Expanding the Dairy Industry





OTOR trucks have solved the problem of



connecting up the dairy farm with the city



, consumers of milk and cream. Whenvthe



[milk is shipped by motor truck there is no delay at



country shipping stations, no expense for. the load-



ing and unloading at city milk terminals, and the



consumers in¢he city are sure of an adequate supply



of milk and cream regardless of delayed milk trains

and, congested city terminals.





:2??? Large'ic'reankry'companies have found the





motor truck indispensable in developing new dairy





'liteIrritory,’ andfor hauling their butter and other





products 'tothe best "markets within a radiusof sixty





or seventy miles from their plants. Carefully con-

ducted tests have convinced these shrewd creamery

managers that if they are to hold their best custom—

ers in near-by cities and Villages they must :deliver

their productspromptly and in good condition. Ice

cream manufacturers have also found it possible to

expand their business through the use of motor

trucks for gathering their milk and cream, and for

making deliveries to their trade. The motor truck

has solved the problem of expanding the great

dairy industry, of the country in new territories and





bringing the dairy cow nearer to the consumer’s





‘ table.

CURRENT COMMENT





HE season has ar-



rived when Mich-

igan farmers should

be carefully consider-

ing the proposition of

winter feeding of live

stock. While the future outlook for

live stock prices is somewhat uncer-

tain at the present time, so is'the out-

look for forage and grain prices, and

where a surplus of forage and grain is

available, it will pay to carefully con-

sider the proposition of feeding this up

on the farm rather than to sell it off

in its original form or carry it over to

another season when products of this

kind are likely to be cheaper.



Live stock feeding on a large scale

is an uncertain business, generally of-

fering small margins of profit rather

than a large return, where it is con-

ducted on a commercial scale and the

foods as well as the stock are purchas-

ed on the open market. Carried on in

a small way and as a side line, merely

as a means of disposing of home-grown

feeds economically and at the same

time retaining their fertilizing value

on the farm, it is a much more attrac-

tive and stable proposition.



Under old methods of marketing the

small feeder was largely at the mercy

of the local drover when the time came

to market his product, and the feeder

of less than carload lots was at a great

disadvantage in this regard. But with

the development of live stock shipping

associations all over the state this

handicap has been removed to a very

great extent, and the farmer with a

few head of stock to sell can market

them to practically as good advantage

as his neighbor who has a. carload or

more.



The cooperative shipping service

should also be utilized in the matter of

securing feeding stock where this must

be purchased to consume home-grown

feeds. In the past altogether too much

live stock has gone to market from

practically every community in Michi-

gan in a condition far better adapted

to further feeding than to conversion

into meat. Practically every year at

the close of the pasturing season there

is a glut of this kind of live stock on

the local market. Some of this is pur-

chased by feeders and shipped back to

the country, while much of it is sacri-

ficed at a price which is unprofitable

to the seller. It would be far better

economy if this unfinished live stock

could be kept in the country until bet-

ter fit to market, and if the double

freight and handling charge could be

saved on that which ultimately finds its

way back to the feed yards.



, ,any farmer who finds that he could

“dilator shouldjako the proposition

ping association. Pos'sibly Just the

kind and amount of stock which he

needs could be picked up in'tho local

community from _ other farmers who

are not in a position to feed them.

If the local demand is greater. than the

local supply, the manager of the coop-

erative shipping association could

doubtless purchase in carload lots from

other similar organizations in sections

where the supply was greater than the

demand, or if the point were not too

distant, the stock could be delivered on

foot and theshipping charge saved.

Managed in this way many a farmer

would make a nice little profit from a

small feeding operation, thus market-

ing his coarse feed to the best advan:

tags and in many cases saving him the

labor cost of handling his corn crop.

Where cattle are fed, shock corn can

be used for the purpose at a very COD:

siderablc saving in labor which would

add to the profit of the operation.

Where hogs are fed careful considera-

tion should be given to the possibili-

ties; of hogging down the corn, thus

saving the entire labor cost of harvest-

ing it, which under present conditions

is a very considerable item and in it-

self might make the feeding operation

profitable if a fair price can be gotten

from the crop in this way, as many

farmers have found could be done.





While as above noted, the outlook

for live stock prices is necessarily

Somewhat uncertain, yet fromrcareful

surveys made in the corn belt states

with regard-to the amount of live stock

which will be fed this year as com-

pared to 1919, the indications are for

considerably reduced feeding opera-

tions. This is particularly true with

regard to cattle, doubtless owing to the

fact that many commercial cattle feed-

ers' lost heavily in their last year’s op-

erations. But in this regard the small

feeder has the advantage of the large

commercial feeder, in that his costs

are much less, that he can utilize a

cheaper grade of stock with no accum-

ulated freight and handling charges to

increase his cost, and that he will not

ordinarily feed for a. high finish which

is generally sought by the commercial

feeders, and which under the market

conditions that prevailed last spring

is certain to increase the loss in the

same proportion that it would increase

the profit when well finished animals

bring a high premium.



Under the conditions which seem

likely to obtain during the coming

year, there is every reason to believe

that cheaper cuts of meat will continue

to be in demand, and that cattle such

as the ordinary farmer will find avail-

able in his community or at some near-

by point, with such finish as he can

give them with moderate feeding on

animdls fed at greater cost. While

winter feeding on a liniited scale is al-

ways worthy of the Consideration of

any farmer who has a surplus of home-

grown feods, there {is more than ordi-

nary reason why this should be the

case with Michigan farmers during this

season.





N a year like the



present when 'there

is a profusion of fruit

and a surplus of many

kinds of vegetables on

almost every farm.

more attention ought to be given to

the marketing of this surplus, which is

a comparatively small item for the in-

dividual farmer, but which under pres-

ent conditions results in a large aggre-

gate waste of wholesome food. For

example, very many farmers had had a

surplus of earlyapples for which they

had no market and many will have a

surplus of fall apples. In many cases

the 'same farmers have more grapes

and possibly more plums and pears

than they need for their own use.



This surplus on any individual farm

may not be large enough to pay the

farmer to make a special effort to haul

As many of our readers; know, the

fort on the palt of err-President J. '1‘.

Danielle of the Michigan State Asso-

ciation of Farmers’ Clubs, who through

the backing of that organization and

of the Michigan State Grange, secured

a. legislative designation of the day,

and by his further effort secured its

general observance in many communi-

ties throughout the state. He is still

working untiringly for its general ob-

servance, as are many others whom he

has enlisted in this cause. Let us each

vision could be made where there is a.

cooperative elevator in the community

to assemble this surplus of fruit and

trucked to some' nearby market the re-

turn would ‘be well worth while and

HERE is evidence on all sides that

the people of Michigan are deeply

' interested in nut culture. Some

. have invested in pecan lands in the

Far South; no doubt some own Per-

sian (English) walnut, almond or fil-

bert orchards on the Pacific Coast;

' and others are at the .point of planting

nut trees in Michigan. Everybody

rwould go nutting in fall if he could.



Michigan leads all other northern



states in what its institutions and



some of its people have done toward

developing the nut industry.

SOme thirty years ago the Lake

Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad

Company showed its interest in nut

production, ‘when it planted many

miles of chestnut trees along its tracks

running north from Adrian. Between

1888 and 1892 there were planted 0n

the grounds of the sub-experiment sta-

tion .at South Haven, a number of

‘pecan trees of Iowa and Mississippi

7 seed, Japanese walnuts, a number of

U fllbert plants and a collection of al-

., mond varieties. At about the same

_ time, Prof. 1L. H. Bailey set out a hal'f



Q ' dozen pecans and' Japanese walnut

l trees on the campus of the Michigan



. Agricultural College. Later, Professor

‘ .‘g 'L. R. Taft added several seedling Per-

sian (English) walnut trees to the

1:?" 1 group.



In traveling over the southern part

of Michigan, one cannot go far with-

out seeing signs of int‘erest'in nut

trees. Everywhere the black walnut

has been spared or planted. In cer-

tain sections it is to be found about

practically every farm house. or at

least near enough by to furnish the

winter supply of the family nuts. The

chestnut is less common in any part

of the state than is the black walnut,

not appearing to any considerable ex-

tent except in the lower southeastern

_ corner. It has not fared well in the

‘ E: state either as a native or planted tree.

last we know, doing well on‘ the pri-

vate grounds of Dr. Robert T. Merris,





" near Stammrd, Conn.





MQNG the kinds of nut trees from





which we can select varieties for .





planting in Michigan, there are eleven

or more distinct species. With‘ such

a range as this, one might ask, why

not go into nut growing in Michigan

on the same scale as in the growing





,of apples and peaches. There are prob-





ably better reasons why this is not

being done, but two very good ones





are that there are not enough available, able, and by constantly being on the .





trees of good varieties to plant more

than a single orchard of respectable

size in the state; and the other, it

would not pay to put good Michigan

land to nut trees of such varieties as

are now available even though they

could be had.



If nut trees can’t be had and

wouldn’t pay if they could, then why

publish an article in The Michigan

Farmer on “Nuts for Michigan Plant-

ing," is probably what will run through

the minds of most readers of these

lines. It is certainly a logical ques-

tion, but there are at least ten reasons

why nut trees should be plgnted' in'

Michigan.



1. The forests of Michigan have

reached the point of depletion such

that for the sake of future generations,

trees of some kind othen than fruit

must be planted.



2. While planting trees, we may as

well select those capable of perform:

ing more than a single service; in

other words, trees of maximum pos-

sible use. Oaks, poplars, ash‘es, pines,

elms, etc., all have their places, but

not one in the group can produce any-

thing of food value to humankind.



3. Nut trees of most kinds, rightly

used, are valuable for timber purposes

and are very effective in the landscape.



4. Members of the walnut family,

including the hickories, are especially

appropriate along the highways and

city streets. They are sturdy, long-

lived and not easily damaged " by

storms or neighbors’ boys.



5. Nuts are among the very best of

the meat substitutes. They' contain

much of the same food elements as do

meats, although in different propor-

tiOns. SOme contain starch and to

that extent can be used as. are the

cereals and Irish potatoes. Nuts are

the only vegetable product grown in





American block walnut. It is also

.' arousiy y. f .»





Agriculture, Was/zzhgtm, D. C.





 





Michigan, which in raw condition af-

ford a complete and fairly well bal-

aneed food for, human beings. Every

pound of nut food that can be raised

from a tree along the street or in the

fence corner on the farm is clear gain,

and that much added to our national

food supply.



6. Nuts are rapidly assuming im-

portance as factors in the lists of

American foods.





7. Many species of nut trees are

adapted to some parts of Michigan. By

planting the best that are now avail-





100kout for better sorts, superior vari-





eties Will be certain to develop in a





short while, the same as has been the

case with all older orchard fruits and

farm crops.



8. Whoever intelligently plants nut

trees performs a distinct public ser-

vice. He will receive the gratitude of

more than the present generation.



9. Among all kinds of trees, none

are more appropriate for memorial

purposes to the men who did not come

back from France, than is the black

walnut. That species itself took a

valiant part in warfare. It furnished

material for gunstocks the same as in

previous wars, but in the World War

it rendered what was considered by

eminent authority, a greater service in

supplying propellors for aeroplanes.

The shells of the nuts contributed

their part toward the making of car-

bon for gasmasks, and no one knows

the extent to which walnut kernels

made up the delicacies sent from

home to the boys in the trenches.

With such a service record as this,

the black walnut is entitled to a me-

morial of its own. Its value as a tim-

ber tree, as an ornamental, and as a

food producer, together with its great

range of adaptability from North to

South and East to West, should justly

entitle it to recognition as a national

tree. ,



‘ 10. Michigan has a law providing

for the planting of nut trees along its

highways. Thus, the state has official-

ly put its approval on the idea and

has become a leader in the encourage-

ment of this great kind of economy

and thrift. It has taken a step toward

conservation in a direction which is

highly developed in certain parts of

Europe. There, nut and fruit trees

along the highway are cared for and

protected by the pubhp. The product

is sold to the highest bidder and the

income used in the upkeep of the

road system. In that manner the road-

ways of those sections take care of

themselves. In this country millions

of dollars outate and federal moneys

are being used this year (ending June

30, 1921) in the construction and up-

keep of public roads.





Desirable as it would be to accom-

plish these ends, it could not all be

done at once. Even though there were

an abundance of available trees of

tried kinds, it would take a. long time

to plant them and to care for them

until they might Fecome' of profitable

bearing'age, also public opinion would

need to be remolded in order to insure

their care and protection. Still, it can

and will be done. The movement is

already on; the Michigan law began

to operate soon after being passed,

and the Division of Forestry at the Ag-

ricultural College is raising the trees

for planting. Public opinion regard-

ing the care of the trees and their

product will take care of itself when

the value of the trees and their prod-

ucts becomes apparent. Both in Cali-

fornia and in Oregon not only nut but

fruit orchards and Vineyards, grow be-

side the roadways with no protection

other than that of public opinion; and

what has .been done in one part of

the country can be done in others as

well.





HE eleven species referred to as

being available for Michigan use

are as follows: The almond, butter-





nut, beechnut, chestnut, filbert (hazel), ‘





pecan, shagback hickory, shellbark

hickory, black walnut, Japanese wal-

nut, and the Persian or so-called Eng~

lish walnut.



Taking these up in Order we will

consider first the



. Almond.



Except as an ornamental, the almond

does not offer a great deal for use 'in

Michigan. It is sometimes said to be





' . . 4. as ha1dy as the peach, but only as this





refers to the tree and not to the fruit,

is it true. Certain edible hardshell al-

monds, although so inferior to the im~

proved varieties as to have practically

no market value, do sometimes suc-

ceed in lower Michigan, but their value

is limited to their beauty when in

bloom and to the production of a low

grade product. In form and general

appearance, these almonds are much‘

like peach pits. Very often they con-





tain much of the same bitter taste as:





Prussic acid common to the kernel of

the ordinary peach. They are interest-

established, that have delved into the

problems of reforestration, drainage,

highway building and co-operative mar-

keting. Yet, how many counties can

show all of these within their respec-

tive boundary lines?





Just as the Raw Recruit was return-

ing from the expedition into the north-

ern wilds(?), happy with the recollec—

tions of luscious cherries, fish dinners,

beautiful bays, harbors, lakes and

streams, not to mention the handsome

groups of cherry pickers that had not

yet migrated southward to their win-

ter homes, and looking forward to his

honorable discharge, he received an S.

O. S. call to prepare for skirmish duty

in Ottawa County. He immediately

repaired to the scene of action, where

he was met and welcomed by County

Agricultural Agent C. P. Milham.



History tells us that Ottawa County

was organized in 1837, at which time

it also embraced the present County

of Muskegon. The lands were placed

on the ‘market by the Federal Govern-

ment in 1839, and the County had a

population of only 1,200 in 1846. The

assessed valuation of all property in

1840 was $352,372.57. By 1880, it had

risen to $6,417,320; the valuation in

1919 was $47,560,000. Aside from its

very rapid growth, its developmentwill

be seen to have been 00mparatively

recent and mostly within the lifetime

of the middle-aged grown-ups. Only 39

years ago, the County cut 191,000,000

feet of lumber in a single year.





Much of the County is comparative-

ly level, and geologists tell us that,

some Centuries ago before Michigan

and the surrounding lakes had settled

down and decided to behave themselves,



. the level portions of the County were

a part of Lake Michigan, and only a

little» of the southeastern and north-

eastern corners were “dry territory."

Since that time great sand dunes have

been thrown up along 'the present

shore of Lake Michigan, concealing

the Lake from View except along the

immediate shore, around the mouth of

the Grand River, and from Black and

Eigeon Lakes. This was undoubtedly

,3 wiSe provision of nature, as there are

fine bathing beaches on the shore, and

some of the latest styles of bathing



= costumes might disturb the peace and

tranquility 'j that rpervades the rural





 





piles of sand. . ,





HILE the population is made up



of representatives of many dif-

ferent countries, Holland contributed

by far the largest number. It is esti-

mated that at least 80 per cent of the

people in the county were either born

in Holland or of Holland parentage.

These people are thrifty, industrious,

hard-working, home—loving, religious,

conservative and honest citizens. Prob-

ably . no nationality in the United

States possesses all of these attributes

to as great an extent as do these pe0<

ple. Coming to this country, as many

of them do, with small means and pos-

sibly with large families, they are able

by' their inherent frugal and careful

habits to acquire not only a livelihood

but in most cases large farms, good

buildings, fine herds of cattle and

other live stock, and all of the other

evidences of prosperity. Aside from

being able to manage their private af-

fairs successfully and profitably, many

have demonstrated their fitness in

handling the large problems of county

and state. Much of the success of the

various splendid co-operative associa-

tions in the county is readily traceable

to the unusual business ability of the,

county’s leading citizens.



Less conservative counties may well

be astonished at the progress that co-

operation has made in Ottawa Coun-

ty. The spirit of co-operation was first

developed in a dozen or more very ac-

tive farmers’ clubs and nine granges.

The latter are still active and flourish-

ing, but some of the farmers’ clubs

have been supplanted by the co—opera~

tive associations. However, eight of

these clubs are still active. They are

located as follows: Midway, Spring

Lake T0wnship; Dennison. and Boost-

ers, Polkton Township; Robinson, Rob-

inson Township; Allendale, Allendale

Township; Harlem, Olive Township;

North Shore, Park Township; River

Bend, Tallmadge Township. Meetings

are generally held monthly at public

halls or private homes, and are both

business and social in purpose. In the

winter months, the meetings are all-

day affairs with a picnic dinner.



., . .

HE organization of the various co-

operative institutions has been

rapid and unusually successful.

Holland Co-operative Association at

Holland Was organized last September

with less than 100 members; it now

has 500 members in Ottawa and Alle-

gan Counties. It started business in a

small warehouse in a very poor loca-

tion. Today it. owns a fine, large ware-

house in a central location, and'ha's

purchased the flour mill formerly

owned by Van Eyck & Weurding. This

mill is equipped for grinding not only





wheat, but rye and buckwheat, as. well,

and has a. capactiy 0f ‘50 barrels ‘per'

day. The Association has recently

purchased an elevator at Harlem and

a warehouse at, West Olive, and main-

tains a branch 'office at each of these

places. The officers are: Simon .Har-

kema, president; William Van Apple

dorn, secretary; and George Heneveld,

manager. .



The Zeeland Farm Bureau Exchange

was organized in June of this year,

and already has over 100- members. It

has bought the business of the Zeeland

Fuel & Supply Company from Glarum





the Conklin Farmers Association about

one year ago for the same purpose. It

started with about 100 members and

has since grown rapidly. It not only

handles live stock but nearly every-





thing that the farmer has to sell or ,





buy, including stock feeds and reme-

dies, flour, farm produce, tires, oils,

binder” twine, seeds and fertilizers.

Feed grinding is also a part of the

business. The Association is ereg'ting





three concrete silos with a capacity of-





.11,000 bushels for storing grain. The





tember 1st. It intends to purchase

coal, fertilizer and other supplies for

its members, and to ship their grain

and other products. It will also do

feed grinding and operate a. complete





concrete block plant which it already





owns. Its officers are: G. H. DeWitt,

president; James Kossen, secretary-

treasurer; and John Ten Have, man-

ager. _



The Coopersville Farmers Elevator





 





County Agent C. P. Milham.





Company ships all kinds of farm prod-

ucts and,purchases supplies for its

members. Its co-operative actitivies

began in the form of a live stock ship-

ping aSsociation, and has gradually en-

larged in scope to include nearly all

lines of farm business. While it has

been in operation only about 18

months, it now has a membership of

362. It has taken over the Durham

elevator and Lang Brothers plants. It

is efi‘iciently managed by the following

list of officers: George Wallis, presi-

dent; William Riemersma, vice-presi-

dent; E. L. Collar, secretary; Ellis

Peck, treasurer; ,Paul Hahn, manager.



The success of the Coopersville As

sociation, in handling li’v’e stock ship-

ments, prompted the organization of





.C. 0. Batson, secretary; and E. J. Din-

kel, manager.





The Farmers Co-operative Elevator

at Jamestown does a very large busi-

ness and is in a flourishing condition.

It has a branch at Hudsonville‘ and one

at Vriesland.

vator business in each of the three

places, and handles all kinds of farm

products except live stock. It also





owns and operates the flour mill at ‘





Jamestown. The officers who are re-

sponsible for this excellent showing

are: J. J. Nienhuis, preSident; Alexan-

der Klooster, secretary; and Peter.

Takken, manager of the three plants.

Similar institutions are about to be or-

ganized at Grand Haven and Grand-

ville.



Another very successful co-operative

institution is the Grand River Valley

Fruit Growers Association at Grand

"Haven. It has 140 members, and was

reorganized under its present name

last spring. It ships the crops of small





fruits of its members, chiefly berries.





., and grapes, which are very success-

fully grown around Grand Haven and

Spring Lake. It has already done

$100,000 worth of business this year in

berries, and it expects to handle at





least 100 cars of grapes worth! between .





$150,000 and $200,000. It has con-

tracted the crop from 300 acres of

grapes. The officers are: Ira Cross,

president; Klaas .Bolens, 'vice-presi—

dent; and C. C. Whistler, secretary.





A smaller organization, unique in

purpose, is the Grand River Game and

Fur Protective Association. Its 45

members are land owners along Grand

River and nearby marshes. They feed

and protect the fur-bearing animals on

their property during the summer

months, and reap their benefits during

the trapping season. It is said that

the Association sold $30,000 worth of

furs last year.





The dairy interests have a small but.

very enthusiastic organization known

as the Ottawa County Holstein Breed-

ers Association. The president is J.

J. Nienhuis of Jamestown,,and the sec-

retary, Ben Van Lente of Holland. At

a recent meeting, the members decid-

The Poland China Breeders Associa-

tion at Coopersville is another active

_ association, and is devoting its ener-

gies to the building up Of the swine

industry and the improvement .of the

herdsin that part of the state. It

will put on a consignment sale at the

Marne fair grounds this fall. It is ex-

pected that about 30 registered pigs

will be in this sale. Mr. John G. Ter

Avest is one of the largest swine

breeders in (this section, and is one of

the live wires in the association.





ROM the foregoing it will be seen



that the spirit of co-operation has

not only been aroused in Ottawa Coun-

ty, but that it has reached a high state

of deveIOpment. The advent of the

Farm Bureau is proving to be a con-

necting link in bringing the various

co-operative institutions together and

establishing unity of purpose and ac-

tion. A number of the associations are

arranging to co-operate .with the Farm

Bureau, and it is probable that the

others will do likewise when they

come to realize the advantages of the

larger .and wider co-operation thus

made possible. The Ottawa County

Farm Bureau was particularly fortun-

ate in the selection of its officers and

committeemen. County Agent Milham

gave unstinted praise to this govern-

ing- body. He said there were many

other men equally as capable in the

county but none who'were better. The

oflicial staff is as followszv William

She has also been a moving factor in

the Coopersville Grange, which is one '

of the largest granges in the state.

Last year she was vice-president of the

Farm Bureau. She is a firm believer in

co—operation and progressiveness.



While motoring through the south-

ern part of the county we met Mr.

of 80 acres near Zeeland, on which is

a fine home and neat surroundings. He

is the capable and energetic secretary-

treasurer of the Zeeland Farm Bureau

operate 240 acres of land, and he is an

exceptionally good farmer. He gives

special attention to procuring good

seed corn and seed potatoes. We saw

a field of fodder corn on his farm that

averaged ten and one~half feet in

height, and single stalks were found

that measured nearly twelve feet in

length. He has a fine herd of H01-

Results from Road Tests





. HE extensive use of heavy motor

I trucks has created new and very

serious problems in the construc-

tion and maintenance of highways.

This has led the Bureau of Public

Roads of the United States Depart-

ment of A; :‘ricultme to unde1take some

highly impaitant testing and research

work for the purpose of finding the

best road materials and methods of

construction to meet present day re-

quirements. These road material tests

are being carried on at the Arlington,

Va., Experimental llarm, under the su-

per vision of E. B. Smith, senior assist-

ant testing engineer, and have been

under way a year and a half. The re-

sults at this time are not conclusive;

nevertheless, the work has progressed

sufficiently to enable the Bureau of

Public Roads to reach some definite

conclusions which will be given to the

public in a bulletin to be found at an

early date.

Tests are being made to determine

the durability of various materials in

' concrete, vitrified brick and stone

block pavements, The tests are plan-

ned to give sections of pavement of

all the different materials the same

practical traflic use. A wear testing

machine gives approximately the wear

produced by heavily loaded steel-tired

'vehicles. It is described by the engi-

neer in change as consisting of “five

'castiron wheels 48 inches in diameter

and two inches wide, each weighing

1,000 pounds. The wheels are mount-

ed inside of a channel iron frame in

such a way that they roll over the

' center twelve inches of the 24-inch

test strip. Each wheel is mounted in-

”dependently of the other so as to be

'- free to move up and down and thus ad-

311st itself to inequalities and depres-

one in the pavement along the line

ver which it travels. The wheels

and properly handling live stock and

soils; by stimulating interest in better

ing aid to the further extension of co-

operative activities and the Farm Bu-

reau, and hopes that there will soon

be a central organization or clearing

house at Grand Rapids for the numer-

ous co-operative units in Muskegon,

Ottawa, Allegan and Kent Counties.

He is also looking forward to the com-

plete amalgamation of the co-operative

associations and the Farm Bureau.

During the month of August he held

no less than 31 meetings, consisting of

field demonstrations with corn, pota-

toes and poultry, and evening meet-

ings He has readily acquired a grasp

of the needs of the county, and is en-

deavoring to fully meet the responsi-

bility placed upon him. He is endowed

with a pleasing peisonality and good

looks, and, as he is still single at the

present writing, we predict that he has

travel six miles per hour." At present

these wheels have made upwards of

(3, 000 trips over the test pavement.





Each section of pavement is laid on

a conCIete base eight inches in depth,

under which is a twelve—inch subbase

of Cinders, with a. four-inch tile be-

neath, pioviding ample drainage.



In the tests some of the materials

used have gone down badly. It has

been found that the durability of brick

depends largely upon its hardness.

Ha1d biick with both cement and as-

phalt fill-ers has stood up very good,

while less hardened brick is badly cut

up. Granite block is apparently more

lasting than other materials, but lacks

the finished surface. The cement filler

gives a smoother surface than the as-

phalt, after hard wear.





A new series of tests is under way,

with solid concrete slabs the width of

the roadway. These blocks will rest

on a sub—surface which in some of the

tests will be water proofed and in oth-

ers the subsurface will be protected

from water seepage by concrete side

walls. In other tests with the solid

slab pavement the subsurface is kept

water soaked and in others well

drained.



A machine for testingthese road

slabs has been constructed which is

designed to produce the impaCt that

might be delivered by a 71/; ton truck.





These impacts are made until the.





slabs are broken. In some instances





a few impacts are sufficient to break





down a. slab on a poorly constructed

subsurface, while with a more ade-

quate subsurface many times the num-

ber of impacts are necessary to break

the slabs. .

URING the ten years from 1901 to

1910 the average retail price in

the United States for almonds was

thirty-five cents per pound. This va-

ried little from yeargto year. The Cal-

ifornia farmers who grew the almonds

received an average of eight cents per

pound for them. The producers’ share

of the ‘consumers’ dollar was twenty-

two cents.



That was before the almond grow-



' ers, organized. The low prices pre-

vailing for almonds year after year so

discouraged the growers that many

groves were pulled out, and the farm-

ers turned their energies to endeavor

Everything to Gain.



It did no good to protest over the

low prices for almonds, so some of the

leading almond growers in 1910 took

one deSperate last chance and formed

an association to market their prod-

uct. “We had everything to gain and

nothing to lose,” says Geo. W. Pierce,

now president of the California Al-

mond Growers’ Exchange, and a lead-



, er back in 1910. “We would have all



gone busted anyway, under the system

then prevailing, so we decided to take

the one chance left to us.” .



,During the'eight years'from 1911 to

1918, consumers still paid thirty-five

cents per pound for almonds- The re—

tail price remained practically the

same from year to year. The almond



- growers received an average of seven-

teen cents per pound for th‘eir product.

The producers’ share of the consum-

ers’ almond dollar was 47 cents. The

1919 crop was moved at a higher fig-

ure, due to a tremendous demand, the

almond growers receiving about twen-



-’>‘ ' ty-seven cents and the consumers pay-



' / ing forty-five.



‘ Growers Fix the PriCe.



‘ Since 1910 the price received by the

growers for almonds has been deter-

mined by the growers themselves. The



vCalifornia Almond Growers’ Exchange,

which is nothing more or less than an

organization of 3,700 almond growers

whose purpose is to market the al-

which *the farmers receive for their

whole twenty years (except in 1919,

.when everything, including almonds,

,was higher than ever before.) The

returns. If that is not a proper line

of activity for a farmers’ marketing

organization, I’d like to have somebody

specify a better one.





What have been the general effects

upon the almond industry from organ-

ization? I will let Geo. W. Pierce,

president and leading almond grower

himself, answer. “The acreage devot-

ed‘ to almonds in California has in-

creased between six and seven times

diretors elects an executive committee

of five, who have the direction of‘the

affairs of the California Almond Grow-

ers’ Exchange.

How the Crop ls Handled.



When the almonds are harvested,

the growers deliver them to the ware-

houses belonging to their local asso-

ciations. The nuts are then graded,

processed, packed and prepared for

shipment. When they leave these local

“We pay no attention to the cost of

production,” said T. C. Tucker, gen-





cussing the fixing of a price.

a price that we think.will moire the

crop. For years we have maintained

a salaried expert in Spain to report on

the almond crop there. California pro-

duces only twenty per cent of the al-

monds used in this country, the rest

plants they are ready for the world’s coming from Spain. We depend on the

market. information he sends, and upon our



Note that I said in the preceding own information as to the size'of the

crop, probable demand, general busi-

ness conditions, and then decide upon

The Same Price to All.‘

Here is another all-important point.

Every grower gets the same price for

the same grade of almonds, regardless





 





 





on the decline. Many groves were

abandoned, and many others were neg-

lected, simply because none of us were

skillful enough to make a profit in

growing almonds, for eight cents per

pound. We were absolutely under the

domination of a group of almond pack-

ing concerns which bought the crop as

cheap as they thought they could get

by with. Growers all over California

were thoroughly discouraged, and in

spite of the fact that it takes years'to

develop a good almond orchard, they

were quitting the business.





Profitable Price ln'sures Supply.



“By organizing, the almond growers

have been enabled to fix a price for

their product which yields a fair re-

turn on their land and labor and pays

a reasonable profit besides. That is

the reason why there has been such a

tremendous increase in the acreage

devoted to almonds. Let me impress

upon you that that principle applies to

every product under the sun: Fixa

price upon a product which‘will give

the producer a fair profit and you will

never need have any fears about the

supply.



There are 3,700 almond growers in

the organization, or ninety per cent of

all the almond growers in California.

They are scattered all over the state,

but usually in clusters in the areas

suited to almond production. They are

organized into twenty-four local asso-

ciations, which are organized on the

non-profit plan without capital stock.

Each' local aesociation elects one dis

rector, and this body of twenty-four





of whether the nuts sold for twenty

cents or thirty cents or for nothing.

This is accomplished through what is

called a pool.

by itself, and all the first grade al-

monds of each variety are pooled to-

gether. Second grade almonds are not

pooled, but are kept separate and sold

for the account of the man who grew

them.





paragraph, “the growers deliver them”

—they don’t sell the almonds to the

association. The job of the local asso-

ciation is to prepare the almonds for

market. Neither the grower nor the

local association has one word more

to say about selling the almonds than

you and I have—except as he has a

vote for director in his local associa-

tion.



When the local association has the

almonds ready for market, it ships

them to any place indicated by the

general manager of the California Al-

mond Growers Exchange, which is the

central organization of the twenty—four

local associations, and which is the

only body with a word to say about

the sale of the almonds. It is primar-

ily and solely a selling organization,

whose business it is to secure a good

price for the growers’ almonds.



Setting the PriCe.



Each year there is a meeting attend~

ed by the directors from the twenty-

four local associations, the general

manager of the exchange and a few

experts hired by him. This meeting is

held about the time the almonds are

ready to move onto the market. These

men, after taking into account the

probable demand for almonds, the size

of the crop, the size of the foreign

crop, general business conditions, and

a few other things of lesser import-

ance, set the price on the almond crop.

The general manager has authority to

raise or lower this price at any time.

Should demand prove greater than ex-

pected, he can increase the price, or





pounds of Impeiial almonds When he

delivers them to the local association,

he is credited with them. The central

exchange sends him a sum of money

equal to about half the sale value of

these almonds; this money has been

borrowed from the banks. Later, when

enough Imperials have been sold to

pay the advance and money begins

piling up in the treasury, a further

payment is made. Later as more Im-

perials are sold, another payment is

made, until all the Imperials are sold,

then a final payment is made.





The past few years the harvest ad-

vance has been ten cents per pound—-

more than the growers formerly re-

ceived altogether before the exchange

was organized. At first the directors

had to borrow this money on. their

personal notes, but now the banks rec-

ognize the strength of the exchange

and loan to it as they would to Ar-

mours or any other large borrower on

its own note. Last year one banki

loaned $1,040,000 to the almond ex-

change.





Nlnety Per Cent of Growers in Asso-

ciation.

Ninety per cent of the almond grow-





 





 





 





ers of California are.members of the

organization and turn their almonds

over to it. The exchange does not

guarantee these almonds any price;

all it does is to take these almonds

and sell them for the best available

price and return that, less the cost of

Operation, to the growers. These grow-

ers must sign the by-laws, which re4

quire each member to turn his almonds

over to the exchange.



The almond industry is a small in-

dustry, but the lessons taught by the

California growers who organized and

put it upon a more solid foundation _

than it has ever known before are

worthy of study by all whose thoughts

run toward co-operallive marketing.

articles on co-operative marketing sys-'

tems developed in California. The

third will appear next week.

POTATO TOPS’ TURN BLACK.





The tops of my potatoes are black—

ened as if tipped by frost and the

blackened portions are soft and rotted.

. The damage does not look like frost

damage but seems more like Blight.

Is there anything to be done?



Oakland Co. J. McM.



I believe your potatoes have been

struck by the late blight. This dis-

ease has been found recently in Wayne

and Oakland County, and I believe it

will be found here and there in south-

eastern Michigan. This disease has

come on so very late this year that it

will not shorten the crop to any great

extent. It is likely to make the pota-

toes rot badly in storage, however. It

is too late to spray with Bordeaux

Mixture. That should have been done

in July and August. All that you can

do is to delay digging until the tops

are entirely dead. If possible, wait a

week or ten days after the drying of

the tops takes place. The rotting of

the tubers comes from spores which

either wash through the ground to the

tubers or else from spores shaken

from the tops at digging time. Pota‘

toes dug While the tops are green, if

late blight is present, rot badly. In

1912, the Thumb district had only

slight attack on the tops but suffered

nearly a total loss of the tubers be-

cause of harvesting too soon.



Sort carefully in picking up the po-

tatoes from blighted fields, and put

only sound potatoes into the cellar.

Keep the cellar cool and well ventilat-

ed. If these directions are followed

your loss should be slight. G. H. C.





ROPY MILK.





I have a heifer nearly 3 years old

that came in on July 4. She gives

about eight quarts of milk twice a

day. The milk looks all right when

strained, but after setting in pans, a

clabber-like sediment accumulates in

the bottom. The milk is not sour but

it looks unfit for use. A. U.



From this somewhat meager de-

scription, I am inclined to think that

the trouble with this milk is due to

ropy milk bacteria; if so, the heifer

has nothing to do with it at all. This

is a bacteria that gets on the udder

and into the opening of the milk duct

and causes the milk to assume this

stringy lobbard condition, and yet it

does not sour. You do not say that

the milk seems to be stringy and I'

understand from your letter the milk

will pass through a strainer. IWhen

you have ropy milk, it will not go

through a strainer readily and it is

stringy, .so I am not sure that I am

Correct about this cause. I advise you

to consult your,veterinarian. If you

have a case of ropy milk you can easily;

get rid of it. Make a very weak solu-

tion of sulphuric acid, wash the cow's

teats before and after milking, rinse

the strainer and pails and all dairy

utensils in this weak solution. Two or

three applications usually remove this

entirely. C. C. L.

brance, the assignee's remedy would

OATS FOR PIGS.





Can you give me some idea in re-

gard to feeding oats to pigs. Last year

1- fed whole cats to pigs and they did

all right, but this year I have been

feeding ground oats and corn, equal

parts by weight, also corn on cob, and

some of my pigs are getting the piles.

Now, what causes the piles and is there

any cure for them? The ground feed

has been fed in the form of slop.



Clinton Co. J. A. G



Oats are so chaffy thatthey are not

considered a good food for pigs. It

would be entirely impracticable to feed

pigs unground oats, as most of them





would not be digested and assimilated._

They are much better when ground,.





then the pigs will select out the meat

of the cats and leave the hull. Oat

meal proper is a splendid food for

growing pigs. If you feed cats or cat

meal to horses or ground oatS'to cattle

of course this hull of the cat which the

pigs refuse to eat is consumed by these

other animals without waste. It is

better ration, however, to feed corn

and oats ground together to growing

pigs than to feed corn alone.



I cannot understand why a feed of

corn and oats or corn on the cob

should give your pigs the piles. Corn

is not a constipating food and ought

not to affect them this way. I am not

competent to judge but I should say

that this comes from some other cause

and you should talk with your veterin-

arian about it. Too close confinement,

too thin a slop, or some condition not

indicated in your letter, is in my judg-

ment, the cause of this trouble.

THE CARE AND REPAIR. OF TIRES.





Through your service department I

would like to have you answer the fol-

lowing vfor the benefit of the writer

and, no doubt, many other interested

persons: 13 it advisable to vulcanize

and retread tires and what precautions

can a farmer take to relieve him of

some of the expense connected with

keeping his automobile going?



SUBSCRIBER.



One of the largest items of expense

in operating a motor car is tires.

This.is particularly true of the farm

car. Gravel roads are much harder on

tires than city pavements. The farm‘

er drives more in bad weather and

carries heavier loads. All this takes

its toll on the tires.





The cost of tires is almost wholly

up to the driver; for the service from

tires is very largely dependent on'the

care taken of them. A little out, hard-

ly noticeable, may let moisture in that

in time will rot the fabric and eventu-

ally cause it to give way. Or sand

working in will “blister." loosening the

tread over a steadily increasing-area.



Vulcanizing, properly done, will pre-

vent this. The work should be done

by a man who understands it. The

fabric must be dry and clean—often

some of it must be replaced. Every

particle, of moisture must be elimin-





ated if the correct chemical action in





rubber is to take place when the vul—





 





 





\ .





A w





canization is going on. It requires men

of experience to do the job correctly.

The proper application of heat is nec-

essary to cure rubber properly. Too

little heat makes a soft, spongy mass

that will soon wear off and drop away

from the repaired spot. Over-heating

the rubber makes a hard mass with no

life, which cracks and crumbles under

pressure.





Retreading offers a saving to the

farmer. Many tires on automobiles

and farm trucks are worn badly on the

tread and are “rut-cut" while the

“carcass” is still sound. A fully

equipped shop, manned by skilled

workmen, can take such a tire and put

a new tread on it———one quite as good

as the original one.



As regards the general care of tires

the following “don’ts” should be prac-

ticed by every auto driver:



Don't run your tires under—inflated.



Don’t overload your car. It has the

same effect on tires as under-inflation.



Don’t hit any obstruction or bad

holes at a high rate of speed. It will

save many' blow-outs of perfectly good

tires.



Don’t drive your car with the wheels

wobbling or out of true. The entire

rubber tread of a new tire can be worn

or rasped off in 200 miles of travel

with front wheels out of line one inch.



Don't put a good tire on a rim that

is bent out of shape or flattened down

becauSe the head will not conform to

it and thus cause it to break in the

carcass. .



Don’t rely on a blow-out patch to

mend a break or blow-out in your tires.

The blow-out patch is only atempor-

ary repair at the best and will not

prevent the fabric from tearing fur-

ther to exclude sand, mud or water.



Don’t pump up tires without testing

pressure with air gauge. It is impos—

sible to guess within twenty pounds.

Use the pressure specified by the tire

manufacturer. .



Don’t run a tire with a bad cut.in it.

The cut will grow and finally 'cause a.

blow out.-—C. Von P.





SEEDING TIMOTHY AND ALSIKE

IN THE FALL.





We have been greately helped by

the Michigan Farmer. Would like to

ask how it works to sow timothy and

alsike clover on wheat stubbles this

fall (or would it be better in the

spring) on which I failed to get a catch

from last spring’s sowing?



Eaton Co. N. F.





If you care more about‘ gettfiig a

catch of timothy and alsike than you

do of getting a good crop of wheat,

then the thing to do is to seed the

grass when you sow the wheat. Most

drills have a grass seed attachment,

so the seed can be sown the same time

you drill the .wheat. The grass, espe-

cially the timothy, gets a good start in

the fall, and if the wheat is injured a.

little by a severe winter, the grass is

liable to get a start of the wheat in

the spring and injure its growth. That

is the only thing that prevents most

everybody from seeding in the fall. On

the other hand, if you wait till spring,

the wheat, even' though it be some-

what weakened by the winter, has the

land all 'to itself and quite often im-

proves wonderfully and ‘makes a good





crop, but if the timothy has obtained

a good start in the fall, many times. it

is so vigorous in the spring and starts

so early that it does not give a weak ’

wheat plant much chance to improve.

With a normal season. that Is one

containing a fairly well distributed

rainfall, there is little risk in seeding

to timothy and alsike in the spring ‘

on the wheat, and when the wheat is

harvested, a timely shower will do.

velop a good stand of the timothy and

clover. C. C. L.





UNTH‘RIFTY TU RKEYS





Two of my young turkeys seem

shaky and their feathers are somewhat

ragged. They seem to grow and are

heavy enough but not as large as the

others. They will walk a little dis

tance, then seem to shake so badly

that they will squat down. Please tell

me what ails them and what is the





remedy.

Baraga Co. P. H. M.





Some young turkeys in a flock may

seem lacking in vigor even though the

others are thrifty birds. Diarrhea is a

common cause of weakness in poults.

If it occurs try feeding boiled eggs and

stale bread, heavily sprinkled with

pepper. The trouble might be due to

leg weakness brought about by a lack

of protein in the ration. Plenty of sour

milk is a good feed for poults and

seems to help in preventing such trou-

bles. If 4 out of 6 of the poults are

healthy and they are all from the same

breeding stock, probably the breeders

are all right. But often a weakness

in young turkeys is due to inbreeding

or weak and immature breeders. It

will pay to isolate the sick poults, so ,

if the trouble turns out to be black-

head there will be less danger of in-

fecting the other poults. K.

‘Jmarket hog is made up of fat, and it

9 is in bone and muscle, not fat, that

" .1 fertility leaves the farm. The hog pro-

duces more manure than the sheep.

One does not hear of sheep robbing

" - the soil. Nor is it because the manure

‘ " , of the hog is low in fertilizing value,



for it ranks a close second to the ex-

» crement of sheep, which heads the list.



Horses, cattle and sheep stay in pas-



tures more than hogs. Likewise they

ter plans are made to save and apply

upon land that is seldom scraped nor



used for growing crops. The manure



u ,_ 1- of the hog seldom reaches the fields.



That is the reason the hog is classed



. as a soil robber. It is not the fault of



' ; ' the hog but of the system of manage-

ment. Stated in an unscientific but



. immensely practical way the solution

‘is simple: Save the manure.



Conditions have been established on

many Michigan farms which are com-

pelling men with the combined capital

of money and brains to work out sys-

tems of soil building in which the hog

plays a more important part. After

many years of experience feeding hogs

in dry lots and depending upon grain

feeds as an exclusive diet they have

discovered that something is wrong

with the land as well as with the hogs.

This conviction strengthened by the

popular facts of science, has brought

about 'a sort of individualized under-

taking to remedy the condition ‘ by

making the hog a soil builder rather

than a soil robber.



- Experience shows that, as a rule,

lime and phOSphorus are the elements

needed to encourage the growth of de-



‘ sirable grasses and soil-improving for-



(-j,‘ age crops. .It follows of, course that



‘ p" _ the supply of humus is generally in-

, I, ‘ adequate, and that the physical condi-

’It tion of the soil precludes the best ef-

“y'fll fects of tillage and the general thrift

0. ' _ proving conditions in different ways,

7., . success have introduced systems



I which include pastures, small colony

l crops. The changing of feedlots and





 





S





« shifting pastures makes it possible to

,_ derive maximum benefit from the fer-

"if tilizing elements in the stubble, roots

" ' and uneaten portions of the crops, re-

inforced by the droppings of the hogs.

A system of this kind not only makes

. the hog a very eflicient soil builder but

’. > it has many other advantages.

‘ This explains why hogging down

certain crops is proving so satisfactory

on many farms where the ‘practice has

been given a fair trial. Hogging

down the corn crop has helped to solve

the labor problem and added many a

dollar to the profits of those who have

followed the practice for several years.

Ten years ago,’ hogging down corn

was considered unprofitable, a lazy

man’s method of, harvesting cdrn’,

which if gathered by man, would re-

turn a greater profit. But this theory

" has been reversed by the results 'of

practical experience and experiments

carried on by the Minnesota and Iowa

Moriment, Stations. There. are, of

farmers, farmers ' who have bogged





down corn for periods ranging from





one to ten years, but five per cent re-





ported unfavorably, during an investi-

gationcarried on by the Iowa station.



Some of their expressions in favor

of hogging down corn are as follows:

,“Hogs gain one fourth faster than in

dry lot and put on twelve pounds of

pork without .tankage as compared

with ten pounds in dry lot with tank

age.” - ~



“I believe that twenty bushels

corn fed in the field will put on as

much gain as twenty-five pounds fed in

dry lot. ‘



“Hogs do better, grow faster and are

in better tone; never lost a hog in the

corn field.” .



Such answers are indicative of the

enthusiasm displayed by all who have

made the test. '



At the same time let it be remem-

bered that com must be supplemented

in the corn field as it is in the dry

lot. Nevertheless, it can be accom-

plished with much less expense at-

tached than when tankage is used as

the supplement. Probably the most

economical method is to plant a forage

cr0p in'the corn, such as rape, Dwarf

Essex preferred, and allow the hogs

to balance their own ration.



The best time to plant rape in corn

is at the last cultivation, the corn be-

ing dented by the time the rape has

made a good growth. The greatest

advantage of rape as a field supple-

ment for corn is that it is relatively

cheap to produce and is easily grown.

The priCe ranges from twenty to forty

Cents a pound, and two or three pounds

suffice for an acre. The seed can

be sown with a hand seeder immedi-

ately preceding the. last cultivation,

or may be sown shortly after with a

drill, but the time and expense will

be more than enough to offset the ad-

vantage of a more even distribution

and covering of seed. With an acre of

rape estimated at $15, and two pounds

of seed worth but' fifty cents, the prac-

tice of sowing this crop in corn is in-

deed a good investment. “



Some farmers advocate the use of

soy beans drilled in the corn, but soy

beans require a much longer growing

season than does rape or most other

supplemental crops. Many farmers ex-

pbrience some difficulty in obtaining a

mature stand at the time the corn is

denting. Then again it is necessary

to inoculate for soy beans, while the

seed costs more than that of rape.

However, soy beans have a beneficial

effefi on the soil, adding that valuable

element, nitrogen, an advantage that

rape does not possess. When soy beans

are used, they must be planted at the

time the corn is drilled. Among other

crops that are sometimes employed are

rye, hairy vetch, pumpkins, Canadian

field peas, cow peas and a mixture of

rape and pumpkins. ‘

with brood sows later in the season. n

nurserymen. ~ ‘ '

The B’eech.



One of Michigan’s noblest, hardiest,

and most often abused trees is the

American beech. It is common from

North to South. No tree is more hand-

some, and none, unless possibly it be

the white birch, is so often defaced.

The beech is not directly important as

a nut-bearing tree, but indirectly it is

as the nuts are rarely harvested. No

food is better for turkeys and hogs

than are beechnuts. A bushel of beech-

nuts that can be used in this way

should replace at least a bushel of

corn. The difference in cost of pro-

duction should make beechnuts worth

several times as much as corn.



In Europe a valuable oil used as a

drug and for salads is expressed from

beeclmuts. Possibly individual trees

could be found somewhere in Michigan

which produce nuts large enough, good

enough, and in quantity enough to jus-

tify their recognition and pronagation

as named varieties. No matter wheth-

er distinct varieties appear or not, the

beech is well worthy of planting in

many places about both the farm and

the city lot.



Butternut.



A member of the walnut family

known also as “long walnut” and as

“white walnut” is the true butternut.

It has a smaller range of adaptability

than does the black walnut but is

found considerably farther north. On

the Atlantic coast, its native range ex-

tends into Nova Scotia. In parts of

New York State and New England, it

is one of the most common species. It

is well knwn in Michigan where, to

many people, it is the favorite of all

nuts. The tree is less durable and

long-lived than is the black walnut.

It is less well suited for use in the

landscape and its timber value is prob-

ably the least of any native walnut.





Within very recent years one or two

promising varieties have been intro-

duced by the nurserymen. The first

and only one now available is the

Aiken from New Hampshire. The nut

cracks well and the kernels are of

pleasant flavor,

has not been tested long enough to de—

termine its adaptability to conditions

in other states nor the extent to which

budded trees will be productive.



Chestnut.



Perhaps the greatest of all tree

tragedies is represented by the chest-

nut. Once a dominant species in many

parts of the East, it is now merely a

wreck of its former self. In whole

states along the Atlantic Seaboard, it

has been wiped out by a fungus disease

introduced from Japan some 25 years

ago. Pennsylvania allows no chestnut

trees to be shipped outside its limits

for fear of further spreading this dis-

ease. So far as known, chestnut trees

from west of the Wabash River are

free from infection. Fronr Illinois,

there have recently been introduced

several varieties of chestnut supposed

1y of pure American parentage which

are quite the equal in size of the Euro-

'pean sorts but which have the sweet

flavor of true American strains. In

protected places in the southern part

of the Lower Peninsula these chest-

nuts should be well worthy of trial.

They are, indeed, splendid chestnuts.

The principal varieties are the Roches-

ter, Progress, Fuller and Boone. The

last is not related to the others; but

is the result of an artificial cross be-

. tween the American sweet chestnut

[and the Japan Giant.

Nut Culture on'Farms

black walnut, the hickories are among

the best known of Michigan’s. nut trees.

Belonging to the same family as'vvdo

the walnuts, they require much the

same soil, for their best development.

They are slower of growth and even

harder to bud and graft or to success-

fully transplant. Nevertheless, sOme

hickories bear splendid nuts in lib-

eral quantities.

good varieties have been named and"

a few propagated. They are mainly

of the shagbark speci-,es although some

are shellbarks, some pignuts, and a

few hybrids. The true shellbark is

not found in Michigan and would prob-

ably not succeed there as well as do

the others. In character of growth,

the shellbark is much like the shag-

bark, but the nuts are much larger

and the shells extremely thick. Among

the good shagbarks there are the

Swaim, Weikér, Kentucky, Monahan,

Taylor and Vost. True hickories or-

dinarily do not attain important habits

of bearing until from 15 to 25 years

of age.

Pecan. ~

most important nut of American or-

igin.

best pecans grown in Califoria. The

Three varieties of black walnut are

now available tron; the nurserymen.

They are the Thomas from Pennsyl-

vania, the Ohio from some 20 miles

south of Toledo, and the Stabler from

bia. All are proliflcyprecocious, and

of superior cracking quality. The

Thomas was discovered andffirst prop—

agated some 30 years ago. The others

are of less than 10 year record. The

young grafted trees show a tendency

to begin bearing in the nursery rows.

At the present time, the black walnut

is regarded as being of greater prom-

ise for planting in the northern states

than is any other species, either na-

tive or introduced.

The Japanese Walnut.



To a considerable extent this spe-

cies has been confused with the Per-

sian walnut, although the 'two are

quite unlike. This is a dwarfish spe-

cies, with dull green rough leaflets

often as many as 15 or 17 per leaf,

which often bears‘nuts in clusters of

a dozen or more. While green, the





outer hulls of the nuts are rough and

somewhat sticky. The Persian walnut

is a standard-sized upright growing

tree with bright green large leaflets,

usually 3 to 7 per leaf, and smooth,

nuts of this country by rapid but nat-

ural processes. In the forests, it is

indigenous as far north as the southern

part of Indiana, and in western Illinois

it is found at the latitude of Chicago.

Seedling trees at South Haven and on

the campus of M. A. C. have borne oc-

casional crops, but the climate of Mich-

igan is too severe for pecans to bear

regularly. The trees of northern or-

igin should do well enough over much

of lower Michigan to be worthy of

planting: Good varieties are the Ma-

jor, Greenriver, Niblack, Indiana, Bus-

seron and Posey.

Black Walnut.



Already the black walnut has been

referred to in this article. In its fur-

ther behalf may be said that like the

pecan it is one of America’s most

rapidly growingvaluable trees. It does

not grow with the speed of a poplar,

a willow, or a linden. Neither does

any other tree of value. or longevity.

Two six-year-old trees of the eastern

black walnut grown in the Williamette

Valley of Western Oregon, bore ap-

proximately a peck of nuts apiece in

.1919, when they were photographed by

the writer. In good soil and under fa-

vorable conditions ‘of growth, it will

be seen that the black walnut is not

always slow in developing but that it





round nut hulls which split open and

shed the nuts automatically.



The Japanese walnuts hybridize

freely with other species of walnuts

and produce nuts of old types; not in-

frequently crosses of this kind resem-

ble butternuts so closely as to beprac-

tically indistinguishable from them.



True Japanese walnuts have a range

in form of two distinct types. The bet-

ter known is of guinea egg shape;

the other, often known as the heart-

nut, is of distinct heart shape. Neither

is large; the former is of about the

size of a guinea egg or smaller; the

latter is still smaller. Both are like

the black walnut in being encased in

a rough outer husk, which, upon ma-

turing, shrivels and adheres to the sur-

face of the nut. The shells are thinner

than are those of the black walnut, but

thicker than the shells of the Persian

walnut. When well matured, the shell

of the heart-nut tends to open slightly

at the apex, after which it can be

readily split in half with a knife blade.

The flavor of the kernels is much like

that of the American butternut.





The Japanese walnut is ordinarily





hardy wherever the black walnut sue





coeds. It is» by no means uncommon

in Michigan, where ft is especially an

propriate for family planting. For'the





relied upon almost wholly. as very so

varieties have been propagated. So

far as the writer. is- informed, the only

named ' variety available from’a north- .

ern nursery. is the Lancaster, ,m’tro- ,

duced by J. F. Jones, a nurseryman at

Lancaster, Pa.

‘ Persian Walnut.



Perhaps no species of nut‘ tree has

attracted as greatattention in Mich~

igan as has the Persian walnut. Under .

some c0nditions it does well for a time

in the eastern or" northeastern states,

but on the whole its " performance is

distinctly erratic. Commercially speak-

ing, it is of importance in this country

only on the Pacific coast. Trees on

the. campus at M. A. C. and at many

private places in the central part of

the state, have come to little. Usually

they grow well in summer . only to

freeze back nearly as much in winter.

In Saranac County, eastern Michigan,

close to Lake Huron, there are a few

young orchards that are in good con-

dition, but a half mile back from the





lake the results are discouraging. The





same is true next to Lake Michigan

from Grand Rapids south to the Indi-

ana line.



The only recommendations that can

be made relative to planting the, Per-

sian walnut in Michigan are, that it be

planted very cautiously in any part of

the state and except under very fa—

vored circumstances it be not planted .

at all in the middle of the state.



Do not undertake to grow the trees

by planting the nuts or by buying seed-

lings. The most desirable trees are

those of hardy varieties, budded on

the black walnut as a stock a foot or

more above ground.



The Filbert



The fllber't has been one of our

most tantalizing species of nut trees.

In England, trees grow to ages of from

one to two hundred years, bearing pro-

fusely meanwhile. There, for many

years, they are grown under apple

trees with currants‘ below them. In

Germany, we are told that strawber-

ries are grown below the currants and

gooseberries. We are waiting for tre

Yankee who will be first to grow pea-

nuts or potatoes below the strawber-

ries.1n the eastern part of this coun-

try, plants of the European kinds are

disappointing in two ways. First, they

are uncertain as to their ability to

bear; and, second, they. are highly ‘su3- '

ceptible to a fungus disease found -ev- ~

erywhere that the native hazels

abound. The native species is suit-

able to resist this disease, but the ins

troductions ordinarily succumb to it

quickly.



In the Pacific Northwest, where by

many filbert culture is, believed des«

tined to become a successful and pay—

ing industry within the next few years,

not infrequently some varieties begin

to blossom as early as in'December.

The season extends from then on until

March. It is thought that this habit of

early blooming is largely responsible

for the failure of eastern trees to set

and mature crops of nuts. , ,



Several nurserymen are now on

deavoring to find varieties of commer-

cial value in the eastern part of the

country. Apparently they are meeting

with some success as far as their work

has gone. Many of the varieties they

are testing are proving inferior, but a

few have borne good nuts in gratify-

ing quantity for several years. During

the past ’winter, a good many froze se-

verely, although they are commonly

hardy under severe weather:



Wherever they are planted, they

should haveyfertile soil, from 20 to 25

feet of space each way, and should be

trained to tree form. After 1019a!!!





or so, they should be headed back so-





verely, unless regular pruning has been

practiced in the meantime.

CTIVITIES of the Michigan'smte'

Farm' Bureau are extended far

beyond the boundaries of the

state. What promises to be of much

benefit to Wolverine farmers is the

seed purchasing alliance of Michigan,

New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. To

purchase in the far west and northwest.

high-grade seeds for use in the east and

middle-west, J. W. Nicolson, manager

of the Michigan ‘Farm Bureau seed de-

partment, and John H. Baron, of the

New York State Farm Bureau have

been named a committee to buy for all.





The purpose of this committee is to

enable these states to bunch require-

ments, thus giving volume of buying

power and keeping them from compet-

ing with each other for the same prod-

uct. It will materially cut‘ down ex-

penses as the committee can just as

easily buy in large quantities as small

and the gross expense in operating in

this way is not near as great as it

would be if all were working inde-

pendently.



This week Secretary Bingham is in

Kansas in attendance at the meeting of

representatives of middle-western- farm

bureaus“, Representatives of the far

western states are expected to be pres-

ent also in responee to Michigan’s re

quest that they cooperate in efforts to

build a national wool pool or national

wool sales agency for next year. This

subject with live stock marketing will

be the principal ones up for discussion

in.Kansas.



Within a few days after this Kansas

meeting, it is expected that President

Howard of the American Farm Bureau

Federation will convene his newly ap-

pointed committee of seventeen, which

is to endeavor to work out a national

cooperative method of selling grain.

Secretary Bingham is one of the few

farm bureau representatives on this

committee, which includes representa-

tives of all farm organizations in the

middle west interested in grain mar-

"keting and also of the agricultural





-press, the department of agriculture,





and the public.



This committee will carefully investi-

gate the plan followed by grain grow-

ers of western Canada and the plan of

the California fruit growers, where fav-

orable results have followed coopera-

tive marketing enterprises.





.- In the activities of this committee

alone sought. .. It is believed that elimi-

MICHIGAN REPRESENTED ON

FEDERAL COMMITTEE.





ICHIGAN will have one of the



.few farm bureau representatives

on the national committee appointed

this week by Prsident J. R. Howard of

the American Farm Bureau Federa~

tion which is trying to work out a na-

tion-wide plan for cooperative mar-

keting of grain by producers. Secre-





tary Bingham of the Michigan State ‘





Farm Bureau will serve on this com-

mittee, which will convene in its first

meetings in Chicago the last week in

this month.



In addition to the various farmers’

organizations, the federal government,

the public, the agricultural colleges

and the agricultural press are repre-

sented on the committee. The biggest

feature of this movement to remember





‘is that it is practically the first time





in the history of American agriculture

when the bulk of the various farmers’

organizations of the middle west have





been linked up together in work for a.





common purpose. In the past there has

been unfortunately division and jeal-

ousy, preventing the gaining of any





' unanimity of thought, but the big mar-





keting congress held in Chicago last

July when the appointment of this

committee was authorized and which

was attended by some four or five hun-

dred producers indicated that the time

is at hand for a merging of energies.

The point which will perhaps dominate

the discussions of this committee' is

whether the Californian crop contract

scheme which has linked all the pro-

ducers of fruit in that territory closely

together may not be adapted to grain

marketing in the middle west. The

Californians have demonstrated that

tight contracts are necessary if inter.

ests are to be held together and the

success of their scheme has been dem-

onstrated by the prosperity of the

raisin, prune, orange and other fruit

growers.

A ROMANCE or THE REnwoons»





By Peter B. Kym ' '





 





CHAPTER XXVII.





‘ N EXPERIENCE'extending over



a very active business career of



thirty years had convinced Col-



onel Seth Pennington of the futility

of wracking his brains in vain specu:

lation over mysteries. In his day he

had been interested in some small

public-service corporations, which is

tantamount to saying that he knew

peanut politics and had learned that

the very best way to light the devil is

with fire. Frequently he had found

it of great interest and profit to him

to know exactly how certain men spent

their time and his money, and since

he was a very busy man himself, nat-

urally he had to delegate somebody

else to procure this information for

him. When, therefore, the Northern

California Oregon Railroad com-

menced to encroach on the Colonel’s

timevappropriation for sleep, he real-

ized that there was but one way in

which to conserve his rest and that

was by engaging to fathom the mys-

tery for him a specialist in the 39’

ravelling of mysteries. In times gone

by, the Colonel had found a certain

national detective-agency an extreme-

ly efficient aid to well—known commer-

cial agencies, and to these tried and

true subordinates he turned now for





explicit and Satisfying information

anent the Northern California Out-

rage!





The information forthcoming from

Dun’s and Bradstreet’s was vague and

unsatisfying. Neither of these two

commercial agencies could ascertain

anything of interest regarding the

finances of the N. 0.10. For the pres-

ent the corporation had no office, its

destinies in San Francisco being

guarded by a well—known attorney who

had declined to make any statement

regarding the company but promised

one at an early date. The board of

directors consisted of this attorney,

his two assistants, his stenographer,

and Mr. Buchanan Ogilvy. The com-

pany had been incorporated for five

million dollars, divided into five mil-

lion shares of par value of one dollar

each, and five shares had been sub-

scribed! Both agencies forwarded

copies of the articles of incorporation,

but since the Colonel had already read

this document in the Sequoia Sentinel,

he was not further interested.



“It looks fishy to me,” the Colonel

commented to his'manager, “and I’m

more than ever convinced it’s a

scheme of that Trinidad Redwood





Timber Company to start a timber-

boom and unload. And that is some-

thing the Laguna Grande Lumber





Company does not view with favor,





flL flCRES—- 771a Biter Bit.

for the reason that one of these bright

days those Trinidad people will come

to their senses and sell cheap to us.

A slight extension of our logging-road

will make that Trinidad timber acces-

sible; hence we are the only logical

customers and should control the situ-

ation. However, to be sure is to be.

satisfied. Telephone the San Francisco

office to have the detective-agency that

handled the longshoremen’s strike job

for us send a couple of their best op-

eratives up on the next steamer, with

instructions to report to me on ar-

rival." 1



When the operatives reported, the

Colonel's orders were brief and ex-

plicit. “I want to know all about a

man named Buchanan Ogilvy, who is

up north somewhere procuring rights

of way for the Northern California

Oregon Railroad. Find him. Get up

with him in the morning and put him

to bed at night. Report to me daily.”



Buck was readily located in the

country north of Arcata, and one of

the operatives actually procured a job

as chainman with his surveying gang,

while the other kept Ogilvy and his

secretary under surveillance. Their re-

ports, however, yielded the Colonel

nothing until the first day of Buck’s

return to Sequoia, when the following

written report caused the Colonel to

sit up and take notice. It was headed:

“Report of Operative No. 41,” and it

read:



Ogilvy in his room until 12 o’clock

noon. At 12:05 entered dining room,

leaving at 1 p. m. and proceeding direct

to office of Cardigan Redwood Lumber

Company. Operative took post behind

a lumber—pile at side of office so as to

command view of interior of office.

From manner of greeting occorded

Ogilvy by Bryce Cardigan, operative is

of opinion they had not met before.

Ogilvy remained in Cardigan’s private

office half an hour, spent another half-

hour conversing with young lady in

general office. Young lady a brunette.

0. then returned to Hotel Sequoia,

where he wrote several letters in writ-

ing-room. At 3 p. m. called to tele«

phone. At 3:02 p. 111 left hurriedly for

Cardigan Redwood Lumber Company’s

oflice. Entered private office without

waiting to be announced. Emerged at

3:12, walking slowly and in deep

thought. At B and Cedar streets

stopped suddenly, snapped his fingers

and started walking rapidly, in the

manner of one who has arrived at a

decision. At 3:24 entered the tele-

phone building and placed a long-dis-

tance call. Operative standing at

counter close by heard him place call

with the girl on duty. He asked for

the Cardigan Redwood Lumber Com—

pany in San Francisco.

Concluded his conversation at 3:32

and proceeded to the city hall, enter-

ing the Mayor’s office at 3:43‘and

emerging at 4:10. He then returned

to the Hotel Sequoia and sat in the

lobby until handed a telegram at 4:40;

whereupon he entered the telephone-

booth and talked to someone, emergi

ing at 4:43 to go to his room. He re«

turned at 4:46 and hurried to the law-

office of Henry Poundstone, Junior, in

the Cardigan Block. He was with

Poundstone until 4:59, when he re—





.turned leisurely to the Hotel Sequoia,





carrying a small leather grip. He also

had this grip when he entered Pound-

stone’s office.



Arrived at the hotel at 5:03 and

went to his room. At 6:45 he entered

a public automobile in front of the

hotel and was driven to No. 846 Elm

Street. The brunette young lady who

works in the Cardigan Redwood Lum-

ber Company's office emerged pres-

ently and entered the car, which then

proceeded to No. 38 Redwood Boule-

vard, where the brunette young lady

alighted and entered the house. She

returned at 7 sharp, accompanied by

a young lady whom she introduced to

0. All three were then driven to the

Canton restaurant at 432 Third Street

and escorted to a reserved table in one

of the screened-off semi~private rooms

along the right side of the dining

room. At 7:15 Bryce Cardigan en-

tered the restaurant and was escorted

by the waiter to the table occupied by

O. and party.



At 9:30 entire party left restaurant

and entered a Napier car driven by a

half-breed Indian whom the second

young lady hailed as George. 0. an

the brunette young lady were dropped

at 846 Elm Street while Cardigan and

the other young lady proceededbdirect-

ly to No. 38 Redwood Boulevard. After

aiding the lady to alight, Cardigan

talked with her a few minutes at the

gate, then bade her good-night and

after waiting until she had disappeared

inside the front door, returned to the

automobile and was driven to his

home, while the chauffeur George ran

the car into the Cardigan garage.



Upon returning to Hotel Sequoia,

found 0. in hotel bar. Saw him‘to bed

at 10 sharp.





Needless to relate, this report had

a most amazing effect upon Colonel

Pennington, and when at length he

could recover his mental equilibruim,

he set about quite calmly to analyze

the report, word by word and sentence

by sentence, with the result that he

promptly arrived at the following con-

clusion: ‘



(1) His niece Shirley Sumner was

not to be trusted in so far as young

Bryce Cardigan was concerned. De-

spite her assumption of hostility to-

Ward the fellow since that memorable

day in Pennington’s woods, the Colonel

was now fully convinced that she had

made her peace with him and had been

the recipient of- his secret attentions

right along. The Colonel was 0 the

verge of calling his niece up dos

mend an explanation, but on second

thought decided to wait a few days

and see what his gum-shoe men might

have to report further.



(2) The N. C. 0. Was still a mys-

tery, but a mystery in which Bryce

Cardigan was interested. Moreover, he

was anxious to aid the N. C. O. in ev-

ery way possible. However, the Col-

onel’ could. understand this. Cardigan

would aid anything that' might possibly

tend to lift the Cardigan lumber inter-

ests out from under the iron heel of

Colonel Pennington and he- was just

young enough and uns0phisticated

enough to be fooled by that Trinidad

Redwood Timber gang.



(3) The N. C. O. was going to make

a mighty bluff, even to the extent of

applying for a franchise to run over

the city streets of Sequoia. Hence Og-

ilvy’s visit to Mayor Poundstone—-

doubtless on the advice of Bryce Car-

digan. Hence, also, his visit to young

Henry Poundstone, whom he had

doubtless engaged as his legal repre-

sentative in order to ingratiate him-

self with the young man's father.

Coarse work!





(4) Ogilvy had carried a small

leather bag to and frOm Henry Pound.

stone’s office. That bag was readily

explained. It had contained a bribe

in gold coin,and young Henry had

been selected as the’go-between. That

meant that Mayor Poundstone had

agreed to deliver the franchise—for a

consideration; and like the smooth

scoundrel hekwas, he wanted his bit

in gold coin, which could not be

marked withOut the marks being dis-

covered! Ogilv-y had called first on

the Mayor to arrange the details; then

he had called on the Mayor’s son to

complete the transaction.





(5) If a_ franchise had been ar- .





ranged for and the bribe already deliv-

ered, that meant the prompt and un-

advertised commencement of opera-

tions. Where (the Colonel asked

himself) would these operatibns be-

gin? Why, close to the waterfront,

where'materials could be landed from

the steamer that brought them to

Sequoia. At whose mill-dock would

these materials be discharged? Why,

Cardigan’s dock, of course.'Ogilvy had‘

probably called first on Cardigan to

arrange that detail. Yes, the N. C. O.

was going to carry its monumental

bluff to the point of building a mile

of track through town. . No»—

no, they wouldn’t spend that much

money on a bluff; they wouldn’t bribe

Poundstone unless the road was

road, and was he disguising it as a

- The trail was growing hot; the

Colonel mapped his brow and concen-

trated, further. It the N. C. O. was

really going to start Operations, in

order to move its material from the

Cardigan dock to the scene of opera-

tions it would have to cut his (the

Colonel's) tracks somewhere on Wa-

ter Street. Damnation. That was it.

They were trying to slip one over on

him. They were planning to get a

jump-crossing in before he should

awake to the situation; they were

planning, too, tohave the city council

slip through the franchise when no-

body was looking, and once the cross-

ing should be in, they could laugh at

Colonel Pennington!



“The scoundrels!” he murmured.

“I’m on to them. Cardigan is playing

the game with them.’ That's why he

bought those rails from the- old Laurel

Creek spur! Oh, the sly young fox—-

quoting that portion of our hauling

contract which stipulates that all spurs

and extensions of my road, once it

enters Cardigan’s lands, must be made

at ‘Cardigan's expense! And all to

fool me into thinking he wanted those

rails for an-extension of his logging-

system. Oh, What a blithering idiot I

have been! However, it’s not too late

yet. Poundstone is coming over to

dinner Thursday night, and I’ll wring

the swine dry before he leaves the

house. And as for thOSe rails Cardi-

gan managed to hornswoggle me out

of ”



He seized the telephone and fai'r'ly

shouted to his exchange operator to

get his woods-foreman Jules Rondeau

on the line:



“That you, Rondau?" he shouted

when the big French Canadian re-

sponded. “Pennington talking. What

has young Cardigan done about those

rails I' sold him from the abandoned

spur up Laurel Creek?”



“He have two flat-cars upon ze spur

now. Dose woods-gang of bees she

tear up dose rails from ze head of ze

spur and load in ze flatcars." -



“The cars haven’t left the Laurel

“No, she don’t leave yet.”



“See to it, Rondeau, that they do

Our Weekly Sermon—311V .4 McCum





MICHIGAN is becoming the



breathing spot of the middle

west. All up and down the shores 01

Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are

cottages. and resorts. In addition to

these are the hundreds of recreation

places near the inland lakes, in which

Michigan abounds. It looks as though

the Creator had designed this part of

the world as a region where jaded

humanity may come and be recreated,

and reposses themselvé’s of the zest

of life. And that is the interpretation

that the people put upon it. For they

come from every state in the Union.

Up here at Bay'View, there are dozens

of cars from south of Mason and Dix-

on’s line, and from the states south-

west. And one really is re-created

here. There is a. something in the air

that makes you breathe deeper, sleep

longer, eat more, and exercise harder

than you do at home. The vegetation

is considerably different from that of

southern Michigan. Very few oaks are

found, but the beech and the birch, the

wild cherry and the maple reach per-

fection. Driving at night, one may





- almost be guided by the white trunks





of the birches along the road. It is too

short a season for peaches to do well,

but apples and plums and cherries

smile from the loaded trees. And the

buildingson many a. farm are such as

to make farmers from other sections

envious.





writer lived here as a, lad. Then

there was a big camp meeting on the

Bay View grounds, to which the 'na-

tives came for miles around. Then

came “Big Sunday,” the Second in

July, usually, which was the Opening

of the Assembly program. And it was

a big Sunday. Farmers and townspeo-

ple, Indians and resorters took it seri-

ously. They took it seriously enough

to come. .The rules forbade any teams

on the association grounds on Sunday,

so the teams were tied in a park near

the railroad. The park was jammed.

Not another team could have gotten in,

tandem. There were comfortable sur-

ries (the old family kind, with two

seats), drawn by a sedate family horse.

There were lumber wagons, fixed up

with three or four seats, for the farm-

er’s family and his next neighbor’s.

One-horse wagons were common, each

with its bundle of hay tied to the rear

axle. And the young chaps often came

in road carts, paintly up smartly. A1-

ways there was at least one ancient

steed, tired with the week’s cultivat-

ing, that went to sleep and fell over,

breaking part of his gear. And, final-

ly, there was the ever-watchful “mar-

shal,” who saw to it that no thieves

came to spoil the meaning of the day.

Up on the association grounds, hun-

dreds of folk spread their dinners on

the grass and then took an after-din-

ner nap. At two thirty there was an-

other meeting, when the preacher got

so warmed up that he took off his coat.

And then both saints and sinners were

served with a. sermon hotter than the

July sun. By three thirty, teams were

being hitched up, and a long proces-

sion began winding its way along vari-

o_us roads homeward, where the cows

were waiting. '





HOSE DAYS are past. Many peo-

ple say they were the “good old

days,” much better than the present.

That is an exaggeration, for the good

old days are a. myth. The good days





are now. But, however that may be,

- the automobile has changed the face





of the landscape. \No farmer comes in

all, it is in his “fliv‘ver,” which he

parks by the side of a super-81x that





 





has just arrived from Arkansas.» In





HINGS have changed, since the'

Then, the young people were lectured



on the iniQuities of theatre going. But -

now we have appropriated some of the



features of the theatre, and are the



richer for it.‘ The other night they .

ga‘ve a pageant in the great auditorium ,

here. Many children and grown-ups ,



were in it, and three thousand people

stayed till ten-thirty to see it through.



It is true that people probably do not.

attend church as largely as they did

some years ago. The automobile is

used to desecrate Sunday by making

it a day of boisterous joy-riding, rather

than a day of rest and recreation. But

I think there will be a. readjustment,

and that the Kingdom will not suffer,

in the long run. I notice that where .

there is a real preacher, who has

something 'to say, he does not lack a.

congregation. Brethren who. “fill in

the time" will doubtless more and

more have the joy of talking to unoc-

cupied pews. The reaction from the

War shows some symptoms of wearing

off. People are not as crazywith ex-

travagance as they have been. With

the return to normal conditions, there,

will also be a. return to the house oil

God.





UT WHY take a vacation, any-



way? A man once said, “I never

have taken a. vacation. I always keep

working.” He would have been. a bet-

ter man if he had taken an occasional

outing. A vacation is tin-investment.

To do the same things all the time,

see the same objects, move in the same

environment, talk with the same peo- .

pie, is deadening. A change means

new life. Nature does this right along.

Trees drop their leaves and take their

winter rest. Birds travel farther than

the autoist from California or Okla-1

homa. The soil that has produced a.

beautiful crop of three dollar potatoes

is allowed a. respite of six months and

is strengthened with fertilizer, besides.

And no man can look at one of Lake

Michigan’s sunsets, when the great

ball of fire slips down behind the

silent, glorified waters, if he has any,

soul at all, without being a more ~

thoughtful and a better man. “The

earth is full of the goodness of the

Lord,”





This country has meant health and

life to thousands of people. Men and

women whose nerve forces seem to

have been exhausted are ‘rej‘uvenated

by this climate. The hay-fever afilio-

tion disappears here. This curious and

exasperating disease which has’been

the despair of the doctors and the vic-

tims, cannot. withstand the air that

dances across the lake, or sweeps the

northern hills. And this is one of

God’s ways of blessing mankind. Here

and there he creates a climate where

certain ills disappear.

_ “Oh,- many things.’ Didn’t I give an

exhibition of my courage in accepting





Ogllvy’s invitation to dinner, knowing





'you were going to be there?”



She did not like that. “You carry

your frankness to extremes,

friend,” she retorted. “I’m sure I’ve

always. been much nicer to you than

you deserve!"



“Nevertheless there wasn’t any valid

reason why I should tantalize myself

last night.”



“Then why did you come?” He had

a suspicion that she was laughing si-

lently at him.



“Partly to please Ogilvy, who has

fallen head over heels in love with

Moira; partly to please Moira, who

wanted me to meet you, but mostly to

please myself, because, while I dread-

ed it, nevertheless I wanted to see you

again. I comforted myself with the

thought that for the sake of appear-

ances w-e dared not quarrel in the

presence of Moira and my friend Ogil-

vy, and I dare say you felt the same

way. A1; any rate, I have seldom had

more enjoyment when partaking of a

meal with an enemy.”





“Please do not say that," she an-

swered. “I am your opponent, but not

your enemy.”



“That’s nice of you. By the way,

Shirley, you may inform your uncle at

breakfast Friday morning about my

connection with the N. C. O. In fact,

I think it would be far better for you

if you made it a point to do so.”



“Why?”



“Because both Ogilvy and myself

have a very strong suspicion that your

uncle has a detective or two on our

trails. There was a Strange man rath~

er prevalent around him all day yes-



‘ terday and I noticed a fellow follow-

ing my car last night. He was on a

bicycle and followed me home. I com-

municated my suspicions to Ogilvy,

and this morning he spent two hours

trying to shake the same .man off his

trail—and couldn’t. So I judge your

uncle will learn’ to-day that you dined

with Ogilvy, Moira, and me last

night.”



“Oh, dear! That’s terrible.” He

could sense her distress.



“Ashamed of having been seen in

my. company, eh?” . '



“Please don’t. Are you quite seri-

ous in this matter?”



“Quite.” _

HE had just come back from a visit



to a friend to whom money was

no object. Everything had been

“right.” Furniture of good lines and

fresh, unmarred finish, floors, perfectly

finished, rugs in tone with the decora-

tions and furniture, and draperies that

just fitted.



Her own home had looked good‘

when she went away, but now every-

thing jarred. She really looked at it

for the first time in many busy

months. Money wasn’t so plentiful

here as at her friend’s, and everything





showed signs of the wear which a

family can give furniture. The couch

and easy chair showed sagging





springs, varnish was noticeable large-

ly by its absence.

plied decorations on sideboard, and

table added to the work of keeping

them clean, and detracted from their

appearance. At first she was discour-

aged and a little inclined to Self-pity.

But she got no further, for she was

an up—and—floing woman. If things

weren’t right, why make them right!

“And she could see a dozen ways to

improve the looks of her belongings.





She began with the sideboard.’ It

was one of those golden oak‘boards,

with a high top, little shelves abutting

a mirror, leaves and fruit glued on,

and fruit and leaves carved in. If that

top were taken off, and the decorations

amputated and a new finish given it,

straight to the telephone she marched

and called up the handy man who did

odd jobs for the women of'the neigh-

borhood. .



A half hour’s consultation started

her on the way ‘to three weeks of do-

ing over, which left her house in a

{holiday dress and herself in a con-

tented state of mind.





First, they attacked the sideboard.





.The top was taken off entirely and -all





the glued-on decorations chiseled off.

The brass knobs, which were tarnished





‘, badly, were removed, and -the holes

lbft. by screws skillfully. filled with page

of wood and putty. The carving was

filled in with a mixture of putty and

cement, smoothed off so cunningly

that not a line could be seen, but this

extra work was not done until the old

varnish had been removed.



This was rather a hard job, and it

was done in this way: She made a

paste of gold dust and hot water, of

the consistency of cream, adding sal

soda to soften the water, and applied

it with a paint brush. This was left

on a half hour, then scrubbed off with

a wire brush borrowed from a decora-

tor and meant; for this purpose. It was

a sticky job, but effective, when all the

varnish was removed, the board was





 





sandpapered, first with coarse sand-

paper, then with fine. . O



The old top was made use. of to fin-

ish the board. - The beveled-edged top





was cut off and fastened to the side-4





board to give the back a finish, and

the mirror was cut out, leaving a

frame about an inch wide. Then mir-

ror and board were given two coats of

black finish, with a most satisfactory

result. ‘



One good feature of the remodeled

board is the arrangement of the space

for dishes belOw the drawers. There

was originally one large compartment.

A shelf half the width of the space

was put in, to leave sufficient height

in front for tall pitchers and other

dishes, and still give extra room for

plates and smaller pitchers and salad

bowls. This feature is worth copying

in cupboards where shelves are ‘so

close together that some dishes can-

not be put in the cupboard at all. Ta-

bles'and chairs‘were stained to match





the board, and the dining room was





complete. .

But the frenzy of refurnishing was

upon-her, so the --wholev~house was

go across the front and end. The back,

shoved against the wall, needed no

fringe, anyway. Springs were retied,

cushions refurbished, and the couch

was as easy a resting ‘spot as a new

davenport would have been.



Bedroom chairs and dressing table

received coats of white enamel. Wick-

'er chairs were scrubbed and varnished,

loose rockers and rounds in easy

chairs were glued in, screws tightened

up, leather rubbed with a coat of oil,





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





and velours dusted and .freshe‘ned. The

kitchen cabinet, which had been

scarred with the food chopper, was

planed down and varnished, and, ev-

erything that showed the signs of use

of old age had its bit of renovating. It

took three weeks for the housekeeper

and her handy man to do the work,

but the result justified the time and

expense. New furniture didn’t seem

half so necessary, and anyhow it

wouldn’t have had the associations of

the old.





Cookies and Kisses .

By’Ida May De Bra '





“ LEASE do not kiss me!”



1' I looked again at the strange sign.

It .was written in large letters on a

cardboard that hung around the neck

of a very pretty girl of about seven

years, who sat opposite me in the

coach. The girl, I learned, was travel-

ing across the continent .alone. To

safeguard her from possible conta-

gion, her parents had hung that card-

board around her neck to keep over-





” affectionate persons from kissing her.





A good idea, I thought! But as I

watched the girl and the interested

admirers who had gathered around her

it appeared to me that her danger was

not 'so much from kisses as from

cookies. In less than an hour she was

fed mere cookies than a child of her

age should eat in two days. And that

took no account of the candy, fruit,





and» cake that were thrust upon her

and which she ate. '



Students have come to believe that

most cases of impaired digestive or:

gans in adults can be traced to im-

proper eating early in life. The child

who is “stuffed” with all sorts of

truck invariably suffers for it in later

life. The colics and cramps of child-

hood are often only warnings of more

serious trouble to come in after years.



A child is a very simple proposition

and, should have simple food at reg-

ular intervals. You cannot show your

love for children by shoving a con-

glomeration of indigestible stuff at

them all the time; you are merely

showing your own thoughtlessness, and

to the child’s injury.

O FARM BOYS have dreams? Do



farm boys ever determine by

themselves whether or not they should

seek a collge education? I know they

do.‘ It was only a few years ago‘that

I had this proposition in my own

hands. Before graduating from high

schcpl, I did not think seriously about

college. Had I considered it more,

there is no question but what many

embarrassing financial’ pains might

have been averted." But the point at

issue is that one should plan to begin

saving moneyéearly in life instead of

depending on jobs that are found dur-

ing school days to furnish all of the

expense money.





As a freshman in college, I found it

rather difficult to earn all of my ex-

penses while it was fairly easy for an

upper classman to succeed. He had

become familiar with existing oppor-

tunities because of one, two or three

years’ previous schooling. As my fath-

er was then a tenant and we were

contemplating buying our own farm, I

had to hunt my own jobs the first

year.





The freshman entering college will

find he must compete with the older

men who are more experienced and

well acquainted with the men who

have good positions to offer. That is

why the freshman should take along





. the money he has saved during his





high school days. It will be found that

many of the good jobs for a collegiate

year will be cornered in the spring

term. The new man entering in the

fall has a handicap. However, if he

hassome help during the freshman

year he will be able to look up some

of the good jobs in the spring that

have been held by his friends in the

upper classes. A good friend among

the seniors has been the financial sal-

vation of many a young man while

struggling through college.





Boys, did you ever consider the ad-

vantage of working for the department

in which you expect to specialize? In





that way you become intimately ac-





quainted with the professors and in-

structors and this frequently results in

the first chance at some good position

to be filled at the close of the senior

year. The, practical experience of

working in the department is valuable

and you gain a large number of facts

that will help you to out-distance your

classmates who never think of the sub-





Why Not Off for College?





Stewart





ject outside of regular

hours. x



If you are interested in chemistry.

there is an opportunity for you to find

a position in the chemical laboratory.

The work will be rough and consist

largely in doing odd jobs,

cleaning apparatus and filling bottles

with chemicals, but you will become

familiar with supplies and learn facts

as valuable as any received in the





classroom





class room. I can trace'isalesmen and





chemists of prominent fertilizer com-

panies back to doing odd jobs in chem-

ical laboratories.



You may be interested in forestry.

botany, horticulture, dairying or farm

crops. All of the special departments

controlling this work can offer occa-

sional work to anyone who enjoys get-

ting out of doors and working in the

flower beds or the forestry nursery.- It

you have been a live stock club mem-

ber and want to specialize in stock

you will find ample opportunity to

spend many hours after ‘school‘ and

Saturdays, working around the barns.

In almost every department there are

positions that furnish a valuable ex-

perience to the worker, and while the

pay may be small, it will prove a great

aid in paying the necessary expenses.



There .are many ways of earning

money to pay or assist in paying the

college expenses. The large part of.

the work might be classed as rather

ordinary but tthe average American

college is a very‘ democratic institu-

tion, and you will not lose the friend-

ship of any fellow because you wait

on table in a boarding club or care for

a furnace. The job of waiting on table

usually brings free board as a com-

pensation, and as board is an import-

ant item in the expense just now, the

job is considered a first class oppor-

tunity. However, it is more difficult

for a freshman to obtain this work

when first entering school than it is

after forming friendships with the up-

per classmen. The work is usually

performed around the 'hour of meal

time, when a large number of the boys

will waste their time. It interferes in

no way with the program of studies.

During the latter part of the spring

term, most seniors will be so busy

that they will need a substitute. Hero

is where you make good use of friend-

ship and then put the best you have in

your new venture.

HarVesting Corn With Hogs





(Continued from page 373).

factors being equal, the greater num-

ber of hogs used, the better their ap-





petites, the bigger the hogs, the light-'





er yield of corn and the less danger

of hail, wet weather and muddy fields

the larger may be the fence-d areas to

insure uniform results.



Most farmers familiar with the prac-

tice of hogging down corn, make use

of large fields, but fence off a few

acres at a time with ordinary twenty<

six-inch woven wire, thus making sure

that all the corn is utilized. A major-

ity. of corn belt farmers use corn

stalks for posts, and if necessary rein-

force with stakes set where needed to

greatest advantage. The most practi-

cal suggestions that might be passed

on to the prospective convert is first of

all to use strong, well set corner posts.

If the stalks are strong and heavy, the

wire may be tied to them with binder

twine. In case the stalks are inclined

to be weak, drive a few stakes with

a sledge, stretch tight and the hogs

will not break out.





Advantages and Disadvantages.



Among other disadvantages hogging

down corn hardens the land, there is

some waste in wet weather, some loss

of stover, brood sows and gilts get too

fat: heavy hogs may cause a waste-

taxes extra care to turn into new corn

and the stalks are harder to plow un-

der. But for one of these disadvan-

tages there are three advantages.





The advantages to be obtained are

numerous. Labor is saved in hand-

ling the cofii. It eliminates the neces-

sity of husking, cribbing and reloading

to feed in theyard. It stimulates the

gathering of early seed corn". As the

hogs are in the corn, there is no hold-

ing back because of the danger of

breaking down the rows. Some farm~

ers prefer to carry a \sack, but this is

heavy, discouraging work. It is pos—

sible for two men with a wagon and

team to gether enough seed for 100

acres in half a day and in no way in--

jure the corn for hogging down.



Among other things storage charges

are'eliminated; no cribs or elevators

are deemed a necessity. There is no

loss from rats and mice getting in the

cribs. Hog manure is nearly as high

in value as poultry manure, which

contains a greater fertilizing value

than that from any other animal, and

ser risk involved, and the farmer’s

money may be used for some other

enterprise. The hogs are able to util-

ize every grain, some of which would

be lost in an attempt to harvest by

hand.



Brood sows that are to farrow

spring litters may be advantageously

turned into the field to gather their

own corn and supplement, receiving a

much needed wealth of exercise.



Ofttimes, it occurs that during the

rush of the farrowing season a goodly

portion of the spring plowing must

receive attention. These circumstances

may be removed by allowing the hogs

to clean up the field and put the

ground in readiness for early fall

plowing.





f

Pigs which have been reCeiving all





the grain they will eat should be ac-

customed gradually to new corn and

full feed before they are turned into

the standing corn. This is especially

true if much of the corn is down and

the pigs are well grown. Under aver-

age conditions the corn should be well

dented before hogging down begins.

Well grown shoats are best adapted to

this method of feeding and they will

grow faster and clean the corn up

more thoroughly if not fat when turn-

ed into the field. Gilts that are in-

tended for the breeding herd should

be watched closelyand removed from

the field before there is any tendency

of overfatness. It is often necessary

to turn in a few brood sows to clean

up after the pigs, or to break down the

corn stalks for the youngsters that are

not able to do it for themselves. They

should not be allowed to become so

heavy that their breeding qualities

may become impaired.



It is of great advantage ,to the farm-

er to have some inkling as to the num-

ber of pigs 8. given area will accommo~

date, and how long. The farmer should

not turn over more acres than the

hogs are capable of utilizing, before

the winter season arrives. This sea-

son usually ranges from fifty to sixty

days. Many farmers recommend fenc-

ing off the plots in such areas that

each field will be cleaned up in fifteen

to twenty days.

HOSE who have an occasional our-

plus‘ cow or heifer to sell on the

beef market, thoser'who make a prac-

tice of fattening cows and heifers, and

those who feed cheap steers which

compete with butcher stock in the

dressed beef trade will find something

useful in the accompanying graphs of

fat cow and heifer prices. A normal

seasonal trend is indicated by the av-

erage prices by months at Chicago.

Except for the difference in level, it





holds for the five years affected by the.





war, much the same as for the ten

years prior thereto.



It appears that fat cows and heifers

or butcher stock are scarcest in the

early spring, which fact usually serves

to bring the level of prices upon such

catfle to a climax in May.. On the

centers. These compete with butcher





stock for the favor of consumers of





the cheaper grades of beef, and fat

cow and heifer prices are bound to

sag.



As the season advances the cows

and heifers, fat from grass, are ready

to market in increasingly large num-

bers. The range rush becomes more

and more potent, as a depressing influ-

ence. The lowest level arrives during

the general fall clean-up season, pre-

paratory to the approach of winter.



During the last five years the aver—

age diiference between May and No-

vember, the high and low months re-

17% per cent from the high month.

farms most of females that have been

carried over the winter have calves

at foot at this time. The weeding out

process and disposal of surplus has

been completed long before this sea-

son is reached. During the spring

months cows and heifers are wanted

to restore depleted breeding herds,

and to occupy grazing lands, as well

as for beef, which fact furnishes an

other pillar of support under butcher

stock prices.



During the last half of June and in

July declines are the customary order.

Some if the early calves are ready to

wean, Texas usually sends a good deal

of suitable stock, and later in July

range cattle begin to appear at market





amounted to 85 cents, or a decline of

161/2 per cent from the high.



The butcher stock market in a meas-

ure is a shadow of the beef steer mar-

ket. If conditions in the fat cattle

trade are unfavorable to the expres-

sion of the normal tendency in fat cdw

and heifer prices, the result ‘will not

be the usual one. ‘



Some corn belt feeders have found

it profitable to purchase the lower

grades of feeders in the late fall and

feed them for the spring market. Part

of the reason for the success of this

operation lies in the usual deficit of

the stock on the market at that time,

which helps the sale of the cheaper

grades of beef steers.

about 20 hatcheries operated on a





large scale,.and this area is estimated

to produce an average of 35,000 to

WHEAT





Foreign demand for wheat has been

much less active and Liverpool reports

that the United Kingdom has enough

wheat on hand to last to February 1,

1921. In view of the amount of ex.-

ports already made and of the sales for

future shipment, it will not take large

purchases to absorb the remainder of

the surplus in this country. Flour buy-

ers have been holding back waiting for

lower prices and banks have been un-

willing to finance big purchases to sup-

ply long distance needs. The demand

from mills will help to support the

price level in case the foreign demand

subsides. That mills want wheat is

indicated by the fact that over 1,000,-

000 bushels of Canadian Northern

Spring have been purchased by Min-

neapolis and eastern plants, owing to

inability to buy enough choice grain in

this country. The holding tendency on

the part of the producer is the main

factor in holding down receipts which

have become relatively small from the

winter wheat sections. Red winter is

scarce and prices in the southwest ad-

vanced to around 10 to 12 cents pre—

Indications point





CORN





New crop deliveries of corn have de-

clined to the lowest figures since No-

vember, 1917, due largely to the excel—

lent weather of late for maturing the

crop and to a slow demand for the cash

grain. The price of cash corn has

dropped over 50 cents from the recent

high point. That there will be much

soft grain this season regardless of

weather conditions from now on is gen-

erally admitted, but at the present

time this feature in the situation is be-





,ing ignored, and it will probably con-





tinue to be until after the first killing

frost, the average. date of which in the

states of largest production is still two

to three weeks away. The average

amount of merchantable corn the past

ten ye rs has been 2,211,000,000 bush-

els. ,ith a 3,131,000,000 crop forecast-

ed the amount of frosted corn might be

considerable and yet leave more than

an average amount of merchantable

corn. The demand for cash corns of

late has been very slow. Industries

are grinding at either reduced capacity

or have shut down, and the burden of

carrying the cash grain has been plac-

ed on the speculator. The price has

dropped to a point where little better

than $1.10 could be obtained at loading

points in Illinois and some grain had

to be sold for less. The financing of





TS



The cat market has been dull with

all deliveries at the lowest price on the

crop. Domestic and foreign demand is

slow and visible stocks at terminal

markets have increased from 3,600,000

SEEDS





As stated in last. week’s report, the

Bureau of Crop Estimates forecasts a

yield of 31.8 per cent more clover seed

than 'a year ago. The Bureau of Mar-

kets estimates a 20 per cent increase

in medium red clover seed and an in-





'crease of 10 to 20 per cent in alsike





clover seed over 1919.“, Both acreage

and yield per acre are above last year.

Rains in July helped the crop through

what is usually a critical time. The

carry-over of alsike seed in dealers'

hands is believed to be small, but the

carry-OVer of medium red cloveris es-

timated at about 12,000,000 pounds, as

against 1,838,000 pounds a year ago.

Prices for country-run seed are about

$19@26 compared with $32@43. This

decline has discounted a big part of

the increase in yield and carryover.





FEEDS





With abundant pasturesable to car-

ry live stock in all sections late into

the fall, big buyers well supplied by

purchases made before the freight

rate increase, bankers opposed to pur-

chases for storage, with live stock pro-

ducers reducing their operations and

disposed to reduce expenses of opera-

tion as far as possible, and with feed

grains and hays seeking lower levels,

the mill feed and oil meal markets

have had to carry a big burden. Re-

cent rains have, damaged the cotton-

seed prospect and mill feed output is

only about one-third to one-half of nor-





 





 





mal, but the other factors have been

more influential. Quotations per ton in





HAY ’ ,

Pastures and ranges were never.in

better condition in recent years than

they have been this fall. The demand

for hay is slack. The supply of feed





grains is near a record in. size and





funds for the purchase of hay for stor-

age are hard to obtain. The better

gradeg of hay. particularly alfalfa, are

strong, considering the bearish condi-

tions in the market. An unusual

amount of moldy and heated hay is ar-

riving and such grades are selling at

low prices considering freight“ costs.





Wool dealers and manufacturers are

anxious to have the price basis estab-

lished but are Waiting for the other

extent. '

. cents for one-half—blood clothing. Other





pools refuse to sell at that figure. Quo-

tations are still nominal.





POTATOES "





The market opened weak and show-

ed no particular recovery at any time

during the week. Receipts were about

normal, but heavy shipments foretell

heavy, arrivals and the trade is bearish

all along the line. Prices began» a de-

cline on Wednesday, which continued





through the week, closing on Saturday 56





at $2@2.25 per cwt. for both northern

fancy stock is not plentiful and meets

with fair demand. Prices have declin-

ket, cl sees and grades of live stock

ilarly other terms differ more or less.1,

Since we quoted several ‘markets on’

sirable that these various terms be

used in the same sense in referring to

all markets and that is what we are?

delicate undertaking. Many urge that;

present usage should not be interfered.

with, but we believe that a greater de-

gree of standardization in live stock

market classes is desirable and any

temporary difliculty which may arise

is more than~offset by the benefit of

getting rid of the present confusion.

Later on we will present some descrip»

tions of these 'market classes. In the

used. Our live stock market editor,

SEPTEMBER BULGE IN THE HOG

MARKET.





 





FTER a disappointing summer in



_ which hog values remained below

expectation, the hog market took a de-

cided turn for the better. Prices are

$1 to $1.50 higher than a week ago, the

Chicago top reaching $18, but the mar-

kets closed weak So that the upward

swing may have Spent its force. Fat

packing sows sold above $16, which

was the figure on the best butchers

only a short time ago. Evidently the

prospect of cheap corn is leading to

receipts at

leading markets not expanding prompto

ly in spite of the attractive price.
