. International Grand Champion Comes to Michigan

“George Henry”z'r Imported to t/zz's Stare éy IV. E. Scrz'ppr, gamer of W'Mwom’ Farmv

HE name;of Wildwood‘Farms has
ever been synonymous with superla-
tive excellence in the breeding of

, Angus cattle and to its. already; extraordi:

nary prestige is now added the distinction
of being the possessor of\“George Henry,”
the Grand Champion Belgian Stallion at
the Chicago International in 1921. The tra-
dit‘ions and.ideals or Wiidwqod‘rarmshnk-
ed with the painstaking care in breeding
which has always been in evidence should
insure their success as the breeders ‘of Bel-
gian horses ‘of exceptional merit. .The one
dominating idea of Mr. Scripps, the owner
of Wildwood Farms, is pure breeding, and
with this point. 'in- view, success is assured.

The rise of “George Henry" to the most
coVeted' prize at its kind"

in the world has.

.been gradual. As a two-year-old in 1920,
he was first Junior Champion'and Reserve
Champion at the Indiana State Fair. r. Later

'the same year he won the Same prizes at

the International held at Chicago. in De-
cember. His wonderful size, finish, action
and well-balanced conformation as a two-
year-old caused prominent horsemen to

. predict big things for him as a three-year-
. old.~ Amid the, keenest of competition at

the 1921.1nternational, where the finest an—
imals on the continent are assembled for

V the depision of the “Supreme Court” in live

stock matters, he was first placed. at the

head of the three-year—old' class, then Sen:

ior Champion over the winners of the two
older classes, and then with the unanimous
approval of the ringside, “George Henry”

I

was awarded the Grand Championship over
the Junior Champion, “St. Marc.” Both of
these horses are out of the same mare,
“Lina de St. Marc.” These two wonderful
colts, showing together in the “Produce 70f
Dam” class, were outstanding winners.
This famous old matron is still alive and
has a permanent home in Indiana.
Glancing over the pedigree of “George
\Henry,” the connoisseur immediately rec-
ognizes the name of “Camille,” the sire.
.This horse is recognized today as one of
the three best Belgian sires living.‘ The
dam of “George Henry,” “Lina de St.
Marc,” a daughter'of “Hippocrate du Fos-

,teau,” and grand-daughter of the famous

old champion and sire, {‘Brin (1’ Or,"’ holds
a most unique record. (To page 509).

ships for the purpose
of taking the assessment. This year
inaddition, they are collecting'infor-
mation relative to the acreage of crops
that have been planted and will be
planted, the number of bearing fruit
trees, and numbers of each kind of
live stock. While it is the first time
that these data have been collected in
this form’in Michigan, they have been
collected in all of the other "corn belt
states and other important crop states
for a number of years. These states
have found that it enables them to se-
cure the proper viewpoint from which
to construct their marketing programs
and furnishes them at the minimum
of cost the statistics necessary for in-
telligent action.

These items constiute the‘ basic iii-
formation upon which to build produc-
tion estimates and are used solely, for
that purpose, having no relation to the
assessment work. Neither does the in-

' formation for any farm go beyond the
stitistician’s office. Only the state and
county totals are published. ,
By this simple plan, other states
{havetvery complete and accuratesta—
tistics to hand out to their farmers and
_ marketing associations. Many of these
C i states are growing and 'marketlng
crops in competition with our own.

Unless we have edually accurate, time- ,

”1y and reliable informatibnlwe‘ are at
‘a distingt disadvantage.

Both the state and federal depart-
meets of agriculture are constantly be-
m with special requests for more
Special and detained infomdtion about

 

and truck crops, beans,
live stock, which are our leading cash
commodities. These departments are
anxious to meet these requests, com-
ing as ‘they do from those engaged in
improving our marketing faCiiitiesfand
building up cooperative shipping and.
marketing associations and from many
individual farmers.

The collection of these statistics by
supervisors and assessors while visit-
ing each farm for assessing purposes,
saves the greater part of the expense
that would be involved if done as a
separate job. It provides what is prac-

tically an annual census with very lit?

tle additional cost, and far cheaper
than it can be obtained in any other
way.

A number of the statesare already
sending out the crop and market fig-
ures by wireless. The development of
this service will, in a short time, make
all such information available as soon
as prepared, to every farming commu-
nity. Only by thus thoroughly inform~
ing ourselves on crop and marketing
conditions as they exist, not only in
our state, but in competing states-,,can
we hope to successfully compete with
our aggressive neighbors in those
states or curb the activities of the
speculative public. ’ In return, each
community should feel its responsibil-
ity in furnishing cheerfully, promptly
and accurater the information as re-
quired. ' Only in this way can those
charged with the responsibility of pre-
paring and issuing our statistical re-
ports adequately fulfiil their duties in
a manner satisfactory to themselves
and to the public.

ure during the year. ThlS‘iS the sea-‘
son when the great majority of dairy
farmers take the first step in the grow-
ing of feed which will be consumed by
the dairy cows during the coming feed-
ing season.

In looking over his accounts with
the dairy herd, the farmer finds 'that
the feed bill is the big item. In com-
parison with the total cost of dairy
products, the expense of materials for
feed and bedding the animals during
the winter is fully sixty per cent of
the total. Less than twenty per cent
is for labor, while about nineteen pei‘
cent is for'other costs. Even in sum—
mer time the average cost for feed and
bedding represents over forty per cent
of the total spent, labor about twenty-
seven per cent and other costs about
thirty- one per cent. . .

It is apparent from these figures
that to make money with cows the
farmer must look well t9 the produc-
tion of inexpensive yet suitable feeds
for his herds. He will figure out rath—
er closely what he should grow, not
only to provide an abundant, amount
of feed but also to supply the animals
with a well balanced and ’appetizing
menu that will serve to give a heavy
flow of milk.

' We hope that, our readers will not

least, the practice has been followed.

by such good results that it deserves

a tiial by every piogressive potato

we talked with a
farmer who could not find among his
neighbors one or more persons who
belonged to either the class known as
plungers orso those listed as pluggers.

In some lines of business the chanc-
es for the plunger may be fair. In
merchandising and trading it occasion-
ally happens that one may’ stock up
on goods when prices are attractive
and sell in a short time at good ad-
vantage when values have advanced.
But in farming this situation seldom
occurs. There are so many persons
conqerned in the production of farm
crops and the long period of time be—
tween the day for seeding and the day
to market gives too wide a chance for
conditions to change completely from
one extreme to another that plunging
has not advanced. the farmer as it has
some other kinds of businesses;

Take for example the poultry and
the hog‘departments of farming today.
These two lines have been among the
best profit makers this past year. The
chances are that so many farmers will
fOrget that prices are still controlled
very largely by supply and demand
and :go in strong for these ‘two lines
of production with the almost certain
result that prices will break from an
over supply and’the anticipated profits
will shrink or fade away entirely.
Booms are invariably folloWed by
breaks. The farmer’vVho works out a
system of farming well suited to his
soil, climate and market conditions
and then sticks to his system through
sunshine and storm is the one who is
most likely to prosper in the.long run.
Our best advice is, therefore, to plug
and not to plunge. It is bette1 to eat
moderate meals regularly than to feast
today and to have nothing tomorrow.

CorresponDUNCE

HE other day the Michigan Farm-
er folks sent me this letter what
come to me at their oflice. I give it
as it was wrote, with the spellin' and
everything like‘ it was.
It goes like this:

Mr. Hy Syckie

Cr; Michigan Farmer
Detroit, Mich.

Dear Mr. Syckle:

If I was Mrs. Syckle I would not let
you write some \of the things you do.
You pay too much attention to the
women. And from reading your writ-
ings I cannot tell
just what your at-
titude toward the

a...

women is.
But there is one
thing regarding

this matter to
which I seriously
object. You have
said that women
are all alike and
'if a man would
, act “broke- like, "
‘ they would use
their chicken money to furnish the
table.

The woman who does that is no?

standing upon her rights. A woman
has a right to what she earns and Is
being decidedly underpaid as it is. I
for one do not follwv this practice and
have upheld the dignity of women by
doing so:
' Thus far I have not found a man
who is man enough to agree to my,
views on this matter, but I shall stick
to my views even if I am a. martyr to
the cause.

 

Yours truly,
CLARA WILSON.

MICHIGAN farmer told me that

his neighbor after threshing his

oats, had said, “I never remem-

ber seeing such a rusted crop. What
about this barberry business ?”

This farmer probably spoke the gen-

eral mind of Michigan farmers, “What
about this barberry business?”

Barberry eradication as a- national

move took its origin in war time, but
it was not the result of snap judgment.
In 1865 a great botanist, DeBary, prov-
ed that the black stem rust of grains
required two entirely different species
of plants on which to complete its life
cycle+—(1)_the grain or grass, and (2)

the’ common or purple barberry. Slowe '

ly the case made by DeBary was ac-
cepted, by scientific men and countless
other examples of this peculiar phe-
nomenon of requiring two hosts to
complete the life cycle were discov-
ered. .

Although scientiSts were slow to ac-
cept the facts, the case was quite dif-
ferent with the farmer. He not only
accepted the facts when presented, but
he anticipated the scientific discovery
by a little more than a century. In
.1755 the legislature of the colony of
Massachusetts passed a law:

_ “An act to prevent damage to Eng-
lish grain arising from barberry
bushes:

“Whereas, it has been found by ex-
perience that the blasting of wheat
and other English grain is often occa-
sioned by barberry- bushes, to the
great loss and damage of the inhabit-
ants of this province:

“Be it therefore enacted by the gov-
er or, council, and. hous of represent-
at ves, that whoever, hether com-
munity or private person, having any
barberry bushes standing or growing
on his or their land, within any of the
towns in this province, he or they'shall
cause the same to’be extirpated or de-
stroyed on or before the thirteenth day
of June, Anno-Domini, one thousand
seven hundred and sixty.” From the
Province Laws of Massachusetts, 1736-
1761, p. 153.

Now this law was a good law and a
wise one. It had just one fault—it
gave the people five years to destroy
the bushes and, like many another
which has graced the statute books, it
became a dead letter before the bar-
berries were eradicated.

The’ped‘pleof Massachusetts kept
their barberries but gave up their
grains. Look, if you care__to, at the
grain production of those states which
once garnered in enormous yields and
you’Wiil see the situation. The New

England hills teem with wild bushes,

‘the offspring of the bushes which the

shrewd farmers of a century ago
sought to “extirpate.” The story of
New England grain production, or
rather, the lack of it, is writ on those
rocky hills festooned with the spiny
bush.

It remained for the scientist to take
the mystery-out of the pernicious be-
havior of the barberry. DeBary show-
ed that stem rust is caused by a fun-
gus with many stages in its life cycle.
On the grain the r-ust’is first red, then

again and again, produces wholesale
infection and the epidemic is on.

Farmers fought the barberry wher-
ever they felt its local effects, but
scientific men mulled over the situa-
tion and‘in the meanwhile the barber-
ry got established.

Every New Englander who settled in
Michigan seems to have brought his
barberries. with him. It was his neme-
sis. Bushes seventy-five or eighty
years of age _are to be found common-
ly in the older parts of Michigan and
each one of these has become the

changes to black. The black 1ust re-

mains in the field in the stubble and.

from the stubble a peculiar spring
stage is blown by the wind to the bar-
berry.

Here the rust produces cluster cups
filled with “yellow dust,” and this dust
is capable of infecting the grain. It
is a peculiarity of the rust that the
spores (“yellow dust”) produced on
the barberry will not infect the bar-
berry again, but can only‘ infect the
grass host on which the red rust is
formed.

Thus the cycle is completed. But~

the fungus is especially equipped to
bring about its spread. The led rust
stage is a repeating stage and is capa-
ble of infecting the grass~host over
and over. again. Thus, starting from

een monthsJater besides clearing a good bit of his fand, he had erected the splendid building's which you see.
One of the things which handicapped the average settler of the past was too little cleared land and equipment to; go ahead with production on a
profit-making basis. The practice then was to clear an acre or two about the house and on this small plot to eke out a poor living for himself and
family until he, single-handed, could clear enough ground and build buildings suitable for raising crops and growing stock on a profit-making basis.

great-great-grandfather of barberries
wlfich have escaped far and wide in
the woodlots. Carried by birds, the
seeds- have sprouted and produced
thickets-which almost seem to defy
destruction.

The barberry campaign started
against the protest of the scientific
men. The Tri-state Grain Growers’
League, taking notice of the single-
handed attempt of North Dakota to
eradicate barberry, passed resolutions
which called on congress to act, and
congress, when presented with the evi-
dence, appropriated $150,000 annually
to eradicate the “pesky” bush.

Complications. ‘ 5

But the situation is not so simple
as the story outlined'so far would lead
you to believe. There is always the

possibility that the red rust spores

live over winter, and thus rust begins

~Ceiling ”Of Ear/y MM a. Great Long Stride

  
    

and develops iriespective of the bar- 3:,
berry.

Doubtless in the great variations of
nature some conditions exist which
permit wintering of the red rust '

 
     
     
  
     
   
   
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
  
   
   
 
  
  
  
 
    
   
  
  
     
   
 
    
   
   
    
  
  
     
   
  
   
   
  
  
   
    
    
     
    

spores. They winter commonly in the
south, probably uncommonly in the
north. The significant thing is that. '

the surge of rust starts only after the
barberries have rusted and shed their
yellow dust.

The efforts of the first two years
were concentrated on the city barber-5
ries. Then with the cities freed from
barberries, survey of the farms was
begun. In 1920, a force of five men
with three automobiles began'a sys-
tematic farm to farm survey in Mon“
roe county. Every road in the county
was traversed, every dooryard inspect-
ed, and where suspicion pointed to a
woodlot this was gone over. This work
continued until October 1 and five of
the counties of the lower tier were
covered thmoughly.

The results from Lenawee county
showedihirty-one farm locations with
a total of nearly 5,000 bushes. In two
cases, the barberries were wild in
woodlots. Those in the country are
in greater numbers than the city plant-
ings and they are so placed as to do ‘
the most harm. This year work start-
ed in St. Joseph county and this coun- '
ty, too, shows what may be expected
in old settled districts. Probably five 5
more counties will be covered this
year. In every county country hedges L
and old bushes are found.

Wild ,Barberries. r,

Were barberries merely exerting- .5
their influence from this dooryard or ‘3
that, the situation would be bad
enough. But in the survey work done

so far, barberries have been found

wild in many places. They were found

wild in woodlots in Lenawee, Hillsdale

and St. Joseph counties. They are

wild all along the Huron River. They

are wild along the_Kawkawlin River

in Bay county, and in the woods near

Midland, Michigan. They are wild in __

the sand dunes along Lake Michigan, "I"

especially around Saugatuck and Fenn— {.ff

ville. They are wild in the dunes 2,.

about Empire, Benzie county, and in

' the 01d Mission Peninsula. There are .

MINING SI-TUATION INVESTI-

. GATED.

 

HE strike of the coal miners has
led to an extensive investigation
' of. the coal mining situation in hear-
ings before the house committee on'
labor. Representatives of "the miners’
unions have testified to the unsatisfac-
tory condition of labor in the mining
districts. One union leader voiced the
sentiment of the miners’ spokesmen
when he said that it is “our belief that
an industry which gives only one hun-
dred days’ work a year needs a reor-
ganization.” The miners have display-
ed a strong leaning toward govern-
ment'operation of the mines.
The mine operators have testified
that if the miners secure their de-
, mands,-it will mean a further advance
in the price of coal. It is apparent
from the evidence brought.out so far
that. the operators are making a de-
termined effort to break up the collec-
tive bargaining system with organized
labor. Evidence was also given that
so far as bituminous coal is concerned,
there are too many mines in operation
and too many persons dependent upon
coal mining for a livelihood.

FARM CREDIT BILLS MOVE
‘SLOWLY.’

 

HE snail-like pace at which farm
Eredit bills are traveling through
the house banking and currency com.
mittee is causing some comment in
Washington. The
bill, McFadden—Kenyon bill, Simmons
bill, Strong bill and several'other rural
credit propositions all appear to have
considerable difficulty in getting by
this committee. However,
are being given on the general Credit
situation. J. D. Phillips, a member of
, the rural credits committee of the Na-
tional Bankers’ Association, appeared
before the committee this
gave his impressions of the situation
in the middle west.

Mr. Phillips said he did not believe
the long-term personal credit to farm-
ers should be made through the Fed-
eral Farm Loan system or the‘ Federal

. Reserve system. °

ESCANABA WANTS RELIEF.

 

N unusual situation has been pre-
sented to the State Commission of
Inquiry into taxation by Representa-
tive Peter Jensen and Orren 1. Ban-
deen, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, Escanaba, Michigan.
Escanaba has railroad property hav-
ing an estimated value of from $8,000,-
000 to $15,000,000. The income derived
from the tax on this property goes into
the primary school fund of which Es-
canaba receives no more than any oth-
er city, having the same school census.
An assessed valuation of $8,200,000, ex-
'3 g elusive of railroad property in Esca-
naba, must bear the burden of provid-
ing schools, streetsnsewers; police and
fire protection, garbage disposal, parks,
etc., for the population of 14,000: ap-
proximately forty per cent of ’which
are the employee, and families of the
employes of railroad industries, which
help in no direct way to share the bur-
den of the city.
. The result in Escanaba is that her
« tax rate in 1921 was $52.41 per thou-
sand as against $28.88 per thousand;
the average fo1 the state, and her as-
sessed valuation per capita is less than
$600. Her high school attendance has
‘ ncreased forty-five per cent within ‘the
1 last: three years, and additional school
acilities must be provided. In her re-
meat for relief Escanaba asks that an.
ption be made in the present meth-

0d of distributing primary school in-

townships in which the value of rail-
road property other than rolling stock,
as shall have been determined by the
state board of assessors, exceeds twen.

ty per cent of the total assessed value

of all other assessable property. .

In this case it is requested that
eighty per cent‘ of the income derived
from the tax on said railroad property
be paid to the treasurer of the board
of education in the city in which the
property is- located. It is probable
that only three towns would come un-
der this exception, and that the pri~
mary school interest fund would not
be affected by more than two or three
pei cent.

The. Escanaba Chamber of Com-
merce invites inquiries concerning the
proposal.

HARDING PRESENTED WITH "VIR-

THE , NEW PRODUCE EXCHANGE.

 

ULES and regulations to govern

the Farm _Bureau Produce Ex-
change to be established shortly
the Detroit market, were adopted by

the StategFarm Bureau board of direct- '

ors on April 12. It was announced that
.Mr. F. A. L. Bloom, of Detroit, for sev-
eral years manager of the American
Fruit Growers, Inc,
tory, will be managerrof the Farm Bu-
reau Produce Exchange. The Ex-

- change expects to begin operations be-

tween May 15 and June 1 and will re-
ceive produce only frommember asso-
ciations, according to the rules and
regulations. The Exchange is organ-
iz'éd as a department of the State Farm
Bureau. I '

The Farm Bureau Produce Exchange
has/for its- purpose, according to its
regulations, to provide “without profit
and on a purely cooperative basis a re-
liable distribution and sales service for
the produce handled‘by local units of
the Michigan State Farm Bureau and
by other cooperative associations of
producers which are now or later to
become affiliated with" the bureau,;”
also, to establish at Detroit as condi-
tions may warrant, offices, warehouses
and’ other facilities for carrying on
such a business. The Exchange will
not charge more than the customary
commission for its service and will en-
deavor to effect sales and distribution
service savings for its members, it
said. The Exchange plans to maintain
close contact with its member associ-
ations“ when it begins to market and
will notify them when it‘is ready. Thir-
-ty local farm bureau associations were
reported ready to sign membership
contracts at the time the rules and reg-
ulations were adopted.

Membership in the Exchange is lim-
ited to producers organized to market
farm/product on purely cooperative
lines and who conform to the rules of
the Ex‘change, affiliation with the State
'Farm Bureau being necessary for
membership. Each local. association
at the time of uniting with the Ex

change is to pay a membership fee of ,

$25 and sign a marketing contract with
the Exchange. The fee goes into a
fund to provide working capital for the
Exchange.

The Produce Exchange plans to de-
velop grades and brands which will
identify its products, will assist in the
collection- and dissemination of pro
duce cropfilnformation, will work to
develop Michigan and outside markets
for Michigan produce and will assist
the members with their produce trans.
portatio'n difficulties.

April 21 County Farm Bureau repre-
sentatives from the Thumb districts
were to meet in Detroit to consider or-
ganization and operation of the Pro-
duce Exchange. -.

EOPLE are eating more vitamines
than ever before. Consequently
there has been an increased “de-

.mand for the vitamins foods—vegeta-

bles and dairy products, particularly
the former. Celery growers say that
there is a greater demand for celery.
Increased acreages of vegetable crops
grown for canning point to a greater
consumption of canned products. Peon

‘ple ”are becoming more and more ac:

customed to the liberal use of vege-
tables, in their diet.

Growth in population also has neces-
sitated the withdrawal of land used
for ordinary field crops to be devoted-
to the more intensive vegetable crops.
The production of canning and truck
crops is no longer limited to the east-
ern states, but is gradually spreading
through the middle western states.

In Michigan the cereals occupy
about five million acres, potatoes, sug-
ar beets and beans—the’ cash crops—-
approximately 700,000 acres, and the
canning and truck crops. about 50,000
acres. The value of the latter, how-
ever, is often several times that of the

cereal crops or even the more widely
grown cash crops.

This land must be handled in an en-
tirely different manner than that in
field crops. Intensive crops require in-
tensive methods and therefore special
treatment of the soil is generally high-
ly profitable. Canning and truck crops
are heavy feeders, and the Soil can
hardly“7 be too rich if maximum yields
are to be obtained. The liberal use of
manure supplemented with acid phos-
phate or complete fertilizers is essen— -
tial. Good care and fertilization are
doubly important and doubly profitable
in years when natural conditions are
not so favorable to/the crop. results
in Washington county, Ohio reported
in Ohio Bulletin 334, are an example
of how yields may be increased, and

‘ are given below.

Quality |s\ Important.

Quality is a most important factor
in the market value of vegetable
crops. Succulency, tenderness, firm-
ness, ability to stand up well, color and
freedom from stringiness are neces-
sary and canbe influenced to a mark-

m'eetings in the preliminary

drainage campaign recently staged in
Sanilac county than the promoters of
the project had dared to expect. In-

held in CmsWell, Carsonville, Bro

ed out for the gatherings. During the

entire time, a total attendance of more
than 1,100 heard the discussion of lo-
cal drainage problems. i 7 '

A lecture on drainage given by O. E.

ed degree by soil treatment. Plenty
of available nitrogen-makes for succu-
lency and tenderness. Potash gives a

, - ‘, more highly colored, and firmer prod-

uct. Phosphoric acid makes plants
more prolific, though when used alone
this tendency is apt to;occur at the ex-
pense of size and quality. Therefore
a well-balanced fertilizer is necessary.
Most soils are deficient in phosphorus,
and usually respond at first to this
more than to the other fertilizing ele-
ments.

A well prepared seed- bed and good
seed or strong plants are essential to
the best results from fertilizer, remem-
bering, of course, that humus is the
life of the soil. Soils containing plenty
if organic matter start the plants more
quickly, cultivate more easily, and car-
ry the plants through a period of
drought in better condition than soils
lacking humus. Low yields are often

 

caused by exhaustion of the- soil 01‘-
ganic matter. Barnyard manure ‘is not
always available in sufficient quanti-
ties, and it is usually too expensive to
buy. Cover and green manure crops
must therefore be depended upon very
largely to maintain the humus suppiy.
Rye and vetch are two of the most val-
uable cover crops for Michigan condi-
tions. Rotation of vegetable crops with
legumes and cereal crops is very good
practice.

Accompanying table gives some fer-
tilizer recommendations for vegetable
crops for various soils. Where manure.
is used heavily, the ammonia and pot-
ash can be cut down, Under certain
conditions the ammonia and potash
can be increased to good advantage.
Applications of‘from two hundred and
fifty to one thousand pounds per acre
are recommended, depending on the
crop and the fertility of the soil.

opportunity afforded every farmer to
watch the operations and note the re-
sults in the years 'to come.
Threehundred thousand of Sanilac’s
624,000 acres need ditching, says Mr.
Robey, who points out that the added
benefits to be derived from this work,

'in removing excess water, letting air

into soil, mellowing soi, warming soil,
relasing plant food, and lengthening
the growing season, have in many cas-
es paid for the-actual operations in
one or two years’ crop production.

Bankers and business men of the
country, realizing what increased pros-
perity for the farmers of their locality
means to them, are cooperating with
the enterprise in every way possible
and thus the financial side of any

sured. / '

COWPEAS oh SOY-BEANS FOR
SOIL BUILDING.

 

’ I have some light sandy soil, in a
run-down condition, and would like to
know which is the better to use, cow-
peas or soy-beans for rebuilding same,
and also for hay. How much of either
should be sown per acre? Would you
advise me to inoculate the seed? Some"
folks advise using cowpeas and others
soy—beans, therefore making it hard for
me to decide.-G. W. L.

Results of tests conducted at the
M. A. C. Experiment Station show
that for the greater part of Michigan,
the soy-bean is a higher yielder and a
more dependable crop than the Cow-
pea. Good yields of cowpeas are fre-
quently secured in the southwestern
part of the state in favorable seasons.

The cowpea is not so resistant to
cool weather when first planted and is
more susceptible to fall frosts than the
soy-bean. We believe you will find
the soy-bean more dependable over a
period of years than cowpeas.

The Manchu, Ito San and Black Eye-
brow are the leading varieties of soy-
beans under Michigan conditions.
When sown in twenty-eight-inch rows,
would recommend from thirty-five to
forty pounds of seed per acre. When

. drilled in solid, ninety pounds of seed "

per acre should be sown.

If the crop has not been grown on
the soil pfeviously, would recommend
inopulating the seed. Material for in:
oculatiOn may be secured from the De

partment of Bacteriology, East Lan- q
.sing, Mich, for twenty-five cents per

bottle. One bottle contains sufficient
material to inoculate one bushel of
seed, directions for using accompany
the bottles—J. F. C.

CANNOT GET BUTTER. -

 

Can you tell me what is the matter
with the cream or the'cows? After
churning for about fifteen hours I still
could not get it td come to butter. I
finally threw the cream out. I thought'

1 it too sour, so now I am trying some
; that is not very sour andI

have no
results yet ..-——B E.

It is often difficult to make butter
cream 1 in cows that are nearly

 

dry. This may account for the trou-
ble you are having, or it may be that
the feed is causing the trouble. Some
feeds produce .’ butter-fat of small
globules, which are difficult to gather
into masses of butter-fat known as but-.
ter. Timothy hay, cornstalks and cot-
tonseed meal all produce butter-fat of
small globules. If you are not already
feeding any bran or oil meal, a little

Iof one or both of these feeds might

prove helpful.

As soon as you have fresh cows, or
they are turned out to pasture, the
difficulty‘will probably disappear. If
you will warm the dreamconsiderably
above the temperature in which you
ordinarily churn by setting the cream
in warm water before churning and, if
necessary, pour hot water into the

,cream after you begin churning, you

probably will be able to -get the butter
to come. But on the other hand, you
may have some difficulty in working'it
because of the fact that it would be

u:

rather soft at the start and it will be
necessary to cool it down considerably
before trying to work it at all.

'If none of these changes eliminate
the difficulty, '1 please Write us again,
giving "more in detail the. feeds‘ you
are feeding and the dates your cows

WHAT CAN HE SOW FOR HAY
' CROP?

 

What would be best to/ sow on four
acres of corn ground for hay this com—
ing summer? How would rye and win-
ter vetch be? What amount should be
sown and when to sow?—--W. P.

Fall rye sown in the spring does not
usually produce a satisfactory yield.

We have found a mixture of two
bushels of oats and twenty pounds ’of
hairy vetch quite satisfactory as a hay
crop. Over a three-year period, we
have secured an: average yield of ,over
two tons of well cured hay per acre.

But in order to make this department of the greatest aid
to Michigan Farmer readers and knowing that infirmities are sure
to creep into the lives of the most careful persons, the Doctor will
always extend a helpful sympathy to the man or woman who finds
himself or herself in physical difficulties.

“One of our greatest physicians,” said Dr. Lerrigo, a short while
ago, “expressed an opinion that the Widest absurdity found in clev-

solely on the recommendation of those who make enormous profits

Here are some of the things that Dr. Lerrigo hopes to do.

one mating is usually enough to fer-
tilize several eggs and might be
enough to produce a good per cent of
fertility in an entire setting. The num-
ber of fertile eggs produced from one
mating seems to depend on, the indi-
viduality of the birds. If the eggs are
laid soon after the death of the tom
they willibe apt to be .all right, but
after several weeks I should consider
it necessary to have a new male with

POOR STAND OF SWEET CLOVER.

 

I have about six ac1es which I had
in corn last year, which we seeded to
sweet clover and got a p001 stand.
The land is a sandy loam and has been
run badly. We wish to seed it to sweet
clover. It is free f1om all weeds.
Would it pay to sow sweet clover on
it the first thing this spring by inocu-
lating the seed and then take a spike-
tooth harrow and go over it to cove1
the seed? Do you think we could get
a stand that way on the same ground?
—A Reade1.,

Sweet clover is very valuable as a
crop for building up a sandy soil.
SWeet clover, however, is sensitive to
your soil is a
sandy loam and badly run, it is quite
likely that it is acid.

Two tons of finely ground limestbne
or from three to five cubic yards of

' marl should be applied to correct’ this

condition. This should be applied
while preparing the seed- bed for sweet
clover.

Since the land is quite free from
weeds and it is very essential that the
seed-bed be well firmed for sweet clo-
ver, \would recommend that you go
over the land with a harrow, seed
broadcast and then cover with a light
application of the spike-tooth barrow.

The seed should be inoculated. Ma-

-. N; metre nee Conferences with.

Europeanf'nations in regard ‘to
' the. eleven and one-third billions
of War debt they owe Uncle Sam, and”
'ho'w it shall be refunded and paid, I
have just seen a pamphlet emanating
' district
whi'Ch urges ,us to make the allied
debt a perpetual trust fund to be ad-
ministered by the allied governments
for the benefit of the’allied peoples.
'This beautifully altruistic dream is
not at all after the usual manner of
our table—pounding, hard-fisted finan-
Readi‘ng further we learn:

“This would be, good business, for
the United States. It would relieve
Europe .from'the necessity of sending
us‘ five hundred millions of dollars in
gold per annum for interest .which

Europe would have to pay in goods
(our financiers having the world’s gold

supply pretty well cornered) for in
sending us these goods Europe "would
have to underbid our manufacturers in
the“ home market and so would take

" work aWay from our workers.”

I believe we can meet that situation,
when it develops, without making Eu-
rope a present of eleven or twelve bil-
lion dollars from the pockets of Amer-
ican taxpayers.

If this statement had come out flat-
footedly and said: “We think you
ought to forgive Europe this debt. We
fear if you do not she will have to re

V .pay her debt in goods and that would

slow down our corporate industries
and they would pay 118‘ lower divi-
dends”—-that wouldn’t sound so altru-
istic, but I think it would be a good
many notches nearer the truth.

It is easy to be generous with other
folks’ money. In the main it was the
people of the United States and not
the financier, you remember, who lent
those billions .to the allies during the

war that the allies might buy munin

tions, equipment and war supplies from
our,corporations, chiefly owned, or
financed, by the big financiers. And
how those dividends rolled in.

Now what these financiers modestly
ask is that the American people who
lent Europe this money, make an out-
and—out contribution of these billions
to the allies at an average cost of $100
for every man, woman and child in

. the United States.

In other words, let "the people pay
this debt of the European governments
,by taxing themselves for-it.

It hardly seems likely that the peo-
ple will see the matter in this light,
and I much question that they should.

Why, for instance, should AmeriCan
farmers and Wage—earners pay the
three and three-quarter billions France
owes us? 'That France may continue
to maintain 800,000 men in arms, the
largest army in the world? “

Why should our taxpayers pay the
one hundred and forty-eight millions
that Poland owes us? To assist that
country to keep an army of 600,000
men? ,

Also, ought We to tax ourselves to

I think not. I shall certainly not
stand ' for ‘ any such transactions.

.We ha‘Ve repaid ten times over the
debt of gratitude we owed to France
for‘ what she did for us in WaShing-
ton’s time. And both during the war
and since, the old world has hadno
cause to complain of a. lack of substan-

our kindness of heart. Notwithstand-
ing the allies seem to love us so much,
judged by the conduct 'of their several
governments, that_in dividing a few
billions of gold marks from Germany

requested by them and the terms

. Germany, it seems to me, is setting
the rest of Europe a most valuable
example at this time. Without friends
and knowing it must depend on itself,
Germany has resolutely turned its
back on the past and gone to work
with a will. As soon as our friends,
the allies, find they cannot work Uncle.
Sam for any more beneficiaries, I be:
lieve they will follow in Germany’s
footsteps. The greatest kindness we.
can show to Europe at this time is not

What this country must demand,l
and I believe will demand, both for ltsl
own sake and for the effect it will have
in compelling European governments.
to settle down, if notsettle up, is
prompt payment in future, of the in”
terest on this foreign debt and a thor-
ough understanding in regard to the
payment of the principal.

The conference to be held with rep-
resen atives of European nations in
Washington this month should result
in a debt-funding commission provid-
ing- for these governments to issue
bonds ata uniform rate of interest,
the bond-s to mature and be retired at
stated periods, in this way extinguish:
ing the debtvby degrees. The bonds
being negotiable, could be sold to pri-
vate individuals as are the bonds of
our own government. '

The idea that the allied govern-
ments cannot pay their debts has been
exploded and here, is the proof: In
addition to the big war loan from
Uncle Sam, these governments have:
floated, more than two and one-half
billion dollars of private loans in the
United States. J. P. Morgan & Com-
pany report that one thousand seven
hundred sixty-nine millions of these
loans have been paid ofi, reducing the
total to eight hundred and eighteen
millions.

It is- therefore quite evident Europe
can pay, for Europe is paying. Let'us
hear no more nonsense about a cancel-
lation of the foreign debt owed to the
taxpayers of this country. “From ev-
ery man according to his ability to
every man according to his need.”

.—————————/ ON THE SCHOOL QUESTION. '
THE SWEET CLOVER QUESTION. . 1 *

 

I-IAVE been an interested reader of
the for and against rural and con-
solidated school articles.

Oul school house has been built for
about eight years and has room for
about sixty pupils.

The school house is built in‘ one cor-
ner of an acre lot, level and hard and
grassy. We have a drive well, drink-
ing fountain, library, woodshed and
outbuildings. In fact, ours was the
first standard school in the county and
has kept its place. I

We have somewhere around two
.thousand dollars in grounds, buildings,
etc. We have been” very lucky in get-
ting good teachers who took an inter-
est in the scholars as well as their pay
check.

One of our fourteen-year-old pupils
passed over ninety-eight last fall at
the examination and took the free trip
to the ’State Fair. Two of our schol-
al's are now attending high school.

Now, then, we are not in the center
of the town. The center is on a sand
hill and a poor old school house with
some of the roughest scholars that
ever went to school. In fact, in one
term they had four teachers before
they found one to finish the term.

Now, is it likely we would be willing
to scrap our standard schopl and‘help
build a new school house and turn our
quiet children into such a bunch of.
rowdies? I’ll say not, for they can get
all the exercise they need playing ball,
as the district owns a ball and bats,
and all the books used. This is quite
an item when parents are moving from
one district to another, as some par.
cuts are fond of doing.

I would _like to ask the gentleman.
whose little girl was learning too niuch
trash what better off she would be in
a consolidated' school as she would
have the same children, and perhaps
worse ones. And if he lived very far
flom the school she wOuld be with
them longer going and coming, unless
he took her himself.

In my opinion, country boys do very
well without a gym—«A Farmer’s Wife.

 

RARELY indulge in criticism, but

sometimes I do, but not till I feel
quite sure that I have gone to the bot-
tom of the matter in questiOn. In my
mind, the Michigan Farmer is just‘
about as good a paper as it is possible
for human minds to conceive and di-
rect. Most of my neighbors think about
the same. We feel that we could not
farm properly without it. \

Now, in an effort to satisfy your ap-
petite for criticism, -I’ll drop just a
word here. In your issue of March 18-,
your editor saw fit to publish a rather
pessimistic article about sweet clover,
by Mr. Hutchins. According to his, own
statements, Mr. Hutchins’ experience
with the plant has been very limited.
Yet he ventured to advance the opin-
ion that lack of lime in the soil was
not the cause of’failure in his case.

A careful experimenter would not
venture to express a positive opinion
after such a limited experience, but it
looks very much as if the lack of lime.
was the only limiting factor, in his
case. Then he sounds a warning
against becoming too enthusiastic over
sweet clover.

We farmers who, for many months
past have been feeding tons of sweet
clover hay, while skeptical and less
progressive farmers have been buying
their roughage, will smile and contin»
ue to sow sweet clover and alfalfa.
However, many who do not know, will
heed Mr. Hutchins’ false warning and.
continue to‘plod in the rut.

Though I have been experimenting
with sweet clover for many years I
still have much to learn. My experi-
ence with lime has been limited to a
study of results under natural condi-
tions. Part of our soil is full of lime,
and part is very sour. This year I
shall use ground limestone on at least
one demonstration plot. Will send you
a photo, some day, that will prove that .
my enthusiasm is pardonable.—-—Leslie

HUBAM vs. BIENNIAL swear
CLOVER.

 

. A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.
HERE is a. great deal said the
present day in favor of the Hubam
or white blossom, annual sweet clover.
I have raised some myself, but really
for myself prefer the biennial as I us-
ually get three cuttings and never less
than two. Of course where one wants,
a quick crop the Hubam" will fill the
place very satisfactorily. But when
one can get a crop of hay the same
season with biennial I think much is
gained even though the first season
crop be not so heavy as with annual.
The biennial being much hardier will
do much better in a cool season and
almost as well in a warm season. I
find the Hubam is very slow to start
and weeds and grass make good‘head-
way long before the Hubam gets much
of a start. The Hubam I raised -I cul-

that he had time nor temper to perige.

among its lecturers some of the best

asa boy. A very few small stores on-
either side of a sandy street out of
‘which enterprising citizens of the town
were 'digging the last of the; stumps.
A humble school building which "soon
proved too small for the needs of the
"town; no church but a ball over a
store in which‘Congregationalists and _
Methodists worshiped together each
Sabbath morning. ' ,In the background

the other the trees came within a short
walk of the center of the village.-

I Among the chartergmembers of ma »

ternal Grange wgre some yery capable
people. . Brother George W. Woodward
who used to tour the conntry installing
Grange ofiicers, delivering addresses
and encouraging the new Granges to
do better work. Then there were W.
H. Barry, Mrs. Payne and Brother and
Sister Adams, father and mother of A.
J. Adams, past master of Fraternal
Grange and past master and lecturer
of Oceana Pomona. There were other
splendid men and women in that com-
pany who, like_those we have mention-
ed contributed liberally to the success
of this Grange and who, like them,
have one by one completed the labors
of the day and. passed to their final
reward. . .

Back there in the :70’s the Grange
.had not been tested out. It was rather
a dream, a hope or a prophesy of the
future. This being true, most of- the
Granges in Oceana county ceased to
rmeet after a few years and only Fra-
ternal and Sylvan Granges remained
alive. At different times each of these
experienced a short period of rest but
never for long and there has been no
time when one of them was~not hold-
ing regular meetings. These Granges
exchanged visits not long ago, the re-
turn visit being made to Fraternal
Grange. For several years the meet-
ings have been held_ out of town in a
rural school building. The membership
of‘two strong Granges filled the room
to overflowing, on the day of which we
.write. The good people of Fraternal
Grange proved royal entertainers and
it was -there and then that the yriter
. resolved to passon to the readers of

, this paper the story of their success.
“By' their, fruits ye \shall‘ know
them," saidvthe great teacher, looking
, back over nearly live decades, the
membership of this Grange can. afford
to bethus known. During those years
every great 'question in legislation. af-
fecting the farmer’hasbeen fully dis-
cussed? A large number of. men and
'women have felt the obligation of cit.

the present lecturer, should be includ-
ed.» Her programs are highly interest-
ing and, along with plenty of entertain-
ment, one may find questions in agriv
culture, home economics, legislation
and community betterment. Along
with the Grange has come 'a literary
society opening its (10ch to all and
cooperating With the Grange, thus de-
veloping a fine community spirit and
assisting in the work of “the great
school out of school.” ‘ ‘
Muchvh‘as been written and said
about Americanization and doubtless

there is room for a great deal more on‘

the subject but, no matter how much
at variance our opinions may be, all

agree that one thing at least is vital, '

and that is the betterment of life in

.the country. No farm organization in
existence is better fitted to serve the '
‘people in the country than the Grange. '

Fraternal Grange is doing its part and
thus is it justifying the hopes and ex-
pectations of the pioneers who long
ago brought to the altar of the order,
at each successive meeting, the best
in their lives—W. F. TAYLOR.

Vespasian was emperor when this pipe was made

water-pipes of lead in the streets of Rome, he followed

his legions into barbarian lands. Lead pipe laid by
these Roman invaders has been dug from English soil.

Civilization has found hundreds of uses for lead and
its products, and of them all the use of white-lead in
paint is undoubtedly the mostjmportant.
Paint is used to decorate and preserve almost every-
thing that is built or made, and the principal factor in

good paint is white-lead—made by corroding pure

metallic lead and mixing it with linseéd oil.

.Most painters simply add more linseed oil to the
white-lead, in order to make the paint they Use. Paint
manufacturers use white-lead, in varying quantities,
in the paint they make. The quality of any paint is
largely dependent on the amount of white-lead it con-
tains, for it is the white-lead that gives to good paint
its durability. _

The Strawberry Patch '

7. . \Itr Place in flit/w [Jami—Garden
' By E.~V.‘Root

' HERE is no fruit that appeals
, to ‘the universal. taste like the
strawberry. However, compar-
atively few pedffle have the pleasure
of taking the fruit from” their own
vines, not seeming to realize how very
easy it is. to grow this wonderful ber-
ry and what a wealth of goodness can
be taken from asmall patch.
‘ The strawberry, while supposed to
do its best on a sandy loam will grow
on any soil and is found‘ in the wild
State everywhere from swamp to hill-
top. Soil is not then a disadvantage

5to be reckoned with. O

' The best’time to plant is spring, as
soon as plants have made a growth.
From April 15 to May 1 in the south-
ern counties. Plants should be taken
from a setting of the preceding year.
Roots of plants. set should be'white
and fibrous. Do not set plants with
stalky, dark colored roots as they will
not make a satisfactory growth. The

' ground should be prepared as for any

crop and if the patch to be set' is small
a string can be stretched in place of
marking. The easiest way to plant is

to use a straight spade to make the-
' holes.

Shove thespade straight down
six 'or eight inches, move handle back
and farth, parting the ground, remove
spade and make another hole two feet
beyond. After making holes for two
or three rows (dirt should not dry out
in hole). take your ba ket of plants
which previously have gbeen trimmed
to the last leaf but with stemscf out-
er leaves left to protect crown, and
picking up plants by the stubs of the
leaves ’whiLthe roots into hole made
by the spade pressing the soil firmly,
around the“plant with the foot.

The best time to set plants is when
the dirt is moist following a rain, a1-
tho\ugh unless soil is very dry there
will be practically no loss. In. a com-
mercial field Iberries are usually set

two feet apart and in rows four feet-

apart and it takes from. fifty-two to
fifty-five hundred plants to set an acre.
If soil is fertile and the ground of

- such composition that it docs not eas-

ily 'dry out, plants may be set three
(feet apart in the row and it will then

. take about 3,500 plants to the acre. If

the ground is in good condition for

' planting, that is, dry enough so that
'dirt does not cling to tool used for

making holes,,and moist enough so
that dirt does not run back into holes
(two men will plant an acre a day.
The writer has set three-quarters of
an acre alone and in addition dig {and

trimmed his plants but, of course, was
working for himself. Setting a patch
of one or two hundred plants for the
home garden is a matter of just a few
minutes.

During the first summer the plants
should be hoed 'or cultivated often, the
first runners being straightened out
with a little/\dirt thrown on them to
hold them in place, and thus fill the
row with plants. The rows of plants
should be held to two feet in 'width,
leaving two feet between rows and
when a matted row two feet wide has
formed otherv>runners should be cut
off. This is not at all a particular job.
If a cultivator is used always cultivate
the same way and the tool will
straighten ,out the runners and, of
course, keep the middle of the row
clean. It hardly seems possible that
single plants set three feet apart will
make a row of matted plants two feet
wide in a single growing season, but'
with a favorable seasonihis always
happens.

It is a good plan to mulch the bed
with coarse manure in the\ fall, the
straw offering a protection in case of
extreme weather and little snow. Com-
mercial growers, however, do not usu-
ally do this, it being difficult to get
the manure and the straw being a nui-
sance if the patch is to be cultivated
the following season. After the crop
is harvested the ground should be
thoroughly cultivated between i the
rdws and the rows cut down to six
inches in width which is done by sim-
ply cultivating out about nine inches
of the plants on each side of the row.
This simply gives new plants a chance
to set out and the method of care the
second year Will be the same as the
first.

, It is a good plant to attempt to crop
a patch two years only, although I
have known patches to produce well
for five or six years. ’

For the garden patch it is a good
plan to set say one hundred plants
every spring and leave the vines two
years. This would give say four rows
one hundred feet long. These four
rows one hundred feet’ long and taking
up a rod in width will supply any fam~
ily with berries and give plenty to can,

in other words, from this small patch

will be picked from 125 to 200 quarts.
This may sound big but the estimate
is conservative, being based on years
of experience. I have known four hun-
dred Quarts to be picked from a patch
(Continued on page 496).

Satisfactory Heating of

Your Home is Sure!,

HOOSING the~ right furnace is more than a matter
of deciding what kind you want and telling the
dealer how many rooms you have. ‘

That is a costly mistake many home-owners have made, «
an investigation shows. Improper heating in many cases
is the reSult of failure to determine which furnace is best
adapted to the number, size- and arrangement of rooms
and to» other special conditions which' affect heating.

Gilt Edge Heating Engineers will work these problems out
to your complete satisfaction. That is part of the special
service given to home-owners through the well-equipped
Service Department of the Gilt Edge factory organization.

THINKS lT BETTER TO KEEP UP
GRAIN.

 

AIRYMEN differ in opinion as to

the practicability of continuing
the grain ration after the cows are
turned out to pasture. It has been our
experience that it pays to keep the
grain up, and especially with heavy-
milking cows. There are cows/in every
herd that are beginning to decline in
milk flow as they‘are turned out to
pasture. These cows I do not consider
profitable to grain, but as a'rule‘cows
do much better and hold up longer on
their milk flow if given a liberal grain
ration even on good pasture. Early
spring pasture is highly succulent and
for’a short time Willproduce an in-
creased milk flow, but as the season
wanes the supply gradually becomes
insufficient to insure maximum milk
production. Heavy milch cows, to pro-
duce a profitable flow of milk during
the pasture months, should receive
some concentrated feed to balance up
the pasture—L. R.

LATE SOWN CLOVER.

 

April invariably succeeds best, be-
cause moisture" conditions are usually
more favorable to a quick germination
of the seed and an early and vigorous
growth of roots. ' '

However, circumstances are such at
times that seeding is delayed until late
in April or to the middle of May. Par-
tial drowning out of old, stands, late
freezes that injure old stands, or the
necessity of thickening meadows or
pastures may necessitate late seeding.

\Late seeding may ‘be 'a success or
failure, depending to a'great extent on
the method used in sowing. The sim-
ple scattering of the, seed on top of

cess earlyln' the spring willsurely-be

disappointing. The seed may germi-
nate, but a bet and will blight the half
exposed ”seedling. If the weather
should happen to be dry the seed may
lay unspirouted until a rain falls. The

competition and shade"of grasses, our]

er clovers and weeds will tend to hold
the new seeding backfbecause they
will all have attained considerable
growth. by the time the late seeding
is up. ‘ , ,
The surest and safest plan in late
seeding is to cover all the seed as soon
as sown. This will insure its reaching 3

DAIRYMEN SHOULD GROW MORE
. F EED.,
O
I AM becoming more firmly convinc-
ed every day that dairymen should
grow more graingupon their farms and
cut down feed bills.‘ There. is little
profit in dairying nowadays if a’ll the
grain, or even‘a large portion, has to
be purchased. During the pasture
months I feed equal parts of ground
oats, corn meal, wheat bran, with an
allowance of One and a half pounds of
cottonseed meal daily per animal. I
do not have any fast and set .rule as
to amount of grain I feed daily, but I
find that under average conditions a
pound of grain to three pounds of milk
is about right. ’I do not attempt heavy
grain feeding, but maintain my herd~
under average farm conditions—L. R.

 

 

 

MIXING GRAINS INCREASES THE
YIELDS.
M IXED hay usually gives a larger
tonnage than hay from a single
kind of plant. The question‘ has been
raised in regards. to the production of
grains for feeding. In Minnesota/ex-
periments extending over five years
have been conducted to learn the 'ad-
vantages, if any, inmixing grains. The
results have shown conclusively that
an increased yield results from this
practice.

Early oats and six-row barley sown
at the rate of thirty-two pounds of the
former and forty-eight pounds of the
latter per’acre averaged 2,324 pounds.
as cdmpared with 2,241 pounds for bar-
ley and 1,983 for oats sown alone.

Marquis .wheat and Vietory oats
sown together at the rate of forty-five
pounds of wheat and thirty-two pounds
of cats per acre yielded at the rate of
2,056 pounds. SoWn at the rate of
eixty pounds of wheat and thirty-two
pounds of oats the yield per acre of
the mixture was‘ 2,196 pounds. Wheat
alone 'yielded 2,021 pounds andgoats
alone 2,011 pounds. ‘ ,_

The crop fro_m the wheat and oats

LOVER sown in ‘March or early mixture SOWIl at forty-five and thirty-

two pounds per acre-respectively con1
sisted of thirty per cent wheat and
seventy per cent oats. , When the larg-
er amount of wheat was included in
the mixture, the percentages of the
crop were forty-five per cent wheat and
fifty-fiveper cent oats.

“When grains are grown for feed on
the farm, mixtures of about the'pro—
portions-mentioned may well be con-
sidered ‘in preference .to growing eith-
e'r grain alone,“ sayséPi-ofe’ssor Amy.

roller is started, and we are convinced
that, when harvest time comes the
cost is well repaid. "

There are many reasons for this
practice. In the first place, the alter-
nate freezing and thawings of the late
winter days and nights have left many
of the little plants with their crowns
heaved above the surface, their roots
more or less exposed, and many of the
little side rootlets broken off. We have

 

\

’ often of late heard people wishing for

a warm rain to settle the ground and
give the tenderplants a root held. In
the absence of the rain the roller will
do the same thing. It will overcome
the heaving to a certain extent. It
will firm the ground around the roots
and practically replant many a weak-
ened clover that might otherwise suc-
cumb. If the roller can precede the
beating rains and go over the fields
while they are still more or less
spongy from the winter’s freezing,
they will be left very smooth for the
mowing and other haying operations.

ass the drive by getting into the
knives and stopping or breaking or
dulling the sections, will be “planted”

Dragging the Wheat.
Another practice that we find ‘satis-

clay plains, is the dragging in of the
clover seed on the wheat- fields. We!
have not always practiced it, but the
fields that we have dragged well after .
sowing the grass seed are not the
fields on which we have lost a seeding.
When we have been able to top-dress
the higher and more clayey portion‘of
the wheat fields with a light dressing
of manure from the barnyards, we
have preferred to sow the seed very
early when the ground was honey-
combed by the frost, and we have se-
cured some most excellent stands in
this way. Our plan, however, has not
called for the use of much manure on
the young wheat, so we have generally‘
considered it a safer practice to delay
the seeding until the ground was dry

seeder with the spike drag. Clover
seed as well as any other seed, is ap-
preciative of a good seed-bed, and the
drag often helps. The slight damage
to.‘the wheat plants will be more than
overcome by the cultivating it receives.
Some people claim it is very beneficial
to the wheat, but I do not know. The

one thing I do not like about it is the ‘

tendency for the drag to dig up numer-
ous small stones and leave them high
and dry for the grain binder to bump
over. ' '

growing bushes rising higher than a
man’t waist, 'and, where they grew
rankest, higher than a man’s head. In
summer, when trees and bushes were
covered, with leaves, this underbrush
offered cover where a man could con-
ceal himself perfectly; now, inathe
early spring before the trees had even
budded, that man would be visible for
some distance by day and nearly as
clearly visible by night if the head-
lights Ofi the motor-cars chanced to
shine into the woods. —

Eaton, fully realizing. this chance as
he left Harriet, had plunged through

the bushes to conceal himself in the ra-

vine. The glare from the burning
bridge lighted the ravine for only a lit-
tle way; Eaton had gained the bottom

his statement aside’ with the mere an-
swer that h was lying; the most char-
itably‘incll ed would think only that
what he had been through had driven
him insane.

Besides, Eaton was not at all sure
that even if he had attempted to tell
what he had seen he would be allowed
to tell it, or, if he attempted to sur-
render to the men now pursuing him,
he would be allowed to surrender.
Donald Avery was clearly in command
of those men and was directing the
pursuit; in Avery, Eaton had recogniz:
ed an instinctive enemy from the first;
and now, since the polo game, he sens-
ed vaguely in Avery something more
than that. What Avery’s exact posi-
tion was in'regard to himself Eaton

 

 

of the ravine beyond the point where
this light would have made him visible
and had made the best speed he could

'along it away from the lights and the

voices on the road. This speed was
not very great; his stockinged feet
sank to their ankles in the soft mud of
the ravine; and when, realizing that
he was leaving a traCe easily followed
even by lantern-light, he clambered to
the steep side’and tried to travel along
its slope, he found his progress slower
still. In the darknes's he crashed
sometimes full against the tree-trunks;
bushes which he could not see seized
and held him, ripping and tearing at
his clothes; invisible, fallen saplings
tripped him, and he stepped into un-
seen holes which threw him headlong,
so that twice he rolled clear to the bot-
tom of the ravine with fierce, hot pains
which nearly deprived him of his
senses shoting through his wounded
shoulder.

When he had made, as he thought,
fully three-quarters of a mile in this
way and must be, allowing for his
winding of the ravine, at leas-thalf a
mile from his pursuers, he climbed to
the brink of the bank and looked back.
He was not, as he had thought, half a

.mile from the road; he was not a quar-

ter of a mile; he could still see plainly
the lights of the three motor-cars upon
the road and men hoving in the flare
of these lights. He was certain that
he had recognized the figure of Avery
among these men. Pursuit of him,
however, appeared to have been check-

.ed for the moment; he heard neither

voices nor any movement in thewoods.
Eaton, panting, threw himself down to
recover breath and strength to think.
, There was no question in Eaton’s
mind what his fate would be if he s'ur-
rendered to, or was captured by, his
pursuers. What he had ’seen in San-
toine’s study an hour before was so
unbelievable, so completely undemdn-
strable unless [he himself could prove
his story that he felt that he would
receive no credence. Blatchford, who
had seen it in the light in the study,
was dead; Santoine, who would have
seen it if he had had eyes, was blind.
Eaton, still almost stunned and yet
wildly excited by that sight, felt only,
in the mad confusion of his senses, the
futility ~'of telling what he had seen

‘unless he were in a position to prove
it. Those opposed to him would put

was not at all sure;
active hostility~he had received full

evidence; and he knew now—though
how he knew it was not plain' even to
himself—that Avery would not allow
him to surrender’ but that, if he tried
to give himself up, the men under Av-
e1y’s orders would shoot him down.

As Eaton watched, the motor, which ,

from its position on the road he knew
must be Harriet’s, backed out from the
others and went away. The other mot-
ors immediately afterward were turn-
ed and followed it. But Eaton could
see that they left behind them a man
standing armed near to the bridge, and
that other men, also armed, passed
through the light as they scrambled
across the ravine and gained the road
on'its opposite side. The motors, too,
stopped at intervals and then went
on; he understood that they were post-
ing men to watch the road. He traced
the motor headlights a long way
through the dark; one stopped, the
other went on. He remembered vague-
1y a house near the place where the

,car he watched had Stopped, and un-

derstanding that where there was a
house there was a telephone, he knew
that the alarm must be given still more
widely now; men on all sides of him
must be turned out to watch the roads.
He knew they did turn out like that
when the occasion demanded.

These waste places bordering upon
the lake to north and south of Chicago,
and within easy car-ride of the. great
city, had been the scene of many such
man-hunts. Hobos, gypsies, » broken
men, thrown off by the seething city,
wandered through them and camped
there; startling crimes took place
sometimes in these tiny wl’ldernesses;
fugitives from the city police took
refuge there and were hunted down by
thelocal police, by armed details of
the city police, by soldiers from Fort
Sheridan.~These fugitives might much
better have Stayed in the concealment
of the human jungle of the city ;. these
rolling, wooded, sandy vacant lands
which seemed to offer refuge, in reality
betrayed only into certain capture. The
local police hadlearned the method of
hunting, they, had learned to watch
the roads and railways to prevent

2 escape

Eaton understood, therefore, that his
own possibility of escape Was very

small, even if escaperhad beenhis only .

object; but Eaton’s problem ‘Was not
one of escape—sit was to find those he
pursued and 'make certain: that they
were' captured at the same time he
was; and, as he crouched panting-on
the damp earth, he was thinking only
of that.

The man at the bridge—Dibley—had
told enough to let Eaton know that
those whom Eaton pursued were no
longer in the machine he had followed
with Harriet.
but of Santoine’s study after the two
that he had fought there, he had seen

”that one of these men was supporting

and helping the other; he had gained
on them because of that. Then other
men had appeared suddenly, to give
their help,,and he had no longer been
able to gain; but he had been close
enough to see that the one they drag~
ged along and helped into the car was
that enemy whose presence in the

.study had so amazed him. Mad exul-

tation had seized Eaton to know that
had seriously Wounded his adversary.
He knew now that the man could not
have got out of the car by himself——
he was too badly wounded for that; he
had been taken out of the car, and the
other men who were missing had him
in charge. The three men who had
gone on in the machine had done ‘so
for their own escape, but with the
added object of misleading the pur-
suit; the water they had got at Dib-

ley’s had been to wash the blood from
_ the car.

And now, as Eaton recalled and real-
ized all this, he knew where the. others
had left the machine. Vaguely, during
the pursuit, he had sensed that Harriet
was swinging their motor-car in a

great, circle, first to the north, then’

west, then to the south. Two or three
miles back upon‘the road, before they
had made their turn to the south, Ea-
mn had lost for a few moments the
track of the car they had been follow—
ing. He had picked it up again at once
and before he could speak of it to Hal:
riet; but now he knew that at that
point the car they were following had
left the road, turning off onto the turf
at the side and coming‘back onto the
road a hundred yards beyond.

"\

This place must be nearly due north '

of him. The road where he had left
Harriet ran north and south; to go
north he must parallel this road, but it
was dangerous to move too near to it
because it was guarded: The sky was
covered with clouds hiding the stars;
the night in the woods was intensely

.black except where it was lighted by

the fire at the bridge. To the opposite
side, a faint gray glow against the
clouds, which could not be the dawn
butgmust be the reflection of the. elec-
tric lights along the public pike which
followed the shore of the lake, gave
Eaton inspiration. If he .kept this
grayness of the clouds always upon his
right, he would be going north."

The wound in Eaton’s shoulder still
welled blopd each time he moved; he
tore strips from the front of his shirt,
knotted them together and bound his
useless left arm tightly to his side. He
felt in the darkness to be sure that
there was a fresh clip of cartridges in
his automatic pistol;

and wasted minutes before he could

0’ find againthe dim light-against the

eastern sky whichgave him the com--
pass-points. - _ '

’As he struggled forward, impatient
at these delays, he came several times
upon narrow, unguarded roads and
crossed them; at other times the little
wilderness which protected him chang-
ed suddenly to a well-kept lawn where
some great house with its garages and
out-buildings loomed ahead, and afraid
to cross these open places, he was

. obliged to retrace his steps and find a

i strained

way round. The distance from the
bridge to the place where the three
men he ‘was following had got out of
their motor, he had thought to be
about two miles; but when he had
been traveling more turn an hour, he
had not yet reached it. Then, sudden-
ly he came upon the road for which he

was looking; somewhere to/the east'

along it was the place he sought. He
crouched-as near to the road as he
dared and where he could look up and
down it. This being a main road, was
guarded. A motor-car with armed men

' in it passed him, and presently repass-

ed, evidently patroling the road; its
lightsshowed him a man with a gun
standing at the first bend of the road
to the east. Eaton drew further back

and moved parallel to the road but far

enough away from it to be hidden. A
quarter of a mile further he found a
second man. The motor-car, evidently,
was patroling only to this point; an‘
other car was on duty beyond this.
As Eaton halted,'this second car ap-
proached, and was halted, hacked and
turned.

Its headlights, as, it turned, swept
through the woods and revealed Eaton.
.The man standing in the road cried
out an alarm and fired at Eaton point
blank; he fired a second and third
time. Eaton fled madly back into the
shadow; as he did so, he heard the
men crying to one another and leaping
from the car and following-him. He
found low ground less thickly wooded,
and plunged along it.
cult to avoid the men in the blackness
of the woods; he made a wide circuit
and came baclf’a'gain to the road
further on. He could still hear for a
time the sounds of the hunt on the
turf. Apparently he had not yet reach-
ed the right spot; he retreated to the
woods, went further along and came
back to the road, lying flat upon his
face again and waiting till some other
car in passing should give him light
to see.

Eaton, weak and dizzy from his
wounds and confused by darkness and
his struggle through the woods, had
no exact idea how long it could——
no exact idea how long it had taken
him to get to this place; but he knew
that it could have been hardly less

than two hours since he had left Har- ‘

riet. The men he was following, there-
fore, had that much start of him, and
this “made him wild with impatience
but did not discourage him. His own
wounds, Eaton understood, made his
escape practically impossible, because
any one who saw him would at once
challenge and detain him; and the
other man was still more seriously
wounded. It was not his escape that
Eaton feared; it was concealment of
him. The man. had been taken .from
the car because his condition was so
serious that there was no hope of bid
ing it; Eaton thought he must be dead.
He expected to findrthe body concealed

under dead leaves, hurriedly hidden.

significance there;" but Eaton saw
plainly in the soft groundat the edge
of the woods the footmarks of two

,men walking one behind the other.

When the car had passed, he crept
forward in the dark and fingered the
distinct heel and toe marks in the soft
soil. For a little distance he could fol-
low them by feeling; then as they led
him into the edge of the woods the
ground grew harder and he could no
longer follow them in that way.

It was plain to him what had occur-
red; two men had got out of the car
here and lifted out and carried away

a third. He knelt where he could feel‘

the last footsteps he could detect and
looked around. The gray of the elec-'
trlc lights to the east seemed growing,
spreading; against this lightness in
the sky he could 'see plainly the
branches of the trees; he recognized
then that the grayness was the com‘
ing of the dawn. It would be only a
few minutes before he could see plain-
ly enough to follow the'tracks. He
drew aside into the deeper cover of
some bushes to wait.

The wound in his shoulder no longer
bled, but the pain of it twinged him
through and through; his head throb-
bed with the hurt there; his feet were
raw and bleeding where sharp roots
and branches had cut through his
socks and torn the flesh; his skin was
hot and dry with fever, and his head

swam. He followed impatiently the
slow whitening of the east; as soon
as he could make out the ground in
front of him, he crept forward again
to the tracks.

There washnot yet light' enough to
see any distance, but Eaton, accustom-
.ed to the darkness and bending close
to the ground, could discern the foot-
marks even on the harder soi-l. They
led away from the road into the woods“.
On the rotted leaves and twigs was a
dark stain; a few steps beyond there
was another. The stains had sunk
into the damp ground but were plainer
'on the leaves; Eaton picking up a leaf
and fingering it, knew that they were
blood. So the man'was not dead when
he had been lifted from the car. But
he had been hurt desperately, was un-
able to help himself, was probably
dying; if there had been any hope for
him, his companions would not be car-
rying’him in this way from any chance
of surgical attention.

“Eaton followed, as the tracks led

very slowly, carrying this heavy

himself had traveled, in the dark,

Construction Records

Since 1920, faced with the greatest demand for service in .
telephone history, the Bell System has surpassed all previous
records for the installation of new telephone equipment. In
,the last two years more than 1,000,000 additional stations
have beenfladded to the. system "by construction. This is equal
to the entire number of telephones in Great Britain.

In 1921 alone, 450,000 new poles were placed—enough .
to make a telephone line from New York to Hong Kong.
The aerial‘wire put into service in the same year, 835,000 »
miles in all, is enough to string 60 wires on such a telephone line.

1,875,000 miles of wire, enclosed in 1,500 miles of cable.
were added to underground and submarine lines in 1921.
New underground duct totaling 11,000,000 feet was con-

' structed, this representing approximately 300 miles of subway.
69 new central office buildings and important additions were
completed or in progress, and new switchboards with a
capacity ofmany thousands of connections were installed.

This equipment added to the Bell System, great though it is
in volume and value, represents but a small part of the vast
property which enables the telephone on your desk to give
the service to which you are accustomed. And to meet the
jncreasing demands for new service, the work of construction

er from the University of Illi-

nois,‘Thomas A. Clarke, Dean of
men. _For twenty ’odd years" Dean
Cla‘rge has made it his business to be
the counsellor, friend, confidant of the
undergraduates .of this great univer-
sity which new numbers something’
like ten thousand students. It was a
deep impression that the dean made.
We laughed, till we shook and there
were a few tears interspersed. He'
knows the mind and habits of the
American college male. Men come to
him with every imaginable inquiry,
from what kind of a shirt to wear to
a fancy ball, to
the best kind bf
a. girl to marry,
or to confess to
him that they
have been on a.
drunk. He knows
them all, first-
hand. Last year
he wrote a book
entitled, “The
High School. Boy
and His Prob—
_ lems.” Have you
a. boy in highschool? It will be worth
your while getting and reading this
book. Let the boy read it, too.

This year another book has come
from his hand, “Discipline and' the
Derelict,” (Macmillan). It ought to be
in the hands of every student in every
It also would have a. salutary
effect on father and mother, should
they read it, for they would learn some
of thextemptartions that befall youth
while in college. In the chapter on
“Youngest Sons and Only Children,”
there occur these words: “I was talk-
ing to the father of a. freshman who
had failed in his college course c0m~
pletely. The boy was intellectually
bright, but he had not studied, he had
not gone to class, and he had fallen
into“ bad ways and wasted his time
generally. ‘What is the matter with
the boy?’ the father asked. ‘Why has
he failed?’ I did not answer for a
moment, and then I met his inquiry
by asking another question. 'ch
many children have you?’ .‘He is our
only child,’ was the reply, ‘and we
have done everything for him.’ ‘You
have answered your own question,’ I
said. ‘He’s your only’, child, and you’ve
done everything for him.’ There was
nothing the matter with the boy; it

 

was the father.”

a

ORDINARILY people do not appre—

ciate what temptations to graft
there are in college and university life.
But students in any ~large institution
handle‘thousands of dollars Annually.
Sometimes this is money paid for pro-
visions for some boarding, club, or it
may be the funds for buying the com-
mencement invitations for a. class of
five hundred to a thousand. The au-
thor says, “A local merchant told ine
recently that the class officer who was
in charge of the business of letting’the
contract for a class hat or cap came
to him to ask for a. bid on the propo-
sition. 'When the boy had received the
merchant’s bid he said, ‘You have of-
fered to furnish these caps for one dol-

. lar and» twenty cents each. I will give

you the contract if you will make it
one dollar and thirty cents and turn
the extra ten cents over to me for my
trouble.’ ‘I shall be Very glad to "do

' that,’ said the merchant, “if your class

will so vote, or if you will have it an-
nounced to the class beforehand; but
otherwise I cannot.’ » The young fel-
low went away to consider the propo-
sition, but never came back, and an-
other firm received the Order.”

FEW weeks ago I. heard a‘speek- it is getting._soms one to help you in'

your examinations, or carrying- cards
or- notes to class and‘looking at them

when the professor’s back. is turned. "

There is a good deal of this in Ameri-
can colleges and in some it is especial-
ly bad. Dean Clark says this has given
him more anxious thought than all the
other derelicitions of students put to-
gether. ’ He feels that if ,a. student
cheats now, he will be more like 'to
adopt doubtful principles‘later. “The
cribber is not quite so safe a man to
trust, his principles of integrity are
not so solidly grounded, his standards
of honesty are somewhat more flex-
ible; he does. not ring’quite true. The
cribber, if he is successful, is likely to
be a grafterfl ;‘All this is a Sad prep-
aration for good citizenship. If a. young
man can be depended upon to do the
honest thing only when it is easy, only
when all other men are known to be
honest, only when it is to his personal
and-financial advantage to do so, he
is little fitted for responsibility and
service.”

.IB

T10 many people the emphasis put

on athletics in college and univer-
sity life is out of all proportion to its
value. But the experienced author of
this book does not think so. He says
that the valueyis not alone the hard
physical training which a man under?
goes, but the effect of this on his will-
power. He learns to endure discipline,
to play hard, to play with the team,
and to accept the decision of the um-
pire without getting mad. He must
refrain from eating certain things dur-
ing the training season, he must get
out and practice whether he wants (to
or not. He learns to endure hardship.
And, if the athletics are played right,
he must play absolutely fair. He finds
that it is better to play a, square game
and lose, than to play a crooked game
and Win. He also is drilled in self-re-
liance. When it is his turn to bat and
there are two men on bases, he will
bat his best to knock a fielder, so that
those men can come in. When it is his
bat‘or when it falls‘to him to tackle,
he cannot farm it» out...” some one else.
He must act and act instantly and act
with all his might. Thus athletics have
a direct moral value when they are
played in the right way.

All this has a bearing on your boy
and. mine. We may not have gone to
college, but our boys ,will go, in all
likelihood". The leadership of the na-
tion lies to a. very great extent in the
hands of college men. The leadership
in the great question of a better rural
life will largely rest in the hands of
college men. Seme say that it already
depends on the college graduate to a.
very large degree. Whatever creates
a hgiher type of college man and wom-
an will have an almost immediate ef-

fect on the nation at large.

IS the college student religious. We
will let Dean _Clark answer again.

A while ago the’university student pa.-

per printed a pessimistic article on the

\

-—~

State‘of religion among the university ‘

students, with the result that Dean
Clark made a canvassof all churches
near. the campus, “and I found,” he
says, “that On the particular Sunday-
concerned more than thirty-five hun~
dred' undergraduates were in church‘
attendance, which means that proba-
bly fifty per cent Of all the students
in town were that day attending at
least one church service. It seemed

to me that the showing was not a. bad ‘

one, especially as this isa state uni-
versity where there is no effort to com—
pel church attendance! ‘1 .

them and made theii feet sink in deep-
~ly where the ground was soft. But
now they were not careful how they
.carried him, but went forward me1ely
as though bearing a dead weight. Now,
too, no more stains appeared on the
brown leaves where they had passed;
thei1 burden no longe1 bled. Eaton,
l realizing what this meant, felt neither
exultation nor surprise. He had known
'that the man they carried, though evi-
dently alive when taken from the car,
was dying. But now he watched the
tracks more closely even than before,
looking for them to show him wheie
/ the men had got rid of thei1 burden.

“1%“; ‘

It had grown easier to follow the
tracks with the increase of the light,
but the danger that he would be seen
had also grown greater. He was oblig-
ed to keep to the hollows; twice, when
he ventured onto the higher ground
he saw motor-cars passing at a dis-
tance, but near enough so] that those
in them could have seen him if they
had been looking his way. Once he
saw at the edge of the woods :1 little
it g1oup of armed men. His dizziness
“ ' and weakness from the loss of blood
was increasing; he became confused
at times and lost the tracks. He went
forward slowly then, examining each
clump of bushes, each heap of dead
leaves,gto see whether the men had
hidden in them that of which we was
in search; but always when he found
the tracks again their character show-
ed him that the men were still carry-
ing their burden. The tracks seemed
f1esher now; in spite of his weakness
he was advancing much faster than
the others had been. able to do in the
darkness and heavilyladen. As near
as he could tell, the men had passed
just before dawn. Suddenly he came
upon the pike which ran parallel to
the line of the lake, some hundred
yards back _ fronii the shore.

He shrank back, throwing himself
upon his face in the bushes; the men
evidently had crossed this pike. Full
day had come. and as Eaton peered
out and up and down the road, he saw
no one; this road appeared unguarded.
Eaton, assured no one was in sight,
leaped up and crossed the road. As
he reached its further side, a boy car-
rying a fishpole' appear-ed suddenly
from behind some bushes. He stared
at Eaton; then, terrified by Eaton’s ap:
pearance, he dropped the fishpole and
fled screaming up the road.~ Eaton
stared dazedly after him for a frac-
tion of an instant, then plunged into
the cover! He found the tracks again,
and followed them dizzily.

But the boy had given the alarm.

other; then he heard them beating

some distance; evidently the boy in his
fright and confusion had not directed
«, the men to the exact spot where Eaton
had entered the woods Or they in their
excitement had failed to understand
him. But the sounds were-drawing
nearer. Eaton, exhausted and dizzy,
followed feverishly the footmarks on
theground. It could not befar now—-
the men could not have carried their

must have hidden it, somewhere near
here. He would find it near by—-—must

could have thrown a twig and hit him.
Eatoh could not understand why the
man did not see him, but he did not;
the man stopped an instant studying
the footmarks imprinted in the earth;
evidently they had no significance for
him, for he went on.

When the searchers had passed out
of sight, Eaton sprang up and followed
the tracks again. They were distinct
here, plainly printed, and he followed
easily. He could hear men all about
him, out of sight but calling to cine
another in the woods. All at once he
recalled, throwing himself down again
upon ’the ground. The clump of bush-
es hiding him ended abruptly only a.
"few yards away; through their bare
twigs, but far below him, the sunlight
twinkled, mockingly, at him from the
surface of water. It was the lake!

Eaton crept forward to the edge of
the steep bluff, following the tracks.
He peered over the edge. The tracks
did not stop at the edge of the bluff;
they went on down it. The steep sandy
precipice was scarred where the/ men,
still bearing their burden, had slipped
and scrambled down it. The marks
crossed the shingle sixty feet below;
they were deeply printed in the wet
sand down to the water's very edge.
There they stopped.

Eaton had not expected this. He
stared, worn out and with his senses
in confusion, and overcome by his phy-
sical weakness.
seemed to mock and laugh at him——
blue,‘ rippling under the breeze and
bearing no trail. ‘It was quite plain
what had occurred; the wet sand be-
low was trampled by the feet of/three
or four men and cut by a boat’s bow.
They had taken the body away with
them in the boat. To sink it some-
where weighted with heavy stones in
the deep water? Or had it been car-
ried away on that small, swift vessel
Eaton had seen from Santoine’s lawn?
In either case, Eaton’s
hopeless now.

But it cduld not be so; it must not
be so. Eaton's eyes searched fever-
ishly the shore and the lake. But there
was nothing in sight upon either. He
crept back from the edge of the bluff,
hiding beside a fallen log banked with
dead leaves. What was it he had said
to Harriet? “I will come back to you
—-as you have never known me be.
fore!” He rehearsed the words in
mockery. How would he return to her
now? As he moved, a fierce, hot pain
from the clotted wound in his shoulder
shot him through and through with
agony and the silence and darkness
of unconsciousness overwhelmed him.

DON’T PUNISH BY {-SENDING T0
BED.

 

OME parents have the habit of pun-

ishing their children for wrong do-
ing by requiring them to go to bed dur-
ing the daytime. There is danger in
such punishment. Children who lie in
bed unoccupied are likely to develop
bad habits. A child should not lie in
bed at any time while he is awake
.unless he’ is kept busy in some whole-
some way. When he is sent to bed for
punishment the chances are that he
will not be occupied and the conse-
quences are apt to be harmful.

Some parents encourage their chil-
dren to remain in bed and rest after
they awaken in the morning. It would
be better for them to arise at once.
If they really need more rest than
they can get from a night’s sleep, they
should form the habit of taking a nap
at a regular time when they are tired
and sleepy. ‘

Parents who discover that their
children have already acquired bed
habits from lying in bed unoccupied,
should explain in a frank but kind way
the dangers arising therefrom; such
parents should follow this explanation
with redoubled efforts to keep the at—
tention of their little ones filled con-
stantly with wholesome thoughts and
occupations.

Evil habits, are probably acquired
more. largely through the practice of
lying in bed awake or being sent to

bed for punishment than from any~

other one cause—N. K. A.

.Mrs. L T.

Always have a glass medicine drop-

rosewater. Pull down the lower lid,
float the liquid on the surface of the
injured eye. After the rosewater has
been in the eye a few seconds, use the

the liquid, and the foreign substance
will come with it.—Mrs. J. J. O’C.

The Breakfast Room

By Irene Gleam”

THE breakfast rohm is fast coming
into popularity. The atmosphere
of such a room is very informal, and
when located in some sunny corner of

'the house it makes a splendid place

for the morning meal and family f‘tete-
a-tetes.”

No doubt many of our housewives
have discarded tables, chairs and baby
buggies, that, with the help of a little
sandpaper and a few coats of paint,
set off by a dainty Decalcomania trans-

~ fer would make a breakfast suite pleas-'

ing from both the artistic and eco-
nomical standpoint. These transfers
are similar to the ones you used to put
on your hands and in your school
books, but of much better material,
and can be washed and varnished
without affecting the color or finish. '

Any small table set upon the wheels
of an old dilapidated baby buggy would
make an excellent serving cart, and
mostly any medium-sized table may be

Explanations—Ch. means chain
stitch (pull loop through the one on
book); so, single chochet (with one
loop on hook, pull loop through both
the designated stitch of preceding row
and the loop on hook); dc, double cro
chet (pull loop through stitch, then
thread over hook and pull through both
loops on hook); tr, tieble crochet
(thread over hook, put hook through
stitch below and pull loop through the
stitch, thread over hook and through
two loops on hook, thread over hook
and through the remaining two loops);
dtr, long or double treble crochet
(thread twice over hook, put hook
through designated stitch and pull,
loop through, which gives fo'ur loops
on hook, thread over hook and through
two loops, thread over the hook-and
through remaining two loops).

This edging and insertion are work-
ed with No. 60 crochet cotton and a
No. 6 steel crochet hook.

used for the breakfast table, although
the drop leaf ones seem to be' preferfi
able. Real old-fashioned chairs that
belonged to grandmother when mother
was small can be made attractive if
sandpapered well before painting. The
increasingly popular rag rug will be
just the thing for the floor.

Now what could be prettier than a

Rural Health and Sanitation

Conducted by D; . C H. Lerrzgo

 

 

HE thing that makes life worth

while is the ability ”to do work
. that improves the world and
makes happier the people who live in
it. I will not go so far as to say that
this is impossible with poor health, but
I am very confident in the assertion
that it is a very‘much easier task
whefi health abounds and the. wine of
life courses through one’s veins unim-
peded by the drag of disease.

Health is seldom .appreciated by the
person Who has it. It is. accepted as
a matter of course. But let him real-
ize that it is slipping away from him,
and how quickly, does his indifference
change to the deepest concern! He
would sacrifice ,all of his fortune and
would even abandon his precious busi-
ness if only he might regain that pos-
session of which he was once so
profligate.

Fortunately for '11s, the body has
wonderful powers‘of repair, and grand
recoveries are often possible, even to
(those whd' have gone far on the way to
physical wreckage. But the mainte-

' nance of health, and the restoration of

health are seldom matters that depend
greatly on medicines, nor can they be
attained by some magic treatment that
makes itself felt overnight. Health
depends upon the observance of na-
ture’s laws, and a restoration to health
depends usually upon a slow and per-
sistent winning back to natural func-
tions. Even when natural functions
can no longer be restored there are
often methods of compensation or pal-
liation that. will add much to the ease

, and facility of living, but they always

require time and attention.

The great way to do is to keep,
health while it remains in our posses-
sion; it is not hard to do for those who
do not. lust after wealth and power
but are willing to live the sane lives
of good citizens and rejoice in their
strength and health. But it demands
a little thought, a little care and a

little knowledge, for of all the ways ,.

that lead to the destruction of health
the way of ignorance is the most com-
mon, the most deplorable, and, in this
enlightened day, the most inexcusable.

Let us take a little time to think and
read about health. Let us learn how-
to keep it. If it needs repair let us
.be very rational in ourmethods and
let us not begrudge some time and
trouble for such a wonderful posses-
sion. We may not live to be centenar-
ians but so long as the years that we
do live are useful, what matter?

BROKEN LEG MENDS SLOWLY.

 

7 My father had his leg broken last
December; both bones just at the
shoe top. His foot was turned clear
around with the heel in front. There
has always been quite a lump there,
and his leg seems to tire and get sore
when he does mirth walking. How long
should it take it 0 get strong and will
there always be danger of rheuma-
tism? It seems to bother in damp
weather. —G. G. S.

Such a. break as you describe was
indeed a serious fracture and your
father is fortunate to get even a fairly
good result. Since the injury is less
than’ a year ago there is a. good prob-
ability that he will make much more
gain yet. The pain is not rheumatism
but comes because the circulation is

. not yet adjusted.

CAN FRECK'LES BE PREVENTED?

 

What can I do to prevent freckles?
I freckle badly enough at any time,
but in summe1 it is simply fierce.
What are freckles anyway. I think
my blood is always good and don’t see
Why I have them. -Amy.

Freckles are collections of pigment

usually appearing on exposed surfaces
of the skin. They may' be the size of
a.pinhead up to been size. The medi-
cal name is lentigo. Since they are
the result, of exposure to the light and
heat of the sun, you won’t have them
if you stay indoors, but the remedy is
rather radical. You can get some help
by applying cold cream to the face be-
fore going out, but there is no satisfac-
tory treatment for freckles. Certain
quack preparations cause the Epider-
mis to blister and peel OIL-but the new

skin is soon as badly pigmented as the ‘

Old. It doesn’t pay.

 

AT WHAT TIME IN LIFE SHOULD
THE FIRST BABY COME.

 

I have heard thata woman could
give birth to a child after the age of
thirty years. From your professional
point of view, Would it be advisable
for a woman of thirty-six years to mar-
ry, and if such should be hex fortune,
try to raise a family—safety first con-
sideration ?——Inquirer.

I suppose you mean that women

past thirty cannot being bearing chil-
dren in safety to herself. This idea
widely. Nowadays,
since the old maid age has been push-
ed back out of sight and women mar-
ry yhenever they please, we doctors
have a great many opportunities to
prove the idea f'allacious. It is true
that younger women‘may have a little
the advantage in the matter, but the
differedce is not great. I attended a
woman of forty-four with her first
baby. ' She got along splendidly. You
will readily see the moral Get a com-
petent physician.

FOR “GENTLE READER."

 

HERE may be some readers—and

editors—who think the so- -ealled
“Woman’s Page” is a recent develop-
ment of newspaper policy. Not so.
Our “greats” in the early days of
America had their “Ladies’ Depart-
ment,” they were “ladies” then, if you
please. Equal suffrage hadn’t been
heard of then.’ '

And they were supposed then, just
as now, to be mostly concerned with
the one thought, matrimony. Queer,
that in all the women’s departments
whose policy is dictated by men, it is
assumed that women are only inter-
ested in love and marriage. But that’s
another story.

Here’ s what the Connecticut Herald
of Tuesday morning, July 28, 1818,
handed out to its “lady” readers.

“The’longer a woman stays single,
the more apprehensive will she be of
entering into the state of wedlock. At
seventeen or eighteen a girl will
plunge into it without feafior. wit; at
twenty, she will begin to think; at
twenty-four, she will 'weigh and con-
sider; at twenty-eight, she will be
afraid; at thirty, she will tum about
and go don the hill she has ascend-
ed, and sometimes rejoice and some-
times repent, that she has! not gained
the summit.”

By which We see that the flapper of
1818 was just as irresponsible and fool-
hardy as lier descendant of>1922, while
ed years. brought wis-

Keeps Your

Slipping Away

AINT will do it. Do it by
keeping it from repairs.
Most folks think paint is “just
for looks,” but you know they
are wrong. Yqu know that the
biggest thing paint is for is to
keep buildings from the need
of being rebuilt.
It’s like a big rope around
them, keeping th‘em from slip—

What your barn cost to build is one cost. 0 '
What it keeps right on costing to keep it

' built, is quite another cost
The first cost can’t be prevented.

,, The second cost can be kept so low it's
practically no cost at all.

Our Boys and Girl" Department

 

FEW_ years ago, through the ef-

forts of Mrs. Fred Curtis,

well .known in grange circles, a
girls’ canning club was organized. One
of the girls in this club two years lat-
er became the leader of the West Car-
mel Good Luck Canning,Cl-ub.' The
club performedsome very creditable
work, even though some of the girls
had a rather difficult time persuading
their mothers to let them join. “It will

be too much bother and I am afraid
you will be breaking too many cans,”
was one mother’s answer.

One afternoon an opportunity pre-
sented itself, however, for as this
mother‘was leaving for an afternOon
visit at the neighbors, she told her
daughter she might be the mistress of
the house for the afternoon. And in-
deed she" was, for in a very few min-
utes the water was heating, the cans
and covers were being tested, as well
as the rubbers, and the berries clean-
ed. _The work was all carried out ac-
cording to instructions and in the same
manner as the leader had done ’in her
demonstration at the first meeting.
When mother 1eturned the kitchen
was all slicked up with everything in
place and supper was well under way.
In addition, six beautiful cans of ber-
ries were lined up across the kitchen
.The mother was so delighted

ter’s help in deing the summer can-
ning, and, of‘course, she could join
the club.

Soon the girls’ canning club was the
center of much discussion, and in a
few weeks they were asked to give a
demonstrationat the 'church. This of-
fered an opportunity to our experienc-
ed club member and leader, for she di-
vided her club into two sides, each
side to have a demonstration class. A-
prize was arranged for the winning
team. Miss Ro‘bb, assistant state club
leader, was asked to judge the demon?
stration and give the girls some help
for their wmk in future contests.
That fall the girls made an exhibit

there was not a great deal-of compe-
tition as t e number of_canning clubs
was small. The leader, Who was doing
her‘ third year’s Work asa club inem-
ber, received third state honors, and

The work\ was not dropped for very

long by the leader, however, for this

was to be her fourth year as club
member and second as club leader.
She was determined to make her last

canning clubs were organized in the
county. '

Now that we may no longer hold our

The next important event to be 1111-
dertaken, by the girls was the exhibit
at the county fair.-"This ~the girls did
in a very creditable manner, arranging
one of the most. beautiful and attrac-
tive exhibits at the fair. This year,
with some real competition, the girls
perhaps had more of an inspiration,
and It carried them through to county
honors in the club exhibit. ‘

The exhibits were scored by the
state leaders, and after the reports .and
stories were carefully graded the tIgne

By Donna Myers, Haslett, Michigan,
Age 12 Years.

One of our neighbor‘s had a. litter of
pigs that had one very small and un:
thrifty pig in it. Its head was the big-
gest part of the pig. The owner of it
saw that it wasgoing to die if he kept
it that way any longer, so he wanted
to Know if I wanted it. I brought it
home and fed it for several days out
of a, fruit can cover, it was so little.
We had just finished reading “Black
Beauty” sowe named her Ginger after

one of Black Beauty’s" mates, for she.

was so spunky and determined to do
just as she wanted to.

After a while Ginger had \ten little ,

pigs. She was ”large type PolandChin-
11a and Hampshire and was bred to
O. I. :C. so her litter grew so fast
that when they were ten weeks old we
sold th’ém for $100 \and when Ginger
was bred again we sold her for $65.

And the same summer I raised four
lambs by hand when their mother’s
would not own them. The first We
called Dick, then came Mary Legs,
then Tom and Jack, that were twins.
\Then when fall came we sold them
for $53. _ ,

By Helen C. Coffman, Goldwater,
Michigan, Age 14 Years.
I think that .the most profitable mon-
ey-making stunt is joining the Pig

Club. Last June I joined the Pig Club

and’chose a pig. She cost me $13,
which I thought'was a great deal to
pay for such a small pig. During the
summerl paid about $15 for her feed.

My” father raises registered Spotted
Poland-China pigs, and because of the
Pig Club I became interested in them.
One day I picked up a Spotted Poland-
China journal and looking through the
Pig Club department I noticed a place
where they would give a prize of $3.00

"for the best article written on Pig

/

Clubs, so I sat down and wrote the
story of our Pig Club. A few days
after that I looked through the journal
again and ound a place where S. R.
Youkey & Son would give $1.00 for the
answer to a puzzle. I answered the
puzzle and in about two-weeks I re-
ceived a dollar. The next ‘I received
$3.00 from the Spotted Poland-China
journal for the article I had written.
Then I sent the article to the Michigan
Farmer and received $2.62 for it. .

I sold my pig at my father’s hogsale
for $50.50. Altogether I made a profit
of $22.50 on my pig, besides the $6.62
I received for my article and answer
to the puzzle,'which I would not have
written had it not been for my belong-
ing to the Pig Club. I am sure I do

not know of another way _.I could have‘

made so much money.

around the hard coal broader stove.

. The floor is covered with sand and

fine gravel; aISO some crushed burned-
bene. They begin almost at-‘ once to
eat of both.
forty-eight hours old, they may have
sour milk, in partly covered dishes 60
they cannot drown in it. ‘

If sour milk is available, I dognot
give water until the chicks are three
weeks old. My experience is that
chicks around artificial heat will drink
so much water they become sick. If
water is given it should not be cold
and should be removed after a few
moments

Chicks should not be fed until past
forty~eight hours old. Then the first
feed is hard-boiled eggs with powdered
charcoal and pulverized burned bone
well mixed with it, one egg to about
one hundred chicks. I only feed two
or three times the—first day of feeding
as there is so much danger of over»
.feeding when so young.

The second day use egg, charcoal,
burned bone and rolled oats may be
added or a small amount of chick feed.
Feed four or five times. The third
day I still use egg, charcoal, burned
bone with other feed mixed in. We
have used cracked corn and rolled
cats or steel cut oats mainly for two
years though I really think a good com—
mercial chick feed rushes them along
better.

When com is the main feed I bake
corn bread until the chicks are three
.or four weeks old, giving only one feed
a day of raw corn. Never feed corn
bread hot‘ or soured. Never feed the
chicks any kind of musty feed. When
the little fellows are a week old they
may have a little wheat bran every
day for a week. ‘ Then larger feeds of
it until three weeks old. Now it is
well to give them a hopper with equal
parts of bran and middlings. And if
any toe pecking takes place, give meat
scraps in a feeder. If green sods are
available, dig and feed a little every
day. The chicks like them and work-
ing in the soil prevents leg weakness.

.and often a. large rawmotato. I like
to keep granulated charcoal in a feed-
er from the start. They eat much of' it
and it is a guard against disease. Their

sand. and gravel added to keep them
supplied with grit. I throw their feed
to them until they are six weeks old.

After that both mesh and grains are
put into a self-feeder from which they
may help themselves. A barrel of wa-
ter with a spigot placed under- a tree
makes an ideal waterer that does not
need to be filled often. With a shal-'
low trough under the spigot, a slight
turn keeps the water dripping just
enough to. keep a‘good supply- before
the chicks at all times. After the
chicks get old enough to take all their:
feed from the self— -feeders'they are but
little additional work

'"i'n‘g White Diarrhea ->

aThe following letter will no doubt
be of utmost interest to poultry raiSers
, ' who have had serious losses from
VVhite Diarrhea. We will.let Mrs.
‘ Bradshaw tell of her experience in her
‘ownwvords: ;,
. “Gentlemen: I see reports of so
many losing. their little chicks with
White Diarrhea, so thought I would
tell my experience. ‘I- used to lose a
great many from this cause, tried
many remedies and was about {lis-
. coura ed. As a last resort I sent to
the. alker ,Rernedy Co., Dept. 507,
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko White
.Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c
' packages, raised 300 White wyandottes
and never lost one or had one sick
after giving the medicine, and my
chickens are larger and healthier than
ever before, I have found .this com-
pany thoroughly reliable and always
get the remedy by return mails—Mrs.
C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.”

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the
Bacillus Bacterium- Pullorum. This
, germ is transmitted to the baby chick
' through the yolk of the newly hatched
egg. Readers are warned to beware
of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until
it kills half your chicks. Take the
“stitch in time that saves nine.” Re-
member, there is scarcely a hatch
without some infected chicks. Don’t
let these few infect your entire flock.
Prevent it. Give Walko in all drinking
water for the first, two weeks and you'
won’t lose one chick where you lost
hundreds before. These letters prove it:

Never Lost a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, ~ Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of
chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally
I sent for two packages of Walko. I
raised over 500 chicks and I never lost
a single chick from White Diarrhea.
Walko not only prevents White Diar-
rhea, but it gives the chicks strength
and vigor; they develop quicker and
feather earlier.”

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My first incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, he-
gan to die by the dozens with White
Diarrhea. I tried- different remedies
and was about discouraged with the
chicken business. Finally I sent to the
Walker Remedy Co., Waterloo, Iowa,
for a box of their Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing
for this terrible disease. We raised
700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never
lost a single chick after the first dose.”

You Run No Risk

We will send Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy entirely ’at - our risk
—postage prepaid—so you can see for
yourself what a wonder-working rem-
edy it is for White Diarrhea in baby
chicks. So you can' prove—as thou-
sands .have proven—that it will. stop
your losses and double, treble, even.
quadruple your profits. Send 50c for
package of .Walko— give it in all drink-
ing water for the first two weeks and
watch results. You’ll find you won’t
lose “one chick where you lost hun-
dreds before. It‘s a positive fact. We
guarantee it. The Leavitt & Johnson
National Bank, the oldest and strong-
est bank in Waterloo, Iowa, stands
back" of this guarantee. You run no
risk. If you don’t find -it the greatest
httle chick saver you ever used, your
money Will be instantly refunded.

proved Stock on a county-wide basis
was indicated by a successful sale held
at Petaluma, California, under the aus-
pices of the Sonoma county Farm Bu-
reau cooperating through the county
agricultural agent with the State «Col-
lege of Agriculture and the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Forty-two choice single-comb White.
Leghorn cockerels were (sold, largely
to local buyers, by fireeders of the
coast states. The average priceswas
$46.66 and the top price was $162.50,
demonstrating that scientific breeding
and the keeping of records to deter-
mine reliable stock are a paying prop-
osition._

the idea of holding the sale, it was
adopted, but it did not meet with ap-
proval from all sources. However, he
felt confident that the poultrymen of
the county would be sufficiently inter-
ested'in better breeding stock to war-
rant holding such a sale. He also re-
ceived encouragement from a number
of poultry breeders in the Pacific
Coast states. Preliminary ‘arrange-
‘ments for the sale were accompanied
by an intensive publicity campaign. -

The plans for the conduct of this
pioneer sale were very simple. The
rules and regulations, which may be
of interest to others contemplating
such sales, provided that no birds be
admitted except single-comb White
Leghorn cockerels of the 1921 spring
hatch and from parents (dam and
sire’s dam) with trap-nest records of
250 eggs or more, per year; that con-
signments from a single breeder be
limited to five birds and the total to
sixty; that the breeder’s personal
statement, sworn, to before a notary,
regarding the breeding of the birds ac-
company each consignment; that each
cockerel be sold to the highest bidder
for cash; that not more than twenty-
five per cent of the sale price be de-
ducted for sale expenses. A catalogue,
supplying sale information and a list
of the birds consigned by each breeder
with the egg record of the dam and
the sire’s dam of éach bird, was sup-
plied as a convenient help in examina-
tion of the birds, which were exhibited
before the sale.

Over two hundred interested poulv

half of them were active bidders. Al-
though the consignments came from
various parts of California and the‘Pa-
cific Coast, only‘five cockerels went to
buyers outside of Sonoma county, a
result very pleasing to-the promoters.
This sale demonstrated convincingly
that in order for poultry breeders to
be successful they must not only trap-
nest but must enter their pullets in
egg-laying contests. The breeders who
had been most successful in this work
received the higher prices for their
cunsignments at the sale.- In conse-
quence, trap-nesting and record-keep-
ing will undoubtedly be more gener-
ally followed by purchasers of these

cockerels.

WORLD’S RECORD SHATTERED.

 

ORMAN’S Red Rose, No. 89724; a
beautiful pure-bred Guernsey cow
owned by A. M. Smith, of Lake City,
a Presbyterian minister who settled in
Missaukee county in 1912 because of
broken health, is believed to have

‘_ shattered the world’s record for Class

C animals. She has just completed a
year’s test showing 15,132.30 pounds of
milk and 760.72.. pounds of butter-fat.

Not only has Mr. Smith regained his
health in clearing his farm, milking
and tending his cows, and doing gen-

 

 

leral farm work, but his cows have
? amassed him a small fortune. Recently
a large Illinois breeder purchased ten

of his best cows—R.

SHALL WE CONTINUE THE GRAIN
WHEN HERD IS ON PASTURE?

 

'IN changing the hérd from dry feed

to pasture it is advisable to make
the change rather slow, especially
with heavy-milking cows. Early pas-
ture always contains a high per cent
of water and a low amount of dry mat-
ter. It is next to impossible for heavy-
milking cows to consume enough of
such feed to supply the necessary
amount of nutrients to maintain maxi-
mum milk production.

I find it a splendid practice when
turning to pasture in the spring to con-
tinue feeding the winter ration in such
amounts as the cows will readily con-
sume. If the herd is allowed “to pas-
ture only a half-day at a time for the
first week or two, most of the cows
will continue to eat a good rationof
both roughage and grain at night and
in the morning. For'the first day or
two after being turned to pasture the
cows may not take well to the rough-
age feed, but in a very short time they—
will gradually come back to their reg-
ular ration, Another reason why the
change 'from‘dry feed to pasture should

' be done gradually, is that the sudden

 

change produced a marked taste in the' I

TURNI‘NG THE HERp' TO PASTURE.
WHEN SHALL IT 31-: DONE?
O matter how much we enjoy

N feedirfi and taking care of the
cows at Forest Grove Farm the work
after Several‘ months grows rather
wearisome and we" invitingly look
forth to the day when the yard gate
sWings open and the herd goes out to
pasture.
‘Some dairymen do not believe it a

 

good practice to turn the bend to pas--

ture before the. tenth of May, while

others turn out as, early as the fif-V

teenth of April. I think this depends
largely upon‘the season and pasture.
Upland pasture comes on‘ much slower
in the spring than lowland pasture.

On my farm I have about forty-five
acres of lowland pasture and I find
this pasture comes on very early in
the spring. I have found that if‘l do
not turn onto this lowland pasture at
.least by the twentieth of April the
early quick-growing family of grasses
become coarse and the herd having
plenty of other feed do not graze these
grasses which become woody and not
easy to masticate. If I turn out along
about the middle of April for a half-.
day at a time the herd will graze the
early varieties of grasses and keep
them down and make good feed the
entire season, while otherwise I would
lose this amount of pasture.

' I consider it most practical to main-
tain a permanent pasture for my dairy
herd. I have not in years pastured my
cultivated land. My lowland pasture
supplies abundance of pasture for my
herd f10m the time I turn out until
late in the fall. I grow, however, some
supplemental feed to furnish the cows
a change of feed and also to help out
the pasture so that it will not become
over-grazed. If I were compelled to
pasture my cultivated land I would not
want to turn to pasture until the land
was well settled and the pasture ob-
tained a good start. This would be
along about the tenth to the fifteen of
May. Turning out on cultivated land
early in the spring is injurio to the
soil and pasture production—“eh C. R.

 

BUT IT IS A CHANGE FOR THE
BETTER.

 

O arrange the work of the farm so

that each department can be made
to turn a profit is one of the important
problems of the average farm. Where
silos are added to the farm buildings
a change of farm management must
follow. Less hay is needed, less land
is required for pasture, more stock can
be kept on the land, more land must
be used for corn, or at least sufficient
corn must be planted to fill the silo.
Less labor is required to feed the stock
but more must be provided during the
short season of silo filling.

, INTERNATIONAL GRAND CHAM-

PION COMES TO MICHIGAN.

 

(Continued from first page).

Experts say that very few Belgians
have the distinguished make-up such
as is possessed by “George Henry.”
His beautiful bronze chestnut color,
smart intelligent head, well set, ha'rd
legs, good feet, well balanced body and
bold flashy action, wins instant admir-

"ation, and from results, so far obtain-

er, his show record will be equaled. by
his ability as a breeder.

Choice Mares Accompany “George
Henry.”

To obtain a more select ,herd of
mares than the twelve animal’s which
accompanied “George Henry” to Wild
weed Farms would indeed be a most
difficult task. These mares range from
three to seven years and were obtain-
ed for Mr. Scripps by Mr.‘S. H. Bell,
of the Bell Brothers, .Wooster, Ohio.
They have been chosen from the most
prominent Belgian herds in Ohio, Indi-
ana and Michigan and it can be truly
said that they are representative of
the very best results obtained by
American breeders of Belgian draft
horses. Some of them are already es-
tablished as producers of outstanding

.colts, others have been winners at

several of the prominent shows and the
younger mares have every appearance
of a brilliant career. 'Wi'th the/mate-
rial procured, Mr. Scripps should build
a breeding establishment of nation-
wide, importance.

In commenting on the mares, special

mention should be made of a few. .In salt.

United States as close to the champion About Saugatuck, one finds numerous

PASTURE FOR THE HOGS.
f . .

 

N dividing a hoglot sow rye in ‘one

section during the ‘latter part of the
summer, 'which is ready for pasture
about, the middle of Novembed' and
continues in use until the last of May
or June. ' ' * ~ g "
Early in the spring sow rape in the
second section, which is ready for pas-
ture about the time the first section
has been finished and continues until
fall. Sometimes you~ can sow cats in-
stead of rape in the second section,
and sometimes both. During the re-
maining part of the year, which —in-
cludes the latter part of September,
all of October and part of November,
allowihem to “hog down" parts of
other fields of grain.

This method of pasturing prOvides
plenty of succulent seed, anddt does
not require much land to take care of
thirty or forty head of hogs.—-V. A. G.

TH E BALKY HORSE.

SUBSCRIBER writes that he has

started balky h'orses successfully
by putting a rubber band around the
tongue of the offending animal and
.then handle him carefully. If no band
is available use a. cotton string. The
band or string attracts the mind of
the horse from his stubbornness when
he will usually obey his master.

THE VALUE OF THE PURE-BRED

HE advantage of using pure-bred
bulls is well illustrated in the
herd of Dan Casement, who has used
registered Hereford bulls for many
years. In 1920 his grade cow herd
consisted of one hundred head of this
same year’s calf crop, forty—four were
bulls which were 'steered, and two car-
loads of them selected and fed as year-
iings for exhibit at the 1921 Interna-
tional Live'Stock Show. ’
One load was fed for the short-fed
specials, in which class quality_and
condition count fifty per cent, gains

gains twenty-five per cent. Mr. Case-
ment’s load gained 3.27 pounds daily
at the cost of $10.79 per cwt., which

and when the premiums were award-
ed they won the championship over all
breeds. . I, ‘

 

NORTHERN AREAS GOOD SHEEP
LAND. ‘

HOUSANDS of acres of northern

Michigan land between Saginaw
and Mackinaw‘that now are idle could
be made to yield good dividends
through sheep raising, according to
scores of farmers’and ranchmen now
engaged in this industry, These expe-
rienced men make it clear that sheep
raising should not be undertaken in
this part. of the state by anyone but
those who understand the business
thoroughly. They point to a number
of failures that have arisen because
the farmers, through lack of knowl-
edge, have pastured too many animals
on a given acreage. Employment of

es also has placed large figures on the
wrong side of the ledger. "

“If the sheep business is handled in

THE GROWING DE’MAND FOR
' LIGHT CATTLE.

\

 

OR the past several years there has '

been a decided change in the mar-
ket. demands for cattle. This Ehange
has developed from the point where
heavy steers were selling at a premi-
um onvour main ’markets to a decided
preference today for light cattle. Dur-
ing the past year yearling steers have
as a rule out-sold older: and heavier
cattle with the latter often being a
“drug on .the market.” The following
headihgs 'of the daily market reports
in recent issues of the live stock pa-
pers are a. good index to the compara-
tive demands for the different classes
of cattle: “Light Cattle Enjoy Better
Call; Heavy Stufl Du11;” “Yearlings in
Good Demand;” “Light Steers Holding
Up; Heavies Dull.” ‘

A writeaup in a late issue (if one of ‘

the market papers is also significant
in this connection. The article was fear
turing the sale of some choice heavy
steers which sold for $9.25 per cwt.
In commenting on this sale the writer
said: “Had they weighed 300 pounds
less they probably would have» realized
$10 per cwt. Some of the buyers would
not look at them on account of their

~ great weight.” .

. A lesson can well be learned from
these market reports as they in turn
reflectthe increasing demand of the
consumer for small cuts of beef. For
this reason and the fact that land val-
ues are gradually increasing, the ten-
dency will be more and more toward
the production of high quality cattle
that will finish out easily and econom-
ically at an age that will show a profit
to the breeder and feeder.

WHEAT

The long contest between the “bulls”
and “heals” in May wheat with its at-
tendant effects upon the cash market,
seems to be turning in favor of the
bulls, as the statistical‘
wheat has indicated that it would. For
a time the quantity of May wheat be-
ing held by exporters and millers who
wished to take delivery, was in doubt,
but at present the belief prevails that
these exceed the ability of shorts to
make delivery so that the latter are
due to be “pinched.” Renewal of ex-
port buying has made the most impres-
sive showing. Both old and new crop
wheat have been bought from North
America, and France and Italy have
bought some southeln hemisphere
wheat on passage. The poor outlook
for the coming crop in France is a

source of alarm. Greece is expected

to buy 1,500,000 bushels in another
week or two. Furthermore, Argentine
prices have advanced lecently until
North American wheat was l'elativ ly
cheaper delivered in Eulope and iv~
erpool advanced until it was practical-
ly on a full shipping difference over
Chicago. Since large shipments from
the southern hemisphele have not de-
pressed the Eulopean market further,
the prospect that all the available
wheat would he wanted had a pro-
found change on sentiment, especially
since the revival came when a period
of inactivity due to holidays abroad
was expected. Receipts have dwindled
rather steadily for weeks but are
about equal to the ten- -year average
for this season of the year, although
much lighter than last year.

CORN

Although the demand for corn has
fallen off sharply, the receipts have
dwindled to such small volume that
the market has strength. The muddy
roads and the busy season on farms

. are restricting sales by producers and

a light movement to market is expect-
ed throughout May. Export clearances
are nearly equal to arr-ivals at primar-
ies although this movement is apt to
shrink before long. Delay in seeding
oats promises to throw more acreage
into corn, although the supply of old
corn does not indicate that such an in-
crease‘ is desirable.

OATS

Oats prices closely follow fluctua-
tions in other grains. .The delay in
seeding will cut down both acreage

‘ and yield. of the new crop but the sup-

. ply at terminals is too large to be

position of ~

‘ common and medium at $6. 60@8; 25;

   

storing basis. All interests are avoid-
ing holding heavy stocks.

Prices for 92-score fresh butter were
as follows:

Chicago 3755c; New York 38c. In
Detroit fresh creamery in tubs sells
for 360 per pound.

POULTRY AND EGGS

Receipts of eggs at the four leading
cities are practically at a record level
but it is probable that they are'now
at or very near [the maximum. Prices
are low enough to induce cold storage
operators to take about 60 per cent of
the supply. A further decline in val-
ues is improbable unless the extreme-
ly heavy receipts hold up longer than
they usually do.

Chicago—Eggs miscellaneous 22%
@230; dirties 201,5@210; checks 20(0)

nary firsts 22%@23c., Live poultry,

over‘come as long as the demand is
apathetic. Receipts are shrinkingand
time of year. Receipts of kaffir and
are now below the average for this
milo have declined along with other ‘
grains and the prices have held fairly
steady for several weeks at the de-
cline which occurred in the first part

of March.
SEEDS

The spring demand for clover and
grass seed is nearly over although
the wet weather has delayed oats seed-‘
ing. Price's are about 10 per cent. low-
er than the high point of the season
and have changed but little in the. last
two weeks. Shipments from the lead-
ing markets are on the decline. .

FEEDS

Demand for millfeeds is indifferent
while holders,are not crowding so that

the market is quiet. Production is fair- hens 26c; broilers 40@500; roosters

duced the demand for beans and the
prices are a shade lower at $7.10@7.15
per 100 pounds for white hand-picked
stock, f. o. b. Michigan shipping points.
The supply of beans is so small, how-
ever, that no big decline appears pos-
sible. The demand usually slackens
about this timeand continues dull un-
til late August. Some beans are being
offered for import but none have ar-
rived so far as reported

- * WOOL

Buying of wool increased slightly
during both of the last two weeks,
with woolen mills more active than
worsted concerns. Another purchase
of Arizona wool at around 350 a pound
at Boston has ‘been reported. The
amount of the new clip offered thus far
has been small or trading probably
would be still more general. Foreign
wool markets still show strength much
to the surprise of the trade in this
country. In spite of the advance of
nearly 40 per cent in the price of wool,
Cloth prices have remained unchanged

until last week,, when the American-

Woolen Company announced an ad-
vance of 10 to 35 cents per yard for
woolen cloth. Worsteds have not yet
been changed. This advance is rather
surprising in view of the dullness of
the goods trade during the last five Gr
six months, but it will serve to pre-
vent cancellation of orders. With the
mills consuming more than twice as
much wool each month, as is grown in
this country, with business. conditions
generally on the upgrade, and foreign
wool markets strong, conditions are
shaping up to favor a recovery of the
loss in wool values which occurred
during March.

GRAND RAPIDS

.The potato market displaced traces
of more activity in Grand Rapids this
week. Movement slowed up' as a re-
sult of the land becoming tillable and
every hour was needed to prepare for
this season’s plantings. Prices ranged
from 80@90c a bushel. Home-grown
stuff was «more plentiful on the city
Among the new of-
ferings, besides green- onions, were
small lots of spinach and rhubarb.
Hothouse leaf lettuce eased as the
supply increased and sales were being
made as low as 160 per pound. Egg
bids were mainly steady at 21@22c.
Poultry was quiet but live stock was
beginning to look up as a result of the
passing of Easter. Lambs are scarce
and firm at $11@13c a pound live
weight. Hogs were steady at 8@10c.

DETROIT CITY MARKET

Onthis market greenhouse stuff we
dominated. It was in plentiful supply
and the demand was good. Root crops,
especially carrots, were in active de-
mand. Horseradish also‘ moved good
and poultry was sought for. Prices
are as follows: Cabbage $1@1. 50;
carrots $1. 75@2; 75; horseradish .$3@
5; potatoes $1@1.25; poultry 30@3oc

GRICULTURE is the greatest in-

dustry in the United States. It
, is an eighty billion dollar affair.
Once it gave the nation tWenty-two
billion dollars in new wealth every
year and supplied fifty per cent of its
bank deposits. It will do the same

.and more if it is given a square deal

, today. But if it is to flourish it must

be encouraged and safeguarded.

The time is past when the nation,

should tolerate those whose greed in-
sists on making the farmers the goats,
men who would bleed farmers white
in order to amass fortunes to hide
away in tax‘exempt securities. The

,wolves already have been permitted to

run free too long. Market‘ gamblers
have had their day and have robbed
1ight and left with impunity. I hope
that particular book of wrong has fin-

. ally been closed.

ffive million dollars as a revolving fund ‘

Mr. President, it is up to congress
and the government to assist in work-
ing out a national program which will
give the farmer a larger share of the
fruits of his .labor and a chance to
have something to say abOut the price
he receives for his products. Cooper-
ative marketing should be encouraged.
Better credit facilities must be estab-
lished to enable the fanmer successfully

to operate with his slow turnover. He

must have, and rightfully can demand,
as good financing as other industries
and businesses receive. That is only
fair. Today the farmer, very largely,
gets credit in a haphazard, unsystem-
atic way—after other industry has
been served. Helgets the crumbs, if
there are.any, from the financial table.
In the last few ye rs even ‘the crumbs
had been cleaned up before the farmer
has a chance at them.

Certain things of an emergency na-
ture have been attempted and accom-
plished and they are helping relieve
the agricultural situation. Immediate
1eliei‘ of intolerable conditions were
sought. The worst injuries were t1 eat-

. ed. Much still remains to be done.

Mr. President, I wish to call atten-
tion to the fact that this corrective
legislation has been sponsored and pro-
moted by the agricultural bloc. Con-
gress has realized the grave import.
ance of doing something constructive
to aid agriculture and has passed sev-
eral valuable acts. The billion dollar
War Finance Corporation to handle
agricultural credit more effectively is
one. The Capper-Tincher future trad-
ing bill to regulate the grain exchange
is another. Then there is the packer
control bill, the agricultural emergen-
cy tariff bill—the Kenyon bill increas-
ing interest rates on bonds of the farm
loan banks from five to five and one-

, half per cent and the Curtis bill a11-

thorizing the appropriation of twenty-

for the Federal Farm'Loan Banks. One

.of the most important enactments was

the passage of the measure permitting
farmers to market their products co--
operatively. That measure gives the
farmer the opportunity to help himself
in' overcoming and removing many of
the evils that have' grown up in the
marketing of agricultural products. It

will tend to reduce the great spread

between the prices the producer re-
ceives and the price ’the consumer
pays for the products. ~

' The farm bloc favors a liberal but
sane appropriation for the department

of agriculture so that it may functmn

efficiently and conduct its activities on
a scale in conformity with the size

and importance of the industry it

serves:

The farm bloc would restore to
state railway commissions much of
the power taken aWay from them by
an- unwarrantable interpretation of the
transportation act by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Another measure. favored by the
farm bloc which will contribute to a
permanent and prosperous system of
agriculture is the development of the
Muscle Shoals project. We should re-
sume work immediately on the govern-
ment’s great fertilizer and power
plants on, the Tennessee River. The
nation’s fertilizer bill is now about
two hundred and fifty million dollars
annually. I believe it is possible to
reduce this one-half if we carry out
the Muscle Shoals project.

The farm block is supporting the
Capper-French truth-in-fabric bill to
compel makers \of clothing to brand
their goods so that the buyer will
know the amount of pure wool and
the amount of shoddy in it.

And first in its program the farm

ture. The farm bloc knows that

a credit plan which will give relief to
agriculture, which will make more
money for financing the slow turnover
of the farms, which will give the farm-

er another opportunity to go ahead

with his work with a decent chance
to make good. If.that is accomplished
it will mean cheaper food, more work,
reopened factories and mills, and a re-
turn 'of good times.

An obvious need in the way of
further legislation for the encourage-
ment of agriculture, is a.law that will
make the Federal Reserve Board more
responsive to the farmer’s credit
needs: This is best met, in the judg-
ment of many, by the bill, which al-
ready has passed this body and is
pending in the house, providing for the
recognition of agriculture in the ap-
pointment of members of the board.
This bill makes but a single change in
existing law, inserting the word “agri-
culture” so that when appointing mem-
bers of the Federal Reserve Board the
President “shall have due regard to
a fair representation of the different
commercial, industrial
and geographic divisions of the coun-
try.” A studied effort has been made
to have this legislation appear to be
class legislation,’but such a conclusion
can be reached only as a result of a
complete [failure to comprehend its
import. Agriculture is our. greatest
industry. Surely an effort to have it
given only the' same Consideration that
is given to commercial and industrial
divisionsin our nation cannot truth-
fully be defined as an attempt to ob-
tain class legislation. ‘When the de-
pendence of other industries on agri-
culture is more clearly understood, I
look for the prompt enactment of the
bill by the house. Only fear that the
President, might appoint a man ill-fit-
ted for the place to this position can
justify further opposition to this meas-
ure, and surely that is a far-fetched.

by Secretany of Agriculture Wallace.

Mr. President, the charge has been

legislation and that its aim is to profit
agriculture no matter at what cost to
The men who make
that charge lose sight of the funda-
mental ‘fact.that agriculture is basic,
that what contributes to its prosperity
and well-being. unquestionably bene-
fits all industry. When agriculture is
profitable, the nation is prosperous.

It is not class'legislation to demand
that agriculture have as good credit
facilities as any other business; that
farmers be encouraged to work togeth-
er to improve their marketing condi-
tion; that the market gamblers and
speculators and the selfish class which
has grafted off of the farmers for many
years, be unmasked and controlled.

The farm bloc does not recognize
the right of any class to have an ad-
vantage at the expense of another
group or of the population a s a whole.
The interests which oppose it, fight
the farm bloc because it does not tol-
erate their pet piracies. Vested inter-
ests have been blood-sucking thefarm-
er long enough.

Purposes of the farm bloc are'eco-
nomic, not political. It is striving for
a‘more sensible program of national
development in which agriculture will
occupy its rightful position and be ac-
corded the interest it deserves. Its
aim is to bring about a better under-
standing and a greater cooperation
among all worthy elements of the pop-
ulation to the end that all may be
aided. And it will fight and fight hard
to accomplish that aim.

will be done. We have an able and
efficient secretary of agriculture. His
department is doing great work for
the upbuilding of the agricultural in-
terests of this country. A. liberal pol-
icy toward this department will serve
to make more valuable and service
able the legislation already enacted
and to safeguald the implovement in

Value of the honey bee to fruit grow-
ers and farmers in general was stress-
ed at the bee-keepers’ schools which
were held throughout the state last
winter and this spring under the direc—
tion of B. F. Kindig, state inspector of
apiaries. Many new “Honey-Money
Clubs” will be formed in new cemmu-
nities this season as a result of. these

schools.

interest in growing of small fruits
in'the Grand Traverse region is stead~
ily increasing and in all probability a
large acreage will be set to these crops
this spring. Owing to the light soils
in some parts of the area, it is believ-
ed overhead irrigation ma be neces;
sary for successful and profitable cul-
ture. .’

,,, . 10,1921,the
' ”3],. 30x31/2“Usco”
~-~v 334 was marked to
sell for $10.90.

This odd and closely
.figured price was the
lowest quotation ever
made on any” tire of
known standards.

A genuine pioneering,
step by the makers of
' . U. S. Tires.

-x- ' * «It- ,1

Now comes a lot of
different $10.90 tires
being rushed into the
market. “Special”~- tires.
“New” treads. ‘ '.

Unfamiliar to look at
—with perhaps an atmosc
phere of having been
made to meet the price.
_ But the “Usco” still
occupies a place by itself.
A good old standby on ,
millions of cars for
years. Better than
it ever was.
