because it is made stronger.
The Durham dyes do not fade and the stockings keep a long
lasting good appearance. Best of all, it is reasonably priced. And
meets every stocking need. Styles for men and women include
all fashionable colors and come in all weights from the lightest
lisle to the thick. warm, fleecy lined hosiery for winter wear.

What if your face should grow into
the “shape of a blue jay’s. I was tell-
ing your father ‘only yesterday that
you’re getting to jerk about just like

a cat bird or a brown thrasher. Not
that you slight your work like some
whose names I could speak—for a. girl
no older than you are you do the
chores well. But it would be much bet-

ter for you to be reading some good

book than paying the heed that you do
to every bird that hops on the place.
Reading quiets the nerves. Living in
the dangerous times that we do it is
our duty to keep our nerves braveand
strong, Hannah.”

Once more the spotted cow moved
quickly, but the girl’s low words quiet-
ed her so that the welléfilled milk pail
was in no danger of being upset.

, “That’s just What I" was telling you,”
said Mrs. Dunbar. “I heard the owl
out there in the pines. And the min-
ute you began to pucker up your
mouth to answer it you forget that I
had called you here to quiet Bess. You
must take your mind off these birds!”

“But how could you see my mouth,
mother?” asked Hannah quietly. “The
streams of milk were racing into the
pail and not one drop hitting the rim
of it.”

“I don't need to stare at you all the
time to know what you are doing.
Cows are very sensitive. The minute

“But, mother, it might some time be,»
of great help to be able to perfectly ,
mimic one of them " urged Hannah,

more anxiously than she had intended.
“Fiddlesticke!” said Mrs. Dunbar, as
she finished “stripping” the spotted
cow.
“Ah, there is Goodman Drake com—
ing for me," she said, as she rose with
the milking ‘ stool in hei- hand. f‘l

promised to go and sit up with his lit- '

tie sick girl tonight. The supper ‘is,
nearly. ready- You can finish it for
yourfather and you. I will hurry right

away with the Goodman as soon as I"

have strained the milk.”

Had the mother glanced at Hannah
she would surely ‘hge thought that
she was striving
large owls. Her face grew pale; her’
lips moved restlessly; it seemed to

take all of her strength notto utter
some of the words which were swarm-
ing in her mind. But as soon as her
mother had gone within the log cabin
she sped to the side of her father as
he talked with Goodman Drake of his
deep. gratitude for the present peace-
ful times in the settlement. Quickly,
but firmly, she gave them a message
which made .their faces blanch at first,
and then glow with a strong hope. And
then Hannah began singing so merrily
that her mother shook her head reprov-
ingly as she rode away on the pillion
behind her neighbor. Whén from the
deep shadows of the pine the call of an
own was heard she sang still more
gleefully as her face was lifted thank-
fully as the first star was peeping out
of the twilight sky.

As soon as the darkness had fully
settled over the forest, four of the
sturdiest neighbors rode stealthily' to
the home of Hannah Dunbar. Guided
by her and her father they set two
large bear traps in the corner 'of the
yard, near where Mrs. Dunbar had
been milking the spotted cow. Then
they slightly loosened a b'oardin the
strong fence. Going to the west end
of the yard they there set two other
traps.

“Put one “just .tothe right of the
other,” whispered Hannah. “If they
hear the fall of the first savage, one of
his companionsmight try to see what
happened to him; he will move a little
to the left or the right—I think it will
be to the right” - -

The men nodded as it to the words
or a. idea man, and all of the work was

' done according to the girl’s plan.
“Two of you will stand by the places

Each of the neighbors grasped Han-

whispered brief words of admiration

(of her plans, as she and her father

hastened to their places of waiting.

the low call of an‘owl sounded to the
south of the log, cabin of the Dunbars,
each man felt a warning thrill of cour-

I was four and one-half years of age
when I first hobnobbed with the an-

on intimate terms—far too intimate,
occasionally or oftener—with the edu-
cational genius, the reigning queen
who presided over the schoolhouse,
and ruled, not with a rod of iron, but
with strap and rawhide. Alas, sun and
rain and frost alike failed to toughen
and tan all of us to a point where we
were indifferentio the activities of

Alas, she did not rule by love,
She ruled by rawhide power!

Her muscles were like iron bands—
They swelled and grew each hour!

How well I remember my first morn-
ing in school. “How old are you?” the
teacher inquired. “Four years and
half an hour,” I promptly replied. Ev-
en the stern teacher failed to reprove
the pupils when a wave of laughter
passed around the room—was she not
busy wiping her eyes just then?

Later in the day I suddenly remem-
bered an important item of news that
I wished to impart to my teacher im-
mediately. Awe had not yet come into
her 'own and fear had not begun to
have her inning; so up went my hand.
I“What is it?” said my teacher. I at
once imparted, in a loud voice, the
startling information that my father

owner robbed on a road about
six miles from Caro, at two
o’clock in the afternoon.

had proniised to let me plant some pep
corn after school. “Be quiet,” said
the teacher; “if you are not a good
boy your father will not let you plant
the corn.” ' Looking at her indignantly,
I said, “My father didn’t say anything
about my being a good boy!” Even to
this day I cannot but thinkl was the
winner in this first round. My teach-
er, however, soon had her inning- I
sat on the first seat, and although my
feet did not touch the floor I managed
to make so much disturbance ~ with
them that they soon received an intro-
duction to her {leather strap. ’ .

Every day, rain or 'shine, fog or sun,
good nature or ill nature, two ill-star-
red Irish lads were called up and strap-
ped vigorously. It had really become
a habit with the teacher, a ceremony
that she would not have omitted any
more than she would have omitted her
breakfast—it was a necessary form of

 

 

health exercise. In fact, she became
so hardened'that if she .had forgotten
to take her daily exercise it is highly

ed, and said, “Teacher, didn’t you for~
get something today?” But only my
first teacher ruled by severity alone.
Humaner methods followed, and for
one I registered no protests. .
The'first visiting committee whom
I remember was as sober as a setting
hen, and as harmless as.a lamb. He
always said the same things, in the
same place, in the same way. He would
finish his speech and then repeat his
words-possibly to convince us that
he had memorized them thoroughly.
He repeated his set' speech as I re-
peated my history lessons later on—
did I not memorize them, word for word
and then repeat them glibly, getting
perfect marks in history. Not much
opportunity for thought or for original
expression of ideas—it was memorize,
memorize, in those olden days. .
' The history lessons have“ vanished

glory ofa field of golden grain on the
slope back of thé‘ol'di'schooihouse as

or the slippery elm of the swamps and-
woods ever 'appeal to us in vain?

. I soon became so expert in arith-
metic that the teacher sought, my as-
sistance in solving some of her prob-
lems. Among the problems where She
needed—yes,— demanded—my ‘assist—
ance, were the problems of the huge
snake across the girls' doorstep—only-
a dead snake, mind you—and the prob-
lem ,of the mouse under her bell. She
even .insisted that ;. I remain after
school to assist her in solving these
problems; and yet she drew her wag-
es regularly while I did not receive a
cent for my valuable assistance.

I have a mental‘picture now of a
class, drawn up like soldiers on dress
parade, toeing a crack on the floor, and!
ready to recite the lesson. 0, no! not
ready to recite; I mean the teacher
was ready to have us recite.'

Well, life is a school and we keep
011 learning. My old grandfather often
said, “George, I learn something new
every day.”

“And day by day,,along the way, we

garner knowledge sweet,
And borrow from each traveler’s store
whom we shall chance to meet.”

THE CALL OF THE OWL.

 

(Continued from page 319).

“I gave the alarm call of the owl to
lure towards the forest any savages
who might be lurking outside," she
said. “I- knew well what path they
might take. I held one end of a long
rope and father was at the other end
of it. Somehow, some Indian tripped
on it. When once they were down we
followed the examples of you. good

' . neighbors.”

“But, Hannah, how did you know
Where the Indians would try to enter
the yard ?” cried Goodman Drake. “You
only told us that they would come in
just the way that they did. And we
were right willing to, do the bidding of
one like you.” ' ,
“When mother went out, to milk last
night I saw from the cabin that Bess
knew that Indians were near. She
never kicks the way she did then un-
less some of them are lurking about.
I saw their signs from behind some
logs. One hooting like an owl gave
me another hint of the signal they
would have when they came here to

surprise us, and then kill everybody~

that they could in our settlement.
When motherf called me out to quiet
Bess I was nearer to them and" so
‘made quite sure ' what their plans
were—” ‘ ‘

“But your mother told me how she
scolded you for mimicking the birds.”
said Goodman Drake. ‘

“Oh, but she is a good mother,”
criedXHannah, “I doubt not that, had
she-been in my place, she would have
planned this matter much better than

, I_ have done. But, mother has had" a
hard ‘summer, and she is net welli“Now

duplex grate so that you can change
from wood to coal or vice versa by sim-
ply turning a. crank. Will last a life-

enough nickel to trim it attractively.

stumbled and fell. A moment
passed in which the boy lay quite still,
one leg hanging between two sills, the
rest of his'body hunched painfully.
Suddenly,‘ “Oh, my leg, it’s broken!"
Warren wailed.
At that moment the sound of the
' whistle of the approaching train was
heard shrilling at the cement works

wyond the hill which rose beyond the

“I’ll get him out of it,” all at once
gdeclared one of the boys, breaking the
stupefaction of horror which had seiz-
' ed upon the children. The speaker
‘ leaped upon the bridge. With incredi-
' ble swiftness he skimmed over the
treacherous footing. The sinuous coils
of a rope, held in his right hand, lash-
.ed the air as the boy sped on.
' “You’ll be killed, too!” cried a little
girl to the boy dashing to the rescue.

claimed hysterically: ‘

HE Fair! What does it mean
to you? “Fair” is a very old
noun. With variations in spell-

ing, it exists in many languages.
"Fair” is a kin to the ancient “fes-

tus” and therefore cousin in some de-
gree of the more modern “feast” and
“festival” and the like.

Always and everywhere it has car-
. ried the away-from-work idea. It has
,always been pretty much what we
mean nowadays by “holiday,” though
not what that word meant originally.
“Holiday” was “holy day,” and sacred.
.“Fair” has always been secular—a
wholly human sort of thing.

Fair time is playtime. That it al‘
_ways was, that it always meant to
most people, that it always will be.
But for every play there must be play-
. ers, and two kinds of them, too—play-
“ ers who play playfully and players
w. who play laboriously, more or less, for
' the entertainment ofthe others.
What They Go For.
And “the fair” has a very different
" meaning for the two classes. The big

was an appalled spectatorof the scene
over his head. He dropped his fishing
and frantically began to row toward
the bridge.

Warren at that moment, having
made a number of ineffectual attempts.
to get his injured leg. from between
the ties, keeled over in a faint. His
head rested upon a rail. ,

. “Throw the boy down into the wa-
ter,” cried the man in the boat. “I’ll
pick him up.” .

A few more wild leaps and Lasso
Billy was by Warren’s side.‘

“To throw him down would kill
him,” he shouted to the man .who was

' rapidly guiding his boat to the point

where he would be nearly underneath
the injured Warren. “But I’ll get him
down to you just the same,” continued
Lasso Billy.

While he spoke, his hands worked
speedily and dexterously to fasten his
rope about Warren’s body under the
arms. He did not permit the sound of

,. the train, drawing nearer and nearer,

the occasional shrill screech of its
whistle, to shake his nerves. He made
no waste movements. With great dis-
patch the thing was done.

But was it down speedily enough?
For from around the curve, from over
the hill, a mere three hundred yards
away, came the scream of the engine
to warn of her approach.

ing of academies. And there has to be
somewhere a sort of teachers’ college
for these people. There are, in fact,
lots of normal schools for fair pro-
fessors, but the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture is. the graduate
college. And one of the queer things
is that any boy or girl still in the
grammar grades of the public school
may be doing post-graduate work in
getting things ready for the fair.
Much in Getting Ready.

Too many people, the Department
experts say, do not know how much

HE great war and the influenza
epidemic, two of the most ter-
‘ rible events in the history of
. our country, have taught us a number
of valuable lessons. One is that we
are not as healthy a nation as we
should be. One-third of our young men
were rejected for military service on
account of physical defects. Another
is that We are not well organized to
prevent disease or to care for our citi-
aens when they are sick. I wish to
bring to your attention one way in
,which the women of our country can
"help to solve these two problems.
Several years before the war, the

THE PIC TURE
By Lydia M. Thornton

Sometimes from some old chest of lets-forgotten things
A little picture of a childish face

Smiles up at us, and straigh
Back through the tangled

tway memory WlngS
space

Of years, and sets us picturing the jays
Of books and blocks and long-remembered toys,

The games we played, and
When one man-grown, was

evenings full of fun
then our little son.

We hold the picture ’till our eyes grow dim

With tears,

part joy and partly of regret,

We’re proud today, aye, very proud of him,
The work he's doing—doing well, and yet
Our days are long, we miss the play-time hour.

The laughter, and the face

so like a. flower

That smiled up from the pillow’s drift of white

To give us kiss for kiss, in

fond good night. ' -

Sometimes from some old chest of long-forgotten things
There comes a dream of our own vanished prime,

God’s very kind, and yet the finding brings
A longing for Life’s golden summer-time.

For little hands and laughing eyes of blue

The simple pleasures that the .old days knew;

The dreams, the visions, mingled hope and joy

The sweet, uncertain childhood of our boy.

Value of Red Cross Home

Classes

By Blame/z L. Parser, R. N., Heals Nam, ‘-

lllz'c/zzyan Agricultural College, Extension Diwlrim

Many of these women were sent over-
seas as nurses’ aids. Had the war con-
tinued, there would have been a de-
mand for many more. In the influenza
hospitals these women gave most val-
uable service. They could make a bed
for the sick, change the bed With the
patient in it, give a bed bath, take
temperatures, and were more alert to
take doctors' orders and knew the neo-
essity of carrying them out correctly.
Some knowledge of hygiene and of
prevention of disease inadethom more
self-reliant, and enabled them to keep
themselves and others from contract-
ing the disease.

When the Red Cross saw the good the a

service given by a inaJority of these
women, they decided in carry the work
of instruction to the women of the,
small and rural communities. In order
to quickly roach‘h! i ‘
women, the

 

cooperation of the Home ’Economics
Department of the Extension Division
of the Michigan Agricultural College.

The project met with a ready re-
sponse from the workers of that de-
partment. To this date, July 1. 19l9,
over forty groups or women have been
organized.

it is a task from which it is impassible ’
to divorce worry. It sounds very well,
to say tact and patience and sympathy. ’
will solve the problem, but in dealing?
with people whose physical and mont-~‘

a1 powers are waning, all the tact and
patience and sympathy in. the world
will not avail on occasions. Of course,

they are not normal but that fact does ,
not make them easier to deal with in _ ’

their whims. _ 4 _

In Our community lives a woman
who simply had to keep everything un-
der lock and key lest her aged father
would carry it away to give to chil-
dren or anyone he met, but people crit-
icized her severely fer not having pa-
tience enough to watch him without
going to such measures. 'Watch him!
Why, a Pinkerton detective could net
have kept track of that mild manner-
ed, bland old gentleman.

So if anyone wants to know who is
the real heroine in the community just
east about for the young, woman who
is a good wife, a good mother and a.
good relative to some cranky o'ld per.
son. Of- course, if the elderly relative
is normal and in possession of every
faculty things are different, but when
the “childish” period comes trouble is
sure to come with it. Blessings on the
woman who can sweetly and serenely
keep the peace and allow her children
enough freedom to make them happy
without making the elderly person'un-
happy. It takes more real couragoand
grace and strength to run such a home
successfully than it does to be Presi-
dent of the United States. There are

rich rewards in store for every woman .

who bravely does her best in the face
of difficulties, but I think the brighter“:
stars will be saved for, her‘ who suc-
cessfully holds three hard jobs down

' Home Queries

Household Editor .-—Please answer
the following queSt‘ions in the Michi-

fruits and vegetables it will be furnish
ed you free of cost. Fine dill pickles
are made as foIIo'ws: Wash cucum-
bers of medium and uniform size and
soak in ice cold water several hours.
Then rinsie off and pack in fruit jars,
placing a layer 01? (Till, cut up finely,
using leaVes, stalks and seeds in the
bottom of the jar, about the middle
and on top. Then Cover with a scald-
ing‘ brine made of one quart of vine-

' gar, three quarts of Water and one cup
of salt. Seal tightly. The cans, of
course, must be sterilized and hot
when the vinegar is poured in.

Mrs. G. S.--—Pare off the green outer

seeds. Cut in pieces suitable for serv-
i113, cover with cold water and add one
tablespoon of salt for each cup of wa-
ter. Let stand over night, drain, rinse,
boil in water until transparent, and
drain. For each pound of fruit make
a syrup of three- fourths of a pound of
sugar and a half-cup of water. Skim
the syrup thoroughly, add melon and
cook for about a half hour. Skim out
the fruit and pack in sterilizedcans,
boil syrup down until- thick and pour
over fruit, sealing at once. Lemons
are not necessary except to add to the
good flavor. If you use them allow’
one lemon sliced for each pound of
Citron.

I have a lot of one- pound syrup cans
with covers to fit, could I use them to
can peas and corn? Also I planted
some of last year’s carrots for seed.
They are all in blossom and some of
the blossoms are closing up again.
How can I tell when to gather the
seeds?——M~r& W. E. S.

We do not believe you would be safe
in using the cans you mention. When
the carrot seeds are ripe enough so
thatthe little husks rub off in the
hands, the seed will be ready to gath-
er. ,The best developed seeds are on
the main stalk of the plant. ‘

A MOVE to inaugurate a National

associations sponsored the move. These
representatives came from eight states
in response to a call issued by the ed-
ucational Department of the Farmers’
Cooperative Grain Dealers' Associa:
tions of the Middle West. They agreed
to select an organizing committee of
fifteen men who will perfect plans to
be submitted at a later and larger
meeting. ‘
Earl J. Trosper was electedorgan-
izing secretary of the group, and will
be actively engaged in pressing the
matter between now and the holding
of the larger meeting. L. E. Willeft,
of Laingsburg, represented the two

LiveStockConhditionis Uneven

HEagitation against high cost of
living is having its effect on the
live stock markets of the coun-
try. The main idea at the present
time ’is to cut prices everywherepos-
sible. Interests have aimed their blows
at all commodities. The live stock
markets naturally came in line for
some readjustment and prices declined
quite severely in a majority of cases.

The latest move of the government
to lower the living cost is the estab-
lishment of retail stores to undersell
other interests. If this is done, other
interests will be forced to buy their
product at a lowerlevel to make com-
petition possible. With such talk in
the air along with so many unsettled
conditions there is no wonder that pric-
es took the recent sharp decline.

Unsettled labor conditions with sev-
eral large strikes threatened to take
place most any day do no good to the
business. The east is eXpecting alarge
strike of iron and steel workers which
naturally would cut the consumption of, »
meats. The demand at western mar-p $98111}ng StOCk’ ”akin“ such oner-

to the end of their feed supply and are
cashing regardless of conditions. They
do not care to give additional feed
which is resulting in the liberal supply
of thin and half-fat cattle.

Many feeders fear that prices are
destined to a lower level and are cash‘
jng on that account. With prices of
grain relatively high they are taking
this opportunity to cash at the present -
prices. -

But regardless of the situation as it
relates to the future of the. beef cattle '
market a" fair demand for stockers and
feeders has featured the market dur-
ing late weeks. The western ranges
have carried a 'lot of cattle suitable

sively smutty sample that produces in

untreated states forty to, sixty per cent »

Smut, to one per cent, and it will take
a clean sample and keep it clean.
Some farmers who used‘ it with smutty
seed still have a little smut, and in
this way they are upset on the matter
of stinking smut control.

The ordinary sample of wheat may
carry considerable smut and yet ap-
pear fairly clean. It is hard for a
farmer to. decide the degree of cleanli-
ness that his seed wheat possesses.
Again many farmers are not critical of
their seed wheat. It may have smut
balls in it and yet the: farmer expects
the sprinkling or dry treatment to con-
trol smut. Thehe treatments will con-
trol well if the weather helps, or they
may control peorly if the weather is
favorable for smut.

“In order to help farmers decide the

,degree of smuttiness of their wheat

and what methods are best for use
with a particular lot, the Department
of Botany of the College is offering
this year to analyze small samples and
report on the comparative cleanness
of the wheat. In this work a small
sample is washed and the washings
centrifuged. By microscopic examina-
tion at the sediment it is possible to
decide whether the grain is clean or
smutty. The number of smut spores
in the sample is an index of‘ how much
smut- there is to be expected in the
crop.

The service is free and advice is giv-
en as to the method of treatment that
is advised.

Every farmer should plan to treat
his seed wheat. It is easy enough to
send to the college a half pint to a pint
sample and secure a statement as to
the cleanness of the lot.

Some inquiry comes concerning the
value of blue vitriol for seed treat-
ment. This is the old method which
used to be employed before formalde-
hyde was discovered. It is successful
in smut control, but has a. serious. ef-
fect-on germination. For this reason
and because it is a slow treatment it
has not been recomm‘endedfor use in
the state.

The story of stinking smut is the
story of‘the attack by a thief and in
the control the farmer seeks to kill
the spores of the robber smut which
the seed wheat may carry. If the
spores are'killed, then the trouble is
prevented. The treatments are plan-
ned either for smutty seed or for clean
seed, i. e., to clean up a bad lot of
seed, or to keep a clean lot clean. The
farmer must know into which class his
grain falls. He must know in addi-
tion that formaldehyde is a “strong
medicine,” and that he can easily in-
jure his grain if he disobeys the com-
paratively simple directions.

state during the month of Aug-
ust, under the direction of the Bureau
of Food Production.
held at Utica early in August, was at-
tended by 17, 000 persons. The second
which was held on a farm near, Hol-
comb. Ontario 00., August 13-14 was
the largest and' most successful tractor
demonstration ever held in the state,
or in any other eastern state. Upwards
of 20,000 persons were in attendance.
Two thousand automobiles were park-
ed on the farm and along the roadside
during the afternoon of the first day.

Twelve different makes of tractors
participated in the contest. Among
these were several two-plow machines
and three or fOur of the larger trac-
tors pulling three plows.

The first day’s plowing was done in
a large field of wheat and barley stub-
ble, with long furrows. The ground
was dry and, in excellent condition to
test out the‘capabilities of the trac-
tors. The contest was one rather of
speed than of quality of work, as un-
der the same conditions all did good
work. The plowihg test was supple-
mented with a fuel test in which all
fuel was withdrawn from the tractors
and a certain amount put in, which
was again measured when the work
was completed. A discing and harrow-
ing test was held after the plowing
was completed. The tractors plowed
and fitted for seeding about seventy
acres.

A feature of the second day’s work
was the plowing of an old alfalfa field.
The surface was hilly and in some
places rather steep, although not high.
Some of the tractor men objected to
going into the field, but after a discus:
sion 'at headquarters all but four
went in. They all found the plowing
difficult, but did their work well. The

most exacting plowman, but it strain—
ed the smaller machines somewhat to
pull their tWo. plows through the net-
work of alfalfa roots.

During the demonstration there was
a contest between the tractors and a
three-horse team. It was an‘ordinary
farm team, not fat but. sinewy, and
fast walkers. The horses, drawing a
single plow,’ were given half as much
ground‘ as thosetractors drawing two
bottoms and a third as much as' the
tractors- drawing "three plows. They
won the contest by finishing their plot
before any of the tractors completed

‘ their task.

The work of each tractor was care-
fully checked up by inspectors, and
the results will be published in a bul-
letin by the State Department of Farms
and Markets, making a volume of uSe-

tor buyers.

of which, he said, was the high cost of
industrial labor which reacts upon
farm labor. & The farmer is pinched to-
day because of a scarcity of farm 1a-
bor. The high cost of machinery is
another factor in causing high living
costs. He believed that prOfiteering is
much exaggerated in the newspapers;
that the President and congress will
not be able by legislation to reduce the
cost of living to the standard before
the war. Thousands of men are doing
business on an honorable basis. The
farmer must stand for his rights, but

. must not believe that his neighbors

in other lines of production or industry
are dishonest. ‘ 7

Dr. Jordan regretted that there is
not a farmers’ organization in the state
which represents all the varied inter-
ests of all the farmers, and he declar-
ed that farm organizations must get’
together.

Prof. Riley made some practical re-
marks on the uses of the tractor and
gas engine on the farms, and answer-
ed questions in regard to tractor oper-
ation. He emphasized the use of small

gasoline engines to improve living con- ‘

ditions in the country homes, Operat-
ing the washing machine, pumping wa-
ter, charging the batteries for home
electric lighting systems and the like.

President Dana referred to the or-
ganization of’the Department of Farms
and Markets and its relation to the ag-
riculture of the state, saying its pur-
pose was to keep the problems of farm~

ing and marketing outside the realm ‘

of party politics.

These meetings are rapidly increas-
ing the popularity of~ the tractor in
New York state. One, firm sold twen-
ty-three tractors the first day of the
Holcomb demonstration. The. demon-
strations are followed by many tractor
sales in the territory in which they are
held.

There has been great improvement
in tractors made for eastern farming
conditions, during the past five years,
and still greater improvement is no-

ticeable in the plows and other imple- ~

ments used with the tractors.

spring. It will be observed that chicks
eat very little grass or green food of
any kind after it becomes dry and
tough. A slatted frame, which chicks
can enter, can be moved from plaCe to
place on the range and the mash and
scratch feed scattered within it for the
chicks. This keeps them from being
trampled ‘upon'at feeding time. Move
the frame frequently so that the chicks

the poultryman a chanCe to divide his

sible among the growing birds. They
like a mash of that kind and we be-
lieve that it helps to make them grow

enough for the pig, not when the crate
is made, but allowing for growth be-

not be big enough to permit the pig
to turn around. The boy must remem-
ber that the pig should not be fed just
before shipping. No matter how much
the little rascal cries for corn, he must
not be indulged. If he is fed, he is
very likely to get sick on the train
and go through the whole fair in a

Q Prizes Are Not All.

These are just a few of the things
that must be remembered in'preparing
a pig for the fair. And there are
equally as many With regard to the
calf, or the dairy cow, or the poultry,
or any of the things, practically, that
the boy or girl, man or woman, wants
to exhibit at the fair.

Even with all the care possible, the
animal or other product may not be a
prize winner. There can’t be prizes
for every exhibitor. The fair that tries
to arrange things so that everybody
can get a prize does not amount to
much, usually. It does not mean any-
thing to win a prize when you are the
only' exhibitor in your class. The prize
is not the main thing, after all. To
be sure the boys and girls and men
and women who get things ready for
the fair are contributing to an educa-
tion for the public—but the main thing
tor them is the education they get tor ‘

themselves. - . Q

' ' some problems that never'bo‘
the man who uses horse-drawn
It is necessary to lay out

ing can be done over the entire area
with the minimum use of a horse-
drawn plow in starting and finishing
the work. The methods in general use
are divided into two classes—those in
which the plows are left in the ground
continuously. In most cases better
plowing can be done when the plows
are idle across the. ends of the field,
and for this reason the methods‘of this
class are more popular, but many farm-
ers prefer the other methods, as they
eliminate waste of time and labor.
Plowmen using tractors wish to re-
duce to a minimum the time spent in

. running and in turning with plows out
» of the ground. While it is necessary

 

to do some traveling while the plows
are idle, care should be taken not to
do too much ofit, as it reduces the
number of acres which can be plowed
in a day, making the tractor that much
less efficient. Short,turn_s, however,
are awkward for most tractors, and
where such turns are necessary the
operator often has more or less diffi-
culty in getting the outfit in the cor-
rect position for starting into the new
furrow at the right point. Some trac-
tors turn more easily in one direction
than others, and this should be, taken
into consideration in laying out the
fields.
Advantages Summarized.

The advantages of plowing by the
methods in which the plows'are idle
across the ends of the field are that
the short, awkward turns are elimi-
nated, except in some cases at the be-
ginnings and ends of the lands, and
usually less space will be left at the
corners to be plowed with horses. The
advantages of the other methods are
that little or no time is lost in travel-
ing with the plows out of the ground,
and that ordinarily the number of dead

siderably less.

In using the first-named methods it
is necessary to measure the lands in
the center of the field accurately, leav-
ing an equal area. on all sides of the
field in which to thrn the outfit. and

" which can be plowed last by running
' the tractor completely around the field

Careful Plering Saves Time. ‘3‘”:‘7'

If the. field is to be finished up in the
best manner, With no irregular unplow-
ed strips between the land or at the
edges, it is essential that care be tak-
en to have the headland of the slime-
w1dth clear around the field, to have
the distances mea’sured exactly when
starting new lands, and to have the
first furrows as nearly straight as pos-
sible. A little __ extra time . taken in
measuring 011’ the necessary distances
and setting plenty of stakes for guid-
ance will nearly always be more than
returned in saving time at the finish.
It the tractor pulls three or more
fplows, cutting a total 'width of three
or more feet, some effort should 'be

made to have the width of the head-
lands an exact multiple of the total
width of the plow, so that the last
strip across the field will exactly cut
out the land or finish it to the fence.
This will do away with the necessity
of making a trip across the field, prob-
ably over the plowed ground, to turn
a. narrow strip which has been left un-
plowed

When methods are used in which
the plow is left in the ground continu-
ously the outfit is started in the cen-
ter of the field. For the first three or
four rounds the plows are lifted at the
ends of the furrows, and then they are
left in the ground when the turns are
made. The outfit is then run around
the field until the entire area has been
plowed, audit the field has been meas-
ured correctly before the tractor start-
ed, the last round will plow the land‘
next to the fence on‘ all sides. ‘

It is always advisable to inoculate
the seed of any legume that has not

Some practical farmers go so far as to
state that it will even pay to inoculate
the seed, even if they have been euc-
cessfully grown. Fer instance, all of

titan was less strong than was the case
with some of the older breeds some

class animals were led into the
ring. and the breed as a whale attract-
all equal attention with those repre-
sented by a larger number of entries.

The display of Aberdeen Angus was
satisfactory both in quality and num-
bers from a Michigan standpoint.
When two such herds as those of Wild-
wood and Woodcote get together there
is sure to be an exhibition worthy of
any state fair in the country. In ad-
dition to these great herds those of
Marshall Kelly and G. R. Martin & Son
added considerably to the task of the

ing of bee the fact that'th‘ey are overlooking their; '

ed in the choice of a breed. All of
the breeders present reported an ac‘
tive demand for breeding stock from
Michigan farmers. There can be no
doubt that the Angus breed is destined
to play a more prominent part in the
agriculture of Michigan, especially if
labor cenditiOns become more acute.
Our farmers can thank their lucky
stars that when they decide to switch
over from dairying to breeding and
feeding beef cattle that they can find
the right kind of seed stock to make
the change without going outside of
the. state.

Two well- fitted Michigan herds of
Red Polls battled for honors. W. W.
Kennedy and Herbison Brothers both
made creditable showings that did
much to impress many farmers of the

desirable qualities of the breed. The

quality of the display-was fully up to
par. Thick, deep, smooth and typical
animals that indicated both beef: and
dairy qualifies represented both of
these herds. From the herd sires down
to the six months’ old calves the ani-
mals presented the smoothness and
uniformity so characteristic of well-
bred Red Polls.

One lone herd bore aloft the‘banner

of the shaggy-coated Galloways. "A
number of good individuals presented
in good bloom appeared in~the ring.
. Two herds of Devons'were forced to
occupy spacein the old poultry build-
ing. Both the Thayer herd of Penn-
sylvania and the Neal herd of New
Hampshire, the breed’s stamping
ground, appeared in excellent condi-
tion. The Neal herd is one of the old-
est in the United States, its breeding
and show rin history dating back to
1884. Onwar . the head of the Neal
tending
strongly toward the dairy side of the
dual-purpose argument. The grand
champion cow, Blanch 1‘5th, from the
same herd is a roomy individual‘with
a good udder development. '

In'the dairy. barns Holstein-Friesian
partisans had such herds as those
from the Pontiac State Hospital, E.
Loroy Pelletier, John A. Blake and
Corey J. Spencer to enthuse over. A
few oustanding animals were present,
and a higher average was maintained
than has been the casein recent years.
Most of the animals were carefully fit-

‘ ted and exhibited more evidence of
capable handling than has been the

case the .past few years.

The Guernsey exhibit, while not
large. charred plenty of quality and

expected. Burt Shuart and Brennan,
Fitzgerald & Sinks competed for the
Michigan honors with a herd from New
Jersey. It is to be regretted that some
of the Michigan breeders are allowing-
their breed to fall off in quality and
numbers at the State Fair. If the Jer-
sey 'cow is to cempete - successfully
with the other breeds for supremacy.
on Michigan farms the men who have -
the really good specimens of the breed

criticize the quality of the Jersey ex-. "

of the Jersey breeders of the state to

tice at the fair. The Ayrshire Breed-
ers’ Association as well as some of the‘l
Michigan Ayrshire breeders can ill af-
ford to allow such exhibits of Ayrshire'
cattle to represent this grand breed at' ll
the big State Fair. One good show
herd of! beautful, flashy animals pre-
sented in full bloom would do more to
popularize this handsome and useful
breed in Michigan than ten thousandi
dollars spent in magazine and newspa-
per publicity.» It is high time that the
Ayrshire Breeders’ Association made
an effort to show the people of Michi-
gan what a really good Ayrshire ex-
hibit looks like.

' The Brown Swiss exhibit brought
out the best in the United tSates. The
herd of Hull Brothers, of Ohio, and'
that of Marshall, ' of Michigan, did
much to impress visitors of the merits
of this great breed of dairy cattle.
There is always something doing when
these masters of the show ring get to-
gether, wheather at a county fair or at
the National Dairy Show. The ani-
mals presented were of good quality

1 \

 

 

and in full bloom. Such exhibits at the,
State Fair have done more to popular—
ize the breed than any one thing, un—
less it is the excellent records made
by some of the Brown Swiss cows in
the M. A. C. herd at East Lansing. Al
together the Brown Swiss exhibit,
would have done credit to a National
Dairy Show, and the two firms are to
be congratulated upon the excellence
of their show herds. I

The sheep exhibit was above the'
standard of former year's, many excel—
lent flocks of fine wools from Ohio and
Michigan adding great interest to the
exhibits. The present price of wool is
creating more interest in the fine
wools, although there was no lack of
interest in the animals of the large!“
mutton breeds at the show. As ,a
whole, the sheep exhibits did credit to"
the state and to Michigan breeders.

The swine barns were well-filled
with good exhibits from Ohio and
Michigan. While the animals were
good, considering the present prices of'
grain feeds, we confidently look for
great improvement in next year’s ex-
hibits. Michigan is going to have more

com this year, and there is no use in ,

attempting to put on a high-class swine‘

show in a state where the breeders are '

carrying Only a minimum number of

The» aim of our farmers is to produce

aWake farmer can see the folly of rob.

bing his land.

We hare learned from our associa-
tion with the farmers of this country
that there are very few at them who
run their terms on a business basis.
Every tarmer should know just what
it costs him to raise everything that
he produces. He should know what
every bushel or grain costs him, what
every ton of hay costs him and every
head of live stock that he raises. This
can he done very handily by keeping a
record. Such a record is worth much
to any farmer and it is necessary for
some farmers if they would be suc-
cessful as we know that there are
many farmers that are producing some
of their products at a loss and do not
know it, and this is the only method
by which they can determine this fact.
We know that there are some farmers
who are making good profits on some
things that they produce and losing it
on some other things. The farmer with
a system of farm accounting for his
farm operatious will soon see where
the leak is taking place and then he
will be in aposition to remedy this
defect.

The progressive farmer is going to
find out just how his farm is paying
him. Thus he can discontinue any-
thing that is not profitable for him.

Two men on the same kind of soil and

in the same season will obtain very

different results in the same year. This

secduo EDITION.

I " The markets in this edition were re-
:‘ ,vised and corrected on Thursday af-
- ternoon, September 11.

WHEAT:

The total wheat crop of the United
States as estimated by the federal gov-
ernment in the September crop report
will be 923,000,000 bushels, whichis
over 300,000,000 bushels below the crop
forecast of June 1. There appears to
be a better demand for wheat, espe-
cially from eastern points, and as a.
result, shippers are enjoying some im-
provement in their business. The U.
S. visible supply shows an increase of
6,481,000 bushels the past week. One
year ago No. 2 red wheat was quoted
on the local market at $2.19 a. bushel.
Present Detroit prices are:

No.1 red ..............$2.26
No.1 mixed ............ 2.24
No. 1 white 2.24
No. 2 red 2.23
No.3red ....... 2.19

CORN.

Corn values have been gradually de-
clining with support weakened consid-
erably by the announcement. from
Washington that the estimated yield
On September 1 was placed at 70,009,-
000 bushels more than was predicted
August 1. As a result of this showing,
holders of corn were anxious to reduce
their stores, which led to further weak-
ening of values. The visible supply
increased 377,000 bushels last week.
One year ago No. 3 corn was quoted
on the local market at $1.60 per bush-
el. In Chicago No. 2 mixed corn is
quoted at $1.63@1.63%; No. 2 yellow
at $1.64@1.65; September $1. 59%; De-
cember $1.28. Detroit prices are:

OATS.

An estimate of a larger yield of oats
than was counted upon was the big
factor in developing weakness in the
oat market in the trading early this
week. The U. S. visible supply shows

an increase of 1,158,000 bushels. A '

year ago standard oats were quoted on
this market at 7114c per bushel. The
present quotations at Detroit are:
No.2 white ......... 75
No. 3 white ..... .731,é@74

A general improvement in the de-
mand for rye is noted and prices have
advanced as a result. At Detroit cash
No. 2 is now quoted at $1.43 a bushel.

BARLEY.

This grain has recovered the recent
decline in quotations and is now re-
ported at $2. 40@2. 50 per cwt. for cash
No. 3 on the Detroit market.

BEANS.

The bean market is very dull. There
is practically no speculative buying
and the domestic consumptive demand
is slack. Nothing is reported‘on ac-
tual or prospective export trading. It
is reported that Michigan dealers are
offering new pea beans for Septem-
ber shipment at $8.75 f. o. b. In New
York the crop is being damaged by
diseases in the principal bean growing
counties, and by dry weather and
grasshoppers in some of the southern
districts. The lima bean yield in Cal-
ifornia is disappointing, while drouth
in Colorado has been too severe for
‘dry beans. The outlook in Michigan
. is generally good, especially in the cen-
tral part of the state and the Thumb

' . district. Quotations at Detroit have

‘ declined to $7.75 per cwt. for immedi-
‘ ate and prompt shipment.

FEEDS.

Adecline is noted in corn mixed
reeds, with other kinds steady. Quo-
_ tations are: Bran $47; standard mid-

BUTTER.

Butter trading shows uneven chang-
es over the country. At Detroit prices

_ 1 _ CHEESE

The . roduction' of cheese in the
United tes, while declining, is some-

what heavier than at this time a year
ago., In Canada,- however, the shrink-
age in production is now quite rapid.
The present market is firm, especially
for better grades. Purchases were re-
oently made in Wisconsin on export
account. British houses are taking con-

siderable cheese from Canada, and-

many good- sized orders are going to
EurOpe. At Detroit Michigan flats are

.quoted at 31@31%c, and do single dais-

ies at. 320. In New York whole milk
twins are quoted at 29%@31%c, and
in Philadelphia the market is firm with
full milks at 3161231550.

EGGS.

There has been same accumulation
of eggs in New York the past week.
This has resulted in an irregular mar-
ket at that point, where nearby west-
ern stock is quoted at 60@75c. In
Philadelphia the trade is steady with
western extra firsts jobbing at $16.20
per case. At Detroit the market is

- quoted at 47@48c for fresh deliveries.

DETROIT CITY MARKET

There is only a moderate supply of
Michigan potatoes coming to the city
markets. They are selling at $2. 25@

quite plentiful at $2 50@3. 25 for good

W001.

W001 dealers are looking forward to

an improvement in the market. Gen-
er‘ally speaking, the masses are bold-
ing firm, although a slight weakening
in prices is reported for fleece grades.
The best fine, unwashed delaine affor-
ings are now quoted at. 83@84c against
85c the top price two Weeks ago. Half-
bloods have also declined from 82c to
81c. The trade is watching closely the
dispute over the control of Australian
wools. There is a plan on foot for ex~
tending the existing government pur-
chase plan for five years beyOnd June
30, “920. Many interested parties are
objecting strongly to this plan and the

out'come is awaited with interest by -

the wool tradesmen everywhere. Old
line dealers-are also attempting to dis-
count activities of cooperative wool
handling associations.

GRAND RAPIDS

The first of the new‘crop of Michi-
gan whiten beans were marketed last
week, growers being paid $7 per cwt.
Indications are a light yield of early
planted, one farmer reporting two and
a half bushels from an acre. ,Late
planted indicate a fair yield. In this
section of the state with less acreage
and poor yield the crop will be the
smallest yield the crop will be the

ty farm bureau last week received re- _

ports of the crop of Red Rock wheat.
The largest yield per acre was 44 bush-
els. grown in Walker township'and the
lightest 38% bushels grown in Sparta
township. Average weight was 62 lbs.
per bushel. The grape crop is being
shipped in carlots and the price is $45
@60 per ton, according to the variety.
Potatoes were lower last week at $1.75
per bushel for graded and $1.50 field
run. Reports on the late crop in some
sections is not promising, owing to the
dry weather. The vines look thrifty
but there are few in a hill. The long
dry spell has affected the peach crop
and they are not holding up well for
shipment. The growers receive $3.50
@425 per bushel, according to variety,
the outside price being for Barnard. .

new v‘oakmnooucr' MARKET.

September 6. 1919.
Butter. —The butte. market has been
firm and fairly regular, except for an
upward price tendency, throughout the
week. Receipts were about 19,000

 

.more packages than fer last yeek. The

main feature at the present is the scar-
city of high quality butter and the pre-
ponderance ofi under-grades. Always
when such conditions as those of the
present time exist there is no demand
for under-grades and in consequence
the price remains relatively low. High
quality butter has been’clearing imme-
diately upon arrival until yesterday,
when it lagged somewhat. As the re-
result the price a. quarter of a cent. It
is expected. that the setback will be
temporary and thee. the price will con-

tinue upward for some time to come.
Trading is confined pricinpally to local

buyers. as there is no expert or other

outside demand. It is generally expeet- .

ed that export demon will be me

from now on because of\ the prevailing
high pricesand because of the prohib-
itive rate of exchange on most foreign
money. The price of high quality but-

ter has advanced One cent during the_ V

week and quotations at the close on
Friday were as -follows: Extras 580;
higher scoring than extras 53 @520;

The sacrificing of. lambs in a whole-
sale manner means the liquidation o! '
a lot of thin lambs. This gives the
corn belt feeders a chance to secure a
good grade of stock tor posturing and
rough feed purposes. Liberal receipts.
of sheep at all markets have been that
result of the wholesale liquidation and
ran'ge'mners claim that large arrivals
will continue for some time to come.

' Arrivals of western cattle at the
markets are showing. the results oi the
feed shortage. Traders claim the qual-
ity is poorest in years. The cattle
have the frames but are very thin.
Killers have refrained as much as pos-'
sible from taking such grades and cat-
tle feeders have been able to secure
this class without much competition.

l’

Cattle are moving to market in much

larger numbers than usual, the num~
ber shipped for the season to date be-
ing among the largest ever known.

 

CATTLE QUALITY POO-R.

 

THERE has been a scarcity of fin— V

ished steers at the markets dur-
ing recent weeks. It is the result of
feed conservation duiing the summer
months and the program of the feed-
ers to produce their cattle at a cost as ‘
possible. Supplies of late have car-E
rled a lot of thin and half fat steers.
In. some instances it. is stock which
feeders purchased to carry through the
tall but when the market broke so
sharply resentli‘y they decided to cash
before additional declines were put in
force.

Prime finished steers, as a. result,
are selling relatively higher than the
general run of offerings. Killers have
been well supplied. with poor quality
offerings from the western range ar-
rivals which has caused an indifferent.
A wider spread
in the price range has resulted on this
account. In. the future prime grades
are expected to be scarce and traders
say that they will sell relatively high
and their prices will be no criterion of
the general market. W. W. F.
