You probably all know that the Fair

requested a hearing. Weasked him if

he‘proposed to set a price on the farm-

it. We asked him if he thought that

the-distributors in the city of Detroit

should have any profit. And he replied

that he thought, considering the risks

they assumed and the ‘unpreventable

OLLOWING the appointment of the Federal Fair Price Com-



mittee and its initial hearing. on the Detroit milk situation, as

reported in our last issue, the Detroit Area Milk Commission met

on April 3, to consider what action it should take in these circum-

stances. After careful deliberation the following communication

was addressed to the chairman of the Federal Committee:





HON. WM. F. CONNOLLY,

Chairman, Federal Fair Price Committee:



In View of the inquiry instituted by your committee, as a legally

constituted authority, into the matter of milk prices in the city of

Detroit, the Detroit Area Milk Comision deems it to be its duty

to address this communication to you.



This commission, as you know, is an extra legal body, acting

without authority of law or other authority except that vested in it





by petition of the milk preducers and distributors in the Detroit '





market milk area and the common consent of the consuming public





’of this city, through representation on the commission.





The members of this commision undertook the work asked of it

reluctantly as a war emergency duty, and then only after a mem-

ber of the commission, then State Market Director, had taken the

matter up with the Food Administration and been advised by Judge

Lambto take care of the emerge/nay locally, if possible. Since it

was-called to this service as a war emergency in the autumn of





_1917, this commissionhas continued to serve in the same capacity

by repeated annual request of milk producers and distributors in





the Detroit market milk area and with the acquiescence of the con-

Its personnel is as follows:

J. Walter Drake, Chairman, selected by Detroit Board of Commerce.

Mrs. Frederick Ray, Pres. Detroit Federation of Women’s Clubs.

Frank X. Martel], selected by Detroit Federation of Labor.

Fred M. Warner, Ex-Governor of Michigan.

Fred-L. Woodworth, State Food and Drug Commisisoner.

I. R. Waterbury, Member of State Board of Agriculture.

James N. McBride, former, State Director of Markets.

A. C. Anderson, Professor of Dairy Husbandry, M. A. C.



In its work the commission has considered its first duty, to be

to safeguard ‘and insure an adequate present and future milk sup

ply to the people of the city of Detroit, and as a means to that end





‘has made a careful investigation and study of production and dis-





tribution costs,- and has undertaken to keep the price of milk to

consumers at the lowestpoint compatible with‘ those legitimate

costs. Its acts, and the information on which these acts were based

are a matter of record, which» record, together with a mass of data





‘ which may be valuable to you, will .be made available to you it





you so desire.



In View of the above noted legal status of the two bodies this

Commission has no desire to add complications to an already deli-

cate, if not critical situation, and, is reluctant to continue its sit—

tings” if your committee desiresth function in this capacity. In that

event this commission feels that you should be advised of the fact

that contracts made andnow in force previding for a supply of

market milk for the city of Detroit are based on the premise that





, this commission would continue to act thxoughout the year





If it is in accord with the wish or judgment of your committee,

this commission will be glad to be relieved of the onerous task

which has been imposed upon it and which it has assumed 801er





I as a pubiiefiuty, and will be glad to be advised of your desires in

problems by cooperation.





are happening about us today are mere—





ly child's play compared with what“





will happen if you and I as citizens do

not do our duty and hold things where

they should be. We can do these

things without striking, for striking is

dangerous business. And let none of

us get excited and want to become

martyrs, for today we would be cheer-

ed, but [in two years when we came

out we would be jail birds. Two years

is a, long time and people forget. If

you asked me what I'should do I would

say that, individually, I would quit

milking my cows. That would be bet-

ter than going to jail.



“Let us do everything we can to con~

vince people of the facts and put up

such a case that they can’t give us an

unjust decision. There is no question

but that prices have gone down in

some sections due to the closing of

condensing plants, but that does not

affect us much here. We will have a

surplus at times to deal with, but it

should be taken care of in a sound

businesslike way. We should adver-

tise and create a greater demand for

our milk instead of cutting down the

price. That is the only way to insure

a steady supply. We have accomplish—

ed much in the last two years, but we

have only begun our work. If we are

going ahead and take business chanc~

es we have got to take some losses as

well as the good things. I don't know

what we may have to do. Our whole

system of distribution is too expensive

and I am not sure but that we have

got to solve some of the distribution

The thing

that we have got to' do is to make

things so that in some way the folks

on the farms get more than thirty»

three per cent of the consumer’s dol-

lar.”



Secretary Reed made an eloquent

plea for the milk producers to stand

together and act sanely during the im-

pending crisis. He urged the need of

remaining loyal to the organization and





’to one another until the farmer is rec-





ognized as a factor in the commercial

life of the country. We are going on

to face the enemy and do what we be-

lieve is right. We would be poor so»

diers, indeed, if we should fall back

after the first volley had been fired

at us.

“I can’t conceive,” said Mr.

(Continued on page 686).

Unjust as this disturbance of the

when producers’ costs me higher than

ever before may be, it will be the part

of wisdom for every producer in the

Detroit area to continue to ship his

milk as usual, since every resource will

be exhausted by the officers of the

milk producers’ organization to get a

just price {or the product, by action of

the committee if possible, and by re—

course to the courts if this cannot be

accomplished.

NFORMATION I am receiving indi-

Icates that the American Federa—



tion of Farm Bureaus is making a

rapid growth. The membership is in-

creasing by the thousands. and the or—

ganization is doing effective work for

the protection and betterment of the

farmers. The Washington headquar-

ters of the Federation is at 1411 Penn—

sylvania avenue, with Gray Silver, of

West Virginia. in charge.



In discussing the railroad situation,

Mr. Silver says it emphasizes very

forcefully the highway question. The

road bill introduced in the senate by

Senator Charles E. Townsend of Mich-

igan, and know-as the Townsend bill

provides for a city to city system of

automobile roads. This, according to

Mr. Silver, does not meet the present

situation. Far more than pleasure rid-

ing automobile city to city roads, the

country needs the farm to town high~

ways. The Federal Department of Ag-

riculture is promoting suchn system

in the interest of both the producers

and consume1s



The railroad strike is going to em-

phasize the in1po1tance of ma1ket high-T

ways, and will no doubt be the means

of developing an agitation for bettel

marketing roads. The people of the

cities will hme to aid in the develop-

1 xcnt of the farm to town road 81 stem,

or go hungry. It is no longer safe to

depend wholly upon the railroads to

supply the cities with foodstuffs.



The productsof the soil built our

railroads and must build our high-

ways. For the good of all the people

the g0vornment cannot afford to be

stingy with the public highways. Ev-

ery farm is entitled to a good road to

town, and the farmers, usually slow in

asking for appropriations, are justified

in demanding sufficient apprOpriations

to construct and maintain these roads.



The costs of road construction are

high, but Henry Shirley, a highway au-

thority, estimates that With the excep

tion of wheat, every farm crop will

build more road per bushel, pound or

ton than before the war, the relative

cost of road building being less than

it was four years ago.



The widespread railroad strike has

brought to the people of the cities a.

serious food problem. But Mr. Silver





«points out that the present results of





the strike in shutting off the supply of

food, are small compared with the food

shortage next fall that will be inevita-

ble as a direct result of tying up the

railways this spring. The Long Island

potato growers werc’ unable to get

their seed from Aroostook county,

Maine, early in the season, owing to

the car shortage. They appealed to

Mr. Silver, who was able to get from

the American Railway Association the

country, , and this will undoubtedly

cause a serious shortage of food next

fall, with another boost in the high

cost of living and the probability of

more st1 fires to secure increased wages

to catchpup with living costs.



Mr. Silver predicts that the Copper-

Heisman bill will be reported but of

the cou1mittee this Spring. The Fed-

eration: of Farm Bureaus Washington

headquarters is receiving many letters

from farmers, 511011eg demanding the

enactment of this bill. One county

agent, writing to Mr. Silver from Okla,-

homa, says:





“It seems to me that conditions are

such at this time that congress must

do something for the farmer, and the

agricultural interests of the country,

or the farmers will be forced to go out.

of extensive business. No industry can

survive producing at a financial loss,

and that is .just what the farmers areC

strictly up against now and they are

quitting by the thousands. Our county

put out 1'37, 500 acres of wheat in 1918.

The 1919 301.11 acreage is less than

8000 acres by actual data gathered.



To 11111511 ate the feelings of. the far 1-11

ers: About four weeks ago I visited

a farmer who put out eighty acres of

wheat in the fall of 1918. Last fall

the same farmer put out six acies.”

The inability of the fauners to com-

pete with the lailroads mines and

factories in securing labor, according

to this man, is a'leading factor in the

decreased acreage of wheat. ‘





Some farmers are wondering why a.

bill so strongly backed by the farm

organizations and consumers’ associa-

tions, as the CappenHersman bill, can

be held up and smothered without the

senate having a. chance to vote on it.

Senator Copper, explains this, by say-

ing that “the bill has been lodged for

months in the judiciary committee,

whereit was in turn referred to a sub-

committee. This sub—committee refus

es to report the measure to the full

committee and thus balks its report to

the senate. The judiciary committee

is made up of lawyers. The bill was

referred to this committee on the

ground that there Was a question about

its constitutionality. What has hap-

pened is that lawyers on the commit-

tee are blocking its report under the

claim. that it; is class legislation.” ’





‘ Opposition of the National Grange

and other influential farm organiza-

tions to compulsory military training

and service has been effective in secur-

ing the defeat of this proposed meas—

ure, at least for \a time Voluntary

place and will undoubtedly be the pol.

The folks on the farms who were

of the farmers I meet in Washington,



coming from different parts of the

c.01mtry- are inclined to question wheth-

er congress might not better spend its

time enacting useful and much needed

constructive legislation, . rather 5 than

spending its eflorts in investigating

more importance just now than any

investigation; that congress might make

are more interested in profiteering

iteers of 1918





Echoes of the Hodver food adminis-

floors of congress. Senatbr Copper has

introduced a billto reimburse wheat

Origin of Marl.





Usually the discovery of a bed of

marl excites much interest and cur-

iosity, especially as regards its forma-

tion. Sometimes a bed of grayish-

w hite clay is mistaken for marl. Many

marl beds were formed thousands of

years ago and others are being formed

in our "age and generation. Th‘eflcar-

bonate of lime in the marl already

.formed came originally: from limestone.

it can be easily obtained.‘ It is well,

therefore, to have marl beds analyzed





to determine their value as carriers of-





lime. Some excellent marl beds are

accessible and near railroads. Other

beds have been plowed through in the

digging of large, drainage, outlet ditch-

Committee in the matter oi retail milk

prices in Detroit, which hearing was





held in the Federal Building on Tues-

. day evening, April 13. But three mem-





bers of the committee were present,

Chairman Connolly being absent from

the city. The producers ‘were given

the first opportunity to be hand. P1013.

A. C Anderson, of M. A. 0., was asked

by President Hull to [insult the ex-

periment station figures on the cost of





‘ milk production. Professor Anderson





had those figures, together with data

regarding milk prices and distribution





| costs in fluid‘milk markets throughout





the United States in documentary

form, with copies for each member of

the committee and supplemented these

data sheets with oral explanations. He

was proceeding with an. analysis of the

situatiOn in and about the city of M11—

waukee, where milk is retailed at a

lower price than in any other city in

the country, explaining the nature of

the farming country close to the city

which is adapted to dairy‘mg and not

to general farming, commenting on the

fact. that the city supply is derived

from nearby territory where it is haul-

ed directly from the farm to the dis-

tributing plant and analyzing the busi-

ness of the Gridlcy Dairy Company,

the principal distributors of the city

to show that their margin of profit

was smaller than would suffice in a

similar business in a large and grow-

ing city like Detroit where expansion

must be continuous.





The apparent attitude of a majority

of. the members oi the committee was

demonstrated. Acting Chairman Cu-

slck. of the committee, asked the wit-

ness regarding the comparative prices

paid producers in the Milwaukee and

Detroit areas. The answer was that

it was less in the Milwaukee territory.





,On being asked how much less the Wit-





ness said he had comparative prices

for only one month, and indicated that

an intelligent reply would necessarily

have to be based on the figures for a

year, which he did not have, but which

he would secure for the committee if

they so desired. On his refusal to

make an estimate without exact knowl—

edge the witness was charged with:

evasion and excused by being told that

he could “go, and take his sheets with

him."





Another member of the committee

asked President Hull it he had any

producers who could give testimony of

a practical'nature, and indicated his

belief that experiment station figures

were’always high. Several witnesses

were introduced to show the high costs

of foods and labor, and two witnesses

who had kept careful cost accounting





' records showed their costs to have





been $4.05 and $3.93 per cwt. respec-

tively, covering. periods of ten months

The Rural





Credit BillI





By Job” R. Rm!





N February 21 or this your, a bill 3. The loans are made on the repute

was introduced In congress by of the feeder for integrity, knowledge





Representative Louis '1'. McFadden, of

Pennsylvania, in which every farmer

is interested. l‘t provides for the es-

tablishment under United States super-

vision and support, of a national “Run

a! Credit Society” with a central office

at a. place to be fixed by commission-

ers provided for in the bill, with

branches, one in each state and with

as many local “Communes” in each

state as may beaorganlzed.



The bill also provides for a “Liberty

Insurance League” with local offices to

do agricultural insurance.



In his address in introducing his

measure the author of the bill an-

nounced that it was proposed to fur-

nish for the farmer the personal credit

enjoyed by the merchant in conducting

his business, and adopted to the needs

or credit for the raiser or stock. and

the producer of crops.



The thirty and sixty-day credit

granted on commercial paper by the

established cannot-cit] banks is man-

ifestly wholly i’nadequflc for the farm—

or. If the former asks credit to finance

putting in a wheat crop, when the pa-

per becomes due be has nothing with

which topcylt. lithe paper-nun

year he could sell his crop and pay

the note with the pmceodS. The time

allowed the merchant to turn over his

stock is wholly inadequate to entitle

the farmer to turn his crop or stock.

National Farm Linn Banks in not

admirably adapted to financing the

purchase or improvement of a farm.

but is wholly unsuited to the needs of

the live stock feeder. breeder. and the

cropper. who would furnish only a pe1-

sonal pmpexty security, and who ord1-

mrlly desires to pay in

months to two or three years.



Personal property loans are gener-

ally regarded by banks as accompa-

nied by the greater risk or any class

of loans; and for this reason they are

generally refused by commercial banks

and are handled only by pawnbrokers,

industrial banks, etc... at prohibitive

rates of interest.





In some parts of the country there,





are banks that have assumed that clafis

of business; and the cashier of a. large

bank in a. western state told the Writ-





er a. short while ago, that his bank.





had invested nearly seventy-five per





cent or their assets in live Stock loans.





for a number or years past, and ex-

plained that his bank had not. yet 1911

or his blindness, and his experience;

and he buys. only because he believes

he would make a. profit by the process;

and the loan is made by the banker be~

cause he also has that belief.





4. Loans are never made unless the

borrower has put some real money into

the stock himself, which he stands to

lose unless the bank is paid.





The scheme of the author of the bill

for the Rural Cmdlt Society is put-

terned very much after the plan of

the Federal Farm Loan Banks. each

local chapter standing liable for all the

loans made to its members-to the ex-

tent or the stock of the local branch;

and in addition the Stock of the state

branch is ultimately liable on all loans

in the district if not otherwise col—

lectable.





Since these credit. banks are forbid-

den to take ‘money on deposit and

would. finance their loans only by sale

or their paper and by use or the capi-

tal invested in the stock, the-y would

not be competitors of the commercial

banks. to any considerable extent.





The details of the plan are too great

to be stated in an article like this;

and to pass on thcwisdomandadapta-

tionottheplanloalldctails tube

W would require more knowledge

of banking than the writer possesses:

but it is believed that the plan in gen-

on] has great merit; and that such a.

bank would put the crapper and stock

raiser. who would borrow on this per-

sonal property security. on a par with

the merchant in getting banking sup-

port. A word by, the reader of this

article to his congressman concerning

* Organizations of southern Michigan,

the Goldwater Cooperative Company

holds a high place. This is one of the

pioneer companies of this sgction. For

six years the cOmpany has been doing

a successful business, constantly en-

larging its: sphere of usefulness, and

annually increasing its business. Like

all cooperative associations in .these

parts, the Goldwater company began

with the shipping of live stock—an un-

dertaking that has been conducted suc-

cessfully from year to year. Last‘year,





\husiness amounting to a half million'





dollars was done alOng this line.





‘ Shipping live stock is not, however,-





the only shipping business ”carried on

by the company. Practically all kinds

of farm .prOducts are now handled. All

kinds of grain, clover Seed, potatoes

cabbage—these are some of the things

successfully handled.

The company now owns a good-siz-

ed warehouse and a three-cargrain ele-

, .vator, with provisions for greater ca-

’ pacity when needed. The shipping of





grain is comparatively a new thing

“Will state that when we started to

take in rye, the local mill was paying

-$1.35, while we paid $1.60. When we

began taking in wheat, the local mill

.was paying $2.12 to $2.15. We started

,inpaying $2.35 for NT). 2 wheat and

three cents more for No.1. Then the

localmill raised the price to $2. 40, and

the price today, for No.1, is..$2 43, and

three cents less for No.2. We will let





you be your own judge as to whether





or not the company is handling grain

successfully. I might state that we

buy this wheat and pay the grewer at

the time the grain is delivered to us.

This seems to us to be the only reas-

lble manner in which to handle the

grain proposition. ” 1

the ground which would have been

planted to beets under contract or

rangements, meeting their approval.



In. view 0! the great demand for

sugar, the excellent adaptation of Mich-

igan conditions to the production of

this crop, and the high deveIOpment in

skill in production achieved by Mich-

igan growers, it is undoubtedly with

considerable regret that many Mich}

gan growers turn to other crops.



It is hoped that even at this late”

date an agreement can be achieved





between growers of the association and





s‘ugsir manufacturers which will be sat-





isfactory to both parties and insure

' the usual acreage of beets on Michigan





beet soils, and a sufficiently large har-

vest to keep Michigan beet factories. in

profitable operation.



The sugar beet business, if it is to

thrive in Michigan, must be on a basis

[which is profitable-to both grower and

manufacturer, and if this basis cannot

be achieved the industry is doomed to

wane and other crops will take the

place of beets—a. most regretable cir-

cumstance, for Michigan has taken

pride in this splendid crop and profit-

able industry.



If by planting time, adequate re-

wards, in the estimation of beet grows

ers, to encourage production, are not

assured the problem of what crops

which are best to grow in place of

boots may be uppermost in the minds

of the members of the Boot Growem’

Association. Since beets are usually

grown in a. definite rotation, the first

crops to be considered are other culti-

vated crops, such as corn, beans and

potatoes, which occupy a similar place

in the rotation.



Corn 3 Logical Crop.



Corn will do well on ground formerly

given over to beets. Good beet soils

are usually excellent corn'soils. Fall

plowing and early spring plowing (,1

land is the usual custom in preparing

for beets, and fits, the ground very

well for corn. Any extra production

of corn is not likely to influence the





 





market to an appreciable extent, and

a grater production than usual on the

form is readily taken care of by feed-





, ins out more stock .or by git tea

under ordinaiy conditions, would fill-

out a large part of any acreage not

taken up by beets. Present market

conditions, however, are not normal in

regard to beans. The competition of

the Japanese beans, particularly of the

Kolenashi type. has discouraged an

expansion of the bean acreage. It

would not, apparently, be advisable to

grow a. larger acreage than normal of

the white pea. bean; however, attention

is called to the fact that Red Kidney,

beans are selling at a much higher

mice than white pea. beans. While the

Japanese can grow these beans, up to

the present time they have not been

furnishing Red Kidneys in any great

amounts, but have been seriously com- '

peting with the White Navy been by,

shipping over immense supplies of the

Kotenashi, which is very similar. in

fact. practically identical to our white

pea bean. An increased acreage Of

Red Kidneys appears warranted.

Potatoes Not Well Adapted. .



Owing to the rather heavy nature or

most beet land no very great acreage

of beet soil should be given over to

potatoes. On the more loamy type a

good yield and a good quality of pota-

toes can be secured. As in the case

of beans, a few may do well with-po-

tatoes, but a large new acreage would

be unsafe.



The advantage of the above crops is

that they occupy the same place in our

rotations as sugar beets and can be





‘followed by small grains seeded to





clover, as is usual in the sugar beet

mgions.

Oats and Barley.



Those who do not grow beets in a

regular rotation may find small grains.

such as oats, barley, or spring wheat.

good crops to grow. Beet ground is

well adapted to a high production .of

any of these crops, and, should be in

condition to réeeiva them. Spring

Cause mare Damage than Bugs





Potato blight is a fungous disease that attacks the vines

and may kill them in a few hours. It Causes rot, either

in the ground or in the cellar. Blight is a more serious

enemy than bugs. It shortens the growing season, cuts

down the yield and causes heavy losses by rot. It is easy

enough to kill bugs with a poison, but a fungicide is

needed to prevent blight. You can do both by spraying





with





This combined poison and fungicide prevents blight and kills

bugs with the same application. it keeps the vines green and healthy

and prolongs the growing season right up to frost. Pyrox is a

smooth, creamy paste, ready to use by mixing with cold water. It

sticks like paint. Respraying is required only to cover new growth.

In our on 'citydaily paper we hate

printed eighty-three of these farm auc-

tions during the last six weeks. Not

all of them have had the same heath

ing as above, but a good many have

and it skews a. serious situation.



Some of the auction sales show that

tenants have made enough working





ber of years past and have now bought





"a. farm of their own. son Others have





been paying installments on a' small

term bought several years ago and

they new will quit working large farms

on shares and go onto a small term

where they hepe to be able to do the

most of the work themselves and be

more or less free from the hired man

luxury.



In fact, these tenant farmers have

done pretty well working others’ farms

for quite a long term‘ of years. They

have saved and planned for a small

farm of their own in the sweet by and

by and that little place of their own is

in sight now.



These tenant farmers have been of

a class that is an honor to our coun-

try. From henceforth they will be

land owners and first-class citizens.

We know this is true, for we have late-

ly made quite a thorough investigation

at the request of the editors of the

Michigan Farmer. We might mention

We like to- feed baby chicks dry oat-

meal for the first feed antrcontinue it

for the first week. About five feedings

each day will be necessary. And only

give them the amount they will clean

up in a short time. A hopper of bran





., inear the brooder'will be beneficial as

. bran seems very helpful to the chicks





and they will not eat too much of it.

Of course, they need grit before their

first feed. We used to feed them com-

mercial grit but now believe that sand

gives them all the bits of grit they

need. Fine clover chafl or sprouted

oats will furnish green food until the

chicks can run out on the ground. If

they can run on a clover sod soon after

hatching we do not'find it necesasry

to supply other green food.



When the chicks are about a week



old they can be given the fine scratch

feed sold comnierCially for raising the

chicks. This can be‘ continued until

they are old enough to eat wheat and

cracked corn.

. We do not advise the making of

brooders at home because of the fire

risk and danger to the chicks if the

brooders are not made right. There

are so many brooderson the market

at reasonable prices that-it hardly

pays to make them. Occasionally

heaters are advertised in the poultry

journals which can be installed in

wooden boxes. This gives a brooder

at a'low price but we do not believe

they are usually as satisfactory as the

manufactured brooders. Chicks are so

expensive at the present time that the

poultryman cannot afford to risk them

in anything but the best of brooding

equipment. I R.., G. K.





 





UNSATISFACTORY RESULTS WITH

RATION..





Please outline a balanced ration for

cows fresh. I have enough ensilage to

food only about twenty-five pounds per

cow per day. I have plenty of bean

pods in fine shape, also cut corn fod—

der in a large quantity. Also clover

and timothy hay; more timothy than

clovef in' hay. I have been feeding as

follows, but am not satisfied with re-

sults: A small feed of about eight

pounds of ensilage in the morning, and'

all the cut corn fodder they will eat.

. Watered at nine o’clock, bean pods at

noon, or hay, alternating each day.

A full feed of about twenty-two pounds

of ensilage at.night,,watered at four

p.111. In addition to this I have been

feeding the followmg giain iation,

about one pound of grain to each four

'pounds of milk: Corn, ground fine,

200 lbs; bran 200 lbs; middlings 100

lbs; Oats 100 lbs; cottonseed, thirty-

.eight per cent, 150 lbs. F. G.





These are allg"'good foods in this ra-





. tion, including both roughage and‘con-





centrates. It is barely possible that

' you would get a little better results by

' increasing the per “cent of protein and

yet the wheat bran and the cottonseed

meal in the ration oughtto furnish the

necessary amount. If the cows are not

producing what they ought to, I am in»





' clined to] think” that it is due to‘some.





'thing else rather than the ration. Pos-

sibly they are not milked properly.

And, again, the barn may be 'toolcold,

little attention given to double matings

ing by the shoe manufacturers and

dealers.



The senate committee on agriculture

is evidently favorably impressed with

the Muscle Shoals nitrate bill, but the

proposition has found little encourage-

ment in the house, where politics has

hindered the proposed measure. Hear,

ings are being held before'the house

agriculture committee, and it is hoped

by its friends that the committee may

be able to see the matter in the light‘

of- the public good, and report favor--

ably on’the measure, which means a

great deal to the future production of

food on American farms. If the gov-

ernment is unwilling to aid the farmer

to lower the cost of production by en~

abling him to secure an ample supply

of fertilizers at a reasonable cost, it

cannot expect the farmers \to produce

food to meet the nation’s demands.



The railroad strike has started an-

other agitation in congress for more

drastic laws, 'for the protection of the

public. Senator Poindexter of Wash

ington state, has proposed a bill im-

posing ten years’ imprisonment and

ten thousand dollars fine for any per-

son w11o advises, solicits or persuades

others to joina strike which interferes

with interstate commerce. Senator

Thomas, of - Colorado, asserts that

these strikes are a part of a conspiracy

to fasten the Plumb plan of govern-

ment ownership on'the country, and

Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, declares

that no set of men should be permit—

ted to take the nation by the throat

and starve it to death. This point is

inevitable, that under our present de-

pendence upon the railroads as the ar-

teries for supplying the cities with

food some plan must be devised where-

by strikes on transportation Systems

can be~prevented. A compulsory court

of arbitration appears to be the most

likely plan yet proposedin congress.

The Measure of Progress





The progress of the

past, as well as that of

the future, is measured

by criticism—for criticism

exists only where there

also exists faith in ability

to improve.





We do not criticise an

ox cart or condemn the

tallow dip, for the simple

reason that they are

obsolete. During the

reconstruction period

through which our

country is now passing,

if the public does not

criticise any public utility

or other form of service,

it is because there seems





 





Ono System





   





to be but little hope for

improvement.





The intricate mechan-

ism of telephone service

is, under the most favor-3

able conditions, subject

to criticism, for the rea~

son that it is by far the

most intimate of all per-

sonal services.





The accomplishment



of the telephone in the :

past fixed the quality of '

service demanded today;



a still greater accom-

plishment in quality

and scope of service will

set new standards for _,

the future.

The Utilitor is especially well adapted

for work in orchards. We alter a disc,

spike tooth barrow, spring tooth har-

mw and a set of cultivating tools, any

of which are suiuble for orchard culti—

vation. With our hitches a wide range

of adjustments for these various tools is

possible. The Utllltor is only 36 inches

high, pemitting cultivation beneath low

hanging branches much clOser to trunks

of trees than is possible when horses are

used. There is no danger of the Utilitor

nipping fruit and branches. It is so easily

controlled that the operator need have

no fear of injuring trunks of trees, sur-

faced roots or branches as it the case

with horse cultivation.

hair was wavy, and a curling lock of

it had escaped from the band of his

cap at the temple; his eyes were brown

to match his hair and were the strik—

ing feature of a strong, rugged coun-

tenance, for they were spaced at that

eminently proper interval which pro

claims an honest man. His nose was

high, of medium thickness and just a.

trifle long—-the nose of a thinker. His

ears were large, with full lobes—.the

ears of a generous man. The'mouth,

full-lipped but firm, the heavy jaw and

square chin, the great hands (most

amazingly free from freckles) denoted

the man who would not avoid a fight

worth while. Indeed, while the girl

was looking covertly at him, she saw

his jaw set and a sudden, fierce light

leap up in his eyes, which at first sight

had seemed to her rather quizzical.

Subconsciously he ifted one hand from

the wheel and clenched it; he wagged

his head a‘very little bit; consequent-

ly she knew his thoughts were far

away. and for some reason, not quite

clear to her, she would have preferred

that they weren’t. As a usual thing,

young men did not go wool-gathering

in her presence; so she sought to di-

vert his thoughts to present company.



“What a perfectly glorious country!"

she exclaimed. “Can’t we stop for just

a. minute to appreciate it?”



“Yes," he replied abstractedly as he

descended from the car and sat at her

feet while she drank in the beauty of

the scene, “it’s a he country; I love it,

and I’m glad to get back to it.”



Upon their arrival at the rest-house,

however, Bryce cheered'up, and during

dinner was very attentive and mildly

amusing, although Shirley’s keen wits

assured her that this was merely a.

clever pose and sustained with dlfli~

culty. She was confirmed in this as-

sumption when, after sitting with him

a little on the porch after dinner, she

complained of being weary and bade

him good-night. She had scarcely left

him when he called: ‘



“George!"



The half-breed slid out of the dark—

ness and sat down beside him. A mo~

And plant my‘early blossoms there.

In orchard bare, on leafless lawn;





To build their nests beside your door





And rear their young. as oft before. ‘

“George, When did you first notice

that my father’s sight was beginnhz

to fail. ‘7” '



“About two years ago, Bryce.”



“What made you notice it?" ,



“He began to walk with his hands

held out in front of him, and some-

times he lifted his feel: too high."





“Oh, yes, a little hit—enough to

make his way to the omce and hue

“Poor old governor! George, until

you hold me this afternoon, I hadn’t

heard a word about it. If I had, I





never would hove taken that two-year '





jaunt around the world.”



George Sea Otter grunted. “That’s

what your {other said, too. So he

wouldn’t tell you, and he ordered ev-

erybody else to keep quiet about it.

Myself~welL I didn’t want you to go

home and not know it until you met

him.” v

“That was mighty kind. and consid-

erate of you. George. And you say

this man Colonel Pennington and my

father have been having trouble?"



“Yos-——" Here George Sea Otter

gracefully unburdened himself of a fer-

vent curse directed at Shirley’s avun‘

cular relative; whereupon that young

lady promptly left the window and

heard no more. '



They were on the road again by

eight o’clock next morning, and just as





Cardigan’s mill was blowing the six .





o'clock whistle, Bryce stopped the car

at the head of the street leading down

to the water-front. “I’ll let you drive

now, George,” he informed the silent

Sea, Otter. He turned to Shirley Sum-

ner. “I‘m going to leave you now,”

he said. “Thank you for riding over

from Red Bluff with me. My. father

never leaves the office until the whis-

tle blows, and so I’m going to hurry

down to that little building you see at

the end of the street and surprise

him.”



He stepped out on the running-

board, stood there a moment, and ex-

tended his ..hand Shirley had com-

menced ‘a. due and formal expression

of her gratitude for having been de-

livered safely in Sequoia, when George

Sea. Otter spoke:



“Here comes John Cardigan,” he

said.



“Drive Miss Sumner around to Col-

onel Pennington’s house," Bryce order-





.ed, and even while he held Shirley's





hand, he turned to catch the first

glimpse of his father. Shirley follow-

ed his glance and saw a tall. powerful-

ly built old man coming down the

street with his hands thrust a little in

front of him, as if for protection from

some invisible assailant.



“Oh, my poor old father!" she heard

Bryce Cardigan murmur. “My dear

old pal! And I've let him grape in the

dark for two years!"



He released her hand and leaped

from the car. “Dad!" he called. “It





is I—Bryce. I’ve come home to you '





at last."



The slightly bent figure of John Car-

digan straightened with a jerk; he

held out his arms, trembling with eag-

erness, and as the our continued on to

the Pennington house Shirley looked

back and saw Bryce folded in his fath-

er’s embrace. She did not, however,

hear the heart-cry with which the beat-

en old man welcomed his boy.



“Sonny, sonny-ah, I‘m so glad you

are back I’ve missed you. Bryce, I’m

CHAPTER vn

HIRLEY SHMNER’S eyes were





still moist When George Sea Otter,,'





in obedience to the instructiohs o





maid, and their hand baggage down On





‘ - the sidewalk in front of Colonel Seth”

Pennington’ 3 house. The halt-breed

hesitated a moment, undecided wheth~

or he would carry the hand- baggage





up to the door or leaVe that task fora.

Pennington retainer; then he noted the

tear-“stains on the cheeks of his fair

passenger. Instantly he took up the

hand-baggage, kicked open the iron

gate, and preceded Shirley up the ee-

ment Walk to the door.



“Just wait a moment, if you please,

George,” Shirley said as he .set‘the





baggage down and’startedback for the .4





car. He turned and beheld her .ex-

tracting a five-dollar bill from her





purse. “For you, George,” shecontin-





ued. “Thank you so much.”



In all his life GeorgeSea Otter had

never had such an experience—-he, hap-

pily, having been raised in a country

where, with the exception of waiters,





,only a. pronounced vagrant expects or





accepts a gratuity from a woman. He

took the bill and fingered it curiously;

then his white blood asserted itself

and he handed the bill back to Shirley.



“Thank. you," he said respectfully.

‘If you are a man—all right. But from

a lady—no. I am like my boss. I

work for you for nothing.”



Shirley did not understand his re—

fusal, but her instinctive .tact warned





her not to insist» She returned the ..





bill to her purse, thanked him again,





”and turned quickly to hide the slight

flush of annoyance. George Sea Otter '





loted it.



“Lady,” he said with great dignity,

‘at first I did not want to Carry your

baggage. I did not want to walk on

this land.” ~And with a SWeeping ges-

ture he indicated the Pennington

grounds. “Then you cry a little be-

cause my boss is feeling bad about his

old man. So I like you better. The





old man—«well, he has been like father





to me and my mother—and we are In-

dians. My brothers, toomthey work

for him. So if you like my boss and

his old man, George Sea Otter would

go to hell for you pretty .damn’ quick.

You bet you my life!”



“You’ re a very good boy, George "

she replied, with difl‘icuity repressing

a smile at his blunt but earnest avow-

al. “I am glad the Cardigan’s‘ have

such an honest, loya‘l servant.”



George Sea Otter' s dark face lighted

with a. quick smile. “Now you pay

me,” he replied and returned to the

car.



The door opened, and a Swedish

maid stood in the entrance regarding

her stolidly. “I’m Miss Sumner,” Shir-

ley informed her. “This is my maid,

Marcelle. Help her in with the hand-

baggage." She stepped into the hall

and called: “Ooh-hooh! Nunky~

dunk!” , r, .



“Ship ahoy!” An answering call

came to her from the diningroom,

across the entrance-hall, and anin—

stant later Colonel Seth Pennington

stood in the doorway.. “Bless my ,whis-

kers! Is that you, my dear?” he cried

and advanced to greet her. "Why, how





did you get here, Shirley? I thought .





you ’d missed the stage.”



She presented her cheek for his kiss.

“So I did, Uncle, but a nice red- haired

young man named Bryce Cardigan

“And I’m feeling perfectly splendid.

This is a“ wonderful country, Shirley,

and everything is going nicely with

“Bryce Cardigan, Boyce: know him,

Uncle?” T





”No, we haven’t met. Son of old ,





John. Cardigan, I dare say. I’ve heard

of him. He’s been away from Sequoia

for quite a. while, I believe.”



“Yes: he was abroad for two years

after he was graduated from Prince.»

ion,” Shirley replied.



“11min! Well, it"s about time he

came home to take care of that still—

necked old father of his.” He stepped

to the bell and pressed it, and the but .

rer answered. “Set a place at «line

for Miss Shirley, James,” he ordered '

“Thelma will show. you your roams .

Shirley. I was just about to sit down

to dinner. I’ll wait for you.”



While Shirley was in the Erma-room

Colonel Penningtonfs features wore an

expansion almost pontifical, but when

she had gone, the atmosphere of pater-

nalism and afiection which he radiated;

faded instantly. The Colonel’s face

was in repose now~cold, calculating,

vaguely repellent. He scowlcd slightly.



“Now, isn’t that the devil’s luck?”

he soliloquixed. "Young Cardigan is

probably the only man in Sequoia—

come interested in each other—at this

idone, let us get about it. .

To begin with, there are the win-

dows. Take down the curtains and

shades. Soap and water and a bright

clear day, with a good hot iron after,

will take care of'the curtains, but what

about the shades? Are they cracked,

faded and frayed at the edges? It they

are, remove them from the roller and

with a straightedge and a good sharp

knife trim off thelragged edges. Then

' spread the curtain out on a smooth





brush and a can of flat wall paint—as

nearly as possible the original color of

the shade,» go over it from top to bot-

tom, using even strokes and as little

paint as possible. After applying the

paint, go all over again with a dry

brush, to remove superfluous paint and

wipe out streaks. Wipe the brush off

frequently with a clean cloth. When

Nothing is better for cleaning win-

dow’s than clear warm water, ammonia,

clean lintless cloth and a good cha-

mois. Wash in water-and ammonia,

dry with the cloth, and polish with the,

Chamois. Too much ammonia dulls the

glass, so be careful in its use. The

woodwork, whether painted or varnish-

ed, should be washed with clean, warm

water and a mild soap. Rub, it imme-

diately after washing with a cheese-

cloth which has been allowed to absorb

a good furniture polish, and then pol~

ish with a dry cheesecloth.‘



There are many gooa furniture pol-

ishes _on the market which may be

mm on varnished surfaces, but a good

home-made one costs less. A pint of

paraffin oil mixed with ten cents worth

of turpentine and vigorously shaken,

makes a good polish and will be suffi-

cient for the whole housecleaning and

then some. Too much oil is worse

than none as it can not be absorbed

and gums the finish. Waxed wood

work or furniture should have a wax

instead of oil. This’may be. purchased

in either liquid or solid form and,‘like

oil, should be lightly applied. Varnish:

ed or waxed floors should be treated

the same as the woodwork, first a good

cleaning with soap and water, then an

application of oil or wax, and vigorous

polishing.



If papering is to be done you will

save a good deal of money if you pre-

pare the walls yourself, as the labor is

what counts this spring. In the‘ cities

paper hangers are charging from $1.00

$1.50 an hour, and the cost of pap'ering

an Ordinary house is not less than $200

ply apply hot water with a Whitewash

brush to a small portion of the old pa-

We save you money





The reason for the many over-values you

find in this new Mitchell is largely due to the

Mitchell way of scientific manufacture.





‘ We build our own bodies, for instance. The

usual way is to buy them outside. But we

save the outside builder’s profits, and put that

money into the car. It accounts for much of

the added value.



Then we save in building because we super-

vise every process. “'e pay no freight on

bodies. W'e suficr no delays, no compromise





(in quality.





To build bodies like those on these new

Mitchells would cost any assembler much

more. We build complete. ‘ ..



You’ve already heard of the efficiency of the

mechanical departments at our great Racine





in ways like these





plant, how we save thousands of dollars by

investing in the latest machinery, how we ap-

plied lessons learned when we worked for the

Government building trucks. How “0 gained

new accuracy.



The Mitchell offers several hundred dollars

more value because ,of these ways we save

money and put it into the car. You can’t find

such a wonderful performer, such a handsome

car, such an enduring car for anywhere near

the price. And we can prove it.



Go to any Mitchell dealer, take a look at

this car. Examine it. Compare it. It brings

the utmost for your money.

T is not much fun‘to be kicked out





morning? Makes a. fellow shiver and

wonder what has happened. anyhow,

that he should_be.f turned out into the

cold, cold world that way. By the

way lambs cry when they find them-

selves without a mother we surely can-

not help thinking that it is a pretty

serious thing.

Sometimes this happens when the

old sheep dies or is not able to provide

milk for her lamb; but on our farm it

has taken place more frequently than

otherwise for the simple reason that

the mother kicked her little one out,

or, as sometimes is the case, bunts it

away from her, so that we have to get

it out of the way of harm to save its

life. Then the question is, “What can

we do to comfort the little chap ?” We

do not like to have it die, as it will do

if not cared for right along. Let me

tell you how our folks deal with these

homeless and motherless lambs.



A good many times we have found

the lamb pretty nearly gone, on ac-

count of having been chilled and not





properly cared for by the old sheep.

More than once we have taken theSe

poor little fellows when their limbs

were beginning to get stiff and it seem-

ed as it they were just about as good

as dead. Taking them up to the house,

we place them in a box with plenty of

straw and a good warmvvpiece of cloth

to cover them over with. Down by the

kitchen stove we put them where the

warmth can reach them. If not too far

gone we fix up some cow’s milk good

and warm, and the house mother usu-

ally thinks a bit of black pepper is good

to warm the stomach up. With a spoon

she presses the jaws of the lamb apart

and drops a little of this good, warm

milk down the lamb’s throat. We think

if it can swallow, there is} still hope of

saving it. Pretty soon we hear the

first feeble bleat, and how that does





1 cheer Our hearts!





When the lamb gets strong enough





“to stand and eat “spoon victuals,” We-

" try to have the old ; “ ' "

of bed, is it, especially on 1?. Cold





there are two of them. By feedi'ngtho ,-





lamlra few days and giving the mother

Sheepgoodfood, it is sometimes pos-

sible to make her give more milk, so

that she will aim the lamb.



But if she does not, we have to do

the next best thing, and that Seems to

us is to get a bottle that will hold a

pint or so, and a nipple, such as is

used for babies that must be fed by

hand. The lamb soon learns to;_ta_ke

the nipple in its mouth, and how it'will

work away at it, just as eagerly; in

fact, as if it were sucking its .own

mother’s teats. If fed this way, it must

be done often, if the lamb is to grow

well. It ought to be fed six or eight

times a day, and once at bed time to

last all night. 2‘;



After the. lamb gets to be a. few

Weeks old, it will begin to lick a bit of

grain, if you place some in a little box.

Corn meal tastes geod and is good for

them. You may have to put a‘ few

grains up to the lamb’s mouth a3time'





..or two, until it gets the taste of it.





Then everything will go well. About

the same time, we can begin tolfee'd





 





Making Friends and Profits.





some nice bright hay. If the haygwas

out early it has the juice in it and

when the lamb chews this it tastes

good and makes the lamb grow faster

Clover hay is very rich in the things

that make flesh.and bone and muscle

and brawn.



The time may come when the lamt

can go out to pasture. If so, it is the

best way, for some folks do not like

lambs around the house. They getitt

be pretty familiar and make quite 1.

bit of trouble getting into places Where

they do not belong. If they do go tt

pasture with the other lambs and tht

Sheep. it is best to give them than





ration of milk every time. they comt

Marl vs. Limestone.



When we considered the abundance

of limestone we have at our command,

and the ease at which it‘can'be pre~

pared for use on the land, we are forc-

ed to consider ‘Whether or not marl





could compete at all with pulverized"





limestone. At this time the College of

Agriculture, through the Soil Exten-

sion Service, in cooperation with a

large manufacturing company, had





worked out a plan whereby farmers in

their own farms.

in this country. However, only a com~

paratively few farmers possessed out-

crops of suitable limestone. Many oth—

er farmers, on the other hand, were

located near good bed marl,

seemed that marl would be the cheaper

material to consider. Accordingly,

some of the best experts of this com-

pany were set to work on this propo-

sition, to devise some method and 3p

highest grade of marl was considered.

The greatest obstacle in the way was

the high- cost of drying. To reduce the

moisture content of even‘partially air-

dried material to dryness would con-

sume largeramounts of fuel (and now

all fuel is valued much higher). This

meant the evaporation of, about forty

per cent of moisture, or the equivalent

of an average of about eight hundred





‘ pounds of water for each ton of par-





tially air-dried marl: or in other words,

it meant the evaporation of more than

thirteen hundred pounds of water to





It is surprising how much mesiture is

It is not to be inferred that the wa-

ter in marl is poisonous, thus making

it imperative to get rid of it. Never-

theless, this water is injurious, not to

no farmer ,is keen in paying freight on

much water. ‘

We also considered the drying of

marl to a five- or ten per cent moisture

content, ‘for at this moisture content

a thing of the post.



Originally the plant at Dousman was.

erected for the manufacture of hydrnt-i

ed lime out of marl: but market and

other conditions prevented the compler

tion of the plans. This accounted for

the appearance of “Soil Tonic.” I vis-

ited the place, and was told by the

manager that'the marl bed there is

forty feet and more in depth, under—

neath a few feet: of peat. The marl

was scooped up with steam shovels

and conveyed to a huge, revolving and

heated cylinder through which it pass-f

ed in its drying process. From thence

the dried marl was conveyed to a; Pul—

verixing machine, then to storage





bins or it was sacked for the market.‘ '





It was an expensive process, and hence

the manufacture of “Soil Tonic” did

not long continue.



Local Use of Marl.





The attempt to make marl a com-v

mercial, soil-hupmvement product was

abandoned; but its local use as a soil.

tonic is still being encouraged, de-

pending upon conditions. If, on exam?

are producing milk at ten Cents an

want to have you delete conduct your

business in a businesslike ;way. Then

‘you will succeed.”





John C. Ketcham, Master of the





1 Michigan State Grange, gave a brief





address. Mr. Ketcham, who has been

on an extensive trip" through the New

England states, said: “Down in New

England where I have been the great

question the people are asking is what

they can do to bring back their agri-

culture. Shall we stand back and let

our agriculture go down the same way

as they have? The average wages paid

farm labor last year was $2.16 per day

and $56. 29 per month. Men in the cit-

ies today are drawing from $8.00 to $12

per day Whether you are operating

your own farm or hiring men, if you

look upon your business as a $2.16

proposition where are you going to

come out? Ninety per cent of the peo«

ple on our farms today are American

born,‘ and it you step into one or the

big cities what-do you find? Mighty

few of the people can understand the

English language. I am not saying

this to raise class prejudice, but I do

want to state” a few facts for you to

think over. And I want to say to you

that as we are standing here today

pleading, it is up to you to put over

your problems in the best way you

can."





. The following resolution was then

presented by Mr. Ketcham. and unani-

mously adopted:





Whereas, Michigan farm conditions

are most critical. The heavy removal

of people from the farms to the indus-

tlial centers owing to the attraction of

high wages, has seriously threatened

food production. Vacant farm houses,

abandoned farms and reduced acreage

is the report from all corners of the

state; and





Whereas, the residents of our cities

are Seemingly asleep to the conditions

that prevail in regard to food produc-

tion. Careless-ness, neglect, and even

open hostility toward farmers are all

too commonln the minds of many city

consumers. Many of our industrial

leaders have lost sight of the fact that

Michigan’s prestige as a manufactur-

ing center cannot be maintained un-

less those who produce food are like-

wise prosperous and progressive; and





Whereas, the Michigan Milk Produc-

ers' Association is especially concern-

ed over the impending crisis in this

important industry. Top prices in

feeds, and almost impossible labo1 con-

ditions are driving many men out of

the dairy business and unless immedi-

ate and drastic means are used to

counteract, we shall face in the sum-

mer months such a shortage of dairy

products that actual want, it not tam-

ine, may stalk through our city streets

and riot and ruin run their

course; and





Whereas, the Michigan Milk Produc-

ers’ Association would be recreant to

its duty to its members and to the con-

suming public did it not bend every

energy. to brin this critical situation

‘of the milk in ustry to the people of

the city and to invite their earnest co-

operation in avoiding disastrous con

sequences to all concerned. Assistance

must be given the dairymen to encour-

age increased production, to improve

the quality of their product, and to

guard against its contamination. City

consumers must be enlightened as to

the excellence of milk as a nutritive

and to its comparative cheapness when

its food value is considered;

for. April" 1. aloe shows that these





grains have wintered well under the

prevailing favorable weather condt

tions, although the production indicat-

ed is not asxlargs as that of last year.

The supply of farm labor is far short

of’tarm needs and much less than the

normal supply. However, the-demand





has not increased over last year, and, f"





it is Only slightly greater than normal,

for the reason that wages are higher

than most farmers can afford to pay.





. The majority. of farmers will do what





work is possible without hiring, so

that many farms will not be worked to

their full capacity and many will not





be worked. at all this year. This con-





dition will undoubtedly cause a reduc-

ed crop production in Michigan the

ear.

y Winter Wheat—The condition of

winter wheat is 86 per cent, or six per

cent less than on December 1, and nine

per cent below the condition of last

year’s crop on the corresponding date.

It is still three per cent better than

the ten-year average for April 1. There

Was a relatively heavy snow covering

throughout the winter, but on rolling

and hilly lands high winds caused the

snow to drift badly, leaving the tops

of hills bare. There was considerable

damage done last fall by the Hessian

fly in many southern counties. On the





‘whole, the crop is in a satisfactory con-





dition except in occasional localities.

March was unusually favorable for the

crop. ~

The estimated amount of wheat mar-

keted at mills and elevators in the

state during March is 514,000 bushels.

or a total of 10,362,000 bushels since

August 1, 1919.



e The outlook for the United States

is less flattering. as the condition is

only 75.6 per cent as compared with

99.8’ one year ago, and 84.1. the ten-

year average. This low condition com—

bined with the marked decrease in

acreage indicates a total winter wheat

crop of only 483.617.1100 bushels, as

compared with 731,836,000 bushels last

year. '



Rye—As is usual, rye shows a bet-

ter condition than wheat in the state.

being 92 .per cent as compared with 95

per cent on December 1; 96 per cent

one year ago, and a ten-year average

of 88 per cent. Practically no com-

plaint regarding the outlook for the

crop was received from any section.



Rye promises a total crop in the

United States of 75,841,000 bushels as

against 88,478,000 bushels last year,

the condition being 86.8 per cent. The

average one year ago was 90.6 per

cent: and the ten-year average, 89.0 per

cen . .



Breeding Bows—The usual inquiry

relative to the number of breeding

sows on farms shows that there are

three, percent less than last year an

five per cent less than the usual num-

ber.~ There was an increase immedi

ately followin ‘ the war, but the rela-

‘tively high p cc of feeds in c’ompari-

son with the price of pork has discour-

aged the increasing of herds and caus-

ed the seduction mentioned. The re-

duction- for the United States as a

whole is ten per cent.



LaborSupply and Demand.





‘The supply of labor on Michigan





' farms in only 80 per cent of that of





one year ago and 60 per cent of nor-

mal. Notwithstanding this marked

shortage, the demand is only about

equal to that of last year. The wages

are too high to warrant the hiring of

the amount of labor needed to fully

operate the farms. ‘



The supply for the United States as

a whole is 87.5 per cent of last year

and 72.4 per cent of normal, while the

demand, like the situation in Michigan,

is about the same as last year and only

slightly more than normal.

CONDUCTED BY DR. W. C. FAIR.





 





Lymph‘angitis.—-About two years ago

the hind leg of our seven-year-old mare

suddenly swelled. She was very lame.

I examined for snag or nail puncture

but failed to find any. We gave her

home remedies, she partially recover-

ed, but leg remained thick. Lately leg

became very tender, causing severe

lameness, but she has a good appetite,

and so far as I can tell, is not sick.

Will she ever be fit to do work? M. W.

S., East Tawas, Mich.——You make a

mistake in feeding her grain when she

is idle, and not being exercised. Fo-

ment leg with hot water three times a

day, dissolve quarter pound of acetate

of lead in one gallon of cold water,

shake and wet swollen parts three

times a day. i know of no very good

reason why she should not work every

day, after the tenderness leaves leg.





Acute indigestion—After about one

hour of sickness my fourteen-year-old

mare died, and I would like to know

the cause of death. I fed her ground

corn, chop feed and bran mash twice

a week. When she was sick she bloat-

ed, was in great pain, would lie down.

roll and tumble, get up, wall! in a cir-

cle. N. 8., Algonac, Mich.——Following

the attack of acute indigestion and

rapid formation of gas, and it being

unable to escape, or absorb the stom-

ach, diaphragm, or bowel ruptured, re-

sulting in death. Unless well equipped

with drugs and instruments and pos-

sessing knowledge how to treat a. case

of this kind. it is likely to prove fatal.

The wild hay you fed her was perhaps

of poor quality.



Feeding Question—Heifer Fails to

Come in Heat—Have been reading

veterinary column with much interest.

Would like to know whether it is all

right to feed ground rye and corn to

mare with foal?

that came fresh in November. The

calf was large, we had to help her.

was careful. she cleaned fine, showed

no bad effect. but has not yet come in

heat. What shall I do? A. W. B., East

Jordan, Mich.-—-Feeding brood mare

rye and corn will do her no harm, un-

less you give her too much, neglect to

keep bowels open, and exercise. Add





d some wheat bran, alfalfa or roots. Give





heifer a teaspoonful of ground capsi-

cum at a dose in feed twice daily. Feed

her stimulating food, and keep her

warm.



Partial Loss of P0wer.—-Can you tell

me what. to do for pigs that walk on

their knees? They are new four

months old, have been feeding corn,

cooked beans and potatoes. I might

add that these pigs are fat. B. M. 3..

Holly, Micthou have fed them too

much corn. Feed more oats, oil meal,

tankage, alfalfa and roots. As soon as

they are able to walk, give them walk:

ing exercise.





Worms—I have a one-year-old buck

that has a good appetite, but there

must be something wrong with him as

he seemingly refuses to lay on flesh.

Haveexamined him for ticks, but he

has only a few. ‘3. L. R, Henderson,

Mich—Keep all food away from him

for twenty-four hours, but let him have

all the water he will drink, give half

an ounce of gasoline, one ounce‘raw

linseed all (not boiled oil): and five

ounces of sweet milk. It is good prac-

tice to repeat this dosage for three

evenings. Of course, allow him food

five hours after giving the medicine.

In most cases the treatment should be

repeated tenor twelve days later. His

pen should be kept clean, the excre-

ment either burned or limed. '

Cut DoWn





Your Cost





A number of the most successful dairymen

testified before the Federal Milk Commission, . .’

which has been fixing the price of milk from .

the producer to the consumer, that they had

cut down their costs of production by feeding

Corn Gluten Feed and wheat bran freely

in grain rations they mixed themselves.





The Commission must have been convinced

by what these representative good dairymen

had to say about different feeds and the econ-

omy of a man’s mixing up his own rations.





 





 





The Feed that makes the Yield





For, in arriving at the price it thought the dairy-





man ought to get for his milk, the Commission based

its calculations on home-mixed rations in which Corn

Gluten Feed was a principal basic ingredient.

power means best threshing results.





You can always depend upon the thresher-

outfit includes a Nichols-Shepard “Red

GRAND RAPIDS





Milling companies this week advanc—.

ed the paying price of wheat 15c per

bushel, to $2.55 for No. 1 red and

$2.53 for No. 1 white. Potatoes are

very scarce and jobbers’ price is $5

per bushel. Only one car was shipped

in during the week. A ’few small

loads were brought to the city market

by farmers who sold at $4.25 per bush-

el for. ungraded. Jobbers who special-

ize in potatoes state that the most ser-

10118 feature of the situation is the.

scarcity of seed. Tempted by high

prices many farmers sold out en-

tirely, depending on picking up No. 2

stock from their neighbors~ for plant-

ing. They now find their neighbors

have been doing the same, thing. Some

varieties of seed potatoes are now $7

per bushel.‘ Friday wholesale dealers

in beans advanced the price to grow-

ers to $6.25 per cwt. for Michigan pea

and $11 for! red kidneys. .irThey size

up the situation for the forthcoming

crop as follows: Californta, and'New

York will plant less acreage and it

will be uprvt'o Michigan to furnish, the

crop. ( ‘ ‘ ' _' ‘4

CORN BEEF CATTLE TO GO TO

‘ ’ ‘ URUGUAY. .





U3UAYAN buyers were portly

responsible for the success of the

recent short-born cattle sale at Ohio:-

36. averaging more than $1,000 per

head. and they took 150 head to Mon-

tevideo for breeding, selecting them

entirely on merit, with little regard for

pedigree.



Hemtotom, the English and Scottish

breeders have monopolixed this trade,

Argentina and Chile having sent many

million dollars to them for pedigreed

cattle. 11111 Murdo McKenzie, whoop-

ganized the'Sao Paulo Cattle ('30., of

Brazil, is of the opinion that by co-

operative effort at least fifty per cent

of purebred cattle and hogs could be

secured in the United States.”





NOTIFY BUYERS OF STOCK.

WHEN selling hatching eggs or

breeding stock it pays to notify

a. buyer of the date on which the eggs

01' birds have been shipped. This only

costs the price at a postal card and a

stamp. It enables the buyer to be pre-

pared to receive the eggs or birds and

may enable him to save at least one

. trip to the express office by combining

the trip with other errands.

A postal card similar to the follow-





ing may be used:

X Station, 10 20-1918.

Dear Sir:—





Your valued order of 10-12—18 for two





1 ' cockerels was shipped by express to-





day.



I trust that the order will meet with

your_ approval and that we may serve

you in the future.

, VERY motorist remem—

‘ bers how it was with his

’ first car. If he heard



;'the slightest unfamiliar noise-

5 a piston slap or a buzzing gear

2' or a creak in the body—it was

3 a serious matter. His friends

i were always ready with some





, helpful advice.





But the only time his tires

*ever made a noise was when

i he had 'a blowout“





Then everybody laughed.





The owner generally put on

a new tire, paid his losses

cheerfully and tried again.

For years the irresponsible

tire dealer traded on the good

nature of American motorists.





His idea of business was to

Sell a man two tires to replace





 





Every time a tire is left standing in a

puddle of water, the tiniest hole is

likely to let enough water through to

loosen the fabric, separating it from

the tread and_ allowing sand and

gravel to Work in.





Go over your tires carefully every

:01» and then and seal every cut or

with the thought that after all

motoring is a “great game.”





Even today not one motorist

in five is getting what he is

entitled to in tires.





More- and more the motor—

ists of this country are learning

that the remedy for high tire

costs lies in better: tires—not

more tires.



And that getting better tires

means first of all going to the

legitimate dealer — the. man





who sells the known article A g,





 





, and who does not attempt to





substitute the unnamed or the

unknown for the sake of more

profits.



Since the beginning the

United States 'Rubber Como

pany has been looking forward

to the time when motorists





everyWhere would come to





quality in tires.





Building more tires every »





year, ’but never more . than it

could build in conformity with





the highest standard of quality.





.The responsible tire dealer





never refers to his business as a

game. It is a business proposition

with him—and he knows the
