CURRENT COMMENT





THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





 





 





 





Brain work in the winter time is a.

fine compliment to muscle'work during

hot weather.





Memory is a valuable faculty and

should be cultivated, but the wise

farmer will aid it by keeping depend-

able records.



If you are out to succeed at farming





don’t fail to solicit the fullest coopera-

tion of nature.





The ability of the tiller of the soil

.to compare things present with those

of the past is a most valuable asset in

the farming business.





REPORT of the

Agricultural Con-





The A9“. ference held at Wash-

cultural ington last week will

Conference be found in another





column of this issue,

from the pen of our special editorial

representative who was a member of

the conference. The results of the de-

liberations of this conference, so far as

the actions taken are concerned, are

noted in this report. But the ultimate

results, as pointed out in a previous

comment as likely to be the case, are

almost certain to be of greater import

to agriculture and to the country than

these definite expressions of the con-

ference, should they be carried out to

the letter.



The deliberations of this body, in

which lee ding men in many walks of

life were brought into close contact

with the economic problems of the

farmers of the country and with farm-

ers’ economic views. are bound to have

.3. beneficial effect in bringing about a

better mutual understanding between

class elements of the body politic. The

result of these deliberations should al-

so serve to strengthen public confi-

dence in the saneness and fairness of



‘ the average farmer’s viewpoint on pub-

lic questions. Extremes of opinion are

bound to be represented in the person-

nel of a body of this kind, but the rea-

sonable fairness and conservatism of

the majority prevailed, as is certain to



' be the case in any deliberative body



in which representative, well informed



farmers predominate. Another fact il-



lustrated by the deliberations of this



conference is that independence of ,



thought and action-which is character-

kite of agricultural leaders. Perhaps



Chokheneficial results which will follow



‘ . funk expression of agricultural



‘ ‘ in the nation's capital may be





 

 





by further emphasising the fact as





agriculture is .a basic industry which

should have constant consideration in

the formulation of national govern-

mental policies. This is good public

economy, and not. in any sense class

favoritism.





HE announced pol-

icy of Michigan





The sugar manufacturers

:Sug‘fr of withdrawing their

Situation field men. and await-





ing action on the sug-

ar tariff by congress before reaching a.

decision on the terms of the contract

to be offered is not particularly reas-

suring to the sugar beet growers of

this state. In this connection a. state-

menb recently issued by the Depart-

ment of Commerce, will'be of interest.

This statement estimated that the

probable production of_sugar for the

present year would be from 300,000 to

400,000 tons' less than the production

for 1921. This prediction is evidently

based on the conclusion reached in the

statement that “The present low price

level manifestly cannot long continue

without restricting the production of

sugar below the world’s demands and

again creating high prices.” The sig—

nificance of this statement is empha-

sized by the dissolution of the Cuban

Sugar Commission on January 1, which

leaves the market uninfluenced by any

meaSure of artificial control.



If the above noted predictions are

realized the result should be most fav-

orable to the local sugar industry. Sta:

tisticians have reported a consumption

of sugar during 1921 amounting to 4,-

107,328 tons, as compared with 4,084,-

672 tons in 1920. This is‘an increase

of but little more than one-half of one

per cent, compared with an average

annual increase in production during

the past century of over five per cent.

But the estimated decrease in this

year’s production of approximately ten

per cent, should, if realized, place the

manufacturers of beet sugar in an ad-

vantageous position. Of course, this is

but an estimate, the probable realiza-

tion of which will not be admitted by





the manufacturers, but it is a possibil-q





ity which should be considered in all

deliberations regarding the acceptance

of contracts offered growers for this

year regardless of the status of tarifl?

legislation at the time contracts are

offered.



Another factor which should be tak-

en into consideration is the fabt that

last year’s troubles of beer. sugar man-

ufacturers were not wholly due to the

low price of sugar, but partly if not

more largely to the fact that last year’s

beet crop was unusually low in its

sugar content. While this fact may

have been due to various causes, it is

generally conceded that it was mainly

due to unfavorable seasonal conditions.

This was an unfortunate and unfore-

seen cause of loss to the manuflhctur-

ers, but it should not form the basis

of expectancy for the making of a con-

tract price for 1922, and should not be

accepted as such by growers.



The beet sugar industry is an im-

portant one to Michigan agriculture. It

should be preserved by a spirit of fair

play between manufacturers and grow-

ers. Present prospects for the early

settlement of tariff policies are not

flattering. We believe it would be an

unfortunate mistake for the manufac-

turers to delay the offering of a con-

tract to growers until a late date on

this pretext and then try to secure

acreage on a new basis. The sliding

scale contract based on the price of

sugar is the fairest yet used in Mich-

igan. It protects neither party from

the influence of an unfavo1 able season,

but the manufacturer is no more en-

titled- to such protection than the grow-

er, who never has such crop insurance.



It is unfortunate that former nt-

tempts to arrive at a more equl ble.

sure its permanenhe. Without Such a

Perhaps another indication is the fact

that the children of today know many

things that their elders did not know

Whatever the, other features of an

educational system, it is important

that it involves a. great share of per-

are necessary for a complete learning.

Modern educational authorities are

recognizing this fact, and are borrow-

ing from the old system to cover this

defect in the new. Spelling schools

are again becoming popular. .

Would it not be a good thing to get

back in the rural communities the

spelling school with its spirit of con-

terest? It seems that it could be made

one of the factors which will awaken

again the old community interest

which has gone to sleep because of the

influence of the modern developments.





HE annual meet-





. ings of a number



A B": of Michigan agricul-

.°f tural associations are

History being held at East

Lansing this week.





Among these is the Michigan Crop Im-

provement Association. Perhaps few

organizations have done more cen-

structive work along production lines

for Michigan farmers than has this as-

sociation. .



Largely through its influence the

state has been placed in the forefront

as a producer of high-class farm crops.

The long list of winnings in the hay

and grain division of the International

for 1920 and 1921 should satisfy the

thoughtful reader that Michigan now

occupies such a position. That the

Crop Improvement Association has

been a potent factor in developing’and

encouraging the production of a better

type of farm crops in the state is pat-

ent to those acquainted with the his-

tory of this organization.





A bit of this history will be interest-

ing. In 1905 a member of the editor-

ial staff of this journal took the initia-

titve in organizing the Michigan Corn

Improvement Association. One of the

important‘functions of this association

was the holding of annual. state corn

centests in' which growers competed

for prizes. The first show was staged

at Battle Creek during February of

that year and from then till 1914 regu-

lar exhibits were held with the result

that interest spread to scores of locali~

ties up and down the state and many

county. corn improvement associations

were formed. The work did not stop

with the farmers but became an im~

portant factor in boys’ and girls’ clubs





In 1914 the directors felt that the or-

ganization should take on a broader

field of work and to suit the name to

this larger service it was changed to

the MicMgamExperiment Association.

Under the new plan interest grew

apace, there being 250 members in 1915

and 766 in 1916. This name, however,

did not define the exact sphere of ac-

tivity, so later the directors voted to

call it the Michigan Crop Improve

ment Association.



The ideals formed and the memo





 





amusedhbettermropshythecoucm





 





of procedure, which would best. foster





well established. seed would be sent

out to members of the association from

which they would grow crops of, im-





proved. variety under farm conditions. 1





The seed produced on the farms was

then sold. through the organization to

other farmers, who again used the or-

ganization to dispose of their surplus

seed. Thus it happened that in a con?

paratively short ”ewe Michigan was

covered with Rosen rye and Red Rock

wheat with Worthy and Alexander

oats, while other good Varieties follow-

ed in their trail.



Certainly an enviable record has been

made, and the possibilities are‘inflnibe,

and with wise management this organ-

ization still has the opportunity of ren-

dering to the farmers of the state a.



’ further service of inestimable value.

Ahve a hermit who lived





near Traverse City.

This performer of the past tilled his

farm with the primeval stick and with

his steer as motive power. He lived in

a semi-dugout which he shared with

his steer and cow in winter in order

toget the heat. of their bodies for

warmth. His idle hours, which were

many, were given to the study of his-

tory, a record of the past.



Some men become recluses so that

they may give to the world the value

of silent thought. They live for they

give thoughts which add to progress.

But when a man lives entirely in the

past he is as one dead, for the past is

dead and the one who lives in it adds

nothing to posterity.



We live as fully as we are active in

progress. From this standpoint many

of us are half dead and do not know it,

for we dig ruts for ourselves so deep

that they may well be called graves.



While living, let’s live as fully as

possible for our own enjoyment and

for the benefit of posterity.

Cattle not only furnish beef, but the

Cattle are bred for milk production. If

Wool was the. principal object sought,

_ is not true in a-considerableportion of

this countryat. the present time, yet

the quality of the mutton. suppliedto





» us is very much influenced by the fact





that. the sheep is a dual-purpose animal.



The hog is, therefore,‘ the. only one

of the meat producing animals that is

used for one purpose only. He is sole-

ly and only a pork making machine.

Neither the quantity nor the quality of

the pork products of the country is af-

fected or modified by the fact that the

hog has any other use, or any other

excuse for exisitng, than that of meat

production- In the breeding and im-

provement of hogs, there is no occasion

to give attention to anything but the

kind of an animal that will produce

pork most economically.





The h\og is essentially and pre-emi—

nently a product of America. No other

animal in America has been modified,

improved and made suitable to the best

possible use for which it is intended,

to the same extent as has the hog. It

is beginning to be realized and as time

goes on, will come to be more and





' more recognized, that swine production





and improvement is our greatest and

most outstandingly American, achieve-

ment in live stock production. '





Hogs, Of the type and characteristics

that very largely predominate in this

country are not to be found in- any

other country in the world. Nearly all

our breeds of live stock owe a Very

considerable part of their excellence to

importations from other countries. Ani-

mals equal to, and in many breeds su-

perior to, any we have produced, are

to‘be found in other countries. Fre-

quent importations of a number of

breeds of live stock, still take place

from time to time. _



No breed of hogs that depended on

importations has ever made substan-

tial or centinued progress in this coun-

try. The type that is so much in the

lead and has always been,\is the Amer-

ican made type that is distinctly the

result of the constructive genius and

progressive methods of the pork pro-

ducers of this ”country. The‘ type 'pro-

duced in this country is represented

very closely by four, or possibly five,

of our breeds of swine The govern-

ment census figures indicate that more

than eighty-nine per cent of the hogs





- in the United States are of the breeds





to which reference is made.

Theprocess‘ of the making of the

present-day hog that so largely and so

nearly everywhere, is greatly in. the

lead in this country, began more than

one hundred years ago. Corn, as a

feed for domestic animals was un-

known before the discovery and settle:

ment of America. As corn became





.~ . more and more. abundant and available

‘ , as a feed in the early settlement of





this cpuntry, it came to be an import-

am: I1:11.111 later on a determining factor, ‘





an outstanding accomplishment during

the last half of the past century when

the great prairies of the middle west

were improved and brought into corn

production.



_The growing and marketing of hogs

followed the corn belt westward as it

was developed. Every breed of hogs

that has made substantial and sustain-

ed progress in this country, has been

one that conformed rather closely to

the typewthat first came into existence

in this country, after corn became an

important feed factor in the growing

of hogs.



Not many years ago, the opinion was

quite general,— that the type of hog

which was first developed in the corn

'belt and: which always has, and still





.McFadc/m

does, so very largely predominate in

the corn belt, would not meet with

much favor in other sections where

conditions were radically different. The

outstanding feature of the past fifteen

years in the hog business, hasbeen

the fact that this so-called corn belt

type has gone out and made good in

other parts of this country. As a result

of this, there is only one small section

of the country, and that not at all im-

portant in the number of hogs grown,

where'the-wAmerican produced type of

hog is not quite largely in the lead as

to numbers.



This must mean that the inherent

qualities which have been developed in

our type of hogs are such as are need-

ed and appreciated in those extensive





 





 





Discing InOats with Tractor





By I. L. Jurz‘z'ce





DISCING in oats in the corn stalk.





ground with the tractor is a job



that may be greatly facilitated by

employing a few simple precautions.

Some of these may be used to advan-

tage where horses are used. The trac-

tor brings up new problems to us very

forcibly and it is only by experience

that We learn to utilize it to the best

advantage in all farm operations.



The first thing we have found im-'

portant to observe is to break the corn

stalks before attempting to disc them.

A stalk cutter might be an advantage,





soil is an extremely hard matter, hard

on the soil, hard on the disc harrow

and hard on the tractor. The disc will

pull a third to half harder in soil that

is soggy and heavy. It will leave the

surface uneven and cloddy for it can-

not be worked smooth in that condi-

tion. When it is wet enough to need

scrapers on the disc blades it is ad-

visable to stay out of the field. If the

soil works up nicely with the disc har-

row the oats will go into a fine seed-

bed and if clover seed is sown, with

the oats a larger per cent of it will





 





 





but the next best and most economical

plan is to drag them down or break

with a long heavy pole some morning

very early while the stalks are frozen

hard. To simplify matters, break them

in the same sized lands that .will be

taken‘with the ’disc harrow, so that

when the discing is‘ done the stalks

around the land will all be lying in

the same direction. It is well to make

these lands of pretty good size in order

to lessen the frequency of turning the

corners. Many’ narrow lands make

many short turns near the finishing

point and it is necessary to Swing out

in a circle at the ends torcomplete

the work nicely. ’



Stalks will be cut up much better

by the disc blades if they have had

three to five nice drying days before

discing. The well-cut stalks are also

more readily mixed up with the soil

and a leveller surface results. Of

course, if the disc blades are dull or

nicked badly not so good a job can be

expected unless the harrow is weight-

ed down considerably. Sharp blades

will not only chop up the stalks well,

but will have greater penetration of.

the soil and reduce the fuel and oil.

consumption of the tractor. '



Sometimes it is a bit hard to find

soil conditions ideal or even approach-

ideal at earlroat-sowing time, but





 





the core.





‘ may saver several hours of delay and





be covered and germinate rapidly.

Where land is double disced the oats

and clover seed may be sown and har-

rowed in immediately; the crop so

handled is put in in excellent shape

and in an economical manner.



We uSe a tandem disc and believe it

to be more desirable than a single

disc, because the disc blades following

behind the front set are so arranged

as to pulverize or turn the soil that

the front set has missed or not pulver-

ized sufficiently. Once over with the

tandem disc completes the work. Pen-

etration of the soil can be increased by

adjustment of the angle of the discs,

but sometimes it is necessary on ex:

ceptionally hard ground to weight the

disc down with stones or sandbags.



If the cornstalks have not been brok-

en trouble will be cansed from ,dry

stalks getting in the exhaust pipe and

catching fire, which may prove to be a

dangerous matter.



‘Also pieces of stalks and shucks will

fly into the radiator which causes the

motor to overheat; this debris is diffi-

cult to clean from the small spaces of

put a piece of wire 'fly screen over the

sections where corn is a minor or‘min-

us factor as a feed for swine. , ,



Very, substantial and very remark- ;

able progress is being made by our 3;

type of hog in Canada, and if it com ‘

tinues, as in late years, swine growing

will be revolutionized in that country.

Evidences are not wanting that con-

siderable attention is being given to

our kind of hog‘s in several other coun-

tries. Perhaps the most notable indi-

cation of this was the cordial manner

in which the View Herd was received,

that was sent to South America, by the

National Swine Growers’ Association,

in the year 1920. There certainly is no

proper reason to regard as entirely un-

warranted, the opinion that some hog

men hold that the type of hog devel-

oped exclusively here in America is to

become the hog of the world.



There are a number of things that

will help to bring this about, but What

is far more important, these things ,

will also help to make hog growing and

pork production more satisfactory and

more profitable. While hogs are grown

for one purpose and that the produc-

tion of meat, and while a remarkably

predominating proportion of the pork

producers in our country have placed

their seal of approval on a certain type

of 110g, yet there is a surprising lack

of recognition of the outstanding facts

concerning'the growing of pork, on the

part of a great many people who en- 1

gage in raising hogs.





 





 

 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





There is no very apparent reason

for the fact that there are so many

persons who experiment with several

numerous instances, within the knowl-

edge of most of us, where a farmer will

try a boar of one breed one year and

of another the next and follow this up

kinds and breeds of hogs before they

are able to determine the kind they

think they will find most satisfactory.

We have a great many persons Who

have no definite or fixed policy in the

production of pork hogs. There are

with changes which will include most .

or all of the various breeds and types , ”f

of hogs. [i



‘It would be worth a vast sum in

profits to pork producers if there was

a more general understanding of what

hog production has been in this coun-

try, and of. the fact that the outstand-

ing. American type has always made

good and is solely the reason why this

is the greatest hog country in the

world



It is of no impo1tance or significance

whethei the pork n1a1keted has been

produced under a coat of 1ed hair, of

White hair, of black hair, or a combina-

tion of colors in the matter of hair.

The important thing, and the one

which nearly always determines wheth-

er there will be profit or otherwise, is

that the rugged, prolific, quick—matur—

ing type that has received the seal of

approval fiom the har-d headed farmer

pork pioduceis of the United States,

shall be the one used



There should be a more general rec-

ognition of just the kind of hog as to

characteristics, of- geneial form and

conformation size at maturity, and

early maiketing possibilities that has

CALHOUN ALFALFA ACREAGE TO

INCREASE.





 





NTERESTING facts were brought



out in the alfalfa campaign recently

conducted by County Agent Roland in

Calhoun county in cooperation with

the crops department of the agricultur-

al college. Eight hundred acres of al-

falfa are now being grown in the coun-

ty.Du11ng the yea1 1022, this acreage

will be m01e than doubled. The in-

crease will be close to a thousand acres

sown by 112 different farmers. The

smallest plot will be two acres, while

the largest seeding will be Seventy

acres. The seventy-acre plot will be

put in by the Battle Creek Sanitarium

Lakewood Farms.



The campaign in Cauhoun county

lasted for four days. A total of thirty-

five barn meetings was scheduled but

on account of badly drifted snows and

the season’s coldest weather, it was

impossible to get to five of the meet-

ings; however, the alfalfa message was

taken to more than 600 farmers and

the good, which was a 100 per cent in-

crease in the county’s alfalfa acreage,

was reached and slightly surpassed.

The alfalfa campaign will be supple-

mented by an alfalfa tour, which will

be held about the first of .June.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY BEET

GROWERS.





 





o

HE following is the text of the res-

olution adopted by the members

present at the recent annual meeting

of the Michigan Sugar Beet Growers’

Association: ‘

Whereas, Michigan is one of the

large sugar-producing states and also

located within the freight zone of great-

est competition‘from imported sugar,

we therefore ask for adequate protec-

tion to compensate for the difference

in cost of production, here and abroad.

Michigan has advanced labor and

railroad costs, together with high tax—

es, both state and national, and with

these hang-over incidentals of the great.

war, cannot compete with the low wag-

es of Europe or Cuba, measured in our

money. To effect a minimum of adjust-

ment, a duty of two and a half cents

per pound against Europe, and two

cents on Cuban sugar must be provid-

ed or Michigan must cease to produce

beet sugar. This duty, however, must

be reflected in the price paid to the

grower who is the primary producer

of sugar and we ask the aid of all or-

ganized agriculture in maintaining the

beet sugar industry in the United

States. If home production ceases and

,Czechoslo‘vakia," Austria, Italy and

France are also looking to the surplus





I ‘in America to supplement their dwind-

’ ling supplies. These facts are revealed





in a report of G. F. Warren and W. F.

Callender, of the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture, following an ex—

tended ‘study of agricultural and mar-

két conditions in‘ Europe.



Drought in Europe.



The severe drought that occurred in

Europe last spring came after the rye

and wheat 'crops were out of danger.

In fact, the abundant sunshine, coupled

with sufficient moisture in the seil to

ripen these crops resulted in excellent

yields, declares Dr. Warren, but barley

and oats were generally damaged and

corn, potatoes, sugar beets and fodder

crops suffered most of all, For exam-

ple, in Germany the wheat yields per

acre were twenty per cent above last

year, While potato yields per acre were

thirteen per cent less than last year.

In Hungary the wheat yield per acre

was 14.4 bushels last year and 17.5

bushels this year. But the yield of po-

tatoes per acre was 121.2 bushels last

year and 66.7 bushels this ‘year. Corn

yielded 24.9 bushels per acre last year

and 13.6 bushels this year.



The drought damaged pastures and

fodder crops to such an extent that in





' M'cnzgan Start T alter Prizes in Angus





some countries live stock‘was sold off-

as a’result. Such sales tended further

to depress the meat markets. The

"drought also delaYed the planting of

winterwheat until the late rains came.

The area seeded was reduced and in

much of Europe the sewing was done

after the best date for seeding, so that

the crop next year will be injured un-

less the winter is very favorable.

Surplus-Producing Countries of



’. Europe.



Roumania’s exportable surplus will

probably be less than 300,000 tons, re-

ports L. G. Michaels, who is making

similar studies for the Department of

Agriculture in that country. This

would indicate that earlier supposi-

tions that the Roumanian surplus

would been important source of sup-

ply for Europe are no longer tenable.

Great difi‘iculty is being experienced

in 'Rou'mania, writes Mr. Michaels, in

concentrating this small surplus be-

cause of shortage of cars, price fixing,





and governmental conditions. The corn





crop is much below last year’s and is

barely sufficient to supply local needs.



Hungarian oflicials stated in Novem-

ber that permits had been issued for

the exportation of 100,000 tons of wheat

flour. Later the amount was some-

what increased. It is doubtful, how-

ever, whether this amount will actu-

ally leave the country, as the Danube,

the principal outlet, is frozen over and





 





there is a serious shortage of cars.



The Polish grain crops were much

better this year than last and permits

were issued in the fall for the exporta-

tion of 50,000 tons of rye and barley.

Little progress has been made, how-

ever, and it is doubtful whether Poland

will be a significant factor in the ex-

port situation this year. It is even pos-

sible that imports will be required be-

fore the next harvest.



All of these countries combined will

play a very small part in the export

situation this year. .



Although the production of wheat

and rye in Europe in 1921 was much

above 1920, a large amount of grain

must be imported before the next har-

vest. The consumption of" the new

crop began about a month earlier than

usual; the fodder, root and potato

crops are smaller than usual; the con-

dition of the fall-sown crop of wheat

and rye is not satisfactory so that the

farmers are inclined to hold over some

of this year’s crop.



The total production for eighteen Eu-

ropean countries for 1920 and 1921 was

as follows:





1920. 1921.

Wheat ... . 846,691,000 1,050,640,000

Pride of Glencarnock 3d.





ERE is another group of prize-



winning cattle, exhibited at the



last International. They are from

the splendid herd of Angus cattle on

the Wildwood Farms owned by Wil-

liam E. Scripps, of Orion. Mr. Scripps’

winnings, at the 1921 International are

as follows: Third in junior yearling

bull class on EirreboIl of Bleaton;

fourth in same class on Plum, Square

and Level; seventh in the aged cow





- class on Pride of Glencarnock 3rd;





ninth in senior heifer class on Queen“

Nina 2d; eighth in junior yearling heif-

er class on Pridista of Wildwood; sixth

in senior heifer class on’ Queen Mary

Ann, and second in junior steer calf

on Black Printer.

. Regarding these animals and their

progeny Mr. Scripps has the followmg

to say: ‘ '



Although Edgar of Dalmeny was not

exhibited at the International in 1921,





 





 





mention is made of him because of his

remarkable record. There has never

been an exhibition in this country or

abroad where an offspring of this fa-

mous sire has been shown, that at least





~one of them did not finish well up in





the money.



At the International in 1921,_ five an-

imals sired by Edgar of Dalmeny were

led into ‘the prize: ring, and all five

were awarded prizes. These winners

were: Plumb, Square and Level,

Pridista of Wildwood, Queen Nina 2d,

Queen Mary Ann and Black Printer

(steer). _



Edgar of Dalmeny was raised on the

Dalmeny Home Farm by the Earl of

Rosebury on the Dalmeny estate near

Edinburgh, Scotland. He was imported

by us in 1918. His winnings in Great

Britain are nothing short of remark-

able. He is the sire of Blue Bell, the

porting and must continue to import

grain are: The United Kingdom, the

Scandinavian countries. Czechoslovak-

ia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzer-

land and France. ‘



The Wheat crop in the British Isles

this year was large but reports state

that most of it has been consumed.

Probably imports will continue at near-

ly the usual rate. The German needs

for the remainder of the year were

given on November 1 as approximately

2,000,000 tons. Very little has since

been imported. When the mark drop-

ped so low in value the German gov-

ernment delayed its purchases of grain

waiting for a hoped-for Improvement

in the exchange rate. One of the pri-

mary factors in the wheat situation is

the ability of Germany and Austria to

buy. On December 1 the needs of

Czechoslovakia were stated by officials

to be 250,000 tons. Austria is import-

ing and will need to import 50,000 tons

of grain a month for the balance of the

year. The needs of France will be de-

pendent, on the amount held by farm-

ers but probably an importation of half

a million tons will be required. It is

stated that Italy will need about 1,000,-

000 tons in addition to her own crop in

order to furnish a, normal supply to

her people. The United Kingdom and

Holland have been heavy importers of

corn during the year and will probably

continue to import.

Our Sperm! Representative Reports Me Proceedings" of M25 Important Gatfler’mg





HE National Agricultural Confer-

ence was called by Secretary

Henry C. Wallace, of the United

States Department of Agriculture, at

the request of President Harding. ‘It

met at Washington on January 23-27,

and was attended by about three hun-

dred representatives of the farming in-

terests, together with representatives

of such related interests as implement

manufacturing, milling, meat packing

and fertilizer production.

In general character the delegates

ranged from conservative to radical,

[the plan-being to give a direct oppor-

tunity for factors and; factions to come

in contact and express themselves with

a view to getting concrete facts and

suggestions that would offer a basis for

a constructive program of agricultural

reconstruction. It was a fine body of

men and women and. the program pre-

sented many points of outstanding in-

terest. The real constructive work of

the conference was done through com-

mittees, every regular delegate being

assigned to a working group.

The outstanding feature of the con-

ference was the address by President

Harding. He discussed the farm crisis

and offered some constructive sugges-

tions. He declared that with an intel-

ligent public most problems were well

~0n the way toward a solution when

they became understood. The confer-

ence had been called to bring about

such a general understanding of the

critical situation now confronting

American agriculture. “Concerning the

grim reality of the present crisis in

agriculture,” said the President,

“There can be no differences of opin-

ion among informed people. The de-

pressions and discouragements are not

peculiar to agriculture, and I think it

fair to say there could have been no

avoidance of a great slump from war-

time excesses to the hardships of read-

justment. We can have no helpful un-

derstanding by assuming that agricul-

ture suffers alone, but we may fairly

recognize the fundamental difficulties

which accentuate the agricultural dis-

couragements, and menace the health-

ful life of this basic and absolutely nec-

essary industry." ’



The President declared that it was

obvious that “the farmer needs to have

provisions, adapted to his requirements,

for extension of credit to produce his

working\capital.” In connection with

the Federal Loan Board he commented

on the fact that while farm finance has

been benefited the board had not ex-

tended its operations to provide work-

ing capital as distinguished from per-

manent investment in the operating

plant. He declared that all the farm—

er needs is a chance. With a fair show

he is as good a business man as any

other; that his credit can be better es-

tablished, his particular needs for cap-

ital suited to his requirements can be

met on terms suited to his require-

ments but that it cannot be too strong-

ly urged that the farmer must ever be

ready to help himself. He declared

that the laws permitting adequate co-

operation for which farmers are asking

should be passed and that both pro-

ducer and consumer would profit



thereby. He even went. so far as to

say that with proper financial support

‘ .and with facilities for Collecting and

disbursing information “a group of co-

operative marketing organizations

would be able to advise their members

as' to the probable demand for staples

’ and to propose measures for proper

{limitation of acreages in particular

"‘ops. The certainty that such scien-

tific distribution of production was to

' observed would strengthen the

' crease the,

could be made to it. The disastrous

effects which arise from over-produc-

tion are notorious.” He endorsed the

Great Lakes- St. Lawrence waterway

project by reason of the fact that

through it: a great population would be

brought in immediate touch with the

markets of the world. This address

made a profound impression and was

warmly received.



In explaining the call for the con-





ference Secretary Henry C. Wallace,

of the United States Department of

Agriculture, said that the crisis in ag-

riculture was affecting our entire bus-

iness and industrial life, and that in

bringing together thismost represent-

ative. body of men in agricultural his-

tory it was hoped to have some sign

boards set up to assist toward perma-

nent improvement. The only consid-

eration in calling the delegates was





 





 





 





Consider Drainage Topics





M z'c/zzgarz Drain Commimz’onerx Hold Annual M eating





T the annual meeting of the Mich-

A igan Association of Drain Com-



missioners, held at Saginaw, Jan~

uary 24-26, Ezra Levin of the state ag-

ricultural department, told the dele-

gates that his department was ably

assisting in improving the drainage of

the state, and that the United States

census showed Michigan to be the lead-

ing state in executing drainage proj-

ects. ,



“The only way'to decrease taxes in

the state,” said Mr. Levin, “is to in-

crease our resources, and one of the

best ways to do this is to drain land,

thereby increasing its value. State

officials realize this fact and have prom-

ised to create a drain department equal

in importance to the state highway de-

partment.”



Discussing the plan, recently author-

ized by the legislature, of bonding to

raise money for drain building. instead

of putting the entire cost into the tax

roll, R. H. Briggs, of Marshall, describ-

ed how Calhoun county, the first to

put the new plan into effect, had made

drain improvements that otherwise

would have been impossible.





“Under our old system, he said,

“there was absolutely no provision to

take care of the farmer who moves on

a piece of wet land, with only enough

money to make'a payment on the land

and buy the necessary farm equipment.

The man who has money enough to

pay a heavy drain tax, with no oppor-

tunity to get it from the land first, can

generally get along without the drain

far better than the man who has not

the money to pay the tax. The very

fact that a farmer needs the drain the

most makes him all the more unable to

pay the bill afte1 he gets the water

out of his s011”





“1 know of several cases where

farms were sold because the OWners

were unable to pay a drain tax of less

than $15 per acre, and these farms

were resold within from two to. four

years for an increased price of $25 to

Now, should we not use

our best efforts to provide some sort

of practical aid for farmers who need

drainage the most and are the least

prepared to pay for it?”



Bert R. Walker, of Mariette, gave an

interesting discussion on “Bridge Con-

struction Suitable for County Drains.”



How food production of Michigan

farm lands can be increased from fifty

to one hundred per cent by proper

drainage, was explained by Arthur G.

Bovay, agricultural agent of the Sagi-





naw County Farm Bureau,, at the Wed-





nesday afternoon session at the Ban-

croft Hotsh-



“A prominent oflicial of the United-

States government stated recently that

the had tedn ‘1'. .





 





 





hint, and E L. Hater. of Charlotte,





be paid in food,” said Mr. Bovay. “Did

he mean that America would be im-

porting \food? Our several million

acres of so-calledimproved land now

under cultivation needs the water table

lowered at least two feet in order to

produce crops profitably.



“On good authority, as the results of

experiments, it has been conceded

that the present tillable area of this

state could produce fifty'to one hun~

dred‘ per cent more food by supplying

adequate drainage. With your cooper-

tion, support and influence, the state

of Michigan may get the most efficient

and practical drainage laws, and in this

way do much toward preventing the

above prophecy from becoming a

reality.” ‘



Discussing the means whereby im-

provement of Michigan’s drainage can

be brought about, Mr. Bovay discussed

many of the scientific principles ‘under-

lying proper drainage, and pointed out

many of the requirements necessary to

be met.



In a highly interesting paper, David

A. Nicol, Saginaw county surveyor, de-

scribed the drainage and flood condi-

tions of the Saginaw Valley, showing

how the Saginaw river drains thirteen

counties,'and how the lack of fall in

the Saginaw river prevents proper dis-

posal of the waters from its tributar-

ies, resulting in annual floods.





Asking the public utilities commis-

sion to lower freight rates on drain

tile; praising the work of the state

agricultural department,

that the state drain commissioner,

when that office created work under

the agricultural department, and elect-

ing officers for the coming year, the as-

sociation brought its annual meeting

to a close with a banquet Thursday

night, tendered by the state dredge

contractors.



“As essential to the general welfare

of the people of the state toimprove

farm drainage 'as to improve the coun-

try roads,” the convention asked the

public utilities commission to “give

drain tile the same rate consideration

they have road materials.”



Richard A. Smith, state geologist,

gave an excellent paper in which he

discussed drainage conditions, particu-

larly_the proposed establishment of a

state drainage department, which he

strongly advocated.



At the banquet William M. Smith, a

member of the public utilities commis-

sion, was toastmaster. Rev. Emil Mon-

tanus, of Saginaw, gave an address and

Mueller Brothers sang several songs.



George Graham, of Mason, was elect-





ed president of the association; Orley.





.Roades, of Grant, was named vicelpres-





 





advocating-





t‘h‘eir known ability to help just as dur-

ing the war no questions were asked

as to politics, religion 0r race. All dei-

egat-es came at their own expense and

the response had been beyond expecta-

tions. The three lines of possible pro-

cedure were said to be through legis«

lative ‘action, through administrative

and educational effort by state and na-

tion» and through individual farmers

and their organizations.





In discussing the presentsituation

and agricultural prices Hon. Sydney





' Anderson,7permanent chairman of the





conference, and chairman also of the

Congressional Joint Committee of Ag-

ricultural Inquiry, presented some val-

uable statistical results of the work of

the committee and ended up by declazw

ing that while there was no govern-

ment panacea he was persuaded that

results could be attained through more

efficient organizations of producers for

standardization of products for mar.





ket and delegating their sale to some ,





agency which the producers control.

Also that the government must remove

all obstacles which retard, if they do

not prevent, combinations of. farmers

for the purpose of sorting, grading,

packing and processing their products;

that the states must give legal status

to organizations of this kind and es‘

tablish their legal powers .and obliga-

tions as well as the legal powers and

liabilities of the members.





A number of speakers presented the

situation in their respective sections

of the United States. E. B. Cornwall,

speaking for the northeastern states,

declared against arbitrary price fixing.

James W. Morton, of Georgia, speaking

for the cotton belt, declared that the

only recipe for recovery was work and

careful management. He declared

against paternalism but that a read

justment of transportation charges was

necessary. For the corn beltA. Sykes,

of Iowa, told of the plight in which the

corn growers found themselves and

called for valuation of commodities in

terms of farm products as well as se’

vere limitation of pure speculation in

food products. For the wheat regions

of the northwest John H. Hagen, ofi

North‘Dakota, declared that better

long time credit facilities were neces‘

sary, that freight rates must be reduc«

ed and that he considered a fixed min-

imum price as essential. This latter

statement did not meet with cordial

agreement, however, on the part of the

delegates. For the range country Fred

Bixby, of California, declared that the

cattle loan companies were gripping

the industry and that it was in a bad

way. Better financial facilities were

necessary and lower freight rates de~

manded.





Speaking for the implement industry

W. H. Stackhouse, of Springfield, Ohio,

stated that the manufacturers had tak-

en off liberal percentages of their ad»

vances made during the‘war time pe

riod of high costs and that in most

cases it was impossible to extend cred-

it facilities beyond a limited date. He

urged an extension of the functions of

the War Finance Corporation,. that

shippers use every possible .means to

assist railroads in reducing their oper«

ating costs, that the Adamson law be

repealed and .freight rates reduced.

M_.r James F. Bell, of Minneapoli .5, ex-

plained that it made little diffezence

HE folly of .keeping'considerable

sums of money. in the house, is





again: shown in the case of Mr. Clayton





Phelps, a Well-todo farmer who has

long considered his money safe in his

own keeping.



Doubtless some watchful and dishon-

est individual discovered that he paid

his bills by cash instead of by check

through a regular banking institution;

and as Mr. Phelps’ home is situated

on one side by itself, as \he is some-

what deaf and lives alone with his

sisterr it all looked like an easy place





' to rob.





But the two robbers had reckoned





'without their host for they did not

know what a game fighter the farmer

would prove to be, nor how his sister

would outwit them by slipping out of

the front door and summoning help.



Nevertheless, Mr. Phelps had to do

battle withhis assailants for nearly an

hour: 'I-Ie defended himself with an

axe. He was shot’ in the forehead and

fortunately the bullet was about a

quarter of an inch too high to prove

fatal. The men escaped and have not

been apprehended at this writing.



As soon as his condition permitted

Mr. Phelps sorted over his cash which





amounted, it is said, to several thou-

sand dollars, even the silver which he

had in the house, and his bonds, and

placed them in a bank for'safe-keeping.



Sooner or later those who keep valu-

ables in the house are sure to come to

grief. Theft or fire are liable to men-

ace at any time. Mr. Phelps had a

house safe, but in the hands of a skill-

ed burglar this is not much protection.





' The attempted robbery at the Phelps’ _





homesteadtook place at about 8:30 in

the evening, as the robbers did not

even seem to' think it‘ necessary to wait





.until the {family had retired.





To have one's possessions cared for

in the,safest possible way is surely

good judgment and the small expense

entailed is more than offset by the

peace of mindigained. Physical dan-

ger for the owner of valuable prop-

erty and other members of the family

as well, attend keeping such posses-

sions in the house.



Banks with their vaults as impreg-

nable as they can be made, with their

burglar alarms, with their night watch-

man, with police surveillance, and fire-

proof construction—are the proper

storehouses for~ valuable belongings.—

Inferior Tile Is Costly





By W. V472 Haz'z‘rma





0 amount of care in the planning



and construction of a tile-drain-



age system will compensate for

the risk involved in using tile of poor

quality. Many a system of drainage

has ceased to function because the tile

failed to stand up. This has resulted

in the loss of the entire original invest-

ment in the purchase, hauling, distrib-

uting, laying and covering of the tile,

not to mention the loss in crops‘due

to the resultant lack of drainage. A

single broken tile in a drain may allow

So much soil to enter it that it becomes

completely clogged for a considerable

distance.





Since the value of the labor required

to construct a drain or to restore its

efficiency once it has become clogged

generally exceeds the cost of the tile,

it follows that poor tile are expensive





even, no criterion of their quality be-

cause the manufacturer of poor tile us-

ually asksas much for his product as,

does the manufacturer of good tile.

The farmer should have the same pro-

tection when purchasing tile that he

has when purchasing fertilizers. The

sale of tile that fall below a safe stand-

ard of strength and durability should

be prohibited by law.





SinCe the farmer must depend very

largely upon his own judgment when

buying tile, a brief discussion of the

points to be considered may be of

value. '



Tile should be uniform in shape, that

is, round and straight. Tile that have

become warped through overburning

or careless handling are hard to fit,

and reduce the capacity of, the drain.

Their ends should be smooth and their

interior free from irregularities which

impede the flow of water.



The strength of tile depends upon

their weight, the degree of burning and

method of curing, and the quality of

the material used in their manufac-

A founinch tile should Weigh

from six to seven pounds; a five-inch

eight'rto ,ten pounds; and a six-inch





,from eleven. to twelve pounds.





Since all but a negligible amount of

he water entering a tile drain enters





 





The price of tile is, how-1





peel when exposed to the

should never be laid above the frost-

line, nor is their use considered advis-

able even under the most favorable

conditions. All tile should be so hard

that they emit a clear, metallic ring

when tapped with a hammer.





The color of clay tile depends upon

the degree of burning to which they

have been subjected and the kind of

clay from which they have been made.

There is no objection to the use of

white tile, provided they have been

properly burned. Lime spots in the

walls of tile are considered sufficient

cause for rejection because their pres-

ence reduces the strength of the tile.





There are no stronger tile than those

made from shale. When in doubt about

the quality of any other available kind,

buy vitrified or salt-glazed tile. They

are more frost-resitant than clay tile

and are therefore recommended for use

at outlets and 'in such portions of the

drains as lie above the frost-line. They

are not, however, recommended for

general use unless their cost comes





within a few dollars of the cost of a '





good grade of clay tile which, experi-

ence has shown, will last indefinitely.



“Safety First” should be the farm-

er’s slogan when selecting drain tile.





‘If he dare not depend upon his own





judgment he should engage an experi-

enced man to select his tile for him.

Tile should not be selected from sam-

ples. Samples have a habit of setting

a standard of quality to which the lots

from which they are selected cannot

aspire. Insist on seeing the tile as they

are piled up at the factory, or, which

is better still, inspect a shipment that

has already been made to some farm-

er. Don’t allow the lure of low prices

of seconds and culls to induce you to

buy them. Bear in mind that the effi-

ciency of a drainage system cannot be

insured permanently unless none but

tile of known strength and durability





are used. -’

said to have progressed rapidly in the

past two years in reducing an untried

phase of cooperative marketing to effi-

cient methods of procedure. Experi-

TREES ON ROADSIDE.





 





Is there any law or rule against cut-

ting trees along the road on one’s own

farm, that, is, outside fence or road

line? I have about forty rods that ,is

very thickly grown of all sizes of

trees, some as close as three feet apart.

Would like to clean it up if I have the

right to do so.——E. R.



These trees belong to.the owner of

the land adjoining that side of the road

and he may do anything he pleases





with them.-——J._ R. R.





GRASS FOR BLOWSAN D.





 





Would you please tell me what kind

of a permanent grass I could plant on

some blowsand spots? I would like

to keep it from blowing. W'ould quack

grass do, or is itnot a good plan to

.sow it?—H. W.





Sheep’s fescue is sometimes used to

hold light sandy spots. Marram grass

is also used along the lake front. A

mixture composed of sheep’s fescue,

rye grass, brome grass and orchard

grass would likely be of more value

than the seeding of a single grass. If

the spots are not large would suggest

atop-dressing of strawy manure to

hold the sand and add fertility for the

growth of the grass—~C. R. M.





 





BEET FACTORY LIME.





In the January 7 isshe of your paper

I read an article urging farmers to use

sugar beet limecakc. I know of a pile

of this limecake which has been left

for ten years. \Vill you please tell me

if this would be worth hauling?~F. S.



Lime cake, as collected in the ordi-

nary beet factory lime refuse pile will

keep almost indefinitely without dam-

If for any reason

a great deal of impurity or foreign mat-

ter washes into it ap analysis for lime

carbonate is the best means to ascer-

tain its agricultural value—J.





 





 





PRIVATE LAKES.





What a1e the laws of Michigan re-

garding fishing a lake containing from

fifteen to thirty- five a1es? It has an

outlet but no inlet. This lake is sur-

rounded by a man’s land and the only

possible way to get to it without get-

ting on this land is to walk up the

outlet, which is not wide enough to

take a boat. Would I have a right to

fish on this, lake if I walked up the out-





 





1et?—M



This is a private lake and nobody

has any right on it without the consent

of the owner. The method of approach

proposed may be. navigation in the

slang sense, but this outlet is not a

navigable stream.~——J. R. R.





FOOD VALUE OF COOKED BEANS.





 





Please tell me how much value cook~

ed beans are as a food for milking





" cows. —D. D.





Ordinary white beans are classed

among the higher protein feeds and

are often, as cull beans, a very cheap

source of that food so essential to milk





* production. On the dry basis they con~

' tain about nineteen per cent digestible





protein. Compared with choice cot-

ed meal with thirty-seven per cent





’ tonseed meal with thirty-seven per





cent, oil meal thirty per cent, and bran

at 15.5 per cent, they rank well. Be-

sides protein they contain considerable

of the fat and energy producing sub-

stances, ranking about the same as

oats or flour middlings, but somewhat

lower than corn in this respect.



The chief objection to beans for the

dairy cows is the fact that they are

unpalatable “and Cows dislike them.

This can be overcome to some extent

be fed daily. If larger amounts should

be consumed they may prove some‘

what too laxative.



Cooking probably does not increase

their digestibility greatly if at all. but

does improve their palatability, thus

causing the cows to relish them better

and consumer larger quantities. Wheth-

er or not they are cooked will depend

on the cost of cooking and whether

they are cull beans containing stones,

thus preventing their being ground.—

J. W. W.





RIGHTS OF SECOND MORTGAGE.





 





A. has first mortgage due in three ’

years. B. has second mortgage due in

four years. When B. sold the farm to

C. he did not take a chattel mo’rtgage

on stock and machinery. Now C. wants

to sell the stock and machinery. Can

B. get his money when it is due? If

B. wants to lose his mortgage, will he

be responsible for the interest and tax-

es? Will he be clear of all responsi-

bility?——G. H. S.





The taking of a second mortgage

creates no obligation to pay the first,

nor interest on it. But on the other ~

hand, one liable for a debt does not

escape it by giving a mortgage to se-

cure it and selling subject to the mort-

gage to one who agrees to pay it.



Though a debt is secured by mort-

gage the creditor may sue on the debt

and take execution against any prop-

erty not exempt—J. R. R.





A BALANCED RATION FOR

JERSEYS.





Will you be so kind as to give us a.





balanced ration for. Jeisey milch cows? . y





We are feeding: No. 1 alfalfa, shred-

ded cornstalks. corn silage and ground

oats. W'e wou‘d buv what is needed

to provide a balanced ration.~-—‘<‘. R". G.



The following grain mixture should

give good results with the roughages

you mention fed, when fed to your Jer-

sey cow at the rate of one pound of

grain for each three pounds of milk

produced daily: Corn meal, three

parts; oil meal, one part; and cotton‘

seed meal, one part. If alfalfa hay is

being fed very liberally, at least twice

daily, the oil meal may be removed

from the mixture and the amount fed '

reduced to one pound to each four

pounds of milk produced daily.



More satisfactory rations can be sug-

gested, if the approximate weight off

the cow, amount and approximate test

of the milk, as well as the kinds and

amounts of feeds fed are given when

making requests—W.





CEMENT TILE FOR DRAINAGE.





 





I would like to know about cement

tile. They tell me that cement tile will

not last’under ground. How much ce«

ment should I use to make tile and

how many tile can one make out of a

barrel of cement ?—O. N.





Cement tile have been used to a con-

siderable extent in various sections of

the state as well as in other states.

Cement tile, however, cannot be uni-

versally recommended for drainage

work. Investigations by the experi-

ment station have indicated that many

cement tile have been laid in muck

ground where they have entirely dis-

integrated within a period of five years.

Cases of failures have also been found

in sand, while in clay there seems to

be little or no deterioration as far as

observations have shown.



We have not, as yet, seen our way

clear to recommend the manufacture

of. cement tile by the farmer. There

are many ways in which failure can

occur and the farmer (:11th word to}

”TO PLACE HIGHWAY 'MARKERS..





 





HE State Highway Department has



approved the request of the Upper

Peninsula. Development Bureau to

mark all main trunk line roads in the

peninsula with the sign of the clover-

leaf, and such markings will be install-

ed as fast as may be, it is announced.

The secretary of the bureau, Mr. G. E.

Bishop, is also urging the placing of

historical markers throughout the pe-

ninsula as has been done in Marquette

county by the Marquette County His-

torical Society with the financial as-

sistance of the county board of super-

visors. Such markers add greatly to





\ the interest of all who use highways.





TO ESTABLISH FISH' HATCHERY.

INTEREST is being shown in the



upper peninsula to the project to

establish another state fish hatchery

in this territory. Marquette, county

believes it has several eligible sites,

while the Calumet Chamber of Com-

merce has designated a site near trunk

line fifteen on the way to Copper Har-

bor as suitable for the proposed hatch—

cry. Meanwhile it is announced that





the state department of'conservation

is short of funds for any such purpose.





 





LUMBERING IN KEWEENAW.





 





UMBERING operations in the old



cut-over district of Keweenaw

county have been resumed this winter,

reports the Copper Journal,» of Han-

cock. Many years ago this territory

was pretty thoroughly cleaned of its

saw-timber for 'mining and other pur-

poses, but there is said to be consid-

erable pine in the vicinity of Lac La.

Belle close to Lake Superidr which

will be disposed of.





 





UPPER PENINSULA ROAD WORK.





 





HE plans of the state highway de-



partment for road construction in

the upper peninsula during 1922, call

for fifteen miles of new hard surfaced

highway in Marquette county, it is an-

nounced. while Chippewa, county will

see 9.5 miles constructed: Alger coun-

ty,"nine miles, Delta county, 7.5 miles.

The share of Gogebic and S'choolcraft

counties is three ‘miles each, while

Dickinson’s is two miles.





 





TO MAKE REAL ESTATE BUYING

SAFER.



IN his remarks at a recent meeting,



Mr. J. A. Doelle, of the State De-

partment of Agriculture, spoke of the

projected soil survey, or classification,

which the department has now in hand

and he also spoke of the need of an

accredited list of real estate agents,

«which, when it has received the 0. K.





,of the State Department of Agriculture

will deserve and command confidence





1 of land purchasers; and he said that





the Department of the Michigan Real

Estate Association is working on a





‘ plan for such an accredited list of real





estate dealers.





 





OIL POSSIBILITIES IN THE UPPER

. » ‘ Penmsum.





 





TUDIES in the field by the state



geologist havegshown the scientific

foundation for believing that oil may

be discovered in the upper peninsula

at Seul-Choix (pronounced locally

“See/sh-wa) Point on the Lake Michi-

gen shore of Schoelcraft county, and

during the summer active drilling was

undertaken about a quarter of a mile





 





from. the lake shore. When .1. E. Doelle





 





   





 

 





September, We found regular drilling

apparaatus in position and considera-

ble work already accomplished. More

recently still a. scientific study of the

field has been made by E. E. White,

described as an oil geological expert

from the Texas field, under the aus-

pices of the ClevelandClifls Iron Com-

pany, one of the oldest, largest and

most conservative mining companies

in the peninsula. MT. White’s report,

as recently made public, is very opti-

mistic, but recognizes that it will per-

haps take several drill-holes to defi-

nitely determine theoi'l possibilities of

the region; ome six thousand acres

of land have been taken under lease

by the trustees for the contributors, ,-

the trustees residing, it is stated, in

Saginaw. If oil is discovered it will

not make a lot, of farmers rich-over

night, for the field lies in an undevel-

oped area, covered with a scr-ubby for-

est growth for the most part. How-

ever, ‘a few miles away is some of the

best farming country in the peninsula,

and if oil'is discovered, it is clear that

these farmers will not be unaffected

thereby. It has often been pointed out

that, with our remarkable line of min-

‘eral and other resources, enjoyed by

the peninsula, only coal or oil is lack-

ing to complete the elements in a great

industrial advance. The present field

lies close to an old fishing harbor on

Lake Michigan, which will afford ready

means for lake shipment.





TAKES UP HOMESTEAD LAND.





SECTION of homestead land has



been taken up by a farmer in the

valley of the Escanaba river in the

central portion of the upper peninsula.

This land was taken up under the spe-

cial grazing act of the United States

which permits entry upon 640 acres for

grazing purposes only, in distinction

from the old homestead act which al-

lows 160 acres to be entered for agri-

cultural purposes. .The grazing act is

applicable chiefly to the western cattle

and sheep range. and it is believed

that this is the first entry of the kind

made in Michigan. It suggests the

possibility of utilizing still other tracts

of government land in this territory

not desirable for agriculture. Since

such land is presumed to be unfit for

agriculture, difficulty may, be encoun-

tered in providing winter feed.





 





CLOVERLAND CORN CROPS.





 





W HILE the Lake Superior country

not set itself up as a corn pros

ducer, I have recently been shown sam-

ples of ‘corn grown near Marquette in

sight of this lake which would do cred-

it to the corn belt. Robert Blemhuber,

former upper peninsula member of the

board of directors of the Michigan

State Farm Bureau, was again suc-

cessful, this year, in maturing several

varieties of corn with excellent yields

per acre. It may be remembered that ,

photographs of. Mr. Blemhuber’s corn

field were published in The Michigan

Farmer a year ago. Of this year’s

’ plantings, the variety known as “Rain-

bow” matured in ninety days from

planting, while the Wisconsin number

seven and number twelve matured in

110 and 120 days, producing a large,

well-filled ear in each case. Mr. Blem-

huber found that his corn grown from

native seed matured a\week earlier

than that from imported- seed., It has

often been suggested that there should

be facilities greater than at present

for producing and distributing home-

grown seeds and nursery stocks of all

kinds adapted to the peculier climatic. ‘

' ' QR.“ S. S. BAILEY, who lives a



‘ ish'ort distance from Gaylord, be-

lieves in growing good potatoes and in

growing them right. 'He grows the

Round Russets which he has raised for

years, constantly trying to improve

them. . ._



Mr. Bailey writes from his northeast-

ern Michigan home as follows: “These

potatoes have yielded two hundred and

twenty bushels per acre for me three

years in succession. Planted three

feet each way with just ordinary culti-

vation and spraying. But the time has

gone by when the northern Michigan

farmer can plant a field of potatoes

and then forget them and go back in

the fall and dig a good crop. Now he

must be on the job.



“Last spring I decided to take up the

production of certified seed so plowed

three acres of June clover sod upon

which I had spread ten loads of ma-

nure per acre. I harrowed and planted

in hills three feet apart each way.

Thirtysix bushels of No. 1 potatoes

were used. These were first treated

with corrosive sublimate, then when





dry out with two or three eyes to the.





piece, and planted one piece to the hill.

“The field was cultivated four times

and sprayed heavily four times. From

the three acres I harvested seven hun-

dred bushels of well-formed potatoes,

of which only fourteen bushels by

weight were graded as No. 2’s.

‘ “I estimate the cost of producing

these three acres of certified» potatoes

as follows: '

The Monroe County Farm Bureau

elected! as its county executive com-

mittee one representative from each

of the eleven\ farm bureau business

locals in the county. Eadh local had

previously selected its own man and

the naming was a nomination and an

election. The businessman executive

committee then elected oflicers which

it made directly responsible to the

committee. Heretofore, both the ex-

ecutive committee and the officers have

been elected at large and the system



, was said to be defective in that it fail-

ed to bind closely the interests of the

County Farm Bureaus and the, local

associations. ‘



Ofiicers elected by the Monroe Coun-

A CASE TRACTOR QUALITY





Case Kerosene Tractors have demon-

strated remarkable efficiency and economy

in every test in which they have been

entered. The following are a few of many

exceptional records, made in the world’s

most important tractor tests:





Lincoln Tractor Trials, Lincoln, England—1048 Case

Tractor won Gold Medal and 20 pounds in Class I.



Zarazoga, S in—15-27 Case Tractor and Grand Detour

Plow won First ' in Economy.



Egypt—15-27 Case Tractor and Grand Detour

Plow won All First Honors.



France—In six different tests held under the aus ices of

French Agricultural Committees lO-l8and 15-27 Case ractors

with Grand Detour Plows won Highest Awards, Gold Medals

and First Prizes.



Operating economy is important but rugged

durability is even more important. Ruggedness,

the ability to stand up under the severest conditions

and perform the most strenuous work is an essential

quality of every Case Tractor. This quality is

the result of a highly developed design and superi-

or construction and is the reason why every Case

Tractor may be .relied upon to give dependable

and efficient semce year after year.

NOTE -- We want the public to know that our plows and barrow-s are

NOT the Case plows and barrows made by the J. 1. Case Plow Works Co.





‘The Motor. All Case motors are of the heavy

duty, four cylinder, valve-in-head type, built to

use kerosene successfully. Developing power well

above their rating, they are never overtaxed on

their rated loads—another reason for durability.





The Drive. The motor is mounted crosswise on a

rigid frame, permitting the use of a few simple spur

gears—the most efficient and durable type of drive.

All gears and shafts are made of special alloy or

carbon steel. The gears are all machine cut, heat:

treated and run in oil. Anti-friction bearings, held

in permanent alignment by the rigid frame, carry

all shafts and axles.



Protection. All working parts are enclosed in

dust and dirt—proof housings. Gears, bearings and

motor parts are all completely enclosed and thor-

oughly lubricated. A Case patented air washer pro-

longs the life of the motor and adds to its efficiency.





These dependable, durable Case Tractors are made

in three sizes—1048, 15-27 and 22-40, so as to meet

the requirements of any farm.





We also manufacture Grand Detour mouldboard

plows, disk plows and tandem disk barrows in various

sizes for use with Case Tractors. '

The Prado?! of Forty- Y may of Emma





   

   





By "L. W. O‘viatt‘, _





'REFERRING to your issue of De-





cember 23, would state that the



rack which Mr. Crofoot doubtless

had in mind was the large winged rack

we used a number of years ago. Fur-

ther experience with this rack led us

to modify the old type. This oldrack

was a splendid one, but two or three

things led us to change it from the

original form. . ‘



The first of these reasons was that

the old rack required too much lumber

and too much labor to construct. Then

sound, it was so heavy and with the

wide wings was so awkward to han-

dle and needed so much room for stor-

age during the summer months, that

we set about to overcome in part these

objections. _



The rack we now use does not shut

the sheep away while they are being





fed. This change was made because '





we have found it very desirable 'to

drive the sheep out of the pens at feed.

ing time. No matter how careful the

shepherd may be, it is difficult to dis-

cover sheep that are out of condition

unless they are driven about each day.

In driving the sheep from the pens

while the feed is being placed in the

racks gives the shepherd an opportu-

nity to observe whether any members

of the flock are in need of special at-

tention or not.





Our present type of rack is rectangu~





lar in form. The bottom is tight and ~





twenty—four inches in width. It is not

even, but a center board lays on top

of the two outside boards, lapping

about an inch on either side, as shown

in the smaller illustration. The space

on each side of the Center board is

used as a grain trough. It is possible

to fatten lambs on one side‘of a rack-





 

 

 

 





‘\





4$\‘ \‘





 

 





of this type and keep the breeding

ewes on the other side, since the sheep





cannot reach across this central board.





We make the racks any length up to

sixteen feet, according to the room in

which we desire t0'use them.



As shown in the larger illustration,

one end of the rack is left open. This

open end should be placed next to the

feed alley or the feed room so that

the'operator can walk in easily to‘

clean the rack and to distribute the

feed. For all inside feeding, where

there is room and Where it is not de-





sired to use the rack to keep separate





two groups or classes of sheep, theop-

posite end can be left so‘that the sheep-

may pass around it freely.



The lower Sideboards and the three

bottom boards should be of good strong

lumber. Pine is desirable and it should

not be planed smooth], since the full

Let me now tell you how we proceed

of these 2x4’s should be twenty—eight

and one-half inches long. FrOm- the

illustration it will be observed that

these 2x4’s stand edgewise to the rack.

Lay three of these pieces down edge-

wise on a smooth floor with the shoul-

der, or short side up. Take a 1X10—inch

board and lay the best edge of this

board so it will come even with the

square ends of the three pieces. One

piece should be placed at each end and

the other in the middle of the board.

Nail this board firmly to the 2x4’s. Now

take a. six-inch board “B” and lay

across the other end of the pieces one-

half inch below the point of the shoul-

der. This will leave a space twelve





” inches wide between the two boards.





Nail thisvboard firmly. Now construct

the opposite side of the rack in exactly

the same way. '

Turn these two sides over and nail]

the dividing slats “I”, so they will be

If you are intending to purchase one '





Vso‘me time in the near future it is wise

to keep these points fresh 'in mind so

that you may consider them when you

go to look at a farm. After these points

have been applied and the questions

they bring up answered correctly, you

will be’able to decide if it is the farm

you want.



One can easily see- the ar_;:.' Lut of

woodland on a farm; he can see if it

is hilly or stony and one may also ex-

amine the condition of the fences and

buildings, but there are other things

equally or more important ‘which do

not show up so plainly.



One should, of course, examine the

soil when there‘is no snow on it, to

determine the kind of «soil. Through





 





 





the summer months, when the crops

are growing is the best time to inspect

the producing power of the land. See

if the fields have the proper drainage

where drainage is needed;



It is very important that you should

have a good well. The health of your

family depends upon it. Good water is

also needed at the barn for the stock.

Of course, your wife will need a good

cistern at the house, so don’t forget to

look into this when examining the wa-

ter supply.



Good roads and a short distance

from market, church and school are all

valuable assets.



If you have children of school age

you will particularly wish to locate

near a school house. If you do not

happen to have children of school, age,

it will increase the value of the farm

if is convenient to school. In case you

or your children may sometimes wish

to sell, it will sell more readily and at

a higher price, if it is located within

easy walking distance from School.



New improved roads and new drains

are being constantly surveyed and laid

out. If you are not acquainted with

the country in which your prospective

farm is located, a talk with the super-

visor of the township will tell you if

the farm lies within the assessed dis-

trict of any new road or drains. If it

is, an estimate of the taxes to be as-





sessed should be added to the pur-





chase price of the farm.



The superVisor can alsogive you the

assessed valuation of the farm you

have in vew. If you are a newcomer

in the vicinity and do not know the

usual price of land in that locality, this

will help you, as property is usually

assessed at' Somewhere near three-

fourths of its selling value.



If you are a stranger in the neigh-

borhood, try and get acquainted, with

some of the neighbors before you buy.





Not long ago a friend of mine bought ,





a farm. He was not acquainted with

any of the people in the neighborhood.





After he moved on his farm and be- ‘





came acquainted with the'm,.he found

that although they were a thrifty, hard-

working people, they were of‘ a differ-

ent nationality than he. Their cus-

toms, religion and social activities

were entirely different than those of

Mr. Newcomer and his family. They

were strangers in a strange land. In

less than two years he was ready to

,sell and seek a new home.



One more word: When you go to

look at a farm be sure and take your

,. Wife with you. She may discover con-'

veniences or inconveniences about the





house and outbuildings which a man ,





uite apt to Overlook. ——G. M.

Y the time this letter reaches our

B readers we will be thinking about



the arrive-1 of the little pigs. It is

an interesting season with us, and we

find that much of the success of it de-

pends upon the preparation we have

made. Having some twenty. odd sows

to care for and three herd boars be-

sides some fattening hogs and fall pigs,

we have found it somewhat difficult for

a month back, to give the sows the at-

tention we like to.



We have a large basement and barn-

yard where we allow many of the cat-

tle to run loose.

The waste from

the horse stables

is dumped about

over this run, and

this, with the

droppings f r o m

the cattle, furnish

excellent induce-

ment' for the

b r o o d sows to

take the needed

exercise. The gilts

have had the run of this ground for

some time but a few of the older sows

have been confined to closer quarters

than is good for them.

1 E9“ 1' been





during the fore part of her gestation

period, if she could have plenty of ex-

ercise, and a liberal, well balanced ra-

tion the last month before farrowing,





like to see that our breeding animals

get lots of voluntary exercise at all

times, but we lay special emphasis up-

on this last month. You will notice I

said “voluntary” exercise. We read in

our swine papers about taking the

hogs out for a walk of a mile or so

every day. That may be all right if

the cost is no consideration and the

weather is fair, but this time of year

I fear most of us would find some oth-

er place for our time about the second

day. It is the sows that need the ex-

ercise, not the busy farmer, and to me,

contentment is one of the biggest fac-

torsin successful live stock husbandry.

If we can keep the animals contented,

success is assured. So we like to pro-

vide conditions that will make the ani-

mals want to take the exercise, neces-

sary to keep them in perfect health.



Our big light roomy basement with

large yards on the south side is an

ideal winter resort for hogs. It is not

necessary for the sows to huddle to-

gether in their nests to keep warm.

They can drop down for a nap any

place and the prospect of a bit of food

is a signal to be up and after it.



Rations.



So far we have carried the sows

along largely on corn and alfalfa. It

is a mighty good food ration winter

or summer. They relish the nice bright

leafy hay as much as the cattle do. It

provides the protein and mineral ele-

men]; necessary for the building of a

strong bone and body and adds bulk

to the ration. We like to come as near

approaching summer conditions as pos-

sible and to this end we feed some

corn in the bundle, also. During the

last month or six weeks before farrow-

ing, we will add a protein concentrate,

a very little tankage if we can get it,

if not a little oilmeal, and some ground

oats and middlings in a thin slop.



After farrowing the feed is practi-

cally all taken away for a couple of

days, being sure, however, that the

sow has all t water she will drink

and a little alfalfa, if she wants it. We

want to make sure that the sow does

- . Quarters.



Before fart-owing time arrives the



manure spreader is brought out and a





liberal section of this basement clean-





ed to the floor. Here the farrowing

pens are arranged, ten to twelve feet“

square—none too much room for big

sows——-a.nd liberally bedded with wheat

straw. The sows are not confined until

very close to farrowing, and until the

pigs are several days old the bedding

is changed often. We try to not let

them get damp, as a damp bed is about

the worst thing for a yohng pig. At

times it may be necessary to change

the bed as often as twice a day, but as

the big bay overhead holds a whole

wheatfie-ld full of straw and it is only

necessary to shove it down—it is an

easy matter. I like to keep that whole

pen so well bedded that there is a good

nest anywhere for sow and litter, thus

we rarely have pigs overlaid or inclin-

ed to burrow in the bedding. It is close

attention at this particular time that

pays, and pays big.

Handling.



It is a source of considerable satis-

faction to me to have the brood sows

tame. It is also good for the sows. I

like especially to get on good terms

INCOME TAX FACTS.





 





IN making out his income tax return

for 1921, the average taxpayer will

find a considerable saving in compar.

ison with the same amount of tax paid

on the same income for 1920.



The exemptions provided by the rev-

enue act of 1921 are $1,000, for single

persons (the term including widows,

widowers, divorcees, and persons sep~

arated from husband and wife by mu-

tual agreement), $2,500 for married-

persons whose net income was $5,000

or less, and $2,000 for married persons

whose net income was $5,000 or more.

Under the revenue act of 1918 the per-

sonal exemption allowed a married per-

son was $2,000, regardless of the

amount of net income. The personal

exemption allowed a married person

applies also to the head of a family,

man or woman who supports in one

household one or more relatives by

blood, marriage, or adoption.



The exemptions for dependents—a.

person who receives his chief support

from the taxpayer and who is under

eighteen years of age or incapable of

self-support because mentally 'or physi-

cally defective—is increased from $200

to $400.



The act requires that a return be

filed by every single person whose net





income for 1921 was $1,000 or more;_





every married person whose net in-

come was $2,000 or more, and by every

person—single or married—whose

gross income was $5,000 or more.



The requirement to file a return of

gross income of $5,000 or more regard-

less of net income is a new provision.

Net income is gross income less cer-





, tain specified deductions for business





expenses, losses, bad debts, etc, which

are fully explained on the forms.



Returns must be filed by married

couples whose combined net income

for 1921, including that of dependent

minor children, equaled or exceeded

$2,000, or if the combined gross in-

come equaled or exceeded $5,000.



The period for filing returns is from

January 1 to March 15, 1922. Heavy

penalties are provided for failure or

“willful refusal.” to file a return on

time. , ‘



'Forms 1040A for incomes of $5,000

and less and 1040 for incomes in excess

of $5,000 may be obtained from the

offices of collectors of internal revenue

and branch offices. The tax may be

paid in full at the time of filing the re





turn, or in four equal installments, due





on or before March 15, June 15, Sep.

tember 15, and December 15.

may be fed1 with profit. Hay should be

fed from a rack and not thrown upon

will trample it under their feet. Skim«

PUT TREES ON WASTE LAND.





ODERN conditions demand that



all the wastes and leaks be elim-

inated, and this means that all the

land should produce something. It is

not always possible to make every

portion of the farm area yield annual

crops, but in such cases one may wise-

ly and profitably try trees. If one-

twentieth of each farm tract were set

aside for forestry, in time there would

be timber 'to spare.



A great many cliffs and hillsides

along our many riversand streams are

fit for little else, and hill land that is

very stony"may be planted to post-

Black

locust and catalpa are the most profit-

able for posts, the locust being given

the preference on account of its man-

ner of growth being smoother and the

CALYX SPRAY IMPORTANT FOR:

COOLING MOTH CONTROL.





 





R. E. P. FELT, state entomologist, _





said he considered the codllng

moth one of the most important pests

of the orchard. There is no question

but what the greatest protection from

this insect is afforded by the so-called

calyx spray, the'treatment just after

the blossoms have fallen and before

the calyx lobes are closed, and he is "of

the opinion that no subsequent appli~

cation can offset to more than a very

partial extent poor work in this first

spraying.





A NEW SPY.





 





NEW apple exhibited for the first



time was the Red Spy, propagated

at the Geneva Experiment Station by

Professor U. P. Hedrick. It is similar

to the Northern Spy in flavor and other

characteristics, excepting color, which

is a bright red. It is supposed to be a.

sport of the Northern Spy. It equals

in attractive color anything that comes

from the northwest. As the trees are

just coming into bearing its productiv-

ity has not been tested.





NEW YORK FRUIT GROWERS’ co-

OPERATIVE DOINGS.





 





N outline of the operations of the



Western New York Fruit Growers’

Cooperative Packing Association was

given by Nelson R. Peet, manager of

the organization. “During the last few

years,” said Mr. Peet, “there have been

developed thirty-five local cooperative

central packing house associations in

the western New York fruit belt.

These are situated in the territory

along the southern shore of Lake Ont-

ario from the‘ Niagara river to Oswego.

a section one hundred and eighty miles

Twenty-

nine of these associations have feder-

ated into a central association. A lit-





; tle better than a thousand cars of fruit





were packed the past season by these

twenty-nine associations under one

brand.



“The associations are standardizing

the pack. The fruit of the members is

brought to the packing houses just as

it. comes from the trees, and is there

graded, sized and packed by competent

employes and to a standard which is

uniform throughout.



“The associations are endeavoring to

distribute the product. Toooften in





the past large quantities of western

.New York fruit have arrived simultan-





eously on a market, producing a glut

there, which is a loss to everyone and

especially to the growers. Recently

when we had sold 537 cars our sales

department made out a report showing

that this fruit had been distributed in-

to one hundred different carlot con-

suming markets. The-associations are





now handling about one-tenth of the‘





tonnage.” It is Mr. Peet's opinion that

higher prices will be reached for the

growers when a larger tonnage is hand-

led through the association.





SCALE CONTROL BY DUSTING.





 





XTENSIVE experiments have been

conducted by Professor Parrott at

the Geneva Experiment Station rela-

tive to the, control of the San Jose

scale by dusting: In these experiments

tribution and adherence. a series 013

tests were made in which the trees

were sprayed with water before apply-

ing the dusting materials. 'By this

method, together with the use of large

amounts of the sulphides, varying from

twenty to thirty pounds per tree, it

was found possible to secure very thor-

ough coating of all surfaces of the

trees. The applications of the dusts

under these conditions caused severe

injuries to the tender unfolding leaves.

The burning from the solution sulphide

was especially severe, nearly every

young leaf being killed. The burning

from the barium sulphide was almost

as extensive. Dry lime sulphur pro<

duced severe scorching, but the dam-

age was much less apparent than with

the other sulphides. Although the

trees were thoroughly coated, large

numbers of living insects were found

developing normally beneath heavy de—

posits even of the sodium sulphur dust.





DUSTING FOR RED BUG.





 





XPERJMENTS during 1921 were



made ‘in two Niagara county or-

chards to ascertain the comparative

eflectiveness of dusting and spraying

in controlling apple red bugs. The op

erations were conducted on a commer<

cial scale, the individual plats contain-

ing forty trees of such varieties as

Greening and Baldwin, which were

twenty years old.





In these experiments it was demon«

strated that effective dusting mixtures

against red bugs require a larger nico-

tine content than. spraying mixtures,

which make the dosage cost for dust‘

ing higher than for spraying. However,

dusting requires less time than spray«

ing and thus effects great economies

in time and labor. At the prevailing

prices for materials dusting is more

expensive than spraying.



Thorough applications of efficient

dusting and spraying mixtures protect-

ed both foliage and fruit from import-

ant injury. As compared with the con-

dition of untreated trees, there was

not only a marked reduction in the per-

centage of affected apples and leaves,

but the injuries as a rule were of less

severe type.





 





STATE FRUIT EXCHANGE CER-

TAIN.





 





ICHIGAN fruit growers are mak-

ing good progress in their organ-

ization of a State Fruit Exchange. On

January 19 about one hundred repre-

sentatives Of fruit marketing organi-

zations, growers, State Farm Bureau

officials and members of the M. A. C.

Markets Department held a second

fruit conference at Benton Harbor

where they discussed the organization

and attacked the problems that are be-

fore them. __

The problems were. declared to be

those of representation or government

for such an exchange, financing and

the study of the risks involved. Com-

mittees were appointed to,investi—rate

thoroughly each of these'phases and a

third committee, consisting of T. W.

Brandford, George Friday, Mr. Pugs-

ley, L. Prator and D. L. Thornton. are

laying the groundwork for a constitu-

tion and by-laws for the proposed fruit

exchange.- i “ '

The second Benton Harbor meeting

was presided over by James. Nicol, tha

president of the State Farm Bureau.





Clark L. Brody,. general‘manager of:





the farm bureau, was





mam... ~,X' - is
‘ . "wefhave used for several years



, i L on our farm and find it very success-



! Vital. It is an arrangement for giving

' f'plants an early start in the spring.



“ " , A small crate, with a tight bottom,

'is made to receive a number of tin

cylinders. For-these‘we removed the

top and» bottom from regular vegetable

~cans. This can be done by placing a

can on the stove on its end until the

heat melts the solder when a slight

blow will knock it oh. . .



‘ These clinders are placed on end in





 





 





the crate and filled with the soil de-

sired. The seeds are planted in them

and the crate with its contents is kept

in the warmth until it is time for the

plants to be reset in the garden soil.



One'side of the crate lifts out of

slots. A flat piece of tin is then slid

under a tin cylinder which is then lift-

ed out and placed in the hole in the

ground that has been prepared for it.

Dirt is then pressed in about the cylin-

der, which is then lifted upward leav-

ing its contents in the soil ready to

begin its out-door growth. We have

tried other schemes, but none were so

efficient as this.-P. C. G.





ON THE USE OF LIME.





TEST was made covering fifteen

years of growing tr-uck 'crops with

manure, at the rate of ten cords to the

acre, and with other fertilizers. The

fertilizer plots yielded good crops for

a few years and then failed. Dr. Hart-

well, of the Rhode Island Experiment

- Station, does not advise any fertilizers

in continuous crop rotation without

green manuring. He said that Rhode

Island was responsible for the use of

lime, and now it ought to be respon-

sible for saying that there is danger

in using to much lime. When you

have used up all the acidity in the soil

you are in for trouble, especially with

such crops as, spinach. If you do not

get any pink'On blue litmus paper, the

soil does not need more lime.





INTERESTING FERTILIZER TESTS

ON VEGETABLES.





 





ESCRIBING research Work at

Kingston, Rhode Island, Director

B. L. Hartwell told of a study of the

effects of one crop' on another. Onions

after beets, turnips and cabbage yield-

ed twelve bushels of onions to the

acre. Onions planted on grass sod

yielded 400 bushels to the acre. The

~land was well fertilized and the soil

slightly acid.

Dr. Hartwell advised the growers





that a oneyear test is no good, unless V





one of a series of years for the pur-

‘ ‘ pose of getting an average. He said





that market gardeners should put on .





_/ enough fertilizer to supply all the

‘ crop’s needs, Fertilizers are 'not a

large part of the trucker’s bill. .Grow-

, ers must know, however, how to use

l , fertilizers intelligently. He has found

‘ that if you plant carrots and turnips

on land where phosphoric- acid is

scarce you will get a. complete carrot

‘crop but turnips will hardly make a

start. ' > p

OR the last score of years the pol-

F lination question has been receiv-



ing much attention by orchardists

in general, many of whom have said

that their trees bloom freely but set

little fruit. There are a number of fac-

tors which may be respbnsible for this

condition, among them being variety

as well as the individual tree charac-

teristic, general vigor of the trees, dis-

eases and weather conditions.



Then again the conditions seem to

be ideal, splendid weather, trees in

normal vigor, plenty of blossoms, but

no fruit. The trouble here may be that

the orchard was not properly blocked,

so as to fertilize through the blossoms.



Even with all the conditions ideal,

as far as above mentioned, should you

have large orchards of single varieties,

yOu may have a very light set to fruit.

The reason here is that your variety

needs crossing with some other variety

before it will set its fruit well.



Some growers have practiced spray-

ing the trees while they are in blos-

som. These spray solutions will injure

the blossoms in many cases and will

kill the pollen grains.



We find, upon close examination,

that we can divide all fruits into two

classes: First, those which are self—

sterileAthat is, those which will not

set fruit with their own pollen; and,

second, those that will mature fruit

with their own pollen. And then, a

variety may be sterile in one part of

the country but fertile in another.





After some careful observations I

suggest a list of apples that blossom

together. A little observation, at the

proper time, would soon prove wheth—

er they were adapted for other distant

localities as well.



The varieties that work good togeth-

er are as follows: For early, Graven—

stein, Oldenburg, Red Astrachan, Yel-

low Transparent, Wealthy, Williams;

late varieties, Arkansas Black, Bald-

win, Ben Davis, Blacx Twig, Gano,

Grimes Golden, Jonathan, McIntosh,

Newton, Northern Spy, Rome Beauty,

Spitzenburg, Wagener, Staymen and

Yellow BellflOWer.



Regardless of whether a variety is

sterile or fertile, we believe that it is

benefited by crossing—that it will pay

to plant more than one variety in a

block. However, one need not make

the mistake of planting a great many

varieties in the same orchard. Some

fruit growers are asking the question,

how does pollination affect the fruit

that is secured? '



Many fruit growers claim that the

color, flavor and general characteris-

tics of the fruit are changed by polli-

nation. But after a more careful ob-

servation we are obliged to conclude



. that such characteristics are not influ.

enced by pollination. The pollen af-

fects the percentage of set, the size of

specimens, and there also seems to be

a close connection between the pres-

ence of seed and the weight of the

fruit. Color is not influenced by pol-

lination. Many changes that take place

can be attributed to pruning-fertiliza-

tion, tillage, and similar orchard man-

agement.



. In choosing the varieties of fruit to

plant, we must bear the pollination

question in mind. First, the varieties

that we plant must bloom at the same

time. Second, if you have but two

varieties, they should both be good

pollen producers. My observation al-

lows- me to give a specific instance.



. The Winesap apple rarely produces



.pollen. Therefore, if you should plant

Rome or Spitzenberg. alone with Wine—



mfthe .chanoes'ane that the cropsof



I'm-two former would be very light,



whereas the Winesap crop might be



, splendid.

the attitude we reach, the closer the.

varieties seem to bloom together. The

listfor early and late blooming varie-

ties given above, will be of assistance

in your plantings. Any variety in the

early list will pollinate any other vari—f

ety in the early list; likewise, any vari-

ety in the late list‘will pollenize any

other variety in .the same list, the

Winesap. however, being perhaps the

single exception. You will find, how-

ever, in many regions that the Graven-

stein, for example, is overlapped by





some late varieties by several days,

which is sufficient for good pollination. '





Service for Fruit Growers





HERE is a great need in North



America for a central organiza-



tion which will combine the forc-

es of existing fruit bodies and which

can act as a clearing-home of all 'in-

formation of interest to fruit growers.

It will take time and much effort to

build up such an organization of suffi-

cient magnitude fully to satisfy this

need and to finance its development

and work.



The American Pomological Society

for over seventy years an influence for

the betterment of the fruit industry,

is now reorganized with a broader pro-

gram and on a business basis, with an

active executive committee, a board of

business managers and a paid secre-

tary with office facilities. This society

has pledged itself to this end.



The services that will be given mem-

bers in 1922 are: '





1. The annual convention, with val-

uable program.



2. The report of the proceedings of

the convention, together with the Pom-

ological Annual containing much ma-

terial indispensable both to commer-

cial and amateur growers.



3. A quarterly bulletin containing

other matter of concern to the society

and of permanent value.



4. Letters at frequent intervals

which will embody information of cur-

rent interest.



5. Reports on the size, condition and

character of fruit crops gathered and

disseminated.



6. A campaign for greater fruit con-

sumption, carried on through all avail-

able organizations.



7. Efforts lent to the stimulation of

export trade.



8. Affiliation with and service to

state, provincial and local horticultural

societies.



9. Cooperation with fruit growers’

marketing associations. I





10. Encouragement of better grading





and packing.



11. Encouragement of the breeding

of new fruits and the thorough testing

and dissemination of valuable kinds.



12. Awarding of prizes for meritori-

ous fruits, worthy inventions and for

notable contributions to the science

and practice of pomology.



13. Making public the best informa-

tion on the new means and methods of

fruit growing. ‘



14. Condensed reviews of new books

and bulletins.





15. Establishment of branches in-the





colleges of agriculture.

16. Registration of new fruits with

accurate descriptions. - ‘

17. Legislation encouraged and fos-

tered for the extnesion and safe-gunni-

ing of the fruit interests. .. ,

— “You did not realize before, that the

»man on the train meant to murder

_ you?” Santoine demanded.

' “No,” said Eaton. ‘ /



“I see you understand it now; and

that it was the same man—or some



‘ one accompanying the mam—who tried

to run you down this morning. Who

is that man?”



“I don’t know,” Eaton answered.



“You mean you prefer to shield



' him?"



“Shield him?”



“That is what you are doing, is it

not? For, even if you don’t knowthe



1 man directly, you know in whose cause

and under whose direction he murder-

ed Wardenwand why and for whom he

is attempting to murder you.”



Eaton remained silent.



In his intensity, Santoine had lifted

himself from his pillows. “Who is that

man?" he challenged. “And what is

that connection between you and me

which, when the attack found and dis-

abled me instead of you, told him that

——in spite of his mistake—his result

had been accomplished? told him that,

if I was dying, a repetition of the at-

tack against you was unnecessary?”



Eaton knew that he had grown very

pale; Harriet must be aware of the

effect Santoine’s words had on him,

but he did not dare look at her now

to see how much she was comprehend

ing. All his attention was needed to

defend himself against Santoine.



“‘I don’t understand.” He fought to

compose himself.



“It is perfectly plain,” Santoine said

patiently. “It was believed at first that

I had been fatally hurt; it was even

reported at one time—I understand—

that I was dead; only intimate friends

have been informed of my actual con-

dition. Yesterday, for the first time,

the newspapers announced the certain.

tylof my recovery; and today an at-

tack is made on you.”



“There has been no Opportunity for

an attack on me before, if this was an

attack. On the train I was locked up

under charge of the conductor.”



"‘You have been off the train nearly

a week.”



“But I have been kept here in your

house.” ,



“You have been allowed

about the grounds.”



“But I’ve been watched all the time:

no one could have attacked me with-

out being seen by your guards.”



“They did not hesitate to attack you

in sight of my daughter."



“But—”



“You are merely challenging my de-

ductions! Will you reply to my ques-

tions?-—tell me the connection between

us ?—who are you?”



“No.”

He felt the blind man’s sensitive fin-

gers searching his features, his head,

his throat. Eaton gazed at Santoine’s

face while the fingers were examining

him; he could see that Santoine was

merely finding confirmation of an im-

pression already gained from what had

been told him about Eaton. Santoine

showed nothing more than this con-

firmation; certainly he did not recog-

nize Eaton. More than this, Eaton

could not tell.



“Now your

Eaton extended one hand and then

the other; the blind man felt over

fingers; then he let himself sink back

against the pillows, absorbed in deep

~thought.



Eaton straightened and looked to

Harriet where she was standing at the

foot of the bed; she, however, was in-

tently watching her father and didnot

look Eaton’s way. .



“You may go,” Santoine said at last.



“Go?” Eaton asked.



“You may leave the room. Blatch-

ing Santoine and trying fruitlessly to

make out what was passing in the

blind man’s mind. He was distinctly

frightened by the revelation he just

had had of Santoine’s clear, implacable

reasoning regarding him; for none of

the blind man’s deductions about him

had been wrong—all had been the ex-

act, though incomplete, truth. It was

clear to him» that Santoine was close——~

much closer even than Santoine him-

self yet appreciated—to knowing Ea-

ton’s identity; it was even probable

that one single additional fact—the dis-

covery, for instance, that. Miss Davis

was the source of the second telegram]

received by Eaton on the train——would

reveal everything to Santoine. And

Eaton was not certain that Santoine,

even without any new information,

would not reach the truth unaided at

any moment. So Eaton knew that he

himself must act before this happened.

But so long as the safe in Santoine’s

study was kept lockedor was left open

only while some one was in the room

with it, he could not act until he had

received help from outside; and he had

not yet received that help; he could

not hurry it or even tell how soon it

was likely to come. He had seen Miss

Davis several times as she passed

through the halls going or coming for

her work with Avery; but'Blatchford

had always been with him, and he had

been unable to speak with her or to

receive any signal from her.



As his mind reviewed, almost instan-





taneously, these considerations, he

glanced again at Harriet; her eyes,

this time, met his, but she looked away

immediately. He could not tell what

effect. Santoine’s revelations had had

on her, except that she seemed to be

in complete accord with her father.

As he went toward the door, she made

no move to accompany him. He went

out without speaking and closed the

inner and the outer doors behind him;

then he went down to Blatchford.

For severalrminutes after Eaton had

left the room, Santoine thought. in

silence. Harriet stayed motionless,

watching him; the extent to which he





had been shaken and disturbed by the- ' ‘





series of events which had started with

Warden’s murder, came home strongly

to her now that she saw him alone

and now that his talk with Eaton had

‘shown partly what was passing in his

mind.



“Where are you Harriet?” he asked

at last.



She knew it was not necessary to

answer him, but merely to. move so

that he could tell her position; she

moved slightly, and his sightless eyes

shifted at once to where she stood.



“How did he act?” Santoine asked.



She reviewed swiftly the conversa-

tion, supplementing his blind appercep-

tions of Eaton’s manner with-what she

herself had seen.



“What have been your impressions

of Eaton’s previous social condition,

daughter?” he asked.



She hesitated; she, knew that her

father would not permit the vague gen-

erality that Eaton was “a gentleman."

“Exactly what do you mean father?”



“I don’t mean, certainly, to ask

whether he knows which fork to use

at table or enough to keep his napkin

on his knee; but you have talked with

him, been with him—both on the train

and here: have you been able to de-

termine what sort of people he has

been accustomed to mix with? Have

his friends been business men? Pro-

fessional men? Society people?”



The deep and unconcealed note or

trouble in her father’s voice startled

her, in her familiarity with every tone

and every expression. She answered

his question: “I don’t know, Father."



“I want you to find out.”



“In what way?”



“You must find a way. I shall tell

Avery to help.” He thought for sev-

eral moments, while she stood waiting.

“We must have that motor and the

men in it traced, of course. Harriet,

there are certain matters—correspond-

encemwhich Avery has been looking

after for me; do you know what cor-

respondence I mean?”



“Yes, Father.”



“I would rather not have Avery both-

ered with it just now; Iwant him to

give his whole attention to this pres-

ent inquiry. You yourself will assume

charge of the correspondence of which -

I speak, daughter.”



“Yes, Father. Do you want anything

else now?” ,



"Not of you; send Avery to me.”



She moved toward the door which

led to the circular stair. Her father,

she knew, seldom spoke all that was in

his mind to any one, even to herself;

Blind and obliged to rely

on others always in respect of sight,

and now still more obliged to rely upon

them because he was confined helpless

to his bed, Santoine had felt ever since

the attack on him some unknown men-

hidden agency. threatening him and

through him, the men who trusted him.

So, with instinctive caution, she saw

now, he, had been withdrawing more

and more his reliance upon those less

closely bound to him—even Avery——

and depending more and more on the

one he felt he could implicitly trust—

herself. As realizationof this came

to her, she was stirred deeply by the

impulse to rush back and throw herself

down beside him and assure him of

her love and fealty; but seeing him

again in deep thought, she controlled

herself and went out.





CHAPTER XV.

Donald Avery is Moody.



ARRIET went down the stair in-

H to the study; ‘she passed through

the study into the main part of

the house and found Donald and sent

him to her father; then she returned

to the study. She closed and fastened

the doors, and after glancing about the

room, she removed the books in front

of the wall-safe to the right of the

door, slid back the movable panel, op-

ened the safe and took out a bundle of

correspondence. She closed safe and

panel and put back the books; and car-

rying the correspondence to her fath-



er’s desk, she began to look over it.

This correspondence—a considerable





bundle of letters held together with





wire clips and the two envelopes

bound with tape which she had put

into the safe the day before—made up

the papers of which her father had

spoken to her. These lett_ers repre-

sented the contentions of willful, pow-

erful and sometimes ruthless and vio-

lent men. Ruin pf one man by another

—ruin., social or moral, or all three

together—was the intention of the

principals concerned in this corres-

pondence; too often, she knew, one

man or one group had carried out a

fierce intent upon another; and some-

times, she was aware, these bitter

feuds had carried certain of her fath-

er’s clients further even than personal

or family ruin; fraud, violence and——

twice now—even murder were repre-

sented by this correspondence; for the

papers relating to the Warden and

Latron murders were here.

were in this connection the documents

concerning the Warden and the Latron

properties which her father had

brought back with him from the coast;





.there were letters, now more than five '





years old, which concerned the govern-

ment’s prosecution of Latron; and,

lastly, there were the two envelopes





which had just been sent to her father »





concerning the present organization of

the Latron properties.



She glanced through these and the

others with them. She had felt always

the horror of this violent and ruthless

si e of the men with ‘VVhom her father

Four Things to Look For When

You Buy a. Tractor





The four vitally important items shown above are absolutely essential to

cheap farm power. Not one or two or three, but all four. Farmers have

been demanding them for years. OilPull is “the cheapest farm power,”

because it has all four. They are the points you must demand in your

tractor to be sure of profitable service.





Triple Heat Control the Important Factor





The outstanding reason for the great suc-

cess of OilPull Tractors is that the 01le1,

in every-part and in every function, is a

perfected kerosene-burning tractor.





In designing the Ohm“ some revolu-

tionary things had to be developed.



Among them is TRIPLE HEAT CON-



TROL, now a part of all OilPulls. Triple

Heat Control 18 the only system that keeps

the temperatures of the motor at the exact

right point for greatest efficiency on least

fuel—at all times. It is the only system

by means of which the MOTOR GROWS

COOLER AS THE LOAD GROWS

HEAVIER. Overheating is unknown.



Freezing is impossible.



Triple Heat Control positively solves the





problem of getting the power out of cheap

kerosene. It makes possible an unquali-

fied written guarantee to burn kerosene

successfully at all loads and under all eon-

ditions, up to its rated brake horse power.





* 1k *





There is an OilPull for every size farm and

every kind of work. Our catalog describes

them all. 'It also explains in detail the

operation of Triple Heat Control and the

reason the OilPull is “the cheapest farm

power.’



The local Advance- Rumely dealer will

gladly demonstrate the OilPull. In the

meantime, we invite you to write for a

copy of the catalog and other literature.

er, writes: “I read your sermons

every week, .but perhaps like

some other girls of my age (twenty-

two), I have some d01fbts about relig-

ion, which I am too sensitive to ask any

of our ministers about. May I ask

you? When I went to high school my

professor said We were descendants

from animals and therefore We were

animals. Now could you please tell me

how we could be like Christ if we

were animals, for he is surely not an

animal.”





The high-school teacher probably

meant that we are animals on the phy-

sical side, which would be true. Man’s

body "is similar to that of the higher

animals. On the other hand, man is

not an animal, man is a soul, a spirit

I never saw you, you never saw me.



» What we see is

the body which is

the house the spir-

it lives in. Gene-

sis says that God

made man in His

own image (1:26),

which, of course,

does not mean the

physical, as God

has no body, but

is a Spirit (John

4:24). It must re-



. fer to Man’s spir-

itual nature, the capabilitiy of thinking

God’s thoughts after Him, and of hav-

ing spiritual attributes of love, loyalty

to principle, hope, faith and the like.

On the spirit nature of man is built the

hope of immortality, as the spirit only

survives death. .

\





OW do we know the Bible is true?

Why couldn’t_ it be a made-up re-

ligion like the various other religions?

How do- we know that Christ came

down to earth? It’s such a long time





made it up just as some people believe

in images.” _



We know the ‘Bible is true for sev-

eral reasons. First, no one has been

able to write another book like it. Take

the four-gospels. False or apochryphal

gospels were written about the time

the four gospels .were, but they never

gained a wide influence. Early in the

second and third centuries we find

teachers quoting from the four gos-

pels, but not the others. The false gos-

pels simply did not have the power in

them, that the real gospels had. Some

day, try an experiment. Sit down and

write a description of Christ, and see

if it sounds as genuine as the descrip-

tions of Him found in the gospels. Next

the Bible shows itself to be of some-

thing more than human origin, by its

effects on those who follow its teach-





the whole proposition of whether the

Scriptures are inspired, on the book

of Psalms. Such a book as “The Psalms

of Human Life,” shows the mighty

power of simply one book in the lives

of men and women. Further, what

werethought to be errors in the Bible

have been ascertained by modern ex—

cavations in Palestine and elsewhere

not to have been errors. Ancient clay





very interesting tale, corroborating

some of the disputed points.about the

Bible It must be remembered that the

Bible is not a book but a whole library,

covering several hundred years in its

composition. Another point is, that the

Bible is not all on one level, one “part

It is a pro-

gressive revelation of truth, rising

higher as you go on, until it reaches, its

height in Christ, the perfect God-Man.

Our Wéeély Sermon—By N A Msze





HY is it in the Bible that God



seems to condemn women so

much, but-'praidses the men?! Do you

think men stand a better chance to go

to heaven than men ?”



I hardly see how any one gets the

idea that men are the favorites .in

Scripture. In the Old Testament wom-

en have a large place, especially when

you consider that in many nations at

that time woman was a slave, or little

better. Deborah leads an army to bat--

tle and victory, something few modern

women have done. Miriam’s name and

fame are evident in the Exodus. The

story of Hannah and her son is im-

mortal. Rebecca figures prominently

in the story of the patriarchs, and her

deception is left to the reader to con-

demn. The book of Ruth is entirely

given over to the story of woman’s

loyalty. The Song of Solomon is the

tale of a woman’s love. Hosea‘ records

the heart-break of a man over an .un-

faithful wife, while Athaliah and Jeze-

bel are forever infamous. In the New

Testament, Paul mentions at least sev-

en women by name or refers to them

in Romans 16, as among his best

friends, and Priscilla is a woman of

great influence in the early church.

Women of' wealth are supporters of

Christ and His disciples (Luke 8:3).

Women are among the most prominent

and active persons in the accounts of

the resurrection.





N the Bible I understand it to say

when a person dies he doesn’t go to

heaven, but lies in the grave in a.

trance like sleep. Am I iight?” The

doctrine of the intermediate state has

not been emphasized of late, as many

believe it should be. No, there is no

teaching of our Lo1d to the effect that

the dead are in a trance like sleep. It

is not an unconscious state, if we un-

derstand it aright. The intermediate

state is one where Christ is, as he in-

dicated in his remark to the thief on

the cross. Paul said he would like to

depart and be with Chlist. If the soul

of the believer does not enter heaven

at once, it goes to be with its Lord,

and that is heaven enough. Many do

not accept the teaching of an interme-

diate state at all, but believe the de-

parted believer goes at once to heaven.

“How do we know that we will live

again any more than the animals

around us will?” We do not know

that we will, from absolute evidence.

That is, no one has ever come back

from the unseen world to tell us. But

we have every reason to believe that

we will. If‘we believe the resurrction

of Christ, belief in the immortality of

the soul is easy. If we do not believe

the resurrection of Christ, we can hard-

ly be Christians at all. 011 that fact,

the whole thing rests. He said that he

was preparing a place for us, etc, and

the early Christians all believed abso-

Olutely in the resurrection from the

dead. That is What they preached, and

that is What they were persecuted for,

I COrinthians 15, Acts 23:6,8 and 24:21.

There are other reasons for believing

in the deathlessness of the soul. There

are a great many unjust conditions in

life. There is injustice that We seem

unable to correct. People are not born

equal in ability or in opportunity. Will

these things not be corrected some

day? Will a just God permit injustice

to go on without a balancing of ac-

counts? “But Abraham said unto him,

Son, remember that thou in thy life-

time receivedst thy, good thingsfiand

likewise Lazarus evil things: but now

he is comforted, and than are torment-

ed.” In conclusion, it may be said that

For when she had believed that some

one had meant to murder her father,

as Mr. Warden had been murde1 ed the

deed had come within the class of

crimes comprehensible to her. She

was accustomed to recognize that, at

certain times and under special cir-

cumstances, her father might be an ob-

stable to some one who would become

desperate enough to attack; but she

had supposed that, if such an attack

were delivered, it must be made by at

man roused to hate his victim, and the

deed would be palliate‘d, as far as such

a crime could be, by an overwhelming

impulse of terror or antipathy at the,

moment of striking the blow. But she!

had never contemplated a condition in!

which a man might murder——or at-

tempt to murder—without hat-e of his

victim. Yet now her father had made

it clear that this was such a case. Some

one on that train in Montanaflacting

this stranger, Eaton, an obstacle, in his

way. And merely as removing an ob-

stacle, that man had tried to murder

Eaton. And when, instead, he had in-

ly, he had been satisfied so that his‘

animus against Eaton had lapsed until

the injured man began to recover; and 1

L2 Q





The Child and His Fear offDeath ;





By Louise flna’emm Maca’ond/a'





' HY should we be afraid ?” asked

Charles Frohman on the sinking

Lusitania, as he helped a tremb-





ling actress to her place in. the life-'





boat. “Death is the greatest adven-

ture of life.”



It is this great adventure of life

that puzzles us from the time of our

first acquaintance with it until the

hour that we meet it. Those of us

who are mothers must face this mys-

tery not for ourselves alone, but for the

little ones under our care; though not

one of us understands the phenomenon.





Children are often obsessed by the

fear of death. There is nothing strange

about this. The instinct for self-pres-

ervation is strong in us all. However

weary we may be of life, however

much we might intellectually desire

the end of the earthly day, if a bandit

entered the room with his gun pointing

toward us, we should feel one moment

of fear, one flinch. that is purely physi-

cal. And it is well indeed that the in-

stinct for life is so strong. Were it

otherwise, who of us would grow to

our fullest maturity? For to each of

us there come moments of almost un—

bearable anguish, of such agonizing

disappointments, that nothing but the

strong instinct to live could restrain

us from severingthe thread of life. In

children that instinct seems doubly

strong. That again is natural. They

have not the experience which teaches

them real from imagined danger; they

have not lived long enough to learn the

self-control which helps us to conceal

physical fears; they do not look with

comfort to the life to come, for they

would prefer the continued life of the

earth to the changed, unknown condi—

tions of spiritual existence.



With all his dread of death, the very

little child who has been told of im-

mortality, will not question the possi-

bility of the eternal life, because great

is his faith in his parents’ knowledge.





:Yet he will be mystified, as are we all,

‘and will fancy, of course, that hands





like our hands will come with the res—

urrection, and that faces like our own

Will be ours after death. All in all, are

We not each of us very like these chil—

dren; for who can conceive of a dis-

embodied spirit? Even St. Paul could

not, when he spoke of us as clothed

with immortality. We are foolish then

to try to fame the child’s mind to grasp

that which our own cannot. Why. not

let the child fancy the new life in

terms of this life? As his mind grows,

his concepts will mature. ,



Very little children, to be sure, will

accept without question our faith in

immortality.

ers dream, sometimes, arises the ques-

tion: “How do we know that the soul'

lives on?” Often we have tried to

make this plain to children by a study

of the plant life of the world, by com-

parisons to the seed that falls and is

buried, and comes up a living organ-

ism. That analogy may satisfy the

troubled mind for a time. But it may

later see a false analogy. For is not

the mystery of the seed'more like our





. mystery ‘of child $95,931.?“ than like





the miracle r we and den ,3"





Yet earlier than moth-.





tain so much, sugar and





again? This explanation may answer

‘for a few years, but the older child,

whose faith requires more than mere

analogy, will demand a new proof for

his hope of immortality. And we may

find it for him in the theory once ad-

vanced by a bishop who found himself

obliged to argue his faith with a scien-

tist. The bishop was wise in his argu-

ments, for he based his proofs not up-

on the Holy Scriptures, in which the

scientist did not believe, but on the

principles of psychological reactions.

The human mind, it has been found,

\desires life after death, which we call

immortality. But the mind has never

yet desired that which did not exist in

whole or in part. No man would ask

for gold, if gold were unknown. No

one would long for courage if courage

did not lodge in some men's hearts.

Man could not think to desire that

which does not exist. It follows, there-

fore, as the bishop said, that we could

not think to desire immortality, .were

immortality non—existant. In this proof

there is comfort and assurance for us

all, young and old; for those who be-

lieve in the HebreW'revelations, and

for those whose faith can be. satisfied

by science alone.



After the proof for immortality has

been established, the child’s mind may

still be worried by the thought of the

time taken for the transition from this





worldto the other. If modern psychic

research still seems-too experimental

to be urged as conclusive evidence of.

immediate tranSition, turn with the

child again to science. The great prin-

ciple upon which physical science rests

is this: “Energy is nowhere lost.”

Then why not tell the child frankly

that the old school of philosophers has

long argued that the,soul lay asleep

until the earth should pass away, and

the day of universal resurrection

should come. But tell him,'too,' that

the newer school of philosophers be-

lieve that the soul never sleeps in the

grave, that it passes at once from the

corporeal body into the spiritual life,

and in the transition loses no con-





sciousness. A long sleep in the grave,»





or complete annihilation, would mean

a loss of energy. The soul, therefore,

argue the scientists of the newer day,

must pass at once to its new environ-

ment.



To many, the Bible is the great and

final source of faith. But a little proof

from the scientific world helps the

child through the years “when he must





naturally’fib’ubt the truth of the things





he most desires. Let not a child be

troubled becausehe is in doubt. Every





normal mind has had its days of ques- .





tioning. No intelligenCe and no faith

evergrew strong without the troubling

comradeship of doubt.





 





,The Artificially Fed Infant





By fl/ta Litre/l





ROBABLY the mostsanxious per.-

son on the face of the earth is the

mother who can not feed her baby





naturally, and who is wise enough to,





understand the difficulties of artificial

feeding, but not well enough informed

to understand the principles. Nothing

is quite so harrowing to nerves as to

have a baby crying for food, and not

to know just the proper food to give.



If they were only all alike it would

so simplify matters. But personal

idiosyncrasies crop up here as no place

else, and what is one baby’s meat is

another baby’s poison. For ithat rea—

‘son, only general principles can be giv-

en in an article of this sort, and the

mother who has unusual difficulty

should consult a good baby specialist.



'Most infants can take cows’ milk

modified in‘some way. A few cannot,

and some of the patented baby foods

or' condensed milk must be used in—

stead for a few months. . The unmodi-

fied milk is not fed to balbiesbecause

it ‘is not exactly like mother’s‘.milk,

andthe deficiencies mustébe made. up.

Cow’s milk, for instance, does not con-

and egg yolk to make up for the de-

ficiency in iron.



For the first day the infant should

be given nothing but a little boiled





water; many physicians do not give'





food until the third day. Beginning on

the second or third day three ounces

of milk, seven ounces of boiled water





and two teaspoons, level, of milk sugy

ar, should be prepared and divided into.





seven feedings. If the milk is from

your own cows and you know it is pure

and clean it may be given raw. If it

is bought it is better to pasteurize it.

This will destroy most of theinjurious

bacteria and still preserve the natural

taste. To pasteurize, the milk shOuld





be raised to a temperature of 155 de- .





grees and kept there for from twenty

to thirty minutes. If you have no ther-

the child is able to, stand such long

intervals between feedings. Some in-

fants thrive on a schedule with feed-

ings four hours apart, others need a

smaller feeding given oftener. Your

own judgment must decide this.



After the fourth month the amount

of water should be reduced while the

amount of milk is increased. A good

plan is to add a half ounce of milk

every five or six days, and leave out

a half ounce of water every two weeks.



If there is trouble with the bowels

barley water or oatmeal water or rice

water may be added instead of plain

water. If there is a tendency to loose-

ness rice water would be better. _ Oat-

meal water should overcome constipa-

tion. One or two tablespoons of or-

ange juice, or lacking that, canned or

raw tomato juice, may be given after

the sixth month. This helps correct a

tendency to scurvy. The amount of

milk sugar should be reduced after the

siXth month.



After the ninth month coddled egg——

egg broken in boiling water and allow-

ed to stand five minutes—may be giv-

en. Crackers or hard toasted bread

may also be fed. Chewing on this is

claimed by some authorities to assist

in dentition. At this time the baby

should be receiving thirty ounces of

milk and eight of water and three ta-

blespoons of milk sugar.



After the ninth month increase the

milk an ounce per month and decrease

the sugar an ounce per month. One

cup of cereal water should be added to

the milk and sugar.



All food changes should be made

gradually. If after making any change

the baby’s digestion is upset, return to

the formula on which he was comfort-

able and postpone the change for a

few days.



Always remember that all formulas

are general. They must be adapted to

suit the individual baby.

- ANY people who consider them-

M selves and whom we consider

healthy, are really not, for few

there are who- are not subject to ail-

ments of some sort. Health is not only

freedom from pain, it is unimpairment

of any faculty or function. It is sim-

ply wholeness, and this is your birth-

right. If you have lost 'it, or have nev-

er yet come .in possession of it, still

you may by will-power and-persever-

ance, have it. “If thou wilt thou canst

being.

normal cause for it. You may bei‘fairly

well, usually,” but if you will follow

the instructions which I shall endeavor

to plainly give, with the determination

to have this inestimable asset you may

in a large measure reap the reward of

your endeavor.





Correct position is one of the funda-

mental laws of health. Violate the law

habitually and sooner or later you will

have to pay the penalty. In a care‘lsss,

double-up atiitude of body the internal

organs sag and cannot work properly.

VVhether'standing, walking or sitting,

there is one rule that invariably holds

good, viz, the position of the spinal

column must be such that no one part

infringes or unduly impinges upon any

other part. The human being'is a ma-

chine, the most wanderful part of

which is the spinal column, with its

wonderful spinal cord and thirty-one

pairs of spinal nerves. Therefore one

should be careful that this most vital

and delicate part of the anatomical

structure is not abused by incorrect

positions. ‘



How to Stand.





Seek the center of gravity. Have the

weight of the body over the center of

the feet—just between the ball of the

foot and the heel. The upper portion

of the body should be erect but not

rigid. If you will keep the head prop-

erly raised with an easy poise and the

back arched you will find it easy to

keep the chest up and the whole car-

riage good. You will not have to think

to “throw the shoulders back,” for

with this position they are as they

should be. One thing you should re-

member about the shoulders: Do-not

hold them at all. It gives one a stiff

appearance to be striving to hold the

shoulders back. Let them droop down-

ward naturally_and keep the elbows

as far back as possible without strain-

ed effort. p



Standing in the position described,

you will find this exercise beneficial.

Raise the arms and stretch high above

the head. Slowly bend arms at elbows

and bring them down as if you were

pulling forcibly. Inhale as you raise

them and exhale while you bring them

down. Any time you find your posi-

tion incbrrect go through this exercise

which can be done sitting as well as

standing. To get the best results the

exercises Whichl give should be per-

powder, and pour slowly onto the fat,





stirring for twenty minutes with a long ~

mixture should become tan colored and

have the consistency of mush. Pour

it into a dripping pan lined with news-

piece will do). When firm and white,

MM 3 MWm'a/Baré Btgm: to Rock

By Alta L. Lind!





HERE’ had been one. serious



problem for Milly when she first



moved into her new" home—how»-

to get time to read or study. This was

her first attempt to manage a house

and she had none of the conveniences

to which she had been accustomed——

running water, electricity, a dumb

waiter to bring up food from- the cel-

lar, an oil stove, kitchen. wagon, sink,

and bath. Under these circumstances

keeping house even for two was a far

different matter than. “helping‘moth-

er” in the modernized farm house._ It

took all her waking moments to get

through those first few weeks and,

when occasionally she did get time to

read, she was too tired to do more

than skim over the headlines in the

daily papers, or mark articles in maga-

zines which she hoped to read later.

At the end of two months of married

life she felt as hopelessly out of touch

with the busy world she had once

known as though she were buried on a

South Sea island.



Being a young woman of an active

mind and a healthy desire to keep alive

as long as she ambled about on top of

the earth, she determined that this

should not go on. To quote herself,

“You might as well be dead all over

Ac-

cordingly she instituted a plan which

gave her time for reading. The fact

that her method of systematizing

housekeeping shocked all the good

women of Poplarville, including her

own mother-in-law, bothered her not

at all.



Her system was very simple. It was

merely to leave the work and sit down

immediately after breakfast to read for

at least an hour. Sometimes she took

it all depended upon the

amount of work to be done that day.

The only concession she made to labor

was to clear away the table. Food was

put carefully away, and dishes left un-

til after “study hour.” She. missed the

sink where they might be stacked and





filled with running water, but she got ‘*





around that dlfliculty. When she and

Bob sat down to breakfast, she started

the kettle boiling; then all dishes were

stacked in the big dishpan, hot water

poured over them, anda thick cloth

thrown over so that the steam kept

the food soft on the dishes which the

water did not cover.





On this particular September morn-

ing she sat, therefore, blissfully for-

getful of dishes, beds, bread about to

run over, and tomatoes waiting to be

canned, and pored over a bundle of

blue—prints. ,She had been studying

them off and on for a month, these

prints sent out by the agricultural col-

lege to aid her in building her poultry

houses, unable to decide between the

half-monitor house and the Missouri

type. If she could only talk it‘ Over

with some one, things might clear up;

but she was keeping her plans a secret

until she was ready to act. Not even

Bob knew of her scheme. '





So far as utility was concerned she

could see no point in which one ex-

celled the other; it was a matter of

personal preference. She liked the

style of the Missouri house better, but

it seemed to her that the half-Monitor

type was more like the city man’s idea

of an up-to—date poultry farm, and

might attract more attention and hence

be better as anadvertiser. This point

did not matter so much toher, how-

ever, as she had decided to raise White





Leghorns, not only for the white eggs

which command a higher price than~

brown ones, but because they were.

' small birds, and light eaters, and more

" of in the same,





 





 

 

 





, Mrs._G. ,8.





provide for heavier birds. So-she would



have, to depend upon distant markets



and chance buyers would not count.

The question had finally settled down





to one of money. Which was cheaper?

With pencil and paper and quotations

from lumbermen and. carpenters s e '





was now trying to figure out which

hol1se would cost least, and if the sav-

ing would be enough to prove a decid-

ing factor. Absorbed in her occupa-

tion, she heard nothing of what was

going on around her until the screen

slammed and Bob stood before her.



It was too provoking! Now every-

thing was spoiled; she would have to

tell.



“Starting an architect’ s office?” Bob

asked genially.



“Oh. what did you come in for?”

Milly cried. “I didn’t want you to

know until I had everything planned.”



“What the‘ heck?” Bob had come

around behind her and was studying

the blue prints.



“I’m just trying to figure out what

kind of a colony house to build.”



“Colony house?” Bob asked. “When

do you expect to start building?”





“Just as soon as I can decide on the

style of house and order the lumber.”

Milly chewed her pencil and studied

her figures, quite oblivious to Bob’s

slowly changing face. That he might

feel hurt at her planning such a ven-

ture without consulting him had never

occurred to her, far less the idea that

he had a right to expect her to talk

over any business matters with him

before starting them. “What do you

think about it?” she asked finally.

“Now you’ve found out before I was

ready to tell you, you might as well

give me a little advice.”



“Makes no difference to me what you

build,” Bob answered stifflyr “You’ve

got along so far without asking my

opinion, go ahead and build to suit

yourself.” The slamming of the screen





emphasized his reply, as he went back '





to work, quite forgetting the Whetstone

for which he had come.



Milly stared at the door in amaze-

ment. He was actually mad! If men

Weren’t. the queerest things; you nev-

er knew which way they were going to

jump. Here she was trying her hard-

est to help him along financially, and

this was the thanks she got. If Milly

had been a story book heroine, she

would have burst into tears at this

'first symptom of a disagreement be

tween herself and Bob. But being sim-

ply a healthy young woman with a

fair share of temper she got mad too.





Deep down in her honest heart she

knew Bob was right. She should have

consulted him. She would most cer-

tainly expect him to ask her opinion

before he spent five or six hundred

dollars, even if he had earned it before

they were-married. And equal rights,

on which she insisted, certainly would

demand that she give him the same

consideration she claimed for herself.

But she had no intention of admitting

to him that she thought herself in the

wrong—at least not till he came down

to earth and admitted he’d acted like

a brute.

Uncle Sam Versus the Bad—Man





H dear, goodness gracious me! I ,





wish I had wooden legs, den dey

never would get cold.”

Ten-year-old Sambo, the child of our

colored eook, had been engaged for

about fifteen minutes piling logs of

firewood on the back porch. It was a.

raw day in December, not snowy, but





a. genuine southern winter day‘, with,





occasional sleet falling.



Sam seated- himself on the bottom

step of the back stairs, nursing his cold

toes, and went on in a louder, angrier

tone:



“My footes is so cold, and Ma is so

mean. I’ s tired of toting dis here

wood, and 1’s hongry, too—cold hon-

gry.n



“Haven’t you any shoes, Sam?” I

asked, pausing an .instant on my way

to the chicken yard to look after the

comfort of the fowls.



“Shoes, Miss Jane?” questioned the

boy, his round face brightening up,

“Yes, ma’am, I’s got shoes,_but I keeps

dem for Sunday, go to meeting,”





“See here, Sambo,” I'smiled, “you

I finished my dish washing, swept up

the kitchen and sat. down to sew, list-

ening to the slow, dreamy tune. Pres-

ently-it changed to a lively one.

See Master Lord Jesus come riding by



Wid de rainbow on his shoulder.”





In shocked haste I raised the win-

dow and called out, ' -



“Sambo, you must not take tie

Lord’s name in vain that way!”



“Ma’am?” questioned the wide-eyed

boy. “Dat’s what de hymn say—I done

toted .all de wood, Miss Jane.”



“Oh, yes, and here’s your nickel.”



Something boiled over on the stove

at this moment, so I hurried away, but

the next instant my ears were stunned

by a human howl. -



“Miss Jane, make Sam lemme alone

and behave hisself. He done took my

piece of cake and eat it all up.”

finish carrying that wood, and I’ll see

if I haven’t got a nickel in my purse

for you.” -



“Yes, ma’am, sure. Say, Miss Jane,

will a nickel buy a book?”



“Perhaps. What kind of a book do

you want?”



“I dunno. I just want a book. I

means to git an edication.”



“I’ll think about it,” I called back

over my shoulder as I walked away

laughing.



Early in the fall, husband had bought

a farm in the cotton belt of Georgia,

where for the first time in our lives

we became acquainted with negro help,

and, having no children or grandchil-

dren, I kept little Sambo and his sister,

Mary, about the house, for the sake of

their youthful company, monkeyfied

though it might be. In fact, some of

their funny ways while performing the

small tasks I set them amused me

greatly.



I fed my chickens and hurried back

to the house', where I found that Sam

had renewed his attack upon the wbod

pile. He seemed to have forgotten all





about the cold weather; he wasmovf





ing briskly and singing'a weird chant.

“Come a reeling and a rocking in den





n,d .

It you ain’t got relegion, you cannot ;

stand .





Sambo’s voice chimed in,

derisively,



“011, Mary Bozy Hoggee,

Hoggee.” ,



I went once more to the open win-

dow.



“Sam, aren’t you ashamed to tease

your sister?”



Tears were streaming down Mary’s

moon- -shaped face. The boy, with his

mouth crammed full, grinned mischiev-





singing





Hoggee,





"ous enjoyment.





“I eats her cake because she’s a ho

hog it



“‘What do you mean by that?”



Sambo put his head on one side and

screwed up his eyes. “Wal, I means

a ole greedy hog, that’s wat—-—-like de

old blue sow.”



“Sam, do you know what you are do-

ing when you make your sister cry?

You are listening to} an old bad man,





who tells you to do wrong—old Satan.”



“Is dat 80, Miss Jane? Would you

please, ma’am, draw me a picture of

de Bad Man? ’Cause I sure wants to

know wat he look like 9”



Smiling to myself, I took up a pencil

and drew a hideous shape, with a hu-

man face, huge wings, sharp claws and

a long pointed tail. I did not fail to

furnish this demon with his- pitchfork.



“Wat he gwyin to do with dat

thing?”



“That’s what he uses to stick the

sinners with and send them back un-

der the lake of fire,” I answered.



“Lordy, is dat what he do,

enough?”



“Isn’t he ugly?” I evadedr “Now,

wouldn’t you like to obey a nice old





sure





man, who will give you 'pretty things,





like Santa Claus?”





“Santy didn’t give me no Christmas

gift dis year, Miss Jane, only jest two

little, measley sticks of candy.”





“Yes, I know. Its hard times now,

and Santa Claus does come mostly to

rich folks’ children. But the old man

I mean doesn’t do that way. Now, he

sent me word that he wanted all the

boys to work for him and he would

give them—the smartest fellows, a.

prize. You shall have a garden and

plant some tomatoes—but my good old

man will have nothing to do With you

if you tease your sister. You will have

no time for such nonsense if you work

for Uncle Sam. By the way, he is

named Sam, too.”





“L01 dy, is dat so? Could you, please

ma’am, draw me his picture, too?”



It was easy for me to copy the famil-

iar figure of Uncle Sam from the news-

paper cuts. The boy’s admiration fol-

lowed every line.





“Is he sure gwyin to give a whole lot

of prizes?” he questioned. “Why, he

look like poor white trash, hisself.”



“Oh, yes,” I said, “he’s rich. He

dresses that way because he wants to.

In our country one man is just as good

as another; and Uncle Sam don’t want

anybody to think him stuck-up, so he

goes round like an old farmer.” .



That was the way I began my oppo-

sition game with Satan, supplying

work, not mischief, for idle hands to

do. _I had read about the clubs for

boys and girls organized by the agri-





. cultural department, and Ldetermined ,





to do my mite towards the national

uplift. When spring arrived, I held

Sambo to his job by drawing for him,

every day, a picture of the Bad Man,

also one of the good old gentleman.

Husband laughed at my scheme and

made fun of my little nigger pets; but

I persisted, and after awhile. Sam’s to-

matoes grew so big that I sent a few

specimens to the county fair. To my

great delight they actually took a prize.





I shall never forget the jay. on that





youngster’s face when I told him that ‘





he had won five dollars.



“Lordy,” he cried as soon as he

could get his breath, “Now I’s gwyin to

buy a pig.” .



“That’s a splendid idea,” I applauded.



The scamp gave me a droll, sidewise

look out of his screwed up eyes.



“And den,” he continued slowly, “I’s

gwyin to name my pig MaryBoHog. ”



“What!” I. exclaimed in a tone of

severe reproof.



“Why, Miss Jane," he grinned, “I got





' to have something to call dat name,





’cause I ain’t never gWyin to call, my

sister dat no more. '

' There. is beauty in the river's flow;





In the harvest’s golden glow;

Beauty in the seed planted in the





spring; ‘

There’s beauty in everything.



HERE is wondrous-beauty every-



where. If we can see and feel



beauty we can find it in every-

thing, and ‘the more we try to see it

the more will our capacity for seeing

it increase. In the winter time field,

forest, house tops, and hedges are

snow covered; out of the bosom of the

air descends the snow, each tiny flake

a perfect mirror reflecting beauty.





The sense of beauty is a messenger

of good cheer to all who have the

daily round ofltasks to perform and

much beauty lies in the task well done.

As winter wanes is there not much

beauty in the little rills of melted snow

that flow through the fields, letting us

know it is coming time when the sap

of‘the sugar maple will respond to the

warmth of spring. Soon the cackle of

the hens and the general awakening

about a farm, the bleating of the young

lambs and calves and the wistful low-

ing of the cows, will be filled with

gratitude for the coming spring.



Beauty always has a practical side.

Anything that adds to our general well

being must be of value to us. Isn’t

the thought of the tiny seed planted in





the earth’s sweet flowing breast a ,most ,





beautiful thing, especially when We

consider that it returns to us .a hun-

dred fold what we trust to it in seed.





It is near-sightedness on our part to

push aside the thought of beauty, and

leave this only to dreamers and to less

busy folks than We are, for we cannot

see beauty in the things about us. We

say we must make our farms pay, and

when we voice our opinions in this way

we should also feel assured we can

reach that goal without losing sight of

thevidealism of that ever lasting joy

and inspiration that comes from trying

to make our efforts successful. Sum

success down, define it as you wish, do

we not feel most successful on the

days that we have put the very best of

ourselves into the thing we tried to

accOmplish? And while we were put-

ting our shoulder to the wheel did we

not see and feel the goodness and the

beauty of life in_general?



To all farmers nature has not only

a voice. of beauty/ but of content that

it is well for us to listen to. It pro-

claims a realm of beauty all about us,

and we can have a continual feast

in seeing the seasons vying with each

other to express the beautiful, making

pictures for us that we can recall at

will and which never fade; becoming

treasures that cannot be.,taken from





us. There is as much beauty in the'





freshlyplowed brown earth in spring

as there is in the ripened field of grain

or other crops if we but see it. One

reason is because at the heels of the

plowman follow the larks, bluebird,

robin, and blackbird picking up grubs

that,’when developed, would destroy

our vegetation. The spring air is vib-

rant with bird notes! What pleasant

company they are and what service

they render us free of any charge.





When we lose our sense of the fit-

ness of things, our sense of proportion

of values and the zest of living, if we

will but listen to the voice of nature

we will find the key to, contentment

and happiness again. There is noth-

ing like going to nature to ‘get the

right point of view.





them as, possible, and our tasks be-

come lighter for we become a willing

instead of a rebellious worker, and we

can perform our tasks in a. masterful

way.



If we cannot see the beauty of our

own fields and woods, we will reap a

harvest as we have sown. The sense

or the love of the beautiful gives us

the impulse to not only beautify our

surroundings but to see the wealth of

beauty all about us. We, on a farm,

need not think of the beauty of distant

places, beauty is right at hand. And

today is the most opportune time to

put forth the effort to find beauty in

everything about us.



The orchard, the garden, woodyard,

truck patch, grain fields, the patch of

woods, the pasture, and in everything

that stretches within sight of us on a

farm, there is beauty if we Will but

discover it.



I had spent the week end at a farm





not very long ago, and when leaving





for home was taken to the station in

the family car. The day had been

balmy and sunshiny even though it

was January. As it was just about

sunset time I looked forward to a very

pleasant ride through the countryside.

The head of the family was intent up-

on the steering wheel and on watching

the road ahead of him. The rest of us

marveled at the beauties of nature,

and the wonderful sunset sky to the

west of us.



“Father,” said the young daughter,

will you please turn your head ever so

little to view this lovely sunset?”



“I’m busy with the machine,” he re-

plied, “Enjoy it yourself.” But the

«laughter urged him for several min-

utes. Finally changing her tactics she

said, “All right, then, father; from now

on Whenever} see or hear anything

lovely I will not share it with you.”



This aroused him enough to turn his

head, to assure himself that he had

heard correctly, and in this way he

caught a glimpse of the glorious winter

sunset, and remarked “that it was very

lovely, and no doubt portended good

weather for the morrow.”



The young lady has since written

that her father is trying to define that

word beauty more and more every day,

and that every day he has spoken of

the fine looks of his implements and

of the crudest things that were about

the farm. The sense of beauty, she

said, had only been sleeping in him,

as is true of many other folks. It needs

a little rousing now and then.



During the time that the writer lived

on a farm the daily motto of the fam-

ily was ‘to have no grouch, not to





but a confirmed optimist, and also to

be a confirmed believer in working

with the day to make it beautiful, to

see the good and ' true in everything

and everybody as well as the beauty all

about us, and especially that of the

little bypaths and out of the way plac-

es and things. And we found it a very

good world to live in, deeming our-

selves very fortunate to begin life on

a farm.



The open eye to see, whata posses-

sion! It all depends upon how we see,

whether life is colorful or dull; and

let us not wait for a day of leisure to

find all the beauty there is near us, for

in the busiest day on a farm, we can

always keep one corner of each eye

open for the beauty to behold.

by producers of poultry many

farmers have been. surprised to find

' that geese as a Sideline have been one

of their best- assets. The goose is a

grass eater. Grass often growson land

of little value for other purposes. Such

land is a great pasture for the geese.

Even on good land farmers have

found that the geese will profitably

harvest most of their living until time

to prepare them for market. They

know that the grass which produces

‘ . the goose meat is cheaper than the

grain necessary to make other poultry

meat. Our friend, the goose, is not in

as much demand as broilers and fat

hens. She does not lay winter eggs.

But the dollars that she does bring to

the breeder are made at a compara-

tively low cost of production.

It.is assumed" that the breeder will.

consider nothing but pure-bred geese.

Grades will produce meat but the pure-

breds look better and the Carcasses

will be more uniform in quality and

type when the birds are marketed. And

the chance of selling hatching eggs

and breeding stock cannot be neglected

Without some loss even if no advertis-

ing is done and the breeding stock, is

only sold occasionally to buyers in the

section. ,





A fine flock of purebred geese on a V





farm is a constant advertisement. They,

stand out in the field like a finely

painted signboard. The motorists that

pass the farm are prospective buyers

and on a good road this traffic is a con-

stantly increasing chance to cash in

on sideline crops. '



Geese do not need as much housing

as other poultry. Even during the se-

vere winter storms they often seem to

enjoy resting on their range headed in-

to the wind. However, it pays to have

an open shed or colony house where

they can stay nights. This should be

dry and on a well-drained site. It

serves as headquarters for feeding the

geese during the winter and can be

locked at night if the geese are in dan-

ger from thieves. ~



Geese may be kept for breeders for

as much as ten years or longer. Most

breeders do not like to keep ganders





emore than three or four years. The





trios of breeding geese should be mat~

ed up several months before the breed-

ing season to insure good results. When

ones mated the trio seem to think

more'hf each other than in the case of

other farm fowls. Successful matings

should not be broken up except when

the birds become old or it is neces-

sary to make sales.





Goslings can be raised by feeding.





tender bits of grass for the first two

days. Then feed a mash four or five

times a day, consisting of two-thirds

middlings and one-third corn meal. Af-





ter the first’ week scalded cracked corn ‘





is good. But the young geese are great

grass eaters and 'a grassy range will

furnish them with abundant food for

growth. Some breeders have raised

goslings successfully by first feeding

dry bread soaked in milk and pressed

out. ‘



A mash consisting of equal parts of

bran, ground oats and corn meal by

weight is a good feed for geese during

the winter and better than whole grain.

The crop of a goose is better suited to

handle green feed and mash than hard

grain. Mangels, clover bhaff, and all

succulent vegetables help in feeding

the geese. They are much like a cow

in their feed requirements.



Sometimes geese are fed too much

corn during the winter and become too

fat for breeding purposes. This results

in many infertile eggs. An occasional

examination of the geese during the

winter will determine their physical

condition and then any necessary

changes in the- ration can be made.

FUTU RE EGG PRlcES.





OULTRYMEN are familiar with the?

sudden drop in the egg market

It happen- i





were high and many breeders wereI

planning on buying hatching eggs andI

day- old chicks or increasing their flocks

from their own stock. Immediately af-;

ter that drép in egg prices the hatch-I

eries repmted cancellations of ordersI

for day old chicks. Many breeders

selling hatching eggs did not report as ‘

large a business as expected. 1





I





The cancellations and slowing up ofI

hatching operations resulted from theI

low egg prices. Breeders began to feel I

that eggs were going the way of otherI

farm products. So they were discour-I

aged and about ready to leave the bus- I

iness. What happened? After theI

chances for early hatching were gone,I

egg prices began to advance and dur-I

ing the last few months many farmersl

have been ready to admit that eggsI

were the only profitable thing on theirI

farms. In the west there are many

farms with heaps of corn they cannot

market and no stock to eat it. Suppose

some of them had a few hundred lay-

ing pullets with eggs at the prices they

have been at least until late December.

They would be less discouraged than

at present and the egg money would-

be very useful.





So next spring eggs may go down in

price. If you expect to improve your

flock or establish a pure-bred flock of

heavy laying hens, do not become dis-

couraged because eggs are low during

April. If a. poultryman cannot be opti-

mistic in the spring he faces a handi-

cap for the year. If thrifty chicks are

not started early in the spring they

cannot reach laying age in the early

fall. There are twelve months in ev-

ery year. So do not_base the success

or failure of your poultry prospects on

the lowest price that is paid for spring

eggs—G.





 





 





POULTRY QU ESTIONS.

How many turkey hens can a tom I

take care of? Is Whole wheat groundI

more economical to feed than to sellI

Wheat and buy bran to feed?

per cent of protein is contained inI

whole wheat flour?——M. s. l





A tom to every four or six hens is.I

the usual plan in mating turkeys.i

Whole Wheat flour contains 13.8 pro-I

teid. In feeding poultry, a balanced}

mash -is necessary for best results in"

egg production. Under ordinary cir-

cumstances it pays to sell whole wheat

and buy bran to mix with the egg mash

which, of course, will contain other in-

gredients. Many poultrymen buy the

commercial mixed mashes and have

good results and find the purchase eco-

nomical.



A great deal of wheat can be fed to

poultry as scratch feed and very few

poultrymen have any surplus of wheat

above their needs for that purpose. It

will be fine for the growing stock next

summer and it will hardly pay to have

any wheat ground which can be used

for scratch grain. Bran contains very

little nourishment and is only useful





keep the digestive system in good or-

der. A farmer with much poultry to

feed can hardly afford to sell the wheat

at present prices and buy other feeds

as the wheat is about as big a bargain

in poultry feed as it is possible to find.





 





 





Farmers of the central west receive

twenty to forty per Gent less for their-

eggs than do the eastern and far-west—

ern producers because their product

lacks the uniformity that the market

demands.

HE time of the year that a cow

freshensseems to have consider-

able to do with the profit she returns.

An analysis of the figures obtained

from many cow-testing associations by





-the United States Department of Agri-





culture shows that in most sections the

cows that freshen in the fall and early

winter produce the most milk and but-

fer-fat and bring in the greatest in-

come over cost of feed. "





STEADY INTEREST IN BETTER

' SIRES.





 





HERE were exactly 5,900 persons



enrolled in the “Better Sires~‘—Bet-

ter Stock” campaign in this country at

the close of the calendar year 1921,

and records of the United States De-

partment of Agriculture show a con

tinued interest in the work which has

extended to all states and several is-

land possessions. During the year the

number of live stock owned by the

persons enrolled increased from about

400,000 to 750,000. The figures include

both male and female stock. All of

the males are pure-bred, and the fe-

males, which may be of varied breed-

ing, are bred in all cases to pure-bred

sires.



It is noteworthy that fifty-six per

cent of all female stock listed in the

better sires campaign. are pure-bred.

This figure is one per cent higher than

a year ago. The effect of the use of

pure-bred sires in reducing the num-

ber of scrub animals on farms is shown

by the small proportion of serubs in

herds and flocks headed by pure-bred

males. The figure at the end of the

calendar year 1920 was 2.1 per cent

and for 1921, 1.9 per cent scrubs in

such herds.





/





A POUND A DAY.





 





HE last report of the Jackson



County Cow-testing Association

shows that the 225 cows belonging to

the members of that organization pro-

duced during the month of December

an average per cow of 29.1 pounds of

fat. Vernon Clough owns the cow giv-

ing the largest total of butter-fat for

the month, the amount being 65.9

pounds. Twenty-seven cows gave more

than forty pounds of fat for the above

period. Milk has been selling in this





sweet cream has brought from fifty-

tw‘o to fifty-five cents.





FEEPING MORE CAREFULLY.





 





HE members of the Antrim County



Cow-testing Association are begin

ning to feed their cows more efficient

rations and this is showing up favor-

ably from month to month in the av-

erage production per herd. During the

month of December one cow owned by

C.fW. Fox, produced 55.2 pounds of

butter-fat while twelve of the 180 cows

owned by the members produced an

average of over forty-pounds of butter-

fat. E. W. Fox is doing the testing

work for this organization. So far as

can be ascertained everyOne is pleased

with the results and are thoroughly

converted to the utility of these asso-

ciations.

department of the Michigan Agricul-

tural College, to Frankfort, where he

addressed 125 farmers on alfalfa grow-

ing, the opening gun in the alfalfa.

campaign in Benzie county 'has been

fired. Professor McCool was ably as-

sisted by Mr. T. A. Farrand, of the

horticultural department, who spoke

on alfalfa growing at a meeting held in

Honor. The Benzie county alfalfa cam-

paign. will take the form of demonstra-

tion acres in each township planted

with seed supplied by the crops depart-

ment of M. A. C., fertilizer supplied by

the soils department of M. A. C., pul-

verized limestone furnished by Wing

& Evans Company, which will be haul-

ed gratis by the Ann Arbor Railroad;

and is to be put on farms owned by

men who will agree to carry on a dem-

onstration for five years or more. Coun-

ty Agent J. L. Kraker is completing ar-

rangements for this work which will

be put on in the spring, and in the

meantime is conducting winter meet-

ings in various parts of the county for

the purpose of stimulating interest in

growing alfalfa. One hundred and fifty

letters h‘ave been sent to various farm-

ers of the county from the farm bu-

reau office asking their willingness to

cooperate with a test acre, and from

this number the farms on which the

demonstrations are to be placed. will

be picked. Alfalfa will be a winner in

Benzie county.





 





BUTTER MARKET STROleER.





 





RECENTLY there was a showing of



strength in the butter trade. Prices

had been dropping to new low levels

from day to day, but a reaction set in

due to two fundamental conditions.

One was that buyers had been operat-

ing onva reduced volume 67? stocks and

when these small stocks were about

depleted, the general demand created

by their re-entering the market gave

the trade a firm undertone. The other

factor was the diminishing supplies

from producing sections. The severe

weather has cut down the output. As

a result; the markets changed from an

almost demoralized condition to a.

strong position within the space of a.

single week. A firmer tone has also

been reported in Danish markets and

imports from that country have been

corresponding y light. How long the





firmer situat on will last is a matter.

licity to. the value of milk for human

consumption? This question is ans-

wered by the results of an extendéd

publicity movement conducted in Can-

ton, Ohio, at city of one hundred thou-

sand persons. Following the work in

the schools among the children, in com;

mercial club 'contests, plays, four-min-

ute talks at theatres, food budget les-





sons, newspaper advertising, etc.. the





amount of milk used by the people of

the city was increased between ten

A RACK FOR FEEDING SHEEP.





 





(Continued from page 116).





I ter. This will enable one to feed twen-





ty-four sheep in a twelve-foot rack.



Now set the two sides up parallel

to each other, with the pointed sides of

the 2x4’s on the outside, and put on

the lowe rend boards exactly even with

the bottom of the posts or 2x4’s. These

should be long. enough to make the bot-

tom of the rack twenty-rour inches In

the clear from side to side. This will

require that the end boards be thirty-

four inches long if they extend to the

outside of the 2x4’s. Now at one end

nail on a 1x6-inch board across the top

on a level with the top Sideboards.

Leave the other end open to gownext

to the alley 0r feed room.



Turn the rack over and let it stand

on the pointed ends of the 2x4’s. Se-

lect two good heavy 1x10-inch boards

“D” and nail very firmly on the bottom

so as to come even with the outside of

This Will

leave,a space about six inches wide

between the two boards along the cen-

ter of the rack.



Again the rack is turned right side

up. Select a strong eight-inch board

and fit it carefully over this six—inch

space and tightly between the two end

boards. When this is done, you have

a flat grain feeding trough on either

side of this center board and also a

tight rack bottom for the feeding of

roughage.



Our next job is to construct wings.

A wide bracket “X” is nailed to the

top of each of the 2x4’s so as to extend

up and out at forty—five degrees to cor-

respond with the'angle at which the

top of each post is cut. These brackets

are shaped to come nearly to a point

at the outer ends. On these brackets

We nail any, light lumber “F” which

may‘ be either matched or closely fitted

to prevent chaff and dirt from working

through on the shoulders of the sheep.

Since these wings extend out over the

sheep, they require no extra room so

far as that occupied by the animals is

concerned. These wings may be any

width, but we find twenty inches is

about right.



A Few Words of Caution. '



Sheep are very notional and will not

eat food well which has been soiled or

fed in a dirty rack. We clean our rack

twice every day. For this purpose, a

common square pointed spade is the

most satisfactory tool.



In placing these racks, put a piece

of board across under the middle and

one about two feet from each end to

support the bottom. Keep the rack

lifted up frequently to prevent the ma-

nure from collecting around the sides.

Where the manure is hauled out fre-

quently, this, of course, is-unnecessary.

But never allow the racks to stand in

the manure after the sheep are turned

out, in the spring. They should» be lift-

ed up where they will dry out thor-

oughly.





This rack-is the result of forty years





of feeding experience andpwev believe





: E that any attempt to. improve it ‘ Will

‘ resultintzfiure. especially ifinrdertak-

,- enbrthe novice.

March and continuing guilt“; “195m





 





By.

[LD weather for winter is work-

Ming to the disadvantage of the

feed market, yet affording a. dis-

tinct saving\to buyers of feedstui'fs.

Bullish price tendencies in the market

for the high protein feeds, bran, shorts,

the coarse grains and other products

have been checked largely on this ac-

count.’ Some declines have occurred

within the past month: the market as

a whole having been unable to Sustain

the upturns previously recorded in the

absence of buying support. although

not general, there has been a quite

remarkable display of “shopping for

the most, the best'and the cheapest,”

an expression which not alone house-

wives but consumers of feedstuffs as

well are correctly using more and

more.



Bran price changes for the next six-

ty days or more are dependent to a.

great extent upon the fluctuations in

the cash and future wheat market.

Ordinarily it is ridiculous to seek light

on the future of the bran trade from

the movements of wheat values. The

situation today, however, is different.

Buyers of flour are watching the wheat

market closely; on the upturns an in-

creasing demand for flour develops;

on the declines in wheat, sales of flour





6





 





 





fall off and difficulty is experienced at

the same time in obtaining shipping

directions on old orders for the bread-

stuffs product.

tion of flour is thus swayed, and the

larger the output of flour, of course,

the greater the supply of bran and

shorts available for the consuming

trade. Thus, if Wheat advances in

price, it is reasonable to expect easier

This is not the only

consideration in the future trend of

the feed, however. The weather is

somewhat of a disturbing influence,

with many interior mills, usually able

to sell their entire output of bran in

their own community now being forced

to turn to markets for an outlet. Ree

cent declines in some dairy products

also have not been favorable to en-

larged consumption of bran. A



Bran can be bought out of the south-





west on the basis of about $20 a ton-





in Kansas City, with the soft winter

wheat territory quoting on the St.

Louis market around $23 to $24 a ton

and up to $25 in Chicago. Northwest-

ern mills are asking about $21 a ton

for bran, basis Minneapolis. The mar-

ket as a whole shows a setback of

about $1.00 to $1.50 a ton from the

high point reached in December. For

deferred shipment, bran can be bought

at a discount of fully a dollar a ton

under the spot market.





Not in many months have shorts

sold at so nearly a parity with bran,

being hardly more than a dollar a ton

premium at many markets. How long

this condition will prevail, of course,

is problematical, but it is safe to fore-

cast that such a condition will not long

continue. The usual spread between

bran and gray shorts or flour mid-

dlings is fully $4.00 to $5.00 a ton, and

during some seasons as much as $10.

For example, less than ninety days

ago, at the time bran was selling down

to $10 a ton on. some markets, gray





. shorts were bringing more than $20 at





the same terminal and at otherpoints

commanding a premium of $12 a ton.

The season ‘of large "consumption of

shorts will soon be approaching, com-





ing about the time of the spring far?





rowing period for pigs, about early: in





rinzpart- of





Sabre»; So:





,‘strength becomes apparent.





Naturally, the produc-‘





 





 





 

 

 

 





and '

.mlddlings and red dog, may be safely,

purchased now, although there is a.

possibility, not great, however, that

downturns may be recorded before

‘ At any

rate, shorts will begin to move up

more rapidly than bran. Cheap corn

is temporarily checking the demand

for shorts. Flour middlings are quoted

around $26 a ton on the’Minneapolis

market, $22 in Kansas City and about

$25 in St.’ Louis, with Chicago up to

$27 a ton.



Cottonseed cake and meal lack a do-

mestic outlet,_and foreign buyers have

recently begun to show more conserva-

tism in their buying policy. The pro?

duction by crushing plants also‘is in-

creasing, yet the output in the aggre~

gate is still extremely light, the pri-

mary bullish factor surrounding the

market. Crushers in Oklahoma are.

quoting cake and meal of forty-three

per cent protein content around $37 to

$37.50 a ton, and around $37.50 to $38

in Arkansas. Low-er prices, it Seems,

are ahead for the high protein feed,‘ :

but increased supplies are first neces- '

sai‘y. Buyers are refusing to take hold, l





 





 





owing to the wide disparity between

cake and meal and other feeds, includ- .

The range sections of the ' l





ing corn.





west and north, usually heavy buyers .

at this time, are now holding back. , f l



Small production also is behind the , ' I;

strength of linseed cake and meal. Eu-

ropeans are virtually out of the mar-

ket, manifesting an almost total lack

of interest in offerings. Crushers have ,

reduced their activities, thus keeping ‘,

burdensome offerings from the mar— :

ket. The flaxseed byproduct is holding .

around $43 a. ton, basis Minneapolis,

and around $47 a ton at Buffalo.





Corn and cats have fallen back. Eu- l

ropean demand for corn has fallen off,

and domestic channels presumably

have 'an abundance of corn remaining

from the ‘crop, even in the sections

where heavy purchases are usually

made about this time of the year. The

farmers are not large sellers of either

grain, feeding on a comparatively

heavy scale, but even the moderate

supplies that are flowing Into distrib-

uting channels are more than the trade

can absorb. Country prices for corn .

average between twenty—eight and thir-

ty-three cents a bushel over the cen-

tral states. Buyers of feedstuffs who

are concerned over possible bullish

tendencies in markets as a result of

prospective upturns in corn and oats

need be little alarmed, for such ad-

vances are not now in sight.



The hay situation is improved, the

result of the reduction in freight rates,

the passing of the war tax on freight

bills and other changes efiected recent-

ly to place forage more nearly on a

parity with competitive feeds. But the

improvement in the market can hardly

be considered as favorable from the

producer’s viewpoint. The advantage

is being shared largely by the consum-

ing trade. Larger sales of alfalfa hay .

are being. made in the west to dairy- ‘

men in Michigan and surrounding ,

states, and that territory is buying 7‘-

more prairie for feeding beef cattle. ‘ 1

0n the Kansas City market, the largest ‘

handling point for alfalfa, Sales of the

best grades are being made up to $22

a ton, although $17 to $18. covers most

of the transactions. Prairie hay is .

quoted up to '311 a ton. A larger move-

ment’ of hay is expected fromthe was.

Speaking fer the packers Mr. Thom<

as Wilson explained that the packers

had continued to accept all supplies of

live stock, although they had lost great

amounts of money through their oper-

ations. The packing industry is per-

haps the greatest of all and packers

would surely do their best to work with

the producer of liVe stock and that the

time had arrived when associations of

producers, under proper" supervision,

should systematize the orderly market-

ing of their products tovprevent gluts,

waste and loss. He declared the recent

Capper—Volstead act authorizing asso-

ciations to regulate shipments of farm

products to be sound in principle. Also

that the country at large should appre-

ciate the greatwork that is beingdone

by the Federal Department of Agricul-

ture. '





Discussing the effect of the agricul-

tural depression on the fertilizer indus-

try, Charles H. MacDowell, president

of the National Fertilizer Association,

said that the lowering cost of farm

products was the first problem to be

solved in getting agriculture stabilized

and ona profitable basis. With an ex-

portable surplus of 150,000 to 200,000

tons of sulphate ammonia, with natural

stores of phosphate rock the largest in

the world and with potash easily avail-

able from. South America and Europe

we need fear no shortage. Prices of

fertilizer at producing points are at

pre-war levels but freight rates must

come down. The industry is asking a

horizontal reduction of twenty-five per

cent on freights. He reported the

credit situation in the east and mid-

west as not serious but in the south

the situation is serious.





The results of the centerence may





be summed up in the resolutions which!





were reported after long hours of labor

in committee and sub-committee room.

It is not possible to publish them in

full but in a nutshell they were:





Committee on agriculture and price

relations declared that no revival of

business is possible until the farmer’s

dollar is restored to its normal pur~

chasing power. The action of the pres-

ident was commended for calling the

conference. The acts of the farm bloc

were heartily commended; approved

the program of the conferenCe for the

limitation-of armaments; urged the ad-

ministration to aid in the industrial re-

habilitation’of Europe; that the Unit~

ed States Department of Agriculture

take measures to furnish reports cf

supplies and conditions of foreign farm

products; commended efforts of the

department of Justice through publicity

and otherwise to reduce retail prices

and urged more vigorous action. The

government was urged to accept the

Ford Muscle Shoals offer and the

Lakes to Atlantic waterway was also

favored. ’





Committee on foreign competition

and demand favored immediate legis-

lation to pr vide credits to finance ex-

ports of surplus farm products; recom-

mending extension of preferential

freight .rates to other farm products for

export such as now exist for. grain;





opposing the tariff on potash for fer-'





tilizer; recommending to congress the

creation of a permanent tariff adjust.

ment board; recommending adequate

support for the International Institute

of Agriculture for the collection of

facts relative to foreign agriculture.





Committee on crop and market sta-





tistics recommended. that an aericulr





tars! census be taken. else: use years;

Committee on. agricultural research.





and education recommended. liberal





support of existing institutions for re .





search, education and extension, and

that their facilities should be directed

toward practical and economic prob»

lems. .l



Committee on farm population and

farm home declared safe-guarding the

health of the people of the open coun-

try to be the first consideration; advo-

cated appointment of farm women as

well as farm men to official positions

in farm organizations; commending

the President and congress for enact-

ing the maternity law; endorsed home

economics amendment to the federal

vocational education law; commended

club work for boys and girls.





ANNUAL MEETING OF MICHIGAN

SWINE BREEDERS’ ASSO-

CIATION.





 





E seventh annual meeting of the

Michigan Swine Breeders’ Associ-

ation was a complete success. It was

pronounced by many of the swine men

present “the best ever.” The largest

crowd ever assembled by the associa-

tion came to hear three of the foremost

swine men of the nation, and they went

away more than satisfied.



Mr. E. C. Stone’s address dealt opti—

mistically with “Placing Pure-bred

Swine on Every Farm." Mr. Stone is

a whirlwind when it comes to inject-

ing enthusiasm into swine breeders.

He is president of the National Organ-

ization of Swine Record Associations,

secretary of the American Hampshire

Associatién, and a very active member

of the committee that handles the at“—

fairsof the National Swine Growers'

Association. ‘The swine men of Mich—

igan who were privileged to hear him

were fortunate, and as a result will

carry away with them a greater confi-

dence in the swine industry of the

future.



The efficient secretary of the Ameri-

can Poland—China Record Association.

Mr. W. M. McFadden, gave a very in-

teresting and instructive talk on

“Breed Ideals.”

ers to hold firmly to high ideals and

not. let them slump along with the pric-

es. He emphasized. the importance of

honor, and fair dealing on the part of





the breeders themselves if their breeds ,





are to gain and. maintain the good wlil





and. confidence of the swine growing-





Mr..W. J. Carmichael, secretary of l





the National Swine Growers’ Associa-





tion, exhibited a fund of good business ‘





sense in his talk on “Types. Present

and Future.” He cautioned breeders

about going to extremes in type and.

recommended the type that naturally





develops the most desirable butcher





form at 200 to 250 pounds. the popular

butcher weight.





Further discussions relating to “Pig;





Clubs," by John‘Sims, and the “Butch-

813:, Model.” by a representative of

S ift & Company were well received,

and greatly appreciated by. the swine

growers.



The election of officers resulted in

the selection of Newton Barnhart, of

St. Johns, for president, and F. E.

‘lllaynes, of Osseo, for secretary-treas-



rer.

sometimes“ .

lack of consistent effort .in' market hog

production, is the idea held byfiome

persons, that the" farmers are vitally

interested in‘producing what is known

as the packers’ ideal. One of the de-

sirabl’e and important characteristics

of the most profitable ‘kind of market

hog is a certain ruggedness that ap-

pears necessary to meet average farm

conditions. There is a refinement and

lack of rugged character about the hog

that appears to be" the “ideal” of the

packer that does not always make that

hog the most profitable kind to raise.



While topping the market ‘is a very

pleasant stunt to pull off, it is by no

means necessary; to Secure the great-

est profit in pork production. Until

the packer_is willing to pay more of a.

premium than he generally does for

his ideal, the average farmer need not

be greatly concerned as to just what





the ideal may be.





In most of the countries" where an

important and pronounced achieve-

ment has been brought about (in the

way of the development of a. certain

breed of animals until they are not

equaled anywhere else in the world,

there is a very general recognition of

the fact and a-considerable concentra-

tion of effort in that direction. To

recognize, talk about and advertise

that fact, adds much to the profit and

satisfaction in the breeding of that par-

ticular kind of live stock.



What the Percheron horse is to

France, the Jersey cow to the Island of

Jersey, and the Shropshire sheep is to

England, .the hog is to America. This

fact is beginning to get a small meas-

ure of tardy and long. overdue recogni-

tion. The more nearly it becomes one

of the generally accepted facts of

American livestock breeding and de-

velopment, the better it will be for

the swine business and the greater are

the things that can be accomplished in

the way of future improvementand ex-

pansion.



If all those engaged in the breeding

of pure-bred swine could pointedly and

understandingly work along these con-

structive and definite lines, as they.

have heretofore, more or less uncon-

sciously done, the effect would be tre-

mendous. The fact is beyond dispute

that the farmer pork producer has de-

termined the kind of hog we have. In

spite of the fads and fancies of the

breeders of pure-breds with which they

have attempted to modify the hogs oi"

this country from time to time, the

real influence of such things has al-

ways been somewhat temporary and

we have always come back to the kind

the farmer has'found to be most to

his liking.



No systematic and comprehensive

dissemination of instruction and infor-

mation concerning the fundamental ac-

complishments of swme production in

America has ever been undertaken by

the agricultural colleges or farm press

of this country. Some day such 3. rec-

ognition may come, and if it does, it

will do a great deal to eliminate many

of the changes, the experiments in

crossing, and the lack of consistency,

which have been the bane of really

successful, pork production in this

country, up to this date.



When these facts concerning what

has been done and what the swine

business stands for and represents, are

well understood, the person who cares

for something beside the material

things of this world, will realize that

when a wellacooked, a juicy, luscious

pork chop is laid on'his table, it sym-

bolizes not only something that is pre-





eminently, made. in America, but alsok

one of the? greatest .liveufistock’acccma .

M":hmethat bastwo openings

have applied disinfectant and washed

oi! pus.with scan and water. When I

bought her, in. March, 1921, the bunch

.Was. not quite as large as now. She

has wonked well all summer and is

now in good condition. L. J. R, Scott-

ville,, Mich—You either have a case of

fractured jaw or diseased tooth, most

likely aspeck of bone which is acting

as an. irritant and until it sloughs out

or is removed the jaw will not be well.

Use peroxide of hydrogen to clean off

the pus, then pack opening With boric

acid.





Partial Loss of Power.—-—I would like

to know what to do for a cow that got

in the feed box and ate too much

ground corn and cob. She was in good

health for several days, then started

to show signs of weakness in her hind

quarters. When down she is unable to

get up, but if helped on foot she can

stand, but cannot walk. She eats and

drinks as if in perfect health. I gave

her two doses of the following drench

but it did not seem to help her: Epsom

salts, 12 ounces; ginger, one ounce;

gentian, one ounce; syrup, four ounces;

two drams of ground nux vomica and

a half ounce of saltpetre, and water to

make two quarts. J. S., Algonac, Mich.

—Immediately following the discovery

of your cow having eaten far too much

grain, you should have given her not

less than one and a half pounds of ep-

som salts, plenty of tepid water, either

to drink or as a drench—adding some

common salt to the water; she should

have been exercised and the posterior

bowel flushed with tepid water. ,Give

her one dram of fluid extract of nux

vomica. at a dose four times a day,

and apply mustard and water to back

two or. three times a week. Her bow-

els must be kept open. Feed her some

roots.





Chronic Indigestion.—I have a valu-

able Percheron mare eight years old.

She was very thin when I purchased

her two years ago, and shortly after

getting her, she broke loose and got

into a barrel of fine corn meal. I call-

ed a veterinarian as soon as I dISCOV-

ered her and he gave her what was

necessary. I presumed she suffered no

ill effects from the corn apparently and

in four days I began to feed her corn

again. The fifth day after workmg 1n

the morning she apparently developed

~colic. I called the veterinarian again

and after looking her over gave me

small hope of saving her but gave me

medicine to give every hour, which I

did for the following three days and

nights. She was nearly uncontrolla-

ble, rolling, kicking and throwmg her-

self. She lived through it. Her bowel

discharge was like water with lots of

gas. Following this she has had the

same attack of colic or whatever you

may call it, in a much lighter form.

At the beginning she had them about

every three or four times a week, and

at present after two years, about once

every four or six weeks. These spells

come on without any apparent cause.

She lies down, gets up, and lies down.

Sick spell lasts about one to four hours

with a sour gas and very mushy bowel

discharge. What shall I give her when

she has these attacks, and is there

anything I could give her to get her

over having them? H. C. 8., Hart,

Mich—Chronic indigestion may be pro-

duced in various ways, as by feedmg

an animal for a long time on large

quantities of oats. etc._. the stomach be-

ing overtaxed and finally failing, but

in this case it was evidently caused by

eating too much corn meal. .Have her

teeth examined, if visible mucus mem-

branes are yellow, give one dram of

calomel and one ounce of bicarbonate

of soda. daily for three days. Her bow-





els should be kept open, she should'





have daily exercise, her food and Wa-





ter supply should be of good quality.





Mix one pound of ground nux vomica,

two pounds of ginger, three pounds of

bicarbonate of soda together and give

her a. tablespoonf-ul at a dose in feed

two or three times a day. In my prac-

tice II have obtained in some cases

good results by giving, dilute hydro-

1mm acid three times. a day—the

WHEAT





With the prospect of only a moder-

ate carryover at the end of the crop

year in all the surplus countries, the

prospects of the new winter wheat

crop in the United States becomes es-

pecially important. The drouth in the

southwest is still unbroken and its

most severe in some of the heaviest

yielding counties of Kansas. With the

approach of spring, weather conditions

will be a paramount influence in de-

termining the trend of prices. A' big

dent was made in the visible supply

and bonded stock of wheat in the Unit-

ed States and Canada during the week

ending January 21. The total decrease

was 7,440,000 bushels. A few more

weeks of the same sort would reduce

greatly the pressure of these stocks

upon the market. The average de-

creaSe in the United States visible

supply from February 1 to July 1 has

been about 44,000,000 bushels. This is

more than the total visible supply at

the present time.





CORN





Arrivals of corn at primary markets

during the last two weeks totaled over

29,000,000 bushels and set a new rec-

ord in trade annals. Purchases for ex

port have been less prominent, due in

part to difliculty in obtaining ocean

freight room, but American corn in Eu-

rope is still quoté’d considerably cheap-

er than Argentine while the new Ar-

gentine crop now near the roasting ear

stage is imperiled by dry weather and

locusts. A fairly heavy movement dur-

ing most of February is probable but

producers have more confidence and in

another month it may be necessary for

prices to advance in order to attract a

new group of sellers if a movement"

broad enough to supply the demand for

corn is maintained. In spite of heavy

arrivals the visible supply has not in-

creased materially. -





OATS /





Domestic demand for oats is improv-

ing and export bids have been in the

market although only a small quantity

has been sold abroad. The oats visible

supply which is the chief depressor at

~‘thepresent time, usually decreases at

133. id rate during. the last winter and

- - man ‘ ,n shim .,





 





' Fair to good sheep. . ._ . . .





-“’ lb ..

E lm'm‘lu.





ilrr





 





Such a decrease is expected to begin

in another month and prices should

show some response.





SEEDS





Red clover seed prices advanced into

new high ground for the season last

week as a result of increased demand.

Dealers are preparing for the spring

trade and holdings in the producing

sections are small. The light crop in

Europe is reflected in the small imports

which amount to only 2,799,000 pounds

of red clover from July 1 up to January

15. Imports of alsike clover in the

same period were 3,914,000 pounds and

of alfalfa 3,177,000 pounds.





FEEDS





Both corn feeds and wheat feeds de- -





clined further last week so that they

are now $3@6 per ton cheaper than at

the high point of the, season in late

December. Apparently large quantities

were held by jobbers and these have

been pushed on the market. The high

protein feeds show more strength than

other kinds but in this division also

some reselling is noted. The break

offers an opportunity to the buyers of

wheat feeds, although prices for defer-

red shipment are $1@1.50 lower than

for immediate delivery. After supplies

in second hands have been placed, a

firmer market is probable.





AY





,Hay markets in the east have been

dull with prices tending downward but

demand in the west has increased

slightly and markets in that section

re fairly firm. High freight rates tend

to restrict the intermarket movement

and thus to localize market conditions.

There appears to be a large supply of

prairie hay still to come forward but

alfalfa is relatively less abundant. In

the drouth-stricken area in the south-

west, winter Wheat is not furnishing

pasture as it usually does and the hay

requirements of that section have in-

creased.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg dealers everywhere expect an

enormous output of eggs during spring

months and a further decline in prices.





 





At present it is still necessary to draw

on cold storage holdings but within a

few weeks the supply of fresh eggs

will more than satisfy consumptive .de-

mand so that it will be necessary. to

put eggs into storage. When that time

arrives; prices will be governed largely

‘by the views of the trade as to pros-

pective prices for storage eggs during





the following fall and winter. Mean-

while, the market fluotuates largely

with the character of. the weather





which has a good deal to do with the

rate at which, eggs will come forward

from the producing sections. A cold

snap early last week advanced the mar-

ket but it slumped again toward the

close as the weather moderated.





BUTTER





Both the supply and the demand fac-

tors worked in the direction of high

prices for butter during the past week.

Cold weather has curtailed production

although receipts at the principal mar-

kets have not yet shown the effects of

the decrease in the make at country

points. Pressure from. foreign butter

also has been less severe although a

little New Zealand butter arrived in

the east. Consumptive demand has

been stimulated by lower prices. That

butter has been disappearing into dis-

tributive channels is shown by the high

rate of withdrawals from cold storage.

Prices are about four cents higher than

the low point two weeks ago but the

market is unsettled and nervous. Low-

er values are undoubtedly ahead but

the spring increase in the make is still

some weeks away.



Prices for 92-score fresh butter were

as follows: Chicago 361/2c; New York

3855c. Fresh creamer-y in tubs sells

for 32%@331/20 in Detroit.





POTATOES





The leading potato producing states

have shipped about 110,000 cars thus

far. This is only about 31,000 cars

less than for the entire season a year

ago. The movement at the present

time is running about 3,000 cars per

week. Prices remain fairly steady and

northern sacked round whites arequot-

ed in most wholesale markets at $2.25

@240 per 100 pounds although the

The bean market advanced sharply

last week with $5 per hundred pounds





the ruling quotation at the close for‘





chOiCe hand-picked stock 1‘. o. b. Mich-

igan shipping points while farmers are

being offered $4.50 for beans in the

dirt. Red kidney beans after declin-

ing to about $5.50 advanced with other

kinds to $6; The recent strength has

been due to some foreign buying, to

the expected increase in demand from

wholesale grocers after inventories

were taken and to refusal of farmers

to part with the remaining stock. It

is estimated by bean trade specialists

that only about 20 per cent of the crop

is left in Michigan, including both farm

and elevator socks. This is an exreme-

ly small supply wih the new crop eight

months away.





WOOL





Although wool prices have advanced

all over the world, the high duty in the

emergency tariff is given credit for a.

good deal of the advance in the United

States. The future courses of values

depends tono small extent, therefore,

upon what'is done in the permanent

tariff. At the opening of its offering

of fall goods by the American .Woolen

the leading manufacturer,

prices quoted were three to five per

cent lower than a year ago. Higher

prices had been expected because of

the advance in! the wool market as no

recent reduction has been made in the

wage scale. The government offered

about 7,000,000 pounds of its holdings

on February 2.



The Boston/market is quoted as fol-

lows: Michigan and New York fleeces,

THE forty-first annual meeting of

the Michigan Shorthorn Breeders’

Association was held at the Michigan

Agricultural College, January 12, 1922.



Mr. J. Tormey, American Short-

horn. Breeders' Association, Chicago,

and Dr. E. T. Hallman, Michigan Agri-

cultural College, gave very interesting

and instructive talks. Mr. Tormey ex;

plained in detail the plans whereby the

American Shorthorn Breeders’ Associ~

ation would cooperate with state asso-

ciations in the support of a field man.

It was then decided that the Michigan

Association should take steps toward

this end and a committee of three, con-

sisting of: P. P. Pope, Mt. Pleasant,

Mich; G. A. Prescott, Jr., Tawas City,

Mich.; and W. E. J. Edwards, East

Lansing, Mich., was appointed to work

out plans whereby such a field man

may be appointed and the work

financed.



The officers elected for the ensuing

year were: President, George A. Pres-

cott, Jr., Tawas City; vice-president, S.

H. Bangbcrn, Bad Axe; secretary-treas-

urer, W. E. J. Edwards, East Lansing;

directors, M. E. Miller, of Greenville;

H. B. Peters, Carland, and Elden Mc-

Lachlan, Evart. .



In the evening about sixty breeders

enjoyed a fine banquet at the Hotel

Kerns, Lansing, when H. McPherson,

state banking commissioner, Lansing;

J. L. Tormey, Chicago, and W. S. Kel-

logg, Agricultural Editor of the State

Jolurnal, and others gave interesting

ta ks.

silanti. This ended the business ses-

sion.



Mr. Burlingham had one more sur-

prise fcr Ayrshire enthusiasts in the

form of a moving picture film of Ayr-

shires, so all went over to the Agricul-

tural Building and there witnessed on

the screen old Garclaugh May Mischief 1

Who, at sixteen years of age. is typical

of Ayrshire traits, still producing and

reproducing in spite of the fact that

she has over $25,000 of milk to her

credit in a single lactation period.

Space will not permit of going into de- l

tails of the different cows as they no ‘

peared, but suffice it to say that the E

review was sufficient to make every

Ayrshire bre‘eder’s heart throb.



Mr. A. M. Berridge, the short-course

director, and Mr. A. C. Baltzer, of the

extension department, put these pic-

tures on the screen.



The writer feels that all who con-

tributed to the success of this first

meeting will look back with pride some

day in knowing that they were instru-

mental in getting these few young

breeders together who are determined

from now on to tell the. world What

they have.



Miss Ayrshire will do the rest. Just

watch her!
