CURRENT COMMENT





‘ HE grain cam-





. ai n for Near



Near .EaStJ Eastprliel‘ inaugurat-

Rehef ed some weeks ago is

Campaign progressing in all sec-

. tions 01' the state.



Each week reports show that the





farmers in all sections of the state

are responding to the appeal for con-

tributions of grain or its equivalent in

cash to the amount of nearly $5,000 to

swell the state’s quota of 100,000 bush-

els of grain for this philanthropic pur-

pose.



There is no question about the hu-

manitarian interest of the farmers of

the state in this proposition, and no

doubt at all about their meeting this

quota, when the proposition is proper-

ly presented to them by the local com<

mittees. The Thanksgiving season is

a good time to complete this worthy

,relief work.





T the first session

of the Disarma-





The D ’ s- ment Conference call-

armament ed at the invitation of

Conference President Harding.





Secretary of State

Hughes startled the Old World diplo-

mats by his brand of American dip-

lomacy. He proceeded at once to the

business of making a definite and con-

crete American proposal for the im-

mediate reduction of naval armament

on the part 6f the United States, Great

Britain and Japan and the establish-

ment of a ten-year holiday in the mat-

ter of naval construction on the part

of those nations. And he gave the

’ terms of this proposal to the people of

all the world as well as to the repre-

sentatives of the severalmations pres-

ent at the conference.





This definite assumption of leader-

ship of the first great diplomatic con-

ference on international relations ever

held in this country, by the official

spokesman for the United States,

promises much in the way of possible

results from the conference. It will

make the American proposal the basis

of discuSsion at the conference. The

manifestly unselfish nature of the pro-

,posal will compel the delegates of oth-

er nations to meet it in similar spirit

., or meet undesirable public ‘criticism in

their own countries. 1

struction on tom- new battleships and

scrap fifteen old battleships, a tetal

of nineteen capital ships, aggregating

588,375 tons. . Japan would abandon

her prospective campaign of construc-

tion of eight new capital ships, scrap

seven capital ships in process of con-

struction and ten battleships now in

service, aggregating a total tonnage of

448,928 tons. The proposal also con-

tains specific provisions for replace-





-ments on the basis "of 500,000 tons in





capital ships for the Umtewtates and

Great Britain and 300,000 tons for

Japan.





In this proposal Mr. Hughes did not

refer to the problems growing out of

international relations in the Far East,

the disucssion of which was made a

condition in President Harding’s call

of the conference. It is probable from

his assumption of leadership in the

conference that a definite American

proposal for the settlement of these

problems may come later. Be that as

it may, the quality of leadership dis-

played by Mr. Hughes, as spokesman

for the United, States at this most im-

portant conference, has appreciably

raised public confidence regarding the

possible practical results which may

come from it in limiting the naval

armament of the great powers and





which would amount to several billion

dollars during the next ten Years. At

least the American proposal is of a

nature to convince the people of all

the world of our sincerity in the cause

of World peace as well as that of





‘WOrld justice.





N the consideration



of cooperation the

question which prob-

ably comes up more

than any other is,

“Will ”we farmers

have to stand speculatimdosses when

selling cooperatively?” This is a per-

fectly fair question to ask as it is well





Cooperation

versus

Speculation





known that the speculator’s business,





is not all gain but sometimes sufl‘ers

great losses.



There is a considerable difference

between speculative ,marketing and co-

operative selling. Speculative business

is based upon the faults of the

present system of marketing. The

speculator makes his purchases at a

time when everybody wants to sell,

and if he guesses right sells when ev-

erybody wants to buy and makes the

buyer pa'y for the privilege.-



In the marketing of most all farm

products there is a period which is





Emergency Agricultural Credit





EPEATED attention has been call-

R ed in these columns to the gov-



ernment plan of financing agri-

cultural needs through the medium of

the War Finance Corporation. It was

the editor’s privilege to meet Mr. Eug-

ene Meyer, chairman of the War Fi-

nanceCorporation, at Chicago recently

and hear him talk on the plans of that

organization for functioning in a,big

way in the present emergency. No

one could listen to Mr. Meyer talk on

this subject and have any doubt of his

desire to have this government agency

function to the fullest possible extent

in aiding the farmers of the country

to finance their. current agricultural

operations. , There isn't, any doubt

about this. The machinery has been

provided for

agency in Michigan by the appoint-

ment of an agricultural loan agency'to

pass on the applications of banks for

the advancement of funds on agiicul

tural loans. But so far the agency

has not functioned, because there have

been no applications from local banks.





We are anxious to learn the reason

for this apparent lack of interest in

this proposition by Michigan bankers.

If it is because Michigan banks are

able to meet the legitimate short-time

credit needs of their responsible farm-

er customers, then Michigan is to be

congratulated for her outstanding po‘

sition among the agricultural states in

this regard. If it is because the bank-

ers who cannot satisfy those needs

from present resources, if there are

such, will not take the necessary trou-

ble to avail themselves of this source

of additional funds for this purpose,

that fact should be brought out. If,

as has been charged from some sec-

tions of the state, there are bankers in

the profiteer class who prefer to ex-

tort a high rate of interest by extra

legal means rather than to handle this

government money for the accommo-

dation of their financially responsible

farmer patrons on a two per cent mar-

gin, that fact should be known of all

men.



Let us repeat briefly the plan under

which this government aid can be.





made available to Michigan farmers:'





The War Finance CorpOration does

not loan money direct to farmers. It

merely advances, money to banks on

agricultural loans which have already

been made. This





     





 

 

 





 





the functioning of this-





advancement is rinsist on learnin





formal application for such advance

to the Agricultural Loan Agency for

Michigan, through its chairman, Wil-

liam J. Gray, Ford Building, Detroit.

This application must be accompanied

by prescribed statements from the

bank and from the farmers on whose

paper the advancement is desired,

which paper must be submitted for

approval and indorsed by the bank.

The loan must be for agricultural pur-

poses within the meaning of the law,

which is intended to cover emergency

needs for current agricultural opera.-

tions.





From this it will be seen‘thatthe

farmer who is entitled to this service

from his bank must be financially re-





‘sponsible for the loan or be able to





give satisfactory collateral security.

The loan must be‘ for the financing of





some current or emergency agricultur-‘





al need. And he must have reserve

credit which entitles him to considera-

tion. In other words, he must not

have already borrowed from his bank

the limit which the law or its rules

permit it to loan to any single cus-

tomer.





But given these conditions, any

farmei is entitled to this service from

his bank. And if under these condi~

tions he is lefused the service he is

entitled to know the ieason why. and

if it is not a good reason. to make a

noise about it. ’And in every case

where under these conditions any

farmer who applies for a loan at his

local bank is asked to pay a bonus

above the legal interest rate of seven

per cent it is his duty to make a big

noise about it.

thistsource of money available to

Michigan bankers to cover their good

agricultural loans there will be no

such cases. But if there are we would

like to know about it.





'We want to see this plan for emer-

gency credit to farmers function in

this state to the full extent for which

there is need of it.'and would like to

know of every case where it does not

function under these conditions.



The first step toward making it

function is, for. the reader. who can

meet those reuuirem‘ents and is in

need of emerconcy credit. to apply to

his local banker for a loan and if it

is not forthcoming at seven per cent

farmers of Michigan produced the sec-

ond greatest total yield of this grain





forecast, is that Michigan is lookingvand last year Michigan stepped into





to her agriculture through her Crop-





Improvement Association, Agricultural





' College, State Farm Bureau and allied





agencies.

At this time when ’every farmer

feels the. burden of readjustment he





is brought face to face with the fact\





that it is not the time to increase his

acreage but it is time to make every

acre more profitable. After he has

adopted the rotation best meeting his

requirements, and has used the best

method' of fitting and fertilizing his

fields, the remaining factors to be dealt





..with are weather conditions and the





seeds he uses. Since the farmer has

no control over the former, the quality

of the seed used becomes a determin-

ing factor in the profits. and losses of

his farm operations. .



Farmers have long realized the im-





. portance of high-producing strains of





farm seeds, but not until the Crop Im-

provement Associations and the ex-

periment stations in several northern

states, took up the work of inspecting

crops to be used for seed purposes and

certifying them, not only as to germi-

nation and purity but as to productivity

has the farmer been able to procure

such seeds at a ieasonable cost. Prior

to the taking up of this work by these

agencies there have been some efforts

put forth by individual growers more

or less isolated, and in some cases by

seed-men, to raise the standard of farm

seeds and to improve certain varieties:

However, in most cases such seed was

not available to 'the average farmer,

or the seeds produced adapted to only

certain territories. In the meantime-

much worthless stuff was foisted upon

the farmer at long prices by certain

dealers who renamed old varieties,

selling the so—called improved strains

at profitable prices to themselves. Such

methods have caused the farmers to

demand some protection and in many

states seed laws have been put into

effect which haveaccomplished some-

thing. Another effect of the practices

referred to, was to give the grower a

feeling of caution and uncertainty

when considering varieties of farm

seeds put out as new or improved va-

rieties. '



When the Crop Improvement Asso-

ciations and experiment stations took

up their work of varying and certify—

ing varieties of grain and seeds adap—

ted to their various states, the work

of improvement received a great stim—

ulus and farmers and growers were

eager to test out the new or improved

strains, and in many instances farm-

ers became competent certified seed

growers.



“The formation of The Michigan

Crop Improvement Association in 1910





' made it‘ possible to secure the rapid





increase, on a state-wide scale of su-

perior varieties developed at the Mich-





igan Agricultural College.”





The rapid distribution of Rosen Rye,

Red Reck'Wheat', Worthy Cats, and

other varieties developed by Professor

F. A. Spragg, plant breeder at the





— Michigan Agricultural College, are ex-





amples of the effectiveness of an or-





' ganized method of distributing im-

‘ proved varieties





“In addition to producing a great.





_ variety of cash crops, Michigan has be-

' 4 come knownfor its high production of





 





_be handicrafts which the Finnish farm-

F i





first place with a total production to-

taling fourteen per cent of the coun-

try’s rye crop.”



This achievement was made possible

through the wide use of Rosen Rye, a

remarkably high-producing variety

bred and developed at the Michigan

Agricultural College 'and distributed to

the farmers by the Michigan Crop Im-

provement Associaiton during recent

years. That this variety is high in

quality as well as production is shown

by the fact that Michigan entries at

last year’s International Hay and Grain

Show, won twenty-nine of the thirty

prizes offered in rye classes, with Ros—

en Rye.



Another outstanding variety of grain

which has come into its own in Mich—

igan and other states as well through

the work of the Crop Improvement As-

sociation is Red Rock Wheat. This

wheat produced by Frank A. Spragg,

plant breeder, had plenty ~of good qual—

ities which were soon recognized when

put on the certified seed list by the

association. Red Rock Wheat is a





*rowing‘ in

_BJ/ 1- V. Sflmp





 





 





 





 





very hard red wheat as its name im-

plies. It is a bearded red wheat hav-

ing a stiff straw, standing up when all

varieties tested with it lodged more

or less, standing the winter well. As

to what is thought of Red Rock Wheat

and Rosen Rye in other states than

Michigan may be seen in the fact that

at a’meeting held early in the year by

the Chicago Board of Trade to“consid-

er plans for the. 1921 Grain and Hay

Show, arepresentatives of other states

complained about having to compete

with Michigan Rosen Rye and Red

Rock Wheat. It was stated that these

two Michigan varieties were of such

superior quality that the varieties

grown in other states could not win

prizes when put up against ’Red Rock

and Rosen. The idea of placing these

varieties in special classes was con—

sidered, but the committee decided

that if Michigan produced such supe-

rior grain, it made an excellent mark

for other states to aim at.



Other seeds registered by the Michi—

gan Crop Improvement Association

are: Oats, barley, beans, corn, soy-

beans, velch and sweet clover (bien-

nial and annual), Professor Spragg is

at present at work producing a hardy

alfalfa which will produce seed in

Winter Work for Farmers





ROF. C. A. SAUER, of the Depart-



ment of Geography of the Univer-

sity of Michigan, has raised the ques-

tion whether or not the long northern

winters do not impose on farmers a

handicap in comparison with farmers

farther south, and he suggests that

some governmental agency undertake

an investigation to determine just how

far the seasonal forced idleness that

occurs in winter really constitutes

economic handicap.



Without awaiting the results of such

an investigation, Professor Sauer asks

whether or not it is not possible to

develop household industries that will

make money for northern farmers in

the winter time, and calls attention to

many such industries as practiced by

the' farmers of north Europe—chair-





making, basketry, and ’ the like. He





suggests, for example, that there may





   





side, and notes that there may be de-

veloped a market for hand-made, farm-

er-made goods that will materially add

to the family income.



I have heard of one Finnish farmer

who on the side makes skis, and of

another who has produced more than

fifty spinning-wheels, not because of

their antiquarian interest but for their

utility in he home-spinning of home—

grown wool io be used in making

home-knit mittens and socks. There

has also been a considerable tendency

to? undertake toy manufacturing in

northern Michigan 'cities, and this

might lead to something of the sort in

the country after the fashion of the

Thuringian mountain folk of Germany.

There is also the possibility of a de-

partment store market for home-made

embroidery and other feminine pro-

ductions. All in all, it may be worth

the while ‘of the new Bureau of Agri-

cultural Development to look into this





‘_~ propdsi'tion to‘ see if there is anything





Michigan-





 





Michigan. This will later be register-j

ed. He is continually testing'strainl

and seeing to it that the varieties al«

ready put out are kept pure. Seed po-

tatoes are now being inspected and

certified by the Michigan Potato Grow-

ers’ Exchange. ‘



After the formation of the Crop m— l

provement Association and the plan of

registration of superior seed was in?

augurated careful gram growers were

quick to grasp the opportunity of pro-

ducing certified seed for others. In

this way specialized seed growers.

were developed, here and there over

the state giving Michigan farmersg

seeds adapted to their needs at a rea- '

sonable cost. — 4



A special system of inspection of

fields of grain grown for seed purposes

before harvest and a careful inspection

of threshed grain samples has been

adopted. The inspection is paid for by

the growers and the Michigan Crop

Improvement Association, but it is di-

rected by the Crops Department of the

Michigan Agricultural College.



Any farmer can become a member

of the Michigan Crop Improvement As-

sociation on the payment of the annual

dues of one dollar, but in order to sell

his grain under the trade-mark of the

association, he must submit to its in-

spection by its agents and pay all at-

tendant costs. The requirements for

any crop to pass inspection includes a.

clause as to the purity of variety, and

freedom from obnoxious weed seeds,

not exceeding one-half of one per cent

of weed seed. Inspected seeds must

be threshed in such a manner as to

eliminate mixture in threshing and

must be pure, thoroughly recleaned

seeds. They must have been treated

for disease and smut.



It is difficult to keep improved

strains from becoming mixed with in-

ferior varieties. Many times such mix-

ing becomes so extensive that the

quality and yield are impaired and the

variety is said to have “run out.” The

itinerant thresher is largely responsi-

ble for this condition. By threshing

wheat after oats, and rye after oats,

but in no case threshing wheat after

wheat, rye after rye or wheat after

rye, unmixed seeds are secured.

Community cooperation in growing

improved varieties of grain only will .

lessen the danger of mixing varieties.

This is the thing that is now being ac-

complished through the Crop Improve-

ment Association and the county agri- ‘

cultural agents in Michigan. As ex-‘

amples, Jackson county is probably-

the greatest producer of high—grade

Rosen Rye in Michigan, again Allegan

county probably produces and ships

out more pure—bred Red Rock Wheat

than any other county in the state.

Other communities could be cited."

Community growing of certified farm

seeds is following the lines of commu-

nity production of pure-bred live stock.





Lists of growers whose field seeds

have passed field and bin inspection

are available about August 1 and Feb?

ruary 1 of each year. These lists are

secured on request from the secretary

of the Crop Improvement Association ~

and are distributed by county.agri¢ltb ' '

tural agents. On receipt of the list the

prospective buyer gets in touch with‘

the producers or through the seed de-

partment of the Michigan State Farm '

Bureau.



While Michigan may not have been

seeds, the methods adopted and the

CURRENT COMMENT





HE grain cam-



paign for Near

East Relief inaugurat-

ed some weeks ago is

progressing in all see-

_ tions of the state.

Each week reports show that the

farmers in all sections of the state

are responding to the appeal for con-

tributions of grain or its equivalent in

cash to the amount of nearly $5,000 to

swell the state’s quota of 100,000 bush-

els of grain for this philanthropic pur-

pose.



There is no question about the hu-

manitarian interest of the farmers of

the state in this proposition, and no

doubt at all about their meeting this

quota, when the proposition is proper-

ly presented to them by the local com-

mittees. The Thanksgiving season is

a good time to complete this worthy

,relief work.

The Dis-





of the Disarma-



ment Conference call—



armament ed at the invitation of

Conference President Harding,





Secretary of State

Hughes startled the Old World diplo-

mats by his brand of American dip-

lomacy. He proceeded at once to the

business of making a definite and con-

crete American proposal for the im-

mediate reduction of naval armament

on the part bf the United States, Great

Britain and Japan and the establish-

ment of a ten-year holiday in the mat-

ter of naval construction on the part

of those nations. And he gave the

' terms of this proposal to the people of

all the world as well as to the repre-

sentatives of the severalmations pres-

ent at the conference.





This definite assumption of leader-

ship of the first great diplomatic con-

ference on international relations ever

held in this country, by the official

spokesman for the United States,

promises much in the way of possible

'» results from the conference. It will

make the American proposal the basis

, of discuSsion at the conference. The

‘s’manifestly unselfish nature of the pro—

, meal will compel the delegates of oth-



not nations to meet it in similar spirit

"or meet undesirable public criticism in

.their Own countries.

her prospective campaign of construc-

tion of eight new capital ships, scrap

seven capital ships in process of con-

struction and ten battleships now in

service, aggregating a total tonnage of

448,928 tons. The proposal also con-

tains specific provisions for replace-





vments on the basis ~of 500,000 tons in





capital ships for the Unite¢States and

Great Britain and 300,000 tons for

Japan.





In this proposal Mr. Hughes did not

refer to the problems growing out of

international relations in the Far East,

the disucssion of which was made a

condition in President Harding’s call

of the conference. It is probable from

his assumption of leadership in the

conference that a definite American

proposal for the settlement of these

problems may come later. Be that as

it may, the quality of leadership dis-

played by Mr. Hughes, as spokesman

for the United States at this most im-

portant conference, has appreciably

raised public confidence regarding the

possible practical results which may

come from it in limiting the naval

armament of the great powers and





   





eral countries involved of a burden

which would amount to several billion

dollars during the next ten years. At

least the American proposal is of a

nature to convince the people of all

the world of our sincerity in the cause

of World peace as well as that of

‘World justice.





N the consideration



of cooperation the

question which prob-

ably comes up more

than any other is,

“Will "we 1’ a rm e r s

have to stand speculativedosses when

selling coOperatively?” This is a per-

fectly fair question to ask as it is well

known that the speculator’s business

is not all gain but sometimes suffers

great losses.





Cooperation

versus

Speculation





There is .3 considerable difference-





between speculative .marketing and co-

operative selling. Speculative business

is based upon the faults of the

present system of marketing. The

speculator makes his purchases at a

time when everybody wants to sell,

and if he guesses right sells when ev-

erybody wants to buy and makes the

buyer pay for the privilege.



In the marketing of most all farm

products there is a period which is





Emergency Agricultural Credit





EPEATED attention has been call-

Rcd in these columns to the gov-



ernment plan of financing agri-

cultural needs through the medium of

the War Finance Corporation. It was

the editor’s privilege to meet Mr. Eug-

ene Meyer, chairman of the War Fi-

nanceCorporation, at Chicago recently

and hear; him talk on the plans of that

organization for functioning in a,big

way in the present emergency. No

one could listen to Mr. Meyer talk on

this subject and have any doubt of his

desire to have this government agency

function to the fullest possible extent

in aiding the farmers of the country

to finance their current agricultural

operations. There isn’t, any doubt

about this. The machinery has been

provided for

agency in Michigan by the appoint-

ment of an agricultural loan agency to

pass on the applications of banks for

the advancement of funds on agricul-

tural loans. But so far the agency

has not functioned, because there have

been no applications from local banks.





We are anxious to learn the reason

for this apparent lack of interest in

this proposition by Michigan bankers.

If it is because Michigan banks are

able to meet the legitimate short-time

credit needs of their responsible farm-

er customers, then Michigan is to be

congratulated for her outstanding po-

sition among the agricultural states in

this regard. If it is because the bank-

ers who cannot satisfy those needs

from present resources, if there are

such, will not take the necessary trou-

ble to avail themselves of this source

of additional funds for this purpose,

that fact should be brought out. If,

as has been charged from some sec-

tions of the state, there are bankers in

the profiteer class who prefer to ex-

tort a high rate of interest by extra

legal means rather than to handle this

government money for the accommo—

dation of their financially responsible

farmer patrons on a two per cent mar-

gin, that fact should be known of all

men.



Let us repeat briefly the plan under

which this government aid can be

made available to Michigan farmers:

The War Finance Corpdration does

not loan money direct to farmers. It

merely advances money to banks OI

agricultural loans which have already

been made. This





     





the functioning of this-





advancement is 1insist on learning the reason





formal application for such advance

to the Agricultural Loan Agency for

Michigan, through its chairman, Wil-

liam J. Gray, Ford Building, Detroit.

This application must be accompanied

by prescribed statements from the

bank and from the farmers on whose

paper the advancement is desired,

which paper must be submitted for

approval and indorsed by the bank.

The loan must be for agricultural pur-

poses within the meaning of the law,

which is intended to cover emergency

needs for current agricultural opera.-

tions.



From this it will be seen’that the

farmer who is entitled to this service

from his bank must be financially re—





‘sponsible for the loan or be able to





give satisfactory collateral security.

The loan must be‘ for the financing of





some current or emergency agricultur-‘





al need. And he must have reserve

credit which entitles him to considera-

tion. In other words, he must not

have already borrowed from his bank

the limit which the law or its rules

permit it to loan to any single cus-

tomer.





But given these conditions, any

farmer is entitled to this service from

his bank. And if under these condi‘

tions he is refused the service he is

entitled to know the reason why. and

if it is not a good reason. to make a

noise about it. “And in every case

where under these conditions any

farmer who applies for a loan at his

local bank is asked to pay a bonus

above the legal interest rate of seven

per cent it is his duty to make a big

noise about it. We hope that with

this- source of money available to

Michigan bankers to cover their good

agricultural loans there will be no

such cases. But if there are we would

like to know about it.





We want to see this plan for emer-

gency credit to farmers function in

this state to the full extent for which

there is need of mend would like to

know of every case where it does not

function under these conditions.



The first step toward making it

function is for. the reader. who can

meet these requirements and is in

need of emergency credit. to apply "to”

his local banker for a loan. and if it

is not forthcoming at seven per cent

from the farm. This is becauSe the

farmer wants cash and can not finance

the holding of his products for a. bet-

ter time. This being universal the

low price is lower at selling time and

the high price higher at buying time:

than they ought to be.





Cooperative marketing. is a collec.

tive effort to sell to the markets prod-

ucts as they need them and help the

farmer finance his holdings. It tends

to eliminate spasmodic marketing and

its evils. And while there may be

some losses they will not benearly as

great as those of speculative market-

ing and will be entirely overshadowed

by the gains cooperation will bring.



Cooperative marketing maybe lik-

present speculative ystem to one

ond greatest total yield of this grain





forecast, is that Michigan is lookingvand last year Michigan stepped into





to her agricixlture through her Crop.

Improvement Association, Agricultural





' College, State Farm Bureau and allied





agencies.

At this time when every farmer

feels the» burden of readjustment he





is brought face to face with the fact\





that it is not the time to increase his

acreage but it is time to make every

acre more profitable. After ‘ he has

adopted the rotation best meeting his

requirements, and has used the best

method of fitting and fertilizing his

fields, the remaining factors to be dealt





.,with are weather conditions and the





seeds he uses. Since the farmer has

no control over the former, the quality

of the seed used becomes a determin-

ing factor in the profits and losses of

his farm operations.





Farmers have long realized the im-





. portance of high- -producing strains of





farm seeds, but not until the Crop Im-

provement Associations and the ex-

periment stations in several northern

states, took up the work of inspecting

crops to be used for seed purposes and

certifying them, not only as to germi-

nation and purity but as to productivity

has the farmer been able to procure

such seeds at a reasonable cost. Prior

to the taking up of this work by these

agencies there have been some efforts

put forth by individual growers more

or less isolated, and in some cases by

seed-men, to raise the standard of farm

seeds and to improve certain varieties.

However, in most cases such seed was

not available to 'the average farmer,

or the seeds produced adapted to only

certain territories. In the meantime»,

much worthless stuff was foisted upon

the farmer at long prices by certain

dealers who renamed old varieties,

selling the so-called improved strains

at profitable prices to themselves. Such

methods have caused the farmers to

demand some protection and in many

states seed laws have been put into

effect which haveaccomplished some-

thing. Another effect of the practices

referred to, was to give the grower a

feeling of caution and uncertainty

when considering varieties of farm

seeds put out as new or improved va-

rieties. .



When the Crop Improvement Asso-

ciations and experiment stations took

up their work of varying and certify-

ing varieties of grain and seeds adap—

ted to their various states, the work

of improvement received a great stim-

ulus and farmers and growers were

eager to test out the new or improved

strains, and in many instances farm-

ers became competent certified seed





growers.





“The formation of The Michigan

Crop Improvement Association in 1910





' made it possible to secure the rapid





increase, on a state-wide scale of su-

perior varieties developed at the Mich-





igan Agricultural College. ”





The rapid distribution of Rosen Rye,

Red Rock Wheat, Worthy Oats, and

other varieties developed by Professor

F. A. Spragg, plant breeder at the

Michigan Agricultural College, are ex-

amples of the effectiveness of an or-





'1 ganized method of distributing im-

i proved varieties.





"In addition to producing a great





variety of cash crops, Michigan has be.-

- come known for its high production of





 





first place with a total production to-

taling fourteen per cent of the own

try’s rye crop.”



This achievement was made possible

through the wide use of Rosen Rye, a

remarkably high-producing variety

bred and developed at the Michigan

Agricultural College 'and distributed to

the farmers by the Michigan Crop Im-

provement Associaiton during recent

years. That thisvariety is high in

quality as well as production is shown

by the fact that Michigan entries at

last year’s International Hay and Grain

Show, won twenty-nine of the thirty

prizes offered in rye classes, with Ros-

en Rye.



Another outstanding variety of grain

which has come into its own in Mich-

igan and other states as well through

the work of the Crop Improvement 'As-

sociation is Red Rock Wheat. This

wheat produced by Frank A. Spragg,

plant breeder, had plenty 'of good qual-

ities which were soon recognized when

put on the certified seed list by the

association. Red Rock Wheat is a





very hard red wheat as its name im-

plies. It is a bearded red wheat hav-

ing a stiff straw, standing up when all

varieties tested with it lodged more

or less, standing the winter well. As

to what is thought of Red Rock Wheat

and Rosen Rye in other states than

Michigan maybe seen in the fact that

at a'meeting held early in the year by

the Chicago Board of Trade to‘consid-

er plans for the 1921 Grain and Hay

Sliow,~represeniatives of other states

complained about having to compete

with Michigan Rosen Rye and Red

Rock Wheat. It was stated that these

two Michigan varieties were of such

superior quality that the varieties

grown in other states could not win

prizes when put up against Red Rock,

and Rosen. The idea of placing these

varieties in special classes was con-

sidered, but the committee decided

that if Michigan produced such supe-

rior grain, it made an excellent mark

for other states to aim at.



Other seeds registered by the Michi-

gan Crop Improvement Association

are: Oats, barley, beans, corn, soy-

beans, vetch and sweet clover (bien-

nial and annual), Professor Spragg is

at present at work producing a hardy

alfalfa which will produce seed in

Winter Work for Farmers





ROF. C. A. SAUER, of the Depart-



ment of Geography of the Univer-

sity of Michigan, has raised the ques—

tion whether or not the long northern

winters do not impose on farmers a

handicap in comparison with farmers

farther south, and he suggests that

some governmental agency undertake

an investigation to determine just how

far the seasonal forced idleness that

occurs _in winter really constitutes

economic handicap.



Without awaiting the results of such

an investigation, Professor Sauer asks

whether or not it is not possible to

develop household industries that will

make money for northern farmers in

the winter time, and calls attention to

many such industries as practiced by

the' farmers of north Europe—chair—





‘making, basketry, and" the like. He





suggests, for example, that there may





 





; be h n'dicrafts which the Finnish farm—l.

- ‘w '»-ipropdsition to‘ see if there is anything





side, and notes that there may be de-

veloped a market for hand-made, farm-

er-made goods. that will materially add

to the family income.



I have heard of one Finnish farmer

who on the side makes skis, and of

another who has produced more than

fifty spinning-wheels, not because of

their anti uarian interest but for their

utility in ,he home-spinning of home-

grown wool to be used in making

home—knit mittens and socks. There

has also been a considerable tendency

to, undertake toy manufacturing in

northern Michigan cities, and this

might lead to something of the sort in

the country after the fashion of the

Thuringian mountain folk of Germany.

There is also the possibility of a de-

partment store market for home-made

embroidery and other feminine pro-

ductions. All in all, it may be worth

the while of the new Bureau of Agri-

cultural Development to look into this





 

 





   





Michigan. This will later be'reglster-

ed. He is continually testing‘stralnsl;

and seeing to it that the varieties: alas

ready put out are kept pure. Seed p0?

tatoes are now being inspected and-

certified by the Michigan Potato Grow-

ers' Exchange. ‘ '



After the formation of the crop Im-

provement Association and the plan of

registration of superior seed was in-

augurated careful gram growers were

quick to grasp the opportunity of pro-

ducing certified seed for others. In

this way specialized seed growers

were developed, here and there over

the state giving Michigan farmers»

seeds adapted to their needs at a rea-

sonable cost.



A special system of inspection of W7

fields of grain grown for seed purposes ‘ h

before harvest and a careful inspection

of threshed grain samples has been

adopted. The inspection is paid for by

the growers and the Michigan Crop

Improvement Association, but it is di-

rected by the Crops Department of the

Michigan Agricultural College.





Any farmer can become a member

of the Michigan Crop Improvement As-

sociation on the payment of the annual

dues of one dollar, but in order to sell

his grain under the trademark of the

association, he must submit to its in-

spection by its agents and pay all at-

tendant costs. The requirements for

any cron to pass inspection includes a.

clause as to the purity of variety, and

freedom from obnoxious weed seeds,

not exceeding one—half of one per cent

of weed seed. Inspected seeds must

be threshed in such a manner as to

eliminate mixture in threshing and

must be pure, thoroughly recleaned

seeds. They must have been treated

for disease and smut.





It is difficult to keep improved

strains from becoming mixed with in-

ferior varieties. Many times such mix-

ing becomes so extensive that the

quality and yield are impaired and the

variety is said to have “run out.” The

itinerant thresher is largely responsi—

ble for this condition. By threshing

wheat after oats, and rye after cats,

but in no case threshing wheat after

wheat, rye after rye or wheat after

rye, unmixed seeds are secured.

Community cooperation in growing

lessen the danger of mixing varieties.

This is the thing that. is now being ac-

EASTERN MICHIGAN FRUIT GROW-

ERS GET TOGETHER.





 





D ESPITE the stormy weather there



was a fair-sized crowd of fruit

growers at the Almont meeting of the

Huron Fruit Belt and Oakland County

Horticultural Societies, Tuesday, No-

vember 8.



After a few appropriate opening re.-

mark‘s by A. M. Bullock, president of

the Huron Fruit Belt Horticultural So—

ciety, who acted as chairman, Mr. E.

J. Ver Duyn, of Oakland county, told

of the many good things learned on

the horticultural tour held during the

past summer through Oceana and Ma;

son counties.



Mr. W. C. Dutton, associate profes—

sor at the‘experiment station, who has

been doing some thorough experiment-

al work in the use of dust in place of

spray for insect and disease control

gave some interesting facts regarding

this work. He found that dusting in—





creased the keeping qualities, especial-

ly of such perishable fruits as plums

and peaches. In insect control, how-

ever, spraying in most cases showed

the best results.



The chief essentials of vineyard

management were given by J. Pome

roy Munson, who has been very suc-

cessful with gauges and small fruit

near Grand Rapids. His favorite va-

rieties are Worden, Concord, Deleware

and Niagara. The Worden is his fav-

orite as it produces more fruit than

the Concord and is more profitable to

nearrby markets. ‘



Mr.,Harry Rackham, member of the

horticultural committee of the state

society, explained the relations be-

tween the Horticultural Society and

the experiment station in the. planning

of the horticultural experiments car-

ried on at the Graham Experiment

Station at Grand Rapids.



In speaking of the possibilities of

fruit-growing in eastern Michigan, Mr.

C. B. Cook, county agent of Oakland

county, said that this section contain-

ed greater possibilities for successful

fruit growing than most any part of

the country.

tions were ideal and there is not

enough of the right kind of fruit

grown locally to supply the markets.



Prof. R. E. Marshall, of M. A. C.,

gave an interesting discussion on the

essentials of good pruning. He advo-

cated the moderate pruning of young

trees to develop a good framework for

future crops. On older trees an annual

pruning was recommended so that the

cutting of large limbs was not neces-

sary.

VEGETA BLE GROW ERS’ NATIONAL

CONVENTION.





 





HE thirteenth annual convention





of the Vegetable Grow‘ers’ Asses





ciation of America. was held at Al-

bany, New York, during the week end—

ing November 5, with one of the best

programs ever given by the organiza-

tion.



The election of ofl‘icers for the en.

suing year resulted as follows: Pres-

ident, Louis F. Miller, of Toledo, Ohio;

vice-president, H. A. Dooley, of Cleve-

land, Ohio; secretary, C. H. Nissley,

of New Brunswick, N. J.;' treasurer, H.

J. Cheney, of Grand Rapids, Michigan.





A resolution was also adopted “ear-

nestly requesting that the congress of

the United States allocate to the relief

of the starving people of Russia, for

seed purposes, the seed supplies ordi-

dinarily distributed to the farmers of

America through the congressional

l‘ree seed distribution, and that such

seeds be distributed through the

agency of the American Relief for

Starving Russia.” .



Extension Secretary C. W. VVaid sig-

nified his inability to continue his

present official capacity because his

duties have so multiplied that the





-work of the organization had become





a burden. He was extended sincere

appreciation for his conscientious ser-

vice.

MICHIGAN RESOLUTIONS FOR

AMERICAN FARM BUREAU.





 





ICHlGAN Farm Bureau members



have presented an initial list of

nine resolutions to the resolution com-

mittee of the American Farm Bureau

Federation for the consideration of the

delegates when they work out the 1922

program of the nati a1 organization

at Atlanta, Ga, No mber 21-23. The

Michigan resolutions were adopted by

the State Farm Bureau exécutive com-

mittee at Lansing on November 8.



A resume of the Michigan State

Farm Bureau statement and resolu-

tions addressed to the American Farm

Bureau Federation Resolutions Com-

mittee follow:





1. That in the interests of the wool

growers and the consuming public of

the United States, congress be asked

to pass the Truth-in-Fabrics legisla-

tion now pending.



2. That congress protect- the public

and fruit growers of .the nation by a





. Truth-in Fruit Juices law Which would





prohibit the foisting of artificial fruit

juices upon the public under the state.

vent the filled condensed milk indus-

try from wrecking the American dairy

products market through manufacture

and sale of a low—food-value artificial

products. .



4. That the American Farm Bureau

Federation investigate the proposed

transferal of bureaus from the Depart-

ment of Agriculture to other depart-

ments of the national government,

with the view of determining whether

or not such transferals would result to

the farmer’s advantage and to take

action accordingly.





5. That the American Farm Bureau

Federation by resolution approve At-

torney-General Daugherty’s. position in

declaring for the free and unhamper-

ed distribution of all food products, es-

pecially canned goods, because of the

economic importance of such free and

unhampered distribution of food prod-

ucts to the farmers and to the con-

suming public of the nation.





. That the American Farm Bureau

Federation and all other agencies, in-

cluding the Interstate Commerce Com-

mission, continue their efforts to se—

cure reductions in transportation rates

which will be comparable to the liqui-

dation the farmer has made in his bus-

iness and which will nable the farmer

to again use the rail oads as an eco-

nomical means of sending his products

to: market.





7. That the United States govern-

ment be commended and given hearty

support in its action in initiating the

disarmament conference, both as a

means of insuring future peace and as

a means of reducing the heavy burden

of taxes. , - .

ANY of the most discouraging



mistakes in the farming busi-



ness are the result of buying

farms without due investigation of

their merits. A man can always see

certain things about his own farm

which he will miss in another farm.

Association with his business brings

Out its weak points. If a farmer be-

comes discouraged he will magnify all

the bad points of his own farm and at

the same time see only the good things

in a farm several miles away. This

condition of mind frequently leads to

- quick changes that neither benefit the

mental condition of the business farm—

er er his pocketbook.



From experience we have learned

several of the things that it pays to

consider when buying a farm. Trace

the fences clear’around the farm and

note the condition of the wire and the

posts. If repairs are needed, jot down

their approximate cost. It is very ex-

asperating trying to manage a stock

farm without adequate fencing. Farm-

ers who try it are constantly on their

mettle} trying to keep cows and hogs

out of crops .and beside the nerve-

racking experience there is usually a

lot of destruction unless good fences

are built soon after moving to the

farm. , 4

The water supply is very important

to the health of the family and a

steady supply is needed for the stock.

If the farm has a shallow dug well that

goes dry every summer it pays to

know that fact before buying the land.





   





 





 





 





 





005mg Of a Farm Home





T fiere are Certain- Essentia/J to Loot Far Wém Selecting a Farm Home





By R. G. Kirby





It costs a lot of'money to drive a deep

well at present prices and during the

hot summer months the cattle need a

lot of water and a good well is an im-

portant asset in the business.



Not the roofs'on the buildings. Many

old farms have buildings shingled fifty

years ago with a grade of shingles

which were very fine. But they are

often in worse condition than they

look and you cannot tell how many

leaks are present unless you'visit the

buildings on a. very rain day. And

real estate men for the convenience of

themselves and passengers are apt to

make most of their trips on sunny

days. The first week after buying our

farm we had to buy seventeen thou-

sand shingles for the house, as a long

hard rain followed by a careful inspec—

tion of the roof proved " that those

shingles were needed right away in-

stead of in a year or two as we had

figured on a sunny day.





A good read is a business asset, es-

pecially during the winter and on rainy

days when a farmer can leave his‘work

occasionally. Of course, it is useful in

marketing at all seasons. If you are

on a main road it brings chances to

sell produce at the door. The only

disadvantage of a main road is the

amount of traffic at night. This is

sometimes a nuisance when you are

tired and wish to sleep and have three





or four visits from travellers who wish

to call up the garage or borrow a

pump, tire patch, quart of gas, gallon

of engine oil, etc. I know some farm-

ers on main roads who sometimes wish

their farms were a little more seclud-

ed, possibly on a good side road about

a quarter of a mile from the main line

of traffic. ‘ I write this to emphasize

that a very nice farm home can be

built up on the side road. It does not

have to be on the main line as there

are some disadvantages to such a lo-

cation as wellis the advantages.



A farm near good churches and

schools has an added value. The fam-

ily with small children,may buy a

farm far from the school and then find

that. their location is quire a handicap

when the children arrive at school

age. In many sections the consolidat-

ed schools with their auto busses have

helped solve the problem for farmers

who do not live within easy walking

distance of a school. ‘



The distance to a good market city

is of great importance. It" you sell

truck, small fruit and poultry products

you will usually have better luck near

a good city. It” you are to be a, live

stock and grain farmer you can locate

on land at a greater distance and still

make money it" you have good luck.

The farms near a city usually cost

much more 111011ey than more distant





 





farms. The amount of money tied up

in your land is of great importance in

determining whether it is a business

success or not.



The basis of a farm is good soil. You

cannot have a few bits analyzed and .

know much about the crop-producing

ability of the farm. It pays to see the V;

crops on the land you expect to buy.

Then visit with the neighbors and find .

out whether they are doing well and“?

if the land in question is considered 5;

good. In a few short visits with the ,

neighbors you will also learn Whether '

you like the section or not. It means '

a lot to like the neighbors. Your best I,

and dearest friends may live one hun- '

dred miles away but the neighbors

down the road will be closest to you :

nearly all the time and handiest to

depend upon if you tumble off the hay

wagon or the barn burns or the baby

is sick or you need help at threshing

time. And their friendly visits every

few days will mean more than a couple

of hours every other year spent with

the good friend that you loved many

years ago.



When looking at a farm give the

buildings a thorough study. Picture

yourself using them day after day for

three hundred and sixty—five days per

’year. If the arrangement of the sta-

bles seems awkward you might as

well know it first as last. if you have

not the capital for extensive improve-

ments on buildings you must realize

that you are buying the foam that you

will have to use.

that inspiration. may lead us, in our

enthusiasm, to overdraw the picture,

face of the big earth is that encom-

the place which we call home,

Franciséo Farm, and recount the

thrills, the aspirations, the discourage—

ments, the triumphs that she has Wit-

through some of the hard places in

life will understand better why she

means so much to me. Through the‘

eyes of the casual observer Francisco

agently rolling, pleasing surface. Rea-

sonably productive, fairly prosperous,

thoroughly practical.

Soil Type.



The soil of Francisco Farm may be ,.

classed as clay loam somewhat varia-.

ble, upon which originally. grew .

mighty forests of hardwood. A few

acres contain a rather liberal admix-

ture of sand and still others run even '

into the muck. These acres are very ’

few, however, and while they have

been consideled in the layout of the .

fields, they have had little influence in?

detelmining the plan of farming.



Live Stock. -



As stated above, the general plan of '

farming has been built around a sys-

tem of live stock husbandry. The live

stock of the farm has been the first

consideration, and'rthedive stock intern '

ests have centered largely aroundtlle

growing and developing of beef‘ cattle

and hogs. Starting twenty years ago.

much attention was given to the

had to give way to the long, tall, ex-

tremely large, heavy-boned, big-litter

kind in keeping with the popular con-

ception of What a good hog ought to

be. _ Such was the influence of the first

pure-bred sire, that the female popu-

lation of the swineherd rapidly lost

caste and gave way entirely to the

more efficient pure-bred producers.

The farm is not an ideal hog farm,

neither does our equipment or system

of farming lend itself readily to the

extensive production of hogs. We find

that a fair-sized herd, around" fifty or

sixty head, usually works in conven-





yiently, does not necessitate the pur-





chase of a great amount of feed, and

practically always proves profitable.





Eventually we hope to work out a

plan that will enable us to handle a

few sheep. We like them and feel that

there is a niche on many Michigan

farms that can be filled by sheep bet-

ter than by any other class of farm

animals. So far our little ventures in

shepherding have been but temporary,





In a general way Francisco Farm

must be considered successful. A self-

made farm, so to speak. That is to

say, funds from no other business have

ever been used in her development,

and her fields have steadily gained in

productive power. She has each year

made her full contribution to the sup-

port of civilization, and in addition

sent the young folks to school and col-

lege. She has also paid in cash’for

practically all of the labor performed

upon her. She is a plain, practical,

commonsense farm, a demonstration

of the practicability of business meth-

ods applied to farming.



It is from this source largely that

these notes will be drawn, and if they

may offer some inspiration, some hope,

some encouragement from time to

time, to the one who chances to read

them, we shall feel that our effmts

have been worth while.





ANNUAL FRUIT GROWERS’ MEET-

ING.





 





OLLOWING announcement of the

annual convention of the Michigan

Horticultural Society at Grand Rapids

on December 6-8, it is indicated that





the number attending will this time be

‘ increased to nearly. one thousand. -T.

VA. Farrand, extensioii specialist at M.

tion, has recently completed a swing





 





about the chief fruibgrowing, sections

bids worked up three to five cents a





 





production and marketing. Many grow-

ers who have never befom attended a

meeting of the society have expressed





their intentions of being on hand this ,





year. . I ~



One of the Vmost important matters

to be brought before the meeting will

be the report of the committee on ex-

perimental work recommending a few

This committee was appointed nearly

a year ago and has been cooperating

with individual growers and the col.

lege in tests carried on at various or-

chards. Fruit men will be urged to

limit their selection of varieties for

future planting to lists presented by

the committee.



Other vital problems to be discussed

will be “Orchard and Small Fruit Fer-

tilization.” “The Possibilities in Pre<

cooling and Cold Storage,” “Spraying

and Dusting,” and “Insect and Disease

Control.” .

RESULTS OF THE ALLEGAN

COUNTY CAMPAIGN.





 





IMMEDIATE benefits from the cam-



paign were the forming of three

cooperative cow-testing associations,

securing of a long list of names of

dairymen interested in the purchase

of pureb1ed siies or in forming com<

munity bull associations, and convinc—

the fa1me1s of the necessity of testing

then heids for tuberculosis. Professor

Cox’s lectures on alfalfa were driven

home so forcefully with the aid of sta-

tistics that in all probability a larger

acreage will be planted next spring

and summer.





Eighty neighborhood meetings were

held during the ten days on Allegan

farms and approximately one thou-

sand farmers attended these gather-

ings. The ten evening sessions drew

out more than twelve hundred farm-

ers. Both County Agriculturist Alfred

Bentall, of Allegan, and specialists

from the Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege who were on the tour, have ex-

pressed their entire satisfaction with

the success of the campaign. In addi-

tion to meeting many farmers who sel-

dom if ever attend the big farmer

gatherings at the college each winter,

the specialists greatly benefit through

rubbing elbows with the rank and file‘

of Michigan dairymen and seeing first-

hand their problems and learning from

them their views and experiences on

dairy problems.





 





EGG PRODUCTION LOW THIS

FALL.





 





PERHAPS the lightest fall egg pro-



duction in the last decade is being

gathered in Michigan this fall. Fig~

ures compiled by packers in western

Michigan where some of the leading

poultry counties in the state are locat-

ed indicate that the fresh egg receipts

this fall have been forty per cent less

than a year ago and fifty per cent less

than last January. Production fell off

sharply late in September and contin<

ued its downward course into Novem-

ber when many of the hens began red-

covering from the melting period and

the young pullets commenced to lay.





.Quotations on fresh eggs in Grand





Rapids advanced ten cents‘a dozen in

one week. All through October,’how

ever, quotations this year were from

fifteen to twenty cents a dozen under

ENTIRETY PROPERTY.





 





, A neighbor of We came here- a. few



years ago and bought a farm, under a

land contract and in the meantime

‘worked the land and paid for it. All

legal transactions and business were

done in his name. There was a joint

, deed or agreement between him and

Could

She sell; half of the farm and give a.

legal title?——D. H. P.



This property is held by what is

known in law as an estate by entirety.

And one of the peculiar incidents of

such a title is that neither party can

make any contract binding on any in-

terest in the property without the





other joining in it.—J. R. n.





 





DEFENSE TO NOTE.





 





, I‘bought a cow- and separator at a.

public auction sale and after paying

:my note for same, I found that there

.is a chattel mortgage against them.

Do I have to pay the note and besides

give up the cow and separator? The

property in question was advertised

gage knew it. Would you please and

MODEL GOW' STALL.





 





Would you tell me or send me in»

structions, how to make the model

cow stalled—B. M.





The philosophy of the model cow





, stall is to furnish the cow with a clean





bed to lie on and compel her to lie

on it. The grain and ensilsge manger

is on a level with the floor of the stall.

twenty inches above that the hay or

roughage manger begins, that is only

six inches wide at the bottom. the side

next to the alley being boarded up

tight while the side next to the stable

slants back at an angle of forty-five

degrees and is made of four-inch cleats

put on four inches apart. The bottom

of this hay manger is a 2x4 or a 2x6

and the slats are nailed to this. The

real important feature of 'the stall is

a 2X4 placed edgewise across the stall

just in front of the cow’s hind feet,

Which forms the back part of the bed

for the cow to lie on, the cement mans

ger furnishing the front part. This is

to be filled with sawdust or dry earth

or straw. To determine where this

2x4 should he placed, watch the cow

place her hind feet when she is eating

grain out of the lower manger. The

2X4 should be placed just in front of

her hind feet, therefore the cow can

not get her feet onto her bed. When

she is eating hay, the slanting rack

compels her to step back and the drop-

pings are deposited far enough beyond

so that she does not soil her feet.

When she wants to lie down, she has

to step up and lie on this bed or else

she must lie right across this 2x4.‘

Now and then there is a cow that you

really‘ have to educate'to go to bed,

but only a small percentage of them,

as it is nothing for a cow to step

slightly ahead when she goes to lie

down. ” .



The cow can be tied with a chain.”

makes little difference. You can give

her liberty to back up and take as

much exercise as the stall will permit,

but when she lies down she must lie

kept continually in the same stall the «





year around without having their ud-

der or side or flanks soiled a particle

by the filth of the stable—C. C. L.





 





MEALY BUG ON HOUSE PLANTS;





 





What is. affecting my house plants

and what can i do for them? There

, is a sort of bug on "them which looks

like a carpet bug, only it is white, al-

most a mouldy colon—Mrs. G. Z.



A number of'difilerom house-plants





are subject to the attack of a small .





white insect known as the mealy bug.

They commonly congregate in the ax-

ils of the leaves and among the main

veins on the under sides of the leaves.

The adults are really of a cream-color,

heavily dusted with a fine powdery

substance.



When the femaleis ready to deposit

her eggs she settles her long sucking

mouthparts into the plant tissue, and

becomes stationary, at least for a time.

Here she secretes a white. cottony

mass or nest in which, on careful ex-

amination, a great number of small

cream-colored eggs are to be found.

There are a number of generations

each year.



The following methods have proved

to be satisfactory to a degree: Fill

a washtubk two-thirds full of warm

soapsuds (soft-water and ivory soap

is best), and in this give the infested

plants a thorough bath, being careful

to loosen all egg-masses. The addition

of nicotine at the rate of a teaspoon-

ful to a pint of the suds, increases the

effectiveness of this bath. After this

the plant should be rinsed in clear

warm water.——E.. McD.





 





SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE.





 





I wish to sow about six acres of

sweet clover for pasture next year.

Knowing you have had good success I

am writing you in regard to a few of

the details. Is it near enough like

alfalfa so that I can follow the same

methods I have with alfalfa viz: Fall

plow, work .well into June and seed?

This field is rough and of a light clay

order. I expect to draw marl and cov-

er at the rate of two yards per acre.

Will the. frost act on the marl drawn

and piled on the field so that I can

sow next spring with a lime sower?

Is there any danger in posturing sweet

clover too short after the first year?

If it gets a good top, should one pas‘

lure any the first year?



We believe you will get very good

results if you seed sweet clover by

the method described above. As a gen-

eral rule, sweet clover is seeded with

a nurse crop. Since sweet clover oc-

cupies the land only two years, farm-

ers do not usually feel justified in

spending as much time and money in

losing the use of the land in preparing

the seed-bed for sweet clover; how-

ever, if the land is rough and it is not

advisable to seed oats or barley, the

land may be prepared and seeded in

June. ,



Sweet clover is proving a very valu-

able pasture crop under Michigan con-_

ditions. It should be pastured early

enough in the season that a coarse,

rank growth will not develop. How-

ever, if a few plants are allowed to

mature seed, toward the end of the

season it will help '«in‘ prolonging the

stand. If a, 'good too. growth is secur-

ed the first season: judicious pasturin ‘





will not injure. the stand. '

CHAPTER X.

The Blind Man’s Eyes.



, 3 ALF an hour. later, Connery un-



H locked the door of Eaton’sv com-

, partment, entered and closed

the door behind him. He hadbrought

in Enton’s. traveling bag and put it

down.



“You understand,” said: the conduc-

tor, “that when. a train is stalled like

this it is considered as if under way.

So I have local police power, and I

haven’t exceeded my rights in put-ting

you under arrest.”



\ “I: don’t recall.- that I_ have question:

ed your right,” Eaton answered rather

shortly. '



“I thought you might question it

now. I’m going to search you. Are

you going to make trouble or needn’t

I send. for help?"



“I’ll: help you.” Eaton took off his

coat and. vest and handed them over.

The conductor put them on a seat

while he felt over his prisoner for

weapons or other concealed objects.

Eaten. handed him a pocket-knife, and

the» key to. his travelingbag~—he had no»

other keys-from his trousers pockets.

The conductor discovered nothing:

else. He found a pencilwbut no pa.-

pers or“ memorandum book—a plain

gold. watch, unengraved, and a bilt

fold: containing seven hundred dollars

in United. States bank-notes in the

vest. Connery wrote out a receipt for

the money and handed it to- his pris«

onen. He returned the other articles.

In the coat; the conductor found. a

handkerchief and in another pocket

the torn- scraps of the telegram deliv-

ered to Eaton in his berth.



“That’s the one we had the fuss over

in the dining car,” Eaton volunteered,

as the conductor began fitting the

scraps together.



“You forgot to completely destroy

it, th?"



“What was the use 2’" Eaton took up

the other’s point of view. “You had a

copy. anyway."



“You might have wanted to get rid

of it since the discovery of the mun

der.”



“Minder?"



“I: guess it’s the same thing.” The

conductor dropped the scraps into an

envelope and put it in his pocket. He

examined the coat for a tailor’s name.



“That coat was copied by a China

man- in Amoy from the coat [had be-

fore. Before the new one was made,

I took out the name of the other tailer

so it wouldn‘t be copied too,” Eaton

remarked in explanation of the lack of

7 any mark. Connery handed back the

‘ 53’ coat, went out and locked the door be-

hind: him.



Eaton opened his traveling bag and

checked over the contents. He could

tell that everything in it had been

again carefully examined, but nothing

more had been taken except the small

Chinese-English dictionary; that‘ was

now gone. There had. been. nothing in

the bag to betray any other identity

than the one he had given. Eaton put

the bag: away and went back to his

seat by the window. _



The clear, bright day was drawing

toward its dusk; there had. been no

movement or attempt to move the

train; all day. ' About six o’clock, as

people began passing forward to» the.

diner, Connery‘appeared again With a.

waiter from the dining car bearing a

tray with dinner.



“This is ‘on’ the Department of Jus-

tice, Conductor?” Eaton tried to ask

lightly.



“The check is a. dollar twenty. If

you want this, I’ll charge it against

your money. which I have.”



“Make it, a dollar, forty-five then,”

Eaton directed. "‘And remember the

waiter.”



The black boy grinned and spread

the table.



“Blow is Mr. «”‘ Eaton began.



“Dorne ?"' Connery put in sharply.



“Thanks,“ said Eaton. “I under°

stand. How is he?"





Connery did not answer, and with

the waiter left him, locking him in

again. At ten, Connery came once

more with the porter of the car, and.

the conductor stood: by silently while

the porter made up. the berth. Eaton

went to bed with the car; absolutely

still, with only the‘ wall of snow out-

side his window and no evidence of

any one about but a subdued step oc-

casionally passing his door; Though

he had had, nothing to do all the long,

lonely hours of the evening but to

think, Eaton lay awake thinking. He

understood definitely now. that. What-

ever action was to be taken. follow-

ing his admission of his presence at

recover—would be made against him

train - had started again. He would be

turned; over to the police; inquiry

would be made; then—he shrank from

going further with these thought-s.



The night again was very cold; it

was clear, with stars shining; toWard.

drifted ‘now; for the cold had frozen

As he watched them, Eaton felt the

even if he could get away unobserved,

he would freeze; his overcoat and. hair

had been kept by Conneny. The con.-

ductor- came after a time and let in

the porter, who unmade the berth; and-

carnied aviay the linear; and later,

(Connery came again with the waiter

bringing breakfast. He had brought a

magazine. which he dropped upon: the

seat beside Eaton; and he stood by

until Eaton had breakfasted and the

dishes were carried away.



“Want to» talk yet?” he asked;



“No.”



“Is there anything else you mt?"

he ashedl,



“I’d like to see: Miss; Santoine?



Connery turned: away.



“Yum wilt tel-l Miss Santoine It have

something I want to; say to her?” E8.-

ton asked more definitely.



Commeny- turned, back. “If youive any-

thing to: say, tei'l' it. to me?" he. bade

curtly.



“It willE do no good: to. tell. it tar- you.

Will you tell her what, I asked?”



“No," said Connery.



At noon, when they brought Eaton’s

luncheon, he repeated his request and

was again. reused; but less than an

hour afterward Connery came to his

door again, and behind Connery, Eaton

saw Harriet Santoine and Avery. Ea-

ton jumped up, and as he saw the girl’s

pale face, the color left his own.





“Miss Santoine has asked to speak

to you,” Connery announced; and he

admitted Harriet Santoine and Avery,

and himself remaining outside in the-

aisle, closed the door upon them.



“How is your father?" Eaton asked

the sin!- .



“He seems just the same; at least, I

can’t see any change, Mr. Eaton.” She

said. something to-Aveny, who. nodded;

then she sat down opposite Eaton, and

Avery seated himself on the arm of

the seat beside her.



“Can; Dr. Sinclair see any differ-

ence ?” Eaton, asked.



“Dr. Sinclair will not commit him-

self except to say that so far as he can

tell, the indications are favorable. He

seems to thinkw” The girl choked;

but when she went on, her blue eyes

were very bright and her lips did not

tremble. “Dr. Sinclair seems to think,

Mr. Eaton, that father was found just

in time, and that whatever chance he

has for recovery came from you. Mr.

Avery and I had passed by the berth;

other poeple had gone by. Sometimes

father had insomnia and wouldn’t get

to sleep till late in the morning; so I

——and Mr, Avery too—would have left

him undisturbed until noon. Dr. Sin-

clair says that if he had been left as





“Wanna“sxszzmzx .::-::oz:-::-'::-::«:zo::~: .





as tha- he would have had no

chance; at all; for life.”. '



“He has. a, chance, then, now ?”



“Yes; but we don’t know how much.

The change Dr. Sinclair is expecting

may be either for better or~~worse. I

-—-I»- wanted you to know, Mr. Eaton,

that I recognizes—that the chance fath-

er may have came through you, and

that I am trying to. think of you as the

one who: gave him, the chance.”



The warm bloods flooded: Eaton’s face

and he bowed his: head; ' She, then,





. was not wholly hostile; to: him ;- she had





not been completelnt convmoed. by Av-

ery. -

“What was it you wanted ‘to tell

Miss Santoine?” Avery challenged.



“What did- Miss Santoine want to

tell me ?”



“What she has just told you.”



Eaton thought for a moment. The

realization that had come to him just

new that something had kept the girl

from: condemning him as Avery. and

(cannery had condemned him, and that

somehow, for some reason. she must

have: been fighting within herself 120'-

day and last night against the proof

of his guilt, flushed him with gratitude

and? changed the atittud‘e he had

thought it was. going to be necessary

for him to take in this talk with her.

As: he looked up, her eyes- met his;

then. she looked. quickly away. Avery

moved impatiently and repeated his

question:



“What was it you wanted to say?“



“Are they looking for any one, Miss

Santoine—any one besides me in con-

nection with the attack .upon your

father?”



She glanced at Avery and did not

answer. Avery’s eyes narrowed. “We

are quite satisfied with what we have

been doing,” he answered.



“Then they are not looking, Miss

Santoine ?”



Her lips pressed together, and again

it was Avery who answered. “We have

..not said so.”



“I must assume it, then,” Eaton said

to the girl without regarding Avery.

“I have been watching as well as I

could since they shut me up here, and

I have listened, but I'haven’t found

any evidence that anything more is

being done. SQ I'm obliged to assume

that nothing is being done. The few

people who know about the attack on

your father are so convinced and sat-

isfied that I am the one who did it

that they aren’t looking any further.

Among the people moving about on

the train, the—the man who made the

attack is being allowed to move about;

he could even leave» the train, if he

could do so without being seen and

was willing to take his chance in the

snowgand when the train goes on, he

certainly will leave it!”



Harriet Santoine turned question-

ingly to Avery again. _

an imperfect substitute for the home.

We need the school because of the lim-

of life in a farm home. Country

schools can be much better than they

OW can we start a woman’s

club?” asks a northern reader.



The first step would be to in-



vite every woman in the neighborhood

to attend an organization meeting in

some central place, the schoolhouse,

church, grange hall, or some home.

The woman, or women, taking the lead

in forming the club should have some

idea in mind before extending the in-

vitations, and if it is desired to have

some formality, should be provided

with a book on parliamentary law.

Fox, is followed by most Michigan

clubs, and has been adopted by the

General Federation of Women's Clubs.

the Twentieth Century Club, Detroit,

Michigan. Roberts’ Rules of Order are

also largely followed.





When the women gather, a leader





der, and suggest that a temporary

chairman and secretary be chosen.

These will serve until permanent offi-

cers are elected. There shoflld be a

president, vice—president, recording

secretary, corresponding secretary,

and if dues are charged, a treasurer.

There should be dues of some amount

if only five cents, as there are always

small incidental expenses in connec-

tion With every club.



After the election of permanent oili-

eers the president takes charge, com-

mittees should be appointed, and the

nature of the work to be done decided

upon. A committee on constitution

and by-laws, a program committee and

a social committee are necessary

standing committees.



There is usually little else to be

done at the first meeting, though oth-

er subjects pertaining to local condi-

tions may come up for discussion. At

the second meeting, the committees

should report, and their reports he

considered.



There are numerous subjects of

study which farm women can take up

and carry'on alone with but little ex-

pense. Of these nutrition is first in





culture furnishes many. bulletins on

the subject, and the Michigan Agricul-

tural College has many more. If de-

sired the extension department will

send a' food specialist to help the club

get started, Miss Muriel Hopkins, who

should arise, call the gathering to or-.





importance. The department of agri-»





has reéently tak'en charge of the work.”





If your county has a home agent, she

will assist.



Among the bulletins which may be

secured at Washington by writing the

Superintendent of Documents, are Milk





and its Value in the Home, No. 1207; .





How to Select Foods, No. 1, What the

Body Needs, No. 2, Cereals, No. 3,

Foods Rich in Proteins. The Michigan

Agricultural College also sends helpful

bulletins, among them being Rules for

Planning the Family Dietary.





Household management might be

studied by the aid of bulletins, such as

Farm Home Conveniences, Home

Laundering, a. Well-planned Kitchen,

Floors and Floor Coverings, etc. The

college specialist on household man-

agement, who is also to be secured for

lectures and organization meetings, is

Miss Edna V. Smith.





Clothing and textiles interest many,

and in this connection would come in-

Struction in how to tell the various

fabrics, linen, cotton, wool and silk,

the removal of stains, care of clothes,

and use of patterns, etc. Miss Helen

Arms, clothing specialist of the col-

lege, would assist in this line of work.





All these specialists may be securgi~





without charge to the club, if a su -

cient number of women are interested

in the .work. ’





. Since the life is more than meat and

the body than raiment, it is inadvisa-

ble to confine all the club programs to

a study of household matters. . Espe-

cially now that women are voting and

being called on juries they must know





something about the government of _





their country. The League of Women

Voters will give help on forcing pro-

grams which take up the study of civ-

ic, state or national questions. The

address is 628 Pingree Avenue, Detroit,

Michigan.





Ten minutes of each meeting might

be profitably spent in practicing par“-

liamentary law. “Few people, either

men or women, know how to put a mo-'

tion properly or how to second one. It

would be wise to spend a part of the

club dues in purchasing four or five

books on parliamentary law to be stud-2

ied by the members, and then to spend

a little time at each meeting in dem-

onstrating the things you have been

studying.





Clubs wishing concrete suggestions

fer programs may write this depart-

ment at any time for help. Please

state exactly what subject you wish

outlined, how often the club meets,

and what books you have available for

study.

HE gospel of Luke has been call-



‘ ed the most beautiful book in

the world. This is high praise,



but when one reads Luke understand-

ingly, he is very' likely to join the

chorus of those who praise him. The

gospel of Mark has been called the

gospel of Peter, because Mark was a

friend of Peter,.and got much of the

material for his gospel from the lips

of the hardy fisherman. In the same

way, Luke’s gospel has been called the

gospel of Paul. Luke and Paul were





' friends of many years’ standing. They





traveled together, studied together,

suffered together, witnessed together

for their Lord. The/great influence of

Saint Paul shines out in the pages of

Luke, every now and then. Some

Werses are very similar to some in the

Epistles of Paul. ,



The beginning of the third gospel is

most interesting and modern. The au-

thor of the “most beautiful book” tells

us how he came to write the memoirs

of Christ. He says that a number of

other persons had written lives of

Christ, or had started to write, and so

he had made a careful 'study of all the

facts from the very beginning. Having

arranged his material, he writes‘ his

book. -





M ANY things are told by Luke we

get nowhere else. Take the birth

and childhood of Christ. Nowhere else

do we learn that an aged priest, Zech-

ariah, is the father of John the Baptist

and that John the Baptist was a dist-

ant relative of Christ. It is an impres-

siVe scene where Zechariah enters the

dimly lighted holy of holies, and there,

alone in the silent sanctuary sees the

form of an angelic presence, and hears

a voice that tells him he is to be the

father of a great prophet, a veritable

Elijah, like unto the great prophets of

old. In like manner, Mary is told that

she is to be the mother of One. who

will be called the Son of the Most

High. All this material is found in

Luke only. No other gospel records

it. Songs follow. Indeed, Luke is the

most musical of all the'New Testa-

ment writers. Mary breaks out into a

hymn of praise, known for centuries

as the Magnificat, beginning with the

sweet words, “My soul doth magnify

the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced

in God my Savior.” And after her,

Zechariah, the father of John the Bap-

tist likewise breaks forth into song.

And a little farther on appear the an-

gels, singing to the shepherd, “Glory

be to God in the highest heavens, and

on earth peace among men who please

'Himl” . * _



This has been called the gospel to

the Gentiles. If Matthew wrote espe-

cially for the benefit of the Jews, Luke

wrote for the Gentiles. His outlook

has the universal sweep. It includes

all mankind. For intance, that most

wonderful parable, the parable of the

good Samaritan, is found in Luke only.

And the best known of all Christ’s par-

ables, the one called the parable of the

prodigal son, is likewise peculiar to

Luke. Think of that parable for a mo-

ment. It is'usually called, the parable

of the prodigal son, but a better title

would be, the parable of the loving

father, for the father is the greatest

figure in it. Picture, if you can, the





' /son as representing the Gentiles, who





had, in all the nations, wandered far

from the Father’s‘ house. They are

invited back, and no matter how far

they may have strayed, the Father

awaits them. There is a place fer them

in the bosom of God. And think of the

elder 'son, he who was so jealous and

ritated, that he would not join in the

new

ble meaning, and it is not surprising

that this has been called the gospel of

the Gentiles.





HIS is the gospel of an educated



man. Luke was a physician. He

was probably the most thoroughly ed-

ucated of the four authors of the gos-

pels. Luke is thorough in his search

for facts. His dates are accurate, he

devotes time and patience in ascer-

taining the exact‘ facts of which he

writes. He loves to present truth by

contrasts. Again and again two char-

acters are set side by side, by way of

antithesis. There are two annuncia-

tions, one to Zechariah, which he does

not believe, and one to Mary, which

she does believe. Two people greet

the infant Christ, an old man first,

then an old woman. When Christ is

at a feast, two people stand out prom«

inently, Simon, whovis rude to his

Guest, and Mary who shows her love

for Him. There is the rich man over

against Lazarus, the Pharisee over

against the publican, the sleepy neigh-

bor versus the gracious God. This is

also the gospel of childhood. and the

gospel of womanhood. Only Luke tells

ought of the childhood of Christ. Mat-

thew and Mark relate that little chil-

dren were brought to Christ, but only

Luke states that they were babes. It

was of babies, helpless and innocent,

of whom He said, “of such is the king-

dom of God.” Woman owes Christian-

ity everything. Where there is no

Christianity, woman'still holds an in-

ferior position. And in these latter

days, when woman is stepping out

more and more into prominence in

business and professional life, when

women are operating big farms, and

now that the ballot is open to women

as well as men, all over the United

States, this book ought to have a par-

ticular appeal». The gospel tells more

about women than the other three gos-

pels combined.



It is also the gospel for the poor.

“The poor ye have always with you,”

we are told, and in spite of all modern

political systems and social theories,

it seems to be so. In the very begin

ping-when Mary breaks out into her

immortal song of thanksgiving, she

says, “The hungry hath He filled with

good things; and the rich he hath sent

empty away.” The only people who

are told of the birth of the Messiah

are shepherds, watching their flocks at

night. When the days of purification

were ended, and the parents made

their sacrifice in the temple, according

to the ancient law, they offered a pair

of turtle doves, or two young pigeons,

the sacrifice of the very poor. Luke





says that at the first sermon preached ‘





by our Lord, He said, “He annointed

me to preach good tidings to the poor.”

In the parable of Dives and Lazarus,

the beggar has the advantage at last.

Luke teaches very insistently that if a





man be rich, he must use his wealth ‘





aright, otherwise it will be a snare to

him. But not only is this the gospel

of the poor, but of the outcasts. The

ostracized, the down~and—out has a

place, in the kingdom, if he will ac-

cept it. The prodigal son is welcomed

home. Zaccheus the publican is hon-

ored by a visit of Christ, though many

would not have passed under hisroof.

“This is the gospel in which the cruel-

fied criminal, a coarse bandit who was

given up by the state as a hopeless

case, and was paying the penalty of

his many crimes, walked straight into

paradise with the sinless Lord. In this

gospel the harlot and the criminal,

the prodigal and the pariah, of what-

ever class 0r condition, are freely of-

fered the society and the service" 01’

N the spring of 1919 the first pig



clubs of Eaton county were started.



They were organized under the di-

rection of former County Agent T. A.

Farrand, and later were taken charge

of by the present farm bureau force,

R. E. Decker and R. W. Tenny.



Four clubs were started that year.

Three selecting the Poland China.

breed and one the Duroc. Nothing was

unusual about this or about the fact

that a certain boy joined the Duroc

club on the same basis as many oth-

ers. There were no pure—bred hogs or

the farm, at the time his pig was

brought home. He gave his pig ordi-

nary care that year and showed her

along with the rest of the pigs from

his club, at the county fair in the fall

-——but without success._ He took her

home, and the next spring she gave

birth to a litter of pigs. It was a small

litter but they grew and when fall

came he decided. to take his best gilt

to the fair. She was shown to first

place, ‘and won for him a high—class

Duroc gilt, offered by the Michigan

Duroc Breeders’ Association. In the

meantime the original sow, with which

he had started club work became so

weak on her feet as to make it un-

wise» to keep her for a breeder any

longer, so she was sold to the butcher.



But the winning of the gilt prize at





|the fair gave the hero of our story a.

'new enthusiasm.





That year he was

made leader of his local club. It was

this same fall that he entered the judg-

ing contests, but was not able to win.

But he did not become discouraged or

give up, he was determined more than

ever to win next year, and he did.





This fall he easily made the team

which represented his county at the

State Fair judging contest. He won

the highest honors in all—round judging

——a trip to the International, and high-

est in judging dairy cattle—ea trip to

the National Dairy Show in Minne-

sota. These are no small honors, but

they are only the beginning.



When the local fair was held he was

present with two gilts and two boars.

Thirty-eight, Duroc gilts Were driven

out in the club class. It was a very

strong class, with pigs representing

several of the larger breeders of the

state. It was a gilt belonging to our

hero that placed first, and won for him





A, Su'cccssful Duroc Breeder

By Jo/zfzrzy i





the highest honors in any live stock

contest at the fair. This gilt’s dam

was the first prize gilt a year ago in

the same contest, and bred, raised, and

shown by our friend.



This is only a part of the winning

and honors which he has achieved.

Yet he has attained no more than any

farmer boy, ‘by joining a. live stock

club, working hard, and knowing no

such thing as defeat. The only invest-





ment he has made was the price paid .





for the original animal, as a. pig. All

the feed he has had a hand in grow-

ing on his father’s farm.



His success he owes to an everlast-

ing determination to succeed, hard

work, backed up by lots of nerve and

“pep,” and to the people of his'home

county who see fit to employ a full

time club leader, to his own helpers

and workers.



The name of this young stock breed-

er is already a household word among

club members. If you have not already

guessed it for the benefit of those few,

he is Sidney B. Philips, leader of the

Brookfield Pig Club in Eaton county.





DON’T mus TOO EARLY.





 





HERE is only one excuse-:41 poor



one for all concerned—for trapping

too early. The excuse is, of course,

that some other trapper may ‘get ahead

of you.



But where the trapper hasn’t any

competition—on his own farm, for in-

stance—or where an agreement can be

reach-ed to wait, the taking of furs at

the right time will bring far larger

returns.



In a great many cases inexperienced

trappers get out too early because they

are not quite sure when the various

furs are prime. Hence the following

may enable no inconsiderable number

of trappers to make more money out

of their work this year.



Skunk is prime in the north toward

the end of October; south, toward the

end of November. They depreciate

the middle of March.



Mink is best during November to

the end of January in the north, and

in December and January in the south.

The fur depreciates during February.



Muskrat is fair in thefall‘, when

' o LAMENEss.





I have a. fine flock of pullets, appar-

ently all in good health, but some of

them have gone suddenly lame and ap—_

pear to have no control of their legs.

They continue to grow worse until we

finally kill them. Have only had one

recover. They have been fed corn and

all the sour milk they could consume

and are on open range. Could this be

due to tubercular trouble? I have not

noticed any spots on the livers of

those killed for table use. Haven’t

examined the Sick birds-.-A. W.





If there are no nodules on the liver

or intestines of the birds affected with

lameness, the cause of the trouble is

not tuberculosis. Aspergillosis and

rheumatism and bumblefoot have lame-

ness as part of their symptoms.





With asperglllosis the birds lose

weight and have a fever, and in rheu-

matism the lameness is caused by in-

flammation of the connective tissues

of the birds. Bumblel‘oot, as you un-

doubtedly know, is an abscess which

forms on the bottom of the foot be-

cause of too high or too narrow meets

or by undiscovered wounds caused by

stepping on nails, broken glass, etc.

Opossum in' the north becomes

prime toward the first of November

south the prime fur comes about the

somewhat earlier than in the north.



If you are after raccoon in northern

territory, you will find the fur prime

about November 1. The time is a. little

later for the south.



Fox, speaking generally, is prime in

northern territory from the first of

TUBERCULIN TE'srs IN SAGI'NAw,

counrv. .v





THE campaign for the eradication

of bovine tuberculosis in Saginaw

county, begun on August 8, is proceed-

ing very satisfactorily and it is ex-

pected that at the end of the twelve

month period the county will be-prac-

tically free from this menace “to the

health of human beings and to ani-

mals as well. With 'the support of the

city food and market inspector, John

H. Zehnder, and the farm bureau, Dr.

S. P. Heath and L. C. Thomas, farm

bureau solicitor in the campaign, are

convincing the farmers of the great





'need of the work. The people want





milk from tested cows and an effort is

being made to exclude all milk from

untested herds from distribution in

Saginaw. It is a big job, however, and

only last week Inspector Zehnder bar-

red the milk from nine herds near

Montrose, Genesee county, from sale

in: the city,‘due to insanitary ,condi—

tions there in the handling of milk.



To date more than 350 herds have

been tested in Saginaw county, num-

bering more than 3,500 animals. Sev-

en townships have been entirely cov-

ered in the campaign, namely, Frank-

enmuth, Blumfield, Saginaw, Brant,

Brady, Albee and Spaulding, and parts

of James and Thomas. Farmers gen-

erally are willing to have the test of

their herds, when they thoroughly un-

derstand the need of it.



Reduced Costs of the Test.





state veterinarian, (with the aid of

government funds), the costs of the

campaign are very materially reduced

and in this county are a. little more

than $7.00 per herd. At the usual rate

charged by local veterinarians this

cost represents a saving of about $15

per herd. The actual receipts of test-

ing the first 182 herds in Saginaw,

Brant and Brady townships, and a part

of Buena Vista township, according to

County Agriculturalist Arthur G. Bo-

vay, was $1,699, of which $300 remain-

ed unexpended. Including the salary

of veterinarian, solicitor, automobile

service and clerical help, the average

cost of $7.00 per herd, as stated, is

low enough for every farmer to take

advantage of.



In carrying on this great work for

the preservation of dairy herds and

for the safety of the health of the peo-

ple in the city, as well as of farmers

themselves, it is not the purpose of

the farm bureau to interfere with the

services of regular veterinarians who,

up to the time the farm__ bureau cam-

paign, started on August 8, had tested

only one per cent of all the herds in

the county. To date the present cam-

paign_has resulted in nearly twenty-

five per cent of the herds being tested

and the reactors killed. Only about

seventy-five animals have thus far.

been condemned, out of more than:

3,500 tested, an average" of about two

and a quarter per cent. Since the

tests will be repeated yearly it is ex-

pected that the eighteen veterinarians

of Saginaw county will eventually find

their business greatly increased—MW

Shy Breederr-‘I have two Guernsey

heifers which calved last spring: Since

then they have come in heat regularly

every twenty-one days, been served by

our bull, but failed to get with calf.



' This bull gets other cows with calf.



' I have heard that they can be medi-

cated for a. few days before heat pe-

riod, then they will stick. Can you

tell me what to do for these cows?

E. M., Newberry, Mich—With a foun-

tain syringe flush vagina with clean

tepid water, follow this with a soda

solution, made by dissolving one-quar-

ter pound of bicarbonate of soda in

two quarts of clean tepid water; this

should be done two or three hours be

fore she is served. It is considered

good practice to apply this treatment

three times a week for one week be-

fore she comes in heat.





Eczema—~Bruised Hock—Our mare,

eleven years old, has been biting her-

self more or less for the past few

months; slight breaking out below the

knees and hooks, with itchy skin. An-

other horse was kicked some four

weeks ago, causing hock to swell and

leg to stock. I applied lim‘ment which

relieved him‘ of lameness, but leg is

somewhat swollen: N. W. W., Berrien

Springs, Mich.——~Apply one part sul-

phur, one-half part carbonate of pot-

ash and four pair... lard to itchy parts

three times a week. Give her a des-

sertspoont‘ul of Fowler’s solution at a

dose in feed or water three times a

day until well. Give horse a teaspoon-

ful of acetate of potash at a dose in

feed or water two or three times a

day. Bandage leg in cotton, also hand-

rub upwards three times a day, twen-

., ty minutes each time.



W eak11eSs.~~ y nine-year-old mare

tires quickly i. worked, but when rest-

ed she seems all right. Her teeth are

sound, but she slavers some, and when

drinking strangles. W. T., Eaton Rap-

ids, Mich—Place her in position fac-

ing a bright light, open mouth wide



‘ and you will perhaps notice a foreign



body in back part of mouth; if so, re-

move it. Give her one dram of ground

nux vomica and one-half ounce of pow-

dered gentian in ground feed three





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 





, times a day. She should have daily



_ . exercise, but don’t use her for heavy

work.



Chronic Stocking—I have a mare



' . _nine years old which is troubled with





stocked legs. I have always made an

effort to give this horse plenty of ex-

ercise, but this is not a remedy. A. D.,

Pittsford, Mich—Give her one dram

of potassium iodide at a dose in feed

or waterthree times a day. After a

drive bandage legs in cotton, leaving

bandages on for three hours, and don’t

forget to hand-rub legs.

' , Ticklish Mare—-Thrush.~l have a

mare that Seems to be afraid to have

, ~harness put on. She acts very ner-

‘ vous when we buckle bellyband, and is

i inclined to kick. V. W. A., East Lan-

’ ‘1 . sing, Mich—Treat her kindly, firmly,

I

!





wwww





harness and unharness her often, and

if necessary apply gag, or switch, but

take it off as soon as she is harnessed.

Calomel is a remedy for thrush.





' Garget—Barrenness.—I have a 12-

‘ year-old cow that is almost dry. She

gives thick, clotted and bloody milk.

This same cow fails to breed, but

comes in heat every thirty days. W.

B., Gladwin, Mich.—~All things consid-

ered, her having chronic udder dis-

ease, giving only a small quantity, be-

sides being barren, leads me to believe

. she should be tested with tuberculin

3 ’ to ascertain whether or not she is free



from tuberculosis or not. If free, fat-

I . ten her, but if in fair flesh and reacts,

,. .0 sell her to butcher, for her flesh may



I perhaps be fit for food.



Calf Has Lice—We have a calf that

is twelve months’ old, troubled with

lice.” W. M., Baraga, Mich—Apply one

of the coal-tar preparations which are

regularly advertised in this paper, or

apply kerosene and lard, one-half pint

to one pound of lard. Mercurial oint-

ment is another lice killing remedy.





. Hypertrophy of the Heart—Conges-



- tion of Lungs—I lost one of my best

cows and the following day a. young

bull calf died. 1' opened the cow and

found the heart much enlarged, easily

torn to pieces and full of blood. The

hull,» calf discharged blood from nos-

did' the, cow. 0. 8., Rapid Riv-

WHEAT





Wheat prices rallied rather sharply

during the first half of last week due

to improvement in the export situa-

tion, a lighter market supply and dam-

age reports from the southwest. Re-

ceipts of wheat at primary markets in

the United States have declined sharp-

ly and have fallen below one million

bushels per day for the first time

since the crop year started. At the

height of the season they were up to

3,000,000 bushels daily. The visible

supply is expected to begin decreasing

very soon. \Vith the improvement in

the foreign wheat situation and light-

er supplies on cash markets in this

country, and the new crop getting a

bad start in the southwest, it is prob-

able that the market will display a

stronger tone for a time. The large

surplus in Canada and the on—coming

crops in the southern hemisphere will

still overhang the market and must be

kept in mind in all calculations as to

the outcome of prices during the re-

mainder of the crop year.





CORN





Preliminary forcasts upon the sup-

ply of corn at the beginning of the

new crop year on November 1 were

confirmed by the government’s esti-

mates which showed a total available

supply ignoring country elevators and

mills, of about 3,453,000,000 bushels as

compared with 3,381,000,000 bushels

against 2,790,000,000 bushels during

the previous year. Producers are sell-

ing new corn rather freely and the

bulk of receipts, especially on middle-

western markets, are from the new

crop. Arrivals at primary markets are

increasing, but demand has been suffi-





cient to absorb them without further.





reductions in price. Export buying

gives promise of improvement. The

plans of the War Finance Corporation

for financing the holding of corn have

not been announced, but should be a.

strengthening factor later on.





' OATS





The oats market shows but little

change and ,fiuctuates mostly in sym-

pathy with wheat and corn. Terminal

stocks are extremely burdensome but

are believed to be near their maxi-





- , mum. Foreign demand is confined to

Canadian ; oats which are of heavy

.welght,«The averageweight per mew" . and





 





 





535'ng





itrr





~Best





ured bushel of the United States crop

was 28.3 pounds compared with a ten-

year average of 32.3 pounds. '





SEEDS





It is believed that the season of,

heavy receipts of clover seed is draw-

ing to a close. From the beginning of

the new crop season up to November

5, Toledo, the leading market, has re-

ceived 15,774 bags against 8,298 bags

in the same period a year ago, and

9,443 bags two years ago. Shipments

thus far aggregate only about 25 per

cent more than the average of the two

preceding years. Timothy seed re-

ceipts at Toledo for the season total

7,756 bags, against 5,077 bags in the

same period a year ago, and 36,909

bags two,years ago. Timothy seed

prices are holding within a small range

slightly below $3 per bushel. Red clo-

ver seed is selling within the vicinity

of $12 per bushel. The trade is won-





FEEDS





Lighter production and a slight im-

provement in demand brought an up‘

turn in some feed distributing mar-

kets although eastern points have not

been materially affected. But little ex-

port demand for oilmeals is in evi-





dence and prices are weak, especially





for cottonseed meal.





HAY





No new factors are visible in the

hay market situation. Some distribut-

ing points report firm prices, due to

light receipts but eastern markets are

dull. Country loadings are light. Both

producers and consumers appear to be

waiting for freight rate reductions. It

is possible that cold weather will in-

crease the demand.





WOOL





Foreign primary markets have been

active with prices higher. The last





 





 





auction at Antwerp showed a five per

cent advance over the October sale.

Prices at Perth in West Australia are

said to be 20 to. 50 per cent higher

than in August. The United States

governmen is expected to offer about

8,000,000 p unds of its remaining hold-

ings of 26,000,000 po‘unds at a sale ear-

ly in December. Woolen mills are still

operating at a high per cent of capa-

city on unfinished orders, but new or-

ders are not coming forward satisfac-

torily, it is said, due to a demand for

lower retail prices. A threatened

strike among garment workers may be

a factor. '





POULTRY AND EGGS





In spite of the fact that cold stor-

age holdings of eggs on November 1

*were somewhat larger than trade ex-

pectancy, prices maintained an up-

ward trend. Receipts at the four lead-

ing cities have fallen off and liberal

withdrawals from cold storage have

been necessary so‘ that the strength

in prices for fresh eggs was reflected

in refrigerator eggs. Receipts of dress-

ed .poultry continue much heavier than

at this season a year ago and storage

holdings are accumulating rather rap-

idly.

— . APPLES



The commercial apple crop forecast

was reduced slightly in the November

1 return to 18,563,000 barrels. Com-

pared with last year’s final estimate of

37,239,000 barrels. The/yield in New

York is estimated at 2,622,000 barrels

and in Michigan at 900,000 barrels.

Prices have shown but little change,

A-217é-inch Baldwins at the New York

shipping points bringing $6.50 per bar-

rel. Shipments have fallen off decided-

ly especially from the barreled apple

states. Consuming markets are quoted

at $7 @8 for Baldwins in good condi-

tion, $8.25@9 for Greenings and $8.50

@925 for Jonathans.





POTATOES





The potato crop forecast was revis-

ed in the November 1 estimate to 356,-

000,000 bushels. This is an increase

of 40,000,000 bushels over the August

1 forecast but compares with a five-

year average yield of 371,000,000 bush-

els. Potato prices have been steady

to firm during the past week, although

demand has been ramer dull. Ship-

ments for the entire United States

show a falling off of about 60 per cent

from the high point of the season.

Northern round whites, sacked, are

quoted at $1.70@1.90 per 100 lbs. in

city markets and $1.55@1.80 f. o. b.

shipping points.





BEANS





The market is very quiet and price

changes are of minor importance. Pea

beans are dull and seem to be too high

Red kidneys are dull

but steady.





GRAND RAPIDS





Bidding was competitive this week

in western Michigan for turkeys for

the Thanksgiving trade and prices

were slightly advanced over the open-

ing figure of the season. A number of

eastern buyers seeking stocks had a

tendency to stimulate both prices and

buying. There was little activity in

the potato market, most farmers held-

ing for higher prices. The few deals

transacted indicated the' tone was

slightly higher. The market on wheat

was irregular but otherwise the grain

prices were steady. The live stock

market was dull to lower with hog

prices reacting as a result of "a heavy

run of both live and dressed offerings.

And it always make a pasture lot



For Old Brindle and the Hogs.





While our corn crop is a. dandy,

And we like the Navy Bean,



Yet Alfalfa Bay comes handy

To sandwich in between.



So we’ll still raise Beans for Mssia

And corn to fat our Hogs,



But Alfalfa’s sure a hustler

And it's always on the job.

LARK L. BRODY, of Lansing, gen-





eral manager of the Michigan

State Farm Bureau, Mr. C. J. Miller,





of Union City, president of the Mich}!





gan Live Stock Shippers’ Exchange.

and Mr. E. ElCompson, of Lansing,

secretary of that organization, repre-

sented Michigan live stock men at the

Ratification Conference of live stock

producers at Chicago on November 10,

to consider the report of the Farmers’

Live Stock Marketing Committee of

Fifteen. .



“This meeting is fraught with more

possibilities for nation-wide imprOve-

ment in the meat producing business

of America than any gathering ever

held,” said J. R. Howard, president of

the American Farm Bureau Federa-

tion, as he' called to order the Ratifica-

tion Conference. “The report Of the

Committee Of Fifteen is made after

nearly a year Of investigation. It

marks the second great step in the

Farm Bureau’s plans to secure for the

producer of fOOds something to say

about their distribution. It sets up

farmer-owned and controlled live stock

commission houses at the stockyards.

It provides a plan of orderly market-

ing so as to prevent gluts on the mar-

ket and the subsequent sharp declines

in price. It represents the natural de-

velopment of the cooperativee live

stock . shipping association movement.”



Every live stock producing section

of the United States and every import-

ant live stock producers’ organization

was represented ,at the Ratification

Conference. Each State Farm Bureau

Federation had one delegate at large

and one additional delegate to each

twenty thousand members. In addi-

tion to the farm bureaus, forty-five

great live stock associations and coop-

erative commission companies repre-

senting every state sent delegates.

RYE NEEDS BIG FOREIGN OUTLET.





INCE rye production was increased



during the war to far beyond do-

mestic consumptive requirements, the

foreign outlet is highly important.

including the visible supply, was about

6,000,000 bushels. This year’s crop was

64,000,000 bushels, making 70,000,000

bushels in all. Domestic requirements

are about 30,000,000 bushels, leaving

4,000,000 for export and carryover.

About 10,000,000 bushels have gone

abroad in the last four months.

also to be recognized.
