TABLE manure will always be the

chief fertilizer used on the farms

where live stock farming is being





fibllo‘wed' No manure should be wast-

ed. Liquid manure is just as valuable

as the solids and water-tight, concrete

floors should be installed in barns as

well as where manure is stored (if





stored) to prevent losses.

inure should be piled with cow manure

to prevent its heating and consequent

loss of fertility. A ton of manure is

worth, conservatively speaking, five

dollars. Every ton wasted means a

definite decrease in crop yields on the

farm.

Apply Manure Properly.



Manure should always be applied to

some groWin‘g ”crop on sandy soils.

These soils are very often open and

porous, especially where there is a

coarse, sandy subsoil. Manure will





leach through, readily unless held by





the root systems of _ growing» crops ;

therefore, it is advisable to apply ma-

nuretosmhcropsasfallryetobe





'msed to atom. or spring grain seed.





ed to clever Manure may also be ap-





‘plied to new clover seeding during the





fall of the year, or on pastures or on





and land. Do not,plow sod land for at





least two months after applying the

manure. .



Manure in actual farm practice is

frequently applied on the corn and po-

tato ground because they are the cash

crops on the farm. It is much better.

to apply manure to. the clover or grain

crop with clover to insure a successful

stand of clover, which in" turn means a.

much better crop of cOrn or potatoes.

This is especially important if the sup-





Horse ma- .





\





ply of manure on the farm is very lim-‘





ited. Commercial fertilizers can be

utilized/with very good results on corn

and potatoes grown on 'clover sod, and

produce just as good or in some cases

better, results than manure, but fertil-

izers}, without sod or humus on poor

sandy soils do not always produce very

appreciable and profitable increases.

Commercial fertilizers should and must

be used 011 light soils to supplement

the, limited supply of manure.





Light and frequent applications of

manure are better than heavy applica-

tions. It is better to feed the growing

crop than to feed the soil. ‘Heavy ap-

plications or manure mean considera-

ble'loas ,byi leaching. A manure spread-

er should be used whenever possible.

It saves labor, time in handling, and

fertility by being ,ablerto apply lighter

applications. Top-dressing is also pref—

erable to ploWing under manure on

light soils. Place plant food where the

roots can use it readily.



Themost abundant root system is in

the. top six inches of soil. Plowing

manure under six inches deep places it

where growing plants cannot secure it

readily.



“Does manure applied on the surface

of the ground leach out through the





 





air,” is a question commonly asked by

many. in farmers’ meetings.



“No, it does not, so do not be afraid

to top-dress,” is our usual reply.



Green Manuring. .



The most Successful farmers today

plow under a green manuring crop,

such as soy beans or alfalfa occasion-

ally. That they are well repaid for‘us-

ing a good crop in this way is shown

by the following data. Different le-

gume crops were grown on a newly-

cleared sandy soil at Ellis Junction,

and a poor wornout tract of land at

Sparta, Wisconsin. The entire legume

crop was plowed under. The follow-

ing table gives the results secured:

The above data is an average of five

years’ work. It shows that clover is

especially valuable for green manuring

purposes. No man can afford to farm

his land without growing legumes and

occasionally plowing under a legume

crop. Legumes, when plowed under,

add humus, increase the water-holding





capacity of the soil, bind the soil par-

ticles together, add nitrogen and fur-

nish other readily available plant food

for the fast-growing crop, such as corn.

Results secured at the Sparta Station

indicate that two tabs of clover (dly

basis) plowed under are equal to ten

tons'of manure in producing crops dur-

ing the following year.





Compact your soil thoroughly after

plowing under a legume crop. Many

corn and potato crop failures follow

plowing under legumes, due to a too

loose soil which brings about a.

droughty condition during midsummer.

At nearly every farmers’ meeting I

have attended someone states, “that

he had turned under a green crop and

had a succeeding crop failure.” These

men usually admit that they never us-

ed a disc or roller on the field; just

used a light barrow and planted the

crop. Such slipshod methods will nev-

er produce good crops on light soils.

Use a disc harrow and a Culti-paoltcl,

especially after plow 111;“ "“ Ezra agreen

crop.



Rye can be turned under with geod

results, providing the straw has not

become too coarse or woody. It does

not rank with the legumes in produc-

ing better crops. Buckwheat is anoth~

er crop that cannot be recommended

on light soil for a green crop. In some

instances plowing under buckwheat

has resulted in considerable injury .to

succeeding crops, even when handled

properly. Soybeans and clover always

produce better yields, are dependable

and should be grown frequently for

green manuring purposes.

' CURRENT COMMENT





N an open letter to





Side Lights 'the public, Mr. W.





K. Prudden, former

on the Fuel federal fuel admian'

Situation. trator for Michigan,





discusses the fuel sit-

uation, past and present, in a decidedly

frank and refreshing manner. He

makes it entirely clear that from his

observation both coal and coke profit-

eers prospered under the price regu-

lations which were in effect during the

period of control, this in part to the

manipulations of interested parties in

positions of authority and in part to





coal “contracts” which enabled open,





ators to receive a price far in excess

of the government price, under the ex-

ception made in favor of contracts

made by coal operators prior to August

23, 1917, but which he does not class

as bona fide contracts properly coming

under that exemption. Mr. Prudden’s

allegations, which are specific, and

supported in some degree by docu-

mentary evidence, are made the basis

of the suggestion that if the investiga-

tions which are now being made by

the grand jury at Indianapolis, and the

senate committee at Washington, are

able to bring to light all the facts it

will be found that the coal operators

are responsible, in part at least, for the

calling and long continuance of the re-

cent coal strike. He also makes his

analysis the basis of a plea for early

and drastic action to prevent the year

1920 from being “the banner year for

coal profiteering.” The two things

which Mr. Prudden believes the gov-

ernment should immediately do are to

abrogate, or provide adequate super-

vision of, thealleged bona fide “coal

contracts,” which he charges have

been an aid to wholesale profiteering,

and to rescind the Fuel Administration

order of December 8, 1919, which put

back into operation the Blauvelt order

relative to the method of establishing

prices on by-product‘ coke, which pro-

vided for the addition to base prices

of the freight rate from the nearest

competing “bee hive” district, which

methods he charges enabled operators

to make exorbitant profits.

Unquestionably, as federal fuel ad-

ministrator for Michigan, Mr. Prudden

had a better opportunity to correctly

assess the coal situation during the

period of regulation than did any other

citizen of the state, and the courage

with which he backs his convictions in

Contracts



~ igan to secure amore

favorable contract for their next sea-

son’s crop. This effort is commendable

because, under present conditions the

producers of foodstuffs are laboring

under a. handicap which justifies the

use of every reasonable and proper

means to secure an equitable price for

their products. It is a. belated effort,

because its leaders apparently did not

awaken to the opportunity to serve

the beet growers inthis emergency un-

til the contracts had been signed for

the major portion of the 1920 acreage.

Whether the present price of ten dol-

lars a ton based on nine-cent sugar,

with an additional dollar per ton for

each cent per pound of the average

wholesale price of sugar above nine

cents per pound. is an equitable price

is a very proper matter for inquiry and

investigation by the farmers of beet

growing sections, who have not yet

contracted to grow them at that price.

But the repudiation of contracts enter-

ed into in good faith is no more com-

mendable on the part of farmers than

on the part of labor organizationsor

on the part of beet growers than it

would be on the part of the sugar man-

ufacturers.



We hold no brief for the sugar man-

ufacturers in this controversy. Rather

we believe that the presumption of

right is with the producers of the raw

material, but the facts are capable of

being fairly arrived at by proper study

and investigation. This is a proper

and desirable function of organized as

well as individual beet growers, which





should be vigorously pursued. Even if

eral signing of contracts for the 1920

crops which is. reported in may local

it will be possible to fairly and intelli-

gently negotiate a new. contract



the manufacturers without needlessly

jeopardizing production in what has

come to be an essential industry. as

would a. general, repudiation of ‘con-

tracts already made. The leaders in a.

movement looking toward such action

are assuming a graVe responsibility in

the, curtailment of production, of. this

essential foodstuff in a time of present

and prospective shortage, which is com-

parable to the responsibility for the

curtailmentin the production of steel

and coal by similar means.

,T has been a common belief among

potato growers during the last few

Some of the authorities were very

much inclined to consider the produc-

reference to cost. it was quite a com- ~

men thing “for public speakers to urge‘





farmers to increase their production

pecial attention to at this time is the

changed attitude of many potato grow-

ers relative to the production end of

the'industry since they became inter-

ested in cooperative marketing. VWhen

the" growers began to handle their own

products they soon realized as never.

before the importance of quality in the

product offered for sale. The turning

down of a few cars, especially on a dc:

clining market brought to their atteno

tion very forcibly the value of a stan-

dard, dependable article. The growers ’

also are disposed to make greater ef-

forts along the line of reduced cost of

production per unit. They realized

that they have under their control to

a, considerable extent the cost of pro-

duction. In this connection some grow-

ers have come to 1ealize that a low

yield of potatoes f1 equently means pro-

duction at a loss. it is their desire to

secure as high a yield per acre as pos—

sible and at the same time to produce

that yield at as low a cost as possible,

realizing that such a combination

means a low cost per hundred pounds

or per bushel. In order'to avoid dan-

ger of over-production and correspond-

ing low prices and small returns many

growers are reducing their acreage and

trying to increase the preduction and

lower the cost on the acreage and

quantity grown



Growers are as a class, paying more

attention to standardization of varie-

ties or rather elimination of undesir-

able varieties, to the quality of seed

used,’to the selection and preparation

of the soil for potatoes, to the cultNa-

tion of the crop and to the protection

against insects and diseases, than ever

before. They are doing this because

they realize that these factors have a.

direct bearing on the cost of produc-

tion, the quality of the product and

and correlate the interests of these

named secretary.



The Michigan State Farm Bureau

was then in existence. But what was

it to do? What means and methods





’ did it have to act with? The first ques-





tion was not difficult to hazard a guess

at, but the second proved a. poser, and

inability to find the answer to it, block-

ed" the answer to the first.



It was not long before it was discov-

ered that essential expenditures, With-

out leaving anything for vital agricul-

tural promotion Work, would require

at least $5, 000 £01 the year; that

pledges from forty- two counties meant

a possible gross membership income

of $2,100, and that only fifteen counties

had paid in the $50 fee, leaving the in-

fant organization in debt.



Bingham, the secretary, learning of





the scope of the activities of the 1111-.





nois Agricultural Association and the

sturdy. plan for financing there on the

basis of a $5.00 annual membership

fee from the individual farmers, inves-

tigated and on August 5 called together

delegates from the various counties

who had shown any active interest in





the State Farm Bureau at Grand‘





Rapids.



J. C. Sailor, the membership cam-

paign manager of the Illinois Associa-

tion, was there and told the remark-

able story of the sensational develop-

ment of the Illinois Association from

a “paper” status to a live“, progressive

and efficient working institution. Bing-

ham then said he had the plans all

ready for Michigan to blossom out sim-





ilarly and was only waiting word "to





go ahead” with them.



Those plans called for a state-wide

membership campaign which was to

reach every farmer in the state. The

memberships were who on a basis of





$5.” annually to the State Farm Buy





new and $5.00 annually to the County

Farm Bureaus, and to be for three-year

“Go ahead," was the answer then

Butthere was a huge

lined to success, amorous fund was

imperative. Where was it to be got-





,ten'l' From the farmers themselves,





some suggested. The _ attempt ' was

made, but pieces of paper called notes,





which Bingham toted all Over the state





for farmers to sign and supply the

wherewithal to initiate proceedings

were dodged and the attempt to get

funds in this way‘proved a. complete

failure. The farmers of the state were

skeptical of success for such an unus—

ual membership scheme.



Just‘.one avenue remained open for

Bmgham in his quest for the “oil" for

his membership campaign machine. He,

went out in the market to borrow. And

he found the Michigan Coalition Com-

mittee, a group of representative men





of many different. industries and vocai





tions, non-partisan and non-sectarian,

with money to use in the betterment

of economic conditions in Michigan.

After convincing this committee that

the Michigan State Farm Bureau was

not a radical or political instrument,

but that it was truly striving sanély

for betterment of agricultural condi-

tions in Michigan, the coalition com-

mittee offered to lend the funds neces-

sary for the upb’uilding of the State

Farm Bureau. A'Nearly two score of

prominent farmers, believers in the fu-

ture of the Michigan State Farm Bu-

reau, authorized acceptance of the

loan. This occurred on September 12,

1919. _

The road was then clear for the pro-

gressive development of the Michigan

State Farm Bureau. Oakland‘county,

the first to pledge a $50 membership

more than six months before, asked to

be the first to stage the membership

campaign. On October 15 this cam-

paign started. Close to 1,900 members

were secured there. The state drive

then rapidly extended into fourteen

other counties, Barry, Allegan, Glad-

win, Montcalm, Lapeer, Genesee, Van

Buren, St. Clair, Macomb, Kent, Wash-





imam-1.091., Shiawamo, m Otto-

we. and new. the state Wu

slightly better than 20,000 members.

Most of the state undoubtedly will be

campaigned in- the remainder of the

year and it would not be rash to say





that better than 100 ,000 members for





the Michigan State Farm Bureou will

be the result.



And now other states, who learned

of Michigan’s development while at-

tending the national organization meet-

,zng in Chicago last November, in, which

Michigan participated, want to‘know

how. Michigan grew up so fast. They

want Michigan’s aid Intheir develop-

ment. Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri are

the most insistent and some,aid has

been extended them. Even far away

California wants advice of Michigan

now.

One of the most important actions.

out of the routine of an annual meet-

rejection of the national federation’s

constitution As some twenty State

Farm Bureau sociations already

have ratified the document, there

seems little room for supposition that

Michigan will not play cards the same

way, though, inasmuch as Michigan





will be one of the main props financier '

next few years, it is not unlikely that

the ratification will he made with the

same reservations adopted by Illinois

reservations were to the effect that the

HE question of consolidated

schools is one that has agitated

, farmers’ organizations of all

—kinds, in Michigan, for many years.

Members of local granges and mem-

bers \of the State Grange have clashed

' r sharply, in the past, over the proposi-

-. . ‘ , ' tion. For years and years the consoli-

I ”521.." a dated school has been a favorite topic

‘ for discussion at Pomona Grange meet-

‘ ings. No question has awakened more

, animated discussion, and over no ques-

tion have' opposing sides been more

sharply drawn.

, But, although centralized schools

have been long talked about by the

farmers of Michigan, so far, the move—

ment has proceeded little farther than

. ' the‘talking stage. And this, too, when

’ ‘ j the neighboring states of Ohio and In-





 





1' ‘l t !

aw . W1 M1»

. . '





diana have made long strides in rural

school improvement. Not long since,

an Ohio man said to the writer: "Ohio

can put it over Michigan when it comes

I“ to good roads and fine rural schools. "

' ‘ The children of this man are -enJoymg

l and have always enjoyed since old

enough to attend, the superior advan-

tages of the consolidated schoolsys-

tem. Into Michigan, of late years, have

come a. host of Ohio and Indiana peo-

ple—farmers and permanent home-

. ' makers. Many of these folks know

, what the consolidated school.is like,

and many of them are staunch support~

ers of the system; 'In the final show-

down, these people are going to hasten

the day of consolidated. school, for

Michigan.

. A campaign for consolidated schools

I , , is now being waged in Hillsdale coun-

ty. R. C. Young, the progressive and

able school commissioner, is at the

head of the movement. Meetings have

already been held in several townships

and during the winter and spring, the

7 campaign will be carried into every

township in the county.





In setting forth the situation as it

now exists in the section under con.

sideration, Litchfield township will

serve, with» some variations, of course,

as4an illustration: applicable to all. In

Litchfield township, the increase in the



. number of foreign students attending

. .made necessary the construction of

._ fl " more school buildings. The advocates

_ ' of‘ consolidated schools are making the

. ' 1 most of this, in their campaign. They

._ , contend, _and wisely, too, that now is

,.;_ “ the time to make the change. If new

Z -, accommodations must be provided, let

‘ them confdrm to the new system that



‘ must surely come, in the course of hu-

. .





Many of the district schools are small,

and the school tax is high. Consolida-

tion would mean, say its champions,





greater eflicienCy, and, in the long run, . '





less expense.



In the campaign now being waged

there seems to be two principal rea-

sons for ‘opposition. The first is, of

course, economic“ It is the first cost

which staggers the timid ones. The

grasping and selfish ones look not only

at this first cost, but they fear an in-

crease in taxation as a result of the

change. Many, even of the most stren-

uous opponents, admit, however, that

after the change has once been made

and the school has been established,

the proposition will be of advantage

from the economic standpoint.





r The other reason for opposition is”,





largely sentimental. It is the olden

against the destruction of the “Little

Red School House,” although in this

case, the school house happens to be

almost any color except red. Puerile

as this objection seems to many, it

must be admitted that it has a strong

hold in the hearts ’and minds of folks





 





who; are neither ignorant. nor unpro-

gressive. With most of 11's, the scenes

and associations of childhood and

youth cling with tenacity to the heart

strings, and influence more than we

are willing to own, our decisions on im-l

portant questions. l





But selfishness and sentiment alike

must give way at last, before the on:

ward march of humanity. Like bettei

roads, the consolidated school is bound

to come to Michigan. First of all, it

spells greater efficiency. Better equip-

ment, better teachers,a wider field of

opportunity for the boys and girls from

the farms—these ale some of the‘

things for which consolidation stands.

Advancement in one field means ad-

vancement in all. The automobile has

made road construction imperative. l

Better roads and the automobile are

hastening the day .of consolidated

schools. A half dozen miles from a

school house is not so far now, as a

mile once was, and that not so long

ago. Rural free delivery, the rural tel-

ephone, and the automobile have revo-

lutionized rural life. Next in order.

comes the consolidated school. Like

all progressive movements which have

for their object the betterment of the

race, the consolidated school willcome

at last. It has, come to many other

states, and will





son, but conditions demand it, and it

will surely come. The' district school

houses that dot the land, have served

their purpose, and they have served it

well. With the march of. time and

events, these school. houses that nestle

in the valleys «and on the hill-tops of

Michigan, must become but a memory.

The fact that great men and women

them from going the way of all mate

tem has been thoroughly tested, Let‘

How Some Farmers

Miss the Profit





Higher wages for farm labor and higher cost

of seed, equipment and supplies make it necessary

to secure a higher return on the money invested





,in producing crops.





But here is one source of profit that some farmers miss.

In choosing fertilizer, remember that the form of the plant

food 15 just as important as the analysis, for the materials used

should vary according to the needs of the crop, the character of

the soil and the climate. Two fertilizers alike in analysis but

made of diflercnt materials often produce widely different re.

sults. Secure the best results and get the greatest profit by usmg





A A C Fertilizers





They are made of materials that have given the best results

in actual crop tests,— conducted on many farms in many states,

under dificrcnt soil and climatic conditions. A gain of thirty to

forty bushels of potatoes per acre by using fertilizer best suited

to the crop is not unusual. Equally good gains have been found





with other crops. Our Agricultural Service Bureau 15 1n charge

' a fine business and stay by it. If they

get well started,‘ along comes some





man and, tempts them with a‘ good-

The wife and family have little ambi-

‘ , . tion in the way of a fine farm and a

{ things it is hard to lift dairy farming



up to the plane it ought to occupy. In

' all European countries the ownership

‘3 a: l ing in society. Such a spirit prevail-

ing in this country would put pride,

ambition and solid, strong purpose in

the mind of the farmer and his family.



This spirit ought to prevail on every

dairy farm in the country. It does pre-





vail with a certain number of men,‘





particularly those who are improving

Four Essentials M

[in a Tractor Plow ‘





First—A safe margin of strength in all parts sub-

ject to strain, because you can’t afferd delays when ‘ '

every hour is werth a two—dollar bill. —

Seeond——Simplicity and strength in the power

lift device, because delicate or complicated mech-

anism here is likely to go wrong under the stress

of hard plowing. ‘ '





Third—~Convenience of handling, because of '

loss of time in running a tractor outfit runs into

money rapidly.



Fourtthlenty of clearance between plow bot—

toms and between front bottom and furrow wheel,

to avoid clogging when plowing deeply in trashy

or straw-covered fields.





B. F. Avery Tractor Plows





excel in all these respects. Axles, beams, beam =

braces and coulter stems are of extra size. Power

lift device consists of. a strong, simple clutch

mounted on the furrow axle and directly connected

with furrow lever—no chains or sprockets. The

wheel box forms the moving part of the clutch,

reducing the number of wearing parts. '



Only one lever to adjust to change depth of

plowing and this can be done without stopping

the tractor. ‘





Call on the B. F. Avery dealer and examine

this plow.

nure handled- and '«applied... properly,

considerable plant food is lost through





' leaching from the soil'and~ throughsell- .





ing grain. livestock, milk, etc, from

the farm. If crop yields are- to be

maintained or increased in size com-

mercial fertilizers must be used to re-

place losses. Manure partially makes





» up for these losses, but only to a Very





limited extent.



Nature has placed 'appro’ximately fif-

teen hundred pounds of nitrogen, eight

hundred pounds of phosphorus and 25,

000 pounds of potash in the average





’ sandy soil. Every crop grown and sold





takes some portion of these essential.

plant foods froth‘the 'soil. Every rain

which washes through the soil dis-

solves plant food,’ ancestries some





. away. 'Saudy soils cropped for a long





period of years have been analyzed

and found to contain less than one-

half of the above elements; A good

producing soil usually has over twice

as‘much nitrogen and phosphorus as

that given for the aVerage sandy soil.

By studying the above comparisons

we can readily see that the small





amount of manure on the average farm .

crops one can vary ‘ the amounts of





will never supply this deficiency.





The introduction .of fertilizer into

the middle states has been slow, main-

ly because of the newness and natural

fertility of the soil as well as the sys-

tem of farming followed. Gypsum was

first used with indifferent results.

Farmers did not at that time realize





that gstum or land plaster has the





same effect on the soil as a hypodermic

injection of drugs has on a sick-person.

Gypsum stimulates and produces great-

er crops for a short period. but its con-

tinued use may prove detrimental.

Commercial fertilizers are not soil

stimulants. Plants demand or need

fertilizers just as we need food. The





average sandy soil must be supplied 7





with this food to grow crops properly.

Feeding plants with fertilizers by add-





.ing them to the soil is, however, a com-





plex problem, and the man who fer-

tilizes is not always sure that he will

see a large increase in yield every time

he treats his soil.

such as weather, drainage, etc: must

be considered, or'have a decided elfect

on making a crop that fertilizers alone

sometimes do not produce better crOps.





Fertilizers sometimes do fail to pro-

duce better crops. The reasons given

below explain some of these failures:





1. Weather is too dry. ‘ Fertilizers do





'not dissolve and become available to





plants; or plants do not secure enough

moisture to grow properly.



2. Improper drainage on low, wet,

sandy lands near marshes. No water

may appear on the surface, but‘is too

near the surface, making a cold, wet

soil. _



3. Using the wrong fertilizer. Light

or sandy soils usually require a com-

plete fertilizer. Study the fertilizer

recommendations given later in this

article.





 





 





4. The application of fertilizer is

too small or is not applied properly.

They may be spread broadcast and

disced in or applied on the row with a

fertilizer attachment toia corn or po-

tato planter. Broadcast applications

may be put on with a manure spreader,

fertilizer drill or spread by hand.





5. The soil is too sour 'or acid, pro--





verging fertilizers from bemg utilized

by the plant. Apply limestone as di-

rected. - , ' , '



6. Ho organic matter or humus in

the sell. Fertilizers .on, sandy soils

rows of corn, and 25.0 pounds where it,» ..

is broadcasted. When a legume'crop':

like clover or soybeans has been turn-1 ‘

ed down then the farmer should add. _





about 100 pounds of a 2.1054 fertilizer.

if applied in rows and about 290’ pounds

if broadcasted. With tentbns of ma-' .

Potatoes, Beets, Etc.——With ‘these;

nitrogen and potash by using a 3-8-4"

or a. 1-8-6 mixture on land that has not



had an application of manure. Apply



this fertilizer on the row at the rate of



from 500 to 1000 pounds per acre. If.’

manure has been applied at the rate of .

ten tons per acre then add a 0-12-4 or .

all-8-3 fertilizer at the rate of 5007

pounds on the rows.





Oats and Rye—Without a manure "





or legume- application put on from 200

to 300 pounds of a 240-4 fertilizer and

where a legume has been plowed under

use the same amount of a 2-12-2 or a.

2-10-2 fertilizer mixture. With a ten-

ton application of manure broadcast

800 pounds of a 0:16-0 grade. .

Clover, Alfalfa and Soybeans.—

Broadcast from 200 to 300 pounds of

a 210-44 fertilizer where no manure has

been applied and from 500 to 1000

pounds of rock phosphate where ten

tons of manure has beenspread.



The above table gives only general

recommendations. Individual condi-

tions on different farms may demand

different treatment. The progressive

farmer will fertilize every crop he

grows on light soils.





Results with Fertilizers.



Eight farmers in Marinette ”county.

Wisconsin, used a 3-8-3 fertilizer on

potatoes during 1917 at 50 pounds per

acre applied on the rows. The aver-

agé increase per acre was thirty-eight

bushels. The fertilizer cost $15. The

potatoes sold .for $1.00 per bushel for

a total value of $38 produced by $15

invested in fertilizer. These men av-

eraged 153 per cent on their invest-

ment.



Potato growers in Oneida county.

Wisconsin, haVe used several earloads

of 3-8-4 fertilizer during 1919 and re-

port increaSes in yield ranging from

twenty-live to 150 bushels per acre.

This fertilizer was applied in amounts

varying from 500 to 1,000 pounds per

acre. They consider fertilizing very

profitable.



Potato growers in the east, especial-

ly in the state of Maine, hardly ever

use less than 1,000 pounds of fertilizer

per acre and consider its use very

profitable. '



On ”very poor sandy soil at the





a .





Sparta Station, (Wisconsin), the oven





age yield of com covering a five-year

period was increasedgfrom six to forty-

four bushels per acre by the use of

acid phosphate, petals}! and limestone

traction and cushioning of pneumatics help

farmers to get better prices by making safer and

more dependable deliveries.





It is «consistently reported that pneumatics

enable shippers to reduce the shrinkage of live-

stock 1n transit and to unload at Stockyards on

time despite Weather conditions.





The r_scarc1ty of help is not such a handicap to

these "farmers, because they have thrown off the

other handicap of slow hauling, either by teams

or on solid truCk tires. ‘ ~.

Professor Thomas C. Atkeson, the

present Washington representative of

the National Grange, -is probably the

most influential farm lobbyist that the

country has produced He has discuss-

ed farm problems with every president

since the days of Grover Cleveland and

many senators and congressmen are

his personal friends, and confer With

him when they want the farmer’ s View-





" point on public questions. Professor





Atkesbn was a. member of the Board

of Regents which established the West

Virginia College of Agriculture and be-

came its first dean. Hehas been mas-

ter of the West Virginia 'State‘Grange

for nearly thirty years. but more than

all in the estimation or the folks back

home, Professor Atkcson is a. practical

farmer, who in company with a son,

conducts a large farm in the Kanawha

Valley. Being a farmer himself and

spending much' of his life time in con

tact with

farmer’s point of view, an essential





‘ qualification as a farmers’ representa-





tive.



Professor Atkeson has an able assist-

ant in A. M. Loomis, a former western

New York farm paper editor, who was

secretary of the Chautauqua and Lake

Erie Fruit Growers’ Association for

twelve years, and was instrumental in

organizing the Chautauqua Farm Bu

reau, the second organization of its

kind to be formed in the'state.



The National Board of Farm Organi-

zations maintains oflices, in a fine old

residence near the White House. Mr.

Charles A. Lyman, its secretary, who

is in 'charge of its Washington activi-





ties, was reared on a farm and until





called .to his present position was a

dairy farmer in Wisconsin. He stud-

ied agriculture in the British” Isles and

is a graduate of the University of Wis-

consin. He has had a large experience

as a farm organization representative.

With him at present is R. F. Bower,

legislative agent of the National Farm-

ers’ Union. Mr. Bower is a farmer, op-

crating a flfteen-hundred—acre farm at

Charlottesville, Virginia. Both of these

men have the confidence, not only of

the farm leaders but also of the farm-

ers in the states from which they have

come.



The National Board of Farm Organi-

zations is a federation of fourteen‘ farm

societies. Among its managing direc-

tors are Charles S..Barrstt. of Georgia.

president of the Farmers’ National Un-

ion»; Milo D. Campbell, of Michigan,

president of the National Milk Produc-

ers’ Association; N. P. Hull, of Michi-

gan, president, and William T. Greasy,

of Pennsylvania, secretary of the Na.-

tional Dairy Union; R. D. Cooper. of

New York, president and J. D. Miller,

of Pennsylvania, vice-president of the

Dairymen’s League; J. A. McSparran,

master of Pennsylvania State Grange;

Henry C. Wallace, of Iowa, secretary





" of the Corn Belt Meat Producers' 'As-





socialion; Glliford Pinchot. president

of Pennsylvania Rural Progress Asso-

ciation. and other well known farm or-

ganization leaders.





This organization was formed in,





1917 by a number of prominent farm





. leaders who saw the need of unity of





action among the'various groups of

farmers for the purpose of securing

mr agriculture the recognition from

the government that it rightly de-ean

serves.1tl objects are outlined in the

following Mm:





real farmers, he has the





“To afford a ready means at giving ' '

voice and weight- to the rim 0! the

farmers in natiOnal stairs.



“To promote the W a the

farm families of America. to com

and increasathe influence of those who

feed and clothe the people, and to

further a national recognition of the





(power and position of the farmer in





national life.



"To increase the value of the ser-

vice of the farmer to the alien. and

of the nation to the farmer.” '





The reader will no doubt agree with

me that this is an excellent prom-sin.

It would seem that all farm or

tions ought to unite their interests and

influence in one central representative

body. The theory of unity is beautiful

to look upon. But in actual practice

it has succeeded perhaps a little better

than the age-old preposition to bring

all the christian denominations ages:

er in one federation or consolidated or-

ganization. Instead of one central ‘

headquarters in Washington, repre-

senting all the organized farmers there

are three, and there, is considerable

sentiment in farm organization circles

that the American Federation of Farm

Bureaus should be represented ‘ in

Washington, which may mean the es-

tablishing of another farm headquar-

ters here.





The Farmers’ National Council occu-

pies rooms in a building facing the

Capitol, and its managing directors

are George P. Hampton and Benjamin

C. Marsh. Affiliated with the council





are the American Society of Equity.





the Ancient Order of Gleaners, several

western Granges, and .a dozen or more

organizations whose names I had nev-

er heard until I called at the council’s

headquarters.



Mr. Hampton says he is‘ a resident

of New York state and a member of

the Grange. In 1906 and 1907, accord‘

ing to his statement, he represented

the National. Grange in Washington,

and later led a revolt in the Grange

ranks, which it is evident landed the'

revolters outside the breastworks. He

is an able man, a well trained lobbyist

and a born propagandist. His views

upon public questions are somewhat

radical, but .he prefers to‘ be called a.

progressive. He is opposed to nearly

everything that the two other head-

quarters favor and he is vigorously ad-

vocating'things that the other organi-

zations are persistently opposing. And

as the director of a regiment of farm

organizations and so—callod farm organ-

izations he claims to represent the

farmers. SO‘We have the spectacle of

two organizations claiming to repre-

sent the farmers. where directors are

appearing before legislative commit-

tees, buttonholing congress and pull-

ing all the wires at their command to

carry their point; yet diametrically op‘

posing each other on about every ques-

tion that comes before the house and

senate for action.



In my next letter I shall refer to

some of the things these-timers!“ farm

representatives have done and are now

doing, and leave it to tlfe ‘ farmers

themselves to judge as to who are

their real representatives in Washing-

ton. .

are shapes and styles to suit every requirement.





Compare them point by point with any

HE radium-up" of the eastern

fruit growers at the annual. meet—

ing of the New York State Horti-

cultural Society in Convention «Hall,

Rochester January 14-16. Was "charac-





pests, soil fertility problems and" the

unusual attention given to Small fruits

and vineyard crops. The production





. of grapes and berries was large last





season and these fruits brought very

attractive prices, which will undoubt-

edly lead to an increased planting of





of the vineyards in the big grape belts.

Just now .it is evident that truitgrow-

era are more interested in improving

the quality of their products than in

marketing, especially apple growers.





In the large exhibition building the

display of apples, pears and other

fruits was large and attractive. The

Geneva, Experiment Station had a very

large exhibit of box apples. The ma-

chinery and nursery exhibits occupied

a greater part of three floors.



The attendance during the. three

days reached the highest mark set by





years. Many growers were present

from New England, Pennsylvania,

Maryland and other sections. As a

means of interesting the young men in

fruit farming. boys under twenty-one

years of age when accompanied by

their fathers, were admitted free, as





' were all students of agriculture in high





schools and colleges‘accompanied by

their teachers.



7 One of the most highly interesting

features of the" meeting was a paper

on “The Present Status of Dusting,”

by Professor W. H.‘ Whetzel, plant

pathologist at the State College of Ag-

riculture. 4 The subject of dusting has

been before the fruit growers for set"

eral years Np other question ismf

more general interest, according to

Professor Whetzel, with the exception

of marketing. Every grower is debat-

ing on the question, “Shall I spray or

The question is not

that a dry material is any more effec-

tive than a wet material of the same

kind; but whether you can dust a dry

material onto plants as efficiently as

you can spray.



A summary of four years of experi-

ments in New York state showed an

average of forty-three per cent of scab

on apples in the unsprayed orchards;

in sprayed orchards eleven per cent,

and on dusted trees twelve per cent.





’ In controlling codlin moth, there was





seven per cent in sprayed orchards;

live in dusted orchards, and twenty-

one onunsprayed trees. ~



Michigan dusting experiments since

1915, four years, showed a little higlr

er per cent of scabxon dusted than on





dusting have improved each year, be-

ing more effective this year than ever

before.



Results of experimental dusting in

Nova Scotia. are similar to those in

New York. Taking the three years,

there was an average 0f forty-eight per

cent of scab on unsprayed, seven per

cent on sprayed, and five per cent on

dusted trees. '



In Minnesota there was a ' less





' amount of serious scab on the dusted





and more marke‘table fruit than in the

sprayed orchards. For scab and cod-

lin moth dusting has proved as old

cient as spraying.

Professor Whetzel spent a. week in

Nova Scotia not long ago, visiting the _ 9





apple orchards in the [Annapolis Val-

ley. He found that fifty dusters were

used in the valley, and two hundred

will be used this year. Not a. single

commercial apple grower opposed dust-





.ing.





Being a strong believer in'th'e great-

er efficiency of copper as a fungicide,





\





Professor G.’ F. Sanders, dominion en- .





tomologist, set about the development

of a dry mixture to replace liquid Bur.

deaux. His tests in 19.18 and in 1917

on both apples and potatoes have dem-

onstrated the efficiency of his new

copper dust. It consists ,of a miXture

of very finely ground dehydrated cop-

per sulphate and hydrated lime. The

formulae used last season was dehy-

drated copper sulphate, eight oodnds;

arsenate of lime,‘four pounds; hydrat-l

ed lime, eighty-eight pounds. Professor

Sanders thinks the copper sulphate

could be increased to ten pounds re-

ducing the lime tO'eighty-six pounds

per hundred. This mixture goes much





farther than the 90-10 sulphur dust.





mixture commonly used. Experiment-

al plats and orchards dusted four





times with this ‘copper dust mixturg-





show good control of scab and but a

slight russeting of the frilit, and. with

no inJury to the foliage.





Dusting for brown rot control in

peach orchards has given excellent re-

sults in Georgia, West Virginia, New

York and two or three other states. 013

thirty-four peach growers in New York

state interrogated as to the effective

ness of dusting for brown rot, twenty-

three reported seventy-five to one hun-

dred per cent control; _. six reported

fifty per cent or less; thirty-one will

dust peaches next year, and three will

not. Of twenty-one growers dusting

cherries for leaf blight, twenty got sat-

isfactory results, and will dust this

year.





zel that the next advance made in dust-

ing will be a mechaniéal one, an im-





provement upon the distributor. When





dusters have been improved as much

as sprayers have there will be no long-

er use for Sprayers.





The cost account kept in Nova, Soc.

tia. shows that-dusting can be done at

a. lower cost than spraying. Dusting

saves two~thirds of your time, and dust

can be put'on at the critical time, thus

insuring greater efficiency and econo-

my- in mouse of materials.





In his annual address, President U

P. Hedrick said that all things consid-

ered, the past year has been a poor

one for New York fruit growers. Fruit

crops have been below the average,

and while prices have seemed high,

they are low when the coat» of labor.

material and what money will buy are

considered. The grape grower has been

most fortunate. having marketed a fair

crop at a price which would have been

high a few years ago but is no more





- than reasonable at the present time





The blame far this partial failure in

1919 can hardly be attributed to the

fruit grower. -It is true that many or-

chards have been shamefully neglect-

ed in the past few years,_ but in most

cases this has 11%an of: the im-

work together. The main- advance in

in collective. bargaining. The legal

Referring to the politics in the De-

school in this broad land, attended by

sturdy young Americans, who some

day- will be the national bulwark

against destructive and evil-minded

forces. But in Missouri. Grand View

stands somewhat to the front of ac-

complishment in the state because of

obstacles overcome and success

reached amid the most discouraging

circumstances for such a school.



Grand View School is in as rough a

country as you could find outside of

the Ozarks. Yet girl students arise

long before daylight, milk the cows,

feed the hogs and chickens, help moth-

er with breakfast and to clean the

dishes, and set off for school at an hour

when most people are just studying

Some of

these girls travel three, four and five

miles to school, because Grand View

is the only rural high school in the

county, and it senves a wide section.

Some of the pupils come from'adjoin-

ing counties. The students walk, ride

horseback, and a few come in buggies.

No matter the method, or the weather,

they are all promptly at their desks by

nine a. m. The record shows that no

school in the county has a higher

standard of attendance. '





If the loads 1a11 along land lines. as





in most townships, the problem of the





student, getting to school would be ex—

ceedingly difficult, but they don’t.

'Foreseeing the imperative need of good

roads at once, the farmers of Drake

township built themalong the ridges,

which formed an almost perfect natur-

al roadway, high and well-drained. ‘In

places where some work was necessary

in the way of culverts and grading,





they promptly turned out and had ev--





erything in readiness when the school

year opened in September. The great-

er part of this work was done under

the direction'of Medley Hill, a public-

spirite'd farmer, who has no children

of his own, but who went over the





township .and conducted such a cam?





paign that he developed more School

and good roads enthusiasts than in any





, other township in the county. He had





always been a good roads man, eyen

before the move Was so popular as it

is now, and he quickly saw the estalr

lishment of a consolidated high school

in the center of the township would

be a clinching argument for good. roads

and he used it so effectively that Coun-

-—-‘ty School Superintendent O. L. Cross.

who was at Grand View recently, says

there are more and better earth roads

in Drake township than in any of the

other twenty-four townships in the





. county. ..

Now, as to this back-country high





 





   





schools three years before. and were

working around home, while the time

was slipping by and they were wonder-

ing why they could not have the ad-

vantages of other children. Their par-

ents spoke of the expense of going

away from home, and how they were

needed 011 Saturdays and Sundays.

Then Medley Hill got in the game and

with the assistance of several of the

leading farmers worked out the plan.

A nice, commodious building was con-

structed, Miss Myra Wright installed

as head instructor at a salary of $100

a month, a new $400 piano and a libra-

ry purchased and other modern equip-

ment, so that Grand View would not

be behind any high school in the

county.



“And the school is one hundred per

cent American,” ~ said Superintendent

Cross. “By that I mean American his-





tory and accomplishment are taught as'





the leading subjects. With a sagacity

beyond her years, Miss“ Wright, the

principal, has seen the trend of disloy-

alty in some sections of this land, and

has planned a way to meet it~the only

true way—by implanting love of coun-

try into the hearts of her students,“ and

~





she does this by explaining the mean;-

ing of our history. She tells them Am-

erica came into existence as a land for

the 'oppressed; 'that freedom and lib-

erty and a thorough respect for the

law made this the greatest nation of

the earth.





.“I wish all our teachers would take

those subjects as seriously as Miss

Wright does.





“Her students—boys and girls—are a

strong, husky lot. The girls can ride

horses over fences,‘ skate, swim, climb

trees and are the best long distance

walkers you ever saw. And While so

proficient in these outdoor exelcises,

sixteen of them are accomplished mu-

sicians. I’ve heard ’em play. They

have a $400 piano, bought last Septem-

ber, and it’s, a good one. They paid

for it themselves—those girls. Gave

pie socials and the like. Discharged

the debt three months before it was

due.





“The record of attendance of Gland

View is perfect, on important thing in

maintaining discipline. That means

many of the students have to get up

long before daylight on winter morn-

ings to do their chores. .When these

boys grow up and labor agitators come

‘round and talk about five-hour days

and less work they’ll laugh in their

faces. Thosa boys of Grand View know

what work is——work in the School and

work on the farm—and they keep at it

while the light burns. Thae's Why they

are so strong, clear- eyed .and healthy,





and they will make the fines-t type of





American citizens. -





“And right here let me say that our

country will nevel kneel at the feet of

the Russian Reds, theI. W. W.’s. or

whatever names the malcontents go by

as long as we have these sort- of

schools. They are the cradles of true

and in their stalwart





tion. "

the sheepman did not know.

O’Connor got the Circle C on' long

distance. It was the clear contralto of

a woman that answered his “Hello!”

“Is this MISS Cullison?’ he asked.

'true?” ' .

An intjrval folloWed during which

the rang r officer was put into the role

of a listener. His occasional “Yes——

Yes—Yes” punctuated the rapid mur-

muring‘ that reached Fendrick.~

Presently Bucky asked a question.

“On his way to town now?”

. Again the rapid murmur.

“I’ll attend to that, Miss Cullison. I

am in Fendric‘k’s room now. Make.

your mind easy.”

Bucky hung up and turned to the

sheepman. .The latter showed him a

face of derision. He had gathered one

thing that-disquieted‘ him, but he did

not. intend to let O’Connor know it. '

“Well?” he jeered. \“Find friend Cul-

lison in tolerable health ’2”





\





“I have been talking with his

daughter.”



“I judged as .much. Miss Spitfire

well?”





“Miss Cullison didn’t mention her

health. We were concerned about

yours.”



“Yes?”



“Cullison is headed for town and his

daughter is afraid he is on the war-

path against you.”



“You don’t say” .



‘fShe wanted me to get you out 0!

her father’s way until he has cooled

dorm."



“Very kind of her.”



“She’s right, too. You and Luck

mustn’t meet yet. Get out of here and

hunt cover in the hills for a few days.

You know why better than I do."



“How can I when I’m under arrest?”

Fendrick mocked.



“You’re not under arrest. Miss Cul-

lison says her father has no charge to

bring against you.”



“Good 0: him." ,



“So you can light a shuck as soon as

you want to."



“Which won’t be in any hurry.”



“Don’tmake any mistake. Luck Cul~

lison is a dangerous man when he is

roused.”



The sheepman looked at the ranger

with opaque stony eyes. “If Luck Cul-

lison is looking for me he is liable to

find me, and he won’t have to go into

the hills to hunt me either.”



Bucky understood perfectly. Accord-

ing to the code of the frontier no man

could let himself be driven from town

by the _knowledge that another Inan

was looking for him with a gun. There

are in the southwest now many thou~

sands who do not live by the old stan-

dard, who are anchored to law and

civilization -as a protection against

primitive passions. But Fendrick was

not one of these. He had deliberately

gone outside of the law in his feud

‘quarters of the rangers. The officer

switched, on the light, shut the door,

and indicated a chair. From his desk

he drew a box of cigars. He struck a

match. and held it 'for the sheepman be-

fore using it himself. '



Relaxed in his chair, Fendrick spoke

'with rather elaborate indolence.



“What’s your evidence, Bucky? You

can’t hold me without any. What have

you got that ties me to the W. & S

robbery?”



“Why, that hat play, Cass. You let

“Does that “prove I did it myself ?”



' “Looks funny you happened .to be

right there while the robebry was tak-

The sleepy tiger look lay ward? in

the sheepman’s eyes. “That’s what

Bucky.” - l



“They may. I’m not sure I do. ”



“Fact just the same ” ,

“It’s because I’m a white man that

He said it with a dogged finality that

was unshaken, but O’Connor made one

more effort. .



“Nobody Will know why you left.”



“I would know, wouldn’t 1? I’ve got .

to go right on living with myself. I

tell you straight I’m going to see it

“I wasn’t This is the way it happen-

"prove up on that Del Oro claim on ‘

Thursday. That would have put the

C. F. ranch out of business. ‘I knew he . .

was in town and at the Del Mar, but I

didn’t know where he would be next

day. He had me beat. I couldn’t see

any way out but to eat crow and offer

a. compromise. I hated it like hall, but

it was up to me to. hunt Luck up and

see what, he would do. His hat gave , -

me an excuse to call. So I started out ~ .‘

and came round the corner of San Mat-

eo Street just in time to. see the robber

pull out. Honest, the fellow did shape.

up as little like Luck. Right then I got

the damed fool'notion, of mixing him

up in it. ‘I threw his hat down and

shot a hole in it, then unlocked the

door of the express oflice carrying the .

hat in my hand. That’s all there was . i

to it.” ,

till I could turn round and think of a

Bucky reflected, looking at the long ' .

ash on his cigar. "The man that made I x ‘7 .

the mid of the W. 3R S. shaped up like '

Luck, you say?”



“In a general wayl.’



The ranger brushed the ash from the

end of the cigar " into the tray. Then

he looked quietly at Fendrick. “Who

was the man, Cass?”



“I thought I bid you—-—"



“You did. But you lied It was a

moonlight night.’ And there’s an‘arc

light at that corner. ,‘By your own

story, the fellow took off his mask as

he swung to his horse. You saw his ,

face just as distinctly as I see Pours _

now.”



“No, I reckon not,” Femirick said.



“Meaning you wait! .



“That’s not how I





“I wouldn’t because ‘I couldn’t. Don’t

make any mistake about this. I’m not

looking for Luck. I’m attending to my

business. Arrest him if you want to

stop trouble.”



There came a knock on the'door. It

opened to admit Luck, Cuilison. ,He

shut it and put his back to it, while

his eyes, hard as hammered iron, swept

past the officer htoflx on Fendrick.





The latter rose quickly from the bed,

but O’Connor flung him back.



“Don’t forget you’re my prisoner."



“He’s your prisoner, is he?” This

was a turn of affairs for which Luck

was manifestly unprepared: “Well.

I’ve come to have 1a little settlement

with him.”





Fendrick, tense as a coiled spring,

watched him wariiy. “Can’t be any

too soon to suit me.”



Clear cut as a pair of scissors

through paper Bucky‘snapped out his

warning. “Nothing stirring, ’ gentle-

men I’li shoot the first man that

makes a move. "



“Are you in this, Bucky?" asked Cul-

lison evenly.



“YOu’ re right I am.

oner.”



“What for?” '



“For robbing the W. 81: S."



Luck’s face lit. “Have you evidence

enough to cinch him 2” ’



"Not enough yet, but I’ll take no

chances on his getting away. '



The' cattleman’ s countenance reflect-

‘ed his thoughts as his deciSion hung in

the balance. He longed to pay his debt

' on the spot. .But on the other hand he

had been a sheriff himself. As an out-

sider. hehad no right to interfere be-

tween an officer and his captive. Be-

sides, if there was a chance to send

Fendrick over the road that would be

. was a small boy, *gorged with

porterhouse, who propounded the ques-

tion. Memories of the stews of yester-





and robbed“the steak of some of its

joys. “That’s the trouble with every-

thing,” he grumbled on. .“When it’s

you dasen’t eat the inside of the bread

and leave the crusts. Every blessed

”When I get big I’m going to have

‘money enough so I'll never have to do

anything I don’t want to,’ and I won't

eat anything but steaks and soft bread

and ice cream.” announced the first

boy largely.



“Yes, but someone will have to eat

the crusts.” objected the older boy.

“I’m going to have it so there won't be

any stews and crusts. Then we’ll have

It pretty aptly illustrates the two

types of people in the, world. One class

who want the white meat all the time.

who’d like to See the good things pass-

hasn’t made much headway. There

have always been the few who'grabbed

all the “White bread and chicken fix-

in’s" and left the “brown bread and

common doin's” for the folks who were

not clever enough—or'selflsh enough——

to grab first. But it begins to look as

though there was to be a change. An

,REMOVING IODINE STAINS.





 





MANY a housewife has been per-

plexed to know what to do with

iodine stains./ These are most often

made by accidentally spilling tincture

or iodine on cotton or linen goods, such

as clothing, table linen, etc. The cheap-

est, easiest, and most convenient way

to remove such stains, says Prof. Vail,

of the Colorado Agricultural College,

is to use the sale called sodium hypo

sulphlte or “hypo" by photographers

and druggists. Dissolve about one

ounce ”of hypo in about half a pint of

water, and immerse the stained por-

A Message





The trend to the city in the days

when farm products were low has caus-

ed some people to forget that the bulk

of young people still live away from

the great centers of population. With

prices for agricultural products at or

near the cost of production the exodus

'to city life was natural and American.

It is not characteristic of ambitious

American youths to be satisfied with

mere existence. They wish to better,

their condition and go forward. The





music or response while farming was

unprofitable.



The complaint of the high cost of

living sometimes finds a demand that

as the first step the cost of wheat and

corn and cotton and tobacco shall be

reduced to pre-war times. I hope nev-

er to live to see that day. Farmers,

like city folks, have passed the point





ing wage,” a phraSe much in vogue

some years ago. Nobody who labors

industriously and efficiently should be

satisfied with a living wage. They are

entitled'to a living wage or return and

then some. ' Comforts should be' the

reward of capable performance on the.

term, in factory and everywhere, with

something to lay by for a rainy day or

for old age.



The youths on the farm today see 3

Ibo you have had the same experience.

If you have, you know how the ants

instantly began to hustle for dear life.

another, they ran, and at first it did

in their hurrying. But as we watched

to wait and see.” Another lad had his

mind all made up. Quick as a wink

he said, “I’m going to be a farmer, like

my father.” All the differenCe in the

world,'you see, between the boy who

had no plan and the one who knew

just what he wanted to do. You do

not need to guess many times to think

which of those lads will make his mark

turn up in this world, we have to turn

them up.



Speaking to~a man who has done a

A BOY’S LIKES AND mamas—7

unmmnsss.





BOY has his likes and dislikes,

and he has them hard. Why, a

boy without his likes and dislikes

chameleon, he

would change color every time he as:





‘sociated with a different boy or bunch

of boys-=what the fellows





were, he

would be.



A boy has an instinctive dislike for

If a boy likes unfairness

it is not a natural taste; it has to be

learned by troublesome lessons while

he is having an awful time to still his

conscience as'it seems to shout at him,

“It isn’t fair! It isn’t fair!” It is an

acquired taste, like the taste for bitter

beer.



Every drop of blood in the veins of

a boy naturally rebels against trickery,

deceit and unfairness. My boy, you

can grow up to be tricky, unfair, dis-

honest, but the “Lord knows that you

will have a hard time doing it. There

is one thing’that has more lives than

a cat, and that this is the conscience





'of a boy. Just as a boy thinks he has





a strangle hold on his conscience it

awakes and performs more stunts than

a-crack aviator. .



Fairness appeals to a boy with irre-

My good father’s fair-

ness never seemed to fail. I was nev-

er punished unjustly or hastily. On the

old farm there were always tasks that

seemed to be beckoning to father, and

saying, “Me next!” To me they seemed

“Watch out! I will get you

yet!” '



But father was always fair when he

set me a task, he never expected a boy

to do two days’ work in one day. This

reminds me of the. story of the father

who was accustomed to lay out big

stunts of work for his three boys when-

ever he was absent for a day. This is

the 'story:



One day the pld farmer went to

town." Before leaving he laid out a

big day’s work for the boys. Just for

fun one of the boys said: “Dad, what

shall we do when that work is all

done?” If dad had saidza“Do, why, go

fishing, of course,” the boys *would

have said: “Dad’s all right!”

said: “Well, boys you can hoe that

patch 0’ corn next to the old pasture.”



The'boys winked at each other and

said: “Well, what shall we do next,

dad?"



Dad began to suspect that his boys

were incipient humorists. Dad could

also be humorous when opportunity

smiled upon him. He would show these

boys a thing or two. So he quickly

added a nice bunch of extra tasks, and

said: “Now, boys, when all those jobs

are finished you can saw up the wagon

and ’split the tongue into kindling

wood.”



Dad went away, chuckling to him-

self, but when he returned the tasks

were all done and the wagon tongue

had been reduced to kindling. The

temptation had been too great and the

boys had nearly worked themselves to

death to get the best of dad. I expect

that dad did a lot of thinking while he

Was using that expensive kindling. But

you do not have that kind of a dad. HeB

Every dollar, every effort, employed

in getting the land in shape to produce

large crops of grass, "forage and ~grain

feeds will yield a. large and compound-

ing interest. The returns from sys-

tems which give such results are. in

some instances, obtained rather slowly

at the outset, but they multiply with

the progress of the work. Any farmer

open to conviction can be shown to his

entire satisfaction that his net profits

can be largely increased by improving

Within a few years soils-that

have yie‘ldéd scant crops can be restor-

ed to full productive vigor. Any man

who sets about it intelligently can

build up the productivity of his land

to a. point beyond its‘virgin condition.

Soils that have been properly handled

and fed are richer, so far as crop pro-

duction is .concerned, than they were

before the plow touched‘them. To feed

his 5011 and adopt a proper rotation of

crops should be every dairy farmer’s

foremost object. His largest returns

lie in the direction of producing a max-

imum of dairy products per acre. The

path is clear; the experience of others

stands as a guide to direct him.





As one travels among dairy farmers

in different parts of the country he is

greatly impressed with the fact that

much of the money spent for improve-

ments has been wasted in doing things

that are only temporary: that must be

done over and over again. Dairy farm-

ers are constantly repairing buildings

and fences, building new walls and

new foundations, patching leaking

roofs and mending broken gates. The

tax of maintenance (in theifarm is too

large and now is the time to begin to

correct this evil. For the sake of the

remaining years on the old farm, for

the sake of the boys that will come af-

ter us, let us not look at things so

cheaply, and build more for perma-

nence, so far as we are able. Concrete

makes substantial foundations 'and

floors. It makes cheap walls for the

lower stories of dairy barns and out

houses. Concrete corner posts and-gate

posts should last a hundred years.- A

tile or slate roof will last for many

years. Let us begin to add to our

farms an equipment that is adequate,

useful and that needs only a small cut-

lay each year to keep it,in repair.



Let us not look cheaply at the dairy

cow. Among the most worthy achieve-

ments of the breeder’s art she stands,

the admiration of every human being

who appreciates the combination of

beauty and utility. The archives of





breeding hold no more fascinating en-





tries than those which record the evo-

lution of the modern breeds ‘of dairy

cattle. The Channel islands have pro

duced the Guernsey and Jersey breeds,

famous for the richness of their milk.





. The dykethemmed Hollanders have





sent oyer to us-the large black and

white Holstein- Friesians‘, the greatest

mills; producers in the world. Scotland

has given us the flashy Ayrshires with





their adders of perfect conformation





and their rugged and strong constitu-





tion. Though developed under’widely

different environment and slightly «lit-‘-





forent ideals, these cattle possess a

CHEAP DITCHING IN NEWAYGO

COUNTY.





 





FEW days ago while attending to

some business matters near Grant.

Michigan, I was told of a man who





was doing some rather extraordinary}, ‘





good ditching. Having always ‘been

more or less interested in drainage, 1'

went out to the farm of Mr. Albert

Hyma.



Mr. Hyma. had a considerable area.

‘of fine muck land that was covered

with a foot or two of water. He in:

vestigated the various methods of

draining well known in this state and

became interested in the use of dyna-

mite for the work. In fact, it was

about the only method that promised

results due to the amount of water on





the soil. After getting some informa-’





tion in- regard to the use of the explo-i

sive which he had thought to be very

dangerous he found that it could be

handled with safety so secured a sup-

ply and began trying various loadings

until he had gotten the proper results.



The ,ditch is, to be three hundred

feet long and is only partly completed

due to the fact that Mr. Hyma had'not

gotten his last order of dynamite on

the ground.





The section that - was already shot





was from six to eight feet wide at the.





top and averaged about, four feet in





depth.‘ The ditch- being clean and. ,

straight; without the use of shovel er- ,





scrapers.





The propagated method was used.

that is, a line of holes~ were punched

to a depth of three and a half or four

feet and each loaded with one stick of





sixty per cent straight nitroqglycerln T

hole.

CREAM SEPAR‘ATORS

ARE BEST ,





There’sa reason for everything, and surely one

for the superiority of DE LAVAL Separators.





The DE LAVAL was the first continuous discharge centrifugal ‘

cream separator. Invented in 1878, it has led ever since. The

great DE LAVAL shops in both America and Europe. are de-

voted solely to the production of centifugal separating and

clarifying machines.



Large staffs of DE LAVAL experimental and developmental

engineers, in both America and Europe, constantly devote their

time, skill and knowledge to the further improvement of the

DE LAVAL Cream Separator.





Every single step of cream separator advance-

ment, for forty years, has . been DE LAVAL

conceived or developed.





011 the other hand, practically every feature of construction

ever used in any other cream separator has

been one that run—out DE LAVAL patents

left free. Such features have then always

been out of date in the later improved DL

LAVAL construction, and most of them were

never quite good enough to

have been actually used in DE

LAVAL construction at all.



It might aptly be said that DE

LAVAL has forgotten more about

cream separators than its lmlta-

tors and would-be competitors

ever knew.



And then itmust be remembered

that the cream separator, With its

necessarily high revolving speed;

great capacity, ease of operation,

simplicity and durability, is a very

difficult machine to build right,

and can only be built right with

long experience, highly skilled

emplo es and a vast amount oi

specie equipment. Hence there’s

nothing strange about the fact of
