CURRENT COMMENT

MANY thousands
- of young men
Choosmg will be graduating
Work on from the high schools

the Farm of Michigan at the

end of the present

semester. Already these seniors are
considering their future course——

whether they will go on with their ed-
twational preparation for life at a high-
er institution of learning or Whether
they will immediately take up their life
work. Every young man should have
a general knowledge of the require-
ments of the more common occupa-
tions and professions that he may
choose the line of activity best suited
to his talents, and to that end we are
here suggesting thoughts regarding the
requirements, training and opportuni-
ties of the agriculturist.

There are few occupations requiring
more all-round ability and good sense
than does agriculture. To be a suc-
cessful farmer one needs a body that
will withstand the strain of heavy
work, exposure and occasionally long
hours of toll during seeding and har-
vest time. He must have eyes trained
to see the hundreds of things which
are necessary to be understood in or-
der to make advancement in the busi-
ness, and his hands must be accustom-
ed to the use of all the ordinary tools
and machinery. He should be a prac-
tical botonist, a soil chemist, a careful
bacteriologist, a good plant and animal
breeder, and a fair mechanic, and the
more knowledge and skill he possesses
along any of these lines the better able
will he be to meet the various and
complicated situations which are cer—
tain to present themselves. Modern
agricultural competition and methods
require further that to be successful
at farming, a man should have the
proper attitude toward his fellow farm-
ers to cooperate with them in the mar-
keting of products and in securing the
raw materials needed on the farm.

The prospective farmer should pre-
pare himself by securing both a mac
tical training and a careful schooling
in the various sciences relating to the
production of crops and animal prod-
ucts. Where one has not had farm ex-
perience he had better hire himself out
to some good farmer for a year or two
before he ventures alone. It would be
advisable to supplement this training
with a course at an agricultural col-
lege. A careful study of the work done
by the experiment station of the state
in which he proposes to locate will
m a. w excellent investment. He
W cultivate the acquaintance of a

few successful farmers "and row
books treating of the lines of farming
he desires to follow, and he should
keep up with the current news on top—
ics related to agriculture by reading
one or more reliable farm journals.

The opportunities for the young man
trained in agriculture cannot be paint-
ed quite as glowingly as has been the
future of some other occupations and
professions, but. taken all in all it is
more than probable that farmers as a
class get as much or more out of life
as do the members of any other class.
While there are very few farmers who
have amassed great fortunes from
their farming business, an unusually
large per cent of them have a compe-
tence above that enjoyed by the aver-
age city workers. Besides getting a
good living and enjoying conditions
that promote good health, the farmer
manages his own affairs and can go
and come more freely than can those
employed in large industrial organiza
tions. There is ample opportunity to
doing community work along both com
mercial and social lines. The well-
traincd agriculturist has opportunity
also for filling positions as teacher in
high schools and colleges having agri
cultural courses, as experimenters in
state experiment stations, as county
agents, as investigators of the various
branches of the department of agricul‘
ture, as agricultural writer-s, or as ex-
perts for some of the hundreds of in-
dustrial concerns requiring men with
an intimate knowledge of farming. In
fact, the person well-trained in agricul
lure would seem to have as broad a
field of attractive positions from which
to choose his life work as one trained
along any other line.

N spite of the fact

The Sugar that the orgamzed
B sugar beet growers of
eet the state have appar—
Situation ently failed to make a

“collective” contract
for their 1921 crop with the sugar com
panics, their efforts in this direction
have without doubt strengthened their
cause while the manufacturers’ refusal
to deal with the growers collectively
has weakened their position and placed
them in an unenviable light before the
great bar of public opinion. The grow—
ers’ campaign was conducted this year
without any of the turmoil, confusion
and bitter feeling which resulted from
last year’s efforts toward collective
bargaining, although it is probable
that the dissension in the ranks of the
growers resulting from last year’s bit-
ter strife enabled the sugar manufac-
turers to score a seeming victory over
the growers’ organization by seeming
sufficient individual contracts to insure
the operation of their factories this
year.

The method adopted by the growers’
association was to send out contracts
to sugar beet growers all over the
state, asking them to make the asso
ciation or the farm bureau their selling
agents for the 1921 crop. While hun-
dreds of growers complied with this
request, others signed the individual
contracts issued by the factories and
enough new growers were apparently
secured to enable the manufacturers
to refuse to deal with the organization
as a unit. As a result Manager Acker-
man, of the growers’ association, in a

statement issued last week, released.

the growers who had signed» the col-
lective bargaining contracts from, their
obligations.

This closes another chapter in the
sugar beet controversy, but does not
end the story. This is the day of col-
lective bargaining, and with further
constructive work along the line of
this year’s campaign by the associa-
tion this principle is bound to win, and
the sooner the sugar manufacturers
recognize this fact the better it will
be for them, and for the important
sugar industiy of the state.

purpose is to aid these two groups in

This division is directed by C. A.
Bingham, successful organizer and for-
mer secretary of the State Farm Bu-
reau, and J. P. Powers, former assist-
ant secretary of the same organiza-

more than half way.

gCostof Beet Production I

More Eficz'em‘ Metéods Repaired Under Pram! Cmu/itiom.-1)’y J. F. Cox

PPARENTLY most farmers have
A come to the conclusion that meth-

ods, which lead to increased
yields per acre and thus lessen the
cost per ton of beets or per bushel of
beans, are the methods which will best
meet present price conditions.

The possible profit from the sugar
beet crop is a matter of great concern
to sugar beet growers. Two factors
will control t‘eturns—~tlie price, and the
cost of production. The price will ulti-
mately be determined by the buyer and
seller—the beet sugar manufacturers
and the producer acting individually,
or collectively through the beet grow-
ers’ association of the farm bureau.
The matter of cost of production is
largely in the hands of the Divine
weather maker and the growers, and
the object of this article is to call at-
tention to a few practices which tend
to reduce the cost of production per
ton.

In general, it may be taken as safe
counsel to state that it will be safest
for each individual to grow the crops
which are best suited to his partic-
ular soil, climate and experience. For
instance, men located on strong loam,
silt. loam, and well-drained clay loam
soils in the Thumb district and south-
east. ot‘ the Saginaw Bay in central
Michigan, will find sugar beets and
beans dependable cash crops as in the
past, but there is certainly nothing in
present. conditions to justify the ex-
pansion of these crops to areas where
they are not particularly suited and
where production is not well under-
Stood.

The Seedbed Largely Determines

Beet Yields.

In preparing for most economical

yields from sugar beets, it is particu-

larly important that the seed-bed be
well fitted. The ground, whether fall-
plowed or early spring-plowed, should
be thoroughly fitted by discing and
harrowing. Beets need a deep, finely
worked seed-bed, well firmed in the
lower part of the furrow slice, and
with the surface in an excellent condi-
tion of tilth.

The cultipacker is an excellent tool
to use in securing a well firmed seed-

bed supplemented with three hundred
pounds of acid phosphate will pave the
way for a good yield of beets.

Most Michigan soils are greatly ben-
efited by applications of srtgar beet
lime, at the rate of from three to five
tons per acre, applied from four to six
years in the rotation. Not only is the
yield of beets increased, but. much bet.-
ter stands of clover and alfalfa are se—
cured, thus increasing the content of

 

 

bed, though the roller, followed by the
harrow. can be used to accomplish the
same results. A thorough working of
the seed-bed greatly lessens the cost
of cultivation between the l‘OWS after
the crop is planted, and goes far to-
ward insuring a satisfactory yield.
\Vhen fitting the seed—bed is an ex-
cellent time to apply fertilizer. Far too
little fertilizer is ‘used by most beet
growers. From three hundred to five
hundred pounds of a fertilizer, high in
phosphoric acid and potash, such as a

2-12-4 or 2-10-4, or three hundred
pounds of straight sixteen per cent.
acid phosphate will give the most

profitable returns with beets.

If ground has not been manured in
the fall, a top-dressing of eight or ten
tons, worked in when fitting the seed-.

organic matter and 'nitrogen, and im—
provingr the fertility and condition of
the soil. ‘
C‘omparalively early plantings on a
well—worked seed-bed give best results.
Plantings should be begun as early in
May as the seed-bed can be brought,
into condition, and is properly warmed
up. The usual period ranges from May
5 to May 20. The usual rate of plant»
ing is fifteen pounds per acre, in rows
twentytwo or twentyi'our inches apart.
Watch Blocking and Thinning.
Careful attention to blocking and
thinning will go far toward insuring a.
good stand. The largest. yields of beets

are secured when plants are spaced
from ten to twelve inches apart in
the row.

Blocking begins when beet plants

are large enough for extra handling,
or about the time when four leaves
have developed. It is important that
the strongest bunches, eight to ten
inches apart, be left in blocking, and
that in thinning the bunches, the most
vigorous plants be left. in place.

The workers engaged in blocking
and thinning should be given careful
attention to see that. this work is
properly done, since careless thinning
may easily lessen the yield by several
tons per acre.

The. first: cultivation should be given
just before blocking and should come
as close to the rows as possible with-
out injuring the plants. The next cul—
tivation should be given immediately
after blocking and followed by careful
hoeing, the dirt. being drawn carefully
around the plants without covering the
crowns. Cultivation should be given
at intervals of a week or ten days un-
til the beets crowd the rows. Usually
front four to six cultivations and tWO
or three hoeings are necessary.

The first and second cultivations
may be fairly deep between the rows,
but later cultivations should be of shal-
low depth, not more than two or three
inches, so as not to )lillllt’ the, feeding
roots, which tend to interlace between
the rows after thirty-tire or forty days’
growth.

The spring handling of the sugar
beet crop is most, important in deter—
mining yields. A thorough job of pre-
paring the seed-bed will greatly lessen
the cost. of controlling needs by later
cultivations. Extra. attention to the
seedbed and to blocking and thinning
are practises which increase tonnage
with comparatively little effort and ex-
pensc.

Warring Against the Cutworm

By Earle W. Gage

for the various destructive spe-

cies of cutworms are urgently
requested by farmers, market, garden-
ers, t'iuit growers. Many of our com-
mon cutworms pass the winter in a
partially grown condition and in spring
as soon as young seedling plants ap-

DURING May and June remedies

pear above ground orwhen such plants-

as cabbages and cauliflowers are trans-
planted in the field, many are cut or
eaten off near the surface of the
ground, or a little below it. in many
instances the young plant. will be found
to have been drawn partly into the
ground. '

Not all cutworms, however, feed in
this manner; some climb up fruit trees
or such plants as currants, gooseber—
ries, tomatoes, etc, and feed upon the
foliage or the fruit. In fact, when they
are excessively abundant they will at-
tack anything green and juicy. In
years of abundance some kinds, such
as the Variegated cutworin, the Spot—
ted cutworm, and the Black Army cut-
worm, assume the. marching habit, so
characteristic of the true Army cut-
worm.

The poisoned bran remedy is the
one which is now used most extensive-
ly for the destruction of cutworms gen-
erally. This is made by moistening
the bran with sweetened water and
then dusting in Paris green in the pro-
portion of half a pound of Paris green
to fifty. pounds of bran. It is import-

ant that the bran be noticeably mois-
tened (but not made into a mashvor
* gingistened too much to prevent its he-
‘n-{Ja «5: 3"?- ".=;~ s “1.43.“. ..-_.._,,__

ing crumbled through the fingers) so
that when the poison is added, it will
adhere to practically every particle.
Two gallons of water, in which half a
pound of: sugar has been dissolved, is
sufficient to moisten fifty pounds of
bran. The mixture should be applied

actually eat it. in preference to the
growing vegetation.

If the mixture is pttt out during a
warm day, it soon becomes dry and is
not, of course, as attractive to the cut,-
worms. In treating fields of hoed
crops, such as beets, turnips, etc., a

thinly as soon as cutworm injury is
noticed. It is important, too, that the
mixture be scattered after sundown,
so that it will be in the very best con—
dition when the cutworms come out
to feed at night. This material is very
attractive to them and when they
crawlabout in search of food they Will

simple method is to have a sack filled
with the bran, hung about the neck
and by walking between two rows, and
using both hands, the mixture may be
sca’aered along the row on either side.
When cutworms are so numerous as
to assume the walking habit, the poi—
soned bran may be spread just ahead

their line of march. in gardens,
where vegetables or flowering plants
are to be protected. a small quantity
of the material may be put around, but
not. touching each plant. ‘

Fruit trees may be protected from
climbing ctttworms in the same man-
ner, bill the mixture should, of course,
not be thrown in quantity against. the
base of the tree, otlicmvise injury may
result from the possible burning effect
of the Paris green. As an instance of
the remarkable effectiveness of the
poisoned bran, 1 would mention that
on one occasion when it was used to
protect young tobacco plants, about
one plant Were found seventeen, an-
other eight, another nine. and so on.

A very satisfactory formula to use
on the Variegated cutworm is as fol-
lows: Rran, twenty pounds; Paris
green, one pound; molasses, tWo
quarts; oranges or lemons, three; wa-
ter, three and a half gallons.

In preparing the bran mash mix the
bran and Paris green thoroughly in a.
wash tub while dry. Squeeze the juice
of the oranges or lemons into the wa-
ter and chop the remaining pulp and
the peel into fine bits and add them to
the water. Dissolve. the molasses in
the water and wet. the bran and poison
with the mixture, stirring at the same
time so as to dampen the mash thor-
oughly.

Scatter the mixture in places Where
it will reach the greatest number of
cutworms, spreading thin, and when
thus spread there is no danger of
birds, or live stock being poisoned.

THE MICHIGAN WOOL POOL SUC-
CESSFUL.

 

LL the optimism which the State
Farm Bureau has felt concerning
the inauguration of the 1921 wool pool
seems to be justified according to its
reports of the opening of the pool and
the first week’s grading. The grading
crew started May 2 at Mulliken in
Eaton county and received 6,600
pounds of wool the first day. It then
went to Eaton Rapids where the farm-
ers brought in 11,000 pounds, almost
double. At Charlotte on the third day
the grading crew was overwhelmed. A
.. second grader had to be secured from
Lansing and a second warehouse had
to be leased in which to store the wool.
It took hard work from six 3. m. to six
p. m. on the part of the graders and
their helpers to get all the work done.

From Charlotte the crew moved on
to Bellevue in the same county where
forty cars and wagons stood in line
when the graders began work in the
morning.

The large amount of wool being
pooled is no greater a source of satis-
faction to the farm bureau than is its
observation that wool is of a much
better quality this year than last. The
wool department has maintained all
along that the educational features of
its marketing system were equal in
value to its economic features. The
farm bureau reports that a single year
of selling wool according to its quality
instead of in bulk as is done in sales
to‘the ordinary wool buyer seems to
have made its effect noticeable al-
ready. Donald Williams, extension spe-
cialist in sheep husbandry of M. A. 0.,
who was present at Charlotte, says
that the condition of the fleeces show-
ed that the sheep had had better care
during the winter, that chaffy necks
were less in evidence and that a high-
er percentage of the wool was being
thrown into the upper grades than last
year. Quarter-blood and three-eighths
blood wool predominated. There was
only a very small amount. of “rejects,”
much less than last year. Mr. Wil-
liams believes that one of the main
reasons for this is that wool growers
realize more than ever before the ap-
proximately large amount of their wool
which was being graded “reject” and,
knowing that they can cut down this
amount by more careful methods of
feeding and tending their flock, have
profited by their experience in the 1920
wool pool.

The spirit of the wool growers seems
to be undaunted. “If we are beat at
this game now, we will lose it forever,
. but we are not going to get beat,” is
the expression of one of the leading
growers of Eaton county. Practically
all through the day from fifteen to
thirty farmers stood about the grading
table and watched which way their
fleeces were thrown. Questions were
frequent. As a demonstration each
one of these "grading days” are veri-
table colleges.

There have been two grading crews
in the field, one in Calhoun and Barry
counties and the other in Lenawee
county. The schedule of the grading
days in the future is as follows:

Branch County—May 16-17, Cold-
water; May 18, Bronson; May 19, Un-
ion City; May 20, Quincy.

A CATTLE INSPECTION TOUR.

 

_LEX MacVITTIE, county agent of

Tuscola county, is arranging with
the farmers of Tuscola and adjoining
counties to take a three-day trip
through a dozen counties impecting
the cattle and swine herds of some of
the best farmers in that part of the
state. It is planned that the tour shall
begin on the morning of May 23 with
approximately a hundred automobiles
in line. They will proceed in a south-
westerly direction through Flint, in~

specting the Frankenmuth herds and
visiting the Crapo farms at Swartz
Creek. Three stops are planned in
Shiawassee county. The tourists ex-
pect to spend the first night in Lan-
sing. On the following morning they
will visit the Michigan Agricultural
College and the State Farm Bureau
and about noon start south, visiting
the Livingston farm at Farms and the
Probert Jersey Farm near Jackson. At
Jackson the trail will turn eastward
through Washtenaw and Oakland
counties where a number of the best
stock raisers will be visited. They will
return by way of Lapeer. This is just
one of a number of similar tours which
it is understood are being planned in
various parts of the state. The object
is largely inspirational but the value
of the tour from an educational stand-
point has not been overlooked.

sentatives of milk produCers’

marketing organizations from
twenty-five states met in Chicago on
May 3—4, at the call of. President James
R. Howard, of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation to consider the coop--
erative marketing of milk and dairy
products. At the close of five sessions
packed full of meaty discussion the
conference unanimously recommended
that President Howard appoint eleven
representatives of the dairy industry
with the advice and consent of the
National Milk Producers’ Federation
to study the various cooperative dairy
marketing organizations and recom-
mend plans l'or strengthening them
wherever possible, for organizing the
territory not now organized and for
correlating the dairy products cooper-
ative marketing activities in a nation-
al way.

Other resolutions recommended that
the American Farm Bureau Federation
appoint a dairy marketing specialist in
its marketing department and that its
information department undertake a
milk producers’ advertising and pub-
licity campaign. The enactment of the
Capper-Volstead bill enlarging the
power of farmers’ cooperative market-
ing associations, and the amendment
of the bonded warehouse act to include
dairy products were favored. Present
freight rates were declared unbearable
and the senate investigation of the
railroad problem was approved. Leg-
islation being pushed by vegetable oil
interests furthering the manufacture
of dairy substitutes and prohibition of
the manufacture of “filled” milk was
requested. Treatment equal to that
accorded the products of the factory,
recognition of the difference in cost of
production between this and foreign
competing countries and of high
freight rates by rail compared with
ocean rates were asked for in the re-
vision of the tariff.

Because of the advanced state at
which cooperative marketing of milk
and dairy products has already arrived
in many localities or sections, the
meeting proved to be unusually fruit-
ful as a means of exchanging experi-
ences. Representatives of organiza-
tions from New England to California
and Oregon, representing every type of

MORE than two hundred repre-

producer of dairy products, described

their methods and revealed the points
of weakness and strength of their or-
ganization. Most of these were whole
milk marketing organizations around

large cities or those of medium size,

but cheese and butter marketing or-

 

ganizations and state-wide organiza-
tions covering all kinds of dairy pro-
duction were also represented. Finally
the problem of unorganized territory
was recognized as important for the
sake of the unorganized producers
themselves and also because of the in-
fluence which their methods of mar-
keting have upon the efforts of organ-
ized producers to better their own con-
dition.

In describing the origin of their or-
ganizations many of the representa-
tives told the same story of arrogant
dealers and distributors thoroughly or-
ganized, of unprofitable prices and op-
pressed dairymen. Many of them be-
came active about 1916 to 1918 when
conditions seemed to be at their worst.
Older organizations were then reor—
ganized on a more effective, business-
like basis.

N. P. Hull, representing the Michi.
gan Milk Producers’ Association, de-
scribed the growth of that organiza-
tion from its origin as a means of ob-
taining a better price from the conden-
saries until it was asked to take
charge of the Detroit district and the
formation of the Detroit Milk Commis-
sion. Thus far the organization mere-
ly has had bargaining power, but Mr.
Hull told of the plans to form 21 sep-
arate‘ organization with capital stock
of which the producers would hold at
least forty per cent, to engage in the
manufacture of dairy products and care
for the surplus of whole milk in sur-
plus periods of the year.

Mr. Hull stated that the farmers of
Michigan were not yet ready to adopt
the pooling idea. The organization has
had so little opposition in accomplish-
ing its purposes that it may possibly
lack the cohesion which outside at-
tacks usually beget.

Milo D. Campbell recounted the
achievements of the National Milk
Producers’ Association and discussed
the influence of unorganized territory
upon organized producers. He stated
that through organization milk produc-
ers had avoided tremendous losses;
that for each dollar spent for organi‘
zation in the last four years, fifty dol-
lars had been saved. He stated that
“prices for milk products cannot be
maintained at living prices with organ-
ized banditry going on among unorgan-
ized producers just outside. Whole
milk, butter, cheese, condensed and
other milk products-are in a chain in
which one weak link affects the whole.
Markets are larg‘r-ly regulated in the
“sag holes ”-

    

tho unorganized milk“

a .

areas where farmers take what is givs -

en them and usually at prices below
the cost of production. A survegr
should be made to find the are: .<
where lowest prices are being patl
and organize those farmers first.”

., D. D. Aitkin, of the Holstein-Friesian
Association, advocated an advertising
campaign of dairy products which
must be of a quality above reproavii
since consumers must'want the good;
or advertising will be fruitless.

The Twin City Milk Producers’ As-
sociation was described by H. R. Leon-
ard. This organization handles from
7,000,000 to 13,000,000 pounds of milk
a month, boasts own creameries, con-
densaries and cheese factories for the
handling of the surplus, has its own
testers in the plants of the distribu-
tors, guarantees all accounts and a
market at all times. Its handling
charge in 1920 was 5.7 per cent, or 20.1
cents per hundred pounds.

Mr. J. D. Miller, representing the
Dairymen’s League Cooperative Asso-
ciation, told of the transformation of
that organization to its present form
with 93,000 members in six states, all
tributory to New York City. The new
organization has just begun to func—
tion. It has bargaining power, can
name different prices for various uses,
can blend the returns, pool them with
differentials to various producers on
the basis of quality of milk and freight
to New York City.

W. J. Kittie, superintendent of the
Milk Producers’ Cooperative Market‘
ing Company, of Chicago, told of the
evolutions through which that organi
zation had passed. It handles around
1,000,000 pounds of milk daily and is
increasing its capital and acquiring
condensing plants to care for the sur-
plus milk. It looks forward to the time
when it can say to its distributors,
“ours and ours only.”

Richard Pattee carried the history
of the New England Producers’ Asso-
ciation back to 1872 and stated that he
believed the Boston milk producers
were the first group to be thrown into

jail for trying to get living prices for ‘

their product. The organization on a
New England wide basis was first es-
tablished in 1916. Members agree to
sell through the association. Sales
committees negotiate for the sale of
products in the greater Boston mar-
kets while local sales committees are
chosen for each local market branch
in the smaller cities, but a representa-
tive of the central association is also
a member of each local market com-
mittee. This organization is a bargain-
ing association. The laws of New Eng—
land require that facilities for actually
handling milk must be legally separate
but organizations of this sort are be-
ing formed by growers to make butter
and cheese, and also the cooperative
distribution of market milk is well on
its way with two large concerns oper-
ating in Boston.

Albert S. Hall, representing the Or-
egon Dairymen’s Cooperative League,
and S. N. Ayres, manager of the Cali-
fornia Dairymen’s Association, were
Pacific Coast representatives. Both of
these organizations are state-wide in
scope and in, sections in which the
whole milk interest is much less than
the milk manufacturing interest. Both
are built along the familiar California
Danish organization lines.

Mr. Hall described the five and a
half year old iron-clad contracts and
other internal details of the Oregon
organization in its relations to the
whole milk market, especially of Port
land, its twenty- seven factories, its
staff of experts, and its grading, stand-
ardization and advertising efloi’tb

SUALLY along about ten ‘days or

two weeks before corn planting

time somebody begins to get ner-
vous and when a few nice days ap-
pear they get their ground ready and
plant their corn. Once in a number
of times the practice is productive of
good results. But the feature I have
noticed most in regard to the extra
early plantings is that much of the
corn fails to germinate if the weather
is cool after planting and a thin stand
results. On good corn ground thin
stands are likely to be disappointing in
yield, for there may be from one to
three stalks missing to a hill, and if
the soil is fertile enough to grow three
stalks of corn we ought to have three
or very Close to that number on the
average.

The only way to secure those three
stalks to the hill is either to replant
the whole field or go along each row
and hand»plant the missing hills. After
one has put in his crop he doesn’t have
much enthusiasm to do either. Many
men simply let the thin stand go and
let it produce what it will; but if the
thin stand can be avoided or thicken-
ed somewhat the farmer is just that
much ahead and the results of his
year’s wonk are more satisfying. While

ripening grain, some of which may be
soft and immature, it has the advan—
tage of holding up the yield and utiliz—
ing the available fertilizing elements
in the soil.

When is the right time to plant
corn? As to date, one cannot specify
any time, for conditions of soil and
temperature are so variable from year
to year. If one is uncertain it is usu-
ally well to follow the majority of the
best farmers in a community; when
they begin to plant it will be pretty
safe to follow suit. If one. has a fairly
early-maturing strain of corn there is

no need of hurrying to get it planted;
it may pay handsomely to concentrate
a little more on the preparation of a
good seed-bed.

Corn we have planted after the mid-
dle of the regular season has done ex-
ceptionally well, largely because the
soil has become pretty well warmed
by that time and the seed germinates
quickly and the corn comes up rapidly
though not in a forced growth like it
would if the days were hot.

Corn germinatcs quicklyand a larg—
er per cent will germinate in a warm
seedbed. We can help wonderfully

in warming the soil by following good
tillage practices, and when we have
done this the sunshine and air will do
the rest. Soil that is made loose and
open near the surface has a. tendency
to warm faster than soil left hard,
packed and unstirred. The warm air
above it is permitted to circulate
through it, and impart some of its
warmth to the soil. The first warm
rains are readily absorbed and give up
some of their warmth to the soil also.
Bacterial action and the decay of vege-
table and all organic matter goes on
more normally in the porous soil which
adds that quality which hastens the
growth of corn.

The poorer or mere run-down the
soil the more reason there 'is to make
an ideal seed—bed. Every ounce of fer-
tility must be. utilized as made avail-
able. ()n a deep, rich, loamy soil we
can grow our corn without half trying
because the organic matter in it is
such as to make it loose and ideal to
work. But the poorer soil must be
worked into a fine state by a harder
course in order to yield up its plant
food; and it, pays. 11' we give our corn
the benefit of a good seed~bed and use
viable seed we may expect good re-
sults if we are a week or so late in
getting it planted, perhaps better than
if we are that much too early in
planting.

Shall I Grow Beans This Year?

HALL I grow beans again? That

is a problem confronting a large

number of Michigan farmers who
for years have relied upon beans as a
cash crop.

Throughout the United States and
even in foreign countries the state of
Michigan has been known for years as
a great bean-producing section. Our
yearly average of nearly a half million
acres producing over four million bush-
els of beans has placed us up at the
top of the list of bean-producing states.
There are many who believe that this
day has passed and that Michigan will
no longer occupy such a foremost posi-
tion. This opinion may be based upon
not a few economic principles, how-
ever, we find that there are also facts
which might lead one to conclude that
Michigan will continue to furnish the
world with three to four million bush—
els of choice beans.

Cash Must Be Available.

This is as true with farming as with
any other enterprise. Bean growers
depend somewhat upon this crop to
provide them with ready cash to oper-
ate the other phases of their business.
It is an axiom of life that if something
be removed a replacement is neces-
sary. If those thousands of farmers
who have depended upon beans as a
source of revenue do not grow beans
this year, what may they depend upon
as a. profitable substitute? That is an
economic problem that thousands of
Michigan farmers are studying.

Bean Substitutes.

ln considering a crop to take the
place ’of beans, one must first consider
at least two limiting factors, namely
time of the year and the soil. It is

now spring, hence we cannot consider
such fall sown crops as wheat and rye.
A large percentage of the soil usually
given over to bean growing is of a
light sandy loam nature and cannot be
depended upon to profitably produce
sugar beets and barley, hence these
spring-sown crops may be discarded,
except perhaps on some bean land of
darker and more fertile nature. If a
substitute is to be made, such crops
as corn, oats, buckwheat, potatoes, an-
nual hay crops, etc., are left from
which to make a choice.

A few bean growers have already
put in part of their usual bean acreage

'to oats but the time is now so late that

it is very doubtful whether much re—
turn would be received by planting
oats now. Many of those growers who
substituted. oats for the beans reason-
ed that oats required less work than
beans and if they are worth anything
at all that they would at least break
even on the deal.

In the bean growing district there is
quite a large acreage of buckwheat
produced, hence not a few heretofore
bean men are considering this crop
with the idea of getting a cash crop
which may be cheaply grown.

Potatoes and corn may be grown on
the’great majority of our bean soils
and in that the time of planting is still
well ahead of us one may quite easily
make such a substitution.

Among the annual hay crops we
have millet, sudan grass, soy-beans,
oats and peas, and oats and vetch.
The cash value of these forage crops
is usually not great and, in fact, those
growers who have mentioned the prop-
osition to the writer have not consid-

ered the direct sale value of these
crops. The plan in mind is to utilize
the annual hay crop for their own feed
requirements, selling the clover, timo-
thy, or alfalfa which they would ordi-
narily feed on the farm.

Only those heavier loanis may be re
lied upon to produce oats and peas for
hay, but most, of the bean land should
produce the oat and vetch combina-
tion. Very little bean land will profit,—
ably grow millet, sudan grass being
much better suited to such soils.

Not a few bean growers are using
soy-beans on part, of their acreage.
Some are growing the soys for seed

and from all indications there is a
good opportunity for a few, but if a

large number were to follow this prac-
tice the market would be quickly over—
supplied, with a resulting drop in price
and possibly a financial loss. Soy-beans
may be used for forage in the same
manner as the other annual hay crops.
Comparative Acreage Value.

The following data was obtained from
the January, 1921, Michigan crop report
showing an average value per acre for
the years 1905 to 1920 inclusive, ex~
cept‘ for beans, which is an average of

the seven years, 1914 to 1920, inclu-
sive:
Average Average Average
Crop. Yield. Price. Value.
Corn ....... 32.9 $ .80 .2548
Oats , ...... 32.6 .46 14.06
Beans ...... 9.7 4.08 36.58
Buckwheat .142 .84 11.26
Potatoes ....89. .68 57.55
Hay (tons).. 1.31 14.15 18.00

The bean growers will quickly notice
that the average price of $4.08 is witlr
out a doubt far greater than one may
expect for 1921 beans. The figures of

Mr. Church in the crop report show
that, in 1914 beans sold at $2.02 with
an average yield of 11.2 bushels per
acre, making an average value per acre
of $22.62. Probably these figures more
nearly correspond to the present con-
ditiOn than the average of the seven
years, which included the war—time
high prices. The same might, be said
of other crops mentioned above, corn,
oats and potatoes being quoted at pric’
es excessive of present-day quotations.

In 1910 with corn at titty-three cents
per bushel the average value. per acre
was $17.17. The same year oats sold
at thirty-five cents, totaling $11.90 per
acre. Thus it is seen that when lower
prices prevail beans will give larger
returns per acre than is received for
oats, corn, etc, but. not so in regard
to potatoes. “Spuds” in sixteen years
returned 011 an average of $57.55 per
acre, the lowest return being in 1906
when potatoes sold at thirty—four cents
per bushel, giving an average of $32.30
per acre.

Let us study the records made by
hay to see what those who are consid-
ering the growing of annual hay crops
in order to sell their clover, timothy,
etc, for cash. may expect. We find
that $18 per acre is the average return
at. the price of $14.15 per ton. The
lowest per acre return quoted by Mr.
Church was in 1905 when hay sold for
$7.70 per ton, yielding $11.24 to the
acre.

l’erhaps the conditions existing in
1914 correspond more nearly to those
of the present age. At that time hay
sold for $12 per ton, or $15.36 to the
average acre. Again we find that the

A Truly Remarkable Policy

The men back of the U S Mutual Automobile In-
surance Company had no sooner launched the
FULL COVERAGE, NO DEDUCTION POLICY
than they discovered they had put an 1dea .on
the market that was bound to win—on its merits.
An idea so practical—auto owners readily
grasped its positive protection.

It was evident that nothing could prevent the U
S from outstripping all its competitors and be-
coming the BIG MUTUAL Therefore, it was
necessary to devise the plan whereby the great
mass of members and Company could co-oper-
ate for their MUTUAL benefit.

The Plan

Mr. McGinnis conceived the idea of forming AUT_O
CLUBS in each community, thereby keeping~ 1n
touch with these local organizations and givmg
them confidence through co-operation. His idea
was so practical that it was immediately acted
upon.

The Man for The Job

Conforming with the above plan it was readily seen
that the success of the idea depended upon the
man chosen to put it over. COLONEL AUGUS-
TUS H. GANSSER was selected to take full
charge of developments, being chosen because of
his ability and previous experience in similar
work.

Colonel Gamer has worked out the idea of
A MOTOR TROOP FOR EACH COMMUNITY
A MOTOR SQUADRON FOR EACH COUNTY
A MOTOR CORPS FOR EACH STATE.

The local un1ts pare administrative. County and
state units are tactical only. Local troops (clubs)
will have the following officers:

Commander, Sponsor, Adjutant, Banker, Physician,
Counsellor, Chaplain, Historian, Solicitor, Aute-
mobilist and Guide. Each shall have a Motor
Board of not less than three nor more than nine
members. These shall hold office for one year
or until their successors are named and qualified.

If you want the soundest automobile protection that
can be given—get a policy in the U S MUTUAL.

If you want the cheapest Automobile Insurance ever
offered—get into the game with the U S MU-

'rHE MIOHIGAN FARMER

average bean grower is receiving a.
large1 financial return per acre than is
he who has depended on the other
spring crops for cash, that is, except
potatoes.
Cast of Production and Market
Factors.

One should go further with his study
of this problem and take into consid-
eration the cost of production. Oats
and hay bring less return than beans
but they do not require as much labor
to produce them. The cost of produc-
tion of corn will not vary so much
from beans but we know that spraying
and other operations increase the cost
of growing potatoes until the financial
returns received per acre for potatoes
does not look as large as the tables
would indicate.

What about the market? Another
perplexing problem. Oats and com are
worth very little. The Michigan farm-
er cannot hope to compete with the
com belt farmer in IEllE‘ ing and map
keting corn, hence it would appeal
that the bean grower of the past might
better depend upon beans for a cash
crop than to take up corn, especially
when com can be raised in Argentina
and laid down in New York at a lower
figure than freight coat is from Chi-
cago to New York.

If the bean grower raises potatoes
as a substitute he will meet the com-
petition of the already established po-
tato growers who are now “up against
it” in trying to break even on the 1920
crop.

A few bean men have indicated that
they would divide the acreage and
gTow one—half each of potatoes and
beans and thus not have all their eggs
in the same basket.

What About Alfalfa?

At least one Michigan bean grower
is of the opinion that alfalfa is about
the best crop to put on bean land. The
arguments in favor of this plan are that
there would be an improvement of the
land that would add to the production
and soil value of the farm and that
alfalfa may be utilized as both a. feed
and cash crop. One man stated, “on
a three-year average I can raise fifteen
bushels of beans to the acre which,
selling at $3.00 per hundred pounds,
returns in cash $27 to the acre per
year, or a total of $81 for the period
of three years.”

“I can put in the alfalfa and during
the first year while the crop is estab-
lishing itself there is no revenue re-
ceived but during the next two years
from the same land I would expect to
harvest four tons of hay per acre per
year, 01* altogether, eight tons of alfalfa
hay, which allowing $12 per ton would
net me $96 to the acre. I believe that
ialfalt‘a may be produced at a lower
cost than beans, hence the alfalfa bus-
iness is even more profitable than the
above figures would indicate, especial~
ly when you consider that I would ex-
pect. to pasture my alfalfa some and
in the end would turn under a large
amount of valuable plant food to en-
rich my land. Beans never have done
,‘that but, in fact, the reverse is more
l true. we sell the beans from the farm
thereby taking considerable plant food
jfrom the land. The pods and vines are
§fed to the sheep, usually with consid~
[en-able loss of manure.

“N0——l need a cash crop but it will

Enot be twenty acres of beans this year.

if shall put in ten acres of beans, ex-

;pectlng more in return from them than

“Perhaps next year will find that ten

{my future cash crop will be ten acres

lpoint that perhaps many could well
consider.”

If one is only a ten-bushel per acre
bean grower he must receive a good

profit on the crop; however, if be it
like quite a few and harvests twenty
01' more bushels to the acre he is not
so dependent upon the higher prices.
If a man receives $3.00 per hundred
pounds for fifteen bushels of his beans,
he who produces twenty bushels re—
ceives returns that would make his
crop worth, comparatively speaking,
$4.00 per hundred pounds, while the
twenty-five bushel producer receives
$5.00 per hundred pounds.

The overhead expense of preparation
of the seed-bed, land rental, investment
in implements, seed, etc, is as much
for ten to fifteen bushel crop as for a.
twenty to thirty bushel yield, so we
should expend every effort to produce
the maximum yield and thus lower the
productive cost of a bushel which then
may be profitably marketed even at a
lower price.

PROGRESS OF PACKER CONTROL

XTENSIVE hearings have been in

tee on agriculture, on packer control

slderatiou with some prospects that 1':

es. The bill places the administration
of the packers under the secretary of
agriculture and of the stock yards un-
der the interstate commerce commis-
sion.

Representative Sidney Anderson, of
_Minnesota,’ proposes an amendment
providing that the federal law shall
not supercede state authority to con-
trol packing houses and stock yards
Within the state. Minnesota, which is
foremost in farm cooperation, has
exceptionally well managed state con-
trolled stock yards at South St. Paul.
and it is working so well that Minne-
sota people do not want any interfezu
euce by the federal government in the
management of their stock yards. R.
J. W'ells, supervisor of the state public
stock yards of Minnesota, said that in.
Minnesota there were between five
hundred and six hundred cooperative
associations of live stock breeders and
shippers. The weighing in the yards
is all done under state inspection, and
last year more than 4,271,000 animals
were weighed in the yards without a.
complaint.

In discussing the Haugen bill Dr. T.
C. Atkeson said he could see no 1'93:
son why there should be two adminis-
tration factors. If he were writing the
bill he would substitute secretary o"
agriculture for interstate comment»
commission, placing the control of
both yards and packers under the de‘
partment of agriculture.

The American Farm Bureau Federa;
tion has d1afted a bill which differs
from the Haugen bill in that the aux
thority to enfo1ce the law 3116 regula-

{ions is placed with the secretary of

 

agriculture for both the packing, plants.

Experiment Station W rat/er

URING the past two years a

number of tests with various for-

age crops have been conducted
by the farm crops section of the Mich-
igan Experiment Station. Some of the
results obtained, together with a few
statements concerning the new proj-
ects now being started are discussed
in the following paragraphs.

Soy-bean Tests.

The outstanding superiority of well-
adapted varieties, such as the Manchu,
It'o San, Black Eyebrow and Early
Brown, over varieties that are not well
adapted to Michigan conditions, has
been clearly demonstrated. In a two-
year average the well—adapted varieties
listed above have yielded frfin two to
two and four-tenths tons of air-dry hay
per acre, while the varieties not well
adapted, such as Mammoth Yellow and
Ogemaw, have yielded less than three-
quarters of a ton of air-dry hay per
acre. This difference is great enough
to make either success or failure, de-
pending upon the variety used. Seed
of both the adapted and the unadapted
varieties has been offered freely to the
farmers of Michigan and the farmer
should be careful which he chooses.

Various times, rates and methods of
sewing soy-beans have also been made,
and it has been found that for hay pro-
duction under present conditions they
should be sown at: the rate of thirty—
five pounds of seed per acre in rows
twenty—eight inches apart, the latter
part of May. Bulletin No. 100 on soy-
beans may be secured from the direct-
or of the experiment station, East Lan-
sing, Michigan.

Short Season or Emergency Hay

Crops.

Owing to the frequent failure of clo-
ver it is oftentimes necessary to make
use of crops from which a crop of hay
may be secured the first season. A
large number of these crops have been
tested. \Vhen possible it is advisable
to make use of leguminous crop or mix-
tures containing legumes.

Cats and Peas.

Quite satisfactory yields have been
secured by sowing a mixture of one
bushel of oats and one bushel of field
peas at the rate of two and one—fourth
bushels per acre during April. This
mixture yielded one and three-fourths
tons of hay per acre, while oats alone
yielded one ton per acre. This mix-
ture is quite well adapted to the loamy
soils of northern Michigan.

Oats and Vetch.

A yield of two tons per acre was se-
cured by sowing two bushels of oats
and twenty pounds of hairy vetch seed
during April. It is recommended in sec—
tions where hairy vetch has proven
adaptable.

Millets.

The Golden, Hungarian and Common
are the most important millets and
yielded in the order named with but
little difference in yield of Golden and
Hungarian. The Hungarian, however,
is better adapted to low, moist soils.
A yield of two and one—fourth tons of
hay was secured by sowing Golden mil-
let at the rate of twenty-five pounds of
seed per acre the first week in June.

Sudan Grass.

This crop has given a slightly higher
yield of hay per acre than the millets,
and while a little coarser it is consid-
ered a safer feed for horses and has
about the same feeding value as timo-

-°snoaangwewm...“

 

 

wit/z Forage Crop Quertz'om

thy. It is from a week to ten days
later in maturing than Golden millet
and not adapted as far north. The best
yields were secured by sowing twenty-
four pounds of seed per acre the first
of June. Circular No. 42 on Short Sea
son Hay Crops, is available for free"
distribution by the Michigan Experi-
ment Station.

Alfalfa Tests.

Early alfalfa tests have shown the
superior winter hardiness of Grimm
and other variegated strains, such as
Baltic and Cossack. Since Michigan
produces only a very small amount of
the seed sown in the state each season
it is necessary to sow large quantities
of. seed that is grown in other states
as well as foreign countries. To secure
complete information concerning the
adaptability of seed produced outside
of the state samples of both the com-
mon and variegated strains have been
secured from all seed-producing states
as well as from foreign countries from
which seed is imported into the United
States. These samples have been sown
on carefully checked plats on the ex-
periment station field and are open to
the inspection of Michigan farmers.

Red or June Clover Tests.

Preliminary tests have shown the
superiority of Michigan-grown red or
June clover seed for Michigan condi-
tions. However, since large quantities
of red clover seed have been imported
into the United States, especially from
southern France and Italy, it has been
deemed advisable to secure samples
from all available sources and seed in
plats similar to the alfalfa plats. The
preliminary tests indicated that much
of the red clover seed from southern
Europe was less winter-hardy and
more susceptible to anthracnose than
Michigan-grown seed.

Sweet Clover investigations.
llubani.—This new annual strain of
sweet clover is being tested with oats,
barley, wheat and rye as companion
crops as well as being sown alone at
different times and rates. Seed secured
from Alabama is also being compared
with Michigan-grown Hubam. The test
will undoubtedly be of great value to
the farmers of the state because of the

interest shown in this new crop.

White Biennial Sweet Clover.—This
is the strain ordinarily grown in this
state. Since the yields of hay and
seed are influenced greatly by the time
of harvesting, the height of cutting and
the stage of growth of the plant, tests
are being conducted along these lines.

Field Pea Tests.

Variety testing of both forage and
seed production is being started this
spring. The oilice of forage crop in-
vestigation of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture is cooperating
in this test and has supplied seed of
nearly one hundred of the most im-
portant varieties. Seed has also been
secured from various commercial
sources and from county agents. A
similar test is being conducted at the
experiment station in the upper penin-
sula under the direction of Mr. G. W.
Putnam. Michigan is one of the larg-
est producers of field pea seed and is
called upon to furnish large quantities
of seed for planting in other states.
More complete information concerning
the adaptability and purity of varieties
will unquestionably be of value to the
farmers of this state—C. R. M.

Potash for Swamp Land

OES the corn grown on your

swamp or muck land look like
the large ear or like the small one? The
small one shows the kind of corn pro-
duced on potash hungry muck land.
When 100 to 200 lbs. per acre of
Muriate of Potash, or 400 to 800 lbs.
of Kainit, are broadcasted on potash
hungry muck, full yields of sound corn
are produced.

For onions, on such lands, 100 to 200 lbs.
per acre of Sulfate of Potash is the
right amount to produce full yields of
sound onions that ripen normally and
keep well.

With potatoes and truck crops, like
results are obtained.

Even at war prices potash gave a good profit
on swamp lands. Now it can be bought for
very much less. It will help you reduce the
cost of production. and greatly improve the
quantity and quality of your crops. There
is plenty of it if you will take the trouble to
insist on having it.

I Make it yourself

ERE’S a simple machine that makes cooking

fuel and light from crushed stone and water.

You can set it in the cellar or in an outbuild-
ing. The only attention it requires is a little carbide
about once a month.

The Colt Carbide Lighting-and-Cooking Plant is
a simple mechanism for mixing carbide and water to
produce fuel which gives the hottest flame known;
and light that is the nearest approach to soft sunlight.

City conveniences for every farm

With a Colt plant on your place, you can make the finest
fuel for hot-plates or flatirons. You can make artificial sun-
light that will make your place a beacon of cheer in the gloom
of moonless night, a veritable oasis of sunshine in the desert
of darkness.

A Colt plant will give you added prestige and standing in
your community. Your farm will be pointed out as one of
the show-places of the vicinity. Your neighbors will accord
you that consideration that invariably attaches to the pro-
gressive agriculturist.

A Colt plant is easily installed and the cost is very reason-
able. Unless you have to pay for water, the only expense
after installation will be for the carbide, which is readily
obtainable in every rural comunity. An automatic shut-off
precludes the possibility of waste.

A NEW STANDARD OF EFFICIENCY IN THE

USE OF MATERIALS

HEREVER business men gather

together today you 11 Jar of economies
in production-—new standards of efiieiency
for labor, for machinery and in the distribu-
tion, of finished products.

Reconstruction demands lower produc—
tion costs and higher relative values.

It demands a new standard of efficiency in
the use of materials; and especially true is
this in the use of lumber.

It may surprise you to know that the serv—
ice value of the average purchase of lumber
could be increased 100%), if the buyer chose
the most practical wood and the most eco—
nomical grade for a given purpose.

{97‘

Lumber is more intimately woven into our
complex industrial fabric than perhaps any
other basic material. In the production of
coal, in the manufacture of machinery, in
the dis‘trilmtion of countless commodities
where we least. expect it, lumber touches
every home, every farm, every business in
the land.

That. is Why an enlightened lumber service
is important in this period of industrial
reconstriuttion and in the great. era of home—
building that. is ahead.

Lumber is capable of the same close. analy—
sis as is a bar of steel or a block of concrete.

For years there has been accumulating a.
mass of close-knit knowledge about the kinds
of wood. their service values and adapta-
bilities.

'l“ew men are aware how well—rounded and
scientific this knowledge of lumber is.

The strength of the various species.
Their durability. Their service qualities.

What kind of lumber is best adapted to
the manifold industrial uses. Which will
give the longest, service under exposure to
the weather. \Vhat kinds are most suitable
for ctmstruction purposes, and what for
interior trim.

Add to this the advanced knowledge of
wood preservathmw and you begin to see
the far—reaching benefits of this lumber

service.

What. we advocate is conser 'ation and
economy through the use of the right, wood
in its proper place.

To this end we will supply to lumber
dmlers and to the public, any desired infor-
mation as to the qualities of the dilfcrcnt
species and the best, wood for a given pur—
])().\'(‘.

This service will be as broad and impartial
as we know how to make it. \Ve are not
partisans of any particular species of wood.
\Vc advise the best lumber for the purpose,
whether we handle it or not.

From now on the \Veyerhaeuscr .lfi‘orest.
Product's trade-mark will be, plainly stamped
on our product.

“hell you buy lumber for any purpose, no
mat ter how much or how little. you can look
at the mark and know that: you are getting
a standard article, of known merit. 4

ADVANTAGES OF LIME.

 

R. KUNZE’S edition of the Sault

Ste.‘ Marie News, has a little
preachment this week on the advan—
tages of liming the soil, pointing out
that it corrects acidity, improves the
condition of heavy soils, supplies lime
to growing plants and helps to make
available other elemenljs in the soil,
and that it stimulates the decomposi-
tion of organic matter in the soil. Chip-
pewa farmers are reported to be in-
creasing their use of lime, which is
not a difficult matter for them, in View
,of the fact that abundant original
sources of the material lie close at
«hand, both in the quarries along the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Rail
way and the 800 Line, and also from
the waste at the Carbide Plant in Sault
Ste. Marie. Much commercial fertiliz~
or is also being ordered by Chippewa
farmer's this spring.
COUNTY AGENT ACTIVITY IN

CLOVERLAND.

 

 

 

R. J. W. WESTON, the assistant

state leader of county agents in
the upper peninsula has recently pre-
pared a narrative report of work in
this section during the past winter
months. M1. Weston informs us that
3 the organization of the Michigan State
{Farm Bureau campaign was completed
fby the solicitors in November, 1920.
Illuring the winter months following,
,the local organizations were rounded
Iout and completed, with the establish-
ing of a solid connection betWeen the
locals and their members both. on the
basis of loyalty and business relations.
One telephone company has been 01‘-
ganized in the rural section of the dis»
Mia, and prospects are good for an
electric power and light company.

 

Under the head of soil improvement,
the county agents have promoted the
use of commercial fertilizer and of
lime where farmers have had difficulty
in getting good stands of clOVer.‘ About
eight cars of lime haVe been ordered
for spring delivery, and twelve cars of
commercial fertilizer, and arrange
ments have been made 1‘0r demonstra-
tions on the use of manui-es, lime and
fertilizer, and for drainage demonstra—
tions.

Mr. Weston thinks this an excellent
time to promote land-clearing, while
labor is cheap, and he reports ship
ments of considerable quantities of
TNT, of which some six carloads were
ordered last winter in addition to
what was ordered last fall. This, Mr.
Weston states, represents a saving of
about $30,000 as compared with dyé
namite.

The treatment of cereal grains for
smut has become a regular feature of
farm operations in this territory, says
Mr. Weston, and the agents are con-
tinuing to send out literature and in
formation to the “doubting Thomases”
who question the utility of this pro-
cedure.

Additional demonstrations of sun
flower ensilage are to be put on this
year with a campaign for more silos.
In regard to sunflower ensilage, Mr.
Weston quotes the results of. tests
made at the Emblegaard Dairy near

Much of the grain Seeds that will be

 

  

 

planted in upper Michigan this spring
have been ordered through, the State
Farm Bureau. Black rust has affected
spring wheat during the past two years
and not much planting of this crop is
expected in Mr. Weston’s territory this
season. He reports a considerable in-
crease in the growing of barley as a
substitute for corn here. There is a
noticeable increase in the demand of
farmers here for clean and improved
seeds. County fair premiums are giv-
en credit for promoting improvement
both in regard to farm crops and live
stock in this section.

Several county agents, having been
chosen secretaries of the county fair
associations in their counties, are now
in a better position to further this
good work. The promotion of a better
agriculture is the underlying motive in
this arrangement, it is stated.

URGES THE GROWING OF SUGAR
BEETS.

 

HE Menominee County Journal of

Stephenson urges the advantage
of sugar beets as a cash crop for the
farmers of its territory, pointing out
that: if farmers in other slates can find
it profitable to raise beets at $6.00 per
ton on high-priced land, $7.00 a ton
should make it Worth while on our
cheaper lands.

CROP EXPERIMENTER RECOM-
MENDS FERTILIZERS.

 

R. G. W. PUTNAM, crop experi-

menter at the Chatham Experi—
ment Station of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, has been conducting a
series of farmers’ institute meetings
in Baraga county. He is reported to
have expressed a belief. that upper pe<
ninsula farmers should be growing
their own seeds. “Most of our soils
are supplied with suflicient supply of
potash,” he said, “and it. is not usually
advisable to sow this except. on pota-
toes or root crops, when a high-grade
commercial fertilizer such as a 28-6
may be used. Some experiments were
run last year at, the expel-uncut sta-
tion," he said, “on the use of a. com-
plete fertilizer on potatoes and an av-
erage increase of seventy-five bushels
per acre Was received where the for—
tilizer was used.”

TIMBER RESERVES.

 

UPPER Peninsula newspapers have

widely quoted the estinmies of
standing timber, recently given out by
Mr. Rollin Payne, chief timber exam-
iner of the state tax commission. Mr.
Payne’s estimate for standing saw tim-
be‘r in the fifteen counties of the upper
peninsula is put at 26,207,875,000 board
feet, which is much under that of oth‘
or sources of information, such as the
forest service of the United States.
We have for a long time recognized,
however, that the files of the state tax
commission should contain the most
exact data relating to our timber re-
sources, and if M1: Payne’s estimates
are based upon the records in the Lan—
sing office, they should be close to the
mark, as such things go. It would
have been Well if, years ago these tax
commission records had been gone
over by agents of the tax commission
or the public domain commission with
a view to determine just where We are
at in regard to our forest resources.
Mr. Payne's table credits Gogebic caulk
ty with the most present standing tim-
ber in; upper Michiganws,390.m,000
feet, with automaton next with its 3',-
163,500,000 feet, and Marquette with
3,000 000,000 ' Chippewa has 2, 720 H000 -
000 feet, and Iron 2,062 500.000. This
looks all right.

‘ Strawberry Blacik Root

By G. H. 00072:

My strawberry plants seem to be
dying here and there over the patch. I
noticed a. row or two die last summer.
What is it and what can I do for it?

Berrien Co. F. C.

For many years strawberry growers
have complained of a disease called
black root which has in many cases
been serious enough to destroy whole
patches.

Fletcher, in his book on strawberry
growing, mentions the disease and sug-
gests that bacteria are responsible. No
investigation has been made on the
disease.

It is characteristic of this disease
that the roots turn black and the cor.
tex (outer part) of the root loosens
and peels readily from the center of
the root. This core is not discolored.
Similarly the crown of the plant may
be blackened, but the heart is sound.
Plants with aflected roots frequently
bear a crop, only to wilt and die with
the warm summer weather.

The only fungus associated constant-
ly with diseased plants is the fungus
Rhizoctonia, well known in its attacks
on other plants, such as potato, beans,
geranium, etc. The diseased tissue is
heavily infested with threads of this
fungus. It is characteristic of the
black scurl‘ fungus, which attacks such
a. wide range of hosts, to cause a dis-
order cf the cortex and to attack the
underground parts. It would seem that
Rhizoctonia. might be an important fac‘
im- in black root.

Black root is worst where strawber-
ries foliow‘ strawberries closely, as in
garden soils and in very rich soil. It
seems to be especially common with
nursery plants which are delayed in
transplanting. In seasons where the
spring is excessively wet, new plant-
ings suffer. Flooded soils, poorly drain-
ed soils, soils of fine texture which
compact readily, show a high amount
of the root rot. Soils which tend to
be cold will show a higher amount of
infection. These conditions under
which black root is most serious are
exactly the ones which favor Rhizoc-
tonia. This is another bit of evidence
as to the cause of the trouble.

It is a. well known fact that straw-
berries wlnter-kill when not properly
mulched. Much of the suspected black
root is probably winter injury. Winter
injury with small plants like strawber-

Things Learned

T one time the writer assisted with

experimental work in spraying
fruit orchards and worked with men
who had made a. business of spraying
carefully to obtain accurate results.
We found that it paid to clean up the
spray tank, engine and hose after each
application. The nozzles and rods
were thoroughly flushed out. Spray
chemicals are so strong that many out-
fits are injured by improper care after
use. A good hose will also be reduced
in life if it is not cleaned after use.

We found that the nozzles of simple
construction were best. They did not
clog frequently and the material was
easily dislodged if they did clog. We
found that the angle nozzles were bet-
ter than straight nozzles. With the
angle nozzle it was possible to change
the direction of the spray dope with a
slight turn of the wrist. These angle
nozzles enabled us to get in under the
trees and place the rod high up in the
branches where with a slight turn the
spray could be sent out in all direc-
tions.

The new variable spray rod is a
big improvement (Wer the old disc noz-
zle, as it makes it. easy to spray trees
of most any size from the ground. The
only danger is that one is likely to
become careless and use .the~_coarse',

ries is apt to be most serious in a
year when the snow covering is scanty,
and alternate freezings and thawings
occur. Killing out of an entire patch
in an exposed location would probably,
best be attributed to winter injury,
since a fungous disease is more apt to
be irregularly distributed or to occul‘l
in patches in, a field.

Control measures are difficult to out-
line for such a commonly occurring
disease which presumably is caused by“,
the fungus Rhizoctonia. Rhizootonia.
occurs in virgin soils and is especially,
abundant in soils devoted to root crops.
Grain crops seem to reduce the Rhi2<
octonia infestation of soils. The utili-
zation of soils which are otherwise
suitable and which have previously}
borne grain crops is suggested for pro‘
jected strawberry plantings. Certainly,
strawberries should not follow strawi
berries. The choice of plants with.
sound, bright roots instead of plants
with part of the roots blackened, is
certainly to be advised. Some day a.
root treatment may be devised, but
none is known now. These measures,
along with general ones, protection of
the plants from winter injury, the use
of proper mulch and adequate drain~
age. are all that can be suggested.

For a patch badly affected the only
suggestion that can be made is to im-
prove general conditions and to stimu-
late new root formation from the diSv
eased plants by use of a light dressing
of well-rotted manure or by a Weak
solution of sodium nitrate. A new
source of plants should be sought for
new plantings. A strong strawberry
plant with sound, clean roots is worth
what it costs.

STRINGING PORCH CLlMBERS.

 

IN putting up strings on which porch

climbers are to run, instead of ab-
taching the lower ends of the strings
to sticks stuck in the ground, take nar~
row boards and drive small nails part
way in. Lay the board down flat. and
tie the strings to the nails. This looks
much more neat, is more easily work-
ed around, and prevents weeds from
coming up between. By there being a
number of strings fastened to the
board, it makes them much less likely
to be disturbed by strong winds which
often pull the single sticks up.-—~H. S.

About Spraying

strong spray on nearby parts of the
tree and thus cause spray injury.

Experiments proved that it was not
necessary to saturate trees with the
mixture to obtain good results. We
did not leave the tree dripping but
placed on just enough to cover every
bit of bark or foliage with a film of
spraying material. This made it. neces-
sary to keep the spray rod always on
the move. The careless rodman is apt
to spray too much on one place and
then skip other places. This leaves
parts of the tree without protection
while other sections are drenched. It
is good business to keep the rod mov-
ing all the time when spraying.

We found that a long line of hose
made it easier for the rodman working
on the ground. Then he was not cov~
ered with spray dope by the man work-
ing in the tower. And he was not
jerked forward by the moving of the
team before completing his work. We
found that a tank filler saved time in
making up the mixture and that suit-
able clothes for the work saved time
in putting it on the tree. A pair of
goggles often proved useful in keeping
the spray mixture out of the eyes on
windy days. A substantial pair of,
gauntlet gloves were needed to keen

PRE-WAR LAND CLEARING PAID
BIG.

  

 

OSSIBLY you can use a little con-

tribution from a subscriber. We
all rememberthe agitation in 1915 in
favor of clearing more land, producing
more crops to feed the world at war.
A good many farmers refused to spend
money to clear additional acreage, and
I believe most of those that did any
clearing "acted from humanitarian mo-
tives and were gravely in doubt about
whether it would pay.

Now that it is all over some of them
like to tell how they made out. Hon.
Charles P. Wheeler, of Three Rivers,
Michigan, was one of the public spirit-
ed men who decided to clear fifteen
additional acres to enable him to pro-
duce more food.

There were about fifteen hundred
stumps on the plot. Two men cleared
it with one ton of forty per cent am-
monia dynamite in two and a half
weeks. The clearing cost $412.50.

It is gratifying to be able to report
that Mr. Wheeler’s patriotism turned
out, to be very profitable. Those that
took the chance—and it. was a chance
——deserved to do well. Mr. Wheeler
} told me recently that he had sold near-

ly $4,000 worth of hay, grain and pota-
toes off the fifteen acres, that cost only

rro DEMONSTRATE VALUE OF
‘: WOODLOTS.

i lSHlNG to show that a forest

plantation on valuable land is a

paying proposition, G. B. Horton, of

Fruit. Ridge, has requested the M. A.

1 C. forestry department to study the

rate of growth of the timber in his

woodlot, and arrangements have al-

ready been made for Prof. A. K. Chit-

tenden and G. A. Garratt to carry on
the investigation.

It is interesting to note the results
that have been obtained in measuring
the rate 01' growth of the college wood-
lot during the last few years. \Vith
systematic thinning, the volume of
timber is increasing 6.5 per cent each
year and the lot is said to be in excel-

lent growing condition. Rising stump-
age values have also added to the to-
tal value of the woodlot.

The annual growth of timber has
rbeen cut and sold for firewood in East
Lansing, the net income exceeding

2 that from the maple syrup in another
l woodlot worked as a sugar bush—H.

GOVERNMENT TESTS DEHYDRAT-
ED VEGETABLES.

HE United States Department of

Agriculture recently sent three

thousand packages 01‘ commercially

dehydrated vegetable soup mixture to

as many hotels. Reports of its use

show keen interest in the product. The

cost is much less, quality as good, and

convenience greater than the use of

fresh vegetables. Thus far the chief

difficulty in introducing these products

has been the overcoming of old prej~
udices.

FARM LABOR PRICES LOWER.

\ HE Illinois State Department of
1 Labor reports lower farm wages.
i North Dakota farm labor for spring
1 and summer is plentiful at $30 to $40
monthly, against $50 to.$60 last year.
. Kansas farm labor is being paid $40
1 . with board and lodging, about $20 less
than last year. Missouri’s labor com-
misison expects plenty of [arm labor
at lowest wages since 1915. Harvest
pay in the southwest will be around
$5.00, $2.00 less than last year.

Are Your Roofs

a Protection or a Menace?

The greatest danger of fire lies in its spreading from one building to
anmher—particularly in the case of structures roofed with wooden
shingles. If one building catches fire, sparks and burning embers fall-
ing upon nearby roofs may turn a small blaze into a serious fire.

 

Barrett Everlastic Roofings minimize this fire hazard. The popular
low-priced, plain—surfaced form—Everlastic “Rubber” Roofing—is
highly fire resistant. Falling sparks or hot Cinders may char it in
spots, but they cannot set it on fire.

The beautiful red or green Everlastic Single Shingles, Multi—Shingles
and Slate Surfaced Roll Roofing have the additional protection of a
surface heavily coated with real crushed slate. And yet they cost less
than ordinary, inflammable wooden shingles.

Fire-resistant, waterproof, easy-to-lay. Durable, economical, beau-
tiful. What more can you ask of a roofing?

It will pay you to look for the Everlastic name when you buy.

A Signal Victory.

HE mining man Hayes, the ma-

jor and John Moreland were

waiting at the gate when Dale,
accompanied by the moonshiner, re-
turned to the cabin. Dale was the
first to speak. He told briefly of that
which had taken place at the blown‘
down sycamore, and at the last of it
By Heck straightened proudly.

“I be dadjimmed ef I hadn’t ha’ pump-
ed him so full 0’ lead ’at the’ couldn’t
enough 0’ men got around him to tote
off his corpst, of he hadn’t ha’ drapped

fiercely as he could. “ ’Cause maw she

to be a right pa’tickler friend 0’ mine,
igod, and I has a habit o’ takin’ keer

“it was a nine—rail fence, By,” im-

I'leck nodded and went toward the
orchard. He. knew they didn’t want
him to overhear what they were going
to say, but it didn‘t offend him. It
wasn‘t easy to offend the good—natured
Heck.

Moreland turned to Dale.

Dale turned to Hayes.

“We’re going to begin the building
of the little railroad at the earliest
possible moment. And because I don’t
know anything about the work, I’m go—
ing to ask you to take the lead. Now,
there may be some fighting. I don’t

at all, do it now."
“l‘m not a stranger to fighting,”
Hayes replied smilingly. “I've been

through half a dozen coal strikes. I
think you may count on me, Mr. Dale.”

“Then lay out a plan for immediate
action.”

“l’d suggest,” acquiesced Hayes,
“that we send to the little town in the
lowland for a supply of picks and shov-
els, axes and saws, hammers, drills,
and explosives. In the meantime, you
and I can stake out the way for the
track.”

It sounded
thought.

”Within the hour John Moreland and
his son Caleb started for Cartersville
on foot, and in the older man’s pocket
was money sufficient to buy the things
that were needed.

each of them carried a hand-axe for
making stakes.

It was not often that the quiet Hayes
permitted himself to go into raptures
over anything; however, he went into
raptures over the Moreland coal. It
was, he declared, one of the best prop-
ositions he had ever seen. It was no
wonder that Henderson Goff was de
termined to get possession of it, he
said.

Then they went to work.

By sundown two days later they had
chosen the route for the narrow-guage
railroad and set stakes accordingly.
Hayes told his general manager that
with a good force of men the last rail
could be put down within two months.

During those two days they had sev-
eral times seen Henderson Goff in com-
pany with Black Adam Ball and some
of his relatives. Once they had come
upon Goff talking earnestly with Saul
Littleford, the big, bearded, gaunt
brother of the Littleford chief. Hayes
reminded Dale of this, and said to him
further:

"Goff will have the Littlefords on his
side the first thing you know! Maybe
some of the Littlefords, as well as
some of the Balls, knew about this coal
before David Moreland got his moun-
tain by state‘s grant at a few cents per
acre. If you’ll take my advice, Mr.
Dale, you’ll make friends of these two
sets just as quick as you can.”

Dale thrust his hand-axe inside his
belt and turned to the mining expert.

“D’you know,l was thinking of that,
same thing when you spoke,” he re-
plied. “And I believe I can manage
it, now that Miss Littleford’s accident-
al wounding has given the old feud
such a blow. I'm fairly sure I can
manage it so far as Ben Littleford is
concerned; it’s John Moreland that’s
going to be hard to bring to taw. He
should be home this evening, if he’s
had good luck, and I’ll tackle him as
soon as he comes.

“Well, we’d better be going, Hayes.
There’s six miles before us, and it isn’t
long before night, and the trail is as
crooked as a snake's track.”

Together they started across David
Moreland's Mountain, walking rapidly,
with Dale leading.

Darkness came down on them when
they had covered half the distance.
The great hemlocks and poplars loom-
ed spectral and gaunt in the early star-
light. The almost impenetrable thick-
ets of laurel and ivy whispered uncan-
ny things, and their seas of pink and
snowy bloom looked somehow ghostly.
Now and then there was the pattering
of some little animal’s feet. on the dry,
dead leaves of bygone years.

in weird and melancholy cries to the
night it loved. There was the faint,
tarot! haying of a hound, and the soft
swish of a nighthawk’s wings.

Men from the core of civilization
must feel these things of the wilder-
ness.

Suddenly Dale drew back and stood
still. In the trail ahead, standing as
motionless as the trees about him, was
the tall figure of a man. It was almost
as though he were there to bar the
way.

The two went on slowly. The figure
didn’t move. Dale spoke, and the form
came to life. It was By Heck; he was
leaning on the muzzle of his rifle.

“It’s you, is it, Bill, old boy?" He
yawned sluggishly. “I was a-waitin’
here fo‘ you. I reckon I must ha’ went
to sleep a-standin’ here on my feet!
I’ve got news, Bill.”

“Out with it.”

“I‘ve been a-trailin’ Henderson Goff
all day," Heck said in guarded tones.
“He’s shore got them lowdown Balls

to believin’ they‘re already million-
hairs.”
“I knew that,” said Dale. “That's

not news.”

“But that ain't all,” By Heck went
on. “Goff’s got Saul Littleford, too——
look, stock, bar’l, and sights. He owns
Saul jest the same as I own my old
spotted ’coondawg Dime. Saul he gits
him a job a-bein’ mine boss, and what
other Littlefords ’at will stick gits jobs
a~diggin’ the black di’mont at two dol-
lars a day. Asides, all of ’em is to
have a big lot 0’ money when the di-
vidin’—up time comes, says Goff."

“Much obliged to you, By,” Dale ac-
knowledged. “Let’s go; ’bout face, By!
I’m going to tie a hard knot in that.
villainous game of Henderson Goff’s.”

They reached John Moreland’s cabin
less than an hour later. Moreland and
his son had just returned from Carters-
Ville, and Dale learned through Hayes
that the two hillmen had shown good
judgment and some business sense in
making their purchases.

When the evening meal was over,
Dale drew John Moreland out to the
cabin yard, where the many old-fash—
ioned flowers made the night air sweet
with their blended odors. For a mo
ment Dale stood looking toward the
very bright stars and thinking; then
he told the big man at his side of
Goff’s plan concerning the Littlefords,
and strongly urged the making of
friendship between the two clans.

“The snake!” mumbled John More-
land.

He appeared to be worried about it.
He folded his arms, walked to the gate
and back to Dale without uttering an-

after his own heart, who had asked it,
he never would have even considered
it; he would have said quickly:

tlefords, too!”

The younger man read something or
the other’s thoughts.

“With the help of the law,” said he,
“we might whip them .all. But it
would mean a great deal of bloodshed
at best. The Littlefords are Babe’s
people, y’know. I like Babe. You like
her, too, or you never would have gone
with her to the hospitals—now don’t
you?”

“I reckon I cain’t deny,” the More-
land leader muttered, “ ’at I like Babe
Littleford. She ain’t like none 0’ the
rest of ’em, Bill.”

Dale went on:

“All there is to do to enlsit the Lit-

tlefords on our side is this: you go to
old Ben and say to him: ‘Let's begin

anew; let’s be friends, your people and
my people, you and me.’ He’ll be glad
you did it. Then it will be easy sail-
ing for us. The Balls never would dare
to attack such a. force as the More.
lands and the Littlefords combined.
Don’t you see? I admit it will be some
thing of a sacrifice on your part. But.
a man like you can make sacrifices.
Any man who is big enough to go
down on his knees and ask the bless—
ing of the Almighty on his enemies is
big enough to make sacrifice. Come—
let’s go over and see Ben Littleford
now; won’t you?”

The mountaineer didn’t answer.

“You won’t throttle the cause born
in David Moreland’s good heart on ac-
count of a little personal pride—~I kIIOWI
you won’t!” Dale said earnestly.

Moreland straightened.

“You mean well,” he said slowly. I
think you’re one o’ the very best men
in the world, Bill Dale. You often
make me think 0’ pore David hisself.
But I‘m afeard ye don’t onderstand,
Bill. I’ve seed my own son die from
a Littleford’s bullet. To go and offer
to be friends with a man who might
be the same one ’at killed my boy is
a pow’ful hard thing to do. I’m afeard
ye don’t quite onderstand.”

“It was a terrible thing, I know,”
said Dale. “But it was the fortunes of
war. The Littlefords have endured the
fortunes.of war in exactly the same
way. Come with me; let’s go. I need
your help; I can do very little without
your help. Come, John Moreland!”

The hillman replied slowly: “Well,
I’ll go with ye over thar. But Ben he’ll

HAVE YOU LIMED YOUR LAND?

A New View Point on an Important Question

Our sale of limestone to Michigan farmers this spring has been enormous—-by far the largest in our history.

But still there are thousands of farmers who are not using limestone —who have not even taken the trouble to even seriously con-
Sldlel' the matter-who have not even sent for, or read, the booklet we are distributing free on the subject of limestone and its
va ue.

If this is your case, what is the reason? Is it because you are classing limestone with the hundreds of devices and commodities
of doubtful value which manufacturers are continually trying to force on the farmers?

This is not fair to yourselves or limestone. Limestone is not a patented product or a secret mixture controlled by us. It is nature’s
product and essential to plant life.

We believe thisfiis the fair way to think about it. In the first place, you ought to know definitely whether or not your land needs
limestone. 80% of Michigan land does.

To find this out, you ought to first get our booklet, which will tell you all about limestone. Then either make a few simple tests
of your soil for yourself, or with the help of your county agent. Or send samples to us for testing. We will do this without charge.
Then if you find your land is sour, the use of limestone is no longer a question but a necessity. For most crops won’t do well in
sour soil and there is no other known way of correcting sour soil conditions except by the use of limestone.

We would like to have Michigan farmers feel that our interests are vastly different from those of a concern attempting to sell a
patented preparation.

The Solvay Process Company have really performed a distinct service to the farmers of Michigan by utilizing its immense facilities
in preparing limestone in very finely pulverized form so that it is all available for plant use. and still selling it at a price almost as
cheap as sand.

We believe that. if the farmers who are not now using limestone will think about the question as we have outlined it above. they
will see that delaying the use of limestone is placing a handicap on their farms that they can ill afford.

It is not too late yet to buy and use limestone as a top dressing on many crops, such as corn, beans, etc., and derive the great
benefits that will result this year.

Theseus: at Mid Valley

Our lVeeé/y Sermon—By N. 24. Ma. sze

(Continued from last week).

HE farmers’ institute came and

went. Abreast was as good as

his word, and the professors he
went after were all there. Skimp was
amazed at what he heard. He had for-
merly thought himself above the rural
pastorate. But now he felt it was
above him. He was not equal to the
demands that would be made on a.
real, sure-enough rural pastor. He
preached on the institute the Sunday
following. His subject was, “The
Preacher Learns from the Farmers.”
One fact had greatly impressed him. It
was, that the fertility of the soil is
God’s gift to man. To impoverish the
soil is a sin against its Creator. To
leave a farm in lower fertility than
when you took it, is a black deed, un-
worthy of any honorable man. And it
was well known there were farms
about Mud Valley that would not pro-
duce as they once did. When a farm
is reduced in productivity it means
that someone may go hungry in conse-
quence. That is the opposite of the
Master’s command to feed the hungry.

The following Sunday the pastor of
Mud Valley church began a series of
sermons. It was called the “Getting
Acquaintet ” series. The first one was,
“Getting Acquainted with Your Farm.”
How many men have made a thorough
survey of their farm and know what it
is best suited to produce? he asked.
How many have had the soil analyzed?
The second was, “Getting Acquainted
with Your Family.” Many a. farmer
has sons who are born on the farm,
but who never intend to stay on it. Has
he ever tried to induce them to do so,
by showing them the bright side of
farm life? Does the boy own his own
calf, or sheep, and get what is made
from it? That was a sermon that went
home. He heard from it afterwards.

EXT, he preached on “Getting Ac-

quainted with Your Neighbors.” A
family with a foreign name had re-
cently moved into the neighborhood.
How many had been to pay a friendly
call? We talk against the foreigner,
his old-country ways, his wife that
works in the hay—field, and his endless
kids. But how many make any at-
tempt to make a real American out of
him, or his numerous progeny? Of the
three foreign families near Mud Val-
ley, 110w many had been invited to
come to the church? ‘

Skimp next preached on getting ac-
quainted with your school and your
church. What do you know about your
church? Is the church at. Mud Valley
the only basis you have, of forming a
judgment? What do you know about
the work of the church in the south,
among the highlanders? Of its great
leaders in foreign lands? Did any one
realize the fact that missionaries are
frequently employed by the govern-
ment, because of their intimate knowl-
edge of foreign lands? Did you know
that the Mud Valley church is connect-
ed with the entire Christian world en-
terprise? How would this church like
the idea. of helping support an agricul-
tural missionary in India or China, who
is showmg the people how to grow big
crops and fight off animal diseases?

ND next came a sermon that was

a. Kansas cyclone, on getting ac-
quainted with yourself. Are you a
farmer by accident, or intention? Do
you plow and reap because you like it
better than anything in the world, or
because you haven’t as yet been able
to sell out? Do you see anything in
farming besides the crops? Has the
thought ever occurred to you that you
are cooperating with God? If God

should knock off tomorrow where
would the farmer be? Every crop in
the field would shrivel up,’ and the
world would face starvation in a few
months. We keep going because God
keeps going.

And the series wound up with “Get-
ting Acquainted with God.” By the
time the preacher was done with this
series he had so many other subjects
in mind he wanted to present, that he
hardly knew which to choose first. His
trouble had always been, that he didn’t
know till Friday what he was going to
talk about -on Sunday. And the con-
gregations? Deacon Trudge said he’d
never seen so many at church since
Abraham Grind’s funeral. Then the
people sat on. the pulpit steps while
the presiding elder preached the fun-
eral sermon. But for several Sundays
now, the people had crowded into the
church so that chairs had to be placed
in the aisles. The revival had begun,
and no mistake. They had held more
than one so-called revival in days past
that was a revival only in name. No-
body was revived, and the few who
attended were worn out by the time
the meetings were over. This was a
sure-enough revival. People were ac-
tually being revived.

UT there were other signs of life.

Mr. Abreast was as good as his
name. He had taken Skimp oh the
probationer’s list, and taken him into
his heart. He said Skimp was all right,
and he would back him to the limit.
He used language that was more vivid
than that, but that is what he meant.
Abreast proposed that the Community
Improvement Club should meet at his
home and talk over some propositions.
He would provide the place to meet,
and they would have a barbecue. Each
family would bring whatever dinner
they wanted, but the meat would be
carved off the roasted ox. The proposal
was too good to ignore. The preacher
was ready for anything that had the
forward look. The day was set, the
handbills were passed out on all sides,
and the crowd came. No such crowd
had ever been gotten together before
in that section. People still talk about
it. Almost every variety of vehicle
that has been known since the stone
age was there. Breeds and types of
farmers not known to exist, appeared,
each with a. dinner basket. as large as
a wash boiler. A very successful coun-
try preacher from a neighboring state
was the speaker. He told what had
been done in his section, and it was
agreed that his program was so sensi-
ble that it would do as a basis of work
for the section about Mud Valley.

HE club was to keep its name, the

Community Improvement Club. If
any farmer wanted to join, he had to
Sign an agreement to do five things
each year: He must do something to
improve the soil, something to improve
the live stock, something to improve
the buildings and fences, something to
improve the community, and some-
thing to improve himself. In addition
to this, or, rather as a part of it, cards
were passed out, asking if the people
would not like to have a free lecture
and entertainment course the follow-
ing winter, at the church. All who did
so could contribute whatever he could.
A large flag was, produced and four
"girls held it by the four corners, while
money was thrown on it, Salvation-
army fashion. Those who did not have
money with them, could leave it at the
general store. Two hundred dollars
was necessary to guarantee the lee-
ture course, and one hundred and sev-

enteen was produced in cash‘th'e day

lle went to the front. porch and. took
from a Chair his l)l‘()&t‘;l<l‘llllllletl head-

gear. Then the two set out.
They crossed an ox-wagon road, a
sweet-scented meadow, the river by

mmns of the blown-down sycamore,
another sweet-scented meadow and an—
other ox—wagon road, and entered the

 

whirl yard of the Littletord chief. Here
to”). many old-fashioned flowers were
in bloom; a cane fishingpole,
and white, leaned against, the porch; it
made Dale think of Babe.

“You wait out here,“ whispered Dale,
with a hand on his companions arm.
“l’ll go in and see. it I can persuade
Li'1‘.el‘ord to make the advance. l’m
lli'v‘Q' sure I can.”

lie started forward when a bound
rose from the stone step and growled
warningly. At that Dale halted and
sang out:

"llello, Ben!”

Immediately there was the sound of
he.» ary footsteps on the cabin floor. The
front door swung open, creaking on
wooden hinges, and Babes lather,
barelieaded and with a lamp in his
hand. appeared in the doorway. He
knew the voice that had summoned
him.

“Home right in, Mr. Dale,” he invited
with the utmost cordiality. “Come
right. in!”

He scolded the dog away, and Dale
entered the primitive home. Its inte-
rior, he noted, was a duplicate of the
Moreland chief’s home. He was shown
into the best room, where he dropped
easily into a roomy old rocker that was
lined with an untanned sheepskin. Ben
Littleford put the lamp on a crude ta-
ble, drew up another chair, and sat
down l'acing his visitor.

"I hope ye ain’t jest happened over
fo’ a minute or two on business,” he
drawied; "I hope ye’ve come to spend
the night wi’ me, anyway.”

“I'm here in the interests of peace,”
Dale began, looking at
squarely.

the hillman.
“I want you Littlel'ords tol

the Morelands.

John Is out there at}

your gate now: he is waiting for you‘

to ask him in and say to him: ‘Let's:
begin anew; let’s be friends, your peo-
ple and my people, you and me.’ You
want that, don’t you, Ben? Babe did,
I’m sure.”

Littlel‘ord frowned, laced his big fin-
gers together and twirled his big
thumbs. Now that he was once more
at home, with assurance that his
daughter would entirely recover, he
was no longer weak; he had all his old
courage and all his old stubborn hill
pride back.

"I‘ll ax John in,” he finally decided,
"but he’ll hat to make the lust break
at :icbein’ friends. Me axin’ him into
the house is a purty durned good start
towards friendship, ain’t it?”

He arose, took up the lamp, walked
to the front door and opened it, and
called into the night:

“VVon’t ye come in, John?"
“I reckon I will, Ben,” was the lazy

answer. “Ed 3. minute. anyhow. But
I reckon I cain’t stay long.”

l STORY is told of a poor woman
A who suddenly acquired wealth

and at. once decided to build a
new home. Having spent most of her
wakinghours in the kitchen, she or-
dered her architect to furnish her a
house which had no such room. Later,

finding that even people of wealth
must have some place to prepare
meals, she was forced to build the

kitchen on, and connect it to the rest
of the mansion by means of a hall.

A Well-lighted Kitchen with Hot and Cold Water is a Boon to the Farm
Woman.

ience of: arrangement and ease of do
ling work. In the old-fashioned houses,
especially those built in the days when
lumber was cheap. doesn’t it: seem as
if the one idea was to see how many
rooms of immense size one could get,
without any regard to the steps women
would have to take in keeping the
house up? Don’t you all know pantries
large enough to be modern kitchens?

In planning your new home, or re
modeling your old one, bear in mind
the fact that. the fewer the steps, the

sooner you’ll be through work. Get
your working area all together in as
compact a form as possible.

The model farm home should have

living-room, dining-room, office, kitch-
en, pantry, laundry and wash-room on
the first floor, bedrooms, bath and sew-
ing—room on the second, and the bed-
rooms for help should be separate from
those for the family. It" you cannot
afford a home of this size, however,
combine living-room, office and sewing-
room in one, but keep the dining-room.
Many a woman has sat listlessly
through a meal in the kitchen because
the sight‘ot‘ the spot where she had
prepared the meal robbed her of. appe-
tite. Plan your home so as to get out‘

 

of the kitchen at mealtimes.

game without worry as to spilled wa-
ter or scratched floors. Stairs to the
help’s sleeping room could go up from
here. ,

Of course, you will have running wa-
ter. This need not of necessity cost a
great deal of money. The Michigan
Agricultural College demonstrated a
system at the farmers’ congress which
can be installed for around forty dol-
lars. A small pump, a few feet of pipe,
a sink and a little labor are all that is
required. The department of farm me-
chanics of the college will give advice
and help as to installing any water or
power system you may select.

The method of heating the new
home is a matter of pocketbook and
personal choice. Every type of fur-
nace, hot air, steam and hot water, has
its admirers. Much depends upon in
stallation, so be sure that only a com-
petent workman installs your furnace
for you. Hot air costs less in the be-
ginning than either steam or hot wa-
ter. Such furnaces are easy to oper-
ate, and if properly installed with an
outside cold air intake, they give sat-
isfactory heat and insure fresh air at
the same time. On windy days, how—
ever, there is almost invariably one;
room'in the'house wh'ich‘ii: ‘fs’iifipbséi‘i:

ble to heat, the room, of course, being
on the windy side of the house. If you
choose hot air, see that the registers
are set in the wall. Floor registers, are.
dust catchers and often the carpet or
rug must be turned back to avoid them.

Steam and hot water plants do not
give heat quite so quickly as hot air,
and cost more to install. They are us—
ually considered to be cleaner, how-
ever, and to give a more constant heat
once the fire is going. Hot Water is
said to give off heat with a. lower lire
than will steam.

For your woodwork and floors. 01'
course you would like oak. But of late
oak prices have been so high as to
make them almost prohibitive. Tllt'l'e
are many other woods which are durd
able, and while they do not finish quite
so satisfactorily as oak, owing to its
beautiful grain, may be stained. or
coated with white enamel. Southern
pine [or finish is extensively used and
is very satisfactory. For floors maple.
is very durable. Birch, walnut, soft
pine, fir, cypress and redwood are also
used. Birch is chosen frequently for
rooms to be finished in white enamel.
White. enamel woodwork for sleeping
rooms, with mahogany doors, are, al-
ways good. Mahogany and white stair-
ways are always attractive, if other
finishings correspond. '

“How to Build It,” by M. L. Keith,
Minneapolis, gives the i‘oliowing table
of relative hardness of woods, which
may be of help in selecting your finish.
He takes shell bark hickory as the
highest standard of our trees and rates
it one hundred per cent. With this
base he rates the other woods as fol-
lows:

White oak, 84; white ash, 77; scrub
oak, 73; red oak, 69; white beech, 65;
black walnut, 65; black birch, 62; yel-
low oak, 60; hard maple, 56; red cedar,
56; yellow pine, 54; white birch, 43;
white pine, 30.

Floors and woodwork may be either
varnished or waxed. “‘23: is more sat-
ist‘actory in many ways as it does not
show marks quickly, and its beauty
grows with its age. It is easily taken
care of. Whatever finish is first zip-
plied can not be changed satisfactorily,
so make up your mind to one or the
other. Floors once varnished must al-
ways be varnished in future when 1‘04
pairing needs to be done, and floors
waxed must always have wax. You
can not apply a coat of either finish
over the other with satisfactory ,re-
sults.

DUTCH PEPPERNUTS.

 

Household Editor.~—I notice a re-
quest for a recipe for “Dutch Pepper-
nuts,” or “Pffernussen,” and will send
a reliable recipe for these little cakes:

One and one-half cups of sugar, one
cup of shortening, one cup of sour milk
and one teaspoon of soda, (or one cup
of SWeet milk and one teaSpoon of bak-
ing powder), one egg. one teaspoon of
lemon flavor, one-halt" teaspoon of nut-
meg or mace, one teaspoon of anise
seed or one—half teaspoon of anise
flavor. .

The ingredients should be mixed
well and flour added to make dough to
roll. Roll the dough a trifle thick, and
with a floured knife cut in half-inch
strips, and out these strips into half-
inch squares. Bake in cookie pans,
and when done they will be little
brown, puffy, nut—like squares. Some-
times instead of cutting in squares the
dough is molded with the hands into
tiny balls like marbles, and these are
much the same as the squares in ap-
pearance when baked.

The most important part of these

cakes is the anise seed 01' flavoring. -

These are old country Christmas cakes
and are made in large quantities at
holiday time. No frosting or sugar is
put on top of the cakes. This recipe
has been used in our family for years,
and is identical with recipes used by
two excellent cooks, one Danish and
one Ger1nan.——Mrs. A. M. H.
Household Editor-.wln The Michigan
Farmer for April 9 I notice a recipe
for “Dutch Pep-pernuts.” My recipe is
similar to M. J. T.’s, and I've made
them several times. They certainly

“Pfi‘erneys.”——Two cups of brown
sugar, one and one-half cups of sour
milk, one-half pound of raisins, six cups
of flour, two egg yolks, one teaspoon

anise. Roll very thin, out with small
cutter. To ice use two cups of sugar,
boiled, and poured over the two beaten
egg whites. Put about a quarter of the
cakes in a pan,Vand stir while pouring

now enrolled in this work are those to
whom we must look to recruit the next
generation of farmers. Unfortunately
there is a good deal to discourage the
boy or girl brought up on many farms
and it. is not strange that early ambi-
tions ol'ten lead away from the rural
path.

The club idea is intended to combat
unfavorable impressions of the farm,
in other words, it aims to show up the
better side 01' rural life and offer an
incentive to individual effort and at-
tainment. I venture to predict that
very few prize winners in club work
will ever take up other lines of en-
deavor.

The writer has had several years of
experience as a local leader and the
aim ol‘ this article is to Offer some sug-
gestions gleaned from that, work. In
the first place, the local leader is the
most important link in the whole chain.
He is the link to which the club mem-
bers must cling to unite them with the
county, state and national organiza-
tions. The state or county leader may
Come once a month, but the local lead—
er must be right there to advise all
the time and see that the individual
work is done and accounts properly
kept.

No matter how good a county leader
the boys and girls may have, there will
be little accomplished unless the local
man or woman shows :1 constant in—
terest in the club. The local leader,
then, must be a person capable ol‘gaill-
ing and keeping the confidence 01' the
young people. A young or middle-aged
minister of the gospel almost always
makes a good leader. The same can
be said of a school teacher. I have in
mind a. locality which hired a young
man to teach the grammar school.
This man consented to take charge of
the club work. At first the effort seem»
ed doomed to failure but before the
end of the summer, by holding weekly
meetings and making constant visits to
the garden projects, he had the whole
membership worked to the highest
point of enthusiasm. The secondyear

this club carried off several county
and state prizes. Sometimes a young
man or woman. returning from college,
can be induced to take up the work.
Many such, however, cannot find the
time for the effort. Really, consider-
able time is necessary for best results.
The minimum 01‘ time that the local
leader ought to devote to his club is a
half day each. week. Garden projects
are kept in much better shape if the

pected around Saturday.
One trouble that the local leader

will find in all communities, is the ten-
dency on the part of parents 10 pro-
vide a plot similar to the standard re-
quired, rather than just what the spec-

 

 

Thc Local Club Leader

ifications call for. It has been difficult.
in my own case to get the boys and
girls lined up for standard work. They
want; to be members of the club but
father could not prepare them a plot
just right, so they are going to have a
couple of rows of potatoes across one
end of the family patch. it is the same
with pig-club and calf-club work. Fath-
er says the boy may call one 01' the
l'amily pigs his, or something like that.
The local leader has to deal with such
cases. Often a personal appeal to the
parents will result in settling the mat-
ter right. Sometimes. however, the
only thing to do is to 11-1, the lad come

tages of a standard project and will

achievement pin, our boys and girls
like to have :1 pin for their own club.
Money for such expense< can be raised
by holding one or two tntm'tainmcnls
during the fall or winter season. The

money to pay expenses 01‘ attending
county rallies can also be raised in
this way.

Local leaders should attend all ral-
lies with the club and should look al-
ter the young people who make exhib-
its at the county fair and, of course,
want to attend. This work is not irk-
some for the man or woman who gets
really interested in boys and girls. It
becomes rather a privilege than a task
and the interested leader seldom wish—
es to give up the work.

Making Tomatoes Pay the Way

THAT the time is not past when
an enterprising girl or boy can

’ gain a. college education by per-
sonal initiative is amply proven by the
experience of a young girl now a tresh~
man at. the Michigan Agricultural Col»
lege.

Fired by a desire to secure training
beyond that which the local high school
could give, and with parents whose lim-
ited means must, be turned to other
purposes, she took stock of her own
opportunities for making money. She
lived within three miles of a lake port
from which vegetables and fruit were
shipped to Chicago daily during the
season. There was usually a good de—
mand for tomatoes. They were a clean
crop—why not raise tomatoes? Some
little planning and weighing were re-
quired but a decision once reached, ar-
rangements were promptly made with
the father for one and one-half acres
of land, with a local greenhouse for
starting plants, and with a commission
merchant for selling the product.

The ground has been previously cov-
ered with barnyard manure. She hired
the plowing done and did the dragging,
smoothing and marking herself. Care-
l'ul account was kept of all expendi-
tures and income. Selected seeds were
used, lsbell’s Earlibell being the va-
riety chosen. The plants were started
in the greenhouse and when about
three or four inches high were trans-
ferred to individual, bottomless, wood—
en boxes in hot-beds. About the first
of June the three thousand plantswere
set out in the field about three and a

They were then about one tool to
eighteen inches high. A small amount
of commercial fertilizer was used in
each hill. Cultivation was kept up by
the girl herself until the plants grow
too large to permit it. The ripening
began about the last 01' July.

The tomatoes Were carefully select-
ed .and graded, the first grade being
put into six—basket crates, thewwcight,
averaging about forty-three pounds
net. The second grade were put, into
“jumbos” with a weight 01' about, lWOll-
ty pounds net. Some 01‘ the poorest.
grade were sold from house to house
in the town. The marketing and much
of the labor incident to packing was
carried on by the girl herself. An item-
ized statement follows:

Poultry Lessons
By R. G. Kirby
Lesson Xl.——Feeding for Eggs.

XAMINE your hens when they are

laying heavily. They will be a lit-

tle fat but not too fat. They will
appear healthy and vigorous. To keep
up a profitable egg production it is
necessary to keep the hens in the pink
of condition and also give them the
elements that make eggs.

During the spring the hen on the
range gathers first, a bug or a worm
and then a weed seed. Then she picks
up a bit of tender green food. In the
course of the day the hen eats the
necessary materials to form eggs. They
are abundant in the spring and that is
the natural time for heavy egg produc-
tion. To keep up a more or less steady
egg production from our flocks we
must strive to imitate the conditions
on the range in the spring.

The grain can be given in a straw
litter and consist of equal parts of
wheat and corn in the spring and fall.
During the winter give twice as much
corn as wheat. During the hot suiu~
Iner give twice as much wheat as corn.
The most simple dry mash recommend-
ed can consist of fifty pounds of wheat
bran and one hundred pounds ground
oats. To this mixture add thirty
pounds of beef scrap tor the lighter
breeds, like Leghorns, or twenty
pounds of beef scrap for the heavy
breeds, like Plymouth Rocks.

The dry mash should be placed in a
h0pper where the hens will always
have access to it. Then each bird will
surely recoive enough to keep her Well
fed and fit to lay it other conditions
are all right. We find sour milk a won-
derful help in making hens lay. If this
is produced aat home, be sure and
make arrangements for a supply for
your hens. They like sour milk and
buttermilk and it is good for their di-
gestive system as well as a. producer
of eggs.

The beef scrap in the dry mash can
be reduced depending upon the amount
of sour milk you have to feed. Furnish
the sour milk in crooks and keep the
crooks clean by an occasional scour—
ing. Water forms a large portion of
an egg. The hens need lots of water
to keep them in health. Galvanized
pails make good water fountains. The
hens will drink to Within a few inches
of the bottom and this leaves enough
water to rinse the pail before refilling.
In the winter empty the pails each
night so they will not freeze before
morning and spring leaks.

Green food is a great tonic and help
in egg production. When on the range
it need not be supplied. During the
winter it is very necessary. Clover
chaff, mangels and cull fruit and veg—
etables help to furnish green feed.
Sprouted cats are fine but take more
work and are more expensive than
mangels. We often split pumpkins and

place them in the poultry houses and
the birds will eat the pulp and seeds
clear to the ring. Oyster shells are
necessary to help the hens place strong
shells on every egg that is laid. Keep
a hopper of shells in the poultry house
at all seasons.

VALUE OF EDUCATION.

HE most important thing you ac-

quire in school is not the informa-
tion you get but the habit of study you
establish. With a mind trained to study
you have the ability to work at the
solution of the problems which come
up in life. Without an education you
would be in a quandary as you do not
know the methods of solution. Educa-
tion gives you comprehension while
took of training causes bewilderment.

Combined Rake and Tedder

Our “Giant" combined steel side rake and
redder pays dividends in better quality of hay
and in labor saved. When tedding it lifts the
hay from the ground separating and leaving it
loose so it can cure evenly.

When used as a rake its motion is slow which
revents the threshing out of seed and leaves
rom ripe hay. or the shelling of beans when

raking beans ”for which it is especially adapt-
able. It will rake eight rows of beans.

The “Giant" rake and tedder being steel con-
struction is light. yct strong and durable. It
can be thrown in and out of gear and changed to
either take or redder, and the angle of the teeth
can be altered, and the reel raised or lowered
by shifting levers within easy reach of driver
Rear caster wheels are equipped with cushion
springs to relieve strain due to unevenness of
ground. The rake is equipped throughout
with anti-friction roller Ratings, thus insuring
ight draft.

YOU will be able to handle your hay crop quickly and
with our combined side rake and tedder, and with our hay loader.

only save money in the making, but you will get a bigger crop and a better price.

Cylinder Hay Loader

The “Hayes-Dayton” Steel Frame Cylinder
Hay Loader under ordinary conditions wll re—
duce the cost of loading hay from 30"}. to 50%
from pitching the load on by hand forks It is
designed for loading from windrow, yet it can
be used to load directly {mm the swath. Its
design and construction is light yet strong and
durable, and is made simple to avoid compli-
cated parts getting out of order. The height
of the loader from the ground to where it
discharges hay is ten feet, allowing you to
build a large load.

i

The forecarriagc of the loader carries a por-
tion of the weight and adjusts itself to uneven
ground by a universal joint. It can be easily
coupled to the wagon and uncoupled by the
driver by rope connection. Wide shields are
provided to prevent hay from wrapping around
ground wheels.

All bearings are anti-friction roller. to insure
light draft.

HIS is a good time to hatch tur-
keys and guinea chickens, both
of which are delicate when
small, although robust enough later.
May is usually a month in which there
are several cold rains, and it’ the
youngsters escape this, they have a
better chance of reaching maturity. It
is most important that they should be
kept free from dampness and draughts.
Poultry Needs Shade.

With the coming of warm weather it
will be necessary to have shade for
the chickens. Even more susceptible
to the heat of the sun are ducklings.
On commercial plants low shelters cov-
ered with boards or burlap are provid-
ed, if there are no trees or shrubs to
give protection. Some such plan may
be followed on a small place, but often
it is quite possible and more satisfac-
tory to furnish natural shade, which
can be done by growing artichokes,
sunflowers, or something of that kind.
The artichokes can be allOwed to grow
right in the hen yard if protected until
they get well started, for the hens will
not eat the leaves. Of course, the Jer-
usalem artichoke is meant, the so-call-
ed French artichoke being an entirely
different plant.

Jerusalem artichokes provide good
shade when planted rather closely and
once started will come up year after
year. ln fact, there is some danger
that they will multiply and spread so
fast as to become a nuisance. At least
some should be dug out each season.

The sunflower has special merit, in
the fact that the seeds make excellent
poultry food. Truth to tell, the sun-
flower is not appreciated as it should
be. but of course the Russian or mam—
moth variety 'should be grown. These
tall sunflowers standing close together
make a, good summer hedge and screen
the poultry yard as well as providing
shade in the fall.

Fresh Water Necessary.

Fresh water is needed as much as
shade. It is best renewed several
times a day, but if this requires too
much labor, a barrel may be elevated
on blocks and a small hole bored near
the bottom. A plug with a groove in
one side can be driven into the hole,
thus allowing water to drip slowly into
a. basin underneath. There are patent-
ed drinking fountains on the market
which will hold enough to supply a
large flock all day.

Vermin are not, a pleasant subject
for discussion, but they must be reck-
oned with when warm weather comes,
for then they multiply with almost un-
believable rapidity. This is especially
true of the red mites which collect on
the fowls at night and fill themselves
with blood. They are harder to fight
than common lice because they leave
the hens or chickens in the morning,
hiding under the perches or in cracks
in the walls. The simplest: way to deal
with these pests is to use carbolineum
or some such thick mixture on the un—
der part of the perches, and to spray
the walls with a prepared lice paint,
which can be put on easily with a com-
.mon spray pump. Even if the house
becomes badly infested, all trace of
vermin may readily be done away with
by this plan, without an excessive
amount of labor.

Good Green Food CrOps.

The hens and chickens will need
green food all through the summer. If
they have range, of course, the owner
need not trouble about this matter, but
if they are confined it will be neces-
sary to grow something for them.
Dwarf Essex rape is to be recommend—
ed, as it grows quickly and renews it-
self if only parts of the leaves are re-
moved. Oftentimes rape can be sown
in the sweet corn, where it will occu-

Y

py no extra ground. New Zealand
spinach and Swiss chard are also good
greens for the hens, although perhaps
not eaten quite so readily. They are
easily grown, and as they, too, pro-
duce new leaves as fast as the first

growth is removed, it isn’t necessary-

t.o make a large planting to keep the
hens supplied with greens.

If you have more hens than you are
likely to need for your own table, you
will be wise to sell or can them rather
than to keep them along until you want
them to eat. In this way you will save
the feed which they otherwise would
consume.

Remember that the secret of getting
your pullets to lay early in the fall is
to keep them growing rapidly all
through the summer. If they are fed
irregularly, allowed to go without wa-
ter, or kept in the hot sun, they are
likely to receive a setback from which
they will be slow to recover. Give
them all the range possible, and be
sure that they are not. crowded at night.
Even well grown chickens are often
killed because the pen is too full, for
the birds pile up in the corner when
the night gets cold.

RABBIT WITH SORE EYES.

\Ve have a young rabbit six weeks
old that has a sore eye. A white scum
appears to cover the eye. Have been
washing it out with boric acid daily,
but. it. appears to be getting worse.
What had I better do for it‘I—H. G. E.

A disease called ophtlialmia some-
times affects the eyes of rabbits, mak—
ing them very sore and inflamed. Ex-
posure to draughts and damp hutches
may cause it. Try bathing the eyes
Willi warm water and then with milk.
If this does not help, bathe the eyes
four times a day with a solution of one
ounce of white copperas in a. pint of
water. Keep the rabbit in a clean
hutch where there are no draughts but
plenty of ventilation.——K.

POULTRY TROUBLES.

Please tell me what 10 do for hens
that get lame. They look well, their
combs are red, then they get lame.
Others act dumpish then become lame.
Would the chickens be fit for food
when in the first stages of this lame-
ness? Also tell me what to do for
white diarrhea—J. C. H.

Lameness in hens, accompanied by
rapid emaciation, is a. sign of tubercu-
losis and there is no cure for that dis-
ease. Lameness in a fowl that. appear-
ed otherwise healthy might be due to
rheumatism. Sometimes it is due to
bumble foot. That is an abscess on the
foot due to a briuse caused by jump»
ing from a high place to a hard floor
or stepping on some sharp material
which has caused an infected cut. In
such cases the abscess must be drain-
ed. the wound washed with a disinfect-
ant and the foot bandaged until healed.

‘Vhether a lame chicken would be fit
for food when it first became lame
would depend on whether the bird was
diseased or the lameness was caused
by a kick from some farm animal. An
examination of the carcass would prob-
ably tell. H the bird was tubercular
it would not, be fit for food. If there
Were many birds in that condition it;
would certainly pay to have a veteri-
narian inspect them and pass on their
value as food.

White diarrhea among chicks can be
controlled by giving buttermilk as the-
first drink. Then keep buttermilk and
sour milk before the chicks at all
1imes. Vigorous breeding stock and
good feeding and brooding conditions
help to prevent white diarrhea. Many
cases of digestive disorders caused by
chilling and wrong feeding are not
due to the white diarrhea germ-4K: 1'

tablishing the validity of its contracts
in the courts.

Mr. Ayres stressed the importance
of adequate financing when starting a
cooperative organization to engage in
manufacturing because of the fact that
producers want cash while the returns
on sales, especially of cheese, may not
’come in for several weeks.

The Dairymen’s Cooperative Sales
Company of Pittsburgh, and the Inter-
state Milk Producers’ Association in
Philadelphia territory act primarily as
bargaining associations, the price of
milk being established in conference
with the distributors and with Dr.
Clyde King as arbitrator. Milk manu-
facturing is a small feature in both
sections and advertising campaigns to
increase milk consumption are expecte
ed to reduce the quantity of milk to be
manufactured still more. So long as
distributors restrict themselves to a
reasonable handling charge there is no
effort on the part of the producers to
enter the retailing field although the
charter of the Pittsburgh organization I
would permit such activities. I

Professor Oscar Erf stated that co~
Operative distributing organizations in.
Ohio had not been a success on the:
whole as a result of small scale opera-
tions and faulty management andI
small scale operations also had caused
the downfall of many of the coopera~§
tive creameries of the state. I

The problem of organizing the milk‘
producers around the cities of 10,000,
to 50,000 inhabitants, and the country:
cream seller were discussed and the
need for suitable organization plans,
which could be recommended to groups
of such producers Who wished to or-
ganize was pointed out.

A. J. McGuire stated that the coop—
erative creameries of Minnesota would
like to cooperate with those of Wiscon- I
sin and Iowa for the marketing ofI
their products since all of them pro-I
iduced extra high quality butter as aI
result of the fact that each creameryI
obtained its cream from nearby terri-
tory. Combination with creameries
unable to produce high-quality butter
or with centralizers would be difficult.

The growth of the Wisconsin Cheese
Federation from forty-four factories to
on'e hundred and twenty, and the con—
duct of a business of $3,360,000 by the
federation on a capital of $1,320, was
discussed by L. G. Foster. This or—
ganization is extending its activities to
warehousing in. addition to selling, is
branding its cheese and developing a
special market. Eventually it is the
hope that sixty per cent of the cheese
produced in the two thousand seven
hundred factories in Wisconsin will be
under contract and amalgamation with
cheese producers of Minnesota and
Michigan is desired.

A. J. Glover, discussing the use of
whey and skim-milk, pointed out that
in the emphasis upon the price, of
milk products, the producer should not
lose sight of the function of the dairy
cow as a conserver of fertility, a util—
izer of rough feeds and the value of
dairy by-products; that farmers often
punished themselves more by failing
to appreciate the feeding value of
skim-milk than they were punished by
Unfair distributors.

R. C. l‘otts, chief of dairy marketing;
of the department of agriculture, out-
lined the eight fundamental principles
of successful cooperative marketing as
follows: The proper control by the
producers of the supply, ownership and

 

operation of the country plants, the
control of the product while in the

channels of distribution, organization
on a scund business basis especially
proper financing, efficient management
to keep down overhead, national mar
ket news service, stimulation of maxi-
mum consumption by advertising and
standardization to put production on a
quality basis so that the consumer

 

would be protected.

To experiment is usually costly. To
buy something that you know has
withstood all tests over along period
of years is plain common sense.
To let fire possibilities go unheeded
is dangerous. So this is the time for
you to investigate all your buildings.
If they are not. protected with fire-
resisting shingles you are taking
chances if you don’t insist on Rey-
nolds Protection and Economy.

Dairy Farming

 

 

 

 

FEW feedstuffs are looking up in
A price, and the market as a whole

is developing firmness. For the
immediate future, at least, it is quite
safe to conclude that the tendency of
values will be upward and that on a
majority of feeds the bottom has tem-
porarily been reached. Economic con-
ditions suggest that the trade in vir-
tually every line should “steer clear”
of the bull side, and there is, there-
fore, a strong tendency against assum-
ing a friendly attitude toward values
for corn and oats, cottonseed and lin-
seed cake and meal, bran and shorts,
alfalfa and molasses feeds and similar
commodities. While most feeds already
have undergone such a radical down-
ward readjustment that a bulge of ma-
terial proportions is only natural, feed-
ers should not become enthusiastic
about accumulating large stocks for
deferred requirements.

Corn Values Somewhat Erratic.

Action of the corn market serves to
temper bullish sentiment as to the po—
sition of fecdstuffs values. \Vhile corn
has fluctuated in an erratic course,
having recorded occasional gains in
prices in recent weeks, the definite
Vlrend of the market has continued
do“ nv’ald. It is very implobable that
llecdstuffs will enjoy mateiial adVances
1in prices at the same time that com

 

moves downward or even remains
around its current level. Of course,

the leading coarse grain could easily
turn from its weak position, around
forty-five to fifty-eight cents a bushel
on middle west markets, including (‘hi~
cago, at the present time; in fact, ob-
servers of the trade express the be-
lief that corn may develop strength
and share in a late spring and early
summer bulge. The market is now
practically the lowest on the crop.

Oat Market Offers Little for Encour-
agementr

Oats are in a position almost identi-
cal to that of corn, if possibly not in a
weaker state.’ The time is not far
distant Until new oats will become
available in commercial channels, with
the growing crop conditions excellent
as a rule. But the old crop stocks of
oats are of enormous proportions, the
visible and farm holdings of the United
States, together with the record supply
still available in Canada, are large
enough to make a good-sized crop. The
country faces the prospect, therefore,
of two crops of oats on its hands. De-
mand for oats is extremely light, the
human rolled oat food manufacturers
as well as feeders manifesting an al-

 

:lllOSL total lack of interest, in offerings.

The only strengthening influence in
the market is the slow movement of
both corn and cats from farms, the re—
sult of dissatisfaction over prices, poor
condition of roads, rush of spring field
work and a tendency to delay mar-
ketings until there is some assurance
of another large corn crop. The corn
acreage is expected to be practically
up to the average of recent years, and
there is little doubt but that another
large out-turn of the coarse grain will
mean further demoralizalion of the
market for this cereal and other feeds.
Cottonseed Favored.

Readers of The Michigan Farmer will
recall that the writer urged against
the purchase of linseed cake and meal
and at the same time manifested a
friendly attitude toward the accumula—
tion of supplies of cottonseed feed.
Some considered this as inconsistent,
and under normal conditions this

F ccd Markets All Askew

Some Liner Fz'mzer, Ot/ierr Lower Say: Sam/em Sax/and

would be true. However, the flaxsccd
by-product was abnormally high and
the product of the cottonseed at the
lowest level of any protein feed. The
theory has worked out as expected,
a break of about $12 to $13 a ton hav-
ing been recorded in linseed cake and
meal from its high point within a pc—
1‘iod of a few weeks, while cottonsccd
cake and meal have advanced $3.00 to
$4.00 a ton. Linseed feed has possibly
not yet reached .bottom, now selling
around $30 a ton for carlots at Minne-
apolis, and about $32 a ton in New
York or Buffalo. Still, further declincs
will be slow. -,

Cottonseed Cake.

Cake and meal of forty-three pcr
cent protein content are bringing
around $25.50 a. ton in Texas, the basic
state on this feed, around $26 in Okla-
homa and about $27.50 in Little Rock,
Arkansas, and surrounding territory.
Mill production of cottonseed feed is
light, yet the seed stocks on hand still
are large, which promises increased
activity of the crushing plants. (Tau-
liousness is now advisable in the pur—
chase of cottonseed feed around cur-
rent price levels. The withdrawal of
speculative or foreign dcmand might
bring an easier tone 10 the market,
possibly an abrupt downturn, and Ihc
speculative trade, which recognizcs
that its buying power is the strength—
ening influence, cannot. be expected to
maintain its present, schedule of pur-
chases while seeking to accumulate
stocks.

Bran and shorts also have strength-1

ened in price, though the rally has
been slow. Bran is about $2.00 a ton
above the bottom, selling around $15
ton in Kansas City, $15 to $16 in Min-
neapolis, $17 to $19 in St. Louis and
$18 to $19 a ton in Chicago territory.
Gray shorts are bringing about $20 to
$21 a ton in Minneapolis, about $1.00 to
$2.00 a ton higher than a month ago,
about $18 ’10 $19 in Kansas City, and
$21 to $22 in St. Louis and Chicago.
About the middle of April the markct
for bran had declined to around $le 11
ton, basis the leading western milling
centers, the lowest price since the
fore part of 1906, more than fifteen
years ago. While neither mill offal
can be considered as in a strong posi-
tion, the prospects of further sharp
recessions are not bright. Some of the
large speculative millfeed operators in
the east have recently been in the mar-
hot for “season bran," that is, bran for
shipment at any time during the rc-
mainder of 1921, around $10 a ton in
Kansas City, and $13.50 in St. Louis,
and about $10 to $11 in Minneapolis.
So far as could be learned, not a single
sale of bran for season shipment has
thus far been made, millers and dis-
tributors in the west considering the
bids of the eastern trade far below a.
working basis.
Production Reduced.

Reduced production of
shorts is probable the remainder of
the crop year. Even at the prescnt
time flour milling plants are operating
at hardly thirty to forty per cent of
capacity, owing to a dearth of demand
for the better grades of flour. Many
mills, which in recent weeks have been
grinding actively, accumulated the
flour in their warehouses and loaded
up as much as possible before shutting
down. The millfeed was worked off
into consumptive channels. Now, with
many mills entirely down, flour already

bran and

ground must be worked on, which“

This is bullish, of
course, yet demand is extremely light
in most sections of the country, and
dealers are doubtful whether the re-
duced production will be felt. The lat-

ter half of May might record some'

strength in bran and shorts, but easier
quotations are probable before the
close of the crop year.
Hay Not Wanted.
Insignificant marketings from the
west- serve to maintain prices for al-
falfa, tame and prairie hay at an ab

normal level in the consuming sections .

or the country, yet the western pro-
ducer argues that he cannot afford to
ship because of the low prices offered
for his surplus. At any rate. the mar-
ket for alfalfa is at too high a level to
suggest purchases, and the feeder in
Michigan or surrounding states, as well
as in other sections of the country, is
unwilling to buy forage at a delivered
price figuring almost twice as high as
corn or oats. And, so long as this con-
dition prevails, a narrow hay trade,
with an extremely light demand, is
probable. Only a few cars, less than
forty each day, ‘are being received in
Kansas City, the world’s largest. dis—
tributing market, but more or less dil-
ficulty is being experienced in dispos<
:ing of this insignificant quantity.

REDUCED FARES TO BIG SALE.

EDUCED fares to the biggest Hol-
stein sale of the year-.huve been
granted by railroads in certain terrt
torics. Breeders coming to the Second
National Cooperative Sale of the Hol—
stein-Friesian Association of America.
to be held from May 31 to June 4 in
Syracuse, N. Y., in connection with the
annual meeting of the association, will
effect a twenty-live per cent; saving.
Slates included in the reduced fare

area are Michigan, Indiana, Ohio,
Pmtnsylvania, West Virgmia, Mary:

land, Deleware, New Jersey, New York
and the portion of Illinois bounded on
the west by a line drawn from Chicago
to St. Louis. Breeders coming from
beyond these states can secure reduc-
ed fares while within the area.

When buying tickets to Syracuse,
breeders within the states listed should
ask for reduced fare certificates. These
will be stamped at the sale and count
for one-half the cost of the return
ticket. Certificates will not be granted
on fares into Syracuse costing less
than sixty-seven cents.

Members from beyond the reduced
fare section can secure a certificate
when entering the territory and the
reduction for that part of the trip. Offi-
cials of stations not having certificates
will furnish information as to where
they can be secured. It will necessr
tale a change in both cases, but will
mean a saving.

TO CLEAN UP DAIRY HERDS.

ROSPECTS grow better every day

for the bringing to Saginaw county
ol‘ a state and federal approved veter-
inarian to test county dairy herds for
tuberculosis and to supervise the care
ol‘ local herds in the interest of the
milk supply. About one hundred and
fifty farmers have signed applications
for the state and federal supervision
and many others have signified their
intentions of doing so. If three hun-
dred dairy herd owners of the county
agree to cooperate, the testing and
supervision of the herds can be done
at a slight additional cost of produc-
tion for milk. HM.

the possibilities of the light soils of
central and northern Michigan. This
means that the demonstration farm
near Grayling, owned by the develop-
ment bureau, will be the scene of a
large part of these demonstrations.
which will be carried on under the di-
rection of Dean Shaw, who is at the
head of the extension service of the

Weakness—Azotnria.-I have eight-
yearold mare that tires when doing
hard work, but seems to stand light
.Work all right. Another mare had a
milk attack of azoturia some four
Weeks ago; since then she does not
thrive. Do you recommend sulphur as
a remedy for horses? If so, what is
the dose for a horse? C. H. N., Milan,
Mich.-——Your mare lacks condition, her
heart and muscles of body are weak.
Feed her all the oats and good mixed
hay she will eat and avoid exhausting
her. It will require time to put her in
good condition. Give your mare two
tablespoont‘uls of bicarbonate of soda
in feed or in drinking water three or
four times a day. Exercise her daily.
No, don’t give sulphur.

Secure—Brood mare due to foal
some time soon, occasionally scours
and I am told that she has lost more
than one colt. What can be done for
her? A. 8., Bad Axe, Mich.-——The less
exercise she has the fewer the bowel
movements. However, if she is fed
oats, some wheat bran and timothy
hay her bowels will not act too freely.

Sore Neck—My horse is troubled
with sore neck, caused by the collar.
His mane is heavy and after sores heal
a hard scab forms. I need him for
work. J. S. M., Onesick, Mich—Freeze
the sore parts with an ethyl chroide
spray, this will terminate the infec-

 

tion and irritation of the skin.

Preventing Heat—I have mare that:
comes in heat every three weeks. Can ;
I do anything to prevent it? W. F.,;
Mt. Clemens, Mich—Spaying is the;
only preventative remedy, but if not!
vicious, why have it done? -

lndlgestion.~—I feed my twelve-year-
old mare fourteen quarts of oats and.
all the timothy hay she Will eat, but;
she fails to lay on flesh. She urinates
often, strains some and hind legs stock.
Had teeth floated. O. K., Northport,
Mich.~0ats and timothy are not fat-
tening, feed equal parts of corn and
oats, also give her some roots and mix-
ed hay.

Mammitis.~My cow came fresh two
weeks ago; since then her udder has
been badly swollen and her milk is of
poor quality. J. L. T., Mason, Mich.—
Apply one part fluid extract of poke
and six parts petrolatum or lanolin to
udder twice a day: give her a. table-
spoonful of fluid extract of poke three
times daily. Milk her clean three
times daily.

WHEAT

During the past. week the scarcity of
cash wheat bet'arrre especially conspic~
uous and at the same. time the outlook
for a big crop 01‘ new wheat has been
modified by the reports of damage to
winter wheat and estimates of a. de-
crease of two million acres in spring
wheat planting. The result; has been
a sharp advance in cash wheat prices.
()ld crop reserves will be entirely
cleaned up by the time new wheat, ar-
rives it' the present rate ot’ disappear-
ance continues. The strong statistical
position of old crop wheat, in this coun-
try has suddenly become prominent
and has improved the price outlook for
the new crop. Spring wheat seeding
is not yet complete but advanced re-
ports point to a reduction of 2,000,000
acres compared to last year, or around
30.000.000 bushels. Conditions for
planting have been favorable for the

most part.
CORN

The. demand for corn has shown a.
marked improvement during the past
two weeks. \‘Vith growers selling only
moderate quantities, stocks in terminal
markets are being depleted, rapidly
and the visible supply has decreased
oneethird with further shrinkage high-
ly probable. The domestic demand is
broader and export buying has been a
feature. Reports upon the acreage 01‘
the new crop show but little change
compared with last year.

OATS

Recent: cold weather and frosts have
damaged the oat. crop to some extent
in sections of large production. Droutlr
in the southwest has also caused some
deterioration. No official report is
available upon the acreage of oats but:
some increase is expected. Cash de-
mand for oats has improved but. not: as
much as for corn and stocks in termi-
nals remain large.

RYE

\Vith a. small visible supply, big ex-
port shipments during the past ten
months and additional export sales not
yet shipped, the rye situation closely
resembles that of wheat and may be
even more acute. The. carryover is
likely to be extremely small. Prices
remain unusually close to the level of

wheat.
FEEDS

Linseed oil meal continued its pre-
cipitate decline during the past week
and is now quoted as low as $28 per
ton in northwestern markets. Cotton-
seed meal, on the other'hand, has been
firm. ”Wheat feeds show but little
change compared with. a week ago.
Middlings are slightly stronger than
bran at most markets. Latest quota-
tions-per ton (100-lb bags) in carlots
were: Detroit—Bran $27; standard
middlings $25; dour .midgilings . $20.;

BEANS

The market for Michigan beans is
firm, prices holding practically all of
the advance scored late in April.
Around $3.60 to $3.70 is the f. o. b.
price for choice hand-picked with $3
paid to growers for beans in the dirt.
Holders are waiting for tariff legisla-
tion while wholesale grocers are only
buyng beans on a limited'scale.

SEEDS

Higher prices for grains, together
with reports of frost damage to young
clover caused an advance in prices dur-
ing the past week in spite of a slow
cash demand. Quotations upon clover
seed for October delivery are about $4
below the cash market while cash tim-
othy is slightly lower than the future

delivery.
WOOL

The wool markets report a. slight in-
crease in demand during the past week
with prices firnr. Mills are buying
more. extensively against, future needs
and the demand for woolen goods con-
tinues healthy. Sales of the new clip
in the west, have not been extensive as
growers are more confident as to the
future. Foreign sales show advances
of five to ten per cent with cross-breds
stronger than merinos. Tariff legisla-
tion still hangs fire with the “emer-
gency” practically passed. Imports
during March were around 100,000,000
pounds or about one-third of the an-
nual clip for this country. The Boston
market is quoted as follows: Ohio and
Pennsylvania fleeces, delaine unwash

washed 36@380; fine unwashed 30@

three-eighths blood unwashed 28@29c.

APPLES

Apple markets advanced another 500
per barrel during the past week, A-21/2
Baldwins bringing mostly $6.50@7 per
barrel. Stocks are large but the out-
look continues favorable for holders of

sound stock.
HAY

With light receipts in distributing
markets, limited consumptive demand,
and prices high compared with feed
grains, the hay situation shows prac-
tically no change. Compared with a
week ago values are slightly lower.

EGGS AND POULTRY

Egg prices apparently have reached
a stable level as changes have been
slight for the last two weeks. The re-
ceipts are large but storage buyers
have been absorbing them without: dif-
ficulty. Poultry markets remain high
compared with other meats and a de-
cline appears likely before many weeks
have passed. At Detroit. current re-
ceipts bring 241/2 ”(025C and in Chicago
22411223130. Detroit’s poultry prices are:
Spring chickens 28((tj30c; heavy hens
300; roosters 1560180; geese at 18c;
ducks 32c; turkeys 400.

irregular, the eastern markets being
strong while middlewestern cities de-

clined. .
BUTTER

Butter markets turned upward for a
brief period during the past Week and
closed only a shade lower than a week
ago. Dealers were endeavoring to
clean up stocks entirely from day to
day and a scarcity of offerings sudden-
ly developed. Off-grades of butter have
been abundant and exceedingly hard
to sell at. prices ranging from 15@25c.
Grass butter is common but there is
no surplus of that grade. The closing
tone was unsettled with the course ot.’
prices dependent almost entirely upon
the volume of receipts. Prices for 92-
score fresh butter are: Chicago 31c;
New York 360; Boston 36c; Philadel-
phia 370; Detroit, fresh creamery in
tubs 29c; pound prints 291,50.

CHEESE

Further declines in both country and
distributing markets for cheese occur-
red last week with a still lower level
highly probable. Prices are now slight-
ly below the pre-war basis. Export de-
mand was liberal both at Chicago and
in the east and absorbed most of the
supply of twins, flats and double dais-
ies. White cheese brought a premium
over colored until near the close of
the week. Quality shows marked im-
provement, many sections sending full
grass cheese.

Detroit.—Flats t15@151éc; Twins
15c; Daisies 151/20; Longhorns 160;
Brick 17c.

FURTHER DECLINES IN HORSE

MAR K ETS.

Prices for horses declined $10@15
because of a moderate increase in re-
ceipts. Demand is irregular, occasion-
al buyers for wagon horses. loggers,
drafters or farm chunks putting in an
appearance but there is no persistent
demand from any quarter. No pro-
nounced change is likely for several
months but there is nothing in the sit-
uation to point to a higher market.
Chicago.»~Good and choice heavy
drat'ters $200@250; common and me
dium dr'al'ters $130ttcl65; t'arm mares
$100@150; farm chunks $110@155;
wagon horses $135(d;175.

CHEAP STock CATTLE WANTED.

Country demand for thin cattle is
limited mostly to cheap steers, cows
and heifers to be placed on grass. Val—
ues of such grades are not low, com-
pared with. the price of finished steers
but, there is a distinct effort to econ-
omize on the amount of the invest-
ment. Such cattle if to be sold in the
tall will compete with range cattle, al-
though they may have made satisfac-
tory gains on grass. On the whole, de-
mand for stock cattle remains limited,
indicating that the country is not yet
increasing beef production so that the
position of growers already in the bus-
iness is becoming better rather than
worse.

Ask yourself Why .

the mass of expert testimony favors Gargoyle Mobiloils

HliRli is an old saying that one

swallow doesn’t. make a summer.

it is equally true that one tractor

owner’s experience with a lubricating
oil means little.

The facts that coy/rt are fact; in [/25
man. Such as these:

(I) The State of Nebraska ofiicially
tests all makes of tractors sold within
its borders. These tests are conducted
at the University of Nebraska.

Out of 64 tractors (representing 38
different makes) successfully demon—
strated at these State tests, in 199.0,
‘49 were. lubricated with Gargoyle
i\/‘lobiloils. 39 of these tractors used
no other oil. IO ofthem used Gargoyle
lVlobiloils for part of the test. The
greatest number of
tractors lubricated
with any other brand
of oil totaled 7. int
young/f 10/1}.

(2) Practically every

‘ tractor manufacturer
approves the use of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gargoyle lVlobiloils. Ask yourself wily.

(3) Where a tractor manufacturer
recommends one oil exclusively it is
nearly always Gargoyle Mobiloils. 115k
yourself why.

(4) Tests which have proved the
striking superiority ofGargoyle Mobil-
oils are not to be numbered by the
dozens, but by the hundreds. ln hun-
dreds of tests the use of Gargoyle
Mobiloils as‘ specified in our Chart of
Recommendations has shown fuel
savings of from 17% to 25%. Oil con~
sumption has frequently been lowered
from 50% to 70%.

The Vacuum Oil Company Charts
of ReCommendations for tractors, trucks
and automobiles are the result of
expert engineering
analyses combined
with actual field ex—
perience.

If you are interested
in savings like these
