Intensive cultivation is the key to the production of garden products of high quality._ An essential element in every suc- lcessful cooperative institution is the ‘ cooperative man. Without doubt thousands of infants are being constantly sacrificed upon the altar of ignorant feeding. Seemingly good farm management is the least expensive, the most profit- able, yet the rarest practice on Amer- . ican farms. We are‘satisfied to pay along price to the person who is able to properly blend a little sugar with appetiziing flavors. No doubt we would profit even more in satisfaction if we were able to blend with the serious side of life a right proportion of sociability and gen- iality. HE majority of Michigan farmers have not aswyet adopt- ed the policy of plow- ing down greeln crops. Green manuring will in time become a regular practice in the rotation program on every good farm. These crops not only aid in in- creasing tl1e available plant food in the soil, but they also improve the physical condition of the soil. Do It Regularly The greatest benefit comes to the, land from green manuring where leg- umes or nitrogen gatherers are plowed down. There are a number of legumes that can be so used. The list of famil- iar plants in this class includes (red ‘clover, alfalfa, alsike, sweet clover, soy-beans, field peas, vetch and cow- peas. Rye and buckwheat are two non-4 leguminous plants which are frequent- ly turned under and which usually give good results, although they do 'not add nitrogen to the soil. . While the benefits to be derived from this practice are difficult to meas- ure, every farmer who has experiment- ed with green manuring knows full well that this treatment prepares the soil for the production of more abundant crops. Perhaps the greatest benefit comes from the addition of. humus to - the soil. This not only aids in making ' alantfood more available to the crop, but it also increases the water~holding 'er extremes through this addition. I Comparatively little has been done in .this country with this type of soil building. The practice, however, is an old one and in time will be Common among us. The question is, why not, ' take advantage of the benefits now? This year hay is abundant and labor scarce, which may make it practicable for some farmers to from their forage if a small portion of the clov'er acreage is turned under and thereby invested in future crop produc- tion. HE time has ar- rived‘ when the products of the dairy farm must be mer¥ chandised. While the conclusions of our scientists have clearly demonstrated the absolute need of an abundance of milk, or milk products, in the human diet, the fact still remains that milk substitutes are still being distributed where the products of the dairyshould be sold. There is at least one reason for this. These substitute products are brought to the attention of the public in an at- tractive manner. The sanitary condi- tions under which they are manufac- tured are emphasized. The neat pack- age in which they are sold is visual- ized on billboards and the printed page. The best artists are employed to bring together every device of form and color in order to make the public believe that here is a class of products that should be in every respectable home. While the dairyman has the advan- tage oi the scientist’s testimony, he has failed to use this testimony in making his appeal \to those who buy the product. Consequently our dairy markets are suffering. The' present dairy-market situation is the result, not of an over-supply so much as it is an under—demand. The American dairy- man can help his cause much through the most insistent preaching of the virtues of his product. M arketihg Dairy Products T may be because my viewpoint is changed, but it seems to me thatthe boy of today is not as bad as when I was a young- He may not be bound to rules The Bad Boy ster. of conduct, as greater freedom and the greater edu- cational opportunities offered have en- couraged him into constructive play, or work. At least, it seems that the Peck’s Bad Boy stunts are not as prev- alent as they were in the past. There-are good reasons for this ap- parent change. One is that the old rule that children should be seen and not heard is as much out of style as the old leg-of—mutton sleeves that the women used to wear. Instead, we have come to realize that the boy is the coming man and is anxious to do some manly work as an outlet for his youth- ful energies. Another is that you do not have to be bewhiskered and gray- headed nowadays to be recognized in accordance to your ability. In Chicago they have taken special interest in the boy through the estab- lishment of a boys’ Week. Through this work they have found that the boys have responded in unexpected good measure whemthey made him re- alize that he was somebody. Delin- quency among boys has decreased about twenty per cent since this move: 'ment was startqi. In view of these facts, we beseech you that if you have what you call a bad boy, or know of one, please do not consider him had, but instead, help him find himseIfI. The energies he now W realize better . in my time, but his man When they have and the propon' outlet for their activities. ERE is. a. contest , put on in a west- ern county, which is designed to encourage t h e introduction 0 f pure-bred sires. The contest continues through the calendar year of 1922. Any community wishing to enter appoints a person to report all sires brought into the community, giv- ing the names of buyers and sellers and the ”registry Inumber of each ani- mal. The county agent gets the names of all participants in the various com- munities. Credits are given for every pure-bred sire of any age brOught Iinto the com- munity during the contest amd for ev- ery pure-bred sire of breeding age bought 0; exchanged within the coun- ty. A scale of points is allotted to each type of animal, the more expen- sive sires being allowed a larger credit than the 1eSs expensive ones. The standing of each community in the county is published each month, and the final standing is determined by comparing the total number of points accumulated by each community with the number of persons listed therein, A breeders’ cup is offered for the com- munity installing the greatest percent- age of_purebred sires during the year. ‘ A ' Unique Contest . HE women folks are preparing for the annual church picnic. For a long term of years we have attended these affairs and many times we have come home completely tired out. But when the next Season comes around we seem just as eager to go as we did on the preceding years. We think parents generally should look'favorably upon these outings. While we hawe snotJIad in mind so much, our own pleasure as we prepared and hustled to get out with the crowd, we have always felt that this free mingling with neighbors and friends was every bit worth while. There can be no question but that the community is much better off because the folks get acquainted with each other on the less serious side of their natures. Then, too, spending the day trying to help the boys out with their base ball game or the girls with their races certainly brings 'old Father Time to a halt for a moment and helps us to smooth down to some degree at least a few of the wrinkles that are gather- ing on our/ brow. The real purpose ofthe day is to give the boys and girls a good time. As I look back. over life the days that I had off for trips to the lake with my friends stand out in boldrelief against the long days of hard work. Remem- bering this we feel it a privilege to be instrumental in putting into the.lives of the boys and girls of our day and roomuinnity as many of these bright spots as we can. The Annual Picnic ' SURVEY. of the Our Pig Crop? country was made on May 1 by the Federal. Department of Agrié culture through the agency ofthe rural mail carriers. Each carrier received reports from fifteen farmers on his route. These reports were compiled for the general report. The result. indicates a net increase. of 14.5 per cent in’ the number of young pigs produced this spring over a year ago. This report covers the number of hogs and not weight. ‘Records show that the average weight of hogs mar- ‘y-five-por wgaaity of the soil and decreases the uses for badness will produce good. no- ,. rapidity of evaporation.

I. Just what effect‘ this substantial in- crease in the spring pig crop 'will have .upon the hog markets this fall cannot be definitely forecasted. Much will de- pend upon crops. The fact, however, that the. present storage supplies of. meats are considerably below normal should overcome to a considerable de- gree this increased supply of pigs. . Ougflto Oratory .

High pressure means a fine mist which thor- oughly covers every square inch of leaf surface. The greater the pressure the greater the yield. b. Use Three Nozzles to the Row.—— . One should spray downward on top of the vines and one from each side in- ward and upward. This is important. One nozzle spraying downward will cover only the upper side of the leaves. into spraying, protect the lower side as well as the upper side of the leaves. Three nozzles to the row correctly ar- ranged will give twice the yield from spraying, other things being equal, to be obtained from only one nozzle to the row. c. Use Correct Type of Sprayer.— Small hand or knapsack sprayers are satisfactory on small plantings up to about one acre. They should always be provided with a short extension rod and angle nozzle so as to spray the underside of the leaves. Barrel spray- ers often give very good results on plantings up to about four or five acres. Not more than two i‘OWS should be sprayed at a time, using three noz- zles to the row. Traction Sprayers are 1111 most gen- . eral use. All makes are not satisfac- tory, however. Be sure the machine has a large pressure chamber and a. pressure gauge. Don’t waste money on a low pressure machine—it won’t pay. (1. Use Enough.—~D0n’t skimp on the spray material. A machine that will only deliver twenty-five gallons per acre is not worth having. All parts of the vine cannot be thoroughly covered with less than fifty gallons per acre, and ‘when they get large, one hundred gallons or even more will be necessary ,to do a thorough job. Double the amount of material per acre and you will almost double the yield and the net profit from spraying. Keepvines covered throughout the growing sea- son with a protective coating of spray. Use the Right Material. A good spraying material should meet the following requirements: 1. It should mix easily with water—- to save time. ‘ 2. It should remain in suspension for a long time—that indicates good me- chanical condition. 3. It should be so fine that it will Inot clog the fine nozzles and fine noz- (Continued on page 4). T fie Ext/272g of 102722 0077277225520” 0fflgr2cz2/272m/ I22q222ry HE final report of the Joint Com- mission of Agricultural Inquiry, which will soon be presented to - congress, contains much information of" direct interest to farmers. Discuss- ing that part of the report which re . lates to the wide margin between the '~..prices received by the farmer and the . .prices paid by the consumer for fruits and vegetables, Congressman Sydney Anderson, chairman of the commis: “sion, says: ‘,‘In the first place, our in- vestigation pretty thoroughly disposes 'ofrthe constalntly recurring popular myth about wanton destruction of per- ishable produce in order to boost the Lprice. One reason for the wide spread etween consumers" and producers’ woes for fruits and vegetables has been found in lack of terminal market -~';facilities.’j, While the movement of {fruits and vegetables has increased ' tour-foldin the last twenty years, most ’01: the terminal markets have long .éa-ince outgrown their facilities. T'CAs an example of what happens to. the farmer’s product in. the way of costs and profits- before it reaches the family table, Congressman Anderson mentions bread. “Our inquiry reveals the fact that about fifty cents out‘of each dollar the consumer pays for bread is absorbed in the cost of dis- tribution, while the farmer receives only 29.6 cents in the local market for the wheat needed to. produce the loaves delivered. ’ ‘ “The farmer’s wheat is the substan: tial raw material element from which bread'is made, but it‘must be trans- ported, handled through elevators, graded, sold to the miller and convert- ed into flour before it is acceptable raw ~material to the manufacturing baker. These combined services dur- ing the period of our survey cost an average of 8.4 cents. The average cost of manufacturing the flour into bread was 10.16 cents of the dollar the con- sumer. pays for bread.” The commission did not find that the manufacturing baker exacts an undue profit in taking the 5.3 cents from the consumer’s dollar for manufacturing bread amd distributing it to the retail- er, but “it would appear,”-says Mr. Anderson, “that the retailer’s operat- ing expense of 15.76 cents out of the dollar the consumer pays for bread should be reduced by improvement of methods.” In 1913 the producer received an av- erage of 90.1 cents out of the dollar the consumer paid for fresh beef, after paying 3.9 cents for transportation, feed and commissions. In 1916 the pro- ducer received an average of 99.4 cents out of the dollar the consumer paid for fresh beef after paying four cents for transportation, feed and com- missions. In 1921 the producer receiv- ed an average of 67.7 cents out of the dollar the consumer paid for fresh beef after paying 5.3 cents for trans- portation, feed and commission. The packer paid an average of seventy- three cents live cost, and 25.1 cents for selling, transportation and packing, making a total of 88.1 cents. He sold fresh beef to the retailer at 78.8 cents and sold by—products for 10.8 cents,‘ making a total of 89.6 cents, thereby realizing a profit of 1.5 cents. The re- tailer paid 78.8 cents and had an op- erating cost of 18.5 cents and a profit of 2.7 cents, equalimg the one hundred cents which the consumer paid for the fresh beef. In the case of meats the by-products are an important item, explaining to some extent the high percentage the producer receives of the consumer’s dollar. In regard to the profits made by re- tailers Mr. Anderson says the report will show that clothing dealers took their largest‘profit from the consum- er’s dollar in 1913. The report will show that the average profit of cloth- ing retailers during the entire period, 1913 to 1921, was 6.10 cents per dollar of sales. The hardware profits for the same period averaged 5.35, with 8.3 cents per dollar of sales as the peak in 1916.

FOUNDING 0F FRAN'KENTROST CELEBRATED. N epoch in Michigan history took place on June 12, when the sev- enty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Frankentrost was celebrated. This celebration had special significance in that there , were present ,six of the pioneers who left Germany seventy- five years ago to come to the wilderv ness of Saginaw Valley to find relig- ious freedom. These six founders of Frankentrost were George Abraham, Ernest Reinbold, George Reimbold, Margaret Kipfmiller, Leonard Schnell and John Bluemlein. The seventh sur- vivor, Theodore Reinhold, was unable to attend the celebration. Hundreds of prosperous farmers, descendants of the original twenty families, spent the day in celebration and in listening to stories of hardship and pioneering experiences. They came in automobiles over well-kept roads, but their ancestors, seventy-five years ago, came in crude wagons over uncharted trails. FARM ACCOUNTING BECOMING POPULAR. HE Office of States Relations Ser- vice reports great activity in farm management demonstration work, and especially is this true of farm account schools. According to H. M. Dixon, over 800 farm account schools, with an attendance of 20,000, were held in 1921. The county agents’ reports show that TWO 1n ONE Lighting And Cooking Service For the FARM HOME Write for Actual Estimate of cost in your home. Night Commander Lighting Co. Jackson, Michigan _ 111 Michigan armor mntlrltlu 1111mm were distributed; 519 counties report- ed 18, 448 books kept, and 444 counties reported 8, 454 farmers assisted in sum-1 marizing their accounts. The county agents further report from 237 coun- ties that 2,972 farmers made changes in their buglness as a result of keep- ing accounts. Most of the accounting and farm mahagement schools are put on during 'the‘ late fall, winter, and early spring months. Mr. Dixon says these schools have become the most satisfactory’ method yet in use in teaching farmers the various uses'and values of farm accounts and giving them facté as a better basis for-good thinking along farm management lines. “On many farms throughout the United States? says Mr. Dixon, “the largest opportunity for improving 'the farm business with the capital and 1a- bor available is through, the improve- ment of the live stock. According to the United States Census the average amount of milk produced per cow was 3,113 pounds in 1910 and 3,406 pounds in 1920, the wool per sheep was five and one-half pounds in 1910 and six and one-half pounds in 1920. With these averages, considering the great numbers that are below the average and then taking into account the pro— duction secured on the better man- aged farms, the great opportunity for improvement is apparent." A GOOD CONSERVATION PRO- GRAM. R. CHARLES GARFIELD, Grand Rapids, long identified with the conservation movement in this state, has outlined for the State Department of Agriculture a platform in relation to conservation which is worthy of con- sideration. First of all, Mr. Garfield desires “a state survey that shall en- able our commonwealth through its government to meet evenly the people who are constantly desiring to beat the state.” These, speculators should be met with facts “so that the man who came to the state with a. proposition knew more about the land he desired News of the ~chk Wednesday, June 21.

COUNTY AGENT ACCOMPLISH.- MENTS. HE county agents have been doing" things worth while the past year. County agents in 736 counties reported that 6,590 buildings other than houses were Constructed or remodeled accord‘ ing to plans furnished. The agents from 400 counties reported that 10,964; farmers reported adopting cropping, live stock, or complete farming Sys? tems according to recommendations. From 850 counties the agents reported that 83,983 farm laborers were sup- plied to meet the labor demands, and 4,995 farmers in 474 counties were as— _ sisted in securing tractors, sprayers,. ditching machines, or other machinery: to aid in farm productions. ‘ ESSENTIALS OF POTATO SPRAY- ING. c (Continued from page 3). zles are necessary to get good distri- bution. 4.

To give the best‘ results a spraying material should combine a good fungi- cide with a strong poison. The poison alone does only half the job—it only} kills bugs. The fungicide is often far more im- portant because that part of the mate- rial controls serious diseases, like po- tato blight and the accompanying tu-v ber rot. It controls such insects as the little green leaf-hopper and the re- sulting hopperburn or tipburn, as it is sometimes called. The fungicide in the material also helps control flea- beetles. And, moreover, if it is of the right kind, the fungicide frequently in- creases the iyield by as much as twen- _ ty—five to fifty bushels of potatoes to the acre. to the Stimulating action of the copper on the foliage. These are reasons why most agricul- " tural authorities agree that it does not pay to spray potatoes and most vege- I ' table and fruit crops with a poison alone.

The general level has remained *‘ 5‘ almost censtant for twelve menths, so “that we seem to have reached a point ' eof-‘stability for the time being.

The fertility of her fields is _ depleted and her machinery and work i .’ animalsare inadequate. .Her seed is ' of poor 'quality. But despite this her agriculture will be more nearly normal ' . than will her manufacturing and in- ,dustrial operations. While Europe “America, the low ebb of her manufac- tures will leave her without the means , _ HOSE who havenot sent in ‘ I ’ g their applications for car regi’s‘ f . ‘ _ trations in the two tours, for i . - August should do so as soon as possi- ," ble.’ The Niagara Falls tour list is ' Well filled up already, and there are ,to date twenty-three cars registered to go on ‘both the Niagara and Mackinac j’tOurs. Those who go on the Niagara tour will not have any extra fee to’ pay to go on the Mackinac tour. Many tourists have registered‘for ;the third year in succession. They say they have had. such fine times, and learned so much about the history and geography of the country outside, and at such little expense, that they are planning to take such a vacation, as these tours afford, every year, if pos- ' sible. The camps on the Niagara tour will be at Fremont, Ohio, fair grounds; Akron; Grove City, Pa.; Fredonia, New , ,York, and three nights at Niagara ' 'iFalls. Our camp there will ‘be on the high bluff at Lewiston, and the Niag- Hara Falls Chamber of Commerce and Niagara Pomona Grange will receive us and have charge of our entertain- ment. One day will be spent in a boat trip across Lake Ontario to Toronto. The Toronto Beard of Trade, Motor. Club- and other officials, will give us an informal reception when we land at the dock. Then we will have dinner and be taken in sight-seeing cars ound the city. _ camp over Sunday at Fredonia “The probabilities are in favor of a. inight gladly buy food products from' of Prlces to pay for the good she wants. “The,stat’e of European manufac- tures will be determined primarily by the unsettlement of financial and po- litical conditions there. But in part it will be hampered by the attempt of American manufactures to exclude the products of the European mills by tar- iff walls. This will serve merely to lessen the purchasing power of Europe and to prevent the price of American agricultural products from rising. Tar- iff walls may serve to keep these goods out Of the American market, and so may protectthc American manufactur- er against the direct competition of the European mills, but they cannot maintain the, price of our farm prod- ucts when these must be sold -to a continent whose means of payment are inadequate. And the American farmer is'the largest customer of our home manufactures. If the purchasing pow- er of the farmer is reduced, the price. which he can pay for the products of our factories must decline in a corres- - pending degree. 1 “If the hypothesis is sound that the value of the product of manufactures and farming move together; and if the disorganization of European policies and currency prevents the revival of its manufactures for another year, the prices of our manufactured products will fall to the level of our farm prod- ucts. Whether agricultural prices will decline still further is a difficult ques- tion. The likelihood is that they will. Never in the history of American ag- riculture were the agricultural college and experiment stations working so energetically to induce farmers to adopt the best cultural methods known to agricultural science.” J - The 1922 Auto Tours 5 . ~_ By].

But we can not churn butter. VThis cow milks about thirty-six to thirty-eight quarts a. day and I would like to keep her if I could only get her. milk to churn. I have tried different kinds of feeds but that does not help any—J. D. The trouble you describe is probably not due to the fact that your cow is getting unsuitable feed. At this sea- sOn of the year there should be ideal conditions as far as feeding is con- cerned. Cream from the milk of one cow is often difficult to churn and in other cases the cream from several cows may be difficult to churn because of contamination that gets into the cream, often after the best methods of hand- ling. Cream that will not churn, hangs together and does not break up into the granules that may be gathered to- gether in the mass of butter-fat known as butter. In order to churn it, it is necessary to break up the mass in some way. You might try salting the cream liberally before churning. The salt will not affect the butter but will- pass out in the buttermilk, making the buttermilk too salty for use. If this does not prove effective you might heat the cream, after ripening, to a temperature of 160 to 165 and hold it at that temperature for‘fifteen or twen- ty minutes and cool and allow to stand two oh‘three hours before chum- ing.—Waldron. WARRANTY. I purchased a. cow on the strength of a typewritten statement hanging by her side. This statement was that she was to freshen April 14. I Wanted a new milch cow, so purchased. I now find that the cow is not coming in at all. She is dry and of no value to me. I paid $237. 50, because she was what I wanted according to the statement The seller offers only to breed her again. ——E. E. V. After delivery and acceptance of the thing purchased, ordinarily the buyer can not repudiate the contract and re- cover the price-paid, but is confined to his action on damages for breach of thewarranty. The measure of dam- ages is the difference between the market value of the thing promised at the time of delivery, amd the value of the properly delivered, but in some instances special damages may be re- covered—Rood.

I have a. piece of land I would like to sow to alfalfa in July. I had the soil tested for lime and Was told it would take two and one-half tons of limestone per acre. Now it is a long -way to draw the lime and I haven't the time to do it, even if I could get it, which is doubtful. .I would like to kmow how much hydrated lime would be necessary to get a, good stand of alfalfa. ——J K. The1e is no difierence in the. result obtained in using hydrated lime or ground limestone, on soil. Either will correct'the acidity of the soil it used in sufficient quantities. You understand that in burning the limestone the driven off, making caustic lime of it and reducing its weight. So that a ton of limestone after it is banned will only weigh, speaking generally, about two-thirds f a ton. In other words, if your soil needs two and one-half tons of ground limestone per acre, about one and one- -half tons of hydrated [him will be all that you- will need to use to get the same result. It would not be necessary to use so much hydrated lime the first year be- cause hydrated lime is so fine that it is all available, and a ton of hydrated. lime will immediately correct more soil aciditythan a ton of ‘ground lime- stone because part of the ground lime- stone will not be in Condition to cor- ' rect soil acidity until the second year.

BETTER COWS. :ATA supplied by ninety-six dow- , . testing associations in various parts of the country have been studied I and classified. Because of better feed- 'ing, breeding and care, the cows owned by association members are superior to the general run of cows. The esti- ”j" mated productidn per head of all the dairy cows in the country is about 4,000 pounds of milk and 160 pounds of butter-fat per year. The cows in the testing associations do about fifty per cent better than this, producing an average of 6,077 pounds of milk and I 248. pounds of butter-fat. _ Figures based on the records of 18,014 individual cows show that as butter-fat production increases from I . 100 to 400 pounds there was a regular ‘ increase of about $16 in income over ,lfeed cost per ‘cow for. every fifty ”pounds additional butter-fat produced. As the yield of butter— fat increased from 109 pounds to 396 pounds, the re- turns for the dollar expended for feed increased from thirty-five cents to - $1.52. HIGHIPRODUCERS BEST PROFIT GETTERS. 0.. . OWS having an average milk pro- , duction of 3,250 pounds show an average income over the cost of feed of $32.25. While cows producing 13,250 ‘ . . . pounds of, milk show an income of $218.19 above the. feed cost. Looking at it another way, the cows in the lat- ter group produced'four times as much as those in the first group and their average income over cost 01; feed was nearly seven times as great. FIGHTING THE FLY. HERE are many ways of combat- ing the fly nuisance. On farms, the manure piles are probably the chief source of fly infection. The use of chemicals in destroying the larvae of the fly in manure piles-is one of the important ways of keeping this insect under subjection. However, one must be cautious inasmuch as a too liberal use of some of the chemicals will de- stroy the fertilizing value of the ma- nure. A study by the department of agri- culture shows that the use of one-half pound of powdered hellebore to ten gallons of water will prevent the de. velopment of fly larvae in eight bush- els of manure. This material has no deleterious effect upon the fertililing value of the manure. Borax is another . material that can be used to advan- tage. Too much, however, will affect plalnt. The department recommends the 'use of 0.62 pounds for the treat- mentrof eight bushels of manure. 0th- er precautions are clean premises, screened manure pits, outdoor fly traps and closed garbage cans. National Holstein Meeting By J. H. Frandsm OLSTEIN conventions have ‘not always been noted for accom- plishing constructive work. Too 4 often much of their time has been oc- cupied with politics and in settling personal differences to the exclusion of essential. things. In this respect the VThlrty-seventh Annual, Convention of the Holstein-Friesian Association of _ America held in Kansas City June 5- :.‘leO. set a new precedent. It was f‘a convention that accom- Ending a long drawn out fight by modernizing its constitu- demonstrating the efficiency of the delegate system; Show and putting on a dairy program which surpassed anything previously ‘= attempted by a Holstein convention; providing adequately for Holstein ex- 3 tension work; providing a better basis for the judging of Holstein amimals; aiding through its-cooperative sale in the distribution of ‘about tWO hundred 300d animals in the big southwest staging a dairy , would permit the most eflicient admin— istration, but it was not until this year at Kansas City that they succeeded. It was over this particular matter that the principal interest of this conven- tion centered. It came to a head in connection with the Hackney amend- ment, which in effect changed the con- stitution so that the secretary, the treasurer and» the superintendent of advanced registry shall be elected by the board of directors, instead of by the delegates. In speaking of this amendment, for- mer presidentlD. D. Aitken, of Mich- igan, argued that the board of direct- ors should be in a position to control the activities of the secretary and treasurer and that these officers should be responsible to the board for their acts, as far as the association is con- cemed’. “The board of directors,” said- Mr. Aitken, “must be an authority over the employes of the association and if they are spreading virus, the board must be in a position to tell them to cease. .Put the board in a. position where it can control and govern the employee. All ,that the officials have to do is to make good to be re-elected.” The vote was overwhelmingly in fa- vor of- the amendment. This presum ably ends a fight which has been car- ' tied on for almost ten years. ‘ Continued on page 17). ——9- u 1 Cl 1 .

The deep red buildings of the Argonaut tunnel—4. great, cries-crossing hole through the hills that once connected with more than thirty mines and their feverish activities—were denuded of their rust and lack ‘of repair. The steam from the air-compressing engine, furnishing the necessary motive power for the drills that still worked in the hills, curled upward in billowy, rainbow-like coloring. The scrub pines of the al- most barren mountains took on a fluff- ‘ ier, softer tone; the jutting rocks melt- ed into their own shadows, it was a picture of peace and of memories. And it had been here that Thornton Fairchild, back in the nineties, had dreamed his dreams and fought his fight. in one of the innumerable canons that led away from the little town on every side—that'Thornton Fairchild had fol- lowed the direction of “float ore” to its resting place, to pursue the vagrant vein through the‘ hills, to find it at last, 0 gloat over it in his letters to Beamish and then to—what? A sudden cramping caught the son's heart, and it pounded with something akin to fear. The old foreboding of his father’s letter had come upon him, the mysterious thread'of that elusive, intangible Thing, great enoughi to break the will and resistance of a strong man and turn him into a weak- ‘ ling—silent, white-haired—sitting by a window, waiting for death. What had it been? Why had it come upon his father? How could it be fought? All so suddenly, Robe1t Fairchild had re- alized that he was in the country of the inviSible enemy, there to struggle against it without the slightest knowl- edge of what it was or how it could be combated. His forehead felt sud- denly damp and cold. He brushed away the beady perspiration with a gesture almost of anger, then with a look of relief, turned in at a small white gate toward a big, rambling building which proclaimed itself, by the sign on the door,- to be Mother Howard’s Boarding House. A moment of waiting, then he faced a gray-haired, kindly faced woman, who stared at him ,with wide-open eyes as she stood, hands on hips, before him.‘ “Don’t you tell me I don’t know you!” she burst forth at last. “I’m afraid you don’t.” “Don’t I?” Mother Howard cocked her head. “If you ain’t a Fairchild, I’ll never feed another milner corned beef and cababge as long as I live. Ain’t you now?” she persisted, “ain’t you a Fairchild?” \ AL ACR ES——A/’.r Fertilizer Prove: Up Again. K Goes I JUST PLANTED THI5\I cons YESTERDAY AND NOW LoOK Arrrl SOME FERTILIZER! It had been here—somewhereI The man laughed in spite of himself. “You guessed it.” "You’re Thornton Fairchild’s boy!” She had reached out for his handbag, and .then, bustling about him, drew him into the big “parlor" with its old- fashioned, plush—covered chairs," its picture album, its glass-covered statu- ary on' the old ,onyx mantel. “Didn’t I know you the minute I saw you? Land, you’re the picture of your dad! Sakes alive, how is he?" 0 l Fairchild it wasn’t the truth. “He just had a little ,bad luck out here, that was all. His—his mine pinched out ‘just when he thought he’d struck it rich—or something like that.” "Are you sure that is the truth ?” For'a second they faced each other, Robert Fairchild serious and intent, Mother Howard looking at him with eyes defiant, yet Compassionate. Sud» denly they twinkled, the lips broke from their straight line into a smile, BO 1/" OF MINE By Martha Peterson A sun-beamdaneed through the window—pane And opened your big blue eyes again To call you into the garden to play Where the fairies frolic at the break of day— .

But your blue eyes drOOp—you are weary of play Anthhe little bright sun-beam has scampered away; Come! let me fondle your tousled head And tuck you into your slumber bed—- Little tired boy of mine. There was a moment of silence. Fair- child found himself suddenly halting and boyish as he stood before her. ' “He’ s—he’ s gone, Mrs. Howard.” “Dead?” She put up both hands. “It don’t seem possible. And me re- membering him looking just like you, full of life and strong and—" “Our pictures of him are a good deal different. I——I guess you knew him when everything was all irght for him. Things were different after he got home again.” ' Mother Howard looked quickly about her, then with a swift motion closed the door. “Son," she asked in a low voice, “didn’t he ever get over it?” “It?” Fairchild felt that he stood on the threshold of discoveries. “What do you mean?” ,. “Didn’t he ever tell you anything, Son?” “No. 1—” “Well, there wasn’t any need to." But Mother Howard’s \sudden embar- rassment, her change of color, told (WISH I COULD INVENTA WEED leLER,Too! Al Get: Lo‘u‘ W/zeiz Hi; Com Get: Tall. and a kindly old hand reached out to take him by the arm. “Don’t you stand there and try to tell Mother Howard she don’t know what she's talking about!" came in, tones of mock» severity. “Hear me? Now, you get up them steps and wash "up for dinner. Take the first room on the right. It’s a nice, cheery place. And get that dust and grime off of you. The dinner bell will ring in about fifteen minutes, and they’s always a rush for the food. So hurry!” _ In his room, Fairchild tried not to think. His brain was becoming too crammed with queries, with strange happenings and with the aggravating mysticisms of the life into which his father’s death had thrown him to per- mit clearness hf vision. Even in Moth- er Howard, he had not been able to escape it; she told all too plainly, both by her actions and her words, that she knew something of the mystery of the » past—and had falsified to keep the knowledge from him. It was too galling for thought. Rob- ert Fairchild hastily made his toilet" I then answered the ringing of the din- ner bell, to be introduced to strong- shouldered men who gatherd about the long table‘s; Cornishmen, who talked an “htless” language, ruddy-faced Americans, and a sprinkling of Eng- lish, all of whom conversed about things which were to Fairchfld as so «much Greek-mot "levels” and t‘stops” and “wines," of “skips” and “men- ways" and “raises,” which means noth- ing to the man Who must yet master them all, if he‘were to follow his aim bition. Some ate with their knives, meeting the'food halfway from their plates; some acted and spoke in, a manner ’revealing a college education and the poise that it gives. .But all were as’one. all talking together; the operator no more enthusiastic than the man whose sole recompense was the five dollars a day he received far drill- » ing powder holes; all happy, all opti- mistic, all engrossed in the hopes and dreams that only mining can give. And among them Mother Howard moved, . getting the latest gossip from each, giving her views. on every problem and incidentally seeing that the plates were filled to the satisfaction of even the hungriest. ‘ As for Robert Fairchild, he spoke but seldom, except to acknowledge the introductions as Mother Howard m‘ade him knowm to each of his table mates. But it was not aloofness; it was the fact that these men were talking of. things which Fairchild longed to lonow, but failed, for the moment, to master. From the first, the newcomer had liked the men about him, liked the rugged- ness, the mingling of culture with the lack of it, liked the enthusiasm, the muscle and brawn, liked them all—— all but two. Instinctively, from the first mention of his name, he felt they were watch- ing him, two men who sat far in the rear of the big dining room, older than the other occupants, far less inviting in appearance. One was small, though chunky in build, with sandy hair and ' eyebrows; with weak, filmy blue eyes over which the lids blinked constantly. The other, black-haired with streaks of gray, powerful in his build, andwith a walrus-like mustache drooping over ' hard lips, was the sort of antithesis naturally to be found in the company of the smaller sandy complexioned man. Who they were, what they were, Fairchild did not know, except from the general attributes which told that they too followed the great gamble of? ‘L mining. But one thing was certain; they watched him throughout the meal; they talked about him in low tomes and ceased when Mother How~< 4—By Fran/é R. Lee}. lCAN'T . - MAGINE WHATS IDID You Lee IN THE.

In his mind ' was the cer- ' minty that these two men knew him— "Or at least knew about him—and that they diddnot relish his presence. Nor were" his suspicions long in being ful- filled.

I ~ ‘ “I don't know what you’re doing "a - I here,” came shortly, “but I Want to." ‘7 ' ' Fairchild straightened. "There isn’t. ‘ ‘ much to tell you,” he answered quiet- .

This illustrates a fact that is keeping many doctors busy these days—human bodies, like chaises, break down because some part isn’t as strong as the others. Very often it’s because of ill-balanced food, lack- ing in some important element of nutrition. This is especially true of ills developed in childhood, and carried on through life.

A further advantage in canning is that the housewife has the food all cooked and ready for serving, except perhaps in some cases, season- ing and sauces are to be added. The housewife who really maps out a can- ning program before she begins, may fill her' canning shelves with a variety of canned foods, suchas vegetables, fruits and meats as will answer the problem of “What shall I have for dinner?” very satisfactorily. It is always a wise plan to can in terms of the family rather than in terms of the food at hand. Too often the housewife will can. in abundance those products which she has at hand the needs of the family. For instance, we willus'ay she has a large supply of tomatoes and these are canned in large amounts, even'though the family eats this vegetable sparingly. ~ Every housewife should plan her canning program as regards the likes and dislikes as well as the size of her family. She should decide from her experience of former years as to the amount of canned products of each va~ riety the family will consume and ad- here quite rigidly to this program. By this method a. greater degree of effi- ciency in the daily menu will be ob- tained. 3 Product Per Person for Eight Months. 1. Greens, spinach, dandelions, chard amd other greens, five quarts. 2. Tomatoes, ten quarts. 3. Other vegetables, peas, beans, beets; carrots, etc., fifteen quarts. \ 4. Fruits, .(including jellies), thirty quarts. ' , 5. Meats. Fresh meat in winter, canned for spring, summer and fall), thirty quarts. This makes a total of ninety quarts per person. Ratio of Uncooked to Canned Products.

In proceeding with such a program a “canning budget” may be found to be of great value. Perhaps this brings .to mind something relative to 3. finan- ,cial estimate .of our canning pregram. .However, this is not what is inferred, .lbutrather an estimate scientifically fworked out on the amount required by .the average person of each of the five lgroups of camned products. The above 1budget is one worked out by extension workers at the Michigan Agricultural College. This is much lower than a .similar one worked out at Washington, but is preferred because of its prdc- ltical value. The “budget” is planned 'on a per person basis, add the amount . of canned products, for eight months 111 without giving careful consideration to -' A Home Canning Budget Suggertzom for the Famz/y Program each of the five groupsmust be multi- ‘ plied by the number in each family. Enough vegetables are allowed for four servings, with the fruits for five per week. During the remaining days, one must make out with pitted vegetables, such as cabbage, rutabagas, onions, etc., and dried and stored fruits, such as prunes, apples, and peaches. TH E HAN DY STOOL.

It can also be made at home with a. little ingenuity and ‘time, at a small expense. It slamds about two feet high, just the right height to do work at a cabinet, sink or work-table. It is well braced and strong, in order that it may be used as a small stepladder.» The two steps, placed at an angle on one side, are very handy when anything is just a little too high to reach.

"‘No "man .Iivoth unto himself." “Some society women of London once declared that they would have nothing to do with the poor and outcast of the. city. But an old woman near by, liv- ing in a garret, proved that she was of the same human stun? as they; for she _was seized with typhus fever, and they t00kfit from .her, and died. .I have been reading a good book this morn- ing, which. I. am glad to recommend. It is “America Faces the Future,” by Dur- ant Drake, (Macmillan). There are thought~provoking chapters in it, such; as “Work for All,” and “Health for All," and “Ed- ucation for All.” It is a new way of teaching that we are our brother’s keeper. For in- stance, there is the fact re-stated that ought to be m o r e w i d e l y known, that of all our people over ten years of age, seven per cent can neither read nor write, while in Swit- zerland it is onehalf of one _per cent, and in Germany; it is three one-hun- dredths of one per cent. Secretary Lane, said that the .eco— nomic loss each year from illiteracy is not less than eight hundred million dollars. About half of the children who enter the public schools reach the ”fourth grade; 3. little more than a quarterrget to the eighth grade, and less than five in a hundred graduate from high school. About two per cent enter college, and only a fraction of these graduate. Am I my brother’s keeper? ' RAKE’S book brings out many other facts more striking than these. He says that the average lon- gevity of the rich isdouble that of the poor; that of the well-to-do being ten deaths per. thousand, while the death- rate‘ among well-paid laborers is fifteen per ,thousand, and that of cheaper la- bor is thirty-five. ,“The great predis- posing cause of premature death is poverty." Secretary of Commerce Red- field said that the United States could save the lives of five hundred "thou- sand people per year, if it would. The deaths in American industries is ap- palling. Forty-eight thousand men lost their lives in the A. E. F. during the nineteennnonths we were in the Great War. But during the same period thirty-live thousand men, women and : children were killed in mines, factor- ies, or on the railroads. Hence, when a man agitates for safety devices, to prevent workmen from being caught in machinery, he is his brother’s keep er. Or if he is working for clean poli- ‘ tics, which will elect honest and efli- Cient men' (or women) ”to ofiice, he is his brother's keeper. Or if he is ex- posing the profiteering of manufactur- . .4 ers or urging the passing of a' bill to .“prevent child-labor,‘in all these ways, he is playing the part of a watchman, as Ezekiel taught, but in ways that Ezekiel never thought of. So much for the message this book, which bears * directly on what we are considering. Four or five years ago a" little wom- an In Indiana began to talk about cer~ tall: slum conditions in at least one She was a busy ma, as most mothers are, but her ~ of; duty Would not let her ignore rot or Our leeély SerMon—-By N A. Mchme [ s Keeper? and moral taint. People said it wasn’t ‘80. Such places Were to be found only in Chicago and New York. She escort- ed them to these hateful spots, and convinced them. She pled with the legislature and a law was passed. She. was her sisters’ keeper, and the keeper of her sisters’ children. She was a most wakeful watchman. OME people haVe no such attitude of responsibility, and it seems im- possible to cultivate it in them. When there is talk of improving the moral . conditions of a community they say it can’t be done. Things were always so, and always will. Probably when the first settlers came to Michigan and be- gan to hew down the oaks and maples, the black bears said; “It can’t be done. Those trees have always been there and they always will. Our fathers sharpened their claws on those trees, and when the white men are all through, those trees will still be there, for us to sharpen our claws on.” Parents are the watchmen of their children, though one would not guess it, from the attitude of some parents. A father I know takes his son camp- ing with him. It is a splendid thing to do. Away from other distractions, they get together under the open sky. They sit by the camp fire and talk, things over, and get close to each oth- er- Such fathers are not likely to have serious misunderstandings with their sons. Water, forest, camp, the call‘of birds, the silence of the wilder- ness, are an ideal setting for forming friendships that last. The law of friendship as taught in the New Testament is the same law. “'1. have called you friends." We would not do some things we do if we thought of that more often. The Capi- tal tells a business man's experinece: "I was in the employ of-a big mer— chant in Detroit, as an oflice boy. I had beenwfaithful to my employer for six long months, and they seemed long months, too. He had never found fault with me. One day my little brother came chasing to me to inform me that my mother was very ill at home and asked me to come home for an hour or so at once. I took it up with my employer and he gruffly answered me by handing me a check as my pay up to that hour of'that week, saying that he hadn't time to consider the misfor- tunes of the women of the outlying districts of the city; he bade me fare- well and closed the door behind me." HIS naturally brings forward the responsibility of the church. The church is a watchman. Sometimes it 'is very unpopular, if it gives out warn- ings that are unwelcome to the ears of the guilty No institution has greater opportunity for playing the part that this great prophet described than the church of the living God. Happily the church is doing this very thing, in many communities. The suCCess of the watchman’s work depends on the willingness of the people to receive his warning. But he should give the message whether they receive it or not. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR JULY 2. SUBJECT: ~Ezeklel, of Israel. LESSONz—Ezekiel 2.1 to 3.27.

Some of them are in Ann Arbor, Detroit, and all over Monroe county. You see, my sister is a school teacher. She taught for nine years in different schools. ’ . . ‘ I hope to hear from you" soon.

Some may have had more words than some of the prize winners but when we com- pared them with Webster’s Standard -Dictionary, which we used as our guide, many of the words had to 'be eliminated from the count.

Possibly no exhibit attracted more attention from visitors than the one featuring the value of the pure-bred sire. Many a dairyman, who so farghas not been, quite convinced that he need- ed a pure-bred bull at the head of his herd, was found intently studying the illustrated material and copying in his own notebook information showing that in some herds there are scrub cows with an average annual milk production of only 3874.5 pounds of milk and am average butter-fat produc- tion of 192 pounds. Where a sire fifty . ~ ‘ L' threads with interested breeders ‘rela- There, was, much interest in “ the- per cent pure-bred heads the herd, the , next'generation of cows is found to have an average of 6,955 pounds of milk and 266 pounds of butterfat, or an increase of seventytnine per cent in milk yield and thirty-eight per cent increase in butter-fat yield. When a sire seventy-five per cent pure-bred is used, the result is an average milk production of 12,817 pounds, or an in- crease of 231 per cent, and 486.45 pounds of butter-fat, an increase of 153 per cent. These experiments were all with one herd. There were many other illustra- tions as striking as the one mentioned. This exhibit, showing the importance of the pure—bred bull, grading up the ,common dairy herd and improving grade herds, appealed tremendously to dairymen in the midwest country who are not so very old as dairy matters go. The youmg man‘ in charge of this work was kept busy answering inquir- ies relative to the kind of pure-bred sires to select, what they would cost and where they could be procured. Much of the information in this booth came from the experimental work of the Iowa Experiment Station. Mr. Fred Koenig, in charge of the Holstein Ex- tension Service, spent much time with the exhibit. . ' Government Exhibit. . The United States Dairy Division, assisted by the, HolsteimAssociation, arranged to have its fine exhibit, pre- viously used at the National Dairy Show, at this convention. This exhibit consisted of twenty-six booths, includ~ ing the entire government exhibit of last year’s National Dairy Show and two booths from the recent milk cam- In general in- terest and in educational value it was .one of the very best displays ever sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture, and contailned many valuable suggestions for the'dairymen of the great southwest. \ Nationat Dairy council and State 7 Dairy Exhibits. The National Dairy Council, under the supervision of M. O. Maughan, ex- hibited many things of interest not only to the milk producer, but' to the consumer of dairy products. “Full of ? :gheatta and pep," “Milk three times a "‘,day,”"‘My, but he’s a husky boy!

That no prizes be awarded except where merited. .‘ That noticeof all A. R. 0. records be filed with the fair secretary. That cows in the 305-day class be eligible for competition with cows hav- ing completed a full year’s record. That fair secretaries use greater care in checking all recOrds and ages of animals entered inn-various classes. That all discredits on the Holstein score card- be eliminated until more satisfactory score cards can be devel- oped and approved. The committee also secured the ser- vices of’ the sculptor, Mr. Gozo Kawa— mura, and the artist, S. E. Megaree. The former modeled a cow embodying the detailed suggestions of the com- mittee. The committee sought in this tangible way to fix definitely its ideas relative to Holstein type. Mr. Megaree portrayed on canvas the essential points of the Holstein cow as suggest- ed to him by the committee. When the committee’s plans have been ap- proved by the association, it is expect- ed that models and paintings embody- ing these suggestions will be available to colleges and extension departments and others interested in teaching live stock judging. The members of the committee having this work in charge are: W. S. Moscrip, Minnesota, chair— man; Ward Stevens, New York; R. E. Hager, Illinois; T. 1E. Eldeg Massachu— setts; Axel Hansen, Minnesota; H. H. Kildee, Iowa; A. C. Oosterhuis, Wis- consin, and W. H. Standish. Third Cooperative Sale. At the cooperative sale held in con- nection with the convention, 175 head of Holsteins coming from practically every state in the Union, were sold. The best price paid was for a forty- pound cow which sold for $3,200. The average for all animals sold was $470. The interesting feature of the sale was the fact' that practically all these animals went to buyers in Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas. If these ani- mals are as good as they looked, they will do a. lot of good missionary work in the southwest for Holstein breeders throughout the nation. Officers Elected. Officers for the coming year are as follows: President, Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, and promi- nent Holstein breeder at Oregon, Ill- inois; vice-president, John M. Kelley, of Wisconsin. members of the board of directors, W. S. Moscrip, of Minne- sota; W. G. Davidson and John A. Bell, Jr., of Pennsylvania; H. W. Nor- ton, Jr., of Michigan; E. B. Armstrong, of New York; G. E. Fox, of Illinois; T. E. Elder, of Massachusetts. After adjournment of the conven- tion, the new board met, transacting considerable routine business, and elected, according to the new constitu- tion provision, the following officers: Secretary, F. L. Houghton, of Ver= ment; treasurer, Wing R. Smith, New York; superintendent of advanced reg- istry, Malcolm H. Gardner. The convention had before it invita- tions from Grand Rapids, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; Richmond, Virginia, and Los Angeles, California, but decid- ed to hold its 1923 meeting in Cleve- land, Ohio. ‘ Missouri and Kansas Holstein breed- ers worked hard, and much credit is due these men for the success of the meeting- President Lowden well said, “This cenvention has had mere to say than Among , 15 0 . egg EDGAR OF DALMENY A NNO UNOEMENT In the breeding of pure bred Aberdeen Angus cattle, we have enjoyed a splendid measure of success.

WHEAT Dry afnd hot weather over the great- er part of the west and southwest was a prominent factor in an advance in all grain markets last week. The gov- ernment’s report confirmed premature ripening although in Kansas and Ok- lahoma only the late wheat was injur- ed. Nebraska suffered more than any other state. The crop in the Pacific Northwest also is being injured by the continuous drouth. Comprehensive private reports indicate that the win- ter wheat yield will be smaller than the government’s report on June 1. Conditions in the spring wheat terri- tory 'are favorable with the exception of parts of South Dakota into which the dry area extends, Gains in the spring wheat states will partly offset the loss in winter wheat during June. The prairie provinces of Canada have been suffering from dry weather, but at the close of the week rather general rains were reported. OATS Damage reports upon the oats crop are numerous and are coming from a wide range in the surplus states.,_The grain is heading on short straw and it is entirely possible that the crop will be no larger than that of 1921. CORN The corn crop is progressing favor~ ably although dry weather is already a factor and moisture will be needed in all sections soon to prevent injury. Northwestern lowa has been dry for a ,number of week-s and in that section the crop is already going backward. FEEDS Offerings of by-product feeds have dried, up and the decline has been checked, although the market is unset- tled. Demand is limited to immediate needs with the exception of bran, of » which heavy sales forrf‘uture shipment were made on the recent decline. If ar-drouth occurs buying will increase, otherwise the downward trend on the eat feeds may be resumed. POULTRY AND Execs . 1, 11' decline in the egg market result-‘ 135 ram excessive storagestocks and liberal fresh arrivals was checked last ewek. A little further downturn may take place but no drastic break is probable. Receipts decreased. about 15 per cent last weekend were only about, equal to the average of the three pre- ceding years. In the next sixty to nine- ty days receipts normally shrink about 50 per cent. This reduction in the supply should support the. market and holdings remains strong. leadeventually to an advance.

' BUTTER Prices for fine butter have been growing firm as it is generally believed that the peak of production has been passed. Storing demand has been suf- ficient to clean up the supply of the higher scores but undergrades were piling up rather steadily until last week when a. big export order for 87 to 89-score butter said to be for British account, was filled and the accumula- tions were cleaned up. With this sup" ply removed from the market, the top scores also became more firm. Prices on the four principal markets at the close of the week were the highest reached in June. Prices for 92-score fresh butter were as follows: Chicago 370; New York 380. In De- troit fresh creamery iln tubs sells for 3 4 ((1,334 1/2 c. WOOL All the Wildlness has left the wool market and slightly lower prices were in vogue last week. Mills apparently have provided for their needs in the next 'few months and are buying spar- ingly. Whether the domestic market will sag further. or not in the early future depends largely an the willing- ness of consumers to pay the higher prices for clothing re resented by the recent advances 9n c oth. The-»more distant outlook for prices after mills have used up part of their present HAY Receipts of hay, especially of the lower grades, havebeen in excess of the demand and prices are weak. = POTATOES The potato market has been Weak under receipts considerably above the average, although they are now falling off with old potatoes only a minor fac- tor. No. 1 Bliss Triumphs are quoted at $2.75@3.25 per 100 pounds in con- suming markets, with Irish Cobblers at $3.75@4.75 per barrel. BEANS Former prices are being sustained with holders confident that their small stocks can be moved at or above pres- ent levels. Foreign beans are showing up, but domestic, especially Michigam- grown, are particularly in demand. The acreage planted this year is Jarg- er than last, due to present good prices and to no hold-over, which producers believe will aid in keeping prices for the growing crop on _, an _ basis, regardless 0f any reasonable in- crease in this year’s production.

TEN-DOLLAR} STEER RETURNS. .The spread in cattle prices widened further last week. Choice corn-fed steers sold at the long-expected $10'at Chicago, while common and medium steers continued the. decline started two weeks ago. Long-fed cattle are be- coming scarcer right along but there is an abundance of light short-fed steers which scarcely avoid competi- tion with grassers. Heavyweights are capturing the premium at present as prime yearlings have not sold above‘ $9.75. This discount may become even more marked as summer advances. . Grass fat steers from Texas are nu— merous on southwestern markets and this beef is showing up-in the east. Its arrival is tardy, otherwise the low- grade steers would not ‘have sold so well in the last sixty days. Another factor has been the limited stock of frozen beef carried over from last fall. ' Holdings_on June 1 were only 37,426,- 000 pounds, compared with a six-year average on that date of 125,000,000 pounds. Cows and heifers have declined $1 @125 in some of the southWestern markets. The trend has been and is still downward in the middlewest also. The dressed veal market declined $1@ 2 last week and values. on the hoof at Chicago sank $1." RecoVery can be looked for in. this division later on. . JUNE 'Hoc.’ RUN ls HEAVY. 7, The hog market is billowing along with a top ranging between $10.50 and $11 at Chicago, but has a habit of slumping whenever the latter figure is ' reached. This performance wasre- peated again‘ last 'week. Although there has been nothing like the 115118.! June break in prices, the‘ June run is , - holding upand the total for the month will be far above the average.” Re~ ceipts last week at the eleven'lea‘d -markets threatened, to reach the high? ' est level since February. This is a lit-~ tle later than the run usually lasts ‘and may have been due to an effort tonne - ticipate the threatened railroad strike.

INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE. N .a. letter received by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates from Nat C. Murray, delegate to the general assemply meeting of the In— ternational Institute of Agriculture at Rome, it was learned that the Ameri— can proposition for the use of English as well as French in the Institute, al- though “bitterly fought by the French, assisted by the Spanish,” was carried by a vote of sixty-four to sixty-three. As a result of the passage of this prop- osition, at the beginning of the assem- bly, every member of the American delegation took some part in the pro- ceedings. An important resolution re- lated to the greater use of the tele- graph and cable in collecting and dis- seminating crop data. It is intended to have the up—to-date crop informa- tion sent by cable for prompt distribu- tion in connection with our radio mar- ket service. \ fi_____ FlGHT WEEDS NOW. i , HIS is the season of the year when ‘ the farmer should work hard to keep down weeds. They are more eas- ily killed now than later and the crops Ewill have a better opportunity to keep the weeds subdued. Just before har- Ivest time is on in full blast the farmer usually has a little breathing time in which this work can be done before the weeds have time to develop size sufficient to resist ordinary treatment. SUGAR PRODUCTION. EPORTS are to the eflect that there will be a. shortage of sugar As a result, no more sugar from this crop will be exported from that country ex- cept what has already been contract- ed. On the other hand, there will be a larger crop produced in Brazil. FARMERS.

' . mun-mun- farm n» m Iadio Department Conducted by Stuart Seelgy SUMMER STATIC. HERE is nothing quite aspro- voking as the crash and rattle 1 of summer static in the ’phones when one is trying to listen to the broadcasting programs. There is no cure for it, it must be endured with as much fortitude as possible. The only happy thought one can find at such a time is that it does not last through all of the seasons of the year. In this country static is about as rare in the winter months as a snow ball in sum- mer. But at this time of the year it is at its worst and a few suggestions for eliminating as much of it as pos- sible will not be amiss. I The main consideration is the aerial. If located near the sending station the aerial should be cut down to the very smallest dimensions possible. Receiv- ing stations within forty miles of the laige broadcasting stations should not attempt to use areial during the sum- mer months. The author is located eighty miles from the nearest station and yet it has been found that a small wire run from the receiving set on the first floor, up a flight of stairs and connected to a bed post on the second floor will act very well for an aerial. This arrangement minimizes static and still gives loud signals. 0f’c0urse it would not work well with a crystal receiveI, since they do not have a range sufficient to allow the aerial to be cut down. A loop antenna, or direction finder, as it is sometimes called, actually in- creases the ratio of signals to static about four hundred per cent’but they are not efficient receiving aerials and they reduce the signal strength al- most to inaudibility if the receiving station is at any distance from the transmitting station. ' A great deal of static can be elimiz- If the tuner, nated by proper tuning. is of the double circuit type the'tulning should be done with the coupling be— tween the two circuits as loose as possible. That is to say, if a vario- coupler. is employed .the secondary should be turned nearly at right angles with the primary, or if a loose coupler is used the movable coil should be pulled out nearly to the end and‘all of the tuning done with theitranstrmer in this position. Certain radio supply companies ad- vertise a type of protective device to be attached to the aerial lead—in. They claim that this piece of apparatus will dissipate static; however, actual tests have shown that there'is 'little Or nothing to this statement. - Static con- sists of waves in the ether'set up by electrical disturbances, such as thun- der storms, etc., and the waves of static are identically the same as those sent out by the radio transmitting sta- tion. As yet no device has been dis- covered that will sort out the one from the other; there is no fundamental dif- ference that can be made use of, we can only say that the one is desirable and the other is not, and other than that there is nothing except the origin by which one can be distinguished from the other.
