, . National Tractor

National Show, which will be

Tractor held at Columbus,

Show Ohio, February 7-12,





inclusive, will hold

much of interest to a large number of

Michigan farmers. In addition to the

opportunity afforded to study and com-

pare all of the leading makes of trac-

tors, the daily programs from Febru-’

ary 8-11 inclusive has been fittingly

advertised as “A College Course in

Tractor Farming,” including as it does

lectures on a wide range of subjects

relating to the use and care of the

tractor by representatives of numer-

ous agricultural colleges, including M.

A. C., as well as experience talks and

discussions by practical farmers.



That the progressive farmers of



. Michigan are deeply interested in the

possibilities and economics of tractor

farming is fully proven by the large

number who have purchased tractors

and are using them on their farms.

“Then the Michigan Farmer made its

first tractor investigation in 1917 less

than one per cent of the farmers of

the state had made a practical trial of

the tractor. An investigationmade in

1920 indicated the ownership of 23,350

tractors on Michigan farms, which

means that. approximately twelve per

cent of the farmers of the state now

own tractors.



' The fact that Such a large percent-

age of the farmers of the state have

purchased tractors and in most cases

special tractor implements for use with

them, during the past three years, is

ample proof of the increasing popular—

ity of the tractor on Michigan farms

as well as a demonstration of the read-

iness of Michigan farmers to invest in

power equipment of this type as rap-

idly as they become convinced of .its

practicability. under their special con-

ditions. _



And it is in this relation that the

tractor show is designed to function.

The best known tractor authorities in

the country have been engaged to pre-

sent the best and most authentic infon

mation on tractor farming as applied to

varying farm conditions, thus giving

[the farmer who attends exceptional

opportunities to determine whether a

tractor would prove a profitable invest-

ment under his conditions.



Unquestionably the most impOrtant

factor in tractor economics is the fact

Leaders life‘ has three birth:





- places—the home, the

school and the church. Of these the

school is by no means Least in import-

ance, and because of the fact that

much of the inspiration to undertake

and to accomplish has its fountain in

our great school system, every citizen.

and especially eyery parent,~ should

watch With much solicitude the proper

development of our educational insti-

tutions. . '



fl‘he entire school system of the

state and nation is now facing a criti-

cal period. Thoughtful persons are

frequentlyasking whether or not the

schools will be able to meetthe de-

mands of the coming decades. In the

years immediately ahead the need for

capable and aggressive leadership will

be increasingly urgent and it will fall

very largely to these educational insti-

tutions to develop that leadership. In

the past the masters of affairs have

been chosen very largely from the field

of'action, but with the extension of

specialization this source of leadership

is becoming less and less fruitful and

society is depending more and more

upon'those trained in our schools.



From the standpoint. of our youth

the situation is encouraging. One great

educator remarked last week that he

had never seen so many serious-mind-

ed young men and women coming to

the halls of learning to prepare them-

selves for service. But with this fine

response on the part of the youth of

the land and the greatly enlarged de-

mand for their talents, it is now appar-

ent. that the facilities for training are

inadequate. In normal times the hand-

icaps were aplenty but with the dis-

turbance of teaching forces and the

cessation of building‘and repair work

during the war. the difficulties have

been multiplied manyfold. One has

only to visit any of the state’s educa-

tional institutions to have this fact

thoroughly impressed upon his mind.



Certainly this is the time for econ-

omy, but to what extent shall we mort-

gage our future civilization to bridge

the present situation?





NE of the big

Pay the many parts of the

Freight country is the ad-





vance in freight rates

which practically prohibits the ship-

ment of farm products to many mar-

kets which formerly took care of their

surplus commodities. The farmers of

many irrigated sections and those who

produce bulky crops are feeling the ef-

fects ofl‘thesie rates more seriously

than those who feed live stock and

produce products of higher market val-

ue per'pound. On the. other hand,

farmers who depend upon the pur-

chase of certain raw materials that

enter into the manufacture of their

finished products are feeling the ef-

fects of higher freight rates through

the increased cost of production of

their products. .

The farmer more than any other

class of business men or manufactur-

ers is feeling the blightingeffects of





thattractor power facilitates the rapid these new freight rates. As a class he

less cost than they canibe hauled by

rail from western. farms to the same

markets.



When corn and wheat were selling





for two and three dollars a bushel the-





farmers figured that the percentage re-

quired to pay the freight charges was

not unreasonable, but now with their

products selling from eighty to one

hundred per cent lower than they were

one year ago, and no reduction in the

freight charges, they are beginning to

look for some form' of relief to stabil-

ize their markets. .

Diagnosing a case .is one thing; pre-

scribing an effective remedy is anoth-

er. In this case the diagnosis is sim-

ple and irrefutable; the logical rem-

edy is a reduction in the cost of put-

ting farm products on the markets. But

how? . So long as "the railroads are

paying their present scale of wages,

thereby propagating rather than 'cur-

tailing the evil, no such rate reduction





[is possible; The problem is a serious





one from the standpoint of the farmer,

for by restricting his markets he is in

danger of losing them to competitors

from abroad, and as a result both the

farmer and the railroads are sure to

suffer. Obviously, if farming is to be

made to pay living profits, a reasonable

degree of stability must be. ensured.

The present freight rate situation is

not conducive to such stability.





NE of the most





Protecting satisfactory plans

C t 0 ever thought out for

u ". ver dealing with our cut-

Settlers over land problem is





being worked out at

the Tri—State Development Congress,

now in session at St. Paul. According

to press dispatches from that city the

congress has already emerged from a

temporary organization and stepped

into the lime-light as a-full-fledged or-

ganization to obtain for Michigan, Wis-

cousin and Minnesota the same sort of

service for their cut-over lands as oth-

er states have for their irrigated and

swamp lands.



A definite plan of action has been

mapped out which consists of a nation-

al campaign to make use of more than

fifty million acres of land in these

three states. The organization is to

be headed by an executive committee

to be made up of nine men—three from

each state. The first two members

from each state are to be the state

commissioner of agriculture and the

dean of the state agricultural college,

and the third member is to be chosen

by these two. This links up the public





functioning powers of the three states





in such a manner as to guarantee effi-

ciency ‘and give the public confidence,

which would be impossible with a po-





litical organization in charge of the





0





project.



Classification of all the lands and

topographical surveys of the counties

arevbeing urged as "being the basis for

all the work to be done in the future.

This means that every county in the

thre'e'states taking-part in the project

will. have an analysis made of the soil,

where taxable property is limited by

forestry programs. The development

of the tourist business through the lo‘

cation of camps and facilities for ac-

cess to beauty spots. The hearty sup-

Such an ambitious program will un-

doubtedly have many critics, and some

of the ideas expressed may not be en-

tirely free from certain weak points,

but we believe that as a whole the idea

of the three states cooperating along

definite lines is just what is needed to

solve the perplexing cut-over land

problem. And that the sooner it; is

settled the better for the agricultural

interests of the three states interested

in the projects -

HE legal power of agriculture to

interpret supply and demand, or

if, one chooses to say fix prices,





is without question, provided always,’





that this power is used with reaSon

and is not extortionate.

When congress passed the Sherman





' anti-trust laws and most state legisla-





tures, followed along the same lines,

the United States Supreme ,

found a strange absurdity in its appli-





cation and was ‘compelled to find-a





way out. This was the famous rule of

reason wisely read into the law by Jus-





. tice White’s majority decision of the





court. .The equality of all persons be-

fore the law was fundamental in Eng-





‘lish and American jurisprudence. Fol-

,loWifig the letter of. the Sherman anti-





trust 1aws any two humble farmers





lwho each owned one cow and who met





and asked their agreed price for'milk

of a large corporation with millions of

capital and thousands of stockholders

were guilty of forming a trust and

were in restraint of trade. , The com-

parison of these two absurdly dispro-

portionate powers in controversy and

making the weaker one the criminal,

was so contrary to justice as to be un-

thinkable. It was so plainly a perver-

sion of equality before the law that the

thousand as a single legal entity in a.

cerporation could do the very thing

that two natural persons could not,

that there was no effort made to apply

the lawr except where the units in con-

troversy were nearly equal.



In the same ‘way the various state

laws were not enforced and were large-

ly obsolete for quite similar reasons.

There was, however, a. haunting fear





- among farmers’mor'ganizations‘that the





national anti-trust law would be ap-

plied by oflicious persons and used as

a threat, and it p1obably was a deter-

rent.



To clarify this act and remove the





fear; the Clayton amendment was pass-





ed which was a masterful legal analy-

sis for which the author, a distinguish-

ed southern lawyer, has never been

given adequate credit. The solution

was that agricultural and horticultural

societies not having capital stock nor

organized for profit, were exempt with-

out going into detail. , .

A truly cobperative organization is





organized to make the products it han-





dles more profitable to the producer.

A corporation is intended to produce

profit to the stockholder on the basis

of stock ownership and exists primar-

ily for profit to the co1poration regard-

less of products which the stockholder

may" have absolutely no interest in

whatever. The distinction between the

clearness. , /



Someone had evidently studied the

organized under the form provided as

was done in several states, have never

been successfully prosecuted or under

state laws, even-.when incorporated as

”regular stock corporations. Back of

this is the decision of the United States

Supreme Court in the reconstruction

days which declared a citizens’ dual

relationship to the federal government

first, and secondly to the state.





While there are some conflictions in

regard to police powers of the state

this particular corporate right is not

in that category. The decision above

noted does not conceive of a state de-

claring under its laws that a citizen 'of

the United States can be convicted of

a crime when the United States has

declared the particular thing under na—

tional laws to be right. In other words,

the Clayton amendment declares that

citizens of the United States have cer-

tain cooperative rights. It then be-

comes impossible for a state to punish

the same citizen for what that state

may declare to be a c1ime. This legal

phase of citizenship was again con-

firmed when the state of Utah was ad-

mitted into the Union and was com

pelled by solemn compact to forever

prohibit polygamy, or by state law

make a right for its citizens of what

the United States declares to be a

crime for the same citizenship. In the

failure of' prosecutions under state

laWs even wheie agricultural Olgani-





the question has gone back to the rule

of reason, viz., was the intent of the

corporation against the general public

welfare?





The unsatisfactory situation about

this “rule of reason” was that there

was no tribunal to pass on the ques-

tion until the act was committed. This

congress remedied by creating the Fed-

eral Trade Commission. The general

plan of this body was not to prosecute'

but on investigation to point the way

if there had been unfairness. The of-

fending body was told “to go and sin

no more.” Agricultural organizations

complying with the terms of the Clay-

ton act have always passed the scru-

tiny of this body.





In the language of an eminent au-'





therity on agricultural economy, “The

To enable these machines to operate in all a

weather, under all conditions, and wherever

they may be located, an adequate supply of gaso-

line 13 needed. To supply this need is the con—

stant endeavor of the Standard Oil Company

(Indiana). The refineries operated by this Como



‘ pany are working night and day to increase the

yield of gasoline taken from crude oil, without

in any way sacrificing the quality of the gasoline.





The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) operates ~

3 distribution system maintained at as near to

100% efficiency as is humanly possible. To do

this calls for a minute and unwearying study

of local conditions, and for constant anticipation

of future needs.





 

   

 





All activities of the Standard Oil Company ’

(Indiana) are co-ordinatcd to the highest degree

of efficiency to insure maximum economy.





 





   





Thus in the Middle West, where efficiency it

needed most, the Standard Oil Company

(Indiana) is performing this essential economic

service to the benefit of all the people.

all of us if guesswork could be elimi-

nated from the proposition. And this

is actually being done; very gradually,

of course but substantial progress is

continually being made in that direc-

tion. Nor is this progress so slow as

most of us believe, if measured by gen-

erations of farmers 1ather than by

years The average faimer of today

knows a lot of basic things about good

farming that his forebears of a genera-

tion ago never even imagined, and a

good many things‘that even the scien-





tific investigator of the last generation .





only guessed might be true. Unfortu-





'nately for the present generation, pro-





greSs in taking the guess out of Rum-

ing is only just nicely sta11ed.A lot

of guesswork remains to be eliminated

But every progressive farmer is aware

of that fact and is interested in every





proposition which will help to elimi-





nate even a small fraction of it.



, Soil SUrveys Will Help.



One such proposition is a compre-

.In spite of our

wonderful progress in knowledge of

how to handle the soil f01 best 1esults,

there is far too much guesswork in the

application of the knowledge we have.

The application of scientific and estab-





lished experimental knowledge is quite





likely to prove disappointing-in any

particular case, owing to the wide var-,

iation‘ in soil conditions under which

.we operate. And we are prone to tail

to recognize this fact and to discredit

basic truths which would aid us great-

1y if we could but harmonize them- with

our conditions.,, _



Most of us have but a very limited

knoWledge or appreciation ot‘ the wide

variation of soil characteristics, some-

times even on our own farms. We

roughly classify soils as clay, loam,

gravel or sand, with little regard to

subsoil conditions and almost none at



all for the wide range of variations of

physical composition and Condition of

sells within these rough claSsifications.

It is very easy to comprehend that if

we could have a further classification

of our soils it would Open up a new

field for the application of experiment-

al knowledge gained an soils of a. sim-

ilar standardized types It would take

quite a lot of the guess out of fa1 ming

if we could have, this definite, detailed

knowledge 1 of the soils on our (own

farm. ’ And it would take a'lot of the





guesswork out of the proposition of‘





buying farming land ’it‘ we could easily

get'this information about any piece of

land in the state so that we could prop-

erly assess its value for faiming pur-

poses. And we can do both these de-

sirablethings at a very nominal cost

when the soil survey being undertaken

cooperatively by the Soils Department

.‘of the Michigan Agricultural College

and the United States Department of

Agriculture is completed.

Method of Soil Survey.

In making soil surveys the field men





of the Soils Department of the College





and of the United States Department





"of Agriculture, working jointly, go over





the area to be mapped in detail. They

examine the soils carefully as to its

texture, or the amount of sand, silt or

clay they carry, structural relation-

ship, topography, color, vegetable mat~

ter content, lime carbonate in subsoils,

depth, drainage, etc. On this basis the

soils of a county or area are classified,

and their boundaries located and

shown on a soil map. '

Drainage courses are located and

shown on the map. The areas of land

that are poorly drained or are in need

of artificial drainage are also shown

on the map. Moreover the topography

or lay of the land is considered as well

as the areas or fields that have eroded

or are eroding badly and Where possi-

ble prevention methods are suggested.

The amount of land utilized is shown

and the possibilities for development

are considered. The present state of

productivity and methods for improve-





ment by means of lime and fertilizer





are also given consideration.



Samples of surface and subsoils tak-

en to a depth of forty inches are trans-

ported to the laboratory and analyzed

for plant—food, lime and water relation-

ships. This constitutes one of the most

important phases of the work, inas-

much as it affords a background or a

basis for future soil improvement or

betterment.



Upon the completion of mapping of

the soil, and the gathering of informa—

tion concerning them a report is writ-

ten. This, when published, includes

the soil map of the county or area in

question. Records of weather condi-

tions, agricultural relationships, de-

scriptions of the different kinds.of soil

found, their plant-food content, their





deficiencies, if they have any, and the!





means of overcoming them.

What Has Been Accomplished.



Earlier surveys by the Uni-ted States

Soils, includes, Allegan, Wexford, Cass

and Genesee counties, and also the A1-

ma, Saginaw, Owosso, Oxfmd, Pontiac

and Munising aieas Calhoun county

was finished in 1917- These are to be

modified somewhat on the basis of the

classification more..recently‘ worked

out and will then be made to fit into

the Michigan Soil Survey.

cost more than one-half this sum and





more. This means a permanent piece

of valuable work at a less cost than

the construction of one—quarter of a

mile of good road. ‘ *

Several things have been revealed

by the soil surveys thus far conducted

in Michigan. Dr. McCool-briefly sum-

marizes them as follows: “An abund-l

ance of carbonate of lime underlies the

greater portion of the heaVy lands of





em and southeastern Michigan, or the





ash, but the phosphoric acid, is the

plant-food constituent that 'is lowest,





but, in fact, it runs higher than in most .





of our soils. Attention to drainage and

soil tilth is generally necessary. The

deeper sandy soils are usually not high

either in lime, phosphoric acid 01' nitro-

However, the shallower sandy

soils are generally ve1y pxoductive

when d1ained The pe1 centage of the

lands in St. Joseph and Bel'rien coun-

ties not in need of lime for best re-

sults has been. found to be very low.‘

The carbonate of lime is not generally





found above thirty-six inches in the ‘ ’





heavy soils of these counties‘and in

case of the sands it usually lies below

five feet from the surface. Large areas

of light surface soils in Berrien county

contain a small per cent of clay in the

subsoil. The piesence of this material

doubtless adds to the agricultmal val-

ue of these soils”



Thls general information alone

makes the job well worth while, to say

nothing of the detailed informatibn

which will be invaluable to every indi-'

vidual farmer who avails himself of it.

It will be a big help in_ taking the

guess out of farming, and at an almost

infinitesimal cost per acre.

The difficulty that congress has had

in enacting a national law legalizing

collective bargaining is one of legal

fact rather than any desire to deny the

right. There is a legal situation al-

ready well settled by the Clayton

amendment which permits this right

under the form of organization already





described. To make a distinction be:





tween farmers in a capitalistic form of

Corporation (even though the divi-

dends are limited to the usual earning

power of money at interest), and other

corporations of non-farmers is of doubt-

ful legal possibility. The legal.equal-

ity of all people regardless of class,

was what had exempted the farmer in

the early history of anti-trust laws 'and

to now make him a privileged class is

exceedingly questionable. The very

recent decision of the United States

Supreme Court in the Duplex Printing

”Press secondary strike case, refers

back to the Clayton amendment, de-

claring labor not a commodity and ex-

empting its organizations from the

Sherman act. The court held that

when labor organizations went beyond

a reasonable defense’ of their individ-

ual rights, which in this case was of

men not immediately or directly a

party tol’the controversy, they were not

exempt. The United States Supreme

Court has consistenly held to the rule

of reason in all its decisions.





Another reason which diminishes

the necessity for the Capper-Volstead

act is that it would only apply to inter-

state commerce and still leave the

matter of intra-state which is of the

much greater importance, unsettled.

The best agricultural, legal, economic

thought now is along the lines of legal:

izing collective bargaining in the re-

spective states and previding a court

of business relations to construe rea-

sonableness and also righteousness of

contracts. The farmer needs a Court

Where he can say to those manufactur—

ing and distributing his products that,

he asks the same pay for labor and

compensation fo1 115115 and hazards of

business that is common in othel lives

of indust1y.



Today the no’n-farming' world cyni-

cally scoffs at the farmer’s production

costs and cheerfully allows that of the

manufacturer and distributor.





It is regrettably true that the legal

and moral rights of the primary pro-

ducer are treated as “scraps of paper”

by those who" have pr'eponderating

power in buying. Agricultural leader-

ship is compelled to defend organiza-





‘tion for service against an, assumed





power of a great monopolistic trust

which will enhance food prices. The

farmer’s best answer to this would be

a court of business relations with pow-

er to hear controversies between those

industries ,where, the producer is an

essantial factor. The milk condensary,





for example, is not alone the industiy

. but the dairymen with his herd and





equipment are to be considered. What





are the equities of these respective .‘riés, apples and peaches





 





contributors to the food supply, wouldi





mic its once to a legal body to deter-

mine its efficiency, and costs and ,its

right foipr'ofits as well as lessee.



. The writei in attendance as a mem-

ber of a milk commission in one of the





large cities of the united States was"





startled by the appaient sincerity cf

argument advanced by a iepiesenta-





tive of the distributms, viz., that While,





the proposed milk price was conceded-





ly below the cost of production, the-





loss, when borneby all the producers

was not materially felt, while the dis-

tributors could by no means operate

Without a profit.



Promotion and common stock of beet

sugar factories have been paid from

the best fields and contracts are signed

on the dotted lines which, insures this

gain and often at the expense of the

grower. Where the golden rule is not

willingly practiced, it should be legally

enforced. 'Under no conceivable law

can agriculture be exempted from col-

lectively working an injury to society

by refusing to produce, nor does it

want to do so. On the other hand, pos~

itive injury is done to the producer by

inequitable rewards for his service and

not proportional to that of his co-work-

ers who merge their efforts in food pro-

duction. The investigation and deter-

mination of these equities can best be

made by the enactment of a law in ‘the

respective states providing a. court of

business relations.





 





EXPERIENCE WITH" NITRATE OF

SODA. 1



HAVE carried on several experi-



ments with nitrate of soda, and gen-

erally with good results. There are

two distinct types of sandy loam on

my (arm. The richer in humus of

these does not respond so noticeably.

It was on the lighter type that an ex-

periment was carried on by the Mich-

igan Agricultural College this past

season, with one hundredbr more El‘

berta peach trees. No diffelence was

noticed between the rows having ap-

plications of nitrogen alone, nitrogen.

and phosphorus, and nitrogen phos-

phorus and potash. In other words,

whatever

the check rows must’be attributed to

the nitrogen.



These treated rows showed a much

darker and more luxuriant foliage than

the check rows, and while there was

no difference to speak of in the yield,

the trees may be assumed to be in a

better condition to produce a fuller

crop next year, other conditions being

the same. -





‘The 11-1111, ripened somewhat later





. than the fruit. on the checks, and the

foliage did not stop growing as early -





in the fall. For this reason, I think

another year I shall apply the nitrate

before growth starts in the spring, so

that its effect may be fully developed

by early fall.



The experiment this year tended to

show that one may apply too much

nitrate. Trees with five pounds did

not show up as well as with either two

and a half or one and one-quarter

pounds. The latter two were equally

good, consequently I would choose the

smaller amount because of expense

and probable earlier ripening. Experi-

ments in this same block of trees but

in another. place, carried on in 191‘!)

did not show any results, owing no





doubt to a very prolonged drought dur—'





ing the g1owing season.

C HE accredited herd campaign



‘ which started’ December 7 has

made excellent progress and

nineteen meetings had been held up to l





the first of January, including meet- _.





ings' at Flint, Lapeer, Mount Clemens.

saginaw, Bay City, Sandusky, Owosso,l

Howell, Ypsilanti, Ida, Plymouth, Jack-

son, Adrian, Marshall, Hastings, Farm-

ington and Galien. Two other meet--

ings during this time, one at Caro, and

the other at Holland, were postponed,

lateness of trains making it impossi-

ble to meet the schedules. These will '

undoubtedlybe held at some later

date, and a number of other meetings

are being scheduled.



Local arrangements are being hand-

led by the farm bureaus and Holstein

organizations, where such, exist, and in

counties which are not fortunate

enough to have local organizations, in—

dividual breeders arrange for the meet-

ings. Dr. T. S. Rich, federal inspector

in charge of tuberculosis eradication

in _Michigan, and H. H. Halladay, State

Commissioner of Animal Industry,

have been the principal speakers at





the meetings, assisted by H. E. Denni- ‘





son, of Owosso, S. H. Munsell, of How-

ell, and Field secretary Norton.





The work of controlling and eradi-

cating tuberculosis under the state and

federali accredited herd plan has gain-

ed great headway in Michigan since

its inception‘in 1917, but limited funds

have prevented such development as

we should like to see. This method of

protecting the health of the herds has

met with almost universal approval

among the breeders of pure-bred cattle,

and if sufficient funds were available

so that the work could be pushed, the

breeders would almost without excep-

tion be glad to place their herds under

supervision. Such being the case, it is

up to the Michigan cattle breeders to

see to it that the legislature whichl

conve'nes in January makes a liberal

appropriation‘for this Work. Holsteins

are by far the most numerous of any of

the breeds of cattle in Michigan and

two—thirds of all the herds now under

supervision in the state are Black and

White, and for this reason it devolves

upon the Holstein breeders in particu-





 





‘lar to make a determined effort to '





have the budget for this work/put

through as proposed.





Michigan Holsteins have long been

recognized throughout the country as

being exceptionally free from this dis-

ease and Michigan breeders must do

everything possible to protect their

herds and keep up the reputation. The

recent report of the United States'gov-

~ernment shows that Michigan stands

well toward the top among the states

as regards the number of pure-bred

Holsteins in accredited herds, and the

records for the first eleven months ’of

‘1920 show that less than two and one-

\half per cent of all cattle tested in

Michigan under state and federal sup-

ervision have reacted to the test—a

. truly remarkable showing. Everything

points to the fact that we can eradi-

cate the disease in Michigan with a

comparatively smail loss if we take .ad-

'~vantage of the situation. So let’s all





get-busy and make a determined effort , ' ,

One man with the. Perfec-

You can easily milk 24 to 30

cows an hour with the Perfec-

this the Perfection is unusually

low in upkeep and costs but

a few cents a day to operate.



Furthermore owners say,

that their Cows give more milk

when milked with the Perfec-

', ’ By E.‘ E.)

AllM organization representatives;

in Washington are pleased, with

the success of the Kenyon-Kenn



drick-Gronna meat packer regulation;

bill in passing the «senate by avbte of'

ferty-six to thirty-three; but there are.

differences of opinion as to the prob-

able fate of the bill in the house. The

friends of the bill in the house are con-,

fident that it will pass congress before

March 4. Congressman Campbell, of

‘Kansas, chairman of the house rules.

committee, is said to be’in favor of

the‘measure, and his thought that

with his aid 3 special rule maybe re

ported giving the bill the right of way



in the house. ' .



Those representatives not friendly

to the measure are equally confident

that they will be able to postpone ac—

tion on the bill this session, and that

the fight will have to be made over

again in the next congress, both in the

house and senate. It is also thought

by some that the bill as passed by the

senate will not greatly affect the pack-

ers’ interests and will meet with little

opposition.



A number of amendments were made

to the bill. One introduced by Senator

Pittman, of Nevada, provides that the

act shall not apply to any person en~

gaged primarily in the raising of live

stock. Senator Hoke Smith, of Geor-

gia, secured an amendment providing

for an appeal from the commission

created by the bill. An amendment in-

troduced by Senaior James, W. Wads-

worth, of New York, eliminates horses,

mules and goats from the provisions

of the act.



The Gronna bill creates a Federal

Live. Stock Commission to supervise

and have regulatory powers over the

meat packers. The compulsory licens-

ing clause was eliminated, but it was

replaced by one providing [or volun—

tary registration of packing companies.

The packers are required to make ac-

curate returns of their operations to

the commission at slated intervals.

They are prohibited from entering into

any agreement to fix prices, and are

required to dispose of their stock yards

within two years of the enactment, of

the measure. The sum of $75,000 is

appropriated for carrying out its pro-

visions. e





HE announcement that Attorney-

General Palmer hadmade a ruling



to the effect that butter made from

sour or rancid cream is subject to the

ten cent. a pound tax now levied on

adulterated butter, is causing some un-

easiness among ’the dairymen. It is

the ruling of the attorney-general that

any grade of butter manufactured from

rancid cream or from cream contain-

ing a high percentage of acid which is

neutralized before churning with the

addition of chemicals is adulterated

within the meaning o‘f'the a‘oft‘j’qf May

9, 1902, and is taxable under the law.

Commenting on this ruling, J. J. Far-

rell, of the National Dairy Products

Commission, says that the greater bulk

of creamery butter is produced in sum-

mer from milk kept over night. When

it is too high in acid one pint of lime





used to reduce the acidity. This puts

the cream in condition where it will

pasteurize more efficiently. If this rul-

ing is' enforced it will add a tax of ten

cents a pound on at: least” seventy per

cent of all the creamerybutter made

in creameries in this country. It would

drive the business of butter-making

back to the farms, or"the. creamery





' plan would be'compelled to produce a

this ruling. if the attorney-general holds '





to the position he is alleged to have

taken in the matter. ‘ .

The house committee on banking

and currency has been investigating

the Washington representatives of the

various farm organizations maintain-

ing headquarters here.‘ In explaining

the purpose of this investigation, Rep—

resentatiye L. T. McFadden, ‘of Penn-

‘sylvania, chairman of the committee,

said the committee wanted to. know

who the representatives are, not in a

spirit off-animosity, but to seek infor-

mation in regard to the standing of

the representatives and who they

stand- for. ‘

Gray Silver appeared in behalf of

the American Farm Bureau Federa-

tion, answering many questions per-

taining to the organization and its'coh-

nections. It seemed to be the prevail-

ing idea of the committee that the

County Farm Bureaus were fostered

and supported by government funds

under the Smith-Lever act. Mr.’Silver

explained the connection between the

county agent andfihe farm bureau, say-





ing thatlhe farm bureaus supplement- 7





ed the government funds in supporting

the county agent, but that the work or

maintenance of the farm bureau did

not depend upon the Smith-Lever act

funds. He pointed out that in Illinois

Where thelfarm bureau movement is

strongest the Smith-Lever funds were

not accepted by the state until in re-

cent years. The first farm bureau was

started in New York state for the pur-

pose of raising funds to pay the coun-

ty agent. .



Dr. T. C. Alkeson, representing the

National Grange, gave an account of

his forty years‘ connection with the

Grange, thirty-eight. years in an official

capacity. He objected to being called

a lobbyist, saying he'had never under-

taken to unduly influence congress to

enact or defeat any proposed legisla-

tion. The farmers pay five cents a,

year to support the National Grange,

and the expense of maintaining the

Washington office is not more than one

and one-fourth cents a member per

year. The Grange has promoted prac-

tically all the legislation to prevent ex-

ploitation of the people, Dr. Atkeson

told the committee. It backed the

movement which resulted in the organ-

ization of the farm bureaus and the

county agent system. He believed that

it was good public policy, though it.

may require special legislation, to pro

vide the means of keeping the land

owners on the farms. ' i



It is probable that this investigation





will be extended to some other organ- /





izations represented in VVashingto'n,‘

with the object of giving the commit-

tee opportunity to question the repre-

sentatives as to Who they represent

and who pays them for their services.

It promises to become interesting as

this investigation progresses. '

ers, grain marketing committee and the

It was quite evident in the conven-

tion" that 'whatever system of market-





ing is recommended by these commit- ,





tees, it. will be necessary to have» im—

ized about the idea advanced by Ex-

Congressman A. F. Lever that commod-

farmers Would be able to pool their





commodity banks where debentures

would be issued against them and sold

’in the money markets of the world to

furnish the farmer with funds by

which he may orderly .market what he

raises.



In his opening address President C.

problem is the most difficult one, but

it can be worked out. One of the en-

couraging results of organization is

that all other organized interests seem

anxious to cooperate with the farmer

He announced that headquarters are

nurseryman. Sometimes the name tags

are left on trees until the trees

strangle. When live stock get in a

young orchard and trim the leaves

from young growing trees, it places a

tax on the strength of those trees and

many of them may die.



Trees that are carelessly planted'

may fail to thrive. Some seasons are

more favorable to tree growth than

others. The value of nursery stock can-

not be determined at the time. of sale

and this makes the purchase uncertain

and gives a\ chancefor future misun-

derstandings. Several years after trees

have been planted the fruit may prove

untrue to name. Often this is due to

mistakes in the nursery. Sometimes it

is the buyer’s fault. He may forget

what he ordered or forget which trees

are planted in a certain plot. He may

send only a small order in cooperation

with a. neighbor. They may divide the

trees hurriedly without carefully study-

ing the tags. and each grower may

plant the wrong variety.





 





IT‘is difficult to tell the variety of



fruit at young tree will produce by

the appearance of a young tree and

only experienced fruit growers and

nurserymen are able to tell and they

might occasionally be mistaken. The

inexperienced buyer .has to place all

trust in the nurseryman at thetime

of sale and for several years afterward.

It is not surprising that a-few mis-

takes occur. It is a wonder that so

many buyers of trees haveysuch good

luck as they do. _ - ~

In buying nursery stock it pays to

ARQUETTE’S experience with

-its new tractor snowplow for

clearing sideWalks is very satis-

factory. The plow a1 rived just in time

to be put in service following a heavy

snow storm of last week. Usually in

such cases there is consideiable delay

before the walks are cleared of snow,

and then the work is poorly done with

a team-drawn wooden plow, which

slides over the surface of the snow

without doing a clean job. I had the

opportunity of following in the wake

of the plow on its maiden trip and was

more than pleased with its operation.

The walks Wele left smooth and with

only a thin coating of snow, so that

their use was easy. It was estimated

that on its initial trial the plow did

work at a rate that, under the old sys‘

tem, would have required six teams of

horses and twelve men. Horses for this

work ale in fact now quite impossible

to get here. One man handled the

tractor plow. This new plow cost

$1, 800, weighs about 3, 500 pounds, is

of twelve ho1sepowe1 on the draw- -bar.

The wings can be sp1ead nine feet A

larger plow would be lequlred £01

street w01k, but the foregoing specifi-

cations appea1 ample tor sidewalk

clearing. Plows of this chaiacter,

madefarther south, do not sufficiently

allow for the probable depth of snow

that may be encountered, and the

-wings should be wider on the vertical.

This can be easily adjusted, however.

On its maiden trip, the Marduette

plow cleared some twenty—seven miles

of‘. walks in seven hours. It is felt

that Superintendent of Streets C. A.

Pearce, and the city commission, have

done much to make winter life in Mar-

quette mole livable.



Since the snow of last week, the

weather here has g1eatly mode1ated.

and the recent April- -like days are dis-

concerting to the weathe1 plOplletS. of

last fall, who prognosticated that, be-

cause the autumn was unseasonably

warm, dire times were ahead for the

post-holiday period. It has not worked

out that way. We have had no zero

weather here as yet, and the ground

will soon be bare—as it now is in spots

«unless lower tempeIature 1etu1ns.



Farm Bureau Branch.



I have received a statement from

Mr. J. Wade'Weston, assistant state

leader of county agents in the upper

peninsula, in regard to the recent meet-

ing at Escanaba which considered. the

proposal to establish a branch office of

the State Farm Bureau north of the

Straits. The meeting considered three

aspects of the problem: The type of





' work to be done, the location of the





office, the qualification of the manager

of the office. In regard to the- first

point, it was agreed that the buying

and selling organization should be cen-

tered at Lansing. The office should as—

sist the upper peninsula counties in

pooling orders. for seeds, feeds and fer-

tilizers, andshould develop markets in

061' consumption centers for our agri-

cultural products. The oflice should

assist local cooperative organizations

by providing them with information re-

garding improved methods of doing a

cooperative business. The office should

promote loyalty to the farm bureau or-

ganizations, local, state and national.

It should gather information apropos

cooperation in the upper peninsula. It

should furnish expert assistance to lo-

cals where needed. Through coopera-

tion with the county agents, the office

wOuld promote standardization, grad-

ingv‘and the improvement of quality of

our agricultural products. In consider-

ing the location of the central office, it

was agreed that the location should be

one which would reach all points in

with Escanaba as a travel center gives

the total mileage to reach all points at

1,598 miles. Similarly Marquette as a.

tlavel centei requires 1, 393 miles. But

Escanaba has the advantage as 1e—

gards the, farm bureau membership

available to itself by one—half of, one

per cent. This latter statement is do

pendent upon a certain membeishlp in

Ontonagon and Mackinac counties be—

ing obtained next spring. The present

membership gives Escanaba-an advan-

tage of three and seven-tenths per

cent in membership miles. “The. no

tual miles travelled to reach the places

where farm bureau work will be done

is represented by an advantage to Mar-

quette of sevenper cent,” says the

statement. The train schedules are

also favorable to Marquette in ~compai~

ison with Escanaba. Finally, with rell

erence to the qualifications of the of-

fice manager, it is held that he should

understand the basic principles of ag-

riculture, understand the upper penin<

Sula, and also be a keen business man.

eral Dickinson county farmers, it ap-

pears, have now installed their own





electric light plants, where it has been

impossible to tap power transmission

lines. Mr. Miller also reminds his read-

ers that the new forestry department

of the State Farm Bureau may be able

to handle their output of fence posts

and ties. The Dickinson County Fair

will occur September 2—3-5, 1921.



In'a series of farmers’ meetings in

Gogebic county, the subjects of seed

selection, bull associations and wool

pool policy have been discussed. The

Daily Globe of Ironwood, reports an

intention to arrange a special class of

entry 'of junior breeders’ live stock at

the annual county fair each year,which

it is believed, will tend to afford a

greater incentive for growing more

high-grade live stock in that county.



Mr. A. G. Kettunen, upper peninsula.

of the Irwin township schools, the

the larger of which have been set up

alongside the highways as snow fences.

type of general-purpose horse. The

work is being carried on at Buffalo,

Wyoming, in connection with the state.





There are now at the station thirteen —





stallions and. twenty-five brood mares

that conform Closely to the type and

characteristics desired.



Dr. George M. Rommel, chief of the

division, says he is trying to develop

a general-purpoSe horse bred without

a drop of draft blood. His aim is an

animal weighing from twelve hundred

-to fourteen hundred pounds, and six-

teen to sixteen two-tenths hands high,

an upstanding, active horse, with good-

form and action. There is a place for

such horses in the western mounted

region, and also in some eastern sec-

tions, especially in the hilly country.

The heavier machinery now in use,

even on eastern hill farms, makes a

heavier team than those now found, a

necessity.



The work of developing this breed

was begun sixteen years ago. The

stallions used are all standard—bred

The type is well fixed, and it is prob,

able that a name will be given the.

new breed at an early date, and it will

take a favorable place alongside the

plder breeds.



Dr. Rommel says that one need of

the farms now are men and boys who

know how to handle horses to the best

of today do not know how to handle

the warm-blooded active horses.



The Morgan horse farm at Middle-

bury, Vermont, had the finest crop of

colts last year since the government





operated it. The Bureau of Animal.‘





Husbandry is breeding to hold the

Morgan type, but adding to the size.

Dr. Rommel believes it would be a

great national loss if the Morgan

Action or Reaction

A private soldier, mustered out at the close of the _

Civil War, became in turn a farm hand, a tenant,

a farmer of his own land, a recognized authority on

farm management and farm markets, and, finally

Governor of a great state in the Central West.



He followed always one fixed principle. He held .

that the time to expand activities in any direction

was when others were beginning to reduce or

abandon their interest in that line. He began

when others quit. ‘



As long as he lived he put his theory to the test

on his own farms and his remarkable success

proved its correctness.



Today many farmers are uneasy and are said to be

considering giving up the use of commercial fer—

tilizers.



For five years conditions beyond their control have

brought about high fertilizer prices and made .lt

necessary to accept fertilizers radically different in

composition from those formerly in use.



* Is the solution of the trouble to be found in giving

up the use of things that have proved profitable in

the past or in a careful consideration of the ques-

tion of the purchase of fertilizers that Will be as

good as, or better than those formerly used?

There has been aperiod of Potash Starvation. Now

all fertilizer materials are obtainable. Fertilizers



- high in Potash, 5 to 10 per cent, can be made and -

if you will insist on buying them you W111 find that

Her own senses could perceive this

animal all to plainly—and the fact sug-

gested unpleasant possibilities. ‘



The animal on the trail behind her

was taking no care at all to go silently.

He was simply pat-patting along, whol-

that men have instilled in his breed

was somehow missing. And that is

why she instinctively tried to hurry on

the trail.

If he had stayed to shoot longer, his

birds would have been wasted. So he

started back along a certain winding

trail that led through the thickets and

which iwould, if followed long enough,

He rode one of Lennox's cattle pon-

Everyone knows how difficult it is

to develop a kingdom in the world.

and bolshevism is trying it now. One

often feels like the youth in the French

there is something to his religion. The

During the period when our- govern-

ment was sending ‘shiploads of troops

to France, a very distressing event

took place in New York. The Son of

a minister, Doctor McLeod, was about

to embark with his company, when he

disappeared. _Every effort was made

at the time, and since the war, to as-

certain what happened to young Mc-

Leod. But without result. His disap-

pearance is an absolute mystery; The

pain endured by his father and mother

is far greater than if they knew he

was lying in a Flanders grave. Their'





anguished homes and fear can only be .1

imagined. Yet Doctor McLeod has ~





gone on with his work as if nothing

had happened. A few months after his

son’s vanishing he published a power-

ful and cheering volume Of sermons

entitled, “Songs in the Night.” He has

seen to it that the Kingdom is made

first. in his life.

What Is the TractOr’s Record





of Economy?





Before you buy a tractor. get its record of economy.



Don’t be satisfied with merely statements of what the tractor will or

may do under certain conditions, but get a record of what it has

done under all conditibns over as long a period of time as Wble.

The story of any one of thousands of old OilPull tractors, scattered

throughout the world, would. prove the unequaled economy of the

OilPull. Take the one owned by Radtke Bros., Spiritwood, North

Dakota, which was bought nine years ago. Its owners have always

given it hard service the year 'round—plowing and breaking sod,

threshing, operating feed mill, etc.



For seven years it performed faultlessly without the need of a single

important repair! It is now nine years old and not half “worked

out.” Many twelve-yearle OilPulls, including the first one built,

are still on the job!



The OilPull‘s remarkable economy in fuel is well and widely. estab-

lished. For the last nine years the OilPull has held the world's

tractor fuel economy record! And—consider this point—the OilPull

is the only tractor backed by a written guarantee to burn success-

fully all grades of kerosene, under all conditions up to its full rated





‘





 





   

 





brake horsepower! The OilPull is the tractor of proved economy.

When you boy on OilPull you know you are getting the tractor

that is cheapest in cost pertycar of service.



Ask your OilPull dealer about other OilPull features that are as out-

standing as its economy—lbw: its dependability, long life, etc.

help him in the least, and desired him

to follow the girl.

How can I estimate the cost of the

F01 a woman who has never kept ac—

beyond buying what. she wanted and

eating it up, the problem would be rath-

er difficult. Doubly hard for farm wom-

table. Here is one Of the best a1gu-

ments‘possible for carefully kept farm

accounts.



Of course the only way to find out

it it pays, is to find out what it costs.

And -as no accounts have been kept,





‘the thing to do is to begin at once to





measure everything which goes onto

the table, down to the flour to thicken

the gravy. This isn’t as hard as it

sounds. For instance, a standard brand

of breakfast food contains ten cups of

food. Two cups will provide the cereal

for breakfast for six persons. The

cereal in‘ question costs twenty-five

~cents a box, which gives five cents a.

day for the six, or— five—sixths of a cent

a day per person.



Similarly, if twelve oranges are six-

an orange for breakfast, the cost of

that individual’s portion is easy to

reckon. ' Sugar is still easier, there are

exactly two cups to the pound. Buy

find ~out how much the sugar bowl

holds, and keep track of how often it

is filled. A sack of ilour contains

twenty—four and a half pounds. Four

cups of sifted flour, equals one pound;

two cups of solid butter 01‘ ot‘ lard

equals a pound; It is better to have

scales and weigh flour, butter and lard,

but. if you have none, accurate meas-

urement will do. I



Two weeks of careful work, keeping

accurate accounts should do. In keep-

ing accounts do not. charge up to the

boarders any household supplies they

do not use. For instance, if you do

not do their washing, do not charge up

laundry soap, starch, blueing, etc. But

toilet soap which they use, matches,

kerosene or lights of any sort, heat,

etc., should be reckoned.



If you do not remember how much

you paid for yourcanned fruit or veg-

etables, how much sugar was used,

how long it took to can, etc., the cost

will be hard to find. It" you have kept

your figures, the cost 01' a can is easy.

Elberta peaches last year sold in our

neighborhood for $2.75. One bushel



One cup of sug-

ar to the can, makes ten pounds—

twenty cups. This sugar was eighteen

cents in. the spring. Thismade the ac-

tual cost of peaches and sugar figure





up to tWenty-two and three-fourths '





cents per can. It took seven hours to

can the bushel, for which the charge

would be forty cents an hour. A wom-

an would charge forty cents an hour to

do the work. Dividing by the'number

of cans, twenty, gives _fourteen cents

cost of labor to be added to each can,

or thirty-six and three-fourths cents,

actual cost of a can of peaches, exclu—

sive. of the fuel- To make any money

selling those peaches one could not

charge less than forty cents per can,

and should have more. One can of

peaches will give about twelve gener-

ous dishes.



It goes without saying that one could

not expect to make money from board-

ers at a dollar a day, and give elabor-

cereal,

toast or ’hot“ breads, and bacon, or

eggs, or coontry sausage; dinner or

met. one vegetahie. potatoes, bread





and buttei, a salad or canned 1elish,

and simple dessert; supper of one hot

dish, bread and butter and dessert,

would be sufficient, to keep everyone

“fed” up, and give a Chance to make a

little, With this sort of scheme, the

board money should pay all table ex-

penses, but would not do any more.

Breakfast; can be made interesting

by changing the kind of cereal and

fruit. Don’t serve oatmeal every morn- '

ing, nor flakes. With all the foods

theie are in the market one could

have a change every day for a month.

And don’t think you must have g1 ape

fruit or oranges. Give the folks baked

apples, apple sauce, prunes, canned

fruit, home- made jam and hot toast,

and storefruits once in awhile. The

great thing is to ring in changes.





 





GNATS 0N HOUSE-PLANTS.





, I find that a small fly or gnat is botlr

e11ng my house plants. It is very small

and about the same color as the com-

mon house fly. It eiawls into the dirt

and seemingly lays eggs, as I find the

dilt full of little worms. One geIanium

plant is dying, and I think this insect

is the cause. W hat can I do to p1eV ent





01 get rid of it?

Anenac Co. Miss M. E. P.





I think there can be little room for

doubt that the small flies or gnats.

which bother house—plants and which

are described as being very small and

about the-same color as the common

house-fly, are fungus gnats. These

creatures often breed in decaying ma-

nure and decayng vegetable matter

and occasionally injure. house-plants.

We have found nicotine the most. val-

uable agent for killing these creatures

and have usually had little difficulty

with them after watering a few times

with a little black leat‘ forty in the

water. It is often sufficient to dig into

the soil around the roots a quantity of

tobacco, fine-cut tobacco or something

of the kind which will liberate nico-

tine when it becomes soaked with the

water of the soil. These worms are

more apt to be present when the soil

in the pot is soggy and when it is kept

too wet, although they may thrive in

soil of proper moisture. I would give

the plant a little better drainage if

the soil. seems too wet and either use

some tobacco or some nicotine (it

doesn’t matter which brand of nicotine

is used. R. H. PET'I‘IT,

Youth Teaching the New.





Agriculture—.3. J. c. Mil/r





T this time. of the year, when the

summer club work is closed and

the winter work well under way,





'it should be of interest and benefit to





our readers», especially the boys and

girls, to know what their young co-

workers in Saginaw county have done

during the past year. In reviewing the

summer work in this progressive farm-

ing community many important facts

are brought to light, the thorough and





‘ efficient organization, under Club Lead-





er Arthur L. ,Strang, standing. out in

bold relief. '



In the first place, the club work here

is a. necessity of very varied nature,

as the county is widely different in na-

tionality, religion and economic condi-

tions. Because of this it is almost im-

possible to get some communities to-

gether. In some localities the appeal

for cooperative club work must be en-

tirely in terms of dollars and cents,





Zilwaukee Canning Demonstration

Team Has Successful Season.





while in other places one may'talk

club work in terms of better commu~

nity spirit, improvements and pure-

bred live stock; but all with the Single

purpose of making better farmers and

better citizens for the future.





“In one section of the county,” said

Mr. Strang, “where ten boys each pur-

chased a. pure-bred pig, the farmers

have become very much interested in

pure-bred stock and without exception

the fathers of these boys, not only pur-

chased thoroughbred swine, but be-

came interested in other pure. strain

live stock. In many other instances a

stock-judging demonstration was car-

ried on in connection with pig club

work. The boys were so enthused that

upon going home they told their fath-

ers what they had found out about

stock judging, and this interested the

fathers to such an extent that they

never have a club meeting in' that 10-

cality but what every parent is pres-

ent and taking as much‘intere/st in the

work as the boys and girls themselves.



“Then the boys began the study of

better feedingbalances. The farmers

also took up this important matter and

gave considerable time to figuring bal-

anced rations. that could be fed most





' economically to. the stuck that they





had onftheir farms. ‘ As one; of the

fathers said: ~ .‘I ‘am determined that





\





 





 

 





caring for stock,’ and he certainly real-

ized that this meant some study on his

part.”



In the boys’ work during the sum-

mer four pig clubs were formed with





a membership of twenty-five, every boy





raising a pure-bred pig with the inten-

tion of keeping it for breeding pur-

poses the coming year. This keeps the

boys interested'in the farm and: in the

production of good live stock, and they

are more likely to stay at home in-

steadof giving‘up farm life for work

in the city. As there were but few

pure-bred pigs in this’county of the

breed which the boys chose, it has

tended to greatly improve the stock of

this particular breed. Besides keeping

pure-bred stock, several of the boys

raised grade pigs and are finishing

projects in pork production. In addi-

tion to the routine Work and study,

each pig club member has kept an ac-

curate record of the cost of production

of his pig, and knows exactly how





‘ much he has fed the pig and how much





the pig has gained on. the various

feeds. The value of the breeding stock

is placed at $800; the total costs were

$454.57, leaving a net profit of $345.43.

A fact worth noting is that nineteen

farmers adopted the methods taught

the boys, with a consequent increase





,of one hundred and sixty—eight pure—





bred pigs this year.



Boys Are Keen for Stock'Judging.



About forty-five members of the

Boys’ Clubs throughout the county held

regular meetings during the summer

studying stock judging and manage-

ment under'the direction of the ‘county

club leader. These boys through their

work have gained valuable information

and experience, which they some day

will be able to put to practical use in

purchasing stock. of their own. The

deep interest and enthusiasm shown

by the boys in the work the past sum-

mer have been very gratifying to the

farm bureau leaders, who declare that

most boys who have taken care of a

pig are more interested in farm life

than ever before. Mr. Strang also held

seven public stock judging demonstra—

tions, at which about one hundred and

fifty farmers were present.



One of the events in the farm life of

the boys interested in the work was a.

Holstein tour of the county conducted

by the~Holstein Breeders' Association.

Ten boys toured the county with the

association members in charge, visiting

sixteen farms and making a study of

the types of animals raised, and the

methods of handling the stock.



As a result of these activities the

county- club leader organized three

cow—testing clubs, the members of

which are working with the farmers to

test the herds and. to weed out the

dairy cow that is not paying for its





_feed. These boys meetvregul'arly and





are spending considerable time in fig

uring out balanced rations fer feeding

the stuck on their, fathers’ farms.

Garden Clubs Are Popular.

Several of the boys interested in

stock raising are members of the var-

ious crop‘ clubs, of which there are

thirteen in Saginaw county. The boys

and girls enrolled in these garden

clubs number two thousand, of which

about twelve hundred are boys. The

boys, in the, bean clubs made careful





selectikm of seed beans for disease-

resisting stock, and in this work they;





were assisted by a. be“. disease __

Of the two thousand home gardens

planted last summer eighteen hundred





value of the products at current mar-

ket prices was placed at $16, 000. The

other two hundred gardens, the prod

note of which were sold in the open

market, yielded $2 000 more, while

the total expense of all gardens was

$2, 500,.- leaving a net profit (without

taking..into account the boys’ labor

time), of $15,500.' In the garden tests

two 'hundred members undertook





ease, while; eight. hundred members

tested seeds before planting, and one

hundred and twenty used hose, over-

head or surface irrigation. The num-

ber of farmers adopting the improved

methods taught the boys, in spraying

were six hundred, and in seed testing

three hundred.

The Girls’ Canning Clubs.





In the successful club work of Sagi-

naw county the girls’ canning clubs

are a most important and interesting

feature. The ten canning clubs. with

a membership of ninety-six, completed

their canning projects with a total pro-

duction of 7,120 quarts, an average of

nearly seventy-five quarts to each

1nembe1.Many‘of the first year mem-

bers, intused with a keen desire to

make a receid, have canned as high as

two hundred and fifty quarts of fruit

and vegetables, a large percentage of.

which would undoubtedly have gone to

waste but'for their efforts. Du1ingi

the summer there were twenty- -eig11tl

public demonstrations of the cold— pack

method of canning, ten of which wele

given by the girls at the county fair,,

and showing the thmough training

they had received. In_this practical

way the girls have gained an insightl

them a certain pride in their work that

it would be'hard to excel. , ‘

An eloquent proof of the good workl

done is the fact that out of ten cansl

of fruit and vegetables sent from Mich-L

igan to washington to be exhibited ml

the National Museum, six were t'roml

Saginaw county. 1

That the club schedule is not all hard. ‘

work is shown by the record of severali

social good times enjoyed by the mem-

bers during the summer. Anbther ben-

eficial feature is the parliamentary

training derived by the members in

conducting their business meetings.

The, total value of the canned prod-

ucts preserved by the girls’ clubs was

$2, 737. 52, the total cost was $1 255 42,

leaving a net p1 ofit to the members for

their time and eff01t of $1,482.10. In

the work thirty members used the cold-

pack method with a production of

1,158 quarts; twenty-two members can—

amount for egg production.



By keeping the flock in‘ the condition

of that hen it will be possible to keep

most of them. laying quite regularly.

The thin 'pullet is not a» good layer.

The bullet that soon becomes baggy

from fat is apt to be a ”lifeless hen that

does not spend much time in laying.

Hens that are laying profitably us'e‘

the elements in making eggs that the

drone uses in accumulating fat.

a. hen stops laying and. becomes too

heavy she is in greater danger from

liyer trouble and other poultry dis-

eases. If such birds are' marketed

their chances for multiplying are end-

ed and the pullets can be raised from

the thrifty hens which are easily kept

in good laying condition and do lay.





FINE FEATHERS-OR EGGS.





HE exhibition and bred-to-lay

qualities can be combined to

some extent and it is often'done‘,

but the combination is not frequently

obtained in the low-priced stock which

makes up the bulk of the utility of

farm flocks. Too often the farmer who

wishes heavy egg-laying stock will buy

an exhibition cockerel in preference

to a cockerel from at l1igh111'oducing

hen.



The fine looking bird may have, no

pedigree of value and yet it will 100k

better. It is true that cockerels from

high-producing hens seem to have the

power of producing high-producing pul~

lets. It might not always be true but

it is the one cheap way we have of

trying to improve our farm flocks. A

cockerel from a fine laying hen is well

worth trying out as a. means of pro-

ducing a, more profitable farm flock.

Experiments have proven that it often

works successfully.



For example, the Barred Rock is a

breed rather difficult, for some begin-

ners to handle because of the double

mating system. They find it hard to

produce the beautiful barred to the

skin specimens which win. At the

same time we find the Barred Rock a

great favorite on the general farm.

The farm flocks are not bred for ex-

hibition but for was and meat.

year I have seen seveial i'aim breed-

ers buy exhibition males with great

pleasure and turn down males froma

bred-to-lay flock because Illose birds

were not as pretty and not barred ,to

the skin like the fine quality exhibition

stock.

the breeders of the other. But both

have their place in the pOultry wmld.

Bean Variety Work.



During the past year bean variety

tests included over five hundred Mich-

igan varieties and strain selections.

Many of these Were improved varieties

which Professor Spragg has been

working with for a number of years.

A large number were collected on

Michigan farms by Mr. Down and oth-

er members of the crops department.



In these tests the improved Robust

variety gave the highest yield. This

. BUYING NURSERY STOCK.





 





(Continued from page 148).





The nurseryman and the experiment.

station can afford to make variety





tests. The farmer can only do it on a

very small scale. Even that does not

pay unless there is time for experi-





menting and a deep interest in obtain- :





ing first-hand 'information.



Nursery companies are always ‘pre-

senting new varieties to the public and

often wonderful claims are made.





Sometimes the new varieties which

. were so loudly praised ten years ago





will seldom be heard of‘now. It Sim-





- ply means that they didn’t make good; I





‘But the old standard varieties are still

-for sale ‘and proving fairly profitable

whenever planted. Every once in a

.while a new l’ruit proves of unusual

value and good enouglrto partially re-

place some older variety. Information

about such fruits can usually be ob-

"tained from the state experiment sta-





tion. They have facilities for knowing ‘





how certain. fruits are turning out and

-may be able to tell more about them

than the nursery catalogs.



The farmer who expects to order

nursery stock of certain new varieties

should plan, if possible, to visit a prac-

tical grower who already has fruit of

"that variety in bearing. A very short





visit will bring out points about grow- ‘





ing. packing and marketing that vari-

ety of fruit which will prove usefiul in-

formation.



In- the modern nursery every possi-

his effort is made to keep the buds and

scions carefully separated. The trees

f1om which they come a1e carefully

malked as to variety. It gives the buy-

;er of nursery stock a large measure of

safety.

How Mr. Reber Prunes





HE when, where and how of

The “When” of pruning depends up-

on what you me intending to prune.

before growth starts next spring.

THE COMPLETE DORMAN T SPRAY





B G. PRATT COMPANY. 50 CHURCH STREET New 30!: Crrv





ontrols tip/11's too





ULLEI‘ IN 184- ot the Mass. Exp. Stpa., on page 52, shows that

D Scalccidc (1 to 15) was 100% cflicrcnt 1n k1lling aplus while hatch-

ing andwith only “slight injury ”to foliage when “/ inch ”open.”





‘Ont‘he other hand, lime- sulfur (1 to 8) killed less than 10% of the





aphis and caused “considerable 1njury’ ’; and lime- sulfur (1 to 8) with

mootmc sul hate (1 to 800) added, although effective, also caused





“considerab c injury,’





’the same as when limc- sulfur was used alone.





Scalccide controls aphis, when applied as a delayed dormant spray, as

the buds are showing green and the aphis eggs are hatching. And it

not only controls aphis, scale, leaf- roller, bud- moth, case bearer and

other insects that wmtcr on the bark, but also kills fungous spores

and controls disease—it IS “the complete dormant spray’ ’.’





Scales-id. Rog-rim Less Labor

One barrel 0? Scalecidc, which makes 800

gallons' of spray, will cover, until they drip,

as many trees as thxee and a half barrels of

lime- sulfur, which make 1600 gallons of

spray. And of course you can apply 800

gallons of Scalccxdc with much less labor





than 1600 gallons of lime- sulfm.





Scalccide 1: Pleasant To Use

Scalecide is soothing, healing and antiseptic

to the skin of man orbcast, whereas lime—sul—

fur is caustic and disagreeable. Scalecidc

does not injure even the eyes. It does

not corrode the spray pump nor clog the

nozzles, and being an oil, it makes the pump

run easier and last longer.

and seven 'days in the Week?

'How many, drink' any milk at: all? . p

" As a usual thing, a higher percent-

age of people in» cities term the habit

of drinking milk ,withtheir meals than

do those on- farms where milk is pro-

duced. It is. not at all uncommon for

the_co‘untry boy. or girl to go away to'

ning to wondel why he had never can

to to drink milk at home, 01 eat the

portion 'of .cottage cheese prepared by

his mother. .



A recent survey“ made in Michigan

(reveals that about seventy-three per

cent of the children whose parents





live on farms do not drink milk, and,





many refuse to eat milk products, such

as cheese, or butter. It has been stat.





ed that many of the “Drink a Glass a:

'Day” milk campaigns conducted in our

'cities have been instituted for purely.





commercial reasons. Granting that this

might, in some cases be true, we have

purpose, with the readers of the Mich.

igan Farmer.

The Michigan department of health





would merely like to see a larger per- ‘

:centage of rural children take advang





tage of. their opportunity to get as

much as possible 01' this best all-round

'food. For that is what milk is. It not

only tastes" good, but it makes bone,

muscle, and blood. It has been said

that the vigor and success of a nation

depend largely upon the amount 0t

milk its citizens (ll-ink.



. Milk is the best single food because

it contains a mixture of all the im-

portant things that we find in a mixed

diet. , \‘Ve find the same nourishing ele-

‘ments in milk that are contained in

a meal made up of meat and eggs, cer-

eals and sugar, oils and fats, with salt

and water. Milk is a fuel food: it conj

tains sugar arid fat, and the body

needs fuel foods to keep it .warm, and

to make it move in work and play. But

'milk is also a good food because it

contains those elements which repair

waste, aid g1 owth and builds flesh and

bone. .





We used to believe that children

grew Wlegged when permitted to

walk too young—that the weight of

their bodies was too much for the soft

bones of their bodies. But this is only

.a half—truth, and bow—leggedness is due

as much to the lack of lime in the

youngsters’ diet as to early walking.

Another reason children need mil-k,

lots of, milk, is that our perfect food

contains large quantities of lime need

ed in the building of growing bones





and teeth. To supply new material for: ,,





the bones of the body, adults need

milk arid the lime it contains nearly as





Milk is not a drink, primarily. it

should be eaten, not swallowed as a

beverage. To get a few}. ounces of

Milk should be “chewed,” taken in

small sips, rolled about the mouth, and

enjoyed much after the manner one

consumes a glass of malted-milk.

Children need milk because it con-

“tains a substance absolutely necessary

.1





Tuberculosis—Our six-year-old cow

came fresh some ten weeks ago. Up

to that time she had been a fairly good

cow, but. now she is not giving only

part enough milk to nourish her calf.

She has several bunches on body and

is fast growing thin. She eats fairly

well and drinks large quantities of wa-

ter. We are thinkingof killing her.

H. H., New Lathrop, Mich.——H.ave her





. tested with tuberculin and'if she fails





to react, then dry and fatten her. It

will not, pay to keep her for dairy pur:

,poses.





Spasm ol' Larynx.——Choking.——Would

be thankful for a little information in

regard ‘to pigs. They wiLl come to

the trough and suddenly fall back-

wards and lie doWn and kick just as if

they were dying. We had two die last

winter showing similar symptoms. We

feed them ashes and plenty of bran.





their swill, milk and food, also liquil’y

their meal to prevent choking, and

spread it out thin. Don’t allow the pigs

to become too hungry.





Bone Spavinrrl have a four-year-old

horse that has had bone spavin for the

past twelve months. Occasionally I

have applied remedies,. all ol‘ which

fail to reduce the bunchn Can the

bunch be removed? E. W., Monroe,

Mich.——Veterinarians consider it bad

practice to apply a mineral acid that

will dissolve a bunch of this kind. If

your horse is lame, apply one part red

iodide of‘mercury and four parts of

fresh lard every twelve or fourteen

days. Don’t forget to give the hOrse

a. rest. If not lame, leave him alone.





Suppurating Udder.——Will you tell

me what can be done for a cow that

has been troubled all summer, with’a

gathering in half of her udder? The

remedies I have applied fail to heal

the sores. L. C., Akron, Mich.——Her

symptoms are suspicious. Have her

tuberculin tested, for she may have

tuberculosis of the udder; if so, she

may have little value, as it might prove

unprofitable to feed her for beef. Ap-

ply tincture of iodine to wound and sur-

rounding parts once a day.



Failure to Come in Heat—I have

two sows that fail to come in heat. One

is twelve months old, never bred, the

other two years old, had one, litter of

pigs. The youngest sow is very fat.

0. J., Freeland, Mich—Give each sow

ten grains of ground nux vomicanand

sixty grains of powdered licorice in

feed two or three times a day, until

they come in heat. Exercise the young

sow more and feed her less grain.





Indigestion—4 have a few pigs five

'months old that have apparently lost

’their appetite and are inclined to gnaw

wood. Have. pigs which occasionally

pass a few worms. P. J. D.,, Ida, Mich

——Mix equal parts of ginger, gentian,

baking sodaran‘d’powdered wood char-

coal-togéther'and give each pig a tea-





. spoonful atta dose in soft feed twice

also good for the human body, and

Gombault’s Caustic Balsam is no ex-

proof of its merits. Rheumatism,

Backache, Neuralgia, Sprains, Strains,

external application can be treated

with absolute safety and the beneficial

results produced are all that could be

desired.

WHEAT





New export sales of wheat; during

the past week Were the smallest in a

long while, a fact which had much to

do with the decline in prices to the

lowest point in the last month. The

British government announced that it

would make no more purchases until

March 1 and the German government

was reported to be out of the market

until April 1. Other countries, such

as Italy and Belgium, which have been

rather persistent buyers heretofore are

turning to Argentine for their addition~

a1 sup‘plies. There is a strong suspi-

cion that these maneuvers are merely

an effort to break the price of wheat

in this country. The department of

agriculture has just reported stocks of

wheatin the United States on January

1, 1921. The total quantity of market-

able wheat, excluding farm consump-

tion and seed, was 320,000,000 bushels,

compared with 417,000,000 bushels on

hand a year ago. Wheat stocks on

farms were 192,000,000 bu. compared

with 208,000,000 bushels a year ago;

in country mills and elevators, 80,000,-

000 bushels compared with 124,000,000

bushels last year, and at points of

large accumulation 48,000,000 bushels

compared with 85,000,000 ,bushels a

year ago. These statistics are slightly

inconsistent with some of the facts

concerning receipts of wheat at termi—

nal markets and holdings reported

three months ago. If the figures are

correct, they indicate a very strong'





. position for the holder of wheat.





CORN ‘





New low prices on the crop for corn

were made during the past week. Re-

ceipts of cern at terminals are very

heavy and demandpis small from ship-

pers, exporters and industries. Current

prices for both the May and July op-

tions are high enough above the cash

market to enable terminal elevators to

buy the cash corn at a carrying charge





otherwise, prices would recede still-





farther. Export sales of corn declined

along with the demand for wheat. The

Argentine surplus which consists of,

about,80,000,000 bushels from the old

crop and the new crop in that country

providing an additional surplus of 240,-

(32,0? bushels will be available-after

y . ,





OATS





The, demand for cats was much





the year. and there is no immediate

hance the value of the'small grains to

some extent. Improvements in the mar-

kets for live stock will have the same

effect. Present. prices are low enough

to have discounted the heavy move-

ment of corn but values may dip still

lower» a time or two before the mid-

winter movement is over.





SEEDS





The decline in seed prices culminat-

ed early the past week and was fol-

lowed by a sharp rebound. Seedsmen

“in. most cases have not yet obtained

their complete springrequirements but

are not disposed to carry larger stocks

than necessary. The bureau of markets

'reports that fairly large imports of

red clover seed are on the way.





FEEDS °





Markets for feedstuffs in general

continue weak and lower prices were

established at Chicago and Kansas

City. At the latter market a new low

price for the season was reached on

bran. Values are still above average

pre-war levels and the cheapness of

farm-grown feeds does not indicate a

higher level of prices in the near fu-

ture. Slight increase in milling activ-

ity was one of the factors in the de-

cline at Kansas City.





BEANS





Michigan beans were unsettled the

past week, with lower prices on the

first sessions and some recovery later.

With the passing of tax settlement day

it is expected that the remaining

stocks in farmers’ hands will be more

firmly held. Remaining stocks of im-

ported white beans are estimated at

about 100,000 bags. Prices upon new

purchases of foreign beans are about

$4.50 per hundred pounds 0. i. f. in

bond Pacific Coast ports without the

duty. The cost at Chicago would be

about $6 compared with the Michigan

beans at $4.60. Prices f. o. b. Michi—

gan shipping points are $4.20 for the

choice hand-picked stock. Prices to

growers are around $3.50 in the dirt.





EGGS AND POULTRY





reports .were started in 916. Prices

are still high cempared w h most oth-

er foods and buyers are disposed to

avoid‘carryi-ng any larger supplies than

are necessary. Some foreign eggs con.

tinue to be, attractive by the high lev-

els here, Chinese eggs arriving during

the past week notwithstanding the

famine in China which the American

people are urged to alleviate. Poultry

prices at most advanced slightly.





' BUTTER





A general lack of confiden‘ceprevails

in the butter markets, due primarily to

offers of Danish butterat prices below

domestic. Although prices are much

lower than a few weeks ago buyers

are not convinced » that prices have

reached bottom andare confining their

purchases to minimum requirements.

A small cargo of Danish butter arrived

at New York and more is offered as

low as 411/40 0. i. f. excluding the duty.

Undergrades are, less abundant and the

range of prices between such butter

and the fancy grades is much narrower

than it has been recently. Prices on

92 score fresh butter on January 29 as

reported by the bureau of, markets

were as follows: Chicago 451/20; New

York 491/;c; Philadelphia 48%,c; Bos-





ton 50c.

POTATOES





The potato markets have shown but

slight changes during the past week

but closed lower than a week ago. Sup-

plies have been liberal and there ap-

pears to be no anxiety over future sup-

ply. Stocks on hand on January 1

were reported to be 145,286,000 bush-

els compared with 127,400,000 ’bushels

a year ago, and 174,973,000 bushels two

MORE “BEADJUSTM ENT” NEEDED.





, UCH more “readjustment” will be

necessary before the various ele-

ments of our economic and social ma-

chinery will again mesh together as

they should. Thus far readjustment

has been most effective in putting

things out of joint. The products of

the farmer and only a few others have

returned practically to the pre-war lev-

el. Freight rates represent a larger

fraction of market prices in the case

of farm products than they do in most

manufactured articles so that the full

extent of the decline in returns to the

farmer is not fully indicated by the

reduction in central market prices.

During the past week there has been

but little improvement in this condi—

tion from the farmer’s point of view.

Declines in a few articles which he

Buys have been offset by declines in

the prices for farm products. Prices

for farm products must advance or





factories must decline until they are

once more brought into the proper bal-

ance. The whole process is likely to

be'a slow one and require a long pe-

riod of time for its completion. The

farmer has been at the worst disad-

vantage during the last few weeks.



Changes in the future are more likely

on the whole to benefit than to harm

him.



Representatives of industrial and

financial interests have been endeav-

oring to show that the present trou-

bles of the farmer were due primarily

to capitalization of land above its ac-

tual earning power. It is true that

farm land values advanced about

eighty per cent from 1914 to l920,'but

if the element of rent were ignOred al-

together, present farm prices in many

cases would not pay this year’s cost of

production. The experience of many

tenants upholds that statement. Also

the farmer is given sole blame for this

increase in land values, whereas other

members of the local community were

probably equal in responsibility. It is

asserted by some of these critics, who

are endeavoring to speed the process

of “deflating” land values now

crop,prices have been “deflated,” that

the business man considers only his

actual investment in determining the

value of his business. This point 01'

View is in flat; contradiction to the in-

creased capitalization of many indus-

trial concerns during the last two

years which was merely an effort to

make permanent their temporarily

high earning power. Railroads wished

to have replacement cost considered in

appraising their value in the recent

rate case. Rents upon city real estate

have advanced even more sharply than

upon farm lands. Furthermore, a part

of the annual increase in farm land

value represents buildings, fencing,

drainage and other permanent im~

provements.



'It" is a well known fact that in the

past land has-paid in the form of rent,

only ‘a small rate of interest on its val-

uation. This has been offset to some

extent by the gradual increase in its

value per acre, and by'the safety of

the original investment. Apparently

the proponents of deflated land values

would deny to the farmer both secur-

ity of the principal and a. fair rate of

interest:



If farm lands are to come down in

price, there are a lot of other things in

the form of fixed wealth which also

must come down. '
