SPIRIT is abroad in the land. Because He is spirit, he

is invisible; .yet His influenCe is very potent. His foot

‘steps pass over the hearts of men and women and
children, and the prints they leave are those of love and
peace, and good will to men. Few fail to recognize and greet
Him in some degree~—their gentle, royal, self-respecting
Guest.

The little children love Him, and welcome His advent
with joy. They are so close to the great Heart of God, the
little ones! They take the gifts of the Spirit with out-
stretched hand and happy grateful hearts. It is their time
to take,- and no one receives more naturally and gracefully
than a little child.. The words, “It is more blessed to give
than to receive,” pass over their heads now; but the time
will come when they, acting as the stewards of the Spirit of
Christmas, will return to His store all they have been given.

The Spirit’s visitation lasts not for the day alone. His
benign shadow precedes His coming by days, and even by
weeks in some cases; and for a long time afterward His
influence continues to haunt thé hearts of men. He is every-
where. He is the arch-enemy of selfishness, the encourager
of “selflessness.” Only gifts inspired by free and fond affec-

tion are good in His sight.
It may seem that He is- most often found in the
large cites, where the streets teem with the pre-
Christmas rush of shoppers. Certainly His
effulgence is reflected back from many shin-
ing faces on the thOroughfare of: trade——
reflected with more intensity perhaps than
from a single unit—but this is only as a
thousand candles grouped give more light
than a lonely one. The Spirit hovers with

especial tenderness over some farmhouse or some remote
cottage in which His soul is seen and greeted with a true
and unhurried welcorne. The limp and much‘darned stocka
ings of some poor child awaiting the transforming touch of
the parents, His stewards, is very lovely to the Spirit; much
more lovely than the ostentatious Christmas gifts of some
more favored littleone, already spoiled and irritable because
of too many toys. The incense of self-denial, born of love,
is very sweet in the nostrils of the Spirit of Christmas.
The harmonious and happy gathering around some simple
board is pleasanter to Him than the banquet table where
love and mutual appreciation are not.

The true meaning of the Christmas-tide is not compre-
hended by anyone who spoils the day by gluttony and sel-
fishness, without acknowledging the Christ—Child’s Day by
thought of others. The Spirit turns sadly away from such
as these—they know Him not. He wants a growing con-
sciousness of brotherhood, of the privileges connected with
giving, of the blessing of friends and relatives, of the deep
meaning that thrills all departments of life. All these things
are made known with a new significance to the responsive
soul, in the barren December days when the heart turns to-
ward the altar of. the home fireside; when the mind is
thoughtful, and the soul teachable. In those darkest '
and shortest days of the year men draw nearer to the
Maker of things and men—far closer than
in the sensuous days of summer, when all
nature seems to conSpire to make us forget
the true meaning of life and death and sor-
row and separation. At Christmas men and
women turn with renewed afiection to their

t h e dlfllculties

D" 9‘“ s which the country has
of Class faced as a result of
Radicalum recent labor troubles

have been dueeto'the
ascendancy of the radical element in
the labor organintions through which
istrlkes have occurred. Radicalism is
but another name to! cities selfishness.
It does not. take into account the rigth
of others who are cuts“ the class
whh which the radical thinker is anil-
iated. It was the radical element
among the membership of the miners’
organization which‘ precipitated ,the
strike of coal miners at the beginning
of the winter sea-n when the 'coun4
try’s fuel needs were urgent, which pre-
vented an earlier settlement of the
controversy and which opposed the set-
tlement which was resend through
the influence of the more conservative
element in the organization.

There is no doubt that the attitude
of this radical element in labor organ-
izations, which has little or no regard
for the rights of the public so long as
.its own point is gained, has cost or-

gmhed labor a large measure of the .

favorable public opinion which it tor-
mcrly enjoyed, just as selfish class ac
tion is bound to react in every case.
The public is still fair and will still
stand for and insist upon justice for
the working man, but it will also de-
, mend protection from radicalism
which will not make it easily possible
for the radical element of coal miners
to again threaten a tie-up of the coun-
try’s industries which would entail a
general condition of unemployment and
suffering among all the people.

What is needed is more sound, un-
selfish thinking by people of all class-
es; Selfish thinking and. selfish actions
are certain to bring damaging more
time to the persons or classes indulg-
ing in them. Constructive thought and
action which will benefit the country
and all its people is what is needed.
am will go farther toward advancing
the interests of any and every class
than will class radicalism.

Practically all of our farmers and
manufacturers“ could ‘ increase their
production should the demand require
it. Foreign trade is that demand. It
provides a profitable market for any
surplus of food and manufactured pro:
ducts. Farmer, manufacturer and lab-
orer—none can long survive the loss
of export trade and prosper. If we
will all keep our heads and not be led

on by the idea that legislation and or- '

sanitation can be safely substituted
for the operation of natural laws, the
gradual leveling of prices will come
about without unnecessary industrial
and commercial revolution. That goes
for the laborer and capitalist as well
as the farmer.

AEVER were con-
ditions more fav-

Commercral orable for commercial
Apple orchard planting than
Orcharchng they are today. Good

apples are sure to find
a ready market at good prices tor
many years to come. The fruit grow‘
er of this state, however. must pro-
duce a better quality than in the past,
and will probably have to specialize
upon a few good varieties to regain his
home markets and capture new ones.
Success in commercial apple growing
depends upm selecting a few varie-
ties of known value and obtaining a’
large output of quality fruit per acre.
Good apples that meet the dmands oi‘
the best markets will sell readily, but
unknown varieties, even though the
quality is excellent, will be difficult to
move, and will not bring such good
prices, while varieties of average merit
will prove a drug on the market, and
should not be considered for the com-
mercial orchard.

The adaptability of our 5011» and cli-
mate to different varieties as well as
the demands of our nearby large city
markets should be carefully studied

before deciding. which varieties should ,

be planted. Some varieties» appear to
possess excellence, yet they fall to
bear profitable crops oi fruit. or to
find a ready sale years when they do
produce good crops. As a general prop-
osition it is well to have four or live
varieties which will. aid in. W

prudent, it is appropriate that the»

bud-cu of these enthusiastic mem-
bers be given. consideration by the
goof folks of our farms. While it can

hardlybe expected thatfie planting:

of not trees will ever: become as gen-
erates the growing of some of our ms.
for fruits, there are a number of rea-
sons for believing that the production
of nuts, in Michigarf will increase and
that the aggregate value of the annual
crops in years to course will be colloid»
erable. The tremdou increase in

the consumption of nuts has advanced

prices to ver‘y attractive levels; nuts
supply a. type of vegetative food that
needed in our diet; more desirable
varieties are being developed; the
soils and climate of our state are pe-
culiarly adapted to a number of promi-
nent varieties; and where the trees
fail to produce satisfactory crops the
timber developed'is of no mean eco-
nomic value. 011 waste lands that can—
not be profitably devoted to other pur-
poses, along the roadside, in parks and
about country homes, the possibilities
of this somewhat new line of produc-
tion are Worthy of thoughtful consider-
ation. This is peculiarly true when we
take into account with the natural ad-
vantages obtaining, the fact that of all
the states of the union Michigan is the
only one that has on its statute books
a law encouraging the planting of nut
trees along the roadside.

Loans that, like most laws

establishing new in-
stitntions or reactions, it needs to be
changed to meet the conditions en-
countered in its execution. One of the
changes in the law which the oficers
of the fideral land banks deem essen-
tial is the abolition of the provision for
joint stock land banks The profits
derived from the operation of these
banks are so large that it is feared
that brokerage concerns that have ex-
ploited farmers to: years will reorgan-
ize .as joint stock land banks to con-
tinue their profitable operation. An-
other change which some of these men
think desirable is an increase inthe
limit of individual turns to $25,000 in
order to properly finance the most prof-

At a recent conference with Presi-

proposed to take an early rotor-min

the passage of the Smoot bill, now

ThiS‘is an exanlple of the benoflmal
activities which are open to this great
farmers’ organization for eflecuve
work in behalf of American agricul
ture. We predict a large field of use—

T is quite evident that crop rotation
I is possible only when two or more

crops are grown. A common idea
prevails that if a farmer wishes to
practice rotation of crops he must di-
vide his farm into as many fields as
there are years in" the rotation: For
example, if a four-year rotation is plan-
ned, he must divide his whole farm
into four fields, and into three fields if
a three-year rotation is desired. In
practice, however, things work out
quiteldifierently. In some cases it is
easy to establish a fixed rotation for
the whole farm. Take an eighty-five-

acre farm, for eXample; if it is compar-
atively level and has uniform soil, it
could very easily be laid out into four
twenty-acre fields and cropped as fol-
lows:

Field One.—..—First year corn;
year oats; third year clover;
year pasture. '

Field Two.—First year oats; second
year clover; third year pasture; fourth
year corn.

Field Three—First year clover; sec-
ond year pasture; third‘ year com;
fourth year oats.

Field Four.-——First year pasture; sec-
ond year corn; third year oats; fourth
year clover.

On a seventy-acre farm a fixed three-
year rotation can be established by
dividing it into three twenty-two-acre
fields.

This is the application of crop rota-
tion in its simplest form. There are
comparatively few farms, however, on
which such simple arrangements of
fields can be made. In most cases two
or more different rotations are neces-
sary on each farm, because of certain
soiland cropping conditions. It is pos-
sible to practice a three-year, a four-
year, a five-year and a six-year rota-
tion all on a one hundred and sixty
acre farm in order to best meet the
soil and crop problems. The farm need
not be dinided into eighteen fields eith-
er, but rather into only eight fields of
about twenty acres each.

Factors Which Determine Rotation.

In determining the proper rotations
on any particular farm the following
factors should be taken into consider-
ation:

(a) The amount of feed required-—
hay, corn and grain.

(h) The kind and acreage of cash
crops to be grown.

second

(c) The. topography of the farm. "

whether level or hilly.
((1) Soil conditions.

'_ .teeds required determine the kinds;3 and ,

:- aired in addition to permanent»

fourth .

pasture the rotation problem may be
easily solved. If pasture in rotation
must be provided, or more acres of
corn than grain, the rotation plans be-
come more difiicult to work out. In
addition to growing crops for feed,
cash crops are cemmonly grown, such
as beans, barley, sugar beets‘, etc.
Such crops usually complicate the ro-
tation systems. Alfalfa, too, causes ir-
regularities in cropping plans.

It ismuch easier to arrange fields
and make definite cropping plans on
farms that are level or nearly so, than
on hilly farms. Many farms have hills
which should be cropped differently
than the more level fields in order to
check soil washing.

Soil conditions are deciding factors
in many rotations. Peat soil, for ex-
ample, should be cropped quite differ-
ently than sand. A depleted field
should not be included in the rotation
plans intended for highly productive
fields. Furthermore, some special
crops should not be grown on certain
fields because of adverse soil condi-
tions.

Planning the Rotations.
On many' farms cropping systems
can be planned and carried out with
little or no difficulty. On old or neg-

lected farms it usually becomes neces-
sary to reorganize the whole farm. In
doing so care should betaken not to

disturb the farm business, unless it
becomes necessary to make radical
changes. In reorganizing a farm, two

or more years are usually required be-
fore the proposed cropping plans can
be fully established, because the exist-
ing conditions on the farm as regards
drainage, hay fields, pasture, etc.,
should be given careful consideration.

to produce the feed required.

4. Make a map of the farm just as
it is with fields showing acres in each.

convenient scale).

5. Number the {fields in some con-
venient way.

6. Consider the rotations best suit-
ed to sdil conditions in each field or in
different portions of the farm.

7. Plan to grow each year the re-
quired amounts of the different crops.

8. Rearrange the fields if necessary
to simplify the cropping plans and to
aid in field management.

The Application.

A dairyman wishes. to" establish a
three-year rotation on his farm of one
hundred and ten acresmall silt loam

soil. Corn, oats and clover are the
crops to be grown. To meet the feed-
ing requirements, about 125 tons of

silage, 500 bushels of corn, thirty tons
of clover, and 800 to 1000 bushels of
oats are required.

The average yields are as follows:
Corn, eleven to twelve tons of silage
or fifty to sixty bUShels of corn; oats,
about forty bushels; and clover about

No. '6 is made two acres larger. Note
that old timothy sods are plowed up.

The cropping plans for the third,
year and thereafter are shown in Fig.
3—a three-year rotation being fully es- .
tablished, and the farm is divided into
three cropping fields in addition to the ,
hog and night pastures.

The soil problems to meet on this
farm are: (a) a low supply of avail-
able phosphorus and (b) a compara-
tively low supply of nitrogen and soil
organic matter. ’

The rotation for each field and the
soil treatments. are indicated in the
following rotation chart:

The acid phosphate should be used
at the start to supply available phos-
phorus. The rock phosphate is to be
mixed with the manure by spreading it
over the loads when they are hauled ;
to the field. The rock phosphate is to .
be used once in about six or seven F,
years. If results show that acid phOSc ‘-
phate is best to use, this fertilizer may
be applied with the manure at the rate ’
of about forty or fifty pounds to the
ton, spread over the loads of manure.

HEN the cooperative shipping
movement swept over southern
Michigan in a resistless wave,
some years ago, people were not want-
ing who belittled the plan and predict-
ied its speedy failure. First and fore-
most among these opponents of the
'movement, were the stock buyers who
for years, had made a living and even
, amassed comfortable fortunes in their
Second to these go-be
tweens who took from the farmer, a
share of his juzt profits, were the bus-
iness men of the towns, who thought
they saw in the cooperative shipping
association the first nail in the whim
’ of their particular line of trade. Still
another element of opposition came
from the falmers themselves—«from
those farmers who look with suspicion
on every new advance and who are
forever afraid they are going to be
cheated.

But in spite of these opposing forces
the cooperative idea grew and spread
like wild-fire. There was no power
- strong enough to stop its progress, and
the history oi the growth of the move
ment is one of the most striking in the
annals of rural advancement in this
country. Several years have elapsed
since most of these organizations were

_ formed, and it is now possible to as-
certain to what extent the idea has
really triumphed. Of course, there
have. been failures. What movement
does not, in its initial stages, record
occasional failures? But generally, the
associations have justified their exist-
ence. For the most part, they are still
doing business, and the farmers of the
locality would not change to the old
system for anything.

lerhaps the most striking illustra-
tion of a successful shipping associa-
tion to be found in southern Michigan
is. that now Operating at Quincy, in
Branch county.

The Quincy Cooperative Shipping
'Association was organized in 1916,
along practically the some lines em-
ployed in the formation of all su'ch as-
sociations. The method and make-up
' of these organizations are too familiar
to readers of this journal and to Mich-
igan agriculturists everywhere, to need
repeating here. One point, however,
in connectiOn with the early stages of
the Quincy association, is worthy of

 

 

mention as having something to do
with the rapid growth in popularity.
A live stock. quarantine made prices
for many weeks, unstable and altogeth-
er uncertain. Live stock buyers either
could not or would not pay up, and the
discrepancy between what the buyers
were paying and what the association
1eceived, was so great that local farm-
ers flocked by the hundreds to the sup-
port of the association. This gave the
01'ganization the boom it needed in its
initial stages.

Since the first earload was shipped
there has been a. continuous growth in
the amount of business done by the as-
sociation. Today, Quincy is the ban-
ner shipping point for home-grown live
stock, in the United States. This cer-
tainly is a record worth noting. This
certainly is a victory for the coopera-
tive idea, well worth publishing widely.
Last year the Quincy association did a
business in live stock alone amounting
to a half million dollars. 0n shipping
days there is a line of wagons and
trucks in town that would have made
the stock buyer of the old days gasp
for breath. After these years the Quin-
cy business man beholds on shipping
day a crowd of farmers in his store
such as he never dreamed of. in the old
days. ' Instead of taking trade away
from the town, the cooperative asso-
ciation has enlivened business and in-
creased it. From a half dozen town-
ships surrounding the village thefam‘

ers come with. their homeraised stock.

In setting forth the wonderful suc-
cess of the Quincy organization, the
names of two men should be mention-
ed. Since its formation, the associa-
tion has been fortunate in the men
elected to conduct its affairs. 8. W.
Boynton has been throughout, the efl‘l-
cient and wideawake manager, and F.
L. Holmes has performed with fidelity
and ability the work of secretaryjtreas-
urer. Of course, these men are back-
ed up by the five hundred members of
the association, but as is well known,
it is half the battle in launching a new
enterprise, if the right menare select-
ed to conduct the business;

And now, after thus very briefly stat-
ing the success of the Quincy coopera»
tive enterprise, we arrive at its effect
on other lines of endeavor. Mainly,
the association has concerned itself
with the shipping of live stock. So sat-
isfactory to the farmers has this prov-
ed, that a new association is now be-
ing formed. This new organization will
ship grains, hay, straw, and in fact, all
farm products. The association will
build an elevator and a warehouse. In
addition to shipping from the farms, all
kinds of farm produce, the association
will ship in numerous things needed by
the farmers, such as feed of various
kinds, fertilizer, seeds, coal, and many
other items. A manager will be hired
to attend to the business.

In the forming of this new enter~

prise, the leaders are meeting with no
opposition whatever. The success or
the live stock business has been too
marked to permit of deubt or argu-
ment. Many farmers not members at
the old association enjoy the benefits
afforded by its shipping facilities, and
the sentiment in favor oi coowratlon
is well nigh universal throughout the
territory under

in 1919, and the new association will
be formed without a hitch. _

The Quincy Cooperative Shipping As-
sociation furnishes a shining example
of the full fruitage of the cooperative
idea along this particular line. Farm-
ers as a class have been slow to learn
the value of cooperation. But they
have learned it at last, through the
tangible results of these shipping or-
ganizations. Never again can the
Country revert to the old conditions.
Slowly and laboriouslyhave the farm<
ers found the way upward in lines of
advancement. Comparatively speaking
only a small minority of our farmers
are members of the Grange or of sim-
ilar organizations. Comparatively few
of our farmers have taken an active
part in the movement conducted by ag-
ricultural institutions and experiment
stations, for better seeds and more
scientific methods of growing them.
tmly a small number of farmers take
an active part in influencing legisla-
tion for the benefit of the ruial com
munity.

But with the cooperative movement
the case is different. The cooperative
shipping associations have been oper-
ative at the very door of the farmer.
and he has reaped its benefits. No
movement in the history of farming in
this country has done more to bring
to the grower his first share of the
profits.

In the fight for better conditions one
aim is to cut out the middlemen—to
bring producer and consumer closer to
gether. The cooperative movement Is
doing this. The buyer of live stock has
been for the most part, eliminated. 1n
the struggle to cut out the non-produc-
er, cooperation is an essential factor.
The cooperative associations are a big
step in advance in the fight to give
both producer and consumer as square
deal.

“How You Gonna Keep ’Em Down on the Farm?”

HE question of keeping boys and

girls on the farm is not only b9-

, in; asked. by the popular song
writer on the various graphaphone rec

eras, but is also a pertinent one to

many farmers and rural sociologists

of the day. It has been answered in

many ways by as many authorities on

rural life. The fact remains that it is

still a question. Some farmers are

prone to assert that the answer lies in

'keeping the boys away from the 'city
schools that would attract them from

their rural environment to the mani-
fold opportunities or the city. This, to

my mind, is not one of the answers.

.contrasts rather strongly with the ex-
amples pictured._ So does eighty per
cent of the life in our cities contrast
with the other twenty per cent. That
is the appeal 6f America. Ambition,
work, preseverance may overcome ear-
ly disadvantages and odds, and place
their possessor'at the top. Farm boys
and girls must see in rural life an op-
portunity for just as full a living so-
cially, educationally, and spiritually,
as the city affords, or it will not ap-
peal to the best of them.

Financially, farming has started to
come into its own. The science of ag-
'riculture is.now being taught in our
high schools and agricultural colleges.
The federal department expends annu-
ally hundreds of thousands of dollars
in order that farmers may learn more
profitably to perform their work. This
side needs to be emphasized, but it is
not the crux of the situation. Much
depends, however, on- the remunerav
tion""which comesfrom farming. '

Perhaps the best way to begin. gell-
ing farm‘life as a career to a boy or
girl is to make it as attractive as pos-
sible. The boy or girl 911 a farm de~
velops rapidly and comes to share at
an ea1ly age in the partnership of the

D€V€lOping Crops for Upper

HE sOy bean is one of the best

I nitrogen—gathering plants that
can be grown in the rotation,
ranking at least as high as the clovers
and alfalfa. Its extraordinary soiling
and feeding properties have led many
agricultural experiment stations to car-
ry on extensive experiments with it.
This plant is used extensively in the
south as a soil builder and has gained
favor in some parts of Michigan. Ex-
periments carried on at the Menomi-
nee County Agricultural School for the
past two years leads to the belief that
this wonderful plant is adapted for
growth in some sections of the upper

_ peninsula of Michigan. It is beingsuc-

cessfully grown on many farms in
northern Wisconsin.

A year ago a small patch of Wiscon-
sin Black Wax soy beans was planted
on\the scli’ool farm. The seed was in-
oculated with soy bean culture before
planting and a fine, mature crop of the
beans was harvested. All results seem-
ed to indicate a successful introduc-
tion of this plant into the rotation of
some of the farms of Cloverland, but
befme recommending it, more experi-
ments were thought advisable, so the
school obtained several varieties of the
bean in the hope of getting a variety
even better adapted to the conditions
here. .The five varieties tested were

before being hauled. Curing the beans
similar to hay was tried last year, re
sulting in the loss of large amount of
leaves.

The above experiments with the I
beans leads to the following conCIu-
sions: The Manchuria is out of the
question, as it had not set pods at the ,.
time of harvest. The Wisconsin Black,’ '
Wax matured the earliest, followed af
week later by the Ito San and Wilson
Five. A slight variation is due to the .
fact that the Ito San and Wilson Five
were not acclimated. The Black Eye-
brow was about two-thirds mature at ‘
harvest time and is considered the best
of the five for silage and hay on ac-
count of its large size, abundance of
laige leaves, date of maturity and the
fact that it heals its pods well up on
the stalk. This high- bearing habit
makes it possible to cut the 00111 with
the corn binder without the loss of as
many pods as would be the case with
the ea11-ie1 -maturing va1ieties. It also
holds its leaves well in curing, a fact
which should make it one of the best ,'
to be cut for hay.

on. the school term for the. past two

years was also. planted. .They‘Werexalif‘

planted the same date on the ‘Same

kind or. soil and 'under'simi-lar' conch; _

tions. ‘

Gwyations as to size, number. of 1
leaves and date of maturity leads us

to conclude that Wisconsin numbers
twelve and twentysnve were about the

same, with possibly a few moreleeves "

on the Wisconsin number twenty-ave.

but the Wisconsin number twelve sent J;
to us grew to be about two feet taller
and matured about a week? later than '

the Wisconsin number twelye that had

been grown here let the last twoyears‘

and had been acclimated to this sec;
,tlon. The W‘lsoomln number eight mah
tar-ed slightly later than the number
twenty-five and number twelve and was
slightly larger and more leafy. Wis:-
consin number seven was so late in
maturing that it was hardly in the milk
stage at the time that the other com
was put in the silo- In traveling over
the country, one sees much of this
large, late-maturing corn being grown
for silage purposes. This corn will not
mature to the hard-glaze stage by the
time frost kills it, and while the farmer
may get a larger bulk of mm, the qual-
ity is not there and it will not produce
the milk flow that a smaller amount of
more mature corn would. Growing the
more mature corn for silage will also
help to lessen the amount of grain fed
during the winter.

A few years ago the Squaw Com
grown by the Indians of Chippewa
county was crossed with Wisconsin
number twelve at the school. resulting
in a short-stalked, early-maturing dent
com. This corn will mature in about
ninety days and should he almost an
annual cropper for this section of the
country. The school hopes to be able
to distribute a few samples for trial
among farmers of Menominee and 8d-
jacent counties next year.

Buying ‘Your Nursery Stock

One can’t always get Just the variety
he wants but that is another reason to
think that what we do get is right. I
know of a firm where you can always
get just the variety of any, fruit you
want. If they don’t have it the label
is changed to suit your wants. ' It you
have a kick alter the trees beer you
probably (7) got the stock mixed after
getting it home! Very plausible but
it don’t give one the tree that you
have waited for so long. If there is a
fruit man in your neighborhood get
him to'order for you. The trees will
cost you as much if you buy direct be
cause nurserymen get a better price
than a regular buyer, since they buy?
more goods. More than that, the fruit
man knows varieties and if a certain
kind is not in stock he cén replace
with something that has the same char-
acteristics as the one wanted, and so.
generally satisfy you.

The regular agent who sells trees is.
not usually acquainted with the busi-
ness only from a selling‘point. He can
mix varieties though probably mm
ingly and get your order mixed as eas-
ily as any other green buyer. More
than that, the profits that he takes are
out of reason and we can’t word to.
give money away tartan to anybody

HE twenty-seventh annual meet-
ing of Michigan State Associa-
‘tion at Famiers’ Clubs, held in
the Senate Chamber, Capitol Building,
L using, December 2-3, 1919.. had del—
egates present tron: nearly every coun-
ty in the state.

' The secretary’s report showed, again
of 1,121 members in the clubs report-
ing. Four new clubs were added to the
membership of the association and two
clubs that had lost membership were
reinstated. R
A committee composed of Mrs. M. C.
Spencer, Mrs. I. R. Johnson and Altred
Allen, were appointed to further the
work of the state library among the
Farmers’ Clubs.

The association unanimously voted
to make the minimum membership fee
to the state association the dollars.

_ every club paying at the rate of fifty

cents psr family. This motion was
enacted to furnish funds that more cili-
cient work might be done.

The legislative committee was an-
thorized to make investigation as to
the character of persons nominated for
oliices and report same to Farmers’
Clubs.

The oillcers elected for the coming
year were: President, Allied Allen,
Mason; vice-president, Lee Noble, Ox-
ford; secretaryjti'easuier, Mrs. l. R.
Johnmn, Rushton; directors E. D. Ohn'
stead, Nashville; W. A. Cutler, Grass
Lake; J. P. Hackett, Newaygo.

Resolutions Adopted.
National Affairs.

We believe that congress should take
immediate action on the League of Na-
tions Covenant, that this vastly im-
portant matter affecting the govern-
mental aii'airs of our country be dis-.
penned with promptly, reassuring con—
gress that we desire the adoption of
such a covenant as will eliminate fu~
ture possibilities of war.

Resolved, that we not only recognize
the rights of the American farmer to
collective bargaining. but that we in-
sist upon the passage of the Copper-
Hersman bill now pending in congress
as an amendment to the, Clayton antl—
tmst act, which clearly defines the
rights or the American farmer on this
important question.

The rights of citizenship-in a world’s

democracy must rest upon education
and training for mutual service, and
righteousness among nations. To this
end we ask that the federal govern-
ment establish at our various colleges
schools for such service in vocational
education and discipline as will in-
spire and train our young men to es-
tablish and maintain universal peace.
Resolved. that we favor the reten-
Ption of the railroads, telegraph lines.
express companies. etc, until such
times as permanent unification and re-
forms are instituted and a fair detem
ination of government control in peace
times be made in comparison with cor‘
porntion control. .
' “ate mm.
We regard the plans of terminal
warehouses and a market commission
for preserving the rights of producers
and More as correct in principle
and a proper step at the present time.
The early adoption of such plans” is
as

The necessities for forests is now re-
flected in the advanced priced lumber.

pclds on a We prom {m

this the farmer who coordinates in his

Farmers’ Clubs at Lansing.

 

 

products both labor and capital must
be recognized as the stabilising force
in time of un eat and group friction.
The farmer today desires to» maintain
production adequate to: the world’s
needs, but must have an economic
place which permits a price for his
products that will enable him to pay
for labor a wage equali ‘ that paid by
other industries. 10th 'he cannot
produce up to the full aficioncy of his
farm and equipment, with the result or
increasing costs. and prices. He must
have the current return 101' investment
and pay for management. -

The method of adjuzting those equi-
ties of industry at the present time do
not exist, nor can they be determined
by price fixing in advance, but must
be based on production costs and de-
mands with an allowance of a reason-
able profit. We, theretore. recommend
a national commission with ‘a person-
nel of actual farmers, together with
those representing the public, to de—
termine stabilizln prices and agricul-
tural allocation. 6 comment! this to
the Michigan Farm Bureau and other
agricultural organizations. ‘

The necessities of increased» produo

‘ tion were neVer more imperative. and

the only real effective method of de-
creaslng prices is more products. Out-
put is now limited by labor shortage
and existent machinery of production
is capable of indefinite increase by ap-
plication of more hours of work. Such
an increase of output would involve
but little more than the labor cost as
existent and food, tools. housing, etc,
would need little increase. This would
prove the most eflectlvc and only meth-
od of reducingprlces as well as in-
creasing thé purchasing power‘of the
participating consumer. Agriculture
promises and agrees to long hours of
labor next year to produce food and
clothing, and asks a conference or com
ventlou to meet at an early date with
a view to an understanding for an in
crease of production along all lines for
the year 1920. The president of this
body is authorized to appoint a com-
mittee of three to confer and cooper-
ate in calling such a convention.

We commend the efforts of Hon. C.
B. Scully to secure the passage by the
last legislature of a law providing far
a state income tax. and again urge the
passage of such a law, either by in-
itiative or by the legislature.

We believe that the country is suf-
fering from too much paternalism. that
there is too much useless legislation.
too much investigation by the federal
government. and we believe that the
nnces of farm products at the present
time is due largely to the activity of
the national and state governments
and other municipalities in investigat-
ing the high cost of living.

t' Whereas, figrtilculture is the founda—
lon upon w ,c rests the '
of the state; and prosperity

Whereas, a large percents e of the

Therefore, be it

Resolved.‘that justice. 0 rlet dir-

Keeps Them Gaining

- “ ONDITION” is the first consideration in the care of
live stock, and good condition is secured and kept up by
feeding rations balanced to meet the need of the animals fed.

No one grain or combination of grains makes a com-
plete and economical ration for all kinds of live stock. The grains
and other ingredients must be carefully selected and scientifically
blended. That is what is accomplished in

1 rue '3" dllle
STOCK FEED

It is made of clean, pure ground oats and barley, corn-feed meal, hominy feed,
linseed meal, oat feed and cotton-seed meal, correctly blended andi thoroly
mixed in EXact proportions to insure best feeding results.

Costs Less than Grain

True Value Stock Feed, while it goes farther and gives better results, actually
costs less than whole grain feeds.

For that reason it pays the farmer both in cash and in results to sell his
grains and buy True Value Stock Feed.

In addition to its desirability as a general purpose feed, True Value Stock
Feed is an ideal basis for any specialized feed. Addition of the proper con-
centrates makes a balanced ration for every special purpose at comparatively

low cost.
Order True Value Stock Feed from your dealer today. If he hasn’t
it yet, write us and we will see that you are supplied promptly.

Luck was walking along the plaza to—

his room key. Somehow he had van—

Before nightfall the word was whis
pered all over Saguache that Luclen'l—
lison, pioneer cattleman and former
sheriff, was suspected of the W. & S.
Express robbery and had fled to save
himself from arrest. At first men mar-
veled that one so well known and pop-
ular, one who had been so prominent
in affairs, could be suépected of such
a crime, but as they listened to the

proper selection and use of fertilizer are important; so is
the selection of seed. But good management of the soil
is also necessary.

Why not find outjust what to do! Why not consult our

Agricultural Service Bureau

This Bureau has carried on‘field tests for many years with many
kinds of fertilizers and fertilizer materials, in many states on different
Soils, under .different conditions of rainfall, climate, etc. It has de-
monstrated to many farmers the 'best methods of managing their soils.
-- Perhaps-it- may help you solve your problems. It is under the per-
sonal charge of Dr. H. J. Wheeler, formerly Director of the Rhode
Island Agricultural Experiment Station. This service is free to you.

“ HOW to Make Money with Fertilizers ”

is the title of a 56 page book (46 illustrations) containing
information every farmer needs in relation to the proper use
of fertilizers; it shows where profit is to be found, and how
to get it. It Is an interesting book—not a catalog. Any
one of our offices named below will send it to you free.

» She did not like to leave the ranch
. juist now, even fer a few hours, but

other business called her away. SWeen-
ey was holding down the fort at the
Del Oro against Fendrick’s sheepherd-

peted the hills with an unusually fine
‘grass, and the summer suns had not

with the very joy of life. Oh, how good
it was to be alive in a world of warm
sunshine, of 'blue, unflecked sky, and
of cool, light breezes. Swifts basked
on the rocks or darted like arrows for
safety, and lay palpitating with sus-
pense. The clear call 30f the quails
sounded to right and left of her. To
her. eager consciousness it was as. if
some bath of splendor had poured
down overnight upon the old earth.

‘She rode from sunlight into shadow
and from shadow to sunlight again,
winding along the hill trail that took
her toward the Del Ora. After hours
of travel she came tothe saddle from
which one looked down to the gap in
the canon walls that had been the com-
mon watering place of all men’s cat-
tle, but now was homesteaded by her
father. Far below her it lay, a dwarf-
ed picture with detail blurred to a
vague impressionistic map. She could
see the hut: the fence line running par-
allel to the stream on the other side,
some grazing cattle, Sweeney’s horse
in the corral.

The bloating of a lamb floated up to
her. Kate dismounted and made her
way toward the sound. A pathetic lit-
tle huddle of frightened life tried to
struggle free at her approach. The
slim leg of the lamb had become wedg-
ed at the intersection of several rocks
in such a way that it could not be with-
drawn.

Kate pulled the boulder away, and
released the prisoner. It looked at her
and bleated without attempting to
move. She took the soft, wooly crea-
ture in her arms, and examined the
wounded limb, all torn and raw from
its efforts to escape. A wound, she re-
called, ought to‘be washed with cold
water and bound. Returning to her
horse, she put the little animal in front
of the saddle, and continued on the
trial that led down to the river.

Sweeney came out from the cabin
and hailed her. , ’He was a squat,
weather— beaten man, who had ridden
for her father ever since she could re-
member.

“What in Mexico you got there?” he
asked in surprise.

She explained the circumstances un-
der which she had found the lamb.

“And what you aiming to do with
it?!)

' “I’ m going to tie up its leg and take
it across the river. Some of the C. F.
herders are sure to find it before

’_ night. ”

“She! What are .you fooling with

' Cass Fendrick’s sheep for?” he grum-

bled.

“It isn’t a sheep, but a lamb. And
I’m not goingto see it suffer, no matter
who owns it. ”

She was already walking tOWard the
river. Protestingly he followed, and
lent a hand at tying up the leg With
the girl’s handkerch1ef

side the fence." sbé' said. ' ,

“I’ 111 so glad you know the danger-.

our plaCes.’i Be “careful you don’t
drown,” she mOcked.

The rider’ 3 laughter rang back to
her. One of her jokes went a long

way With Sweeney. The danger of the ,

river. had been the flimsiest of eXcuses.
What he had been afraid of was that
one of Fendrick’s herders might be
lurking in some arroyo beyond the
fence. There was little chance that

helwould dare hurt her, but he might

shout something unpleasant. ..
In point of fact, Sweeney saw some

one disappear, into a. wash as he reach-‘

ed the fence. The rider held up the
lamb, jabbered a sentence of broncho
Spanish at the spot where the man had
been, put down his bleating burden,
and cantered backto his own side of
the river without unnecessary delay.
No bullets had yet been fired in the
Cullison-Fendrick feud, but a “greas-
er” was liable to do anything, accord.
ing to the old puncher’s notion. Any-
how,,he did not Want to be'a tempta-
tion to anyone with a gun in his hand.

An hour later, Kate, on the return

. trip, topped the rise where she had

found the lamb. Pulling up. her pony,

to rest the horse from its climb, she '
gazed back across the ,river to the.

rolling ridges among which lay the C.
F. ranch. Oddly enough, she had never
seen Cass Fendrick. He had come to
Papago county a few years before, and
had bought the place from an earlier
settler. In the"disag'reement that had
fallen between the two men, she was
wholly on the side of her father. Some-
times she had wondered what manner
of man this Cass Fendrick might be;
disagreeable, of course, but after pre-
cisely what fashion.

“Your property, I believe, Miss Cul-
lison.’ ‘

She turned at sound of the suave,

amused drawl, and looked upon a dark,

slim young man of picturesque appear-
ance. He was bowing to her with an
obvious intention of overdoing it. Voice
and manner had the habit'of the south
rather than of the west. A kind of
indolent irony sat easily upon the
swarthy face crowned with a. black
sleek head of hair.

Her instinct told the girl who he
was. She did not need to ask herself
any longer what Cass Fendrick looked
like.

He was holding out to her the blood:

stained kerchief that had been tied to
the lamb’s leg.

“I didn’t care to have it returned,”
she told him with cold civility.

“Now, if you’d only left a. note to
say so, it would have saved me a quite
considerable climb,” he suggested.

In spite of herself a flicker of amuse-
ment lit her eyes. She had a sense of
humor. “I did not think of that, and
since you have troubled toreturn it to-
me, I can only say thank you.”

She held out her hand for the ker-

chief, but he did not move. “I don’t
know but What I’ll keep it, after all, for
a. souvenir Just to remind me that
Luck Cullison’s daughter went out of
her way to help one of Cass Fendrick’s-
sheep.”
9 She ignored his sardonic mockery.
“I don’t let live creatures suffer when
I can help it. Are you going to give
me my handkerchief?” 1.

“Haven’t made up my mind yet. Per—
haps I’ll have it washed and bring it
home to you. ”

She decided that he Was trying to
flirt with her, and turned the head of
her horse to start. -' .

freight, I expect it will be safe to calI, " _

(Continued from first page).
friends, and make known their love
and appreciation by gifts and loving
phrases of the tongue which rise di-
rectly andeasily from the heart.

As “a rising tide lifts all the boats,”
so all people are directly or indirectly
uplifted and softened by the influence
of the time. And the Spirit can work
only through and upon the hearts of
men—He has no material gifts to offer.

In an evolving world such as ours
the Spirit. wise beyond the Wisdom of
mortals, realizes there must be. unhap-
piness; and yet He is always striving
to lessen it. There is a swift under-

current of tears in the joy and blessed-'

ness and fellowship of Christmas—tide,
a drawing together of spirits. And
though men and women. who strive to
outvie each other in making presents

often grumble about the commercial-g

ism of the modern Christmas. we may
see their eyes grow soft as they pre-

pare a gift for some true friend—a gift

into which they have put care and low
mg thought.

The church bells, the sleigh bells.
the mstery of the season, the ingenu-
ously sweet deceptionsflthese touch
the soul with a tinge of. tender said—
ness, some. hint of better days to come.
What does the Spirit ask of those who
would keep the Christmastide proper-
ly? That there should be simple pres-
ents for the children; thoughtful' re-
membrances. for friends; kind. greet-

ings and appreciative words if the

purse is. light; cheer and consideration
for the aged; thanks for the love of
relatives; gratefulness for the lessons
of the past year; sharing with more
unfortunate brothers; a laying aside' of
envy of; the more fortunate; a gather-
ingwith their loved ones in true haz-
mony; and a. prayer that they my
draw firom the great day of Love, in.-
spiration tor the whole. year to come.

a

HE teacher in “Burton Twp. Dist.

"‘ No. 3,” hid her head under the

pillow and wept miserably. The

tears which she had been winking back

all that wretched day soaked down

through Mrs. Merry’s sheet and into

the feather bed unhindered, while the

teacher reviewed all her causes of woe.

They began with the snow which she

found on her bed that morning, sifted

through cracks in —the chamber roof,

continued with the green wood fire

which wouldn’t burn in the school-

house stove, mounted higher with the

wanton and wilful inattention of Mas-

ter William Merry, son of her landlady

and of the school director, and climax-

ed with the fact that it was Christmas

eve, she was just eight miles from

home and couldn’t get there for Christ-

mas and mother, because- everyone

was too busy with holiday festivities

to take her for just one day, and “Bur-

ton Twp. Dist. 3” gave its holiday va-

cation at potato digging time. _

The weeping grew into a regular

1 small girl “B00 1100" as the teacher

reached the climax. The idea of a

community being so mercenary, so un-

possessed of the finer feelings that

they wouldn’t close their school a week

for Christmas and New Years, and

them just eight miles from Newton,

that center of culture and learning.

Over home the community Christmas

tree was being lighted and soon the

old church parlors would be crowded

with everyone she knew. She could

see the church now, the lights gleam—

ing softly through the yellow windows,

and the electric star they always light-

ed on the cross on Christmas eve

sparkling "on high. If she listened hard

enough she might even hear the bells

‘—but she pulled the other pillow over
her head for fear she would.

She did hear, however, as she raised
her head to secure the pillow, giggling
in the hall outside her door and Wil-
lie’s whisper, “Hush, she’ll hear you.”
What mischief was that young imp up
to now, she wondered. For the past
week he had seemed possessed, and
his spirit had spread to a half dozen of
the other boys. Every time she look-
ed up they were looking at her with
broad grins on their faces.
night as they went whooping out, Wil
lie had yelled at the group, with a sig-
nificant wink and nod in her direction,
“Don’t forget, tonight at 8:30 sharp.”
She shivered with premonition. If it
was anything Willie Merry was con-
cerned in she felt sure something
would be to pay. It seemed queer
that a boy could look so much like an
angel and act so much‘ like a—a, well,
not a bit angelic.

There might just as well not have
been any school all week, ‘for all the
work done. Holiday making had per-
vaded the air, the children were excit-
ed and the teacher homesick. Though
she hadn’t called it that. She was just
plain discouraged over the school. No
Order, no school spirit, no ambition in
the children, she told herself: And
nothing at all to work' with. To be
sure. they had the things the school
law of Michigan compelled them to
have, but the maps were made before

such conditions, she told herself. Yet
she had heard whispered criticisms of
herself. And the parents weren’t a bit
backward about telling how well the
children had done last winter.

If mother didn’t expect her to stay
and make good she’d quit right then
and there and walk home that very
night. But mother had worked so hard
to get her through the county normal,
she just had to stick it out and pay
back part of the money. Mother had
been so glad when she got a school
right at home. They had expetced to
spend all their holidays together, and
now the very first real one she was
stranded. Why, it wouldn’t be Christ-
mas without mother and the six o’clock
service in the morning. Every since
she could remember they had got up
at five o’clock on Christmas morning,
snatched a peek at the stuffed stock-

against burning wood to heat thebuild-

iday joy—and sometimes with butter
off the hot rolls they always served
before the service. Christmas with-
out the Christmas carols would be
worse than the oatmeal that morning
without salt.

Through the gloom which enfolded .
her, sounds from the outside crept in.
At first faint and uncertain, she told
herself she was “hearing things.” Then,
as the notes grew stronger, she threw
off the pillows and sat up. Somebody
was singing Christmas carols. Who
could it be? There was to be no cele-
bration in the neighborhood, she knew.
She had wanted a tree at the school
house, but all the men were too busy

The serenade finally ended, as Willie
admitted in response to the"prolonged
handclapping of teacher and Martha,
that “they didn’t know no more.”

“Come on, fellows, let’s go in and
sing ’em for your mothers,” he sug-
gested to his satelites, and thewgroupv
trooped off, strains of “Silent Night,”
floating back as teacher closed the win-
dow.

“But where did they ever learn
them,” she tu1ned to Martha who had
lighted the lamp.

“Will taught them to the boys,” Mar-
tha, flushed with pride was smiling
happily. '

“Yes, but where did he learn them?”
Teacher had never before succeeded
in finding out that Willie could learn
anything, though she knew he could
sing. His voice always rose clear
above all the others when time for
singing rolled round.

“Well, you know, Will just loves vmu-
sic,” Martha explained: “He hummed
tunes before he could “talk, mother
says. And he only has to hear a tune
once to whistle it. nice when father

trying hard to back the three R’s to
those boys and she knew.

“Why, all he needs is to be interest-
ed. She dropped her brush, astonished
atherdicmvery. “Why, tlnt's all they
all need.” She stared at the light as
she went once man over the events of
her one term. “I've cowhide-'1 all the

The Blows

You Strike   3

By E. L. Vincent

AUR youngest boy came home
from school one day with flushed
cheeks and flashing eyes. - Moth-

er saw that something was wrong, but
she waited for it to come out, which it
did very shortly.

“If I hadn’t been 3. Vincent,” he de-
clared,“‘1 would have given that boy
a. licking he never would forget.” ’

The name saved him from .disgrac-
ing himself in a fight. He knew we
would be grieved and hurt if our boy
got into a row of that kind, so he ran
all the way home to tell about it. ‘ And
that was the best blow our Laddie
could pugsibly have struck for the good
name of the family. If he had stood
up to a fight to the finish and had beat-
en his school fellow to a fraZzle, it
would not have meant so much for us
as did that hard—earned victory when
the thought of father and mother back

. yonder at home kept him true and

clean.

What kind of blows do you strike
for those who know you best? Take
father and mother, for instance. When
out with the felloWs, do.you always
stand up for the home folks. loyally?
It is pretty easy in these days to let
the standard down a. bit. Tempta-
tions come to do and say little things
that are not quite as manly as they
should be. How do you meet these?

A little chap I know who was being
pumped by an inquisitive neighbor’s
wife While on the way to school about
some of the home affairs, bravely stood
up and said: “My mother doesn’t want
me to tell.” That shut the lips of the
thoughtless woman pretty effectually.
And the boy did right. We are to guard
the little secrets of the home the best
we can.

Then, too, how about the man you
work for, if you are away from home
now? It did mea world of good not
long ago to hear a. boy who was in the
employ of a. business firm bravely and
loyally speak in behalf of the house.
The fellows he was with were trying
to get him to say something unfavor-
able about his employers. They had
all told of weak places in the methods
of their employers. Now it was the
other boy’s turn; but not a single word

 

 

"g RANDMA BURTON sat in her
easy rocker, silently looking
over a pile of letters. Each
, letter was given careful at-
tention and then put aside on the man-
tel. Soon she reached for her knitting
and as the needles clicked in making
hurried rounds of the little red mitten,

 

: Grandma smiled to herself as if some

satisfactory plan was, being worked
out.

That night when the children came
from school, each in turn looked in to
ask Grandma what she,thought of the
Christmas note and the list of gifts
each hoped to find in his stocking.
Then Grandma would take the individ-
ual letter and talk over the particular
toys selected and finally she said to

‘small John, aged five, “John if you had

an imaginary brother whom' you had
never seen, which of these gifts would
you be willing to give him for his very
own?” ‘

thn looked puzzled and after care-

will ever know;

 

did he speak that would in] any way
tarnish the good name of his house. He
had plenty of good words for them.
His eyes gleamed enthusiastically
when he was speaking-about them; but
they could not get a single disloyal ex-
pression from his lips. And I'know
they honored him for it. ‘

I do not, suppose the firm thatboy,

worked for ever knew or will know
just how loyal their boy employe is to
them.
If he follows up that policy of speaking
well always and everywhere of the
men for whom he is working, he will
strengthen the house more than he
for sudh blows do
count for good. Their influence will go
farther than any of us can imagine.

Have you ever stood and watched
the down of a. thistle as it drifted away
through the air? To you, standing on
the ground, the air seemed still; but
up where that 1111ny thing was there
was current enough t0ib‘ear:it along
slowly, until at last it went out of
sight. And somewheie that down of
the thistle came to the earth. It fell
into some little hollow, perhaps, and
there when the warm rains of spring
came it took root, and soon there was
a new plant.

This is quite like the influence of
our words for good. They do not go
out of sight and die. Somewhere,
sometime, they get a lodging place in

some mind and spring up to bear fruit ‘ ’

that is worth while. You and I may
not always know that this is so. But
that does not matter. If we strike our
blows for the right, manfully and with
an honeSt purpose, we may be sure it
will tell by and by. ,

Just now there is a tendency with a,
great many people, and some of them,
I am sorry tosay, are on the farm, to
say things that are not very friendly
to the government under which we live.
It is a habit men get into very easily;
but it is a bad habit, for all that. For
such words are like thistle seed. They
bear thistles, and we all know these
are about the worst things the farmer
has to deal with. They never do any-
body any good, but they do hurt and
sting and crowd out better plants.

Yes, I would give him the engine and

Grandma was pleased and patted.
John on the shoulder, saying, “Just
fine, John, I know any small boy will
be glad of such a gift.”

When Ted had piled the wood-box
high'with wood for mother’s kitchen
stove, he looked in to see Grandma. It.
had been the custom for years to give
all of Santa. Claus’ letters to Grandma,
who had passed some seventy Christ—

help both children and Santa‘Claus at.
this busy season of the year. “Read“.

Soon Margaret came in to show a
G plus arithmetic paper. Problems had
been hard for Margaret and Grandma

Mmmisod to keep close account of
,all the good marks. "That is a fine
’paper and a neat looking paper, too.

Be sure to bring me all the good pa-
pers. I look for one every day and i
see the problems are a little harder,
too. I 'Would like to talk over your

» Christmas note with yon.” The same

question was put to Margaret as had
been to her brothers, and she said, "It
I had an imaginary sister with brown

5 eyes and brown hair like mine, I would

give the plaid hair ribbon I asked

 

l

Santa for.”

This pleased Grandma so much, she
was still smiling when twelve-year-old

'Grace came in for an interview. She

listened soberly and said, "i would give
half my list it she were to be real in.
stead of imaginary. I wish I had been
one of twin girls, it must be so fine to
have a sister old enough to be sort of
a chum. But then, 1‘ will divide with
an imaginary sister, she can have the
box of stationary which i had hoped
would have two sizes of letter paper
in it.”

This completed the letters on Grand-
ma’s mantel and after she had marked
the gift to be given aWay on each list,
she dazed off to sleep in her easy chair.
The days flew by, just as busy days
always do. Mothers were making good
things for Christmas dinners. Little
folks zoned Very anxiously in at shop
windows and played the game of choos-
ing what they most wanted or'what
they would like best of all to give to
grewn-up friends. ' When Christmas
Eve came, each one in the Burton fam-
ily was on hand with a stocking to
hang before the fireplace.

Then Mr. Burton surprised them by
saying, “Put on your wraps, everyone,
and I'll take you for a spin. It is Just
8:30 and we can see the shop Window!
and the big municipal tree which will
be lighted in the park. We shall all
sleep better after our lungs are filled
with fresh air.”

No one had to be coaxed and it was
barely ten minutes before all, even to
Grandma, were ready. The big tree in
the park was beautiful with many cob
cred lights and at the very tipr a
cross was sending out its radiance;

driVe down the avenue and the win-

here a jifiy.” The big door swung op»-
en and they found themselves in a his
room, plain 'but neat, where fifty or
more children were seated about a.
pretty little tree. Each child was ex-

‘amining toys and chattering to other:

in childish delight. The matron, a
p emit-faced woman. came to meet
t em with a hearty handshake for each
one, large and small, and to'Mr. Burton
she quietly said: “Thongs so much for
this tree, it in the finest one we have
ever had and the nuts and candy well
give the childem no end of pleasure.”

Grandma Burton said. “I wonder if
Santa found the imaginary brothers
and sisters all right?” The Burton
children boson to suspect the plan
their Grandmother had so cleverly
werked and they moved about among
the little some. Very seen each had

CROP ROTATION—1T8 PRACTICAL
APPLICATION.

. (Continued from page 779).
used to take care of the irregularities

-in the cropping plans. The oat crop
on this field is seeded to mammoth
clover which is turned under. For
green manuring this clover is excellent.

Note that a special phosphate treat-
ment is planned for field Number 2
(b). Sufficient manure can be secured
from a near town to enable this man
to manure at least twenty-four acres
a year. '

On this farm are established a two-
year rotation, a three-year rotation,
and a seven. or eight-year rotation, and
yet the farm is divided into only four
fields or into six twelve and thirteen-
acre cropping units.

Other Problems Met by Rotation.

A great deal can be said in favor of
crop rotation in meeting soil and crop
problems, but space will permit only a.
mere mention of other points.

When a farm consists of different
soils, rotations should be carefully

tions. On sand, for example, the rota-
tion should include rye, soy beans, corn
and mammoth clover. 0n depleted
10ams and silt loams a three-year ro-
tation including clover gives best re-
sults. in cropping hillsides, care should
be given to lessen erosion. Such fields
should be kept in grass as much as
posible. s.

In growing ,alfalfa, it is often con‘
venient to divide a portion of the farm
into five or six units 01' strips, and ro-

in alfalfa. one in corn and one in grain

(seeded to alfalfa). Each year one

strip of alfalfa is plowed up for corn.
When Clover Fails.

ed that crop rotation cannot be made
to succeed because clover often Win-
ter-kills or fails. This need not inter-
fere greatly with the cropping plans.
When clover fails, a suitable annual
legume should be grown in place of it,
such as soy beans. Very often oats
alone or oats and peas are sown for
hay when the clover fails. If pasture
follows hay in rotation, oats and peas
seeded to clover is a good substitute.
The clover will provide the pasture.

Systematic Farming Begins with Rota-

‘ tion.

How profitably can the winter even-
ings on the farm be spent in planning
cropping systems for the farm. Make
a. plan of the farm now and begin.
Crop rotation can be planned on any
farm. It matters not where on the
farm, there are suitable legumes for
all conditions. Plan rotations for larg-
er.yields, for more economic Croppro-
auctions. 30.1." [soil improvement, “and- to

ry crop and as a result there Was great

interest in the talk on the above nub

the strawberry will grow upon all types
of sdk—the important matter-

velop a plant that will firing the best
returns He pictured an analogy be-
tween the ice-ding of strawberries and
feeding 91' hogs. It little matters

whetha theytrough 'm which the. how;

are fed is made of wood, steel or ce-
ment so long as the feed placed there-
in conforms to the wants of. the ani-
miu. So With the strawberry soil, it
is not so much What the soil consists
of as it is what you put.into it.

Some of the materials fedthe soil

are mm. hay roots, stockyard ma.

vetch and alfalfa. From his experience

he thinks. that the plowing down of" a;

deed crop of vetch or alialfa gives
about the- same results as the turning
under (if an. ordinary application of
goal manure.
adding vegetable matter is the thor-
oughly mixing of the fiber with the soil.
He plows deep, using a, tractor.

The plants are set in the spring. He
favors the hill system as it stream
feeding surface for the plants, mare
sunlight and it results inlthe' produc:
tion 0! superim- hen'ias. Cultivating is
done with a Planet Junior cultivate:

and hoe. His fields are frequently 0131- ,1
ti-vated thirty times during the seam. f
Thk work starts as 8003:. as the phllls

are set and continues throughout the
season.

of acid' phosphate and 1.9 pounds of
tobacco dust, which furnishes the need-
ed potash. Early in the winter after

plants are mulched with straw or

nure is used over the rows and well-
Iotted manure applied between then.

Some system of crop rotation was

recommended by the speaker: His plan“

is to 31m legm and sharpie-vies
alternately. This keeps the soil in ex-
cellent physical condition and allow:
im- fhe proper edition of plant food.
His suggesfions on harvesting were
never to pick when plants are not from

dew or rain. He advises sorting in the.
field. Large fancy berries are picked ‘

first and placed in the boxes selected
