The Michigan Experiment Station





HE Michigan Agricultural Experiment

Station is one of a group comprising

1‘ the seven leading parts into which

The

other sinI units are the divisions of agricul-

ture, engineering, home economics, science

and letters, Veterinary science and agricul-

Many of these divisions

are subdivided into groups representing spe-

cial lines of‘traini-ng in technical and scien-

tific work. The military and physical train—

ing departments serve all divisions of the

institution.

The establishment of agricultural experi-





ment stations in connection with the land





grant colleges in the United

States, resulted from the

enactment of federal legisla

tion known as the Hatch Act

passed in 1887. The purpose





. of these experiment stations





is deScribed in Section 2, of

the act as fbllows, viz.: “That

it shall be the object and

duty of said experiment sta-

tions, to conduct original re-

searches or verify exper-

iments on the physiology of

plants and animals; the dis-

eases to which they are se'v-

erally subject, with the rem-

edies for the same; the chem-

ical composition of useful

plants at their different

stages of growth; the com-v

parative advantages of rota-'

tive cropping as pursued un-

der the varying series of

crops; the capacity of new"

plants or trees for acclima

tion; the analysis of soils and

water; the chemical compo-

sition of manures, natural or

artificial, with experiments

designed to test the compar—

ative effects on crops of dif-

ferent kinds; the adaptation

and value of grasses and for-

age. plants; the composition

and digestibility of the difler





.ent kinds of food for domes.





tic animals; the scientific

and economic questions in- _

volved» in the production of





. butter and- cheese; and' Such





other researches 0r experi-

ments bearing directly on the

agricultural industry of the

United States as may in each

case be deemed advisable,





$15,000.





By Roéert S. Sflarw, Director





of' the respective states and territories.”

In 1906 the Hatch Act was supplemented





~ by the Adams Act for the further endow-





ment of - agricultural'experiment stations.

The provisions of this latter act required

that the funds accruing “be applied only to

paying the necessary expenses of conducting

original researches or experiments bearing

directly on the agricultural industry of the

United States.”



Financial support for the Michigan Agri-

cultural Experiment Station: The Hatch Act

of 1887 appropriated immediately and for

each successive year indefinitely the sum of

The Adams Act appropriated for





the year 1906 the sum of $5,000, "and an

annual increase to the amount of such ap-

propriation thereafter 1‘01 five years by an

additional sum of two thousand dollars over

the preceding year. ”



Since 1911 the two sources of revenue net~

ted the station $30,000 annually. Prior to

1908 supplementary appropriations from

state sources were practically negligible,

except for a few special items of buildings

and receipts from sales, together with fees.

Appropriations from state sources have con—

tinued to increase steadily in the form of

apportionments made by the State Board of

Agriculture until the sum for the year end-~



ing June 30, 1920, amounted

to $139,700.73, which togeth-





er with the Hatch and Adams-





funds made a total of $169;

700.73 for that year. The

financial support of the sta-

tion, particularly during the

earlier years, was very

meagre indeed, considering

the work to be done, and es-

pecially in comparison with

other states. The above sum

is a small item when compar»

ed with the two billion dollar

agricultural valuation of the

state which it is supposed to

support, stimulate and pro-v

tect.



No other state in the whole

country has a greater number

of more varied and complex

problems relating to agricul~

ture awaiting solution. Some

of the fact01s contributing to

an unparalleled vaiiety in

production of both animal and

plant life are disclosed in

studies of the geographical

location; environmental con-

ditions~—virtually two penin-

sulas almost surrounded by

water, some of which is con—

tributed by warm southern

streams, some from ice cold

sources, with influences re-

sulting from a commingling

of the two. Then there are

greatly varied soil conditions

existing under as greatly var-

ied environmental influences.

If the needs of the agricultur-

al interests are to be met ad-

equately, generous amounts of

funds, together with a'large

staff of properly trained

scientific investigations must

_ CURRENT COMMENT

\ OVERING a rea-





Covering sonable portion

, of human risks has

Farmers become a big business

Risks in the development of



our modern civiliza-



tion. The sum of human experience





has taught us that the various risks

some, if not all, of which everyone of

us must unavoidably encounter in our

personal and business life, impose too

great a handicap upon us to make it

profitable for us to undertake to carry

them alone. The gradual recognition

of this fact regarding the different

classes of risks with which we are

normally confronted gave birth to the

idea of insurance, through which our

risk could be reduced to the terms of

the law of averages, plus the cost of

pooling individual risks under and in

accordance with that law. And its

more general recognition has resulted

in the rapid development of the insur-

ance business in an ever widening

field, until almost every conceivable

human risk can be at least partially

covered by insurance.



The first and most universally ac-

cepted application of this/principle is

the matter of fire insurance. This is



, most natural for the reason that fire

loss is a. very prevalent, visible and

serious danger. It is the first risk

of which all of us think in connection

with the term insurance, and the risk

which is most universally covered by

property owners 01' all classes. The

property owner who does not carry

some insurance as a partial coverage

of this risk is a rare exception. The

amount carried is generally in propor-

tion to the property owner’s estimate

of the hazard or risk to which he is

subject, although in many cases farm-

ers particularly have not increased





their coverage in proportion to the in— .





creased value or replacement cost of



the property covered to the same ex-



tent‘as have the majority of business



men engaged in other lines of business



and often car‘ry heavier obligations.



This is a mistake which many farmers



have occasion to regret every year. It



is a most natural mistake for the rea-



son that. farm fire insurance policies



. are generally written for a longer term

than is the case with the average of



other fire risks; Also farm risks are



, 'more isolated and the farmer’s atten-

" tion is less likely to be directed to the



risk-which he is carrying than is the

calls with the man whose property is

" in V'nearer‘. proximity to other

. W Us lion in





likelihood of fire lossesand to the bus?

1 iness advisability of keeping his risk

well covered. But the farmer’s risk is

proportionately greater because of his

lack of fire protection and the greater

likelihood of his suffering a total loss

of the insured property, and for this

reason it is the part of business wis-

dom for him to give this question most

careful. attention, since the cost of

adequate protection is nominal as com-

pared with the benefit derived in case

of loss and the feeling of security

which adequate protection affords.

Unfortunately, too, we believe, farm- -

ers as a class have not given the at-

tention to covering other classes of

risks with insurance which has been

giventhis subject by other business

men. This is not due to superior in-

telligence or judgment on the part of

the other classes of business men, but

rather to the fact that they have been

more readily accessible to insurance

salesmen, who have impressed them





'with the desirability of coverage on





their risks of various natures. In oth-

er words, we buy fire insurance be-

cause we recognize it as an almost in-

dispensable item of business safety,

but most other forms of insurance

have to be sold to us on the basis of

a. business investment which we have

not recognized as indispensable.



Life insurance, for example, is not

generally looked upon by the average

man as in the same class with fire in-

surance from a business standpoint,

yet in a. large percentage of cases it

is quite as important from a business

standpoint, to farmers as well as to

other business men. The same may

be said of health and accident insur-

ance, of Windstorm insurance, of hail

and cr0p insurance, of employers’ lia-

bility insurance, of live stock insur-

ance, of automobile insurance.



Practically all of these classes of in-

surance are available on the basis of a

straight pooling of risks in mutual

companies, or by the assumption of the

Irisk at a fixed fee based upon insur-

ance experience, or by variations or

combinations of these two plans. And

all of this business is made the sub-

ject of governmental regulation in the

interest of the insured’ to the practical

exclusion of any possible loss of the

protection purchased or contracted for.

It has been well said that next to edu-

cation, insurance has been the greatest

stabilizing factor in modern civiliza-'

tion. Every farmer is a sufficiently

keen student of economics to sense the

fact that adequate coverage of his un-

avoidable risks would be good busi-

ness on his part if he would pause to

give the matter his serious and

thoughtful consideration. There is, of

course, a practical limit to the appli-

cation of this idea to the farm busi-

ness, but we believe it to be a wholly

safe assertion that that limit has been

reached in comparatively few cases.





' I ‘HE opponents of

the state income





State tax, in other words,

Income the corporate influ-

Tax ences ‘of the state,





succeeded in having

the ‘propOsition of the submision of a

constitutional amendment which would

make possible the enactment of such

a law killed in the state senate during

the special session of the legislature.

The members who were instrumental

to this end have, of course, prepared

a new alibi, just as they did during

the regular session, to pacify the farm-

ers of the state who were so generally

and solidly aligned for this proposi-

tion. They are not opposed to the

principle ‘of a state income tax! Of

course not! But it would greatly aim:

pllfy matters if some' arrangement





could be. made whereby sbva‘l‘nmsnt.

will it prevent the submissionggof'this

best that canbe said of the men who

successfully opposed the submissiion"‘of

this proposed amendment to‘th‘e peo-

ple by legislative action is that they





 





kept faith with the corporations which, '





we are advised by the press, accepted

the emergency corporation tax With-

out protest on the understanding that

the income tax proposal would be

dropped. .

Regardless ofwwhether or not they

are personally in favor of such a. pro-

posal, there is small justification for

the action of any coterie of legislators

in refusing to submit to a. vote of the

people a. proposition for the removal

of constitutional restriction against

the passage ofany law which is favor-

‘ed by a substantial element of the peo-

ple of the state as was the case in this

instance. Having taken this action,

there is still less justification for

cheap attempts to camouflage it.

i be considered separately. First, there

a large tract of land and has money or

credit for development work. Second,





" one finds the individual of small means





who desires a home.



The main object 05- the first is“ to

make a profit on moneyinvested, with

possibly a home as secondary consid-

cratiOn. The latter wants a home first





with ascumulation of money or its





equivalent second

We will first consider the individual

.or company that plans to develop a

‘large'farm. , He usually has capital

' and considerable credit. He knows

something about credit systems and

business 'inanagement, and the voluma

of his business will warrant the ex-

penditure of considerable money for

equipment and trained assistants. As

this is primarily a live stock country,

he undoubtedly will plan on operating

a sheep, beef or dairy business. If he

is wise he will hire a successful farm-

er. who is operating under similar con-

ditions to assist him in making the

initial plans. Two heads [are better

than one. Together they decide on the

approximate amount and quality of

land desired, consider such factors as

distance from good markets, remote-

ness from shipping points, etc. Then,





' _ they are ready to pick out a location.





This should be no hasty job. This

upper peninsula is. a big territory and

it has not yet‘ been picked over and

few men know the best locations. ,If

he wants sand loam or clay soils with

plenty of lime that will grow legumes





..as-long as he lives, he can have it, or-





any other type he desires. ,

Look well to the timber the soil pro-

’duced. 'An elm is, rather particular

'about its feeding ground and also de~

sires good company. The pines on the

rich clay soils did not have to go deep

to find foodrto grow big, while those

on the light soil penetrated deep into

the sub-soil and are hungry yet.

‘The Plans.’

After purchasing the land, he makes

a blueprint of it, showing as closely

as possible the topography, general 10-

' cation, etc., and then he is ready to

make plans for operations. A site for

the buildings is located where there is

good air and water drainage and the

. most suitable for operating the farm,

as well as having good access to the

main road. An estimate of. the carry-

plat made after a careful study as to

convenience, then plans for each build-

ing made so that they can be erected

in sections, and additions to be made

only so rapidly as the increase of bus-

iness make it compulsory. This elim.

inates excess overhead. -

Clearing the Land.



After the first buildings are erected,

the big problem is land clearing; For

convenience, we will consider land

from which mixed timber had been

out six to ten years previous. Some

stumps are “rotten and others have

roots

green, and there is some green brush.

His first operation is to cut and pile





.the brush, pull the scattered logs to-





gether, pull all stumps that a team

can handle and pile on top of the log

heaps, or any shape to get them to-

gether So they will burn. Pick up all

small stuff, and at a favorable time

burn the piles. Where the stumps are

thick and the tops not too rotten, a

power stump puller will'work to good

advantage, after using dynamite to

split the large stump. There is a place

for both the power stump puller and





dynamite on nearly all large opera-

tions. The dynamite not only splits

the stump up so that it is easily hand-

led, ,but removes the greater part of

the dirt, while the puller merely pulls

the stump out. The amount of dyna-

mite tovuse economically depends on

the type and moisture content of the

soil, the price of hand labor, and the

price of powder. This can easily be





estimated after operations have start'





ed. A home-made piler of the swing-

ing boom type will be found very con—

venient for piling the stumps. Get all

the labor-saving attachments 'that go

with it as they are very convenient.



Use a low wagon with a. flat rack

to go over the field to hand-pick the

small chunks, pile them on the stump

piles, then burn. If the land has many

cradle knolls, plow ana scrape them

down into the holes.



In plowing for the first time, use a.

strong breaking plow and heavy,

steady teams, as many of the hidden

roots can be plowed out. After plow-

ing, pick up the chunks and roots that

have been plowed out, harrow the land

thoroughly with a. spring-tooth and

disk harrow, then seed. The big work

is over.



Preparing for Live Stock.



When he balances his books, if this

is his first land clearing operation, he

probably finds that it has cost him

from twenty-five to thirty-three and

onethird per cent more than the orig-

inal prospectus ‘called for, and that it

has taken fifty percent more time.

Now he wants to know what to sow.

to winter, unless he can purchase

more nearby, as long freight hauls are

something to be considered. If he is

in the beef cattle‘ or sheep business,

he should also keep a few dairy cows,

a brood sow or two and raise at least

'one cash crop. With capital enough

for thesize of his business, and by

using good judgment in expending it,





his chances are very good for making-





a success.

The Problems of Settlers with Limited

Capital.



The settlers with small means are a

very cosmopolitan people. They rep-

resent many nationalities and almost

every phase of industrial life. Some

are well educated and well trained in

business methods, while others vary,

all the way to the other extreme.



The problems that come up in trying

to assist the ”new settler are very nu-

merous. Many new settlers are labor-

ers in the mining or lumbering indus-

try of the upper pninsula. After savi

ing a little money they buy a forty or

eighty in the locality in which they

work, build a little house and 'move

their families on to it, and when work

is slack they clear land on their own

place. They keep a small flock of

chickens, a few cows, and a pig or

two, and keep adding to the number of

live stock as fast as their land will

provide Winter feed. In a few years

they have sufficient cleared land and

live stock so that it will pay them to

spend their entire summers on the

farm and work during the winter. with

their teams for wages. In a short





time they are full-fledged farmers with





sufficient work of their own to last the

year around. Where their families-are





able and willing to stand the home life





under these circumstances it is the

quickest and surest, way of winning

success. _



The other class usually come from

outside this territory with a direct pur-

pose of buying land. They are gener-

ally influenced in making this moveby

reading advertisements, seeing exhib-

its at fails, talking with exhibitors or

to land salesmen.



Just a few words of caution at this

time may do some good, though I real-

ize that free- advice is seldom taken

Do not try to develop a cutover farm

should not expect much from the farm

before the third year. Some get along

with less, but it is uphill Work.‘

The Successful Settler.



Now, we will consider the one type

, of’settler—the one that is most sure

to make a success. Be" he from the

town or country makes but little dif-

ference, except that the town man has

more to learn. He is not afraid of hard

work, loves live stock and open air

work, and greatly desires a home of

his own. He necessarily must have a

wife of similar qualifications.



After picking his land and the wife

0. K.'s his choice, they are ready to

make permanent plans for develop-

ment. They have but little money,

consequently must be careful. They

‘ cannot aficrd expensive buildings,





porary shacks that wbuld



torn down in two or three years. They

should plan their little farm as they,

hope, to _see it ten year‘s.‘_hence, also

their buildings with their locations.



Too much emphasis cannot be laid on'

this point. , ,

Equipment Required.



A team and farm machinery will not

be needed the first year. consequently

a barn need not be built. A brush

scythe, axe, spade, cant-hook, crosscut

saw, hoe and a few carpenter tools

will be necessary. With plans made

for a compléte house, only the kitchen

and possibly the dining-room and bed-

room need be built, and with this part

the hardwood floors, siding and paint

can be postponed until the farm will

pay for it. Heavy building paper for

the outside will do nicely for a few

years’and the expense is much less.

One convenience is" very desirable

from the start and that is a pump and

drain in the kitchen, thus eliminating

the carrying of water. in and out of

the house. Few people realize the en-

ergy wasted in carrying water each

year in the house Physical energy is

the new settler’s greatest asset.



A chicken coop is the next thing to

build, and possibly a place to keep a

pig and a cow. Then they are ready

for land clearing. A place for a per-

manent garden should be the first





'work, and if the season is not too far





advanced, potatoes and a few hardy

vegetables could be planted.



At odd times, a little shrubbery and

a few trees takenvfrom the woods near-





   





start cutting the we, throw .

piles around stumps or logs, pick up

and pile all chunks that can be hand-

led, leaving the logs and stumps until





the following year when they will have





a horse. Occasionally it Will be nec-





essary to hire a team, but the feed~





and care of a team for a year would

cost too much for the work they have

the first year. They will find that the

first summer has been very profitably





spent in building, cutting brush, piling

and burning and keeping up a garden.





and that their expense has been com-

paratively light.

Don't Tie Up Money Unnecessarily.

Too many new settlers are only too

anxious to tie up their money in build-

ings," farm machinery and live stock





‘before the necessity for them shows





up,.and do not consider depreciation,

interest on mpney invested and feed

bills until it is too late. The first win-

ter can be spent cutting wood, posts

and a few sawlogs if there are any on

the newly purchased land. The wood,

other than enough for domestic use,

can be sold, the posts used during the

following year, and the logs made into

lumber for the new barn.



If good progress has been made dur-

ing the first year, then they are ready

to purchase and use to good advantage

a team and. some equipment, such as

a plow, spring-tooth harrow, a single

cultivator, and a wagon. A small barn

can be built and two or three cows

added to the live stock inventory. Ev-

ery elfort should be made to get





 





Potatoes wtll probably be found

to be the best cash crop on the 16am

soils.



Should Have a Farm by the Third



Year



If they keep constantly working at

,the land cheering during the second

year, they will be in a position to

classify as farmers during the third

year. We will leave them here be-

cauSe if they have used good judgment

and perseverance up to this time their

future is assured.



, Credit Needed.



One of the greatest obstacles to ag-

ricultural development is the present

credit system. '

to meet industrial conditions where

the turnover of business is two or

.more times a year. The six months’

credit is a curse to the new settler and

should be used as little as possible.



Too much credit is also a handicap

as it is easy to figure how a sum of

money will make good interest and a

profit, but it carried too far it' is hard

when the notes come due. This is not

theory, as I write from personal ex-

perienCe that is still fresh in my mind.



Agricultural development is not the

only kind that will progress in this up

per peninsula. Each settler will want

to buy groceries, feed, shoes, clothing,

etc. There will be need for many more

stores, banks, schools, churches, and

for, every line of professional work

that the old farming sections now

enjoy.

ASSESSM ENT FOR DRAINS.





 





A drain is being dug with dead ends

one-half mile from my land, which re-

ceives no benefit thereby, but my land

-has been assessed $42 for the drain.

What can I do about it?——Subscribe‘1.





By Compiled Laws (1915) Section

4906, the county drain commissioner

is authorized to apportion the assess-

ments and benefits on parcels of land

benefited by a ditch, and his determi-

nation thereon, unless appealed from,

is final and conclusive, and not open to

collateral attack. That the land you

own is or is not benefited by the drain

is a question of fact and the legisla-

" ture has seen fit to delegate decision

'of that fact to the county drain com-

missioner.



By Section 4907, Compiled Laws of

Michigan (1915), provision is made for

appeal to the probate court of the

county by anyone who may conceive

himself aggrieved by the assessment

made by the county drain commission-

er. This appeal must be taken within

ten days after the review of the as-

sessment. As the time for appeal in

your case has long since passed, as we

understand your letter, we see no re-

course for you but to pay the taxes.

STOVER SILAGE EXPERIMENTS.





 





As to the experiment with stover

silage I would like to have you give

some information as to just how you

handled the stover silage; if it was

shocked and how long it stood in the

shock. Or did you let it lay on the

ground like some of the rest of us,



until you had time to fill. Also, what



- time of year did you fill? I have 250

acres of land and two silos and would

like to know just how to handle it to

the best advantage. Was this corn in

the best of condition. I was at the

M. A. 0. October 29 or 30 and ,if my





“memory serves me right you were.





" filling and the fodder was all bleached

. “out so I would consider it ‘as almost

,worthless. J. W. J.



I The corn crop which was made into

stover silage in the fall of 1920 was





   





x





at no time allowed to lay on ground.

Owing to a shortage of help and the

fact that we were expecting a silo fill-

er and husker combined, to arrive at

most any time, the corn was not out

until the machine arrived and we were

ready to fill. This was October 28,

when the corn was cut and hauled to

the silo immediately. We had not had

a frost at this time. The corn had

dried out. Owing to the fact that this

field was protected by a windbreak of

pine trees not many of the leaves had

blown off. At the time of filling, an

abundance of water was added so that

at the time when the silage was fed

out the stover silage contained a

slightly greater amount of water than

the normal silage.



The figures which were given out

were not meant to be absolutely con-

clusive, but rather were given as the

result of one year’s work. It is our

plan to repeat this experiment on

three successive winters. This year

we aim to shock the corn and place it

in the silo just as soon as we feel that

the ears will keep in the crib. Rest

assured, however, that stover silage

will have just as fair a trial as we can

possibly give it and the experiment

will be repeated not less than three

times—G. A. BROWN, Professor of An-

imal Husbandry, M. A. C.





POTATOES FOR MILK cows.





 





We are shipping milk and milking ’





eight cows. We have a lot of little

potatoes and want to cut them up and

feed them to the cows twice a day, but





.I have heard that potatoes will dry





them up. Is that correct, and is it a

good plan to feed potatoes to a cow

about a week or so before calving?

Have a Holstein that is seven years

old that came in December 12 and she

has not come in heat. What is good

to feed her to make her come in heat?

Oakland Co N. H C.





There is 1101;111:1an the idea that

potatoes Will dry up milk cows. Raw

potatoes are not a very concentrated

food, and if you, would feed an execs





sive amount of potatoes and cut down

on hay and grain, perhaps your cow

would shrink ,in milk, becduse you

would not be feeding her a full ration,

but if in addition to the hay and grain

you are feeding now you feed say one-

half bushel of potatoes night and

morning, I would expect to get an in-

‘crease in the flow of milk.



With regard to the cow that came

in last December not breeding. I

think this is a case for your local vet;

erinarian. I don’t believe unless one

had a chance to make a careful exam-

ination of the. case that one' would be

warranted in prescribing—C. C. L.





UTILIZING MARL.





 





I would like some information about

marl, its value compared with lime

when it tests eighty-five per cent.

When is the best time to use it? What

tools are best to get it with ?——J. L. K.





Marl, eighty-five per cent, is worth,

in the dried state, ei’ghty-five per cent

of that of limestone. From a practical

point of view, two yards of this mate-

rial is worth as much as a ton of lime-

stone. _



Many methods of application are be-

ing practiced in the statefithe most

practical method I have found, was

spreading with a manure spreader.

With a little manipulation the speed

of the apron and depth of the marl in

the manure spreader can be guaged

to put on the amount desired. ‘



I have read your letter with interest.

Every marl situation has its own fac-

tors. 'For' example, I know of four 10-

cations in. Michigan where marl hills

are found. Obviously that is a differ-

ent question from handling the stuff

undé‘r water. But there are several

ideas that are “generally applicable.





The problem is essentially the same,





as handling clay under the same 'cir-

cumstances. The 'type of dredging ma.

chinery for taking out clay would be

similar to that of taking out- marl



' The solution of the marl tfuestion is





community effort. Any individual or

group of men can hire a dredge com-

pany to take the stulf out at less than

twenty-five cents a yard, if farmers

will promise to buy the marl. Getting

the volume of business, that is, signing

up the proper number of yards, is not

at all a difficult matter where farmers

realize how important lime is to their

business. .There is every- reason to be-

lieve that an arrangement could be

made with the dredge companies who





. ‘ f9

, , , ,. he stock during the tollowmg , in .

ter.





It has been developed ‘





are doing drainage wdrk in all parts 5





of Michigan totake out marl. .Many

of these large drains cross marl beds.

It would be a simple matter to throw

out a certain number of yards which

farmers have previously agreed to

take, instead of digging a narrow ditch

across the marl bed. It merely means

getting the drain commissioner, the

farmer owning the marl, and the farm-

ers together, and marl would be fur~

nished for no‘ more than thirty-five

cents a yard to many farmers in the

vicinity of the drain—E; L.‘ '





POSSIBLY TOO MUCH SALT.





 





I feed my cow 'cornstalks, alfalfa

hay and a little March hay, and twice

a day about four quarts of bran, which





I soak up in warm water, and put in a‘





small handful of table! salt. The cow

has acted a couple of times like she

was sick. She doesn’t chew her cud,

and she cuts her milk yield. This lasts

a couple of days and then she is all

right again. Please tell me if the feed

is right. , E. A. N.





The foods yod mention are all good





foods and ought not to make a cow "





sick. I am inclined to think that'it

would pay you to feed ground corn

meal or grOund cats with the bran as





a ration, as; bran is pretty light food .

when used alone for grain. You" say ‘.

you give the cow one handful=of salt '





each day.~ An animal ought ‘not to

have over two ounces of salt and can

get along with less.

'* FTER preliminary conferences

with representatives of farm and





grain handling groups, Secretaries





. Hoover and Wallace issued an invita-





tion for a more extensive conference





' to‘be held in Washington on June 13,





to consider the following plan for im-

provement in warehousing grain.

Somewhat similar plans are in opera-

tion now in a few states.



Representatives of various farm or-

ganizations, elevators and giain deal-

ers, insurance companies and other as-

sociations interested, have been invit-

ed to attend.



The proposal is to provide a method

by which the farmer can be given un—

limited storage facilities for his grain

and'receive a warehouse certificate in

‘such form and under such conditions

that it would pass as an order for de-

livery of the grain. It would thus

greatly increase his borrowing power

and would relieve him of the pressure





of selling his grain except at his own .





option. It would enable him to haul

his grain at the time of the greatest

farm economy without being compelled

to sell at that time. It would extend

'his credit area far beyond his local

bank. It would place him in the same

position as to credit as is the grain





dealer.

‘ If the plan can be made prac\aable,

the falmer will have a prime cpl eral





. which will open to him a much wider





circle of credit than that of his own

local bank. Through the sale 'of his

certificate he would be able to place

'his grain on the market at any time

he wished under no compulsion by sea-

sonal or financial reasons to accept a

market price at variance with his own

opinion.





.THE CONDENSED MILK'MARKET.





 





HERE is little life to the condens-

ed milk market. If anything, there

is less activity at the present time

than for the last several months. The

situation is again becoming serious as





, unsold stocks are ”increasing very rap-





idly. That, of course, is due to the in-

creased flow of milk and to the fact

that a high percentage of the factories

throughout the country are operating

_to practically full capacity. More sér-

ious, however, is the decrease in un-

filled orders. That decrease during the

month of May was fully twenty-five

per cent.





Domestic consumption of condensed.





milk seems to have decreased mate-

rially of late and there are practically

no foreign price inquiries and orders

from abroad are absolutely lacking.

There were rumors during the past

week that there would be a large order

placed for spray process powdered

milk by a Central Europe organization

but as yet nothing has developed to

confirm those rumors.





It usually' follows ,with the coming cf ’





spring that large orders are placed. for





' bulk quantities of both condensed and





evaporated milk. Those orders have

been far below expectations this

spring. The coolness of the season has

served undoubtedly to curtail the con-

sumption of ice cream, in which a high

percentage of condensed or evaporated

milk! is incorporated. It is expected

that demand for bulk goods will be

.greatly stimulated with the coming of





' hot weather.





There is a tendency for values of





:all grades and classes of condensed





and evaporated milk to decline. How-





..ever, there has been no actual fallaifi _

- prices of advertised brands. As a





Whole, manufacturers are disappointed

because of the inactivity in the con~

densed milk market and do not view

EGINNING July 1, under the direc-

tion of a trio of specialists, the ele-

vator exchange of the State Farm Bu—

reau expects to increase its daily sales

to thirty cars of grain, hay and beans,

according to L. E. Osmer, manager of

the exchange. Two new salesmen have

joined the exchange since it has ex-

panded and moved into new quarters

at farm bureau headquarters in Lan-

sing. They are C. S. Benton, formerly

of Detroit, a specialist on beans, and

Don Souls, of Sandusky, Michigan, a





bay salesman of long, experience, who





.took charge of the exchange’s hay de-

partment June 15.



Michigan farmers belonging to the

exchange took advantage of the recent

upturn in the wheat market to unload

their stocks. For more than a week.

the exchange disposed of 200,000. bush;

els of grain daily. Another surprise





.developed in the bean market during





the week of June 6. After the bean

market had dropped to $3.40, farmers

with‘one accord stopped selling beans.

The market reacted promptly and

came backrarou’nd $3. 70, with but feW

beans being offered.





 





TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT Asmara

STRAWBERRY enowsns. ‘ '





 





» TRAWBERRY growers in the west—

ern part of the ,state were given

much-needed assistance in marketing

their crop this year by the farm bu-

reau traffic department. At a time

when the crop was ready to move, the

growers found that they could not get

express cars. The efforts of individ-

uals failed to meet the situation and

the aid of the farm bureau was enlist-

ed, says the report of the traffic office.

Hastening to , the express company

headquarters in Chicago the farm bu-

reau traffic commissioner and an offiI

cial of the Michigan Fruit Growers’





Exchange succeeded in inducing the’





carrier to place twenty cars at princi-

pal'strawberry shipping points in time

to move the crop.



Trafiic Bulletin Nc.'2, prepared by

the traffic officevof the farm bureau,

has been distributed to county agents

and cooperative association for the

service of Michigan farmer shippers.

The bulletin answers questions that

perplex theshippef' and tells him how

to protect himself financially on his

shipments. -

be maintained. Up to 1908 not more'





than eighteen individuals were engag-

ed in agricultural investigational work

and many of these giving but a portion

of their time. The number of investi—

gations has continued to increase to

about sixty-five, including both full and

part-time workers. During this period

the building and laboratory facilities

have been greatly increased.



The eleven departments of the 'agri;

cultural division all participate in ag—

ricultural investigation work in addi-

tion to their educational and other

duties. In addition to this several de—

partments of other divisions are in-

cluded. .At the present time over one

hundred and fifty officially recorded

projects are under way.



State- owned lands now under the di—.

rection of the experiment station com-

prise 1,895 acres distributed as fol-

lows, viz.: At the Michigan Agricul-

tural College, 1,020 acres;' Upper Pe-

ninsula Station at Chatham, 760 acres;

Graham Horticultural Station at” Grand

Rapids, 100 acres, and the South Hav-

en Sub-station, fifteen acres. It is the

intention in succeeding articles to dis-

cuss in detail the work and functions

of the various units where agricultural

investigations are-being carried on.



‘ During the war period it became ex-

tremely difficult to maintain the work

and some of it had to be suspended.

No less than forty young men con-





 





agricultural division of the college left

t9 participate in some form of war

service. With but one or two excep:

tions all returned to the former posi‘

tions held open for them by the State

Board of Agriculture. It has required

much. time and effort in the reorgan-

ization work.



Though American agricultural exper-

iment stations as such were not organ-

ized until 1887, this date does not

stand forthe beginning of agricultural

experimental work, for in Michigan

much was accomplished by the college

between its opening in 1857 and the

enactment of the Hatch Act in 1887.

These results are included in the re«

ports of the State Board of Agricul-

ture; we are planning to review the

work of this period.



The publications of the experiment

station are issued free of charge un-

der government postal frank to all

who care to receiVe them. ' They are

classified into seven distinct groups

for general or specialvissue and into

ten groups according to subject mat-

Multiplies Man Power by Five from Seedtime to Harvest





One Gallon

One Day’s Fuel





Don’t Overlook Sprywheel





It practically eliminates the biggest ‘ item of cost in





\ truck farming—hand hoeing





. you can figure the cost of those same crops in fertilizer,





j .70U can’t tell .what‘ prices your crops will bring. But





4 seed, capital and labor invested. And labor—hand

labor—is the great. big item that is so often partly overlooked

in fixing costs.- Almost the only way to ‘loWer your crop

cost is to reduce the labor cost or in some way increase ‘the





yield per plant and per acre.





Sprywheel makes both of these things possible.





How Sprywheel increases the

yield per acre

Sprywheel makes both practical and

economical the continuous and late-

season cultivation which agricultural

colleges and farm experiment sta-

tions have definitely proved yields

crop increases far in excess of the

cost of the additional labor—even

when hand hoes and wheel hoes are

used. Using Sprywheel this cost is

reduced to a fifth of the Cost of do-



ing the work by hand.



Sprywheel. also permits planting

rows so close together that plants

have just enough room to attain full

maturity—an important advantage

on high—priced, heavily fertilized

land.“





Besides, Sprywheel insures uniform '





Eng than five men with hand or wheel

hoes. _



Up and down the rows of lettuce,

onions, cabbages, tomatoes, seedling

trees or small fruits, tobacco, corn

or cotton, Sprywheel goes. At from

11/2 to 4 miles an hour, it weeds,

mulches, hoes or hills—works all

day long on one gallon of gasoline.





Fifteen miles of row is not an ex—





ceptional day’s work for Sprywheel.

When the rows are close together





- and the plants small, the row mileage





cultivated can be largely increased

by the use of a two or three—row

attachment. '





By cutting down your time and labor

cost per bushel, Sprywheel cultiva~

tion increases your profits per

bushel:





‘





In five minutes a power lawn

mower

By loosening two bolts, the cultivator

tool, assembly is dropped. Substitute

the'Sprywheel LaWn Mower Attach~

ment. Fasten in place with the same

two bolts, and you have a power

lawn mower—~remarkably sturdy,

' simple, efficient, and easily guided.

Especially suited to country estates,

country clubs, parks and cemeteries.





Sprywheel’s improved fuel

economizer



One of the many engineering imv

provements which Sprywheel em-

bodies is the Sprywheel Slow Speed

Plug. It applies a new principle of

carburetion—gives greater power at

slower speed with a real saving in

gasoline consumption. With the slow

speed plug you get maximum horse

power at 11/2 to 21/2 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.

C





O \





 





RECENT accountreport of condi-

tiOns at the Otter Lake Agricul-

tural School, Houghton county, which

is the parent school of the newton-

solidated rural school system of Mich-

igan—states that six acres of grain

have been put in this spring, while an

additional tract of' land is being clear—

ed of stumps by blasting for the recep-





_tion of its first crop. Withrthe addi-





tion of several new families in this

section, the principal expects a crowd-

'ed enrollment of the school next term,

with probably two hundred pupils in

attendance.

ninth grade and another teacher next

year. Houghton county has taken ov—

er the Otter Lake road leading south

sixteen miles from Houghton into this

district of the county, and work on it

began the week of May 23. This, it is

expected, will result in the opening of

several lateral highways from the

main road, resulting, in turn, in furth-

er opening up the country. The prin-

cipal of this school expresses his pleas-

ure at the passage of the new law per-

mitting school districts to erect teach-

erages for the housing of teachers,

since, without such provision, he hard-

ly would expect to return to this school

next year. This merely illustrates how

the housing problem for rural school

teachers, in some sections of the state,

is of vital importance.





 





MINERS TURNING FARMERS.





 





SAW Agricultural Agent L. M. Geis-



mar, in Houghton on June 4. Mr.

Geismar was very optimistic regarding

agricultural conditions in Houghton

county. He has reason for being so.

Mining is flat there now, but agricul—

ture is very promising. Miners out of

work are getting back to the land.

Indeed, it is quite common in theup-

per peninsula to find farmers who once

were miners. Mr. Geismar instanced

the case of two men who had formerly

worked as partners underground, one

of whom had later left 'mining for

farming in the same county. He re-

cently sold his farm for ten thousand

dollars, and this was not the extent

of his accumulation of property. His

partner is out of work and with little

money saved against this, his rainy

day. Some of these farmers have farms

now worth forty thousand dollars, the

agent states. The. fact is, as I know

from, personal observation, Houghton

county has little land that is not good

for agriculture. Much of it was once

hardwood land with a deep, strong soil.

Since climatic conditions are also fav-

orable, Mr. Geismar is right in declar-





. ing that, if southern Michigan farms





are worth $200 per acre, these north

Michigan lands are also entitled to a

high price per acre. I found two men

in the agent’s office in quest of farms

in the Otter Lake district, where, how-

ever, much, or quite all, of the land

from which the timber has been re-

moved, is already taken up, Mr._Geis-

mar reports. "

PARKS FOR CLOVERLAND.





 





. R. BURT WICKHAM, secretary

of the Michigan State ParkCom-

mission, has given“ assurances to: the

Upper Peninsula Development Buréau

that the subject'of ‘state parks: in the

upper peninsula will be brought 'to the

attention of the new conservation com-

mission, now in chargeuof state parks,

at their meeting to be held about the

middle of June. So far, the upper pe-

ninsula has fared badly in regard to

the location of state parks, although

it has many of the most eligible sites

in Michigan, and it is anxious to have

positive action in the near future.





DESTRUCTION 0F WOLVES AND

COYOTES.





 





IN laying out the work for the de-

struction of wolves and coyotes in

upper Michigan, Mr. J. S. Ligon, of the

United States Bureau of the Biological

Survey, has been operating recently in

the region between Bergland and Ken-

ton on the line 'of the Duluth, South

Shore & Atlantic Railroad, and to eith—

er side of the line, including the Porcu-

pine Mountain area. The student hunt-

ers furnished by the state conservation

department are on the ground and get-

ting their instruction. Already, Mr.

Ligon reports to the development. bu-

reau, these hunters have taken num-

bers of young coyotes and some bob-





cats, but in this instruction period it‘





is not expected that many animals will

be taken. Mr. Ligon is leaving the pe-

ninsula for a time, but will return, it

is expected, in the late summer, when

a-new camp of instruction will be es-

tablished near Marquette. Mr. Ligon

expresses high' appreciation of the

hearty cooperation which he has re-

ceived in Michigan, and expects to

build up a fine organization for this

very essential work.





CLUB ACTlVITIES IN CLOVER-

LAND.





 





-IRONWOOD, Erwin and Bessemer

townships have each engaged club

leaders recently. It is planned to

broaden the scope of. club work in Go-

gebic county to» include potato and

live stock work. It is stated that not





less than one thousand boys and girls _





have been enrolled in the county’sgar—

den clubs in every season since this

work was started during the war. It

is now thought that potato Clubs also

have great promise of success, and it

is suggested that a potato marketing

association might well be established

to assist the boys and girls in dispos-

ing of their output. Unlike some other

upper peninsula counties, Gogebic does

not supply its own potato require-

ments. "





, Mr. Gunderson reports that Club;

of manufactures shoWs that there are

8,737 butter factories, 3, 3‘10 cheese fac-

tories, and 41.0 condensed milk factor-





 





in the manufacture of dairy products.

The value of the annual output of

these dairy plants is given as follows:

Butter, $583,216,000; cheese, $143,708,-



, 000; condensed milk, $339,570,000, a

total of $1, 065, 794. 000.





 





_ l . , In comparison with butter the oleo-





.. margarine industry is insignificant, the

census showing thirty-nine factories

with a total production of $69, 903, 000.

Without some sort of protection from

oleomargarine, however, when it is

sold colored in imitation of butter, the

compound product would affect the

price of real butter very disastrously,

working great injury to the dairy in-

' fa VALUE OF MILK IN THE DIET Is

‘ SHOWN WITH RAT EXHIBIT.





 





 





 





STRIKING exhibition of the value



- of milk in the diet has been pre-

pared by the Dairy Division of the

United States Department of Agricul—



‘ ture for use in educational milk cam-

paigns The exhibit consists of two

stuffed and mounted rats, one a 1m ge—

boned healthy specimen, the other an

undersized weakling with skin clinging



j, to its poorly developed bones.



, ‘The illustration compares an ade-

quate diet containing all the food es-

sentials with an inadequate, poorly

chosen diet, lacking some of the food

essentials. The large, well-developed



-“ healthy rat had its cereal diet supple—

mented with milk, and the advantage

accruing is shown by the well-develop-

ed tissues, muScles, and bones, the

The small rat was deprived of milk

and other adequate souices of these

necessary food constituents,- hence the



.' weak, gelatinous bones, thin muscles,

’ lack of growth, and constant loss in

\ - biscuits, but only one had milk with

the biscuits. '



These rats were chosen from two

cages, each containing six rats. On

March 24 each, group weighed 485

grams. All rats were young and the

teams age. On May 4 both groups were

again weighed. The six rats receiving

milk had gained 542.5 grams. The oth-

ers showed a loss of 17.1 grams each,

or 102.7 grams for the lot of six.



This is not considered a scientific

,experiment, but a simple exhibit to

Red Raspberry"

I Culture .

By R. G. Kirby





 





ED raspberries are produced on

R the wood which grows during

the previous year. Right after



’ harvest the old canes should be prun-

ed out to give the new wood a chance



to develop to better advantage. The





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

   





gous diseases and should be burned to

destroy them. Raspbeny patches are

1 sometimes ruined because cane blight,

‘ :3 anthracnose or cane borers obtain a

i start. It pays to control these trou-

bles as much as possible by clean cul-

ture. and the destruction of diseased

and pest-ridden canes.



Cane blight causes the fruiting canes

to wilt and die. It often occurs just

before harvest time when there are

good prospects fora crop. Such canes

must be cut off close to the ground

and burned. We have seen the blight

spread half way down a row and kill

every fruiting cane. And the remaind-

er of the row would be healthy and

produce a heavy yield of fruit. The

control of this disease is not fully un-

derstood and it makes extensive red

raspberry growing rather risky.



Anthracnose causes grayish spots

with purple margins near the base of

canes. It is a common trouble but we

have not seen it appear as often as

can blight. Three applications of lime-

sulphur have proven to be of some

value in controlling anthracnose. A

mixture of two and a half gallons of

lime—sulphur to fifty gallons of water

is used when the leaves start. A mix-

ture of one and a quarter gallons to

fifty can be applied when the shoots

are five Or six inches high. The same

is used again before blossoming time.



About June the female cane borer

may puncture raspberry canes near

the tips and lay eggs in the incisions.

The little worms that hatch burrow

down into the pith and cause the canes

to die. When the infested canes are

seen to wilt the tips containing the

worms should be nipped off and burn

ed. The prompt burning of the old

canes after the fruiting season is also

of value in destroying this pest. There

are several other insects and fungous

diseases which slightly injure red

raspberries but the above are the only

ones that hate caused us losses. It

seems as if considerable more scien-

tific investigation of raspberry insects

and diseases will be necessary before

the production of berries on a large

scale will be attempted by the average

farmer. ‘



Red raspberry canes will grow very

tall on rich soil and they must .be cut

back to a height of about five feetror

supported by a wire stretched between

two posts. If they ‘are not cut back

they will produce a heavier crop for a

.short time, but when they are pruneo

back the fruiting period extends over

a longer period.

grow between the rows should be tak-

en out or the patch will soon be a tan-

gle of growth and the fruit very diffi-

cult to harvest.



When red raspberries are grown in

hills all but about six of the most

sturdy canes are pruned out. If too

many canes are left it is apt to result

in a growth of spindly canes the next

year and the fruit may be small and

lacking in quality. It sometimes seems

like a waste to take out any of the

thickvhealthy canes capable of fruiting

the next year, but experience proves



‘ that the crop does not pay as well

when this pruning is neglected.



If the pruning is all done in the fall

it saves work during the spring, but

even then it pays to go' through the

-patch in the spring and note if any of

the canes are broken down or deceas-

ed If these are found they must very



- prothly be removed and burned. If

“i've got to go and wash and iron

my new white dress. Acause—be-

cause I’m a—goin’ back to Mrs. McLau-

fin,.like I promised in go. Ye might

as well inform pap to hatch up my

railroad money, mother.”





She promptly forgot all about the

new white dress, broke off another full-

blown marigold and began to tear it

to pieces, which fluttered unnoticed to

her bare feet.



Just then By Heck stopped before

the gate.



“Do ye want to go home along as I

go, maw?” he asked. '



The three women turned their eyes

toward the lanky moonshiner. He was

standing straighter than they had ever'

seen him standing before, and he held

his repeater across one of his thin

shoulders in a manner that was al-

most soldierly. There was a queer

look in his black eyes on his lean face,

a look that seemed muCh at variance

with his former easy-going air. It was

as though he had just discovered a

hitherto unknown depth to himself.





The truth was that he was carrying

a. secret that was great, and almost

too much for him.



His aged mother rose with a rheu-

matic groan. “Looky here, By," she

demanded, “what on earth’s the matter

of ye? Ha’ ya done went and swal-

lered a rifle’s ramrod, or a fishin' pole,

that ye walk so cussed straight and

look like a plumb dadblamed fool?”



“No, maw,” grinned her son. “Noth-

in’ like it. I’m jest hongry, that’s all.

My gosh, ef I don’t feel hongry enough

to eat a whole raw yaller dawg! And

top it off with a couple 0"- baked house-

cats. Durn my eyes and blast my for-

rard. _I wisht ye’dcome and go home

along as I go, maw, and git me some

dinner."



“All right, By, all righty." To Mrs.

Littleford, “Come down and bring yore

knittin’, and spend the day wi’ me.

Good luck to ye, Babe, honey, when

ye go back to the city!” '



When they were within a hundred

yards of their cabin home beside the

river, ‘Granny Heck said to her son,

Whose mind seemed inordinately busy:



“Who d 'ye reckon killed Black

Adam, the hound .dan o' Torment, By,

darlin’?” _



“I’m a-lookin’ fo’ rain today,” very

quietly said By Heck. “ ‘



“I axed ye, sonny boy,” the witch-

Iike old woman went on, “who did you

reckon killed Black Adam ?”



“The’s rain in the air," as though he

had not heard. “Ef it don’t rain to-

‘ day, it’ll shore rain tonight."



“Now looky herel", snapped Granny





 

 

 

 





Heck. “I said who did you think killed

Adam Ball?” , ‘



By Heck did not smile, nor did he

frown. “Ef it don't rain today nor to-

night,” he drawled, “it’ll shore rain to-

“By! By! Ye dadblamed idjit!”

protested the old woman vehemently.

“Now you answer me what it was I

axed ye! ” .



Said Samuel Heck, unperturbed:

“Don’t talk so infernal loud, moth-

“I don’t think who killed Black Adam:

I know who killed Black Adam. But,

igod, it needn’t to worry Bill Dale

none! Git this here, inother, dear—

whoever it was done it shore ain’t a-

weapon.

“Whut!”



“Le’ me ax ,ye a question,” with a

mock solemnity that was ultra-ridicu-

lous. “Please don’t try to joke wi’ me,

truth?” .



Hopeful, she bent toward him. "0’

course, honey boy, I'll tell ye the truth.

He whispered it:

Granny Heck became so angry that

she trembled. To her, baffled curios-

ity was but little better than'torture.

She caught her son by an arm- and

shook him as hard as her poor strength

would allow.



“1 wisht I may drap dead right here

By Heck passed a hand caressingly

and longingly across his hungry stom-

ach. Then he looked toward some

fleecy white clouds that were sailing

slowly, like ships of silver and pearl

in a sunny cerulean sea, over the rug-

ged crest of the majestic Big Pine.



"The’s rain in the air," he drawled.

CHAPTER xv.

Jailed.





ARTERSVILLE nestles close be



tween the points of two outlying



foothills, and it is a delightfully

lazy and old-fashioned town. For the

most part it is made up of gabled old

brick houses,_which have pretty set-

tings of green lawn, roses, honeysuck-

les and trees. Even in the small busi-

ness district, the streets are lined with

trees. They have electric lights there,

and water mains, a common school





n





and a high school, a courthouse, a jail,

and a theatre. .



It was a little after nightfall when



Dale and. the other two men rode

through the shaded streets. Dale not-

ed that the people they met under the

swinging lights spoke cordially and

with marked courtesy to his compan~

ions. It was very evident. that'the

officer and Major Bradley were in high

standing in their home town.

. Sheriif Tom Floyers drew in before

a hitching-rack that stood in frontal?

the courthouse, a great old wooden

building with aclock in its tower.



“We’ll dismount here,” said he.



They did. The major took the rein

of Dale’s horse.



“I’ll see that the animal is well car-

ed for, sir,” he said to Bale. “And as

soon as I have seen to our horses, I’ll

be with you. I wish to talk matters

over with you. Suppose I bring sup-

per for us both, eh?”



Dale thanked Bradley, and turned

away with the officer. They walked a

short block and entered a low, square

building of brick and stone, of which

the windows were small and high and

barred with iron. Dale knew that it

was the Cartersville jail, and his heart

sank in spite of him. Just as death

by violence had been entirely new to

him, so also was this entirely new,

to him.



‘ Flowers took a ring of heavy keys

from the hand of the jailer, and led

the way down a whitewashed corridor.

It was not yet bedtime, and the other

prisoners were still up; some of them





were reading newspapers, others were .





trying to mend their clothing, still oth-

ers were doing nothing. A‘ few of

them called out boldly and bade the

new prisoner welcome—and each 'of

these received a gruff order from the

sheriff to keep quiet. Dale paid no at«

tention whatever to his would-be tm-s

mentors.



At an iron door at the end of the

corridor, the officer halted and faced

about.



“If there could be such a thing as a

comfortable cell here,” he said in low

and kindly tones, “it’s this one.” He

went _on”earnestly: “Now I want you

to believe me when I tell you that it

is with real regret that I put you be-

hind a door of iron. But if I didn’t do

it, somebody else would do it; and it’s

possible that I can be a little more

decent about it than another officer

would be.” ‘ .



“I realize all that, y’know," replied

Dale, “and I’m ery muchobliged to

you, sheriff.” ’



Flowers unlocked the door,'and Bill

' ‘ own generation by the will of God,





.fell asleep, and was laid unto his



fathers, and saw corruption.” It is not



a bad thing to be reminded of the fact



. that the only generation We will see,



" " . is the generation in which we live.

I We may wish we had lived in the long



a ’ A ago, when there were knights and

' jousts and crusades and moated Cas-

tles. We may look forward and sigh

,to live a hundred years hence, when

there will be more extraordinary in-

ventions than we see now, and new

nations may have arisen. Bu‘: we must

come back to the fact that none of

these delightful dreams will eventuate.

We can neither go back nor ahead. We

are living now. This is our genera-

}, tion, and it is more unalterable than

’ the famous laws of the Medes and Per-

\ sians. Even so many—sided a man as

David could'ohly live in his own gen-



. eration, and the very greatest service



,: he could render was the one referred



‘ to in the passage above: he served his

own generation by the will of God. No

man can do more. Thousands do less.

. "We are living now. That sounds too

l simple to print. But many do not

V sense the fact. They act as though

they Were going to live here forever.



, They appear not to realize that the

9 course of history will be shapedby

what we do. They do not think that

the next generation and the next are

. certain to be better or worse, because

ls they had us for their ancestors. We

A inherit great things from those who

have gone before. And these institu-

\ -, tions exist today because those men

_ and women back there a hundred years



or a thousand years, served their gen-

eration to the highest light they had.

For instance, there is our Federal Con—

stitution. It is said by foreign states-

i men to be the greatest document of its

’ kind ever written. But it was a tre-

. mendous piece of work to get it adopt-

ed. At first none of the thirteen states

. would accept it. Each feared the other

was scheming to get .the advantage

’over the rest. But they had. passed

through seven years of war, and they

knew they were in a rather defense-

; less condition. Money during the Rev-

olution had become so worthless that

a colonel’s monthly salary would hard-

1y buy the oats for his horse. And so

little Delaware led the way, and her





; representatives signed the constitu-

l." tion. Big, brotherly Pennsylvania fol-

l .lowed, New Jersey, Georgia and Con-

necticut came next, and then there

,3 .was a long pause. Massachusetts



f' would not sign. John Hancock had to





be induced to lend his aid, by hints of

the presidency. After long delay and

much oratory, Massachusetts ratified,

,/ .. _ by a very small yote. All finally rati-

" fled but Rhode 'Island, and she had to





be coerced by threatening to isolate,





L 'Z‘g .- her and treat her as a foreign poWer-





HAT the United States is today

is due to the action of the thir-

teen states one hundred and thirty-one

f years ago. Those statesmen were liv-

ing at that time. They were using the

,. present. They employed the condi—

tions of the time to bring about 3. won-

treated and mutinous. Daily the cry

of the overworked people arose. They

were' ready for almost anything. All

that was wanting was a match, to light

the fire of rebellion. When a leader'

appeared there was nothing he .could

not do with such a people. The leader

appeared. He told them of a land far

away, that was awaiting them. It was

a mostfertile land, and a beautiful, a

land that flowed with milk and honey.

If they rebelled against their taskmas-

ters and followed him, God would lead

them safely to this beckoning country.

The people responded, two millions of

them, and the famous Exodus began.





AKE the case of prohibition. A



few years back, national prohibi-

tion was only a dream. Many people

said it would come some day, but not

for a long, long time. Here and there

a state had adopted prohibition, but it

was far from being national. Then

something happened. There was war.

People went with scanty coal, families

doubling up to save fuel. But the

breweries continued to consume thou-

sands of tons, the smoke from their

stacks blackening the towns and cities

north, south, east and west. ' The peo-

ple were asked to give up all white

flour. They did so, and used bran,

middlings, various mysterious substi-

tutes. But the liquor-makers contin-

ued to devour thousands of bushels of

wheat and other grains. People could

get but little sugar, and for long peri-

ods no white sugar at all. But the.

breweries were able to get whatever

sweetening they needed for the manu-

facture of their product. The hour had

struck to introduce national prohibi-

tion. People were seeing the selfish-

ness and folly of consuming useful

foodstuffs for making liquor. The pro—

hibition amendment was ratified so

‘fast that it made us dizzy. Every week

brought the names of states that had

ratified. The most ardent teetotallers

could hardly believe it.



“There is a tide tn the affairs of

men, which, taken at the flood, leads

on to fortune." We have been wise

in some things of late. We have not

been so wise in others. Like King

David, we have served our generation

by the will of God. In other respects

We have let golden opportunities slip

by, unchallenged. ‘It is easy to teach

a little boy. He will believe anything

you tell him. When he is twenty-five

it is not so easy to teach him. When

he is fifty-five it is still more difficult.

This era is yet in the little boy stage.

It is easy to teach the country, or the

world now. It will not be so easy in

twenty years. we can teach this age

disarmament, if we will.

is the use of spending ninety~

three cents.out of every dollar of fed-

eral money for war? And seven cents

for peace, (agriculture, education, com-

merce, etc.) ? This is now being talked

everywhere. Japan, England, the Unit-

ed States are all talking it. In the

Charlestown Navy Yard one may see

the “Constitution,” the famous old

war ship. It is only a plaything now.

In like.manner your children will be

able to enter a museum some day and

look at a battleship, as long as a city

block and as big as a village. Beside

it will rest a huge wasp, called a sub-

marine, its stinger no longer danger-

ous. This will be possible, if the pres-

‘ent agitation against huge armies and

navies islcapitalized, and used to the

full extent..- God opens these doors

from age to age. The fathers made

The U. S. as a Company





The U. S. Company has been so successful and prosper-

ous because of the capable men behind it, this having

been proven time and time again through the satis-

factory settlement of many claims. Those who have

prcsented claims are more than ever convinced of the

benefits received through membcrship in the U. S.

MUTUAL. Just a glance at the officers’ names below

should convince the most skeptical that the ideals

and principles of the U. S. MUTUAL must be right.





The U. S. Mutual Idea





MUTUAL in the sense of UNITED PROTECTION,

THE U. S. protects farmer members without building

a reserve to pay for the city man’s risks, realizing the

low hazards in country driving. Each farmer pays

according to his own risks at actual COST. Extreme

care and judgment is exercised in accepting member-

ships, making this practical. Complete Property and

Personal protection is, consequently, given farmer mem-

bers because the U. S. is only obliged to take care of

losses plus running expense.





Auto Clubs in Each Community





Colonel Augustus H. Gansser, U. S. Director and Gen-

eral Nlanager, is very successfully organizing Motor

Troops throughout the State. These comprise:





A Motor Troop For Each Community.

A Motor Squadron For Each County.

{A Motor Corps For Each State.





This protective feature is working out so beneficially for

U. S. Policy Holders, that Colonel Gansser’s plan meets

with success everywhere. In fact, he is repeatedly

called upon to present his practical idea to foresighted

farmers.

E read much of the tragedy of

old age, but isn’t it rather the

, tragedy of youth? After all,‘

isn’t the tragedysimply the crop which

,youth sowed back there in the spring

of life, and which middle age carefully

tended and brought to h.a1vest time?

Can old age be anything different it cm

the 01011 of habits sown? Can we ex-

pect the miracle to happen at the last,

and all the things which should have

been pruned off years ago to be made

right, just because the person has

grown old? We reap what We sow as

truly in human life as in seed life.

The tragedy of old are is not pov-

erty, but loneliness. And harsh as it

may sound, most old people are lonely

because they are unlovely. And they

are unlovely because they have never

taken pains to make themselves be-

loved.’ Who does try to make himself

agreeable and loved by all, in the days

of youth and strength? We should

worry whether folks like our ways or

not; the world is wide and if one

doesn’t like us what does it matter?

Someone else will. We may not delib-

erately try to be disagreeable, but we

take little pains, in life’s morning

and noon, to be really thoughtful of

others. Indeed it is so seldom that a

person does conscientiously try to be

considerate, that when we meet such

a one it gives cause for remark.

Our thoughtlessness, really our sel.

fishness, doesn’t make much difference

to us while we are strong and able to

,hit back. But in the days of helpless

old age, when we can’t pack up and

,_ leave the things we don’t like, the re-

action is different. The ill-tempers in

which we occasionally indulged earlier

in life has become cantankerousness.

Our firmness of purpose has degener-

ated into pigheadedness. Having nev-

er learned how to adjust ourselves to

'fit into the lives of others, we find it

t00 hard to learn now. We think the

whole world is hard and unfeeling to-

wards the aged, when really it is only

the natural outcome of the life we have

lived. No one can expect the entire

family to dance attendance on his

whims, just because he has grown old.

And no one would expect it in old age

if he had not demanded it in youth.

The only way to escape the tragedy

of old age is to begin to fight it off in

childhood, and keep up the fight right

on through. One family shelters the

,-two sorts of old folks, an old lady of

eighty and a man of seventy-eight.

The woman is the widow of a minis-

ter, and has been in training for old

age ever since she was a girl. NOW,

far be it from me to say that all

clergymen’s wives make it a practice

to make themselves fit their circum-

. stances, and to try toilive with others.

But this one always has been the one

to compromise. Very early in life she

learned that someone has to give up

,7 first if there is friction, and being anx-



focus to help make her husband a sue

éss, she formed the habit of being offi-

' ialgiverjup for the family. She learn-

By Deborah :





get along with folks; all sorts of folks,

pleasant and cranky, rich and poor,

learned and ignorant. She knew that

she couldn’t move on every time she

found a neighbmhood where the folks





' weren’t just to her liking. She moved





when the bishop said she might. And

being a wise woman she didn’t spend

her time in fault-finding; she looked

for the best in everyone.



The old' man in this family didn’t see

life that_way. When he didn’t like

things he told the world, and most of

the time he didn't like anyone or any-

thing. When things got too bad in one

neighborhood for him he moved on to

another, and he has lived in a good

many places.



Now, by a freak of fate these two





folks are thrown under the same roof“





though they are the most remote of

in-laws. The contrast between them

is so marked, that every chance caller





remarks on it. There is no tragedy of

old age about the woman. She is the

bright spot in the family life, always

busy, alwa‘s ' considerate, always

thinking 6i others, full of bright little

anecdotes of folks she has known, and

never asking a. thing for herself. ‘But

the man fairly oozes old age tragedy.

He glowers in his corner, only speale

ing to find fault or make an inconsid-

erate demand for attention. He feels

that he is neglected and abused, be-

cause folks don’t swarm about him as

they do the old lady. It never once

occurs to him that it is his own uni

lovely nature which drives would-be

friends away.





Of course, old age has its hardships"





even for'the bright and cheerful. There

is sickness, pain, sorrow, all” too often





poverty. But mine of these spell trag-‘





edy if one has friends. And friends

can only be had by the making.

The Ideal Kitchen





WONDER if every woman is pos-



sessed with a mania for ripping to



pieces and making over. There’s

the matter of houses. I never moved

into a house—with one exception—

that I didn’t immediately want to

move a few rooms around, stretch

some out and make some. smaller, no

matter how well I thought I was go-

ing to like it before. Especially the

kitchens. Of course, men growl at

this propensity, but that is because

they do not have to do the work. The

reason most‘houses do not suit women

is because a man plans and builds

them. Very seldom do you find a

house planned by a woman. That is

why iii most kitchens the sink is so

low you nearly break your back every

time you wash the dishes. I was in

one the other day where the only way

a woman of medium heighf could ever

make use of the sink would be to sit

down. The cupboards are invariably





'in the wrong corner of a man- -made





kitchen, the stove as far from the .ta-





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





 





ble as it can be put, and the pantry, if

they condescend to give you one at

all, as far from the stove and your ta»

ble as it Can be put



I have had six kitchen workshops

in my housekeeping days, and only

one has suited me. Of course, it was

a city kitchen, but the arrangement.

would be perfectly practical for a coun-

try home. With a washroom adjoin~

ing, it would be large enough, too, for

the real work of a kitchen, preparing

food.



This kitchen was 12x13 feet. The

entry from the living~room was through

a hall, out of which 111 "‘ both cellar

stairs and stairs leading to the upper

rooms. This hall made it possible to

keep the smells of cooking from the

living-room. It opened into the kitch-





.en in the east side, next to the north





wall. From this doorway to the south

wall Were cupboards with two doors,

reaching from floor to ceiling.



In the middle of the south wall

were two windows five feet from the

floor, beneath -which was the sinkg

with pipes going into the Wall instead

of into the floor. This made it easy to

clean around under the sink, as there

were no pipes to catch the dirt back

of them, but this arrangement proved

the one flaw in an otherwise perfect

kitchen. In building, the pipes had

not been perfectly protected from the

cold, and every winter they froze up.

Builders have told me, however, that

this might have been avoided, by pro-

tecting the pipes where they entered

the wall with an extra coat of cold-dev

fying material. I



The sink was high enough from the

floor to allow me to stand upright. In-

deed, I could rest my arms on“ the edge

while I washed dishes. It was large»

enough to hold both dishpans at once.

At the left of the sink, between it and

the cupboards, was a built-in table,

covered with zinc, and with one broad

shelf beneath. This made an ideal

cupboard for dishpans, scouring ”ma,-

terial, extra soap; baking tins, etc. The

remaining space in the bottom of the

cupboards was divided into space for





a flour bin and drawers for dishtowels, r





kitchen aprons, cutlery and paper. I

kept the spices, flavoring, etc., in the

cupboard over the flour bin. ' Without

moving fromthe table I could reach

everything I needed with which to

bake. ‘





At the right of the sink was a wood- .





en drip board, grooved, runnihg :from

sink to west wall.

sto’od the range, and just north ofthe‘





range the door leading into the yard;

Wit-h.





Over this door was a transom.

the transom open and the kitchen win:





dow open a tiny crack at. the bottom, "

odors and steam were sucked outside. '»

Standing at the sink I could by one

strap reach stove or cupboard._ Bamg‘





Along side of' this , .1 '
sitters ‘for liable linen

, 3761‘. Under the, window Was space ‘for

the refrigerator, with Outside drip, and

‘the' clothes chute, ‘for dropping soiled

linen into the laundry in the base-

lment. ' 3‘ . ‘

To me it was an ideal arrangement.

‘ Some women might object to the pan-

‘try betWeen kitchen and dining-room,

1 but the few extra steps it made wue’

to me more than‘offset by the fact

that it edectually shut off a view of

the kitchen from the dining-room, and

also helped to keep out odors. There

was no room in the kitchen for loung-

ers, only space for one chair next the

pantry door, and this was so obviously

in the way that it discouraged visitors

sitting there long. This might also be

a drawback to some women, but if you

are one of the sort who can’t work

‘ and talk, and do not like to stay in the

kitchen forever, it is a good plan.

I always kept a high stool slipped

under the sink board for my own use.

-». .~ It was the work of amoment to pull it

' / ‘ out and sit down to prepare vegetables

_, or fruit for -a meal, or even to dry

, j dishes.

WHEN a city girl feels the need of

money—her own money, to pay

for the things girls imagine they must

have these days—she goes to work in

an office, a store, or a factory, accord-

ingto her education and opportunity.

In the country a girl, with much the

same longings for nice things and

“good times,” looks to the poultry

yard, the milk house, or'the garden for

her spending money. If her parents

are the right kind, if they are intelli-

gent enough to help her and encourage

her in her work, she will soon- estab—

lish herself as a semi-dependent mem-

ber of the family. If, as often happens,

the parents are not disposed to have

returns of $103. 'With the same ex-

pense her sister,’ Fannie, grew 3,020

pounds and had a net return of $107.89.





Ada Rosamond grew 2,803 pounds,





costing $27.42, with a net return of





$76.66; and Ruby Waddell at Bonner-





ville, had 3,070 pounds costing $29.91,

with net returns of $68.





THE SHINING STARS.





ITUATED on the beautiful shores

of Mullet Lake in Cheboygan coun-

ty, Michigan, is the resort village of

Topinabee. In and around this village

lives a happy lot ‘of girls. Perhaps this

such goings-on, and there is no home

demonstration agent, no girls’ club, no

extension Work of any kind in the

community, the country girl goes to

the city and the farming regions have

lost one more potential home and

family.



No doubt exists in the minds of men

and WOmen of large experience in the

extension work carried on by the Unit-

ed States Department ot‘ Agriculture

in cooperation with state agricultural

colleges that the economic appeal is

the entering influence needed in get-

ting their clubs or bureaus started in

rural regions. Once the young people

have learned a way to earn money the

desire for the "things it will buy asserts

itself, and the home betterments and

improved living conditions follow nat-

urally.



Many girls have made, as well as

saved, money, by baking, dress-mak-

ing and millinery work. Home-baked

bread is always in demand if it is good





and in several cases girls have worked,





up a good trade supplying brehd to

town people.



Popcorn culture and canned goods

have helped one Michigan girl to get

started in college, and she is going

back to the farm this summer to rely

on these two things again. In addition

she will have a pickle patch to help





the finances out.





Down in Arkansas a girls’ canning

club started a» contest to determine

which of the members could produce

the most tomatoes at the least ex-





pense, and with the lowest percentage

Valley route, near Hot springs, grew

is because of cool breezes and the

smell of the pine, but I will tell you

the real reason.



Early in June, 1920, someone told

these girls about the Junior Boys’ and

Girls’ Clubs in Michigan. Of course,

they had heard of them before but had

never had one. So one afternoon all

the girls met with a lady who loves

boys and girls and believed in club

work. She told the girls that she

would be willing to be their local lead-

er and then she told them about the

“Projects.” The girls decided to have

a cooking club. All summer long they

met at their leader’s home and learned

about cooking and club work. And had

such a good time. There was the day

they learned to make ice cream, and

at the club picnic these girls surprised

everybody by furnishing the cakes to

go with the ice cream.



They named their club the “Shining

Stars,” and how proud they were when

they learned that one of their mem-

bers, Francis Koviak, was awarded

second place in the state in cooking.



When winter came the Shining Stars

changed to a sewing club. Mrs. Rose

Spencer was again their local leader

and taught them to draft patterns, use

a thimble, select material, etc.



And Miss Vasold, the assistant state

club leader, told the girls how to test

materials and about the correct kind

of shoes to wear She brought some

very interesting pictures to illustrate

her talk on “Shoes. ”



The county club leader, Miss Banks,

told the girls about their Achievement

Day at Wolverine. They held a lantern

show and earned money enough to go.

Their. garments looked so are 5'. neat-





‘. ly arranged on the walls and tables.





And when they learned that Margargt' ,,

Monzo, their secretary, won first place

h the county in sewing, they felt very

happy lndeed- ' ~



And now it’s June again and‘ the

Shining Stars will organize their sec:

and-year cooking club. -—ANN R; BANKS, ,

.Poultry Lessons

33112. G. Kirby





Lesson XV. —P|aris for Enlarging

Business.





HE boy or girl who succeedswith



poultry on a. small scale naturally

thinks of the prospects of developing

a larger business. Such ventures must

be approached with great care. Poul-

try keeping requires capital and the

investments must be properly balanc-

ed so there will be something of ev-

erything. A large incubator means

many hens to lay the eggs and colony

hovers to protect the chicks. -





The large flock means larger feed

bins and more expenses. The Cost of

poultry buildings is quite an item

when large flocks of poultry are own-7'

ed. It is best for the boy or girl to

'manage his enterprise on rather a

small scale as it is then safer and wiTl

require as muchtime as a boy or girl

can spare from school work.



But to grow in knowledge of poul-

try problems is a good aim for the

farm boy or 'girl. How is this done?

First, by reading and studying the

poultry department of the farm paper,

the bulletins of the experiment station

and the good books about poultry cul—

ture that are frequently appearing.



The poultry business changes rapid- .

1y as new ideas are brought forward

and proved practical by the experi-

ment stations and commercial poultry-

men. The boy or girl who likes poul-

try should plan to visit poultry farms

and farm poultry owrfers who make a

special study of their hens.



The information that is constantly

gained by reading and thinking about

poultry problems is very helpful in

managing a flock of birds profitably.

But this information will not be of as

much value unless it can be tried out

at home. The lessons learned by prac—

tical experience will remain long af-

ter much of the book learning has been

forgotten.



An increase in the small flocks of

poultry owned by boys and girls will

mean an increase in their poultry

problems. The editors of their farm

paper and their friends will be glad to

help them to wowed by giving them

all of the practical information they

have learned by experience and can-

stant study.



Poultry owning on a small scale is

a. pleasure to those that like to work

with birds. But it is also a business

capable of producing the cash that can

be turned into clothes, games, vacation

trips and educations. The market for

fine quality eggs is far from being sup. .

plied. And food is never going to be.

as cheap as it was at one time. It





takes work to make poultry profits,





but the boy or girl who likes poultry

will enjoy studying about them and





‘giving them the proper care. This '





will bring success and increase the sat-

isfaction of living on a. farm where

the raising of poultry can be made the

most profitable.



And the boy or girl in the town also

has a chance to succeed with hens be-9

SUMMER SCHOOL AT M. A. c.





URAL education in Michigan is ex-

. pected to take further advance

strides in the future as a result of the

revised and enlarged courses to be giv-

on at the summer session at M. A. C.

from June 20 to July 29.



A demonstration one-room school

will be conducted in connection as a

practice. East

Lansing children of various ages will

be taught subjects to be correlated

with agriculture, nature study and

household art and science. Besides

Profs. W. H. French, and B. J. Ford,

of M. A. 0., Miss Effie Caskey, princi—

pal of the Ionia County Normal, will

assist in giving instruction.



The two most significant courses in

rural education to be offered take up

methods of teaching and the consoli-

dated school. Sanitation, equipment

and organization will be stressed. An-

other course expected to be popular

will be given under the head of gen-

eral science and will take up birds, in-

sects and plants in succession. Prof.

W. B. Barrows, zoology; Prof. R. H.

Pettit, entomology, and Dr. E. A. Bes-

sey, botany, will take charge of the

work.



Special instruction in rural recrea-

tional activities, physical training and

coaching of competitive games will be

given under the leadership of Athletic

Director Chester L. Brewer.



The vocational guidance school will

be continued throughout the summer

term for partially disabled veterans,

training them for farm management,

dairying, poultry husbandry, bee-keep-

ing and extension service.





RED RASPBERRY CULTURE.





(Continued from page 744).

the canes are not headed back in the

fall or properly supported, many of

them may be broken down by snows

and heavy winds. In our experience

rabbits will not injure raspberry canes

but they are very greedy for blackber-

ry canes during the winter and will of—

ten do severe injury to them.



Among the varieties of red raspber-

ries the Cuthbert meets with the most

favor. The canes grow tall and vig-

orous and' produce abundant; crops of

large red berries. They are excellent

in flavor when eaten fresh and make

the finest of jams for Winter. For the

commercial berry patch it is hard to'

beat and for this reason we would rec

ommend it in preference to all other

varieties. ,



The St. Regis Everbearing raspberry

is sometimes planted in home gardens

where it will produce a fair crop at

the regular harvest time and continue

to fruit until fall. But we find that

the berries are inferior to the Cuth-

bert in quality and size. .



When picking raspberries the grow-

er likes to find an abundant crop so

that the boxes will fill rapidly. Then

he'can finish the berry harvest and go

about other work. An overbearing red

raspberry patch is not a satisfactory

commercial proposition according to

our experience, as there is always a

few berries to hunt for—but seldom

enough at one time for profitable pick-

ing. We shall hoe out all of our St.

Regis berries and extend the Cuth-

berts as they are an ideal market crop

and been heavily when berries are

needed during the canning season.



The home berry patch is of greater

value to the farmer. Fruit of some

“kind is needed on the farmer’s table

at all seasons. We know of few crops

of fruit that can be produced quicker

or with more pleasure than red rasp-

berries. They are so expensive on the

market that a farmer will seldom feel

able to buy them for canning. And

the quality of the boxes which have

been jostled during transportation is

never. equal to the home-raisedfruit.

Raspberries and, cream _ for. breakfast;

are-possible on the farm. but in the

city coal; prevents their frequent use.

HE farmer was badly hurt early

in the collapse of— the war bub-

ble, but singularly enough the

farmer’s wife remained relatively im-

mune for a while, as prices on eggs,

butter and poultry all remained at a

high level. One by one these have





‘ bowed to the inevitable and both eggs





and butter are now in the columns of

thoroughly deflated commodities.



The fall in prices of. eggs during

the late winter and spring at 1921 de-

serves to take its place along with

Humptypumpty’s great fall in the-

chronicles of eggdom. Almost eyery

circumstance that could prepare the

way for a spectacular decline was

present in the situation.



The 1919-1920 egg season was a mon-

ey-making one for both producers and

storers. The outcome was an increase,

estimated at twenty-five per cent or

more, in the number of fowls raised in

the spring of 1920. But the number of

eggs stored was below normal so that

prices became veryfihigh last fall- and

early winter. When grainprices drop-I

ped and eggs remained high, the re-

turns from eggs were so much larger

than from sales of grain at the elevat-

ors that production was further stimu-





. lated. At times a dozen of eggs would





bring as much as two or three bushels

of grain.



The winter was one of the mildest

on} record, VWith a' mean temperature

about ten degrees above normal. "To

make the picture complete, the spring"

weather arrived unusually early. Much

balmy weather occurred in February

and March even in northern states.

The situation was ideal for the heavy

production of eggs and the spring in-

crease appeared early. Southern eggs

began to show up first, then Pacific

Coast eggs, but early in March, nearly

a month ahead of normal, they began

,to come from all sections and the mar-

kets were flooded with them. The four

chief cities actually received more

eggs by over ten thousand cases dur-

ing the first half of March this year

than in the first half of April, 1920.

Total storage holdings on April 1,

which usually marks the start of the

storage season, were 1,831,000 cases

this year, against 121,733 cases last

year.



The light stocks of storage eggs ac-

cumulated in the spring of 1920 pre-

vented any pressure of excess supplies

from showing up early last winter. At

the four leading cities, Chicago, New

York, Philadelphia and Boston, cold

storage holdings were only 1,099,053





SOme Habi





ENS seem to each have an indi-

viduality of their own much the

same as all farm animals. Some

hens are scary and will Squawk and

fly with every fright, while other hens

will busily scratch and sing and pay

little attention to minor disturbances.

The busy hens with peaceful disposi-

tions are apt to be the best'layers.



Hens seem to depend upon their in—

stincts to get along and we have never

obtained direct evidence of any great

use of brain power by a hen. At an

early age small chicks will spy a hawk

at a great distance away. The old hen

will call them‘and they will run for

protectibn. The roosters have a pe—

culiar call which always means hawks.

When this call is sounded even the

dog has reasoned out that it means a

ham: and he runs out and— begins

watching the sky to locate the bird-

But the dog, according to our opinion,

After reaching bottom, prices recow

ered slightly and then held relatively

steady for a number of weeks. Eggs

Suitable for storage have been absorhv

ed readily, weather conditions became

less favorable for production in late

April and early May and lower prices

were less attractive to producers



At first, storers in large markets

were skeptical as to whether prices

had reached bottom and the bulk of

the storing was done‘by country deals

ers who were more optimistic and

prices at some of the smaller points

were above those in large cities. When

further declines failed to develop con«

fidence became more general.



The market has had a setback or two

as the storage stocks have cont/11111:»:

to accumulate and some holders be-

came afraid that if the rate of produc«

tion were ”maintained there would 'be

a. surplus of storage eggs over norm-.1;

needs during the cgming fall ~ 1d win»

”ter. The season is not yet complete

so that the matter must remain unde~

termined. Storage. holdings on May 1

were 4,918,000 cases, compared with

2,135,000 cases on May 1 last year.

During April, the net storagw was 2,-~

773,000 cases. In April last year net

storage was only 1,304,000 cases. The

excess this year was due to increased

production rather than decreased con.

sumption.



Does a heavy early lay mean a light-

er production later in the season?

The scientists are disposed to answer

affirmatively but the natural law may

work out differently in a. commercial

way.





ts of Hens

poultry seem_to have the power given

to them by instinct.

A hen will fly over a fence and then





at night she will walk back and forth\ '





trying to enter the yard until it be-

comes dark and she rests outside the

fence to spend the night. It never

seems to occur to the bird that she

might fly back as easily as she came

over. Some hens will run back find

forth trying to go\ through a fence





when the gate is open Within three or ‘

four feet of the place they are trying '





to pass. They never figure out .the

best way of getting through in a

quick and sensible manner.

Shine hens have a mania for hiding

house is built, place even a couple of

soap boxes full of straw in the corner

castor all two hours later. Medicate

dog twice a. Week. until you fail to find

Warts on Teats.—I have a cow that

has warts on one of her teats. J. S.

P., Davisburg, Mich—Clip off the long

warts. apply olive oil after milking‘her

twice daily. '



Caked Udder.—One-half of my cow’s

udder.is caked, three of her teats milk

fairly well, but the other is blocked.

W. F. 0., East Leroy, Mich.—-—-Apply'one

part iodine and ten parts fresh hard to

caked portion of udder and to blind

teat, once a day.



Sore Eye—We have a cow that has

an inJured eye, the lower corner is the

part that was hurt. We applied white

vitriol "rid water. Part of eye" ball

has escaped. She is not sick,~ gives

plenty of milk and is thrifty. C. W.

remedy to wounds daily. «

WHEAT





Wheat prices have been fluctuating

rapidly over a wide range during the

last ten days. Exp01te1s continue to

buy the July delivery at Chicago

against sales of new ‘grain for defer1 ed

shipment to Europe while rains in the

southwest have led to fear of a delay-

ed harvest. Most of the new wheat

marketed in July and August is ex-

pected to go to the gulf for export and

the behavior of prices will be influenc-

ed largely by the size of this early.

movement. New export demand has

been curtailed by a break of about 320

in sterling exchange from the high

point attained in May. Clearances re-

main large while the visible supply is

small and continues to shrink. Stocks

in millers’ hands and in country ele—

vators also_ are unusually light while

it is conservatively estimated that ex-

port sales for July shipment total at

least 20,000,000 bushels. The wheat

situation is more confused than usual

at this season when the readjustment

from the old to the new crop basis is





. about to begin. Foreign economic con-





ditions are anything but satisfactory,

the slump in foreign exchange is puz-

zling, industrial conditions in our own

country are passing through another

wave of pessimism and foreign coun—

tries are apparently trying to influence

prices over here by propaganda to the

effect that their wheat requirements

for the coming year will be greatly re-

duced. Another factor of great im-

portance in the equation will be the

disposition of growers to sell immedi-

ately after harvest or to hold until lat-

Reports generally in-

dicate that they will do the former.





CORN





Continued heavy receipts of corn

eventually became more than the mar-





‘ket could absorb, especially when the





'-both corn and oats





break in exchange reduced the export

demand. Producers have ceased to sell

freely and the movement will rapidly

decline as soon as the country elevat-

ors} have been emptied.





OATS





The oats market has been depressed

by the government’s forecast on the

new crop, combined with the large car—

ryover. Domestic demand is not brisk

and export business is still absent but

are extremely

cheap and the recent decline seems to

have about run its course.





BEANS





The Michigan bean market is higher





1





and advancing, due primarily to light



F'receipts rather than heavy demand.

Remaining holdings are supposed to

be light. "Demand is slow as uSual in

‘ lint weather.



" beans in the





Prices to growers for

dirt are about $340





tops. $8.30 for one load; heavy,





FEEDs





Wheat feeds declined sharply during

the past week, especially at Minneap-





00115 and Kansas City, but eastern mar-





kets are also lewer than a week ago.

Oil meal ranged higher with cotton-

Seed meal showing little change.





HAY





The go’vernment’s estimate of the

hay crap as of June 1 was 101,000,000

tons compared with an average of 104,-

000,000 during the last six years. This

estimate caused moderate firmness in

hay markets during the past week but

prices were not changed materially.

Values, especially upon alfalfa, timo~

thy and clover hay, still seem likely

to work lower. Prairie hay already is

extremely cheap.





WOOL - .





Lessened activity in eastern wool

markets, increased buying of ‘western

w’ools, and broad demand at foreign

auctions with Australian prices firm

and London advancing ten per cent on

Merinos over May levels, describes the

wool situation. The foreign activity

is especially encouiaging as it indi-

cates increased consumption by conti

nental Europe which a recent analysis

of the bureau of markets shows to be

the factor most needed to lestore the

balance between world production and

consumption of wool. The woolen

goods trade in this country remains in

an excellent state. Consumers still

resist higher prices and, since the

present rate of production is equal to

or slightly greater than the rate of

consumption, competition for business

is expected to prevent much advance

in prices, notwithstanding the emer»

gency tariff on wool fabrics.



Stocks of wool in manufacture1s’

hands on March 31 as reported by the

bureau of markets were 223, 777, 000

pounds, compared with 196,082,000

pounds on the same date in 1920. The

@alers held 244, 516, 000 pounds, com-

paied with 175,187, 000 pounds a year

ago. Imports duiing April totaled 65,-

336,247 pounds and consumption by





mi-lls during the same month were 46,

253,000 pounds which was an increase

of 5, 500,000 pounds over March and

practically a pre-war average rate.-

quarter- -blood unwashed 266.





EGGS AN D~ POULTRY





Receipts of eggs at the leading mar-

kets are running behind those of last

year, indicating that heavy production

during the late winter and early spring

is being offset by decreased production

now. Prices have become more firm

with! fears of $ surplus of eggs dissi-

pating. Preli' inary figures on cold

storage holdings on June 1' as reported

by the bureau of markets are 6,850,000

cases compared with 5,143,000 cases a

year ago and a five-year average of

5, 251, 000 cases. Poultry prices are

gradually declining. Receipts of dress-

ed poultry at the four leading cities

last week were 75 per cent larger than

in the co1responding week last year.



Latest quotations were as follows:

Detroit.—~4Eggs'fresh candied at 24@





241/zc. Live poultry, hens at 25@26c;

roosters 14@16c; turkeys 300; broil-

ers 45@500.





BUTTER





Higher prices have been the rule

on butter markets during 'the past

week, although all of the advance was

not retained when speculative and

storage buying subsided“ Receipts in-

creased materially but most of the

time demand outran the supply. The

percentage of high—grade butter ran

higher than usual. :Preliminary re-

ports upon the cold storage holdings

for June 1 point to an increase of near-

ly 8,000,000 pounds over the same date

last Year. However, the season was

late a year ago and holdings did not

YE in’wheat is'a rdbber and

takes its toll from the farmer in

that it decreases both the yield





'and quality of the wheat crop. At this

n time of the year rye in wheat is a.





weed taking sunlight, moisture, and

plant food that rightly belongs to the

growing Wheat plants. In so doing

the rye is each day robbing the wheat

plants of the things essential to their

growth with the result that, it is reduc-

ing the productiveness of ‘the wheat

crop, which. means a decreased yield

at harvest time.



Unfortunately, we usually do not cal-

culate the toll of the robber rye, in so

far as it reduces the yield of the

wheat, but in manketing the grain we

may very readily compute the actual

loss caused by the rye in reducing the

quality of the wheat as it reaches the

elevator, terminal, or seaboard market.



On July 15, 1918, the official grain

standards of the United States for

wheat became effective and are now

applied to shipmepts which move in

interstate commerce or are consigned

for export trade. With the advent of

the Michigan Elevator Exchange, a

farm bureau organization, Michigan is

now shipping carloadg of wheat direct-

ly to the seaboard to be forwarded to

European points. This grain is sub-

Rye in Wheat is Costly





By A. L. szbzm





Extcmiaa Speaalirt, M. A. C.





 





ject to the. federal standards and Mich;

igan farmers and dealers of wheat

may suffer losses due to the presence

of such material ~as rye in the wheat.



The main factors considered in grad-

ing wheat are weight, moisture, dam-

aged kernels, foreign material other

than 'dockage, and wheats of other

classes. Dockage which is material

readily separated by the use of the or-

dinary cleaning machinery, does not

effect the numerical grade of wheat—

but inseparable foreign material, i. e.,

foreign material other than dockage,

plays an important roll in the grade

assigned and subsequent price paid for

our wheat.



Rye, cockel, chess, wild buckwheat,

etc., are considered foreign material,

and the federal standards are quite ex-

acting concerning the limitations of

them as will be seen in the following

table where the percentages, refer to

foreign material other than dockage,





Other



‘ Than



Total. Cereals.



Grade. Per Ct. Per Ct.

1 1 0.5

2 2 1.0

3 3 2.0

4 5 3.0

5 7 5.0





This means that wheat to grade No.

1 must not have more than one per

cent inseparable foreign material and

of that one per cent only one-half may

be material other than cereal grains,

such as cockel, chess, etc. A large

percentage of Michigan wheat grades

No. 2 because of the test weight being

between fifty-eight and sixty pounds

per bushel.



If the analysis of fifty-nine-pound

wheat shOuld show over two per cent

foreign material other than dockage,

then the wheat would grade No. 3 and

sell at three to seven cents below the

market, which in many cases is a need-

less loss to the farmer.



The writer has just completed a trip

through some sixteen counties of low-

er and central Michigan and has been

struck by the fact that there is in

some localities an amazingly large per-

centage of rye in the wheat. If this

be allowed to mature, it will lower the

quality of wheat to such a point that

the cost to the grower will amount to

$1.50 to $2.00 an acre. Add to this fig-

ure the loss in yield, approximately a

peck to the acre, caused by the rye,

and it will be found that one may

make a mighty good day’s wages pull-

ing rye out of wheat.



It will pay every wheat grower to





'go through the wheat and cut or pull





the rye out. The quicker the better,

for each day the rye plants are cutting

down the yield of the wheat. This rob-

ber should ‘be checked now, and the

plant food given to the adjacent wheat

plants. If this impurity be rogued out

the wheat will go on the market safe

from any cut in price due to the pres-

ence of inseparable foreign material,

with the result that the grower re-

ceives the true value of his wheat and

is not penalized because of the need-

less robber-rye.

The Plain Truth

about these Low Prices





First let us say that we believe you will~never

again buy tires at such low prices—unless there:

is some great discovery of a new way of making tires. -



‘ Just consider that before the war, rubber was, 60:

cents per pound and formerly it was $1. 10 per pound. "

During the war, rubber actually went down to 50

cents per pound. '



Last spring the tire business was demoralized. .'

Rubber went to 18 cents per pound. . Cotton broke

from 40 cents per pound to 12 cents. It is said that ‘I f '

40,000 people moved away from Akron—the great ;

tire making city. ‘A .I



And there, with everything at the low mark,

was the opportunity we are always looking for,

with cash in hand, to secure a saving for our

customers.
