Onc Farmer’s Marketing Plan

PROGRESSIVE farmer of Montcalm
county,.Mr. H. Brown, has 375 bushels

of Wheat,.2,347 baskets of corn, 582
bushels of oats, about forty-three tons of clo-
ver and mixed hay, seven dairy cows, six
young cattle,‘ twenty-three shoats, and-~will
probably have 2,000 bushels of potatoes. Just
how Mr. Brown intends to market his sur-
plus products is interesting and suggestive.
First of all, the products of the dairy will

» be sold regularly as they are produced. This
‘ is necessary, of course. Through the dairy
he will sell a considerable portion of the
hay,-all the surplus oats over what will be
__ required‘for the horses and for seed, and
Tsomerof. the'corn. The shoats and the four
' head of young cattle, which have been select-
ed" to‘gqftothe shambles, will be disposed of

when ready for market. The exact time for
marketing them can be varied over a few
weeks at the most, giving him a limited
choice of time to catch the market when
conditions seem to be most favorable. These
animals will perhaps consume the remainder
of the hay, all the barley, and most of the
corn.

Mr. Brown will have left the potatoes,
wheat and perhaps some corn to dispose of
according to his best judgment. He has dev
cided how this will be done. His general
policy is to spread his sales over the mar-
keting season as evenly as convenience and
conditions permit. Some of the potatoes
will be sold this fall. Additional consign-
ments will 'go to the station during the cold-
er months,’ and perhaps a quarter of the

2,000 bushels will find its way to the market
next spring. He proposes to make three
loads of the wheat. One of these will be de»
livered about the first of December, the sec-

.ond just before tax time, and the. third some

time in May. The balance of the corn crop
he thinks can be sold to neighbors, since
the amount is certain to be small and there
is always a local demand from farmers who
are feeding stock.

If all farmers would follow the general
policy of distributing their sales over the
year, Mr. Brown believes that many of the
marketing problems would disappear. There
would be far less opportunity for specula-
tion. This opinion, which seems to be eco-
nomically sound, is held by a gradually in~
creasing number of successful farmers.

F the average farm-

 

 

 

 

F or were asked at
deters the present time for
Of Farm his opinion as to the
Profits relative importance

of the factors which

determine farm profits his composite
reply would more than likely dismiss
the subject in the slang vernacular of
the day by the declaration that “There
ain’t no such animal.” Yet the history
of the industry in this country and
many examples in every agricultural
community will serve to show the pos
sibility of profitable farming where the
factors which contribute to farm prof—
its are properly evaluated and made
effective through good management.

In recent years the importance of
better marketing methods has been
stressed to such an extent that many
farmers have come to look upon this
as the most important factor in de-
termining farm profits. But while
there is no doubt that the economic
distribution of farm products is an im-
portant factor in the determination of
farm profits in the aggregate, there is
just as little doubt that from the stand-
point of the individual farmer this is
a minor factor in determining the
profits from his farm as compared with
the factor 01 good farm management.

Good farm management isa compre-
hensive and somewhat indefinite term.
Its best conception means economic
production sustained over a period of
years. This, in turn, means the main-
tenance of soil fertility at its optimum
point, and the planning of each season-
al fill‘lll campaign so as to produce a
maximum of marketable product at a
minimum of labor cost, since labor is
the largest item of cost entering into
crop produi tion.

The fact that no possible saving in
marketing methods can make up for
the wastes of uneconomic production
cannot be successfully questioned. In
fact, much of the benefit which is de-
rived from better marketing methods,
attained through the cooperation of
producers, lies in the production of a
better and more standardized product
which can attain a reputation for qual-
ity in the open market and thu.‘ com-
mand a premium over the common run
of production in its line. To this ex-
tent, better marketing methods be-
come an important factor in better
farming methods. Cooperative com-
modity marketing methods also tend
toward community specialization along
certain lines of production which in
itself is an influence toward economic
production.

Sustained. economic preduction is

undoubtedly the most important factor
in determining farm profits. And this
factor is in turn the composite result
of many minor but important contrib-
uting factors, an of which are worthy
of the thoughtful attention and study
of every farmer. As this attention and
study can best be given during the pe-
riod between the closing of this sea-
son’s farm activities and the beginning
of next season’s farm campaign, it is
our purpose to make this prime factor
in the determination of farm profits,
and as many as possible of the subor-
dinate contributing factors, the sub-
ject of discussion in the columns of
the Michigan Farmer during coming
months. And to the end that these dis‘
cussions may be as practical and as
helpful as possible to Michigan Farm-
er readers they will be confined to
experience articles describing the dif-
ferent methods used in practical field
operations and the degree of success
or failure with which they were at-
tended. We hope that hundreds of
farmers among our readers will con-
tribute their experiences, as will the
Editor from a fund of information
gained in the operation of his own
farm during the past thirty years.

Scores of Michigan Farmer readers
should be able to contribute helpful
thoughts to these discussions. We
trust they will take the initiative in
doing so without a special invitation.
Every idea which will contribute to
the desired end of economic produc-
tion, even to the least of its contribut-
ing factors, is worthy of expression in
this discussion. The reader who has
such an idea should not “Hide it under
a bushel,” but should pass it on for
the consideration and aid of his broth-
er farmers. Do it through the columns
of the Michigan Farmer during the
next few months and you will contrib
ute to the desirable end of making
Michigan agriculture more profitable
and Michigan farmers more prosper-
ous.

Successful stock breeding busi-
Breeder ness are being impor-

tuned by a few field-
men to spend large sums for publicity
on coming public sales. One young
breeder who is about to hold his first
sale has signed a contract to spend
$1,500 for advertising to sell fifty sows.
To this amount he will need to add
many other unavoidable. expenses. It
is safe to state that this heavy over-
head expense is i‘ar greater than the
number of animals to be sold warrants
and unless the breeder has a reserve,
or better luck than the ninety and
nine others who have thoughtlessly
plunged into the breeding enterprise,
he will be following a different line of
business in the near future.

While it is comparatively easy for
the average person to possess himself
quickly with the principles of breed-
ing, it requires a long time to secure
a good degree of information about
the breeds and sufficient experience
to carry on consistent selection and
mating of animals. Outstanding breed-
ers are probably the most painstaking
men in the agricultural class. Their
business requires that they follow a
single line of effort 'for a long term of
years, until the ideals they have are
bred into their stock sufficiently to be
transmitted from one generation to
another. 11’, then, on the other hand,
it is possible for a man to bring to-
gether a few animals, buy a few pages
of advertising and thereby put his
name on the map as a breeder, the
business would have no attractions for
the persistent, careful, painstaking
person. In other words, those who
have spent scores of years in building
up valuable lines of breeding had, un-
der such circumstances, better quit.

Publicity is necessary. The old, as
well as the young breeder must let

a. sale and what he proposes to sell.
But there is reason in all things and
the breeder should use “horse sense"
when considering the amount he will
expend in telling prospective buyers
what he has for sale. There should
be some relation between this amount
and the value of the animals to be
sold. Fieldmen, or anyone else, who
seek to persuade the breeder to go
beyond this reasonable line are not
working for the best interests of the
breeding business.

paratively few per~
sons take extreme care to prevent
fires. Only occasionally is one such
found. This occasional person keeps
his premises and buildings tidy and
free from refuse which would feed a
fire or start spontaneous combustion;
he carefully houses such fuels as ker-
osene and gasoline, watches chimneys,
keeps matches in protected boxes,
burns rubbish at a safe distance from
buildings, provides all structures with
well—grounded lightning rods, posts
signs warning smokers, introduces saf-
er methods of heating and lighting, has
ladders and pails as well as an ade-
quate water supply ready for emergen-
cies and within easy reach he is quite
certain to place some good fire extin
guishers.

Lack of interest in these matters is
responsible for the ”tremendous loss
which the American public suffers each
year on, account of fire. It has been
estimated by people who are in a po-
sition to judge that fully one—half of
our fire loss is due to carelessness and
could be avoided by reasonable pre-
cautions. This is particularly true in
rural places where the opportunity for
fires is greater and the means of pro-
tection are less than in cities.

During the past week impressive
lessons on the dangers of fire have
been taught the children in our public
schools. These lessons have been told
through plays, in addresses or by par-
ades. This deviation from the routine
of school work is very commendable
since the maximum of protection
against this destructive agent can only
be attained by inculcating in the minds
of those who will make up the next
generation the necessity for and the
methods w‘hereby this protection may
be secured. However, these lessons
ought also to be supplemented with
the active cooperation of parents in
working out the many plans designed
to prevent fire loss. Such cooperation
is not only well worth while in itself
but will go far toward impressing the
lessons learned in school upon the
minds of the boys and girls.

UR 23,000,000 dairy cows in the
United States produce on the av-
erage about 4,000 pounds of milk

and, 160 pounds of butter-fat a year.
According to 40,000 yearly reCOrdS just
tabulated by the United States Depart‘
ment of Agriculture, the average cow-
testing association cow produces 5,980
pounds of milk and 246 pounds of but-
ter-fat a year.

The highest milk pro-
ducer in the world yielded 37,3810

pounds of milk, and the highest pro-
ducer of butter—fat yielded 1,252 pounds
of butter-fat in one year.

nary cow compares with the best.

for improving the average dairy cow.

‘ She can be improved and at a profit

where her owner will affiliate himself
with an efficient cow-testing associa-
tion so that an accurate measurement

may be made of her food consumption
and production.

Expensive Feeds Unwarranted.

Supplying expensive feeds to a low-
producing cow is analogous to shovel-
ing costly coal into the firebox of a
leaky boiler—the farmer who keeps
such cows is seldom'burdened with an
income tax. Like a factory, the dairy
cow transforms raw material, silage,
hay and concentrates into the finished
product—milk. In that way she fur-
nishes a market for home-grown feed.
Whether that market will be good or
bad depends in part upon the way the

. cow is fed and in part upon the cow.

It is much easier to send
the butter-fat manufactured from the
surplus crops to the creamery, than to
haul the bay to town. Furthermore, it
is more profitable, because it keeps
the soil fertility at home. In selling to
dairy cows -the farmer has a wide
choice of markets—good, bad and very
good. If a wheat buyer offers a cent
or two a bushel more than other buy-
ers he gets our wheat; if a wool buyer
offers a half cent a pound more for
our wool, we sell to him; but if one
cow returns $3.00 for a dollar’s worth
of feed and her stable mate only $2.00
we scarcely notice it. 'Here is the

the butter-fat test and to keep feed and
production records.
Smaller Herd Paid Better.

A dairyman in Virginia reports that
when he began testing for production
his herd consisted of thirty-one cows.
After weighing and testing the milk
for a few weeks he reduced the num-
ber of cows to twenty-six. These he
fed according to known production and
obtained a higher total yield than had
formerly resulted from a larger herd.
Before the end of the year he reduced
the number of cows to twenty and
they produced more than the original
thirty-one. Through rigid culling and
feeding according to production the
herd was finally reduced to ten well-
fed, well-bred cows which produced al-
most as much milk and butter—fat as
the twenty. Since then the herd has
gradually been increased until today
it consists of twenty cows, which pro-
duce annually more than twice as
much milk and butter-fat, and many
times as much net profit, as the foun-
dation herd of thirty—one cows.

In one cow—testing association the

eraged 552 pounds of milk less than
those whose ages were known. In but-
ter-fat production they were twenty-
seven pounds below,_ and in income
above cost of feed they were $10.78
below the average of those whose ages
were on record.

In a Lenawee County Cow—testing
Association the records of the thirty-
three cows whose owners did not know
the day of freshening were relatively
low all along the line. In milk produc-
tion their average for the year was
2,536 pounds below the average of the
others. In butter—fat production they
were seventy-nine pounds less, and
short by $37.06 in equalng the income
above the cost of feed obtained from
the average of those cows whose own-
ers knew the dates of freshening. This
shows irrefutably that in dairying the
men who have a fairly complete knowl-
edge of their cows have weeded out
the poorer producing cows.

Old Cripple Proves Best.

Before a Missouri farmer joined the,

cow-testing association he owned a
good herd in which was an old crip-
pled cow named “Goldie.” At that
time he was trying to sell her for $75.
To his great surprise his analysis by
the Babcock test not. only placed poor
old crippled Goldie at the head of the
herd, but at the head of the associa-

tion. Her yearly production, as shown;
by the records, was 9,300 pounds of
milk and 526 pounds of butter-fat, and
her yearly earnings above cost of feed
were $267. Goldie belonged to a herd
whose average yearly butter-fat prOd
duction was 360 pounds, yet in produc-
tion of butter-fat she was almost fifty
per cent above the average of the
herd. Among the cows on test in the
468 cow—testing associations there are
many like Goldie. The true produc-
tion records furnished by the cow-test.-
ing associations have prevented the
sale of a large number of unassuming
but fairly high-producing cows.

In a certain association 511 cows
were on test. ,One herd of sixteen
cows made an average butter-fat pro-
duction of 306 pounds; another herd
of ninety-one cows averaged only 155
pounds. From the first herd, the aver-
age income above cost of feed was $75
and! from the second herd, sixty—four
cents. The average cow in the former
herd produced more income above cost
of feed than the combined production
of the latter herd. It would require

117 cows like these in the second herd '

to produce as much income above cost
of feed as obtained from the average
cow in the first herd.

$5,000 Bull Brings $50.

A few years ago a Wisconsin farmer
sold his registered Holstein bull to a
local butcher. At the time the bull
was sold no records had been made by
any of the daughters. Within one
year, eleven of the daughters fresh-
ened between two and three years of
age. Records of milk and butter-fat
production were kept and to the farm-
er‘s astonishment the average milk
production was 15,047 pounds and the
average butter-fat production 571
pounds. Long before these records
were computed the bull was dead and
his hide converted into leather. Be—
cause there were no records a $5,000
bull was sold for $50. A cow—testing
association tests the bulls by keeping
the production records of the daugh~
ters; the bull association makes it posd
sible to keep a. bull until his daugh-
ters are tested. Such associations
would have spared the bull under dis-
cussion.

Every dairy herd should be carefully
selected. Every care-fully selected herd
should be headed by a, good bull. A
good bull gets productive daughters.
Such daughters greatly excel their
dams. The dams may be selected
scrubs; the daughters become produc-

Who’s Who in Agriculture-"19mg 1146021726

H. BAILEY, Cornell’s great ex-

l to dean of Agriculture, has recent‘

ly issued a "Who’s Who” among

American agriculturists and farmers.

terment of American country life.

As

the author of some twenty-five vol-

umes on agriculture and rural

life

subjects, Doctor Bailey is just the man
to edit such a book as this’country life

“Who’s Who.”

(“Rus” is the name of

the book, being the Latin word for

country) .

Of course there are hun—

"'dreds of names of professors in the

‘, .

agricultural colleges, and experiment-

ers and experts in the employ of the
Department of Agriculture. There are
the names of the editors of farm jour-
nals, and a pretty good sprinkling of
country preachers. County agents
loom up with a long list of entries to
their credit. But the feature that in-
terests us today is, what of the men
who are actually making a living on
the farm? Are there many such names?
And how were they trained, so as to
make a success conspicuous enough to
get them included in such a directory?

The time was, when a graduate of
an agricultural college was regarded
as a curiosity and more or less as a.

joke. If he made a failure of a crop
his neighbors had the laugh on him, or
thought they did. Of course, none of
them had ever had a crop failure. But
even if they had, they expected this
fellow who could write some letters
after his name, this peripatetic ency-
clopedia, this fount of agricultural
wisdom, who had spent four years
studying under the “perfessors,” to
raise bumper crops every time, and
show the world how it ought to be
done. I remember an agricultural
graduate who made some mistake in'
hitching up a neighbor’s team one day,
getting the lines twisted, I think it

was. He did not hear the last of it
for many a year. But that is changed
now, at least to a large extent. The
fellow with the letters after his name
is having his innings. Not, of course,
that he is the only farmer worth speak-
ing to, but that he is making a success
of digging a living out of the soil.
And here is this directory before
us. It contains the names of a great
many farmers, and the majority of
them are either graduates of college,or
have spent some time studying in col‘
lege. In short, “Rus” speaks mighty
Well for the men who have devoted
time and money to educating them-

selves for the country life service.

Two or three characteristics are
,manifest about these successful farm-
, ers. The name show that the educat-
ed and successful farmer, in a very
large percentage of cases, is not only
a farmer, but he is a particular kind
of a farmer. He is a fruit grower, or
a poultryman, or the breeder of a par-
ticular breed of cattle. Professional
training has helped him to become a
specialist. Not only has this training
been the open gate to admit him to
success in his line, but it has enabled

him to sell his knowledge to. other
people. Thus, a good many of these
farmers are lecturers at farmers’ in-
stitutes, or they are organizers of co-
operative societies, or they are officers
in live stock associations. In a good
many instances one finds men claSsi—
fied as "farmer and writer,” “farmer
and director," of this or that company,
“farmer and experimenter,” “farmer
and breeder.” Thus, it comes out clear-
ly that a man's time spent in college not
only enables him to think more clearly
on his farm problems, but it gives him

"a ‘wider range of interests, so that he
is of more use to the outside world.
In this connection it is important'to
note that men who have taken short!
course training at 'the agricultural col-
leges show up well. The rapid, intense‘
courses that these men take, develops
them and fits them for greater useful-
ness. And in this connection there
comes the county agent, one of the big
factors in modern farming, and the
county agent almost always has had
college, as well as practical training.
This is not to say- because a man

can show a diploma he 'is‘~‘guaraiiteed

A diploma will
not guarantee a man success in any
line of work. In all fields it depends
on the man. Seine men achieve amaz-
ing success with .almost’ no schooling.
The writer knows a man who has
made a fortune in farming if not a
million, well along toward it—who
never went to school beyond the fifth
grade. But he is a genius. The rank
and file of men do better, with sound,
professional training, such as is found _
in American agricultural colleges.

 

 

 

LATE AGRICULTURAL NEWS

 

 

 

 

 

‘ POTATO GROWERS UNITE TO
MARKET THEIR PRODUCT.

HE potato growers of New York
state have united under the name
of The Empire State Potato Growers’
Association. They have already begun
operating. Their headquarters are in
Rochester, New York, with Mr. L. J.
Steel as general manager. Mr. Steel
was formerly farm bureau manager in
Aleans county, New York. This asso-
ciation will sell potatoes grown by
members throughout New York state.
Farmers in New York state are be-
ing well organized. There are three
important organizations now function-
ing in this state, the one mentioned
above, the Dairymen’s League and the
New York State Fruit Packing Corpor-
ation.-—F. A. KUHN.

THE USE OF REFRIGERATOR
CARS.

HE Department of Agriculture is

urging shippers, carriers and re-
ceivers to make more efficient use of
refrigerator cars. There is need for
20,000 additional fruit and vegetable
refrigerator cars to move the large
volume of perishable farm crops now
ready for market, and this can be met
only by prompt unloading. Investiga-
tions by the bureau of markets show
that many receivers are holding the
refrigerator cars as cold storage ware-
houses instead of unloading them
promptly and permitting their return
movement to producing sections. The
result is that there are thousands of
idle refrigerator cars at a time when
railroads are finding it difficult to pro-
vide sufficient cars for the perishable
products.

MILK PRODUCERS RAISE PRICE
TO DEALERS.

HE Dairymen’s League increased

the price of milk for the month of
October one cent. To Buffalo, New
York dealers the October price will be
$3.65 per 100 pounds as against $3.18
for September.~F. A. K.

WAR FINANCE LOANS.

IRECTOR MEYER of the War Fi-

nance Corporation wants it dis-
tinctly understood that the corpora—
tion does not make loans to individu‘
als. Much confusion, he says, has
been created by misleading published
reports indicating that the corporation
has a fund for distribution on some
pro-rata basis among farmers and
banks financing farmers. As a result
the corporation is receiving applica-
tions from individuals requesting their
“share of the billion dollar agricultural
credit.” The corporation is authorized
to make advances to banks, bankers,
or trust companies, or to cooperative
associations of producers which have
made loans for agricultural or live
stock purposes. The corporation has
made no allocation of funds among
sections or institutions and it has no
authority to do so. Each application

is considered on its merits. For this
reason applications for a “share of the
corporation’s funds,” based upon some
supposed allotment, serve no useful
purpose and only tend needlessly to
increase the corporation’s correspond-
ence.

CROP CONDITIONS IN CLOVER-
LAND.

R. L. M. GEISMAR, agricultural

agent of Houghton county, re-
cently journeyed through several up-
per peninsula counties and has report-
ed on crop conditions in this territory
to the Daily Mining Gazette, of Hough-
ton. He found that, as regards rain-
fall, Ontonagon, Baraga and Marquette
counties had fareltf rather better than
Houghton county, which is likely to
bring a fair yield of potatoes in the
favored counties. ' He found the corn
crop everywhere “an overwhelming
success,” and that tomatoes were do—
ing well. Buckwheat and millet show-
ed exceptional yields, he says, but oth-
er crops are below average, the wheat
crop being only half or so of a normal
yield. Oats will do even worse but
rye better than this. Hay was found a
fifty per cent crop.

WOULD SELL POTATOES MORE
DIRECT.

EMANDS of the members of the

Michigan Potato Growers’ Ex-
change at Cadillac that it deal more
directly with the consumers, seem in
line to be satisfied as a result of an
offer made by Herbert F. Baker, of
Cheboygan county, former president
of the Exchange, to the Michigan State
Federation of Labor in convention at
Grand Rapids last week, to sell its
members potatoes in carlots at whole-
sale prices. The delegates sanctioned
the proposal as much as they were em-
powered to do so, and when Mr. Baker
returned to the exchange’s headquar-
ters in Cadillac he took with him the
names and addresses of each delegate
through whom it is expected business
relations later will be developed. If
the trade pact works satisfactorily,
Mr. Baker explained that it would act
as an entering wedge, opening the way
for other cooperative deals of similar
nature—R.

BETTER ROADS FOR THE SAME
MONEY.

UCH road tax money could be
saved through the timely and
proper spreading of gravel as it is
dumped upon the road and the average
farmer-tomarket road could be kept in
one hundred per cent better condition
by the orthodox use of the road drag
and grader. Detailed information is
given in the following letter from
State Highway Commissioner Rogers:

Even though the state spending vast
sums for bond money in road construc-
tion, it is still true that the greatest
road tax in Michigan is the tax which

M

‘the people in the rural sections vote

upon themselves at the annual town

meetings. Last year this tax amount.
ed to $18,495,380.04.

As much of this money is expended
in hauling gravel to roads, a word or
two as to the application of gravel and
the maintenance of gravel roads after-
wards, may not be amiss. Too com-
monly.a firstoclass job is Spoiled by
neglecting the gravel after it is dump-
ed, too often not spread, upon the
road. In fact, it is left to pack itself
and immediately becomes full of
bumps and hollows which become so
hard that they can hardly be smoothed
except by using a scarifier.

This could easily and cheaply be pre-
vented by spreading the gravel with
the use of the four-wheeled grader fol-
lowed by a spike-tooth harrow and the
road drag. In fact, the gravel which
is placed on each day should be spread
in this way and made as smooth as
possible before» quitting work at night.
Later the constant use of the road drag
would make many of these township
gravel roads which have been cheaply
built, as pleasant to drive over as
many of the more costly state high.-
ways.

When and How to Drag.

Probably no implement used in road
building or maintenance has done so
much to keep the roads constantly
smooth as the use of the patrol road
drag and grader. As soon as the frost
begins to come out of the ground in
the spring, use the road drag. Use it
frequently, especially after rains, unti
the ground freezes in the fall. When
the road softens during the winter
months, smooth it up with the road
drag so the surface will freeze smooth.

Hitch to the drag in such a way that
it Will be draWn at an angle, forcing
some gravel towards the center of the
road. If the drag cuts too deep, short-
en the hitch, if too little, lengthen it.
Drag one side of the road, then the
other, lastly making a trip down the
center. If the road is not smooth, ride
the drag, stepping on it sufficiently to
vary the cutting depth to work out
high places in the gravel and fill the
low ones.

Strive toward auniform crown in all
gravel roads. When you drive over
the road you will readily detect if it is
too crowning. If too flat it will hold
water.

Large stones embedded in the sur-
face should be taken out as it is im-
possible to handle a road drag proper-
ly when it is bobbing over stones.

One year’s faithful use of the road
drag will convince the taxpayers of
any township that the money had been
well expended. Won’t you try it?

QUESTIONNAIRE ON FARM
PRICES.

ICHIGAN farmers are to tell the

Joint Congressional Commission
of Agricultural Inquiry what they have
paid for necessities and the prices
they have received for their crops dur
ing the period of 1913-1921, inclusive
says the State Farm Bureau, whicl
has sent out to each Countvaarm Bu
reau on - September 28 an American

Farm Bureau questionnaire for that
purpose.

The questionnaire to Michigan coun.
ties is going to every County Farm Bu-
reau in the nation and was prepared
by the American Farm Bureau Feder-
ation at the request of the Joint Com
mission, which would have the data to
assist it in its investigation of the
causes responsible for the present con-
dition of agriculture as a business.

The price survey questionnaire has
been divided into two sections, taking
into consideration articles which are
considered representative, and it takes
in the country as a whole and is adapt<
ed to all farmers. It seeks' to obtain
from authoritative local records the
price paid for or received for each.
commodity on March 1 and November
1 of each year from 1912 to 1921 in«
clusive, together with a description of
the changes in quality, size, etc., of
the article in question and other infor«
mation which would be of interest to
the commission. ‘

The questionnaire seeks the price of
various articles of food on the above
dates as an indication of the general
trend of prices throughout the year,
the price paid by the farmer for cloth-
ing, household furnishings, production
equipment, fertilizer and spray mate-
rial, seeds, feeds, fuel and lighting. On
the other hand, the- questionnaire
would have authentic information on
the price paid for various farm crops
and .products throughout that period
for purposes of comparison and pre-
sentation to the Joint Commission,
which is now studying farmers’ prob‘
lems.

CONTROL OF CELERY- BLIGHT
STUDIED.

FOUR important meetings were held

near Hudsonville on September 29
for the purpose of studying damage
done by celery blight and the results
of fertilizer experiments. Ezra Levin,
former muck specialist at the Michi~
gan Agricultural College, but now with
the State Department of Agriculture,
and County Agent C. P. Milham, of
Grand Haven, explained blight pre-
ventatives and pointed out the value
of fertilization. Demonstrations were
held at farms owned by Seth Coburn,
Henry Gerrits, Joe Patmos and Harm
Molter. Celery blight is causing thou‘
sands of dollars loss to the growers
this year.—-R.

A BUYER’S OPINION OF FARM BU.
REAU WOOL.

R. C. J. FAUCETT, director of

wool marketing of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, reports that
a wool buyer for a large eastern mill
recently made this remark when ex-
amining a large graded line of 1921
Iowa pooled wools: “It is simply won-
derful to note the improved condition
in which the'pooled wools are present-
ed. If I were buying these grades, I
would simply order them sacked and
would not examine each ,fieeceto see
if his true to grade, as is mercenary.

 


 

 
 
 
 

 

NE needs but to ramble through
Van Buren county to realize that
(it is typical of Michigan. Like
the state of which it is a part, it is
known for its diversity in crops, soils
and successes. Its soils range from
light sandy to heavy clay, and it stands
as one of the leaders among counties
in such widely different agricultural
activities as pure—bred cattle, poultry,
fruit, mint and summer resorters.

Van Buren county has also been
prominent in modern agricultural de—
velOpment. It has the oldest fruit so-
ciety in the state, the South Haven
and Casco Pomological Society, which
has held its meetings continuously
since 1871. It is the pioneer county in
successful cooperative farmers’ asso-
ciations, as it has been due to the
success of the South Haven Fruit Ex-
change and the Southern Michigan
Grape Association that other successful
cooperative associations have been
formed. It is also the first county in
the state to take up poultry culling,
the first demonstration being held at
the home of E. A. Wang at Paw Paw.

This county was also first in the
wheat variety test in 1918 and I919
when it thoroughly demonstrated the
value of Red Rock wheat. It is now
organizing its second cow-testing asso-
ciation which makes it the second in
the county in the state having two as-
sociations. Its Paw Paw and Lawton
grape district, which has been the
chief factor in making Michigan
grapes nationally known, makes the
greatest grape-producing county in the
state.

Its progressiveness in agricultural
work is indicated by the fact that it
is and has been the home of many ag-
ricultural leaders. Foremost among
these is Dr. L. H. Bailey, the world’s
foremost horticulturist and agricultur-
al leader, who was born at South Hav-
en. It was there as a barefoot boy that
Dr. Bailey fostered his love for things
that grow. Mr. T. T. Lyon, the coun-
try’s greatest expert on fruit varieties
in the eighties and nineties, lived at
South Haven and at his death turned
over to the state the South Haven

might be continued. The late C. J.
Monroe, South Haven, and Mr. Jason
Woodman, of Paw Paw, have also been
very active in Michigan’s agricultural
development. '
Being a progressive agricultural
county, its county agent is most likely
to be a progressive man. In this the
county is fortunate, for we have never
seen a man who has put more “pep”
and enthusiasm in agricultural work
than County Agent W. C. Eckard.
Farming is bred in the bone with him,
and he is at it most of the time from
sunrise to sunset in some agricultural
work. Because of the great variety of
the needs of the farmers of the county,
Mr. Eckard has not specialized on any
single project, but he has been very
active in helping the farmers tolhelp
themselves in the various lines of ag-
ricultural activity which abound in the
county. Chief among the projects
which he is giving his attention is fer-
tilizer work on fruit. This work has
shown the value of nitrate of soda or
sulphate of ammonia on fruit trees.
These tests prove that from three to
five pounds of either of these nitro-

fruit in 1920. During the same year
his four acres of cherries brought in
more than $3,000. He has three acres
of asparagus which brings in an aver-
age of $1,000 a year.

T. B. \Noodman farms 100 acres, of
which twenty-five in grapes produced
167 tons of fruit in 1920. Mr. VVood—
man also grows about seven acres of
potatoes each year, the five-year av-
erage yield of which has been 260
bushels of marketable potatoes per
acre. Mr. Woodman started on his
present location near Paw Paw about
twelve years ago with little besides a
good name and a grim determination
to win. Now he is a director in the
local bank, and has other interests.

M. B. Buskirk & Son work 320 acres,
seventy—five acres of which are in
grapes and ten in cherries. In 1919,
one and one-quarter acres of cherries
produced $1,100 worth of fruit, and in

ADVERSE POSSESSION.

 

I have a forty-acre farm in Berrien
county, Michigan, which is the back
forty of an eighty-acre tract lying on
the public road. My property includes
a private road one rod wide running
through the front forty to the public
road. My deed and the abstract for
the entire eighty-acre tract states defi-
nitely that no obstruction is to be
placed in this road, but the owner of
the front forty placed a gate at the
end of my private road without my
permission. Since the gate has been
there for nearly fifteen years, and I
do not wish him to get an easement
by adverse use, I want to know what
steps to take to have the obstruction
removed. Is an oral notice to remove
the gate sufficient?—-A. M. 0

Notice would be no good. Only ac-
tion or removal will suffice. No notice
is necessary. Merely remove the gate
and keep it removed, and no adverse
title will ever accrue—J. R. R.

MAINTAINING PARTITION
FENCES.

 

A owned a house and lot in a small
village and many years ago he fenced
it in with a poultry fence, three sides
of which formed a line fence. Some
years since fire destroyed the busi-
ness portion of the town and people
moved away, leaving the houses va-
cant, he among the rest, and the build-
ings were sold for the lumber, torn
down and moved away. A year ago he
sold his house which was torn down
and moved away. Last spring he took
down all his poultry fence, which
leaves the adjoining property exposed
to the highway, and that is the situa-
tion at the present time. Had he a
right to remove this fence after it had
been used for a line fence for twenty
years or more ‘f—R. D. F.

No provision of the statutes of this
state fully covers the question asked
and we find no decision on it in this
state. In some other states it has been
held that though the land has been
enclosed and the line fence divided,
there is no obligation to maintain the
fence. other than the loss of remedy
for trespassing animals on the land of
the negligent party, and the liability
on him if his cattle escape through his
dilapidated part of the fence; and that
interpretation of the statutes is rea-
sonable, and it is believed would be
followed by our court. On the other
hand, it has been held by a few courts
that the adjoining proprietor has ac-
quired a species of ownership in the
Whole fence, whereby he is entitled to
an injunction to prevent removal of
it, or damages for the removal—J. R.

AN ABSTRACT OF TITLE.

 

I bought some land in Manistee
county, Michigan, from a land com-
pany, and I have a warranty deed for
same, but the people tell me here that
my deed is not good without an ab-
stract of title. Is this true?~—M. E. G.

An abstract of title is a memoran-
dum of the records affecting any par
ticular piece of land. It is not a copy
of the records but an abridgement of
them. It has no force or validity in
and of itself, and may be made by any
person. Its value depends on the rep-
utation and care of the person making
the memorandum. The business of
making abstracts used to be done by
all lawyers; but of late years it is con-
ducted almost entirely by persons
making a specialty of making ab
stracts, and who for that purpose makte
a. Set of books showing the abstract of
title to all the lands in the county.
It often happens that the title is not
in the person who appears by the rec-
ords to be the owner; and in such cas-
les one buying in reliance on the rec-
ords might get no title at all. For
example, if someone has put on record
a. forged deed, or if the title has been
acquired by adverse possession against

I

 

the person having'the record title, a
purchase from the record title owner
would pass to the buyer no title at all.
Obtaining an abstract of the title does
not make the title any better, nor lack
of it any worse. , The only advantage
of an abstract is to enable one to as-
certain what the records show without
going to look at the records himself.
The records do not make title. They
are merely notice to purchasers of
what the records show. All persons
dealing with the title are bound at
their peril to take notice of what ap-
pears of record. It is because the rec-
ord is not a guaranty of title that the
Michigan State Grange and other or-
ganizations have endeavored to obtain
a law making the record title. This
is known as the Torrens System.—

MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR CE-
MENT TANK.

 

I am planning on building a cement
tank with walk on each side to pre-
vent the usual mud holes that develop
from the tramping of the animals.

METAL FOR FENCE POSTS.

 

Will angle steel fence posts 11/2x11/z
x14; inches thick, seven feet long, give
satisfactory service, to repair woven
wire fencing fifty-eight inches high?
The original posts were cedar and are
rotting off on sandy soil.~G. F.

Steel fence posts are used with some
degree of satisfaction. I do not know
that the size given, 1%x11/2x%~inch
thick and seven feet long are the cor-
rect size. It is our opinion that the
length of seven feet would not be suf~
ficient to give good anchorage for a
fence which is practically five feet
high as not more than two feet would
go into the ground. Anchorage could
be provided, however, by setting the
foot ,of the post in concrete. If angle

steel is used for fence posts limprob-

ably would be wise to use only the
manufactured kind. Ordinarily, mild
steel cut up for that purpose would de-
teriorate very rapidly coming in con-
tact with the moist surface of the
ground. Manufactured posts in addi-
tion to being resistant to rust are eith-
er galvanized or coated with a heavy
protective paint—H. H. M.

ALSIKE HAY FOR STEERS.

 

I am feeding thirty-three Hereford
steers. I am feeding about three
pounds of ground corn and oats twice
a day and ensilage and all the alsike
clover hay they will eat. Also feed
about one pound of salt. Why should
their bowels keep so laxative Is it
the alsike cloVer hay, or what can I
feed to stop the trouble?

A. E. P.

Oakland Co.

I cannot tell from your inquiry
whether you are feeding one pound of
salt a day to the thirty-three steers,
or Whether you are feeding one pound
to each steer. If you are feeding one
pound to each steer this is an exces-
sive amount of salt and would cause
this laxative condition of the bowels.
Two ounces of salt per day, per ani-
mal, is sufficient; in other words,
about four pounds of salt per day for
the thirty-three steers. I do not think
the alsike clover hay ought to produce

 

Plan for Cement Tank.

this condition unless there is some-
thing abnormal about it. I am of the
opinion that you ought to feed two or
three pounds of cottonseed meal per
day to each steer in addition to the
corn and oats which they are getting.
Cottonseed meal would also tend to
check this laxative condition. Six
pounds of grain per day for good big
Herefords is not a sufficient amount
if you want to get them off this spring
for beef. You could commence with
one pound of cottonseed meal and
gradually increase till you are feeding
four or five pounds, still keeping up
the six pounds of corn and oats. If you
cut down the amount of salt and add
cottonseed meal ,I am of the opinion
that it will do away with this laxative
condition—C. C. L.

 

ROPEY MILK.

 

I have four milch cows running in
wild pasture and when the milk and
cream stands it becomes stringy.
Please advise me as to the probable
cause.——~J. L. C.

In this instance, the udders of the
cows are undoubtedly affected with
what is known as “Ropey Milk Bacte-
ria.” They get this bacteria from wad-
ing through muddy places in the pass
ture or in stagnant water or they can
find it in various other environments.

This stringy condition.of the milk
can be entirely overcome by washing
the dairy utensils and the udders of
the cows, especially taking pains to
bathe the ends of the teats or the op-
ening of the _milk duct with a Very
weak solution of sulphuric acid. You
can wash all .qffyour dairy sq... ‘ ‘ '

   
 

 

strainer, milk pails, milk pans as you
do ordinarily and then put a little sul-
phuric acid in the rinsing water and
rinse thoroughly. This weak solution
of sulphuric acid can be applied to the
udder with the hand. You do not want
it strong enough so that it will affect
your hands in the least.

I think if you would do this two or
three times that it will be effective.
However, if the muddy places or the
stagnant water is left, it will occur
again. If you can keep them out of
these places, when once the bacteria
are eliminated, you will have no furth~
er trouble, but if it is impossible to
keep them out, as it might be the case
in a wild pasture, you will have to re.
peat the treatment if the trouble oc-
curs again.

 

REMOVING WARTS FROM TEATS.

 

Please let me know what would take
warts off of cows’ teats. I have a four-
year-old Holstein that is giving from
twenty to twenty-five pounds of milk
at a milking, but she is getting so
many warts on her teats that it is
hard to milk her. I have tried castor
oil and all kinds of stuff, but without

results.

Wayne Co. T. W. G.

You do not state whether'these are
numerous fine long warts or large
short ones. The fine long warts can
be removed by tying a linen or silk
thread tight around them as near to
the teat as possible. This stops the
circulation and they will drop off in a.
short time, but the larger warts; how-
ever, sometimes it is difficult to cord
them with strings. If you can do so
this will remove them, otherwise about
the best remover I have found is to
wash the teats with a weak solution
of sulphuric acid. Warts are a pecu-
liar growth and sometimes they re-
main on for a long time with any
kind of treatment and then again they
disappear with no treatment, just as
they do off one’s hands.

 

ALFALFA AFTER RYE.

 

I have a piece of sandy ground that
is planted to corn.
falfa on this ground next summer.
Would it be all right to sow rye this
fall and plow under in the spring as
cover crop for the ground this winter?

Eaton Co. F. J. C.

If you sow alfalfa alone next spring,
seeding ought to be deferred until
some time in June to give a change
to form a good seed-bed. Alfalfa is
a little slow in starting and weeds are
liable to get a start and retard the
growth of alfalfa.

If you seed this ground to rye this
fall, of course, it will act as a cover
crop and prevent erosion. The rye
plant will also prevent soluble plant
food from being leached out of the
soil but to form a good seed-bed for
alfalfa in June, the ground should be
plowed down early in the spring so
that proper cultivation will produce
the desired seed-bed and destroy the
weeds. The chances for a good stand
of alfalfa are good if you seed by this
method. However, this rye could be
plowed down early in the spring, tak-
ing pains to compact the soil and seed
to oats or barley at the rate of about
one bushel per acre and seed your al-
falfa with this nurse crop. If the sea-
son is dry the barley or oats can be
cut early for bay to give the entire
ground to alfalfa. The barley or oats
will grow quickly and smOther most
of the weeds so they will not interfere

with the growth of the alfalfa. Which- '9
ever method you choosie, do not for.-

on which to base our agriculture

is one of farmers who own their
own land. This makes for stability,
contentment and' prosperity.

There is little cheap land left in
this country. Even in the faCe of fall-
ing prices of all sorts of equipment,
commodities and live stock, it now re-
Quires so much money to equip and
conduct a farm that it is increasingly
impractical for the man and wife with
small means, no matter how willing
and able they are to work long hours,
to buy their own farm, and operate it
at a profit.

The only way in which most of our
ambitious young farmers can finance
the purchase of a farm is to assume a
heavier mortgage. Now it is a curious
fact that the cash rent of most farms
is lower than the interest charges
against the purchase value. of these
same farms. The man who buys a
farm on contract or an excessive mort<
gage is really paying a high rent, and
should he, through one misfortune or
other, be unable to pay interest when
due, he stands a good chance of hav-
ing the farm taken away from him, and
of losing all the money he puts into
the farm, and all of his time.

Therefore, while ownership is un-
doubtedly to be preferred to tenancy,
a limited amount of tenancy is to be
preferred to any substitutes for it,
such as more laborers, or more owner-
ship under heavier mortgages.

A. DMITTEDLY, the ideal system up-

Farm Tenancy on Increase

An analysis made in Wisconsin for
a period of three years of 265 owned
fa'rms, 148 share rented farms, and
forty-five cash rented farms, showed
$400 higher net farm income for the
rented farms than) for owned farms.
This is largely because tenant farmers
work harder than the owners. In the
owner class are always to be found a
great many farmers who have quit
working hard or have become out of
date in their methods. Too. many ten-
ant farmers work so hard that they do
not take time to live properly. Mort-
gaged farm owners work even harder
than tenants.

The general tendency in leasing ar-
rangements is towards greater defi-
niteness in agreements, towards more
workable methods of dividing expens-
es and receipts, and towards the adop-
tion of arrangements more conducive
to good agriculture.

Longer leases are the key to better
tenancy. The man _who moves from

one farm to another takes off all he:
can, and puts back as little as he must. '
Wise, indeed, is the landlord who has,
found a good tenant who will give him E
every reasonable inducement to re-‘

main. As lack of working capital so
often spells the difference between
failure and success even on a rented
farm, the broad visioned landlord who
has a capable tenant will make it his
business to see to it that. his tenant
has money to run the farm properly.
W. A. FREEHOFF.

 

 

1922 flutomoéi/e Tours Planned

 

 

Grangers and_Tourists Enjoy Program of Music, Declamations and Addresses
m the Woodlot of George B. Horton at Fruit Ridge.

HIS is in reply to letters asking

for information on the Michigan

Farmers’ Automobile tours for
1922. Several cars have already been
registered, some for both tours—two
trips are now being planned for next
August.

The first tour from southern Michi-
gan» to Niagara Falls, will take the
first two Weeks in August. The second
tour will be from southern Michigan
to Mackinac, and we expect a number
of Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania
farmers and their wives to join us at
the initial camp, which will be in Bat-
tle Creek, and possibly on the military
parade ground of Camp Custer. The

second tour will start about August 16

and take ten days or more for the
round trip.

The registration fee for each car in
either tour will be three dollars. This
assures the car owner a place in the
caravan and camp all along either
route. He can make his selection of
the route when he registers and can
change to either route any time before
the’ tour starts. Several have announco

,edthey will go on both tours.

The route to Niagara Falls starting
.th of August, from our first camp

in the Horton cow pasture, will be to
Fremont, Ohio, where we will have a
fine camp on the fair ground. Next
day to Akron, where we will camp and
have been promised a wonderfully fine
program by the municipal and civic
officials and the grange and farm bu-
reau of that section. From there our
route will probably be by way of Sal-
em, Youngstown, Meroer, Pennsylvan-
ia, Franklin, on City, Titusville,
Jamestown and along Chautauqua
Lake to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. We
will have a fine camp site close to the
falls and stay four days. The return
route will probably be by way of Buf-
falo, Erie, Ashtabuia, Cleveland, San-
dusky, Toledo and home.

Shortly after the return from the
the Niagara trip those who go on the
tour to Mackinac will gather at Camp
Custer, Battle Creek. A big fair,
grange and farm bureau program will
attract thousands of farmers and their
families to the food city, following
which the tourists will begin their
travels north along the west Michigan
pike. Further announcement of the
details of this journey, which have

'not as yet been fully worked out, will,

be Inade later.7—J. H. Baown.

FARMERS ARE ACTIVE IN LAND

HOUSANDS of acres of cut-over

Livingston, land clearing specialist at
the Michigan Agricultural College
Who is basing his prediction upon the

GETTING THE CELLAR READY
FOR STORING THE FARM
PRODUCTS.

 

HE rotting of vegetables, such as

potatoes, carrots, cabbage, etc.
last year was the result of fungus and
bacterial attack. The extreme mild-
ness of the winter was responsible for
the severity of the rotting. The activ-
ities. of the organisms causing decay
are speeded up by high temperature
and depressed by cold. Warm storage
rooms means much rot. The activities
of the decay producers are also fav-
ored by high moisture. The life activ-
ities of the vegetables are also speed-
ed up under warm storage conditions.
They give off more moisture. All these
things lead to a heavy loss from decay,
shrivelling, etc.

With more nearly the normal win-
ter when vegetables can be put in cold
storage in the cellars early and held
near the freezing point the loss from
rotting will be greatly reduced.

The organisms causing decay are
common in all garden and field soils.
They commonly enter through wounds
in the skin of the vegetable. Given a
sound product, it will keep, unless it
is in direct contact with a rotted vege-
table, or is subjected to extremes of
temperature and moisture.

The storage cellar should be cleaned
of all refuse and thdroughly dried. A
sprinkling with l'ormahlchyde solution
one pint to ton gallons may be given
However, whifcwashing and thorough
airing is sufficient, since the rot arises
not from the walls of the bins, but
from the conditions to which the prod-
uct is subjected. Potatoes for instance,
should be handled carefully so as not
to bruise the skins. They should be
protected from frost injury. Then if
the bins are provided with good aera-
tion and the winter is normal, loss
need not be feared. In a word, store
a sound product so as to keep it cool
and dry—G. H. COONS, of the M. A. C.

CUTTING DOWN FUEL REQUIRE
MENTS.

HE recent drastic reductions in
the price of motor fuels are no ex~
cuse for carelessness in the utilization
of such fuels. The desirability and
necessity of maintaining good fuel
economy is just as great as ever.
Among the important things affect-
ing fuel economy may be mentioned
proper adjustment of the carburetor.
All the carbureting accessories such
as air meters, fuel vaporizers, etc.,
should be in first-class working order.
The carburetor jets should be clean
and all fuel passages must be clear

 

and free of leaks. Leakage of air

through faulty gaskets, badly fitted
valves or other places, sometimes
causes faults in operation which are
improperly ascribed to the carburetor.

Using the choke excessively is also
productive of much trouble in causing
carbon deposits and in clogging muf-
flers. This results in a. sluggish en-
gine, reduction of power, and, conse-
quently, more fuel. A vicious cycle is
thus established.

Valves should be carefully fitted and
properly timed. Factory timing is
rarely incorrect and when any repairs
are made, or any overhauling of the
motor is done, care should be taken to
check the time accurately. The cool-
ing system has some effect on fuel
consumption. Generally speaking, the
hotter an engine runs the less fuel
will be used, but this has some excep-
tions. Cool operation results in fuel
condensation in the combustion cham-
ber and consequently carbon forma-
tion.

Adequate lubrication is also essenc
tial. Bearings that are too tight ab.
sorb power and it, takes fuel to pro-
duce powei‘.—-F.

STARTS FEEDING GRAIN EARLY.

 

PROGRESSIVE dairyman inform4

ed us the other day that he start-
ed to feed his dairy cows grain early
in order to prevent a drop in their
milk flow. He knows how impossible
it is to get the cows back to a normal
flow once they have been allowed to
go down because of unnutritious or.
improperly balanced feed. He there‘
fore supplements his pastures with
grain and soon he will be adding en-
silage. A suitable grain mixture for
this purpose consists of ground oats
and corn or barley, and linseed meal.
He uses 200 pounds of the oats, about
400 pounds of the corn or barley, and
100 pounds of the linseed meal. When
fed to cattle like his Holsteius, each
animal receives a pound of the feed
to every four pounds of milk which
they produce. To the Jerseys and
breeds giving milk with a higher per
cent of butter-fat the feed is increased
to one pound of the grain mixture to
every three pounds of milk produced.

 

DEPENDABILITY OF MILKING MA-
CHINES.

HERE is no question but that t0~

day most mechanical milkers are
more eilicient than the average hand
milkcr when everything is taken into
consideration,” says Professor 0. Erf
of the Ohio University. “Their increas'
ed use in the future is not a matter of
conjecture.”

“The dependence that may be placed
upon a. good machine is of great im-
portance. A well-made substantial ma‘
chine is necessary for the best results.
The milker is used twice a day and in
many cases four times a day for 365
days in a. year. No other machine on
a farm is used so often, hence the nec-
essity for good construction.”

 

FARM PRICES RECOVER.

 

UREAU of Labor statistics indi*

cate that the price of farm prod-
ucts for August stood at eighteen per
cent above the 1913 base, as compared
with fifteen per cent above in July——

new Whitney plan of manufacture that
allows the production of this standard
machine at such an unprecedented
price. There’s no mystery in this plan.
It is simply a case of big business--—
standardized, q u a n ti t y-production
and national distribution.

The production of a good, medium-
size tractor so reasonably priced that
every farmer could afford to buy it---
that was the big vision of the men who
first conceived the Whitney plan. They
organized a $5,000,000 corporation to
finance the undertaking. They worked

out a big-scale production plan and a
nation-wide scheme of distribution that
cut manufacturing costs to a minimum.

And they have succeeded in producing
this standard, time-tried tractor to
sell at a price as low as the cost of a
good team of horses! That is the story
of the new-price Whitney tractor.

And the price is all that is new. It is
the same sturdy, reliable Whitney that
has given such wonderful satisfaction.
on hundreds of farms the past five years.
A staunch, slow-speed machine with
power a-plenty for any farm power job.

New Price December 1 st

The new Whitney price will be announced December 1.

You can bank on a big surprise!

For Whitney is lowering the price on this popular machine to the point where, once you know
this dependable outfit, you’ll say “NOW I’ 1 buy a tractor.”

December Ist--the big cut.

In the meantime it would be time well spent to investigate

the Whitney. The attached coupon will bring you the complete facts on this proven tractor.

CEMENT WATER TANK.

 

A few years ago I remember reading
your description of a water tank for
stock built of cement blocks. I wish
to build a tank and would like to know
if you still think well of them, and
how they are built. How deep the
foundation should go in clay; how re-
inforced, and any other details you
can give—H. S. F.

A cement block watering tank is all
right, but it is no better than one
built‘ out of concrete. The reason I
built my tank of cement blocks was
because on another job I had a num-
ber of cement blocks left and I utlized
them in a watering tank and it is sat-
isfactory. Of course, these cement
blocks must be reinforced. You can
lay any kind of steel rods or heavy
fence wire on each layer. Two strands
of fence wire would be sufficient re-
inforcement. Of course, a cement
block tank like a grout tank, must be
plastered on the inside with rich mor-
tar made of fine, clean sand and ce-
ment, then it should be washed with a _ . _

HEARING ON CORN BORER QUAR-

FORMAL hearing to consider,
further steps necessary to prevent}
the spread of the European corn borer,j
which now threatens to invade the;
corn belt, will be held at Washington,|
D. 0., October 11, by the Federal Hort-I
icultural Board of the United States?
Department of Agriculture. Federal;
quarantines against the pest now exist;
in the states of New Hampshire, Mas-l
sachusetts, New York and Pennsylvan-
ia. Reports of field investigations al-I
ready indicate a very rapid spread of!
the borer during the present season}
with new infestations in northwestern;
Pennsylvania and in northern Oh.io,§
and the survey is still incomplete. The;
proposed quarantine line from Lake;
Michigan and the Indiana line south to
the Ohio river and thence east. It is
an open question whether the protec-
tion of noninfested areas that can be
secured through quarantine action
from now on, will justify the expense‘
of enforcement and the interferenccf
with commerce. ‘
The hearing,r will take up this whole
question, which may result in a reshap-

RYE MARKET MAY IMPROVE.
" lll‘) failure of: agriculture in Russia

promises to develop a rye inarke
for American growers and since Mich
igan is the leading: rye state of the
Union the news is of peculiar interest

to the farmers of the state. In the ‘

province of Riga which, before the

war, was a leading rye exporting sec-t '

tion, there, now comes word that rye
will be imported. The comparatively
small acreage planted there in 1920‘
has been quite seriously damaged by‘
drought and the outlook for planting
this season is for another small“
acreage. Michigan Rosen rye is now?
being shipped to Denmark, Germanyl
and other countries which originally:
secured this type of rye from the Riga
district.
THE RURAL TEACHER AND AGRI-
CULTURE.

OR a teacher to be able to cover»

the broad subject of agriculture
even in a most superficial way is not
to be expected after one month ofl
training at a summer school. Certain:
teachers may, however, develop oer-l
tain hobbies, such as nature study or at
school garden. One may be an ama-tt
teur botanist and interest school pu~l

pils in collecting weeds and grasses,’
for analysis. One may make collec-§
tions of insects; another may lead the:
school in making a survey of the crops
grown in the school district, or of thel
different breeds of live stock.

These and other studies are import-
ant contributions to the study of agri-
culture and may be followed to great
advantage as diversions from the reg-
ular school courses—W. E. McMUL-
LEN, Huron County.

Seed corn is best chosen in the field
rather than from the bin, but must
come from stalk-s which mature natur-

“When did you get this?” Eaton ask~
ed, looking out.

“Just now.”

“How could you get it here?” Eaton
questioned, watching the conductor's
face.

“We've had train instruments—the
emergency telegraph-on the wires
since four o'clock and just got talking
with the stations east; wires are still
down to the west. The message came
through yesterday some time and was
waiting for you at Simons; when we
got them this morning, they sent it.”

“I see; thanks." Eaton, assured
that if the conductor had seen any-
thing, he suspected no significance in
what he saw, closed his curtains and
buttoned them carefully. The conduc-
tor moved on. Eaton took a small Eng-
lish-Chinese pocket-dictonary from his
vest pocket and opened it under cover
of the blanket; counting the words up
from thicket he found they; five down
from knot gave him know; six up from
youngster was you; six down from
omniscient was one; seven up from is-
sue was is: and so continuing, he
translated the nine words to:

“They know you. One is following.
Leave train instantly.”

Eaton, nervous and jerky, as he com-

pleted the first six words, laughed as
he compiled the final three. “Leave
train instantly!" The humor of that
advice in his present situation, as he
looked out the window at the solid
bank of snow, appealed to him. He
slapped the little dictionary slut and

returned it to his pocket. A waiter
from the dining car came back, an-
nouncing the first call for breakfast,

and spurred him into action. Passen-
gers from the Pullman at the rear
passed Eaton's section for the diner.
He glanced out at the first. two or
three: then he heard liarrict Dorne’s
voice in some quiet. conversational re-
mark to the man who followed her.
Eaton started at it; then he dressed
swiftly and hurried into the now do
serted washroom and then on to brealo
fast.

The dining car, all gleaming crystal
and silver and white covers within,
also was surrounded by snow. The
space outside the windows seemed
somewhat wider than that about the
sleeping car. And a moment before
Eaton went forwardthe last cloud had
cleared and the sun had come out
bright. The train was still quite mo-
tionless: the great drifts of snow, ev-
en with the tops of the cars on either
side, made perfectly plain how hope:
loss it would be to try to proceed with-
out ihc plow; and the heavy white
frost which had not yet cleared from
some of the window—panes. told graph-
ically of the cold without. But the
dining car was warm and cheerful, and
it gave assurance that, if the train was
helpless to move, it at least offered

A Summmy of W lmt Ha: Already Been Told

Gabriel Warden, capitalist and railroad director, mysteriously comes to

death in his automobile.

Connery, special conductor, gets orders to take

charge of regular train and to obey requests of a passenger who will iden-

tify himself by a special card. Five passengers get on:

Mr. Dome and his

daughter Harriet, a man named Avery. an Englishman, and a young man call

ing himself Philip D. Eaton.

Mr. Dorne makes himself known to Connery by

the card referred to, and Miss Dorne becomes acquainted with Mr. Eaton.
The following morning the train was stuck in the snowdrift. Eaton gets a

telegram.

 

 

luxuries in its idleness. As Eaton step-
ped inside the door, the car seemed all
cheer and good spirits.

Fresh red carnations and ruddy ros-
es were, as usual, in the cut-glass vas-
es on the white cloths; the waiters
bore steaming pots of coffee and bowls
of hot cereals to the different tables.
Those, as usual, were ten in number
»—five with places for four persons
each, on one side of the aisle, and five
each with places for two persons, be-

furthest of the small tables; a trav-
eling-salesman—looking person was
washing down creamed' Finnan had-
dock with coffee at the next; the pas-
senger who had been alone in the sec-
ond car was at the third; the English
man, Standish, was beginning his iced
grape-fruit at the table opposite Miss
Dome; and at the place nearest the
door, an insignificant broad-shouldered
and untidy young man, who had board-
ed the train at Spokane, had just spill-

 

 

Mot/zer’s Brow” Beauties
By LcRoy W. Snell

Some sing about the beauty of the lily or the moon.

And others of the fragrance of the fields in May and June.

But I sing of a beauty that has them beat a mile

It’s the color of Ma‘s doughnuts whet they’re fried in proper style.

There's a fragrance that come stealing as you wander through the door,
Beats all the smells of nature and a lot: of them some more.

And you feel a hunger creeping down

and up and up and down

When you spy the milk pan heaping with those jewels plump and round.

011! a doughnut hot, and crispy, golden brown, like Mother fries,
\Vith a glass of milk beside it is a. feast for hungry eyes,

But it's better for your stomach, and the feeling when you‘re done
“'ith a dozen of Ma’s doughnuts, is, you’d like another one.

 

 

side the. windows on the other side of
the car.

Harriet Dorne. was sitting facing the
door at the second of the larger ta-
bles; Opposite her, and with his back
to Eaton. sat Donald Avery. A third
place was laid beside the girl, as
though they expected home to join
them: but they had begun their fruit
without waiting. The girl glanced up
as Eaton halted in the doorway; her
blue eyes brightened with a look part
friendliness, part: purpose. She smiled
and nodded, and Avery turned about.

“ lood morning, Mr. Eaton,” the girl
greet ed.

“ lood morning, Miss Borne,” Eaton
replied collectedly. He nodded also to
Avery. who, stiffly returning the nod,
turned back again to Miss Dorne.

Amy and Constance, with their par~

ents, occupied the third large table;
the other three large tables were
empty. “D. S.” was alone at the

ed half a cup of coffee over the egg
Spots on his lapels as his unsteady
and nicotine-stained fingers all but
dropped the cup.

The dining car conductor, in accord-
ance with the general determination to
reserve the larger tables for parties
traveling together, pulled back the
chair opposite the Englishman.

As he was about to seat himself
there, the girl again looked up. “011
Mr. Eaton,” she smiled, “wouldn’t you
like to sit with us? I don't. think father
is coming to breakfast. now; and if he
does, of course there’s still room.”

She pulled back the chair beside her
enticingly; and Eaton accepted it.

“Good morning, Mr. Avery,” he said
to Miss Dorne’s companion formally as
he sat down, and the man across the
table murmured something perforce.

As Eaton ordered his breakfast, he
appreciated for the first time that his
coming had interrupted a conversation

-—or rather a sort of monologue of
complain on the part of Standish ad-
dressed impersonally to Avery.

“Extraordinarily exposed in these
sleeping cars of yours, isn’t one.
wouldn’t. you say?” the Englishman
appealed across the aisle.

“Exposed ?” Avery repeated, more in-
clined to encourage the conversation.

“I say, is it quite the custom for a.
train servant—~whenever he fancies he
should—to reach across one sleep-
ing?"

“He means the porter closed his win-
dow during the night," Eaton explain-
ed to Avery.

"Quite so; and I knew nothing about
it~nothing at all. Fancy! There was
I in the bunk, and the beggar comes
along, pulls my curtains aside, reaches
across me—"

By W'z'llz'am MacHarg and Edwin Ba/mer gW”““W““”"‘“”“m“W““’

“It got very cold in the night," Av‘ .

ery offered.

“I know; but is that any reason for
the beggar invading. my bunk in that
way? He might have done anything
to me! Any one in the car might
have done anything to me! Any one
in your bally corridor-train might have
done anything. There was I, asleep—
quite unconscious; people passing up
and down the aisle just the other side
of a foolish fall of curtain! How does
any one know one of these people
might not be an enemy of mine? Re.
markable people, you Americans—min-
consistent, I say. Lock your homes
with most complicated fasteningsw
greatest lock-makers in the world“
burglar alarms on windows; but when
you travel, expose yourselves as one
wouldn’t dream of exposing oneself
elsewhere. Amazing places, your Pull-
man coaches! Why, any one might do
anything to any one! What’s to stop
him, what?”

Eaton, suddenly reminded of his tel—
egram, put a hand into his pocket and
fingered the torn scraps; he had
meant to destrOy them, but had for-
gotten. I'Ie glanced at Harriet Dorne.

“IWhat he says is quite true,” she ob-
served. She was smiling, hoWever, as
most. of the other passengers were, at
the Englishman‘s vehemence.

They engaged in conversation as
they breakt‘asted—a conversation in
which Avery took almost no part,
although Miss Dorne tried openly to
draw him in; then the sudden entrance
of Connery, followed closely by a stout;
brusque man who belonged to the rear
Pullman, took Eaton’s attention and
hers.

Other passengers also looked up:
and the nervous, untidy young man at
the table near the door again slopped
coffee over himself as the conductor
gazed about.

“Which is him?” the man with Con-
nery demanded loudly.

Connery checked him, but pointed at
the same time to Eaton.

“That's him, is it?" the other man
said. “Then go ahead.”

Eaton observed that Avery, who had
turned in his seat, was watching this
diversion on the part of the conductor
with interest. Connery stopped beside
Eaton’s seat.

“You took a telegram for Lawrence
.Hillward this morning," he asserted.
“Yes.”

llWhy D!
“Because it was mine, or meant for

me, as I said at the time. My name is
Eaton, but Mr. Hillward expected to
make this trip with me."

The stout man with the conductor
forCeddiimself forward.

“That‘s pretty good, but not good '
enough!" he charged. “Conductor, get
that telegram for me!”

Eaton got up, controlling himselfun-
tier the insult. ot? the other's manner.

“What business is it of yours?" he
demanded.

“What business? Why, only that I
am Lawrence IIillward-—that’s all, my
friend! What are you up to, anyway?
Lawrence I-Iillward traveling with you!
I never set eyes on‘ you until I saw you
on this train; and you take my tele-
gram!” The charge was made loudly
and distinctly; every one in the dining
car—Eaton could not see every one,
but he knew it was .so~-had put; down
fork or cup or Spoon and was staring
at him. “What did you do it for?
What did you want with it?" the stout
man blared on. “Did you think I wasn’t
on the train? What?

“I was in the washroom," he contin-
ued, roaring for the benefit of the car,
“when the conductor went by with it.
I couldn’t take the telegram then—~80
I waited for the conductor to come
back. When I got dressed, I found
him, and he said you’d claimed my
message. Say, hand it over now!
What were you up to? What did you
do that for?”

Eaton felt he was paling as he faced
the blustering smaller man. He real-
ized that the passengers he could see
-—Ithose at the smaller tables—already
had judged his explanation and found
him wanting; the others unquestion-
ably had done the same. Avery was

gazing up at him with a sort of con-
tented triumph.

“The telegram was for me, Conduc-
tor,” he repeated.

“Get that telegram, Conductor,” the
stout man demanded again.”

“i suppose," Connery suggested,
“you have letters or a card or some-
thing, Mr. Eaton, to show your rela-
tionship to Lawrence Hillward. '

“No; I have not."

The man asserting himself as Hill-
ward grunted.

“Have you anything to show you are
Lawrence Hillward?” Eaton demanded
of him. .

“I never gave any other name than
Lawrence Ilillward,” the other de—
clared.” t

Connery gazed from one claimant:
to the other. “Will you give this gen-
tleman the 1lelegram '2” he asked Eaton.

“I will not.”

“Then I shall furnish him another
copy; it was received here on the train
by our express—clerk as the operator.
I’ll go forward and get him another
copy.”

“That’s for you to decide,” Eaton
said; and as though the matter was
closed for him, he resumed his seat.
He was aware that, throughout the
car, the passengers were watching him
curiously; he would have foregone the
receipt of the telegram rather than
that attention should be attracted to
him in this way. Avery was still gaz-
ing at him with that look of quiet sat-
isfaction; Eaton had not dared, as yet,
to look at Harriet Dorne. When, con-
straining himself to a manner of indif-
ference, he finally looked her way, she
began to chat with him as lightly as
before. WhateVer effect the incident

W'hose fault is it when your

husband is cross at
breakfast?

If you hit your thumb
with a hammer you
Wouldn’t blame your
thumb for hurting.

Then why blame your
husband whose nerves
may have been pounded
by coffee, and whose rest
probably, has been broken
by the irritation of the
caffeine it contains?

If you stay awake half
the night you don’t feel
any too cheerful.

The caffeine of coffee
and the thein of tea are
known drugs. If their use
is persisted in, sooner or
later the nervous system
may give way.

Then you may have
insomnia, or disturbed
sleep. Your nerves and
tissues will be robbed of
that stability essential for
normal and happy living.

You can avoid this
possibility if you’ll stop
drinking tea and coffee and
drink instead, rich, pleas-
ing Postum.

Postum is the deli-
cious cereal beverage with
a coffee-like flavor. It
affords the advantages of
a hot drink, without the
ill effects of tea or coffee.

Order Postum from
your grocer today. Try
it with the family for a few
days, and see what a dif- ‘
ference there’ll be—how
it will permit Nature to
bring scund sleep and
strong, sturdy, qujet
nerves. Sold by grocers.

Postum comes in two
forms: Instant Postum (in tins)
made instantly in the cup by
the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of
larger bulk, for those who pre-
fer to make the drink while the
meal is being prepared) made
by boiling for 20 minutes.

What is SalVation?

Our lVeeély Sermon—By IV. A. Mchme

HERE is a. statement in the First

Epistle of John, “He that bath

the Son hath life; he that hath
not the Son hath not life." No shorter
or more penetrating definition of sal-
vation was ever written. It goes to
the bottom of things. What is life?
No one knows. We know it when we
see it, but we cannot tell what it is.
When you see kittens playing in the
woodshed, chasing their tails, arching
their backs, dancing back“ and forth,
you recognize that as one form of life,
and a. very beautiful form. When you
watch robins ceaselessly traveling to
and fro, carrying worms to their
young, that is life. Your boy stands in
front of the mirror admiring his mus-
cles. He gloats over the fact that the
life within him is developing. Then
there is intellectual life. No one can
come into the presence of a highly
developed mind, without feeling the
effect of it. The highest form of life
is the life of Deity. Whether the life
that God possesses is different in kind
from the life of men, or not, it is at
least of greater intensity. He who hath
the power of creation is one who is
the anther of all life.

The physical organs of man are not
greatly different from those of ani-
mals, but the moment you pass from
the physical to the spiritual, the ani-
mal is left far behind. What is the
characteristic of some men, that lifts
them so far above their fellows? Look
at some of the heroes of the Bible.
They rise above others about them as
the mountain does above the plain.
They possess some form of life. He is
not the mayor of a great city, nor the
governor of a state, nor the president
of a university, nor the head of the
National Farm Bureau, nor renowned
as the breeder of a particular breed of
cattle. Yet Abraham lives on. He had
life, in his soul. A couple of centuries
ago, there lived a tinsmith, who was
also a local preacher. He was very
ardent in his belief, and was imprison-
ed for it. For twelve years he lay.in
Bedford jail. He said he would never
yield his convictions, if the moss grew
over his eyebrows. While in prison
he wrote a book, Pilgrims Progress.
That book will never die. How could
this ignorant man draw those wonder-
ful pictures of Mr. Greatheart, Mr.
Standfast, Christiana, and those typi-
cal human figures, Mr. Fearing, Mr.
Facingboth-ways, Mr. Ignorance, Mr.
Brisk, and Mrs. Bat’s Eyes? The only
answer we know is, that Bunyan had
life in his soul. How could James Gil-
mour labor for years in the vast un-
explored steppes of Mongolia, the only
white man for hundreds of miles, and
the first missionary who had ever ven-
tured there? How could Lincoln keep
his head and his heart during four
years of war, hate, misunderstanding
and abuse, while men like Seward
Stanton and Chase urged him to adopt
a more radical course? Lincoln had
life. He must have had life, a kind of
life of which these other“men knew
but little.

ALVATION is life. Salvation is
the life of God in the soul of man.”
“He that hath the Son hath life.”
. And if salvation is life, sin must be
the want of life. If salvation is life,

' sin must be death. And that is exactly

what Scripture describes it to be. We
know that disease is death working in
life. Take tuberculosis. I know a
young man who was as strong as a
horse. I felt of his arm. It was as
hard as a post. One day after sudden
and extreme exertion, he was taken
with a. hemorrhage. From that time
he has been grappling in a" life and

 

heath strugsl

7 Mame enema

‘and thus maintaining life.

That when we die.

was death working in life. Undoubt-
edly the germs of tuberculosis had
beenln his body for a long time, be
fore their presence became known. Sin
is death working in life. When a man
is suddenly discovered in some crime,
when he is found to have taken large
sums of money, it is not sudden. It
has been working for a long time. He
may have been appropriating smaller
amounts of money, or he may have
been indulging in other sin. The prin-
ciple will hold. Death has been work-
ing in his life for a good while. When
disease runs its course, it kills the
body. When sin runs its course, it
kills the soul. “Sin when it is finished
bringeth forth death.”

Now the treatment for this fearful
condition is, to bring the soul into a
new environment. What is done with
a person suffering from consumption?
Is he not made to sleep out of doors,
live in the open, and eat foods that

contain a high degree of vitality? He"

is placed in an absolutely new environ-
ment. Christ is the environment that
changes the soul. When He comes into
contact with the soul, it brings new
life, new power, a new resistance to
future temptation. Millions of witness-
es could be called to testify to this.
Christ does impart life, to those who
will have it. To have Christ is to have

life. And life is salvation.
HIS is variously described. It is
spoken of in the Bible, as

friendship. “I have called you friends."
A good friendship is a wonderful thing.
Every true friendship is a. give and
take relation. Each influences the oth-
er. When one’s friend is the great
Friend, it is certain to have a. deep
and changing influence on his life.
Again, it is described as the vine and
the branches. The only way in which
the branch can live, is by adhering to
the vine. Just under the bark there is
a. delicate portion of the stem through
which the sap flows. To kill the tree
it is not necessary to cut it down. Sim-
ply cut a ring around, deep enough to
cut this layer. The sap is the life, and
when .sap cannot flow, death follows.
,Christ says that salvation is like that.
Salvation is the life of God flowing
into the human soul, through faith,
Stop the
flowing life, and the individual no
longer possesses the joyous life he
once had. Every up-to-date orchardist
employs many ways of keeping up the
productivity of his orchard. He
prunes, he sprays, he grows clover and
turns it under. He knows that it pays
to do this. And all the various means
by which one can keep himself in
close touch with the source of life,
ought to be used. There is prayer.
Nothing can vitalize like that. There is
the reading of the Bible. That has a.
big place, as many can verify from ex-
perience. There is church attendance,
and there is the reading of thought-
provoking books and papers. Salva-
tion is free. But it can only be kept
by effort. No matter how many re-
vival meetings one may have attend‘
ed, no matter how many different
churches one may have belonged to at
various times, no matter how carefully
one may have been confirmed, finally

it comes to this, is Christ in the soul? ,

All these means of achieving salvation
are important—revivals, confirmation
services and all that. But always at
last it comes back to this, have you
got God? And the best of it is, that
we can exchange our poor, condemned
house, with its rickety spiritual furnld
ture for. a beautiful house furnished by
the Master of the Universe. And thilt
exchange is not another. we wait r}

it appeared to have had none at all
upon her.

' “Are you ready to go back to our
car now, Harriet?” Avery inquired
when she had finished her breakfast,
though Eaton was not yet through.

“Surely there’s no hurry about any-
thing today,” the girl returned. They
waited until Eaton had finished.

“Shall we all go back to the obser-
vation car and see if there’s a walk
down the track or whether it’s snowed
over ?” she said impartially to the two.
They went through the Pullmans to-
gether. ‘

The first Pullman contained four or
five passengers; the next, in which
Eaton had his birth, was still empty
as they passed through. The porter
had made up all the berths, and only
luggage and newspapers and overcoats
occupied the seats. The next Pullman
also, at first glance, seemed to have
been deserted in favor of the diner
forward or of the club-car farther
back. The porter had made up all the
berths there also, except one; but
some one was still sleeping behind the
curtains of Section Three, for a man’s
hand hung over the aisle. It was a
gentleman’s hand, with long, well-
formed fingers, sensitive and at the
same time strong. That was the berth
of Harriet Dorne’s father; Eaton gaz~
en down at the hand as he approached
the section, and then he looked up
quickly ,to the girl. She had observed
the hand, as also had Avery; but,
plainly, neither of them noticed any-
thing strange either in its posture or
appearance. Their only care had been
to avoid brushing against it on their
way down the aisle so as not to dis-
turb the man behind the curtain; but
Eaton, as he saw the hand, started.

He was the last of the three to pass,
and so the others did not notice his
start; but so strong was the fascina-
tion of the hand in the aisle that he
turned back and gazed at it before go-
ing on into the last car. Some eight
or ten passengers—men and women—
were lounging in the easy-chairs of
the observationroom; a couple, ulster-
ed and fur—capped, were standing on
the platform gazing back from the
train.

The sun was still shining, and the
snow had stopped some hours before;
but the wind which had brought the
storm was still blowing, and evidently
it had blown a blizzard after the train
stopped at four that morning.

“There’s no way from the train in
that direction now,” Harriet Dorne la-
mented as she saw this.

“There was no way five minutes af-
ter we stopped,” one of the men stand—
ing at the end of the car volunteered.
“From Fracroft on—I was the only
passenger in sleeper Number Two, and
they’d told me to get up; they gave
me a gerth in another car and cut my
sleeper out at Fracroft—we were buck-
ing the drifts about four miles an
hour; it seemed to fill in behind about
as fast and as thick as we were cut-
ting it out in front.
behind as soon as we stopped, the con-
ductor tells me.”

The girl made polite acknowledge
ment and turned to her companions.

“What shall we do with ourselves,
then?”

“Cribbage, Harriet?
Avery invited.

She shook her head. “If we have to
play cards, get a fourth and make it
auction; but must it be cards? Isn’t
there some way we can get out for a
walk?”

“There’s the top of the cars, Miss
Dorne,” Eaton suggested. “If we could
get up there, we’d get a fairly_ decent
walk and see everything.”

“Good“. the girl applauded.
do we get up?”

You and I?”

“How

‘fI’ll see the. conductor about it,” Ea-‘
ton offered; and before Avery could
discuss'it, he started back through the:

'SUNNY MONDAY.

 

“Away with blue Monday
Let’s make the day sunny,
With the aid of our wits,
We surely can do it.”

When one’s washing machine is run
by a gasolene engine or some other
machinery run motive power, one is
not so concerned about the size of her
weekly washing. But when one is de~
pendent upon elbow grease as a mo-
tive power and there is a good-sized
family to wash for, then it behooves
the housewife to study up ways and
means of making the weekly washing
smaller.

I find that by using oilcloth for var-
ious purposes the weekly washing may
be lessened to quite an extent. An
oilcloth apron for kitchen use mini-
mizes the number of dish aprons. A
good-sized bib apron made of oilcloth,
hung in a convenient place at the barn
or in the dairy will be handy for the
man of the house when he is milking
and caring for the milk. Oilcloth ap-
ron bibs for the children to wear at
the table help wonderfully in keeping
their clothing clean.

The use of paper towels, napkins,
etc., will be found a labor-saver. While
these articles are comparatively cheap
it might not be wise from an econom-
ical standpoint to use them every day,
but it is a good plan to keep a supply
on hand to be used when there is sick-
ness or extra work to be done and one
has little time to spend in washing
clothes.

I find that the general washing is
also greatly diminished when, through
the week I gather up and wash the
small pieces, such as hosiery, hand
kerchiefs, doilies, dishtowels, small
pieces of children’s wearing apparel,
etc. It takes but a little time to wash
a number of these, yet the general
weekly washing will be noticeably
smaller if this is done. A small wash
tub, a stout toy washboard, the kind
that usually sells for half a dollar, and
a large pan with a cover to be used

as a boiler, are the utensils I find
handy when washing these small
things.

When doing the general washing I
find a scrub brush valuable in remov-
ing dirt and grease from heavy over-
alls, men’s shirts, underclothing, etc.
Many times a machine will not re-
move these entirely and it is neces-
sary to rub them on a washboard. By
placing the soiled part on a board and
rubbing with a stiff scrub brush the
work can be done better and easier
than by rubbing with the hand—Don-

REQUESTED RECIPES.

 

Mrs. E. D .W., Munithz~l have no
recipe for pickling fish for long keep-
ing. To pickle for immediate use boil
the fish, pour off liquor, cut fish in
pieces convenient for serving, 'mix the

'liquor with an equal quantity of vine-
gar, add spices to suit, and pour over
fish. Let stand over night, or twenty-
four hours, before serving. Fish pick-
led this way will keep several days.
I see no reason why they could not be
packed in jars and finished by the cold

Renewing Old Furniture

By an Economical Househeeper

IVES there a woman with soul so

dead who does not respond to the

appeal of a nicely kept house? A
house with floors unmarred and furni-
ture unscratched, where dust collect-
eth not and ravelings litter not the
floor? Especially does the woman
whose furniture bears the marks of
warfare put there by sturdy little fig-
ures sigh for the day when she can
have new things, bright, shiny, and
never dusty.

Most of us will sigh in vain for the
new, but there is no reason why all of
us can not have the unmarred after
the children get by the climbing stage
and have been taught that chairs are
made to be set upon, and not as step
ladders. Renovating old furniture is
not a task which calls for much clev-
erness nor for much strength. Its de-
mand is for timeand infinite patience.

Of course, by this time you have
learned for yourself the folly of buy-
ing varnished, bright, shiny furniture.
The only sort for the busy woman with
children is the dull, waxed finish. This
is not hard to put on and is much eas-
ier to keep looking nice. Its beauty
increases with its age, the frequent
waxing and polishing deepening the
rich tones of the finish.

Perhaps you bought- cane seated
dining-room chairs, and the seats have
long since acquired a sag, or perhaps
given up the struggle altogether. You
want a dining—room suite that looks
like one of those fifteen hundred dol-
lar ones marked down to three hun-
dred and ninety-nine, which the stores
are picturing so alluringly in their ad-
vertisements. The only thing for you
to do, probably, is to make your old
one look as near like it as possible.

The first step in the process of ren-
ovating is to take off the old varnish.
There are various ways of doing this.
One is to apply a thick paste of gold
dust and water, and after the varnish
is well soaked up, scrape it off with a
coarse wire brush which paint shops
sell for this purpose. A better way is

to buy varnish remover, apply it- .With '

a brush, and the remuv m

 

spatula. Directions for using the var-
nish remover will come with the can
Before removing the varnish it is ad-
visable to take off the old seats from
the chairs, and all the gingerbread
decorations from sideboard or buffet
and table. The new idea in furniture
is simplicity. So if yours is trimmed
with attached curleycues remove them
all, and be repaid by the loss of use-
less dust catchers. ,

The varnish having been removed
the next step is to apply a coat of
stain. If your furniture is of oak it is
better to select a stain suited to this
wood. There are several sorts to
choose from, golden, fumed, mission.
A walnut stain could be used, but as
the grain of the wood is so different
.you would be disappointed Without a
doubt. After the stain, the wax is ap-
plied. This should be in paste form.
To apply, fold a yard square of cheese
cloth twice to make a smaller square,
put a generous tablespoon of wax in
the center so that four thicknesses of
cloth will come between it and the
wood, twist the corners together, and
holding the wax like a ball in the hand
rub the wax into the wood. This will
take time and patience, but the result
is satisfactory enough to repay you for
the work done.

After the finish is completed remem-
ber to always polish with dust cloth
dipped in liquid wax. Do not use oiled
cloths. Oil is the thing for varnished
furniture, but for waxed floors or fur
niture nothing but wax may be used

After the furniture is waxed the
question of new seats for the chairs
arises. For the farm family undoubt-
edly real leather seats are more satis-
factory. There is a temptation to the
beauty-loving woman to choose the
tapestries or velours which are so
lovely in show windows, but unless
the men of the family can be trained
to change their work clothes to Sun,
day best before every meal, the result
will be fatal to the chairs. ' Leather is

immediately rubbed with a waxed
cloth.

If you are skillful with scissors, and
a hammer the upholstering can be
done at home. Webbing may be pur‘
chased at any furniture store for the
bottom, and excelsior will do for the
filling. A binding to cover the cut
edge of the leather may be made of a
fold of leathe1, with the raw edges
turned under, and the whole fastened
on with upholsters’ tacks.

CARE OF FURNACES.

 

HE United States Department of
Agriculture offers the following
advice to fire builders:

Keep all heaters clean. Soot and
ashes reduce effective heating.

Leaks cause drafts and consequent
loss of heat. Mend them with cement.

To build a fire: Close all dampers,
shake grate and remove ashes.

Put in crumpled papers, cover with
kindlings laid criss cross to admit air,
then a thin layer of coal, or hard wood,
if wood is used. Open ash pit and
smokepipe dampers and light paper.
When fuel is burning freely adjust the
dampers.

Attend to fire regularly. If low, put
on only a little coal. If a large amount
of coal is used leave a part of glowing
fire exposed.

In severe weather fill last thing at
night. The first thing in the morning
open dampers and add a little coal.
When fire is burning well, shake it
and add more coal.

Clean ash~pit daily. A short, swift
stroke of shaker sifts ashes through
grate. In mild weather have a bed of
ashes on top of the grate. In severe
weather, shake till a glow appears. Al.
ways leave grate set level.

Keep firepot full. You get better
heat if coal is even with door in front
and a little high in the back. Never
poke fire bed.’

Special directions for soft coal: Op-
en damper in coaling door to admit
air necessary to burn gas. Always al-
low some red coals to remain exposed.
Clean smokepipe once a week. Do not
try to burn soft coal with a hard coal
grate, or vice versa.

Hot Water Heaters.———All radiators
must be entirely filled to give best re-
sults. Open air valves frequently until
drop of water appears. If none ap-
pears, water must be added.

Steam Heaters—Look at glass wa-
ter gauge whenever you attend to fire.
Gauge must be kept full of water. If no
water shows in glass, more water is
needed. Smother the fire with ashes
and let boiler cool before adding, to
prevent explosion.

Be sure air valves are working per-
fectly. They are to let air escape and
steam fill radiators.

cessories this fall. ' - '

Up in the attic you may have an old
black broadcloth suit which went out
of style before the war. If you have
you are in luck, for both broadcloth
as a fabric and black as a color are in
high favor this season.
the ultra dress has the long lines from
shoulder to hem which look discourag-

ing to the home dressmaker seeking

to convert a suit into a dress, there
are really good models with girdles
which give one a chance to utilize the
suit coat. Or a long black broadcloth
coat might be converted into a smart

new dress by using a front panel of,

satin or silk.

In making over the suit the first
step is to get your material ready. It
should be first ripped, using a safety

razor blade, or a good sharp knife if‘

you haven’t the razor blade. Then
take out doors and brush the pieces
with a stiff brush, taking care to re-
move all stitches and lint. Pure wool

may be washed with soap flakes or a:
good wool soap and soft warm water.,

Make a lather before entering goods.
Do not rub on soap. Be sure that the
water in which the goods is washed
and in which it is rinsed, is of the
same temperature. Do not use too hot
water. Changing the temperature
causes the wool fibres to stiffen. It is
better to leave a little lather in the
rinsing water, as otherwise the natural
oil of the wool is removed. The soap
that adheres to the cloth will be re-
moved when the material is hung out-
side. If the water is hard, soften with
borax or ammonia.

Run the material through a wringer,
do not twist with the hands, and hang
on the line to partially dry. Then roll
it lightly, let stand for an hour, and
press. over a cloth, on the wrong side.

If you are not sure of the quality of
the wool it would be better to clean
it in gasolene. To do this only a high
grade gas can be used, as the low
grade oils remain in the wool and the
cloth becomes a dirt catcher. To test
the gas, put a little on a sheet of writ-
ing paper, and allow it to run off to
the side. If it evaporates quickly and
leaves no marks on the paper it is all
right to use.

Silks are better washed in gasolene.
Or perhaps you will want to dye it.
Georgettes, crepe de chines, and fou»
lards dye well. If you decide to dye,
first remove all the color possible.
Make a heavy suds of a mild soap ad-
ded to water enough to cover the
goods. Enter the silk and boil until
color is removed. Thirty minutes
should be sufficient, fifteen is often
enough. A little washing soda added
to the water hastens the process.

In dyeing, follow directions on the
package you select implicitly.

Before starting your work of clean
ing, study well your garment and de-
cide on a pattern. Be sure that you
have material enough to carry out
your idea before you start ripping up
the old garment. There are many
good patterns on the market, and all
will tell you how much material you
need. If you are at all clever with the
needle, you will be able to do the work
yourself, especially if you have made ‘
one of the dressforms which the ex-
tension department of the agricultural
college have been helping Michigan
women make. If you have doubts as
to your skill it would be economy to
hire a dressmaker to do the work.

$450.00 Reported Cost of
Coverage For Sedan in
New York

Of all problems confronting
the automobile industry, partic-
ularly those engaged in the sell-
ing end of the business, none is
of greater importance and none
presents a more difficult proposi-
tion than the stolen car in the
matter of automobile insurance.
The old line rates have become
prohibitive. The cost of insur-
ing the average sedan in the old
line company in the East is $450.

The congestion of traffic, lead-
ing to frequent accidents, care‘
less driving and the auto thief
increases the cost of insurance.
The careful automobile owner
by careful driving, putting a
proper lock on his car and plac-
ing same in a garage when visit—
ing the large cit'ns, helps to keep
down the cost.

The Citizens’ Mutual Automo-
bile Insurance Company of How-
ell, has saved its members many
million dollars since organiza-
tion. It insures in the smaller
cities and country districts of
the state. The rates are very
reasonable. It has paid out in
claims over $850,000.00, carrying
a surplus of $125,000.00 in addi-
tion to the office building and
equipment.

If your car is not insured see

Albert and His

INE feathers do not make fine
Fbirds,” says Albert Schultz, the

fifteen-year-old champion poultry
raiser for Minnesota Boys’ and Girls’
Clubs. And Albert has plenty of chance
to know; having raised prize poultry
since he was five; at twelve he was a
poultry judge at a fair, and he- is now
one of the directors of the S. E. Min-
nesota poultry show.

This year the first premium fell to
Albert because of the large percentage
of chickens he has raised from those
he has hatched. From his seventy-nine

birds he has received, counting the
value of the stock he has on hand,
$330. The breed he is now specializ-
ing in is Single Comb White Leghorns.
He has sold a good number of birds,
the pullets bringing $2.50 apiece, and
the cockerels $5.00.

The fact that Albert lives in the
most thickly settled district of Roches-
ter, a city of some fifteen thousand,
and has a back yard only 40x50 feet,
used for garden, strawberry bed and
barn, has not kept him from being

champion. From old boxes which he
took to the school manual training
class he made. his own hoppers and

feed troughs, which he thinks save
time and feed.
Having won many prizes in county
and state without belonging to the
club, Albert could not for a time see
that there was any benefit in joining.
But the club leader finally induced
him to take up the Single Comb White
Leghorns, a more difficult breed to win
prizes in than the Buff Orpingtons, in
which he had previously specialized.
Through her influence, a breeder from
a famous poultry farm sold him set-
tings from his first pen, so that he
had specially fine stock to start with.
Then the club leader gave him the
benefit of her training and experience,
visiting his chicks often. One of the
greatest poultry experts, too, made vis-
its to his yard, giving him instruction
and inspiration. Next, he won extra
prizes at the county fair because‘of his
entries into the club classes, as well
as the open. The same was true of the
state, so that he is now very enthusias-
tic over the benefits of being a mem-
ber of the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs.
Albert really loves poultry, and
hopes some day to have college train-
ing and be a specialist. He shows his
affection by his care, and his petting.
He’ has trained his chickens to do all
sorts of tricks.
‘ “It is the easiest thing in the world

rained Chickens

By Marjorie Sq wyer

to teach tricks to chickens,” says the
boy. “When a hen is sitting on the
nest I pet her every time I go past.
Sometimes one will fly at me, but then
I sit down and spend half a day with
her, and she is all right. If she is
scratched under her bill between the
wattles she will lift up her head and
enjoy it as a cat. does when its ears
are scratched. After such petting the
hens will allow you to take out the
eggs and do anything you please with
them.

“Before the chickens have their
feathers I teach them how to ride on
my bicycle. if it is left around the
yard they will get used to roosting on
the handle-bars. Then when it is
trundled around slowly they will stick
on tight. If they try to fly away I
fasten them on with adhesive tape
around their feet and then take them
out for a swift ride. They learn that
it is a simple thing, after all, and the
next time they can go without the tape.
I can coast down a steep hill and they
will really enjoy it. They spread their
wings and have just a fine sail. Some-
times they get frightened, and then
they fly up onto my shoulders.

“A chicken can turn somersaults as
well as a dog, but, of course, he must
do it on a stick. Set him on, hit him
gently on the back of his head, and he
will turn around and come up all right.
If he doesn’t stick well, rubber bands
will keep him on at first.

“My Jimmy was the best bird I ever
had to do tricks. He could do every-
thing the others could, and then some.
He had a little wagon that he would
draw when he was hitched to it. Some-
times I filled it with eggs. Jimmy was
very *proud, and liked to be photo-
graphed. Whenever he heard the click
of the camera would straighten up
his head, puff out his crop and lower
his tail in fine form. If there were any
other chickens near he would crowd
ahead of them to be taken first.

“Training chickens is easy work; in

fact, there is nothing to it. The only
thing is that you have to pet them and
work with them from the time that
they are hatched.”

 

A CHAMPION BAKER.

 

INA HANSEN, of South Dakota,
champion individual bread bak-
er among the young people of Faulk
county, holds an exceptionally high
production record for the club year
just ended. During the year, as a mem-
ber of the junior bread-baking club,
she turned out the following products:
Bread, 440 loaves; cakes, 45; muf
fins, 11 dozen; ginger bread, 13; Park
er House rolls, 121/2 dozen; fruit rolls,
12 dozen; baking powder biscuits, 43
dozen; doughnuts, 101/2 dozen; pies,
15; cream puffs, 14 dozen; buns, 36
dozen. ‘
At current bakers’ prices this means
a total production to the value of $125
to $130. This is just another demon-
stration of the enviable record which
boy and girl club members have for
industry and thrift.

 

CROSSING THE STREET.

girls. One of its uses is stimulating

the child’s mind and increasing his v0-

cabulary while the physical part of
the game adds to its popularity.

The children stand in a line and the
leader says to first one and then an-
other, picked at random, “How did you
cross the street?” The child must then
cross the room, walking, running, hop-
ping, jumping, staggering, dancing in
any way he can conceive. The chil-
dren shout the way, there being a riv-

the hogs like it,
from weekly baths.

Hog men have long, maintained that
the pig is naturally a clean animal,
and that the expression “dirty as a.
hog” is base libel against a creature
born dainty but doomed by careless
man to wallow. More than that, they
declare, were it economically possible
to wash every hog in the herd every
week, the herd woulld show better
gains at the end of the year.

With herds of but one head, the club
youngsters are keeping their pigs as
clean as cats, and will show them at
the county fairs in this condition.
Some boys have built special bath-
tubs for their hogs.

Asked to what extent farmers might
profitably follow this practice, John W.
Wuichet, state extension specialist in
animal husbandry, said that a hog wal-
low of cold water, kept clean, acceler-
ates summer gains and helps keep the
herd in health. Swine cannot sweat,
he added, and the farmer who provides
such a wallow during hot weather is
likely to be well repaid at butchering
time.

Poultry Feeding Problems

By R. G. Kirby

ANY farmers have the wrong
M opinion of dry mash feeding for

poultry and believe that it must
be an expensive method. At first
thought it seems as if the hens would
gather about the hopper and eat all
the time. But this is the way it works
out: The hens occasionally take a
bite of the mash. Then they have to
drink water. The mash is dry and
cannot be gorged down. After a hen
has taken a few bites of mash she is
ready to hunt around for other food.

The mash is not sufficiently appetiz-
ing to keep the hens from searching
for other food. Hens that have been
Without mash might consume much
more than usual when it was returned
to them. But if the hopper is always
full they soon satisfy‘ their appetites
and then only eat at intervals. The
mash hopper insures every hen an op-
portunity of obtaining egg-making ma-
terial at some time during the day.

When hens have mash they do not
need so much other grain. Enough
protein cannot be given to the hens
in the form of hard grain. If they
have the mash they can eat the mate-
rials needed to produce eggs. The use
of mash saves enough hard grain to
make its use practical. It also ena-
bles the hen to lay eggs and if mash
feeding was more expensive than us-
ing hard grain, it would still pay to
use the mash. The profit with poultry
is the' difference between egg receipts
and feed costs. A cheap ration might
bring no profit because of low egg pro-
duction. A well balanced ration brings
eggs and without eggs to sell there is
no profit in the hen business, even if
the feed cost is close to zero.

When there is plenty of sour milk
the beef scrap or other protein in the
mash can be cut in two. Some farm-
ers find it a hard problem to feed sour
milk in a sanitary manner. If the milk

. is placed in low dishes it is soon full

of litter and very unclean. Dirty milk
can be a cause of bowel trouble. It
pays to place the milk in crocks on
low wooden stands. These crooks can
be scalded and kept free from dirt and
gummy material. They are rather
heavy and not easily tipped over.
They are low in height so the hens
can drink the milk to the bottom of
the dish.

We haVe used galvanized pails for
sour milk but the hens cannot drink
to the bottom of the pail. They may
roost on the edges and tip pails over.
The dry mash from their bills settles
in the bottom of the pails along with
other dirt and some of the milk may
have to be wasted when the pails are
rinsed.

Some poultrymen find it a problem
to keep lellS from wasting every ma-
terial that is served in a self-feeding
hopper. The hens seem to have a
mania for pulling out mash, oyster
shells or grit until the hopper Is emp~
tied in the litter and much of the ma-
terial wasted. This can be avoided by
making a lip with a small piece of
board on the front of the hopper. Then
the trough of the hopper can be deep
enough so the hens have to reach
down for the material. If they still
waste it, a piece of fine mesh poultry
wire can be tacked over the opening
so the birds will have to peek through
the openings and only be able to ob--
tain the material that they eat.

The clogging of dry mash hoppers
is a problem if they have narrow
throats. The remedy is to build them
wide enough so that the mash will not
often clog. Even then it is necessary
to watch the hoppers orcasionally and

"see that the mesh is feeding down as

it is used. A stick) several feet long

gym the keptin fa. hoppar that clogs

wasted. ‘

and used to break up the mash. That
takes time and it pays .to build the
hoppers so they will seldom fail to let
the mash slip down as it is used.
When old and young poultry use the
same farm range it is often a problem
to keep the chicks growing rapidly.
The old birds crowd them from the
feed hoppers and frighten them at
feeding time. It pays to construct a
dry mash hopper inside of an enclos-
ure protected by slats so that the
young birds can enter while the old
ones are excluded. The chicks soon
learn where they can feed unmolested
and an improvement will be noted in

their; growth. ~

Such an enclosure can also be used
for the water dishes and sour milk
crocks used by the young growing
stock. Of course, it is best to have
them on a separate range but these
small feeding yards are very useful on
the general farm where all the poultry
of all ages are allowed to run together.

Some breeders use wet mashes and
find trouble in keeping the poultry
house clean and the feeding troughs
in good condition. We believe that
this problem can be avoided and the
poultry houses kept more clean and
dry if no wet mashes are used. The
birds grow and lay on dry mashes
and as such mixtures save much labor
and seem to keep the birds healthy we
can see no necessity of mixing up
much moist feed. Of course, when
there is an abundance of table scraps
they can be made more appetizing to
the hens if they are made into a moist
mash by the addition of bran or the
dry mash mixture used in egg produc-
tion. ‘

INFLUFLNCE OF MOULTING ON
LAYING.

 

My chickens began to moult the last
of August and are still moulting. I
have about 150 chickens and am get»
ting about a dozen eggs a day. I am
told that chickens that moult in Aug-
ust and September are no good. How
about it? I feed corn and wheat.—D.

Experience has shown that hens that

moult in August are not usually good
layers. They often take a long time
to moult and in most cases do not start
laying again until the next spring. The
best layers are usually those who wait
with their moulting until late in the
fall, get through moulting quickly and
start laying again.
' Those who have made a study of,
and have had considerable experience
in producing good layers, find this as
an almost certain indication of the
laying qualities of hens. There are
other indications which will tell
whether a hen is a good layer or not,
but when one doesn’t know these in-
dications, he can safely rely on the
moulting habits in selecting the chick
ens. We would advise that you dis—
pose of the early moulting hens and
keep the late moulters,

Perhaps one reason why you do not
get more eggs than you do is because
you are not feeding properly for egg
production. Corn and wheat alone do
not give the chickens the proper food
for the production of eggs. A very
good method of feeding is equal parts
by weight of cracked corn and wheat
or scratch food and in addition a dry
mash, which should be available to the
hens at all times, of equal parts of
corn meal, bran, middlings and ground
oats. If you have sour milk available
for the chickens, give them all they
can consume. If not, add to the mash
three quarters of a pound of commer-
cia-l beef scraps to each tour pounds
of mash. It‘is wasting money to feed
chickens improperly as, when this ,is
done, the food given them is virtually;

J. J. Lyle is one of the prominent
farmers near Decatur who has been
successful with stock, grain and pota-
toes. His farm is in the noted Lyle
district in which the son contains
more phosphorus per acre than any up-
land soil in the county.

W. E. Phillips also lives near De-
catur. On his two hundred acre farm
he grows grain, stock, potatoes and
alfalfa. He is president of the County
Farm Bureau, manager of the Decatur
Cooperative Association, member of
the executive committee of the State
Farm Bureau, member of the board of

chard methods will be given in our
columns at another time. He has bred
Rose Comb Minorcas for twenty years
and has won his share of blue ribbons
at Chicago, Boston, New York and
other big shows. He is also a breeder
of White Wyandottes and has a. pen
which ranks third in the egg-laying
contest at Hamonton, New Jersey.

Near Bangor is also the D. M. F.
Farm which is managed by Miller Ov-
erton. The letters D. M. F. refer to
dairy, mint and fruit. They have over
a. hundred acres in mint, 3. large
acreage of fruit and their dairy herd
consists of fifty head of pure-bred Jer-
seys. The farm contains four hundred
and sixty acres, of which three hun-
dred and twenty are farmed. Mr. Mil-
ler prefers married men to single for
farm help, andohe endeavors to keep
his help busy throughout the season.
The farm contains ten acres of wood
lot which consists of black locust,
white ash and sugar maples. He has
especially found that black locust is
profitable, and thinks that every farm»
er ought to grow at least a few acres
of it.

try. It owns the town of Mentha which
is in the center of their twenty—one-
liundred acre farm, eighteen hundred
acres of which is cultivated. Their
chief crops are peppermint, spearmint,
wormwood and tansey. This year they
have in about six hundred acres of
peppermint and eight hundred acres
of Spearmint. They have a large still
on the place which can distill forty
acres of mint a day. During the busy
season they employ one hundred and
fifty men. One notable fact is that
they have found profitable use of trac-
tors on muck soil.

At Gobleville we found Charles Gid-
dings farming two hundred and
eighty acres. and specializing in pure-
bred Holstein eattle. At present he
has forty—six head of King Segis—King
of the Pontiacs. and May Echo, Sylvia
breeding. His herd is headed by King
Zei‘ma Alcai'tra Pontiac, No. 143461,
whose sire is King Segis Pontiac
Alcai'tra, famous as the $50,000 bull.
Mr. Giddings began to breed Holsteins
eleven years ago, starting with two
cows. From one of these cows, he has
sold to date $1,500 worth of descendants
and still has in the herd three of her
daughters and five of her granddaugh-
ters. ,

At Bangor we found H. A. Keister,
noted for his Rose Comb Minorca
chickens and fanCy apples. Mr. Keis-
ter bought his farm sixteen years ago
at which time he set out his first apple-
orchard of five acres. This orchard
was kept well cultivated until six years
of age and since then has been kept

One of the young fellows who has
come to the front. in Van Buren agri~
culture is Robert Anderson, of Gov.-
ert. Mr. Anderson’s hobby is peaches
and fertilizers. He has a, piece of
ground containing eighty~three trees
which have been in peaches continu-
ously for thirty-five years. This or-
chard produced nearly seven hundred
bushels of peaches last year. He also
has a piece of ground that has been
in corn for nine consecutive years,
which produced one hundred and forty
crates per acre last year. His practice
with this piece has been to sow vetch
at the last corn cultivation and in ad-
dition give the ground three hundred
pounds of acid phosphate annually. He-
has long been an advocate of the use
of nitrogenous fertilizers in peach or~
chards, and has fertilized sufficiently
heavily that he inter-cropped them suc-
cessfully for several years. Mr. An-
derson’s favorite variety of peach is
the Lemon Free, some of his trees of
that variety having borne full crops
Since they were three years old. He
has fifty Lemon Free trees that have
netted him three times as muen as the
same number of Elbertas which were
set at the same time.

Among the many progressive fruit,
growers in the vicinity of South Hav-
en is Frank E. Warner.
years Mr. Warner has been very suc-
cessful in the growing of strawberries
and other fruits. Recently he purchas-
ed the farm which was the birthplace
of Dr: L. H. Bailey, and has brought it
into a high’state of productivity. Mr.

Haven Fruit Exchange, member of the
exeCutive committee of the County
Farm Bureau, and also manages the
affairs of the South Haven Fruit Grow-
ing Corporation. ‘

This corporation was formed by 10-
cal' farmers and other people in
industries dependent on fruit growing.
The purpose of the corporation is to
apply efficiency methods to fruit grow-
ing.‘ It now owns four hundred acres
of orchard land, a great share of it
being in bearing orchards. Last year
they set ten thousand trees with very
small loss. This order of ten thousand
was the largest single order ever giv-
en a Michigan nursery.

Van Buren county has been one of
the leaders in the development of co-
operative work. It now has twelve
farmers’ cooperative associations,
which last year did a total of nearly
four million dollars’ worth of business.
The Southern Michigan Grape Associa—
tion at Lawton, which is a consolida-
tion of several grape associations that
have been in existence for several
years, did a business of a million and
a half dollars in 1920i. The South Hav-
en Fruit Exchange, which has been
the model for a lot of successful co-
operative organizations in the western
part of the state, did a business of
four hundred thousand dollars last
year. The Paw Paw Cooperative As-
sociation, organized in 1920, did
enough business six months after it
was organized to amount to over three
hundred and thirty-five thousand dol-
lars. In South Haven a cooperative
store has done a business of two hun-
dred and ten thousand dollars, and one
in Bangor, one hundred and thirty-six
thousand dollars worth of business in
1920. Other successful cooperative as-
sociations in the county are those at
Lawrence, Grand Junction and Deca-
tur. Fruit exchanges at Hartford and
Bangor are doing well, as is also the
Gleaners’ Elevator at Hartford and the
cooperative creamery at Lawrence.

Van Buren has a strong farm bureau
organization. It was one of the first
counties to take up the farm bureau
membership drive, and now has 1,696
members. The executive committee
of the farm bureau organization con-
sists of W. E. Phillips, Decatur, who
is also president; Frank Warner, of
South Haven; R. V. Dilley, Lacota; J.
T. Wilkinson, Hartford; C. M. Kings-
ley, of Kendall; C. E. Buskirk, of Paw
Paw, who is secretary-treasurer. Mes—
srs. Phillips, Buskirk and Warner have
been referred to previously in this ar-
ticle.

Mr. Dilley operates a one hundred
and twenty acre farm on which he
grows fruit and does general farming.
He has made a great success of grow—
ing vetch seed, and is using vetch as
a cover crop in his orchard.

Mr. Wilkinson runs an eighty—acre
farm, of which thirty—five acres are in
an orchard. He is on the board of
directors of the Hartford Fruit EX-
chunge, and also a director of the Van
Buren County Agricultural and Horti-
cultural Society, Which operates the
County Fair.

C. M. Kingsley farms two hundred
and fifteen acres, specializing in pota-
toes, grain, alfalfa and live stock. One
five-acre piece of alfalfa on his farm
produced in two cuttings in this year,
more than twenty-five tons of hay.
Some of the alfalfa stood forty-two
inches high at cutting time.

BITS OF WISDOM.

 

Says Sam: The most expensive
type of fence is the one over which
neighbors quarrel.

The man who thinks any stock that
is pure—bred is all right should read up
on the history of certain European roy-

alties. Pedigree means nothing unless

backed by performance.
Soy-beans are soil builders.

_Ever notice that the fellow who
doesn’t want to see the county agent

Under a blistering sun, at the recent Fargo
demonstrations an OilPull perfected kero-
Sene—burning tractor again triumphed in the
great national fuel economy tests. This Oil-
Pull used only 2 3—10 gallons of kerosene per
acre plowed. At 10c per gallon this means
less than 25c per acre. That was 7% less
than the average of the six lowest scores. It
was ractically 30% less than the average
F of a1 tractors. For preparing the seed bed,

which included double discing, dragging and
seeding, the OilPull used only .85 gallon
of kirosene per acre—approximately 8%c
wort .

For years an OilPull has held the world’s
championship in fuel economy. For years

these low cost records have been duplicated
1 for OilPull owners.

Triple Heat Control

The most important single feature is Triple
Heat Control—~the OilPull perfected system
of oil cooling which positively controls tem-
peratures. By this system the powerful twin
cylinder motor is kept at the exact temper-

ature necessary to get maximum power and
mileage from kerosene, under all conditions.
The motor actually gets cooler as the load
grows heavier. Overheating is unheard of.
Freezing is impossible. OilPull records could
never be made without this system. Because
of it the OilPull is the only tractor guar.

its full rated horsepower.

Long Service Records

OilPull long life is proverbial. Hundreds are
in the 7th, 8th, 9th and even 11th year of
service. A recent investigation of nearly 500
OilPulls of all ages disclosed an average
repair cost of only $16.92 per year. This
means that the OilPull is the cheapest trac—
tor to operate from every point of View.

Before you buy any tractor, thoroughly in-
vestigate the OilPull, the champion kerosene
burner. Literature and address of nearest
agency will be promptly sent upon request.

The OilPull Tractor is made in four sizes from

ly following the adjournment-of the
foregoing meeting. The National
Dairy Show will be in session at the
Minnesota Fair Grounds October 845,
thus making it convenient for the del-
egates to assemble at this place on
the above date. N. P.‘ Hull, of Michr'
gen, who is president of this organiza-
tion, issues the above call. ..

 

THE CONDENSED MILK MARKET.
MANUFACTURERS of condensed

milk products were inclined to
feel optimistic during a portion of last
month because it seemed that an ac-
celerate demand for their products
was de. oping. While no real boom
was expected, conditions were such
that a greater feeling of confidence
was generally apparent. However,.of
late the condensed milk market has.
been very quiet and the confident feel-

ing that was in evidence has been dis-
sipated.

While up until July 1, stocks in the
hands of the manufacturers showed a.
material increase, there being an in-
crease of fully twenty—five per cent
during the month of June, the later
months have shown a slight decrease -
in production, if anything. However,
the decrease is insufficient to have any
effect on the general market. During
July and August there was a fair ex-
port demand, the aggregate quantity
exported during the month of July ex-
ceeding 11,500,000 pounds, the greater
part of which went to the United King-
dom. Exporters have continued to
show a marked interest in both con-
densed and evaporated but there has
been a. slowing down of export busi-
ness. There has been a continued de-
mand for-powdered skim-milk for ex-
port shipment and values have had a
slightly upward tendency. Domestic
demand for all classes has been at the
minimum of late—W. B. L.

 

MERINO‘BREEDERS MEET.

 

OR several'years there has been a

desire on the part of some mem-
bers of the Improved Black Top Mere
ino Sheep Breeders’ Association to in-
troduce new blood in the flocks owned
by the members. At this year’s meet-
ing, which was held at the pleasant
home of Mr. and Mrs. George Haist,
near Chelsea, rule 728 was changed to
read as follows: “That all American
Delaine Merinos, National Delaine and
Black T0p Spanish Merino sheep being
properly recorded in their respective
registers and approved by the secre‘
tary of our own association shall be
admitted by the owners upon the pay:
ment of the transfer fee and be transl-
ferred in our association, their pro:
geny to be known as the Improved
Black Top Delaine Merinos.”

An ideal day brought out a good
attendance despite the necessity. of
many being elsewhere on account of
fairs. A little surprise was planned
for Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Robertson who,
on July ’25, was to have celebrated
their fiftieth wedding anniversary, but
on account of sickness the party was
called off; however, a purse' of fifty
dollars was presented to them by the
members of the association. . r

O cers elected for the coming year

emed for Canine and Feline
Mirage—Every time my Collie dog or
kittens have sore ears I use Iodex and
it relieves them and cleanses their
ears. I put it on with end. of finger
and the animal seems to enJoy the era
feet, for it prevents itching. I first ap-
plied peroxide of hydrogen, but this
was rather harsh. Iodex can be pur-
chased at nearly every drug store..—
M. E. B., Dansville Micli.~—In “Canin‘e
Medicine and Surgery,” Dr. Charles (I.
Saunders has the following to say re-
garding Follicular Mange: He says
Follicular Mange is one of the most
serious skin diseases from which our
patients suffer, the parasite being so
deeply situated that para81t1c1des have
no permanent effect and bacterin treat-
ment is effective in only a. few cases.—
Editor.

Depraved Appetite (Pica).~—One of
my neighbors has a cow that chews
wood, paper, and bones every chance
she has and I would like to know What
to give her? A. K., Boltin, Mich.—
Feed her plenty of sound and whole-
some food. Mix carbonate of iron, one
part, powdered gentian one part, pow-
dered fenugreek one part, two parts
of salt, and four parts of bone flour
together, give her a tablespoonful at
a dose in feed three times a day. In
my practice I usually prescribe full
doses of powdered wood charcoal.

Splint—Spavin.—~I have a driving
horse seven years old that has shown
some lameness in hind leg for several
months. The only blemish I can find
on this lame leg is a small hard bunch
on inside of leg high up on shin close
to hock. Have been applying camphor
as I disliked to apply a blister. The
lameness is so slight that most people
overlook it. A. T. P., Stanton, Mich.
——Clip off hair and apply one part red
iodide of mercury and eight parts of
fresh lard to bunch once a week. If
possible give him a rest.

Fistula of Face—I purchased a four-
yiear—old mare last spring. She had an
open sore on face which the owner
said was caused by a blow. Showed
her to veterinary, who said to pull out
the fourth upper molar tooth and she
will get well; however, I have done
nothing, but had her examined by an—
other veterinary, who called it fistula
and gave me a black—colored salve to
pack into hole. I applied it for eight
weeks then a chunk sloughed out, pre-
sumably the pipe. It left a big hole
in head which has not healed, and an-
other pipe fills the opening, but, of
course. pus runs out. What had I bet-
ter do? F. A. P., Harbor Beach, Mich.
—-—A chronic case of this kind, especial-
ly if the bones are diseased, is very
often incurable. You have had the
opinion of two veterinarians, followed
the instructions of one, his prescrip-
tions have failed to effect a. cure; now
the next move to make is to either
continue on with one of the veterinar-
ians, or employ still another. The
writer believes that in order to effect
a cure some surgical work must be
done. This case should not be treated
by mail. ,

Infected Udders.-—Have Seven cows.
Every few days one or the other of
them are troubled with sore udder, af-
fecting the hind quarter, but after giv-
ing thick milk for two days she gets
all right. The cows have been in this
condition all summer. The cows run
on pasture, are fed car com and cat
chop. F. B., Imlay City, Mich—Apply
one part of fluid extract of phy-
tolacca and eight parts of lanolin to
bruised or infected quarter twice a
day. A strange or peculiar thing about
their ailment is that the hind quarters
are affected, perhaps one of your cows
hooks and injure them; better try to
ascertain what is causing their ail-
ment; if infected, the udder would not
become normal so quickly.

Rickets.—We have some spring pigs
that are weak in their hind parts, and
instead of walking they drag their
hind parts. Please tell me what to do
for them. W. D., Kingsley, Mich.—
Feeding pigs too much corn and fat-
producing food is a common cause of
partial loss of power. Either market
them to butcher, or feed more oats, oil
meal, tankage and grass. Keep them
dry and rub back with mustard and
water three times a week. Perhaps you
have failed to exercise them, which, of

 

course, is a benefit to growing pigs.

WHEAT

The uncertainty in the wheat mar-
ket which appeared two weeks ago
has persisted. Foreign demand re-
mains inactive as exporters undoubt-
edly overbought early in the season.
The visible supply in United States
and Canada is now 51,159,000 bushels,
which is above the average for recent
years. This showing is being built up
at the expense of the reserves at in
terior points. Reports upon the Argen-
tine and Australian crops are highly
favorable but Manchuria, Japan and
China and India have been asking for
offers of both American and Canadian
Wheat. Price movements during the
rest of the crop year will depend to a
considerable extent upon the outcome
in Australia and Argentina. The situ-
ation on the whole, however, seems to
favor the holders of wheat in the
United States.

CORN

Predictions that corn would sell in
the forties at Chicago this fall were
made good during the past week. At
Kansas City, the price dropped below
forty cents. The movement of old corn
remains heavy and the slump in Ger-
man exchange caused that countiy to
withdraw as a buyer, removing one of
the principal supports to the market.
Prices reached the lowest point for
this season of the year in the last
eighteen years. Although primary re-
ceipts are still large all reports indi-
cate that the supply of old corn has
been greatly reduced and that ship
ments on this scale cannot continue
much longer. Corn prices may weak-
en a little more but it is safe to as-
sume that they are near the bottom,
although only a dragging market can
be expected until after the winter
movement of new corn has passed its

climax.
BEANS

New beans are being sold rapidly by
Michigan growers and as a result val-
ues have worked lower. Prices f. o. b.
Michigan shipping points are about
$4.45@4.50 per 100 pounds for choice
hand-picked stock, while growers are
receiving $3.75@4 for beans in the dirt.
Red beans are bringing $8.50 at ship-
ping points against $12 at the season’s
high point. Demand is slow as the
. - weather has been too warm to stimu-

 

“‘0

E singing is]

w: m “

late consumption. The quality as well
as yield of the bean crop is below the
average. The Michigan crop is esti-
mated at only 2,295,000 bushels, com-
pared with 3,575,000 bushels last year.
An advancing market looks highly
probable as soon as the flood of sup-
plies immediately_ following the bar-
vest dries up. '

OATS

Oats markets are carrying an im-
mense load of grain at terminals, but
receipts are gradually falling off and
shipments increasing so that this bur-
den has practically reached its maxi-
mum. Export demand is small as" Eu-
ropean countries dropped out When
foreign exchanges declined.

SEEDS

Underlying supply and demand con-
ditions in cloverseed seem to point to-
ward higher prices later on. A moder-
ate advance was scored last week but
not all of it was maintained. The re-
ceipts are liberal as the producers are
selling freely. Toledo, the leading mar-
ket, has already received 5,770 bags
compared with an average to the same
date during the four previous years of
only 400 bags.

FEEDS

Feed markets, especially the wheat
byproducts, remain dull and inactive.
Cottonseed meal has declined ”slightly
as a result of larger offerings. Corn
industries are operating at about 80
per cent of capacity so that gluten
feed production is relatively large. De-
mand for all feed remains light.

POTATOES

Potatoes are moving rapidly .from
producing sections and all points have
been liberally supplied. Prices gener-

Northern round whites are quoted at

Chicago declined to $1.65@1.85 per 100

pound sack.
HAY ,
Demand for hay is limited mostly to
local requirements and is confined to

the best grades but prices were firm
last week, due primarily to the light

receipts.
WOOL

Demand for wool declined moderate-
ly last week, although there is still a
fairly large total passing into the
hands of mills. The shift of demand
toward medium and low grades was
still more noticeable. Foreign wool
markets are still strong. The Woolen
goods market shows some hesitation
as dealers do not believe that consum-
ers will pay prevailing prices but it is
generally agreed that concessions
must come from the mills rather than
through further reductions in raw ma-
terial. Boston quotations follow:

Ohio and Pennsylvania fleecesz—De-
laine unwashed 34@35c; fine unwash-
ed 28@29c; half-blood combing at 29@

demand thus far is only moderate in
most consuming sections. A 21/2 Bald-
wins are quoted firm at $6.00 per bar-
rel f. o. b. New York shipping points
and $6.50@8 in eastern consuming
markets. Fall varieties reached $10@

mand. Under-grades are selling at big‘

discounts but have been cleaned up
fairly well except at New York. A
shipment of 140,000 pounds of Danish
butter arrived at New York last week
and sold at 44% @451A5c for best lots.
Other shipments totalling 200,000 to
250,000 pounds are on the way. Re-
ceipts at the four leading cities declin—
ed last week and the movement out of
storage was rather large. Reports
from 'creameries, however, indicate
that production is considerably larger
than a year ago. Prices for 92-score
fresh butter were: Chicago 440; New
York 441,éc. Prices in Detroit for the
fresh creamery in tubs 3660370.

POULTRY AND EGGS

Although cold storage eggs are rath-
er large, and receipts are running con-
siderably larger than at this time last

year, prices have advanced. about 30‘

per cent in the last few weeks. Near-
by white eggs have gone to a pre-
mium over California white eggs in
eastern markets for the first time in
two years. Receipts of dressed poul-
try during the last two weeks at the
four leading cities were about 75 per
cent larger than in the same period
last year. Prices have declined under
the weight of these offerings along
with liberal supplies of live poultry
and values are likely to sink still
further during the next month or two.

DETROIT CITY MARKET

A combination of rainy weather over
the week—end and the start of a long
list of Jewish holidays caused light of-
ferings on the farmers’ markets and a.
general slow movement of produce.
The potato market was fairly active
with most stock moving at $1.30@1.40

GRAND RAPIDS

Heavy receipts of potatoes over a
period of two weeks has steadily drag-
ged prices down on the Grand Rapids
market until this week they began at
slightly above the $1 mark. Remem-
bering their sad experience of a year
ago when they held their tubers for
higher prices, farmers this year are
rushing their potatoes to market al-
most as soon as dug. Buyers point out
that if the movement is not checked
until consumers begin laying in their
winter supplies, the price may go be-
low a dollar a bushel. The apple move-
ment also is heavy with the bulk of
the offerings of inferior grades which
is having a tendency to weaken the
market on fancy, hand-picked stocks.
The apple harvest is well advanced
throughout the fruit belt. Prices are
as follows:

Vegetables—Potatoes $1.15@1.25 a.
bu; dry onions $2@3.50 per cwt; cab
bage 75c@$1 bu; carrots, turnips and

squash $1 bu; celery $1.50 per box.

Fruit—Apples, hand-picked, grading
A-1 $1.75@2.50 bu; seconds, hand-pick-
ed $1.50 bu; windfalls, ciders and culls
50c@$1.25 bu; pears $1.05@1.25 bu;
cantaloupes $1@2 bu; tomatoes 50@
80c bu. ,.

ley 70c bu; oats 44c bu; corn 68c bu:

‘ THE present seasonis marked by

' the presence of great numbers of
corn ear-worms, known in the south as
the cotton boll worm. The worms are
' found boring into the tips of the ears
of corn and in the case of sweet corn
the entire ear is usually spoiled.

These worms come from eggs laid
by the moth on the fresh green silk
just as it is being pushed out by the
ear earlier in the season. The worms
that escape death now will burrow in
the soil, and pass the winter there to
come out as moths next spring, but
the worms can be killed by dusting
with sixty per cent arsenate of lead
just as the silk is pushed out.

Coming at a time when we are ex-
pecting the European corn borer to
appear, it has caused more than usual
interest. It is really an old enemy in
Michigan, having been here since early
times, although ordinarily it is not so
plentiful.

 

Many Michigan Farmer readers have
written regarding the insect which
was attacking their corn. The above
is Prof. R. H. Pettit’s suggestions re-
garding its control. Many will be glad
to know that the insect is not the Eu-
ropean corn borer which is causing so
much trouble in other-parts of the
country—«The Editors.

APPOINTS_REPRESENTATIVES T0
DAIRY SHOW.

 

OVERNOR GROESBECK has ap-

pointed fourteen leading dairymen
of the state as official representatives
for the state of Michigan. They are:
Lauren Read and Ray Ballard, of
Copemish; Fred Jotey, Kaleva; Max
Lutz and Maurice Jones, Bear Lake;
Steven Lautner and William Hemig—
forth, both of Traverse City; Lowell
Sours and David Newcomb, Williams-
burg; Clinton Smith and E. E. Owen,
Lapeer; George Caldwell, Imlay City;
Arthur Lilly, of Hunters Creek; L. C.
Pierson, Hadley. Many others aresaid
to be planning on the trip. Reduced
rates to the dairy show are in effect
on Michigan railroads, it is reported.

SPECIAL TRAIN TO NATIONAL
DAIRY SHOW.

 

RRANGEMENTS are under way

for Michigan producers of milk,
manufacturers of milk products, and
others who will attend the National
Dairy Show at the Minnesota State
Fair Grounds, Minneapolis, October 8-
15, to travel together on a special train
out of Chicago, says H. D. Wendt, act-
ing director of the State Bureau of
Dairying, who is in charge of the ac-
commodations for the Michigan dele-
gation. _

The Michigan train will leave Chi-
,cago at 10:10 a. 111., Sunday morning,
October 9, over the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul Railway, says Mr.
Wendt, who suggests that Michigan
dairymen planning to attend the show
get in touch with him at his office in
Lansing before that time.

WOULD CONSOLIDATION REMEDY
THIS?

 

RED CROSS nurse of Chippewa

county has reported on rural
schools in the east end of the penin-
sula. according to the Sault Ste. Marie
News. “Strenuous remedies must be
applied to bring many, if not most, of
the rural schools up to standards.” Her
list of defects include “dirt, generally
poor sanitation, bad lighting, improper
heating, over—crowding, lack of appli-
cation of fundamental rules of health
and hygiene.” Lack of interest on the
part of parents is blamed for the situ-
ation. In one school only three pupils
were enrolled. Another school used a
‘ common cup and pail, while one pupil
had an active case {of tuberculosis.

I 1 . Only two schools had sanitary towels.

rWhitefish township had a very credit-
, bowing state its, sonnets, while

 

 

       

 

the" schools of the city of Sault Ste.
Marie are among the best in the state.

Chippewa is a. good average Michigan .

county. It is believed that the amend-
ments to the consolidated school act
recently enacted by the state legisla-
ture will greatly promote consolida-
tion of schools in Chippewa, which is
the most important remedy, it is held
locally, for the present situation.

CRO‘I3 CONDITIONS IN MICHIGAN.

 

RECENT conditions have been ex-
ceptionally faVOrable for the ma-
turing of all fall crops, there having
been no frosts of any material extent
or severity during September. With
the exception of some potatoes that
were late, all crops are past the dan-
ger of damage by frost. The weather
has been favorable for seeding opera-
tions and for the germination of fall-
sown grains, and for the harvesting of
fall crops in general.

The corn crOp is fully matured and
cutting and silo-filling is practically
completed. Husking is under way and
the quality and yield of the grain is
excellent, except in occasional locali-
ties where some fields were injured by
heat and drought which lowered the
yield. Complaints of damage by the
worms are being received from various
sections.

Wheat and rye seeding is nearly fin-
ished. A good acreage has been sown
under favorable moisture and soil con-
ditions. Germination has been rapid
and good growth has been made in the
central and northern districts Where
seeding commenced early. Some re-
ports of the prevalence of Hessian fly
in wheat have been received.

The weather has favored the growth
of potatoes and some improvement is
noticeable in many sections. Digging
has commenced, the yields varying
widely according to local conditions.
There are some very good fields among
the late planted ones, but the early
plantings are generally yielding very
light and some are an entire failure.
A frost that would kill the tops and
hasten maturity would be welcomed by
many growers at this time. Early
blight has damaged many of the fields
throughout the state, but late blight
has. been reported in only a. feW in-
stances.

The harvesting of beans is nearly
completed. Only a few have been
threshed to date. The yield is fair in
the main producing sections and is
quite light elsewhere. Some have been
weather damaged while being harvest-
ed but, on the whole, the quality is
good.

Winter apples are being harvested
and marketed at good prices. The
crop has matured fully three weeks
earlier than usual. High winds have
blown many from the trees in some 10-
calities. There is nearly a full crop in
some nort em and northwestern coun-
ties, the percentage of a crop decreas-
ing as one travels southward through
the western Michigan fruit belt. There
are very few in the central and eastern
districts. The apples are about normal
in size and remarkably free from
scab, but a late infestation of codling
moth has made many wormy apples
in orchards where spraying was not
continued up to picking time. All other
fruits have been harvested except
some late pears.~—V. H. Church.
