Michigan’s Grand Old Man of Science





farming interests of the state. Others have gone into business,

medicine, law, and the like.



Doctor Beal was a very live teacher. He could “spot” the drones

and the energetic ones as quickly asany professor M. A. C. ever

had. He loved to get off a joke that would enliven things and

grease the class-room wheels. One day we were studying fungi.

My room-mate wanted to know if any of these fungi were poison-

ous. The Doctor said that two were. Whereupon my doughty

partner replied that he had tasted all the specimens and they

hadn’t hurt him. “Very well,” said the Doctor, “I’ll make note of

the fact that they are not injurious to the lower order of animals.”

“Did anyone leave this old umbrella here?” the Doctor inquired

one day. “Yes, sir, I did,” said a student. “That’s good, I’m glad

to know it, because the fellow who left this one took mine!”





OME people believe that the teaching profession is not worth



while. There is not enough money in it. But when one con



templates a life like that of Doctor Beal, and what it has meant, to



the state and to hundreds of individuals, there is no argument on



the question as to whether a teacher who loves his subject and



who loves his pupils is an asset to society. And when'one sees the



cheering that this aged professor of botany gets when he appears



at commencement time, it is enough to make him feel that money



is not the sole consideration in choosing a career. And while we



speak of the love of one’s work, it may be interesting to record



one of the Doctor's experiments, the end. of which he knew he



would never see. Forty years ago, he buried in a certain spot on



, _ p . the campus something like twenty bottles. In each bottle are



um . ..,_ .. .7 . 7" ‘ ‘ seeds of certain well known weeds. The idea was to determine



“T/iisfiower 2/2me its seed: a long way. I measured #1:: distance how long these seeds will retain their vitality. One bottle was to



- several times”. be exhumed every five years. Already eight bottles have been dug

up, and there are enough remaining for half a century to come.

ACH commencement at the Michigan Agricultural College is

E now marked by a particular event. That is the arrival of



Doctor Beal. Doctor Beal, now eighty-seven years of age,

was professor of botany at the College for_ forty years, retiring in

1910. Not many men have had "the delight of seeing so many of

their students attain places of note in the educational world.



To enumerate all the professors, deans, research workers, that

received their training in botany under Doctor Beal would practi-

cally require naming every agricultural college in the United States

and Canada, and scores of other universities and colleges. One of

his students, alone, has been the author of_ a score of volumes

and has edited two large encyclopedias besides—L. H; Bailey, for-

merly Dean of the College of Agriculture, Cornell University. The

deans of agriculture in the colleges of agriculture in Illinois, Ne-

braska, Oregon, Missouri, West Virginia, North Dakota, Tennessee,

Colorado, are all Beal men. Perhaps there are others. There are

editors, such as Collingwood of the Rural New Yorker, Wermuth of

the Michigan Farmer, Sevey of the New England Homestead. At

least three are college presidents: Kedzie of Michigan, Butterfield

of 'Massachuetts, and McKenny of the Michigan‘State Normal COI-

lege. To list all who are or have been, in the U. S. Department of

Agriculture, would require a good deal of typesetting.

Farm Crop good could be no

, , * complished if farmers

Exh’b‘ts of the state could

at Fairs work in harmony with





their cainty farm bu-

reaus and officials of the tall fairs in

preparing good crop exhibits. The de-

velopment m the many county farm

bureaus throughout the state is sure

to stimulate a lively interest in. pre-

paring these exhibits of farm crops,

and it is to be regretted that the ofii-

cials of some of our big fairs have sub-

stituted state and federal exhibits for

farm bureau and club exhibits of far

more educational value. 011 the other

hand, some of our lair officials. have

increased their awards and are making

every efiort to encourage this phase of

their exhibits. It is none too early for

those who are in a‘ position to, make

such exhibits to make preparations.

Now that the work is being put on

a more substantial basis and plants

have been perfected so that the farm-

ers will be assured of a better market

for their seed, a. wonderful amount of

good can be accomplished by improv~

ing these exhibits at our fairs. There

is no doubt that the value of such ex-

hibitions has been minimized because

of the alleged practices of certain ex-

hibitors, who have carefully gathered

samples of grain and vegetable speci-

mens in various parts of the state and

country and entered them in competi-

tion with local farmers’ exhibits of

home-grown crops. While some of

these exhibits were not without some

educational value, they have had a. ten-

dency to discourage many local ex-

hibitors. One of the first things the

crop improvement departments of the

new county and state farm bureaus

should do is to correct this evil by im

stating upon an entry system that

properly chassiflcs the exhibitors. This

is a problem. that should be given care-

In} consideration by those. in charge of

nity basis will increase interest and

do away with petty jealousies.



These exhibits not only amoral a fine

opportunity for the farmers to study

thepointsofspeeialmefitintheu—

hibits, but with a skilled, judge they

can profit more largely by m; the

deficiencies or the specimens that make





W up the exhibits. It is easy to say good

things or win popular applam by din-





cnssing the excellencies at our farm

crops. but the majority of us could

profit more largely by giving special

attention and study to some of the out-

standing faults of the specimens on

exhibition. In the first place the ex-

hibitor should be a close student of the

demands of the leading markets for

thekindotcropsheispcemior

exhibition. M knowledge will glve

him an idea of the points. which go to

make up crop excellence and to pre-

pare his exhibits with such points

firmly in mind.



Another matter which should be «giv-

en careful attention in studying these

exhibits is the adaptability of certain

varieties of farm crops to the climate

of the locality where they are grown.

Another fact which they seldom tail

to bring out is the fact that the farm-

ers in the community are growing too

many types and varieties, especially in

the case of corn. Some of these varie-

ties mature early and do not run too

much to cab to produce the most grain

and have less to fear from frost. All

of these matters require close study

and observation on the part of indi-

vidual growers, and the most success-

ful way of inducing farmers to select

better seed is to bring together the

products of their farms and hold prac-

tical demonstrations along with the

judging of their exhibits. Such work

has a far greater educational value

than importing foreign exhibits and

neglecting exhibits of interest to the

farmers of a state or county.

‘EIHA‘I' panes to be the most

wrenching conference on mare

toting farm products ever held



in America w‘as called to order on July

23 by J. R. Howard, president of the

American Farm Bureau Federation at

the Hotel LaSallc, Chicago, Illinois.

Over five hundred people were pres:

ent, responding to the call for repre-

sentatives of all farmers’ cooperative

companies interested ,in marketing

grain and live stock, such as State Co-

operative Grain Dealer-8’ Associations,

Cooperative Live Stock 3um AS"

sociations, Farmers’ Unions, Societies

of Equity, Farm Bureau Federations

and Masters of State Granges, togeth-

or with representatives of the Depart:

ment of Agriculture, Agricultural Co}

logos, State Departments of Agricul-

ture, and the Agricultural Press.‘ Ini-

tial plans “were laid which it is hoped

will lead to taking the next step in

marketing farm products by the farm-

ers them-selves.





The first day’s session, given over

largely to hearing statements. of the

work being done by the organizations

already in the field, and suggestions for

their federation into one unit reached

its climax when Aaron Sapiro, attor-

ney for fourteen of the carom co~

operative marketing organizations was

given the floor. Mr. Sapiro, who is

considered the best informed man in

America on the business organization

and legal aspects of cooperative asso

chtions, told the gathering d the work

of the California raisin, prune, apricot

and orange growers, and followed with

a daring plan for the marketing of the

Auctions wheat crop. Defining his

idea of cooperation as the American

brand, which is producer’s or seller’s

cooperation rather than consumers co-

operation, which is represented by the

Rochdale plan oil the English cooper-

ative societies, he stated to the gath-

ering that the fundamental principles

underlying the success of the Collins-7

nia associations were: That growm

were organized to sell by commodities,





such as. raisins, or groups of commode





ties, like prunes and apricots, whose

marketing problems Were identical

rather than by communities; that the

selling organization was formed with-

out capital stock, thus avoiding legal

difficulties and also any tendency for

the organization to make money out of

the producers; that marketing was a

specialists job, and when the market-

ing organization was formed experts

should be placed in charge of its var-

ious departments, such as salesman-

ship, transportation, statistics, legal

and advertising; that to be effective

the growers must bind themselves to

sell through the organization for a pe—

riod of years, at least five; that they

must give title to their: prodwt to the

selling «grammatical which is then pool-

ed by class and grade with that, oil oth-

er growers and the pool sold where-

upon the grower is paid tor his share

of the pool, less the cost of selling it;

that with title to the product the mar-

keting association can obtain ware

house receipts which: form the basis of

loans so that the grower receives a

promo-t advance payment immediately

upon delivery, and that 8 SW pen

centage of the crop must be signed up

to the selling organization to control

the price before it is worth while to

make the start.

Other speakers at the confer-choc

were 0. H. Gustafson, of Nebraska,

president of the Farmers’ Union; 3.

Drake, of Minnesota, secretary 01 the

Equity Cooperative Exchange; ma

Meyers, secretary of the Farmers’ Nor

tional Grain Dealers’ Association, who

told of the work their organizations.

were doing in the solution of. local

grain marketing problems through the

ownership of the country elevator,and

the start they had made to have their

own brokerage houses upon the lead

might secure fairer treatment and also

a solution of the problem in which the

farmer is most hierested, namely, a

more stable price and a higher over-

age price in order that there will} be

fewer times when he is obliged to sell

below cost of production. This most

important feature was included in the

plan discussed by W. G. Eekhardtt, di~

rector of grain marketing, of the lid

nets Agricultural Association, and, was

covered mm more fully by Mr. Sapiro

told of the service of his. department

and its need for more funds, especially

to gather statistical and marketing in-

formation which farmers want.



A. A. Elmore, secretary of the

Association, stated that organizatim

is already going upon the California

plan. with fifty million bushels of wheat

diam Council of Agriculture asked for

an international conception of the mar‘

keting plan, and Clifford Thorne dis-

cussed his work to reduce the size at

the coming freight rate increase, flirty

per cent of which will be borne direct-

ly or indtrectly by the farmers.





Complete agreement of all the organ-

icatimw represented as to manner at

taking. the out great step could hardly

be expected. The Farmer-3’ National

Grain. Dealers? Association manifested

a tendency to split off from. the tea:

and. "whop its own nigger.” How im-

portant it's differences are cannot now

be determined, but it is the belief that

there is coming to be enough cohesive

power among farmers and farm om

motions to bridge" over any such gaps

'VURING the last two seasons a

small insect known as a leaf

hopper has been doing a very





great amount of damage to the potato

“sula.

, 'ance to the green aphis which is ire-

~ Quently found working on a variety of



I crops, including the potato.





This insect is similar in appear-





It differs

During the early stages of“ its de-

velopment it is found on the underside

.method of feeding isto suck the plant

i this operation it causes the injury to





 





 





 

 

 

 

 

 





the plants which has formerly beeh

known as tipburn.



Dr. E. D. Ball, formerly of Wiscon-

sin but now Professor of Entomology

at Ames, Iowa, was the first man to

discover and pronounce the fact that

the leaf hoppers are largely respon-





' sible for the trouble called tipburn.





Dr. Ball has changed the name of this

trouble to hopperburn. According to

Dr. Ball, the adult leaf hoppers live

over the winter, hiding in brush and

rubbish, in woods and fence rows.

They do not appear until late in the

Spring, then they gradually come out

and feed on the grass and weeds,

rarely touching a potato at that time.



On June 6, 1919, at Ames, the air

was swarming with the leaf hopper in

their spring flight. After this ‘ww

over, they settled down on the potato

fields in large numbers. They soon

began to lay invisible greenish eggs in

the stems and veinlets of the leaves.

The egg laying continued from one to

two months. Their total length of life

is over a year. The eggs hatch into

nymphs which remain on the under

side .of the leaves. _

develop the burning of the leaves on

the potatoes began-to appear. They

shed five skins during the course of

their development.



A second flight of the hoppers oc-





As the nymphs,





 





5 “toning. Leaf Hoppers. On Potatoes

curred in midsummer and at the end

of this flight they settled down on the

late potatoes. At Ames during 1919

the hoppers hatched at the rate of

about 2, 000 per plant.



It is not as yet positively known

just how the hoppers cause the po—

tato leaves to turn brown on the tips

and margin. It is sufficient for the

practical grower to know that this

condition and the leaf hopper are

closely associated; that if the leaf

hopper isrcontrolled the tipburn will

be controlled.



Many growers in the Upper Penin-

sula know that in 1919 early planted

fields of potatoes of such varieties as

the Irish Cobbler and Triumph were

in many cases almost entirely ruined

by the action of the leaf hoppers, and

results on the late planted potatoes,

while not so severe, were in many

cases serious enough to cause heavy

loss. This is particularly true of the

Green Mountain variety.



Methods of Control.



Parasitic fungus diseases will kill





 





FAfiMan





a great many of the hoppers, espe~

cially during weather which is favor—

able for the development of these dis—

eases. Egg parasite, according to Dr.

Ball, took about 40 per cent of the

second brood in 1919. We can expect

that some seasons the injury from

these insects will be much greater

than others.



The form of spray material which

seems logical to ‘use and which is

recommended by some writers is nico-

tine sulphate, of which Black Leaf 40

is one of the common brands. When

this material can be applied so that

it strikes the insects, it will kill at

leastthose in the nymph form. The

difficulty in the use of this material is

to reach these insects, so many of

which fly when disturbed. Most grow-

ers who have attempted to use nico-

tine have been disappointed with the

results, probably because the method

of application was such that compara-

tively few of them were hit.



Much better results have been re-

ported from different states where

bordeaux is used frequently through-

out the year. Bordeaux is not a sure

preventive of the injury caused by leaf

hoppers but apparently this material,

when properly applied, will greatly re-

duce the percentage of injury. Pro-.

fessor Parrott of Geneva, New York,

found that bordeaux, with an excess of

lime wash more effective than the

normal bordeaux. Experiments are

being conducted in several states this

season to determine the best material

to use to control leaf hopper and the

best method of application.



The potato growers who wish to

protect their plants in the best known

manner will do well‘to use bordeaux

and if nicotine sulphate is added to

this and the application made with

considerable care so that the under

sides; of the leaves are well covered,

no doubt the results will be better

than where the bordeaux alone is used.

When it is realized that an added ad-

vantage of using bordeaux to protect

the plants against a possible late

blight attack, it should encourage po-

tato growers to a more common and

thorough use of bordeaux. The

strength of bordeaux commonly rec—

ommended in this state is four pounds

of vitrol and four to six pounds of

lime to fifty gallons of water. It

should be understood that.the lime

is added primarily to prevent burning





with the vitrol. There is no objec-

tion to adding lime in considerable

quantity so long as there is not





enough used to clog the nozzles of the

spraying outfit. "



Growers should take into considera-

tion the fact that bordeaux can be

used in combination with the poison

sprays as well as with the nicotine

spray. When used in this manner the

added cost is simply the cost of ma-

terial, as the labor Would be practi—

cally the same as where poison alone

is used.



Our advice, therefore, would be for

potato growers to use bordeaux very

generally this season, not expecting"

that it will entirely prevent the injury

by leaf hopper if they prove to be

numerous.





Sheep On The Dairy Farm





T is generally admitted by experi-

I‘enced fiockmasters that the major-



ity of dairy farms present ideal con-

ditions for handling and supporting a

small, but select, flock of sheep. The

methods of crop growing and caring

for the dairy herd furnish proper feed

for the flock, and, if properly housed,





'the feeding can be done at regular pe-

riods with practically no loss of time





or labor. On many dairy farms a rigid

culling of the cows, and a small band

of ewes in the place of the low pro-

ducers, would not only add to the prof—

its from the business, but would aid

materially in balancing the labor

problem.





There are bertain limiting factors in

dairying, the same as in sheep raising,

which for themost part make it un-

profitable to 'extend either, or both,

beyond certain limits. These limits

are stable room, labor and grain feeds

for the dairy herd, pasture land, par-

asitic infection, woven wire fencing





”find waste feeds for the'sheep.





, Dairy cows require a vast amount

ether and considerable grain feeds.





 





 





and sanitary equipment to give a prod-

uct adapted to the trade. Sheep thrive

remarkably well in open sheds, and it

is to them that we can turn for the

most profitable marketing of the sur-

plus fodders and silage. For the one

hundred and fifty-acre dairy farm forty

ewes make a good average flock to

carry from year to year. A few less

cows and more sheep could be made

profitable on thousands of our Mich-

igan dairy farms.



The selection of the breed is of small

importance compared with the other

problems of handling the flock. At the

present time the flock that will furnish

a few good lambs and yield profitable

fleeces of wool will give the \most

profit. If some particular breed is the

most popular in the community, for

many reasons it, would be advantage

ous to select ewes of that breed for

foundation stOck. One might just as

well suit his fancy in the matter of

breed right at the start because he can

do it cheaper then than he can shift

over a few years later, ,When prices

are right, or when he can make a good

deal in picking up a few uniform,





thrifty, well grown ewes, he should not





hesitate to make the start. The main





 





 





 





" to be fitted for market a good Start and





obtained than when a mixed. flock is

kept.





The first step toward fitting the farm

for sheep raising will be to inclose

some of the fields with sheep~tight

fences so that the ewes will have

abundant range to gather an adequate

supply of feed. As soon as practicable

fences should be provided so that the

ewes and lambs, can clean out the





fence rows, glean'the stubble fields and,





convert the aftermath of the meadows

into profitable wool and mutton. Farms

that support sheep .are remarkably

free from weeds. Sheep not only clean

up. the fields and fence rows, but, if

allowed to range over the pastures

grazed by dairy cows, they will clean

up the undesirable weeds and grasses

in a way that could not be equaled

with other kinds of stock. Some of the

most foul pastures have been greatly

improved by allowing sheep to graze

tervals during the grazing season.





‘ The. kinds of hay, grain and fodder

crops grown on the dairy farm pro-

vides an excellent ration. for the sheep.

A small field of rape for fall grazing

will give the ewes and lambs that are





 





visable to allow the sheep to harvest

their own feeds.



The feeding of a small amount of

silage has solved the difficult problem

of bringing the pregnant ewes through

the winter feeding period without the

use of roots. Silos are an essential

part of the equipment of all well-man—

aged dairy farms. This is also another

reason why the dairy farmer can pro-

duce wool and mutton at a profit.



With good dairy buildings it is an.

easy matter to provide open sheds for

the sheep, and in case of severe weathv

er during the lambing period space

can be provided in the dairy barn for

a few of the ewes to drop their lambs.

Of course, such an arrangement means

a lot of extra work for a-few days at

lambing time, but few of us can get

along so as to avoid some of these lit~

tle troubles in handling our cows and

other farm stock. In fact, if sheep are

worth keeping on our farms they are

worth this small amount of trouble for

a few days during the lambing season.

The main problem is to regulate the

number’of sheep kept onthe farm and.

plan the mating season so? to 1351914

Congress





HE Great _Lakes€t. Lawrence

Tide-water Congress, where more

than a thousand delegates and

guests assembled from every part of

the nation, came to an end in Detroit

last Saturday afternoon, and the mes-

sage that went out from the three

days of sessions is making itself felt

in all parts of the United States and

Canada. .

This is the greatest internal devel-

opment problem ever undertaken by

the American people and while section~

al and narrow-minded opposition may





temporarily delay the. project it can-





never defeat it; at least one is bound

to this conclusion after listening to

the data presented at this congress

and get the inspiration coming from

its sessions.



This project will mean much to the

agricultural development 01 the cen-

tral and western states. Upon wheat

there will be a saving of five cents per

bushel to the farmers and upon other

grains a saving in like proportion. It

will aid in stabilizing prices and will

afford an export market for many prod—

ucts of these states that under exist-

ing conditions cannot enter into em

port trade at all.



Gardner S. Williams, of Ann Arbor,

told the congress that the combined

navigation and power development of

the St. Lawrence River, as proposed, is

entirely feasible and imperative to fu-

ture industrial growth. The construc-

tion of the canal would lower the level

of the lakes, Mr. Williams said, but

this would not be serious. It might

require the deepening of some harbors.



Between $700,000,000 and $750,000,-

000 was Mr. Williams’ estimate of the

costcf the entire project, $300,000,000

for the construction of the canal from

the lakes to the sea and $400,000.000

or more to erect the power stations.

The sale of the power, he estimated,

,would net a fifteen per cent gross re-

turn on the $400,000,000 investment.



Professor W'illiams said the use of

power from the St. Lawrence River

.for industry and traction in the United

States portion of the circle named

would result in an annual saving at

once of 20,000,000 tons of coal.



Regarding construction Mr. Williams

said: “So long as the navigation is

small in volume and confined to light

draft boats, the plan adopted of con:

structing canals around the rapids is

the most economical, but in the case

of a. deep waterway commerce the can-

als must be eliminated as far as pos-

sible, both on account of the restrict-

ed speed of transit through them and

of the danger of collision entailed by

the narrow channels, and the full width

of the river must be utilized wherever

practicable. To accomplish this the

fall now extending over the forty-six

miles of rapids must be concentrated

at a few points, by the construction of

dams, creating slack water pools above

them, with locks at each dam to pass

the traffic up and down. The construe

tion of these dams, which are impera-

tive in the interest of navigation, af-

ford the ideal condition for the utiliza-

tion of the water power and the twd

interests, navigation and power, may

easily be brOught to work in harmony.”



Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin: de-

clared that this project will become

an accomplished 'fact as certain as the

return 0: the seasons. He continued:

“The west d mantis it! Not alone be-



' ' ”31'in benefit the in-

var, and the only wonder is that ,fi has

not already been accomplished. The

reasons new existing for it, however,

are so compelling in their force, that

it can no longer be delayed. I am in-

formed that the volume of transporta-

tion in the. United States has in six

years increased fortyseven per cent,

while the transportation facilities have

increased less than two per cent. The

primary cause at the breakdown of the

railroads when taken over by the gov-

ernment in 1917 was the railway con»-

gestion from Pittsburgh east, and es-

pecially at the port of New York. m

was the neck of the Mtle, and it be-

came completely choked.



“That condition was only partially

relieved during the war. It still exists

to a large degree. The only solution

is the early completion of this water-

way, or the building of vast terminals

at New York, and additional tracks be-

tween Chicago and New York, and the

expenditure of hundreds of millions at

dollars in railway equipment. The

cost of this alone would much more

than pay for the entire St. Lawrence

project, while the revenue from the St.

Lawrence route would not only pay

interest upon its cost, but also return

the principal within a few years.



“With this project completed, rail—

roads will be Saved hundreds of mil

lions of dollars in new expenditures

without suffering any loss of new rev-

enue to them. The power produced

fiom the completion of the project it

is estimated will save 25,000,000 tons

of coal annually, equal to more than

500,000 car-loads. If this relief could

be had immediately there would be

no danger of the people of the north—

west freezing n-ext winter. And be-

sides, the coal would be saved for fu-

ture use. Competition is going to be

very sharp in the future. In meeting

it, transportation cost will be one of

the most important factors, and the

diflerence between the cost of rail

transportation to New York and deep





water transportation to the ocean may





easily be the diner-me between sue-

cess and failure in export business so

far as infistties in the interior of the

continent are concerned. ‘



The necessity of carrying throw

this project at once to relieve the em-

barrassment at the present agricultural

and general industrial situation was

made clear in a letter to the congress

by Herbert Hoover. In part he said:

“There is absolutely no question that

requires so definitely a constructive

program as. our whole transportation

problem. Today both railways ad

waterways are far behind the produc—

tivity of our country on every hand.

Agricultural and general industry are

embarrassed by the Lack of transporta—

tion; the margins between the produc-

er and the consumer are extravagantly

widened by {album to secure proper

distribution. As our country grows in

its productivity, it will be found that

the outlet for the proper tanrsporta-

tion of bulk commodities ,will lie rath-

er by water than by rail between those

points where such transportation is

possible."



It was declared by Mr. Nelson that

sixty- five per cent of the wheat produc-

tion of the country is within the ship-

ping radius of the Great Lakes and

that seventy—five per cent of the wheat

production of Canada is within the

same radius.



This region, in the very heart of the

nation, tributary to the Great Lakes,

with but one-third of the nation’s area

and population, produces about one-

half to seven—eighths at the principal

staples, excluding cotton and tobacco.



It provides our surplus of wheat,

meats and dairy products, and leading

minerals. It produces seventy-five per

cent of the wheat, sixty-five per cent

of. the corn, and one hundred per cent

of the flax; eighty-five per cent of the

iron; eighty per cent of the copper;

seventy-four per cent of the zinc, and

forty-six per cent of the lead, and fifty





The Grasshopper Outbreak





Present Status Of T/zz's Per: [72 Michigan





HE summer of 1920 marked the

third year of the present grass-

hopper outbreak and the injury just

inflicted has been by far greater than

that at any time in the past, owing to

the constantly increasing proportion of

land in the North coming under cul-

tivation. The grasshoppers that are

responsible are the lesser migratory

locust (Melano-plus atlanis) and the

Pellucid lomst (Gamma pellucida),

together with smaller numbers of

other species. The writer had an op-

portunity to observe a similar eut—

break of the same species in Minne-

sota and Wisconsin in 1895 and 1896.

All of the northern part a: the lower

peninsula is at present involved and

parts of the upper peninsula. Detached

areas as far 501th as Kalamazoo are

asking for guidance in combating the

pest.



In most cases the destruction at the

hoppers has been accomplished by the

use of poisoned baits, since this plan

is entirely feasible and the baits are

easily applied over large areas of

rough country, and furthermore past

experience has shown that a dollar

goes farther in killing grasshoppers

by this method in Hichigan than when

more of molasses in sufficient water

There are other baits. ”more attrac-

tive, but also much more expensive, so

for this season the cheap, slightly

saline, bait was recommended because

it worked with entire satisfaction and

promised the most dead hoppers for

a dollar. Also it is less attractive to

creatures other than grasshoppers.



Naturally the present season’s out-

break Was anticipated and preparatory

measures were urged on County

Agents and others by our Extension

land



The cost of intensive production plus

the present high freight rates to the

open sea will make it impossible for

the farmers of this great area to com

pete with countries of virgin soils and

cheap labor, such as Russia and Argen-

tina. It is an economic axiom that the

total cost is the cost of production plus

the cost of transportation. .



The farmer receives only that

amount which is left from the world’s

market prices after deducting the cost

of transportation, including midd1e~

man’s profit. Any expedient that. will '

lower the cost of transportation and

cut out the rehandling with its large

costs, and cut down the percentages of

the commissions and profiteers will

leave the farmer a greater reward for

his labor, and the consumer a more

equitable standard of living.





Better for All.



Free access to the sea for the west-

ern and middle-western farmers would

give them a much larger portion of

the prices paid in the world’s market

for their products. The effect on the

manufacturer would be to lower his

ultimate cost in the world’s market.



By lowering prices he would increase

his sales and his production, which in

most industries result in lower cost of

production in his own factory. Thus a

great benefit would result, in the re—

ICHIGAN has a very vital prob-

lem before her in the form of





jher deforested or devastated lands.

‘ This problem is daily becoming more





aunts and its answer must be made

by the people of the State themselves

before very long.



The increasing prices of lumber

and all forest products, coupled with

the facts that manufacturers are

reaching far out to distant states for

their supplies, brings this distressing

situation squarely before each of us.





>One only has to buy a few feet pit

molding or a board or bunch of shins





gles to feel the truth of the situation

very keenly.



Another appalling condition pre—

sents itself to the student of business





affairs. Michigan has lost and is still

losing her lumber business enter-

prises. She has long ago given up





the most of her saw mills. This in

itself is not the most serious aspect.

of the situation because the labor of

these mills was largely a floating—un-

attached roving and “on the move”

kind of labor, but when Michigan

gives up without an effort to save

them, over seventy—five per cent of

her axe handle and other plants work-

ing directly from the log, she loses,

not only the industiies themselves,

but she loses a valuable class of labor

which might have been a permanent

home making, state building factor.

The. plant that exhausted its timber

supply usually moved to the South or

West and took its best labor with it.

Michigan has been short—sighted in

allowing these losses to go on during

the past years 'of its earlier history.



She has allowed the greatest tim-

ber wealth of any state to be har-

vested without a single thought to

the future crop of timber for those

once heavily wooded lands.



She has developed the lands most

fit for agriculture and has converted

them into fertile fields. She has dev-

astated the land not desired for agri-

culture by removing the timber in the

same reckless way that good land was

cleared.



She has followed the lumbering by

destructive fires that burned out the

plant food and humus until the best

lands were depleted and the poor

lands made worthless. All these

things have been allowed to go under

the eyes of all, while the few who

knew what was happening were told

over and over that “There is plenty

of timber for all.”



Devastation of land by fire and de-

structive lumbering has gone to the

limit and now the lands will continue

to lie idle and unproductive and the

timber shortage become more and

more acute.

Should Michigan's Idle Land Again Produce Trees Like These White and

these several millions of non-produc~

ing acres in Michigan must be made

up and carried by tax on the produc-

ing acres. And all the while we are

whirling blissfully along toward an

actual timber famine which it is yet

possible to very largely avoid.





F OR twenty-five years the nation

and this State have been giving

forestry a place and recognition until

today forestry is a recognized profes-

sion in the schools and colleges. Un-

less there was virtue in the work why

was State money given to support it?

Unless the State expected to use the

data obtained from investigatibns

made regarding methods and prac-

tices for re—establishing forests—why

has this work been state-supported all

these years?

training of more foresters in our

schools and colleges, but there is

enough knowledge and skill developed

already to begin the work of refores—

tration with safety and accuracy.



If the State of Michigan is training

her men for other states or for na-

tional work she is short—sighted indeed

——when she has so many millions of

acres of her own land upon which for-

ests may be made to grow again.





As a national issue we hear a great

deal about conservation of resources.

In fact, the nation has won a great

fight in its conservation campaign by

establishing 155 million acres of Na

tional Forests, which are being han—





dled skillfully and safely against the





time when private forest resources are

depleted or exhausted.



New York State, through her State

Conservation Commission, is annually

planting thousands of acres to trees.





The trees are produced, by State

Nurseries and are distributed free for

reforestration purposes.





HE WRITER had the opportunity



recently to visit large numbers

of these new forests of New York and

they present an inspiring picture.

While Michigan has been lying idle

and dormant for twenty years the Em-

pire State has gone through the picn-

eer stages of forestry and now is able

to show new forests—both planted

and natural—with trees that vary in

age from one year to twenty, and in

height from six inches to twenty-five

feet.



The familiar watch towers loom

from the tops of the loftiest peaks of

the Adirondacks and everywhere are

evidences of fire protection. In three

days of travel through the Adiron—

dacks only one small burn was found

——which is the more remarkable and

speaks for the splendid efficiency of

the system of protection, because dur-

ing the summer months the woods are

filled with the camper and fisher folk

from the cities. These forests, both

natural and planted, serve as one of

the greatest playgrounds in the world

for the tired city pe0ple who seek

health and rest there during their

brief vacation periods.



Nor will this item be a minor one in

the value and usefulness of Michigan

forests in years to come. Recreation

as the word suggests—is the rebuild—

ing or recreating of the body. This

is nowhere better accomplished than

in the open air and under the sun

and in the shape of the forest. Our

State is rapidly gaining in its repu—

tation for large cities. In these cities

the conditions of life are fast becom-

lng similar to those of New York.





In the years to come Detroit alone

will furnish its thousands of worn and

tired shop workers who must be re-

created in a few days of vacation each

year. Other cities in this and other

states will contribute other thousands

for the same purpose. Recreational

forests furnish just such opportuni-

ties for regaining health and vigor to

the individual. Properly supervised

and regulated they provide employ-

ment for many as well as incomes in

rentals and fees to the State.





OW LONG will it take to produce



forests? The time item in for-

estry for Michigan is important. Tim-

ber crops are long time crops. They

may be seeded or planted in one year

but the gowing crops stand on the

ground for fifty or one hundred years.

Some kinds of timber mature quickly.

These are now cheap timbers. Choice

“Every time a legislature defers the

adoption of a. definite forestry“ policy

Michigan, it has very clearly

brought the impending timber famine

two years beam to our children of

the next generation or two.



Like the national forestry problem,

Michigan’s situation is two phased.





[Private ownership of denuded or ’dev-





aatated land constitutes fully three-

quarters of the total area, while state

forests, parks and lately acquired tax

lands make up the balance of -the





grand total of between seven and ten





million acres. The income from this

great acreage is so low that it could

not of itself pay tax.





A certain part of the privately

owned cut over, burned over land is

held for purposes of speculation and

hope of special sale, but during the

interval is producing nothing more

valuable than a few of the self seed-

ing, quick growing trees and brush of

various kinds.





Such land should be brought into

production. Idle land begets sloth in

the state and poverty among its peo-

ple. A careless state cannot expect

its citizens to be careful, thrifty or

frugal. A land policy for Michigan

must corneas well as a forest policy.



Soils capable of producing annual

crops must be used to produce food





finished the next step must come

a state wrest pellcy. Fulfil

agricultural soil may be used to goodé





purpose as forest soil.





Better far to devote agricultural Soil ' '





to the growing of forest than new

mit it to lie idle or in the nom-

ducing ate.





ERE let me mention the fact that





recently our two farmer forest-

ers of the United States, Gifford

Pinchot and Henry S. Graves, have





each presented to the people a. pre—___





gram of forestry for the United

States. ,While these programs dlfler

materially as to the means by which

the states should work, still the an-

important fact is that both programs

aim for the same good, viz., an effort

to prevent or reduce suffering in a.

few years from an inevitable timber

famine.



Whether state or federal control

will predominate ultimately in the re-

forestrution _ of denuded lands of





Michigan, should make but little diff





ference at present. What we now

need in our State is an open mind for

the body politic, a deep-seated sense

of responsibility for the future wel-

fare of our own State, and loyalty

and backbone enough to demand the

1ight action now.

for the people. Soils not capable of

producing food crops must he seeded

and planted to trees to be used in

cannot sidestep the issue or avoid our

duty in this matter much longer.

When we borrow we acknowledge a

day of reckoning to come. We have

borrowed the forest resources of

Michigan until her power to lend will

soon be broken. Do we want to see

the finish along these lines?

of Animal Industry, United States by the Dairy Division.





Department of Agriculture, is doing





The Dairy 'Division is also working





some highly valuable research work with animals on an extensive scale.

and conducting investigations which At its Beltsville farm, a few miles out





are leading to practical results meas— in, Maryland,





ured in actual financial returns to the

dairymen and in the more complete

utilization and conservation of dairy

products. ,.



The Dairy Division’s Swiss cheese

investigations are well advanced and

are already worth many thousands of

dollars to the industry. In the past

the successful making of Swiss cheese

depended upon favorable atmospheric

conditions and other factors which

limited the period of cheese-making to

certain seasons of the year. It was

impossible to make this cheese in

winter or from milk held over from

one milking to another. In Wisconsin

and other states, private interests lost

many tens of Swiss cheese because of

their inability to overcome weather

conditions. And it was impossible to

get capital to finance an industry at-

tended with so much uncertainty. The

dairy specialists of the Bureau of Ani—

mal Industry sought to discover the

fundamental causes of this condition.

In their investigations they found that

by pasteuiizing the milk they could

destloy the bacteria it contained

which except under the most favorable

weather conditions acted adversely to

the successful production of Swiss

cheese, and replace it with bacteria

giving the true Swiss cheese flavor at

all times. They have thus enabled

the American cheese makers to pro-

duce Swiss cheese every day in the

year, even from milk held over Suns

day, and thereby have established a

permanent all-the-year—round industry.





The dairy investigators are new

working with condensed milk, seeking

to determine what oraginsms cause

the milk to “go bad,” as is the case

at times in the best managed dairies

and milk product plants.



During the war the demand came

for food conservation. The Depart-

ment of Agriculture took up the mat-

ter with every bureau. Every product

in which there was more or less waste

by the prevailing methods of handling

was carefully considered to see what

means could be devised for rec-over-

ing the food contents ordinarily wast-

ed. Skim milk was found to be one

of these waste products. Millions of

pounds of this product were annually

dumped into the sewers.



As a means of utilizing the skim

milk, the specialists settled on cottage

cheese. Men were sent to the fac-

tories to teach the creamery butter

makers how to make cottage cheese.

These men cooperated with the state

authorities,

selected because it was not difficult to

prepare. Then there was little com-

mercial cottage cheese being used and

it had no market. The Dairy Division

engaged forty women to go out and

tell the people of the food value of

this cheese.



In spite of the fact that this move

was criticized and the source of some

ridicule at first, the demand has in

creased marvelously and enormous

quantities of cottage cheese are 'now

sold throughout the country.



The division is now working on

other skim milk cheeses, on Italian

cheese, and an albumen cheese. One-

half of the milk now produced is made

fits better, and butter removes only

one-half the food content from the

mflk. The albmnen, casein and saw

it has several large

projects under way. One is a study of

the principles of animal breeding, with

the object in view of finding out if

possible how to develop a strain of

cattle that will be uniformly high pro-

ducers. The specialists are working

on the problem as to whether it is





bettei to line breed or cut cross. The *

common practice is to line breed. They :





have a definite project, new four years

under way, and which will take sev-





eral more years to complete, to estab-





lish definitely whether or not it is

more effective to use unrelated breed—

ers or line breed. Several colleges are

working in cooperation with the

division in this investigation, the de—

partment furnishing the bulls and se-

curing records of their achievements.



Why is it that one cow under nor-

mal conditions gives twice as much

milk as_another? Is it her breeding,

her feed or other cause?



Dr. Meigs at the Beltsville farm is





trying to find out the problem of milk ‘





secretion. He has found that cows





that are not fed grain during the dry '





period will be limited in their milk

production the following year. This

is due to insufficient mineral matter.

He has taken ordinary dairy cows,





somewhat run down in condition and”





production, and by feeding them on

such minerals as calcium and phos—





phorus, brought them back to produc-i

Considerable effect has ‘been‘

grain.





Dr. Meigs is also making progress;





with his investigations of different

kinds of. proteins in ordinary feeding

stuffs, to see which gives the best re-

sults in milk secretion. It has been

noted for some time that certain pro-





teins stimulate milk production more,

This is found due to the:





than others.

fact that they are more productive of

ameno acids than the others. As an





example, he finds a certain amount of '





ameno acid in the blood system. ,He

has analyzed the blood, and found that

the amount of ameno acid decreased

as much as 34 per cent in passing

through the glands of a cow in milk,

whereas with a dry cow there was no

change in ameno acids, showing that

in producing milk the ameno acid must

be drawn “on constantly, which indi-

cates that a method of determining

the ameno acids in different feeds

may enable the feeder to replenish

this element more quickly and more

economically with one plotein feed

than another.



These investigations are undoubt-

edly fundamental and of great value,

as they reach the basis of economic

feeding for milk production.



It is evident to all who have given

the subject attention that no state

could undertake a big breeding project

such as that in progress at Beltsville.

It is a national problem, and there is

no reason why one state should carry

on experiments equally beneficial to





all parts of the nation. And it is also '





apparent that Congress is justified in

appropriating funds for the study of

breeding of dairy animals, when you

remember that the dairy cattle are

street and that he would muse, lift his

hat, smile at her his compelling smile

and, forthwith proceed to bully her

into being friendly“ and forgiving——

browbeat her into admitting her

change of heart and glorying in it.



To this remarkable state of mind

had Shirley Sumner attained at the

time» old John Cardigan, leading his

last little trump in. a. vain hope that

it would enable him to take the ode!

trick in the huge game he had played

for fifty years, decided to sell his Val-

ley of the Giants.



Shortly after joining her uncle in

Sequoia, Shirley had learned from the

Colonel the history of old man Card.-

igan and his. Valley of the Giants, or

as the townspeople called. it, Cardi-

gan’s Redwoods. Theretore she was

familiar with its importance to the as

sets of the Laguna Grands Lumber

Company, since, while that quarter-

section remained the property of John

Cardigan, two thousand five- hundred

acres of splendid timber owned by the

former were rendered inaccessible.

Her uncle had explained to her that

ultimately this would mean the tying

up of some two million dollars, and in-

asmuch as the Colonel never figured

less thanfive per cent. return On any-

thing, he was in this instance facing

a net loss of one hundred thousand

dollars for each year obstinate John

Cardigan persisted in retaining that

quarter-Section.



“I’d gladly give- him. a hundred thou-

sand for that miserable little dab of

timber and let him keep a couple of

acres surrounding his wife’s grave, it

the old. fool would only listen to rea-

son,” the Colonel had complained bit-

terly to her. “I’ve offered him that

price a score of times, and he tells me

blandly the property isn't for sale.

ZWell, he who laughs last laughs host,

and if I can’t get that quarter-section

by paying more than ten times what

it’s worth in the open market, I'll get

it some way, if it. costs me a million.”

“How?” Shirley had queried at the





time.

The People Christ Admires





Our Weekly Sermon—By N. A. Mc Cum





HRIST has been pictured so



much as a. dreamer, a gentle



idealist with long hair and easy

manners, that it has become habitual

for thousands to think of him so.

They find it dificult to conceive of

him in any other way. But: the Christ

of the New Testament is not so. He

is in direct contact with life as no one

else has ever been. He knows men

as no other man has known them.

“He knew what was in man.” And

he knows the forces back of life, the

thoughts that fill our minds, the mo-

tives that lead us to do this or that;

thoughts and motives that we perhaps

would want no one else to know.

Hence, it is not hard to ascertain the

kind of people that He respects the

most. It comes out on page after

page, of the gospels.





N His parables he continually refers



to the man who acts. He loves

the man who decides on a. course, and

then follow; it up with action. Here

is the great story of the talents. The

first man was entrusted with ten tab

cuts, the next with five, the last with

one. Each was to use the money the

best he could, and increase it, the tal-

ents representing the ability of the

man. To make it more concrete, it

may be interesting to know that a

talent was about twelve hundred dol-

lars. The first two are persons of

enterprise and alertness. They invest

the money and get good returns. The

third is a pessimist. He complains

about his employer, and soldiers on

the job. He says he has a. hard man

to work for. The first two are highly

commended for their faithfulness, but

the last is denounced for his idleness.

Take the case of the widow who is

determined to have justice, and keeps

at it, until she gets it. (Luke 18::.)

Then, there is the friend at midnight

(Luke 11:8), who came and ham

mered till he got his loaves. 0r, there

are the virgins who looked ahead, and

bought extra oil, to he used in case of

emergency. (Matthew 25.) All these





instances turn on the use of the will. a





They represent energy, as a prime

quality in successfully entering and

living, the Kingdom life. But the per-

son of indecision, the one who does

not know his own mind, is at the

other end of the scale. He gets short

shrift. These people represent the

“hal£~thought—out-life,” as it has been

well called. They are the drifters,

the slackers.’This, Jesus pounds home

Moira seized Shirley’s hand and

kissed it impusively. “Very well,

then,” Shirley continue‘d. “That mat-

ter is adjusted, and now we’ll all be

happy. Here comes Thelma with

luncheon. Cheer up, dear, and re-

member that some time this after-

noon you’re going to see Mr. Bryce

smile again, and perhaps there Won’t

this time.”



When Moira returned to the office

of the Cardigan Redwood Lumber

Company, Shirley rang for her maid.

“Bring me my motor—coat and hat,

Thelma,” she ordered, “and telephone

for the limousine.” She seated her-

self before the mirror at her dressing-

0 UT it must not be supposed that

Christ is for the strong, only, the

favored and the few. He has a place

for the most unpromising, the weak,

the outbast, if they will only not up

to the limit of their strength and hr

telligence. The poor man who goes

up to the temple and beats his breast,

saying, “God be merciful to me a sin-

ner,” the widow who drops her mite

into the treasury, for all such he has

praise and promise. And when those

woman of the street, who came unin-

of Zaccheus, who had gotten his

wealth by grafting on the taxes, and

who promises to restore whatever is

not rightfully his. Action, decision,

energy in pursuing what one knows

to be the right, course, is the quality

that the Master or men rejoices to

find.





NE time a country preacher was =





holding some revival services. In

the congregation was a tanner whose

wife was a devoted member at - the

church. The farmer himself resolved

to turn over a new leaf, and become

a Christian. He went tothe pastor

and asked how he should begin. “Go

and act," laid the minister, “just as

you believe that, a Christian should

act.” The man went home, and the

next morning he asked the blessing

at the table. He had never done such

a thing before, but he did the best

he could. Then he asked one of the

children to bring the Bible. He read





a chapter, and knelt and tried to offer /





a prayer. It was awfully hard work.

but he got though as well as he could.

His wife was scandalized. “How can

you do this, when you are not a con-

verted man?” He replied, “The pas-

tor told me to do whatever I believed

Christian would do, and I always

believed that a Christian father ought

to have family worship.” But now

came the rub. He and his neighbor,

Mr. Brown, across the road, had not

spoken to each other for three years.

They had had techie over an auctiOn

sale. He went over to Mr. Brown’s,

found him auditing, and told him he

HEY SAY the best speech made





at the Republican cenvention in'





Chicago was made by a woman, Mrs.





Douglas Roosevelt Robinson, sister of '





the late Theodore Roosevelt. She sec-

onded Wood’s nomination. And, what

is more, the second best speech was

made by anothev woman, Alexandria

Carlysle Peiffer, of Boston, who sec-

onded Gov. Coolidge’s nomination.

Women are going in for politics, and

going in strong. And While you who

read this may have no yearning de-

sire to stand up in a huge Coliseum

and make a speech, at least you want

to vote and vote wisely.





And here is why you want to vote.

Five million, four hundred and eleven

thousand people in the United States

cannot read and write English. And

yet, millions of them can vote. Of

these, one million six hundred and

fifty thousand are foreign born, one

million, five hundred and thirty-four

thousand are native—born whites, and

the rest are colored. Many of these

illiterate citizens, who cannot read a

newspaper, write their own name, or

even read the ballot which they cast,

are voting for congressmen to make

laws to govern you, and a president

to enforce them. Perhaps someone

tells them how to vote wisely. But

can you afford to take a chance?





In these troubled times when so

much is at stake, not only in America

but in the world, every intelligent wo-

man should go to the polls. But be-

fore she does she owes it to herself,

her family and her country to educate

herself. The National League of WO-

,men Voters is doing its best to spread

education, and every community

should turn its women’s clubs into

clubs for the enlightenment of women

voters during these months which

precede election. The league has

mapped out a series of seven pro-

grams i'or mass meetings, which cover

every question to be raised. Every

county has its local orators who can

be secured to cover any subjectyour

community cannot handle. The pro-

grams follow:



-1.——Political party organizations, cau-

cuses conventions, committees.

The importance of the caucus.

Getting the women out.

What is the league of women

voters?

2.—-How the local (city or rural) gov-

ernment functions.

Problems my community faces.

The taxes I pay.





3.—The present situation in education





in our state and county.

GETTING EVEN. WITH SOCIAL



' GRAFTERS.





 





BY HILDA RICHMOND.





' ERY few neighborhoods are free

from men and women who graft

off their fellow beings in a social



way, and unblushingly enjoy the good

things and the good times provided

by the hard workers. At picnics, at

Grange suppers, at public sale dinners,

at church socials, at school reunions,

and all the other occasions where con-

genial, open-handed neighbors meet to

eat and visit when work is not too

pressing on the farm, the grafters are

in evidence. And though they are

coldly received occasionally when the

patience of the busy ladies runs low,

they carry (on their work of reducing

the high cost of living without notic—

ing the hints or slights. As a rule,

men are,more tolerant of the shirk

than- are women, because men think

a chicken more or less, or a few pies

given away amount to nothing, where-





as wOmen knew that it is hard work ‘





to get up good things, and most exas-

perating to see lazy families eating

them or carrying them home.



In many communities the grafters

are tolerated for the sake of their rela-

tives, or because nobody wants “to

have trouble with neighbors.” But in





\other places the women who are fair





and generous and hard working have

secretly banded themselves together

to head off the drones. One offender

who always went to a picnic with

tomatoes to slice in vinegar, when to-

matoes were rotting in gardens, and

who took her whole family to feast;

off the good chicken and pies and

cakes provided by others awoke to the

fact one fine day that all social affairs

in'her neighborhood seemed to come

on days when she and her family

were away from home. Their scheme

of reducing the high cost of living

also included much visiting, and she

observed that impromptu picnics and

parties were the rule that season, and

always the dates were set for the

time when she was away .with her

family. She tried staying at home

three weeks in succession but not a.

single social occasion came her way.

Neighbors “dropped in” on other

neighbors in little groups, but there

was nothing of a formal character that

she could be angry about, as the

women kept their lips closed and were

as bland and friendly as could be

When they met the grafter. She was

not a dull woman by any means, nor

was she content to be left out of

social affairs, so she accepted the sit-





uation with what grace she chuld mus- ~





ter, and when at last they gave her a

chance to get back into the social life

her basketwas as generously filled as

any. She was well able to do her part

and the women forced her to meet hen

social obligations.

OurBoys’ and Girls’Department’





 





OYS AND GIRLS, if you want to

B test yourself, eyesight and fac-

ulty of fixing things well in

your mind quickly and surely, sit down

after you have had a. trip in the auto

some day and write out a list of the

things you have seen on the way. How

many houses? How many different

kinds of trees? What varieties of

crops have you seen growing? Name

as many birds as you can that you

have seenQ Think of all the flowers

your eyes have rested on as you have

flitted through the country. In short,

put every possible thing you can down

on your sheet of paper. Then lay it

away, and next time youmake such a

trip, do the same thing over again,

write down the story and compare it

with that you first made. Keep/0n

adding to' this record from time to

time and see how your powers of see-

ing things will have increased.





Then try making a similar list of

everything you hear when you are on

the way across the country. Think of

the sounds that break on your ear—

the lowing of cows or calves, the

whinny of horses, the songs of birds,

the whispering of the winds through

the trees, the voices of men and wo-

men and boys and girls. Your little

story will surprise you when it has

all been Written down; but this faculty

of hearing things may be developed in

the same way that sight may. We

will after a while hear things that

were entirely shut out from us in the

beginning. .





And this testing of one’s ability of

seeing objects, hearing sounds and

otherwise trying our powers of per-

ception and observation will be of

greater value than we at first think.

Some men seem to go through life

without getting much that passes be-

fore their vision. They miss most of

the comforting sounds ~of this world.

They get little joy out of the many

beautiful things all around us in na-

ture. It may be they excuse them—

selves on the grounthat they are

too busy; but it is not right that any

of us should live in that way. I heard

a young farmer say: “This is such a

beautiful world if a fellow’ only had

time to straighten up and look at it.”

Something about that‘made me feel

bad. It was a confession that he was

losing one of the most valuable parts

of his life experience on the farm. It

will rest any man? no matter how

much he may have to do, just to stop

once in a while, lift his eyes fr0m his

work and look away off over the coun-





 





they are running right or not?





try. He will go back to his work'with

new vim and courage for this bit of a.

respite.



In another way this faculty of see-

ing things and hearing them may be

of value ,to the farmer boy or girl.

Take sound, for example. Can you

tell by the sound of the farm imple-

ments, engines and so 'on, whether

If your

ears are well trained you can detect

trouble in one of these implements

and may be able to stop it and pevent

serious damage. ,



Have you read about the delicate

instruments that were invented in the

time of the war for the purpose of.

listening out at sea for the sound of

the propellers of submarines? So keen

did the ears of some of the soldier





v





S€€iflg WOI‘th-Whllé? ThlflgS—By Unc/e'Ea’





use these faculties of which we have

been speaking. The 'boy who is quick

to hear and to respond; who sees

quickly the thing that is to be done

and springs to it; who anticipates. the

thought and wishes of others with

whom-he may for the time being be

working, is almost sure to advance in

position rapidly. For the world needs

young folks everywhere who are quick





,to think, eager to learn, and ready to





do whatever is given them to do. ,



And here is the best of it all. We

may discipline ourselves to shut out

the things that would tend to hurt us,

body, soul or mind. There is no bet-

ter determination than to do just that

very thing. It will make us happier,

better and far more successful men

and women.

boys‘become that with their ears to

the tubes of these instruments they

could tell whether a s‘ubmarine was

that, they knew from what direction

things growing out of the war, this

little submarine detector. ,

HOW I FELT DURING MY FIRST

AEROPLANE FLIGHT.





BY RUSSELL BENNETT.





HILE in the Service during the

recent world war I made the

acquaintance of an aviator. Returning

to civil live, we kept up the friendship

and because of this I was invited to

make a flight. My friend got into his





seat, and I followed with much miss '





giving. I was in and strapped tightly.

The pilot shouted “contact.” There

was a. roar. We were moving. Good-

bye sweet life, we were off the earth.

Bud, my chum, looked back at me and

pointed to the earth, but I Was afraid

of tipping the plane so did not look,

but I knew that so long as the engine

runs you are safe.





But suddenly .the engine stopped.

I looked quickly to earth to find a.

convenient hayv‘stack, but alas, we were

over nothing but tall buildings. ~How

relieved I was when he turned and

remarked “this was the life,” speed-

ed up his engine, quieted down, went,

or intended to go, into a loop but

failed and went into a tail ‘spin. My

sensations were terrible, to say the

least. A cemetery far below loomed

up. We finally straightened out and

then I was pressed back into my seat

violently and we did the loop not once

but twice. Then he shut off the mo-

tor. I had a sickening feeling as he

pointed the nose toward the earth and

dropped. I had visions of certain pe0~

ple drawing insurance from my, name,





but at once he flattened out. 'We glide;

ed down to earth; 'the- plane bumped,





nil-Pt risked“ 'm

‘and asking him how the engine is





acting.”

I cannot see where aviation is more





dangerous than railroading, because

roads and in the army and navy I

have been in seven railroad wrecks,

eleven flights in a plane, I have had

(Continued from page 123.)

table and dusted her adorable nose

with a powder-puff. "Mr. Smarty

Cardigan,” she murmured happily,

“you walked rough-shod over my

pride, didn’t you! Placed me under

an obligation I could never hope to

meet—and then ignored me—didn’t

you? Very well, old buy. We all have

our innings sooner or later, you know,

and I’m going to make a substantial

payment on that huge obligation as

sure. as my name is Shirley Sumner.

Then, some day when the sun is shin-

ing for you again, you’ll-come to me

and be very, very humble. You’re en-





'tireiy too independent, Mr. Cardigan,





but, oh, my dear, I do hope you will

not need so much money. I’ll be put

to my wit’s end to get it to you with-

out le‘;ting you know, because if your

affairs go to smash, you’ll be perfectly

intolerable. And yet you deserve it.

You’re such an idiot for not loving

Moira. She’s an angel, and I gravely

fear rm just an interfering, mischiev-

ouw. resentful little devil seeking ven-

geance on~r-—”





She paused suddenly. “No, I’ll not





do that either,” she soliloquized.

“I’ll keep it myself—for an invest-

men'. I’ll show Uncle Seth I’m a





business woman, after all. He has had

his fair chance at the Valley of the

Giants, after waiting years for it, and

now he has deliberately sacrificed that

chance to be mean and vindictive.

I’m air: id Uncle Seth isn‘t very spor-

ty—-~ufter what Bryce Cardigan did for

us Ulitl day the log-train ran away.

I’ll have to teach him not to hit an

old man when he’s down and begging

for mercy. I’ll buy the Valley but

keep my identity secret from every«

body; then, when Uncle Seth finds a

stranger in possession, he’ll have a fit,

and perhaps, before he recovers, he’ll

sell me all his Squaw Creek timber——

only he’ll never know I’m the buyer.

And when I control the outletfiwell,

I think that Squaw Creek timber-will

make an excellent investment if it’s

held for a few years. Shirley, my dear,

I’m pleased with you. Really, Inever

knew until now why men could be so

devoted to business. Won’t it be jolly

to step in between ‘Uncle Seih and

Bryce Cardigan, hold up my hand like

a. policeman, and say: ‘Stop it, boys.

No fighting, it you please. And if any—

body wantstoknow who’s boss around

here, start something.’ "





And Shirley laid her head upon the

dressing~table and laughed heartily.

She had suddenly bethonght herself

of Aesop’s fable of the lion and the

mouse!



When her uncle came “home that

night, Shirley observed that he was

preoccupied and disinclined to con-

versation.



“I noticed in this evening’s paper,”

she remarked presently, “that Mr.

Cardigan has sold his Valley of the

Giants. So you bought it, after all?”



“No such luck!” he almost barked.

“I’m an idiot. I should be placed in

charge of a keeper. Now, for heav-

.en’s sake, Shirley, don’t discuss that

timber with me, for if you do, I’ll go

plain, lunatic crazy. I've had a very

trying day.” \



“Poor Uncle 'Seth!”

sweetly. Her apparent





she purred

sympathy





soothed his raped soul. He contin-





lied:





anything in this world by hearing a.





see. Judge Moore to-morrow and offer

him a quick profit for his client.

That’s the game, you know.”



“I do hope the new owner exhibits

some common sense, Uncle clear,” she

replied, and turned back to the piano.

“But I greatly fear,” she added to

herself, “that the new owner is going

to prove a most obstinate creature and

frightfully hard to discover.“



True to his promise, the Colonel

called on Judge Moore bright and

early the following mofiiing. "Act

Three of that little business' drama

entitled ‘The Valley of the Giants,’

my dear Judge,” he announced pleas—

antly. “I play the lead in this act.

You remember me, I hope. I played a

bit in Act Two.”



“In so far as my information goes,

sir, you’ve been cut out of the cast in

Act Three. I don’t seem to find any

lines for you to speak.“



“One line, Judge, one little ‘line.

What profit does your client want on

that quarter—section?”



“That quarter—section is not in the

market, Colonel. When it is, I’ll send

for you, since you’re the only logical

prospect should my client decide to

sell. And remembering how you but—

ted in on politics in this county last

fall and provided a slush-fund to beat

me and place a crook on the Superior

Court bench, in order to give you an

edge in the many suits you are always

filing or having filed against you, I

rise to remark that you have about

ten split seconds in which to disap—

pear from my oilice. It you linger

longer, I‘ll start throwing paper-

weights.” And as if to emphasize his

remark: the Judges hand closed over

one of the articles in question.



The Colonel withdrew with what

dignity he could muster.

V 'Wuction, and economy Of producfi‘on





will eventually help the consumers,

then isn't Congress justified in spend-

ing money in the study or this prob-0

lem?



At the present time the funds ap-

propiated by the government for this

dairy cattle breeding project amounts

to $8,000. Imagine a corporation with

over two billion dollars invested in its

machinery limiting its appropriation

for promoting greater efficiency in

production to this small sum. It is

entirely too small for the work. In

explaining the work and its scope, Dr.

Charles W. Larson, of the Dairy

Division, says they do not want phe-

nomenal animals, but must have good

foundation stock. Funds are needed

to buy certain animals possessing re-

quirements essential to making the

experiments. It is also necessary to

keep the daughters of these animals

to see what they do, and they must

be kept on the government farm to

have uniform management. This

means that the herd will grow, that it

will be necessary to add new build-

ings, and purchase larger quantities of

feed.



Many persons do not understand

why the test farm isn’t self-support-

ing. Mr. Larson says if they were

permitted to sell their products in the

market they could show a profit, not

including the investigations. They

have furnished to the colleges bulls

that would readily sell for $4,000 to

$5,000. The milk goes to the labOra—

tories, and in experimental work with

dairy products, and all returns from

sales are turned back into the United

States Treasury. An appropriation of

$32,000 was made for an experiment

farm in Leuisiana, last year, and it

returned to the treasury from sales

$22,000. The Beltsville farm would

show a profit if they were permitted

to sell the milk and surplus animals,

in spite of the fact that animals are

kept in the iii-breeding experiments

which would be discarded by the prac-

tical dairyman.



While on a visit to the Beltsville

farm, I found in the large herd of

Holsteins, Guernseys and Jerseys sev-

eral animals of exceptionally high

type and production. Among the num-

ber was the Holstein cow. Calamity

Wayne Pauline 2nd, the champion but-

ter cow of Maryland, with a record of

22,547 pounds of milk and 855 pounds

butter fat. Duchess Calamity Wayne

is a fine young cow, milking 55 pounds

with first calf. Four daughters of

Piebe Laura Ollie Homstead King, a

famous Minnesota Holstein sire, one

of them Mercedes Laura Ollie, with a

record of, 20,000 pounds milk. 625

pounds fat, are in this herd. Little

Gladis of Hillside, daughter of Hill-

side Torono, a Hood Farm Jersey sire,

is one of four daughters of this bull

at Beltsville, making a. fine record.

There are several herd bulls of ex-

cellent quality, and sires of high pro-

ducing cows. The herd is under the

able ‘management of H. T. Converse,

formerly of New Hampshire.



In addition to the investigations al-

ready mentioned, comparative tests

are being made in milking three and

four times a day, in methods of stab-

ling, stanchi‘ons against box stalls, and

in calf feeding for the purpose of se-





.curing a home-made substitute for





whole milk to replace the whole milk

without the use of commercial calf

feeds. The BeltSville Farm specialists

hope to be able to give out some def-

inite results of these experiments at

an early date . E. E. R.

Large Profits from

Purebred Holstein Cattle





In the production of milk and butter

the larger the cow the larger the profit,

other things being equal. This princi-

ple has been established through the

investigations of government experts

and is generally recognized.



When a cow’s milking days are over,

The

big Holstein-Friesian, weighing any-

where from 1,000 to 1,800 lbs. with her

clean white fat well distributed through

her muscular system, proves a most

profitable dairy beef animal.

will eventually help the consumers.

then isn't Congress justified in spend

mg money in the study oi! this probe

lem?



At the present time the funds ap-

propiated by the government for this

dairy cattle breeding project amounts

to $8,000. Imagine a corporation with

”over two billion dollars invested in its

machinery limiting its appropriation

for promoting greater efficiency in

production to this small sum. It is

entirely too small for the work. In

explaining the work and its scope, Dr.

Charles W. Larson, of the Dairy

Division, says they do not want phe-

nomenal animals, but must have good

foundation stock. Funds are needed

to buy certain animals possessing re-

quirements essential to making the

experiments. It is also necessary to

keep the daughters of these animals

to see what they do, and they must

be kept on the government farm to

have uniform management. This

means that the herd will grow, that it

will be necessary to add new build-

ings, and purchase larger quantities of

feed.



Many persons do not understand

why the test farm isn’t self—support-

ing." Mr. Larson says if they were

permitted to sell their products in the

market they could show a profit, not

including the investigations. They

have furnished to the colleges bulls

that would readily sell for $4,000 to

$5,000. The milk goes to the labOra—

tories, and in experimental work with

dairy products, and all returns from

sales are turned back into the United

States Treasury. An appropriation of

$32,000 was made for an experiment

farm in LOuisiana, last year, and it

returned to the treasury from sales

$22,000. The Beltsville farm would

show a profit if they were permitted

to sell the milk and surplus animals,

in spite of the fact that animals are

kept in the in-breeding experiments

which would be discarded by the prac-

tical dairyman.



While on a visit to the Beltsville

farm, I found in the large herd of

Holsteins, Guernseys and Jerseys sev-

eral animals of exceptionally high

type and production. Among the num-

ber was the Holstein cow, Calamity

Wayne Pauline 2nd, the champion but-

ter cow of Maryland, with a record of

22,547 pounds of milk and 855 pounds

butter fat. Duchess Calamity Wayne

is a fine young cow, milking 55 pounds

with first calf. Four daughters of

Piebe Laura Ollie Homstead King, a.

famous Minnesota Holstein sire, one

of them Mercedes Laura Ollie, with a

record of. 20,000 pounds milk, 625

pounds fat, are in this herd. Little

emails of Hillside, daughter of Hill-

side Torono, a. Hood Farm Jersey sire,1

is one of four daughters of this bull

at Beltsville, making a fine record.

There are several herd bulls of ex-

cellent quality, and sires of high pro-

ducing cows. The herd is under the

able ‘management of H. T. Converse,

formerly of New Hampshire.



In addition to the investigations al-

ready mentioned, comparative tests

are being made in milking three and

four times a day, in methods of stab-

ling, stanchi‘ons against box stalls, and

in calf feeding for the purpose of se-





,curing a home-made substitute for





whole milk to replace the whole milk

without the, use oi? commercial calf

feeds. The Beltsv-ille Farm specialists

hope to be able to give out some do!-

inite results of these experiments at

linearly-dots. ' E. E. R.

The market reports in this edition

were revised and corrected on Wed-

nesday afternoon, July 28. .

Cash No. 1 white . 12.78

Cash No. 1 mixed . . . . . . . 2.78





CORN .





Corn prices are finding lower levels

and there is not much evidence of a

return of strength. On the local mar-

ket quotations are:



Cash No. 2 mixed ....... $1.55

Cash No. 2 yellow . ..... 1.60





OATS

Oat prices are on the down grade

and there is no indication of an imme—

diate recovery. On the local market

quotations are:





 





Cash No. 2 white ........... 90



Cash N0. 3 white ........... 89



Cash No. 4 white ....... . . . .88

have not changed. At Detroit prime

red clover is quoted at $24.25; alsike

$23.50; timothy $5.50 per bushel.

Market





Michigan is an average one in a few-





localities, but on the whole is light.

The hay crop is near fifty per cent

above that out last season. . The bean

crop never looked better than at the

present, according to reports made to

elevators. The acreage in this section

is about 20 per cent less than last

year. There has been a large market-

ing of poultry during the week, espe-

cially broilers. Dealers pay growers

28@35c per pound alive, according to

weight.





 





NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.





 





Butter.—The outstanding feature of

the butter market this week is the

absorption of the 44,392 casks of Dan-

ish butter and the 10,854 casks of H01-

land butter, which arrived one week

ago, but which has been unloaded

throughout the week. Trading has

been fairly active at times during the

week but it has been less spontaneous

than during the last few weeks. It is

fully expected that further price de—

clines may develop during the next few

days but without doubt the market will

recover as soon as the foreign butter

has all been absorbed. Quotations to-

day are as follows: Extras 560; high-

er scoring than extras 561/_),@57c;

firsts (90—91 score) 54@551/zc; firsts

(88-89 score) 52((3531/20; seconds 49

@51c.



Eggs.——The tendency of the market

has been to strengthen and prices

have advanced slightly. Warehouse re-

ports show that holdings have not in-

creased any during the week; in fact,

there has been a slight decrease. Quo-

tations are: Firsts 47@500; extra

firsts 51@530; extras 54@55c.



Poultry—The receipts of' poultry

have been fairly heavy during the

week, but demand has been out be-

cause Orthodox Hebrews have abstain-

ed from eating any meat during the

week. As a result prices have declin-





ed somewhat. Established quotations

are: Fowls 36c; broilers 44@50c; old





roosters 23c; turkeys 350; ducks 25c;

geese 22@25c.

GRASSHOPPER OUTBREAK.





 





(Continued from page 116).

'made it impossible to get enough to





go around, and even when a few car-

loads could be found, the freight ser-

vice was so uncertain that long del‘ays

resulted.



The State and County Farm Bureau

organizations spent considerable ef-

fort in locating and arranging for sup-

plies of arsenic and of molasses. Aid

was also given by Mr. James Bice of

the Public Utilities Commission. As a

result of all these efforts a number of

carloads were gotten into the most

heavily infested districts in the north

but the supply was inadequate in spite

of all that could be done.



Now, in regard to next year’s pros—

pects—it seems likely that certain

parts, here and there at least, will-wit-

ness an improvement in the situation.

This hope is based on the appearance,

WOOL





It is now so long since the markets

broke that some confidence should be

taken from the very fact that panicky

conditions have not arrived. There has

neverrbeen such a market as the pres-

ent one, but-confidence is held that a

change for the better will come, for

the conditions are not likely to get any

worse so long as the bulk of the clip is

not rushed on the market.





GRAND RAPIDS





The first of the new wheat crop was

marketed this week, testing 62 pounds

to the bushel. The opening price was

$2.40 for No. 1 red and $2.38 for‘No. 1

white.‘ The Red Rock grown in Grand

River Valley contains a greater

amount of gluten than that raised in

Red River Valley. New rye was

brought to market~ this week, selling

at $1.60 per bushel. The crop in west-

ern Michigan is an excellent one in

marked the beginning of a decline in‘

vest-mite also furnish some lesser aid.

These mites appear as red kernels at-

tached to the grasshoppers usually .at,

the bases of the wings. . They do not.





kill their hosts outright but sap their





vitality somewhat.





The writer does not expect a very,





marked cessation of the trouble in

1921, at any rate not a general abate-

ment, but certain areas not determin-

able at this time, will probably be

marked by fewer grasshoppers. Wet

weather is also unfavorable to the

hoppers. The present outlook seems

to promise a continuance of the trou-

ble which should induce the county

boards of Supervisors to arrange for

adequate supplies of white arsenic

during the Winter when the price is at

its lowest point, and furthermore it

would seem that the State would be

justified in enacting certain legislation

looking .to the destruction of grass-

hoppers on‘wild land, both that held

by the public, and by private owners.



White arsenic is, of course, not suit-

able for ordinary spraying operations

without further preparation but when

combined with sal-soda and later with

lime it. can be used for spraying pota-

toes. This mixture, known as Kedzie

mixture, is the cheapest, safe, quick-

acting spray for potatoes known,——a.

spray that was quite generally used





with or without bordeaux in earlier,-





days. This is mentioned in View of

the fact that any over-supply that

might be taken on as insurance

against the grasshoppers could be

utilized in the finest potato growing

region of the United States.

EREWITH are the last instruc-



tions and some of the details of

the “Michigan Farmer’s Automobile

Tour”.to leekhaw and the Soo. For

the east pike the tourists should leave

home on m lemon. August 9.

and drive to Buy City in time to reach

the Board of Commons building at

5:30 h the afternoon, fast time. The

Board of Commerce has planned to





entertain the east pike tourists at din-‘





nor that evening. At that time T. F.

'Marston will take charge of the party

and issue the car pennants, badges,

windshield records, which will also

have specter marking the cor mun-





, her liar the entire tour. Mr. Manson’s





car will be No. 1 and will also be the

pilot car. We have also planned to

have miniature flags attached to each

center of each car. front and rear, so

the tourists cars can be easily distin-

guished at some distance. This will

be of advantage, especially when some

other our cats in or tries to pass the

whole caravan on the road.



After dinner the east pikers willbe

the guests of some organization at

Wenonah Beach, Where everyone will

have an opportunity to take the first

dip in the waters of Lake Huron.

Monday night camp is to be at We-

nonah Beach, and breakfast will prob

ably be secured there Tuesday morn-

ing.



The dance at East Tawas is to be

the old-fashioned kind and will assur-

edly be an interesting feature.



The west pikers start from Battle

Creek and elsewhere on Sunday, Au-

gust 8, and meet at Ramona Park,

Reed’s Lake, Grand Rapids, in good

season to camp for the night and get

some grub for the department of the

interior.



Early Monday morning the tourists

will break camp and start for Man-

istee by way of Spar-ta, Newaygo.

Fremont and Shelby. We have been

informed by the city ofidals, cham-

bers of commerce, boards of educaan

and county fair associations, that the

west pikers are to be entertained in

fine shape at Manistee, Traverse City

and Harbor Springs. At Traverse

City, Roy T. Zimmerman, secretary of





' the Northwestern Michigan Shorthorn





Breeders’ Association, writes that the

members have organized and will en-

terta‘mus onthetatr groundonWed—

nesdoy, August 11, with a fine bar-

bFecue.



At Harbor Springs we will ' find

hundreds or friends waiting for us

even More we reach the outer gate.

Friday forenoon will be celebrated

with another fine program at our

camp on the bluff around the high

school building. .



And then when we arrive at Mack-

inaw City Friday evening, August 13,

our pilots. Hugh Gray and Frank Mar—

ston, will meet in their war paint, and

the meal will be on with the greatest

aggregation of. touring cars with sleep-

ing outfits galore and all sorts ofways

admiring crowd.

CONDITIONS in THE HOG TRADE.





 





PPARENTLY, there is nothing in



the present situation which is

otherwise than encouraging for owners

of healthy, thrifty young hogs, and

obviously this is realized by most own-

ers, as the receipts fall off materially

after every considerable decline in

prices. That the last crop of hogs was

an extremely short one is well indi-

cated by the great falling off in the

movement to market, the combined

receipts in the seven leading western

packing points for the year to date

amounting to only 14,004,000 hogs,

comparing with 16,112,000 for the cor—

responding period last year, and 14,-

819,000 two years ago. Hogs may look





low in prices when it is recalled that

sales were made a year ago at $19.50





to $22.50 per 100 pounds, but turning

back to 1915 it: is seen that prices





' ruled at $6.50 to $7.50. Because of the





marked increase in the proportion of

heavy grassy sows, the spread in

prices has become extremely wide,

with prime light butcher hogs selling

the highest and bringing about 45

cents more than the best heavy butch-

ers.



The unusually liberal purchases

made in the Chicago market by east-

ern shippers greatly assist in the mak-

ing of high prices, and the large do-

mestic consumption of fresh and

cured hog products is another bullish

factor in the market all the time.

Provisions are still selling much high—

er than in years before the late war

with Germany, but large declines have

taken place in recent months, and

within a short time» sales have been

made of pork as low as $26.60 a bar-

rel, comparing with $54.40 a year ago,

and there have been similar reductions

‘in prices for lard and short ribs on

the Chicago Board of Trade. The for-

eign demand has increased materially

in recent months, but exports vary a

good deal from week to week. During

a recent week North American exports

included 10,472,000 pounds of lard,

comparing with 8,302,000 pounds a.

week earlier and with 11,119,000

pounds for the corresponding week

last year. During the same week the

exports of cured hog meats aggre-

gated 9,700,000 pounds, comparing

with 24,609,000 pounds a Week earlier

and with 44,440,000 pounds a year ago.





THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.





 





XTREMELY few fat heavy cattle



suffice to meet the requirements

of the Chicago market at this time,

the demand running mainly on fat

light cattle, especially yearlings, which

sell at the highest prices. There has

been a much smaller marketing of

cattle in recent days than a year ago,

and grass lots have comprised a large

percentage of the daily offerings, these

selling slowly as a general rule. Pres—

ent prices are much higher than be—

fore the war, but much lower than in

recent years. Recent sales of beef

steers were made at a range ofi $10.50

to $17, aside from a few inferior little

canning steers, while one year ago

steers sold at $18.15 for the best, two

years ago at $18.30, three years ago

at $14.05, four years ago at $10.90, five

years ago at $10.35, and twelve years

ago'at $7.85. Of course, in making

these comparisons it should be remem—

bered that corn sells at far higher

prices than. in former years, while

farm" labor has advanced enormously

everywhere. Killers usually want good

cows and heifers that will make mod-

erate? priced beef, but they are slow in

buying ordinary steers. Lightweight

{veal calves are good sellers nearly all

the time.
