CURRENT COMMENT.

OME thousands of
country-bred young

 

 

 

Tile Farm men have just grad-
," the uated from the high
Balance schools of the state,

and are weighing, if
they have not already decided, the
momentous question of a life career.
A proportionate few of these young
men have a strong natural bent or
inclination toward some special life
work and will pursue the object of
this inherent ambition with a tenacity
which will insure success. A far
larger number will, if history repeats
itself, play the part of the opportun-
ist by choosing a present occupation
in some easily attainable and imme-
diately remunerative line of work.

This tendency to follow the line of
least resistance in our industrial life
is far more general than most of us
appreciate. We are largely creatures
of accident. Even strong predillec-
tions are subordinated to the pres-
sure of circumstances, or are re-
pressed to take advantage of what
seems to be a good opportunity to
make an immediate or early improve-
ment in our financial condition. More
generally than otherwise. the antici-
pated benefits fall short of anything
like complete realization, and there is
continued disappointment over a mo-
notonous existence and a vain long-
ing for :“what might have been.”

Too few young men approach the
all-important problem of choosing a
career with an eye to the attainments
of a more or less distant future. Quite
naturally the problems of the present
are first and most thoroughly consid-
ered. As a result many young men
have left the farm for other employ-
ment at a time when the future is ex-
ceedingly bright for the progressive
farmer. The country bred young men
who are just now engaged in the con-
sideration of the momentous problem
of choosing a career would do well to
consider this out100k, while weighing
the farm in the balance with a high
industrial wage. And if they take
counsel with older men and men in
other lines of business as well, the
decision reached is likely to be one of
greater wisdom.

In weighing the farm against other
careers, present difficulties of farm
management, particularly the shortage
of farm labor, are likely to be placed
in the balance against the farm, in-
stead of in its favor. A little thought
should, however, convince the young
man who is considering this question
that this very handicap is certain to
react in favor of the fender who
stloks to his job and makes the most
of the page!“ non Shortage of

i

   

farm laborrmeans lessened production
along some lines. It also means in-
creased urban consumption. Together
these factors mean, remunerative
prices for farm products.

Economists of the business school
believe implicitly in the ultimate in-
fluence of the old law of. supply and
demand. They believe that prices for
food stuffs must rise to a relatively
higher scale of comparative values,
which will enable the farmer to suc~
cessfuly compete with the manufac-
turer for needed labor, and which will
return the farmer and his family a
more adequate labor income.

The country bred young men who
are up against the great problem of
choosmg a career would do well to
consider these economic facts before
deciding against farming as a career.

EXT WEEK an
important meet-

Great Lakes ing will be held in
to Sea Detroit in the Great
Waterway Lakes St. Lawrence
Tidewater Congress,

at which at least onevthird of the
states will be represented. The pro«
gram will touch on the varied aspects
of this great project, from the stand-
points of science, tranSpOI‘tation,man-
ufacturing, marketing and statesman-
ship. But in one respect, the opinions
voiced at this Congress will be alike,
in that they will voice approval of this
vast project as a joint undertaking of
the United States and Tanada.

This project has been a dream of
progressive thinkers for many years,
and was looked on as such by the av-
erage man of practical affairs. But
the war has given many of these con
servative, practical men a new vision
of the feasibility of great undertakings,
while the transportation and fuel diffi-
culties growing out of the war have
made the possibility of ocean ports on
the Great Bakes and millions of avail-
able horsepower which the scheme
might develop seem more attractive

possibilities.
This Congress, which was called
upon the invitation of the Detroit

Board of Commerce, will be of great
educational value in bringing to the
attention of the people of this state
the advantages to be derived from the
development of this project and seine
knowledge of its practicability. Our
readers will be interested in the delib-
erations of this Congress, which will
be held on July 22 to 24, inclusive,
some of the important phases of which
will be reported in these columns.

O’l‘ MANY years

ago this state

,Forestry boasted of the finest
POI’CY forests in the land

Needed} and the business of

turning the trees into
products useful to man constituted one
of her chief industries. But now
things have changed. Practically all
of the great forests are gone; the old
improvised lumber camps are moved
to other parts, the sawmills are scat-
tered, and the secondary wood manu-
facturing plants are rapidly going out
to where raw material‘is more plen-
tiful.

Everyone knows that the work of
deforesting the state was carried on
with unwarranted waste, and it. is the
opinion of thinking men that if a sen-
sible policy had been inaugurated
while the virgin forests yet stood, the
commonwealth would have contributed
as much to the advancement of the
nation as it has and still left its peo-
ple with a great inheritance of natural
forest resources—resources which
would have been of untold value today.
As maladies seem necessary to teach
us the lesson of sanitation, and con-
flagrations the value of fire preven—
tion, so perhaps the wrecking of Mich-
igan’s forests ‘was necessary .to "im-

woodlot, the need of a state forest
policy and a feeling of individual re-
sponsibility and opportunity in this
connection that will give to succeeding
genenations the advantage of having a
liberal and even supply of forest
products.

Federal Crop Report

EN ERALLY speaking, s t a p l e

crops showed improvement dur-
ing the month of June, according to
the figures just compiled by the Crop
Reporting Board of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates.

Wheat—The total production of
wheat is now placed at 809,000,000 bu.
as against 781,000,000 bu. a month
earlier, 941,000,000 bu. as the final es-
timate for 1919, and a five year aver-
age from 1914-1918 of 822,000,000 bu.
The estimates of the winter wheat crOp
are now 518,000,000 bu., which is near-
ly 200,000,000 less than last year’s
crop and nearly 50,000,000 less than
for the five years noted above. Mich-
igan’s crop is figured at 13,451,000 bu.
as against 19,285,000 bu. for 1919, and
a five year average of 15,253,000 bu.

Corn—The acreage of this crop is
reported as one and a half per cent
above that of a year ago, and the con-
dition of July 1st as about 1 per cent
better than the average condition for
the past ten years. From these facts
the Bureau figures a crop of 2,779.-
000,000 bu. for the United States,
which is 19,000,000 bu. greater than
the average for 19141918, and 150,-
000,000 bu. less than last year’s crop.
The prospects in Michigan are for a
production of 6,500,000 bu. more than
for the average of the five years end-
ing 1918, but. about 8,000,000 bu. less
than were produced in 1919.

Oats—While the acreage of this crop
is a little shy of the total for 1919,
the prospective production is estimat
ed at 1,322,000,000 bu., as compared
with 1,248,000,000 bu. for 1919, and an
average production for the five years
1914-1918 of 1,415,000,000 bu. The out—
look for the crop in Michigan is
somewhat brighter than a year ago,
the present prospects being for a 47,-
371,000 bu. crop as compared with 36,-
875,000 bu.,a year ago. The five year
average, however, from 1914-1918 is
55,964,000 bu.

Barley—There is scarcely no change
in the acreage devoted to this crop as
compared with the crop of 1919, and
the condition is .a fraction better, ac-
cording to the figures of the crop cor—
respondents. Present prospects are
for a 193,000,000 bu. crop. -The five
year average is 215,000,000 bu.

'Rye—Farmers reduced the amount
of ground devoted to rye production,
and the prospective crop of 82,000,000
bu. is therefore about 6,000,000 short
of last. year’s bumper crop, but far in
excess of the five year average. which
is 59,900,000 bu. ,

Potatoes—Earlier -in the 'season it
was feared that the high cost of seed
would greatly curtail the acreage de-
voted to white potatoes. The figures

of the Bureau indicate a decrease of‘

about 4 per cent compared with 1919.
The condition of the crop on July 1
was enough better, however, to over-
come the deficiency and give promise
of a yield‘ of 388,000,000 bu., as com-
pared with 358,000,000 bu. for 1919,
and 383,000,000 bu. for the five year
average of 1914-1918.

Hay—Substantially the same acre-
age is given over to this crop as ob-
tained a year earlier. The estimated
tonnage is now 84,800,000 as com-
pared with 91,300,000 tons a year ear-
lier and 81,400,000 tons the five year
average.

Apples—The prospective commercial
apple crop is 30,200,000 barrels, as com-
pared with 26, 200,000 barrels a year
ago. The condition of this crop has
shown some decline in the past month,
due to a heavy June fall -'

' N a former article in the Michigan
Farmer, the potato “seed situation
of this peculiar year was discussed,

and the plea made for treating the

high-pricedseed so that astand might
be assured and scab prevented. In the
argument advanced, the change in rat-
ing that the potato crop had attained,

' because of its changed place in the

great markets, was pointed out and it
was urged that this crop be no longer
a “fill in,” quick-money crop, but could
now be looked upon as a fixed asset to
.the farmer’s business. It seemed,
therefore, right that a high investment
and high-yielding crop should be given
high-class treatment. '

If these arguments were valid in the
question of seed preparation and treat-
ment they are doubly so in the matter
of proper handling of the crop after it
comes above the ground. At the time
this ticle appears the situation is
simpl this-will the farmer win or
lose on the‘ late potato yield this year?
Upon the decision either to care for or
neglect the potato plants after they
come above the ground depends upon
the crop.

Is it to be a clean crop or a blight-
ed, insect-eaten one?

,It is not proposed to argue the case
further. The farmer’s crop is his own
and to him comes the responsibility of
care. It can be shown, however, with-
out any difficulty, that the solution of
the problem in increasing production
does not lie after all in securing phe-
nomenal varieties and the like, but
rather-the solution rests in the greater
conservation of the crop we already
have in our fields. I shall assume,
then, that this article is to be read by
men who are open~minded on the
spraying proposition and who are ready
to accept the evidence, and then ask
what is the best practice to be adopted.

Spraying potatoes is no new thing.
It is no untested thing. Evidence as
to its merits exists in every potato-
growing state in the Union, and the
records are of the most satisfying sort.
In Vermont over twenty-five .years of
tests are available for study. In New
York, which parallels Michigan condi-
tions in many ways, twenty years of
trials have accumulated. Year after
year in Michigan similar work has
been carried on. And from all these
sources the story is the same. At the
{Vermont Station, to quote the words
of Bulletin No. 159:

“Bordeaux mixture, even in years
like 1910, when no blight occurred, in-
creases the yield of the plants to which
it is applied. This’increased yield is

' always sufficient to pay for the cost of

spraying operations. Spraying is to be
regarded as an insurance that pays for
itself. If the blights are prevalent, the
potatoes, if thoroughly spray-

ed, are insured against loss.

:therefrom; if the season is a

dry one and no disease occurs,

still the cr0p will be enough

.larger to pay all the costs of

spraying. The careful potato

sprayer Wins either way, no .
matter what the weather or

disease conditions.” .

Again at the New York Sta-
vtion.ten years of spraying
'give the following conclusions
in New York (Geneva) Bulle-
‘tin No. 349:

“In the so-called ten-year ex-
periments the ten-year aver-
age increase in yield is as fol-

periments, (six to fifteen each year),
the nine-year averages are as follows:

Increase in yield, 36.1 bushels per
acre.

Total expense of spraying, $4.74 per
acre.

Net profit from spraying, $14.43 per
acre.

In two hundred and five volunteer
experiments, covering seven years, the
average increase in yield was 54.3
bushels per acre.

These experiments demonstrate, be—
yond a doubt, that the spraying of po-
tatoes is highly profitable in New
York.” '

Michigan figures for 1905 showed a
gain of 39.5 bushels per acre of the
sprayed over the unsprayed. In 1911
in a test on the college grounds the un-
sprayed portion yielded eighty bushels
per acre, and the sprayed one hundred
and nineteen bushels per acre.

BUT for the best Michigan figures
available we must turn to the ex—
perience of that veteran potato expert,
Hon. Jason Woodman, of Paw Paw,
who has been growing bumper crops
of sprayed potatoes for more than
twenty years and he states that we
may confidently expect gains in yield
from spraying to more than repay the
cost year in and year out.
But these are figures and facts of a
few years’ back; interest always lies
in the matter now at hand. And even

in this, data that are convincing are

not lacking, for spraying in Michigan
continues to be profitable. In 1915
sprayed fields gave one hundred and
fifty bushels of high-grade potatoes,
while an unsprayed strip gave around
one hundred bushels of low-grade
tubers.

In other tests the sprayed outyielded
the unsprayed more than one hundned
per cent. In New York in. 1918, spra‘y—
ing showed an increase of around twen-
ty-eight bushels to the acre in eight or
ten counties and a net profit of $34.
Ten years’ results in Minnesota show
an average increase of fifty-four bush-
els per acre. This recent experience
teaches the same lesson as the figures
in the classic examples, namely, that
year in‘and year out spraying is a
practice which increases the potato

crop more than enough to pay for
itself.

Right here is the place to sound a
word of warning. Potato spraying is
not the keystone of the potato struc~

  

It will not turn poor, low-grade,
It will

ture.
mixed seed into fancy stock.
not kill weeds, nor will it take the
place of drainage and cultivation. It
is the finishing block that completes a

properly put up building. It will hot
make a depauperate, starved vine yield
enormously, but it will take a well-fed,
well-cared-for plant and make it do its
best! It will show little results on the
stinted crop, but it will take the yield
of one hundred and fifty bushels to the
acre and make it more nearly two hun-
dred. And if the season is right, it
will take the two—hundred-and-fifty-
bushel field and make it yield three
hundred, yes, even four hundred bush-
els to the acre. It is the Spur which
drives the potato over the top for a
bumper yield.

It is not a hard matter to show that
in agriculture the low-yielding crop
about breaks even with the cost of
production, and that it is the excess of
yield over the average which gives the
farmer a bank account. General pro-
duction-costs are about the same, over-
head is the same for a low yield and a
high yield, but the one does not give
the farmer any more than wages, while
the high yield gives the pleasing re-
turns.

F‘ the story of potato spraying is

;read aright from the great mass of
accumulated experience so hastily pre-
sented, it is to be seen that it is a win—
ning proposition year in and year out.
Fundamentally, potato spraying is giv-
en for the same reason that any plant
spraying is practiced, namely, protec—
tion against diseases and insect at—
tack. But notice that where spraying
of apples is an expense to be charged
to the apple crop, the results from pc-
tato spraying outweigh the costs year
in and year out, and it becomes a farm
practice which more than pays for
itself.

Conservatively placing the results
from spraying with the average good
field in Michigan at a fifteen to twenty-
five bushel increase in yield. even with
potatoes at $1.00 per bushel, the gross
return from spraying would be $15 to
$25, whereas the cost of the treatment
in material and labor would be some—
thing under $10 an acre. For many

ure—a bit of crop insurance, if you
please, which nets a sizable return.

.13 must consider next the things

'which lead farmers to spray.
The practice of sprinkling for the po-
tato beetle is common, and is not in
the domain of this article. The spray-
ing discussed here concerns itself with
the application of fungicides to control
leaf diseases. Incidentally, it may be
remarked that the Spraying and insect
control are readily handled together.

The chief disease which spraying in-
sures against is late blight. We know
enough of this disease which comes in
wet seasons and which blights the tops
and rots the tubers, either in the
ground, or in storage, to be able to
predict fairly far in advance when this
disease is to be serious.

Late blight is carried to the field in
diseased tubers and if the first half of
the growing season is cold and wet——
in short, if July has frequent rainy pe-
riods, then we may confidently expect
blight if the month of August is even
moderately rainy. The fanner will re—
ceive warning through the press if
late blight is at hand and if it is dis-
covered in any of the counties by our
county agents who are ever on the
alert for this disease. Even late spray—
ing, if undertaken before the blight has
taken the crop, will do wonders in stop-
ping the ravages of the disease.

Potato-leaf diseases are peculiar. If
the season is wet the farmer has late
blight. If it is fairly dry then he has
troubles of a different sort. Year in
and year out early blight comes and
makes'vines unthrifty. The leaves be-
come a sickly yellow and are peppered
with black spots—about the size of a
dime.

I‘ is the common thing to see potato
leaves with half of their surface kill—
ed. NOW every farmer knows that the
leaf surface spread out into the sun
makes the starch which is stored in
the tuber. A plant with half its leaf
surface killed iS' working about half its
normal rate and this effect registers in
the crop. Potato early blight in the
ordinary Michigan season shortens ev-
ery unsprayed crop of potatoes. The
early blight is the “nigger in the wood
pile” in many .of the gains in yield
which spraying brings about. In years
when late blight does not operate, and
we have had no general potato late
blight outbreak since 1915, spraying
heads off the early blight in its on-
slaught on the potato wood pile! Early
blight is probably a greater lossvpro—
ducer in the aggregate than the late
blight since the latter comes
only occasionally—1902, 1903,
1905, 1912 and 1915 were
blight years. Whereas, early
blight is always on the job
and is always causing yield
reductions.

But, so far I have not touch-
ed on what the farmer calls
blight. He looks on the last
three years as “blight” years.
He has seen the fields, espe-
cially last year, wither and
dry up—that is blight enough
for him (i), yet true blight
has been absent.

For years this drying up of
leaflets at the top, and the
burning and rolling at the

- edges has been called by
the plant pathologists, “Tip
Burn.” Many theories have
.been advanced to explain it,
and in general it was thought
that the, disease, arose from

Saginawgcounty is ingest! fortunate

T H E

 

The Morleytown Agricultural Club is a Real Live institution.

EFORE I begin my story on Sagi-
B naw county, with some interesting

sidelights on the progress of a
highly progressive farming population,
it may be well to remind our readers
of a few facts which place the county
among the leading communities in the
state.

In point of area Saginaw is one of
the largest counties in Michigan hav-
ing no less than twenty-seven town-
ships; and its favorable location gives
it a decided advantage in many ways.
Near the geographical center of lower
Michigan, with the largest river flow-
ing through its middle from south to
northwa river navigable to a large
type of lake vessels for twenty miles
to its source, and draining a territory
far greater than the area of Saginaw,
it has all the natural features that
could be desired by an ambitious farm-
ing community. At about its center is
the prosperous and growing city, rank-
ing third in the state in everything
(except population) that makes a city
worth living in for permanent resi—
dence. Saginaw is the great railroad
shipping center for central Michigan,
with its railroads spreading out in all
directions like the spokes of a wheel,
and it occupies a commanding position
as a market for farm products and as
a great supply depot for the farmer’s
needs. '
Fertile Fields Replace Dense Forests.

Where once stood the stately forests
of cork pine and hardwoods along the
tributary streams, forests which pro-
duced the finest lumber known to the
trade, there are now broad fertile
fields of alfalfa, grain, corn, sugar
beets, cabbage and almost every crop
grown in Michigan. Dotting the land-
scape are comfortable and pretentious
farm homes, many with all the modern
conveniences of city homes, and large
barns and outbuildings of approved
construction, glistening with fresh
paint, while in green pastures are big
herds of cattle, some of pedigreed
strain, flocks of sheep and other farm
animals. In some respects Saginaw
county leads the state, notably in rais-
ing famous Belgian draft horses and
Duroc Jersey swine, in the production
of sugar beets and in the culture of
mint and pedigreed seeds. It has won
more first awards on improved grain
than any county at the Michigan Crop
Improvement Annual Exhibit at the
Michigan Agricultural College. And
Saginaw is in the forerank in organiz-
ing cooperative farm associations.

A Revelation of Prosperity.

In this happy paradise of contented,
prosperous people it was my good for-
tune to wander and mingle freely with
the hospitable farming population.
What ~I learned in this pleasant so—
journ was a surprise and in some re-
Spects a revelation—the things that go
into the making of an interesting story
of rural life with all its lure and
charm.

and prosperous farmers for the com—
mon good. What impressed me most,
and probably impresses all persons
conversant with the aims and objects
of the County Farm Bureaus, is that
they are organized for business. This
is something that the average farmer
is apt to be in need of, and in cooper-
ation with thousands of other workers
in the same business, he finds many
helps and benefits. “All city workers,
even messengers, scrub women and
dish-washers are thoroughly organized
into unions, why should not the farm—
ers—representatives of the biggest in-
dustry of all, be organized for their
mutual benefit,” asks the county agent.

The answer to this question is found
in a narration of the good work al-
ready done, and of the business-like
manner in which the movement is
broadening out into a number of town—
ship cooperative associations, some
with limited scope it is true, but all
with definite objects to pursue.

The Saginaw County Farm Bureau

all that promotes the prosperity of the
farming population. He is an outstand-
ing figure in our rural life.

H is Assistant—M r. Barman.

The earnest assistant director is
Lawrence Bannan, a young man of
earnest purpose and ambition to rise in
his chosen field of endeavor. He was
born in Saginaw and received his ed-
ucation in the city schools. After five
years of study in agriculture, including
a special course at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, which was concluded
in 1919, he came to the Saginaw coun-
ty agricultural work in the spring of
the present year, making a specialty
of the culture of pedigreed seed and
the organization of township farm bu-
reaus.

A newcomer to Saginaw county is
Arthur L. Strang, in charge of the
Boys' and Girls’ Club work, the ob
jects and aims of which and the activ-
ities directed by Mr. Strang, being
given in another paragraph.

Farm Bureau Organizations.

Of all the numerous activities of the
county leaders the work of organizing
Farm Bureaus is the most important.
It is a vast labor union of the farmers
and must eventually prove of inestima—
ble benefit to them. The features of
this vast movement among producers
of the people’s food are perfect organ-

agriculture I learned that the main pur-
pose of creating strong and efficient
Farm Bureaus were.

ditions.

During the following week township
organization work in the county, which
had been in progress for some time.
was practically completed and resulted
in a number of strong units. These
organizations were largely cooperativ 1
associations; and some others already
in operation,’of more or less a cooper
ative nature, were merged with Farm
The main pur-

ter marketing conditions and to pro-
vide a general purchasing agency for
their members. To insure permanency
of these associations the individual
members taking stock tender payment
in the form of collateral notes, each in
the sum_ of $100. This requirement of
good faith in each member is a sort of
guarantee that he will give the associa-
tion his earnest support and carry out
his obligations to it; and it also serves
to lend a feeling of personal interest
as a partner in the‘enterprise.

“The practical plan pursued,” said
Mr. Bovay, “was to incorporate each
district unit with regard to the most
convenient shipping point for a major-
ity of its members, also considering
improved highways, rather than town-
ship lines as its boundaries. Thins, we
have the southern townships, Maple
Grove, Chesaning, Brady, Brant 'and
Chapin uniting in a permanent associa-
tion with the village of Chesaning as
its marketing and Shipping center. This
is a very prosperous district of highly
intelligent peeple
with numerous agricultural, stock rais~
ing and canning clubs, and the com-
munity activities are managed with
skill and efficiency."

“Likewise, the Hemlock Farm Bu~
reau Cooperative Association was or-
ganized with the aid of John W. Nich.
olson, of the State Farm Bureau, with
a membership at the first meeting of
fifty—four farmers signing collateral
notes amounting to $10,000. This as-
sociation has already improved the
marketing of live stock, having made
several shipments direct to Detroit.

felt by Saginaw stockmen, many of
whom are tired of paying freights to
Chicago or other markets on their
stock. In many casesstock thus shipq.

An effort is thus being made to de

Mr. Nicholson also aided in the or-
ganization of a Farm Bureau cooper-
ative association at Freeland, at which
time forty—six farmers of Tittabawas-
see and Kochville townships, and a
few in Midland county, signed as
charter members tendering collateral
notes to the total of $8,000. This asso-
ciation will. handle farm produce on a
large scale and conduct as much of
their purchasing as possible on a co-
operative plan. _

The Marion township farmers joined
with those of Lakefield and Jonesfield
toWnships in a cooperative association
at Merrill, a convenient shipping point
for the western townships.

Frankenmuth Has Biggest Bureau.

The record Farm Bureau of Saginaw
county is the Frankenmuth Farm Bu-
reau Cooperative Association, having
nearly one hundred and fifty members.
The board of directors, composed of
Alfred Grueber, Christian Gugel, 1m-
manuel Trinklein, Carl Muehseld, Geo.
M. Bierlein, Alfred Kraft and Frank
Frahm, laid plans for incorporation
and drafted an outline for the bylaws,
and a week later perfected organiza-
tion with a subscribed capital of $10,-
000. Blumfield farmers, in the rich
township lying directly north’ of Frank—
enmuth joined this association for rea-
sons of expediency, and with an active
market in the thriving village of
Frankenmuth, this association is one
of the strongest in the county.

To improve the marketing of grain
in the northeast part of the county,
Mr. Bovay, in company with Mr. Nich-
olson, showed the farmers the advan-
tages of the Reese Cooperative Ele-
vator joining with the State Farm Bu-
reau Elevator Exchange, and’ this Will
probably be brought about before long
by the farmer members directly inter-
ested in the local elevator.

upon to assist in drafting a suitable
ordinance to provide for better and
uniform quality, and to encourage an
increased consumption of milk. The
spirit of cooperation between city ofli—
cials and the county agent represent-
ing the farming community is very
commendable, and should bring about
a better feeling and closer sympathy
among the farming community and city
dwellers. Their highest interests are
common interests of all, and neither
can prosper without a helpful coopera-
tion of the other. The prosperity of
one is generally a measure of the pros-
perity of the other, if there exists a
Spirit of coordination among the pro-
gressive elements ofa community.

Birch Run Comes Into Line.

Birch Run farmers, at the extreme
southeast corner of the county, met
together and subscribed to the capital
stock of $10,000 in a local cooperative
association with the expectation of
greatly improving the marketing con-
ditions there. “The farmer realizes he
is at a disadvantage,” they say, “in deal-
ing with the men who buy his products
and especially the large corporations

We find that Saginaw has introduced

organized Farm Bureau associations in

will be acting local business manager
of any local that may need him until
the local has had an opportunity to
secure a permanent man. The county
organization guarantees Mr. VVard’s
salary while the locals pay for the ac—
tual service rendered. This arrange~
ment will take good care of those lo-
cals who do not readily find a compe-
tent manager, giving them more time
to 100k and in the meantime permitting
the work to start under capable lead—
ership.
Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work.

In a general way the purpose of the
Boys’sand Girls’ Club work is to instill
in their minds a sense of responsibility
and a pride of ownership and to teach
them to become good and self-reliant
citizens. It is also the aim of the
leader to get the boys and girls in the
habit of raising the best live stock and
crops, and to encourage a pride in
their work so that in the future, when
these boys and girls take charge of the
farms, they will be able to carry on
the work in an efficient manner and

norms improve? union the . .mesent-I

     

  

  

methods of American agriculture.

“Our aim in this county,” said Mr.
Strang, the energetic club leader for
Saginaw, “is to cultivate a. close coop-
eration between the County Farm Bu-
reau and the farm boys and girls, and
by working through the boys to pro—
duce in this county more uniform
stock and crops in the future, so that
when the, produce from this country is
placed on the. market it will be uni-
form and command the best prices.”

“We realize that in the near future
the farmers will be confronted with
different problems than those of today.
Methods of standardization of both
crops and stock will be introduced. Our
aims are to get the boys interested to
the extent that they will meet the new
problems as they arise, according to
methods approved by the agricultural
colleges and the United States Depart—
ment of Agriculture, and by doing so
give the boys training along these
lines in actual field practice that will
be equal, and in many ways superior,
to any course which might be given in
our schools. By giving the boys this
firsthand experience, under supervis—
ion of an agricultural college graduate,
we think that much will be done to
keep them interested in country life,
so that instead of gradually drifting to
the city, under the delusion that they
will improve their chances of success
in life, they will see the great oppor-
tunities that lie directly before them
and be content to remain in the coun—
try and to improve the farm condi-
tions.

“The Saginaw County hair Associa-
tion is offering about one thousand
dollars in prizes to boys and girls for
club work, and the country banks are
giving the movement their hearty sup
port. The people throughout the coun-
ty are giving the work every encour-
agement and doing all that they can
to help the children in their laudable
efforts. The club work has been car-
ried on for the] last four years and
.Splendid results have been obtained,
and everywhere the people are very
much interested in continuing the
work.

Girls’ Canning Clubs.

“Another feature of the club work
is the girls’ canning clubs, which have
proved very successful. Excellent re-
sults have been obtained in creating a
strong desire in their minds to pre-
serve some of the fresh fruits and veg-
etables from the farm, always so
abundant in summer and often going
to waste, for their own use during the
winter when those things taste so good.
Where this canning Work is carried on
on a larger scale than required for the
family needs, a. ready market is always
found for such good preserves among
friends and acquaintances in the city.

work outlined with creditable results.

“I have been somewhat delayed,”
continued Mr. Strang, “in getting the
summer projects thoroughly organized,
but I feel sure that the club work in
this county has a very bright future.
We expect to make this county the
banner club county of the state, and
expect to put on an exhibit at the Sag-
inaw County Fair in September that

particular notice.”
To Keep the Boys on the Farm.

A consistent effort to keep youths on
the farms, and, perhaps, to bring back
some of those who have drifted away
to the cities in quest of fortune, is be-
ing made along practical lines. The
best plan followed is to give the boys
a financial interest in the farm prop-
erty, either in the form of a lease of
certain acreage, a deed to a good forty,
or an actual share in the yearly profits

from the whole property. Farming is
a serious business and making the boys
partners in the business goes a long
way toward keeping their interest in
the farm work. Too often the young
men are looked upon as serfs and. treats
ed no better than hired hands on the
farm. No wonder they become discon~
tented and restless and long for? the
bright lights and amusements of the
city. The high wages paid unskilled
labor in the factories is a big lure to
the ambitious country boy, even
though living conditions may be far
from his liking, and he stays on, spend-
ing all his earnings as he goes.

The big idea of the county leaders is
to start the boys early in life on the
farm partnership basis. As soon as he
)s old enough to understand the value
of things—the farm crops and stock~—
give him a brood of chickens, a sow or
,two, or a small flock of sheep, and
teach him the proper care of them so
that he will look after his own posses-
sions intelligently. All the profits from
raising stock should, of course, be re-
garded as his very own to do with as
he chooses. By careful and tactful
direction he may be made to see the
advantage of increasing his stock for
greater gain, and thus instill in his
mind sound principles of business.
When he has grown old enough to do
an average man‘s work he should be
given a twenty or forty—acre plat of
good land, to work as best he can, all
the profits from the plat going to him
alone. By this generous treatment, he
feels that he is not a slave to farm
work, but is a part owner in the enter-
prise, as indeed he is.

The county director told me an inci-
dent that recently came to his notice,
that illustrated the obstinate nature of
a farmer unwilling to give his boy a
fair chance. Growing discontented
with his lot under the hard rule of an
austere father, the boy had gone to the

Day after day, week in and week out,
the boy stood beside an automatic ma--
chine drilling holes, an operation re-
quiring little skillbut close attention.
How monotonous and uninteresting
this occupation must have been, hOW»
tiring to a spirit eager to do things,
will never be known to another. Yet
he kept on for months, the only induce-

ment-to. stick being the big wages .

earned. At length he could stand the
grind no longer and went home. He
had little money left after costly liv-
ing in the city, and. he was thus no

better off, or scarcely as well, as when '

he had left the old farm home. His
mother welcomed him with open arms,
as a mother always will and would have
given anything to arouse in him an in--
terest in farm life. The father, how-
ever, peeved at having to hire work
done, the work his son had previously
done as filial duty, would listen to no
plan for a fair division of the farm
profits, or even grant a fair wage to
him. Embittered at this treatment
and despite the entreaties of the moth-
er, the boy returned to the cityiand
again took up the drilling of holes—the
same kind' and size of holes—thou-
sands of them every day, a most dis-
heartening operation to anyone, rather
than submit to the injustice and ty-
ranny of an ungrateful father. How
different would this have been had the
father had a real interest in the boy’s
welfare. A little encouragementmight
have changed the whole course of the
boy’s life, to the end that he might
have become a producer of the neces-
sities of life, instead of a mere helper
in the production of a nonessential
product.

er Michigan cities are no longer em-

facilitate the increase and reduce the
cost of farm production, and act as the
fiscal and financial agent for the gov-
emment.

Commissioners representing the Lib

and bind itself to operate thereunder
and be governed by the provisions of
the bill.

The Rural Credit Society, which is
the twin sister of the Liberty Insur-

secretary of agriculture orders it paid
over to the Rural Credit Society’s
treasury, less the compensation al-
lowed for the risk of accepting such
trust.

Each of the forty-eight branches
shall have a capital stock of $50,000,
which is to be paid by the Liberty In-
surance League. Neither the society
nor its branches or communes will be
allowed to issue demand payable bank
notes or currency, and the society’s
communes shall not receive deposits.

The par value of the stock of the
communes is five dollars, and is non-
transferable while the subscribing
owner is a member of the society.
There are three classes of communes,
the classification being based upon the
state laws governing property exemp-
tions. The credit of each member of
a commune of the first class is limited
to twenty times his paid-up stock; of
the second class ten times his paid—up

class to five times his paid-up stock in
his commune.

Sentiment Varies.

T the recent annual meeting of the

American Agricultural Editors' As-
sociation there was considerable dis—
cussion regarding the merits of the Me-
Fadden bill,’ several editors who had
given it much study saying that they
were favorably impressed with it, but
it was evident that a larger number
were either opposed to the bill or were
not willing to endorse it. Nevertheless
the sentiment was apparently unani—
mous that some kind of personal credit

system is needed in this country.

None of the farmer organizations
having headquarters in Washington
have made'any definite statements re-
garding the bill. Giving his personal
views, however, Charles W. Holman,
of the National Board of Farm Organ-
izations, says: “I cannot see any ben-
efit coming to American agriculture
from any scheme of personal credit
that is not founded on any recognized
principles of cooperation such as are
in successful operation in some of the
foreign countries in~which I have stud-
ied personal credit systems. I am
very much committed to the adapta-
tion of the Raffeisen plan to American
conditions. I think it is entirely pos-

sible for the country to have 'a per-

sonal credit system for financing far-n;-

   

     

   

eral Farm Loan system, including reg~
ional banks and local associations.”

The American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion favors a personal credit law, but
has made no statement in regard to
the McFadden bill, according to C. M.
Kile, of the Federation Washington
headquarters. The insurance company
scheme is one of the objectionable fea-
tures which will not meet the approv-
al of the farmers, Mr. Kile thinks.

~ Professor T. C. Atkeson, V‘Vashing-
ton representative of the National
Grange, has endorsed the principles of
the personal credit bill in these words:
“In order to encourage farm ownership
and production and to make it possible
for farmers to capitalize their health,
efficiency, education, character and in-
dustry, we favor a properly safeguard-
ed system of personal credit.” The
Grange has not endorsed the McFad—
den bill, and Professor Atkeson thinks
it will need much reVision. It will
never pass congress in its present
form.

Mr. Millikan, author of the McFad-
den bill, it is claimed, has devoted
many years to the Subject of personal
credits and the present bill is the re.
sult of his years of investigation and
study. He is in the insurance business
and his bill proposes to invest the govi
emments millions in an insurance
company.

T’S A GREAT MISTAKE for any dairy farmer without a

Great as are the advantages of the New De Laval over all
other separators, as u ell as over any gravity setting system, at every
season of the year, they are even greater during the mid— summer
season than at any other time.

This is because hot weather conditions occasion greatest butter-
fat losses with gravity setting and render it most difficult to maintain

while, moreover, the quantity of milk is usually greatest and any
loss in either quantity or quality of product means more.

the dry weather effects on nearly ma-
ture potato leaves. Under drought con-
ditions, following quickly conditions
which produced a tender succulent fol-
iage, the leaflets blighted in V-shaped
form at the tip and scorched at the
edges.

In many ways this explanation did
not satisfy. If the trouble were sun-
burn, tiien the youngest leaflets should
burn. If it were wind scorch, protect-
ed locations should escape.

Light on‘ the problem was first giv-
en by Dr.‘ E. D. Ball, state entomolo-
gist for Wisconsin. He attributed tip
burn, as it is generally seen in Wis—
consin and Michigan,.to leaf hoppers
and he looked upon the blighting of
leaves as a specific vine disease car-
ried by the leaf hoppers. '

On this matter of leaf diseases no
evidence as yet exists. But there is
excellent evidence supporting Dr.
Ball’s conclusion that the leaf hoppers
are primary agents in inciting the
burning. Dr. Ball had plants caged in
Wisconsin and noticed burning to be
severe in a few days after the hoppers
began to attack the plants. His ex-
periments were not altogether satisfy—
ing because he had some burning in
his check plants.

Mr. E. J. Kotila, at the Chatham Sta—
tion, last year had some potato plants
grown in the field under cheesecloth
cages. They were insect free. Under
some of these cages he introducd a
score or more leaf hoppers. These cage
es blighted badly with typical 'burn
which would pass anywhere for tip
burn. The cages without insects re-
mained green and perfect. These cages
were inspected by several hundred
farmers who visited the Chatham Sta-
tion at the time of the Upper Penin—
sula Experiment Station Field Day.
The plants told their own story.

There remains to be solved the ques-
tion of how leal‘ hoppers burn the
leaves, and as has been. said, one au-
thority believes that the leaf hopper
carries the virus of a specific plant
disease.

OW, tip burn, or hopper burn, as

it is better called, is sure to be
with us this year. At the time this is
written early potatoes are about to
blight as a result of hopper attack.
The question is, will the late crop fol-
low the same course? ‘

For years it has been observed that
sprayed potatoes in both wet and dry
seasons have remained green, while
unsprayed burned and died. It was
thought that in some peculiar way the
Bordeaux spray stimulated the leaves
and kept them green and active.

With the relation of leaf hoppers to
hopper burn before us, we can see that
the action of Bordeaux is simply this:
That in some way the spray coating
acts as a repellent and makes the
leaves unpleasant for the insect enemy.

We must look to the experiments of
the entomologists for light on leaf hop-
per control. The facts of the twenty-
five years’ spraying experience merely
are of applicability in furnishing us a
palliative until the right measures are
discovered. Farmers in fighting early
blight and‘ in protecting against late
blight can feel confident that they are
doing something to ward off the ser-
ious hopper burn.

Potatoes should be sprayed, begin-
ning'when they are about four to six
inches .high, and from then on at ten-
day' intervals ' with hOme—made Bor-
deaux mixture made with four or five
pounds of blue stone and six pounds
of lime in fifty gallons of watér.

THE spray should be applied so as
to cover the under side of the leaf
as well, as thetop. Late blight is read-
ily controlled ’ lay/giving? the plants ‘a".

fair coating, but to get results with
early blight, the covering must. be
thorough. ,

A sprayer with nozzles set to sheet
upward is necessary to get good cov-
ering. A home-made deyice is illustrat-
ed in Experiment Station Bulletin No.
86, or other similar devices can be
bought from almost any concern mak-
ing spray rigs.

A word may be said about the spray-
er. In the past we have felt that any
kind of: a Sprayer would do for the
field and, indeed, it is better than none.
The writer has been in wonderful
fields where the spraying was done
with a knapsack outfit, but the labor
and time is prohibitive. The barrel
sprayer will do if nothing else can be
had, but the mist—like spray which Will
sift under the leaves is difficult to ob-
tain with this outfit.

Best results can be had either with
a horsedrawn traction sprayer, or with
a gasoline—engine-driven sprayer. Such
Sprayers carrying one hundred gallons

of spray and developing one hundred'

and fifty‘to two hundred pounds pres-
sure give remarkable covering of the
plants if nozzles spray upward.

Field spraying is now with us as a.
regular part of growing crops. Ma-
chinery is going through the same evo-
lution that orchard outfits have gone,
and growers may well profit by orchard
experience. Several of the large 111311-
ufacturers of Sprayers are now produc-
ing a spray machine mounted on two
wheels with the load evenly balanced,
in which the engine and the duplex 0r
triplex pump are mounted on the tank.
Such an outfit will spray six rows, with
three nozzles to a. row. It will put on
about one,hundred gallons of spray to
the acre, and the covering obtained is
superb.

This article gives the facts which
show that potato spraying pays with
good fields of potatoes. It tells why it
pays by pointing out the potato dis-
eases combatted by application of
homemade Bordeaux mixture. It puts
the proposition up to the farmer, eith-
er to protect his fields in the best way
now known 01' to take a chance with
weather and disease. Considering the
investment in seed and the farmer’s
responsibility in the matter of food
production, the argument Weighs heav‘
ily on the side of giving the potato ad-
equate protection.

SIMPLIFY INCOME TAX RULES.

 

S a result of the protest made by

the American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration Income Tax Committee against
the present form of making out the
farmers’ income tax returns, the com«
mittee on appeals of the treasury de-
partment has made a decision which
knocks out the objectionable ruling
made by the department officials, so
that it will be possible for a farmer
who has past records to make adjust-
ments back over preceding years the
same as before the present ruling was
promulgated. Another plan, if grant-
ed, and it is aparently in a fair way to
be adopted, will enable large numbers
of farmers to materially increase their
inventory exemptions, when changing
over from cash to inventory basis. This
will make it possible to reduce the pen‘
alty taxes farmers would have to .pay
in changing over to the new system
under the present ruling. The tax offi-
cials of the treasury have also agreed

to give official approval to the farm ac- .

count book which the federation is get-
ting out, making it much easier for
farmers to make their income tax re-
turns. It is understood, however, that

RABBIT WITH LIVER TROUBLE.

_, ,
Would ike to know what ails my
rabbits. went out one morning and
found a young doe dead. She seemed
all right the night before, ate her feed
all up Also had an old doe with
young ones about two weeks old that
seemed ailing. She sat all humped up
and panted all the time. She did not
care to eat or drink. She acted as if
she has spasms at times. Would lik

to know what ails them and what to
do for them. E. M.

The doe that -panted was probably
afflicted with liver cemplaint. Heavy
breathing that can be heard several
feet from the hutch is a symptom of
that trouble. In severe cases there is
no chance for a cure but it can'largely
be prevented by feeding plenty of dam
delions. The dandelion seems to act
as a liver tonic for rabbits and helps to
keep them thrifty. Rabbits with river
trouble may eat well but they have an
unnatural appearance and often breed~
ers inexperienced with the symptoms
might find a rabbit dead before they
realized it was sick.

When rabbits have convulsions there
is no cure but the trouble can largely
be eliminated by careful breeding and
feeding methods. Some breeders give
their rabbits small bits of apple wood
occasionally as a tonic and find that it
helps in keeping down losses. Rabbits
in hutches are living in an unnatural
environment and the best kind of san-
itation is necessary to keep them in
good health. R. G. K.

SICK TU RKEYS.

 

My turkeys have the yellow cholera.
I have tried everything I know and
nothing seems to help them What can
I do for them?

Calhoun 00. M. S.

When turkeys have cholera it is dif-
ficult to control the spread of the dis-
ease as the birds need a large range.
The germs of cholera can live several
weeks and retain their power to cause
the disease in other birds. The germs
are often carried from one farm to an-
other by wild birds, especially sparrows
Which visit poultry yards. The disease
can be eliminated .by isolating sick
birds and giving all feed in dishes
which have been disinfected with a
five per cent solution of carbolic acid.
This keeps them from picking up the
germs on feed gathered from the
ground.

When cholera attacks hens on a lim~
ited range. it is much easier to care
than is the case with turkeys. Tur-
keys with blackhead Will have a. green-
ish yellow diarrhea. This is also a
trouble which is difficult to cure. When
a. turkey flock contains many birds
that aresick and the losses continue
it may be best to stay out of the tur—
key business until the range has had
a. chance to become clean. Then by
starting over with new stock that is
vigorous it is possible to have success.

LOSING RHODE ISLAND REDS.

 

Lately I have lost quite a number of
my Rhode Island Red hens. They get

die. Some of them get so they can’t
walk, their feet seem to crumple up
and they lose the use of their legs. I
have been feeding corn and oats, and
I am putting poultry tonic into their

A ROMANCE or

THE VALLEY OF THE GIANTS

THE REDWOODS

“Perhaps. Nevertheless, if I can
demonstrate to a certain party that it
will cost. more than three quarters of
a million, he’ll loan me the money."

The old man shook his head. “I
don‘t. believe it, Bryce. Who’s the
crazy man 1’”

“His name is Gregory. He’s Scotch.”

"Now 1 know he's crazy. When he
hands you the money, you’ll find he’s
talking real money but thinking of Con-
federate greenbacks. For a sane
Scotclnnan to loan that much money
without collateral security would be
equivalent to exposing his spinal cord
and tickling it with a rat-tail file.”

liryce laughed “Pal,” he declared,
“if you and I have any brains, they
must roll around in our skulls like
buckshot in a tin pan Ilere we've been
sitting for three months, and twiddling
our thumbs, or lying awake nights try-
ing to scheme a way out of our (lilti-
culties, when if We'd had the sense
that (iod gives geese we would have
:rolved the problem long ago and ceas—
ed worrying. Listen, now, with all
your ears. When Bill Henderson want-
ed to build the logging railroad which
he afterward sold to Pennington, and
which Pennington is now using as a
club to beat. our brains out, did he
have the money to build it?”

“No.”

"Where did he get it?”

"I loaned it to him. He only had
about. eight miles of road to build then,
so 1 could afford to accommodate him."

"How did he pay you back."

“Why, he gave me a ten—year con
tract, for hauling our logs at a dollar
and a half a thousand feet, and l mere—
ly credited his account with the amount
ol,’ the freightbills he sent me until
he‘d squared up the loan, principal and
interest."

"Well, ‘if liill Henderson financed
himself on that plan, why didn't we
think of using the same time-honored
plan for financing a road to parallel
,l’enningt on’s ‘3"

John Cardigan sat up with a jerk.
“By thunder!" he murmured. That
Wits Elli close us he (‘\’(‘I‘ came. to “ll??-
ing an oath. "By thunder!" he repeat—
ed. “1 never thought of that! But
then," he added, “I'm not so young as
1 used to be, and there are any number
of ideas which would have occurred to
me twenty years ago but. do not occur
to me now.”

“All right, John Cardigan. I forgive
you Now, then, continue to listen: to
the north of that great block of timber
held by you and Pennington lie the
redwood holdings of the Trinidad Red-
wuod Timber Company.”

“Never heard of them before."

 

“Well, timber away in there in back
beyond has never been well advertis
ed, because it is regarded as practical-

ly inaccessible. By extending his log-
ging-road and adding to his rolling-
stock, Pennington could make it acces-
sible, but he will not. He figures on
buying all that back timber rather
cheap when he gets around to it, for
the reason that the Trinidad Redwood
Timber Company cannot possibly mill
its timber until a railroad connects its
holdings with the outside world. They
can hold it until their corporation fran-
chise expires, and it will not increase
in value to pay taxes."

“I wonder why the blamed fools ever
bought, in there, Bryce.”

“When they bought, it looked like a.
good buy. You will remember that
some ten years ago a company was in—
corporated with the idea of building a
railroad from Grant's Pass, Oregon, on
the line of the Southern Pacific, down
the Oregon and California coast to tap
the redwood belt."

“[ remember. There was a big
whoop and hurrah and then the propo-
sition died abomin'. The engineers
found that the cost of production
through that mountainous country was
prohibitive."

“Well, before the project died, Greg-
ory and his associates believed that it
was going to survive. They decided
to climb in on the ground floor—«had
some advance, inside information that
the road was to be built; so they very
quietly gathered together thirty thou-
sand acres of good stuff and then sat
down to wait for the railroad. And
they are still waiting. lregory, by the
way, is the president of the Trinidad
Redwood Timber Company. He's an
Edinburgh man, and the fly American
promoters got him to put up the price
of the timber and then mortgaged their
interests to him as security for the
advance. l-le foreclosed on their notes
five years ago.”

“And there he is with his useless
timber!” John Cardigan murmured
thoughtfully. "The poor Scotch sucker."

“He isn't poor. The purchase of that
timber didn’t even dent his bank-roll.
He’s what they call in England a tin-
ned—goods manufacturer—purveyor to
His Majesty the King, and all that.
But he would like to sell his timber,
and being Scotch, naturally he desires
to sell it at a profit. In order to create
a market for it, however, he has to
have an outlet to that market. We sup-
ply the outlet—with his help; and

that happens? Why, timber that cost
him fifty and seventy-five cents per
thousand feet stumpage—and the ac-
tual timber will overrun the cruiser’s
estimate every time—will be worth
two dollars and fifty cents—perhaps
more.” ‘

The elder Cardigan turned slowly in
his chair and bent his siglitless gaze
upon his son. “Well, well,” he cried
impatiently.

“He loans as the money to build our
road. We build it—~on through our tim-
ber and into his. The collateral secur-
ity which we put up will be a twenty-
five-years contract to haul his logs to
tidewater on Humboldt Bay, at a base
freight-rate of one dollar and fifty
cents, with an increase of twenty-five
cents per thousand every five years
thereafter, and an option for a renewal
of the contract upon the expiration,
at the rate of freight last paid. We
also grant him perpetual booming-
space for his logs in the slough which
we own and where we now store our
logs until needed at the mill. In addi-
tion we sell him, at a reasonable fit,-
ure, sufficient land fronting on tidewa-
ter to enable him to erect a sawmill.
lay out his yards, and build a dock
out into the deep water.

"Thus Gregory will have that which
he hasn’t; got now—~an outlet to his
market by water; and when the rail-
road at Sequoia builds in from the
southpit will connect with the road
which we have built from Sequoia up
into Township Nine to the north;
hence Gregory will also have an outlet
to his market by rail. He can easily
get a good manager to run his lumber
business until he finds a customer for
it, and in the meantime. we will be
charging his account with our freight-
bills against him and gradually pay off
the loan without pinching ourselves."

“Have you 'talked with Gregory ?"

“Yes. I met him while I was in San
Francisco. Somebody brought him up
to a meeting of the Redwood Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association, and I
pounced on him like an owl on a
mouse."

John Cardigan’s old hand came grop-
ingly forth and rested affectionately
upon his boy's. “What a wonderful
scheme it would have been a year
ago,” he murmured sadly. “You for-
get, my son, that we cannot last in
business long enough to get that road
built, even though Gregory should
agree to finance the building of it. The

interest on our bonded indebtednessis
payable on the first—” ‘
.“We can meet it, sir.”

“Aye, but we can’t meet the fifty
thousand dollars which, under the
terms of our deed of trust, we are re-
quired to pay in on July first of each
year as a sinking fund toward the re-
tirement of our bonds. By super-hu-
man efforts—by sacrificing a dozen car—
goes, raising hob with the market, and
getting ourselves disliked by our
neighbors—we managed to meet half
of it this year and procure an exten—
sion of six months on the balance due.

“That is Pennington’s way.. He
plays with us as a cat does with a
mouse, knowing, like the cat, that
when he is weary of playing, he will
devour us. And now, when we are.
deeper in debt than ever, when the
market is lower and more sluggish
than it has been in fifteen years, to
hope to meet the interest and the next
payment to the sinking fund taxes my
optimism. Bryce, it just can’t be done.
We’d have our r ad about half com-
pleted when we‘d bust up in business;
indeed, the minute Pennington suspect
ed we were paralleling his line. he'd
choke off our wind I tell you it can't
be done."

But Bryce contradicted him earnest-
ly. “It can’t be done,” he said. “Greg-
ory knows nothing of our financial
condition. Our rating in the reports
of the commercial agencies is as good
as it ever was, and a man's never
broke till somebody finds it out.”

“What do you mean ?”

“I mean that if we can start building
our road and have it half completed
before Pennington jumps on us, Greg-
ory will simply have to come to our
aid in self-defense. Once he ties up
with us, he’s committed to the task of
seeing us through. If we fall, he must.
pick us up and carry us, whether he
wants to or not; and I will so arrange
the deal that he will have to. I can
do it, I tell you.”

John Cardigan raised his hand. “No,”
he said firmly, “I will not allow you to
do this. That way~—that is the Pen-
nington method. If we fall, my son,
we pass out like gentlemen, not like
blackguards. We will not take advan-
tage of this man Gregory's faith If he
joins forces with us, we lay our hand
on the table and let him look.’i

“Then he’ll never join hands with us,
partner. We’re done."

“We’re not done, my son. We have
one alternative, and I'm going to take
it. I've got tovfor your sake. More
over, your mother would have wished
it so.”

“Yes, 'I do. l’m going to sell Pen-
nington my Valley of the Giants.
Thank God, that quarter-section” does
not belong to the Cardigan Redwood
Lumber Company. It is my personal
property. and it is not mortgaged. Pen-
nington can never foreclose on it—and
until he gets it, twenty-five hundred
acres of virgin timber on Squaw Creek

:are valuelemwnay, a source of ex-
fpense to him. Bryce, he has to have
it; and he'll pay the price, when he

knows I mean business.”

With a sweeping gesture he waved
aside the arguments that rose to his
son’s lips. Lead me to the tele-
phone," he commanded; and Bryce,
recognizing his sire’s unalterable de—
termination, obeyed.

"Find Pennington’s number in the
telephone book.” John Cardigan com-
manded next.

Bryce found it, and his father pro-
ceeded to get the Colonel on the wire.
“Pennington,” he said hoarsely, “this
is John Cardigan speaking. I’ve decid-
ed to sell you that quarter-section that
blocks your timber on Squaw Creek."

“Indeed," the Colonel purred. “I had
an idea you were going to present it
to the city for a natural park.”

“I've changed my mind. I’ve decided
to sell at your last offer.”

‘ i've changed my mind, too. I've de-
cided not to buy—at my last offer.
Goodnight.”

Slowly John Cardigan hung the re-

ceiver on the hook, turned and grOped
for his son. When he found him,’ the
old man held him for a moment in his
arms. “Lead me upstairs, son,’ he
murmured presently. “I'm tired. I’m
going to bed.”

When Colonel Seth Pennington turn-
ed from the telephone and faced his
niece. Shirley read his triumph in his
face. "Old Cardigan has capitulated
at last,” he cried exultingly. “We’ve
played a waiting game and I've won;
he just telephoned to say he’d accept
my last offer for his Valley of the
Giants, as the sentimental old tool
calls that quarter-section of huge red-
woods that blocks the outlet to Squaw
Creek timber."

“But you’re not going to buy. You
told him so. Uncle Seth."

7“Of course I’m not going to buy it—
at my last offer. It’s worth five thou-
sand dollars in the open market, and
once I offered him fifty thousand for
it. Now I'll give him five.”

“I wonder why he wants to sell,”
Shirley mused. ’ “From what Bryce
Cardigan told me once, his father at
taches a sentimental value to that strip
of woods; his wife is~buried there; it’s
——or rather, it used to bewa sort of
shrine to the old gentleman."

"He’s selling it because he's bank-

exclusive OilPull feature that eliminates all possibility of cooling troubles.

Compare oil-cooling with the ordinary method of water-cooling—

Oil-Cooling V

No boiling—no evaporating in hottest weather—

goes indefinitely without refilling.

No freezing in coldest weather—no need of ever

No deposit of scale or sediment—circulating

system always open.

Oil is a metal preservative—prevents rusting—-
the OilPull radiator lasts as long as the tractor.

The OilPull oil-cooling system automatically
keeps the motor at the right temperature at all
loads—warm for low loads—increasingly cooler
from half load to full load. The harder the .

OilPuIl works, the cooler it runs.

The OilPull oil-cooling system eliminates a cool-

MAN once said this: “If I were
, going past a church, and the
church was on fire, and there

was a. pail of water standing near, I
would kick the pail over.” When the
question was asked a few months ago
whether the church might not be of
help in settling the deadlock between
congress and the President on the
peace treaty, one replied, “Nothing do-
ing, they are too busy quarreling
among themselves.” Another answer-
ed, “They are too much in heaven to
mix in this muddle.” Whatever we
may think of these opinions as to the
future, has the church had a large in
fluence in time past? Are we the bet-
ter, in a large and general way, apart
from personal faith, for her being here.

In 1787, Doctor Manasseh Cutler, a
clergyman, asked that congress pass
an ordinance forbidding slavery in the
northwest territory, and guaranteeing
free education, and religious liberty.
Dr. Cutler no sooner saw the bill alaw
than he went west and caused schools
and education to be sown broadcast in
the territory. Lincoln came from this
section, so did Grant, the Shermans,
Garfield, McKinley. Ohio has been a
state of Christian colleges, and Illinois
provided one-tenth of all the soldiers
in the Union armies in the Civil War.
So much for the influence of a preach-
er on the early history of’some of the
greatest states of the Union.

HE Supreme Court of the United

States has within a month declar-
ed that the national prohibition act is
constitutional. Prohibition thus be-
comes the law of the land, the most
tremendous piece of social reconstruc=
tion of the kind the worldthas ever
seen. But prohibition was not always
so popular. lt began in a humble way,
with a few ministers, who preached on
it, and a few women who organized
societies here and there. This agita-
tion at first was almost exclusively con-
fined to the church. Later it extended
beyond the membership of churches,
and embraced voters of all parties,
Who believed that it was better to be
sober than drunk. The minister is still
living, who organized the anti-saloon
league, the most powerful single force
in securing prohibition legislation. One
night, after a local option fight in a
Michigan county, I had gone to bed.
The “drys” had been successful. About
midnight a group that had absorbed all
they could of the liquor that was being
sold or given away, stopped in front of
the house. The window was open, in
Ithe room where I was in bed. One of

thousand dollars.”

“I think you’re biting off your nose
to spite your face, Uncle Seth. The
Laguna Grande Lumber Company
needs that outlet. In dollars and cents,
what is it worth to the company?”

“If I thought I couldn’t get it from
Cardigan a. few months from now, I’d
go as high as a hundred thousand for
it tonight,“ he answered coolly. ‘

“In that event, I advise you to take‘
it for fifty thousand. It’s terribly hard

the bitterest enemy the liquor trade
had, was the church.

HITMAN’S RIDE” has be‘en‘cei-
ebrated in story and song. It,

was the journey of a missionary, Doc-

tor Whitman, from Oregon to Wash- ’-

ington, D' .C., the winter of 1842313.

Whitman’s purpose was to save to._ the »

United States the vast tract of terrie
tory now known as the state of Oregon.
The British Hudson Bay Company de-
sired it, and had a. company of trap-
pers and explorers there, at the time
Whitman started east. After traveling
over the mountains in storm and snow,
reduced in rations until he had to eat
his dog, at the end of three months
Whitman reached Washington. He
showed the public the value of this

northwest country, and the next year -

headed a company of settlers, west—
bound. Just how much is owing to
this misionary will probably never be
known, but that he and his mission
performed a great service is beyond
doubt.

OLONEL JACQUES, before he en—

tered the Civil War, was a preach-
er. One night he states that he preach-—
ed on the text, “Ye must be born
again.” Abraham Lincoln was pres-
ent.. Monday night Mr. Lincoln came
to the house and said to Mr. Jacques,
“I heard your sermon, and I think it
is according to the Bible. It contains
an experience I have not had, but
ought to have.” Mr. Lincoln then
knelt in the parlor and prayed. He
said he found comfort in believing in
Jesus Christ. What did that have to
do with the spirit ’of Lincoln’s Second
Inaugural?——“With malice toward
none, with charity for all.” One might
go on and tell of other public affairs
that have been largely attributable to
the church’s influence. There are
many more incidents showing. the in-
fluence of the church on men who af—
terward have shaped the policies of
the government. The question that
faces us now, however, is the church,
eSpecially the church in the country,
having this influence? Undoubtedly it
is. One never can tell at the time.
And surely the rural church ought to
be doing the greatest work it has ever
done. Never has there been the oppor-
tunity for teaching the young, and for
accomplishing results that exists now.

The Valley of the Giants

“You do not understand these mat-
ters, Shirley. Don’t try. And don’t
waste your sympathy on that old hum-
bug. He has to dig up fifty thousand
dollars to pay on his bonded indebted-
ness, and he’s finding it a difficult job.
He’s just sparring for time, but he’ll
lose out.”

As if to indicatethat he considered
the matter closed, the Colonel drew his
chair toward the fire, picked up a mag-
azine an’d commenced idly to slit the
pages. Shirley studied the back of his
head for some time, then got out some

fancy WOrk and commenced plying her,

needle. And as she. pliediit, a thought,
nebulous at first, gradually took form
in her head until eventually she mur-

did something nice for me,” she an-
swered. '
“That McTavish girl?" he suggested.
“Poor Moira! Isn’t she sweet, Un-
cle Seth? I'm going to give her that
black suit of mine. I’ve scarcely worn
it at all—”

“I thought so,” he interrupted with
an indulgent yawn. “Well, do what-
ever makes for your happiness, my
dear. That’s all money'is for.”

About two o’clock the following af-
ternoon old Judge Moore, of the Supe-
rior Court of Humboldt County, drifted
into Bryce Cardigan’s office, sat down
uninvited, and lifted his long legs to
the top of an adjacent chair.

“Well, Bryce, my boy," he began, “a
little bird tells me your daddy is con—
sidering the sale of Cardigan’s Red-‘
woods, or the Valley of the Giants, as
your paternal ancestor prefers to refer
to that litle old quartersection out yon-
der on the edge of town. How about
it, eh?”

Bryce stared at him a moment ques-
tioningly. “Yes, Judge," he replied,
“we’ll sell, if we get our price.”

“Well," his visitor drawled, “I have
a client who might be persuaded. I'm
here to talk turkey. What’s your
price?”

“Before we talk price,” Bryce par-
ried, “I want you to answer a ques-
tion.”

“Let her fly,” said Judge Moore.

“Are you, directly or indirectly, act-
ing for Colonel Pennington ?"

“That’s none of your business, young
man——at least, it would be none of your
business if I were, directly or indirect-
ly, acting for that unconvicted thief.
To the best of my information and be—
lief, Colonel Pennington doesn’t figure
in this deal in any way, shape, or man-
ner; and as you know, I’ve been your
daddy's friend for thirty years."

Still Bryce was not convinced, not—
withstanding the i‘act that he would
have staked-his honor on the Judge’s
veracity. Nobody knew better than he
in What devious ways the Colonel work-
ed, his wonders to perform.

Grandpa Sloan says so many folks
are feeling sorry for the farmers that
.it is becoming popular to quit the aw-
ful business. That’s because folks like
to be in style. He believes in basing
his calculations on ten-year averages
and thinking where his pay check is
coming from five years from now as
well as now. Grandpa Sloan believes
in cooperation and is going to get right
behind the Farm Bureau and sign up
quick. He thinks that is better thani
selling the farm and nine-tenths of the'
furniture so that the rest can be squeez—
ed into a cozy city flat with a shoe
horn.

Simon Peck has a good record for
automobile driving. He has been at it
twelve years without an accident. So
last week when he hit Martha Jones’s
adopted boy, folks knew it couldn’t
have been Simon’s fault. It .sure pays
to have a good reputation when you
are out of luck. That’s what Simon
says. If he had been a careless driver
some folks would have sworn he was
going sixty miles an hour when he hit
that kid.

Grandpa Cooley has a grandson in
the city who has just made the Mu Ki
Yi fraternity. He says that if some
folks weren’t so proud when their kids
were “took in” to the fraternity that
the kids wouldn’t get so proud for “be
ing took.” But little Leon CoOley is a
nice boy and folks like him. Here is
hoping that he makes as good a man
as his grandfather in spite of the Mu
Ki Yi. -

E read with mingled feelings

that Michigan is to have a_

bumper crop of cherries. Not
that we don’t all like cherries, but of
how much value are they to us with-
out sugar, or with plenty of sugar at
thirty cents the pound? What will
they be like if we can them without
sugar, and then next winter find our-
selves as sugarless as now?
. Of course, we can put up fruit with-
out sugar, or we can sweeten with
corn syrup. There seems to be plenty
of that, and at the present writing it

has not advanced in price in west.
Michigan. Ten-pound pails may still
be bought for ninety cents. That is

the dark syrup, the light is a few cents
more. But syrup is not so satisfactory
as sugar; A cup of syrup has not the
sweetening power that a cup of sugar
has, and then it is a liquid and greatly
increases the bulk in your fruit. In
making preserves and jams you
must cook it a great deal longer to get
it down to the desired thickness. And
then your jam hasn’t its old-time flavor
nor color.

if you decide to can without sugar,
trusting to sweeten each can as you‘
open it, try the methods given by the
Department of Agriculture through its
experiment station at Pullman, Wash-
ington. These have been worked out
by the department and found success-
ful. Both the cold pack and the open
kettle methods are given.

Select only firm, not over-ripe fruit,
absolutely free from signs of decay.
Test all jars, by partly filling with wa—
ter and inverting. Then place every-
thing to be used in canning—jars,
tops, rubber, spoons funnels, every
utensil you may use—~in cold water
deep enough to entirely cover every-
thing, and boil twenty minutes. Be

If You Can Without Sugar

and immediately screw the tops down
tight. Wipe dry and place on shelf,
inverting can to see that there are no
leaks.

If you prefer the open kettle method,
sterilize utensils as before for cold
pack. Place the fruit in a porcelain-
lined, or granite preserving kettle with
enough cold water to just cover, and
cook for time given. Then pack quick-
ly in sterilized jars, fill to overflowing,
adjust rubbers and/tops, invert jars,
and store. Do not wipe top of jar
with cloth before sealing.

Rhubarb, gooseberries and cranber-
ries may be canned with cold water.
Wash the fruit, washing the rhubarb
before cutting. Pack in freshly wash-
ed jars, put in a pail and fill with clean,
cold water until the water comes five

or six inches above the top of jar.
Seal under water. If you have running
water as good results are obtained by
putting the filled jar under the tap, let-
ting the water run five minutes, and
then sealing. - .

When these fruits are opened pour
the water from the jar into a kettle,
cook down one-half, add fruit, cook
till soft and sweeten to taste.

Drying the fruit will eliminate the
present need of sugar. Farmer-s’ Bul—
letin No. 841 gives complete directions
for drying fruits and vegetables, illus—
trations of dryers and directions for
making home-made ones. It also has
recipes for cooking the dried prod-
ucts. This may be obtained by writ-
ing to the Department of Agriculture

sure to have all new rubbers. Most
important of all, do not wipe off the
neck of the jar before sealing, with a
cloth, as this may introduce bacteria.

For the cold pack method. Fill your
boiler, or canner, about half full of
warm—not hot—water. Put in a jar
from the boiling water, fill with cold,
raw fruit, packing down tight, add
enough cold water to fill the jar one-
half inch from the top, using knife or
spoon to displace air-bubbles. Flt on
rubber and set tOp loosely in place.
When all cans are filled, fill boiler with
enough cold water to come within one
and one-half inches of the tbps of the
jars, fit cover on closely, put boiler~on
stove and heat to boiling.

For red and black raspberries, black-
berries and loganberries, boil vigor-
ously for eight to twelve minutes. For
cherries, currants, goosebe‘rriesr- and'
similar acid fruit, boil five to eight min— ‘
utes. For apples, peaches and pears,
boil for twenty to thirty-five minutes.

dren in New York, so her discoveries
were of great interest. ‘

“Fifteen years ago we didn’t give
children vegetables until they were
three years old,”~she said. “Now we
start at three months if they are arti~
ficially fed and show the need of it.
We used to think the baby must have
orange juice as an anti-scorbutic, but
experiments on London babies during
the war' showed that raw turnip juice
did just as well. American workers
found that tomato juice, either canned
or raw, is equally good.

“The science'of nutrition has made
rapid strides in the last ten years.
With the discovery of vitamines, many
of our old ideas changed. ' We have
learned very closely the, energy re-
quirements of children and the value
of establishing health and habits of
health in the first years. Most Of the

claim they can fix the rate at which
animals grow old by altering the diet:
Yet in spite of this, insurance statis-
tics show that great numbers of people
are as old at thirty-five and forty years
as they should be fifteen or twenty
years later. This is especially true
in rural districts. Hardening of the
arteries and kidney trouble now ap-
pear at forty years, where it used to
be at sixty.

“Modern research shows that much
of the trouble is due to a lack of one
mineral, and of these minerals the
most common shortage is calcium. A
pint of milk a day will take care of the
calcium requirements of a child.
quart will give it sufficient proteins.
But as proteins'may be supplied in
other forms, where the price of milk-
makes the quart impossible, a pint will
be enough, as it supplies the calcium.
Milk contains three times as much pro—
tein as cereals and six times as much
as peas and beans. This is why the
addition of milk to a cereal makes a
Well-balanced breakfast food.” '

Mrs. Rose jarred several old ideas
regarding feeding. Ice cream, which
we have believed a safe and sane food
for children, she blacklisted~ as too
sweet and too rich in fats to be fed
very frequently. Even sherbets she
classed as too sweet. Bananas, which
have been taboo, she admitted to good
fellowship—if properly ripened. This .
means you should buy green bananas
on the stem and let them hang with
the skin unbroken, until they are speck-
led. Peanut butter, which many’ moth~
ers forbid, she classes as a fine spread
for bread if you know how it is made.
To be sure, buy the raw peanuts and
put them through the food grinder.
This may be used without butter, pro—
viding the child gets its butter-fat in
whole milk or cream.

For the growing boy who "can’t be
filled with a regular meal Mrs. Rose
advised rice pudding made with milk
and dotted with ‘raisins. . Any cereal
pudding is good. She got in strong ‘with"

FROM ONE HOUSEKEEPER TO
ANOTHER.

After having much trouble with oil-

cloth cracking, I discovered a method
to prevent this which adds fifty per
cent to the life of the oil cloth. 1
cover the table smoothly with paper
that has been well oiled with common
machine oil. I then place the oil cloth.
on top of the paper and stretch tight-
ly. The oiled paper keeps the under
side of the cloth moist and prevents
cracking, and also acts as a sort of
pad.———Mrs. G. A. G.
‘ As fast as a tumbler of jelly is op-
ened I wash off the paraffin that. cov-
ers it and put it in an old tin coffee
pot. When I want to use some, it
takes but a moment to set the coffee
pot on the stove, melt the paraffin and
pour it out. In this way I have no
extra dish to clean and all the bits are
thus saved and utilized over and over.

Last year a friend never had trouble
with her canned fruit or string beans.
She used the usual method of canning,
sterilized and sealed the cans as usual,
then while the can was hot she took
a strip of adhesive plaster one-half-

cover and half on the rubber, pressing
firmly, which made the can perfectly
tight.—-Mrs. E. V. S.

My Trip to the State Fair—By Hazel Marie 73/7720:

AM a member of ’the Sunshine
Sewing Club of the Wadsworth
School, (Saginaw county). One day

as I was sitting under our great oak
tree making an apron for myself, our
mail carrier told me that he had a let-
ter for me. After opening it I found
that another girl and I had been chos-
en to give a demonstration at the State
Fair in Detroit.

We gave our demonstration in the
Model School Building on Labor Day.
My opinion is that the school really
deserves its name because it has so
many conveniences. .

On that day four other teams be-
sides ours gave a demonstration. We
demonstrated once in the forenoon and
once in the afternoon: The other
teams demonstrated canning, hot lunch
and handicraft. We drafted the bun-
galow apron pattern because it is a
simple pattern, and also because it can
be-~used for the making of several oth-
er garments.

the drafting of a pattern when one can
be bought so reasonably at any store?”
That is true, but we know from experi-
ence that all patterns will need alter-
ation. But how are we to understand
the alteration of a pattern if we do not
know the first thing about the con—
struction of a. pattern? Then, too, it
saves money which might be used in.
a better way.

From the bungalow apron pattern
many different garments can be made,
such as, kimonas, dresses, and night
gowns. In drafting the apron pattern
we first measure the length taken from
the highest part of the chest to the
bottom of skirt plus three inches for
the hem and one inch for shrinking.
We then measure from the center of
the chest to the elbow for the desired
length of the sleeve. ‘Then we draw a.
slanting line from the underarm to the
bottom. Next we round off the bottom
to prevent the apron from sagging.

A kimona requires more fullness at
the bottom than the apron, so we sim-
ply add. the desired width by adding
the material which has been cut out
from the underarm to the bottom and
there by setting in an ‘extra gore.

The kimona is opened alTZth'o way

down the front so. we finish the raw
edges off with a neat seam and tie it
with a silk cord.

When making a dress we follow the
same directions as for the apron, with
this one exception, and that is, we lay
a box plait in the goods over each
shoulder before pinning the pattern to
the material. '

Nightgowns simply require a length-
ening of the lines. It may be made
wider by drawing a slanting line from
the underarm to the bottom. The neck
of the gown may be finished off with
a crocheted yoke.

Our last year’s club consisted of
thirty-six girls, and all completed the
work with the exception of four. We
made middies, skirts and one-piece un-
derwear. We also made French ref—
ugee garments. In our club of 1917
we made three garments and besides
this we made several Belgium baby
outfits. We also knitted blocks for a
blanket and made hospital bags and
“housewives.” We kept a record of the

cost of materials used, and of. the time
spent, in a notebook. '

A garment-making club does many
things ‘for a girl. It makes her inde-
pendent in one way, because she can
always make her own clothing and in
that way save the money which she
would have to pay the dressmaker. It
also gives her experience in bookkeep-
ing when keeping a record of the cost
of material and the time she uses
when making her garments.

Garment making has done all this
for me, and as I intend to take it up
all through my school years, I am cer-
tain it will do still more for me.

Imam very anxious for the time to
come when every boy and- girl shall
be interested in some sort of club
work, and I sincerely hope that each
one shall get as much out 'of it as I
have. If anyone wishes to learn more
about club Work or wishes to take it

' up, for further information they should

write to the Junior Extension Depart-
ment of the Michigan Agricultural Cel-
lege. . .

, Our team again demonstrated in the
afternoon. After this we walked about
the; grounds «and went into some of the

 

being repre, sated 3m _ swung;

terested me most was the agricultural
building because it displayed so many
fine products of our state. I just could
not help but think that we are living
in a very fine state.

I believe every county was repre—
sented. Being Labor Day'there were
thousands of people at the fair. We
went into many more buildings in
which we saw very many things. To—
wards evening, feeling tired, we went
to the city and took the train back to

/ Saginaw.

The Michigan State Fair Association
paid our fare. For this my team
mates and I wish to thank them be-
cause we learned and saw so much on
this trip. I feel that this trip alone has
rewarded me for all the work that I _
have put into my club work.

To Judge Cattle

Boy: and Girls ”/ill Compete fir

Prize: at National Dairy Show
HE boys and girls who are se-
l lected to compete October 8 in
the National Junior Judging-Con-
test for dairy cattle, at the National
Dairy Show, Chicago, will come back
with something worth while. The Na-
tional Dairy Association, under whose
auspices this contest is held, plans to
make this the largest and most instruc-
tive junior judging contest ever held.
It is expected that thirty teams, from
as many states, will be at the judging
arena when the contest begins, accord-
ing to representatives of the Dairy
Division; Bureau of Animal Industry,
and the Boys’ and Girls’ Club section
of the States Relations Service, United
States Department of Agriculture, who
are cooperating with the National
Dairy Association in putting on the
contest.

Thirty-nine gold, 'silver and bronze
medals and a gold. watch, offered by
the National Dairy Association, will be
awarded to the winners; and in addi- ~
tion to this, the first fifteen teams en-
tered will be housed and fed in Chi-
cago, at the expense of the National
Dairy Association. Some of the dairy
cattle breeders’ associations also have
signified an intention of awarding priz~
es to those doing the best work in judg-
ing the cattle of their respective breeds.

All Club Members Elglble.

Only one team can be entered in the
contest from any one state. Any boy
or girl between the ages of twelve and
eighteen, who is a bonarfide member
of a club project, and who has not had
more than six weeks’ training in any
agricultural college or short course at
such an institution, is eligible for a.
team. Eligibility, however, must be
certified by the director of extension“
of the state land-grant college.

Plan Many Extra Features.
Besides the excellent training in
judging dairy cattle which will be ob-
tained at a contest of this kind, the
team members will enjoy a number of
other advantages. Some of the lead-

.ing breeders of dairy cattle will talk

to the boys and girls and give them
the benefit’of their experiences in dairy
cattle breeding. Tours of the city of—
Chicago are also planned for the judg-
ing teams, and ,the contestants will
have an opportunity of seeing the plac-
es of interest and meeting the promi-

nent people of the city and state.

“this, initial attempt prompted the plans

for a larger contest this year. Prac-
tically all the states in the middle west
have agreed to send teams to the con-
test, and some of the eastern and west-
ern states have signified their inten-
tion of competing.

What the Contest Can Accomplish.

The benefit from such an event is
bound to be far—reaching. Thousands

' of boys and girls who competed in the

local contests, then in the county con-
tests, and finally in the state contest
for state team membership, have ob-
tained a fine training in cattle judging.
.Competition always arouses interest in
a subject, and these contests have
proven very effective as a means of
teaching dairy cattle judging, and in
developing a wholesome point of con-
tact between boys and girls and the
cow—that efficient producer of human
food. There is a very urgent demand
for good cattle judges in America.

Entries for teams that are to com-
pete in this contest must be sent in
by August 1, to W. E. Skinner, Gen-
eral Manager, National Dairy Show,
Suite 222, 910 South Michigan Avenue,
Chicago, and the names of the individ-
uals who will compose the teams must
be sent in by September 27. Details
as to the classes of animals to be judg-
ed, the manner of judging, etc., will be
announced later.

organizations, meanwhile, will be
strengthened and the project of farm-

the general sentiment that ample
funds will be subscribed to build and

districts to handle all the beets grown

.The Farm Leaders of Saginaw County.
‘ Arthur G. Bovay.——“I was raised in
Mecosta county,” said Mr. Bovay in an
interview, “on a farm near Big Rapids,
where I stayed until I entered the
Michigan Agricultural College, in 1908.
For three years I taught rural schools,
and was able to get first-hand informa-
tion concerning the condition of schools
in the country. I graduated from the
Michigan Agricultural College, receiv-
ing a Bachelor of Science degree, in
1912. Five years were then spent in
Minnesota, in supervising agricultural
work in high schools, and also doing
extensive work as county agent.

“In the fall of 1917 I secured a posi—
tion with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Bureau of Mar-
kets, where I had charge of investigat-
ing and general marketing work. I
resigned this position to accept the
position I now hold of Farm Bureau
Manager and County Agent for Sagi-

‘naw county.”

Thomas C. Price, president of the
Saginaw County Farm Bureau, was
born in Saginaw county in 1873, and
has been a resident of the county prac-
tically all his life. He was educated
in the .public schools of Saginaw, West
Side, and was a member of the 1900
law class at the University of Michi-
gan. Traveling extensively in Europe,
he attended the Paris Exposition in 1900
and visited Switzerland, Germany, Hol-
land, Norway, and the British Isles. In
1909 he made a trip to South America
to study market conditions in the
southern hemisphere, and gain the
broad knowledge that comes from trav-
el in foreign lands.

Mr. Price is also president of the
Sugar Beet Growers’ Association which
has conducted a vigorous campaign this
spring for better prices for beets
grown, and is secetary of the Produce
Growers’ Exchange. He is a member
of ‘the executive committee of the
Farm Bureau, and interested in kraut
manufacture in this county. The Price
farm is situated in Albee township a

Four Thousand Five Hun-

dred Quarts of Milk
per Year

The big- yield cow is the only cow

that will ever make dairying profitable

in the United States. The dairy farm-
ers of Holland have blazed the way to
a successful national dairy industry with
their Holstein- Friesian cows that aver-
age between 9,000 and 10,000 lbs. of
milk per year.

Imagine our cows averaging 4, 500
quaits! Our farmers would then be
able to make the finest, best and cheap-
est milk on earth, just as the Hollanders
do now, and prosperity would abound.
for every quart would mean profit.

gress in agriculture, and is a. man
whom it is a real pleasure to meet and
converse with.

Christian Gugel, vice- -president of the
Saginaw County Farm Bureau, is a‘
resident of Frankenmuth township
where he has lived all his life, having
been born on the farm, about two miles
west of the village, which he now cul-
tivates. On this beautiful rolling land
on both sides of Cass river, comprising
one hundred and thirty-five acres, Mr.
Gugel grows general farm crops (ex-
cepting beets), beans, oats, wheatand
corn being the principal products this
year.

Mr. Gugel has held several county
offices, which indicate the confidence
the people place in him; and he is
widely known through the county as a
‘thoroughly reliable and faithful citi
zen. He is a firm believer in the move-
ment of farmers doing more of farm
business for themselves, and is a big
booster With progressive ideas.

Fred Cornair, who is secretary- -treas-
urer of the Saginaw Farm Bureau, is
one of the progressive young famers
of the county. 'He is the owner‘ of
“Lone Elm,” a fine stock farm in Ches-
aning township, noted for its Aberdeen
Angus cattle and registered Jerseys, as
iwell as a producer of pedigreed seeds.
' Mr. Cornair was president of the Farm
Bureau for the last two years, and is
a. director in the Michigan Crop 1m-
provement association. He also holds
membership in several other state or-
ganizations.

When interviewed Mr. Cornair said:
“We specialize in growing registered
pedigreed seeds, and in the live stock
line we have registered Aberdeen An-
gus for beef and a register of merit
cow for a foundation herd of purebred
Jerseys. Yes, we grow alfalfa.
get the best northern grown seed. Our
farm is practically all tile drained, and
we practice a. three-year rotation, us-
ing clover and alfalfa. Lime and plenty
of acid phosphate is used.”

George Bennett was elected a mem~
ber of the executive committee of the
Farm Bureau for a. term of two years,
and lives in Brady township, directly
west of Chesaning. He has been ac~
tively interested in the welfare of his
community for a good many years, and
is a member of the Grange in which he
has held offices. He has also filled a.
number of township oflices. ”Mr. Ben-
nett is the owner of a good farm and
is a thoroughly practical farmer and
business manager.

William B. Hill is a resident of Blum-
field township, living with his family
on the farm upon which he was born,
being the southwest quarter of section
twenty-six. His father. took the land
when a wilderness of forest in 1855,
and it has ever remained in the fam~
ily. Mr. Hill is generally regarded as
a capable, conservative farmer among
his associates, and highly respected by
all as one of the real pioneers of this
county. He grows a variety of farm
crops principally oats, corn, barley and
wheat, with a small acreage of beans.
He has hitherto giown sugar beets, but
this year has made an exception, leav-
ing beets to some of his neighbors
south of his farm, toward Franken-

of farmers who had never before
grown beets, were this year growing
them. 1
The Hill family consists of Mrs. Hill
and seven children. The eldest son is
married and lives on a. forty-acre farm
adjoining, which his father presented
to 'him several years ago. The eldest
daughter is also married. The. other
children, ranging in years down to sev-

en, are all active’ helpers on the farm.

Pica—Can you tell me why my cows
are inclined to chew bones? A. R.,
Oxford, Micli.~ACatt1e suffering from a
depraved appetite have perhaps been,
deprived Of the kind Of food they re—‘
quired, may not have had sufficient?
exercise and fresh air. Cattle pastured!
on low, swampy land become prediw‘
posed to this ailment. In treating suchl
cases the aim should be to improve di—
gestion. supply the animal with the
kind of food needed; besides it should
be Of good quality. Mix together car-
bonate of iron, four ounces; bone flour,
one pound; powdered gentian, four
ounces; salt, half pound; fenugreek,
one—quarter Of a pound. Give to each
cow 3. tablespoonful. and two or three
tablespoonfuls Of powdered .wood char—
coal in feed twice a day. Grass is the
best summer feed for them.

Chronic Painful Lameness—I have
a horse that has been lame in hind
legs for the past three months. He
was first. affected with scratches. I
cured him; some time later he went
lame, the same leg, and since then he‘
has held foot Off floor and ground, act-
ing as if in great pain. Have had him
treated by two different veterinarians.
neither Of them have seemingly helped
him, but both prescribed blistering Of
leg. J. T., Caledonia, Mich—Leave
him alone until you can locate lame—
ness. Rest is perhaps the proper rem-
edy for him.

Slight Bowel Hemorrhage.~We-have
a two-year-Old heifer due to come
fresh next fall, that passes some blood
with her dung and has been doing so
for file past four or five days. She is
not sick, eats and drinks good and is
quite playful when out in the yard.
We are feeding her silage twice a day,
cornstalks once, and hay once. She is
in good flesh. A. N- D., Montague,
Mich.———Her bowels should be kept Op-
en, if so she will soon get well With-
out giving her drugs. Feed her some
grass.

Cow Gives Bloody Milk—I have a
young cow that calves on the four-
teenth of May. Everything seemed to
be all right. Now she is giving bloody
milk. I would like to know the cause
and remedy. J. H S., Henfe Lake,
Mich—Lack of bedding, rough milk-
ing, stepping over logs or fence rails,
bruising udder, are all common causes
of cows giving bloody milk. Remove

NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.

 

Butter.—The market has been fluctu-
ating during the past week and has
been unsatisfactory from the point of
View of the receiver. There is some
decline in domestic consumption be-
cause of the summer season, but out-
of—town purchasing has been active.
Receipts are beginning to show a
slight decline but it is fully expected
that production will continue at a high
point for several weeks because all
conditions are favorable. There is
considerable anxiety in the market at
present because of the expected arrival
of large quantities of Danish and Hol-
land butter during the coming week.
It is reported that 40,000 casks of
Danish butter, aggregating approxi-
mately 5 million pounds, and 912,000
casks, aggregating more than 1 1-4
million pounds, of Holland butter are
en voyage to this port at the present
time. It remains to be seen what the
effect of the arrival of so much butter
will have on the market. The market
was weak on Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Since that time it has strength-
ened and is fairly active at present.
Quotations are: Extras, 57%fm58c;
higher scoring than extras, 581402590;

firsts, 53@571/2c; and, seconds, 4761)
52c.
Cheese—The market for State

cheese has held uniform throughout
the week. However, there has been a
decline in price of western varieties.
While holdings in western storages
are increasing rapidly, those in this
market are very moderate. There is
practically no movement in skims ex-
cept for those of very high quality.
Quotations are: Fair to good, 24%@
251/20; average run, 26@27c; and, spe-
cials, 271/z@281/2c; skims, prime to

BURNED—OUT bearings, scored

cylinders, worn piston rings,
fouled spark plugs, worn cam
shaft, loose wrist pins and pitted
valves are responsible for 85 per-
cent of all engine repair jobs.
Each is due to faulty lubrication.

You probably spent months in
deciding what car, truck or trac—
tor to buy, but have you devoted
an hour’s thouglt to preserving
its value by proper lubrication.

In 44 years in the oil business
we have learned some essential
facts which will save you many a
dollar if you know them. They
are certainly worth sending a

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE.

ELL-INFORMED men on such

matters regard the outlook for
fat cattle as extremely encouraging,
their vieylr being that prices are going
to gradually work higher. On the oth-
er hand. the chances are that common,
medium and grassy cattle will work
lower as supplies of grass cattle in-
crease in numbers. At the present
time good corn-fed yearlings and fat
little yc'ai'lings are selling at high fig-
ures, even if the extreme prices quot-
ed a few weeks ago are not being paid.
Steers weighing from 1,000 to 1,300
pounds are selling to good advantage
as well as heavier steers, and not. long
since sales took place at $17 to $17.25
per hundred pounds, with later tops
around $16.75, that: price being paid
for three cai'loads of prime 1,720-pound
cattle. On the same day a Main load
of California steers which averaged
1,175 pounds sold on the Chicago mar-
ket for $12.15. The weather cuts an
important figure in the beef trade, and
during the recent hot spell it fell off
so much that cattle were much de-
pressed in prices, the offerings for a
week mounting up to 63,600 head and
forcing a big break in prices. That
would have been a big supply [or a
winter week, when the consumption of
beef is far greater than in the mid—
summer period. The best demand is
for light weight cattle that are fat,
with the packers buying fleshy feeders
with a “kill." Texas cattle have been
running freely, and the season is close
at hand [or large supplies of native
grassers.

CHICAGO LAMB TRAFFIC.

INCE the season opened for mar-
keting Idaho range lambs there has

been an enormous decline in prices.
the first snipnient having brought
$18.50 per hundred pounds. A short

time ago sales of Idaho lambs embrac—
ed six hundred head which averaged
sixty-two pounds at $12.75 and 1,300
Which averaged around sixty-seven
pounds at $14.;5, with sales a few days
later up to $15.50, while ldaho wethei‘s
brought $8 and range yeai‘lings $9.50.
Following the custom of years, the
term “spring” was dropped on July 1
in referring to lambs dropped this year.
Flocks previously described as aged
lambs are now designated as yearlings.
Unfortunately, the marketing of lambs
is apt to be extremely irregular, sup—
plies at times greatly exceeding the
market requirements, and during u re
cent week the Chicago supplies mount—
ed up to 93,550 head, precipitating a de-
cline of from $3 to $5 per hundred
pounds in fat flocks, while aged sheep
were off about $2. On the low day the
best lambs sold for $13 to $13.50, with
culls down to $6. It was the worst

break in the history of i'he Chicago
Stock Yards. Some rare bargains in
feeder lambs and yeai'lings have been

picked up by country buyers, and good
yearling breeding ewes have also sold
at bargain figures. Lamb prices are
much below those paid in recent years,
the brst having sold at $17.60 one year
ago, $10.25 two years ago and $16.50
three years ago; but the best brought
only $11.10 four years ago and $10 five
years ago,

HIGHWAY QUESTIONS

1. Can the highway commissioner
or township compel me—or anyone—
to cut the brush and weeds on the
right—of—way of a public road along my
farm?

2. Has the highway commissioner
any right to roll or throw stones on
my land and leave them there in grad-
ing the road along my farm?

3. The farm adjoining mine has a
bunch of brush or second growth about
forty rods long, averaging forty feet in
height. Can I recover damages on
crops from shade?—J. M.‘
