Crops Adapted to Our Sandy Soils





Best Rem/ts 072 Lie/2t Soils Fol/0w #12 Use afProper C raps-"H . W. U/[Jperger





HERE are certain crops which are especially adapted

for sandy soils and which are never a complete failure,

that‘wis, there is always a fair return for the money and

labor invested. These crops are rye, soy beans, corn and po-

tatoes. They are not always the best crops to grow, but‘they

seem to be grown most extensively on the poorest soils. Po-

tatoes do not produce as well as the other thiee crops

Among other crops which are frequently grown are alfalfa,

mammoth, medium, alsike and sweet clover, sand vetch, navy

beans, cowpeas, buckwheat, oats, barley, wheat, small fruits,

and truck crops, millet, sorghum and rape. Each of these

crops will be disCussed in the order named above.

0f non-legume crops for sandy soils, rye is probably the

best. ‘ It grows as well on acid as on non-acid soil and is much

better adapted to sand than are wheat, oats and barley. It

withstands dry weather well. Spring rye cannot be recom-

mended as it does not make a very good growth. ,

Early fall seeding of rye is preferable to late seeding, for

it makes a better cover crop, it takes up more of the avail-





able plant food that might otherwise be lost, and it prevents

washing during the fall and early spring. In the Spring rye

may be used as a pasture, or it may be used as a. soiling

crop. Often it proves valuable as a green manuring crop to

plow under. Because othergrain crops do not grow as well

on sandy soils, rye is always relied on for the yearly supply

of straw for bedding purposes.



The soil sometimes is not prepared for the seeding of rye,

for it seems to be a catch crop and grows well in spite of the

haphazard method of seeding. Very often it is seeded at the

time of the last cultivation of corn or at the time of digging

potatoes, while in other cases the corn field is disced after

harvesting and the rye planted These methods give fairly

good results, but it is advisable to prepare the land the same





”as for other crops to secure a large yield. Discing or rolling





fall-sown rye in the spring has materially increased the yield

in several tests carried on at different places. The corrugated

roller or packer is very efiicient for spring cultivation. Rye

is good for a cover crop but it may (Continued on page 458).

Suggestion their differences in the





matter of contracts for

1920 to an impartial tribunal, the sug-

gestion that a petition be addressed to

the circuit Judges of the leading sugar

beet growing counties to act as such

tribunal is gladly passed along to the

contending parties. Public interest be-

ing so largely at stake the judges

would doubtless be willing to serve

and the factory managers could scarce-

ly afford to refuse to submit their case

to such a high-grade tribunal. The

world will need every pound of sugar

that can be grown in 1920. On the fig-

ures submitted the industry means

$12,500,000 to the farmers of Michi-

gan and $28,000,000 to the factories,

while sugar at fifteen cents and by-

products at wholesale costs the con-

sumer $36,000,000. It is therefore to

the interest of all concerned .that this

great Michigan industry grow and

prosper. Furthermore a settlement

should be reached at an early date so

that a normal acreage can be planted

and labor engaged. The tribunal sug-

gested would guarantee a fair hearing,

a fair determination, and its findings

would doubtless bring to a happy con-

clusion a. situation that is rapidly be-

coming acute.





OOD live stock is

Far , (rs savings bank in which

Savings the average farmer

Banks can deposit his sur-





plus earnings. Mon-

ey invested in good breeding stock is

comparatively safe and increases raps

idly. Many young farmers have ac-

cumulated sufficient good stock during

a term of five or ten years on rented

farms to enable them to make sub-

stantial payments on good farms of

their own. One can start with a few

good females and gradually build up a

profitable investment if he handles the

business wisely. The average farmer

cannot always deposit all of his sav-

ings in breeding stock, for he néeds

sufficient. current income to keep his

other farm operations going, but he

can so plan his farming that a 300d

business can be built ,up which will,

within a few years, enable him to cash

in and realize a larger sum than would

have been possible through following

a system of agriculture that failed to

provide for this means of saving.





   





1-1m: afherd of beef cattle assumes.

a result of de‘ciining markets: When





prices decline the breeder is not fare

ed to market his cattle at a loss; he

can hold his good animals to another

year at a profit. If - he meets with

some unavoidable loss from the sale

of some of . his, cull. stock.~ for beef he

has some chance to make it back on





the cows and young ”bulls which may.





be put in condition for public or pri-





. vate sales the next year. It really does





not ire a heavy deposit to pur-





W cha a f w choice females and a good





bull, and to gradually add to founda-

tion herd, provided no temporary fit of

discouragementis allowed to prompt

the withdrawal of capital. The first

cost of a few good females is soon re:

turned in the extra prices the surplus

young stock will bring. Then it is

merely a matter of hanging on to a few

of the best females and each year ad-

ding to the original investment.



In developing a herd of high—class

dairy cattle the average man has an

easier road to travel than is the case

with beef cattle. The sale of milk and

a few young animals will provide

adequate current income and enable

him to add more largely to the origi-

nal investment than would be possible

if he had only one string to his money-

making bow. Good producing cows

can be developed and added to the

herd from year to year at low c08t. In

a few years the original savings are

doubledi in the meantime the sale of

milk and surplus breeding stock has

returned more profit than any like in-

.vestment in scrubs.





The man who can manage to do a

large part of his farm work with brood

mares will find it an easy matter to

raise one or two good work teams for

sale during a period of five years on

a farm. Whether or not it will pay to

invest in purebred mares depends up-

on the care he is prepared to give

them and the amount of farm work

they have to perform. Likewise, hogs

and sheep afford good opportunities

for profitable deposits of surplus capi-

tal, although in many instances they

cannot be kept in sufficient numbers to

make the investment so permanent

and profitable as good cattle. How-

ever, the man who decides to deposit

his surplus earnings in live stock will

find it safer not to put all of his eggs

into one basket.





At present values the farmer who is

in a position to offer a herd of select

breeding hogs, a flock of purebred

sheep or a few young draft horses at

public auction or private sale will not

find it necessary to dispose of many

animals to bring in a "tidy sum of mon-

ey. Besides, good live stock is always

putting ..money back into the business;

that is what happens When the farmer





makes them his savings bank. He may '





withdraw some of his money from time

to time, but the accumulated surplus is

gradually converted into substantial

assets... Beef cattle are a safe invest-

ment, but furnish a less rapid turn-

over" than "other kinds of farm "stock.

Dairy cattle, sheep and hogs keep their

original :1 investment, cause it to grow

and expand, and at the same time fur-

nish a rapid turnover.





There is little danger of accumulat-

ing too large a surplus of capital in

live stock. If one has more grade ani-

mals than his farm will carry he can

invest a larger sum in animals of a

better class. The extra crops he grows

will take care of the extra capitaliza-

tion of plant'food, increase with its

growth and call for more. As the

crops improve more animals can be

fed and more manure returned to the

fields. Then the soil can be deepened

and improved until there is even great-

er gain per day, per month, per year

The improyed crops of forage and

grains means more milk, more meat.

HEN the coun-





. try was new and

Trans 1! or Michigan farms were

“.190” being carved from the

History wilderness, the trans-





portation problem

was a serious one. The products of

the farms had to be drawn on wagons

to the principal markets over almost

impassable roads. The agricultural

communities were poor and unable to

build better roads, so private capital

became interested in the problem and

under franchise arrangements built

improved wagon roads and were reim-

bursed by the payment of toll by all

who used them. This helped to solve

the pioneer transportation problem, to

the benefit and satisfaction of the ear-

ly settlers of Michigan farms.



Later the development of railroad

transportation opened up new possi‘

bilities, but the country was new and

private capital was timid, so the state

took the initiative in early railroad

development. Needed railroad, devel-,





opment was thus hastened, but at.





such cost that the state soon got out

of the transportation business. Mich-

igan history is similar to national his-

tory in this respect, except that in the

national development land subsidies

and favorable charters were largely

substituted for actual state develop-

ment, which favored the era of fren-

zied railroad finance and brought





-. about a marked reactidn in more strin-





gent state and government control.





The trend of public sentiment as re

gards these necessary transportation

facilities is interesting. While not

unanimous in the case of the railroads,

public sentiment is seemingly inhfavor

of private operation under ‘govern-

ment control. In the case of highways

the sentiment is unanimous for public

ownership. The reason is obvious.

What the people want is the best pue-

siblc service at the least possible cost.

They are more interested in service

than in vested rights. Experience

seems to show that this is best se-

cured by private operation under prop-

er control on the one hand, and public

construction and maintenance on the

other. The economy of the results ob«

tained will depend on the efficiency of

control on the one hand ~and,the econ-

omy of development on the’ other. Let

us be interested in both of theée im-

portant factors. -

HE barley crop is one of Mich-



igan s agricultural "war babieS”



which bids fair to attain full

stature among her permanent leading

spring-seeded grain crops. The yield

'of barley in 1918,. the largest on rec-

0rd,,is.e'stimated at 9,000,000 bushels,

.ten times as much as the yield of bar-

ley ‘in 1905, estimated at 904,000 bush—

els. The" past year, an‘ exceptional





one, was very unfavorable to barley,





production in Michigan, and a very

low yield of nineteen bushels per acre

was secured. The estimated acreage

' was 280,000 acres, 20,000 less than-in

1918, but double the acreage of 1917.





For a. periodof fifteen years an aver-'

age yield of 25.2 bushels has been sen





cured. but frequent yields of forty

bushels or more are reported by the

growers.



There are many who thought that

when the state and nation “went dry”

the barley acreage would suffer, but

as in the case of the grape crop, there

has been an unexpected but very mark-

ed increase in production. Michigan

farmers are just beginning to under-

stand the producing qualities of this

crop when rightly handled and its val-

no as a feed crop. The barley crop

needs more careful handling than oats

.to give best returns, but it has certain

advantages, particularly as a feed for

hogs, sheep and cattle, which makes

it well suited for more extended uSe in

Michigan.





Barley vs. Corn.





Corn will give a greater yield of

feed giain per acre where adapted

than will barley, but even unde1 the

best Michigan corn conditions, barley

is a very useful crop to grow in con-

nection with corn, since the barley is

ready —to harvest in late July or early

August and can be fed one or two

months before corn is ready.



Somewhere across the cent1al part

of Michigan’s lower peninsula an ir-

regular line can be, drawn, south of

which corn is a higher, yielding grain

crop than barley, but north of which

barley, ,under most conditions, Will

give larger and surer yields per acre

of fattening grain than will corn. In

the Thumb region, and throughout the

northern part of the lower peninsula,

and in the upper peninsula of Michie

gan, barley is .today an‘ important feed

grain 'and its more extended use in the

future will accompany the develop-

ment of live stock production in these

regions.





Barley Likes a Quick-growing Loam.





Barley gives best yields on well

drained fertile luams and silt loams.

Clay loams, if well drained, often give

heavy yields, but as a general rule,

barley will not give good returns on

cold late clays or poorly drained soils.

It is not well adapted to muck soils,

tending to lodge badly and to be at-

feCted by drought. Light sandy soils

‘ are not suited to barley production,

largely because they do not carry

moisture in sufficient amount through

the growing season, and are not usu-

ally sufficiently fertile to produce a

_ good crop. .





Germination Reported Low.





In tests made at the Michigan Agri-

'e of this year’s seed





cien‘tly heavy rate to offset low germi-

nation. * .

Plant Barley Early.



Barley ground should be fitted as

early as possible in the spring or in

the fall. Barley in Michigan usually

follows, corn, beets, beans, or pota-

toes.‘ Thorough discing ofxsuch land,

providing it- has been rightly handled

for previous crops, will put it in shape

for a good crop of barley. When land

needs to be plowed for barley it should

be plowed in the fall or as early in the

Spring as possible to a moderate depth

and if notthoroughly settled it should

be compacted by use of the roller.

The seed bed for barley should be firm

with the surface worked into good

filth.



The range of planting season in

Michigan is from early April to early

May. Under average conditions plant-

ings should be made by the middle of

April if possible, for best results. Dur-

ing the past year many fields were

not put out until well into May, which

is one of the reasons why barley made

such a poor crop. The usual rate of

seeding is two bushels per acre, or a.

peck or so more if planted late. Be

sure and test all seed for germination,

since tests show low germination in

many instances this season.



Acid Phosphate Gives Big Returns.



Acid phosphate or complete fertiliz-

ers high in phosphorus gives surpris-

ingly good results when used on bar-

ley. An application of-fromtwo hun-

dred to two hundred and fifty pounds

per acre gives a noticeable increase in

yield under average Michigan condi-

tions, and gives an earlier. maturing





and more uniformly maturing crop, as





'well as plumper grain of greater





weight per bushel.



Fertilizer may be applied through

fertilizer attachment on drill at time

of seeding or scattered bioadcast and

diagged in when fitting the seed fled.

Prevent Smut and Stripe by Treating



Seed.





The smut of barley is a well-known

cause of loss in Michigan fields. A

more recent disease, but apparently a

serious one, is the Stripe. This dis-

ease comes to us apparently with seed

imported from Wisconsin ‘where it has

caused great loss. Both of these dis-

eases are fungous diseases and are

controlled in a gieat measure by the

proper use of for.maldehyde





The following method is recommend-

ed by D1. G. H. Coons, of the Michigan

Agricultural College:





1. Use one pint of formaldehyde to

forty gallons of water.



2. Use two quarts of this solution

per bushel of grain.



3. Cover for two hours-



4. Dry and sow as soon as possible.



5. To disinfect the sacks, soak in

formaldehyde, two tablespoonfuls to a

pail of water. To disinfect the drill,

pour this solution thiough it.

an excellent crop with which to make

Pure Bred Live Stock Survey





HE'Live Stock Marketing Depart—

ment of the Illinois Agricultural

Association believes it is desirable at





. this time 'of relatively high prices for





purebred live stock to emphasize the

fact that the basic reason for purebred

live stock is the economic value 'of its

use by farmers in improving the grade

and thereby the market price of the

'surplus. meat, milk and werk stock of

the country.





Purebred live stock has unquestion-

ably justified itself from an economic

standpoint and will continue to do so;

otherwise, there is no logical basis up-

on which to appeal for its extension.

Intelligently developing this important

In this work the association will

breeders’ associations.

breeders are needed and have but sel-

dom received sufficient remuneiative

It is believed, however, that there

breeders to overlook the importance

of the soLcalled "local farmers' trade.”

Because Of this fact, the Live Stock

falfa, seedings made at the time of

planting barley have a somewhat bet-

ter chance to accomplish a good stand.

An excellent method of securing‘a

stand of alfalfa is to seed with a light

seeding of barley, of not more than

one bushel per acre. If the barley is

cut for hay purposes before ripening,

the alfalfa seeding has an even better

chance of success. ‘For this purpose

beardless types of barley are. often

employed.

Varieties of Barley.



.The most widely grown variety of

barley in Michigan is the common six-

row type. The Oderbrucker is one of

the best varieties and the Wisconsin

Pedigree is the highest yielding strain.

This last named variety has proven to

be the highest yielder of six-row types





-in variety tests made at the Michigan





Agricultural College. This is a beard-

ed type well adapted to Michigan.



The Michigan Agricultural College

has released, through the Michigan

Crop Improvement Association, the

Mich-Z—Row, a bearded type which

yields higher in the majority of tests

than the Wisconsin Pedigree.



The Michigan Black Barbless barley '



is a six-row black barley, carrying

beards which are devoid of barbs.

These beards are as- smooth as a

needle to the touch, and do not have

the irritating effect or ordinary beard—

ed types.

Several Michigan farmers have ex-

perimented with this black barbless

type and found it- to be a heavy yield-

er, easily handled without irritation in

the field, and an excellent barley to

feed to cattle, either direct from the

sheaf or after threshing. There are

no barbs to ulcerate the tongues of

the animals 01- to get into the wool

and cause skin ulcers with sheep.



In these days of scarce hired help

Black Barbiess barley is suggested as

an up-to-date convenience, contribut-

ing towards the comfort of the hired

man in that there are no barbs to irri-

tate his hide and cause him to think

unpleasant thoughts of the farmer, his

farm, and the world in general.



Black Barbiess bailey is an excel-

lent yielde1, being among the high p10«

ducels in variety tests du1ing the past

drought resister and in four tests in

various parts of the state and also at

the Upper Peninsula Expeiiment Sta-

tion, du1 mg the past d1y season, it out

yielded the Wisconsin Pedig1ee and

the Mich-2Row, although under aver—

age condition of previous years this

was not true. '



Greater interest is being shown in

this new bailey, but the Michigan

Clop Improvement Association offers

only three hundied bushels for sale,

and to seed companies a small amount.

The Michigan Black Baxbless barley is

from the hands of Plant Bieeder F. A.

Spiagg, of the Michigan Agircultural

College, and its position in Michigan

agriculture is not yet established. For

the fii st time it is being placed before

the bar of opinion of Michigan farmers

the situation. $12 a ton is a fair price

for beets when sugar sells at nine

cents a pound. with an increase of

331.40 a ton in the price of beets for

every cent increase in the price of

sugar. The prices for beets paid in

1919, which has been offered the grow-

ers for the 1920 crop, is $10 per ton

on a basis of nine—cent sugar, and $1.00

per ton additional for every cent in-

crease in the price of sugar. The lead-

ers have figured out what they believe

Will give their growers a fair deal and

offered to meet the sugar manufactur-

ers and appoint a fair-price committee,

but thus far they have received no

encouragement that the manufacturers

are willing to lay their cards on the

table and show the public the true

facts of the situation. The general

feeling among the beet growers pres-

ent at the meeting seemed to be that

they were fighting for principles rath-

. er than immediate profits, and that if

the sugar industry in Michigan is sav-

ed from ruin something must be done

to stabilize prices so that all depart-

ments of the industry may function

smoothly and every interest from the

grower to the consumer of sugar be

amply protected.



In addressing the meeting 0. E. Ack-

erman, manager of the Beet Growers’

Association said: “We are interested

in a great cause, one of the greatest

causes before the world today; the

organization of the farmer. There nev-

er has been a nation and there never

cantbe. a nation, that can. live long

without a profitable agriculture as its

basis. _,Ger_many made every effort to

mold up her' agriculture, but she ran-

are the general attitude of industry to

agriculture. You can not ignore any

one of the great industries of today.

The other fellow must be .given con-

sideratibn. The leading industries of

all kinds, except agriculture, are thor-

oughly organized for business. The

farmer must be organized to meet

those other industries so that he can

counsel with them and help Work out

his plans. The nation demands that

farmers organize and put across bet

ter business methods. It is our duty

to put across more progressive busi-

ness ideas. .



.“We have been called agitators,

bolsheviks and reds, but I am' sure

that time will prove that we are the

ones to build up and hold up. I be-

lieve that we farmers, the sons and

grandsons of the early settlers, will

see that this’ great country is not put

down. The time is at hand when peo-

ple must pay more for necessities and

less for luxuries, and then the old boat

will right itself. Unless this takes

place every last man will leave the

farm. We have always been in the

habit of charging prices for our prod-

ucts without considering the great fac-

tors of production, such as interest,

fertilizer, seed, labor and other items

included in the cost of production. We

have been working on the wrong basis,

but when we once get going on the

right basis there will be no people

talking about the people starving to

death, but we have got to put these

things across before we can accom«

plish much toward making agriculture

a safe business, capable of providing

enough food for our people. I want to

put the beet growers of the state on

a safe business basis and have your

locals in places where you go to do

your business, and I want you all to

stick by your locals and to make them

strong units in our state and national

organizations.



C. G. Patterson, of Salt Lake City,

President of the Inter-Mountain Beet

Growers’ Association, made up of beet

growers of Utah and neighboring

states, discussed some of the problems

confronting western beet growers and

congratulated Michigan beet growers

upon their organization. “We, the Utah

beet growers,” said Mr. Patterson, “are

just a little bit ahead of your Michigan

growers in tonnage. We have also

been having our troubles the same as

you. We have accomplished a great

many things, and we have got a great

many more things to do. I want to

carry the messes. e back to our growers

that you are working in the same

team and pulling the same way as

they are.



“In 1917 we got in touch with the

growers in neighboring states and sent

a delegation to Washington to confer

with Mr. Hoover.

taken showed that the prices we were

being offered for beets did not aflord

any profit, and we presented our case

to Mr. Hoover, requesting such a price

as would pay us cost charges. While

at Washington I have taken pains to

find out how the sugar manufacturers

have been conducting their business,

and if they had any strong organiza-

tion. We had some reason for suspect-

ing. that they did and we discovered

they had a very eflicient one. ‘ Their

offices are in charge of a secretary

who has been there a long time and





.he is very efficient and has a highly





trained office ferce. I visited the ‘sec-

rotary, Mr. Palmer, and we discussed

the problems out in Utah. After going

through a general discussion: in which

to manufacturers of sugar and they

know all about what is going on. One

firm'could not do all these things alone

so they organized and put the best

men they could hire in charge to study

conditions and gather data. ’ They lev-

ied an assessment to support his work

and when he needed more meney they

levied another assessment. The men

who are manufacturing sugar. are do-

ing it for dividends; that is what they

are operating for, not to keep the con-

sumer’s sugar bowl full.‘ This ques-

tion of making sugar is a question that

affects two‘ parties, and I want to tell

you that the farmer is the most im-

portant one, and if he don't get a

square deal he will build plants of his

own and manufacture sugar.





“The sugar manufacturers do not

depend upon Mr. Palmer alone, and if

conditions demand, they can get twen-

ty of the best lawyers in the country

and send them down to help him. Can

you blame them? They are playing

the game according to accepted rules.

They know the sugar game, and they

should know it. I believe that they

must do those things in order to be-

come an asset. to the industry. If you

want to become an asset to the sugar

industry you can create an association

that will do as much for you as the

manufacturers are doing for them-

selves. You are up against big game,

and I want to tell you that you can’t

kill big game with a twenty-two-caliber

rifle. We have got to get busy and get

information the same way as the sugar

manufacturers do, for we can’t expect

them to furnish it for us. It takes

money to get these technical and leg-

islative facts, and we have got to raise

money to have this data so that we

can formulate plans. They have data

on how to handle farmers' contracts

and they are wise, but I think you are

getting wise. I hope that you will con-

tinue to get wise until we begin to get

results.



“There are two parties to this busi-

ness and you have never met the oth-

er party because you are not organized

so that he has had to come out to

meet you. We are today contending

that we want a square deal and the

profits divided in proportion to the

capital invested, risks assumed, and

so forth. All that we are asking is a

minimum as a. beginning to that end.

Then as we understand these things

better the whole business can be or-

ganized so that we can get together

on prices so that all may share in the

profits of the industry.”



John C. Ketcham gave one of his

characteristic addresses in which be

thanked the various agencies of the





 





state for their support which had made

it possible for beet growers to secure

a raise in prices from less than $8. 00

per ton to present prices. Mr. Ketcham

quoted figures, which were published

in the March 6 issue of this paper, to

prove that the beet growers were just

in their demands for higher prices He

said: “Unless city people come to

realize the true agricultural situation

they will wake up some day and find

themselves hungry. The plain facts

are enough to frighten any man who

has an interest in the‘ welfare of the

state and nation. The city people must

view the real agricultural situation in

the proper light if the industry is to

be’maintained. Our efforts mean more

than a dollar or two a ton for beets.

It means the putting across of a prin-

ciple that will sustain agriculture. We

are ready and willing to put our cards

on the table and only ask that we be

given a fair hearing. Our figures and

data indicate that the sugar manufac-

turers could pay us more if they would.

Attorney-General Palmer told me to

go back to our growers and tell them

to rest easy and that there would be

a thorough investigation of the sugar

question.



Forrest Lord, editor of a farm and

market weekly, discussed the neces-

sity of a permanent organization to

put the growing of sugar beets on a.

stabilized basis, and as a means of

avoiding annual troubles over price ar-

rangements. Mr. Lord expressed the

opinion that there should be a more

fair division of profits in order to in-

sure the future of beet sugar produc-

tion in Michigan, and that now was

the time for growers to stand by their

leaders in the demand for such a di-

vision of profits.





A. M. Berridge, representing the

Michigan State Farm Bureau, made a.

special appeal to the men present to

stick to their farms, and to make the

Michigan Beet Growers’ Association

in a strong and permanent organiza-

tion. Mr. Berridgesaid: "Farming is

in rather a dangerous position at the

present time, and the food producers

are up against controlled markets and

controlled costs of production. The

young farmer of today is up against a

big problem. He finds rent high, cap-

ital difficult to secure, and labor hard

to find. It is hard for him to make a.

start on the farm.



“The State Farm Bdreau needs you

as a permanent organization to join

with them. > Our organizations here in

Michigan must have different organiza-

tions to represent these interests, so

that each representative can speak for

the particular interest he is interested

in. If you stick by your organization

you will be better prepared to present

your problems to us and we shall be

better prepared to help you solve

them.”
F the. price of potatoes continues

high throughout the remaining 001‘-

ing tithe. It is neually the case when

potatoes are high in price that the de-

r





mand for seed is unusually strong as ,





'the area planted is, as a rule, above

the average under the stimulating ef-

fect ,of high prices. Many potato grow-

ers and would-be growers will be anx-

ious to make the seed potatoes go as

far as possible. When large potatoes

are used the disposition will be to. cut

to small, pieces and there will be a

tendency to use very small potatoes

for seed. It is realized that with many

the methods which they will follow

will be in aCcordance with need of

economy rather than doing the‘thing

which they know is the most desir-

able under ordinary circumstances.



- In spite of Itheehandicap of need of

economy, there are certain things

which everyigrower should keep in

mind. In the first place, seed which

is cut to small size may result in a

very poor stand. This may be due

either to wet or to dry hot weather. It

is not an unCOmmon thing when finely

cut seed is need for the stand to be

less than Seventy-five per cent or a

full stand. A person may be able to

. save from two to five bushels of seed

per acre by cutting the seed fine. On

the other hand, a poor stand may re-

sult in a reduction of from twenty-live

to fifty bushels of potatoes per acre.

The effort at economy which promises

if it does not actually invite such a re-

duction in yield, is an expensive kind

'of would-be ecOnomy'. The seed piece

should be of large enough size that.

the plant which develops from, it will

be of sufficient vigor that it will make.

conditions.





The use of very small seed, that is,

seed which is much smaller than a





hen’ s egg, may result in a considerble’

increase in the percentage of diseased





.and low-producing bills. If it is a

known fact that the small seed has

been taken from— healthy productive

hills, the danger of getting poor devel-

, upment from rather small seed is cun-

siderably leS‘Sened. Seed which is as

large as a lien-’s egg or double that

size, if kept in good condition until

planting time and taken frtim healthy

account of itself. The thing which

stands in the way of making a general'

recommendation for the use of whole,

small seed is the fact that so many

growers will. not be able to get seed

_. from a satisfactory source if they use

seed of that character.‘



. Treating the Seed.



It is becoming a much more general

practice among the. potato growers of

Michigan to treat the seed. potatoes

before planting. . This-practice is fol-





should give a good:

lowed to guard against two or three

potato diseases. namely, scab, black

scurf or rhizoctonia, and blackleg. The

treating or the seed will not prevent

infection from the soil but it Will

greatly reduce the danger of infection

of the soil from the seed. The cor-

rosive sublimate treatment is more

commonly used than the formaldehyde

treatment at the present time. This

is due, to the fact that the corrosive

sublimate has more effect in controll-

ing black scurf. Seed treatment will

be made more effective if all badly

diseased potatoes are discarded than

if an attempt is made to use such po-

tatoes after they are treated. Full and

specific directions can be secured by

writing the Michigan Agricultural .Col-

lege or getting in touch with your re-

spective county agent.

Green Sprouting of Seed.



Another piactice which is becoming

quite commOn and is giving general

satisfaction is the greening or green-

sprouting of seed befo1e planting. This

is accomplished by removing the pota-

toes from the cellar, pit, or storage,

whatever the kind may be, three or

four weeks before planting time. If

the seed is to be treated it should be

treated before it is green sprouted.

After treating. the potatoes should be

either spread out on the barn floor, in

a hay mow, on a scaffold, or any sim-





ilar place where the light and air can-





reach the potatoes freely. They should

not be left more than th1ee or four

inches deep if sufficient space can be

provided to permit of spreading them

out so thinly. If it is necessary to

pile them a little deeper they should

be shoveled over every few days so

that the light will recah all of the pota-

toes for an equal portion of the time.

Growers who have potato crates on

hand Can oftentimes place the pota~

toes in the crates, filling them about

one- -fourth full, then stack the crates

so that there is considerable space be-





 





tween each. In this way the light and

air can reach the tubers from one side

Or another. Potatoes so handled will

shrivel to some extent, especially in

warm weather, but will usually devel-

op short, heavy green sprouts. In three

or four weeks time they will seldom

get more than onehalf inch in length.

These sprouts do notvbreak off readily

when run through the planter. Pota-

toes so treated will come up quickly

and evenly. Potatoes which do not

properly develop Sprouts can be dis-

carded and thus a better stand secur-

ed than would usually be secured by

planting potatoes which are not green

sprouted.



Preparing Seed Bed and Fertilizing.



Early plowing is one of the most im-

portant Operations connected with the

growing of potatoes. By turning the

sod or turf ovei eaily in the season

and keeping the suiface hallowed at

frequent intervals until planting time

the soil moisture will be retained to a

large extent ’and a Complete contact

of the furrow slice with the soil be»

heath will be made before the pota-

toes are planted. If manure is applied

it is a very good plan, especially on a

clover sod, to disk it in before plow-

ing. One large grower in New York

state disks in the manure and a cer—

tain amount of commercial fertilizer

before the plowing is done. He claims

that by getting a portion of the plant

food as low down as on the under side

of the furrow it induces deep rooting

of the plants and so enables them to

withstand drought better than would

be the case'if_the rooting was more

shallow. He also uses some commer-

cial fertilizer in the furrow at plant—

ing time. This is to give the plants

a good start. The Michigan potato

growers will do well to. begin at once

the careful study of the use of com~

mercial fertilizers in connection With

come when it will be found necessary

most profitable for him to use under

mind that the potato crop does best in

a. deep mellow seed bed. Thorough.

and deep disking or harrowing should

be done before potatoes are planted.



Inconnection with all of the opera-

tions mentioned in this article the cost

of production should be kept in mind.

It is not sufficient to know the cost 01'

production per acre. We should know

the cost per unit of bushel or hundred .

pounds. Information of this sort is

very necessary. Every grower who

keeps such a.record should report the

same either to the county agent or to

this office—C. W. WAID, Extension

Specialist of M. A. C.





Growing Big Yields of Potateos.





Potatoes above all other farm crops,

should receive an abundance of ma-

nure and fe1tilizeis. Since this crop

usually yields heavily to the acre, it

requires an unusual amount of fertil~

ity elements to produce a good crop.





.The most suCcessful growers generally

which do not have plenty of fertilizer.

tion of potatoes, wheat and clover. ’

Some idea of the necessity and val-

ue of manure in potato production is

brought out at the Ohio Experiment

Station wheie eight tons of yard ma-

nure per acre to potatoes has brought

out a yield of one hundred and eighty-

eight bushels for the first twelve years

of the twenty-four years of experi-

mental work, but in the second period

the yield has dropped to one hundred

and fifty-nine bushels. In the same

experiment the manure was applied to

the wheat instead of the potatoes, with

the result that the average production

dropped from one hundred and seven-V

ty-five to one hundred and twenty-nine

bushels within the two periods.

When sixteen tons of manure, how-

ever, were applied all to the wheat in

the rotation, the yield has dropped

from one hundred and ninety- two to'

one hundred and seventy- -five bushels

in the second twelve -year period. Thus ‘

Alex. Minty of the Michigan Aberdeen.

Angus Breeders’ Association to head

the Woodcote Herd, at Ionia. One of

them was reserve champion at Perth,

early in February, and the other stood

high in his class and ls a half-brother

of the great breeding bull, Edgar of

Shaded counties are those in which

wheat is one of the three leadin

crops. ~





- HAT are the leading crops of

. Michigan in the order of their

importance? his question is

often asked but is not as easy to-an—

swer as may be supposed. Michigan’s

soil is extremely variable in character

and its climate has‘ such a wide range

that it has a greater diversity of crops

' than any other northern state.

acreage of each crop may shift from

year to year, unusual climatic condi-.

tions may affect the production, price

levels may rise or fall, and the balé

ance naturally existing between the

various crops be thereby easily dis-

turbed or upset. Therefore, the lead-

ing crops this year may not be the

' leading ones next year, and those of

either year may not agree with the av

erage for a given‘ period of years.





Taking as a basis the records of the.





Bureau of Crop Estimates for the past

fifteen years, it Will be found that the

average value of the cultivated or

tame. hay crop of Michigan is $44,514,-

000. Corn is second in line with a val-

uation of $41,540,000, and oats is third



‘ with a valuation of $21,760,000. TheSe

are rather closely follovved by wheat

with a value of $19,429,000; potatoes,

with a value of $18.334,000; and beans

with a value of $17,184,000. However,

the record on beans extends back only

six years and, as the values during re-

cent years are much higher than the

fifteen-year average, the figures on

this crop are not really comparable

with the others.



In 1919 the order of importance is

quite different. A good corn crop and

light hay crop reverses the natural or-

der. corn leading with a value of $88;

803.000 and followed by hay with a

value of $74,412,000. Wheat is third

with a value of $42,497,000; potatoes

fourth with a value of $38,729,000. and

pad to fifth place, the value being :26,-

181,000; rye occupies sixth place; with

a. value of $17,280,000; and beans are

seventh in importance with a value of

$16,926,000.



While these state figures can be de-

termined with a considerable degree of

accuracy, it is far more diflicult to as-

certain the areas within the state

where each.crop predominates. County

estimates have only been attempted in

of the'northern counties has increased

the ' acre'age‘s of the principal crops,

such as hay, potatoes and oats, while

the development of the Rosenvariety

has made the growing of that; crop so

much more profitable that the acreage

in 1919 almostequalled that of wheat

in the state, and gave Michigan second

‘place in the United'Slates in rye pro~

TheSe and other changes

make the selection of the leading crops

in each county a rather difficult one.

There being no county figures for a

periodof years available, the average

cannot be determined and used as a

basis as was done in determining the

leading state crops. The cooperative

arrangement between the ' Michigan

Department- "of 'State and the United

States. Bureau of Crop Estimates,

known as the Michigan Co'operative

Crop Reporting Service, has made‘pos?

sible county quantitative estimates for

some of the principal crops. Such coun-

ty estimates were 'made fer 1919' and?

in order :to meet this need as far as

in the order of their importance. From

this chart it may be noted that hay is

Delco-Light users, everywhere~‘over 100,000 of them——

think and say this about Delco—Light. Nearly every testi-

monial letter contains such a sentence. It is proof of the

satisfactory service Delco—Light gives. It is an indication of

the place taken by Delco—Light in the hearts of those who

have installed it.





The clear rays of electric lights make the house, the barn

or the barnyard bright as day, at the touch of a button.

The electric current pumps and carries the water just where

you want it, and performs a score of other jobs swiftly

and silently while you do something else.





The experience of Deleo-Light users and their combined

opinion is the best proof we have to offer, of two things—

that Delco;Light is mechanically correct-~and that it is a

paying investment.

be torn up by windstorms because it

lacks the large root system of the leg-

umes. An early fall seeding makes a.





better cover cr0p than a late seeding.





Soy Beans on Sand.



The soy bean, though a southern inr-

age crop, ismore resistant. to frost

than corn, COVVDOaS or beans. Varie-

ties have been developed ,which will

grow in any region where corn will

mature. The varieties adapted are:

Early Black, Ito San and Medium Ear-

ly Green.



The preparation of the seed bed

should be about the same as for corn.

The seed may either be broadcasted

or drilled in rows from eighteen inches

to three feet apart.



The amount of seed required, when

planted for seed production, will vary

”from one-third to one-half bushel to

the acre. When planted in drills for

hay from one-halt" to two-thirds of a

bushel should be used, the rows being

placed eighteen to twenty—four inches

apart. if planted in solid drills, one

bushel or more will be needed.



Seedings should be made when there

is no more danger of frost, because a





setback due to cold weather is not. eas-_





ily overcome. The crop requires a

growing period of at, least two months

to be proiitable for forage or green

manure, but if raised for seed it should

be put in not later than the end of

May. The seed should be coveredwith

at least an inch of soil and in a very

dry season it is best to seed still

deeper.



()n soil where soy beans have not

been grown it is necessary to inocu-

late ii' the largest and most profitable

crop is to be harvested. Especially is

this true on sandy soil. Inoculation

makes it possible for the soy beans to

take the nitrogen of the air and place

it in the soil. \Vhile adding nitrogen

to the soil, the plant is growing more

luxuriantly and making a. more profit-

able crop. A pure culture or soil from

a field where soy beans have been

grown may be used to inoculate the

seed.



lf grown for forage, the crop should

be cut when the pods are starting to

form and should be cured like alfalfa

hay. 11 requires a little more time,

however, because the stems are coars-

er. ()r soy beans may be grown be-

tween rows of corn and plowed under

for green ninnuring purposes or har-

vested with the corn and placed in the

silo, increasing the feeding value of

the silage. In the central and south-

ern parts of Michigan soy beams can

be planted after harvesting a crop of

rye and can be plowed under in the

fall as a green 111anuring crop to en-

rich the soil in humus and nitrogen.



To secure the most satisfactory

growth of soy beans, lime should be

added to the soil. No other crop ex-

cept (lover or alfalfa is adapted to

such a variety of uses, and the soy

bean has the added advantage of sale

as a cash crop without, removing as

much food as some other crops from

the soil. It can be grown for seed;

it is often used for silage with corn in

the proportion cf one load of soy beans

to three or four of corn ;.'it makes ex-

cellent hay for all stock; the seed is

ground for a concentrated feed similar

to oil or cottonseed meal; the price of

the seed when sold is high enough to

net a fairly large income. Further—

more. it is very well adapted to most

of the poor sandy soils and will grow





. well without special treatment.





Every farmer who cultivates poor

sandy soil should plant from one-

fourth to one-third of his whole farm

to soy beans. About one-third of the

total acreage planted may be harvest-

ed for seed. A portion, as much as the





‘ farmer can afford, may be plowed un-





der for green manuring purpOSes and

planted to rye, to prepare the field for

”wing "mammoth clover the follow-





 





 





sod land should be fall plowed, 'other

land in spring, and disced thoi'oughly

in the spring. A very much better

corn yield will be obtained if a mulch

is maintained on the surface of the

ground by dragging the corn field at

intervals often days to him weeks

from early spring until corn planting

time. This aids in conserving mois~

ture and helps in producing a better





ing year, and the remainder may be

used for hay or silage.



Farmers frequently object to pur-

chasing sufficient soy bean seed to

plant so large an acreage, but a man

can easily afford to sell the rye or po-

tato seed which he has on hand and

buy soy beans for it takes only twenty

pounds of soy beans to an acre when

they are planted in rows tw0 feet

apart.



Soy Bean-Rye Rotation.



A rotation of rye and soy beans has

proven very successful on the Han-

cock Experimental Farm and every

man who farms _1ight soils should

grow them. Belti‘w area few of the

reasons why these crops should prove

helpful.



1. Both are cash crops; by growing

them a net return of $20 to $40 per

acre will be received every year



2. Soy beans build up the soil, thus

pioducing a laige1 crop of 1ye. Yields

of rye have been increaSed from five

to fifteen bushels per acre at the ex-

perimental farm. Many farmers have

had similar experiences. ‘



3. Both crops grow well on light

soils. There will be no crop failures.



4. Soy beans will yield from five to

twenty bushels of seed per acre, sell-

ing at $4.00 to $6.00 per bushel.



5. Soy beans also make excellent

hay and silage if you do not care to

harvest the seed.



6. Both crops are easy to grow. No

special tools or knowledge are neces-

sary to grow them successfully. ‘



7. Rye can be grown before the last

cultivation of soy beans or after soy

beans are harvested.

practice followed by live stock farm-

ers is to grow a sufficient acreage of

corn and soy beans to fill two silos,

o'neto be used for summer! and the





bther for winter feeding. ‘ This meted





is being followed successfully by up-

to- date dairymen. "

Potatoes.



Potatoes are most. commonly grown



on rather sandy soils because of the





better quality resulting and the fact





that they are clean when harvested.

However, potato growing involves a

considerable expense for seed and 1a-

bor and unless the soil is sufficiently

fertile and has enough water-holding

capacity to pioduce .a fair crop, there

is little p1ofit in raising potatoes. Soils

which aie classified as medium to

coarse sands are usually too low in

water-holding capacity and in fertility

to» justify the growing of crops which

involve so much expense for labor and

other items as do potatoes. Fine sands

and'sandy loams when kept in a good

state of fertility \will produce an ex-

cellent crop of potatoes. , ‘

tilizer attachment to a potato planter,

a good crop of potatoes can be grown

on all sandy soils. Thorough compact-

ing and cultivation of the sell. is al-

ways necessary. .



Alfalfa.



Alfalfa on the poorer sandy soils

cannot be recommended very highly

for it. does not seem to produce as

much hay or benefit the soil as much

as mammoth clover. On the better and

more fertile sandy soils it makes an

eiicellent growth and produces a fairly

large amount of hay of high feeding

value. Larger applications of lime are

needed for alfalfa than for clover.



Tests with‘Grimm alfalfa during the

last two years have indicated ,that“ it

is best adapted to the poorer soils. it

is more hardy, withstands our severe

winters better, and makes a muCh

more rapid growth in spring and after

each cutting than, the common alfalfa.

tThe principal objection to planting

Grimm alfalfa has been the high price

of the seed.



The preparation of the soil and the

manner and time of seeding are essen-

tially the same as for clover except

that the field should be inoculated with

soil from an old alfalfa or sweet clo-

ver field. About twenty pounds. of seed

should be used to the acre and the

first year the crop should be treated

the same as clover. The next year it

may be cut for forage two or three

times.



If the soil is veiy low in fertility it

is well to apply manuie and about. tw0





The 005‘ 0f the hundred and fifty pounds of acid phos-

fertilizer was $8. 00 pet acre; the value





phate to an acre, in the fall of the sec-





oond year to help the next yeai ’s stand,





which may not, feel the effect of the

first year’s application of manure. The

third year it should be cropped the

same as the second, only that the last

crop should be plowed under, thus

leaving the field in good fertile and

physical condition for such cultivated

crops as corn and potatoes. The ma-

nure'for the cultivated crop may be

applied during the winter or spring.

Alsike Clover.



Alsike clover is longer-lived than

either the medium red or medium vari-

eties and is frequently left from three

to five years on quite fertile soil. ‘ Its

root system forms very close to the sur-

face, and the plant is thus. well adap-

ted to damp soils. Sand and light

sandy loam which dry. out severely at

the surface have no great supply of

fertility in the surface layer, and are

not at all suitable for this plant. Al—

though it has the advantage of being

less sensitive to acid conditions, it can-

not be recommended as a suitable crop

for sandy soils.



Sweet Clover.



While sweet clover has made good

growth on some sandy soils in the

state, it cannot be recommended high-

ly at present. If cut for hay it does

not benefit the soil so much, nor grow

so well as mammoth clover, and it is

not relished as .a feed as much as al-

falfa: Once started on the field, sweet

clovér grows more rapidly than alfalfa,

but the difficulty is in securing a good

stand. Its habit of growth on road

sides and coal piles leads to the belief

that it will grow readily under field

conditions, but wherever sweet clover

grows on roadsides there is consider-

able available plant food and limestone

and the mills well p,acked~—two con-

ditions which seem essential to the

growth of this plant and which cannot

be duplicated very easily under field

Soils which are cropped

and cultivated do not have the much

needed fertility to grow sWeet clover

successfully, and experiments show

that it is more difficult to grow than

The “Glenbrook” is now one of the

fastest selling cars on the American

market and," the demand is increasing

with each succeeding day. Already

our production schedule has been sore-

ly taxed and orders for spring delivery

will undoubtedly result in a oversold

condition. ' ,,





Accept our advice, therefore, and in-

spect this model at your earliest op-

portunity. Compare it with any five

and determine whether it is not, in-

deed, the greatest dollar-for-dollar

value in the light six field.

to the difficulty in getting it establish-

Aside from scattering plants which

have appeared on our place from time

to time, our first experience with sweet





clover was the past season, with a ‘





seeding secured with buckwheat. The

catch and growth of plants was only

fair, being far too thin in places for

best results. Then, too, the winter of

1918 and 1919 was unusually hard on

clover plants here in northern Michi-

gan as well as in more southern lati-

tudes. There was little snow for pro-

tection and frost action left the crowns

of our sweet clover plants above the

surface, in places as much as seven to

that I might as well let the crop have

a chance to make good, the more so,

perhaps, as I was pretty fully occupied

with garden and other spring crops.

Well, the plants branched out well and

made a good shoWing for the chance

they had; but when it came time to

cut for hay, I was too busy to make it,

In their conference with the senate

committee having the packer legisla-

tion in charge the federation officials

spoke ot_ the rank discriminatiOn

shown against farmers cooperative

marketing associations at the stock

yards in leading markets. Acting on

this suggestion, the committee decided

to insert a clause in the bill, to pre-

vent this unjust discrimination. The

federation is going to back this prop-

osition with all its influence.



The Farm Bureau Federation is

strongly opposed to strikes, having dc-

clared in favor of the creation of arbi-

tration boards or courts, with power

to adjust controversies between labor

and capital as shall safeguard the

rights of the parties directly interest-

stitutes for virgin wool in fabrics and

apparel purporting to contain wool,

shall be made known, and is therefore

in sympathy with the objects- of the

French “Truth in Fabric" bill now

pending in congress. It has also

adopted a resolution supporting the

measure now pending in congress look-

ing toward the government operation

of nitrate plant N0. 2 at Muscle Shoals

for production of ammonium nitrate.





The proposition that the government

operate the Muscle Shoals air nitrate

fixiation plant, not only as a military

preparedness measure, but as a means

of supplying our American farmers

with cheap nitrates for the growing of

crops, is gaining ground in and out of

congress. Thoughtful persons who

are conversant with the subject are

coming to the conclusion that there is

little common sense in maintaining a

foreign nitrate monopoly at an enor-

mous expense to our people, when the

government has in its possession a

well equipped plant for the manufac-

ture of atmospheric nitrogen, sufficient

in capacity to supply the farmers of

several- large agricultural states with

much needed fertilizer, and free them

from the exactions of a foreign trust

whose governing board is located in

London, England. ’





'1‘. _C. Atkeson, Washington represen-

tative of the grange, has issued an ap-

peal to the city women to refrain from

boycotts against agricultural products.

“Production declines, in almost every

industry, are most acute. in agricul-

ture,” he tells them. “A boycott against

any farm product, while it may tem-

porarily depress prices to consumers,

forces that depression immediately

back to the producer and causes an





‘ even greater decline in farm produc-





tion of that product. The result Of this

reaction is a still further decrease in

supply and a' corresponding increase

in the selling price.





. “Resist all price advances :at ,this





time. ’The chief cause in increasing





prices now is a demand- for cominodi-

ties larger than, ’thesupply, the supply

of rti‘m '

"gram until its organization is perfect-





 





J, mm,”





3.11 the treble-will bears, A sure way of

defeating this is to remse to pay in-

creased prices. When demand falls to

a level with supply the title will turn

and theretwill be automatic stabiliza-

tion in prices—mot until.





“The women of the farms can be-

come members of the gmnge, and in

its activities find opportunity to actu-

ally carry into effect the fraternity

and cooperation necessary to improve





conditions of country life, and to make '





possible economies in buying which

will of themselves reduce the cost of

farm essentials. The grange, the fil’St

great American organization to admit

women on equal standing with men in

every particular, is today the most





potent force for the education and im- '





provement of the condition of farm

women.”





The Department of Justice is com«,





ing in for a share of congressional

criticism; Notwithstanding the fact

that congress has appropriated $1,000,-

000 for the purpose of enabling the

department to curb the activities of

the profitcers, the“ charge has been

made on the floor of the house that it

has not brought a single prosecution

for profiteering, and there has been

much discussion as to why the sugar

planners of Louisiana were permitted

to charge seventeen to eighteen Cents

a pound for their sugar. The public is

showing considerable interest in the

proceedings of the committee investi-

gating these charges. Attorney-Gem

eral Palmer denies, however, the im-

plications made in the senate debate

on the Reed ‘United States Grain Cor-

poration investigation resolution, that

he had “pigeouholed’ the Spokane

grand jury report on the grain corpor-

ation dealings in the northwest.—E.

CLEARING LAND.





We are contemplating the breaking





up of a section of second-growth tim—

ber land in the northeastern part of

this state some time in March or A11:

ril, and would like to inquire what. ii!-

the most practical way for‘ clearing

brush and timber of this nature. The

trees consist of poplar brush, none be

ing over five inches in diameter. Have

you ever heard of caterpillar tractors

being used for breaking down brush

trees of this size?\





There are perhaps other methods for

clearing brush and timber from sec-

ond-growth timber land, but the most

practical and efficient method to fol-

low is to cut the trees which are suit-

able for firewood, trimming off the

limbs and tops as each tree is cut

down. The bare poles should the-1 be

piled in such manner so that they can

easily be loaded on a sleigh or wagon,

then to be drawn to some central place

where they are assembled to be later

cut into stove wood lengths by a buzz

saw outfit.





It is also good practice to carefully

pile the brush into heaps where they

can more easily be burned. In like





manner leaving a good portion of the





area cleared which then can be pas—

tured for a year or two until stumps

and brush have become somewhat de-

cayed, also by which they are put into

better conditioh for burning. After

burning the brush heaps and after the

area has been pastured for a year or

two a good percentage of the stumps

can then be quite easily removed while

plowing the land for the first time.

Other stumps can be pulled by a team

of horses, tractor or a stump—pulling

machine.





It is not at all practical nor can one

get satisfactory results by using a cat-

erpillar tractor for breaking down the

brush and trees of small size. ‘More

than that, it is not practical to out

brush and trees, allowing them to fall

promiscuously, for the reason it is a





,difllcnlt matter to getpaatistactory _ re-

Silltfiin. ._

tor are already affecting prices on the

New York city market. Argentina is

producing nearly three times the

amount: of butter and- cheese cogum-





 





ed,'and Some of the surplus may be ex- '





,»pected to come to this country or coma

" pete with our products in foreign

. countries. Before the war Siberia was

i " rapidly extending its dairy industry,

. and’ when conditions become settled in

that country it may be expected to

come back as a factor in the world’s

market. Recently there have been

signs of interest in dairying in South

Africa, and the industry as developed

in New Zealand and Australia must



be reckoned 'with.





“ ' _, If the dairy products manufactured

\ ? in the United States are of a better

quality than those (from other coun-

tries they need not fear competition.”

Canada’s cheese industry illustrates

this.’ A strict system of government

supervision in the training of cheese

i makers, 'in the operating of the fac-

and exporting of the product, exists

there. lThis has tended toward an im-

provement in the quality of Canadian

cheese until it ranks with the finest

.- " ‘ i on the English markets.



The dairy industry in Argentina has

grown rapidly since the beginning of

the war. Before the war butter ex-

ports from that country totaled 3,262

tons a year; in 1918' they were five

times that. Cheese exports were far

On the clay roads of the Mississippi Basin —

In the loose sandy soil of the California orchards and along





Florida’s sandy forest roads -- ._

On the steep and rocky slopes of the mountains of Pennsylvania,\Vcst

Virginia, Colorado, and Tennessee, where the up—hill hauling is 'severest—

In Montana, the Dakotas, and Minnesota, where the snows are deepest——

In plowed fields, on country roads and mountain trails —- wherever

rpad and weather conditions make hauling most difficult——





You Will See International Motor Trucks





The toughest hauling problems are being sol‘vad with International Motor

Trucks. They are conquering the difficult jobs. They are proving beyond all

question that Internationals are built to do the work and keep going. They are

making good where others fail. -

AT a meeting of tomato growers at

' Westfleld, New York, recently, it

was decided to- [demand not less than





one. ‘Several canners’ representatives

were present but they "retired when

the growers'went into executive ses:

81011. James E. Hall presided and Fred

1Johnson acted as secretary. Among





farmers were not making any money;

that in tomato as in grape growing

“they were just loading their farm on-

to the wagon and hauling it away."

'That the terms. are deteriorating rap?





and less’each year. that in producing

crops the farmer has not taken this

into account and the buyers have pos-

itively ignored the point. He said that

the growers must have cooperation

among the producers and that if pro-

duction is-to continue the farmer must

have a fair profit on his labor and in-

vestment. M1. Johnson said that'the

grape growers have not made any mon-

‘ey for years and, as evidence of the

truth of the statement, he asked the

grower to take a survey of the vine-

yards in the belt and settle the ques-

tion for himself. He said the same

conditions exist in tomato growing. He

advised everyone to keep a cost ac-

count of his faim activities and then

the far-moi will be convinced that he

is not making day wages.



Mr. Hall stated that the'price of-

fered by the local canners was below

the cost to Heintz & 00., who paid $20

per ton and then paid $6.30 per ton

freight to Pittsburgh. The tomatoes

are mostly delivered to the local fac-

tories and those delivered by train cost

about $1.50 per ton. He said that on

a basis of two thousand acres at. Silver

Creek, the gross receipts were, for

four years, $104 per acre, that after

deducting labor, plants and fertilizer,

the grower made $26 per acre and that

there is more money in raising hay

than tomatoes at the present price.





SPRAYING THE HOME ORCHARD»:





 





I have about seventy-five trees, up:

ple, pear and plum. How many times

should they be sprayed, and what kind

of spray should I use? How many

gallons of lime-sulphur will it take to

spray the trees once? The diameter

of trees above the ground is about five

or six inches. E. A. N.



If the San Jose, scurry or oyster

she'll scale is presenton the trees,

spray shortly before the buds open

with strong lime-sulphur. The concen-

trated solution can be made at home

but when spraying a small orchard it

is usually best to purchase the com-





 





and dirty work. Test the salution

with a Baume hydrometer so it can be

diluted to the right strength to kill

the scale.



As recommended in Special Bulletin

No. 93 of the Michigan Expeiiment

Station. the proper dilutions are as

spraying is ne'eessary to prevent scab,

bud-moth and canker worm. Bordeaux

or‘dilute lime-sulphur is usge‘d. To each

fifty gallons, of the mixture add about

two and a half pounds of arsenate of

lead paste to kill chewing insects.

Right after the blossoms fall and be-

for the closing of the calyx is the

time to fight the codling~moth worm.

Use the same as the previousapplicar





tion and do a thorough job so thei





worms will find no spot to enter with

out getting a meal of arsenate of lead.





_Two weeks later it has been found





profitable to make another similar ap-

plication. Another application of the

same can be made early in August to





' .catch the second generation of the odd-





(ling-moth



The.San Jose scale on pears is con-

trolled the same as on apple trees.

The pear blister-mite will be destroyed

(at the same time. When the blossoms

show pinkit is time to fight codling-

moth, budLmoth and scab. Dilute lime-

sulphur is recommended to which has

been added, about two and a half

pounds of arsenate of lead paste. The

lime-sulphur is not used so strong as

for apples and if the Baume test is

thirty-three, thirty-two or thirty-one

the Michigan Agricultural. College ad-

vises one gallon'of the mixture plus

enough water to make fifty gallons -of

.the spray dope. If the test is thirty,

twenty-nines or twenty-eight use five

quarts and dilute to fifty gallons. When

the test is twenty-seven,itwenty-six or

twenty-five use‘six quarts and enough

water to make fifty gallons.



When the blossoms have fallen and

before the closing of. the calyx the

above application should be repeated.

"i‘he Pear Psylia is an insect which

can be controlled by spraying with

“Black Leaf Forty" on a warm bright

fall day. Use one pint to one hunch-ed

gallons of water. It spreads easier if

three pounds ‘of dissolved soap are

added.



If plums do show signs of the San

Jose or European fruit scale, use the

strong lime-sulphur the same as for

.apples or pears. Just before the op-

ening of the buds apply dilute lime-

sulphur or Bordeaux mixture. Add

two and a 'halfmto rthree pounds of

' arsenate of lead paste to the solution.

This helps to destroy the curculio,

black knot, brown rot “and leaf spot.

When the blossoms fall use the abOVe

mixture for the same troubles. On the

Japanese varieties of plums use self-



. boiled lime-sulphur. And add two

pounds of the arsenate of lead paste.

About ten days or two weeks later, the

previous application should be re-

peated.



It is difficult to accurately estimate

the exact amount of spraying solution

needed for one application on seventy-

five trees as they vary So much in

area. However, the spray rod should

be passed rapidly over the surface of

the tree, covering every portion with-

out leaving the tree drenched and drip-

_ping. The cost of the material is not

large compared with the value of the

work. It will pay to buy a barrel of





concentrated lime-sulphur solution for '





use during the season. fl Then mix up

the amount a barrel sprayer will hold

and see how far it will go on the’trees’

without wasting it, but doing thorough

work. This will serve as a gauge for‘

the amount needed for~ each applicas

rAbundant power means complete ignition. of any grade- ofl

when the piston is at the top of the power stroke.





The New Hart Parr gets. its abundant power for three

plows from the intense, hot Spark delivered by a K-llfl

This magneto is designed specially for tractor service—-

to produce a sure spark at low speeds—to" stand the severe

conditions of farm work—to give reliable service without

expert attention.





The longer a firm has built tractors the more ccflain you

are to find them using K-W' Magnetos.





When you’re looking for power in a tractor see that the

rapidly and furnishes a large yield per

is the equal of mammoth clover, but

Vetch' on Sandy Solis.

There are two distinct varieties of





. vetch, the spring vetch or tare, and

' v” the sand,- Winter or hairyfgvetch. Both





varieties are annuals. The spring

vetch when used for forage is gener-

ally seeded- With eats because it has a

trailing habit and needs some sup-

port. When seeded for green manur-

ing purposes it should be drilled about

two inches deep early in spring at the

rate of thirty pounds to the acre. The

preparation of the seed bed should be

about the same as for clover. It is

very important that the seed should

be covered and the soil compacted

with a rolle1..





Sand, winter or hairy vetch is seed-

ed in late summer or very early fall,

earlier than either. fall rye or wheat is

seeded. -Il’ seeded late it will winter-

klll severely. If used for green manur-

ing it maybe. planted between rowsor

corn at the last cultivation. It may be

seeded with rye in the fall and serve

as a cover c1‘0pover winter, and at the

same time help to build up the nitro-

gen supply in the soil. '



Neither spring nor fall vetch will be

successful on acid soils without the

use of lime. Fall vetch shouldprefer-

ably he used in the rotation with rye

duction' of clove1 hay. To seems" the

’ Buckwheat.





Buckwheat has been grown exten-

sively on the new sandy lands, but it





». is usually dropped from the‘rotation





after the land has been cropped for a

time. It requires considerable organic

such as is found in new soil or





on marsh lands. It also has a short





growing season and, will. withstand ' dry





weather or drought quite readily. At

its best, however, buckwheat is a poor

crop to grow on sandy soils for it is

very susceptible to frosts in the early

fall and to blight during the blossom-

The yield is

usually small and barely pays for the





cost of planting and harvesting.





Buckwheat is frequently recommend-

ed as algree'n‘ manuri‘ng. crop, but ex-





thus it causes severe» damage to the

succeeding crops. Plowing under the

coa1se buckwheat straw results in a

loose open soil which dlies out read-

ily. Packing helps to 1emedy the t1 ou-

his, but in spite of thorough packing

of the‘ soil injurious effects may still

be seen on corn followingthe buck-

wheat. »

Oats on Sandy Soil.

light soils. It will stand considerable

acidity and has a large root system

FARM LEASE.





 





I rented a farm January 1,1919,for

two years, the lessor reserving the





right to sell and “in case of sale said ‘





second pa1ty_- is to redeliver possession





of the p1emises,p10vided he shall be





paid for the mops then seeded or

growing thereon, or he paid for any

plowing or work done for a crop and

not seeded at the time, otherwise he

shall be allowed properly to cultivate,

harvest and remove any crops so seed-

ed bef01e sale, provided they shall be

removed in a reasonable time in the

then season ” A sale has been made

and possession demanded. ‘What

rights have I? Subscnber.

Our interpretation of this provision

would be that the buyer of the farm

is entitled to possession and if he can

agree with the tenant as to the value

of the growing crops or work done for

a mop not seeded, ‘the tenant's inter‘

est in the p1 emises would be at an end

receiving that amount. If they

.NCLE DANIEL DIBBLE, a pion-



’ eer member of the Ceresco Farm-



ers’ Club, responded to a toast

during the after-dinner talks at the

Post Tavern, when the club members

were guests of the Merchants’ Dinner

Club. _ .



“I have lived on alarm for many

years amid all sorts of crude and in

convenient surroundings, until some

of the modern improvements came into

use more or'less in‘our farm neighbor—

hood. One after another we farmers

have adopted iinpi‘oved machinery and

kept fewer hired men'until now we

have more machinery than help.



“I can remember way back nearly

three—quarters of a‘century ago when

we used to have poor roads and drive

ox teams hitched to clumsy wagons.

In a lumber wagon box we used to

load up a half—dozen or more of the

family and neighbors and drive many

miles to some country church.”



And Uncle Daniel told the city and

country banqueters some stories about

old times and the social doings of his

boyhood and youth. He expressed

himself as enthusiastic over the pro‘

ject of combining the country and the

city in a community club that had for

its object the welfare of the entire

farm territory around Battle Creek.





 





By J. 11.713510):





Sheep.” Uncle, Daniel Dibble’s tenor

chimes out, "We All Like Sheep;”‘and

then Farmer Nye, the basso profundo

in the center, back row, roars out,

“We All Like Sheep.’ / "



Just then a young farmer, who had

to quit sheep raising because of the

ravages of dogs in his flock, sitting

and listening to the anthem, nudges

his wife and says. ”There must be

something in mutton, after all.”



In front of the choir stands an old

melodeon that is nearly .a. century

along the way and still able to dis-

pense more or less melody. The oper-

ator is the grand—daughter of the orig-





»inal owner and she was more than





pleased to have her treasured relic

taken in this scene. The only bad

break in this, picture is the distant

view of our touring car in the back-

ground. Here’s hoping the engraver

cuts it out.



For 'a longtime we have fully be

lieved that the day would come when

in many sections the city and country

spoken ' from both sides lead them

along paths of pleasantness and peace.

By getting together and communing

with one another in a genuine desire~

to be friends and mutually helpful to-

ward one another in the days, weeks

and years to come they can form a.

community club that will ultimately

mean all the term implies. .



Personally we know of many farm

Sections in Michigan which have vil-

lages and small cities wherein a com-

munity spirit might be tried out if the

conditions for organization are favor-

able. In the first place there must be

a central body or group in which pre-

vails a spirit or community vision.

This group will be recognized in time,

if the spirit and zeal prevails against

all obstacles. And this group will nat-

urally assume the local executive and

administrative duties. That has pre-

vailed in and around Battle Creek and.

was thoroughly demonstrated before

any definite move toward the organi-

zation of a community club was at-

tempted.



Personally we found that there was

a group, a spirit and a zeal in our com-

munity, both in and around this city,

but the fact it was a city of forty thou-

sand inhabimms naturally deterred

some 01' us from making a start for a

Spell. President Kenyon L. Butter-

field, of Massachusetts grlcultural

College, wahted to know all about

what we were doing, and we conferred

with him at. M. A. t‘. during Farmers’

Week. lie said he never had heard of

the community plan being tried out in

such a large city before. as the city

business men in large numbers would

not join in the endeavor and the right

spirit and zeal would be lacking.



It takes time to work out all the de-

tails in organizing and developing an

ideal and practical community club in

and- around a village or city; and it is

especially true with such a large pity

as Battle Creek. The community idea

in a practical way includes many fea-

tures similar to a great fraternity with

its local lodge or temple. It must ulti-

mately provide a place or community

house where the country members

when they drive into the city may

have a meeting place, rest-room with

toilets for both sexes, a lunch room,

capacious auditorium for meetings,

i'armers’ ,club, grange and other organ-

ization programs, lectures, concerts,

dances, a billiard table, bowling alley,

etc., etc. p ~



In this. community club house the

city members and the country mem—

bers would meet once a month or 0ft-

ener. In our constitution we provided

that such meetings be held on the

third Tuesday in each month, to gath-

er at eleven o’clock for a big dinner.

This will be provided by the various

members just as is done at regular

farmers’ club and grange meetings in

halls and farm homes throughout

Michigan.



At present we have all the member-

ship of the five farm organizations in

the four townships around Battle

Creek organized into the “Battle Creek

Community Club.” Other farm organ-

izations farther away are already ap-

plying for membership and at least

three more clubs will be taken in later.

The Firestone cord is part of the program because

it gives you most miles per dol.ar. It: is the tire

that led the industry with the new standard over—

Iize last year. It has made good as “the best buy”

in tires, because of its unequaled performance records.





The new standard oversize means more rubber and

Firestone cord tires are made by workers financially

product, grown by blacks in the

milk meal for the cold north. But it

is a fact—cottonseed meal is the great-

men of this country have. Without it,

the problem of balancing milk—produc-

ing rations would be a problem.



And to think of it—this byproduct

man and beast.

men and women of all races, creeds

and colors and the cottonseed oil and

man and beast. Not even the squeal

is left in this case.



The oil is used widely as a substi—

shortenings, soaps, salad dressing, and

even imitation butter. The oil cake

It takes about fifteen hundred to two

thousand pounds of seed cotton to pro-

duce a. bale of cotton-weighing five

hundred pounds. The thousand or fif-

teen hundred pounds left over is cot-

ton seed.



The seed cotton, as hauled to the

gin, is sucked out of the wagon

through long finger-like affairs while

the seed is virtually sawed from the

lint. The lint continues through the

suction pipe to the compress and after





{being pressed into a bale is delivered





to the wagon. The seed is dropped to

a trough below the gin and carried to

a large suction pipe which conveys it

to the seed storehouse.



The ginner usually charges about

seven dollars to gin a bale. He also

buys the seed which brings around

thirty to thirty-five dollars. So the

grower leaves the gin with his bale of

cotton and about twenty~seven dollars

besides.



The ginner sells the seed to the oil

mill. Sometimes the grower takes his

seed and. sells to the millwif he does

he gets about two dollars per ton more

than from the gin. But, human be-

ings are nearly all alike—they all love

to _be lazy-so selling to the gin is the

easiest way out of it.



At the mill the seed goes through an

interesting process.

a cleaning drum which takes out a lot

This is called linter cotton and is

market“ for cotton of this quality—"the

peace time use being limited-to cheap

mattresses and hats. '



Before the seed strikes the gin sum.

it is put through another cleaning '-

process which eliminates stones and

sticks. Just before the saws are rem.

ed, the seed passes over magnets

which eliminate nails and other pieces-

oi‘ metal. All this is necessary to pro-

tect the saws and incidentally assures

a, cleanlproduct in oil and, meal. ,



Next the seed is carried to the hull-

er and then the seed, minus the hull,

is put into a large boiler where it is

softened by cooking. It is then put

into canvas forms, two feet long, one

foot wide, and three inches thick. and

taken to the press, which holds a. dozg.

en of these forms. Here it is subject-

ed to a pressure of four thousand

pounds per square inch to press out

The resulting oil cake is now only



one inch thick and almost brick hard.

It is put through a breaker which

breaks it into pieces about an inch

this size are passed on to the grinder

tle to go after as they wish. It is an

excellent fattening food.



The meal, of course: has to be sold



by guaranteed analysis. It is usually

put up in thirty-eight, forty—one, forty-

three and forty—five per cent protein

meals. The amount of bulls added to

the meal detennines the amount of

protein it contains. lThe hulls are just

fillers and the more filler the less

protein.

V Conscientious oil mill men say that

it is cheaper to buy the high percent-

age meals as the cost is not much

more, and there is less hulls to pay

freight on. This is truly a case where

the buying of high quality means

economy.



There is no oil meal combination as

astrous year of 1914, when the south!

was on a starvation basis, the demands:

for cotton quickly increased and prices

went up. The growers get from $27

to $30 per thousand pounds for the

seed. Wages alsa took a big jump—.—~

Seeking New

By E. I.





HINESE WILSON is back from

C the Far East. That is an‘ an-



nouncement which will bring the

inquiry from flower lovers every-

where, “What has he brought that is

new?” _



Mr. Wilson is the foremost plant

scout in the world today. He is con-

nected with the famous Arnold Arbor-

etum, in Boston, and hasvintroduced

thousands of new plants, some 0t

which he has obtained at no little risk

to life and limb. A conspicuous exam-

ple is the wonderful flower from the

borderlands of Thibet. which is some-

times called the incandescent lily, al-

though it now figures in the catalogs

as the Res. 31 lily. When Mr. Wilson,

traveling in W'estern China, over

ground which had never been trodden

by the foot of white man, caught his

first glimpse of the fields where this

lily grew, he determined on the spot

that these same flowers should bloom





Then there came alandslide ‘which

swept him down the mountain and

broke one of, his legs. He lay for

weeks in a. native hut, but eventually

he-went back and got the bulbs, with

the result that acres of them are now

growing'on Cape Cod, and blooming

even bettefi. than in their native land.

The trip from which Mr. Wilson has

now returned lasted two years and

over, and included many months spent

in Korea. and Formosa, as well as a.

trip to] the little known Bonin Islands.

As .a. result of the expedition seeds of

more than two hundred plants, nearly

all of which are new to cultivation,

and yet well adapted to northei'n gar-

dens, have been brought back.

While plant scouting in Korea. was

interesting, the most exciting part of

the trip came in Formosa, which is

inhabited largely by savage tribes, ‘in—

cluding head hunters. Traveling in

Formosa proved laborious as well as

adventurous, for the island is mostly

up hill and down dale. "‘I had no

sooner reached the t0p of one eleva-

tion,” said Mr. Wilson, in speaking of

the trip, “than I found I had to drop

down into a. valley just beyond, and

this was the story day after day. ’1

specimens of a. famous tree known as

Taiwania in FOImosa, but he was as

sured by the Japanese that they-were

very few, and that it would be impos-

sible to obtain any seed. Mr. Wilson

found that the Japanese were'wrong,

however. The trees were found on the





sides of Mount Ari, which is Seven f





thousand five hundred feet high, and

so much seed was obtained that it has

been distributed by the Arnold Arbor-I

etum to almost every country in the

world where the trees will be likely

to grow. No other tree in all the world

except the big trees of CéIlifornia and

Australia, are so tall or so old. Speci-

mens towering two hundred and fifty

feet into the air were found, and the

Japanese say that they have counted

two thousand seven hundred annual

rings On one tree. If these redwoods

have been shved to the world, ‘and

their propagation made possible, that

alone will. be enough to justify the

whole expedition.



The plant hunter traversed the fa.-

mous cliffs, which rise eight thousand

feet above the sea. Along the top is

a trail made by the Japanese police,

and no other white man has ever peas-

ed over it. Because of his high repu-

tation and his Connection with the 'Ar-

nold Arboretum, Mr. Wilson was shown





every courtesy by the Japanese, and.





given privileges seldom extended to

travelers from the Occident. His party

in Formosa included at one time sev-

eral former head hunters, and much

was learned about these savage tribes,

the members of which take their great-

est delight in adding an extra head to

the collection Of gruesome trophies in,

the tribal hut. According to Mr..Wil-

son, the head hunters go through cer-

tain remarkable ceremonies when a.

new head is obtained, including show-





ing it a. curious, barbarians hospital; _





ity. For one thing, they pour. a. drink

of wine between its lips, and consider





that they are conferring a. great hon-

or upon it. p y >



Some of the savages were coaxed to

accompany Mr. Wilsbn in the ascent

of Mount Morrison by being allowed

to carry rifles, which was such an al-

luring prospect that they could not re:

sist it.“ . in spite of the difficulties they

tains a greater number of different



1 trees and shrubs than any other insti<

tution'of its kind. Some of the plants



, introduced through this agency have



become well known the country over,



. and scores of others will gradually



come into general cultivation. Fl‘he

Japanese barberry is one of the most

useful plants introduced, for it is un-

rivaled as a low hedge plant, and

thrives in almost all parts of the coun-

try. Moreover, it is not subject, to the

wheat rust which l1as"111ade the com-





growing sections. The famous eieepg

wild rose in a. German nursery in 1887.

The Arboretum brought it to this coun-

try and gave it to the gardeners of

America. Its blood is to be found in,

that of some of the finest of climbing

l'OSGS.

. J The only variety of rubber tree that

' y will thrive outside of the tropics is

l now growing nicely on a hill in the

Arboretum. Mr. Wilson brought it

L from the glades of Thibet years ago.

! Long, after the common lilacs have

- ceased to bloom there still ‘are flowers

in the Arboretum, produced on plants

from China.‘ For that matter, there

are Chinese lilacs which begin to flow

, or while the common kinds are still in

' the bud. The climbing Hydrangea is

. ’ another foreign plant which the Arbor-

‘l etum introduced and which has proved

itself an extraordinary fine vine for

j ' growing on brick or stone walls, with

‘ great heads of true hydrangea flowers.



In the Arboretum grounds are seven

. hundred species

‘ which have been discovered in differ-

l out parts of the United States. This

’ . is an amazing fact when one learns



, that only a few years ago the number

1 ‘ ' of American Hawthorne which had

been found and named did not exceed

sixteen.



So it is that the Arnold Arboretum,

is gathering from all parts of the

world the new things that ought to be

in American gardens. They are care-

fully tested and when they come into

bloom create a sort of shrub 200 which

isworth going far to see. And this

Feeding and Carin





 





fOr Cattle





By McGuirg LeDue, dgeJ/‘oztrtem





A WELL-FED, contentedJooking an-

imal is not often the result of ac«

cident. It is because the animal has

been given good care.



If a. stockman is successful, it is be-

cause he likes his cattle and will al—

ways see that they get fed correctly,

and gives them all the cOmfort that

he can.



A good herdsman Will never stop

with one hour’s work with his cattle,

if he knows that he should give them

more. Shorthorn cattle are cattle that

are easily contented, light feeders, and

they are, generally, plump, clean and

contented-looking cattle.



Many persons do not know what a

good animal is, even though they take

care of cattle half of their lives. I



Do not hurry on, and take care of

cattle as they should be taken care of,

and you will see that you will have a

good looking herd.



A good stockman, as you will notice,

will always watch his cattle for dis-

eases, and if he sees an animal that is

not looking right, will take care of it

to see what is the matter, while oth-

ers let it go until it is too late.



Take, for example, Louis Harmon’s

cattle. About twice a week helooks

over his herd and if he notices any

that is not looking right, he will see

to it that it is given all the care that

is necessary, and as anyone will no-

tice. He now has a fine herd of Short-

horns.



More animals are injured by “over-

feeding than by underfee'ding Cattle

should be given only enough food to

keep them in good flesh



When animals are led out of doors

or in pens, it is best to have them di-

vided into small groups, or to have in-

dividual places for feeding each ani-

mal, the "feed should be- distributed





that each animal has an opportunity ‘





to get its share, otherwise the strong—

est cattle will get overfed, while the

weaker ones do not get their share.





S OMETIMES young people who live



on the farm get the idea that they

are criticized and looked down upon

by boys and girls Who live in the city.

They think they are made the object

of unfavorable remark; that their ac-

tions are laughed at; that behind their

backs things are said in derision of

their countrvaays. This sense of un-

kind criticism hurts and prevents our

boys and girls from the farm from ap-

peaxing as well as they might other-

wise.



But let’s stOp a moment and think

of it this way: It may be this is not

just fair to the great body of young

folks from the city. At heart I believe

country boys and girls are quite like

those of the city. There may be ex-

ceptions to this rule, but surely, it is

only the thoughtless and the unkind

who ridicule the people from the farm.

Many city boys and girls I know love

the country and all that belOngs to it.

They would be glad it they could live

on the farm themselves, and really

they envy those who do.



But-supposing it were all true. What

if we take it for granted that there is.





The same general principles hold in

watering cattle. Everything possiible

should be given to cattle, so that they

can get all the water they want.



In feeding calves, cleanliness is of

the greatest importance, especially if

you are feeding them milk, or Similar

food that will seen sour. Not only

should the food be sweet and pure,,but

the utensils should bei‘k‘ept as'clean

as possible.





Most people feed their young ani-I'

mals too much at a time and not often"





enough, much better results can be

obtained by feeding more frequently,

and not so much at One time.



Underl'eeding is a result of insuffi-

cient food, and as a result of under-

feeding, your cattle fall away in flesh,

and the hair takes on a lusterless ap-

pearance. A similar appearance may

also be produced by disease.



In bringing animals back into con-

dition, care must be taken not to over





feed. It is best to increasethe rations





gradually, so that they get used to the





change. _



I-n fitting cattle for the show, feed

them a. pretty-good ration of grain.

Also keep theskln clean and free‘from

lice. This may be accomplished-by

washing the cattle quite often. The

wlashing also makes their hair look

nice and smooth.



Teach your cattle to lead well and

to stand in a good position, whileIthey

are young, so that it will have the

best possible appearance when it is in

the show ring.



Feed your herd bull liberally, and

give him plenty of exercise, and this

can be done by turning him out with

the cows. Do not try to fit too many

cattle for the show. It is a great deal

better to fit a few cattle for the show,

and have them looking good, than it is

to try and fit too many and have them

all scrawny, dirty and wild looking.

INDIANA CLUB MEMBERS TO

MEET AT PURDUE.





, HE second annual Indiana Boys’

and Girls’ Club round-up will be

held at Purdue University, May 3-7.,

and plans already are under way for

the affair which is expected to attract

at least one thousand youngsters who

have been engaged in some sort of

club work the past year.



Most of the instructional work will

come in the form of actual demonstra-

tions or contests and the lectures dur-

ing the week will be few and far be-

tween. There “will be corn, egg, live

stock and dairy cattle Judging contests

for the boys and Sewing and bread

judging contests for the girls. Trips

to the International Live Stock Show

and to other agricultural events will

he the prizes for which they compete.

Teams will demonstrate methods to be

used inselection and testing of seed

corn: canning by the cold-pack meth-

od‘; fitting animals for the show ring,

etc. I'I‘eams representing Clinton and

Madison county will debate the ques-

tion of the horse and the tractor on

the farm. Before any team can com-

pets in the state contest it will first

have had to earn this right by winning

county honors, and during the next

few months these elimination contests

will be held throughout thé state.



There will be plenty of side attrac-

tions for the youngsters. The uniVer-

sity military department will give the

ydung Americans a few pointers in the

army game, and the athletic depart-

ment ‘qu provide games in the gym-

nasium and on Stuart Field, hikes to

historic spots "about Lafayette, etc.

Then, an egg barbecue Twill be held

one evening, this feature coming at

the close of the annual egg show

which will be held in connection with

the club round-up.





 





THIS GIRL MADE MORE THAN PIN

MONEY.





A sixteen—year-old girl made $600

on the tomatoes in her garden last

season. This is her second year of

work in a garden. club. This club girl





attributes her marked success to fol~ .





lowing out to the letter the instruc-

tions which weregiven her by her club

leader. An early hot bed and an ex-

cellent early market undoubtedly were

the secrets of her large returns. She

had tomatoes on the market long be-

fore anyone else. For the first eight





hundred pounds that she marketed she





received fifteen cents a pound.

The Boon of Curiosity





By George Peak, B. S.E. -





 





 





HE author «of this article,



who holds the degree of

Bachelor of Science in Educar

tion, is recognized as an author—

ity on child training, having con-

tributed to the leading women’s

magazines of the country. We

asked Mr. Peaks for the accom-

panying article, which deserves

very careful reading by parents

and teachers. '





 





 





 





 





 





 





ATURE has filled the child with

Neuriosity for a purpose. It is



just as essential to the growing

mind as is hunger to the sturdiness of

the body. Parents who would not think

of refusing food to the hungry young-

sters often thoughtlessly deny to the

developing intellect the very element

upon which it thrives.



The young mind demands its right

to grow into a knowledge and training

that will make life worth while. This

ever~present demand is in the form of

curiosity; and becauSe of its persist-





ence, parents, burdened with other





cares, are many times harassed into

denying it. I



It is the parents, whose child lacks

this natural tendency, who should wor-

ry. If their child possesses not that

eager, queStioning voice trembling for-

ever on the brink of some great un-

known mystery, as thrilling to him as

are some of the big unsolved questions

that perplex and lure us grown-ups;

if this be true, then these parents

have cause for real alarm. A child

without curiosity is mentally sick;

and should he grow up without gain-

ing this gift to pry, he is doomed to a

life of inferiority.



Happily, most children are supplied

with an abundance of this quality.

Scarcely two months of their life has

passed before this trait is reflected in

the gleam of intelligence that posses-

es the baby eye. From then on till

maturity it assumes a multitude of

shifting, tantalizing forms that have

hidden beneath a system which, puzz-

ling as it may seem, will if encouraged,

work marvelous results when the child

reaches adulthood.



Nor need parents have a knowledge

of the by-ways of child psychology in

order,to bestow the greatest benefits

on. their children. They have only to

follow the course that nature has viv-

idly market out. Whatever the child’s

curiosity leads let the parent follow;





 

 

 

 

   

   

   

   

   

 

 





and if that curiosity be running in,





Wholesome channels, supply the craved

True, this requires an expenditure

paid,_ knowing that they are rapidly

because of sound training and correct

information. ‘ p ’



Nature has not intended that a. child

shall always exercise curiosity solely

for the knowledge of the moment. No

matter how trivial and useless the in-

formation sought may seem, the par-

ent has but to remember that the

youngster is keeping bright for future

only instrument that will open an av-

enue to his brain. It is through this

trait alone that he learns, and this is

the only means by which he will ever

learn; consequently the effort he puts

forth is worth far more in training for

later life than is the small amount of

knowledge he might gain.

behind them the driving power cf men-

able to restrain them. '





This probing trait is found in the

youngster at every turn. (The child

that begs to help at grown-up work,

even for a moment, is longing to sat.

isfy that subtle power. They have a

curiosity to know how it goes to peel

potatoes, pick cherries, or cook a cake.





' It is work of nature storing up for





them rich experiences.

The child that has the fortitude to





 





peer into silent recesses, explore a

cave, or climb the highest tree is so

urged by nature that he might devel-

op a courage to do the big things of

later life.



Because of the varying succession

of Outlets that curiosity employs, par-

ents are apt to slight this important

trait and think it but a passing whim.

It is natural that the activity of yes-

terday should be discarded for the one

of today; for the small mind has ab

sorbed all that is new and moves on

to some fresh object. In time, how.

ever, after it has grown by further

experience, it will return to the old

and will then comprehend features it

could not grasp before.





 





Are You Ready to Vote?





OW many farm women register-



ed this spring for the spring pri-



maries? I wondered, when I

read that in the city of Grand Rapids

men outnumbered women two to one,

if women having been given the re-

sponsibility of helping in the affairs

of government are going to Shirk? Are

we going to settle down with that old,

comfortable, pre—war feeling that the

men always have done it and we can

trust them to run things now? Or are

we going to wake up to the fact that

the old is forever done away with,

that a new order exists, and that a

terrific struggle between law and law-

lessness, between American govern-

inent and no government, is ahead of

us, and the vote of every true Ameri—

can is needed?



Perhaps one of the chief reasons

why so many good citizens, both men

and women, fail to get out to the polls

on election day is that they can’t see

where their individual vote helps them

one way or the other. There’s a lot





of preliminary campaigning, and





speechunaking,’ and the various can .

dates pronfise' us that if they win we'll

see the millenium at once. Then some-

one gets elected, and to the average

mindit doesn’t make a bit of differ-

ence which side gets in. Things go on

about. as‘ before. Under such condi-

tions it may seem excusable for wom-

en whohaven't time to read much and

get at the bottom of things to say it





' doesn’t matter whether they vote or





no.



But as a matter of fact it does mat-

ter a great deal, now more than ever.

We were rather startled not long ago

when Colonel Vandercook said that

“hell would break out in the northern

peninsula of Michigan from one end

to the other within sixty days were

the constabulary removed." When he

followed it up and told of "red” liter-

ature distributed broadcast through

the state advocating the overthrow of

all government, the killing of all in

authority, the destruction of churches

and of private property even to fences,

we wondered if he weren’t- talking

about Russia. . °



That these things could be preached

right in peaceful Michigan was beyond

our comprehension. Yet the campaign

is going on right in our midst. The

advocates of anarchy are organized

and work as a unit. They are desper-

ately in earnest. They know what

they want, and they are doing their

best to bring America to the condition

of Russia. \



Against them is a disorganized ag-

gregation of Americans who for the





~most part are content to drift along





and trust to the other fellow to see

that things go right. One of the m0st

maddening things about good people

is their habit of taking it for granted





» that things are coming out all right.





Things never "come" right .unless





’ ‘ I. someone makes them and in the strug-

glib ahead in Amerida it is going to





got to work—and vote. And in order

to vote intelligently we’ve got to read

and study and think for ourselves. We

can’t just take the word of the spell-

binders.



It is the duty of every woman in

Michigan to prepare herself to take

part in the work of reconstruction

which is ahead of us. The vote, pow-

erful as it is, is only one means she

possesses of helping to preserve Amer-

ican institutions. Her greatest service

to her country lies in her own home,

in the influence which she can bring

to bear on the minds of her children.

What we need is a generation of men

and women who believe it is better to

serve than to be served, who regard

character as of higher value than mon-

ey. Mothers can give young minds

these ideals as easily as they can hold

up the lure of material prosperity. It

was men and women of this caliber

who made America, and it will be such

men and women who will save it.



But America is not to be saved with-





set a fight,‘and the fight will be large-

.- ly political.





Women must do their

part, no matter how repugnant any-

thing savoring of publicity is to them.

We cannot sit at home and say with

Browning, .



“God’s in His Heaven, all’s well with





the world."

We hope Gods in His Heaven, but





we can’t help but see things are far

from being well with the world. And

“it is our duty as well as a great priv~

ilege, to do our part to set "the world

right. DEBORAIL

HE last few years have 'marked a



period of. 'changing .forces, of

rapid innovations,» and of “readjust-

ment. Every institution has been

touched and quickene‘d.~ The element

of conservatism is disappearing, and

in nearly everything we are in a. fev-

erish haste to make changes.



Of all our institutiohs but two have

resisted the current of change to any

extent, the first being the church, and

the second that peculiar American in-

stitution, the rural one-room school.

This article being in no way a, relig-

ious discussion We will pass over the

first, although in passing we can not

help but express the Opinion that it is

high time the church arouse herself

and study the changing conditions.

Denominationalism has no place in the

rural world of today. It is out of place

in a. big world whose. motto is service

and cooperation, and unless we can

throw all of our religious forces into

a melting pot from which shall emerge

ein institution, heir of all the church-

es, a great temple of the Living God

where all may worship and plan and

cooperate in the making of this world

better; unless the churches can do

this they will lose out, but to get back

to the rural school.



The one-room school is doomed to

disappear. It no longer meets the ed-

ucational requirements of the times.

It; is not giving country boys and girls

a training that can in any way com-

pare to that received by children in a

good graded school. It is compelling

farmers to move to town that their





in the village schools, and thus be .e'd-

ucated in many cases away from the

farm. It is placing a handicap upon

rural life and rural progress. The

rural school must go. It has played a

very important part in the develop-

ment of the country. It was a'pioneer

institution along with the flail, the

grain cradle, and the. oxcart. .But we

are living in the age of the tractor and

the automqbile and with due respect

to that time-honored institution, “the

little red school house,” we can truth-

fully ,say that this type of school no

longer gives the country boy and the

country girl adequate training.



The consolidation of school and the

transportation of pupils seems the on—

ly satisfactory solution of the biggest

school problem in America- And con-

solidation is coming. Michigan has

now two hundred and seventy-four con-

solidated districts, eleven have cons‘ol-

idated during the past school year.

There is hardly a locality in'the state

where consolidation is not agitated.

The prediction is that consolidation

will sweep the state within the next





ten years.





The question, however, is, “What

are welgoing to do with the rural

school in the’meantime?” Consolida‘

tion in your locality may not be

brought about soon enough to benefit

our boy or girl and for the sake of

these boys and girls who are still in

the rural schools let us make these

schools-just as good as possible. Let

us install a heating-ventilating plant so

that our children can work without

having their minds on their physical

condition. _ Let us increase and regu—

late the supply of light to meet the re-

quirements of the eye as shown by

scientific investigation. Let us seat

our buildings so “that every pupil can

have a desk properly lighted, and let





that are a menace to health and have





 





children may continue their education.

month before the ground is plowed.

Fresh manure plowed down immedi-

.Muriate of. potash and. acid phos-

phate are also important in increasing

the potato yield, for it has been found

one hundred pounds of potash used

per acre, on both wheat and potatoes





‘ has accounted for an average increase





of twenty-one bushels per acre for the

first period of the twelve-year experi-

ment, and forty-nine bushels for the

second period, the comparisons being

made on fertilized and unfertilized

land. Acid phosphate has brought out

an increase in the yield of potatoes. by

eighteen bushels during the first part

of these periods, but has not made

any particular increase in the latter

part. However, in the rotation of

crops following, a considerable in-

crease was recorded.





The continuous cropping of potatoes

has an effect which fertility experts

do not yet completely understand, but

most growers find that an interval of

three or four years Is necessary be-

tween the potato erops if the greatest

economy in potato production is to'be

attainedsfi It seems that even heavy

application of fertilizer will not over-

come this difficulty. The disease prob-

lem may have something to do with it.



There are other factors influencing

the'yield of potatoes besides the fer-

tilizing. Some say that the‘use of

small tubers for seed will,gradually

reduce the yield. Others say that there

is no difference between the yields of

potatoes whether large or small tu-

bers are used for seed. “ At the Ohio

Experiment Station. however, there

has been an increase of, seventeen

bushels per acre in the use of large

potatoes over small. Small potatoes

may be used some! seasons for seed

Without a serious reduction, but the

continuous seléctlon is certain to ,re-

duce yields in ordinary potato grow-

growing. Some growers are accustom-

ed to‘ use potatoes that are too small





- , for market purposes, and lose money





by this practice.

As a rule the early planted potatoes

yield- the heaviest._ At the Ohio Ex-





planting is concerned. til i'

May has given the best '





 





compared with'. the middle of M

planting. The practice of late potato

growing does not bear a. cemplete ne-

lation to this work as 11 Wet- season

and extra good fertility conditions :aid

in p1oducing of a good crOp of late~

planted potatoes.





Much of the vitality of the seed po- ' i"





tatoes is lost through sprouting and

if the weather is such as to cause the

potatoes to sp1out heavily before late

planting, the results are not at all sat-

isfactory.





Spraying potatoes is simply a means

of crOp insurance. It is foolish for a





grower to start a "good crop and then





allow diseases and insects to destroy

the prospects of a good harvest. ' Ordiv

narily Bordeaux 'mixture prevents late=





blight, and arsenicals may be added 1

to this to control insects.





Bordeaux

mixture is made of four pounds of

quicklime and four pounds of copper

sulphate with fifty gallons of water.

This should be applied from ten to

fourteen days after the potatoes are

sprouted until they are mature. The

yields have frequently been increased

more than fifty bushels an acre when

this treatment was properly followed





and this means about three hundred ‘





per cent increase on the investment.

Late blight and rot are checked by

Bordeaux spraying and if a serious

outb1eak does occur, the plants are in

a. vigo1ous condition to withstand all

attacks.





From five to six pounds of lead paste

added to each fifty gallons of Bordeaux

mixture will keep off potato beetles

and other insects. When the pOWderl

ed arsena‘te of lead is used, only about





three pounds to each fifty galldns of





Bordeaux mixture is required.

'The merchant in this case is what

repairs. In such cases he is liable for

loss if he is guilty of negligence; and

inasmuch as he made the United

Last year I had a farm rented and

drilled ten acres of fall wheat with

consent of the owner of the land. Have

I any right to the crop after my lease

expires March 1, this year? If so,

how? J. S.





Where land is leased for a definite

term, the tenant plants at his peril, a

crop which he cannot harvest before

the end of the term; but where the

land is rented for an indefinite period

and terminated without the consent of

the tenant after the crop is planted he

has the right to return atlharveststime

to gather his crop. In this case, un-

less the owner of the land expressly

a. high temperature in the tightly seal-

ed cars, are sometimes sorely disap-

pointed by the appearance of black

heart 111 the tubers clotse to the stove.

n this disease the potatoes become

inky black in the hearts and are worth-

less for food or planting.



Pits which are opened late in the

spring, and tight cellars where the

temperature is high, often show. this

same disease in the potatoes stored

under the unfav01 able conditions.



The disease is of the nature of an

asphyxiation of the cells of the tuber.

Due to shortage of oxygen brought

about by the lack of ventilation plus

the increased call for oxygen brought

about by the ‘,warmth conditions are

set up leading to the death of the cells

which oxygen is not available, die and

subsequently blacken.



The disease is a serious one and

every effort should be made to prevent

shipments and of storage conditions.

It is now fairly definitely known un-

der what conditions the breakdown oc-

curs. If potatoes are put at ninety-

eight degrees F. blood temperature,

over night, undei conditions where

oxygen is scanty in supply, black heart

follows. Lower temperatures such as

sixty to seventy degrees F. will also

lead to black heart if the ventilation

is poor, but the reaction is much slow-

To .prevent loss it is necessary to





follow this rule for potato stmageJ

Holstein Vitality—from

Producer to Consumer





To the general public, milk' 1s milk. It

does not appreciate the fact that no or-

ganic foodstuff, except meat, shows

such marked variation in food value. It

is not the fat in the milk, but lthe pro-

teins, which build bone and muscle

and impart vitality. Purebred Holstein

cows' milk is low in fat percentage but





tists have established the fact that the

big healthy, vigorous Holstein cow pos-

sesses more vitality than other breeds,

and is able to transmit that vitality

through her milk to the consumer. It is

vastly superior to ordinary cows' milk

for infants, invalids and convalescents,





or for regular family use. It is more '

,easily digested, owing to its small fat





globules.

No seed treatment is of anyuse for

corn smut. - IThe nature of the smut

infection differs from that of oat, bar-

ley and 'wheat smuts, hence'methods

valuable for the small grains are of no





the case of com. In the cat smuts,

barley covered smut and wheat stink-





fore a. seed treatment which kills the

spores before they can here into the

tender sprout is remarkably eflicient.

In corn smut infection takes place,

not at sprouting time, but throughout

the growing season at any tender,

growing' points on the stalks, the

leaves, the ear or the tassel.‘ The

smut does not come from the spores

borne on the seed, but from old smut

masses which persist in the fields or

from cornstalk trash in the manure

splead upon fields.



Corn smut can only be controlled by

rotation of crops and by care that ma:

nure is not a source of infection to

the crop. Doubtless destruction of the

first smut boils which appear on the

young plants—these can be pulled up

during the early cultivations-Fwould

well repay the little additional trouble

entailed. Promising results are to be

expected in the development of smut-

resistant strains of corn and in-the

future we may expect that seed breed-

ers will offer corn varieties with a

strong smut 1esistancé.



Do not treat your seed cern—spend

that time in hosting your oats and

barley where the results will pay.

Your best work with corn seed will be

germinationtests to eliminate the ears

of low ‘vitality and the ears whose ker

Two things at least, are concerned

decking of the flesh with small iron-

the flesh of the potato is known as

internal brown spots It is.caused by

excessive dryness at'the critical times

in tuber formation last summer. You

will recall that your section suffered





extreme drought in July and August.

Great variations of water supply are

believed to be responsible for the

breakdown of the cells as described,





and dryness is the usual factor. There,





is no parasite responsible and none

have ever been found associated with

this trouble. .





The blackening of the flesh of pota-





toes is due to death of the tissues and





general deterioration of the flesh en-

suing. It is worse on tubers improper-

ly stored. Bruised, partially rotted tu-

bers, etc. tend to blacken when cook-

ed. .Some varieties are less handy to

111 usage in storage than others.





Any tubers with discolored flesh are

unsafe seed stock. If you value your





.grOund, your time and your piospects





for a bumper potato crop; start the po-





next season. Disca1d this seed and

get as good seed from tubers of uni-

» sandy soil sown t‘o' rye very late last

fall, that} wish to~seed to clover in

-, the spring. _ .

ings of clover on this field. . Two years

ago this field was sewn to oats and

harvested a light. crop; last season

’ had rye in this field and another light

crop. Last fall we applied 500 pounds

of hydrated lime per acre, and .250

pounds of acid phoSphate per acre, and

.sowed one and .a quarter bushels oil,

Rosen rye per acre. ‘Now I have two

plans for. managing this field“ One is

to seed to clover in the spring, and

.pasture during the summer, and not

‘cut the rye, but let the cattle and

' sheep eat» it. The other plan would be

to seed "to clover and cut the rye.

Which way would I be most likely to

get the clover? Could you adviSe any

- bétter-wa‘y to manage this field? If

5‘ I‘rifail tO‘fig‘et clover this year, how

3 - Would you think best to. proceed to get



I ' a catch of clover?

* :Can yon give me any practical ex;

3 . p'érience regarding the use of the culti-

- packer on fall-sown wheat? 1. Does

it; do the» wheat any good to use it in

the spring after the ground is settled?

‘2. Will it cover clover seed when used

' on wheat fields in the spring? Is.di-

gester tankage a good feed forlaying

hens? 'Will it make milk for brood



sows?



I have a lot on the river flats that:

is mostly sandy loam with some places'

that are somewhat gravelly and some

places are rather heavy soil. Rye was

grown on this land last season; have

missed two seedings. Soil is not as



l productive as it used to be. Have

, grown 125 baskets of corn per acre on

this land; cannot grow more than one-

L half that amount now. This field was

[ . fall-plowed, have. no manure for this:

land. .What kind of fertilizer would

you advise my sowing, if any. and how

much per acre, and how best to apply

same? I want. to get clover growing

on this field as soon as I can. Would

it be all right to sow to rye this fall

after corn, and seed to clover the fol-

lowing spring? Would you advise us-

ing lime or acid phosphate on this land

. this spring? Vv'hat form of lime is

p . , cheapest for 'best results?

CalhounCo. E. O. P. a

With an unfavorable‘year, it is some}?

times difficult to get a good seeding of

‘ clover on any kind of land, but in av-





 





 

 





 

 

 





erage years if the soil is in condition,

.. . rich and well supplied with vegetable

l , - matter, there is little difficulty in get-

i ting the clover to grow.





it Save a idem. that is. mostly, light 4





,I have missed two seed‘ ,





 





I am Mike opinion that you will be,

satisfied when you come to seed this:

field to Clover. Where you applied five;

{ , hundred pounds of hydrated lime and;

’ two'hun‘dred and fifty.,pounds of acid

phosphate last fall, this is most excel-

' , lent preparation for a catch of clover.

l ‘ 3 It would have been better had you ap-

, plied a ton of ground limestone be



cause your letter would seem to indi-



‘ cato that your land is probably defi-

cient in lime, that is, it has become

acid in reaction and clover cannot

thrive in an acid soil.





Another prime reason why clover

does not catch is because the soil is

depleted in available phosphorus and,

many times, potash as well. Therefore,

your application of acid phosphate was

the proper thing to do.



Undoubtedly, the surest way to get

a catch of clover is to seed to clover

alone. Prepare the ground well, ap-

ply lime and apply fertilizer contain

ing phosphorus and potash, but if the

land is real poor then a complete fer-

.: tilizer, one which contains nitrogen as



well as phosphorus and potash, should



be applied and the more liberal appli-

"cation of fertilizer the better growth

of clover you are going to get.

Usually, where the rand is in any-

thing like favorable condition, we can

grow a crop of rye or barley and seed



to clover with these crops and get a



good catch of clover. The difficulty



.comes when we have an exceedingly



dry season. In such a season, the cat



or ,‘rye crop uses so much moisture

, y , that. the clover is killed by the drought

while if ,itwas; seeded alone it'would,

clover the quickest ,way to get into

‘clo'ver would be to. immediately after

harvesting ‘the rye 0r oat crop. disk

the ground. barrow it, thoroughly pre-

pare it and seed at once to clover

‘alone. There is this risk. If it is a

dry summer, you would not have a

sufficient amount of moisture for germ-





‘ 'ination before the 'fall rains come,





which would make its. trifle late, but

on your kind of soil, I am confident

'it would get growth enough so that it

would be practically safe from winter-

‘killing. In this case, I would again

'use lime and a good, liberal dressing

of commercial fertilizer.



' The Cunt-Packer.



I donot see how. this tool would be

of very much benefit to be used on

winter wheat or rye in the spring. If

the crop was badly heaved by the frost

it would} undoubtedly pack it down

some and it might also cover up some

’clover seed, but the clover seed should

have been sown much earlier so that

it would have been covered by the ac-

tion of the frost and then the packer

would be apt to injure the clover seed

which had already germinated. Qn

spring-plowed land this is a most ex-

cellent tool to firm the ground down

and make a good’seed-bed.~



Digester Tankage.



This is .a splendid fool for laying

hens, also for brood sows. lt furnishes

a high grade of protein which is very

digestible. In various feeding experi-

ments no food has given better results

than Adigester tankage. C. C. L.

It is not easy to draw milk, unless a

Feed her grain, and keep her warm.





Indigestion—Thumps.-——I raised six

orphan pigs which seemingly thrived

they took thumps and all died. I fed

them new cow’s milk. A. W. W., Ad~

feed trough twice a day, fed them ster-

ilized milk, they might have lived.

Doubtless they had indigestion. Too

little cleanliness is usually practiced

in the feeding of orphan pigs. We all

know what happens to children that

are carelessly fed on raw milk. If you

try it over again, scald the feed trough

with boiling water twice a day and do

the same with feeding utensils and it

will bring substantial returns.

It is hardly believable. Keeping 7 cows for a whole year on

wou d produce even one-half or one- uarter of this amount,

milk would be produced at one-half o what it is being pro-

duced for at the present time. On one acre of land in the State

of Mich! an,Ron' Eureka Ensilage Corn produced in one year

70 tons 00 pounds of the best quality of sweet ensilage. Fig—

past year with your Eureka Corn, although we had

a poor corn year in this section. it being‘nothing but

rain. rain. all the time early in the season. so it made

us very late in getting the corn planted. and after

that as you well know we went through one of the

very worst droughts this section ever saw. N otwith-

standing all this we got simply an immense yield from

your Eureka seed. in fact we filled one immense silo



om nine acres alone, and a friend of mine near here

a Mr. Ely Bueil, even had more phenomenal success

than we did. I think I never saw such corn as he

FIRST EDITION.





 





The markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Tuesday, morn-

ing, March 16. .





WHEAT





The guaranteed price for wheat to

producers will expire by limitation at

midnight May 31, according to Julius

Barnes unless congress grants an ex-

tension of time. This has been sug-

gested, but does not seem to meet the

approval of the house agricultui‘al com-

mittee. At Detroit the market is quiet

and receipts light. Present values are

as follows: ‘



No. 1 red ...... ........$2.45

No.1 mixed 2.43

No.1 white ............ 2.43





 





No.2red ......... ...... 2.42

NO. 3 red IOOOIDOOOIOI'O 2'39

CORN





The market is quiet and firm. Opin-

ions differ regarding the effect that

the trouble in Germany may have on

the general grain trade, but the gen-

eral belief that prevails among the

grain dealers is that the demand for

corn and other grains will be lighter

for some time. At, Chicago prices

made a sudden advanCe as the result

of rumors that eastern railroads had

been; called upon to furnish Chicago

shippers with 3,000 cars. These orders

for cars and a message that. the inter-

state commerce committee had promis—

ed to supply Chicago with 300 cars a

day to take grain east during a period

of ten days also contributed to the ad-

vance. At Detroit present quotations

for corn are as follows:



No. 3 corn ......... . . . .$1.58

No. 3 yellow ............ 1.62

No.4 yellow............ 1.58

No. 5 yellow............ 1.53

i

The decline of Saturday Was recov-

ered although the market is not spe-

cially strong. Buyers are not taking

all of the offerings. Present prices at





- Detroit are as follows:





No.2 white ..............97

No.3 white . .............96

N0. 4White OOOOIDOOOOUOOOI95





There is not much activity in the

rye deal, but the price gained one cent

over Saturday’s quotations. Present

values at Detroit are $1.75 per bushel

for Cash No.32 rye.





RLEY





The situation remains about the

same in the barley deal. Present val.

lies at Detroit are $3@3.25 per cwt. for

Cash No. 3 barley.





EANS





The market for beans is dull, but

prices are steady. Choice hand-picked

pea. beans are quoted at $6.50 per cwt

on the Detroit market. At New York

the trading continues dull with a gen-

erally easy tone. Present quotations

for choice pea beans are $7.50@7.75;

red kidneys $14.50 per cwt. At Chi-

cago the market for beans is dull and

unchanged. The supply is sufficient

to meet all demands. Present quota-

tions are $6.75@7.25 for choice pea

beans, and $13.50@14 per cwt for red





kidneys.

SEEDS





Cloverseed is firm and prices have

advanced 25c.

and present values at Detroit are as

follows: Prime red clover $33.75; al-

sike $35.25; timothy $6.50.





Feed is in active demand and all

kinds with the exception of fine mid-

dlings are higher. Present values at

Detroit are as follows: Bran $53;

standard middlings $55@56; fine mid-

dlings $58@59; coarse corn meal at

$66.50; chop $59 per ton in loo-pound





sacks.

POULTRY





A revival of poultry buying has giv-

en‘firmness to the trading and some

improvement in prices. Following are

Detroit’s present quotations: -Live

Poultry—Spring chickens, large 36@

380 Leghorns 35@360; hens 38@400;

small hens 36@37c‘; roosters’23@24c;

geese 30@35c; ducks 40@45c; turkeys

44@45c per pound.



EG





Values are taking the usual down-

ward course for the season and deal-

ers are finding it a little harder to

clean up receipts even at the lower

valuations. Last week the net decline

amounted to ten cents in New York

and twelve cents in Boston. Chicago

values have been working lower but

slight reactions have also taken place

due to variations in receipts. A slight-

ly firmer tone prevails since Saturday.

The big demand is for fresh stock. At

Detroit fresh gathered extras are job-

bing at 44®441éc; at Chicago 42@

421/,c: at New York 46c, and at Phila-

delphia $13.65 per case for western ex-





tra firsts.

BUTTER





The price of butter was marked up

over three cents last week and in the





‘majority ,of the markets'lit is ”being

sustainedat the new level... The Situa-

'tion is bullish notwithstanding the

Danish 'importations. Offerings are in-

sufficient and some » unfaVorable re-

forward. Fresh creamery is jobbing

cents lasteek and in'Kansas City





prices are up another cent. NewYork.





dealers report their market as barely

steady, with creameri'es at 63@681,éc.

The market is firm in Philadelphia.





CHEESE





Moderate .trading characterizes the

majority of the cheese markets with

the general trend of prices in produc-

ing districts upward. This has had

some effect in stiffening values in Chi-

cago, but at other points there seems

to be fair stores and the influence is

thus far little felt. New York prices

are firmer while at Boston a-decline

is noted. In Philadelphia trading is

unchanged from last week.





POTATOES -





Trading is moving along in an even

course, with the demand and move-

ment moderate and the supplies in the

majority of the big markets fairly

light. Prices are being sustained, ex-

cept in a few instances where the sit-

uation is weakening a. little since the

warmer weather arrived. In Detroit

there is nothing new, with sales of U.

S. grade No. 1 to jobbers at $7.85@

8.25 per 150-lb. sack. In Cleveland the

same grade is bringing $8.25 per sack;

STOCK SHIPPERS MEET AT COOP-

ERSVlLLE. '





 





N interesting meeting or the Stock

Shipping Association was held at

Coopersville, Thursday, March 4. This

is a live association belonging to 'the

State" and National Exchange. The





weather was very unfavorable for the





meeting but it did not keep the people

at home. Quite a few from other places

were there and gave short talks. State

Manager Compson gave a talk and an-

swered questions of interest to the

shippers.





 





AYRSHIRES INVADE THE WEST.





 





‘HE board ofdirectors of the Ayr-



shire Breeders’ Association, an-

nounce as a result of their meeting

held at New York, February 27, 1920,

that the forty-fifth annual meeting of

the National Ayrshire Bmeders’ Asso-

ciation will be held in Chicago, Illinois,

on Wednesday, June 9, 1920, and that

the second annual national sale will

be held in connection with same on

Thursday, June .10.



(The association inaugurated a pro

gressive. policy last year in holding

their meeting and sale at Springfield,

Mass, with marked success. For years

previous the meetings have always

been held in New York or Philadel-

phia. This western invasion should

instill enthusiasm into the breeders of

the middle west and tend toward a

stronger spirit or cooperation than ev-

er before.

Milestones





How American Farmers are keeping

abreast of the times . -





ARMERS are learning

the cost of lost motion.

They are passing by the mile—

stones of lost motion to the





goal of highest efficiency.





A prominent engineer who

has followed the tractor in—

dustry for years estimates that

the average farmer in Illinois

has to travel 6 to 8 miles to

secure parts. In Minnesota

this distance is from 10 to 15

miles! This same expert gives

as his opinion that 70% of all

tractor troubles are due to in-

correct lubrication.





The lesson is clear—to

avoid frequent need of parts,

made useless by needless wear,
