DETROIT, FEBRUARY ll, 1922 NUMBER SIX C URREN T COMMENT HE needs of agri- culture in the way of national legislation VOIStead are receiving. more Bin consideration in the congress of the Unit- ed States at the present time than ever before. This is true because of the fact that there are more real states- men in that body who recognize the premise that agriculture is a basic in- dustry, the prosperity of which is es- sential to the prosperity of the country at large and its many commercial industries. Of all the so—called farmer legisla- tion which is under consideration in congress at the present time, the Cap- per-Volstead marketing bill is undoubt- edly of the greatest interest and im- portance to the farmers of the country at the present time. This bill has been strongly indorsed by every farmers' organization in the country, as it was by the Agricultural Conference recent- ly held at Washington,,where the aim and object of this measure was also approved by President Harding in his address before the conference. In this connection Michigan Farmer readers will be interested in a resume of the explanation and discussion of this bill in the senate, by its co—author, Senator Capper, which will be found in another column of this page. The Capper- NCE more our ag- ricultural college 9 Farm?” has scored. The 1922 Week ’3 4 Farmers’ Week was a Success triumph. The num- ber of people present, the arrangement and execution of the various programs, the general interest manifested and the information and inspiration imparted, marks this as one of the most successful round-ups ever held at the Michigan Agricultur- al College. Visitors who recently have been present at big farm meetings in other states declared the one at East Lan- sing to be by far the best they had attended this year and in several years and that the farmers of Michigan seemed to be in far bettfirjood than are tillers of the soil in any other part of the countvy. It is apparent that Michigan farmers are getting down to business and putting brains into their farm work, whether in lines of pro- duction, marketing or living. The week at the college was packed full of good. things. Throughout the I 7 ”present on the grounds gathering in- formation of interest to farmers aid their families. M'uch ,nf‘, what 'thef .found appears in this issue while other features of the big week will be (pub iished next week and in later num-‘ here. We are pleased to be able to make this vast fund ‘of information available to the thousands of Michigan farm folks who read these columns. N another column . of this issue ap- Unt‘m. pears a report of the 1773’th address of Governor Groesbeck in which Rates " he declared that Michigan farmers are being discrimi- nated against in the matter of freight rates. Maximum increases made dur- ing the past eight years are being charged by railroads in the lower pe- state are now contri‘ , the coffers of the companies than are the patrons in any comparable ter- ritory. These high rates are charged oi! the products which the farmers sell and addedoto those which he buys. While with this handicap the generally 'fa'v- orable home and nearby markets still give the farmers of the state an ad- vantage over other sections of the country, it is not just and this arti- ficial “tariff” Wall established around the state to the economic disadvan- tage of both producers and consumers, should be removed. Every person affected should work to have this unjust discrimination corrected. To this end readers should address letters and petitions to the interstate Commerce Commission and- to congressmen and senators. The Farmers’ Marketing Bill By Our W arfiington Correrporzdem‘ PEAKING on the Capper-Volstead S cooperative marketing bill in the senate on February 2, Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, said in part that “the cooperative marketing bill as it was offered in both the senate and house seeks simply to make definite the law relating to cooperative associ- ations of farmers and to establish a basis on which these organizations may be legally formed. Its purpose is to give to the farmer the same right to bargain collectively that is already enjoyed by corporations. The bill is designed to make affirmative and un- questioned the right which already is generally admitted, but which, in view of the Sherman law, is subject to nul- lifying interpretation by those whose interests are not identical with those of the farmer, and who for one reason or another may be in position to obtain an interpretation advantageous to themselves and embarrassing or detri- mental to the members of cooperative organizations. . A “The original bill authorizes and validates cooperative associations of producers regardless of technical form, limited only ‘by certain test re- quirements as to cooperative charac- ter; permits them to develop their ac- tivities to a natural extent, which in- volves a tendency toward great com- modity organizations, and safeguards the public against any possible abuse by such cooperative marketing associ- ations by appeal to and action by the department of agriculture. The amendment offered by Senator Walsh for the judiciary committee strikes out practically all of the origi- nal bill and substitutes therefore a dec- laration with no regulatory features, but with direct prohibition of monop- olies and direct privilege of handling the products of outsiders and direct in- clusion of the terms of the Federal Trade Commission not.” In opposing the Walsh amendment, Senator ‘Capper said: “I hope the sub- stitute offered by the committee on the judiciary will not be agreed to. Whatever differences of opinion there may be as to the merits of the propos- ed legislation, congress should not say to the farmers, as it does in Section 1, ‘You may combine to market your products,’ and then by proviso say, ‘You must not combine,’ which would be the effect of the amendment offer- ed by the senator from Montana. . “It is evident that this proviso nulli- fies the act, as no association can effi- ciently. operate that does not control and handle a substantial paFt of a giv- en commodity in the locality where it operates. Middlemen allege that farm- ers in selling their products 'individu— ally are competitors with each other, and that by combining into. associa- tions "to market collectively suchcom-I petition is eliminated and the farmers thereby undertake to form a monopoly. Though it is conceded that the inevité able effect of cooperative marketing is to lessen competition between farmers, it nevertheless remains that farmers must market collectively or, in the most correct sense, they cannot mar- ket at all, but they must usually turn over their products to a non-competi- tive buyer who operates the only ele- ‘vator or milk station accessible to the farmers of the locality. “Middlemen who buy farm products act collectively as stockholders in cor- porations owning the business and through. their ’representatives buy of farmers, and if farmers must continue to sell individually to these large ag- gregations of men who control the av- enues and agencies through and by which farm products reach the con- suming market, then farmers must for all time remain at the mercy ofthe buyers. In so doing they are not in the most accurate sense marketing their products at.a.ll, ,but are forced by conditions to turn over such mar- keting to powerful associations of mid- dlemen. “With the legal status of their or- ganizations Clearly defined, farmers can do something to cut down the Spread between the prices they now receive and those paid by consumers. * * " The bill as it passed the house, and which I hope will have the ap-' proval of the senate, gives to consum- ers a protection which they do not now have as against middlemen, in that if such farmers’ marketing asso- ciations unduly enhance prices an ad- equate remedy is provided in Section 2. If such association unduly'r enhances prices, the secretary of agriculture may order it to cease and desist from monopolizing and restraining trade and commerce. “The Capper-Volstead bill, so-called, was designed simply to give to the growers or the farmers.the same op portunity for_ successful organization and distribution of their products that the great corporations of America have enjoyed for many years. More and more it has become evident that the growers must have an opportunity to merchandise their products in an orderly way, instead of being compell- ed to dump them on a glutted market .at prices below cost of production. “Every statesman looks forward to a condition as ideal when, the whole country will be dotted with small firms, each operated by its owner. Every statesman deplores the spread cf tenantry and insists that best citi- zenship can be developed only upon. the individual system of farm produc- tion. Because of this peculiar charac- teristic of " culture, the grewers. have never? en able to adept” a cor- .not to do. . _ y operative form of organization, maintains individuality or production but enables them to unite for market- ing purposes. ' “Marketing is always a group prob- lem. No man can intelligently distrib ute without knowing what the markets will absorb; the amountof that partic- ular commodity \grown in this and oth- er countries; cempetition of other com- modities of similar use or character; conditions of transportation; possibil- ities of storage and credits. Individual growers can not begin to handle marketing problems on an in- telligent basis, because these problems are essentially group problems. The individual farmer has no more chance of selling his production fairly and in- telligently over a long period of time than has the individual shoemaker in a great shoe factory of selling his par- ticular share of manufactured product distinct and separate from the whole of the products of his fellow work- men- Therefore the cooperative mar- ‘keting associations have developed (Continued on page 148). _W0una’ Up at Round-up ' AST week —I put on my new shoes what squeak like a dry buggy ' 1‘ wheel, a nice white collar and the ,red tie my mother-in-law bought me, and got rounded-up at the Farm- ers’ College at Lansing with the rest of the aspiring farmers of the state of Michigan. The college is a nice place with lots of buildings bigger ’en Smith’s barn and a. nice big front yard where bud- din’ youth is pursuin’ knowledge with earnest endeamr. Seems like knowledge is hard to ketch ’cause they is always chasln’ it. Anyhow, there ' was what they say was perfectly nor- mal young men, in the buildln’ called Jim, what look like they started to get .dressed but forgot about it right af- ter they got start- ed and was runnin’ around and makln’ a lot of noise aboutnothin’ inpartic- ular. And in another place there’s a lot of girls what is said to come from per- rectly good families who likewise for- . got to get dressed, but didn’t forget so soon, makln’ noise about the same thing. Getting educashun must be a occupashun what needs a lot of mus- cle and a voice what can holler good. Some of the boys said the yound la‘ dies come from a big buildin’ what they called “The Hen Coop.” Bein’ as I was always interested in chickens I went over and looked the coop over. I say those boys ain’t got that bulldin’ named right. It should be call-ed “The Pullet Palace” ’cause the inhabitants thereof ain’t old enough to be hens even if they know how to cook eggs all right. The roundup part of this week of outin’ was a lot of meetin’s all at once every day. It took me so long to find out which one I wanted to go to that I didn’t get to none. I looked in on some of them and saw lots of folks listinin’ to some man of extinction talkin’ on “The Problems of Producshun,” “Operatin’ on Cooper- ashun,” or such like. I wasn’t asked my opinion of these ' things, so I didn’t stay- Anyhow, I knew I could read all about ’em in the papers, whereas the aforesaid subjects of interest ain’t never mentioned.

H ‘most important» silage crops in Western Canada, and one in which northern Michigan farmers are rapidly becoming interested. The rise of this once despised weed to a position of recOgnized value in the economics of ‘ a nation has been one of the most in- teresting agricultural developments of recent years. . Only a little while ago, one perhaps might have seen in Western Canada 'a few. tall sunflowers nodding their ‘ big blossoms in some neglected fence 'corner where they had escaped the ' reaper or mower. of prairie farms every summer broad fields of sunflowers, make the land'- ’ scape gorgeous with‘ their masses of yellow blooms. Sunflowers have greatly increased the number of silos. Since they have become a cultivated crop, the prairies . are becoming dotted with silos. Every prosperous farmer has a silo or is planning to build'one. Time'was when Western Canada was divided between wheat and cattle. The . cattle pastured on the open range, the wheat was almost an: exclusive crop. These were the days of the cattle king and the wheat baron. They were bon- anza days when big farmers scored a fortune or a failure in a‘ year. Today is the day of the small farm- ' er and diversified farming in Western , Canada. _ The settlers are raising not only wheat but other field crops and all kinds of live stock.,Their prosperity ‘ is based on a diversity of farm products. This era of diversified farming has helped the sunflower to its new place. in agriculture. Silage is necessary as i a winter feed for .live stock and. sun- By Walter N.__ Burns ‘ 1103”th Sunflowers . i * Sunflowers are a Good Suértztute for Cam in 51/01" UNFLOWERS are today one of the. ’ Now on hundreds flowers have solved the silage problem for many farmers. There is a race be. tween corn. fodder and sunflowers for supremacy as a Silage crop and sun- flOWers are gradually forging to the front. “A conclusive test as to the relative merits of sunflowers, corn, oats and pea silage was recently made on'a Canadian government experiment farm,” said DeWitt Foster, superin- tendent of the industrial and resources department of the Canadian National Railways. “A herd of Holsteins was fed on each of the three silages two ‘weight per day; 25.88 pounds of milk of 3.5 per cent . butter-fat and gained: one pound per weeks at a time, each cow being given thirty pounds daily. On sunflower sil- age, each cow produced 27.24 pounds of milk daily of 3. 6 per cent butter-fat content and gained two pounds in on peas and oats, day; on corn, 26.4 pounds of milk of 3. 4 per cent butter-fat and gained 1. 85 per day. ” Two great advantages sunflowers have over corn as a silage crop. They cost much less to grow and their yield is very much heavier. On good land A Field ? of Silage Sunflowers. thirty tons of sunflowers may be grown to the acre. Corn is a hardy crop but sunflowers are hardier. They will thrive on dry land where corn would be a failure. They flourish un- der soil and climatic conditions that-‘ would kill other crops. Twenty tons. to the acre on poor land is not unus- ual. As for the cost of tuining sun- flowers into silage, one farmer who . has been feeding his cattle sunflower silage for several years, estimates that it costs him' $1.50 a ton to pack the sunflowers into the silo. Last year he fed his cows thirty pounds of sunflow- er silage a. day and they averaged from forty to fifty pounds of milk a day. The palatability of sunflower silage was a question at first which led some farmers to doubt its value. This is no longer a problem. It is sometimes a matter of a little difficulty to wean cows from corn silage when they have grown used to it and accustom them to sunflower silage. Corn perhaps has a daintier flavor to the bovine palate than sunflowers. But the question is solved quickly by feeding the cattle a mixture of corn and sunflower silage and gradually changing to an exclus- ive sunflower diet. When they have once acquired the taste fo1 sunflower silage, itl is said cattle seem to prefer it to corn silage. At least they eat it with equal appetite and with equal physical benefits. By making silage cheap and abund- ant, sunflowers have aided the farm- ers of Western Canada in a very ma- terial way. Silos practically double the stock supporting capacity of land, and sunflower silage enables a farmer almost to double his dairy or beef / herd without adding to the acreage of- his farm. Maple Sugar and Syrup Profits A Proper/y Hand/ed “Sugar Buré” [Vi/l Pay Good Dz‘wa’emz’s .By E. A. Williams HE making of maple sugar and syrup has become but a mem- ory to too many farmers where wood lots have given plade to cultivat- ed fields and pastures._Upon hundreds of farms are found the best kind of a sugar bush, yet the farmer is not equipped to collect nature’s liquid sun- shine and convert it‘ into one of the most delicious market products, for which there is an unanswerable de- - mand at profitable prices. This, too, in view of the fact, that one season's good run would pay for the outfit, leaving a dozen years’ clear profit for the future. On many farms the sugar bush is simply the woodlot that has been pre- served to supply fuel for the house- hold, to afford a bit ‘of beauty and shelter in the midst of a wind-swept country and to provide an annual crop of sugar and syrup to be used as a delicacy or sold to regular customers at a high price. Such‘bushes usually contain trees’ of several varieties, but the maples are the last to be taken. It is not from these small mixed groves that the great marketable sup- ply is secured but rather from the morerugged areas where the plow and the harvester are not so easily operat- " ed. The groves as found in the prin- cipal sugar sections are, chiefly maple trees. the other kinds having been re- qnoved for fuel or for the saw. This " $111 the condition that obtains in many A Well-equipped Sugar Shanty Makes High Quality Products More Certain. making quality depends on a large leaf area. number of trees per acre must be con- sistent with the greatest crown devel- opment of each tree in the grove. A maple tree, which is a forest species, growing under this condition will pro- duce a good length of trunk and this is necessary to a productive yield be- , cause the elaborated sugar is stored in the trunk of the tree for use. during From this it follows that the the next season; comes a storage tank. tree for sugar making is a tree with ample rootsystem to supply an abund- ant amount of crude sap; a broad, spreading top with big leaf surface ‘to elaborate the sap and“ a big, long body in which the sap may be stored. thus the trunk be- The typical A sugar vroye requires some atten- tion to keep it in good condition. Apart from the maintaining of roadways to facilitate collecting of sap, thinning out may be necessary from time to time. In a usual mixture the trees of species other than maple may be grad- ually removed and the reproduction of the maple encouiaged. In making such a thinning, the work should be done gradually, the t1ees which cxowd the best maples being taken out first, a. few trees from a place at a time so as not to suddenly expose the largest maples to dange1 f1om wind storms. If the maples themselves stand too thickly those with small crowns or. unsoundness should be removed. The promising saplings should be given every opportunity for growth. i Unfortunately the stripping of even our rocky lands of their trees has gone on to an unprofitable deg1ee. A maple tree that will out two cords of wood is w01th on the stump for that purpose about $6 00 at the p1esent price 013 wood. The annual interest on this sum is thirty cents.

Sap as it comes from the maple tree is a very dilute solution containing ' from ninety-five to ninety-eight per cent of water and about three per cent (Continued on page 170). ‘ ' (~94 " 9 LATEAGRI’CULTURfALNEWS STATE FARM BUREAU OFFICERS FOR! 1922. - . ,‘ HE new board of directors of the j '.

POTATO GROWERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING. HE Michigan Potato Producers' Association held their annual meeting at East Lansing on Jan- uary 31 and February 1. The principal speakers on the program were Dean R. S. Shaw, of the Michigan Agricul- tural College; Professor J. G. Milward, of the Wisconsin University, Madison, Wis; Mr. J. W. Nicolson and Mr. C. F. Barnum, of the Michigan State Farm Bureau. The meetings were well at- tended and much interest was shown in all of the speeches and discussions. Professor Milward, in speaking about seed potato improvement work in Wisconsin, emphasized the import- ance of potato inspection and certifica- tion service in helping to better the standards of the potato industry. The growers in southern states are depend- ' out upon the northern potato growing ' states for seed potatoes, and it is es- One important feature of the potato show was the exhibit of Michigan po- tatoes that won the sweepstake prize at the International Potato Show, at Duluth, Minn., in November, 1921. The potatoes shown in this exhibit were grown by Mr. Lee E. Sneathen, Charle- voix county; . W. C. Mallory, Frank Ford, Caddick Brothers, Anthony & Son, J. George Brudy, Wm. Brown and W. L. Thomas, of Cheboygan county. An educational exhibit showing the most important potato diseases attract- ed much attention. Tipburn or hopper- burn, one of the most serious troubles with which potato growers have to contend, was the dominating feature of the petan disease exhibit. The life history of the leaf hopper which is the insect that causes hopper-burn, was shown graphically by means of a me- chanical device. Spraying the vines with Bordeaux mixture was recom- mended for controlling this pest. Pic- tures and figures giving the results se- cured last summer in Emmet county with the Bordeaux spray, were con- vincing proof of the value of this spray in combating the leaf hopper.. The potato disease exhibit was arranged by J. E. Kotila, of the botanical de- partment. MICHIGAN FARMER DISCRIMINAT- ED AGAINST. farmers are actually and relatively higher than can be found in any other comparable section of the United States. “To illustrate: Waupaca, Wiscon- sin, is the price-basing. market for Wis- ‘consin potato shippers. The distance from Waupaca to Chicago is 221 miles and the rate is twenty-five cents per hundred pounds. The distance from Hart, Michigan, to Chicago, is 234 miles and the rate on potatoes is thir- ty—six cents per hundred pounds, a dis- advantage of thirteen miles in distance and thirteen cents per hundred pounds in freight charges. To Toledo, Ohio, the distance from Waupaca, Wis, is _ 409 miles and the rate is thirty~flve and' one-half cents. "From Hart, Michigan, the distance is 266 miles and the rate is thirty-five and one-fourth cents. In this instance, Hart has an advantage of 143 miles in distance but no advan- tage in freight. “To Pittsburgh, Pa., one Zof the most important markets, the distance from Waupaca, Wis, is 651 miles and the freight rate forty-four cents. From Cadillac, Michigan, the distance is 470 miles, or 181 miles less than from Waupaca, and the freight" rate is forty- two and one-half cents. In this in- stance an advantage in distance of 181 miles yields an advantage in freight rate of only one and one-half cents per hundred pounds. In the Pittsburgh the fifth—class rates, ‘ are applied to Michigan shipments; whereas, from an other and competing agricultural statesg special and specific commodity, rates, much lower than would be their class rates, areoapplied. The only ex- ception ,is with respect to rates on grain. ' . “Because of representations made by Michigan railroads the Interstate Com- merce Commission has permitted the carriers to divide the lower peninsula. of Michigan into several rate zones, with the result that the rates from Michigan points to all points outside Michigan progressively and substan- tially increase as the distance from Michigan-Ohio-Indiana state line in- - creases; but without regard to the ac- tual distance. practically annihilating differences in distance. of from fifty to 200 miles that should be favorable to Michigan points. “In other words, the zone system greatly inflates the entire Michigan rate adjustment and completely disre- gards whatevernatural advantages of location Michigan farmers may have with respect to the important market for the product. It is of equal import- ance that this maladjustment of Mich- igan freight rates not only affects the outbound shipment of Michigan prod- ucts, but also affects everything the farmer buys.

Fault of. Zone System. “The principal reason why rates on sential that this seed be free from roads with the full consent of the In: farm products from Michigan points to varietal mixtures and serious diseases. ‘ Special stress was placed on the im- portance of testing out different strains of potatoes so that the weak, poor- yielding ones can be eliminated, while ‘ those of merit can be increased for distribution to the growers -of the in- spected certified seed. Mr. Nicolson gave the results that had been secured in selling the 1921 crop of certified seed potatoes through the seed department of the Michigan State Farm Bureau. He brought out very forcibly the fact that the success of the certified seed- potato work in . Michigan ~is dependent upon the pro- duction and selling of high quality seed. To produce the best quality seed the rules governing the inspec- tion work must be kept at “a high standard and growers must conform to. the rules. - Mr. Barnum explained that the growers having certified seed for sale should keep the seed department of the farm bureau notified as to the amount of stock that they have for sale and the price of same. He stated that seed stock must be free from dis- ease and be of high-yielding, vigorous strains and furthermore, that it must ‘ present a good appearance when it reaches the consumer. The potatoes must be in new bags and the tubers mUSt be free from dirt, _fork punc- tures, etc. The following officers were elected: President, Thomas Buell, Elmira; vice-president, A. B. Large, Cadillac; secretary-treasurer, H. C. Moore, East Lansing. J. C. Redpath, Kalamazoo, and O. S. Wood, Barryton, were elect- ed members of the executive com- mittee.

After pointing out the helplessness of both producers and consumers un- der the present individualistic system, and referring to the success of such California citrus fruit growers have at- “, tempted, Senator Capper said: . "‘We can never again become a. truly contented, normal and prosperous peo- ple except through bettering the con- dition of American agriculture. The situation today is critical. It is dan- gerous. American agriculture has never reached so low an ebb as it has today. “In an organized world of business and industry we must put our $80,000,- 000,000 farming industry on an equal footing and a permanent basis or be prepared to see it die through eco- nomic inanition and suffer more and more disastrously from evil times when we should be enjoying good times.* * ‘* "I sincerely believe that we shall never again enjoy true prosperity in the United States until one of two things shall happen :\ Either manufac- tured goods must be more nearly and permanently on a parity with" farm products, so far as the farmer is con. cerned, or farm products must be more nearly on a parity with manufactured products. > ~ “The best way, the only feasible way, to bring this parity'about, it seems to me, is to increase the pro- ducer’s profit by shortening the road to market. The way .to accomplish this is through cooperative marketing, which eliminates the unessential and speculative middleman, and which gives the producer and the consumer their due.

Nor did the ag- ricultural leaders and “teachers walk with the firm and confident step that characterized their meanderings in other years. And in the addresses and discussions on the economic phases of the great agricultural industry thoughts, for the most part, were ex- pressed in rather vague and general terms. the wilder.ness As President Burton, of the University of Michigan, said in his masterly address, we need a Lin- coln to make clear to the common folks the tremendous issues with which we are confronted. A conservative policy was advocated by our commissioner of agriculture, Hon. H. H. Halladay, in his address before the Tuesday afternoon audi— ence. The taxation burden does not warrant the undertaking of new gov- ernmental projects and demands effi- The learned and the layman alike appeared , to be looking for 11‘ Moses to come and help them out of ciency in every public service depart- ment and bureau now established. The commissioner reviewed the eco- nomic phases ofthe control of diseas- es among the flocks and herds of Mich- igan and cited the progress made in stamping out hog cholera and inerad- icating tuberculosis from our dairy herds. This rapid progress is due to the fact that many agencies have been cooperating. The federal government, the state, local veterinarians, county agents, farm bureaus and the farmers themselves have all been putting their shoulders to’the problem and the re- sults show what success has followed. In the field of marketing the com- missioner holds that advancement will come more satisfactorily by giving in- creased attention to quality rather than to quantity production. To this end our local and state fairs are in a position to render an important educa- tional service. The more careful cen- suring of the entertainment features of these fairs to make room for a wid- er development of agricultural ideals was urged by the speaker in closing. Creelman Speaks. A ray of light was flashed across the minds of anxious listeners when Dr. G. C. Creelman, former president of the‘Ontario Agricultural College, told of the farmer movement in that Talks on Better Farm Crops NCREASED efficiency in crop pro- duction through a greater use of quaIity seed was the keynote of the program at Wednesday’s meeting of the Michigan Crop Improvement As~ sociation, held at M ‘A. C. in connec- tion with Farmers’ Week. “Quality seed of high- -yielding vari- eties adapted to the conditions under which they age grown will bring a safer, a more dependable, and a more profitable crops production,” said Pro- fessor A. C. Arny, head of the Farm~ Crops Department of the University of Minnesota and main speaker at the morning’s meeting. Professor Arhy believed that Mich: .igan. farmers who used the inspected seed of the Crop Improvement Associ- ation were eliminating much of this loss through using seed of known pur- ity, adaptability and vitality. Both Professor Amy and Professor J. F. Cox, of the-Farm Crops Depart~ ment of the Michigan Agricultural Col- lege, emphasized the importance of diversified agriculture, particularly in times when staple products were low- pricedas they are today. ‘o‘In, diversity there is strength,” said Professor Cox, and be quoted figures Which showed the staple crops of wheat, corn and oats to be selling be- low the average for the ten-year pe- riod of 1911-1920 while beans, potatoes “ andhay which give Michigan her di-. ‘versity were selling at prices substan- tially above that ten-year average. Be- cause of this diversity Michigan is in ’better shape agriculturally today than . ~ any state in the Union, with the possi- , ble exception of CalifOrnia. In speaking of crops adjustments Professor Cox urged a greater increase in the, acreage of leguminous craps, particularly alfalfa. He stressed the importanCe of lime in this connection and also the use of—native northern- grown seed, particularly of the Grimm Michigan farmers today- can rem-r their Farm Bureau Seed has. ,the meeting, indicating the greatly in- . -creased- interest whiCh the producers lion pounds of northern common. Professor Cox also pointed out the opportunities for profit in seed produc- tion in Michigan. Members of the Crop Improvement Association the past two years have found a ready market for their seed despite the de- pression and the demand this year for Michigan pedigreed seed will fa1 ex- ceed‘ the supply. That Italian clover seed is not adap- ted to Michigan conditions was brought out by C. R. Megee, Assistant Professor of Farm Crops at M. A. C. In tests at the Michigan station, he said, “Michigan-grown seed gave nine- ty per cent of a stand, whereas Italian grown. seed gave only'five per cent of a stand. He also called attention to large supplies of Michigan-grown win~ ter vetch, sweet clover, and soy-beans, assuring Michigan farmers of a plenti- ful supply of safe seed of these valu- able legumes. Professor Spragg, plant breeder, told of the origin of the New Hardigan al- falfa. In tests at the station, thus far, it has yielded at least fully as well as Grimm and other hardy varieties while for seed production it has produced about three times as well. This vari- ety promises to take an important place in Michigan agriculture by enab- ling farmers of this state to profitably produce their own seed. Other speakers were E. E. .D'own, assistant plant breeder, who outlined the work being done at M. A. C. in the development of sugar beet seed pro- duction for Michigan, and J. R. Dun- can, who. has been working with corn at the station and has three strains of corn, improvements of the Duncan and Golden Glow varieties, and a new vari- ety, the M. A. C.

Over five hundred farmers attended , an the wages of profiessional people Atthe Farmers Round- -up Large Cro wa’i at M A. C. Hear Big Proé/ems Diycmied province. The present control of gov- ernment across the border was not gained in a day. It was rather the product of. over a generation of effort in the development of agricultural leadership. The good work began in 1874 when the grange, then flourishing in the states, was introduced and established in the rural districts of Canada. Early progress largely came to naught be- cause the necessary attention was not given to developing the younger gen- eration. The activities of the organi- zation did provoke more thinking on the part of the farmer folks which re- sulted in the breaking down of politi- cal party lines and made possible the election to office of a higher class of men. The grange also ended the old credit system and encouraged cash trading, besides awakened the public conscience to the necessityof protect- ing and conserving public resources. Rural mail was established as a result of grange agitation and a railroad com- mission was secured for the Province. In 1890- the Patrons of Industry arose to champion the farmer’s cause and this organization was responsible for electing seventeen members to the follOwlng parliament. The outlook , seemed so promising that internal dis- sension developed over leadership and the next session only one member was \eturned. Not long after the Farmers’ Association was launched with the ob- ject of securing and promoting the farmer’s interests through legislation and otherwise. A bill was enacted to require railroads to build cattle guards at crossings and another to oblige the railway companies to construct ade- quate drainage across their right-of- way. Of all of theme attempts the grange has been the only organization to survive. Next came the United Farme1s of Ontario. Their prog1am was medest. It was to give the farmers a knowl- edge of public questions. As the move- ment has _developed the sphere of ac- tivity has broadened and now a three- phase line of work is under way. These lines are organization, educa- tion and cooperative selling and buy- ing. The important thing emphasized all through Mr. Creelman’s' address that ,the farmers must stick. If they stick they will get somewhere. If they do' not hang together then their at- tempts are bound to be futile. He is convinced that twenty men by holding themselves together on a definite policy can transform a community. But to make this a go they must not fail to include the second phase of work—education. We must think Women’s Sessi HE farm women of Michigan who have been- wondering as to causes of the depression through which we are passing, were told one reason at the Wednesday morning ses- sion of. the houeewives’ congress in East Lansing, by Miss Edna N. White, director of the Merrill- Palmer School of Detroit. Miss White has recently returned from. a survey 0f health con- ditions among the children of Europe, and- she had 110 hesitation in laying 'the blame for Our business depression to conditions existing in Central Eu- rope. Half the population of Buda Pesth are barefoot, boys go about with no clothing above the waist, and little girls with a dress and no undercloth- ing, or with underclothes and noidress, . be done. -to feel the reaction, according to Miss and are watching the school chil‘ more, read more, and work more intel— . ,, ligently. Farm homes have too few ' books. Farmers are as well informed ;_ as any class, yet they lack in know1-. edge of the things with which their life is tied up so closely. , “ Finally if the farmers can organize, and stick and if they work with an i open mind to secure the facts, then they am getting themselves in shape C to proceed with intelligent coopera- tion. Three years ago the framers sent their representatives to Toronto , to see what could be done to improve ' - the conditions f01 ma1keting the1r live . , stock. They seemed a cut from around" , $100 to $16 for handling carloads of' stock and obtained pe1mission to use one small corner of the yards for sell- " ing stock shipped in by cooperative ~ organizations. Now the farmers con- ‘ trol five-sixths of the entire 'yards. Substantial progress has also been made in the marketing of fruit. He has faith that these movements are well founded and that the work is go- ing f01wa1d and will accomplish much f01 the farmer and 1‘01 the country. While this movement staited with the idea of info1ming the farmer on public questions it was little dreamed that he would ea1ly be lea1ning his lessons thiough actual experience. However, it was little more than a fortnight before the farmers had a ma.- jority in the house of parliament and were called upon to form a cabinet. Not a single member had ever had legislative experience, nevertheless they proceeded and the results have been so satisfactory that the whole province and dominion have developed confidence in the farmer’s ability to do for the good of: the whole people. Grange Accomplishments. In the absence of A. B. Cook, mas- ter of the State Grange, who was in attendance at the Washington confer- ence, and who was to have told of what the grange had done and hoped to do, Mrs. Dora Stockman, lecturer of the State Grange, and member of the State Board of Agriculture, was called to fill the place on the program. , She gave an inspiring address and in her 1ecita1 of the many big things which have been accomplished for ag- riculture and the countiy by this or- ganization duiing the past half cen- tury, she impressed the audience with the saneness of the giange program, with its comprehensiveness, and with the t1ue democratic spiIit in which the wo1k has been ca11ied on. The grange has always lived with the peOple be- cause it has been of the people—its work has been right on the same level where folks live. on Interesting It follows that little can be done in the way of buying American ,goods.’ Miss White told of families of six and sev- en herded into one room, absolutely dependent on the wo1k of the Ameri- .5“ can Relief Commission 01 of the Quak~ ers, in many cases the mother dying"f of tuberculosis and the father unable '7“ to work, even if there were work to I' So long as so much misery exists in Europe, America must expect.- White. . ,- Miss White visited England, Den? mark, Germany and Austria.

She called atten- tion to the high maternal mortality— ' 23,000 mothers died in the United States in 1920—and made a plea for cooperative hospitals. These, she said, might be erected by groups of coun- ties and stock bought by farmers. Mrs. Barbara H.

In this way each woman may find help for her own par- ticular puzzlement. Home dyeing was discussed and demonstrated Tuesday by Miss Martha J. Phillips. Mary Sweeney welcomed the guests, while Mrs. Dora Stockman presided. During the afternoon Miss Helen Arms gave a demonstration of children’s clothing and Professor Gibbons dis- cussed nutrition problems.

' The need for dental inspection of school children was stressed by Dr. R. W. Bunting, secretary of the Dental College, University of Michigan, and president of the State Dental Associa- tion. Dr. Bunting declared that dental inspection in city schools revealed large numbers of children with infect- ed mouths and decayed and abcessed teeth, which directly affect the health 'of the child.

Different varieties of peas, as well as oats, have quite a range of matur- ity. In our tests we have found that the Wolverine oats, the French June and Chang field peas mature about the same time and give excellent results for hay. , If the Marrowfat field pea is to be grown it will take a very late variety of cats; however, the Marrowfat is more frequently used for grain pur- . poses. The use of acid phosphate would, tend to hasten the maturity of both the oats and the peas. Most of the field pea seed that is produced in'Michigan is grown in the Thumb or in the northern part of the state.

For roughage I am feeding good corn silage and shock corn that has but very few ears in the stalks with a .very small amount of clover hay once a day. What kind of feed could I leave out of this ration and get equally good results? Later on in the winter I will be feeding corn- stalks and clover hay. How would I change the feed at that time for the ’best results?—‘—0 P. The grain mixture you are feeding It is lower in protein, " fed wi 15.5 per cent total protein.

This mixture contains 20.5 per cent total protein. Six “pounds of this mix- ture will supply the same amount of protein that eight pounds of your mix- ture, and while one pound will cost a fraction of a cent more, the daily grain requirement for a cow producing 2.5 pounds of milk when using this mix- ture will cost from one to two cents less. It is also sufficiently bulky and palatable and when fed with silage suf- ficiently laxative.

The crop is beautifully blue this year and a foot thick. We do not need it now, to be sure, but when we look ahead we know there will be hot days next sum- mer, and then is when we will appre- ciate the delicious coolneSs of ,it. Then is when it keeps the'butter from run- ning. It Cools the drink, and freezes .thedce cream. It is indeed refreshing in many ways, and it is then that we appreciate having it handy.

Jack Doris across the corner, but “Un- cle J a c k geod old scout, So it is a case of all “ante” now and all “take” next summer." Every- body that plays now is still in the game next sum-. mer, and we are sure to win if we don’t weaken. Down on the river a mile and a half away a couple of the boys have an ice plow and other convenient tools for cutting ice rapidly. They make it a business each winter to cut up ice for a dozen or more ice houses in the com- munity. They are able to make rea- sonably good wages at three cents a cake-less when the _ice is thinner— and we get our'supply from them. It makes a very convenient arrangement all around and mighty satisfying when the hot days come. Delousing. Now don’t get excited friends, we are still discussing the hogs and cat- tle. Perhaps we should be'slow to admit that we sometimes have lice to fight on our pure-bred hogs and cattle. It seems to be a fact, however, that blue blood tastes just as good to 'a louse as scrub blood, and only con- stant attention will prevent them from taking their toll. In years past when we used to buy feeder cattle from many different sources the lice were as sure to be with us as the horns, and both had to be eliminated. We have been able to keep the pure-bred s’tock comparatively free from the blood- sucking parasites most of the year, but with the return of each winter, when they must be withdrawn from their natural habitat, and kept much of the time in confinement, out of the sun- shine and out of the rain, the little parasitic insects appear from some- where and like Mike Flannery’s “dago pigs,” they multiply very rapidly. If allowed to have their ,own way, the toll they take is enormous. The profit- eering middleman has nothing on them. It is not a difficult matter, how- ever, to keep them in check,.but it is one of the details in the live stock game that must be attended to. They are like the weeds in the corn, the longer they remain the worse the rob- bery. ‘ ’ We like best togive the battle, one ‘at a time, a good scrubbing with a sixty per cent solution of a good coal tar dip, using water with the chill tak- en ofl, and tar soap. The Operator is . subject to a good dipping also, but it r' is perfectly harmless and he will sur- f. ’. a: vive. This treatment is very healthful, leaving the skin and coat clean and comfortable, but it is somewhat out of pi ‘e in extreme weather. Care. should is a be taken that, the animal does not chill and take cold when the wet treat- ment is used in the winter. A practice that has been used in this community for many years is simple, safe, efficient, and fairly satisfactory. It consists in applying in a dust form, a mixture of equal parts of fine dairy salt and flours of sulphur to which is added about ten per cent of any good insect powder. In applying this we take an empty tin coffee can, punch the bottom of it full of holes with a nail, and use it far a shaker. ' With this in' one hand and an open-back currycomb in-the other, the dope can be sifted downthrough the hair to the skin, over the rump, back, neck, and shoulders where the robbers like to congregate. They are easily suffocat- ed by this method. The sulphur and insect powder doing the choking act, while the salt acts as a carrier. This method is not so clean or so thorough as the dip, but it is much easier and more quickly applied and it keeps the lice in check. A couple of applica— tions ten days or two weeks apart are sufficient for any one season with eith~ er method. With the hogs there are many ways of destroying the lice which are sure to be present wherever hogs are, un- less some effective measure is adopted to prevent. We used to think that if we could once eliminate them entirely we would be free from them ever after but the job of eliminating is still going on. I sometimes think they may be a blessing in disguise, for in the process of destroying or preventing them, the hog’s body and his bed gets a' renovat- ing that, in the absence of such‘an in- stigator, might be neglected. It mat- ters little the method one uses, just so he gets the lice. I have tried the dipping tank, and found it effective but almost impossible to get the hogs through it. after the first experience. I have seen dozens of patent hog oil- ers in operation, and where one of them has been giving service the 0th~ er eleven have been dry. Some people fix a rubbing post and wrap it with gunny sacks which are saturated from time to time with dip or oil. I find an ordinary watering pot with the holes in the nozzle enlarged with a small nail, and a can of a good coal tar dip handy to the water supply about the easiest and surest method. One can do a thorough job in a good-sized herd of? hogs in less time and with less ef- fort than it would take to put one will- ful pig into the dip tank, or clean up and reload ’one patent hog oiler. I like to go over the shoats while at the trough, or in a close pen. The big heavy hogs will flop down to. rub them- selves when the dip begins to bite and give one a good opportunity to do a thorough job. THE AGE OF CATTLE. UYING cows for production and breeding purposes is an important item in the annual business of the farmers of the state. Age is a factor which enters into the determination of animals being bargained for. But it is harder to tell the age of a cow than it is of a horse. The cow’s horns and teeth furnish means of age de- termination. On the horns, count the “annual rings” and add two. In the mouth, one pair of permanent teeth, upper and " lower, indicates 'eighteen months of age; two pairs, twenty-sev- en months; three pairs, thirty-six months, and four pairs, forty-five months. It will be noted that each ‘pair ‘of permanent teeth comes nine months after the other. ,; ... 5%; “; "It", I' u.“ / / I / ‘ / K5 fireman“ , 3r / /AA (‘ ' 'b ’ . ' ~ )’ ? a or Income . The Government’s nation-wide farm man- agement survey shows that the farmers getting the largest return for their own labor and man- agerial ability are those who grow_ larger-than— ordinary crops with the intelhgent use of fertilizers. “Intelligent use” means more than proper application. It means selecting fertilizers that are RIGHT—in, formula, availability, mechani- . cal condition; goods evenly mixed, chemically blended and in good drillable condition. A A C Quality Fertilizers are right—whether you buy them under the “A A C” brand, or under any of the familiar names now associated with this great organization.

' ' HAT Michigan holds an enviable place in the production and cer- tification of quality seed was ' made evident when Dean G., 1. Christie cf Purdue University, general manager of the ”International Grain & Hay Show, stated that Indiana, Illinois, New York and many other states were looking to Michigan for guaranteed seed and that this state had assumed the leadership in organization for the maintenance of seed standards that are doing so much to place crop pro- ~ ductidn on a more stable and profit- able bdsis. » . . He emphasized the importance of standardization and quality ‘for more efficient production and cited the nota- ble example of Rosen rye and Red Rock wheat in Michigan and corn in Indiana to show thatwquality and prof- itable yields went hand in hand. Corn from the Indiana grower who won first at the 1920. International was tested along with several other strains and was found not only to be free of dis- ease but was the best producer of all those tested, a seventeen—acre field yielding 109 bushels per acre. Dean Christie took sharp issue with those who are promoting a campaign to lower the corn acreage in the Unit- ed States. “We have absolutely no power to control the output,” he said. \“This year people are crying great ov- erproduction in corn because 108,000,- 000 acres have produced over 3,000,- 000,000 bushels, but in 1909 with the same acreage there was produced only slightly more than 2,000,000,000 bush- els, which would mean a shortage.” “Farmers can not be jumpers,” he continued, “there is too much tendency to jump in and then jump out again with ‘the result that the ‘jumping in’ usually comes when prices go down and"jumping out’ when they go back up again. With nine dollar hogs or with the present dairy market one still can make money by feeding thir- ty per cent corn.” He believes this to be an excellent time to balance up the cropping sys- tem for permanent agriculture that will maintain the soil fertility and lay a foundation for the years to come. L. Whitney Watkins, member.of the State Board of Agriculture, and pres- ident of the association, told of the progress of the work by this, the pion- eer organization in crop improvement and stressed the necessity of contin- uing on a bigger and broader scale than ever, that the work of the college for better crop production might con- ' tinue to be effective. It was his belief that theleadership Michigan had assumed along lines of agricultural organization was due to the splendid calibre of the men and women on her farms. “The Farmers’ Bloc,” he said, “is a recognition by men other than farmers, that agricul- ture must have opportunity for growth and development equal to that of any other industry if America is to contin- ue to produce her own food supply.” J. W. Nicolson, manager of the Farm Bureau Seed Department, told of the greatly increased demand for Michi- gan pedigreed seeds in other states, particularly New York, and also at home. Eighty per ,cent of the depart- ment’s business within the state is through cooperative organizations and this is a most effectiVe way of bring- varieties in large areas. Fred Mock, assistant manager of the seed department, urged the production of cleaner seed on the farm if Michi- gan is to maintain her reputation for all .quality. “Cleaning machinery~can only take out a small percentage of many weed seeds,” he said, “and only by utmost care “in production can we be assured of a quality of seed that Will bring» the best price.’f ‘ ing about beneficial standardization of ‘ cmg State § A new office, Supervisor of Introduc- tions and Inspections was created and G. W. Putnam placed in charge. He outlined plans for increasing the 8111- . ciency- of this work and maintaining quality by a system where certain growers each year would be designat- ed as a source of parent seed from which others whose product was\of lesser quality might renew their stock from time to time. The association went on record as favoring a. tariff of three cents a pound on all imported clover seed and furth- er' favored the enactment of 9. law re- quiring that all imported seed be lab- eled as to its country of origin. ,, This action was taken because the clover seed producing areas in Michigan, Wis- consin and other states, can readily be extended and this seed is much superior to foreign seed for use in this country. H. C. Rather, who recently succeed- ed A. L. Bibbins as secretary-treasurer urged an increase in the acreage of pedigreed seed for certification. OVer 15,000 bushels of certified seed cats were sold for seed purposes in 1921, while the season of 1922 found an even greater demand with gnly about half as much seed available. "We are Just beginning to scratch the surface,” he said, “for last year’s record business amounted to less than one per cent of the grain Seed used in Michigan.”- The board of directors was increas- ed to include six members and officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, L. Whitney Watkins, of Manchester; viceepresldent, A. 13. Cook, Owosso; directors, Garfield Farley, of Albion; F. F. Cornair, of Chesaning; Ralph 'Arbogast, of: Newberry; George Starr, of Grass Lake; Earl C. McCarty, of Bad Axe. ' ' J. F. Cox, Professor of Farm Crops; F. A. Spragg, Plant Breeder, and J. W. Nicolson, Manager of the Farm Bureau Seed Department, sit. with the board of directors by virtue of their position. The board of directors was author- ized to fill by appointment the posi- tions of secretary-treasurer, superin- tendent of introductions and inspec- .tions, and clerk, and these are now taken care of respectively by Howard C. Rather and G. W. Putnam, exten-‘ sion specialists in farm crops, and Mrs. Catherine Clark—H. C. R. THE FARM CROPS EXHIBITS. HE farm crops exhibit placed in the pavilion of the Agricultural Building at M. A. C. just as it appeared at the International Grain & Hay Show at Chicago last fall, was probably one of the most striking exhibits seen at the college during Farmers’ Week. The slogan which has been adopted of "Bet- ter Crops” and “Better Live Stock,” Was written across the green back- ground in' big letters. A picture of two M. A. C. girls holding two Belgian horses was shown mounted besides sheaves of wheat and other crops products, making a very picturesque display. The central part of the pavilion was taken up by the competitive- grain samples sent in by producers on which premiums were awarded. Staple crops such as corn, winter wheat, rye, oats and barley took up the greater part of, the space—T. ‘ / When Uncle Oren Hall asked Alvy which side to milka cow on, Alvy said he thbught it would, work best on the outside.

The cellar of this structure contained the water supply tank and force pump as well as a gasoline engine and the lighting plant. A shaft with pulleys near the ceiling of the cellar permitted the op- erator to hook up the engine with that and thus perform several operations, such as .. running a washing machine and grindstone all at the same time. A great many types of gasoline en- gines were displayed about the labor- " atory. In addition an acetylene gas . \ lighting plant was shown. Opposite this lighting plant was displayed an ideal little water supply outfit which the faucet were opened the pump would draw cold water from the well; if it were closed it would draw hot water from the hot water tank. The tractor laboratory where the four weeks’ tractor school was in pro- gress was also open. for inspection by visitors. Many farmers came to this place during the week and looked over the group of tractors which included twelve to fifteen up—to-date machines of the makes in most common use. The farm mechanics department was represented in the big, all-college par- ade by all of the equipment owned and in use by the department, including ev- erything from the eleven-ton road roll- er down to the baby tractor.—-T. EXHIBIT OF FRIENDLY ENEMIES. ANY farmers are killing their best friends, namely the snakes which ‘rid the farm of injurious ani- mals, and birds such as certain spe- cies of hawks which do good instead of harm. I’ersonal likes and dislikes, coupled with erroneous beliefs that since one snake is harmful all are harmfultand that a hawk is a hawk and should- be killed, are some of the reasons why these animals are killed. The exhibit of harmful and helpful birds, snakes, etc., was placed in the pavilion of the Agricultural Building during Farmers’ Week at M. A. C., to l; . show visitors which animals were ‘1 . harmful and which were helpful to the U . interests of the farmer.—T. Milk is baby’s building material.

Ev- ery county in the state saVe one had authorized delegates present at this session, a total of 119 delegates re- sponding to roll call. Interest was keen throughOut, and occasionally is- sues were hotly contested. However, the delegates showed a solid united front on all important matters ceming up for their consideration and the out- look is most encouraging for the build- ing of a. great farmers’ service insti- tution. Following the usual order of busi- ness, General Manager Clark L. Brody presented his “annual report. Mr. Brody pointed out that the past year had been used in preserving and adap- ting the organization to the problems of the membership. During the year substantial progress had been made in organization building. The various de- partments have been placed on an. effi- cient economic basis, while commodity marketing organizations have been recognized and promoted and their various interests are being harmonized into one large federation of interest. The harmonious'relationship exist- ing between the big commodity organ~ izations in the state and the experi- ence of the past demonstrate that the plan now being followed is sound and should be made the permanent policy of the organization. Mr. Brody stated that the welding of these big organiza- tions made up largely of farm bureau of the splitting off of any of these 1111 ge blocks of farm bureau members and assures the great fundamental object for which the organization was created -—-one that will represent and speak for all the farmers of Michigan. An important feature of the year’s work has been the working out of economies. During the year payroll and expense accounts have been reduc- ed at least $35,000, while atthe same time Mr. Brody reported that the net worth of the organization has risen from a. net deficitof $15,215 to a net worth of $111,545. He stated that a much better showing could have been made had membership dues been more closely paid up. Several causes seem- ed responsible for this condition: The stringent financial situation of the farmer; poor methods of collection; propaganda of opposing interests; lack of accurate information on the work of the bureau and the inefficiency of some of the departments. Improve- ment has been made, however, in this work and the outlook is most hopeful. ,The future membership activities, the work on traffic problems, the leg- islative program of the past year, the study of the taxation question, the ac— complishments of the ’seed department and other organization plans were ex- plained by the manager who believes that the Michigan farmers ,are new building an organization that is not being equaled in any other state in the Union Treasurer’s Report. The report of the accounting depart- ment shows that during the past year the total receipts of the State Farm Bureau amounted to $247, 621. 32, while the disbursements totaled $245, 022. 34, leaving a. balance on hand January 31, 1922, of $2,538.98. In a condensed . statement the total assets of the or- ganization outside of dues receivable, were $335, 485‘. 88. and the total net worth is given as $111,545.10.

Constitution Amended. A number of amendments to the con- stitution were made to conform the organization,to modern business prin- , ciples and to. adapt it to the new-plan of commodity Oiganization. A board of eleven directors will now manage the ai‘faiis of the organization. The membeis will be elected by the board of delegates in annual meeting. Each commodity organization shall select one nomination to be voted upOn' by , the board of delegates, while the re maining directors shall be elected at large. Their election shall be for a. period of one year. Meetings of the board shall be held every two months or on special call and a majority of the board shall constitute a quorum. The directors shall execute the poli- cies of the association as determined by the board of delegates and manage the affairs, disperse funds, judge quali- fications of membership and appoint and employ the agents necessary to* carry on the work. Vacancies are to be filled by the board of directors pro- vided that in case a member represent- ing a commodity organization is to be selected .then that organization will nominate and the board of directors approve the selection. The changes also provide that the officers of the State Farm Bureau shall be elected by the board of directors. These officers are: President, vice- president, treasurer and secretary. Members of the board of directorsmay be recalled at any special or regular meeting of the board of delegates upon proper notification. No official may hold any public elective or appointive office. except in the management or control of educational, administrative or regulatory institutions having to do piimaiily with agricultuie. This last pioviso was debated on the floor, but was overwhelmingly adopted by a vote of 102 to sixteen. .Directors for 1922. The following constitutes the board of directors at large and for the vari- ous commodity organizations for the ensuing year: James Nicol, of South Haven; L. Whitney Watkins, Manches- ter; George Friday, Coloma; E. E. McCarty, Bad Axe; Melvin B. McPher- son, Lowell; Mrs. Edith M. Wagar, Carleton; A. T. Depue, Faithorn; Michigan Elevator Exchange, W. E.

Noon, Jackson. Taxation Recommendations. Michigan’s taxation system has been given careful study by the state’s farm organizations. The State Farm Bureau appointed a committee consist- ing of Melvin B. McPherson, John C. Near, T. G. Meggison and Gifford Patch. This committee .prepared a. report which was laid before the taxa- tion investigation committee on Feb- ruary 1, when farmers were given a hearing. A committee of the State Grange, consisting of N. P. Hull, C. D. Bramble and James N. McBride sub-- mitted a similar report from that or. ganization. The Gleaners of Michigan were also represented by N. P. Simp- son. The following recommendations growing out of the study made by the faim organization committees were adopted by the delegates of the State Farm Bureau and-recommended to the consideration of the state’s citizenship and to her legislature: The Michigan State Farm Bureau, through its committee on Taxation, re- spectfully presents the follow ‘ ‘ (Canopy fl Bud»; ‘ Passage $1.7m AN- semen-run. ‘ "A-L‘COMMUNI‘I'Y. AN BUREN county may be said > to be strictly rural. And not only is Van Buren an agricultural county, it is a county of greatly diver- sified agriculture. While leading the state iii grape production there are only three shipping points in the coun- _ ty that" are really grape centers and even around these centers not more than-ten per cent of the land is in vine- yards While the county over not more than two per cent of the cultivated land is set to grapes. The same may be said- of apples, pears, peaches or other fruit. Not more than ten per cent of the county is set to fruit and not more than twenty per cent of the farmers are growing fruit on a com- mercial scale. This relatively small acreage and relative small number of growers make the “Fruit Belt” known far and'wide, but as a matter of fact, the average farmer is growing corn, wheat, oats, rye and potatoes, the cream can is the greatest agency for meeting the grocery bill, and a few ' hogs at tax time are largely depended upon to meet this Obligation. In ad- dition to her staple crops and produc- tions there are about three thousand acres set to- peppermint and Spearmint . and these low grounds also produce celery, onions, and cabbage in large amounts. Van Buren county has a large number of poultry specialists and some apiaries. ~ Now a county with agricultural re- sources so. varied is never influenced by failures and overproduction to the extent that communities with a single staple crop are. This year the bee men had the best year ever known, ‘ apple-orchards paid a big profit, grapes paid expenses, as did also small fruit, pickle growers had a record year, but peaches were almost a total failure, mint growers lost heavily, while the stock and grain farmers, the eighty per cent, were hard hit and are in need of ready money. The tendency of all of us is to judge the, future by the immediate past and the farmers who mademoney this year are inclined to be optimistic while the great majority who had a bad year do not look for big things in 1922. In spite, however, of these condi- tions, more ,or less adverse, there are indications that are hopeful and point to better days on the farm and a bet- ter year in 1922. There were few auc- " tions this fall, which goes to show that the farmer is looking for better times and is holding on. Better methods in agriculture are being worked out. Dur- ing the war grain farming was promot- ed by the government and- more grain has been produced the last few years than ever before. Such a system has been hard on the fertility of the soil and this year was not profitable. The farmers are turning to the dairy cow 'and alfalfa. A nine-day, seventy-two meeting program along this line has just been completed by the farm bu- reau and extension service of the ag- ricultural college and was largely at- tended. A system of “corn, clover, cow” farming builds up the soil and produc- es a product for which there is always a demand. \Other favorable indications are seen in better types of farm stock and in standardization of farm prod- ucts. Cooperative associations have made great advances during the past. year. Farm homes are steadily being improved and made modern. Agents for lighting. plants, both electric and gas, have done a big business in the' cOunty in spite of hard times. «More farm boys and girls are in high schools and colleges than ever before, all of which goes to "show, that down deep in 3111s heart the ayerage farmer believes “that 1922 will be a year of greater re The Perfect Ear of Com Notice the good sound‘kernels from end to medal which he won on his corn and the '” end and the well filled c‘ob from butt to tip. congratulations he received on this excel- And most of all—notice closely, the big lent crop. heavy ear and hard flinty corn. ‘ Yet—his success as a corn grower is, not mys- This is the kind of corn that won the prize at terious—but a result of mixing brains with Purdue UniVCI‘SItY for M!" .l A~ Warren, 0f .labor and the liberal use of Federal Ferti- Grasmere Farms, ' lizer.

Films will be used to illustrate the lectures. TUBERCULOSIS ERADICATION. OGEBIC county, through its board of supervisors, plans a campaign to eradicate tuberculosis from the cat,- tle herds of the county. Farmers are being asked to sign agreements that they will submit to the slaughter of their cattle if tuberculosis is discov- ered, and it is proposed that the coun- ty employ a veterinarian in March or April to make the necessary examina- tions. School teachers of the county are cooperating in the circulation of these agreements. A NEW FISH HATCHERY. 0 IT is announced that the new state fish hatchery, located at Thompson, Schoolcraft county, will be finished before the construction of new hatch- eries is attempted. This hatchery will provide both game and commercial fish spawn. That this district will have three additional hatcheries is stated by the State Department of Conserva- tion. These will be located in Mar~ quette county, the copper country and 'iron country between Iron Mountain and \Vatersmeet, it is stated. Good sites for hatcheries are not as readily secured as some suppose. For one thing, it is important to have a pure source for the water supply. .., . POWER SAW TESTED. NEW power-driven saw for felling tree‘s was recently demonstrated near Sidnaw, southern Houghton coun— (‘5 ty. It is stated that it felled a tree in thirty seconds, thirty inches in diam- eter. The saw is operated by two men and was introduced from Sweden. MENOMINEE A PACKING CENTER. ENOMINEE is developing a meat packing industry. Its plant, last year, produced 729,000 pounds of sau- sage, and its total sales of this and other products are reported to have amodnted to some $300,000, while it 'paid out to farmers for cattle, sheep and hogs some $200,000. The animals slaughtered at the plant included 1,201 cattle, 2,215 calves, 2,668 hogs, and 291 -sheep. Ham, bacon and lard are im- ' portant. products. The local market for live stock is regarded" as of import- ance to the farmers of the territory. I .AN AGRICULTURAL AND_lNDUS. ' TRIAL CONFERENCE. gHE industrial and agricultural con- ' ference held under the auspices of Upper Peninsula Development ' ureau at Escanaba, January 25, was '1 unusually successful affair. All p'rtions of the peninsula were repre- “II-ted «at the meeting and a program (9 . , Of this program, those por- whlch..were particularly related _shot and left in the woods and had old bounty system over $300,000 were and he states that there is good evi- dence that hides of coyotes were ship~ ped into the state from the west to get the bounty, instancing the presenta-, tion .of claims for $8,000 on the part of two trappers for a single season’s“.

Livingston, land'- clearing expert of the Michigan Agri- cultural College, on the work of the State Farm Bureau by Mike Noon, vice-president of the Michigan State Farm Bureau, on community work in relation to leisure heur activities, by H. H. Hughes, director of the Delta County Industrial Relations AssociaLw tion, on the “Roosevelt Highway, by A. W. Tracy; secretary of the.Roose- velt International Highway Associa- tion, Duluth, and on Bee-keeping, .by B. F. Kindig, of the State Department of Agriculture. These talks were all tothe point, and constructive. They were listened to with close attention. THE ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY. MR. A. W. TRACY, of Duluth, re- ports that all but sixteen miles of Michigan’s section of the Roosevelt International Highway are now com- pleted. The uncompleted section is in the eastern counties, chiefly Mackinac. This is the highway now known in the upper peninsula as the Cloverland Trail, running from Ironwood, through the southern part of the peninsula, to St. -lgnace. An alternative northern route is in the process of construction from Sault Ste. Marie, by way of Mar- quette and the copper country, but will not be completed for two or three years yet. Mr. Tracy made plain, how- ever, that the southern route would be the true “Roosevelt Highway.” FOR CONSERVING WILD LIFE. MR. E. C. VOGHT,‘ of Escanaba, president of the Northern Michi-E gan Sportsmen’s Association, dwelt on the importance of conserving our re- maining wild life, if we are to have any at all. He thought that the part- ridge Season should be made to con- form to the open deer season, so as to keep hunters out of the woods until the deer season has opened. He pro- nounced the tone-buck law a success, and this seems to be the consensus of upper peninsula opinion. He had in- vestigated many reports of does being found nearly all of them unfounded. He thought that, in making game laws, the upper peninsula, which has most of the wild game, had not been duly consulted by the legislature, and it was the purpose of the Northern Michigan Sportsmen’s Association to secure ad- equate attention to this section in fu- ture legislation on the subject of game. He.was certain of full cooperation on the part of real sportsmen in the lower peninsula. WILD ANIMAL HUNTERS}; THIRTY-FIVE predatory animal hunters are to be placed in the upper peninsula to clean up wolves and other noxious animals, says the Iron MountainrDaily News. The ex- pense is to be paid out of' the proceeds from the sales of deer licenses—~$1.00 out of the $2.50 charged for every resi- dent license, and $15 out.of the $50 charged for each non-resident license going for this purpose. ‘ While the new system of dealing with predatory ani- mals has: been criticized, Mr. David R. Jones of the State Department of Con- servation, points out that under the paid out in bounties in a single year, Fort la (on P960 Soil Tested , .45“ areas 99.- .._\ I. " ‘ . ‘| I . , i, 1 I?

Mr. Warden, who 33 appeared to have known ‘more about ~.«.«.«.«I«M “O... .39, Eaton than any one else, had taken Ea- '“"”””"l ”” ‘ ton’s side; it was because he had been larly. I’ve started What inquiries are going to help Eaton that Mr. Warden had been killed. Would not her father be ready to help Eaton, then, if he knew as much about him as Mr. War- " den had known? But Mr. Warden, ap- parently, had kept what he knew even from his own wife; and Eaton was now keeping it from every one—~her father included. She felt that her father 'had understood and appreciated all this long, before herself—wthat it was the reason for his attitude toward Eaton on the train and, in part,‘ the caIISe of his considerate treatment of him all through. She sensed for the first time how great her father’s perplexity must be; but she felt, too, how terrible the injustice must have been that Eaton .had suffered, since he himself did not ‘ dare to tell it even to herfather and since, to hide it, other men did not' stop short of double murder. So, instead of being estranged by Eaton’s manner to her father, she felt an impulse of feeling toward him flood- ing her, a feeling which she tried to explain to herself as sympathy. But it was not just sympathy; she would not say even to herself what it was. She got up suddenly and went to the door and looked into the hall; a ser- vant came to her. “Is Mr. Avery still viii! Mr. Saar toine‘t” she asked. “No, Miss Santana; out.” ' “How long ago?” “About ten minutes.” “Thank you.” She went back, and bundling the cor- respondence together as it had been before, she removed the books from a shelf to the left of the door, slid back another panel and revealed the second wall-safe corresponding to the one to .the right of the door from which she had taken the papers. The combina- j tion of this second safe was known only to her father and herself. She put the envelopes into it, closed it, and replaced the books. Then she went to her father’s desk, took from a drawer a long typewritten report of which he had asked her to prepare a digest, and read it through; consciously concen- trating, she began her work. The ser- vant came at one to tell her luncheon was served, but—immersed now—she ordered her luncheon brought to the study. At three she heard Avery’s mo- he has gone I tor, and went to the study door and”, looked out as he entered the hall. “What have you found out, Don?” she inquired. “Nothing yet, Harry.” “You got no trace of them?” “No; too many motors pass on the road for the car to be recalled particu- AL flCRES—fl/ [5 Elevated to a Nice Cool Job. possible and arranged to have the road watched in case they come back this way.” He went past her and up to her father. “She returned to the study hard put away her work; we called the star Thles on the house telephone and order- ed her saddle-horse; and going to her rooms and changing to her riding-habit she rode till five. Returning, she dress- .ed for dinner, and going down at sev- en, she found Eaton, Avery and Blatch- ford awaiting. her. The meal was served in the great Jacobean dining-room, with walls pan- By mile»: Machy and Edwin Balmer Copyright 'w um: 8mm: a Company «we. «w». a Before Eaton‘s entrance intoher life she had supposed that some tune, as a matter of course, she was going to mar- ry Donald. In spite of this, she had never thought of herself as apart from liner fat-her; when she thought of mar- mag, it had b‘een always with the idea that herdnty to her husband must be secondary to that to her father; she knew now that she had accepted Don- ald Amery not because he had become necessary to her but because he had seemed essential to her father and her marrying Donald would permit her life to go on much as it was. Till recently," Avery’s complaisance, his certainty ill sled to the high ceiling, logs blazing in the big stone fireplace. As they seated them-selves, seemed moody and unmmmnnicative; something, clearly, had irritated and disturbed him; and as the meal pro- gressed, he vented his irritation upon Eaton by affronting him more openly by word and look than he had ever done before in her presence. She was the more surprised at his doing this' now, bcczfuse she knew that Donald must have received from her father the same instructions as had been giv- en herself to learn whatever was pos- sible of Eaton’s former position in life. Eaton, with his customary self-control, met Avery’s offensiveness with an equability which almost disarmed it. Instinctively she tried to help him in this. But now she found that he met and put aside her assistance in the same way. , , _ The change in his attitude toward her which she had noted'first during their walk that morning had not dimin- ished since his talk with her father but, plainly, had increased. He was almost openly now including her among those who opposed him. As that feeling which she‘called sympathy had come to her when she realized that what he himself had suffered must be the reason for his attitude toward her father, so now it only came more strongly when she saw him take the same attitude toward herself; and as she felt it, she found she was feeling more and more away from Donald Av— ery. Donald’s manner toward Eaton was forcing her to invoice exactly her companionship with Donald. she noted that Avery- V that it must be only a matter of time before he would win her; had been the most definite—aimost the only defin- . ablee—fault she had found with ‘her father’s confidential agent; now her sense of many other faults in him only , marked the distance she had drawn away from him. If Harriet Santoine coulld define her own present~estimate of Avery, it was that he did not differ in any essential particular from those men whose correspondence had so hor- rified her that afternoon. Donald had social position and a cer- tain amount of wealth and power; now suddenly she was feeling that he had nothing but those things, that his own unconscious admission was that to be. worth while he must have them, that to' retain and increase them was his only object in life. She had the feeling that these were the only things he would fight for; but. that for these he would fight—fairly, perhaps, if he could‘ -——'bu't,vif he must, unfairly, despicably. She had finished dinner, but :she hesitated to rise and leave the men alone; after-dinner. cigars and the fic- tion of a masculine conversation about, the table were insisted 'on by Blatch- ford. As she delayed, looking across the table at Eaton, his eyes met hers; reassured, she rose at once; the three rose with her and stood while she went out. She went upstairs and looked in upon her father; he wanted nothing, and after a conversation with him as short as she could make it, she came down again. No further disagreement between the two men, apparently, had happened after she left the’table. Av- §£'&3%fiw”«“33'3&3933$33%33‘3%3% "33334849 . V ‘ ery now was not visible. Eaton and Blatchford were in the music-room; as she went to them, she saw that Eatnn had me sheets of music in’ his hand. So now, with a mepugnance against her , (father’s miners which she had never felt before, she hogan to carry out lihe instructions her father had given .her. “You play, Mr. men?" she asked. “I’m afraid not,” he smiled. t “Really don’t you?” “Only drum a little sometimes, Miss ‘Santoine? Won’t yorumlay?” She saw that they were songs wh‘mh he had been examining. “Oh, you sing!” , - He could not effectively deny it. She ‘ . sat down at her piano and ran over the songs and selections frOm the new op- era. He followed her with the delight of a music—lover long away from an in- strument. He sang with her a couple of songs; he had a good, unassuming tone. And as she went through the musi‘c, she noticed that he was famil- iar with almost everything she had liked which had been written or was ‘ current up to five years before; all lat- er music was strange to him. To this extent he had been of her world, plain- ly, hp to‘five years before; then "he had gone out of it. , 'She realized this only as something which she was to report to her father; 'yet she felt a keener, more personal interest in it than that. Harriet San- toine knew enough of the world to know that few men break completely all social connections without some link of either fact or memory still holding them, and that this link most often is a woman. So now, instinctive- ly, she found, she was selecting among the music on the racks arias of lost, disappointed or‘ unhappy love. But she saw that Eatonfs interest in :these songs appeared no different from his interest in Mrs; it was, ad faras she con-1d tell, for their music he cared for them—not because they recalled to him any personal recollection. 'So far as her music could assure her, then, . there was—and had been—no woman in Eaton’sr life- whose memory made poignant his break with his world. " Presently she desisted and turned to other sorts of music.- Toward ten o’clock, after She had stopped playing, he excused himself and went to his words. She sat for a time, idly talking with Blatchford; then, as a servant passed through the hall and she mis— took momentarily his footsteps for those of Avery, she got up suddenly and went upstairs. It was only after reaching her own rooms that she ap< preciated that the meaning of this ac- tion was that she shrank from seeing Avery again that night. But she had been in her rooms only a few minutes when her house telephone buzzed, and (Continued on page 172). '——By Fran} R.

It means more to the na- tion each passing year, because. the more we think of Lincoln, and the more we observe other men, the great- er does the Civil War president ap- pear.’ And, who would have thought it? Here comes a brand new book, called “Lincoln and Prohibition," writ- ten by the political news editor of the New York Tribune, Charles T. White. Personally, I would not have thought there was enough material on the sub- ject to fill a book of two hundred odd pages. And it is full of interest from cover to cover. There is small com- - fort in it for the men who are fight- ing the eighteenth amendment. For instance, there is the ancient story that Lincoln kept a grocery stere, and sold whiskey over the counter, - as was the cus- tom in those days. Lincoln’s partner was a Mr. Berry. Berry’s idea was“ that, as honey catch- es flies, whiskey would catch custom- ers. But Lincoln opposed this, and when the whiskey barrel came in, Lin- coln stepped out of the partnership. Leonard Swett, a close friend of Lin-_ coln, and a fellow-lawyer, states that Lincoln told him a year before his election as president, that he had nev- er tasted liquor. “What!” said Swett, “do you mean to say that you never» tasted it?” “Yes,” said Lincoln, “I never tasted it." When thirty-three years of age, he delivered a long speech on prohibition, in the Second Presbyterian Church, of3 Springfield, Illinois. One paragraph reads thus: “And when the victory shall be com- plete, when there shall be neither a slave nor a drunkard on the earth, how proud the title of that land, which may truly claim to be the birth-place and the cradle of both those revolu- tions that shall have ended in that victory!” ‘ N 1863, President Lincoln was wait- ed on by a, deputation of the Sons of Temperance in behalf of suppress- ing the drink evil in the arrhy, and to the committee he said:' “If I were better known than I am, you would not need to be told that in the advo- cacy of the cause of temperance you have a friend and sympathizer in me. When I was a young man—long before the Sons of Temperance as an organi— zation had an existencefiI, in a hum- ble way, made temperance speeches, and I think I may say that to this day I have never, by my example, belied what I then said. I think that the reasonable people of the .world have long since agreed that intemperance is one of the greatest, if not the very greatest, of all evils of mankind." A prohibition law was introduced" into the"Illinois legislature in 1855, and Lincoln went about speaking for it. On one occasion, he walked six miles into the country to speak at a. small schoolhouse. - A' still more interesting event is con: nected with Mr. Lincoln’s notification ‘of his nomination for the presidency. When the committee had been at his home a little while, Lincoln said: f‘Mrs. ’Li‘ncoln' will be pleased to see you in the other'room, gentlemen. You will be thirsty after your long journey. You will find something refreshing in the library}: The' committee lost no time in arriving in the library. But the 0on drink at their disposal was ‘a‘pitcher of cold. water, to the im- ’ ‘ ‘ disappointment of“ some of the require some wines or liquors for his 'the times the bill finally passed. Had men, whose mouths were all set for something stronger. The night before, the committee came, friends of the rail-splitter said to him that he would distinguished guests. “I haven't any in the house,” said Lincoln. “We will furnish them,” said the neighbors. “Gentlemen, I cannot allow you to do what I will not do myself.” This was not all. Other generous friends sent over some baskets of champagne. Mr. Lincoln sent them back, ”with thanks for their intended kindness. HEN Lincoln became president, he sent a man, Merwin by name,‘ into the army, with a special passport, to go and“ speak on temperance. Mr. Merwin was heartily welcomed by Gen- erals Scott, Butlereand others. Accord- ing to General L. C. Baker, provost marshal of the war department, and afterward chief of the United States Secret Service, there were three thou- sand seven hundred places where; liquor was sold near Washington inf the summer of 1863. On the eve of an: important battle, it was necessary to% get one hundred wagons to the front?I at once, but scarcely five governrnentil teamsters were found to be ,soberi enough to do their work. The battleI of Chancellorsville, which was a de-" feat of the Union Army when there? was every seemingchance of victory, was a fearful blow to the north. Sec-' cretary of the Navy Welles states in his diary, that, “Whiskey is said by Sumner to have done the work.” He refers to Senator Sumner, of Massa» chusetts. The president seemed stun-l ned by the defeat. His face turned, ashen grayl and headed, “My God!_ My God! what will the country say?” ' He never felt easy again as to the out-? come of the war, until the great vic-‘ tory at Gettysburg. f celd bell :40 . c; ‘ ms good-bye! , Send for this free book , Do you go to bed in a cold room?

The govern: ment was. embarassed for want of? money, war is an expensiVe business, and the war was at its height. Sena-pj tor Henry Wilson, the son of a drunk? ard, fought the passage of the bill with all his might, as did several other senators. But under the pressure of Lincoln: lived, there is every probabil- ity that the bill would have'been re- pealed after the war. R. LINCOLN’S last statement concerning the liquor traffic seems to have been made to Chaplain Merwin. It was the day.he was assas- sinated. “Merwin, we have 0 eaned up a colossal job. Slavery is abolished. After reconstruction, the next great question will be the overthrow and abolition of the liquor traffic; and you known/ Merwin,- that my head and my heart and hand and my purse will go into that work. Less. than a quarter of a century ago, I predicted that the time would come when there would be neither a slave nor a drunkard in the land. I have lived to see, thank God, one of those prophecies fulfilled. I hope to see the other realized.” It is well known that the gang who‘ brought dbout the death of the presi- dent, and who plotted to kill a number of other government officials at the same time, was a drinking set.

Many hats which are a bit dingy looking and slightly worn can be made to last a long time by care and renovation. 'Nothing prolongs the lifetime of a hat more than good care. Hats should be brushed after each wearing, and if worn at irregular intervals, should be covered with tissue paper and kept in boxes away from dust, dampness, and strong light. In traveling, they should be protected by paper bags For brush- ing velvet hats, use a fine bristle cloth brush, 01 piece of velvet, as a whisk broom leaves ma1ks on the velvet. Al- ways brush velvet in the direction of the nap. Wipe dust from satin, taf- feta, or georgette hats with a clean cloth, and brush milans, leghorns, and stiffer straws with a whisk brooms A velvet or silk hat wet by a shower should be hung over a stove or radi- ator to dry, care being taken to keep the hat in shape. If a velvet hat has become badly spotted from the rain, hold for a few minutes in ‘the steam from the spout of a teakettle, let dry and brush thoroughly. Remove stains from satin, taffeta and georgette while fresh, with some suitable cleaning agent. Trimmings which have become loosened by the wind‘ Or wear should be tacked into place at once. Most of us own a velvet hat which has become shabby looking before the , material is badly worn. It should.first I be thoroughly brushed; if black or dark colored it can be cleaned by sponging with chloroform, ether, or benzine, the former two being prefer- able, because they evaporate rapidly. Pour a few drops of the cleaning fluid on a sponge and rub carefully over the velvet, going in the dileotion of the nap. As soon as the sponge becomes dry, pour on a few drops and proceed as before. This work should be done out of (1001s or in a room which is well ventilated, as the fumes produced by rapid evaporation of any of these cleaning compounds are overpowering. Care should be taken not to work near a stove, or flame on account of the high inflammability of cleaning fluids. When the hat is thoroughly dry, it should be steamed by moving it back and forth in the steam from the spout of a teakettle. Steam used for reno- vating purposes is what is known as dry steam, that is, there is consider- able heat, and very little moisture. Black or dark colored beaver hats may be cleaned by the same methods used for cleaning velvet ones. White or light colored‘ plush or beaver may be cleaned with a mixture of .gasoline or cornstarch. Mix two tablespoons of cornstarch iwith one pint of gaso- line in a bowl, set bowl in a pan of warm water, as warm gasoline cleans more readily than cold. Rub beaver with, mixture, and when dry, brush out , the flour. To raise the nap on plush or beaver, steam quickly with dry steam, and beat with a small stick; beaver has a certain amount of glue or sizing which causes the, nap to mat ' envision-therefore this.

Woman’s Interests s. ats Out By Cecile Va” Steenéarg used to loosen the nap and cause it to stand erect. Felt hats, which are practical for all seasons, may be cleaned'in a number of ways. Art gum removes spots which are not of long standing. To clean stiff felt hats which are badly soiled, rub with a small block of wood wrap- ped with sandpaper, beginning at the center of the top of the croWn, and moving always in the same direction. When the hat has been cleaned, stretch a pieCe of old velvet over the block, rub with a hot flat iron, and then over a cake of parafiin wax. ‘I‘he wax will melt and adhere to the pile of the vel- vet. Rub the hat in the same manner as when sandpapering to produce a polished surface on the felt. If felt hats are too badly soiled to be cleaned by the method just describ- ed, brush thoroughly to remove all the dust; then soak for a few minutes in a pan of gasoline or benzine, and scrub with a stiff brush dipped in a soap so- lution. Rinse in clean gasoline or ben- zine and hang up to dry. If the felt is badly creased or dented, hold over dry steam and rub into shape. Satin, taffeta, and other fabric hats,. which are suitable for all times of the year, can be cleaned most satisfactor- ily with chloroform or ether. In using them, rub spots with a circular mo- tion, and ‘spong-e the hat uniformly to prevent formation of rings. If the material has beenoripped from satin or taffeta hats, clean by soaking for an hour in gasoline; let dry and press on' the wrong side with a moder- ately hot iron. Badly soiled satin can also be cleaned by stretching the satin on top of the ironing board and rub- bing with a weak solution of ‘borax, made by dissolving one tablespoon of ’borax in a 'quart of water. Rub with the grain of the satin, and when it has, dried, iron it on the wrong side.

Exhibits at Farmers’ Round-up Y goodness, they have every- M thing here haven’t they?” This was the remark that Mrs. Bil- lings made to the lady at her elbow “When she visited the Home Eco- nomics exhibit‘in the Woman’s Build- ing at the Michigan Agricultural Col- lege during Farmers’ Week. There was good reason for this remark, for the exhibit covered nearly all of the details taken up in the Home Econom- ics course. One of the most interesting features was the showing of a complete ward- robe for small boys’and girls. This was prepared by a clothing class of M. A. 0. girls using two East Lansing youngsters as models. Commercial pat- terns were selected with regard to fit, clearness ‘of directions, accuracy In stating the amount of cloth necessary, cost and simplicity. The cloth was tested by the clothing class to determ- ine shrinking, crocking and fading per- centages. Even the finest details were worked out, such as the best methods of fastening and the best kind of sleeves to use. To solve the ever-present question of clothes for the high chool girl was the purpose of the little play which was given Wednesday afternoon.' It was written by Miss Marian L. Tucker, tex- tiles expert at M. A. C., and was de- signed purposely to demonstrate the solution of the problem just mentioned. The proper care and methods of cleaning clothing was also very effi- ~ ciently shown in another exhibit. Dif- ferent kinds of coat hangers, shoetrees, etc., were shown, along with the vari‘ ous cleaning compounds. In another place the proper clothing for the different types of women was shown, and in still another place could be found an exhibit of kitchen utensils. Miss Martha J. Phillips, of the Amer- ican Dye Corporation, was also in 'the .W’oman’s Building with an- exhibit of methods of home dyeing. One feature which attracted atten- tion was the exhibit of white rats on which nutrition experts, Miss "Muriel Hopkins and Miss Rebecca Gibbons, have experimented. One pair of rats was fed a diet consisting of meat, po- The Pathfinders Watchful Walling By 11th L. Litte/l F recording angels have a sense of I humor (and, oh, don’t you hope they have ?), the angels who looked after the Allen household must have had a great deal of amusement those next few weeks after Father Allen op- ened Milly’s letter, and Bob surprised Milly in the act of planning poultry houses which she had not told him she intended to build. _ Father Allen watched Milly for signs "of suspicion, Mother Allen watch- ed Father Allen for signs of guilt, Milly watched Bob for signs of contri- tion, and Bob watched Milly for signs of a thaw. “If Father Allen- had been more wide- ,made him a wonderful investigator, even better, for the angel had only to 'few things, while she had to live with tatoes, bread, corn meal, beets, turnips, peas and beans ground uplfinely and mixed well together; the other pair was fed the same ration but with a little milk added. The rats which had been fed the ration containing the milk were from one-third to one-half larger than the ones that were given no milk in their diet. In another cage containing baby rats a mixture consisting of milk, bread and orange juice was fed and the oth- ers were fed bread and infant. food, such as Nestle’s, Mellen’s, etc. The ones receiving the whole milk and bread far outgrew the ones fed the baby food and bread. This experiment seems to prove quite conclusively that commercial baby food which has been widely advertised cannot take the place of milk in the diet of the infant. It would be far better, according to Miss Gibbons and Miss Hopkins, to buy milk sugar at a much lower price to use as a milk substitute. The nutrition ex- perts further state that the baby would grow r'better on plain bread than on bread and baby food. The exhibition of how M. A.

Every detail from the technique of cooking to the last detail of buying and handling of the‘ seating, etc., was carried out by the girls in such a way as. to win high commenda~ tion from all the visitors. Many mothers took advantage of the opportunity that was offered by the de- partment to check babies in there un~ der the care of the college class in child culture. This was an exhibit in itself inasmuch as it demonstrated the things that the Aggie Co-eds had learn- ed along this line, The high standard of co—education given at M. A. C. is fully established by all these exhibits. In addition the program arranged for the congress of housewives took up many of the trou- blesome little questions about which the country woman usually frets and showed the ways in which they could be handled well.—T. it was he merely called himself a “gosh-darn old snoop,” and berated himself for prying into what was none of his business.

Five hundred and fifty boys, ,girls and leaders were present from twenty-six states and the Dominion of Canada to attend the rally, study the live stock at the great International Live Stock Exposition and see the sights at Chicago, the greatest agricul- tural city in the world. Secretary Wallace said: Let me tell you briefly something about the department and how it is organized. I am anxious that you should have a, working knowledge of A Future Club Member Enjoying Ride in Late Model Conveyance. it because I know very well that there are boys and girls in this audience who within the next fifteen or twenty years will be actively at work 'in the Federal Department of Agriculture. I Shall not be there at that time but I know that many of you will be. We _have some 18,500 people with the de- partment, about 4,500 ,of them in Wash- ington and the others scattered all over the United States. We have four principal lines, of work—first, the scientific research which is the work upon which all of the activities of the department are built. That means seeking for scientific knowledge con- cerning agriculture and the things re- lated to it, inquiring into everything, hunting for new things. There are more than 2,000 men and Women in the department primarily engaged in this scientific research and from these people come the discoveries which are Young Folks Hear -Wallacc Sec’ y of Agriculture Giver I nterertz'ng T 41% to Chicago Vzirz'z‘orr so helpful to practical agriculture. This sort of work. is intensely inter- esting, -..indeed it is fascinating. Our people you know discovered how the Texas cattle fever was transmitted. They "found that it was passed from one animal to another by the cattle tick which carried the dis-ease germs. This was the original discovery of'the transmission of disease by parasites. Once this was knOwn the way to stop the spread of Texas cattle fever was very clear. All that was necessary was to get rid of the ticks by dipping. The pine trees in/New England were attacked by what is known as the blister rust. The first thing to learn was how it was «spread. The scientists found a very curious thing. The rust does not spread from one pine tree to another. It is spread from the infected pine tree to the wild gooseberry and current bushes and from them it goes back to another pine tree. A part of its life must be passed on either cur- rant or gooseberry bushes, and if there are none such in the neighborhood then the disease is stopped. There- fore, the people who own the forests have men at work taking out the cur- rant and gooseberry bushes. _ I could tell you of many interesting discoveries not only in connection with diseases of plants and animals but re- lating to agiicultural methods. Our scientists are at work all the time studying better ways of growing crops, better methods of feeding animals, better methods of breeding both ani- mals and crops, and the results of: their discoveries are made known; in bulletins and similar, publications. Then another field of wo'rkis what we call the extension work, of which you are an important part. The ex- tension work means taking the discov- eries of the scientists to people who need most to know about them. The Boys’ and Girls’ Club work occupies a very important place in this exten- sion program. In some ways more than almost any other part of it, and, if I had time, I would like to Speak at some length about this. A third part of our work is what we call service work. To illustrate, our weather bureau keeps people informed concerning weather' conditions. It gives forecasts of storms and thus aids the farmer, the railroad people, the shipping, and practically every- body else. In this service work we col-. lect statistics concerning crops, the acreage planted, the growing condi- tion and the final yield. We are study- ing better ways of standardizing our grains and our live stock. We have ilVIliss Lois Barlow. of Missouri, and Hethrizef Aberaeen Ag”?- H ‘ or Go I , N . A amrcwmco. g. T e Calf Won the lid Champi .. «an-1w inspectors vine help ‘g‘rowers of “fruit and , vegetables'market their crops ef-A fectively, and we. do a great many other things which are intended to help the farmernot only on the [farm but in the marketing of his crops all along the way from the farm to the final conSumer. . Then we have what we call regula- tory work. Uncle Sam has asked us to administer some twenty or thirty different regulatory laws. For exam- ple, we inspect all the meat which passes from one state to another,and make sure that it is in healthful con- dition. We inspect the foods and drugs. We have control of the laws which‘ protect migratory birds. We super- vise the packers, stockyards and com- mission merchants. We administer the law which deals with the grain ex- changes or boards of trade as they are commonly called upon which our grains are sold both for immediate and for future delivery. As I have been speaking to you-of the way the department is organized and its various fields of work, it has just occurred to me that it might be a good thing for each one of you to con- sider whether your .own life might not well be organized in the same general way, For example, our work in scien- tific research corresponds to your work in acquiring an education, not only a school education but the sort of an education you are getting in your club work, and the sort of an educa- tion you get in reading helpful books and helpful papers. And our extension work might be compared to the use you make of the education you get in these different ways, applying it to your life work. Our service work corresponds to the unselfish work you do in passing on your knowledge to others and in help- ing others as you come in contact with them. One of the fine things about knowledge is that you can share it with others without losing any of it yourself, and the more helpful you are ' to others the better it is for you. And finally, our regulatory work might well be compared to the regu- latory work which each individual im- poses upon himself through the build- ing up of good habits and the avoid- ance of bad habits by which he keeps fit both mentally and physically. I believe every young person who will organize his life on this general , plan will come much. more nearly measuring up, to a. one hundred per cent man or woman. ‘ ‘ NATURE NOTES. _ “The love of nature leads us along the paths that lead to happy tomor- rows.” What does the robin’s insect food consist of ?—-Alice B. .Robins obtain most of their insect food on the ground. It consists of cut- worms, wireworms, ground beetles, earthworms, caterpillars of all kinds, spiders, grasshoppers, crickets, slugs and the white~winged fly which does so much damage to grasslands. The click beetle, the parent of the wireworm, is also included in Robin’s diet. Every farm should encourage Robin guests. If boys are handy with tools they can make a Robin shelf for the Robin fam- ily 'to nest upon. It proves a safer nesting site than the crotches of trees. How many species of birch trees are fqund in this country?——-A. L. ‘ There are, I believe, fifteen or six- teen species of birch in this country. All the birch trees are masterpieces in tree creation. The cut leaf birch of our yards, is especially beautiful, and all the birches may well be termed, “Dear lady of the woods.” The vari- ous species of birch are known as: The canoe or paper white birch, gray, blue, red, Alaska, heart leaved, west- ern, western red, Piper’s, Utah, river, Sandberg’s, cherry, yellow birch, south- ern yellow birch, black or sweet, and the European white birch. On what trees or bushes must I look for the polyphemus moth cocoon?—R. ' The polyphemus cocoon drops to the ground soon after it is made. It is spun among leaves, indicating that it is a good specimen of caterpillar inge- nuity. Inasmuch as the,caterpillar of the polyphemus feeds upon various kinds of trees and bushes; you will be sure to find some of these cocoons if you walk about in the early fall, when the leaves just begin to' fall, among ' the elms, hickory, linden, maple, chest- nut, sycamore, beech and other trees as well as bushes—Pauline Ward.

My Poultry Project Work By I r‘vz'n Norm} ON April 26, 1921,. at our handicraft round-up, we organized our poultry and gardening club. We elected offi- cers in a haphazard way, '(I being the only one who knew how to vote), and finally decided on Oliver Phelps for presidentj Norman Norris, vice-presi- dent, and myself as secretary-treasur- er. At Our second meeting, we learned to vote right, and everything went nicely after that. We had our meet- ings regularly every two weeks, and every one was a success. My pullets started laying January 13, an unlucky day in number, but not ' in fact.» On February 9 I bought a high strain rooster. He was a pretty good ‘ rooster, but he brought lice, mites and roup to my flock, and on account of. these three things, my layers did not have a fair chance.to show what they could do. I set 175 eggs from my own 'flock, and most all of them were fer- tile, but only seventy-five hatched out and five of these were weak and crowd- ‘ed under the first few cold nights. I kept-the peeping youngsters in a box vbehindthe stove until they developed -wing feathers, and flew,over. I then got busy'fan'd built an annex, on my Tobicken been, making it half monitor " ' style. ' It is'now a'10x12 coop. My lit- M (about tull- fel’lows grew .fast‘except for a few ‘ I was first demonstrator on the poul- try demonstration team that went to the State Fair on September 7. I had a fine time, and learned many things while I was there that will help me ’ raise better poultry next year. While I was there, the Michigan Farmer gave us a sight-seeing trip through the city and out to Belle Isle Park. Chickens seem to me to be more than egg producers or a feathered piece of meat for Sunday dinner, and when I look at those shiny eyes, they seem to be almost human. This is one reason why poultry raising is a pleas- ure rather than labor. They are an un- failing source of income, a delightful -pleasure, and a grand old teacher. Club work is a fine thing for boys and girls, and I will highly recommend it to any wideawake boy and guarantee that it will make life worth living if taken the right Way. Club work is the joy of my life. It has given me a large amount of pleasure, in constant supply of spendingmoney, and a brain full of experience.

HATEVER the winter ration for turkeys may be, it is best that it should not consist of too muCh fat-producing food. In late, win- ter turkeys take on flesh rapidly and .especial care should be taken, as the breeding season approaches-to keep down the weights as much as‘possible. A fat turkey is often afailure as a breeder and is more subject to disease than one just in good condition. I feed more of oats than any other grain and have found the .followm‘g to be a very good ration for winter. Whole oats for the morning feed, (just what they will clean up quickly). Sometimes wheat or barley is added for variety During the early part, or middl the day, a dry mash is given. his consists of one-half ground oats and Keep the Weights Down. one-half bran (by bulk), adding gran- ulated charcOal in proportion of one mm to six quarts. As much of this is placed in troughs or boxes as you find they will clean up thoroughly in a few hours. Corn is fed at night but they should ‘ never be allowed to have all they will eat of it and it should be of the best quality. During the latter part of the winter, substitute barley for corn. The turkeys should have a plentiful supply of grit, charcoal and shell at all times.\ I believe that much of the winter bowel trouble results from feeding too much corn in severe cold weather when the birds are inactive and when the ground is frozen or covered 'with snow, so preventing them from finding the required grinding material. I have a supply of coarse sand or fine gravel stored; up each year for winter use and when this is put out daily, on boards or in boxes, the turkeys will 1ush up and eat it as though it were grain. They should have plenty of good, clean water and not have to depend on the snow for drink. Sour milk given new and then is greatly relished and is beneficial. Above all, see that the bowels are kept clean and active. Give epsom salts occasionally in milk or water and give it, if possible, in the morning on days when the weather is mild. A spell of]. stormy or continued se- vere weather, some ginger and char;- coal given in a moist mash will aid' digestion and help to keep them in good condition. N. EVALYN RAMSDELL. LOCATING AN INCUBATOR. HE ideal place for the incubator is in the cellar. But some poultry breeders do not have a cellar suited for an incubator. In such cases they may try to do without the machine. By experience and observation we have found that many fine hatches can be brought off in upstairs rooms. It .followed by a chilling at night. oyster. means some cooperation from th ram. hanging of doors. Hatching eggs are injured by vibrationand unnecessary jars. The machine should not be located near a. stove as this may cause too it high a temperature during the day. , The fresh air from the outside must be constantly passing through an incu- bator so the temperature of the ma- chine is always influenced .by the amount of heat in the room where it is operated. Some breeders have man- aged' machines in large kitchens by using a small oil stove for cooking in- stead of operating a cooking stove during the period of incubation. In such cases the machine is handy and can be given' regular attention without running up and down stairs from the cellar. An incubator should be placed on a level floor. Often a kitchen floor will not be level near the wall, but the ma- chine can be properly regulated by the use of old shingles. Place a spirit level on top of the machine and shove shingles under the short legs until the machine is level and on a firm founda- tion where it cannot slip. It is not best to operate an incu- bator in a living-room that must be used all day. The fumes from the ma- chine and the burning of the large lamp help to exhaust the air. In a kitchen that is not used more than a few hours a day the machine will not cause serious inconvenience. It does not pay to try and do without an incu- bator just because the conditions for running it are not absolutely ideal. Q HOME—MADE BROODERS. What is a good way to make a home- made brooder, one that will accommo- date about 400 day-old chicks?—W. P. If you have four hundred chicks to brood it will pay you best to buy a coal burning brooder stove and not try to make a home-madebrooder. In the light of our present experience it would not be fair to give plans or make sug- gestions about building one of the old- fashioned box- like home- made brood- ers. Thejgwere too often chicken kill- ers. In order to obtain enough heat it was often necessary to cut down ven- tilation and injure the vitality of the- chicks. The use of an oil lamp with the home-made brooder increased the fire risk when the lamp had to be turn- ed high to produCe enough heat. CARE OF DUCKS. One of my breeding ducks refuses to eat and is getting very weak. I have had young ducks do the same thing and they always die. They drink plenty 'of water and run with the rest of the flock, acting perfectly natural until they finally fall from sheer weak- ness What can I do for them? Where can I get a paper or book on the sub ject of duck raising?~—Mrs. G. F. Ducks sometimes have lung trouble and it might be caused by exposure, too close housing, a lack of vitality or lack of a balanced ration which un- dermined the health of the bird. ‘ --‘ Young ducklings sometimes die be-‘ cause they do not have the right ra- tion for a. healthy rapid growth. Try a mash of wheat bran held together with low-grade flour. Then add about fifteen per cent corn meal, ten per cent beef scrap, and five per cent sand. Mix this with green feed, such as rye, clover or chopped cull vege- tables.’ Our best boo on ducks is entitled, “Duck Culture,” by James Rankin. A.. ' D.

(Continued from page 163). understood now why all the doors had, been locked when she got back from Milly’s the day Abbie Brown came, and why the bedroom .window was up. He had got the letter ready to mail that day, and gone through the Win- dow to take it to the letter carrier, so they couldn’t see him from the other house. ' She intended to bring him to ac- count, too, when the right time came. Therefore she watched for the psycho- logical moment. If he hadn't tried to lay his guilt on Tommy she might have spared him, but the idea of a grown man laying his misdeeds oil on a child was impossible; and when the child happened to be her own baby and the apple of her eye, let the man beware, even if he did happen to be her own husband. Father Allen, knowing his guilt, saw detection on every hand. He quavered from inward fear when Milly was around, for at any minute she might charge him with his sin. And when she was out of sight he trembled lest she discover evidence of his criminal ity. When she spoke to him.he start- ed guiltily, and when she simply look- ed at him he was sure that her clear gaze was ferreting out his mean little act. He noticed, but without relief, that she no longer asked Tommy to do errands for her; probably she thought him a chip off the old block. Mother Allen noticed, too, this lack of: confi- dence, and bided her time. More unhappy, because less experi- enced, were Bob and Milly. Being thoroughly modern folks they had not entered marriage with the idea that there would never be any disagree- ments. They expected to have differ- ences, even hoped to have an occa- sional spat to break the monotony of daily existence. But a quarrel to look back upon and to laugh over is one thing, and the same quarrel while it is 5 being lived through is quite another. Not that they quarreled, and indulg- ed in bitter remarks. Far from that, they never mentioned _ the subject ‘ again. But they were polite, icily po- lite, painfully polite to one another. Bob deferred to Milly’s wishes in little things, such as washing his hands clean before he used the towel, and Milly seasoned the apple pie with nut- meg, though she usually insisted on cinnamon. But they weren’t a bit chummy. Bob missed having his hair rumpled up just after he’d carefully brushed it, and Milly missed having her apron untied and a cold stream of water trickled down her neck when Bob came to get a drink. , ' So these humans blundered along, While the recording angels smiled and sharpened their pencils.

(31 Nothing could be more logical or Simpler than the way it works—in complete harmony with the cow and in full observance of the prin- ciples of milk secretion. Think of the most skilful hand milker you know—one who has the knack of getting more milk out of cows than any other—and you will get an excellent idea of how it works; with this difference— that it enables one man to milk from two to three times as many cows, never gets tired, and is as regular and uniform in its action as the tick of a clock. Every unit, no matter if there are a doz- en, always works at exactly the same speed. Naturally with such ‘ milking cows do better and their udders are kept in much better condition. In construction it is emmely simple. There are no' adjust— ments to make, no complicated parts to get out of order.

Reynofdr when conditions are favorable ’ for the herdto achieve maxi- mum returns for the feed consumed and the "labor involved. The winter WINTER dairying is profitable~ . season, at'best, is a trying period in the management of the dairy herd. Conditions that encourage uniform milk production can be supplied much easier during the spring and summer months than during the cold variable weather. However, under favorable conditions the dairy herd can be _de- pended upon to produce a uniform flow of milk at a profit, besides returning to the soil a large amount of valuable manure. Many dairymen plan, to have their cows come fresh in the fall or early ' winter months preparatory for winter dairying. This is a most excellent practice, because if the cows freshen too, early in the fall when pastures are on the decline and before winter feed- ing begins, the cows are very apt to suffer a shrinkage in milk production that cannot be easily regained even under the most skillful feeding. It has been my experience that cows that freshen during the months of October and November or even during the fore part of Dec-ember, make the most pro- ductive and profitable winter milkers. While I do not make winter milk pro- duction a specialty, I do plan'to have a few cows freshen for winter milking and I find it pays to give them good care. Dairymen this winter find them- selves in a somewhat perplexed posi- tion relative to feeding their cows a well balanced grain ration. The pres- ent market prices of dairy products hardly warrant the purchasing of large quantities of high-priced dairy feed-s. While perhaps most dairy feeds are considerably lower in price than a year ago, yet I think the average dairyman feels the margin of profit is too small to admit of feeding _liberally on highly concentrated dairy in order to secure anywhere near sat~ isfactory results from winter dairying the cows must be well fed. I believe dairymen in general are' coming to think that in order to make dairying most profitable, year in and year out, that more variety and large quantities of .feed for feeding the dairy .herd‘ must be grown upon the farm. I am of the opinion that the day is near at hand when the average dairyman will grow all his feed, except perhaps, pur- chasing a limited quantity of oil meal and wheat bran. No dairyman should make it a practice to sell \his' farm- grown grains and purchase dairy feeds. This practice has been done to more or less extent in the past- Farm- grown grain properly ground and com- pounded make the most highly nutri- tive and economic ration for «the dairy cows within the reach of the average feeds; . However, every dairyman realizes that ' the yard. Winter dairying without. a silo to supply a large portion of the roughage ration would result unprofitably. Sil- age is beyond all question the cheap- est, most palatable and nutritive roughage feed for the dairy cow. How- ever, to sustain the dairy herd in good condition and to encourage a. strong uniform milk flow some dry roughage of a proteinous nature should be fed along with the silage. Clover and a1- falfa hay or bean pods are excellent dry roughages and can be fed profit- ably along with silage. On account of the 'dry weather the past' season many dairymen find themselves short ‘ on some kinds of dry feed, and espe- cially clover hay. We have always had plenty of good clover bay to feed our milch cows during the winter, but this year we are short on thiskind of feed. We have never grown alfalfa to any great extent as we have always ‘ 1 considered the clover crop best adap- ted to our system of crop rotation. Shredded corn stover, bean pods and cat straw mixed equal amounts makes a very good dry roughage feed for the dairy cow when clover hay and alfalfa can not be had. I know some dairy- men claim oat straw is worthless feed for cows giving a heavy flow of milk, but I find that even 'when I have fed plenty of good clover hay to my cows they still relish a feed of oat straw. The dairy herd, to do its best work during the cold winter months, must be comfortably housed. Too close stabling in poorly lighted and ventilat- ed barns is not only detrimental to the health of the dairy herd, but also low- ers'its efficiency to convert feed into profitable returns. To keep the dairy herd in good working condition the‘ stable should be well lighted. Some stables, however, are quite difficult to light on account of north exposure, such stables can be greatly improved by whitewashing .or painting some light color. Where the basement is low and dark it is advisable to arrange the stable around the outside so that the cows may have the benefit of the light as much as possible. It is better to arrange to have a feed room in the dark portion of the stable than to have stock. I find that in my stable a large feed room is invaluable and affords an arrangement whereby my stock has plenty of sunlight. ‘ How much outdoor exercise should the dairy herd have during the winter months? Sbme dairymen confine their herds to the stable almost continu- ously throughout the winter months, while others carry out the reverse ex- treme by keeping their cows out in the yard all day. Both practices are ex- tremes, and both incalculably impair the productive efficiency of the dairy herd. . Good judgment is necessary in handling dairy cows in winter in order to obtain best results. The average dairyman follows the practice of turns ing his cows into the yard to water and exercise. I. have followed both methods of Water in the stable and in If the weather is 'cold and severe I water in the stable. I believe, however. that it is best for the dairy herd to have daily~ exercise during the winter. when the weather is favorable. I do not think it a- good practice to allow the cows to stay out in the yard until they become chilled. as this im-* pairs large yields of milk and more ' es the cost of p ' competition. -M i”. all ineslof'business appears to belthe ' one of financial success. ‘Be it right . or wrong, this is a m'oney-getting age, and not a step behind his commercial ‘ or professional brotherstands .the man who produces the foodstuffs for all mankind, equally as anxious to get his share of worldly goods.

ERADICATION OF TUBERCULOSIS ‘ PROGRESSING. LTIMATE eradication of tuberculo- sis among animals in the United States becomes very hopeful when a comparison is made with what has been done in the eradication of the cattle tick in the south, says the Unit- ed States Department of 'Agriculture. It is estimated that in order to get rid of tuberculosis in a reasonable time it would be necessary for the state of Illinois, for instance,‘to employ 168 veterinarians, and-to spend for the work and for indemnity about $11,000,- 000. The annual loss to the farmers of the state due to the ravages of the plague is thought to be at least $2,000,- 000, and the total value of the cattle, according to the last census, was $182,- 000,000. To this last figure might be added $90,000,000, which was the Jan- uary 1 estimate of the value of Illinois hogs. This furnishes comparisons with Al- abama which has been practically rid of the cattle tick, the cause of Texas fever. In that state the counties, state and federal government have spent $1,457,633 in the fight against this en- emy of the live stock industry. This is considerably less than the estimated cost of cleaning out tuberculosis from Illinois herds, but there‘is a great dif- ference in the value of the cattle, Ala- bama’s beef and dairy herds being worth, at the time of the last census taking, $32,078,763, and her swine a little more than $15,000,000. Tuberculosis is not only a disease that is undermining the live stock in- dustry in many states, but is seriously jeopardizing the lives of the people, especially the children. Already it has been demonstrated in various counties 'in nine states that it is possible to have all the herds Within certain boun- daries absolutely free of the disease. This can be done in the nation. WEIGHT 0F SILAGE. AREFUL experiments have shown that well-settled silage on the av- erage weighs forty pounds to the cubic foot, that nearer the bottom of the silo is probably packed sufficiently so that it will weigh a trifle more to the cubic foot than that near the top of the silo, but approximately, this is correct. Therefore, ascertain the number of cubic feet of silage in your silo and multiply this by forty and this will give you the number of pounds of silage. Theonly way one can give the price of silage is to compare it with other food products of a similar nature, that is, similar so far as food nutrients are concerned. Ensilage is not bought and sold on the market like hay or grain, and consequently no market price can be fixed. However, feeding experi- ments show that three tons of good - corn silage are worth-in feeding value approximately the same as one ton of ’ timothy hay and the analysis is very l Cut In Price ELOTTE, the Edison of Europe, manufacturer of the greatest Cream Separator the world has ever known, announces a sweeping re- duction in prices.

(100d Year Dairy Barn 1 UMBER and other prices are well down, carpenters and com- mon labor want work and contractors need business badly Costs have so lowered that you can now have a James planned barn, with Jamesway insulation, double glazed windows and silos, com- ventilating system, stalls, stanch- ions, drinking cups, manure carrier, feed truck, cow pen, calf pen, bull pen, etc., for 30 cows for about $53. 00 a month—$1. 75 per cow. Indeed, drinking cups alone may pay 2/ the cost of the entire barn. Tests in 28 herds proved that with milk at $2.50 per 100 lbs. and labor at 25c an hour, James- way cups increased profits from each cow $14. 01 during the cold weather season. Building costs are not likely to decrease for some time. When prosperity is again in full swing, labor, lumber, cement and other materials will be in great demand.

Dairy Auoels Association held its annual ban- quet on the evening of January 10 at the Plymouth Congregational Church. at Lansing, and its annual meeting at the College at East Lan- sing on the folloWing day. M. W. ‘Wentworth, of Battle Creek, acted as teastmas‘ter at ‘the banquet, and among those who responded to toasts were Austin Jennison and Nor- man Cove, of Lansing; Frank T. Price of the Holstein-Friesian World; James G. Hays, of Howell; W. H. Hill, Agri- cultural Agent of the New York Cen- tral Lines West, and D. D. Aitken, of Flint. Altogether it was a lively af- fair, and about a hundred people en- joyed the excellent meal which was served by the ladies of the church. The annual meeting on the day fol- lowing was presided over by Mr. Dud- ley E. Waters, of Grand Rapids, presi- dent of the Michigan Association, and one of the most progressive breeders of the state. The morning session was taken up with the regular business of the association and included the read- ing of reports by the officers for the year just closed, the distribution of prize ribbons for the leading A. R. 0. cows reported during 1921,’ and the election of officers for the ensuing year. , The afternoon session was featured by several interesting talks and the large room was filled to capacity. Ex- Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, president of the Holstein-Friesian As.— sociation of America, gave a mbst in- teresting and instructive address, in the. course of which he urged closer cooperation between the national, state and local organizations and the clubs, bull associations, cow-testing as- sociations and the like. He called at- tention to the need' for cooperation and organization among the farmers and breedersas a decisive factor in the country’s economic readjustment and asserted that general prosperity will not return unul the normal relation- ship betweem the prices of farm com- modities and the prices of other com- modities has been restored. Mr. Ali;- ken followed with an exhortation to the farmers and breeders to concen- trate on the working out of their own problems. - Mr. E. J. Leenhouts, assistant agri- cultural‘agent of the New York Cen- tral Lines, who was in direct charge of the Michigan Holstein-Friesian Asso- ciation’s part in the operation of the “Better Sire Trian” through northern Michigan. counties in August of last year, presented a. resume of that un- dertaking. This train was put on in cooperation with'the New York Cen- tral and Pennsylvania Railroads, the dairy department of the college, .and the county agents and local commer- cial organizations, and resulted in the placing of sixty-eight purebred Hol- stein bulls in localities Where the pure- bred business has not been greatly de- veloped and in arousing a great deal of interest in better dairying. The talk of Prof. o. Ef‘Reed, head of the dairy industry department of the college,- was a. very practical dis- cussion on developing dairy heifers and was accompanied by figures. and. charts from actual experimental work along that line. This was of direct in- terest to the breeders and was closely followed. . . , The resolutions adopted by~the meet-' ing had to do with the bill now before congress to provide for 1‘1 tax on filled m;llk the question of fixing the trans- fer fee by the national association so” as to provide funds fbr extensio and publicity work; the question 0 ,pro- viding land for experimental research along dairy lines; and'the protec‘tion of cattle exhibited at fairs with respect to tuberculosis. olsteln'lMcetm“ HE Michigan Holstein-Friesianf pushing of such activities as calf‘ l The matter of the nomination of del-r, egates to represent.

The making of maple syrup or sugar consists primar- ily of “boiling out” the water and skimming off the foreign matter. To make a good sugar or syrup it is nec- essary, therefore, to have an equip- ment which will allow for the least possible contamination of the product in all stages of manufacture. Not only mUSt thorough cleanliness be observed but transformation of the new sap to‘ the finished product must ‘be'direct and as speedy as possible. The sugar house of a. modern plant is not only for making and putting up the products but alga for storingbuck‘ ets, pails, spouts and other equipment from one season to the next. One farmer with a, one—thousand-tree bush has a very satisfactory house. This is forty-two feet long by thirty feet, wide. siding and painted; the floor is of ce« ment and the ceiling of shingles wood. It has a leanto twelve feet wide on the east side for protecting the storage tank. It is built onvsloping ground so that the gathering tank empties by gravitation into the storage tank and- from there into the evaporator. It has been a long stride from the iron kettle, used in sugar making by our grandfathers, to the modern evap- orator that is necessary for the mak- ing of a high-priced product. The mod- ern evaporator is designed, for rapid evaporation and economy of fuel.‘ There are several makes in use but all are similar in principle. When pur‘ chasing an evaporator it is important to provide for expansion of the plant and the taking care of heavy runs of sap. An experienced maker believes in providing ten square feet of boiling surface for every one hundred trees . tapped. . At the beginning of the season all the sugar utensils should be cleaned even though they were well washed, dried and stacked away at the close of the season previous for the dust which‘ collected during the year would dam- age the first run. Having distributed the buckets and spouts the tapping 18 started. The sap is forced out by in- ternal pressure, and a very small op- ening will relieve that pressure, caus- ing the sap to flow as rapidly as from the larger opening. The three-eighths, Seven-sixteenths and half-inch bit is used. The hole is bored in slightly upward about one and one-half inches ‘ in the medium-sized tree, and two‘ inches in the large tree. The point oil tapping shOuld be about thirty inches _above the ground where the bark has a healthy look. We still find farmers who do not‘ . think that it pays to cover their sup 7 buckets.

(Continued from page 156). tax law as a means of more equally means of reaching property now un- taxed. We urge the adoption of the propos- ed amendment to the constitution, sub- mitted by the last legislature, with reference to the state income tax law, and recommend the passage by our next legislature of a state income tax law at such a rate that the income therefrom will- be of sufficient volume to pay all state expenses and displace the general property tax for state pur- poses; and the surplus, if any, to be used to retire the soldiers’ bonus bonds. We -recommend the immediate sub- mission, by congress, to the states of an amendment to the federal consti- tution prohibiting the further issue, of tax-exempt bonds. . We recommend that all real and per- sonal property owned by a municipal- ity and used or held for use as a pub- lic utility, lying outside the municipal- ity so owning said utility, be placed on the tax roll on the same basis as oth- er real and personal property in the township where the said utility is lo- cated. We recommend that the stock of all trust companies, finance and mortgage companies, and building & loan asso- ciations be assessed and taxed on the same basis as the stock of state and national banks. We recommend the repeal of the law known as the Covert road law. We recommend that the law be amended so that all moneys received by the different counties from the state as state reward for road building shall be applied to the payment of road bonds, issued in said county, if any, otherwise that such state award mon- eys be turned into general highway funds of the county under the control of the board of supervisors. We recommend a tax of one cent a gallon on all gasoline used Within the state, the money received there- from to be applied in the payment of the interest of state highway bonds and retirement of state highway bonds. We recommend that all money paid by any rural school districts for tui- tions of its students in high schools of the state, shall be refunded to said rural school district by the state out of the primary school fund, and that permit such refunding. We recommend that that portion of the money received by the state for license of motor vehicles, and belong- ing to several counties, be turned into the highway fund of the several coun- ty treasurers and be subject to control and disposition of by the board of supervisors, and not by county road commissioners, as at present. That we favor a reduction in the statutory limit of $5.00 to $3.00 per thousand for road repair and road im- provement taxes. This applies to town- ships and villages. We favor a transfer tax of one-half of one per cent, annual tax on intangi- ble personal property. ~ We , are opposed to the proposed amendment to the state constitution to eliminate the so—called moiety clausein the state constitution that would af- fect so many of our smaller counties in the state legislature. We are also opposed to the proposed amendment to the state constitution providing for commission form of gov- ernment for counties and we hereby pledge the Michigan State Farm Bu- reau to assist in the defeat of both the above named propositions. We believe the Michigan State Farm Bureau through its executive commit- tee should call a joint meeting of the Grange, Gleaners and Farmers’ Clubs to conduct a systematic campaign to secure the adaption of such measures as will aid the property and welfare Michigan. We believe- that the state adminis— trative board should be requested to suspend the issuing of any state high- way bonds during the year of 1922.

Big, heavily galvanized wires, springy, mechanically hinged joints, bull strong. American fence and American or U. S. steel posts make the ideal combination for a life-time service. 1 American and U. S. posts are driven like stakes and anchor themselves. Save Money by Buying Quality and Weight We make heavy fences— fe-nces made of large, sub- stantial wires—because we believe in them; because we can stand back of them; be- cause we know the years of service they will give to the farmer who buys them; be- cause large wires will take a heavier coat of galvanizing and are thus better protected for years of service. We also make light weight fences, of small gauge wires. Because the trade demands them. While our light weight fences are the best on the market—best in quality of steel and quality of galvaniz- ing, we do not believe they will give as good service as the heavier fences. Heavy, substantial fence is by far the cheapest in the long run. Dealers everywhere. See them and get prices. They have a stock on hand for quick delivery.

West St, ammo, Mich. answering it, she found that it was Donald ‘speaking to her. *“Will you come down for a few min- utes, please, Harry?” - She withheld her answer momentar- ily. Before Eaton had come into her life, Donald sometimes had called her like this—especially on those nights when he had worked late with her fath- er—and she had gone down, to visit with him for a. few minutes as an end- ing for the day. She had never allowed these meetings to pass beyond mere companionship; but tonight she thought of that companioship without pleasure. “Please, Harry!” he repeated. Some strangeness in his tone per- plexed her. . “Where are you?” she asked. “In the study.” She went down at once. As he came to the study door to meet her, she saw that what had perplexed her in his tone was apparently only the rem- nant of that irritation he had showed at dinner. He took her hand and drew her into the study. The lights in the room turned full on and the opaque curtains drawn closely over the win- dows told that he had been working— or that he wished to appear to haVe been working—and papers ., scattered on one of the desks, and the wall safe to the right of the door standing open, .confirmed this. But now he led'her to the big chair, and guided her as she seated herself; then he lounged on the flat-topped desk in front bf and clo”se to her and bending over her. “You don’t mind my calling you down, Harry; it is so long since we had even a few minutes alone togeth- er,” he pleaded. “What is it you, want, Don?” she asked. “Only to see you, dea—Harry.” He took her hand again; she resisted and .withdrew it. “I can’t do any more work tonight, Harry. I find-'the cor- respondence I expected to. go over this evening isn’t, here; your father has it, I suppose.” “No; I have it, Don.” “You?” “Yes; father didn’t want you both- cred by that work just now.‘ Didn’t .he tell you?” “He told me that, of course, Harry, and that he had asked you to relieve me as much as you could; he didn’t say he had told you to take charge of the papers. ‘Did he do that?” “I thought that was implied. If you need them, I’ll get them for you, Don. Do- you want them?” She got up and went toward the safe where she had put them; sud- denly she stopped. ‘What it was that she had felt under his tone and man- ner, she could not tell; it was probably only irritation at having important wOrk taken out of his hands.- But whatever it was, he .was not openly expressing it—he was even being care« ful that it should not be expressed. And now suddenly, as he followed and her, she halted. - ‘ . “We. must ask father first," she said. “Ask him!” be elucidated, f‘wny?"

It is impossible that he meant you to take' them out of my hands like this. He must have meant only that you. were to give me’ what help you could with them!” She could not refute what he said; still, she hesitated. “When did you find out those mat- ters weren’t in your. safe, Don?” sh asked. ' ,. . “Just now.” ' “Didn’t you find out this afternoon —before dinner?” “That’s what I said—just now this afternoon. when I came back to the house before dinner, as you say." Sud- denly he seized both her hands, draw- ing her to him and holding her in front of him. “Harry, don’t you see that you are putting me in a. false po- sitionfiwronging me? You are acting as though you didn’t trust me!” ’ She drew away her hands. “I do trust you, Don; at least I have no rea- son to distrust you. I only say we must ask father.” “They’re in'your little safe?” She nodded. “Yes.” “And you’ll not give them to me?” “No.” \ He stared angrily; then he shrugged and laughed and went back to his desk and began gathering up his scattered papers. She stood indecisively watch- ing him. Suddenly he looked up, and she saw that he had quite conquered‘ his irritation, or at least had concealed it; his, concern now seemed to be only over his relations with herself. “We’ve not quarreled, Harry?” he asked. . “Quarreled? Not at all, Don,” she replied. ’ She moved toward the door; he fol-, lowed and let her out, and she went back to her rooms. (Continued next week). ,FLOCK AT LAMBJNG TIME. SHEEP dividends depend on the care given the flock at lambing time. A good winter ration for preg- nant ewes is composed of good hay, clover or alfalfa, unthreshed pea. straw, roots and silage. If thin, grain should be added. Salt and \vater should be supplied liberally and regu- larly. As the ewes approach lambing time reduce all feeds,,especially roots and silage. ' During the first twenty-four hours the feed should be light, after lamb- ing. A warm drink with a light feed of pulped mangels and grain is good. Within three days the ewe may be brought back to the full ration, then fed milk, as wenhas hay and roots. . When the lambs " are eight or ten days old they will nibble fine hay and grain, and thereafter. should be provid- ‘ed with a separate trough and rack where they may learn to eat. No feeds for this. purpose excel ‘oats, bran, oil- cake' and goodfi‘n’e clover'hay. - make) all changes gradually from winter ' Quarters to pastures, both for . ewes ' and lambs, avoiding scours; bloat‘and ., digestive troubles. , . ‘Ewes lambing ‘in’ cold weather must ; ‘ have comfortable quarters.

Feed him plenty of oats, wheat bran, mixed hay or alfalfa. Give him one-half ounce of ground gentian in teed two or three times a day. Loss of Appetite—Effects of Purpura Hemorrhagica.——-Calf born on October 16, 1921, seemed all right, but gradu- ally he lost appetite. I gave him cas- tor oil. I believe he needs a tonic medicine. My nine-year-old mare had an attack of purpura last summer, but seemingly recovered, now her legs stock, also some swelling under belly, but she is not sick. ,She runs in pas- ture one mile from my home. C. F. 0., Marion, Mich—It" convenient, feed some, ground oats with a tablespoonful of Fowler’s solution in each feed. An animal of this kind should be stabled and well fed. ‘ _ Bruised Udder.—I have a, Guernsey heifer first calf which gives bloody milk. She was on a summer grass which follows rye stubble, when it came on. She is a staked cow and I can give no reason for her giving such milk. Bloody milk comes from two quarters of bag. G. H. D., Benton Harbor, Mich—Rough milking is quite a common cause, careful milking is sometimes a remedy. If you stable her give her plenty of bedding, change ’ feed, and remember that uncertain re- sults follow the use of drugs in such cases. Breeding Question—the Eating of »Placenta'.——Will I obtain good results by inbreeding my hogs once? Should . a sow be allowed to eat the afterbirth after farrowing?‘ Should a cow be allowed to eat the afterbirth after calving?- C. O. B.,_ Holloway, Mich.— A certain amount of inbreeding will usually prove profitable but don’t forget the importance of line-breeding. In- breeding generally reduces the vigor, although it concentrates whatever good points happen to be present. Be cautions, for inbreeding experiments are generally expensive, especially if the. hands of the amateur. If possi- prevent both sows and cows from « e. afierbinh~ lemony eases * burn. but it.

WHEAT A profound change occurred in the wheat market in the last ten days. The Argentine market which .has been de- clining and a cause of weakness in North American and European mar- kets suddenly turned strong and led an advance in which all markets par- ticipated. Heavy European buying in the Argentine seems to have initiated the movement. Statistical summaries show that there is not much more than 50,000,000 bushels difference between the known import needs and the ex- , portable surpluses of the various coun- tries. This is a close adjustment of supply to demand and provides a bal- ance so small that the outcome of the 1922 crop is a matter of great concern. CORN The movement of corn to terminal markets in January aggregated 55,000,- «000 bushels and was the largest on record. The sharp advance in wheat prices carried the corn market along last week to the highest point in sev- eral weeks although daily arrivals are setting a new record. Export buying is still liberal and clearances since November 1 have been about four times as large as in the same period a year ago. The disappearance of corn ' from primary markets into consump- tive channels during the first quarter of the crop year amounted to 96,600,- 000 bushels, the largest for the corres- ponding period in the last dozen years. OATS The huge visible supply of oats is not fading away rapidly as receipts at primary markets are comparatively large in spite of private reports point- ing to extremely low stocks on farms. The domestic demand has been rather slow. During the first half of the crop year the total disappearance of Oats from primary markets into consump- tive channels was 91,445,000 bushels. This is slightly larger than in the same period of last year, but shows a decrease of forty per cent when com- pared with the average of the preced: (ing four years. It is believed, how? ever, that eastern distributors have , allowed their stocks to become very small and that they will need large manta by spring. ,' ‘ fl ‘ kets show since the spring demand is on the" rye straw $13.50@14; . a . i h ; I fl 1‘ Both clover and timothy seed mar- sustained strength and horizon, advances in values are much more probable than declines. At To- ledo receipts of clover,for the season .to date have been about 30 per cent more than the average of the preced- ing four years. Since the crop was light, this comparison suggests that stocks in surplus sections are small. Shipments. from the same market have been only about one-half as large as the four-year average, indicating that distributors have not accumulated large supplies. Receipts of timothy seed at Toledo for the season have been only about 50 percent of the four-year average. , - FEEDS Slashing $3 to $6 per ton from feed prices attracted buyers and restored a firm tone to the market. Prices are slightly higher with the exception of linseed oil meal. Large sales of bran and middlings have been made by the mills to jobbers for January and Feb‘ ruary shipment. Some cottonseed oil mills are closing already although as a rule the supply of ‘seed is not en- tirely crushed until May. HAY Light receipts serve to maintain prices at most hay markets but Kan- sas City has just received the largest run in a number of months and prices were reduced. Low grades are rela- tively abundant 'and are difficult to move from distributing markets even at a big discount. Alfalfa hay remains at a high premium with prairie hay most difficult to sell. POULTRY AND EGGS Egg markets fluctuated rather vio- lently last week although over a small- er range than in early January. The weather conditions will continue as the dominating influence for several weeks. The supply of eggs during January at the four ieadingcities was 20 per cent, larger than a year ago. Nevertheless, cold storage holdings at these four markets decreased much more rapidly than in January, 1921, due to extremely heavy consumption. Receipts of dressed poultry have fallen off in the last month and the addition to cold storage holdings in January {$2151 slightly smaller than in.January, Chicago.—Eggs fresh firsts 3694c; ordinaries 31@33c.

Detroit—Eggs fresh candied 38@ 39c; hens at 26@27c; - ducks 28@30c; geese 18@200; roosters 150; turkeys 350 per pound. BUTTER After weeks of rapid fluctuation, the butter market became relatively sta- ble during the past week. Consump: tive demand has increased as a result of lower prices and supplies have been more closely cleaned up. Reports from producing sections indicate a de- crease in the make but the quantities of butter arriving have decreased but little. Prices should hold somewhere near current levels until the flush sea- son is nearer at hand. Prices for 92-score fresh butter are: Chicago 370; New York 37c.

POTATOES Potato markets have been unsettled recently with the demand and move- ment at country shipping points rela- tively slow.

Northern sacked round whites f. o. b. shipping points are quoted at $1.65@1.75 per 100 pounds.

W001 prices at the government auc- tion on February 2 showed an advance of 25 per cent, over the sale early in 'January. The market became less ac- tive in the last week or two but de- veloped life again owing to the out- come of the government sale. In the west the new clip is being contracted at prices as high as 33 cents. Mill consumption during December decreas- ed slightly but was only about 10 per cent less than in October when manu- facturing operations were at their height.

LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Michigan .Live Stock Exchange will be held in the Council Room of the City Hall, in Lansing, February 16,.at 9:00 a. m., for the purpose of electing officers and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. . This is one of the most important meetings’ called since the Exchange was organized. Owing to the fact that two preliminary meetings have been held with representatives from Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, with the ‘view of establishing cooperative commission houses at Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Toledo, it now becomes necessary for the different local co- operative associations to .vote their preferences, and suggest ways and means of establishing/these commis- sion houses, in addition to what has already been done along this line. , Each association is entitled to one voting delegate, who should come in- structed to vote on all questions that may come before the meetign. All associations, whether belonging to the exchange or not, are requested to send representatives—F. E. Comp- son, Secretary-Manager. ' lemes. .Duroe-Jerseyr—Feb. ‘14. J. C.

HE COSTLIEST HABIT in automobile America to- day is the careless buying of automobile engine oil. It is safe to say that at least 50% of all automobile engine repairs are caused by pick— up” lubri— cation. Your best insurance of engine rem/ts is to ask for Gargoyle Mobiloil, being particular to spec- , ify the correct grade for yOur car. When you buy unknown oils, peddled oils or by-product oils, you are admitting to yourself: ‘Oh, I don’t care who made the oil. “I don’t care how much carbon I get. “I don’t mind over— heating,,rapid depreciation, noise or repair bills.” Not a gasoline by-product NINE OUT OF TEN lubricating oils on the market are simply by—products in the manufacture of gasoline. VGargoylc Mobiloil is not a by- product. It is produced by lubrication special- ists who are recognized the world over as leaders in lubricating practice. Gar- » goyle Mobiloil is manufactured from crude oils chosen for their [uérz'catzhg qualities—not for their gasoline con- tent. It iSs manufactured by processes » designed to bring out the highest [uérz'catz'ng value— not the greatest gallonage of gasoline. , This is one of the essential reasons for the superiority of Gargoyle Mobiloil. 6km!” Warning: Don’t be misled by some similar sounding name.
