How Can‘t/2e Ninety and Nine Y onng Men and [Winen on t/ze Farm W/zo Cannot Attend t/ze

children are not receiving the educational



training they should have, and also that

many of them can not obtain it under our

present system. To be sure, we have a tui-

tion law that requires districts to pay tuition

of rural graduates who enter high school, but

many parents can not take advantage of this

law for the following reasons: First, poor

roads and distance from high school; second,

lack of means to maintain their children away

from home the entire school year; third, need

of the children at home during part of the

school year to perform necessary farm labor.



Also, our high school courses have not been

arranged to meet the needs of the majority

of the pupils. They are preparatory schools

arranged to meet the needs of the few who

may attend college, rather than finishing

schools arranged to meet the needs of the

many who never will attend college.



While a college trainfing is necessary if one

wishes to enter‘one of the professions, it is

not necessary if one wishes to enter one of

the many callings.- If our young people will

thoroughly master the common branches, get

tages which ought to be theirs. They are in

something the same position as the man with

an automobile and no place to which he can

go with it. They have learned to read and

cipher but they have not been inspired with

an ambition to specially fit themselves for

any definite work. Through the course of a

half-dozen. or more years they have worked

hard to learn to recognize the letters and have

spent many long hours in an effort to conquer

the multiplication tables only to have their

educational career cut short at the point

where these accomplishments could be util-

ized in preparing them for the business of

In other words, the most important

part of their education has been overlooked.

Habits of reading have not been established

nor a desire for self—improvement formed, at

least so far as the influence of their schooling

is concerned.



In answer to the above question, I will

say, let ‘us establish short courses. Let us

change our tuition laws/so that the money

to which the rural graduates are entitled may

be used to pay any necessary expenses in-

curred in sending them to attend the short





courses at the M. A. C., or any other state

school where short courses may be establish-

ed. ’Give them the right to use this money to

pay for a business course in any private bus-

iness college on the accredited list. Also,

where possible, let us establish short-term

business courses in at least one high school

in each county for the benefit of rural pupils

who are unable to attend high school the full

year.



This plan can be put into effect at once

and will be the means of giving large num-

bers of rural graduates better chances for an

education than they now have.



It is not intended that this plan should take

the place of the consolidated school but rather

to fill in the gap until the consolidated school

arrives. But even then the short course should

not be overlooked.



Once established the short course will prob-

ably never loose its hold since it is so easy to

adapt it, to varying conditions and require-

ments and to people of all ages. \Vhen the

consolidated school is here, and it seems cer<

tain to come in time, the habit. of study will

have been so well developed through the in-

‘tluenccs ot‘ the short

courses that in en—

But how are our

rural children to get

consolidated school

may in time solve

this problem but it

will be some time be-

fore the consolidated

school arrives. We

must have good'”

roads before we can

transport our chil-

'dren to and from

school and it takes

both time and money

to build them.



In the meantime

numbers of children

are graduating from

the rural schools ev-

reasons previously

Since these cours—

CURRENT COMMENT





SPECIAL session

of the Michigan





A Spccmll legislature has been

sess’on called by Gov. Groes-

Duty beck for Tuesday, May





24. The primary rea-



son for this action is the passage of

a soldiers’ bonus law in accordance

with the constitutional amendment re-

cently adopted permitting such action.

The constitution of the state provides

that the work of the legislature in spe‘

cial session must be limited to the con-

sideration of legislative subjects which

are recommended to its consideration

by the governor. The governor is not

limited as to his recommendations. He

can recommend action on any propo-

sition. And there is at least one im-

portant proposition, other than those

receiving current mention, which he

should be urged to present to the leg—

islature at this coming special session.

_ One of the few things asked of the

legislature during its regular session

by the farmers of the state was the

submission of an amendment to the

state constitution which would permit

the enactment of a state income tax

'law. This proposition had the solid

backing of the farmers’ organizations

of the state, the active support of the

federated legislative committee of

those organizations, and the approval

of the state tax commission, but it

failed of passage. It was passed by

the lower house with an amendment

exempting corporations from the pos-

sible provisions of any law which

might be enacted under the proposed

amendment. Even in this “toothless”

form it failed of adoption by the sen-

ate. Not because of any opposition to

the principle! Oh! No! But a study

and revision of the whole taxation

question is contemplated and the in-

come tax proposition can be studied

and acted upon more intelligently and

equitably in connection with a general

revision of our tax laws.



‘ This, of course, is buncombe. If a

:constitutional amendment is a neces-

'sary preliminary to state income tax



legislation now it will be necessary

1 .rthen and without it an income tax law



Kaboiild not be passed, even if thought

dosirable by the investigators, without

firiltber delay. Plocrastination and de-

a are early methods of opposition, but

they, are effective, and in the meantime

the will continue to bear an unjust





   

 





.vision which exempts





 

   

   

   

   

   





ations from the operation of the pro-

posed amendment are interesting It

has been pointed out that the emer.

gency capital stock tax to be levied

upon corporations to make up the de-

ficit in the state treasury is an added

burden to business, and all it can stand

at this time. Apparently a uniform tax

of this kind was more than those who

framed and passed this bill thought

“big business” could stand, since the

limit of $10,000 placed, upon the tax of

any corporation will reduce the pro.

portionate tax of some of the big cor-

porations doing business in the state

to less than half of the‘rate which the

“small fry” have to pay, while the pro:

corporations

now contributing to the primary school

fund will relieve a large class of cor-

porations entirely from the operation

of the law. It is “explained” by some

legislators who defend. these limita-

tations and exemptions that certain

Kansas court decisions made them

necessary to avoid the danger of the

law being declared unconstitutional.

To the ordinary citizen of average 111-

telligence it would appear that there is

far greater danger of such a result in

the favoring of the big corporations in

the matter of 'rate and exemptions.



But this argument is not tenable as

a reason for refusing to submit a con-

stitutional amendment which would

make possible the passage of a state

income tax law at s0me future time.

The new corporation tax law is an

emergency measure, adopted as the

quickest available method of getting

the money to make up a large deficit

in the state treasury. It is generally

understood that it will be modified in

the future, and this will probably be

done before an income tax law could

be adopted under an amendment to

the constitution which might be sub-

mitted at this time, in case it should

be adopted.



Be that as it may, Governor Groes-

beck should be urged to recommend

this proposition of an amendment to

the constitution to enable the passage

of a state income tax law if this is

deemed desirable in the future. A gen-

eral request to this end by the farmers

of the state would not be lightly ig—

nored, and the source of the opposition

in the legislature would be uncovered

if it continued to be in evidence.





N the present emer-

gency Michigan





Where . _ .



. . farmers are reaping

Drverwty the benefit of a high-

Helps ly diversified agricul-





ture. Although they

have keenly felt the burden of read-

justment, it has not been the crushing

burden felt by the farmers of the one-

crop states, where cotton or corn or

wheat, or even live stock, alone is the

chief source of cash revenue. The

farmers of Michigan produce a greater

variety of cash crops than those of any

other state, and when one product is a

drug on the market another will sup-

ply the revenue to tide the general

farmer over the emergency, where the

specialist may fail to make ends meet.

Then, too, our state is favorably locat-

ed so far as markets and shipping fa-

cilities are concerned, with many large

industrial centers in our midst or with.

in easy reach by rail, water or trolley

routes, and with a network of good

roads which facilitate the movement

of our products to near-by markets by

motor truck.



The.fact that'Michigan agriculture

is in a far more prosperous condition

than that of most states is attested by

many manufacturers whose sales are

bettei here than in most other terri-

tory. This fact should also be appre-

ciated by Michigan farmers, not alone

as a solace for present hardships but

an encouragement for the future as

well. Our great variety of Salable pro-

ducts, our nearness to good markets,





our superior transportation facilities





 





 





belieVe will usher 111' a period of g

eral prosperity. It is up to us to real-





ize this opportunity and be prepared





to profit by it. Our farmers are on the

road to the perfection of an adequate

marketing system for their many cash

crops But these crops must be grown

before they are marketed, and they

must be produced economically for a

maximum return on the investment.

This means that our equipment must

be kept up to date and that the various

operations must be seasonably per-

formed 'to the end that eVery hour of

man labor be made to count for a max~

imum of economic results,iand that





.the handicap of adverse weather con-





ditions may be reduced to the lowest

possible minimum.



Improved methods of distribution

are most desirable and will be an im-

portant economic factor in the rehabil-

itation of our agriculture. But eco-

nomic production will continue to be a

factor of primary importance in the

financial success of every farmer.

Close attention to the economic details

of production will make for a still

greater comparative measure of pros-

perity for Michigan farmers.





URING the past

month notices of





General

P . price reductions on

no.3 farm equipment and

Reductions materials have been





so numerous as to in-

dicate that this action has been very

general on the part of manufacturers.

In the majority of cases this price out

has been made on the basis of the re-

placement cost of materials and the re-

production cost of manufactured goods,

rather than upon the actual cost of

goods which are ready for early deliv-

ery. Manufacturers have very gener-

ally realized that volume of business

is necessary to keep overhead costs

down to a reasonable limit, and have

sacrificed every prospect of present

profit to maintain their organizations

and operate their factories.



Continued industrial operation is

quite as important to farmers as to

city people. A general condition of

unemployment is certain to restrict the

market for their products. Hence the

resumption of nominal purchases of

needed goods, particularly of equip-

ment and materials needed for the

econdmic conduct of the farm business

is doubly wise economy. Delay in the

purchase of even badly needed goods

was a normal expression of human na-

ture on the part of every farmer as

well as every other man, so long as he

believed that prices asked were out or

proportion. to reasonable production

costs. But with, this obstacle removed

there should be an early return to nor-

malcy in this respect.





MICHIGAN’S OLDEST SHORTHORN

BREEDER DEAD.





 





D. DEGARMO, of Highland, Oak-



. land county, Michigan’s oldest

breeder of Shorthorn cattle in point of

continuous service, if not in years,

died on Wednesday, May 11. In his

life work as a breeder he followed in

the footsteps of his father, who was

one of the pioneer breeders of pure-

bred live stock in the state. Mr. De-

Garmo was continuously engaged in





breeding Shorthorns in the township-





where he died, for more than half a

century, building up a wide and envi-

able reputation as a breeder and one

of the best herds in the state.





He was ever a progressive farmer





as well as a progressive breeder. "He'





was the first farmer in his community

to use a grain binder, the first to ex-

periment with the growing of alfalfa,





and Wes ever as active in seeking the





improvement of crops and methods of

growing and handling them as he was





in the improvement of” the breed of"





 





 





hisiideathi, and Wes one of" the "class or





older farmers on-wshOmr the burden" or» i 1

war. conditions rested heavily in the‘

eonduct .of his large farm withinsufilw





clent help. But he “carried on” as he

had ever lived, in the conduct of a use-





"ful work, through which he made a.





substantial contribution to the agricul-

ture of the state and nation.





Mr. DeGarmo is survived by his wid-





ow and an unbroken family of three

sons and five daughters and their fam-

ilies. His useful life, which has been

helpful to a large circle of personal

and business acquaintances with whom

he came in contact—and harmful to





none—should prove an inspiration to





many a young man with a likingfor

the farm and good live stock, and a.

vision of the useful possibilities of a

life-time devoted to the improvement

of the industry.

before the crops are-grown.





 





Some Cofla'ztzom NéCerrtry to

HERE is one principle about





growing peas for canning that I'





like, and that is fixing this price

I. This re-

moves all possibilities of speculation

on the faa‘mer’ s part. He knows if he

can grow a good crop he can pay ex-

penses and generally have some profit

besides. 1



Of course, the nature of canning





‘ crops is such that they could not be





grown in any other way. No man

would grow canning crops or sugar

beets and depend upon selling them on

the open market ,after they were

grown. “They must be cared for at

once and must necessarily be the prop-

erty of the canner when ready to

harvest



It would be better for agriculture

and better for the consumer, in my

opinion, if many other products were

produced on the same basis. The time

will come when if an adequate supply

of meat is to be had, the producer must

have some guarantee as to price in—

stead of depending upon a speculative

market before he makes an

ment. For produCts that can be stored

other means will be found to eliminate

much of the speculation now prevail-





' ing. This will benefit not only the pro-





ducer but the consumer as well.



Another thing I like about the pea

crop is that it is a cash crop and fur-

nishes the farmer money in mid-sum-

mer to pay current expenses.



Pea vine silage also comes when the

pastures are getting short and furnish—

es a needed succulent food.



Peas and Live Stock.



Canning crops and live stock hus-

bandry should go together, because

canning factory crops always have a

by-product that can be utilized as live

stock food. Husks and cobs of sweet

corn, the vines and pods of lima beans

and the pea vines after they haVe been

through the viner, if propei'ly preserv—

ed, make good food for ‘live stock, es-

pecially dairy cows. There is no bet-

ter way of preserving the pea vines

than ensiloing them directly from the

viner. They always contain sufficient.

moisture so they pack down well in

the silo and will keep for an indefinite

time. I am not aware of any accurate

scientific feeding test having been

made to determine the real value of

pea vine silage, but I do know that

dairy cows and young dairy stock rel-

ish pea vine silage very much, and

they’do well on it. When feeding this

product the dairyman should arrange

to feed a little different grain ration

than when feeding corn silage, because

the pea vines are richer in protein

than corn. Whén feeding corn silage





invest:





arming

Succerr. By Color: C. LII/{e





itis balanced with wheat bran, cotton-

seed meal and oil meal, but these con-

centrated protein foods can largely be

eliminated and corn meal, ground oats

or ground barley substituted for them

and still preserve the balanced ration.



It has been estimated that a good-

crop of peas will produce two tons of

silage per acre. This silage undoubt-

edly is worth more per ton than-corn

silage, because it is richer in protein,

a high-priced food ingredient.



However, this silage may not be as

valuable as one would estimate, as it

may cost too much to handle. For in-

stance, if the grower lives two miles

from the factory or viner, it is a ques-

tion whether he could afford to haul

this silage back to his farm if he had

to make a special trip for. it. It cer-

tainly would add very much to the

cost of the feed. A practical way in

solving this problem is to have the

viner on the farm where the peas are

grown so that vines are deposited in

the silo without extra expense. The

shelled peas can be delivered to the

factory at a smaller expense than haul-

ing the vines both ways. In my judg—

ment the success of a factory depends

upon getting an acreage very close to

the factory, not to exceed two miles or

else place viners in different neighbor-

hoods so that the expense of hauling

the vines can be eliminated. My farm

is located about four miles from the

canning factory and the pea crop

would not appeal to me at all if 1 had

to haul the crop.



Best Soil.



Peas can be grown on almost any

kind of soil in this latitude. They do

well on any soil that will produce good

corn and yet, in my judgment, the ideal

soil is a well-drained clay loam, a trifle

too heavy for corn. For best results

with pea crops this loam should be

rich in plant food and also in organic

matter. The pea grower dreads an

early drought. Dry weather just at

the time peas are producing pods

shorten the crop. Should such a

drought occur and the soil be a little

bit light, in'character, the loss may be

serious. To get best results the soil

should be of such a nature and in such

condition that there is a good supply

of capillary moisture.



In p1epa1ing land f01 peas it should

be loosened up quite deeply. Adeep

seed-bed should .be prepared so the

peas can be planted rather deep, three

or four inches will give better results

with pea tshan shallow planting. Shal-





,low planting is always affected by dry





weather.

Pea growers find that this is not a

Carhosota—T he A vailable

Remedy





Preservative treatment with

Carbosota is an immediately avail-

reducing the loss from wood decay,

which may easily be employed on

every farm, wherever situated.





Of the non- p1essure carbosoting

processes, ()p'en lank treatment

(alternate hot and cold bath. or

hot and cooling bath) Is the most

effective. Wheie the quantity of

timber to be treated w airants the

moderate expense of tanks. etc.,

or Where a group of farmers can

share the expense of a “communi-

treatment should be used. How-

FARM BUREAU NEWS





 





 





 





HE first; ten ’days of the- farm

bureau wool pool of 1921 have

resulted in the grading of 110,—

000 pounds, according to the wool de-

partment. This is foul times the

amount which had been pooled on the

same date last year.





Practically all of the glowers ale

found to be taking advantage of the

cash advance of fifty per cent of the

market price of the wool. On last

Friday total cash advances amounted

to $12,129.70.



The above figures do not include

2,000 pounds of wool which was

brought'in at Delton where the grad-

ers did not have time to grade it, and

also all of the wool pooled at Albion,

the report of which had not reached

the farm bureau office when this arti-

cle was written. The totals so far, in

addition to those announced last week





are as follows: Charlotte, 29,111

pounds; Bellevue, 13,690; Hastings,

10,771; Nashville, 5,279; Bolton, 16,-





ments may possibly be made to revisit

some of these towns and the others

visited during the forepart of the sum-

mer in order to accept the wool of

those farmers who were unable to get

to town on the wool-grading day and

also those who have not yet clipped

their sheep.



The cash advancement plan seems

to be meeting with considerable favor.

Arrangements are made by the wool

department with a local bank to ac-

cept the. grading assignments on the

same day or the next day after the

wool is pooled and graded. The farm-

er is given an opportunity not only to

watch the grading but also to see his

product weighed. The weighmastei- .im-

mediately makes out a grading certifi-

cate which the grower may take to

the bank.



Handling Expenses Reduced.



When the wool department announc-

ed its new method of grading wool in

a hundred places instead of in a few

centralized warehouses it also said

that handling expenses would be cut

in half. This expense feature of the

pool has been receiving probably more

attention than any other, according to

the farm bureau, because the real sav-

ing by the pooling method comes very

largely through cutting handling ex-

penses and middlemen’s commissions.

The State Farm Bureau expects to add

another item in its manufacturing of

large quantities of wool into blankets

and fabrics, but that is another story.

Only two weeks of 1921 wool pooling

had elapsed when this article was writ.

ten but observation of the costs seem-

ed to prove the original statements of

the wool department. Thelabor last

year was secured in cities where it

naturally would be higher than that

secured in the count1y as is done this

yeai The actual figures show, accord-

ing to the fa1m bu1 eau that the labor

expense is one-half what it was las

year. ’



The freight from the local assemb-

ling station to a central warehouse has

been avoided entirely. Last year this





freight amounted to three-quarters to

one cent a pound from most of the

, wool-producing points in the state. At





this rate it is roughly-figured that be-

tween 3800 and $1, 000 has already been





saved on the 110,000 pounds already

3 pooled. .





Another point which has been found





, to favor the new pooling systemrils that

able circumstances: Instead of beta:

packed in large bags as is usually dor .

before the grading occurs, the wool 'is

er’s hands. It doesn’t get mashed an I

Manufacturing Wool.



Interest in the manufacturing side

of the wool pool program is increasing

every day. A. J. Hankins, manager ot‘

the wool pool, says that at the present

rate of business the department is

turning over $300,000 Worth of blank-

ets and fabrics a year, but, taking into

consideration the constantly increas

ing demand for suitings, it looks like

the business might develop to close to

II million dollars within a year. Wool

manufactured into blankets and suit-

ings is bringing from twenty-five. to one

hundred per‘ cent more than that which

IS sold to the mills. Money derived

from the sale of these goods is addcl

to the amount secured for the same

grades of wool which was sold direct

and is expected to raise materially the

total sum which each wool grower will

receive for his product.



Where Grading Will Be Done.



It was found necessary to add a

third grading crew last Monday. The

three graders in the field this week

have been working in Branch, Neway-

go, Monroe and Shiawassee counties.

For the week beginning May 23, the

schedule of grading days is as follows:



Monday—Centerville, Holly and St.

Johns. ‘



Tuesday—Centerville, Holly and Mt.

Pleasant. "



VVednesday—Centerville, Oxford and

Mt. Pleasant.



Thursday—Colon, Oxford and Mt.

Pleasant.



Friday—Colon and South Lyons.



Saturday—Colon and Howell.





Last week the last of the 1920 pool

was graded. The final figune amounted

It took about a

year to grade the 1920 pool. The farm

bureau states that one grader was on

the job alone for the summer months

and that two graders were put on in

October. One of the features which

the department has overcome this year

is the long period 0: waiting which

many growers were forced to endure

from the time they turned their wool

over to the assembler tovthe time they

received their grading certificates.

Spot grading and spot advancement of

one-half the market value of the wool

probably. has had much to do with the

phenomenal success of the new pool.



Three-quarters of a million pounds

of wool is still unsold. However, the

wool has been moving freely during

the last few months and the depart-

ment reports that it may not be long

before the remainder of the pool is

disposed of. Last week 100,000 pounds

of short, fine clothing were sold direct

to a large mill for twenty-three cents

a pound f. o. b. Lansing. Country buy-

ers are understood to have been oner-

ing fifteen cents a pound at the same

time.



A representative of the wool depart:

ment returned from a visit to some of

the mills last week where he had Inn

dot way negotiations for the manufao

turerof goods, including fall and winter

suitings and overcoats. Another nep-

resa-ntative is in Philadelphia this





week negotiating for handling the wool, '

\W-‘w -
Li'Would Improve

' .Our Cream





ITfiOUT publishing broadcast a

W statement of their intentions,





'the Michigan Association of

Creamery Owners & Managers launch-

ed a campaign in March to bring about

a higherrgrade of butter in Michigan.

They aref doing this by appealing to

fifty thousand individual cream pro-

ducers through a systematic distribu-

tion of interesting and instructive lit-

erature. The association looks at the

problem of production and marketing

from a broad viewpoint and sees that

by securing a higher grade of butter,

everybody in, the industry, including

farmer, manufacturer, and consumer,

will be benefited.



The plan of the creamery associa-





tion is to educate the creameries, the .





station buyers and the producers to

the habit of dividing cream into two

grades. These grades have been arbi-

trarily divided as follows: ‘



First Grade Cream.-——Shall be cream

that is clean, smooth, free from all un-

desirable odors, clean to the taste, and

sweet or only slightly sour.



Second Grade Cream.——Shall be

cream that is too sour to grade as first

grade cream, that contains undesirable

flavors or odors in a moderate degree,

and' that is slightly foamy-or yeasty,

or is too old to pass as first grade

cream, yet not sufficiently poor to con-

demn. All sour cream containing less

than twenty-five per cent butter—fat

shall be graded as second grade cream.



1in addition to the above two grades

there is a third grade, or rather a

lack of grade, which has been defined

by' law as insanitary and which the

association says must absolutely be re-

jected. The first two grades are an

innovation, the third was created by

Act 222 of the 1913 session of the

state legislature.



Standardization of any product for

marketing purposes has always been a

difficult problem no matter what the

commodity, but the creamery people,

because “of various perplexing angles.

have had an unusual task; Kansas and

Oklahoma have eaCh. attempted to reg-

ulate this by legislation, but at the

best have been only slightly success-

ful. Many other states have tried to

buy cream on a graded basis from

time to time; in fact, the wave has

swept Michigan repeatedly. However,

the fundamental purpose of the Mich-

igan creameries is to improve the qual—

ity of all Michigan cream, and they

are proceeding on the broad basis that

there is room, need and possibility to

accomplish this purpose. The experi-

ence of Kansas goes to show that it is

useless to force upon a people an im-

provement before people are educated

to realize its value. Although the Kan-

sas law is now twelve years old, it has

never been more than only partially

effective. Creamerymanagers, how-

ever, report that it has helped some

in the improvement of quality. Michi-

gan men are profiting by the Kansas

experiment and are starting at_the

other end of the job. They are prefac-

ing education to law. Possibly law will

never be necessary.



In brief, the Michigan plan is this:



Each shipment of eieam is sep-

arated into grades one and two, and

all of grade three rejected. The meth-

od of separating the cream was merely

to place it in divisions in order to give

the buyer practice in the work of judg-

ing and to give the producer an idea

of the kind of cream he was sending.

The association provided cards upon

which were printed “Grade One” and

“Grade fI‘wo.” These cards were plac-





ed on opposite sides of the room‘





where the cream was received and the





buyer was expected to place the cream

01.99911 grade on the side where its

The De Laval Milker is based on two fundamental

- __ principles that govern the milking of a cow for greatest

11- f Wm production:

_ (l) .85 %. of s1 cow’s milk is made during milk-

.1 1 «t1 "m-

411,,0‘413.’ 1' (2) Unless milking is pleasing to a cow, the great-

est amount of milk will not be made.

. The organs of a cow which make milk are so sensi-

, tive, and the milk is made in such a short time, that the





way milking is done greatly influences the production.





The De Laval Nlilker operates in a manner most

pleasmg to a cow and therefore the organs which make

milk are stimulated to greatest production. lts action is

gentle, uniform, cannot be changed, and anyone can oper-

ate it. .The fact that it usually increases production over

hand milking, is the best evidence that it pleases the cow.





The extra milk your cows will give and the saving in

time will soon pay for a De Laval Milker. It is a better

way of milking. Write for complete information.

RAILROAD FENCES.





 





Can you inform me whether or not

to keep up their fences in the state of





Michigan?—~E. R.



Compiled Laws of 1915 section 8304,

1equires every railroad company oper-

ating a 1ailroad company in Michigan

to maintain a fence foul and a half

feet high on each side of the right of

way, and makes it liable for all dam-

ages resulting from failure to maintain

such fences. The iflailload commission

fonnerly had juiisdiction of enfo1cing

these legulations; but by the act of

1919, N0. 419, the Michigan Public

Utilities Commission was created and

given jurisdiction formerly exercised

by the railroad commisison. Complaint

to the Michigan Public Utilities Com-

RIGHTS 0N SHORES OF GREAT

LAKES.





Can land owners along Lake Huron

hold the beach and keep the public

from using the gravel?——D. V.



The shore owner owns to the mean-

der line made by the United States

survey, including access to the water

for navigation, etc. The land under

the water belongs to the state. Persons

taking sand or gravel from above the

water‘s edge are liable in damages to

the owner of the shore. Those taking

sand or gravel from below the water

line are liable only to the state, un-

less they undermine the shore or go

upon private property to get Into the

water.—J. R. R.





OUSTING TENANTS.





Will you tell me how I shall proceed

to get rid of undesirable tenants. They

have failed to pay the rent which, ac-

cording to agreement, was to be in ad-

vance. I have given them a written

notice to vacate. Please in101m me

how to get them out lawfully ~—Reade1





When the tenant’s lent becomes ov-

erdue and he has neglected for seven

days after a written demand to deliver

possession or pay the rent, so due, the

lessor may file a complaint with a cir-

cuit court commissioner or a justice of

the peace and have a summons issued,

returnable in not less than three, nor

more than six days from issuing of it,

and served at least two days before

the time of appearance notifying the

tenant to appear bef01e a justice of

the peace 01 commissionei and show

cause, if any, Why he should not be

evicted. Upon the hearing the justice

or commissioner determines the ques-

tions of fact and assesses the amount

of the rent past due, and unless that

is paid within five days after the judg—

ment a writ of restitution may be is-

sued to oust the tenant and restore

possession to the lessor. Ordinarily a

cause for adjournment may be shown,

wherefore a little additional time will

be required—J. R. R.



DlSCOLORED POTATOES FOR



SEED.





My potatoes have black streaks

through them. What is the cause of

this? Would these potatoes be suit-

able for seed? Is there anyway these

potatoes could be treated for seed?



READER.





The trouble is black heart, a trouble





which has arisen because of improper





storage, either in pit or cellar. Given

conditions of scanty aeration and warm

temperature, potatoes will show this

type of breakdown. It is in essence





an asphyxiation trouble. The warm,

temperature testers engages





breakdown of the cells occurs. 'Last

fall in the Mibhigan Farmer the writer

urged aeration for storage pits of tu-

bers. In general we have failed to re-

alize that even temperature but slight-

ly above room temperature would

with scanty oxygen supply bring about

the black heart.



Black heart is also a trouble develop-

ing in potatoes shipped in stove heat-

ed cars. Tubers near the stove are

often found to be very black within.

Such tubers do not give as good germ-

ination as normal tubers. I would not

advise using any tubers with flesh dis-

coloration for seed. There is no treat~

ment for the trouble, except prevention

by removing the causes—G. H. C.





'WIREWORMS' IN POTATOES.





Can we use formaldehyde strong

enough on cut seed potatoes to kill

any wireworms hidden in‘the set? Is

there danger of the drug being strong:

enough to damage the sets?





No.' The source of wireworms, Pro-

fessor Pettit states, is chiefly the soil,

from which they must be starved out.

The few, if any, on the seed tubers

would not be affected by treatment.

The strength advised, one pint of for-

maldehyde to thirty gallons of water

for thirty minutes, is about as strong

as can be safely used on potatoes.

Slight deviation of a. gallon 01' twoo

makes no difference. Formaldehyde

treatment of tubers controls scab com-

pletely where clean seed is used and

the treated seed is planted on soil

which tends to become acid—that. is,

soil which is not infested with the scab

germs. The treatment also lessens

black leg. It will not do more than

handle these two diseases. Where for-

maldehyde is used, we advise close

sorting to remove black scurf. If the

farmer does not wish to sort out, black

scurf after treatment, then he should

use corrosive sub'limate, four ounces to

thirty gallons, for thirty minutes. This

solution is poison and one ounce of

chemical must be added to the treating

solution after each batch is dipped in

order to maintain the strength—G. C.





CORN VARIETlESt





What is —the difference between Wis~

consin No. 12, Golden Glow and Early

Golden Glow corn ?——W. E. B.





The Golden Glow variety of corn,

which originated in ‘ Wisconsin, has

been widely ’distributtd throughout

that state, and of late years has prov-

en well adapted to many Michigan 10-

calities, particularly northern sections.



The larger type of Golden Glow is

adapted to central and southern Mich-

igan. The Wisconsin No. 12 is an ear"

lier selection and adapted to north«

central Michigan, the upper part of,

the lower peninsula,, and part of Me

nominee county. The Wisconsin NO.

25 is a still earlier strain, adapted to

the farthest north corn regions of the

upper peninsula and" to Presque Isle

and Alpena counties—J. F. C.





LAME‘CHICK.





One of our founday-old chicks has

become lame in one leg, and has a

black spot on the knee which is spread-

ing above the joint. What is the cause

and cure?—P. L.





I know of no specific disease that

could cause the black spot on the joint

of the chick. It is probably due to

some injury which has cauSed (a blood

clot to form. It may be absorbed and

the lameness disappear. Chicks are

f1 equently lamed by being stepped on 1

or kicked by live stack

crop to be grown year after year on

the same soil. The best authority I

can find states that a five- or six-year

rotation is much to be preferred to a

short three-year rotation.





Cost of Growing Peas Per Acre.

In the following estimate I am gov-





I got on my farm and I have tried to

estimate this cost as fairly as possible:





 





Plowing . . . . . . . ................ $ 5.00

Fitting ....... 4.00

Sowing ............. . ....... . . . . 1.00

Fertilizer ....... . . . .. . . . . . . 3.50

Rent of land ....... 6.00

Lime ........................... 5.00

Harvesting ............... . . . . 2.00

Hauling to viner ................ 5.00

Hauling shelled peas ........... 1.50

Four bushels seed peas at $3. . . .. 12.

Total ........................ $45.00

Income.

Two tons pea vine silage ........ $10.00





Fifteen hundred pounds peas at





two and a half cents .......... 37.50





Total ........................ $47.50



This is entirely too close a margin

between profit and loss to make the

farmer very enthusiastic about grow-

ing peas. Of course, some years you

can get a yield of 2,000 pounds per

acre and once in a while 2,500 pounds,

and possibly 3,000 pounds, but as many

years you will get only 1,200 or 1,000

and even less. .



A late spring seldom is a good year

for peas. They should be planted ear-

ly—the earlier the better. Sometimes

bad hot weather prevents harvesting

on time. One year we lost the crop

on one field from this cause. Of

course, they were harvested as ripe

peas, but the returns were very unsat-

isfactory. If weather conditions are

just right there is liable to be loss

from the green aphids. Two years we

lost heavily from this insect. One year

our peas were planted quite early and

a prolonged period of cold weather

followed, with the result that much of

the seed rotted, weeds got a start and

the crop was almost a failure.



Value in Rotation.



Some credit should be given the pea

crop from the fact that the ground af-

ter producing peas is easily and cheap-

ly prepared for wheat. If one can

spare the time at that busy season of

the Year, to disk the land at once it is

not necessary to plow and the land is

in practically as good shape as a sum-

mer fallow. Then, too, I am sure that

wheat yields a little bit" better on pea

ground than after any other crop. But

on the other hand, the pea crOp is ex-

acting when it comes to harvesting.

The early ones, especially, nearly al-

ways mature at the time when the

farmer’s attention should be given to

harvesting clover hay, etc. This loss

on other crops may probably offset any

gain to be derived from growing cheap

wheat following the pea crop.



Of course, I don’t deny that other

crops are affected by the season, by

insects, etc., as well as peas. The

farmer often has partial failures and

sometimes complete failures from ev-

ery crop he grows. The farmer takes

a big risk on every crop he plants and

on the average of all crops, he doesn’t

get pay for his labor and\decent inter-

est on his investment, to say nothing

about pay for managerial supervision.

. If all -:crops were good as a rule, even

at average prices, farming as a busi-

ness would notvbe so bad, but the av:

erage crop is notprofitable. ,. ,

Even the farmer, from a spirit of pride,

tries to cover the facts and thus the

profits in farming.





chewmo SEED PEAS PROFIT-

, ABLE.-





 





. N average of twenty-four and three-





fourths bushels of seed per acre, \





worth $74 at'contract price of $3.00 per

bushel was the '.yield the past year

from the seven and a half acres grown

by' Colin Green, of Delta county, Mich-

igan. ' ' '



The part of Delta county, known as

the Fayette Peninsula seems to be es~

peciaily adapted for the growing of

seed peas. The soil for the most, part

is a heavy clay loam underlaid with

solid limestone. The natural drainage

is very good.



Mr. Green, whose farm consists. of

forty acres of this kind of soil, also

grows hay, oats, and potatoes as cash

crops, but for amount of land and la-

bor, the Alaska peas are the most prof:

itable crop. The peas are grown on

contract for one of the big seed com.

panies who make a specialty of fur-

nishing seed to the big canneries.



Thorough preparation of the soil is

the main thing in Mr. Green’s system

of growing. The ground is plowed in

the spring to a depth of seven inches

and is harrowed eight times with a.

disc harrow. The peas are drilled in.

The past year they were planted on

the ninth of May and harvested Aug-

ust 1. A pea harvester is usually used

for the crop but the particular field

used last year was too rough and they

were cut with a scythe. The price re-

ceived is for the peas delivered at the

dock six miles fmm the farm. g



Usually two hundred pounds per

acre of a good commercial fertilizer

heavy with potash is used, but the

ground used last year had been used

for a pasture for a number of years

and so no fertilizer was applied.



H. L. SSPOONER.





 





GARDEN NOTES.



Time now to sow seeds of hardy an-

nual flowering plants.



It is not too late to start celery for

the late crop. Seed may be sown in

well-prepared out-door seed-beds. Make

the soil fine. cover the seed very light-

ly, and keep the soil moist.



The common varieties of spinach go

to seed quickly in warm weather. If





 





you are fond of this vegetable, try New .





Zealand. This variety grows all sum-

mer and repeated pickings may be

made from the same plants, only the

tender growing tips being used.



Try plantings of sweet corn and wax

beans now. There is still danger of

frost, but if the planting is lost, re-

plant. The cost of seed is of minor

consideration. Don’t plant Lima beans

until the weather is settled and the

soil is quite warm, otherwise the seed

will rot. Henderson’s Bush Lima is the

most dependable variety to grow in

Michigan.



It is a mistake to start an asparagus

bed from old plants. Only one- or two-

yearLold seedling plants should be

used. Set" the plants eighteen inches

apart in, rows spaced three or four

feet apart. Always set the plants deep.

The crown of the plant should be at





least six inches below the 'nOrmal' level





of the ' soil.

FARM BUREAU HEADQUARTERS

AT ESCANABA.





T has been definitely decided that

the upper peninsula office of the





Michigan State Farm Bureau is to be '





located at Escanaba and not at Mar-

quette. A meeting to determine the



-. question was held at the court house,

Marquette, at which representatives of

the extension department of the Mich-

igan Agricultural College, county

agents from the upper peninsula, and

delegates from the county farm bu-

reaus were 'present. Before a vote was

taken, there was a discussion of the

pros and cons of the proposal, opened

by the county agents present.



The farm bureau delegates present

represented the counties of Baraga,

‘Delta, Dickinson, Gogebic, Iron, Me-

nominee, Marquette and Schoolcraft.

The selection of the location of the

branch. office was referred to these del-

egates.



One vote was allowed for each five

hundred members or major portion

thereof. On this basis, Escanaba won

the vote by seven to three. The selec-

tion of a manager for the office and

the building was left to a committee

consisting of Messrs. Brody, Large and

Depue.





ROAD COSTS IN CLQXERLAND.





 





IN 1917 the cost of maintenance on



earth roads in Alger county was

$257.per mile, according to The Clover-

'land Farmer of Munising, while in 1920

the cost was $347—a thirty-five per

cent increase. The cost on the county's

macadam roads was $434 per mile, as

against $490—t‘11e average cost on all

macadam roads in the state. Kickers

are invited to come forward and re-

duce costs, if they know how. Alger





county, unlike many upper peninsula‘





counties, must import rock from out-

side its borders. It brought in lime-

stone from the Fiborn quarry to the





eastward at a cost of $2.25 per ton, or ‘





$9,000 per mile for the rock used in

road work, It compares this cost with

that of stamp-sand construction in Bar-

aga county, at. $12,640 per mile and the

surface-treated roads of Escanaba and





Manistique which cost $17,288 per;

mile. Chippewa and Mackinac county ’





grading cost $8,080 per mile, it is stat-

ed. Delta county’s sixteen-foot Class

E (macadam) cost $14,373 per mile,

and the same work cost in Chippewa

county $20,387 per mile. It was nearly

136,000 less than this in Alger, it is

pointed out. Marquette county, which

has some of the .best roads in Class E

in the state expended on it last year

$24,540 per mile. Mackinac county’s

Class C roads cost $11,889, while Me-

nominee counly’s Class B sixteen-foot

gravel cost $15,713 per mile.



This is a time of busy preparation

for road building throughout the upper

peninsula. Bids are being placed and

plans laid. Schoolcrat‘t county is erect-

ing a rock-crusher east of Blaney on

the main trunk line where it connects

with the Mackinac county road.

not an overstatement’ of fact may be





- proved by a glance at Europe.





What are the fruits of the Great

War? Ten millions of men dead. Some





' put it higher than that, some say nine





millions. But ten is a round number

easily remembered. And the number

needs to be Iemembered when you me

called on to listen to jingo talk. France

alone lost 1,750,000 in the wal. If the

United States had lost as many men

proportionately as France, she would

have lost 4,780,000, or more than we

had bearing arms. It is ninety-three

times as many as we did lose. Can

anyone picture what that means to

Europe? Added to this, is the decreas-

ed baby crop.





HE world is short ten million bab-



ies. France is minus one and a.

half millions, Britain one million, Bel-

gium three hundred and fifty thou-

sand, and so on. Thousands have died

since the war, from malnutrition. It

is not difficult to see what this means.

It means that in two or three years

there will be ten millions of five-year-

olds short in the schools of Europe.

It means that in a few years there will

be lacking ten millions of the whoop

in factories, mothers, doctors, educat-

ors, publicists—the brains of young Eu-

best that die in war. Add to this the

fact that the birth-rate will continue

to be short for years. This is serious.

It means that it is possible the leader-

ship of the World may have passed out

of the hands of the white race. (it is

said that there was talk among the

Japanese and Chinese during the war

that the white race was slaughtering

itself, and that the yellow race would

have its chance now).-



Perhaps it is the design of God for

leadership to pass out of the hands of

the White race. If so, the white man

has brought it on himself. A lowered

birth rate is always serious for any

people. In .1860, France’s population

was equal to Germany's. But when

the war began, Germany had a p'eople

of sixty-five millions to France’s thir-

ty-nine millions. War is the bride of

disease. Millions did not die of

Wounds, but of disease. Tuberculosis,

kept in check by science in times of

peace, raises its serpent head and be-

gins the search for victims. It docs

not have to go far. Typhus carries off

thousands. The influenza alone tool:

off nearly a million Italians. Look at

the war debts. Will they ever be paid ?

No one knows. The United States is

in the best financial condition of any

of the warring powers, yet our debt

according to Senator Spencer, is forty

billions. Our annual federal budget,

I believe, is somewhere around six bil-

lions. The allied powers have a debt

of one hundred billions. Germany

writhes, twists and makes a wry face

and says she cannot pay.





OW in all that is said here it is



not intended to say that the Unit-

ed States should not have entered the

war. We should have entered. We did

enter. Perhaps we should have enter-

cd sooner than we did. There was :1

monster at large and he had-to be laid

low. But that does not, mean that we

should forget it, and permit more, wars

to overwhelm us. And if future wars

come they will overwhelm us. They

will annihilate the best. in life. \Ve

should be alert now to forestall if pos-

sible, future war. When war has been

declared and the fighting fever has

seized a nation, it. is too late. As well

try to withstand a blizzard. The mood

is on and there is no quelling it. The

time to talk about war, and study war

and expose the folly and fury of war,

is now,



It may sound like radicalism and

rashness to say that wars are caused

to a very large extent by trade. But

such is the fact. David Jayne Hill,

former ambassador of the United

States to Switzerland and an author-

ity on international law, says: “Mod-

ern wars are primarily trade wars.

Modern armies are not maintained for

the purpose of ruthlessly taking human

life or of covering rulers with glory.

Many quotations from eminent

authbrities along this line could be

made. Brailsfordin “The War of Steel

and Gold," says that the profit on a

dreadnaught is a million and a quarter

of dollars, and that was said when

these ships did not cost over half what

they do now. :_More than once it has

happened that wealthy investors have

placed large sums in mines or other

speculations in foreign'lands. While

exploiting the mines or whatever their

investment was tied up with, they have

gotten into trouble with the native peo-

ernment for help. SOldiers have been

sent and have lost their lives fighting

a little thinking on our own account.

W ' n '

(Lontmued fiom last week). looking toward the beacon star—





Moreland followed Littleford into

the best room. Littleford put the lamp

beside the worn leatherbound Bible on

the table, and they sat down. They

looked steadily at each other, and Dale.

saw plainly that both were ill at ease.

Surely, thought Moreland, he had done

a great deal when he had come into his

old enemy’s house. Surely, thought

Littleford, he had done a great deal

when he had asked John Moreland

into his home.



Came a silence that was heavy. Each

Was depending upon the other to make

the advance. The tw0 clansmen stared

at each other more and more sharply,

and soon shadows of bitterness began

to creep into their eyes.



‘Then Major Bradley, guest of Ben

Littleford, strode into the room with

a patrician and soldierly air, and he

understood the situation perfectly.



“Gentlemen,” he urged, “shake hands

and be friends.”



They didn’t. Neither seemed to have

heard the major. It angered Bill Dale.

His knowledge of these feudists, these

grown-up children, was not yet very

thorough. He went to his feet. John





, Moreland, too, arose.





“We’d as well go, hadn't we?” Dale

clipped, and there was disgust in his

voice. -



“I reckon We had,” agreed Moreland.



They walked out of the cabin, leav-¢

ing Major Bradley and Ben Littlet‘ord

gazing silently after them. At the gate

Dale caught John Moreland’s sleeve

and halted him. ,



“Why 'on earth,” he demanded,

“didn’t you make the break?”



“Bill Dale, I went into his house!”



Dale put his hands on one of the

weatherbeatenl gateposts and looked

over to where a bright star burned like

a beacon light above the pine-fringed

crest of David Moreland’s Mountain.

He continued to look at the star, his

face grey, until it glimmered. ‘



Then he began to blame himself; he

-was the hope of a benighted people;





' andihe had foolishly lost his temper at





sternum, in rent! He wondered wheth~





, tyned .. :





 





The voice of Ben Littleford came to

them plainly because the night was so

very still; he was reading from the

Gospel according to Saint Mark, prep-

aratory to his bedtime prayer. The

two at the gate listened intently. The

way in which the illiterate giant stum-

bled over the simplest words was pit-

iful.





The hillman closed the Good Book

and placed it on the table beside him.

There was the low shuffling of feet as

half a dozen persons knelt at their

chairs.‘ The prayer which followed

was much like John Moreland’s own

bedtime prayer; it had in it less of

supplication than of thanksgiving.



And in the tail of it there were

words that were like bullets to the

mountaineer at the gate





“ Bless the good man who is with

us here tonight, and all 0’ our kin-

folks, and all 0’ our friends, and all 0’

our inemies—and ’specially the More-

lands. Aymen!”



Dale’s hand came down hard on

John Moreland’s shoulder. '



“You told me he wouldn’t do it!”





The old clan leader hung his head,

like a man suddenly broken. He re-

plied not a word; he seemed amazed

into speechlessness. He had been

wrong in his estimate of Ben Little-

ford; he had lied about a man who had

just asked the good Almighty to bless

him. John Moreland choked a little

and started toward the cabin. He walk~

ed as though half blind across the

porch, and entered without knocking,

and went in to Ben Littleford with his

right hand outstretched.



“Le’s begin anew,” he said huskily.

“Le’s be friends, yore people and my

people, you and me!”



Littleford arose and groped for his





 





 





old-time enemy’s hand, found it and-





grasped it in both his own.



“You’re better ’an I am, John More-

land,” he said—“you’re a darned sight

better ’an I am.”



When Dale 'left them they were

talking owr a great bear-hunt that

HE woman who has a large-fam-



ily to keep in whole stockings is



sure to be interested in ways of

making footgear last the longest. Pre-

vention is better than cure, and the

thrifty woman avoids mending as long

as she can by a few simple rules, and

then goes at the task when it must be

done, in a business-like way that gets

the best results.



Prevention of stocking darning con-

sists, primarily, in washing the hose

more frequently than is usual. It may

look like saving to some to let the fam-

ily go with one pair of hose per mem-

ber each week, but it is waste of the

most extravagant order. Frequent

ing reinforce it strongly and smoothly

with cotton woven in and out and it

will.last much longer than to wait for

the break to come. Many dawn the

heels and toes of new stockings, and

it certainly pays to do so for children.

Knee protectors worn at home by small

boys and girls save much darning, and

also saves the stockings which are

sure to be torn in the most conspicu-

ous place. These protectors can be

made from cloth, old stockings, soft

pieces of leather, or can be purchased

ready made.



The knee protector illustrated was

made from the tops of old brawn shoes,

which necessitated making in two

washing allows the worn places to

thicken up, changes the places where

the rubbing comes and saves in many

ways, besides being more sanitary. A

pair of fresh stockings daily in hot

weather and two or three pairs per

week in cold weather will make .more

washing, it is true, but the stockings

wear longer and have to be mended

less frequently. Many a case Of foot

trouble can be traced to unclean stock-

ings. Nails cut frequently and smooth-

ly save stockings, as a ragged nail

quickly goes through the toeof the

stocking. Well-fitting shoes with good

soles also save darning.



But when holes appear they must be

darned—never mended With. clumsy

patches that invite foot .trouble. -A

smooth, light-colored darner, to stretch

the hole over, and cottorr of the same

weight as the stockings will result in

a smooth, even darn that will not hurt

even a baby’s foot; while a patch will

cause agony on account of the thick

seams. Many a woman considers her-





self economical because she never buys





darning cottongbut slaps on a clumsy

patch cut from a wornout stocking;

but she has failed to consider the im-

portance of feet. A shoe expert who

fits hundreds of people yearly With

special—and therefore expensive—

shoes says that much of the trouble





' is caused by ill-fitting stockings,'patch-





ed stockings, stockings too small and

stockings too large. The woman who

goes about the house in horrible old

shoes and stockings patched Iandre-

pieces instead of one, as neither side





of the upper was large enough to ac—

commodate the pattern. If a protector

is made from a single piece of mate-

rial, draw 'the edges of the. gore to-

gether and stitch to a stout strip of

cloth or tape on the under side. Bind

with tape, and sew on elastic at the

top and botton to fasten around lég.



Heel protectors are worn by some

men fOr the same purpose, while oth-

ers save the wornout socks and put on

two pairs when ditching or doing some

dirty work, then throwing them away

when the work is done.





It pays to save in every way possi-

ble, for darning will always be the bug-

bear for busy women. Save all the

Old stOckings and let the children play

in them. Use new feet for the good

stocking legs when low shoes are not





‘worn, and encourage every member of





the family to take off promptly any

stocking that develops a hole no mat-

ter whether clean or soiled. A stitch

in time saves more thaninine in darn-

ing, and the thrifty woman takes that

stitch in time. “‘ ’

OR natural beauty and pleasing

F color effects it is hard to beat some



of the old-fashioned flower gardens

made up of annual plants.



The most permanent and satisfying

results are obtained with an open lawn

as a foundation, with trees making a

frame for the house and giving a grate-

ful shade, accompanied by shrubs and

permanent flowers to round off the cor-

ners. When permanent planting, espe-

cially shrubbery beds, are newly set

they often look thin and ragged, and

interplantings of annuals will fill in

sunflowers. The castor bean is valu-

able because it is one of the few annu-

als which can be used to produce a

semi-tropical effect. It grows rapidly,

attains large size, and has a rich, lux-

uriant foliage ranging in color from

green to deep bronze. The cosmos is

a vigorous, tall-growing plant, notable

for its bright, dainty blossoms which

appear in the fall. There are a large

number of annual plants of intermedi—

ate type. Some of the taller of these

that grow three or more feet high are

the basket flower, feather cockscomb,





 





the otherwise bare spaces with attrac-

tive' foliage and brightly colored

floWers.



Most annual plants are valuable for

supplying cut flowers for indoor decor-

ation. When grown for this purpose

they should be given ample Space for

the development of quantity and qual-

ity blossoms. The tall-growing, full-

foliage plants, like the tall castor

beans and sunflowers, when massed

against buildings, fences, or in front of

other obstructive objecrs serve as at-

tractive and efficient screens. Lower-

growing plants when massed against

a background of taller-growing annuals

or shrubs, either against buildings or

on borders, are more effective than

when used in beds on the lawn or

when planted in formal designs.





Because annual plants make a quick

growth they must be provided with

good growing conditions. The soil

should be Well supplied with available

plant food, and should be reasonably

retentive of moisture, though well

drained. Though many kinds of annual

flowering plants, particularly those of

the more hardy classes, can be, grown

successfully in a variety of soils, a

rich loam soil is necessary in order

that they produce the maximum num»

ber of blosoms of the richest colors. If

the soil is thin and poor, a bed two

feet deep can be excavated and filled

with soil especially prepared for the

plants. The ideal soil for this purpose

can be made from blue-grass sod from

a rather heavy clay loam rotted for a

year, mixed with equal parts of well-

rotted manure, leaf mold and sand.



The young seedlings which are start-

ed in plant beds and which are to be

grown for their bloom, should be trans-

planted as soon as the first true leaves

are formed. For small, rather slow-

growing plants, such as pansies, one

inch apart in the transplanted bed will

afford ample room. With most plants

two inches each way will be the best,

but with robust growing plants, like

the castor bean, four inches will not

be too much. With many plants, par-

ticularly vigorous-growing varieties, it

is best to’plant the Seeds directly in

pots‘or cans so that they can be trans—

planted in the open without disturbing

the roots of the young seedlings.

Transplanting has a tendency to make

the plants stocky and'provides oppor-

tunities for the development of an ex-

‘tensive root system.

CHAPTER Xll.

The Barbarian Princess Goes Home.





vISS ELIZABETH LITTLEFORD

M beheld an interesting sight when

she alighted from a northbound

afternoon train at the Halfway Switch.

Just below the long siding a shorter

siding had been put in—the railway

company‘had been hastened, no doubt,

by the great influence of old Newton

Wheatley—and from it had been un-

loaded a small geared locomotive, a

dozen or so of little coal cars opening

at the bottom, and miles of light steel

rails with kegs of spikes for them.

Out toward home a crew of men

worked like bees at the building of a

trestle of round timbers that had been

cut from the nearby woods; she at

once recognized these men as More-

lands and Littlefords, and she knew it

meant peace! They di \n’t recognize

her, because of the distance and the

clothing she wore, and because they

were too busy to pay any particular at-

tention to her.





Farther out toward Doe River an-

other crew of men was at work clear-

ing the way for the little narrowguage.

She heard the sounds of the axe and

the saw, the hammer and the steel,

and once there came to her ears the

great, dull roar of exploding dynamite

as a cliff was blown clear of its foun-

dations.



Miss Elizabeth Littleford smiled hap-

pily. And she had not been happy for

a long time. Patricia McLaurin, with

whom she had been staying, had been

And a' hen that is not eating a balanc-

ed ration for egg production may molt

sooner than a hen that is properly fed.

But when a hen on a balanced ration

the best of your hens will be reproduc-

Promoter, Reg. No. 815253, Senior two- -year- -old bull owned by C. A.





Allen, of Montcalm county, who is fourteen years old.





This bull took





first premium and championship at the Greenville County Fair in 1920,





in the Shmthom class.





Young Allen is an enthusiastic member of the





Boys’ and Girls’ Calf Club. His success with this bull 1nd1cates the value

of father and son cooperation on the farm.

through the fall though her plumage is





ragged.



Septembei is the best month for cull-

ing as the quality of the biids can

easily be determined then. The hens

that have molted in June and July will

be dressed in a new suit of feathers,

thusproving they are early molters

and not high egg producers. In gen-

eral the later the hen molts the greater

her annual egg production. The width

between the pelvic bones is of import

ance in selecting layers. lt‘ there is

room for three fingers the hen is apt

to be a fair layer. A four-finger space

denotes a very good hen.



In the good layer the vent will be

white, large and moist. In the poor

layer it is yellow, small and dry. The

good layer has white ear rings while

in the poor layer they are yellow. The

same is true of the ear lobe and

shanks. The comb of the good layer

is plump and bright while the poor

layer has a shrunken comb that is

dull. The gdod layer’s eye is bright

and bulging while the poor layer’s eye

is flat and dull. .



The head of the hen is coming to be

of more importance in culling. A

heavy-laying hen is apt to be active

and brighter than the drone. Her head

will be more refined, with an oval eye

and a jaw that is not too thick and

beefy. The best layers are not the

squawky sort of hens that are unpleas-

ant to handle but rather

type of bird that sings and talks to

the owner while scratching forfeed.



The beginner must not expect too

much from a flock of hens at the start.

Hens that lay two hundred eggs per





. year are really rather scarce and un-





der farm conditions the hens that pro-





‘ duce one hundred and tWenty to one

few culls you learn the kind of birds

that are classed as culls. Nothing

teaches practical poultry points like

the actual handling of the stock.





M. A. 0. BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUB

SCHOLARSHIP.





 





HROUGH the boys’ and girls’ club



scholarship plan adopted by the

state board of agriculture two years

ago, more than thirty Michigan young

folk will enter M. A. C. next winter as

short-course students.



In each county the boy 01' girl ad-

judged the champion for all-round club

work is eligible to the scholarship. Up

until the present time only two coun-

ties have taken advantage of the plan.

With nearly half falling into line this

year, it is expected that in the near

future every county in Michigan will

be represented.



Besides the county winners, twenty-





two state champions in particular lines-





of club work will enter M. A. C. next

fall as regular students. These awards

were made several weeks ago.



Following is the list of county cham-

pions, as announced by R. A. Turner,

state club leader:

THE» CLAN WCALL.





(Continued from page 649).

So she hadoom'e back, run awayat

less than a moment's notice—as had

Bill Dale before her, and how good it

seemed to be at home! She would





have gone to see the men, had it not‘





been that She feared She would be a

bother.

'There was another interesting sight





'when she had reached the crest of





David Moreland’s Mountain. In the up-

per end of the broad valley, midway

between the “settlement” and the op-

ening of the Moreland coal vein, two

large buildings were well along in their

cou1se of construction



She put down her bundle of clothing,

shaded her eyes with her hand, and

tried to find Bill Dale among the build-

ers. But the distance was too great;

a. man down there was but a mere

speck. Before she went on, she re-

moved her shoes and stockings. It was

hard for Babe Littleford to become ac-

customed to wearing useless shoes and

stockings in warm weather!





When she had reached the foot of

the mountain, she didn’t take the by-

path her people had been wont to use

in order that they might avoid contact

with the Morelands. There was no

need of avoiding contact with the

Morelands now, thank goodness!





Then a voice hailed her from the.

laurels out at her right, the v01ce she





loved better than any other——

“Hello, Miss Littleford!”





Babe stopped and faced him, and she

blushed furiously when she saw him.

He was coming rapidly toward her

with his hat in his hand, and his brown

hair was rumpled and damp with per-

spiration. She saw that he was in

boots and corduroys, the clothing of a

timberjack, and he looked bigger in

them; about his waist there was a

cartridge-belt, .from which hung a big

and dependable-looking revolver in a

leathern holster.



“Hello, Mister Dale!” she mimicked.



He shook her hand, then he dropped

to a moss-obvered log that lay beside

the narrow trail.





“Sit down here beside me,” he said;

and he added: “I’ve been going hard





.all day, and I’m pretty tired.”





She let fall her bundle and her shoes

and stockings, and obeyed.



“Why did you come back, Babe?” he

asked as though he were displeased.



“ ’Cause,” she answered and she cor-

rected herself quickly, ”I mean be-

cause.”



‘ “No reason whatever,” smiled Dale.



“Well,” and her clear brown eyes

looked at him. squarely, “I come back

because yore mother .she said I would

be a burden to Mis’ McLaurin, that’s

Why.” ‘



“Mrs. McLaurin,” said Dale,

Mis’ McLaurinfl



“A burden to Mrs. McLaurin, and

_I ain't a—goin’ to be a burden to no-

body!” vehemently. In a softer voice,

she went on. “Mrs. McLaurin and her

husband and her folks has done made

War on Hawks

By G. K. Riley





HEN fighting the hawk menace



the pdultryman knows that there

can be no peace without victory. What

does it profit the poultryman to turn a

perfectly good egg into a chick, .feed

.it high-priced scratch feed and then

watch the chick sail off over the,_gar-

den fence securely trapped in the tal-

ons ot‘ a hawk. The poultryman can

in a measure, appreciate the helpless

feeling of a. European farmer watch-

ing his cattle being bombed. from the

sky by an enemy aviator.



The skill in protecting men and mu-

nitions from air raids suggests a pro-

tection from hawks. Why not camou-

flage? If the hawk does not see the

chicks there will be on raids on the

flock. Possibly one of the reasons for

the popularity of the Barred ‘Rock on

the farm is the fact that the young

stock are dark, with occasional blotch-

es of white. As they grow older the

black and white bars appear. Both

combinations of color seem to fade

into the landscape and the birds are

visible for only a short distance. In

our expzrience Barred Rocks have suf-

fered much less from the depredations

of hawks than White Leghorns which

can be picked out against the range

for a long distance. The same might

be true of any of the darger breeds as

compared with the white breeds.



In raising white breeds they can be

protected in the same manner, only

the camouflage must be furnished by

the poultryman. In other words, shel-

ters must be provided to enable the

chicks to hide from haw'ks. Raspber-

ries form a dense shade and if the

chicks are allowed to range among the

heavily leafed canes, they Will be fair-

ly Well protected from the attacks of

hawks. Evergreens, sunflowers, and

rows of corn will help to keep hawks

from seeing the chicks.



Sometimes steel traps on fence posts

will catch hawks. A good' watch dog

can be trained to start for hawks

whenever they swoop down upon the

range. A shot gun will frighten them

and sometimes score a hit, but no

farmer can keep enough shot guns

loaded to produce an anti-hawk bar-

rage whenever these birds of prey ap-

proach the poultry range. Bright piec-

es of metal or pieces of broken mirror

swinging from a. pole will sometimes

frighten them, and some breeders have

successfully protected their chicks by

suspending bits of paper to long

strings running across the yard.



Undoubtedly camouflage is the best

method of saving the chicks. Give the

young birds a shaded range and they

are not visible for a long distance from

the farm. This Will increase the diffi-

culty of the hawk seeing the chick and

decrease the number of visits that he

will make to the farm.





HENS WITH TUBERCULOSIS.





I have been losing my hens lately.

The first symptoms are a. diarrhea,

then they gradually get so thin they

cannot walk, and finally die. I opened

one hen and found the liver and heart





liver was a sort of purplish white col-

or and covered with yellow spots or

ulcers. In the same flock there are

some hens with red combs, fat, and

apparently healthy. Their feed con-

sists of corn and oats. They have free

range. P. S.



Undoubtedly the

GROVELAND CENTER CHILDREN

DRINK‘ MILK.



HE children of the Groveland Cen—‘

. ter school have been gaining in

Weight during the last four weeks. On

Monday, March 14, each child started

taking a pint10f milk a day at school.

They were given one cup in the morn-

ing at recess and one again in the af-

ternoon. There are ten children in the

school, but three were absent due to

As a result of drinking this

milk the seven children gained forty-

nine pounds in four weeks. Under or-

dinary conditions these childrenwould

have gained nine pounds in the same

time, so the results of drinking milk

can be plainly seen.



The milk feeding experiment was put

on as a part of the Oakland county

milk campaign, by the County Farm‘

Bureau. Miss McDonald, the Red Cross

nurse with headquarters at Holly,

weighed these children each week. She

had previously examined them and

found some normal, some under weight

and some suffering from physical de-

fects.



The big jump in gains showed in the

first two weeks of the test when eve

eryone gained. What has been done

in one rural school can be accomplish-

ed in other schools it‘ the mothers

would see to it that the children get

at least one pint of milk per child a

day, and it is better if they can have

a quart. The Red Cross nurses have

determined that one out of every three





they recommend that milk be sent to

school with the child’s lunch, as well

as giving, it to them at home. For

their satisfaction as to results, the

children should be weighed each week

for a few weeks, and watch them grow.





COOPERATIVE NEWS FROM

' BRANCH COUNTY.



HE Union City Cooperative Com-

pany did a business of $22,578.45

in March, with an overhead expense of

More than nine hun-

dred bushels of clover seed were hand-

led during the season. They report po-

tatoes and beans in farmers’ bins with

no market for same. A stockholders’

meeting was recently called to con-

sider increasing the working capital.

The association was fortunate in that

their bins were empty of wheat before

the recent fall in price. ~

The Tri-State Cooperative Associa-

tion at Montgomery, which did a busi-

ness of about $1,000,000 last year, is

now planning on adding to its busi-

ness. They'will pool wool again this

year. Their creamery is making 11,000

pounds of butter a week. The associa-

tion is always in close touch with the

big state movements, their Mr. Kinney

being a member of the dairy commit-

tee of fifteen. They are also closely

allied with the Michigan Live Stock

Shippers’ Association, and are now us-





mended by the federation for live stock

shipments.



Coldwater cooperative association

recently unloaded a car of twenty tons

of sugar bought through the farm bu-

reau. They may purchase another car-

load soon. They are now carrying

limestone in stock so that farmers can

get it on short notice.



By being in touch with the elevator

exchange they recently saved war tax-

es to the amount of $7.00 per ton on

two cars of wheat shipped to Balti-

more for export trade. The freight on

these two minimum carloads of grain

was $247.50. By advancing this and

filing an exemption certificate the

$7.00 saving was made, because the

grain was sold for export—M.

series of attractive letters to be dis-

tributed to the» farmers through the

creameries. Forty of these cream‘eries

have gladly accepted their share of

*the burden and are sharing in the dis-

tribution of literature to their fifty-

thousand cream patrons. From. one-

third to one-fourth of all farmers in

the state who produce cream for sale

have already been reached.



It is believed that on a conservative

basis the present cream betterment

campaign will raise the price of butter-

fat on an average of one cent a pound

in Michigan. The exact difference in

the market price of the two grades of

cream when this system shall go into

effect is difficult to determine.

managers believe the difference will be

only between one and two cents, but

others say the actual value will be

from two to four cents between grades.



The association is not prepared to

say when they will put the new grad-

ing system in operation with regard to

price differential; that depends entire-

ly upon its reception and progress of

the campaign. There are 1,048 cream

buying stations in the state. Before

any degree of success in actual cream

grading can be expected most of the

managers of these stations must un-

derstand how to grade cream and at

least three—fourths of the farmers must

comprehend the value of the new sys—

tem. Anyone can tell the difference

between good and bad cream but it

will take a. great deal of experience in

selecting grades before the cream buy-

ers can become expert and of uniform

judgment on grades that are close to

the line. Even then, it will be neces-

sary for these men to get together a

number of times and compare their

grading so that grade one and grade

two will stand for something very defi-

nite and every cream buyer will be

grading approximately the same.



This standardization of grading

throughout the state has already be-

gun. Upon the request of the Cream-

ery ()wners’ & Managers’ Association,

a four-day short course was held at

the Michigan Agricultural College in

February, which was attended by sev—

enty creamery intake men, field super-

intendents, and buyers. The field sup-

erintendents came so they could in-

struct their intake men. The course

included instruction in the judging of

cream, the relation of quality of cream

to the quality of butter and what con-

stitutes undesirable odors and flavors

in cream. Again, at their meeting on

April 21 at the Detroit Creamery, the

association held a contest in cream

judging and provided score cards upon

which the members could place their

judgment of the quality of a couple of

dozen cans which were lined up for

their inspection.

DAIRY INTERESTS IN rMICHlGAN.





T is estimated that there are now



870,000 dairy cows in Michigan, dis-

tributed on an average .basis of four

cows per farm. In 1920 these cows

produced 3,492,000,000 pounds of milk,

which was valued at $104,760,000.



Dairy establishments in the state for

the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, as

given by the state food and drug de-'

partment license and registration'rec-

ords, were: Creameries, 248;» cheese

factories, sixty-five; condensed milk

ANOTHER cownSTmo ASSOCIA-

‘7 r TION FOR VAN BUREN

' .couurv.





   

 





OR about five years Van Buren



county dairymen have .supported

and maintained a successful cow-test-

ing association. At first it was hard

to keep a sufficient number of dairy-

men interested in the work to the ex-

tent that they would patronize the as-

sociation, but as time passed the value

of the association work to individual

members has become so apparent, that

it is easy to have at all times a full

association.



During the past winter an arrange-

ment has been perfected between the

dairy department of the Michigan Ag-

ricultural College and Mr. Waldron,

dairy extension specialist, who has

charge of, the cow-testing association

work in the state, whereby the asso-

ciation testers make official tests for

dairymen having pure-bred cows, as

well as do the regular association

testing.



Because of the demand on the part

of dairymen in the county for cow-

testing work, official and association

testing, it is not possible for one tester

to do all the work. To give all dairy—

men interested all the service demand-

ed, it is deemed necessary to maintain

two associations in Van Buren county,

beginning as soon as details of organ-

ization can be worked out.



The success which the cow-testing

association work is meeting with is





 





very gratifying to those dairymen ini

the county who early in the history of

the organization had to put up the big.

fight to keep the association in exist-

ence.—M.

‘WHEAT





The estimate upon the winter wheat

crop as 01’ May 1 was 629,287,000 bush--

els. The condition was 88.8 per cent

compared with 79.1 per cent last year

and a ten-year average of 86.8 per

cent. The loss of: acreage during the

winter was 4.6 per cent compared with

a ten-year average abandonment of 11

per cent. The acreage aggregates 36,-

721,000 acres or 2.5 per cent more than

was harvested last year. Crop dam-

age reports have been numerous dur-

ing the last two weeks and consider-

able deterioration is believed to have

taken place since the government’s

figures were obtained from the field.

Drought in the southwest and frost

damage over much wider areas have

been the chief causes. Exporters

made few new sales of wheat abroad

during the past week but crop news,

together with an active cash demand

to fill old sales, and moderate purchas—

es by millers maintained prices most

of the time. If the present situation

continues, our carryover of old wheat

will be extremely small. Also there

will be a strong demand for the first

new wheat marketed. Conditions in

the spring wheat territory are highly

satisfactory with seeding completed

much earlier than last year and rains

received where most needed. The In

ternational Institute of Agriculture es-

timates that there will be a surplus-of

52,000,000 bushels of wheat and rye in

exporting countries at the end of the

crop year. This means a very close

adjustment of supply to demand.

Broomhall estimates that exporting

countries on April 30 had 232,000,000

bushels of wheat available, of which

importing countries would take 150,—

000,000 bushels. This estimate also

points to a tight situation.





CORN





Export clearances of corn have been

limited chiefly by congestion at east-

ern lake ports which prevented a

prompt return of boats for more grain.

The visible supply of corn has been

cut down around 13,000,000 bushels in

three weeks. Corn planting is being

delayed by rains in some sections and

is said to be later than normal in Ok-

lahoma as a result of cold weather.





OATS





The visible supply of oats remains

large in spite of huge deliveries. Ex-

port demand is negligible. Progress

ot‘ the crop is none too favorable and

a decreased acreage is expected in

western Canada on account of abnor-

mally low prices.





FEEDS





Millfeeds advanced slightly, especial-

ly in the southwest during the past

cline in linseed oilmeal seems to have

been checked. Demand is not active

and decided advances not probable.





SEEDS





Little interest is shown in the cash

seed niarkets but fIOSt damage, espe.

has caused an

advance in prices for fall-delivery.

Cash clover seed is still quoted over

$3 higher than October. When and

110w the 1eadjustment between the two

will take place is an important ques-





tion.

BEANS





Beans are a shade higher. Demand is

restricted but elevators are well clean-

ed out and farmers are holding tight

and planting new crops rather than

selling old beans.





WOOL





Demand for wool increased slightly

during the past week but is still far

from brisk. London sales continued

surprisingly strong with Germany,

France and Belgium as well as Amer-

ican buyers in the competition. There

is‘ some buying of fine and fine medium

wools in the west at a range Of 14 to

17 cents. Boston quotations are slight-

ly lower than a week ago.





HAY





Stocks of hay on farms on May 1 are

estimated by the department of agri-

culture at 19,440,000 tons, or 18 per

cent of the crop compared with a five-

year average 61' 11,498,000 tons, or 11.1

per cent, The condition of meadow

lands on May 1 was 91.5 per cent as

compared with a ten-year average of

89.1 and indicates a yield'of 107,784,000

tons compared with 108,232,000 tons

last year. Prices and market condi-

tions remain much the same with little

evidence of an advance in the near





future.

POTATOES





Potato markets have been stronger

during the past week on old stock and

weaker on new stock. Old potatoes

are quoted at around one cent per

while the new

stock has been bringing 31/2@4c, in

consuming markets. Since the old

stock is in good condition as the result

of cool weather in the last few weeks,

it is believed that this differential will

narrow at least as soon as the new

EGGS AND POULTRY





Cold storage holdings of eggs at Chi-

cago, New York, Boston and Philadel-

phia are 2,547,000 cases compared with

1,317,773 cases last year. Dressed

poultry holdings amount to 31,937,995

pounds, compared-with 24,806,493 last

year. Prices show little change com-

pared with last week.



Latest quotations at Detroit were as

follows: Eggs, fiesh current receipts

heavy hens 30@32c; roosters 15@180;

geese 15c; ducks 25c; tu1keys 35c.





BUTTER





Consumptive demand remains highly

satisfactmy but there is some move-

ment of fine lots of butte1_into storage

at New York and Chicago, which was

not construed as an effort merely to

carry over until the market recovered.

Moderate additional declines are ex-

pected to bring storers into the mar-

kets for all that the immediate con-

sumptive demand will not absorb. A

small amount of Danish. butter is re-

ported enroute and offerings have been

made at prices about equal to the New

York market whe’n the duty is paid.

The progress of tariff legislation which

raises the duty 31/20 per pound will

determine the importance of Danish

butter in the June market. Prices for

92—score fresh butter as quoted by the

bureau of markets on'May 16 are as

follows: Chicago 290; New York 300.

At Detroit best creamery in tubs is

quoted at 26%; @270.





CHEESE





After further declines early in the

past. week the market steadied and

closed firm with dealers much more

confident, especially at Chicago. East-

ern markets were- still under some

pressure because of an accumulation

during the preceding week. Active buy-

ing of small lots occurred and a few

la1ge sales were reported Some ex-

port sales weie made f1om New York

and inqui1ies were reported from Chi-

cago Ave1age quality ran high.

Many distributors see no reason for

further changes in the country but the

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.





 





More of the foundations for the ul~

timate reconstruction of agricultural

well-being were laid last week.



The German reparations dispute was

settled, albeit the signatures were ob—

tained by force. The emergency tariff

was passed by the senate with amend-

ments added which made it necessary

to send the bill to conference. Redis-





' count rates in the Minneapolis federal





reserve district were lowered, leaving

only Dallas on a seven per cent basis.

European exchange rates reached new

high levels for, the year. The grain

exchange regulatory bill passed the

lower house of congress. Some auto

manufacturers announced cuts in pric-

es. Attention has been directed to re-

tail prices and the depa1t1nent of com—

merce is to publish lists of proper re-

tail prices n staple goods.



The outlook still points to slow grad-

ual improvement with occasional. pe-

riods of relapse, of secondary liquida-

tion. Even some of the supposed fac-

tors of progress may contain unfavor-

able elements. .The tariff may lead to

retaliation and we are still primarily

an exporting country although our ex-

port balance is gradually shrinking.



Unofficial spokesmen for France sug-

gest that Germany meet the payments

required of her within this year by

floating a loan of $7,500,000,000 in this

country possibly with an allied guar-

antee. Such a loan may help our com-

modity markets if some of the money

is spent heie, but othei effects even

upon the farmer, may not be so grat-

ifying.

cnOP CONDITIONS IN MICHIGAN

ARE EXCELLENTV





HE condition of wheat. rye, hay

and pasture is muchfbetter than

on May 1 last year, and considerably

above the average, according, to the

joint state and federal crop report.

Favorable weather has improved these

crops during April. Live stock is in

generally good condition and health.

Winter Wheat Abandonment Small.

The acreage of ‘wheat that will be

abandoned amounts to only one per

‘cent of the total, leaving‘831,000 acres

to be harvested, or about ninety-four

per cent of that harvested last year.

The winter and spring being warm and

otherwise favorable, loss of acreage





' was probably the least it has been for





many years. The condition is ninety-

two per cent, as compared with ninety

per cent last month, eighty per cent

last year, and eighty-two per cent, the

ten-year average. The rapid growth

made during the month great-1y lessens

the prospect of fly damage.



The amount of wheat marketed at

mills and elevators during the month

of April is estimated at 672,000 bush-

els, leaving a balance of approximately

2,627,000 bushels on farms.



Excellent Outlook for Rye.



The acreage of rye is four per cent

less than that of last year, the esti-

mated area to be harvested amounting

to 634,000 acres. The reports received

show that the condition is ninety-four

per cent, as compared with ninety-two

per cent last month, eighty-nine per

cent last year, and a ten—year average

of eighty-nine per cent.



Large Acreage and Excellent Condi-



tion Of Hay.



The acreage devoted to tame hay is

somewhat larger than in recent years,

being estimated at 2,755,000 acres. The

condition is .unusually good, being

ninety-five per cent, which is eleven

per cent better than one year ago, and

eight per cent above the ten-year aver—

age. Except in small local areas the

condition of seedings is better than

for a number of years. Reports indi-

cate an unusually large amount of





this spring. The condition of pastures

is twenty-four per cent better than on

the same date last year and fourteen

per cent better than the average on

May 1 It is estimated that seventeen

per cent of last year’s crop still re-

mained on farms May 1.

More Plowing and Seeding Done by

May 1 than Normally. f

Notwithstanding the delay to plow-

ing and seeding operations during the

latter half of April, caused by almost

continuous rainy weathe1, the mild

Winter and early spring permitted

more than the usual amount of plow-

ing and seeding being accomplished

by May 1. It is estimated that fifty-

two per cent of the plowing and thirty-

six per cent of sowing and planting»

was finished by the end of April.

Health of Live Stock Good.

The condition of live stock is good.

Feed has been generally plentiful and:

of good quality, the Winter was mild,

and the spring opened early. There





‘ are no prevailing epidemics, state and '





federal authorities having been success-,

ml in confining outbreaks to small

areas throughout the past year, so that:

the mortality has been less than usual.

However, some cold and wet days in.

April, caused heavy losses of young

pigs and lambs in localities.

BOARD MEETING OF OFFICERS OE

MICHIGAN LIVE STOCK

EXCHANGE.





At the annual meeting of the officers

of the Michigan Live Stock Exchange,-

it was voted to have a board meeting

once in two months. The first meet-

ing was held in the manager’s office at

Lansing, Thursday, May 5.



All the officers except one

jects under discussion was the best

and cheapest way of distributing the





were





stock for the terminal commission

house.

Treasurer N. W. Stuart, who has





been engaged to sell this stock, gave

a very favorable report. 'Local asso-

ciations have shown their anxiety for

this house in the only way to make it

a success.



M1. Stuait has belonged to the ex-

change from itsstart and has been a

successful local manager, so is able to

answer questions along this line.



Notwithstanding the fact that Man-

ager Compson has been “enjoying” a

large carbuncle on his arm, he report—

ed a-very good week. Two flourishing

associations joined the exchange, viz.:



Bronson, Branch county, where is lo-

cated one of the busy cooperative as-

sociations of the state, under the man-

agement of R. G. Hoopingarner, deals

in all kinds of fa1m necessities

and ships live stock each week with

plenty of opposition. They expect soon

to ship all the stock from this place.



Climax, Kalamazoo county. A live

association of about one hundred mem-

bers, and good prospects for an in—

crease in membership.



This county is fortunate in having

for its county agent a practical farmer,

R. L. Olds, who is also a farm bureau

worker, and has the interests of the

county well in hand. He is a very

busy man



L. Whitney Watkins called du1ing

the session, and while the1e expressed

his personal interest in the exchange,

also in the terminal commission house.



The meeting adjourned until July 7

Every dollar you save in the cost of raising crops is a dollar

Every extra bushel you get





from using your own time and labor and that of your hired

How Sprywheel shakes down.

crop costs and increases ‘

crop profits

Timely and thorough cultivation

is the first essential to successful

farming and gardening; Farm ex—

pcriment stations have proved that

frequent cultivation right through

the growing season is extremely

profitable—even when this work

is done with hand and wheel hoes.

This is work that Sprywheel does

at one—fifth the cost. Sprywheel

practically eliminates hand hoeing.

It isn’t a substitute for horses and

big tractors. \Ve don’t recommend

it for everything from breaking

new ground to grinding grain,

sawing wood and cultivating young

lettuce and onions. “’e can’t

imagine any one machine that

could possibly do all these jobs

equally well.

But we do recommend Sprywheel

for any work a wheel hoe or a

hand hoe can be used for. Hun—

dreds of farmers and market gar—

deners have proved to their com—

plete satisfaction that one man

with a Sprywheel can do more and

better work than any fine men with

hand tools. It ”Multiplies man

power by five from seedtime to

harvest” and keeps crop costs

down. .





\' A money maker for the

market gardener



'A market gardener often cuts

down his acreage and spaces the

rows wide apart so that most of

the cultivating can be done by

horse power. Using the Sprywheel

he can avoid both these wasteful

expedients on high priced, heavily

fertilized land. He can plant

rows close together and cultivate





4;.





every rowas often as necessary—

simply multiply his yield and his

profits.



Sprywheel keeps down the weeds,

loosens and mixes the soil thor-

oughly, conserves soil moisture and

stimulates rapid growth right up

to maturity—long after the plants

have grown tall and spread into

the rows so that horses and mul-

tiple row cultivators can no longer

be safely or profitably used.





“You can sure recommend

it to your best friends”





Here’s a mighty interesting docu-

ment. \Ve sold Mr. Barnes a

Sprywheel lastpflyear by mail and

never heard from him till we re—

ceived the letter reprinted below

which he wrote to Mr. Brock. It

is his report on the Sprywheel

without service. Now you get your

Sprywheel with the best of dealer

service.





Harrison, Ohio, March 8. 1921.





Jerry Brock,

Newtown, Ohio.

Dear Sir :—

In regard to your letter asking how I like

my Sprywheel will say I raised 600 bushels

of onions in 1919; labor cost me $225.00.

In 1920 with the Sprywheel I raised 640

bushels on the same acreage; labor cost

me $25.00. Although I put my rows 14

inches apart for the Sprywheel, instead of

12 inches in the old way, you will see my

crop was heavier and labor cut $200.00 on

the onions alone.

I would not take one thousand dollars for

my Sprywheel if I could not get'another.

You can sure recommend it to your best

friends.



Yours , truly.

my corn. potatoes, etc.; in fact, I didn't

have a horse on my place after the plowing

ment and you have a remarkably

sturdy, simple and efficient power

lawn mower. Equipped with a Spry-

wheel the home gardener can work a.

hour of pleasant exercise.





Sprywheel work.and cost

of operation

Sprywheel pulls sets of rakes, culti-

vator .teeth, right and left billing

shovels, a row sweep or a small plow

for rnnunig seeding furrows at from

11/; to 4 miles an hour. It enables one

man to cultivate 15 miles of single row

in a day,’ considerably more with a.

two or three row attachment. Ono

gallon of gasoline runs a Sprywheel

all day.

Sprywheel’s improved fuel

economizer



One of the many engineering improve-

ments which Sprywheel embodies is the

Sprywheel Slow Speed Plug. It ap-

plies a new principle of carburetion—

gives greater power at slower speed

with a real saving in gasoline con-

sumption. With the slow speed plug

you get maximum horse power at 11/2,

to Ell/2‘ miles per hour.



Remove the plug and you get the same





. horse-power at 21/2 to 4« miles an hour





-—two speeds and no gears. It’s a.

great invention.
