OUNTRY life must be raised out of the

monotony. It is not enough that. a

farmer should be able to make money.

His life should be personally satisfactory,

according to a statement by the American

Farm Bureau Federation, made after a very

exhauStive review of existing conditions.

,The new farm life will provide for better

wages ;' better distribution of wOrk and work-

ing heurs;7educational advantages will be

improved; disagreeable tasks will be largely

eliminated by up-to-date methods; steps will





hours than the ruralist—but he consumes

more time in going to and from his work.

The farmer lives out among the hills and the

meadows—the city man exists in the crowd-

ed fleshpots. The farmer gets his rent either

free or at cost-the city man pays a fee

large enough to cover the profiteering of

both property owner and rental agent.



The farmer may have a crop failure on

account of weather conditions—but the city

chap often loses his job Without even a

cloud or a weather report to warn him of





bustle of the metropolis, but competition for

individual prestige and advancement is less

keen in agriculture than in other industries.



The fact that farm labor is scarce, with

wages higher than ever before, makes it

possible for the young man who is agricul-

turally inclined to start on the road to inde-

pendence. With an equal amount of energy

and enthusiasm, starting without education

or training, he can get his name on the bank

directorate via the agricultural route quicker

than by Michigan avenue, Broadway or W’all





street.



We hear a great deal about high wages in

the city :but little is said concerning the

liability side of the worker’s personal ledger.

The net balance is the only

basis upon which to com-

pare the income of the city

the impending danger and frequently the in-

elements. The farmer may obtain his food





be‘taken to furnish recreations and amuse-

ments; the ’social side of rural life will re-

ceive more attention than formerly.

Althdugh the world’s immediate need for

food is indeed serious, a

broad consideration of the

prbblem involves the matter

of popularizing agriculture

and country life for all time

to come. Such a movement,

if it is to be effective, must

be conducted unselfishly,

giving due consideration to

each and every group and

clat'ss that make up our na-

tion.

Furthermore, it must be

conducted along construc-

tive lines. We must inter-

est ourselves with putting

rural life on a more attrac-

tive and higher plane rather

than deprecating the real

attractions of other society.

It is up to the farmer in-

dividually and collectively

to boost his business. Agriculture must be

advertised. The American public must be

sold on the business of farming. We need

more rural literature. Very little rural at-

mosphere can be discovered in'popularvfic-

tion, histories, biographies or text books.

There are very few real advantages of the

city that cannot be brought to the ruralist,

but the basic fundamental advantages of

free life in God’s open country can never be

transplanted into the city except to a Very

limited degree. For every advantage of the

city there. are c0rresponding advantages of

the cOuntry. For every disadvantage of the

farm there are innumerable drawbacks to

urban existence. . -

The city worker gets more money than

the-farm laborer. He likewise spends more.

The city man works a fewer number of





direct from the soil. In the case of the city

dweller, the simple act of food distribution

is infinitely more complex and expensive

than the basic process of production itself.



Life in the country fosters individualism.

The urbanite is merely a cog in the wheel.

The city man is only one of the masses—

the farmer is received by his fellow-farmers

on his merits as a man.





Country life makes for physical and moral





strength—the city is the graveyard of our

national physique.



In the final analysis, the farmer has the

upper hand. Agriculture is the most stable

of all industries. Wars may devastate, pan-

ics may bankrupt, markets may become stag-

nant, but the farmer continues to live more

or less as usual. '





Country life may lack some of the zip and,





worker to that of the farm-

er. It is doubtful if there

is a city anywhere where a

man can secure room rent,

food and’ laundry for less

than $17 a. week. Thus the

bare necessities of life cost

him at least $68 each month.

To this must be added the

expense of ultra fine cloth-

ing, continual effort to find

extreme amusement and the

high cost of just being a

“good fellow.”



No other line of human

endeavor offers an opportw

nity for such broad personal

development as does agricul-

ture. By the very nature of



things, the farmer is independent—Ale must

depend upon his own effotrts~he must be

versatile, self—reliant, adaptable—~he must be

a naturalist as well as a business man.



In the new era of agriculture-there will

be innumerable openings in the line of spe-





cial occupations and professions requiring a





basic knowledge of agriculture and country

life such as soil experts, plant doctors,

health experts, pruning and spraying ex-

perts, forest specialists, drainage and irri~

gation engineers, recreation instructors, mar-

ket experts, etc. These conditions‘and op

portunities hold out an inducement to the

young man who is considering his life work,

which should not be passed over lightly,

especially if he was born upon a farm and

has the fundamentals of an agricultural

training.

CURRENT COMMENT

ANY breeders of





" pure-bred live



Recl’r‘? stock are complaining

Assocration of an increase in fees

Service charged by several





r e c o r d associations

for recording pedigrees. Some of: these

men have entirely lost sight of the fact

that the mission of the modern live

stock pedigree record association has

materially expanded during recent

years. The old-time practice of ac-

cepting the breeders money and in the

course of time Sending him a certifi-

cate of registry and an occasional herd

book failed to maintain the relative

popularity of the different breeds and

properly present their special adapta-

bility to the various types of American

farming.



The mere keeping of pedigree rec-

ords is but one of the many lines of

work conducted by the modern record

association. Now every effort possible

is made to get and maintain a personal

contact with the men who are working

with the breed. The officials of the

record association spend a large por-

tion of their time in the field visiting

leading farms and addressing state and

county breeders’ association meetings.

Very few breeders question the wisdom

of this policy. Expert fieldmen are

employed to visit breeders and explain

the work of the associations in the

recording of pedigrees, the conducting

of public sales and the organization of

state and county breeders’ organiza-

tions. Thousands of dollars are spent

each year in various kinds of publicity

matter. And above all the good work

of these organizations in protecting

the health of our herds and flocks is

worth more to the breeders of the

country than the entire sum that it

costs the breeders to maintain them.

In handling such diseases as tubercu-

losis and contagious abortion the lead-

mg cattle record associations have per-

formed a service of incalculable value

to breeders of registered cattle.





The educational value of the differ-

bnt record association publicity matter

payment of higher registration fees is

the only way that charges for such

business of breeding pedigreed live

of the reasons why some of our rec-

ever, fail to indicate any desires in the

as has happened in the past, men may

be written in on the spaces below. The

results of this straw vote will be sent

back to all counties in time so that

they may be presented to the various

county conventions, February 7, when

delegates to the state republican con-

any candidates, but intends merely to

act as an agency that will permit the

taken off sixteen sheep and sold



recently in an interior town for

four cents per pound. The owner had

hoped to realize more, and yet there

was no established market. He should

have realized at least twenty-five cents

per pound; but he was one of a great

many others who received this blow

~because of national and international

conditions which every wool grow'er

ought to know.



During the war the wool from Aus-

tralia and New Zealand was taken over

by the English government, but owing

to lack of shipping was not extensively

moved. One may well wonder why,

with the war ceasing in 1918, that the

wool market held up strong until in

June, 1920. This is explained by the

fact that English guarantee of wobl

will not cease until June of 1921, and

the grdwer of the southern hemisphere

will realize considerable above pre-war

prices. This aggregate of wool is var-

iously estimated but probably is in the

neighborhood of two billion pounds,

with still more to follow from the

antipodes. This endrmous aggregate

of wool is offered in parts at auction

from time to_tin1e and if offers are not

satisfactory the wool is withdrawn .



Now the scene changes to the United

States where we had around fifty mil-



’ lion pounds of nondescript wool. This

was the rag-tag and bobtail of the

United States holdings and was very

undesirable. These offerings were

made by auction this last summer

about the time carload offerings of

wool would ordinarily be moving. The

prices offered seemed ridiculously low

at the time. There was at this same

time a large amount of war fabrics be-

ing marketed and cancellations of fab-

rics made by the mills on orders, com-

menced to come in. The morals of

these cancellations is one of the trade

questions on which the outsider is not

always well poSted. But there are sev-

eral bits of information well worth re-

membering. High-priced wool and dyes

had invited lighter weight fabrics and

when possible more of shoddy was

used. The tailors claim that these

grades of goods were put over in some

cases with the assurance of a great

shortage and that these grades must

be taken or nothing.



The wool mountain in England’s

hands and the untimely offerings of the

United States. holdings seems to have

been the occasion of the market’s dis-

appearance. On the whole, the United

States government precipitated what

the English government did not plan

to happen, and to make matters worse

there was no tariff to prevent imports

into the United States.



In Australia it was not necessary for

the English government to actually buy

all the wool, but could simply make

up the difference in the price guaran-

tee. When the break came it was to

the advantage ’of England to have a

difference in exchange. When an Amer"

ican importer would buy a draft for

one pound sterling (at par $4.86) in





United States money, he would get this





pound draft for around $3 40 to $3. 60

and when sent to Adelaide for wool he .

was paying somewhere near the gov-

ernment g u a r a n t e e d price. This





_ amounted to around eleven cents per





pound for the Australian wool in the

grease as measured in the gain of our

money when sent abroad.



If we had a tariff of eleven. cents

tions is very moderate, in fact, only

I h B S' '

ICHIGAN produces more beans production for the United States for





than any other state except Cali-

fornia, but grows more white beans

than all other states combined. Only

a few per cent of the Michigan crop is

of the colored varieties while a large

portion of the California crop consists

of limes, red kidneys, and other varie-

ties outside of the white pea beans.

One of the difficult things to under-

stand is the marked decline in price

of beans in connection with the greatly

reduced production.



The United States crop in 1918 was

17,397,000 bushels. The production

dropped to 11,488,000 bushels in 1919,

and the 1920 crop is estimated at 9,-

364,000 bushels by the United States

Bureau of Crop Estimates. At the same

time, the price dropped from $7.60 per

bushel on December 1, 1918, to $4.20

per bushel on the same date in 1919,

and to $2.30 on December 1, 1920, in

Michigan. While a decline in sympa-

thy with the falling prices of all other

products might be expected, it would

hardly be expected to exceed that of

other crops in the face of the unusual

the last five years, and Michigan prices

on December 1 for each of those years.

As a comparison the prices of wheat

and potatoes, the chief food competi-

tors of beans, are shown on the same

chart. The price of wheat is now

eighty-tWo per cent of the price paid

three years ago, while beans bring

only thirty percent of the price at that

time. Potatoes on December 1 brought

eighty—eight per cent of the price three

years ago.



The bean crop was not only the larg-

est in 1918, but the imports exceeded

the exports by about two million bush-

els. In 1919, the excess of imports over

exports was about 1.100.000 bushels,

and in 1920 it is understood that the

imports have been still less.



The only plausible explanation of

the extraordinary slump in price in the

face of a greatly reduced production is

that considerable quantities were can-

ned or otherwise stored during the war

period, and that this surplus is now

being used. If this be true, the de-

mand should improve when this sur-

plus carry-over is sufficiently reduced

and. when the canner manufacturers

resume buying.

wo1th 1.6 cents. Prior to the war Ger-

many was a great user of wools, in

fact, would use one~third of the Aus-

tralian clip. EurOpe alsa used the

coarser wools from South America. The

lack of purchasing power of continent-

al Europe precluded them from the

market and turned these coarse wools

to the United States. There is in the

hands of the alien enemy custodian

funds of at least $500,000,000 available

as a. basis for credit to Germany and

Austria. To put it plainly, this money

could have been used to send wool to

those countries and accept future pay-

ments if made, and if not, charge this

fund against the unpaid credits, but we

are still at war legally and no move-

ment made to create a market.



In the meantime England’s wool

holdings are sent to Germany, financed

by Holland and probably England as

well. The German workman getting

twenty to fifty marks 21. day is working

up this wool and it is already appear-

ing as fabrics and sold below our mar-

ket prices. This is being worn by op-

eratives in large plants because it is

being paid for in England where our

$3.64 pays for $4.86 worth of goods. We

are still supporting that great English

wool aggregation of guaranteeing to

the wool growers something above pres

war prices Those two and a half mil-

lion bales 01 wool in l1ngland ale not

being diminished because the govein-

ment does not cease until June 30, 1921.



These conditions from the adminis-

tration’s standpoint did not seem suffi-

ciently bad for the wool grower when

he had consigned his wool at the east-

ern seaboard and received advances

from commisison merchants. Refunds

were asked or the wool must be sold.

The western wool grower sought his

banker, who told him that he would

gladly renew his loans, but the Federal

Reserve Bank through which he must

secure currency for his paper had ad-

vanced the rates and was refusing any

further discounts. The man who sold

his wool for four cents per pound may

now see that he is a part ofa great

world stage and that the wool play is

a tragedy when played alone.



The Michigan wool pool of the farm

bureau was planned by men who felt

that collectively they could best meet

unfortunate conditions. There is a fu-

ture for the wool and sheep industry.

If the emergency legislation fails now

it will be enacted early next summer.

Under normal conditions there is no

over-supply of wool. As soon as the

purchasing power of the people recup-

erates, with it comes confidence and

wool will be in demand at or above

pre-war prices.

supplies which represents approxi-

mately one per cent of the wool grown





in the United States, and preparing for '





storing that of 1921. ‘

There are approximately 18,000 W001

owners who have contributed to the

Michigan pool, which is about one-half

of the state’s fleece wools. The actual

Opz‘zmz'ym Prevails

HE live stock producer’s case is

not as bad as it might be, there

are brighter days ahead, and if

he takes not his hand from the plow,

he will find business conditions read~

justing themselves and the furrow be-

hind him springing up with the ver-

dure of prosperity as before. This is

the spirit of members of the Michigan

Improved Live Stock Breeders’ and

Feeders’ Association which, along with

the fifteen allied breeding organiza-

tions held its annual meeting at M. A.

C. last Week Wednesday and Thursday.

January 12-13.



Growers of live stock were advised

to stick to diversified farming as the

safest plan, to observe the utmost econ-

omy and_at the same time to increase

the efficiency of their industry through

the elimination of the scrub sire, the

eradication of tuberculosis and improv-

ed methods of marketing. The business

readjustment may not come immedi-

ately, they were told, but in the mean—

time the industry may be so' reorgan-

ized that when the turning point ar-

rives it will be in a position to reap its

just return.



Dean Robert S. Shaw, head of the

agricultural division at M. A. 0., sound‘

ed the keynote in the opening address

of the general session when he stress-

ed the necessity for avoiding special-

ization. “My suggestion would be this,"

said Mr‘. Shaw. "Produce a. variety of

staple farm products to feed the people

and to be used for the manufactures

of the world. It is a bad time to spe-

cialize. We need a balancing rather

than an unbalancing. General or di-

versified types of farming will‘be saf-

est in the near future.”



Dean Shaw then cited as examples

of possible plans of action, four and

five-year rotations of crops, calculated

to stimulate the production of live

stock and reduce the overhead expense.

On an average farm of. one hundred

and sixty acres, such as his own, he

advised a herd of perhaps ten dairy

cows, from two to four brood sows,

about fifty hens, and sheep if the farm-

er preferred to raise them. This plan

he declared, would make for safety of

investment, economy of labor, efficiency

in distribution and maintained fertility

of the soil.





TEPS aimed completely to stamp

out tuberculosis from Michigan

herds were taken by the association as

a whole when it accepted the report

of the reselutions committee recom-

mending that the legislature be urged

to pass a law requiring all cattle offer-

ed for public sale to be tuberculin

tested. Some members were in favor

of extending this provision. to include

a general survey of the tuberculosis

situation with examinations of all the

herds, but this idea was rejected on

account of the expense it would in-

volve. ~

The move to free the slate altogeth-

er from losses of cattle by tuberculosis

was urged, both by H. R. Smith, com-

missioner of the Chicago Live Stock

Exchange, and A. J. Glover, editor of

Hoard’s Dairyman. It had the strong

support of H. H. Halladay, newly elect-

ed president of the parent association;

of H. W. Norton, field secretary for the

Holstein-Friesian association, and

others. '

Herbert E. Powell, of Ionia, retiring

president, raised the point that the

law as suggested would affect chiefly

those farmers forced to sell hurriedly

and thus work undue hardship, but in

answer others argued that no great

progress is made without working

Some inconvenience to individuals and

that in this case the benefits would

far outweigh any individual hardship.





S for the movement to eliminate"





the scrub size, a resolution drafted?





by a. committee composed of represent:

atives from each of the allied associa-

tions urged a. law working toward this

end. To further the passage of such





an act the secretaries of all the Sepu





arate bodies were appointed a com«

mittee. ,



Another method by which breeding

Stock may be placed on a higher level

was suggested by W. L. Houser, presi~

dent of the Wisconsin Live Stock

Breeders' Association, who described

the project planned in his state where—

by the association is undertaking to

replace all grade sires with pure-bred

animals, trading on a. fifty-fifty basis.

Demonstration trains will be used to

bring about the eichanges, it is ex-

pected. This project came into being

after a census carried on through

school children revealed that more

than half of the sires used in the state

were scrub bulls.





That it is “up to" the present owners

of pure-bred stock to aid their neigh-

bors in raising the quality of their own,

for the good of the industry in general,

was also expressed by Mr. Glover and

L. W'hituey Watkins, of Manchester,

member of the state board of agricul-

ture.



“We must aim for good animals, free

from disease,” said Mr. Glover. “We

must do this by eliminating the poor.

Those men already established in the

business should help the beginners to

start with good cattle. The real object

should not be money. It should be to

raise the standard of living in the

country through increased efficiency

and cooperation.”





Mr. Glover also ridiculed the idea. of

attempted price-fixing on a cost plus

basis. “We need farm accounts,” he

said. “We need to know the cost of

production, not to obtain a price that

is cost plus, but to adjust the activi-

ties of the farm. I‘am not worrying

about the people on the land. If a.

great many are going to the cities it is

a Sign that there are too many in the

business of producing food. On the

other hand, when men out of work are

starving in the cities, 3. man on the

land is fortunate. But these things

will adjust themselves 'to the fluctua-

tions of business conditions."





MICHIGAN market for Michigan



beef was the chief point of Mr.

Watkins’ remarks. He also favored

diversified farming during the emer-

gency, but urged that the inefficiency

of cross-shipping be eliminated so that

the farmer himself and not the middle-

man may receive the return for his

efforts. ,



“Why “should we ship east when we

have the fourth largest city in the

United States in the state of Michi—

gan?” said Mr. Watkins. “At present

eighty-five per cent of Michigan live

stock is killed outside the state, while

from a. half to three—fourths of the meat

consumed is shipped in. ‘But we may

fail,’ is the cry. That is true, but we

, F-you will glance at the accompany-



! ing map you may become alarmed,

and rightly you should. .Each X in-

dicates a flock from which tubercular

fowls have been sent to us .for exami-

nation and diagnpSis. If you will ob-.

serve, closely you will not-ice that of

all the counties in the southern half of

the lower peninsula only a half dozen

have not yet sent in to us tubercular

fowls. And you will also notice that

Ingham-county shows a total of nine-

teen infected flocks.

This does not indi-

;cate that there are





'more tubercular H ,

fowls in Ingham coun- ”L.‘ F’ m.

ty than in any of the ...... ... if!

others. The proba- ‘ ’ '

bility is there are





as many, if not more,



tubercular flocks in someof the

other counties. Ingham is more

accessible to the college and ‘it is

much more convenient for her

poultrymen to send in hens for .

examination than for those living

more distant. The fact that we

have not found the disease in

many flocks from. the northern

half of the lower peninsula, or in

flocks of the upper peninsula, does





not indicate that the disease is I





not prevalent in either of these





sections. The truth of the matter (





is, we very seldom receive fowls \ _





from those parts of the state for

examination for any disease.



With each hen brought or sent

in we usually get the following in-

formation from the owner concerning

the disease in his flock: “During the

past three or four months I have been

losing hens. A few die off each week.

Only the old hens seem to be affected.

As yet none of the pullets have died.

The fowls gradually become sick, sit

around a good deal, some become lame,

others dev‘eIOpa diarrhea, but all grad-

ually waste away, their combs and

wattles tur_n pale and finally they die.

Usually their appetites remain fairly

good until a few. days before the end.”



We examine the fowl, and this is

what we commonly find: The liver

usually is somewhat enlarged and cov-

ered with yellowish white spots that

vary in size from a mere pin point to

nodules as large as a pea. The spleen,

Which lies directly beneath it and is

ordinarily as large as a small cherry,

is also greatly enlarged and covered

with nodules similar to those on the

liver. Along the intestines we may

find nodules as large as pin heads, or

even as large as marbles. Frequently

upon opening the joints of the legs we

find a cheesy deposit in the joint cav-

ities. At other times we find nodules

in other parts of the body. In fact, we

have found them in almost all parts of

the body, even on the skin. Upon mak-

ing a microscopic examination of these

nodules we almost always find the

germ causing tuberculosis. _



The poultry raiser then wants to

know how his hens contracted the dis-

ease and how he is to get rid of it. It

is diflicult to answer the fire question



\ correctly, and painful to us to answer

the second. The first question is diffi-

cult to answer correctly because there

are So many ways "possible for a hen

to contract the disease, but it is usu-

ally safe to say that she contracted it

from, another hen that already had it.

Assuming that you have a healthy fleck

today,‘ how may you get tuberculosis

in it? By any one of, the following



. methods: By buying and adding to



your-noes.» a cockerel or a hen that

ems " an" cote





 





lastly, by purchasing eggs for setting

which have been laid by infected hens.

This latter method is not very import-

ant, however. There are other ways

hens may become infected with tuber-

culosis but there needs to be more ex-

perimental work done to prove just

how important they are.



For instance, it is thought that the

feeding of milk from tubercular cows,

or the allowing of hens to feed in the

droppings of tubercular cattle and hogs,





. .

or the feeding of uncooked garbage in

which may be tubercular meat scraps

or sputum from tubercular people,

may be very dangerous practices. Also

it is believed that sparrows and pig-

eons affected with the disease may

bring it to a healthy flock of hens. But

even though all these latter sources of

infection should be looked upon as be-

ing very dangerous we should not lose

sight of the fact that probably more

fowls contract the disease by being

brought in contact with others affected

with it than contract it in any other

way.



We stated that it is a painful task

to tell a poultryman how to get rid of

this disease. It is so because we real~

ize that the methods we must recom-

mend for him to pursue may mean the

undoing of several years’ effort at con-

structive poultry breeding and a con-

siderable financial loss. Our recom-

mendations are usually these: Go

through the whole flock, pick out all

sick or emaciated birds, kill and burn

them. Kill and pick the others. When

you get ready to draw them have your

local veterinarian come in and inspect

the internal organs for signs of the dis-

ease. All those shOwing eVidences of

the disease should be burned at once

and the healthy ones may be used for

food. The next recommendation is to

thoroughly clean the hen coop.- Re-

move all the litter and loose boards.

Scrape the floor if it consists of boards

and be sure to remove the litter from

between them. Next, make up a strong

solution of any reliable coal-tar disin-

fectant and apply it with an orchard

spray pump if possible. If such an im-

plement is not to be had, apply the

solution with a brush, keeping in mind

that the application of, the disinfectant

does no good unless everything is first

cleaned thoroughly and unless the

floors, walls, roosts and dropping

boards are ‘literally drenched with the

liquid. If the floor is dirt, remove the

top three inches and replace ‘ it with

fresh‘soil. After this is done rake up

the litter in the yard and haul it, with

A. F. Lever, member of the Federal

Farm Loan Board, ant-congressman, and

father of a great deal of the country’s

most important agricultural legislation.

ranks high among the speakers who

will address the general meetings of

the week. No one is better qualified





. than Mr. Lever to discuss agricultural





questions of the day, and it is certain

that he will bring keenly interesting

suggestions to Michigan farmers. Mr.

Lever styles himself the father of the

county agricultural agent system, and

the “grand-daddy” of the farm bureau.

both of which titles are generally ac-

corded him.



Dean Eugene Davenport, of Illinois

University, leading thinker and writer

on agricultural subjects, will talk on

“Agriculture in Reconstruction,” at one

of the general meetings. Dean Daven-

port fills very few 'speaking engage-

ments, because of the pressure of his

work, and consented to ' talk at the

Coming conference only because of the

fact that Michigan. is his native state

and M. A. C. hiscollege Alma Mater.

The big general meetings. at which

all Farmers’ Week visitors will gather,

will be held in the afternoons and evo-

nings. The mornings will. be given

over to special association meetings

soy beans compare with fodder corn

Wayne Co. J. W. S.



Down south, in Maryland, for in-

stance, Crimson clover is grown al-

most universally, like common Red

clover herein this latitude. It is sown

in the fall of ‘the year and the next

spring it starts early, grows rapidly

and matures a crop. It is not a safe

plant to grow in this climate. It win-

tog-kills. I‘ have tried it on my own

farm and only a few? plants in the

whole field survived the winter. I doubt

if Crimson clover is a better plant in

its own latitude than Red clover is

here, and can see no reason for trying

to s'ubStitute crimson clover for Red.



The seed, of course, can be sown

early in the spring before freezing and

thawing is over with, just the same

as you do our Red clover.



Sudan grass belongs to the sorghum

family. It is a vigorous grower and

will yield an immense amount of fod-

der in a favorable year, which corres-

ponds in feeding value closely to our

timothy. As a rule, live stock do not

like it as well as they do our timothy

hay. -It would not be a very good crop

to put in a silo. On account of the

hollow stems containing air, there

would be excessive fermentation al-

though if it is put in green enough and

moisture enough is present, itwill

make into silage.



Sugar cane makes a very good fod-

der to feed green or to cure dry like

corn, but it is not superior to our corn

and its natural home is in the south.

I would much prefer to plant corn to

feed as a green food or as dry-cured

fodder.



Soy beans can scarcely be compared

to fodder corn in feeding value because

soy beans are very much richer in

protein than the corn plant. They are

splendid foods to supplement each

other in a ration.



If you raise Sudan grass it is best

to sow it broadcast and quite thickly

so that the stalks will not be too

coarse. ,



Sorghum grown for feed should be

planted in drills and cultivated and

then either fed green or put into a silo

or it can be bound up into bundles and,

cured as we do corn.



Soy beans can: be sown broadcast

and harvested for hay much the same

as ydu would clover hay, but you can

get larger yields if you sow in drills

twenty-eight inches apart and culti-

vate. If you sow quite thickly in the

drill they will not get so coarse but

what, sown in this way, they can be

made into hay. C. C. L.





WETTING COAL.





 





What benefit, if any, is received by '





wetting down soft coal and keeping it;

wet for use in house furnace? If there

is a benefit or loss resulting from this

practice, please say which, and if a

benefit is secured in heating the house,

tell me how wet the coal should be

when used and how much benefit is

secured.—-Subscriber.





It is not advisable to wet down coal

in a very large pile, as the water caus-

es gas which will ignite and‘ cause a

slow-burning fire and one that is very

hard to stop. V ‘





No doubt if the coal is very dry. it

would pay to put a few hundred pounds

in a pile by itself and pour water on it

twice a day. This would make the coal





slower burning and in this way cause -

' more heat. The amount of water will .

'_ PPER PENINSULA grain grow-

ers hIVe a right to feel gratified.

A. L. Bibbins, secretary of the



Michigan Crop Improvement Assocla~



tion, writes me that the rye growers of



Luce county made a wonderful show-



ing at the International. He states the



prize winners as follows: Murphy and



Gomely, of Newberry, Luce county;





J. B. Thoriey, of McMilan; W. B. Stev-.





ens, of Newberry, and Henry Brown,





'of Newberry, all of Luce county. In

' addition to these Mr. John Dunbar, of





Rudyard, Chippewa county, Won prizes

in wheat, oats and field peas. Mr. Bib-

bins says it is the purpose of the Mich-





igan Crop Improvement Association.

. greatly to strengthen the work of the

' association in the upper peninsula, and.





that he hopes for a very bright future

in this territory. Of approximately five

hundred members of the association,

tw‘enty are in the upper peninsula.





Farm Bureau and Idle Land.





Last spring a committee was ap-

pointed by C. A. Bingham, secretary

of the Michigan State Farm Bureau, to

consider and report upon the problem

of our idle land situation in Michigan.

This report, signed by P. S. Lovejoy,

C. O. Sauer, of the University of Mich-

igan, and J. A: Doelle, of the Upper

Peninsula Development Bureau, is now





 





 





Clover Crap Yield's 5,746 lbs. Per Acre.





in the hands of Mr. Bingham, I under-

stand. I have seen a copy of this re-

port and note among its recommends;

tions, the following: “That the Farm





7 Bureau should ‘take official cognizance





(if the cut-over land situation,’ and is-

sue a. statement ‘setting out the lead-

ing facts, and calling upon the respon-

sible officials to develop adequate ac-

tion at once. The governor and legis-

lature should instruct the proper oili-

cials, says the report, to manifest a

greater activity in the following lines

of work: Immigration, forest fires,

land classification. It is recommended

that the farm bureau frame a bill ‘or

resolution “calling upon the Public Do:

main Commission for a. real investiga-

tion in all its important phases, and

for cocommendation-s the adoption of

which would create a workable policy

and machinery for its administration,

this report to be available for the con-

sideration of the public and the legis-

lature in 1922.” Thirdly, it is recom-

mended that the farm bureau should

anndunce its “determination to follow

up the situation so that, if stimulation

of existing agencies shall prove lnade~

quote, and if the investigations and re-

ports of the Public Domain Commis-

sion shall prove inadequate, that the

farm bureau will then cooperate with

all the interested organizations and in-

dividuals in the consolidation of offices

and agencies so as to secure a real pol-

icy and machinery for its effective ad-

ministration at the earliest moment.”

”The problem of our idle lands is ur-

should.be tackled at once.





It is expected that the establishment





of the new forestry department of the,





Michigan State Farm Bureau will as-

sist upper peninsula farmers, since it

Will assist the marketing of fence

posts, cedar cuttings, pulp-wood and

other forest products. The establish—

ment of this new department is stated

to have had its origin in the meeting of

county agents and farm bureau em-

cials at Marquette, November 24, 1920,

which pointed out that lower Michigan





farmers were paying forty-five to-filfty—





five cents each for fence posts and that

they could better be sold direct, .by pro-

ducers in the upper peninsula toxemi-

It is held.

that upper peninsula farmers can read-

ily furnish approximately one thousand

carloads of fence posts in a season, if

satisfactory arrangements can be made

and it is stated that the promise of

the creation of this service in the State

Farm Bureau was an inducement to

join for many upper Michigan farmers.

The new department will also assist in

the marketing of maple syrup and sug-

ar—native products of this region—it

is declared. The bureau plans the es-

tablishment of pools for the marketing

of logs, posts, grape and vine stakes,

pulp-wood, retort-wood and fuel, to

promote shipping in large quantities

with resulting economies. Assembling

points will be located throughout the

state. Advice as to cutting and cruis-

ing service for the benefit of members

are to be inaugurated, it is announced.

The department will also deal with the

problem of reforestation, marketing of

edible nuts, collection of tree-seed for

reforestation and land classification, it

is reported. The connection between

agriculture and the production of for-

est products has always been close in

this section of the state, where many

farmers devote their attention to tili-

age in the summer months and to work

in the‘woods in the winter season. It

was this circumstance that is said to

have led Chippewa county farmers,

years ago, to go into the business of

raising hay on a large scale, since hay

production left them free to devote

much of their time to forest pursuits

as a means of increasing the family

cash income.



The Ishpeming Toy Company is now

manufacturing. twenty-eight kinds of

toys, says the Daily Mining Journal, of

Marquette, and is shipping its product

to all parts of the United States~six-

teen thousand dollars worth between

August 17, 1920, when the first ship-

ment was made, and November 15.





Road Making.



A Sault Ste. Marie report states that

$125,000 will be spent on trunk-line

roads in Chippewa. county in 1921, if

the supervisors and voters approve the

request for this expenditure made by

the county board ,of road commission-

ers. This expenditure calls for a bond





issue and involves a total outlay of.





$715,000, the United States, state and

county making up the aggregate.



The Gogebic County Board of Super-

visors, at its meeting in Bessemer,

December 30, appointed a committee to

procure a fair grounds site and approv-

ed the purchase of thirty-five acres of

land at Little Girls’ Point, on the Lake

Superior shore, for a county park, and

took steps to secure e. state park and

forest reserve for Loire Gogebic.

We wish to call special attention to

the fact that Mr. Daniel Dean, of ‘New

York State, will be present and talk to

the growers of Michigan at the first

day’s session of this meeting. It will

be necessary for him to leave Tuesday

afternoon to attend another meeting,

therefore every grower who wishes to

hear Mr. Dean should be present at

the Tuesday forenoon session. Mr.

Dean is one of the largest and most

successful potato growers in the state

of New York. He is a. joint author of

a potato book and is a forceful and

convincing speaker. He tells his hear-

ers about potato growing from the

viewpoint of a real potato grower.



The arrangement of the program

with two foreno'on sessions was so

made to give those in attendance an

opportunity to attend the general ses-

sion of Farmers’ Week which will be

held in the afternoons and evenings.

Good speakers will be provided for all

sessions—C. W. WAID.





ILLEGAL INTEREST RATES





HE attention of the State Farm



Bureau has been called to in-

stances of “discounts” or “bonuses”

which were in excess of the legal sev-

en per cent rate of interest. A recent

decision of the Michigan Supreme

Court in a case involving a loan of

$300 for ninety days, renewed several

times, with interest at seven per cent

after maturity and on which the bor-

rower paid six dollars on the original

note and six dollars at the time of ev-





ery renewal as “interest” or “discount” .





which amounted to eight per cent in-

terest on the principal of the note, or

an amount in excess of What the state

law describes as legal interest, is in

point.



The twenty-page decision of the

court states that the loan (irrespec-

tive of the number of times of renew.

al) continued as one transaction until

paid, without reference to the number

of balances struck, and new notes giv-

en, until fully paid the borrower might

insist upon having past usurious pay-

ments legally applied as payments

against the principal of the loan.



The court stated that a note execut-

ed as a renewal of a note providing fer

usurious interest is itself tainted with

usury; that one who voluntarily pays

usurious interest may not maintain a

suit to recover it while one against

whom a usuri 5 contract is sought to

be enforced to y avail himself of the

state law on the subject as a defence.

The statue is available as a shield but

not as a sword. . ‘

The plan enables you to get immediate

delivery on a Titan 10-20, break it in thor-

oughly on belt work during the winter, get

some good tractor experience in the mean-

time, and be ready to jump into the rush of

spring work without a moment's delay.





The Titan 10-20 has led the three-plow tractor field for the last five years. Farmers

have bought over $70,000,000 worth of Titans. See the International dealer and

or cooperative association Working

alone cannot handle this proposition,

but declared if handled on a state-

- ~wide basis by experts it would be very

unlikely to fail.





George W." Dickinson, manager of.





the Michigan State Fair, outlined ways





in which he hoped the fair might bet- .





ter cooperate with the live stock men

in the future. Plans for a 'huge stock

pavilion, to be available for sales dur—





ing the year as well as at fair time, _





were described by him.

Resolutions as Adopted.





The report of the resolutions com- .





mittee, accepted in full, is as follows:

Your committee on resolutions beg

leave to offer the following report:

We, the Improved Live Stock Breed-

ers’ and Feeders of the state of Mich-

igan in executive session assembled,





endorse the recently organized Farm 2

Bureau and commend its action in mat- .

ters'pertaining to the live stock indus— ;

try of the state. We would urge the j





State and County Farm Bureaus to un-

dertake active live stock programs





leading to the elimination of the scrub. "





sire, the eradication of tuberculosis,

and the general upbuilding of the in-

dustry in this state, particularly along

lines of cooperative distributing and

marketing.



We endorse the very efficient work

of the animal industry commission and

the federal authorities in charge of tu-

berculosis eradication in Michigan and

urge upon the present state legislature

the necessity for liberal appropriations

for carrying on this work with the

greatest possible despatch during the

next two years. We feel that the bud

get as offered is inadequate to meet

the needs of the situation and that it

should be increased materially, as this

is a matter of great economic import-

ance. not only to the live stock breed-

ers. but to the commonwealth in gen-

eral. The low percentage of.tubercu-

lar cattle in Michigan as compared to

many of the other states is a strong

argument in favor of striking a decis-





ive blow at once and eradicating the '





disease while the loss will be at a

minimum.





We commend the action of the com- I

mission in requiring that all cattle ex-.





hibited at fairs be tuberculin-tested





and urge that this regulation be rigidly '





enforced.



We urge the passage of a suitable

law requiring that all cattle offered

for public sale be subjected to the tu-





 





berculin test, and further, that pay-

ment by the state of indemnity for tu-

bercular cattle be made only when such

' cattle have shown a reaction to the

tuberculin test when applied by a vet-

erinarian approved by the commission

of animal industry and provided that

such reacting animal has been brand-

ed with the letter T on the left jaw.



We do heartily approve of the pres-

ent dog law and feel that it should

make the sheep industry more inviting

in the future.



Whereas, from the information given

us at this meeting that tuberculosis

among cattle is a serious and costly

disease menacing human health as

well as the health of cattle, therefore

be it resolved that the association de-

clares itself favorable to more finan-

cial aid from the federal government

in its eradication, requesting our sena-

tors and representatives in congress

to aid in the acquiring of such finan-

cial assistance.





Whereas, that the importation of -





vegetable oil into the United States

and the importation of the raw mate-

rial from which such oils are made

has become a very seriOus menace to

the swine industry of the country in

replacing large quantities of lard, and



. also detrimental to the dairy interests

by replacing large quantities of dairy

products—therefore be it resolved

that this association declares itself un-

alterably opposed to the free admis-

sion into this country of such oils and

raw material for their manufacture and

that copies of this resolution be sent

to our United States Senators and to

each and every congressman from

Michigan, requesting them to use the

best efforts in support of a measure or

measures that will place an adequate

and 1easonable import duty on such

oils and raw materials.



. Resolved further, that our senators

and representatives in congress be re-

quested to support or introduce meas-

ures top place an adequate tariff on all

dair acts and on all meet and



- mum‘fmm nets to be imported into the

trail; and these conditions are very

deadly to any delusions that he has in

regard to himself. He acquires an abil-

ity to see just where he stands, and

of Course that means self-possession.

This quality had something to do with

the remarkable record that the moun-

tain men, such as that magnificent war-

rior from Tennessee, made in the late

war.



Cranston knew exactly what Snow-

bird would do.

order, she was a. mountain creature,

even as himself. She meant exactly

what she said. If he hadn’t climbed

from Dan’s prone body, 'she would have

shot quickly and very straight. If he

tried to attack either of them now, her

finger would press back before he

could blink an eye, and she wouldn’t

weep any hysterical tears over his

dead body. If he kept his distance,

she wouldn’t shoot at all. He meant

to keepv‘his distance. But he did know

that he could insult her without dan-

ger to himself. And by now his lips

had acquired their old curl of scorn.



“I’ll go, Snowbird,” he said. “I’ll

leave you with your sissy. But I guess

you saw what I did to him——in two

minutes.”



“I saw.’ But you must remember

he‘s sick. Now go.”



“If he’s sick, let him stay in bed—

and have a wet nurse. Maybe you can

be that.”



The lids drooped halfway over her

gray eyes, and the slim finger curled

more tightly about the trigger. “Oh,

I wish I could shoot you, Bert” she

said. She didn’t whisper it, or hiss it,

or hurl it, or do any of the things most

people are supposed to do in moments

of violent emotion. She simply said

it, and her meaning was all the clearer.



“But you can’t. And I’ll pound that

milksop of yours to a jelly every time

I see him. I’d think, Snowbird, that

you’d want a man.”



He started up the trail; and then

she did a strange thing. “He's more

of a man than you are, right now,

Bert,” she told him. “He’ll prove it

some day." Then her arm went about

Dan’s neck and lifted his head upon

her breast; and in Cranston’s plain

sight, she bent and «kissed him, softly,

on the lips.



Cranston’s answer was an oath. It

dripped from his lips, more poisonous,

more malicious than the venom of a

snake. His late calm, treasured so

much, dropped from him in an instant.

His features seemed to tighten, the

dark lips drew away from his teeth.

No words could .have'made him such

an effective answer as this little ac-

tion of hers. And as he turned up the

trail, he called down to her a name—

that most dreadful epithet that foul

tongues have always used to women

held in greatest scorn. 7



Dan struggled in her arms. The kiss

on his lips, the instant before, had not

called him out of his half-conscious-

ness. It had scarcely seemed real,





rather just an incident in a blissful .





dream. But the word called down the

Our Weekly Semah+By N. A.” McCuzze





0TH the old and the new testa-_





ments describe the kind of man



who is of greatest use to his fel-

low men. The good citizen is the man

we are hearing a good deal about, of

late. “Real Americanism” is heard on

the lips of public school teachers. The

good citizen is the man who has a re-

ligious background. Long ago, one

student of human affairs put it so:





Who ‘shall ascend into the hill of the

Lord, »



And who shall stand in his holy place?



He that hath clean hands and a pure

heart,



Who hath not lifted up his soul unto

falsehood,





- And hath not sworn deceitfully.





The man who keeps up that pace is

none too common even in our so-called

Christian times. This is a picture of

absolute honesty, with God and man.



Now, our Lord goes farther than the

prophets and teachers of the Old Tes-

tament. “Ye have heard it said, man,

eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,

but I say unto you—.” First, then,

Christ transfers the emphasis from

acting to thinking. This is revolution;

ary. Courts try men for what they ac-

tually do. The law kndws nothing of

thoughts unless they are expressed.

You may think all the criminal libel

you please, but as long as it is not put

into words, no legal action can be

brought against you. But Christ probes

into the thoughts. “As a man thinketh

in his heart, so is he.” And He is ab-

solutely right. Out of the heart are

the issues of life. The boy who reads

evil books, looks at salacious pictures,

is feeding his mind on garbage, and

garbage always gives off a stench. Did

not the chief of police of one of our

great cities recently issue an order

that there were to be no more scenes

of crime shown in the movie houses of

that city? One passage of the Old

Testament says we are to love the

neighbor. Another, to love the for-

eigner. Another, to love your servant.

But Christ commands us to love 'the

enemy.

among civilized races, a grave sin, fre-

quently punishable by death. But

Christ 'said that to cherish the thought

of it was equally bad. In short, the

Lord of Life says to the man who

would be of service to his generation,

he inust think right.





UT the socialized citizen must give

heed to another fact. He must val-



ue the person. People have worth.

One person, one tiny child, has worth.

A year ago, a little girl lay dying of

doluble pneumonia, in a Michigan city.

When the city health officer found her

she was unconscious, and could not

talk nor swallow. Her parents belong-

ed to some sect that would not permit

them to call a doctor. The health offi-

cer had no legal‘authority to do what

he did. but he summoned the chief of

police, and an ambulance, and took the

child to the hospital. .After four weeks

she was sitting up. The city, society,

valued thatxlittle girl’s life, apparently

more than her parents did. From the

standpoint of medicine, we are more

and more appreciating the worth of

humans. But on the commercial side

we have not advanced so far. Take

modern industry. The number of cas-

ualties each year is colossal. More





men and women are injured annually





than were injured in the Union Army

at Gettysburg. The great argument

against slavery was, that it appraised

men only by their bodies. A slave was

examined in the same way that one

examines a horse. And that is the in-

human side. of war. A man’s life counts

for little. ’ A minor engagement, in

which fifty men are killed, is spoken





of a “in attacking.





Immorality has always been,





Study of War,” that the Great War

ebst the unthinkable number of thirty-

flve million deaths, that European na-

tions lost nine per cent of their popula-

tions, it is apparent what war'does to

human life. Men are snuffed out. like-

gnats. In addition to -this, vast num-

bers of the living are left eyeless, limb:

less, nerveless. The greatest crusade

of the present generation will be

against war, and all its costs. The .





twentieth century must learn to ap-





praise life as Christ does.





T is surprising how humanity will



respond, once the opening is made.

The time was, when the great muse-

ums of London were not open to the

public. The theory was, that the ig-

norant and common folk would deface

the statuary, or mar the pictures. But

one Sunday the picture galleries and

museums were opened to all comers,

and a more quiet and orderly stream

of people was never seen, than the

stream of visitors who that day passed

through thOSe treasure-houses. It was

said for centuries that the black man

had no brains, no soul, and the like.

But when Livingstone died, in Africa,

a thousand ‘miles from the coast, those

faithful blacks embalmed the body, and

carried it to the coast, through hostile

villages, across rivers and over moun-

tains. S'uch lives are worthy of con-

sideratidn. The value that the Son of

God placed on human life, is not the

standard yet. But it must come to be

the standard. The socialized citizen is

the one who looks upon his fellow man

as of infinite worth. He will not try to

hire girls for his store at a wage on

which they cannot live decently, he

will not compel his factory operatives

to work with unprotectedmachinery,

that may any moment hurl one to

death, or leave him disfigured for life.



In a little spot near the wall of Muk-

den, in China, there is a grave. It is

the grave of a, young English doctor

who Went as a missionary, in 1910. One

day it was noised about that the pneu-

monic plague was coming from the

north. The death rate was one hun-

dred per cent. No man, woman or





. child attacked recovered. When China





heard this, she stood speechless with '

terror. Then Arthur Jackson left his

work, went to the railroad station in

Mukden, and erected a barrier between

the plague and the helpless masses of

Chinese. Day .after day he worked,

clad in oilskin boots, 3. white robe,

with a bag over' his head, and breath-

ing through a sponge. He visited ev-

ery incoming train, separated the dis-

eased and unsuspected, untilthe fatal

tide was stemmed. Then he discov-

ered in his own spitum the traces of

blood that told him the end was at

hand, and in a few hours the powerful,

Christlike life came to a close. They

buried him by night by the city wall.

The Chinese Viceroy came to the fun-

eral and made the principal speech.

Doctor Jackson was a socialized citizen

ANY housekeepers make a prac-

M tice of inventorying their linen

at this time of the year and take

advantage of the January white sales

to replenish their stocks of bed linen.

In these sales it is often possible to

purchase at a reduced price a. superior

quality of cotton which, when finished

with embroidery or crochet makes

handsome pillow slips.

As a change from the straight edge

on the pillow cases or day slips, the

needleworker who is quick at picking





up new ideas will like the two medal-



lion designs here shown. Both are



crocheted in squares, but one is set on



in diamond shape and the other in



squares. Materials required, No. 40



crdchet cotton and a No. 12 hook.

N rainy days the time may seem

O to go very slow on the farm but

often the boys and girls free from

outside duties can use the time for

much pleasure and profit. It is a great

help in school and in after years to

know how to write. The finest kind of

practice can be obtained from writing

friendship letters to the school friend

who has 'moved away to the city, or

the farm boy playmate who has moved

to another county. Learning to express

188 LO’UISE DEVERS, county

club champion in Wayne in 1919

in canning, has received some reward

for her tireless efforts which doubtless

many another girl will envy, for with

Miss Elda Robb, state club leader for





 





 





girls of the Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege, she enjoyed a trip to the Inter-

national Live Stock Show at Chicago.

Her parents, who live at Inkster, gave

her this trip because of the splendid

work she did last year when she can-

ned four hundred quarts of fruits and

vegetables.





 





 





ideas in friendship letters is a very

useful training whether the boy or girl

expects to live on a farm or take up

business life in a city. And ‘the letter

is enjoyed both by the writer and the

friend who receives it. And the answer

may help to cheer up some other rainy

day a few weeks distant.

the reading and obtain much of value

from good books. Those who skim

books may soon become sick of read—

ing and then the great rainy-day pleas:

ure soon becomes lacking in interest.



Rainy days are great for planning.

All boys have their dreams and plans

for the future. Some like to think of

being farmers. Others wish to be me-‘

chanics» or profeslenal men. Some

have no definite ideas but just like to

dream. Reading helps to bring new

thoughts. It often enables a boy to

plan his life work more definitely. A

boy who dislikes mechanics and math

ematics will not wish to be a civil en-

gineer. The boy who does like live

stock and things that grow may devel-

0p into the kind of farmer that likes

farming.



When a boy finds out the line of

work he likes best he can make rainy

days useful by learning a few things

about his work. Books about farming 4

may seem unattractive after a. hard

day’s work in the field. On the rainy

day they may be read with interest be-

cause the mind will be clear and not

dulled by long hours of physical effort

which make sleep so welcome at an

early hour.



Boys or girls gain little by trying to

force themselves to read books about

things. they thoroughly dislike. _- Too

many folks go through school and col-

lege forcing themselves to specialize

in things that some friend has advised

them to take. But if‘ they do not study

because the subject is attractive they

may not be successful in their line of

work. From this error come many of

the so-called square pegs in round

holes.



The boy or girl who can use the

rainy day in studying something that

they like may make that day more

profitable than any day of the week.

It saves a lot of wasted time when

boys can learn at an early age the

things that will help- them to steer a.

straight path forsOmething that is

worth more than the effort it costs.



It is a. lucky boy that has a work-

room and tools so the rainy day that

is not a school day can be Spent with

profit. Rabbit hutches, brood coops,

RIDDING FLOCKS OF THE “CON.”





(Continued from page 91).

which poultry do not have access. If

the flock is confined to small yards,

the g1 ound may be spaded up or plowed.



lV111e1e poultry have been kept undei

these conditions and where all of these

recommendations have been fully oom-

plied with, it may be safe to restock

in a week or two With hens from a

flock known to be free from the dis-

ease. But on the average farm where

the flock has free range, and where

the fowls may run under corn cribs,

barns, straw stack bottoms and sheds,

we have a far diffemnt problem. It is

not known how long the germ causing

tuberculosis may live in the dirt and

droppings in these dark places. Un-

less these places can be thoroughly

cleaned and disinfected the same as

the coop, pr unless the flock can be

kept from them it may not be safe to

restock for at least six months or a.

year.



Just before restocking, however, it

would be a good plan to whitewash

the interior of the coop with white

wash freshly prepared from quicklime.

The new deck should be provided with

feeding and drinking receptacles con-

structed so that the hens cannot get

their feet or droppings in them. The

coop should be cleaned and disinfected

frequently. Some advocate the prac-

tice of keeping over each year only the

pullets because it is usually the old

hens which first show evidences of the

disease.



A welluconstructed poultry house

provided with plenty of light and ven-

tilation. such as the one illustrated in

the December 1]. 1920; issue of the

Michigan Farmer, will do much to-

ward increasing the resistance of a

» flock against a. disease like tubercu-

losis. Such houses can easily be kept

clean and dry. Some recommend the

tuberculin test for picking out the dis-

eased birds but it is practical only in

. small flocks of high priced birds or in

the purchaSing of a single bird from

an unknown flock. Any veterinarian

can administer the test.

port for the educational institutions of

Michigan and more especially of the

Michigan Agricultural College in which

we are all interested because of its

usefulness to the agricultural inter-

ests of Michigan and to us as repre-

sentatives of that great industry.



Be it resolved, that this association

tender a. vote of thanks to the manage-





 





ment of the Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege for its kindly interest in our meet-'

ing and the splendid entertainment

that has made these meetings enjoy-

able and profitable.



The following resolution from a com-

mittee appointed by the various cattle

breeders' associations was also adopt-

ed:



Whereas, the continued use of scrub

and grade sires is a detriment to the

live stock industry and, whereas, many

pure-bred sires that should be utilized

for breeding purposes are annually

> slaughtered.



Be it resolved that this association

favor the passage of an act by the

legislature that will be a practical

movement toWa1’d the restriction of

the use ofscrub sires with the ulti-

mate elimination of such from a state.





And be it further resolved, that the





president appoint a standing commit-





tee to promote such legislation’





The committee was constituted as

WHEAT





A sharp upturn occurred in the

wheat market during the past week,

prices reaching the highest point since

early in November. Export buying con-

tinued fairly brisk during the early

days of the advance, even the British

government taking around two million

bushels, althouglrits purchases are us-

ually limited to periods when the mar-

ket is weak. On the closing session

of the week prices broke sharply and

large additional sales for expmt Weie

consummated. The continuation of ex-

port buying during January is consid-

ered especially significant as the move-

ment from Australia has started and

Argentine crop is ready for shipment.

Damaging rains have continued in Aus~

tralia. lndia continues to clear a little

wheat on previous sales, although fam-

ine is reported in the Bombay section

and the drouth remains unbroken.

Mill demand has been larger since the

first of the year. It is reported that

2,500,000 bushels of wheat have been

sold for export from the Pacific Coast

during the first ten days of January.





CORN



Receipts of corn at primary markets

during the first half of January were

the largest for the season in the last

five years. The strength in the wheat

market has supported the price of corn

and leading elevator interests are buy-

ing this grain as the cash price is

practically on a carrying charge basis

below the May delivery. Industries are

operating at about fifty per cent capa-

city and making moderate purchases.

Export sales have been surprisingly

large. Iowa, Nebraska Illinois and the

southwest have been selling most





freely.

OATS





Oats sold at a new low price on the

crop with very small fluctuations from

day to day. Demand is limited; the

supply at terminals is large, and the

crop is above the five~year average,

consumption including liberal exports,

whereas this year exports are a neg~

ligible quantity. The Argentine crop

is estimated at 60,000,000 bushels, or

10,000,000 bushels more than last

year. Much higher prices are unlikely

to arrive until along in the spring. The

barley market shows a little more





. strength, due to light receipts and a





better demand.

RYE.





Rye is a scarce article and exporters





_ j are paying practically the same price

. tor. rye. pound for pound, as they are,





 





for wheat. This market is likely to

follow closely any changes in the price

level for wheat.

SEEDS



Seed markets generally show a

strong undertone. The trade expects

an unusually big demand because' of

the low price, but tight money may

nullify any effect of this kind. Impor-

tations from France are likely to be

rather liberal Growers should find a

better market later on while consum-

ers may find a low spot or two before

spring upon which to buy.





FEEDS





Stocks of most feedstuffs are liberal

and pioduction of wheat and corn by-

pioducts is on the increase. Prices for

these have been on the easy side dur-

ing the past week, and linseed oil meal

also is a shade lower. The strength in

cotton markets is reflected in the mar-

ket for cottonseed meal which advanc-

ed slightly. It is probable that this

feed is close to the bottom, although

no pronounced upward trend is in pros-

pect. Lower freight rates from the

northwest has caused heavy shipments

of alfalfa meal and a fresh decline in





that feed.

HAY





Hay markets would respond better

if the Weather were less mild. Demand

from eastern and southern consuming

sections is limited. There is nothing

to ecnourage belief in a sharp advance

later on. .





BUTTER





The unsettled state of the butter

market continued during most of the

past week. The market turned for

thebetter briefly on the mid-session

but later on weakness developed. The

eastern markets received New Zealand

butter from the Pacific Coast and were

also disposed to await the arrival of

the cargo of Danish on the Frederick

VIII, due January 22 at New York.

Condensary offerings at Chicago were

also noticeable. The decrease in stor-

age stocks during December speaks

well for the rate of consumption, for-

mer Danish shipments are well clean-

ed up, storage butter withdrawals last

week were almost double those of the

preceding week, and it is still two





months before any Conspicuous in-

crease in production can be expected

in this country. Prices are down on a

materially lower basis than a short

time ago, so that retail trade is being

stimulated. However, as long as for-

eign offerings continue sharp advances

are unlikely to hold for any length of

time. ‘ The proportion of fancy butter

in the receipts was much smaller than

during the preceding week. Prices for

92 score fresh butter, as quoted by the

Bureau of Markets on January 15 were

as follows: Chicago 48 ’20; New York

52c; Boston 52c; Philadelphia 52c.





EGGS AND POULTRY





Higher prices for eggs resulted from

scarcity of supplies and cooler weather,

large advance sales for delivery. Poul-

try prices are lower under heavier re-

ceipts and the fact that prices are out

of line with other meats. Latest quo-

tations as follows: Chicago.——-Eggs,

fresh firsts 71c; ordinary firsts 64@

690. Poultry, spring. chickens 25c;

hens 28c; roosters 200; ducks 26@3lc;

geese 23@26c; turkeys 43c.



Detroit—Eggs, fresh candled 66@

26@28c; light hens 20c; roosters 18c;

geese 27@28c; ducks 33@34c; turkeys





38@40c.

CHEESE





Distributing markets for cheese were

quiet during the early days of the past

week following a sharp advance in the

country market. During the later days

of the week the market was firm with

the advance fully held. Eastern buy-

ers were active .in the Wisconsin mar-

kets, also Chicago, and were responsi-

ble for a part of the firmness. The

smaller styles. Longhorns, Young

Americas and Squares, are compara-

tively scarce and sell readily. Under-

grades have moved sluggishly, buyers

being in a' position to dictate prices.

Some export sales to England were





put through, particularly in , skim

cheese, and also some full cream

cheese. Receipts declined slightly.





The outlook is for higher prices dur-

ing the coming weeks. . ,

under the- auspices of the American

Farm Bureau Federation for the pur-

pose of studying the dairy problem

from a national standpoint, and which

meeting will probably select a comm1t-

tee similar to the grain marketing

commitee of seventeen appointed by

the American Farm Bureau Federation

several months ago for the purpose of

studying plans for the solution of dairy

. production and marketing problems in

S . a national way, in order that a spirit

"of complete cooperation may be devel-‘

oped and a thorough understanding

* had with reference to the true func'

tions of all who are engaged in the

production and marketing of milk and

milk products.



H. D. Wendt, of the Dairy Division

of the State Food and Drug Depart-

ment, addressed the delegates on the

problem of cream marketing for butter

making purposes, developing the point

that the industry, or more particularly



‘ the producer, was losing in the neigh-

borhood of three million dollars a year



. based on present conditions of hand-

ling or buying costs and on account of



the lack of quality in the major portion



of the creamery butter manufactured



in Michigan, and argued as a remedy



the pooling of cream by the producer



for the purpose of collective marketing



on a quality basis, pointing out that by



this method unnecessary duplication of



buying agencies might be eliminated



and the handling of this product on a



quality basis made possible.



Mr. Wendt further emphasized the

importance of improving the quality of

creamer butter, the lack of which he

asserted was the prime factor in the

constantly mounting consumption of

oleomargarine, thereby curtailing the

consumption of butter and slackening

the demand for the genuine article.



Milo D. Campbell, of Goldwater, pres-

ident of the American Milk Producers’

Federation, discussed the market or

fluid milk situation and emphasized

the importance of organization of pro-

ducers for marketing purposes.



R. C. Potts, of the Bureau of Mar-

kets of: the United States Department

of Agriculture, in addressing the dele-

gates, discussed fundamentals for the

solution of dairy marketing problems,

emphasizing the first essential was:



. 1. That there be an earnest desire



{ { on the part of the producers them-



‘ 1' ‘ selves. '



2. The employment of competent



managers by producers‘ organizations.



3. The availability and employment

of capital necessary to adequately

finance such plans as may be agreed

upon. .



4. The devising and putting into op-

eration of a practical plan of organiza-

tion which must meet all economic

conditions. '

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY 1920.





ICHIGAN again takes its usual

ducing state. The revision or the 1920



estimates has been completed by the

molest-turmoilthe‘mpor’t are that all

but five crops are above the average -





production, and that the value or the

state's crops on. December 1 was one

third-less than indicated on August 1.



The crops grown in Michigan during

1920 had a total value on December 1

of approximately twenty-five per cent

less than those of the previous year,

the estimates being $303,410,000 for

1920, and $406,107,000 for 1919. A ten-

tative estimate, based upon the crop

prospects and prevailing prices on

August 1, 1920, indicated a production

value of approximately $433,000,000, or

a considerable increase over the pre-

vious year. Since that time there has

been a marked decline in the price of

practically every farm product result-

ing in a reduction of net value amount-

ing to $150,000,000. The price of every

crop included in the quantitative esti-

mates is lower than one year ago, ex-

cept rye which is two cents per bushel

higher. With the exception, of oats,

peaches and pears the total value of

each crop is less than in 1919, and the

returns per acre are less for all crops

except oats and barley which shOWed

a slightly greater return for the year

just closed.



On the other hand, the cost of farm

labor was the highest on record. Men

for employment by the month or year

were scarce, and day labor was unob-

tainable in some sections. This condi-

tion, combined with a pronounced

movement ‘of men from the farms to

the city, resulted in a less acreage of

crops being grown and probably a

greater waste than during the previous

year. The acreage of principal crops

in 1919 was 8,765,000; in 1920, the

acreage of the same crops aggregated

8,378,000. Potatoes, sugar beets and

clover seed had an increased acreage,

corn and oats the same acreage, and

all others a less acreage than in 1919.



The yields of corn and hay were the

same as in 1919, while oats, barley,

buckwheat, potatoes and clover seed

showed increased yields per acre.

Wheat, beans, rye and sugar beets had

smaller yields than in the previous

year. The crops showing a greater

total production were oats, barley, po-

tatoes, clover seed, apples, peaches

and pears.



Compared with the average of the

last sixteen years, wheat, buckwheat,

hay and clover seed show a less total

production. All other crops were above

the average. In view of the extraordi-

nary conditions ‘under which farmers

have labored, this is a very creditable

showing and demonstrates the advan-

tage of diverse farming as generally

practiced in Michigan. The state ranks

twenty-first in land area and also in

amount of land in farms, yet for the

year just ended it ranks fourteenth in

the value of its crops.

What better time

than now, to plan

the barn that some

day WiII be yours?





Even though you may

not be certain that you

will build during this com-

ing season, you should

plan now, so that when

the time does come, you





. , can go right ahead with-





out delay and without

fear of mistakes.





Build on Paper First





Plan now that you may

have plenty of time to study

it over and make it an ideal

barn.



Be sure you have the right

amount of storage, enough light, air

space and ventilation; work-saving

arrangement for feeding, watering

stock and cleaning the stable; easy

handling of hay; right location of

barn for sunshine and cold winds.



Make certain that the barn is

correctly proportioned, individual in

appearance, a barn that is strong

and that will withstand all storme—

one that will add value to your farm.



You can have all this Without

extra cost.





You Save by Planning





What a barn costs depends in no

small degree on the care with which

it is planned in advance.



It is not uncommon to see one

man with the “know how” build a

barn at 20% to 30% less cost than

another, although the two barns

accommodate the same number

of cows.



The man who plans well in ad-

vance is the man who builds cheaply.



By having his plans completely

worked out and blue printed, he

can submit them to several con-

tractors, getting bids from each on

exactly the same proposition.



Then he can safely let the con-

tract to the lowest bidder.



Contractors and those supplying ma-

terials are held to exact requirements; sub-

stitution of inferior materials or workman-

ship can be prevented; wastes are avoided;

no excuse is given for expenSive “extras”;

and misunderstandings with contractors,

sub-contractors and workmen are unlikely.

James Barn Plans





To help our customers and others get

the best barns possible, we established the

Jamesway Barn Plan Service.



This is under the direct supervision of

Mr. W. D. James, leading dairy barn au-

thority. Architects of special experience

in planning, building and remodeling dairy

barns, a large force of skilled barn design-

ers and draftsmen, and barn experts in

charge of divisions of the field force, com-

plete the ofiice staff. 7



In the field are more than 60 men who

practicelly every day are advising on re-





 

 

 





modeling and other barn problems, draw-

ing preliminary plans and reporting on

new ideas and unusual conditions.



For years, Mr. James and these asso-

ciates have studied dairy barns—conStruc—

tion, lighting, ventilation, drainage, ar-

rangement to save labor; how best to re-

model old barns.



Every year they help to plan thousands





of dairy barns. Every year they visit'





thousands of dairy barns. The best barn

ideas everywhere come to their notice and

are tested out. '





The experience and help '05 these men '





is yours for the asking.
