ONE YEAR $1.00 HY}? YEARS 33.00 p 'N’otch By the systematic growing of clover or other leguminous crops in short ro- tations, the feeding of the larger part of the produce of the farm to live stock, and the intelligent saving and use of manure, it is possible and prac— ticable not only fully to maintain but to increase the nitrogen content of the soil, and to maintain the supply of potassium with but small additions from outside. With lime and phos- phorus, however, the case is different, for these elements are constantly be- ing carried away, not only in the grains sold off the farm, but to an equal or greater extent in the bones or milk of live stock; hence restitution from out- side the farm must be made if its fer- tility' is to be maintained. Partial restitution of phosphorus may be made by the purchase of feed- ing studs, especially linseed and cot- tonseed oil meals and wheat bran, but unless the soil has been largely deriv- ed from limestones the amount of lime recovered in such feeding stuffs will be too small to cut any figure. A ton of old process linseed oil meal, for example, will contain only about nine pounds of lime, and a ton of cotton— seed oil meal about six pounds, where- as experience has shown that an an- nual dressing of at least two hundred pounds of lime per acre may be neces- sary to sweeten an acid soil.

NUMBER NINE’I‘EEN DETROIT, MAY 8, 1920 CURRENT COMMENT ()THING is more evident than the WageScales fact that the people and of this country, in Living Costs common with the peo- ple of most other countries, are finding it difficult to ad— just themselves to the changed eco- nomic and industrial conditions to- ward which we have been heading for a. decade, and which have been so sharply accentuated by the great war which has stirred the entire world to its social and economic foundations. The diversion of our industries to war production, together with the inevita- ble effect of currency inflation in con- nection with the lessened production of staples, sent prices» upward at a ter- rific rate, thus rapidly pyramiding liv- ing costs, which in turn were neces~ sarily met by increased wage scales all along the line. But the advance in wage scales was uneven, depending upon the necessities of the case in war production or the possible profits resulting from the operation of com- mercial industries. As a result a very considerable proportion of workmen who were engaged in industries which could 'pass on a greatly increased wage scale to the ultimate purchaser of their products, found themselves enjoying incomes which were far be- yond their wildest dreams of former days. Arid these quickly swollen in- comes were ve1y 1ar gely expended in the purchase of luxuries to satisfy a previously inhibited taste or ambition. This very natural consequence in turn became the cause of further increases in the price of goods and of a greater degree of unrest among workers not in this first favored class, resulting in increased wage demands all along the line, and a corresponding increase in strikes and walk-outs, with the same consequence of lessened production and still further increases in living costs. In the matter of wage demands, competition has been keen. During the earlier stages of this general up- ward movement the then high wages commanded by skilled men in certain trades was the general goal .toward which other workers were striving, and the most common wage demand where any degree of skill is involved was for a scale of a dollar an hour. Naturally enough the classes of skilled work- men who were first fortunate enough to achieve that wage scale sought to maintain their lead, and now many . wage . $1.50 1181' Wood who .efurthcr W wmyi‘ or all. ~11 admitted! In attempts to stay the rising tide. " of prices, the government has advor— ._ tised various onslaughts on profltoers, which in the main have apparently" been dissipated in attempts to force down the price of milk, which of all essential foodstuffs has advanced least during the past two years. But while attempting to force down the price of this food commodity under a war measure, the lid of price control has been lifted from other commodi- ties and other necessities for which the farmers .of the country furnished the raw material have soared in price in the hands of others, sugar being a notable case. Quite naturally the average man’s first thought is of cheaper foodstuffs when he considers the possibility of lower living costs. The highly paid but dissatisfied workman does not, for the most part, think of foodstuffs in terms of labor, plus interest on invest— ment, taxes and overhead charges which are essential factors in farm as well as factory produ‘ction. Too often city business men are just as faulty in their analyses, and the editors of city papers more generally so. But it has become so apparent that increased wage scales will not solve the problem, but rather aggravate it in the end by drawing still more labor from the farms, that. more thinking men of all classes are beginning to see the problem in its true light. And there is little doubt that the more thorough organization of farmers through the Farm Bureau movement is aiding them to see it more clearly. If farmers as a class should “strike” for the short hours and high wage scales demanded by men in less “skilled" employment, the result would spell disaster. Their products, interpreted in terms of such a. wage scale would take the joy out of metro- politan life. Thanks to the good sense of our American farmers they are con- templating no such move. What they are demanding is an honest day’s work for a fair day’s pay all along the line, which would increaseproduction in other lines and add to the nation’s as well as their own prosperity. Un- less the good sense of American work- men prevails in this regard, the in~ evitablo result must be an evening up of the scale by a marked shrinkage in agricultural production and a. further increase in living costs due to a. scarc- ity of foodstuffs. Again we repeat an oft reiterated statement: High wage scales and cheap foodstuffs cannot long be coex- istent. Price levels will in the end be evened up by the operation of natural laws, if extreme variations cannot be avoided by other means. NUSUALLY low temperatures and Sced Time a heavy precipitation and of moisture during Harvest the month of April are 801118 to be responsi- ble for greatly reducing the capacity of our farmers to produce food crops by forcing the sowing and planting of fields beyond the dates when the seeds should go into the ground, and by bringing the heavy tasks of the sea- son, cultivating, haying and harvest: ing so close together that it will be impossible to properly perform them with the present very limited supply of available help. By reason of this probable decrease due to unsoumblo weather in addition to what had al- randy been anticipated because of one shortage of fun: labor the is acreage devoted to crops if there ex- To the fin of rendering aid at the crucial soabOn we suggest that county farm bureaus, farm organizations, or agricultural agents at once take up with local manufacturing'and indus- trial concerns the matter of securing needed help for the farmers when har- vesting time comes. If, as we believe, a large percentage of our business men will appreciate the situation and coop: erate, there is bound to come a bone- fit to both through aleviating or per- haps averting a national calamity and in making it possible for the farmer to piofit more from his ac1es. About Beans HE Michigan white bean has es- tablished itself with the consum- er, but so many consumers do not know beans that this favorite gets its jolts in the market because of its near relations .who masquerade under its reputation. {imitation is the sincerest flattery” might well be said also of foodstuffs like beans and butter. The products of the Orient and the beans of the western coast country are the main competitors and compete unfairly in quality. The collapse of the bean market in Michigan in 1919 and 1920 is generally ascribed to “futures” be— ing sold and the importations of “Asi- atics” to make these "bear” prices afford a profit on the imported stock at the expense of the Michigan-grown beans. In addition to the actual weight of beans put on the market the import- ed stock left a. bad taste in the mouths ‘ of the bean eaters, who turned to oth- er foods and beans were neglected as a. food, although of comparative cheap- ness, as compared especially to pota- toes. The damage comes, (1) from future sales; (2) from Asiatic impor- tations; (3) from the inferiority of the imported stocks which deflected con- sumers from beans as a food. The first remedy for years for commercial or food dislocations is the tariff and a trip to the national capital for addi— tional protection. Whatever one’s opin- ion may be about the tariff it is a. political impossibility for the crop of 1920, as it was for the Michigan bean crop of 1919. There are, however, oth- er plans more promising of maintain- ing the merits of Michigan beans and to hold the markets which those mer- its demand. One method would be a law compelling all canned stocks to be labeled as to the contents, where grown. The trade would then know what they were buying. In the ab- sence of such a law an , agreement through the recognized channels of the bean trade whereby reputable can— ners and those only, would be sold Michigan beans and the cans would feature the Michigan brand. 5-.An ad- vertising campaign would 'tell who were canners of Michigan stocks and quite effectively bar unfair competi~ tion of the “bear” canners’ who threat- en or do import the inferior or cheap- - inprico or quality. of trade protection in the handling '91 stocks as merchandise instead of for gunning offers more dif- ficulty.

They the agricultural interests of ’ to- profession, to paint a true picture of the most approved modern methods, day, and ,the chances are he will tell you of the constantly increasing ex- odus. from the farm of our most pro- gressive boys and girls. Dollar-an-hour factory wages are proving an all too efllcient lure to draw the younger gen- eration from the country, and it re- quires but scant foresight to picture the catastrophe which will inevitably follow a long-continued trend in this direction. _ And it is not money alone which has made the city so dangerously attrac- tive. More available amusement facil- ities and multiplied social opportuni- ties have played their part in building the city’s appeal; while the most im- portant factor of all has been that the business life of the commercial world has made a greater appeal to the imagination than has the work of the farm. ‘ In 'the past much has 'been said of the romance of the industrial worldv— little has been’ told about the farm. Thrilling life stories of the great “cap- tains of industry” are familiar read— ing, finding their way even into the text books of our schools; but how seldom have the brilliant. successes of our great agricultural leaders been considered worth the telling. The messenger boy grows up to be a bank director; the section hand becomes president of the road; but what hap- pensto the young man who stays on the old home place? This, unfortu- nately, has too often been the way in which our farm boys and girls have been led to look at the whole question of their life work. -While the mystery and romantic possibilities of work in the city~have been thoroughly advertised, the case 'of the farm has been but poorly pre- sented at best. It is only within very recent years that effort has been made country life, and to show that “play- ing the game” in agricultural work re- quires just as much ability and offers fully as great chances for unusual re- ward to the successful, as does any other field of industry. Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs Take Active 7 Part. Last year an army of more than twenty thousand boys and girls of Michigan were actively engaged in the and are finding that big things may be accomplished in the work. Through personal contact with successful oper- ations they are getting the vision of scientific agriculture, and are learning that the farm (instead of offering merely the monotonous, hum-drum ex» istence so often thought of), presents a field which challenges their best ef- forts and holds forth promise of rich return. Upper Peninsula Boys Clearing Land great fight against the “away-from-the- farm” movement. Enrolled under the statewide Boys’ and Girls’ Club or- ganization, these progressive members of the younger generation are prepar— ing for the leadership of agricultural work in the state. They are the hope of the future—~those who will carry the standards of country life in the years to come. These club members are learning Before they Can Start their Gardens. Five Hundred Dollar Profit to the Acre. When John Robertson, of Eben Junction, Alger county, raised three hundred and thirty¥one bushels of po— tatoes from an acre of land last sum— mer and sold his crop for $612, realiz- ing a net profit of $509.39, he accom- plished the unusual.

Nevertheless, Rob- ertson’s record proved that. prOper methods can return unusual produc— tion. His acre of potatoes set a goal for others to striVe for, and pointed out the way toward a higher average yield in the whole state. Darwin Baker, a garden club mem- ber in Lansing, turned a net profit last summer of $375 30 from four“ acres oi? garden land, sliou ing that the city boy need not be left out 01' consideration when “crops” are up for discussion. Such records as these boys made in 1919 bring a healthful element of com— petition into farm work. History of Michigan Club ‘Nork. Boys’ and Girls’ Club mic" is com— paratively, new in Michigan. E. U. Lindemann, the first statenride leader, took oIlice in 1913, while the first club leader for girls, Miss Anna ("ow‘iea did not. start her work until 181.}. And yet in these few yeais the club movement. grew and spread until, as has: already been mentioned, twenty thousand boys and girls were actively reggaged in. projects during 1919. The leaders oi.‘ the club part of the extension stall“ o: the state agricultural college, and the; efforts are sometimes known as “junior” exp tension work. Ray 13. Turner, state. leader, has five. associates or. the state— wide stat‘f, including two (ilril'li‘t lead- ers for the upper peninsula. There are ten county leaders who devote their full time to the work, and thirty— nine additional county leaders who spend only the summer months in club work. In addition to these heads of organization. more than fifteen hun- dred volunteer local leaders round out the organization, which reaches prac— tically every one of the eighty-three counties in the state. The influence of club \x‘ork. w ork are is not at the college,i_ 'b‘ers. Projects carried out by the clubs in any community set their stamp. . upon the whole neighborhood and serve to stimulate interest in pro-’ gressive‘ agricultural work. In this way great numbers of boys and girls come under the influence of organized clubs, even though they never actually sign up. Then, too, a constantly chang- ing membership brings club work to an ever growing circle of young people. Michigan Ranks High.Among States.

A definite program of action is worked out, and an expert director employed. William G. Eckhardt, for eight years Farm Adviser of DeKalb county, will direct the grain marketing work. Be- cause there will be more money to use than the original budget of $333,- 000, the appropriation for this com- mittee has been extended from 515.0% to $65,000. This department is now on the same basis with the Live Stock Marketing Department, directed by Prof H. W. Mumford. SUMMER PROGRAM OF THE NEW YORK FARM BUREAU. FARM Bureau managers of western New York have recently held a conference in Rochester to lay out plans for the summer season. As one result there will be fifty home labor- saving demonstrations held in June and July, givmg attention to electric light systems, pumping and water sys- tems and other facilities that make easier the work of farmers’ wives. . Better dairy cows, general improve- ment of the herds, elimination of slack- er cows and the general remedy for raising the average of the dairy cow’s production, both in milk and butter- fat, were discussed. Probably the longest and most important steps to- ward such an end is the slaughter of grade bulls and the substitution of the thoroughbred sire. Persistence in' such a course could have but one general direction, that of bettering the herd. Spraying was one of the principal topics of discussion: Professor C. R. Crosby, of the Department of Ento- mology, New York State College of Agriculture, presented this subject. The departments of entomology and pathology are cooperating with the bu. reaus in conducting a spraying service for the control of plant diseases and insects. The college has stationed a special field assistant in each county where, fruit is an important crop.

Under normal conditions Professor Rees would advo‘ cate the pulling out of girdled trees under four years of age. “This year, however,” he said, "due to scarcity and the high prices of nur- sery stock I am advocating the cutting off of the trees just below the girdle and then cleft-grafting, using four or five-inch scions. Trees more than four years of age should be bridge-grafted. Scions for bridge-grafting should be his products as the manufacturer and Hoover pointed this out.

Michigan, May 19. This action growers of Benzie, Manisteo and In the past there has frequently been conflict between the grow- ers of these three states in the marketing of their products and as this condition has been disastrous to all, the Michigan growers got in touch with those of the other two states and found sentiment ripe for cooperation. In the formation of better marketing arrangements of Michigan cherries, the Michigan State Farm Bureau has been asked to take an active part and’ it is possible that in the near ‘future more sentatives of the Cadillac Potato Growers’ Exchange and theFmit Growers' Exchange will be called together to consider plans at assisting in this movement. The cherry crop in Michigan t his year has excellent prospects. Estimates of the crop of the leading Michigan cherry counties for this year are as follows: Grand Traverse, 175,000 cases; Bennie, 100,000 cases; Manistee, 30,000 cases; Mason, 30,000 cases; 40,000 cases. Oceans, 40,000 cases; Antrim, cut at ronce and the work be done shortly after growth starts." FARMERS COULD GET LABOR IF ASSURED OF GOOD PRICES. NO laborer is going to work on the farm if as a whole he sees higher wages and more important advantages in town. We can’t intelligently ask him to donate anything to the farmer, nor much to food production. There is no use begging labor to stay on the farm, and that is not the idea. Neith- er is there any use in begging farmers to produce more food so we can buy it cheap. The farmer will produce a plenty, is in the business for that very purpose, if he can see how he can do it with profit. We can't ask him to do it oth- erwise. You can’t beg or drive any- body back to the farm, nor do we want to do '50.

HE New York State Experiment Station, through Assistant Botan- " let M. T. Moon, is warning growers throughout the state to be on the alert for inferior "seed and suggests that the farm bureau oflice be consulted in case of doubt. The warning is as tollowsf "last spring the county agent in each county rendered valuable service by warning farmers against purchas- ing seeds from certain mail order seed houses located in the middle west that offered inferior seed for sale in this state. Again this season these houses and possibly some others are contin- uing this kind of deceptive business. They are quoting alluring prices and sending advertising samples to New York farmers. They are doing busi- ness under the freedom of interstate commerce and are immune to the op- eration of New York state laws." “From the very nature of'the cases, substantiated by analyses/of the seeds in our seed laboratory, we feel that every farmer should be warned against being taken in by such misrepresenta- tions.

Balancing Plant Food increases Gro ICHIGAN is On‘epf the import- D/l ant fruit states in the country. The year just passed over, six milion bushels of apples were grown, making it rank as the sixth state, from .point of total apple production in the country. However, the production per tree was not as satisfactory. Accord— ing to the lastmens’us, more than sevo en million apple trees of bearing age in Michigan produced about twelve million bushels of fruit, only a little more than a bushel and a half a tree. Of course, most of the bearing trees produced much more, but the many producing just a few or none at all, brought the average yield down. The answer is, better care of the trees which are now producing good yields, in order "to get even larger yields, and complete renovation of the orchards which are run dovv‘n. Prun- ing, spraying, and proper cultural _ methods, and sufficient plant food in the orchard are all essential. It is one phase of the latter which will be treated here. The need for plenty of plant food in the orchard is one of« the essentials which has been greatly overlooked. A properly balanced ration is as neces- sary, for the apple and peach and small fruit as it is for an. animal. It is this which produces the bearing wood, and hence the fruit and quality of the fruit is also dependent upon this. Proper must be kept between the amount of plant food elements obtain- ed by the leaves frOm the air, and thoseobtained by the roots from the soil, in order to get the large, attrac- tively colored and deliciously tasting And if plant food is not present in sufficient-quantities in the soil, the roots can not get it- An Extra Hundred Dollars Per Acre. The Ohio Experiment Station some years ago undertook constructive work on run-down orchards in southeastern Ohio. The yield in practically every case was increased and insome cases was multiplied byras much as ten. The financial gain from this work was of: ten in excess of one hundred dollars per acre per year. Prefessor F. H. Ballou, in charge of the work, makes the following statements regarding the results obtained: , ,wth. Tothe soil .on the Left Ammonia and Phosphoric Acid were Added,-While_to that on the Right Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid and Potash _were App-lied. Fertilizing the Orchard ,juvenated. And all these hitherto un- (West Virginia Exp. Sta.) "It is not in terms of dollars and cents that we can measure the results of those object lessons in profitable fruit production on the formerly bar- ren little farms among the hills of southern Ohio. Farm mortgages have been cancelled. New homes have been erected or old ones remodeled and made comfortable and convenient. Boys and girls have been sent to col- lege, who previously had not the least hope of enjOying such a privilege. New and sturdy teams of horses have replaced the others less strong and pleasing in appearance. Country life and interests have been entirely re- anticipated, undreamed-of blessings have been showered, from formerly neglected, abandoned apple orchards merely existing on thin-soiled, weed- covered or. closely pastured hillslopes and crests.” As good results are possible in Mich- igan orchards. Plant Food Controls Wood Growth. The kind, form and amount of plant food available for the use‘ of the plant controls wood growth. Wherever one of the essential plant foods is lacking, that is—present in unavailable form or in' insufficient amounts-satisfac- tory growth of bearing wood is impos- sible. \Vith fruits, as well as with all other crops, each of the three essen- tial plant foods has a specific function. Ammonia is the stem and leaf pro- ducer. It makes new wood, and gives to the foliage the healthy green color which by experience we associate with thriftiness and vigor. Phosphoric acid hastens maturity and increases production of fruit. This is seen on corn, is seen on wheat, and is equally apparent, although of. tentimes more important, on fruit trees. ‘ Potash strengthens wood growth. It also aids in producing healthy, disease- resistant growth, the kind which al- lows the production of quality fruits. Plant Food Must be Balanced. As mentioned earlier, the plant food must be balanced. The best fertility practice is that which grows enough wood for a full set of fruit, but which also controls the growth, ripens it in time to prevent winter killing, and ~51} oblem HE grave problem confronting the serious-minded men in the petroleum industry today, is to keep pace in production with the seven-league strides of the demand for gasoline. 'In ten years the production of crude oil in the United States has increased only 96 per cent, while during the same period the output of gasoline has in- creased 560 per cent. The demand for no other commodity in general, use has increased to a degree that even approximates the mark reached by gasoline. In ten years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased its output or gasoline from 150 million gallons to more than 600 million gallons a year. It is apparent that this could not have been accomplished except by intensive application of improved, scientific meth- ods of refining. As a matter of fact, the price of gasoline is held in bounds only by the sheer force of selence. Except for the ability of such institu- tions as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make a wide range of useful products from that part of the crude oil which is not used to make gasoline... you would be paying a much higher} price for gasoline than you pay today.§ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is bending every effort to increase its output of gasoline to meet the demands and to” sell it to you at- as low a price as possible.” (Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.

EDERAL highway construction is coming to the front as a highly important question in the minds of many farmers and representatives of farm organizations. I find, however, that there is a difference of opinion as to just what part of the good roads ‘program should be undertaken by the national government. There are a number of highway im- provement propositions before con- gress, but the Townsend bill is appar- ently the only one that is just now being seriously considered. This bill has been recently redrat‘ted, and Sena- tor Townsend is evidently desirous that it shall be the foundation legis- lation for the establishing of a practi- cable system of permanent federal highways that will serve to the best advantage all the people of this country. Under the Townsend bill the high- ways are to be constructed and main- tained wholly by the federal govern- ment without state or local aid. They are to give ingress and egress at three points in every state. It is further provided that if these three points of ingress and egress do not give each state its proportion of federal aid, ad- ditional roads may be constructed. Two years will be spent in laying out the national system, and the govern- ment road builders, it is expected, will cooperate with the. state and road authorities with the ultimate plan in View of a great network of high- ways connecting the larger cities, 21 state road system connecting the smaller cities and towns with the gov. ernment roads and country roads con- necting the remote farming communi- ties with the state highways. The federal highway council belives that “it is the duty of the government to take over about 60,000 miles of the main highways to construct and re- build, where necessary, as a national system, the states to take over about 240,000 miles as a main state system and the counties to take over some 300,000 miles of market county roads, making a system of 600,000 miles of which between 200,000 and 250,000 miles have been improved, leaving be- »tween 300,000 and 350,000 to be im- proved." The council is advocating the creation of a federal highway com- mission of five members, selected geographically, with authority to take over the present highway activities'of the United States Department of Agri- culture in cooperation with the states in the expenditure of present and fu- ture appropriations for federal aid. Prof. T. C. Atkeson, Washington rep- resentativ'e of the National while favorably impressed with the purpose and main provisions of the Townsend bill, stands with the Na- tional Grange in its public highway policy, as presented in these resolu- tions adopted at the last session “The present and potential develop‘ ment of high power motor trucks and. a highspeed paSsenger cars practically ' Irmvolutionizes the highway conditions and necessities at this country, and local - Grange, _ we believe the time has come when all the national government activities should be unified in a single adminis- trative department, under such limita- tion of powers as will secure the great- est possible degree of efliciency and economy in the expenditure of national funds. , “In view of the large number of bills which'have been introduced in the last two or three congresses, and of the failure of all the activities and organi- zations interested in the promotion of highway development and construc- tion to agree upon the details of leg- islation, we deem it inadvisable to ap prove any specific “bill” at this time. We favor the working out of a nation- al highway law that will best serve the welfare of the whole country and distribute the expense of highway con- struction equitably between the bone- ficiaries. National Grange instructs its authorized representatives to assist in perfecting a law of this character in accord with the needs of agriculture. “For the present and until such time as experience may demonstrate some better plan, we favor the continuance of the present cooperative plan be- tween the national governmentand the several states, with the primary pur- pose of connecting farms of the coun- try with. market towns, railway and water transportation points, with in creasing use of federal funds for that purpose.” There Will be hearings on the revis- ed Townsend bill, soon, at which time there will no doubt be much informa- tion presented which will show the necessity for federal aid in highway construction, and the development of a system that will meet the demands of all classes. Congressman John M. Beer, of North Dakota, has introduced a bill in the house to prevent gambling in the neo- essaries of life and speculation in stocks and bonds. It is known as the Anti-speculation Act, and provides that no person or persons shall buy or sell any necessary unless it is the in- tention to effect actual delivery of such necessary. The term necessary in- cludes any product or by-product which is to be manufactured into food for human beings, domestic animals or poultry, fuel, wearing apparel, or other commodity necessary to life. No per- son is allowed to obtain a loan from' any bank which is a member of the federal reserve system, nor shall such bank lend in any manner, any money or credit with which to speculate in necessaries. provisions of this act are punishable b‘y a fine of not more than $3,000 or by imprisonment of not more than three years, or both for the first offense, and a fine of not more than $5,000 or im- prisonment for five years, or both, for each succeeding offense.

As a flayer of profiteers, Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, has few equals. Speaking on the high cost ,of living, the other day, Senator Capper said that “strikes and industrial disor— der have come as the result of ranr pant, long-continued and unrestricted profiteering. No‘county can be enrich- ed by the gouge process. Our delusion of prosperity continues, but our busi- ness is declining as might be expected. Prices for American products have in‘ creased to such an extent that both the home and foreign markets are fail- ing us. The extent to which the peo- ple have been bled by war and extor. tion is almost unbelievable. And at this moment the most brazen chal~ lenge we have had in the saturnalia of greed comes from the gamblers in sug- ar. A corner has etldently been form- ed right under the eyes of the Depart- ment of Justice. The canning season raid is on. For years the sugar inter- ests have annually and openly and shamelessly robbed American house- wives during the calming season." Senator Capper quoted recent gov- ernment reports showing that 791624 American corporations, many of which have stockholders who are dodging the income tax through stock dividends, averaged gross profits of more than $500,000,000 each in a single year. In just one year during the War the gross income of American corporations rose from thirty-five and one-third billions to eighty~four and a half billions. “Do you suppose,” he continued, “that peo- ple who pinch, scrimp, and are being forced to do without many things they need in order that we may double the number of prewar millionaires, thrill with patriotic ferver when they read a lesson on thrift and one hundred per cent Americanism from one of these one thousand per cent tax-dodging grandstanders ?” Ample laws exist to check profiteer— ing, according to Senator Capper, and if the law enforcement officers of the government cannot enforce the law he thought they should resign. Endorsing Senator Capper's denun~ ciation of profiteers, Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, said the Department of Justice was “Setting a few mousetraps around the country when it ought to be setting hear traps ” There is a decided reeling in con- , gross that the government through its inactivity is largely responsible for the present hold-up and high price of sug- ar. and it is believed that only dras- tic measures promotly put in force will provont the people being compell- _edtomflommeo 101%: cents a modem ‘ ‘-._.J‘*°n°gd- .. . ’ GREAT‘many articlgeishdrave' been written advisinglthetarmer how to reduce the" numberof bacte— ria in milk to the-minimum, but 'most of the meth'odS3Were so complicated and expensive that the ordinary farm. or has paid very" little attention to them. There are, however, many sim- ple methods of Sanitation whiCh any farmer can apply; that will aid greatly in decreasing count as well as making things more pleasant and4profitable for himself. There .is -no dairy in the country whose efficiency ‘in producing clean milk cannot be raised to a standard far above that of the present time. Some farms are far beyond redemp tion, but on the main dairy farms, whether those of small farmer class, with a herd of a dozen cows or less. or a score of cows, are capable of. a great improvement and this is of sim- ple and inexpenSive means. The very fact that milk is a food, not only for infants but for grown peo- ple as well, will suggest to every man that the rules of ’cleanliness are far below what they should be. The need of cleanly precautions is increased be- cause milk has a. peculiarly active capacity for absorbing all odors, and is a very favorable medium for the growth and development of disease Cows Kept Under Sanitary Conditions Produce Clean Milk. bacteria, its color and taste are by no means an indication of its quality. The number of bacteria which con- taminate the milk at. milking time vary immensely with the conditions of the stable. If milking takes place immedi- ately after feeding and cleaning the stable the number of bacteria from this source is very high. Fresh air out-of—doors does not contain many bacteria and if milking could take place in the open, free air, this source of contamination would be almost ex- cluded. Milk is the only article of food in/ which nearly all bacteria grow rapidly, and in it they multiply in an almost incredible manner. ‘From a single germ as many as two hundred may be produced in three hours, ten thousand in six hours, and two million in eight- een» hours, and as the bacteria grow 'and increase in number they impair the nutritive value of the milk, and; produce new substances which in many cases are poisonous. In order to produce better milk we must improve our sanitary conditions.

A 'soft and muddy surface should be drained, thepools filled in, and a new surface made with some available material at moderate cost, such as crushed stone, gravel or cinders. . ‘ The sanitary conditions must travel from the yards on down the path to the stable. It would :be of no value to have a clean yard without a sanitary stable, when the farmer, on the ap- proach of winter, puts his herd indoors stormy weather, he exposes them to danger hardly less fatal. buildings which may be described as a cow barn is constructed to suit the needs of the dairy cattle, in a majority of instances the winter quarters are a. combination structure used for feed stbrage, horse stable, wagon shedfand general rubbish disposal, and generally the herd will be allotted the basement or ground floor beneath a low, dirty ceiling, with scanty window space and poor ventilation, keeping in circulation the foul, air for months. Inside the barn the manure is the common source of contamination. The sight of a dairy cow with manure flanks is- so common that it has come to be accepted as the distinction badge of a dairy animal. It denotes neglect and shameful laziness on the part of the animals’ keeper and the man who stands by and watches the noxious stuff thicken day by day, is unfit to associate with the dairy cow. It is accepted that if; an animal is dirty, the keeper, and not the animal, is to blame. In summer when she is pastured and at liberty to follow her own devices, she can select her own bed, and it is a clean one: she uses the brush for a comb, and water pro- vided by nature and aided by her tongue, washes and grooms her own body, keeping it free from bacteria. The milker should take all possible: sanitary measures as well as forcing them on the ,cow. Before milking he should thoroughly wash his hands and arms in warm water well supplied with soap, dress in special jacket and cap. in order to avoid all dusting, and dis- tributing of undesirable organisms. Before beginning to milk. the milker should wipe ed the teats with a towel, which should be kept in the pocket 'of the jacket at milking time. The milker should be. careful not to handle a dirty milking stool, wipe the udder or teats, or brush the side of the animal with the naked. hand. .The practice of lean-‘ should be abandoned,_ and the. prac- tice,-o£ using covered milk pails should be encouraged.‘.‘ , ' ' , Even if the - WWW: NEW WAYof Heatin 3 cellarless Houses .333 “Complete outfit of Hot Water Heat $I3l The outfit consists of an IDEAL-Arcola Radiator-Boiler and 4, 5. or 6 AMERICAN Radiators and Special Expansion Tank—- everything except labor. pipe and fittin s, which any local dealer will supply. e prices below for various sizes of outfits. s l l ' \ lg“ ‘ l" Here is the greatest comfort for farm life offered to you at prewar price.

Buell ORE of our readers will want to know what a good-looking fellow the executive board of the Michigan State Farm, Bureau selected to head the biggest cooperative business en- terprise. ever undertaken in the coun- try. Here he is——-Mr. Dorr D. Buell. He has very successfully guided the Michigan Potato Growers’ Exchange through two seasons of unusually big business. He depends upon good rea~ son and diplomacy to get results rath- er than upon bluff or force. He takes things as they are, looks matters over calmly, gathers all facts in the case, hears whoever wants to speak, and then tries, and usually succeeds, in giving a square deal to all concerned. face a one billion dollar increase in their annual sugar bill. It has been shown at the hearings that in August and September last the Sugar Equalization Board recommends ed to the President the purchase of the Cuban crop of 1919, as had been done in the case of the 1918 crop. It was said that the Cuban crop could be lpurchased for six and a half cents a pound' at that time, a price which would have permitted the sale of sug- ar in the United States at eleven or twelve cents a pound retail. The Pres- ident withheld this approval and in November when sugar was selling at retail at ten cents a pound, the attor— ney-general concurred in a price of seventeen and eighteen cents at the plantations for Louisiana sugar. The effect of this action was to advance the Cuban sugar price from six and one-half to eleven cents a pound and it has since goue to eighteen cents. A conference between representatives of the big refineries has been held, but with little results, so far as I' have been able to discover. Secretary of Agriculture Meredith is appealing to business men and col» lege students to spend their vacations working on farms. He says carefully compiled reports to the department in- dicate that the supply of farm labor is only seventy-two per cent of normal, compared with eighty-four per cent last year, notwithstanding an increase of twenty-five per cent in wages. The National Forest Reservation Commission, composed of the secretar- . tea or Agriculture, interior and war, and four members of congress, recom- mends the purchase by the govern- ment of land. in the eastern mountain districts not suitable for agriculture to ' the extent or thirty million acres, and that they be used for growing timber. - 5 - The government new o'wns one 112111111111. ”eight W thousand acres of file Congress, Good Roads, Profiteers (Continued from page 730). Colonel W. B. Greeley, chief of the national forest service, strongly urges not only the government purchase and planting of tillable lands to forests, but the encouragement of private in- terests to plant and develop forests, as a means of gua1ding against further pap r famines, and lumber shortage. I m leliably informed that the ju- never por favorably on the Capper- diciary committee of the house will Hersman farmers' collective bargain‘ ing bill, but there is a fair chance for the Volstead bill to get out onto the floor of the house this session. The committee on agriculture has ordered a favorable report on the cold storage regulation bill, under which all arti- cles excepting fresh fruit and vegeta- bles stored for more than thirty days must be stamped to show the length of time in storage. The “don the overall” fad is popular in Washington now, but it is question- able whether it will very seriously punish the clothing profiteers. There are several million farmers and wage earners in this country who wear over- alls. Possibly throughout the nation, after the “blue denim” movement has subsided, it will be found that two hundred thousand clerks, business and professional men and politicians have joined the overalls army. But the pub- licity given the movement has already enabled the dealers to boost the. price of overalls and jumpers. If the price is boosted one dollar a pair because of this movement, it will cost the wage earners and farmers in the aggregate millions of. dollars, while. the clerks will have the satisfaction of postpon-e ing the buying o'l'their usual supply of clothing a few weeks.

Experience hes— shown that mail is carbonate of lime deposited by small plants in shallow lakes. llany grew ally soils contain comb was so that lime in not necessary; or is at least. only used in small quantities. How- ever. the practical way or knowing whether or not enouah Me is in your soil is to ask yourself whether or not - you have had a good stand of clever recently. Considering the loss of clo- ver seeding from drought or from oth- er causes, ninety-five per cent of the lack of seeding in the state is due to lack of lime in. the soil. Every farmer should know that the inaction of the lime is not only that it is or value to the plants which are grown on a‘ lime soil. but that its greatest value corner: in leading the germs of the soil which take the nitro- gen out of the air and make it avail- able for plant use, and which live in the soil and on the roots of legumes, in the tubercles and nodules of clover, alfalfa, soy beans and cowpeas. The germs which break down the insoluble substances in the soil need lime; the germs which convert organic matter into soluble material need lime, and so the answer to the question as to whether or not marl will be of any use as a fertilizer can be stated affirm- atively, even if you are getting a fair stand of clover. It should be noted in this connection that marling is a com- mon practice in Europeancountries, particularly, in the British Isles has it reached a very high point of perfec- tion. The practice of going over the farm every six or seven years so that every field has had a very heavy ap- plication of marl once in seven years, is very good. Speaking with old Scotch farmers, one will find that this is con- sidered most essential in their agri- culture The proceduie you ought to follow is this: Find out by having a simple test made by your county agent or the agricultural college, whether or not your soil is acid, then it will be neces- sary for you to do a little testing of your own, as to how much marl should be applied, applying in strips of var- ious quantities, up to as high as seven yards to the were, and see for yourself what application brings the best_ re- sults. You will be readily convinced that the drawing of marl is a profit- able practice. if the marl is accessible. H. J. M. POULTRY HOUSE QU ESTIONS. We are planning on building a. hen house this summer and would like some advice. We are putting up a silo of cement staves made by pressure, staves eight inches by thirty inches, and the company claims that it would be suitable for a hen house. Is ce- ment the proper material, and will it make a hen house damp and cold, even with prope1 ventilation? Is the semi- monitor style any better than the common slant roof? Also what about muslin curtains? Does one need to provide any more protection in cold weather? Washtenaw 00. Mrs. P. C.

E C. ‘ ; “Pin” cats or “pin-head cats,” are 9 terms used in describing thin, poorly filled kernels. During adverse seasons oats may fail to fill properly and there will be a large proportion of these pin oats. Some varieties tend to carry an greater proportion than others of poorly filled oats. Oftentimes pin oats, will consist of only the husks with a mere vestige of kernels. A high pro- portion of pin oats lowers the weight per bushel and the feeding value of the cats. I am not familiar with the term “steel-cut cats,” but think it may re- fer to “clipped” oats. Clipped oats are oats which have been driven by a. strong blast of air against a steel cyl- inder, which clips off the ends of the ; , oats, increasing the weight per bushel | and reducing the volume. Oats are Q often put through the process of clip- 3 _. We.» ( «a. , ping when they are'to be shipped 'a long distance. J. F. C.

Wil these pota- toes be good for planting this year? St. Clair Co A. B. Potatoes which have been exposed to the sun are in no way injured for seed purposes. If these tubers are of good form and not diseased, there is no reason why they cannot be used for seed purposes. In fact, there is some advantage in having the tubers '-., “greened,” or “green sprouted,” by ex- 1 posing them 'to the light for several weeks before planting. Potatoes that 1 % are treated in that way will come up very quickly and the tubers which will not make good growth can easily be detected after the sprouting proc- ess has gone on for some time.

Edison’ 8 Realism .’l' est in the In dison Shop on Fifi/1.401211%, New York. Famous Psychologists Try the REALISM TEST —Scientists from American universities find that strange things happen during Mr. Edison’s new‘musical test. HERE’S no woman in this picture. Anybody can see that. Yet these three men declared they heard her. I was there when thcy made their astound— ing statements—in the l‘ldison Shop, on / Fifth Avenue, New York. In the rear of this temple of music is a great hall, where there’s usually a concert going on. On this particular day its doors Were half open. Inside it was half dark—— and silent as a. church at midnight. Then a voice floated to my cars from within. It was an exquisite voice,singing just a sweet, simple song. It had that appealing sort of beauty that reaches down inside you and makes you feel lumpy in your throat. I looked through the doors to see the singer But I saw no singer at all~ just three men seated with their backs toward a phonograph. Their heads were bowed. The magic beauty of the ballad ‘had fixed them with its spell. The music died away. The three men did not stir; They seemed lost to the world. Finally one found his voice: “Leonid have sworn there was a living Singer behind 7 me. It was marvelous. Carried me back to H a certain summer I spent in my youth ” The secOnd man said: ence pf 11 living singer. She was sing"ing-—-T “I felt the pres~' 1 tree and unrestrained. 'l‘he accompaniment seemed by a separate instrument.” The third then spoke up :“Thc music filled my mind with thoughts ofpeac ‘ and beauty.“ I didn’t know what to make of it until some one explained. it was Mr. Edison’s famous Realism 'l‘cst. These three dis» tinguished men of art and science had been trying it on themselvcsn—io see. whether listening to the New Edison caused the same emotions as listening to a living singer. Director Bing/1am and his colleagues HE man who first spoke is a famous psychologist. He experiments with music and how it makes us feeland dream. He has found how music can speed you up, or slow you down,_ why it soothes your nerves, how it takes aWay that tired feeling. He is Dr. W. V.

It you have plenty oz allelic hay it i would Ire advisable to ma all the al- falfa hay the cow will eat up clean twice a. day. There is nothing better. Besides this she should have a suit- able grain ration- also, ground corn and oats mixed equal parts by meas- ure with, wheat bran. It makes a splens did combination with alfalfa alonefor reughage. I do not think you could beat- it. You should feed about one pound of this mixture of grain per day - for every three to four pounds of milk, which your cow yields in a day. if your cow gives forty pounds of milk a day she‘ ought to have ten pounds of grain per day, and so on. To have a dairy cow do her best it is practiCaily necessary to have some succulent food in the ration, like beets, carrots, corn silage, anything that has succulency. It is now so near grass that this question of succulency will soon be settled because your cow will get some fresh grass, which is the best succulent feed or all. If you have no pasture you can mow a little grass to give her once a day, or even occasion- ally. It will aid in keeping the cow in excellent condition. C. C. L. HAY SUBSTITUTE. I have ten acres of fall-plowed black loam soil on which I would like to raise a hay substitute. Would you advise me to sow millet or Sudan grass. F. O. P. I don’t think you could raise any- thing on this black loam soil that will give you as good results as field peas and oats. This makesn prime hay. A splendid substitute for clover or al- falfa and on this rich soil you can raise a. good crop. A ton and one-half to two tons per acre of good hay and possibly more, depending upon the condition of the/soil. Millet will make better hay than Sudan grass. It is a better plant and in either case you would want to sow it thickly so as to get'a finer stem, which will, make a better quality of hay. The Sudan grass would probably come up the second time and make- pasture. This might be an advantage that the other plants would not have. C. C. L. WHICH BREED OF GEESE? Which kind or geese would you ad— vise a farmer to purchase, the Tou- louse or African? Are the African 3. large and hardy goose? How many eggs would a goose cover? And how should I take care of and feed the small goslings ?——-H. B. The Toulouse goose is most com- monly seen on the farms, but the Afri- can is also popular and has many friends. The African is large and hardy and increases in weight very rapidly. Some breeders consider the African the most profitable goose to raise. The adult gander should weigh twenty pounds and the goose eighteen pounds. The young gander should weigh six- teen pounds and the young goose four- teen pounds. Some breeders of geese are learning to like the White China geese as they are heavy layers and said to average around sixty eggs per year. They should weigh around twelve pounds for the adult gander and ten pounds for the adult goose. Some than the heavy geese for use on the home ta- bleau they are not so greasy and be- lieved by some to have a better flavor than the heavier breeds. However, the fact. that the Toulouse is so gener- ally groWn proves that it is giving eon- ”hatch. with hens and give each good-x» sized hen four geese eggs. the first feed for goslings. It is given ’ Grass is on the second day after the yolks have had time to be absorbed After that a. mesh can be given three times a day. Sometirties sculded cracked corn is given. Keep the mother goose con- fined for about a week so she will not take the 'goslings too far on the range and lose them or tire them out. After “two weeks they need only one feeding _ a day if they haye a pasture rich in green food. R. G. K. A ROOT CELLAR. I am building a. concrete cellar under ' my haymow, for storage of cowhorn turnips Building entirely underground and putting concrete floor oyer cellar and balance of haymow. Will turnips keep in such a place without a venti- latihg flue? Also will you tell me what is the best way to keep sugar beet tops for feeding, either in a silo or other- wise? I. M. This excavation under the haymow will, of course, make an excellent root cellar, buLmeans ought to be provid- ed for ventilation. You could do this by' having one or two large tiles open into the cellar and these can be easily fixed so that you can close them if the weather gets too cold. But when tur— nips are first placed in the cellar in the fall there should be some means of ventilation. Cowhorn turnips make good feed but they are not considered as valuable as rutabagas or beets because they are liable to have a rather rank flavor and the most of them are tough or more fibrous than rutabagas or beets. Nev- ertheless they furnish a. very good suc~ culent food. Probably the best way to keep beet tops is in a silo, but you can put them in shallow pits in the ground as you do potatoes, covering them so that they will not freeze. C. C. L. APNCONAS AND CAMPINES. Can you describe Anconas and Silver Campines as to color, size and habits? I want to keep two flocks of hens sep arately, and would like a small bleed of hens similar to the Silva Laced Wyandottes. Mrs. P. C. The Anconas are a type of bird sim- ilar to the Leghorn and the color is mottled black and white. They often look like black birds splashed all over with large snowflakes. The weights for the breed are cock, five and a half pounds; cooker-cl, four and a half pounds; hen, four and a half pounds; pullet, three and a half pounds. The Silver Campine is an attractive bird. The male has white head plum— age and the neck feathers are white with a. little barring at the base. The back is greenish black and barred with “ white and the same applies to the re- mainder or the plumage. The same combination of colors applies to the hens. The weights of the Campine are cock, six pounds; cockerel, five pounds; hen, four pounds; pullet three and a half. pounds. Both of the breeds are considered fine layers of large white eggs.’ At present the Ancona. seems to have the widest adistribution but the Campines have many friends also. They are very attractive when carefully bred accord- ing to the Standard. R. G. K. SEX OF GEESE. l have a few gray Toplouse geese, and as I wish to put port of them on the market at Christmas time, I want to know how to distinguish the sex. Last year I sold the goose, as I was unable to tell, and have never been able to find anyone who could tell me definitely how to distinguish them. Van Buren Co; J. M.

What condition will this land he in at the end of ten years? Will the yield increase or decrease? This field without manure or fertiliser last year produced fifty—eight tons of silage on four and a half acres. This was Eureka silage corn planted June 17 and cut September 20. If I should sow two tons of fine limestone per acre how long before I should have to , sow: again?

Most cows are very fond I think if you carry out your plan as stated, that at the end of ten years this field will grow a larger crop of corn than it, will now. Ordinarily we have to grow sods in order to keep up the organic matter in the soil. There isn’t enough stable manure produced and could not be to keep all the land in good condition in growing a crop like Corn year after year. That kind of farming has been tried in the cot- ton fields of the south and also has been tried in the Red River Valley of the north with wheat, and in every in- stance atter a certain number of years the land gets into such poor physical condition that profitable crops cannot be grown, even though the land is rich in plant. food. It is just as necessary to have a supply of organic matter (bumps) in the soil as it is to have nitrogen and phosphoric acid and pot- ash, the fact is, if it was not for the necessity of this organic matter, farm- ing would be very much simplified, because we can furnish these essential elements of fertilizers in the form of commercial fertilizers, but we cannot furnish- the organic matter unless we grow sods to be turned down, or un- worthless. Where the beans; We pulled at the\proper time, and M weather was experienced in curing- bean‘ pods they are quite a valuable roughage food. Oats and barley are splendid grains and cannot be improved for auportion of the concentrates. They are, how- ever, deficient in protein. What you need in this ration is cottonseed meal and oil meal. I cannot understand it. If your cows have never been fed cottonseed meal before, I would at first mix the cottonseed meal with oats and barley or some other grain and if they once get used to it you will have no trouble in getting the cows to eat this food. I would suggest that you grind one hundred pounds of oats, one hundred pounds of barley, and one hundred pounds of corn and mix with this one hundred pounds of cottonseed meal, that is, one-fourth of the grain ration will be cottonseed meal. Feed your cows all of the roughage they will eat up clean, and then feed them one pound of grain per day for every four pounds of milk that they prodhce in a day. In this case where you have no succulent food in the ration I would prefer to use oil meal in place of cot- tonseed meal. I thinkxyou would get better results. C. C. L.

The stable manure will furnish the organic matter just as well as sods, and by the use of commercial fertilizer and the plant food in the manure there is no question but what you can in- crease the yield on; the average year after year. ‘As a matter of_fact, this very same idea has been tried out in a careful way at Cornell University by Professor Roberts, who was for many years dean of the agricultural depart- ment. He performed the very same experiment that you are contemplat- ing, raising corn for a period of ten years on the same field, giving the field an application of stable manure annually and the yield of corn kept gradually increasing. The tenth crop was a much better crop than the first one, so there is no theory about this. If I remember correctly, Professor Roberts did not use any commercial fertilizer, simply the stable manure. By using your commercial fertilizer and then all the manure you produce on this one field, I think that you will _ more than keep up the fertility of the soil on your plan and taking your farm into consideration it seems to me that this is a. mighty wise plan. C. C. L. \ When one says to grow soy beans there is to it. Of course, you can 'put the rows closer together, twenty-eight inches is enough room. It is better to drill them than to plant in hills. You can get a larger yield. Otherwise pre- pare the land and cultivate as you they are intended for hay, cut them with a mowing machinewhenthe pOds are nicely form‘ed. Do not wait until they get ripe, and cure as you would clover hay. They can be left in swaths much longer than clover hay and not bleach out, because they do not seem to absorb moisture. When ready to rake, which may be one or two days, time they should be put in cocks and left till they go through the sweating process. Do not hurry 'them on ac- count of weather. ' The best land for soy beans is the best land for corn, although soy beans will make a better growth on poor land than corn will, but if you want to get a big crop you have got to have good soil the same as for any other crop. . ' Where soy beans have not been grown on field before, the seed should be inoculated with proper bacterin. This can be done by the glue method. that is, getting soil from near the roots of soy beans that contain well developed nodules, drying and fining this soil and sprinkling on seed that RATION Listens» PROTEIN.

" AS'I‘ year a certain denomination celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its work in Atiierica. (in the day ot the big prize fight in Toledo the papers reported about one-third as many people at the tight as there were at the church celebration at t‘ol- umbus. When we read that the disciples were [tl'iil:‘llli‘, (lod tor the “mighty deeds" they had witnessed, the (lilo-ration naturally rises, did not the disciples have the advantage over the people ot today? Had they not seen greater events than we have? Had they not more reason to be filled with joy titan the ordinary churchgoing man? They had seen I-Iim still the \\’:t\’t‘.\' ot‘ furious Galilee, and his disciples were amazed and asked what manner or man this could be, who could compel Obedience from wind and wave. Thcy had seen llim go into a house where. a little girl lay dead. Around her stood the weeping father and mother, the synr pathetic neighbors. They had seen llim take lit r by the hand and lift her up to life and strength. Have we secn anything like that in these days? Answerwwe have seen greater events than these. When our Lord went away from earth He said that hr»; followers would do greater thing‘s~ than had been done, bccau;~;e he was going to the Father. it has been so. It is so now. \Vhen .lcsus was here. Ilo only wrought iiis meat deeds when He was personally present. lie only taught when lie was personally present. to speak the word. llut now he is multiplied ten thousand fold. Thousands are toiling in His name, and thousands speak for Him, where one wrought or taught in the days of His flesh. The other day i read of a “mighty deed.” One great denomination in America is spending twelve and a halt millions of dollars, mind the figures, twelve and a half millions, for aiding; the suttering peoples of I'Iurope. ()ne shipload ol' necessaries has already been sent. A list of its cargo reads like the invoice til a. general store. There are forty-live thou. sand pairs, ot shoes, two tons of sugar, three tons ot' rice, halt a ton ot‘ coffee. halt a ton of tea, half a ton ot‘ cocoa. thirty ortorty thousand bars ot' soap, on and on, through a long list. Some of it was going to nerthern anca where the people are living in dug- to the Balkans. That surelywhere the children are starving, some outs, some of it to Vienna, is a "mighty deed,” and it could not have happened in the days of our Lord. Then, too, what of that manifesto from the prime ministers of Great Britain, Canada, Aus— tralia, New Zealand and South Africa? These men in high office have issued this statement to the millions of subjects of the Brit ish king, saying that peace and prosperity depend not on science, commerce, education, capital, but on good will among men, and that Instant P estum still sells at the same low price as before the general rise in costs ~and great is the number of families who nOW use this table beverage in place of W1. 1‘”...

Someone coins a phrase or makes use of a little known word, and over night everyone from Maine to California is working his mind overtime in an effort to get the new expression into his conversa- tion as often as possible. - Some of them stick because they are so useful, while many more die of overwork in— side of a season. One which has been with us a long time and bids fair ’to stay is “Service.” There are public service corporations, service stations for‘autoists, the service promised by every progressive firm, and hotels with “the finest service.” On every hand We hear Of “service,” but few, very few of us, ever get it. \Vhat sort Of service does your phone‘ give? I’d hate to hear you answer, so I’ll hasten on to the mails, the express companies, the man that promised you glass for your windows, and the deal- er who was going to have your new flivver for you weeks ago. Mostly you are still waiting for deliveries Of ev— erything promised. And the much talked of service to the state, where is it? Plenty of men and women to serve on election boards, serve on commissions, that work only one day in the year and that on pay day. Plenty to act on investigating committees, thousands to make speech- es and tell what the country needs, but how many to take Off their coats and gO to work? One hundred con- gressmen and their families stand ready to serve the country by taking a trip to investigate the Orient, while tens of hundreds ,Of farmers will be unable to raise a full crop because of Orientals than months of investigating at first hand could accomplish. The trouble with us all is that we are all looking to get service and none of us ready to give it. I’ll amend that by saying few of us are ready to give it; for 18. pitiful few among us still have the old—fashioned idea that it is better to give than to receive. Two thousand years ago One came to the earth who preached a new doctrine— the doctrine that happiness lies only along the line of doing for Others. He went about doing good, not seeking money nor fame nor empty honors." He was among men as One who serves and in every generation since then there have been a few who have fol- lowed His example. It is these few who will save the world today, the few who are willing to give with no thought of reward; whose thought is of the quality of the work they do and not of the amount of pay they draw. The few who real- ize that what the Country needs is deeds, not empty talk. They are not making much stir; indeed, they are scarcely noticed. Their quiet self-ef— t'acement is rather scorned, but. they can afford to overlook the contempt of men, for they,‘only, have the key to happiness. ,Service is a grand word if we con-‘ sider it from the right angle. But we must" always -think of it in' the light of what we give, and not what we are to get. If we all make it our business to give service, we can trust to get- ting it. DEBORAH.

The planting of entire clumps some- times leads :to failure in‘ producing flowers, the strength of the plant be-' ing spent in foliage growth. It is there- fore advisable to divide the old clumps, using but a. single tuber. As this tu- ber should contain a part of the collar of the plant where the new buds oc- cur, it is best to wait until buds de- velop before planting. . l The distance apart for planting var- ies with the varieties, but for general purposes three to four feet are usu- ally left between the plants.

To flower properly the wood must be young and succulent, this condition being obtained only through a contin- uous period of growth Without a check. Early-started plants are severely checked by the heat of midsummer and either fail to flowenat all or are killed by frost before flowering. The , last of May or early June is consider- ed the best period for planting. Light soils are best suited for dahl- ias. 0n very light soils manure or other humus-producing substances should be introducedito improve the moisture-holding capacity, while heavy ' soils should be lightened by the intro- duction of sand, lime, sheep manure, or bulky straw manure. ‘ Dahlias may be allowed to develop unrestricted, a stake being driven to each plant to support the stem; or the terminal shoots may be pinched out after three to four pairs of leaves , are formed, this checking the terminal growth and producing heavy, stocky stems capable of self-support. Thorough cultivation, to conserve moisture is. essential. A mulch or leaves. grass clippings, or well rotted manure may be used during the sum- , mer for this purpose Watering should only be practiced if done regularly, the ground being thoroughly soaked at ' intervals, depending upon the weather.

When gas engines first came into general use, owners wanted to use them on 'threshers as well as other belt machines about the farm. But the usual gas engine was too light. It lacked the power needed for keeping up speed in the thresher. We have answered this for you in the design of this Oil—Gas Tractor. Its fly- wheel is extra large and heavy.

February $87.16, a total of $424.86 in . applying the eight-hour standard .to the four months not usually regarded as the best for egg production. This flock» is producing now about one hun- dred eggs a day. I Mr. Eckard has not only been able to show this remarkable yield but has accomplished it under the handicap of poor housing. There is no poultry house on the lot where he rents but there is a barn twenty-four feet square. On this barn floor he has one hundred and forty-five pullets. On the north side of the barn there is a, shed and here he has housed the eighteen old hens that for more than a year have given better than fifty per cent egg yield. Both of these buildings are dark and afford the poorest kind of housing. Mr. Eckard has clearly demonstrated that egg production is a matter of type of bird and proper feeding influenced. in winter by artificial light in order to give a. longer working day. He has the building wired for electric light, which he turns on in the morning at five o’clock and the birds are on: the their families of all of the luxuries and many of the necessities of life have been able to point with pride to moneyin the bank and to bear the distinction among the less thrifty in the community of being “practical” farmers. We might add in passing that many of the farmers of this type are not open-minded, they do not favor good roads and good schools and they resent the farm bureau movement. It has also been my observation that few children from these homes remained on the farm or in the country but were actually driven from home by reason of an over-abundance of hard labor and little or no opportunity for social and recreational diversion. Times, however, are changing for the better -in the country and there is now being set up a new standard and the “practical” farmer is going to be the individual who is able to take the find- stops chicks dying Sick Baby Chicks?

Men who ’have ‘followed 'a definite system of crop growing and feeding hogs during peri- ods of depression, conducting their business along approved lines with re- spect to economy, have. made as satis— factory profits as those made by the successful farmers in other lines of live stock husbandry. In common with other lines of live stock breeding and feeding the farmer who feeds hogs must assume hisshare of the risks during the next two or three years. Hog prices have recently experienced a decline which is sure to result in decreased production of pork in 1920. 'But with industry on a prosperous basis, labor sharing in the profits to a greater extent than before the war, and with no restrictive meas- ures on meat consumption, the ele- ment of risk incidental to finishing cause prudent men to take a pessimis- tic view of the situation. It is a time, however, when every feeder should adept a .safe and conservative policy and not attempt to feed more hogs tha‘n he canfinish for market in'good condition without investing too heav- . ily in purchased feedstuffs. Economy in the use of feeds and the adoption of labor-saving methods are imperative, and short feeding periods in which cheap bulky feeds play as important a part as consistent with rapid gains will undoubtedly yield the greatest net profit. High prices for grain feeds are always subject to sud- den and violent fluctuations which have a tendency to make the market- ing of hogs more of a gamble than is the case during normal times. In the face of present marketing conditions the hog grower is" justified in planning his feeding operations so that he can market his hogs at different times of the year, rather than following the common practice of having them all conditioned at one time, and depend- ing upon his good luck to carry him through. Sacrifices that frequently result from this method are sufficient to justify feeders to practice a close- to-shore policy, and not be forced to put their hogs on the market at a time when it does not want them. Ample provision should be made for the supply of suitable feeding mate rials. Many a hog grower has over~ looked the‘ feed problem only to real- ize that putting weight on a. large drove of hogs involved serious outlays. In his natural environment the'hog is a forager and roughage consumer, so that the skill of the farmer to utilize such feeds to the most profitable lim- its ensures far greater profits than can feeds alone. Successful‘hog feeding consists of feeding the materials you. have at hand in the proper combina- tions so that all of the needs of the pig for _making the most growth and fat in the quickest time will be satis~ fled. If the farm dees not supply all of the materials, it will be necessary to purchase what is heeded. Just what feed will prove the most eco- nomical and efficient depends upon the price of feeds and their availability. While corn is the most important grain feed there are many times when vantage in feeding breeding stock and, J . - . . _ 9, prices. wartime-"’7. -. x - tionsflaflectin‘g. the sfii’ng 339mg. ‘ - ‘ try during. the jpastf‘ldecade, , proves that the farmer who keepsa; . does not allow adverse temporary. con-q ' hogs for market is not sufficient to ,7 be made from feeding concentrated .. barley and oats may be used to ad— - .5- xra‘ feedinggespecinliym' ” in a," regidii'wiisre there is more or less dangenot ii partial failure of the corn mptemnture sound ears, will'iind it advantageous from several points. or view .,-to‘.:. grow a few acres or these small’hainsto helmoutin his feeding"- Operations‘ in case the corn crop tails. Not-only..will they; prove ofrgreat val- ue at such times. but they may be : used to good advantage to balance up the pretentiontentbf the ration when corn is being fed in liberal amounts to the growing pigs and breeding stock. These feeds will save many dollars in the purchaSe of protein concentrates and: prove an efl'icient substitute fer corn '1: case'ot partial crop failure. . Tonnage. (meat meal), about ' sixty per cent protein, is the most efficient and convenient supple- ment to purchase when com is being fed. But tankage costs from $90 to $100 a ton. So the prudent feeder will look around and see it he cannot sub- stitute such feeds as oilmeal, peanut meal, condensed buttermilk or some other protein feed that can be bought at the right price, at times when pas« ture supplements are not available. Keeping these things in mind, will enable one to work out a number of ways in which feeding costs can be kept down to the lowest possible figure. Another factor in economical hog growing at the present time is that of keeping down labor costs. Science and experiments, indicate that hogs make more economical gains from the same amount of feeding materials where la— bor charges are low, that is, on farms where the hogs are allowed to gather a portion of their feed in the fields, and where the grain feeding is simpli- fied as much as practicable by the use of self-feeders. Various feeders report satisfactory results with self-feeders for growing pigs and breeding stock; while other men prefer the old way, inasmuch as it makes it possible for them to make more efficient use of the forage crops and pasture. During the fattening period, however, the hog is the best judge of its own needs, for when left to its choice it will balance its ration to produce the most profit- able gain, eating less and less of pro- tein and more and more of carbohy- drates as it grows older and fatter. Besides this makes it possible for one- man to feed a large number of hogs without neglecting his other work. When conditions justify a full feed of grain there is no doubt that the free choice method of feeding is the most emcient and economical. Harvesting crops with hogs not only helps to solve the complicated labor problem., but it pays. In test after test in many states it has been found that hogs turned into forage and corn fields waste but little feed and produce cheaper gains than when fed in yards, and they save a lot of work gathering and preparing the feeds. The practice of hogging down cornis so profitable that many farmers sow rape in the corn fields and plan the corn crop so as to extend the length of time during which. the hogs can be used in bar- vesting the crop. Each spring the first corn which they plant consists of a small field of a ninety-day variety. This matures two or three weeks be- fore the main crop and gives the hogs that much more Work. to do before cold éweather comes. The early ma- . turing varieties of corn usually yield ~ rather less than the later ones, but {mm to. hasten the time of market- the savingiof labor and the extra pork per bushel is full compensation for that.

A dressing of barnyard manuief will in? crease the yield, especially on new lands which have not been inoculated by clovers. We have found here in northern Wisconsin the growing of oats and peas the most satisfactory way of getting rid of quack grass; es-. pecially when the crop is sowed thick- ly it will smothei out the quack grass; Oats and peas contain more than twice as much protein as com, and therefore. make a ration which is practically well balanced in itself. As a food for dairy cows it is most excellent, and will sub- stitute the best of pastuie. ‘- In the fall of 1918 I had an occasion to test the worth of cat and pea silage ' compared with com silage. I had been feeding corn silage to a number- of dairy cows, and on the twenty-first of , January came to the place in the silo where oats and peas had been put in. We noticed at once an increase in the pioduction of milk from ou1 herd. One now which was neaily (lly, giving about fourteen pounds per day, rose quickly to twenty pounds per day; an- other increased from fifteen pounds to twenty four pounds, and similar i111 creases were noted by other animals of the herd. This was sufficient evidence £01 us to prove that cats and pea sil- age was supelior to corn silage, espe- cially when given as we were feeding. Our method of sowing is to work the ground as early in the swing as it can be plowed and ham owed then sowing one and one- half bushels of peas to one and one- half bushels of cats per acre The cats and peas will germi- nate even when the giound is cold and - wet, and late spring f1osts will not de- stroy the plants.

FOR A FORAGE ' ‘ once. my: old policy of following the same old rut worn deep by the . old timers leads to farm failure. 1’ ’ It pays to experiment a little and keep V on the lookout for something better. 1 am not a book farmer, but just an ordinary, sleeves-rolled-up .tiller of the - . Soil. 1 do believe, though, in trying ‘5 out new crops -in an effort to improve . . on old conditions. l ' Feed is the big question here in southern Michigan. With oats at one *‘ dollar per bushel, corn a dellar and sixty cents, and hay at forty-five dol- lars per ton, we fruit farmers have to pay out about all of our profits for feed. I reserve a few acres for grow- ing feed and endeavor to make those acres produce to the limit. That is Why I tried Sudan grass and that is why I tried Kaflir corn last year. I planted one—half acre with Kaffir corn, planting with an ordinary hand- planter, with hills. three and one-half feet apart both ways. The corn was planted May 20 on a low, wet piece of black soil, with no manure or fertil~ izer. I found it difficult to adjust the planter correctly and as a‘consequence the hills received from five to fifteen '( -' kernels each. At first the corn grew very slowly and looked spindling. I got a good ~stan‘d but it looked very weak until the hot dry weather of midsummer. Then it began to grow at a very fast rate. There were from five to fifteen stalks to a hill. The hills with the most stalks made the best feed be- cause it did not grow so coarse. I cut it when it was fully headed out and part of the seed'matured but did not cut the seed from the stalks. . Shocks six hills square made very large shocks. The stalks had more leaves than ordinary corn and the ’leaves were broader and longer. When thefodder was cured I hauled it into a shed and fed it to horses and cows.’ The cow did well on the fodder and had a better milk flow than she had with ordinary fodder. The horses would leave good timothy hay to eat the fodder and kept fat on it without any grain. Hogs ate the fodder stalks and all and seemed to enjoy it. The half-acre of Kaffir corn produced more feed than any acre of ordinary - corn, and, the stock liked it better than ordinary fodder. I have no silo but I should think that the Kafllr corn would beat any- silage corn as a silo filler. I cannot say whether it would make good silage as the stalks are very sweet and the silage might fer- ment too much. I leave that question to the experiment station. ‘ I will say, though, that Kafiir corn will make more feed to the acre than any two acres of ordinary contend the stock will eat it better and do bet- / ter on the feed. The corn grew from five to seven feet tall for me, but would have done better on better soil. ,A neighbor has good successwith it on light sand and his Kaflir corn ma- ,_.turéd two weeks before mine.

The toll it exacts is seen in the little scrap heaps that so peacefully repose in repair shops, against tool sheds, and in farm yards. Scored pistons, uneven bearings, worn rings; all are symbols of faulty lubrication. Surely, this is a high price to pay for the lack of a little care and it is all the more deplorable because a little judgment in the choice of oil " and somc“systcm” in using it will pay over and over again. Choose a quality oil lichEXAco and use the grade recom- mended for your type of tractor. Oil as often as your in- struction book directs.Then you will be sure that a sturdy film of oil is amply protecting every working part.You are sure then that wear is kept down and power increased.TEx- ACOTRACTOR OIL is shipped in 5 g-gallon and 3 3-gallon steel drums,woodcn barrels, half-barrels, and 5—gal. drums. .

The man who buys a Mohawk Tire is usually sur- prised and delighted at the mileage it gives him. Experience with other tires has taught him to expect approximately a certain number of miles. When he finds that his Mohawk Tire is-yielding from half again to double that amount—natur- ally, the riext tire he buys is a Mohawk. ‘ Then, doubly gratifying is the fact that this next Mohawk does as well—or even better. In short, he finds that Mohawks give him the sort of treatment he likes from anyone with whom he does business—fair and square—never disappointing—honest and dependable.

The Early Amber sorgh~ um, closely related to Kaifir,‘ more nearly approaches corn in yielding ability. _, . ‘ ’ , On droughty soils, during seasons of great drought, Kafiir corn might yield more than corn. Kafl‘lr’: has be- come an important grain and forage crop west of the corn-belt in regions where the rainfall is not sufficient 0r properly distributed for corn growing. For planting late in the season or Kaflir corn may be depended :upon to give large yields of forage. On fertile ground or soil of average fertility neither of these crops can'equal corn m forage or grain production". LIVE STOCK MARKETiN'e.‘ THE Live Stock Marketing Depart- ment of the Illinois Agricultural Association has employed Lee Divine, a DeKalb county cattle feeder for sev- en years, to carry out theatate sur- vey of grade and purebred liye stock. Director H. W. Mumford says 1 the most hopeful opportunity to better live stock marketing conditions is to eliminate sharp fluctuations. The sur- vey will get the facts with which to work out this problem. This depart- ment hopes to cooperate with other state associations in getting- a- s‘u'rVey of the middle west. . , _ ;' From all indications, the wool pool will be larger this year than last. ness in Illinois, the comparatively small pool last year saved farmers ,ov- er_$50,000.

Un- fortunately, there were but few. suit- able offerings, and the many country buying orders which had accumulated during the railroad strike were added it). The demand was particularly strong for the feeders of the near-beef kind, adapted for a quick finish on corn, and high prices had to .be paid for .that class. Good one-thbusand- pound feeders were wanted for this purpo‘se,"a.nd there were a number of sales, at $11 to $11.50 per hundred pounds, while good lots averaging from seven hundred to eight hundred pounds foundi‘an outlet at $10.25 to $10.75. Stock cattle going below $10 lacked in both quality'and weight, sales .being ‘made as low as $8.00. A limited number of stock cows sold for $7.50 to $8.50. For some time there has been a slhckening interest shown in stock cows and heifers, coun- try buyers having found that because of the rigid tuberculin test, about half of their purchases were rejected. It is almost certain that in the near fu- ture many delayed buying orders for stock cattle will be filled, and higher prices are to be expected. There will always be a certain demand for feed- ers of the choicer class, but such heavy losses have been suffered from paying fancy prices that it is deemed ’most likely that most stockmen will invest in the moderate priced kinds. A few farmers make good profits by producing high-grade beef cattle, but most stotzkmen make the best profits on lower-priced lots. In attending mainly to raising hogs, while others are going to feed only one or two loads of cattle. The labor problem enters largely into the cattle proposition—F. VETERINARY SERVICE. Injured Tait—I have a cow which seems to be in good health. but has something wrong with her tail, some two inches above the long hair. This part of tail seems to be hollow like a tube. The local veterinary says that it may be a result. of a dog bite and that .the skin and bone seems to be separated. She is Jersey arfd only two years old, but came fresh last September. J. H., Caseville, Mich.— Doubtl'ess the tail has been injured, causing this separation and it is very doubtful if the parts will ever unite again. Paint the sore parts with“ tinc- ture 0f iodine, then pack it with pine tar and oakum. covering it with tar bandages and leave it on for ten days. Piles—I have a bunch of hogs that will weigh nearly two hundred pounds each, which are fed corn and oats, equal parts by weight, some of them are troubled with piles. J. G., Wayne County—Feed food, such as roots, to open their bowels, as constipation is a common cause of piles. Besides, if they have more exercise the bowels will move more freely. Give bicarbon- ate ol.‘ soda in each feed. One-half teaspoonful is enough for each hog at a dose two or three times daily. Mange—Have been applying coal-7 tar disinfectant on two mangy cattle for some time, but it failed to cure them. Will you tell me what to ap- ply? J. S., Chesaning, Mich—One of the least expensive remedies that you can apply is one part sulphur, one- half part carbonate of potash and four parts lard. This ointment should be applied every three or four days, but if their coat is long clip the cows and you will cure them quickly. remedy fails write again, saying so, and the writer will prescribe a more active one.

WHEAT In spite of the'handicap of adverse financial conditions, grain prices made sharp advances last week to new high levels for the season. Wheat went higher because of the late season for planting other crops, prospective em- bargoes on Argentine’s surplus and a failure on the part of Australia to ful- fill contracts made with Great Britain. The world demand apparently exceeds the supply. Present Detroit prices have advanced to the following fig- ures: Cash No. 1 red $2.98; No. 1 mixed $2.96; No. 1 white $2.96; No. 2 red $2.95; No 3 red $2.92 per bushel. CORN With elevators at consuming cent- ers practically empty of this grain and little improvement in the car situa- tion, dealers found it necessary to sharply advance prices and then many found it impossible to secure the grain needed. Delayed planting is giving the market additional bullish support. The prices on the local market have ad- vanced to the following: Cash N0. 3 $1.82; No. 3 yellow $1.87; No. 4 yel— low $1.82; No. 5 yellow $1.78; No. ,6 yellow $1.74. OATS _ Oat receipts are insufficient to meet the demand and the local elevators are almost empty Each day brings ad- vanced quotations and many buyers would gladly pay premiums, could they secure a. supply that would satisfy their wants. Present quotations at Detroit are: Cash No. 2 white $1.22; No. 3 white $1.21; No. 4 white $1.20.

At Detroit the board luotes immediate and prompt ship— nent at $7.75 per cwt. New York re- sorts choice pea beans at $8, and the :hoice mediums at $7.50. The Chicago market is quiet and unchanged at $7 @750 for handpicked choice to fancy Bea beans and $13 for red kidneys. Offerings there are fairly liberal.

WOOL Despite apparent efforts of eastern operators to throw a note of alarm into the general wool trade, prices appear to be well maintained at a level above the figures of a year ago and dealers who are in need of immediate supplies do not hesitate to pay prices for goods offered. Ohio growers are asking 600 a pound for medium clips and $1 for fine clips. A highly speculative situa- tion obtains. especially in the English markets. - GRAND RAPIDS The egg market is higher this week, dealers bidding 41615420 per dozen.

New .vom K PRODUCE MARKET. Butter.—The reactionjn the butter market has been very marked ‘ this week. One week ago buyers were eag~ er for butter and were paying prices one or two cents higher than those quoted. At the present time the quo- tation on extras is-fully 110 under that of last week Saturday, and‘buyers are limiting their purchases to their imme- diate needs. Butter has been arriving by truck, by express and great quan- tities by freight. The most-noticeable feature is the quantity of butter that is being shipped by express. Creamer- ies evidently are anixous to get their butter on the market before there is any greater slump in price. Each day this week has witnessed a decline in butter prices, these declines ranging from half a cent to four cents. Un- doubtedly we may expect a greater decline before prices again become stabilized. Quotations at the close on Eriday were: Extras 651/z@660; high- er scoring than extras 66%,@67c; firsts 62@650; seconds 59@610.

A FEW spring lambs of this year’s crop are moving to market and selling at high prices, the supply -.be- ing too small So\far as to cut any im- portant figure in the Chicago market. Last year’s lambs are subject to fre- quent breaks in prices whenever the offerings happen to be larger" in vol- ume than usual, and even on 'some days when the receipts are not liberal values go off as a result of the large numbers of lambs brought in by the: big packing concerns from Fort Worth, Denver and other primary points. The outlook, however, points to high prices in the near future, as the greater part of the lambs have been marketed. The feed lots around Chicago are reported 4 to hold the smallest supplies of sheep and lambs ever known 'at this Season of the year.——F.

OR a number of years, there has, been a good deal of. discussion in the live stock press in regard to the establishing of trade relations with the South American countries, particu— larly as it related to live stock. There: were indications of a possible trade of considerable volume developing, and just enough encouragement along to prove an incentive in its further prog- ress. During the past twelve months there have come definite, unmistak— able evidences of this development. As this is written there are embark- ing for South America, two shipments of purebred beef cattle with a liberal representation of dairy cattle. bound for Argentina composed almos if not entirely, of high-class Short- numbering near seventy-five head. The destination of the other Shipment is Uruguay, the second ex- port shipment taken from this country by the same interests. Approximately one hundred and seventy-five head are included in this shipment; the major portion being divided nearly equally between Shorthorns and Herefords. Before sailing, the gentlemen who are responsible for the Uruguay ship- ment. made it known to official repre- sentatives of the live stock interests in this country that they contemplate returning soon again for another selec- tion. The Argentina shipment refer- red to is so much the largest shipment that has ever been sent to that pros- perous cattle country and there is every prospect that later shipments will follow, in early succession, of large numbers. But that is not all. There is in this country, at the present time, a repre- sentative of Brazilian interests, who is in quest of a highclass collection of purebred beef cattle to be used for I “Show purposes in Brazil. the object being to create a demand in that country for American-bred cattle. Still further. there comes from Chile. assur- ances of definite orders soon’ to be placed by the m of flat conn- 1'2"" try for purebred beef cattle produced here in the United States. This is the result of the ellort which has been made toward inter- esting South American cattle growers in the improved types produced here. Then nm a, number of reasons why the South Amer-icon peoples are in- clined to the United States for this clan of live stock. In the first place the United States is the only calm-1 ,try that can supply high-class, negle- Md. beef cattle in any consider‘uhlc Mes. - L. admits the {minor the 1910 111001.000 m 1101-0011 today 1100 , :RADIATDR Mtnaoisthemamr 0101010000,”:12100011101111110 ,mucomltfnhconditlmwfl—m 00011—4000 not waste a in the stock All the Grain Is Coming to You Every kernel of the grain you _ have raised is Then why ~ let any of it go into the straw stack?
