Entered as Second Clam Matter at the Post Office at 'Detrolt, Michigan Under the Act of March 3.1879 VOLUME CLVIX NUMBER THREE DETROIT, JULY 15, 1922 CURRENT COMMENT THE MICHIGAN. FARMER SAYS: Constant quibbling paralyzes action. Fence row crops'can be easily mar- keted on the sheep’s back. Not how well we have gueSSed, but how well we have done, should be our standard. _In’ the long run the chief aim of human laws is to ‘protect the rights of the minority. One way to make farming a better business is to eliminate waste labor, equipment and capital. We should complain less of , and re- spect more, our daily task, since it is our greatest schoolmaster. You will be more sure of hitting the bull's-eye if you keep your attention upon the target rather than upon the manner in which you are holding the gun. The farmer who relieves his hands by getting his head a little closer to his task is the hope of American ag- riculture. ROBABLY fewer Michigan farmers Outlook for have been serious- M’Ch’gan 1y discouraged over Agriculture the agricultural out- . look than those of most other sections of the country, as a result of the serious handicap under which they operated during the defia- tion period. This is a matter for sin- cere congratulation in View of the fact that conditions favor a comparatively Optimistic outlook for Michigan farm- ers. Perhaps a brief review of these favorable conditions will serve a good purpose in maintaining and strength- ening the optimistic morale of Mich- igan farmers at this time. In no other state in the country does natural soil and climatic conditions favor so Wide a diversity of agricul- tural production as in Michigan. Our only competitors in diversified produc- tion are obliged to resort to expen- sive irrigation methods to stimulate production. . Michigan ranks away above the average of other states in the production of more than fifty, im- portant farm products and well toward the top of the list in fully half of this . .mmber. , With less than one-third of Michi- igans total pOpulation living on' the films of the state, we have a home market- tor the great bulk of these in nearby cities in adjoining states where these special products are not largely produced. . Notwithstanding those natural and industrial advantages Michigan. land values have maintained a low level in comparison with .those prevailing in most of the Other good agricultural states, thus giving Michigan farmers another great advantage in compar- atively low overhead costs. ‘ The favorable natural and industrial conditions above mentioned are per- manent, while the comparatively low valuation of Michigan farm lands is probably a temporary condition, which is another reason for optimism on the part of their owners. Under theSe favorable conditions Michigan farms will remain a good investment in comparison with any farm lands anywhere. And so long as the world must be fed good farm lands will continue to be valuable. With im- proved methods of financing the farm business “and - marketing the farm products Whichare now well in sight, as well as improved methods of pro- duction these lands will become more valuable and farming will become a better business. ‘ Every owner of good Michigan farm lands should take stock of these con- ditions before he offers them for sale or leaves them to seek other business or employment. HE district attor- ney for the city Many of New York, after a Lambs careful survey of Shorn fraudulent stock pro— motions and bucket shop operations, has just declared that the victims have lost to the wolves of Wall Street $750,000,000 since the close of the war.- He goes on to state that never in the history of the district attorney’s office has there been so much “fleecing of the lambs.” The Good Book admonishes the strong to care for the weak. It is quite possible that this standard as laid down twenty centuries ago is the one by which these Wall Street oper- ations should be measured. To be sure, we have during these centuries made some progress. Severe punishment has been provided for the highwayman who holds us up on the road and takes our purse when we are unarmed, and also for the robber who breaks into our homes and carries off our goods while we slumber. But many of us still smile when some poor mortal has been wheedled into trusting his money into the hands of professional footpads. Is it not time that we developed a finer sense of justice along this line? Then, too, it is possible that if the banking fra- ternity of the country, with dividends averaging twenty-eight per cent on capital stock, could see its way clear to offer a little more liberal interest on deposits, fewer people would. be tempted by the get-rich-quick proposi- tions of smooth promoters. . N the first place, Why The the seed grew be- cause in it was the Seed germ of life. It was Grew a good seed. A dead seed simply will not produce a plant under any circum- stances whatsoever. Then itvwasv placed in the right sur- 'roundings. The seed will not grow if planted on 'a cake of ice, or a hot stove, or in a dry room. The gardener knows these things and he works faithfully to get the seed in close. contact with the soil so it will have moisture, 'air and the right temperature these ends by first preparing a fine seed-bed and ’then' by taking precau-~ tions to have the seed come in the and, varied tum ' products. ‘ And, ‘ _..1nost of the surplus products not need-r.- .. ed for iocal consumption are marketed the earth firmly over the rowaiter the He provides- seed has been drilled in. This he does to get the right contact betheen the » seed and the earth A good many folks are not growing because they have lost contact with the world. Rural folks being separat- ed from their fellow-beings to a great- er extent than urban people, are more likely to suffer in this respect. The farmer should set about to keep him- self in contact with those persons and agencies who. ‘will‘ contribute to his growth. He should keep in touch with his neighbors, his banker and other business men, witb,his county agent, his agricultural c‘ollege and experiment station. And this contact with the world in general will furnish condi- tions for the development of the var- ious talents with which he may he possessed. ‘ OR the past few V generations 1: h e The trend of population Small has been toWard the - Town large cities where beat the hearts of in- dustry with cold efficiency and sanita- tion, but where the human heart grows restless and weary with the pace. Dur- ing this trend the small town, with its sociability, freedom and quietude has dropped to mediocrity from the stand— point-of public attention. In many cases it has been lulled intoan ennui because all of the young life has gone to the big city. But the tide shows in. dications of turning. It is said that steam made the big cities but that electricity will make the small town and the country. Steam transportation and steam power‘made the centralizing of industry necessary but electrical transportation and elec- trical power which can be transmitted hither and yon will make possible the development of manufacturing in the small towns. With this apparent change in ten- dency it behooves the small town to advertise its advantages so that it may grow larger. And when industry and life comes back to it, the laborer, though he may pound steel all day, can get out to peace and quietude in the evening. He can get in closer communion with nature, which seems to be the fundamental longing of every human heart. For the farmer the development of the small town will mean a better mar- ket in which to buy and sell. He will also find the entertainment and edu- cational features of a well-developed community. ‘Then, too, he may find a better place to get labor and when there is, a lull in the farming business he cam go to town and help industry a. little. The development of the small town will undoubtedly bring a closer rela: tion between industry and agriculture and perhaps a better understanding of each other’s problems. So let’s speed the day. HEwae are ill - it is not right Takmg that we should disre- Out the gard our infirmity, Joy. but should take steps to recover our health. When financial reverses overtake us we ought to pull together our wits and ,put in our best to overcome the handi- cap. Whether it be our physical or ourfinancial status 'that'is in question the object we should constantly have in mind is the better things ahead.- "“Wh_ere there is life there is hOpe. ” This old saying he's been a boon to - many a poor soul. There are a few people around who try. to hitch the horeg behind the cart. . {When they are in good health it is their constant werry that some day Hr. .stvhasicxw '1' ’late‘in these columns same symptoms of more hopeful'times. in prices, easier money, g00d crops and a better spirit among the farmers were among the incidents pointed out to give us e. um; hope for better things to come. But the calamity man could not allow such talk. The crowing of the cock meant dawn to him and this 'he could not stand, W he went out to swat the cock. He even sought an- other publication to get his tirade be- fore the people. Now, really, is it not better to help folks than it is to hinder them? Is not making the way .easier 3 more noble purpose than it is to throw-ob- stacles across the path? Is not the development of brotherhood, of confi- dence, of faith and hope in the hearts ‘ of men, a thing to be sought after rath- er than the planting of the seed cg distrust, and hatred, and revenge? If, instead of looking always for faults, the idea of rendering the larg- est possible service was firmly planted in men's hearts and they made every effort to faithfully carry it into execu- tiOn, there would be a real transforma- tion in the communities in which they live. t B listen“ IN’T Nature grand? When you get a spot'what is too tender for exposure to the cruel ‘world, she puts a water cushion over it. The syen. tific name for them , cushions is blisters. ' Blisters has got a hard name what ain’t due them. Blisters is comforters and protectors, but the process of get- tin’ them is a hard one. . Blisters is sometimes the badge of unusual endeavor. They can be shown with pride as con- vincin’ evidence that you have at least tried to do somethin’ what you aint tried for a long time. Now, I ain't got those kind of blis- ters. The kind I Wgot is from tryin’ to get too close to Nature. And like a. lot of womin folks, when you try to get too close to them, she treated me cruel. This is how it come.

Kel- ' ley, the father of the Grange move- ment in this ‘country, and asked him the question, “Has cooperation among farmers been a success?” His reply was, “Locally, yes. ” My interpretation of his statement was, essentially, this—~that where there are reasons, such as the neces- sity of accumulating capital and estab- lishing an institution like a creamery or an elevator to perform a marketing function‘locally, or where, if left to individual effort, a, monopoly charge , would be made for the service,’ we find - the most fruitful field for cooperative undertakings as a means of avoiding monopoly charges and providing an efficient local marketing system. When we shift the scene, however, from the local market where the farm- er comes in contact virith the cooper- ative institution from day to day, as in the case of the creamery; and ev- ery time he delivers grain, as in the case of the grain elevator; and knows what the manager is doing and is in a position to give adequate supervision to the cooperative undertaking, the sit- uation changes. In the distant central market where the farmer understands less of what is going'on, rarely comes in contact with those who are serving him, and is not in a position to super- vise carefully the work that is being done, the probabilities of success in cooperative undertakings are very much lessened. The question arises, therefore, whether the securingof fair play for farmers in the central market is best secured by cooperative under- takings or by state and federal regu- lation. In the celntral market the farmer’s product passes through the hands of commission merchants who, as a rule, are so organized as not to compete with each other in respect to the charge made for the service; that is, all the live stock commission, men Profitab How Dairying NUMBER of years ago, Mr. W. F. Raven, Dairy Extension Special- ist, Michigan Agricultural Col- lege, did some missionary work in the cut-over regions of northern Michigaln. The Leer Guernsey Breeders’ Associa- tion in Alpena county has been pro- claimed, far and wide over Michigan and in other states, by the National Guernsey Breeders Organization, as an excellent illustration of what pure-bred. sires will do as a medium for con- structive live stock breeding. A second locality, also tracing di-. rectly back to Mr. Raven’s activities years ago. was recently visited by the writer. This community is around Fairview in Oscoda county. Through the cooperation of the Director of Ex- tension, .Mr. RVJ. Baldwin, Michigan Agricultural College, Mr. F. F. Stutes- man, manager of the Oscoda County Creamery at Fairview," succeeded in arranging for a threefday’s dairy cam- paign. Farm meetings were held in the several, farming cemmunities ex- isting in this county, namely at Mic, Kneeland, Fairview, Lucerne and Com- Mr. Stutesman had an excellent ‘anization arranged to handle the s and talks were given by the charge the same rate for a. given ser- vice, all the members of the Board of Trade. charge the same rate for a giv- en service, and are «not allowed to make any exceptions without being in danger of losing their memberships in the Board of Trade. Thislfixed charge has the appearance of a ’ monopoly charge, because all the persons con- cerned in rendering this service are, - of tne Department of Agriculture 15, Interesting In general, whether organized farm- ers will be able to take over the mar- ket functions by organizing themselves into groups and hiring men to perform services for them, instead“ of leaving it to independent middlemen, depends upon the relative efficiency of the two systems; Unless new capital is need- ed or an excessive charge is being made, it is doubtful whether the hired Group of Farmers Who, Through Mutual Effort, Did Much to Improve Agri- culture in their Community. organized in groups for the purpose of fixing this charge and controlling the conditions of the business. There is probably opportunity for further development of cooperation be- yond the local undertaking. Where farmers have the understanding of the problems involved and possess the bus- iness sagacity to do so, it may be practical in many instances to federate lOcals for selling purposes. This has two advantages. First, it provides for a greater uniformity of product com- ing from the different local-units. Sec- ond, it provides for a common sales agency in putting the product on the central market. man working for the group of farmers will be able to operate successfully in competition with the independent op- erator who depends for his compensa- tion upon the effort which he puts forth. I cannot leave the question of co- operation and organized efforts on the part of farmers without giving some attention to the question of price-fixing as an objective in the organization of cooperative marketing. I am thorough- 1y convinced that just to the extent that this motive is kept in the fore- ground and the hope of a monopoly price for farm products is a dominant motive on the part of farmers in en- 'an Bcst Do In tee Lzlgnt of Recent Developments tne Opinion of Dr. Taylor, [Voted Economist tering cooperative organizations, the movement is doomed to fail.‘ Agricul- tural cooperation promoted and organ- ized in the spirit of extortion, in a spirit of price fixing on a monopoly basis, or, in any way in the spirit of “doing the other fellow,” is doomed to fail. Agriculture includes too large a pro. portion of the total population to pros- per without the prosperity of the na- tion as a whole. It may be that a. small industry, like the plumbing in- dustry, may operate on a basis of ex- tortion for many years because its to- tal annual returns are a very small, almost negligible, percentage of the national wealth. But agriculture—the greatest of industries—wan prosper only if the nation prospers. Another reason why cooperation looking to price control is not likely to succeed is that in order to control prices it is necessary to control the supply. Those who are familiar with the independence of the American farmer do not believe that he is likely to submit himself to central control with regard to the number of acres of each crop which he may plant. Even if this control were exercised nature is so dominant a factor in determining the supply in any given year, that the control of production is out of the question. Furthermore, if the human and physical factors involved in produc- tion could be brought under control, it would not be permissible under any political plan which is likely to exist in this country. The more vital to hu- man welfare the product is, the less tolerant are consumers of a monopo‘ listic control. This means that succeSSw ful cooperation must be based upon efficient services to the other fellow at a fair price, even though its prime objective be the welfare of the cooper- ators. There is a large field for agri- cultural cooperation based upon this principle. 6 Dairy Herds at Low Cost Commanitie: May Be Bat/t ([0 T nroagn Ute of Gooa’ Sire: By A. C. Baltzer, feeding topics and cow-judging demon- strations were held. The first day was inauspicious in so far that it rained and made conditions unfavorable for farm meetings. Nev- ertheless, at Mr. W. A. Hershberges’ farm, about twenty—five men and wom- en were present. Great interest was evident in the getting of a stand of alfalfa and the 'use of sweet clover as pasturage and the cow-judging demon. stration aroused considerable interest. .The afternoon meeting was at Mr. Menno Esch’s farm. Here about thirty ~ people were assembled in a very fine, unto—date dairy barn. A beautiful herd of high-grade Jersey cows was found. Mr. Esch has been .using pure-bred Jersey sires for a period of twelve years and had Jersey crosses that were bred up to 31-32 and 63-64 Jersey. Mr. Esch has maintained records of his own for several years and pointed out two individuals that had made above 600 poundslof butter-fat in a year’s time. He is an ardent grower of al- lHam' llamas the Outlook-w Ifalfa and also he is taking the very best of care with his cows. Drinking cups are installed in the barn and an abundance of alfalfa hay is used in the winter feeding program. The cat- tle are also well bedded and kind treat- ment has paid Mr. Esch well in the type of cattle that he has. Additional farms visited were Mr. E. C. Rassel’s, Mr. Sam Troyer’s and Mr. Isaac Seidner’s. Mr. Seidner is one of the few Holstein breeders in Oscoda county. He has a herd of some thirty-five pure-bred Holsteins and it must be said that they are extremely uniform in type and exceedingly well grown out. Mr. Seidner has been care- ful in the selection of his herd sires and the blood represented in his herd is made up of some of the best in Holstein circles today. The chief interest of the dairymen ‘in Oscoda county is the development of Guernseys. Guernsey cattle predom- inate throughout the county and six excellent Guernsey pure-bred sires are now in use in as many different com- munities over the county. At Mr. S. V. Yoder’s farm one of these Guernsey _. '; 3 sires was seen and also an excellent group of grade, and some pure-bred -. Guernsey cows.

TO STUDY FRUIICRGP CONDI- ~ T|.ONS. s .FRUIT. grewers in Pennsylvania. Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, transportation officials, dealers, and state and market special- ists will hold a meeting in Washington on July 11. to study the size and con- dition of ’the prospective apple and peach crops in these states. as well as the facilities available to move the fruits to market. This movement to "compare information originated with the Pennsylvania State Department of Agriculture. Owing to damage by frost; there'is a wide variation in crop prospects in the different states; and it is believed that the proposed meet- ing will bring out valuable informa- tion regarding fruit crop conditions following the June drop. OUR CANNED GOODS COMPETE WITH AUSTRALIA . O ' OREIGN canned foods are having a hard battle in the world’s mar— kets, due to the great superiority of the American product. Unless more attention'is paid to selecting and pack- ing fruits and other products, a con- tinued decline in the exports of Aus- tralian canned foods will result, is the opinion of authorities in that country. The American consulateat Sydney has submitted a report to the Department of Commerce, outlining the measures to be undertaken by the Australian government in establishing standards for grading and packing. GERMANY NEEDS AMERICAN SUGAR. DEGREE has been issued by the German government discontinuing the necessity of import. license for for- eign sugar and providing for its-free admission, American Consul Donigan. Konigsberg, has informed the Depart ment of Commerce. A great scarcity of sugar exists at present throughout East Prussia, and the local wholesale dealers believe that an excellent chance exists for American exporters to sell sugar there if they can compete with English prices. ‘ The immediate results of the decree admitting foreign sugar free and with- out. license were the depletion of the stocks of foreign sugar at Hamburg, its shipment to the interior of Ger- many, and the placing of orders for sugar in England and the United States. At the end of 1921 and the first part of' this yearsugar was retailed in Kon- isberg at five marks per German pound (1.1 pounds avoirdupois). Prices have since tripled and at the end of May were five cents per pound (avoirdu— pois) for German and seven cents for English sugar, reckoning exchange at 280 marks to the dollar. Wholesale prices at the end of May were $3.25 per 100 pounds for German and $5.52 for English sugar. A NATIONAL FORESTRY POLICE. HERE are encouraging indications that congress will soon be able to enact legislation which will assist in the adoption in this country of a na- tional forestry policy that will tend to ' 'put American forests on a permanent basis, along the lines outlined by See- retary of Agriculture Wallace in his recent statement to Senator Norris, of the Senate Committee of Agriculture, , as follows: 1.

At present it is claimed that the annual taxes in many locali- ties are greater than the value of the growth of 'the timber. STARTS SECOND CAMPAIGN. ROMINENT State Farm Bureau leaders. are to direct the farm.bu- reau’s second membership campaignin Allegan county which will begin on August 7, according to Clark L. Brody, secretary-manager of the state organ- ization, who will take an active part in . the coming membership campaigns. President James ,Nicol, of the State Farm Bureau, who is also president of the Allegan County Farm Bureau. will again serve his county organaization as county campaign manager. M. L. Noon, of Jackson county, and vice—pres- ident of the State Farm Bureau, will be in the field as state organization director. The membership drive will be preceded on August 4 by a big County Farm Bureau picnic at Alle- gan. The farm bureau’s second mem- bership campaign will be extended from Allegan to other counties, said Mr. Brody. Accomplishments of the bureau in the paSt' Years as cited by Mr. Brody include construction of the most pow~ erful farmers’ organization Michigan has ever known. It has cooperated with other farm organizations. in the state so successfully that' the four great commodity marketing exchanges ——the potato growers, the milk produc- ers, the live stock exchange and the elevator exchange—have affiliated with the farm bureau in the working out of common interests. Within the. past two years the farm bureau has also given great stimu- lus to the cooperative marketing movement in Michigan, Mr. Brody said. The bureau has built the greatest co- operative seed handling agency in the nation, an agency that is a pioneer in guaranteeing all its seed. It has also built in the Michigan Elevator Ex- change one of the largest and most successful State elevator exchanges in the United States. The exchange con- sistS'of 101 local elevators marketing througha central agency. The bureau’s purchasing department, transportation, taxation and legislatve departments are declared to have been of great ser- vice to Michigan farmers.

HAVE heard of people making their families lit the house, but when it comes to making the house at the 1 family I think it is about '1 the latest; ' thing out. . _Do you think enough of - your-tenant and his family to fix the' ‘houSe all over and make it larger? I think there are very few men today .who fully appreciate what his tenant ' does for him, and fewer still that care about making things pleasant and helpful for his family. “And still, per- haps you, yourself, were in the ten- ant’s “shoes” “in; the good old days.” Nevertheless, there was one man in these same “good old days” that appre- ciated and took an interest in his ten- ant and fixed his house all over. His tenant had three children and there were Only four rooms in the house, and those nothing to speak of. So he he- took it upon himself to make amends. There was a goodlsized living-room needing new paper and paint just “aw- . fully." And the dish cupboard was in one corner of this living-room. Then there were two small bedrooms, so small, in fact, that by the time you got your bed up there was no room left 'A .Porch Was Built Across the Entire Front. for dresser or'table or hardly any for yourself. Then, as far as doors go, there was an opening but no place for the door to.go when you wanted to a open it. So doors were just about for- gotten in this house. The dining-room “and kitchen were together and when company came the children had to wait 'until the second table, or had to stand - up and eat, for there was not room for more than six to sit down at the din- ing-table and have any room- left to wait table. The house needed shing- ling badly. " 4 ' First of all, the roof was raised and tWO sleeping-rooms added,'one above the living-room and the other above the former bedrooms, each had large clothes-presses at one end and the ex- tra clothing was taken care of. An open stairway led up to these rooms from the living-room, and a cellar stair- way was added under these. Then the partition between the former bedrooms ‘ was taken out and this made a nice comfortable dining-room. A lax‘ge win- dow was made in the north wall and the dish cupboard moved to this room The kitchen was painted and the oth- er tWo rooms fixed up in fine shape. A large sink and drain were put in the kitchen and much disagreeable work, was eliminated, as well as unsanitary , surroundings.

The reason is simple—the right kind of food digests promptly and is absorbed into the blood - for building sound tissue; while food that di- gests slowly may ferment and lead to serious conditions. Grape-Nuts—the delicious cereal food made from whole wheat flour and malted barley— is so easy to digest that even delicate people ' and young children thrive on it. This is only natural, because Grape-Nuts is baked for 20 hours, which transforms and par- tially pre-digests the starch elements, resulting in easy digestion and quick assimilation. Served with milk or cream, Grape-Nuts is a complete food—and along with its nutritive qualities is that wonderful flavor! “There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts Sold by grocers everywhere Made by Postum Cereal Company, Inc., Battle Creek, Michigan.

IN some sections of Michigan an Farmers have found ular farm routine and a back-breaking job to rid their fields of stone. Vari- ous methods and apparatus have been tried and in most cases have proved futile. There are two methods of hand- How. the Boat is Made. ling rock which are lasting—dynamite and hand-picking. Dynamite used on the larger boul~ ders quickly- reduces them to frag- ments easily handled by, hand and with very little work on the part of the farmer. A fifty per cent straight nitroglycerin dynamite or picric acid is best adapted to this class of work. For boulders which lie ,on the surface or three-fourths on top of the ground the “mud-capping” method may be em- ployed. This consists of placing the dynamite in a creak or depression on the surface of the stone and covering it over with twelve to fourteen inches of good stiff mud. In cases where the stone is buried dynamite placed under the stone will throw it on the surface so the mudcapping method can be used. For throwing out rock a twenty or forty per cent stumping dynamite can be used. There are certain rocks on every HE day of the dual—purpose cow is here. Her place is on the av- erage farm where specialized dairyimg or specialized beef making is not desired. That there are many such farms in Michigan does not ad- mit of doubt. The average farmer is not a. specialist. He is not interested in the two cows to one calf proposi- tion, nor is he satisfied with dairy products only, but show him a big, shapely, smooth—fleshed cow that swings a good udder and you have his attention at once. He knows that she. will not only produce a good call" for the feed-lot, but that there will be milk, cream and butter to feed the family and to sell and pay the gro- cery bill, or buy shoes for the chil- :dren.

This stone-boat is entirely home-made and is very easily constructed out of two pieces of hard— wood plank, a couple of bolts and a chain. One of the big assets of this outfit is “that it eliminates the back- ache and hand-handling of large stone and further. it requires practically no - financial outlay. The scissors stoneboat is made from two hardwood planks two inches by twelve inches by siii feet, rounded at one end and a two-inch hole bored in the ends to admit the chain to which the team is attached. These planks are placed four inches apart with the inside edges bevelled. A short plank two by six by twenty-eight inches is bolted across the end opposite the rounded ends and the stone- boat is complete. When the stone is to be moved the planks are spread so that one goes on each side of the stone. A chain to Method of Loading. which the team is attached is fastened to the hole in each plank. As the team moves ahead the planks close together and by the help of the bevelled edges the stoneis lifted on top of the planks so that it can be moved to the desired point. To unload, the chain is remov- ed from one plank so thevteam can spread the plamks, allowing the.stone to rest on the ground. In this manner the, team does the heavy work. F ranClsco Farm Notes By P P. Pope The dairy specialist may call the dual cow a myth but even he is not immune to mistakes as many of, us who have had experience withreal double-deck- ers know. That the dual qualit}r can be bred true to type with greater cer- tainty than either the extreme in beef or milk has been substantiated by ex- perience. The reason is, no doubt. be- cause it is the normal thing for a cow to do, while the extreme in either di- rection is pulling aWay from the nor— mal. This is true to a greater extent with the Shorthorn breed perhaps than with any other, as their inherited ten- dencies are toward both 'beef and milk in liberal quantities. It seems clear to me that, in view of the present economic situation through- out the country, the present is a very opportune time for the 1eplacement of many of the scrub, no- purpose cows—— tows that are a. liability‘from either ‘ the beef or dairy standpoint—hand the big,, smooth; easy-fleshed cow. that >milks well will “do the “trick” wherever specialties are not; feasible.

What can I do with my cherry tree? It was set out last spring'and came on just fine, but this year all the new leaves are covered with black lice. I have sprayed with common things and sprinkled with lice powder, ‘but to no . avail.-—~C. H. The most satisfactory way to con- trol lice on fruit trees is by spraying them with. Black Leaf 40, which is a standard commercial tobacco extract. This tobacco solution can -be purchased at most any store handling spray ma.- terials and you will find directions on the can for its use. It is a little difficult to satisfactorily control lice after they have become serious. We are sure that you would have obtamed good results had you used some of this Black Leaf 40 just before and after the blossoming pe riod. In regular spraying this tobacco extract is added to the regular spray solution, as it is just as effective when used in combination with other mate— rials as when used alone.

I have five acres of hay that I am _ cutting which will yield at least one . . and one-half tons per acre of cured ‘ hay, half June clover and half quack grass. Which would be the best way to destroy the quack, plow "as soon as the hay is off and work well the rest of the season and plant to corn next spring, or wait till I get a good second growth of clover and plow it under and work it thoroughly next spring'and gm?) it to buckwheat about July 1'!— If you plow the land immediately after harvesting the hay and give it tillage during July and August, much of the quack grass will be destroyed. No plant can stand this treatment'dur- ing dry, hot weather. It will be prac- tically a summer fallow. The quack will be so thoroughly subdued that you could safely seed to wheat or rye this fall. Then if you will plow next year just as soon as the wheat .or rye is harvested and sow to wheat or rye again in September, you will be, I think, the master of the situation. The . cultiVation. during July and August should be very thorough. Allow none of the grass to grow. The second year you could seed to clover in the spring on the wheat or rye and have little or I no interference from the quack. By handling the matter in this way you will have a chance to grow a crop while eradicating the quack. Thorough summer-fallowing for two months, July and August, for two years ought to completely destroy the quack. But you must do a thorough job.-——C. RLUM ROT. We have two yellow plum trees. Last - « year they had plums on them for the *' first‘time. About three weeks before they were ripe, they started to rot. By the time they were to be ripe they had all rotted. This year we sprayed them three times and they are rotting again. I would like to know how I ! could prevent them from doing this ' again—A. F. ' The rotting of yellow plums is a very common trouble, and in some sea.- sons it is quite prevalent. The most satisfactory method of control is to follow the regular spray schedule by using commercial lime-sulphur at the rate of one gallon to fifty gallons of water.

W. ~_._~. m~.~w a” ham Radio Department : CW4 by Smart Sula FACTS ABOUT ’PI-l ON as.» HE ’phones ,used for wireless work are the most sensitive kind that are made. Impulses so slight that they can hardly be meas- ured with the most delicate laboratory instruments cause quite a disturbance of the diaphrams and consequently quite a click or buzz, as the case may be. If you have a pair of radio ’phones a few experiments which are very in- teresting will serve to show you just how sensitive they are. Place the ’phones upon the head and wet the tips of the cord on the end of the tongue. Next rub the two metal tips together or tap them lightly on another piece of metal and a sound will be heard that is really surprising. A regular telephone line can be set up if a pair of radio ’phones and suf- ficient wire are available. Remove the cord from the backs of the ’phones and separate the ’phones from the head- band. Wire them up by connecting two wires to the back of one receiver, running them into another room or to another house and then attaching them to the other receiver. In order to talk Experience; wit/z Sanitary Claret: AVE you had experiences with sanitary closets? If so would you write us a letter ad- vising whether or not you would ‘ urge your best neighbor to se- cure one for his home, and why? Address the letter {to the Farm Mechanics Editor, The Michigan Farmer, Detroit, Michigan. it is merely necessary to place the ’phone close to the mouth and talk into it. The voice will be transmitted along the wire and can be heard in the other ’phone at the other end of the wire. In this way it is possible to talk back and forth over distances as great as a half-mile. If-there is -not sufficient wire to run the entire dis-_ tance and back again, one wire and a ground may be used and Will be found to work quite as well as two wires. If the ’phones are used with a vac- uum tube for receiving, care should be taken to make sure they are connected in such a way that they will not be- come demagnetized. If one of the cord tips is woven with red threads through the cloth, this tip should be connected to the positive side of the “B” battery. If the cord tips are not marked in this way a simple test will serve to show whether they are attached in the prop-~ er manner. Remove the bulb from the socket and run a small piece of wire from the prong on the bottom of the. socket which makes contact'with the plate, to one of the filament prongs. Next tap the ’phone tips on the bind- ing posts; a good strong click should be heard. Unscrew the caps of the receivers and lift the diaphram and connect the loose tip, then lift the dia- phram again. If it comes up harder the second time than the first, that ’phone is connected in the proper man- ner. If it comes oft easier, reverse the tips that connect to the binding posts on the set and try it again. Next try the other ’phone in the same man- ner. .If it is necessary to reverse the polarity of the second ’phone change 4' the tips on the back of it. Now re.~ place the caps and leave the "phones always connected in this manner. One ' All-year C Dependable Service With all the noted qualities of the Essex chassis, the Coach combines closed car utility, comfort and distinc- tion,-at an unrivalled price. Note how little more it costs than the open car. That is made possible by great production. More Essex Coaches are now built than any other fine closed car. You must see, examine and drive it to realize what is ofi'ered at this price. Built to Endure Hard Service The type of body construction is the newest. It gives a durable, comfort- able type, of appealing distinction. But,-perhaps more important, is the far quieter car that results.The Essex Coach construction absorbs and an- nuls practically all “drumming” noises [of the closed compartment.l And the Coach is a product that will endure in good, useful service for Touring Car, $1095 Cabriolet, $1195 years. Come see, and drive it before you buy any car. What Owners Say the Real Proof There is a simple way to get the real truth about any car. Why buy blindly? You have the all-important advantage of being able to ask owners. Make use of it. Find out how any car'you think of buying has, served others. What mileage does it give on gasoilne and ' tires? What are upkeep costs? Is the second or third 10,000 miles just as satisfactory as the first? What is the future expectency of good service after twenty or thirty thousand miles? Just ask owners of the Coach how solid and quiet and free from rattles the body stays. How comfortable and easy it rides and handles. The satisfaction of owners is the best proof of all. We want you to know what Coach owners think because we believe their enthu- siasm will win you, too. Coach, $1295 Freight and Tax Extra ESSEX ' MOTORS—DETROIT, MICHIGAN 34 11/2 H. P.

Brown a Company Robert Fairchild obeyed the instruc- tions, a victim of many a conjecture, many an attempt at reasoning as he sought sleep that was far away. Again and again there rose before him the vision of two men in an open buggy, with a singing, apparently maudlin person between them whom Ohadi be- lieved to be an efiiminate-voiced , why had they adopted the expedient? ‘ Why had net Larsen been with them "in reality? Fairchild avoided the ob- vious conclusion and turned to other thoughts, to Rodaine with his squint eyes, to Crazy Laura, gathering herbs ..at midnight in the shadowy, stone- sentineled stretches of graveyards, while the son, perhaps, danced at some 'function of Ohadi’s society and made love in the rest periods. It was all gro- tesque; it was fantastic, almost laugh‘ able——had it mot concerned him! For Rodaine had been his father’s enemy, and Mother Howard had told him just enough to assure him that Rodaine did not forget. The crazed woman of the graveyards was Squint’s lunatic wife, ready to kill, if necessary, for a hus- band. who beat her. And the young Rodaine was his son, blood of his blood; that was enough. It was hours before Fairchild found sleep, and even then it was a thing of troubled visions. Streaming sun awakened him, and he hurried to the dining-room to find himself the last lodger at the tables. He ate a rather hasty meal, made more so by an impatient waitress, then with the necessary papers in his pocket, Fairchild started toward the court- home and the legal procedure which must be undergone before he made his first trip to the mine. A block or two, and then Fairchild suddenly halted. Crossing the street at an angle just before him was a young woman whose features, whose mannerisms he recognized. The whip- cord riding habit had given place now to a tailored suit which deprived her . ‘of the boyishness that had been so ap- parent on their first meeting. The cap had disappeared before a close-fitting, ,vari-colore'd turban. But the straying brown hair still was there, the brown .eyes, the piquant little nose and the prettily formed lips. Fairchild’s heart thumped-mnor did he stop to consider why; A quickening of his pace, and he met her just as she stepped to the curbing. "I’m so glad of this opportumty," he {exclaimed happily. “I wamt to return it-hat money to you. 1—1 was so fussed " yesterday I didn't realize-—-” 2. “Aren't you mistaken?” She had '{ looked at him with a slight smile. Fair- fchild did not catch the inflection. - "Oh, no. I’m ,the man, you know, Swede; in reality, only a woman. And- who helped you change that tire on the” Denver road yesterday.” ' “Pardon me.” This time one brown eye had wavered ever so slightly, in- dicating some one 'behind Fairchild. “But I wasn’t on the Denver road yes- terday, and if you’ll excuse me for saying it, I don’t remember ever hav- ing seen you before.” There was a little light in her eyes which took away the sting of the de nial, a light which seemed to urge caution, and? at the same time, to tell Fairchild that she trusted him to do his part as a gentleman in a thing she wished forgotten. More fussed than ever, he drew back and bent low in the street toward the retreating figures. “Well, some say he is and some say he ain’t. Guess it mostly depends on the girl, and she ain’t telling yet.” “And the mam—who is he?” “Him? Oh, he’s Maurice Rodaine. Son of a pretty famous character around here, old Squint Rodaine. Owns the Silver Queen property up the hill. Ever hear of him?” ’ Theeyes of Robert Fairchild nar- rowed, and a desire to fight——a longing to grapple with Squint Rodaine and all that belonged to him—surged into his heart. But his voice, when he spoke, was slow and suppressed. “Squint Rodaine? Yes, I think I Good Roads in Colonial Days 'By Sam Walter Foss “One day through the primeval wood A calf walked home, as good calves should, But left a trail all bent askew, A crooked trail, as all calves do. Since then ‘three hundred years have fled And I assume the calf is dead, But still he left behind his trail And thereby hangs my moral tale. The trail was taken up next day ' By a lone dog that passed that way, And then a wise bell-wether sheep .Pursued the trail o’er vale and steep And led his flock behind him, too, As good bell-wethers always do. And since that day, o'er hill and glade Through those old woods, a path was made. . And many men wound in and out And bent and turned and dodged about And uttered words of righteous wrath Because 'twas such a crooked- path. But still they followed, do not, laugh, The first migrations of that calf, And through that winding woodway stalked Because he wobblcd when he walked." ‘I apology, while she passed on. Half a block away, a young man rounded a corner and, seeing her, hastened to join her. She extended her hand; they chatted a moment, then strolled up the street together. Fairchild watched blankly, then turned at a chuckle just behind him emanating from the beard- ed lips of an old miner, loafing on the stone coping in front of a small store: “Pick the wrong filly, pardner?” came the query. Fairchild managed to smile. “Guess so.” Then he lied quickly. “I thought she was a girl from Den- ver.” _ “Her?” The old miner stretched. “Nope. That’s Anita Richmond, old Judge Richmond’s daughter. Guess she must have been expecting that young fellow—or she wouldn’t have cut you off so short.

Then, deliberately, he started up the street, following at a distance the man and the girl who walked before him. Anita Richmond Sells a Ticket. THERE was mo specific reasOn why. Robert Fairchild should fellow Maurice Rodaine and the young wom— an who had been described to him as the daughter of Judge Richmond, who- ever he might 'be. And Fairchild sought for none—within two weeks he had been transformed from a plodding. methodical person into a creature of‘ impulses, and more and more, as time went on, he was allowing himself to be governed by the snap judgment of his brain rather-than by the carefully ex- acting mind of a systematic machine, such-as hethad- been for the greater part of his adult life. All that he car- ed to how was that resentment was in his heart—resentment that the-fame ily of Rodaine. should be- connected in some way with the piquant, mysteri- ous little person hehad helped out of a predicament on the Denver road the day before. And, to his chagrin, the very fact that there was a connection added a more sinister note to the es- capade of the exploded tire and the pursuing sheriff; as hevwalked along his gaze far ahead, Fairchild found himself wondering whether there could be more than mere coincidence in. it all, whether she was a part of the’ Rodaine schemes and the Rodaine trickery, whether—- But he ceased his wondering to turn sharply into’ a near-by drug store, there absently to give an order at the soda fountain and stand watching the pair ‘who had stopped just in front of him on the corner. She was the same girl; theie could be no doubt of that; and he raged inwardly as she chatted and chaffed with the man who looked down upon her with a smiling air of pro- prietorship which instilled instant re- bellion in Fairchild’s heart. Nor did he know the reason for that, either. After a moment they parted, aind Fairchild gulped at his fountain drink. She had hesitated, then with a quick decision turned straight into the drug store. “Buy a ticket, Mr. McCauley?” she asked of the mah behind the counter. “I’ve sold tWenty already, this morn- ing. Only five more, and my woxk’s over. " “Going to be pretty much of a crowd, , isn’t there?” The druggist was fishing in his pocket for money. Fairchild, dallying with his drink now, glanced sharply toward the door and went back to his refreshment. She was standing directly in the entrance, fingering the five remaining tickets. “Oh, everybody in town. Please take the five, won’t you? Then I’ll be all through.” _ “I’ll be danned if I will, ’Nita!” Mc- Caulye backed against a shelf case in mock self-defense. “Every time you’ve got anything you want to get rid of,_ you come in here and shove it ofi on me. I’ll be gosh gim-swiggled if I will. There’s only four in my family and four’s all I’m going to take. Fork ’em over—I’ve got a prescription to 1111." He tossed four. silver.” dollars on the showcase’and took the tickets. The girl demurred. “But how about the fifth one?

Anita Rich- , mend had accepted the druggist’s chal- lenge. She was approaching—in a stranger-like manner—a ticket of some sort held before her. “Pardon me,” she began, “but would you care to buy a ticket?” ' “To—to what ?” It was all Fairchild could think of to say. ' “To the Old Timers’ Dance. It’s a sort of municipal thing, gotten up by the bureau of mines—to celebrate the. return of silver mining." “But—but I’m afraid I’m not much on dancing." ‘ “You don’t have to be. Nobody’ll dance muchfiexcept the old-fashioned affairs. You see, everybody’s supposed to represent people of the days when things were booming around here. There’ll be a fiddle orchestra, and a dance caller and everything like that, and a bar—~but, of course, there’ll be only imitation liquor. But,” she added with quick emphasis, “there’ll be a lot of things really real—real keno and roulette and everything like that, and everybody in the costume of thirty or forty years ago. Don’t you want to buy a ticket? It’s the last one I’ve got!” she added prettily. But Robert Fairchild had been listening with his eyes, rather than his ears. Jerkily he came to the realization that the girl had ceased speaking. “When’s it to be?" “A week from tomorrow night. Are you going to be here that long?” She realized the slip of her tongue and colored slightly. Fairchild, recov- ered now, reached into a pocket and carefully fingered the bills there. Then with a quick motion, as he drew them forth, he covered a ten-dollar bill with a One-dollar note and thrust them for- ward. “Yes, I’ll take the ticket.” She handed it to him, thanked him, and reached for the money. As it pass- fed into her hand, a corner of the ten— dollar bill revealed itself, and she has- tily thrust it toward him as though to return money paid by mistake. Just as quickly, she realized his purpose and withdrew her hand. “Oh!” she exclaimed, almost in a whisper, “I understamd.” She flushed and stood a second hesitant, flustered, her big eyes almost chldish as they looked up into his. “You—you must think I’m a cad!” Then she whirled' and left the store, and a slight smile came to the lips of Robert Fairchild as he watched her hurrying across the. street. He had won a, victory, at least. Not until she had rounded at corner and disappeared did Fairchild leave his point of vantage. Then, with a new enthusiasm, a greater desire than ever to Win out in the fight which had brought“ him to Ohadi, he hurried to the courthouse and the various tech- nicalities which must be coped with , 'before hercould really call the Blue . *Pbm'mkieshis:rown.z« - ., . - It was easier than, he thought.

Interests j Picnic Lunches With Little ESTING iIn theporch swing or R hammock, these hot summer days, and dreading the task of fixing a regular dinner, one becomes interested in watching Robin Redbreast or Mr. Catbird catching his nootnday meal, and one gets to thinking what a bother a civilized meal really is. Not that one minds it ordinarily, but during the hot summer months when appetites seem so fickle it is different. What you and the family need at such times is a picnic; not the old sort which took a day to prepare for and two days to get rested from, but an easily prepared meal which you can tuck under your arm or in the ton- neau of the car, and hit the trail to some favorite Inook or spot where one can really rest, where it is possible to forget for the time being, all the little worries and yexations that seem a part of everyone’s life. The man of the house will enjoy this little change from the usual routine quite as much as the children and yourself. Webster’s dictionary defimes a picnic as “A pleasure- party whose members carry piovisions with them'” a party whose members have tired themselves out with elaborate prepara- tions, could not be called a pleasure party. So when you begin your prep- arations, you should plan for some- thing easily and quickly prepared. It is a wise plan to keep a few cans of something which may be used for sandwiches, on tile emergency shelf. The first feed one always thinks of when picnics are 'mentioned is the sandwich, as this is the one staple food. of. the meal. These need not be slab? orate but should vary from time to time'. Cut the bread in thin slices and but- ter lightly. -The butter will spread more evenly if well creamed ‘with knife or spoon. ‘ Various leftovers may be utilized. Boiled or baked beans, mashed and mixed with mayonnaise or salad dress- ing and spread on buttered brown bread are good, as. well as hard-boiled eggs, mashed and mixed with grated cheese, and seasoned with salt, pepper, sweet cream and mustard.' Leftover chicken, either boiled, bak- ed or fried, may- be made into sand- wiches that would be hard to beat. Run the chicken through; the food- grinder and mix in enough melted but- ter or well seasoned stock to make a moist paste. To each two. cups, allow a pickled beet the size of an egg, well chopped. Add a little mustard and . mix. Spread between buttered squares of white bread. Canned salmon, shrimp, Tuna fish, sardines and potted meats are all very good. Salad at a picnic is usually a diffi- I cult propositit'm. However, if the eel- ad proper is not mixed with the dress- ing beforehand, the dressing being carried in a sealed jar, you will find that all the annoyance and confusion will disappear. ' Surely = I B y Nelle Partrey cold chicken in small pieces, add half the quantity of celery out fine, and a seasoning of salt and pepper. When ready to serve, mix with mayonnaise dressing. Shredded cabbage, fresh sliced cu- cumbers and onions, make an unusual and delicious salad when mixed with sour cream dressing. Of course, a picnic lunch wOuld not be complete without some sort of cake or cookies. To supply this need, there is nothing more liked or easier made than drop cookies and gingerbread. A favorite gingerbread recipe is as follows: Cream one cup of shortening and one and one-half cups of sugar. Add'two cups of molasses, two cups of sour milk and three eggs. Mix and sift five cups of flour, one teaspoon 'of salt, three teaspoons of ginger, two teaspoons of cinnamon, one teaspoon ' of cloves, three teaspoons .of soda and one teaspoon of baking powder; beat for two minutes. Bake‘in moderate oven "for thirty minutes. , Present-Day Modesty (The following article on a sublect which holds many diiferent opinions has been received from one of our sub- scribers. We would be pleased to re- ceive other comments on the same subject—Editors). ODESTY-wchaStity; propriety of behavior, or manner—-is a God- given instinct, born in the heart of every child, and the best and safest asset of every woman, young or old, rich or poor. The present-day fashions are not conducive to modesty. The average girl is so dressed, or undressed, that when she reaches the age of sixteen, she has no conception of the word. She exposes as much of her person to the public as she dares, without a. bluSh. Indeed, who ever saw the modern girl blush? ‘ It is shameful for a girl to wear such loose, low-necked waists that when she leans over, one can see to her waist line. Even teachers in our pub- lic schools need to put in a. draw-string l when'boys laugh over what they saw- when teacher answered questions at their desk. Boys have eyes and must - see what is so obviously intended for them to see. It should be a state offense to send little’four and five-year—old tots out on the street in bloomer suits such as I recently saw—scant bloomers fastened above the knees, half-hose, upper gar- ment low-necked and short-sleeved, and reaching only a few inches below the waist line. Pert misses of ten to twelve, attend- ing church services in costumes al- most as abbreviated. Attractive? No, repulsive. School girls in semi-waists and skirts which barely cover their knees, some do not. They make interesting spec- tacles going up and down stairs,'or sit- ting cross-legged, as is quite usual. Another factor, and a. disgrace to our civilization, which should be pro- hibited by law, is the brazen display of nudity at sea-shore and lake. News- papers spread the propaganda by printing such pictures as one recently seen, of a society girl in a scant bath. ing suit, riding astride the back of a young man who was playing horse. Such amtics are permissible only among savages—Mrs. B. O. R. WHAT DID Youn CHILD D01 MY boy had the very bad habit of eating too fast. He would some- times empty his plate before I had fin- ished getting everyone started“ I cur- ed him by bringing in an alarm clock and giving him a specific time in which to fimish his plateful. If he took all the time, he got 'a reward in. the form of something he liked especially‘well for dessert. If he “bolted” the food, he had to sit in a. cerner with his face to the wall while the rest Of us finished the meal. What was your child’s worst habit, and how did you cure it? Let us hear from other mothers and how they solved their problem.

Many clay tablets have my unearthed, pertaining to the Babylonians, and these an refer to Nabonidus as the successor of Nebu- chadnezzar. and Belshazzar ashis son. At any rate, it is a minor point and in no way robs the book of its meaning. If.Belsh'azzar was crown prince instead of king on this momentousgnight, he was still the principal figure in the. .. . ‘ - ' Andin no country are they able to be drama. - .

To drink out of the vessels of conquered peo- commcn. But in some way eon- science bites him that. night. At the height of the feast there comes forth a man’s hand and writes on the wall. “Then was the king's countenanCe changed.” The people of ancient times were more given to seeing meanings in the sky than we are today. Anything that ap- peared unusual was accounted myste- rious, and had a certain meaning. Pro- fessional men known as astrologers were supposed to be able to interpret these signs. In much more recent times tokens in the sky were looked upon as containing the greatest. sig- nificance. As the year one thousand A. D. approached, it was commonly be-_ lieved that thegend of the world was approaching. Building operations ceas- ed. Fearful portents were seen in the sky. Comets blazed their way across the midnight heavens. People were in- tensely disturbed. The church in some quarters echoed these beliefs 'and warned the people to be ready for the end. But when one thousand had safe- ‘ly passed, and nothing unusual had oc- curred, the tenseness wore away, and men went about their accustomed toil. T is a great thing to be the man needed in time of crisis. We all picture ourselves ‘as such, when we We like to think that, we are those who cannot be dispensed 'with. And it is not really so? Can any of .us be dispensed with? How "important is a man, anyway? The Master of ,Life taught that a human being was of priceless worth. The pic- tures Christ drew of the value of the individual can never be surpassed. Even that worthless lad who squan- dered all he had, in high living, was welcomed back and given a place of And Lazarus the leper, even his loathsome house, was escorted to ’mansions of light. But in a more com- mon sense, are we all not important? ‘ For instance, a story appeared a few years back of a disease of the hand that seized all scrub women in New :York. Next morning when doctors, lawyers, insurance meln, opened their offices, they had not been cleaned. The halls" had not been scrubbed. .Every- body grumbled. The, dirty buildings were the topic of conversation. But . that day the disease spread to the ' debutant. No one could call a cab or 3o; _. , to takehim to hishppointment. ti. ., ere paralyzed...

Ships _to sail on a certain date could not go, for they were not loaded. Then this cur- ious paralysis took the motormen on the street cars, and the train men- on the railroads. Business stopped. Dates were cancelled, the world was upside down. The financiers, the mil- lionaires, all the society folk found that the humble people who are not muchthought on, Whose work is taken for granted, are mightily important. of use in ‘a greater degree than in the United States. Daniels can develop more rapidly. here .than anywhere else. . UT We are told that. Belshazzar was drunk. For that reason he saw the handwriting on the wall and for that reason he lost his kingdom. The use of liquor has been one of the worst foes of the human race.‘ There are many among us who would have the right to sell it restored.‘ But from every standpoint we hope that such a thing will never take place. In spite of all the assertions to the contrary, the use of liquor has been vastly de- creased since prohibition became 4a law. When it is told that we are los- ing large sums in taxes, mothing is said about the losses we used to sus- tain in arrests, crimes committed un- der the influence of liquor, the costs of court fees and the like. Lloyd George said that England’s greatest enemy was drink. A sober world will be a long stride toward the promised new age. The words of Daniel to Belshazzar are noble. They have the‘ ring of an ambassador of the Eternal, speaking words of warning even in the ears of royalty. No man is so great that he can defy the living God. The day of reckoning always comes. “He was fed with grass like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God rul: eth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will.” There is probably no such opein defiance of God at the present time as is here referred to, in the case at Nebuchadnezzar. But there is a defl- ance of God a-plenty, nevertheless. In politics, in business, in international relations, there is a vast forgetting, 0r denying, of God. Yet good signs are to be seen in the sky. Men of good- will and intelligence are seeing this and crying out against it. There is much hatred in the world, and the God .of Force is still appealed to for the settlement of many questions. We would be very happy if the handwrit- ing on the wall were as plain as it was the night of Belshazzar’s feast. If our knees knocked together as Belshaz- zar’s did, probably our repentance would be as sudden as his. But the centuries have come and gone since them, and mankind has learned much. The handwriting we see now is the handwriting of history, of the Bible, and of science. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR JULY 16. ' SUBJECTz—The Handwriting on the Wall. LESSON:——Daniel 5:1-31.

Prepaid guaranteed- Our Boy's; and .1 Girls Page I Some Money-Making Stunts By Dorothy Irene Clark, Allegan, Mich. ’ Age Nine Years. I think the most profitable way for‘ the young farmers and farmerettes to do is to raise poultry. Last summer I raised forty-two chickens and two roosters, all Plymouth Rocks, and six- teen ducks and two drakes. I had very good luck with all of them. I sold twenty-one of my pullets and one rooster for which I received four dollars apiece because they were full- bloods. That brought me $82. I put this in the bank. I already had $20 in the bank. This made me $108. I got $5.00 apiece for my ducks. I only sold eight of them and one drake. This brought me $45 more. I put $40 more in the bank which brought my bank account up to $168. I am saving the poultry that I didn’t sell for this summer, and am raising much more. I think a lot of my bank account. By Katie Coleman, Kewadin, Michigan. Age Fourteen. I have lived on a farm all my life and am going to tell you how I make money. My father gave me a New of land and tells me I can put in any crop I want to, so I most generally put in po- tatoes. I will tell you what mysister and I did two years ago. ' Papa gave us a small piece of land together and we had papa plow the it. Then my sister and I planted some potatoes. When they came up papa cultivated them and my sister and I sprayed them. Well, we took care of them tilltin the fall, then we dug them, and put them in the cellar. In the spring papa took ’them to town and sold them. How much do you suppose Ralph Wcleer, of St. Clair, Purchased these Two Pure-bred Hereford Calves from T. F. B. Sotham. - we got out of them? Well, we got $50 apiece, $100 altogether. My sister and I took what money we wanted to buy clothes with, and gave papa the rest "for giving. us the land and helping us take care of the potatoes. 1 think if all of the farm boys and girls would put in a patch of potatoes like we did you would have lots of spending money. This year I am go- ing ’to put in some potatoes, then I will write and let you know how they ground. I dragged it and we marked turned out. HIS letter box will be where the boys and girls can express their views, tell of themselves and things about the farm, or ask advice. The most interesting letters each week will appear here. Address your letters to me.—-Uncle Frank. Dear Uncle Frank: I didn’t see any letters from here, so I brought out a tablet and pencil to write to you. I am fifteen years old, have brown hair and eyes, and am five feet five inches tall. I am spending the summer months with my sister on her '100-acre farm near Dafter, and I believe I could- not find a place that I would like better to spend my vacation, because I love the country. I have often wished that all the boys and girls who live in large cities could spend their vacation in the country. My home is in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, amd though I love the coun— try, I would like to tell you how beau- tiful the “S00” is. I fear my letter Stuart Boys, of lngham County, Give Calves First Lesson in Team Work. is too long already, but I will certainly come again if I, may. » Good luck, and boys and girls, please write to me.~—Lucil1e Bush, care of H.

Say, Uncle Frank, did you ever have a dog? Well, we did, until some time ago. It was a. little one—a puppy. And, 0! the fun we had every day. He chased our ball and chased us, too. Sometimes he’d run so fast he would turn a. somersault (did I spell that right?), and we laughed till the tears ran down our cheeks. But everything has an end, and now we are without dear “King," (for that was his name). I’ve made up my mind that just as soon as I have a house of my own I will get a dog! And I’m awfully de- termined this time, too. ' Well, goodbye, Dear Uncle Frank. Best wishes to all.——Susie Lurtz. It’s too bad you lost your dog and your entertainment at the same time: I like dogs very much. Dear Uncle Frank: We live on a twenty-acre farm one and one-half miles from Romeo. We have set most of it out to fruit and we are going to raise chickens as well as fruit later on. If you ever come to Romeo I hope you will stop to see me. Romeo is a very nice little town, so everyone who goes there says. It hasn’t a. “tumble—down” house on Main street, and many towns can not boast that. We have a bed of about two thousand tulips and it certainly is a sight worth seeing when they are in bloom. My brothers have a. bicycle and we have made up a fine game to play with it. We pick up green ap« ples, peaches and plums, then one of us rides the bicycle up and down the road' and the others hide in the tall grass, or other good hiding places, and throw the apples and other things at the one Who is riding. I, think it is a dandy game, and that is why I am mentioning it, as some other boys and girls might like to playit. Well, I '11.. manning“... ‘ " Barred Rocks Anconaci ' S. C.

ALTH" By Dr. c. H. Leh'iga . 8|MPLE GOITER. HEN we speak of simple goiter we mean an enlargement of the thyroid gland. We use the term "simple" to disinguish it from the ex- ophthalmic form, which is more ser- ious, quite different as .to symptoms, and requires an entirely different line of treatment. 'The thyroid gland has to do with changing the iodine that is taken into the body in food, in such a Way that the body can make use of it. When the gland fails in this func- tional goiter may reSult. It has been found 'that in many cases goiter may be prevented by the use of small doses of iodine, usually given in the form of. sodium iodid, small doses at regular intervals. In a coun- try in which goiter is very common, the experiment Was made of giving thirty grains of sodium iodid, twice a year, to a large number of girls. After two and a half years’ observation it was found that only five out of 2,190 girls who had taken this treatment had developed any enlargement of the thyroid, whereas in a similar group of 2,305 girls, to whom no treatment had been given, 495 had definite signs of goiter. Given in somewhat larger doses the same medicine will have a curative tendency in goiters already developed, but it is slow work. I think a better plan for the treatment of established goiter is the administration of some form of iodine treatment directly into the substance of the gland by the use of a hypodermic syringe. Iodine is not a safe medicine for home treatment and the services of a physician are necessary in any case. GRAY HAIR. Although I am only thirty years old I have gray hair over a good part of my head. It began with a scabby kind of skin disease. My hair all came out where the scabs were. Now it has come in, but it is gray. Can I take a medicine that will restore it to natural color?——B. L. L. There is no medicine that will do the work. The skin disease, whatever it may have been, destroyed the pig- ment cells. Your only recourse is to make judicious use of some good hair dye, or to face it out bravely and let your friends know that gray hair does not necessarily mean old age. HAY FEVER. I am troubled each year by hay fev- er and have been told that I may pre- vent it by drinking rag-weed tea. How strong should such tea be made, and how I(éften would one need to take it. -I have heard of drinking ragweed tea to prevent hay fever, but I do not know of any cases in which the treat- ment was attended with any success. The theory is in line with the most modern treatment .of hay fever, which is to find the offending agent and then vaccinate the body against it. Natur- ally one would expect norgood result excepting in cases provoked by the pol- len rag-weed. If you‘ could make sure that your symptoms were so produced it would be worth a little experiment- ing and the weed is comparatively safe. To do any good- you would have to begin treatment six or eight weeks before the usual time for the onset of the attack. You should begin with a dose so small as to produce no symp- toms and gradually increase, taking one dose each day. There is a vaccine ready prepared against rag-weed hay fever, that could be given to you by a doctor in a .4 >» ' ~. ,4 r .g 1 , few doses with much less —with DUMORITE can. still more money by using the late. t, cheapest blasting methods.

H EAVY shipments of eggs from the producing sections of. California were made to eastern points during 1921. The total number of cars is giv- en by the government ‘as 1,105. This is nearly 200 more cars than came east from the same section in 1920. Through cooperative handling as pracg ticed by the western producer, eggs are made attractve to the buyer. T‘ 118 may account in part for the increased patronage given to western poultry- men. CU LLING FLOCKS EARLY. PPARENTLY some farmers are this year starting their culling ear- lier than usual. These days much can be seen upon the roads going to market. The hens that had occasion to. stop laying early perhaps did not realize that they were piling up testimony against themselves that is almost cer- tain to lead to conviction in the court of economy. But such is the case among the more progressive farmers. Such a tendency indicates poor laying quality and with the missionary work done along the line of culling by the poultry department of the college and the extension workers, it is pretty apt to be the means of spotting the ones that the farmer will send first to the block. H ENS EAT EGGS. HE habit of egg eating is easy to prevent but difficult to cure when it becomes wide-spread in a flock. It can be prevented by feeding a. balanc- ed ration so that the hens will not strongly crave for egg-making mate- rial. Then build the nests so the hens will enter from the back. The eggs can be removed by lowering a hinged door in front. In these partially dark- ened nests the hens do not see the eggs easily and are less tempted to scratch in the nesting litter, a habit which often breaks eggs. If eggs are accidentally broken by the hens they are not so apt to be eaten in a. dark- ened nest. Sometimes one or two hens may start eating eggs and teach other mem- bers of the flock. Hens that are ob- served breaking eg‘gs should be isolat- ed or marketed. The fact that hens eat an egg ravenously when it is drop ped and broken near them does not mark them as egg eaters that will break eggs for themselves. Various ill-tasting combinations plac- ed in eggs have been used to assist in breaking the habit. However, nothing is of much value but properly con- structed nests and frequent gathering of the eggs. Overcrowding on nests sometimes causes broken eggs. It pays to have a nest for every four hens. —G. R. CAUSE OF FEATHER EATING. ERE is a description of the worst case of feather eating I have ever seen. There were about thirty hens and’two cockerels penned in a small table scraps emptied on the ground, plus a small amount of corn at night. The house contained no scratching 11t- ter and there was no place to scratch in the yard. The'hens were in fair condition as regards bodily weight. The two cockerels: were nearly do; hens showed large bare patches. Those ‘ cockerels would stand patiently while certain of the hens tugged away atf the feathers until they came out. Then the hens promptly swallowed the feathers. A few of the hens were un- doubtedly about ready to become sick because of the crop-bound condition caused by mats of feathers in the di- gestive system. The cause of the feather eating was apparent. The cure is also made by removing the causes. I have not seen many cases of feather eating in a farm flock 'with abundant range and a. chance to exercise and scratch some place. It usually occurs in the small flock owned by a town or city breeder who is compelled to keep his poultry within a very narrow range. This lack of exercise seems to be the prime cause. It is the idle hem that has time to stand around and pull feathers from her flock mates. When one hen starts the habit it may spread through the flock through imitation. Turn such birds on the range if the weather is at all favorable. Give them plenty of- deep seratching litter in the laying. house and furnish a balanced dry mash. Possibly kill the Worst offend- ers or isolate them until they can be turned on the range where they may forget the habit—Kirby. BROODER CHICK TROUBLES. My chicks were hatched in incubat- or and I am losing them real fast. At night they seem all right; in’ the morn- ing their wings are drooped and they stand humped up. Some die during the day, and im the morning there will be as high as four and five dead in brooder. They are fed small chick feed, rolled oats and fresh water. They are now three weeks old and do not seem to grow very fast—Mrs. J. R'. Brooder chicks might die from a great variety of causes. Lack of vital- ity in the breeding stock produces weak chicks. An Over-crowding of the brooder will cause chicks to become droopy and stunted. Overheating in the brooder is’a common trouble dur- ing hot weather and just as serious as chilling in the early spring. ' Poultrymen are generally finding that the growing mash before the chicks at all times is one of the best means of producing a rapid growth. It can be made of equal parts by weight of bran, middlings, corn meal, ground oats and beef scrap. If you have only a small flock or lack time to make a mixed mash, try using one of the com- mercial growing mashes. Sour milk is a fine developer for chicks and helps to reduce digestive disorders. A grassy range is a great help in making chicks grow. Young birds confined to yards lacking in green food are apt to droop and be- come unhealthy. Shade during the day is necessary to protect growing birds from the hot sun. ' If the eggs were overheated in the incubator it might cause weak chicks. But I believe if you try plenty of sour milk and the balanced growing mash that these chicks will do better and the mortality rate will decrease. or course, better results with chickscan be obtained when they receive no set- backs of any kind from the time they leave the shell. It is sometimes difll- ,. cult to bring back a flock that has be- bare yard. They were fed largely on ' come in bad condition—K. .TEAOH HUMANS VALUABLE LES- SON 8. If You Want to Know the Real Differ- ' once Between Butter and Oleo- margarine, Ask the Animals. N the work of the National Dairy Council it has been found advisable to secure animals and to feed them various diets in order to let the public see the effects of good diets vs. poor diets. This story has been told in scientific terms with purified food substances, but the public have not had an oppor- tunity of seeing for themselves'actual animals fed on ordinary, commotn foods. Some of the animals now on hand are being fed on common ordi- nary oleomarga1ine, Others on butter, and so on. As a result of the necessity of telling this story in ordinary, every-day lan- guage the National Dairy Council is now using scores of chickens, rats, and puppy dogs. The first city to use these animals was Cleveland, the second city was Saginaw, and the third city is Milwaukee. In the case of the animals fed oleo ma1gar1ne rather than butter, it is in- _ teresting to mote that the oleomargar— inc-fed animals are but one—third the size of the butter~fed animals at the age of six weeks, the oleomargarine- fed animals showing eye weaknesses, loss of hair, weakness of skeleton, and other physical defects. .«1 One of the most striking experi— ments which is being conducted on chickens shows that the ordinary chicken feeds are rather faulty, but when supplemented with milk the chickens show remarkable improve- ment in growth; These various animals are used in displays in various store windows and the message is told by the use of pla- cards. The public become so vitally interested in these animals that the business stores clamor to get the an imals' exhibited in their windows be- cause of the vast crowds which are drawn to the stores where these ani- mals are shown. Some people will not admit that foods will affect children like they will afiect rats, but when they see that im-. proper diets are not only ffectilng rats but chickens, dogs, and 0 or species of animals they cannot help but begin to recognize that similar results will follow in the case of children.

IGURES are usually dry until they strike home and make us think. When the - American dairy farmer stops to consider thatthe average pro; ,- duction of milk of the dairy cow of the United States is 3,527 pounds; Den- mark, 5,666 pounds; Switzerland, 6,950 pounds; Netherlands, 7,585 pounds, he realizes the possibilities and sees be- fore him an obtainable goal. He will no doubt be surprised to learn that where our cow-testing asso- ciations have been at work and where farmers have done the most obvious thing in selecting cows and their sires, the average is 6,077 pounds per year, which is the record of 120 cow-testing- associations that have come under ob- servation. PROFITABLE DAIRY HERDS AT LOW COST. (Continued from page 47). farm meeting, things of interest and value were pointed out that. concern good type and conformation. Mr. Ed- win Neff has the first pure-bred Guern- sey females, and Mr. Bartow, near Lu- cerne, has an excellent Guennsey bull and some high-grade Guernsey cows. Oscoda county, with the basis of such Guernsey development, is grow- ing toward a dairy community that will develop greatly and have a good future ahead of it. Pure-bred Guern- sey heifers are being sought and the breeders in the county are planning to organize an Oscoda County Guernsey Breeders’ Association. One of the aims of this organization will 'be to put on a cow—testing association. The association will test out the cows for the members, giving them records 0E production ,and an idea of the effi- ciency of production of the cows in _ their herds. Further objects of the breeders’ organization will be the put- ting in of at least one pure-bred Guern- sey heifer in each member’s herd dur- ing the next year. The Guernsey breeders' realize that with their loca- tion and cheapness of land, they min go out and raise Guernseys to advan- tage to be profitably sold in other parts of Michigan. NATIONAL DAIRY EXPOSITION. HE department ot'agriCulture has - prepared figures based on census statistics which tell the complete story of the dairy cow. These figures will be graphically presented at the Na- tional Dairy ExpOsition at St. Paul- » Minneapolis, October 7-14“, the mecca- - of everyone interested in the progress . and development of the third largest 1 industry of this country.

THE average cost of producing one hundred pounds of marketable pork was 96.08, according to studies made by the department of agriculture on 3,574 spring pigs producing 855,140 pounds of marketable pork. ' This pork was produced last year when corn was relatively cheap. The survey shows that sixty-five per cent of the hogs returned between twenty. five and seventy-five cents per bushel of corn fed. Costs ranged from 93.75 Frank Presley Can Furnish His Neigh- bors with a Few Barnyard Stunts. in one drove, to $10.80 in the drove showing the highest cost, eighty-five per cent of the pork showing a cost of 97.00 or less per 100 pounds. An aver-. age profit of 91.28 per 100.pounds of marketable pork is shown, or an aver- age profit Of 93.05 for each pig weaned. The size of the litters, the relative economies made in the use of feed and labor, and the quantity of pork produc- ed per. sow were the three principal cost factors. The entire herd was used as a basis for cost finding, all the ex- penses on the sow being divided among the pigs in- her litter. The principal causes of high costs were the small lit— ters weaned, heavy feed and laborex- pense, and slightly lower gain 'per head. Tankage formed an important part of the rations of the economical pork. The average cost of the total quan- tity of pork produced, or 882,758 pounds, ‘which- included 27,612 pounds lost later through deaths, was 95. 88, with a range of 93. 75 on the farm making the cheapest pork. to 910. 48 on the farm showing highest costs. Thir- ty-nine of the fifty-one farms upon which cost figures were kept showed costs between 94.00 and 97.00.. . The ”farm averaging the smallest lit- 'to.,the EAT consumption per capita in" WHAT DOES IT COST TO MAKE , .1 ing the session every- visitor om be made 1,759 pounds of pork per litter in 200 days from an. average of 7.27 pigs weaned per' sow. Two farms pro- ducing an average of eight pigs per sow produced 1,616 pounds and 1,435 pounds per sow respectively. The average cost of producing a v weaned pig, ten weeks of age, was 94.50. Figures were kept on.796 spring ‘ litters. The cost of producing a. wean- ed pigvaried from $2.73 in the breed- ing herd having' the lowest cost per pig, to 910.16 per weaned pig in the drove having the highest cost. These costs included all feed and other ex- penses upon the mothers from the time of sorting the sows in the fall to be bred, to the date of weaning; also the feed and other costs on the boar while on the farm. SAVES FREIGHT ON MIXED CARS. ADECISION just rendered by the Interstate Commerce Commission will enable c00perat1've shipping asso- ciations and others to ship mixed cars of live stock. in interstate commerce without paying the highest rate and the highest maximum weight for any class of live stock included in the car. Under the condemned rule a. car containing cattle and hogs would be charged at the rate of 22,000 pounds, which is the minimum for cattle. and at the rate of thirty-seven cents, which is the rate per cwt. for hogs. The rate for cattle~over the same distance is, however, twenty-nine cents and the minimum weight for hogs is 17,000 pounds. The new ruling will oblige carriers to charge for a straight car-load of the class of stock that will bring the high- est charge. Where cattle and hogs are shipped then the cattle weight and the cattle rate will be used. In the case of sheep and cattle the sheep rate and weight will form the basis oil the freight charge. This ruling will .be of particular ad- vantage to states like Michigan, where diversified farming is practiced in that mixed cars are more common thanin the states making a specialty of feed- ing. The National Live Stock Ex- change is largely responsible for push- ing this case to its successful conclu- sion. - GIVE ALFALFA A CHANCE. AFTER the alfalfa crop has been cut for hay, hogs or other stock should not be turned in too soon. The crowns of the plantare likely to be, injured if the stock is given a chance to eat the young tender shoots too closely. Often this close feeding perh manentl‘y injures, or even kills, the plants. Let it have a good start in- .you intend posturing. It is better practice, however, to provide other crops, for pasturage and use .the al- falfa for. hay. » . SHOR‘THORN BREEDERS’ PIcNIc.

Oow.-——I 'have a fine Jersey cow that suddenly went'lame in her right foreleg. l have examined the ,hoof but failed to find a cause of her lameness. She has a calf eight days old. She is not sick, has a good appe- tite, but I would like to know what to do for her. D. M., Marine City, Mich. First, make a diagnosis, then prescribe !a remedy; always locate the lameness, then commence treatment. Give cow .rest, nature may effect a cure; if not, - you may be able to locate the ailment and assist nature in effecting a cure. Celia—I have an orphan lamb which -I am raising on cows’ milk. She has : had three sick spells; . during this suck- ness she stretches and lowers belly so much that she almost touches the ground, then she rolls over on back, and soon has poor use of hind quart- ‘ers. I forgot to say that she bloats. Mrs. C. P. L., White Cloud, Mich.— Usually the ewe's milk is rich, there- fore you made a. mistake in feeding separator milk. Feed whole milk from your best cow, and don’t forget the importance of keeping feeding utensils clean. Keep bowels open by givmg ‘ olive oil. Loss of Vision.——What ails my hens? Several of them have gone blind. They i are pure-bred Brown Leghorns and laying hens. They seem to lose their sight slewly, not suddenly, soon grow thin, and linger a few days, then d1e. Their eyes look bright and natural. Is it anything that will be likely to spread through the flock? H. R. B., Chelsea, Mich—Loss of vision is some- times due to an anemic condition of the. brain, or it may be the result of, a watery effusion or hemorrhage; how- ever, I am at a loss to know the cause 'of your birds going blind. Perhaps they pick up poison. You fail to give many symptoms of disease. Have your veterinarian make a careful examina- tion of a sick bird, also of one after death. ' Bee Sting.—About six weeks ago my seven-year-old cow went to pasture in the morning in good shape, returned . in the evening with a swelling on both ‘sides of head, between eye and ear, and some of this swelling remains. Is her milk fit for use? if slaughtered would her flesh be fit for food? She shows no symptoms of sickness, or be- ing in pain. G. J. B., Durand, Mich.— Occasionally paint bunches with tinc- ture of iodine. If swelling softens and suppurates, open, then swab out the 'cavity with tincture of iodine three times a week. Unless bunch suppur- ates, milk and flesh is fit for food. Uneven Milk Yield.——What is the trouble with cows that give about ten quarts of milk for two or three milk- ings, then‘ drop off to two to three quarts and then give full flow of milk for a few milkings and drop again. They were fresh in April. They seem to hold their milk up, but the cows look fine. W. C. W., Lake City, Mich. —I take it your cows are healthy; if so, there must be an exciting cause for them holding up milk. Avoid all ex- citement, treat them kindly and feed them at milking time. Lice on Cats—For some time my cats have been troubled With lice and the remedies I have applied fail to kill the lice. What shall I apply? A. B., Cedar, Mich—In slight cases where clipping is objected to, the coat should be brushed, or use a fine comb, in this manner you can remove many para- sites. An infusion of stavesacre one to twenty should then be applied and well worked into the hair and skin, but don’t forget to repeat the applica- tion. In young cats, or When treating debilitated old cats, apply one part chinosol in 500 parts water. The least expensive remedy to kill nits is vine- gar. Clean and disinfect the premises where your cats sleep. Remember that lice are bloodsuckers, therefore you- should feed cats plenty of nutri- tious food. .

WHEAT Comprehensive private reports antic- ipating the government’s estimate as of July 1 show a prospect of about 825,000,000 bushels of winter and spring wheat combined, or about 25,- 000,000 bushels above the average. Eu- rope’s wheat crop will fall consider- ably below that of last year because of bad weather and a smaller acreage ac- cording to reports to the department of agriculture. Official predictions up- on yields are not available but Broom- hall, the British statistician, estimates the total European crop at 120,000,000 bushels less than last year. The trend of wheat prices in the next few weeks depends upon the rate at which the new crop is sold and the demand which develops for it. Producers are doing but little contracting ahead except where $1 or more is offered at loading points, but total receipts at primaries are slightly heavier than usual for this season of the year. On the average during the last ten years receipts have more than trebled from the first week in July to the first week in August. CORN Corn is entering the critical period and the outcome will depend largely on the rainfall in the next four weeks. Unofficial estimates show a yield near~ ly ten per cent less than last year. Receipts of corn are the heaviest at this season in the last dozen years but exporters and the domestic trade are buying freely at the prevailing price level which looks cheap to most buy- ers as well as producers. . OATS Recent rains-have improved oats fi'cr‘op prospects to some extent. Har- vest of the new crop has alrea‘dy start— ed‘along the. southern edge .of the oats “belt.

Prices are trailing the action of heme date a year ago. FEEDS . An ample supply of most by-prod- uct feeds together with very light country buying keeps the feed market weak. Tankage is the only important exception. Dry weather would increase the demand, otherwise there is little prospect of change until fall buying develops. l-IAY ' ' Good quality hay, especially timothy is in demand at firm prices. Receipts of low-grades, particularly from the new crop, remain heavy and are hard 10 move. . BUTTER Demand for butter fell off sharply last week and prices weakened. Stor- age operators bought freely as long as a June mark could be obtained, but their purchases declined sharply at the end of the month. Also the export de- mand which absorbed about 1,500,000 pounds a short time ago has dwindled away. Receipts have fallen off but re- main large enough to furnish a surplus over domestic consumptive needs. The storage holdings in the United States on July 1 according .to the preliminary report were 67,848,000 pounds as com- pared with 61,991,000 pounds last year and a five-year average of 60,759,000 pounds. They generally continue to increase until around the first of Sep- tember. Prices for 92-score fresh but- ter were: Chicago 85c. In Detroit fresh cream- ery in tubs sells for 34@34%c.

GRAND RAPIDS Early Michigan peaches have made their appearance on the Grand Rapids city markets but opening prices have not been quite -as high as in recent years. This was largely due to the size and variety of the peaches. They were small clings, mostly pit and were selling at $2@2.50 per bushel. Wind- fall Duchess apples were more plenti- ful and selling at 50c@$1 per bushel. Raspberries and cherries continue in large supply with prices as follows: Black raspberries $2@2.75 per case; reds $4@4.50 case; sour cherries $1.50 @1.75 case; sweets $2@3 case; dew- berries $2.50@3 case; huckleberries $3 case. Supply of new potatoes was larger and prices lower, mostly $1.50@ 1.75 bushel. Outdoor tomatoes are tending to unsettle the market on hot- house, the market early this week ranging from 80c@$1 per seven-pound ‘basket. Wax beans were off, selling at 500@$1 per bushel. Grains were slightly easier as threshing commenc- ed this week. rWheat bids fell below $1 a bushel and rye was down to 65c. The crop is threshing out large. Poul- try was weak, fowls 18@200; broilers 22@28c pound. Eggs are stronger and scarce, with 20@2lc-bid. Live stock was steady. DETROIT CITY MARKET Even though there Was a big uspply of produce on the market most all of the products cleaned up well with the prices steady. The most active de-- mand was for cherries, green onions, carrots, huckleberries and raspberries. If anything dragged on the market it was cabbage, eggs, lettuce and rad- ishes. The prices are as follows: But- ter beans $1.25@2 per bu; black rasp- berries $5@6.5‘0 per 24-qt. case; cel- ery 35@75c per dozen; currants $4@ 4.50 per 24-qt. case;-sour cherries at $4.50@5 per 24-qt. case; sweet cher- ries $4@4.75 per 24-qt. case; eggs at 26@350; green onions 25@50c_ per doz. bunches; lettuce 20@35c per bashel; green peas $2.50@2.75 per bu; radishes $1@1.50 per bushel. HOG PRICE SPREAD WIDENS. Under an early and heavy run of packing sows the price range in the hog market'has widened decidedly in the last two weeks. Likewise the average cost of droves has dropped considerably below the top of the mar- ket paid for choice lights.‘ The $11 hog was back again- at Chi- cago at the close of last week, with indications of higher prices soon. Re- ceipts declined much more than the holiday alone would account for and as soon as the lighter supply is felt in meat distributing channels an upward trend is probable. Low prices for lard have discouraged this production, nevertheless it keeps piling up. The stock at seven main packing points on July 1 was 111,768,- 000 pounds compared with an eight- year average on that date of 90,059,000 pounds. Stocks of hog meats, on the contrary, are only 266,684,000 pounds, the lightest since 1914 and about 21 per cent below the eight-year average. The gain in lard is partly due to light. er exports while there is a keen domes- tic demand for smoked meats. Unset- tled political conditions in Europe have restricted foreign buying recently. . RANGE LAMBS STARTING. Range lalmbs are starting to market at about the usual time. A few thou- sand head of 'Idahoes have already landed at Chicago and Omaha and shipments from that state and Oregon and Washington as well, are due to arrive during the present week.

Reports from In- ‘ diana, Michigan and Ohio are not suf- ficiently complete to warrant a tore- cast of acreage at this time. In 1921, these three states had 4,618 acres of late commercial cabbage. BUSINESS BAROM ETERS FAVOR- ABLE. LTI-IOUGH a few clouds have gath- ered on the horizon recently, most of: the business barometers continue to forecast favorable weather. The building boom is the biggest ever known, and a long string of re- lated industries, such as lumber, hard- ware, cement, paints and oils are shar- ing in its benefits. The iron and steel industries are operating at above the pre-war level. Boot and shoe manufacturing, cloth- ing, furniture, implements and drugs and chemicals all show improvement over last year, according to compre- hensive Surveys. Auto and truck man- ufacturing is at a record rate. As a result the amount of involun- tary employment has dropped down to the lowest level since the depression started, and a shortage of skilled labor in certain lines and of unskilled labor in certain districts is reported. With the turn of the tide, business failures have dropped off, the number in June being the smallest since last September and total liabilities lightest since October, 1920. . The demand for loans has increased in industries which show most com- plete revival but, speaking broadly, the supply of capital is increasing more rapidly than the demand for it, so that interest rates are easing. Mortgage money is more abundant, savings de- posits are rising and the demand for investment securities, as measured by the price trend of Liberty Bonds most of which sold at new high levels last week, is increasing. About 700,000 men are out of work in the coal strike which started fifteen weeks ago. Stocks of coal are getting low enough to occasion alarm as to the maintenance 01' industrial operations. The federal government is taking a hand, however,.and the prospects of settlement are becoming brighter.‘ The strike of railroad shopmen takes an additional 400,000 men from the payroll and reduces buying power for farm products by that muchmore. It is too early to form any satisfactory notion of the outcome of this clash— although serious trouble is not gen- erally expected. The most serious development of the past week was the evidence of a near collapse of the German government and the headlong plunge of the value of the mark to a new low figure of over 550 for one dollar compared with slightly over four to a dollar in nor- mal times. . Until foreign political and financial affairs become more settled. export trade in wheat, corn, cotton, hog meats, lard and other farm products(, will be restricted. Besides Germany the countries most affected will be France, Belgium, and Italy which were counting upon large reparation pay- ments to help solve their own financial woes. In the markets for agricultural prod- ' trots, bee‘vy receipts of live stock and -Fpancas'r a 54.770 acres issue... to late commercial cabbage in sev-_ Th recont; weeks at highly profitable ' ‘ prices. cost oi: feed considered and the grains have held comparatively stable. The trend in the latter inthe next few weeks‘depends largely on the develop- ments in export circles. The general commodity price level seems to be moving upward. TO STUDY EFFECT OF MILK AD- VERTISING. NDER the direction of the Harvard 'School of Business Education and Massachusetts State Bureau of Mar- kets, in cooperation with the Federal Bureau'ot’ Markets, 3. study is being made in New England cities of the various factors influencing the con- sumer demand for milk, including the effects of advertising, publication of news telling of the health conditions of dairy herds and the like. This is the first of a series of studies that will be applied to all farm products. MANY CHERRY ORCHARDS ARE GOING IN. EPORTS from northwestern Mich- igan indicate that there have been set this spring and farmers are plan ning to be set in the immediate fu- ture, many new cherry orchards. Large orders for trees have already been placed with Inurseries. Montmorencies seem to be the favorite variety. .HELPS IN SHOCKING GRAIN. YEAR or so ago I hit on a little stunt in connection with cutting grain or corn which I believe 'helps quite a little in shocking. I’ve never seen anyone else do it, so perhaps some of your readers would profit by this suggestion. When the bundle carrier of the bind- er drops all the bundles in a pile, as it should, instead of making one row of bundles as most men do, I make two rows of bundles six or eight feet apart, dropping in one row one round and in the next row the next round. This makes it possible to place the row of shocks right between the rows of bun- dles, thus saving a number of steps in carrying bundles around shocks start- ed at the side of one row of bundles as is usually practiced. The plan is especially adapted to setting up corn where one is obliged to carry long bundles around the corn horse. But I have also found the idea a good one in putting up heavy grain.~C. S.
