RRENT COMMENT





Y the very nature





 





 





of his business,



The the farmer is subject

Weather to a. handicap which

Handicap is alWays a factor of





uncertainty, a l w a y s

difficult to meet and sometimes impos-

sible to overcome. Crop growth and

crop yields are very largely dependent

upon ‘weather conditions. Fortunately

for the consuming public these condi-

tions generally average in a manner to

permit near normal production in most

seasons, but in the making of thisav—

erage the less fortunate farmers who

suffer from the effects of frost, flood

or drought, as the case may he, find

the weather handicap a more or less

insurmountable obstacle to their sea-

sonal prosperity.



Nothing is more discouraging to the

man of average temperament than to

see the possible results of his labor

swept swiftly away, or more slowly,

but not less surely, shrunken in vol-

ume. But every year the farmers of

some sections of the country are sub-

jected to such discouragements. It

goes with the business, and so far as

it is unavoidable must be endured.



But, except in extreme cases, it will

be observed in any community that

some farmers suffer less from unfav-

orable weather conditions than others.

In a few cases this will be found to be

due to more naturally favorable soil

conditions, but in a majority of cases

it is because they have complied more

nearly with nature's requirements in

their processes of production. If a.

wet spring is the handicap their land

is generally better drained. If a sum-

mer drought is the obstacle they will

have plowed early for spring crops and

thus stored up a supply of moisture

against the time of need which is later

conserVed by judicious cultivation.

If both these handicaps are met in

the same season, as has been the case

in some sections of the country this

year, the farmer’s skill and resource

fulness is put to a still more severe

test, especially in view of the shortage

[of farm labor with which to rush oper-

ations when conditions are favorable.



These facts are often, an added

cause of discouragement to many suf-

ferers'from the weather handicap. It

is hard to rejoice with a more fortu—

nate neighbor in the hour of discour-





how his example can be followed un-

idler our conditions when his formula

’ plain to us, due to other handicaps

. non which he may not suffer to a like





economic production means the least,

This hr turn

means every possible provision to re.“





Lance the weatherhandicap- to its low?





est'minimum. While-it will‘be impos-

sible to eliminate this handicap, the

failures of one season may be made to

yield lessons which will reduce their

likelihood the next. And in a general

way the most successful farmers in

any community are those who have

studiously applied those lessons year

in and year out, thereby increasing

their crop yields in poor crop years,

when better prices have in large meas-

ure made up for lessened production.

While "quotations have

been marked dOWn sharply on the more

common grades, nominal quotations

on the better fleece wools are fairly,

satisfactory. But these quotations

mean little, as movements are exceed-

ingly small. The trade is very evi-

dently playing a waiting game.



Market comment is largely confined

to the Texas situation. Texas wools

are generally of low quality and are

clipped early. They are said to be gen-

erally pledged for loans to their capa-

city as collateral, with the banks call-

ing for the payment of the loans. In

this regard the Texas growers are un-

present time. The price which they

will finally receive will depend upon

merchandising conditions rather than

speculative manipulation.

States, the owest condition of any of

them in Mic igan is only one per cent

direction of Coleman C. Vaughan, Sec-

retary of State, and Verne H. Church,

Field Agent, United States Bureau of

been made to date, are below’ normal,

due to the decreased rural population.

faVOrably situation, as loanable capital

is scarce and interest rates are high.

Under these conditions there is every

incentive for wool manufacturers and

speculators to attempt to break the

wool market before the season for the

heavy- movement of the better wools.





Under these conditions Michigan

wool growers are fortunate in" having

an arrangement for the pooling of their

clip through the medium of the State

Farm Bureau, and borrowing money

for current needs on their warehouse

receipts if necessary. Without question

this pooling of the clip in important

fleece wool states, 118 Michigan and

Ohio, will have. a strengthening effect

on the market for these grades. . Dame

rumor says that the manufacturers of

woolen goods have agreed among

themselves that they would buy the

wool thus held—lean While it is pos:

sible that they might be able to carry





out such an alleged agreement by of- j,





 





south-central counties, where the Hes-

sian fly has done much damage and

where there was considerable Winter-

killing. Some fields were plowed up

and given over to other crops, and oth-

ers were narrowed and spring grains

sovm in with the wheat. The remain-

ing fields are more or less spotted. In

the Central and e t-central counties

there are many xcellent fields and

these have made considerable improve-

ment during May. The' condition is

ood in the northern districts except

the northeastern daunties of the lower

peninsula.



The estimated amount of wheat mar-

keted at mills and elevators during

May is 533,000 bushels, a total of 11,-

479, 000 bushels since August 1,1919.

The settinated amount still remaining

on farms is 2, 012,000 bushels.



Oats. ~Notwtthstanding the baclc

ward seam and the delays incident

to wet weather. and scarcity of farm

labor, the acreage exceeds expecta-

tions. It is estirhated at 98 per cent

a. 0TH Wiscomin and Michigan have

31 thousands at acres of sandy soils

which are being farmed success-

fully, stilt it is claimed by men preju-

fidjgéd against this kind of soil that

it. (firm-0t be farmed profitably. Dif-

ferent systems of farming are being





used by these progressive farmers,





Some of these methods have proven to

be profitable.



in Adams county, Wisconsin, (some-

times called the desert of Wisconsin),

there are cityobred farmers who fin-

’ally succeeded in saving a few hun-





v





dred dollars-to make the firstpayment



” on .a tract of-sandy land, moved from

f. thecity to the farm, and after ten to

fifteen years own their farms, have





good buildings, own live stock, and





‘ have made a good living. These men

. say they and their families are much





better, healthier, and live better in the

country than in the city. They have

had to? endure some hardships at the





'start, work somewhat longer hours,





but the returns have been better than

in the city.



Sandy or light soils because of their

comparatively lower selling value, are

within reach and are frequently pur-

chased by the man of limited means.

This man cannot improve his buildings

or farm rapidly, which partly accounts

for the poorer appearance of build-

ings on these light soils. However,

I have been in numerous ‘localities

where first-claSS buildings are found

on nearly every farm. These men say

that they started with-practically no

money, many of them not acquainted

with farming, and are‘today in gobd

circumstances financially.



“How did they do it ?” is a question

frequently asked.



The Adams and Waupaca county

farmer grew mostly; rye, oats, ‘buck-

wheat and potatoes as cash crops.

These he sold and used the proceeds

to buy’live stock, Clover for hay grew

well on these virgin soils and was

grown extensively. As the live stock

industry develdped creameries and

cheese factOries were established in





these light soil regions, which meant-





that farmers would feed their. grain

and hay and keep a larger proportion

of the fertility ‘on their farm. This

gave them larger yields per acre and

established a permanent system of

farming. Recently, however, some of

these farmers have failed in securing

good crops of clover hay and substi-

tuted marsh hay in its place, which

meant less milk and smaller returns.

Some became discouraged and by this





~. time had sufficient money to buy what





they termed a better farmer heavier

soils. The more progressive farmer

learned about the use of limestone in

growing clover; about soy beans as a

_high~gr'ade substitute for“





   





age available. ’To have a succesSiOn of

pasture crops, a combination of soy

beans and rape or peas and cats were

planted as. early as ”spring weather per-

mitted, these crops to be. used in mid-

summer for pasture purposes. Finally

ed for market on a combination of soy

for feeding purposes. What Mr. Ris-

tow has done others can do, and his

talks throughout the state are inspir-

ing other light soil farmers in the pro-

duction of better crops.



In Oneida county many light soil

farmers are following a different sys-

tem. These men do not want to fol-

low dairy farming but grow only cash





 





crops. They use a three-year rotation





of grain (rye or cats) seeded to clo—_ '





ver, clover during the following year,

all of which is plowed under to fur-

nish humus for the succeeding potato

crop. A 28-4 or a 3-8-6 fertilizer is

applied, varying in amount from five-





-.hundred to one thousand pounds’per





acre on the potato crop. This rota-

tion supplies the necessary humus and

plant food and has proven profitable.

A few of these farmers are changing

to a four-year. rotation by introducing

soy beans for seed as the fourth crop,

thereby having three cash crops dur-

ing four years: two of the crops grown

being legumes which add nitrogen to

the soil. This four-year rotation also

more effectively prevents the develop-

ment of potato diseases, such as scab

and blight.



Another method followed by farmers

who rely on potatoes for the main

crop, but who

cows, is to raise beef cattle to consume





the roughage, such as corn, clover and '





soy beans. These men do not pasture

their stock but have two silos and feed

silage and some soiling crops during

the entire year. They are following

the same rotation, but plant corn in

place of the usual large acreage of p0~

tatoes. The corn cr0p receives either

a 2-12-2 or a 2-10~4 fertilizerand the

manure is applied on the grain crop

to aid in growing better grain and se—

curing a good stand of clover. With

the present scarcity of labor, a large

number of live stock farmers have

been forced to change from dairy

farming to the production of beef

cattle. '

Rotation of Crops.



Every farmer located on light soils

should plan and follow a definite ro-

tation of crops. A good rotation of

crops should maintain and to a certain

extent increase the supply of nitrogen

in the soil, prevent the development

of insects and diseases, supply humus

and increase the water—holding capa-

city of the soil. A two-year-rotation of

rye and soy beans has been discussed.

On some farms a two—year rotation of

corn and soy beans has been used but

has not proven very successful.



The rotation which has given the

best returns in crop yields is a three-

year rotation of grain seeded to c10-

ver, clover during the following year,

then corn or potatoes during the third





year. The data in the table on this

page, showing the relative value of

different rotations was secured on





light sandy soil in Marinette county





from 1909 to 1918.





The accompanying table clearly in-‘





dicates that the three-year rotation

has given the largest yields of corn

and potatoes per acre. The five-year



rotation with land three





 





 

 





 





years in alfalfa is a close

second. The growing of

clover and timothy on

light soils is a practice

Which is not conducive to

the productiOn of a good

crop. Neither does the

Champion Mobel Hengerveld, Owned





HE agricultural program of Liv-



ingston county is no recently de-



signed affair; it has been work‘

ed out by evolution and the practical

guidance of the county’s best farmers.

It is hard to analyze the farming situ~

ation without continually referring to

the Holstein—Friesian cow, for no other

one thing is so strongly identified with

whatever progress the county has

made.



Crop rotations are nothing new; the

county has been farming by them for

years. The prevailing rotationflcom,

small grains, clovers and grasses—oc-

casionally is stretched to a five or six-

year program by prolonging the time

of any of the factors involved.



When County Agent Fred S. Dunks

started work he proceeded to be a

Roman. After he got the feel of things

he began to devise means to expand,

improve and possibly take the lead

among his fellow Romans. By the

time the new Farm Bureau movement

came along the farmers were willing

to join hands with the work, for he

had grown up with them, so to speak.

He was one of them. That is a lesson

every young county agent should learn.





Probably all young men just out of

agricultural college do not understand

these things, but in many years’ trav-

eling in old established farming sec-

tions the “Circuit Rider" has found





the prevailing system of farming—the





most successful system—is simply a

natural outcome of local conditions.

Years ago when the farming game

was new, many Livingston county

farmers raiseda lot of corn and small

grain and sold it. They don’t prac-

tice that system much today. Why?

Simply because the farms yield better

returns when cattle and other kinds

of stock are fed. These changes did

not come in one year—or in five'years.

A process of slow evolution brought

them about. The prevailing systems

of farming in any of our old and thick—

ly settled counties come pretty near

being the most profitable to adopt. No

matter what any over-enthusiastic re—

adjustor may say to the contrary.

Now let me explain this point with

a short account of what I ran up

against in Livingston county three

years ago. Along in the summer I

spent a few weeks near Crooked Lake

with Frank E. Meyer. Frank kept ten

or twelve cows and sold milk. We

happened to go over to East Lansing

to a dairymen’s meeting, and heard

Clark Reed, John Ketcham and D. D.

Aitken tell how every dairy cow in

Michigan was losing from $20 to $60 a

year for 'her owner. _ On ”the way home

I said to Meyer: “Why don’t you sell

your cows and sell the feed you are

wasting on them? Each cow is put-





ting you in had from $20 to $60 per

year. That isn't good business.”





He scratched his head and grinned





, i'f“Wish I had about ten or a dozen

moreof them cows.” he said. “because,





by Fred Each and Tracy Crandail.





the more cows I lose that much a year

on the more income tax I’ll have to

pay next spring.”



Now, Meyer was a pretty good farm-

er. Things were kept up in good shape

and his home was tidy and snug. So

I didn’t argue with him. I began to

go over Reed, Ketcham and Aitken’s

figures. By all the rules of mathe~

matics they were right, but somehow

or other they did not allow for the

fact that the cows were cared for dur-

ing a large part of the year on time

that otherwise would have been wast-

ed, and they didn’t explain that the

cows consumed a lot of cheap coarse

feeds. The real story was not in the

figures, but underneath Meyer’s grin.



Perhaps I am going

a little too far in this

business of disputing

figures, getting person-

al about it. But I

merely want to show

that the farmers of

Livingston county

have worked out a sys-

tem of farming that is

not so bad after all,

and that their crop

growing system is

about the most profit-

able combination for

that section of the

county.



In the first place,

Livingston c o u n t y

farms are pretty well balanced and

contain sufficient acreage to follow

general crop growing, dairying and

sheep raising without searching about

for more land. The farms in the coun-

ty average well over one hundred

acres in size and a comparatively small

preportion of the are operated by

tenants. The dairy cow and the silo

are stimulating the growing of corn

and legumes and gradually discourag-

ing the sale of grain and hay. Living

ston county can grow corn, alfalfa and

clover to perfection when proper meth-

ods of soil preparation are practiced.





One serious obstacle militating

against a more general use oflalfalfa

and clover has been the high cost of

lime and the distance of some of the

farms from suitable railroad points.

This is one of the reasons why Mr.

Dunks has been so active in locating

marl deposits and devising means for

getting the material out at a low cost.

He has succeeded in locating many

rich marl beds, but the scarcity of la-

bor and the difliculty of handling the

marl at a reasonably low cost has held

up some of his most valuable projects.



Another of Mr. Dunk’s pet hobbies

is the growingof Grimm alfalfa, and a





‘ride through the county with him is





convincing. evidence that no farmer

can afford to grow common alfalfa

when he can secure Grimm seed.-





Some of the fields where the Grimm





and common alfalfa are growing side





by side are striking examples of what





 





NOTHER matter which has claim-



ed considerable of Mr. Dunk’s at-

tention is the use of acid phosphate. Ina

several field tests the use of two hun-

dred pounds of acid phosphate per acre

has increased the yield of wheat and

rye from nine to twelve bushels per

acre. Most of these tests have been

made on dairy farms where the fertil-

ity is pretty well maintained by the

use of farm' manures. All of which

goes to prove that thousands of farm-

ers who depend upon farm manure and

legume crops to maintain soil fertility

could find handsome profits in balanc-

ing up their supply of plant food by

the purchase and judicious use of acid

phosphate.



In explaining his efforts along these

lines Mr. Dunks said: ”One of our

greatest problems here in Livingston

county is that of producing more and





.N‘N,





 





Mr. Dunks and His Two Fine .Boys.





better roughage feeds for our cattle.

We are buying too much and growing

too little, both of feeds and fertility.





My idea is to get our land in shape.





to grow alfalfa and; clover and feed

more stock. I am sure that our farm-

ers can turn the trick of producing

more good feed for their cows and in-

creasing the fertility of their farms

under a simple system of crop rotation

calling for clever or alfalfa every third

year. The liberal use of lime and acid

phosphate, and the careful handling of

farm manures will work wonders with

most of our soils. All of my demon-

stration plots indicate that we are on

the right track, and more and more

farmers ‘are planning their rotation





.,





 





along the prescribed lines. As the sys-

tem becomes more thoroughly estab-

lished more grain feeds can be grown

on the farms, but for the first few

years about all we can accomplish is

to improve roughage feeds and get the

land in shape to grow larger crops of

corn, clover and alfalfa."





RIDING from Howell to Brighton,

and back around the lakes; then





over to Fowlerville and Pianney and _





around by Oak Grove, Cohoctah and

around to Fenton and back to Howell

we counted dozens of new silos, from

many barns we saw trolleys, of feed

and manure carriers. At more than a

dozen farms we heard the popping of

gas engines that were milking the

cows. There are telephones every-

where and in many fields tractors

were plowing and fitting the ground

for corn and beans. These changes

are coming so fast that they almost

staitle us. And then the way the

farmers are organizing for business

makes it hard for some of them, even

as middle- aged men, to realize that

they are not keeping up with the times.



A few years ago there was plenty

of time to consider everything, but to-

day things are moving so fast that the

fellows who can’t get in step with the

spirit of the times are sure to be lost.





‘ in the race. And some of these chang-





es are changing the farmer’s viewpoint

of his fellow farmers. The independ-

ence of a- few farmers in every com-

munity is going to separate them from

other farmers as far as they are now

separated from city people. These

present differences are but ripples on

the surface of a deep stream that is

changing the whole channel of agricul-

tural progress. Their selfish inde-

pendence is going to separate them

from other farmers as far as they are

now separated from other'classes. In

the immortal words of the editor of

the “Independent Rip-saw":. “He that

is not for us is against us."



The membership drive of the County

Farm Bureau brought more than four-

teen" hundred farmers into the fold.-

Since then Mr. Dunks has been busy

perfecting his organization projects.

The county is thoroughly organized for

business, and every farm in the com:—

ty is within easy distance of some co-

operative association. And all of these

cooperative projects are organized on

the nonprofit basis so that there will

be no troubles to smooth out when

they affiliate with their county and

State Farm Bureaus. Livingston coun—

.ty- is the first county to be organized

along the non—profit lines.

Livingston county made a wise se-

lection of the members of the County

Farm' Bureau Executive Board. J. G.

(Jimmy) Hayes, the president, is one

of the live, progressive young men of

the county. Always ready to join

hands with his fellow farmers in any

undertaking which will aid in bettering

the conditions of his community, he

has won a host of friends. For eight

another popular leader. in things that

go to make his community a better

place in which to live and conduct a

farming business. On his one hundred

and ninety-acre farm near Howell he

has developed one of the best Holstein

herds in the countyand found time to

aid his fellow farmers in their cooper-

ative undertakings. At present he has

about twenty well selected females in

his herd, and for a sire is using Util-

ity Hengerveld Segis Lad, a bull noted

for his individuality and whose dam at

three years of age made 30.28 pounds

of butter in seven days. Mr. Witty is

a man of sound judgment and he has

the confidence of the farmers of his

community. ~





Then we come to H. W. Norton, sec-

rotary and treasurer, the noblest Rom-

an of them all. Mr. Norton has five

hundred acres of land and maintains

a herd of about fifty Holstein cattle.

Mr. Norton was born in Livingston

county and has always taken an active

interest’in community problems. No

man has done more to encoUrage bet-.

ter farming and the development of the

County Farm Bureau than Horace

Horton. H. W. Horton & Son have

always aimed to produce healthy cat-

tle of good type and production. Their

herd is on the accredited list and the





 





Horace Norton’s Idea of the Holstein Field.





cows and heifers are all backed by





three or more generations of twenty to,





thirty-pound records. For more than

twenty years he has been actively

identified with the Holstein interests

of the county, and in all of that time

he has never allowed his breed-enthu-

siasm to overshadow his interests in

the welfare of the general farmer or

the man who milked a few grade cows.



Silas MunSeu‘\director,- owns and op-

erates a fine farm of one hundred and

seventy acres five and a half miles

from Howell. He has always been an

active booster for everything of a co-

operative nature, and a prominent fig-

ure at all Holstein meetings in the

county and state. At present he has a

herd of forty Holstein cattle, and his

herd sire is College Butter Boy, a son





 

 





   





 





of Ypsiland Sir Korndyke De K01, and

from that good cow College Belle But-

ter Lass, who made eleven hundred

pounds of butter from twenty-five thou-

sand pounds of milk in one year. Mr.

Munsell can be depended upon to sup-

port any movement calculated to build

up his community and put farming on

a better business basis. His experi-

ence as a breeder of cattle has con-

vinced him that cooperation is the sal-

vation of—the farmer in these days

when every other interest is organiz-

ing for business.



M. J. Roche, director, breeds Hol-

stein cattle of popular blood lines and

operates his two hundred and forty-

acre farm near Pinckney. His herd

numbers about twenty head. and his

present sire, King Mutu~

a1 Burke, whos e two

nearest dams average ov-

er twenty-one thousand

pounds of milk a year

and one thousand one

hundred and forty-three

pounds of butter, is one

of the real good bulls of

the county. His sire’s

dam was a world record

two-year—old, and his

dam’s mother was the

world's record ten-year-

old cow, and made forty-

one—pounds of butter in

seven days. Mr. Roche has

been breeding Holstein cattle more

than twelve years and has made rec-

ords up to twenty-five thousand pounds

of milk a year on his farm. Mr. Roche

has always lived in Livingston county

and his friends freely predict that he

will make a twenty-five thousand

pound a year record on the newly or—

ganized executive board. He is in fine

conditionf‘or the official test.





C. P. Lyons, director, owns and op-

erates a hundred and twelve-acre farm

six miles from Fenton. Mr. Lyons has

a herd of about thirty choice Holstein

cattle and uses sires that average well

above the thirty-pound standard. He

is one of the best farmers in the coun-

ty and has always been a booster for

the Farm Bureau. Last year his Red

Rock wheat averaged above forty

bushels per acre. Always alive to his

community’ 5 needs and willing to join





hands with any effort to put farming'





on a business basis Mr. Lyons is sure

to prove a strong man on the execu~

tive board.





Clifford Copeland, director, owns and

operates a fine farm of one hundred

and “forty-three acres a few miles

northeast of Fowlerville. He practices

general farming and stockraising. Mr.

Copeland is a native son and has al-





.ways been interested in the welfare of





his township and county. He is pres-

ident of the Fowlerville Cooperative

Association and a worker for the farm-

er’s interests. ‘





C. C. Olsen, director, is a young farm-

er with progressive ideas and is not

stock farm of one'hundred and thirty«

eight acres, where he practices general

farming and milks a small dairy herd.

Mr. Olsen’s farm is seven and a half

miles northeast of Fowlerville. He

worked hard in organizing the Farm.

Bureau and will work harder to make

it a success.





Asel Stowe, director, practices genv

eral farming and stock raising on his

one hundred acre farm eight miles

southwest of Fowlerville. He was for-

merly on the county board of supervis-

are and is thoroughly qualified to get

up and fight for the farmer’s interests.

Mr. Stowe has been a booster for the

Farm Bureau and can be depended up-

on to leave no stone unturned to make

it of service to the farmers of his com-

munity, as well as Livingston county

and the state of Michigan.





Fred S. Dunks, county agent, gradu-

ated from M. A. C. in 1905, practiced

commercial chemistry for seven years,

served as state seed inspector, operat-

ed his farm in Branch county and

came to Livingston county two years

ago last April. Dunks is thoroughly

qualified for the work and is regarded

as one of the leading soil experts of

the state. His work along soil and

crop improvement lines has been of

great benefit to the farmers of Living—

ston county. No countyin Michigan

has more types of soil to deal with

and Mr. Dunk’s knowledge of soils

makes him especially well qualified to

serve the farmers of his county.





HE Holstein—Friesian cow has been-





a prominent factor in the farming

interests of Livingston county. In the

number of registered Holsteins the

county ranks second in the United

States. A few hours’ ride will take

you to more than fifty herds. It is

obviously impossible to tell in detail

all one sees in a day in Livingston

county, when every stop furnishes ma-

terial enough to merit a separate story.

The best this narrator can do is to

race sketchily along, trying to keep in

sight‘of his quick-thinking and lively-

moving mentors, whose natural habitat

this Livingston county is, and whoso

eat, drink and merriment is modem-

day Holstein-Friesian lore. Much could

be said of the pioneer breeders of

the county. But we must not take time

to think of yesterday. There is too

much to say of today, Holsteinically

speaking.





Our first stop was with Frank E.

Pless, and at once we were hang up

headed by the sire, King Pontiac Segis

HEN congress adjourned on

‘m’ittee or on the calendar" or





the house or senate, several bills or





the farmer’s standpoint. Among these

measures that failed to pass were the

Capper-Volstead bill legalizing farm~

ers’ cooperative marketing associa-

tions, the KenyonrAnderson packer

control bills, the cold storage bill, the

Vestal basket standardization bill, the

pure fabrics bills, and the Kahn-Wads-

worth Muscle Shoals nitrate plant op-

eration bill. But much progress has

been made with all these bills, and

they are in an advantageous position

for early action in the next session.



Farmers are expressing much to

gret that these very important meas-

ures did not get through during the

session just ended, especially the pack-

er control and collective bargaining

legislation. T. C. Atkeson and A. M.

Loomis, of the National Grange, Gray

Silver, of the American Federation of

Farm Bureaus, Charles M. Lyman, of

the National Board of Farm Organiza-

tions, R. F. Bower, of the National

Farmers’ Union, and other Washing-

ton representatives of farmer organi-

zations have made an aggressive and

far from fruitless fight for the success

of these bills. They have faithfully

and intelligently represented their or-

ganizations-at the hearings and confer-

ences with congressional committees,

and it is evident that they have made

a good impression upon congress,

which will be a valuable aid in pro-

moting farm legislation during the

coming session.





N reviewing the work of this con-



gress, the Washington representa—

tives of the National Grange say that

“a comparison .with the twenty-nine

points in the National Grange 1egisla~

tive piogram, adopted at the 1919 an-

nual session of the ciganizati'on, dis—

closes the fact that not in a single pai-

ticula1 did congress enact a law, or

approve a. policy which is in opposi«

tion to or contrary to the spirit of any

declaration of the National Grange.

In four great constructive measures

congress acted in accord with the

Grange statement as to wise and ex-

ped1ent public policy. The first of

these was the railroad legislation, re-

turning the roads to private ownership

and private operation under govern-

ment control; the second was contin-

ued support of the Land Bank system

in spite of the attacks on this system

in the courts and before public opin—

ion; the third was the enactment of

a merchant marine law ending govern-

ment ownership and Operation of mer-

chant ships, and the fourth the enact-

ment of a national budget .system.

Other bills pa5sed include the army

reorganization bill with no compulsory

military training, the public lands leas-

ing bill, the Sterling anti-sedition bill

and Johnson bill for excluding and de

porting undesirable aliens, the Edge

foreign corporation financing bill, the

Piatt Federal Reserve Bank Act

amendments, the civil service and full-

er pension bills, and the postal wage

increase bill.”





N an interview, Gray Silver, of the

American Federation of Farm Rd-

reaus, says: “I regret that congress

adjourned without enacting much

needed agricultural legislation. Liv-

discussing this matter, Representative

Louis T. McFadden, chairman of the

house committee on banking and cur-

rency, says: “The rural credit bill be-

fore the banking and currency commit-

tee provides for the establishment or

a cooperativesystem of farm credits

in this country, based on personal se~

curity. it provides for one central

bank, forty-eight branches, one for

each state, and innumerable local as-

sociations. The central bank will have

a capital of $25,000,000, with a sink-

ing fund created to reimburse the gov-

moment for the capital advanced.

Each branch will have a. capital of

$50, 000



The rural credit bill is said to he

clude in its provisions the best fea;

tures of the European system. It fol;

lows the French plan in limiting the

activities of the proposed banks to the

use of bills of exchange, or to banking

with bills, as distinguished from the

system of banking with deposits, thus

enlarging the outlet for productive as“:

In a short time we were at the farm

of Fred RiSCh, who recently made a





- record of Q3133, pounds of butter in





seven days with the firSt‘Holstein heif-

er dropped on his farm. He has two

'hundred and thirty-two acres and his

herd averages about twenty head. His

present herd sire, Champion Mobel

Hengerveld, is a young hull of choice

breeding and great individual merit,

having won several first prizes in

strong competition, his sire is by a son

of the thirty~six~pound cow, AAggie

Pauline Sarcastic, and out of the for-

mer world’s record four-year-old cow,

Mabel Segis Korndyke. His dam has

made a good record every year since

she first freshened; her seven-day rec-

ord is 31.32 pounds of butter, 587.7

pounds of milk. Tracy Crandall, of

Howell, owns .a half interest in this

sire.

Our next stops were at the farms of

Tracy and Merle Crandall, sons of

that veteran breeder, Frank Crandall,

who has such a prominent .part in the

making of early Holstein history in

Livingston county. While operating

different farms and maintaining separ-

ate herds they are working as broth-

ers should work in the business. Each

maintains a herd of about twenty fe-

males and for sires they are using

King Korndyke Kalmuck, a grandson

‘of Rag Apple Korndyke 8th, and out

‘of Niva Kalmuck, 45.18 pounds of but-

ter in seven days. They have devel-

oped females With records of from six





. teen‘ to 32. 82 pounds or butter in seven





‘days.



Our next stop was at the farm of

Charles Heeg & Son, four miles from

Howell. They'recently sold Rubert~

dale Flint Ferndale AAggie for $3,000

at public sale. Their herd contains

about twenty-five females and they are

breeding a number of them to Glenn

has recently purchased a. half interest

in Mr. Roche’s sire. Here we found

seventeen heifers, .all from credible

semi-official record cows, that "would

grace any herd in the country. These

heifers when mated With' a sire of such

wonderful breeding.should produ‘ce a

wonderful crop of calves.



Another breeder in that section is

Lynn Hendee, who keeps twenty-two

Holsteins and has for a sire Prince

Posch Korndyke Wayne, a twenty-

eight-pound bull.' Mr Hendee also has

a flock of seventy registered Black Top

Sheep, and a' herd of excellent Duroc

Jersey swine. ,



At Fowlerville we visited Robin

Carr, who has a farm of one hundred

and sixty acres and a herd,of thirty

Holsteinsf Here we found 'type and

quality standing out on every individ-

ual. Mr. Carr’s present herd sire is

Maple Plane Prince. Among his fe-

males are several young cows of his





own breeding that have'made records _





about twenty—five pounds of butter in

seven days. Mr. Carr is astickler for

type and no sloping rumps are in evi~

dence in his herd.



We next visited the Maple Lane

Farm of Guy Wakefield, where some

ofpthe best records in Livingston coun-

ty have been made. Over at the farm

of Malachy Roche, two miles east of

Fowlerville, records up to 30.06 pounds

of butter have been made in seven

days. 2



Six miles north of Fowlerville we

visited the hundred and fifty-acre farm

-. Will you please explain construction

of roads under Covert Act? What tar

as are levied on the farms fronting

the road? Per cent and time? How

far each side of road can taxes be lev-

‘ied, and per cent? Where a road is

all in one county, can a tax be levied

in adjoining county? ,



Eaton 'Co. " E. H.



. The act referred to makes provision

for the building of roads in practically

the same manner as drains are con-

structed under the general drain law.

If the road is situated entirely within





‘ one county, a petition signed by the





owners of not less than sixtyper cent

of the lineal frontage on the road is





' presented to the board of county road





commissioners. If the district particu-

larly benefited by the improvement, or

the read itself, lies in two or more

counties, or the road to be improved

is a part of the trunk line system, the

petition is presented to the state high-

way commissioner. .

found sufficient. an examination of the

road is made and if it is determined

that the improvement is necessary for

the public interest a survey is made

and specifications are prepared with

estimates of the cost of the road. A

hearing is had of all parties interested

who are given an opportunity to pre-

sent objections to the making of the

improvement. [hatter such hearing,

the board of county road commission-

ers, or the state highway commission-

er, are of the opinion that the improve-

ment should be made, the final order

of determination is made; and the cost

of the improvement is assessed upon

land particularly benefited and upon

the townships and counties at large

affected.





No assessment, may, however, be

levied against the county at large un-





4 less the same is operating under the





county road system. There is no set





1' rule with reference to the assessments

to be levied on property along the road.





The ‘theory of the law is that each

parcel shall be assessed in the propor-

tion that it is benefited by the im-

provement. Likewise, there is no spe-

cific limitation as to the distance from

the road that property can be specifi-

cally taxed. If a road is entirely with-

in one county, it is quite possible that

land situated in an adjoining county

may be specifically benefited and hence

liable to a specific tax. In such a case

the proceeding is conducted by the

state highway commissioner rather

than by the board of county road oom-

missioners in the county where the

road is.——L. W. CARE, Deputy State

Highway Commissioner.





 





WEAK DUCKLINGS.





 





Will you please tell me what is the

matter with my Pekin- ducklings? They

do fine until about a month old, then

begin to lose appetite, droop, get weak

in legs and die. I keep them in grassy

pens until about. three weeks old, then

let them out. I feed equal parts bran,

corn meal and middlings with a little

yellow sand in a wet mash four times

a day. They have a pile of gravel to

pick at. They always have clean

drinking water, but none to swim in.

They were hatched under hens and

hens care for them.

.“The use of a truck on Goodyear Cord Tires hasirevolutionized my farming

methods. It- picks up scattered crates of cabbage and lettuce very fast and

hurries them over the fields to roads and over the roads to the ‘railroad— the





shortest route in the shortest time.





Equals three teams with three drivers;





improves and-economizes.”—S. P. James, Truck Farmer, Bartow, Florida





AREVIEW‘of much evidence, of the kind

presented here, makes plain that Good-

year Cord Tires on trucks equip them to

improve farming methods and reduce costs

quite generally.





It makes'clear that the change from slow haul- ,





ing, either by teams or solid-tired truck‘s, goes

even farther than such improvement and sav—

mg because the daily routine is made more





. agreeable.





Many-farmers say that never again will they

endure tedious drivmg and the failure to get

home until after sundown; they now know the

spryéness, comfort and reliability of the sturdy

cor s.





-In every part of the country today farmers’





motorized work. is humming faster, the crops





are moving more smoothly, the profits are

growing fatter since every haul is quickened

and cushioned by the big Goodyear Cord

Tires. -





This has followed the development of Good—

y’ear Cord construction Out of that careful

endeavor which protects our good name and

which, in this case, provides the strength and

suppleness leading to the success of pneumatic

truck tires.

and the increased value of trucks released by

them from solid tire handicaps, are described

The Colonel laughed with a fair imis

tation of sincerity and tolerant amuse-

ment. “My dear, that is no mystery

to me. There are men who, finding it

impossible or inadvisable to make a

physical attack upon their enemy,~flnd





ample satisfaction in poisoning his fav-





orite dog, burning his house, or heat-

ing up one of his faithful employee.

Cardigan picked on Rondeau for the

reason that a few days ago ‘he tried

to hire Bandeau away from me—of—

tel-ed him twenty-five dollars a mcnth

more than I was paying him. Of

course, when Rondeau‘ came to me

with Cardigan’s proposition, I prompt





‘ ly met Cardigan’s bid and retained





Rondeau; consequently Cardigan hates

us both and took the earliest opportu-

nity to venthis spite on us.”





The Colonel sighed and brushed the

dirt and leaves from his tv‘veeds. “Thun:

der,” he continued philosophically, “it's

all in the game, so why worry over it?

And why continue to discuss an‘un-

pleasant topic, my dear?”



A groan from the Black Minorca

challenged her attention. “I think

that man is badly hurt, Uncle,” she

suggested. ’



“Serves him right,” he returned

coldly. “He tackled that cyclone fully

twenty feet in advance of the others;

if they’d all closed in together, they

would have pulled him down. I’ll have

that cholo and Rondeau sent down

with the next trainload of logs to the

company hospital. They're a poor lot

and deserve manhandling—”



They paused, facing toward the tim-

ber, from which 'came a voice, power-

ful, sweetly resonant, raised in'song.

Shirley knew that half-trained bari-

tone, for she had heard it the night

before when Bryce Cardigan, faking

his own accompaniment at the pianb,

had sung for hera number of carefully

expurgated lumberjack ballads, the

lunatic humor of which had delighted

her exceedingly. She marvelled now

at his choice of minstrelsy, for the

melody was hauntingly plaintive—the

“Light-hearted devil, isn‘t he 1’" the

Colonel commented approvingly. “And ‘

his voice isn’t half bad. Just singing .

to be defiant, I suppose."





Shirley did not answer. But a few





minutes previously she had seen the . j





singer ..a raging fury, brandishing an ,

axe and driving men before him. She ,

could not understand. And presently _

the song grew faint among the timber _

and died away entirely. ?



Her uncle took her gently by the

gayly.

desperate situation from which he had

just escaped; he thought only of Shir-

.x‘l ami that’s Why I waist.- to tell

about one or two today. Some folk

may not believe that three times three

is nine, but that doesn’t bother ”the

multiplication table' a particle, and

three times three goes _. merrily on,

making nine all the time- And the

missionaries go steadily on, the path-

finders of civilization, whether certain

individuals believe in them or not.





- The fact is, that missions. constitute





the greatest

times.



There is no story greater than that

of Paton among the cannibals of the

New Hebrides, or Mackay, the civil

engineer who went as missionary to

Uganda, of Gilmour, who went alone

to work among the Mongols, of the

founders of Robert College. in the

heart of Turkey, 6r of Mary Slessor,

the little Scotch woman who ruled

whole tribes of savages in Africa for

many years. I believe in mis‘sions be-

cause the founder of Christianity be-

lieved in them, and second, because of

what missions have actually done.

Some people still believe that the mis-

sionary is a long-haired person with

heavenly views of life, Who goes to

Africa and teaches the natives how to

repeat the twenty-third psalm. And of.

course, the missionary does teach the

natives how to repeat the twenty—third

psalm and a great deal besides, of a

purely religious nature. But he also

shows the native that religion has to

do with all life and that the first thing

he must. do now, is to learn how to live

a righteous and a useful life.





romances‘ of modern





FEW years ago, there went to



China an Irishman with red hair.

That is, he was Irish by descent, but

American by nationality and a mission-

ary by choice. He had not been in

China long before he found himself

face to face with famine, and after

famine, the plague. People were dying

by thousands.‘ If he went along the

street and lifted up a mat, under the

mat was sure to be a dying man. The

people were dying, for the floods had

destroyed the .crops, and their weak-

ened condition made them a ready

prey of disease. We must teach them

how to grow better crops, thought our

missionary. But,.alas! the soil was

incapable of yielding crops. The trees

had been cut centuries before, and the

fertility of the .soil had been washed

into the lakes and rivers. Moreover,

there were the graveyards. Supersti-

tion does not permit the Chinese to

move the dead, lest something dread-

ful should happen. The best 'sites for





done had brought to his firm mouth a.

nobility that presaged his old whim-

sical smile—to his brown eyesa beam~

ing light ofconfidence and pride. 7, .

The climax had been reached—and

passed; and the result had been far'

from the disaster he had painted in his

mind’s eye ever since the knowledge

had come to him that he was doomed





‘to battle to, a knockout with Colonel





Pennington, and that one of the ear-

liest fruits of hostilities would doubt-

less. be the loss of Shirley Sumner’s

prized friendship. Well, he had lost

her friendship,“ but. a still small voice

whispered to him that the loss w'éis not

irreparable—whereat he swung his alxe

as a headmaster swings his baton; be

was glad that he had started the war





'3: and was now free to fight it out un:

brought him out





   





teries. mBuf. this Irish—Amended lair

sionary Would not giVe up.' He said

living people were of no more conse-

quence than dead peoplef and he actuv'

ally got permission to move some of

these graveyards.

that frequently a grave had no econ-x

pant, for the dead had been buried so

long ago, that no trace of the body ‘re‘





mained. But the soil would not pro.- «





duce. It was hopelessly washed. Then

the misison'ary brought forth his pet

scheme.

to dig the muckfrOm the shores and

the bottom of a nearbyclake, and scat-

ter it on the barrenhillsldes. That

took time and it was mighty hard work.





But‘ at last it was done, whereupon‘





tree planting began. Thousands and

thousands of vigorous young trees

were planted; fruit trees of all sorts,

biack walnut, black locust, yellow pine,

white pine, maple, and others. Things

were going well, and the missionary

was happy. At least ‘those partiCular

hillsides would be washed by the win-

ter rains no more.





HEN something happened. An old

. woman was burning paper at the

grave of one of her ancestors, and ac-

cidentally started a. fire that spread

over nearly all the territory that had

been planted to trees. But the mis-

sionary did not resign and return to

America. NO, he. said he had made a

mistake in planting, and now he would

plant right. There should be a fire-

break every little way, so that if a fire

started again, it would not jump 'over

this fire—break. And once more, as if

by magic, the trees were planted, and

once more the mountain side‘ was

green. And every few rods there is

now a forest keeper living, with his

family, who raises crops in the open

stretches and keeps jealous guard over

the young trees. But the story does

not end here. For the government

had been watching this missionary,

and one day'His Excellency Chaig

Chien, the Minister of Agriculture and

Commerce, came and planted a tree

on the missionary’s grounds, and thus

established a national Arbor Day for

all China. What this will mean to

China. only those who have been there

can estimate. It will mean that bar-

ren hillsides will be planted to trees,

and that land‘ that has been idle for

centuries. will begin to bear. It will

mean, too, that more and more floods

will becontrolled, for the winter rains

will sink into the soil, and not rush

down the hillsides into the rivers, to

carry death and destruction 'into tens

of thousands of people. What do you

think of a. missionary like this?

woedsmen’ s shanties, Bryce- Went.

' Bogs barked at him, for he was a

gistrmger in his own camp; children,





‘ playing in the dust, gazed upon him *





owlishly. At the most pretentious

shanty on the street Bryce turned in.

He had never seen it before, but he

, knew it to be the woods- boss' 5 home,



for unlike. its neighbors the house was

painted with the coarse red paint that

is used on box-cars, while a fence,

- made of' fancy pointed pickets painted

white, inclosed a tin:r garden in front

of the house AS‘ Bryce came through

the gate, a young girl rose from where





. she knelt in a bed of freshly trans- . '





planted pansies. .

' Bryce lifted his hat. “Is Mr. Mc-

Tavish at home 1’” he asked. ’



She nodded. “He cannot see any-

body," she hastened ‘to add. “He's

810k ” .



“I think he’ll see me. And I wonder

if you’ re Moira McTavish."



A “Yes, I'm Moira.” ‘



“I'm Bryce Cardigan.”



A look of fright crept into the girl's

eyes. “Are you—Bryce Cardigan?”

she faltered, and looked at him more

closely. “Yes, you’re Bryce. You've

changed—but then it’s been. six years

since we saw you last, Mr. Bryce.”



He came toward her with out-

stretched hand. “And you were a lit:

tle girl when I saw you last. Now-—

~ you’re a woman.” She grasped his

hand with the frank heartiness of a

man. “I’m mighty glad to meet you

again, Moira. I just guessed who you

were, for 'of course I should never

have recognized you. When I saw you

last, you were your hair in a braid

down your back.”



“I'm twenty years old,” she informed

him. .



“Stand right where you are until I

have looked at you,” he commanded,





and backed off a few feet, the better





to contemplate her.



He saw a girl slightly above medium

height, tanned, robust, simply gowned

in a gingham dress. Her hands were

soiled from her recent labors in the

pansy-bed, and her shoes were heavy

and c’Oarse; yet neither hands nor feet

were large or ungraceful. Her head

' was well formed; her hair, jet black

and of unusual lustre and abundance,

was parted in the middle and held in

an old-fashioned coil at the nape of a

neck the' beauty of which was revealed

by the low cut of her simple frock.

Moira was a decided brunette, with

that wonderful quality of skin to be

seen only among brunettes who have

roses in their cheeks; her brow was

broad and spiritual; ’in her eyes, large,

black, and listrous. there was a brood-

ing tenderness not untouched with sor-

row—some such expression, indeed, as

da ‘Vinci put in the eyes of his Mona





‘ Lisa. Her nose was patrlcian, her face '





oval; her lips, full and red, Were slight-

ly parted in the adorable Cupid’s bow

which is the inevitable heritage of a

short upper lip; her teeth were white

as Pariah marble; and her full breast

was rising and falling swiftly, as if she

labored under suppressed excitement.





So delightful a picture did Moira

McTavish make that Bryce forgot all

his troubles in her sweet presence. ,“By

the Gods, Moira," he declared earnest

1y, “you’re a, peach! When I saw you

last, you were awkward and leggy, like

a colt. I’m sure you weren’t a bit good-

.looking. /And 'now you're the most



' ravishing young lady ‘ in seventeen

, counties. By jingo, Moira, you” re a

HE world is divided into .two



classes—those who do not like.



,to work and don’t; and those

who,don’t like to work, but do over-

time to take care of their own jobs

and those of the idlers. A' clever Club

wOman aptly dubbed the two classes

“Diggers” and “Shiners,” and paidher

respects in verse to the women who

always want to pour tea, while some-

one-else stays in the kitchen to keep

the kettle boiling. 'But we don’t need

to go into the clubs to see the distinc-

tion, we can find it in every family

that is large enough to boast of: four

or five members. There are always

some who slip out from under all the

hard work with the easy assurance

that “George,” or “Mary,” as the case

may be, will doflit, because they just

“love to work." ~ »



Maybe Mary doesn’t hate wbrk so

much as Phylis, but is that any reason

why she shouldn’t have some play

time? Probably Mary would be glad

of an hour or so to sit down and read

or do fancy work if someone else could

give up a. little of-their leisure and

'help her out. Because Mary staggers

along under burdens we wouldn’t want

to. carry, and always keeps ,a smiling

face, are we to assume it is because

she likes it Or because she has a. con-

science out of all proportion to her

size and does her work and ours out

of a mistaken sense of duty?



Here’s Aunt Mary, for instance. She

lives on a farm where butter and cream

and milk and eggs and fresh fruit and

vegetables don’t cost her a thing. They

just grow. She has a number of lov-

ing neices and nephews and sisters

and brothers living in cities and small

towns. As soon as school is out in

June, all thoughts turn fondly to Aunt

Mary. She just loves children. They

don’t bother her a bit. Besides, she

hasn’t anything in her house they can

hurt. So along about knee deep in

June, Sister Susie writes the children‘

are so anxious to see Aunt Mary she

has decided to let them come up for

a couple of weeks as soon as school

is out. ’



Brother John hates a- city Fourth,

with its noise, and his soul yearns for

country quiet. He drops a line, the

first in a year, saying that he and

“Mother” will run up. for the Fourth

with the kiddies. He leaves the city’s

din, but brings along enough crackers

and toy cannon fodder to turn the

peaceful Countryside into a miniature

“Marne.” Brother John goes home

after the holiday, but leaves “Mother”

and the boys for a little outing with

Mary. Sister’s Susie’s children are

there, and the children can have such

folloWed by a cousin or two with their!





descendants, even to the third and: :





fourth generation, and it isreally the

middle of September and fair time, be— '

fore Mary is sure of an empty house.



In between she is trying to can and

pickle and tend the garden. Keeping

the sewing and mending up is .out of-

the question. She has casually men-

tioned how darning and mending pile

up to firious and sundry of her guests

and even brought out/the basket and

started to mend one day, with the faint

hope that some one lof the women

would turn in and help. But when it

comes to mending the guests develop

a singular blindness and deafness.

They simply never see the work piled

up there, nor notice that Mary’s chil-

dren go buttonless, while Mary’s husg

band occasionally takes needleand

thread and does a bit of sewing for

himself.



Of course Mary loves company'and

is glad to see her friends. But Iiwon-

der if, she just loves to have the whole

family camp out on the farm every

summer. I wonder if she is so fond of

work that she really enjoys getting up

at daybreak and “digging” until dark,

while a, houseful of guests “shine” on

the' porch or in the lawn swing. I

wonder, too, if through the fall, winter

and spring, she enjoys working every

minute so that father and the children

can have the best to eat and wear, and

leisure for reading and play. Don’t

you think Mary would just love a, little

division of labor, a little help with -

picking up and cooking and dishwash-

ing so that she might have some of

the 'spare time?

stories and impossible-adventures? We ‘





 





are good lave stories. And there are

most interesting detective stories and

stories of adventure and fiction that

are founded on facts and instill only

the highest sentiment in the minds of

those who read them. \





There are several ways in which

high—class reading may be supplied.

Perhaps someone says, “How can we

tell what is good reading for our chil-





apply it‘ to every. periodical and book

that comes into your home and weed





 





to its standard. If any reading mat-i

ter develops higher ideals, a clearer

vision of life ; if it stimulatesyour am-

bition to succeed, develops a keener

appreciation of the joy of living, or a

clean, healthy sense of humor, it is fit





 





'reading for any person of any age;





provided it is suited to their under;

standing. 7 I

Some, people say they cannot afford

several dollars a year just for papers

for children. If it is helping to edu-

cate them and give them high ideals

in life, most people can afford much

more than that. However, for those

who really cannot afford to invest ex—

tra money in books or magazines there

are other ways. In nearly all states

every school district is entitled to a

good library and all books must be

chosen from a list sent out by the

state superintendent. Books have been

seen in some school libraries that

might much better have been in the

stove. The state traveling libraries

give free access to hundreds of vol-

umes of the best fiction, science, his-

‘tory, adventure, etc., that is published.





In a district where many of the par-

ents were foreign speaking people the

teacher brought several copies of some

of the best magazines to school and

interested her pupils in them. Then

she asked her pupils to each bring

what they could to help subscribe for

some of them. They secured enough

to pay for three of the best periodicals.

The pupils read them as regularly as

they came and the articles and news

events were used in the various class-

es. The primary grades cut out pic-

tures and pasted them in a number of

scrap books illustrating the seasons,l

occupations of the world, countries,

etc. The big plain letters on the cov-

ers and advertising pages were out out

in squares and used by the little tots





However, that is almost another sub-

ject. These are some of the things

that can be done to supply reading for

young people. Among the foreign

Speaking people the taste far good

reading must be acquired from the

reading put before them at school. If

a boy or girl does not care to read at

all- it is either because he has not been

properly taught to read printed words

or has never had any interesting mat-

ter put before him to read. In a case

like this if he is receiving no incentive

at school the parents should try to

obtain reading that will be interesting

and suited to the child's age.





Above all, boys and girls should be

taught to enjoy poetry.’ Let them

read it aloud frequently and learn to

'expreSS the meaning, not merely “sing

song" the words, and it is surprising

how soon they will begin to really

read poetry. If every person could be

impressed With the'fact that through

reading, almost more than any other

source, we receive our outlook upon

the world, how much more we would

read or what is really worth while.

bad dogs‘ in-Michigan, in the ordi-





. nary acceptation of ”the term, and the





new dog law will ultimately get some

of both kinds, if their owners don’t

«watch out. The thing to do is to

obey the law and get rid of the bad

dogs anyway. ‘All good dogs should be

licensed and looked after, 'just as the

law requires.



Here is a case of two good dogs in

one family. And the Michigan Farmer

beys and girls will be interested in

the picture. It is taken from life.



Pauline has heard her folks talking

about how all dogs were to be arrested

unless they had collars and license

to be in style and safety for the coin-

has delegated herself as guardian.

And you can easily see, from the look





ting on a. box with her back to the

fence, that she will fight until the last

dog catcher expires before any mei’e

'minion of the law can get her doggie.



And her little chum feels just the

same way about it. Pauline has ex-

plained the situation and the legal as-

pect of the‘case to him in words and

gestures that he readily understood.

He immediately took a quick hitch in

his loW’er garment and grabbed his re-

cently hatched puppy with, a. clutch

grateful words he got from father far





*‘more than repaid him for all that. How





it does lighten up a boy’s steps to

know father thinks he has done Well!



A1111 then, there were the section

bars. Some of the knives were worn}

dowu. to a point and would not do good

work. Father had bought a new box,

and Dick knockedevery one of those

peaked, worthless sections out and riv-

eted in bran new ones. That was sur—

prise number two for father, and by

this time he was beginning to wonder.

what would be the next thing his boy

had fixed up‘while he was away.



Dick had not done all the repair

work, however, as father soon learned.

Mary and Jess had had their thinking

caps on, too. In fact, father was no

more than out of sight when the boys

and girls held a council of war all by

themselves.



“What do you say, girlé, to our do-

ing some things father never would





expect us to do while he is gone? I





know we can learn how to use some of

the tools, so that we can do good work

with them. I’ll take the carpenter

tools and you the soldering kit and

things like that. It will be a little

harder for you than it will for me,

because I have tinkered with saws and

such things, but I don’t believe you

ever looked at the mending kit. I’ll

stick round, though, and help you out

when you get ready."



It did not take the girls long to get

ready after that. Before night they

had the soldering iron out and Amended

some bad places in milk pails and cans.

Dick caught them right at it, for they

did not wait for him to ”stick round."

“We'll show Dick we don’t need any





'of his help!" declared Jess bravely.





But they sweat over those milk cans a

lot more than Dick did while putting





. in the new pitman. The big drops just





trickled down their faces. It" was hot in

the kitchen and somehow they were

bungling things to handle. But they

did not show the white‘ feather, and

Dick smiled when they set the cans

and pails back on the milk platform.



“We '11 be fair about it, Dick. Mother

helped us some.’



“It is their job, though ” Mother in-

sisted, “and dcm’t you think they did

a good piece of work, Dick. ‘7”



“Should say they did. They'll be

hanging out a shingle pretty soon.”



“Alongside of yours’ Dick?"



And they had their laugh over it,

and the smiles and the kind words

they got from father were worth all

the sWeating and the burnt fingers.

Nor were the cans and the pails the

only things the girls mended. They

had. to borrow some of Dick’s carpen-

ter tools, and at first he was a bit

afraid to let them have them.



“You’ll have to be awfully careful

of them, girls,” he cautioned. “It's

such an easy thing to get saws on nails

and to dull the other things.” But





‘he need not have been so particular





about his warnings, as he soon learned.

tools was a caution. That was not the

any in the county. 2 . ,

Armstrong Brothers, on their ninety-

seven-acre farm five miles from Fowl-

.erville have a few Holstein cattle, but

their specialities are Poland China

hogs and Shropshire sheep.

0n the return trip to'I—Iowell we vis-

ited the farm of Jay B. Tooley, who

has developed several cows with rec-

lords of from twenty to twenty seven

p0 ds of butter in seven days. Mr.

To‘oley is using for a sire King Korn-

dyke Kalmuck, a son or the forty-five

pound cow, Niva Kalmuck. He is pres-

ident o: the Livingston County Hol-

stein Association and a live wire in the

Holstein game.





EAVING the Holstein trail we



drove over to Smith and Parkers,

four miles north of Howell, where we

found an excellent herd of about fifty

Jerseys. The senior herd sire is a

grandson of that‘famous sire, Jacobia

Irene, and the junior sire is from the

Tormentor and Pogis line of breeding.

They have been breeding Jerseys for

more than eight years and have a herd

of large, vigorous individuals. Their

farm consists of two hundred and sev-

enty acres and is equipped for hand-

ling the herd to good advantage.



Over near Crooked Lake, six miles

from Howell, on the road to Brighton,

we found Wallis Knapp rattling around

like a pea in a dishpan, on his two

hundred and sixty—five-acre farm. W.

W. is pretty busy these days with his

., farm and 'Shorthorn cattle, but he

’ found time to describe the breeding of

his Imported Scotch bull, Dainty

Prince. At present he has about thirty

.head of Scotch Shorthorns and a flock

of twenty-five Oxford sheep. Always

an active worker in the interests of

the Shorthorn breed, W. W. is getting

together a bunch of good cattle and

getting his farm in shape to enlarge

his business.



Further along the road we visited

W. B. McQuillan & Sons, who have an

‘excellent farm of two hundred and

thirty acres devoted to general farm-

ing and the breeding of Shorthorn cat-

tle and Shropshire sheep. At. the head

of. the herd is Butterfly Sultan, a.

Scotch bred ball of exceptional merit.

Their junior sire is Cloverleaf Augusta,

halt-brother to the young bull that sold

recently at Rosenberger & Sonsf sale

in Ohio for $5,100. All Present they

have about forty—three head' of Short-

horns on their farm.



Over the other side of Howell we

found William ’Hosley working his

three hundred and thirty-acre farm

alone. Mr. Hosley is breeding Short-

_horn cattle and conducting a general

limp-growing business. At the head

of hi's herd is a son of W. B. McQuil-

Ian's Butterfly Sultan. Mr. Hosley has

some excellent animals and will en-





large his herd as soon as his sons re1





turn from college and schools.

FIRST EDITION.





The market reports in this edition

were revised .and corrected-on .Tues-

day afternoon, June 15.





. WHEAT





The general outlook for the new

cr0p is favorable over the greater part

of the producing states. The market

for flour is easy but feeds hold steady

to firm. Detroit quotations are as fol-

lows:

CORN





Persistent buying of this grain gave

prices a swing upward at the opening

this week. Receipts have failed to in-

crease as much as had been expected.

Shippers are buying and the grain in

sight shows a generous shrinkage. A

little more rain is needed in the heavy

producing states. Local prices are:

OATS





Oats are in good demand, Supplies

are short and more or less crop dam-

age has been reported from Illinois,

lowa and Indiana. Local values are as

followszr



Cash No. 2 white. . . . . . . .5130

No. 3 white 1.29

No. 4White IIIOOIIOOOOO 1‘28





RYE .





The receipts of rye are meagre and

the market inactive at $2.20 per bushel

on the local market.





‘ BEANS





The bean situation in Michigan is

more promising for the season, due to

the heavy reduction in the acreage

planted in other bean-producing states

and serious damage by rains to, and

the greatly reduced acreage in the

Oriental crop. The wOrld’s visible

supply is lower than it has been for

years. At Detroit cash beans are q ot-

ed at $7.65 per cwt. Chicago’s mar et

is u changed with choice hand—picked

pea cans at $8@8.50, and red kidneys





at $14@15.

SEEDS





Market is easy and inactive with





prime red clover quoted here at $25.50»





per bushel; October $24; alsike $25.50





* and timothy $5.60.





FEEDS





Trade is steady to firm, being sup-

ported by a good demand. Quotations

are: Bran $58@59; standard middlings

$59@60; fine midlings $60@62; coarse

corn meal $75@77; cracked corn $85@

86; chopped feed $76@77 per ton in

100pound sacks.





HAY





The supply of hay is decreasing and

the market is firm with local prices as

follows: N0. 1 timothy $37.50@38;

standard and light mixed $36.50@37;

No. 2 timothy $35.50@36; No 1 mixed

and No El clover $35.50@36; straw at

$12.50@13 per ton in carlots.





,filPittsburgh.—Receipts of hay are al-





‘tbgether inadequate to supply the de-

mand No. 1 timothy $45@46; stand-

ard $44@45; No. 2, $43@44 per ton.





POTATOES I





Marketing of old potatoes is done





and the trade is now dependent upon B





shipments from the south. South Car;

--olina’s in stave barrels are bringing

mostly $15 for No. 1 and $13 for No.

2 per barrel.





BUTTER





There is a good broad trade in but-

ter and prices have fluctuated. In Chi-

cago extra creameries are bringing

53%@54c and firsts 48®53c. ”Detroit’s

marketis firm and active with extra





. ereamery at 526053140 and prints ,at





52556135“. The Philadelphia market is

a little lower, with western cream‘ery





extra at 57c. .

EGGS ' ,

er. Local trading is on the same basis

same grade 'brings 42@44c in Phila-





delphia.

WOOL





There seems to be a rather wide-

spread belief among informed agricul-

tural leaders that the trade is placing

undue emphasis upon the bearish fea~

tures of the present situation, hoping

thereby to secure their wool supplies

at a price which will enable them to

realize good profits. Dealers’ predic-

tions of prices of manufactured goods

do not support these bearish conten-

tions. The following quotations are

given out by Boston dealers: Ohio

wool 750 for fine unwashed delaine;

700 for half-blood combing; 60c for

three-eighths-blood combing; 5&@550

for quarter-blood combing, and 64@656

for fine unwashed clothing.





GRAND RAPIDS





There is a decline in the bean mar-

ket this week, jobbers quoting white

at $6.50 per cwt and red kidney at $12.

They are of the opinion the bean acre-

age will be 75 per cent of that of last

year in Michigan. Milling companies

out the paying price of wheat 10 cents

per bushel this week. No. 1 red is

now $2.80 and N0. 1 white $2.78. The

winter wheat crop is making good pro-

gress, heading well Only a few local-

ities report the crop somewhat thin.

There is a further decline in the’hide

market and dealers state it is very

Weak, with indications of further drop

in prices. Present prices are: Cattle

No. 1 green 120; No. 2, 110; No. 1 calf

culls and common $4@6; yearling weth-

higher and somewhat scarce Farmers

sold on the city market this week for

$5.25 per bushel, field run. Farmers

are marketing hay freely this week

and the price has dropped to $28 per

ton for loose timothy. The strawber—

ry crop is coming into market and first

picking of Michigan berries sold for

$6.50 per 16-quart case. Egg market

is steady at 320 bid, and one dealer

shipped three cars this week. Reports

from the forthcoming onion crop are

that the acreage in western Michigan

is equal to that of last year. At pres-

ent the fields show excellent germina-

NEW YORK Paooucs MARKET





Butter.—The butter market has‘wit-v

nessed considerable activity during the





week. As the season for grass-‘pro-

ductioh has been greatly delayed,

speculators began to fear that the.

storage‘season will be short, and con-

sequently were free purchasers the

first three days of- the week. Conser-

vative reports show that there is a.

storage shortage as compared to last

year’s figures of about seven and a half

million pounds. Considerable butter

is arriving from Denmark but the

quantity is insufl‘lcient as yet to cause

any material effect on the market. Es-

tablished quotations are: Extras 56%c

per pound; higher scoring than extras

57@571/zc; firsts 52@56c; seconds at

49@5lc. .



Eggs—Egg receipts are about nor-

mal for the season. The market has

been irregular in tone. Quality is var—

iable. Firsts 42@44c; extra firsts 45

@47c; extras 481/2@49c.





DRAINAGE DEMONSTRATION"-

TOUR.





Farmers, rural leaders, and scien

tific and agricultural experts from Var-

lOllS sections of Michigan will on Fri-

day, June 25, unite in a demonstration

tour of the drainage systems installed

a year ago at_various points in St.

Clair county under the supervision of

the Michigan Agricultural College.

The results of the work done are now

apparent and with the actual farm con-

ditions before them the most impres-

sive lessons in the method of construct-

ing the right kind of drains and in

the value to be derived from such

drains, can be taught. County Agent

Brady will be in charge.
