' CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





' As a leader, truth is stronger than

friction.





The “I” in wisdom reminds us that

we must use our eyes in getting it.





“ The man who arrives is the man

who seeks after ideals.





Love is the great unifying force in

all worth-while social movements.





We shall be able to hear one anoth-

er’s burdens only as we have trained

and fitted ourselves to bear our own.





Mr. Potter said, “Every practicing

lawyer is familiar with the suspicion

with which courts are regarded.” We

would say vice versa.





HE idea of grow-

ing many crops





1318‘: One on a single farm has

D’sadvan" been recently given

taqe much thoughtful con-





sideration. The fact

is that farmers who follow this type of

farming ar sing through the finan-

‘ cial depressr with less trouble than

are the one-or—two—crop farmers. This

has given emphasis to the advantages

of the system so commonly followed

here in Michigan.



These advantages are several. A

careful study of statistics shows that

the acre yields of the great majority

of crops are highest. in the diversified

farming districts. Weeds,-insects and

diseases are more easily kept in con-

trol where the farmer has a wide rota-

tion to follow. Labor is better distrib-

uted. The farm income averages larg-

er and is distributed more evenly

throughout the year.‘ Other good rea-

sons, such as a. broader home market,

can be given for following diversifica—

tion.



But there is one disadvantage which

should not be overlooked. To fit to-

gether into a. satisfactory working unit

a system providing for the growing

of a wide variety of crops and differ-

ent kinds of live stock requires more

than the usual amount of, brains and

business acumen than is needed to

successfully work out plans for the

production of only a few products.

,«GoOd farm management is altogether a

bigger jobon a ten~crop farm than on

one growing three crops. There are

:nore things to keep in place, and the

.lindjustment of a single one of these

may mean the entire rearrangement of

thewhole crop schedule.



On the other hand, the man who is





.some constructive proposition.

degree of ‘ success not readily attain-

able elsewhere in the mural

realm.





N nature, the sur-

vival ol’ the fittest





Tiltfur- is the rule, but too

”ma of often we fail to realize

that this struggle for





the Fittest

' ' existence also applies

to us and we sit idly.by to become

victims of circumstances which we

could easily overcome if we tried. _.



Even in these days of peace and

cooperation, it is the constructive

fighter who wins. The man who fights

to do better than his neighbor in grow-

ing crops, or strenuously endeavors to

put across a laudable project of any

kind, is usually the one who gets there.

And in getting there he benefits pos-

terity as well as himself.



The trouble with most of us is that

we have subdued our primeval fighting

spirit instead of putting it to work on

’ Many

of us just half try and when we fail

we blame circumstances instead of

ourselves.



It doesn’t pay to be a quitter or even

a half-tryer.





TEACHER, who





was especially



H “rd to qualified by training

Under- a nd natural attain-

stand ments, to fill the po—





sition as head of the



commercial department of a certain

high school, was transferred to the de—

partment of mathematics. Why this

was done no one seemed to under-

stand. From a close knowledge of the

situation, we are sure that by the

change the scholars suffered, the gen-

eral school organization was disturbed

and the taxpayers got less for their

money than would have been the case

had the former relationship continued.

In about the same way we are com-

pelled ‘to look upon ‘ the proposed

change of some of the bureaus now in

the department of agriculture to other





‘departments of the government. If





these bureaus are transferred from

the department of agriculture where

they have developed under leadership

of long training to departments lacking

this leadership, it would be natural to

conclude that the work cannot be done

so well, the whole government organi-

zation will have to be reorganized and,

therefore, public funds will be spent

less efficiently.





HE ability of any

member of the





FLet fishing fraternity ofa

acts community is cau-

Ta’k tiously, but naturally,

number and size of fish which the

member has actually caught. In rep-

utable communities this number is

carefully established by reliable Wit-

nesses. But once fixed, the definite in-

formation is invaluable to the average

person in meeting the elaborated state-

ments of those who are strong on talk,

but short on angling. So with busi-

ness. We like facts, something which

gives us a square look at” things as

they are.



The farmer. is anxious to get this

square look at business. The market

for his products is going to depend to

no small degree upon general prosper-

ity. To know definitely whether or not

the things we hear about the upward.

trend of business, are true, is valuable

to the man who grows things. x



In this respect data on the loadings

of railway cars will be eagerly read...

With the exception of coal, where the

number of cars filled is about one- -half

of the normal amount due‘ to the gen-

eral strike of miners, a record-break,

ing number of cars of other commodi?

ties are now being loaded. Here are





 





cars and. loaded. For the can: pe-





riod in 1920 the number, was 2.675, 832.‘





For 1921' they. aggregated 2.349.883,

while for 1922 the total reached the

new high mark of 2, 711,611.



Someone has made the observation

that these figures are highly signifi-

cant as regards the volume of busi-

ness that is now being done in the





country.





HERE is more

good agricultural

land in Michigan than

most people realize,

and some poor land

that is not suited to

the business of farming. For years

strips of this poor land have been used

by unscrupulous men to rob their vic-

tims. Some deals which have been

pulled off in the name of land sales are

sufficient to cause any ordinary red-

blooded man to go out and raise a mob

for meting out the type of justice that

is too frequently doled out after sun-

down in some of our southern states.

We must acknowledge that there has

been quite a little improvement in this

line of business in recent years. A

larger number of reliable real estate





H elp for

the H ome-

seeker





men have come into the field. .How-g





ever, there is still too much of this

"putting it over" by “high” class meth-

ods.

to kndw that the new Department of

Agriculture at Lansing is taking a

hand in straightening out this class

of real estate business. A letter to, that

department from a prospective buyer

of a. farm in one of our northern coun-

ties asks if the real estate man’s

claims regarding a certain description

of land were true to fact. The depart-

ment had data at hand which showed

that practically (none of the statements

were true, and informed the party that

such was the case. By this means the

intended victim was saved from finan-

cial loss and perhaps ruin.



In these days farming is hard

enough under the most favorable cir-

cumstances. We want the men who

come here to join in the farming busi-

ness of the state to send back good re-

ports. .This they will do if they are

treated squarely. In all too many in-

stances this has not been done and a

few unscrupulous socalled real estate

men are the offenders. Our northern

Michigan correspondent suggests as a.

remedy that the licensing of these men

should be placed with the Department

of Agriculture where information to

check up deals is or can be made avail«

able. Whether this be advisable or

not is a matterfor the legislature, but

the department is now in a position to

render to newcomers a real service in

furnishing reliable information on the

actual farming possibilities of a defi—

nite piece of property.

Hiand L0





ELL, what you call in high-class



languige, my tutor came and

gave me my educashun in Oughto en-

gineerin’. He come ’cause I was ruin-

in’ the reputash-un of his veracity. (I

heard that word used the other day,.so

I thought I would use it to see how it

worked).



The first thing my tutor told me was

that. the Oughto ain’t got no continuer,

which was my conclushions after what

you call numerous investigashuns.



'1‘ h e n h e says,

‘ “This is hi and

this is 10.” And

I says, “Where's

the Jack and the

.game?” He laffed,





 





polite-like, a n (1

says, “You ain’t

playin' c a r d s





now, you’re driv-

in’ cars.” Then

he says, “This is newtral,” which is

where- the car is when it ain’t doin’

nothin’. Which makes me think my

Oughto was newtralizing’ itself too

much when it was standing in the

barn.



“Now,” he says, “push your foot on

that, and we’ll start,” which we did.

Well, after we got started fine, he says,

“Put her in, Hy. Put her in, Hy, I

say!” Well, I looked around consid-

erable and saw nothin’ to put inand

no place to put it, so I took my foot

off the dingus, intendin’ to quit, and

the darn thing went fastern’ ever.



Well, ‘we were headin’ right for de-

strucshun ’cause I forgot all about us-

in’ my hands, sayin' nothin’ about my

head. But he used both of his and

saved my life, so I like him better

than I did.



This Oughto drivin’ is what you call

complicated. To a intelligent horse,

all you gotta' do is to say “Gee and

Haw.” But the Oughto don’t under-

stand that languige, so your mouth

ain’t got nothin’ to do with it. In fact,

I think it works a lot better when you

keep still. _But you gotta use your feet

and hands fast and powerfully right,

otherwise you come to what you call a

conclushun.



After my first lesson I felt like a

wrestler after a good fight. But the

next time I was sure that hi and lo

ain't got nothin’ to do with the top/and

bottom of the car, and I learnt to make

my hands and feet work at the dame

time. I just got so glad when I made

it work," I got cuts. the car and hol.

lered,



“Hi-lee, Hi-lo, .



I kin make her go.





It’s fun and then some

’Cause I kin also make her come. ”





Drivln’ cars is sure a accomphsh—





 





~munt and I am proud of it.

OME hundred and twenty years

ago when corn prices in England

began to recede from the high

level reached during the Napoleonic

wars the agricultural interests of the

country set up an agitation for high

duties. Committees were appointed in

public

took part in the argument. ,

One party argued that high prices

coming from high duties on'corn would

cause over-production and be only





temporary. The other croWd, the ag





ricultural interests, took no stock in

this argument. Their idea was that if

corn prices fell, poor lands which had

been brought under cultivation during

the war at great expense would be

abandoned. ‘ Thus was unearthed the

doctrine of diminishing returns which

is a solemn warning against working

too .much on a little three-cornered

corn field.



It is a well recdgnized fact that farm

incomes in the United States during

the last two years have been far below

normal. Last year in the state of





Michigan, for instance, where the bulk -





of farm incomes are from dairy and

poultry products, potatoes, beans and

fruit, all of which were relatively high-

er in price than the corn, hogs, steers

and wheat that are staples of the cen-

tral states, few farmers prospered;



The average of estimates of farm

incomes made last year (1921) by 465

farmers in fifteen counties of Michigan

Were as follows:



Gross income per farm, $1, 800; ex-

pense per farm, $1, 200; interest on in-

vestment, four and one-half per cent;

labor income, none; number of farms,

I465.



The farmers were assisted in mak-





pla'nts to bear. It seems about as



natural for the peach tree to over-

bear; and, of course, the remedy lies

in thinning. But there seems to be a

very general neglect in doing this;

Most growers admit that peach trees

should be thinned and agree that it is

a profitable practice, yet there seems

tobe a Widespreadureluctance to un-

dertake it. The principle of thinning,

especially of peaches, is so well estab-

lished as scarcely to need comment or

explanation. Yet at this time, perhaps

'a few remarks would not be amiss in





IT is a natural process for all fruit-





_assisting the peach orchardist with





this very important problem.



As is generally known, most fruit

trees under favorable conditions set

much more fruit than they can possi-

bly develop to a standard which the

markets of today‘demand. It is inher-

ent in the tree to produce as many

fruits as it can, with each seed pos-

sessing the potential possibility of a.

new tree. The grower, too, desires as

many fruits as possible.‘But they must

be up to standard. in seasons of plen-

tiful production there is but little sale

for undersized peaches.



Thinned fruit is larger, and usually

higher colored and better flavored

than that from trees allowed to ma»-

ture the whole of an entirely tob large

setting. Not only are the single fruits





‘ larger, but the production per tree has

often been shown to be much greater.,

,il‘hinnlng does much‘_to prevent the

.~ breaking of branches due to overload-

ing though this must not be consider





one " tor, :1 practice. It

ing these estimates by an economist

Department of Agriculture and the

Michigan Agricultural College.



Incomes from fifty-two farms on‘

which cost accounts were kept last

year (1921, are as follows:



Gross income per farm, $1,800; ex-

pense per farm, $1,525; interest on

investment, two and one-half per cent;

labor income, none; number of farms,

fifty-two.



The fact that history has repeated





itself in, bringing hard times after a ‘





great war is no reason to forget. the

timehonore‘d epigram:‘ “Faint heart

never won fair maiden.” It has ap-

plied in 'these trying times equally well

and all the rest.





The .law of diminishing returns is

no argument against industry and effi-

ciency in farming. Another doctrine

almost as old, more in evidence on

American farms and less pessimistic

in tone, is the so—called law of decreas-

ing costs.



“In some 1ndustr1es ’1 says Prof. R.

T. Ely, one of the foremost agricul-

tural economists of the present day,

“an increase in' production will often

bring forces into operation that will

result in smaller expenses of produc-

This is the

law of decreasing costs or decreasing

expenses, as it is sometimes called. It

\





tested- by insects and fungous diseases.



Furthermore, when practiced year

after year, thinning causes the tree to

bear more regularly, and a fair setting

is secured each year instead of an

enormous setting followed by two or

three years in which there is none at

all. On this point Professor L. H. Bail-

ey says, “In those regions in which cer-

tain fruits are systematically thinned

the crop is obtained with greater uni-

formity every year. This is especially

true of peaches.” -



But aside from increasing size and

quality in the fruit, the most convinc-

ing reason for thinning is that it main~

tains the vigor of the tree. Maturing





 





 





of the pits exhausts the vitality of: the

tree, and ripening in excess of a good

crop is a useless strain upon it. Most

of the peach is water, which makes

but little demand on this vitality. And

the grower should keep in mind that

it is the fleshy part of the fruit and

not the stone which the consumer de-

sires and pays for. Since the amount

of food and water available for the

flesh of the fruit is definitely limited,

the value of putting it on a moderate

number of pits to make into highly

perfected fruit, rather than to distrlb~

ute the quantity upon a great number

of pits is readily seen. The grower

will then have the satisfaction of go—

applies as well to the business or

taming as to that of manufacturing



or of trade. Thousands of farm man—

agement records taken from farms in

every state in the Union show the sub-' ,-

tle influences of this law of decreas-





ing costs in affecting labor income. 0‘,





Below is a summary of cost records

from a thousand Michigan farms such

as any traveler may see from a train

window. It shows that a large volume

of sales means a decrease in unit costs

and an increase in the rewards which

go to skilled farm managers.

Expenses include current wages for

labor of all members of the family oth—

er than the farmer himself.



The table suggests, first, that in

farming as in manufacturing there are

more or less constant overhead costs

which must be met before a margin of

profit may exist; and, second, that

farm costs do not increase in propor-

tion as the volume of sales increases.



With these facts in mind many

young men from agricultural colleges

who may at one time have been dis-

couraged by the idea that increased

production meant inevitably less price

and no profit are starting with renew-

ed vim, determination and energy to ,

make the old farm pay.





ing to market with a superior product.

Though perhaps not fully realized,

there is no operation in the produc-

tion of peaches which requires keener

judgment than that of thinning. There .

are many things to be considered in

securing the best results. ’





First of these is the time of thin-

ning. It should be delayed until the

fruit is the size of the end of one’s

thumb. By this time the “June drop,”

during which the imperfectly fertiliz-

ed and other weakly developed fruits

drop off, is over. It is important to

thin before the pits have begun to

harden and to sap the vigor of the

tree. In the north, thinning may usu-

ally be commenced by the middle of

June and continued into July.





All diseased, “stung,” and deformed

peaches should be taken off first. Pref-





erence also should be given to the "1

peach on the upper side of the- limb





Where it Will obtain more sunlight. As ' A C





a general rule, the distance between'

those that are left should be kept as

uniform as possible. From four to six-

inches on the bearing wood is usually ’1

recommended. '





Severity of thinning, however, is de-

pendent on such conditiOns as the vig-~

or of the tree, the fertility, and espe—

cially the moisture content of the soil,

and the variety. A young and vigor-

ous tree, growing under ftirorable cul-

tural conditions, will naturally be abl

to mature a greater number of pea

es than an old tree, or one growing on

a thin soil or in an especially

growing season. Of course, t '

MICHIGAN’S FIRST POULTRY

TOUR.





 





IT was very appropriate that Michi-





gan’s first poultry tour should occur\





' in Ottawa county, as that county con-

tains one of the largest hatching cen-

ters in the county.



This one-day- tour was arranged on

a regular-time schedule, starting at

Coopersville at 7:00 a. m., June 8, and

included stops at many of the large

hatcheries which are making Michigan

famous as a chick hatching state. At

these places, the incubator cellars

where thousands of eggs were in incu-

bation, the brooder houses, poultry

houses, and the high quality stock

were inspected, after which talks and

demonstrations were given by Profes-

sors E. C. Foreman, C. M. Ferguson,

H. J. Stafseth, and H. M. Eliot, of

M. A. C.



There is no doubt but what this day

was a source of inspiration and edu-

cation and an encourager of enthusi-

asm of better poultry to the several

hundred people who attended. It is

another indication that the rural auto

tour is the coming thing.



‘The tour was suggested by the

MONEY MORE PLENTIFUL.





 





A STATEMENT by the Federal Re-





serve Board reports that money

is plentiful and easy to obtain on good

' security. In fact, billions of dollars of

"unused credit are now in the banks

awaiting calls for use. The Farm

poan Board’s offering of $75,000,000 of

four and a half per cent tax-free bonds

were over-subscribed when offered, and

a few days later another issue of $42,-

000,000 was put on the market and

readily taken.





ALCONA ORCHARDISTS PLAN OR-

GANIZATION.





 





LCONA county farmers who have



apple orchards, met on May 19,

with Harrisville business men to con-

sider plans for putting their orchards

on a better paying basis, through some

business organization which will pro-

vide a selling agency and also secure

better production and packing facil-

ities.



W. C. Chappele presided at the

meeting, and T. F. Marston, of Bay

City, explained at some length what

has been accomplished by similar or-

ganizations elsewhere, especially in

the western states.



This address was followed by a prac-

tical talk by W. C. Cribbs, orchard

expert of the Michigan Agricultural

College, on the care of orchards and

the increased returns which could be

secured from proper spraying picking

and grading of the fruit. J. H. Brown,

.of Battle Creek, told what the busi.

‘ness men and farmers of his county

have accomplished by a community

organization which brings the city and

gang closer together and frequently





helps sclve problems common to'both.



Before the meeting closed temporary

officers and a committee of five mem-

bers was appointed to make plans for

a permanent association—M.





 





BREEDERS AND RAILROADS PRO-

MOTE BETTER STOCK.‘





 





SOMEWHAT unusual piece of co~

operative effort was initiated last

week when the Michigan Central Rail-

road Company moved a carload of

young pure-bred bulls into northern

Michigan and distributed them among





‘the farmers along the Mackinaw di-





vision. These animals were sold to

the railroad for a very nominal sum

of money by several far-sighted and

public-spirited breeders of pure-bred

cattle in southern Michigan.



For several years past this road

through its agricultural department,

has been loaning well-bred bulls to

worthy farmers in this territory with-

out any charges, permitting each farm-

er to have the services of the animal

two years and then moving him to

some other community. This week's

shipment is only a continuation of this

effort toward liVe stock improvement

except that the breeders who have

raised

closely identified with the work, thus

connecting up their advertising work

with the development of the industry.

They believe that a good bull placed

in a developing community constitutes

the best kind of constructive advertis-

ing, while railroad development forces

’know that such an animal is one of

the biggest factors in the building up

of a prosperous community. In the

meantime, our farmers in northern

Michigan have the services of a well-

bred bull at a very low cost.





these animals will be more,





 





Although breeders of all breeds are

invited to take part in this cooperative

effort toward the development of a

great country and the advertising of

their respective breeds, only Holsteins

and Guernseys were represented in

this carload. Among the prominent

breeders who contributed animals to

this shipment are Corey J. Spencer, of

Jackson; John Endicott, of Birming-

ham, and W. J. Brown, of Detroit.





 





PROTEOTS FARM ERS AGAINST

PROSECUTION.





 





SINCE the Capper-Volstead law went

into effect prosecutions of farmers

for attempting to market their prod-

ucts cooperatively, under alleged vio-

lations of the antitrust laws, have

practically ceased. Farm organization

Washington representatives say that

there has been no new prosecutions

begun and old cases against coopera-

tive marketing associations have been

dropped. Now, if farmers’ marketing

projects fail it will be due either to

mismanagement or impracticable

methods used in conducting the busi;

ness.





 





FERTILIZERS LESS EXPENSIVE.





 





AN investigation by the Geneva Ex-

periment Station reveals the fact

that there is a decided trend toward

pre-war prices in the case of mixed

fertilizers and also with most fertiliz-

ing materials, such as nitrate of soda,

acid phosphate, potash, etc. For ex-‘

ample, the retail price of one pound of

nitrogen in nitrate of soda was 17. 8

cents in 1914. In 1919 the price of this

material reached a maximum of 38.3

cents per pound. In 1920 the price

dropped to 29.4 cents and in 1921 to

UPHOLDS MARKETING LAW.





 





N a letter to Senator Capper, Ber-



tnard H. Baruch takes issue with

Judge Gary, chairman of the United

States Steel Corporation, in. regard to

the law legalizing cooperative markets

ing. Mr. Baruch says that price-fixing

will not result, neither will the con-

sumers be hurt by such legislation. “I

gather that Judge Gary is of the opin-

ion that legislation authorizing farm-

ers to cooperate in marketing their

products confers privileges on them

that are denied to other producers, and

this results in inequality," says Mr.

Baruch. “It does no more, however,"

he adds, “than attempt to put six mil-

lions of scattered and competitively





selling farmers on an equal footing.





with industry generally."





AMERICA’S BIG 'ECONOMIC PROB-

LEM.

tural Inquiry is convinced that the

mission has concluded that only

through its correct solution can there

be an equitable adjustment of the re-

lations of agriculture, industry, trans-

portation, labor, finance and commerce

as among themselves and as correlat-

ed with the public interests.





FRUIT MEN HAVE HARD TIME.





 





HE fruit growers of the Ohio Val-



ley are certainly having their trou-

bles with this season’s crop. First the

freezes killed a very'high percentage

of the blossoms. Then cloudy and

stormy weather at blossoming time

prepared the way for a heavy June

drop. It now appears that the fruit

growers of this. district are having





their troubles increased by the damp ‘





weather, increasing the seriousness of

fruit tree diseases. This situation

makes it more important for Michigan

growers to take every reasonable pre-

caution to save their fruit crop.





There can be little hope of full en-

joyment in those homes where one





member performs all the duties while .





the other assumes all the rights.

bout Ogemaw





Whit Ii Being Dane Agrzau/tumlly m One of Our [Vartfieaitem Cazmtzer i5 Told

By E. I. Leenéazm





AVING settled in my own mind

that ogemaw county has a most



_, promising agricultural future, I

decided to put in several days to learn





,if. possible, the truth about what has

already been accomplished there in a

- farming Way. I spent a large share of





my time with the county agricultural

agent, Mr. W. E. McCarthy. He is a

progressive young man, well acquaint-

ed with the needs of the county, and

with a well-defined constructive pro-

gram mapped out. Besides being a

graduate of the Michigan Agricultural

College, he has taught agriculture in

a high school and was born and raised





' on a farm.





With such a training and experience

supplemented by sound judgment on

his part, it is not to be wondered at

that his program is going ahead with-

out any serious drawbacks and the

beneficial effect of his efforts is appar-

ent throughout the country. “We are

advocating live stock and legumes as

the basis of our agriculture, with po-

tatoes coming into the rotation as a

cash crop,” he explained, “and noth-

ing but pedigreed seed is countenanc-

ed from clover to live stock, including

certified seed potatoes.” It is really

surprising how much has been accom-





‘plished along that line in the past two





years.

To a man with such a program it

must be a source of some satisfaction





'to notice that the acreage of alfalfa





increased fifty per cent last year and

now amounts to over one thousand





as a cash-crop, arguments and statis-

tics are superfluous for anyone who

has seen, the flourishing fields of

“spuds” and talked with the men who

are growing them. We stopped off ‘to

talk with Mr. J. B. Gray, who raises

a large number of potatoes every year.

His average yield for 1921 was 275

bushels, while~a year earlier one of his

fields averaged 375 bushels to the

aore. Although he has not yet found

it necessary to spray for blight, he has

kept the material on hand for the past

five years, thus proving that he is a

firm advocate of preparedness. What

he is doing with the potato crop is

being duplicated by many others in

Ogemaw and it could be made a very

valuable crop by almost all of the

farmers.



Mr. McCarthy is urging the produc-

tion of certified seed potatoes, and

rightly so, because there is no reason

why this county, together with several

other counties in northern Michigan,

should not compete most successfully

with Northern Maine and Wisconsin

for the seed potato business in the

central and southern states. This is

a growing business, with unlimited

possibilities. Large yields of potatoes

of excellent quality produced at a low

cost are in evidence all over the coun-

ty and constitute a fair indication of

the chances for future development.

The humble potato is no mean factor

in various stages of growth.





clover is also becoming very popular

and remunerative.



On every hand we see fields devoted

to these leguminous crops.



Mr. Clark U. Haire, one of the lead-

ing legume advocates near West

Branch, raises nothing but legumes,





_‘ except a few acres of rye as a nurse

, crop to the vetch. He raises soy- _

'beans, alfalfa and sweet clover in ms .





tations sufficient to feed a large herd





'of cattle and sells the rye and vetch





for cash. In 1920 he had a gross

income of $922 from eleven acres of

rye, and last year he harvested five

hundred bushels of rye and fifty bush-





,els of vetch. The present productivity





and state of fertility of this farm con-

stitutes the strongest kind of an argu-

ment for this legume basis which Mr.

McCarthy advocates. In the produc-





tion of field peas, there are only three





counties that have a larger acreage in

Michigan than Ogemaw county, but it

excels all of them in yields per acre,

thus again reflecting the efforts made

toward improved seed. ,



This predominance of legume crops





‘ ,means not only actual money to the

’7’ -- farmer, but it also indicates a conserv-





 





_,and increased fertilityvin the soil—





in the production of wealth for the

Ogemaw farmer, the total production

in 1920 being over 183,000 bushels.

Over one hundred cars were shipped

out last year.



, Many small fruits are being raised,

but apples are found on almost every

farm.‘ We called _on Mr. John Tolfree,

a banker, as well as a farmer, and

found that he had about twenty-five

acres of apple trees in bearing, mostly

young trees. This past year he ship-





‘ped over 2,500 bushels of choice fruit,





mostly Northern Spies, to all parts of

the United States and even some to

Europe. His quality is such that his

customers always come back and he

has no difficulty in finding a market

for his product. Besides Mr. Tolt’ree,

there are many more farmers who are

making it their business to raise ap-

ples for‘market.

Honey Production Profitable.



West of the city we found Mr. Frank

Stevens producing ' something still

more delicious than apples. He has

about seventy-five ‘colonies of bees

which are laboring for him every sun-

ny day; gathering the very best honey

that ever reaches the market. He is

planning on a big increase for next

year and maintains that this cOunty is





-ideally adapted- to honey ‘proddction.’

. The Basswood- trees, the raspberries,





growths of sweet clover, white clover,

and the buckwheat all furnish abund-

ant nectar for these industrious little

laborers. Manymther farmers are de-

voting most of their time to the gentle

art of separating the bees from their

surplus winter supplies and find it

very profitable. Over 16,000 pounds of

honey was produced during the past

Live Stock in Ogemaw County.



Another thing which surprised the

writer very much was the large num-

ber of pedigreed hogs found in this

county, so far removed from what we

consider the corn belt. On every hand

we found pigs with very aristocratic

lineages. Mr. Roy Gillis could not re-

frain from using superlatives when

talking about his Porand—Chinas and

we could hardly blame him after we

saw his herd. His boar is a son of

Demoines A. Wonder and Lady Jumbo

3rd. On the farm of Mr. Charles Post

we found Orange Fashion, sired by

Longboy and dropped by Miss Colum-

bia, a litter mate of Yankee and Pilot.



To any one familiar with pedigrees,

these names represent some of the





very best in the Poland-China world:





Mr. Post also had some young sows

that would be hard to beat in any

show'ring, thus giving him an excel-

lent foundation from Which to develop

a herd of hogs that will bring in big

returns. This demand for pedigreed

hogs of quality probably received its

first- impetus by means of. the Pig and

Calf Club Train which was operated

through this territory in 1917 by the

Michigan Agricultural College through





the cooperation of the Northeastern

Michigan Development Bureau, ’the

railroads, andvthe local business men.

At any rate, the pigs are “rooting out”





a great deal of money for their owners

and Mr. McCa’rthy and the rest of the'





leaders are doing all in their power to

increase the number.

Beef and Cream Are Sold.

To give the cattle situation in Oge-

maw county‘ a fair discussion in this





.short article is out of the question.





Beef and cream are the leading prod-

ucts coming from the farms and they

are indeed abundant. In 1920, over

$192,000 worth of cream was shipped

out of the county, besides what the 10-

cal creameries used, and in 1921 it

amounted to $267,000 worth. There are

at least 20,000 head of cattle, about

half of them dairy stock. The Holstein

breed seems to be the most popular

dairy breed and among the breeders

are Messrs. Cook, Carroll, Thomas,

Scribner, etc. M1. Scribner is one of

the first men to go into the pure—bred

business and still owns a large herd

of well-bred stock. Mr. Carroll has

recently” purchased a number of cows

that were raised on the farm of Hon.

D. D. Aitken. The Cook Ranch houses





probably the best herd of Holsteins





found in northern Michigan, with the

exception of two on the west coast.





Although the writer considers him-

self fairly familiar with the dairy

herds in the state, he was astonished

to learn that this herd tucked away in

Ogemaw county carried some of the

best blood-lines in the world—those of

Ormsby Korndyke Lad and May Echo

Sylvia. Four thirty-pound cows call

this Ranch their home. Here is Pon-

tiac Ophelia with a record of thirty-

two pounds of butter in seven days.

in the Cook herd are both out of blood-

lines that have long ago proven their

merits.



But there are also found many herds

of Guernseys and Jerseys. Mr. Wm.

Matthews is probably the leading

Guernsey breeder. He has purchased





some young cattle from the HolbeckV





Farm which should make an excellent

foundation for a herd. As one drives

through the county .he sees herd after

herd of dairy cattle on every side—-

AUTO DAMAGE.





 





I have my sheep pasture at the rear

of my home. Yesterday one broke out

and went to feed in rye field just

across the road, and while there an

automobile came along. She became

frightened and ran across the road

back to pasture, but machine struck

her, causing the wheel spokes to come

out. Now the owner of the machine

wants me to pay damages. I, not hav-

ing seen it, do not know how it hap-

pened, but a neighbor who was driv-

ing just behind him told me this.

Must I pay damages ?——G. E. .



It would seem that the driver is

guilty of contributory negligence. and

for that reason, the owner of the sheep

is not liable—J. R. R.





 





WILD OATS.





 





How can I control wild oats?—-—E. l3.



Wild oats, if out and fed to stock

when it is just beginning to head 'out

will not be far enough along to germ-

inate if some of it gets into the ma-

nure. If, however, it is allowed to get

nearly mature before cutting and feed-

ing, there will be considerable danger

of spread in this manner unless the

manure is hauled out on the fields rath-

er early this fall so that any of the

wild oat seeds may be, induced to

germinate, in which case they will be

killed by the winter cold.



Without seeing specimens it is im-

possible to know whether what is re-

ferred to as “wild oats” really is the

true wild cats or the Sterile Brome

Grass which is very commonly given

the name of wild cats in this state.—

E. A. B.





 





ACTION ON LEASE.





 





A man rented a. farm for four years.

He was to double the stock in that

time. He worked the farm for one

year and a half. At the end of that

time the owner backed out, and the

renter did not get anything for his

work. The grain that he grew is still

in the granary. Has he a right to sell

it9—A. L. D.



‘ The lessee being without fault, and

ousted by the lessor, is entitled to re-

cwer the value of his term as dam-

ages—what the lease would be worth.

It would be impossible to know who

owns the grain without reading the

lease or contract—J. R. R.





 





. ROAD REPAIR FUND.





 





This township has two road dis-

tricts, “One and Two." As I under-

stand the law, money raised for the

road repair fund should be spent for

repair work in that district wherein it

is raised. In this township the high—

way commissioner is spending part of

District No.1 money in District No.2.

Is this permissible? If not, what re-'

course have the residents in District



No. 11,3 and how should they proceed?



Concerning the matter of expendi-



ture of road repair funds in a district



in which the same was not raised by



taxation, please be advised that Sec. 9



of Chap. 2 of the General Highway



Law provides as follows:



"The repair tax should be expended





~or worked in .the road district where

. assessed.”





You also inquire as to what proceed-

ing the residents of a. district who are

not receiving their proportion of road

repairtax should follow. I again call

your attention to the language. used in"





,the above cited section, which further





reads as follows:

“The supervision of road work and





be under the charge of overseers sub





 





 





The window—glass





 





 





sioner as is herein prescribed; provid-

ed further, that upon complaint in



writing to the township board by any



ten or more resident taxpayers that



the road repair fund is being unlegally



and unconstitutionally applied, or



work improperly performed, the town ‘

ship board may direct the expenditure



of such road repair fund, or the man-



ner of performing such work.”—H. H.



Partlow.





 





FOR Kl LLING MUSTARD.





 





How can I kill mustard in my clover

anlda. bgrley field? Can I use a spray?

I know of no spray that will kill

mustard without killing the alsike clo-

ver. If you will use green vitriol at

the rate of one and one-half to two

pounds of the green crystals (not the

whitish or yellowish ' powder into

which these crystals decompose. on

standing) per gallon of water, and

spray it on with a potato sprayer so

that you will put on from twenty-five

to fifty gallons of the solution per acre

this will kill the'mustard with one ap-

plication if the latter is not,.over six

or eight inches high. If the mustard

”is already above this you will need

two applications at intervals of about

two weeks. This strength of spray will

not injure the barley, or at most will

blacken the ends and edges of the

leaves without doing any permanent

injury to it. It will, however, destroy

the alsike clover. If the mustard is

very abundant I believe it would be

better to spray and kill the mustard,

even if it does kill the blower, and then

- resow the clover at once as the green

vitriol in the soil will not prevent the

clover seed from germinating—E. B.





 





THlNNING PEACHES.

is of no benefit to a tree afflicted with

“yellows” or “little'peach.”



Though not always recognized, the

variety is also a factor to he could-

ered. Thinning is absolutely necessary

for such varieties as} Smock, Lemon

Free, Early St. John, and most of the

white peaches. But some, such as El-

berta, can devélop a remarkably large

crop of high-grade fruit, and need be

thinned only so that the mature peach-

es will not crowd each other on the

limb. Many seedling varieties seem to

be but little benefited by the operation.



It is sometimes held that beca‘use of

its cost thinning is not justifiable. But

is it a fair assumption that it will cost





~ no more, and probably‘less, to-pick the





fruit at thinning time and drop it on

the ground than it will to pick it in

September and carefully place it in a.

basket? Much of it would have had

to be handled several times, graded

and finally discarded as culls because

the fruit was too small.



No work of the peach orchard pays

better than this thinning, either in

price received for the remaining fruit

or in energy conserved for the tree.

Vi’estern customs are becoming more

general in the east, and the rigid sys-

tems of marketing thrbugh an associ-

ning should be included in the pro-

gram of the grower as regularly, and

practiced as conscientiously as spray-

eration that today is considered essen-

tial in the production of fruit of a ‘

quality which may be marketed most

PLANT POTATOES CLOSE

TOG‘ETH ER.





 





HOSE who have their soil in a



good state of fertility will find it

advantageous to plant the potatoes

close together. The Geneva Experi-

ment Station has made tests from

which they find that a larger propor-

tion of medium-sized tubers were se-

cured from fields planted six by thir-

ty-six inches, than from fields planted

fifteen by thirty-six inches. The close

planting will be found espeCially desir-

able where the potatoes are grown for

commercial purposes. The average in-





crease in net yield of thick planted





over thin planted potatoes amounted

to 34.7 bushels per acre. 01’ this in:

crease 18.7 bushels consisted of tubers

weighing two or more ounces.





 





NITROGEN IS FREE.





 





F course, there are times» when it



is advisable to buy nitrogen. But

this is not necessary when a proper

system of farming has been followed.

Why should we. buy this expensive

plant food element when there are mil-

lions of pounds circulating over every

farm, and when it is possible to take

this nitrogen from the air and lock it

up in the soil where it can be released

for the use of plants? Furthermore, it

is not only inexpensive to take the

nitrogen from the air and put it in

the soil, but the process can be carried

on while the farmer is making a profit

out of the field. This can all be done

through the proper use of legume

plants. This proper use Of alfalfa,

clover, sweet clover, vetch and other

legumes is certain to be the founda-

tion of our future agriculture. The

farmers who learn their lesson early

will have greater advantage from it

than those who are tardy in taking full

advantage of these nitrogen-fixing

plants. , '

More thorough seedbed preparation

is possible because there is more time

Good farming practice demands that

stubble be disced immediately after

removing the grain from the fields,

to return valuable humus to the soil,

to make fall plowing easier and to

conserve moisture.





 





The success of the next crop may

depend upon this saving of moisture

already in the soil. For this work

-CONSTANT gale of oratory, a

A rush of air reaching the enor-



mous total of 1,492,000 words,

and occupying 746 pages of fine type

in the Record, is the senate's score

for the first month’s discussion of the

tariff bill. And only thirty-five of the

438 pages in the bill have been consid-

ered as yet.



At the present rate of progress with

its accompanying agitation of the at-

mosphere, sufficient, I am sure, to op-

erate all the windmills in the United

States, it is going to take four or five

months for the senate to discuss the





. new tariff. There is no possible chance





that the bill can be acted on before

next September if the present rules

permitting unlimited debate are adher-

ed to.



To pass the Underwood, tarifl act

required less than seven weeks of dis-

cussion in the senate. The senate got

through with the Payne~Aldrich tariff

bill in nine weeks.





During the month or more the new

tariff bill has been before the senate,

senators have spent hours discussing

such pressing subjects as the French

Revolution, which ended, in 1799, the

after-war situation in Russia, the Fed-

eral Reserve' System, as well as other

topics as immediately urgent and ger-





, mane to a consideration of the tariff





bill as the historic question concerning

how old is Ann, the Einstein theory,

and what should be a. proper length

for women’s skirts.





The present tariff debate, in my

judgment, is affording the‘ most glar-

ing evidence of the utter inability of

the senate to do business in a busi-

ness-like way under the ridiculous and

archaic rules by which it hasbeen

conducted for half a. century or more.





We are having by far the wordiest

consideration of a tariff bill known to

fifty years of senate history. The dem-

ocratic

amendments, every one of which has

been rejected, usually with from thir-





ty-five to forty-four senators not vot-





ing at all.



Often an entire day is consumed in

solemnly debating a trifling amend~

ment offered by that side of the cham-

ber, one affecting an insignificant item





of no consequence to any one, artfully .





offered, I am inclined to believe, for

the entertainment of the other side of

the hall, or for the concoction of cam~

paign material and political medicine.





Commenting on the disgraceful de-

lay of the senate in considering the‘

tariff bill, eighty-seven‘out of 112 re~

publican newspapers of note express

disgust over the inability of a repub-

lican majority of such ample size to

obtain action.



All this time to expedite the bill, the

senate has sat in continuous session

daily from eleven in the morning ‘to

ten o’clock or later, at night, at the

sacrifice of the health of the senators.





Conscientious senators are taking

their meals as they can grab them at

the senate restaurant.

see their families from early morning

to late at night. And yet the senate

is making little or no progress in the

passage of legislation which, if unduly

delayed, has always had a disturbing

effect on general business; legislation

which every consideration requires

shouldbe settled as speedily as possi-

ble and which the country has hoped

would be got out of the way and done

with long ago.





Nothing could be more futile and

ridiculous, it seems to me, "than the





present lamentable demonstration. of

,the senate’s inefficiency under its out-





worn rules which-have come down to

cea‘ch as the some of human achieve-

ment in speed. -

There is bitter feeling among the

ounger and less precedent-ridden





members of the senate over this inde-





fensible situation, and the demand for

a reform of the rules is stronger and

more insistent than ever before in this

body.





_ Recognizing the country’s desperate

need' of a more effective legislative

arm of government at Washington, a

group'of senators, myself among them,

made an earnest effort as long ago as

last December to amend the senate’s

rules. But about hair a dozen repub—

lican senators still are standing out

for what virtually amounts to unlim-

ited debate. They are doing their best

to block the efforts of the modern ele-

ment in the senate which wishes to see

the senate get down to business and

dispose of important matters in a sen—

sible and effective way.





Notwithstanding, I feel certain an-

other, and probably a successful at-

tempt will soon be made to cure the

evil. The senate republicans have

held a conference which went on rec-

ord in favor of a cloture rule that will

bring the unrestrained forty-day tariff

discussion to a close. Opposition to

such a rule comes chiefly from the

group of Versailles-treaty irreconcil-

ables who contend it was the unlimit-

ed debate in. the senate that killed the

League of Nations, and they object to

depriving themselves of this instru-

ment for killing off objectionable mat-‘

ters. The majority of senate republi-

cans, however, believe more harm than

good results from unlimited debate

and they will support the new rule to

give a majority of senators power‘to

limit debate under certain conditions.

As only a. few senators now are stand-

ing out against a cloture rule, there is

an excellent prospect that time-killing

tariff speeches will soon be limited and

that we shall get somewhere.



WASHINGTON, D. C.





 





 





Francisco Farm N otcs

By P. P. Pope





 





 





ed in last week’s letter, I want to



call attention to the fact that

there is a price to pay. It seems to

me truly that the farmers of Michigan

have abundant opportunity for placing

their business on a higher plane, but

it will require individual effort. The

good things of this world do not just

come rolling up to us and lay down at

our feet. The prizes come to him

who works, who thinks, who goes af-

ter them.



Perhaps our inclination may lead us

to attempt the growing of pedigreed



seeds. Many of



us would expect

that all that

would be neces-

sary would be the

purchase of regis-

' tered seed and



the taking of a



long price for the



product. Not so.

‘There is a price

to pay. The seed

must be thorough-

ly treated to eliminate disease and

smut. Anddon’t forget your technique,-

as the doctor would say.



Then the roguelng. ‘If your crop

passes the rigid inspection to which it

must submit, .it must be clean and free

from foul weeds or admixtures of for-

eign seeds or of different varieties of,

the same kind of seed. Inpractically

all carries this requires that is ten“ '





C ONTINUING the thought express-
rogueing—taklng out the rogues—go-

ing through the field and removingby

hand everything that doesn’t belong

there. This work requires close appli-





 





cation 'to the business in hand‘and to_





f ; many people is a rather tedious

_ l process.



Next the threshing machine and the

grain bins must be thoroughly cleaned

and the greatest precaution used \to



l prevent farther admixtures in the bin.

It has to pass a bin inspection, too,

you know, and these inspectors are

heartless creatures, carelessness will



' not be tolerated by them.





l Then the cleaning. It must be thor-

oughly cleaned and graded on the farm

and only the best of the seed passed



l for seed purposes. And the inspection

fees and red tape—but already I hear



{ someone say, “’Oh, that is too much



bother.” Then he had better leave



l pedigreed seed production alone if he



, wishes to dispose of his crop for seed

purposes. It is the price one has to



i pay for the satisfaction, the pleasure,



and the profit of becoming a producer

of pedigreed seed, but it pays, not only

in the coin of .the realm, but in the sat-

isfaction that comes from good work



. well done.



, If we aspire to the position of pure-



‘ bred live stock breeder we have other

problems, and success in this line de-

mands that we pay 'the /price. The



‘3 , showing, shipping, selling, carting, ad-



vertising, registering and looking after



an endless amount of correspondence,

calls forth efforts and experiences en-

tirely foreign to the production of mar-

ket stock. I would not discourage the

man who is thinking of entering the

ranks of pure-bred live stock breeders

by emphasizing the Costs. But it should

be remembered that nothing that is

worth while in this world comes with-

out its price. If we would have rich

fields of corn and wheat and clover,

we must plow and plant and cultivate.





must put up the cash and 'pay for the

gas. If we‘ expect to get good fruit,

we’ve got to spray. So if we would

make a business of raising. and selling

pure-bred live stock we should consid-

i er the costs, remember that we are

taking on an additional business in it-

self, capable of great expansion, and

analyze ourselves to see if we are cap-

able and Willing to pay the price.



- The returns are worthy of the ef-

fort: That pure-bred live stock as well

as pure-bred seeds are here to stay

and be produced in ever-increasing

numbers, there can be no particle of

doubt. As a pound of Bordeaux is bet-

ter than a whole field of bugs, so a

few p'ure-breds are better than a farm

'full of scrubs. Gradually the economic

conditions of the country will force

the scrub where he belongs, in a class

with the other parasites, and when

generally recognized as a'parasite his

doom is sealed. .



There is no more honorable under-

taking under heaven than conscien-

tious work 'for the improvement of

the crops, the fruits, «the animals plac-

ed here to feed and clothe mankind.

It is a life work, dignified, and full of

the things that go to make life worth

while, and the man whom it pays is

the man who stays with the business

year in and year out.

VACUUM TUBE RECEIVING SETS.





HERE are many types of receiv-

ing sets which use the vacuum

tube or audion detector. The es-





'- sential differences which exist be-





tween them and which account for the

wide differences in cost will be point-

ed outl here.



Of course, some outfits include more

than one vacuum tube. Such sets are

obviously more expensive than those

which use but one. The added tubes

are used as amplifiers while they in-

crease the intensity of the incoming

signals they do not increase the range

of the set. This is contrary to the

general belief though experiments

have shown it to be a fact.



Sets which include but -one tube

may be divided into two classes, re-

generative and non-regenerative. Just

what this means will be explained lat-

er. A regenerative set has a much

greater range and is much more selec-

tive, that is to say, two stations send-

ing on very nearly the same- wave-

length may be more easily separated

so that only one is heard. A non—re-

generative receiving set is only a very

little better than a crystal detector

set. ‘When purchasing a-vacuum tube

receiving set make sure which of these

two classes it comes under.





Another fundamental difference in

vacuum tube sets is the type of tuner

employed. There are two kinds, sin-

gle circuit and double circuit. VVith-

out going into detail the merits of

each may be summed up about as fol-

lows: A double circuit tuner is more

selective, gives slightly louder signals

and does not interfere with near-by re-

ceiving sets quite as much. The single

circuit is much easier to tune and

gives very nearly the same signal

strength and is therefore the best one





to use for the reception of broadcast-.





ing.



A non-regenerative set may be made

regenerative by placing a variometer

in series with the ’phones. It is often

a good plan to buy a non-regenerative

receiver and convert it to regenerative

in this way because of the fact that

makers of regenerative sets have to

pay a large royalty for the use of cir-

cuit patents and this royalty is includ-

ed in the purchase price. A good non--

regenerative set can be bought for fif—

teen or twenty dollars and made over

for only five or six dollars more and





it will be equally as good as a thirty:





five to fifty-dollar regenerative outfit.

, A double circuit regenerative set

may be reconnected to function as a

single circuit set if one cares to do so.

To operate a bulb detector two bat-

teries are required. In order to get

good results these should be the best

obtainable. A second-hand storage bat-

tery will usually do for the “A’.’ bat-

tery if it will hold its charge. A bat:

tery that is too old will vary in volt-

age and cause a good deal of trouble

when tuning. A cheap “B” battery

will usually work well at first but it

soon deteriorates. A poor "B” battery

often causes a frying noise in the

’phones as well as weak signals.





QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.





Where can a good book on radio be

bought?



Wireless Press, Inc; New York City,

or at most any large book store.



What part of the receiving set is

called the “tickler” and what is it

used for? _



The “tickler” is usually a variom-

eter, or other form of variable induct-

ance used to tune the plate circuit of

. the vacuum tube. It is the part of a

‘ receiving set which makes the .set re~

generative.

How Simple to Install

the Marvelous Colt “Gas Well”! '





ERE is a cross-section of a farm house show-



ing how the pipes carrying that wonderful



carbide gas are'run to every room from the COLT

Lighting and Cooking plant.





Even though no provision was made for piping

when the house was built it is a simple matter to

pipe it now for Carbide Gas.





A good mechanic ‘can set the COLT generator,





pipe the average house and attach the handsome .





polished brass fixtures in about three or four days.





——without cluttering, upsetting and disturbing

the whole house. _. I





He works quietly from room to room. ,

Pipes are usually run between the partitions and un-





light everdiscovered in your home. The clearest

light to read by —- the very easiest on the

eyesight of the whole family.





And instantaneous flame for ecoking at the touch

of a finger. Even, sustained heat for a gas iron.

With a water heater, piping hot water for wash-

ing, shaving and bathing. '





And no more lamp-cleaning, filling, trimming or

carrying—no insufl'erably hot coal or wood range

in the kitchen during the summer months.





And you’ll have a cooking and lighting system

that is unequalled for simplicity, economy and

little attention. The gas is made automatically

by the generator. No expensive parts needing





 





der the floor—always concealed except

in some cases where possibly in a room or'

two building construction prevents the

running of pipe between a partition.





For illuminating the barn and outbuild-

ings a shallow trench is dug from genera-

tor to barn, pipe laid and covered. After

that, you can have the most brilliant,

“Then you can go uptown and hire

a taxiwthey’ve got‘ big cars for mount-

ain work and there are good roads all

the way. It’ll. cost fifteen or twenty

dollars. Or—”



Fairchild smiled. “Give me the oth-

or system if you’ve got one. I’m not

' terribly long on cash—for taxis.”



“Certainly. I was just going to tell

you about it. No use spending that

money if you’ve got a little pep, and

it isn’t a matter of life or death. Go

up to the Central Loop—anybody can

direct you—and catch a street car for

Golden. That eats up fifteen miles

and leaves just twenty-three miles

more. Then ask somebody to,point

out the road over Mount Lookout. Ma-

chines go along there every few min-

utes—no trouble» at all to catch a ride.

You’ll be in Ohadi in no time.”



Fairchild obeyed the instructions,

and in the baggage room checked his

trunk to follow him, lightening his

traveling bag at the same time until it

carried only necessities. A luncheon,

then the street car. Three-quarters of

an hour later, he began the five-mile

trudge up the broad, carefully groomed

automobile highway which masters

Mount Lookout. A rumbling sound be-

hind him, then as he stepped to one

side, a grimy truck driver leaned out

to about as he passed:



T‘Want a lift? Hop on!

—too much grade.”



A running leap, and Fairchild seated

himself on the tailboard of the truck,

swinging his legs and looking out over

the fading plains as the truck roared

and clattered upward along the twist-

ing mountain road.



Higher, higher, while the truck lab-

ored along the grade, and while the

building in Golden shrank smaller

and smaller. The reservoir lake in

the center of the town, a broad ex-

panse of water only a short time be-

fore, began to take on the appearance

of some great, blue-white diamond

glistening in the sun. Gradually a

stream outlined itself in living topog-

raphy upon a map which seemed as

large as the world itself. Denver, fif-

teen miles away, came into view, its





Can’t stop





streets showing like seams in a well-,





sewn garment, the sun, even at this

distance, striking a sheen from the

golden dome of the capitol building.

Higher! The chortling truck gasped

at the curves and tugged at the

straightaways, but Robert Fairchild

had ceased to hear. His every atten-

tion was centered on the tremendous

.stage unfolded before him, the vast

stretches of the plains rolling away

beneath, even into Kansas and Wyom‘

ing and Nebraska, hundreds of miles

sun; the truck turned into the hairpin

curves of the steep ascent, giving him,

a glimpse of deep valleys. green from

the touch of flowing streams, of great

clefts with their vari-hued splotches of

granite, and on beyond, mound after

mound of pine~clothed hills, fringing

the peaks of eternal snow, far away.

The blood suddenly grew hot in Fair-

child’s veins; he whistled, he repress-

ed a wild, spasmodic desire to shout.

The spirit that had been the spirit of

the determined men of the emigrant

trains was his now; he remembered

that he was traveling slowly toward a

fight—against whom, or what, he knew

not—but he welcomed it just the same.

The exaltation of rarefied atmosphere

was in his brain; dingy oflices were

gone forever. He was free; and for

the first time in his life, he appreci-

ated the meaning of the word. '

Upward, still upward! The town be-

low became merely a checkerboard

thing, the lake a dot of gleaming sil-





gine. The driver waved a hand for-

ward.



“Keep to the main road. D'rop of!

when I make the turn. You’ll pick up

another ride soon. Plenty of chances.”



“Thanks for the lift "



“Aw, forget it. ” .



The truck wheeled from the main

road and chugged away, leaving Fair-

child afoot, making as much progress

as possible toward his goal until good

fortune should bring a swifter means

of loComotion. A half-mile he walked,

studying the constant changesof the

scenery before him, the slopes and rls-

es, the smooth valleys and jagged

crags above, the clouds as they drifted

low upon the higher peaks, shielding





them from view fnr a moment, then.





disappearing. Then suddenly he

wheeled. Behind him

as it rushed forward along the road—

and the noise told the story of speed.

appeared, seeming to hang in space

for an instant before leaping down-

Rushing, plunging, once skid-

ding dangerously at a small curve, it

made' the descent, bumped over'a

bridge, was lost for a second in the

pines, then sped toward him, a big

touring car, with a small, resolute fig-

ure clinging to the wheel. The quarter

of a mile changed to a furlong, the





furlong to a hundred yards—then, with





a report like "a revolver shot, the ma~

chine suddenly slowed in ' drunken

fashion to. one side of the road, hung





[dangerously over the steep cliff an in-





stant, righted itself, swayed forward

and stopped, barely twenty-five yards

away. Staring, Robert. Fairchild saw

that a small, trim figure had leaped

forth and was waving excitedly to him

and he ran forward.



His first glance had proclaimed it a

boy; the second had told a different

story. A girl—dressed in far different

fashion from Robert Fairchild’s limited

specifications of feminine garb—she

caused him to gasp in surprise, then

to stop and stare. Again she waved

a hand and stamped a foot excitedly;

a vehement little thing in a snug,

whipcord riding habit and a checkered

cap pulled tight over closely braided

hair, She awaited him with all the im-

patience of impetuous womanhood.



“For goodness’ sake, come here!”

she called, as he still stood gaping.

“I'll give you five dollars. Hurry!”



Fairchild managed to voice the fact

that he would be willing to help with4

out remuneration, as he hurried for-

ward, still staring at her, a vibrant

little thing with dark-brown wisps‘of

hair which had been blown from be-

neath her cap straying about equally

dark-brown, snapping eyes and caress-





'ing the corners of tightly pressed, mo—





mentarlly impatient lips. Only a sec-

ond she hesitated, then dived for the

tonneau, jerking with all "her strength

at the heavy seat cushion, as he Step-

ped to the running boardbeside her.

“Can’t get this dinged thing up!"

she panted. “Always sticks when you

Fairchild, almost before he knew

it, found himself under the rear of the

car, fussing with a. 'refractory 'lifting

jack and trying to keep his eyes from

the view of trimly clad, brown-shod

little feet, as they pattered about at

RURAL HEALTH

BABY'S TONGUE IS COATED.





Our boy, 19 months old, has had

a coated tongue since he was a few

weeks old. He does not seem sick,

although I think he could eat a little

more. He is a good boy in day time,

though he will be restless at intervals

during nights. He was much consti-

pated when a baby and I thought his

tongue was due to his bowels; how he

has been regular for a few months but

his tongue is coated as much as ever,

and I am puzzled. What could cause

it and what would you advise me to do

about it? Have not weaned him yet.

———Mrs. M.





A coated tongue is not a symptom

to give rise to any great alarm in a

child otherwise in good health. Many

children have coated tongues while at

the age of milk feeding. Your baby

is altogether too old to be at the

breast. He can now eat bread, oat-

meal, soft eggs, mashed potato and

similar foods, and he should also take

cow's milk three times daily. Wean

him and give him a mixed diet and I

think you will see his tongue clear up.





CANNING QUERY.





String Beans.





Have been reading about home can-

ning by G. 0. Stewart in your paper.

Would you please publish recipe for

canning beans?——Mrs. A. E. B





The first quality is not over two and

one—half inches long and about a

quarter inch in diameter.

grade is about an inch longer, Cut

beans are usually about one and three-

quarter inches in length, and are usu-

ally cut with a slanting cut, or “on the

bias” which gives an attractive prod

uct. Grade closely, cutting out all the

specked, spotted. wilted or rusted

ones. Blanch three to fivé minutes in

boiling water, or better still, five to ten

minutes in steam. Drain well and pack

immediately into hot glass jars or

sanitary tin cans. Add boiling water

to cover, and one level teaspoonful of

salt per quart. Paddle or stir well to

remove all air bubbles. Seal and proc-

ess forty to fifty minutes under ten

pounds steam pressure, or two and a

half to three hours hot water bath.

Remove jars from canner and seal at

once. Tin cans are plunged in cold

water at once and cooled quickly.

When cool, remove. store in a dark,

cool. dry place.



Lima Beans (Green).

‘ These are treated as string beans

except that sugar is added with the

salt at the rate of two teaspoonfuls of

sugar and one teaspoonful of salt to

each quart.

Hull, grade, blanch two minutes,

rinse and pack to within a half—inch of

top. Cover with boiling water, paddle

or stir, add salt and sugar, seal and

process pint cans forty minutes at ten

pounds pressure, quart cans fifty min-

utes at ten pounds. Hot water bath

three hours. For more mature beans

only pint cans are recommended.



Lima Beans (Dry).

”Ii—fies; ,
F the profusion of cherry blossoms



which spread over Michigan in



early May can be taken as an indi-

cation, we are to have a bumper crop

of cherries this season. Here are a

“ few suggestions for their use during

the all too brief season, and for stor-

ing for winter use.



First of all, they may be served

fresh and raw at the table. Look over

carefully and select only unblemished,

perfectly ripe fruit. Remove all bits

of leaf, and wash thoroughly. Then

arrange around the outside of individ-

ual fruit dishes, with a bit of powdered

sugar in the center in which to dip the

fruit. The stems, of course, should be

‘ left on.



Sweet cherries may be made into a

mousse. Select perfect fruit, wash, pit

and let stand in a colander until the

juice ceases to drip. Whip one pint of

cream; add one cup of cherries and

one teaspoon of gelatin which has been

softened in three tablespoons of cold

water and then melted by setting in a

dish of hot water. Continue to beat

for five minutes; pour into a mould,

and pack in equal parts of ice and salt.

Let stand three hours before serving.



Cherry ice cream may be made by

mixing one quart of cnerry juice with

one quart of thin cream and one pound

of sugar. Freeze as any ice cream.





Cherry ice is made in the proportion

of one pint of juice to the quantity of

syrup obtained by boiling one pound of

sugar and one quart of water for twen-

ty minutes. This may be given “body”

by adding a.gelatin prepared as for

the mousse, or by adding the stiffly

beaten whites of two eggs when the

ice is half frozen.



Of course, you will have cherry pie.

You will help to save the juice if you

sift one rounding tablespoon of flour

with the sugar. Use at least one big

cup of sugar forsour cherries, and put

part of it in the crust before adding

the cherries. It will be well to let the

juice drip off first, as you do for the

mousse. Put the pie in a rather cool

. 'oven.



Be sure to try a one-crust pie. Beat



the yolks of two eggs five minutes, and

4gradually beat in a cup of sugar with

’which is sifted two level tablespoons

of flour. Stir into this enough pitted

and drained cherries to fill the crust.

Put in a cool oven, gradually increas-

ing the heat. Frost with the whites—

allowing six level tablespoons of sugar

. --—and return to oven to brown. -



If youecan by the open kettle meth-

od, which is much quicker than cold-

pack, and just as sure if you use care,

allow one and a half pounds of sugar

to every four pounds of sour cherries.

Wash, stem, and pit the cherries, cov-

er with the sugar, and let stand two

hours before canning.



If you can" cold-pack, blanch sour

cherries one minute before canning in

'the jars.

ighteen minutes. Use a thick syrup

made by boiling three quarts of sugar

and two quarts of water until the sy-

mp falls from the spoon in thick drops

which contains much of the sugar. By

the way, cherries are rich in sugar,

having about fifteen per cent. 'Spread

in single layers on trays or platters,

and dry in the sun or in a slow oven.

They may be put away in paper bags

or pasteboard boxes, if care is taken

to fasten the packages so as to keep

out all dust.



Sun-cooked cherries may be made by

the same recipe used for strawberries.

Allow three pounds of granulated sug-

ar and one pint of water for every





three pounds of fruit. Cook the sugar

until a thread forms, then add the

stoned and cleaned cherries and boil

for fifteen, minutes. Pour on platters

and place in the sun until syrup thick-

ens. These cherries may be used in

the winter as a side dish to pass at

table, or to fill tarts or make mousse.

.Cherry juice may be canned or hot-

tled for summer drinks or winter “gela-

tines or sherbets. Extract the juice

as you would to make jelly, heat to

the boiling point, and then let drip

through jelly bag. Fill bottles or jars

which have been sterilized, place in

the boiler and keep the water simmer-

ing for twenty minutes. Do not let the

water in the canner boil.—A. L. L.





Colors for Crocheted Rugs





F you are in need- of a rug to throw



down in front of bed or dresser, why

not crochet one? Crocheted rag rugs

are easy to make and as easy to wash.

Furthermore they can be made in the

colors in use in your room, and just

now they are very good.



Two- color rugs are favorites, though

very pretty rugs are made in three

colors. A center of old rose, then a

band of pearl gray and an outer bor-

der of rose makes a good combination;

or the order may be reversed, making

the center and border of gray, and'the

insert of rose.



Other color combinations suggested

are tan, dark green .and black; pearl

gray and orange; maroon and navy

blue; baby blue, black and white;

baby blue, pink and White; dark brown





and orange. The colors may be com-

bined in any order to suit the' worker’s

taste. An attractive rug is made with

a center of baby blue, then a band of

white, then black, and an outer border

of white. This would be appropriate

for a guest room or a child’s room.

The rags may be bought in skeins,

ready—dyed, as you buy 'yarn, and the

r-ug'made oblong, oval or round, to fit

the space for which it is intended. For

an oblong rug 20x40 inches start with

a chain of thirteen stitches, crochet

back on the chain and continue round

and round. Leave the stitches loose

and pat down smooth occasionally to

keep the rug flat. For a. 27x54 rug

start with nineteen stitches; for a

30x60 start with twenty-seven stitches;

for 36x72 start with thirty-six.—-A. L.

The Little Girl’aWardrobe





 





'LL garments should allow for free-



dom of motion, as it is child na-

ture to .be active. A garment which

binds, or interferes with'proper devel-

opment of the child makes him irri-

table. Skirts should be attached to

the waists, as a band which is tight

enough to hold the skirt in position is

likely to interfere with the circulation.





several ways by which the simple frock

for the little miss may be made very

attractive by a. few fancy stitches,

which can be added in a very short

time. , Remember that simplicity is es-

sential in all children’s clothing.





Do not use dull, uninteresting colors .





for children’ s dresses. Even if a color

does fade, ita is bett to he. the « -





 





 





 





 





 





 





than have it always ugly. If colored

material is’ soaked in salt water, wash-

ed carefully and dried in the shade,

the color will usually hold for some

time.



The proper fit of a garment has

much to do with its attractiveness,

therefore it is unwise to make a dress

too large, even if children do giow

rapidly: With the loose—fitting gar-

ments of today, an extra tuck will be

all the provision needed for growth.





 





JAVELLE WATER.





./





 





HY not make a jar of javelle



water this spring? It is a magic

water which, after once using, the

housewife will never be without.



It can be used in a multitude of

ways, during housecleaning. It will

remove stains from practically all the

cooking utensils,

coffee pots. It cleans aluminum or

graniteware equally as well. It is fine

to bleach the bread board, moulding

board, or kitchen tables; It will re-

move stains from the dish towels, ta-

blecloths, napkins, and other white

cloths. Javelle water removes all col-

or and should not be used ‘on colored

materials. To make, dissolve one-half

pound of chloride of lime in two quarts

of cold water, and one pound of wash-

ing soda in one quart of boiling water.

Let both settle and pour off the clear

liquid. Mix, let the mixture settle,

strain through a cloth, pour into hot-

tles, cork,'and keep in a dark place.

For stain removal, dilute with an equal

volume of-cold water. Soak the arti-

cle in this until the stain disappears,

then rinse thoroughly in several clear

waters, and finally in diluted ammonia

water. For whitening clothes,’ use





‘ from two to three tablespoons of the





liquid in the water in 'which clothes

are boiled—Louise H. Campbell, Mich-

igan, State Home Demonstration





Leader.





EASILY MADE TRIMMINGS FOR

CHILDREN’S WASH DRESSES.





 





.NEAT, inexpensive, easily made

trimming suitable for the girl's





dress or nightgown may be made by I





threading the bobbin of the sewing

machine with embroidery silk or any

heavy thread in a dainty fast color,

and using ordinary sewing cottOn in

the needle. Stitch near the edges of

belts, 'yokes, cuffs, etc., having the

.right side of the garment toward the

cloth‘plate, so the colored thread will

show on the finished work.



» Another attractive decoration is

made‘by drawing a thread of material

and weaving into the space thus made

a colored» thread somewhat heavier

than the one drawn; When the end of

the space is reached, a French knot

or a dot may" be used as a finish.

Threads may be drawn to form a pat-

tern or may be spaced "evenly and plac-

ed in parallel rows. _ .

HE mills of God grind slowly.

But they do grind. Sometimes

the machinery mores so deliher-

ately that one cannot see any move-





ment at all. But though the hour hand 1





of a clock is not seen to travel, every

day it makes a complete circle. The





history of the Hebrew people is ’the





history of forces that work slowly.

They operate so slowly that selfish

men, unthinking blind men, believe

they do not operate at all. God is

good, He is easy-going and benevolent,

the1e is no danger, let us go our way,

violating whatever laws of right and

justice we please. But 10! the hour

cometh, when these blind and deaf





leaders of t h e

blind and ' deaf,

find themselves





in the depths of

retribution that

can no, longer be

delayed. It is ,no

different w i t h

Judah and Israel

than it is with

other countries.

' France made the

experiment 0 f

playing with the

lightning of God’s wrath and there

was the French Revolution. Germany

exalted the horrible trio, Militarism,

Absolutism, Capitalism, and the world

Russia favored

the classes and oppressed the masses,

and one day the monarch and his fam-

ily are shot in a miserable village in

Siberia, whither he had banished so

many subjects, and his land is thrown

into chaos.





 





The pictures before us in this Sun-

day School lesson are vivid and in-

effaceable. The weak king tries to

escape while his city is surrounded by

a besieging army, is caught, his sons

are slaughtered before him, and his

eyes are put out. The holy city is

burned, and even the temple, one of

the most remarkable buildings of an-

cient time, vanishes in flame and

smoke. Then begins the march of long

lines of captives, hundreds of them,





' representing the flower of Judaism, its

,wealth and culture going toward Baby-





lonia. And the prophet whom wehave

come to respect so highly for his cour-

age and his lofty idealism, is with us

still. He is given his choice of going

with the people to a foreign land, or

of remaining with the poor and deso-

late in the ruined city, and he chooses

to stay.





HERE were reasons for this sud-



den downfall of Judah. In fact, it

was not sudden at all. It had been

coming for years. The men with vision

had seen it. Isaiah had seen it, so

had Amos and Micah. Micah had de-

clared that Jerusalem would be plowed

like a field. (And they accused him

of being a calamity bowler, and un-

patriotic!) There had been the oppres-

sion of the poorer classes for a cen-

tury and more. Wealth had been con-

centrating in the hands of a small

class. The sense of morality that had

.been instilled, into the minds of the

people by such leaders ‘as Samuel and

Amos, had vanished, save among a de-

vout few. Idolatry, followed by the let-

ting-down of standards, and the adop-

tion of practices of pagan nations

about them, had become common. The

The old

boldness with which ancient Israel had

met its enemies had gone. And when

such a~condition gets a foothold, there

is always an enemy at. hand to reveal

the nation’s weaknesses. Carlyle says,

but the

Judah had been guilty of this crime.





HE instrument in the hands of.a



just God who was to bring retribu-

tion on the nation was the Babylonian

monarch, Nebuchadrezzar. Twice does

Jeremiah refer to Nebuchadrezzar .as

the servant of Jehovah. He was a

mighty monarch, one of the greatest

of ancient times, like Peter the Great,

or Napoleon or Charlemagne. Great as





a warrior, he was also an- able states-Z

years, until that proud city fell. For

eighteen months his armies surround.

a city, he seemed never to let go. He,

said to have been a gorgeous place of

abode. Each brick is stamped with

the king’s name and his titles. One





can get lost in the vast throne hall.,

And this king was the servant of Je-i





hovah! No man is too great to carry

out the plans of Almighty God. He

uses the greatest and the smallest.

And Nebuchradezzar? Where is he

now? His palace has been dug out of





the mud, for curiosity-mongers to gaze ‘





at, its splendor forever gone. But the

other King,

Righteousness, but whose greatest

name is Love, lives today. “Thy





throne, O God, is forever and ever."





“Before the mountains were brought»





forth, or even thou hadst formed the





earth and the world, even from ever-1





lasting to everlasting thou are God."

The. tapestries in the throne-room of

the eternal do not fade, and the walls

gather no dimness nor dust, with the

passing years.



Is this. unusual for God to employ

pagan power for the. accomplishment

of his purpose? No. He used Cyrus,

the Persian, in the same way. I hard—

ly think one could describe Germany

as a Christian nation, during the years

of feverish military preparedness, say

ten years before the Great War. Yet

Germany was an instrument in the

hands of the Unseen to teach the

world the suicidal folly of worshiping

theGod of Force, a form of idolatry





as distinct as the idolatry into which,





Judah had lapsed when Babylonia ov-

erwhelmed her. Idolatry is not falling

down before an image, necessarily. It

is falling down in our own affections





before some object that we love above





God.





HIS great people, the Hebrews,



made a fatal mistake. They sup-

posed that God had favorites. The

idea of favorites is familiar in all

countries where'kings rule. The king

usually has a few persons with whom

he is on intimate terms and on whom

he showers his favors. God had led

their fathers by the hand of Moses and

Joshua into Canaan. Were they not

the favorites of Deity? They might

sin, but He would freely forgive and

allow no harm to befall them.

Dear Uncle Frank:

I have sat back from your merry





am going to try and write you a letter.



We live three miles from a small

town on the banks of a lake where we

have lots of fun. We often go fishing,

swimming and rowing on this lake.

It is named Blue Lake because if the

wind blows the least bit the water

will look like the blue of the sky, or a.

darker blue.



For pets we have a kitten, two pup-

pies, two calves, a pair of noisy guinea

fowls, and we had a pet crow which

was killed last deer season. It was

our best pet because it picked up the

English language instead of crow lan-

guage. It could say “shoo,” “Sue,”

“Bud,” “Willie,” “Hello,” and such

easy words. He learned the words





“Bud” and “Sue” first because they are

my brother’s and sister’s nicknames.

His name was Jake and he was sure

a funny pet.



We also had a pet woodchuck which





group for quite a while, but finally 1-

He is going to be a “family pet and a

spoiled child, I fear.” His mother

thinks he is the world.



We are in the busiest part of the

school year now. With finals and the

commencement program facing us, we

are kept busy. I am only a Freshie,

but I consider that we Freshmen are

just as. bright as the Seniors. (Math-

ematics teacher told us we were).

School closes about June 26. At the

last of June, and every year the an-

nual, called the Ceniad in E. L. H. 'S.,

is published. "Oh, the Seniors publish

it,’ of course! We are all looking for:

ward to commencement. ‘ The week

before school closes is full of ,enter-

tainment for us.



Last night my uncle was telling us

an incident that happened yesterday.

Near us there are some Russians, who

farm and do not understand the way

other farmers do it. My uncle saw

them plowing one night. They had

harnessed their bony horses and were

trotting the poor things while they

Dear Uncle Frank:



I am sixteen years old and am in the

eleventh grade. Radio is my hobby.

I have been at it for almost two and

one-half years. I now use a regenera-

tive set with a twostep amphfier. I

have a range for amateurs of about

1,500 to 2,000 miles, and for mus1c

about 800 or 1,000 miles. I possess an

amateur license, which is 1ssued .by

the government, my call letters being

8BGO. I use a spark coil to transmit

with now. My farthest dx (long dis-

tance), is thirty-five miles. I soon hope

to have a CW transmitter. A CW

transmitter is one in which vacuum

tubes are used. A CW transmitter IS

much more complicated than a spark

transmitter. Most radio “hams,” as

they are called, say that if you are

looking for trouble, start a CW outfit.



I will always be glad to help the

radio beginner on any question or dif-

ficulty.—~Yours respectfully, Herbert A.

Westveer, Grand Rapids, Mich.



The large number of radio fans who

read our department will be much in-





terested in your letter, I am sure.





 





Dear UncleFrank:



It is such a beautiful morning that

I must write to you: I want to send

this letter to you today for that rea-

son. Letter writing is the most diffi-

cult thing for me to do except when

the birds sing, the air is fresh and

balmy, and the great outdoors is call-

ing. Don’t you feel that country life

has a definite influence on young peo-

ple? I have never lived in the city,

but nevertheless, Ithink that it would

were plowing the muddy soil. An old

man was working on the road and

stopped his horses by the fence. The

Russian boy looked up grimly and a

quick smile flashed over his face. Evi-

dently he was not having much suc-

cess with the plowing. The horses

were tired and hungry. They would

not do good work. The old man shout-

ed a word of advice:



“Huh! Can’t make the horses go,

can you? Better go home.”



The big burly boy looked up dis-

gustedly and swore as he said, “Go

home? Naw—hit ’em!”

Dear Uncle Frank:



We have taken the Michigan Farm-

er a long time. I thought I would try

and win a. prize: ,



I was fifteen on the nineteenth of,

February. Have I a twin. I passed

the_eighth grade three years ago this

spring. I do not go to school now.



I am taking music lessons. Started

the first of last August. I am in the

second grade. I have two brothers

and two sisters, all younger than my-

self. We have a farm of 120 acres. I

have lived on a farm all my life and

would not want to live in» town. We

h vs 150 hens. They are Anconas.



ave got as high as 100 eggs in one

day. We like ,them fine.



I am sendingmy answers in, hoping

to wm a prize and if I don’t I won’t

get mad but will keep trying until I

succeed—Your niece, Mary E. Blashill,

Snover, Mich.





It is nice that you are taking up

music. Also, one hundred eggs 3. day

is good production for 150 hens.





Dear Uncle Frank:

I received your letter and I am sorry





to say that two of my brothers are,





babies. If you thiIik they can join, all

right, but that would be kind of funny,

don’t you think so? Paul L., my old-

est brother, and my sister, Violet, are

glad and want to join the Boys’ and

GII'IS' Deparment, and I also would

hke to.



We are each going to have a garden

of our own this year, that is, if we

can raise it. ~

' We .figure on having chickens next

summer. My brother is eight years

old this year and Violet will be nine.

Good-bye, with greetings to all.—Lil-

han Luepnitz, Allenville, Mich.



It would be rather funny to have

your baby brothers join us, but per-

haps it would also be fun. At least, I

hope you, your sister and your brother

will be active in taking part in this

department.

Why Johnnie Left the Farm





ANY speeches have been given

M from time to time on why, John



leaves the old home farm. Per-

haps some of these addresses have hit

the mark to a certain extent. But no

one can tell the story as well as the

boy himself.



Three years ago a calf club was or-

ganized in Winnebago'county, Wiscon-

sin. During the week of organization-

many meetings were held in the school

houses, and at such meetings the

young people often conducted the pro-

grams. One evening during a very in-

teresting meeting a boy of twelve years

was asked to recite. The teacher an-

nounced that the boy had composed

the poem himself. Here it is:





i-Johnnie bought himself a pig with





money he had earned.



He named her Nell and fed'her well,

and lots of tricks she learned.



But Nellie grew to be a. hog, and finer

there were few.



Then Father up and sold that hog—-

and kept the money, top.





Next Johnnie got a little calf- in pay

forlhoeing corn...“ _



He loved that calf, the calf'loved‘him

nature as you are born. '





 





 





 





 





But calfie grew to be a cow, as all

good calfies do.



Then Father up and sold that cow and

kept the money, too.





Now Johnnie loved his little pets, but

Father loved the pelf,



So Johnnie left the old home farm

and struck out for himself.



Said Johnnie’s Pa one summer’s day,

“I often wonder why





These kids don’t seem to like the farm.





the city is their cry.

It always will be strange to me,” con-

tinued Johnnie’s Pa,



“It only goes to show, though, how

ungrateful these kids are.”

When Johnnie heard what Pa had said



he gave a bitter laugh

And thought of those empty childhood

days, and of that pig and calf.

A great deal of applause greeted the

youngster when he had finished. No

trained speaker could have done bet-

ter. During that season over one hun-

dred boys and girls cared for pure-

bred calves in Winnebago county, and-

owned them, too. The club still pros-

pers today, and many young people in

that county have decided to be farmers

and breeders because of it.—‘—Earl J.

‘ have proven their popularity. Ev-

‘ the other kinds. So it seems very ap-





parent that the girls and boys like to

hunt answers to questions.



While the answering of these ques-

tions is probably more interesting and

perhaps easier than writing little es-

says, the latter are fully as valuable,

if not more so, as the practice of ex-

pressing yourself on paper, and the

writing out of original thoughts is very

valuable. training.



This thought also occurs to me. In

tition is much greater than in the oth-

ers. So you really have a better

chance of winning when you enter the

other contests. I believe this a hint

worth taking.



There is one thing which pleases





_' me greatly and that is the frequent





reference in the fine letters I receive,

to the thought that if you do not suc-

ceed at first, try, try again. If these

contests do nothing but to help devel-

op in you the spirit of determination,

they are worth While. Most of us,





rwhen we have experienced the compe-





tition in making headway in life’s bat-

tles, find that immediate success is

very rare, but that the right kind of

trying again will usually win out.



And what is the right kind of try-

ing again? It cetrainly is not the do-





ing of the same thing in a better way.





One girl had the right idea when

she said that she found these Read—

and-Win contests good penmanship

She would write out her an-

swers as she found them and then





would copy them three or four times .





before she sent. them in. After trying

the contests three or four times she

became one of the prize winners. So

care and perseverance won out with

her in the end. And besides, she got

a. lot of good practice. -



Another girl's mother had a differ-

ent attitude. She kept a copy of the

girl’s answers and compared them with

ours and thought I was wrong. I ad-

mit that I do make mistakes some-

times, but this time I happened to be

right. But, because the girl did not

win a prize that time, the mother

wrote that her girl would not try so

hard at the contests again. I really

hope she changes her mind and that

the girl will try again.



Another thing is very noticeable, and

that is that the girls have the boys

beat a mile when it comes to taking

part_in these contests. In the Sport

contest it was nearly half-and—half, but

even then the girls outnumbered the

boys. So I Wish the boys would wake

up, because I am one myself, perhaps

an old boy, but still one. I also ask





the girls to'wake the boys up, espe-l

, cially if they won’t wake up them-

_ selves. Tell flyourbrothers and boy





friends that the‘alarm clock is ringing





fag-41ml; the contests are on.





 





"In the last 'Bead-aEdWin contest,





questions three and four were the

hardest' to'get. On both of the ques-

tions quite a few got the right answers

but they went too much in detail. Per-

haps they were not sure about their

replies so wrote enough to make sure

that the correct answer would be in-

cluded. Is that right?



Several of the boys and girls have

written me that they wish So~and-So

whose name has appeared in the paper,

would write to them. Wouldn’t it be

better, seeing that you have So-and-

So’s name and address, for you to

write that you would like to corre

spond with he or she?

tions in the Read-and-Win Contest of

CURING CLOVER FOR POULTRY.





 





HERE is so much talk about clover



as winter feed for laying hens that

I thought I would explain how to cure .

it to the best advantage. Clover is one

of the best and cheapest foods for the

poultry, as it can be stored and used

as green food during the winter. To

obtain the best reSults, clover should

be cut from early to full bloom, for

not only at this time is the largest per

cent of the food value in the clover,

but if out at this time a second, and

even a. third crop can be harvested.





The nitrogenous elements of the clo-





’ver are the most valuable for feeding‘





purposes and it is therefore important

to cut the clover at the time of their

greatest development. Cutting the clo-

ver at just the right time and curing

it so as to prevent the loss of these

valuable elements will result in a. feed

of real value the coming winter.





The clover should be cut during the

latter part of the day'when it is free

from dew and moisture, for this will

save time in curing it. The following

day after the clover has dried and wilt-

ed», shake it up and turn it over. Let

dry until the leaves are nearly dry.

However, if left too long, the leaves

will crumble and be lost in the hand

ling of the hay. Turn it once more

and giveyit another hour of sunshine

and it is ready to be bunched into'

cocks. Keep these small and turn them

over the second day, then on the third

0r fourth day, you can put the clover

in the haymow.



CIOVer cut, cured and harvested as

above should come out of the mow in

winter sweet and nice. The clover

can be fed to the foWls by Simply

throwing a bunch of the day on the

poultry-house floor every day or two,

letting the fowls strip off the leaves

and eat them as they choose.





Another good way is to cut up the

clover very fine, using about the same

bulk of cut clover as of grain, corn-

meal, wheat middlings or whatever is

to be fed with it. This should be thor-

oughly scalded and cooked. When it

is to be fed in the morning the mess

should be prepared the-evening before

and allowed to stand in a covered ket-

tle and steam over night. Enough wa-

ter should be used to make the mash

moist. If the mash is so. dry as to

crumble it is apt to be wasted. Clover

fed in the form here outlined or in the

shape of meal is a wonderful aid to

egg production for hens—F. R. Tep-

pen.





 





ANOTHER STEP IN POULTRY

WORK. '





 





HE work of poultry culling has re-



ceived wide publicity. Through it

much good has been accomplished and

many a flock owner has been placed on

a profitable basis through the elimina-

tion of poor hens. In a. few districts

extension work is now being continued

along feeding lines. The object here

is to carry to the farmers through ex-

tension workers, reliable data on the

best practices in feeding poultry. Since

this information can be made of value

to practically every farmer, it should

become as popular as the culling work.





 





FOR GOOD INCUBATOR HATCHES.





 





F G. C. S. and others who. have in-



cubator troubles will use a. hygrom-

eter, which costs ninety-two cents in

catalogs, to test the moisture, they will

not lose so many eggs. I- got 114-

chickens from 124 tested eggs.

A SIMPLE CHICK REMEDY.





 





MRS. MANTHA TAYLOR, of: Indi-

ana, says she cures her baby

chicks of the white scours by giving

them salt.

she puts one teaspoonful in a quart of

sour milk. She has used this for three

years and never lost a. chick—D. T.

McNickle. ' '





 





PROBABLY TUBERCULOSIS.





 





My hens have been dying off all

winter, about two or three a week.

Some get lame first and then get bow-

e1 trouble and die of it. Others get

the bowel trouble first and get lame

a few days before they’die. Nearly all

of them look healthy about the head

until the very last. They live a long

time after the sickness starts. some

several weeks, and have to be killed.

-—Mrs. C. K. '





The symptoms you describe indicate

tuberculosis. There is no cure for this

disease. If you have a large and valu-

able fiOck it will pay you to have a

veterinarian inspect ‘the birds and

make recommendations. .The usual

advice is to kill off the flock and these

that are in apparently healthy condi-

tion are fit to market. Then the house

can be thoroughly disinfected and the

ground around the buildings plowed

and given a rest from poultry until it

is free from the disease. Then a. new

start can be made with birds from a.

healthy flock. ‘ ‘





 





'ANGORA RABBITS.





 





My fourteen-year-old boy has the

“rabbit craze.” He has some muted

common rabbits, black, white, Belgian,

etc., and wants to buy‘a pair of "An-

gora rabbits from a. man in town. The





price is $7, a. pair. Claims they have“ to ~ '





be sheared twice a'year,‘_wool or hair,

whatever it_~is called, can be’sOld at a

good price; ‘Can you~.giv'e us any idea:

of the breed and what can be done

with them? I see no rabbit ads ‘in

any of the farm papers. Seems to in-

dicate there is not much to the bus

mess—E. H. B. . -.

The Angora rabbit is a. beautiful

animal when .the fur is Well groomed

but some rabbit breeders say it is an

error to buy them as children’s pets

because of the amount of care requir-





. ed to'keep the coat in good condition.





If this work is neglected they become

a sad, looking spectacle. .-



It is reported that peasants .in

France and Switzerland have bred this

rabbit for its fur and the fur has been

sold for making clothing. I do .not

know of a breeder who considers it

very profitable to raise the Angora

rabbit for its fur although many

breeders sell the fur from the larger

rabbits and find it a. profitable side-

line. . ' ‘



I think your boy will have better

success with his rabbits if he’sticks

to pure-bred Flemish Giants, Belgians

or New Zealand Reds. The Angora is

really a. breed for the fancier and the

skilled specialist.

COW-TESTING .woak SUMMAR-

.1on.





 





ATA just compiled shows that

there Were fourteen cow-testing

aTs'sociations operating in the state dur-

ing the fourth month of the present





year, oflwhich twelve made reports.





In these twelve there were 261 herds

of cattle containing 2,947 cows on

In these

herds there were 459 cows producing

over forty pounds of fat, and 135 pro-

ducing over fifty pounds. Five’ hun-

dred four cows gave over 1, 000 pounds

of milk and 212 gave over 1,250

pounds of milk. Seventy-six members

were weighing their milk. During the





month five pure-bred sires were bought '





by members and there were sold eight-

een cows which had proven unprofit-

able.





 





EFFICIENT T. B. WORK.





 





ARMERS in Michigan will be in-



terested in a report on eradicating

tuberculosis in the cattle herds of Es-

sex county, New York. By carefully

dividing the county into convenient

districts and distributing the work

among twenty-five veterinarians who

were piloted from farm to farm by

volunteer farmers with automobiles

they were able to clear' the entire

county of its reactors in just eight

days. By'carefully planting the roots,

it was possible each day to test 920

herds containing 5.474 cattle. This

was an average 'of more than eighteen

herds a day for each veterinarian.

Through cutting the time to a mini-

mum and providing supplies in quan-

tity, the work in this county cost less

than half-of the usual expense where

herds are tested individually.





TESTING ASSOCIATION DID IT.





 





HE following information has just



reached us through the extension

department of the college: Some'years

ago Mr. C. E. Bright bought a cow

that looked good to him. His neigh-

bors never thought much of this cow.

Mr. Bright then, as now, belonged to

a. cow-testing association." This cow,

which the neighbors had discarded,

made 315 pounds of butter-fat in 200

days and over 400 pounds of butter-fat

in 300 days. Mr. Bright says, “She

was the best cow I ever had. I learn-

ed that good breeding brings good re-

sults."





PRODUCING CLEAN MILK.





 





I'LK. when it is first drawn from

healthy cows, is clean. If: prop-

erly .handled no material change





I" will take place for a considerable





length of time. When dirt gets into

milk it furnishes a medium for bacte-

rial growth that in a very short time

causes it to become impure and unfit

for human consumption.



Milk deteriorates from contamina-





‘ tion very rapidly during the hot sum-





mer months. Dairymen, therefore,

should ' give special attention during

the summer season to so handle their

milk to insure cleanliness.



The larger portion of the milk pro-

duced on Michigan farms is put into

cans and hauled to market. Every

farmer has had his experience during

the summer months with milk souring

before it reaches the market. Sour

milk is the farmer’s loss and can be

overcome by proper methods of hand-





loan stables clean, cows,

‘-





cooling the milk as soon as drawn are

a few of the essentials in producing





clean milk for the market and home-





consumption. Neglect of any one of

the above requisites invite loss and

human disease.



Stables should be cleaned regularly

and some absorbent used to take up

the odor and destroy germ life. I

clean my stables once daily and use a

liberal amount of pulverized lime as a

disinfectant. About nine-tenths of the





" extraneous matter found .in milk is





manure from the body of the animals

and the remaining one-tenth are part-

icles of hair and dirt from the stable.

Dirt. not only causes milk to sour rap-

idly, but makes it unfit for human use.



Dairy utensils, such as pails, cans

strainers, etc., used about the dairy

should be thoroughly sterilized. Prop-

er sterilization destroys bacteria and

prevents rusting. On most farms hot

water, washing powder and a stiff

brush must be depended upon for

cleaning the dairy utensils. Do not

wipe the utensils after washing, but

scald .with boiling water and set in

the sun or drying oven to dry.





Milk as soon as drawn should be





cooled to forty-five degrees Fahrenheit 7





and kept at this temperature until de-

livered to the market. Even a dairy

farm where milk is produced for mar-

ket or human consumption should be

equipped with a sanitary milk house

with a large tank filled with fresh wa-

ter for cooling the milk. I find this

method of cooling the milk involves

less labor and if frequently stirred

while cooling insures a low tempera-

ture—Leo C. Reynolds.

GUERNSEY MEETING.





 





ERRIEN County Guernsey Breed-



ers’ Association held a very in-

teresting all-day meeting at the home

of Mr. and Mrs. Hollenbeck, Thursday,

June 1. '



The well-filled tables out under- the

shade of the trees made a very attrac-

tive setting for the picnic dinner.



Guernsey milk was served at the

dinner. .



In the afternoon a meeting was held

when short talks were given by Pref.

Reed, of M. A. 0.; Mr. Holbrook, 0’:

Bay City, president of the State Guern-

sey Association; Mr. Simontan, of St.

Joseph. Berrien county agricultural

agent, and Earl Hemmingway, of Eau

Mr. Wignan, of Lansing, and Prof.





.Denniston, of M. A. C., were among‘

the guests from a distance.





There were eight choice young

Guernseys sold at this meeting to

Guernsey enthusiasts in the county

just starting new herds, with the ex-

ception of one going to’ Branch county,

bought for a calf club. .





AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS LARGE.





 





HE total value of exports of agri-



cultural products from the United

States for the month of April is about

the same this year as for the corre'

month. The pre—war value of grain,

meat and cotton exports for the month

of April was about $59,000,000. The

amount exported in April of this year

was $102,386,698.

HOGS ON PASTURE.





 





HE successful hog grower knows



the value of good pasture. He is

not only able to keep the young pigs

growing rapidly and continuously, but

he is also able to keep his stock hogs

in the pink of condition through the

use of green feed. In turning the hogs

out, it should be the aim of every

farmer to see that the animals have

shade and water. If natural shade is

not provided, then some sort of arti.

ficial shelter

Plenty of good fresh water should also

be made easily available to the ani-

mals.





 





LAMBING-OFF CORN AND SOYS.





OWN in Indiana tests have been



carried out to determine the feas-

ibility of lambing-off corn and soy-

beans. Last year a “thirty-acre field

was planted to corn and Ito San soy-

beans. All of the bean seed was inoc-

ulated excepting on six acres. They

were planted with a soy-bean attach-

ment on the corn planter at the rate of





A Combination of Grass,





six pounds of the bean seed per acre.

‘When the corn and beans had ma-





z’tured, three hundred lambs, costing





$0.65 'were turned in to harvest this

(amp. 'The’lambs were sold at $10.25

per hundred, giving a total profit of

$866. When the lambs were removed

from the field, about thirty bushels of

shelled corn were picked up, after

which some hogs and other live stock

were turned in to clean up the re-

mainder.



Another demonstration will be con-

ducted this year along the same line.

This will be the third season in which

the tests have been carried on. Dur-

ing the first year only one hundred and

fifty lambs were red, but the profit

from them was satisfactory to the

owner. -



It might be added that the growth of

the beans on the six acres without in-

oculation was decidedly inferior to the

growth of the remainder of the field.





 





TH E PIG SURVEY.

dreds of farmers here in Michi-

The United States Department of Ag-

HOME CONSUMPTION OF BEEF.





 





N the past fresh beef has been com



stituted a major portion of beef ex-

ports, and foreign markets took from

five to ten per cent of the total slaugh-

ter of this country. Domestic consump-

tion, however, has developed to apoint

where practically ‘all of our beef:

slaughtered is consumed at home. In

1921 less than one per cent was ex-

ported. ~

Perverted Appetite.——Can you tell

me what to feed my cattle that will

prevent them eating pine wood, or rot-

ten wood? My cows have been well-

fed all winter and are in good flesh.

O. L. 8., Monroe, Mich—Feeding grass

and very little grain, with plenty of

powdered wood charcoal in it is the

least expensive remedy for them.



Sore Neck—I have a mare ten years

old which I bought twelve months ago.

She seems to have something wrong

with the upper part of neck where col-

lar rests and it bothers her very much.

She is very nervous and touchy, pun-

ishing her fails to make her quiet.

There is a small callous or thickening

of the skin on top of neck. R. S.,

Romulus, Mich—Freezing with ethyl

chloride spray is a satisfactory man

ner in which to terminate local skin

irritation, caused perhaps by a low

grade infection, or to a form of par-

asitism. In some cases one applica-

tion is all that is required to give re-

lief; however, you can tell whether a

second or third treatment is neces-

sary.



Sore Shoulder.—My

horse had bunch on shoulder where

the draft comes. Local veterinary op—

ened it and let out bloody water, and

he scraped out dead tissue; later on he

applied a blister. This occurred last

summer, now the shoulder is sore

again. Rest seems to be the best

remedy. What causes these sacks? L.

W., Hart, Mich—A bruise from the

collar causes the serous abscess, then

it is opened, perhaps wound is infect-

ed and the shoulder remains sore for

some time. Dissolve quarter pound

of acetate of lead, quarter pound sul-

phate of zinc in one gallon of water

and apply to‘tender shoulder three or

four times .a day. Does the collar fit?

It is unfair to expect a speedy recov-

ery, if you work the horse.



Remedies for Flies.——I should be

pleased if someone could give me a

formula for a fly spray to beused on

cows. I neglected to clip a formula

I saw in the Michigan Farmer about a

year ago. C. K., Milan, Mich—Rancid

lard, one pound, and kerosene, one—half

pint, mixed thoroughly until a creamy

mass forms, when rubbed not too

thickly over the backs of cows with

a cloth or the bare hand, will keep the

flies off cattle for two or three days.

A mixture of one part kerosene and

three parts fish oil can be sprayed on

with a small spray pump. Another

mixture is made of 100 parts of fish

oil, fifty parts of oil of tar, one part

crude carbolic acid. This is applied by

means of a small spray pump.





Rickets.——-I have some pigs that are

not yet weaned, but nearly all of them

are lame and unable to properly use

their hind legs. Some of them drag

both hind legs and some of them are

almost blind. What can be done for

them? F. T. J., Hartford, Mich—The

pigs are. no doubt affected with rickets

and the tendency of the disease is

heredity. Perhaps you have fed the

sow too much corn and not enough

oats, oil meal, tankage, roots, clover,

alfalfa and grass. Had you fed her

some salt, lime and plenty of wood

ashes, or charcoal her pigs might have

remained strong and healthy. Change

the sow’s feed, or wean the pigs and

give them plenty of cows milk, some

WHEAT





The official estimate upon the wheat

crop confirmed private returns fore:

casting a total yield of 855,000,000

bushels of winter and spring, compar—g

ed with 795,000,000 bushels harvested

last year and an average of. 799,000,000.





bushels in the five years, 1916 to 1920. '





Red rust is causing a little damage to

the winter wheat .crop. Cutting has

started in Oklahoma, Kansas and even

in southern Missouri, Illinois and Indi-

ana so that a large area is past the

danger point. The crop i111 Kansas and

Oklahoma which was delayed by the

drouth up until March, has not headed

, as well as the growth of straw prom-

ised. The spring wheat states had

rains where needed last week but the

winter wheat area in the Pacific North-

west has been severely injured by dry

weather. Prices are more stable and

export buying continues. The outlook

is for a strong market.





RYE





The rye crop for the country as a

whole was estimated at 81,000,000

bushels, which is forty per cent more

than last year and nearly twenty per



~ cent over the average of the previous





five years.

' OATS



The official estimate upon the oats

crop at 1,305,000,000 bushels was

slightly larger than expected, in view

of previous reports of its low condi-

tioln. Since the crop is late, cool

weather will be necessary to prevent

heavy deterioration. Last year’s har-

vest was 1,061,000,000' bushels and the

average of the preceding five years

totaled 1,413,000,000 bushels. The sup-

ply of old oats is large.





BARLEY





The barley crop estimate at 191,000-

000 bushels is 40,000,000 bushels more

than last year, but 6,000,000 bushels

, less than the average for the five

years, 1916 to 1920.





CORN





Corn prices have been on a low lev-

el but there is a belief that they dis-‘





"changes will be for the better. Farm

disappearance has been heavy. Conn

ed to live stock has netted in many

cases two or three times as much as



hen sold as grain. Domestic and ex-

no t outlets have prevented any unus-





count all bearish factors and that.





ual accumulation at terminals. The

new crop prospect is none too good.





FEEDS





Selling pressure has been reduced in

the market for wheat feeds but the

demand is limited and prices have ad-

vanced but little. A still lower market

would not be surprising later on when

mills begin grinding the new crop of





wheat.

‘ BEANS





The Michigan bean market reached

a new high mark of $9. 75 for choice

hand picked whites f. o. b. shipping

points at the close of last week. A few

are being held for $10.- The Califo

market has lagged behind Michig

but regained part of the distance gby

am advance of $1 last week. With the

market at this high level beans are

being offered from Roumania, Japan,

Bulgaria and Chili. These are not so

uniform in size or so satisfactory for





merchandising as the domestic prod-‘





not but may check further advances.

The demand usually becomes dull dur-

ing hot weather.

HAY



The hay crop according to the gov-

ernment’s June 1 estimate, will be

106,000,000 tons compared with an av-

erage of 101,000,000 tons in the pre-

ceding six years. Pastures are above

the average. With increased receipts

and slow demand, hay prices have

been working a little lower recently.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Cold storage holdings of eggs on

June 1 according to the preliminary

report of the Bureau of Markets, total-

ed 7,936,000 cases. This is the largest

number ever reported as far‘back as

the records go. Average holdilngs on

June 1 in the last five years total 5,-

701,000 cases. Prices have held at

about the same level for sixty days.

BUTTER





The movement of butter into cold

storage at the four leading cities last

week averaged over 1,000,000 pounds

per day. Prices are about ten per

cent higher than during storing sea-

son a year ago but the prospect of a

broad demand during the fall and win-

ter has induced operators to buy rath~

er freely. Demand for butter scoring

90 or better has been active but lower

grades moved slowly. The market has

been slightly nervous but‘prices show

little net change, amd are likely to

held within a limited range for the

next month or two.



Prices on 92- -score fresh butter Were:

Chicago 351/2c; New York 361,40; Bos-

ton 370; Philadelphia 37c.



Detroit fresh creamery in tubs sells

for 33%@34c.





POTATOES





The lighter shipments of potatoes

brought about a substantial recovery

in the market. New potatoes are not

coming on quite as fast as the supply

of old potatoes is shrinking, although

shipments of new potatoes up to June

5 totaled 12,320 cars compared with

9,385 cars last year. Maine, Michigan

and Minnesota are the principal ship-

pers of old stock. Northern whites

sacked are bringing $2.10@2.15 per

hundred pounds in the Chicago carlot





market.

FRUIT





The apple crop was estimated at

180,000,000 bushels on June 1 compared

with 97,000,000 bushels harvested last

year and an average yield of 179,000,-

000 bushels in the five years, 1916 to

1920. The peach crop was estimated at





210; broilers 28@35c;

ducks 18@25c; geese

WOOL





Although the wool market is ner-

vous, with much talk of a possible

reaction, prices have been quite firm

both at seaboard markets and in the

country. The finer grades appear to

be especially scarce. Prices in some

cases are said to be up to the level of

the rates in the senate tariff bill but

they are not yet up to the emergency

tariff which is the measuring stick un-

til the permanent tariff bill is nearer

enactment. Foreign markets have been

a little easier in the last few'days.

Prices at country points in many cases

are above a parity with Boston.





CHEESE





Cheese prices at distributing mar-

kets are following the tone of country

markets which were slightly lower last

week, but are materially higher than

a year ago. At the lower level buyers

displayed more interest and the” vol-

ume of goods changing hands increas-

ed. The cheese arriving is showing

full grass flavor and is excellent for

storing. Weekly receipts at the four

leading markets have increased about

forty per cent since the first week of

April. Consumption of cheese since

January 1 has been almost identical

with the same period of 1921. Retail

demand recently has been quite satis-

factory





DETROIT CITY MARKET





Green onions, turnips, green peas

and strawberries were the produce

commodities ”which were in greatest

demand on this market during the

past week. The marketgenerally is

very active with a good quantity of

produce available and with trading

brisk. The market was dull on pota-

toes, poultry, eggs and rhubarb. The

prices are as follows: Asparagus at

$1.25@2 per dozen bunches; eggs 28

@40c; green onions 40@60c per dozen

bunches; green peas $4@5.50 per bu;

potatoes $1.35@1.50; poultry 30@35c;

strawberries $4@6 per 24-qt. case.





GRAND RAPIDS





Early sweet cherries began crowding

strawberries in the Grand Rapids mar-





.ket this week, large supplies of both





fruits being offered. The demand for

cherries was slow as houseWives were

not ready to begin canning that fruit

while strawberries were available.

Sales ranged from $2@2.50 per 16-qt.

case. Strawberries ranged from $1@

1.75 per case, with the market about

$1.40@1.50. Farmers are rushing in

their old hay which'is selling slowly

around $20 a ton. Haying has com-

menced in mamy sections and with a

large crop in prospect farmers are

cleaning out their mows. Wheat turn-

ed back up early this week following

the setback in May. But the grain

market, so far as the farmers are con-

cerned, is of little importance just at

present as they have little or no grain

of alny kind to sell.

just as well be $18 per cwt. as $9 as

far as any benefits would come to the

growers who sold their crop last win-

ter around $4.50 per cwt. The federal

cold storage report unsettled eggs and





. bids have fallen to twenty cents. But—





ter strengthened and the shortage in

holdings is expected to stabilize the





market all through June, Live stock '





was steady. Offerings of poultry are

larger and heavy fowls are quoted at

220. Broilers range from 25@35c per

pound. ’~





INTEREST IN STOCKERS NOT

APPEASED.





 





HE buoyant fat steer market, to-



gether with confidence restored in

the future of the cattle industry, re-

vived interest in stock steers and

breeding cows after it had died down

in May. Suitable kinds are scarce and

priced too high to look safe, especially





with the season just ahead when a.





sharp drop in values generally occurs.

The breadth of interest and scarpity

may prevent as severe a decline in

midsummer as usual. ,

Storage holdings of lard at seven

LAMB PRICES TRENDING LOWER.





 





HE trend of lamb prices contin-

ues downward, although there are

occasional temporary halting places.

The southeastern crop will be moving

for two or three weeks longer, and the

number of cornbelt lambs grows week-

ly. Range lambs will not become nu-

merous until late July so that tempor-

ary bare spots may develop in the

meantime, but it is quite unlikely that

lowest prices have yet been seen.

Buying of feeding lambs and breed-

this time of the year. It is reasonable

to expect better bargains, especially in

feeders a little later on.

FEDERAL CROP REPORT.





 





COPY of the crop report of the



Bureau of Markets and Crop Es-

timates indicating the probable CI‘OD

yields for the country for 1922 as bas-

ed on estimates. made June 1. has just

been received. ‘



According to;this report the produc-

tion of winter wheat is estimated at

607,000,000 bushels, as compared with

the final estimate of 587,000,000 bush-

els for the 1921 crop, and an average

of 566,000,000 bushels for the five-year

period from 1916 toul920 inclusive.



Spring wheat shows a prospective

crop of 247,000,000 bushels as compar-

ed with-208,000,000 for 1921, and 233,-!

000,000 for the five-year period. I



The cat crop shows an estimated

yield of 1,305,000,000 bushels, as com-

pared with the 1921 crop of 1,061,000,-

000 bushels, and an average for the

filve-year period of 1,413,000,000 bush-

e s.



The crop estimators calculate the

barley crop of this year to be 191,000,~

000 bushels, as compared with 151,-

000,000 bushels last year, and 197,000,-

000 bushels for the five-year period.



Rye alsoshows a larger prospective

crop with 81,000,000 bushels for the

current year, 58,000,000 bushels last

year, and an average for the five yars

of 68,000,000 bushels.



The total apple crop is figured at

180,000,000 bushels, as compared with

98,000,000 bushels last year, and 179,-

0006000 bushels for the five-year pe-

I‘l'O . ’



The peach prospects are 54,000,000

bushels for this year, 33,000,000 bush-

els last year, and 44,000,000 bushels for

the five-year period.



In the special state reports made by

the federal government Michigan crops

of wheat, oats and rye for 1922 will be

larger in each instance than these

crops were a year ago, and also larger

than the five-year averages, providing

that normal conditionsare maintained

during the remainder of the growing

season.

‘Ferris Pedigreed
MANDY .Fnu'rr PICKINGMLADDER,‘ '





THE illustration shows a handy





fruit picking ladder. This is four-

teen feet in length, consisting of one

main two-by-two piece, to which steps

, or cross-pieces are screwed, a piece of

hard wood, three feet in length, bent,

being placed at the lower end-to sup-

port the ladder. Wires are then run

midway up the ladder to add strength,

these being tightened as much‘as pos-

sible. A single support is hinged near

the top to support the load.

'As the picture shows, it is possible





[for the picker to “get Into the tree”

much further using this ladder than

with the wider kinds, which must rest

against the tree in order to be sup-

ported. Also, less fruit is knocked off

the tree, which means that a greater

percentage is first-class, hand-picked.

The ladder may be made shorter or

longer, according to the average of the

fruit 'trees worked—E. W. Gage.





TOMATOES AND MELONS.





,HEN on a visit to a melon-grow-



ing section of Missouri last year

I learned that tomatoes and watermel-

ons were grown together every year.

My informant said that he got a dou-

ble crop, for so far as he could dis-

cover the tomatoes did no damage to

the melons, and he got a good crop of

tomatoes every season. He set his to-

matoes in the melon hill after the mel-

ons had made a start if he used large

plants, or planted together if seeds

were sown or small plants used. He

enriched the hill only, thus saving fer-

tilizer, and this feeding gave him ex-

tra‘ fine tomatoes as well as melons,

and the cost was little compared with

the results. Poultry or sheep manure

is best fOr melons and should be mixed

well to a good depth and for eighteen

inches out from the center of the hill.

Four inches of ordinary garden soil is

placed on top—H.
