CURRENT COMMENT


NUMBER '1“th Y-F OUI:


HERE is a very


- general feeling

Gram among the farmers of

Market the middle west that

Futures the speculative trad-


ing in g1ain market


tutuies has been an impo1tant contlib-

uting lacto1 in the spectacula1 decline

of cereal grains during recent months.

In response to that feeling bills will

be introduced in congress to prohibit

this speculative trading in grains for

future delivery, of which only a mere

fraction is ever delivered or intended

to be delivered.


Trading in grain futures is merely a

method of betting on the future mar-

ket price of the commodities bought

or sold, and there is a strong feeling

among growers of the product that

"these bets have a marked inﬂuence on

the spot market for grains. It is even

charged that agents of foreign govern

ments who are interested in our grain

products have been able to hear our

grain market through systematic op-

erations in grain futures.


Naturally, grain merchants and mill-

ers are opposed to the prohibition of

speculation in grain futures. This op-

position is based on the theory that

the sale of futures enables them to

“hedge” on their purchases in a man-

ner to insure them against loss dur-

ing the process of merchandising or

milling the grain. Manifestly such in-

surance must be carried by one or both

of two classes, viz., professional gamb-

lers who make a business of trading

in futures, and private citizens who be

come obsessed with the idea that they

can beat the game.


It is a sound business axiom that in-

surance costs money. Sumebody must

pay the premiums and the losses which

accrue. In the long run the producers

and consumers of any commodity must

bear the cost of insurance against loss


. in manufacturing and merchandising

any product. In the case of cereal

grains the point at issue is whethei

the cost is excessive. There is a very

general belief on the part of grain


. growers that when every bushel of

their wheat is bought and sold for fu-

ture delivery perhaps a score of times

and when more com is sold on this

basis in a month than is grown in a

year, the cost is excessive, and that

much if not most of it comes out of

the grower in a lower price for his

grain.


The congressional hearings which

will follow the introduction of hills to

prohibit trading in grain futures will

be most interesting, and not the least

interesting feature will be the ﬁnd-

ing at the federal trade commission,

gwhich' has made an exhaustive investi-‘

ﬁxation and study of grain marketing

The result will be

interesting if not ﬁnal, since ~the prop-

osition will undoubtedly receive more

serious consideration in congress than

it has ever before been given. And if

the result does not appeal to grain

producers as economically scund, the

chances are that it will not be' ﬁnal.

It will rather tend to hasten the better

states of the country.


Carl Johnson, of Ironwood; Walter

Michigan in competition with the best


junior judging teams in America, were

placed second. First honors went to

the state of Georgia, the southerners

leading Michigan’s sons by only a very

narrow margin. Iowa was third, Indi-

ana fourth, and Illinois ﬁfth in team

ranking.


The class in- which the boys compet-

ed was known as the “Non—Collegiate

Judging Event,” and was open to boys

below the college class. Michigan’s

team represented the Boys’ and Girls’

Clubs of the state, the boys receiving

their training under the club leaders

of the Extension Staff iof the M. A. c.

W. A. Anderson, the state leader of

live stock clubs, accompanied the boys

to Chicago.


It is to be hoped that the achieve-

carried the banner of Michigan, may

inspire in the minds of those who know

not yet the lure of pedigree stock

breeding, some realization of what

they are missing by not knowing some

of the ﬁne points of animal selection

and perfection. The editors of the

Michigan Farmer wish to congratulate

Carl Johnso Walter Ball and Rex

Stow, and s cerely hope that they

may live and own good stock of their

own where they may ﬁnd one of their

chief delights of life in bringing home

still further honors to old Michigan.

,Washington with a well-deﬁned con-


viction that “emergency remedial legis-

lation for the relief of the farmers

should be enacted‘at the earliest pos-

Never before in the

history of the nation, it is asserted, has

the attention of congress been so cen-

tered upon the needsof agriculture as

at the present time." The representa-

tives of several'large farmer organiza~

tions have already presented their de-

mands which it is believed congress

will not ignore. It is also true that

not in a long time has the farmer had

more active or inﬂuential friends in

both branches of congress than at the

present time. These senators and rep-

resentatives are largely from the mid-

dle west. ‘


Senator Capper, of Kansas, is deeply

impressed'with the extremely critical

sitation in the middle west, where


“‘there is a vague, ugly feeling among


farmers over the violent ﬂuctuations in

prices of farm products which they

feel is not entirely due to the law of

supply and demand." Senator Capper

would like to see an immediate em-

bargo placed on wheat. The next best

thing, in his opinion, would be a tariff

on wheat and other grain just as soon

as a bill could be enacted. A move


will be made to put a tariff on wheat,.


but there is a danger that it will be

taken up in the general tariff bill,

which will require much time‘to pre-

pare and enact, thereby postponing ac-

tion on wheat so badly needed in the

present emergency. The Kansas sen-

ator stands for a protective tariff on

all farm products—wheat, corn, hogs

and cattlewwhich now compete in our

home markets with similar products

coming from Canada, Argentine, Den~

mark and other countries.


A bill to prohibit gambling in the

grain exchanges on future deliveries

of farmproducts, will be introduced

by Senator Capper at an early date.

"I am not advocating doing away with

the exchanges, and their legitimate ac.

tivities; what I am after is to stop

gambling in farm products," he says.

“Immediately after the openinglast

which had been closed during the war.

prices of farm products began to ﬂuc-

tuate violently with bears in control,

forcing the market downward and un-

doubtedly exerting a great inﬂuence

in depressing prices.”


It is proposed by Senator Capper

to restrict trading in farm products to

those who are dealing in a legitimate

way. His bill will put a taxon all con-

tracts except those made by produc-

ers or dealers engaged in actual sell-

ing and milling of wheat, and will pro~

hibit all transactions not bonaﬁde.

who will take a leading part in this

movement.


All the farmer organizations are giv-

ing much attention to rural credits and


in this way they have the active Sup-'


port of several senators and congress-

men. One of the plans proposed is the

amendment of the federal farm loan

act to give the farmers better credit

Another proposal is the es-

tablishment of a system of warehouses

whereby the receipts of products in

storage may be made negotiable.


The McFadden. rural credit bill,

which was introduced in the house last

spring and has attracted much com-

ment, both favorable and adverse, has

made considerable progress, and its

friends are conﬁdent of its success.

But they are willing to accept any re-

visions that may be effective in pro-

viding the farmers the necessary

credits. Dr. Jacob H. Hollander, of

Johns Hopkins University, has inform-

ed Mr. McFadden that he will be glad

to help in perfecting a rural credit bill,


judicial hearings on the bill. It is prob-

able that Dr. Hollander will be em

ployed as monetaryadvisor of the com-

mittee during the hearings.


There seems to be a real danger

that a ﬂood of foreign wool will be

dumped into American markets. The

appreciation of the American dollar

has been such as virtually to place an

export bounty of about thirty per cent

on wools exported to the United States

from other countries. The wool pro-

duced in the United States since the

Underwood tariff law went into effect,

has been unprotected, and now it is at

a disadvantage of thirty per cent in

comparison with imported wools.


QUESTION of considerable im-


portance which will come before

congress at an early date is that of re-

moving the tax exemptions from fu-

ture issues of all securities. Certain

interests, including the Farm Mort-

gage Bankers’ Association, are advo—

cating the removal of the tax exemp—


tion from farm loan bonds. “It is

enough to make the ordinary friend of

agriculture tremble when he contem-

plates what may happen to the farm

loan act in congress, with the provis-

ions of the law and its purposes and

beneﬁts that have been derived under

it, little understood by many members

of that distinguished body,” says a

man who- is in close touch with the

subject. “I cannot escape a feeling

that those who are charged with re.-

sponsibility for the administration of

the law and those entrusted with the

management of the farm loan system

land banks have failed utterly to com-

prehend the necessity for supplying

the public with full information as to

its interest in the farm loan system..


“This law came into existence in its

present form as a compromise between

two opposing factions which had been

snapping and snarling at each other

for more than a year, each proclaiming

itself the friend of agriculture and

each assuming to know the practical

side of long-time rural credits. Now

the compromise is rejected by the

group which proposed it, and a power-

ful element is advocating some radical

changes in the law. Developments in

the last session of congress indicated

that there is danger that the present

disordered condition may result in a

smash-up for the entire system. If

such a calamity comes, it will come

nor because of any weakness in the

farm loan act, and not because of fail-

ures in the functioning of the farm

loan system, but because congress and

the people have not been informed as

to the beneﬁts of the system.


RGANIZED labor is occupying

much of the lime-light just now.

The leaders are preparing to concen-

trate their efforts upon two things—-

exclusion of immigration for at least

one year, and opposition to the open

shop. The labor people are not only

backed by the bureau of immigration

in their demand for the exclusion of

immigration, but Chairman Albert

Johnson of the house committee on im-

migration, is quoted as saying that “if

a bill is not passed by congress before

March 4, it will be necessary to sus-

pend immigration until formal action

can be taken by the bureau.” “Unless

the present rush of immigration is

checked,” says Representative John-

son, “there is every indication that the

ﬁscal year 1921 will record a total im-

migration more than twice as great as

in any year heretofore.” It is shown

by ofﬁcial emigration ﬁgures that six

hundred thousand persons have left

Italy within the past year. at least one

third having come to the United States.

Senator Thomas Sterling will pro-

pose early this session the creation of

a federal immigration board to pass

upon questions relating to immigra-'

tion, including the number of immi-

grants that shall be admitted into this

country. The conditions in Europe,

and the fact that immigrants are seek-

illg to enter the United States in num-

bers that cannot be readily assimilat-

ed,” he says, “make restrictions nec-

essary.” There are two fundamental

reasons for restriction of'immigration,

pointed out by Senator Sterling. The

ﬁrst is the labor situation. The second

is the exclusion of radical elements.

Michigan crops have long known


that the good soil and climate

of Michigan could produce grains and

seed of surprisingly good quality, as

compared with other states. There is

much satisfaction, however, in proving

the superior value of adapted Michi‘

gan products in comparison with other

states and Canada. Michigan folks can

feel justly proud of the record of the

state at the second annual Grain and

Hay Show, held at Chicago, November

26 to December 4. Brieﬂy stated, Mich<

igan farmers brought home the follow-

ing “scalps:"


First place in corn; ﬁrst twenty-two

places in rye; twenty-seven of the thir-

ty prizes offered for rye; eleven of the

ﬁrst fourteen offered for soft red win-

ter wheat; second, third, and ﬁfth priz-

es in clover hay; ﬁfteen in alfalfa;

second in timothy, and a good repre-

sentation in many other classes.


First Twenty-two in Rye.


It was certainly a most unusual sight

'to notice the unbroken array of excel<

lent Rosen rye entries, bearing Michi-

gan Crop Improvement Association

tags, and carrying away all awards

from the ﬁrst to the twenty-second. It

is doubtful as to whether any state

has ever made such a record at a Na-

tional Grain Exhibit in any class, and

may not have surpassed all pre-

ceding exhibitions but only the most

discriminating observer could discover

the fact. Accommodations for displays,

animate and inanimate, were comfort-

ably ﬁlled and attendance was liberal.

The unsatisfactory market condi‘

tions which have affected sales of

pure-bred live stock of all kinds result

ed in an undertone of gossip of an en-

tirely different character from that re.

cently prevalent. Low sale averages

and losses due to depreciation in the

‘ I 'HE Red Rock wheat again caused

dispute in regard to classiﬁcation.


Many who entered wheat from other


states in the soft red winter class pro-

tested against the placing of Red Rock

in that class and thought it should'be

placed with hard red winter wheats.

The matter was ﬁnally put up to a

grain dealer in Chicago who buys more

wheat than any other buyer. After

looking carefully at this red wheat,

he stated shortly, “Soft red winter

wheat, but I would pay two cents more

a bushel for it.” Mr. Phillips, of the

Board of Reviews of the United States

Department of Grain Standardization,

oﬂiCially ruled it to be soft red winter

wheat. Plant Breeder F. A. Spragg

can feel highly complimented on devel-

oping a variety, for growing in a soft

red winter district of such hardness

and excellent milling quality.


Vi’hile Michigan did not take ﬁrst

in soft red winter wheat, nevertheless

the second place (thirty-dollar prize)

was secured by Mr. C. D. Finkbeiner,

of Clinton, with a remarkably good en-

try. In addition to second, Michigan

ROM a briar patch to a great tract

Fof highly productive land, is the

history of the Morgan orchards,

situated on the hills just west of Trav-

erse City, Michigan, and famousvfor

the quality and quantity of its cherries.

From these orchards the 1920 cherry

crop exceeded twelve carloads, or

more than eight thousand crates, a

very fair showing for forty acres of

‘ cherries, and this is due largely to the

modern methods of fertilization, pol-

lenization, cultivation and spraying in

usage by T. B. Morgan, present man-

ager of the estate,

'Overlooking beautiful Traverse Bay

from its hills, this farm was nothing

but a “briar patch” thirty-ﬁve years


that others have been led to extensive

cherry growing, although the orchards

he planted remain about the largest in

the county. He was a pioneer in an-

other way, likewise, for he was among

the ﬁrst to settle in the little village

at the head of Traverse Bay, “VVe-

Que¥Tong,” as the Indians called it.


Born in 1846 in Carlisle, Ohio, he

came as a boy pf sixteen to Traverse

City where he remained until his death,

July 22, 1910. Mrs. Morgan, who was

a daughter of James K. Gunton, was

one of the ﬁrst white children born in

the village, and has lived all her life

upOn the same block where the family

home is situated.


The orchards were started about

1880, Theron B. Morgan, son of Mr.

and Mrs. J. B. Morgan having been

manager of the estate during the past

ten years. The success of the cherry

, business, Mr. Morgan believes, is due

to the system of pollenization which

he has used for several years. About

ﬁfty sets of bees were used in 1919

and double that number will be placed

in the orchards this coming spring.


Vt‘inds cannot always be depended

upon, and cold rainy weather is bad

for the cherries, but with bees, a good

crop of fruit is assured, and this has

been tried with success in many local—

ities. Traverse City soil is very sandy

and orchards need constant attention.

Cover crops are put in just as soon-

as the cherries are out of the way in

August, and these supply the needed

elements to the soil. Oats, vetch and

other crops are used in the Morgan

orchards by William M. Pickel, farm

manager, and these, with the bees and

the spraying have brought the Morgan

cherries to their present height of per-

perfection.


A day in the orchards during cherry

picking time is like a visit to a gypsy

camp and a packing house combined.

First comes the drive in the early

morning from Traverse City along the

shore of the bay and around a curve


packing them ready for the boys to

nail them up.


Down the endless rows of cherry

trees come girls, boys, women and

men, all with heaping pails of fruit.

These are turned in at the checking

table and the picker’s card is punched

for each pail, which holds four quarts.

For each crate, a check is given and

these are cashed twice each week,

some of the cherry pickers making as

much as $6.50 a day. .


Among the two hundred pickets who

round up the crop at the Morgan 01“

chards, are country girls and boys, col-

lege students, Indians and parties

‘from Traverse City and other locali-

ties, and out of the lot, there are about

seventy-ﬁve ﬁrst-class, experienced

pickers.


The orchards hum like a giant bee

hive. From all directions comes the

call, “ladder mover!" as the workers

on one tree ﬁnish their job and move

on to another location. Hundreds of

ladders are used, from the small one

to the largest size. queer ladders which

come to a point at the top like snow-

shoes, and which have adjustable legs

or supports.


Girls in overalls, girls in skirts and

girls in gingham dresses and sunbon-

nets were perched everywhere high on

ladders, ﬁlling pails with cherries and

calling to each other with laughing

voices. Some of the cherry pickers

camp near the orchards, others walk

from their homes within a radius of

three miles, and others are brought in

truckloads from a central starting

point in Traverse City.


They furnish their own shears for

clipping 'the fruit, and bring their

lunches. An experiment, more or less

successful, which was tried some time

ago by Mr. Morgan, was the establish-

ing of a camp cooking outﬁt where the of many pears. That the apple busi- .

workers could get sandwiches, “hot ness is likewise successful is proved _

Mr. Morgan accomplished it and suc-

He did not think of cherries in those

This venture was such a success

Vital statistics are to the health ofli

cer and physician what charts and

compass are to the sailor. The regis-

tering of births and deaths form the

basis to intelligently combat disease.

First, in order to fight a disease physi.

cians and public health ofﬁcials must

ﬁrst know where it exists and what

trend it has taken in former years,

For example: A few years ago the

typhoid fever death rate in Ford vil-

lage near Detroit reached the propor~

tions of one death to every twenty-

three families. Detroit at the same

time had a typhoid fever death rate of

but one to every 666 families. Armed

with these statistics a sanitary survey

was made and it: was found that the

cooperating with local physicians and

health oﬂicers, took cultures from the

throats of 6.500 school children in the

county in an attempt to ﬁnd those who

were capable of carrying the disease

and starting epidemics. Thirty-five

children were found who harbored the

virulent germs of diphtheria. in their

mouths and throats, though not in dan-

ger of contracting the disease them-

selves. By isolating these patients un-

til their throats cleared up. thirty-ﬁve

possible sources of diphtheria out.-

breaks were avoided. This is simply

another instance of the follow-up work

made possible by the keeping of vital


statistics.


Registration of births and deaths is

one of the duties of every civilized

government and is of importance not

only to the individuals themselves but

also to the entire public. Questions

of parentage, heredity. legitimacy. fam-

ily identity, property rights, inherit-

ance, and citizenship are. decided by

such records. No child labor law can

,be of any value unless it rests upon

a system of birth registration and oi

certiﬁcates which the child or parent

can present at any time as positive

proof of time of birth and of paternity.


Many interesting cases are recorded

where birth certiﬁcates were absolute-

ly necessary in the affairs of some per-

son and yet were lacking. Let us cite

two cases of this nature: Alice, a. girl

of twenty-four, without family, was

living in California when a distant rel-

ative died and left her heir to several

hundred thousand dollars. In order to

come into her inheritance it was nec-

essary to prove her identity as an hair

at law. Her birth was not recorded

in the county where she was born, and

for a long time no one could be found

to establish the time of her birth. Nat-

urally the papers made much of the

case. Finally an old acquaintance of

her family chanced to read an account

of the story and was able to establish

her identity.

" ~Again: An Irish family, composed

of father, mother, and son, went back

«to Ireland fora visit. At the end of


few months the parents decided to


remain there, but the son wished to

complete his education in the United


States where he‘had been born. But


on arriving at Ellis Island authorities

detained him because he could show

no record of birth in America. A


- search was made in his home county


for record of birth registration. None

could be found. Finally, at the end of

several necks he was permitted to re-

enter the land of his birth after friends

had established the time and place of

his birth by baptismal records.

In order to make any fair compau

State Farm Bureaus by December I

The number this summer was thirty

three.


Ohio has reached the 42,000 mark in

its farm bureau membership campaign.

It is working on a ten dollar a year

basis, the same as Michigan. There

has been a very notable trend in re-

cent months to make the membership

fee in all states not less than ﬁve dol

lars and the ten dollar membership is

the most popular.

EW realize that Uncle Sam oper-


ates and owns the World’s largest


specialized farm, located in Alex-

andria county, Virginia, including four

hundred acres of the most fertile land

to be found in this country, if not the

world. Here the Bureau of Plant In-

dustry of the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture carry on plant ex-

periments resulting in larger produc-

tion of essential feeds, as well as

create new methods against enemy

plant diseases. The farm is better

known as the Arlington Experiment

Farm. \


Last season forty branches of the

bureau carried on various plantex-

periments on this farm, each test be-

ing carried on a special plot of ground.

in one garden some two hundred vari-

eties of lettuce were wacthed, that the

best all~around variety might be dis-

covered. . Then there were seventy va-

rieties of sweet potatoes in another

competition. The best commercial

sweet potatoes grown in the United

States are not dependable yielders, and.

the farmer may toil all sum-

mer long, only to learn that

he has a crop of stringy

roots. The sweet potato

plot was planted with a View

of discovering a potato va-

riety dependable, and the

scientists hope to select a

variety that will add ﬁfty

bushels per acre to our

’present crop, which will be

an enormous increase over

our normal production

considering that we rDOW'

crop more than two million

acres to this potato.


Hosts of strangers arrive

at the large farm each sea-

SOn from Europe, Asia and

South Africa, as well as the

islands of the sea. In fact,

new plant varieties come

here annually from every

part of the world, either in

the form of cuttings or

seeds. It is here that mar-

riages take place to add to

the number .of bushels per

acre, and these would be

called romantic, if humans

are concerned, as was the

love affair of Romeo and

Juliet. In one particular

case the Romeo is a Siber-

ian wheat of superb north-

ern vigor, built up through

centuries of resistance to

extreme cold. Juliet is of

our own west, of a strain

famous for its golden abund-

ance, but for all her beauty,

susceptible to cold with

kinsfolk who have perished

on the bleak western prai-

ries by the thousand. \Vh'at

is ‘wanted, therefore—to in‘

crease our yield of wheat per acre——

is a progeny which shall combine Rom-

eo’s hardihood and Juliet’s abundance.


Thus the marriage takes place, with

a chief scientist as the best man and

other scientists as the ushers. The

time set for the ceremony is an ideal

one as any human bride could wish,

since it is in the -midst of the bloom

season. Juliet’s bridal toilet has one

peculiarity, though. The ends of the

stamens are cut off, and the pollen

from the Romeo bloom is sprinkled in

its place.


The cost of such a marriage is some-

times considerable. In the develop-

ment of certainvarieties of grain the

expense of the mating, including the

succeeding tests, has amounted to as

much as $10, 000.‘ ‘On account of the


heavy outlay the ﬁrst offspring of Rom-

to give the cultivator room to move

the Siberian and the American, and

the sides are also inclosed by the net-

ting.


The Arlington Experiment Farm has

ﬁfteen hundred different grain seeds.

In the fruit section there are seven

hundred varieties of apples, one hun-

dred of grapes, and one hundred of

peaches. In the ﬂower section, to men-

tion two kinds, are found eight hun-

dred varieties of roses and four hun-

dred of peonies.


Each year the supply of tomatoes,

and consequently the price, has been

affected by the tomato wilt, a myste-

rious disease which has swept over

whole states especially devoted to the

cultivation of this crop. In Georgia,

for example, in 1918, the losses report-

ed from this cause were ﬁfty percent

of the entire crop; Virginia’s crop was


of varieties, a better seed, or by ﬁnd—

ing a cure for a disease which is mak-

ing heavy ravages in existing excellent

varieties. In the new tomato plant the

scientists’ plan of campaign is well

illustrated. Cures were sought for the

tomato wilt. This involved a long and

exact process. First the tomato wilt

germ must be found and isolated. This

called for patient laboratory work at

the large plant of the bureau of plants

in the Washington headquarters of the

department of agriculture. There was

one infallible proof—that the germ

would produce the wilt in a healthy

plant. This done, efforts were then

made to control it by chemical sprays.


Sometimes success is complete in

such experiments, as when a few years

ago the bureau discovered a lime-sul~

phur mixture which would destroy or-

chard scale of the most malignant. type,

a pest that ruins not only the life of

the tree if unchecked, saps the life out

the interest of food production in the

United States, was mated to an aris-

tocrat; and after several years of pro-


gressive experimenting with the pro-.


geny the scientists of the plant bureau

think they are safe in announcing a

wilt-proof tomato.


Plant breeding is but one of a. group

of experiments carried on at the Ar-

lington Experiment Farm. Soils from

various states are tested here, not'by

the chemist, but where they can be

watched continuously in open—air en-

vironment. The soil as it comes from

the different states is placed in stone

cylinders, in layers, just as it was tak-

en from the ground. The plant is

grown in the cylinder. set upright in

the ground. Records are kept of each

test, and the ﬁnal test shows what

each soil needs in the way of fertilizer

to make it produce the best results.

These records are completed for lead-

ing varieties of crops.


A' row of laboratories is part of the

equipment of the farm. One of these

is presently conducting experiments

in the prevvntion of waste

farm crops.

On the Arlington Experiment Farm

so that the fruit crop is ruined. But

in this case no cure was found for the

tomato wilt. Therefore the other line

of attack was adopted. A plant was

found which would resist .the disease.

At length, after hunting far and wide,

a tomato plant was found that would

not take the blight no matter how ex—

posed.


But success was yet a longr way off,

for this particular plant yielded a small

for planting was taken from a portion


of the ﬁeld- where soil conditions were


uniform. This two-acre plot was di '


videdinto four areas, which for sim-

plicity will be called ﬁeld “A,” “B."

"C,” and “D."


Field A was treated with Bordeaux

mixture in the proportion of four

pounds of lime, four pounds of copper

sulphate, and ﬁfty‘ gallons of water,

(4-4-50). Field B was treated with

Bordeaux mixture ,(4—6-50). Field C

was treated with nicotine sulphate

(black leaf forty) in the proportions

of 1-800. Field D was left as a check

plot.


Arsenate of lead was added to the

ﬁrst and third sprays to control the

bugs and was also used on the check

plot so as to make the experiment one

of leaf hopper control only.


Spraying operations began when the

potatoes were about six inches high,

and an application applied about ev-

ery two weeks thereafter, weather per-


‘ mitting. The-leaf hopper put in an


appearance about the third week in


, June and tip-burn began to show a


few days later on the check plot, ﬁeld

steadily worse for about four weeks,

at which time not a green leaf or stock

remained.

Field C, treated with nicotine sul-

phate, had a much healthier green col-


or throughout the summer than did -


the ﬁeld sprayed with 4-6-50 Bordeaux.


The ﬁeld of potatoes in. ﬁeld A was

ﬁfty-one bushels, half of which were

just about marketable size; field B

eighty bushels, nearly all marketable

size; ﬁeld 0 eighty-two bushels, nearly

all marketable size; ﬁeld D thirty-

three bushels, a few of which were of

marketable size, showing that the rela-

tive yield is in accordance with the

damage done by the leaf hopper.


It should also be kept in mind that

these potatoes were grown on a very

sandy loam, ani‘actor which will ac-

count for the comparatively low yield

for upper peninsula conditions.


The above results seem to indicate

that 4-660 Bordeaux is quite as effec

tive as nicotine sulphate. It should

be kept in mind, however, that the

lime in the Bordeaux mixture acts as

a repellant to the hopper, while the

nicotine sulphate is a contact spray,

namely, one that must strike the in-

sect before it will kill. Due to the

fact that the lime in the Bordeaux

acted as a repellant, many of the leaf

hoppers likely left the ﬁeld and went

to the check plot, a factor which would

increase the injury done in the check

plot, over the leaf hopper under ordi-

nary conditions. The addition of this

small amount of lime to the 4-6—50

Bordeaux pays for itself many times

over, and‘ it seems that if the lime acts

as a repellant, it might be a wise

move to use 4-8, or even 4-10—50 in

spraying for the hopper.


The experiments seem to indicate

that the sprays applied about three

days after the ﬁrst appearance of the

leaf hopper and about two weeks

thereafter were the most effective, and

it is believed that if a. Bordeaux mix

ture of 4-8-50, together with nicotine1

sulphate 1—800, and arsenate of lead to

kill the bugs were applied at about this

time, the ravages of the pest would


likely be kept well under control. This

same treatment would hold true if 'a

second. brood of leaf hoppers appeared.


. Another feature of the, experiment]


N 1913 (when there were 1,009,000 auto-

mobiles ‘in the United States) oil pro-

ducers drilled about 25,000 wells. The


average paid for crude was 95¢ per barrel.


In 1914 producers had a little discouragement.

The price for crude oil fell off to 810 average,

and they drilled only 23,000 Wells. These

wells, however, proved exceptionally proliﬁc

and crude prices dropped to an average of

64¢ a barrel (40c in the Mid-Continent ﬁeld).

As a consequence of the over-production, the

bottom dropped out of the gasoline market

and low prices prevailed.


The low prices of crude made exploration of

new ﬁelds unproﬁtable, and in 1915 only

14,000 wells were drilled. This halt in produc-

tion enabled demand to creep up on supply,

and caused crude to advance until it reached

$1.10 per barrel. ‘ "


Encouraged by the better prices offered, pro-

ducers put down 24,000 wells in 1916. The

unprecedented demand aroused by the war

caused petroleum prices to soar, and, notwith-

standing the activities in the producing ﬁeld,

prices have continued to advance because de-

mand exceeded supply.


In August, 1920, the number of new oil wells

brought in for that month alone was 3,513—

the highest oil production mark in the history

of the United States. Yet so great was de-

mand that Mid-Continent crude stood ﬁrm at

$3.50, and Pennsylvania crude at $6.10 per

barrel, the present prevailing prices.


The market price for crude is not apt to go

off appreciably while demand continues to in-

crease as during 1920. '


Since 1913 the number of motor vehicles in

the United States has increased to approxi-

mately 7,459,607, and the forecast for 1921 is

10 million motor vehicles in the United States.


The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is strain-

ing every ﬁbre and sinew of its highly special-

ized organization to increase the yield of

gasoline from crude petroleum.


How well it is succeeding is indicated by the

fact that an eminent authority states that the

Burton process, originating in the laboratories

of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), has

produced 40 million barrels of gasoline from

heavy distillates, and has thus saved approxi-

mately 150 million barrels of crude oil that

would otherwise have been necessary to ’pro-

duce an equivalent amount of gasoline.

HE. semi-centennial meeting of


I the Michigan State Horticultural


Society opened at the Hotel

Pantlind, Grand Rapids, Tuesday

morning, November 30. The attend-

ance at. the morning session was rath~

er light, but later trains brought in

fruit growers from all parts of the

state until the interests were repre-

sented, both commer'cial and sceintiﬁc

growers being present.


President James Nicol, of South

Haven, presided at the ﬁrst session.

which was largely given up to a round

table discussion of the past season.

C. H. Connors, of Brunswick, N. J.,

gave an address Tuesday afternoon on

“Peach Breeding.”


“The ﬁrst peach pit was planted in

Michigan near St. Joseph in 1775, and

from that planting sprang a large num-

ber of orchards, with the ﬁrst record

of budded varieties in Michigan in

1834,” Mr. Connors told the members.

The older'val'ieties of peaches have

almost disappeared because of the ad.

Vth of more recently introduced va~

rieties,” he continued.


“The new peaches are really inferior

in quality, but are superior in adapta-

bility to various conditions under

which they must be grown, are hardier

in bud and are able to, stand shipping

for long distances in better shape. But

even these new varieties are lacking

in some of the elements that would go

to make up an ideal commercial peach,

so we are trying to improve them. Up

to 1850 most of the peaches were rais-

ed from seed alone, but about that

time the varieties were largely propa-

gated by budding. We now have 2,181

varieties of peaches described by

name.”


The other, speaker, Professor C. P.

Halligan, of the Michigan Agricultural

College, said in part: “While we may

have every reason to expect that this

combination of marketng conditions

will never again be so adverse, we do

not have good reason to believe that

the same conditions will not obtain

to a certain extent when the trees

have stored up enough energy to pro-

duce another bumper crop. We may

expect light crops for the next year or

two, but the time is sure to come when

we will face the problem of market-

ing a bumper crop.”


At the morning session Wednesday,

George W. Hawley, of Hart, was elect-

ed unanimously to the presidency of

the Michigan State Horticultural So-

ciety. Mr. Hawley is the retiring vice-


James Nicol, of South Haven, as pres~

ident.


Other ofﬁcers chosen were: Secre-

tary, T. A. Farrand, of Eaton Rapids;

treasurer, J. Pomeroy Munson, Grand

Rapids. C. P. Halligan, of East Lan-

sing, E. J. VerDuyn, of Novi, and Rob

ert A. Anderson, of Covert, were elect‘

ed to the executive board.


In the Michigan Agricultural College

senior speaking contest, held" in con‘

nection with the State Horticultural

Society meeting, A. R. Delamarter, ol’

Cheboygan, won ﬁrst prize. His sub-

Other

prize winners were: Second, N. R. Carr

seems to be the most practical method

to pursue so far as cost is concerned,—.

but if everyone in the

planted their potatoes late, it would be

large land tract near Cheboygan.


Mr. Delamarter declared orchard

fertilization is a matter of necessity,

with only experience as a guide to

application. ' He asserted. because of

the variety of problems, the experi-

mental stationj can only point the way

for the grower to follow and that the

grower must determine the absolute

solution to his obstacles. He said all

commercial growers should use part

of their orchard for fertility experi~

ments. The second prize winner, Mr.

Carr, discussed “Advertising Apples."

and the third place was given to Verne

L. Harris, whose subject was “Beauti-

fying Lawns.”


The society passed ﬁve resolutions,

one in support of the Michigan state

constabulary, which they declared a

“bulwark of safety against fruit

thieves.” Another petitioned the State

Farm Bureau to send a representative

before the interstate commerce com-

mission hearing on reduction of freight

rates on peach shipments. A third res~

olutiou was one calling on Michigan

congressmen to bend their efforts to-

ward changes in the Volstead prohibi—

tion act, as it applies to cider manu—

facturers. At the present time the act

holds the manufacturer responsible for

cider which, though it is unferm‘ented

before leaving his hands, it becomes

hard later. This the society termed

“unjust.” The fourth resolution pro-

tested against the methods used in the

distribution of cars from Chicago and

asked the interstate commerce com~

mission to confer with Michigan farm<

ms before deciding on the method of

freight car distribution for 1921. A ﬁfth

resolution demanded a change or re-

peal in the pure food laws which the

resolution alleged permitted manufac-

turers of synthetic or artiﬁcial fruit

juices to put their wares on the mar-

ket without properly marking to iden-'

tify their nature.


At the Wednesday afternoon session

C. A. Bingham, secretary of the Mich-

igan State Farm Bureau, explained

how that organization was related to

the fruit interests. Mr. Bingham said

in part: “Many of the executive com:

mittee of the State Farm Bureau are

fruit growers so I feel that we are my

ing to do as much for the fruit inter-

ests as for any other. A large share

of the results must come from local

effort and as a result of local condi-

tions. In speaking for the State Farm

Bureau I belieVe, we are all in favor

of doing the best we can for the fruit

interests at all times. We are study-

ing legislation and trying to go at it

in a way to get legislation that will

give results. So far as the relation-

ship of the fruit growers to the State

Farm Bureau is concerned may be eas-

ily explained. It is your organization

and will perform what services you

and yourselves agree that it should

perform. One thing I wish to touch

upon is some of the service we have

accomplished and some that might be

THE MI‘CH’ioAN‘ FA’RMER‘


EEPING ’D’owu COAL B'ILL's.


00 much coal is burned by the


, average householder in heating his

house, say engineers in the Division

of Rural Engineering of the United

States Department of Agriculture, who

have recently completed a study of

how to heat the farmhouse efﬁciently.

That too much coal 1s burned is due

primarily, studies show, to lack of

knowledge of how to regulate the heat-

er. It is not enough to install a heat-

er, ﬁll the bins with coal, and then

expect it to heat the house properly.

.The ﬁrst season after installing a heat-

er should be devoted to a study of fuels

and their burning in the particular

heater.

Some of the things in general which

the engineers who have been in charge

of this work advise the furnace oper~

ator to look after if he wishes to heat

his home comfortably with a minimum

amount of coal are: Be sure the chim-

ney is large‘enough for the size of the

house and, if possible, have it straight

up and down with a lined round ﬂue.

Study the dampers and use them in-

telligently in regulating the ﬁre. Ex-

periment with different kinds of coal

until the best kind or the best mix-

ture for your special heater is found.

Do not use the poker too often unless

the coal is of the kind that fuses,

forms a crust, and interferes with the

draft. Do not leave ashes in the ash

pit; clean them out each. time after

shaking. Insulate pipes and warm-air

ducts; it saves heat. Maintain, if pos-

sible, a humidity between forty and

ﬁfty per cent; moist air heats more

quickly and is much more healthful.


AVLPENA CRANBERRY MARSH.


EARS ago Wild cranberry marshes


in Michigan supplied most of

that fruit for the markets of the state,

but they have quite generally disap-

peared and a few sporadic efforts at

raising cranberries as a commercial

proposition have been failures. Now,

however, an Alpena concern is market-

ing a fair crop of the fruit and ex

pects, within a year or two, to have

a tract of ﬁfty acres in bearing. A

part of this was plantediseveral years

ago but the majority of it only within

the last four or ﬁve years and it is

not yet all in the best of condition.

The marsh is ﬂooded, when necessary,

by a system of irrigation ditches sup-

.plied by water from Devil’s Lake and

the water drains directly into Lake

Huron. The company has four hun-

dred acres of marsh land which it ex-

pects to bring under cultivation.

Some Suggestions from t/ze Upper Peninsula

By L. 14. C/zme


BELIEVE I do not misrepresent

I the opinion of the upper peninsula,

' if I say that‘ this section of the

state would be glad to see! the legis-

lature, this winter, undertake a revis-

ion of the state’s conservation activi-

ties. It is pointed out that one de-

partment of the state government

propagates ﬁsh and another depart-

ment protects them against unlawful

ﬁshing. The uppei peninsula has many

ﬁne t1out sneams, with many ﬁne in

land lakes and thiee of the Gleat

Lakes on its bordels. It is, ther'efme,

vitally interested in seeing its ﬁshing

interests promoted to the utmost.


Does the present arrangement work

as well as a combination of the work

of ﬁsh propagation and protection in ’

one department would work? Then

the enforcement of our game laws and

the protection of our forests is en-

trusted to one department. One hears

it said here that such unlike duties

should be assigned to distinct forces

of men, each selected and trained for

the special work it has to do; that, as

matters now stand, the game warden's

department is more interested in game

protection than in forest, protection,

and that the work of forest protection

suffers, as is shown by the recent very

serious and wide-spread forest ﬁres

throughout the western half of this

peninsula.


This section wants more settlers. It

has millions of acres of good. undevel-

oped lands which it would like to see

under the plow or in pasture. The

ofﬁce of immigration commissioner, it

is observed, is attached to the secre-

taryship of the public domain commis-

sion and consequently does not func-

tion actively 1101- possibly in full com-

pliance with the law which created the

ofﬁce. These people would like to see

Michigan go at the land settlement

problem as earnestly as some other

states have done. It peeves them that

Michigan should play second ﬁddle in

this matter: And as for the public

domain commission itself, it is noted

that it consists of six state ofﬁcials,

all very good men who would like to

do the right thing. but all chosen for

duties unlike that belonging to the

public domain commission and all too

busy with their manifold ofﬁcial duties

to give close personal attention 10 the

work of this commission. So these

people would like to see the personnel

of the domain commission made up in

conformity with its special Line of

work.


Then there is the soil survey. It

seems to be going on _under the aegis

of the agricultural college without

close cooperation with the Michigan

Geological Survey and the experts of

the University of Michigan, the Mich<

igan College of Mines and other agen

cies especially qualiﬁed and interest-

ed; and it seems to be .a job big

enough to engage all the best brains

of the state. Then a ﬁsh expert friend

points out that Michigan never has

had a ﬁsh survey—and the Michigan

Fish Commission assures me that this

is so. Then there are great areas,

such as the Taquamenou Swamp, cap-

able of being drained, and in which

drainage would uncover excellent ag-

ricultural land; but the project is too

big for local drainage districts to ban

dle. This suggests the advisability of

a state drainage department to consol-

idate the drainage operations through-

out the state, work out a comprehen-

sive drainage system, and carry out

the larger projects. Something like

this has already been advocated.


All these matters are phases of the

big problem of conservation, and it


them under one department of . the

state government to bring about’coop-

oration and economy of effort. and to

obtain the best equipped men for the

respective jobs under uniﬁed control

and leadership. The south state farm~

ers and other folks will beneﬁt, for

this section is the great storehouse for

many materials which they require,

and which are likely to go up in smoke

or otherwise be wasted or undeve10p~

ed, if more is not done to protect

them than at present is attempted.

People here feel that it is a big job

well worth the most earnest consider~

ation of the state as a whole.


N November 23, an Ionia county


farmer started a carload of apples

and pearsfor Marquette. The car an

rived on the fourth morning following.

This farmer came to Marquette in or-

der that he might personally attend- to

the disposal of his fruit to his custom-

ers. The carload sold “like hot cakes,"

at $1.75 per bushel. As there were ﬁve

hundred bushels in the shipment and

as his expenses for the car were about

$100 for freight, with perhaps $50 or

$75 for his own personal expenses, it

can readily be seen that the enterprise

of this southern Michigan farmer paid

him well. My understanding is that.

he could readily dispose of another

carload or two if he had them here.

There are numerous other cities and

large villages in the upper peninsula.

where this experience could undoubt-

edly be duplicated~—i11 Sault Ste. Man

ie, Newberry, Manistique, Escanaba,

Menominee, Iron River, Crystal Falls,

Iron Mountain, Ironwood, Bessemer,

Vi'akeﬁeld, Houghtou, Hancock, Calu~

met, Lake Linden, L’Anse, Ishpeming

and Negaunee, at least in some degree.

The sales are for cash. While the up-

per peninsula produces some excellent

fruit, its urban population still is much

more numerous than its rural popula-

tion, and current production is far be-

low local needs.


Thcre are three schools in northern

Michigan which operate under

Smith-Hughes law of the United States

in regard i0 agricultural education...

These are the Manistique and Escapa-

ba high schools, and the Menominee

County Agricultural School. While

there are many township unit. school

systems in the upper peninsula, there,

are undoubtedly very few which effec-

tively teach agriculture. I recently

heard of one of these schools serving

a rural community, which taught trig-

onometry and Latin but no agricul-

ture. This is nonsense. I heard a

student recently express doubt wheth-

er or not wheat is a cultivated crop.

His case is probably far from unique.

We need more agricultural schools

and teachers. The plan to establish :1

department of rural education in the

Northern State Normal School, next.

year, and the plan of cooperation be-

tween the: Michigan Agricultural Col-

legs and the normal schools, whereby

students may acquire the art of teach-

ing at a normal school and agricultural

practice at the college, seem to prom~

ise better things.


Representatives of six County Farm

Bureaus of the upper peninsula, ten

county agents from the same portion

of the state,rand representatives of the

State Farm Bureau and extension de-

partment of the Michigan Agricultural

College, met in Marquette, November‘

24, to bring about closer cooperation

between 'the 3

Perhaps the most important action of

the meeting was the adoption of a res-

'olution requesting the State Farm Bu-

through a faucet into a tin measure of questionable accuracy. In 1885 S. F.


Bowser invented the ﬁrst Piston-Type Measuring Pump. And since 1885

Bowser Equipment has been the Standard of the World for Accuracy in the

commercial handling of oils and hazardous liquids.


It is apparent that the simple and efﬁcient design of the Piston-Type Pump, when

adjusted to perfect accuracy, discharges an unvarying amount of liquid at each

stroke of the Piston. <> <> 0


Four simple parts assure accurate measurement by this Type of Pump.


The CYLINDER which contains the liquid. The CHECK VALVES which hold

the liquid in the Cylinder. The PISTON which prOpels the liquid through the

Cylinder. And the STOPS that govern the stroke of the Piston.


The cylinder is of seamless brass tubing. It has a capacity of 231 cubic inches

for each gallon—the United States standard of measurement.


Three Separate Check Valves effectively hold the Cylinder full of liquid. Each

of these Check Valves is shaped like a section of a ball, so that falling in any posi~

tion it completely closes the valve opening. This opening, or seat, has a very

narrow edge which affords no room for a deposit of sediment.


PREVIOUS to 1885 the world was apparently satisﬁed to draw oils by gravity


. The Piston Is 100% Efﬁcient. The Oiled Leather Packing around the Piston


Casting is held against the Cylinder Wall by the constant pressure of a heavy,

coiled brass spring. .


The stroke of the Piston begins at the bottom [of the Cylinder and continues up~

ward until it meets a positive mechanical Stop. This Stop determines the quantity

of gasoline discharged. It is adjusted to absolute accuracy of measurement by

actual liquid tests before it leaves the Bowser factory. Every Type of Bo wser

Pump has a scale or dial which indicates to the gasoline buyer when the full

stroke of the Piston has been made. ‘ '


A Bowser Pump so adjusted will consistently discharge the same accurate quan—

tity of gasoline time after time, indeﬁnitely. A blind man can do it.


' The addition of a glass container COULD NOTincrease the accuracy of


this perfectmeasuring machine, but it Would eliminate the factor of safety.

CHAPTER V.

AN could see Only-Snowbird’s out-


line at ﬁrst, just her shadow


against the moonlit hillside. His

glasses were none too good at long

range. And possibly, when she came

within range, the ﬁrst thing that he

noticed about her was her stride. The

girls he knew didn’t walk in quite that

free, strong way. She took almost a.

man-size step; and yet it was curious

that she did not seem ungrateful. Dan

had a distinct impression that she was

ﬂoating down to him on the moonlight.

She seemed to come with such unutter-

able smoothness. And then he heard

her call lightly through the darkness.


The sound gave him a distinct sense

of surprise. Some way, he hadn’t asso-

ciated a voice like this with a moun~

tain girl; he had supposed that there

would be so many harshening inﬂu-

ences in this wild place. Yet the tone

was as clear and full as a trained sing-

er’s. It was not a high voice; and yet

it seemed simply brimming, as a cup

brims with wine, with the rapture of

life. It was a self-conﬁdent voice too,

wholly unaffected and sincere, and

wholly without embarrassment.


Then she came close, and Dan saw

the moonlight on her face. And so it

came about, whether in dreams or

wakefulness, he could see nothing else

for many hours to come.


Beauty, after all. is wholly a matter

of the nearest possible approach to the

physical perfection that many centur-

ies of human faces have eStablished as

a standard. Thus perfection in this

case does not mean some ideal that has

been imaged by a poet, but just the

nearest approach to the perfect physi-

cal body that nature intended, and

which is the flawless example of the

type that composes the race, Thus a

typical feature is the most. beautiful,

and by this reasoning a composite pic-

ture of all the young girl faces in the

Anglo-Saxon nations would be the most

beautiful face that. any painter could

conceive. It follows that health is

above all the most essential quality’to

beauty, because disease, from the na-

ture of things, means thwarted growth

that could not possibly reach the typi-

cal 01‘ the race.


The girl who stood in the moonlight

had health. She was simply vibrant

with health. lt: brought a light to her

eyes, and a color to her cheeks, and

life. and shimmer to her moonlit hair.

It brought curves to her body, and

strength and ﬁrmness to her limbs, and

the grace of a deer to her carriage.

Whether she had regular features or

not Dan would have been unable to

state. He didn’t even notice, They


weren’t important when health was

present. Yet there was nothing of the

coarse or bold or voluptuous about her.

She was just a slender girl, perhaps

twenty years of age, and weighing even

less than the ﬁgure occasionally to be

read in the health magazines for girls

of her height. And she was fresh and

cool beyond all words to tell.


And Dan had no delusions above her

attitude toward him. For a long in-

stant she turned her keen, young eyes

to his white, thin face; and at once it

became abundantly evident that be-

yond a few girlish speculations she

felt no interest in him. After a single

moment of rather strained, polite con-

versation with Dan—just enough to

satisfy her idea of the conventions——

she began a thrilling tale to her father.

And she was still telling it when they

reached the house. _


Dan held a chair for her in front of

the ﬁreplace, and she took it with en-

tire naturalness. He was careful to

put it where the ﬁrelight was at its

height. He wanted to see its effect on

the ﬂushed cheeks, the soft dark hair.

And then, standing in the shadows, 'he

simply watched her. With the eye of

an artist he delighted in her gestures,

her rippling enthusiasm, her utter, ir-

repressible girlishness that all of Time

had not years enough to kill.


He decided that she had gray eyes.

Gray eyes seemed to be characteristic

of the mountain people. Sometimes,

when the shadows fell across them,

they looked very dark, as if the pines

had been reﬂected in them all day

and the image had not yet faded out

But in an instant the shadow flicked

away and left only light—light that

went into him and did all manner of

things to his spirit.


Bill stood watching her, his hands

deep in his pockets, evidently a com

panion of the best. Her father gazed

at her with amused tolerance. And

Dan—he didn‘t know in just. what way

he did look at her. And he didn’t have

time to decide. In less than ﬁfteen

minutes, and wholly without warning


she sprang up from her chair and

started toward the door. .

“Good Lord!” Dan breathed. “If you


make such sudden motions as that I’ll

have heart failure. Where are you go-

ing now?”


“Back to my watch," she answered,

her tone wholly lacking the personal

note which men have learned to ex-

pect in the voices of women. And an

instant later the three of them saw

her retreating shadow as she vanish-

ed among the pines.


Dan had to be helped to bed. The

long. ride had been too hard on his

TIMEI' HE' AN HOUR


shattered lungs; and nerves and body

collapsed-an instant after the door

was closed behind the departing girl.

He laughed weakly and begged their

pardon; and the two men were really

very gentle. They told him it was their

own fault for permitting him to over-


do. Lennox himself blew out the can-.


tile in the big, cold bedroom.


Dan saw the door close behind him,’


and he had an instant’s glimpse of

the long sweep of the moonlit ridge

that stretched beneath the window.

Then, all at once, seemingly without

warning, it simply blinked out. Not

until the next morning did he really

know why. Insomnia was an old ac-


quaintance of Dan’s, and he had ex“


pected to have some trouble in getting

to sleep. .His only real trouble was

waking up again when Lennox called

him. to breakfast. He couldn’t believe


that the light at his window shade.


was really that of morning.


“Good Heavens!” his host exploded.

“You sleep the sleep of the just.”


Dan was about to tell him that on

the contrary‘he was a very nervous

sleeper, but he~ thought better of it.

Something had surely happened to his

insomnia. The next instant he even

forgot to wonder about it in the reali-

zation that his tired body had been

wonderfully refreshed. He had no

dread now of the long tramp up the

ridge that his host had planned.


But ﬁrst came target practice. In

Dan’s baggage he had a certain very

plain but serviceable sporting riﬂe of

about thirty-forty caliber-ea gun that

the information department of the

large sporting-goods store in Gitch

eapolis had recommended for his pur-

pose. Except for the few moments in

the store, Dan had never held a riﬂe

in his hands.


Of course the actual aiming of a riﬂe

is an extremely simple proposition. A

man with fair use of his hands and

eyes can pick it up in less time than

it takes to tell it. The ﬁne art of

markmanship consists partly in the

finer sighting—the instinctive realiza-

tion of just what fraction of'the front

sight should be visible through the

rear. But most of all it depends on

the control that the nerves have over


the muscles. Some men are born riﬂe


shots; and on others it is quite impos.

sible to thrust any skill whatever.


The nerve impulses and the m'uscu- -


lar reﬂexes must be exquisitely tuned,

so that the finger presses back on the

trigger the identical instantthat the

mark is seen on the line of the sights.

One quarter of a second’s delay will

usually disturb the aim. There must

be no muscular jerk as the trigger is

pressed.

for blasted‘nerves. And usually such

attributes as the ability to judge dis-

tances, the speed and direction of a

ﬂeeing object, and the velocity of the

wind can only be learned by tireless

practice.


When Dan ﬁrst took the riﬂe in his

hands, Lennox was rather amazed at

the ease and naturalness with which

he held it. It seemed to come natur-

ally to his shoulder. Lennox scarcely

had ' to tell him how to rest the butt

and to drop his chin as he aimed. He

began to look rather puzzled. Dan

seemed to know all these things by in-

stinct. The ﬁrst shot, Dan' hit the

trunk of a ﬁve-foot pine at thirty paces.


“But I couldn’t very well have miss-

ed it!” he replied to Lennox’s cheer.

“You’ see, I aimed at the middle—but

I just grazed the edge.”


The second shot was not so good,

missing the tree altogether. And it

was a Singular thing that he aimed

longer and tried harder on this shot

than on the ﬁrst. The third time he

tried still harder, and made by far the

worst shot of all.


“What’s the matter?” he demanded.

“I’m getting worse all the time.”


Lennox didn’t know for sure.

he made a long guess. “It might be

beginner’s luck,” he said, “but I’m in-

clined to think you’re trying too hard.

Take it easier—depend more on your

instincts. Some marksmen are born

good shots and cook themselves try-

ing to follow rules. It might be, by

the longest chance, that you’re one of

them—~at least it won't hurt to try.”


Dan’s reply was to lift the riﬂe light-

ly to his shoulder, glance quickly along

the trigger, and ﬁre. The bullet struck

within one inch of the pine.


For a long time Lennox gazed at

him in open-mouthed astonishment.

“My stars, boy!” he cried at last.

“Was I mistaken in thinking you were

a born tenderfoot—after all? Can it

be that a little of your old grandfath-

er's skill has been passed down to

you? But you can't do it again.”


But Dan did do it again. If any-

thing, the bullet' was a little nearer the

center. And then he aimed at a more

distant tree.


But the hammer snapped down in-

effectively on the breech. He turned

with a look of question.


“Your gun only holds ﬁve shots,"

Lennox explained. Reloading, Dan

tried a more difﬁcult target~—a trunk


almost one hundred yards distant. Of _


course it would have been only child’s

play to an experienced hunter; but to

a tenderfoot it was the difﬁcult mark

indeed. Twice out of four shots Dan

attempting to hold his aim too long.

The shots rang far through the quiet

woods, long-drawn from the echoes

that came rocking back from the hills.

In contrast with the deep silence that


tains the sound seemed preternaturally

loud. All over the great sweep of can—

startled. One could easily imagine the

graceful action in the whole animal

sound, too. WOof has considerably

more understanding than most of the

wild inhabitants of the forest, and

maybe that is why he left his banquet

A wolf can see better than a man in

the darkness, but. not nearly as far in

the daylight. But. the wolves knew

this sound. Too many times they had

seen their pack—fellows die in the snow

when such a report as this one, only

intensiﬁed a thousand times, cracked

at them through the winter air. No

animal in all the forest has been as

relentlessly hunted as the wolves, and

they have learned their lessons. For

longer years than most men would

care to attempt to count, men have

waged a ceaseless war upon them. And

they have learned that their safety

lies in ﬂight. ~

Very quietly, and quite without pan~

ic. the wolves turned and headed

farther into the forests. Possibly no

other animal would have been fright-

ened at such a distance. And it is cer-

tainly true that in the deep, winter

snows not even the wolves would have

heeded the sound. The snows bring

sleeping in a pine, opened its eyes, and

a lone bull ‘elk, Snob as some people

think is‘beyond all other. things the

monarch of the forest, rubbed his neck

against a. tree trunk and wondered.


But yet there remained two of the

larger forest creatures that did not

heed at all. One was Urson, the por-

cupine, whose stupidity is beyond all

measuring. He was too slow and pa-

tient and dull to give attention to a

riﬂe bullet. And the other was Gray-

coat the coyote, gray and strange and

foam-lipped, on the hillside. Graycoat

could hear nothing but strange whin-

ings and voices that rang ever in his

ears. All other sounds were obscured.

The reason was extremely simple. In

the dog days a. certain malady some-

times comes to the wild creatures, and

it is dreaded worse than drought or

cold or any of the manifold terrors of

their lives. No one knows what name

they have for this sickness. Human

beings call it hydrophobia. And the

coyotes are particularly susceptible

to it.


Ordinarily the-- name of coyote is,

among the beasts, a synonym for cow—

ardice as well as a certain kind of de-

tested cunning. All the cowardice of

a mountain lion and a wolf and a lynx

put together doesn’t equal the amount

the Graycoat carried in the end of his

tail. That doesn’t mean timidity. Tim-

idity is a. trait of the deer, a gift of

nature for self—preservation, and no

one holds it against them. In fact, it

makes them rather appealing. Coward-

ice is a lack of moral courage to re-

main and ﬁght when nature has af-

forded the necessary weapons to ﬁght

with. It is sort of a betrayal of na~

ture——~a. misuse of powers. No one

calls a rabbit a coward because it runs

away. A warlikerabbit is something

that no man has ever seen since the

beginning of the world, and probably

never will. Nature hasn’t given the

little animal any weapons.


But this is not true of the wolf or

cougar. A wolf has ninety pounds of

lightning-quick muscles, and teeth

that are nothing but .a set of well-

sharpened and perfectly arranged

daggers. A cougar not only has fangs

but talons that can rend flesh more

terribly than the cogs of a machine,

and strength to make the air hum un-

der his paw as he strikes it down. And

so it is an extremely disappointing

thing to see either of these animals

ﬂee in. terror from an Airedale not

half their size—a. sight that most

mountain men see rather often. The

fact that they act with greater cour-

age in the famine times, and that

either of them will ﬁght to the very

death when brought to bay, are not

extenuating circumstances to their

cowardice. A mouse will bite the hand

that picks it up if it has no other

choice.


A coyote is, at least in a measure,

equipped for ﬁghting. He is smaller

than a wolf, and his fangs are almost

as terrible. Yet a herd of determined

sheep, turning to face him, puts him

in a panic.

petriﬁes him with terror. And a riﬂe

report—he has been known to put a

large part of a county between him-

self and the source of the sound‘ in the

shortest possible time. If a. mountain

man feels like ﬁghting, he simply calls

another a coyote. It is more effectiVe

than impugning the virtue of his fe.

male ancestors. To be called a coyote

means to be termed the-lowest, most

despised creature of which the imagi-


awtion can conceive.


And besides being a perfect, unprin-


‘ cipled coward, he is utterly without


pride. And that'is saying a great deal.

'only eats carrion—because if one ‘start~

ed to condemn‘all the carrion-ea‘ting

animals of the forest he would soon

have precious few of them lefteébut

he also eats old shoes off rubbish

pile. Unlike the wolf. he does not even

ﬁnd his courage in thegfamine times.

He has cunning, but cunning is not

greatly beloved in men or beasts.

Most folk prefer a kindly, blundering

awkwardness, a. simplicity of heart

and spirit, such as are to be found in

Woof the bear.


But Graycoat has one tendencythat

makes all the other forest creatures

regard him with consternation; he is

extremely liable to madness. Along

in dog days he is seen suddenly to be-

gin to rush through the thickets, bark-

ing and howling and snapping at in-

visible enemies, with foam dropping

from his terrible lips. His eyes grow

yellow and strange. And this is the

time that even the bull elk turns off

his trail. No one cares to meet Gray-

coat when the hydrophobia is upon

him. At such time all his cunning and

his terror are quite forgotten in his


agony, and he is likely to make an un- '


provoked charge on Woof himself.

Now Graycoat came walking stiff-

legged through the thickets. And the

forest creatures, from the smallest to

the great, forgot the far-on peal of the

riﬂe bullets to get out of his way.

When my heart with youth is brim-

And my life is all to me,

With my work and with my family,

Why should I unhappy be?


Ah! ’tis but the old. old story,

Love—and love alone can say,

Why my heart just nowis yearning


For someone who’s far away.


’Tis a feeling here within me

That does haunt me day and night;

That perhaps in days gone by ,

Things have not been always right.


When imagination wanders . ~

On these thoughts which come and


go,

All the sunshine turns to shadows.

And my spirits sink so low.-


But, when pride and reason conquer,

And my true sense does return,

All such thoughts are cast behind me.


And my love is left to yearn.

' Songs of .Thirty Centuries


Our. W eat/y Sermon-—- By N. A. M chme


is to deal With the Psalms. A


psalm is a sacred song or poem.

Many of, the psalms were written for

music. They were used in the temple

of worship, and in smaller gatherings.

Tradition says, that over the couch of

David, there hung a harp. The mid-

night breeze, as it came softly through

the window, played sweet music on

the strings. At these times, the poet

king was constrained to rise from his

bed and wed words to the music that

the breeze played upon the harp.


The Psalms have been deﬁned as

the whole music of the heart of man,

swept by the hand of his Maker. With

the reading of a psalm we are baptized

and with a psalm we are buried. With

the words,of a psalm on his lips, our

Lord died on the cross. To the sing-

ing of psalms martyrs have drowned

out the cries of their- persecutors.

Great minds have been occupied with

translating the psalms, men of letters

have said the psalms were their great-

est inspiration, and statesmen like

‘rl‘adstone have said that they were up-

held in hours of crisis by the calm


N OT to be enigmatic, this sermon


faith that breathes from the page of


the psalter. Says Ambrose, one of the

early church leaders, “Anyone possess-

ed of his ﬁve senses should blush with

shame if he did not begin the day with

a psalm, .since even the tiniest birds

open and close the day with songs of

holy devotion.”


A church council decreed that no


' one should be raised to any high ofﬁce


who could not recite the whole book of

psalms. In the early history of Eng-

lish Christianity, Kentigern began

each day by standing breast high in a

running stream, and reciting the entire

psalter. In Wales, in a large convent,

the psalms were recited day and night

in relays, so that during the twenty-

four hours continuous praise should

rise to God. Gladstone said, "All the

wonders of Greek civilization heaped

together are less wonderful than the

simple book of psalms—the history of

the human soul, in relation to its

Maker.”


\


I HERE are several varieties of


psalms. There are nature psalms,

patriotic psalms and psalms of life.

Let us take a few specimens of these.

Of nature psalms, the eighth is the

best known. It is a description of the

heavens by night. “When I consider

thy heavens, the moon and stars which

thou has ordained, what is man, that

thou art mindful of him?” Psalm 29

is the description of a thunderstorm,

beginning in the north and sweeping

south. “To getvthe swing and grip of

this, it should be read aloud. Psalm

148 pictures the entire creation from

the humblest creatures up 'to kings

and philosophers, as a mighty chorus

rendering praise to Almighty God. To

the Hebrew writers, nature was a

book. On its pages they read the evi-

denceof a good God.


The patriotic psalms refer usually

to certain historic events. Take the

forty-sixth: “God is our refuge and

strength, a very present help in trou-

ble.” This, almost to a certainty, re-

fers to the siege of Jerusalem by the

Assyrians. The story is told in the

thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah. There

was no hope for the holy city, unless

God intervened. He did intervene.

The Hebrew patrol next morning

counted eighty-ﬁve thousand dead As-

syrians, around the city walls. ‘ This

forty-sixth psalm has been a tower of

strength to God’s people for centuries.

good old psalm, done into verse:


“A mighty fortress is our God,

A bulwark never. failing,


Our helper He, amid the ﬂood

Of mortal ills prevailing.”


During the Indian mutiny, in 1857,

Psalm 46 was the stay of General

Havelock. He used to read it to his

men, when they knew not whether an-

other day might ﬁnd them dead, at the

hands of the infuriated natives. Psalm

137 is a threnody, written after the ex-

ile, when the Hebrews were far away

in a strange land. They had been de-

ported by their conquerors, and they

knew they would never see \their be-

loved Jersualem again. The psalm has

been called the world’s most pathetic

bit of literature. “By the rivers of

Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we

wept, when we remembered Zion. Up-

on the willows in the midst thereof,

we hanged up our harps."


W HEN one turns to the psalms of

life, he rises to still greater

heights. Psalm 90 is a hymn of hu-

man mortality. It sobs like the sea.

and means like the wind in the pines.

“Lord, thou has been our dwelling

place in all generations. Before the

mountains were brought forth, or ever

thou hadst formed the earth and the

world, even from everlasting to ever-

lasting thou art God.” Isaac Watts

hymn, which is considered by some

hymnologists to be the greatest Chris-

tian hymn ever written, it is a para-

phrase of this psalm. When an Amer-

ican bishop was talking to a regiment

of British soldiers one night just be-

fore a drive, he asked them what he

could do for them. Many asked for

the Communion. Then said the bish-

op, “What shall we sing?” They re-

plied, “Sing, ‘0 God, our help in ages

past’.” They did. The next morning

they' went over the top and never

came back.

"0 God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,


Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home.”


So the four or live verses run on.

His a great hymn, and simply reﬂects

the power and pathos oi‘ the psalm

from which it is taken. The twenty~

third psalm is the “mest complete pic-

ture of human happiness that ever

was, or ever can be drawn.”


VOLUME might be' written on


verse ﬁve of Psalm 31: “Into thy

hand, I commend my spirit.” These

were the last words of Jesus on the

cross. They have been the parting

words of a hostiof God-fearing souls.

Christopher Columbus had had the

world’s'honors, then suddenly he had

been imprisoned on a false charge.

He died in a garret, with no comfort

aside from his Christian faith. His

last words were, “Into thy hands I

commend my spirit." John Hus was

burned at the stake, after being be-

trayed by those he thought were his

friends. As the flames wrapt them-

selves about him in ﬁerce embrace, he

cried out, “into thy hands I commend

my spirit.” Mary Queen of Scots has

always been an interesting ﬁgure, in

history. Boys and girls have dreamed‘

about her beauty. She died at the

block. After mounting the scaffoldn

and removing her black satin robe and

long white veil, she appeared in a suit

of crimson velvet. Taking the rings

from her ﬁngers and handing them to

her weeping maids, the handkerchief

was tied over her eyes. She knelt and

felt for the block, whereon to lay her

head. Her last-words were, “Into thy

hands I commend my spirit." Whole

libraries have been written about the


psalms, b t better than reading them.>.>

a train of bad consequences which re-

as likely to end up in Bright’s disease.

Indeed, so important do many physi-

cians consider a proper diet that one

has gone so far as to say that if we

start the infant right, and see to it

that the growing child and adult never

sins against his digestive tract, he will

never be sick. That is probably car-

rying the matter beyond the limits Of

possibility but it would certainly do no

harm to experiment along his line of

reasoning.

Aside from the food itself, many

points must be considered. First is

thorough chewing to break the food

into small pieces and thoroughly mix

the starches with saliva. Regular

hours for meals is as important as the

right selection Of food. Growing chil-

dren and convalescents Often need

more than three meals a day, but the

mid-meal lunches should always be

taken at the same hour each day and

should be a light food which does not


require a long time to digest, as cocoa

Some Facts About


OITRE, even though it be a small

and almost imperceptible one,

Spoils the symmetry and the nat-

ural beauty lines of the neck. It is a

matter Of statistics that many more

women than men suffer from goitre.

Just the reason Of this is difﬁcult to

determine. Some medical authorities

have attributed it to the fact that

women are apt to drink more freely

of water than men, and that the water

of some localities is inclined to pro-

duce goitre. There is no doubt about

it, that gOitre is an endemic malady

in part at least. That is, it is peculiar

to certain regions, and it is thought

is produced by characteristics Of the

soil, or water found in those places.

However, it is likely to occur sporadi-

cally anywhere, and the individual who

watches for goitrous symptoms will

Goitre is of several different kinds.

Some types yield to treatment much

more readily than others. The impres-

sion that goitre is of no consequence

except that it is uncomfortable and

disﬁguring, is in errOr, for it may be

either the symptom or the result of

deep-seated, underlying trouble. It is

Often found that a goitrous mother will

bear children who will show this pe-

culiarity. If they do not develop it in

infancy, it may appear at the time of

puberty. , '


Goitre sometimes follows physical

debility or those illnesses which‘weaka

en the tissues. It is also peculiar to

some regions, and people affected with

'it may experience relief by removing

to a different climate. , The mountain-

ous regions Of the Alps, the Andes,


and the Himalayas, certain parts of


England, the Rhone Valley, Northern

Italy, the Indian Punjab, and some

parts of our own west, show a great

deal of goitre. Severe strain or unus-

ual exertion, especially of a type which

strains the muscles or tendons Of the

neck, is sometimes traced as the cause

of goitre. , Fright, worry, ,.extreme'~ex-'

sedentary occupations usually do well

to avoid rich, greasy foods, much,

cream, and concentrated foods, such


as cheese, candy and nuts. such per-


sons should choose roast beef and 5

mutton rather than .pork, sausage and


fried ham, light puddings rather than

pastry, and partake only sparingly of

cakes and candy. They should never

eat candy except at the clﬁsepf a

meal, and then only a small piece.

Breakfast starting with half a grape

fruit’ or an Orange, a not tooacld Oi~

ange or a peach or pear, followed by a.

small serving Of cereal, two small

pieces of toast or a mufﬁn, an egg or

three or four slices of bacon and cof-

fee, is a good start for the day. If

dinner comes at noon, beef or mutton,


not too liberal a portion, a medium-_


sized potato, a cooked vegetable and

a raw vegetable asvlettuce, endive, cel-


' ery, celery cabbage, bread and butter


and a light dessert, is sufﬁcient. For

supper, or lunch, cream soup, or mac-

aroni and cheese, rolls and butter,

stewed fruit and a plain cooky, and

coffee or tea With cream should Offer

no difﬁculty of digestion.


Below are suggested menus for a

day:


Breakfast—Baked apple with two

tablespoons of light cream, cup of far-


ina, or cream of wheat with rich milk;


two small pieces Of toast, one poached

egg, coffee with cream.

roast beef and gravy, one cup mashed

dency is frequently the cause of goitre

and, again, goitre may favor the

growth of tubercular germs and lead

to the development Of that disease.

It sometimes follows rheumatism and

the fevers. ‘


A11 in all, it is evident that goitre is V


a sharp departure from health, and


that the condition should not be neg- ~


lected because it rarely groWs better

of itself. The reason of this is that

the enlargement may be caused by in

creasing folicles Of the gland,'by ‘ln-

ﬁammation or engorgement of? the

size, it présses upon the veins of the


neck, interfering with circulation, and

‘ and a peculiar changed appearance of


the nails. In cases of this kind, both

the mental and moral tone become af-

fected, and the 'patient is likely to

show alternate spells of depression and

unusual buoyancy. .


Medical treatment of the right na-

ture often proves very effective in cur-

ing goitre. An electrical treatmenthas

also been used with some success. In

the more severe cases, operation is

resorted to, but this should only be

done under the advice of skilled sur-

geons, for interference with the knife

may be dangerous. Safety lies in rec-

ognizing the trouble as soon as it be-

gins to develop, in building up the

general health, and reducing the goitre

by suitable treatment.


Goitre is more common in the young

adult and the middle-aged, occurring

most frequently from ﬁfteen to thirty

years in women, and thirty to forty-

‘ﬁve years in men. One medical writer

declares that the oldest goitre patient

he ever saw was forty-four years of

age, and the youngest-two and a half

years; while another declares that he

has seen it as late as sixty-eight years

of age.


Among the complications of goitre

are included hysteria, chm-ea, and even

epilepsy. The treatment calls for rest

and freedom from excitement, a sim-

ple, wholesome dict of which milk

forms a large part, strict attention to

body hygiene, and medical supervision

extending over a sufﬁcient period of

time to gain satisfactory results.


SORGHUM RECIPES.

by my mother more than ﬁfty years

ago, and was used by her mother and

grandmother.


Connecticut Pumpkin Pie.


To properly prepare pumpkin, peel

and cut in inch cubes and cook in an

open, kettle, adding very little water

to start it cooking. Stir frequently,

and when tender, simmer on back of

range and continue stirring frequently

until the pumpkin is very dry and a

dark brown color. The following recipe

will be enough for four pics: I


Two cups of pumpkin, three eggs,

one teaspoont’ul of ginger, one and

one-half cups of sorghum syrup, two

quarts of whole milk. Bake in a steady

oven for forty-ﬁve minutes.


Sorghum Cookies.


One large cup of: buttermilk, three-

quarters cup of melted shortening, one

cup of sorghum, one egg, one level

teaspoon of soda dissolved in one to

blespoon of hot water, two teaspoons

of baking powder sifted into three and

one-half cups of ﬂour, spices to taste

and one teaspoon of lemon or vanilla

extract. These may be rolled out and

cut, or may be dropped from a spoon.

I Dried Apple Sauce.


Sorghum combines well with dried

apples or prunes, but it spoils the

experiment on a small amount at ﬁrst.

Semc Observations on Canning


\


Mrs. G. W Gooda/e Not Only Learns we Advantage; of Canning m

Tin, But also Wﬂy Gzr/s’ C/ué: Frequently Lac/é Eﬂtﬂmmmz


HE canning of meats will be one


of the outstanding projects to be


taken up this winter by many of

our club leaders and home demonstra-

tion agents.


It is a ditﬁcult matter to get peo-

ple’s conﬁdence in the success of can-

ning in tin cans, said Mr. Stewart,

Wayne county club agent. “We are

going to prove, however, that it really

is more economical in every way to

can in tin than in glass. In the ﬁrst

place, they have to pay between ninety

cents and $1.25 a dozen for glass jars,

while tin canscan be purchased for

$3.80 a hundred. Then. too, it saves

time and labor. for where one can

place only ﬁfteen glass jars in a boil-

er for processing, three dozen quart

cans may be taken care of at one time.


Heretot’ore the farmer has been

obliged to salt his meats to keep them

through the winter. By the cold~pack

method, it. will be shown how the farm-

er can have fresh and wholesome

meats all winter. Mr. Stewart referred

to the owner of a chain of restaurants

in Detroit, who buys up hundreds of

pounds of chicken at a time, places it

in tin cans by the cold-pack method

and is able to serve a chicken dinner

at ten or ﬁfteen minutes notice. He

does the same with vegetables and

claims he is able to save hundreds of

dollars, besides much time and labor

in this manner.


Every housekeeper, not alone the

farmer’s wife. would ﬁnd it proﬁtable

to can her own products. For instance,

it is estimated the cost of tomatoes in

a quart can amounts to about; three

cents, the cost of the can is four and

a half cents. while the fuel and labor


HEN I was a b0y~~sometime

ago, by the way—r— the only team

we had on the place was a yoke

of oxen. Father went into the army,

and because we boys were little shav-

ers he did not think we could do much

with those big oxen, so he sold them

just before he went away, for one hun-

it


is set at about one-half cent, making

a total of nine cents for the cost of a

can of tomatoes which at the grocer’s

would cost twenty—ﬁve to thirty cents.


Take baked beans. This is gener-

ally a favorite dish but 'is often times

not prepared by the wife, for the sole

reason that it takes too much time

and effort. A family might have, say

twenty-ﬁve dinners consisting of baked

beans during the winter. Each time

the housewife must go through the

same long process of preparing the

dish for the table. Why not get a half

bushel of beans at a season when they

are most reasonable, cook them over

one ﬁre, can them and have them

ready just to heat up whenever a meal

01' baked beans is desired.


If properly sterilized, tin cans may

be used over and over again. There

are sealers on the market, which not

only t1ims off the edge of a used can

but which will seal new covers on the

old can.


No spoilage will be experienced in

canning in tins such as are found in

canning in glass. This spoilage is due

to what is called ﬂat sours and this is

especially true in the three most popu-

lar vegetables put up by cold-pack

canning, these being tomatoes, peas

and corn. In classifying by the length

of time usually taken in processing,

the most difﬁcult vegetables to

can are com, peas and lima beans.

These three, along with several

others, such as beets and string

dred dollars. So we boys had to get

right at it and raise a pair of steers.

When they were nothing but calves

we got a man to make a light yoke of

basswood, and such times as we did


have'breaking those steers. But we

broke them all right; and we took the

best care of them we could. They


outgrew that little yoke and we took

the old big yoke father had left when

he sold his oxen. It was just about all,

we could do to lift that big yoke to

the necks of the steers; but we were

growing bigger and stronger, too, as

well as the steers, and got so we could

do anything with them. So well broke

were they that I often used to sit on

the top of a big load of bark and drive

right down through the nearest village

ﬁve miles away to the tannery. Five

dollars a cord was the price for our

bark in those days.


Yoked Up Together.


But what I wish to say now is, that

until those steers were yoked up to-

gether, they were not worth a cent to

work on the farm. It took the yoke

to make them valuable to us. And it

is the same way"with boys and girls.

They need to get into the harness with

one another to do the best work. Have

you not seen pictures of men in far

off countries, showing them plowing

A. C. Getting Ideas in Boys' and

Girls’ Club Work.


It Is Teamwork That Countssyuﬂdem


pretty slow, doesn’t it, and'really it is

as slow as it looks. Team work is

what counts. So the thing I am speak-

ing for is that every boy and girl ought

to get into touch with other young

folks. There is an inspiration about it

that counts for a great deal.


How It Works.


Take it in’growing calves or hens

or fruit or anything else on the farm.

You may work along alone for a long

time and not get the real fun out of it,

or the inspiration that you would if

More interest has been shown in the

canning clubs because in the end there

was a ﬁnancial gain to be realized by

the boys, while the girls simply can-

ned their goods for home consumption.

Hereafter the girls’ clubs will be in-

that they can be readily marketed.

ing, but is here now. Twenty-nine ex-


periments in that many widely varying.


localities present more experimental


evidence than is ordinarily given in.


most cases regarding your business.

In these experiments spraying reduced

scab fifteen per cent; dusting fifteen

per cent. Spraying reduced worms

ﬁve per cent; .dusting four per cent.

These differences are so small as to

make the conclusion that. there is not

much difference so far as the effec-

tiveness is concerned. If these ex-

periments are carried on for the next

hundred years under the same condi-

.tions there will be no great difference

in results. But if dusting machinery

is improved as rapidly as it has been

during the past few years and dusting

materials receive as much attention

as spraying materials have had, there

will be fewer spraying machines used.

As a rule. the average fruit grower

prefers as few machines and as few

materials as he can get the best re-

sults with. If he has to have a spray-

ing outﬁt for scale and other diseases

it will complicate the machine prob-

lem, but some of the later experiments

indicate that dust materials may be

used for the same pquOSes as spray-

ing materials. Many potato growers

are. going to practice dusting in 1921.

The 1920 results have been very sat-

isfactory. The average grower does

not appreciate the value of timeliness

in, spraying. The man who is spraying

mere than four or ﬁve times is losing

time and materials. It is a case of

keepingvyour eyes open and knowing

when to do the work. The most effec-

tive spraying is done just in time to

become dry before the rain. One mod-

ern type duster will do the work of six


sprayers.

At the Thursday morning session E.

W. Stillwell, investigator in markets


of the federal departments at Waslr

ington, condemned the present Michi-

gan apple grading law as totally in-

suliicient. “You men,” he declared,

"should insist upon either the amend~

ment or repeal that law. Under its

provisions the apple grower of the

state has absolutely no comeback

when 1’. o. b. shipments are rejected on

the grounds that they do not come up

to standard. The Michigan law is so

vague in deﬁning standards for differ-

ent sorts of apples that, it can be inter-

preted to the satisfaction of different

individuals." Mr. Stillwell urged pas-

Lsage of uniform federal grading laws.

“The best way of promoting standard-


‘ ’ization,” he said. “is by the creation

of a bureau with power to compile ade-

'quate laws and enfOrce them after they

are passed.” _


Following this address a motion was

put to the society and carried naming

F. L. Granger. chairman of a commit-

tee of hisbwn selection to confer on

ways and means of “putting teeth" in

the state apple grading law.

lining up in an effort to get better

conditions in 1921.” r -

At the afternoon meeting M. B. Goff»

of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. gave one

of the best addresses of the meeting

on the subject of “Marketing Prob-

lems.” Among the-points made by Mr.

Goff were the following: “We know

now how to grow good fruit, but how

to sell it is the burning question. We

have many small communities growing

fruit and we cannot delay much long-

er some of these questions without

many growers being put outof busi-

ness. Under the existing conditions

and trade channels it is impossible to

market fruit at a proﬁt. For example,

the scarcity of sugar and the difﬁcult-

ies under which canners were working

the past. year. We must also consider

the problems as regards the market-

ing of canned products. Another prob

lem is the fact that consumption is


not taking the supply in sufﬁcient. vol:

ume to make the business pay. There.

are many ways of increasing the con,


sumption of fruit. The California


growers have forced the consumption:

of their fruit. but the consumption of


other fruit is decreasing. Peach and

cherry growers have received low pric-

es this year. In manycases less than

the cost of picking. packing and put-

ting them on the market. Under the

most efﬁcient, system of fruit, growing

this year many growers have met ser-

ious losses. Labor is to be cheaper in

the future, but we don’t want it to go

too low for prices are governed to a

large extent by the prices ot‘labor. In

many instances consumers have learn

ed that if they stop

must come down, and unless we can

keep down production charges we are

going to meet. a critical situation the

coming year. if growers’ organizations

could put before the consumers

fact, that big shipments Were coming

to’ their cities and that prices would be

reasonable it would. in my mind, help

things to some extent. The fact that

the commission trade handled things

so well as they did in many cities the

past year is a tribute to the trade.

even if they do have other faults. Be-

fore these problems can all be settled

we must go through a period 01' de-

velopment. It surely cannot be accom-

plished in any short time. Before go

ing after the trade we must go after

ourselves. The condition now confront-

ing us is more our fault than the fault

of the commission men, canners or re-

tailers. If we were in their, places

would we try and push the goods of

growers who put inferior goods upon

our hands? I don’t believe the trade is

too blame for selling Oregon and

Washington apples on the Grand Rap

ids markets. It is simply because you

do not dominate your home market

with quality. If these goods are push-

ed on your markets it is not because

the trade is trying to push them, but

because you are not putting up your

apples in as good shape. Until we in-

vestigate our own methods and goods

and put up a class of fruit equal to

that put up by otheis we cannot pass

the blame to anybody else.”

CRATE with a slide door“ .at one

- end is handy for catching poultry

when treatment for lice is nec-


essary. Place the coop against the

. small trap-door in a hen house and the


birds will run in until the crate is full.

Then they are easily caught and the

operation can be repeated until all the

hens in the house have slipped through

the small doorinto the crate.


Electric lights and heavy feeding

will help to produce winter eggs but

such methods must not be used on the

breeding stock which is expected to

produce hatching eggs next spring.

Hens that lay heavily all winter do

not produce eggs in the spring with

strong germs. That is why many farm-

ers who make no effort to obtain win-

ter eggs do produce eggs in the spring

which hatch out a large per cent of

vigorous chicks.


Fresh air in the poultry houses

helps to keep the hens healthful. Sun-

shine on the ﬂoor helps to dry the lit-

ter and destroy disease germs. Birds

usually keep healthy under natural

conditions and they are something

more than machines. You never see

sparrows sitting around in the fence

corners with colds and roup. The

crows and hawks appear healthy and

vigorous. Nature can teach the poul-

tryman much about the management

of hens.


When ﬂocks of young poultry are

from vigorous stock and well fed. but

appear unthrifty, the trouble may be

due to worms. The department of ag-

riculture recommend the following


Reports of lowering prices for 1111111.

her and building material are once r»

aging to poultrymen who need new

houses. Possibly a building boom next

spring may cause lumber prices to rise

again. The poultrymen and farmers

who wish to build new houses can


proﬁtably study the market and try to ._._


make purchases at the right time. It-

is quite an interesting speculation and

nobody seems to know just what is

going to happen.


Money can be saved in feeding poul-

try through the owning of the useful

feed grinders which are now sold. This

year the corn crop is generally good

and corn meal for the mash can be

produced at home. ‘

the course ofxa. year will turn out quite

a few pounds of poultry feed from the

bones that might 'be’ wasted. At

slaughtering time there is often a large

stock of bones which can be used to

stimulate egg production.


Many a hen comes out late in the

fall with a ﬁne brOod of chicks from a

stolen nest. Sentiment usually lets


them live, although they are seldom}


proﬁtable. The best plan is to have

plenty of good nests in the poultry

houses and clean up places on the

range where nests can be hidden.


also pays to keep the hens out of the

ham or spend some time in locating

nests that are stolen. With eggs

worth about ﬁve cents each, a dollar’s

w01th can soon be lost in stolen nests.

cure for a ﬂock of one hundred hens.

Steep a pound of chopped tobacco

stems for a. couple of hours with the

water just covering them. Starve the

birds for a (lay and then give them

the tobacco mixture in about half the‘r

usual ration of ground feed. Two hours

later dissolve eleven ounces of epsom

salts with water and mix with one-

quarter of their usual ration of ground

feed. -Ten days later the treatment

should be 1epeated.


The tleatment for worms need not

be given until the birds have been ex—

amined for lice and disease and the

owner is sure that they have enough

of a balanced ration to eat. After giv-'

ing the worm medicine it is necessary

to clean up the houses and yards.

Plowing the range to bring up clean

soil "is also a. help. Then plant a crop

of green food for the hens. Puddles

and wet manure heaps around poultry

yards seem to help in producing

worms that infest poultry, so it pays

to have the range clean and well

drained. _


Pure-bred poultry have a practical

value aside from their pleasing ap-

pearance and the chances of selling

hatching eggs and breeding stock. The

broilers from such a ﬂock are more

uniform in weight and appearance than

a mixed crate of birds of several types.

The eggs will ~~be more uniform and

bring a better. price on the~ best city

It will be easier to improve

the egg production by the use of males

from bred-today hens. . J- ' '1


twenty eggs were found in a state of

decomposition in the same stack.


The purchase of good breeding cock-

erels is the cheapest way of improving

the f'a1m ﬂock next to raising them

110m good quality hatching eggs. One

male inﬂuences a large number of eggs

each year and he can sometimes be

used to advantage for two or three

years. A buyer of a ﬁrst class cockerel

need not swat his bird after the ﬁist

year ’s breeding operations are over.

Fine quality male blldS are often too

valuable to maiket as meat. Some

dailvmen may be satisﬁed with cull

reosters though they own a. ﬁne dairy

bull. And possibly a hundred of their

hens compare very favorably as proﬁt

producers with one or two of their

cows.


More custom hatcheries should be

proﬁtable in sections where there are

none at present. If the business can

be managed by some member of the

family not encumbered with too much

ﬁeld work ‘he should be able to do

much hatching work for the commu-


nity and sell many day-old chicks. This '


chick business has come to stay and


people like to buy them. .4 When they .‘ '1

BARLEY FOR SHEEP.


_ ls whole barleya good feed for sheep

"and'lambs? I have been .

cats but have lost two or three lambs.


I am at a loss to know the cause.


St. Joseph Co. W. A. B.

,I don’t believe that barley caused


the death of your sheep and lambs, ..

unless of course, you over-fed them.


This ‘might be done with any grain.


Aimixture of oats and ’barley ought to"


be a splendid ration for ewes. I would

prefer it to oats alone for sheep. Of

course, it is not necessary to have

this barley ground.

some other cause of the death of your

lambs other than your barley. If you

have any more trouble I should want

to consult .a veterinarian and see if i

could not discover the reason. but I

am sure that it could not have been.

ly fed. C. C. L.


OAT HAY FOR DAlRY COWS.


Would like your advice as to feed-

ing fresh cows. I have plenty of oats,

cut |green for hay. (just as they were

going into the dough), and corn fort

(191'. Also have ground oats and corn

for grain, and can use small potatoes

if advisable. Have no ensilage or clo-

ver hay. Would timothy and alsike

help to balance roughage?


Midland Co. E. C. P.


As long as you have good car bay

to feed with corn l'odder it will not be

necessary to get timothy or alsike, al.-

though alsike is a. very good dairy

food, but it you have plenty of oat hay“

and corn fodder it will not, be news»

sary to buy alsike for your cars. it

you have no ensilage to feed, a teed

ing once a day of small potatoes Will

be a splendid thing. This furnishes .i,

succulent food and you will get boiler

results from your dry fodder by feed.-

ing the potatoes. Nothingr is better

than ground corn and outs for dairy

cows for a part 01" the ration, but when

fed alone it makes your ration deﬁ-

cient in protein to give the best re-

sults. My advice would be to acid to

your grain ration two pounds of cot.-

tonseed meal or two pounds of oil

meal per day. C. C. L.

WHEAT

Broomhall, the leading European


statistician in a statement this week

admitted that the present supply of

wheat. for importing countries was suf-

ﬁcient only because the impoverish-

ment of Germany, Poland, Italy and

Austria made them financially unable

to buy as much wheat as they actually

needed. Theoretically the world’s im-

port requirements exceed the export-

able surplus of North America, Argen-

tine, Australia and India by over 100,—

000,000 bushels, but due to economics

in the use of wheat, and ﬁnancial con-

ditions the full amounts cannot be tak-

en. Drought, continues in India, al-

though moderate amounts of wheat

are being cleared away from that coun-

try. Harvesting is well under way in

Argentine. That. country has an ex-

portable surplus of 100,000,000 to 130,-

000,000 bushels compared with actual

clearances of 193,00,000 bushels for the

crop year now drawing to a close, and

offers of new grain have been rela-

tively higher than those from the Unit-

ed States. Australian conditions are

very favorably with prospects of

around 100,000,000 bushels for export.

\Her entire crop was reported sold for

famine relief in China, with 11.000.000

bushels to Egypt. \Vere it not for the

fact that the leading exporting coun-

tries all have fairly liberal crops this

season the world’s situation would be

most. acute. A crop failure in any of

the leading exporting countries in 1921

might prove disastrous as far as Eu-

rope is concerned. In the last two

weeks between 15000000 and 20.000,-

000 bushels of wheat has been sold for

export of which at least half was do-

mestic grain. Exports of wheat and

ﬂour from the United States during

October totaled 43,000,000 bushels. a

new record. anti the exports for the

ﬁrst. four months of the crop season

were 146.000.000 bushels. also a record.


CORN


Movement of new corn so far this

season is extremely light. Farmers

continue to show a holding tendency

as the price is most, unsatisfactory.

Feeding operations continue on a lib-

eral scale. The opinion is general in

the grain trade that corn and oats

prices are down to hard pan.


SEEDS


Since the low prices for seeds were

largely due, to lack of conﬁdence and

to the sharp decline in all grain mar-

kets, partial correction of these condi-

tions produced a slight upturn in the

market for timothy and clover seed.

Growers are selling. sparingly but

seedsmen will continue to buy only in

small quantities as long as the outlook

remains uncertain and money contin-

ues tight. Prices on December 4 were

{ Toledo—1919 prime red

prime timothy $3.45; 1919 prime alsike

$16; 1920 prime alsike $16.25.


»* FEEDS


Practically all kinds of by-product

feedstuffs declined during the past

week. Bran was marked down most

severely. Fairly liberal stocks, with

an increase in wheat feed production

and continued absence of demand were

the factors responsible. Latest quota-

tions per ton (100-lb bags) in carlots

are: Chicago-Bran $36; standard

middlings $36; ﬂour middlings $42;

cottonseed meal, 41 per cent $42; cot-

tonseed meal, 36 per cent $37; gluten

feed $45; hominy feed $42; old‘process

oil meal $54; tankage $75.85.


Detroit—Bran $41; standard mid-

dlings $41.; ﬂour middlings $51; coarse

corn meal $38; cracked corn $38; chop


$35 per ton.

HAY


Increasing receipts with buyers re-

maining out of the market because of

reduced requirements and prices which

are high compared with concentrated

feeds have resulted in a dull and drag-

gy hay market. Heavy shipments are

expected from the far west and also

from the southwest.


WOOL


So far as the American grower is

concerned, the wool market remains

in parts unknown. Sales continue

abroad, but values remain low and up-

on tlie kinds of wool which middle

western growers produce most exten-

sively, the tendency still seems to be

downward. The ﬁne combing wools,

however, sell to fairly good advantage.

American buyers are taking part. of the

offerings in the Australian auctions.

the low rate of foreign exchange mak-

ing possible the importation of wool

into this country at a considerably

lower ﬁgure than is normally the case.

The latest, report from that country

states that some of the choicest Mer-

inos were bought by American buyers

as high as $1.28 clean landed basis.

These were the best combing 64-705

and sterling exchange was ﬁgured ‘at

$3.45. Super 700 brought $1.15@1.25

clean landed basis, Boston. Choice


warp 60c were bought to bring to this

country for about 900 clean landed

basis. Some South American wools

which are of comparatively low grade

have been purchased to bring to this

country at extremely low prices. Very

little of the wool held by the state

wool pools has thus far been sold.


EGGS AND POULTRY


Poultry and egg prices hold at a

proﬁtable level. Values for the former

were slightly easier the last week.

The U. S. Bureau of Markets report

BUTTER


Butter markets appear not to have

hit bottom yet. Under—grades were

meney losers as storehouses refuse in

many cases to make further loans and

sales are often forced. Fresh butter

receipts Were lighter this week than

last, fortunately, or the decline in

prices might be more severe and the

losses heavier. The storage situation

grows worse each day, particularly for

those holding poor faulty butter. Dan-

ish offerings were heavy in New York

this week, with two more cargoes in.

Closing prices on 92 score butter on

December 3 were_ as follows: Chicago

50c; Philadelphia 541/20; New York

511/2c; Boston 520.

of the, prizes. however, fell to the im«

Donerail, Ky., and J. N. Camden, Ver-

sailles, Ky. The yearling ewe class

numbered twenty-ﬁve. The champion-

ships and the flock prize were won by

Camden. This ﬂock entry was probably

the most remarkable aggregation of

Hampshire individuality ever brought

together in an American show yard.

up to International standards, the most

were giving out the information that

hay was scarce and their views were

of the hay going into the terminal mar-
