ORSE costs are one of the large



items of overhead. According to



figures just compiled from rec-

'ords of twenty-five farms in Wayne

and Monroe counties on last year

costs, it required $163 on the average

to keep a horse, and each horse with

its accompany equipment represented

an average investment of $758. These

figures also show that it took 93.5

hours of, the farmer’s time to care for

each of his horses. It would seem,

therefore, that one of the larger items

in the operation of the farm, is horse

maintenance and also that horses rep.

resent one of the larger "items of the

capital necessary in the operation of

the farm.



Items entering into direct costs on

horse maintenance included: Grain,

,(oats and corn), $56.70; roughage

.(eorn stover, hay, mixed pasture and

bedding), $105.91; miscellaneous (de‘

creased inventory, horse purchases,

depreciation), $25.15. From this total

was deducted $11.03 for horse sales,

and $13.75 for manure value, leaving

the cost‘ per animal $163. Feed, of

course, is the largest item in these

costs and is very much reduced at the

present time because of the decreased

prices'at Which feed is selling. With

feed computed at present prices, the

annual cost. is $94. So far as the pres-

ent year crop is concerned, however,

feed that entered into its production

must be figured on the higher basis. »



It is often said, that the home-grown

feed is not a legitimate charge against

the keep of a horse as it is a cost en-

tirely within the farm, and does not

represent any cash actually paid out.

And again, Without the horses, the

feed could not be raised, so that what

the farmer should consider is the

amount of surplus feed he has to sell

after his horses have consumed the

necessary amount to keep them. By

looking at the problem from this stand-

point there maybe some justification

for not charging home-grown feeds to

horses. On the other hand, the farm

tractor is coming to take the place of

horses as a part of farm power. Some

horses may be disposed of when the

tractor is purchased. By buying a trac-

tor and keeping fewer horses, one can

sell more feed. One will have less

horse cost and more tractor cost. In

a way, such horse cost may be credit-

ed to the income due to the tractor.

From this standpoint then, it is highly

desirable for every farmer to know

what his horses are costing him per

year. He would then be better able to

judge the economy of the horse as a.

power. plant. ~

Michigan Corn Threatened





»





HE European corn borer has



already extended its work along



the south side of Lake Erie and

over considerable territory in the prov-

ince of Ontario. Both of these inva-

sions bring: this threatening pest

close to Michigan farms. In Ontario

fields of corn have been totally de-

stroyed during the present year. It

will be a sad day for cern—belt farming

if the devastation now to be seen in a

few places in Ontario should ever

spead over the big corn states.



On the south side of Lake Erie the

borer has been found all the way from

western New York to the Michigan

line and it is possible that 'some infes-

tation may yet be discovered in this

state before the season is over. Mich-

igan farmers, county agents, and all

state agencies will need to cooperate





with the authorities of other states'





and with the federal government to

the end that the progress of this pest

be stayed as much as possible against

the day when some expedient is found

for its control or until some parasite

develops to do the work for man.



At a conference of official entomolo-

gists otthe United States and Canada

held at Sandusky, Ohio, last week, a

policy, wasadoptedewith regard to this

tine and control work between state

and federal authorities is needed. Au-

thorities in infested states and prov-

inces are urged to make financial pro—

vision for carrying on an extended c0-

operative warl‘are against the enemy.

A study of the history of the insect

abroad is being made and published

for the benefit of entonlologists in this

country.



Practical methods to retard the pro-

gress of this borer suggested to corn

growers by these entomologists are:

Cut corn early and close to the ground.

Ensilo entire corn crop if possible.

Shred or cut cornstalks before feed-

ing. Uneaten stalks from yards and

fields should be completely plowed un-

der or burned before May 15. Roll

corn stubble With heavy roller in fall

and then plow immediately. Burn the

weeds and grasses in or near infested

places. Since early planted corn is

most likely to become infested, later

planting is recommended. On one On-

tario farm corn planted May 23 show-

ed from seventy-one to eighty~two per.

cent of the stalks damaged, while corn





planted June 13 on the same farm‘





showed but from eleven to eighteen

per cent infestation. It was further

suggested that a strip of corn be

planted, early on the side of the field

toward the source of infestation as a

Most farmers are short of capital.

Indeed, a farmer’s one life-long strug-

gle is to get together enough capital

to buy his necessary equipment and

to pay for a farm. Money invested in

horses is an important part of this

capital. At $158 each, four horses rep-

resents approximately enough capital

to buy a tractor.



For the purpose of furnishing farm-

ers with figures on comparative costs

between horses and tractors, as well

as of determining other costs connect-





ed with the operation of a farm, the,





Farm Management Department of the

Michigan Agricultural College has en-

tered into a careful plan for the de-

termination 01‘ such costs.



The figures published above were

taken from records kept by twenty-five

farmers in Wayne and Monroe coun‘

ties. These figures were kept under

the supervision ol.‘ a man from the

farm management department. This

man visited each of these farms once

a month. He checked over the farm-

er’s accounts and helped him in the

matter of weighing and measuring, as

well as on all the other accounting

problems in connection with the oper-

ation of the farm. Three similar farm

accounting routes have been establish:

ed so that figures are being obtained

on one hundred representative farms

in the state. One of these routes is

in the dairy section, another is made

up of twenty-five farms upon which

sheep and steers are being fed,‘ the

third consists of twenty-five general

farms of the central section of the

state and the fourth of twenty-five

farms in the northwestern section of

the state on each of which farms at-

least five acres of potatoes are being

grown. Farm accounts, being kept up-

on these farms, reliable figures will be

obtained covering all the various types '

of farm costs.

CURRENT COMMENT

HE War Finance





 





\—





Corporation is a

Emergency government agency

Credit for originally organized

Farmers to aid in the indus-





trial expansion found

necessary in the production of war ma—

terial. Later it was made a govern-

ment agency for the financing of ex-

ports to foreign countries. Its latest

development is as a government agen-

cy for the financing of agricultural

loans, under the plan briefly described

in another column of this issue.

While its activities in this direction

will of necessity be more or less com-

plicated and involve a good deal'of de-

tail on the part of the banks through

which the advances for the loans are

"made, this is of minor importance as

compared with. the benefit which

'should accrue to agriculture and to

the country at large. It is a matter of

common knowledge that in the pres—

} ent emergency country banks are un-

able to satisfy the legitimate demands

of their farmer patrons for the proper

financing of their business, particular-

ly stock feeding enterprises which in-

volve a very considerable investment.

' The financing of these and other legiti-

mate agricultural activities through

the aid of the War Finance Corpora-

tion should aid thousands of farmers

to market their grain and forage crops

through live stock to the best advan-

tage and insure to the country a more

constant and dependable supply of

foodstuffs during the coming year.

This is a step which should go far to-

' ward beginning the sound rehabilita-

tion of business at the point where

deflation struck its first and hardest

blow.

Government “Will Finance

Agricultural Loans





HE War Finance Corporation



has just issued a circular to



bankers giving information as

to the procedure through which they

can secure advances on agricultural

loans. These advances are to be made

under Section 24 of the War Finance

Corporation Act, as amended, which

reads as follows:



“Sec. 24. Whenever in the opinion

of the Board of Directors of the Cor-

poration the public interest may re-

quire it, the Corporation shall be au-

thorized and empowered to make

advances upon such terms not in-

consistent with this Act as it may

determine to any bank, banker,

or trust company in the United

States, or to any cooperative associa-

tion of producers in the United States

which may have made advances for

agricultural purposes, including the

breeding, raising, fattening, and mar-

keting of live stock, or may have dis-

counted or rediscounted notes, drafts,

bills of exchange or other negotiable

instruments issued for such purposes.

Such advance or advances may be

made upon promissory note or notes,

or other instrument or instruments, in

such form as to impose on the borrow-

ing bank, banker,trust company, or co-

operative association a primary and

unconditional obligation to repay the

advance at maturity with interest as

stipulated therein, and shall be fully

and adequately secured in such in-

stance by indorsement, guaran’ty,

pledge, or otherwise. Such advances

may be made for a period not exceed-

ing one year and the Corporation may

from time to time extend the time of

payment of any such advance through

renewals, substitution of new obliga-

tions or otherwise, but the time for

the payment of any such advance shall

not 'be extended beyond three years

from the date upon which such ad-

‘vance was originally made. The ag-

gregate of advances made to any bank,

banker, trust company, or cooperative

association shall not exceed the

amount remaining unpaid of the ad-

vances made by such bank, banker,

trust company, or cooperative associa

tion for purposes herein described.



“The Corporation may, in exception-

a1 cases, upon such terms not incon-

sistent with this Act as it may deter-

mine, purchase from domestic banks,

bankers, or trust companies, notes,

drafts, bill of exchange, or other in-

struments of indebtedness secured by

chattel mortgages, warehouse receipts,

bills of lading, or other instruments in

writing conveying or securing market-

able title to staple agricultural prod-

ucts, including live stock. The Cor-

poration may from time to time, upon

like security, extend the time of pay-

ment of any note, draft, bill of ex—

change, or other instrument acquired

under this section, but the time for the





payment of any such note, draft, bill.





of exchange, or other instrument shall

not be extended beyond three years

from the date upon which such note,

draft, bill of exchange, or othenin-

strument was acquired by the Corpor-

ation. The Corporation is further au-

thorized, upon such terms as it may

prescribe, to purchase, sell, or other-

wise deal in acceptances, adequately

secured, issued by banking corpora-

tions organized under section 25 (a)

of the Federal Reserve Act: Provided,

That no purchase of acceptances of

the said banking corporations shall be

made except for the purpose of assist-

ing the said banking corporations in

financing the exportation of agricul-

tural and manufactured products from





the United States to foreign countries .

This circular interprets the provis-

ions of the actand defines in a general

way the procedure to be followed in

the' securing of advances on agricul-

tural loans. Briefly, this information

states that “The War Finance Corpor-

ation is authorized to make .an ad-

vance to any bank, banker, or trust

company which may have made ad-

vances for agricultural purposes: that

is, for any purpose connected with the

growing, harvesting, preparation for

market, and marketing of agricultural

products, or the breeding, raising, fat-

tening, and marketing of livestock;

or which may have discounted or re-

discounted agricultural paper; that is,

any note, draft, bill of exchange, or

other negotiable instrument issued for

an agricultural purpose.” These ad-

vances may be made at any time prior

to July 1, 1922, and will mature not

later than one year from the date of

the advance. V



Forms of obligation and security are

prescribed and it is announced that

The War Finance Corporation has ap-

pointed Agricultural Loan Agencies in

the various agricultural and live stock

sections of the country, whose duty it

will be to receive and pass upon ap-

plications for advances, subject to the

apprOVal of the War Finance Corpor-

ation. Announcement is made that the

addresses of these agencies can be ob-

tained from the nearest Federal Re-

serve or Branch Bank, or from the

War Finance Corporation, Washing-

ton, D. C., but as we go to press the

Detroit Branch of the Federal Re-

serve Bank of Chicago advises that no

Agricultural Loan Agency has as yet

been appointed for this state.





The Michigan Farmer has taken

steps to learn the full details regard-

ing this new activity or the War

Finance Corporation. These details,

however, will not concern the farmer

who is in need of a. loan for the

financing of a stock-feeding enterprise

or other agricultural activity at the

present time. He can avail himself of

government aid in this direction only

through the medium of his banker.

Having made the loan in accordance

with the prescribed regulations, the

banker can then secure an advance to

cover the, aggregate of his loans for

similar purposes from The War

Finance Corporation. With this fact

in mind, Michigan farmers who are in

need of short-time loans to finance

their business should get in touch with

their bankers at once. While the plan

under which these advances will be

made will involve much detail for the

banker, yet every public spirited bank-

er should be glad to accommodate all

worthy applicants among his custom-

ers under conditions which will enable

him to secure an advance of the funds

so used. This should relieve a some-

what serious situation in many com-





munities where the banks are unable.

‘91
' ,1WHY FILLED MILK THREATENS

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.





 





N the preparation of filled milk, the



skim-milk is reduced by evaporation

to about half its bulk, and after this op-

eration there is added from six to

eight per cent of cocoanut fat. The

resulting mixture is an exact imita-

tiOnof pure evaporated or condensed

milk. It has the same consistency,

the same color, the same taste, and

the difference in the two products can

only be detected “by an expert or by

Chemical analysis.



The compound can be made more

cheaply than the condensed milk, and

many people buy it in the belief that

they are getting full condensed or

evaporated milk. According to the

testimony of the leading manufactur-

ers, skim-milk has. recently sold for

thirty-five cents per hundred and re-

fined cocoanut oil at twelve cents per

pound. The cost of a quantity of



' skim-milk and cocoanut fat suflicient

to fill forty-eight one-pound cans of

the compound is a little over eighty

cents, or less than two cents per one-

pound can. The retail price of the

one-pound can is from teh cents up.



Storekeepers sell the filled milk with

the statements that “it takes the place

of milk,” “just as good as condensed

milk and much cheaper.” “Instances

have been found,” says Mr. Voigt, a

congressman from Wisconsin, “in



which the cocoanut fat was mixed with

milk and sold as cream; the compound

has been used for making ice cream,

and recently a company has been

formed at Pittsburgh to manufacture

' an artificial cream from skimmed or

fresh milk and‘cocoanut fat. The com-

pany states in its prospectus, ‘we can

.‘ wholesale Our Kream for one hundred

per cent less than cow’s cream and

still make a profit of over one hundred

' per‘cent.’ In many cases retailers sell

the compound for the same price as

the straight evaporated milk, although

the price per one-pound can to them is

about three cents less.”





VALUE OF CORN FODDER.





 





How many head of » cattle (cows)

can be wintered on ten acres of good

corn fodder, feeding three times a

day?—H. P. .



It is absolutely impossible for any

one to give you anything like exact in-

' formation on this question. In the first

place, no one would attempt to winter

cows on just cornstalks alone. It is a

‘ very unbalanced food. They ought to

have clover hay, which is rich in pro-

tein, to balance up the cornstalks,

which are carbonaceous, and besides

that, it would not be economy to at-

tempt to winter the _ '





Then, again, in figuring rations for the

live stock, we always take into consid~

eration the size of the animal and the

ration is figured so much per thousand

pounds live weight, therefore, if you

have large cows weighing twelve or

fifteen hundred pounds, it would take

much more food than cows weighing

one thousand pounds or less.

I would not wish to go on record as

expressing a definite opinion as to how'

many cows could be wintered on ten

acres of‘cornstalks. The best way is

to vary the ration by using clover hay

and ’ some grain, and then if you

haven’t cows enough to consume all

the cornstalks fed in this way you

could easily purchase more cows, or,

if you have too many you can easily

dispose of some of them if you care

to handle the question in this way.

C.’C. L.





 





IMPROVING GRADE GUERNSEY

COWS.





 





I have a pure-bred Holstein-Friesian‘

bull which I use for my Registered

Holstein cows. I also have a number

of grade Guernsey cows. Can I breed

my Guernsey cows to the Holstein

bull, and in that way improve them

or will it deplete and degrade the cows

and their offspring to breed to this

bull?——J. C. T. ‘ -





So long as you desire to get Holstein

cows or high-grade Holsteins, the

proper thing, of course, is to breed

your grade cows to your pure-bred

Holstein bull. It would not matter

whether your grade cows with Guern-

seys or Jerseys or Ayrshires. You

would get your ideal of a cow sooner

if you would sell your Guernseys and

buy grade Holsteins because it will

take a few generations to get high-

grade Holsteins from Guernsey grades

but your idea of the breeding is cor-

rect. You must breed these grades to

a pure-bred bull and the resultant

progeny to a bull of the same breed,

that is to a Holstein, and in a few

years you will have Holsteins for all

intents and purposes.—~C. C. L.





 





BUTTER YIELD OF CREAM.





 





What per cent ought cream to test

that persistently churns fifty per cent

butter, well finished?——J. J.





There is not sufl‘lcient data given to

answer this question accurately. The

yield of butter from cream is variable.

In ordinary churning one can get a

larger yield of butter from the same

cream one day than he can another. It

is largely a matter of temperature. Or-

dinarily, it is not safe to make butter”

that contains more than twenty per

ORGANIZE COOPERATIVE DAIRY





 





ARMERS in eastern and northern



townships in\ -Muskegon county

have organized a new cooperative

dairy company and plans now are be-

ing made to construct a building, 40x

80 feet, in} the city of _Muskegon. The

site has not as yet been selected. The

plans for financing the project are

nearing completion. Officers of the

company are: President, E. E. Pier-

son, ‘Moorland; vice-president, Frank

J. Gates, Laketon; secretary-treasurer,

Warren M. Black—D. L. R.





 





SENATE TO ACT ON INCOME TAX.





 





THE senate finance committee com-



pleted its ldraft of the tax revision

bill during the recess, and it was ready

for submission to congress at the re-

convening of the session. A number





.._.of important changes have been made





by- the finance committee.



The maximum surtax on personal

incomes was left at thirty-two per

cent, effective January 1, 1922. The

repeal of the excess profits tax will

date from January 1, 1922. The cor-

poration income tax is increased from

ten per cent to fifteen per cent, in-

stead of twelve and one-half per cent

as in the house bill. Transportation

taxes are retained during the next cal-

endar year, but at one-half the present

rates. On incomes of married persons

not exceeding $5,000 the exemption is

increased from $2,000 to $2,500 and the

exemption for dependents. is raised

from $200 to $400. Beverage taxes are

all reduced to two cents per gallon.

The senate finance committee refused

to exempt the salary of the President

and officers of the judiciary from in-

come tax.



It is estimated that the total reve-

nue that will be raised if the senate

tax bill passes in its present form,

will not be less than $3,200,000,000.

Senator Penrose, who has the bill in

charge predicts that it can be passed

in the senate early in October.





GOVERNMENT SAVES ON EX-

PENSES.



GRADUAL decrease In govern.



ment expenditures is reported by

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, the

expenses of running the government

during July being $141,096,485 less

than for the corresponding time of

1920, not a large reduction as govern-

ment expenditures go, but a beginning

in the right direction.

SOME DEVELOPMENTS

PARTMENT OF AGfilCULTURE’.





 





OME interesting developments are



noted in the Federal Department

of Agriculture. C.,W. Pugsley, the new

assistant secretary, is in Washington,

acquainting himself with the duties of

his new position. He takes charge of

his office officially on October 1. Dr.

George F. Warren, consulting econom-

ist in the department, and William

F. Callander, assistant to the-chief of

the Bureau of Markets, have been se<

lected to visit European countries fo‘ri

the purpose of developing methods

and sources for, securing crop and

market information and to arrange for

sending it more promptly to this coun<

try. It is planned to develop a system

whereby the department will be able

to publish world crop forecasts.





CLOVERLAND GRANGE TOURS.





 





FFICERS of the State and Natiom



a1 Grange, with certain local

Grange officers, were touring the up

per peninsula late in August in the

interest of this organization. Meet-

ings were held at- Sault Ste. Marie,

Powers, Iron River, Baraga and Mar

quette and at one or two other points.

The meeting at Marquette, September

2, closed the series. It indicates how:

ex'tended is the area of Michigan when

it is stated that Master A. B. Cook and

his party had traveled 2,500 miles

when they reached Marquette on their

tour of speechqnaking in both penin<

sulas. I seemed to catch a note of

disappointment in the attendance at

these meetings, especially the later

ones, from Mr. Cook and others from

south of the Straits, but it should be

understood that conditions here'and

in southern Michigan differ radically

which would make a small attendance





at some of these meetings inevitable. '





Marquette county is not a snug little

farming community like Clinton or

Berrien counties, for example. It cov‘

ers an area of 1,870 square miles—the

largest county in the state; and it

would require a journey of forty or

fifty miles—even more—for some of

our farmers to attend from this county;

alone—L. A. C.





A NEW FISH BOOKLET.





 





HE Upper Peninsula. Development



Bureau, with oflices at Marquette,

has issued for free distribution a neat

little pamphlet, “Where to Fish in blo‘

by an extensive correspondence with

well-informed local persons in all parts

of the district, and was edited by Dr.

John Lowe, professor of biology in the

Northern State Normal School, and a.

fish expert formerly connected with

.the Wisconsin Conservation CommiSd

sion. In the summer our streams are

much sought by fishermen, both local

and immigrant, and no doubt this lit‘

tle booklet will be much appreciated,

:. ,‘x.
THE practice of plant sanitation to

.1 prevent parasitic diseases and rot-

’ ting of farm produce, if heeded in time

will save many ‘of the trees and ‘keep

vegetables from rotting.



The raspberry patch should be “can-

ed” to remove all dead and badly dis-

eased stalks. This is more or less of

sanitary measure and it gives the

sound canes a chance.



In fall pruning of apple orchards

the farmer has a chance to rid the

trees of cankered limbs. In deciding

what cuts are to be made, the vigor

and freedom from disease of a limb

should be borne in mind.



Any pruning cut exposes the heart

wood of the tree and opens the way

for heart rot fungi. As soon as the

cut surfaces are dry they should be

painted with a white lead paste (not

zinc white). Common barn paint or

ready-mixed houSe paint has small

protecting value for pruned surfaces.

The pruning out should be made flush

with the main branch. The healing of

wounds comes about from a “callus”

growth from the cambium. If stubs

are left the projecting parts prevent

the healing.



Hold-over cankers of fire blight can

be located by the blighted twigs on

which the leaves have withered and

dried. The canker is at the base of

the twig. These should be located and

removed. Thorough winter eradication

coupled with vigilance in the early

part of the growing season will con-

trol fire blight.



Ventilation is necessary in the stor»

age cellar if disastrous rotting of the

produce is to be avoided. Vegetable

pits should be provided with a stiaw

floor and a straw or crate chimney.

Black heart of potatoes and black

specking of cabbage are due to lack of

oxygen in the storage room.



A cleanup of all trash from the pre-

ceding crop should take place promptly

in the garden. Many fungi survive the

winter in such trash. Sanitation is the

gardener’s greatest protection.



In the field sanitation is obtained by

crop rotation. Those who followed

corn with corn, beets with beets, or

beans with beans, have this year

found that' disease has been one im-

portant factor in their farming. Aside

from. its relations to soil fertility, crop

rotation is necessary to avoid disease

intensification.





IMPROVED FREIGHT SERVICE FOR

FRUIT SHIPPERS.





 





ITH a View to improving the



service to fruit growers in west-

ern Michigan, particularly along the

Pere Marquette lines in Ottawa, Alle—

gan and Van Buren counties, the Fruit

Growers’ Express Company, which

supplies this railroad with most of its

refrigerator cars during the fruit mar-

keting season, will establish a new

icing plant at Saugatuck next season.

Heretofore the cars 'have been iced

either in Grand Rapids or Holland,

causing some delay in furnishing cars

at critical periods of the season. The

proposed station is expected to reduce

damage claims to a certain extent.





GRAPE PRICES DISAPPOINTING.





HE grape growers in western and



southwestern Michigan have been

somewhat disappointed this season in

prices they have received for their

fruit. With the crop less than fifty

per cent normal many of them had ex-

pected to receive around $150 a ton,

basing their expectations upon prices

received last fall from the largest crop

they ever produced. Instead, prices

on the average were slightly under

TELEI’HONE WIRES ON «HIGH-

" WAYS.





 





A state road is being built‘past my

farm, and in order to complete the

grade they have ordered the telephone

company to move back their poles. A

row of fine maples stands back of the

four-rod line of stakes on my property.

Can the company out my trees to ac-

commodate theirxwiresl—C. W.



Michigan Compiled Laws (1915)

See. '4469, provides that in erecting

and maintaining their wires the tele-

graph and telephone companies shall

not cut down, injure, or deface any

tree or shrub planted along the mar-

gin of the highWay; and if such injury

is done the company doing the injury

is liable in damages—J. R. R.





TELEPHONE» WIRE ON VACATED

HIGHWAYS.





 





In building a trunk line the commis-

sioner straightened the road in front

of my farm which leaves telephone

poles on my place. I have asked them

to remove the poles, but they do not

do it. What can I do?———J. M.





Our court has held that poles set in

the highway for telephone or tel-

egraph lines are not an increased bur-

den on the abutting owner, and there-

fore no payment need be made to him,

and his consent is not necessary.

Therefore, it is likely that this wire

was put up without any grant being

obtained from the owner of the ad-

joining land. In this caSe the rights

of the telephone company are at an

end when the road is vacated, and the

abutting owner may, if he will take

the risk, peaceably remove them, or

he may take the safer course of suing

in ejectment or by summary proceed-

ings for possession—J. R. R.





CORPORATE LIABILITY FOR

TORTS.





 





‘ Can I force the telephone company

to pay damage for property destroyed

through either their or their linemen’s

fault —-R. L.





Corporations being impersonal act

only through their agents and ser-

vants, and are liable for all torts com-

mitted by either'in doing acts about

the company’s business. However, af-

ter judgment is obtained nothing can

be sold on execution that is used in

the public service. If the company re-

fuses to pay a judgment the only re-

course would be to have a receiver

appointed—J. R. R.





FORECLOSURE.





 





I have a mortgage on a farm which

was recorded. It was due in March of

this year, but the party has not paid.

What would be the outcome if I al-

lowed it to go until next March, or

could Lforeclose it before then ?——-J. G.





The mortgage may be foreclosed at

any time within ten years from the

time it is due. But it will take fifteen

months to foreclose either by adver-

tisement or in Chancery, from the time

the foreclosure is begun—J. R. R. '





WHEN TO APPLY LIME.





 





Have a seed-bed ready to sow to al-

falfa. Want to.cover it with marl.

Should I do this before or after seed-

ing? Should I prepare now for spring

seeding?—A. L. /



The best time to apply marl, which,

of course, is nothing but limemwould

be while you are preparing the seed-





,bed- andworkit- into the surface soil.

course, it can be abroadcasted on top

correction of the soil at the very first. -‘

If you spread marl on after the alfalfa i

is sown, you have got- to wait for a. V,

rain to‘ dissolve it and carry it down i '

to the roots ofthe'alfalfa, but if you , , '

had applied the marl while you were i

soil. ’ v ’



A nurse crop of cats with fall seeds .

ing would be a detriment rather than

a benefit to the alfalfa. We use the‘

nurse crop in the spring to prevefit the

growth of weeds. The weeds would

take much more moisture from' the

plants somewhat from the hot sun. 1





have a better chance without any

nurse crop. I would prefer to have

the land fall plowed for alfalfa next i

spring, because then you only have to



loosen the surface soil to prepare the



seed-bed. The sub-soil has become set~



tied during the winter and is in much 4

better condition for the young plants



than as though you would plow it in



the spring. Spring plowed soil is loos

and is not as good a seed-bed as a

RIGHT OF FLOWAGE.





 





I have a farm in which there -is a.

natural drain onto another man's farm. ‘i

For over fifty years the water has run ,,..

from my farm onto this man’s and

then into a creek which runs across

his place. This was quite a stream for

many years and was bridged over at

the road which separates the two

farms. As time went on, this stream

became smaller and it was finally out

down to a sewer tile which was placed

under the road and which took the

place of the bridge which was former-

ly there. Still later, the pathmaster or

someone else drew dirt to raise this

low place in the road and the dirt fall-

ing off the side has stopped the tile

so that the road now acts as a dam

and in the spring it makes the water

back up onto my fields so that no

spring crop can be put in. The man

on the other side‘of the road claims

that I have no right to open this tile as

the water would go onto him. I have

tile to the road and he has tile on his

Side across one field, but the pathmas-

ter has plugged up the tile under the

road so that no water can cross. Can

I open the tile?—F‘. E. W.

In the card-room of the observation

car, playing and conversation still

went on for a time; then it diminished

as one by one the passengers went

away to bed. Connery, looking into

this car, found it empty and the porter

cleaning up; he slowly passed on for-





ward through the train, stopping mo- »





mentarily in the rear Pullman oppo-

site the berth of the passenger whom

President Jarvis had commended to

his care. His scrutiny of the car told

him all was correct here; the even

breathing within the berth assured him

the passenger slept.



Connery went on through to the next

car and paused again outside the berth

occupied by Eaton. He had watched

Eaton all day with results that still

he was debating with himself; he had

found in a newspaper the description

of the man who had waited at War-

den’s, and he reread it, comparing it

with Eaton. It perfectly confirmed

Connery’s first impression; but the

more Connery had seen of Eaton,pand

the more he had thought over him dur-

ing the day, the more the conductor

had become satisfied that either Eaton

was not the, man described or, if he

was, there was no harm to come from

it. After all, was not all that could be

said against Eaton—if he was the man

———simply that he had not appeared to

state why Warden was befriending

him? Was it not possible that he was

serving Warden in some way by not

appearing? Certainly Mr. Dorne, who

was the man most on the train to be

considered, had satisfied himself that

Eaton was fit for an acquaintance;

Connery had seen what was almost a

friendship, apparently, spring up be-

tween Eaton and Dorne’s daughter dur-

ing the day.



The conductor went on, his shoul-

ders brushing the buttoned curtains

on both sides of the narrow aisle. Ex-

cept for the presence of the passenger

in the rear sleeper, this inspection was

to the conductor the uttermost of the

commonplace; in its monotonous fa-

miliarity he had never felt any strange-

ness in this abrupt and intimate bring-

ing together of people who never had

seen one another before, who after

these few days of travel together,

might probably never see one another

again, but who now slept separated

from one another and from the per

sons passing through the cars by no

greater protection than these curtains

designed only to shield them from the

light and from each other’s eyes. He

felt no strangeness in this now. He

merely assured himself by his scrutiny

that within his train all was right.

Outsidew . . '



Connery was not so sure of that;

rather, he had been- becoming more

certain hour by hour all through the

evening, that‘they were going to have

great difficulty in getting the train

through. Though he knew by Presi-

dent Jarvis’ note that the officials of

the road must be watching the pro-

greSs of this especial train with par-

ticular interest, he had received no

train-orders from the west for several

hours. His inquiry at 'the last stop

had told him the reason for this; the

telegraph wires to the west had gone

down. To the east, communication was

still open, but how long it would re-

main so he could not guess. Here in

the deep heart of the great mountains

—they had passed the Idaho boundary

line into Montana—they were getting

the full effect of the storm; their pro-

gress, increasingly slow, was broken

by stops which were becoming more

frequent and longer as they struggled

on. As now they fought their way

slower and slower up a grade, and

barely topping it, descended the oppo-

site slope at greater speed as the mo-

mentum of the train was added to the

engine-power, Connery’s mind went

back to thesecond sleeper with its sin-

gle passenger, and he spoke to the

Pullman conductor, who nodded and

went toward that car. The weather

had. prevented the expected increase

of their number of passengers at Spo-

kane; only a few had got aboard

there; there were worse grades ahead,

in climbing which every pound of

weight would count; so Connery—in

the absence of'orders and with Jarvis’

note in his pocket—had resolved to

drop the second sleeper.





At Fracroft—the station where he

was to exchange the ordinary plow

which so far had sufficed, and couple

on the “rotary” to fight the mountain

drifts ahead—he swung himself down

from the train, looked in at the tele-

graph oflice and then went forward to

the two giant locomotives, on whose

sweating, monstrous backs the snow,

suddenly visible in the haze of their

lights, melted as it fell. He'waited on

the station platform while the second

sleeper was cut out and the train made

up again: Then, as they started, he

swung aboard and in the brightly

lighted men’s compartment of the first

Pullman checked up his report—sheets

.with a stub 0f pencil. They had stop-

ped again, he noticed; now they were

climbing a grade, more easily because

of the decrease of weight; now a tres-

tle rumbled under the wheels, telling

him just where they were. Next was





Hi:





 





 

 

 





 





the powerful, steady push against op-

position—the rotary was cutting its

way through-a drift. .



Again they stopped—once more went

on. Connery, having put his papers

into his pocket, dozed, awoke, dozed

again; The snow was certainly heavy,

and the storm had piled it up across

the cuts in great drifts which kept the

rotary struggling almost constantly

now. The progress of the train halted

again and again; several times it back-

ed, charged forward again—only to

stop, back and charge again and then

go on. But this did not disturb Con-

nery. Then something went wrong.



All at once he found himself, by a.

trainman’s instinctive and automatic

action, upon his feet; for the shock

had been so slight as barely to be

felt, far too slight certainly to have

awakened any of the sleeping passen-

gers in their berths. He went to the

door of the car, lifted the platform

step, threw open the door of the ves-

tibule and hanging by one hand to the

rail, swung himself out from the side

of the car to look ahead. He saw the

forward one of the two locomotives

wrapped in clouds of steam, and men

arm-deep in snow wallowing forward

to rotary still further to the front, and

the sight confirmed fully his apprehen-

sion that this halt was more important

and likely to last much longer than

those that had gone before.





CHAPTER V.

Are You Hillward?





T is the wonder of the moment of



first awakening that one—however



tried or troubled he may be when

complete recollection returns—may

find, at first, rehearsal of only what is

pleasant in his mind. Eaton, waking

and stretching himself luxuriously in

his berth in the reverie halfway be-

tween sleep and full consciousness,

found‘himself supremely happy. His

feelings, before recollection came to.

check them, reminded, him only that

he had been made an acquaintance, al—

most a friend, the day before, by a

wonderful, inspiring, beautiful girl.

Then suddenly, into his clearing mem-

ory‘ crushed and crowded the reason

for his being where he was. By an

instinctive jerk of his shoulders, al-

most a shudder, he drew the sheet and

blanket closer about him; the smile

staring upward at the berth'above his

head and listening to the noises in. the

car.



The bell in the washroom at the end

of the car was ringing violently, and

some one was reinforcing his ring with

a stentorian call for "Porter! Porter!”





Eaton realized that it was very cold

in his berth, also that the train,

which was standing still, had been in

that motionless condition for some

time. He threw up the window curtain

as he appreciated that and, looking

out, found that he faced a great un-

broken bank ‘or glistening white snow

as high as the top of the car at this

point and rising even higher ahead.

He listened, therefore, while the Eng-

lishman—for the voice calling to the

porter was his—extracted all available

information from the negro.



“Porter!” Standish called again.



“Yessuh!” .



“Close my window and be quick

about it!”



“It’s closed, suh.”



“Closed?” \



“Yessuh;

night.”



“Closed!” The voice behind the cur-

tains iterated skeptically; there was a

pause during which, probably, there

was limited exploration. “I say, then,

how cold is it outside?”



“Ten below this morning, suh.”



"What, what? Where are we?”



“BetweenL Fracroft and Simons,

suh.”



“Yet?”



“Yessuh, yit!” .



“Hasn’t your silly train moved since

four o’clock?”



“Moved? No, suh. Not mo’n a yahd

or two nohow, sub, and I reckon we

backed them up again.”



“That foolish snow still?”



“Yessuh; and snow some more,

suh.),



“But haven’t we the plow still

ahead?” .



“Oh, yessuh; the plow’s ahaid. We

still got it; but that’s all, suh. It ain’t

doin’ much; it’s busted."



“Eh-—-what ?" 4



“Yessuh—-busted!' There was right

smart of a slide across the track, and

the crew, I understands, diagnosed it

jus' fo’ a snowbank and done bucked

right into it. But they was rock in

this; suh; w.e’s layin’ right below a

hill; and that rock jus’ busted that

rotary like a Belgium shell hit it. Yes-

suh—pieces of that rotary essentially

scattered themselves in four directions

besides backwards and fo’wards. We-

ain’t done much traveling’ since then."



“Ah! But the restaurant car’s still

attached ?”

ries the diner through—from the coast

Bail

The B

tains, continued; but Eaton .no longer

paid attention. - .



“Snowed in and stopped since four!”

The realization startled him with the

necessity of taking it into account in

his plans. He jerked himself up in his

berth and began pulling his clothes

down from the hooks; then, as abrupt-

ly, he stopped dressing and sat absorb-

ed in thought. Finally he parted the

curtains and looked out into the aisle.



The Englishman, having elicited all

he desired, or could draw, from the

porter, now bulged through his cur-

tains and stood in the aisle, unabash-

ed, in gaudy pajamas and slippers;

while he methodically -bundled his

clothes under his arm; then, still garb-

ed only in pajamas, he paraded majes-

- tically to the washroom. The curtains



over the births at the other end of the

car also bulged and emitted the two

dark-haired girls. They were complete

1y kimona-ed over any temporary defi-

ciency of attire and skipped to the.

drawing-room inhabited by their par-

ents. The drawing-room door instantly

opened at Amy’s knock, admitted the

girls and shut again. Section Seven

gave to the aisle the reddish-haired D.

S. He carried coat, collar, hairbrushes

and shaving case and went to join the

Briton in the men’s washroom.



There was now no one else in the

main part of the car; and no berths

other than those already accounted for

had been made up. Yet Eaton still de-

layed; his first impulse to get up and

dress had been lost in the intensity of

the thought in which he was engaged.

He had let himself sink back against

the pillows, while he stared, unseeing-

1y, at the solid bank of snow beside

the car, when the door of the further

end of the coach opened and Conduc-

tor Connery entered, calling a name.



“Mr. Hillward! Mr. Lawrence Hill-

ward! Telegram for Mr. Hillward!"



Eaton started at the first call of the

name; he sat up and faced about.



“Mr. Hillward! Telegram for Mr.

Lawrence Hillward!”



The conductor was opposite Section

Three; Eaton now waited tensely and

delayed until the conductor was past;

then putting his head out of his cur-

tains and assuring himself that'the car

was otherwise empty as when he had

seen it last, he hailed the conductor as

he was going through the door.



“What name? Who is the wire for?”



“Mr. Lawrence Hillward.”



“Oh, thank you; then that’s mine.”

He put his hand out between the cur-

tains to take the yellow envelope.



Connery held back. “I thought your

name was Eaton.”



“It is. 'Mr. Hillward—Lawrence

Hillward—is an associate of mine who

expected to make this trip with me

but could not. So I should have tele-

grams or other communications ad-

dressed to him. Is there anything to

Sign?”



“N0, sir—train delivery. It’s not nec-

essary.”



Eaton drew his curtains close again





 





and ripped the envelope open; but be- -

OU’LL find tractor manufacturers giving special emphasis to

the question of correct lubrication. They know unless the

[tractor receives proper care and the right oil, it will not do the work.





Texaco Tractoil is made specially for tractor engine lubrication. It

has the correct body—heavier than motor oil, it seals compression

perfectly, it: withstands the high temperature—vthat’s Where many

oils fail, and it does not deposit hard carbon in the cylinders.





When you use Texaco Tractoil you can be assured that the

question of engine lubrication ‘is properly taken care of—that’s





one big problem off your mind.





Texaco Tractoil comes in three grades, “B”, “C” and “D”;

your dealer will tell you which to use. You can get it in 33- or 55-

HOUGH free information ‘con-





cerning the care and feeding of.





infants may be had from so

many sources, such as baby clinics,

which are established in most, of our

cities; a pamphlet, “Infant Care,” put

out by the Children's Bureau of'the





‘Department of Labor at Washington,





and in many magazines, the most im-

portant item of feeding both babies in

the country and small towns is often

left out. This is the care of the milk

to make it safe for an infant’s food.

In the city, where certified milk may

be procured, the above mentioned in-

formation is all that is needed, but

living in the country it has been nec-

essary for me to solve the problem my-

self by experimenting (think of it!),

with my babies’ food.



I can make myself more clearly un-

derstood, perhaps, by telling the story

of my three babies, whose ages are

two and a half, sixteen months, and

three months. They were the same

weight at birth, and apparently had

the same strength and vitality. They

were fed one of the proprietary foods,

combined with fresh milk for the first

three months, then milk prepared with

lime water and sugar, using the form-

ula in “Infant Care.” The milk was

mostly from the same cow, the bottles

and nipples were carefully sterilized

for each feeding, the food kept covered

in a cool place in a sterilized fruit jar;

they were fed at regular intervals, the

right amount of food according to age

and weight, but there was a vast dif-

ference in their development, due to

thehandling of the milk.



The first baby was fed skim-milk, as

I thought the stomach trouble she de-

veloped was due to the cream, though

I now am certain it was caused by

milk taken from the general supply in

a tin pail. Though I took particular

pains with the cleaning of the pail,

there are too many seams where the

germs lodge, to make it a safe baby’s

milk container. This baby’s legs 'be-





came bowed as a result of the skim-'





milk. This trouble is a form of rick-

ets, due in this case, I have been in-

formed, to lack of butter-fat, which is

essential to the proper growth of the

bones. This I corrected by giving her





" all the rich milk, cream and butter





she would take, after she was weaned

and I discovered the trouble and its

cause. However, this baby grew very

large and strong and is today healthy

and large for her age.



The next baby was fed whole\ milk

prepared by the same formula. Milk-

into sterilized fruit jars, straining and





 





cooling immediately, saved her from

having stomach and bowel trouble.

‘She did nicely .until we moved and

began feeding the cows ensilage, when

she developed a. very severe attack of

indigestion, which nearly took her life

before we discovered the cause. On

changing the cow’s feed, she began to

. gain back her strength and to grow.

Now at sixteen months she is a very

large, strong child, perfectly healthy,

with no stomach or bowel trouble, ev-

en while teething.



The third_baby we are feeding the

same way, milking through sterilized

strainers, cooling the milk in cold wa-

ter uncovered, then covering with‘ a

muslin cloth and setting in a cool

place in cold water. This baby at

three months weighs fourteen pounds

(he weighed eight pounds at birth),

and keeps on gaining steadily. He has

been perfectly well from the first and

if nothing happens to interfere, I be-

lieve he will be a model bottle baby.

He lies in his crib and kicks and plays

or sleeps, and all he asks is his food

at the proper time, his regular bath,

fresh air and plenty of clean, dry

clothes. My care of him is mostly

hard work in the kitchen, but this

seems much better and easier to me

than the constant care of a fretful

baby.



I believe I have proven satisfactorily

that this is true: the cleaner the milk

the better the baby. There are three

things always to keep in mind concern-

ing it: Clean, Cool, Covered. I have

a large porcelain kettle with a cover

which I use only for the purpose of

sterilizing, and I have lots of faith in

my kettle. Everything that comes in

contact with baby food must be boiled.

Milk kept in this way has a delightful

fragrance and taste. We use about a

gallon a day for the three, the older

ones drinking all they want.



One has to experiment at first to

find whether the milk is too rich or

not. If so, it may be skimmed a little,

though my babies take very rich milk.



During the day the food is warmed

by setting the bottle in warm water

and testing for the right temperature,

but the nipple should neVer be put in

one’s mouth. The problem of warming

the food at night may be solved by

buying a baby bottle warmer, which

heats it in warm water also, thus

avoiding the danger of constipation.

My milk-fed kiddies are my pride, and

though I must work so hard to keep

them well and growing, in their ‘rosy

cheeks and bright eyes I find a blessed

reward for my labor.—L. E. M.

that we give the meat men a respect-

sane use of meat offers no more dis

WINTER TOMATOES.





 





WAS late getting my tomato plants



out last spring, and a few days later

still, a neighbor made me a present of

some nice Golden Ponderosa tomato

plants. Stress of other work prevent-

ed me from giving my garden much

care, consequently the plants develop-

ed slowly. By the time the early

frosts came, the latest Earlianas were

just in their prime and the Pondero-

sas were just beginning to ripen.



The first real cold evening we

pulled the finest plants of each kind

and hung them up in the cellar, leav-

ing the roots as little disturbed as

possible, I expected they would be

checked in developing, but on the con-

trary, ~they seemed to ripen fully as

fast as they would in the ground.

They were good-sized tomatoes, and

on October 15 we picked a panful of

lovely ripe ones, both yellow and red.

TESTED FARNI RECIPES.





 





EST Michigan farm women are



canning meat in the following

manner. Beef, veal and pork may all

be canned in this way and will keep

indefinitely.



Cut the meat into pieces convenient

for packing into fruit .- jars. Dip the

moist hand into table salt, and taking

a piece of meat in the other hand

wipe both sides with salt, leaving a

very thin coating. Pack in jars as

fast as salted, and on top put a piece

pack method, boiling three hours. Do

‘not allow any water to enter the jar

as this spoils the meat. The greatest

care must be taken to see that all rub-

bers are good, and there is no leakage

after the cans are removed from the

,boiler.



Foolish Frosting—This is the new

frosting Michigan farm women are us

ing. Put seven-eighths of a cup of

granulated sugar, one unbeaten egg

white and three tablespoons of boiling

water into the top of the double boil-

er. Set at once over boiling water

and beat steadily six minutes. If you

have no double boiler, use any dish

which will set‘ over boiling _water. The

frosting will froth up and resemble

the usual boiled frosting.

Creamed Hamburg.—-Hamburg is

much nicer if you would buy round

steak and put thrOugh your-own chop-

per. To cream, put two level teaspoons

of fat in the frying pan, add hamburg

when it melts, and stir until the meat

changes color. Add one pint of rich

milk and thicken with one flat table-

spoon of flour, dissolved in cold milk,

and the yolk of one egg. Reserve the

white for creamy sauce.



Corn on Cob—This is much finer

flavored if the corn is cooked in the

husks. Strip off outside husks, pull

down inner ones and remove silk.

Then replace husks and tie at top.

Boil twenty minutes and remove husks

before sending to table.



Stuffed Tomato Salad-Remove the

skins from medium-sized, smooth to-

matoes, cut off top and scoop out part

of center. Stuff with celery, onion,

and part of the center finely chopped,

and pour over all boiled salad dress-

ing. Serve on lettuce leaves.



Steamed Berry Pudding—Either

blackberries or huckleberries may be

used. Sift two cups of flour, four level

tablespoons of baking powder and one

teaspoon of salt. Work in two gener-

forty-five cases, thirty—eight were caus-

ed by preserved fruits or vegetables.

Work

TEN minutes a day is all the time

that Jay Seymour, ~of Eyota, Olm-

sted county, Minn, spent in raising

. his prize pig,'Lady Buster. This made

only twelve and a half hours for the

'whole contest. which brought him the

first prize in Olmsted county, a trip

to the State Fair, and high ranking

there.



Jay chose a Chester-White, because

to him the color suggests cleanliness

and purity. Perhaps father’s herd of

Chester Whites made a difference, too.

From a litter of eleven pigs the boy

chose Lady Buster, a daughter of

Eyota Buster, who won first prize for

him in 1919; and of Buster's Girl, a

daughter of Big Buster Second, the

second prize’ junior yearling pig at

the Minnesota State Fair in 1919, and

a grand-daughter of Big Buster, the

world’s greatest Chester White boar

of today; for he was grand champion

.at state fairs at Minnesota and Wis-

consin, the LaCrosse fair, and the In-

terstate, and first of his class at the

greatest show of all, the National

Swine Show. So you see Lady Buster

was of very good stock to start with.





when the pig was sixty days old and

valued at $25. It weighed seventeen

and a half pounds. Then he fed Lady

Buster in earnest. For four months

she pastured on June grass, but the

chief food of all was 900 pounds of

skim-milk. This Jay considered the

most important of all, for the milk

gives the pig variety, such as fats, car-

bohydrates, water and mineral sub-

stances Which occur in just the right

proportion, such as no other food has.

The June pasture gave the pig exer-

cise and strength, which made her

rugged. Then she had grain, too—900

pounds of barley, two bushels of corn,

and sixty-seven pounds of cats. In all

the feed cost $11.78.



After 123 days of feeding Lady Bus-

ter tipped the scales at 199 pounds,

making a gain of 181%; pounds, or 1.47

pounds a day.



At the State Fair Jay had a score of

92.9 per cent perfect, as follows: Type

55.9 out of a. possible sixty; cost and

records, 9.5 out of ten; gain, twelve

out of fifteen, and story, fifteen out of

fifteen.

Jay has decided that raising pure-

bred pigs is a life-work which will give

service and bring profit, so he will

adopt it for himself.—-M. S.

rAccording to representatives of the

United States Dairy Division and the

Boys’ and Girls’ Club section of the

States Relations Service, who are co-

operating with the National Dairy As-

‘sociation in putting on this contest,

it will be the'largest and most instruc-

tive ever held. Last year in Chicago,

fifteen teams from as many states par-

ticipated and it is expected the entry

«list will far exceed that here.



Only one team can enter.‘.from any

one state. Any boy or girl between

the ages of twelve and eighteen who is

a bona—fide member of a club project

relating to dairying as conducted by

the extension service of an agricultur-

al college, who has been selected and

tension as eligible, and who never has

taken part in a dairy cattle judging

contest 'of a national character, and

who has not had training to exceed

six weeks in any regular college

course, may become a. member of a.

state team.





Thousands of boys and girls in the

states represented, which will include

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North

and South Dakota and Michigan, will

have competed in local county and

state contests before coming to the

National Show.



In making the official announcement

of the contest, E. V. Ellinton, of the

Dairy Extension Section of the~United

States Department of Agriculture,

said:



“Good dairycattle are the first es-

sential for profitable dairying and they

are the most efficient producer of hu-

man food. By developing interest in

dairy cattle through cattle judging, a.

great incentive is given a. large num-

ber of boys and girls who do bigger

and better things in whatever line of

life, they may pursue.”

WHEAT





The thought of the possibility of a

wheat shortage before the 1922 crop

\ is harvested was disturbed last week

by reports indicating that this situa-

tion was less critical than supposed.

The Department of Agriculture in a

summary of wheat yields-gave the to-

tal for twenty countries in 1921 at

2,490,609,000 bushels. This compares

with an average yield for the five

years 1909 to 1913 of 2,330,150,000 bu.

This list of countries includes all the

important exporters except Russia.





CORN





Receipts of corn remain unusually

large and prices declined to a new low

mark. Chicago prices are not far from

the fifty-cent mark and there is little

prospect of an advance in values for a

number of weeks. Argentine prices

are relatively lower than American.





OATS





The visible supply of oats at termi—

nal markets is fully onethird larger

than ever known before. This situa-

tion is due to the heavy carryover of

old oats and to extremely rapid sales

following harvest. The light crops

point to considerably higher prices lat-

er on but it will be difficult to advance

prices as long as the large supply is





in sight.

HAY





Unsatisfactory prices to shippers ev-

erywhere, and rains in the northwest

have reduced the movement of hay.

Demand is still limited and calls for

the better grades almost exclusiVely.

Prices show little net change.





SEEDS





Owing to low prices for alfalfa hay,

it is expected that a liberal acreage

will be cut for seed and that the total

yield will be larger than in 1920. Clo-

ver and timothy seed receipts are

large but have been well absorbed for

the most part with little net change in





prices. .

FEEDS

Demand for wheat feeds is light and

prices are slightly lower. Linseed





meal also shows weakness, while cot-

' tonseed meal is slightly higher. Both

; of the latter are in rather strong sta‘



'tistical positions on account of light





already priced considerably higher

than other sources of protein. Gluten

feed declined sharply in .the last week.





WOOL





With .the exception of two weeks

ago, there has been a rather steady

demand for a moderate volume of wool

for over two months. Practically all

grades are being purchased, whereas

several months ago only fine wools

were wanted. Foreign auctions show





a firm tone, although no new advances,





have been reported. Although most

of the woolen mills are operating at a

normal rate upon advance orders for

woolen goods, the clothing manufac—

turers report that retail demand is not

altogether satisfactory.





POULTRY AND EGGS





In spite of the usual seasonal in-

crease in the supply of poultry, prices

remain high as compared with other

meats. Jewish holidays in the next

few weeks at which time well-finished

poultry usually is in strong demand

come on the following days: October

3-4, October 13-14, October 19-20, and

October 23-25. Egg prices have had a

sharp advance recently which has been

well maintained. The outlook for the

fall and winter egg market is fairly at-

tractive to producers, especially since

feed costs are so low.



Detroit.—~Fresh firsts 33@380; poul-

try, spring chickens 23613240; hens gen-

eral run 24@25c; roosters at 13@14c;

ducks 20@22c; geese 15c; turkeys 300.



Chicago—Eggs fresh firsts 351/261)

370; ordinary firsts 30@3lc; poultry,

spring chickens 220; hens general run

260; roosters 17c; ducks 25c.





BUTTER





Butter markets advanced slightly

last week although the gain was limit-

ed to grades scoring ninety or more.

Undergrades show little change in

price but have accumulated on the

principal distributing centers and are





 





 

 





comparatively weak. Supplies are

larger than at this time last year but

the addition to cold storage stocks has

not been large. Prices for 92-score

fresh butter we're: Chicago 430; New

York 43%c. In Detroit fresh creamery

in tubs sells for 37c.





FRUITS & VEGETABLES





Potato shipments for, the entire

country decreased nearly 30 per cent

in the last few days and prices ad-

vanced slightly although they are still

slightly lower than a week ago. North-

ern round whites at shipping points

are bringing $2@2.15 per 100 pounds

sacked. Shipments of,apples are aver-

aging about 2,000 cars per week for

the entire country. Eastern markets

are slightly higher with A-21/2 Weal-

thys quoted at $8@9.50 in consuming

markets. A-Zl/z Baldwins are bringing

$6.00 per barrel at New’ York shipping

points.





GRAND RAPIDS





Some of the best potatoes offered on

the Grand Rapids markets this season

were sold in the Furniture City this

week at $1.25@1.40 a bushel. Receipts

were quite heavy. Quotations were as

follows:

and Indiana, as the menace of the Hes-

sian fly is diminishing.



Rain is interferingwith the thresh-

ing of spring wheat in Minnesota and

North Dakota. The quality of the crop

is fair to good .in ‘Wyoming but the

yield is reportw to .be less than usual.



Potatoes—Late Irish potatoes con-

tinue to improve slightly throughout

the northern and central tiers of states

since the recent rains, but thin stands

and small settings of tubers, due to

the long summer drought, will serious-

ly curtail the yield. Prospects in the

far western states are quite favorable

and no damage is reported from the

recent frosts. Late potatoes are suf-

fering fromrdrought in the South At-

lantic states.



Fruit—The apple crop is maturing

unusually early and picking is in pro-

gress in many sections. The yield

throughout the eastern and central

states is very poor, but a fair to good

crop is generally indicated in the far

western states. A good crop of prunes

is being harvested and shipped in Ida-

ho, and a good crop of.pears is also

reported in farm orchards. Citrus

fruits show the need. of rain in Florida.



Live Stock. Hay and Pastures.—

There are some scattered (reports of

hog cholera but in general all classes

of live stock are .in good condition.

There is a good, demand for stock for

feeding. Many grass-fed cattle are

coming to market in- Kansas.



Some third cuttings of alfalfa are in

progress with good yields reported.

Cowpea. and soy-bean hay crops are

y1elding satisfactorily and generally

being cured under favorable condi-

tions. New seedings of clover, that

survived the drought,_.are doing very

well. Alfalfa seed is being harvested

with very good yieldsmoted. Pastures

and ‘meadows are generally very good

except in the South ‘Atlantic states

where rain is needed.
