CURRENT COMMENT

THE MIOHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





1 Keep cooperative businesses free

from entangling alliances with vision-

:ary social “isms.”



Too many heads are turned to the

‘appeal of “luck” and from the modest





lreturns of thrift.





_ Integrity, fidelity and unselfishness

.iform the tripod of successful cooper-

; ative effort. .



. When disloyalty knocks the initial

“1n” from members, “embers” are all

that remain.

put “earn” into ‘.‘learn” did much to

further the club movement.





T appears that we

Money those who are indif-





ferent to the times

and choose to follow the same old ex-

pensive methods of production that

served, us during the prosperous years

~of the war, are likely to find them-

selves traveling toward the slough of

bankruptcy. On the other hand, the

farmers who are making a close study

of their farming and choose to go the





.way of economical production will in.

due time find their accounts showing .





a balance on the right .side of the

ledger.



There is, however, a mistaken idea

in the minds of many" as to ways and

means of keeping down the cost in

farming. Tob many believe that it can

only be done by going back to the old





system of laboring with more energy,





and sticking to the job for more hours

each day. This may, and is quite apt

to be, the very road that leads to bank

ruptcy. Too much physical labor often

so dulls the mind of the farther as to

make him unable .to think out his

problems clearly and to discover the

better and cheaper way to accomplish

his w01k. Generally speaking, that

ready given him much information of

immense value in-the occupation which

furnishes his livelihood and is prepar-

ing to yield him far more of that type

of service in the future. ‘



For example, the farmer has usually

been a subscriber to‘the paper printed

in the town nearest his farm and has

relied on its columns for information

‘as to the market. This has been quite

satisfactory but there has been a con-

siderable amount of unavoidable de-

lay. ‘The papers carry the latest mar-

ket news of the day of their publica-\

"tion but, if they- are evening papers,

do not reach the farmer, ordinarily,

until about noon of the day after going

to press. Meantime, of course, the

market may‘ have changed. There may

have been a serious slump in the very

product which the. farmer is hurrying

to market on the strength of what he

has *read in the paper. It is a demon-

have lost

thousands of dollars through market

fluctuations from day to day.



With a radio set in his home, how-

ever, the farmer is exactly informed of

the state of the market on the very

day when that state prevails. He can

get his produce to his purchaser on

the same day that he receives the in-

formation, before any change can take

place in price.



Again, the radio will be of selvice in

informing the farmers of the condi-

tions of market demand in particular

localities. Let us say that a dealers’

phones to The News that there is an

unusual demand for Michigan straw-

will immediately broadcast that infar-

matign to all the farmers of the‘state

who have been wise enough to install

receiving sets and those same farmers

may arrange to take advantage of the





. condition before nightfall.





As .to the weather reports, the radio

is positively invaluable‘ to the agricul-

turist. There is no type of endeavor

so entirely at the mercy of the ele-

ments as his. It is a pitifully familiar

experience for a farmer to set out his

crops some warm day in early spring,

when the danger of a destructive frost

seems slight, and to awaken the next

morning to "‘a universe of sky and

snow,” with the ground frozen and.ice

in the rain-barrels. This inevitably

means serious loss and sometimes

ruin.



If this same farmer had been aware

that a, blizzard Was racing toward him

from northern Canada at a rate of

sixty miles an hour and Would doubt-





less arrive before midnight, lie would





have postponed his spring labors until





‘ organization,





the blizzard was safely out of the way.

This information the radio will give

him.



Of not less importance to the rulal

sections is the recently inaugurated

program of university extension. _Pro-

fessors from both the University of

Michigan and the Michigan Agricultur-

al College have already given address-

es which have been attended by ama-

teur operators in all parts of the state.

The University of Michigan professors

have, of course, spoken on matters of

general educatioanl .interest but those

from M. A. C. have spoken and will

continue to speak on subjects of par-

ticular interest and value to farmers.

It is also the opinion of President

Friday that the radio is bound to work





out a closer union between the furmn

ers of Michigan and the inhabitants of ‘





the cities and towns and mean much

in the promotion of a sympathetic sol-

idarity in the citizenry of the state.

This will undoubtedly follow if the

farmers maintain their present gait in

the installation of receiving sets. In

rate, there should no longer be any

Every spring farmers revive their

old feud with the Jim Crow family,

carrying on a desultory battle by

means of scarecrOws, epithets, and the

more effective deterrents of coal tar

and poison. Coal tar, which may be

secured at gas plants” and some paint

shops is not a poison, but it imparts

a disagreeable gassy odor to the seed

grain that is distasteful to crows and

other posts. It has the advantage, not

possessed by some other deterrents on

This, then, is what the radio means

today to the resident of the near or

remote agricultural community and it

contains more than a hint of What it

'will come to mean before many months

are past. And, should the enterprise

THE u. s. BUDGET.,





 





HE budget, 'system of making ap-

propriations is developing consid-

,' erable criticism in congress' It has

been found: that one man can not ex-

amine every detail of the requirements

of the thousand and one government

departments, bureaus and divisions,

and therefore the director of the, bud-

get must necessarily leave the details

to subordinates.



The agricultural department esti-

mate is cut $3,000,000 by the estimate

of the budget. When it was submitted

by the secretary of agriculture to the

director of the budget he did not look

it over himself. He placed it in'the

hands of one of the employes of the

budget bureau, who was formerly the

manager of the La Salle Hotel, in Chi-

cago, a person who, so far as the rec-

ord,discloses, never farmed in his life

or had any knowledge of agriculture.



The Estimate then went for the sig-

nature of the director of the budget,

and he refused tosign it. He said the

amount had not been cut sufficiently,

and designated an army office1 who

knew nothing about agriculture. This

general this army officer, without any

knowledge of ag1icultu1e and without

conference with the employes or heads

of the bureaus in the department of





agriculture, took the estimate and cut -





it another $2,000,000.





=l'H E SENATE’S EXTRAVAGANCE.





 





HE budget bureau’s indiscriminate

slashing of appropriations without

understanding the departmental needs

is nearly counter-balanced by the sen-

ate’s equally unintelligent extrava~

gance in increasing appropriations by

hastily prepared amendments.

out any apparent first-hand knowledge

of the requirements of the department

. of agriculture, the senate just as reck-

lessly increased the appropriation to

the extent of more "than one and a

half million dollars within a few min-

utes’ time, including the petty $360,000

tree seed distribution “graft.” In like

manner, the appropriation for the sup-

port of the state and justice depart-

ments carried an increase of $1,971,-

333 over the amount passed by the

- house. In view of these actions on the

.part of the house and senate, there is

some inquiry as to the use of having

a budget director.

THE WATERWAY MATTER.

T is now authoritatively settled that

hearings on the _St. Lawrence ship





Moore stated ,





that the route proposed can be used

at least a month longer than the St.

Lawrence-Canadian route, that insur-

ance rates would be lower and that it

would link the west with the great in-

dustrial consuming centers of the east,

which consume many times more of

the products of the middle west anu

northwest, than the amount that would

ever be exported through the proposed

St. Lawrence Canal.





 





THE PURPOSE OF THE LAND '

BANK BILL. ‘





 





HE purpose of this bill is eXplain-

ed by Representative Upshaw:

“However vigii‘ant the directors of the

regional banks under the present sys-

tem may be, it is impossible to com-

municate and negotiate With prospec-

tive borrowers as promptly and as sat-

isfactorily as could be done' if there

were a branch bank in the capital of

each state. The farm loan associa-





become president of the Michigan Ag-





ricultur'al College, presented plans for '





the expansion of the college curricu-

him, which plans Were adopted unani-

mously by the board.



The plans call for a widening of the

scope of the horticultural department.

Details of a new course in administra-

tive engineering were approved; a new

soil experiment station is to be located

at Mancelona and the board of agricul-

ture voted to cooperate with the State

Department of Agriculture in an _eco-

nomic land survey of the state. In ad-

dition to the proposed plans for change

the board made an exhaustive study

of next year’s college budget.



That students who elect to take the

new course in adm1nistrative.engineer-

ing will have the advantage of listen-

ing to lectures given by President Fri-

day is more than probable‘as he is,

' taking a great personal interest in the

development of this new course.

Town meeting day has come and

gone. This is the one institution

which has Withstood the test of time.

It goes back hundreds of years to the

old “Tum Moot” which was held in

England in King John’s time. The

township comes very near being a

pure democracy but even in our town-

ships we delegate much of the power

to the town board. Year after year

we vote a.huge sum to be spent on the

Up in Mason county, years ago, the

highway commissioner told me if I

would dig out one stump he would re-

ceipt my poll tax. I agreed before I

saw the stump. When I did see it, oh,

my! oh, my! It was an enormous one.

The highway man gave me the big

laugh but he soon had cause to laugh

on the other side of his face. The

stump was only a shell. Three blows

'with an axe de'molished it and the

day’s work was done. 4





I worked out my poll tax one tim

in Alabama by helping build a new

road through the woods. Just as l

was helping roll a log out of the road

by rhain strength, a big dog took hold

on the calf of my leg and gave me a

most gosh awful bite. I helped do poll

tax work on a rock hill in Missouri

and we wound up an early day with a

large keg of beer, rye bread and ween-

ies. Working out the road tax was a



gvery poor system but' it did promote a

social feeling.





We fruit men are in hopes that the

"TREATING POTATOES EOR SCAB.





 





Will you please tell me the best way

to treat potatoes for scab?—'W. S. M.





. Probably the most satisfactory way

of treating potatoes for scab is to use

one poundof formalin to thirty gal-

lons of water. Before cutting your

seed potatoes, soak them in this solu-

tion for at least ninbty minutes. After

they, are taken out of it, allow them

to dry, then cut and plant. It is ad-

visable to plant them‘ in soil in which

potatoes have not been grown the pre-

ceding year, and not directly after an

application of manure or lime. ‘Evén

though you soak your seed potatoes,

it would be advisable for you to throw

out the ones that are most seriously

affected.

Sweet clover is a very profitable

pasture crop. At the Michigan Agri-

cultural Station the past season, an

acre of sweet clover returned a profit

of $69 after allowing for the cost of

the feed at $40 a ton. The milk pro-

duced from the acre of sweet clover.

was valued at twenty cents a gallon.

Cattle soon become accustomed to the

sweet clover pasture when fed no oth-

er roughage fora few days. Sweet





clover is very succulent, consequently,





cattle should have access to dry feed.

The use of lime, inoculation, a well-

firmed seed-bed and scarifled seed

should not be overlooked in securing a.

’stand of «sweet eleven—C. R. M.

I would like to get some alfalfa ,,





started as soon as possible, but the

only ground I have to plant it on that

is not now seeded to other clover is a

small piece seeded to wheat, and about

two acresrseeded to rye with some

self-sown vetch, and about four acres

that has a very little mammoth clover

on it, seeded in cats last year. The

failure of the clover was due to not

getting the seed covered enough, as it

was late and the weather dry. This

piece is quite well seeded to our com-

mon weeds. What method can you

suggest to get alfalfa started on this

ground? I thought of plowing the rye





under after it had made some growth -





but this might make it late in theses.-

sou as the ground is high and sandy.

I once got a good stand of alfalfa soWn

in August after rye had been harvest-

ed for seed. I raised a few red kidney

great farming industry is nowhere on

equal footing with thevorganized world





of business andindustry, and the more,





we oppose or try to prevent the full





coordination of agriculture with na- »





tional life, the worse for us.



This amendment to the federal re-

serve act merely puts, agriculture on a

par with commerce and finance.



For an example indicating the need

of an agricultural representative on

the Federal Reserve Board the better

to balance its judgments and actions,

we need only go back.to the autumn





of 1920 when farmers were being forc- ‘





ed to ‘pay loans at a time when farm

prices had collapsed and were falling

daily. On November 1, 1920, When the

amount of loans on. farm paper held

by six of the great reservebanks only

totaled a little more than fifteen and

a half million dollars, the New York





 





conditions of the industry that three

times a day, year in and year out,

keeps this nation from going hungry,

can be called “class legislation." If

some one Will show me that, I will

agree that the “class 'legislation”

shouters are right. .



I have noticed during a more or less

busy life, that when agriculture pros-

pers everybody prospers, including the

bankers and business men, and when

agriculture doesn’t prosper nothing

else does. It seems an infallible rule.



When the senate passed the propos- ‘

ed amendment to the federal reserve

act providing that agriculture should

be represented on the Federal Reserve

Board along with industry, commerce

.and finance, the talk of Wall. Street

bankers was that this was “class legis-

lotion ” ' These bankers are new blt-~

terly opposing the action on this meas-

ure in the house and have the chair-

man of the house committee on bank-

ing and currency with them. 1



[Yet all this amendment does is to

correct a perfectly obvious discrimina-

tion against the largest and most im-

portant industry of all and give it

equal representation on the board

along v fth commerce, industry and-

finance. The prOposed amendment

merely inserts the word “agricultural”





in the clause reading. the President r‘





“shall have due regard to a fair repre-

se‘ntatibn of the different commerciél:

industrial and geographic ’d sinus of

the country.” ' . . _



No one seems to think itst leg-.

Reserve/Bank lentitwo hundred and

fifty millions to two member banks

noted for the amount of ‘business' they

transact with the speculative element.

Plenty of cash for speculations, mighty

little for a fundamental industry whose

credit needs, even in a normal year,

run into the billions.



The policies of a board which so

powerfully affects agriculture, com-

merce and industry, as the Federal

Reserve Board does, should only be

determined by a 'group of men of broad

understanding and in the most inti-

mate touch with the country’s condi-

tion and needs.



Under the federal reserve act, it is

the President’s duty to select the ap-

pointive members of the board. No

President, I am quite sure, would be

likely to put a farmer upon this boa1d

who was not entirely capable of meas

uring up to its responsibilities. Nor

can I see there is any dange1 of oner





. lone farmer member leading all the





other'five.members astray. Then why





1. should eastern financial interests be





so fearful of a farmer on the reserve

board? As for business qualifications,

for keen intelligence and for sane and

sound sense, I will match several farm-

ers I know against any man or men of

business I have ever met.



Besides being engaged in our larg-

eSt business, the farmers of this coun-

try have charge of its biggest bank-

T iSrblue Monday and everyone has

'the spring fever. The last couple



of days have been beautiful drying



~ days and we were all set for the fields

this morning, but we were awakened

early by the booming of thunder and

bright lightning flashes. The clouds

gather thick all around and ‘water

pours down in the middle and that is

about the surest sign of rain we know.

The air is warm, sultry and laden with

moisture, and gives one that smothery

feeling like comes to an outdoor per-

son upon entering a greenhouse.

Something inside of me says, “don't





work, don’t think, _





relax.” And all

nature lures one

to a leisurely

stroll afield be-

tween showers,or

even suggests

what a great day

it would be to “go

on this field, in fact, every crop that I

have ever tried does fine. Now, from

-. your experience Would you consider it

a paying proposition to put at least a





part" of this field into Hubam to raise-





a crop of seed. Drill it in rows thirty

inches apart and cultivate. My drill

is_an eleven-row drill so would have

. to sow twenty-eight or thirty-five inch-

es apart, which would you advise?

Could this crop be harvested so this

field could be prepared for wheat this

fall so I would not have to break the

rotation of crop I am following? This

'field raised a splendid crop of June

clover last year and was plowed last

fall. Would you consider eight bush-

els of seed to an acre too much to ex-

pect? If it is a fair question, what did.

you realize per bushel from your seed

last year? Howmany pounds of seed

are there in a standard bushel, and

the farm bureau or did you only send

hope to have something interesting to

these field experiments which will be

carried on this season by many farm-

ers besides myself, will determine

largely the demand for the seed in .the

future. Sq fa1 the seed has been so

poses, and from that standpoint it has

proved a decided success. It is now

up to it to make good as a forage and

the ground can be put in good shape,

and at the. rate of one and one-half to

two pounds of seed _per acre. Begin

cultivating as .early as possible and

when it is five or six inches high use

a good sharp spike-tooth drag cross4

ways therows. It will not hurt the

Hubam unless too much of the soil is

moved and the combing 'will elimi-

nate lots of weeds. Our seed last year

was ready to harvest, the first week in

September and it should have a week

or ten days to cure. So if [weather

conditions are favorable you should

be able to follow with wheat. The

shattering of the seed Would give you

a volunteer seeding in the wheat the

following season.



Our seed was consigned to the State

Farm Bureau seed department and

placed in the pool along with most all

the Hubam seed grown in the state.

The pool will not be closed until after

the spring seeding season, so we do

not know‘yet What the exact returns

will be. At the present time it is sell-

ing for twenty-five to sixtyJfive‘ cents

a pound. The seed looks just like al-

falfa or biennial sweet clover seed and

.weighs sixty pounds per bushel.





FARM LABOR IN DEMAND.





 





IT would appear from reports that

farmers and farm laborers are get-

ting nearer together. The supply of.

farm labor appears to be reaching nor-

mal proportions again following the

low point reached in 1920 when there

was hardly three-fourths of the supply

needed to properly carry on the farm

work. According to the federal crop

estimators, the demand for labor en

farms ~has.jumped up two per cent.

Lower wages have made possible the

hiring of a larger number of men.

Reclsr'snjHE CALVES.





 





HERE one is producing pure-



bred cattle, it pays to register

the calves as soon after birth as pos-

sible. Practically all the dairy breeds

make a lower rate for young animals

than for older ones. This saving can

be made by registering early. Besides,

where one looks after this duty before

turning the calves to pasture, he

avoids the possibility of making an er—

ror in identifying the different animals.





WAYN E LEADS.





 





EPORTS from the cow-testing, as-



sociations of Michigan for the

month of January .show that the

monthly average production of milk

for all cows was highest in the Wayne

county association. Mr. J. H. Mathei-

son, the tester, reports the average

for the 182 cows under his supervision

to have been 912 pounds of milk for

the month. The total‘ fat was 33.9

pounds. The Wayland Association

ranks second with \an average milk

production of 881 pounds and the aver-

age butter-fat 31.9 pounds. The. Kala-

pounds of milk, and twenty-eight

pounds of butter-fat.

EUROPEAN Fooo SITUATION.





 





‘ HE winter grain crops of Europe



{with the exception of Germany

and the Netherlands, are reported to

have made favorable progress during

the month of March. In Germany. the

ground was exposed to late frost with

injury to wheat and rye. It is also.

reported that a great shortage ’of farm

help may follow the keen demand for

factory hands in that country. This

may reduce the sugar beet acreage-

and lessen the ability of Germany to

re-enter the sugar export trade on a

brpad scale this year. The Italian

wheat harvest can be no more than a

fair crop, while Rumania’s acreage is

much below that of last year.

by about five thousand cars. Since the

Not Eaton—O've rton.





ANTOINE awoke at five o’clock.

The messenger whom he had des-

patched a few hours'earlier had

not yet returned. The blind man felt

' ,. strong and steady; he had food

brought him; while he was eating it,

his messenger returned. Santoine saw

the man alone and, when he had dis-

' missed him, he sent for his daughter.

' Harriet had waited helplessly at the

'«house all day. All day the house had

been besieged. The newspaper men——

, or most of them—and the crowds of

the curious could not be kept off; but

others—neighbors, friends of her fath-

er’s or. their wives ”or other members

of their families———claimed their prero-

gative of intrusion and question in

time of trouble. Many of those who

thus gained admittance were unused

to the flattery of reporter’s questions;

_ and from their interviews, sensations

continued to grow.





The stranger in Santoine’s house—

the man whom no one knew and who

had given his name as Philip Eaton—-

in all the reports was proclaimed the

murderer. The first reports in the pa-

pers had assailed him; the stories or

the afternoon papers became a public

clamour' for his quick capture, trial

and execution.

sent the idle and the sensation seek~

ers, with‘ the price of carfare to the

country place, to join the pack roam-

ing the woods for Eaton. Harriet,

standing at a window, could see them

beating through the trees beyond the

house; and as she watched them, wild,

hot anger “against them seized her. She

longed to rush out and strike them and

shame them and drive them away.





The village police station called her

frequently on the telephone to inform

- her of the progress of the hunt. Twice,

they‘told her, Eaton had been seen,

but both times he had avoided cap-

.ture; they made no mention of his hav-

ing been fired upon. Avery, in charge

of the pursuit in the field, was away

‘ all' day; he came in only for a few

moments at lunch time and then Har-

.riet avoided him. As the day progress-

ed, the pursuit had been systematized;

“the. wooded spots which were the only

"ones that Eaton could have reached

V unobserved from the places where he

had been seen, had been su1‘.rounded

They were being searched caiefully

one by one. Through the afternoon,

Harriet kept herself informed of this

search; there was no report that Eaton

had been seen again, but the places

flwhere he could he grew steadily fewer.

. The day had grown. toward dusk,

fw'hen a servant brought her word that

izher‘ father wished to see her. Harriet

‘l'went up to him 'fearfully. The blind

man seemed calm and quiet; a thin,

P'square packet lay on the bed.besid‘e

him; he held it out to her.

She snatched it in dread; the shape

of the packet and the manner in which

it 'was fastened told her it must be a

photograph. “Open it," her father di-'

rected.



She snapped the string and tore off

the paper _



She stared at it, and her breath left

her, she held it and stared and stared,

sobbing now as she breathed. The pho-

tograph was of Hugh, but it shoWed

him as she had never seen or known

him;

brow, the little lift of the head were

his; he was younger in the picture—-

she was seeing him when he was hard-

ly more than a boy. But it was a boy

to whom something startling, amazing

horrible had happened, numbing and

dazing him so that he could only stare

out from the picture in frightened,

helpless defiance. That oppression

which she had felt in him had just

come upon him; he was not yet used

to hearing what had happened; it

seemed incredible and unbearable to

him; she felt instinctively that he had

been facing, when this picture was tak-

en, that injustice which had changed

him into the self-controlled, watchful

man that she had known.





So, as she contrasted this man with

the boy that he had been, her love and

sympathy for him nearly overpowered

her. She clutched the picture to her,

pressed it against her check; then sud-

denly conscious that' her emotion

might be audible to her father, she

quickly controlled herself.



“What: is it you want to know, fath-

er?” she asked.



“You have answered me already

what I was going to ask, my dear,” he

said to her quietly.



"What, father?"



“That is thepicture of Eaton?"



“Yes. ”



“I thought so "



She tried to assure herself; of the

shade of the meaning in her fathe1' s

tone; but she c0uld not. She, under:

stood that her recognition ‘of the pic-

two had satisfied him in regaId to

something over which he had been in

doubt; but whethe1 this was to work

in favor of Hugh and herself—she

thought of herself now inseparably

with Hugh—or whether it threatened

them, she could not tell. _ : ’



“Father, what does this mean?” she

cried to him.



“What, dear?"



“Your having the picture. Where did

you get it. ‘7”



Her father made no reply; she re-

peated it till he. granted, “I knew

where it might be. I sent" for it.”





“But—but, father-—" It came to her

now that her father must know who

Hugh. was. "Who—” '



“I know who he is now,” her father

sail! calmly. “I ‘will tell you when I

can.” ‘



\f‘When you can?”



”Yes,” he said. He was still an in-

stant; she waited. “Where is Avery?”

he asked her, as though his mind had

gone to another subject instantly.



“He has'not been in, I believe, since

noon. ”



“He is overseeing the search for

Eaton?”



“Yes-’1



“Send for him. Tell him I wish to

see him here at‘ the house; he is to

remain within the house until I have

seen him."



Something in her father's tone start-

led and perplexed her; she thought of

Donald now only as the most eager

and most vindictive of Eaton’s pursu-

ers. Was her father removing Donald

from among those seeking Eaton? Was

he sending for him because what he

had just learned was something which





ed print pasted upon common square '





cardboard without photographer’s em~

boss or signature; and printed with

the picture, were four. plain. distinct

numerals—8253. She did not know

what they meant 'or if they had any

real significance, but so’mehowlnow

she was more afraid for Hugh than

she had been. She trembled as she

‘held the picture again to her cheek

and then to her lips.





She turned; some one had come in .





from the hall; it was Donald. He was

in riding clothes and was disheveled

and dusty fiom leading the men on

horseback through the woods. She saw

at he1 first glance at him that his

search had not yet succeeded and she

threw her head back in relief. Donald

seemed to have returned without meet-

ing, the servant sent for him and, see-

ingthe light, he had looked into the

lib1ary idly; but when he saw her, he

approached her quickly



“What have you there?” he demand-

ed of her.



She flushed at the tone. “What right

have you to ask?” Her instant im-

pulse had been to conceal the picture,

but that would make it seem she was





would make more rigorous and desper-a ashamed of it; she held. it so Donald





ate the search? The blind man's look

and manner told he1 nothing.



“You mean Donald is to wait he1e

until you send for him, father?”



“That is it.”



It was the blind mans tone ‘of dis-

missal. He seemed to have forgotten

the pictur;e at least, as his daughter

moved toward the door, he gave no

direction concerning 'it. She halted,

looking back at him. She would not

carry the picture away. secretly, like

this. She was not ashamed of her love

for Eaton; whatever might be said or

thought of him, she trusted him; she

was proud of her love for him.



“May I take the picture?” she asked





. steadily.





“Do whatever you want with it,” her

father answered quietly.





And so she took it with her. She

found a servant of whom she inquiied





for Avery; he had not returned so she

sent for him. She went down to the

deserted library and waited there with

the picture of Hugh in her hand. The

day had drawn to dusk. She could no

longer see the picture in the fading

BLOOD PRESSURE.





 





THERE are many reasons why the





blood pressure is an important

item to consider in standards of health.

It is an indication of the power of the

heart beat. It is an index to the re-

sistance or elasticity of the arteries.

It tells something as to the total vol-

ume of blood in the body. It has been

demonstrated that there are certain

degrees of blood pressure that are nor-A

ma] to the healthy individual and that

a variation of more than a few degrees,

especially a variation. upward, is a

warning symptom. .



Blood pressure varies a few degrees

for many factors. 'It varies with age,

sex, excitement, weakness, hunger,

heat,~cold, nervousness, hour of the

day and other conditions.



A fair, general estimate of normal

blood pressure is 120 for a person

twenty years old, with addition of one-

half point for each increasing year of

age. In'order to make sure of the

normal pressure for an individual he





should be examined at least'three >





times.



A low blood pressure often indicates

valvular heart affection, anemia, debil-

ity or chronic weakness.





The common error in blood pressure

is that of being higher than normal. It

is very important to discover the in-

creased pressure early. A t'ew added

millimeters of pressure constantly

maintained, soon adds enormously to

the burden placed upon the circulatory

organs. .



Adults are beginning to makeaprac-

tice of having blood pressure tested at

least once each year so that errors

may be detected and remeliied before

is concerned lettuce would not be class-

protein and 2.5 per cent carbohydrates,

calories per pound; according to At:

Says our correspondent: “The fourth

gospel, Chapter 1, verse 45, proclaims

Jesus in no uncertain__ language, to

have been the son of Joseph. Mat—

thew and Luke trace the genealogy of

Jesus through Joseph to King David,

and though they are not agreed in

many points the, inference is inescap-

able 'that Joseph was his father.

VVhence, then, this persistent efiort to

make the Jesus of history out some

thing that he was not?” ' '





Before attempting to answer this,

let me suggest one or two recent books

on Christ that are invaluable to any

one who wants to get a new and fresh

view‘of Jesus. Two books by Dr. T. R.

GIOVer, an English scholar (not a min-

ister), are exceedingly interesting and

gripping. They go deep, but in, plain,

every-day language. They are, “The

Jesus of History,” and “Jesus in the

Experience of Men.” Another is “The

Carpenter-and 'His Kingdom," (which

I hope to review in this department

in a week or two), by Alexander Ir-

vine. No- one can read such books

down without getting a new and deep-

er insight into the greatness of the

Master of men. ‘





 





. HE question as toChrist’s Deity is



{one of perennial interest. -Each

generation must settle it‘ for itself.

The fact that He was the son of a

human father would in no way dis-

credit His claims to being the Son of

God. If it. was God’s plan that ‘He

should be born of human parents that

would simply be God’s way of usher-

ing Him into the world. ‘The “persist-

ent attempt to make the Jesus of his-





- tory out of something He was not,” is





really reversed. The New Testament

makes Him out to be more than man,

but men are continually attempting to





~ reduce Him to the level of the great





man or the prophet, shorn of deity.

The picture presented to us in the gos-

pels, and indorsed’ by St. Paul is that

of a super—human being. Of course,

there is no compulsion on any one to

the end that he must believe this. The

whole picture is such that it makes its

own impression. John’s gospel is a

study of belief and unbelief, belief

leading on to positive assurance at

LETTER lies. before the writer. L was not easy" for these men to believe;

' “recently"received from a. reader.





The whale thing came ‘to' them very

slowly, for the most part.





Ohr correspondent also 'speaks of

the fall of man: 5“Whry,'in the face of

the revelations of science, do the

churches still speak about the ‘fall of '

man?’ Why has woman been looked

down on as 'being inferior toman, and

has had to struggle against supersti-





tion and ignorance, for -thou3ands of r





years because of her alleged betrayal

of the human race in an impossible

garden.” I will give in the words of

an eminent American theologian a

statement as to the'fall of man. This

writer is ‘but recently dead. “Doubt-v

less,” he says, “we have here, in this

Scripture account, a” world-tradition

which is not to be taken- as in bald lit-

eralism; but I can see’no forcible rea-

son why it may not be a picture-narra-

tive of actual fact. Why‘ may it not

be solid history in ‘naive drama?” A

little later he says, “I will give an

analytical statement of my full view:

1, this scriptural account of the crea-

tion and fall of man is a record of his-

toric facts; 2, these facts of narration

are given in naive dramatic form, ‘the

primitive style of narration character-





ten’; 3, the account was handed down

from the beginning as a world-tradi-

tion based on an original revelation

from God ;' 4,.this world~tradition was

at last cleansed under the inspiration

of the Hdly Spirit.”





THE same accountin a very .crude



and almostobscene form is given

by some ancient pagan faiths. That is

what Dr. Custis means _» by saying it

was cleansed by the Holy Spirit. This

may give our inquirer some helpful

points. The biblical-treatment of wom-

an was considered’in‘the issue of Felr

ruary 4. Woman was mistreated'be-

cause of the selfishness and brutality

of her masculine mate. And her con-

dition was never much bettered until

through the influence of Christianity.

We are told today by missionaries in

Mohammedan countries that one of

the favorite sayings of the Turk is,

that to educate a woman is like put-

ting a knife in the hands of a monkey.

A few years ago I saw in a religious

paper the photograph of a Mohamme-

dan farmer of North Africa plowing

with his wife (one of his wives) hitch-

ed to the plow beside a donkey.



The writer of these inquiries says

that he does not ask anyone to agree

withhim. I have every respect for the

man who honestly has difficulties on

the question of Jesus Christ’s person-

ality, I mean as to whether he was or

was not really the Son of God. Christ

himself had very greatpatience with

all such, yet what joy he expressed

when‘some one did glinmse the fact

that he was the Son of the living God.

More Money Making Stunts





By t/ze Stunter:





ERE are two of the many good

money-making experiences I re-

ceived in the recent contest.

Some good. ones came too late to be

considered and others lost out by

a shade.

will be printed—Uncle Frank.





 





By Joy Walker, Sandusky, Michigan,‘





Age 13 Years.

I like do make a little pin money for

myself. I had tried several plans





'which were not always successful.





But last year I succeeded in "My

Most , Profitable Money-making Stunt.”

We had never raised turkeys on our

farm so I decided to try turkey raising

one very small scale. I got five eggs

from a neighbor and set them under a

hen. When hatching time came, May

27, I had five little turkeys, all husky

andsmart.



Beside a pile of gravel I fixed a coop

for my little family, which separated

them entirely from all the other fowl

on the farm. I fed and watered them

with the greatest care, following the

directions for turkey raising. My pets

flourished. I could almost see them

grow. I



They had no drawbacks until Sep-

tember, when cholera struck our poul-

try. Three of my turkeys were affect-

ed. For a few days it looked as if my

hopes were doomed to disappointment.

But after much dosing they began to

recover and thy Thanksgiving time they

were a fine sight, especially one young





‘gobbler which weighed twelve pounds





and considered himself the “boss” of

the yard ’



I maiketed two of them before

Thanksgiving and the other three a

few days befone Christmas. The five

turkeys brought me $17. 73. I‘have





When space permits others-





saved enough of this money to buy

ten can this spring and I am hoping

my- luck stays with me through this

coming season.





 





By Charlotte R. Stables, Traverse

City, Michigan.



When I started inmy second year

in high school I was accompanied by

my younger sister, who was starting

her first year. It was necessary for

us to earn at least a part of the money

which we spent. We hit upon a novel

way of earning it which may be of

use to others.



First we rented three rooms, Which

were furnished, near the school house.

My sister took care of the house and





prepared the meals, leaving me firee '





to do other things.



I would go to school about one and

one- -half hours before school opened in

the morning and dust the superintend-

ent’ s office and the other moms on the

first floor. In the afternoon after school

I swept these same rooms and on Sat-





urdays I Washed the blackboards

which they contained.

When the lecture course, season





came on my sister spehtabout one

hour each evening «for a few weeks

selling tickets and in this way earned

our tickets for the year, and a few

dollars besides.



At the end of the year‘when we bal-

anced our books our total expenses

had been $20’4 and the money that we

earned amounted to $153 besides our

tickets to the lecture course for the

season.





This is about the best money-making .





experience I ever tried, and although

it was hard at times, if one really

wants an education badly enough to go

after it, he can get it.





 





New Handicraft Bulletin





_-__.__.,- W1





 





OYS and girls of Michigan can



make helpful tools— and utensils



of many descriptions for mother

and dad if they take advantage of the

new Handicraft Club Bulletin which is

now ready for distribution from the

office of the State Boys’ and Girls’

club leader at M. A. C.





Any boy between the ages of ten.





and eighteen .years may become a

member of the handicraft club and

carry out the exercises so thoropghly

outlined in the new bulletin, learning

the use of tools, and how to make such

useful things as buggy-jacks, wren

houses,‘ bench hooks, neck-tie racks

and many other simple and extremely

useful things.



Handicraft club work started in

Michigan in 1917 under 0. A. Spalding.

has led the thirty-three northern and

western states in this work and dur-

ing the last winter this state has had

work that can be accomplished by the

boys who like to handle a. carpenter's

tools. .



The instruction .is divided into two

classes of first and second-year work.

Handicraft club members between the

ages of ten and fourteen inclusive,

will be called .the Junior Handicraft

Club members and will be required to

HIS letter box will be where the, boys and girls can express their



views, tell of themselves and things about the farm, or ask

advice. The most interesting letters each week will appear here.

Addressyour letters to me.—-—Uncle Frank. ‘





 





 





Dear Uncle Frank: ‘



.1 am a girl, ten years of age, and in

the sixth grade. I found all the mis-

spelled words I could find, but the

most misspelled words were on page

two. I would be pleased if I should.

happen to win the prize. '



I like the letter that Helen M'oerdyk

wrote in the last Michigan Farmer.—

Dorothy Caie, Saranac, Michigan. .



You did not happen to win this time .

but that isn’t saying that you Will not

some other. time. Helen has another

letter in this week. Please write more





‘ next time. .





 





Dear Uncle Frank: ‘



The work required in~th’e' contests

is rightly called “Brain. Teasers.’.’ If

you win you have earned your dollar};

and if you don’t win you have learned,

something new each .time. "

'o Emerson says: “There is a gain for

every loss and a loss for every gain.”



Am glad that the boys lead for once,

because it seemed that the girls lead

in the beginning. --



I read the material of the first ten

pages about three times. During -the

.huntl found several grammatical er-

rors and some slang expressions. On

page two,‘some words were misspelled

twice, such as ’cause, ’specially, and

kin.—'—Helen Moerdyk, Oshtemo Mich.



You didn’t get quite enough of the

words to win this time. I like your

Emerson quotation. Emerson is‘one





'of my "favorite authors.

There are more boys and girls your

they are fine.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I am a boy seventeen years of age

and was very much pleased with the

check'and fine letter you sent me the

day before yesterday. . '



. I consider myself lucky, as this was

my second entryin your contest,



* Several years ago I won three prizes

in The Michigan Farmer, which my

parents have taken ever since. I can

remember and have always enjoyed

reading it.



This winter my brother and I caught

about 8.00 sparrows for which we re-

ceived $16 bounty. . '



I trap small fur-bearing animals ev-

ery year. This year I have caught



even muskrats, one skunk, one weas-

e, five or six woodchucks, some rab-

bits ,and last spring I captured a nest-

ful of young crows, one of which I fed

and tamed. He was with us until last

fall. He was roosting in the barn and

a horse tramped on him. Next spring

I’ll get another one. The antics and





‘ merits of a pet crow would fill a book.





Did you everxknow-of anyone that

raised skunks? I am going to try it

and would be glad to learn anything

more of the best methods. '*



I would like‘to receive a good long

letter from, you.~—.Iohn ‘0; Roberts,

A' Remarkable Experience bf Mrs.

C. M. Bradshaw' 1n Prevent-

ing White Diarrhea





The following letter will no doubt

baof utmost interest to poultry raisers

, w 0 have had serious losses from



White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.

Bradshaw tell of her experience in her

own words:





“Gentlemen: I see _ reports cf 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 dis-

couraged. As a last resort I sent to

‘the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. 507,

Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko White

Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c

packages, raised 300 White wyando'ttes

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 mail.—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

_‘ ch1cks So you can prove—as thou-

sands have proven—that it will stop

your losses and double, treble, even





 





 





 





 





‘ ,quadruple your profits. Send 5°C for





ge 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-

vdreds before. It’s a positive fact. We





guarantee it. The Leavitt & Johnson,





7‘ 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

little chick saver you ever used, your

. money will be instantly refunded. ‘

culls at the market price. When the

farmer agrees the fakers who seem to

have a. pretty‘good idea of the culling

business, make it a point to select the

best layers for themselves and leave

the culls on the farm. As a result of

the swindle one woman lost eighty of

her best birds and those left behind

are not laying. A more observing

neighbor noted that the fakers were

'picking his best layers and putting

them into the. cull crate, stopped the

game. Our advice is to ask the coun-

ty agent. '





STAN DARD-BRED H ENS LAY

MOST.





 





HE Vstandard~bred hens lay more





poultry breeders have selected their

stock for high egg production over a

long period of time. This has devel-

oped strains that have the ability to

lay a good many eggs. At the Con-

necticut egg-laying contest 1,000 stand-

ard-bred pullets averaged 162 eggs per

year, while at New Jersey the record

was 161.cggs for each pullet. Mongrel

flocks usually produce an average 0f





hen.



The Kansas Agricultural College has

completed an interesting breeding ex-

periment. Common mongrel hens were

bred to standard-bred males of good

laying stock. The mongrel héns in

one pen produced an average of 104

eggs in a. year. Their daughters from

a standard-bred Barred Rock male,

produced 134 eggs. The second gen-

eration produced 165 eggs and the

third 207 eggs.



Another pen where White Leghorn

cockerels were used on mongrel hens

the results were even more pronounc-

ed. In this case the egg production

was increased from seventy-four to 198

eggs for each hen ‘in just three years.





WORMS IN POULTRY.





 





I have been having the long and

short worm in my flock ‘of chickens,

but seemed to have it cured, but the

treatment is expensive. I wondered if

you could advise something togive

that would be a preventative. Is there

anything I could give young chicks to

prevent the same trouble ?—Mrs. J. W.





Worms can be removed from poultry

by using tobacco stems at the rate of

a. pound of finely ground stems to each

100 hens.’ Steep the stems for a. cou-

ple of hours after just covering them

with water. Add the mixture to about

four quarts of mash. Keep the birds

hungry during the day and give the

dose of tobacco mash about three





o’clock in the afternobn. Two hours





later give about a pound of epsom salts

dissolved with water and mixed with





pelled on the droppingboards where,

they can be destroyed rather than

spread over the range.



Worms can largely be prevented by

keeping the range free from over-

crowding and feeding the birds 3. bal.‘

anced ration so they will be vigorous

and less subject to attacks from para-

sites. Stagnant‘ ponds on, the range

seem to increase parasites. A well-

drained range disinfected by sunshine

is a help in preventing worms in-



poultry. ' . .

- CHICKS DIE IN SHELL.





 





We have set about 630 eggs but only

300 hatched. The eggs are fertile, but

the shell cracks off and leaves the

skin on that should come off with it,





and the skin dries and seems so tough '





that the chicks can not break through

Could you tell us What the trouble

is?——D. C.



When the membrane beneath the





shell dries down‘so the chick cannot

emerge it usually means that the mois-

ture conditions have not been right. If

you are hatching with hens try placing

a moist sod in the bottom of each nest

box. It will usually furnish enough

.moisture to enable the chicks to hatch.

\Vhen hatching with incubators we

soak woolen cloths in very hot water





and apply them to the' eggs on the‘

Then the cloths-

will be found dry and the moisture

will seem to have entered the shells

and the egg chamber. Then close the

incubator and do not open again until

the hatching is entirely over.



Sometimes chicks .die in the shell

due to a weakness of the germ. A few

might die in the shell even if the re-

mainder of the eggs produced a satis-

factory number of chicks. Overheat-

ing in the incubator might cause the

trouble. The air might be too dry in

the room where the machine is op-

erated.





SEGON D-HAN o INcU BATORS.





Please give me a little information

on how to' operate an incubator. I

bought a second-hand one. in good or-





’der yet, and I. know how to operate» it,

If you buy a second hand incubator





it pays to obtain the directions of the

obtained from the previous owner of





the machine, I should write to the





manufacturer.' I believe it isito. the

MUC’H OL‘Eo USED. “





 





OVER in Wisconsin the source ‘of



much of our first knowledge of

things on dairying, a survey of coun-

try stores has been made in one coun-

ty to determine the quantity of oleo

sold. From. this survey and others

conducted in the city stores it was

found that there existed very little dif-

ference in the percentage of oleo and

butter purchased in country stores and

city stores. Farmers who are endeav-

oring to make a living from the dairy





of an inferior product which‘is manu-

factured and sold by their competitors.

They buy oleo because it is cheaper

and then complain that they do not get

enough for their butter-fat.





If the rural people alone would use

milk and its products in normal quan-

tities instead of takingeubstitutes', the

increased demand would be sufficient

to place the dairy industry back in the

list of profitable businesses. If in ad-

dition to this they could get together

and advertise the value of dairy prod-

ucts as human diet in the cities then it

would be possible for the dairyman to

lift up his head and feel once more

like a. man among men.





 





FIRST HONoRs TO PERRY HICKS.





 





COMPARISON of the leading an-



imals in the production of milk

and butter-fat in the various cow-test-

ing associations of Michigan shows

that the honor goes to Perry Hicks, of

Wayne county, for the best herd. He

has six registered Holstein cows that

gave an average of 1,603 pounds of

milk during the month and an average

of 61.2 pounds of butter-fat. Second

honors go to A. C. Reek, of Lapeer

county, with a herd. of ten registered

Holsteins, which produced an average

of 1,228 pounds of milk and 51.07





of H. B. McCurray. of Kalamazoo coun-

ty, produced more milk than the herd

of Mr. Reek, but less butter-fat. His

eight registered Holsteins produced

1,446 pounds of milk and fifty pounds

of butter- fat.

A LOST OPPORITUNITY.





 





_E.XTENSION specialists -in dairying,-

‘Messrs. Waldron and Baltzer, have

noted in their rounds that the counties

where "tuberculosis has been cleaned

up are experiepcing an unusual de-

mand for good dairy cattle by buyers

from different sections of the country.

In some of these counties, however,

little attention has been given to t'eth

building up of registered herds of

quality. These buyers are, therefore

unable to satisfy their wants and are

obliged to go elsewhere for their sup-

plies. It will probably take the? breed-

DESTROY FLY-BREEDING PLACES.





' GREAT deal can be done justs now

to réduce the number of flies that

will breed on the premises during the

coming season. A general clean-up

will be necessary. Heaps of manure

and places where filth has accumulat-

ed during the winter months should be

thoroughly cleaned up so that flies will

be unable to use it for propagating

their young. ' .

Worms.——Have a colt that is wormy.

Also have cow that urinates too often,

especially for a few weeks after she

bicarbonate of soda in each feed.

Stifle Lamenesa—I have a cow that

suffered from dislocation of stifle two

months ago; she was down six weeks,

now in sling, but leg is badly drawn

up. She is due to come fresh in April.

L. J. 0., Indian River, Mich—Perhaps

the leg was fractured, but if the stifle

bone is out of socket, she will not re-

cover. it has been out too long. Paint

the joint with tincture of iodine three

”times a week.



Swamp FeveM-lnfeetious Anemia.—

I have an eight-year-old mare, also a

four-year-old, both unable to do any

work for the past five weeks. When

turned out they stagger and almost

fall down, but they eat every bit of

feed they can get hold of, but are

thin in flesh and failing. Our veter-

inarian is at a loss to know what ails

.these mares. J. F., Newberry. Mich.

-——I am inclined to believe you have

two cases of what is commonly called

swamp fever. Infectious anemia is due

to a fllterable virus which cannot be

demonstrated by straining methods

nor by cultivation. The virus is con-

tained in the blood. urine, and feces of

both clinical cases of the disease and

apparently healthy horses. It is prob-

able that the feces are made infectious

when urine is mixed with them. The

disease does 'not ’seem to be contagious

or directly communicable. A medical

treatment is without avail. Absolute

rest and very intensive feeding will, of

course, prolong life and cause improve-

ment in many cases. By giving Fowl-

er’s solution of arsenic in half-ounce

doSes three or four timesa day for

five or six weeks. it might help them.

FEEDS





Feed .markets are quiet with' both

domestic and export'demand dull. The

flour mills are operating at only a

small per cent of capacity and are be-'

hind ‘on orders for wheat feeds but

jobbers are selling freely although at

prices about $3 higher than at the bot-

tom of the break a’few weeks ago. Oil

meals are neglected but prices show





little change.

HAY





The hay market continues firm due

to lightweceipts and moderate local

demand coupled with shipping orders

at some points, especially in the north-

west. Recei‘pts are increasing at some

points.‘ Legume hays are slightly less

active as these are most affectedby

the opening of the pasture season. The

cold weather is delaying the first cut-

ting 'of alfalfa. Heavy spring rains

point to a rather large hay crop and

good pastures.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg prices have been about as sta-

ble for several weeks as this. market

ever is. Receipts during the first and

second weeks in April were of record

size at the five leading cities, but the

third week in the month showed a

smalldecline and it is probable that

the high point of the spring period of

heavy production has been passed.

Since receipts will be large enough to

furnish a surplusover immediate con-

sumptive needs to go into cold storage

for three months yet, prices will not

make much headway for a while' but a

slight upward trend is probable. Re-

ceipts of dressed poultry have been

falling off but they usually begin to

BUTTER





Butter markets scored fractional ad-

vances again last week, due primarily,

to the breadth of consumptive demand.

The increase in receipts over the win-

ter level has not been as rapid as ex-

pected and trade sentiment has been

affected more or less by this fact. Pro-

duction is very large, however, and re-

ceipts of butterat the leading markets

for weeks have been running ahead of

the supply -during the corresponding

weeks in each of the three preceding

years.,Nevertheless withdrawals from

cold storage have exceeded the aver-

age. Usually receipts become heavy

enough by the second or third week in

May to necessitate placing some but-

ter in cold storage. If events 'follow

the normal course, a'readjustment in

prices to a storing basis by that time

will be natural. The market is highly

sensitive and dealers on distributing





 





ruary. A profound change in the atti-

tude of foreign buyershas been the

most important element in the upturn.

No concern is being shown at present

over the quantity of wheat afloat, as

importing countriesare known to need

ing countries have fallen off and the/

POTATOES



The movement of potatoes from the

producing states is decreasing but it

‘still maintains a big lead over the cor-

responding period a year ago. Maine

'and_Minnesota are the biggest'ship—

pers, the excess from Maine alone ac-

counting for most of the increase over

last. year. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,

Long Island, New Jersey and the corn

belt states are falling behind last year

-so that the receipts are being placed

without such a‘drastic declinerin pric-

es as that which. occurred last spring.

New potatoes now compose about— 15

per cent of the supply. Prices upon

old stock f. o. b. northern shipping

kets quoted at $1.40@1.90-

The supply of vegetables on .the

Grand Rapidsmarket this week was

spring-grown offerings eased slightly.

Green'onions declined five cents per

bunch; hothouse leaf lettuce dipped to

12c a pound; spinach ranged from $2

@225 a bushel. Rhubarb held steady

at 100 a pound. Poultry kceipts have

fallen ofl sharply and givenastronger

On this market there is an active

CHEESE. _





Cheese prices at country markets

were'lowered again last week and the

prices in distributing marketsgradu-

ally declining in an orderly manner.

Receipts are above the average for the

season of the» year. and cold storage

operators have not yet entered the

market. Trade is .most active~ on

twins, ‘longhorns and single daisies.

Young Americas are bringing more

than other styles although it is not so

long ago that five-pound loaf cheese

was. expected to supplant this style.

Held cheese remains scarce and is

bringing a premium ranging from one

to eight centsa pound, depending up

on quality and length of cure.

the potato thatcannot trace its pedi-

l'_spec_t', will find scant sympathy from

growers in'this state.





It all came about at a recent meet-





. ingof the executive board of the Mich-





igan ‘Potato Producers’ _ Association, ,in

Cadillac. The board members spoke

slightingly of the common, ordinary

breed of potato and in the same breath‘

sentenced it to oblivion. From now

on class,‘and class alone, is to count.



The spud experts did not stop there.

In addition to demands for. a regis-





‘ tered genealogy the men who hold the





destinies of the dinner table in their

hands, decided that all seed potatoes,

to be certified‘in Michigan, must be

free from disease. So the society spud

in future will wave a health certificate

before the eyes of his less fortunate

brothers, further degrading the latter.

the .quality of seed potatoes, and the

orrejects. This "record is. made even

more .s’ignigcant, says Don Williams,

manager of the pool, by the fact that

wo'ol coming into the Lansing Iware-

»house from all sections of the state is

showing that same remarkably low

per cent of reject wool as compared

to the pooling year of 1920 and that of

1921, ,when a considerable improve-

ment was noted over 1920. This year

the results of the local grading cam-

paign of 1921 are becoming apparent.

Early wool poolers put about 7,000

pounds of wool into the‘1922 pool at

both Charlotte and St. Johns. Bad

roads‘and cold rainy weather kept the

distant wool poolers at home until the

next pooling date, it was said. At the

1922 local pooling points ,the educa-

tional features of the 1921 pool are be-

ing repeated and the plan seems to be

as popular as ever, according to state-

ments made by the wool poolers.





_ The. bureau is making a forty per

cent advance on the current value of

the wool'rat time of pooling, issuing a

warehouse receipt showing by grades

the weight of wool pooled and provid-

ing for final settlement when the 1922

pool is closed out. Three grading





teams will take the field May I, begin- ~





ning a pooling campaign which will

cover the state and will touch ’from

seventy-five to 100 local pooling points.

In 1921 about 2,785,000 pounds of wool

were pooled.



The farm bureau’s wool pool’s local

grading campaign is to begin in the

southern part of the state and will

work north. Pooling points for the

week of May 1 are:





May 1.—Adrian, Eaton Rapids.



May 2.——~Adrian, Chelsea, Mulliken.



May 3.-—-Tecumseh, Dexter, Belle-

vue.



May 4.—Onsted, Saline, Charlotte.~



May 5.-—-Addison, Saline, Nashville.

While-the recent demand for wool

has been rather limited in volume, the

foreign markets, both primary and sec-

ondary, are very firm with a tendency

upward, according to advices to the

farm bureau wool department. The

American Woolen ,Mills recently an-

nounced an increase of ten to forty-five

cents a yard in woolen cloths, stating

that the action .was’ taken because of

the increased cost of raw material and

the well-sold-up condition of its various

lines. President Wool, of that com-

pany, said that he doubted if piece





, ‘Of wholesale prices issued by the goods would be bought again for years





bureau of labor statistics, quotations

on farm products during March were





slightly higher than in March, 1921,





while all other groups of conimodities

were lower this year than they were

a year ago. This advantage to the

farmer is partly offset by a decline

during the year of eight per cent in

prices in the “foods" group which in-

cludes “many farm products such as

butter, eggs, potatoes and apples Which

are sold to the consumer" without an

intervening process of manufacture.





The biggest declines in other groups





occurred in fuel and‘ lighting/metals

and metal products, and house furnish-

ing goods. The following table gives

the actual index numbers. using the

1913 price level as 100: »

Housefurnishing goods... 213 275

Miscellaneous ......... 153 167

All commodities 152 162





March prices upon farm products

compared with those in February, 1922,

were slightly higher while the foods

group was unchanged. Most of the

others showed little or no change and

the general average for all commodi-

ties was only 0.6 per cent higher than

in February. -



The price index numbers show that

there is still a marked lack of adjust-

ment between the different groups.

Metals and 'metal products are four-

teen per cent, and farm products are

twenty-eight per cent higher than in

1913. On the other hand,-housefur—

nishing goods are'113 per Cent, and





'building materials 102 per cent higher





than .in the last pro-war year.





 





MlCHlGAN’S i922 WOOL POOL.





 





RECORDS for ‘Michigan wool pool-

ing were established at Charlotte

and St. Johns last week when at spe-

cial local pooling dates precedingthe





opening May 1 of. the State Farm Bu~





reau’s 1922 wool pooling campaign,

less than. five per cent of the wool





 





at prices that have prevailed of late.

He further predicted that the country

is on the ever of another prosperous

period.





WOOL

Mills began to buy wool freely again

last week. The American Woolen Co.

was said to be a heavy purchaser of

three-eighths 'and quarter-blood wools

at both Boston and Philadelphia and

the head of this company predicts

much higher prices for ~cloth as well

.as wool. Other mills also are taking

m‘ore interest, indicating that manu-

facturers’ stocks are not large. Deal-

ers have been buying and new sales of

Arizona wool were reported. Prices

were steady but the renewal of activ-

‘ ity forecasts higher prices later on.

Foreign wool auctions are strong and

.yarn mills in Bradford, England, re-

fuse to. sell for delivery earlier than

August. The goods market has been

steady with 'woolens receiving more

. attention than worsteds.
