Does Your Farm Need Lime?





Dr. M0 Cool ofM 14 . C. Tel/5 Wflere in Micfligmz Lime is Essential

Succesifu/ Crop Production





I0





T is now well known that there are large



areas of the lighter soils, or the loams,



and sands, of Michigan that require the

addition of lime in order to secure seedings

and satisfactory growths of alfalfa and 010

vers, especially the June clover, sweet clo-

ver and mammoth clover. Crops other than

'the legumes when grown on some of these

lands are also benefited by the addition of

this material. There is a gradual but con-

stant increase in the use of lime on the

heavier ‘types of soil, especially those that

have been farmed for a number of years.

Those who have studied this ‘





Where the sandy layer is shallow over the

heavy subsoil the lime requirement is not so

great, and usually the heavy soils of this

area produce luxuriant growth of clovers

and alfalfa without the addition of lime. The

heavy soils of these areas show some very

striking and important conditions. Usually

there is a, high percentage of carbonate of

lime that lies within fourteen to eighteen

inches of the surface, whereas the carbonate

of lime is not found in the deep sandy soils.

Lime Benefits the Rotation.

It is usually advisable to lime the soil for





the entire rotation of crops, or perhaps more

than one rotation, rather than for a particu-

lar crop unless one is to grow alfalfa for a

number of years on the same piece of land.

In numerous instances lime applied to the

soil has not resulted in very striking in-

creases in yields of the grain crops and

some users have been disappointed or dis-

couraged in the results thus obtained. Under

such conditions the use of lime, if looked

upon primarily for the benefit of such crops,

would be a losing investment. 0n the other

hand, when it is considered that the legum-

inous crops must have it for

their production and that the





 





situation usually agree that it

is not possible to secure sat-





~isfactory stands of the clo-





vers and alfalfa on. many of

the heavy lands without the

use of lime in some form.

The sketch map'of Michi‘

gan that appears on Page 41

outlines ina general or broad

way the lime situation as we

have found it in the lower

peninsula. Within each of

the divisions indicated on this

map there are numerous ex-

ceptions, for example, in

group one the soil as a whole

produces the clovers without

lime, yet the sandy plains are

usually sour and the use of

lime should be-profitable. The

soils of group two, as a gen-

eral rule, are deficient in lime

yet the till plains carrying

heavy subsoils are sweet. The

soils of group three have a

medium lime requirement al-

though the low-lying lands

that are high in organic mat-

ter, such as the ash and elm

soils and some gravelly hill-

sides or slopes, as well as

some of the fields that have

been under cultivation only a

short period of years are not

in need of lime at the present

time. In group four occur ‘





‘ some very sour soils and the





exceptions are similar to

those of group one although

not so extensive. In the Old.

Lake Bed which includes the

Saginaw... Thumb and south}

western: Michigan ‘areas, the

lime requirementof the deep

presence of these in the rota,—

tion result in great benefit to

the other crops it must be

concluded that the lime is

beneficial, both directly and

indirectly, throughout the ro~

tation.



Lime May Not Bring Best



Results First SEason.



The amount of rainfall has

an important bearing on the

results that may be obtained

from lime the first season it

is applied. It‘ the lime is ap

plied to a very sour soil in

the spring of a low precipita—

tion, the results are some-

times disappointing. We must

recognize that in order for

the lime to benefit the soil by

decreasing the sourness and

by improving the tilth or

structure of the soil that suit—

able amounts ol.’ water must

be present, and if deficient

the season the lime is ap-

plied, the benefits may not

reach their maximum.



We recently had this very

strikingly called to our atten-

tion in some of our experi-

ments on the Cass County

Fertility projects. In 1916, G.

M. Grantham treated several

portions of this field with

three tons of pulverized lime-

stone per acre. No applica~

tions have been made since

that time. In May, 1920, an

adjacent area was limed at

the rate of three tons of this

material per acre, and'both

areas were plowed and the

CURRENT COMMENT





HE question of

tax-exempt secur-





Tax ities is coming to be

Exempt a serious one in this

Securities country. Economists





are directing atten-

tion to the alleged fact that capitalists

are very generally investing their

funds in this class of securities at the

favorable interest rates now available

in preference to investing them in in-

dustrial enterprises, for the reason

that for the man with a large income

tax-free securities which will return

from five and a half to six per cent in-

terest are more attractive than an in

dustrial investment which returns fif-

teen to seventeen per cent. This is

undoubtedly true in View of the fact

that securities of this class are gener-

ally in the absolutely safe class, while

industrial investments are dependent

upon many and varied business fac-

tors over which the investor has scant

control for the revenue which they

may produce. ’



This matter has recently been

brought forcibly to the attention of

Michigan people through the soldiers’

bonus legislation. The soldiers’ bonus

bill passed by the first special session

of the legislature did not make the

bonds by the sale of which the money

for the payment of soldiers’ bonuses

was to be raised, fully tax—exempt. Ap-

parently the financiers to whom the

governor appealed for the subscripf

tions needed to make funds available

for payment to soldiers, made it quite

clear-that there would be nothing do~

ing until this oversight had been cor—

rected, with the result that the legis-

lature was again called in special ses-

sion for that purpose. Incidentally in

this connection the legislators made

the session profitable to themselves by

fixing the date for final adjournment

so far ahead as to give them about

$100 each for the two days’ work of

the special session, which, in addition

to the legal mileage collected has

made a notable addition to their

“economy” record. True, the session

has been technically extended by mak-

ing July 19 the date of final adjourn-

ment in order that they may be called

back if necessary in case suitable bids

for the short term noted to provide

Mediate funds for the payment of

bonuses are not forthcoming, hence

they will be technically insession ,un-

' til that date and thus “carning’.’ their.

ems. compensation.



This. is. but one incident of thou-





.times‘ inf-ho matter of "taxonompt no

written, billions 'or dollars" worth of

which have been issued annually dur-





ing recent years for . public purposes. .





It. is mentioned as the most recent ex-

ample of this trend and not as a basis

fer criticism for the action in this case.

Unquestionably, the soldiers’ should in

paid their bonus money at the earlies1

possible moment, in accord with th(

expressed desire of a large majority 01

the electors of the state, and unques-

tionably this could not be accomplish

cd without making these securities tax

exempt. It is unfortunate that this

fact was overlooked when the bill was

passed, but if the incident serves to

direct public attention to this question





of the indiscriminate issuance of tax— .





exempt securities for the general pur-

pose of making public improvements it

may be a fortunate circumstance. This





question is one worthy of the most,





careful economic analysis, particularly

‘ URING the past





, - few years com-

Controllmg paratively little time

Tw’g has been devoted to

Blight fighting twig-blight in

. the orchards of. the

state. This has been due in part to





the limited evidence of the disease and

perhaps in a larger measure to the

lack of labor for performing what at

best is a disagreeable task. Dr. Coons,

bacteriologist of the Michigan Agricul-

tural College, has just returned from

several days’ inspection of orchards in

he fruit~growing sections of the state

where he observed that trees are un-

usually hard hit by the disease this

year, due‘to a lack of care the past

few years and to the heavy growth of

wood the past two months. He is pre-

paring a special article for this jour-





Tarifl Bill





T /ze flguz'cu/tum/ Scheduler





HE permanent tariff bill was in-



troduced in the house of repre-



sentatives on June 29th by Con-

gressman Joseph W. Fordney, of Mich-

igan. In bringing the bill before the

house, Mr. Fordney said: “The mem-

bers of the ways and means commit-

tee have worked industriously every

day, Sundays excepted, since the sixth

day of January in the framing of this

bill. I hope when it is finally enacted

into law it will be generally accepted

by\ the people.” This bill is expected

to yield as high as $700,000,000 in rev-

enue a year. In the agricultural sched-

ules the farmers did not get all they

asked for, but it is evident that they

are given all they could expect from

the present congress. Here are, the

‘ year at the Annapolis Royal,





‘money invested by the grower.





HERE are, roughly, four control-

lable factors governing the yield

of potatoes, namely,’ fertilizer,

cultivation, seed and spraying. Many

growers obtain the best seed available

and fertilize and cultivate in the best

possible manner, and yet neglect the

spraying, which is most important of

all. Experiments demonstrate beyond

a doubt that $12 spent in spraying is

worth twice as much as a ton of 4-8-10

fertilizer in increasing the yield of po-

tatoes. ’



According to experiments held last

Nova

Scotia Station, around one hundred

bushels per acre increase Was obtain-

ed from the use of $40 worth of fertil-

izer, or the increased crop resulting

from the uSe of fertilizer cost forty

cents per bushel. The increase in crop





, due to spraying ran over two hundred





bushels per acre and cost less than

$14, or an increased crop due to spray-

ing cost around seven cents per bush-

e_l on the acre plots.



The unsprayed field gave 221 bush-

els per acre and the sprayed 398. A

difference due to spraying of 177 bush-

els, or the increased crop was obtain-

ed at a cost of less than nine cents per

bushel. Although there are some in

the modern farm ranks who decry the

value of fertilizer in boosting potatoes

along, we do not need to take that po-

sition exactly, but rather to appreciate

the fact that the spray is more valu-

able than the fertilizer, the latter be-

ing, however, useful in its place.



We may believe in the use of plenty

of high-grade fertilizer, but let us not

fail to emphasize the value of spray-

ing, which costs less than one-fifth as

much per acre as fertilizer and gives

twice as great returns or is ten times

as valuable, considering the amount of

The

results mentioned were achieved in

the Maritime district of Canada, where

late blight is prevalent, and the differ-

ence would not be so marked in sec—

tions where this disease is not found,

though the proportions would still fa-

vor spraying.



Bordeaux mixture is, of course, the



spray for the potato. During the past

few years many growers have found it

advisable to increase the strength of

the mixture as the season advances.

Starting with 4-4-40, the second spray

should be 5-5-40 and the third and later

sprays 6—6-40. The spraying should





‘ start when the plants are six inches





high in order to control the potato

beetles and blight. As an absolutely

safe and fool-proof poison for potatoes

there is nothing better than arsenate

of lime, one and one-half pounds to

forty gallons of Bordeaux. There are

two brands of arsenate of’soda on the

market, arsenoid and sol-arsato. Both

are excellent poisons in Bordeaux and





‘cost about the same as arsenate of





lime. White arsenic, also, is a good

potato poison.



White arsenic and hydrate lime,

equal parts, is the cheapest of all ar-

sonicals. The value of such a. mixture

has been thoroughly demonstrated on





'several farms. The directions for mak-

ing this new mixture must be followed

_ closely, for there is danger .in using

poison straight or not in conjunction-

» with Bordeaux, or in any manner but

”exactly as recommended. The great

saving, however, that results; from its

‘ use makes it worth while for all potato

”growers to learn how to use it.





The

cost is about eneriifth that of other

mately that of Paris green or lead ar-

senate. In addition, one has a better

sticker than Paris green, a more rapid

killer than lead arsenate, and the fun-

gicidal value of Bordeaux as well.

The method of procedure is as fol-

lows: To each ten gallons of water

intended for bluestone stock solution,

add two pounds of the mixture (equal

parts of white arsenic and hydrated

lime) poison, stir this in and then into

this dissolve ten pounds of bluestone.

This will make a green precipitate. Al-

ways stir before using. Use this green

mixture as if it were a solution of

bluestone, each gallon containing one

pound in solution. Add the proper

quantity of lime and test with litmus

in making Bordeaux just as though no

poison were in the bluestone solution.

Bordeaux, control the potato beetles.



Apply at least eighty gallons of poi-

soned Bordeaux in the strength men-

tioned per acre, and apply the spray

at intervals of from ten days to two

weeks from the time the plants are six

inches high until they die of old age

or the frost kills them. If the weather

is damp and rainy, spray oftener; if

dry, make the intervals two weeks. If

your sprayer will only apply sixty gal-

lons per acre per application, use it at

intervals of from seven to ten days

apart. If you have a hand-sprayer

that only applies forty gallons per

acre, go over the field twice at each

application.



When using poison, apply the poi-

soned Bordeaux when the bugs are

just beginning to appear. It takes a

lot less arsenic to kill a small bug

than a half—grown one. Above all, use

common sense and judgment in spray-

NUMBER of farmers and their



wives, also several young people,



on their farms in northern and

southern Michigan, have repeatedly

ciation. Some of the farmer folks say

they. did not take the tour last, and

cannot get away this year, but they

are greatly interested in the organiza—

tion and wish to join, providing the

They also declare that touring and

camping is rapidly becoming the ideal

vacation stunt looked forward to by

nearly every farmer and his family

who have an automobile. ‘

June 22-23 was a wonderful treat and

a complete success. There were sev-

enty-three cars present on the camp

ground. And since last August some

of the 1920 tourists have made various

improvements in their equipment. Vis-

itors were astonished at the quality of

the tents, beds and cooking conven-

iences, and the comfort provided in

and around the cars of the tourists

whowent to Mackinac last year.



The tour organization was complet-

ed, a constitution and by-laws adopted,

and the dues placed at fifty cents a

year. There are no fees for joining,

The place of holding the tour asso-

Niagara Falls the middle of July, the

other and main tour to go up the west

year.

ing. \Don’t think that applying forty

gallons per acre once or twice through

the season will grow a large crop of

potatoes. Such spraying often eases a

man’s conscience and enables him to

say that he has sprayed, without break-

any of the commandments, but in or-

der to control insects and blights suc-

‘cessfully there must be a certain

amount of copper andacertain amount

of arsenic applied to each acre, and it

must be renewed often enough so that

a continuous protection is afforded to

the" plant.

Controlling Potato Aphids.



In 1918, and again during 1920, there

was a very severe outbreak of“ potato

aphids in northwestern states, which

went as far north as New Brunswick.

The potato aphis not only does agreat

deal of damage in the years when it is

present, but it is the carrier of mo-

saic, so its injury continues for years

after outbreaks through the increased

amount of mosaic caused by it. Po-

tato aphids also render plans suscepti-

ble to Bordeaux injury, and in 1920

there were many complaints in various

sections of Bordeaux mixture and cop-

per arsenic dust burning plants. This

injury is all secondary, and as a mat-

ter of fact, when a plant becomes so

infested with aphids as to be suscep-

tible to Bordeaux burning, it is past

storing tubers, and therefore useless.

Although there was burning there was

no monetary loss.



Potato aphids hibernate for the most

part on the rose plant, both wild and

cultivated. Root out all of the wild

rose bushes in the neighborhood of po-

tato fields and spray cultivated roses

in the spring, about the time the first

potatoes are coming up, with black

leaf 40 at the rate of a tablespoonful

to a bucket of water.





The potato aphis is one of the in- ’





sects, in the control of which steps

must be taken before the outbreak oc-

curs. In other words, controlling potato

aphids is like insurancewyou buy your

protection not knowing whether you

will need it or not. ‘



To control aphids use one pint of

black leaf 40 to each one hundred gal-

lons of Bordeaux and apply at a. high

pressure and with an up—spray. The

spray must hit the insect in order to

kill. Apply black leaf 40 with the first

two or three applications of Bordeaux.

It is particularly advisable for growers

of seed potatoes to spray thoroughly

for potato aphids. In no other way can

they hope to keep down mosaic in

years of aphis outbreaks.





Few realize the immense amount of '





damage that is caused by the small,

black flea beetles that are found hop-

ping about the potato for the first few

weeks after it comes through the

ground, in districts where this pest is

prevalent. This insect tends to stunt

the potato’s early growth, and when

prevalent, will reduce the acreage yield

by one hundred bushels. In one case,

where the beetles were controlled be-

side a plot on which they were al-

lowed to run wild, the increased yield

was nearly one hundred and forty





bushels, from flea beetle control alone. "





The best treatment is to apply a re-

pellant, and for this Bordeauxxis the

best yet known. No poison is required

in flea beetle control as they absolute-

ly refuse to eat a plant that is coated

with Straight Bordeaux.



If flea beetles are plentiful on pota-





toes when they first appear, apply a‘





good coat of 4-4-40 Bordeaux, Continue





this every week up until the middle of _

DIRECTOR OF STATE FARM BU-

REAU OF DAIRYING.





 





R. H. D. WENDT, general secre«



tary of the Michigan Allied Dairy

Association, has been‘appointed act-

ing director of the Bureau of Dairying

of the new State Department of Agri-

culture in Michigan. To Mr. Wendt

goes the credit for organizing and ef—.

fecting the unity of purposes existing

in the dairy industry in Michigan. No

other State in the Union has such a

complete dairy organization as that of

the Michigan Allied Dairy Association

which embraces all phases of dairying

in the state. Mr. Wendt became con—

nected with the State Dairy and Food

Department in Michigan in 1913 in the

capacity of a dairy manufacturing

specialist, and in 1917 was. appointed

chief of the dairy division of the de-

partment. Mr. Wendt is a member of

the board of directors of the National

Dairy Council and superintendent of

the dairy department of the Michigan

State Fair.





PROF. HUNT VISITS EUROPE.





 





ATCH Russia. I do not mean



politically but economically. The

world, the human race is more de-

pendent upon economic rehabilitation

and direction of Russian agriculture

than upon any other single material

factor in the world,” is the message

to the American farmer from Thomas

F. Hunt, of the College of Agriculture

of the University of California, who

has just returned from Europe where

he spent considerable time studying

European agriculture, especially its re-





lationship to the future of farming in

America. Dean Hunt’s statement was

made before the executive committee

of the American Farm Bureau Federa-

tion at its recent session at Chicago.



“I do not mean that the American

farmer is necessarily going to. suffer

when Russia comes back,” said Dean

Hunt, “but the direction that our agri-

culture will take will be affected by

the time and the way when Russia

comes back. More than 150,000,000

Russian people are involved in that

comeback. The American farmer who

does not adjust himself to this new or-

der is the one who is going to lose out-

It is the, most important thing. Watch

Russia and study her. g



f‘The greatest single need of the

American farmer today is adequate

credit. For the good of the whole na-

tion he should have improved credit

facilities. After most great wars, there

has been an upset of agricultural own-

ership in the countries affected. Land-

lordism in England arose after previ-

ous great wars, primarily because the

little farmer did not have sufficient

credit to carry on his work econom-

ically."





WOOL POOL ACTIVITIES IN

OTHER STATES.





 





C. J. Fawcett, director of the wool

marketing department of the Ameri-

can Farm Bureau Federation declares

that the amount of wool pooled in the

American Farm Bureau Federation or

any other pool will be determined very

largely by the financial condition, as

the majority of sheep in the western

country are covered by a mortgage





which is effeCtive on the wool.



The Utah Farm Bureau wool pool

has reached approximately a half mil-

lion pounds and additional shipments

are being made daily according to an

announcement by D. D. McKay, chair-

man of. the marketing committee of

the Utah State Farm Bureau and Utah

Wool Growers, Inc.





WOOLEN MILLS MORE ACTIVE.





 





ITH woolen mills of the country



running at sixty per cent of nor-

mal capacity as a whole, many of them

stocked up with orders which will

keep them busy well into the winter

and others putting on night shifts,

things are looking better for the wool

industry, says A. J. Hankins, director

of the State Farm Bureau wool pool.

Another cause for optimism on the

part of wool growers, according to Mr.

Hankins, is the fact that generally

lower prices for clothing and the reap-

pearance of quality fabrics at what the

consumer considers 1). reasonable cost

is fast breaking what has been com-

monly termed the buyers' strike. The

result is an increased movement of

raw wool.



Farmers are helping themselves by

pushing vigorously the marketing of

their own wool pool, both in the raw

and manufactured form. Within the

past two weeks the State Farm Bureau

wool pool has sold 200,000 pounds of

wool and is preparing to moveJarge

lots “of the 1921 clip. Two million

pounds of Michigan wool has been

pooled and graded to date and the

farm bureau now believes that the pool

will go to 4,000,000 pounds. That would





mean that seventy-five per cent of the

state’s clip would be in the pool. The

emergency tariff is declared to have

stopped foreign wool imports and to

have relieved the wool situation.



Six grading teams are now covering

the state for the farm bureau. “7001

continues to come in at the rate of

360,000 pounds a week. Grading dates

for the week of July 11 follow:



Monday.—Kaleva, Gladwin, Holly,

Chelsea and Marcellus.



Tuesday—Cedar, West Branch, Hol-

ly, Dexter and Lawrence.



Wednesday—Rose City, Oxford, Sa.

line or Bridgewater and Martin.



Thursday.—Kalkaska, Prescott, Ox-

ford and Hillsdale.



Friday.——Lake City, Pinconning,

South Lyon and Montgomery.



Saturday.——Antrim County, Sterling

or Standish, Plymouth and Adrian.





FARM BUREAU MEMBERSHIPS.





 





On March 4, 1920, which marks the

launching of the national organization,

the farm bureau membership totalled

456,000. On December 1 of the same

year this total had increased to 744,401

and the last accounting on June 1

showed the remarkable total of 1,-

052,114.



Iowa has the largest. farm bureau

membership in the American Farm

Bureau Federation which is 118,000.

Illinois is second with over 110,000;

Ohio and Texas each have ever 100,-





000, while Michigan and Indiana. fol-.





low \with nearly 100,000 each. The

American Farm Bureau Department of

organization has set its quota at 1,250.-

TREATM ENT FOR LICE.





 





How blue ointment made and

whe1e shiuld it be put on chickens to

cc-nt1ol lice? I have chicks that dump

around, their eyes swell and they

scratch their heads with their feet, but

when examined no lice can be found

on them. Do you think it is lice or

mites that are bothering them? A

great many have died—G. C. B.



. The mercurial ointment commonly

called blue ointment, can usually be

purchased at any drug store or-tne

druggist can order it from his whole-

sale house. Tl1c cost of the material

can be reduced by mixing the blue

ointment with equal parts of low—grade

vaseline. Place a small dab of the

ointment beneath the vent and rub it

in thoroughly. Additional protection

is secured by placing a light smears

beneath each wing. Blue ointment is

posionous and must not be left where

stock can reach it. We have found

one application to give protection from

:ifce'for six months and otfen longer.



' ‘f-f young chicks have swollen eyes

and seem lacking in vigor it may be

due to colds caused by overcrowding.

ftbey have head live but ten cents





worth of sweet oil and add about ten

drops of carbolic acid. Shake the so-

lution before using and apply a light

dab to the head of each chick to kill

the lice. Mites may become intrench-

ed in brood coops and pester chicks

or they may breed on the roosts in

colony houses. They can be killed by

spraying with one of the commercial

coal~tar disinfectants.





DRAINS ON HIGHWAYS.





 





The town graded a highway in front

of my building, leaving a gutter two

and a half feet deep. There are four

driveways. Can the toWn be compell-

ed to put in tile so it can be leveled

up in front of the building, or can the

town be made to put in tile for the

d11veways?—E. D. S.



The only p1ovision we are aware of





touching the question is Compiled

Laws 1915, Section 4511, as follows:

“When a drain passes along a. high-

way, there shall be constructed at

least one bridge or passageway across

such drain connecting the highway

with each enclosed field and with each

farm entrance, which bridge or pas-

sageway shall also be charged in the

first instance as a. part of the construc-

tion of such drain, after which such

bridge or passageway shall be main-

tained by the owner of the land.”

found within my sheep enclosure?

ed: “Any person may kill any dog

worrying, or wounding any live stock,

or attacking persons, and there shall

be no liability on such person in dam-

ages or otherwise, for such killing.

Any dog that enters any field or en-

closure outside of an incorporated city,

unaccompanied by his owner or his

owner’s agent, shall constitute a pri-

vate nuisance, and the owner or tenant

of such field or other enclosure, or his

agent or servant, may kill such dog

while it is in the field or other en-

closure without liability for such kill-

ing. Except as provided in this sec-

tion, it shall be unlawful for any per-

son, other than a police officer, to kill,

injureor attempt to kill or injure, any

dog which bears a license tag for the

current year.”





WASHING MILK BOTTLES.

bor, and still give a clean and sanitary

bottles are washed they must be rins-

hot enough so that the bottles will dry

While the foods you mention are all

‘ be furnished by adding cottonseed

meal or linseed meal. Wheat bran

would also be a splendid addition. I

suggest that you feed all the alike clo-

ver hay and sweet cornstalks that

they will eat up clean, then you feed

each cow two pounds of oil meal per

day and in addition a sufficient amount

of ground oats and barley so that each

'5' HE results of recent experiments





on the effect of a varying sup-

ply. of nutrients at different pe-

riOds in the growth of the corn plant

are reported in Missouri Research Bul-

letin No. 42. In this work corn was





., grown to maturity in large cylinders

containing pure white sand. A stand-





ard nutrient solution was made and

given to a part of the plants. Another

Solution of onetwentieth the strength

of ‘the standard was given to plants in

other cylinders. The standard solution

was sufficient to produce normal corn

plants, while the weak solution was

barely strong enough to keep the

plants alive and produCed very little

growth. _



At the end of thirty days’ growth

some of the plants receiving the stand-





~ and solution were changed to the low





ration while others receiving the weak

solution were changed to the standard

or optimum treatment. At the end

of sixty days the solutions were again

changed until all- possible combina-

tions of growing periods and strength

of solution were obtained.

When Most Food Is Needed.



The results of this experiment show

that plants having a. good supply of

plant food during the ,middle period

or from the time the plants were thirty

to sixty days old usually made the best

growth. This period, therefore is

proved to be the time at which the

corn plants need the greatest supply

of plant food. ‘



Where the plants had plenty of

food during the first sixty days they

would take up most of the mineral

nutrients necessary for their develop-

ment, only small additional amounts

being required to bring them to ma-

turity. ' '



Where large amounts of plant food

were present the stalks, leaves and

ears were richer in protein and min-

eral matter than plants grown in the

weak solution, but where excessive

amounts of nutrients were present

during the later stages the plants took

up. more than was necessary for their

development and did not use the food

materials, economically.



Plants stunted by a limited food

supply at the beginning of the growth

period and then given a standard so-

lution during the last sixty days pro-

duced shorter stalks, with fewer

leaves, and the time of maturity was

delayed ten to twenty days. They did,

however, come out and produce good

plants and fair ears regardless of the

early stunting.



Plants having a low supply of nu-

trients near the end of the growing

peribd produced larger and more fi-

brous root systems than those well





supplied with plant food. During ear-





lygrowth where the supply of nu-

Eats Most ‘ '





trients was .low the weight of roots

was greater than that of the tops.

Where plenty of plant food was avail-

able the weight of tops was twice that

of the .roots. At the time of maturity

the weight of tops was from three to

seven times as much as the roots, de-





pending upon the amount of avail-





able plant food.



A low supply of available nutrients

increased the proportion of nitrogen,

phosphorus, and potassium found in

the roots over that obtained where a

plentiful supply of plant food was

present. -



Corn plants that were normal in

growth contained more than half of

the nitrogen‘of the tops in the ears.





FARMERS' AID SAVES STARVING

CHILDREN.





 





T is to the farmers and millers of



America, that fifteen thousand or-

phan children in far away Armenia,

and seven American relief workers,

owe their lives today. For months shut

off from the outside world by the bol-

shevists on one- side and the Turkish

Nationalists on the other, they saw

their supplies daily dwindle until the

meager rations were cut in half, and

still no help came from. the outside

world.



Cables were sent the near—east relief

director in Constantinople that the sit—

uation was critical. At once a cargo

of flour in charge of eight American

women was sent out via Batum to the

beleaguered city.



A week later a second cable reached

Constantinople. “No food at any

price," it read. “Four days more and

we are finished.” On the fourth day,

when the last day’s half rations were

all that stood between the deserted

children and starvation, the eight

American women arrived with their

shipment of flour. Thanks to the peo-

ple of America, the day was saved.



The sequel to the Alexandropol ca-

bles folowed in the Wire sent out by

Chares V. .Vickrey, genera secretary

of the near east releif. “Expect ship

one thousand tons of rice,” he cabled,

“one thousand tons wheat flour, six

hundred tons cornmeal, corn flour,

hominy, thirty tons sugar, five hun-

dred tons beans, five thousand cases

corn syrup . Additional thou-

sand tons wheat flour from Pacific

Coast June first.” ,



The farmers who have contributed

so splendidly of their produce toward

the cause of the near east relief may

take great pride in the results of their

generosity. For in this single dra-

matic incident is typified' the life-sav-

ing work that day by day is being ac~

complished through the gifts of the

American people.





 





 





 





 





 





 





Consider

Your Clothes





AVE you ever stopped to





think of the part petroleum,





plays in converting raw material

into the» fabrics which are used





to make your suit of clothes?»





From the wool on asheep’s back





to the clothes on your back is a '





long journey and petroleum

shortens it at eVery step.





By machinery lubricated with petroleum,

a man may shear from 175 to 200 fleeces

a day. By the old method, 50 fleeces

would be considered a big day’s work.





After leaving the sheep, the wool passes

through ten major processes before it 13

ready for the tailor. Each of these require

the use of intricate machinery, having

bearings which run at speeds varying from

350 to 12,000 revolutions per minute.





From the clipper to the last finishing

machine, a diversity of mechanical con-

ditions exist, each of which has been

studied and experimented with, and a

lubricant found which meets exactly the

needs of the machinery.





In solving these lubricating problems,

and manufacturing oils and greases which

enable these machines to perform their

work, the Standard Oil Company (Indi-

ana) always has been among the leaders.





Its staff of carefully trained chemists,

refiners, and lubricating engineers are

constantly at work, devising new and

more efficient means of reducing friction.





This Company computes its success

not wholly upon its balance sheets, not

wholly upon the number of useful prod

ucts it manufactures, but rather upon

the fact that many of the useful prod-

ucts of petroleum are made from ma-

terial which otherwise would be wasted,

and are made by processes which were

evolved in the Company’s laboratories.

‘ FARM TENANCY SMALL IN MICH-

IGAN.





-G‘URES on farm tenancy in the



United States have just been pub«

lished by the bureau of census. These

figures Show that while the average

number of tenant farmers in the coun-

try is 38.1 per cent of all farms, that

the average for the state of Michigan

is but 17.7 per cent. Of the 34,722

tenant farmers in the state, 23,280

work farms on shares, 422 on the share-

cash plan, 9,312 pay cash, while 1,708

are unclassified.





BILLS TO INCREASE LOANS TO

FARMERS.





 





ANY bills designed to benefit the



farmers are now pending in con-

gress, but their progress is slow and

often discouraging. Up—to-date the

emergency tariff is the only farmer

legislation that has become a law, al-

though the Haugen packer control bill

and the Curtis—Nelson bill to provide

larger capital for the Federal Farm

Loan Board, have passed the house

and senate. The house refused to ac—

cept the senate amendments to the

packer bill, and Representatives Hau-

gen, of Iowa, McLaughlin, of Michigan,

Ward, of New York, Jacoway, of Ar—

kansas, and Rainey, of Illinois, were

appointed to confer with Senators Nor-

ris, Kenyon and Kendrick, with the

hopes of reaching an agreement.

WANTS GOVERNMENT SUPPORT



FOR EXPORTERS.





 





 





4 DMUND D. FISCHER, of Detroit,

Michigan, a member of the Inter-

American High Commission, and rep-

resenting the banking interests, pro-

posed that the government stand back

of private capital in organizing a for-

eign export corporation under the

Edge law. While the business would

be under the control of private stock-

holders, with government supervision,

the government would subscribe to

one-half the stock. Any time the cor-

poration wished to buy the govern-

ment stock it could do so at book val-

ue. This it was ‘claimed would give

the corporation the benefits from pri-

vate initiative. Mr. Fischer would not

object to having the activities of such

corporation confined to the exporting

of agricultural products.





RURAL CREDIT AND

BILLS.





INSURANCE





 





THE Kenyon rural credit and multi-

ple insurance bill is receiving the

support of senate agricultural section,

and also has the approval of many

leading economists. Its purpose is to

provide a permanent system of rural

credits, standardizing the farmers’ pa-

per for agricultural production in the

open market, and giving them access

to the financial centers for the sale of

such paper, whereas today they are

restricted to the local banks.





WOULD REMOVE BUTTER TAX.





 





REPRESENTATIVES of the dairy-



men's organizations appeared be—

fore Commissioner of Internal Reve-

nue David H. Blair, asking him to re-

scind the neutralizer butter ruling

made by Commissioner Williams in

, February. Commissioner Blair showed

’ a very friendly attitude toward the

dairy interests, and promised that he

would consult with the secretary of,

:agriculture before coming to a conclu-

Shh. The delegation that visited the

fiOminissi'oner was composed of the fol-

owing: J. G. Walker, president Blue





Valley Butt-er Cbmpany, Chicago; Dr.

George L. McKay, secretary American

Association of Ci'eamery Butter Man-

ufacturers; M. D. Munn, American

Jersey Cattle Club; Prof. Christ .Lar-

sen, chairman dairy division Illinois

Agricultural Association, and A. M.

Loomis, secretary National Dairy Un-

ion. Mr. Loomis told the commission-

Cr that the reason he objected to the

ruling was becau. e it would compel

seventy-five per cent of all butter pro-

duced in the United States to go onto

the market stigmatized with the brand,

“adulterated,” in competition with

oleomargarine in which all kinds of

chemicals are used and which is not

branded “adulterated” in any way.





SENTIMENT AGAINST TAX-FREE

BONDS.





\





 





TIMULATED, no doubt by recent



action of the American Farm Bu~

reau Federation in suggesting the sub—

mission of an amendment to the Con-

stitution to the several states prohibit-

ing the issuing of tax—free bonds, 3.

strong sentiment is developing in con—

gress against tax-exempt bonds. In a

recent statement Representative Louis

T. McFadden, chairman of the house

committee on banking and currency,

said “the creation of two classes, the

wealthy, free from the burdens of tax-

ation,-and the workers, who are forced

to bear the burdens of which the weal-

thy are relieved, through the purchase

of tax-exempt securities, is a violation

of social justice, which is crystalizing

in broad public opposition and discon-

tent, as the issuance of tax- exempt se-

curities expands. ”





“Otto H. Kahn has estimated that

$14,435,000,000 of tax-exempt securities

have been issued up to January, 1921,

of which about half represents the

debts of states, cities, school districts

and other political subdivisions, while

half represents the obligations of the

government.



“In the last few years we have seen

the personal wealth of the country so

rapidly segregated into the tax-free

class that whereas the taxable income

of individual taxpayers under the fed-

eral income tax law, was $992,972,985

in 1916, the amount decreased to $731,-

372,053 in 1917, and to $392,274,329 in

1918," according to Mr. McFadden. “It

is a safe conclusion,” he continued,

“that they had converted their wealth

into tax-free securities so rapidly that

at a similar rate of conversion they

would be ‘scot-free’ of all income tax

by 1922.





“It is stated that more than $1,000,-

000,000 of state and municipal tax-free

securities were issued in 1920. If

these securities are held by the weal-

thy, whose federal income tax is at

the rate of seventy-three per cent, the

total annual loss in this one form of

tax alone is over $35,000,000, if the

interest rate on these bonds averaged

five per cent. On a most conservative

basis the government is now losing

annually from $175,000,000 to $200,000;

000 on tax-exempt bonds already is-

sued. The wealthy investor receives

as much net return from a five per

cent tax-exempt bond as from a tax-

able industrial investment paying over

seven per cent.”

No REDUCTION IN FREIGHT

RATES.





 





HE Association of Railroad Execu-





tives has declared that there will .





be no reduction in rates on fruit, veg-

etables and melons at this time, says

the State Farm Bureau traffic depart-

ment, citing the decision of the ex-

ecutives at their recent meeting when

the same complaints and petitions for

lower rates as have gone before the

Intel state Commerce Commission

were laid before the railroad men.



The executives charged that the evi-

dence submitted did not show that rail

charges had affected the shipment of

farm products and that contrary to

complaints, more cars are being ship-

ped now than were being shipped at

this time last year. The complaints

are now up to the Interstate Com.

merce Commission.





GRANGE GROWS IN SOUTH.





 





HE Grange is making considerable



progress in the south, several new

subordinate granges having been or-

ganized this spring in Virginia and

North Carolina. On July 4, Congress-

man John.C. Ketcham, of Michigan,

made an address at a joint picnic of

the grange, farm bureau and farmers’

union in Eastern North Carolina.



The executive committee of the Na-

tional Grange will meet at the Wash-

ington Grange headquarters on July

6. The principal business will be the

making of arrangements for the fifty-

fifth annual session of the National

Grange at Portland, Oregon, beginning

November 16.





 





AGRICULTURAL INQUIRY.





 





HE congressional joint committee



of agricultural inquiry will begin

its general hearings at ten o’clock on

Monday morning, July 11.- Farmers,

stockmen, dairymen and representa-

tives of farm organizations will be

heard first. The commission desires

that so far as possible the presenta-

tion be confined to facts with sugges-

tions for specific remedies.





 





FARMERS TO GATHER AT M. A. C.





 





OW the M. A. C. farm looks when



it is actually in operation in the

growing months will be observed by

agricultural dwellers of the state on

July 29, when the fourth annual sum-

mer farmers' visiting day is held. This

gathering correlates with farmers'

week in February and has come to be

regarded as one of the few big events

of the year at the college.



Business and pleasure will be com-

bined. The morning Will be spent in

inspection trips over the barns and

crops experimental areas. At noon a

basket picnic lunch will be held on

the lovely M. A. C. campus, and in the

afternoon a short meeting will be held,





- with addresses by one or two, nation-





ally known agricultural leaders. There

will be' games and'sports for the kid-

dies and the big ninety-foot swimming

pool in the college gym will 'be thrown

open to the boys.



The farmers’ wives will have their

distinctive share in the day' s activi-

ties: Mandela? 111:0gram for them will

be held in the murals building,





 





 





the day. Exhibits of foods, textiles

and labor-saving devices will be on

display.





In the 142 acres where cropsare beg: ,

BALANCED INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM.





 





IT is easier to prevent poverty than



an epidemic of yellow fever, it was

contended by Dr. Thomas Nixon Carve-

er, professor of agricultural econom-

ics at Harvard, in his address, “A Bal-

anced Industrial System ” before the

ministers’ and laymen’s conference at

M. A. C.





“Every evil we find in our industrial

system is due to a lack of balance

among the factors of production,” said

Dr. Carver. The problem of poverty

is this: Why can’t poor people sell

what they have to sell? Sometimes

the reason is lack of land. Intensive

cultivation and poverty go together.

Sometimes the reason is an over‘sup-

ply of unskilled labor. There is no

such things as an over—supply of labor

in general, but there may be too much

of one kind.





‘.‘Do we want to pay the cost of elim-

inating poverty? It will cost every

one of us something. If you belong to

the employer class it will cost you still

more. Of course, the employer likes

to be able to turn job seekers away,

but poverty for some people is the re-

sult. We must thin out the unskilled

labor by an educational system and re-

striction of immigration."





Dr. Carver declared our present in-

dustrial order is based on the repres-

sion of violence and can be overthrown

only by restoring violence. Recur-

rences of industrial depression, he

held, are the penalties we pay for liv-

ing under such an order, the very

blessings of which brings its evils.



In his discussion of intensive culti-

vation, he made the statement that

success in farming should be measur-

ed by production per man and not per

acre. “We have more scientific farm-

ing in the United States than any-

where else in the world, except possi-

bly Canada and Australia,” he said.

. 3- F. o. No ....... .....
NE of the really beneficial move—

ments which concern a large

number of farmers in Michigan

is the one now being promoted to grow

nut-bearing trees along the highways

of the state. The idea is not new as

thousands of farmers for several gen-

erations have planted trees along the

main road upon which their farms fac-

ed, but I believe the present move-

ment to encourage and foster the idea

and bring action is the first concerted

effort made in this direction. If car—

ried out to a satisfactory conclusion it

. will become a big project, entailing

the planting and care of millions of

trees. The fact that nut-bearing trees

are to be planted, preferably the black-

walnut, lends an added interest to the

' rising generation from the prospect of

abundant nut crops.



The whole project in this state has

assumed form through the efforts of

the Northern Nut Growers’ Associa-

tion, of which Hon. William S. Linton,

of Saginaw, is president. The ass oci-

ation was organized many years ago

and has numbered among its members

such prominent nature lovers as the

late John Burroughs, the famed natur-

alist; Prof. C. A. Reed, Nutculturist of

the United States Agricultural Depart-

ment; Dr. Robert T. Morris, a leading

physician of New York City; T. L. Lit-

tlepage, prominent attorney of Wash-

ington, D. C.; W. C. Deming, secretary

of the association, and others well

known in public life. Mr. Linton has

been an active member for the last

ten years, and in the fall of 1919 was

elected president of the association,

which he has since held by re-election.

Dr. J. H. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, has

been the Michigan vice-president of

the association for many years.



Legislative Action Being Taken.



The proper legislative action to leg-

alize the planting of nut-bearing trees

along the public domain, was recently

taken by Senator Harvey A. Penney,

of Saginaw, who is an active member

of the Northern Nut Growers' Associa-

tion. Cooperating with Mr. Linton, he

caused to be introduced in the legisla-

ture a bill authorizing and directing

the planting of nut and other food-

producing trees, as well as ornamental





 





Ut Trees for MIC





State will Cooperate m Beautifymg Mcflzgan Tramt Line's





 





igan





wztfl Nut-Bearmg Trees

By J. H. ‘Mills





trees, along the highways, principally

the trunk Jine highways of the state.

This bill was duly passed and has at-

tracted a great deal of attention from





far beyond the confines of our com?





monwealth. The Penney bill is likely

to become a famous one, calls for cop-

ies of it having come from all parts of

the cduntry; and similar bills will be

introduced in the legislatures of many

states to carry on a movement inaug-

urated .in Michigan.



Bill, Provides Benefits to Farmers.



One of the leading features of the

Penney bill, which has caused wide

spread comment, is the provision for

the payment by the state of twenty

cents per tree, for a period of‘five

years, to property owners who plant

nut trees along the highways fronting

their farms, the bonus to apply on the

highway tax. This provision, it is be-

lieved, will act as an incentive to im-

prove the roadways of the public {do‘

main and be of untold benefit to .gen-

erations to come. There is nothing

more attractive to a well travelled

highway than a row of stately trees

affording shade and protection from

winds; and when these trees are food-

producing their value to the people is

greatly enhanced.



Trees Protect Highway.



Another important feature of the

nut-bearing tree-planting movement is

the benefit to the road surface by rea-

son of the protection trees provide

from the sun’s hot rays in summer. It

is well known that the sun’s rays when

directed from near the zenith have a

great disintegrating effect on the road

surface, and when motor vehicles pass

along at even moderate speed, clouds

of fine dust arise and are dissipated in

the air. A row of huge trees well spac—

ed along a. road or street, spreading

their branches far on both sides, ob-

struct the sun’s rays and aid in na-

ture’s efforts to retain the surface

moisture.



\Vhat is more restful and pleasing

to the eye of any motorist who loves

nature, than to enter from a sun-baked

road, heavy with dust, a cool section





of road lined by big beautiful trees,

their branches often meeting overhead,

and the road surface cool and moist.

It is like coming from an inferno into

a iefieshing arbor of bracing air. These

restful places are frequently found in

New England and some of our older

states, particularly in the villages and

small towns, and are a never failing

source" of delight to the tourist. There

is no reason why such inviting vistas

cannot be created in Michigan, and the

present project is intended‘to Jbl'ing

thisabout. It is estimated that one

million five hundred thousand trees

will be required to plant the trunk

highways of this state as at present

planned.

A Great National Memorial.



Into the whole project is injected a

living sentiment by the proposal to

memorialize the soldiers, marines and

sailors who served their country in the

late world war. This is a very happy

idea—the planting of trees in parks

and along highways as a lasting testi-

monial of a grateful people to their

defenders. The memorial tree planting

which would be dedicated to every ser-

vice man in the war, and which would

be of great benefit in reforestration

in the object lesson it would convey,

has the approval of virtually every as-

sociation of citizens. Their expres-

sions approve the sentiment and the

utility and it is fairly certain that the

movement to get the trees, plant them,

and inscribe them, one to each indi-

vidual soldier and sailor in the serv

vice, will be carried on as the intelli-

gence of the country will approve.



To Use Walnuts from Mt. Vernon.



Coupling up the sentiment for the

soldier memorial with the use of black

walnuts for the propagation of nut-

bearing trees, secured from the nation-

al shrine of Mt. Vernon, is a very hap-

by proposal. In this also does William

S. Linton shat e in the eledit f01 mak-

ing public the idea and of taking steps

to carr it out. At the annual‘meet-

ing of e Northern Nut Growers’ As-

sociation held in Washington, D. C.,

in September, 1920, the idea first as-





sumed formand a visit was made by”





those interest-ed to Mt. Vernon to see

what could be done toward securing

a supply of seed nuts.



.The ladies of the Mt. Vernon asso-

ciation became very much interested

in the proposal, and agreed to collect

a limited supply of prime walnuts to

put the plan in operation. Only select-

ed nuts grown on the estate are to be

used in this greatnational movement,

and owing to the lateness of the sea.-

son when action was first taken, the

collection amounted to only five thou-

sand perfect seed nuts.



At this very _limited supply would

only make a start upon the big plan

proposed, Mr. Linton wisely decided to

confine the first distribution to Michi?

gan and his home county; and thus

Saginaw county has the honor of being

the first county in Michigan, and in-

deed in the whole countiy, to plant

the piiine seeds from Mt. Vernon in

this wide national movement

Where the Seed Nuts were Planted.



Of the five thousand prime walnuts

from Mt. Vernon, two thousand were

planted in the nursery of Ezra Rust

Park in Saginaw. These nuts are now

coming up and promise to carry; out

the fullest expectations of the patri-

otic men who planted them. When

grown sufliciently for transplanting

the trees will be placed in beautiful

spots in the “city parks and elsewhere.

The other lot of three thousand nuts

was distributed to the public schools

in city and county for seeding and

planting in school yards, as a perpetu-

al reminder of the great historic senti-

ment connected with the whole move-

ment. This feature of the plan is of

utmost importance as it couples up the

most intimate events in our history

with an utility of value to civic and

rural life. ‘



Another use was made of several

hundred of the walnuts in plan-ting

them on the grounds of the new coun-

try club of the Masonic orders of Sagi-

naw, at Bridgeportfia suburb of the

city. The fact that General George

Washington was a'member of the Ma-

sonic order, gives this use of some

walnuts from the shrine an appropri‘

ate and piopitious setting.

ICE CREAM PLANT A MILK

ARMERS of the Marquette district



have an interest in the new ice

cream plant recently opened in a for-

mer brewery building near that city

by the Sanitary Dairy Company of

Houghton. The Sanitary Dairy people

have a large plant on the shore of

Portage Lake in the copper country,"

where they take care of a large quan-

tity of local milk for domestic use and

for the manufacture of ice cream. A

At present, milk from the Houghton

factory is being prepared there and

shipped to the new Marquette plant

for freezing and distribution. It is

planned by Mr. A. J. Ruhl,‘ president

of the Sanitary Dairy Company, to de-

presumably be worth while to dupli-

cate the equipment of the Houghton

factory. Marquette has hitherto lack-

our farmers have not had as good a

., BY F. E. anus. . , ;

R T. A. BARRON, of Ontario,

who is still a, young man in his





Wenties, started farming a few years

ago without farming experience and





with limited financial resources. It

was hard uphill work at first. He had

only common, grade cattle. The local

banker had a lot of faith in the gritty

young man, however, and one day call-

ed him into his office and informed

him that if he would buy a. few head

of pure-bred cattle. the bank would

back him. He took the plunge and

among his purchases was Bella Pon-

tiac. -She freshened as a four-year-old

,and finished that year under govern-

ment inspected test with 20,129 pounds

of milk and 1,018 pounds of butter. Af-

ter being dry only a. short time, she

freshened again and started on her big

year’s work.



Bella Pontiac, a pure-bred Holstein

cow, is the new champion butter cow

of the world. For six years this honor

has rested with Duchess Skylark

Ormsby, the great cow owned by Sen-

ator Hackney, of Minnesota, with her

wonderful production of 1,506.36

pounds Ofbutter in one year. The new

title holder is an obscure Canadian

cow owned by a. practically unknown

breeder, Mr. T. A. Barron, of Ontario.

The new high mark is 1,565 pounds of

butter from 27,000 pounds of milk.

And connected with this new record is

.a real, human-interest story.



Bella was housed in an ordinary

farm barn and milked four times a day

'by the young‘ farmer whose finances

did not permit of neglect of field work

to give superlative attentions to his

'cow. It was a farmer’s test under farm

conditions all the way through. Her

production varied from 104.24 pounds

of fat in July, her first month, to 124.3

pounds in November, her best month,

and in the following March she produc-

ed 121.83 pounds of fat. The last of

the silage had then been fed and, in

spite of an increased allowance of:

roots, the fat dropped to 84.38 pounds

and 73.51 pounds in April and May.



Bella Pontiac has nothing sensa-

tional .in her breeding but it.is good

producing stuff all the way through.

Her sire, Pauline Pet’s Pontiac, is a

brother of Calamity Snow Pontiac, 28,-

442 pounds of milk and 1,240 pounds

of butter in a year, the third highest

butter record in Canada. Maternally,

Bella claims as grandsire one of the

great transmitting sires of the breed,

Brookbank Butter Baron, with thirty-

eight tested daughters, one of them a

former Canadian champion and the

first thirty-three-pound cow in Canada.

The absence of the ultra-fashionable

from the new Champion’s breeding

may well serve as a stimulus to other

ambitious breeders who have well-bred

cattle but nothing superlative.



In the meantime, Mr. Barron has

been successful in making a few good

records with other members of his

small herd. He has made some good

sales. He is not so hard pressed as he

was when his banker advised him to

I is not enough barnyard manure to



maintain the soil fertility, and some

other method must be used. Cover

crops add organic matter to the soil,

, and if they are leguminous crops, also

add .nitrogen. They do not altogether

replace barnyard manure, but will do

more toward keeping the orchard up

to a high standard of production than

any other one method we can use.





-, The maintenance of the productive

power of soils depends in a large de-

gree upon the upkeep of the vegetable

matter in the soil. Humus is one of

the last stages in the decomposition

of the vegetable and animal matter in

the soil, and its benefits may be sum~

med up about as follows:

Effects of Good Drainage.



A well—drained soil rich in humus is

also rich in nitrogen; evidence shows

that, in the process of the formation

of humus, acids are produced which

are capable of dissolving mineral

plant—food, and in all probability this

is how they become available to the

plant; humus increases the water-hold—

ing capacity of light soils by consoli-

dating them and making them less

porous. It acts as a soil sponge; it

ameliorates heavy soils, making them

less liable to bake and puddle, so that

proper aeration is secured; humus

generally increases the warmth of the

soil. The dark surface draws more

heat than the lighter—colored one; hum-

us furnishes feod material for bacte-

rial action in the soil.





Many writers have told us of the

many valuable features of alfalfa as an

orchard crop. Because of experience

and observation with this crop, I must

disagree with these men, and believe

that too often their recommendation

has been based upon theory rather

than practice. Generally speaking, al-

falfa has not proved to be a good cover

crop for the average soil and orchard~

ist. A few? of the chief reasons are as

follows:



Alfalfa for Cover Crop.



When planted alfalfa is usually put

in as a permanent cover crop, and had

proved successful on a deep soil with

an abundant supply of moisture during

the summer months. The success on

these soils had led many to sow alfalfa

on the lighter soils where the moisture

supply is already deficient. Some or-

chards have been transferred into hay

fields, the alfalfa receiving more care

and thought than the orchard itself.

Too much of the crop is removed from

the land.



We must remember that we must

have suliicient moisture to feed'both

the alfalfa and the orchard during the

dry summer months. There are very

few orchards with soils capable of do-

ing this, since orchards are usually lo«

cated on the hilly land, or land well

drained, rather than on bottom lands.

The cr0p might be well enough if it

were turned under or disked into the

orchard soil, but to think of harvest-

ing both fruit and alfalfa is out of the

question.



A Good Soil Builder.



Clover is an excellent soil-builder,

and if used as a cover crop, will sup-

ply nitrogen and organic matter to the

soil. The same difficulties are encount—

ered with clover as with alfalfa and

must be guarded against. As a rule,

clover should never be left in an or-

chard for more than two years with-

out being turned under. Special care

should be taken on light soils, where

the crop should be turned under by all



- means, and will prove the best possi-

ble crop for this purpose. To purchase

(commercial fertilizer to replace the

clever this green manured would mean

"several times the expense incurred in





, j c ramp. f... .1... ma

this simple method. About ten pounds

should be seeded per acre.



Clean cultivation in the early part

of the season, followedby a. cover 'crop

later, is the most up-to-date and best

method of handling orchard soils, and

can be used with good results inore

generally than any other system of

soil management.





Legumes and Non-Legumes.



There are two main.types of cover

crops that can be grown, the legumes

and the non-legumes. The legumes are

all those plants which belong to the

same family, as the peas, vetches,

beans, clover, etc., and the non—leg-

umes all plants not included in this

family. Legumes are more valuable

than the nondegumes, because they

are capable of gathering nitrogen from

the air, and when turned under in—

crease the nitrogen content of the soil.





Rye is one of the best of non-leg-

ume. It grows readily on most soils,

catches easily, is hardy, and furnishes

a large amount of greenstuff to plow

under in the_ spring, besides furnishing

an excellent mulch during the winter

months. About ninety pounds per acre

should be sown. ‘



Winter wheat is a'good second, if

rye be unavailable, sown at the same

rate. Although buckwheat is 'a good

cover crop on heavy land, it is a very

poor winter protection. Rape is very

good sown at the rate of six pounds

per acre. '



Value of Vetch.



Hairy vetch is an excellent legumi-

nous cover crop, and gives good re-

sults. It is extremely hardy, will with—

stand hot summer drought, and is a

fast grower. Because of these features

and its ability to gather nitrogen from

the air, it is, perhaps, the best cover

crop grown. It should be seeded at

the rate of from twenty to twenty-five

pounds per acre.





Crimson clover seeded at the rate

of fifteen pounds per acre is also very

good. Any crop that will make a good

growth in the fall and early spring so

as to give a large amount of organic

matter to turn under is a good crop to

grow.



July and August are the cover crop

months, usually turning the ground

and making it ready as early as possi-

ble, some giving it several cultivations,

thus conserving moisture and getting

the soil into an excellent state for the

seeds to germinate. Where trees are

not coming into bearing as soon as

they should because of





one of the sod-crops is a good plan, or

sowing the cover crop earlier in the





excessive ‘

growth, sowing down the orchard to:





season. This will tend to check growth 5





and throw the trees into fruiting.





Cover Crops Make Good Stand.



Many make the objection that the

crop will not catch in the late sum-

mer. This may be true on soils very

devoid of organic matter, but where a.

proper system of soil management has

been maintained in the early part of

the summer there will be little trouble

in getting any of the crops mentioned

to come.

seed is thus sown below the mulch

where the soil is moist and the per-

centage of germination will be in—

creased. . ‘ .



The crop should be turned under as

soon as there is a good amount of

greenstuff to turn under. Do not wait'

for the fast«growing crops, such as 'rye,

or they are liable to get ahead and

give trouble.





Chinese cabbage or “celery cabbage”

is best grown as a fall crop. Seed

should be sewn during the latter part

of July so that the crop will mature

“I’ll see if you’re all game,” Dale

said, and he smiled when he spoke.

"‘I’ll make you this proposition: I'll

:fight any ten of you, two at a time,

with a five minutes’ rest between

:‘fights; if I whip them all I go free,

and if I don’t whip them all I hang

immediately. All parties to be bare-

handed, no guns and no knives. Are

you that game?”



Ordinarily, it would have been a.

thing wellnigh impossible to do, much

as Dale knew of the pugilistic art,

great as was his strength and endur-

ance. But now most of those about

Dale were drunk and therefore weak-

ened, and he believed he had a chance

if ‘old Ball accepted.



But Judge Ball didn’t accept. Doubt-

1ess he remembered his son Adam’s

fight with Dale.



“The’ cain’t be no fightin’ in co’te,”

he said. “You sh’ll hang by the neck

ontel dead, at sunrise in the mornin’.”



There was a mumble of approval

from the others. Doubtless they, too,





remembered that the young man whom '





they held captive had once whipped

Black Adam Ball, the mountaineer

Goliath, with his bare hands. They

did not have the one good trait that

Dale had hoped they possessed; while

they must have admired him for his

courage, they were afraid to fight him

without weapons. Dale recalled the

fact that the Balls were not originally

hillfolk, but lowlanders who had taken

to the mountains in order to avoid be-

ing forced to fight during the Civil

War, a people without a principle. The

Cherokee Torreys, of course, were ev-

en worse.



“Kitty, kitty, kitty!” Walt Turner

called tauntingly again. “He walked

into the trap like a pore little kitty!"



A pleughline of half-inch cotton rope

was produced, and the condemned man

was securely bound, standing on his

feet and facing outward, to the big

walnut. Desperate as was his case,

Dale couldn't help being a trifle amus-

ed at that part of it. It was so very

melodramatic. And yet, it was so

grimly real, and his hopes seemed thin.



The Morelands and the Littlefords

would eventually learn the truth and

make the Balls and Torreys pay a

dear price, no doubt, but that—that

wouldn’t give him back his life.



The men were divided into two

watches. The first was to remain

awake and go on guard until midnight

and the other was to go on duty from

midnight until dawn. The second

watch, with which was the faction’s

leader, had a nightcap’ of the vitriolic





-whisky, flung itself sprawling on the





ground, and went to sleep.

The first watch sat around the crack-





ling brushwood fire and played cards

I

for chews of tobacco, cartridges, and.





pocket knives, sang stranw and out

landish songs, and drank more whisky.

One very drunk Torreyigambled away

all his tobacco, all his cartridges, his

knife, his rifle and his belt, his coat

and his hat, his boots and his shirt——

and offered to bet his trousers and his

ears on the turn of a single card. It

was funny, and it was disgusting, too.-

It was all the work of whisky, which

Bill Dale had always hated because it

made men fools, made them mouth

their secrets and made them commit

murder.



After some two hours of these worse

than bacchanalian orgies, the first

watch, heavy with drink, stopped play-

ing cards, and singing outlandish

songs, forgot all orders, and began to

nod. Then it was that Dale thought

of the man who had been his faithful

guardian for many days, the lanky By

Heck. Wy hadn’t he thought of Heck

before! He wondered if Heck had

followed him to the trap, if Heck was

near him even then, if xHeck had gone

for help. Soon his spirits had risen;

he believed he had reason for hope.



By Heck had not followed Bill Dale

to the little basin. But he had follow-

ed Henderson Goff, and Henderson

Goff had followed Dale to the little

basin. Golf had returned to the Big

Pine Mountain country only that day,

and he knew nothing of the plans of

the Ball-Torrey faction until he wit-

nessed the mockery of a trial. Goff

was now crouching in the darkness on

the low line of cliffs to the eastward

from the walnut tree; and not far be-

hind him, well hidden in the black lau-

rels, watching him and watching Bill

Dale, crouched By Heck.



Dale’s guardian had not gone for

help because he feared to leave Dale

utterly unprotected in the hands of

the gang of cutthroats. He believed

that he could rescue Dale himself.

When the first watch became a little

more drowsy, he would, steal up be-

hind the tree and cut the cotton rope.



Then Heck realized that Goff had

disappeared entirely. He crept for‘

ward silently, his eyes alert, and a mo-

ment later he saw Goff stealing toward

the walnut tree. He climbed noise-

lessly down over the face of the cliff,

and followed Goff like a shadow. When

Goff’s hands touched the tree, By Heck

was within ten feet of it. Heck made

sure his rifle was ready and took an-

other step forward, watching, listening.



The shyster coal man leaned around

the tree to the left. In the glow of the

low-burned fire the blade of a small

knife in his hand gleamed dull red. He

whispered cautiously:



“You’re in a fix, Dale.

word that I’ll get that coal property





for fifteen thousand, and I’ll slash the





rope. How





about it?‘ Sick of this





country, aren’t you ?"





There came a few seconds, of silence

save for the lusty snoring of the sleep-

ers and the musical tinkle of the little

creek, after which Goff muttered ids





appointedly:





“Well, then, hang!”

And Heck knew that Dale had refus

ed to sell the Moreland coal for a song





even to save his life.





As Goff stepped





backward, the muzzle of the tall hill-

man’s rifle went against the small of

his back, and the tall hillman whis-

pered hoarsely, through teeth tightly





clenched:





“Slash ’at rope!





Slash ’at rope, or





I wisht I may drap dead ef I don’t

Goff straightened in surprise.





Slash it! ”

The





rifle’s muzzle went harder against his

back, and he knew it for exactly what





it was.





He moved a hand upward,





then downward, and the cotton rope

was severed in half a dozen places.





“Stiddy thar now ! ”





whispered By





Heck, and he began to back away.





“Come along wi’





me, ye dadslatted,





banjer—bellied skunk. Bill he’ll foller.”

The three of them hurried into the





deeper shadows.





Soon Heck halted





Goff and turned to Dale.

“S’arch him fo’ a gun, Bill, old boy.”

Dale lifted from Henderson Goff’s

Heck exclaimed in a muffled

le’s go, you'uns.





And ef ye hast cheep





out a noise, Mister Goff, the buzzards

will pick the meat on'en yore bones

afore tomorrer night.”



“Move, shyster,” frowned Bill Dale.



By Heck led the way to the line of

cliffs to the westward. They had climb-

ed the rugged wall and were about to

set out through the pitchy dark wood-

land, when a voice that they knew

well hailed them softly from the lau-

rels to their left:



“Hold on thar!”



“John Moreland, by jiggers!” mut-





tered Heck.





Moreland hastened soundlessly to





them.

Well, we ain’t blood-thirsty, Bill. Them

* ‘IAHA-.1,«..‘g“~y.ah to Find Itself





Our Weeé/jy Sermon—By N. A. MCsze





help a boy find himself? Don’t



boys know where they are, and

where they are going? Don’t Ameri-

can boys, in particular, know what

they'want to do? That is the prevail-

ing impression. And like many other

impressions, it is partly wrong, for

many boys do not know what they

want to do. Even seniors in college

confess they spend a goo-.1 deal of time

singing, “Where do we go from here?”

This is most unfortunate, for it means

much time will be lost, and there may

be bitter disappointments ahead, on

account of one’s indecision. One is

happier and works with definite pur-

pose, when he has a goal toward which

he is making.



It is for this reason that in many

parts of the country group meetings

are being held, for the purpose of as

sisting high-school boys to make their

choice of life-work. These meetings

are sometimes conducted by church

leaders, and sometimes by the Young

Men’s Christian Association. A con-

vention, or institute, of this kind was

held in Michigan a few months ago.

Ninety—one boys gathered, from differ—

ent parts of the state. They remained

two days. The convention began with

a banquet, of course, for what would a

convention amount to, that did not

have a banquet? And what would a

high-school banquet be, without songs

and yells? Such ebullient tokens are

only signs of vigorous life. Boys are

not expected to conduct themselves

like bank directors, or a general con—

vention of a religious denomination.





: FTER an address by a college



-~ president on what life ought to

mean to a boy who wanted to make

his life count, each boy was given a

blank to fill out carefully. This was

called a “self-analysis blank." To fill

this out in detail takes time and

thought.

answer the questions about himself in

a perfectly honest and square way.

Some of the questions are: “Am I in-

dependent and self-reliant; do I like

best to lead, in work, games ‘or stunts,

or am I happier when another leads

and I follow and help?” “Would I

rather be captain, the directing head?

Or would I just as soon have some

leadership but not too much responsi-

bility? Or would I rather do the ac-

tual work myself as mechanic, farm

worker, salesman, and let someone

else do the directing and worrying?”

“Am I a team man, can I cooperate?

Is it hard for me to make my mind

«stick to a particular thing at a partic—

ular time?” There are many more

such questions, each designed to bring

out some important fact about the

boy’s mental processes, and his apti-

tudes. Judging by the answers, one

concluded that the boys were fair to

themselves and honest in their replies.





THE particular object of these con-



ventions is to take time by the

forelock, and to point out to boys the

worthfulness of the Christian callings.

If a lad was attracted to the ministry,

he was asked to check that. If helwas

drawn toward the Y. M. C. A. as a life

work, he put that down. If the pros-





4 pect of being a medical missionary or





an agricultural missionary, or an in

dustrial or anengineering or an evan-

gelistic missionary filled him and

thrilled him, he had an opportunity to





~say so, for these callings are all sug-





gested to him. And when the self-an-

alysis blank is filled out, he is assign-





, ed to an interviewer, with whom he'





meets the next “day. His interviewer?

It is put up to each boy to "





 





men, some are'ministers. some college





professors, and others are secretaries '





of the Young Men’s Christian Associa-

tion. If the writer’s experience is typ-

ical, it indicators that there. are a good

many serious-minded boys in the high-

schoéls. Not, every boy is'dreamlng

of the movie and its heroes, or of his

“frat,” or of l.is girl. Many boys want

.to make the right decisions for life,

and they think abbut these things a

great deal. And the high-school period

is the natural time to make these de-

cisions. Happy the lad—or lasswwho‘

resolves aright in those years!





ERE are a few samples of the



questions and their answers: Ques-

tion, “What about these Christian call-

ings appeals to you?” Answer by one

boy, “Ministry, unselfish service, pure—

1y idea of service, great oppoxtunity.“

Another answered, “Medical mission—

ary—great chance for service—-—get at

them better.” How‘s that for a way of

putting it?—“get at them better.” An«

other answered, “Agricultural mission-

ary—I like Christian work and farm»

ing.” Another preferred “Y” work as

a vocation: “Y. M. C. A. work~~-asso-

ciation with young people—to be

among fellows~~you have to be educat-

something for someone

else.”



After each interview, the interview--

er put dawn on a report provided for

this purpose, his estimate of the youth

he had just talked with. Here are one

or two of these reports: “This is a

lad who will put himself through col—

lege but considers it no real hardship

and is determined to be of service to

others.” Another writes: “Wants to

be a minister and I am sure he will

make good if he goes on as now plan-

ned.” Another, “He seems to hesitate

between choosing to be a medical miss

sionary, the Y. M. C. A. or business."

Of the ninety-one boys at this confer—

ence, thirteen put down their prefer—

ence for the ministry, twelve for for-

eign work, fifteen for the Y. M. C. A.,

two for Sunday School work and two

for social service. There were eight-

een miscellaneous vocations named,

and twenty-nine did not know what

they wanted to do.





HE idea is stressed in all these

meetings that a man does not

have to be a missionary or a preacher

in order to do God’s will. It may not

be God’s plan for him to be a preacher

or any kind of a religious worker. But





the point is, to find God’s will and do‘ -





it. God wants and needs farmers and

professional men, and a man can be of

the greatest service in these callings.

Some men are called to make money.

They would be ludicrous failures as

ministers or missionaries. But—God

has a plan for the life of every person,

and it is possible for the person to

learn what that Will is. Every locality

has known some individual who has

not been a professional religionist, but

who has been a real Christian, and has

been an inspiration and an example to

young and old.



The cry goes up that young men are

not entering the ministry. Well, this

is one of the ways of recruiting men

for the ministry. ‘ There are several

lines of work today which are akin to

the ministry, which draw young men,

and these callings are of comparative-

ly reCent origin. But of this be sure—

the time for helping the youth toward

the right decision for life is the high-

school age. More battles are won or

lost before eighteen than most people

imagine. Great visions come in those

years, great resolutions are made. In

fact, many a man is what he is, be-

cause of what he was before he was

out pr'm‘s ’teens.

It Cost Him

$2500.00





Like many a driver, a well known NIichigan farmer

formerly believed he was exempt from automobile

accident and consequently didn’t need car insurance

because, as he said:





 

   

 





“I always drive carefully.”





True enough; he was cautious and had driven for

years without mishap but history repeats itself and

the inevitable happened. An unavoidable accident

to be sure, but a collision in which he paid the price

and paid dearly.





It all. happened on a country road curve of extreme

sharpness. Coming unexpectedly upon a motor-

cyclist at this point, he was unable to check the

car’s speed sufficiently to get on his own side of the

road and his wheels, losing their grip in the loose

gravel, threw him against the motorcycle, severely

injuring its r’der.





 





 





<1 ,1,__‘





 





Suit was later filled "by the plaintiff whose case was won on

the srength of evidence presented by occupants of another

car who, witnessing the accident. claimed the farmer was on

the wrong side of the road. The verdict cost this farmer

$2500.00 damages in addition to the remorse accompanying

every accident of this kind. And; this loss represented hard

earned savings that had been accumulated for years.





No one can positively avoid accident, because unforscen ha-

zard is constantly lurking around. Yo! can, however, posi-

tively protect yourself AGAINST accident by securing the

liberal U. S. FIVE POINT FULL COVERAGE NON—DE-

DUCTABLE POLICY which faithfully guards the holder

against:

And ALL for the nominal cost of $1.00 per Horse Power plus

the small membership fee of $1.00 annually.





If you haven’t already insured your car, don’t take further

risky chances. Dtn’t play with fate when you can secure

U. S. lVIUTUAL FULL COVERAGE ’INSURANCE so econ-

omically. Ar: insurance that is backed by square-deal methods

built upon the satisfactory settlement of all just claims. A

protection that is rated on the FARMER’S OWN RISK,

without making him build a reserve to pay for the city man ’s

hazard.

EVER has the truth of the state-

ment, “A contented rural popu-

lation is essential to the welfare

of our nation,” been more significant

than now. That this so—called content-

ment is dependent upon a unity of

community interest, as well as the

character of life and the comforts of

homes in the community, is apparent.



One of the functions of the institu-

tions within a community is to devel-

op in the minds of the boys and girls

a. sense of appreciation of their envir-

onment and a vision of ‘the future pos-

sibilities of that community. The rur-

al school holds a vital position in this

regard. As an educational institution

it assists. in molding the thought and

activities of the boys and girls.



That we are going through a period

of educational adjustment, as regards

rural schools, is not questioned. A new

tendency is asserting itself. Perhaps

the best manner of characterizing this

new tendency is to use the words of

John Dewey, who says: “Education

is not preparation fOr some sort of

life; it is Life itself.” The new edu-

cation insists on making the school a

miniature democracy in which the en-

tire community functions. The indus-

tries and the enterprises of the com-

munity form the background for the

technical as well as the cultural ele-

ments of the curriculum. It is at this





By R. A. Turner,





point that Boys’ and Girls’ Club work

enters as an auxiliary to the formal

educational system. Club work implies

that the children-a self-selected

groupwshall utilize the formal educa-

tion of the school in carrying one a

home of a‘ community project. The

school and the home are brought to-

gether on a common basis of educa-

tional function.



Club work may be said to be educa-

tive in the several ways following:

1. Each club member carries out a.

definite project, such as growing an

struction for carrying on the project

are furnished by the agricultural col-

ment of Agriculture. This means that

the club member must study these in.

that he or she may actually apply the

information given. Club work furnish-

es a definite motive for study.

Club Work and the Rural SChoOl





2. In carrying out the project, the

club member acquires a body of knowl-

edge of a practical sort which cannot

be acquired in any other.way. He is

learning to do by doing.



3. Each club member must keep an

accurate record "of. the operations,

costs and incomes from ,his project.

This means a direct application of

arithmetic of a practical type. At the

close of the project, the club member

writes a story of his season’s work and

experiences. This story becomes vital

because it is the actual experience

which he is relating and not some

imaginary experience.



' Since parents and children, teacher,

patron, school and home have a com-

mon interest in the success of “their"

club, community interest is promoted.

Achievement has a very direct bearing

on the lives of boys and girls. Club

work furnishes a definite means where-

by certain achievements may be ac-

complished. The training which the

club member receives is of the “back

to the home” type. It is apparent,

therefore, that club work functions in

a very definite way in the maintaining

of a healthful community life.



To the rural school and the rural

school teacher, Boys’ and Girls’ Club

work provides an avenue for the at-





. tainment of common ideals.





Boys’ and Girls’- Club Doings





TEN THINGS FOR CLUB OFFICERS

TO DO.





 





R. R. A. TURNER, State Boys’



and Girls’ Club Leader, often re-

minds the officers of club groups that

they are being looked to as leaders in

the band of workers in their club to

see that the following things are done

in finishing up the year’s work:



1. To see that every member of the

club finishes his or her job.



2. That every member of the club

harvests his crop or weighs his live

stock properly.



3. That every member of the club is

supplied with a report blank.



4. That every member of the club

.hands in (at least by November 1), his

or her report blank.



5. That every member of the club

shows a portion of his or her products

or live stock at the club exhibit or fair.



6. To make out a complete report in

the secretary’s book of the work done

by the members of the club.



7. That every member of the club is

urged to remain in the work another

year if possible.



8. To set a club goal for your com-

munity and always work toward that

end. ‘ »



9. Insist that club folks are “good

losers.”



10. Adopt the national club motton,

“To Make the Best Better.”—G. O. S.





POLAND-CHINA PICNICS ARE A

success.





 





ORE than three thousand people '





interested in Poland-Chinas at-

tended the five picnics held in Wis-

, cousin the second week in June under

the management of the Wisconsin





Poland-China Breeders’ Association

These affairs were successful beyond

all expectations and reflected a great

deal of credit upon those in charge.

Attendance was good at each place.

A well-balanced speaking program

was carried out, but the real feature

and the one that attracted the most

attention was the giving of several

pure-bred gilts as prizes to boys and

girls between the ages of nine and

nineteen. The pigs were furnished by

the Wisconsin Poland-China Breeders’

Association, local breeders and busi-

ness men. The number of gilts dis-





tributed in this way was thirty-eight

and will doubtless form the nucleus

of very successful pig clubs in each 10-

cality. Wisconsin Poland-China pic-

nics are quite certain to become an-

nual affairs.

and seeded on the samedate to sweet

clover. The clover was a complete

failure on the recently limed land and

very successful on the land that re-

ceived the lime in 1916, or four years

previous. We account for this situa-

tion on the basis of a very low precip-

itation subsequent to application of

limestone in May, 1920, or in other

words, there was not a sufficient

amount of rainfall to assist in incor-

,’ porating the lime with the soil and

, . bring about the desired reactions.

Such conditions do not occur very he

'1 - quently but, of course, they are worth

.0 ' considering.

The lessons to be learned from these

experiments are that wherever practi—

y» cable lime should be applied to the

l soil the season previous to the seeding

.. of clover or alfalfa, as this seems to

__; be a very good insurance. In some por-

' tions of the country lime is applied on

the cultivated crops, notably the corn

i crop. It may be done after the corn

has been planted and the subsequent

tillage operations assist. greatly in mix-

ing it with the soil. One could apply

the lime to other tilled crops, such as

beans.

THE FUTURE OF THE POTATO.





HAT potatoes arelikely’ to make

tion of Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver, pro-

fessor of agricultural economics at

Harvard, in his address, “The Agricul-

tural and Rural Life in this Country,”

delivered before the economic confer-

ence at M. A. C.



The northern strip of the United

States, including Michigan, has a great

future in the potato industry, he said,

and this section may become more

prosperous agriculturally than the

corn belt itself. Because bulky crops

previously. At the Cass county experi-

that is, very finely pulverized material

was applied to a portion of the field

and t6 other portions was applied

limestone carrying larger-sized parti-

cles. In addition, hydrated lime and

marl have been used. Other treatments

of the soil are identical with regard to

cropping and fertilization. During this

period the crop yields every year have

been higher where the very finely

America must turn to the bulky crops

when its land becomes limited. For'

this reason he urged Michigan farmers

to look into the future and think in

terms of one hundred years instead of

ten years.



Dr. Carver found himself facing a

battery of promiscudus questions when

an opportunity was given for discus-

sion of his'address. Farmers present

sought the famous economist’s opinion

on topics ranging from Japanese im-

migration to farm accounting and at

length heated arguments developed

HE farm woman, or, in fact, any

woman with a. little ,plot of

ground, who is looking for away

to make a bit of pin-money with. a

minimum of outlay and a maximum of

pleasure and agreeable work, could not

do better than to try her hand at grow-

ing hardy perennials. That is, if she

loves flowers and is happy digging

about outdoors in the dirt. Now don’t

right away begin to paint flower gard~

ening as a rosy proposition and a sure-

thing money—maker after you buy your

first bulbs or young plants. For na-

ture is no respecter of persons, and

would play hard on your young plants

with as unholy a glee as she would

your neighbor’s straWberry crop.

And drought and insect pests are most

impartial in their treatment of all

forms of plant life. But take it by

and large, flowering for a living has

no more uncertainties than any other

trade or professien which you might

choose as your means of a livelihood.

And, as I say, it takes so little to start

with in the beginning, that is, the rais-

ing of hardy perennials. No hothouses

are necessary, no cold—frames, no any-

thing but the outdoors and some plants

for the initial start.

Grand Rapids, grew out of a flower

garden five feet wide by twenty-five

feet long. As a matter of fact, the

gardens started out to be a chicken

farm. Mrs. Lawson, like many another

city woman, had a vision of a fortune

to be made in $1.00 a dozen eggs and

high-priced broilers. So they bought

five acres on the edge of the city, and

Mrs. Lawson embarked on a career as

a poultry raiser, while Mr. Lawson

continued his work in town.



Of course, they had a flower garden,

and you know, chickens and flowers

won’t mix. Or rather, they mix too

well, that is, the chickens mix with

the flowers too much for the good of

the garden. It didn’t take Mrs. Law-

son long to decide that she’d rather

give up her chickens! than part with

her garden, and the first thing she





Hardy Perennials Are the Basis





 





knew, instead of furnishing “register-

ed” eggs to housewives, she was fur-

nishing flowers for weddings and part-

ies, and selling plants to aspiring

gardeners. ‘



"‘It just grew,” she explained in an-

swer to the question of how she hap-

pened to start. We both love flowers,

and I must confess I didn’t love the

chickens. They are so much work,

and work all the time, every day in

the year and all the hours of the day,

it seemed. And there is so much heavy

dirty work connected with poultry rais-

ing. New with flowers, while that is

work, too, and'there are lots of uncer-

tainties and disappointments it is





pleasant, clean work. .And you needn’t";





be at it the year round, with my sort

of a garden, hardy perennials. Last

year I spent the four cold months in

California. I couldn’t have done that

with chickens. ' "

“With hardy perennials your work

begins in early spring, and keeps up

until frost again. We have some flow-

ers, arb‘utus for instance. that blossom

before the snow is‘entirely gone in the

spring. There are your young-plants

to start,.and transplant, beds to“ clean

out. perhaps new caesium. and the

The spring market is mostly plants.

Everyone is fixing up the grounds, and

plants for bedding are in demand. Lab-

er, during the summer, the trade is

flowers. Just now the old-fashioned

flowers are in demand, we have styles

in flowers as well as in clothes. Lark-

spur, columbine—or honeysuckle—

Linum, forget-menots, baby’s breath,

all the old favorites, are now favorites

again. Baby’s breath is in great de-

mand for its cloudy blossoms which

are so effective in decorations.



“How did I learn about flowers?

Mostly from the garden. Of course,

I studied every book I could get hold

of and subscribed to numerous garden

magazines, but after all, my best

knowledge is what I have gained from

experience. The reading was all rath-





of a Profitable Flower Business.





or blind until I went out and tried to

practice it. One mistake taught me

more than twenty volumes. 0, yes,

you can make mistakes in gardening

as well as in cooking. It isn’t all sun-

shine and flowers. It needs infinite

patience and observation, and much

thought. But it is pleasant work, and

one of the pleasant things about it is

meeting the people who come to buy.

Of courSe, folks who want plants and

flowers will be the sort you’re glad to

meet."



Certainly the gardens look as though

working in them would be as near a.

perfect human employment as any

form of labor could be to a descendant

of Adam. Just at the edge of a, grove

of virgin wood they stretch away in

masses of color, the dominant tone

changing with the days. Today it is

billows of Oriental poppies that com-

mand the attention, tomorrow it will

be columbine, and next stately blue

. In considering a buSiness ofth'is sort

the fit-st'qne’stmn to be asked is, what

shall * I, grow? The second, where

could I market? As to what you should

grow,~ your location must decide that.

Write to a reliable nursery and ask

their advice as to plants best suited to

your locality. Then start with them,

and add to your list as you gain expe-

rience. 'With growing hardy perenni-

als, it is better to grow big than to

start big. Every locality can tell you

a story of someone who started out to

make a fortune with plants and failed

the first year. How many ‘dahlia farms

and tulip farms have burned up or

frozen up in a season? And there was

the man who set out forty acres to

Christmas trees, and retired to the

poor farm the following year. I don’t

remember whether it was drought or

frost that nipped the Christmas trees

before Santa Claus time, but they

went. So if you contemplate raising

plants for the market, start With a

five-foot plot, and watch it grow.



As to a market, of course, if you are

near a fair—sized town there isyour

market. Any town of ten thousand

should offer a market for flowersyand

even a good-sized village will furnish

customers for plants. In the case of

the Lawson gardens, Grand Rapids is

the market, and customers come and

get their own plants. Of course, this

is an ideal arrangement, as shipping

your plants to other towns or to R. F.

D. addresses, means crating and addi-

tional work.

MORE ABOUT VITAMINES.





 





HOW do we know we are getting

the necessary vitamines, if no one

knows what vitamines really are?” de-

mands a woman who wants to know

that her family is properly nourished.

Vitamines, as you know, are the un-

determined food elements, recently dis—

covered; vital to growth and health,

yet not to be class-ed as a protein,

starch or fat. Vitamines seem to be

something like housework. Nobody

notices it if you don’t do it, but if it

is neglected, O, my! So no one thinks

anything about vitamines if the body

gets its quota, but if one is omitted,

then look out for disturbances.





The first, known as fat soluble, is

not only necessary for growth, but its

absence causes a serious disease of the

eye. The second, known as Water

Soluble B, is also most important for

growth, and prevents beri-beri, a dis-

ease common in the Orient, which is

characterized by paralysis. Water Sol-

uble C, the third vitamin-e, not only is

important for growth, but it prevents

scurvy. It might almost be called a

cure for scurvy as well, for where this

disease has been prevalent it has fre-

quently been cured by feeding raw veg-

etables known to contain Water Solu—

ble C. This vitamine is easily destroy-

ed by heat, so it is at its best in un-

cooked vegetables. Too long cooking

kills the power of all the vitamines,

so in cooking any vegetable the time

allowed should be just enough to ad-

mit of thorough cooking.



Now, as to where the vitamines are

found.



Fat Soluble A is found in the follow-

ing foods:



1. Butter, cream, milk; 2, egg yolks;

3, fish oils; 4: green vegetables, cab-

bage, dried ”spinach; 5, glandular or-

gans of the body, as liver and kidneys;

6, carrots, sweet potatoes; 7, .tomaé

toes; 8, germs of seeds; 9, oleo oils.



Water Soluble ’B is found in the fol-

lowing foods:



1. Yeast; 2, eggs; 3, grain embryo;'

4,‘ whole grain; 5, beans; 6, peas; 7,

whole or skim—milk; 8,‘fruit and vege-

tables; 9, powdered and condensed

milk; ~10, nuts; 11,- cheese.

TOMORROW’S DINNER.





Creamed Potatoes

Green Peas

Parker House Rolls

One-crust Cherry Pie

Most of the work on this dinner may

be done the day before.





Veal Loaf.-lFor this any piece of

boiling veal will do. A shank is nice

but any piece for stew will make the

loaf. Cook until tender, remove from

the broth, which should be strained

and allowed to cool. Remove meat

from bone, and discard all gristle and

shred into small pieces. If the broth

hardens, no gelatine need be added. If

it does not thicken to a consistency

to mold, add a little gelatine softened

in cold water. The broth must be re-

heated to melt the gelatine. To one

quart of broth allow four cups of meat,

tw‘o olives chopped fine, two radishes

sliced, and two sprigs of minced pars-

ley. Combine, and mold in a deep

bread tin. When ready to serve gar-

nish with radish roses and parsley.



Green Peas—Allow only enough

boiling water to cover, so that none

need be poured off when the peas are

tender. They should cook in twenty

minutes. Season with salt, pepper and

butter. Three or four tablespoons of

cream makes a nice addition.

beat into the egg yolks. Stir this mix-

ture into the cherries, and pour into

the prepared crust. Put into a cool;

oven and gradually heat. Frost with '

egg whites.





The following proportions make ex—

actly enough crust for one pie or two

shells, if ingredients are carefully mix-

ed: One cup of sifted flour,- two round-

ed tablespoons of lard, three table-

spoons of water.

bread spongs add a half cup of butter,

melted, two tablespoons of sugar, and

flour to knead. Knead twenty minutes,

let rise till double its bulk, then shape

into small round rolls, out half-way

half with melted butter, and fold the

other half over. Place in greased pan

Tu1fE6Y8’a3 a SldeLme





‘By G. K. Riley .





HE farmer who has sufficient



acreage can raise a. flock of tur-



keys with a. reasonable invest-

ment in feed. The small farm is not a.

good proposition for turkey raising as

the birds will range on the neighbors’

land and frequently eat quite a large

amount of grain. The farmer with a.

large. acreage will often have a wood-

land and clover field just right for the

foraging of turkeys.



Young turkeys need feeding about



four times-each day until they are five

or six weeks old. After that they will

follow the turkey hen in her foraging

and pick up much of their living from

the woods and meadows. Turkeys

have a. ravenous appetite for bugs and

seeds and it is very expensive to raise

them properly unless they have the

advantages of a. broad range. The feed

for the young turkeys can at first con-

sist of bread and milk squeezed nearly

dry. Later rolled oats will be of ben-‘

efit to the young birds. As they grow

older wheat screenings and cracked

corn can be fed two or three times

each day. When screenings can not

be obtained very good results are ob-

tained from the commercial scratch

grains such as are used for the laying-

liens. .

When turkeys are strong and well

feathered they will spend much of

their time on the range and may wan~

der far from the house. They should

be encouraged to roost near home as

a safeguard against thieves. If they

are only given one meal a day during

the summer season it should be at

night, as this helps to coax them home

to roost.



If the turkeys roost in a colony

house it should be open clear across

the front to insure a plentiful supply

of air. Enough roosts ,must be pro-

vided to prevent overcrowding. If the

roosting place is not satisfactory to

the birds, their instinct will soon send

them to the trees at night and then it

will be very difficult to teach them to

roost in any kind of a. house. Some

turkey breeders. build a roof on poles

and then cover the sides with fine-

mesh wire. This keeps the rain from

the birds but furnishes an abundance

of fresh air. If such a house is closed

at night it should be opened in the

morning before starting to milk or do

other farm work as the birds find their

best hunting in the cool morning hours

when the insect life is not so active as

later in the day.



Turkeys are an asset on the farm

that is troubled With grasshoppers as

the amount of 'these insects which

they will will clean up in a. few weeks

is very large. Many of the losses in

turkey raising are due to turning the

birds on the range too early in life

without giving them any grain to sup-

plement the feed that they gather for

themselves. When grain is high there





is a temptation. to cut it out of the

turkey’s ration, at least untii fatten-

ing time. ~Young turkeys frequently re-

ceive no attention as Soonpas their

crop seems to contain enough food

which they have found on the range.

A regular growth should be promoted

from the time they are hatched. If

young turkeys are stunted it is very

difficult to bring them back into thrifty

condition, even with the best feeding

methods. Turkeys are discouraging to

the farmer that endeavors to raise

large numbers of them without work,

but they are profitable in the hands

of the grower who will keep vigorous

unrelated breeding stock and feed

enough grain to give the birds a. chance

to grow.





BIG LOSS FROM BAD EGGS.





BY conservative estimate the annual



.loss from bad eggs in one state

alone'is at least $5,000,000. And a.

large percentage of this loss could be

prevented by the simple expedient of

removing the roosters from the sum-

mer flock.



The rooster is a, very necessary

part of the flock during the hatching

season, but as soon as the last setting

has been made his usefulness is ended

and it is time to bid him good-bye.

Roosters eat considerable feed during

the summer and do not add to the egg

production. This puts them in the

same class with the cull hens and

they should be given the same treat-

ment.



At least ninety-nine per cent of the

roosters should be either sold or eaten.

as soon as the breeding season has

passed and all others should be care—

fully penned away from the hens. Deal—

ers are glad to buy discarded males

and often pay a. good premium in or-

der to get them out of the country.



Only. the exceptional rooster is

worth saving for the next year’s breed-

ing pen. Yearling males are more ac-

tive and give better fertility than the

older birds and are to be preferred ex-

cept by the man who is practicing

line breeding." If a rooster is to’be

saved for the next year’s breeding,

then he should by all means be penned

during the. summer to keep him away

from the laying hens. The infertile

egg is the only quality egg in summer

and to produce infertile eggs all ma-

ture males must be kept away from

the laying flock.



Here are seven safe rules for get-

ting the most money from the sum-

mer flock: ‘



1. Produce infertile eggs by remov-

ing the roosters from the flock in the

Summer time.



2. Provide clean nests and keep the





' eggs clean.





3. Do not wash eggs. _

4. Gather eggs twice daily during

CHOLERA OR COPPER POISONING.





 





I have a disease among my hens.

The symptoms are the same as diarr-

hea, only of a green color. When tak4

en by the disease they weaken fast

and soon die. What can be done to

prevent, and cure ?~P. B.



The diarrhea of your chicks is un-

doubtedly caused by copper poisoning

or cholera.



In copper poisoning the feces are

either greenish or bluish and this

diarrhea, accompanied by violent pain,

which is follow-ed by collapse, convul-

sions 0r paralysis. The circulation and

respiration are weak. The disease is

usually fatal in a few hours. The only

remedy is to give large quantities of

white of egg, muscilage or sugar water

as that will correct the effect of the

poison. The chicks may get this poison

by having access to some spray ma-

terial. '



Cholera is a very highly infectious

and fatal disease. The feces of this

disease are usually colored green or

yellow. Urates, or that part of the

excrement which are expelled from the

kidneys are bright yellow, the rest are

bright green.



A bird affected with this disease will

soon separate himself from the rest of

the flock and the feathers are rough-

ened, the wings droop, the head is

drawn down toward the body, there is

also great weakness, and the bird be-

comes drowsy and sinks in a deep

sleep from which it is almost impossi-

ble to arouse it.



The disease may be acute or may be

subacute. The former is fatal 'in a

In the latter case

it may live for several days before

it dies.



There is no certain cure for this dis-

ease. The only remedy would be to

kill off all the birds that show symp-

toms of it, clean the house and disin-

fect it. Also clean and disinfect the

runs and yard.



In killing these birds one precaution

is necessary, and that is, do not kill

the birds around the barnyard or poul-

try house, as the blood contains germs

which would infect the other birds.



Constant vigilance in killing off the

birds which show symptoms of the dis-

ease, and thoroughly disinfecting the

surroundings will in time eliminate

the trouble.





GREASING CHICKS.





My little chicks had blackhead lice

when a couple of days old. Was told

to grease the hen under the wings and

under where the chicks cuddle mostly,

so I did. The next morning I found

twenty dead under one hen and the

rest died during the day, totaling fifty-

I would like to know if I really

greased them too much, as they did

look next morning as though pulled

out of a grease can. My twenty-six

chicks, three days old, had blackhead

lice also. So I greased only the heads

and around the ears with part licene

and part lard. The lice have left them

but now I notice there is something

the matter with their little legs. They

act as a new chick. just out of the

shell, only they seem to shiver all over

and can hardly walk. They seem to

be in pain, as once in a while they

will peep out as though someone was

killing them and either will squat

down or stretch both legs back. I

have them in a V—coop, home-made,

spray them‘ once a week and move

coop and wire run, which is 12x4x2

feet high, every day to a clean spot so

they can have fresh grass. Chicks

have free range. I feed them about

five times a. day. They have free ac-

cess to cracked bone, oyster shell and

charcoal, also dry mash of corn meal,

meat meal and brain, also all the sour

milk they can drink, and cottage





cheese about once a day. Before set





ting hens I always rub them with li-

tmentnand give them

in. and away {romaine





 





we





 





hen coop. Setting hens have feed and

fresh water all the time, and can dust

themselves at any time they are off

the nest. F. J. S.





You have undoubtedly used too

much grease on your hens and chicks.

'It is advisable when applying the

grease to rub it in quite thoroughly,

and then wipe off what excess grease

there may be.



What may cause serious trouble is

the allowing of the chicks to run out

in the warm sun after they had been

greased. This frequently causes symp-

toms similar to what you have de-

scribed.



When applying blue ointment be

sure to rub it in thoroughly. It is very

essential to do this as ‘any surplus of

blue ointment may be picked at by

either the hen or the chicks, which

would thereby become poisoned by it.

Blue ointment is a poison and would

cause serious trouble if gotten into

the digestive system of the chicken.



Your'method of feeding and the care

of the chicks seem to be all right, so

the cause of the trouble is no doubt

your method of applying the grease.





GOSLINGS DIE SU EDEN LY.





My young geese from eight to twelve

weeks old are dying. They will seem

all right and in perhaps a few hours

be dead. The first three weeks I feed

bread and milk, after that they run in

pasture field that has a creek flowing

through, and are there from morning

until night. They seem to get weak

in legs and can not walk; will some-

times (lie sitting in creek. Can you

tell what is the matter and what to do

for them? W. H. F.





The symptoms indicate that the gos-

lings died of congestion of the brain.

This is often said to be caused by par-

asitic worms in the intestines. If

worms are found in the droopings give





each gosling a half teaspoonful of tur- .





pentine. Place this down in the throat

with a medicine dropper or the bird

will not get the benefit of much of it.



If the birds have stuffed with some-

thing that has produced acute indiges-

tion give each gosling two tablespoon-

fuls of castor oil. If the goslings ap-

pear weak it might pay to keep them

in a small fenced range where the ra-

tion can be controlled until they be-

come stronger.—R. G. K.





GOING LIGHT. ,





We have lost several hens, and

while they did not appear sick, the

combs get pale, and they haven’t much

life toward the last. Several neigh-

bors are having the same experience.

Our flock are White Leghorns. We

feed oats, wheat and screenings in the

morning middlings and sour milk at

noon, and corn in the evening. What

can I do to prevent further losses?



C. L. B.





The symptoms indicate that the

hens have the disease commonly call-

ed “going light.” It is not tubercu-

losis but is caused by worms or bac—

teria in the small intestines. It is

often due to mites and lice sapping the

strength of the birds. The comb be—

comes pale and the body emaciated

and the bird may live several weeks.



A bird suspected of having worms

may be given a mixture of turpentine

and olive oil. The dose consisting of

about twenty~five drops. Two hours

later give a tablespoonful of castor oil.

Clean soil on the range, spraying the

house with coal tar disinfectants and

a clean water supply help to keep

down infestations of worms and keep

the hens vigorous.



The sudden death of a bird that has

appeared healthy is often due to hem-

orrhage of the brain. 'In a flock of

eighty hens which have been laying

heavily all winter, a few of the hens

may break down and‘ die from various

causes. Of course, hens are subject

to a normal death rate the same as

all farm animals and several hens

might die each year out of a flock of

eighty without causing undue alarm.

However success with poultry depends

on keeping this death rate to the low,

Foot Soreness.—-—We have an eight-

.year-old mare that seems to be‘ sore;-

it seemingly relieves her to stand in

a stretched out position, but she holds

her head high. She has been worked

by hired help, consequently had only

ordinary care. Mrs. W. C. 8., Marcel-

lus, Mich—Stand her with forefeet in

wet clay for two hours daily.





Worms.———Have a mare eight years

old that has too many worms. When

hauling a. heavy load she blows and

breathes too fast. F. 0., Alma, Mich.

-Give her sixty grains of santonin

and one ounce of ground gentian at a

dose in bran mash twice a. week for

three weeks. Don’t feed her too much

bulky food.





Thin Mare—We bought a. nine-year'-

old mare last fall. She was exceeding-

ly thin, fed her well for thirty days,

then put her to work, but she has not

gained in flesh. What can be done to

build her up?‘ Mrs. H. S., Williamston,

Mich—You should not expect her to

lay on much flesh, if worked. It is

not good practice to give a well ani-,

mal drugs. Increase her grain ration,

she will pick up when cold weather

sets in.



Suppurating Lymphangitis.—I have

a. three-year-old colt with a big leg.

Six weeks ago the leg suddenly swell—

.ed; some. time later leg opened near

hock joint. Have applied poultices to'

make sore run. Exercise reduces the

swelling. I have a plied commercial

remedies. L. 8., R0 ney, Mich.—Don’t

poultice leg, it will do harm. Apply

equal parts of oxide of zinc and boric

acid to wound twice a. day.

sixty grains of potassium iodide at a.

dose twice daily.





Collar Gall.—-There is quite a. pouch

or sack on shoulder, rest does it good,

but when worked pouch swells consid-

erable. The shoulder is not sore. W.

B., Beaverton, Mich.—~Dissolve quarter

of a pound of acetate of lead and four

ounces of tannic acid in one gallon of

cold water and apply to shoulder three

or four times a. day.



Grass Colic—Whenever we turn our.

three horses out to pasture they take

colic, but soon recover. Soon after

eating grass it causes pain or colic.

Mrs. F. M., Hopkins, Mich.———If you will

allow the horses to eat some grass or

green feed with the dry they will soon

get accustomed to it, then let them fun

in pasture.



GargeL—Can you publish a. cure for.

garget? Onequaner of udder swells

occasionally, but strange to say. the

swelling soon leaves. When the udder

is swelled she gives bloody milk. Cow

is on pasture and seemingly in good

condition. Subscriber.—Your cow

bruises her udder, causing it to swell.

Try to ascertain the cause, remove the

cause and she will remain well.





.Tuberculosisr—One of my cows took

Sick some time ago, gradually grew

weaker and I killed her. Cut her open

and found the lungs filled with yellow

spots. What ailed her? E. R., Sut-

tons Bay, Mich.——Doubtless she suffer-

ed from tuberculosis, an incurable dis

ease. Have the rest of your stock test-

ed with tuberculin. This is work for

four local or state veterinarians.





Infected Udder.—We have cow that

has udder trouble which is making

milking Quite hard. Two of the four

quarters are affected. The bag is cak-

ed. .J. H. R., Concord. Mich—Give her

half-ounce doses of fluid extract of

poke three times a. day. Apply one part

of fluid extract of belladonna, one part

fluid extract of poke and six parts of

lanolin to caked portion of udder twice

a, day. Use milking tube, this will make

milking easier.



Barrenness.——Ha.ve a. cow that came

fresh last .March; since then she has

not been in heat. W. W. F.. Douglas,

Mich.——Give her one dram of ground

(111m; vomica at a. dose in feed twice a



ay.

‘A‘CCREDITED HERDS IN MICH-





HERE Were 191 accredited herds,



with a total of 4,279 animals ad-

ded to the list in Michigan, according

to a report of the bureau of animal in-

dustry of the federal department of

2,321 herds consisting of 42,574 ani-

mals under supervision of state and

' HORSE POPULATION.





HE United States Census figures,

i‘ which give a grand total of 27,676,-

' 939 horses and mules on January 1,



1920——an increase of nearly a million



in the last decade. Of the total 20,667,-

F 319 horses and mules were of working

age—coming four years and over. Ap-

proximately 17,000,000 were in harness

doing farm work, and 2,000,000, in

round numbers, actually at work in

} cities, towns and villages. These 19,-

( 000,000 horses and mules in service,

,. require 9,500,000 sets of harness of

HOT-WEATHER RULES FOR HORSE

USERS.





HE following rules prepared by the

Work—horse Relief Association are

worthy of careful study by every per-

son who owns or works horses. A good

plan is to tack the rules up in-the sta~

ble where they can be referred to fre-

quently.

1. Load lightly, and drive slowly.

2. Stop in the shade if possible.

Q 3. A sponge on top of the head, or

' even a cloth, is good if kept wet. If

dry it is worse than nothing.

4. Water your horse as often as pos-

sible. So long as a horse is working,

_ : water in small quantities will not hurt

'. him. But let him drink only a few

" swallows if he is going to stand still.

‘- 5. When he comes in after work,

' sponge off the harness marks and

‘. sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth,

' g and the dock. Wash his feet but not

‘7' his legs.



6. If the thermometer is seventy-

five degrees or higher, wipe him all

over with a damp sponge, using vine-

gar water if possible. Do not wash

the horse ‘at night.



7. Saturday night, give a bran mash,

lukewarm; and add a tablespoonful of



~saltpetre.



.. 8. Watch your horse. If he stops

‘ «sweating suddenly, or if he breathes

"short and quick, or if his ears droop,

' he stands ‘ fw'ith, his , legs [braced

b . in. V e‘ civilians:





 





 





sun stroke and needs attention at

once.



9. If the horse is overcome. by heat,

get him into the shade, remove har-

ness and bridle, wash out his mouth,

sponge him all over, shower his legs,

and give him two ounces of aromatic

spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of

sweet spirits of niter, in a pint of wa-

ter; or give him a pint of coffee warm.

Cool his head at once, using cold wa-

ter, or, if necessary, chopped ice, wrap-

ped in a cloth.



10. If the horse is off his feed, try





him with two quarts of oats mixedl

with bran, and a little water; and add ‘





a little‘salt or sugar. Or give him oat-

meal gruel or barley water to drink.

11. Clean your horse at night, so





that he can rest well, and clean him :

The salt dandruff drying g

on his skin makes him uncomfortable, ,'





thoroughly.





and often produces sores under the:





harness.





12. Do not fail to water him at night 1





after he has eaten his hay. If you

don’t he will be thirsty all night.



13. If it is so hot that the horse

sweats in the stable at night, tie him

outside, with bedding under him. Un-

less he cools off during the night, he

cannot well stand the next day’s heat.





INDIANA MAN BUYS RANCH.





HE man who has once been a



farmer never gets the love of the

soil entirely out of his system,” is the

comment of S. L. Eisler, of Indiana,

who recently purchased twelve hun-

dred acres of wild land in Alcona

county, and is spending thousands of

dollars in developing it to a point of

production.



In addition to planning on develop-

ing the ranch, Mr. Eisler is trying to

instill a “back to the land” spirit in

some of his countrymen. He comes

from the “steel city” of the mid-west,

where thousands of foreign laborers

are employed and where they have

earned big wages for several years,

but he says many of them have saved

practically nothing.



“I am trying to show two of them

that they can make more money out

of the land than they can in the mill,”

he said. “I sold two men a one-sev-

enth interest in this ranch at cost of

the land, and they have gone on it to

work it. I have agreedto give them

back their money at seven per cent

interest if, at the end of two years,

they are not satisfied, and in the mean-

time I am providing them with a liv-

ing and paying the cost of equipping

the ranch, from fencing to buildings,

and providing all needed machinery.



“These men had worked in Gary for

ten to fifteen years, and one of them

had nothing, while the other had a

$3,500 equity in some real estate. They

will both have more money at the end

of five years than they have been able

to save in their long years in the steel

mills, and they will get it with less

hard work, provided they stick to their

jobs.



“There are many more workmen

who, in the old country, were farmers,

who would be ‘glad to get back to the

land if it were not for the fear that

they would be “stung” by buying

worthless land. Some of them have

been caught in that way and this has

given others the impression that there

is no good land to be had in Michigan

at a price they can afford to pay. I

went over a good deal of northern

Michigan before buying in Alcona

county, and I know there are hun-

dreds of thousands of acres of the fin-

est soil in the territory, and Wherever

WHEAT





Spring wheat has been severely in-

jured by dry weather in the northwest

which, starting in South Dakota, has

Spread into North Dakota, Montana

and also into Canada. The movement

of new wheat has not gotten under

way as rapidly as expected two weeks

ago, due to rains which have delayed

threshing and which have also reduced

the quality through sprouting in the

shock, especially in Oklahoma. Old

wheat, however, is still coming for-

ward at a surprising rate, averaging

about 1,000,000 bushels per day, which

is an unusually large total for this sea-

son of the year. All reports indicate

that new wheat will be sold rather

freely as soon as threshed. Prices de-

clined early in the week and as low as

90 cents was paid to growers in Kan-

sas. Producers are less willing to con-

tract new wheat on this basis, espe-

cially with the spring wheat crop de-

teriorating from drouth. Foreign crop

reports have become more discourag-

ing. The United Kingdom, Russia,

Roumania and Argentina all reported

drouth while the French drouth is said

to be the worst in forty-seven years.

It has been hinted that Russia may

need to import twenty to thirty mil—

lion bushels instead of becoming again

the world’s leading exporter.





CORN





Corn prices remain low as stocks on

farms and in terminal markets are

large and the movement to primary

markets is ample. Both industrial and

eastern shipping demand are rather

slack and Argentina appears to be car-

ing for the foreign outlet. Thus far

crop prospects are flattering. Rains

are needed in large areas West of the

Mississippi river or damage will occur

in the next few weeks. Seldom has

the corn market faced such large sup-

plies of old corn together with such a

large new crop. Private reports point

to a yield of a little over 3,000,000,000

bushels on the basis of present pros-





pects.

OATS





Reports of oat crop damage have’ ‘Fair lambs . . . . . . . . . . .





been more numerous during the past

week. Oklahoma rains have prevented

cutting about twenty-five per cent of

‘the acreage while hot dry weather in

the north has prevented the filling or

the grain. The supply of old cats is

unusually large. A great deal of new

oats is ikely to arrive at terminals

during July but crop reports indicate

that much of it will be light in weight.

Demand is ,dull. The east has a poor

-‘crpp of cats as well as hay, so that

the demand from that section may in-

DS





Feed .markets- continue weak. espe-

cially bran and standard middlings.

Middling prices are low compared with

corn and do not seem likely to decline

much further. Stocksvof all feeds are

fiblrllltldant with demand comparatively



g .. .





HAY





Hay markets are dull affairs for the

most part, with receipts light and de-

mand extremely limited. Alfalfa and

timothy hay prices are high compared

with other feeds but prairie hay is

quoted so low that large areas are ex-

pected to remain uncut and further de-

clines in this division are not probable.





EGGS AN D POULTRY





Egg prices have been on the upgrade

during the past week due to gradually

declining receipts which are now run-

ning far below those of the same pe-

riod last year. Receipts at the four

leading cities since January 1 total

9,549,147 cases compared with 8,378,-

853 cases during the same period last

year. Poultry prices have remained

high compared with the price levels of

other meats but the long expected de-

cline started during the past week,

hens losing five cents and broilers 12

cents per pound in two days at Chica-

go. Latest quotations were as follows:

Chicago—Eggs, fresh firsts 25@26c;

ordinary firsts 23@24c. Poultry broil-

ers 300; hens general run 22@230;

roosters 121/20; ducks 24c; geese 18c;

turkeys 300.



I)etroit.——Live poultry, hens at 25@





27c; roosters 15c; geese' 15c; ducks



30@35c; turkeys 25c; broilers 40@42c.

BUTTER



Butter markets remained rather





firm during the past week. Consump<

tive demand along with speculative

buying kept receipts well cleaned up,

even of undergrades, the percentage

of which was increased by hot weath‘

er. Movement into storage continues

heavy. Prices for 92-score fresh but-

ter as quoted by the bureau of mar-





kets on July 1 were: Chicago. 35350.;

New York 35%c; Boston 370; Philav

delphia 361,50.





CHEESE



Trade in cheese distributing mar-

kets improved during the past week as

consumptive and speculative demand

readily absorbed all receipts. Specu-

lative buying was particularly strong

on twins and longhorns. White cheese

is in good demand with light offerings

since cheesemakers prefer to produce

colored cheese as the quality does not

need to be quite so high to obtain top

prices. Hot weather has reduced the

average quality considerably and un-

dergrades are abundant but 9 en these

have found a fairly ready 0 let.





WOOL





Woolen mills continue to take their

time- in the purchase of raw wool, al-

though they are carrying lighter stocks

than usual. They are evidently using

a nearly normal amount of wool, but

supplies are too large to cause any

immediate concern on their part over

an advance in the market. Prices

show little change. Foreign auctions

are not quite so brisk‘as two weeks

ago and some apprehension is express-

ed lest the large stocks in Australia,

New Zealand and Great Britain cannot

be withheld from the market long

enough to maintain prevailing quota-

tions. The proposed duty in the per-

manent tariff bill is 25 cents a pound

upon the actual wool content and 26

cents upon scoured wool. It is rather

difficult to make comparisons because

of the different basis used but the duty

upon wool in the grease is believed to

be slightly higher than the old Payne-

Aldrich tariff, while the duty upon

scoured wool is seven cents lower than

formerly.





POTATOES





Old potato supplies are practically

absent from the market partly because

prices are too low to justify shipping.

New potato shipments are running

heavier than during the same period

last year. Prices on new stock range

from $3.50@4 per barrel wholesale on

midwestem markets and from $1.50@

3 per barrel on eastern markets.

Hoes SURPRIslNGLY e'rnone.





The hog market has surprised it!

friends by a sharp advance to the high-

est point in nearly three months. Re-

ceipts have not been light but con-

sumptive demand both domestic and

export, shows no abatement. Lighter

receipts are to be expected during July

and August unless past history is to

be reversed. Since the market has

advanced rapidly under present runs,

there is abundant reason for believing

that higher prices will be seen before

summer is over. The market probably

has advanced about as far as can be

expected for the present and a moder-

ate setback will not be surprising, but

an upward trend is to be expected dur-

ing the next six or eight weeks.



The premium on light weights in-

creased materially during the past

week as packing sows were more nu.

merous and advanced but little, also

eastern shippers who buy light hogs

principally were an important factor

in causing the upturn. The spreads

will undoubtedly widen much more

during the next two months.



The provision situation shows little

change but it is becoming more and

more evident that the supply of cured

meats can be disposed of before the

fall\ run of hogs starts, and if the de-

mand for lard broadens as much in the

late summer and fall months as it usu—

ally does, the immense holdings will

largely pass into consuming channels

before the end of the year.

ual. Receipts at all points are light

but demand is «still more limited and

there is no prospect of an early change

in conditions. Only an occasional in-

d1v1dual sells above $200 at Chicago

and choice 1700-pound drafters have

sold for $175@185 or about $100 per *

head less than a few months ago. The

prices paid to farmers for horses are

about 30 per cent below the five—year,

pre-war average.





 





This year the emergency tariff will

retard or prohibit the movement of-

cattle from Canada. In the ten months

ending April 30, 309,000 head of cattle

TRADING PURE-BR EDS FOR

scauss.





\





HOUGH the itinerary fo rthe “bet-.





ter sire train,” to be run through

a. number of Michigan counties in .Aug-

net, is still not definitely arranged,

plans are already being laid for the

distribtion of pure-bred bulls through

a. four—fold method of exchange.



To 'make certain that an adequate

number of these high-class animals is

placed. within reach of dairymen of

the state, one blooded sire will be

traded in every county visited, for a

scrub, animal for animal.





to pool their resources and own the

pure-bred cooperatively.



In addition, all scrub and grade bulls

of breeding age will be bought at a

one cent premium per pound over pre-

vailing Detroit market prices and in

return registered Holstein bulls will

be provided at a special low price. Ac-

cording to a third proposal some local

group such as a chamber of commerce

interested in stimulating the dairy in-

dustry will be persuaded to buy the

pure—bred sire. It may then be placed

with a suitable farmer by means of

tickets numbered and given out by

merchants. The fourth part of the

plan calls for the formation of bull as

sociations. This idea is the one most

favored by dairy leaders in the state.

. If carried out, the tour will be under

the joint auspices of M. A. C., rail-

roads and the Michigan Holstein-Frie-

ian Association.——H.





REFORESTATION WORK ‘IN THE

UPPER PENINSULA.





HE work of reforestation which



the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company

is carrying on on Grand Island is in-

teresting. This is a matter with which,

I understand, the president of the com—

pany has at heart. This work has been

carried on during the past four years,

and some nine hundred thousand

White pine seedlings have been set

out. Those I saw were doing very well,

as one should expect, as there is still

considerable virgin white pine on the

island. The process of transplanting

is a simple one. An axe blade makes

the hole in the ground, which, after

the roots are in position, is closed by

the two feet of the operator, which,

placed on either side of the plant,

press the earth tightly about it. The

seedlings are set out promiscuously

timber, where

this is not already too dense. The two

enemies of the forest—fire and the as-

sessor—are not likely to intrude here,

and we are likely to see a new white

pine forest arising on the ruins of the

old. It would be sheer stupidity to dis—

courage such plantations through an

immediate increase of assessments, as

has at some points on occasion taken

place. These seedlings cannot for

many years have any commercial val-

ue. When‘thoy do become commer-

cially important, the present officers

and the owners of this concern will

not be here to enjoy the fruits of their

foresight. It is a splendid work they

have inaugurated, and it should have

If work of this

character had been begun in Michigan

3. half century ago, our standing tim-

ber situation would now be much more

favorable than it is.—Cn.~.sn.
