Team. munities the m o r e
W ork 7” progressive farmers
Selling have organized coop.

erative elevators to
serve their respective communities in
the matter of marketing their prod-
ucts, and in the purchase of coal and
other bulk farm supplies. These co-
operative elevators are purely service
organizations, not corporations organ-
ized primarily for the profit of the
stockholder members. Their earnings,
after the payment of a nominal rate of
interest to the members on their ac-
tual investment, are distributed to
their patrons on the basis of their pat-
ronage.

Naturally the business organizations
with which they must, in many cases,
compete are anxious to maintain their
business and discredit the new type of
sales organization and will willingly
sacrifice present profits to that end.
This is a phase of the situation which
should not be overlooked by any farm~
or who is offered the lure of a seem-
ingly more favorable deal by the pri-
vately owned, or even the so—called c0-
operative elevator which is not organ-
ized on the above mentioned service
basis.

The cooperative elevator, organized
on a service basis and hooked up with
the elevator exchange under the aus-
pices of the Michigan State Farm 1311-
reau, is in the best possible position
to market its members’ products to the
best advantage. All that is needed to
make this economic method of moving
our farm products marketward, a com-
plete and permanent success is team
work on the part of the farmer mem-
bers of the local service organizations.
This team work should be applied not
only to making the local organization
a success, but should be exerted to ef-
fect a tie-up of the local organization
with the state elevator exchange, to
the end that the farmers’ own selling
organization may be made as complete
and efficient as possible at the earliest
possible date.

Private operators have in the past
been prone to express the opinion that
farmers’ cooperative selling organiza-
tions would not be a success, for the
reason that the farmer members would
not stick by them under adverse mar-
ket conditions. The fallacy of their
reasoning has been proven in the his-
tory of many cooperative selling en-
terprises in other states and in Michi-
gan, notably the Michigan Potato Ex-
change, the fruit exchanges of western
Michigan, and the live stock shipping
ongnni tions scattered all through the
state. ' he warmer members have

stuck together to make several hun-
dred cooperative selling organizations
built on the service plan an unques-
tioned success in our state, and we be-
lieve they will provide the team work
to make this the universal plan of
marketing farm products.

Conducted on a sound merchandis
ing basis, this is unquestionably the
most economic plan of assembling our
farm products and moving them mar-
ketward. This fact has been demon-
strated in many communities where
good market facilities have been pro-
vided and a substantial volume of bus-
iness maintained at points where pri-
vate enterprise has failed to provide
adequate market service, as well as by
the success of cooperative selling on
ganizations at points where competi‘
tion with private enterprise is keen.

Let us have the team work needed
to develop this plan of marketing to
the optimum of business economy. The
farmers of Michigan have the initia—
tive ability and leadership to accom<

plish this desirable result. Good team
work will make its accomplishment
certain.
T the annual meet~
. ing of the Michi—
Farm Use gan' Milk Producers’
Of Dan'y Association held at M.
Products A. C. last week, a re-

port of which will be
found on page 15 of this issue, Judge
Munn, president of the National Dairy
Council, gave some facts and figures
relating to the use of milk as a food,
which all the farmers as well as the
dairymen of the state would do well
to consider. In discussing “The Cause
and Remedy of the Present Depression
in the Dairy Industry," President
Munn strongly asserted that this de-
pression is not due to over-production,
but rather to under-consumption of
dairy-products. A point of greater in—
terest to dairymen and farmers was
his equally strong declaration that this

under-consumption is much greater on

the farms of the country than in the
cities and towns. In ' one corn belt
county where a survey was made it
was found that of four hundred chil-
dren on farms, fifteen to twenty-seven
per cent were under normal in physi-
cal or mental development because of
a lack of milk in their diet. In anoth-
er survey it was shown that sixty-nine
per cent of the children in the towns
in the territory surveyed drank milk
regularly as compared with eleven per
cent of the children on the farms. The
speaker then presented figures to show
that even a small increase in the use
of milk and milk products on the
farms of the country would not only
absorb the surplus but much more, and
presented a powerful argument for the
increased farm consumption of this
best and cheapest of all foods, which
modern scientific experiments have
shown to be absolutely essential to
normal human growth and mental de‘
velopment.

Judge Munn’s conclusions were
sound. More milk and milk products
should be used in every farm family.
First, because it will supply a demon-
strated physical need of every member
of the family which no substitute food
can do. And incidentally because this
is a case in which the old proverb
about the cake does not apply, since
an increased farm consumption of
dairy products which will relieve the
market of the present surplus will put
the business on a more profitable basis.

FARM BUREAU STATEMENT ON
LABOR PROPOSAL.

 

 

AMONG the constitutional amend-
ments to be submitted to the v0t~
ers of the state next month is one
dealing with the fixing of working
hours and conditions for the people of
the state by the legislature. Concern-
ing it, the following statement has

Elevator Exchange Opens

HE elevator exchange depart
ment of the Michigan State
Farm Bureau, in the process of
development since last April, began

business October 20 with twenty-three

elevators using it as selling agent for
grain and beans.

The membership of these elevators
has paid a $200 membership fee, giv-
en its negotiable promissory note for
$500 and signed a contract with the
exchange that appoints the “Elevator

 

Thomas B. Buell, Manager.

Exchange its agent for marketing all
grain and beans.’ All but eight asso-
ciations have signed up to sell hay
through the exchange.

These twenty-three elevators are‘the
nucleus for what the State 'Farm Bu-
reau and the Extension Department of

the Michigan Agricultural College be?

lieve will become an exchange organ-
ization of between one hundred and

two hundred elevators handling the
major part of the grain business of
the state. When the national “Com-
mittee of Seventeen" has formed a
plan for the cooperative organization
of the grain business of the country,
Michigan farmers will be ready to take
their place and do their part towards
the success of that plan.

The business of the exchange is di-

rected by a board of control which is,

elected by the membership of the ele—
vators, each association getting one
vote. The exchange, like all other de-
partments of the State Farm Bureau,
is under supervision of the executive
committee of the farm bureau. Any
elevator in the exchange may with-
draw at any time between the first
day of June and the first day of the
following July. Each local elevator or
association is responsible for its pro-
rata share of the contracts, debts, and
engagements of the exchange.

What the business of this exchange
may develop into in this, and succeed-
ing years, can only be surmised. What
they have done in the past has been
collected from most of the associations
and is represented in the following
figures:

The business of eighteen of these e1—
evators last year amounted to four
hundred and "fifty-six carloads of wheat,
one hundred and seventy carloads of
oats, two hundred and twenty-five car~
loads of rye, one hundred and sixteen
carloads of beans, and one hundred
and seventy carloads of hay.

The total value of the property of
these eighteen elevators is $484,000,
making an average of $26,666 apiece.

The business in dollars and cents
has been obtained for only twelve of
them. These twelve did $5,367,000

been issued by the Michigan State U

Farm Bureau:

' 0n the ballot which will be submit-
ted to the electorate of the state. at
the November general election is a
proposal for an amendment to the con-
stitution of the state, which, if carried,
would give the state legislature au-
thority to limit a man’s ambition and
inclination to work for his advance.

.ment, even though he may in no way -

be t1 ansgressing on the civic rights of
his fellows.

This amendment' provides for em-
powering the legislature “to enact laws
relative to the hours and conditions
under which men, women and children
may be employed.” The amendment
is the insertion of the werd “men" in
this clause which is standing in Sec-
tion 29, of. Article 5, of the governing
code of the state.

On its face, it appears serenely inno-
cent enough, but'it should be carefully
considered by every farmer in the
state, before he votes on it.

There are radical elements in Mich-
igan who would like to see in effect an
arbitrary law prohibiting men from
working longer than an eight-hour day.
There are others who declare six hours
should be the limit.

There is none of the ninety thou-
sand farm bureau members in Michi-
gan who has come to attention who
could do his daily work in eight hours
or who could afford to hire men to
work his farm if at the end of six or
eight hours they were to wash up and
quit. Farming, which supplies the
bread and butter for every table, can’t
be done in eight—hour days. The old
expression of “making hay while the
sun shines,” is more truth than fiction
and from sun-up to sun—down, the farm-
er’s day, is not Within the limits of
eight hours, let alone six.

But there are other sides to this
story. Arbitrary limitation of the time
a man may devote in work to provide
a living for his family or for his per-
sonal advancement is bound to oper-
ate to sap ambition for better things
in life. It is not in accord with that
fundamental principle of our American
life that permits citizens to legislate
for themselves, providing they do not
overstep the bounds of decency or in-
terfere with the inalienable rights of
others. The independence of charac—
ter that brands an American as such
the world over has been too vital a
factor in the wonderful development
of this nation into the greatest in the
world for it to be sacrificed carelessly
to satiate the selfish and rapacious
whim of any radical group or element
in our country.

It may be suggested that so long as
such legislative power reposes with
the state legislature that the general
public has nothing to fear inconse~
quence of passage of an amendment of
this character in November. But it
should be remembered that history is
replete with instances of where and
how radical minorities have obtained
control of reins of government to the
confusion of an inaggressive majority;
also that we in Michigan have no guar-
antee that the capricious winds of po~
litical fancy may not waft into the leg-
islature some time or other sufficient
representatives of a loose-thinking
minority to jeopardize the welfare of
the farmer and the general public.

sired conformation that is so
frequently labeled “egg type” is
found among present-day poultrymen.
In most cases this type is more or
less hypothetical, due to limited ob-
servations or prejudice. Some are con—

occupies the same position as to pro-
duction.

Among the general characteristics
the head reveals, is the sensitiveness
of the internal mechanism, disposition,
refinement or ‘Icoarseness, feminity or
masculinity and constitutional vigor.

A heavy laying hen always possesses
a very refined head, indicating a bright,
active, and intelligent disposition. The
skull should be moderately narrow,
with an absence of coarseness directly
above the eyes. A wide skull with
over—hanging eyebrows indicate a pro-
pensity for broodiness. The face
should be lean and delicate, avoiding
the fat wrinkles common to the beef
types. A very delicate skin indicates
sensitiveness that responds readily to
care. Preference should be given to

siderable eye membrane directly in

hens of all breeds, the writer con-
cludes that no single egg type exists,
but there is a conformation peculiar
to all heavy layers. This conforma-
tion, although possessing definite
characteristics does not necessarily
make an individual type, to which all
highly productive hens must conform.

Figures one to three show more
clearly than can be described by pen
the tendency production has in alter—
ing type. These females poss ual
breeding, all are the progeny of a si
gle sire, and the record was made in
each case under equal environmental
conditions, at the Missouri Egg-laying
contest. The contrast in type is well
defined between the highest and low-

   

front of the eyeball. The jaw should
not be thick nor deep.

The head of every hen is construct-
ed a little differently and herein lies
a field for further study in the egg type
controversy. Not only is this an indi-
vidual characteristic, but also is found
to be a breed characteristic. 1n the
Leghorn family alone, the Brown ‘Vari—
ety are different from the White in
int of head structure. Although the
riation is not so pronounced as it is
b tween breeds, nevertheless a differ-
ence is easily noted. The Brown Leg-
horn possesses a shorter and rounder
head, full face and heavier skull.

The writer places particular stress
on the head because of. its direct asso-

      
 

 

ciation with the quality of the egg
sack and the correlation with body con-
formation.
Capacity of Egg Sack.

Reference is here made to the ca-
pacity, measured perpendicularly from
the tip of the keel to the pelvic bones
which are located on each side of the
vent. Most of the culling work con-
ducted throughout the country is bas~
ed largely on the capacity measure-
ments, spoken in terms of so much
finger room between these two points.
This test is used either separately or
in conjunction with the pigmentation
test. While both these tests have
many advantages and are sufficient for
the novice or for practical application
on the general farm where flock cull-
ing.only receives attention once a
year, on the other hand the specialist
does not enthuse much over he idea
of feeding high-priced grain for six

good hens would be discarded. It is
true an active condition of the ovaries

indication of present production but
how are we to get a clue as to the
profitableness of production.

By introducing a second factor,
namely, quality of the egg sack, con-
siderable information can be gained.

months to find out whether the hen
has the ability to produce or the vital-
ity to withstand the strain of heavy
production.

The weakness of straight capacity
measurements lies in the fact that all
laying hens, whether laying at a profit
or not, develop sufficient capacity to
pass inspection. In fact, many medi-
ocre hens show more capacity than
the heaviest producers, although this
is not always the case. Moreover, a
heavy—laying hen due to some local en-
vironmental condition, may be tempor-
arily off production. This would im-
mediately be reflected by a decrease
in capacity. measurements and unless
a little judgment were exercised many

The refinement of the head is always
very closely associated with quality
of egg sack. These two factors com-
bined are a safe guidance in selecting
and grading the laying hens.

In determining the capacity or qual-
ity of the egg sack a correct and uni-
form method of handling must be ob-
served. Unless the hen is properly
balanced, incorrect conclusions may
be drawn, due to the cramped position
in which the hen is held. Clasp her

OMETIMES in a single year more
momentous developments occur
than often happens in a lifetime.
The period between'October, 1919, and
October, 1920, has been Just such a
year to the farmers of Michigan, and
also to the farmers of the entire Unit~
ed States. Michiganfarmers have per-
formed a prominent part in molding
the new organization thought of the
country, and many states have follow-
ed the example of her State Farm Bu-
reau and linked commercial coopera-
tion with education.

This is the first anniversary of the
actual beginning of the organization
of the Michigan State Farm Bureau.
One year ago the farmers of Oakland
county “took a chance" and began
pledging their $30 apiece to finance a
state organization for three years. The
small organization that existed at that
time was several thousands of dollars
in debt but. had a great vision of the
possibilities of farm organizat: y in

MAKING PLANS FOR THE SALE OF,
MICHIGAN’S 1921 BEET coop.

 

AT 9. conference of representatives
of the sugar beet growers from
twenty-six counties of the state, held
at the offices of the Michigan State
Farm Bureau at Lansing, a committee
of five representative growers was ap‘
pointed to draft a plan for the disposi-
tion of the 1921 crop. The proposals
of the committee will then be submit
ted to another conference of growers
selected by the various counties inter»
ested, for further action. The second
conference will be called by the com-
mittee.

The names of the five growers se
lected to draft the preliminary plans
are: A. C. Smith, St. Clair county;
Clarence Oviatt, Bay county; L. H.
Kirtland, Monroe county; Thomas
Price, Saginaw county, and C. E. Han
riot, Clinton county.

At the first session of the confer‘
ence representatives from the several
counties reviewed the experiences of
beet growers in their respective coun.
ties for the past year. It. appears that
in some sections the members of the
local associations refused almost to a
man to grow beets, but in the ma-
jority of localities a varying percent-
age of the members, running up prac-
tically to all who joined, turned to the
production of beets when it became apo
parent that a satisftctory arrangement
could not be made for the sale of the
1920 crop. Both those who grew beets
and those who refused found their ad-
vocates in the conference, but notwith-
standing this difference of opinion as
to the past there was a wholesome
spirit of cooperation exhibited when
it came to the issue now confronting
growers. If one can judge by the ap
parent temperament of these men it
would appear that they are approach-
ing their new task of working out a

just contract between grov'ver and man-
ufacturer in a business-like way.

Our Circuit Rider Ends Good Hogy, Constructive Breeders unu’ Real Yeunz

 
 
  
 
  

   

”fore, Wei/e Swinging Around tne Soutnern Mic/ngun Circuit

HE present as well as the future male and sending them to market at a

of the swine breeding and feed‘

ing business in Michigan seems
especially rosy to farmers who have
suitable feedstuffs and the necessary
cash to invest in improved breeding
stock. While one can but guess what
the prices for breeding animals and
pork will be during the next few years,
conditions of the last year as a whole
have cast long shadows ahead that
seem to invite shrewd investment in
breeding stock and'the better use of
farm feeds.

For several years a feeling of uncer-
tainty and even pessimism has prevail-
ed among hog growers. Many breeders
have carried only a few sows and neg-
lected breeding until they now find
themselves short of good blood. Some
predicted that at the close of the war
prices for breeding stock would de-
crease rapidly. That prices have kept
up well, however, and that men who
have gone ahead improving their blood
lines have succeeded in making fair
profits is shown by reports of recent
sales and the demand for pigs capable
of making more pounds of pork from a
given amount of feed.

Unprecedented prices for superior,
breeding animals in the great pork-
producing states, together with the de-
velopment of the large growthy type
of pig, capable of making more eilicient
use of such feed crops as alfalfa, corn,
oats, barley and the like, has made the
business look good to many farmers
who are in a position to keep four or
five good sows and dispose of their
best pigs for breeding purposes. While
all men who invest in pure-bred swine
cannot hope to make fabulous profits,
there is no reason why any farmer who
has the combination of good feeds and
the ability to select good pigs and feed
them intelligently cannot make the
business pay a fair profit.

From a broad, general point of View
a steady, conservative growth of the
swine industry on the part of the
breeder, and the proper adjustment of
the farmer to the business with a min-
imum of speculation, are policies to
which no one can object, and which in
the long run seem safe for both the
breeder and the farmer. Michigan
breeders will make a mistake if they
try to introduce jazz prices into their
business. Such prices are not healthy.
For every five—hundred—dollar pig sold
to some breeder for five thousand dol-
lars, ten farmers are apt to pay five
hundred dollars a head for fifty-dollar
pigs. The real success of the Michigan

Poland China breeders depends upon
developing a bunch of good breeding
animals to sell at fair, but profitable,
prices and culling out their poorer ani-

   

i’eeding cost which leaves them a mar-
gin of'profit, as a rule, no matter what
the market may do.

During the past three months the
Circuit Rider has visited more than
eighty breeders of pure-bred swine in
Michigan and on none of the farms
have conditions been found that could
not be approximated, or even improv-
ed, on hundreds of other farms in the
good farming communities of every
county. Among the herds visited last
week were those of W. B. Ramsdell,
William J. Clarke, A. A. Feldkamp and
W. E. Livingston. A brief mention of
some of the animals and the lines of
breeding practiced may prove oi‘ ben-
efit to other men who have an ambi-
tion to dispose of their inferior hogs
and replace them with animals capable
of increasing the profits of the busi-
ness.

The first visit was at Farewell Lake

 

 

Clansman's Image and out of a Giant
Des Moines dam. Clansman's Image
is the boar that done so much to make
The Clansman the most famous sire
of the breed. Mr. Ramstlell purchased
this bear from T. If. Jackson one year
ago at his sale at South Bend, Ind.
A litter sister of Clansman’s Image ll
sold for $1,750-last winter. lie is a
real boar and is sure to make Poland
China history during the next few
years unless some unforeseen injury
should occur to impair his usefulness.

Another good sire that has been
used quite extensively at, Farewell
Lake Stock Farm is Smooth Wonder, 3.
son of Smooth Wonder 3rd and out of
a Big Des Moines dam. lie is the em-
bodiment of Big Type perfection, long
tail, deep bodied, heavy bone, and
stands on strong feet and legs. lie has
a wonderful strong, broad arched back
and weighs more than one thousand
pounds. His pigs show remarkable

 

 

 

Smooth Wonder ill, Wm. J. Clarke’s Herd Sire.

Stock Farm a few miles out of Han-
over. The farm consists of one hun-
dred and twenty acres devoted to gen-
eral farming and breeding pure—bred
swine. Mr. Ramsdell, who owns and
operates the farm, is one of the best
posted and most progressive Poland
China breeders in Michigan. Beginning
four years ago with only a few choice
animals he has made steady progress,
studying the business as he added to
the number of breeding animals in the
herd and always profiting by mistakes
as well as successes. Mr. Ramsdell has
two fine boys who take an interest in
the game and know the animals and
blood lines better than many breeders
who have been in the business for
years.

In Clansman’s Image II he has one
of the most promising young sires in
the state, and his future breeding op-
erations will be centered about this
boar. Clansman’s Image 11 is a son of

 

quality and finish and when bred to
Clansman’s Image 11 are sure to pro-
duce something that will make the
boys sit up and take notice.

Among the brood sows are two lit—
ter sisters t0 Smooth Wonder that.
have litters of pigs sired by Clansman’s
Image II. These two litters of pigs
are in fine condition and possess won-
derful backs and good bone. Another
splendid sow is Fashion Belle,adaugh-
ter of Big Fashion, one of Big Bob’s
best sons. Her dam is a daughter of
Giant Buster. Fashion Belle is one of
the best bred sows of the breed and
her individuality pleases the most crit-
ical judges. She has a litter of spring
pigs sired by The Outpost, a young
boar that sold for ten thousand dol-
lars at ten months of age; a record
price for the breed at that age. Other
good sows in the herd are Lady Won-
der 3rd. and Nellie R. They are both
wonderfully good individuals of proven

breeding qualities. Their pigs show
strong backs and uniformly good bone.
More could be said about other indi-
viduals in the herd. but a study of the
above blood lines will give the reader
and idea of the class of hogs that “Bar-
ney” Ramsdell will have to offer in his
sale on Wednesday. November 10.

The next, herd ViHiti-d was Wonder-
land llerd owned by W. J. Clarke, a
few miles from Eaton Rapids. Mr.
Clarke owns and operates a. splendid
two-hunt]red-acre farm devoted to the
breeding of Poland China swine and
general stock farming. For several
years Mr. Clarke has been active in
breeding circles and has had success-
ful sales. Always a firm advocate of
the Big Type hogs he has been a llbr
era] buyer of the best blood he could
find. At present his herd numbers
about one hundred and forty head and
is rich in the blood lines of the best
families of the Poland China aris-
tocracy. '

For a senior herd sire at Wonder-
land Farm, Mr. Clarke has Smooth
Wonder 3rd. Good judges of swine
agree that he is one of the great boars
of the breed. At six years of age he
stands up well on his toes and is as
active as a kitten. Smooth Wonder
3rd. is the sire of Smooth \Vonder,
Mr. Ramsdell’s herd sire, and also
some of the good sows in the same
herd.

For a junior herd sire he has Or-
phan Superior, a son of Big t)rphan’s
Equal and out of Beauty's Choice.
This young sire possesses good blood
lines, remarkably good type and back
development. He carries a coal black,
fine coat, nice head and ear and fair
length and depth. While strong in all
points that go to make up desirable
qualities in a breeding sire he possess-
es too much refinement, of type for
use in many herds where the sows are
strong in this quality. Some of his
pigs show up remarkably well and Mr.
(flax-kc has refusal two tempting offers
for a number of them. ‘

Some of Mr. Clarke’s sows have
been bred to L’s Big Orange and L’s
Lng Prospect, two sires that have

made good in W. E. Livingston's herd
and which will be described later in
this story. Among the brood sows in
the Wonderland herd are some excep-
tionally good daughters of Smooth
Vt’onder 3rd., L's Big Orange and other
good sires. ()ne granddaughter of
Giant Buster has a litter of pigs from
Smooth Wonder 3rd. that are sure to
attract attention. ()ne boar pig by
Art’s Progress is one of the real pros-
pects of the 1920 crop of Michigan
Poland China pigs. Mr. Clarke will

'l‘raflic Department Instificd

OLAND MORRILL, president of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau,
himself a well—known fruit grow-

er, describes the fruit situation this
year and the part the traffic depart~
ment of the Michigan State Farm Bu-
reau has played in solving the situa-
tion as follows:

“For nineteen years the fruit indus-
try of the western part of Michigan
was’built around the system of refrig-
erator distribution. The action of the
wholesale grocers against the Chicago
packers last year resulted in driving
the packers out of the fruit transporta-
tion business. They sold their car
lines to the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Central Georgia Railways, leaving
Michigan with no definite or reliable
system of refrigerator cars.

“The only cars owned by railroads
in this state were the M. D. T.’s owned
by the New York Central, which only
possessed forty per cent of the cars
they needed to handle their own
traffic.

“Augmenting this abnormal situa-
tion, this year brought forth a phenom-
enal crop of fruit in Michigan, nearly
all varieties producing heavily. In the
absence of any concerted effort on the
part of anybody well informed the rail-
road companies knew little or nothing
of what the requirements would be up
to within one month of the time when
the great demand was to be made upon
them for refrigerators.

“This condition was brought about,
not by lack of good intentions, but
through the fact that the railroads
were being taken back into private
ownership and the work which should
have been done by the government,
looking toward future service had not
been done.

“At about this time the traffic de‘
partment of the Michigan State Farm
Bureau was organized with Frank E.
Coombs as director. The first problem
was to release the canning industry
from a condition that threatened to
wreck the canners and cause serious
loss to the farmers who were furnish-
ing them their fruit. Orders for four
hundred cars of cans and thirteen hun—
dred cars of coal, which had been ac-
cepted and filled, were standing on the
side tracks in distant cities. There
was no action and the crop was begin-
ning to ripen.

“The traffic department stepped into
the breach and within one week secur-
ed action which resulted in the can-
ners getting the goods they needed and
the farmers got the benefit.

“About this time it was discovered
that the other crops were going to be
very much larger than originally antic-
ipated and the refrigerator car matter
assumed desperate proportions. The
state authorities did not appear to be
getting any results when appealed to,
but the traffic department of the farm
bureau took the matter up and the re-
sult has been that up to this date about
six thousand cars of perishable prod-
ucts have been loaded in refrigerators
and'rolled to destination in very good
order considering the chaotic condition
under which the reason started. With
a. fair prospect of our getting four or
five thousand more cars which are be-
ing gathered in the state, this year’s
crop will be reasonably well taken
care of.

“The loss of a reliable refrigerator
system to Michigan through the action
of the wholesale grocers’ organization
and some oflicials of our state has re-
sulted in the loss of millions of dollars
to the fruit growers and canners of the
state of Michigan and is very much to
be regretted, but it is probable that
this industry was ,not taken into con-
sideration in the legal efforts made to
stifle the competition furnished by the
packers which resulted in bringing the

 

producers and consumers closer togeth-

’3“.

er than they have ever been in the
past. _

“The farm bureau has the situation
in hand as far as it is possible for
parties not. having financial interest in
the operation of railroads. They Seem
to' have the confidence of the railroad
authorities through the traffic depart-
ment and they'are certainly getting
willing cooperation from the railroads-
to the extent of their ability and it is
hoped that the situation will be greatly
improved before another crop has to
be handled.

“On the whole, we are quite well
pleased with results, considering the
advérse conditions we had to contend
with.”

An illustration of the vital need of
the traffic department is shown in the
words of another large fruit grower:

“Every day a certain number of cars
would be brought into the local train
yards and the word would be passed
from mouth to mouth, ‘The town is all
right for today.’ "

Many other towns were in this same
position. They depended absolutely
upon the traffic department to get them
enough cars to market their crops. It
the fruit growers had not had cars for
one day in any section, their crop
would have been ruined. They would
never have caught up.

A farmer of Beulah, Benzie county,
says: “I had six hundred bushels of
peaches one Sunday, if I had not had
a car on Monday morning they would
have been lost, but the car was there.”

Marketing of his crops expeditiously
has always been one of the biggest
problems of the year to a farmer. A
big percentage of his products must
move from the farm to market prompt
1y. And whether cars would be on the
siding in his community when he need-
ed them has been a. gamble that kept
the average farmer, whether in Michi‘
gun, or Maine 01' California, on pins
and needles.

The fruit men have seen this year
and in past years thousands of dollars
rot in barrels, crates and packages,
just because the refrigerator car or
cars that the station agent promised
failed to be cut off at that point. And
the live stock men have oftentimes had
stock assembled ready to load on a
scheduled day, only to experience an
exasperating wait. of several days and
see a shrinkage in the weight of their
penned-up stock that cost them cold
dollars and cents in the meantime.

One factor that contributed largely
to this condition was the fact that the
railroads, big corporations with multi-
tudinous details to handle, frequently
mislaid or ignored or forgot requests
from individual shippers, who as fro
quently as not filed their requests for
equipment at the eleventh hour.

Now to a material extent conditions
have changed in Michigan. The rail-
roads have more confidence in the
farmers, because those farmers have
instituted an agency that continually
has direct contact with the railroads
and which the railroads know they can
intelligently and congenially deal with.
It is the Michigan State Farm Bureau’s
state traffic department.

This agency is in position to antici-
pate car requirements of localities,
make applications for equipment and
follow through the requests. The rail-
roads say they are ready to listen to
this one big agency instead of half-
heartedly heed the demands of him-
dreds of individuals and organizations.
The change has been in the interests
of economy and efliciency.

In speaking of the qualifications of
the State Farm Bureau to ‘voice‘ the
equipment needs of the farmers of the
state, C. C. Corlett, gbneral manager of
the Fruit Growers’ Express Company
says: “No one is better qualified to
speak upon this subject than you are. ’

.HIPPEWA county has about two
thousand five hundred carloads

of hay to ship this season, re-
ports County Agricultural Agent E. L.
Kunze, 6f Sault Ste. Marie. This east-
ernmost county of the northern penin-
sula has much heavy clay soilthat for
years has produced heavy crops of
clover and timothy hays. About two-
thirds of this year’s crop is mixed-clo-
ver and timothy; the rest, timothy.
The practice of raising hay in Chippe-

-wa county arose in the days when

farmers had to put in much of their
time working‘in the woods ‘and there
was little time left for crops that re-
quire attention. It is recognized that
this long-continued exportation of hay
from the county is bad for soil even
as rich as that of Chippewa county,
and there is now a tendency to turn to
dairying. Some four hundred farmers,
Mr. Kunze reports, have contracted to
sell their hay through the County
Farm Bureau, now a flourishing organ-
ization of thirteen hundred members.
Houghton county also has shipped
some hay this year, notably fifteen car-
loads to Winnepeg, this spring, to re-
lieve the forage shortage in northwest
Canada. Chippewa’s hay, this sea-
son, is reported to run from one to
three and one-half tons per acre.

While this section is called “Clover-
land,” because of the luxuriant growth
of the crop in many sections of the
peninsula, little clover seed is produc-
ed here so far as I can learn. A com-
mon reason given is the shortness of
the season and the interference of fall
rains at maturing time. The rich clays
of southern Ontonagon county grow
clover in abundance and in a wild
state, and here clover seed is success-
fully grown. One thresherman reports
yields of alsike seed as high as six
bushels per acre, with three and four
bushels the average. Red clover seed
is secured from the first cutting.

Some Unthought of Products.

That the upper peninsula has mil-
lions of acres of land never touched
by the plow, permits the growth of
many natural products of vegetation
that usually do not figure as a Michi-
gan farm crop. ‘ Almost by accident
the secretary of the Upper Peninsula
Development Bureau, Mr. J. A. Doelle,
recently elicited the fact that from
one hundred thousand to one hundred
and fifty thousand pounds of club-moss
go out of this country to one Indiana
firm alone to be used for decorative
purposes, after being dyed and prop-
erly prepared. An upper peninsula ex-
porting concern likewise reports ship-
ments of this material 'and grounds
pine amounting to some three hundred
tons in a year. Weddings and funerals
calls for much of this material. The
gathering of it makes work for coun-
try children, who are said to be paid

three to four cents per pound for col-
lecting it. \

That enormous quantities 0f berries
go out of this country in their season
is well known, especially by the rail-
way men who have to handle them;
and now comes L. M. Geismar, County
Agent of Houghton county, with the
discovery of a true white, or nearly
white, raspberry, growing wild near
Toivola in that county. Mr. Geismar
believes this is no freak and has ob-
tained seed for propagation this fall
and next spring. This white raspberry
is said to be much sweeter than the
red type. Mr. Geismar is not satisfied
with the Michigan blueberry and is go-
ing to try to grow a much larger type
from stock obtained from New Jersey
where a berry comparable with the
cherry in size has been developed.~The
“Calumet News” recently announced
the discovery of a distinct new berry,
of delicious quality, in a swamp near-
by; but little authentic has been learn—
ed regarding it. So our cut-overs pro-
duce something besides brush—fires and
delinquent tax lands. One successful
honey-producer near Iron Mountain
believes in a future large honey indus-
try in this section because the bees
find an unrivaled source of supply on
the same cut-over areas. Finally a
recent Menominee report states that
a local farmer has shipped to Chicago
one hundred pounds of golden seal
for which he received $600, and that
he still has one thousand pounds to
ship; and that he regards that locality
as excellent for its production. To
many people this is real “agricultural”
news.

Fires Under Control.

The forest and brush-fire situation
in the west portion of the peninsula,
which was pretty bad early in the
week of October 11 has greatly improv-
ed since the general rains during the

 

week, heaviest where they were most
needed. There was some destruction
of farm property in Gogebic and other,
western counties, and lumbermen suf-
fered considerably. That many fires
were set close to the railroads suggests
that hunters were not wholly respon-
sible for the condition. Frosts con—
tinue to hold off remarkably well in the
lake shore areas. Marquette has had
no killing frost up to October 17, with
none in prospect, the lowest official
temperature of the season being thir-
ty-nine degrees at the end of Sep-
tember.
Developing Community Spirit.

It has become quite the fashion for
an upper peninsula community to have
a pageant. Sault Ste. Marie had its
pageant in June to commemorate the
one—hundredth anniversary of the com-
ing of the American flag to the north—
ern peninsula of Michigan with Gov-
ernor Lewis Cass as its bearer. On'

 

 

 

       
 

 

 

 

   

 

 
       
     
 
  
  
   
  
 
  
 
   
 
 
  
  
  

 

  
       

A Willing Servant For
Winter Chores

No more eflicient or useful utility has ever been
designed to serve the man in the country than the
Midwest Utilitor. It is the trusty servant of the
farm and farm home because of the things it will
do at a time when animal power is carried at a
loss~—in Winter

Now is fuel—gathering time. A Utilitor will
“snake” big logs to your barnyard and there it
will run your wood saw. In no time this little
bundle of power will accumulate vour fuel supply
for the winter. —

You can haul your saw to your neighbors and cut
their wood thus making the Utilitor pay its way.

Use It With a Snow
Plow

Especially at this time of the
year the Utilitor comes into its
own. With snow to be cleared,
this sturdy utility equipped with
even a make-shift plow will keep
the paths open to barn, chicken
houses, hog houses and around
the house.

Will Help Light
Your Home

Besides keeping you warm the
Utilitor will help light your home.
A Utilitor and a lighting set, de-
signed for use with this machine,
can be purchased from any Utilitor
dealer for only a few dollars more
than a lighting set alone.

Dependable For All y-j
Belt Work ' ' ' ..

All winter long you can depend
on your Utilitor to grind feed, shell
com,turn a grindstone,pump water,
run a cream separator, washing ma—
chine or churn. Such belt work
can be done either on an individ-
ual or a line shaft.

If you would know more of what
this machine can do, go to your
dealer and let him show you. He
will demonstrate its uses gladly.
The Utilitor is useful 365 days a
year. ._

hold his third annual sale Tuesday,
November 9.

The next herd visited was that of
A. A. Feldkamp, five miles out of Man-
Chester. Mr. Feldkamp owns and op-
erates an excellent one hundred and
sixty—eight—acre farm with Poland Chi-
na. swine as his specialty. During the
past four years he has been actively
engaged in breeding up a herd of pure-
bred swine and has alw-ays aimed to
produce the best within the breed.
Feldkamp is sort of a quiet, unassum-
ing chap who listens while the other
fellows do the talking, and then goes
out and buys the best and breeds them
better. His 1920 Show herd at the
Michigan State Fair proved an eye-
opener to many breeders who came
there fully satisfied with the class of
had been producing for
years. His under-a-year boar pig, F’s
Clansman, a son of Lord Clansman and
out of Buster’s Orange, a daughter of
L’s Big Orange, proved the real sensa—
tion of the 1920 State Fair. Lord Clans~
man, the sire of this grand champion
under-a-year boar, is a son of The
Clansman and out of Silver Brook
Model. Mr. Feldkamp is keeping F’s
Clansman for a future herd sire and
has every reason in the world to ex-
pect his pigs to justify his choice.
Another splendid boar being used in
the Feldkzunp herd is Smooth Buster,
a son of Buster Giant 5th and out of
Princess Wonder, 3. daughter of Big
Smooth Wonder, and out of Lady
Jumbo. Smooth Buster was junior
yearling champion at Detroit this fall
and is a wonderfully good sire. With
these two sires in his herd Mr. Fold-
kamp has two lines of breeding that
nick well wherever they have been
given a fair chance.

Among the brood sows in the herd,
Smooth Wonder and Buster blood lines
predominate and have meant every-
thing in producing the best individuals
in the herd. One of the crack sows
Princess Wonder has proved a remark-
ably good breeder and produced pigs
that were prominent among this year’s
winners at Detroit. In breeding con-
dition she will tip the scales at seven
hundred pounds and is two years of
age. Her litter mate, Pride Wonder,
is another good sow and farrowed
thirty-one pigs before she was two
years old. Her sister, Queen Wonder,
is one of the foundation dams of the
herd. Mr. Feldkamp will hold a sale
some time in January.

This is one of the important potato-

tato yield of some two hundred thou;
sand bushels. A Bork river, Delta

in the peninsula seem to demonstrate
the .great utility of potash on muck

ers have purchased twenty-seven head

spection trip into Wisconsin. This is
a valuable addition to the pure-bled
stock of the county, including both
bulls and cows.—~The campaign for
members of the farm} bureau in Hough~

Among Poland China Herds

source of some of the prominent blood
lines in these herds. We started for
Purina to visit the farm of W. E. Liv-
ingston. A number of years ago when
college professors and writers for farm
papers were telling farmers that baby
pork was the thing. Bil-l Livingston
began to scratch his head over the
matter and look around. He found that
out in Iowa there was a man named
Peter Mouw who had preserved in his
herd all of the old—time vigor and pro-
lificacy of the breed. Insteamof look
ing like a duck egg on four carpet
tacks these Poland Chinas had four
real legs and a big, strong arched back
that looked like a rainbow of hope to
Bill after he had been harassed by
the professors and farm press, so he
took a trip to Mouw’s farm and in-
vested ln some of his big type breed-
ing stock. That was some time ago,
and now that this type has come thun-
dering back into favor we will forgive
the professors and press and extend a
vote of thanks to Bill Livingston for
preserving seed stock for Michigan
breeders. That is enough for any one
man to do, but Bill Livingston is not
satisfied to retire from the game until
the Poland China. breed regains the
lead from their Duroc Jersey rivals.

Among the herd boars at the Liv-
ingston farm is L’s Big Orange, a big
th1‘ee~year-old son of Orange Bud and
out of a Chief Price dam. This is a.
boar of excellent type, big bone,
straight lines and strong arched back.
Experienced breeders agree that he is
one of the outstanding aged sires in
Michigan.

Lord Clansman, a son of The Clans-
man and out of a Giant Buster dam.
has proved an exceptionally good sire,
and so many of his pigs have been
winners at this year’s shows that no
further comment is needed to prove
the prepotency of his blood lines. A:
an individual he is all that could be
desired in a. herd sire.

Another boar of which Mr. Living-
ston is anticipating great things is
Daddy Longiegs. This boar has a back
higher than a mad cat and four" legs
capable of supporting twelve hundred
pounds of pork. He will bear watching.

Mr. Livingston has a group of large.
prolific sows bred along Orange.
Giant Buster, Big Des Moines, Big
Bone Model, Big Orphan and Emer-
ick’s Chief Lines. Three young sows

7013 thumb passing gently against the
lower flight feathers. Held in this way
the hen makes no effort to escape. By
using the left hand, measurements are
easily obtained, both for quality and
capacity of egg sack. The right leg
of the hen should be
free, otherwise a cramp-
ed condition of the egg
sack results, diminish-
ing capacity measure-
ments and inating the
egg sack.

The capacity measure—
ments and inflating the
fluctuates according to
the rate of yolk elabor-
ation. It is an indica-
tion of immediate pro—
duction. A good layer
must have a large capa-
city, but all hens with
a large capacity are not
good layers.

There is a greater
variation in the quality
of the egg sack than in
the capacity of laying
hens. Ordinarily the
laying hen will show a
Spread of from four to
six fingers capacity.
This does not mean
that all hens with equal capacity are
equally good layers nor is the hen
with the largest capacity necessarily
a better layer than the hen of less ca-
pacity. Here is where the quality test
should be supplemented to more ac-
curately determine each hen’s ability
to produce. -

The degree of quality is determined
by the flexibility of the egg sack. It
should yield readily to pressure, direct-
ly above the keel bone, and below and
between the pelvic arches. The egg
sack should be full, mellow, warm,
and lifelike to the touch. The skin~is
fine and elastic, similar to the loose
mellowhide common to the best dairy
cows. The best dairy breeders in the
country acknowledge that the cow
with the finest handling qualities of
udder is the most persistent milker
and the hardest to dry up. Likewise
the hen with‘the best quality of egg
sack is the most persistent producer.

Capacity indicates the rate of yolk
elaboration on the cycle of production
but quality'of egg sack determines the
persistence of rythm or the number
of months the hen will be productive.

It has a practical value in culling dur-
ing the summer and is essentially a
test for the novice. To the student of
egg types, greater stress and more im-
portance is attached to the actual
body conformation.

Both the rate of bleaching and the
degree of pigment must be considered.
Heavy winter layers that have been
used for incubation and brooding ‘pur-
poses will show a very light yellow in
the shanks indicating a previous
bleached condition followed by a rest
period. Highly colored shanks of gol-
den hue, indicating greater density of
pigment, of course, have not had the
physical strain on their system 'of
heavy production. Whereas, all hens
displaying an abundance of pigment
in all sections, including vent, eye ring,
face, beak and shanks have not pro-
duced profitably’due to either the fact
that they are constitutionally poor lay-
ers or have been denied the happy
environment that makes for produc-
tion. The rule does not always work
inversely but is generally reliable and
accurate in the first laying year.

A few conditions where judgment
must be exercised is in the case of
older hens, exhibiting white legs due
to lessened vitality. Pullets suffering
from ovarian disturbances, will fre-
quently show a bleached condition,
but the quality of egg sack test imme-
diately reveals the hardened mass of
yolks in the body
cavity.

Production and vital-
ity are both manifest-
ed in the rate of bleach-
ing. Hens of the three-
hundred-egg class do
not show an entirely
bleached condition of
the shanks until a rec-

two hundred eggs or better. One should
look‘ well to the long-season layer.

Ordinarily the late moulting hen
presents a. ragged and tattered ap-
pearance towards the end of October.
This is due to the brittleness of the
feathers which seem to undergo chang-
es similar to bleaching of the pigment
from shanks and other sections.

The hen on millinery display pre-
sents a sleek, unbleached condition in-
dicative of her past performance in
terms of low egg yield.

Systematic culling of the farm flock
should be practiced continuously from
the first of July until the middle of
September, eliminating the unprofit-
able hens as they cease producing.

HE National Dairy Show knows
not the meaning of the word re-
treat; its fourteenth exhibit,
upon which the gates have just closed,
climaxed all previous efforts of the
capable management. In beauty and

chanical appliances, in attendance, in
space occupied, in artistry of setting,
in insiructivoness of educational ex-
hibits and in comprehensiveness it
was a superlative show.

This year, for the first time, the
sphere of the show’s influence was ex-
tended to the small breeder, even to
the man with but one good cow. The
state herds, made up of ten animals
each, selected by the state breeders
associations greatly extended the en-
try list, and caused many men who oth-
erwise never would have done so, to
become a part of the Show. Only two
breeds, the Holsteins and Guernseys,
mustered the necessary five state
herds, however. State pride and breed
partisanship will undoubtedly stimu-
late a big expansion of this feature of
the show in future exhibitions.

Entries in the dairy products divi-
sion were more numerous than ever
before and the quality ranked high.
Two new classes for storage butter
were included for the first time. The
butter was unsalted, of the kind known
as “Navy,” an outgrowth of the war
trade, and had been kept in storage
for four months.

Dairy equipment was shown every-
where. Artisiically environed with
palms, ferns and autumn leaves in uni-
form booths with a spick and span ap-
pearance that suggested a hospital op-
erating room, the machinery exhibit
was wonderful. A wealth of inventive
genius is being expended in finding
new processes and supplying better
machinery for dairymen and their in-
dustrial co-laborers in the work of fur-
nishing clean and sanitary milk and
its products to the human race. No
consumer could fail to be impressed
by the evidence of the intricacy of the
industry which brings milk to his door
step. If any known device of value
was not represented it was not missed.
New processes were not numerous,
but they were there. The electric
method of purifying milk, now used to
some extent in Detroit, was never
shown here before. Carbonated ice
cream and a new form of condenser
were other new developments of the
year. The small milking machine for
the man with a few cows and the more
extensive application of the truck to

milk transportation were natural out-

growths to lat or shortage and rail-
road inefficiency. A complete list of
this feature of the show covers the
entire range of dairy activity. Feed
cutters, barns, silos, barn equipment,
milking machines, cans, bottles, bottle
washers, sterilizers, cleansing agents,
capping machines, various kinds of

' crowns, milk wagons, milk tank trucks,

delivery trucks, refrigerator trucks,
freezers, evaporators, , .pasteurizers,

 

milk drying machines. emulsifiers, re-

utility of the cow, in profusion of me- _

 

  

These-can be readily detected, by three‘
simple tests, namely: “The bleaching
of the pigment from the shanks and
other sections, which indicates past
production. Secondly, the spread or
contracted condition of the egg sack
for present production, and lastly, the
presence or absence of pin feathers,
which indicates future production for
that particular‘season. Briefly, a hen
with yellow legs, contracted egg sack
and early moulting possesses all the
sins of a poor layer and the opposite
holds good for heavy layers.

While the last culling should be con-
cluded about the middle of September,
all hens that are still laying at this
time can be considered profitable, but

frigerators, engines, thermol apparat-
us, conveyors, ice cream makers’ sup-
plies, all were shown in actuality or
through miniatures with a wealth of
nickel plate, glass, enamel and burnish<
ed copper.

A day’s time would not suffice for
the study and assimilation of the ex‘
hibit, which portrayed the work of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in the field of dairying, although
it was presented in graphic style with
all manner of animated devices to reg-
ister impressions quickly. A vast
amount of literature was distributed
and numerous specialists were in at-
tendance to explain and answer ques-
tions. The results of cow-testing as-
sociation work were shown by charts
and figures and by a demonstration
herd of twelve cows, some good, some
poor, selected from herds belonging to
a Wisconsin cow-testing association.
Speakers drafted upon the ground,
talked about various phases of dairy
production to visitors at this exhibit.
The work of the National Bank at
Grove City, Pennsylvania, in building
up an interest in dairying in its com-
munity and the gain to the bank from
such constructive work, constituted an
eloquent sermon. The benefits from
the use of pure-bred sires, as well as a
practical means of obtaining them at
low cost; the control of infectious dis-
eases and the development of accred-
ited herds, which amounts to a clean
bill of health so far as tuberculosis is
concerned, and the importance of an
ample supply of minerals, especially
calcium and phosphorous in the ration
of the dairy cow, were the subjects of
other booths. The business and mar-

keting side of dairy production waS'

not overlooked, accounting methods in
dairy organizations, market inspection
of dairy products, cooperative purchas-
ing and marketing and the work of re
porting markets and gathering statis-
tics of importance to the dairymen
were featured. Graphs, charts, sam-
ples of daily mail reports sent free
from government offices with .the lat-
est telegraphic news on the butter and
cheese markets were on display. Mak-
ing Swiss cheese in the United States
by methods developed by the depart—
ment of agriculture was another fea-
ture.

The advertising value of the recent
findings of science upon the value of
milk as a food, was used to the utmost
in the exhibit of the government and
also in that of the national dairy coun-
cil. The benefits of adding milk to
the, diet of under-nourished children
were illustrated concretely. Models
were used to show relative butter and
cheese consumption in this and other
countries. The visitor learned that
our annual per capita butter consump-
tion is 17.5 pounds, but Denmark, New
Zealand and Australia consumes still
more. In cheese consumption ,the
United States stands toward the bot
tom of the list with 3.8 pounds 'per
capita annually. Italy, Norway, France,
United Kingdom, Denmark, Nether-

-there is a’lver’y important phase to be

conducted during October or early in
November. The exceptional layers are
still pegging away when the day’s work
means six or seven cents for every egg
produced. These are the most desir-
able hens in the whole flock and should
be banded as special breeding stock
from which all of next season’s chicks
should be derived. In this way we not
only weed out the drones, but build up
a heavier laying flock. It is quite ob«
vious the hen that can withstand the
strain of ten or twelve months’ produo
tion, will not only give a higher egg
yield, with its ”increased profits, but
she also has the vitality so necessary
for reproduction.

1920 National Dairy Show

lands and Switzerland all
more cheese than we do. Switzerland

consumes seven times as much per»

capita. Models were used also to show
the consumption of various forms of
dairy products in the 'United~ States.
The daily consumption of cold milk
amounts to one pound; butter two.
thirds of an ounce; ice cream, three-
fourths of an ounce; cheese, one—sixth
of an ounce; condensed milk, one-half
ounce; milk powder one-eightieth of
an ounce, whereas, according to the
national dairy council these amounts
should be just twice as great. Instead
of spending twenty per cent of the
family‘s food money for dairy prod-
ucts and eighty per cent for other
foods, as is now the case, forty per
cent should be spent for dairy prod-
ucts. Thus would be made possible the
maintenance of a larger number of
cows possessing higher than the pres-
ent average yielding capacity.

In the students’ judging contest,
twenty-one teams representing the ag-
ricultural colleges of almost half of
the states in the Union competed.
Kansas won. This feature may seem
unimportant to the average breeder,
yet each year it binds a group of pro
gressive young men who are likely to
become the leaders of the» future to
the show. Iowa. was second, Kentucky
third, Purdue fourth-and Pennsylvania
fifth. High individual honors went to
a member of the Kansas team, a Jer-
sey scholarship to one of his team
mates, and a Holstein scholarship to
a member of the Minnesota team. Ne-
braska captured the Guernsey trophy
and the Ayrshire trophy went to Mary-
land.

Fifteen states from Delaware to Ne-
braska and from Michigan to Texas,
competed in the junior contest with
teams selected through local county
and state contests. The lads from Mis-
souri were the winners, second place
going to Illinois and third to Texas.
In the dairy products judging contest
for college students, the Ohio team
won first, Maryland second, Iowa third,
South Dakota fourth and Purdue fifth.

Michigan dairy cattle were repre-
sented by entries from one Guernsey
and two Holstein herds. The prize
lists testify as to their merits. The
state Holstein breeders maintained an
attractive booth at which the coming
breed sale was thoroughly advertised.
A team of lads from Michigan was in
the junior judging contest and Michi-
gan producers. were represented in the
Show of dairy products. The work of
the cow-testing association in Newaygo
county was featured in the govern-
ment exhibit. Sons of Michigan were
prominent in the activities of the week.
Among these were D. D. Aitkin, pres-
ident of the Holstein-Friesian Associa-
tion, and Dudley Waters, of Grand
Rapids, who has recently returned
from a visit to the devastated regions
of Franch and who is chairman of the
committee of Holstein breeders which
is endeavoring to collect one mensand
bulls to be sent as a. gift to France. , ,

“I suppose I’ll have to,” he murmur-
ed sadly. “I dare say you’re right,
though one should never admit defeat
until he’s counted out. I suppose,” he
continued bitterly, “your uncle is in
high feather this morning.”

“I don’t know, Bryce. He left in his
motor for San Francisco about one
o’clock this morning.”

For an instant Bryce Cardigan star-
ed at her; then a slow, mocking little
smile crept around the corners of his
mouth, and his eyes lighted with mirth.

“Glorious news, my dear Shirley, per-
fectly glorious! So the old fox has
gone to San Francisco, eh? Left in a
hurry and via the overland route!
Couldn’t wait for the regular passen-
ger—steamer tomorrow, eh? Great jump-
ing Jehosaphat! He must have had
important business to attend to.” And
Bryce commenced to chuckle. “Oh, the
old pirate! What a horrible right
swing he is running into! And you
want me to acknowledge defeat! My
dear girl, in the language of the class-
ic, there is nothing doing. I shall put
in my Crossing Sunday morning, and
if you don’t believe it, drop around and
see me in action.”

“You musu’t try,” protested Shirley.
“Rondeau is there with his crewmand
he has orders to stop you. Besides,
you can’t expect help from the police.
Uncle Seth has made a deal with the
mayor,” Shirley pleaded frantically.

“That for the police and that venal
Mayor Poundstone!” Bryce retorted,
with another snap of his fingers. “I’ll
rid the city of them at the fall elec-
ton."

“I came prepared to suggest a com-
promise, Bryce.” she declared, but he
interrupted her with a ware of his
hand.

“You can’t. effect a compromise. You
have been telling me 1 shall never
build the N. C. 0. because you will not
permit me to. You’re powerless, I tell
you. I shall build it.”

“You shan’t!” she fired back at him,
and a spot of anger glowed in each
cheek. “You’re the most stubborn and
belligerent man I have ever known.
Sometimes I almost hate you."

“Come around at ten tomorrow morn—
ing and watch me put in the crossing
——watch me give Rondeau and his gang
the run.” He reached over suddenly,
lifted her hand, and kissed it. “How
I love you, dear little antagonist!” he
murmured.

“If you loved me, you wouldn’t op-
pose me,” she protested softly. “I tell
you again, Bryce, you make it very
hard for me to be friendly with you.”

“I don’t want to be friendly with
you. You’re driving me crazy, Shirley.
Please run along home, or wherever

you’re bound. I’ve tried to understand
your peculiar code, but you’re too deep
for me; so let me go my way to the
devil. George Sea Otter is outside
asleep in the tonneau of the car. Tell
him to drive you wherever you’re go-
ing. I suppose you’re afoot today, for
I noticed the mayor riding to his'oflice
in your sedan this morning.”

She tried to look outraged, but for
the life of her she could not take of-
fense at his bluntn‘ess; neither did she
resent a look which she detected in his
eyes, even though it told her he was
laughing at her.

“Oh, very well,” she replied with
what dignity she could muster. “Have
it your own way. I’ve tried to warn
you. Thank you for the offer of the
car. I shall be glad to use it. Uncle
Seth sold my car to Mayor Pound-
stone last night. Mrs. P.
it so!”

“Ah! Then it was that rascally
Poundstone who told your uncle about
the temporary franchise, thus arousing
his suspicions to such an extent that
when he heard his locomotive rumb<
ling into town, he smelled a rat and
hurried down to the crossing?”

“Possibly. The Poundstones dined
at our house last night.”

“Pretty hard on you, I should say.
But then I suppose you have to play
the game with Uncle Seth. Well, good
morning, Shirley. Sorry to hurry you
away, but you must remember we’re
on a strictly business basis—myet; and
you mustn’t Waste my time.”

“You’re horrid, Bryce Cardigan.”

“You’re adorable. Good morning.”

“You’ll be sorry for this,” she warn-
ed him. “Good morning.” She passed
out into the general office, visited with
Moira about five minutes, and drove
away in the Napier. Bryce watched
her through the window. She knew he
was watching her, but nevertheless she
could not forbear turning round to ver-
ify her suspicions. When she did, he
waved his sound arm at her, and she
flushed with vexation.

“God bless her!” he murmured.
“She’s been my ally all along, and I
never suspected it! I wonder what her
game can be.” ,

He Sat musing for a long time.
“Yes,” he concluded presently, “old
Poundstone has double-crossed us“
and Pennington made it worth his
while. And the Colonel sold the mayor
his niece‘s automobile. It’s werth tWen-
ty~f1ve hundred dollars, at least, and
since old Poundstone’s finances will

admired-

not permit such an extravagance, I’m
wondering how Pennington expects
him to pay for it. I smell a. rat as‘big
as a kangaroo. In this case two and
two don’t make four. They make six!
Guess I’ll build a fire under old Pound-
stone.”

He took down the telephone-receiver
and called up the mayor. "Bryce Car-
digan speaking, Mr. Poundstone,” he
greeted the chief executive of Sequoia.

“Oh, hello, Bryce, my boy,” Pound-
stone boomed affably. “How’s tricks?”

“So~so! I hear you’ve bought that
sedan from Colonel Pennington’s niece.
Wish I’d known it was for sale. I’d
have outbid you. Want to make a profit
on your bargain?”

“No, not this Inorning, Bryce. I think
we’ll keep it. Mrs. P. has been want-
ing a closed car for a long time, and
when the Colonel offered me this one
at a bargain, I snapped it up. Couldn’t
afford a new one, you know, but then,
this one’s just as good as new.”

“And you don’t care to get rid of it
at a profit?” Bryce repeated.

“No, sirree!”

“Oh, you’re mistaken, MI. Mayor. I
think you do. I would suggest that you
take that car back to Pennington’s gar-
age and leave it there. That would be
the most profitable thing you could do.”

“Wha—what—what in blue blazes
are you driving at?” the mayor sput-
tered.

“I wouldn’t care to discuss it over
the telephone. I take it, however, that
a hint to the wise is sufficient; and I
warn you, mayor, that if you keep that
car it will bring you bad luck. Today
is Friday, and Friday is an unlucky
day. I’d get rid of that sedan before
noon if I were you.”

There was a long, fateful silence.
Then in a singularly small, quavering
voice: “You think it best, Cardigan?”

“I do. Return it to No. 38 Redwood
Boulevard, and no questions will be
asked. Good—bye!”

When Shirley reached home at noon,
she found her car parked in front of
the ports cochere; and a brief note,
left with the butler, informed her that
after thinking the matter over, Mrs.
Poundstone had decided the Pound-
stone family could not afford such an
extravagance, and accordingly the car
was returned with many thanks for the
opportunity to purchase it at such a
ridiculously low figure. Shirley smiled
and put the car up in the garage. When
she returned to the house her maid
Thelma informed her that Mr. Bryce

fl]. 1(7/{12‘8 w“ You Tall [/18 Lift/r fldding Mac/zinc, ‘Yau’rr a. Good 0m on My Comm'r. ”

Cardigan had been calling her on the

telephone. So she called Bryce up at
once.
“Has Poundstone returned your.

car?” he queried.
' “Why, yes. What makes you ask?”

“Oh, I had a suspicion he might. You
see, I called him up and suggested it;
somehow his honor is peculiarily sus-
ceptible to suggestions from me,
and—”

“Bryce Cardigan,” she declared, “you
are a sly rascal—that’s what you are.
I shan’t tell you another thing.”

“I hope you had a. stenographer at
the dictograph when the mayor and
your uncle cooked up their little deal,”
he continued. “That was thoughtful
of you, Shirley. It was a bully club to
have up your sleeve at the final show~
down, for with it you can make Unkie-
dunk behave himself and force that
compromise you spoke of. Seriously,
however, I don’t want you to use it,
Shirley. We must avoid a scandal by
all means; and praise be, I don‘t need
your club to beat your uncle’s brains
out. I’m taking his club away from
him to use for that purpose.”

“Really, I believe you’re happy to-
day.”

“Happy? I should tell a man! If
the streets of Sequoia were paved with
eggs, I could walk them all day with.
out making an omelette.”

“It must be nice to feel so happy,
after so many months of the blues.”

“Indeed, it is, Shirley. You see until
very recently I was very much worried
as to your attitude toward me. I could
not believe you’d so far forget yourself
as to love me in spite of everything——
so I never took the trouble to ask you.
And now I don’t have to ask you. I
know! And I’ll be around to see you
after I get that crossing in!”

“You’re perfectly horrid,” she blaz-
ed, and hung up without the formality
of saying good-bye.

CHAPTER XXXIV.

‘HORTLY after Shirley’s departure
S from his office, Bryce had a visit

from Buck Ogilvy. The latter were
a neatly pressed suit of Shepherd plaid
with a white carnation in his lapel, and
he was, apparently, the most light-
hearted young man in Humboldt coun~
ty. He struck an attitude .. and de-
manded:

“Boss, what do you think of my new
suit?”

“You lunatic! Don’t you know red
blonds should never wear light shades?
You’re dressed like a negro niinstrel.’

“Well, I fell as happy as an end—man.
And by the way, you’re chirked up
yourself. Who’s been helping you to
the elixir of life. When we parted last

"No less a divinity than Miss Shirleyi
Stunner! She called this morning to
explain that last night’s fiasco was
none of her making, and quite inno-
cently she imparted the information
that old Pennington lighted out for San.
Francisco at one o’clock this morning.

Uncle. He’s gone to rush a restraining
order through the United States Dis-

trict Court. Wonder why he didn’t wire ,

his attorneys to attend'to the matter
for him."

“He has the crossing blocked, and
inasmuch as the mayor feeds out of
Pennington’s hand, the Colonel is quite
confident that said crossing will re-
main blocked.. As for the restraining
order—well, if one wants a thing well
done, one should do it oneself.”

“All that doesn’t explain your cheer—

“Oh, but it does. I’ve told you about
old Duncan McTavish, Moira’s father,{
haven't I?” Ogilvy nodded, and Bryce:
continued: “When I fired the old
Scoundrel for boozing, it almost brokeI
his heart; he had to leave Humboldt,
where everybody knew him, so he wan,
dered down into Mendocino county and
got a job sticking lumber in the drying-

' yard of the Willits Lumber Company.
He’s been there two months now, and
I am informed by his employer that old
Mac hasn’t taken a drink in all that
time. And what’s more, he isn’t going
to take one again.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I make it my business to
find out. Mac was the finest woods-
boss this county ever knew; hence you
do not assume that I would lose the
old scoundrel without making a fight
for him, do you ? \Vhy, Buck, he’s been
on the Cardigan pay-roll thirty years,‘
and I only fired him in order to reform
him. Well, last week I sent one of
Mao's old friends down to Willits pur-
posely to call on him and invite him.
out ‘t‘or a. time!’ but Mac wouldn‘t
drink with him. No, sir, he couldn’t
be tempted. On the contrary, he told
the tempter that I had promised to
give him back his job it" he remained
on the water wagon for one year; he
was resolved to win back his job and
his self-respect.”

“I knowwvhat your plan is,” Ogilvy
interrupted. “You’re going to ask Dun-
can Mc’l‘avish t0 waylay Pennington
on the road at some point where it
runs through the timber, kidnap him,
and hold him until we have had time
to clear the crossing and cut Penning
ton’s tracks. ‘

“We will do nothing of the sort,"
Buck continued seriously. “Listen, now
to l'ather’s words of Wisdom. This rail-
road-game is an old one to me; I’ve
fought at crossings before now, and
whether successful or defeated, I have
always learned something in battle.
Didn’t you hear me tell that girl and '
her villainous avuncular relative last
night that I had another ace up my
kimono?”

Bryce nodded.

“That was not brag, old dear. I had
the 'ace, and this morning I played it—
wherefore in my heart there is that
peace that passeth understanding—
particularly since I have just had a tel-
egram informing me that my ace took
the odd trick.”

He opened a drawer in'Bryce’s desk
and reached for the cigars he knew
were there.

“Not at all a bad cigar for ten cents. .
However~you will recall that from the
very instant we decided to cut in that
jump-crossing, we commenced to plan
against interference by Pennington; in
consequence we kept, or tried to keep,
our decision a. secret. However, there
existed at all times the possibility that
Pennington might discover our bene-
volent intentions and block us with his

only weeppnv—a' restraining order is-

"hight, yoquere forty; fathoms» deep-«in
the slough of despot: .”

“No lease. divinity than MissShirley;
S'umneri She called this morning to
explain that last night’s fiasco was
none of her making, and quite inno-
cently she imparted the information
that old Pennington lighted out for San
'Francisco at one o’clock this morning.
Wherefore I laugh. ,Te-he! Ha-ha!"

“Three long, loud raucous cheers for
Uncle. He’s gone to rush a restraining
order through the United States Dis-_

trlct Court. Wonder why he didn’t wire ,

his attorneys to attend'to the matter
for him."

“He has the crossing blocked, and
inasmuch as the mayor feeds out of
Pennington’s hand, the Colonel is quite
confident that said crossing will re-
main blocked. As for the restraining
order—well, if one wants a thing well
done, one should do it oneself.”

“All that doesn’t explain your cheer-
ful attitude, though.”

“Oh, but it does. I’ve told you about
old Duncan, McTavish, Moira’s father,
haven’t I?” Ogilvy nodded, and Bryce:
continued: “When I fired the old:
scoundrel for boozing, it almost broke
his heart; he had to leave Humboldt,
where everybody knew him, so he wan-i
dered down into Mendocino county and
got a job sticking lumber in the drying-
yard of the Willits Lumber Company.
He’s been there two months now, and
I am informed by his employer that old
Mac hasn’t taken a drink in all that
time. And what’s more, he isn’t going
to take one again.”

“How do you know ?”

“Because I make it my business to
find out. Mac was the finest woods-
boss this county ever knew; hence you
do not assume that 1 would lose the
old scoundrel without making a fight
for him, do you ? Why, Buck, he’s been
on the Cardigan pay-roll thirty years,
and I only fired him in order to reform
him. Well, last week I sent one of
Mac’s old friends down to Willits pur-
posely to call on him and invite him
out ‘i‘or a. time!’ but Mac wouldn’t
drink with him. No, sir, he couldn’t
be tempted. On the contrary, he told
the tempter that I had promised to
give him back, his job 11' he remained
on the water wagon for one year; he
was resolved to win back his job and
his self-respect.”

“I know what your plan is,” Ogilvy
interrupted. “You’re going to ask Dun-
can McTavish to waylay Pennington
on the road at some point where it
runs through the timber, kidnap him,
and hold him until we have had time
to clear the crossing and cut Penning—
ton’s tracks. ‘

“We will do nothing of the sort,”
‘Buck continued seriously. “Listen, now
to father’s words of wisdom. This rail-
road—game is an old one to me; I’ve
fought at crossings before now, and
whether successful or defeated, I have
always learned something in battle. .
Didn’t you hear me tell that girl and
her villainous avuncular relative last
night that I had another ace up my
kimono?”

Bryce nodded.

“That was not brag, old dear. I had
the 'ace, and this morning I played it—~
wherefore in my heart there is that
peace that passeth understanding—
particularly since I have just had a tel-
egram informing me that my ace took
the odd trick.”

He opened a drawer in Bryce’s desk
and reached for the cigars he knew
were there.

“Not at all a bad cigar for ten cents.
However—you will recall that from the
very instant we decided to cut in that

the Winter. Stop all the rust

that eats away the metal and weak-
ens the working parts. Do away with
warping and decaying of the wooden
parts. It’s pennies for repainting——
or dollars for repairs and replace-
ment. Save the surface and you save
all. If you own some idle implement
——sell it to some one who has use
for it—but paint it first. It will bring
you a better price.

Our Weekly Sermon—By N. ”/1. Mc‘ Cune'

N November second you will have

a solemn religious duty to per-

form. It will be a political duty,
of course, but,it will also be a relig-
ious duty. No man or woman who pre-
tends to do the right thing will fail to
vote, and no man or woman who is a
member of the church and believes in
making right doing as easy as possible
and wrong doing as hard as possible,
will fail to make plans to visit the
polls on that day. Put it this way:
Suppose 'you vote for a man or a num-
ber of men who are known to be hon-
est men and who have a record for
enforcing the law. If they are elected,
conditions for moral and upright liv«
ing will be made better. If moral con-
ditions are good, it will be easier to
rear children in the right way, and
young people will have fewer tempta-
tions. It is a moral obligation to bring
up the next generation in the very
best way possible. And hence it is a
moral obligation to vote for such men
as will help to create a clean and
wholesome atmosphere. That is true
of village politics, county and state
politics, and national politics. One’s
political duties are moral and relig-
ious duties. To be too indifferent to
vote is a crime against the state and
against the moral law. If there could
be a law requiring the disfranchise-
ment of those who have not voted in
the last two elections, say, it would»
awaken some citizens to their obliga-

plant over into a' textile factOry, and”
is employing 'three hundred more work-
ers than formerly. A brewery in To-
ledo which did employ seventy-eight
men is now;r making malted milk and
employs two hundred and seventy-
eight men. A newspaper of Hoboken, 3
New Jersey, states that the number of
ice cream parlors has doubled since »
prohibition became the order of the
day. (That means there must be more
dairy herds, to supply the cream). In
Massachusetts there has been a de-
crease of seventy per cent in the ar-
rests for drunkenness, and in Chicago
the number of accidents per month
has dropped ninety-five per cent. Fig-
ures for Michigan are also available.

Now, if prohibition can work out
these results in so short a time, there
must be something to it. And yet we
have pretty good evidence that strenu—
ous Efforts are being made to elect
congressmen who will enact a. law that
will nullify the eighteenth amendment.
When the American people have spok-
en by an overwhelming majority, and
an amendment has been placed on the”
federal statute books, it would not
seem to be an act of patriotism to at-
tempt to undermine such an act. If
prohibition is a righteous law, and that

MILK PRODUCERS HOLD ANNUAL
‘ MEETING.

 

THE annual meeting of the Michi-
gan -Mi1k Producers’ Association
was held at the Michigan Agricultural
College on Tuesday, October 19. There
was a very good attendance of dairy-
men at the opening session. President
N. P. Hull, in his address on “Present
Problems and How to Meet Them,”
congratulated the membership on the
attendance under ideal weather condi-
tions for pushing the fall work, and
reminded them that while the attend-
ance was not as large as at some of
the previous meetings, this was a testi-
monial to the Work of the organization
through which the members had ac—
complished as much or more than the
dairymen of any other state. without
a strike or other disastrous measures.
He reviewed the present situation, par-
ticularly as regards the condensaries,
summing it up in the statement that
the condensaries use less than five per
cent of the total milk production, and
that if farmers used dairy products as
liberally as they should on their own
farms, this percentage of. production
would be immediately absorbed, and
the surplus problem would be solved.
“VVomen’s Part in a Better Milk
Product,” was the subject of an inter-
esting and instructive address by Mrs.
Dora Stockman, member of the State
Board of Agriculture.

Prof. A. C. Anderson addressed the
dairymen on “Some Things About Milk
Distribution that the Producer Should
Know.”

nity Council Commission? What
is it doing? How does it work?

WHAT is the Michigan Commu-

- What has it done to justify the state

in making the appropriation to carry
on its work?

The commission is‘ composed of
twenty-six members, half of whom the
law says shall be women. It was cre-
ated by an act of the legislature of
1919 to keep alive the community spir-
it born during the war, and Which
leaders in war work thought could be
more useful in days
of peace than in
days of stress. It
is nonl'actional, non- '
partisan, nonsec-
tarian. It’s one big
aim is to get all
the people in the
whole community,
whether rich or
poor, employer or
employs, American
or foreign born,
black or white, to
work together to
further the inter-
ests of their own
particular local
community. It does
not mean one more
organization 0 1'
club, but a central-
ization of all exist-
ing organizations.
If community enter-
prises already ex-

commission, give the sort of help the
community asks. Fifty-seven counties
have. county boards, and in fifteen of
these paid secretaries carry on the
work. The board of supervisors is
empowered to appropriate the 'funds
pay for clerical help and necessary

expenses.

Kent county, where the work is
highly organized and carried on by
a secretary, Miss Genevieve Forsberg,
shOws graphically just what is attempt-
ed and how the work is carried on.

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

    
  

swim. So they got together, dammed
the stream that flows through the com-
munity, built a couple of dressing
rooms, and had a swimming pool that
accommodated two hundred bathers.
The Grandville folks were so proudof
their community enterprise that they
have decided to keep together all win-

ter. They are to have a. community,

club, with a dinner at twelve o’clock
and a program in the afternoon once
every month.

At Rockford there is a brotherhood
which has a dinner every two weeks.
At Comstock Park, the community
'clubs holds month-
ly meetings. In
Kent City the com-
munity activity has

room and a. library.
In Wayland Miss
Vaughn is holding
a class to train lo-
cal workers in con-
ducting neighbor-
hood play, and so
the work goes on.

One of the fea-
tures which pleas-
ed West Michigan
State Fair visitors
was the booth
where information
was given and has
kets, grips and
wraps checked free.
Back of the booth
a playground was
in full swing. This

 

isti, it tries to work
with them. It is
only where there is
no club or other sort of organization
that the commission tries to start
some form of gathering.

The state commission works through
county boards which were provided for
by the same act, and may consist of
six, eight or ten members, one»half of
this board also being women. These
county boards being on the field know
the needs of their own localities. They
in turn appoint councils in neighbor-
hoods desiring to work with the com-
mission, and, acting with the state

The Community Council Playground Attracted Much Attention at the

West Michigan State Fair.

And when you speak of Kent county
you don’t know where to begin, wheth-
er at Lowell, where the work started
with a group of mothers who asked
the commission to send its play di-
rector, Miss Anna Vaughn, to teach
them how to direct playgrounds, or to
talk about the traveling libraries and
help given mothers’ clubs; The work
at Lowell is typical, though, as the av-
erage community wants help with
some form of play. And play is really
the best way to get folks together. As
Miss Vaughn expresses it:

“If you can get folks to play togeth-
er it is an easy to step to get them
to work together. You aren’t half so
apt to quarrel with the folks you’ve
just played with, or to "question their
motives and ask their politics before
you join in any community enterprise
and pull with them.”

So at Lowell, the women felt the
need of play. It is a typical small
town, nothing for the young folks to
do, which mothers are beginning to see
spells mischief. So a group of math
ers asked for training in playground
work. Miss Vaughn went out and held
classes, and as a result a playground
was conducted during the summer, a
different mother taking charge for one
afternoon in the week. Fall days and
school brought an end toxthis, but the
mothers—and children—were so well
pleased that a boys’ club grew out of
it, and .the city fathers~_have allowed:

them the use of'a room in thevcity hall,

st: Granville. tie-ss- wsnted‘~ to

 

 

fulfilled two ob-

jects, it gave a
- place for mothers
to leave children,

and be sure to find them, and showed
visiting small town folks and rural
school boards what they might do in
the way or equipping a playground at
small expense. In Cedar Springs the
Home-School Association have already
planned to raise" $125 for playground
equipment.

The lack of any provision for girls
which is the situation almost every-
where in the county, has appealed to
Miss Forsberg. Boys are taken care
of by the Boy Scouts and other boys'

clubs, but very little has been done in
the? way of club leadership for girls,
especially in rural communities. To
counteract this. a tendays’ course in
girls' club leadership. was held at
Grand Haven in cooperation with the
Camp Fire Girls. Here a number of
young women were taught just how to
organize girls’ clubs and lead them in
work and play. As a result of this
training camp 8. number of rural girls
in Kent county will have some place
to go this winter when big brother
goes to scent meeting.
It is not all play with the commis-
sion, however. There is an education-
al program as well. Communities are
advised on starting traveling libraries,
they are given lists of books which
can be obtained free from the Univer-
sity of Michigan, told where to secure
~ literature for debates, and helped to
secure films for illustrated lectures
and movies. Mothers’ clubs are given
help and furnished lists of books and
outlines of study. Several are now
studying “Play and Education.”

Americanization, study of living con-
ditions with a view to improving the
community, lyceums, forums and de-
bating societies, community plays,
pageants, holiday presentations and
community music, information head-
quarters, these are only a few of the
ways the commission plans to help
through its local councils.

All this work it aims to do through
existing organizations. The object is
not to start something new, but to
strengthen what already exists. If the
neighborhood has a grange, a woman’s
club, a farmers’ club—any sort of com-
munity enterprise, the commission will
not start another organization. Coop~
eration is the thing aimed at, and co—
operation between all the folks in the
community. .

The commission headquarters are
in Grand Rapids, under the direction
of A. N. Farmer. Localities desiring
help 'may write Mr. Farmer, stating
their needs, and information, or state

WOMEN WHO MAY VOTE.

 

In order to vote in Michigan a wom-
an must be:

1. Twenty-one years of age on elec-
tion day.

‘ 2. A resident of Michigan for six
months before election day.

3. A resident of the township, vil-

lage or ward for twenty days preced-
ing election.
' 4. A citizen of the United States,
the wife of a citizen of the United
States or the wife of an inhabitant of
foreign birth, who, having resided in
the state two years and six months
prior to November 8, 1894, declared
his intention to become a citizen of
the United States two years and six
months prior to that date.

What Women Are American Citizens.
. A woman born in the United States
is an American citizen whether or not
her parents are American citizens, but
a United States woman citizen who
marries an alien loses her citizenship
by the marriage and cannot vote. She
can be naturalized by court proceed-

ings. The naturalization of her hus-
band alone will not restore her citizen-
ship, but the death of her alien hus-
band or a divorce from him followed
by a continued residence in the United
States will restore her citizenship. If
she was born outside of the United
States of alien parents, but her par-
ents "became citizens of the United
States before she reached the age of
twenty-one years, then she is a. citizen.

“Hogs should produce one pound of pork for every five pounds
of feed they eat that is equivalent “to corn meal in fat, car-
bohydrates and albuminoid elements. If they do not, their
digestive organs are not functioning properly and need regu-
lating and help. And statistics prove that most hogs have
ailments or worms in some degree.”

Thousands of Hog raisers are making more money; raisin big er

LOur 'Boys’ an

HE members of the live stock

clubs of Lenawee county, Michi-

gan, are developing considerable
business ability along with some very
fine live stock. The boys and girls are
showing a lively interest in club work
this summer and the results have been
particularly good. The business train-
ing involved is certainly one of the
lmost important phases of club work
and too great emphasis cannot be plac-
ed upon it since ideas regarding busi-
ness transactions are often very vague
to boys and girls of club age.

The plan of financing club work is a.
problem in many communities. The
method employed in Lenawee county
has proved very satisfactory to all con-
cerned and the actual business deal-
ings which the boys and girls carry on
are valuable lessons in business train-
ing. Everything is carried on in as
regular a. manner as possible. The
county agent selects the animals, se-
curing the best and most uniform that
can be had, and the farm bureau buys
them. Each boy who takes an animal

gives his note for six months and bear- ’

ing seven per cent interest, to the farm
bureau. This note may be renewed at
the end of the six months if the, club
member desires to continue the proj-
ect. This is especially desirable in the
case of clubs taking breeding animals.

The National Bank of Commerce of
Adrian, through which the farm bureau
does its business, takes over the notes
and deposits them to the credit of the
farm bureaus. In this way the farm
bureau stands back of the notes and
yet the bank provides the funds. Each
boy and girl is also required to pay in-
surance, which teaches another good
business principle. A new plan of co
operative insurance is being worked
out and will be' put into effect this
Winter.

Lenawee county‘is doing its best to
make sure that the farmers of the fu-
ture will be business farmers. The val~
ue of club work will certainly be evi—
dent in better live stock, better busi-
ness farmers, and general agricultural
improvement.

OTHING is troubling this coun-
N try of ours more at the present

time than the tendency to regard
lightly the rights and privileges of cit-
izenship which is displayed by a great
many people. Go wherever we will,
we are apt to hear men and often
women speak slightingly of our form
of government, and especially do they
frequently refer to those who have
been duly elected according to the laws
of the land to exercise authority in be-
littling terms.

This inclination to find fault with
and to criticise the natioinal govern-
ment, and in fact all government and
the officials who represent us in legis-
lative, executive and even judicial de-
partments, is having a demoralizing ef-
fect upon many who have come to us
from other countries. We can scarce-
ly go anywhere that we do not find
some persons of foreign blood. They
are often very near toour homes. They
go to our schools, they mingle with us
in our daily work, some of them are
in our homes, employed in‘ One capa-
city or another. _

And these people are quick to hear
What we say about public men and the
aflairs of state and nation. The boys
and girls are particularly, ready to
watch our own young people and to
imitate them in thought and speech.
If they hear our boys and girls refer-
ring lightly to’ the national, state or

A Big Opportunity-By Uncle Ed

criticising freely the officers whom we
ourselves may have helped to elect,
it will not be long before they, too,
will look with unfriendly eyes upon
our institutions and our men in power.
Not only that, if this goes on we are
apt to find that these young men and
women will come to be voters who re-
gard the ballot more as a. means of de-
stroying government than as a means
of building up and maintaining good
government. So will the peace, the
safety and the well-being of this coun-
try we love so well be undermined.

UST here comes in a most import-
ant privilege on the part of young
folks. They mingle so freely with the
boys and girls of foreign-speaking na—
tions who have come to be with us,‘
that they can have a wonderful influ—

ence upon them for good or for evil. '

They can, and they do, shape the
thought and the action of these new-
comers to a greater extent than do any
other people. Even the teachers in
our schools, intimate as they come to
be with these pupils of the foreign.
blood, do not have the power to mold
the lives of their pupils as do the young
people, with whom they’meet in class-

es, in the home and almost at every, I

NO HARD LUCK STORIES.

  
   
 
   
  
 
 
  
  
   

. OME boys I know of who belong to
~ a boys' club have just met with a
iltle disappointment. They have been
rrowing some, calves and they are good
ones. But when they had their fall
ieeting the other day, bringing their
calves together for exhibition and
sale, the prices offered was not enough
u- pay the cost of raising the calves.
Somehow all bids were too low and
he boys took their calves back home
with them:

It was not the boys’ fault that this
was so. The calves were fine, but
conditions were not as favorable for
making sales as they have been in the
past. But the boys are not a bit dis-
couraged. They have gone back home
with this determination: “We’ll grow
better calves than ever another year,
and we’ll stick to it till we win!”
(‘ould anything be finer than that?
Those boys are bound to win.

CAN THEY KEEP IT UP?

T a county spelling match a few

days ago, the girls beat the boys,
and beat them pretty badly. Now the
question is, can they leep it up? Is
it a fact that as a rule the girls are
better spellers than the boys? The
boys say it, is not, and that it only
happened this time that they failed
to make good. But they have made
up their minds that this shall never
take place again. Another year we will
see some spelling done. But the boys
are not going to have an easy time of
it. So the girls say. If the boys carry
off the prizes, they will have to earn
them. which is all right. I do not be-
lieve any of our young folks want any-
thing which they have not paid for in
good honest toil and effort. So it is
plain that there is going to be some
scrabbling between now and the next
spelling bee. Wouldn’t we all like to

the late estimates casts doubt upon
the (‘anadian estimates which were in-
creased decidedly late in the season.
The move to have the Canadian gov-
ernment control the selling of wheat
as it did last, year has proved fruitless.
Grain is being held by farmers in the
central west. On Tuesday of this week
wheat prices reacted strongly, advanc-
ing around a dime. ,

CORN

Cash corn has dropped to the lowest
figures since 1916. due to the large rc~
ceipts and slow demand. Several mil-
lion bushels of com were. taken for ex-
port by Europe, but it failed to affect
the price very long. Argentine still
has around 90.000000 bushels of corn
available for export but the quantities
shipped from the United States must
be small from necessity, as we have
passed the stage where we send the
grain out. the bulk of the export busi-
ness being in the shape of hog prod-
ucts. The open t’all weather has been
decidedly favorable for corn gathering
and may result in a big early fall move:
ment of new corn. As the crop size
and reduced feeding operations mean
a big surplus to be sent to terminals
which already hold the biggest vis1ble
supply of many years.

OATS

Oat markets continue to reflect the
big crop of feed grains and the ab-
sence of any tendency to buy beyond
immediate needs. The visible supply
has grown to tremendous size and
probably will remain large for several
months. Argentina has an oats surplus
considerably below her average.

SEEDS

The declines in grain caused weak-
ness in the seed markets, both red clo‘
.ver and timothy being lower than a
Week ago, with red clover at the low-
est of the season. Alsike clover seed
advanced. however. Receipts of red
clover Were relatively heavy. Closing
prices were: Toledo.~1920 prime at

that the spring

$12.95: 1910._prime timothy at $3.50;
prime alsike $18.50.

FEEDS

Feed prices have taken an upward

  

slant due to buying by dairymen and
by trade interests who had made sales
for future delivery at higher prices.
The. recent low snot is likely to be the
lowest of the season unless grains 'be-
come materially cheaper. The outlook

does-not. suggest any sharp advance,

BEANS

The recent advance in bean prices
has attracted sales of old beans held
in store while new beans are begin-
ning to appear on the'market. A hope-
ful item is the small Japanese crop
which will reduce the competition
from abroad. The consuming public
continues to buy from hand to mouth.
Michigan farmers are being offered
around $4, with occasional bids 250 to
500 lower at country loading points.

HAY

Western markets for hay advanced
during the past week, although east~
ern points show little change. Reduced
receipts was the chief factor as the
low prices hardly paid the high
freights in the case of the low grades.
Continued open weather has cut down
the season’s requirements which, with
fairly large crops does not make the
outlook for a big advance a flattering
one. Latest prices per ton in carlots
are as follows: Det.l‘0it.**NO. 1 timothy

POTATOES

1,100 cars per day have weakened po-
tato prices both at shipping points and
in consuming markets Declines were

100 to 300 per 100 pounds. Many cars
of immature stock are arriving which
tend to aggravate, trade conditions.

WOOL

,The, latest of the Australian sales of
wool which are playing a big part in
establishing world values were fully
firm on the finer staple wools with Am-
erican buyers taking their share. The
lower grades declined slightly and
withdrawals were 60 per cent. It is
reported that 66-70’s combings were
quotable at $1.15 to $1.20 clean landed
at Boston, based on $3.60 for sterling
exchange with good 64’s staple wool at
$1.04 to $1.09. The market for goods
in this country remains unsettled,
mills are on reduced schedules and us-
ing their old stocks of wool or buying
in small lots only. The change in the
attitude of labor indicated by accept-
ance of wage cuts of 15 to 20 per cent
rather than a shut-down is helpful.
Quotations in this country are

nominal.
BUTTER

Extreme weakness and sharp de-
clines in undergrades cover the butter
market the past week except on Satur-
day, when an advance of two cents
took place. Fancy butter held its own
fairly well as it has done all through
the year because of scarcity. Dealers
had to work hard to make every sale
and owners and shippers suffered
heavy losses. Buyers were afraid'of
the market and some lots had to be
stored because they were unsalable.
Next to storage butter, centralized
cars declined most, falling from 520
last. Friday at Chicago. to 470 this
week. Storage extras sold as low as
520 at Chicago. Closing prices on 92

The total capacity of nineteen of

A these elevators is 310,000 bushels, an

average of 19, 473.

Elevator memberships vary greatly.
Sixteen of the elevators were found to
have 4,246 members, or an average of
two hundred and sixty-five.

Three of these elevators are new and
could not be included in the above fig-
ures as to business of last year. Fit-
teen of them own their own storage
building and the Caledonia and Albion
Cooperative Associations each own
two elevators. The Hastings associa-
tion is building at the present time.
Ypsilanti association expects to build.

The members of the elevator ex-
change are: Union City Cooperative
Company; Caledonia Farmers' Elevat-
or Company; Coopersville Cooperative
Elevator Company; Fowlerville Farm-
ers’ Cooperative Association; Four
Counties’ Cooperative Association;
Sebewaing Cooperative Association;

It has taken seven months to bring
about the organization of the elevator
exchange. The first meeting was held
atSaginaw, March 30, where one hun-
dred and fifty men interested in the
cooperative buying and selling of grain
collected to consider ways and means
of forming a state exchange. James
Nicol, of the State Farm Bureau, was
chairman and C. A. Bingham was act-
ing secretary. The following commit-
tee of seven was appointed to draw up
plans for the establishment of an ex-
change: E. B. Hutchinson, Caledonia;
W. A. Young, Albion; C. W. Benja-
min, Bellevue; J. F. Leech, Chesaning‘;
H. W. Ellis, Albion; James Nicol, of
South Haven. Hale Tennant, M. A. C,
and Dorr D. Buell, general manager
and first president of the Michigan Po-
tato Growers’ Exchange, were asked
to meet with the committee. At an
evening session a constitution and by-
laws, drawn up by this committee,
were discussed and, after everybody
had a pretty clear idea of the nature
of the organization they were starting,
final action was deferred until a later
meeting when the delegates would
come empowered to act.

The actual organization of the ex-
change took place at the next meeting

' . June 29-30, at the M. A. c. One hun-

dred representatives were present.
seventy-six with credentials from farm-
ers’ stock companies or cooperative
elevators. When it came to endorse-
ment of the principles of the newly
born exchange. it was found that only
forty-three had power to act. The plan
to make the exchange a separate cor-

poration was changed at this meeting
to that of a department of the State
Farm Bureau. The constitution dis-
bussed at the previous meeting was
adopted in the form of rules and regu-
lations. The representatives of the

forty-three elevatOrs elected the fol-

lowing board of control: M. S. Shisler.

Elevator Exchange Opens

as its two members on the board Jan
Nicol and Bart D. Buell.

The board of control held a prelim-
inary meeting on July 8, at which
three important motions were carried:
that the membership of the elevators
sell their grains and beans through the
exchange, that they be given the op-
tion on contracting to sell their hay
and straw.

At an organization meeting on July
28, James Nicol was elected chairman
of the board and Dorr D. Buell, secre-
tary and business manager. A con-
tract was adopted and offered to the
local association for signature.

At the August 13 meeting of the
board, Joseph Wickens, a man of
considerable experience in grain buy-
ing was hired as salesman. Dorr D.
Buell died and at the September 12
meeting his brother Thomas, who had
been in charge of the development of
the elevator exchange plans and at
the same time acting as .manager of
the marketing department of the State
Farm Bureau, was elected secretary
and business manager. A provision
was made at the meeting whereby
small associations whose volume of
business did not exceed ten cars per
year could sell through the exchange.
The plan provides that the member-
ships of small associations sign a con-
tract and comply with the rules and
regulations and that their only imme-
diate expense shall be $10 per car ad—
ded to the regular handling charge.
When that fee aggregates the member-
ship fee paid by all elevator member-
ships to the exchange, they will be
granted full membership.

Thomas B. Buell, secretary and man-
ager of the exchange department, is
well known to the farmers of this
state, both through his own activities
in farm organization matters and
through his association with his broth-
er, Dorr, who was an acknowledged
leader in farm organization.

Thomas Buell was born on July 30,
1880, on a farm near Union City, which
had remained in the possession of the
family since 1836, having been secured
direct from the government. He at-
tended high school in Union City,
where he graduated as valedictorian
in 1897. In 1902 he completed a liter-
ary and business course at the Uni-
versity of Michigan He also took two
years’ post graduate work in economics
and business administration. The sum-
mer of 1900 was spent in travel in Eu-
rope. In the last few years he has
had experience with several enterpris-
es, among them work in the office of
the Peabody Coal Company, of Chica-
go. In 1906 he married and began
farming on the home farm near Union
City, where his main interests have

been centered until this summer, when ‘

he came to the State Farm Bureau.
Buell has intimate knowledge of coop-
erative problems, a broad technical ed-
ucation and an experience of many
years in active farming.

The board of control of the exchange
was elected from among the most ex-
perienced, capable and conscientious
farmers of the state. James Nicol,
chairman of the board, is one of the
first organizers and a member of the
board of directors of the South Haven
Fruit Exchange, the most successful
of the kind organized in the state, one
which has been able to sell apples at
premium prices. Before coming to
Michigan, Nicol had twenty years’ ex-
perience in the grain business in Chi-
cago. Nicol is president. of the Alle-
gan County Farm Bureau. '

M. S. Shisler is a business farmer
of Kent county. who represented that
county at the annual meeting of the
State Farm Bureau. He was one of
the organizers and the firstp /resident
of the Caledonia Elevator Association,

 

Carl Martin, of Coldwater, is best
known through his feat of building the
Goldwater Cooperative Company from

a loose organization to a business” of to.-

n million dollars. He has had experi-
ence in the Branch County Savings
Bank, and holds the good will of thou-
sands of farmers.

As member of the board of supervis-
ors of Van Buren county, Waldo Phil-
lips, introduced more beneficial reso-
lutions than any other supervisor in
the history of the county. He is presi-

dent and manager of the Decatur 00-.

operative Elevator, a corporation
which does all the elevator business of
that territory and operates a flour mill
in addition. Also he is president of
the Van Buren County Farm Bureau.

Jacob Landis is best known for the
reason that he conducted the business
'of the Stockwell Cooperative Associa-
tion, one of the largest in northern
Michigan with the greatest economy
of any association in the exchange. A
report of the auditors shows that he
conducted the business on a cost of
one and one-fourth per cent. Landis
also operates one of the largest farms
in Mason county.

Whitney Watkins is a member of
the state board of agriculture, member
of the board of directors of Manchester
elevator and is interested in many

large enterprises throughout the state.

He operates a farm of two thousand
acres in Jackson county.
