N these days when the exodus .of farmers from the country



to the city is at its very height, and good prices for farm



products practically assured through improved and more di-

rect systems of marketing, young men can well afford to inves-

tigate the field of agriculture aid its possibilities. Reports

from all parts of the country show a shrinkage in the aoreage

of farm crops and in some sections entire farms are abandoned.

There are three main reasons for this constant drain upon the

rural communities.



The first is the multiplicity of industrial opportunities for

young men. High wages and short hours have a captivating in-

fluence. Movies and other-artificial allurements make a tem~

porary appeal. In a majo‘rityhof cases the money comes easy



, and goes easy and not 'much thought is given to the future.

“They are living in the present, but the fact remains that they

have left the farm and have been swallowed up by lives of ac-

backbone of the nation has been, and must continue to be the

farmer. Farming is the basic industry upon which all are de-

pendent.



The second reason for this exodus is the shortage of farm

labor. The farmer is forced to bid against big business inter-

ests for farm help. The business corporations can fix the price

of their finished product and make that price cover the cost of

production and guarantee a profit, while the farmer cannot un-

der normal conditions. The manufacturer knows approximately

what his output will be, but the farmer does not, as he is de





pendent upon weather and climatic conditions over which he has





no control.



The third is the fact that farmers are moving to the city to

educate their children. The rural school, underour present sys-

tem,pfails to meet the» needs and the high school training cannot

be obtained unless the children are taken or sent to the city

for it. To avoid the necessity of (Continued on page 958).

CURRENT COMMENT





EPORTS of Coun-

ty Farm Bureau

County activities which have

F arm Bu” appeared in these col-

reau Work 'umns in recent weeks

reveal the fact that

business organization has progressed

along somewhat different lines in the

different counties. This is undoubtedly

due in part to the different conditions

which must be met and the varying

problems to be worked out. But it is,

in some degree at least, due 'to the

viewpoint of the leaders in the various

counties as to the methods of organi—

zation and conduct of community bus-

iness which will prove of the greatest

value to the people of the community

in the long run.



In view of the efforts which have

been made to standardize this work

through the medium of the county ag-

ricultural agents this apparent divers-

ity of methods has been a surprise to

members of the Michigan Farmer staff,

as it undoubtedly has to our readers.

This series of articles on the activi—

ties of the County Farm Bureaus was

undertaken to better ‘ acquaint the

farmers of the state with the work be-

ing undertaken and the results being

accomplished by different methods of

organization and work in the counties

of the state which have made the

greatest progress along organization

lines. It now appears that the varia-

tion in the methods adopted in the dif-

ferent counties is so great as to be

well worthy of personal investigation

by the directors of County Farm Bu-

reau activities in every county. The

executive committee, if not the entire

directorate, of any County Farm Bu-

reau would find a trip of investigation

to other counties where the work is

well under way, productive of profit-

able suggestion for the direction of

their own work.



Such trips would also make it pos-

Bible for the leaders of different coun-

ties to exchange ideas as to how the



‘ state organization can best function to

‘aid them in their business undertak-

ings. This would undoubtedly prove

beneficial to the value and permanency

of the Farm Bureau movement. While

the initial organization work, from a

membership standpoint, has of neces«

sity been conducted by the state or-

ganization, the maximum of benefit to

the members cannot be derived from

the state organization alone. Its larg-

est field of opportunity will be to aid

the county organizations in a business

way, rather than to conduct their'busi:

The County Farm Bureau organiza-

tion in everycounty has a big job to

do in this connection. Every member

should aid in the accomplishment of

this job, and those in direct charge of

the job should keep in the closest pos-

sible touch with similar lines of work

being conducted in other counties.

They should also aid in the direction

of the work of the state organization

along lines which will be of the great-

est permanent benefit to the industry.

Those who have been placed in charge

of the state work have a still bigger

and more difficult job ahead of them

and they should not be called upon to

aid the county organizations in the





accomplishment of things which the





county organizations can do for them-

selves. The ultimate strength and val-





.ue of the state organization will de-





pend very largely on the strength and

value of the county organizations which

are its local units.

Early tion difficulties in the





purchase of needed

goods or supplies. This necessity was

forced on them during the war, but

there was a very general feeling that

it was a temporary condition which

would pass as soon as the war was ov-

er. But experience has demonstrated

that transportation has its reconstruc-

tion problem, which is even more diffi—

cult of solution than the war transpor-

tation problem. Shortage of equip-

ment, shortage of coal, and labor diffi-

culties have conspired to aggravate

this problem, until the movement of

anything but necessities which have

priority, has become an uncertain prop-

osition.



This applies to certain farm supplies

which are badly needed in many sec-

tions, notably, lime and fertilizer.

Goods of this kind intended for fall use

should be ordered at, the earliest pos-

sible date to insure a seasonal deliv‘

ery, lest their lack prove a. further

handicap in the season’s difficult pro-

duction plans.

propaganda, together with the inac-

tivity of the wool market even at pres-

ent nominal quotations, undoubtedly

means that wool growers must hold

their wool until the market is re-estab-

.lished on a legitimate merchandising

basis if they would avoid being

“fieeced.”



This means that a large proportion

of growers who were depending on

the receipts from their wool clip to

meet current expenses must finance

their operations in some other way,

which many of them will find it difii-





cult to: do without some special pro-i

Last week a conference or western

wool growers and bankers was held

in Chicago to «inside? the establish»

ment of a fund of $100, 000, 000 to ex-

tend needed financial aid to western

wool growe‘rs. Reports indicate that

Chicago bankers were inclined to view

the proposition favorably if western

bankers would give it general support.

The fact that the adoption of such a

plan would make Chicago a wool cen-

ter which would rival or exceed Bos-

ton in importance augurs well for its

adoption.



Early this week representatives of

several wool growers’ and“ dealers' as-





sociations urged the necessity of 1111-.





mediat’e relief for the wool pioducing





industry, before the Federal Reserve

Board at Washington, on account of





the present demoralized condition of

the market. A credit plan which would

enable banks to assist wool producers

by making loans on their product was

advocated. The adoption of such a

plan through the aid of the Federal

Reeserve Banks would go far toward

saving hte situation and this may be

accomplished.



A meeting of wool growers of Mis-

souri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Indiana

was held at‘St. Louis this week, at

which growers were advised to hold

their product until the market is re-

established on a more satisfactory

merchandising basis. It will thus be

seen that the wool growers of the

country are alive to the situation and

are taking active steps to protect their

interests, as the merits of the case

well warrant. This year’s wool clip

ble cheapening of woolen goods by the

present shrinkage in wool values.

which are a minorfactor in the pres-

ment through the federal reserve

How Not to Dispose of Farm sewage.

The Old primitive method followed





was to dig-a deep hele in‘the ground,





at some distance from the house, box

up the hole loosely, and run the sew-

age into this hole, which was called a

cess pool. The liquids of the sewage

passed through the cess pool, seeping

into the surrounding soil. The solids

collected in the bottom, and there pu-

trified, contaminating the comparative-

ly harmless liquids which constitute

the larger proportion of the sewage

which comes from the sink, wash bowl

and bathtub. At least two hundred

tons of water pass through the aver-

age farm plumbing system annually.

Since the cess pool contaminates all

this liquid, and it all passes down into

the underground waters which supply

the farm well, this method of sewage

disposal is obviously unsafe.





Safe Methods of Sewage Disposal.



While it is essential to avoid the

contamination of our sources of water

supply, yet it is not always essential

to provide an elaborate purification

system for the farm sewage. In a

great many cases all that is necessary

is to disposeof t e sewage at some

dangers of sewage disposal and the,

of sewer is made by four-inch glazed

sewer tile with watertight cemented

joints. This tile must be laid to a uni-

form slope, which can be easily done

with a hand level and ten-foot straight-

edge. For southern Michigan condi-

tions it is well to have the tank covo

ered with at least a foot of earth, and

for the tile taking the sewage from the

tank to be covered to a depth of at

least eighteen inches. The outlet of

Tee, the object of which is to admit

the liquid without disturbing the sur-

face of the accumulated sewa‘ge. The

sewage stands at a constant level,

about an inch below the bottom 'of the

tile through which the sewage enters.

As soon as the tank is filled with sew

age a bacterial action sets up which

reduces all the solid organic matter to

a liquid state. This takes possibly a

month to fully develop. The tank does

not purify the sewage, it simply liqui-

fies the solids. In order not to retard

this action, disinfectants, such as car-

bolic acid, chloride of lime, etc., should

not be thrown into the sink or other

fixtures in any quantity. The idea is

to liquify the solids as rapidly as pos-

sible and run them through from the

tank before any dangerous germs in

the. liquidshave a chance to multiply.

As often as a quantity of sewage ent-

ers the tank from the house, an equal

frost. This is readily done by throw-

ing a couple of boards across this lit

tle recess and covering same with a

little straw early in the fall. The early

snow will lodge on the straw and there

will be no danger from frost. Neither

will there be any danger from flies in

the summer, nor will any bad odors

result from such an arrangement. If

such a tank is used by a very large

farm home, the tank should be made

thirty-six inches instead of thirty inch-

MERGING from an atmosphere

E surcharged with live stock breed-



ers’ enthusiasm, the Circuit Rider

went from Livingston county to visit

County Agent Ballard, of Jackson coun-

ty. hoping to find something new for

the readers of these travels. It need-

ed some sort of a change for his own

well-being, as well as forthe sake of

getting the readers to realize that the

moulders of animal form have nothing

on the plant breeders in the way of

enthusiasm and Opportunities. With

the new seed department of the Mich—

igan State Farm Bureau to help them

over the rough places the-plant breed-

ers now have just as effective an or-

ganization for promoting their work as

the live stock breeders have in their

breeders’ organizations.



In Jackson county one needs no mi-

crophone to catch the cheerful vibra-

tion of the grain breeders’ enthusiasm.

To make the story complete the Cir-

cuit Rider bumped into R V. Tanner

and A. L Bibbins, from East Lansing,

who were out looking over fields of

pedigreed grain. He caught the idea

and cannot help” but use it as the key

to this story. The Vibration began to

affect him at Parma and Albion, and

now he can see volumes of study in

the perfection of small grain plants.

This plant breeding business is a great

work, and what a wonderful thing it

would be if this story could be told in

such a way as to make other farmers

realize the possibilities in making a

better selection of their seed grains.

The best he can do, however, is to ex-

plain in a sort of uninteresting manner

what these plant breeders are doing

for the farmers of Michigan and ad-

joining states.





ACKSON county leads the state in



the acreage and value of pedigreed

seed grains. The work started in the

vicinity of Parma and Albion, and as

the farmers saw the more perfect

stands and increased yields the idea

took root, until today there is a small-

er percentage of inferior grain seed

planted in Jackson county than in any

other 'county in Michigan.



When J. Vernon Sharp became coun-

ty agent, a little more than two years

ago, he made grain improvement work

his trump card. How skillfully he

played his hand is revealed by a ride

through the county inspecting the work

being carried on by progressive farm-

ers. To give the readers a more ac~

Curate understanding of the methods

practiced by the Jackson county seed

growers it may be well to explain why

their system of head selection of small

grains is, much more effective than

ordinary seed selection practiced in

other localities.



For years farmers have worked un-

der the assumption that if they used

the largest and heaviest kernels of

grain for seed they would in time have

a strain of wheat, rye, oats or barley

to their benefit. After a few years’

work they ran up against this proposi-





tion. Large kernels are more fre-

quently produced on shy-bearing

plants. If the practice of selecting





large kernels is carried too far it de<

velops a strain of grain which will

produce large and plump kernels, but

not many of them. That is precisely

what the farmers of Jackson county,

and the leaders at the Michigan Agri-

cultural College have been fighting

against. In their field work they have

practiced the same methods which

have proved so successful in improv~

ing the yield and uniformity of our

corn crops.



In other words, the system of head

selection in small grain improvement,





ance of the seed from the plot is put

into Plot G, the seed from Plot D is

planted in Plot H, and the seed from

Plot E in Plot 1. If the yield of the

last plot is sufficient to sow the entire

field in the fourth year it is used, and

the selection continued in the three

plots, but if seed for a larger field is

required selection may be continued

in the fourth year. This is essentially





the same system employed by success-'





ful corn breeders. When these princi-

ples are applied to small grains they

will increase the yield in as great a

ratio as in the case of com. This may

explain why the farmers of Jackson

county have been so far ahead of the

farmers of other localities in their

work with small grains.





0 community in Michigan is more



thoroughly organized cooperative-

ly, or better prepared to join hands

with the State Farm Bureau, than the

farmers in the vicinity of Parma. And

it came about largely through the

building of a cooperative creamery, or-

ganized, financed and carried on by

the farmers themselves. The history

of this creamery is a thriller, 9. sort





.to be advertised across the horizon so





that all uplifters, whether afoot or a-

straddle a bucking broncho, may read

and absorb. Close students of the co-

operative movement had better flock

like ear selection in corn breeding,

gives proper consideration to factors

other than mere bigness of kernels.

Today these progressive plant breed

ers select their seed from the largest

and best filled and most prolific heads,

taking care that the plants have stalks

and roots and leaf systems large

enough to support them. It is imprac-

tical for the ordinary grain grower to

select his seed by this method, but he

may follow a modification of it, which

will produce excellent results.





He may select any desired number,

say one hundred, of the largest and

most prolific heads. These must be

selected in the field in order that he

may select the earliest heads that *rip-

concern and prices have been so uni:

formly good that competition has been

unable to disrupt the organization. It

isrlargely through the example of this

successful creamery that the farmers.

business men and bankers of Parma

have learned the value of. cooperation

in threshing out their troubles and

making their community one of the

best in Michigan. ’



As neighbors, friends and relatives

began to meet and discuss their prof—

its and losses they began to become

interested in community problems, and

to take a new interest in better dairy

cattle, better crops and better meth-

ods offarming. Pretty soon they be-

gan to breed registered Guernsey cat-

tle and pedigreed seed grains. We

have not the space in this story to

record all the happy events that have

followed in" the train of the growth of

the community spirit in this pleasant

district of Jackson county. That the

entire program is working out success-

fully is plain when one visits the suc-

cessful breeders of field crops and

live stock, and studies at first hand

what they are doing to inject better

business methods into the curriculum"

of their farming.





AT the two—hundred—acre farm of

Lester Sedgwick near Parma, we

found some of the most interesting

field experiments with pedigreed

grains being conducted in Michigan.

One of these series of experiments in

the selection of Rosen Rye began with

the first bushel of that variety sent out

by the M. A. C., which came to Fame.

About two years later Mr. Sedgwick

secured a few extra fine selected heads

taken from an exceptionally good

stand. The heads had hung in the

office of the county agent for nearly

two years, and had some advantage ov—

er later selections, inasmuch as they

were more likely to contain no mix-

tures with other. varieties. _Mr. Sedg—

wick’s first crop of grain showed six

to eight per cent improvement in qual-

ity and 'purity. With this beginning

he has'been practicing careful head se-

lection and gradually perfecting a

strain of Rosen Rye that promises to

establish his reputation as a breeder

of pedigreed seed grains. He has also

been experimenting with oats, his chief’

efforts being directed toward improv-

ing the strength and quality of the

straw. At Lansing his exhibit of Rosen

Rye won first in the open class last

winter. In addition to breeding pedi-

greed grains Mr. Sedgwiok is breed-

ing registerea Jersey ..cattle. He now





has about sixteen head of females and

‘ nthe Hond’Farm line of breeding.





Only a'i'ew rods further along the

road" we - visited Carlton Horton, who

has. a fine two-hundred-acre farm on

which he'is growing sixty-two acres of





”pedigreed Rosen Rye, fifteen acres of





Wolverine oats, ten acres of Silver

:ng corn, and a small acreage of Pe-

toskéy Golden Russet potatoes. Mr.

Hortdn also breeds Ohio Improved

Chester White swine. In» discussing

‘ his methods of plant breeding he said:

“In #1912 I' secured the first bushel of

Rosen Rye that came into Jackson

county. . From that bushel Of seed I

secured thirty-five bushels of rye from

one acre of ground in 1913. I realized

at once that this new variety of rye

possessed exceptional merit if it could

be maintained pure. By persistent ef-

fort I persuaded many farmers to grow

this variety so that it could be kept

pure in this locality.”



As a‘result of Mr. Horton’s efforts

the whole countryside around Parma

grows no other rye, and scarcely any

wheat. Practically all, of these grain

growers are working in close harmony

with the new seed department of the

Michigan State Farm Bureau and the

Agricultural College at East Lansing.

Other farmers who are breeding pedi-

greed grains in the Parma district are

W. G. Lines, A. S. Wilkinson, Howard

Prine and Fred Sackrider, and their

work is conducted along the same gen-

eral lines.





A few miles from Parma, J. C. .,





Thompson & Son have a fine‘ farm

where they are breeding Hereford

cattle and Percheron horses. They

now have fifty purebred Herefords in

their‘ herd. J. C. Thompson, Jr., is a

member of the executive committee of

the County Farm Bureau, and an ac-

tive booster for the farmer’s interests.

He also represents his township on

the county board of supervisors. .



Then there is W. E. Livingston, who

“has a fine two—hundred-acre farm

where he breeds some of the best

'Poland China swine in the country.

Mr. Livingston has the most popular

blood lines in his herd and his stock

is always kept in thrifty condition.





HE farmers of Parma are well or-

ganized for business. The Elevat-

or Association did a business of more

than $400,000 last year. The officers

and directors are: Homer Hogle, pres-

ident; Frank Gilmore, manager; El-

rie of Hillhurst, a cham—

pion- roll-of-honor cow of

have some exceptionally

good cows and yOung

appearance and striking

uniformity of their young stuff.

They have one tWenty-five—acre field

of pedigreed Rosen Rye that presents

a wonderful uniformity of development

of both plants and heads. Three years

ago they sold $1,300 worth of Rosen

Rye seed from fourteen acres of rye,





.and two years ago twenty-five acres of

the same variety brought about $2,500.

' Recognition of Agriculture ‘5 Basic Claims for Class Cooperation





They are most intermit- .

ANY farmers. especially in the

middle west, after several years’

experience in preparing their in-

come tax returns, have arrived at the

conclusion that there is room for im-

provement in the methods of making





the returns. A committee from the





Iowa Farm Bureau Federation was in

Washington recently conferring with

the income tax division of the treas-

ury department of agriculture, with the

purpose in view of securing the adop-

tion of a method which will more cili-

ciently meet the special requirements

of the farmers.





The principal point at issue is to pro-

vide an equitable means of changing

the farmer’s returns system fmm what

is known as the cash plan to that

which is known as the accrual or in-

ventory system. As things stand now

the farmer who started making re—

turns on the cash basis cannot change

over to the inventory basis without be-

ing penalized in the form of greatly in-

creased taxes for the yea1 in which

the change is made.





The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation,

working in cooperation with the Amer-

ican Farm Bureau Federation, has de—

veloped a farmers’ account book which

it is hoped will meet the approval of

the treasury department and be adopt-

ed by Farm Bureau members through-

out the United States. It is believed

that this will be a decided step in ad-

vance, and will greatly simplify the

matter of making income tax returns

on the farms. Objections have been

raised by the treasury department ofii-

cials to some of the changes in the

present plan of making 1eturns, pro

posed by the farmer,s but the members

of the Iowa committee still hope that

a satisfactory solution will be weiked

out. The Federal Department of Agri-

culture is fully in accord with the Iowa

farmers in their plans for simplifying

and making more practicable the in

come tax returns system.





In a report to N. P. Hull, president

of the National Dairy Union, A. M.

Loomis, secretary of the union, says:

“I have to report the adjournment of

congress without action so far as I

can discover in any way detrimental

to the interests represented by the Na-

tional Dairy Union. Only two bills





have been introduced during this ses





sion of congress to permit the color-

ing of oleomargarine in imitation of

butter. These were the Dyer bill and

theSabbath bill. Neither of these bills

proceeded beyond a reference to the

committee on agriculture.” It must be

understood, however, Mr. Loomis

says, that the adjournment of congress

did not kill these bills. They will be

before the committee when congress

resumes work next December, as will

all other bills pending in committee.

Mr. Loomis, who was recently appoint~

ed secretary of the National Dairy Un-

ion, succeeding the late W. T. Greasy,

is assistant to T. C. Atkeson, Wash-

ington representative of the National

Grange. His office is at 303 Seventh

At this meeting the Non‘partisan

MEMORIAL signed by T. C. At‘



keson, of the National Grange,

Gray Silver, of the American Feder-

ation of Farm Bureaus, and R. F. Bow-

er, of the Farmers’ Union, has been

presented to President Wilson, calling

his personal attention to “a. most crit-

ical situation now confronting thepeo-

ple of the nation.” “The flow of labor

from the farms to the cities,” says the

statement. “has proceeded to such an

alarming extent and has so depleted

the man-power of our farms that the

resulting decrease in crop production

seriously menaces the nation’s food

supply.

sential operations the farmer has no

alternative but to either cut down his

acreage to the amount that he himself

can crop by working twelve to four-

teen hours a. day, or to let his farm lie

idle and follow the crowds to the high





wages of the city. Hundreds of thou-,





sands of farmers in all Sections of the

country are finding themselves forced

to accept one or the other of these

alternatives. Thousands of empty farm

houses are to be found in every state

and literally millions of ‘acres of farm

lands are lying idle this season. Un-

less immediate relief can be effected

in the farm labor situation we will

soon be beyond remedy, so far as the

present season is concerned, and face

to face with what leading agricultural

economists believe will be the great-

est scarcity of foodstuffs ever experi-

enced in America.





“Our appeal for more farm labor

looks ahead to the sithutionwhich will

confront the people of our great , cen—

ters of population during the long cold

months of the coming winter. \It is not

the farmer who would first feel the

pinch of hunger. The people or the

farms are amply able to provide food

Way. the feasibility of'the cooperative

those at Quincy and Coldwater, are

now doing a much larger business, but

. Litchfield was the pioneer, inspiring

and leading in'the cooperative move-

ment.



Out of these successful cooperative

-ventures has grown, in recent months,

another progressive feature. This is

the Lit‘chfleld Chamber of Commerce,

organized for the purpose of bringing

about a better understanding between

buSiness men and farmers. -7 In this in-

stitution, cooperation is the keynote.

Towns in the village rank do not often

have chambers Of commerce. In this,

too, Litchfield is a pioneer. Farmers

and business men a1ike,.have entered

with enthusiasm, into the new enter-

prise. Its influence has already made

itself felt along progressive lines.



As a result of this chamber of com-

_merce, town folks and farmers are

pulling together. The chamber has

gone on record as favoring consolidat-

ed schools. Litchfield stands a good

show of being the first in this section,

to establish the consolidated school

system. It is the spirit of cooperation

that will put across at last, the console

idated school progralxn In many town-

ships, the small town and the farming

districts must unite in this effort to

change the school system. Without

this cooperation, agitation will be of

no avail. In her chamber of' com-

merce, Litchfield has a splendid Work-

ing "organization which will, ultimately,

accomplish the desired results.



Not only with the consolidated school

problem, but with other innovations as

well, the chamber of commerce has

exercised a decided influence. The

building of a stretch of federal-aid

highway has been favored and mate-

rialized by. the organization. Organiz-

ed effort for community betterment—-

this is the keynote of Litchfield’s co-

operative spirit. '



This glimpse of a truly cooperative





., ommumty would not be complete

’ . without a mention of the Litchfield- -





Farmers’ Club. This organization

stands for enlightenment and progress;

for social advantage; and for commu-

nity uplift. Thejclub is primarily, for

farmers and their wives.

ings held each month, at the homes

of members, combine social enjoyment

and the profit that comes from an in-

terchange of ideas. Questions of‘in-

terest are discussed; entertaining pro-

grams are rendered; good dinners" and

good social times are enjoyed. The





Club has grown in popularity and inT





influence. ..

’The picture of Litchfield, the home

of the cooperative idea, has been thus

briefly drawn, that it may furnish in-

spiration and.examp1e for Other com—

munities. In these days, organization

alone can accomplish things worth

while._ Cooperation is the solution of

many of the perplexing problems that

confront the residents of small towns

and rural districts. In far too many

cases, business men in the villages,

and farmers of the locality, are pulling

against each other, not together. This

means wasted effort, lack of achieve-

ment, and finally, retrogression. In





many ways, the interests of the farm-





ing districts and of the small towns

are virtually identical. The elimina-

tion of a very small class of local mid.

dlemen, by the establishment of coop-

erative concerns, created at first, a

spirit of antagonism in many sections.

But for the most part, this feeling is

dying out, as the real purpose and real

meaning of cooperation become appar-

ent. The small town must readjust its

business to meet the new conditions.

The wise ones will get in line and co-

operate, rather than buck against the

inevitable. The doom of the small

town is not sealed, as some have pre-

dicted. We must have them still,

changed, perhaps, in many ways, but

abiding features of our farming dis~

tricts. To what extent the business of

these towns, in the future, will become





cooperative, is still-a question of spec-





ulation.



But out of the uncertainty that ac—

complishes innovation, looms this

truth: Cooperation is the better way.

Any movement which has for its ob-

ject the promotion of a better under-

standing‘between farmer and business

man, is Worth while. Litchfield’s cham-

ber of commerce is an illustration in

point. Get together. Pull together.

Do things. Cooperate.

The laborer is worthy of his hire





All service is worthy of its

hire and good service cannot

be continuously obtained un-

less adequately rewarded.





From the beginning of tele-

phone history the American

public has received the best

telephone service of any

country in the world In pro-

portion to the service rendered

the people have paid less for

this telephone service than

any other country in the

world.





The reason why the Amer-

ican people have received the

highest type of telephone serv-

ice at the least proportionate

cost is because the Bell Sys-

tem has been operated on a

scientifically economic basis.





Every device which inventive

skill, engineering ability, labor

and time saving talent has‘

been able to create; every

efficiency known to buying,

operation, executive control

and financial conduct has

been employed.





Public service companies

feel the high cost of living as

well as individuals. Pay them

enough to make possible their

giving good service. There

is no permanent saving in

poorly paid service.





In this land of opportunity

none of us is willing to jeop-

ardize his success or happi-

ness by stinting the payment

necessary to secure the most

healthful and efficient service.

RURAL CONFERENCE AT M. A. C.





WENTY-THREE men of note in

the religious world, a greatmany

of whom are specialists in country

problems, will form a galaxy of speak-

ers at the rural conference of pastors

and laymen in connection with the





showing that not only the-wool grow-





ers and consumers, but large indus-

ti'iossregoingtolnsistimthepasssge

of a pore fabric law. The inferior

quality of goods manufactured at the

mount time was one of the bnportant

subjects discussed at this meetingand

some interesting facts were disclosed

in connection with the manufacture or

modern fabrics. For instance, tin,

brass or other minerals . are put into

silk fabrics to give them a richer ap-

pearance, and corn starch is used to

make the table linens heavy. When

washed the linens will be like cheese

cloth. It was also asserted that jute

is put into rugs. The laundrymen who

are coping with this situation have a

difficult task, for owners of clothing

supposedly mined in the laundrying

process will not be convinced that it is

because of inferior material and sub-

stances which enter into its manufac-

ture. It is more natural to suppose that

machinery touches the goods or that

acids are used in the cleaning. The

convention decided that this problem

has grown so large that action on the

part of laundrymen has become neces—

sary, and it is believed that with the

proper efforts the laundry interests

can be lined up with the farm organi-

zations in demanding the enactment

of the French bill.



The sheep and wool growers’ asso-

ciations were pioneers in promoting

the truth-in-fabric movement. They

now have the backing of all the farm

organizations, the Cotton States Mar-

keting Board, National Consumers’

League, and several retail clothiers’

associations. At the hearings on the

TRUTH-lN-FABRIC BILL BECOMING

POPULAR.





ONGRESSMAN Burton L. French



télls me that there is ,a rapidly



growing sentiment in favor of his

truth-in—fabric bill. The people are be-

gnning to demand the truth in regard

to the contents of the clothing they

are buying, whether it is made wholly

from virgin wool or in large part from

shoddy, and they arena longer satis-

fied with the dealer’s statement that

the goods are “all wool.” The Minne-

sota and Wyoming republican state

conventions have endorsed the French

truth-in-fabric bill, and the Boise, Ida:

ho, chamber of commerce recently

adopted a resolution in its favor.

the house interstate and foreign com-

merce committee, last winter, repre-

sentatives of the farm organizations

presented a strong case in favor of

the French bill, but it was plainly seen

by those who attended the hearings

that there was need for education on

the part of the public generally in re-

gard to the necessity for legislation

compelling the branding of fabrics so

as to enable the purchaser to know

their true contents. It will bé the

work of the friends of truth-in~fabrlc

legislation between now and the win-

ter session of congress to discuss the

subject as public gatherings and~ in the

papers, to bring it to the attention of

their representatives in congress and

secure for it the widest possible pub-

It is reported that Boston banks are

relative to the meeting:



“It is fully expected that the wool

market soon will be reopened on a rea—

sonable basis of value. In the mean-

time, growers will be able to obtain

loans on unsold wool from banks that

are members of the federal reserve

system. Federal reserve banks will

not fail to rodiscount any paper that

is presented in proper form. The whole

matter is to, be discussed fully with

adorn any farm, as it is suitable

where only the farmer’s family is to

bis/housed or it will make a. very good





tenant house. An attractive and com-

"tenable home may not only keep the





tenant on the farm, but it will help to





'make farmers of his children. The





tenant's wife often casts the deciding

vote as to whether they stay on the

farm or not. She is sensitive about

her home.

‘ tle cottage shows a. sensible, conven-





ient arrangement. The kitchen is .par-

ticularly worthy of notice: See what

a pantry is not necessary. Everything

-is so designed and arranged that the

housewife can do her work with the

minimum of time and energy expended.



The living and dining-room are cem-

bined, giving a spacious, well-propor-

tioned room instead of two cramped

ones. Note the convenient arrange-

ment of rooms, which gives a door

into this room, yet not a. bit of space

is wasted.

A warm-air system of heating this

. - I would like your help in planning to

remodel our chicken house. which is

cold in winter and poorly ventilated.

lt-seems to be well constructed and 13

lined with tar paperybutlwater; freezes





solid in cold weather. The house is





30:14 feet, with a cement, floor. There

are three windows 27x48 inches on the

south, and a door in each end, but no

means of ventilation; What kind of

roosts and dropping boards are best

where the coop cannot be cleaned ev—

ery day? Is lath and plaster advisable

in a chicken coop? Could a portion

be partitioned of! with wire and a coal

heating broader be installed without

danger of fire? I have so much‘ trouble

'teaching my pullets to roost in the

house after they have been raised in

a colony house. G. S.





The house would be more satistac

tory if it had some open front which

could be protected by curtains in very

cold weather. In many good poultry

houses the water pails will freeze at

night when the temperature is near

zero. But this does not indicate. that

-the house is too cold for the health or

the birds. ‘



Even if a house cannot be cleaned

every day it pays to use a dropping

platform at the back of the house.

This keeps the floor clean and gives

the hens a larger area for scratching

than when a pit is used beneath the

roosts. Two-by‘three pieces make good

poultry roasts. They should have the

upper edges rounded with a plane.

These roosts can be nailed on cross-

pieces which are hinged to the back

wall of the house. Then they can be

raised and hooked to the ceiling when

the dropping boards are cleaned. We

do not believe that lath and plaster

are necessary or advisable in a poultry

house.



A portion of a layingchouse could be

partitioned off with wire and used for

a coal-burning brooder stove. Of

course, there would be some danger

from fire. The stove would have to be

protected where pipe passes through.

Much care would be needed when

cleaning the stove to avoid dropping

hot ashes in the straw litter. - It is

much more safe and satisfactory to op-

crate the stove broader in a colony

house away from the winter laying-

house. This not only reduces fire risk

but gives the chicks a range that is

less contaminated and they are not

bothered by the older birds. Young

pullets can easily be taught to roost

in their laying-house if they are fasten-

ed in the house for about a week until

they learn to take to the roasts each

night without being placed there. If

pullets have to be carried to a new

house each night they are very slow in

adopting it for a permanent home.

But if they go to roost for themselves

they learn the use of the new home

much quicker. R. G. K.’

YOUNG TURKEYS DIE.





I had twelve little turkeys, which we

kept in a barn for three days after

they were hatched. They got in a patch

of rye, were not sick, and had no diarr-

hea but they all died but two.



S . Clair Co. W. H.





The most common disease of young

turkeys is blackhead, but as you give

no symptoms we cannot determine if

this is the case. Possibly the turkeys

obtained same poisonous feed which

caused digestive disorders or a weak-

ness of the breeding stock produced-

poults which did not have the vitality

to live. If the poults had died of black-

head they would have been dull and

droopy and had diarrhea. Often the

head would turn purplish. The poults

may be sick only four or five daysand

so they might die before the owner

realized they were sick, if the birds

were on a large range and not visited

every day. Arsenical or salt poisoning

might cause the death of young tur-

keys. Investigations by scientists have

proven that “twenty-five grains of salt.

per pound of live weight” is enough

to cause death in fowls. When salt-

ing stock it might be placed where it

would be eaten by turkeys—R. G. K.

The first of‘these reasons would vanw

industry stop or factories 'close down

for a season. This unbalanced indus-

trial prosperity cannot continue indefi-

nitely. The nation must be fed and

The second, or labor problem, will

gradually adjust itself as the expense

of living in the 'city is bound to have

its effect. Cheaper rents and cheaper

The third reason for the farmer mov-

be equal to that given in the city and ‘

the children can be at home. Courses

in agriculture, home economics, and

farm carpentry will be included in the

course of study and the work in high

school will bear a. direct relationship

to the community life and its activi- .

STUCCO FOR RESIDENCE.





We wish to remodel our house, and

would like to know which is the more

durable to put on the outside, Kellas-

tone put on with wobd lath, or stueco

put on with wire netting? Also, is

there a difference in the mixing of the

cement for the stucco so that some

will crack while others will not, and is

there a rule to go by in mixing it so

it will last?



Calhoun Co. SUBSCRIBER.





‘ The method of mixing and placing

stucco has a great deal to do with its

lasting qualities and why some crack

and others do not. In the first place,

common cement stucco should never

be put on common wood lath, but it

should always be placed on metal lath

weighing not less than four pounds

per yard. If wire cloth is used it should

not be less than nineteen gauge and

two and one-half meshes to the inch.

In very damp climates or on the coast,

the lath or cloth must be galvanized;

elsewhere, it should be painted at the

factory.



The stucco is made of one measure

of Portland cement, three measures of

sand and one—tenth measure of hydrat-

ed lime or plasterer’s lime-putty well

mixed together and about as moist as

ordinary mortar. After wetting this,

use it immediately; if any has stood

longer than half an hour throw this

away and mix up a fresh batch. Don’t

attempt to “temper” or soften it; the

strength has gone and it is no good.

A little hair is a good thing in the

first coat, but not really necessary.

Too much hair is worse than none.



No doubt Kellastone would be the

most satisfactory and the cheapest in

the end. The Kellastone is composed

of a chemical which makes a stucco

that is water or moisture proof. It

SEEDING’ VETCH.





I have purchased some winter sand

or hairy vetch seed which I intended

to sow with oats this spring for hay.

Do you think it advisable for me to

sow it now, or would you wait and sow

it in the fall with rye? The land on

which I intended sowing the vetch is

light sandy land.



Monroe Co. W. M.





Hairy vetch, if properly inoculated

and sown alone or with rye in August,

is practically a sure crop. This combi—

nation may be left to mature seed, or

it can be cut green for hay. For this

purpose it should be cut when the rye

is in the milk stage and quite green.

The vetch will then be nicely in blos-

som. On some fairly good sandy soils,

with the proper weather conditions,

hairy vetch and oats sown in spring

will give a good yield of hay. Satis-

factory results, however, would not be

so certain with spring-sown hairy

vetch as when sown with a winter





‘ grain in August. Unless hay is needed





very badly, I should not risk the spring

sowing on your light sandy land. Not

but that the vetch will make a start

and live, but dry weather may prevent

enough growth of both vetch and oats

to make a profitable yield of hay.

Such was true in many cases last sum-





mer in this part of the state—H. ’L. B.

isaalone. Get the ground in good shape

and seed without a nurse crop. This

grass is such a luxuriant grower, in.

fact, it is not a grass at all, it belongs

,to the sorghum family, that I do not

believe it would do well with oats. If

there was plenty of moisture, you

could fit the land' that you had har—

vested for oats and seed to clover

alone by using two hundred pounds of

fertilizer to give it a good start. The

seed should not be sown until there is

moisture enough in the soil so that

they will readily germinate. C. C. L.





POOR RESULTS FROM FERTILl-

ZER.





I planted twelve acres of sugar

beets. I used one ton of fertilizer.

The sugar beet seed was not any good.

I had to work this field over and put

it into beans. I did not get any benefit

out of the fertilizer. The company

wants me to pay for their fertilizer.

Should I pay them or not?



Montcalm Co. ' H. S.





I should say that you will certainly

have to pay for this fertilizer. Because

you cultivated up the beets and plant

ed beans is no sign that'you did not

get results from the fertilizer. As a

matter of fact, if you had a poor crop

of beans and they did not consume the

fertilizer, the fertilizer is still in the

ground and you will get benefit from

it this coming year. 'It is barely pos-

sible that if you put this fertilizerall ~

in the row with the beet seed when

you planted the seed, that it injured

the germination, which would be the

cause of your poor stand. I don’t

think that over one hundred pounds

per acre should be used in the row

with the seed, then the balance of it

should be scattered broadcast.





I cannot understand why the bean

crop which followed was not benefited

by the fertilizer as after the ground

had been prepared for the beans the

fertilizer would be well mixed with the

soil and in splendid shape for the bean

crop._ I am sure if you have not al-

ready received any benefit from this

fertilizer, that you will in future crops.



C. C. L.





DESCENT OF PROPERTY.





A couple start together, neither of.

them possessing muchproperty. After

a term of years they accumulate quite

an amount. They never had'any chil-

dren. Now if the wife dies, can her

relatives claim any part of the prop-

erty they make together? If so, what

part?—A. B. R.



If a woman dies, leaving a husband

and no children, all property owned

by her and in her name, and not dis‘

posed of by will, is divided after pay-

ing her debts, funeral expenses, and

costs of administration, one—half to the

husband and the other half to her par.

ents or brothers and sisters. This is ~

by the statutes of Michigan—J. R. R.





LAND CONTRACT.





A buys forty acres on contract. A

sells twenty acres to B on contract,

in which A agrees to give warranty

deed. B pays for land according to

contract and demands deed. A does

not have land paid for, so cannot ive

deed, but promises to do so. A ies;

his wife has signed contract. Has B

any title or claim to land? B has also

kept up the taxes—R. M. S.

have seen are those which have a net .

nary hardware cloth is good. This

gives fine chance for drainage. Then

keep the plants on the “dry side,” stir-

ring the soil frequently to give a good

loose mulch at the surface. When wa-

tering sub-irrigate or flood the water

on, do not sprinkle. Protect outdoor

plants from rain if possible, ‘ Such pre-

cautions will give plants free from the

damping off which has cost you money





and will ward off blackleg and kindred





evils as well.—G. H. C.





VALUE OF SILAGE.





 





What is good corn silage worth per ‘





ton that would husk about eighty bush-





,els to the acre, when hay is worth $27





per ton?



Gladwin Co. ‘ G. A.



There being no market for corn sil-

age, the only way we can determine 'its

value is“ by comparing it to some other

"foodstufi of similar analysis, for which

there is a market value. Corn silage

is very similar in the proportion of

food nutrients to timothy hay, besides

experiments show that a ton of tim-

othy hay is practically equal to three

tons of corn silage, therefore corn sil-

age would be worth one-third as much

as timothy hay. If your timothy hay





.was worth $27 per ton, then corn sil— _





‘age would be worth $9.00. C. C. L.





 





RYE FIELD FOR ALFALFA.





I have two acres of sandy soil that

was sown to alfalfa last year and only

a small part of it caught. I dragged

and sowed it to rye. What should I

do to get it seeded? Could I sow it

to alfalfa with the rye and cut the rye

far hay? F. M.



It is quite late to sow alfalfa seed

in rye now and expect a. stand. Bet-

ter 'plow the rye under for green ma-

nure, top-dress with two tons of lime

per acre, and at some favorable time





 





before the first of August sow inocu- ”





lated alfalfa seed with two hundred





. pounds per acre of the best commer-

HEN you sell two teams and put the



money into an Indiana Tractor you



cut down the time you have to spend

doing chores and raising feed for horses. You

quit working a month or two a year for your

horses and work all the time for yourself.





Horses in excess of one team for hauling and

odd jobs can be used on most farms only 90 to

100 days during the crop season. But the

high cost and trouble of keeping them runs

on through the winter.





The Indiana Tractor will do the work of four

horses and do everything that they do. Plow-

ing is only 15 per cent of what a tractor must

do to replace horses. The Indiana plows more

than two teams, and is light enough to go on

the ground any time horses should. .. \





It attaches to all makes of harrows, discs,

planters, one and two row cultivators, mowers,

binders, corn binders, rollers, drills, culti-

packers, potato diggers, and all orchard and

vineyard tools.





The regular implements you already have

are the only practical size and type for row

cultivation. The Indiana Tractor will use them

with inexpensive hitches. In many operations

it will replace six or eight horses. The driver

rides the implement and has his work in front

of him. The Indiana is the all-round, single

unit, one-man tractor.





H. P. Purviance of Logan County, Ills., say:

“My Indiana Tractor certainly is a success with

the grain binder or anything else one can do





I“





i





I





with four horses. Used it on double tandem

7 ft. disc, also on double corrugated roller and

Nisco manure spreader. I like it better to cut

grain than horses, for heat and flies do not

bother it and the power is more steady.

It stays on top in low spots better than

horses.”





An Indiana will work every day and the

money you can get for four horses and the Cost

of keeping them a year will more than pay for

it. Some owners do not have a horse on their

places.





Clayton McFarland; Tippecanoe Coun ,

Ind., says: “My corn is equal to any corn in

the community and I cultivated it entirely

with my tractor. I can plow 20 acres of com

a day with a two row cultivator. I can turn

at the ends and break less corn than with a

team. I harvested both wheat and oats my—

self with no trouble from the tractor.”





Many owners report cutting grain of all

kinds at a fuel and oil cost of 10 to 12 cents

an acre.





You can get an Indiana promptly from any

of our branches, get rid of four horses, and do

two men’s work yourself. In the last four

years this tractor has made hundreds of en-

thusiastic farmer friends, who help us sell

more Indianas.





For 20 years the Indiana Silo and Tractor

Company has been known for high quality

products and fair dealing. Ask any of the

75,000 owners of the Indiana Silo.

berjack and continue to live in these

woods,” she went on earnestly. as it

she found pleasure in this opportunity

to announce her rebellion. Despite her

defiance, however, there was a note ct

sad resignation in her voice.



“You don’t know a thing about. it,

Moira. Some bright day your Prince

Charming will come by, riding the log-

train, and after that it will always be

autumn in the woods for you. Every

thing will just naturally turn to crim-

son and gold.”



“How do you know, Mr. Bryce?”



He laughed. “I read about it in a

book.”



“I prefer spring in the woods, I

think. It seems—it’s so foolish of me,

I know; I ought to be contented, but

it’s hard to be contented when it is

always winter in one’s heart. That

frieze of timber on the skyline limits

my world, Mr. Bryce. Hills and timber,

timber and hills, and the thunder of

falling redwoods. And when the trees

have been logged off so we can see the

world, we move back into green tim-

ber again.” She sighed.



“Are you lonely, Moira!”



She nodded.



“Poor Moira!”

sently. g



The thought that he so readily un~

derstood touched her; a glint of tears

was in her sad eyes. He saw them

and placed his arm internally around

her shoulders. “Tut-tut. Moira! Don‘t

Cry,” he soothed her. “I understand

perfectly, and of course we’ll have to

do something about it. You’re too fine

for this.” With a sweep of his hand he

indicated the camp. He had led her

to the low stoop in front of the shanty.

“‘Sit down on the steps, Moira, and

we’ll talk it over. I really called to see

your father, but I guess I don‘t want

to see him after all—~if he’s sick.”



She looked at him bravely. “I didn’t

know you at first, Mr. Bryce. I fibbed

Father isn’t sick. He’s drunk.“



“I thought so when I saw the load—

landing. I’m terribly sorry.”



“I loathe it—and I cannot leave it,”

she burst out vehemently. “I’m chain

ed to my degradation. I dream dreams,

and they’ll never come true. le—oh.

Mr. Bryce, Mr. Bryce, I’m so unhappy.”



“So am I,” he retested. “We all get

Bryce chuckled. “I asked Father

“Thank God. no," she answered

fervently. “Drink or sober, he has

never said an unkind word to me.”



“But how do you manage to get

money to clothe yourself? Sinclair

tells me Mac needs every cent of his

two hundred and fifty dollars a month

to enjoy himself."



“I used to steal from him," the girl

admitted. “Then I grew ashamed of

that, and for the past six months I’ve

been earning my own living. Mr. Sin—

clair was very kind. He gave me a

job waiting on table in the camp din‘

ing-room. You see, I had to have

sOmethlng here. I couldn't leave my

father. He had to have somebody to

take card of him. Don’t you see, Mr.

Bryce?”— .



“Sinclair is a {tidy old fool,” Bryce

declared with emphasis. “The idea of

our woods-boss‘s daughter slinging

hash to lumberjacks. Poor Moira!”



He took one of her hands in his, not-

ing the callous spots on the plump

palm, the thick fingenjoints that hint-

ed of so much tell, the nails that had

never been manicured save by Moira

herself. “Do you remember when I

was a boy, Moira, how I used to come

up» to the logging-camps to hunt and

fish? I always lived with the McTav-

ishes then. And in September, when

the huekleberries were ripe, we used

to go out and pick them together.

Poor Moira! Why, we’re old pals, and

I’ll be shot if I’m going to see you

She glanced at him shyly, with beam-

ing eyes. “You haven’t changed a bit,

Mr. Bryce. Not one little bit!”



“Let’s talk about you, Moira. You

“Yes, I was graduated from the high

“Perhaps," she suggested sadly,

“you had better talk the matter over

with him.“



“No, I'd rather not. I’m fond of

your father. Moira. He was a man

when I saw him last—such a man as

these woods will never see again—and

I don’t want to see him again until

he’s cold sober. I’ll write him a letter.

As for you, Moira, you’re fired, too.

I'll not have you waiting on table in

my logging-camp~not by a jugful!

You’re to come down to Sequoia and

go to work in our office. We can use

you on the books, helping Sinclairfand

relieve him of the task of billing,

checking tallies, and looking after the

payroll. I’ll pay you a hundred dol-

lars a month, Moira. Can you get

along on that?“ .



Her hard hand closed over his tight-

ly, but she did not speak.



“All right. Moira. It’s a. go, then.

cry. We Cardigans had twentyfive

years of faithful service from Donald

Mc’l‘avish before he commenced slip-

Pinl; after all, we owe him something,

I think.”



She drew his hand suddenly to her

lips and kissed it; her hot tears of

joy fell on it, but her heart was too

full for more words.



“Fiddle—de—dee, Moira! Buck up,” he

protested, hugely pleased, but embar-

rassed withal. “The way you take this,

She was sister to him—just another

One of his problems—and nothing

more. “Report on the job as soon as

possible, Moira,” he called to her from

the gate. Then the gate banged be—

hind him, and with a smile and a deb-

onair wave of his hand, he was strid-

ing down the little camp street where

the dogs and the children played in

the dust.



' After a. while Moira walked to the

gate and leaning upon it, looked down

the street toward the loglanding

where Bryce was ragging the laggard

crew into something like their old-time

speed. ‘ Presently the locomotive back-

ed in and coupled to the log train, and

when she saw Bryce leap aboard and

seat himself on a top log in such a

position that he could not fail to see

her at the gate, she waved to him.

He threw her a careless kiss, and the

train pulled out.



Presently when Moira lifted her

Madonna glance to the frieze of tim-

ber on the skyline, there was a new



, glory in her eyes; and 10, it was an-

tumn in the woods, for over that hill



Prince Charming had come to her, and

life was all crimson and gold.



When the train loaded with Cardi~

gan logs crawled in on the main track

and stopped at the log-landing in Pen-

nington's camp, the locomotive un—

\coupled and backed in on the siding

for the purpose of kicking the caboose,

in which Shirley and Colonel Penning-

ton had ridden to the woods, out onto

the main line again—where, owing to

a slight downhill grade, the caboose,

controlled by the brakeman, could

coast gently forward and be hooked on

to the end of; the log-train for the re.

turn journey to Sequoia.



Throughout the afternoon Shirley,

following the battle royal between

Bryce and the Pennington retainers,

had sat dismally in the caboose. She was

prey to many conflicting emotions;

but having had what her sex term "a

good cry,” she had to a great extent

recovered her customary poise—and

was busily speculating on the rapidity

with which she could leave Sequoia

and forget she had ever met Bryce

Cardigan—when the log-train rumbled

into the landing and the last or the

long string of trucks came to a stop

directly opposite the caboose.





Shirley happened to be looking

through the grimy caboose window at

that moment. On the top log of the

load the object of her unhappy specu-

lations was seated, apparently quite

oblivious of the fact that he was back

once more in the haunt of his enemies,

although knowledge that the double-

bitted axe he had so unceremoniously

borrowed of Colonel Pennington was

driven deep into the log beside him,

with the haft convenient to his hand,

probably had much to do with Bryce’s

air of detached indifferenCe. He was

sitting with his elbows on his knees,

his chin in his cupped hands, and a

pipe thrust aggressively out the corner

of his mouth, ‘

moodily at his feet. .



Shirley suspected she knew \what

he was thinking of; he was less than

six feet from her, and amorbid fasci-

nation moved her to remain at the win-

dow and watch the play of emotions

over his strong, stern taco. She told

herself that should he move, should

Built to stay new





HIS has been our idea in car



building for four years. We have

developed it to the limit. We have

been able to prolong newness. By

building with better materials, by add-

ing extra finish. ‘





We are able to build in those lasting

qualities because we supervise every

process, from buying raw materials to

the completed job. We are not ,de—

pendent upon outside parts makers.





So we not only save money for you,

but we guard your interests in build—

mg for you a real economy car.





Upkeep and operating costs have

been brought to a new minimum. We

know, because our parts department

has reached a low ebb in replace-

ments.





The body as well as the mechanical

unit is built to stay new. We build

the bodies ourselves. We add extra

strength, extra braces. We go to ex-

tremes that are rarely practiced in

cars of this price. A finer body is

impossible, for we follow, and have

created, some of the accepted stand-

ards of custom building.





.For a long-life, comfortable, eco-

nomical and stylish car—at a saving

in initial cost, as well as later, this

New Mitchell commands your atten-

tion. We do not believe that you can

find its equal at the price.





Go to a Mitchell dealer, make com»

parisons. See what this New Mitchell .

ofl'ers. Then, if you agree that it is

the finest car at the price, place your

order early, so as to insure early de-

livery.

A Tank for Flat Heavy Land.



The problem of sewage disposal in

flat and badly drained localities, and

where the sub-soil is very heavy, is

more difficult and entails a greater ex-

pense than in well-drained and rolling

land. Nevertheless, some of our best

land is the bottom lands. Where the

land has very little natural drainage

and where the sub-soil is heavy clay or

gumbo, a double compartment tank,

as illustrated in Fig 3, is the only sat-

isfactory solution to the problem. The

sewage flows into a small concrete

compartment? about the same size as

the tank in~Fig. 1, from whence it ov-

erflows into a large storage or collec-

tion chamber, which is built suflicient-

ly large to hold .the accumulation of

two or more weeks sewage. As often

as the second compartment. becomes

full, the sewage is pumped out on the

any other power. The tank is located

fairly close to the house and often the

power can be gotten by belt from a

shaft in the basement which could also

be used for running a churn, separator,

washing machine, etc. The sewage is

spread over quite an area by means of

several lengths of wooden troughs,

In case there is a contagious disease

in the home, the sewage can be readily

the tank is identical to that shown in

Fig. 1. Here the sewage is liquified,

after which it overflowsinto a smaller

compartment, where it accumulates to

a depth of fifteen or sixteen inches,

when an automatic syhpon flushes the

sewage rapidly away into what is com-

In case the ground about the tile is

rather heavy and the water does not

be dug an extra six inches deep and

filled with a half— foot of gravel before

laying the tile, (Fig. 6). Gravel should

also be used to cover the tile to a

depth of about four inches. Often the

land above the absorption tile slopes

Sometimes the ground is high and

to be no plumbing fixtures in the base-

Fig. 8, and if desired a mound “M” of

the excavated dirt could be placed over

the tank to give it added protection

Since it is well to have an intelli-

gent understanding ct all the parts 01"

the sewage disposal system, a brief

space should be given to the principle

upon which the syhpOn works. It con-

sists of two pieces, a cast iron U tube,

usually for farm tanks three inches in-

side diameter; and a cast iron cap





The cap can easily be lifted in case

the syphon clogs. Before the cap is

set in place, the trap in the U tube is





filled with water to the overflow at'





“aa.” Then, as the sewage overflows

from the first compartment into the

second. the liquid rises about the cap

and also underneath same, compress-

ing the air imprisoned under the cap,

and lowering the level at “a” in.the

left leg of the U tube. As the water

level rises this air pressure increases,

until it forces the water in the trap

down to “b,” when the compressed air

escapes, and the sewage following the

air fills the cap almost instantaneously,

and the syphoning action starts and

continues until the sewage is down to

the bottom of the cap. The second

chamber is provided with an over-

flow, which will allow the sewage to

dribble away to the absorption system

in case the syphon becomes clogged.

The overflow also allows a circulation

of air through the absorption tile—an

important point.

The New Aerobic Tank.



A later type of sewage tank has been

developed in recent years. It has giv

en good results in western Canada and

should therefore be satisfactory in our.

milder winter conditions.- Fig. 10

shows a top view and a side section

of the tank. It is only two feet in

depth inside and the main compart-

ment is five feet by six feet. This

larger compartment Contains four

Mort Powerfid Burineu m tfie World? Bruce Barton Amway: T here Question: 232 T112": Article, and Alto tile gamma—-





When IS A BOy





To Churych.





HAVE a friend of nineteen who

I quit going to church last year; and



when I asked him why he had quit,

he answered that a church was doubt-

less a good thing in its way—a nice

place for women and children to meet

On Sunday mornings, but no real place

for a man, or a boy who was almost

a man.



After he left me I got to wondering

about what he had said. Is a church

merely a place for women and children

to go and sit and be preached to, or

at? What is the church anyway? And

at what age is a boy too old to take

any more interest in it?



All of us have the very human habit

of judging the big things of the world

from a few small facts. We pick up

the telephone receiver, and because

central does not answer in a jiffy, we

say‘ “The telephone system is all gone

to pieces.” We ship a parcel to Chi-

cago by express, and if it happens to

be delayed twenty-four hours we think

that the express companies are terri-

bly inefficient. We see a little un-

painted church, with a preacher who

is struggling to support his family on

starvation wages, and we think that

the church is losing out.



But if we could see the thousands

of miles of wire, the great army of





trained employes, and the huge central ‘





stations that are the telephone system,

we would never make a telephone call

without feeling a sense of mystery and

awe. Think of the miracle of it—-—to

be able to sit in your own home, and

without lifting your voice, have it car‘

ried across rivers and mountains for

hundreds of miles. If we stopped to

remember that it took weeks to carry

the news of Cornwallis’ surrender from

Yorktown to New York, we would have

a little better appreciation of the mar-

velous feat that the express company

performs when it carries our parcels

from Chicago to New York not in

weeks, or in days, but in hours.





N the same way we would get a very



different picture of the church if we

could see its world-wide sweep. We

would gain a new respect for the little

unpainted buildings at the country

crossroads, for it is not an isolated

unit, alone and unrelated.



It is really a branch office of the

greatest business in the world. That

business—which is the church—has

more paid employes than the greatest

corporation; it has headquarters in ev-

ery country; its total budget amounts

to hundreds of millions of dollars. It

supports hospitals in every great city;

it cares for thousands of babies in or-

phans’ homes; it is curing sick people

in India and China with its doctors;

and teaching the boys and girls of Tur-

key and Hindustan in its schools.

Don’tydespise the little white church,

then because it is having a hard time.



Remember, first. of all, thatit is just





     





, vrnnegart of a great big whole—the lo-

cal hesdduarters of a business that is





Bigger and finer and more inspiring

than the business or the biggest trust

my corporation that America has ever





‘job for men—big,





 





red— blooded men;

women can help wonderfully, but they

cannot do it alone. .. '



But suppose we go a. little farther

back. Every institution has a right to

be judged not by what folks say about

it, but by what it really Stands for, by

the things that it has done. Suppose

we judge the church on that basis;

and in making our judgment we’ll

omit every argument that is in any

way theoretical. We’ll limit ourselves

to matters that affect you and me, as

young Americans living in 1920.





H0 is the most important mem-



ber of your household? Who is

the one whom all the other members

of the family delight to honor? Who

is the one to whom your father pays

greatest respect? Who has influenced

your life the most? Your mother, of

course. It is our pride, as Americans,

that we honor our mothers above ev-

eryone else on earth. Perhaps it never

occurred to you that honor to mothers





Too Old





on to those savage islands, just as

Christian missionaries have carried it





into. every land. .Wherever the influ—,





ence of Christianity spreads, the lives

of mothers are made brighter andhap-

pier. And any boy who is not too old

to feel a love for his own mother, is

not too old to support an institution

that is making life more worth while

for mothers all over the world.





OME day you will fall in love with



a wonderful girl, and have a home

of your own, and some boys and girls

that will call you “Dad.” When that

time comes you would be Willing to

die rather than have any harm come

to those babies of yours. But do you

know what used to happen to babies

in the olden days? Men did not value

them highly; often they were regard-

ed as a nuisance. Sometimes they

were sacrificed to the heathen gods;

in Egypt for instance, the great irOn

statute of Moloch was heated white

hot, and mothers threw their scream-

cessful Career as a Breeder.





Who





 





 





is a comparatively new thing in the

world. But that is the fact. When

Jesus of Nazareth started His preach-

ing, women were hardly better than

slaves. It was an unheard of thing

which He did—He made them His com-

panions. Of the people closest to Him,

whose names we know, more than half

were women. He gave mothers awhol-

ly newplace in the world; and His

church, in all the ages, has been the

champion of women and of mother-

hood.





There are plenty of places under the

sun where men still treat women as

slaves. In the New Hebrides, for in.

stance, it was the custom, when a man

died, for his wife to be strangled to

doat‘h and buried with him. That cus-

tom would still prevail in the New

Hebrides, probably, it it hadnot been





 





ing infants into its flaming arms. In

Greece babies were left out on the

mountains to die; in China they were

drowned. The world had a very poor





opinion of babies until Jesus of Naz~





areth came. ’





He said: “Suffer the little children

to come unto me and forbid them not;

for of such is the kingdom of Heaven ”

It is to Him that we owe our rever-

ence for babyhood. His Gespel, wher-

ever it has beehicarried,’ has changed

the thought of men about children.

And any boy who some day expects to

have boys and girls of his own, ought

to stand up for the church; 130;; the

tivoly young. The first colleges were.





started by ministers of «the church.

Harvard was founded by John Har-

vard, a Christian minister. William

and Mary, the second celloge, was





founded by a Christian minister. Yale





was founded by a group of Christian

ministers. Amherst, Williams, Darts

mouth and scares of others were start-

ed by church people and supported for

many, many years by contributions

from the churches. Today there are

said to be about four hundred and fifty

thousand-students ’in colleges, univer-

sities, and academies in this country.

And more than half of them are in in-

stitutions supported by the churches.

So any boy who expects to go to col-

lege ought to be glad, to go to church;

for if it had not been for the churches

we should have had no colleges.





YOU may be sickcsome day, serious-



ly sick; you may have to go to a

hospital and that hospital may perhaps

save your life. The chances are it

will be a hospital that was made pos-

sible by the churches and still depends

upon them for most of its support.

There are thousands of boys and girls

in the land whose parents died in their

youth. Things would have gone very

hard for them had it not been-for the

children’s homes that the churches

built and maintain. _



Indeed you can hardly mention a sin-

gle institution or society which exists

for the'c’ommon good that does not

have its roots in the church. And you

know enough about trees to under-

stand how short a time a‘tree can live

after you have severed the roots.





WE celebrate next month the



Fourth of July, the birthday of

our nation. Have you ever stopped to

think who it ,was that gave us the

ideals of liberty that have made Am-

erica? ~Tho§e ideals came across the

ocean in a little boat named the May:

flower. In the cabin of that boat the





first constitution was, drawn up by a





Christian minister and the members of

his congregation. The government they

established for the state was modeled

after the government they had estab-





lished for their church. They chose '





their governors in the same way that





they had chosen their preachers—each *





state choosing its own govei 191‘1 with-

out the consent of kings or emperors

as each congregation had chosen its

own pastor. The very institutions

which we are proud to call American





are institutiOns that were developed,

and tested first by Christian people in,





the organization and government of

the Christian church.

ET us put away this idea that the

. chimch is merely a place for wom-

‘ '2‘ more powerful than any other in the

l motherhood mean what it means to

you and me; an influence that has giv-

en childhood a. place of reverence in

the thoughts of men; an influence that

has created our colleges, and our social

service institutions, and inspired the

" Washington did not outgrow it; Lin-

' coin never was too old to worship un-

der its roof; Webster and McKinley

and Roosevelt, and all the men whose

name and service.

Surely no boy of your age or mine

need be ashamed to follow in the foot-

steps of men like these!

It the ground is fairly solid, no outside

carefully to the preper dimension, and

at once put in a five-inch bottom of

slushy concrete, and after about two

hours, lower the inside form to place

and put in the side walls. Leave the

form in place at least three days, then

remove carefully. One should not use

too many nails in the form work. The

First you get a nice lot of holes, then

wrap some dough around them and

plunge them into the kettle kerplunk.

When they bulge, fish ’em out.

0W do you manage about sug-



ar?” is the cry whenever house-



— keepers meet these days? The

problem is a bothersome one, espe

cially in families with growing‘ chil-

dren, where a certain amount of pure

sweets is necessary for proper growth.

But as we all got used to substitutes

during war times, it shouldn’t be so





now. _



To begin with for you bee-keeping

farmers, there is honey. Nothing, un—

less it be maple sugar and syrup, is so

satisfactory a substitute for cane sugar

as honey, and, if you haven’t it your—

selves there is usually someone in your

neighborhood who dOes keep bees, so

you should be able to get it without

freight charges tacked on to the price.



Then there is maple sugar. Time

was, not so many years ago, when

many farming communities in Michi—

gan had enough “sugar bushes” to sup-

ply the neighborhood at a reasonable

price—though I believe we did grum-

ble then at having to pay twenty-five

cents a quart for maple syrup. Maple

syrup isn’t so plentiful with us now,

but we can still get it in many places,

and this furnishes a most satisfactory

and appetizing sweet.





Either honey or maple syrup served

at meals in limited portions will satis-

fy the craving for sweets, and help the

family to forget they are not getting

the cakes and pastries they have been

accustomed to 'having. This method

of “sweetening" the family, will also

save the cook hours of baking. Then

there are the sweet fruits we can buy

and serve as dessertswfigs, dates, rais-

ins and bananas. The first three fruits

may be cooked with rhubarb or other

tart fruits and serve as sweeteners for

them. Stewed rhubarb, to which has

been added a fourth of a teaspoon of

soda and a half a cup of raisins or

chopped dates or figs will need little

more sweetening. If it does require

more a little syrup or strained honey

will do as well as sugar. ‘

Dates, raisins, prunes and figs a ed

to bread or rice puddings will ive

enough sweetening without the addi-

tion of sugar. Use your own recipe,

omitting the sugar and adding a cup

of raisins or a scant three-fourth of

dates or figs chopped. Although the

price of these fruits may sound high,

they are all about on a level with sug-

ar now. Strained honey or syrup can

also be used to sweeten the breakfast

cereal, if the family can’t eat. it with-

out sweetening. ‘ Cereals really need

no sweet, however, as the starch and

sugar belong to the same class of

foods. The addition of rich milk or

cream only makes a better balanced

food than-the usual way of serving

with sugar and cream or milk. ’

The American palate craves cakes,

and'American cooks try to ,please.

White cake without fine granulated

sugar is an impossibility, but there are

solved in one cup of boiling water, two

tablespoons of melted butter, one tea-

spoon of cinnamon, oneihalf teaspoon

of cloves, mace and salt, and three

cups of flour. Beat until smooth and

bake in gem tins in a moderate even.



There are many recipes for cakes

made with honey. These nearly all call

for some sugar, but the amount is usu-

ally small. Of those following the last

three are Marion Harland’s.



Honey Cake.—-One-half cup of butter,

one-half cup of granulated sugar,~one-

half cup of strained honey, two eggs.

Beat these until creamy yellow. Add

two cups of flour, one rounding tea-

spoon of baking powder, one-eighth

teaspoon of soda—honey always needs

a little soda—sifted together, and one

teaspoon of caraway seed. Bake as a

loaf cake. . ~



Honey Cakes—Sift two cups of flour

and stir into it a cup of sour cream,

two tablespoons of strained honey and

two of granulated sugar, a fourth tea-

spoon of cinnamon and a half teaspoon

of ginger. Beat all thoroughly and add

an even teaspoon of soda dissolved in

two tablespoons of hot water. Beat

hard again and drop in gem tins.

These are especially good eaten hot.



Honey Gingerbread—Beat two ta-

blespoons of strained honey into a half

cup of butter, first warming the butter

slightly. Whip to a cream and then

beat in a tablespoon each of powdered

sugar and ginger. Have ready four

eggs, yolks and whites beaten light

separately, and add these alternately

to other ingredients. Last of all, add

three cups of flour sifted with a heap-

ing teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat

Dutch Honey Cake—To one pound

of bread dough add one pound strained

honey, 9. quarter-cup of butter,-half a

teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and

nutmeg. Work these into the dough

and add the grated. rind of a, lemon, a

quarter pound of candied ginger and

citron, both shredded, the yolks of four

eggs beaten light, and the whites of

two, also beaten, 3. half teaspoon of

soda, dissolved in a little. hot water,

and one cup of flour. Make into a leaf,





and bake covered for forty-five min-..

Cakes to which sauce or jam is ad-

ded may be made and syrup substitut-

measure of syrup than the sugar called

for is needed, as corn syrup is not so

sweet as sugar. Usually a little more

flour should be added.

The Feed That Makes

the Milk Yield





IF you have not made up your mind

as to what is the best feed for

large milk production, for either

summer conditions or heavy feeding

in winter, visit the dairy farmers in

the eastern states and see what they

feed. These farmers are supplying

large markets with milk. Their prin-

cipal production is dairy products.



Ask them what high-protein feed they are

using to make up the main strength of their

rations. The answer will invariably be that

they are feeding Buffalo Corn Gluten Feed,

, and have fed it for a good many years—and,

in a great many cases, their fathers fed it be-

fore them.

’ .5 farms in the state is Boardman Fennel





near Jacksonn The farms comprise

two hundred and eighty acres, which





fl have been devoted to the maintenance





of a. Holstein herd: since 1906. The

present herd sire is King Korndyke





’ Oriékany Pontiac, 8. son of the famous





King Korndyke Pontiac LaSs, who is

now one of the herd sires at Arden

Farms. and the only son of a torty-

\four-pound cow having a thirty-ave-

pound daughter. The dam of this bull

is Oriskany Keyes, who has a record of

31.33 pounds, giving the bull an aver

age of 37.78 for his two nearest dams.





- The Junior herd sire is King Sadie





Vale Korndyke. His sire is the great

Korndyke Sadie Vale. known through-

out the country as one of the greatest

sires of his generotion. He is the only

son of a forty-pound cow having n for-

ty-pound sister and a forty—pound

daughter. In his blood lines we find a

combination of the great Sadie Vale

Concordia family with that of King

Segis in the closest possible degrees.

His dam, Nellie Veemen Pontiac. her-

self a. thirty~pound cow, with two pre-

vious records over twenty pounds, is

a daughter of Sir Korndyke Artis,

fifty-eight A. R. daughters, and from

the great century sire, Sir Veeman

Hengerveld-a combination that has

produced seven thirty-pound cows to

date.



In looking over the females we find

that nearly half of them are grand-

daughters of King of the Pontiacs,

while there is one splendid daughter

of this bull and two daughters of it,

one or these being a thirty-pound cow,

with a thirty-pound dam. The herd was

founded by John W. Boardroom. but is

now owned by his two sons, John W.,

Jr.. and Captain Harry, who have re

cently taken charge of the business.

The brothers are pushing the business

of breeding Holsteins aggressively ond

devoting special attention to Duroc

Jersey swine and poultry.



H. F. Probert, proprietor of Oak-

-croft Farm, is a member of the Coun-

ty Farm Bureau executive committee.

For many years Mr. Probert has been

very prominently identified with the

Jersey interests and some or the to-

mons animals of the breed have been

bred and developed on this farm. The

herd was founded in 1893, and at times

has numbered one hundred and fifty

head. During all these years it has

been the policy of Mr. Probert to breed

and sell the best of the breed. The

herd has always been one of the fore

most in testing. One of the resolutions

of the owner has been to never allow

a cow to remain in the herd unless she

could show .her . ability to make six

hundred pounds of butter in a year.

unless for some special reason. A

rigid system of testing out the future

her sires has always been practiced

before they were used in the herd.

Among the requirements being thathe

must. have the power to ‘ transmit large

milk-producing qualities to his dough-Mu

tors. ten thousand pounds being the





mark, at maturity. In testing the cows ’





all tests have. been made on regular





, feed and with regular care, and in all





these years no tests have been made

on any other basis. The ‘aim being to

‘Orie of the pioneer Holstein breeding





farms in the state is Boardman Farms‘





near Jackson, The farms comprise

two hundred and ‘ eighty acres, which

have been devoted to the maintenance





of a Holstein herd since 1906. The.





present herd sire is King Korndyke





‘ Orlskany Pontiac, a son of the famous





King Korndyke Pontiac Lass, who is

now one of the herd sires at Arden

Farms. and the only son of a forty-

\four-pound cow having a thirty-five-

pound daughter. The dam of this bull

is .Oriskany Keyes, who has a. record of

31.33 pounds. giving the bull an aver-

age of 37.78 for his two nearest dams.

The Junior herd sire is King Sadie

Vale Korndyke, His sire is the great

Korndyke Sadie Vale, known through—

out the country as one of the greatest

sires of his generoticn. He is the only

son of a forty-pound cow having a ton

ty-pound sister and a forty-pound

daughter. In his blood lines we find a

combination of the great Sadie Vale

Concordia family with that of King

Segis in the closest possible degrees.

His dam, Nellie Veemen Pontiac, her-

self a thirty-pound cow, with two pre-

vious records over twenty pounds, is

a daughter of Sir Korndyke Artis,

fifty-eight A. R. daughters, and from

the great century sire, Sir Veeman

Hengerveld—a combination that has

produced seven thirty-pound cows to

date.



In looking over the females we find

that nearly half of them are grand-

daughters of King of the Pontiacs,

while there is one splendid daughter

of this bull and two daughters of it,

one of these being a. thirty-pound cow,

with a thirty-pound dam. The herd was

founded by John W. Boardman, but is

now owned by his two sons, John W..

Jr., and Captain Harry, who have re-





cently taken charge of the business;





The brothers are pushing the business

.of breeding Holsteins aggressively and

devOting special attention to Duroc

Jersey swine and poultry.



H. F. Probert, proprietor 0! Oak-

vcroft Farm, is a member of the Coun.

ty Farm Bureau executive committee.

For many years Mr. Probert has been

very prominently identified with the

Jersey interests and some of the fa:

-mous animals of the breed have been

bred and developed on this farm. The

herd was founded in 1893, and at times

has numbered one hundred and fifty

head. During all these years it has

been the policy of Mr. Probert to breed

that draft horses furnish a most effi-

clentand economical power on the

farm. The supply of good draft horses





falls far short of the demand. ' Fer ‘





several years many of our 7 farmers

and breeders have neglected breeding

their mares. 'In one township in this

state. a recent survey of the horse sit-

uation shows only two yearling colts

and one mare to foal this spring. The

young stock coming on for replace-

ment is not here.



Very few farmers own more horses

at the' present time than are absolutely

needed for their work. Horses of the

right type for farm work are very

scarce. The source of supply of good

daft horses is on the average farm.

Every farmer throughout the country

should breed all his good brood mares

this season to the best available stal-

lion, whatever the fee may be. Each





, farmer who is careful to breed his





mares to a sire of the right type in.

sures his own future supply for re—

placement, and a surplus for market

which will bring a good profit for the

raising.



Prices on draft animals have made

great advances the past six months,

and will continue to go up, governed

by.the law of supply and demand.

These high prices should be an induce

ment to farmers to begin breeding op-

erations at once. The market” has

never been better, nor the future

brighter for draft horses and geldings

with size and quality for farm work

and city use.



The wide-awake farmers realize the

situation in the draft horse world and

are getting busy. They will be richly

rewarded. Those who fail to see the

opportunity will pay dearly for their

negligence.

VETERINARY.





Round White Worms—I have young

horse that is troubled with stomach

Worms which are about the size of a

lead pencil. J. R. E., Hillsdale, Mich.

-——Give him two ounces of turpentine

in twenty ounces of raw (not boiled)

linseed oil every ten days until three

doses have been given.



Sore Eyes—I have a fiveyear-old

gelding that caught cold. Since then

his eyes discharge mucus, which is

quite thick and a yellow color. E. 0.,

Bellaire, Mich—Dissolve forty grains

of boric acid and forty grains of bor-

ate of soda in one-quarter pint of clean

water and apply to eyes three times a

day. Occasionally blow one part cal—

omel and four parts boric acid into

eyes.



Blood-Poison—Weakness. ——I recently

had a three- -year- -old stallion castrated,

he swelled considerable; now when

down is unable to get up. Most of his

weakness is in hind quarters. L. V.

R., Fennville, Mich—Give him one

dram doses of fluid extract of nux vom-

ica and twenty grains of quinine three

times a day. Open wounds and allow

pus to‘ escape; swab out cavity with

tincture of iodine daily. Feed him

plenty of oats and mixed hay.



Sweeny.———I have a nine-year—old

mare that was sweenied last winter.

I blistered her three times, also had

our local Vet. look at her. He said

nothing could be done for her. He

advised me to put her to work, but 1

find work makes her sore all over. She

is stiff in hind quarters and when mov-

ing, cripples along. Have been apply-

ing sweet oil. W. W. H. Alma, Mich.

—Apply equal parts of turpentine,

aqua ammonia and raw linseed oil to

sWeenied parts three times a week.



Fistula on Ear. -——I have a two-year-

old colt that has a hole about the size

of a lead pencil on the edge of ear,

Which runs downward, but it refuses

to heal. The discharge is thick, much

like the white of an egg. Our local

Vet. tells me he has never seen a case

like it. What shall I apply? J. W.,

West Branch, Mich .-—Doubtless this is

a case which requires proper drainage

and if you will rip it open to bottom,





 





or tap it at bottom, might effect a

prodaction. We feel that if the aver-

age factory employs or other workmen

appreciated the gravity or the situa-

tion, he would voluntarily increase his

day’s work from eight to ten hours

until the emergency has passed and

food production in sumcient quantity

is assured.



‘ “Wherever such action will result in

increased crop production, all public

improvements. federal. state. county

and municipal, should be reduced to a

minimum or discontinued during the

present growing and harvesting season

in order that the laborers employed





may be released to help produce food,





101‘ themselves and their neighbors. All

the necessary government machinery

should be invoked to assemble and

allocate such labor as may be avail-

able or recruited in advance of the her

vesting seasons. Sufficient bank cred-

its should be made available to relieve

the present severe strain experienced

in financing farm operations and in

purchasing machinery, fertilizers and

other labor-saving equipment and sup-

plies. All these would tend to relieve

the situation temporarily and save us

from What now seems inevitable food

shortage. The permanent solution

must. ’ of course, eventually come

through a. readjustment of soil fertility

policies, food prices and wages, which

will enable the farmer to pay a wage

that will more nearly compete with

scales prevailing in the cities. We,

the representatives of organized agri-





culture. most respectfuny urge that ’





you give this entire matter your earn-

est. consideration and speedily apply

such remedial measures as this critical

situation warrants."



Farmers who come to Washington

from all parts of the country are pleas-

ed with the decision of the supreme

court in favor of constitutional prohi-

bition and the Volstead enforcement

act, and removing. all uncertainty as

regards the "legal status of prohibi-

tion. There may be some sentiment

in opposition to prohibition and its

rigid enforcement in the cities. but it

is evident from the opinions of farm-

ers who visit the nation’s capital that

no such sentiment is to be found in

the open country.

FIRST: EDITION.





The market reports in this edition





 





were revised and corrected on T uesr





day afternoon, June





WHEAT





New wheat to arrive is being offered

freely in Chicago and Minneapolis

where a brisk demand is reported The

winter wheat crop shows considerable

improvement for the month of May,

although the forecast for June 1 is

over 50,000,000 short of the five-year

average from 1914-1918. The recent

cool Weather has favored the crop. The

visible .supply shows a decrease of'3,-

394,000 bushels during the past week.

The flour market is steady and the de-

Detroit quo-





 





tations are as follows:

No.1red ............... 33.00

No. 1 mixed............ 2.98

No.1 white 2.98

No. 2 red-00.00.;OOCIIIO 2-97

Non 3 redOOOOOIOOOIOOOOI 2.94





CORN





New high values for the year have

been established in Chicago despite

aggressive selling. The upturn of val-

ues is due chiefly it appears, to the

fact that receipts have fallen far below

expectations. The visible supply has

changed very little since a week ago.

The transportation situation seems to

be partly responsible for the low sup-

plies at market centers. N0. 2 mixed

corn is quoted in Chicago at 31.89%,@

1901/2. The Detroit market has not

followed the advance in Chicago, and

quotations here are as follows:



Cash No. 3, ............. 31.95

No. 3 yellow ....... 2.00

No.4 yellow............ 1.95

No. 5 yellow............ 1.91

No.6 yellow............ 1.88





OATS





This grain rules firm with a good

local demand. Favorable crop 1eports

fiom various sections has somewhat

tempered the bullish tone of the trade.

Considerable damage, however, has

been done in the Ohio valley. While

the estimated crop for this year is

about 100,000,000 bushels short of the

five-year average from 1914-1918, it is

considerably larger than last year’s

small crop. Quotations at Detroit are:





Cash N0. 2 white .......$1.26



No.3white . W. 1.27



No. 4 White Ill-OCOCIOCO 1026

RYE





The forecast for this crop places it

nearly 10,000,000 bushels less than last

year’s bumper crop. There is little

activity and cash No. 1 is quoted local-

ly at 32.25 per bushel.





BEANS





A further reduction is noted in local

bean values, notwithstanding the fact

that elevators throughout Michigan re-

port lower stocks than are usually held

in the elevators at this season. A fair-

ly liberal acreage is being planted by

Michigan farmers. At Chicago the

trade is quiet, with the supply limited.

Choice to fancy hand-picked pea beans

are quoted there at $8@8.50, and red

kidneys at 315@15.50. Immediate and

prompt shipment are held at 37.25 at

Detroit. In New York domestic white

beans are almost at a standstill but

holders are not offering concessions in

order to influence sales. Choice pea

beans are quoted there at 38@8.25.





FEEDS





Trade is steady to firm, being sup-

ported by a good demand. Quotations

are: Bran 358@59; standard middlings

359Q60; fine midlings 360@62; coarse

corn meal 375@77; cracked com 385?)

POTATOES





The shipment of new pctatoes from





the South is increasing rapidly in vol-

ume, and markets are generally a lit-

tle weaker. * At Detroit No. 1 Irish

cobblers are sold at 312 per barrel and

No. 2’s at 39. A few 'old potatoes are

still being received in Chicago and are

selling at 35Q-5_.50 per cwt.





BUTTER





With the demand from all classes of

the. trade for all grades of butter, pric-

es are being maintained on a“ higher

basis this week. In Detroit extra

creamery is now ranging from 53@



5.41/40 and creamery piints.’at 531/4512

56c. The spread in Chicago is from

43@56c for creamery stock. New York

business is firm at 53@59%c, and

western creamery extra commands 59c

in Philadelphia.





CHEESE





The conditions of this market are

little changed. Production is holding

up fairly well and the outlet is good.

At Chicago Cheddars are quoted at

24%@250, and Young Americas at 26

((1)261/20. On the local market Michi-

gan flats bring 25%@260, and single

daisies 261/20. The New York market

is firm with whole milk flats, current

make at 25141817261240. In Philadelphia

prices range from 23@27c.





EGGS





The quality of current receipts is

110w becoming more irregular and the

spread in quotations for the different

grades is widening; At Chicago firsts

are quoted at 37%@49%c; ordinary

firsts 33@34c; at mark, cases included

POULTRY





0





Elton attention is being given to the





poultry deal and while receipts are suf-

ficient, they are being tolerably well

cleaned up from day to day. Broilers

are quoted here at 55@600; hens 32617,

33c; small hens 30Q31c; rodsters 19@

210; geese 20@22c; ducks 32@33c;

turkeys 38Q40c per pound.





WOOL





It seems now most fortunate that





wool producers throughout the central





states have generally organized to pool

their wool and place it upon the mar~

ket as the demands of the trade may

require. Had individual producers

thrown their fleeces upon buyers, with

the money situation tightening up as

it has-and the curtailment of buying

by the brokers as a result of this and

the traffic situation, the wool would

undoubtedly be bringing a very insig-

nificant price, to 'say the least. vRep-

resentativeslof several» wool growers'

and dealers’ associations are now in

Washington urging the Federal Re-

serve Board to provide immediate re—

lief for the wool-producing industry.

It is planned to place the business on

the list of essential industries, which

would entitle it to the first support of

the reserve banks. Wool growers in

the central west met at St. Louis and

after considering the situation advised

their members to hold their offerings

until higher prices are quoted. Grease

wool, it was pointed out at that meet-

ing, is now quoted at around 35c as

compared to 700 a year ago.

NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.





 





Button—Receipts of butter during

the_week have been disappointingly

small as compared to those for this

tifne in previous years. Receipts for





the same week last year were practi-'





cally 92,000 packages, while those for

this week were fully 25, 000 short of

that. It is very apparent that pro-

duction is much lower than in previ-

ous years. Speculators are not operat-





ing freely because of high prices and,





also because banks are curtailing their,

advances on butter in storage. Some

butter is arriving from Holland and





Denmark but the quantity is not large ,





enough to affect the market in any

way. Much of the imported butter is

showing mold. There has been a con-

tinued upward tendency to the mar-

ket, prices having advanced three

cents since Monday. Established quo-

tations are: Extras 571,4 @58c high-

Do you know that-we have an unusual

Wire that may be of special interest to you?_





There are somerwho do not want a

<tire of the standard-grade and who do not want

ito go to the COSt of a Cord - something between

Ithe two. For those we have a truly' distinctive;

Wire in the Fisk Red-Top. .





This tire is generously oversized, has

‘an“extra ply of fabric with an extra heavy tread.

:all of which gives exceptional strength and

endurance. Its attractive color gives itxa dis-

tinction which the discriminating buyer likes.



The use‘of this tire when an overload

exists will prove its economy. It is made in the

p0pular sizes only, up to and including 4%". It

is the best fabric tire made and its slightly

added cost over the standard fabric tire will be.





money well spent.





Tell your dealer you went to buy a

Red-Top if you do not want to go to the expense

of a Cord. All dealers will be glad to Supply

you and our chain of 140 distributing houses

assures you of fresh stock from your dealer.





 





Very truly yours,
