Spotting the Layers





HE average person should not try the impossible, and it

is impossible for the ordinary farmer, as well as the most

skillful poultryman, to succeed with he‘ns which lack the

capacity or ability for egg production. Slacker hens fed the most

practically prepared feeds, housed in the best quarters and given

queenly care, have—not the remotest idea of gratitude for they

siinply will not produce eggs under the most persistent urging.

Laying birds are just as necessary to the successful poultry

venture as are good seeds to the enterprising gardner. Having

the PFOdncing kind, then, the actual efficiency in egg production

rests with the person operating the machinery.

The man or woman who looks to the poultry department or

the farm .for its proportionate contribution to the farm income





naturally asks, “Can the layers be separated from the slack-

ers?” The economy of such a practice goes unchallenged but

the average farmer is concerned about the practical phases in—

volved. The poultry specialist may have known for many years

that the non-layer could be spottedswithout the use of the trap

nest, but the average keeper of fowls has not been acquainted

with the practice until very recently, and although much has

been written upon‘the question and many demonstrations by

extension men have been given, it appears that the greatest pro-

gress in spreading the gospel of poultry culling has been made

in those communities where 'the boys and girls have formed

poultry clubs. When culling becomes common the poultry busi-

ness will enter a new economic era.

DETROIT, OCTOBER 16, 1920'

CURRENT COMMENT





T is a matter of



great importance to

the welfare of the

state that every voter

give careful attention

to all proposed amend-

ments to the constitution of the state

which are submitted to them at any

general election. This has always been

important, but is more important than

ever, since the application of the initia-

-tive in‘ the submission of proposed

amendments to the fundamental law

laid down for state government, since

the text of proposed amendments may

be written by anybody with sufficient

following to secure the required num-

ber‘of signatures to a petition for its

submission, and in case the interest of

the voters is not general, a compara—

tively small rate may secure the adop-

tion of . important amendments to the

constitution, the letter or spirit of

which may not be in accord with the

views-of a majority of the voters of the

state. Every progressive step in the

development of popular government

carries with it added responsibility and

duty for the citizen, which the great

'body of good citizens must recognize

and discharge if such progress is to be

real and beneficial, rather than appar-

ent and of doubtful benefit if not actu-

ally harmful. The matter of constitu-

tional amendments is no exception to

this general rule. In fact, it is.prob-

ably its most important application.

For this reason we are, as has been

our rule in the past, publishing the

proposed constitutional amendments to

be submitted to the electors at the

coming November election, with such

explanations as seem to make their

meaning clear, and urge every voter

to express his approval or disapproval

of them on election day. There are

five proposed amendments to be sub«

mitted as follows:



The proposed amendment to Section

21 of Article VI of the Constitution is

as follows:



“Section 21. The governor and at-

torney-general shall each receive an

annual salary of five thousand dollars.

The secretary of state, state treasurer

and auditor-general shall each receive

such annual salary as may be prescrib~

ed by law. They shall receive no fees

or perquisites whatever for the per-





formance of any duties connected with

the office.” ,





This proposed amendment, if adopt-

ed. will authorize and empower the

legislature to fix the compensation of»

certain state officers as indicated in

the text.

1 of Article III of the Constitution:

as follows: , i ,;.- - '

have power to enact laws relative to

the.hours and conditions under‘ which'

ed, .wiil empower the legislature to

enact laws‘prelativ'e to the hours and





absentvotersfprivneges to teachers in





"conditionsrunder which men as well as .





women and children may be employed.





Theipr’oposed amendment to Article

XIII of the Constitution is as follows:



“Section 5. SubjeCt to this Constitu-

tion the legislature may authorize Inu-

nicipalities, subject to reasonable limi-

tations, to condemn and to take the

fee to more land and property than, is

needed in the acquiring, opening and

widening of parks, boulevards, public

places, streets, alleys, or for any pub-

lic use, and after so much of the land

and property has been appropriated

for any such needed public-purpose,

the remainder may be sold or leased

with or without such, restrictions as

may be appropriate to the improve-

ment made. Bonds may be issued to

supply the funds to pay in,whole or in

part for the excess property so ap-

propriated, but such bonds shall be a

lien only on the property so acquired

and they shall not be included in any

limitation of the bonded indebtedness

of such municipality.", , ’



This proposed amendment, if adopt-

ed, will empower the legislature to au-

thorize municipalities to condemn

more land than is necessary for parks,

boulevards, etc., and to issue bonds

therefor.





The proposed amendment to Article

XI of the Constitution is as.follows:



“Section 16.. All residents of the

state of Michigan, between the ages of

five years and sixteen years, shall at-

tend the public school in their. respec-

tive districts until they have graduat-

ed from the eighth grade; Rrovided,

that in districts where the‘grades do

not reach the eighth, then all persons

herein described in such district shall

complete the course taught therein.”



“Section 17. The legislature shall

enact all necessary legislation to_ren-

der section sixteen eflfective.”



The efiect of this proposed amend-

ment, if adopted, will be to compel all

residents of the state of Michigan be.

tween the ages of five years and six-





teen years to attend the public schools





Live Stock-





HE outcome of the conferénce'of



representatives of various farm-



ers’ live stock organizations held

at Chicago on October 8, was the" rec-

ommendation that the chairman of the

meeting, J. R. Howard, president of

the American Farm Bureau Federation,

appoint a “Committee of Fifteen” rep

resentatives of these organizations to

investigate live stock marketing prob-

lems and report to a later conference

to be called by Mr. Howard.





The real keynote speech of the meet-

ing came in the middle of the program

when H. W. Mumford, director of live

stock marketing for the Illinois Agri-

cultural Association, discussed live

stock problems. He .declared that the

leading problems were:





1. Stabilization of live stock markets

and. the elimination of disastrous

breaks. .



2. Maintaining a market based pri-

marily upon the cost of feeds used in

the production of live stock during the

period of production. ' . .



3. The lack of a proper relation be-

tween the price which the producer to—

ceives and the consumer pays. ‘ .

'live stock at markets.

Cow Tests

Breeders





pure-bred dairy cattle, as Well as the

methods of conducting local cow-test-

ing associations cannot fail to impress

the thoughtful student of breeding

problems that action could profitably

be taken to put the local cow-testing

association work on some basis Where-

by the yearly-records made under the

supervision of the local tester might

be given 'credit by the Various breed

associatibns of the' country. 'As we un-

derstand the matter it is purely a ques-

tion for the state authorities to de-

termine.



There is 'no' denying the fact that

there are several difficulties to over-

come, such as securing more compe-

tent men to handle the work, and put-

ting ‘the general work under more

strict supervision of state dairy author-

ities. One of the advantages -of such

a system of conducting “cow-testing

work would be the fact'that it would

encourage more breeders of dairy cat-

tle to keep accurate production records

and exercise greater care in the selec-

tion and mating of breedingfstock. Un~

der the present system of conducting

seven-day, thirty-day and semi-official

yearly tests the breeder who has only

a few cows hesistates about taking up

testing work because of the expense of

conducting short tests and condition-

ing his cows for the supreme trial. As

a result when he offers his animals

for sale one or two generations of un-

tested dams makes a break in‘the ped-

igrees which tends to lower prices.

of stockprs and feeders to be purchas-

HERE _used to be a theory that

a cooperative marketing organi-

zation could not be a success

until the industry was nearly down

and out. “Farmers won’t work togeth-

er when they have any money in their

pockets,” said the theorists. They

won’t cooperate until they are com-





pelled by dire necessity to do so. They





won’t learn the principles of cooperar'

tion until they have gone broke, or at

least are. badly bent.” This idea was

so generally accepted at one time in

California that most students of coop-

oration regarded it as one of the fun-

damentals to success in cooperative

marketing.



Along came the prune growers in

1917 and dropped a bomb upon this

theory. The prune growers.were rea-

sonably prosperous when they organ-

ized, and their industry was distinctly





. on the up-grade. For several years be-





fore 1917, there had been some money

made in producing prunes. Growers

had suffered a good many ups and

downs in times past however, and they

organized to make permanent their

temporary prosperity.



The old theory was badly shattered

when the prune growers’ organization

started operations- It completely dis-





“ appeared in a year or





two because the Cali-





fornia Prune and Apri-





cot Growers, Inc., soon.

developed into the near— _

est approach to perfec-





‘tion that has come out





(if the cooperative mar-

keting movement in

California. ’



,Ups and Downsof



Prune Growing.



The cause of the al-

ternhte periods of de-

pression and prosperity

w'hich formerly prevail-

ed in the prune indus-

try was thus described

to me by Sheridan W

Baker, a leading grower

in Santa Rosa county.

“We produced prunes"

the best we knew how,”

he said. “A high de-

gree of skill in produc-

tion was developed

among the growers. A‘

period of good prices al-





-ways resulted in stimu-





lating the industry and

inducing larger plant-

ings. When these new

trees came into bearing,

there was a period of over-production

and low prices, and this resulted in

orchards being pulled out.



“Soon the pendulum sw-ung to the

other extreme, and we were riding on

the crest of prosperity.

that was made the good years was lost

in; the poor years ' that ‘followed as

surely as day follows night. 'I have

observed, too, that this same rule ap-

plies to nearly all kinds of {farming ex-

cept where stabilization has been af-





~ fected by cooperative organization.”





Loc‘al Associations Failed.

The prune growers made a number

of attempts to organize in periods of





Vdepression as, long ago as 1900, but





the organization thus formed soon fail-

ed. Growers, in each prune-growing

community formed separate associa-

tions, but the speculators played one





«_5t,v.aygainst the other and broke up the lo-

.. (cal associations.

strated more strikingly than in the

prune industry. Time after time the

prune growers in Santa Clara, of Santa

Rosa, of Sonoma, and of other districts

termed their separate organizations

and saw them follow each other into

early graves. Because of the lack of a

central agency to gather information,

direct sales and weld the business of

the locals together, the locals quarrel-

ed among themselves and went to piec-

es. It reminds one of the, sage saying

of Benjamin Franklin, “We must all

hang together, or we will hang separ-

ately.”



Another thing which kept the~prune

growers from uniting, was the jealousy

which existed between various sec-

tions. . Santa Clara growers weresure

that their prunes were better than

those grown in the Santa Rosa district,

and vice versa.



A Broader Viewpoint.



Finally in the spring of 1917 the

growers did succeed in uniting upon

one proposition—that they were not

getting their ,share of the consumers’

prime dollar. “Prunes are selling too

high in‘New York in comparison to

what we get for them,” they said.

They began looking upon the proposi-

tion from the standpoint of the indus-





try and not from the standpoint of in-

dividual growers or of districts. When

the point was reached, it was easy to

organize a.state-Wide association of

market prunes. The apric‘ot growers

joined, too, as apricots and prunes

grow in the same districts, are proc-

essed and handled much alike, and

seek the same markets.



For general manager of the new as-

sociation, the prune growers selected

H. G. Coykendall, part producer and

part packer, a shrewd business man

who knew the prune game as well as

any man knew any business. He had

the entire confidence of the growers,

as he had helped previous organiza—

tions sell the crops of their members.

Developing Machines for-Marketing.



.In four months time Coykendall and

the intrepid, souls working with him

had succeeded in ’getting seventy per

cent of the prune and apricot growers





gin California to pledge their entire





new marketing machine to handle a

one hundred and ten thousand ton

crop of prunes, which had always been

marketed through the eight or ten big

speculative firms which formerly dom-

inated the dried fruit business of the

Pacific Coast. They had to provide

warehouses and packing sheds, secure

an outlet for the product, and above

all, had to finance the undertaking—

all in one short summer. L



It is a tribute to the resourcefulness

and skill of the leaders in this. new

movement that the prune and apricot

crop of 1917 moved to market in ma-

chine-like fashion, almost like it had

always gone through the new channel.

The association fixed a price upon the

prunes it controlled, sold them at that

price and paid the growers the money

received, less the cost of handling the

crop and marketing it That same pro-

cedure has been followed each year

since. 1



The Contract with the Growers.



The prune and apiicot assom ations,

like the raisin growers, citrus growers

and all other cooperative organizations

in California, has a contract with the

growers which binds them to deliver

all the dried fruit produced to the as-

sociation plants. If a grower fails to





H. G. Coykendall is General Manager while Mrs. R. G. Wallace Looks After Sales.





do so, he may be sued for breach of

contract, in fact, a few such suits are

brought each year to make examples

of a few flagrant violators.



“Our contracts have been held by

the courts to be legal and binding,”

said Manager Coykendall. “We do not

spy1on the growers to see whether or

not they are fulfilling the contracts.

The other growers take care of that,

and public opinion as a matter of fact,

is the agency which keeps contracts in

force. The chief and almost only

agency .which causes these contracts

to be broken is the speculators, who

occasionally offer one grower a premi-

um in order to cause tiouble in the

association ”



Getting Ready to Market.



The association now operated twen-

-ty~six packing plants of its own, and

has arranged with other packers to

handle its fruit through their houses.

The prunes are dried, processed, grad-





;the 'ssociation for a term at ed, standardized and packed The grad-





»





The number of -, prunes per pound de—

termines the grade of prunes, and to

a considerable extent the price, also.



Eveiy growe1 received the same

price pe1 pound f01 the same quality

of fruit.



Thele is no speculating in prunes

any more. Every grower has the same

chance at the market as every other

grower, and nobody has any advantage.

The crop is pooled, and separate ac-

countings are made to the growers for

every separate quality and size‘of fruit

they produced. When the year is over

all have received the same rate of pay

for equal quality of fruit.



Financing Crop Movement.



An advance to the growers ‘is made

at the time the crop IS delivered to

the association. This is about two-

thirds of the amount expected to be

paid for that grade that year. in order

to make the first payments, it is nec—

essary for the association to borrow

large sums of money. This was for-

merly very difficult to do, but the

banks of California have learned that

there is no better security than the

note of a cooperative marketing asso-

ciation, because that note is backed by

the whole crop which the association

handles for its members.



As the prunes are

sold, money comes in,

the notes for the ad-

vances are taken up and

the growers are paid

the difference due them.



It takes nearly a year



for final payment to be



made, thong h fiom sev-

- enty- -five to ninety per

cent of the sale price is

received by the grower

in the first three months

after crop delivery.

An Organization With-

out Profit.

The California Prune

and Apricot Growers,



Inc., was at first a stock



company but was



changed this year into

a. non—profit organiza-

tion w i t h o u t capital

stock. E a c h grower

now pays a member-

ship i'ce of $10. The

growers by districts se~

lect a voting board of

thirty—nine, which elects

the directors, who in



turn have executive di—



rection of the affairs of



the company. The vot-

ing board is the same as the voting

trust of the raisin growers, described

in detail last week.



The voting board elects all the di-

rectors but one, who is chosen by the

governor of the state to represent the

public. A number of California coop-

erative associations have this public

representative.



This public representation is a de-

liberate bidtfor the support of the gen-

eral public, as the cooperators believe

that the people will be back of any in-

stitution which they believe is oper-

ated with due regard for their rights.

“This has been one of the fundamental

reasons for the success of our market-

ing associations,” declares Aaron Sap-

iro, attorney for several of the organ-

izations. “But imagine the railroad

asking the government to put a' repre-‘



sentative of the public on its board of

directors. ' ”

What is farm land in the upper pe-

the results of which may interest your

readers. The appraiser for the Fed-

territory this section of the state is

situated, finds the highest priced farm

lands to be located in the counties of

Menominee, Delta,‘ Chippewa, and

Houghton, where appraisals run as

high as one hundred dollars per acre





. with actual sales at a higher figure.





Occasionally, too, thisvaluation is at-

tained in Marquette county. The as~

sistant state leader'of county agents

for the upper peninsula, places the

most valuable farm lands in Menomi;

as $150 per acre, he says. Normally,

in Marquette county the better grades

of improved farm lands sell at $50 to

$60 per acre, I am told by County

Agent L. R. Walker. On the other

hand, we have large tracts of cutover

lands—there are estimated to be 12,-

values run from $7.00 to $20 per acre.

The Weekly Weather and ,Crop Bul‘

letin issued by the office of the United

States Weather Bureau at Grand Rap-

ids, mentions killing frosts as having





occurred in the upper peninsula on





September 19. This applies only to

certain areas. The high table land ex-

tending throughout the western half

of the peninsula from Negaunoe to

Ironwood, with elevations from seven

hundred to fourteen hundred feet

frosts, although a week ago I saw corn

near Ironwood as yet uninjured in this





way. There is likewise a low, swampy

region in the eastern half of the dis"





trict where early frosts may be expect-

ed., It is otherwise along the lake

shores, hundreds of miles in extent,

where the'lakes temper the atmos-

phere. Thus there have at this writ

ing been no killing frosts in Marquette

-——or any frosts for that matter, and

peach trees, corn, tomatoes and other

garden vegetation are as unfrosted

now as at any time this season.





That the upper peninsula is a great“

storehouse of the raw materials of fin





dustry is well known, but how varied

are its mineral products are scarcely

appreciated even within the district

itself. The farmers of the region are

coming to have an interest in the vast

deposits of high-grade limestone found

in the eastern portion of the district,





whose calcium carbonate content runs .





as high as ninety-eight per- cent and





occasionally higher, when water is re?





moved. Five carloads of limestone

were brought into Marquette county

this spring by local farmers as a. soil

corrective, obtained in this case from





Sault Ste. Marie, where it is to be had '





as a cast-on by-product but in a highly

pulverized form adapted to farm use.

Much of the product of our limestone

quarries goes to the steel works at

Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and Duluth,

to the copper smelters of the copper

country and to carbide plants. Only

the coarsest pieces are removed, the

finer pieces being dumped as waste.

Eventually an agricultural demand for

this waste material may conceivably

arise, for his exCeedineg cheap, and

the railroad companies which handle it

’-—the “800 Line” and the “South

Shore”———tranhport it at a low rate.

Thus the rate from the quarry at Fi-

born to Duluth, before the recent ad-

vance of freight rates, was $1.62 per

ton; to the copper country, $1.48 per

ton, and to Marquette, 94.5 cents per

ton. The two railroads are now hand-

ling about fifty carloads per day of this

limestone. , .



The Michigan Pioneer and Historical

Society expects to hold its 1921 upper





peninsula meeting at L’Anse, in con-_





junction with the annual Indian camp-

meeting held at Pequaming on the

shore of Keweenaw Bay,

miles distant. The L’Anse tribe of

Chippewas has had a. reservation there

since the Indian Tréaty of 1854, and

then farmsteads are passed as one pro-

ceeds along the beautiful drive on the

eastern shore of the bay.

In order to prevent the Michigan

Prof. J. F. Cox, of the Farm Crops De-

tion to the fact that for the first time

in four years it can be purchased new

at a relatively low prtce. The Michi~

ing held just a few days ago, an old

dynamiter who had been Clearing

"‘What "we had been doing back

there for years was just grubbing and.





chopping and this idea looked good. I '

’ started work on the railroad then





along with the gang that was digging

stumps.

doing for





awhile and finally Iabegan to

wonder ll?





we could lift those stumps





with a little dynfiam'ite why we couldn’t',





blow them out. of the ground with a

little more. The idea worked, and af-

ter that I have used dynamite for blow-

ing stumps ever since.” And then the

odd part of the story came along. Here

was a man who had been clearing land

for thirty or forty years, yet this is





what he said: “And I want to tell you

right now that I come to your meet—

ings and demonstrations and learn

something new from them every time.”

Cheaper Dynamite Used.



But when the work With dynamite

was started a few years ago, the dyna-

mite which has since played such an





important part in land clearing was ‘.





not in use. The original dynamite con-

tained large quantities of nitro-glycer—

ine and generally caused the so-c‘alled

“dynamite h'eadache;” it was higher

priced; it froze readil'yr and was there-

fore less convenient in thaWing it;

there was always more or less danger,

and lastly, it was less efficient com-

pared with the present explosive.

Then in cooperation with one of the

large powder'companies came a close

study of the problem and the manufac-

ture of “twenty per cent” dynamite,

which has greatly reduced the previ-

ous objections. And the nitroglycer-

ine content has been cut so low that

there is much less injury possible from

the poisonous gases or from handling

than with the old-fashioned expl'osive.

Sugar Beet: Improve Daring tag Past Manta





' AS the end of the season approaches.

the condition of the principal crops

remains well above the average in

Michigan. The warm, dry weather and

almost entire absence of frost during

September was generally favorable.

There was no material decline in the

prospects of any crop except potatoes,

which are showing disappointing yields

in some important sectiOns. Corn,

beans and sugar beets made gains the

past month, and all of the fruits except

grapes are yielding a larger crop than

expected. With the exception of spring

wheat, all crops included in the Octo-

ber inquiry of the joint crop reporting

service, under the direction of Verne

H. Church, Agricultural Statistician,

United States Bureau of Crop Esti-

mates, and Coleman C. Vaughan, Sec-

retary of State, are well above the ten-

year average.





Wheat.——The winter wheat crop is

estimated to have been 12,855,000 bush-

els; a yield of fifteen bushels

per acre. The spring wheat crop

is very poor, both in quantity and qual-

ity. The estimated production is 462,-:

000 bushels, the estimated yield per

acre being 11.0 bushels. Therefore, the

state’s total wheat crop is placed, at

13,317,000 bushels. Of this amount, 28

per cent was marketed upto October

1, or 3,729,000 bushels. The amount

marketed during September was 2,301,-

000 bushels.



. Corn.—— While late in ripening, the

absence of frost in September until

near the close permitted it to mature

well. It'is well-cared except in a few

southwestern counties that suffered

severely from a drought lasting nearly

the entire season. The condition'is

92 per cent as compared with 88 per

cent one month ago. If all of the

acreage, including that for silos, were

matured for grain the total production

would be 63,690,000 bushels, or within

less than 1,000,000 bushels -- of last

year’s crop.



Oats—Notwithstanding the unfavor-

able conditions early in the season, an

average yield of 38.5 bushels per acre

was obtained. This yield was only ex-

ceeded in 1915 and1918. during the last

sixteen years. The total production

is placed at 55,671,000 bushels. The

feeding value of the crop is relatively





good, but owing to discoloration by.





rains in some sections, those going in-

to market channels are necessarily

lowered in grade.



Barley—The .quality is generally

geod except that many fields were dis-

-colored by rains in the eastern coun-

ties. The estimated yield is 27 bush-

els per acre, making a total cm of

6,966,000 bushels as compared wit .5,-

320,000 bushels produced last year.. he

United States crop is 25,000,000 great-

er than last year.



Potatoes—The outlook for potatoes

has dropped six per cent during the

paSt.month. This material decline is

due to a pronounced falling off in the

“ prospects in some of the best potato

» districts. . 'Kalkaska county dropped



from 93 to 57 per cent, in condition;





Wexfordcounty from 93 to 68 per cent;

Grand Traverse county from 96 to 77

per cent; and the entire northwest'dis-

trict, comprising ten counties, from 96

to 79 per cent. In many fields the po-

tatoes are small in size. and a large

percentage will grade as No. 2 stock.

The decline is attributed mainly to

aphis and' leaf hoppers. Late blight

has appeared'in some localities, chief-

ly in the southeastern part of the state,

the nature and extent of the damage

from which is not yet manifest. The

state’s crop is estimated at 34,760,000

and the United States crop at ’414,986,-

000 bushels as compared with 28,688,-

000 and 357,901,000 bushels, respec-

tively, last year. '





Buckwheat—The crOp in most sec-

tions is well filled and the outlook is

for 86 per cent of a crop, or 706,000

bushels. - Last year’s crop was 662,000

bushels. The crop of the 'United States





is slightly less than that of last year.

Beans—The crop in many" counties





was harvested under ideal weather





conditions; in others, rains have caus-

ed some damage. Blight shortened the

yield in portions of the bean belt, but

excellent yields are ‘reported from oth-

er sections. The outlook is for a crop

of approximately 3,686,000 bushels as

against 4,030,000 bushels last year.

Clover Seed—The information se-

cured through the inquiry relative to

yield indicates the average to be 19

bushels per acre, or a total crop of

144,000 bushels. Last year’s crop was

estimated at 101,000 bushels. The Unit-

ed States cropis also nearly 50 per

cent greater than last year, being esti-

mated ;at 1,576,000 bushels. '

Others will be late hatched and of less

very uncertain. .



It pays to check up all the birds at

night and know exactly how many of

each sex and age are on the farm.

This not only helps to control poultry

stealing from thieves and other pests

but gives the farmer a definite idea of

his poultry business for the coming

year. The early-hatched pullets can

be marked. Only save enough of them

to fill the farm poultry house, allow-

ing four square feet of floor space to

each bird. Overcrowding is a sure





methdd of reducing poultry profits. Af—e





ter culling the old hens and deciding

which are to be saved for breeding

stock, enough of the best pullets can

be marked to fill the house.

ket the remainder as soon as they

reach the broiler age. This will save

hatched birds have been'produced it

does not pay to save the late-hatched

stock and more annual income’ from

erels for home use it pays to allow sev-

eral extra birds to remain as some





maynot turn out as well as expected

and occasional accidents may injure

some birds. _

The custom of saving all 'of the pul-

lets causes poultry losses. Young pul-

lets are always in demand by breeders

who have not raised enough for'their

own use. Nothing is gained by keep-

ing too many pullets [for the housing

capacity when some of them can be

turned into cash while giving the re-





maining birds 3. chance to earn more





cash.

' The inventory tells the farmer just

what he has. for sale. On some farms

raising large flocks of poultry the own-

ers cannot guess within a hundred

birds of the number on the range. If

rats or weasels take birds'the fact

cannot be determined. If a poultry

'thief robs a colony house, the owner

is’not sure how many birds have been

lost and the necessary protection will

not be given to the flocks at night.

poultry raising when the - flocks are

culled early in the season. The birds

to be saved can be banded and then

the remainder can be sold as soon as

they reach a marketable age, either

for broiler meat or breeding stock. It

F nits—The present estimate is 13,-

quality is generally good except in the

northwestern counties, where scab is

unusually prevalent. The crop is no

abundant that the market has been

the whole of their crop through one

agency after the Californian plan

which has already beenadopted by the

LATE MATURlNG LIMA BEANS. .





"Can you tell me what to do with my"





Bmabeans? The vines are full of

green pods, but' very few are ripe, and

I am afraid they will not'get ripe be.

fore frost. Can I shell the green ones

and dry them so they will begood to

cook? If so, how long will it require

to dry them? ,Will a light frost spoil

them ?—Mrs. E. F. D.



If you much prefer to have thelima

beans in the dry form, -would advise

you to let them remain on the vines

as long as you can, or until a heavy

frost occurs, unless they show matu-

rity before the frost comes. If the pods

turn brown before frost it is well to

pick them off and shell the beans.

They should not be kept in a place

where there will be too many of them

together until they have thoroughly

cured.





If the beans do not mature before





frost occurs you will find it better to





can them than to attempt to dry them.

However, it is not necessary for the

pods to be thoroughly matured in ap-

pearance for the beans to be well

enough matured to keep well after

they are dried. With the lateness of

the' season, it would seem that you

should be able to get them sufficiently

matured so that you'can keep them

without canning. C. W. WAID.





LEG W EAKN ESS.





Why do my little chickens have leg

weakness and what is the cause? Is

there any way to prevent it?



Genesee Co. Mrs. C. H.



Legweakness of little chicks ls of-

ten caused by a lack of protein in the

ration. Too much starchyifeed seems

to develop the body without increasing

the strength of the bones. Mineral

matter and protein are obtained by

the chicks from drinking plenty of

sour milk and eating beef scrap and

ground bone in the ‘dry mash. If you

do not have time to mix up growing

mashes it might pay to buy a few huh-

dred pounds of the commercial mash-

es. They‘ contain a balanced ration

for the development of young chicks

and many poultrymen are having suc-

cess in using them.





Early hatched chicks often develop





. leg weakness from spending too much





time on the hard hrooder house floor.

It does not occur often if the young

chicks are from vigorous stock and fed

on a ration containing plenty of bone

building material. Our chicks have a.

free range and plenty of sour milk and

no cases of leg weakness have appear-

ed. We also give the chicks all the

ashes \from the brooder stoves and

they seem to crave the bits of ash and

mineral matter which they contain.

TRANSFERRING OF BEES.





Can you give me any information . " I _ ' The Dort Motor Car, made by the

regarding the transferring of bees from . . , . , , Dort Motor Car Company, Flint,

one hive to another?—Mrs. E. M. ' . . _ . Michigan, is equipped with Timken



Transferring of bees should be done ‘ ' “ ‘ " EggngdMBemgs atha‘dmce

.any time from the beginning of fruit

bloom to the end of the clover honey

flow. It is not advisable to attempt to

transfer bees during the late summer

or fall. There are several methods of

transferring, each of which I will very

_briefly describe. A



Direct Method.



By this method the combs are cut.

out from the box hive or gum and the

bees brushed from these combs into

'a modern hive which is placed in the



. exact location of the old hive. After

the bees have all been transferred a

. queen excluding zinc should be placed-

ever the entrance so,that the queen

;cannot get out. This ..precaution will

.often prevent colonies from leaving

the new hive. It is supposed that all

of the frames in the new hive are fit-

ted with full sheets of comb founda-

tion. It is sometimes advisable to fill

one of the frames with brood and hon-

ey taken from the old’hive. This will __

. provide food’for a day or ’so and will - Eff . _

'usually prevent the colonies from leav— - ._ .-.~ 1 . . .- ._.j': I .

ing. This comb should later be re- ' \ ' «K " ‘

moved. "If the colony whichis being ' TAPERED ROLLER

transferred has any disease, then none ‘ ‘ - ' ~ “ .

of the comb should be taken to the

new hive. Care must be used in this

methOd, to see' that; at no time after

the transferring the colony runs out

, of food.

A ROMANCE OF

By Peter’





THE VALLEY OF THF. GIANTS”





THE REDWOODS

B. Kym:





 





 





 





 





 





Buck insisted'on keeping an engage-

ment to dine with Moira, and Bryce

agreed to call for him at the Bon Gusto

restaurant. Then Bryce went home to

dine with his father. Old Cardigan was

happier than his son had seen him

since the return of the latter to Se

quoia.



“Well, sonny, I’ve had a mighty

pleasant afternoon,” he declared as

BryCe led him to the dinner-table. “I've

been up to the Valley of the Giants."



“Bryce was. amazed. "Why, how

could you?” he demanded. “The old

skid-road is impassable, and after you





leave the end of the skid-road, the trail.





in to mother’s grave is so overgrown

with buckthorn and wild lilac I doubt

if a rabbit could get through it com-

fortably.”



“Not a bit; of it,” the old man replied.

“Somebody has gone to work and

planked that old skid-road and put up

a hand-railing on each side, while the

trail through the Giants has been grub-

bed out and smoothed over. All that

old logging-cable I abandoned in those

choppings has been strung from tree

to tree alongside the path on both

sides. I can go up there alone now,

once George sets me on the old skid-

1'oad; I can’t get lost.”



“How did you discover this?" Bryce

demanded.



“Judge Moore, representing the new

owner, called round this morning and

took me in tow. .He said his client

knew the property held for me a cer-

tain sentimental value which wasn’t

transferred in the deed, and so the

Judge had been instructed to have the

skid-road planked and the forest trail

grubbed out—for me. It appears that

the Valley is going to be a public park,

after all, but for the present and while

I live, it is my private park.”



“This is perfectly amazing, partner.”



“It’s mighty comforting," his father

admitted. “Guess the new owner must

be one of my old friends—perhaps

somebody I did a favor for once—and

this is his way of repaying. Remember

the old sugar-pine windfall we used to

sit on? Well, it’s rotted through, and

bears have clawed it into chips in their

search for grubs, but the new owner

had a seat put in there for me—just

the kind of seat I like—a llumberjack's

rocking-chair made from an old vine

gar-barrel. I sat in it, and the Judge

left me, and I did a right smart, lot 0'

thinking. And while it didn’t lead me

anywhere, still I—er—”



“You felt better, didn't you ?” his son

suggested.



John Cardigan nodded. “I'd like to

know the name of the owner ” he said

presently. “I’d like mighty well to say

thank you to him. It isn’t usual for





people nowadays .to have as much re-

spect for sentiment in an old 'duffer‘

like mess the 'fellow has. He sort of

makes me feel as I hadn’t sold at all."



Buck Ogilvy came out of the Bon

Gusto restaurant with‘ Moira, just as

Bryce, with George Sea Otter at the

wheel of theNapier, drove upto the

curb. They left Moira at- her boarding

house, and rolled noiselessly away.



At nine o'clock they. arrived at Car-

digan”s log-landing, and found Jim

Harding, the bull-donkey engineer,

placidly smoking his pipe in the cab.

Bryce hailed him.



“That yOu, Jim?”



“You bet."



“Run up to Jabe Curtis‘s shanty, and

tell him we’ re here. Have him gather

his gang and bring two pairs of over~

alls and jumpers—large size—with

him when he comes. ”



Harding vanished into the darkness,

and Buck Ogilvy climbed up into the

cab and glanced at the steam-gauge.

“A hundred and forty,” he announced.

“Good enough!”



Presently the woods-boss, accompa-

nied by thirty of his best men, came

down to the log-landing. At Bryce’s

order they clambered aboard the env

gine and tender, hanging on the steps,

on the roof of the cab, on the cow-

catcher—anywhere they could find a

toeLhold. Harding cast aside the two

old ties which the careful engine~crew

had placed across the. tracks in front

of the drivers as additional.precau-

tion; Buck Ogilvy cut oif the air; and

the locomotive and tender began to

glide slowly down the almost imper-

ceptible grade. With a slight click it

cleared the switch and slid out onto

the Cardigan lateral, swiftly gathering

speed. A quarter of a mile down the

line Buck Ogilvy applied the brakes

and eased her down to twenty miles

per hour.





At the junction with the main line





'Buck backed briskly up into the La-





guna Grande woods, and coupled to

the two loaded flat-cars. The woods-

gang scrambled aboard the flats, and

the train pulled out for Sequoia. Forty

minutes later they rumbled down We.-

ter Street and slid to a grinding halt

at the intersection of B Street.

From the darkness of Cardigan’s dry-

ing-yard, where they had been waiting

twenty picked men of the mill-crew

now emerged, bearing lanterns and

tools. Under Buck Ogilvy’s direction

the dirt promptly began to fly, while

the woods- -crew unloaded the rails





and piled them close to the sidewalk.

Suddenly a voice, harsh and strident





with passion, rose above the thud of





the picks and the clang of metal.



“'Who 8 in charge here, and what in

blazes do you mean by cutting my

tracks?”



Bryce turned in time to behold Col-

onel Seth Pennington leap from an au-

tomobile and advance upon Buck Ogil-

vy; Ogilvy held a lantern up to the





Colonel’s face and surveyed Penning»





ton calmly. .

“Colonel, ” he began with exasperat-

ing politeness, “——I presume you are

Colonel Pennington—my name is Bu-

chanan -P. Ogilvy, and I am in charge

of these operations. .I am the vice-

president and general manager of the

N. C. 0., and I am engaged in the

blithe task of making a jump: -crossing

of your rails. I had hoped to accom.





plish this without your knowledge or





consent, but now that you are here





that hope, of course, has died a-born-.

perfecto under the Colonel’s nose.

Pennington struck it to the ground

rascals emptied their shovels over him

you please. “You’re in the way of the

shovellers,” Buck Ogilvy warned him

soothingly. '



‘ Bryce Cardigan came over, and at

sight of him Pennington choked with

fury. “You———-you—” he sputtered, un-

able to say more.



“I’m the N. C. 0.,” Bryce replied.

“Nice little fiction that of yours about

the switch-engine being laid up in tht

shops and the Laurel Creek bridge be-

ing unsafe for this big mogul.” He

looked Pennington over with frank ad

miration. “You’re certainly on the job,

Colonel. I'll say that much for you.

The man who plans to defeat you must

jump far and fast, or his tail will be

trod on."



“You’ve stolen my engine,” Penning-

ton almost screamed. “I’ll- have the

law on you for grand larceny.”



“Tut-tut! You don’t know who stole

your engine. For all you know, your

own engine-crew may have run it down





" here. " ,





“I’ ll attend to you, sir,” Pennington

replied, and he turned to enter Mayor

Poundstone’ 3 little flivver.



Not tonight, at least " Bryce retort-

ed gently. “Having gone this far, I

would be a poor general to permit you

to escape now with the news of your

discovery. You’d be down here in an

hour with a couple of hundred of your

mill-crew and give us the rush. You

will oblige me, Colonel Pennington, by

“remaining exactly where you are until

I give you permission to depa1t. ” ‘

“And if I refuse-" - .

“Then I shall manhandle you, truss





“ "you up like a fowl in the tonneau of





your car, and gag you. ”



To Bryce’s infinite surprise the Col- .

onel-smiled. “Oh, very well!" he re-

plied. “I guess you’ve got the bulge on

me, youngman. Do you mind if I sit in

the warm cab of my own engine? ‘I

came away in such a hurry I quite for-





got my overcoat."





“Not at all. I'll Sit up there and

keep you company "



Half an hour passed. An automobile

came slowly ’np Water street and pans.

ed half a block away, evidently recon-

noitering the situation. Instantly the

Colonel thrust his head out the cab

wi'ndow '



“Sexton!" he shouted. “Cardigan's

cutting in a crossing. He’s holding me

here against my will. Get the mill-crew

together and phone for Rondeau and

his woods-crew. Send the ,switch~en-

gine and a couple of flats up for them.

Phone Poundstone. Tell him to,have

the chief of police—”



Bryce Cardigan’s great hand closed

over the Colonel’s neck, while down “





'Water street a dark streak that-was

“Stand back, Colonel, stand back if.





Buck Ogilvy sped toward the automo-

bile, intending to climb in and make

Pennington' s manager a prisoner also.

He was too late, however. Sexton

swung his car and departed at full

speed down Water street, leaving the

disappointed .Buck to return panting‘to

the scene of operations.



Bryce Cardigan released his hold on

Pennington’s neck. “You win, Col-

onel, ” he announced. “No good can

come of holding you here any longer.

Into your car and on your way.”



“Thank you, young man,” the Col.

onel answered, and there’ was a metal-

lic ring in his voice. He looked at his

watch in the glare of a torch. “Plenty

of time,” he murmured. “Curfew shall

not ring tonight.” Quite deliberately

he climbed into the mayor’s late source ,

of woe and breezed away.



Colonel Pennington did not at once

return to his home, however. Instead,

he drove up to the business center of

the town. The streets were deserted,

but one saloon—the Sawdust Pile—_

was still open.



.Pennington strode through the bar

and into the back room, where a num-

ber of poker-games were in progress.

For a moment he stood, his cold, ophid-

ian glance circling .the roomruntil it





came to rest on no less a personage ‘

recalled Athat the Black Minorca led

the futilegrush against Bryce Cardigan

that day in Pennington’s woods.



- ’ The Colonel approached the table

where the Black Minorca sat thumbing





the edges of his cards. and touched the ,





cholo on the shoulder. The Black Min,-

orca turned, and Pennington nodded to

him to follow; whereupon the latter

cashed in his chips and joined his em-





ployer on the sidewalk. Here a whis- -





pered conversation ensued, and at its





conclusion the Black Minorca nodded.

“Sure!" he assured the Colonel.

fix ’em good and plenty.”



Together Pennington and the Black

Minorca entered the automobile and

proceeded swiftly to the Laguna

Grande Lumber Company’s mill-office.

From a locker the Colonel produced a

repeating rifle and three boxes of cart-

ridges, which he handed to the cholo,

who departed without further ado 11116

the night.





d‘I’ll





Twenty minutes later, from the top .





of a lumber-pile in Cardigan’s drying-





yard, Bryce Cardigan saw the flash of .

a rifle and felt a sudden sting on his ,

left forearm. He- leaped’ around in ,





front of the cowcatcher to gain the

shelter of the engine, and another bul~

let struck at his feet and ricocheted off

into the night:

fusillade, the bullets kicking up the

freshly disturbed earth among the

workers and sending them scurrying

to varoius points of safety. In an in-

stant the crossing was deserted, and

work had been stopped, while from the

top of the adjacent lumber-pile the





Black Minorca poured a stream of lead ,

and filthy invective at every point _





which he suspected of harboring a Car-

digan follower.



“I don’t think he’s hurt anybody,"

Buck Ogilvy whispered asxhe crouched

with Bryce beside the engine, “lint



, that’s due to his markmanship rather

than his intentions.”



“He tried hard enough to plug me,"

Bryce declared, and showed the hole

through 'his sleeve. “They call him

,the Black Mino1 ca and he’s a mongrel

greaser who’d kill his own mother for

a fiftydollar bill "



“I’d like to plug him,” Buck mur-

mured regretfully.



“What would be the use? This will

be his last night in Humboldt Coun-

ty-”,



A rifle shot rang out across the side

of B Street; from the lumber-pile

across the street, Bryce and Ogilvy

heard a suppressed grunt of pain, and

a crash as of a breaking board. In—

stantly out of the shadows George Sea

Otter came padding on velvet feet, rifle

in hand—and then Bryce understood.



“All right, boss,” said George simply

as he joined Bryce and Ogilvy under

the lee‘of the locomotive. “Now we

get busy again.”



“Safe-o, men,” Ogilvy called. l‘Back

to the job.” And while Bryce, followed





by the careless Geoge Sea Otter, went .





into the lumber~yard to'succor the en-

emy; pgilvy set an‘ example to the

men by stepping into the open and

starting briskly to Work with a shovel.



At the bottom of the pile of lumber

the Black Minorca was discovered with

a severe flesh-wound in'his right hip;

also he was suffering from numerbus

bruises and contusions. ' George Sea

Otter possessed (himself of the fallen

cholo’s rifle, while Bryce picked the



‘ wretch up and, carried him to his au‘

~tomobile.



“Take the swine over to the Laguna

Grande Lumber‘ Company’s hospital

and tell them to patch him up,” he or-



/ dared GeorgeSea Otter. ‘,‘I’ll keep both

rifles and the ammunition here for



~ g. Jules Bandeau and his woods- gang.

"Our W cot/y Semon—By N. A. Mc Cum





REES talk to us- of strength Did a season than a. tree will in a. hundred‘





you ever watch an oak or an elm



battling with a sterm? It is

worth watching As one blast or wind

followed .another, the tree was ready.

A branch might break, the top might

be carried away, but the body of the

tree stood firm. It had beén prepar-

ing for that battle,,for years. Far be

low, the roots, like military reserves,

were called for special duty. A thou-

sand, a million of them, spreading in

all directions, were holding the trunk

firmly in its place. That is a symbol





{of the strength of the man whose trust

is in God. The roots of faith and trust





go far into the bosom of God, “Though

an host should encamp against me, my

heart shall not fear.” “God is our ref-

uge and strength.” ,



Trees become strong by resistance.

A furniture manufacturer states that

the March winds make the best grain,

and the grain is déveloped when the

tree springs back, after a gust of wind.

People who are never called on to re-

sist, are under- developed in character.

A young man who was in France with

the American army, recently had’this

told of him, by his pastor. He was a

sergeant, and his captain was an im-

moral man, openly and brazenly. The

sergeant re‘buked him for the example

No non-com-

misisoned man is supposed to répri-

mand an oflicer, and it went hard with

the sergeant. He was reduced to the

ranks, and life was made miserable

for him. He bore it in grim silence.

One day his captain sent for him. Said





he: “I’ve been thinking about this and

the way I’ve treated you. I’m_ going

' \to‘ live straight after this. Tomorrow





you take your old place, as first line

sergeant.”





REES grow. It is' an impressive



moment when a tree is felled, and

you count the rings. The record of

each year’s growth is there. No year

has been left out.‘ There have been

no “off years,” and no idle ones. Look-

ing back can we say that each year

has added to our growth? Or have we

stood stationary? There are people,

not a few of them, who have not grown

a particle for twenty years in anything

except age, and they will deny even

that. They have the same notions

they had years ago. They have not

broadened, greatened in any“particu-

lar. Such persons‘may well go to the

nearest oak and learn one of the great

lessons of life.





. TREE grows because it remains in

one place. A squash vine wanders

aimlessly over the ground, but the oak,

the elm, the white pine attain height.

A tumbleweed will travel farther in





s





{not prepare for the inevitable.





years. The tree devotes its energies

to traveling upward. It specializes in

altitude. And trees for that reason

are the symbol of aspiration. They

get the far look. They typify large

and high ideals. As Joyce Kilmer said.

“A tree thathoks at God- all day, and

lifts its leafly arms to pray.” An emi-





nent writer says that this generation





of Americans is prone to 'wander in

the direction where the greatest ex.

citement lies. We are not given to

steady, upward development which

creates the finest manhood. The trees

in our front yard will teach us better.





HE tree is a parable of life. In



spring it puts forth new life. In

summer it bears its burden of fruit, or

spreads its shade for the.tired travel-

er. In autumn, it ceases toil, drops its

leaves and prepares for rest. There is

no haste, no hurry, and there are no

regrets. Everything is done at the

proper season. And there‘are the sea-

SOns of the soul. Neglect them, and

the loss can never be fully replaced.

There is the season of childhood, when

religious impressions ‘ remain, are

planted in the soul. Then comes the

age of adolescence, when most of life's

great choices are made. And adult-

hood follows fast, with its burdens and

its toll. Trees exhibit forethought, fre-

quently to a far greater degree than

their human neighbors. When autumn

comes, they prepare for winter. Firs

are warmly clad, while deciduous trees

drop their leaves, so that with naked

branches they may, ~ like athletes,

wrestle with the winds and blasts of

February and March. The sap recedes

to‘ a. large extent, into the’ inner parts

of the trunk and the root system. Thus

fore him, makes no preparation to that .





end. The dumb, immovable, unfeeling

tlee in yonder field exhibits more in-

telligence than he. '



Trees speak to us of eternity. They

are solemn. They have their own lan-

guage, in which they seem to converse

of the mighty matters of life, death,

and immortality. The oak roars, elms

and maples speak out plainly, while,

the tall white pines whisper to each

other in a tongue that has no oaths,

and centains no unclean ‘thoughts.

They are like a race of clean men,.

whom sin has not marred. "The rights

eous shall flourish like a palm tree,”

says the Psalmist.

He stood at the telephone, the re—

ceiver still held to his ear and his

right forefinger holding down the hook

while the line cleared. When he spoke

again, Shirley knew he was calling his

mill—office. He got a response immedi-

ately, notwithstanding the lateness of

the hour. '



“Sexton? Pennington speaking. I’ve

millions to me if we fail-”



'Shirley was standing in the doorway

as he faced about from the telephone.

“Uncle Seth,” she said quietly,-“use

any honorable method of defeating

Bryce Cardigan, but call off the Black

.Minorca. I shall hold you personally

responsible for Bryce-Cardigan's life,

and if you fail me, I shall never for-

give you."



“Silly, silly girl!” he soothed her.

“Don’t you know I would not stoop to

bush-whacking? There’s some shoot-

ing going on, but it’s wild shooting,

just to frighten Cardigan and his men

off the job‘.” - ,



“You can’t frighten him," she cried

passionately. “You know you (can’t.

ODERN efficiency sharks are tell-

ing us that we use only ten per

cent or our brains. If we would

but exercise the dormant ninety per

centrthere is no height too high for

us to scale, no depth too deep for us

to plumb, according to men who go

about making a living telling the rest

of us how to succeed. We have eyes

to see, but we see not, ears to bear

but we hear not, is the crushing in-

dictment hurled at us, and therein lies

ourfailure to forge ahead.

Everyone who has ever taught school

or had any experience with humanity





_ in the mass, knows that the last state-





ment is true. Announce a lesson to a

class, and five minutes after the chil-

dren return to their seats nine out of

ten hands will be wildly waving and

Johnnie and Mary will be asking what

tomorrow’s lesson is to be. Probably

half of the class will insist that you

didn’t give out any. Make a statement

before the whole rodm full of children

today, and tomorrow not more than

one can give a correct version of what

you said. Half may be able to give a

more or less garbled account, and the

other half will swear they never heard

anything about it. ,

Growniips are no better. Who can

tell on Monday more than an occasion-

al remark the preacher made on Sun-

day? Even the announcements are

mixed. Was the social to be on Tues-

day or on Thursday night? You don't

know because you didn’t hear. And

you didn’t hear—not because you are

deaf—but because only one tiny brain

cell was concerned with listening, and

the'rest absorbed in something else.

We don’t concentrate on the thing

in hand“ That is the real reason for





Seeing and Hearing





most failures. Instead of doing the

thing of the moment and doing it right





we let our attention wander to the next ‘





job to be done or the next pleasure to

be enjoyed.



Without a doubt, concentrating on

your own particular job brings you to

success. Using your eyes to the extent

of their power, seeing, too, what makes

your neighbor forge. ahead while you

stay in a .rut, this is one big factor in

success. You can use your ears, too,

to listen to everything which bears on

your job. Listen to suggestions and to

criticisms, whether they are made in

kindness or not. .One big help to fail-

ure is to shut our ears to criticism.

None of us really enjoy having our

faults pointed out, but if we really

want to grow, there is one of the best

aids known to man. It hurts, of course,

sometimes, but only the foolish refuse

to profit by it.



Listening is a habit which mothers

should try to inculcate in children.

How much nervous energy we waste

telling them the same thing over and

over again. I- wonder if their lack of

attention is not largely due to our

own? Do we stop what we are doing

and insist oh their attention when we

give a command or make a request?

Or do we shout it over our shoulder as

we hurry by them, intent on our job,

while they are equally as intent on

their own? I wonder if we took the

time directly after breakfast to have

the orders of the day given out to boys

and girls who were required to sit still

and listen, if we could get through a.

day with just once telling? It would

be worth trying a few times at least.

DID YOU?





 





BY MIGNON M. QUAM.





Did you ever eat a school lunch that

' V was cold

And lay on your stomach like a load

of lead? .

Did you ever try to study after that

And find there’s nothing working in

your head?

Did you ever watch your father heat

the food .

The pigs, and cows, and chicken

had to eat?

Did you ever stop to ask the reason

why? .

Did he answer, “Boy, they gotto have.

some heat?" ' ,

Did you ever get to thinking kids

might have

' A need of something warm, like pigs

and cows? ' ' -

You didn’t? Well, we youngsters have,





you et.

And we can tell you grownups all

just how

To keep us well and help to learn

and do

Our work at school with vim and

strength and punch.

Give us a stove, some dishes, grocer-

ies, too,





And let us have at noon a hot ‘

HAT is what I want to live long



I enough to see, a Aneisr society for

boys, with a branch or alfili’atéd

organization for the girls, to'include

every young person of the farm whose

heart is-good and clean and devoted

to service for everybody. What would

you think of the name for this band of

young folks which I haVe given to this





a good ring, has it not? 'But 'it is just

what one would expect of the boys and

girls who gave their names in to be

members of the new organization, that

they should, be really knights, battling

for the right and the best there is in

life. And I know they would live up

to the name. ‘



But whether there ever should be

an organization of that kind or not,

with its charter and -by-laws and all

that‘ scrt of para-

phernalia, we can

surely join that ~

splendid body of

young folks in spirit,

adopting our own

code and living up to

it with all the

strength of heart,

mind and body that

has been given us.

It means so much to have ideals that

lead us to act, think and work every

day toward the highest forms of citi-

zenship. For that is What all farm

boys and girls ought to be aiming at.

As the days go by we are steadily.

coming to the time when we will take

our places as members of this great

republic, citizens of 'the best nation in

the'world, with all its interests devolv-

ing upon us ;' and we want to be ready

for the responsibilities when they

come: so the time to begin preparing

is today.



What is this thing we call for lack

of a better w01d knighthood? I think

now of a. little thing that happened to

a couple of boys. They were out in

the woods one day. One of the lads

climbed a tree that had come to grow

aWay down out of the perpendicular,

slanting at the top toward the earth.

While he was there among the upper

branches, the other boy quickly seized

his axe and cut the free down. It was

a dangerous thing to do, for, of course,

when the tree fell, the boy came to

the ground with it. He might have

been seriously injured, althOugh it so

happened that he was not. The boy

who did the chopping thought it a

great piece of sport and laughed till

he could scarcely stand.



You would not call that a very

knightly thing to do, would you? Far

rather would you have preferred to

have been in the place of‘the boy who

was treated that way, for he just smil-

ed, though for a. moment his face was.

pale, as he said: “I didn’tthink you

would do a thipg like that, Sam!” You

see, he had lost confidence in his chum

and it would not be strange if he never

recovered it afterward. For the boy

who does a mean trick runs the risk

of never getting back the confidence of

the friend of former days. v



Would you not like to have been the

girl who, when one of her friends Was

being sneered at because she was

wearing clothes 'that were faded and

patched, bravely stood up for her, and

with flaming cheeks said to the young

tormentors, “You shall not abuse Mary!

She is the best girl I ever knew, and

I’ll fight for her if I have to." There

is the knighthood for you. You can’t

she was in trouble.



I know a teacher

in one of: our city'

schools who 'c am e

from the country.

She had taken a.

course in a State nor-

mal school and secured her place in

the high school on her merits as a.

teacher. She found some of the city

boysand girls who were inclined to

make fun _of those who came from the

country, but she never failed to come

to the defense of those misunderstood

young people, declaring that they were

the equal of city boys and girls and

that she would not stand by and hear

them judged wrongfully or ridiculed.

Soon her pupils learned that she meant

just what she said and stopped their

unmannerly sport. All honor to this

young farmer girl teacher of the

knightly heart! How her young pupils

from the farm must have loved her!



And then, it is the part of a farm

knight to be ready to do anybody a

good turn. Somebody you know may

be in trouble before night. Will it‘be,

you who will help that One in his time

of need? Then, too, our knights of

the farm cannot fail to be sincere. and

kind to father and mother, as well as

to all other fathers and mothers. “Lift

11 hand to help and keep a. cheery

heart,” will be a fine watchword for

our boy and girl knights.

rare treat during the week of the In-

show is unquestionably the greatest

show of Belgian horses that has ever

taken place outside the borders of Bel-

gium, the original home of the breed.

The show this year brought out a num-

who had never tried showing at a show

- of prices for the prune crop than about.

, ready to so to: market.

cost of production in mind, but it has

g: yery little to do with setting the price,"

. says Manager prkendall.

i wgetner all the information We can in

.regard to the size of the prune crop,





(Continued from page 473).





“We get to:





the probable demand as determined by





, advanCe orders and other things, con-





dition of the foreign market, probable

competition from other countries, gen-

eral business conditions, and then'pro-

seed to agree on a price that makes a

living for the grower, and I will leave

it to anybody if it is not business like

and fair to all parties concerned. ”





It is well to note also, that while the

prune groWers have been investigated,

their operations have always been .ap—

proved by the government authorities.





Selling the Prunes. ,



The duty at selling the prunes be-

longs to Mrs. R. G. Wallace, who holds

a. business position probably as import-

ant as that held by any woman in

America. Last year she superVised the

sale of over $25,000,000 worth of

prunes, and total sales will probably

exceed $30,000,000 this year. Half or

more of the prunes are sold by the

time prices are fixed. They are sold

at the “firm-at-opening price," which

means that the contracts are good at

whatever' price the association sets.



“The i speculators have ‘ always ob-

jected to us setting the price as late

as August,” Coykendall told me. “They

want us to' set it six or eight months

earlier so they can play with the 0101)

a. bit, too. We would be speCulators,

too, if we fixed the price eaily when

we wouldn’ t know any more about the

size of the crop than a farmer knows

about his corn crop when he plants it.

We have always stood firm on that

principle and will continue to do so.”





Swatting the Speculators.

Buying the crop from producers and





selling it later is only one way of spec-9





ulating in farm products. Another is

buying it when it should be moving in

various markets. They don’t monkey

with prunes any more, however, be-

cause the California Prune and Apri-

cot Growers,’ Inc., knows just how

many prunes every wholesale dealer

in the United 'States caniegitimately

handle.





When he buys more than that

amount, it is evident that he is specu-

lating. Bing! his supply is shut off,

and as he can’t get enough prunes any-

where else to speculate with, he is

compelled to be good. There are a.

number of chronic speculators, how-

ever, to which the prune and apricot

growers refuse to sell any- product,

and moreover, they refuse to sell any-

thing to any other company, which re-

sells to these speculative cOmpanies.



“We are following up this plan to

kill speculation as" far as prunes and

apricots are concerned,” said Mrs.

Wallace. “We are against specula-

tion in prunes and apricots because it





increases prices to consumers and

thereby reduces consumption. We are

all the time working to increase con-

sumption,

therefore our enemies.”





and the speculators are





Financing the Warehouses.

and. apricot association-warehouses and

Yprocessing plants, is ownedby a sub-

sidiary company called the (:‘r‘ro'wors’:~

tion), pays the other company a can

tired in two or three years, except a.“





 





few shares necessary to retain the:





corpor‘atibn form of the company.'~





These, of course. will be held by the.

marketing company. \





The reason why two companies Were -





formed originally is that a company

cannotvgive itself a warehouse receipt.





The receipts were necessary to bop-w





row money, to pay advances to the

growers for their crops, so the double

companyplan was devised.“ This same





plan is often used by commercial bus; .





iness concerns.

Better Quality of Product.



A separate story might well be writ-

ten about the improvement in quality

of product that has been brought about

by the Prune Growers’ Association.





Prunes are all graded according to _





one standard, which is now known this

werld over. In fact, the other hand—

lers of prunes are even compelled to

guarantee their prunes to equal the

quality of those handled bythe asso—

ciation. In 1918 when a rain fell in

the picking season, the association

worked out methods of saving damag~





-ed prunes, and saved several million





dollars for growers by the processes

developed.





The, same story could be told about

every important cooperative market-

ing association in California. “More

has been done by cooperative associat-

tions to improve the quality of prod-

uct than by every other agency com-

bined, and then some,” says W. H.‘

Heileman, secretary of the California.

Farm Bureau Federation.





The Problem of “Over-production."





The prune and apricot growers, like 9





the citrus and raisin growers, have

found that their chief problem is a.

constantly increasing production, in-

duced by the prosperous condition of

the industry. They are careful to point

out that there is no over-production as

yet, because the supply of prunes is

still consumed year after year, though

constantly growing larger. The job

ahead of the association may be guess-

ed from the fact|that there are now

eighty-five thousand acres of prunes in

bearing in California, and sixty-five

thousand acres more planted. The apo

ricot acreage is increasing in the same

proportion.





The association is spending about

$300,000 per year in advertising the

prunes and apricots in order to help

sell the larger crops. “Our advertis-

ing campaigns have been tremendous

successes,” says Coykendall. “They

have kept the demand of prunes con-





,stantly on» the increase”,





The strength of the association can

be judged from its experience in 1919,

when foreign exchange went to smash.

Formerly half of the prunes produced

The exchange situa-

tion cut 01! the foreign demand, so the

association proceeded to sell the whole

California Crop in America, and the

Oregon and Washington prunes were

also Sold in this country. Consumers

Were simply induced to eat two prunes,

where they had eaten one before.





The "triumph of the California prune -





and apricot growers represents the

highwat‘er mark in the successor pro-

ducers’ cooperation 'in America. It is

well worth study by any other group

of _farmers who hope to embark in ex—

tenSive plans of cooperative marketing-

of their produCts.

A special attraction at this sale will be four boars and two gilts from

Miss Columbia. These pigs are 00mlng along in nice condition. High backs,

good length, deep ‘and' wide, str’ong_ eet, big bone, smooth coats, neat heads

and wide open eyes. This very mating Yankee-Lon‘g Boy, were the biggest

winners at the 1919 Iowa State Fair. . . .



A real attraction will be one boar and four gilts from Gertsdale Jessie,

sired by the Clansman, the famous $50,000 Poland China sire. This is the

mating that did so much to make my 191! sale a success. This year’s pigs

are even better. They will be nearly four months old at sale time.





Another attraction is an exceptionally good yearling sow by the Yankee,

the $40,000 sire of good ones, and out of a Big Fred dam. These blood lines

are right up to the minute, and prodUce pigs with quality.



One more attraction is the two Quality sows, Miss Bob Wonder and her

litter mate. Miss Bob Wonder is out of Gertsdale Jessie, the dam of the

Clansman litter, and won first in her class of 13 at the 1920 Michigan State

Fair, also first at Bay City and again at Grand Rapids. Her litter mate is

an even better sow. . '





Some more attractions will be one litter by Lord Clansman from one of





I the classiest yearling sows, in Michigan, carrying the blood of Gerstdale'





Jones and Giant Ben. A litter by L’s Big Orange and from the litter mate

to Miss Bob Wonder is exceptional. Likewise Miss 'Bob Wonder’s litter by

Livingston’s New Prospect boar are desirable. - ,

$3.15. HEAT



The fact that the corn crop was to

be the largest on record was recognIz-

ed some time ago, so that. the showmg





of the government October returns was $6





not surprising. The reduction in wheat,

however, was much more than the

trade believed. the spring wheat yield

being cut 19,000,000 bushels during the

month to 219.000.000 bushels or only

10.000.000 bushels more than last year.

The aggregate of the spring and win-

ter kinds is 751,000,000‘bushels which,





with a carry—over of 150,000,000 makes





a total supply b: 901,000,000 bushels

available for export and domestic con-

sumption. After allowing for the same.

consumption. feed, seed, etc. as in

1919 there is about 250,000.000 bushels

available for export, of which there

has been 100.000.000 bushels actually

shipped so far, and an equal quantity

sold abroad and will be shipped be-

tween now and February 1. 0n the

statistical showing there is only around

50.000.000 bushels more than can be

spared if we are to carry over a nor-

mal amount into the 1921 crop. The

statistical situation favors higher pric-

es for wheat later on, and if financial

conditions in this country and abroad

will permit prices will go higher. In-

dia has received some rain, but needs

more. Small exports are noted from

that country and Russia. Argentine

has received ample moisture and crop

reports from that country are much

more favorable.





CORN



A corn crop of 3,216,000,000 bushels,

the largest on record, was suggested

by the government October 1 crop re-

port, showing 85,000,000 bushels in ex-

cess of the September returns and

nearly 300,000,000 bushels in excess

of last year’s harvest.

with the fivesyear average there is an

increase of 456,000,000 bushels. Prac-

tically all of the leading states have

the prospect of’a larger crop than a

month ago, Illinois gaining 19,000,000

bushels and has 307,000,000 bushels,

or 6,000,000 bushels more than last

year. while Iowa has 427,000,000 bush-

els, the second largest yield on record,

and compares with 416,000,000 bushels

harvested last year. The seven sur-

plus states have a total of 1,707,000,000

bushels, or 64,000,000 bushels in ex-

cess ofSeptember and compared with

1,464,000,000 bushels harvested last

year. In 1912 the totalfor the country

was 3,125,000,000 bushels, of which the

seven states had 1,833,000,000 bushels

so that, while the total for the country

in 1920 is 91,000,000 bushels more than

in 1912 the so—called surplus states

have 126,000 000 bushels less than in

that year. Prices continue to decline.

flax seed crop aggregates 11,700,000

against 8,900,000 bushels last year, and

white potatoes 415,000,000 bushels as

against 358,000,000 bushels last year.





SEEDS





Seed prices declined still further the

past week, reaching the lowest point

of the season. Prices have reached a

level at which much light yielding

acreage will beabsndoned because it

will not pay for hauling. Receipts are





falling off.

FEEDS -





Views of extremely bearish operat-





 





ors who several months ago predicted





that. bran would go to $30 in milling

centers were Verified when sales were

made last week at $28 at Kansas City

and $29 at Minneapolis. The uncer—

tain feeding outlook, the crisis in cer-

tain dairy districts, the abundance of

feed grains and good fall pastures

along with open weather, have cut the

demand to unusually small volume. All

feeds are lower, middlings declining

more rapidly than bran. Mills are be-

coming more unwilling. to sell, but

some further decline may take place

before winter demand .revives. Latest

quotations per ton (100-lb bags) in car

lots at. Chicago are: Bran $45; stand-

ard middlings $53; flour middlings at

$62; cottonseed meal 41 per cent, $58;

cottonseed meal 36 per cent, $55; glu-

ten feed $50; hominy feed $58; old

process oil meal $66; tankage $107.

fall demand, but producers may decide





to hold rather than "sell-for little or-





nothing, and cold weather is certain to

prove a slight stimulus to buying.

- BEANS





Although the bean crop prospect has

been improving during the last month

according to the g0vernment’s esti-





mate as’ of October 1, which was 9,364,»





000 bushels. it is far below the average

yield of 14,600,000 bushels during the

preceding six years. current prices are

below cost of production and produc-

ers are declining to sell, which is mak-

ing the market more steady. Latest

quotations upon choice Michigan beans

run $5 f. o. b. Micmgan or $5.50 f. o. b.

Chicago.





EGGS AND POULTRY





Receipts of eggs at leading markets

fell off during the past week and are

running considerably below those of

last year. Prices advanced on the best

grades at most points. Receipts of

dressed poultry at four leading cities

since January 1, 1920, are 108,674,742

lbs, compared with 134,016,641 lbs 9.

BUTTER ' .





Butter markets have‘been badly‘uD‘ .f . 7





set the past week. The advance of

last week continued on extras during

the early trading. Later a. weak tone





came over the market and ‘ bearish , ‘_

sentiment has grown very strong.’





Without much prospect of export trade

in sight and importations continuing

to come into the country, it is natural





that the market on butter should turn





weak. The closing price on score but-

ter were 600 at New York and 610 on

each of the other markets, showing a

not decline for the week in~each case

except Chicago. Therrange between





92 and 86 score price was at one time '





from 18c to 160 on each of the mar-





kots.

WOOL





American wool markets report only

minor sales during the week and these

at somewhat lower prices.

goods markets are unsettled, the re-

cent marking down of prices has not





stimulated buying as yet and many,





mills remain i la, The Australian auc-

tion. sales w lch.opened during the

week and which the trade has looked

to as a means of establishing what

wools are really worth gave little en-

couragement. While there was a good

demand for Superior wools. the infor-

ior sorts were not wanted. The prices

established would make wools landed

in this country about 20 to 25 per

cent cheaper than values recently,

quoted on domestic wools. .





. POTATOES





The movement of potatoes suddenly

increased about 80 per cent to around

1100 cars per day and caused weak-

ness in' the potato 'markets at last

week's close. There are signs of a

still higher rate of shipments which

points to a lower market. Maine grow-

ers are said to be holding for higher?

prices. .



Chicago—Northern Whites $1.90@2

per. cwt; Early Ohios $1.90@2.

§Cleveland.———Michigan Round Whites

$4 per 150-lb sack; New Jersey Giants

$3.25 per 150-lb sack.



Detroit—Michigan $3.25@3.50 pen





150-11; sack.

APPLES





There has been a slight improve-

ment in the tone of the apple m‘arkets,

but values have not been materially

altered. The export movement is large;





hens 26@27c; roosters 20@22c; geese ’





Woolen ’





but total shipments to markets have,





increased to over 1,000 cars a. day. The

government’s estimate for October 1

showed slight increases in the yields,

both of total and commercial crops

over the promise of a. month ago. ,





DETROIT CITY MARKET





Light offerings and slow trading

characterized the city markets. The

potato supply is lower and growers

generally were holding for $1.40@1.‘50

per bushel, but occasional lots moved

at $1.30; $2.50 was the best price on

fancy apples, and $1.50@2 was the

range on firsts. A very light supply of

grapes was offered and the demand'

was slow at $3623.50 a. bushel. There

was a. good demand for best grade to-

matoes which brought as high as $4

per bushel. ,

‘I that ,,;he~- farm bureau members.“ coop-

, ~-‘oi the representatives that the. tandem

propriation Hem congress, while oth-

is: advised this‘ plan because it would





. give the members information which





they‘hlone could use. Mr. Callander

replied that the information would on-

lrbe'valuable when distributed to all





vfiembors which would, make it impos-

‘ sible to keep it under cover. '





E. 7W. Ba’ker,"-~of Chicago, represent-

ingthernited‘ States Bureau of Mar-





, kets, told of the work of that organi-





sationi’n reporting the five leading live

stock markets... The daily estimates of

receipts are computed by the bureau

so that they are ofl'icial and unbiased,





‘ telegraphic reports are exchanged be-





tween, the market‘s during each day

and brief. repo‘rts upon market changes

as wellas quotations are furnished to

the telegraphic companies and news

bureaus through which they reach nu-

merous daily papers and private indi-

viduals. The offices of the bureau at

each market also send free to persons





vreguesting it a daily letter which dis-

. cusses market conditions, gives detail-





ed quotations, receipts, shipments and

also conditions in the dressed meat

trade.‘



Knute Espe, of Ames, Iowa, presi-

dent of the National Cooperative Live

Stock Shippers' Association urged the

formation of more local shipping asso-





yciations. He mentioned the need for





uniform methods of accounting by com-

mission companies, advocated that

each‘ local association provide its own

insurance instead of using the more





, expensive commercial form, and that





payments for losses should not be

made in full so that growers would be

more careful not to overheat. or de-

liver animals otherwise out of condi-

tion for shipment. He favors the for-

mation of cooperative commission com-





panies.



C. H. Watts, manager of the Farm-

ers’ Union Cooperative Commission

Companies at Omaha, Kansas City,

Sioux City, St. Joseph and Denver told

of the success of that work. The old-





est ,flrm is located at Omaha, and start- ~





ed there three years ago. The first

year thirty-eight per cent of the com-

missions were rebated, the second year





.forty-six per cent, the third year fifty





per cent, and the company was saving

at the rate of sixty-five per cent of the

coufimission before the recent commis-

sion rate increases were put into ef-

fect. It is now the largest firm at

Omaha. At first only seven per cent

of the business of the members of the

Farmers' Union who shipped to Ornaha

came to it, but now it handles fifty-

five to sixty per cent of the members’

business. They have developed out-

side. connection so that they are able

always to make a clearance without

depending upon the speculators.



H. M. Osborne, of the Equity Live

Stock Commission Companies at St.

Paul and Chicago, told how his organ-

ization had developed an. outlet direct

to farmers for the stockers and feed-

ers produced in St. Paul territory, thus

cutting out two commissions, the spec-

ulator’s profit and the excessive fill





, between the northwestern seller and

,the corn belt buyer. ‘
