CURRENT COMMENT





 





THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:

It pays to tickle the cow’s palate.





More farmers fail as executives than

as soil tillers.





Beans and sheep make a happy com-

bination on the general farm.





The test of good farming is in the





, available plant food remaining in the





soil.



Live stock is as important to a bal-

anced agriculture as protein is to an

efficient ration for the dairy cow.





The permanent neighborhood inter-

ests of the farming community are a

bulwark against national disintegra-





Obviously the farmer who produces

staple crops at the lowest cost is the

one who realizes the greatest financial

returns.

mote the operation

of the War Finance

and Corporation plan of

Farmers advancing money for





agricultural purposes





-~in this state we have learned consid-

. erable about the attitude of different

: classes of bankers, which we believe

, to be of vital interest to Michigan





farmers and to hold a valuable busi-





' ness lesson for them. It is difficult to





analyze this situation without doing

an injustice to a large element of per-

fectly honest and patriotic bankers

who firmly believe the present is 'a

time for conservative reduction rather

than expansion of credit all along the

line. Bankers as a class are always

conservative in their attitude in every

business emergency. Experience has

taught them this as a primary lesson





. in their line of business. And as the





safety and soundness of our financial

and business structure depends upon

their conservatism as a class, we can-





not ’3ustly criticize this general atti-





tude. It is inconvenient to most of us





, at times, but it is a factor ofsafety in

the matter of general business stabil-





ity which should not be underestimat-

ed; 80 if it may seem ions that this





' general conservatism of bankers is ov-





wardens at times we must remember

that the banker sees the problem from

.merent angle and must give first

Mention to the general business

ers in this state seem to~befirlnly op-





posed to the use of the War Fhlance.





Corporation plan in extending further

needed agricultural credit in their

communities. which seams with few

exceptions to be the case. In' our in-

vestigation of the matter We have

found them to be in a general way di-

as to their

views on this proposition. . First there

is the city banker who acts as corres-

po (1

the money on collateral loans and re-

discounting their paper in the Federal

Reserve Bank. These men are in close

touch with the business emergencies

of their industrial patrons. which in

many cases are very great, and as a

matter of course view the agricultural

emergency as a whole and at’a dis’

tance which minimizes this emergency

as compared with the industrial emer-

gency with which they are In daily and

detailed touch. They have firmly in

mind the general principle that the

process of readjustment demands a re-

striction, rather than an expansion of

credit and are bending their energies

to that end, with scant regard for in-

dividual cases outside of their immedi-

‘ate clientele. This class of bankers

believe that the War Finance Corpor-

ation plan should function principally

in providing for the extension of exist-

ing agricultural loans until they can

be repaid rather than inthe making of

new emergency loans, and that the

funds so obtained should be used in

the payment of loans to city corres-

pondent banks by the banks now hold-

ing this agricultural paper. This atti-

tude does not hold out much encour-

agement to the farmer in need of an

emergency loan, other than that it is

the shortest read to a decrease in in-

terest rates, which Will not ensue until

the banks have more money than they

can loan at present rates.





Another class of bankers who are

not favoring the functioning of this

plan is the constructive bankers of

the smaller towns who have made ev‘

ery effort to satisfy the legitimate

needs of their farmer as well as their

business patrons

short-time loans, and with a gratifying

degree of successfi It is claimed by

this class of bankers that such banks

which are members of the Federal

Reserve System are already in a posi-

tion to take care of all desirable loans,

but that non-member banks would

probably find it an advantage to make

applications for loans under the War

Finance Corporation plan. This class

of bankers, who have honestly made

every effort to serve the emergency

needs of their communities, seem to

generally take the view that there is

too much red tape connected with this

plan to make it desirable from the

banker’s standpoint, and that owing

to the publicity which has been given

to this plan, if such banks were to

make application under it they would

probably be deluged with applications

for loans from people whose credit

standing would not warrant the amount

of credit asked for, if any credit at

all, which must be considered by the

loaning bank having to guarantee the

paper under the plan. We believe this

phase of the matter is over‘emphl»

sized, but the banker who has met the

needs of his community in other ways

should not he too severely critized on

this account.





But there is another class of bank

ers whom we believe merit the most

severe criticism. This is the class of

bankers that rob their victims with as

little compunction as the hold-up ban-

dit. This class of bankers. of which

there are altogether too many in this

state,-do not hesitate to take advan-

tage of the emergency situations in

which their patrons find themselves to





collect usuriols interest through-tho





for country banks, advancing -





in the matter of-





moral hazard connected with the trans-

aptio'n. The presence of this class of

bankers in numbers in our midst is a.

menace to the prosperity of the com-

munities which they leech in the most

consciousless manner. This is a situa-

tion which demands a remedy, pre-

scriptions for which will be discussed

in the next issue.

- helpful to us if we but

recognize and apply it. This is partic-

ularly true of business experiences,

and applies to farmers individually and

collectiVely just as truly as to men en-

gaged in any line of business. In fact,

our present business practices are the

result of evolution and improvement

resulting from past experiences. Just

as truly the future improvement of our

business practices and status will .de-

pend upon our recognition and applit

cation of the lessons which present

themselves to us in our present ex-

variances.





CAREFUL exam-



ination of all the

census figures now

available, reveals to

us some interesting

information regard-

ing the business of farming herein

Michigan. Among other compilations

by the census bureau is a list of the

twenty leading crops of the country.

Twelve crops in this list are gm in

the latitude of Michigan. The other

eight are cotton, tobacco, sweet pota—

toes, oranges, kafl‘irs, sugar cane and

peanuts. In the production of the

twelve crops indigenous to this cli-

forty-eight states in the Union as fol-

Corn, sixteenth.



Rye, second.



Wheat, twentieth.



Oats; twelfth.



Potatoes, fourth.



Barley, seventh.

Census figures on the acreage and

production of forty other farm prod

tabulated these to find how Michigan

stands in the production of each.

While we cannot give the list here it

is interesting to note that in not a

single instance in the consideration of

the whole fifty-two products or classes

of products, does the state of Michigan

fall to the half-way position. In other

words. she exceeds a majority of the

states of the Union in the production

ICHIGAN farmers have long rec-

ognized the value of the clover

crop, not only as a source of a

cheap supply of excellent high protein

hay and unexcelled pasture, but as the

most important crop glown in the ordi-

nary rotation in maintaining the con-

tent of organic matter and‘ nitrogen.

Big crops of clover are followed by

big crops of corn, beans, sugar beets,

potatoes and small grains. The gr eat

decrease in the clover acreage during

the past decade is a matter of serious

import, not only from the standpoint

of present production but in consider-

ing the production of Michigan farms

ten or twenty years from now. '



According to“ the census the produc-

tion of clover grown alone in Michigan

has decreased over 39.4 per cent—a

decrease from 216, 862 tons in 1909 to

131,517 tons in 1919, or a decrease in

acreage of 28.5 per cent—from 168,180

acres in 1909 to 120,299 acres in 1919.

In 1909, 9.02 per cent of the farms of

Michigan grew clover alone. In 1919

only 6.5 per cent reported growing

clover alone. The production of clover

has fallen off one-third in a ten-year

yeriod.



The census figures are directly in ac-

cord with the experience of farmers of

long observation in practically all sec-

tions of lower Michigan who point out

the increasing difficulty of securing

stands of red clover as compared with

earlier times.‘



In the legume campaign which has

been under way for the past two

months the writer has been struck

with_ the fact that on the majority of

farms in central and lower Michigan

clover has become a precarious crop.





For instance, in-Allegan county, where,





a ten-day milk and alfalfa campaign

was held, on nine of the first ten dairy

farms where‘meetings were held, tim-

othy hay was being fed to dairy cat-

tle. This condition prevails in many

other localities. Professor Reed, of the

dairy department is emphatic in stat-

,ing that it is impossible to feed dairy

cattle economically in Michigan with-

out a cheap supply of clover or alfalfa

hay. There is a marked correlation

between prosperous farms and sleek,





. well-fed dairy herds and success with





alfalfa or clover. Where a farmer is





. known to be successful with either of

the increasing difficulty of getting

.01 land high in organic matter -



Most of the above factors can be

controlled by farme1s, as is proven by

the fact that there are still many farm- 7

ers who have little difficulty in grow-

ing good clover, while others in their

neighborhood are meeting with failure.' .



Lime Often Needed. "



The great majority of Michigan

soils need lime. This is particularly

true Where they have been farmed for

several generations. Where clovers,

fail or when alsike, only, comes in"

when a mixed seeding of red and al-

sike clover is made, or where sorrel

shows in large amounts, the conclusion ,‘

may be safely reached that an appli-

cation of two tons of finely ground

limestone or several cubic yards of

marl or beet sugai factory lime cake

will bring red clover back again.



In general, finely ground limestone

is one of the cheapest and most con-

venient forms to use, though the num-

ber of farmers who are taking advan-

tage of the great stores of marl which

nature has provided in many regions

throughout Michigan, are finding this

a very effective and quick-acting agent

in correcting soil acidity and in put-

ting the land in condition to grow clo-

ver and alfalfa.



The refuse lime of sugar beet fac-

tories is an Overlooked source of ex-

cellent lime. Professor A. J. Pattent

experiment station chemist, states

that the average sample of sugar beet

factory refuse lime contains from fifty

to eighty per cent of calcium and mag-

nesium carbonate in accordance with

the content of moisture present. This

lime is largely carbonate if it has been

exposed for a considerable time. but .



*hen stacked in large heaps the mate-



beneath the surface often contains

a high per cent of calcium hydrate.



In Europe, where the sugar beet in-

dustry is on a well established footing,

sugar beet growers are allowed refuse

lime in proportion to the tons of beets

delivered. It is seldom that growers

fail to avail themselves of this priv-

ilege. In fact, it is a matter of much

concern to them if they fail to get

their share. In Michigan very little

V PRAIRIE CHICKENS NEED PRO-

TECTION.





 





RAIRIE chickens have for some



"years been domiciled in the upper

peninsula, and The St. Ignace Enter-

prise thinks that some of them have

been killed by hunters who have mis-

taken them for partridge or spruce

hen. It is suggested that constant

‘hunting in the west has driven the

prairie chicken to the sheltered reg-

ions near the upper lakes. It is sug-

gested that the law protecting prairie

chickens in Michigan until 1925 ought

to be given a greater extension of

time to afford the birds a chance to

get thoroughly established here. There

are also reports that the Chinese ring-

necked pheasant is getting a start

here. This bird is being propagated

USING MICHIGAN-GROWN ALFAL-

.OR many years Michigan alfalfa

growers have been buying seed

W in other states, in Order to se-

cated by the fact that Olaf Nelson, of

Cheboygan county, working in coopera-

Michigan Agricultural College, has de-

veloped a strain of alfalfa that not only

withstands the long northern winters,

but is also a wonderfully productive

plant, producing a crop of hay and also

a crop of seed the season it is planted.

This year, from a six-acre tract sowed

last spring, Mr. Nelson secured nine

hundred pounds of seed. As this seed

is being sold at $10 per pound on ac-

count of its quality, it means the fat

income return of $9,000 from thatsix

The Railroad Situation





Statement of W H. Stack/Iowa, membero of (/1:

Farm Implement Manufacturer: Cammtttee

made at recent conference of thz: commits: \

cwit}: Agricultural Pad/irfierr. -





ing effective in 1916, the total rail-

way wage bill amounted to $1,-

468,576,39‘4. This amount, dile to the

subsequent effect of the Adamson Act,

which established an eight-hour basic

day and provided for overtime, in ad-

dition to the pernicious national agree-

ments executed by the director gen-

eral of railroads during government

operation, with the railroad brother-

hoods, which prescribed certain in~

equitable rules, whereby four or five

men were employed to perform the

work of one, the railroad bill in 1920

increased to $3,698,000,000‘, Constitut-

ing an increase of 151 per cent plus.

In view of this abnormal increase in

wages, it should be borne in mind that

railroad freight rates, during the same

period, were increased but 101 per cent

which, from a relative standpoint, was

exceedingly ~ conservative.

This conclusion is further emphasiz-

ed by the following facts:





First.—During the period in question

the railroads’ average receipts per ton

mile increased only forty—six per cent.





Second—According to figures re~





P RIOR to the Adamson Act becom-





cently published by the Railroad Labor ~





Board, other principal expenditures of

the railroads, during the seven-year pe-

riad, 1914 to 1920 inclusive,‘increased

in the following percentages: Fuel,

locomotive costs, 190 per cent; 'depre-

elation and repairs, 59 per-cent; sup-

plies and miscellaneous items, 132 per

cent; while taxes increased nearly 150

per cent.





And investment returns to the‘stock- I





holders, shrunk to less than $62,000,000

for 1920, or less than ten per cent ‘of

what they were during 1914.





It might be intereSting to note from

the statistics of the Interstate Com-

merce Commission, that based on the

total valuation of the railroad proper-

ties, of $19,000,000,000, railroad net

earnings for the past five years, which

were attained greatly by disregard of

maintenance, were as follows: 1916,

5.90 per cent; '1917, 5.25 per cent;

1918, 3.51 per cent; 1919, 2.46 per cent;

1920, .31 per cent.



The foregoing steady‘decline in re-

turns to stockholders, down to almost

nothing on the average, in addition to

the fact that many of the railroads op-

erated at a loss, is obviously due to

the fact that no coordination exists

between the Interstate Commerce Com-

mision, which fixes . railroad freight

rates, and the Railroad Labor Board,

which possesses supervisory jurisdic-

tion over railway wages. ,



Additional self-evident reasons as to

the necessity and justice of materially

reducing railway wages, are readily

apparent when one takes into consid-

eration the fact that during the pres-

ent year, all other industries have re.

duced wages on an average of about

twenty-five per cent, whereas railway

wages have been reduced but twelve

per cent. Moreover, while _ railway

wages increased 151 per cent during'

the. period first above mentioned, the

average cost of living, as ascertained

by the National Industrial Conference

Board of .New York, increased but

104.5 per cent, the high peak having





been reached during August, 1920.7





while at the present time, the average

cost of living, according to the same





authority just quoted, is sixty-four per



cent in excess of” 1913, although rall-

way wages are still considerably over;

100 per cent hlgher than duringthat t"

Hhe best laid plans of mice and

men often preve disappointing.

\, Such is the philosophy of the





Scottish hard, and such is a common





experience of mankind. Experiences

frequently do not meet our fondest an«

ticipations, and it may not be consid-

ered extraordinary if need of improve-





ment should be found in the new and.





multiplying forms of farmer clganiza-

tions. It may be in order, then, to call

attention to ways of improvement in

cooperative fruit marketing.



We have been 'numerously assured

that the way to make the most money

out of fruit is to put it up in a reliable

and dependable way, and it would al-

ways sell at top prices.





have actually realized more from‘their





fruit by selling independently than-





those who have patronized the ex—

changes. I have talked with a number





‘ of experienced fruit farmers regarding





this matter, and they all agree with

me that prices obtained by the ex-

changes for fruit graded according to

the rules established by the state and





national grading laws have not been,





equal to those received by growers for

the ordinary farmers’ pack. Buyeis

seem willing to pay independent grow-

ers as much 01 more for fruit packed

in a single g1 ade, or a flat price for the

two grades packed separately, than the

packing houses realize for the grades

as they sell them. The best grade does





.not sell for enough more than the





farmers receive to compensate for the

lower prices of the lower grade As an

instanCe of this, a common price for

Bartlett pears the past season was $3





_ per bushel, for the fruit put up in a





single grade by the farmers, and some

received more. Alfout the best prices

realized by any of the exchanges was

$3. 35 per bushel for the best grades

and a dollar less for the lower grade,

but less than half went into the better

sorts and the gross receipts were less

than the money received by the farm-

ers. One exchange sold the better

grades for $8.50 per bari’elaless than

$3 per bushel—and $1.65 for the lower

grade, so that the gross was much be-

.low the farmer prices, and the market-

ing expense of the exchange still

further reduced the amount. '



Now, this statement should by no

means go without qualification. Due

credit should be given the exchanges

.for what they have done.‘ As an in-

stance, during the year 1920, when

there was a large crop of all kinds of

fruit, perhaps seventy-five per cent of

it was marketed through the exchanges

and was distributed over large dis-

tricts in all directions, while if mar-

keting had been limited to near-by

markets and the few local buyers pres-

ent marketing costs would not have

been realized in general, and the loud-

est clamor for marketing organiza-

tions yet heard would have been rais-

ed. As it was, the independent grow-

ers were the gainers from the organi-

zations as well as those forming and





' patronizing those institutions, although





they didn’t seem‘to realize it.



This must not be construed as in any

sense a criticism of the present grad-

ing rules. Standardization is neces-





' « sary, and when a prospective buyer is





given quotations it is necessary that

he should know; what he is buying, and

that he should not be subject to any





disappointment in his purchase. This

7 ”is only poSsible through established

grading. But if buyers insist on strict-

ly fancy grades they must be induced

to pay a little more money for quality





-.-‘—or appearance—or else they shOuld

‘ led to see the reasonableness of buy-





 





But as a mat-'

ter of fact, many in the last two years "





T 56 Relation 0/ Grading Standard: to Consumer Regmremmtr ,





' , By- Edward Hutchins





ing rules are somewhat elastic and it

is'possible to put up an “orchard run”

grade, the same. as the farmers do.





Such a grade is, of course, rather var-





iable and indefinite, but if buyers are





not disposed to pay a price that will

make the extra grading profitable, why

make it for them?



In fact, the matter is open to ques-





tion if there is not more sentiment

than practical sense in the distinction

between the first and second grades

as established by law. The marks per-

missible in the second grades that dis-

qualify the fruit from the first are so

very slight as to be negligible, any-

way, none of them may go skinpdeep or

distort the fruit or injure its keeping





 





The 1 Little SchoOl

By David Clay





out in flower and leaf.

' be down in the program, it would not

be studying books; but there would be

no tuberculosis in it, and it would be





N a recent-issue of the Michigan



Farmer a correspondent skillfully



sets forth the desolation of the fatal

rural school. “The rural schoolhouse

gets cleaned once a year whether it

needs it or not.” “The dust of ages

settles on everything,‘that is, the dust

which does not find its way into the

pupils’ lungs.” Many pupils die from

tuberculosis.



If: a good family should chance to

secure the schoolhouse as a dwelling,

the whole family would fall to and

clean the house. It could be done and

would be done. Removing filth is not

a dainty task; but living in filth is in-

tolerable, not to be thought of. The

family would be better for its victory;

its quality would be more secure. The

neighbors would know; they always

know. The good w01k would cheer and

encourage them.



The new occupants would then in-

evitably give their dwelling something

of their own charm. One’s house al-

ways tells the truth. Shrubs, vines

and young trees need not cost money;

they grow in Michigan woods in rich

variety of beauty. The wild kinds suit

our climate and our landscape. The

faults of builders and former occu-

pants, proclaimed in the unsightliness

of the premises, ‘can be covered up by

the perfect work of nature. It would

be hard to find in Michigan any school-

house or school grounds that could not

be made beautiful without expenditure

of money. The rural schools that get

their pictures taken as horrible warn-

ings are not worse structurally than

some cottages that get their pictures

taken as beautiful.



It the teacher and pupils keep them-

selves and their surroundings neat and

cheering, there may not be time for all

of the standardized twenty-five or thir-

ty recitations every day. ~Somebody

may not pass an examination; the

teacher may lose her job. Examina-

tions yield credits, credits yield a di-

ploma, and a diploma is the goal. The

best Danish schoolshave gained by

abolishin all examinations, credits

and diplomas. With us, diplomas mat-

ter far more than education; and cer-

tainly the teacher may need her job.

At Worst, if all is lost, in despair the

teacher and her pupils may throw

away some more of those multitudi-

nous recitations and go some fine

spring day to see how the trees come





\





That would not





remembered when a day with the

books had been forgotten.



A little house may be clean, whole-

some and beautiful. Some good men

and women live in little houses; some

who do not, grew up in them. A big

house may be unsanitary, may and of-

ten does shelter weakness and vice.

Probably most of us hope to have big-

ger homes and bigger schoolhouses;

but that hope is no reason why we

may not now keep clean and plant

trees. If a little shoolhouse is the only

schoolhouse we now have, we can

make it wholly unserviceable as a

warning. Dirt is not irremovable; it

is not a part of the divine order, ines-

capable. A little schoolhouse may be

clean.



We live in the country. We can not

have everything the city has, we can

not bring the city to us. When we

think it all over, possibly we should

not be so content if we could. Like

big cities, big schools are still this

side of paradise; they have their prob-

lems. While we wait and work for the

big houses, there is no harm in doing

all we can for and in our little homes.





City papers now advertise little

schools; the smaller they are, the high-

er the tuition. If at the moment we

positively can not have the big school

that we want, we may at least do our

very best to help our little school to

be as good as a little school can be.

We might find that we like it, that it

may be another advantage of that hard

country life that makes us grumble but

cling. Our little school is near the

woods and fields, near the work and

life of farms and farm homes. The en-

vironment might be worse. Vanity of

”vanities, the neighbors themselves

might be worse; some of us will help

the teacher and the pupils to clean the

schoolhouse if she is willing that they

should lose any part of that high edu-

cation. The schoolhouse is not the

best that we can imagine; but, like the

farm, it is the best we have. If inevit-

ably the biggest school were the best

school, the country would be in hope-

less plight; but what counts is not

size but quality. A little school may

be in the race; a big school may be

out of it.

qualities. The fact that it is in a sec~ ‘

0nd grade seems to have a more de—

pressing effect on the price than its

quality Would seem to justify. The

writer has found in his experience that

an orchard run with ciders out .of apr

ples made a very satisfactory and ac-

ceptable grade among a very good‘

class of private customers. ‘





It seems about time that a protest is

put in against a certain kind of adver-

tising Michigan fruit has been getting.

A high officer in one of the newer mar-

keting associations is reported as say-'

ing recently, “so much fruit in the paSt

has been allowed to go to market ‘of art .

inferior grade as to break down the

good reputation which it otherwise

might have established had the same ’

marketing principles been used as

those so rigidly enforced in western

states.” Haven’t we had about enough“

such advertising from such a source? '

Just how much Michigan fruit is now

put upon the market in a commercial

way of this “inferior grade” and how

much of it should be excluded in order

to establish its reputation? And “

haven’t our grading laws and system

of rigid inspection now been in force

long enough to begin to be effective?





On the contrary, it is quite time for

our marketing officials to begin to ad-

vertise the fact that practically no

fruit of an, unmerchantable grade is

now placed upon the market in a com-

mercial way. Every fruit grower of _

consequence in the commercial fruit.

giowing dist1icts has a good power ,

sp1ay 1ig and fully understands the ‘

sp1aying schedules and formulas, and

sp1aying in these dist1icts is universal

and fairly thorough. Practically no un-.

sprayed fruit is grown in these sec-

tions. And if anyone is suspected of

putting stuff on the market that is un- '»

reliable as to grading the inspector is

soon appraised of the fact and is look-

ing after it. All the fruit below mar-

ketable grades is used by canning fac-

tories and Cider mills, and this consti~

tutes a better quality than will be

found in the grocery stores and, in.

deed, upon the tables of the restau-

rants and hotels of Michigan.

spring to do this. If you sow it on

top of the ground now much of it is

liable to wash away with heavy rains

and snows before it becomes mixed»

with the soil. The ground is apt to be

saturated with water so that when a

rain came after sowing much of the

water would run off instead of soaking

into the ground. Just as early in the

spring as you can get on this land I

would sow the fertilizer broadcast and

give the field a slight harrowing with

this should be fed to a cow. Ofcourse,

very much depends upon the'nature of

the other foods in the ration. If you

were feeding wheat bran or linseed

meal, you would not need nearly as





-much bean meal as you would if you





were feeding corn meal or corn and

cat chop because the latter is not near-

ly as rich in protein as, the former and

so I could not tell you how much to





feed unless I knew what other foods





you intended feeding with it. In a gen-





eral way, however, it is not wise to .

because it gives you a very hard fat..

Dean Russell to Speak in Michigan





THE first of a series of messages to be delivered to the people

of the state by leaders in rural affairs has been announced by

H. ‘H. Halladay, Commissioner, Department of Agriculture.

The first series of meetings will be held during the week begin-

Dean H. L. Russell, of the Wisconsin Agricultural College, will





give his address in each of the following cities:





Flint, January





23; Bay City, January 24; Battle Creek, January 25; Kalamazoo,





January 26; Grand Rapids, January 27, and Lansing, January '28.





Mrs. Dora Stockman, member of the State Board of Agricul-

ture, and Michigan leader in rural affairs, will also address these





meetings during the wek.





Mr. J. A. Doelle, Director of the Bureau of Agricultural Devel-

opment, under whose direction these meetings are being arranged,

believes that the contact of the farmers and city folk with great

_.agricultural leaders will aid in a mutual understanding of the ser-.

ious agricultural problems of the day. Especial attention will" be

given to the understanding of our‘economic problems. A .



All the agricultural interests of the state, and the various civic

bodies will be asked to cooperate in making these meetings a big





success.





The Department of Agriculture wishes these meetings to be con-

strued as sectional meetings in which all the farmers of the com-

munities in the vicinity of these cities will attend.



Dean Russell has announced his address as “Come, Let us Coun-

sel Together.” Anyone who is at all familiar with the development

of the agriculture of Wisconsin and the healthy attitude of the ur-

ban population to their country neighbors, knows that Dean Rus-

sell has been responsible to a large degree for this fortunate con-





dition





The title of Mrs. Stockman’s address is “Home-grown Prosperity.”





 





 





operate. The possibilities of an instal-

lation will depend upon the number of

gallons'of water per minute which the

spring will supply and the fall in feet

which it is possible to obtain from the

supply to the ram. The size of ram

necessary in this case I have estimated

as a No. 5, which requires from six to

twelve gallons of water per minute to

operate, and a drive pipe fifty feet in

length with a fall of seven feet from

the supply to the ram. This ram should

deliver from thirty to sixty gallons of

water per hour. 'The cost of the in-

stallation will be comparatively high

and unless it is diflicult to get a satis-

factory well the installation of a. ram

would seem to be inadvisable.





The estimated out for the irnstalla- .,

COTTONSEED MEAL FOR 875338.





 





We have twenty steers of good qual-

ity Shorthorns and Herefords. We be-





gan feeding them on November 1 at;

which date they averaged 867 pounds.





We would like to know how near to a.

balanced ration we are feeding them.

We are feeding 200 pounds of corn sil-

age at a feed twice.a day, morning and





evening; after the silage werfeed them,





all the shock corn that they will clean

'up twice a day, and at noon all the

mixed hay they will eat.~ We are fig-





uring on feeding them until about the ‘

first of February... Would you advise '

feeding them cottonseed, and for how





long?——U. G. B. .



My opinibn would be that you ought

to add cottonseed meal at once as

your 'ration is, too deficient in protein

to get' good results. For steers’that

you are going to dispose of in Febru-

ary you need not'hesitate to feed them

all of the oil meal that ”they will eat

up clean. I would begin at once feed-.

ing about one pound a day and grad-

ually increase untilyou get them eat-

ing four or five pounds of cottonseed

meal per steer a day. You will have

to be governed somewhat by the way

they eat this ration. Of course, never

o'verfeed. If you find they cannot take

care of it all, you will have to act ac-

cordingly but I think you will find that

they will eat as high as five pounds of

cottonseed meal per day and this will





be none too much to get you the best f





results in weight and the most econom-

ical ration to get it. I would recom-

mend that you scatter this cottonseed

meal on the corn silage, feeding it

twice a day.





 





SWEET CLOVER AND TIMOTHV.





 





I have sixteen acres in rye, which I

intend to sow to sweet clover this

spring, about four quarts of clever and

three quarts of timothy to the acre. I

think I will try sweet clover, the white

blossom variety. My land is a sandy

loam, some is level and the rest is

qmte hilly and in fairly good condi-

tion, I think, as I have had clover

growing there before, althoughl have

lost the last two stands of cloverseed

through winter-killing and dry weath-

er. The seed I am going to get is to

be double scarified. Now, would I

ham to inoculate this seed or would it

be all right to sow it that Way? If I

would have to inoculate, which would

be better and cheaper, buy the im-

lating bacteria in the liquid form or

use ground from a small sweet clover

field which I have, where it grows

quite rank? How would you spread the

ground and how much to the zero? I

intend to sow the clever seed on top

of the ground and drag it in with a.

weeder.—T.- S. ' >



I do not believe‘you will be satisfied

with your combination of sweet clover

and timothy. The sweet clover will be

ready to cut for hay before the timo-

thy is ready, and as the second growth

of the clover is usually left for seed,

you will get no benefit from the tim-

othy at all. Of course, the timothy will

increase the amount of sod to plow un-

der,_and, in case the sweet clover fails

to make a stand, the timothy might

come in and give you some hay.- The

sweet cloverseed ought to be inoculat-

ed. It is much easier to treat the seed

with -pure culture of bacteria than to

scatter several

acre of inoculated soil over .a large

field. Pure cultures of sweet clover.

bacteria can be purchased from the»

'R'adverted' to a proposition of





j sity of Michigan’s Department of

‘Geography, relating to winter-time

‘work for farmers, particularly in the



northern section of the state. The idea

is, that some of these (antlers might



, ‘be able and glad to produce home-



~ 'made articles that would be market-



able and would help the family income

" at a time‘when farm work is not very



pressing and revenue from it is quite

- lacking.



Mr. L. M. Geismar, agricultural

agent of Houghton county, does not

take kindly to the suggestion. He has

not found that such home-made arti-

cles as have been preduced by the Finc



-- nish farmers of Houghton county have



,V ' been marketable, in the main, and\he



i _‘ thinks that it is more worth while to



’ ' help the farmers to get a good living





 





inter Work for Farmers

ByL. A C/zare





Pref. C' 0. Bauer, of the UniVer-.





boyhood in Finland, says Mr. Jasberg,

the farmer needed only to buy iron,

salt, dyes, matches, nails, buttons, med-,'

icines, and some coffee and sugar. Ev-'

en tobacco was a home product, and,

for that matter, I have seen it growing

in the upper peninsula.



Home industry is still common in

Finland, home-needs, especially. fo1

woodenware and furniture, in some

communities still being largely sup-

plied at home. Parts of clothing are

still home-made. He says it is not un-

usual to find that one of the men of a

family prepares the footwear for the

entire family, even the community,

from home-tanned leather. Mr. Jas-

berg also finds that home-made goods

have a market in old Finland, partic-

ularly such things as the wagon, the

rug, and the knife. Among such in-

dustries for women, he mentions spin-

ning (the oldest and most extensive);





 





 





’ .



l. - off' the land itself. He takes dairying



J ' as an illustration of what the north

country can effect.



On the basis of "the recent census





t ) ' ' returns, Mr. ‘Geismar computes that

‘ . -‘ there are 184,130 farmers in the-lower

" ,' peninsula, and their cleared land





amounts to 12,460,075 acres, or an av-

, , erage of 67.67 acres per farm. In the

, l, , upper peninsula he finds there are 12,-

‘ ' 317 farmers, and their cleared land



amounts to 465,446 acres, or an aver-



age‘of 37.78 acres ‘per farm. The low-



er peninsula farmer has about eighty



per cent more cleared'land‘than the



upper peninsula farmer, and showed



. , he is able to carry on dairying on an

' eighty per cent larger scale, Then,

turning to the number of cows used in

t. dairying, he finds that there are 750,-

‘ 987 head in the lower peninsula; and

l ' in the upper peninsula, there are 51,108





M





dairy cows. He computes that the

~ ' number of dairy cows per farm on

< which live stock is kept is 4.29 head

1 ' in the lower peninsula, and in the up-

per peninsula the average number of

.f head is 4.51, So he figures ‘that with

, eighty per cent less cleared land the

upper peninsula farmer keeps five per

cent more dairycows. Dairying, then,

and not household industries, presents

- the greatest opportunities for northern

3 farmers, he concludes.





On the other hand, Mr. J. H. Jas-

' ( berg, of Hancock, a prominent Finnish

resident of the copper country, a man



who i know to be sane and solid in his



thinking, after considering the subject



2 ; with some care, believes that there is

something in the home industry prop-



. ’ ositiOn. He points out that for years

. 4- northern Michigan farmers have prac-

'1” ticed’home industries to some extent



_ 7 without outside encouragement‘or di-



% t , . rection. He notes that there are many

-, -' f . families in the upper peninsula, con-

' sisting of from four to nine children



4 ‘ where the mother makes all the stock-

' '~ ings and mittens from home-grown

ing were formerly made at home. The

men, he says, have been accustomed

to make many ,small tools at home,

the werk being done in the early morn-

ing and evening when it is too dark_

to work out of doors.



' In this the Finnish farmer is follow-

ing a. custom common in the old’ coun!

try, as Mr. Jasberg remembers it from

forty years ago when'he lived in Fin-

land. In old Finland, he says, the

“farmer made all his clothing, work



.. " furniture, and nearly all the





 

 

 

 

 





 





 

 

 





wool, while many other pieces of cloth-'





the knitting of stockings still general

in western Finland; weaving, import—

ant at certain places in the country;

lace-making along the coast at’Orim-

attila, and'cloth buttons.





Work done by men include the man;





ufacture of spoons and ladles made

from wood in northern Finland; wood-

en dishes in northern Finland; has-

kets, made throughout the country;

articles made from birchbark, (slip-

pers and shoes, baskets and knap-

sacks); baskets made of tree-roots in

central and central northern Finland;

willow baskets and furniture made by

the blind throughout Finland; brush-

es, essential furniture, row-boats and

sail-boats (differing in models in var-

ious parts of the country). The skii

industry is described as extensive and

profitable. Collar-trees, or bows as

part of harnes are similarly produced,

as also hames. Other home industries

include the manufacture of vehicles,

farm implements, knives, castings, tin-

smithing, leather-goods, felt slippers

and shoes, cornigerous articles, toys,

earthenware, and stone articles.



These home industries are now or-

ganized in Finland, and are assisted

by schools which give instruction in

them. There is governmental inspec-

tion forhthese schools. Home-made

goods are sold in the open market and

by individual producers. Home indus-

try associations maintain their own

stores in the cities for the disposal of

these goods. ,





While Mr. Jasberg does not regard

the American "Finn as advanced in

home industries as his congcnors in

old Finland, he can learn. Mr. Jas-

berg finds that the northern Finnish

farmer does not waste much time in

winter, except in the long evenings,

when he could very well devote him-

self to some profitable line of home

manufacture. Both men and women

are capable but their efforts have been

undirected and unsystem’atized, he

says.





There are-many Finnish farmers in

northern Michigan and they are tena-

cious of old world customs. They have,

as Mr. Jasberg points out, a natural

aptitude for home manufactures de—

rived from their life in old Finland.

He‘ thinks that this aptitude, if not

cultivated, will be lost in a very few

generations, and he warmly espouses

the efiort that the Upper Peninsula

Development Bureau is making to im-





“prove the condition of northern farm-

”I in think direction.

twothirds the usual supply of Michi-

gan-grown seed is available. this year.



Top-dressing fields with manure, ev-

en though the dressing is very light,

will greatly help the clover stand. It -

is also a matter of note that where

small grains are treated with acid

phosphate or complete commercial fer-

tilizer the clover seeding is substan-

tially benefited. Early seedings on firm

seed beds give best results.



Under the present conditions it is

mighty good business to increase the

acreage of clover, alfalfa and other

legumes. Clover and alfalfa hay are

bringing relatively much more money

than general crops, but it is not for

sale primarily that the crops should

be increased, but in order to provide

an ample supply of cheap protein hay

for the feeding on the farm of dairy

cows and live stock so that the cost

of production of milk and meat can be

lessened in order to meet present pric-

es and leave a greater margin of profit.



From the standpoint of future crop

and live stock production, more clover,

more alfalfa and legumes in general

will lay a foundation for dependable

farming. The prosperity of ..Michigan

farms in the immediate future depends

very largely on the success met with

in establishing good stands of these

crops.



Big clover crops means bigger crops

at less cost, of corn, sugar beets, beans,

potatoes and grain. .“Succeed with

clever or alfalfa and you will succeed

with all.”





 





1921 WOOL NEARLY ALL SOLD.





 





S ALE of 483, 000 pounds of wool from ‘



the State Farm Bureau’s 1921 pool

recently has brought the farm bureau

pool to the point where the end is in

sight. Since September 1, the farm

about 2, 200, 000 pounds of wool out of a."

pool the farm bureau had to contend

the wool department moved most of

DAIRYMEN TO MEET.





AGINAW will be" the. dairy center



of Michigan on February 14-17;

when the Michigan Allied Dairy Asso-

ciation holds its third ‘annual conven-

tion and dairy show there, says H. D.

\Vendt, general secretary of the asso-

ciation, in announcing that plans are

rapidly rounding into shape for the

coming convention. Mr. VVendt says

that the marked drop in practically all

farm products except those from the

dairy has resulted in a noticeable stim

ulus for the dai1y indust1y in Mich-

igan.



The dai1y association is trying to

get such noted speakers as Secretary

Hoover, of the department of com-

merce; J. R. Howard, president of the

American Farm Bureau Federation,

and Professor David Friday, president-

elect of the Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege for its convention program. An

extensive exhibit of all types of dairy

equipment is assured. Educational

exhibits by the state and the United

States Departments of Agriculture will

feature the importance of greater

economy in production and a higher

and more uniform quality of dairy

products.





CLOVERSEED IS SCARCE.





CCORDI-NG to the Bureau of Mar-



kets the United States has a visi-

ble supply of about 62,000,000 pounds

of cloverseed this year in the face of

an annual consumption of some 120.-

000.000 pounds. Good adapted seed is

the one assurance that a farmer has.

Good seed of known origin and adap-

tion is the starting point for a success-

ful year.





 





 





the foresighted farmer who is able'to

make seed purchases now at a time

when he can choose what he wants.

and the man who waits, the farm bu-

reau says:



To. the farmers who buy their seed



now and assure themselves of the best

——seed that is adapted. weed-free and

will grow, price is the small considera-

tion. If a man buys clover seed now,

planning 'to seed ten pounds to the

acre and the price of seed goes up $3

a bushel, he gains fifty cents an acre;

if it drops $3 .he loses fifty cents an

acrev—a small sum: but he has real

seed in his granary. That is the im:

portant item.

If a man waits and gets the tail-end

seed offerings, often imported 01‘ south-

ern-grown seed. weed-infested and un-

adapted, he is in for trouble. If he

pays $10 to $15 a bushel for such stuff

and sows it ten pounds to the acre, he

lets himself in for a possible loss of

$2.50 per acre on seed, not to mention

the loss of the expected crop and his

time and labor.





 





STATE GRANGE NOTES.





HE State Grange passed a resolu-

tion unanimously endorsing the

Michigan Farmers’ Automobile Tours.

which were originated and conducted

by» Brother J. H. Brown, of Battle

Creek. The plan of touring and camp-

ing as a sort of traveling 'Ch-atauqua

was sponsored by the Michigan Farm-

er the first year Mr. Brown tried out

his plan with a tour up the east and

west pikes of the state to Mackinac

and the See. The State Grunge voted

to invite the tour manager to conduct

future tours “Under the Auspicescf

Michigan State Grange.” Mr. Brown

was pleased with such a fine endorse-





-ment and both the 1922 tours to Niag-





ara ‘If‘ells and .up _the‘ west plke‘ ‘to





 





 





Comparing the financial fortunes of,





parts _

there in excellent condition, the fruit , .

; still being frz'en. ——R. '





Mackinac next August will be Grange

tours, the same as last year.



The resolution asking abolishment

of the state constabulary was defeated.

The county commission form of gov-

ernment was not favored. A state

trade commission similar to the na-

tional trade commission was favored.

.Proflteering should be made a penal

offense. Ways and means of further

ing cooperative buying and collective

bargaining was favored in a resolution.

A commodity law was asked which

will enforce the truthful labeling of all

articles of food, clothing and similar

every—day needs.



Considerable time one afternoon

was devoted to the’ proposal that the

national government furnish some sys-

tem of storage for food products rais-

ed by the. farmer, and that food be

held there for orderly marketing, thus

bringing relief from food gamblers and

speculators. The securities of. the

farmers who had food in storage would

be used to borrow on. It was claimed

this would furnish a better system of

crop handling, would relieve the farm-

er of his crop and make more farm

owners. A resolution to amend the





constitution of the United States pro-

hibiting tax-exempt securities was

passed. The “Lakes to the St. Law-





rence waterway plan was endorsed.





The sentiment during the conven~

tion was that the Grange in Michigan

today was stronger than ever before

in its history. A big campaign will be

made next summer somewhat along

the regional plan of last summer.





The enemies of the income tax, if

defeated at, the polls next fall, will try

to nullify the law by returning to the

vicinities in which the tax originates

21 major part of the income for local

purposes. That. would mean that nine-

ty per cent of the tax would go to the

city of Detroit. In \Visconsin the ma-

jor part 01' the income tax collected is

returned to the city of Milwaukee, and

the state derives but little benefit from

the law. In New York state one-half

the tax collected goes to the state.



Mr. Bramble charged that the re-

serve board favored some interests,

'and that one bank in Chicago had

loaned to speculators at four and one-

half per cent interest, while charging

agriculture seven per cent. The only

remedy that. he could propose was that





the farm organizations of the country :





demand that at least threelrepresenta-

tives from their ranks be chosen'to sit





.on the board, and then if they were





unable to prevent, alleged discrimina-

tion. to take their complaint to the

people.

iness, the Grand Traverse Packing

Company, of Traverse City, is contem-

plating enlarging its warehouse and

increasing its operations next season.

The stockholders at the recent annual

meeting voted'to increase its capital

stock from $100,000 to $200,000. The

directors believed the prospective bus-

iness warranted the increased Capital.



The company, organized by fruit

growers-about a yéar ago, paid the

farmers ten cents a pound for their

cherries this year. Nine cents a pound

was paid at the time of delive1y and

the extra cent a pound was declared





‘at the close of the season.

GROWS HIS OWN ALFALFA SEED.





VER in St. Clair county near Ca-

pac lives Mr. A. Petz. He has been





growing alfalfa for a decade or more,





and during the past three years he has

been harvesting seed fromhis alfalfa

fields. This year his crop amounted

to fifty-five bushels. This we believe

to be the largest supply of this seed

grown by any farmer in Michigan this





. year.





One of the fine things about this

home-grown seed is that it will all be

used in the vicinity where grown. The

farmer neighbors are anxiously seek-

ing to secure a supply sufficient for

their needs. The yield will be ample

to sow over three hundred acres. We

shall be pleased to hear from others”

who have had recent experiences with

the production of this seed on Michi-

gan land. ,





 





LEARNS A LESSON.





AM just writing to tell Michigan



Farmer readers of an observation

on hay production. Ten farmers in

this county kept books on their 1921

hay crop. The average cost per ton

was $10.68 and the average yield was

one and seven-tenths tons per acre.

The hay was sold for from $12 to $16

per ton. The men who grew a ton

and a half or more per a’cre made a

little money, but those who grew less

than this amount did not realize profit

from their venture. I must follow the

men who grew good crops. This means

better farming. I can see plainly that

through increased fertility the cost of

production is lowered as has been clear-

ly shown to me by the returns from

these ten farms—O. U.





FARMING PEAT SOILS.





WAY from large cities the man?





agement of peat soils is somewhat

difficult. The question of transporta-

tion and labor makes it necessary to

eliminate the heavy truck crops. Re-

course must be made to other rota-

tions. One that is commonly iised by

successful men is to sow the peat

ground to some small grain the first

year, this to be followed by a crop of

hay, and then by a crop of corn.



One is more certain to secure a Catch

of clover by using a nurse crbp. Small

grains have served best in this capa-

city. Rye is now being held as one of

the best of these nurse crops for peat

land. It ripens early and is less apt

to lodge. Oats and barley are good,

but the straw of these crops when

grown on low, wet soil is weak and

easily breaks down. The usual mix-

ture of seeds to follow the small grain

is a combination of red-top, timothy

and alsike clover. In handling these

soils it is, of course, important to look

after the tile drainage.

[Francisco Farm N ctcs ‘

By P. P. Pope





 





 





S stated at the close of our last

week’s letter, we will here at-

tempt to tell of our system of

bookless book-keeping. It is not ex-

actly bookless either, for itt’requires

a check book. We have had occasion

to investigate and try out numerous

cut-and-dried farm accounting systems,

with varying degrees of satisfaction or

disgust. Keeping farm accounts is one

of the things in which theory and prac-

tice often fail to coordinate. Many

students of accounting have worked

out various forms

of farm account

books, simple and

complicated, good





ing, free and oth-

erwise. I presume

. t h e re are few

farms that are not

in possession of

one or more of

these ready to

wear affairs, and

I would venture the assertion that sev-

enty-five percent of them are out of

commission. This is not entirely the

fault of the books, but the very nature

of the farmer’s work—and I am speak-

ing of the farmer who works with his

hands—makes it very difficult for him

to long continue the practice that these

books require.



We have tried making an immediate

record of all transactions on one of

these neat little books. The result

was, it caused lots of running, the use

of many and various writing imple-

ments, and a well-thumbed page. The

only way we could keep that book neat

was to not put anything in it until a.

more convenient season. So we tried

that and forgot more or less of it. We

tried a cheap pencil day-book for mak-

ing a temporary memorandum of all

'trapsactions. This worked better and

we kept it up for several years, trans-

ferring the items to the permanent ac-





 





, countat our convenience.





In the. meantime, we were doing

more and more of our buying by check,

and handling less cash. It gradually

dawned upon us .that if we would do

all our buying that way, and would

write on the check stub what the mon-

ey. was spent for, we could do away

with the day-book except for the re-

ceipts. Of course, we could not make

our expenditures by check without also

depositing the receipts. We tried to

ShOW our banker how he could save us

some book-keeping by issuing a pass-

book with more space for writing in

the source of the deposit. But the pass-

book was usually at home in another

pocket. Several years ago we read

an article in the Ohio Faimer by H.

P. Miller, and immediately adopted his

plan of recording receipts. and it works

to perfection. It is simply this. De-

posit all moneys received and take a

duplicate deposit slip. Do not present

pass-book when making deposits. Be-

fore leaving the bank write down on

the duplicate 'slip what the funds were

received for. Then don’t lose the slip.

I reserve a certain section of my pock-

etbook for these slips and when it gets

too full. slip them together with paper

clips and file them with stub books and

vouchers, each year’s supply being fil-

ed together. We use a check book that

folds and has a stub as large (as the

check blank, giving ample room for

recording the transaction. Thus you





. see that we. have a correct record of





all cash transactions without any spe-

cial effort or any special equipment,

and with these records the summing

~up can be done at any‘ desired time.

We usually find little occasion for it





 





 





and good for noth- .





and! the and. of the yaw» immune do the busy farm





spend the better part of three or four

days on the year’s records. So far we

have gone into detail to a consider-

able extent in order to show that our

system is founded upon convenience

and is a gradual outgrowth of experi~

once. It isnot perfect, of course. but

for the busy farmer it is practical and

it works. We might add that our bus-

iness is practically all done on the

basis of cash or its equivalent. Any

credit business we may have, either

going or coming, is, in so far as pos-

sible, handled through the bank.



The first step in the annual sum-

mary of affairs is the taking of the an-

nual inventory, described in last

week’s letter.

year has a gain 01' a loss to Show and

how much. Next we want to know the

gross receipts and expenditures. We

get the gross receipts easily from the

deposit slips, plus or minus any gain

or loss in the inventory compared with

the previous year. Each month our

bank returns a balance sheet with the

cashed checks or vouchers. These we

go over and check off both on the

check stub and on the balance sheet.

to see that no errors have been made

or checks raised 01- forged. Expendi—

tures may then be accurately determ-

ined from either stubs or balance

sheet. Now the question comes up,

where did the money come from and

Where did it go to? So we proceed to

find out. We take a sheet of ordinary





letter head and rule it vertically, mak?





ing six or seven columns. Then we

read our deposit slips, beginning at the

first or the year. The first says, “loan

from bank,” (good way to start the

new year), so we write “loans” at the

top of the first column and the amount

underneath, subsequently all receipts

from loans are written in this column.

The next indicates that the receipt

was for hogs sold, so we write the

amount down in the second column

and head the column “hogs” or ”live

stock.” The next. says “beans” so the

third column is headed “produce.”

There may be several receipts from

minor sources so we have a “miscel-

laneous” column to take care of these.

Another headed “personal” takes in re-

ceipts independent of the farm. This

may be continued until we secure

whatever information is desired in re-

gard to the source 01:. income. Another

sheet is ruled in the same manner and

with all check stubs for the year in

hand is made to answer our queries

in regard to the expenditures.





From here on there are numerous

questions that come up for solution.

They may vary greatly on different

farms, but given the above informa-

tion, a little mathematics will usually

reveal the unknown quantity. I hear

the objection raised, that depositing

and checking every item of receipts

and expenditures would be very trou‘

blesome and it surely would be. We

all like to feel some good coin of the

realm in our jeans, so instead of writ-

ing a check every time we want a new

necktie or a little gas for “lizzie,” we

keep the pocket replenished by writing

checks to “cash,” and charging them

in the summary to the personal ac—

count. -Of course, we buy little things

for the business at times and pay cash

out of this money that will be charged

to personal account. But we also re-





ceive funds in small amounts from_





time to time that we do not deposit.

Past records have taught us that, tak-

ing one year with another, these items

will approximately balance each other.

We do not claim everything for this

system, nor absolute accuracy in all

things, but it is practical and W0

GOVERNM ENT VViHlTEWASH.





 





ERE is the famous recipe for gov- ,





" ernment whiteWash. This white-

wash is whiter than most such mix-

' tures. It spreads so evenly that a pint

"covers nearly a square yard, and it

lasts well when used on outside jobs.

This is the standard recipe: Slake

one-half bushel of fresh lime with boil-

ing water, covering the receptacle to

keep in the steam. Strain the liquid

through a fine sieve, and add seven

pounds of fine salt, previously dissolv-

ed in warm water; three pounds of

ground rice, boiled to a thin paste and

stirred in; one pound of white glue,

soaked first in cold water until swol-

len, then carefully melted over fire.

I To this mixture add five gallons of

hot water and let it stand covered for

a few days before using.





 





FERTILIZER FOR MUCK.





 





I am a farmer on muck. I raised on-

ions, celery and peppermint. How

much potash would you advise to the

acre of peppermint, and the other

crops named? My land is in .good

shape, is kept with manure and com-

mercial fertilizer, cheap grade mostly.

What kind of spray would you advise

me for blight on celery? Please let

me know, as I want to spray my plants

before transplanting—J. V. V.





The question can not be adequately

answered without knowing the treat-

.ment which the muck received last

year. Recommendations would also

be limited by the type of muck, depth,

etc. ‘ ‘



Assuming that the muck in question

is of high quality, well decomposed, at

least three feet deep, that it has been

into meadow or‘pasture, or has grown

a cultivated crop, and. that fertilizer

has been applied within four years.



For peppermint 150 pounds of muri-

ate of potash and about 100 pounds of

acid phosphate to the acre would be

required for a good yield of oil. For

onions apply (:00 pounds of muriate of

potash and 700 pounds of acid phos-

phate. For celery, planted with rows

two and one-half feet apart, the same

application should be made. If manure

had been applied within the last two

years, the application of potash can

be cut to one-third of the amounts giv-

,en for onions and celery. This fact

has not been determined for mint. Ob-

servations and experimentation carried

out by the soils department of M. A.

C. on muck soils last year, indicate

that applications of barnyard or stock-

yard manure have a residual effect In t

generally recognized, which makes it

unnecessary to apply potash for celery

within two years after an application

of fifteen tons of manure to the acre.





' In a cool‘spring I would not hesitate .





to supplement the potash and phos-

phoric acid with nitrogen. Nitrate cf

, soda, applied between the rows for on-

ions and celery already planted at the

rate of 100 pOunds to the acre, would

pay. , ‘ ‘ I .

for 1922





CST of the readers of this paper

know that we have reduced our

prices on farm machines for 1922.

The lower figures apply on practically our

entire line of grain, hay, and corn harvest-

ing machines, plows, tillage implements,

seeding machines, etc. ‘

Reductions in prices of farm machines

and other articles the farmer buys is one

of the many indications pointing to con—

tinued improvement in the farmer’s situa-

tion. The War Finance Corporation is

steadily pouring aid from its billion dollar

fund, into agricultural communities to

finance the farmer. Freight rate reduc-

tions on stock, grain, hay, etc., now going

into effect, will save many millions for the

farmers. Land values are now on a sound-





er basis.

Why an OilPull Increases Farm Profits





Every farmer knows that there are just four factors he must have in the

tractor he buys to get cheapest power. These are (1) Low Fuel Expense.

(2) Low Repair Expense. (3) Long Life. (4) Reasonable Price.



In the Rumely OilPull Tractor these Four Factors have been combined for

the first time. An .OilPull, for example, has held (1) the World’s Ofiicial





Fuel Economy Records for 10 years past. (2) Government figures show a .





national average yearly upkeep cost of $40. Among many OilPulls of all

ages the average was found to be less than half the Government figures.

(3) The average life of an OilPull is more than 10 years. The first OilPull,

Old Number One, is still serviceable after 12 years. I (4) Rumely prices

are very reasonable. They are strictly in line with present economic con-

ditions. Everything needed to make cheap power is here.





Triple Heat Control

OilPull records are due largely to TRIPLE





HEATCONTROL—a wonderful oil burn- ‘





ing system which solves the problem of

maintaining motor temperatures. Triple

Heat Control absolutely gets the power out

of cheap kerosene. It is the only system in

which oil is used in the cooling system in-

stead of water. N o freezing. N o overheat-

ing. Under light loads temperatures are

correct for power and economy. As load

increases the motor actually grows cooler.





It is due to Triple Heat Control entirely

that the OilPull is the only tractor sold





with a bona fide written guarantee to burn

kerosene successfully at all loads and under

all conditiorm up to . its full rated brake

horse power.»

Among the four sizes is an OilPull that will

make a profit for you. Go see the local

strate the tractors and point out the

features.

Insect Pests Aw Fungus Diseases f





This will announce the opening of the

Dosch Chemical Company, with general office

and plant at Louisville, Kentucky, an organ~

ization devoted to the preparation and distri-

bution of fungicides and insecticides which the

research of Experiment Stations and the field

work of County Demonstration Agents have

shown to be scientifically correct and commer~

cially practicable. V





With the firm conviction that the dusting

method of insect and plant disease control





offers the brightest hope of profit to the fruit





and vegetable grower, the Dosch Chemical

Company will concentrate upon the produc—

tion of the finest dusts and the best dusting

machines.





' g This belief represents the combined experi-

ence 'of the plant pathologists, entomologists,

practical fruit men, and field workers whose

names are listed in this announcement.





Nevertheless, it is not the intention of the

Dosch Chemical Company to offer the dust

ing method of contrOI as a cure-all or a miracle

worker. This organizatiOn proposes to con-

duct its operations upon a plane that will win

the approbation of scientific research workers

in‘ this field, and the priceless confidence of the

grower.





There are some territories for which we

would consider desirable representation. We

would be glad to hear from dealers where we

have not already made connection.





Listed below are the products upon which‘

the manufacturing ability of the Dosch Chem:





ical Company will be centered in the endeavor





to produce a better quality of dusting mate— '





rial and dusting machinery than have ever





been made before.





PRODUCTS





Nicotine Contact Dust. Will control the var-

ious forms of aphis (plant lice), pear psylla,

leaf hopper and apple red bug.

. He had observed, during the day,

that Avery or Harriet had been at

I work in that room—one of them or

both—almost all day; and besides the

girl .he had met in the hall, there had

been at least one other stenographer.

Must work in the house go ,on so con-

tinuously that it was necessary for

some one to work at night, even when

Santoine lay ill and unable to make

other than the briefest and most im-

portant dispositions? And who was

working in that room now, Avery or

Harriet? He let himself think, idly,

about the girl—how strange her life

had been—that part of it at least

was spent, as he had gathered most of

her waking hours of recent years had

been spent, with her father. Strange,

almost, as his own life! And what a

wonderful girl it had made of her——

clever, sweet, lovable, with more than

a woman’s ordinary capacity for devo-

tion and self-sacrifice.



But, if she were the one working

there, was she the sort of girl she had

seemed to be? If her service to her

father was not only on his personal

side but if also she was intimate in his

business affairs, must she not there-

fore have shared the cruel code which

had terrorized Eaton for the last four

years and kept him an exile in Asia

and which, at any hour yet, threatened

to take his life? A grim set came to

Eaton’s lips; his mind went again to

his own affairs.





CHAPTER XIII.

The Man From the Train.





N the supposition that he was to

have less liberty, Eaton proved cor-

rect. Harriet Santoine, to whose

impulse had been due his first privi-

leges, showed toward him a more con-

strained attitude the following morn-

ing. She did not suggest hostility, as

Avery constantly did; nor, indeed, was

there any evidence of retrogression in

her attitude toward him; she seemed

merely to be maintaining the same po-

sition; and since this seemed difficult

if they were often together, she avoid-

ed him. Ea‘ton found his life in the

house after that first‘day more strictly

ordered into a routine which he was

obliged to keep. He understood that

Santoine, steadily improving but not

yet able to leave his bed, had taken up

his work again, propped up by pillows,

one of the nurses had been dismissed;

the other was only upon day duty. But

, Eaton did not see Santoine at all; and

though he learned that Miss Davis or

another stenographer, whose name

was West, came daily to the house, he

never was in a position again to en-

counter any outsider either coming or

. going. Besides the servants of the

house, he met Blatchford, with whom

Eaton usually . breakfas‘ted; he also

lunched with Blatchford, and Harriet

sometimes——s01netimes with Avery; he

dined with Blatchford and Avery or

with all three. '



At other times, except that he was

confined to' the house or to a small

space of the grounds'about it and was

kept under constant surveillance, he

was left largely to'his own devices;

and these at least suffibed to let him;

examine morning and night, the vase

in which he was to findthe signal that

was to be left for him; these permit-

ted examination of window-locks in

other rooms, if not” in Santoine's

study; these permittedithe examina-

tion of many other items also and let

him follow at least the outline of the

method of Santoine’s work. .



There was no longer room forEaton

to doubt that Harriet had the confi-

dence of her father to almost a com-

than ever evidenced her pride in him. ‘





“I have been intending to ask you,

Miss Santoine," Eaton said to her sud-

denly then, “if your belief inthe supe-

riority of business over war~—as we

were discussing it ten days ago—

hasn’t suffered a shock since then?”



“You mean because of—Father?"



“Yes, you can hardly go back far

enough in the history of war to find a

time when the soldier’s creed was not

against killing—or trying to kill—a

sleeping enemy ”



She, looked at him quickly and keen:

1y. “I can’t think of Father as being

any one’s enemy, though I know, of

course, no man can do big things with-

out making some people hate him. Ev-

en if what he does is wholly good, bad

people hate him for it.” She was silent

plete extent. Now that Santoine was

ill, she worked with him daily for

hours; and Eaton learned that she did

the same when he was well. ‘But Av-

ery worked with the blind man too;

he too was certainly in a confidential

capacity. Was it not probable «then

that Avery, and not Harriet, was en-

trusted with the secrets of dangerous

and ugly matters; or was it possible

that this girl, worshiping her? father

as she did, could know and be sure

that, because her father approved

these matters, they were-right? '



A hundred times a day, as Eaton

saw or spoke with the girl or. thought

of her presence near by, this yobSessed

him. A score of times duringtheir

casual talk upon meeting at meals or

elsewhere, he found himself turned to-

ward some question which would aid





him in determining what must be the .





fact; but each time he cheeked him—

self, until one morning—it was the

fifth after his arrival at santoine’s

house—Harriet was taking him for his

walk in the garden before the house. .



It was a bright, sunshiny morning

and warm—a true spring day. As they





paced back and forth in the sunshine;





——she bare-haired and be holding his

cap in his hand—he looked back at

the room in the wing where Santoine

still lay; then Eaton looked to the

daughter, clear-eyed, clear-skinned,

smiling and joyous with the day. She

had just told him, at his inquiry, that

her father was very much stronger

that morning, and her manner more

for a few steps. “I like your saying

what you did, Mr. Eaton."



llWhy?l,



“It implies your own creed would be

against such a thing. But aren’t we





rather mixing'thing’s~ up? There is noth— _





ing to show yet'that the attack on

Father sprang out of business rela-

tions; and even if it did, it would have

to be"regarded as an—an atrocity Out-

side the rules of business, just as in

war, atrocities occur which are outside

the rules of war. Wait!

you'are going to say; you are going to

say the atrocities are a part of war

even if they are outside its recognized

rules.” '



“Yes; I was going to say that”



_.“And thatatrocities due to business

are a part of business, even if they are

outside the rules. ”



“Yes; as business is at present con-

ducted. ”



“But the rules are a part of the

game, Mr. Eaton.”



“Do you belong among the apologists

for war, Miss Santoine?"



‘61?!’



“Yes; what you say is exactly what

the apologists for war say, isn’t it?

They say. that war, in spite of its open

savagery and inevitable atrocities, is

not a different sort of combat from the

combat between men‘ in‘time of' peace.

That is, the acts of war differ only in

appearance or in degree from the acts

of peace. Is that what you, believe,

Miss Santoine?"



“That men in times of peace per-





 





mmmmmme '





I know what .





   





form acts upon each other which differ

only in degree from the acts of war?”



“YeSt”



“Do You believe that, Mr. Eaton?”



He hesitated. "Doyou, want me to

answer that question from my own ev-

perience or from what I wOuld like to

believe life to be. 9”



“From your own experience,

course.” ,



“Then I must answer that I believe

the apologists to be right as to that

fact. ”



He saw her clear eyes darken. “But

you don't believe that argument itself,

do you, Mr. Eaton?” she appealed. “It

is only the old,\old argument, 'What-

ever is, is 1ight." You don’t excuse

those acts—those atrocities in time of

peace? Or was I mistaken in thinking

such things were against your creed?

Life is part ’ right, part wrong,

isn’t it?” '



“I am not in a good position to judge,

I’m afraid; for what I have Seen of it‘

has been all w1ong—both business and





of





.— ' . life "





He had tried to speak lightly; but a;

sudden bitte1ness, a sharp hardness in

his tone, seemed to assail her; it

struck through her and broright her

shoulders together in a shudder; but.

instead of alienating her, she turned"

with a deeper impulse of feeling'to-

ward him.



“You—~you do not want to tell more

—to tell how it has been wrong;’you

don’t want to tell that—” She. hesi-

tated, and then in an intimate way

which surprised and frightened him,

she added, “to me.”





After she had said it, she herself

was surprised, and frightened; she

looked away from him with faCe flush-

ed, and he did not dare answer, and

she did not speak again.





They. had come .to the end of the

gardens where he was accustomed to

turn and retract his stepstoWard the

house; but now she went on, and he

went on with her. They were upon

the wide pike which, ran northward,

following, but back from, the shore of

the lake. He saw that now, as a motor

passed them on the road, she recalled

that she was taking him pain: the pre-

viOusly appointed bounds! but in the

intimacy of the moment, she could not

bring herself to speak of’that. It was

Eaton who halted~ and asked, "Shall

we go on?”



“Wouldn’ t you like to. 9” ‘



They walked on slowly. “I wish you

could tell me more about yourself, Mr.

Eaton. ”



"I wish ,so too,” he said.



“Then why can you not?" She turn-

ed to him frankly; he gazediat'her a‘

moment and then looked’vaway and

shook his head. How bad she answer-

.Ordid she not know all of What was

known even under her father’s roof;

. and if she knew all, would she then

loathe or defend it? Another motor

sped near, halted and then Speeded on

_ again; Eaton, looking up, saw it was a

" runabout with Avery «alone in it; evi-

dently, seeing them in the road, Avery

had halted to protest, then thought

better of it and gone on. But other

motors passed now with people who

spoke to Harriet and who stopped to

inquire for her father and wish him

well. .'

“Your father does not seem to be

one of the great men without honor in

his own neighborhood, Eaton said to





her" after one ofvthese had halted and ‘





gone on.



“Every one who knows Father likes

and admires him!” she rejoiced. '



"‘I' don’t mean exactly that,” Eaton

went on. “They must trust him too,

in an extraordinary‘way. His associ-

ates ‘must place most complete confi-

dence in him when they leave to him

the adjustment of matters such as I

understand they do. There is no way,





as I comprehend it, that any of the'





powerful men who ask his advice could

hold him accountable if he were unfair

to them; yet men of the most opposite

types, the most inimical and hostile,

place their affairs in his hands. He

tells them what is just, and they abide

by his decision.”



Harriet shook her head. “No; it isn’t

quite that,” she said. ‘



“What, then?”



“You are correct in saying that men

of the most opposite sorts—and most

irreconciliable to each otherwcon-

stantly place, their fate in Father’s

hand; and when he tells them what

they must do, they abide by his decis-

ion. But he doesn’t decide for them

what is just.”



“I don’t understand.”



“Father cannot tell them which side

is just because,» if he did that, they

wouldn’t consider his decisiOn; and

they wouldn’t ask him to make any

more; he would lose all influence for

better relations. So he doesn’t tell

them what is just.” .



“What does he tell them, then?”



“He tells them what would be the

outcome if they fought, who would win

and who would lose and by how much.

And they believe him and abide by his

decision without fighting; for he

knows; and they know that he knows

and is absolutely honest."



Eaton was silent for a moment as

they walked. along.



“How can he come to his decision?”

he asked at last. "



“How?”





“I mean, much of the material we V





sented to him must be documentary.”

“Much of it is."





“You will pardon me,” Eaton pre‘f—

aced. “but of course I‘ am immensely

interested. How are these written out

for him—in Braille characters or other

letters for the blind?”



“No; that would not be practicable



» for all documents, and -so it is done

.with none of them.”





“Then some- one must read them to I





him.” -



“Of course.”



Eaton started to, speak—then re-

frained. _ ’



“What were you going to say?” she

questioned.



“That 7the person—or persons—who

reads the documents to him» must oc-

cupy an extremely delicate position."

HERE are many mothers in the

land who pack dainty and whole-

but there are also many busy and

‘ few careless mothers, who deem any

lunch satisfactory if it, satisfies the

child’s appetite, even though it is un-

wholesome and not at,all well bal-

Whichever may be the case, the

Without an appetizing hot dish or drink

for lunch during the long winter day.

Fortunate indeed, is the child who car-

Last year the teacher in our district

school noticed that the children did

not study well after the noon hour. A

little keen observation showed her the

reason. Their food was heavy and un-

balanced, and at best was nothing but

a cold lunch; of course, the result was

a sluggish brain, as might be expect-

ed. So our teacher began to make

plans. After she had them all complet—

ed, she laid them before the parents

who heartily approved. .

soup bowls and teaspoons to go round.

The dish towels were hand-hemmed by

the sewing class, as were the hot-pan

.' holders.



The next thing was to decide who

,was to do the cooking. It was a small

school and had but few older pupils.

The older boys were appointed to emp-

ty dish water, get in water and help

serve. There were two eighth-grade

girls and two seventh-grade girls. One

"girl from each grade was put on the



same committee. Committee No. 1,

under the strict supervision of the

teacher, cooked for one week, and com-

mittee No. 2 did the dishwashing. The

next week they changed about so that

each committee had a chance to show

its cullinary skill. The teacher helped

serve and taught the children how to

.do the cooking.



Close account was kept of every-

thing, and at the end of the month a

statement was sent to each parent.

The total expense for each'month was

divided by the number of pupils; thus

settling the expenditures to the satis-

faction of everyone. .



'It was not long before the teacher

began to notice a change for the bet-

ter, by the added zest and aptitude of

the Children to: their after- dinner

studies.



, The week’s menu for twenty chil-

dren was as follows:



Monday—Rice boiled in milk.



Tuesday—Bean soup.



Wednesday—Milk toast. ' »



Thursday—Cocoa.



Friday—Potato soup.

Rice Boiled in Milk.



Wash one quart of rice through sev-

eral waters or until water'is clear. At

ten o’clock put it on to boil in four

quarts of salted water. At 11:45 add

a quart of whole sweet milk and one-

half cup of fresh butter. This will need

occasional stirring but is well worth

the trouble involved.



' Bean Soup.



Put one quart of navy beans, with

one level teaspoon of soda, on toboil

at 8:45 o’clock. When they start to

boil, drain and add fresh water. Put

on to cook again. If a soup bone is ‘to

be used, it should be put in at once

and if not, two quarts of sweet milk

and one-half cup of fresh butter should

be added at 11:30. Salt to taste.



Milk Toast.



We found it handiest to let each pu-

pil bring its “quota” of

home, ready made. Four quarts of

whole milk should ‘be put on to heat

at 11:30 o’clock. When it boils, add

salt to taste and pour over the toast.

Leave closely covered until ready to

serve. This proved a favorite dish.



Cocoa.



At 11:30 o’clock put on three quarts

of whole milk and three quarts of wa-

ter to heat. Mix one teacup of cocoa

and one and one-half cups of sugar to

a paste with water. Stir the paste in

to the hot milk and water. Let come

to a boil and stir well before serving.



Potato Soup.



At 11:00 o’clock put two quarts of



peeled and diced potatoes on to cook





toast from





The Noon Lunch at School"





in four quarts of salted water. Let it





boil until 11:30' o'clock. Then add two .





quarts of whole milk and one-half cup

of fresh butter. ‘

CARING FOR THE FAMlLY“ MEAT

SUPPLY.





 





HIGHLY recommended method of



pickling hams and shoulders pre-

paratory to smoking includes the use

of molasses. To four quarts of fine

salt and two ounces of pulverized salt-

petre, add suflicient molasses to make

a pasty mixture. The hams and shoul-

ders having been in a dry, cool place

for three or four days after cutting up,

are to be covered all over with the

mixture, more, thickly on the flesh side,

and laid skin down for three or four

days.



In the meantime make a pickle of

the following proportions, the quanti-

ties here named being for one hundred

pounds of meat: Coarse salt, seven

pounds; saltpetre, two ounces; potash,

half an ounce; soft water, four-gal-

lons. Heat gradually, and as the scum

rises remove it. When scum ceases to

rise, allow the pickle to cool.~ When

the hams have remained the proper

time in the pasty mixture, cover the

bottom of a' clean, sweet barrel with

salt about half an inch deep, pack in

the meat as closely as possible, cover

it with the pickle, and place over it a

follower with weight to keep the meat

down.

Thc Need of the Hour‘





0 these simple minded folk who



I always did believe that Chris-



tianity—please note, I do not

say theology—was a sufficient guide

not only for individual daily living but

for matters of statesmanship, the sud-

den discovery by so many writers and

speakers that Christ had the right of it

is rather amusing.



Have you noticed how this past few

months it has become quite the fash-

ion to believe once more that God is

really the ruler of the Universe, and

that the only way for persons or na-

tions to p1 osper for long is to work in

ha1 mony with his laws? '



A lecture last week on “The Need

of the Hour” brought out that the

speaker thought the one vital' need of

the hour was to get back to the simple

teachings of Christ! Can you imagine

an audience before the war being in-

terested in anything like that? Yet

the roomful of women applauded as

heartily as they used to when someone

held forth on the teachings of Niet-

zsche. , .



Of course he was right. No judicial

think -





 





by men about Jesus, the son of Mary,

can deny that what he taught would

remake the world, if folks would only

practice it. The trouble is it calls for

so much unselfishness that few people,

even those who profess to do it, really

live according to Christ’s teachings.





And for that reason Christianity has-





fallen into disfavor. Christianity has

not failed, the folks whomight inter-

pret it have failed; its principles have





been too high for a gold-loving gener—’

‘ation. ’





When it came to a question of de-

ciding between profits and principles,

principles have gone by the board, and

the accusation applies to the farmer

who adds-a spoiled egg to the eleven

fresh ones and calls it a dozen, as

much as to the capitalist who 'shuts

down the mines to raise the price of

éoa‘l.‘ Neither act is square, the only

difference is in the sizamf the offense.



Christianity can sa’ye the world

when people really attempt to live it.-





It can do nothing so long as its adher- '

ents think it consists merely of quib-





bling about how long. it took to mak





 





 





 





 





 





 





main in the pickle for five weeks, larg-

er ones Will require six or eight weeks,

according to size. And they should be

allowed to dry well before smoking.





The meat should be. smoked. in a ,





small building' suitable for ”the pur-

pose. One which is as near air-tight





as possible is the‘best, as no more,





smoke should be wasted than is nec-

esary.



For smoking a small quantity of

meat a. large cask or barrel may be

used. To make this effective a small

pit should be dug, and a .flat stone

placed across it, upon which the edge

of the cask will rest. Half the pit is

beneath the barrel and half is outside.

The head and bottom may be remov-

ed, or a hole can be cut in the bottom





a little larger than the portion of the '





pit beneath the cask. The head or

cover is removed while the hams are

being hung upon the cross-sticks. The





cross-sticks rest upon two cross-bars Z

made to pass through holes bored ~in'

the sides of the cask. The head is than '





laid upon the cask and Covered with

moist sacks to confine the smoke. The





fire is put into the pit outside the cask , ,





and may be regulated by a piece of tin

which may be removed» when more

fuel is put on.



Pine and other strong woods should

not be used as it will taste in the

meat. Corncobs, hardwood chips or

fine brush may be used with safety and

they will make a good smudge—1W.

Much __of it could be corrected in the

“One great difficulty inmeeting the

requirements of this problem is the

attitude of parents in‘ waiting for the

child to outgrow the defect. A child

thus treated usually continues stam-

false habits of speech, which would

the defect corrected when it first

When first 'noticing any stumbling, .

one should gently check thechild with-

E of the biggest tasks imposed

. upon the schools is the develop-



ment of a taste for good reading in

a the child. The study of the best in





literature, including the Bible, is not,





only necessary to secure an education

but it also develops a high moral

sense. Whenever we study with a child

a masterpiece in literature. or a Bible

story and arouse in him a. desire to

hear the same story re-read, we have

stimulated in the child a desire for

reading of the best' kind.



President Elliot, of Harvard, once

said: “That schooling which results





in a taste for good reading, however“





' unsystematic the schooling may have

been, has achieved the main end of

elementary education.” Many people

live entirely without reading and they

are the most difficult of all classes to

get a cemprehensive view of the great

problems with which the masses are

confronted. .



The desire for reading is most pot-

ent in the child between the age of

seven and seventeen and it is then

that the guidance received earlier in

life shows results. It is a pitiful fact

that we frequently find children in the

grammar grades of our schools with

out the slightest knowledge of the sub-

lime, characters of the Bible, the

world’s greatest book.



The place of the movie in education

and community life is well recognized,

and schools and rural churches are us-

ing this in their work. If the child’s

reading has been well directed, he will

be eager to see the masterpieces of

literature on the screen.





Not all persons can acquire an edu.

cation in the schools. We can point

out many successful men and women

who were a. failure in mathematics or

science or history; but because their

reading was wisely directed at a crit-

‘ical time, they became masters in their

line. If we can develop a taste for

good literature and good'reading to





to eat raw but is used in making sweet

pickles and very delicious preserves.

The candied citron or “citrus medi-

cus” which‘we obtain at the grocery

stores does not grow in this country.

It is grown in the Mediterranean coast

region and is exported from there.

‘In making preserves cf the citron

melon grown here the melon is sliced,

cut in strips, diced and the seeds and

rind removed. Threefourths pound of

sugar to each pound of fruit is added,





'also one lemon sliced, to each two





pounds of fruit. The whole is allowed

to stand in an open preserving kettle

tiu the juice begins to form', then it is





‘simmered slowly till the citron is ten-





der, and put away in Mason jars. A

desired quantity of crabappels, halved

and cored, may be used in place of

lemon in the preServes. The melon

does not need to be ripe.’ The flesh is

a very pale lemon color.—-—R. R. B.





SOME HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.





I have been getting help from the

Woman’s Department of the Michigan

Farmer ever since the famous bread

recipe was given nearly‘gforty years

ago, and as I was pasting the recipe





of how to put a cake together, just '





now, I wondered how many of our

readers knew that a very small piece

of cold boiled potato is splendid to

paste paper. I first saw a dressmaker

use it for cutting a pattern (to piece

out paper).

pinch of salt to the white of an egg

then form into buns—Reader.





the exclusion of the trashy, we have .





accomplished something worth While.

Educators are fully agreed that one’s

success in life is more largely determ‘

ined by the taste they have acquired

for good reading than byany other

single factor. The mother who takes

a short time each day to develop and

direct this taste in her child will have

the satisfaction of knowing that she

started him out wisely and well.



The mother who would do something

to 'aid in this task can get valuable

help from the public library. If she

lives in the country out of reach of a

library, she may get the approved lists

' of books compiled by the state depart-

ment of public instruction, from the

rural teacher. This list also contains

a list of desirable magazines for every

age from the kindergarten to the high

school. ‘If expense is a question, as it

often is, books may be obtained from

the school library that would help, and

Michigan sends out traveling libraries

to district school boards, which may

~be\ retained. in the district three

months for only the cost of transpor-

tation. Your rural teacher, can give

you full information regarding this.

Reading-circles are being encouraged

, by the department of educatidn for

. boys and girls in the grammar grades.

AM a boy twelve years old and

I live on a falm in Momoe town-

ship. My father is a farmer. This

year I took up club work and am great-

ly indebted to our county club leader,

Miss Ann R. Banks, and also to our

county agent, Mr. D. B. Jewell, for my

success. I will tell you why.

Early in the spring our club leader

‘ and county agent visited our school

and wanted to organize a potato club,

and as my sister had been in a club

'and succeeded, I thought I might try,

so I talked it over with my father. He

said he would give me a piece of

ground, so I enrolled as a member in

the club, and I think its fine for boys

and girls to be able to do club work as

its object is to make better and more

profitable farmers.



I will tell how I prepared, planted

and cared for my potatoes. First my

father gave me a new piece of land

a- quarter of an acre in size. I helped

him clear his plot in return for what

he gave me after it was cleared. My

father plowed and dragged it, then I

planted it. My potatoes were late Pe-

toskeys and bin-selected; I cut the

seeds about three eyes to the cut;

when my potatoes came up they looked

good and the ground was new and

had never been tilled, We did not cul-

tivate it at first. I went through and

pulled out the weeds, and later I got

my father with a horse and cultivator

and went through them once.



Soon after the potatoes came up the

potato bugs came so I got a pound of

Paris green and sprayed them three

times with good success.



, This fall in potato digging time, my

father dug them and I helped him pick

them up in return. My crop was good

for the kind of a year that we had, my

total yield being thirty-two bushels in

all. I saved three bushel for next

year’s seed. I sold twenty-five bush-

els and had four bushels of culls, af-

ter marketing, I figured that I made a

profit, not financially alone, but in ex-

perience also.



Our club exhibit was at the county

fair held at Wolverine, each club mem-

ber selecting fifteen potatoes. "l‘he

Uses for the potatoes are many and

varied for palatable dishes, for feed,

etc. Many very appetizing dishes are

made of potatoes, but as I am not a girl,

neither am I a cook, I have not tried

these out.



Our club held its-meetings every

Monday and at different places Mr.

Jewell demonstrated potato diseases,

pests and blight.



- Mr. K. D. Baily, certified seed in-



- ‘spector from M. A. C., visited us and

heard the'potato demonstration which



‘our team gave at the State «Fair at

“Detroit this year. All of the club gave

boys and girls. Here’s hoping they

WHY SOME BOYS DO NOT QUIT

THE FARM.





 





HIS is the story of Howard Young

who lives on a farm in Summit

county, Ohio, and who is now entering





-on his third year of poultry club work.





Howard is seventeen, and in his sec-

ond year in high school. Until he en-

rolled i‘or club work in 1920 he had,

he says, no particular interest in farm-

ing. Tlljtt year he hatched out 258

chicks and raised 228 of them. From

these he selected out 100 for his laying

pens and kept records on them over

the winter. The records show that he

made $296 above feed costs on these

to April.~ He was champion of his

county in 1920. ~



Last year he fixed up the old hen-

house as best he could, installing elec-

trical illumination to' stimulate winter

egg proddction, and adding to the flock

100 birds of high-production strain. In

all, he hatched 1,150 chicks and raised

800. His records for the year have yet

to be compiled, but those who have

followed the work believe he will clear

at least $1,000.



The record- -year in poultry extension

and club work starts in November and

Howard is entering again. He now has

entire charge of the farm poultry, and

he and his father are building a 500-

hen poultry house under the latest

plans approved by specialists 0f the

Ohio State University. He says he is

going to stay on the farm and special-

ize in pOultry raising.

Protect the Winter Birds





I t 1: One of the Bert Investment; You Can Make?





URING the, stormy months of



January, February and March



the brave birds who remain to

do service for you, perish when. the

ground and trees are snow and ice

covered. Obeying the instincts of na—

ture they remain'to do their duty,

even at the cost of their little lives.

It is no uncommon occurrence after a

severe storm to go about, the country-

side and see many lifeless bodies of

these feathered friends lying about on

the ground, or buried beneath the

snow. We should not permit this to

be the case, but provide some shelter

for them, as well as food. As long as

their bodies are kept warm with food

they can combat old man winter’s cold

blasts quite well. They need plenty of

bird houses and other places to crawl

into, away from the raging winds and

snow.



None of us are so poor in material

things that we cannot spare the trim-

mings of meat, raw or cooked meat

bones, as well as suet for the birds.

Either mutton or beef suet will provide

heat and nourishment, and sunflower.

seed heads, which are about nearly

every farm, are relished by nearly ev-

ery winter bird. The writer also brings

in the apples which cling to the

branches in the fall, thaws them out,

and places them with the other food

in the feeding shelf. The birds fairly

scream with delight for the dessert

which the apples apparently are, Can

we deny these bird fijends so little?





When these winter birds remain to

search out the eggs of insects, and the

dormant forms of insect life from the

crevices of bark, so that they will. not

have a chance to hatch out in the

spring, we should certainlygespond by

placing out the simple food that'they

require to have their lives. For the

quail,

and the stray, meadowlarks,





in ,a sheltered spot. Short boards

stood up on ends, tepee fashion, and

then covered with cornstalks make a

very good feeding station for the

ground-feeding species.



The tree sparrow, junco, horned

lark, and snow bunting, may come to

your farm and pick up the weed seeds

which the summer birds had to leave.

They often join the barnyard fowl at

feeding time, and also, come to your

doorstep for the crumbs and other

food you may throw out.

winter birds, excepting perhaps the

blue jay, are sociable and friendly, and

pleasant company for gray winter

days. The blue jay will appreciate a

raw meat bone to pick at, as well as

suet, and acorns that the children

of the house may have picked and stor-

ed away. If you are fortunate enough

to have a cardinal guest, be sure to

hang out an'ear of corn for him as

well as suet. He will also partake of

the other foods mentioned above.



The. downy woodpecker, the guardi-

an of your orchard, does enough good

work in wiping out the codling moth,

to warrant any grower putting up a

monument for it. Your appreciation





'can be shown by giving it suet and





other food for stormy days, as well as

bird houses [or other shelter, if there

are no natural tree cavities in your

orchard. I doubt very much whether

you would need to undertake the very

unpleasant and expensive spraying for

destructive insects in the spring, if you

have enough downies and other winter

birds in your orchard. .

winter birds are synonymous with

MAST FOR AMATEUR WIRELESS.





 





HE‘ amateur wireless station has

Methods employed in radio work in

been quick to imitate it.





It is possible to erect a very service- ‘

few lengths of common iron pipe such

as may be purChased at any hardware

Th Light and Dark of 1921'





OM“ Week/y Sermon—By N. A. Mchne





IVE us help from trouble: for

G vein is the help of man. Through



God we shall do valiantly: for he

it is that' shall tread down our ene-

mies.” Psalm 60: 11,12. Looking back

over 1921, there are gray skies and

bright. No one can say that the times

are wholly -,bad judging from some un-

toward events. Neither can he declare

that they are the best ever known,

drawing his conclusions from cheering

iSsues. They are times which ought

to m a k e m e 11

think. The battle

is neither all one

way or all anoth-

er. In the middle

of th e summer

came the report

that “England has

no time for God."

The spiritual

pulse of the na-

tion beats feebly,

we are told. The

churches and

chapels are'largely empty. “Something

like soul sickness has seized the peo-

ple, all classes alike driving them mad

for pleasure in which there is no joy,

9. mania for materialistic indulgence,





 





"for stimulation of the senses, for ex-





asperation of the nerves.”





One of the most eminent of English

bishops says that modern society is

anti-Christ, and the dean of Mansfield

College, Oxford, agrees, saying that

“England is pagan. The people of this

country do not know what Christian—

ity is.”w On this side of the ocean,

"there is much that leads us to similar

conclusions. The nation is still or. a.

joy-ride. “Only when cruel hunger

grips the Vitals of millions will the na-

tion once more sanely face reality.”

Perhaps that time is coming now. Tax-

es are terribly high, we all say, yet the

bill for elementary schools was only a

trifle more than that for rouge and

other cosmetics.





HE bill for chewing gum is several



times whatit is for foreign mis-

sions. The soda fountains took in

three hundred and fifty millions, which

is much more than the expense of all

the church enterprises of the nation.

The joy-rides of the United States run

to the neat sum of three billions.

(Some of these statements cover a

part of 1920, as it is impossible to di-

vide one year from another exactly).

The larger cities are spending five bil-

lions on luxuries and amusements.

About one billion is being spent on the

movies and theaters alone. The smok-

ers’ tax amounts to two hundred and

fifty millions, and twenty- three million

cigarettes are consumed every twenty-

four hours. To make a general state-





. ment, one might feel like quoting the





Englishman and saying that America

has no time for God. ~





0n the significant other hand, the

horizon is not all black. The church

made anew achievement in 1920-21,

in evangelism. Says the secretary of

the commission on evangelism of the

Federal Council of Churches, “This has

been the greatest year in evangelism

which America has ever seen.” The

number of additions to Protestant

churches during the year amounted to

two millions. The northern Baptists

received approximately 160 H000 the





‘ (southern Baptists 200,,000 the Presby-

" terian church reported at the last gen-





eral assembly 124,000 new members,





,. and the gains of the Methodist Episco-

"pal church amounted to 182, 000, with





aflarger gain expected this coming

The Lutheran church reports.





J11. w members. the Returned;





 





' uniting of the Congregational, Presby-





 





the church by membership alone. Yet

people do not unite as a rule with any

organization they do not believe‘in,

and a growing membership is one sign

of vigorous life. In Canada the most

remarkable work of church union of

modern times has taken place, in the





terian and Methodist denominations,

under the happy title of the United

Church'of Canada. Already one or two

churches in small towns are closing.

and the people meeting in one church,

with one or two ministers.





ORLD peace has received an im-



menSe impetus, from the rapid

course of events. Probably more

preaching and lecturing has been list-

ened to on the subject of peace this

year, than in any year hitherto. And

as the crown and climax of it all,

there came the peace congress in

Washington, beginning Armistice Day.

The results to date are greater than

the most sanguine had dared to hope.

The United States, Great Britain, Jap-

an have agreed on a limited naval pl‘O‘

gram, and France has within a very

few days given her assent to the plan.

China is to have a more just treatment

by the great powers. The attempt to

do away with submarines has not been

successful. But even so, it will yet be

possible for the minister to take as his





 





 





text, “Neither shall they learn war any ;

more," without exciting the risibles of.

his congregation. 1





Race prejudice among us has shown

its teeth in various ways. We are a:

pagan people, in some things. Goingi

overseas, our soldiers fought for theé

overthrow of autocracy and tyranny.‘

Yet we have both in some of their;

worst forms. In Florida an Episcopalf

minister was accused of preachingl

race equality, and was taken into thel

woods at night, Whipped on his bare

back, tarred and feathered. When the

bishop came he found the minister in-

nocent of the utterances for which he

was flogged. Information was brought

that he was to be lynched, and he left

the community. At the same time,

there is a better idealism growing in

the nation. President Harding uttered

vigorous words while in the south.

There were mutterings and curses by

a certain class, but the more enlight-

ened applauded him. In Georgia a bill

was passed by the council of one city

forbidding colored and white children

from attending the same school, but on

the petition of the pastors the mayor

vetoed the bill. Prohibition has had

its ups and downs, mostly ups, we

hope. The permission given by the

secretary of the treasury for brewing

beer for medical purposes was speed-

ily stopped by congress, and the meas-

ures for prosecuting violators of the

law are becoming more and more effi-

cient. A man who recently traveled in

sixteen states said he had seen but

two drunken men, fewer than he had

seen in license days in one city block.





America sent ship loads of supplies

and angels of mercy to Belgium during

the war, and saved the stricken prov-

inces of China last year. She can do

no less for the millions of starving'

children in Russia. A bill introduced

into congress appropriating twenty

millions for the help of the Russians

has not at this writing passed. After

all, looking all over and putting it in

one word or two, doesn‘t it amount to

this, that the greatest need (of the

world is the babe of Bethlehem,

the Christmas spirit carried the year

through? Is that a bit oldefashloned?

The old is the. true. ‘

OME people have the erroneous



idea that a. well-bred or prize-win:

ning fowl is not a. good laying one, but

they may be if properly bred. For in-

stance, I had a. pullet a few years ago

from which my present strain originat-

ed. This pullet commenced to‘ lay early

and I wished to show her at our Bar-

red Plymouth Rock state meet. She

laid in the'crate both going to and

coming from the show, as well as in

the coop while at the show, and kept

it up after returning home, besides

winning first in her class and special

the fact that changing living quarters

usually stops hens laying.



Nature itself is one of our greatest

allies in producing a heavy egg-laying

strain in poultry when aided with a

little common sense in mating. Take,

for instance, a cow with great milk-

producing traits will not produce un-

der normal conditions, any more calves

in a given time than one that gives

very little milk. With poultry this is





~ different.





Nature has so arranged it that the

chicken comes from the'egg and we

should naturally expect to get the most

chicks from the hen that lays the most

eggs, while a poor layer will leave

fewer of her kind and blood in the

flock and by careful. selections made

from these‘heavy- laying birds one can

very easily build up a heavy-laying

flock.



In making my selections for breed-

ers I also take particular care to use

only early-maturing birds that are

sturdy, vigorous, active and healthy.

I cull my flock early, selling for mar-

ket all that are slow maturing and

have other defects, retaining as breed-

ers only the most desirable specimens.





However, just because a bird is bred

to lay will not make her lay any more

than a cow will make a record for milk

production if she is neglected. They

both require proper feed and care and

one of .the most important is some-

thing we all must have near at hand





and 'thatis pure fresh water;

WHY INCUBATORS PAY.





 





N the days when breeders were poor -





in quality some poultryman doubted





the value of incubators because of the,

large mortality ‘among chicksbrooded.

artificially. But with modern brooding-





equipment to Care for the chicks, we

find that the incubator is practical and

profitable.



When only hens are used for hatch-

‘ing it is difficult to hatch early. Often

the. best hens that lay through the win-

ter are the hens that wish to' set first

in the spring. Sdmetimes these hens

are set on eggs laid by the poorer ‘lay-

ers thathave started to lay later in

the winter. This means that the, best

hens are turned away from the pro.

duction of eggs when they are most

needed to produce chicks. The hens of

less value which have not become

broody are then producing the eggs

“for hatching.



The incubator enables the poultry-

‘man to keep all of his hens busily pro«

ducing eggs. For example, a 360-egg

incubator will be doing the work of

twenty-four hens. Those hens will be

laying and I believe the strain on the

vitality of a hen due to laying is less

than the devitalizing effect- of three

weeks steadily on the nest, followed

by a long period of worrying while

penned up in a brood coop mothering

the chicks.



It seems to help in breeding out the

tendency to broodiness in a flock if

incubators and brooders are used and

the hens are broken up promptly and

One 03

the items of work in managing flocks

of the American and Asiatic breeds Is

to constantly be penning up broody

hens from spring until winter and ev-

en during the coldest part of 'winter.





It certainly pays to breed from hens '





with the smallest possible tendency to

broodiness. A good incubator not only





produces vigorous chicks but pays for ’





itself by saving time for menus—K.





 





ABscEss ON FOOT. .





We have a. year-old rooster whose

feet got all red, and were that way .for

some time. Then they bursted and

bled, now they are as good as ever.

Would you kindly tell me the cause

of this and cure for same?—J. R. H.‘

1‘ .1 'oA‘NNEns AND caowsns TO





COOPERATE.





 





HE cooperative committee of the

Michigan Caluners’ Association and





the officials of the Michigan State





Farm Bureau, representing the fruit

growers of the state, will hold a con-

ference early in January for the pur-





‘pose of working out some arrangement





for a producer-canner pack of fruit

during the coming season. Cherries





"probably will be the first fruit used





for experimental purposes.



A more friendly spirit exists be-

tween the canners and growers than

ever before. Harold Royal, of Shelby,

president of the 'Michigan‘ Canners’

Association, points out that the prob-





‘ lems of the growers are identical with

,. those 'of the canners, and what inter-





ests the one, interests the other.





BETTER BOAT SERVICE FOR

FRUIT SHIPMENTS.





 





SSURANCES of better tfacilities



for the transportation of south-

western Michigan fruit.crop in 1922

are given by the Graham & Morton

Transportation Company, of Benton

Harbor, in the announcement that it

has purchased two new steel steamers

which will ply Lake Michigan between

Chicago, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor,

Saugatuck and Holland, all large fruit

ports. The vessels will move fruits

and vegetables in season. There now

are five vessels in the company’s

fleet.





BENZIE COUNTY FRUIT GROWERS

TAKE INTEREST IN CANNING

FACTORY.





 





BLOCK of $50,000 worth of stock

in the Grand Traverse ‘Packing

Company of Traverse City, is being

subscribed by Benzie county cherry

growers for the purpose. of building a

canning factory. in Benzie county.

More than $10,000 worth was subscrib-

ed at the first meeting. If the deal is

consumated the Benzie growers agree

to deliver all of their sour cherries to

the factory. It is estimated the crop

will total one million pounds in 1922.

Growers meeting at Leland in Lee-

lanau county and at Old Mission also

have made arrangements to deliver

their cherries next year to\the-Grand

Traverse Packing Company.



This packing company in 1922 paid

the growers ten cents a pound for their

cherries in addition to seven per cent

interest on stock investment. Prac-

tically the entire crop in the Grand

Traverse region went into cans, only

a small part of it being sold to the

fresh fruit trade.





FRUIT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIA-

TIONS TO FORM EXCHANGE.





 





‘ ORGANIZATIONS which have been





invited'vto elect two delegates each

to a committee which probably will





perfect the organization of a Michigan

COUNTY Poo'Ls NURSERY

ORDERS.





HE nursery stock pool being form“



ed by the Benzie County Farm Bu-

reau now lists orders for twelve thou-

sand trees. Growers in Manistee and

Leelanau counties also may join in

the project and if they do their con-

tribution of ordeTS would practically

double the volume. County Agricultur-

ist James L. Kraker, who is in charge

of the pool, reports receiving a num-

ber of bids at greatly reduced prices





 





which indicate that the growers are'





going to save thousands of dollars

through this new cooperative deal.





GROW YOUR OWN GRAPE AND

CURRANT PLANTS.





 





HE grape and the currant will

grow and bear fruit anywhere in

Michigan. They need- no special soil

or climate. They should be on every

farm. Grape plants have been unrea-

sonably high in price owing to the





great demand. Currant plants are very _ "





high owing to the restrictions on ship-

ping. Currants are grown mostly by

eastern nurseries and they are not al—

lowed to ship plants into Michigan.

Grow your own plants easily. Here’s

how! Make cuttings from currant

bushes. Cut the tips about six inches,





long, it will not injure the old plant in





the least. Tile your cuttings in bunch—

es of twenty-five or fifty. Dig a. shal-

low pit in well-drained soil—the side

of a ravine is ideal——place your cut-

tings in the pit, butt ends up, and cov-

er them with a foot of soil. Do this

any time this winter up to February 28.



Make grape cuttings the same way

from trimmings, leaving three buds to

the cutting. Choose vines with buds

growing rather close together. Tie

them and store them in the ground

the same as the currant cuttings.

Leave your cuttings in the ground. un-

til June 1. Take them out and set

them in rows six inches between the

plants. Bury two buds and leave one

above ground._ Cultivate them well.

They will be ready to set out the next

spring or fall if you prefer. Set cur-

rants three feet in the row, rows six

feet apart, set grapes eight by ten

feet.——L. B. R.

ALFALFA ANDI TIMOTHY.





 





INCREASING the yield 05 hay by

twenty-five per cent was the result





-obtained when fifteen pounds of alfal-





fa seed and five pounds of timothy

was used per acre instead of alfalfa





alone. Experiments. conducted in:Wis-.





consin gave these results. It was also

found that the timothy plants aided

materially in keeping out bluegrass,

especially in spots Where the alfalfa

was winter-killed. The time of harvest—

The cows are .fed

ground corn, cob and oats, corn fod-

der and alfalfa hay. The local veter-

inarian who cared for cows when sick

said they would not have any bad ef-

fect from getting the corn (green).-

The heifers were not sick at all, they

are notpdue until spring. The calf was

very large and well developed. The

cow acts perfectly well and is looking

good, but does not give any milk. Will

you tell me why? The cows were on

pasture when they got into corn field.

F. F. S., Ypsilanti, Mich.——Doubtless

your six-year-old cow never fully re-

covered from the ill effects following

the eating of too much corn, which

produced acute indigestion, and hen

giving birth to a dead calf is also addi-

tional evidence that she failed to make

good recovery. The milk secreting

glands are also affected, but very little

can be done for such a case, other

than to give her good care and contin-

ue milking her. I have known similar

cases and am inclined to believe if you

breed her again, she may milk fairly

well after she has her next calf. Sup.

pression of milk secretion is likely to

follow an attack of acute indigestion,

dysentery, fever, shock or chill.



. Salting Cows.-—I would like to know

if there is any danger in cows eating

too much salt, provided it is placed

1n quantity within their reach? I have

a small box which I keep filled with

common salt. F. L. Y., Alto, Mich.—

The most intelligent way to feed any

animal salt is to give it a small quan4

tity daily, either in feed or in drinking

water. Doubtless some animals eat

far too much salt and when they do it

acts as a poison.



Feeding Pregnant Animals Cotton-

seed MeaI.—,—I would like to ask if any

harmful effects are likely to follow the

feeding of cottonseed meal to pregnant

ammals, especially the latter period

of gestation. C. R. W., Attica, Mich.—

You can safely feed pregnant cows a

limited quantity of cottonseed meal

during pregnancy, but don’t feed large

quantities for any great length of time

to any animal. '

Based on the revised estimate, it has

been calCulated that the United States

had at the beginning of the new year

only 100,000,000 bushels of wheat avail-

able for export and for Carryo'ver into

the new crop .year. The ten-year av:

erage carryover has been about 82,-

000,000 bushels. The official estimate

upon thecondition of the new winter

wheat as of December 1 was 76 per

cent which is ‘the lowest on record.





~ CORN





The department of agriculture reduc-





ed the e'stimated yield for 1921 about ,





70,000,000 bushels and decreased by

that much the apparent “surplus. of

corn. The estimate for 1920 was left

practically unchanged. About 3,100,000

bushels of corn have been bought and

about 18,000,000 bushels more will be

purchased for Russian relief.





OATS





The oat crop estimate also was re-

vised -downward. The final report was

1,061,000,000 bushels. The visible sup-

ply of cats has begun to decrease but

it is still quite large and the reduction

in freight rates may increase the

movement from farms, otherwise the

market appears to be in a strong po-





sition.

SEEDS





The final estimate on the 1921 clo-

ver seed crop was 1,411,000 bushels.

This is larger than the preliminary es-

timate but the 1920 crop figures were

also revised upward and the 1920 yield

remains only about 72 per cent of’ the

crop during the preceding year.





BEANS





The consumptive demand for beans

during the holiday season is rather

light. The market is very quiet and

will remain so for a few days. There

is not much change in prices.





HAY





Receipts of hay at the distributing~

markets as well as country loadings

are light. Only small quantities are

Egg prices broke sharply last week

on both fresh and storage goods. The

dealers report that fresh eggs were





never 'more abundant at this season of '





the year. _In spite of this increase in

supply, cold storage holding decreased

about seven per cent more than in.

December last year. The poultry mar-

BUTTER





With an abundance of foreign butter

and rather heavy supplies of domestic

butter at the principal distributing





markets, buyers have not been antici- .





pating their needs ahead and prices

declined further during the past week

especially at Chicago which was above

its usual parity with the east. Top

scores were relatively scarce and the

supply was cleaned up without much

sharp concessions as were necessary

on medium and undergrades.

' oEcE'MBER cRoP REPORT.





N increase of nearly one million

acres of rye sown in the United

States, and a condition of wheat in





Michigan seventeen per cent better ,





than the average for the United States





are the predominating features of the .





December crop report issued today by

Verne H.,Church, agricultural statisti-

cian, United States Bureau of Markets

and Crop Estimates, and Herman H.

Halladay, State Commissioner of Agri-

culture. The report was delayed in

order that the revision of crop

acreages for 1919,1920 and 1921 in ac-

cordance with the information furnish-

ed in the 1919 census could be com-

pleted by the United States Crop Re—

porting Board. The average farm price

of leading crops and the average wag-

es paid, in comparison with one year

ago, are included in the report.

Winter Wheat. ——-The acreage is five

per cent greater than that sown last

year, and amounts to .,923 000. The

weather has been generally favorable

throughout the fall and early winter,

while much of the crop was sovv’n lat-

er than usual, it has made a normal

growth. The condition is rated at 93

per cent, three per cent above the ten-

year average and four per cent better





,than on the same date one year ago.





Hessian fly is reported home number

of counties but is not as widely dis-

tributed as last year. The United

States acreage is 44,293,000, which is

slightly under the revised estimate for

last year. The condition for the coun-

try as a whole is only 76 per cent, due

to the extremely poor outlook in por-

tions of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and

other western states.



Rye—The acreage sown this year

is estimated to be 653,000, or the same

as that, of last year. While some coun-

ties report an increased acreage oth-

ers show a corresponding decrease.

The outlook is generally good through-

out the state, and the average of re-

ports received from correspondents is

94 per cent, one per cent better than

last year and two points above the ten-

year average for Decemberl



There is a maikod increase in the

acreage for the country as a whole,

the gain being estimated at 22.6 per

cent. This unusual change is due to

heavy plantings in the northwestern,

or spring wheat states. The condition

for the United States is 92.2 per cent.





Fall Plowing. —~The percentage of

fall plowing done is 34 as compared

with 27 last year, weather conditions

being favorable for that work up to

and even after December 1, except for

brief intervals.



Wages of Male Farm Labor.——Wages

paid to men hired by the month, in-

cluding board, averaged $34 as com-

pared with $53 in 1920. Without board,

they were $51 and $75, respectively.

Harvest labor, by the day, with board,

dropped from $4.10 in 1920 to $2.60 in

1921; and from $4.95 to $3.30 where

board was not included. Common day

labor dropped from $3. 30 with board

to $2; and from $4.15 without board

to $2. 60.





Necessarily, the proportion of farm-

er's will decrease. Not so many are

needed relatively, for a man’s power

to produce has been multiplied.





Put down what you think you are!





Subtract what you really are! The re-

mainder is the cause of most of your

unhappiness—T. B. B.





A gentleman may be a scholar but

he doesn’t show it.
