One of the methods of getting rid of such pests as Canada this-' tles and quack-grass that has been suggest- ed is to put a cement pavement over the place and keep it there for a few years, or a cheaper substitute cover the land with tarred paper-till the existing plants are smothered out, all of which seems- paying too much, assuming that the desired result could . be obtained. Another method, not involving much use of the hoe, [and which looks good‘on paper, however it might work out in practice, has been suggested, viz., to seed the plat to alfalfa and crop the affalja till the Weeds If that would work it would the dock to the ferry, and suggested that he By Joén R. Rood might make it in a couple of jumps, there might be an initial difficulty in getting the stand of alfalfa. Perhaps such suggestions may look like the cogitations of a man too lazy to work, hunting for some eaSy way; but if such men really find the easy way they are public ben- efactors. If they fail they are called dream- ers. We judge by the results. Fact is, to be honest,‘ none of us care to do work for nothing. But to get back to the subject, we all start out in the spring, hoe in hand, or with some more effective instrument, resolved to keep the land clean this year.’ But by the time the days get hot and the weeds come fast, they begin to get the better of us, and soon the battle is lost again for us and won by the weeds. No one feels this difficulty more than the mail-order farmer, who is compelled by force of circumstances to ac- cept such results as he can get from others. But even for the man on the job it is no easy trick. To any who are interested in getting results Of this kind, the following experience is recited: Last spring we decided to put in some sun-flowers for silage on a plat that had quite a patch of solid quack-grass on it; and by such cultivation as could be obtained we tried to hold the quack back till-the sun— flowers got going, and it looked for a while like a losing game; but fighting one weed with a more vigorous and thrifty one ~is pretty good logic, and surely the reader Will admit that the sun-flower is a hustler. Well, pretty soon the sun-flowers were reaching up higher than the quack could; and unlike corn the broad leaves of the sun-flowers left no spaces between the sunlight to get down to where the (Continued on page 283).

NUMBER THIRTEEN DETROIT, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 CURRENT COMMENT VERY reader of the M i c h i g a n Observe F a r m e r should be Memory thoroughly familiar Day with the aim and ob— ject of Memory Day, established through the untiring ef- forts of Mr. J. T. Daniels, of Clinton county. Years ago he conceived the idea of making September 30 of each year a day set apart for the improve- ment of rural cemeteries and the dec- oration of the graves of departed friends, just as Memorial Day is set apart for the remembrance and honor of the nation’s soldier dead. His ef- forts were given early indorsement by the State Association of Farmers’ Clubs, and the State Grange, and later legislative and gubernatorial recogni~ tion, while the press has annually dis- seminated general information regard- ing the growth of the Memory Day movement. Each year Mr. Daniells has secured a poem from the pen of some gifted Writer, fittingly expressing the Mem- ory Day sentiment, for convenient use in the conduct of public exercised in Observance of the day. The poem this year will be found on page 282 of this issue. Memory Day songs set. to ap- propriate music have also been writ- ten at his request, and published in this and other papers of wide circula- tion in the state. This movement is thoughtful attention of every Michi- gan Farmer reader. Every one of us Will be the better for a day spent in honoring the memory of our departed friends and in beautifying their last resting places. Let us help to make Memory Day the generally established and observed event in the life of: every rural community for which its founder hopes and which its aim and object worthy of the merits. OO often the line fence is a source Over the of difficulty between L’ne neighbors. In too few Fence cases is our gaze cast a over the line fence to study our neighbor’s methods and re- sults as a means of bettering our own. In too many cases where our neigh- bors are more successful with their crops than we, it arouses our enmity and jealously rather than our curios- ity, and we are inclined to condole ourselves upon our “bad luck” rather than to carefully investigate the cause ' of his better success under similar conditions, andtllus miss entirely the benefit of .an object lesson 'Whlch ' sho’uld be helpful to us in improving our own farming practice. . It is a. peculiarity of human nature ' that most of us are inclined to give closer attention to the distant object lesson and the explanation of a suc- cessful stranger than to the one which might be available just over the line fence, although as a matter of fact it probably would not be nearly as val- uable to us or as applicable to our own case, owing to the greater difference in soil and climatic conditions which. may have contributed to 'the success or,failure as the case may be. The distant object lesson is, of course, in- teresting and its study should not be neglected if it has any pessible hear- ing on our own business, but the les- sons which are everywhere to be learn- ed just over the line fence or in the immediate community are still more important and of greater value to each and every one of us. This is the season of the year when those object lessons are most plentiful and when lessons back of them can best be learned. This is a period when - economic methods are more than ordi- narily important and in which we can- not afford to neglect any known or es- tablished factor of success. It will pay each and every one of us to cast an observing and inquiring eye over the line fence in search of the valuable lessons which the experiences of our neighbors hold for us. Such a course will furnish much valuable food for thought during the coming winter sea- son, and will aid in planning a more successful farm campaign for next year. ARMERS general- Cr Op 8 1y are feeling more optomistic over the Show Im' outlook for the year’s provement business than they felt during July and August when the drought was on. Re- cent weather conditions have favored Near East Relief Plans OR the first time the farmers of Fthe country are to be given an opportunity to make a definite and recognized contribution for the relief of extreme suffering in the war-stricken countries of the Near East. In this far away land, from which sprang our most treasured ideals, a vast people have struggled for the maintenance of those ideals and endured constant hardships that have for long won for them the ad- miration of the enlightened world. For five long years these pastoral people have planted their grain as usual, but there have been no harvests. March- ing troops have trampled down their grain. \Var has taken their strong men, until today their number is a hoarde of old and helpless refugees and a greater horde of orphaned chil- dren. The consequent suffering has been relieved to some extent by the philan- thropic efforts of the Near East Relief, a relief organization backed by many of this country’s most prominent and public spirited men, officially recogniz- ed by congress and in which the cost of administration is limited to five per cent of the contributions. of this organization are almost wholly directed to the saving and rehabilita- tion of the thousands upon thousands of orphaned children in Armenia and other Near East countries. -Tremen— dous as has been their efforts, and great as has been the results accom- plished, the organization has found its present resources for the feeding of these starving children totally inade- quate to the task in hand, and have appealed to. the farmers of America for the gift of five million bushels of grain. or. its equivalent. to carry ‘ on The efforts , the ‘iriaturing of crops, production costs are far. below what they were in 1920 and prices show an upward ten- dency. As a result of these factors working , together the season now promises to be one of substantial help to the agricultural classes, particularly in the diversified farming states such as Michigan. Cash crops have made material im- provement following recent rains, good growing temperatures and no frosts. The ederal crop‘review indi- cated that one-half of the improvement in the potato crop for the country has occurred right here in Michigan. While early beans were light the late fields will give a fair yield of good quality beans. The sugar beet crop has. developed a remarkable tonnage since the middle of August when the dry weather hf many sections was be- ginning to check growth. New seeding has made a big growth, especially in the central and northern counties, while the total clover seed- crop is going to be fair—June clover prospects now being real promising. Although the country’s fruit crops are very short, it is noteworthy that more carloads of grapes, peaches and apples have left Michigan to date than were shipped out of the state at this time a year ago. This is due largely to the earliness of the season, but the growers are also being happily surpris- ed at the yields since the trees, as usual during seasons of light crops, are producing larger individual fruits and thus swelling the total harvest be- yond expectations. Truck crop and melon fields have produced heavily; however, some loss has resulted to the cabbage, melon and tomato growers by cracking, due to too rapid growth. All theSe conditions, together with the abundant corn crop, the splendid pastures and the good third and, in some__instances, fourth cuttings of al- falfa, are overcoming the handicap of a. short hay crop and will give anew impetus to stock feeding and dairying.

Michigan’s quota'for this (purpose is 100,000 bush- els of grain. Principally wheat and corn are needed. For the purpose of working out feas- ible plans for the accumulation of this grain a number of Michigan men, well known in agricultural circles have been designated as an Emergency Grain Board of the General Committee of Near East Relief for Michigan as follows: Governor Alex J. Groesbeck, (ex-officio as honorary chairman of the state organization); H. H. Halladay, chairman, State Commissioner of Ag- riculture; James Nicol, President of Michigan State Farm Bureau; A. B. Cook, Master Michigan State Grange; Grant Slocum, President of The Glean- ers; Alfred Allen, President Michigan State Association of Farmers’ Clubs; Prof. David Friday, President-Elect Michigan Agricultural College; Frank B.

Yet the blind man who carefully exam- ined only the legs of one of these trop- ical monsters could not be otherwise convinced. And like this sightless man people generally get erroneotIs ideas of things where they have only frag- mentary info1mation. Naturally one who knows the habits of the corn plant would say that for Michigan, at least, the best corn counties would be found in the extreme southern portion of the state. But according to statisics, such is not the case. More corn is grown per township in' a few of the central counties than on land farther to the ‘South. It is about the farmers and _the farms of one of these counties that this story is written. . Why have scores of industrious Ill- their high-priced land in the sister state and moved up. on farms in Gratiot county, Michigan? Perhaps they had good reasons for do- ing this. The following table on the average yield of corn for the past ten years in Illinois, Michigan and Gratiot county may have furnished a basis for this migration: Year. Illinois. Michigan. Gratiot. 1911 3 37.7 1912 40 34 42.6 1913 27 , 33.5, 39.7 1914 29 36 38.6 1915 36 , 32 36.4 1916 29.5 27.5 30 1917 38 .. 21.5 34 1918 ..... 35 30 38 1919 35 39 45 1920 34 40 44 These cold figures from the bureau of crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture are inter- esting. In only one instance did the yield in the great corn state of Illinois {exceed the average in Gratiot county. That was in the year of 1917 when 'Michigan had the lightest crop during the ten-year period. The average yield 'for Illinois during this ten-year period was 33.7 bushels per abre. For Mich- igan it was 32.7, while for Gratiot county it was 38.6 bushels. But these careful corn belt farmers may have carried their investigations still farth~ er. If they did so, they may have not- ed something like the following: The winter wheat grown in Gratiot county in 1920 totalled 353,080 bushels, or an average yield of 18.2 bushels as .compared with 15.2 for the state of Illinois for the same year. The same year Gratiot’s oat cr0p which amount- ed to 1,349,020 bushels averaged with- in a half bushel of the acre average for Illinois which was 391,4 bushels. Rye averaged higher in Gratiot county, as did also her hay crop. Neither the Michigan copnty nor Illinois specialize in the production of potatoes. How- ever, the average was 115 bushels and sixty-five bushels respectively. , '- In addition to these staple crops, 1c gm 5 ,one. Gratiot is a leading county in the pro— ' duction of white beans, not only in the United States, but throughout the world. Also the soil of this county was early recognized by the late'Dr. Robert Kedzie, of the Michigan Agri- cultural College, as one peculiarly suited to the production of sugar beets and the experience of the past quarter century substantiates the good judg- men of Michigan’s pioneer leader in scientific agriculture. Rotations Foijpwed. The rotation usually followed by these successful farmers is a short Sod ground is plowed and plant- ed to some cultivated crop. The larg- est portion of this sod is devoted to “Banner Wéat Me Stanmz' Foam! in Old “Starving Grating” denceuon our trips through the county: As to the present need of lime, it can be said that on the majority of soils no acid reaction is evident, and it is very easy to secure good stands of clover‘,~'alfalfa and other legumes. In few sections of Michigan can greater enthusiasm for good seeds be found. These farmers are buying heavily of improved varieties of all crops in which they are interested. It is difficult to find a field of rye that is not of the Rosen variety. College VVon- der, College Success and Wolverine cats are all popular. Pickett Yellow Dent, white cap varieties and ensilage corn are generally favored, while Red f Gratz'at’s flgrim/tum/ Agem‘ LAYTON T. COOK, the progres sive agricultural agent of Gratiot county, was born in Shiawassee coun- ty, April 11, in 1871. He attended the district school and entered the Agri- ‘cultural College in his sixteenth year. The long winter vacations at the col- lege were then in vogue, and Mr. Cook spent three winters teaching district school. He graduated from the M. A. C. in 1891. Following his graduation, he taught a full year in district school and another in the science department of the Flint High School, after which he attended and graduated from the University of Michigan law school in 1896. Throat trouble forced Mr. Cook upon his doctor’s advice, to seek a change of climate. He spent four years in Georgia where he devoted his ener- gy to the raising of peaches. Herehe was also married. He returned to Shi- awassee county in 1901 and has been a dirt farmer until entering the farm bureau work in 1920. He made a spe- cialty of small fruits, one year har- vesting twenty acres of strawberries. ' Nearly every winter he has fed one or more carloads of cattle or sheep. He has two boys. One is attending the Owosso High School and the other has completed two years at the M. A. C. corn, and the remainder to beans, sug- ar beets, or potatoes. Occasionally beets are grown on the same land fer two successive seasons, but this prac- tice is not general. The cultivated land is plowed and sown to cats or barley the following spring. Many farmers seed with these spring grainswhile others plow the oat or barley stubble under and sow the ground to wheat, which is seeded the following spring. Clover is the usual legume crop grown of which about thirty per cent of the acreage is alsike. Where farmers per- mit the seeding to stand two years, a mixture of clover and timothy is used. While the natural fertilizing ele— ments in the soils of this county were _large, the farmers have been alert to the advantages of replenishing na- ture’s supplies. They are now using considerable amounts of phosphates. Many convincing illustrations ‘of the value of acid phosphates were in evi< Rock wheat is gaining in the number of farmer advocates. Drainage has been a big factor in the agricultural history of the county. Of the total area, 87.7 per cent is with- in organized drainage districts. Over one and a half million dollars have been expended in developing these ex- tensive drainage ‘enterprises, Large tracts of exceedingly fertile land have been added to the crop-producing ter- ritory as fast as drainage facilities were provided. Good outlets have en- couraged tile drainage. It is now diffi- cult to find a farm in this county where some tile has not been laid, al- though but few farms are completely under-drained. Probably as much drain tile has been purchased by Gratiot county farmers as by the farmers of any other county in the state. Under- orn Connty drainage enables these men to get their creps into good seed-beds about ‘ as early as it is possible on higher land and then the plants usually have an adequate supply of moisture to car- ry them through to the harvest season. Going After Pure-bred Live Stock. As one travels through the various - townships. he is impressed by the large number of young farmers who are going into the pure-bred live stock business. There is not a large number of old-time breeders. The hardwood forests and the big drainage enterpris- es were cared for by a generation of people, many of whom are still occu- pying the farms which they have wrested from nature. These men had little inclination to think of the de- velopment of purebred animals, but pioneering as the early settlers under- stood it is now past and we venture that there is no equal area of Michi- gan where one can find a larger per- centage of farmers who are introduc- ing into their herds purebred animals. Just how these men feel over the introduction of good stock is shown by their attitude toward the purchase of animals .last spring for Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work. County Agent Cook sought to locate animals of fairly good breeding at moderate prices for the boys and girls, but “the parents would not listen to the purchase of ordinary stock. They insisted on getting the best animals that could be found and were ready to pay the price. The writ- er has just received word from the 1921 Gratiot County Fair, and he un- derstands that the quality of stock ex- hibited by the junior breeders of the county was the equal of, and, in many instances, superior to the animals ex- hibited by their elders. It was our intention to give a brief statement on the achievements of the leading breeders of the county, but when we asked Mr. Cook for a brief list of such men he held up his hands stating, “While we do not have many old breeders, there is a long list of active, energetic farmers mostly of the younger generation who are going into the breeding business with a determi- nation to make good. It would be un- just to mention a few of these breed- ers without taking perhaps fifty to seventy—five per cent of them into con- sideration. These young men usually have some money which they are spending judiciously for breeding stock, but when they find animals which are to their liking, prices do not seem to be a serious limitation.” As a result of this attitude, Mr. Cook states that an unprecedented number of good breeding animals has been brought into the sixteen townships in the past few years.

Poland-Chinas, mostly of the ~larger type, are well represented, while several farmers are Specializing in O. I. C.’s. Many pure- bred herds of swine are grown for pork only. Quite a number of Shorthorn cattle are raised and a few herds of Registered Angus are grazing on the luxuriant pastures of the county. Of the dairy breeds, Guernsey and H01- steins predominate, although a few fine herds of Jerseys have been devel- oped. Generally speaking, a fine type of horse may now be seen on the farms in this 'section of Michigan, which was not formerly true. This change has come through the use of good sires, although an increasingly large number of registered mares are being intro- duced. At different times in the past efforts have been made toward the develop- ment of efficient cooperative agencies. Many of the attempts failed here the same as in other parts of the state and of the country. However, it is probable that as large a proportion of the farm products of the county is sold through .pfarmer-owned elevators and shipping associations as elsewhere in the state. The live stock shipping associations, a few of which have but recently started doing business, handled a hall million dollars’ worth of live stock last year. The farmers’ elevator at Ithaca did about $700,000 worth of business. The directors of this elevator are: Theo- dore Bloss, R. A. Wood, B, L. Case, E. C. Brooks and Luther Carter. C. R. Aldrich is president, B. Melinger, vice- presidont, E. R. Redman, secretary, that five ”or the Sixty members of the Lee Townsend, treasurer,‘__ Miller, manager.

Smith,- A. E. Sex- ton, A. L. Giles, F. A. Sexton and B. L. Case. M. W. Muscott is manager. The directors of the Middleton Farms ers’ Elevator where $125,000 worth of business was done last year are: R. C. Blank, J. A. Staley, J. D. Smith, E. H. Shinline, Edward Bohen, Charles Wagner arfd W. G. Troub, with B. A. Pomeroy as manager. A cooperative creamery at St. Louis diSposed of $270,000 worth of dairy products the past season. ‘ The Gratiot County. Farm Bureau is working to correlate the various lines of agricultural work in the county, and under the capable direction of county agricultural manager, Clayton Cook, is succeeding in bringing the ad- vantages of cooperative effort to a wider circle of farmers. Mr. Cook is supported in this work by a splendid board of real farmer directors. They are as follows: Floyd Hines, president of the board, is a life—long resident of the county, a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural College, and a breeder of registered Holstein cattle. He is doing a general farming business and lives near Per- rinton. J. M. Barnhart, vice-president, is one of the farmers who came to the county from Illinois. He is a university grad- uate, and like most men from the corn Enos Hawes, secretary and treasur- er, is the youngest man on the com~ mitte'e. He is a graduate of the Alma High School and has taken a course at the Michigan Agricultural College. At present Mr. Hawes is operating the four-hund1 ed -acre stock‘ and grain farm upon which he was born. A. A. Russell is a resident of Lafay- ette township. For four years he has served on the board ‘of supervisors, previous to which he was township treasurer. He does a general farming business. Harold Mouser has been a resident of Neward township nearly all his life and is a breeder of registered Short- horn cattle and Shropshire sheep. With ’cattle and sheep as a specialty, Mr. Mouser is doing a general farm business. He is also a director of the county fair. S. B. Clark has been a lifelong farm- er, and has lived in the immediate neighborhood of Alma for nearly twen. ty years. He took a business course at Alma College and is now in the dairy business, developing a nice herd of registered Guernseys. He is the treasurer of Arcadia township. Wm. Schiff, of Elwell, has lived in Gratiot about ten years. He also mi- grated from Illinois. His principal farm products are sugar beets, corn, hay and live stock. I William Vanderbeek, supervisor of Bethany township, is a progressive farmer, raising principally sugar beets, livestock and grain. His long years of experience as a farmer, together with his travels in the south and west executive board. Club Work Devddplng. The Boys’ and Girls’ Club work is being fostered " by the farm bureau, and Mr. Cook is meeting with splendii response from the‘junior farmers of the county. Previous to the organiza- tion“ of the farm bureau, some work had been done along this line. Since Mr. Cook has taken hold of the work, one calf Club and five pig clubs havx been organized with an enrollment r .5 fifty members. The calf club member; are raising largely Holsteins, while the pig clubs are divided between P01- and- Chinas and Duroc Jerseys. The outlook for a permanent agri‘ cultural program in this county is mo 1‘. promising. The farmers are not boast- ful, but are generally conservative, thoughtful and hard-working men who are building good homes as well as good farms and are anxious that their children have every opportunity to pre- pare themselves to meet the demands of the world in the next generation. Curiously this county had the lowest percentage of illiteracy of any county in the state -when the 1910 census was taken. Since then, considerable indus- trial activity has developed within the county and it is probable that the 1920 census figures will show.an increase in the percentage of illiterates. This is a strong grange center, there now being ten active subordinate granges. These, together with several actvie gleaner arbors and farmers’ Clubs, and a few real live community clubs, are making the county a good place for any one to live in by making it a good place for everybody to live. LATE AGRICULTURAL: NEWS WOULD CHANGE RATES ON POTA- TOES. USPENSION of the new potato tar- iff which increased the rates from Wisconsin and Minnesota and gave Michigan potato shippers a better deal on shipments to such points as Cin- cinnati has been ordered by the Inter- state Commerce Commission, accord- . ing to the State Farm Bureau Traffic Department. The tariff, intended to become effective August 25, has been postpon'ed to December 23, 1921. In the meantime date for a hearing will be set. The Farm Bureau Traffic De‘ partment will be present to protect shippers in this state. FACTORS AFFECTING PRICES. HAIRMAN Sydney Anderson, of Joint. Commission of Agricultural Inquiry, concludes that “putting profit- eers in jail will not solve the problem of the high cost of living. The con- sumer’s price is a composite of thou- sands of prices. Prices would not be much reduced by taking ten, or even fifty per cent off the profits of the re- tailer, the wholesaler or producer. Something must come off of each of the thousands of costs of materials and seivices that go to make the price the consumer pays. Farmeis I meet in Washington are inclined to the belief that if Chair- man Anderson’s remarks represent the conclusions of the agricultural in- quiry commi‘Ssion it has failed in its efforts to solve the mystery of the Wide spread between what the pro- ducer receives and the consumer pays. They are of the opinion that cutting the profits of the retailer who charges from $1.50 to $2.00 for a commodity that costs him less than $1.00, to the extent of fifty per cent would mean quite a reduction in prices to the con- sumer or a very agreeable addition to the price received by the producer. All agree, however, that one essential is .to add a a better understanding on the part of everybody concerned of the problem itself, and a keener appreciation of his relation to that problem. FARM BUREAU TO SELL CERTI- FIED SEED POTATOES. HIRTY5FOUR out of thirty«five producers of certified seed pota- toes, members of the Michigan Potato Producers’ Association favored the Michigan State Farm Bureau seed de- partment as a sales representative. The seed department is now preparing seed potato distributing branch to its activities an wiTl market the seed potatoes. Bankers have placed the farm bu- reau seed department on their most favored list because of the business- like and prompt manner in which the department has discharged its obliga- tions. Accordingly the department has been enabled to increase its ware- house advances on high quality seed to within a dollar or two of the market in many instances. Farm bureau growers in one entire county are consigning their salable seed. During the fall season rush for seed, now about over, the farm bureau seed department handled for members about 800,000 pounds of seed in a pe- riod of a few weeks. N EAR-EAST RELIEF CAMPAIGN. NDORSEMENT of the Michigan Near-East Relief Campaign was contained in a resolution and a motion adopted September 13 by the Michigan State Farm Bureau Executive Com- mittee at its monthly meeting. The Near-East relief drive was scheduled to be started in this state about mid-September. Nationally' a campaign is planned for five and one‘ half million bushels of grain for the starving people of Armenia and Asia Minor, who are still suffering from the ravages of the World War and perse- cution by the Turks. A new factor in the present GreceTurk war has added to their misery. The Near-East Relief committee first faces the problem of saving 160,000 children from starva- tion. Michigan’s quota in the drive is 100,000 bushels of grain. All farm or- ' ganizations have been asked to assist in the drive. The State Farm Bureau’s endorsement and appeal to its mem- bers is addressed to its local units, and follows: “Whereas, the executive committee of the Michigan State Farb Bureau recognizes that the Near-East Relief campaign is a most worthy cause and merits the support of our members and of the farmers in Michigan, be it re- solved: “That the executive committee in meeting assembled in Lansing, Sep tember 13, 1921, hereby endorses the Near—East Relief campaign and re- quests the local cooperative organiza- tions and County Farm Bureaus of the state to recommend that their mem- bers contribute such sums of money, grain or produce as their circum- stances may permit, the cooperative organizations and the community farm, bureaus to act as local agencies and to cooperate with their respective county farm bureaus in this cam~ paign.” The Michigan campaign is to be un- der the guidance of James J. Spillane, of Detroit, Michigan director of Near- East Relief. Prominent representa- tives of all the farmer organizations in the state are to be active in putting the campaign across. POTATO SEASON OPENS EARLY. HE potato shipping season at Greenville and Cadillac opened three weeks early this year, chiefly as a result of the unprecedented demand for tubers and a generally advanced season. Op’ening‘ prices were slightly, under expectations due to the offer‘ ings being green and shippers fearing the vegetable would heat en route when shipped in carlots. As riper\po- tatoes began to move and orders con tinued to pile up, buyers advanced their bids to encourage growers to dig. DAIRYING WILL ADVANCE. OY POT'I‘S, specialist in marketa mg, of the dairy division of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, commenting on the dairy situa- tion, said that if he were to predict the future of dai‘rying he would place it on a somewhat higher range than that of general farm conditions. The dairy industry is more stable than other farm activities. Farmers are unable to expand or restrict their dairy operations as readily or as quickly,as with some other lines of farming. It is not affected to so great an extent by foreign market conditions, and there is certain to be a steadily in- creasing demand for dairy products in this country: The cities are destined to consume larger quantities of milk . as the nutritive and' health-giving qualities of liquid milk become better understood by the average city resi- dent.

This crop has occupied the central place in the rota- tions followed by Mr. Johnson for the past fourteen years. The plant is grown for seed, as a. source of protein for the feeding of hogs, for silage and for hay. Seeking to demonstrate that a,grain term can be profitably maintained without the use of stable manure, Mr. ‘ Johnson has followed rotations which grow- a legume on every field every season. Where the ‘ soy-beans are grown for seed the rotation consists of soy-beans, soy—beans. wheat or oats, sweet clover and corn. On one field where corn is growing which promises a yield of one hundred bushels per acre, the rotation is soy-beans, soy- beans and corn. Fertilizer is used generously, at least eight hundred pounds of acid phosphate per acre be- ing. applied in each rotation. After ten years’ experience in the 'uSe of soy-beans for hogs Mr. Johnson states that an acre of soys, and six acres of corn is superior as a hog feed to nine acres of corn alone. He plants the corn and beans separately be- cause of convenience in planting and in cultivating. The variety which will ripen when the corn is ready to hog 'down should be used, since the hogs eat the ripened pods first. In one field five varieties were planted to demon: strate which are best suited to the lat- itude of Williams county for hogging down purposes. These varieties were: Manchu, Eltop, Black Eyebrow, Mam- moth Yellow and Ito San. The Man- chu seemed to be in the best condition While the Ito San and the Black Eye- brow followed closely. The other va- rieties were .still very green, their growing season being longer than the average corn-growing season of this latitude. _ Hogs are taught to eat soy-beans by confining them to the lots for a few days and feeding them nothing but beans, They are‘then turned into the beans and corn and the results have shown that no time is lost by the ani- mals in getting started in pork produc- tion. The average acre of corn and soy-beans will support ten hogs for two months and good animals will make a daily gain of two pounds on this feed; hence an average acre is good for six hundred pounds of pork. Cultural Methods. On this farm the grain drill is used for planting. Holes are plugged to make the rows tWenty-one inches The corn planter may also be used at regular width which makes the rows too wide apart, or making the rows just half the regular width by straddling one row every second time across. The latter method is ob- jectionable because the width of the rows is not uniform and therefore un- suited to the ordinary bean or beet cultivators. Three types of cultivators are used —-a four-row beet cultivator with knife blades attached instead of the regular shovels; a. two-row cultivator and a. single row plow. Mr. Johnson believes that deep cultivation for beans is a mistake as the bean roots spread to the center of the space between the rows and keep close to the surface. One field on this farm grew soy-beans which had been planted on July 15 this year > after wheat which yielded forty-five bushels to .the acre had been harvested from the ground These for September ‘20 ins ., men Is A‘- N ‘ F A R M .E R Domg Honor to Soy-beans Study T lzz: Pramzng Crop next shown and here the real lesson of the conference was learned. These varieties were of all sizes and shapes and from all sections of the country, from Louisiana to Minnesota. W. J. Morse, the soy-bean expert of the United States Department of Ag- riculture, said that many varieties were sold in Ohio that required a long- er growing season than conditions in Ohio would permit. For the Ohio av- erage growing season of 115 days the «following varieties, in the order of their ripening, were the most valua- ble: Ito San and Black Eyebrow, Manchu, Elton, and Medium Green. The Manchu is perhaps the best all- around bean, although others have theirmadvocates. ’ The Medium Green makes beautiful hay but the seeds shatter badly, making it difficult to se— cure the seed. It also makes a fine silage bean. One of the most interesting things shown was the Hahto soy-bean, which is being developed by the United States Department of Agriculture as a possibility for human consumption. It resembles the lima bean in appear- ance and is similar to the soy-beans used by religious cults and sanatori- ums. The Chinese and Japanese have also used similar beans quite exten- sively and as they are a great source of protein they are destined to great use in America. Beans for Silage. In the demonstration was a field which was partly plowed in spring and partly in fall. The difference was plain and greatly in favor of the fall-plowed ground. Another point in culture was brought out in the number of cultivations giv- en the beans. One patch had received no cultivation, while still another was given two cultivations. The difference here was plainly discernible and Mr. Johnson drove the lesson home by ad- «ding that he considered cultivation just as essential -to the growth and well-being of the soy-bean crop as to a corn crop. At the demonstration of corn and beans for silage seven varieties were shown growing in the corn. These were the Mammoth Yellow, the Medi um Green, the Elton, the Indiana Hol- lybrook /or' Northern Medium Yellow, the Meyer, the‘Virginia and the John- son 4. was the best variety for silage, though Medium Green and the Meyer possibly showed up the best. The Mammoth Yellow also gave a mighty nice show- ing but J. F. Cox, chief of the crops work in Michigan, produced some fig- ures showing that..despite its deceiving appearance the Mammoth Yellow real- ly produced less tonnage than some of the other standard and more highly recommended varieties. The Johnson 4, selection made by the, Johnson Seed Farms from the Wilson 5, was shown here, not at its best because of a wind- storm, but it showed a nice fineness of quality and good weight of green material. Other~ features inspected were the annual sweet clover patch which had produced just the week before the con- ference a yield of about eight bushels per acre; sweet clover as a cover crop following wheat in contrast with rag- weed, etc., and the completion of the soy—bean harvesting operations, such as mowing, raking, loading and thresh- » Ing.

The office during'the fall and winter. and market reportssince have been mailed to all producing and shipping points in western and northern Mich- igan.

ITHER a third hatching of codling moth-s or failure to give the last spray early enough is causing apple growers in western Michigan to suffer huge losses this fall. From fifty to seventy-five per cent of the apples in many of the orchards are found to be infested with worms and the growers are selling them at prices ranging from fifty to sixty per cent less than those bid for No. 1 fruit. Fruit growers are astonished at the situation. They are inclined to believe their trouble lies in a third crop of moths as the season has been fully a month earlier than usual, and the weather in August was favorable for the hatching of the larvae. Many of the farmers were unaware of the dam age being done until the fruit began to drop. Some of the growers believe that if they had sprayed every two weeks throughout August they might have been able to save their apples. Harvest of winter varieties was com— menced in several western Michigan orchards last week. and shipping got well under way this week. Buyers who have contracted whole orchards have been paying $300 and upward for A—l fruit. One storage firm in Grand Rap- ids is taking all apples offered at this price. One Chicago buyer is reported to have purchased 100,000 barrels on this basis. Many apples are going into cold storage in Grand Rapids for dis- tribution during winter and spring.—-—R. CLOVERLAND A MARKET FOR FRUIT. OWER peninsula farmers who may desire to market their apples and other fruit in the upper peninsula this fall, should plan their shipments with some care. There are a goodly num- ber of sizeable towns in the district, with populations running from 5,000 to 15,000, which are worth while as mar— kets for such products. These include Ironwood, VVatkefield and Bessemer at the extreme west of the‘peninsula; Houghton, Hancock, Lake Linden and Calumet in the copper country; Me- nominee, Iron River, Crystal Falls and Iron Mountain, near the Wisconsin boundary, with Escanaba, Gladstone and Manistique on the Lake Michigan shore; Marquette, IShpeming, Negau- nee and L’Anse on or near the Lake Superior shore; and Newberry, St. Ig- nace and Sault Ste. Marie in the east- All have excellent rail connections with lower Michigan, by the Frankfort and Mackinac car fer- ries, so that carlots can come through _ in a few days. W'hile business is dull ”supposed that the purchasing paw , . auto of the people has vanished. One south- ern Michigan farmer who personally disposed of a carload of apples last' fall, intends, I understand, to double his shipment this year. His first ven- ture was pretty profitable. While our local apple orchards are making a re- markable showing of fruit, they are not extensive and there will be a good demand for outside shipments—C. Memory Day .

I can’t get clever or alfalfa to start ‘on my soil. The soil is rather light s‘and. Would like ”to know what I should“ do to get clover and alfalfa to grow. Can alfalfa and clover be sown in the fall with rye?—S. H. Sandy ‘land is quite apt to be de- ficient in lime and therefore it usually has an acid reaction. In other words, your soil is so sour or acid that the young clover cannot live. If you have this condition, which can be determin- ed by the litmus paper test or the hy- drochloric acid test, then the“ only thing on earth that will remedy the condition is the use of lime. This acid in the soil must be neutralized or the clover or the alfalfa will not grow. If the soil is quite acid, you ought to ap- ply as much as two tons of ground limestone per acre and work it thor- oughly into the surface soil. _Plow the land"before you apply the lime. Do not plow lime down. Sandy land is also quite apt to be deficient in phosphoric acid, then acid phosphate must be applied. I know of no land in Michigan that won’t grow clover if it contains a fair percentage of carbonate of .lime and also phos- phorous. If you apply the lime and the phosphorous and get a stand of clover, then you have just begun to improve this land so that it will pro- duce profitable crops. All sandy soil needs is a good supply of organic mat- ter. Of course, you can harvest the clover for hay and still improve the —land, because the soil is full of clover roots which adds a good percentage of Organib matter to the soil. If you would plow all of the clover down you would add more organic matter and would permanently improve the land sooner but, of course, it is quite ex- pensive to grow a crop and then re- ceive no benefit from it only in the improvement of the land. Most farm- ers need the crops which they produce for their living and expenses.’ It may be that just the added lime and phos- phorou§\and the clover roots would put‘the land in such condition that it would grow a profitable crop of pota- toes or some other crop. This can only be determined by experience. '4 C. C. L. STATUTE OF FRAUDS—REOORD- ING ACTS.

R. R. u BEAN WEEVILS. Please advise me what causes beans to get bugs in them, and what be- comes of the bugs after they come out of the beans? At what satge are these eggs laid in the beans? If the beans were carefully picked over and heated would the good ones become bug-re- sisting? Is there anything that can be done to stop these bugs after they once get into a’ bunch of beans ?—I. B. The insect with which you are hav- ing trouble is the bean weevil, an insect quite common in beans. In the spring the weevils deposit the eggs in the bean pods and the growing grubs live in the beans themselves. They often stay and in early spring emerge as a beetle to start again with the egg—laying process. With peas there are two methods of weevil control, one is to hold the seed over for a year and the other is to use fumigation with carbon-bisulphid; but with beans the keeping over of the seed isof no. value so theonly means of control we have is the fumigation. The best way to do this fumigation is to put the beans in a box that is as air-tight as possible, and then use car- bon—bisulphid at the rate of five pounds to each thousand cubic feet of space in the box. Sprinkle the carbon-bisul- phid over the beans and then close the box and, if possible, cover tightly with the gas-proof tarpaulin. The fumigation should continue for at least twenty-four hours.

Kiréy . there is a chance of bringing in many facts and theories about line- breeding and in—breeding that are of- ten confusing to the owner of a farm flock. It is the policy among many farm poultry breeders to change cock- erels every year. This is done because the owners do not have time to keep breeding records. .The birds are man- aged all in one free‘ range flock and the system of changing cockerels fre- quently has seemed the best and eas- iest way of keeping up the vigor of the birds. ' ' The reason that line- breeding is so frequently advised for poultry breed- crs is because this haphazard method of changing cockerels every year has not often produced the best results. It is true that many poultry fanciers ill- breed to fix certain qualities that they wish to appear in their flocks. But they do not inbl'eed carelessly. They keep careful records and study their birds so by this inbreeding they improve the points that are strong and bolster up points that are weak. They also take great care to use only stock of great vigor. . In this way the breeder develops a strain. But careless inbreeding of a farm flock results in making weak points still weaker. Soon the flock lacks in vigor and as no breeding rec- ords are maintained the owner does not know how to make for good re- sults. Then the best method is to ob- tain new cockerels from a breeder with a goOd flock and these cockerels will help to stamp the progeny with more quality than the flock has pos- sessed. If a poultryman wished to keep rec- ords and use line breeding he could purchase one cockerel and one pullet of fine quality and then never have to introduce new blood into the flock. The pullets raised the first year would be mated back to the cock bird and one of the best cockerels mated back to the hen. This is continued until the poultryman has two families, one of them containing the blood of the first cockerel purchased and the other the blood of the first pulle-t. But I do not believe the farm poultry owner has time to carry on these careful breed— ing operations. It is all right to say that the farm poultry breeders should do everything scientifically correct in breeding their poultry but the business takes a lot of time. Too frequently the farmer is overworked in the field and his wife overworked in the house. It means that there is little time for the special care needed for scientific poultry breeding. In this case I believe that the poultry specialists can do the care— ful breeding and furnish the seed stock for the vast number of farm flocks which need vigorous birds from bred- to-lay strains for the production of meat and eggs. 1N discussing breeding cockerels Here would be my plan for manag- ing a. farm flock as far as cockerels are concerned. I would buy hatching eggs or cockerels from a breeder of a bred-to—lay strain. I would only keep the best cockerels. Then they could be used one year and possibly two years. The best of their offspring could be used for another year or two. If the farm flock was large there would not be any great danger of too much inbreeding. I would select only the best cockerels and try to increase the ivigor of the flock. After a few years if I had a chance to buy better cock- erels of finer type for the breed and from véry high-producing hens, I would try at least one of them. I might try to keep some records for this farm flock but if I was overworked and had 111: Men del’s law or line-breeding or inbreed- ing, especially if I was only producing poultry for meat and eggs and there were many poultrymen with fine seed stock for sale to improve the flock. I feel that there are two kinds of ‘ poultrymen. One is the Specialist. The other is the farm poultry owner with too much work to do to be a. poultry specialist. An article that is practical for one class may not be use- ‘ful to the. other. In making a, better farm flock belsure that new cockerels are really an improvement over the ones you have. If you are breeding a. bred-to-lay strain it will often pay to stick to that strain. If you wish to produce exhibition birds it will pay to stick to a strain of exhibition birds. Sometimes both qualities" can ,be com- bined and that combination is a most worthy aim. But do not buy first an exhibition cockerel and then the next year try a bird from a two-hundred- egg hen and the next year buy an un- known bird just because it looks good. That results in the haphazard breed- ing which does not help the breeder to progress. In poultry breeding both with a, farm flock and a. specialists flock, it is necessary to have an aim. That much can be done even on the busy farm where there is not much time to devote to the poultry.‘ The writer’s views on poultry breed- ing may not agree with some of our very skilled breeders of fancy poultry who often seem to think that nothing can be done without line—breeding. But on the farm poultry breeding is a. slightly different proposition and some— times a lot of good work can be done with a farm flock by purchasing good cockerels and raising good pullets. Then better and more expensive cock« erels can be purchased later to make a further improvement. By occasion- ally purchasing this good seed stock the farmer poultry breeder can keep up his flock with a. minimum of effort. PTOMAINE POISONING. Would you please tell me the trou‘ ble with my hens, and the cure ?. Their combs turn black first, and then the whole head. They droop for a few days or a. week and then die—J. E. 1-1. When the combs and the heads of chickens get black, it is due either to ptomainve poisoning or liver trouble. Ptomaine poisoning is caused by the hens eating spoiled food. A common symptom of it is that the birds are unsteady in walking, because of the partial paralysis of the muscles. In some cases diarrhea, is present, the discharge occasionally being bloody.Il.’ the trouble is recognized in time, the bird should be given a teaspoon full of castor oil, which should be followed with sulphate of stl'ychnine in. doses of one-fifth grain every five hours. The only way that you can tell whether the trouble is from the liver or not is by post-morten examination. Open one of the birdsgthat has died and examine the liver. If it is larger or smaller than normal, appears to be congested with blood, or appears to be marbled or spotted, you may feel sure that the trouble is some form of liver disease. The only treatment that can be sug- gested for liver trouble is a. change of diet. Give the chickens, less corn and nitrogenous food and more green stuff. The birds should also be compelled to exercise. ~ Very often when liver trouble has been established in a. flock, it is ad- visable to get rid of the old flock and start anew. ' Hens, stop laying when they start, moulting. Those that moultefirstéitart laying last. ' “ ' ‘ for is, -, THE U. S.

'few lost minutes from hour to hour as, now well past the middle of the state, it sped on~ across the flatter country in its approach to the moun- tains, proceeded monotonously through the ' afternoon. Eaton watched the chill of, the snow battle against the warmth of the double windows on the windward side of the car, until finally it conquered and the windows became ——as he knew the rest of the outside of the cars must have been long before —merely a wall of white. The coat- ing, thickening steadily with the in- creasing severity of the storm as they approached the Rockies, dimmed the afternoon daylight Within the car to dusk. Presently all became black outside the windows, and the passengers from the rear cars filed forward to the din- ing car and then back to their places again. Eaton took care to avoid the Dome party in the diner. Soon the porter began making up the berths to be occupied that night; but as yet no one was retiring. The train was to reach Spokane late in the evening; there would be a stop there for half an hour; and after the long day on the train, every one seemed to be waiting for a walk about the station before going to bed. But as the train slowed, and with a sudden diminishing of the clatter of the fishplates under its Wheels and of the puffings of exhaust- ed steam, slipped into the lighted trainsheds at the city, Eaton sat for some fininutes in thought. Then he dragged his overcoat down from its hook, buttoned it tightly about his throat, pulled his traveling cap down on his head and left the car. All along the train, vestibule doors of the Puli- mans had been opened, and the pas- sengers were getting out, while a few others, snow-covered and with 'hand- luggage, came to board the train. Eat- on, turning to survey the sleet—shroud- ed car he had left, found himself face to face with Miss Dorne, restanding alOne upon the station platform. Her piquant, beautiful face was half hidden in the collar cf the great fur coat she had worn on boarding the train, and her cheeks were ruddy with the bite of the crisp air. “You see before you a castaway,” she volunteered, smiling. He felt it necessary to take the same tone. “A castaway” he questioned. “Cast away by whom?” “By Mr. Avery, if you must know, though your implication that anybody should have cast me away—anybody at all, Mr. Eaton——is unpleasant.” w- so:asmmmmms«3:3::zmessage‘s:mmzzosmxzz-mzzzzzzmsxmxxmwm: '1 ~ ~ TH BLI- D MAN’S o «no.

Five passengers get on: Mr. Dome and his daughter Harriet, a man named Avery. an Englishman, anda ybung man call- ing himself Philip D. Eaton. Mr. Dorne makes himself known to Connery by the card referred to, and Miss Dorne . “There was no implication; it was simply inquiry.” “You should have put it, then, in some other form; you should have ask- ed how I came to be in so surprising a position.” “ ‘How,’ in this part of the country, Miss Dorne, is not regarded as a ques- tion, but merely as a form of saluta- tion,” he bantered. “It was formerly employed by the Indian aborigines in- habiting these parts, who exchanged ‘How’s’ when passing each other on the road. If I had said ‘How,’ you might have replied ‘How,’ and I should have been under the necessity of con- sidering the incident closed.” _ She laughed. “You do not wish it to be closed. “Not till I know more about it." “Very well; you shall know more. Mr. Avery brought me out to take a walk. He remembered, after bringing me as far as this, that we had not ask— ed my father whether he had any mes- sage to be sent from here or any com- mission to execute; so he went back to find out. I have not waited so many minutes that I feel sure it is my father who has detained him. The imper- fectly concealed meaning of what I am telling you is that I consider that Mr. Avery, by his delay, has forfeited his right. The further implication— for I do imply things, Mr. Eaton—is that you cannot very well avoid offer- ing to take the post of duty he has abandoned.” “You mean walk with you?” “I do.” He slipped his hand inside her arm, sustaining her slight, active body. against the wind which blew strongly through the station and scattered over them snow—flakes blown from the roofs of the cars, as they walked forward along the train. Her manner had told him that she meant to ignore her re- sentment of the morning, but as, turn« ing, they commenced to walk briskly up and down the platform, he found he was not Wholly right in this. “You must admit, Mr. Eaton, that I am treating you very well.” “In pardoning an offense Where no offense was meant?” “lt is partly that—that I realized no offense was meant.

Persons of that sort do not admit themselves to be such; and if I have lived for twen—I shall not tell you just how many years ——the sort of life I have been obliged to live almost since I was born, with. out learning to judge men in that re- spect, I must have failed to use my Opportunities.” “Thank you,” he returned quietly; then, as he recollected his instinctive prejudice against Avery: “However, I am not so sure.” She plainly waited for him to go on, but he pretended to be concerned wholly with guiding her along the plat- form. “Mr. Eaton!” - “Yes.” “Do you know that you are a most peculiar man?” “Exactly in what way, Miss Dorne ?” “In this: The ordinary man, when a woman shows any curiosity about himself, answers with a fullness and particularity and eagerness which seems to say, ‘At last you have found a subject which interests me!”’ “Does he?” , “Is that the only reply you care to make?” “I can think of none more ade- quate.” “Meaning that after my altogether too open display of curiosity regarding you, I can still do nothing better than guess, without any expectation that you, on your part, will deign to tell me whether I am right or wrong. Very well; my first guess is that you have not done much walking with young women on station platforms—certainly not much of late.” “I’ll try to do better, if you’ll tell me how you know that?” “You‘do very well.

What I know is diVined from the exceedingly odd and reminiscent way in which you look at all things about you—at this train, this station, the people who pass.” ' “You find nothing reminiscent, I supa pose, in the way I look at you?" “You do yourself injustice. You do not look at me at all, so I cannot tell; but there could hardly be any reminis- cence extending. beyond this morning, since you never saw me before then.” “No; this is all fresh experience.” “I hope it is not displeasing. My doubt concerning your evidently rath- er long absence abroad is as to wheth- er you went away to get or to forget.” “I’m afraid I don’t quite underu stand.” “Those are the two reasons for which young men go to Asia, are they not?—to get something or toforget something. At least, so I have been given to understand. Shall I go on?" “Go on guessing, you mean? I don’t seem able to prevent it.” , “Then my third guess is this—and you know no one is ever allowed more than three guesses.” She hebitated; when she went on,- she had entirely dropped her tone of banter. “I guess, Mr. Eaton, that you have been-I think, are still—going through some terrible experience which has endured for a.very long time—perhaps even for years—and has nearly made of you and perhaps even yet may make of you something far different and—«and something far less pleasing than you—« you must have been before. There! I have transcended all bounds, said everything I should not have said, and left unsaid all the conventional things which are all that our short acquaint- ance could have'allowed. Forgive me —because I’m not sorry.” He made no answer. They walked as far as the rear of the train, turned and came back before she spoke again: “What is it they are doing to the . front of our train, Mr. Eaton?” He looked. “They are putting aplow on the engine.” “Oh!” - “That seems to be only the ordinary push-plow, but if” what I have been overhearing is correct, the railroad people are preparing to give you one of the minor exhibitions of that every- day courage of which you spoke this morning, Miss Dorne.” “In what particular way?” “When we get across the Idaho line and into the mountains, you are to “By Frank R.

Was it her friendship she had been offering him? Men use badinage without respect to what their actual feelings may be; women—some mem- ory from the past in which he had known such girls as this, seemed to recall—use it most frequently when their feelings, consciously or uncon- sciously, are drawingtoward a man. Eaton naw went into the men’s com- partment of his car, where he sat smoking till after the train was under ’way again. The porter looked in upon him there to ask if he wished his birth made up now; Eaton, nodded aSSent, and fifteen minutes later, dropping the cold end of his cigar and going out into the car, he found the berth ready for him. “D. S.’s” section, also made up but with the curtails folded back displaying the bedding within, was un- occupied; jerkings of the curtains, and voices and giggling in the two berths at the end of the car, showed that Amy and Constance were getting into bed; the Englishman was wide awake in plain determination not to go to ‘bed until his accustomed Nottingham 1101\1‘. Eaton, drawing his curtains together and buttoning them from the inside, undressed and went to bed. A half hour later the passage of some one through the aisle and the sudden dim- ming of the crack. of light which show- ed above the curtains told him that the lights in the car had been turned down. Eaton closed his eyes, but sleep was far from him. Presently he began to feel the train beginning to labor with the increasing grade and the deepening snow. It was well across the state line and into Idaho; it was nearing the mountains, and the weather'was getting colder and the storm more severe. Eaton lift- ed the curtain l‘rom the window beside him and leaned on one elbow to look out. The train was running through a bleak, white..desolation; no light and no sign of habitation showed any- where. Eaton lay staring out, and now the bleak world about him seem- ed to assume toward him a cruel and merciless aspect. The. events of the day ran through'his mind again with sinister suggestion. He had taken that train for a certain definite, dangerous purpose which required. his remaining as obscure‘and as inconspicuous as possible; yet already he had been sin— gled out for attention. So far, he was sure, he had received no more than that—attention, curiosity concerning him. He had not suffered recognition; but that might come at any moment. Could he risk longer waiting to act? I—Ie dropped on his back on the bed and lay with his hands clasped under his head, his eyes staring up at the roof Of the car. , (Continued next week).

Woman’s < Interests The Farm Women of Canada " HE new attitude of women in general towards the land and in the desire so many of them evince to get back tothe out-o’-doors life, has been very noticeable since the conclusion of the war. The past two summers hundreds of women and girls have flocked to the farming dis- tricts and toil in the open air, and this has been attended with the most gratifying success. The Canadian De- partment of Labor and other organiza- tions have been literally besieged with inquiries from women and girls who desire work on the farms, not in a do- mestic capacity but in the open of the fields. Women took up practically every every phase of man’s work during the war and in the majority of cases car- ried it out as well as her brother. When the termination of hostilities in- evitably relegated many of them to their former lives and environment, it was a hard matter to take up the old threads, and little wonder that many of them, seeing their own land limited in opportunity, and overcrowd- ed, looked across the seas to fresh green pastures awaiting the develop- ment of human hands and minds. Since the signing of the armistice, —‘ Do you discriminate at the dining table—or are ‘ you In thousands of homes, a “line” is drawn at the breakfast table. Tea or coffee is served for “grown-ups” and Postum for children. But some parents do {gt discrimin- ate. Caffeine and tannin, the injurious contents of coffee and tea, seriously retard the development of the delicate nerve tissues in children. - Consequently, instead of rich, satisfying Postum, children are over stimu- lated by the drugs in tea and coffee; and so may grow up irritable and nervous. Any doctorcan tell you that this is a great evil and should be corrected. Although some par- ents feel a certain justifi- cation for the personal indulgence in coffee, yet the harm to them may be equally serious.

The surest way to avoid such pos- sibilities is to quit coffee entirely and drink Postum instead. The change per- mits you to get sound, restful sleep.

Gage with the demobilization of the army, or more correctly, since the availabil- ity of transport after the return of the Canadian troops, women from the British Isles and elsewhere have crowded the steamers arriving at Can- adian ports, and thousands have made the trip via New York, rather than wait.months for a 'St. Johns or Halifax boat. Many were war brides but the greater number consisted of those for .whom war employment had gone with the return of the, men from the front and who, finding themselves belonging to a class of two million superfluous women, decided to start out anew in a. ‘virgin field where their efforts were not only obviously needed but urgent- ly sought. This mOVement continues unabated and every steamer sees parties of fresh-checked English women arriving. under government auspices to find homes in every part of Canada. Many of them belonged to various batallions of the women’s army, many are expe- rienced land workers, others followed pursuits purely feminine. Groups are bound for domestic service, others to fruit sections for light land work, and still others, with limited capital, are taking up small pieces of land for themselves. Groups of women go straight‘ from the boat to linen mills and other factories, being engaged in the old land and brought out by the management of these industries. It is a burning question in the older countries just what opportunities await women and girls in America, es- pecially in Canada, where an organ ized effort is being put on to secure this class of immigrants, much need- In Canada the sexes are more nearly balanced, which ofiers a more expansive field to women. . - No tribute is too great or worthy which can be paid to the pioneer wives and mothers of the Canadian agricultural regions, but as a general rule agriculture is carried out on too large and expensive at scale for women to take any but a supplementary part. It, is not uncommon to see a farmer’s wife driving a binder. at harvest .while vyf‘x. her 11,115th is :on an wcgmpaa 9 .. n cuts, but this is occasional and the wife of the modern farmer finds her time well occupied in her household,» duties, her poultry and her superind tendence of the dairying. ~ There are to be found, however, a few insta'nces in which women (in one case a former successful London jour- nalist), make a decided sucéess oper- ating a; grain or mixed farm. This- however,‘ presupposes a good deal of capital to initiate the enterprise, and such cases are fiery few.

Here they have taken four quarter sections, in the middle of which a cabin has been erected, and have commenced their operations with the utmost confidence of success. However, such cases are exceptional, and woman’s place on the large farms of the western country is usually as a helpmate to linen, in which it must be said, there are thou- sands of openings. The gentler phases of farming ap- peal to women, especially the robust, sturdy out-of—doors type, and this mode of livelihood is particularly appealing to those girls who worked on the land during the war, and in_ the experience they gained learned to love the free, untramelled life. ' In British Columbia, especially in the settled fruit areas, many women are operating small orchards or fruit farms and doing all the work entailed themselves. In the same districts, near industrial centers, many women are finding poultry raising a profitable means of‘ livelihood and a calling which does not overtax their physical strength. Still others find a source of healthy revenue in beekeeping. In the Niagara peninsula and other fruit districts of Ontario the same conditions prevail and here women‘ are to be found wresting a living in in' the pleasantest environmenu. and ‘working conditions easily yielding soil. , Each migration rm“ the 9 ' ‘Wf‘x’ «w, . , Lprovince: «some. and girls or every} .

In fact, the pfesiding- officer of the British Columbia parliament is ndne other than a woman, possibly the first in the entire British Empire to occupy this stately and important po- sition. Indications are that girls are becom- ing more and more attracted to the active side of: farm life, and it is sig- nificant to note that the 1920 gradu~ ating class at the Ontario Agricultural College included the first woman in Canada to take the degree of Bachelor of Scientific Agriculture. RURAL EDUCATIONAL HAN Dil- CAPS. HILDREN of rural schools have not the educational advantages open to those of the city, according to the findings of the national depart— ments of rural education and educa- tional administration, recently held at Columbia University. Professor Mabel Carney, oFColumbia, presents the fol- lowing arraignment of rural schools: “The average county superintendent supervises 132 teachers, scattered ov- er a territOry of 555 square miles,” said Professor Carney. “These teach- ers have the least training ofany teachers in the country, over half of: them being not even high school grad- uates and all having to teach “eight grades instead of one as in the city. And eighty-two per cent of the county superintendents have no assistants of any kind, not even a ;stenographer.” The county school child is at a great disadvantage in comparison with the city trained child, according to Pro- fessor Carney. “Almost half the school children of the United States attend one and two teacher rural school,” the professor added. “Their term aver- ages 137 days a year, as against 184 days a year for city children. “The children’s bureau in Washing- ton estimates that 1,500,000 country children are engaged in farm labor to their detriment and kept out of school. For this reason illiteracy is twice as great in rural as in urban territory. “Forty—eight per cent of country children have detective teeth, but only thirty-three per cent of city children are so neglected. Twenty-eight per cent of country children have had ton- sils removed, and twenty-three per cent adenoids, while urban figures for the same handicaps are sixteen per cent and twelve per cent. In ear de- fects country children are four times worse than city children, while eye defects run twenty-three per cent for rural children and only twelve per cent for urban, ‘ “The most apparent lack of rural schools during the last few years has been the shortage of rural teachers. In September, 1920,’there was an ac- tual shortage of 18,000 teachers. Of the 300,000,1‘ural teachers, 150,000 have not completed a four-year high school course; 30,000 have finished only seven or eight grades of the elementary school. About 100,000 have had no professional preparation Whatever, while less than two per cent are nor- mal school graduates and only one- tenth of one per cent have had any special rural training. “The salary situation explains most of this,-..as forty per cent of. the rural teachers receive less than $600 per year, twenty—four per cent less than $500, and eleven per cent less than $400. In the United States as a. Whole the educational expenditure for each city child is $40; for each rural child -» ibis. $.24}? ‘ . . . . . wot; _ ‘, g 3' . uSt LikeSelecting aGood Milker f\\\\ \\\\\\\ \}.h E “-1" n .- ._. ti 4 I A t ~.~.'

The disposition to fight seems to be in us by nature, and it clings to most people even after they get to be men. If we can’t indulge this passion any other way we will get up“ sham battles and go through all the motionsof a. real combat. When they were training to be soldiers in the great war our boys were called upon to wage many a battle of this kind. Let us think for a. moment of an- other kind of a battle which every man, woman and child in all this world is compelled first or last to carry‘on. I was thinking of this when a few Healthful Recreation Helps O‘ne minutes ago I was reading a scrap taken from the official records of the congress of our country. They talk about some queer things in this body of statesmen. Not so very long ago these sedate gentlemen got to discuss ing chewing gum. From that it was but a step to the use of tobacco; and in the course of the debate one of the members said in speaking of the diffi- culty of stopping the use of this weed after it is once well fixed: - “I have tried many a. time to stop the use of tobacco. I have found, as far as my health or happiness is con- cerned, that it is an impossibility with me.” This distinguished man, elected to represent the people in the highest law-making body in the United States. confessed that he is a. slave to the use of tobacco. He would be terribly in~ censed if any of his fellow countrymen should make him a prisoner even for one day, shutting him up away from his business as a legislator. And yet, he has put chains upon his own life, according to his own admission, which he cannot break. Every time he fights a battle with this enemy—for he must consider it an enemy, or why should he want to cast it out of his life—he comes off defeated. If a man ever were a slave he is. And the time will come with every boy, and I may as well say every girl, when he or she will be face to’face and a good many more besides. The question is, will these young folks after repeated efforts to set themselves free be com- pelled to make the pitiable confession that member of congress did? I would like to see one big society of the Michigan Farmer boys and, girls, an association without grips or signs or passwords or dues for membership. If it were left to me, I would call this _, society the Knights ‘of the Eure Heart; and it should be made up of boys and ._., * By V. L. Edgar girls who had pledged themselves nev- er to contract any habit, no matter What, that Would make them slaves such as isthis congressman. It would be one of the finest organizations in the world. For the time to gain the victory of this kind is before it gets its grip fastened upon us. Sooner or later somebody will ask you, if that has not already been done, to do something which will rob you of 'the choicest gift ever given to man, the gift of self control. The question may be avoided for a time, but at last it must be fac- ed. When that time Comes,rremem- bering our allegiance to the society of to Better’ Fight Life’s Battles. Knights of the Pure Heart, we shall easily be able to resist the inclination to do the thing which conscience tells us we ought not to do. Every day we live, yes, before -this very day comes to an end, we will have to measure strength with some such foe. Will our sword break in our hands, or will we be able to say, “I am my own master! I have met this enemy and have rout- ed him for all time!” I wonder how many who read this article would be willing, in his heart of hearts to say, “I pledge myself to be a true and loyal' member of the Knights of the Pure Heart?” That would be the greatest step ever taken. GUINEA PIGS. F a boy truly desires to make some money for himself,\he can generally find a way at some time or other, pro- vided he keeps his eyes open. Some boys do one thing, others do some; * thing entirely different, but I believe all boys enjoy raising some sort of animals. There is a fascination about the growth which every boy enjoys. A boy of my acquaintance has been raising those cunning little guinea. pigs, and has been making a. fair profit from them, with bright prospects for the future._ This lad works for a tele- graph company eight hours during the daytime, and has only a. little time to spend with the guinea pigs each day, but that time he is spending to the best advantage. In every city, and in almost every town there is a. sale-~for the guinea. pigs, both as pets and for laboratory purposes. The lad I speak of started with a capital of four dollars, with which he purchased three guinea. pigs, and now, after a year, he has sold sev- eral dollars worth of them, and has a. dozen on hand. These he will keep until next spring, allowingthem to multiply until that time, and so have a large number to sell in the spring. He has spent about four dollars dur- ing the year for hay, and a little feed, but for the summer months the pigs feed themselves in the: back yard of this boy’s home. The fence has been screened and boarded so they cannot get out, and they have been trained so they will go and come from their own little box homes. Each. pig has its home and knowsywhere it is. During the cold months hay will be procured in large amounts for the pigs to keep them- selves Warm, and also for them to eat, as they are rather fond of hay along with their cabbage leaves and oats. The lad expects to clear several dol- lars in the spring, besides having a. 'nice lot of pigs left over to keep the money coming in.. He has sold some pigs to the shops which deal in pets, receiving for the baby ones about fifty cents each, for the three and four months’ old ones seventy-five cents is the average price. The dealer in turn sells the little ones for one dollar and. the older ones for two and two fifty. As the pigs multiply rapidly, one can figure about what profit would be made with a little time and trouble. It a boy had his entire time to give to the business, he might even make a good paying business and thus have a start in life which all boys crave, that of a business of his own—A. P. M. TO ALL THE LUCKY ONES. Oh, when the wind blows hard and cold In jolly old December, There’s nothing like the feeling of A satisfied club member. There’s nothing like a. cellar full Of apples and potatoes, And canned goods coloring up the shelf Red berries and tomatoes. And if you keep your record neat, , Your story well worked over, You’ll find the truest kind of luck Goes with the four-leaf clover. ——Granite State News. Our Unfinished Dreams '01” [Feat/y Sermonf—By JV. fl. Mchme HE other Sunday morning I went to- church, not to preach, but to listen. The preacher was a distinguished pulpiteer from another state. The moment he began, he had his hearers with him. .It was a big audience, composed oftourists from almost every state in the Union. From climax to climax he led us on, and through one gate to another along a roadway that flamed on either hand with fire from the speaker’s soul. Sud- denly he paused, put his hand to his head, swayed for an instant, and fell backward to the floor. It was a great sermon, but it will remain forever un- finished, for that congregation. On a high bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, there is a lonely village. It is hardly a village any more, for fire has swept through it and left but a few houses standing. Not many years ago it was a lively lumbering region. The big saw mill employed many men and the weekly pay roll was large. It was (and still is) an Indian region. No railroad is near, and the section changes but little from one year to the next. But the chief center of interest for the stranger is he inclosure where once there stood a convent and school. About the middle of the last century a Roman Catsolic priest came there and built the convent and the school, thinking that some day the village would have a large population, and he would have built the foundations for future generations. In this he was mistaken. The village has gone back ward, not forward. Growth has not blest the region. In 1889 the good father died and after that fire destroy- ed the convent and the other build~ ings. Today one enters a field where the grass and the sumach grow, and placid cows graze, and wanders about amidst the ruins. The old cellars are there, and one must look out or he may fall into one. HE grave of the priest is inclosed by a little fence, where the tiger lilies grow. The grave was dug long before the priest died, and he was ac— customed to go down into ‘it daily and meditate on life, death and eternity. Around him are buried the brothers and nuns who were his helpers. The place has a lonely and pathetic air. It is an unrealized dream. The gardens that used to produce so abundantly under the cultivation of the inmates of the nunnery, have given way to grass. The apple orchard still stands, but the trees are in great need of attention. The thick population that the old fath~ er expected to see there, has not come, and probably never will. He did his best, planned for the future as fully as foresight would permit. And yet it is better to dream of great things, than to have no vision. 7 at all. The earnestness of the man who built up the convent has not been altogether lost. No great efforts for human betterment are lost. God is too good a bookkeeper for that. Leaves fall and are lost to sight. Yet as they lie and mold under the trees they form a richer soil for future years. When we adventure for the divine we are on a quest that will never fail. When we invest in God, it is a “sure thing.” Twenty-nine years ago a boy was born in Tasmania, the son of a minister. Winning one of the celebrated Rhodes scholarships, he 'went to Oxford Uni- versity, England. There he became one of the most brilliant medical stud- ents the university has had in recent times. During the war he served as surgeon with the French army and was afterwards the house physician in ~a London hospital. Then he offered .ghiméelfias' a medical missionary and was. sent, by the. London Missionary Society to Hong Kong. He left for his new field this past May. Three weeks after he landed in Hong Kong. he died of pneumonia. Was his life thrown away? Was his dream absolutely un- realized?" That depends on your idea ‘of God. The Christian cannot believe that there is such waste in God’s uni- verse. Somewhere he will find that dream and work at it. His faith, his daring, his love 'of humanity, were not in vain. There are no unrealized dreams in God’s economy. The torn and broken meshes of our plans are all mended in immortality. MUCH has been written of a man who was one of the world’s great adventurers. What no man had'dared, he accomplished. He was the leader of one of the mightiest immigration movements that history records. By his personality, by his unimpeachable character, by his commanding will, and above all, by‘ his simple faith in an overruling providence, he did the im- possible. And yet when Victory was almost in his grasp, he was not per— mitted to taste the fruits of it. Others went on into the Promised Land, but Moses finds a grave on the lonely sum- - mit of a mountain, where the mists rise and fall, and where the. eagles soar. Did Moses fail? Was his dream unrealized? Ask history. Ask the Christian religion. Ask Christ. It would be rash to say that there are no failures. There are thousands of them. When a man works selfishly, with no thought of God, he fails even if he succeeds. There is no success apart from the law of righteousness. “And he spake a certain parable unto them, saying, the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself saying, what shall I do, because I have no room to bestow my fruits? And he said, this will I do: I Will pull down my barns and build greater, and there will I bestow my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul thou hast much good laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou has pro vided? So is he that layeth up treas— ure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” ALL the world has been reciting the praises of the Pilgrim Fathers. In' England last year.there were the most elaborate celebrations, featured with pageants. In America, the whole nation has been writing about the Pur- itans, while the public schools have given Phritan plays. Yet the Puritans were not money-makers. They pitched their pilgrim tents on a barren soil, and in an inhospitable climate. Many of them died of disease. The hopes they had of building a theocracy on earth, were not realized. And yet—— what would America be, if there were no Puritan, no New England blood in her veins? Where would our literature be, without Lowell, Longfellow, Whit- tier and Hawthorne? Where would our policies be without the Adamses, Sum- ner, Webster, Hoar, Silas Wright? What would the history of the church of America be, without Beecher, Bush- nell and Jonathan Edwards? If the Puritans had produced nothing but Edwards and his descendants, all their toil and sacrifice would have been juse tified. There is no failure Where God is in the thought of the actor. Faith is as certain of results, as the stars are of shining. It is more certain. Courage is helped by encouragement. Help others by ,giving it freely. '1 fr MM M 1* CM IMAM - r I . +MnRMEM' .\. 0 179-33 " 9- .1,» r I I MAKE a business of helping young men succeed. Every year thousands come or write to me— ‘ “How can I make more money? ' I want a better job—more pay— a. bigger future. ” Money! Money! More MONEY! Am- bitious men want to advance. Young men want to get started in trades and businesses which pay well. All want to live well—to be happy, prosperous, SUCCESSFUL. “Know how to do some one th1ng well,” I tell them. “Be a trained man. Learn by actually doing, under competent instructors, the ‘work you would like most to do. Become an expert. Then dig in and work hard, save. ‘ ' ,. . (m1?) and be independent, SUCCESSFUL.” But I want you to remember this. Thorough training pays. A Better Chance For Ambitious Men. Fourteen years ago I began helping young men make more money. At Kansas City, Mo., I opened the Rahc Auto and Tractor School. I decided to make it an outstanding institution of learning—*3. place Where ambitious men who do not have time to go to college can prepare for life, at relatively small cost. For I felt that every young man should have a chance for schooling that would directly increase his income. And he should be taught quickly—~in 6 to 8 weeks. The school grew. In all, I have four large buildings at Kansas City. Last year I decided I must further enlarge. Either more floor space at Kansas City, or establish new schools. Why not, I thought, take the Bahe-VVay of Auto and Tractor training hundreds of miles closer to young men who could not come to Kansas City? The idea proved sound. 1 established the Cincinnati school not a branch, but an independent, full-fledged Auto and Tractor School, teaching the famous Rahc-Way. From the day it opened its doors it has been a suc- cess. Hundreds of young men lifive trained there. The new Chicago School has just opened—it is ready now to teach the Rahe-VVay to the thousands of young men in Chicago’s big territory who have wanted for years to equip themselves with this practical training for life. Billions Paid For Motor Upkeep. Three Billion Dollars, it is estimated, will be spent this year on motor upkeep. Few persons realize this—few think of the auto and tractor repair service and the general garage business as one of the largest in the country. Yet it is. And it is steady, stable business. No layoffs or depressions, for the millions of motor cars and tractors in use must be kept in condition. There is this about it, too! Every year the cars already in use grow older. As they age they need more care. 01? the_$t3,000,000,000.00 a. big part goes to the owners of garages and their asszs an s. This is my advice to ambitious young men, the fellows who want to get ahead, to be independent. Equip yourself the Rahe-Way. Learn Auto and Tractor mechanics thoroughly. Be an expert. Then pick your job from the-many openings available when you leave my school. Go to work, and work hard. You will make good money, mighty good/ money for a, young man. SAVE a good part of these earnings, put them away in the bank. In a. year or so you may be independent—in a. posi- tion to start a garage of your own. Not a. large one right aWay per- haps, but if you know how to give good Service. your business will grow. In time you will be making~well. you will set your own income. Garage owners make as high as $50,000 a year, others plug along mak- ing $3,000 or $4,000. It is all up to the man—his training. how hard he will work, his ability to save, his ambition and his initiative. Learn the RAKE-WAY For Big Pay. And the way to get this thorough training is to work under the Master Me- chanics in a Rahe School. I have spent fourteen years of my life train- ing these Master Instructors to train YOU. I have rolled up my sleeves to take apart engines. I like. to work With power machinery, just as any real man does. And so I keep in touch at all times with the train- ing given in each one of the departments. Here is what you get under the Rahe Life Scholarship ——Complete Auto and Tractor Training. includ- ing Transmissions, Engine Assembly, Starting and Lighting Systems, Storage Batteries, Carburetion and “Trouble Shooting." Welding and Cutting, Forging and Soldering, Vulcanizing, Tire Repair, Rebuilding and Retreading. Complete Machine Shop Practice, Special Ford work Special Truck and Tractor instruction. ' Special limited Time Tuition Rate, $100 A complete Rahe Life Scholarship for $100. For a limited time only I am offering the entire Rahe course at this new rate $50 saving OVezz my regular rate of $150. The offer first was made to introduce the new Chicago School. But it wouldn’t be fair, I decided, to make an offer for Chicago that I wouldn’t duplicate at Kansas City and Cincin- nati. So, for $100, you can receive the complete Rahe Life Scholarship -which entitles you to training as long as you want to attend any \ time, at any of the Rahe Schools. ' Decide to come now.

WHEAT After three weeks of advancing pric es the wheat market suffered a re versal during the past week and 10s over half of its recent gains. In Ar gentine prospects improved material ly and the movement of Canadian wheat is still increasing and prices in that market have been depressed con« siderably. The visible supply in this country, which was decreased tempor- arily is now increasing again. In ad dition to these factors, it is said that the European market can not absorb at once all the supply which has been contracted for. Some reselling. of American wheat abroad was reported also. The succession of bearish views last week unsettled the market and even more serious setbacks in prices would not be surprising, especially in view of European financial conditions. On the other hand, there is a strong prospect of higher prices later in the crop year when the supply in sight has become more attenuated. CORN Although receipts at the primary markets are still large country offer- ings of old corn are decreasing. For two months the movement has been the largest on record for the season and many country cribs have been emptied. In spite of the heavy run the visible supply' in terminal ele-vati orshas been materially reduced, show- ing that the consumptive demand is exceptionally broad. Export buying has dwindled in the last few days due partly to the weakness in foreign ex- change. The Argentine surplus is only half what it was at this time a year ago and large export sales from this country are expected to continue throughout the coming year. Although prices are nearly the lowest of the season, there is little prospect of a material advance for months. OATS The export demand for oats which has been expected for several months showed signs of development during Switzerland made inquiries but no sales have been reported. Receipts are the past week at a time when export- ‘ ers were inactive in the wheat and corn markets. Germany, Holland and g. '3 a: . . Ill-a: ll..- 1 . "mum". I r . 'I lighter than a year ago, but thus far the visible supply at terminals has not started to decline and is now about twenty-five per cent larger than ever before. SEEDS Reports of the, department of agri- culture indicate that the red clover seed crop Will be from 30 to 40 per cent lighter than that of last year. Alsike shows a reduction of 20 to 30 per cent. The timothy seed crop is light but it is much higher in quality , than a year ago. Timothy seed has been marketed with unusual rapidity since harvest and there are signs that. clover seed producers will follow the same tactics. ‘ FEEDS Feed markets are quoted as steady, although the volume of trade is small“ Storage stocks are liberal and excel- lence of pastures curtails demand. The shortage of feedstuffs in Europe is re- flected in export demand for bran and shorts as well as for the seed meals. HAY Hay markets generally are dull and quiet although light receipts caused small advances at some markets and southern demand shows slight im— provement. There have-been some in- quiries in the cast for export. POULTRY AND EGGS Both poultry and egg prices have been comparatively steady for several weeks, but last week egg prices ad- vanced in spite of receipts at leading cities running about 25 per cént larger than a year ago. Poultry prices, on the other hand, declined and further losses are expected during the next few weeks when receipts are heavy. The preliminary report on cold storage holdings of eggs on September 1 was 7,234,000 cases compared with 6,372,- 000 cases on, the same date last year. This is the largest supply for that date on record with the exception of 1919, when 7,648,946 cases were reported. Chicago—Eggs fresh firsts 32@34c; ordinary firsts 28@29c.

BUTTER In Spite of an increase of about ten per cent in the receipts of butter at the leading markets last week, fancy grades were scarce and prices advanc- ed sharply. Medium and undergrades were dull and hard to move and ac~ cumulate on the market. The prelim- inary repo‘rt on cold storage holdings on September 1 showed 93,946,000 lbs. or nearly 22,000,000 lbs. less than at this time a year ago and the smallest for the season since 1915. The five- year average is 110,326,000 lbs. This report was a factor in the strength of the market. Toward the close of the week demand slackened, especially in the east. There were reports also of Danish butter on the way. The gen- eral outlook is fairly strong but nu- merous setbacks from time to time can be expected. Prices for 92-score fresh butter were: Chicago 42c; New York 44c. In Detroit fresh creamery in tubs was quoted at 35 @361/20. POTATOES The fall movement of potatoes is under way, shipments for the entire United States averaging nearly 1,000 cars daily. Prices are about 500 per hundred weight lower, with eastern points showing less weakness than the middle west.

' --r--- - (Continued from page 278). tee to complete plans for the launch; ing of the campaign. In the general discussion of the proposition it was brought out that while the amount of grain required looks large,.the individ- ual contribution. needed will be small. Professor Friday noted that it would approximate only about one dollar for ’each $10,000 of‘farm value in the state. All expressed confidence that the farm- ers of the state would respond to this call in the name of humanity. At a meeting of the executive com- mittee held immediately after adjourn- ment of the board, the following letter was made public: “To the Farmers of Michigan, ' “From the Emergency Grain Boardnin meeting assembled on Watkins Farms, Manchester: “With children dying in their moth- ers’ arms of starvation; with cholera and typhus spreading; with the popu- lation perishing in such numbers that in the larger cities wagons twice daily remove the corpses from the streets; with knowledge that food must be pro- cured, transported and carried into the interior before these dread conditions can be overcome, the Executive Offi» cers of Near East Relief recognize the absolute need for an immediate cam~ paign for grain for the lands of the Near East. “These men, who at their own ex- pense had gone’into this region of m1s- ry and death to verify the reports of their field workers and to procure facts upon which to base the next year’s relief program, realized that not half the story had been told. Unhesi- tatingly they issued the order for a nation-wide grain appeal. “The wail of the starving people of Armenia and its neighboring lands has been heard throughout America. An organization—in Michigan the Emer- gency Grain Board has been created to bring the appeal for those people, of whom eighty-five per cent are farmers, to the farmers of our own state. “This year, today, you yourselves suffer the effects of short crops. But over there! The only harvest those un- happy people haVe had in more than five years-has been the daily harvest of the dead; picked up in the streets; by the chill waysides of the wild Geor- gian Mountains; in the desolated farm valleys of Armenia; on the scorched floor of a desert whose only shadow of refuge for them has been the shadow of the wing of Death. “We have been chosen to present to you their plight, and being of you, we do not hesitate. ' We know that you will sacrifice, that they may live. “The need which America is called upon to meet is for 5,000,000 bushels of corn and wheat. Michigan’s alottcd share is 100,000 bushels. “The records in the Michigan office of Near East Relief disclose many in- dividual contributions by farmers. But this is the first time in Michigan the call has been sent forth to farmers as a producing class. “We recognize that you may not be in a position where you can contribute either corn or wheat. You may prefer to make a contribution of money; or you may desire to contribute barley or rye or beans. The choice of your gift rests with you. Our thought is simply this: . “Every farmer in the state should contribute to the success of this ap- peal in behalf of these starving people ——our allies in the World War, the old- est race of Christians. ”The distribution of Michigan’s coun- ty quotas is fair. It represents a con- tribution equal to One Dollar in every $10,000 of farm value. ' “This appeal, to be of any benefit in the present crisis, must be met before November 1, 1921, in order that the grain may be milled, transported across the seas, and delivered into the interior before the snows of early win- ter block the roads into Armenia and the Near East. This is an opportunity for life-saving service which may pre- sent itself but once. “ ‘BUT ONCE—I shall pass through this world but once. Any good there- fore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it—FOr I shall not pass this way again.’ ‘ - . “Faithfully and confidently yours, “Signed by the full personnel of the Relief Committee.” “Whatever his trials, the farmer does not know the horror of having no “it“! fukhQarFLVim. of his beast, but FAIR.
