CURRENT COMMENT





VERY farmer will



watch with in-

terest the trend of

the future grain mar-

ket, now that trading

in futures has been

resumed on a limited scale. An early

development was a sensational drop

in September wheat last week. The

present spread between the market

for spot grain and future deliveries is

so wide that the coveted opportunity

for millers to “hedge” on their pur-

chases is of little value to them. On

this account a prominent Michigan

miller was recently heard to express

the opinion that an open market

would not help millers much this year.





Whether this wide spread is due to

a lack of nerve, long out of training,

on the part of gamblers in grain, or

whether it is due to a disparity of

judgment between legitimate users

and speculators in the product is an

interesting study. But there are a

great many well informed farmers

and some grain merchants who be-

lieve the selling for future delivery of

several times as much grain as is pro-

duced has a depressing effect on the

cash grain market which overbalances

any degree of the claimed advantage

of market stabilization which may be

realized.





The moral side of the proposition is

also worthy of consideration. It is

interesting to note that this phase of

the {proposition was brought out in

the testimony taken by the Federal

Trade Commission in its investigation

of grain marketing, by a member of

the St. Louis Board of Trade who

gave as his reason for not favoring

private or crossed wires to small

towns, the bad moral effect which

might follow. it is difficult for the

uninitiated to understand this special

solicitude for the morals of grain

growers, as against grain speculators

in other occupations. It is true, how-

eve, that grain gambling is poor busi-

ness for the “tenderfoot,” no matter

what his occupation, as thousands of

people in all walks of life have learn-

ed to their‘sorrow.





From the standpoint of the produc-

er we believe all markets should be

maintained as nearly on a strict mer-

chandising basis as possible. A long

step toward this desirable end is be-

ing taken by the general development

of cooperative marketing, which is

being worked out through the Farm

Bureau movement. Market stabiliza-

tion on a merchandising basis is an

attractive ‘goal, toward which the

Same forces are working, a conference

question of controlling and preventing

.the spread of bee diseases, and that is

the immense annual loss to fruit

growers and those producing other

crops, such as cloversee'd and buck-

wheat. Just how great these losses

may be no person can accurately esti-





\

the future grain market.

vey of the bee-

ing Michigan counties

indicates the need of

County Beekeepers’ Associa-





LOSses Due

To Bee

Diseases





more





-tions as a means of assisting the bee-





keepers of the county to control and

prevent the spread of foul broods.

When there is a spirit of unity and

good feeling the beekeepers are very

anxious to co-operate with the County

Farm Bureau office to eradicate the

disease, and in this way those who

are not observing the law in regard to

closing up old hives in which the bees

have died during the winter, or at any

other time, in such manner that other

bees shall not find it possible to enter

or leave such hives, or obtain honey

therefrom, may be reported to the

proper authorities.



When there is such an organization

of beekeepers who are ready and will-

ing to assist in controlling and pre

venting the spread of diseases it is

easily possible for the Farm Bureau

to take action and guard against infec4

tion from apiaries where foul brood is

prevalent. Section 9 of the Michigan

law relative to Bee inspection says:

“It shall be the duty of any one keep-

ing bees in the State of Michigan, to

deeply bury combs and frames taken

from diseased colonies, in places

where they shall remain undisturbed,

unless they be placed in tight recep~

tacles so constructed that it shall be

impossible for bees to gain access to

combs, or for honey or any other

liquid to leak out where bees can gain

access to it. Anyone knowingly ex-

posing comb, honey, frames, quilts,

empty hives, covers or other appli—

ances contaminated by infected mate-

rial from the same, from diseased col-

onies, shall on conviction thereof, be

punished by a fine of not less thain

twenty-five dollars, nor more than fifty

dollars; Provided, That the wax may

be rendered in such places or at such

time that no bees will be able to gain

access to the comb before it is thor-

oughly heated, or at any time to the

liquids expressed in the process of

rendering.”



Besides the annual losses to bee-

HE House Ways and Means Com-



mittee, of which Representative

Joseph 'W. Fordney, of Michigan,

is Chairman, is devoting considerable

attention during the vacation season,

to the consideration of various phases

of tariff revision, which, it is hoped,

will be of benefit to agriculture, and

give greater stability to the farming

industry.



The bill to put a duty on potato

flour as a means of ' promoting the

production of potato flour in this coun-

try, developed an interesting discus—

sion last winter, but it did not get

out of committee. It will be included

in the general tariff revision when

Congress meets in the fall.



The manufacture of potato flour is

a comparatively new industry in the

United States. It is a. development

of the war period. In 1918 there were

five natural flour plants in operation,

and these plants produced 2,500,000

pounds of potato hour, which is large-

ly consumed by bakers. and at that

mate, but prominent authorities agree

that they are heavy enough so that

every farmer in the state has a vital

interest in keeping the bees of the

state free tram diseases. And it is

the duty of the County Agent to assist

beekepers in controlling diseases in

their apiaries as much as it is in as-

sisting hog growers in controlling con-

tagious and infectious diseases in

their herds of swine. But he is at a

decided disadvantage without a bee-

keepers’ organization to assist him in

locating the Sources of infection.





HE farm labor

, situation is a

source of serious ap-

Labor prehension to the

Philosophy farmers of Michigan

and-the country who

have felt the handicap of an insuffi-

cient labor supply more seriously this

year than théy did during the war.

While the inconvenience resulting

from this condition is a serious handi-

cap, the condition should not be view-

ed as an unmixed evil.



The greater the proportion of con-

sumers to producers, the greater will

be the demand for the products of

the farm, and the higher Will be the

labor income of the farm family, and

this increased revenue from the prod—

ucts of the farm will prove a potent

influence in keeping the country

young people on the farm.



A study of the statistics compiled

by the U. S. Bureau of Labor is of

interest by way of explaining the

cause of the farm labor shortage.

These figures show an average in-

crease in the number of men em-

ployed in eight important industries

of approximately twenty per cent, and

an exorbitantly increased pay roll for

men in these industries. For exam-

ple, the number of men employed in

the men’s clothing industry increased

54.4 per cent during the past year,

while the payrolls increased 145.7

per cent. In the automobile industry

the number of men employed increas-

ed 17.8 per cent and the pay rolls 43.6

per cent. These illustrations are typ-

ical and explain the shortage of farm

labor. But the pendulum must swing

back, and to the advantage of the

farming business, bring either easier

labor conditions or still higher prices

for food stuffs.

In Washington





this country five more potato flour

plants with a yearly capacity of 5,000,-

000 pounds. These plants are located

in the potato—growing sections of

Idaho, Nebraska, Michigan and Ohio.

They utilize to a considerable extent

those tubers that are not available for

market.



The method of producing potato

flour is simple. The potatoes are

washed, cooked, ground, dried and

bolted, the bolting process taking out

the skins. The entire food content

remains in the flour.



That the bill was not reported out

and acted upon is due to the fact that

others matters of more timely import~

ance engaged the attention of the

committee.



The bill to give protection to the

RICE movements on foodstuffs



markets of the United States in



recent weeks have not been fa—

vorable to the views of those who

have anticipated a broad summer re-

A slight read-

justment has developed in some com-

modities, though in the small and al-

most unimportant manner. All vari-

eties of hay have receded in price,

owing to the augmented supply from

the harvest of early new crops and

the use of pastures on a large scale

in the West, Southwest and Middle

West states. But the rather surpris-

ing fact in connection with the read-





justment of alfalfa, tame and wild hay





is the comparatively narrow down-

turns. The losses reveal a more bull-

ish condition in the trade than one

might surmise from the trend of val-

There is a slight bearish tinge to

Other foodstuffs, including ,millfeeds,

the high protein feeds, and some

coarse grains, but markets are not

acting in a manner which offers hope

for material downturns.



A slight downturn in prices for corn

and other feed grains has placed the

feedstuffs trade as a whole in a more

bearish light than a close study of

market conditions would indicate.

Bran-and shorts have eased off in

price, though hardly to the extent an-

ticipated a month or two months ago.

The high protein feeds continue to

lack substantial buying strength, but





' values have fluctuated irregularly, in





a very narrow range. Mixed feeds

have declined somewhat, and there is

reason to believe that a further down-

ward trend is probable on commercial

mixtures, particularly those including

alfalfa meal. A continued declining

market would be the logical course

for this season of the year, demand

being at a low ebb owing to use of

pastures and the increasing supply of

feed resulting from new crop har-

vests. However, the technical factors

surrounding demand and supply con—

ditions are of a bullish character, and

an upturn in prices would therefore

not be surprising.



Bran and shorts are in a strong po-

sition. While a sharp advance in

prices does not appear probable for

the immediate. future, material de-

clines are certainly not expected. Flour

mills of the United States are operat-

ing at far below. actual capacity, the

current volume of new sales aggregat-

ing hardly more than 15 to 20 per cent

of the grinding strength of the mills.

Demand for flour is extremely light,

and winter wheat millers have not

thus far been successful in booking

orders for new crop flour. There is

the outlook therefore of a very light

production of flour for some weeks,

probably until the close of July in the

winter wheat belt. Over the country

as a Whole, particularly in the spring

wheat territory of the Northwest, as

well as in the East and Central States,

mill production will probably not reach

a capacity basis until well into Au-

gust. Millfeed supplies available for

consumptive channels will not in—

crease for some time yet, and because

of the extremely light stocks in hands

of feeds, jobbers and other operators,

the offal market is not in an encour-

aging position from a bearish view-

point. , '



Indicating the absence of bearishness

regarding the market for all July ship-

ment, millers and dealers have been

selling bran for thirty to forty-five day





delivery at practically a parity with





the spot market, this having been par»





 





'to lay in a supply at that time.

spring wheat center, $51 to $52 in St.

Louis, and around $52 to $53 in Mil-

waukee. The market is off $2 to $3 a

ton. compared with a month ago,

though at one time during the month

values were .off as much as $5 a ton.

Expectations of a further falling off

in production stimulated demand for

available Offerings. Millers are refus-

ing to book bran for thirty-day ship-

ment at a discount greater than 50

cents a ton. For late August and

September shipment, the discount is

greater, amounting to as much as $3 a

ton under the spot market. September

bran can be purchased at this writing

around $46.50 to $47.50 a ton on lead—

ing Western milling markets. Con-

suming interests in the East are bid-

ding mills of the West around $45 a

ton, basis Minneapolis, for bran for

shipment at any time until the close

of 1920, and sales as high as $42 a ton

have been made on a Kansas City

basis. Those who are bidding for bran

on such a basis, and it is significant to

note that the bids are far more nu-

merous than the offers, do not appar-

ently look for any radical recessions

in prices for the offal feed for the

next six months, even in the face of

the present extraordinary level of

values. ,



Hog producers will probably .be able

to purchase their wheat shorts at

a price showing a smaller discount

under bran than has prevailed the past

few months. This, however, does not

necessarily mean a lower price for the

shorts. Demand for the heavier offal

usually narrows about his season of

the year, while a. late summer demand

for bran forces the price, up to a near

parity with shorts. Gray shorts may

be bought around $58 to $60 a ton in

Minneapolis, a decline of $4 to $6 a

ton within the past month. Kansas

City quotes gray shorts or flour mid-

dlings at $56 to $57, about $61 a ton

in St. Louis, and $60 to $61 in Chi~

cago. The difference between gray

shorts and bran may work down to

about $4 to $5 a ton, but it will begin

to widen from this basis.



The use of pastures has effected a

reduction in the consumptive demand

for bran, though the dairy districts of

the East, including Michigan, have

been rather persistent buyers. Were

the country assured of a large corn

crop, as conditions now indicate, and

were pastures to remain excellent the

remainder of the summer and early

fall, with abundant outturns of other

feed crops, the bullish influences sur—

rounding the market for bran and

shorts would have a lessened effect

on prices. Bran will not rise sharply

in price, if at all, and feeders should

purchase in a volume not greater than

their needs until the middle of August.

Late August, or probably September,

is expected to ,witnessthe low point

of prices for a considerable period,

and preparations should now be made

The

future, of course, is very uncertain,

and there are numerous underlying

influences which could force a radical

movement in either direction. Con-

tinued stringency of cars must not be

overlooked. As in all other feeds, tight





money may bring depression. Just

new money market prospects are

bearish.



The readjustment of prices for al-

falfa hay will not carry the legume to

the low point recorded about this time

a year ago. Rather disappointing pro-

duction on the first and second cut-

tings of alfalfa, the acute shortage of

bale ties for preparing the hayfor

market 'shipment, the scarcity of labor,

and lack of cars—the most important

factor—have aided prices in holding

up comparatively well. The best

grades of new crop alfalfa are selling

around $30 to $32 a ton in Kansas

City, the leading hay terminal, which

compares with sales of old crop choice

hay at $38 a ton early in June. No. 2

alfalfa of the new crop is selling

around $19 to $25 a ton, and the

cheapest grades down to $14 a ton.

The movement of alfalfa 'to market,

though considerably greater than a

year ago, is not sufficient to meet re—





quirements of buyers in the East,

Southeast, Central and Northern

states. Demand is unusually active





for this season, buyers having entered

the new crop season with very light

stocks on hand.





Timothy, clover mixed and clover

are rapidly becoming readjusted to a

new crop basis, and prairie, too, has

receded in price. Choice timothy of-

ferings are bringing around $40 to $43

a ton in Chicago, compared with a

recent high figure of $50. Kansas City

prices have receded to around $32 a

ton, about $6 a ton down. Prices have

not yet reached their low point on

tame hay, the readjustment, in fact,

having only begun. A further decline

of about $5 to $7 a ton is confidently

expected within another month. Clo—

ver hay, which in recent months has

been in extremely light supply, also is

easing in price, the appearance of new

crop offerings in the Southwest, par—

ticularly from districts in Missouri,

causing pressure. New clover hay is

selling at an extreme range of $15 to

$21 a. ton in Kansas City, with St.

Louis at a freight differential‘ Clover

production is expected to be heavy in

the East and Central states this year,

and this will have a depressing influ-

ence on alfalfa markets. All hay prices

will move irregularly for at least an—

other month, declining prices probably

predominating. Late July or early

August may be an excellent time for

accumulating requirements of hay for

a few months ahead.



Alfalfa meal already has receded

about $8 a ton from its high point, the

flurry which developed in May, when

offerings became extremely scar-0e,

having disappeared. The fact that

mixers are paying sharply lower

prices for their alfalfa meal should be

reflected in the quotations for com-

mercial mixed feeds. As soon as

Western alfalfa mills begin grinding

freely, and this is probable within

another month, meal prices will recede

further in price. Colorado alfalfa meal

is selling around $42 a ton for No. 1





in St. Louis and $39 to $40 in Kansas





City.

There is a firm tone in the market

for cottonseed cake and meal, while





 





 





 





 





 





being well maintained at the highest





 





the other high protein concentrate,

linseed food, has lagged in price. No

outstanding demand from feeders is

apparent for either commodity. Fer.-

tilizer manufacturers and mixers of

commercial feeds have bought on a.

moderate scale and continue to dis-

play interest in the market, while

feeders are buying very sparingly. The‘

recent sharp upturn in choice fat

beeves has aided the trade in high

protein foods, some buyers who had

refrained from feeding the cake and

meal, owing to heaVy losses suffered

on their operations, having bought

moderate quantities. But improvement

in cattle markets has not been suffi~

cient to revive any broad interest in

the trade. Cottonseed cake and meal

of 43 per cent protein content is sell-

ing around $64 a ton, basis Oklahoma

points, or about $70 a ton delivered in

the Middle West. Linseed cake and

meal is available around $63 to $64 a.

ton for spot or all July shipment,

basis Minneapolis, which shows a de-

cline of $1 to $3 a ton. Car shortage

continues a serious restricting influ-

ence. Stocks of both cottonseed and

linseed cake and meal are rather lib-

eral at manufacturing points, and no

material upturns in prices are not in

prospect for the immediate or near

future.



Sentiment on corn is sharply mixed.

The “bulls” are ever present, and

there has been a slight increase in

the ranks of the “bears” as a result

of a bulge in the movement from the

interior. Increased shipments from

the country have not been of a broad

character; in fact, the enlarged arriv-

als on markets have not been up to

the percentage of gains usually noted

about this period of the year, during

the period immediately following com-

pletion of seeding and preceding the

harvests. Marketings would doubtless ,

be of a far greater volume, shortage

of cars interfering with country load-

ings. Stocks of corn at terminals of

the United States are the smallest on

record for this season of the year, and

with prospects for a reduction in ar-

rivals as soon as cars are diverted to

the wheat belt, little hope prevails for

an enlargement of visible corn hold-

ings. Demand for corn usually broad-

ens in July and the late summer pe-

riod, so it is quite hazardous to assume

any strong bearish convictions as to





'the price movements for the coarse





grain. Higher prices are more prob-

able than declines.



At this writing carlot offerings of

corn have receded to around $1.75 to

$1.85 a bushel in Chicago, and $1.72 to

$1.90 in St. Louis. The September de-

livery is quoted around $1.70 a buShel,

and the December at $1.55 Many ob-

servers of market conditions are con-

fident of a $2 market for September

corn, as well as for carlots before that

month is reached. Growing crop con-

ditions will have much to do with the.

trend of prices, and until the plant .

has passed the critical stage of

growth, nervous and uncertain price

movements may be expected. Until

the car situation improves from its

present demoralized state, a radically

bearish market for corn seems im-

probable.



Irrespective of the action of corn,

oats are in a very strong position, and

a bullish tone may be counted upon

until the close of July at least. The ’

old crop stocks of cats have been ex-

hausted in many sections, and the

country is entering the new crop year,

or soon will enter, with the smallest

holdings in many years. Not enough

oats are moving marketward to meet

the demand, consequently prices are

He has been breeding black and white

cattle for 17 years, and his herd is

rich in the most popular blood lines

of the breed. At present he has 30

head of cows and heifers headed by a.

son of that famous Holstein sire, King

of the Pontiacs. His junior herd sire

is a son of King Peter, who has a fine

list of daughters, and whose dam is a

33 pound cow, that has a 33 pound full

sister and a 30 pound daughter. His

dam is from a splendid 30 pound cow,

and herself a holder of a very cred—

ible record recently completed. This

young bull is a choice individual and

should produce some exceptionally

good calves when mated with the

granddaughters of King of the Pon-

tiacs. Mr. Rogers is active in farm

bureau work and is a capable, level-

headed leader in all agricultural activ—

ities. ‘



Wm. N. Kettle, of Willis, member

of the Executive Board, is an example

of a city man who has made good on

a farm. He is president of the Farm-

ers’ Club of his community and active

in all organization work calculated to

improve the busines and social phases

of farming. He owns and operates a

splendid fruit and truck farm and is

making a financial success of the busi-

ness. Mr. Kettle holds the respect of

the farmers in his community and can

be depended upon to do his part in

making the County Farm Bureau a

live organization.

youngest member of the Executive

Board, practices general farming on his

120 acre farm. Mr. Gibbs is a grad-

to aid Mr. Stewart in making this

phase of farm bureau activities of

great value to the boys and girls of

the county.



Ernest L. Bird, of Wayne, a mem-

ber of the Executive Board, is presi-

dent of his local Farm Bureau Asso—

ciation. He is a capable leader and

has for many years been aggressive

in all movements seeking to build up

the social and business phases of rural

life. On his 60 acre farm he grows

truck crops as a specialty and con-

ducts a general system of crop grow-

ing and farming, with poultry as a

leader. Mr. Bird is popular among the

farmers of his community and his

sound judgment on business affairs.

meetings, so fifteen were held. Pub-

licity for. the campaign was in .the





form (If new‘spaper items written by





Miss Rogers and sent to all county

papers. The. first itemswere published

two weeks before the campaign start-

ed and others were printed while it

was on. All of the women’s clubs,

church societies and lodges over the

county were sent letters asking their

cooperation in notifying members of

the meetings in their localities. An

explanation of Work and the results of

the survey, together with bulletins,

were sent to doctors. In addition to

these public announcements, letters

were sent to all the mothers in the

county whOSe addresses could be ob-

tained. Posters were also used and

window exhibits in several places

showing the comparative food values

in milk and other kinds of food were

used. People going along the street

had an oportunity to study these ex-

hibits and they caused considerable

comment. V





The plan for each of the fifteen

meetings was very similar. The main

talk was given by Miss Coral Havens.

She brought out clearly the need of

milk in the diet of children. Miss I.

C. Johansen, County School Nurse,

gave a lecture on the condition of

rural school children and her work in

the county. She told stories of under-

nourished children who had become

normal when they followed directions

in drinking more milk. Miss Rogers

explained the object and plan of the

milk campaign, told of the results ob-

tained from the survey, and intro-

duced the speakers. Bad roads and

car trouble increased the difficulties of

the campaign. To further complicate

the oflice work the farm bureau drive

for membership came at the same

time, so that the office work was

hampered and the County Agent and

Club Leader could. not give the assist-

shoe that they had planned. In spite

of all the difficulties the campaign

proved successful and a more exten-

sive one will be undertaken the com-

ing year.





Poultry culling work has been given

considerable attention and three wom-

en’s poultry clubs, with a. total mem-

Miss Annebel Campbell, specialist in

poultry work at the M. A. C., has the

choose colors in dresses and hats that

harmonized well, and were becoming

to the wearer. As one woman ex-

pressed it, “Clethes cost so much now-

adays that I want'to be sure that I

won't make a mistake when I go to

the city to buy my clothes.” The

same things apply to slender and stout

persons dressing to overcome these

appearances. That the women have

been applying the lessons learned in

these demostrations has been shown

by the care with which they are be

ginning to take in choosing the colors

of their hats and dresses since they

learned what a decided difference a

slight variation in colors and style

made. They have actually tried on





the colors at the meetings, so they

know.

Two demonstrations have been





made in Dearborn on textiles. A his-

tory of the various fibers is explained

and simple tests shown that will tell

adulterations. While not much work,

has been done along this line in

Wayne county, owing to the difficulty





of securing competent demonstrators,-





results Show that women are interest-

ed in gaining information that will

enable them to choose clothes that

are becoming in color and design, and

that will wear well. Requests have

also been made for similar demon-





strations in the choice of household,





furnishings.



Another side of the clothing work

in Wayne county has been carried on

at Plymouth. A group of women have

been meeting at the home of Mrs.

Louis Hillmer to make over cast-off

garments into usable children’s

clothes. Some of the work has been

little short of marvelous. According

to the request of some of the women

in the country for classes in cooking,

three food study groups have been or—

ganized. The first class started at a;

meeting held at the home of Mrs. S.

W. Spicer in Canton township. After

talking over the things they wanted

to take up, the twenty women pres-

ent decided on a series of demonstra-

tions on the methods of cooking and

the food values of various foods. Two

other classes have since been organ-

ized, one in Plymouth and one near

Belleville. Demonstrations on cooking

vegetables, cereals, eggs, meat and

other foods are being glven at inter-

vals of two weeks. The gain in at-

tendance at the meetings is evidence

that the demonstrations are meeting

a real need. Canning work has also

been given attention and the women

of the county have been purchasing

canning equipment at wholesale prices

through the Farm Bureau. Forty-nine

cookers, to’ be used both in cooking

have been purchased,

ABOUT THE DETROIT} PACKING

‘ COMPANY





Will you please advise me if the

Detroit Packing Company is a farm-

ers’ of'ganization. Is it affiliated with

the State Farm Bureau or the Mich—

igan Live Stock Exchange? What are

the objects of this new company and

how is it to be financed?



Washtenaw Co. ’ F. D. H.



In reply' to F. D. H. and several

other farmers who have written us

for information regarding the Detroit

Packing Company and its relations

with the Michigan State Farm Bureau

and other farmers’ organizations, we

publish letters from both L. Whitney

Watkins of the Detroit Packing Com-

pand, and E. E. Compson of the

Michigan Live Stock Exchange as

follows:





July 12, 1920.



For the benefit of the live stock men.

and farmers- of Michigan, I wish to

state that the Detroit Packing Co. 'is

not connected in any way with the

Michigan State Farm Bureau nor with

the Michigan Live Stock Exchange. I

say this because reports have come

to me of some misunderstanding along

this line. It should be understood that

the organization is intended to occupy

an entirely separate field as a stock

company engaged in the packing of

meats and poultry and the manufac—

ture of all ,by-products. Especially in-.

vited and desired to participate as

stockholders in the company are the

stock men and farmers of the state

because of the opportunity afforded to

participate in. any profits as packers

and also because it is desired to inter-

est them in establishing a real Detroit

market for Michigan live stock and di-

verting the shipments now going out-

side the state to the Michigan market.

In order to hold these shipments and

hold the confidence of these stock men

the company must give them a square

deal and expect to stimulate and de-

velop the live stock industry of Mich-

igan and put it upon a profitable basis.

I understand the organization will

work in entire harmony with‘all farm-

ers and farm organization and will do

all in its power to accomplish that end.

It is expected to have the control not

only of the capital stock of the com«

pany but of the board of directors in

the hands of practical live stock men.



L. WHITNEY WATKINS,

Special Live Stock Advisor,

Detroit Packing Co.





July 12, 1920.



In view of various reports over the

state that the Michigan Live Stock

Exchange was not in favor of the De-

troit Packing Company, stock of which

is being offered to the farmers and

live stock producers of Michigan, as

manager of the Michigan Live Stock

Exchange, I want to make clear that

there is nothing for me to say either

for or against it, as it is purely a.

stock company proposition, and up to

the farmers to use their own judgment

in buying it, regardless of what I

might say.



Reports have come to me that some

of the leading farmers and business

men of Michigan are investing in this

company and that it will stand inves-

tigation, so look it up and decide for

yourselves whether it is worth while.



E. E. COMPSON, Manager

Michigan Live Stock Exchange.





Don’t stop feeding your chickens

because they are on range. Feed them

all they will eat hungrily, and let

them. have the grasshoppers and oth-

er bugs as extras. Of course 'they

could live altogether'on the range, but

j” sulky plow-





 





 





Because it is built of new-process

John Deere steel, the No. 40





weighs less than the

average horse-drawn

eulky plow;





pulls extremely light-

a real fuel saver;





stands the strains under

all conditions — its

beams are guaranteed

not tobend or break.





Due to the self-adjusting hitch—

an exclusive John Deere feature

— bottoms run true and level at

all depths — they neither “nose

in” nor “hop out” of the ground.





Its John Deere bottoms insure

good work.





 





 





 





YOU have been hearing

for some time, no

doubt, that John Deere was

building a new plow espe-

cially for. the Fordson

tractor.





Perhaps you are one of the

many farmers who asked

that John Deere build such

a plow.





Perhaps you are one of the

many who have gone to

John Deere dealers with

the query: “When can I

see that John Deere plow

built especially for the

Fordson?” '





John Deere specialists took

their time in building the

plow. They had the John

Deere reputation to con-

sider, first of all. They knew

that farmers expect espe-

cially good performance

from a John Deere plow.

Their task was to give the

user the benefit of such per-

formance behindhis Fordson

tractor—to fit a John Deere-

quality plow to the Fordson

as carefully as a good tailor

fits a suit of clothes to a

customer.





The plow is now ready. It

has been branded with the

famous John Deere trade-

mark of quality. It is called

the John Deere No. 40.





Here Are Features

That You have been

Wanting

Imagine a two-bottom trac-





tor plow that' 1s lighter than

the average horse- drawn





 

 





" re AN





-a tractor plow that pulls

so light that it soon pays for

itself 1n lower fuel consump-

tion, greater acreage per

day, minimum wear on the

tractor— in all the factors

that mean lower plowing

cost per acre—





—a tractor plow that has

this desirable light weight

and light draft plus tre~

mendous strength-beams

that are guaranteed not to

bend or break; frame con-

struction that stands all of

the strain of utilizing the

tractor’s power under all

conditions.





 





The No. 40 fits the Fordson. The

No. 45 1e built for use with ANY

“two-plow" tractor.

Those are important fea-

tures of the No. 40 that you



are sure to appreciate.





Beams, braces and axles

are made of a new process,

John Deere steel that com-





bines the desired lightness





with the necessary strength.





It’s the Plow with the

Self-adjusting Hitch

The No. 40 has a self-

adjusting hitch—an import-

ant advantage in plowing



with the Fordson.





When you adjust the plow

fer depth with the depth





‘ lever, the hitch point auto-





 





matically regulates itself to

the Correct line of draft.

That means that the bottoms

run true and level at all

depths, doin g uniformly

good work all the time.





It means that there is no

undue Wear on shares be-

cause of bottoms “sledding”

or “running on their nose”;

no worry or loss of tin‘ie over

hitch adjustments.





The self—adjusting hitch is

exclusively a John Deere

feature. Any plow for use

with the Fordson needs it,

but—no other plow has it.





John Deere Bottoms

do Good Work;

Wear Well





The No. 40 is equipped

with genuine John Deere

bottoms—the bottoms that

scour, wear well and make

good seed beds.





These bottoms include both

steel and chilled types in a

variety of shapes to meet

different requirements.



The shares are quick de-

tachable—loosen one nut to

remove a share: tighten the

same nut and the share is

on tight.





The power lift of the No. 40

is simple, strong and positive.

It works perfectly. The

lifting parts move only when

the plow is being raised or

lowered—practically no

wear.





This is the Plow the

F ordson Needs





If you are planning to buy

a Fordson tractor, it will

New John Deere Plow?

lt’ s Built Especially

‘ Eur thelordsonlractor





 





pay you to investigate the

No.40.





The tractor will give you

pulling power. It will be

up to the plow you buy to

apply that power. Re-

member that, no matter

how well a tractor may do

its part, the plowing outfit

is no better than its plow-

just as no knife is better

than its blade. You need

the best plow you can get.





The No. 40 may be on dis-

play in your town now. If

it isn’t it soon will be. Get

acquainted with it thor-

oughly before you buy your

tractor. '





The best place to judge the

No. 40 is in the field.

Watch it at work and see

for yourself how wonder-

fully light it pulls; how

simple and strong the hot-

riveted frame constructionis;

how the self-adjusting hitch

keeps the bottoms running

true and level at all times,

and how the bottoms scour,

pulverize and turn the soil

in that John Deere way—

the way the practical farmer

wants it done.





Another Plow for





ANY “Two-Plow”

Tractor





If you are planning to buy



“two plow” tractor other

than the Fordson you will

be interested in the John

Deere No. 45. This plow

is exactly like the No.40

except that it has a flexible

bitch and rear furrow wheel.

It has the fuel-saving light

draft, the strain-resisting

strength, and the seed bed-

making qualities of the

No. 40. It is adaptable for

use with any standard two-

plow tractor.

describing these lighter, stronger

plows for “two-plow” tractors.

day. Ask for booklets F —126.

Y OU CAN sell four horses now, before



the low fall prices are reached and do

the work with an Indiana Tractor. You will

not have to spend several hundred dollars to

feed them over the winter. You will save at least

an hour’s work in the barn every day. The price

of the horses and the cost of keeping themayear

will more than pay for an Indiana Tractor.





You work for your horses almost as much as

they work for you. You have work all the year

around for one team but extra horses work for

you only 90 to 100 days in the crop season.

Yet you. spend at least a month a year taking

care of them—not counting the time you put

in growing the crops they eat.





One man and an Indiana easily do the work

of four horses and two men. The cost of fuel

and oil is very much less than the cost of horse

feed. The Indiana does every kind of work

that horses‘do. The Indiana plows with disc or

mold board, cultivates all row crops with one

or two-row cultivator, pulls barrows, discs,

planters, mowers, grain and corn binders,

rollers, drills, cultipackers, potato diggers, and

all orchard and vineyard tools.





It uses the horse-drawn implements you al-

ready have. The driver rides the implement as

he does with horses and has the work in front

of him. That’s why one man and an Indiana

winter. 5011 them now and let the INDIAN/4

do their work.





can replace two teams anda man on the aver~ '

age farm. The Indiana is the all-round single '1

unit one-man tractor. i





O. W. Ellis, Polk County, Iowa, says: “The

tractor will surely do all you claim' for it. I

plowed 17 acres for wheat with a 12 in. disc

gang plow and drilled it in and never used a

horse in the field. I also plowed 30 acres of ‘

corn and cut 120 acres of small grain with an

eight foot binder. The tractor has not given

any trouble.” .





J. W. Van Pelt, Clark County, Ind., says:

“In plowing I broke a sod field which had not

been plowed for 25 years and was full of blind

stumps. The tractor did the work fine. I

have used the tractor successfully with the '

binder and mower. In fact I have not hitched

it to anything without success. It has done

all and more than you claim for it." -





For four years the Indiana Tractor has been

making similar records for owners everywhere:

they are enthusiastic about it and many have

not a horse on their farms. For almost 20 years

the makers of this tractor have been known

for- dependable products and square dealing.

They have a reputation for claiming for their

products less rather than more than they will

do. Ask any of the 75,000 owners of the

Indiana Silo.

. Brings the Greatest Profit





. The farmers of America are appre-

ciating more fully each day the in-

creased profits that come from

power farming. The army of F ord-

son Owners now numbers 100,000

and is continually growing in size.





 





Fordson farming is profitable be-

cause it is practical—because the

implements are designed for the

work which they must do. Whether

it is plowing with an Oliver mould-

board or disc plow, discing the stub-

ble and the plowed field with the

Roderick Lean Automatic Disc

Harrow, or seeding with the Amsco

Drill—these specially built tools serve

best the needs of Fordson farmers.

THE VALLEv‘pF





«3‘: 11?"





A ROMANCE or





THE





THE REDWOODS





By Peter B. Kym:





 





 

 





   





 





H" Hall





 





“Well,” he said, “your query is rath-

er sudden, Judge, but still I can name

you a price. 1 will state frankly, how-

ever, that I believe it to be over your

head. We have several times refused

to sell to Colonel Pennington for a

hundred thousand dollars.”



“Naturally that little dab of timber

is worth more to Pennington than to

anybody else. However, my client has

given me instructions to go as high as

a hundred thousand if necessary to get

the property.”



“What!”



“I said it. One hundred thousand

dollars of the present standard weight

and fineness.”



Judge Moore’s last statement swept

away Bryce’s suspicions. He required

now no further evidence that, regard-

less of the identity of the Judge’s cli-

ent, that client could not possibly be

Colonel Seth Pennington or anyone act-

ing for him, since only the night be-

fore Pennington had curtly refused to

buy the property for fifty thousand dol-





lars. For a moment Bryce stared stup-

idly at his visitor. Then he recovered

his wits.





“Sold!” he almost shouted, and after

the fashion of the west extended his

hand to clinch the bargain. The Judge

shook it solemnly. “The Lord loveth

a quick trader,” he declared, and reach-

ed into the capacious breast pocket of

his Prince Albert coat. “Here’s the

deed already made out in favor of my-

self as trustee.” He winked knowingly.



“Client’s a bit modest, I take it,”

Bryce suggested.



“011, very. Of course I’m only haz-

arding a guess, but that guess is that

my clinet can afford the gamble and is

figuring on giving Pennington a pain

where he never knew it to ache him

before. In plain English, I believe the

Colonel is in for a razooing at the

hands of somebody with a small grouch

against him.”



“May the Lord strengthen that some-

body’s arm,” Bryce breathed'fervent-

ly. “If your client can afford to hold

out long enough, he’ll be able to buy

Pennington’s Squaw Creek timber at a

bargain.”



"My understanding is that such is

the program."



Bryce reached for the deed, then

reached for his hat. “If you’ll be good

enough to wait here, Judge Moore, I’ll

run up to the house and get my father

to sign this deed. The Valley of the

Giants is his personal property, you

know. He didn’t include it in his as-

sets when incorporating the Cardigan

Redwood Lumber Company.”



A quarter of an hour later he re-

turned with the deed duly signed and

,witnessed by Bryce; whereupon the

{Judge carelessly tossed his certified

check for a hundred thousand dollars

on Bryce’s desk and departed whist-

ling “Turkey in the Straw.” -Bryce

reached for the telephone and called

up Colonel Pennington.



“Bryce Cardigan speaking,”

gan, but the Colonel cut him short.



“My dear, impulsive young friend,”

he interrupted in oleaginous tones,

“how often do you have to be told that

I am not quite ready to buy that quar-

ter-section ?”



“0h,” Bryce retorted, “I merely call-

ed up to tell you that every dollar and

every asset you have in the world, in-

cluding your heart’s blood, isn’t suffi-

cient to buy the Valley of the Giants

from us now.” '



“Eh? What’s that? Why?”



“Because, my dear, overcautious, and

thoroughly unprincipled enemy, it was

sold five minutes ago for the tidy sum

of one hundred thousand dollars, and

if you don’t believe me, come over to

my office and I’ll let you feast your

eyes on the certified check.”



He could hear a distinct gasp. After

an interval of five seconds, however,

the Colonel recovered his poise. “I

congratulate you,” he purred. ‘fI sup-

pose l’ll have to wait a little longer

now, won’t I? Well~—patience is my

middle name. Au revoir.”





The Colonel hung up. His hard face

was ashen with rage, and he stared at

a calendar on the wall with his cold,

pliidian stare. However, he was not

without a generous stock of optimism.

“Somebody has learned I of the low

state of

mused, “and taken advantage of it to

induce the old man to sell at last. They

are figuring on selling to me at a neat

profit. And I certainly did overplay

my hand last night. However, there’s

nothing to do now except sit tight and

wait for the new owner’s next move.”



Meanwhile 1n the general office of

the Cardigan Redwood Lumber Com-

Bryce Cardi~

gan was doing a buck and wing dance

around the room, while Moira McTav-

ish, with her back to her tall desk,

watched him, in her eyes a tremendous

joy and a sweet, yearning glow of ad-

oration that Bryce was too happy and

excited to notice.



Suddenly he paused before her.

“Moira, you’re a lucky girl,” he declar-

ed. “I thought this morning you were

going back to a kitchen in a logging-

camp. It almost broke my heart to

think of fate’s .swindling you like that.”

He put his arm around her and gave

her a brotherly hug. “It’s autumn in

She smiled, though it was winter in

CHAPTER XX.





OT the least of the traits which

formed Shirley Sumner’s charac-



ter was pride. Proud people



quite usually are fiercely independent

and meticulously honest—and Shirley’s

pride was monumental. Hers was the

pride of lineage, of womanhood, of an

assured station in life, combined with

that other pride which is rather diffi-

cult of definition without verbosity and

is perhaps better expressed in the terse

and illuminating phrase “a dead-game

sport.” Unlike her precious relative,

unlike the majority of her sex,. Shirley

had a wonderfully balanced sense of

the eternal fitness of things; her code

of honor resembled that of a very gal-

lant gentleman. She could love well

and hate well. ‘

A careful analysis of Shirley’s feel-

ings toward Bryce Cardigan immedi-

ately following the incident in Penning-

ton’s woods. had showed her that un-

der more propitious circumstances she

might have fallen in love with that

tempestous young man in sheerrecog—

nition of the many lovable and manly

qualities she had discerned in him. As

an offset to the credit side of Bryce’s

account with her, however, there ap-

peared certain debits in the considera-

tion of which Shirley always lost her

temper and was immediately quite cer-

tain she loathed the unfortunate man.

He had been an honored and (for

aught Shirley knew to the contrary)

welcome guest in the Pennington home

one night, and the following day had

assaulted his host, committed great

bodily injuries upon the latter’s em-

ployes for little or no reason save the

satisfaction of an abominable temper,





made threats of further violence, de?





clared his unfaltering enmity to her

nearest and best-loved relative, and in

the next breath had had the insolence

to prate of his respect and admiration

for her. Indeed, in cogitating on this

latter incongruity, Shirley recalled that

the extraordinary fellow had been forc-

ed rather abruptly to check himself in

order to avoid a fervid declaration of

love! And all of this under the protec-

tion of a double-bitted axe, one eye on

her and the other on his enemies.

However, all‘ of these grave crimes

and misdemeanors were really insig-

nificant compared with his crowning

offense. What had infuriated Shirley

was the fact that she had been at some





 





 





I





 





 





pains to inform Bryce Cardigan that L, I 1‘

she loathed him—whereat he had look- ’





ed her over coolly, grinned a little, and

declined to believe her!

ingly as if fate had decreed that her





futility should be impressed~upon her ‘ "’

still further, Bryce Cardigan had- been

granted an opportunity to save, in a1",

and painful ..





strikingly calm, heroic,

manner, her and her uncle from oer~

tain and horrible death, thus placing

upon Shirley an obligation that was as,

irritating to acknowledge as it was fu-'

tile to attempt to reciprocate. _



That was where the shoe pinched.

Before that day wasover she had been

forced to do one of two things—ad

knowledge in no uncertain terms her

indebtedness to him, or remain silent

and be convicted of having been, in

plain language, a‘rotter. She had tele-

phoned him and purposely left ajar the

door to their former friendly relations.



Monstrous! He had seen the open

door and deliberately slammed it in her

face. Luckily for them both she had

heard, all unsuspected by him as he

slowly hung the receiver 011 the hook,

the soliloquy wherein he gave her a

pointed hint of the distress with which





he abdicated-which knowledge was





all that deterred her from despising





him with all the fervor of a woman'





scorned.

Resolutely Shirley set herself to the

task of forgetting Bryce when, after





the passage of a few weeks, she real- ,





ized that he was quite sincere in his

determination to forget her.

glimpses of him on the streets of Se-

quoia, the occasional mention of his

name in the Sequoia Sentinel, the very

whistle of Cardigan’s mill, made her

task a difficult one; and presently in

desperation she packed up and depart-

ed for an indefinite stay in the south~

ern part of the state. At the end of

six weeks, however, she discovered

that absence had had the traditional





effect upon her heart and found herself





possessed of a great curiosity to study

the villain at short range and discover

if possible, what new

might be meditating. About this time

a providential attack of that aristo«

cratic ailment, gout, having laid Col-

onel Pennington low, she told herself





her duty lay in Sequoia, that she had





Shirley Sumner in hand at last and

that the danger was over. In conse-

quence, she returned to Sequoia.





The fascination which a lighted Cam,





dle holds for a moth is too wellknown

to require further elucidation here. In

yielding one day to a desire to visit the

Valley of the Giants, Shirley told her-





self that she was going there to gather





wild blackberries. She had been think-



ing of a certain blackberry pie, which



thought naturally induced reflection on

- along.





HE Founder of. Christianity be-



lieved that He should go where

He was most needed. “They that are

whole need not a physician, but they

that are sick." Once a young man,

an Oxford University graduate, Was

working among the poor and outcast

of London. The drunks, the waits and

strays, the rags and tatters of human-

Then he one

day said to his bishop, “I want to go

to the worst part of Africa, where the

tribes are the most depraved. I want

to go where the peeple are most lost.”

Anybody can work where the way has

been prepared. The work “that counts

is pioneer work. By pioneer, I do not

mean necessarily felling forests and

building log houses, tho that is a big

work. I mean undertaking anything

that needs doing, where it has not

been done before.



A few months ago, there was a class

of boys in a certain Sunday School.

That is, sometimes there was a class,

and sometimes nobody came. A young

man took hold of it. He taught as

well as he could, and he went on Sat-

urday afternoon hikes with the boys.

Once they went to a lake seven miles

away, cooked their supper, and walked

back. Boys seemed to spring up out

of the ground, like crocuses, who want-

ed to join that class. That was pion-

eering, and it was worth doing. “And

they take Him with them, even as he

was, in the boat.” They would have

been fools, if they had not taken Him.

When a man gets a chance to take

God along, and does not do it, he is

a candidate for an asylum. Because

where God is, affairs succeed. People

are happy, there is the least possible

friction and the highest possible effi-

ciency. Yet people are continually

neglecting to take God into their af-

fairs. They get married, and God is

not asked to enter the new home.

They undertake new ventures in busi-

ness, but no wisdom is asked of Him

who is all wisdom. It seems to me,

that if I had the 'privilege of consult-

ing the most successful efficiency ex-

pert in the world, and could get advice

free, I should go without dinner to





avail myself of it. And that is what

God is. He runs the universe on

schedule time. The stars swing on,

the earth travels her course, and they

are always punctual to the second. If

a railway manager could operate a

railway as smoothly as God operates

the vast forces of his universe, he

could command any salary he might

name. Yet men are forever blunder-

ingon, and God is left out of account.





‘HRIST was disappointed that

night. His feelings were hurt a



bit. He could not understand why

those hardy fishermen should have

been so frightened, when He was

Of course, it was a violent

storm, but what of it, when the King

is with you? They had Him, and that

ought to be enough, for any man. A

ship was caught in a winter storm, on

the Atlantic. Things were going bad-

ly, and it was announced that the life

boats would be useless, in such waves.

A woman exclaimed, “My soul, there

is nothing left but God!” Well, what

more do you need? Isn’t God enough?





0U will.note that it stormed, even



when our Lord was present. No

special deference was paid Him, by

having the weather remain pleasant

until He and His party were safely

across the lake. Some people use

religion, as a lighting rod, to keep off

trouble. It is a cyclone cellar, where

nothing can hurt them. But we are

not taught that the Christian will be

spared his share of suffering or mis-

fortune. He cannot run and hide when

these come, but he is guaranteed suf-

ficient strength to meet all ills, what-

ever they may be. Strength is devel-

oped by contending against obstacles.

That is why farm boys are strong.

They have milked, and developed the

wrist and arm muscles, ploughed and

pitched hay, developing the back and

shoulder muscles, and walked hundreds

of miles, following the drag. Life is

repeatedly compared to fighting in

battle, in the Bible, and sometimes it

is compared to a race. “And they

awoke Him." This is a beautiful pic.

ture, this picture of the sleeping God.

While winds hiss and waves lungs, and

death dances about the boat, He sleeps

calmly on. When the soul is in danger

of yielding to sin, as in Gethsemane,

He is mightily awake. But when the

danger is merely physical, He seems

to care but little. Poor fearful hu-

manity reverses this, and is continu-

ally coming to grief. “Fear not them

which kill the body, but are not able

to kill the soul.” And He awoke and

rebuked the wind, and there was a

calm. And this our God has power

today to rebuke evil of every kind and

to bring peace to the soul or to the

nation that trusts in Him.





The Valley of the Giants





(Continued from preceding page)

Bryce Cardigan and reminded Shirley

of her first visit to the Giants under

the escort of a boy in knickerbockers.

She had a very vivid remembrance of

that little amphitheatre with the sun-

beams falling like a halo on the plain

tombstone; she wondered if the years

had changdd it all and decided that

there could not possibly be any'harm

in indulging a very natural curiosity to

visit and investigate. .

Bethlehem Spark Plugs keep your tractors IN the

knowledge of what a tractor plug must do.





Bethlehem Automobile and Truck Plugs are also

especially designed to wring the last ounce of power

out of your motor-fuel.





The great International Harvester Company, after

The ,Newer





T WAS packed full of good things.



I mean, of course, the women’s con-



ference at East Lansing, June 28 to

July 2. ‘From the social evening in

the parlors of the woman’s building

Monday, on down through the courses

in butter and cheese making, political

lectures by Mrs. Mary Hendrick, Mrs.

Mary Swartz Rose’s new lights on nu-

trition, and Miss Zella Bigelow’s lec-

tures on the project method—not to

mention the meals furnished in the

woman’s building arid the public sup-

per Wednesday night at the girls’ se-

nior house—the conference was a feast

in all senses of the word. To be sure,

some of the lectures might have been

a little beyond the woman who hasn’t

been reading along lines nutritional

and educational, but that wasn’t the

fault of the lecturers. It must be

charged up against the women who

fail to keep step with the times.



It seemed a pity that all the newly

enfranchised voters of Michigan

couldn’t hear Mrs. Hendrick’s lectures.

Mrs. Hendricks is assistant professor

of history in the Michigan Agricul-

tural college, and has the broad back-

ground of world history behind her

knowledge of United States affairs.

Her talks were “Political' Parties,”

“Party Organization,” “Party Proces-

ses,” “Citizenship and Suffrage.” The

rise of political parties,what they stand

for, the characteristics of the two big

parties in America, the necessity for

political parties, and the machinery of

government were carefully and simply

explained. Caucuses, primaries, coun-

ty and state conventions, the electoral

college, and national conventions and

their method of organizing were gone

into; several points which have been

hazy to many women were cleared up.



Mrs. Hendricks does not favor the

electoral college. She claimed it is a

needless expense, inefficient, undemo—

cratic, and sometimes elects one man

as president while the majority of the

people have voted otherwise. The

necessity which might have existed

for it in the time of Washington, she

says, no longer exists, and it should

be done away with.



Miss Laura 1. Baldt, of the depart-

ment of textiles and clothing, Teach-

ers’ College, Columbia University, had

an interesting exhibit of children’s

clothes, mostly made from the cloth-

ing of adults; and of textiles—cottons

and woolens—furnished by Michigan

business firms. She strongly advised

against spending time on old clothing

which was not perfectly strong, that

which would tear with a slight strain.

The value of a little handwork as dec-

oration was illustrated in her exhibit,

the blanket stitch, cross stitch, and a

simple running stitch with the hem-

stitch in another color~thread caught

through it, were much in evidence.





“‘3?





 





‘KnoWledge





In Home Making ‘





The work shown was done by the girls

in teachers’ college. .



Miss Bigelow’s talks were full, of

interest to the‘teachers in the confer- ‘

ence, who‘are expected to take up this

new method in teaching. Miss 13ng-

low, who came from 'the vocational

board in Washington, D. C., was in the

domestic arts department of M. A. 0.,

before going to Washington ,a year and

a. half ago. Her friends were pleased

to learn that she is to be head of the

domestic arts department in the Uni-

versity of Idaho when the university

opens in the fall. Hér two lectures,

“The Perfect Method of Teaching,”

and “The Analysis of Home Making as

a Basis for Courses of Study,” were

models in detail, thoroughness and

knowledge of the technic of her sub

ject. She explained the meaning of

projects, dwelling on vocational p'roJ~

ects, and laid stress on the necessity

for having everybody interested, su-

perintendents, teachers, mothers and

children. Mothers might be interested

by_teas, letters and personal visits

from the teacher in charge of the

project. The necessity of knowing the

qualifications of the child, so that she

need not be discouraged by a job be-

yond her, or bored by one too simple,

was emphasized.



In the second talk, teachers were

shown how to analyze the business of.

home-making as a factory superinten-

dent analyzes his job. The various

kinds of knowledge home-makers must

have and the sorts of work they do,

planning, recording, buying, employ-

ing, etc., were dwelt upon. The new

idea of home making as a means to

develop an individual and further the

welfare of society, as against the old .

idea that the home-maker was to de-

vote her time ‘to providing food, shel-

ter, clothing and child welfare, was

pointed out.



The laboratOry side of education was

taken care of by Prof. O. T. Goodwin

in four mornings of butter and cheese

making. The work was planned espe-

cially for extension workers who take

into the farm homes all that is new in

all lines of work looked upon as espe-

cially women’s. Miss Ruth Kellogg,

instructor of Household Science, gave

interesting demonstrations of mechan-

ical devices for the home. Various

kinds of washing machines,—-both

hand and power,——helps for ironing

day, vacuum cleaners, and all sorts of

kitchen kinks were shown, their good'

points eulogized and their defects ,

pointed out.



What They Had to Eat.



After so much “feast of reason,”'it

may seem like a sickening drop to

mere “eats.” But in spite of "the fact

that the new aim in home-making is

“to develop an individual.” the fact re-

mains that a very substantial aid. to .'

Reducing The Washing





By Margaret A. Bartlett





0 THE mother with several small

children, the problem of reducing

the size of the washing is of consider-

able iimportance, whether that wash—

ing be done by hand or power at home,

or whether a woman be paid by the





Astra homes, everything- which .





would eliminate dishwashing and save

steps, and still. not encroach on good

taste, was done. The, macaroni, beef

and beets were all served on the plate

given you, as were the toast and dill

pickles the second day, and the beans,





eggs, and beet salad on the third day *





The doughnuts were on the table when

you were seated on the second day;

on the third day the tomato preserves

were passed in “home style," the dish

being on the table when the visitors

were seated, and the rice pudding was

at each plate when you sat down. The

only dessert brought in at the close

of the meal was that of the first day.

'(Continued from page 94)’





Wayne county is one of the real

features of the Farm Bureau activi-

ties. Glenn 0. Stewart, County .Club

Agent, was born and raised in north-

ern Indiana, graduated from M. A. C.

in 1917. He was assistant to Mr.

Lindeman for seven months, and

served as County Club "Agent in Kent

county until he enlisted in the U. S.

Army, Coast Artillery, at Fort Mon-

roe, Virginia. ».In February, 1919, he;

returned to Michigan and, became

County Club Agent in Wayne county.

In discussing the various projects and

objects of the work, Mr. Stewart said:



“It is a part' of the plan of expand-

ing Wayne County Farm Bureau work

so, that it will grow along a lot. of

lines, but one branch that is to have

very close attention is that of the

boys’ and girls’ clubs. This work was

started here in ~Michigan about six

years ago and is now a stabilized line

of endeavor. It does more than to

interest the boys and girls in the

home work. It gives the young per-

son a chance to outline a piece of

work and carry it through to comple-

tion. Club work is past the experi-

mental stage. It is a prominent fea-

ture of agricultural extension work."



The boys’ and girls’ dairy club is

the first in the state to be put on a.

bred heifer basis. One of the primary

objects of this club was to interest

boys from the‘age of 14 to ’21 years

in such a. way as would hold them on

the farms. Boys of this age are espe-

cially eager to do or try to do the

things that men do, and the ownership

of bred heifers imposes on them a.

larger responsibility than the mere

possession or calves. Besides the

heifers carry future pure bred sires or

foundation females to farms at present

Sometimes it is

difficult for boys when their calves

reach; breeding age, to find or secure

the use of purebred bulls at the right

time or conveniently near their homes

and they disappointedly mate them

with scrubs. At such a critical time

in their experience a shock of this

sort is most unfortunate and should

be guarded against. ‘



The cost of the registered bred Hol-

stein heifers averaged $250. and “to

of the boys had the money in the bank

to pay for their heifers; while the

others borrowed money at the banks

where their fathers did business and

signed contract‘notes.



A special effort is made to get the

boys and girls to look at each project

the same as their parents look at the

County Farm Bureau, and to have

them stay in all of the time, so that

when they pass from the club work

stage they can become members of

the Farm Bureau. '



With bred heifers the club work is

put on a three year basis. Three year-

ly contests are held, dealing with the

care, feeding and management of the

calf, the heifer and the c0w during

her first milking period. During that

time the members pay for their own

calves, and become permanent own-

ers of their animals. If the object of

the club work is'to create a. higher

average of individual excellence;

quicker returns, and the founding and-

strengthening of herds, then the bred

heifer is the kind of an animal for

high class club work, and should__ be

encouraged by more club leaders in

the state. . -

row, Leader. Mrs. Damerow is a

member of the" State Championship

Team. ' ‘





IG club work has been started at

Northville on, a. township basis

and is being conducted as a contest in

connection with the Northville~Wayne

County Fair. Two classes of the

breeding and feeding projects are be-_

ing run. C. H. Young is donating a.

Duroc Jersey gilt to the member‘scor-

ing highest with the Berkshire breed.

Prizes will also be given in the feed-

ing contest. The pig club members

and the dairy club boys are planning

to form a stock-judging team, and will

get together and take a joint tour

with the Washtenaw county boys some

time this summer. -

Rabbit clubs at Plymouth, Sand Hi1 _

and Smithville have been organised,

and the boys are raising both breed-

ing stock and rabbits for market. This

kind of a club makes it possible for

many boys to ‘get the benefitsfrom-

club work without making a large cash

investment for breeding stock. In a.

county like Wayne, with so many,

small farms, club work must be con- '

ducted on a. somewhat broader basis~

than is the case where the majority

of farmers own large farms and are

in a position to give the boys greater

opportunities in breeding and feeding ‘

cattle and hogs.





 





Sir Haym'aker Chaslen.





During the drive over the county -

with Mr. Gregg we visited the office

and warehouse of the Plymouth Agri-

cultural Association at Plymouth. This

organization of market gardeners has

about 160 members and the business is

principally that of handling farm sup-

plies and putting up tomato pulp for

the manufacturers of tomato condi-‘

ments. A large share of the members

are also members of the County Farm

Bureau and it is hoped that they will

soon afi‘iliate with the Farm Bureau

and take advantage of the better sys~

tern of purchasing supplies co-opera-

tively. The officers and directors of

the association are William Farley,

president; W. Postiff, vice-president;

F; E. Toncray, secretary-treasurer;

Will Kobbeman, Sam Spiecer, James

Gates, Charles Root and W. S. Birch,

directors. Last year’s business totaled

about $50,000.



Over near Northville we visited

Chaslen Farms, where they breed

Duroc Jersey swine, Shorthorn cattle

and Percheron horses. The Durco Jér-

sey herd is strong‘ in the blood of

Defender, Colonel Gano and Cherry

King, and the Senior herd sire is

Long-Wonder, a son of High Model.

For a Junior site a Brookwater Mar,

3. son of Panama Special is being used

quite extensively. At present they have

Haymaker is a calf from his herd that





porters, with the result that he finally

landed. at Chaslen Farms.



On the Way from Northville to Plym-

011th, we looked over the 200 acre

stock farm owned by Fred Kennedy.

Here We found some Clydesdale horses

that had quality and action to spare.

Mr. Kennedy also breeds some mighty

good 0. I. C. swine and Hampshire

sheep. At the head of his Clydesdale

band is a grandson of the famous old

Baron of Buchlivie. He has two im-

ported mares that would show well in

any company and some colts of out-

standing type and quality. Mr. Ken-

nedy operates a tractor and ditching

machine. During the past few years

he has put in over 18 miles of tile

drains. on his farm.





Our next stop was at Fairman

Farms, where Superintendent H. H.

Dowell is building up a herd of Berk-

Shires. They now have about 60 head

on the farm and have recently pur—

chased some good individuals from

Indiana herds. The Holstein herd num-

bers about 22 head. Percheron horses

an Belgian horses are also bred at

Fairman Farms. 550 acres of land at

these farms are used primarily to

grow food for the livestock.





NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.





(Continued from page 90)



ary lower prices might be obtained in

certain food commodities by encourag—

ing imports from abroad, but it would

be a grave economic mistake to favor

any policy that will render this coun-

try unable to feed itself and such a

policy 'can only result in serious food

shortages and increased priCes in

times of deficiencies in. the world’s

production. He who talks. about the

importation of farm products as a

means of reducing the cost of food—

stuffs for the American people is only

arguing in favor of an eventual oasis

in the food supply which would stag-

ger the nation.”





The bill to increase the tariff on





without opposition. A minority re-

port argued that “beans are a common





of living, especially to the poorer

classes, if the bill should be enacted

into law, would be appalling.” It was

claimed that the 100,000,000 people in

the United States would consume

beans ought not to be barred by a

tariff law from the use of the cheap

Asiatic beans, for the protection of

the 70,000 bean growers in Michigan

and other states. Edible beans have

been taxed 25 cents a bushel under

the present‘ law. The proposed law

will increase the tarifl to $1.20 a

bushel.





In his annual address before the

National Lime Association, President

Charles Warner emphasized the need





lime for agricultural purposes in order

that farmers may be able to find lim-

ing material available when they are

ready to use them. He suggested





housing and sales companies to erect

and manage local storage warehouses

at various points throughout the

country.





The Washington representatives of

the National Lime Association, to em-

phasize the point that the farmer need

not hesitate to lime his land because

of the increased cost of the material,

have made comparisons of prices

based on current quotations, showing

that whereas the cost of lime has in-

creased 86 per cent since 1916, crop

prices have gone up in the same pe-

riod 112 per cent. The scarcity of

labor and lack of adequate. transpor-

tation facilities have held down the

production of agricultural lime during

the ' past three years, but the supply

wtll be largely increased when the

railroads are equipped for handling

Bankers Buy Purebred

Holstein Cattle.





To promote general prosperity and

their own busmess, bankers in many

parts of the country are buying pure-



red Holsteins by the carload and sell-

ing them on time to the farmers of the

community.



Every year it becomes clearer that

with large yield cows the cost of milk

and butter production can be brought

down to a point that makes dairying

profitable.



A herd of purebred Holsteins is an

investment that combines safety with

large dividends.

The American Railway lllxpresigsH .

Company has asked ' the Interstatem '

Commerce Commission to approve its;





continued operation as a. censolidation





of the Wells-Farge Company, Adams" .

Express Company, American Express}





Company and Southern Express Com?

pany. Officials of the consolidated

company told the commission that

$31,000,000 was needed for equipment;

and additions to its ‘existing facilities

and it would be difficult to obtain thi'é

sum from the banks unless the con~

solidation was continued.





The falling down of the railways in

freight transportation , is giving the

Interstate Commerce Commission

much trouble. It is not confined to

any one section or industry. The Vir-

ginia potato growers, with a very large

crop, could sell their tubers at from

$10 to $11.50 a barrel, but are largely





prevented from taking advantage of





these high prices because of a leek of

cars. The railroads need to haul 4,000

cars of coal daily to the Great Lakes

ports to supply the Northwest with

coal. The average daily delivery of

coal for the Northwest is 1,675 cars,

one-half the quantity said to be neces-

sary as insurance against coal famine

in the Northwestern states. The wheat

growers, lime manufacturers, fertilizer

manufacturers, lumber men, and rep-

resentatives of other industries are

begging the Interstate ' Commerce

Commission to provide cars sufficient

to meet their present needs.





It is the opinion of those ,who have

made the subject a study, as given out

by the American Farm Bureau Federa-

tion Washington office, that the pres-

ent freight transportation crisis is not

so much an actual shortage of cars as

of labor efficiency. It is shown that

there is a. total shortage of 150,000 to

200,000 freight cars out of a total of

2,300,000 cars, 1983 than ten per cent.

While there has been ten per cent in-

crease in business offered, these two

factors do not account for the break-

ing down in transportation.





The Farm Bureau oflice suggests

that if the freight rates are increased

to an extremely high level, it will be

hard to get them down again, and that

the time for the farmersto make a

fight for reasonable rates is now. They

are willing that labor should have a

decent wage; but they have no pa—

tience with inefficiency of labor,

whether it be wilful with the idea. of

creating more jobs, or as a. result of

habits formed during the war period.



It is pointed out by men here who

are familiar with the grain situation

that shipment of wheat is going to be

slow. Farmers will be compelled to

enlarge their granaries or use other

means of storing their grain. This,

however, may not be a disadvantage,





as the world conditions indicate that





whee-at prices will be higher than at

present. ‘





There'are some interesting develop-

ments in the: fertilizer trade. J. I.

Tierney, Washington representative of

the American Fertilizer Manufactur-

ers’ Association, who has made a sur-

vey of the fertilizer trade for fall ship~

ment, says the situation is alarming.

The trade asked to have orders placed

early. The manufacturers hate the or-

ders, but cannot get cars to ship the

goods. It will require 22,000 cars to





handle the Middle West shipments,‘in :





additionto the present supply, and

the car shortage in the trucking sec:

tions is nearly as bad. He is asking





the farm organizations to join in an

appeal to the Interstate Commerc“





Commission for priority. of orders. on

signs of activity. At Detroit cho1ce

pea beans are quoted at $7 per cwt.





SEEDS





Market inactive and prices un-

changed. At Detroit present values

are prime red clover, $24; alsike, $24;

timothy, $5.50.





FEEDS





Quotations on the local market are

as follows: Bran, $56@57; standard

middlings, $59@60; fine middlings,

light mixed, $35GD 36; No. 2 timothy,

$34@35; No 3 timothy, $31GD33; No.

j 1 mixed, $33GD34; No. 1 clover, $32@

33; rye straw, $13. 50@14; wheat and

oat straw, $13.50@14 per ton in car-





lots.

POTATOES





Virginia No. 1 new potatoes are

quoted at $12.75 per bbl. on the local





market.

BUTTER





On the local market the situation is

easy and quotations are: Creamery,

55c; creamery prints, 560 per pound.





EGGS





Buyers are active and the market is

firm. Local values are No. 1 fresh, 44

@450; storage packed extras, 441/2G.

450 per dozen.





POULTRY





Consumers are finding it difficult to

get enough good stuff to supply their

wants. Values of live poultry at De-

troit are: Broilers, 50GDS5C; Leghorn

broilers, 40c; hens, 36@37c; small

_ hens, 34GD36c; roosters, 20GD22c;

geese, 18GD200; ducks, 36@4OC; tur-

keys, 40GD45c per lb.





WOOL





The wool market has brightened

somewhat and mill buyers are cover-

ing their immediate needs. The de-

mand shows some expansion, but the

sales have been so scattered that it is

difficult to get at the basis of values.

Receipts from the war west are about

41 per cent of what they were at this

time last year. This is due to some

extent from the railroad conditions as

well as the inactivity of eastern buy-

ers. Dealers who have been trying to

purchase some of the best fleece clips

have succeeded to no appreciable ex-

tent. In .some sections the idea pre—

vails that the concessions obtained

from Washington recently will give

the growers an advance of 25 cents

per pound for their wool, and they

are asking it accordingly.





GRAND RAPIDS ,





There was a drop in the paying

price for wheat by millers this week,

ten cents for red and six for white,

per bushel. The new grading prices

are: No. 1 red, $2.55; No. 2 red, $2.52;

No. 3 red, $2.49; No. 1 white, $2.53;

No. 2 white, $2.50; No. 3 white, $2.47.

A little new Michigan wheat has been

vested and the yield is an average

one. Farmers are paid $5. 00 to $5. 25





:pgbaskt.~

move and is reported to be a heavy

one this season. The price this week

Dressed hogs are a little higher at

19c to 20c per pound, while mutton is

lower at 180 to 20c. Only a few spring

lambs are being marketed.



‘ Egg market is higher, due to falling

off in receipts. Dealers pay 42c per

dozen in carlots.



Early cabbage crop is a heavy one

and cheap, growing selling at $1.25

per bushel. Duchess apples sold’on

the city market Saturday for $1.50 per

bushel.



Blackberry crop promises to be the

best in many seasons, the first pick—

ing sold on the city market this week

for $6.00 per crate.





NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKE—T.





Butter.—The butter .market‘ has

been weak and inactive the greater

part of the week. The principal rea-

son for that condition is the arrival of

large quantities of butter, both do-

mestic and foreign. Receipts of do-

mestic butter were practically on a

par with those of last year at this

time, this being the first week that

such a condition has prevailed. There

will be no large consignments of for.-

eign butter in the immediate future,

as Holland has placed an embargo on

exportation of butter, and Denmark

has contracted with England for the

greater part of her output. Prices

declined 11/2c during the first part of

the week, but on Friday there was a

recovery of 1/2c, because of greater

activity. Quotations are: Extras,

561/2c; higher scoring than extras, 57

@571/2c; firsts, 521/2@560; and, sec-

onds, 48@511/zc.



Cheese—Receipts of state cheese

have been comparatively light during

the past week and there are reports

that the make is greatly on the de-

cline. Western cheese, particularly

Wisconsin make, is arriving in liberal

quantities. The market is inactive

but quotations have changed very lit-

tle. Quotations are: Fair to good,

24%@251/20; average run, 26@27c;

and, specials, 271/1 @281/2c.



Eggs—The egg market has been

somewhat colorless during the week.

Receipts have been slightly higher

than for last week, but reports indi-





cate lessening collections. Quality is

running low. Quotations are: Seconds,-

421,§@44c; firsts, 45@480; extra 'flrSts,

49@51c; and, extras, 52@531,§c. -

Poultry.—-While receipts were high-

er during the week than for the previ-

ous week, there has been marked ac-

tivity in the market and prices have

advanced slightly. Broilers are arriv-

ing in larger quantities, with the re-

sult that prices have a lower trend. |

Quotations are: Fowls, 38@390; broil-

ers, 50@55c; old roosters, 24c; tur-

keys, 35c; ducks, 250; geese, 18@200.





DETROIT GROWERS' MARKET.





There was but a light supply of_

fruits and vegetables offered on the

farmers’ markets. Monday morning.

Buying was fairly active and high

prices prevailed generally. Red and

black raspberries sold readily at $11

to $12 and $8 to $9, respectiVely, for

24—quart crates. The light supply of

cherries brought $7 to $8 a crate. A

few dozens of— locally grown cucum-

bers were sold at $1 a dozen. Out-

door tomatoes brought $2.75 to $3.25

for baskets of 15 to 18 pounds each

and $9 to $10 a bushel. Greenhouse

tomatoes sold readily at $4 per 14-

pound basket for the best quality

stock and $3.50 to $3.75 for poorer

stock. Cabbage moved fairly well at

At this season thousand: of lambs die every year in the

State of Michigan from the ravages of worms. Entire

pastures become infected. The only way. to prevent this

is to kill the larvae as soon as they develop in the

sheep‘s stomach and before they become large enough to

migrate to other portions of the sheep‘s anatomy.

BREEDERS’ PICNIC





 





_‘.EARLY1in the morning of June 25





there Were unusual signs of activ-

ity at the Geo. Heimforth Resort on

"Lake Leelanau, Leelanau County, the

occasion being the second annual meet-

mg of the Northwestern Michigan

Shorthom Breeders’ Association, and

dncidentlly to help Mr. Heimforth cele-

brat his 49th birthday. The day was

idea , long tables had been constructed

in the grove in anticipation of the big

pot luck'dinner. In addition to the

many well-filled baskets brought by the

picnickers, the host ushered in an

eighty-pound lamb roasted a la barbe-

que style. Next came the presentation

of the mammoth birthday cake with

its 49 candles by Professor Edwards.

For the next hour the. near three hun-

dred guests did their best to clean up

on the eats. but were unable to reach

the goal.



Toastmaster Fred Smith, of Elk Rap-

ids, then introduced several local

speakers. Mr. Thomas Read, speaker

of the House of Representatives, was

next introduced, followed by Professor

Edwards of M. A. C. (the Shorthorn

Breeders' friend and speaker of the

day.) In» his talk, Mr. Edwards made

a strong appeal to breeders to rally

to the support of the Michigan State

Shorthorn Breeders’ Association, that

they might be of greater service to the

Shorthorn Breeding fraternity of Mich—

igan. Following the speaking, a short

business session was held. The fol-

lowing ofiicers were re-elected for an-

other year: J. W. Zimmerman, Trav-

erse City, Mich., president; Geo. Ar-

nold, Bates, vice-president, and R. F.

Zimmerman, Traverse City, secretary—

treasurer. A committee was also ap-





pointed to secure the funds necessary





to purchase three or more Shorthorn





ésteers for the barbecue to be held at





the NorthWestern Michigan fair





i. grounds at Traverse City, Aug. 9 or 10,

in honor of the Michigan Farmers’

? Tour. .





In conclusion a rising vote of thanks

was tendered Mr. Heimforth. and it

was voted unanimously to accept Mr.

Heimforth's invitation for the next

annual meeting to be on the same date

at the same place. Messrs. Heimforth,

Sr. and Jr., are two of the liveliest

Shorthorn enthusiasts in Michigan,

and we predict it will not be long un-

til Valley View Farm Shorthorns will

be known far and wide.
