N the good old days when the great



problem in farming was. to fight



back the forest to make room for

crops and stock to provide food for

his family the question of middlemen

and the farmer’s fiftY-cent dollar were

unknown. Every prudent farmer rais-

edwwheat, Indian corn, rye, vegetables

and fruit, and kept cows, pigs and

poultry.- His first object in farming

was to make a living; he shot directly

at the inark. .



This particular epoch in the farming

industry, however; was a short one.

Differentiation accompanies develop-

ment. The opening up of new terri-

tory, transportation facilities and com-

mercial industries made possible the

growth of extensive specialized farm-

ing. With many the production of cer-

tain‘products amounted to an obses-

sion. Instead of having an abundant

supply of the material good things of

life in his garden, pantry and cellar,

the farmer- drifted so far frdm old-

t-ime simplicity that he depended up-

on the grocery store and the .meat shop

for the food for his family.



The new, way seemed a good one.

The. problem of farming was settled

—~at least it seemed so for the time

being. But no problem in agriculture

is ever settled in a new country. Men

had hardly begun'to realize. the possi-

bilities of Specialized farming before

the cdst of operating their farms and

the cost of living began to rise. To-

day it is safe to predict that we shall'

never See cheap foodstuffs again. With

farm products at comparatively low

prices’ at the farm and the cost of pro-

ductionand the cost of living steadily

advancing, it takes a blissful ignor~

ance of figures to‘discover much of a

margin to cover risks and pay divi-

dends.



Simultaneously with the rise in the

cost of production and the cost of liv-

ing men suddenly awakened to the

fact that other things had been hap-

pening to the farming business as a

result of extensive specialization. The

dealers and middlemen gained control

of food supplies so that in every step

the farmer ”must pay heavy tolls in

commissions and middlemen’s profits.

He, takes a minimum profit on 'what

he sells; he pays a maximum profit on

what he buys. The farmer’s fifty-cent

dollar became a problem to conjure

with. The speculators, dealers and

transportation companies had full con-

trol of the markets before men realiz-

ed that the" new way—the (specialized

way, if you please—had not quite solv-





' ed the, promem of profitable fanning.





 





The farmer must make a living before

there can be a profit.



The farmer is the original fifty-fifty

man. He sells- his products for fifty

cents and buys them back for a dol‘

lar. If you doubt my statement, just

consider a moment—figure outrwhere

all of the money comes from to pay

freight from the farm to the mill,

store or packing-house; to pay the

vast army of workmen employed in

the mills, stores and packing-houses;

to buy the handsome automobiles and

other odds and ends that are usually

associated with vast industries that





ing that practically eliminates depend-

ence upon dealers and middlemen. It

leaves the proceeds from the farmer’s

pockets and changes the business from

an extremely speculative one to an un-

dertaking of assured success.



In the light of present day .knowl-

edge about the care of stock and the

cultivation of grain, vegetables and

fruit there should be little sympathy

for the man who claims that he can-

not produce food for his family as

cheap as he can buy it. It is quite

true that the average farm garden is

a failure, and that few farmers make

control the supply of foodstuffs. The

answer is obvious to’ all—the farmer.

This truth is so apparent that there

should be no need to urge him to pro-

duce as much food for his family as

possible and avoid paying extravagant

prices. The new way of specialized

farming must yield to a newer way.

Something must be done to reduce the

high cost of living—something, too,

that will make him independent of the

speculators and middlemen. Plainly,

then, sound sense and business econ-

omy dictate that the farmer'should

make his land and labor yield the

largest possible part of the food for

his family. It is simply the adoption

of old methods to modern conditions.



How will it pay the farmer to de-

vote his land and labor to the produc-

tion of foodkfor his family? The great-

e'r‘ growth of food for the family will

do much to decrease the cost of living

and make possible" a system of farm-





money with cows, pigs and poultry,

but that simply proves that they are

not collecting from their farms what

is their just dues, provided they have

given their stock good care and sown

and cultivated wisely.



The man who decides to grow the

food for his family should not abandon

his regular farm operations. He should

however, plan to raise an acreage suf-

ficient to yield his year’s food supply

and, so far as possible, be independent

of fluctuating markets. Cutting down

the cost of staple necessities is the

first step toward efficient farm man-

agement.



Every farmer should grow fruit for

home use. Beginning with the apple,

one can easily select a few trees of

plum, pear, cherry and quince varie-

ties that are adapted to his soil and

climate. .No matter where you are

located, there is probably a, great va-

riety of fruits which your can grow.





The average farmer cannot afford to

waste his time on oddities and fancy

fruits; he should cling to standard

sorts that thrive best in orchards in

his community. If in doubt about the

varieties, do not listen to the advice

of tree peddlers, but write to your

nearby experiment station for a list

of suitable varieties.



Grapes, currants, raspberries and

strawberries should have a place in

the farmer‘s fruit garden. As an all-

around fruit the grape ranks next to

the apple. Fifty to one hundred well

selected varieties will afford an abund-

ance of this healthy fruit from the

middle of August until frost comes.

No other fruit can take the place of

this fruit during its season. The cur-

rant can be grown to perfection on the

average farm. It affords an abundance

of fruit for canning and to fill the jelly

tumblers. The raspberry is a small

fruit standing in a class by itself fer

home use. It cannot stand up when

shipped a long distance. It is a pro-

lific bearer and will yield crops of

fruit the second year after planting.

Two or three I‘OWS in the garden will

furnish an abundance of this fruit for

table use, as well as for the cans.

Farmers with plenty of land, dressing

and straw for mulching should have

their tables liberally supplied With

strawberries. It is the quickest to

give a bountiful supply for this end,

because a bed made one year will yield

a. crop the next May or June. Apple

and pear trees may be started in rows

with the small fruit vines and bushes,

and will begin to hear about the time

bush fruits need renewing. It is bet-

ter to have low-headed trees, that'is,

let them have their limbs near the

ground. They will yield fruit much

earlier than trees that are headed

higher. If the trees are in the berry

rows one can clean out the berries .

and rely upon the larger fruits alone

and start new berry rows. Currants

will continue to grow among the fruit

trees. In fact they seem to reach their

greatest perfection in partially shaded

rows.





Practically every farmer has some

kind of a kitchen garden, but very few

have one that supplies the luxuries of

the season. The secret of success

with the garden is to provide plenty

_of plant food. Manure is the best fer-

tilizer for the garden. Eliminate all

old-fashioned beds, so the most of the

work can be done with a horse. There

need not be an unpleasant amount of

hand work if properly worked with 3

CURRENT COMMENT





ED clover seed is





Red Clover sure to be scarce

Seed and high before it is

, , . time for seeding next

Situation spring. Reports from





some sections are

very discouraging so far as this year’s

crop of seed is concerned, and there

are well-posted seed authorities who

predict that it will sell for thirty-five

dollars per bushel before next March.

It is rather venturesome for one to at.

tempt to predict future prices of any

farm crop, but those who need seed

should lose no time in securing an ad-

equate supply of good clover seed as

quickly, as possible.

Every farmer in Michigan should

-make a careful study. of the present

situation in small seeds and plan his

actions accordingly. The prices of al-

sike, sweet clover, alfalfa and timothy

are likely to follow the lead of clover

seed and go skyrocketing before seed—

ing time. In Toledo, one of the great

world markets for small seeds, red

clover seed for delivery in December





is quoted at $30; alsike $25.05; timo-





thy $5.70 per bushel.





The majority of Michigan farmers

should make plans to restore some of

the fertility removed from their soils

during the past few years by sowing

more clover seed next year and giving

them a partial rest. 0111' land has been

cropped intensively during the past

few years and many of our meadows

are in poor condition. The higher the

price of grain and cultivated crops the

greater is the temptation to abandon

meadows and run the land a little

: harder. The quicker we take a sane

View of the soil fertility problemrand

get back to our former sensible meth-

od of crop rotation, the better is will

be nor us.



It seems too bad this year to see so

many farmers allowing their live stock

to graze down fair to good clover seed

prospects. We should be sure that

there is no good clover seed in the

second cuttings of clover before turn-

ing stock in it. Eliminate as far as

possible the weed menace by cutting

or pulling them out before cutting the

seed crop. Don’t cut the killed out or

thin spots where weeds have taken

possession of the ground. Many fields

so fittingly to their present system of

" besides the soil requirements are, so

Tm; much more exacting that they fall to





make a satisfactory stand on land

where red clover makes fairly good

stands. Alsike may help out on some

of our heavier types of soil, but good

the price is sure to go higher before

seeding time next spring.

State Farm Bureau Platform

Organized for Business





HE one great object of the Michigan State-FarmBureau is



the promotion of agriculture: ,



To cooperate with the Department of Agriculture and Extens

sion Department of the Michigan Agricultural College, not alone





for production, but for a more

tribution of all farm crops:





economical production and dis-





To assist the farmer in getting better marketing and trans.

portation facilities and help solve the distributing problems;



To get in closer relation and understanding with the consum—

er, assisting in the correction of a great many evils that now

exist between the points of production and ultimate consumption

of the food products raised on the farm;



, To assist in promoting better educational methods for our





1ural disti icts





In a political way to deal with measures and policies rather

than men; to insist on a fair and just hearing on all bills relat-





ing to agriculture and its development.





In fact, to obtain “Jus-





tice and a Square Deal,” through organized cooperative efiort

and a united stand for our rights. ,



In organization, we will perfiéct the same by raising the

standard of our present Farm Bureau system to the same level





that other industrial organizations of this country \enjoy.

future demands an invesfment on the‘part of the farmer of the

future, in such an organization. that will promote his interests.

Such investments do not promise fabulous returns of quick

wealth butthey do pay interest and dividends sufficient to sat-





‘ isfy wise investors.





Through such organization we hope to make the conditions

of farm life more profitable, attractive and appealing, that our

children will stay and take up our life work instead of continu-

ing in the rush for the city and its varied attractions;



To assist the farmer in making it possible to pay’a wage

that will enable him to get Competent help and still retain a

reasonable profit for himself. ,



We believe that a farmer has a right to cost of land, cost

of up-keep of land, cost of labor and other legitimate ex-

penses. Not a pound of produce should leave an American

farm that does not bring the cost of economic production and

a. reasonable profit. ,



We are meeting organized labor and organized capitaL We





must meet these across the council table with brains, and the





strongest“ organization the world has ever known, or the farm—

ers of this country will be forced into peasantry.



These are some of the vital and fundamental objects, rea-

sons, and necessities for a business Farm Bureau organization

in Michigan. We do not believe in class legislation or class

hatred, nor drastic and radical measures. Rather in good sound

judgment as the result of clearthinking, honest investigation

and good counsel. We believe in “Justiceland a Square Deal,”

for the common good of all that'Justice and Right may prevail

and ‘Democracy be made safe for the world '

Forty-five men are to participate in

the conference, one group of fifteen

men to represent the general public,

another group of fifteen to represent

organized labor, and a third group of,





'the same number to represent ‘busi-





ness, finance and agriculture. The

President will select the fifteen who

are to represent the general public.

Samuel Gompers, president of .the Am-

erican Federation.of Labor, has con

asked to select the fifteen labor repre-

sentatives. Of the remaining fifteen,

five will be selected by the National

Industrial Conference Board, two by

the Investment Bankers’ Association.

one by the Society of Equity, one by

the National Farmers’ Union, one by

three places out of forty-five in the

that this is inadequate representation

conference will have a tremendous in-

ORCING down the prices on food

products without materially re-

ducing the cost of ~other necessi-

ties of life will produce a food famine

in this country in less than two years.

One unfavorable season for field anu

truck crops will hasten the crisis.

WithOut labor, truck gardeners can-

not continue in business. With the

‘cost of every necessity of life advanc-

ing, it is difficult to secure labor on

the farms at the wage the farmer is

able to pay out of the returns he re-

ceives for what he has to sell, and a

cut in food prices alone would make

the obtaining of labor an impossibility.

These are some of the points brought

up by C. W. Waid, .of East Lansing,

chairman of the committee on arrange-

ments for the eleventh annual conven-

tion of the Vegetable Growers' Asso-

ciation of America, opening at Detront

on Tuesday, September 9, and they

seem to reflect the sentiments of five

hundred of the largest growers of veg-

etables in the United States.





According to Mr. Waid: “The ma-

jority of the truck farmers are located“

near large industrial centers. During

the war factory production increased

enormously, big wages were paid, and

the labor that had been used upon the

farms went into the cities. With only

such Workers as they had in their own

families, the farmers cut down their

acreage. Many of them gave up vege-

table growing because they could not.

make a success of it. Such land'as

was near a rapidly growing industrial

region was sold .bccause real estate

speculators offered big prices for it.

In Wayne county alone, where a large

portion of the vegetable crops for the

Detroit market are grown, the vegeta-

ble growing area has been reduced

(more than twenty~five per cent since

191-7. The only solution of the high

cost of living problem is for the farm-





. ers and consumers to get togetherand





agree to wait until conditions become

somewhat near normal. Farmers are





- not organized as are the manufactur-





ers of other commodities.’ That- has

A careful com-

parison between the increase in the





sities of life will. show that the farmer

is the least to blame for the present

cost of living.” ' '





The arguments advanced by speak-





ers at the Tuesday afternoon session de





of the convention were ‘for the adop-

tion by the farmers of the country of

operative marketing from the stand-

point of a grower and- shipper of

grapes and other fruit crops from

Southwestern Michigan. We' have had

more than ten years’ experience in the

work of cooperative marketing which

I feel will prove more interesting to

you than confining my talk to my ex-

periences in government work. In the

handling of perishable products the

farmers were forced to get together,

because the very nature of their bus-

iness made it necessary for them to

cooperate or see their business ruined.



“Years ago we in Southwestern

Michigan began in a blind way to co!

operate, and we found that the sales

and distribution systems in use at that

time were very poor, and that when-

ever we had a large supply we were

sure to find our markets in a demoral-

ized condition. In those days we had

no assistance other: than copying our

ideas from other districts where con-

ditions were not applicable to our dis-

trict. We made many mistakes be-

cause we did not know how to man-

age our business efficiently. After go~

ing along for several years with sev»

eral small associations we found that

we were cutting our own throats. The

buyers were playing one of our asso-

ciations against the others by gather-

ing in hotels and comparing notes and

fixing prices. After a period of a num-.

ber of years we were able to combine

and get the salesmen of the various

associations working in harmony. We

found that when we combined the sev-

eral associations we had a lot of fine

men all looking for fine jobs, but we

weathered the storm after a hard

fight , i



“The principal thing that we did

was to secure more efficient distribu-

tion and spread our shipments just as

the orange people have done so suc-

cessfully. The great secret of our suc-

cess was that we were'able to get the

best sales talent and correct distribu-

tion evils." Our next problem was that

of standardizing the size of our bas-

kets, and through a series of years’

work we got the type of basket we

now use. > Then we secured more uni~





spection, partly through our own ef-

forts and partly through legislation

governing the shipment of fruit unfit

CALIFORNIA MARKETED RECORD

’ CITRUS CROP.





 





HIPMENTS of citrus fruits from



California for the year ending Aug-

ust 31, 1919, totaled 45,692 carloads,

according to the annual report of G.

Harold Powell, general manager of the

California Fruit Growers’ Exchange,

which was issued yesterday. The state

produced 35,778 carloads of oranges

and grapefruit and 9,914 carloads of

lemons.



Members of the California Fruit

Growers’ Exchange shipped 11,108,070

boxes of oranges and grapefruit and

3,708,667 boxes of lemons, making a

total of 14,816,737 boxes. This is 72.2

per cent of the total shipment of cit-

rus fruits from California. The Valen-

cia shipment through the exchange to.

taled 6,275,000 boxes during the year,

while shipments of navels amounted

to 5,723,784 boxes. There were also

730,387 boxes of miscellaneous varie«

ties of oranges and 203,188 boxes of

grapefruit.



California orange and lemon ship-

ments for the year were reduced about

ten per cent by the cold weather in

California during January, according

to the exchange report. However, de—

spite this the crops of Valencia oran-

ges and lemons were each the largest

ever shipped from the. state. The re-

port predicts an annual yield of Cali-

fornia lemons that will exceed the

‘present combined domestic and for-





eigi supply by at least fifty per cent-

crease of 70. 2 percent over last year ,





The returns f.- o. b. cars California

for the exchange fruit, estimating the

value of cars yet unsold, will be ap-

proximately $54,600,000. Using this as

a basis, says the report, there has

been returned to California for the

1918-1919 crop about $75,600,000, with

a delivered value in the wholesale



markets of $100, 000, 000. The consum-

er has paid apprbximately $160, 000, 000

for the crop.



The exchange service, exclusive of

advertising, averaged 5.2 cents per box

or 1.04 per cent of the delivered value

of the fruit. Everything over actual

cost is returned to the grower.



There was also expended for adver-

tising two and a half cents per box for

oranges and four cents per box for

lemons, making the tdtal average cost

including both the exchange service

and advertising of 1.62 percent of the

delivered value of the fruit.



In spite of the general rise in the

cost of doing business, the operating

cost of the exchange during the past

year was less than it was ten years

ago. This, says the report, is due to

the large volume of business transact-

ed and to the economical operation

that can be developed only in, a large

organized business. The

marketing service including the cost

of advertising is the lowest, of any

perishable fruit product in America.



The report shows a remarkably

clean collection record for the big

growers' organization. The year’s loss-

es from bad debts, uncollected bills

and in the transmission of funds

amounts to only $464.38. During the

last sixteen years there has been re-

turned to California, through the ex-

change, $317,000,000. The losses from

all causes during this time have been

approximately $8,000, or about 1-4000

of one per cent of the f. o. b. i'eFurns.



“An industry may easily be misled

as to the net value of high prices,"

says Mr. Powell, “unless it compares

its returns with the values of other

comr'nodities, and particularly those

which the producer has to buy. The

advance in prices on all citrus fruits

since the beginning of the war has

not kept pace with the rise in prices

of commodities in general, particularly

of those purchased by the producer,

except in 1917-1918, When two-thirds

of the citrus crop was destroyed by‘

the heat wavein June. The rise in

price of thesmall crop of oranges,

which then remained, slightly exceed-

ed the rise in pricesof commodities

generally.”



In his annual report Mr. Powell

takes a firm stand against the ship-

ment of frost damaged fruit, particu-

larly 'under the Sunkist brand, whose

quality the exchange can control. In

referring to the damage last winter,

Mr. Powell says:



“The exchange took instant action





.to retain the confidence of the trade

and the consumer by maintaining the'





standard of grade and quality of ‘Sun-‘





kist’ brand. The shipment of fruit un-‘





der ‘StmkiSt,"except that already har-

vested before the frost and in the





 

 

 





 

 





 





exchange





ed. The exchange refused to handle,

under the name ‘Sunklst,’ fruit that

contained more than five per cent of

frost injured oranges, lemons or grape

fruit.



Because of the necessity for increas-

ing the consumption of oranges and

lemons to keep pace with the rapid

increases in production, the Exchange

is planning to increwe its advertising

and retail dealer service worl; during

the coming year. The Exchange, says

Mr. Powell, now ranks among the

largest advertisers of food products in

America.



Speaking of the large predicted in-

crease in the annual crop of California

lemons, Mr. Powell refers to thee-fleet

of foreign importations upon a domes-

tic market. “In the fall of 1918.” he

says, “when the domestic supply was

very heavy, the Exchange increased

its sales efljorts, and the total sales of

foreign and California lemons combin-

ed, increased eighty per cent in Octo-

her and November, over the some

months in 1917; thirty-per cent.over

1916. and twenty-three per cent over

1915. The foreign fruit amounted to

only fifty-seven carloads in these two

months. The result of an almost ex-

clusive, uniformly distributed Califor-

nia supply, was an even moderate

price to the consumer; a lowering of

the margins by the wholesaler and re-

tailer; and by the placing of lemon

sales by the trade on a regular mer-

chandising, rather than a fluctuating,

speculative basis.



“In view of the rapid advance in the

cost of production, an upward revision





of the tariff is one of the fundamental.





changes needed to stabilize the domes-

tic lemon industry by restricting the





large quantities of low grade, but ulti-‘





mately high-priced consumer fruit,

which, as during the summer months

of 1919. are dumped on the American

market.”





MILO CAMPBELL SPEAKS FOR

AGRICULTURE.





 





T the conference held in Chicago,



September 8-9, known as “Our

Country First Conference,” called by

the Illinois Manufacturers’ Associa-

tion many interests were represented.

The object of this conference was to

formulate some plan by which the

present unrest of the people could be

quieted and a more safe and sane

course be pursued by all concerned.



Although the farmers were not rep-

resented by a large number of dele-

gates their caizse was ably champion-

ed by Hon. Milo Campbell, of Michi-

gan, who had the honor of being se-

lected as a, member of the Committee

on Resolutions and as such hadan im-

portant part in drafting the resolutions

that were to be submitted \to cangress

for consideration in formulating legis-

lation for the betterment of existing

conditions and to tranquilize the wave

of unrest that is sweeping over the

country.



Among the ‘many important resolu-

tions submitted to the conference was

one by the Michigan member, (Mr.

Campbell), requesting congress to so

codify or amend the Sherman Anti-

Trust Law that farmers could unite in

collective bargaining in order to keep

down the cost of=distribution and mar-

untcouldbesoconstruedasto rena

der them flab!e to prosecution.





This resolution was opposed by some

of the representatives of great corp0r4

ations as a request for class legisla-

tion, and they certainly made very elo‘

quent and earnest pleas for its defeat.

It seemed a very unequal struggle to

see our Michigan representative stand-

ing almost alone in defense of this res-

olution, which might affect the busi-

ness 'o’f the whole agricultural inter-

ests of this great nation; but his ear-

nest endeavor, his honesty of purpose,



and the game lighting spirit that he

displayed overcame the eloquence of

his many opponents, and I am happy

to say that he won the fight and the

resolution was passed by a fair major-

ity of this large conference.





I am hoping that your many read-

ers who are engaged in agriculture

may realize that the farmer has at

last come into his own and is being

considered as one of the great ele-

ments of production, and that he may

censider the advisability and see the

necessity of attending these great as-

semblies of industry and take an ac-

tive part in framing the policies of our

nation, of which the farmers comprise

the largest single element.

FARMERS IN UPPER PENINSULA

SPEND DAY AT CHATHAM.





 





HE farmers of the Upper Peninsu-



la recently accepted an invitation

from Mr. D. L. McMillan, the present

superintendent of the experiment sta-

tion farm, to spend the day in looking

over the equipment and live stock, and

becoming acquainted with the experi-

mental work that is being done-at the

station.



The county agents advertised the

picnic very thoroughly in each of the

counties, and as a result a large'crowd

of farmers promised to attend. In

spite of the fact that the weather look-

ed unfavorable on the morning of the

appointed day, farmers began to arrive

early and by noon some five hundred

people were present.





During the forenoon demonstrations

on land clearing were carried'on by a

powder company, and by stump-pull-

ing machines. Mr. Kotila, in charge

of potato disease work at the station,

took the farmers to, the' potato fields

and explained his work.



After a picnic dinner in the grove,

short speeches'were given by Presi-

dent F. S. Kedzie, Dean R. S. Shaw,

Professor Cox of the Farm Crops De-

partment, Dr. Eben Mumford, all of

the Michigan Agricultural College;

Mr. Jason Woodman, member of the

State Board of Agriculture; Mr. John

Doelle, secretary of the Upper Penin-

sula Development Bureau, and‘ Mr.

Henry Perry of the Cloverland Maga-

zine.



The remainder of the afternoon was

given over to a thorough inspection of

the farm, including a visit to the ex-

perimental plots of grain and potato

varieties. A large number of experi-

ments are being carried on to deter-

mine the best varieties of different

crops for this section, with the-inten-

tion of developing the best and dis-

tributing them to the farmers.



The day offered an concrtunity for

the farmers to become acquainted with

the experiment station farm and what

it aimed to do in experimental and

’ting up'and down in the barn.





‘ BY E. L. VINCENT.





0 part of the ordinary farm barn



is more likely to be neglected at

time of building than is the upper part,

the part above the main floors.

because we do not finish this up as we

ought to when the work‘is going on,

we are very apt to leave it always in





the same incomplete and unsatisfao-‘





tory condition. ‘

To show what I mean, let me speak





‘of a case I knew. The wife of the '





farmer wanted a straw bed filled. The

men folks were out on the place at





' work. She was of an independent turn





of mind and she mounted to the high-

est scaffold, some twelve or fourteen





feet above the big barn floor, and put





down the needed straw herself. But

before she had finished her work and

gotten down, she Went straight down

through the Scafforld to the floor be-

low. As it happened, she went through

standing straight up and struck on the

straw below, so that she was not hurt,

save as the scare gave her a shock.

If there had been a good floor 011 that

scaffold that accident never would

have happened. I have seen many

scaffolds, in‘which the only floor was

made of rough slabs laid rounding side

up. I was always .glad to get down

safely whenever I had been on a scaf-

fold as dangerous as that.





In laying the floor in the upper story

of our own barn, I gave it two layers

of boards, breaking joints so that no

seeds and dust would rattle down to

the floor below and there would be no

danger of breaking through. That is,

I believe, the best way to lay a scaf-

fold floor. Old boards may be used

for the first layer, but the top floor

ought to be of good boards free from

check or broken spots. The higher‘

above the main floor these scaffolds

are, the more secure should be the

flooring upon them; and certainly the

joists upon which the boards are laid

ought to be perfectly sound and capaj

ble of sustaining any weight that may

be put upon them.





The matter of reaching these upper

floors in the barn is one of considera-

ble importance. Many of the older

barns of the country have no better

ways of going from floor to floor than

to climb ladders. Where these exist

at all, they are usually built into the

middle posts, and of course, perfectly

perpendicular. It requires ‘no small

amount of strength to get up such a‘

ladder. None but a strong man should

ever try it. '





When we were building our barn, I

said, “No climbing a ladder for us. We

will have a good pair of stairs to go

from the main floor to the scai‘fofds

above}? And we did put in such a flight

of stairs, wide enough and 'eaSy to

climb, so that it is no more difficult to

get from floor to floor than it is in the

house.



A thing which happened in our

neighborhood a few years ago is im-

pressive enough to prove how careful

we should be about our ways of get-

‘It was

a busy time of the year. The farmer

was delayed abOut doing his chores.

The wife wanted to do what she could





to help things along. She climbed over _





into the silo and put out the ensilage

for the stock. Then she pulled herself

up by her arms to the opening at

which she came in. That was the end

of things with her. Something inside

her body snapped. In less than a day

shé was dead. An awful thing, we say,

and so it was, and the worse because

it might have been avoided. A short

lddder set over in the silo, with rounds

close together, would have saved her

life.

is the original, standard, made-on-honor salt tonic and worm killer. It

kills and destroys all worms in stomach and intestines—and expels them

from the body. At the same time it aids the digestion, tones up the

system, purifies the blood, and gives the animal the strength and stamina

to r‘ésist disease. It is a guaranteed worm and parasite destroyer—and

invaluable as a preventive.





No Money Needed -

Pay Only When Results Prove RIGHT

We want to do business with business farmers—men whose word is

as good as ours. We want to hear from sheep breeders who realize the

importance of freeing sheep and all farm animals of all worms in

stomach and intestines. We have no cure- ails—no magic preparations——

but we have a dependable, time-tested, medicated salt that will do all we

and fair yields of rye. The acreage of

have been reported.



No change is made in the estimated

production of winter wheat from last

month’s report, which was 19,247,000

bushels. The amount of wheat mar-

keted during the month, as reported

by mills and elevators,_was 1,750,000

bushels; tWenty-one mills and sixteen

elevators reported the purchase of no

wheat during the month.





The acreage of spring wheat is 66,-

000, which is probably the largest ever

grown in the state. The hot, dry sea

son was unfavorable for the crop so

that the yield was reduced to 12.2

bushels per acre, or a total production

of 804,000 bushels, as compared with

778,000 bushels from 43,000 acres last

year. -



The corn crop has revived consider-

ably under the influence of moderate

will be out of danger of frost within

cut and shocked or put into silos. The

36,979,000 bushels, or nearly 3,000,000

bushels more than estimated last

month, and about 8,000,000 bushels

more than was harvested last year.



The crop of oats is comparatively

light, being only 36,169,000 bushels as

compared with 66,320,000 bushels last

year, and is the smallest production

since 1907. The yield is estimated at

23.2 bushels per acre.



Barley also suffered from the hot

and dry summer, and the total produc-

tion is estimated at 5,124,000 as com-





_ pared with 8,360,000 bushels last year.





The yield per acre is estimated at 18.3

bushels.



Buckwheat has improved during the

past month, and if‘frost does not in-

terfere the outlook is for a good crop.

The present condition of seventy-eight

per cent indicates a yield of 14. 4 bush-

els per acre, or a total production of

895, 000 bushels. ,

The estimated yield of rye is 16.0

bushels per acre, and the total produc-

9,136 000 bushels as compared

with 6,811,000 bushel-slast year. -

The late potato crop has held up

well throughout the long drought, but

is in a critical condition now. Unless

rains come immediately the 'crop will

be very short except in a few northern

counties where the moisture has been

FORCING PAYMENT FOR LINE

FENCE.





 





I built a line fence which was an.

praised by the fence-viewers. The cost

of the fence was spread on the tax r011

by the supervisor. The treasurer ac-

cepted state, county, township, school

and road taxes, and the fence tax was

returned to the county treasurer un-

paid. Do I have to wait until the land

is sold for taxes, or does the township

pay me the tax due? W. M.





statute is “the said tax to be collected





are collected. The legislature might

easily have provided a more speedy

remedy, but the only one provided is

by the sale of the land as for other

taxes. Of course, the cost to the man

paying the tax increases very rapidly

when the tax becomes delinquent, the

same as other taxes, but the remedy

to the other party is rather slow.

JOHN R. R001).





FERTILIZER. FOR RYE.





 





I own a farm at Mendon, Mich., and

,I wish to furnish my tenant with com-

mercial fertilizer to put on at least

forty acres of rye. Ground is a sandy

10am and ground was in oats and a

little of it in rye this year. I wish to

use that to build up the soil and in-

sure a catch of clover next spring.

Please tell me what you would use,

how much per acre, and where I may

get same. I will appreciate this 'as

we in this part of Illinois know noth-

ing of the commercial fertilizers and

I am more than anxious to build up

my land, and hope to make my home

,in Michigan. P. S., Illinois.



Generally speaking, Michigan soils

are more deficient in phosphorus than

in the other two essential elements of

plant food—nitrogen and potash,con-

sequently it always pays to use phos-

phorus. Soils that are well filled with

organic matter need little else, but if

they have been poorly managed, no

particular pains taken to plow down

sods or to apply stable manure to keep

organic matter in the soil, they are

quite liable to be deficient in nitrogen

so that they will not produce good

Crops. A few of our soils for certain

cm s also need potash but on the av-

erage Michigan soils for a cereal crop

like rye, potash is not so very im-

portant.



Not knowing the immediate history

of this land one cannot state with very

much confidence the brand of fertiliz-

er to be used. If there has been a

good sod plowed down in the last year

or two, or if stable manure has been

applied, my judgment would be that

from two to three hundred pounds of

acid phosphate would be the best pos.

sible brand of fertilizer to use. This

can be purchased in the form of a

fourteen or sixteen per cent acid phos-

photo and may be purchasedxof any

reliable fertilizer manufacturer. You

can note the fertilizeradvertisements

in the Michigan Farmer and make no

mistake in ordering.



As I say, if this soil is somewhat run

down by poor management, then two

or three per cent nitrogen in the fer-

tiliser will give splendid results. It is

barely possible that this sandy soil is

somewhat deficient in potash and if it

is‘then this also should be .added.

METHODS OF HARVESTING BUCK-

' WHEAT.





 





SHORT time ago an inquiry was



~ answered in the Michigan Farmer

relative to thebest method to, be used

in harvesting buckwheat. The writer

is raising a considerable acreage, and





has for several years been forced to'





employ" various methods in harvesting,

depending on weather conditions.



On land which is level, there is pos-

sibility that the ground will become

too soft for the operation of the grain

harvester. This is particularly .true on

clay soils, and at the. season when

buckwheat should be cut the weather

is' quite unreliable. The writer be-

lieves the ordinary grain harvester

will operate as successfully on ground

on which the side delivery reaper will

operate with success, providing the

binder works easily and is in. good

condition.



I have used the mower two seasons

to cut a portion of the crop. A table

may be readily made by nailing some

light boards to inch-square pieces.





 





 





Harvesting Buckwheat.





These boards should be so nailed as to

make a table about three feet wide,

and as long as the cutter bar. One

person should follow the mower, using

a hand rake, and with a raking motion

pull the grain down on the table.

When the table is nicely cayered the

one raking may easily rake oil? the

grain. With quick stepping he can

catch up with the mower. Last year

I followed a machine cutting upward

of twenty acres in this manner. It is

necessary to set up each time around.

This requires two or threevtimes the

time otcutting a swath. Much of the

buckwheat the writer out last year

with a mower was when the ground

was so soft that in parts of the field





the machine cut in six or eight inches. »





(Under such cenditions a mower which

is not in first-class . ‘conditiOn, and.

which does not run easily will cut in

'too deeply,. or the wheels will have a

tendency to slide. The writer has ob~

served a bunching attachment which

would possibly be Very desirable for

use on wet fields. This could be used





to advantage and with a large degree .





of profit where buékwheat is short.

The writer used the grain harvester

two years ago on a particular field.

The grain was short, and perhaps. .one-

tourth of the grain was combed under

the table. In 'spite of the short stalks,

the clusters were exceptionally well-

filled, andithe use of the mower, and

an extra man would have been profit-

able.



It was necessary to cradle about a

dozen acres of our last year’ s crop.

a-complete success. A cooperative or-

ganization- to live must not, smack of.

the 'old -ti1ne idea of profits; if it has

stock that pays interest it cannot be

strictly cooperative. As these move-

ments grow larger it is important that

they be formulated with great care so

that we will not be compelled to do

the thing all over at some time in the

future.



“Of all the problems confronting

such organizations, efliciency in man-

agement is the most difficult one to

solve, for when five hundred men get

together it is a. diflicult matter to get

them all to agree on a Certain proposi-

tion and put the business acroSs. You

have got to appoint directors who will

select men to do the real things and

not dilute the responsibilities from one

man to another. And then your or-

ganization must; be strong enough to

secure the best talent in the country

to look after its sales problems. In





. the case of potatoes, what could an





association handling one hundred cars

do, but when you put one hundred of

these associations together you can go

out and get the best talent to manage

such an organization. Then I feel that

farmers must combine in such a way

as to benefit the people of the com-

munity as a whole, as well as the in-

dividual members of an association.

“We have now in our Michigan Po-

tato Growers’ Exchange more than

seventy-five small associations com‘





, b‘lning their strength and influenée to





help the potato industry as a whole.

To maintain efficient organizations we

must have business vision on the part

of the directors, and have men with

the courage to act when they see the

thing is not going right. When we

have the potato growers of the coun-

try well-organized you can see how we

will be able to secure proper distribu-

tion and fair prices for all growers.



“Another thing I want to mention

before I close. We must not allow our

business to be controlled by ,senti-

ment. In my work of organizing one

of our live stock shipping associations

I heard a men say that he would not

have any man for manager who had

had anything to do withthe live stock

shipping business. So you see he was

willing to cut off his nose to spite his

face ”



Dorr D. Buell, president of the Mich-

igan Potato Growers’ Exchange, spoke

upon the subject of “A Producers' 0r-

ganization ‘that Cooperates.” In ex-

plaining the growth. of the Michigan

Potato, Growers’ Exchange, Mr. Buell

showed a map illustrating the differ-

ent associations that belong to the Ex-

change. The Exchange began busi-

ness less than a year ago with twenty-

eight associations and it now has in-

creased its membership to seventy-





‘eight, and several more are almost





ready to join. Of these new associa-

tions some. are county organizations

that operate at several loading sta-





. tions.





“You might think from our name,”

said Mr. Buell, “that we handle noth-

ing but potatoes, but as a matter of

fact we market all of the products

that our. farmers care to sell through

the Exchange in car-loads. When we

were starting last year we had some

staggering préblems to face, but our

people have stood by us from the be-

ginning. Different men have somuch

different conception of What a good

potato is like that is has greatly com-

plicated our marketing problem. It

has been our aim from the beginning

to. standardize our potatoes, and to that





- end we have decided upon one vari-'





ety, the Petoskey Golden Russet, as

the ideal ‘potato for our 5011 and cli-

mate, and at present more than‘sev-

enty-five per cent of our growers are

planting this variety. In some of the

counties in the Northern Peninsula.

the Green Mountain reaches a higher

degree of perfection than the Petos-

key Golden Russet.



"‘We are organized to run our own

business. and to let the other fellow

run his, but invariably when a big co-

operative organization begins to cut

into the business of a community the

buyers and dealers are going.to fight

it pretty hard. We also fight when we

get into a tight place and at some of

our stations where the buyers and

dealers are paying more than the mar-

ket can stand we. no matter how much

it hurts our pride, send them over ten

or twelve loads to fill their cars. We

are always willing to have such com-

petition when it will help our mem-

bers secure a higher price for their

potatoes than our markets can stand.

I could go on with example after ex-

ample telling you how we have ena-

bled the farmers of different commu-

nities, not our members alone, but oth-

ers, to secure much better prices and

more fair treatment than they could

have received had it not been for our

organization. One example will suf-

fice: Last fall hay buyers offered $15

a ton for hay. The Exchange guaran-

teed to sell all the hay produced by

members for $20 a ton, whereupon the

jobbers raised their price to $21. Rye,

being the first crop the farmer has to

sell, was sought by millers at $1.10 a

bushel but the Exchange forced the

millers to pay $1 45, while the actual

price was $1. 54 a bushel.



“Our census this fall will give us a

pretty accurate idea of how many cars

of potatoes and other products we will

be called upon to handle so that we

will be able to plan our business so

as to :get them where they .are want-

ed, 'when they are wanted and in the

shape they are wanted. In ,a recent

trip around the markets of the coun-

try I find the buyers all want a. stan-

dardized product and for that reason

we have selected a. trade-mark and

contemplate putting our potatoes up

in one-hundred-pound sacks tied with

red twine. Some of the big dealers

tell us that a, one-hundred-and-fifty

pound sack is preferable for their mar-

kets. We may be forced to use some

one-hundred-and-fifty-pound sacks for

certain markets.



“Cooperative shipping organizations

have been of great value in improving

the quality of farm products. Our

farmers are not only putting up better

potatoes, but now that they under—

stand the value of putting them on the

market in good condition they are tak-

*‘TEgCHING CHICKS TO RooST.





 





WHERE a. large number of Chicks _





are being raised in one brooder

house, diiliculty is often experienced

in preventing the birds from piling up





at night after the heat is removed, and .





causing serious losses. To prevent

this overcrowding the birds should‘ be

taught to roost as early as possible. If

roosts are- made out ofone-by-three-inch

strips placed flat so as to provide a

three-inch roosting surface, and these,

are placed twelve to fifteen inches

from the floor,, the birds can easily be

taught to go to ,roost.‘ If the chicks

do not go up on the roost of their own

accord they should be gently placed on

the roosts after dark for one or two

nights until they get the roosting

habit. '





This season of the year a constant





lookout should be kept by all poultry





keepers for mites in the houses and

coops. A mite is very small and diffi-

cult to see unless special search is

made. They are usually found in the

cracks near roosts. They appear as

minute, gray or reddish specks. When

present in large numbers they often

have the appearance of dust. Mites

reproduce very rapidly and are a great

source of annoyance to the hens when

present in large numbers. The mites

live by sucking blood from the hens. A

severe attack of mites will cause the

hens to lose flesh and stop laying, and

will oftentimes produce death. To get

rid of mites the houses must he care-

fully cleaned and then painted or

sprayed with repellant material. A

heavy spraying of coal oil followed in

two or three days by giving the roosts

and surrounding boards a thorough

painting with crude oil will clean up

the mites and keep the houses free for

several months. This treatment should

be applied twice yearly to all poultry

houses as a precautionary measure

against mites.

' ing more pains in digging and hand-

ling them until they reach the car

door er stOrage house. Last year we

sold 2,165 cars of potatoes, or more

than one-fifth of the Michigan crop.

and we feel that we gave them pretty

good distribution. At the beginning

we had an idea that we could elimi-

nate the extra cost of marketing by

Selling potatoes and other products'to

the welfare departments of some of

the big manufacturing concerns in the

industrial centers, and while we have

found many of these concerns inter-

ested in this line of work they are ser-

iously handicapped for lack of storage

room.”



“The Ashtabula Lettuce Growers’

Association,” was the subject of a

brief address by E. A. Dunbar who

spoke from the standpoint of the small

association. “We have been listening

this afternoon,” said Mr. Dunbar, “to

men talking in large figures, and it

will be my purpose to talk about a

Small growers’ association. In our

Work we have found it cheaper and

more satisfactory to put our products

in uniform packages and select one

reliable commission firm in each city

to do our distributing. This gives them

an opportunity to build up a trade and

hold it during the season. While such

an arrangement might not work out

requally as well in handling a larger

volume of business it has kept our

marketing expenses down to a mini-

mum, and we have seldom lost any-

thing through our dealing with the

commission houses. At first all of our

produce was shipped to one firm in

Pittsburgh, but when the firm we were

dealing with began to reship our goods



to other cities we visited these cities

and made arrangements to do our own

shipping direct.” Mr. Dunbar then

read a paper dealing with the history

of his organization; a portion of which

we shall publish at some future time.



Considerable interest was expressed

in the address of Louis Miller regard-

ing the work of the Toledo Market

Gardeners’ Association, which has





 

   





its obligations.





 





been under fire of the courts for the

past few days. Mr. Miller said: “One

of our handicaps has been the fact

that we have been unable to hire a

man big enough to handle the‘ busi-

ness end of our association. The rea-

son we organized was not the outcome

of any particular conditions, but when

the convention met at Toledo we or-

ganized to entertain them, and we lik-

ed the idea so well that we held to-

gether and drifted along for awhile

Without doing anything worth mention-

ing. We finally decided to incorporate

and go ahead and do business in a co-

operative way. On May 1, 1915, we

began business, but things failed to

move along smoothly, until finally we

called a meeting to decide what to do.

I_ was ready to give up the ship, but

when I saw the spirit of the members

I was willing to start over again. Our

plans called for a ten per cent handy

ling charge to be set aside, which

proved adequate so‘long as the green-

house products came along, but when

the other things came along and the

markets began to get slow we had to

increase the percentage. So long as

we are in the cooperative business we

will always have the small growers

with us, so we might as well tell them

to grab hold of our coat tails and let

us pull them along. It is the only

way we can deal with the question of

stabilizing the markets, even though

the small shipments may be handled

at. a 'slight loss.

' clency in producing. grading and sell '





ing our products, and along comes an-

other great branch of our government

and says ‘hands up, and put up $5,000

bond or go to jail.’ In selling market

garden crops four men can, do the

work, of thirty, leaving the other twen-

ty-six to go home and produce more.

When asked what effect it would have

on the prices of vegetables 0n the To—

ledo market if this organization was

dissolved, the largest independent

grower of vegetables in our district

testified that it would discourage the

growers to such an. extent that pro-

duction would fall off and prices would

rise higher as a consequence. Some

of the independent growers have stood

by us’through these court proceed-

ings, and they feel that we are a big

factor in keeping down prices and sta-

bilizing the industry in that district.”



Howard W. Selby, of Springfield,

Mass, had for his subject, “Coopera-

tion in New England," which he hand-

led as follows: “In order to give you

a clear idea of the way cooperation

”has developed in New England it will

be necessary for me to go back about

six years and tell you about how the

people of that region have cooperated

to the end that agriculture might pros-

per. In the flrst place, the business

men have given hearty cooperation to

the farm bureau movement. Taking

the viewpoint of a" business man, who

said in regard to the county agent





work: ‘What can one man do in a

county?’ So there developed the

H a m p d e 11 County Improvement





League, which employs from ten to

fifteen men to look after the agricuL

tural affairs of that county. And as

this work has been going on in the

New England states where the agri-

cultural possibilities are so limited it

has— been found that it pays. Our work

in helping growers market their prod-

ucts in the industrial centers without

waste in transportation and distribu-

tion charges has helped the growers

to develop their business and corre-

late their interests. One business man

said regarding the falling off in the

number of dairy cows in Massachu-

setts that we could send to New Hamp-

shire and Vermont for our milk, but





‘ a survey that we made 'of those two





states showed a marked falling off in

the number of cows being milked. Af-

ter we made a report of the survey to

him he agreed that something must

be done to stimulate an‘interest in

dai'rying and cause our farmers to see

the profits. As a result of making a

careful study of the dairy situation

in New England we prevailed upon

the officers of the National Dairy

Show to come to Springfield, and near-

ly a million dollars was spent in hous-

ing it. Our business men are seeing

lthe need of upbuilding our agriculture





. and such efforts have led up to the





development of the Eastern States Ex-

position. We found along in our work

the need of cooperating. the same as

you men in Michigan have found. We

are following a principle there some-

what different than you in other lo-

calities.





“The failure of local organizations

as we analyzed it has been due to the

fact that many managers have been

engaged on haliitime, and no man can

be a great success when he is making

a plaything or side line of your busi.

ness. Many organizations have not

been financed properly to secure the

full advantages‘of cooperation in buy-

ing. In selling many farmers follow

the lines of least resistance by going

to their fellowmen and saying, ‘Why

should we sell the ecoperative organi

zatlon when the local buyer is paying

the same price?’ Our farm bureaus

are doing a grand work but they are





' handicapped because they canfiot aid" ”3' ‘5‘

the farmers in entering lute collective

bargaining.





 





 





 

 





farmer in buying. We figure that if

he“ can save that way he will be more

ready to answer the nation’ s call and

raise more food crops, when he sees

that he can do,“ at a profit. In our

efforts to buy grains and mill feeds

we have been up against the competi-

tion of local dealers, manufacturers of

mixed feeds and by-products, speculat-

ors and other interests that control

the grain trade, but we propose to

meet them on even grounds by hiring

one of the best experts in the country





to look after that branch of our asso-'





ciation work. ,Is there any reason

why the farmers should support one

hundred men to do the work of one

good man? We are making savings

in all of our dealings with the farm—

ers, and we‘belleve that these savings

will do much to increase the produc-

tion of farm products in New England.





Our organization is. bringing in better'





grain and mill feeds and the farmers

realize that the independent dealers

are now being forced to do the same

thing. Feed dealers who sell- to' us

are being threatenedwith boycott by

dealers and manufacturers, but we are

still able to buy feeds, and expect to

develop this end of our business to

such proportions that we will not suf-

fer in the least from any competition

or threats the big grain interests can

make. .



“We also hope to develop the live

stock shipping associations so that we

will be able to pay for an animal as

soon as it is delivered, the same as is

the case in the live stock producing

states. Then we will feel that the

$35,000 we are offering in .prize money

to breeders of beef cattle at our East-

ern States Exposition has been well-

invested.





"We cannot successfully market

some of our products because the deal-

ers charge such unreasonable prices

that the consumers cannot afford them.

This is one of the factors whichis

making it discouraging to the farmers.

Your potato men tell us that they are

shipping potatoes to New England.

We are shipping potatoes to Chicago,

which goes to show that we are cross-

ing our Wires, and our producers and

consumers are spending some of their

good money for transportation charg-





es that more efficient business man!





agement would eliminate. We are

planning to market eight hundred





cars of potatoes, eight hundred cars





of hay and a large volume of other

products. Heré is one of the obstacles

we have to contend with: The United

States Crop Estimates told us that

there were 250,000 tons of hay to be

sold from New England last year;

while from other sources we found

that there were 250,000 tons of hay

shipped into New England from the

west. 0111' big effort is to correct such

evils of distribution and stabilize con-

ditions and prices so that the com-

modities we are buying and selling

may have a more economical distribu-

tion and stable market, for we believe

that is a part of any sound program

to make agriculture profitable. We are

educating our bankers to the import-

ance of agriculture as a basic indus-

try, and have established a credit of

$500, 000 with a bank account of $50,-

000 which has proved. one of our

strbng factors. In'this way when any

of the firms with which we are deal-

ing asks for a report on (our credit he

is informed that it is A-l up to one-half

million dollars. In our work we are





copying the ideas of big business and





not fighting big business like our

friends in the northwest. " '

“One of the "big dieters inrc‘ur oo- l

operative work is that of Saving the .
N interchurch cooperative organi-‘



zation is conducting a nation-wide

survey of religious conditions that is

certain to throw new light also upon

the special problems of the farmer and

the farm community. _



The broad purpose of the investiga-

tion is to ascertain the whole truth as

to the country church and particularly

the extent to which it is meeting its

obligations and opportunities in its‘

own community. What it can do to

take a larger share in the everyday

life of the people and how it may as-

sume a just proportion of all the civic

burdens of its constituency are to be

determined when all the facts are at

hand.



Actual collection of information has

been assigned in each of three thou-

sand counties to residents familiar

with local conditions. _ Their findings

are to be examined by all the denomi~

national interests of the county in we

cial conferences called for the pur-

pose. These will come to every pos-

sible agreement as to programs of lo-

cal work. Although the data will be

certified afterwards for review by the

state and national interdenomination-

a1 conferences, local self-determination

will be the basis of action in each in-

stance. ‘



The Interchurch World Movement

in itself is simply a working plan in-

tended to afford a means of coopera—

tion. It is not an enterprise for or-

ganic church union and does not con-

cern itself with matters of creed or

doctrine.

great denominational movements of

the last few years.



The necessity of inter-denomina-

tional cooperation is apparent. ’ The

need is for an arrangement whereby

each church agency can continue its

particular work with its own funds

and methods, so coordinating its plans

with those of all the others that dup-

lication and waste might be eliminat-

ed. The Interchurch World Move-

ment is the logical outcome. Already

its endorsers represent seventy-six deo

nominations with ”200,000 churches





and a constituency of 50,000,000 souls. ‘





Each rural survey has in mind two

things, the individual church and the

separate community. .The church is

examined as to the nature, number,

ages, sex, welfare and occupation of

‘ its members, the extent of its pastoral

influence, its financial methods, its re-

lation to all other churches, to grang-

es, and lodges, and its, physical sur~

roundings, vsuch as roads, railroads,

trolley lines, etc. The community is

examined as to its population, trade

territory, social environments, etc. '



When complete, it is expected that

maps may be drawn of every rural

county in the United States, showing

A Real Communlty Church





{By Paul 11.81722”:





HE pastor of a. rural church in

northern Michigan was taken

sick during the week and it was

evident that he would not be able to

conduct the usual service on Sunday

- morning. -His wife notified one of the

church trustees and left it to him to

spread the word among those who

were accustomed to spend part of

their day of rest in church.





This church trustee realized the val-

ue of community gatherings and in-

stead of notifying the usual church go-

ers that there would be no services,

he called on his neighbor, Mr. Brown,

a. young man who was making a suc-

cess of farming, and asked him to give

a. talk on “System in Farming,” at

the Sunday morning service. After

considerable persuasion Mr. Brown

consented to do this and word was

spread through the community that





his sermons interesting enough, or is

it just because we get out of the

habit?



“Friends,.lt isn’t the habit; we’d

have the habit all right if‘we had the

inclination; it isn’t_t.he preacher’s ser-

mons, the best speechmaker in the

state couldn’t do any better than our

present pastor. working under the

same conditions.



“And Christianity harmonizes per-

fectly with ordinary life, if we’d only

let it. The trouble is. neighbors, we

are all working and living individual-

ly, we are working individually in bus—

iness, we don’t stick together. Look

at our Cooperative Association. We

organized with one hundred membens,

hired a manager, let him run the bus«

iness. sold our potatoes wherever we

thought we could get the most, and

then cussed our manager because the





 





   

   

   

 

 

 

 





 

 





‘ Mr. Brown was then presented and





_ ing, now that he was before this un-





membership fell off. ‘





“That’s just the way we are trying

to conduct our church, we or rather

our wives, have hired a man to come

in here as our pastor and what do we

do to help him? We hike' for the corn

field or the back pasture lot if we see

him coming on a. week day, and if he

does slip up on us sometime when we

don’t see him quick enough, we swal-

low a perfectly good cud of tobacco,

or burn a. hole in our pants pocket

with a. lighted pipe. We won’t accept

him into our lives. We think his stan-

dard of living is idealistic, and we feel

that he ‘is among us more as a re-

former than as an ordinary human

being.



“What are we paying this pastor for.

anyway? Are we paying him to re-

form us? If so, why don’t we reform

once in a while, so as to get some val-

ue out of our money? Are we paying

him to be a. living example of what

we ought to be? Or are we paying

him to interpret somebody else’s vis-

ion of what life ought to be? Do we

ever stop to think? No. We don’t

like to think. We are paying our

twentytfive or fifty cents a. week into

the church treasury and consider that

money gone. We are willing to give

that much if the preacher will just

leave us alone. .





“Now, what is the matter with us

anyway? Why do we continue to pay

for this man that we don’t want

around? Well, I’ll tell you the excuse ,

we give ourselves. We think that

whether we accept him into our lives

or not he has a certain influence "over

the community, that tends to make

some of the people a little better so

that maybe the money is helping the"

morals of the community.



“But do we know whether it is or

not? No. Because we think our duty

is done when we pay over the money.

We never think of even asking how

much the weekly contributions amount

to, and whether this man that we are

paying to make the community better

is getting enough to live on or not.

We leave that to the church trustees,

and they do the best they can with

the money they get. 1



“What is the remedy and where

have we got to begin? Has the preach-

or. got to change his ways or have we

got to change outs? ‘





the pastor was sick but that services

would be held and Mr. Brown would

give an address.





Now it was commonly known that

Mr. Brown and some of his friends

had been seen on numerous Sunday

mornings driving his car toward a. cer-

tain lake, fish poles tied on the side

of the car. To be informed that he

was to address the Sunday morning

church goers, was indeed interesting.

on Sunday morning instead of the

faithful fifteen regular attendants, the

church was full. They even had to

take out the folding chairs, that had

not been disturbed since the Christ-

mas exercises. -





The faithful trustee who had per-

suaded Mr. Brown to address the con—

gregation took charge of the service.

- He asked the choir to lead in singing

hymn No. 102 in the church hymnal,

and asked Elder Swanson to lead in a

word of prayer, followed by the Lord’s

Prayer repeated in unison. This was

followed by an anthem from the choir.

The notices for meetings for the week

were read by Mrs. Jones, president of

the Ladies’ Aid Society.



The trustee then addressed the con-

gregation very briefly explaining their

sorrow on account of their pastor’s

illness and his pleasure in the attend-

ance in spite of the pastor’s absence.





gave in a somewhat crude manner of

delivery, his system of farming. He

had prepared the outline of this speech

beforehand, and while it had taken

him half an hour to deliver' it to his

cows while he was milking that morn-





expectedly large audience, at the end

often minutes he had covered all the

points of his outline.



He looked at his watch and then at

the assembly of neighbors before him.

“Friends,” he said, “That is all of my

speech that I can remember, but it

lsnft all I have got to say. The, most

of you came here out of curiosity, to

see what I’d look like standing here

in a church pulpit. You ccme and lis-

ten to the preacher once or twice a

year to please your wife and the rest

of the Sundays you are helping me,

keep the fish and rabbits from becom-

in; m numerous. And why? ’



“18' it because Christianity and ordi-

nary life are not harmonious? is it





 





 





because the preacher does not make ‘.‘I believe that we have both got to

terflce which he is going to perform

for “1113. First. we must accept our

preacher as a leader in Organization

' work for the community, and he must

act as a leader, not only of church or-

ganizations but of every form of rural

clubs and associations in Which we

are interested.





“We farmers 'are just beginning to.

realize the value of our county agri-

cultural agent as a leader in rural or-

rganization work,

realize his valuethe more we see the

.need' of local leadership along the

same line.



“I ask you, would it be lowering the

» standard or morale of our church

- work, if we asked our preacher to act

in the capacity’of a leader in the or-

ganization of say, a cow-testing asso~

ciation?’ Or a boys' and girls’ calf

club? If our religion and daily activ-

ities won‘t mix to that extent, then it

is about time we found the reason. We

can't make this change all in a min-

ute; some of you are going to hold up

your hands in holy horror the first

time you see us fellows puffing our

corncob pipes and blowing smoke in





the preacher’s face, while he explains





to us the plan of organization of a

stock shipping association.





“Maybe lots of things we do in our

daily life are sins, maybe we ought

not to smoke, maybe we l‘ought not to

go fishing Sunday afternoons. But I

don’t believe many of us will change

our views by being preached to, espe—

cially if those of us that are the worst

offenders won’t come and listen to the

preacher. Our business, social and

relig'ous organizations must be so





closely allied that each is dependent





on the other.





“Now, then, how are we going to

start? We can’t do it, by s11 1ply talk-

ing about it. We’ ve got to get togeth

er and work as a community and for





get some of our individualistic ideas.‘





I’ll suggest that next Sunday morning

we meet here as we have met today,

not just the supporters of the church

but every farmer in the community

and let’s elect a chairman to head the

various phases of our business, social

and religious enterprises, and then

hire our preacher as sort of a commu-

nity agent to act as secretary and as-

sistant to these chairmen.‘

as a. suggestion and will leave it to the

judgment of the church trustees.





“I’ve said a lot more than I intend-

ed to when I came here, and I hope

that I have not offended the religious

views of any.





“I’ve told you in my crude way what

I think is the matter with our commu-

nity. and you can take or pass my

suggestions as you'see fit.”

. The meeting was dismissed and all

went home feeling a little keener in-

terest in the affairs of the community.

The trustees were called together the

next night at the preacher’s home to

discuss the feasibility of Mr. Brown’s

suggestions.

ORMER GOVERNOR GLYNN. and

State Superintendent of Schools

«— John H. Finley, who were recently





York, as a committee to investigate

the Department of Foods and Markets





quire into 'the causes of the high cost

of living, with special reference to

milk, issued a preliminary report on

the milk problem last week, and asked

to be relieved of the task of investi-

-gating the Department of Farms and





   

   





sons be assigned to this duty. Mr.

George Gordon Battle has been ap-

pointed to investigate the department,

and he has already begun work.



The committee says:



“We find that the milk problem has

been investigated and investigated and





   

   

   

   

 





the United States, the New York Coun-

ty District Attorney, several state leg-

islative committees, Mr. Hoover, the

Federal Food Administrator, and a

number of city committees have inves-

tigated it, and some of these agencies

are still investigating it. Moreover,

the district attorney of the county of

New York has advised us that he will

present to the grand jury evidence of

alleged violation of the law in price-

fixing of milk.



“Despite all these investigations the

price of milk has rapidly risen since

1916, and from present indications it

is likely to go still higher during the

coming winter.”



The committee believes that the in-

crease is due in considerable part to

the'causes that have led to high food

prices generally, including the foreign

demand for milk products, but the fair-

ly uniform price to consumers in cities

generally suggests a tendency to force

prices to the maximum. The report

further says:



“On Friday, August 22, bottled milk

sold in New Yory city for sixteen

cents a quart, in Chicago for fifteen

cents, in Boston for fifteen and a half

cents and in. Philadelphia for fourteen

cents—ghis despite the fact that the

average amounts per quart or per hun-

dred paid the farmers who supply the

Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston mar-

kets are, according to reports furnish~

ed us by the State Department of

Farms and Markets, somewhat higher

than those paid the farmers supplying

the New York City market.



What this slight difference in the

price of each quart of milk means to

the people of New'York City may be

estimated from the fact that, in round

numbers, 2,000,000 quarts of milk are

daily consumed in New York City. Of

this, forty-four‘per cent is bottled,

that is, approximately 880,000 quarts

of bottled milk are sold in New York

City daily. This difference. between

the selling price of bottled milk in

Philadelphia, which is fourteen cents

a. quart, and that in New York City,

which is sixteen cents a quart. means

In urging that attention be given pri-

marily to the system and cost of dis-





under the Morley act, and also to in- tribution, the report says:





“So far as we are able to determine,

the farmer, the producer, is not receiv-

ing an exorbitant price for his milk:

indeed, he seems not to have his fair

share of the selling price, for the cost

of bottled milk to the consumer is ap-





, Markets, and suggested that other per- proximately 100 per cent beyond what





the farmer receives.”

The committee recommends that the

governor urge the attorney-general of





the United States to prosecute all vio- .





lations of the interstate commerce act,

in the states contributing to the New

York milk supply, and also that he re-

quire all county district attorneys to

prosecute violations ofvexisting laws

within their respective districts; but it





places special emphasis for the pres- .





ent on a suggestion that the governor

appoint a fair price committee of nine

to establish fair prices between the

dealer and consumer in the city of

New York. This committee would con-

sist of the state commissioner of

health, the city commissioner of health

and the city commissioner of markets,





three‘members to be named by the '





governor, and three by the mayor of

the city. The idea is that this com-

mittee should fix a price to the con-

sumer after the plan adopted by the

federal food authorities during the

war, and recently revived for other

food products. The governor should

also provide for similar committees

in othercities of the state on request

of such cities. _



If this plan fails the committee rec-

ommends a tentative legislative plan,

which would make it possible. for the

state or the municipalities to regulate

the distribution and sale of milk:



1. That there be created a State

Milk Commission to regulate the milk

distribution bu'siness in cities of the

first and second class.



2. That all milk distributors in cit-

ies of the first and second class he re-

quired to secure a license from the

proposed commission, and such com-

mission be authoriged to refuse a li-

cense to any distributor who cannot

establish proof that the business he

proposed to conductyis of public in-

terest.



3. That the proposed commission

be given full power to regulate the

rates which shall be charged on milk

for the service rendered by the distrib-

uting agencies, and to limit the profits

of such agencies to what it may deem

to be a fair and reasonable «return on

the investment. ,



4. That the proposed commission be

given full authority to require the in-

stallation of uniform cost accounting

systems by all distributing agencies in

first and second class cities, and to





inspect and audit such accounts at any





time'.



5. That the commission laid and as-

sist “all municipalities desiring to es-

tablish municipally owned distribution

of milk, and act as an advisory board

and be in position to recommend the

most effective method to be used in es-

tablishing municipal distribution of

milk, including the acquisition of pri-

vately owned distributing systems.

a BEFORE allownig. the cows to be-





‘gin on the accumulation of the





7 season’s crops,“ why not know "if ‘

they are'the kind of cows that can pay





their board. Many farmers lose mon-

ey in the dairy business by spending

most of the year in growing feed to be.

used for a herd that is not producing'

a paying amount of milk. i



But he sure that there is nothing





wrdng with the methdd of housing and '

feeding the cows before they are dis-f .

carded as boarders that do not pay-





their bills. Much depends on the own-

er of the cows and sometimes good

cows produce much’ less than they}

should because they are given poor





‘ care.





The) Holstein cows which received.





the ' fraudulent records were given' ’





about as mean a deal as man can give

an animal. Their. reputations were:

smirched when they were doing‘thein

best. However, it will not injure the-

honest breeders because they _have

good cows that produce profitably and

the great Holstein breed is strongly

enough intrenched with hard working

farmers to enable them to stand the

shock. Possibly it will be for the best‘

in the end and Wake up breeders to

the foolishness of cramming an animal

for seven days solely for the purpose

of making a good record for advertis-

ing regardless of whether the milk was





’1 produced at a profit or not.





Cows are often considered machines

which can be stuffed with raw mate-

rials without limit and then produce a

finished product to which there is also

no limit. This is not exactly right. A"

machine is without life and feeling but7

a cow is an animal with a highly de-

veloped nervous temperament that re-

sponds or fails to respond, according

to the treatment received. That is

why some farmers do so much' better:

with COWS than other farmers. The

successful breeders study their é‘éws‘

as individuals and try to keep them

contented and satisfied and free from

abuse. They know that there is more‘

to dairy management than “stuffing

the machine.”



Shouting around the stables will dis-"

turb cows and reduceIthe flow of milk.

A dog that is not well trained will

bring the cattle to the barn on the run

or worry them all the way from the’

field. This is not good for milk pro-

duction. During the fly season cows

will kick even-though their disposition

is gentle and nothing is gained by mas-

saging the poor animal with the milk

stool to make her stand still. The cow

that is not, afraid of her master but‘

respects him is apt. to be the gentle





kind of a cow which does not kick or - é





bunt but comes quietly to the barn

and stands patiently in her position

during the process of milking.



Many dairymen' received their first

desire to own good cows by visiting

the fairs and stock shows. The farmer

who seldom sees good stock is apt to

become thoroughly satisfied with his

own cows and so neglects to make an

effort at improvement. After a ~visit

to a good fair the ”picture of cows of

fine type will remain. Then it is only

a step to the desire for better cows on

the home farm.



A start with pure-bred cows is more

a matter of time than money. If there

is a registered bull in the neighbor:

hood the purchase of one pure-bred

heifer will enable» a farmer to start a

pure-bred herd if he has patience. As

the progeny of this heifer increase and





reach the milking age the grade cows





can he gradually sold. Soon the 'farm-

er finds that he’is on the road to the-





pure-bred stock business, although the





investment has been a very few hun-‘

dred dollars.- Just think of the things

that you might have done ten years

ago and realize what they might mean

HE Michigan State Farm Bu-

reau organization has an active

home economics department. It

is under the leadership of Flora C.

Buell, of Ann Arbor, who sends in the

following notes. They will suggest to

readers a little of the valuable ser:

vice that an efficient organization of

this character can be to home-makers.





ference, vMiss Binzel, a specialist in

kindergarten work, told of 'many per-

sOnal experiences when parents did

not deal with their children ast they

were human beings. They were toys,

to be played with for amusement, dolls

to be prettily decked, but not chil-

dren, to be studied with a real inter-

est. They are made nervous wrecks

at two years, and their natures are of—_

ten permanently marred by being per-

mitted to tease, dictate, or to disobey.

The old methods of discipline and

breaking a child’s will have too often

giVen place to the other extreme, in-

_ stead of dealing with him as a devel-

oping being, and meeting him On his

own plane.



We have been giving much atten-

tion to the physical welfare of the

babies without thought for their dis-

positional training. Some states are

recognizing this subject as of vital im-

portance in a course of study for home

makers, and are including a short ser-

ies of carefully prepared lectures for

the students who are to be the future

mothers and leaders.





Mothers who will never be within

college halls need it just as much, and

it is ‘for the Home. Economic leaders

of the farm bureau to bring to them

the °best available helps along this

line. Circulate magazines and books

having to do with the training of the

little ones, visit libraries to find the

best ones, ask experienced mothers to

prepare papers and help in the dis-

cussion. Among many good books 'for

young mothers that Miss Binzel, vice-

president of the International Kinder-

garten Union. mentioned was “Play in

the FirSt Eight Years,” by Luella Pal-

mer, Supervisor of Kindergartens in

New York City. This can be ordered

by any book dealer.



When we see a plant that shows

signs of having taken root and grow-

ing, there is a’ thrill of satisfaction

that it is lasting. Thus comes a let-

ter from a young leader in a club.

“We had such a good meeting of the

Study Club this ~week. It certainly

showed home spirit all right. I read

a paper which I have enclosed to you.

Home Economic experiences were giv-

en by everyone as response to roll-

call; just common everyday things

which count so much for the house‘-

wife. A splendid paper on the ‘Coun-

try Church,’ and another, ‘The Coun-

try School as a Community Center,’

were given. . a , .

“Our club needs materials and ideas

to follow out. I should like ”to‘ get the





2, book. on .‘Househom' Engineering’ to

g circulate .- in, the club. Have you any

. more, of .thOSe "Outlines? .fer such





workers to follow 2"”:

bers themselves seek; prepare and pre-

sent. the topics. Abundant material





may be had. . . ‘ ,

for the benefit of the homes. In one

we read the following:



“No question is of greater import-

ance to the family than the farm’s

water supply and the disposal of its

sewage. The prospective builder

should make certain that these prob-





lems are solved before he does any?





thing else, for they lie at the founda-

tion .of the entire- household’s health

and comfort." * ,



Meetings on. Wheels.



Why not have a. “Home Conven-

ience" tour? Invite the neighbors to

bring their picnic baskets and gather

for a ride about the community, stop-

ping at homes that have been. listed

for their inspection. The leader should

search out such things as a good wa-

ter system, a disposal plant, a self-

made electric lighting plant, an acety-

lene gas machine, a kerosene stove, a

power washer, a fireless cooker, a.

churn and other articles run by a gas-

oline engine, a vacuum cleaner and

easy means of cleaning the rugs and

floor, a steam cooker, a step-saving

kitchen, a bread mixer, or a. collection

of small implements for cleaning of

fruits and vegetables, and for washing

dishes. .



Invitations to have the party~call to

inspect the special scheme at each

home, may be secured, and the host-

esses asked to present the advantages

derived. Stop at a grove or shady

yard for lunch together.



Some of the points to be gained:

1. Opportunities to see and hear

about the improvements made by the

neighbors. 2. Discussion along the way

as to other methods. 3. Stimulates

pride in an improved, p0sseSsion. 4.

Arouses a desire to keep in step with

others in gaining benefits.

Any' local woman’s organization

might use this suggestion for one of

its meetings. Try it and let us hear

about it.

making wate‘rnmlon preserves.





VThere are many kinds of pickles, ::

both sweet and sour, which may be "





made this fall. Perhaps the small can-

ning pickles. can not be found in the

markets now but the large ones make

good pickles. ;Then try sweet pickled

carrots; they will be new and differ-

ent and there is not a vegetable that

grows that is considered more health-

ful. Pickled onions are a delicacy; the

small ones from seed sown this year





are the best. As a guest at a hotel.





recently where ‘invalids were housed

and fed, it was a surprise to find that





onions were served in four different





dishes at that meal. The onion is too

often left out of our diet.



It is hardly praCtical for the farm-

er’s wife to can pumpkin, squash, car-

rots and some of the other tuber veg-

etables. but the city w0man does not

as a rule have as good a fruit pit or

cellar for storing these things.



The canning or meats and chicken

is practical, as they may be canned

when the weather is cold or feed high,

and when the open weather comes you

have your meat stored away safely in

the cellar. Complete directions may

be had from the Department of Agri-

culture, Division of Publications, at

Washington, D. C., or from the Home

Demonstration Agent or County Agri-

cultural Agent. Watch for canning

demonstrations and suggestions at

your county fair this year.



Another thought about canning that

perhaps some of us have never given

consideration is the community can-

ning center. In some lecalities a com-

munity canning center has been es-

tablished which has proven a great

help to the busy housewife. Many

times an unavoidable call from duty





leaves something to spoil; where one '





of the canning centers is in operation

the fruit or vegetable may be taken to-

gether with the cans and other mate-

rial, and the product is saved. A small

fee is usually chargedvto cover ex-

penses. The girls do the work shnply

for the experience it gives them. They

usually work in teams under a compe-





and it there is not a canning center in

your community this year plan to have

one next year. Much good can be ac-

complished by such moperation.

' the heart of the one who reads it.





 





 





 





 





1 BITE to us when you get out

there. You will, won’t you?”

.“I sure will; and you must,





answer every Letter I send you. ”





So the greetings ,go every day. Un-

cle Sam’s sacks are crowded with let-

ters seven days in the "week coming

and going across the country, yes, and

round the world. Business letters, let-

ters of friendship and deeper affection

and letters that can scarcely be said

to have any purpose, save to while

away the spare moments of those who

Write them and these to whom they

are sent. »



And every one of these letters has

its stery to tell of the character of





those who pen them. This is a thing





we sometimes forget when we sit

down to talk with one who is far dis-

tant, through the silent yet powerful

medium .of pen and ink. We smile

when we write some letters, thinking





perhaps we may have said a thing





that will help us to “get even” with

the one who will read it; but he

does not smile. His heart may be bit-

ter from the day when he receives the

letter you wrote with So much satis‘é

faction. It is a serious matter to write

a letter. Never do it lightly.



It happened that I saw some letters

written by a girl to one of her boy

friends in college. You would think

one who was enjoying the privilege of

getting a good education would of all

persons be most choice of her words

and say only the things which would

help and make happy. But those let-

ters were packed full of slang. Very

little of good commonsense could be

found in them. I could not help won-

dering what sort of an answer the boy

who received the letters would make

to them. One thing is certain. If he

is a sensible fellow not many such let-

ters will come to him from that girl.

He will stop corresponding with her

and seek some girl who thinks enough

of her good name to put down on pa-

per the best thoughts she has.



Now, I do not ,mean that one never

should write anything 'but staid, mat-

ter of fact letters. A bright, cheery.

letter, full of wit of the right kind,

telling of the every-day matters of life

may bring rest, happiness and good

cheer to those who will read it. Young





their letters may partake of their na-

ture. Everybody likes to get a letter

from a cheery, happy hearted girl er

boy.. But with the sparkling words

there may well be mingled some of

more serious import. ’



Some day or other you will be tempt-

ed to write a letter that will rankle in

It

may be he has really injured your feel-

gings You may have a real grievance





 





against mm. But think a long time





\letters sooner or later.

letters carry words that endure. More

than once temptation of that, kind has

come to me, and I have thought after

I had written my letter of resentment

that I had done something that would

bring me great peace of mind. But :11-

ways whenever I have sent such a let-‘

ter, as I have a few times in my life,’

I have suffered for it far more than‘did

the one to whom I wrote. So that or

late years it has been my custom nev-

er to write a letter of that kind, or if

I did. not to send it until. the day af-

terward, It is wonderful, how differ-

ent your ,own letters sound to you af-

ter you have slept over them. Do that

when you are tempted to send a spite-

ful letter, and I willwenture to say

that you never will put them in the

mail. Far more likely will you be. to

dr0p them in the stove. .

Then, too, you will surely be. face to

face with the task of writing business





Boys WholAttended the Michigan State Fair School.





It is a good

plan to be very careful about such

communications. Be kindly courteous,

but do not commit yourself to any-

thing you do not mean. A single word

may be-misinterpreted. Therefore it

is well to weigh one’s words carefully.

See that they mean just what you

wish them to mean. It is well to write

what you haire to say on a separate

piece of paper and then read it over

and see if it is just as you intend it to

be. Take great pains in the choice of

your words. It may be the letter you

write will gain friends for yo'u and

stand you in good stead in the day

when you need help. Your letter writ-

ten to your satisfaction, keep a copy

of it, in case it bears upon a subject

that will lead to future correspond-

ence.



One of the finest purposes to which

letter writing can. be put is that of

conveying messages of congratulation ‘

for some good fortune, or words of

sorrow for trouble sustained by anoth-

er. I do not know what -I would do

were it not for these letters. They

come to me from far and near, from

those I never have seen and never will

see in this world. Some of them tell.

me of help that has come from some

word I have written. Others seek ad~





vice of one kind or' another. These let-

folks are naturally happyhearted and “ters I cherish, especially those from





young folks. They are a bright spot

in my life. ‘No one can measure the.

value of letters of this kind, letters of

hope, of encouragement, of good cheer

generally, and I would be glad to know

that everyone of the boys and girls.

who read what I am new writing were

led to begin now to send letters of this '

kind. It is a hQIn to charogter building . ,

Can an inexperienced man run





a billion dollar





Under the proposed Kenyon

bill the packing industry

would be placed at the abso-

lute command of a govern-

ment official who would

probably be without practi-

cable experience.





The packers have never been

able to hire enough brain:r

executives of life-long experi-

ence to do the work and

make the decisions this one

man would have to make.





This political appointee will

have the privilege of experi-

menting—with other people’s

money.





He can try out schemes that





meat business? ,





may ruin the stock-raising

industry—because if the

packers suffer, so will the

country’s livestockmen.





He is to be placed despotically



in power over property owned



by, thousands of stockholders ‘

——with the owners getting

the privilege of paying for

the losses that may occur.





Is this fair to a business it has

taken fifty years to build up?

Fair to thousands of people

who have invested their'

money? Is it safe, too, for

the live stock industry to

have the business tampered

with by an amateur?

. 'IWH'ENAWe built over'our house and





"r. say two-by-four, while others were , a





 

 





 





   

 





barn we had a. great; many odd "5

pieces of lumber that'ycould not be" 1 ,- _

worked into the, building. Some of , l



these were not more than a foot long, . ‘





timbers eight inches square and eight '3

or ten .Teet long, left from' the frame ' '

of .the barn. Many, bits .of plankpahd

board also came .. to light during the

course of the carpenter work. ‘f {'- ' _

There was actemptation to use upffa ‘- '

great many of these stray pieces of

lumber for kindling» and they wwb'ild

have made good wood; butl .made up



my mind that we would save them all,



so we carried them away and piled

them up in a snug heap, the larger

timbers at the bottom and crossed up



so that the air could circulate through

them and keep any. from rotting. Over



the whole pile I laid ”some boards,

forming a sort of a roof.





It was surprising how handy those

pieces of boards and scantling were.

Scarcely a day passed that we did not

make one or more excursions to it.

From those odds and ends I made a ‘

good rack for feeding sheep, scarcely

any lumber at all besides being neces-

sary. The larger timbers, every one

came into play sooner or later. Part

of them .are now in a milk house, a

granary and a henhouse. And they

were the means of saving us a good

deal of money first and last. The pile

is pretty much gone now, and we miss .

it greatly. ;



In these days when lumber is so ' ‘

scarce and high in price, not a bit

should go to waste. E. L. V.

commission.





7. That the proposed commission 3

promote cooperation between the pro- .‘

ducing and distributing elements of

the milk industry; that it make from

time to time investgiation of the cost

of producing milk, and publish for the

information of the public data as to

volume and cost of production. in this

state; that it conduct educational cam~

paigns for promoting the wider use of

milk as a food and cooperate with mu-

nicipal health departments and other

agencies in making special studies of

the need of the greater use of milk in ~

the feeding of children. J





8. That the commission make spe. '-

cial study of the problem of providing



milk at a minimum cost to the chil-



dren of the poorer sections of the larg-



er citiesfand cooperate with the muni-



cipal departments of health in provid-



ing milk for the feeding of infants at



the lowest possible cost.





9. That the commission cooperate

with the New York City Department

of Health to make a special study of

the conditions under which loose milk

is sold in the city, and endeavor to

eliminate all possible danger of con-

tamination of milk sold in this manner.





10. That the proposed commission

be empowered to revoke a dealer’s li—

cense for due cause after public hear-

‘ing and after due notice in writing.





_ 11. That any municipality in addi-

tion to cities of the first and second

class may by formal action of the gov-

erning body of the municipality place

itself under the jurisdiction of this

commission. .

The New .York .milk problem is also

» .being investigated by the Federal De-

; partment of Justice, by the Federal

Trade Commission, and by a special

, grand jury in the city of New York. ‘

seemed to realize that the plainer

grades of hogs were relatively cheap

creased. causing a ‘stronger price tone.

At the same time supplies dwindled.

However, shortly after, the better

grades were subject to a decline while

cheaper grades held steady. This caus-

ed considerable contraction in the

price range The plainer grades are

expected to be in moderate supply in

the future and men in the trade feel

that the cheaper grades have dropped

to their low point and better grades

will be drawn down and put in line

the time of year when the price range

FEEDING LAMBS IN DEMAND.





 





HIS’isfi the time of the year when



western range sheepmen ship

stock' freely. This year more than

normal they are liquidating in a free

manner because of feed shortages in

most sections. The result is a lot of

thin lar‘nbs 0n the markets that are

ideal for corn belt grazing and feed-





‘ing. The feed shortage makes the





number of thin grades larger than us-

ual while breeding stock has also been

plentiful in the supplies



Corn belt feeders me not overlook-





‘ ing the opportunity to stock up at this





time. At the markets where the range

stock is being offered, feeders from

Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois,

Iowa, and from sections throughout

the New England states are among

the buyers. The recent decline in

prices put feeding stock down to a

level that looked attractive to the buy—

ers. Range men claim the crop from

the. western country will be small next

year but it appears that mid-west and

eastern feeders -. will have a. liberal

number from the buying they are do-

ing at present. ‘ .W. W. F.

FALL DAIRY OBSERVATIONS.

time to start. The year 1929 seems

far away, but the year 1909'seems only

yesterday. One of the things that will





determine the strength of a. farmer’s .





dairy business in 1929 is apt to be a.

start with quality pure-bred stock in

the year 1919.



The high prices paid for certain

purebred animals often leads a farmer





to believe that nothing in the pure-‘





bred line can be obtained without the

spending of a fortune. Some of these

high' prices are given too much pub-'

licity and they represent the figures

paid by wealthy men who buy cattle





er than as a means to making money

from milk production. What the aver-V

age farm community needs is more;





mire-bred _ cows and more pure-bred 4





bulls at moderate prices so that they

can be purchased for money that

makes them a safe and profitable in-

vestment. Maybe the Holstein inves-

tigations will wake up some breeders

to the dangers of paying exorbitant

prices for cattle with short testing

records. The foundation of the dairy

business is based on milk and butter!

production and not on fabulous prices

paid for a few individuals. ‘

Try and estimate the winter’s feed

requirements in the {all when extra

“SCRUBS" cost more in the long run. no

matter how little you worry or care

about them. A puwbred cow that is

registered pays many times over.

If routine Jerseys now thatue pure bred,

orit you contemplate getting Jerseys, let

u nail full information and application

blanks for registering. The registering

cost is a trifle when you consider how

It adds to the value of the cow or calf.

SECOND EDITION.





The markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Thursday af-

‘ternoon, September 18.





WHEAT.





The tone in the grain market at yes-

terday’s opening was weak and lower

prices came at the start, but later in





 





the day buying increased and a firmer $5 50





market resulted. Wheat receipts on

Wednesday were three cars as against

nine cars a year ago. Shipments

were 4,000 bushels. Stocks are 81,000

bushels, against 24,000 a year ago. The

present prices on the Detroit market

are: .

No. 3 red OOOOOOOOO'ICO. 2018





CORN.





Detroit corn had a break of ten

cents to start the week and the day

was almost half over before the bull-

ish influences had any noticeable ef-

fect on corn. Notwithstanding reports

that the steel strike had been postpon-

ed corn values-at first continued weak

being dominated by agitation for low-

er food cost. Upturns in the value of

hogs were also temporarily ignored.

0n ensuing declines in the corn mar-

ket, however, offerings passed into

strong hands. Then the shorts scur-

ried to cover and the rest of the day

the buying side was the favorite. Gos-

sip that Germany had received Ameri-

can credit counted to some extent as

a bullish factor. Chicago reported a.

better eastern demand for corn. One

year ago No. 3 corn sold on the local

market at $1.60 per bushel. Present

prices are:



No.3 corn .............$1.44

No. 3 yBIIOW'IIOOOIOOCOO 1046

No. 4 yelloWOOCCCOIOCCI. 1.44

No. 5 yelloWOIOIIQIOOOO. 1043





OATS.





Oats were easy on yesterday’s mar-

ket and lost one cent. There is little

demand for local consumption. Yes-

terday’s receipts were fifteen cars.

Shipments were 4,000 bushels. The

visible supply in the United States in-

creased 454,000 bushels. Standard

oats were quoted on the local market

a. year ago at 71140. The present quo-

tations at Detroit are:



No. 2 white ......... 7

No. 3 white ......... 691/2@7





RYE.





There was some export inquiry for

rye this week, and values advanced

one cent. The present price as quoted

at Detroit for Cash No. 2 is $1.40.





BARLEY.





The price quoted on barley remains

unchanged from last week, with Cash

No. 3 selling for $2.40@2.50 per cwt.

The visible supply has decreased 802,-





000 bushels.

‘ BEANS.





The bean market is generally inac-

tive and easy. There is practically

‘no speculative activity and no export

business. However, holders have

shown little inclination to cut prices

in an effort to reduce stocks before

. the new crop comes on the market.

‘At Detroit the market is slow at

$7.60 for immediate and prompt ship-

ment. In New York pea beans are in

slow demand at $8.50 per cwt. for

choice. Reports of yields from south-

ern bean growing sections of the coun-

try are not encouraging.





POTATOES.





The commercial crop in Michigan.

Wisconsin and Minnesota is develop-

ing favorably, except that same dis-

tricts are suffering from a lack of

moisture. No frost has been reported

as yet. Large shipments from the east

continue to come to Michigan cities.

At Detroit, New Jersey Giants bring

$4.50 per 150-pound sack; at Chicago

SEEDS.





The movement of seed is increasing

and the market is firm. At Detroit

prime red clover is higher at $29.75;

October $30; alsike $24.75; timothy





HAY.





Hay is steady with fair receipts and

a good demand at the following quota-

tions: No. 1 timothy $29.50@30; stan-

dard and light mixed $28.50@29; No.

2 timothy $27.50@28; No. 1 clover at

$24@25.



Pittsburgh—Receipts of the better

grades of hay are scarce with an ac-

tive demand. In this market there is

an exceptional demand for clover mix-

ed hay.. Quotations are: No. 1 tim-

othy $33@33.50; No. 1 light mixed at

$29.50@30.50; No. 1 clover mixed at

$30.50@31.50; No. 1 clover at $30.50@

BUTTER.





Production of butter is being well

sustained, and there is a strong de-

mand for the better grades. At De-

troit fresh creameries have advanced

to 53%@54c; in New York the range

for creamery extras is 58@591/éc per





1b; firsts 51%@57%c; in Chicago but-

ter is higher, with the quotations‘for

creamery at 47@551;§c; in Philadel-

phia western creamery extras bring





581,40.

CHEESE.





The demand for cheese is somewhat

uncertain owing o the fact that large

quantities of cheese are known to be

held in storage, and buyers are reluc-

tant to increase their holdings at this

time. At Detroit,'Michigan' flats are

steady at 33c per lb; single daisies at

300; brick 341760., At New .York the

market is weak, whole milk specials

. WOOL





Statistics on the amount of wool

sold and average prices obtained by





the United States government are.





according to figures submitted by the

War Department, as follows: From

‘November 23, 1918, to August 16, 1919,

325,493,677 pounds of wool were dis-

posed of, for which the proceeds were

$197,330,793, at an average price of 61

cents per pound. For this period, the

average selling price of 61 cents was

10 cents less than the total average

purchase price of 71 cents per pound.

Quotations for unwashed delaines in

the seaboard markets are: Ohio 83@

85c; Michigan 75@800; half-bloods

are quoted at from 78@80c. ‘





GRAND RAPIDS





The ensilage crop is larger than us...

ual this year. Many farmers have fill-

ed their silos. The price of potatoes

on the city market last week was $1.75

@2 per bushel. At some outside points

farmers are paid $2.50 per cwt. More

grapes are being shipped this year in-

to the copper country, upper peninsu-

la, than ever before. Six cars were

forwarded last week. Growers are be-

ing paid $1.75 per bushel. The onion

crop in some sections of this part of

the state is light and very small. and

invariably strong, due to the weather.

Rain the past week enabled farmers to

complete their fall plowing. Further

reports on the bean crop indicate that

it will be near normal. Some growers

report a yield of 26 bushels per acre.

The price is still $7 per cwt to grow-

ers. Many farmers now sell their milk

and cream and buy oleo. Very little

No. 1 dairy butter is marketed. Make

get 45 cents per pound. ~

Infected Udders.—Have some cows

that are much troubled with inflamed

and caked udders. Have them treated

by. our local V at, who prescribed both

internal and external treatment but it

failed to give them permanent relief.

These cows have been milked by dif-

frent men. J. B., Holland, Mich—Con-

tagious inflammation of. the udder is

perhaps what you have in your dairy.

The, general treatment is keeping the

bowels open, giving 1,9,» oz. doses of

hyposulphite of soda to each cow

daily. Keep the stable clean, milk the

well cows first and wash the udder of

diseased cows with one part bichloride

mercury and two thousand parts tepid

water after each milking. lime

tice I often apply one part fluid ex-

tract of poke, one part fluid extract of'

belladonna and ten parts of olive oil

to caked udder once or twice a.day. It

is well to keep in mind that such ud-

der ailments as you mention are in-

curable. -



Pica—Licking Disease—4 have been

told that cattle that eat silage for any

great length of time will crave wood

and bark of trees. My cattle have

plenty of salt, but are seemingly fond

of wood. Will y'Ou tell me the cause

and remedy? .G. 0., Standish, Mich.—

Cattle that are continuously stabled.

fed the same kind of food and who

have no exercise, are most likely to

suffer from this perversion of appe-

tite, but it is not always an easy‘tfibk

to tell the cause. Keeping cattle out

Oi, doors on dry ground. feeding a well

balanced ration isone of the, prevent»

tives. Mix together '34 1b.. of cannon

D and lambs, the lfitter have recov-

ered mm the recent low time. When

pricesJedmed, lambs were selling

comparatively low to aged and year-

ling sheep, but the recent upturn wru-

sued the range and put lamb offerings

on a stable basis compared with other

offerings. The recent reaction makes

the feeding lambs which were pur-

chased on the low time look worth the

money. ' W. W. F.





 





CATTLE FEEDERS UN EASY.





 





ANY cattle feeders have not yet



put in their supply of feeding

cattle because they are uneasy over

the situation. They feel that with all

the talk of cutting costs and the agi-

tation against the packers, the situa-

tion does not look good to them. They

fear that with the public being drilled

to look for lower prices that their bus-

iness does not look promising unless

they can buy feeding stock at a rather

low. level. However, the uneasiness

is not confined to the cattle feeders

as many hog feeders seem disposed to

get lid of their stock to avoid addi-

tional breaks. This feeling is partly

due for the liberal receipts dining re-

Cent days. W. W. F.





 





NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.





Butter. ——Receipts of butter have

been rather high this week as compar-

ed to last, 78, 959 packages having been

received this week while 48, 811 were

received last week. However, about

twenty carloads of the butter received

this week were from interior points

where it had been puichased some

time ago for shipment abroad. It is

in this city at preSent awaiting ship-

ping space for transportation abroad.

The market for high quality butter

has been firm and active throughout

the week. There seems to be a decid-

edly strong demand for best grades of

butter but medium [0 poorei grades

find no buyers. There is an influx of

centralized butter to this market at-

present but it is selling to decidedly

poor advantage, in fact, scaicely any

of it is moving at all.





hand at present that an active export

demand is about the only thing that

will keep the market from becoming

demoralized on under ..grades

half a cent. Quotations at the close

Cheese—The cheese market has‘

thrmighout the week. Accumulations

arable September cheese. There has?
