CURRENT COMMENT

HERE is probably
nothing that has

T133. promoted the interest
Off-’0'“, in p u r e b re d dairy
Test stock so much as ofﬁ-

cial testing as con-
ducted by the four leading dairy breed
associations. These tests have brought
the good cows of the breeds to the
front, and provided means whereby the
scrub cow with a pedigree could be
wooded out. While breeders of dairy
cattle made great progress before they
had official records to guide them in
selecting and mating their animals,
much of the good work consisted in
developing an improved type rather
than increasing pioduction at the pail.
Breeders of today, however, must cen-

‘ ter their efforts upon breeding high-

producing cows. With ofﬁcial records

1 as a guide the problem of breeding

dairy cattle is reduced to almost a
mathematical science. It is interest-
ing to note that ofﬁcial testing has
proved the master-key in unlocking the
mysterious forces of heredity and put-
ting them to work for mankind.

As purebred dairy cattle increase in
numbers two forces are constantly bat-
tling for supremacy—«one of improve-
ment, the other of deterioration; the
former in the hands of skillful breed—
ers, the later in the hands of unskillful
breeders. in the conﬂict between
these contending forces the gulf is
constantly widening until on the one
hand some of the animals of the breed
are no better than scrub cattle. while
the other forces are progressing along
well deﬁned lines. As the herd is be-
ing developed it is important that some
kind of milk and butter-fat records be
kept in order that the owner may fos-
ter and encourage the forces he de-
sires to perpetuate in the easiest and
most natuial way. Such progress is
possible in no other way than through
the use of accurate records Ofﬁcial
testing furnishes accurate records in
such-reliable form that the new breed-
er as well as the skillful moulder of
animal form and function may safely
use them as a basis of selection in pur-
chasing new animals for his herd, and
in conducting his breeding operations
from year to year.

The breeder who neglects ofﬁcial
testing ﬁnds it especially hard to dis—
pose of his surplus bulls at remunera—
tire prices, and often, far too often,
he appears willing to sacriﬂconhls prot-

\ its from that source while he in rear-

ing his young heifers to add to his
hold. Besides, he has been lectured
to. Over and over again, by dairy ex-
ports and some of his breed publica-
ﬁlms that Myers of purebred stock
motor animals from the herds oI men

   
the breeding world Of course, well-
known breeders have an advantage in
selling bull calves at advanced prices.
There never has been a time, how-
ever, when the breeder who made no
violent outcrosses, developed his best
heifers and made good milk and but-
ter- fat records with them, could not
ﬁnd a ready sale for all the really good
bull calves he could produce. Breed-
ing along approved lines and testmg
all of the good females for ofﬁcial rec-
ords is, after all, the only logical
course to pursue in building up a herd
of purebred dairy cattle. It frequently
happens that some cow of the breed
a near relative of some of the animals
in the new breedei’ s herd, makes a
great record. Then, if he has conduct-

ed his breeding along lines similar to,

those practiced by other good breeders
and made a few credible ofﬁcial rec-
ords, he is in a position to capitalize
on the 1ecords made by the old estab.
lished breeder.

Failure to recognize the value of oﬂl~
cial testing as a complement to the
business of breeding and selling regis-
tered dairy cattle is proving a stumb-
ling block to more than one man’s pro-
gress. When prospective buyers of
breeding stock begin to inquire about
the ofﬁcial records of the dams and
granddams of this and that animal he
offers for sale. he awakens to a reali-
zation of the fact that it is impossible
to cash in on individuality and pedi-
glee unsuppoxted by ofﬁcial records.
Such records not only add to the value
of the cow as a breeding proposition,
but they add to the value of all the
calves she has ever produced and all
of her descendants for several gener-
ations. It is discouraging, indeed, for
one to inuest good money in foundation
stock, spend years of painstaking work
breeding and rearing a herd of high-
producing cows, only to discover that

at the very time when success should-

be within his reach that buyers shun
his animals because there me one or
two bad breaks in their line of offi-
cially tested dams. And this is pre-
cisely what happens to all new breed-
ers who neglect to put their cows on
ofﬁcial test. -

HE slow forward
march of civiliza-

ExteNd’ng tion has been charac-
the Go’den terized by the doing
Rule of one lesson at a

. time. No argument is
needed to convince that this is the age
of the social problem. There is not
only given to this generation the mis-
sion of dealing with the social question
but it has to a very large degree a.
distinct consciousness of the responsi-
bility. In spite of all the extraordinary
achievements of the immediate dec-
ades—the mighty combination of poli—
tical forces, miraculous scientiﬁc dis-
coveries and transforming business
methods, etc., there is in the heart of
this present time a burning sense of
social maladjustment—a consciousness
that our economic development is
somewhat out of line with our social
ideals of liberty and equality.

Fortunately there never was a time
when so many people were stirred to
action by a call to social service as is
seen today. The great interchurch
world movement has met with a most
hearty response from laymen and
churchmen everywhere: our literature
is overflowing with the desire to serve;
the farmers and laboring classes are
eagerly scanning pages and holding
conferences to discover guidance
through the maze of pcrplexitles; class
organization on an unprecedented
scale. is consolidating the forces of
those who have heretofore fought for
rights or advantages single-handed;
legislation that practically revolution-
izes the earlier ideas at government is
now offered freely and at this moment
there are millions of citizens who been

who have an established reputation in'

      
ready to s‘ubordinate’other problems. to
those growing out of social life. ' {

If the passing and coming génerav

tions are to be faithful to their respon-
sibilities in dealing with this stupen-
dous issue, they must act intelligently
and with discretion. To do this amidst
the present perplexing conditions is
not an easy_ task. We venture, how-
ever, that the old enemy of social pros
gress—selﬂshness——must again be put
dowmand his present strangle hold-on
class relations be loosened. What the
golden rule has done to bring men of
the same class together and to develop
the spirit of cooperation among those
‘who are employed at the same kind of
service, the socializtation of that rule
might do in overcoming the mail-adjust-
ment of classes. There is in the idea.
of extending this rule to include class-
es food, at least, for the thoughtful
consideration of all who are seeking to
place busmess and society on a higher
level.

HILE the antici-

- pated economic
COOpergaon advantage coming to
an

the individual and to
Manhood the community

through cooperative
effort furnishes the great motive for
developing this movement so rapidly,
the beneﬁts derived from cooperatives
do not stop with economic ends. Pros-
perity following the successful estab-
lishment of one of these institutions
in any community constitutes merely
the foundation for the further progress
of the neighborhood and those con—
cerned. '

The forces which operate to develop
an intelligent and loyal citizenship in
a democracy, work in a similar manner
to develop the members of a real coop-
erative enterprise. Here the members
have 'a direct privilege bound up with
a real responsibility, the same that a
citizen of a state has in his representa-
tive government. Failure on the part
of the members to understand or to be-
lieve in the principles of this move-
ment is given as the greatest obstacle
to its rapid spread over the state and
nation. The most able managers of
cooperatives are unable to make the
organizations successful even in an
economic way, without the mutual as-
sistance of the members. And, on the
other hand, those who aid most in
making their association successful are
not only the most intelligent and best
informed members, but they also have
breadth of vision, are steadfast in
their purpose, and conﬁdent that the
great cause of cooperation will ulti
mately win. These men are so anx-
ious to bring victory that they are
willing to labor and sacriﬁce to gain
the end. From these observations of
‘students who have made a careful
study of the effect of cooperative or-
ganizations on individuals and on the
community life, it is apparent that suc—
cessful cooperatives furnish the com~
munities in which they are located a
wonderful school for the development
of character of a high order.

Question problems is the ques—

tion of soil fertility.
It is at once fundamental and ever-
prescnt. No person can call himself
a farmer until he reaches the point
where he appreciates the need, of main-
taining in the soil the necessary plaiit
food elements in such state that the
plants may appropriate them to the
utmost. Because these thing are true.

questibn.

the supcessful breeding of live tsock.

.It is impossible to produce the highest
class of stock on farms that lack in '

the essential elements of fertility. Kon-

tuck‘y has justly become famous ; on 1

account of her splendid horses. These

she can produce becausethe land is
naturally rich in lime, which element ‘
is essential in raising large strong-bon- -

ed animals.

-Every person who has enjoyed a few .
years’ experience at stock raising and .

farming has had the value of stable

manure as a fertilizer thoroughly'imﬁ

pressed upon his mind. The larger and

healthier plants and the increased,

yield of grain resulting from the use

of manure have been too apparent to ~

allow for questioning. But the merits

of artiﬁcial fertilizers have not been _
observed so generally. Frequently the '

effect of artiﬁcial fertilizer cannot be
accurately judged by the eye. A dif-
ference of twenty per cent in the yield
of a crop will often be imperceptible.
But that the regults from the proper
use of these commercial soil foods are
just as certain as from the use of the
stable manure, is testiﬁed to by the
careful work of every important gov—
ernment experiment station and this
testimony is supplemented by the prac-
tical experiences of thousands of pro.
gressive farmers.

And during these later years men

have learned more accurately the 'ex- ‘

act part these fertilizers have in the
great program of maintaining fertility.
Less is heard about substituting and
more about supplementing the supply
of farm manure with the commercial
goods. In fact. the great bulk of the
work along this line goes to show that
the soil delights in a mixed diet, that

the best and, it now appears, the only -

way to permanently maintain or in-

crease the fertility of our farms is' by *

the judicious use of commercial fertil-
izers in conjunction with the use of
manures, the growing of legumes and
the generous application of lime.

GREAT winner of battles.” That

was the description I had of the

man; and the search for him

'took me to the top story of a gray

ofﬁce building in Washington. I want-
ed to see this warrior—this man who
fought the battles of the farm boy and
farm girl, the farm woman, and the
Quite naturally, I ex-
pected to ﬁnd a typical ﬁghter, a man

hlean Of frame and strong'of jaw; a

man of steely eye and brief, curt ad-
dress. But when a door opened’ and
I stepped into the ofﬁce of Dr. A. C.
True, Director of the States Relations
Service, United States Department of
Agriculture, I met a man who had none
of those marks which denote the war-
perhaps, the eyes,
which were steady and direct in their
gaze. The man looked more like a
scholar than a ﬁghter; yet I had an-

5 other’s word for it that he was a win-

her of battles.

But was that all that my informant
had said on the subject?
Wasn’t there another phase?
Oh, yes! “He wins his bat-
‘tles without ﬁghting them!”
That was the rest of the sen—
tence; the qualifying state-
ment that helped me to rec-
oncile this scholarly appear-
ing man with his reputation
of- accomplishment. “Win-
ning~ battles without ﬁghting
them!” Strategy instead of
force of arms. Didn’t a great
general say that more bat~
tles are won by marching
than ﬁghting? Haven’t his-
tory’s greatest soldiers been
scholarly men? I began to
understand.

Dr. True is not a ﬁghter
in the sense of plunging
against obstacles; rather he
is a diplomat and wins his
point by clearing away the
trouble-making barriers." He
has great faith in common
Counsel, mutual understand-
ing, and broad-minded coop-
eration. In the days when
(Dr. True was beginning the
task that was to be his life
work he was often met by
strong, sincere opposition
from men or from organiza—
tions. When this occurred, did he rave
and rant and argue and antagonize?
Indeed he did not! He gave his op-
ponent credit for a sincerity equaling
his own, and then set about to ﬁnd

 
why their “minds did not meet,” as the

lawyers would put it. Nine times out
of ten he found the obstacle, nine
times out of ten it was only the con-
fusion of tw0 minds striving for the
same worthy goal, but approaching
along different paths, and nine times
out of ten he succeeded in clearing the
misunderstanding away and. enlisting

' the support of his one-time opponent in
the great cause for which he worked—‘

the elevation of agriculture to its true
rank as a profession, and the enlisting
of effective cooperation of all worthy
forces to this end. -

Dr. True was educated at Wesleyan
University, graduatingfrom that insti—
He attended Harvard
University from 1882'to 188_4. His ed-
ucation was classical and scientiﬁc,
though it proved to be admirably adapt

left college; was that of teaching, but
he was soon called to Washington to
organize and edit the Experiment Sta-
tion Record, which is now recognized
as the most complete review of scien-
tiﬁc investigation in agriculture in the
world. This was in 1889, and from that
time on Dr. True’s effort was directed
toward organizing‘and establishing ag-
ricultural research on a sound scien-
tiﬁc basis, putting agricultural sub—

.jects in pedagogical form—shaping the

science of agriculture so that it could
be more effectively taught in American
colleges and schools—and making ag-
riculture a recognized, honored, and
useful profession.

“Judge a carpenter by his chips,” is
a homely way of stating the great
truth that a man must be judged by
the work he has done. Dr. True has
heaped his bench with the right sort

sustaining by the work of the service.

It has made important contributions
to the scientiﬁc and practical knowl—
edege of the economical and efﬁcient
use of the products of agriculture and
to the subject of home economics in
general through its investigations re-
lating to foods, d‘iet, clothing, and
household equipment, w01k, and man-
agement.

To the inquiring person Dr. True will
probably emphasize especially the con-
tribution of the‘ States Relation Ser-
vice toward making the science of ag-
riculture an accepted course in Ameri-
can educational institutions, but you
will ﬁnd many men high up in farming
affairs who hold this accomplishment
second to that of organizing and de-
veloping experiment station work un—
der the Hatch and Adams Acts, or the
cooperative extension work in agricul—

agents.” The department aims to have
one each of these useful citizens in
every county in the United States. At
present, the score shows one-third of
the total number of counties supplied
with both, one-third with men agents
only, and one-third with none at all.
The battle is not yet won—there is
still much to be done in the way of
organizing the cooperative forces
throughout the country, but training
men and women for the very exacting
work of the profession, but the doctor
is steadily scoring his quiet victories,
and he will win for his idea, if the-re
is any virtue in straight thinking,
clear vision, and unwavering faith in
the cause he advocates.

Dr. True’s relaxations and recrea-l

tions are what one might suppose them
to be—travel, trout ﬁshing, and botan-
izing. He loves to spend his vacations
in the beautiful Champlain country of
Vermont, where he ﬁnds ample op-
portunity to indulge in his favorite

pastimes. His Vermont neigh~

to Potterville, Grand Ledge, Mulliken

side of the county through Vermont-
ville to Bellevue, then over to Olivet
and back to Charlotte; and visiting
many farms within a radius of six

but emphasize the good qualities of
the county in terms of productive
farms, substantial buildings, good live
stock and the many cooperative. or—
ganizations which have earned the re-
spect of the farmers by their close at-
tention to business.

Luxuriant ﬁelds of alfalfa, clover,
corn and small grains render the dairy
industry capable of rapid expansion.
Hand in hand with dairying goes beef,
pork, mutton and wool production. The
only limit to dairy production is the
scarcity of farm help; while the limit
to beef, pork, mutton and wool pro-
duction is the lack of suitable land for
grazing. In a county with so little
cheap land farmers ﬁnd it too expen-
sive to feed beef cattle, hogs and sheep
on a year-round basis. This, in a large
measure, explains why purchased cat-
tle and sheep are depended on to con-
sume the home-grown feeds. The feed-

of hogs, when conducted on a mod-

te scale, can be made to yield fair
returns, but it is doubtful if it can be
made highly profitable or to ﬁt in with
modern ideas of soil management. Not
that the hogs remove more plant food
from the feed they consume, but be-
cause it is difﬁcult to get the resulting
manure to the ﬁelds without heavy
losses of fertilizing elements. The lead-
ing crops of the county are corn,
rye, sugar beets, apples, truck crops,
beans, alfalfa, mixed hay, wheat, oats,
and small fruits. This year’s acreage
of beans and sugar beets is somewhat
reduced as a result of unsatisfactory
prices and the scarcity of competent
farm help.

The farmers of Eaton county are
well organized for business. The Farm
Bureau has more than ﬁfteen hundred
members. The ofﬁcers and members
of the executive committee are alive
to the needs of the farmer and deter-
mined to make the organization one of

' the best in the state.

N discussing some of the phases of

the organization work County Agent
Decker said: “The Grange and other
farm organizations have helped us put
across our program. Some of our best
leaders were members of these farm-
ers’ organizations and their under-
standing of organization work made .it
easier to secure results in several com«
munities. Those who underestimate
the power of the Grange for good
speak without knowledge of the many
things it has accomplished during the
past ﬁfty years. The very fact that it
has been holding meetings from week
to week and discussing current tapics
of the day more than any other group
of farmers has enabled its members to
grasp the situation more quickly and
to work in harmony with members of
the Farm Bureau who are not Grang~
ers in improving the business side of
our agriculture."

Organization of the farmers in Fla
ton county seems to be the order of
the day, as it is throughout the state
of Michigan. In the county there are
some fourteen buying and selling asso-
ciations made up of general farmers
and stockmen, not including dairymen
and breeding associations. The County
Farm Bureau is busy assisting in this
organization work and endeavoring to
plan the scheme in such a manner that
the farmers of every community in the
county may have convenient market-
ing and purchasing centers. In some
of the communities the farmers already
have strong organizations and others
are being formed as rapidly as sufﬁ-
cient interest develops. In a. number

their owners are willing to retire from

kind 'pesent themselves the farmers
are ﬁnding it easy to ﬁnance their pur-
chase so that they can begin business
in their new quarters.

NE of the big problems in Eaton

county, the same as in the major-
ity of other counties, seems to be that
of getting the several kinds of buying
and selling associations and compa-
nies organized in 'such a manner ‘that
they may take full advantage of the
powers of collective buying and selling
and not run up against federal laws.
Experience has shown that it requires
great skill to get these associations
welded together in such a way that
they can do business without interfer-
ing with the strict interpretation of
federal laws.

Another matter that seems to be
puzzling many members of the County
Farm Bureaus is that of determining
what constitutes the privileges of mem-
bers and non-members. Right now is
the time to settle some of these prob-
lems and get the farmers of the state
working along the right lines. In near-
ly every county these problems are
identical and some deﬁnite plan of ac-
tion is needed for them to follow. This
is not meant as a melancholy prelude,
but merely in the hopes that readers
will see the point and cooperate with

3 the proper authorities in putting their
' organizations on a safe and sound

basis.

One of the leading cooperative or-
ganizations in Eaton county is the

four years and does practically all of
the live stock shipping business at
Charlotte. '

Another lively cooperative organiza-
tion is the Square Deal Cooperative El-
evator Company at Charlotte. During
the ﬁrst seven months it has done a
business of more than $200,000 in hand-‘
ling farm supplies and feeds. The
ofﬁcers and directors are: Fred Ter-

er of both organizations and it is very
largely due to his efforts that these

ton, president; Charles Frye, mana-
ger; Frank Abeles, Chauncey May,
Rollo Strickling, F. "0. Pierce, Robert
Kirby, Archelle Paquette, Frank Bos-

vator Association has been organized
at Eaton Rapids but the ofﬁcers have
not been elected at this time.

The Grand Ledge Live Stock Ship-

At Windsor and Mulliken, Farm Bu-
reau Associations have been organized
and will begin business this fall. Oth-
er organizations are under way and it
is the aim of the County Farm Bureau
to have every community served by
these cooperative associations before

the end of the year.
IN riding through the' county we no-
ticed several farmers’ cooperative
threshing rigs at work. The advan-
tages of these threshing rigs is com-
ing to be more fully appreciated in
many counties each year, especially on
farms where the acreage of grain is
small or where pedigreed grains are
grown for seed.

The efforts of the breeders of pure-
bred dairy cattle to improve the herds
of grade cattle in Eaton county is be-
ginning to bear fruit. Many of the
farmers have purchased registered
sires. and others have organized bull
clubs. A few miles from Charlotte six
farmers have purchased a Holstein
bull for use in their herds. Clifford
Jordon, Claude Smith, John Ransom,
F. C. Lamont, Fred Youngs and Wilbur
Martin are the members of the club,
and County Agent Decker hopes to or-
ganize other groups of farmers and get
them to using better sires. '

The Eaton County Holstein Breed-
ers’ Association is pushing the breed
in the county and making plans to en-
courage buyers from other states to
come to Eaton county when looking
for good Holstein cattle. The ofﬁcers
and directors of the association are:
C. .I. Brunger, president; A. H. Loucks,
secretary; J. B. Strange, E. A. Vander-
beck, D. G. Miller, Milton Sprague, C.
E. Chapman, directors. One of the

aims of .the ofﬁcers is to encourage

the use of better sires and more A. R.
O. cows. .

The Eaton County Shorthorn Breed-
ers" .Association was organized in

I - .

March, 1919, and now has about twen-
ty members, with the following ofﬁ-
cers: Ira Zimmerman, of Diamondale,
president; Wm. Marshall, of Potter-
ville, vice-president; Lawrence P. Ot-
to, of Charlotte, secretary—treasurer.
Mr. Otto is also vice-president of the
Michigan Shorthorn Breeders‘ Associa-
tion. While the breedingof Shorthorn
cattle in the county is in its infancy,
there is much interest and enthusiasm
and some of the breeders have already
made great progress in improving their
herds. Dairying being strong througlr
out the county, there has been a strong
tendency to adhere to the milking type
of Shorthorn cattle. Among the es-
tablished breeders are: Simpson Bros.
The good ﬁve-year-old bull, Archer’s
Duke, heads their herd and is showing
good results. Ira Zimmerman heads
his herd with a Milking Shorthorn
type of bull that won ﬁrst in his class
at the Illinois State Fair last year.
Lawrence Otto has the only herd of
Scotch Shorthorns in the county. It is
made up largely of Marr—Missies, Vil-
lage Maids, Alexandrinas, Carmens,
Lavenders, Countess and other popu—
lar families, headed by Village Lorne,
a good son of Imported Lorne of the
Prescott herd, who was twice Grand
Champion at the Michigan State Fair.

With the assistance of the County
Shorthorn Association _a purebred
Shorthorn bred~heifer club has been
organized among the b0ys of the coun-
ty. While the club numbers only
twelve, each boy is a booster for the
breed and very much interested in the
project. Out of the twelve, eight
bought bred—heifers. The president of
the club bought a choice Scotch heifer
that is a show prospect. The club
members are Donald Shepard, presi-
dent; Ralph Johnson, secretary; Ger—
ald Bradley, vice-president; Fay Hal~
sey, treasurer; Emery Halsey, Charles
Dawson, Walter Ball, Morrison Clay,
Pearl Baker, Myrle Wheaton, Verness
Wheaton, Wilson Winegar.

OW—TESTING association work has

been receiving due attention in the
county and could be made a more
prominent feature of dairy improve-
ment if some method could be devised
so that small breeders might have
their cows tested in such a manner as
to give the yearly records an ofﬁcial
standing that would mean something.
There is no logical reason why this
work could not be put on a more sub-
stantial basis, so that the same asso-
ciations would serve breeders of pure-
bred dairy cattle, as well as farmers
who are now building up herds of

grade cattle for proﬁtable milk and

butter-fat yields. Here is an opportu-
nity for dairy farmers and breeders of
puebred cattle to cooperate and elimi-
nate the expense of ofﬁcial testing and
culling out the low producers from

HE meeting of the presidents

I and secretaries of the Farm Bu-

reau Federations of the midwest
states, held at Chicago July 23-24, was
continued at East Lansing on Tuesday
and \Nednesday, July 27-28. While a
number of important agricultural prob-
lems were discussed at this East Lan-
sing meeting, the greater portion of the
time was devoted to the consideration
of various marketing problems. Chief
among these was the grain marketing
program discussed at Chicago and re-
ported in the last issue of this journal.

Mr. Sapiro Speaks.

The ways and means committee were
fortunate in again securing Mr. Aaron
Sapiro, attorney for eight of the Cali-
fornia cooperative exchanges, to pre—
sent the fundamental principles of co-
operation as they have been worked
out in California. Mr. Sapiro differen-
tiated between the Rochdale or Eng-
lish system, and what he calls the Cal-
ifornia or American system of cooper-
ation. The Rochdale plan was devel-
oped as a buyers’ organization, while
the Californian system is a plan for
selling the products of its members.
He also drew the line between the
marketing of perishable products and
non-perishables. ln marketing perish-
ables, the big problem is that of ship-
ping, while in distributing non-perish-
ables, the big question is one of stor-
age or warehouses.

Marketing is the business of an ex-
pert. It is equally as foolish to put
the job ol‘ selling grain or live stock
into the hands of an amateur as it is
to have one unacquainted with law to
draw a deed or will. The farmer is
gambling when the farmer sells his
wheat to the speculator. The latter is

'not. only qualiﬁed by native shrewd-
ness and experience, but in addition
he. is well equipped through'trade con-
nections to know the conditions sur-
rounding the market, while the farmer
at best is very poorly informed. Con-
sequently the individual farmer is per-
fectly helpless when he attempts to
sell his products alone to the spec-
ulator.

The Making of Prices.

Mr. Sapiro recounted the oft repeat-
ed statement that wheat prices are
supposed to be made in Liverpool. He
pictured how the supplies from six sur—
plus producing countries are supposed
to move toward the English port and
as a result of this and the centralized
demand at that point, prices were es-
tablished. These prices would then be
wired to all wheat marketing centers
and be reﬂected there. The theory,
he declared, is dead and the practice
is vile. Wheat prices for America are
pretty largely made by a few large
dealers in Chicago. These dealers have
agents throughout the world who gath-
er information on grain conditions. The
practice is to give out to the public
only such of this information as will
aid these buyers in gaining their sel-
ﬁsh ends.

When the western people found
themselves in a position somewhat
similar to this in the distribution of
their fruit crops they sent representa-
tives to Denmark to study the selling
associations of that country. This
study and the following experiences
has resulted in the most successful co-
operative enterprises developed in
America. During the past year the co
operatives of Califbrnia have handled
ayer $300,000,000 worth of farmer-5’
products.

' The Game of the Big Buyers.

Here is an example of how the big
operators worked the raisin growers
The buyers of various concerns got to-

gether before approaching the farmers
and decided upon a program to secure
a certain season’s crop. They agreed
to report to their respective patrons
that a 50,000-ton crop was developing,
while 30,000 tons was the amount the
market needed. This propaganda was
spread throughout the producing dis-
tricts and laterthe uninformed growers
in; comparing notes found that their
data agreed, which tended to reassure
them of its accuracy. Following this
preliminary work, the buyers contract-
ed for the delivery of the crop at one
and .three- eighths cents per pound,
while it should have brought at least
twice this amount.

This policy had been followed up to
the year 1911, and there had not been
a single season previous when the
whole crop paid cost of production. By
this time the growers were thoroughly
discouraged, and land without vines
was more valuable than land on which
high-producing vineyards were grow-
ing. Bankers and retailers also be-
moaned the situation since they could
do little business when the farmers
were poor.

Organize by Commodity.

They agreed to organize and the ﬁrst
season these discouraged farmers were
revived and caused to take hope since
the price received that year not only
paid the cost of production but gave
them a little in the way of proﬁt. Not
a year has passed since in which this
has not been repeated and during the
past season when the demand for rais-
ins became so urgent the margin of
proﬁt was considerably increased over
other years. As a result much plant-
ing of new vineyards has been done.

Growers should organize by commod-
ity rather than by locality. No' last-
ing success can be obtained until the
organization secures control of the
product marketed. This is what the
United States Steel Corporation did.
Such organization makes it possible for
every group of producers to obtain the
average maximum price. The raisin
growers, through the aid of their local
bankers and merchants, were able to
sign up seventy-eight per cent of the
growers in four months.

Contract with Growers.

He next emphasized that the foun-
dation of the cooperative business is
not banking connections, but the con-
tract between the association and the
grower. This contract should be iron-
clad- and for a long term. With the
raisin growers the term is ﬁve years
and the conditions of the contract used
were so binding that every one of
10,800 contracts Written were carried
out. Should a person threaten to sell
outside the organization they institute
court proceedings to secure an in-
junction to prevent marketing else-
where than to the association. The
contracts not only enable the organi-
zation to know just what products they
have to sell, but they also furnish the
basis for credit at the bank. This year
New York bankers solicited the busi~
ness of the raisin growers and because
of the ironclad contracts these bank-
ers loaned $10, 000,000 to the organiza~
tion at four and three-quarters per
cent.

Should Serve Members Only.

Mr. Sapiro’s contention is that coop-
erative associations should handle bus-
iness for members only. It is organized
for them and they should have the ben-
eﬁts resulting, and further, the only
way to build up and maintain a mem-
bership is to retain for the members
the beneﬁts of organization. If an out-
side grower desires the beneﬁts then
he should join.

sales the organization has been able
to reduce speculation in prunes from
a hundred per cent to less than ten
per cent of the crop. The crop is sold
to wholesalers or distributors and if
any of these houses resells to another
wholesale or distributing house there-
by increasing the retail price beyond
what it should be, the growers’ organi-
zation sees to it that such concerns do

not get another car.
Boards of Trade Unnecessary.

Chicago that the grain growers should

selling price and the retail prices,
these two seemingly contradictory ends
are gained to an extent that consump-
tion is growing rapidly and at the same
time the growers are sending their
children to colleges and universities in
larger numbers than in any other part
of the country simply because the farm-
ers have money and a reasonable as-
surance that they will have a living
income for the coming years.

Wheat Growers Should Have Control.

Mr. Sapiro advised against the wheat
growers organizing into a national or-
ganization until they could control
ﬁfty—one per cent of the wheat in the
surplus wheat states. The average pro-
duction of this grain in the United
States is 750,000,000 bushels while the
domestic consumption is about 570,000,—
000 bushels. If the farmers can have.
under contract 450,000,000 bushels
then they will have control of all that

is exported and also make it necessary ‘

for domestic mills to come to the farm—
ers’ organization for some of their sup~
plies. When this situation comes
about it will be within the province of
the organization to say what the price
will be. Wherever this plan has been
followed the public has been served
with far more discretion than under
the private control system where a
dozen or ﬁfteen men sitting at Chicago
perform this function. The ﬂuctua-
tions in wheat prices which have taken
place recently on our boards of trade
could hardly have occurred under the
new arrangements.

The grain should be pooled and put
in the hands of men who are Specialists
in their" lines. Go to the railroads
and get a trafﬁc man. Outbid some

man to be found and lay before him
your advertising problems. In other
words, it requires brains to success-
fully handle a business of this kind.

His most instructive and interesting
address was closed by a statement that
there follows a great uplift to the com~
munity when put on the right com-
mercial basis. It has proved thus in
California and the experience in Den-
mark has been even more marked.

Conference Starts Educational Pro-
gram.

As a ﬁnal result of the address of
Mr. Sapiro and the following discus-
sion it was voted that the conference
recommend in addition to the commit~
tee of seventeen provided for at the
Chicago conference, that each State
Farm Bureau select and pay the ex-
penses of a representative who will go
with the representatives of other
states, make a study of the California.
and other cooperative institutions, re~
port back to his state organization
with such recommendations as he may
choose to make. This, it was thought,
would prepare the state organizations
and the local units to act intelligently
when the committee of seventeen or;
fers its report and a general program
is up for consideration.

It was further moved that congress
be asked to appropriate funds to send
representatives and experts to Ben-
mark and Southern Russia to ‘make a
study of the cooperative organizations
established there, compile the infor-
mation and make it available.

Professor Mumford Speaks on Live

, IERE is. scarcely a government
I activity, ' the movements of
which do not in one way or an-
other very seriously affect the inter-

. ests of the farmers. “It is a far cry”

from the Pennsylvania or Middle West
farm to the United States Shipping

'Board, apparently, nevertheless state-

ments given out by men closely iden—
tiﬁed with the board indicate that
farmers, especially the live stock rais-
ers, may well keep a’close line upon

the plans and projects under way or'

contemplated by the men in charge of
this government organization.

in an address delivered before the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers, the other day, Admiral Benson,
chairman of the Shipping Board, said
that “the board is determined to live
up .to the letter of the Jones Merchant
Marine law in spite of threats and
propaganda carried on, by foreign in-
terests seeking to defeat the purpose
of the law,” which evidently means
that an attempt will be made to build
up an adequate merchant marine.

An official of the shipping board,

‘ who is in a position to _speak with

authority, says the board is primarily
interested in establishing an American
merchant marine on a paying basis;
but. that it is to be accomplished with

. the future prosperity of the whole na-
‘ tion in mind. This is to be done under?
the Jones Merchant Marine law, by

establishing steamship lines from vari-
ous American' ports to foreign coun-

“ tries where it is thought that proﬁt—

able passenger and freight trafﬁc can

' be. developed. The ships are to be

leased by the Shipping Board to indi-
viduals or private corporations under
contracts that provide the trade routes
under which they are to sail. The
board will lease some of its ships to a

: private corporation to operate from

Rio de Janeiro and other South Amer-

] ican ports to England.

~

N spite of the claim that the Amer-
ican Merchant Marine is to be oper-
ated with full recognition of the pro-

. tection of all American industries, it is
.‘ announced that two projects are to be
developed as soon as possible, which

come into direct competition with
American agriculture. One is a line

'Of refrigerator steamships between

Atlantic Coast ports and the Plata
River ports in South America for the
purpose of bringing cheap meat from
the Argentine to the United States.
The other is a refrigerator line to

, Australia for the same purpose. It is

argued that if our merchant marine
does. not carry the cheap farm prod-
ucts from these countries to our shores
the ships of other nations will, and the
United States might as well have the
beneﬁt of this trade. Proﬁts for the
merchant marine and an abundant sup-
ply of cheap food for the millions of
consumers in the Eastern cities are
the inducements back of this project,
which will bring the livestock raisers
of the Middle West into direct compe-
tition with the stock raisers of South
America and Australia in our own
home markets. The only remedy that
is suggested by those friendly to the
stock raising industry is a tariff on
meats sufﬁcient to protect our Amer-
ican stock farmers from the competi-

. tion of imported meat products.

The matter of securing a reduction

. in freight rates on export apples and
‘ better transportation facilities has

been taken up, with the Shipping

granted, the Maine apple growers say
they will be put out of business. The
American Apple Shippers’ Association
and other organizations, It Is expect-
ed, will join in this move for better
shipping service. A request will be
made to the Shipping Board for allo-
cation or special refrigerator ships to
handle the“ apple situation. Some
hopes "are entertained that relief is in
sight.

HROUGH the efforts of the Amer-

ican Farm Bureau Federation
Washington ofﬁce, the United States
Shipping Board has announced that it
can furnish from thirty to thirty-ﬁve
boats on the Great Lakes for- the
transportation of grain, and the rates
will be competitive with the railroads.

President J. R. Howard of the Am-
erican Farm Bureau Federation, while
here recently, said “the railroad tan-
gle, with its resulting tie-up in grain
movement, is costing the farmers hun-
dreds of thousands daily.” He says
that with as high as 25 per cent of
last year’s crop still remaining in the
local elevators in some sections, and
totally inadequate .movement of the
new crop, local buyers ﬁnd it neces-
sary to protect themselves by wider
margins. These increases in margins
are costing the farmer at the elevator
a total of ten cents or more a bushel
over the usual handling margins. And
this does not beneﬁt the consumer, as
it is a direct loss, a sacriﬁce to inef-
ﬁciency. “Flour, in fact, is selling at
a. higher price today through the op-
eration of some of those same inefﬁci-
ency factors.” '

. “The railway laborer who has will-
fully cut down his volume of work
and repeatedly struck for increased
wages may wake up one of these days
to ﬁnd that the increase he has caused
in the cost of food, clothing and shel-
ter more than offset the increase he
has demanded in wages. There is no
more damnable point at which labor
can attack our economic structure, and
no surer way of cutting its own throat
than by cutting down the efﬁciency
and the carrying capacity of our ar—
teries of transportation,” says Mr.
Howard. “One of the most lamentable
features of the whole situation is the
effect it may have upon next- year’s
crop. Preparation for the next crop
will start within a month, and predic-
tion of heavy cutslin acreage are gen-
eral.” '

The American Farm Bureau Federal»
tion has plans under way to affect a
co—operative grain marketing system
which will handle the bulk of the
grain produced in the U'hited States
at a censiderable saving to both pro—
ducers and consumers. All farm or-
ganizations have been invited to co-

operate in this movement, especially ‘

the associations which have under
their control co—operative elevators,
with a View to developing a central
co-ordinating sales agency for the
handling of wheat and other grains.
It may take a year or more to perfect
the organization, and establish it upon
a ﬁrm, permanent business basis.

Preferential assignment of cars for
the loading of fertilizers to the extent
of a minimum of 75 per cent of actual
daily requirements has been ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. This demand on the part of the
fertilizer trade is being followed with
another for priority orders for cars to
move raw rock phosphate from the
mines to-the fertilizer plants. The fer-
tilizer movement for the season has
already begun in advance of the usual
season for the purpose of helping out
the car supply.

.the extremely low prices at

HE American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration Washington ofﬁce is
calling attention to the war de-
partment’s sensational advertising cam-

paign to sell its surplus stock of meats.

One large display advertisement which
is typical of others, begins as follows:

“Government acts tolower living
costs. The Secretary of War orders
immediate release and sale to the Am-
erican public of all meats declared sur-
plus at extremely low prices. _By the
immediate disposal of its entire sur-
plus stock of canned meats, at the ex-
tremely low prices at which they Will
be sold, the government delivers a
powerful blow at the high cost of liv-
i . * * * Every available outlet
will be used in distributing these
meats. Every retailer, from the small-
est to the largest, will perform a duty
he rightfully owes to every citizen m
his community by acting as a medium
through which these meats will be dis-
tributed at the very low prices at
which they can be sold. These goods
are not to be offered for export. This
decision of the Secretary of War to
distribute them through every possible
channel is made in order that the Am-
erican people may beneﬁt directly by
which
these meats will be sold. Because of
the wide publicity to be given to the

prices at which the government Will‘

sell these meats, the American people
will at once recognize and appreciate
the spirit of cooperation to lower the
living costs rendered by every retailer
who participates in the distribution of
these commodities."

 
-meat should be sold.

  
.. /. .,.

This surplus of meats offered by the
War Department for sale amounts to
around 78,000,000 pounds of beef and
50,000,000 pounds of baCOn, all in cans.
It is being sold at a' loss, but at the
highest wholesale market price, it is
claimed, the department can get. The
It would be a
crime to let it spoil. And the govern-
ment needs the money” it will bring;
but it is apparent that the government,
instead of making the disposal of the
meat its main object at this time, is
more largely interested in breaking
the price of meats and thereby lower-
ing food costs to consumers.

Compared with the enormous annual
consumption of meats in the United
States, this 75,000,000 pounds of beef

.is less than a half week’s supply, and

it could all be sold within a few weeks
without injury to any industry; but the
Farm Bureau Federation men look up-
on this attempt to break prices as a
bad policy, which, while giving the con-
sumers lower prices for a time, will
have a psychological effect upon the
market that will be disastrous to the
cattle-raising industry and the farmers
will be the losers.

When this phase of 'the matter, the
effect .of this low price advertising
campaign upon the cattle raisers, was
pointed out to the War Department
ofﬁcials having in charge the sale of

creSts at

.g"

the meats, they assumed theattltude'
that as the farmers have already made,
so much out of the war, they could well
afford to stand the loss which this big
government drive against meat prices
might cause them. It is only in line,
however, with the policy of the admin-
istration to cut the cost of living for
the city consumers regardless of its
effects upon the farmers. ,

The Bueau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture, has
prepared a summary, in which it is
shown that 2,885 projects have been
ﬁled with the bureau, of which 2,790
have been approved. These represent
27,796 miles of road improvement.
plans, speciﬁcations and estimates of

41,800 projects have been recommended

for approval by the bureau, represent-
ing‘14,000 miles of roads.

Figures compiled by Andrew P. An-‘
derson, highway engineer of the Bu-
reau of Public Roads, show that there
were 7,565,446 motor vehicles of all
types registered in the United States
during 1918, an increase of twenty-
three per cent over the previous year.
As the total road mileage in the Unit-
ed States, outside incorporated towns

and cities, is 2,475,000 miles, it will be-

Seen that there are three motor ve-
hicles for every mile of highway.
Some time ago the express compa-

nies asked the interstate commerce»

Commisisen' to allow them to increase
their rates twenty-ﬁve per cent. Now
since their employee have made a de-'
mand for ~$73,000,000 salary raise, the
express companies are asking for a ﬁf-
teen per cent advance on top of their
former request, which if granted.
would tax the American public another
$100,000,000. ' i

The railroads are also asking for a
second advance in rates, to cover the
$626,000,000 wage increase granted by
the railroad labor board. If the roads
are given the two increases asked for,‘
it would mean an additional freight
bill of $355,379,675 for the people to‘
pay, and the passenger fares would be
advanced twenty per cent. Milk tariffs
would be increased to the same level
as freight rates,~ or an estimated in-’
crease of $8,666,089 in, thecost of
transporting milk.

The coming retirement of Major
Wiliam A. King on August 20, at the
age of eighty-eight years, will remove
from the United States.Department of

Major King was appointed‘chlef of the’
seed testing division thirty-one years?

with a satisfactory live stock market-
ing scheme are baffling. He ﬁrst em-
phasized the fact that the live stock
business is centralized as soon as the
live stock passes out of the farmer’s
hands. As a consequence competition
is practically eliminated. There are
only about two hundred and ﬁfty large
slaughterers of live stock in the coun-
try. Because of the magnitude of the
business this results
where these men can cooperate to the
detriment of the farmers. The first
big problem is therefore, to get com-
petition in this end of the business.

A second problem is to do some-
thing for the consumer. He must be
assured that the industry is going to
deal squarely with him. To maintain
the supply and to keep up the demand
for live stock products are questions
the solution of which will tax our big-
gest and best informed men.

A third difﬁculty in the handling of
this product is that it is perishable.
When stock is prepared for the mar-
ket it must leave the producer and be
added to the stocks in the hands of
distributing agents.

Two Suggestions.

The ﬁrst suggestion made by Profes-
sor Mumford was to inaugurate a pro-
gram of intelligent production. At the
present time the farmer or live stock
man has no deﬁnite knowledge what-
ever as to the probable supply and de-

mand of stock when his animals are

ready for sale. These men produce re-
gardless of the market situation. Farm-
ers must get in a position where they
can forecast more or less accurately
the general marketing conditions. To
do this, a live stock reporting service
must be organized. Reports should be
made at least every three months. Ev-
ery agency having knowledge of the
situation ought to be used in collect-
ing this information so that the reports
he as accurate as it is possible to make
them.

The second suggestion is to get the
stock to market in the least expensive
and the best manner. Thus far the co-
operative, shipping association have

in a situation

furnished a means for reducing ex-
penses. Many of these, however, are
improperly organized-and managed.
Our present need is for, better trained
men to take care of this work.

Professor Mumford fears that the
rapid development of the live stock in-
dustry in South America is going to
have a big inﬂuence upon the business
in this country. Tariff legislation may
be necessary to protect our live stock
business.

Would Reduce Commisison Fees.

Following Professor Mumford’s talk
and a discussion of the general pro—
gram of the American Federation of
Farm Bureaus, a motion that we re-
quest ofﬁcials of the American Farm
Bureau Federation to extend c00pera-
tive live stock marketing organizations
to markets not now served by either
extending existing organizations or by
organizing new associations, was ta-
bled, with lhe request that copies of
the motion be sent to each State Farm
Bureau association for consideration.

The conference passed a resolution
to the effect that inasmuch as the cost
of selling live stock by the coopera-
tive method at Omaha is sixty-ﬁve per
cent below the prevailing charges of
commisison men, the midwest State
Farm Bureaus ask a conference with
commission ﬁrms looking toward a re—
duction of the present commisison
rates.

To Form National Wool Pool.

After a discussion of the present
wool pool situation by representatives
of the various states, it was voted by
the conference that President Howard,
of the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion be asked to take immediate steps
looking towards the organization of
the stale wool marketing departments
into one great national pool. Reports
from these states indicated that the
combined pools would amount to be-
tween 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 pounds.
In the discussions much'emphasis was
placed on the “truth-in-fabric” bill now
before congress. Growers are unani-
mous in their opinion that the passage
of this bill is necessary to protect the
sheep industry.

Favors the Great Lakes Tidewater
improvement.

Sentiment among the persons pres«
cut at this conference was unqualified-
ly in favor of the opening of the Great—
Lakes-to—Ocean transportation through
the improvement of~lake canals and
the St. Lawrence river. Charles Craig,
of Duluth, president of the Great Lakes
Tidewater Association, declared in a
carefully prepared address that seven-
ty per cent of the food consumed in
the United States, and almost one hun-
dred per cent of the export food pro-
ducts are raised in the middle-west
states. He stated further, that the
money which the farmers of this dis-
trict lose each year through inadequate
transportation facilities will pay for
rectifying the St. Lawrence river. By
bringing the Atlantic Coast ﬁfteen hun-
dred miles nearer this great produc-
ing section, this project, the expense
of which will be cared for by the water
power developed, constitutes one of the
greatest internal improvements ever
undertaken, and means more to the
agricultural development of the coun-
try than any other public enterprise.

'Better Seed.

Mr. J. W. Nicolson, manager of the
seed department of the Michigan State
Farm Bureau, gave the delegates an
idea of how the department proposes
to aid Michigan farmers in securing
better seed at a more reasonable price,
and how the various State Farm Bu-
reaus could render an even greater ser-
vice to the individual members if all
the State Farm Bureaus had well or-
ganized seed departments. The farm-
er has always left the production of
seeds to the seedsmen and 'as a result
he has simply taken what was offered
him. It is impossible for the individ-
ual farmer to determine through ex-
periment and observation the best
seeds for him to grow. To do this
work efﬁciently and effectively it is
necessary to work through an organi-
zation.

In the case of clover seed we have
a product which is grown and used by
farmers. The question arises as to why
the seed should be allowed to go out

0 .

of the farmer’s hands at all. Have
speculatorsany reason to take toll in»
collecting and distributing this product
and bringing it back to the farmer fre-.
quently in an adulterated form? Mr;
Nicolson contends that it is perfectly
feasible for the State Farm Bureaus to
handle cloverseed to the direct beneﬁt
of the farmer members through the
various organized groups.

The Michigan seed department deals
with each county as a unit. This ena-
bles them to handle seeds on a carlot.
basis, in most instances, thus reducing
cost. The state association is now in
the market for timothy seed. If the
farmers of Missouri who grow a sur-
plus of this product, were organized,
we could deal directly with them.

Another beneﬁt to be derived by or-
ganization is that different groups of
farmers will not be competing in the
market for seeds. Last year the coun-
ty agents of various counties in the
northern states, and a few of the state
associations were out in the ﬁeld bid-
ding against each other for Grimm al-
falfa seed. This bidding forced the
price to a much higher level than
would have obtained had they all pur-
chased through a single agency. The
object of such an association is there-
fore, to protect the farmers and to
keep prices of seeds reasonable.

Many other speakers addressed the
conference. Dr. Kedzie, president of
the Michigan Agricultural College,
stated that the facilities of the College
were available to the Farm Bureau or-
ganization for every service that it was
possible and within the limits of the
college to give. Dean Shaw declared
the time had arrived when more exact
information on the great farming bus-
ineSS was needed. President Howard
impressed the delegates with the con-
structive work that the American Fed-
eration of Farm Bureaus is doing.
Wm. Eckhart, of the grain marketing
department of the Illinois Agricultural
Association, and Mr. Crandell, secre-'
tary of the South Dakota Association,
reported on the work being done by
the, United Grain Growers, Ltd., of

Canada, and the Canadian Council of

Agriculture.

“Your Goodyear Cord Tires on our truck go right through the
plowed ground of our citrus groves, permitting loading at the
trees, and they protect the fruit, particularly the lemons, which

are very delicate, by smoothing the haul to the packing house.
They save labor, fruit, time.”——H. .J. Kelly, Packing, House
Manager, Charles C. Chapman Ranch, Fullerton, California

 
N rural hauling like this and in farm duty
radically different, the use of Goodyear
Cord Tires on trucks has been found produc—

_ tive of a variety 'of important advantages.

Their traction has increased truck utility for
farmers, ranchmen, fruit growers, dairymen and
others, particularly owners of motorized farms,
by enabling easy hauling through soft ﬁelds.

_Their cushioning has effected continuous

savings in the marketing of delicate vegetables,

. fruit, dairy products. and of eggs and live-

stock, all of which sufier on slow, jarring
solid tires.

Their nimbleness often has accomplished more
hauling with less driving and resulted in a
quicker feeding of power machinery while
releasing hands and saving time for farm work.

Throughout extended terms of service these
Virtues have been delivered with the stout
reliability developed in Goodyear Cord con-

_ struction by manufacturing methods that pro-

tect our good name.

‘N THESE DAYS of “better” things

-“better babies," “better crops,”

“better stock," etc, should we not
put a little more thought on the vital
subject of “better schools?”

Let us look over a few of the many
reasons for a change in our present
rural school system

E. T. Meredith of Iowa says: “The
curse of our educational system is
the school district.” He contends that
the schools should be taken out of
the hands of politics and that a coun-
ty board manage all the rural schools
in the county and appoint a county
superintendent.

One thing we know—the one room
rural school must give way to some»
thing better. Its day is already past
and all over the country complaint is
made of the “district” school system.
According to the ﬁndings of govern-
ment experts about half of the rural
schools of the United States are now
taught by inexperienced teachers,
most of whom are boys and girls 01'
no training and very little educational
preparation. This is mainly caused
by the rush of young men and women
to the large cities, partly induced by
the low wages given to school teach-
ers and the extremely high wages
paid for other work in the cities. The
State of Iowa was short 100 teachers
last fall, and as a result, one—half of
the schools in that State have already
adopted a system of consolidation. In

In the Consolidated Schools, there is

our own State of Michigan we were
500 teachers short, and eight new con-
solidated schools were formed, and in
most of our rural schools we are em-
ploying those inexperienced and un-
trained boys and girls above men-
tioned. Not only are inefﬁcient teach-
ers :1 cause of dissatisfaction but poor—
ly equipped buildings in poor repair,
unsanitary conditions and insufﬁcient
water supply, bad roads causing a low
percentage of attendance, and many
other things. Insufﬁcient supervision
of pupils while at school is one of the
most deplorable of our rural condi—
tions. Self-respecting parents who
wish their children to grow up with
healthy morals and any decency at all
dread to send their children to the
average country 01‘ small village
school. A prominent club woman of
this State who has studied rural
school conditions makes the state
ment that "it is impossible for chil-
dren in the average rural school to
be decent." This is certainly partly
the fault of the teacher but not en-
tirely. There are many faults of the
one room rural school that could be
remedied if the people insisted upon
it, but sometimes it almost seems as it
the majority of ieople are either blind
or don’t cane. ‘

boys and girls who were eager to ad-
vance farther than the eighth grade
but could not be spared from home
to attend the nearest high school.

Some parents have sacriﬁced much

and have sent their children away to
school or have moved to town them-
selves to give their children educa-
tional privileges. . That is one place
where the district school falls short.
One would think it needless to men-
tion more of the limitations of the
oneroom rural school. All wide-awake
citizens may see for themselves if
they have not already seen. One
mother said not long ago: “The im-
morality in our school is sickening.”

There is a way to remedy all these
defects and thinking parents agree
with all our prominent educators that
that way is consolidation, making the
township, or, better yet, the county,
the unit of organization. Let me say
here that there have been and still
are some good one-room schools with
splendid teachers at their head who
have done much for the pupils and
the community, but these schools are
rare.

Our state already has four different
laws by which schools may be con-
solidated. These are (1) the Graded
School Act; (2) The Township Unit
Act for the Upper Peninsula; (3) The
General Township Unit Act, and (4)
The Rural Agricultural School Act.

The graded school act is especially

Girls Towards, Rather than Away from the Farm.

l

for the use of cities and villages but
has been adapted to the needs of
some of the more populous rural dis-
tricts, as in Berrien, Van Buren and
some other counties. The general
township unit act is practically the
same in effect as the graded school
act.

The Rural Agricultural School Act
seems at plesent the one best adapted
to the needs of our rural districts in
lower Michigan. The Michigan State
Grange at their last annual meeting
in December, 1919, endorsed this plan
of consolidation, and it is also ap-
proved by our State Superintendent of
Public Instruction.

In the Rural Agricultural School,
Manual Training, Domestic Science
and Agriculture must be a part of
the course of study. Now the inter-
esting part of this last named act is
that the State gives ﬁnancial aid to-
ward the maintenance of such schools.
There are two classes of schools pro-
vided for—Class A and Class B. Class
A consists of schools having less than
zo-ecres of land used partly for agri-
cultural demonstration and some for
playgrounds and athletics. The in-
structors are a principal and two or
more teachers employed for nine
months of the year

Class 3 consists of schooh having
more than ﬁmothndusedfor

the same purposes as in Class A-
schools. The instructors are a. prin~
cipal hired for twelve months of. the

year and two or more teachers em:

played for 'ten months. Notice that
the principal in Class B schools is on
duty twelve months of the year. in
the two months that school is not in
session he oversees boys' and girls'
club Work and assist in farm demon-
stration work. and is also ready to
give assistance and advice to the
farmers of the community. These
schools are practically experiment
stations for the farming community.
In one section of Houghton county.
where a rural agricultural school was

.organized. the methods of farming

were practically revolutionized in less
than two years. The State gives an:
nually at least, $600 to schools of
Class A and at least $900 annually to
schools of Class B, besides $209 per
year for each vehicle used in carry-
ing pupils to and from school. Ac-
cording to the State Act all the build
ings must be modern, properly heated.
ventilated and lighted, and have
proper equipment for teaching agriculo
ture, manual training and home eco~
nomics. The plans for buildings must
be approved by the State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction. The State
Department of Public Instruction has
issued plans for buildings which may

be used by anydistricts consolidating

if they wish.

The teachers of home economics.
agriculture and manual training must
have completed a course in the sub
ject they teach in a college or State
Normal. The principals must hold a
state life certiﬁcate and also possess
other special qualiﬁcations. In the
last year eight rural agricultural
schools have been formed in lower
Michigan, and about two years ago
one was organized in Houghton Coun—
ty. The greater part of the schools of
Upper Michigan are consolidated. or
centralized under the township unit
system.

Some of the advantages of the con-
solidated schools are shown by the
results where they are established.

We know that our rural school‘s
generally have not created a greater
love for the faun or country life and
this is one of the g1 eatest aims of the
consolidated school. Not only in ag-
riculture do the pupils ﬁnd themselves
on familiar ground but a practical ap«
plication is found in language, laritlr
metic, geography, etc, to their home
surroundings and daily life. The large
classes in these schools create a spirit
of competition—~there are very few
laggards. Large classes always posu
sess more interest than a class of one
or two or three. The size of the
grounds, aside from agricultural work,

give good facilities for 'up—tp-date
playground and athletics. The domes-
tic science ' teacher has paiticular

oversight of the personal welfare and
morale of the pupils. The superior
education and special training for
rural work is a great advantage over
the present system in most of lower
Michigan. All varieties of boys’ and
girls’ clubs are fostered by the rural
agricultural school, including athletic,
literary and debating clubs. Not only
the school itself is put on a. higher
standing but the, entire community
proﬁts by it. There is a public pride
in a centralized community that isnot
found in the little one-room district.
We ﬁnd that the better school brings
.in its wake, better farms, better roads
and better homes, higher value of

land and a much higher moral senti-

meat. The rural social problem is

use solved by the centralized schoo'L

EFFECT OF CEDAR ON FRUIT.

 
Will a red cedar tree have any ef-
fect on apples? Does white pine and
white cedar have any effect on our-
rants? T. J. S.

Red cedar trees do have 'a seriously
detrimental effect upon apples because
the cedar trees harbor the apple rust
fungus in one stage of its life cycle.
It is poor orcharding policy to plant
windbreaks of junipers or to allow the
tree to grow near apple orchards.

To date one cannot point to actual
losses which have occurred from this
cause in Michigan. The true apple
rust is more or less of a curiosity with
us, and the red cedar as a roadside
tree is extremely uncommon as com-
pared with the conditions in other
states. But we must be aware of the
losses which this fungus has caused
in other states, such as Wisconsin,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska.
We should be guided by the experi-
ence of those states. Exactly as the
red cedar became a common tree grow—
ing in waste places, about dooryards,
and along fences, so the apple rust de-
veloped and became a serious post.
The recent experience in Ohio is well
worthy of careful consideration. In
the last ﬁfteen years the rod cedar
has been spreading in Ohio and is now
doing serious damage in that state.
Expensive and time-consuming erudi-
cation measures aimed at the red ced-
ar or juniper tree are now necessary.

Not all apples are equally suscep—
tible to injury. York Imperial, Rome,
Wealthy, Jonathan and Ben Davis are
all seriously injured, while Baldwin,
Grimes, Northern Spy and Maiden
Blush are fairly resistant.

If rust develops in Michigan as a
result of red cedars we have adequate
laws to bring about the control of the
pest, but we should not add to the bur-
den of fruit growing by planting the
tree. It is doubtful if the. various hort-
icultural varieties of juniper used for
ornament are subject to the rust, but
certainly the red cedar tree is. Birds
carrying the seeds will spread the tree
and in a few years our waste lands
could beecme populated with the red
cedar if fruit growers permitted the
wholesale introduction.

White pine harbors a similar rust
which passes part of its life cycle on
currants and gooseberries. Fortunate-
ly Michigan is as yet free from infes-
tation by the white pine blister rust
and growing of either white pine or
the bush fruits is not interfered with.
In the New England states it is a ser-
ious question whether the farmers will
grow currants and gooseberries or
white pine. Currants and gooseberries
are under restrictions governing move-
ment from nurseries, but they are per-
fectly safe to grow in any part of the
state so far as we know at present.

The white cedar is safe .to grow any—
where. It does not harbor any para-
sites dangerous to fruits or other
crops. .

These two questions deal with a
most fascinating phenomenon, called
by plant pathologists, the Heterocism
of the Rusts. In short, the rust fungi
in many cases require two diﬁerent
plants as hosts on which to complete
their life ‘cycle. Farmers centuries
ago noticed that wheat and other
grains were injured.by rust when a
barberrybush grew near. Scientists
at a much later date foundthe explan~
ation of this by ﬁnding the rust or
wheat ‘and other cereals produced spe-
cial kinds of fruiting bodies on the' bar-
berry. The observation of practical

 
men was correct and the old laws‘ol‘

‘

France, Denmark and Massachusetts
had proper foundation:

This discovery of the relationship of
grains and the barberry, through the
dangerous rust which was harbored,
opened the way for a study of other
relationships of the same sort and to-
day we know of some ﬁve hundred of
such biological partnerships. Scien~
tiﬁc agriculture seeks to utilize this
dependence of the rust upon two hosts
to complete its life cycle to prevent
losses, for it is usually possible to ex~
clude or control the distribution of one
host and thus protect the other. The
clearing of wild gooseberries from the
vicinities of white pine will protect a.
young pine plantation and similarly
the clearing away of pine from near
currants will control the rust as it de-
velops on the currants.‘ The plan of
preventing rust outbreaks of serious
type by the eradication of the barberry
is well known to all.

It is characteristic of modern agri-
cultural science that it strives to pre«
vent losses by attacking the parasites
at the vulnerable points.

BUTTER WON'T COME.

 
I have two good young cows from
which we make butter for our own
use and for some time past, and until
recently we could get butter from
our barrel—churn in ten to ﬁfteen min-
utes’ time, but the last three churn—
ings have taken from three-quarters
of an hour to two hours’ time. My
cows have good pasture, they are both
in good condition and we feed them
a mixture of middlings and bran twice
a day. (fan you assign the cause why
it should take so much longer to churn
at this time than it did earlier in the

season?
Alcona Co. C. Y.
I am inclined to think the whole

question hinges on the way you are
handling your cream. Cream must be
properly cared for and properly ripen‘
ed in orders to have the butter come
quickly. As soon as you skim theFmilk,

cool the cream and set aside in a cool ‘

place, until you want to churn it. The
next time you skim, cool this before
mixing it with cold cream and con—
tinue this until you have a sufﬁcient
amount of cream for churning. Then
bring your cream into a warm temper-
ature, seventy degrees, and stir occa~
sionally until it is all warmed up to
seventy degrees, this will probably
take twenty-four hours. The cream
then, of course, will become sour or
ripened and when it is thoroughly rip-
ened then cool it again down” to sixty
degrees, if possible, and I believe you
will have no trouble in having the but-
ter come in a reasonable time.

APPLYING LIME.

 
I have twenty acres of oat ground
to be plowed and sowed to wheat this
fall. I want to lime this soil, as it is
acid. Can you tell me the best way'to
apply it to the soil before plowing,
whether directly to the ground before
plowing, on the furrow, or after drag-
ging. What kind of a machine seems

.to be in the lead for distributing lime?

Some say an end-gate wagon distribu.
tor is the best, How much lime should
be applied per acre to insure a. good
catch of clover ?—J. B.

Apply the lime after plowing and
work it in well. Use from one and a
half to three tons per acre. It is usu—
ally best to drag the ground once be-
fore liming, as the spreader will work

easier. You will ﬁnd as a rule that'the. 7

regular two-wheeled lime and fertilizer
distributors are used most. The end-
‘gate distributor is not used so much,
but is likely satisfactory. . D.W.

 
Lb

 
The correct way. One man han-
dles the entire outﬁt and sees
his work.

 
You wouldn't think of riding your
horses. Of course this method is
wrong whether horses or tractors
are used to pull your implements.

5 -‘ The Moline Tractor follows the
proven principle ‘One man oper-
* 3 ates the entire outﬁt from the
seat of the implement, where he

I is in the best positi‘bn to observe

his work.

“. ,w‘pw“...

6-.-

 
In a 10—hour day one man and
a Moline Tractor can plow from 7

to 9 acres; disc-from 25 to 35 acres; '

seed from 25 to 35 acres; mow from
25 to 40 acres; cultivate from 12 to
20 acres; and harvestfrom 25 to 40
acres. In addition the machine will
do a great variety of other work

- and all ordinary belt jobs.

Compare these results with those
of ordinary methods. In many cases
the Moline enables one man to do at
least twice as much work. These
facts are borne out by the results

obtained by Moline owners.

 
Moline owners in 37 states say
that the Moline Tractor saves an
average of one man per farm,
as well as ﬁve horses, because it
does all ﬁeldwork, including cul-

’tivating.

The Moline Tractor increases
production by enabling one man
to do more work, and decreases
the cost of production by saving
help and horses.

Proﬁts of from $500 to $2200 a
year, from the Moline Tractor alone,
are being reported by Moline own-
ers from all sections of the country.

A ROMANCE of THE REDWOOD‘S
By Peter B. Kym ‘

.H H II

CHAPTER XXI.

‘Upon his return from the ofﬁce that.

night, Bryce Cardigan found his father
had left his bed and was seated before
the library ﬁre.

“Feeling a whole’ lot better today,
eh, pal ?” his son queried.

John Cardigan smiled. “Yes, son,”
he replied plaintively. “I guess I’ll
manage to live till next spring.”

“Oh, I knew there was nothing wrong

with you, John Cardigan, that a
healthy check wouldn’t cure. Pen-
nington rather jolted you, though,
didn’t he ?”

“He did, Bryce. It was jolt enough
to be forced to sell that quarter—I
never expected we’d have to do it;
but when I realize that it was a case
of sacriﬁcing you or my Giants, of
course you won. And I didn’t feel so
badly about it as I.“ used to think I
would. I suppose that‘s because there
'is a certain morbid pleasure in a real
sacriﬁce for those we love. And I
never doubted but that Pennington
would snap up the property the in-
stant I offered to sell. Hence his
refusal——in the face of our desperate
need for money to carry on until con-
ditions improve—almost ﬂoored your
old man."

“Well, we can afford to draw our

breath now, and that gives us a ﬁght—
ing chance, partner. And right after
dinner you and I will sit down and
start brewing a pot of powerful bad
medicine for the Colonel."
" “Son, I've been sitting here simmer-
ing all day.” There was a note of the
old dominant ﬁghting John Cardigan
in his voice now. “And it has occurred
to me that even if I must sit on the
bench and root, I've not reached the
point where my years have begun to
affect my thinking ability." He touched
his leonine head. “I’m as right as a
fox upstairs, Bryce.”

“Right-o, Johnny. We’ll buck the
line together. After dinner you trot
your plan of campaign and I’ll trot out
mine; then we’ll tear them apart, se-
lect the best pieces of each and weld
them into a perfect whole.”

Accordingly, dinner disposed of,
father and son sat: down together to
prepare the plan of campaign. For
the space of several minutes a silence
settled between them, the while they
puffed meditatively upon their cigars.
Then the old man spoke.

“We‘ll have to ﬁght him
dark."

“Why?”

“Because if Pennington knows, or
even suspects the identity of the man
who is going to parallel his logging
railroad, he will throw all the weight

in the

 
of his truly capable mind, his wealth .

and his ruthlessness against you—and
you will be smashed. To beat that
man, you must do more than spend
money.
him, outwork him, outgame him, and
when eventually you have wou, you’ll
know you’ve been in the ﬁght of your
career. You have one advantage
starting out. The Colonel doesn’t
think you have the courage to parallel
his road in the ﬁrst place; in the sec-
ond place, he knows you haven’t the
money; and in the third place he is
morally certain you cannot borrow it,
because you haven’t any collateral to
secure your note.

“We are. mortgaged now to the
limit, and our ﬂoating indebtedness is
very large; on the face of things and
according to the Colonel’s very correct
inside information, we’re helpless; and
unless the lumber—market stiffens very
materially this year, by the time our
hauling-contract with Pennington's
road expires, we’ll be back where we
were yesterday before we sold the
Giants. Pennington regards’ that hun-
dred thousand as get-away money for
us. So, all things considered, the
Colonel, will be slow to suspect us of
having an ace in the hole; but by
jinks we have it, and we’re going to
play it.”

“No," said Bryc‘e, “we’re going to
let somebody else play it for us. The
point you make——to wit, that we must
remain absolutely in the background——
is well taken."

“Very well,” agreed the old man.
“Now let us proceed to the next point.
You must engage some reliable engi-
neer to look over the proposed route
of the road and give us an estimate
of the cost of construction."

“For the sake of argument we will
consider that done, and that the esti-
mate comes within the scope of the
sum Gregory is willing to advance
us.”

“Your third step, then, will be to
incorporate a railroad company, under
the laws of the State of California."

“I think I’ll favour the fair State of
New Jersey with our trade,” Bryce
suggested dryly. “I notice that when

Pennington bought out the Henderson

interests and reorganized that prOperty
he inCorporated the Laguna Grande
Lumber Company under the laws of
the State of New Jersey, home of the
trusts. There must be some advan-
tage connected with such a course.”

11L ﬂCRES-ﬂl say: “The CowsaDon’t C/zew Gum, T/zey C/mw Tobacco.”

You will have to outthinkr

“Have it your own way, boy. What’s
good enough for the Colonel is good
enough for us. Now, then, you are
going to incorporate a company to
build a .road twelve miles longg—and a
private road, at that. That would be
a fatal step. Pennington would know
somebody was going to build a log
ging-road, and regardless of who the
builders were, he would have to ﬁght
them in self protection. How are you
going to cover your trail, my son?”

Bryce pondered. “I will, to begin,
have a dummy board of directors.
Also, my road cannot be private; it
must be a common carrier, and that’s
where the shoe pinches. Common
carriers are subject to the rules and
regulations of the Railroad Commis-
sion."

“They are wise and just rules,"
commented the old man, “expensive
to obey at times, but quite necessary.
We can obey and still be happy. Ob<
jection overruled."

“Well, then, since we must be a
common carrier, we might as well
carry our deception still further and
incorporate for the purpose‘of build-
ing a road from Sequoia tm Grant’s
Pass, Oregon, there to connect with
the Southern Paciﬁc."

John Cardigan smiled. “The old
dream revived, eh? Well, the old
jokes always bring a hearty laugh.
People will laugh at your company,
because folks up this way realize that
the construction cost of such a road
is prohibitive, not to mention the cost
of maintenance, which would be tre-
mendous and out of all proportion to
the freight area tapped.” '

“Well, since we’re not going to
build more than twelve miles of our
road during the next year, and prob—
ably not more than ten miles addition-
al during the present century, we
won’t worry over it. It doesn’t cost
a cent more to procure a franchise to
build a road from here to the‘moon.
If we fail to build to Grant’s Pass, our
franchise to build the uncompleted
portion of the road merely lapses and
we hold only that portion which we
have constructed. That’s all we want
to hold." 1‘

“How about rights of way?"

“They will cost us very little, if
anything. Most of the landowners
along the proposed route will give us
rights of way free gratis and for noth-
ing, just to encourage the lunatics.
Without a railroad the land is value-

 
less; and as a common carrier they
know we can condemn rights of way
capriciously withheld—something we
cannot do as ,a private road. More-
over, deeds to rights of way can be
drawn with a time-limit, after which
they revert to the original owners."

“Good strategy, my 8011! And cer-
tainly as a common carrier we will be
welcomed by the farmers and cattle
men along our short line. 'We can
handle their freight without much an—
noyance .and perhaps at a slight
proﬁt.”

“Well, that about completes the
rough outline of our plan. The next
thing to do is to start and keep right
on moving, for as old Omar has it,
‘The bird of time hath but a little

way to ﬂutter,’ and the birdshot is ‘ '

catching up with him. We _ haVe a.
year in which to build our road; if
we do not hurry, the mill will have to
shut down for lack of logs, when our
contract with Pennington expires.”
“You forget the manager for our
new corporation—the vice-president
and general manager. The man we
engage must be the fastest and most
convincing talker in California; not
only must he be able to tell a lie with
a straight face, but he must be able
to believe his own lies. And he must
talk in millions, look millions, and act

as if a million dollars were equivalent-

in value to a redwood stump. In ad-
dition, he must be a man of real abil-
ity and a person you can trust ink
plicitly."

.“I have, the very man you mentibn.
His name is Buck Ogilvy and only this
very day I received a letter from him
begging me for a small loan. I have
Buck on ice in a ﬁfth—class San Fran
cisco hotel." .

“Tell me about him, Bryce."

“Don’t have to. You’ve just told me
about him. However, I’ll read you his
letter. I claim there is more char-
acter in a letter than in a face.”

Here Bryce read aloud:

My Dear Cardigan: Hark to the
voice of one crying in the wilderness;
then picture to yourself the unlovely

utter Slg‘ﬂl cries of unadulteratedjoz;
and a undred would inspire me to
actions like unto those of a whirling
dervlsh.

I am so ﬂat busted my arches make
hollow sounds as i tread the ‘

 
‘ pavements of a great city, seeking a

job. Pausing on the brink of despair,
that destiny which shapes our ends
inspired me to think of old times and
happier days and particularly of that
pink-and—white midget of a girl who
tended the soda-fountain just back of
the railroad station at Princeton. You
stole that damsel from me, and I never

thanked you. Then I remembered you,

were a timber-king with a kind heart
and that you lived somewhere in Cali—

fornia; so I looked in the telephone

book and found the address of. the San
Francisco ofﬁce of the Cardigan Red~
wood Lumber Company. You have a
mean man in charge there. I called
on. him, told him I was an old college
pal of yours, and tried to borrow a
dollar. He spurned me with con-
tumely—so ”much of it, in fact, that I
imagine you have a number of such
friends. While he was abusing me, i
stole from his desk the stamped en-
velope which bears to you these tid-
ings of great woe; and while awaiting
your reply,be advised thatlsubsist on
the bitter cud of reﬂection, fresh air,
and water, all of which, thank God;
cost nothing.

My tale is soon told. When you
knew me last, I was a prosperous
young contractor. Alas! I put all my
eggs in one basket and produced an
omelet. Took a contract to build a
railroad in Honduras. Honduras got to
ﬁghting with Nicaragua; the govern:
ment 1 had done business with went
out of business; and the Nicaraguan
army recruited all my labourers and
mounted them on my mules and
horses, swiped my grub, and told me
to go home. I went. Why stay?
Moreover, I had an incentive consist-
ing of about an inch of bayonet—for-
tunately not applied in a vital spot—
,‘which accelerated rather than de-
creased my speed.

Hurry, my dear Cardigan. Tempest

Make it a hundred, and God will

to Sequoia and kiss you. I’ll pay you
back sometime—oi course.

John Cardigan chuckled. "I'd take

Buck Ogilvy, Bryce. He’ll do. Is be
honest?”

. “I. don't know. He was, the last
time I saw him.”

“Then wire. him a hundred. Don’t
wait for the mail. The steamer that
carries your letter might be wrecked
and your friend Ogilvy forced to
steal.”

“I have already wired him the hun-
dred. In all probability he is now out
whirling like a dervish.”

"Good boy! Well, I think we’ve
planned suﬂicient for the present,
Bryce. You’d better leave for San
Francisco to-morrow and close your
deal with Gregory. Arrange with him
to leave his own representative with
Ogilvy to keep tab on the job, check
the bills, and pay them as they fall
due; and above all things, insist that
Gregory shall place the money in a
San Francisco bank, subject to the
joint check of his representative and

CHAPTER XXII.

HEN Bryce Cardigan walked
W down the gangplank at the
steamship-dock in San Francis-
co, the ﬁrst face he saw among the
waiting crowd was Buck Ogilvy’s. Mr.
Ogilvy wore his overcoat and a joyous
smile, proving that in so far as he was
concerned all was well with the world;
he pressed forward and thrust forth a
great speckled paw for Bryce to shake.
Bryce ignored it. '
“Why, don‘t you remember me?”
Ogilvy demanded. "I’m Buck Ogilvy.”

BOOKCASE should be as much a part of your house as
your books zinc a part of your life. This bookcase will
be a beautiful partof your home today and equally as attractive
to the next generation. Your children will grow up to love
it, and link it with the treasures that it holds. There may
be the books that father bought and hoped his children would
later read, besides your own well-thumbcd volumes of favorite
nursery rhymes.

When you plan your house, you can provide a permanent
place for your books with Curtis Woodwork. The time to
put in a bookcase is when your house is built.

This is bookcase C-S75. You can have it, just as you can
have china. closets, mantels, Sideboards, buffets, kitchen
dressers, dining alcoves, bedroom dressing tables and tray
cases, stairs, doors, windows, and interior trini, built into
your house as an integral part of the house itself, a part of
the very structure.

This Colonial bookcase is designed to harmonize with all
the other Colonial woodwork in a Colonial type of house.

Curtis Woodwork is designed by Trowbridgc 8: Ackerman,
architects, of N cw York, who designed and plannrd a large
number of houses to be built with
interior and exterior Curtis Wood-
work. These houses range from
three to eight rooms and are dc-
vclopcd in four architectural cx«
pressions~Colonial, English,
Westcm, and Southern. Appro-

priatc woodwork is designed for each type of house.

A real service to the prospective house builder, especially
to those with modest means, who have not always been able
to gratify their good taste, goes with the use of Curtis
Woodwork.

Curtis Woodwork is standardized in designs and sizes and
is produced in quantities. The cost of production is thus
brought down, and the cost to you is accordingly lower.

All designs of Curtis Woodwork may be seen in the Curtis
Catalog, which your lumber dealer can show you. Your
Curtis dealer can also obtain for you without charge portfolios
of Better Built Homes, designed to include Curtis Woodwork
when built. Or you can send us the coupon with 25 cents
postage (50 cents in Canada), specifying which portfolio you
want. “Better Built Homes,” Volume VI, shows exteriors,
interiors, and ﬂoor plans with complete descriptions of 32
houses of three, four, and ﬁve rooms; Volume VII, of 32
houses of six, seven, and eight rooms; Volume VIII, of 32
houses for farm use. If your plans
for a home are still in the dream
stage, and you feel it is too early
to talk to a lumber (leader, then use
the coupon for securing portfolios
at 25 cents each (50 cents in
Canada.)

proof of that—second year sales of Gillette Tires were
greater than the second year sales of any other tire
ever produced. That tremendous demand was developed
only by actual delivery of greatest mileage at least cost.‘

Gillette Cord Tires, like the hardy old polar, have grit, spirit,
endurance—that take punishment without a whimper.

The exclusive Gillette Chilled Rubber Process toughens rub-
her and develops strength, endurance, recuperative quality
to the highest mileage economy.

The Gillette Cord is built for mileage, and gives it. It has
proper suspension of cords which spreads vibration and strain
evenly over the entire structure of the tire. It has proper re-
siliency. It can have no tread separation. It
can not be affected by heat or cold. It can not
lose its pliancy. It can give you nothing but
easy riding, money-saving mileage on any
car, under any condition.

Bryce nodded and passed on, hailed

to do?”

“Build twelve miles of logging rail-
road and parallel the line of the old
wolf I spoke of a moment ago.”

“Good news! We’ll do it. How soon
do you want it done?” -*
“As soon as possible. You’re ‘the

vice- president and general manager.”
“I accept the nomination. What do

I do first?” ..
“Listen carefully in my story, anal-

“What does your en-.

   
”no my plan for possible weak spots,
" and then get busy, because after I
have provided the funds and given the
word ‘Go!’ the rest is up to you. I
must not be known in the transaction
at all, because that would be fatal.
And I miss my guess if, once» we start
,building or advertising the building of
the road, you and I and everybody con-
nected with the enterprise will not be
shadowed day and night by an army
of Pinker-tons.” .

“I listen,” said Buck Ogilvy, and he
inclined at large speckled ear in Bryc‘e’s
direction, the while his large speckled
hand drew a scratch-pad toward him.

Three hours later Ogilvy was in pos~
session of the most minute details of
the Situation in Sequoia, had tabulated,
indexed, and cross-indexed them in his
ingenious brain and was ready for bus-
iness—~and so announce himself. “And
inasmuch as that hundred you sent me
has been pretty well shattered,” he
concluded, “suppose you call in your
cold-hearted manager who refused me
alms on your credit, and give him or-
ders to honor my sight-drafts. If I’m
to light in Sequoia looking like ready
money, I’ve got to have some high
class. tailor-made clothes, and a shine
and a shave and a shampoo and a trunk
and a private secretary. 11' there was
a railroad running into Sequoia, I’d in-

‘sisl on a private car.”

This final detail having been attend-
ed to. Mr. Ogilvy promptly proceeded
to forget business and launched forth
into a recital of; his manifold adven~
tures since leaving Princeton; and
when a‘ length all of their classmates
had been accounted for and listed as
.(lozul. married, prosperous, or pauper—
ized. the amiable and highly entertain-
ing Buck took his departure with the
announcermnt that he would look
around a little and try to buy some
good secondhand grading rquipment
and a locomotive, in addi ion to cast;
ing an eye over the labor situation and
sending a few wires cast for the pur—
pose of sounding the market on steel
rails. Always an enthusiast in all
things, in his mind’s .eye Mr. Ogilvy
could already ste a long trainload of
log: coming down the Northern Cali-
fornia 6’: Oregon Railroad, as he and
Bryce had decided to Christen the ven-
lure.

‘N. C. & 0.,” Mr. Ogilvy murmured.
“Sounds brisk and snappy. I like it.
Hope that old hunks Pennington likes
it, too. He’ll probably feel that N. C.
& 0. stands for Northern California
Outrage.”

Daniel Thompson says they should
have a law compelling the inspection
of automobiles before'they go in the
country at night. No cars should be
passed that do not have plenty of gas,
a tire patch and a pump. Daniel works
hard in the ﬁeld all day and is getting
tired having to dress and lay on his
back under his car after midnight to
drain out enough gas to get some joy
rider back to the city.

Some folks should never park their
little four-cylinder Nubbin next to a
Bullion super—six. It "makes them en-
vious owing to the unfortuante com-
parison that results. A little Nubbin
is just as nice to look out of as a big

Bullion and it don’t take so much gas. .

But it helps to keep a man satisﬁed if
he always parks the little Nubbin near
some other cheap looking buss rather
than by the big Bullion.

Billy Peterson fell in the mud last
week up to his ankles. It .wouldn’t
have caused any trouble but he was
wrong side up. Some folks say that it
served Billy right, as he is always
doing some playful stunt like drop-
ping his sister in the cistern to hear
her splash or putting a cold frog in
his grandfather’s bed.

of wheat, the farms are short of labor. Fertilizer is

this can only be done by starting earlier. Why‘

son’s home we visited Donald Shepard,
the super—breeder and club member,
who has recently purchased a pure
Scotch Shorthorn heifer. Donald has
a ﬁne Poland China sow and family of
pigs, ﬂock of Shropshire sheep, White
Wyandotte chickens and New Zeeland
Red rabbits. Last fall he trimmed some
of the old exhibitors of live stock at
the Eaton County Fair, and this year
club members are not going to be giv-
en a chance to show in the breeding
classes. Young Shepard is going to
enter some of his stock in the breed-
ing classes and let some of his boy
friends make up the club exhibits. He
is an ’enthusiastic club member and a
leader among the boys.

Another club project is the Good
Luck Canning Club, of West Carmel.
Agnes Martin, a member of the club
for two years, is now leader for the
younger girls. She has developed two
demonstration teams of exceptional
ability for demonstrating the cold-pack

A. C., judged the work and scored them
very high in team work and neatness
of canning. Interest of the entire com-
munity is being shOWn in the work and
the meetings are well attended. The
members of the Good Luck Club are
Madeline Smith, Burhana Smith, Dor-
othy Dean, Venda Ransom, Helen Bust,
Ruby Clay.

.OIL and fertilizer experiments and

alfalfa and soy bean demonstra-
tions are being conducted on many
farms under the direction of County
Agent Decker. One of the most val-
uable series of experiments is the one
with alfalfa for determining the rela-
tive hardiness of Grimm, Cossack, Com-
mon and Lis'comb in withstanding the
Michigan winters. Poultry culling dem-
onstrations are being given due atten-
tion, and Mr. Decker‘wip make them a.

prominent feature of his work this

summer.

Another project that is being work-
ed out by Mr. Decker is that of the

cheron horses. He has a ﬁnely equip.
ped plant and a highly productiver
farm. Mr. King feeds about eighteen
hundred sheep, at carload hof cattle and
two hundred hogs each year. The farm
consists of one hundred and seventy'
acres, deyoted primarily to growing
roughage for live stock. Several car-
loads of cull beans are fed to the
sheep and hogs each year. Among the
Percheron horses are some of the ﬁn-
est work teams the writer has found
in Michigan. These mares are used for
farm work and yield a double income.
Mr. King is feeding his fattening hogs
an exclusive ration of cull beans and
has promised to give the readers of
the Michigan Farmer a summary of his
results at the'end of the feeding pe‘
riod. Figures of this kind should prove
valuable, inasmuch as only a few feed-
ers have kept as complete records

when feeding cull beans to fattening
hogs.

Over near Potterville we visited
Blank & Potter, breeders of Duroc J er—
sey swine and feeders of lambs. Here
We found about tWenty excellent brood '
sows, including Brookwater Jane 41,
one of the tbest sows of the breed in
Michigan. The head of the herd is Oak.- «
land Premier Chief, fourth in junior

yearling class at the International last ' ' "

year Mr. Blank is an experienced '
stockman and feeds more than a tho

 
“car ' oi." his lambs sold for ﬁfty cents
per hundred above the top,at Buffalo.
The farm consists of three himdred
_- and twenty acres and the crop grow-

‘mg system is based upon the produc-
' tionpf feed crops for lambs and hogs.

G. P. Phillips, of Bellevue, owns and
Operates a splendid stock farm and
breeds Shorthorn cattle, O. I. C. hogs,
Shropshire sheep and- Barred Rock
chickens. Mr. Phillips was not at
home, but his farm and stock showed
indications of careful breeding and
good care and management. '

l . Another interesting visit was at the
c) 5’ farm of Marshall. Kelly a few miles
‘ out of Charlotte. At Mr. Kelly’s farm
we examined a ﬁne herd of Aberdeen
Angus cattle, and looked over one of
the real outstanding yearling bulls of
3* the season. Hevis a son of Lapeer
I > Blackbird and out of Marguerite Carlo.
During the past year the-herd has‘

\\ been reduced to about twenty head.
and will not be exhibited at the fairs
this fall. The diﬂiculty of securing
competent help and preparing the an-
imals for the fall circuit has discour-
aged Mr. Kelly from making the rounds.
A few miles from Charlotte we spent

a short time at Wood View Farm,
where Carl Hitchcock breeds register-
ed Holstein cattle. At present his herd'

Another Holsteinbreeding farm vis . w...” ,

where we found one of the most prom-

well-known herd of T. W. Sprague, of

@se‘a Fordsori Tractor
and a Little Giant Belts

Not only does the making of cnsilage furnish a
supply of exceptionally good, economical feed for
live stock but it clears the corn ﬁeld for an early
start the next season. It’s another step toward
more efﬁcient, more proﬁtable farming.

And when you belt your Fordson to your ensilage
cutter, be sure it’s a Little Giant tractor belt
that transmits the power. Little Giant belts are
specially designed for exclusive use with the
Fordson and combine the features that: enable
the tractor to develop a steady, even ﬂow of
unfailing power through its belt pulley.

The Little Giant grips the pulley like the clutch of a
giant hand. There is no slippage and wastage of
power even when the ensilage cutter is overloaded.
The Little Giant is an endless belt so there is no
pulling out of belt ends and no delays for relacing.
The Little Giant is a special treated, canvas belt
and 1S unaffected by the moisture, heat and ex-
posure a belt must meet in farm work. An exclusive
feature is the extra stitching which resists the effects
of edge wear and greatly lengthens the life of the belt.

You can buy a Little Giant from your local
Fordson dealer—save the expense and delay of
sending away for a belt. Ask your Fordson
dealer to show you a Little Giant belt, or write
us direct for complete information.

MEMORY- VS. IMAGINATION

 
“When my boy was only four years
old, I began to punish him every time
he told a lie. It took great persist-

ence to cure him, but now he is the:

most truthful child you ever knew.
You can depend upon his word every
time.” The father spoke with great
pride, ignorant that the merry little
lad next door who was the companion
of his own sullen boy had also passed
through three years of “romancing"
but with no punishment for lying and
consequently no unhappy memories to
carry into later life.

Every little child passes through a
mental stage when he ﬁnds it difﬁcult
if not impossible to distinguish ' be-
tween memory and imagination.——Na-

’ CANNlNG CORN on THE cos. '

 
I would like to know the best
method of preserving sweet com. I
have heard of packing the corn (on
the cob) in a barrel and pouring in a
brine. Do you- know it this is satis-
factory, and if so, how much salt is
required? A. W. C.

I have never heard of packing corn
in a brine. The only method I have
which is recommended by experts is
cold pack. To can on the cob. remove
husks and silk, blanch (plunge into
boiling water), ﬁve minutes. Remove
and plunge at once into cold water.
Pack in sterilized jars, and one tea-
spoon of salt and one of sugar, ﬁll
with boiling water. When all the cans
have been ﬁlled and entered into the
canner, cover the canner and boil four
hours. Remove, screw tops on tight,
invert to see if they leak, and store
in a dark, place. Water in the canner
should be kept an inch above the tops
of the cans and be boiling all the
time. Can off the cob the same way,
cutting the corn off the cob with a
thin, sharp knife after it has been
blanched and plunged into cold water.

Most everybody likes ice cream and
it is a good food for most anyone, too.
Here is a very handy way to make
without a freezer. Whip the cream,
add sugar and ﬂavoring. In freezing
Weather put outdoors in a covered

farmer can succeed with sheep during

Then the chief problems are housing
and feeding, but throughout the great
corn belt states and further south,
plans must be made to guard against
parasite infection. ,

these precautions during the period

will be little danger of the lambs be-

weather that the worms develop fast
and the lambs become infested.

Soy beans sown with corn have given
excellent results in many feeding ex-
periments. . It is very important that
both the ewes and lambs have plenty
of good feed during the last summer
and early autumn. The ewes will
breed more regularly if they are in
good condition at mating time, and the
lambs will make better gains when fed

early winter. Pasture crops make
cheaper gains than grain feeds, conse-
quently every effort should be made to
bring the ewes and lambs through the
pasture season in good condition.

UPPER PENINSULA FARMERS’
ROUND—UP.

LANS have been completed for the
Second National Farmers’ Round-
up at the Upper Peninsula Experiment
Station at Chatham, Michigan, on Au-
gust 11-12. Superintendent D. L. Mc-
Millan, of the Chatham Station, advis—
es us that this round-up promises to
be the greatest agricultural meeting
that has ever been pulled off in the
upper peninsula. A large number of
farmers are expected to attend from
every county in the upper peninsufa,
and .a few from lower Michigan and
Wisconsin. All the different agribul-
tural organizations in the upper penin-
sula are cooperating with the station
in putting on the program. We think
probably it is their plan to put on a
two-days' summer camp for their mem-
bers. This camp is to be situated on
the station farm.

The ﬁrst day with the boys will be
a day of special instruction in live
stock and crops work to ﬁnish up the
preliminary work that has been done
with. the different clubs in their re-
spective counties preparatory to take
their ﬁnal live stock judging work 0n
the following day. As a special in-
ducement for very careful work, valu-
able live stock prizes have been offer-
ed by the station. The team winning
the ﬁrst prize in all the live stock work
will be sent to Detroit to the State
Fair to compete with other clubs in
live stock work there.

The Home Demonstration Agents
and the Girls’ Club Leaders are plan-
ning a special program for the two
days for the women and girls. The
county agents, under the direction of
Mr. J. W. Weston, have planned a. com.
plete program for their work.

Alger county is making extensive
preparations to entertain the large
crowd that is anticipated, to a big
barbecue dinner for the noon hour of
the twelfth. They have ordered an
eight-hundred—pound ox for the occa-
sion and Mr. Deagon, the prison chef,
will have charge of the feed. Their
menu is meat, baked beans, mashed
potatoes, buns, sweet corn, ice cream,
and coffee, '

During the forenoon, stump blasting
demonstrations will be in operation,
also dairy demonstrations in charge of
Mr. J. A. Waldron, dairy specialist
from the college, sheep and hog dem-
onstrations in charge of Professor
George Brown, crops demonstrations
in charge of G. W. Putnam, Cr0ps Ex-
perimenter 0f the Upper Peninsula Ex—
periment Station, and Home Econom-
ics Work in change of Home Demon—
stration Leaders.

Directly after the big barbecue din—
ner a speaking program will be given.
On this program are President F. S.
Kedzie, Dean R. S. Shaw, Director R.
J. Baldwin, Hon. Jason Woodman, Dr.
Eben Mumford, Mr. R. A. Turner, of"

a. handicraft demonstration given by
the McMillan Handicraft Club. On the
night of the eleventh the Alumni As

gin stocking up a. mammoth tract of

Michigan near Cadillac. The ﬁrm has
bought about 18,000 acres of stumpage
lands and plans on purchasing 10.000
acres more, it is stated by E. V. Mei--
gan, who is manager of Morris & Co.’s
Michigan ranch interests. It is the
plan to fence the tracts of land as
quickly as the wire fencing can be pur-
chased. The plan at ﬁrst was to stock
the lands with sheep and build up a
ﬂock of possibly more than 100,000
head. The shortage of wire has caused
a change in the plan, and it is now
likely that tlle tracts will be ﬁrst stock-
ed with cattle.

Bunches on Body—My eight-year—old
mare is troubled with bunches on body,
which are much like the result of bee
sting. She seems to be in good health.
}-I. W. 11., Holland, Mich—Alive her one
dram of potassium iodide in drinking
water twice a day. Feed her plenty
of grass and perhaps less grain. ’

Rheulnatism-w-Soreness.—Am a sub-
scriber t0 the Michigan Farmer and
always take quite an interest in the
veterinary department, and often ﬁnd
useful information about stock. Have
a cow twelve years old that showed
some soreness before she was turned
out to grass, but now she is worse, es-
pecially since she was bred. 1 fed her
ensilage with almost ripe corn, before
she was turned to pasture. She is
milking fairly well, but is very stiff.
P. A. M., l’etoskey, Mich—Give her a
teaspoonful of nitrate of potash in
feed or in drinking water twice a day.
Are you sure that she is not foot—sore?
If so, stand her in wet clay two hours
daily.

Sow Fails to Come in Heat.——I have
a sow that was bred February 7; has
not been in heat since, but has not
had any pigs. Can you tell me why
she failed to breed? A. E. 8., Lowell,
Mich—There are many, causes why
she might not get with pig, 1 don’t
know which. It will not pay you to
keep her for breeding purposes.

Bacterial Navel Infection—We have
some little suckling pigs troubled with
joint swellings, causing considerable
lameness. H. 11. H., Moscow, Mich.—
The sow's udder and navel of young
pigs should be cleaned at farrowing
time; furthermore, the sow should be
kept in a clean place; if so, the young
pigs would do better. Paint swollen
joints with tincture of iodine three
times a week. Give the sow ten grains
of sodium salicylate at a dose twice a
day. ‘

Open Joint~lnfected Joint—About
two weeks ago my two-year-old colt
got. kicked on stifle joint, the joint.
soon commenced to discharge joint oil,.
now considerable pus comes from
wound. Cur Veterinarian tells me the
colt will always have a stiff joint. G.
F. l-I.~Occasionally, paint joint with
tincture of iodine and give colt good
care is about all that can be done.
Your Veterinarian should irrigate
joint thoroughly, using a solution of
biniodide of mercury; this might de—
stroy the “joint” infection.

Lamenitis.—Two years ago I pur-
chased a black gelding that was some
footsore or tender in both fore feet

CONSOLIDATED “SCHOOLS.

(Continued from page 142).,
munity gatherings. In one such school
in upper Michigan besides patriotic
and social meetings,_two different de-
nominations hold Sunday School,
Catholic services are held twice a
month, and 'a Methodist minister
preaches‘there regiilarly. ,Many more
beneﬁts of the consolidatled school
might be described. They are not
theories or imaginings. However, we
compare the two systems the consoli-
ated school is far the best. Why then
should we wait for a few districts or
townships at a time to adopt the sys-
tem? Some form of legislation which
would establish consolidation in every
county in the state would hasten the
day of better schools. Many of our
voters say: “Yes, it’s. a ﬁne thing,
but it costs more than the old way.”
Yes, it costs more, of course, but the
returns are so much more. Consid-
ering everything, the cost is not so
great either. Anyway, can we afford
not to do this for our boys and girls
whom we wish to keep on the farm
to take our places in a few years?
Farming today is not what it was in
our grandfather’s time and the agri~
culture of tomorrow Will not be what
it is now. Let us give our boys and
girls the practical knowledge and
training they need. to competé in the
world of scientiﬁc farming which they

will enter. Let .us educate them to a
whole-hearted acceptance of the
Country Boys' and Girls’ Creed,

which let me quote below, and decide
in our own minds at least “we must
have consolidated schools.” Follow-
ing is the “Country Boys." Creed.”

“I believe that the country which

' God made is more beautiful than the

city which man made; that life out—
of-doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. I believe
that work with nature is more inspir-
ing than work with the most. intricate
machinery. I believe that theydignity
of labor depends, not, on what you do
but how you do it; that opportunity
comes to a boy on the farm as often
as to a boy in the city; that life is
larger and from and happier on the
farm than in the town; that my sue
cess depends, not upon my location
but upon myself; not upon my dreams
but upon What I actually do; not upon
luck but upon pluck. I believe in
working when you work and in play-
ing when you play. and in giving and

of life.”

GROWING DEMAND FOR FILMS.

 
HE supplying of good ﬁlm for non—

theatrical use is not nearly equal
to the demand, although millions of
feet are available. The call upon the
part of schools, colleges, community
centers, churches, and other organiza-
tions is tremendous. For instance.
there is one concern, the Bureau of
Commercial Economics in Washington,
D. C., which supplies programs free
to more than one thousand highl
schools, while a number of agricultural
colleges and university extension de-
partments are furnishing free ﬁlms.
Possibly the best educational agri-
cultural ﬁlms 111ade, are those of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. It has more than seventy pic-
tures of one to four reels in length
which to date have received very re-
stricted distribution through the coun-
ty agricultural agents. This limited
use was necessary because of lack of
funds with which to make prints from
its negatives

Prices are a little lower and the sup-
ply is sufficient to meet. the demand.
Virginia No. 1 steel: is quoted at $7.75
@8 per barrel in jobbing lots.

WOOL ‘

Growers and dealers are of the opin-
ion that ﬁne wools will continue to
predominate in the demand and are
planning accordingly. As the propor-
tion of ﬁne wools is smaller this year
than last it is suggested that another

’ scramble for the best grades will en—

   
sue if demand is lacking for fabrics
made from lower grades.
