CURRENT COMMENT





N some of Michi

gan’s rural commu





 





 





 





 





 





TowPShlp nities the voters have

High already decided in fa

Schools vor of the consolidatd





ed rural school sys«

tem and will start out the present

school year in the development of that

system. Under the guidance of a com

potent principal it may be expected

that these schools will be a pronounc

ed advancement toward the better eds

ucation of country boys and girls in.

the sections where they are located

These schools, however, will not ful

fill their highest mission unless they

are made of benefit to the older gen

eration in the community as well as

to the country boys and girls. In many

localities where consolidated schools

have been established in other states,

the adult class in agriculture has been

the largest class in the school and

often the most interested class. With

the facilities which the township high

school will have, or should have, in the

way of laboratory equipment and ex-

perimental plots, very much can be

done in the way of practical demon.

stration of agricultural problems. Many

farmers in every community where

township high schools are established,

can be of great aid to the school teach-_

er by suggesting lines of investigation

and demonstration which are particu-

larly adapt-ed to the solution of agri—

cultural problems in the locality, and

which could be made the basis of in-

teresting lectures or demonstrations

to adult classes in agriculture or at in-

stitute meetings, or whatever term

might be used in connection with this

kind of work.



.The township high school, if it ful-

fills its possibility, will occupy a much

more important place in the life of the

rural community than does the ordi-

nary high school in the life of the ur-

ban community, inasmuch as it can be

made a center of community interest

for the study and demonstration of all

kinds of interesting problems, thus

giving the work of the school a prac-

tical application which will go far to-

ward interesting the country boys and

girls in farming as a business and in

improving farming methods in the

district. But the township high school

;will not reach its highest development

in any community where the whole

burden of its development is left to

the initiative of the principal engaged

to conduct it. It needs the active co-

operation, the advice, and the assist-

once of the progressive farmers of the

township, and the cases where they

work with him toward the building up





 





 





of the best and most generous; yhelpt’nlf

type of township high schools will be»





come striking object lesSons for the

rest of the state, and thus hasten the

general development and betterment

of our rural educational- system: This

is an obligation every farmer in every

township where the consolidated

school plan is being inaugurated should

recognize and discharge to the best of

his ability.





HILE as a gen-

eral proposition

specific dates'for ag-

ricultural fairs ‘in var-

ious districts and

counties of the state

are held as a matter of precedence

from year to year, there are from time

to time conspicuous examples in which

local strife and prejudice as between

rival towns interfere with the estab-

lished schedule to the detriment of all

concerned, particularly so far as the

success and educational values of fairs

themselves are concerned. There is a

conspicuous example of this kind in

the Michigan fair circuit this year, the

discussion of which among live stock

exhibitors has brought out another

side of this fair date proposition which

fair managers everywhere would do

well to consider as a possible means

of greatly improving the educational

value of their several fair enterprises.

The breeder who goes to the expense

and trouble of fitting a herd of live

stock for exhibition at the fairs, natur-

ally desires to show them at as many

fairs as possible in his home state, but

to do this with any degree of economy

he must 'be able to figure out a circuit

of fairs which he can reach conven~

iently, one from another, one each

week while he is out on the road with

his herd or flock. He cannot conven-

iently or profitably lay off a week be-

tween exhibits, nor economically make

long shipments back and forth across

the state in order to reach the fairs at

which he would like to exhibit his

stock. A free and full discussion of

this proposition by exhibitors at the

recent State Fair, has brought out the

idea, that by some slight changes in

schedules of fair dates, much longer

and more convenient circuits of fairs

could be arranged by exhibitors which

would be beneficial to all concerned,

including the fairs which such rear-

rangement would permit them to add

to their list. In order to accomplish

such a result, it would be necessary to

have a common meeting ground and an

unprejudiced arbitrator of differences

of opinion. The natural meeting

ground of such a discussion would be

the New State Department of Agricul-

ture, and the best possible arbitrator

would be Commissioner Halladay, who

is ex-oflicio chairman of the State Fair

Board. We voice the sentiment of a

number of Michigan live stock breed-

ers and exhibitors in urging a get-to—

gether program between fair manag-

ers along the line above indicated, as

a means to the end of the betterment

of Michigan agricultural fairs as a

whole and the increase of their educa-

tional Value to the farmers of the var-

ious localities and sections of the state

in which they are held.

AREFUL students

romlsn‘tg ent in their declara-



Outlook tion that the mainte-





nance of country life

is necessary to the perpetuity of the

nation. In other words, if country life

fails the nation’s days are numbered.

Rural life, they insist, is the fountain

spring from which the present civili-

zation receives its fresh blood. Strong,





vigorous capable men and women are ‘_





being constantly recruited from the

farms to lead the industrial world.





'Their rugged bodies, active minds,an_d_:'_

out in the great maelstrom of activi-





ties centering in the cities.





But these studious persons are get-

ting anxious ,about the future. They

fear that rural life has been drawn

upon so heavily that the blue blood

is about exhausted and that sooner or

later national decay Will start. It is

well, of course, that every precaution

be taken to preserve to the nation this

great cradle of leadership. To this end

it is of the highest significance that

rural life be made not only attractive

but really worth while, that the farm

boy and“ the farm girl may have the

opportunity to put every talent they

possess out to usury instead of being

obliged to bury them in the ground.



However, if our learned economists

and sociologists would take a. few days

off to visit some of the big, as well as

the small fairs, and witness the in-

dustry, the spirit of cooperation and





the accomplishments of our farm boys.





and girls they would cease being con-





cerned about the present and the near





future. From every fair, almost,

comes reports of what these young-

sters are doing and it is evident that

unless the older generation gets out

and hustles in but a short while these

lads and lassies will be doing the ma-

jority of the outstanding things in ag-

riculture. The development of this

spirit and leadership ability is due to

a combination of influences. Perhaps

the most direct institution 'for their

promotion is the boys’ and girls’ 'club





work. Then there is the better rural?





schools, more capable teachers, live

country churches, active granges,

farmers’ clubs and gleaners’ organiza-

tions all cooperating to lead the jun-

ior farmers to enjoy the blessings and

the advantages of a full life. How-

ever, if the national outlook is depend-

ent upon our rural youth the future is

certainly most promising.





N these days of re-

Union? overhauling to make,





ready for running on

an economic basis, the farmer should

look well to the poultry department of

his business. It has been demonstrat-

ed that eggs and other poultry prod-

ucts can be more economically produc-

ed upon the general farm than on the

special farm. The average farmer has

waste feed and, through a large por-

tion of the year, spare time which can

be turned into income through the

poultry flock. However, according to

the last census there were' 10,913,645

chickens upon the farms of Michigan

on January 1, 1920, or an increase of

1,215,244 birds over the number for

1910; whereas the number of eggs

laid during the year 1919 amounted to

55,986,999 dozen, as against 59,556,356





_dozen for 1909, or a decrease of»3,596,-





358 dozen. The average production of

the laying hen is apparently less than

six dozen per .year. It could be in-

creased twenty-five per cent through

the exercise of such care and atten-

tion as the average person is able to

give. Persistent work on the part of

dairymen has developed cows which

are more economical in turning feed

into milk or butter-fat than were their

progenitors. Thought given to the

breeding of better poultry through the

careful culling of the flock and the in-

troduction of'improved blood, and to

provide more suitable quarters and

feed, is certain to lift this branch of

the farm business to where it will

prove a. worth- while asset to the in

come of the farm family.

HE potato crop will be harvest-



ed more promptly this season



than usual, although where the

tops remain green growers will hold

off as long as possible to get the ad«

vantage of all the fall growth. Other

work will be cleared away much ear-

lier than in normal seasons and this

will permit getting the potatoes out

when the crop is ready and weather

conditions permit.



If the potatoes have not been affect-

ed with blight or rot the best time to

dig them is as soon as the tops have

died, if the weather is favorable. Po~

tatoes are usually dug just after the

corn is harvested or before the frost

becomes severe enough to freeze the

soil to a depth of an inch or so. This

time of digging is usually chosen as a

matter of convenience and quite irre-

spective of when the stalks die, as the

latter dry up in many places early, and

often before September 1, while many

growers find it satisfactory to wait a

month to dig. Where the soil is well

drained and not wet there is not much

danger to the crop by leaving it in the

ground for a month.



Potatoes which have been killed by

late blight will usually rot as soon as

the conditions are favorable, and for

this reason a diseased crop is far bet-

ter left in the ground, since the tubers

which are diseased will most of them

show signs of rot before they have to

be taken up on account of frost and

they need not be picked up at all. If

diseased potatoes are dug and stored

as soon as the tops are dead, the dis-

ease will be almost certain to develop

in the pit or cellar and healthy tubers

will rot from contact with the diseased

ones. And it is positively not a good

practice to harvest diseased tubers and

allow them to lay in the field. It is

better to delay digging as 10ng as pos-

sible and then put the potatoes in a

cool, well ventilated cellar. where the

disease may be checked. ,Potatoes in

wet soil should be dug sooner than

those in that which is drier and well

drained.





Some‘seasons farmers did not have

very ideal potato harvesting weather.

But it is best, as we all know, to use

the bright, dry days for digging, so

that When placed in storage the tubers

will be perfectly dry. If they are hous-

ed when damp they are apt to develop

disease, and thousands of perfectly

healthy potatoes spoil each year from

this cause, which have been produced

in a stage of health in the field.



On small plots hand-work is all right

for harvesting, but the machine digger

is just the thing for large acreages. It

is possible to raise the crop more eco-

nomically with the machine than with

the plow or fork, and to finish the job

Profits Depend on Careful Heed/mg in Me Field

while the weather is certain. The

plow leaves too many in the ground,

and the fork spoils too many good tu-

bers. The machine creeps down under

the rows, when properly set, and

throws the tubers out back with the

least possible waste and the greatest

economy of operation.



Next to the field work, the storage

is the next important part of potato

raising, where the crop is not sold

direct from the field. The crop should

be stored in a dry, well ventilated cel-

lar which is perfectly dark. Great

losses, unnecessary, occur each year

from carelessness in storing the potato

crop. The tubers are placed in wet or

comparatively warm and poorly ven-





ning from the top to the bottom of the

pile should be put in here and there

through the pile. These, with the ven-

tilation at the sides and bottom will

keep the potatoes in much better con-

dition than if they are in a solid pile.



Another good plan is to keep the

potatoes in large crates made with

slatS’close enough together to protect

the potatoes from falling out. The

ventilation between these crates as-

sists in keeping the tubers in good

condition. The temperature should be

kept as near thirty-three to thirty—five

degrees as possible. The cooler pota-

toes are kept without freezing the bet-

ter. Not only are the seed potaotes





injured by being permitted to sprout





 





w.





tilated cellars and piled in great bins,

giving almost ideal conditions for the

development of the disease which may

be in them and very favorable condi-

tions for healthy potatoes to develop

rot.



The expense of putting in a good

system of ventilation in a cellar is

soon‘offset by the better condition in

which the potatoes keep, and the prof-

its increase fast when they are prop-

erly cared for. At any rate, a good

circulation of air should be provided

around the stored potatoes. Instead

of piling them against the wall or on

the floor‘, slats should be nailed a little

apart about six inches or more from

the wall. This insures circulation of

air behind the pile. A temporary floor

may be put in about six inches above

the cellar-bottom with [crack between

the boards. This also permits circu-





lation under the pile. Then if the piles ‘





must be made very large, square venti-

lators of woo’d made of slats and run-

during the winter, sapping up their

germinating powers, but the potatoes

are injured for eating purposes as well.

And when they are held for spring

sales, the shrinkage is larger where

they have not been cool enough. The

storage room should be arranged so

that during moderate weather air may

be let in during the night when the

temperature is lowest. The ventilator

should be closed during the daytime.

The custom of storing the surplus

crop, not marketed direct from the

field, outdoors, is growing, especially

where drainage conditions permit. To

store, say one thousand bushels, a hole

in the ground fourteen feet wide, from

four to four and a half feet deep, and

about. thirty feet long, will give suffi-

cient space. The sides and ends of the

hole may be lined with boards to pro-

tect them from the earth falling in,

though the earth may be braced back

with poles. Fill the hole to a height

of three and a half feet with potatoes,





 





‘ . w .





 

 





then place small logs along the sides

the roof. The depth of this side log

and elevation in the center of the roof

is to be left as an air space and no

straw or rubbish whatever is placed

on top of the potatoes. A roof is made

with poles placed close together. There

should be but a slight elevation at the

center of the roof.



When the poles for the roof are in

place there should be a little hay

thrown over them to keep the soil from

falling through. The roof should be ,

well sodded and some of the loose 'dirt

which lies at the side shoveled over

the sod to make a total depth of sod

and earth of one foot. Then another

foot of well-rotted, dry horse manure

will keep the potatoes during the most

severe weather.



The natural ground heat from the

bottom keeps the temperature fairly,

even. In a pit this size there must be

provided three ventilators, each of

which is about foureby-six inches,

which may be made of ordinary

boards, one ventilator placed at each

end of the pile and one in the center.

These should be put in when the sod

is being put on, and made long enough

to reach out of the mulch of manure.

The ventilators must be closed in very

cold weather by putting old sacks in‘

them, and when the weather becomes

frosty the center one is kept closed all

the time. No potatoes should be di-

rectly under the end ventilators, as

the drip of water from them might

cause rot. A thermometer may be

used to test the temperature. But the

temperature should not go much below

forty degrees in a pile of this kind.

If the pit is dug four or five feet long-

er than the thirty feet, and covered

over, this will make an excellent place

to take out potatoes early in spring

without moving the remainder of the

pile.



If a small quantity is to be stored

and also where drainage conditions

are not good, it, is advisable to excaa

vate not more than six inches. The

shape of the pit should be long and

narrow. The \potatoes should not be

piled too high. Good wheat straw is

the best litter to use over the pota-

toes. This should be carefully laid

with the general direction Of the

straws up and down the side of the

pit and thick enough to be about six

inches deep after a layer of earth is

thrown over it. When the weather

grows colder add more soil; then late

er still another layer each of straw'

and soil. Before extreme tempera.-

tures are here a heavy coating of clo-

ver chaff will keep the pit dry and

free from frost danger. Where no

chaff is available give the pit another

coating of straw and a heavy applica-

ENCOURAGING BETTER SIRES.





 





TJE government reports show a



marked decrease in the number

'of sheep on American farms since the

slump in wool over a year ago. The

farmers in many instances are reduc-

ing their flocks. But while the flocks

are declining in‘ size, there is a ten-

'dency to improve the quality by better

breeding as one means of getting more

satisfactory returns.



In several Kentucky counties where

sheep husbandry is one of the major

farm projects, sheep breeders’ associr

ations are being formed. One of the

requirements for membership is that

pure-bred rams must be used in the

hooks, and the idea is taking well.



The better sires campaign is being

pushed by the Bureau of Animal In-

dustry in several states with very sat-

isfactory results in live stock improve.

ment, larger production and better re—

turns.





TRYING TO HELP MARKET FARM

PRODUCTS.





 





HE war finance corporation has



completed its plans for advancing

the $1,000,000,000 in live stock and ag-

ricultural credits, under the recent

act extending its powers, and is about

ready to function in making loans to

exporters and marketing organiza-

tions handling farm products for ex-

port. The corporation is making ev-

ery possible effort to afford needed

financial relief to the farmers at the

earliest moment possible. Executive

committees are being formed in farm-

ing and live stock sections to make





 





the necessary investigations and de-

termine the adequacy of the securities

offered.





RECOMMENDS BUSINESS FARM

ORGANIZATIONS.





 





EPRESENTATIVE Sydney Ander-



son, chairman of the joint com-

mission of agricultural induiry, has is-

sued a statement in which he points

out what he believes to be some of the

faults of the farm organizations. t“The

farmer in the main,” he says, “is or-

ganized just like the retailer is organ-

ized, along semi-political rather than

economic lines. And neither the farm-

er nor the retailer can get anywhere

in this country except through an or-

ganization whose fundamental aim is

economic. Too much clap-trap has

been in evidence everywhere about

the magic power of political action in

respect to increased quality and quan-

tity and price. Bunk is the best word

I can think Of with which to charac-

terize such theory, refuted both by

common sense and history. Too many

organizations are builded along the

lines Of political action, and, instead

of endeavoring to work out their own

problems, occupy their time largely in

passing resolutions and making rec-

ommendations to the congress. They

are pastmasters at passing the buck,

and frankly, we’re passing that sort of

buck back to them.





“In marked contrast to the organiza-

tion which seeks results through politi-

cal action,” says Mr. Anderson, “is

the organization which has in mind a

combination of selling power. That





is the form of organization which

eventually must endure, for it is eco-

nomic. There is unanimity of purpose

among its membership, which makes

for strength. Everything it does is

for the common good.





ABANDONS GENERAL SALES TAX.





 





HE senate finance committee is



preparing the new tax revision

bill, but it will be some time before

the various propositions are fully con-

sidered. Senator Smoot has come out

with a. new scheme of taxation, evi-

dently having abandoned his general

sales tax. He now proposes a sales

tax of three per cent on manufactur-

ers. He asserts that when the excess

profits tax went above thirty-two per

cent, it drove rich men into buying

tax exempt securities, and kept money

out of business and industry. He de-

clares that unless some law to stop

the issuance of tax—exempt securities

is passed, the American people will

wake up one of these days with a tax

burden from which they can never

hope to get free.





SUPPORT FOR MR. CAMPBELL.





 





. HE entire Michigan congressional

delegation has endorsed the pro~

posed appointment of President Milo

H. Campbell, of the National Milk

Producers’ Federation, on the federal

trade commission. Senators Gooding

and Capper are also supporting Mr.

Campbell for this appointment. The

support of these men together with

the united backing of the farm organ-





izations gives Mr. Campbell a strong

position as a candidate fer the ap—

pointment in view of President Hard-

ing’s evident desire to have agricul-

ture -~ represented by real farmers on

the various commissions.





 





AGRICULTURE’S HANDICAP.





 





A STUDY of the relation of the drop





in agricultural prices to the drop'





in the prices of other commodity

groups, brings out very sharply the

difference between the situation in the

agricultural industry as an unorgan-

ized and unintegrated industry, and in

organized and integrated industries.

Organized industry proceeded to pro

tect itself by curtailing production. In

the case of agriculture this could not

be done, since the crop was already in

the ground.





 





GOVERNMENT NITRATES FOR

SALE.





OMEWHAT related to the Muscle



Shoals air nitrate plant proposition

is the fact that at East Lamoine,

Maine, the navy has stored a supply

of 21,000,000 pounds of Chilean nitrate

which was purchased during the war,

and which it proposes to sell. The

sale was advertised to take place Sep-

tember 6, but has been postponed un-

til September 30. The government is

also preparing to sell its kelp plant at

Summerside, California. The supply

of nitrates will be bought by private

interests, it is expected, and held for

use by the farmers as. fertilizer next

spring.

FARM BUREAU FAIR EXHIBITS

GET RESULTS.





 





XHIBITION of State Farm Bureau

virgin wool fabrics at the various

county fairs has stimurated additional

interest in the suitings and blankets

says the farm bureau. Last week





orders for a little more than $3,000

worth of fabrics were received in one





day, practically all of the orders grow-

ing out of the fair exhibits. The de‘

partment has an exhibit at the State

Fair in Detroit and will have another

important display at the Grand Rapids

Fair beginning September 19.





NOTES FROM THE ELEVATOR EX-

CHANGE.





 





HEAT seems to be getting its



feet under itself again with more

encouraging prospects in other fields.

notably the rising stock market and

better conditions in the south where

cotton has gone up $45 a bale in the

last four weeks, says the Michigan

Elevator Exchange. Early in Septem-

ber wheat came back more than twen-

ty cents after its recent slump.



Wise farmers are looking for good,

“heavy seed oats, says the farm bureau

V""‘8tating that many seed houses are

, laying in large quantities of good oats

"at this time, with the idea of taking a

’proflt off them in the spring in case





seed oats are in great demand, which

is generally forecasted. ,



Exports of wheat from the United

States to foreign ports during July and

August equalled highest records, says

the Elevator Exchange. Despite strin‘

gent conditions overseas, buyers there

are getting the money somewhere.



Eastern marketsare reported to be

choked with hay, but prospects are be-

lieved to be good for a better future

in that commodity. Revival of busi-

ness in the south and clearing away

of present surpluses in the east are

expected to stimulate that market.



Storage and insurance charges on

seed and the exchange on drafts are

to be absorbed by the State Farm Bu:

reau Seed Department hereafter. Co-

operative associations are being advis-

ed by the department in its announce-

ment to the effect that State Farm

Bureau charges for seed handling will

remain the same as last year, but that

the department will eliminate the

three foregoing charges.



The commission on seed sales re-

mains at seventy-five cents per bushel.

The cleaning charge on seed free from

buckhorn is to be thirty-five cents a

bushel the first time through the

cleaning machine and twenty cents for

each successive time. Two times

through the cleaner is usually enough.

When necessary to put seed over the

buckhorn machine the cleaning charge

will be $1.05 a bushel, which includes

the foregoing cleanings. These charg-

es the farm bureau declares it has

found to be fair and equitable in cov-

ering seed handling costs. ‘



Installation of another seed cleaning

machine at the seed department ware-





house in Lansing means that January“





1, 1922, the department will have five

times the seed cleaning capacity that

it had January 1, 1921. Ground has

been broken for a new seed receiving

warehouse which will increase the seed

handling space of the department

twenty times over that of one year

ago. A hulling machine is going in

which will take hulled Hubam and

sweet clover from the thresher and

clean and scarify it at a considerable

economy over the old clover hulling

machine method. Storage and supply

bins have been installed which will

permit the farm bureau seed cleaning

machinery to keep going automatically

and prepare for market about two car-

loads of seed daily this fall and |w1nter.





 





APPOINTS WOMEN’S cOMMITTEE.





 





THE women’s committee to repre-



sent the farm women Of America

has been named by President J. E.

Howard, of the American Farm Bu»

reau Federation. The members of the

committee are: Mrs. Charles Schuttler,

of Missouri, chairman; Mrs. John 'C.

Ketcham, Michigan; Mrs. George S.

Brown, West Virginia; and Mrs. A. E.

Brigden, New York. .A fifth member,

who will represent. the west, will be

named later. Miss Florence E. Ward,

head of the women’s department of

the states’ relations service in Wash-

ington, D. C., will act as advisory

council to the committee.



The committee will meet seen to

outline specific recommendations as to

how the women's department should

be organized. The recommendations

will be presented to the annual meet-

ing of the American Farm’ Bureau

Federatioii ih’Atlant’a,‘ Georgia; in No-





 





vember. It is planned to create a

women’s department in the American

Farm Bureau Federation with an as-

sistant secretary in charge.





 





HOWARD STRESSES NEED FOR

ORDERLY MARKETING.





 





N a recent address President How-



ard, of the American Farm Bureau

Federation, said : “Under the pressure

of 130,000,000 bushels of wheat thrown

on the terminal markets within a sin-

gle month after harvest, our market-

ing system has again broken down.

Farmers labor under the necessity of

turning their grain into cash as soon

as it is harvested in order to meet

their obligations. The dumping of

forty per cent of the wheat crOp on

the market within the first thirty days

after harvest has depressed piices far

below actual value. It illustrates fore

ibly a fundamental weakness in our

marketing system. We must substi-

tute orderly marketing for disorderly

marketing. The breakdown demon-

strates vividly the necessity of a na-

tional cooperative grain marketing sys-

tem by which the farmers’ grain can

be sent to market as the market can

absorb it.”

farmer to fully realize the influence



which the world war hadgon the

agriculture of little Denmark. Being

situated in almost the very midst of

the great conflict with her commerce

blockaded from, the early months of

the struggle, and on the other hand,

with unheard-of prices prevailing at

times, it is little wonder that the nor-

mal agricultural activities of this

country were thrown out of balance.

I am just going to give a few illustra-

tions based upon government figures.



I





IT may be hard for the American





Taking the year before the war,

1913, as a normal year, the records tell

us that the number of horses exported

mounted from 25,000 in 1913 to 95,000

in 1914, and then reduced to only 200

in 1915, after which the exports held

around twenty thousand until 1919,

when they were 'cut to one thousand.



Also the export of cattle increased

gradually from 1913 to the close of

the war, after which there was a de-

cided reduction to about one-fifth of

a normal. The bacon sent out of the

country kept up to normal through

1915, after which it began to decline

very rapidly to less than 2,000,000

American pounds, whereas in 1913 the

exports amounted to over 250,000,000

pounds: The changes in meat exports

followed generally those of bacon,

while butter appeared to be influenced

much the same except that the low

point was touched in 1918 instead of a

year later.



All in all, it may be said, however,

that Denmark has been very fortunate

in being able to feed itself comfort-

ably du-ring those terrible days of

strife and hunger, and on top of that

to contribute its share to the allevia-

tion of the misery caused by the war.

In Europe, Denmark was certainly the

most fortunate country.



As might well be supposed, the bulk

of the exports were diverted from

their regular channels to the central

powers largely by reason of the war

blockades. Here are the figures show-





ing the percentage of exports to Ger-

many and England:





Year Germany. England.

1913 ........... 25 62

1914 ........... 35 54

1915 ........... 45 39

1916 ........... 56 30

1917 ........... 50 27

1918 ........... 43 7

1919 . . ; ........ 25 22





It seems, then, to be back to normal

in 1919 as regards Germany, and to

have reached the peak in 1916. For

England it shows a steady decrease,

culminating in the blockade year, but

on its way towards normal in 1919.

These figures are the total exports of

Danish goods and, taking it by and

large, agricultural products represent

about ninety per cent of these figures.





Danish agriculture is carried on in

a very intensive manner. The main

efforts of the farmers here are direct-

ed toward the production of feed crops

the value of which is increased

through their use for manufacturing

animal products. This is how the land

is divided among the various staple

crops: Corn occupies 36.9 per cent of

the whole; beets grown for feed, are

planted on 13.5 per cent of the area;

seeds, 1.3 per cent; fallow, 4.3 per

cent; green fodder and grass 40.2 per

cent, while 3.8 per cent is devoted to

other purposes.





I have before me figures on crops

for 1920. In comparing these with the

average production for the three years

preceding the war it appears that our

agriculture has already recovered from

the ill-effects of the great international

disturbance. Wheat, beets and peas

are grown in greater quantities than

before the war, while the other staples

are on an average about five percent

below the pre-war basis. Potatoes and

beets grown for direct sale have in-

creased from twenty-five to forty per

cent and sugar production is practical-

ly normal. The quantities of feeds

stuffs imported are about half what

they were previous to 1913, although

the value is considerably greater ow-

ing to the advance in prices.





By M'cflolas Rabi/d





During the war, when the import of

feedstuffs was stopped, the keeping of

domestic animals was, of course, con-

siderably curtailed, but inconsidera-

tion of the importance of the animals

as, so to speak, ennoblers of the crops

of the country, together with the im-

ported feedstuffs, the farmers have in

the short time after the war successful—

1y tried to augment their holdings of

domestic animals. They have not quite

the quantity. After the redemption of

war, but during the reconstruction

work they have consistently aimed at

the quality of the animals instead of

the quantity. After the redempion of

Slesvig the number of animals in Den—

mark then will be about the same as

before the war.



The feed difficulties during the war-

years are plainly mirrored in the pro-

duction of milk, which during the» war

decreased to such small quantities as

had not been known since about 1880.

Even if the production has not yet

reached its former height, the amount

is relatively high, being about ninety

per cent of the production in 1914.

From this milk the people are making

about seventy-seven per cent of as

much butter as they were in 1914 and

one hundred and forty-two per cent as

much cheese, while the same amount

of cream and sweet milk are provided

as at the earlier date. The present

production of milk amounts to 6,600,-

000,000 pounds.





The foundation for the production of

this large amount of milk on so small

an area of land, is the two Danish

breeds of cattle, viz.: The Black-

Brindled Jutland, which is similar to

the Holstein-Friesian, and the Danish

Red breed. The breeding Work done

inside of these two races is very ra-

tional and consistent, and especially

the Danish Red cattle has in compari-

son with well-known world races quite

a handsome position. Of this red race

about twenty-seven per cent are under

the supervision of the cow-testing as-

sociations. These 120,817 cows yield-

ed per annum an average per cow of





nearly 7,000 pounds of milk and 270

pounds of butter. Remember, these fig-

ures are not sporting records but av-

erages for thousands of cows. In my

next letter I wish to speak more par-

ticularly about this race of cattle.





The basis for the successful agricul-

ture of the Danish people is the keep-

ing of large numbers of good animals

and the returning to the soil of an

abundance of stable manure combined

with commercial fertilizers. The ma-

nure is especially valuable due to the

high percentage of protein fed to the

animals. This protein is largely im-

ported in the form of oil-cake. When

to the importation of protein feeds is

added the importation of commercial

fertilizers one can realize that the ag-

riculture lands here are constantly ac-

cumulating more and more of plant

fertility and therefore growing richer

and richer. All of which gives our

people hope for the future.





GRANGE SUCCESS IN THE UPPER

PENINSULA.





 





HE Grange does best where it is



organized to correspond closely to

local national differences and where at

least one speaker appears at their

meetings prepared to address the peo-

ple in a familiar tongue. I found this

view shared by at least one local





' ‘rrange official familiar with conditions





here. There are farming communities

of Finns, Croatians, Belgians, Lithuan-

ians, Russians, and other national

types where these considerations

might apply—perhaps less so among

the Germans, Scandinavrans and the

French. It seems to me worth while

for farm organization officials from

“below” to appreciate this situation.

That the Grange has a real foothold

here is indicated by the statement of

Mrs. Charles Anderson, of L’Anse, or-

ganizer for this district, that there are

now one hundred and three Granges,

and five thousand grangers in good

standing in the upper peninsula.——C.





 





 





Lefidwee Furm’séey Grand Céampz'mz Car/cad Fat Steers





 





OVERS of good fat stock were



delighted with the showing of fat



cattle- at the State Fair. The

chief attraction was, of course, the

well-finished carload of calves fed and

entered by C. A. Beamer, of Blissfield.

These calves were awarded grand

championship honors. During the past

three years Mr. Beamer has shown

his fat “cattle at. the Buffalo Live





   





Stock Show where he was awarded

two grand championships and first in

the Hereford class.



The award last week was on a splen-

did load of whitefaces fourteen months

old. ' These calves were purchased by

Mr. Beamer and weighed on arrival at

Blissfleld November 20, 1921, an aver-

age of 355 pounds. Between that date

and September 1, when they were





loaded for the fair the calves had gain-

ed an average of a little better than

two pounds per day per calf, making

the final weight 930 pounds per animal.



Throughout the feeding period the

animals were under cover and conse-

quently did not taste of pasture from

the time they were purchased. They

were- fed what alfalfa hay they would

eat and each steer was given-the fol-





lowing daily ration of grain during the

last ninety days of feeding: Ten

pounds of corn, three pounds of ground

barley, two pounds of ground oats, two

pounds of cottonseed meal and one

quart of molasses. The fifteen animals

were sold at auction on Tuesday to

the Sullivan Packing Company of De-





troit, at $16 per hundred weight, a. _

. very good price for these times. .. ’

M. A. 0. AT THE DETROIT FAIR.





 





HAT the live stock equipment



of the Michigan Agricultural



College is of high enough qual-

ity to be a distinct credit to the state

was shown at the Detroit State Fair,

,where animals from the college herds

competed successfully against leading

entrants from all over the country.



Educational exhibits shown by the

Michigan Agricultural College at the

State Fair included practically every

phase of the college’s program of edu-

cational work. Centering around the

motto that the state needs “Greater

Profits in Agriculture Through More

Efficient Production,” the displays cov-

ered a wide range of material.



Possibly the most interesting of the

exhibits from the farmer’s point of

view were those which illustrated the

work of cow-testing and bull associa-

tions. The fact that animals taken di-

rectly from active associations in the

state were on hand at the fair grounds

to illustrate the truth of the associa-

tion theories added materially to the

exhibits. Six cows from the Leer Bull

Association, of Alpena county, showed

the development made by that associa—

tion through crossing pure-bred Guern-

sey bulls with common scrub and then

grade cows. In the same barn, five

cows from the Kent County Cow-test-

ing Association showed that carefully

kept records are the only sure means

of knowing a cow’s production ability.

Many experienced cattle men were

fooled by the appearance of these Kent

county cows and guessed wrong in

their efforts to pick the high-producing

individual.



A model Michigan farm, showing ar

rangement of buildings (which were

reproduced in miniature) and the lay

out of fields, drew big crowds to the

farm mechanics booth, where tile

drainage problems, gas power on the

farm, and other subjects were covered.

A plow used in Michigan in 1850 was

displayed in this section alongside a

modern plow of approved design.



Three phases of the state program

for more efficient crops production

were ilustrated in the farm crops sec

tion of the college exhibition. Seed

cultural, and market. matters were tale

en up in order, the display showing

how vital each branch was to the

whole scheme of crops production.

Other college departments hit one or

more timely subjects in their special

exhibits, the main college diSplay oc—

cupying the entire east end of the

agricultural building. Soils, horticul

ture, home economics, Boys’ and Girls

Clubs, animal husbandry, bacteriology

botany, farm mechanics, zoology, and

forestry divisions were included.



An interesting display, and a new

one for the State Fair, was shown by

the M. A. C. Division of Engineering

More than $5,000 worth of electrical

chemical, civil, and mechanical engi-

neering equipment was on display.

Much of this equipment, which is used

for instructional work at the college,

lent itself well to demonstrations of a

popular nature. The result was that

a crowd of interested fair visitors

were observing the “make and break”

of the wireless apparatus most of the

time.



“Old Red,” the average Michigan

common cow who figured so promi-

nently in the special dairy train which

ran in the state last August, came in

for added publicity at the fair. Stand-

ing between a pure—bred Guernsey on

. one side and a pure- -bred Holstein on

~~the other Old Red Was again made the

of considerable unfavorable com-

”on , Colantha Mutual Queen, on





the money paid tenths champion'lot'





her left, showed a record of forty

quarts of milk a day for a six months

average, while the best Old “Average"

Red could show was eleven quarts.

Carrie of Hillhurst, on the right, show-

ed a yearly record of 1,018 pounds of

butter, as compared with Red’s 191

pounds. The comparison took well,

showing the value in increased produc-

ing povVer of pure-bred cattle.’



Dairy manufacturers’ products were

shown by the college in the dairy

building. A feature was a display of

thirty-eight varieties of cheese, nine-

teen of which were actually made in

Michigan. Food value of milk and ice

cream, and milk products were other

items covered.



Apiary exhibits in the Bee Building,

and the various Boys’ and Girls’ Club

booths, in addition to live stock en-

tries, completed the M. A. C. display,

which was by far the largest educa-

tional exhibit ever sent to the State

Fair.





EXHIBIT BY THE STATE DEPART-

MENT OF AGRICULTURE.





 





N educational display of goods



and charts which went far toward

informing fair patrons of the several

general lines of activities of the new

State Department of Agriculture, was

the subject of generous study and

comment. At a booth in the dairy

building an appeal was made to inter

est Michigan dairymen in the produc-

tion of Swiss and Roquefort cheese,

while in the cattle barns a much-talk-





ed~of herd of scrub stock was placed ,





with the carloads of fat steers to bring

out the differences between good and

poor animals.



The tour bureaus occupied separate

booths in the automobile building and

each emphasized the special lines of

work coming within its own jur-

isdiction. The agricultural develop-

ment bureau gave the visitor a good

short course in the undeveloped agri-

cultural resources of the state and

much unusal but valuable information

about our agriculture in general. In

the bureau of foods and markets one

could quickly acquaint himself on the

requirements of standards for grading

and packing famn products, with food

values, etc.” The number of pure-

breds of each of the several breeds of

live stock in the state was shown by

chart in the bureau of animal industry.



Besides much other valuable infor-

mation were charts ~displaying the in—

terest that breeders are taking in the

eradication of tuberculosis. On August

1 a year ago there were 377 herds un-

der state and federal inspection, of

which 113 were fully accredited, i. e.,

they have passed two annual or three

semi-annual inspections without react-

ors. On August 7 of the present year

the number of herds under state and

federal supervision had grown to 3,469

and the number of these showing clean

tests were 2,954, while the fully ac-

credited herds now number 207. Mich-

igan's standing as a dairy state was

also emphasized by the bureau of

dairying and the possibilities for the

development of this branch of farming

were shown. In this connection the

promotion of an initial plant for the

manufacture of Swiss and Roquefort

cheese is significant.



To impress the'value of good stock

and good feeding a carload of scrub

steers was placed in a pen amongst

the entries of fat steers. This carload

was sold by auction. at the same time

that the grand champion lot was sold

and the scrubs brought one-fourth of





-who were busy making records.

of health brought home to parents and

children alike lessons on health and

sanitation which are bound to increase

the attention given to living condi-

tions. Nourishing food, sensible exer-

cise, good living habits and proper

sanitary conditions were here visual-

ized so that the average person could

easily and quickly get the ideas to be

emphasized.



The conservation department of the

state put on a good diSplay of fish,

there being thirty-two tanks of as

many species common to the waters of

the state. It also got mucn attention

through its exhibition of wild life

Here were animals about which the

present generation has heard much but

has seen little. Some of the speci-

mens shown promise to become com-

mercially important in the future. Of

these perhaps the most promising is

the fox, several fox farms having al-

ready been established in this state.





 





THE STATE FAIR FRUIT SHOW.

THE Horticultural Building at the



State Fair was, as usual, 3. place

of beauty. It is undoubtedly the most

attractive building on the fair grounds

and it probably appeals to more of the

senses than any of the other buildings.

To the sight it is most pleasing. The

aroma of the fruit makes one want to

take extra deep breaths to fully exer-

cise the sense of smell. The mouth

can’t help but water and one must

carefully guard his sense of touch

While in the building.



The quantity of fruit was not as

great as in some other years, but there

was never a time when the quality of

all the fruit shown was as good as

that shown this year. Because of this

the competition, especially on plate

entries, was quite close.



In the big county contests the per-

sistent prize winner, Oceana county,

had no trouble in holding first place

this year. This is probably because its

chief competitor in other years, Oak-

land county, did not exhibit. The com~

petition among the remaining counties

entered was quite keen. Kent county

got second place, with Van Buren a

close third, while Ingham county took

fourth place.



The fruit was judged by Prof. U. P.

Hedrick, of the Geneva Experiment

Station, New York. Professor Hed-

rick is one of the best fruit judges in

the country, and a former M. A. C.

POULTRY SHOW.



THE poultry building at the State

Fair was the usual scene of bust-



ling activity only more so, this year



than others. The show as a whole



was the best that has been put on at



the fair.



This show contained everything

from the practical to the fancy in

poultry and pet stock. There were

birds dressed up in the finest of feath-

ers, others in their working clothes,

and still others in their swimming

suits enjoying a dip in the pond in the

center court of the building. Besides

there were bow-wows and bunnies en-

deavoring to look their best so that

they might win prizes which would be,

to the pride and profit of their owners.



From the practical standpoint the





 





egg-laying contest was probably the





most popular thing in the building.

The public was excluded to a great

extent from gazing on these biddies

WINNERS IN THE JUNIOR JUDG-

ING CONTESTS.



FRIDAY was the last, and probably



the greatest day for the Boy and

Girl Club members at the State Fair.

It was on that day that the great live

stock judging contest was held. The

grain judging contest was also finished

and to top off the day, the afternoon

was spent as guests of the Michigan

Farmer on a thirty-two-mile sight-see-

ing trip through Detroit, Belle Isle and

the Michigan Farmer publishing plant.



In the stock judging contest, ten

counties competed with the results as

follows: First, Calhoun with 1,720

points; Eaton and Washtenaw tied for

second with 1,798; 4th, Wayne, 1,724;

5th, Macomb, 1,658; 6th, Saginaw,

1,523; 7th, Baraga, 1,501; 8th, Branch,

1,461; 9th, Lenawee, 1,424; 10th, Iron,

1,392.



The three boys who got the highest

scores in judging cattle and who will

go to the National Dairy Show at Min-

neapolis wereSidney Phillips, of Eaton

county; William Peters, of Calhoun

county, and Dio Kellogg, also of Cal-

houn county. Rosco Simmons, of Cal.

houn county will act as alternate to

substitute in case any of the others

are unable to go.



The winners who are to go to the

International Live Stock Show at Chi-

cago are Sidney Phillips, William Pet-

ers and Reuben Kinnunen, the latter

of Baraga county.



In the grain judging contest Wash-

tenaw county got first place while Cal—

houn got second on placing and fifth

on total points. There were ten teams

entered.



Other winnings in boys’ and girls'

judging contests and the prizes won

by youthful stock raisers are given on

VIOLATION OF GAME LAW.





A friend of mine was arrested for

hunting rabbits, fined $11.70 and had

his gun, valued at $20, taken away. Is

there no redress—C. E. B.





The statutes expressly authorize the

confiscation of game taken and the ap-

paratus used in taking it. Unless there

is some technical defect in the pro-

ceedings, or an appeal taken, we see

no remedy.—.I. R. R. -





LESSORZS DUTY TO REPAIR.





In October, 1920, I leased a farm

with buildings for three years, and in

May, 1921, the barn burned down. Now

the party of the first part of the lease

has made no effort to provide a fit

place for my stock or feed. I have my

hay stacked and there is no place for

my corn. Is the party of the first part

liable for my inconvenience and loss

of my harvested crops?——S. H. E.



In the absence of covenants in the

lease, there is no duty by the lessor to

make repairs; and the destruction of

all the buildings without his fault

would be no excuse for the failure of

the tenant to pay the agreed rent for

the term.——J. R. R.





 





COMPARATIVE VALUE OF FIELD

CORN AND SWEET CORN.





What is the relative value for feed

in ripe husked sweet corn and field





corn?



Penn. F. C. B.



The chemical analysis shows that

dent field corn contains 7.8 per cent

digestible protein, 66.7 per cent diges-

tible carbohydrate and 4.3 per cent

ether extract or fat, and the sweet

corn contains 8.8 per cent digestible

protein, 63.7 per cent carbohydrate and

seven per cent ether extract or fat.

You will note that the sweet corn has

the better analysis. It contains only

three per cent less digestible carbohy-

drate and contains one per cent more

protein and 2.7 per cent more fat and

would be a trifle more valuable as a.

food. However, this does not argue

that one ought to raise sweet corn in

place of field corn because ordinarily

you can produce a much larger crop

of field corn than you can of sweet

corn and so if we would figure upon

the 'amount of food per acre the field

corn would greatly exceed the sweet

corn in value.





For soiling purposas, the sweet corn

is an excellent food. It can be fed up

to the time when the corn itself is,

nearly ripe, because the ears of the

sweet corn are soft and the whole

plant has a sweeter taste than the

field corn and is much relished by

cattle.





 





RENTING A DAIRY FARM.





What are the usual terms in renting

a dairy farm on thirds or halves? On

the one-third plan, where renter‘does

all the work on farm and peddles milk

in town, should he furnish any cows

or stand any share of expenses?



Calhoun Co. E. H. C.





There is such a difference in the

rental value of farms, especially dairy

farms, depending upon their location,

their fertility and the kind of dairying

performed, that it is well nigh impos-

sible for anyone to state in anything

like definite terms What a fair condi-

tion' of rental would be. If one has a

dairy farm close to the city and'the

renter retails the milk he certainly

ought to have a liberal contract be-

cause it is an awful job to deliver milk

every day in the year, rain or shine.





. As the retail price pissecured for the





milk, the owner can snow to- give a





 





 





”‘9‘“ Wires; :m‘vidod he:





 

 





trustworthy man who will attend to all

phases of the business properly. In

ordinary farming where other crops

are raised and where butter-fat is sold

to a creamery .or milk delivered to a.

condensary, it would be an entirely

different proposition. In ordinary farm-

ing, the old rule is that the land draws

one—third and the renter two-thirds if

the‘ renter does all the work and fur-

nishes everything. If the owner fur-

nishes the cows or a good per cent of

them and these cows are fed out of

the iindivided crops and the money

divided, then each should share alike.



In general, each particular instance

must be worked out carefully, ‘taking

all things into consideration, 'in order

to make a just division of the profits.





 





ANIMALS IN HIGHWAYS.





Does the owner of land have to keep

the road fence in‘ repair to guard

against damage by cattle which neigh-

bors drive to pasture ?——C. A. S.





The use of the highway to drive

animals along is a lawful use; and the

person driving the animals is not lia-

ble for injury done by them escaping

onto the adjoining land, unless he is

negligent. On the other hand, the nat-

ural propensity of .Such animals to

wander from the way imposes a duty

on the driver to use extraordinary care

to prdvent them escaping. If- he'is not

in hot pursuit when they escape, if he

does not remove them with as little

injury as possible, he is liable for the

injury done by them. Although he can

scarcely be said to be rightfully on

the land in pursuing them, he is not

liable for trespass in going to remove

them unless he was in fault for their

escape, or does unnecessary damage

in getting them out—J. R. R.





 





‘LIABILITY ON NOTE.





Please advise me what to do. Some

farm bureau men requested me to sign

a note. My wife was sick and I wish—

ed to wait until I could get her con-

sent, but they urged me to sign at

once. When my wife found out that I

had signed this note, she was dissatis-

fied and requested me to tell the farm

bureau men that I would not pay the

note. Must I pay it?—A. H.



If the note was given for a consid-

eration, no defense appears from the

statement. Presumably the maker of

the note was given something for the

note; and in making the promise to

pay he decided for himself what the

thing was worth, and agreed on the

price. The only case in which the

value of the thing given would avoid

the note is Where the thing received

was money, and even then the maker

would be liable for the amount re‘





‘ceivedr—J. R. R.





 





TRES‘PASSf





I cleaned up the right—of—way for a.

line fencefhrough the woods and built

said fence. My neighbor picked up all

the_stones in his field and put them

against the posts of my fence, break-

ing some of the fence wire. Has this

neighbor any right to put his stones

against my fence so that if I have to

repair it again sometime I will have to

remove said stones‘2—«J. G..



The owner of the land has the right

to use his own land for any lawful

purpose; and in the absence of re-

stricting statute may build on it to the

sky or mine it to the center of the

earth, provided he does not remove

the lateral support of his neighbor’s

landso that it falls, and does not put

or cause anything to fall onto his

'For five years this sturdy,

you will be able to get 't at

under eight hundred dollars,

A five million dollar corpor-

ation has been formed to





concentrate all of its re-

Never could tractors be

built any cheaper than they

can right now, with the

prices of materials lower

Value of the Roads





The GREAT QUESTION in the minds of

many farmers is: “What is the TRUE VALUE

of the railroads?”





The idea has been‘ spread far and wide that

the valuation on which the roads are allowed

to EARN A RETURN is far TOO HIGH.





Most people are willing to pay a FAIR

PRICE for things they buy—transportation

or anything ELSE.





The return which railroads are allowed to

earn is not based upon the STOCK or the

BONDS but on the value (at pre—war prices)

of the actual railroad PROPERTY—cars,

locomotives, stations, etc., used in the service.





The Interstate Commerce Commission

studied the problem THOROUGHLY, and

found that the MINIMUM reasonable valua-

tion of this property was $18,900,000,000.





II

About "Watered Stock”





‘ An act requiring a GOVERNMENT VAL-

UATION had been passed in 1913. That work

is not yet complete.





The work so far as finished shows that the '





roads, AS A WHOLE, are worth MORE than

their capitalization.





Taking the roads as a whole, the “watered

stock” argument HAS NO BASIS.





These valuations are NOT BEING MADE

ON PRESENT PRICES but on 1914 prices.





But MORE important to the farmer: Even

if ALL railroads had “watered stock” it

WOULD NOT COST THE FARMER A





CENT; for capitalization has NO EFFECT

ON RATES.





III





No Government Guaranty





The farmer has been TOLD repeatedly that

the Government guarantees the railroads a

SIX PER CENT RETURN, and the roads

have NO INCENTIVE to economize.





When the roads were taken over by the

‘Railroad V aluation—"W atered Stock”





No Government "Guaranty”





Government in 1917, for WAR purposes

it agreed to pay the owning companies a

RENTAL equal to the average which the rail-

roads ACTUALLY EARNED in the three

years preceding.





The Government piled up WAGES and

other railroad EXPENSES but did NOT in-

crease RATES enough to meet these costs.

When the roads were returned, their owners





could not make up losses by TAXATION as

the Government did.





Under these EMERGENCY CONDITIONS

the Government -. continued for 6 months

(March 1 to September 1, 1920) to make up

any DEFICIT in income below the war rental.





But that arrangement CEASED Sep—

tember 1, 1920; now the railroads get only

WHAT THEY CAN EARN up to 6 per cent.

If they earn more they divide with the Govern-

ment. If they earn less no one makes up the

deficiency.





THE GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES

NOTHING 1





As a matter of FACT the roads have earned

only about 2V2 per cent since last September.

The deficit below a 6 per cent return is PER-

MANENT LOSS.

The roads haven’t earned enough even to

Our Interests Mutual‘





For at least FIVE years, the development of

the railways has been at a STANDSTILL.

No industry can grow and expand its SER-

VICE when it can not pay interest or divi-

dends to those who invest their money in it.





The EARNING power of the railroads was

practically DESTROYED during the war.

Only by RESTORING it can the railroads

again provide facilities for the business of the

country. '





A CONSTANT supply of new investment

is as necessary to the growth of railroads as

FERTILIZER is on the farm.





The farmer can not prosper unless railroads

prosper. Railroads can not prosper unless the

farmer prospers. '

“Give me a Three, if you have one,”

he requested of the Pullman conduct-

or. His voice, Connery noted, was

well modulated, rather deep, distinctly

pleasant. At sound of it, Dorne, who

with his daughter’s help was settling

himself in his section, turned and look-

ed that way and said something in a

low tone to the girl. Harriet Dorne

also looked, and with her eyes on Eat-

on, Connery saw her reply inaudibly,

rapidly and at some length.





“I can give you Three in Car Three,

opposite the gentleman I just assign-

ed,” the Pullman conductor offered.





“That’ll do very well,” Eaton an-

swered in the same pleasant voice.





As the porter now took his bags,

Eaton followed him out of the car.

Connery looked around the sleeper;

then, having allowed a moment to pass

so that he would not too obviusly seem

to be following Eaton, he Went alter

them into the next car. He expect-ed,

rather, that Eaton would at once iden—

tify himself to him as the passenger to

whom President Jarvis’ short note had

referred. Eaton, however, paid no at-

tention to him, but was busy taking

off his coat and settling himself in his

section as Connery passed.





The conductor, willing that Eaton

should choose his own time for identi-

fying himself, went slowly on, looking

over the passengers as he went. The

cars were far from full.





Besides Eaton, Connery saw but half

a dozen people in this car: the Eng-

lishman in Section Four; two young

girls of about nineteen and twenty and

their parents—uninquisitive-looking

unobtrusive, middle-aged people who

possessed the drawing—room; and an

alert, red-haired, -.professional-looking;

man of forty Whose baggage was marks

ed “D. S.—Chicago.” Connery had had

nothing to do with putting Eaton in

this car, but his survey of it gave him

satisfaction; if President Jarvis inquir-

ed, he could be told that Eaton had

not been put near to undesirable

neighbors. The next car forward, per-

haps, Would have been even better;

for Connery saw, as he entered it, that

but one of its sections was occupied.

The next, the last Pullman, was quite

well filled; beyond this was the diner.

Connery stood a few moments in con-

Tversation with the dining car conduct-

or; then he retraced his way through

the train. He again passed Eaton,

slowing so that the young man could

speak to him if he wished, and even

halting an instant to exchange a word

with the Englishman; but Eaton al-

lowed him to pass on without speak-

ing to him. Connery’s step quickened

as he entered the next car on his way

back to the smoking compartment of

the observation car, where he expect-

ed to compare sheets with the Pull-

man conductor before taking up the

A Summary of W Izat Ha: Already Been Told





Gabriel Warden, capitalist and railroad director, after getting telephone

call, goes with chauffeur to bring a young man home. When auto arrives

home the passenger has disappeared and Mr. Warden is found dead in the

car. The special conductor gets orders to take charge of regular train and

to obey the requests, even to the running of the train, of a passenger who

will identify himself by a card. Train is held nearly an hour for five pas-

sengers: a girl, twenty-three years old; a. man, apparently her father; man

of thirty, Englishman, and a man presenting himself as Philip D. Eaton.

gave him added responsibility.



Dorne, however, was not depending

upon Connery alone for further infor-

mation. As soon as the conductor had

gone, he turned back to his daughter

and Avery upon the seat opposite.



“Avery,” he said in a tone of direc-

tion, “I wish you to get in conversa-

tion with this Philip Eaton. It will

probably be useful if you let Harriet

talk with him too. She would get im~

pressions helpful to me which you

can’t.”



The girl started with surprise but

recovered at once. “Yes, Father,” she

said.



“What, sir?" Avery ventured to pro-

test.





CHAPTER III.

Miss Dome Meets Eaton.





ORNE motioned Avery to the

D aisle, where already some of the



passengers, having settled their

belongings in their sections, were be-

ginning to wander through the cars

seeking acquaintances or players to

make up a card game. Eaton, however,

was not among these. On the contrary,

when these approached him in his sec-

tion, he frankly avoided chance of

their speaking to him, by an appear-

ance of complete immersion in his own

concerns. The ,Englishman directly

across the aisle from Eaton clearly

was not likely to speak to him, or to

anybody else, without an introduction;

the red-haired man, “D. 8.,” however,

seemed a more expansive personality.

Eaton, seeing “D. S.” look several

times in his direction, pulled a news—

paper from the pocket of his overcoat

and engrossed himself in it; the news-

paper finished, he opened his traveling

bag and produced a magazine.



But as the train settled into the

steady running which reminded of the

day of travel ahead during‘which the

half-dozen cars of the train must cre-

ate a world in which it would be ab-

solutely impossible to avoid contact

with other people, Eaton put the mag-

azine into his traveling bag, took from

the bag a handful of cigars with which

he filled a plain, uninitialed cigar-case,

and went toward the club and observa-

tion car in the rear. As he passed

through the sleeper next to him—the

last one—Harriet Dorne glanced up at

him and spoke to her father; Dorne

nodded but did not look up. Eaton

went on into the wide-windowed ob-

servation-room beyond, which opened

onto the rear platform protected on

three sides.



The observation-room was nearly

empty. The sleet which had been fall~

ing when they left Seattle had chang-

ed to huge, heavy flakes of fast—falling

snow, which blurred the Windows, ob-

only the 'two thin black lines of track

that, streaming out behind them, van-

ished fifty feet away in the White

smother. The only occupants of the

room were a.young woman who was

reading a magazine, and an elderly

man. Eaton chose a seat as far from

these two as possible.



He had been there only a few min-

utes, however, when, looking up, he

saw Harriet Dorne and Avery enter

the room. 'They passed him, engaged

in conversation, and stood by the rear

door looking out into the storm. It

was evident to Eaton, although he did

not watch them, that they were argu-

ing something; the girl seemed insist-

“It'll be bad in the mountains, I sus-

“Yes—lucky if we get'through.”



The conversation on Avery’s part

was patently forced; and it was equal-

1y forced on Eaton's; nevertheless it

continued. Avery introduced the war

and other subjects upon which men,

thrown together for a time, are accus-

tomed to exchange opinions. But Av-

ery did not do it easily or naturally;

he plainly was of the caste whose pose

it is to repel, not seek, overtures to-

ward a chance acquaintance. His lack

of practice was perfectly obvious when

at last he asked directly: “Beg par-

don, but I don’t think I know your

name.”



Eaton was obliged to give it.



“Mine’s Avery,” the other offered;

“perhaps you heard it when we were

getting our berths assigned.”



And again the conversation, enjoyed

by neither of them, went on. Finally

Religion and Labor





 





’ Our lVeeHy Sermon—By 1V. Al. Mchme





RELIGIOUS weekly prints the

A following, under date of August



18: “Famine stalks in the alleys

of the great cities. The liberty bonds

and small savings accounts have been

gradually consumed and many families

are even now, in the middle of the

summer, next door to want.” A com-

mission of the Y. M. C. A. states that

“there are as many as five men for

every opening for employment. The

city of Chicago has large numbers of

men sleeping out of doors and begging

their bread.” “Inthe city of Chicago

it is prophesied that there will be at

least two hundred thousand men out

of employment when the snow flies.”

This is very much to the point, as we

think of Labor Day, which has just

been observed.



But- why consider Labor Day in the

department devoted to the weekly ser—

mon? What has the church or relig-

io to do with labor unions, laboring

men and their affairs? The answer is

simple. Religion has to do with every

relationship of life. Every action has

a moral aspect. Every group of hu-

man beings, whether it be the labor

group, or the manufacturers, or the

doctors, in pursuing its calling, en-

gages in work which calls for moral

decisions. The church ought to be a

leader in such decisions. The church

does not pretend to give technical ad-

vice on the management of factories

or farms, or how much wages should

be paid to a particular employe for his

day’s work. But the church stands for

certain great principles, and will con-

tinue to stand for them more and

more, as time goes on. That is why

Labor Day is recognized in the

churches as a day of great ethical and

moral significance.





OR instance, in the strike of the



steel workers in 1918-19 the Fed-

eral Council of Churches made a study

of the whole thing. The result was,

that a book was issued embodying the

findings of the church’s representa-

tives. Among the facts revealed were,

that men are employed in the steel

mills seven days in the week, twelve

hours a day, performing the hardest

kind of labor, for a very moderate

wage. It was likewise learned that the

company employed spies to watch the

men. If a man was known to even

attend a meeting of a labor union, he

was discharged. This is an intolerable

state of affairs. All our boasted talk

about freedom and democracy goes up

in smoke when a man is watched day

and night and cannot even attend a

public meeting. There is no home life,

no church life, no society, nothing but

the eternal grind of toil in such a life.

When the church protests in behalf

of the workmen, it is only following

the lead of the great prophets of the

Bible, who denounced the idle rich and

demanded justice for the poor. It is

interesting to know that the moneyed

interests of Pittsburgh served notice

to the ministers of that city that they

must cease agitating for social reform

and preaching indusrial democracy, or

they (the interests) would cease to

support the church. The reply that

the money barons of Pittsburgh re-

ceived from the ministers sounds like

a chapter from Isaiah. The gist of it

was, that the ministers of Pittsburgh

are not for sale, at any price, and they

will continue to declare the whole law

of God, no matter whom it may offend.

The “interests” of the steel country

know more about the church today

than they ever did before.





NE thing that Jesus taught was

the priceless value of a human

life. Human beings are worth more

than all else. America. lost in the





war forty-eight thousand brave boys

in khaki, but in the same period of

time, nineteen months, American in-

dustries claimed thirty-five thousand

victims. There will be no more deaths

on the Marne or in the Argonne For-

est, but the death toll in industry nev-

er stops. In addition to this, there

are the living conditions. There is

plenty of room in America yet, plenty

of sunlight, air, good water, and soil

whereon to grow the necessaries for





the table. Then what of children who

live in crowded tenements, where

disease germs, sickness and death





abound, and the vilest forms of evil

go unchallenged? Has Christianity

nothing to say to all this? Such chil-

dren are deficient in physical vitality.

undeveloped mentally and dwarfed in

soul, in a vast percentage of cases.

There crime is bred and youthful male-

factors grow up into criminals. And

the pity of it all is, that none of it is

necessary. Let the dweller in the

country think of these things. He may

think that he works harder for his liv-

ing than the city dweller, and maybe

he does. But he has capital of which

thousands of urbanites know nothing.

He has blessings that make him as a

prince royal, compared to the handi-

caps of vast numbers of his city cous-

ins. A recent writer states that for

the same money he has a much better

house than the man in New York City

can have, and for the same money en-

joys a wider range of pursuits, pleas-

ures and healthful living.





HE church is teaching the princi‘



ples of cooperation in business.

Cooperation, not competition. Service,

not the race for pelf. The Kingdom of

God is built out of service, sacrifice,-

not the rush for profit. And many

large employers of labor are learning

this, have already learned it. Such

men as Mr. Seebohm Rowntree, of

York, England, show that a new and

happier era in labor circles is dawn-

ing. When Mr. Booth of the Salvation

Army, made a study of the east end

of London, and stated that one-third

of the people were always in want, Mr.

Rowntree said th t might be true of

London, but nowhere else. But when

he made a survey of his own city of

York, he found it only five per cent

better. Since then he has developed a.

system in his own large cocoa factor-

ies, where service counts as largely as

wages. His system includes an old

age retirement pension. This is social

Christianity, and this is real Christian~

ity. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto

one of the least of these (factory work-

ers)-ye have done it unto me.”





But very likely some reader of the

Michigan Farmer is saying, “Well,

what of it? We live on the farm.

These city conditions do not affect

us.” But you are mistaken. They do.

We are all tied up in the same bum

dle. The war taught us that. No nau

tion can sit in its corner and let the

world go by. Neither can any one

class of society. We are held tightly

together by a thosand ties, farmers,

manufacturers, importers, city rich and

poor, rural rich and poor, north, south,

wheat growers, cotton growers, fruit

growers, dairymen. What helps one is

pretty likely to help all. If the work-

ingmen of America have money in the

bank, they can afford to buy a. better

quality of farm produce. “No man liv-

eth unto himself, and no man dieth

unto himself." Robinson Crusoe, on

his lonely tropical isle, found that he

could even there be of service to hu-

manity, when he saved Friday’s lite.

Religion has to do with everything

that aflects relationships of menu“
rounded, her lips rather full, her lash

es very long. He could not look up

without looking directly at her, for her

chair, which had not been moved since

Avery left it, was at an angle with his

own. A faint, sweet fragrance from

her hair and clothing came to him and

made him recollect how long it was——

five years—~since he had talked with,

F or even been near, such a girl as this;

and the sudden tumultof his pulses

which her nearness caused warned him

to keep watch of what he said until

he had learned why she had sought

him out.



To avoid the appearance of studying

her too openly, he turned slightly, so

that his» gaze went past her to the

White turmoil outside the windows.



“It’s wonderful,” she said, “isn’t it?”



“You mean the storm.” A twinkle

of amusement came to Eaton’s eyes.

“It would be more interesting if it al-

lowed a little more to be seen. At

present there is nothing visible but

snow.” '



“Is that the only way it affects you ?”

She turned to him, apparently a trifle

disappointed.



“I don’t exactly understand.”



“Why, it must affect every man most

as it touches his own interests. An

artist would think or it as a back-

ground for~ contrasts—a thing to

sketch or paint; a writer as something

to be written down in words.”



Eaton understood. She could not

more plainly have asked him what he

.. was.



“And an engineer, I suppose,’ he

said easily, “would think of it' only as

an element to be included in his for-

mulas an x, or an a, or a b, to be put

in somewhere and square-rooted or

squared so that the roof-truss he was

figuring should not buckle under its

weight.” _



“Oh—so that is the way you were

thinking of it?”



“You mean," Eaton challenged her

directly, “am I an engineer ?”



“Are you?” ’



“Oh, no; I was on} talking in pure

generalities, just as you were."



“Let us go on, then," she said gayly.

“I see I can’t conceal from you that I

am doing you the honor to wonder

what you.are. A lawyer would think

of it in the light of damage it might

create and the subsequent possibilities

of litigation.” She made a little pause.

“A business man would take it into

account, as he has to take into account

all things in nature or human; it would

delay transportation, or harm or aid

the winter wheat."



' “Or Stop competition somewhere,”

he observed, more interested.





The flash of satisfaction which came

to her face and as quickly was check-

ed and faded showed him she thought

she was on the right track.



“Business," she said, lightly. “will-—

how is it the newspapers put it?——will

marshal its cohorts; it will send out

its generals in command of bridges of

snowplows, its colonels in command of

regiments of snow-shovelers and its

spies to discover and to bring back



word of the effect upon the crops.”



. “You talk," he said, “as if business



1 were a war."



, “ “Isn’t it?——like war, but war in high-

er terms." ,



“In higher terms ?" he questioned, at-

tempting to make his tone like hers,

but a sudden bitterness now was be«

trayed by it. "Or in lower?”



> “Why, in higher,” she "declared, “de

votion, greater determination, greater

self-sacrifice.”



“What makes you say that?"



“Soldiers themselves say it, Mr. Ea-

ton, and all the observers in this hor-

rible war say it when they say that

they find almost no cowards and very

few weaklings among all the millions

of every sort of men at the front. They

could not say the same of those iden-

tical millions under the normal condi-

tions of everyday business life.”



He remained silent, though

waited for him to reply.



“You know that is so, Mr. Eaton,"

she said. “One has only to look on

the streets of any great city to find





she





thousands of men who have not had .





the courage and determination to car-

ry on their share of the ordinary dut-

ies of life. Recruiting officers can pick

any man off the streets and make a

good soldier of him, but no one could

be so sure of finding a satisfactory em-

ploye in that way. Doesn’t that show

that daily life, the everyday business

of earning a living and bearing one’s

share in the workaday world, demands

greater qualities than war?”



Her face had flushed eagerly as

she spoke; a darker, livid flush an-

swered her words on his.



“But the opportunities for evil are

greater, too,” he asserted almost

fiercely.



“What do you mean?"



“For deceit, for lies, treachery, Miss

Dorne! Violence is the evil of war,

and violence is the evil most easily

punished, even if it does not bring

its own punishment upon itself. But

how many of those men you speak of

on the streets have been deliberately,

mercilessly, even savagely sacrificed

to some business expediency, their fu-

ture destroyed, their hope killed!”

Some storm of passion, whose mean-

ing she could not divine, was sweeping

him.



“You mean,” she asked after an in-

stant’s silence, “that you, Mr. Eaton,

have been sacrificed in such a way?”



“I am still talking in generalities,”

he denied ineffectively.



He saw that she sensed the untruth-

these last words. Her

smooth young forehead and her eyes

were shadowy with thought. Eaton

was uneasily silent. The train roared

across some trestle, giving a sharp

glimpse of gray, snow—swept water far

below. Finally Harriet Dorne seemed

to have made her decision.





“I think you should meet my father,

Mr. Eaton,” she said. “Would you

like to?”



He did not reply at once. He knew

that his delay was causing her to

study him now with greater surprise.



“I would like to meet him, yes,” he

said, “but,”-—he hesitated, trying to

avoid answer without offending her,

but already he had affronted her,—

“but not now, Miss Dorne.”



She stared at him, rebuffed.



“You mean—” The sentence, obvi-

ously, was one she felt it better not

to finish. As though he recognized

that now she must wish the conversa-

tion to end, he got up. She rose stiffly.



“I’ll see you into your car, if you’re

returning there,” he offered.



Neither spoke, as he went with her

into the next car; and at the section

where her father sat, Eaton bowed si—

lently, nodded to Alvery, who coldly

returned his nod, and left her. Eaton

went on into his own car and sat

down, his thoughts in mad confusion.

Popularity





EVERAL factors help to explain why International

Engines are popular wherever they are used. But

the most prominent reason is that they do the work



their owners want done when it should be done.





International Engine owners know that if there is

feed to grind, the International will do it. If there is water

to pump, the International will pump it. The same is true

with wood sawing, churning, chopping feed, fanning grain,

etc., etc. The International will turn the trick, when you 3

give it a chance. 1





In accomplishing this, International Engines use

low—grade fuels. They are simple to operate—many farmer

boys not yet in their teens start and operate International

Engines with ease.





International Engines have built-in magnetos, re-

placeable cylinder liners, enclosed crank cases. They are

hopper-cooled, and have many other valuable features.

Made in 1%, 3, 6, and 10 h. p. sizes.

URING the war many pleasant

social customs fell by the wayside,

but now they are beginning to be re-

stored. Among these is the social sew-

ing that made a pleasant day for the

neighborhood, or the club, or the

church society, and a very profitable

one for the hostess.



Of course, the success of it depends

largely upon the ability of the hostess

to utilize her spare time getting things

ready for a long time before, so that

there is no hitch. in the work from the

moment it begins until the ladies re—

luctantly go home late in the after-

noon. The hostess has ready garments

for the children, shirts for the men





folks, household supplies, such as

sheets, curtains, pillow slips, table lin-

en and dish towels, carpet rags to sew

for rugs, aprons, perhaps a quilt to

quilt or a comfort to knot, things to

make over and the general sewing of

the family that she has not had time

to do. Often a good seamstress is en-

gaged for a day ahead to cut out and

baste the more difficult things, though

this is not really necessary.



Everything is rolled together for the

garment, or else the articles are folded

separately in clean newspapers. The

sewing machine is cleaned, oiled and

put in good order, plenty of thread and

buttons are provided and everything

thought out beforehand for the suc-

cess of the day. The best workers at-

tack the hard things, leaving the car-

pet rags for the children, who love to

have a hand in the fun, and the patch—

ing for the elderly ladies who do not

trust their eyesight for the complex

things. In groups the ladies work,

each doing what she is best fitted

ito do.



The hostess provides the dinner,

which is usually chicken and biscuits,

or some big substantial dish that will

be relished by all. A good menu is

chicken with fresh rolls and mashed

potatoes, cabbage salad or stewed to-

preserves, gravy, baked beans, and

cake and canned fruit for dessert. The

greater part of this is made ready the

day before, such as baking the cake,

opening the fruit, starting the beans,

cleaning the chickens, making the rolls

to be reheated next day, and getting

the tables partly ready. It isn’t hard

work to get the dinner and the dishes

can be left until the guests go home,

as there will be plenty of food to be

reheated for the family supper, and

the mistress of the house can feel free

to enjoy herself once the eating is

over.



The hostess also pays to the club

or organization ten or fifteen cents for

each person present. One lady who

entertained a group of twenty-five

workers counted up her cost at thirty

cents each for the fee and the cost of

the meal, and found that for seven dol-

lars and fifty cents she had more

than thirty dollars’ worth of finished

work to her credit. The beautiful quilt

alone that the ladies quilted would

have cost six dollars, while the rags

for rugs represented a saving of sev-

eral dollars for floor covering for the

guest bedroom, above the thirty dol-

lars’ worth of garments. Everybody

had a good time and was not over-

worked, and everybody said it. was a

delightful day.



With the country short of help so

very long, and everyone rushed to

death, the social gatherings have been

all too few for some years back, so if

the sewing social combines work and

fun and helps the country ladies get

awayfrom home more than they do,

it is to be hoped that many more com-

munities will take it up speedily.

PORCH SEAT FROM AN OLD BED.





 





N inexpensive swinging seat for:



the porch or arbor can be made

from an old cot bed. Remove the four

legs and to each of the corners fasten;

a chain long enough to reach from the

cot to the porch ceiling. These four

chains should be of equal length and

the upper end of each should have a.

strong hook for screwing into the cell-

ing. Put the lower end of the chain

around the framework of the cot and

fasten into the wood with strong, but

not too large hook screws. Cover the

mattress with any dark colored denim

or madras, and you have a comfortable

and goodlooking porch seat for very

little outlay. If desired, the goods used

to cover the mattress can be fastened

to one of the front chains, brought

around across the back and up the

side to the opposite front chain, malt-n

. Moths getting in clothing? An 00-

casional brushing and sunning will

help, to get rid of them. , .. , .,
NE day last spring, a little girl



asked me if it were true that b-

ins liked to eat other things t an

worms. .I replied that robins would

eat fruit When “they were thirsty if

they could find no water.





“Oh, just when they’re thirsty,” she





exclaimed in a tone of surprise “Then

I had better give them a basin of wa-

ter, because father gets terribly p10—

voked at the robins when he sees them.

in our cherry tree or in the strawber-n

ry-patch.”



I told her that in the strawberry

patch robins were much mo1e likely

t3 hunt the grubs and cutworms that

injure the roots of the vines than to

eat the strawberries, but that they did

like cherries. I asked her if she w_ould

like to make friends with the birds and

fix a place in her garden where they

could drink when they were thirsty or

bathe and splash about in the warm

weather. She was delighted with the

idea of making something useful and

wanted to know how to build a bird

bath. I gladly promised» to help her

make one, and accordingly I went to

her home one morning soon after our

conversation. Together we gathered

several baskets full of small stones

from a vacant lot near her home, then

We selected a spot in an open space in

her garden where we set up a pyramid

about three feet high. After we had

finished it we filled a big flower-pot

saucer with water and placed it on top

of the pyramid.





When the warm weather came, the

birds used this bath so much that the

water had to be changed several times

a day. But the pleasure of watching

the different birds that came to the

garden to quench their thirst and

splash about in the cool water more

than compensated for the slight trou-

ble of filling the bath. The other mem

bers of the child’s family became as

much interested in their feathery

friends as the little mason who had

built the bath, and the practical father

observed with satisfaction that his

fruit trees were less attractive to the

birds.—Nat’l Kindergarten Ass’n.





THE HIGH SCHOOL GIRL’S DRESS.





 





BY DORIS W. MC CRAY.





F you are in high school or if y0u



are somewhere in your teens, you

are just naturally interested in clothes.

You want to look your best, so be sure

to have clothes that are really good

looking.



The first requirement of clothes is

that they be appropriate. 'A dress for

school must be simple though not se-

verely plain. It must be serviceable

and easily cared for. A one-piece dress

is best for winter and gingham for

summer. Last year’s party dress is

not appropriate for school this year,

although last year’s “Sunday” dress

made simply of French serge may

serve for school. Georgette blouses,

silk and satin dresses, gaudy ribbons

and beads, are not appropriate for

school. ‘ ‘





If you observe well-dressed business

« women you will realize that they wear

surprisingly, simple dresses, which are



Well tailored and invariably clean and

pressed. You will notice that they are

very careful of details. They never

have loose buttons or snaps, soiled

collars, or unpolished shoes. A woman

realizes that it is a business asset for

her always to be well groomed. Her

shoes must never be ill-fitting with

run-over, unshined heels. They are

broad encugh to afford comfort for

the toes and to avoid the misery of

cams and bunions. Military heels are

necessary [for comfort and health.





Rubber heels make walking easier and'

are better for the nerves. High French,





heels are absurd.” Huse are thick

three or four minutes’ attention daily

and her‘hands be washed often enough

to- keep them white'and be dried thor-

oughly to keep them' soft. Gloves must

be perfectly mended. The hems of

her dresses must be adjusted to hang

evenly. She certainly never gets up

late and neglects to give her face and

neck a soap and water bath. She takes

baths and changes underwear often

enough to maintain personal cleanli-

ness. Her hair is neat and well kept.





Since good looks is a social and, bus—

iness asset, you should acquire early

these habits of successful business

women, only being younger, you will

wear girlish clothes. Wear them while

you are young, for some day you will

find yourself a sedate lady and you

have lost your chance to appear young.



Perhaps there are girls in your high

school who wear very white noses and

wads of hair extending three inches

beyond each ear. The really worth—

while man will look for the girl with

good looks and a minimum of artifi-

ciality about her. It is one thing to

attract attention and quite another to

win sincere admiration.





FALL FASHION FANCIES.





 





0 far as one can judge after going



through several columns of fashion

chatter and sifting out a half dozen

facts, here are about the only things

one can feel reasonably sure of.



Skirts are to be longer; not much,

but at least some. There will be little

change in the lines of the dress,

though panels will not be so good.



Black, which has been much worn

this season, seems about to be sup-

planted by brown, which one authority

tells you is to be the leading color,

while another claims green is to be





featured. A red American Beauty gray ,





in va1ious shades, these are the colors

mentioned.





As to fabrics, serges and kindred

hard cloths are not to be seen. There

promises to be a revival of our old

standby, cashmere, which appears un-

der its own name, and masquerading

as pearllaine. As pearllaine it is a

heavier grade than any with which we

have been acquainted, and will be used,

for suits and coats. Duvetyn will still

be worn, and there seems to be a pref-

erence for rough—surfaced stuff.





Hats follow in shapes those which

have been popular all summer. There

is a little silk duvetyn model in shape

like the sport hats which have been so

popular all summer. Sailors of hatter’s

plush, broad—brimmed hats of felt and

velvet, and trim little turbans of vel-

vet may be shown. They are simply

trimmed with. bands and bows, or per-

haps a falling end, and quills. Felt

hats are often bound with ribbon.





HOUSEHOLD HINTS.





 





An easy and satisfactory method of

shrinking gingham is to lay the mate-

rial without unfolding, in a large tub

of lukewarm water to which a little

salt has been added. Let it soak until

all the folds are thoroughly saturated.

Take it out, unfold, and without wring-





ing at all, pin on a line where there is .





a brisk breeze. When dry the ging~

ham will have the appearance of hay”

ing been carefully ironed—Mrs. O’C.





Blood from meat, or water in which

meat has been washed, is a good fer—

tilizer for house plants. If the blood

is used, it is best to dig a hole and

pour in and cover with earth, because

if poured on the surface it may cause

a" bad odor.——Mrs. L. L. G.



When straining jelly or making cot-

tage cheese, pour into a cloth and fast-





en the edges of the cloth to the rim of '





a deep dish by means of spring clothes-

pins. The best way is to fasten the





“cloth securely in place before pouring

in the jelly ormilkq-elllrs. L. M. g T.

N most every part of the State Fair

Igrounds one could see evidences of



some Boys’ and Girls’ Club activity.

At the main entrance was the State

Fair School camp in which the club

boys were quartered. Down the road

a short distance was the house in

which the girls slept. Right in the

center of things in the agricultural

building were the booths where cook-

ing, canning, sewing and handicraft

demonstrations were given by the

young folks. In the poultry building

were poultry exhibits and demonstra-

tions in judging and culling by young

poultry enthusiasts. In the stock

barns the youthful stock raisers were





at the National Dairy Show in Minne-

apolis and at the International Live

Stock Show in Chicago.



The boys 3. d girls had some very

creditable live stock exhibits. The

beef calf club of Lenawee county had

a carload of feeder steers that attract-

ed a lot of attention. Lenawee county

also showed Holsteins, Shropshire

sheep and pigs. Hillsdale and Wayne

counties showed pigs, and Eaton coun~

ty showed Shorthorns, Holsteins and

pigs. In all there were over fifty pens

of poultry, Wayne county being the

largest poultry exhibitor shown by the

boys and girls. In the egg—laying con-





test for club members there were five

competing with some of'the best show

men in the country and were winning

prizes. They were also showing their

ability to recognize good stock in the

judging contests.



One hundred and eighty-four boy

and girl club members from twenty-six

counties of the state, besides a lot of

high school students, were the guests

of the State Fair Association. Mr. R.

A. Turner, state club leader, superin-

tended their activities—their play as

well as their work.



The work of the club members was

divided into two general classes, dem-

onstration and judging. The demon

stration work was done by teams in

cooking, canning, garment—making,

handicraft and grain judging. Teams

selected for this outing to the fair

were those which showed the best all-

around work so far this season. In

poultry demonstration work the fol-

lowing counties were represented:

Washtenaw, Eaton, Iron, Wayne, Me-

nominee and Branch. In canning,

Wayne, Washtenaw, Eaton, Cheboy—

gan, Lenawee, Osecola and Calhoun





teams gave demonstrations. Teams

from Saginaw, Genesee, Wayne,

Branch and Barry counties showed





State Fair visitors how to cook. The

garment—making demonstration came

from Newaygo, Macomb, Alger, Mar-

quette, Mason and Ingham counties.

Handicraft workers were from Sagi-

naw, Eaton, Dickinson, Marquette, Del-

ta and Branch counties. And the grain

judging teams came from Eaton, Che-

boygan, Saginaw, Calhoun, Macomb

and Washtenaw counties.



In the judging work there were ten

teams of three boys each. The coun-

ties represented were Eaton, Iron, Bar-

aga, Saginaw, Macomb, Branch, Cal-

houn, Lenawee, Washtenaw and

Wayne. These clubs were selected for

this State Fair trip by elimination con-

tests in judging during the season.

The winners in the fair contest will

pens. Most of this live stock was ell-

tered in the open class contests as

well as in the club contests.



Where the club members showed to

best advantage the value of their club

work Was in the open class contests.

In these contests they competed with

some of the best live stock men in the

country, and made very creditable

showings. At the time of going to

press Eaton county won first and sec-

ond prizes in the Berkshire sow under

six months old class. They also won

the reserve junior champion sow

award. For Poland—Chinas under six

months old Hillsdale won first prize

and Eaton third. Hillsdale got fourth

in the O. I .C. sow under six months

old class. And in Holsteins, Lenawee

county won first senior bull calf and

first junior champion bull calf.



All of the club work, the demonstra-

tions, the judging contests and the ex—

hibits showed thoroughly the practical

value of the club work. They gave

convincing evidence that club work

was instilling in the members the right

ideas for progressive and profitable

agriculture.

sults in the open class contests show-

ed that with a short time of pgpper

training produced results that took





older folks years to get. Club work.





 

 

 





But most of all, the re--





apparently is the short cut to expe

rience..

A FRENCH WAR ORPHAN WITH A

GOOD RECORD.





 





ENEE STASSER, (pronounced

RenA’ Stah’ser), eleven years old,

with fourteen of her schoolgirl com-

panions, made a trip to the battle

lines and visited with the American

soldiers when they were in France.

Renee lost her father at the very be-

ginning of ,the war and is a true leg-

ion daughter. During the parades in

France she was one of the girls who

threw flowers at the soldiers.

Recently, Renee participated in the

ceremonies at Orleans, France, in hon-

or of Jeanne D’Arc, the monumental

statue of Joan of Arc being located

there, and in the parade she was in

the lead of the orphan girls.

As a Paris school girl, Renee stands

first in her class—B. N. S.





WHAT ONE CALF CLUB HAS

BROUGHT ABOUT.





 





ROM an Ohio county comes an in-



dication of what agricultural club

work for boys and girls may amount

to after it has been under way a few

years.



In 1919, forty-four youngsters com-

pleted a year's work in a county calf

club. Now, tlh'ee of them are taking

agriculture at the state university, and

ten more will attend college when they

finish high school. '



Nineteen of the calves in this club

were put on a. single square mile of

hill country, where there were prac-

tically no pure—bred Herefords at the

time. Today in that square mile five

pure-bred herds are being developed

by calf club “graduates,” by their fath

ers, or by both.





COP AND ROBBER.





 





OP and Robber” is an after-dark



game, and the officer must be

equipped with a. flashlight and cap

pistol (without caps), or some other

toy that will snap.



The “cop” blinds and the robbers

are then given twenty seconds in

which to find hiding places. The ofil~

cer then searches them out, using his

flashlight. The first boy found be-

comes “cop” for the next game.



The robber may, if he wishes, resist

capture but must not touch or inter-

fere with the officer’s gun, and when-

ever the gun is snapped the prisoner

must at once cease resistance and ac-

company his captor, as he is then sup’

posed to be shot.
crowds were not as large as last year

the proportion of people who visited

the stock barns was apparently great-

er than for 1920.



Housing accommodations for the

stock were inadequate and many herds

had to go in tents, or in pens located

in the grove on the north side of the

grounds. Plans are now being consid-

ered for the construction of a large

live stock pavilion to be ready for

1922. With the space provided by this

new structure and the present perma-

nent barns it is anticipated that ani-

mals coming to future shows will be





housed under excellent sanita1y condi- _





tions and where they can be shown to

the very best advantage.



There were several foreign exhibit-

ors. Ohio showed the largest number

of animals, while Pennsylvania. and

Canada had excellent herds and flocks

on the grounds. Michigan exhibitors

were by no means overshadowed by

visiting breeders and this fair went

far in the direction of changing the

mind of the general public to under-

stand better that others do not pro-

vide more favorable conditions for the

development of superior types of do-

mestic animals, and that nowhere are

breeders more alert to the require-

ments for rearing the highest types of

live stock than are those right here in

the Wolverine state.



Following is a list of the awards in





the various classes:

Horses.



The alignment of horses pleased en-

thusiastic horsemen as well as lovers

of all good animals. Of the draft type

three breeds were represented—Belgi-

ans, Percherons and Clydesdales. The

heavy exhibitors were: Michigan Ag-

ricultural College, Owosso Sugar Com-

pany, George Ackerman & Sons, and

Lonzo McClain & Sons. Iu‘ge John

UALLY.





SUALLY at this season of the year



there is an increase in the amount

of disease‘in the swine herds.

quently little hog cholera is found dur-

ing the summer, but with fall condi-

tions much more is reported. . The ag-

gravating cause often is the change

from dry to green corn. Hogs accus-

tom‘ed to dry feeds all summer are put

upon green ‘corn quickly without being

allowed enough time for their diges-

tive systems to become accustomed to

the radical change in feed. Then dis-

eases which had not bee nable to get





a hold upon the hogs when healthy





begin to affect the weaker ones of the

herd.





Prevention of such disease attacks

consists in avoiding too radical feed

changes. By allowing ten days or two

weeks time for the change to green

corn, with a gradual elimination of dry

grains, there will be less chance of

lowering the animal‘s resistance to

disease. Feed also with the green

corn some protein feed, such as tank-

age or linseed meal. Experiments

show beyond a doubt that hogs so fed

are» healthier and make more rapid

and cheaper gains than those fed on

corn alone—E. F. F.

Irregular Form of Strangles.-—Have

a. four-year-old horse that had an at-

tack of distemper last winter. This

summer he has a. large swelling on

side and upper part of neck close to

head. When pressure is applied, he

flinches as if it hurt him. I imagine

there is some swelling on opposite

side of neck. Does this bunch come

from bad teeth or distemper? C. D.

W., Rose. City, Mich.-—Doubtless a cold

abscess is forming which in time will

break open; however, it is good prac-

tice to liberate pus whenever it forms.

Clip off hair and apply tincture of io-

dine every day or two. Give him one

dram doses of potassium iodide in feed

or in drinking watei'ltwice daily. It is

considered good practice to give ser-

um treatment to such a horse, but of

course your veterinarian is the person

to apply it.





Cow Gives Bloody Milk.——I have a.

two-year-old heifer that calves last

December. In June she began giving

bloody milk; she is a premium cow

and will again come fresh in Novem-

ber. We are very anxious to have her

cured. Mrs. E. A. M., Berrien Center,

Mich—Blood may escape with milk

when the udder has been injured by

blows, also when it is congested or

inflamed, when the circulation through

it has been suddenly increased by rich-

er and more abundant food, or when

the cow is under the excitement of

heat. In milk which becomes red after

it is drawn it may be due to the pres-

ence in it of the Micrococcus prodigi-

osus, this also grows on bread. Rough

milking is a common cause, therefore

careful milking is a remedy. Lack of

bedding or allowing cows to hook each

other are also causes. If you can fig-

ure out the cause, then remove it, she

will soon cease giving bloody milk.





Weak Back.——We have three shoats

four months old that are weak in the

back, and they are gradually growing

worse. None of the remedies we have

tried help them. I wish you would tell

me what ails them and what to do for

them. E. N., Midland, Mich.#During

the hot weather if pigs have access a;

wallow, which is supplied with cold

spring water, they are likely to suffer

from stiffness and havemore or less

back trouble; feeding too much corn

is another common cause,’lack of ex-

ercise and sleeping in too damp place

Give

each vpig five or ten grain doses of

.. _ Sheep.



The showing of sheep was the heav-

iest in the history of the fair. About

1,200 animals were in the pens. All

claslses were filled, some of which had

not been represented: at previous ses-

sions of this fair. In all there were

about thirty flocks, of which Ohio sent

four and New York one——the remaind-

er being from Michigan breeders. The

fine wools were shown in unusually

large numbers. In many classes the

placing was extremely difficult, due to

the large number of excellent animals.

C. J. Kellogg, of Reading, judged the

coarse, long and middlewool classes,

while Prof. George H. Brown, of the

Michigan Agricultural College, did the

work in. the fine wool division This

is how the judging resulted:

WHEAT





The strength of the world’s wheat

situation is becoming more apparent

and the market has shown a decided

response to it. Prices have gained

about twenty cents in three weeks,

the highest point since the new crop

year started. Receipts at primary mar-

kets last week are nearly double those

of last year, but less than twenty per

cent of the big run for two months

has been left in the visible supply at

terminals. Spring wheat has not mov-

ed rapidly enough to become a burden

and the movement has fallen off in the

last week. In both northwestern and

Canadian markets, mills have been ac-

tive buyers, although flour demand is

said to be still a hand—to-mouth affair.

Export purchases remain large, as only

a small part of their year’s require-

ments have been purchased thus far.





CORN





The corn crap estimate for Septem-

ber 1 was 3,188,000,000 bushels, a yield

only exceeded by that of last year.

The yield is only 48,000,000 bushels

less than a year ago and 388,000,000

bushels more than the average of the

preceding five years. Frost is expect-

ed in some sections of the cornbelt

but most of the crop is safe.





OATS





The September 1 estimate of the

oat crops was 1,090,000,000 bushels, a

loss of 47,000.000 bushels during Aug-

ust. Last year’s yield was 1,526,000,-

000 bushels and the average of the

preceding five years was 1,433,000,000

bushels. Although the carryover of

old oats was large, the available sup-

ply is considerably below average do-

mestic consumption, especially when

the low feeding value of the new crop

is considered. Export demand is not

yet large but is expected to develop

later on. Oat prices have advanced

‘about 25 per cent in the last three

weeks. Receipts are a little more than

half as large as at this time last year.

Improvement in the southern outlook

has increased the demand from that

section. ‘





‘ BEANS

The bean crop is far below the aver-

age, the September 1 estimate being

"‘- an \ »





3.1.3.1255“





 





. . ..

“D-





L‘-





8,800,000 bushels. This shows a small

decline during August and is also

slightly below the light crop of last

year which totaled 9,100,000 bushels.

The average yield during the preced-

ing five years was 13,300,000 bushels.





SEEDS





Clover prices advanced sharply dur-

ing the past week as a result of a

small increase in demand. Consider-

able quantities of red clover, alfalfa

and orchard grass seed have been im-

ported recently but Germany is buying

timothy and red-top in this country.





FEEDS





Wheat feeds have been weak as a

result of larger offerings. Stocks at

lake ports are said to be large and

increasing. Export demand for oil

meals has increased and they show

strength. The light crops of cotton

and flax also aid these meals. Cotton-

seed meal for fall shipment is about

$5 higher than a week ago.





HAY





Demand for hay in the south has

shown slight improvement recently.

General dullness is the rule in most

markets. Country loadings are again

increasing. The crop lost ground dur-

ing August and is estimated at 94,600,-

000 tons, of which 79,800,000 tons are

tame hay and 14,800,000 tons are wild

hay. Last year’s crop was 108,200,000

tons and the average of the preceding

five years was 93,500,000. This year’s

supply appears ample.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg prices still held within a sur-

prisingly narrow range and poultry

remains high compared with other

meats and with price of eggs. Larger

receipts of poultry may bring some

adjustment before long.

Chicago—Eggs, fresh firsts 29@3lc;

ordinary firsts 24@26c. Poultry, broil-





ers 260; hens general run 26c; roosters

13c; ducks 20c; geese 210; turkeys

350 per pound.



Detroit—Eggs, fresh candied at 33c.

Poultry, hens at 26@28c roosters 14@

15c; turkeys 30c; ducks 20@22c per

pound; geese 150. ’





BUTTER





A decrease of about 25 per cent in

receipts of butter at the principal cit-

ies accompanied by satisfactory buy

ing after the holiday carried butter

prices moderately higher. Eastern

markets show less firmness than Chi

cago as considerable butter is arriving

which was recently purchased in the

middlewest. Average quality is low

due to the recent hot weather so that

fancy butter is scarce. Reports from

the Pacific Coast and the southwest

show shrinkage in production with

some butter from the Dakotas being

shipped westward. Prices for 92-score

fresh butter are as follows: Chicago

401/20; New York 42c. 'At Detroit the

fresh creamery in tubs is quoted at

351/2@36c per pound.





POTATOES





Improvement in the potato crop dur

ing August is shown by the oflicial

estimate of 323,000,000 bushels which

is 25 per cent less than last year and

48,000,000 bushels less than the aver

age of the preceding five years. Since

the crop is below normal consumptive

needs, moderately higher‘prices later

on seem probable. The sweet potato

crop, on the other hand, deteriorated

during August but is still 110,000,000

bushels and compares with a six-year

average of 89,200,000 bushels. Potato

prices advanced last week, especially

in the east. No. 1 Minnesota Early

Ohios are quoted at $3@3.15 per 100

lbs. sacked at Chicago, with eastern

round whites at $4.50@5 per ISO-lb

sack in eastern markets.

WOOL

After a temporary lull demand for

wool increased again last week. Pric-

es remain firm and at the government

auction values .were five to ten per





cent' higher than. a month ago. The

goods market improved also. The ad-

vance in cotton may have had some

influence but the wool market outlook

is gradually improving. All the foreign

auctions are strong and values are

hardening, even in England where the

textile situation was unsatisfactory a

short time ago. Some buying of fine

wools by American operators is report-

ed both in British and Australian auc-

tions. Wool consumption by mills dur-

ing July decreased about 11 per cent

below the June level but the total was

46,351,000 which is practically a nor-

mal quantity. More wool grading

three-eighths blood or below is being

used than before. Sales of fine and

fine medium staple wool from state

pools are reported at 28@30c; half-

blood staple at 26@28c; three-eighths

blood staple at 23@25c; quarter—blood

at 21@l23c; low quarter at 16@1-8c;

braid at 12@14c.

Movement of the 1921 peach crop in

the fruit belt of Western Michigan

was nearing the close of-the season

this week as growers began bringing

BU MBLE-FOOT.





 





 





I have some yearling hens that have

small lumps between their toes and

the cushions on the bottoms of their

feet are swollen and filled with pus.

The hens seem hearty and well. What

is the cause of this trouble and the

treatment?—R. I.





Your hens are undoubtedly troubled

with what is called bumble-foot. This

trouble is caused by roosting on too

high or too narrow roosts or by un-

discovered wounds caused by stepping

on nails or glass.



The best treatment to follow is to

tie a cord tightly about the leg above
