CURRENT COMMENT
THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:

Talk may sell stock in air castles,

but it does not produce crops. ‘

The farm is fortunate Which has in-
telligent management.

The hardest part of having a tooth
pulled is the anticipation.

Let’s not forget that petting produc-
es more milk than milk stool manipu-
lation.

We may talk about the beauty of
the green ﬁelds out yonder, but some-
how we are always glad to get back
home.

Farming and mining are two-differ-
ent things. It is all right for a miner
to be a farmer if he wants to, but it is
bad business for a farmer to be a

miner.
T was our pleasure

Showmg of days last week
Up with a young farmer
Father who is now in charge

of his father’s general
farm. He is making good. The place
._ had gotten in poor condition through
the use of methods developed during
pioneer times—methods which provid-
ed for removing fertility from the soil
but not for replacing it.

The ﬁrst step taken by the young
man was the purchase of a small herd

of good dairy cows to which he has

been adding as opportunity offers.
Now he milks ten. Besides spreading
the manure from the cows upon the
ﬁelds, he has plowed under green
crops and hauled manure from stables
located in his market town. From
these three sources he has been able
since, he took over the management,
to put in the soil of his farming land
a fairly ample supply of humus. The
farm shows it. He is already cashing
in on his venture and now after three
years his father is taking renewed in-
terest in the business.

. This young man had accurately sens-
ed the ﬁrst commandment of good
farming: “Thou shalt keep thy soil
ﬁlled with an abundance of good plant
food.” He went about keeping the

I . c’ommandment in the most logical way,
‘ 1 through the use of the dairy cow. Now

that he has justiﬁed his position he
‘ 'will have the fullest cooperation of
" ghis senior in carrying out plans and
policies which will mean much to the
tuture of that particular farm. ,'

on and if not already arranged for it
is time that teachers be selected to
carry on this very important work for
the coming season. I
In a good many districts the same
teacher will be invited back for an-
other year. We are wondering in this

'connection, if it would not add much

to the school work of 1922-1923, and
to the spirit of cooperation betWeen
parents, teacher and students, if the
families making up the school district
should get together and have a real
surprise party for the one who is to
have the supervision of the children in
charge the next ten months? _
Somehow we have a feeling that
such a celebration would make the
school tax money go much further and
would help materially in building up
a community spirit. With that devel-
oped, the district will be in a position
to undertake other worthwhile things.

north, land- -clearing is
the popular subject and big crops from
virgin land are reported, while at the
other we are already considering ways
and means of restoring and maintain-
ing fertility in the soil.

A few acres have become idle be-
cause they were not worth farming,
but others have become infertile be-
cause they were farmed by those who
believed that the soil was inexhaust-
ible. The results have proven that
this themy was wrong.

If others still insist on trying out
this theory we may need a public re-

vival of interest in the need of build- '

ing and maintaining fertility in the
soil. Such a revival necessarily will
be based on the three big L’s, lime,
legumes and live stock.

With a knowledge of the application
of these three essentials, a wide-awake
farmer may ﬁnd real opportunities in
rehabilitating hobo acres into respect-
able crop producing land. In doing so
he will contribute to posterity as well
as his own prosperity.

with much interest a colony of mart-

ins to arrive found the ever-present
sparrows already preparing their nests.

The story of the conquest by the
martins is interesting. Upon ﬁnding
the house occupied, the newcomers
went about to take possession. There
were too many sparrows, however, and
no headway could be made. For two
days the martins kept up a continuous
ﬁght, seemingly trying to worry the
enemy into submission, but to no avail.
Then the martins disappeared. A few
days later, however, they were again
on the scene, but, this time with ample
assistance. They had successfully
solicited the aid of other martins to
give battle for the house.

Perhaps farmers could well afford to
imitate the prudence of these birds,
who, when the ﬁrst pair found the task
too great for their own strength, solic-
ited the aid of others. There are many
problems connected with the business
of agriculture and rural life which
need the cooperation of the entire com-
munity to solve them.

ests. Now, instead of
furnishing her many wood-working in-
dustries with the high-grade timber
once gathered from her forests, she ~is
able to supply little more than fuel:
wood and other minor wood produCts.

Experts have been studying to de-
termine the effect of forest devasta-
tion upon communities, farming, indus-
try and the general economic situation.
They tell us that these wood-working
industries are now paying for the
state’s past quarter-century debauch,
and, of course, the manufacturers are
passing the cost along to the ultimate
consumer.

But these experts also give hope.
They say that it is possible for Michi-
gan to pull herself together and in a
few decades produce much of the high-
class wood_for which her soils and
climate are suited and which are now
needed by these established indus-
tries. They even go so far as to say
that Michigan’s lost leadership in the
lumber business might be re-establish-
ed and permanently maintained
through the adoption of a constructive
forestry policy,

The big question is ﬁres. If these
can be controlled then nature will go
a long way toward doing the rest.

since then the word
“steadfast” has had a prominent place
in my mind.

There is great value in that word
for it brings to mind the need of aims
or purposes in living and working.
We must have more than one purpose
in life, as living involves many activi-
ties. These include a moral purpose,
a ﬁnancial purpose, and an occupation-
al purpose.

Moral steadfastness is obtained by
following the great moral laws which
we all should know well. A ﬁnancial
steadfastness means a deﬁnite plan
of handling our ﬁnancial resources. If
we have that, we are not enticed by
the glittering offerings of proﬁcient
talkers. '

In farming, steadfastness means a
farm plan, a crop rotation, a deﬁnite
live stock program or an endeavor to
attain a certain standard of perfeCtion
in quality for your fruit and other
farm products.

Steadfastness means you have de-
cided on the port you want to reach,
you’ve set your rudder and you are

.sailing directly toward that port.

There is steadfastness in virtue but.
not in vice; in well-earned prosperity
but not in poverty; in good farming
but not in careless soil robbing. Stead-
fastness gets yOu somewhere; the lack
of it gets you‘nowhere.

as the result of too many fruit growers
doing as they liked instead of as they
should when packing, much of this
central west fruit acquired a bad rep-
utation.

But things are changing fast, for
fruit growers are realizing the value
of cooperation and uniﬁed effort, and
ar‘e,dOing much to change this reputa-
tion from bad to good.

In Illinois, even though it is not a
fruit. state, they have come to realize
the value of a good name and are go-
ing after it. The State Fruit Exchange
there has decided on a state-wide
trade-mark under which carefully
standardized and packed fruit will be
sold.

Such a widespread and thorough en-
deavor to get a good reputation can
not help but bring greater ﬁnancial re-
turns and satisfaction to Illinois fruit
men, for there is both proﬁt and satis-
faction in a good reputation.

‘ Crowds

CROWD is more’n one—some-
times. For inst, when Sam Jack-
son and me set in the front seat of my

 
, Oughto it’s.a crowd, but when Sophie

is there it is just right.

Now, in most cases more’n two is a
crowd, especially when the opposin’
sexes is concerned. Seems like when
two‘is together there’s lots of harmony,
but three is uncomfortable, for two of
them and amusin’ to one. Guess Adam
and his lady friend was the only ones

what didn’t have
' a crowd bother
’em in their love
'makin’.

Now, this is
about crowds and
not about love, so
"I am goin’ to tell
you about the big
crowds we got in
when We went'in
our Oughto to the big city park to see
our ansistersh the‘ monkeys.

When we got to the city, there was
a :policeman at each corner what
would wave tome to come, and when
I ast what he wanted he would say “Go
on.” I don’t understand it, but seems
like a lot of this city livin’ is nothin’
but “Come on” and “Go on ”

I don’t like to get in a Oughto crowd.
All you do is startin’ and stoppin’. It
is just like the poet says: '

Oughtoes to the right of them
Oughtoes to the left of them
Oughtoes in front of them
Volleyed and thundered:
Stormed at by policemen, and yell,
Boldly they went pell mell
Into the jaws of death,
Into the mouth of hell
Drove the six hundred.

And at night it sure does look like
the Charge of the Light Brigade, with
all them headlights on. It sure is con-
fusin' to have all them lights comin’
toward you like hundreds of big eyes.

Seems like when you stop in the
city it ain’t stoppin’ a tall. It’s parkin’
instead. And if you don’t park in the
right place.“ you get parked in the jail.
When we got to the big park I thought
it was park all over, but I found it
wasn’t so. They wasn’t satisﬁed till
I got between two white lines, which
they said was myxparkin’ place.

When I got stopped where they’d let
me, 'my crowdin’ inclinashuns was
gone. This startin’. and stoppin’ is
awful- hard on your disposition and
your feet.

-I guess I’ll have'to tell you about
the rest of the crowd next week, ’cause

course—this practice of using
. - commercial nitrogen in orchards.
Some folks like to believe that all you
need to do is spread the nitrate on the
ground beneath the trees, forget all
about it, then goout in the fall and
harvest a big crop of ﬁrst-class fruit.
This is just as far out of the question
as it is to believe that cracking the
whip'is the only thing necessary to do
a good job of mule driving.

When everything else is taken care
of, then use nitrogen. Bread, ”butter
and potatoes ﬁrst, then cake, if you
‘choose to put it that way.

. Nitrogen is known to stimulate the
set of fruit and help the crop along,
although nitrogen is generally thought
of as a producer of tree growth. 0r-
chardists in Michigan, in New Jersey,
in Ohio, and in the northwest, testify
to the value of nitrogen in producing
lar‘gercrops of peaches and apples.

Around Mosier, Oregon, quite a lot
of nitrate is used by fruit growers.
Reports from that section show that
last year splendid results/Were secur-
ed. One man says:

“I could see little diﬂerence in the
fruit of the Ben Davis, but nitrate in-
- creased the wood growth. There was
a twenty per cent increase in the fruit
of the Red Cheek Pippin. I have used
it only one year.”

“On some trees there was a ﬁfty per
cent increase, with an average of twen-
ty—ﬁve per cent,” says another. "I
have used it only one year and expect
to get a big increase in my next year’s
crop, due to the greatly increased vig-
or of the trees. ‘I used three pounds
per tree on Spitzenberg, Arkansas
Black and Black Twig."

Near Hartford, Michigan, tests were
made last year with ammonium suv

phate,‘another form of nitrogen. In
peach orchards, this material was used
at the rate of one and one-half pounds
per tree. The peaches were larger and
held to the trees better than on trees
not fertilized. There was better color,
too.

Investigation by the Missouri Ex-
periment Station show that a marked

The ﬂy in the ointment is this:
Nitrate can not be used indeﬁnitely
without ploWing under humus in some
form—manure, straw or a cover crop.
Orchards will wash badly in winter and
bake in summer if the use of nitrate
alone is carried too far.

For thOSe reasons, C. A. Macrum, of
Mosier, Oregon, suggests the use of a

spring, applications bf any quickly
available nitrogenous fertilizer. An
experiment conducted at Riverview
Orchards at McBaine on the Missouri
river, showed that ﬁve pounds of sodi-
um nitrate or three pounds of ammon-
ium sulphate, or ﬁve pounds of dried
blood of high grade made the average

cover crop. For this purpose vetch is
generally used, but since vetch does
poorly in that part of Oregon, rye is
Macrum’sxchoice. He says: “Rye ben-
ﬁts the soil by adding hum-us, but if
you supply the rye withaquickly avail-
able form of nitrogen, it will take it
up and ﬁx it in organic form so that
when the cover crop is turned under in
the spring, the soil holds an added
amount of organic nitrogen available
for slow assimilation. The rye should
be sown about the middle of August.

a strip twelve to ﬁfteen feet wide. The I
. ﬁrst rains will bring it up and produce
quite a growth before winter sets in. .

“In the latter part of February or
ﬁrst week in March, if the winter has
broken, broadcast the nitrate of soda
on the strip of rye between the tree
rows, using an amount equal to three
pounds to each tree._This method puts
the humus and nitrogen where they
are needed directly over the feeder
roots. In about two weeks the rye will
have taken on a deeper green color.
The sowings for the following years
should be made at right angles to the
previous one. Sowing on two or three
inches of snow is good practice. The
nitrate should be thoroughly crushed
before sowing. Tramping on the sacks
will usually be sufﬁcient, or it can be
emptied into a box and crushed with
a club.

The amount of nitrate per tree in
any given orchard depends on the
condition of the orchard. Usually

‘three pounds to the tree in orchards

not over ﬁfteen years old is sufﬁcient.
While nitrogen is required for the
seeds, it is also a stimulant to the tree.
Too much wood growth will result if
an excessive amount is used.”

Nitrate of soda is of no beneﬁt when
alfalfa, clover, vetch, or other legum-
inous plant is used as a cover crop.
Evidence to this effect is seen in Was-
co county, Oregon. One fruit grower
in that county says: “My neighbors
got good results with nitrate but on
my place there seems to be little if
any result. I have used it for two
years on all kinds of fruit and can see
no good results. Perhaps this is due
to the fact that we plow under a vetch
and rye crop and the vetch may take
the place of the nitrate.”

Years of Cooperative Lamb Marketing

Forty -ﬁ‘ve Years Have Prawn tﬂe Value of Mir Endeavor
By Glenn G. Hayes

Goodlettsville, Davidson county,

Tennessee, decided to market
their 1877 crop of lambs through an
organization of their own, rather than
sell them to the buyers, they probably
did not dream that their action would
prove to be historic. That was the
case, however, for the organization
they created, the Goodlettsville Lamb
Club, is still operating successfully af-
ter forty-ﬁve years, and is the oldest
existing cooperative marketing asso-
ciation in the United States.

From George W. Jackson, who as a
boy helped his father drive lambs to
the ﬁrst shipment made by the Good-
lettsville Lamb Club in May, 1877, and
who has been its secretary since 1898,
I learned the circumstances surround-
ing the formation of that historic or-
ganization. '

“Fifty years ago Central Tennessee
produced many early lambs,.although
the industry was then really in its in-
fancy,” he said. “In these days the
lamb buyers drove from farm to farm
in the spring and early summer. Al-
»most always their bids were the same
—$3. 00 a piece for the good lambs and
$2.00 each for the rest. Occasionally
prices would be below that schedule,
but not often. No difference was made
for weight, quality, age, nor anything
else that affects the market value of a
lamb.

“Rumor had it that the 1876 lamb
crop had proved to be especially proﬁt-
” e buyers, so a dozen of the

WHEN a dozen lamb growers at

its would be turned to them. After a
few caucuses held behind sheep barns,
a plan of cooperative selling was work-
ed out and put in effect in 1877.”

That plan, as Mr. Jackson explained
to me, provided that the members of
the Goodlettsville Lamb Club should
bring their lambs to town on a day
ﬁxed/by the ofﬁcers, where the lambs
were sorted and graded by a commit-
tee of the growers. This job done, the
committee received sealed bids on
each lot of lambs, the bids being sub-
mitted by the buyers or anyone who
might want to ship them to a central
market. With only ‘a few modiﬁcations
this plan has been followed by the
Goodlettsville Lamb Club since its in-
ception in 1877.~

_ Duringthe early years the club fre-
quently received $1.00 per lamb more
for its offerings than others were paid,
and its membership gradually expand-
ed. After a few years, however, this
margin suddenly narrowed, and it was
discovered that the buyers were meet—
ingthe day before and arranging their
bids. About 1885—nobody seems to
remember the exact date—the commit-
tee in charge of the sale set the buyers
on their ears by rejecting all bids, or-
dering cars and shipping the lambs to
the Louisville market.

That move had the desired effect,
and for many years there was spirited
bidding for the Goodlettsville lambs.

‘Then once more the buyers were al-

leged to have “ﬁxed things” before-

 
'The greatness...» Men at annual Gathering.

hand, and again the committee shipped
the lambs. Following that, the com-
mittee often consigned the lambs eith-
er to Louisville or East St. Louis or
Nashville. In recent years the club
has shipped the lambs about as often
as it has accepted the local buyers’
bids.

For some years past the ﬁrst ship-
ment of the Goodlettsville Lamb Club
is usually made about May 15. It con-
sists of fall or early winter lambs, ewes
which have outlived their usefulness,
wethers, etc. Around June 1 is staged
the big event of the year for Goodletts-
ville, when the lambs are received,
sorted and sold. This is usually an
all-day affair, as the committee must
pass on nearly two thousand lambs at
this time. They are divided into two
grades, and are sold accordingly. The
late lambs are sorted and sold about a.
month or six weeks later.

When the lambs are graded, all of‘

equal grade are turned together and
sold that way. Each man’s lambs are
weighed when graded, and each farmer
is given credit for so many pounds of
No. 1 lamb, so many of No. 2, etc. If
there is a shrinkage of weight in any
grade, it is distributed among all who
have lambs in that pool. If a lamb
dies after grading, the loss is distribut-
ed over the pool.

The practice of grading the lambs
and pooling them by grades has been
followed by the Goodlettsville Lamb
Club ever since the organization was
founded. The grading is done by a

committee 0f three who are elected by _ ‘

STATE PROMINENT IN CIDER AND

VINEGAR MAKING.

 
T is said that one great industry he-
gets another. This is shown by the

I fact that because Michigan is ﬁrst in

cucumbers, and also a’ leader in apple
growing, it has come up in the ranks
to third place in the production of ap-
pl'e vinegar, which is used so much in
pickling cucumbers, and to sixth place
in the manufacture of apple cider.
Only Pennsylvania and New York lead
it in the production of vinegar.

WESTERN APPLE CROP SMALLER.

 
A REPRESENTATIVE of one of the
national fruit~exchanges said that
the apple crop of the country was
about double of that of last year. But
in the western box apple region the
crop was about ﬁfteen per cent less,
and in Canada about twenty per cent
less. The big increase this year has
come in the mid‘western states into
which Michigan must ship. This will
give her competition in the disposal
of her crop.

APPLE AND POTATO SHOW.

 
BIG apple and potato show is as-
sured at Grand Rapids December
4-8, through the united efforts of The
State Horticultural Society, the Potato
Exchange, and the West
Michigan State Fair Association.
Frank G. Row, president of. the West
Michigan Fair, has been elected chair-

‘ man of the permanent Apple and Po-

tato Show Association. J. Pomeroy
Munson, of the State Horticultural So~
ciety, is vice-president; Lyman A. Lil-
ly, West Michigan Fair, secretary, and
K. K. Vinning, Kent County Agricul-
tural-Agent, treasurer. The executive
committee consists of J. W. Weston,
T. A. Farrand, and Prof. R. E.‘ Mar-
shall.

STU-DY FARMERS’ POWER PROB-
LEMS. ‘

 
HE Michigan Public Utilities Com-

mission has appointed a commit-
tee of sixteen electrical experts and
agricultural leaders to investigate the
problem of: bringing electricity to the
farmer. When this committee makes
its report it will present information

iwhich ’will be valuable to the entire

country.

This committee which is working
under the direction of President Fri-
day, of M. A. C., will determine the
approximate cost of serving the farm-
er with electricity. The cost of distri<

\bution and upkeep which is one of the

great problems of furnishing electric-

‘ity to rural sections, will be fully in—

‘vestigated.

FARMER GETS RENT FOR SIGN
SPACE.

 
IN some of the counties the road
commissioners have ruled that
board signs along the roadway are pub
lic property. This has necessitated the

‘tearing down of many signs in these

contracts.
Agencies which have been renting

this space to advertisers have since
’had to get. permission of farmers be-

” BIG CROP OF WILD CHERRIES.

year.

ers are not infrequently seen, and the

 
Rains have‘been abundant. Rail-4
road coaches ﬁlled with the berry pick- ,

pickers return at the close of the dayw

with well-ﬁlled pails. The Gazette of
Houghton, reports that the raspberry
and huckleberry crop in that section
is the largest in a decade and the ber-
ries are of unusual size. If statistics
were available, the wild berry crop
would be seen to have added enor-
mously to the food resources of the
peninsula as well \as providing a con-
siderable item of exported fruit. One
opinion is that the number of pickers,
this summer, will be less than a year
ago because of the improved industrial
conditions.

HIGHWAY AROUND~LAKE MICHI-
GAN. ,

 
IT is being agitated that a completely
improved highway should surround
Lake Michigan. This can be effected
by closing certain gaps that still exist
in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wis-
consin. Illinois and Indiana, however,
have nearly, completed their portion of
the work. The gaps in upper Michi-
gan are not extensive and the route
in the southern peninsula from Macki-
nac to the southern boundary is stated
to be already ﬁnished.

PH EASANT EGGS DISTRIBUTED.

 
AN agent of the State Department of
Conservation has been distributing
pheasant eggs from the .state game
farm near Mason to farmers in the
vicinity of Negaunee.‘ The eggs will
be hatched under hens and the birds,
when they are old enough to care for
themselves,- will be liberated in the
woods. The settings of eggs are ﬁt-
teen in number. Farmers in other dis-
tricts, will receive these eggs, which

' have already reached every county in

the Upper Peninsula, it 1 stated.
Farmers are said to be quite nterested
in the game possibilities of the pheas-
ants and numbersof birds have been
seen already in the woods, itis re-

CONFERENCE OF GRANGE MAS~’
TERS.

\.

 
CONFERENCE of State Grange

,Masters was called by National
Master Lowell, at Syracuse, New York,
July 28-29,. This is an innovation in
grange work, as it is the ﬁrst time in
ten years that the state masters have
been all called together at one time.

One object of the session was the
discussion of grange. extension through
the enlargement of the membership.
The ritualistic work of the grange was
emphasized at this meeting. The mas-
ters attended a meeting of a local
grange where the entire ritualistic
work of the grange was exempliﬁed.

Plans for the extension of grange
ﬁre insurance were discussed, as well
as a system of grange automobile in-
surance and funeral beneﬁt.

At a recent grange meeting in Vir‘
ginia at which A. M. Loomis, of the
Washington oﬂice, was a Speaker, Vir-
ginia farmers said that they had found
the grange of more help to the farm-
ers of their state than any other farm
organization.

CANNING GETTING BACK TO NOR~
MAL.

 
HE United States Department of

Agriculture in its survey of vege-
table canning crops has found that the
tomato canning industry is back to
normal. Tomatoes for canning are
growing on 217,000 acres this year.
Last year the acreage in tomatoes was
88,000.

Under stimulus of war demand for
canned products the canning tomato
acreage reached its peak in 1918 with
365,560 acres, and a pack of 15,882,332
cases of No. 3 cans. In 1919, acreage

dropped to 254,058 acres, and in 1920,

230,596 acres.

The heavy pack of 1920, together
with the large' war department surplus
unloaded onto the market, and dealers
charging war-time prices for canned
goods, trade moved slowly, resulting in
a large carry-over and out of 1,348
factories only 527 reported acreage.
The 1921 pack was the smallest since
1907. This small pack permitted a
cleaning up of old stocks and a return
topractically normal in 1922.

The same conditions apply to the
corn pack. Sweet corn for canning is
being grown on 186,500 acres, compar-
ed with 119,000 acres in-1921, a can-
ning acreage of 157 per cent of last
year’s crop is indicated.

The area of cannery peas has in«
creased to 140,000 acres from 108,000
acres in 1921. Snap’ beans for can.
ning are being grown on 8,970 acres
in 1922, compared with 7,057 acres in
1921, an increase of 127 per cent.

’ , OW-TESTING— association activi-
,, ties" in Michigan have been in~
creasing in many counties and a
sound growth of associations is going
on' throughout- the state. The Dairy
Department of the Michigan Agricul-

tural College {is pleased to repert that ~

"there are eighteen associations active-
lyoperating July 1,‘ 1922. . This ’is the
largest'number that has ever been ac-
‘tive in. Michigan at any one time. '
There‘are many reasons for the cow-
testing associations and some of these
have perhaps been mentioned at differ-

ent times in our farm papers. Some

men will join a cow-testing association
to perhaps get a record on their‘cows,
other men to ﬁnd out how proﬁtable
their cows are, still _' other men will
want to have a basis for making sales

Cow-testing Has Led to an Increased Usb‘of Pure~bred Sires.

and use the cow-testing association to
classify their cows accordingly. Then
again, others will wish to have a check
on the buyer of their products and
none of these reasons mentioned above
"can in any way minimize the value of
being in a cow-testing association.

A good cow-testing association plans
out a long-time program and will put
dairying on a sound, substantial basis,
where it continues year after year. Per-
haps the greatest success in having a
good. cow-testing association
tester ’himself, who makes the rounds
of the association. The history of good
cow-testing associations in Michigan
has. been the history of good testers.
In this connection we wish to point out
that a good cow-tester must necessar-
ily have an enlarged vision of the work
he is carrying on. His ﬁeld of activi-
ties are greatly diversiﬁed, even
though he is only directly hired to do
cow-testing association work. The cow-
tester must be a leader and he must
have a, good personality. .He has a
large ﬁeld of community development
and improvement and he has a job in
which he can put on the very best of
a. program of work that he may desire
to‘carry out. The cow-tester also can
be instrumental in helping members in
improving the feed rations, balancing
of rations, and interest the members
toward .cooperatlve buying of their
concentrates, such as linseed and cot-
tonseed meal. Further, he has the pos~
sibility of working up interest in a bull
associationor bull club in the cow—test-
ing association membership. Just in
, this connection we have recently heard
frgm Mr. Leslie "Wilcox, the cow-tester
in the Wayland-Allegan County Cow-
testi-ng Association. He reports the
entire membership in‘his association,
, Which includes twenty-seven ditterent

not directly belong tothe cow-testing
association to raise better live stock.
Naturally it can be seen how wide«
spread and- effective the work of the
cow-tester may become in activities of
this nature. -'
There have been many instances in

Michigan where improvements are not-

ed from the ﬁrst‘year of. \the cow-test-
ing association work, when compared
with later years. The butter-fat aver-
age will certainly increase and gradu-
ally approach a very high efﬁcient
point of production, somewhere around
250 to 300 pounds of butter~fat in the
association. Production of milk and
butter-fat on this high level is a good
paying proposition and also means efﬁ-
cient 'dairying. There are now in Mich-
igan about 3:500 cows being tested ev-

 
ery. month in the cow-testing associa-
tion work. The average production
would be about twenty-four pounds of
milk and one pound of butter-fatl‘daily.
We ﬁnd that the production-of the
herds will vary considerably and that
there are some cows giving much larg-
er amounts than others. In July there

were 450 cows out of 3,000 in cow-test- '

ing association work, giving over forty
pounds of butter-fat’monthly and 514
cows over 1,000 pounds of milk per
month. ,

The entire cycle of COW-testing asso-
ciation work will always revolve
around the slogan of “Feeding, Breed-
ing and Weeding.” It is absolutely es-
sential that the cow of high-class
breeding have an abundance of good
feed to allow her to produce efﬁciently.
Likewise, it is also good business to
use a milk scale and milk sheet to
weed out the inefﬁcient cows that will
always occur in any herd. These nec-
essary steps in building up a high-class
herd have always been the outcome of
success among the breeders of good
dairy cattle. It is known that the cow-
testing association brings out these
very features to the man who often
just keeps cows, and he in turn sees
the light-for better dairying. This is
the purpose (if the cow-testing associ-
ation work in Michigan, to. improve the
conditions of Michigan dairy farmers.

NODULES ON SWEET CLOVER.

 
Will you kindly tell me if nodules
form on sweet clover roots the ﬁrst
year when inoculated? Also, is Mam-
moth clover as sensitive to acid soils
as sweet clover or alfalfa?—C. F.

If the proper bacteria is present,
the nodules will form on sweet clover
roots the ﬁrst season; in fact, they are
oftentimes formed in a very few days
after the young seedlings appear above
ground.

Mammoth clover is not as sensitive
to acid soils as sweet clover or alfalfa.
Alfalfa is the most sensitive of the
common leguminous plants to soil
acidity. Sweet clover probably ranks
second, June clover and Mammoth clo-
ver following in close order, whil’e
vetch and soy-beans are even less sen-
sitive than Mammoth clover.—Megee.

KILLING HONEY LOCUSTS.

 
I had about forty rods of the so-call-
ed honey locust hedge, which I cut
down last winter, but now they all
have sprouted out again. Now they
tell me if I cut them off in August and
put on thick salt it will kill them.
What is your advice? I have also
thirty rods of the same which was
never trimmed off and grew up to
good-sized trees and measure from six

to eight inches through, which 1 am ‘

O

told will make better fence posts than
cedar. If this is true, when should I
cut them down to make the best posts
and also rot or kill the stumps ?—H. M.

Honey locusts sends up shoots after
being cut off very readily. The shoots
will, however, be a little less vigorous
if the trees are cut in August than if
out in the winter or-spring. An ar-
senic solution consisting of one pound
of arsenic and three pounds of soda.
has been used in some cases to kill the
roots of trees and prevent their sprout-
ing. The solution is, however, very
poisonous and cannot be used satis-
factorily in the case of shrubs or bush-
es. The solution is made as folloWs:

Dissolve three pounds of either caus-
tic soda or washing soda in a conven-
ient amount of water, using heat if
desirable to assist and hasten it. Then
slowly add one pound of arsenic pre-

~viously made into a thin paste, stir-

ring all the time; place on a strong
ﬁre and allow it to boil for at least a
half hour, stirring from time to time
and being careful to stand on the side
away from the fumes as they are poi-
sonous and are apt to cause sickness.
When the arsenic is thoroughly dis-
solved, the solution should be made
up to the bulk of one gallon by adding
sufﬁcient water, either hot or cold.

 
HE condition of every crop in
Michigan was up to the ten-year
'average or better on July 1, and
every crop in the state was above‘the
average for the United States. While
our crops usually rank well in compar-
ison with those‘of other states, seldom
does it happen that every crop shows
a favorable condition at the same time.
Weather that is unusually favorable
for one class of crops is likely to be
detrimental to others. Likewise,'un-
favorable weather for a few days at
any time is liable to coincide with the
critical period in the growth of certain
crops yet have no effect upon the oth-
ers. Rainfall during the summer
months is apt to vary greatly within
Short distances Local showers. fre-
quently extend but a mile or two in
Width and only a. few miles in length.
Some localities will be visited often
with showers, others will be missed
throughout nearly an entire season,
causing conditions ranging from a near
failure to a bumper crop. If heavy
rains come, they often deluge certain
sections, knocking down grain, wash-
ing hillsides away, and drowning crops
on lowlands. If the ground is dry
much of the water runs off withOut
penetrating the soil or giving any
beneﬁt. ‘

This year, while some localities have
had an excess of moisture and some
crops have been injured thereby, in
most sections the rainfall has been
normal or below. The showers have
.been moderate and come at timely in-
tervals. The weather has not been
extremely hot‘for more than a day or
two at a time, and evaporation has
been much less under those circum-
stances.

The combined condition of all crops
in the state was.109.1 per cent as com-
pared with the ten—year average. Only
two states, New Hampshire and Ver-
mont, exceeded this condition, while
the Condition for the United States
was 97.9 per cent, or slightly below the

corn belt, including the states of Indi-
ana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, South Da-
kota, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Ok-
lahoma and Texas show conditions be-
low the ten-year average.

Notwithstanding the high level of
crops as alwhole in Micnigan, the only
crop that can be classed as a bumper
one is hay. Present estimates place
the crop at 4,400,000 tons in round
numbers, a record one except that of
1916 when 4,713,000 tons were produc-
ed. Grain crops in general show a lit-
tle better than an average yield. Beans
were planted extensively and show an
increase of sixty-three per cent in
acreage over last year and a condition
of eighty-nine per cent. The acreage
of sugar beets dropped from 163,800 in
1921 to 106,400 this year. The principal
fruits range from seventy to eighty
per cent, and the small fruits and truck
crops ninety per cent or better. The
acreage of potatoes planted was seven
per cent larger than last year.

While prices of farm products are
about thirty per cent lower than the
average of the last ten years, they
have made a gain of twelve per cent
over one year ago. Meat animals have
also advanced during the last year,
the average prices on July 1 being

. 14.6 per cent higher than on the same

date last year.

‘With a condition uniformly above
the United States level for each crop,
and an outlook for slightly better than
average yields within the state, yet
without prospects of excessive sur-
pluses, and with improved prices the
outlook for the farmers of Michigan
is on the upturn and far less gloomy
than last year. Michigan’s diversiﬁed
farming reacted last year to the ad-
vantage of its farmers in comparison
with the more specialized types of ag-
riculture in the big corn belt states.
With this advantage in the beginning
and excellent prospects for the current
season, Michigan may congratulate

herself on being in a highly saitisfac-z
tory agricultural position in relation to,

her- sister state

 
In killing the trees, sink the blade
of an axe into the wood as if it were
intended to cut the tree down. Then
pry downward on the back of the axe,
pour some of the poison into the re«
sulting cavity and allow it to run .down
well and then withdraw the axe. One
hack is said to be sufﬁcient for a six‘
inch tree, two for a. tree ten inches
in diameter, three for an eighteen-inch
.tree, etc. Small trees may be cut off
.low down and the solution may be
daubed on- witht a swab~stiok so as to
prevent . suckering. Care should be
taken to keep people and animals away
until rain has washed the poison thor-
oughly away. Other poisons are some-
times used but no poison will always
work satisfactorily as much depends
upon physiological and weather condi-
tions. —Chittenden.

Concerning theT matter of taking
of an aC1e of your property f01 1e-lo-

that the statute provides that if the
board of county road commissioners
or state highway commissioner, in re‘

from the owner of the premises the
required land for such re-location then
they have the right to condemn the
land for highway purposes, and the
value is determined by the jury ap«

As .to the adeqﬁacy of the amount
offered to you, you are advised that
it would be impossible for any one not
familiar with the surrounding circum-

QUACK GRASS RARELY PRODUCES

seed in the quack. Would like to know
if it will seed back-by the hay being
fed and returned to the land as ma.—
nure. —-F. S.

Ordinarily quack grass, does not pro—l

duce seed but multiplies and spreads
by its underground stem or root stock.
If a patch of quack is allowed to re-
main undisturbed for a considerable
length of time the roots become crowd;
ed and the plant becomes dwarfed,
thendt will produce seed.

You need have no fear of spreading
this plant by means of manure from
live stock consuming the hay. In most
every instance there are no seed. If
there should be seed practically all
would be destroyed when consumed by
the animal, and if some should per-
chance pass through the animal and
notvbe destroyed you need have no
great fear. Only a few would germ-
inate and grow, anyway. Besides, if
some do grow there/is nothing to be
greatly alarmed at. In a sane, sound
system of rotation of crops, containing
hoed or cultivated crops and a. good
thorough, vigorous practice of cultiva'

tion, such as onb must have if he suc-

ceeds at farming, neither quack grass

Demand requires that a season’s
fertilizer shipments be made in a
few weeks’ time. With modem
machinery like the above Swift 8;
Company can handle a large vol-
ume and make prompt shipments

HE farmer who uses 200 pounds of fertilizer to the
acre actually applies less than one ounce—no more
than he can hold in his closed ﬁst ~— to each square yard of soil.

And yet this small amount of fertilizer must supply the
essential elements of plant food to nourish not one but a

number of growing plants.

Fertilizers must be evenly and accu-
rately mixed to supply each plant with
just the right amount of plant food. This
requires modern mixing and grinding
machinery such as is used by Swift 8%
Company in the thorough mixing of
Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers, and huge
storage facilities which permit of curing
and shipping fertilizer in perfect me-
chanical condition.

The Swift reputation

For over ﬁfty years Swift 8; Company
has steadily maintained the reputation
of making each Swift product the best
of its kind: This reputation stands
back of every bag of Swift’s Red Steer
Fertilizers.

When you buy Swift’s Red Steer Fer-
tilizers, you are getting the most for
your money because only the highest
grade and most productive sources of
plant food are used. The kind and»
amount of each fertilizer ingredient is
based on practical ﬁeld results and
scientiﬁc investigation, insuring a ferti-
lizer that meets the needs of your soil
and crop. ' —

Francisco F arm Notes
' By .P. P. Pope '

 
OOPERATION is not yet com-
plete—the foolish are not all
dead. There is a matter which
by your county agents until you thor-
oughly believe in them, but 'so far you
has been brought to my attention from
time a) time in the past, but more viv-
idly of recent date, that I feel calls for
some publicity. Just what to say and
what to leave unsaid is a question, but
we will do the best we can and abide
by “the results. What I refer to is the
practice oﬁ selling the services of pure-
bred sires,and collecting in advance,
fees that represent several times the
value of the sire. Let me explain it
thus: A smooth salesman comes to
you with a proposition to place a pure-
bred registered sire in your neighbor
hood free of. cost
to you, providing
you and your
neighbors will
pledge a sufﬁcient
number of cows
to his services.
Now, you have
pure-bred s i r e s
preached to you
through’ the farm
press, the agricul-
tural college and
have not seen your way clear to take
“care of the ﬁrst cost. So this new
proposition looks good to you at ﬁrst
sight and you fall for it and spend a
day or so helping the salesman to in
terest your neighbors. The result is,
he very soon gets away with the cash
or its equivalent to pay for the ser-
vices of ﬁfty, sixty or seventy cows at
$3.00 each for three years, or $9.00
each. The next job for the salesman
is to shift his responsibility, so he very
kindly offers to sell you the bull out-
right for a merely nominal sum, or
perhaps without paying anything ex-
tra, if you will simply care far the bull
and fulﬁll his guarantees. Ownership
is sweet, so you get a bill of sale for
the bull you haven’t seen, at a cost ap-
parently of only a few service fees paid
in advance, and a lot of responsibility.
You may not know it, but the sales-
man’s next move is to ﬁnd the bull he
has told you so much about, so he
hunts up the man who has him to sell
and buys him for the bottom dollar.
He is buying him to sell again, so can-
not afford any but very conservative
prices, $100, $125, $150, delivered. Of
course, he buys the best bulls he can
for the money, but the proﬁts are of
ﬁrst consideration, and in this respect
the Sky is the limit. I recently sold a
bull for $150 and learned upon delivery
that he had been sold on the above
plan and that the salesman had walked
out of the community with $450 for
him. A friend of mine sold a bull some
months ago for $200 and he was plac-
ed in.a community only a few miles
away at a cost of $600. I saw a bull
last fall, a poorer individual than eith-
erlone of these. He came from Can-
ada and I do not know what he cost,
the buyer, but he cost the community
in which he was placed $800. So much
for the facts, now for the comments.
Any method that encourages the use
of pure—bred sires will mean much to
the community to which it is applied.
These bulls will do a lot of good in
their respective communities. The plan
used in ﬁnancing the deal is admirable
and makes it easy for any community
to own a good sire. But the deplor~
able thing about it is that any com-
munity cf farmers should allow them-
selves to be thus duped into paying

to the salesman. A little community
cooperation would secure the same re-
sults and save the community two-
thirds of the cash. But for lack of a
little initiative, at little local leader-
ship, a little community cooperation,
it pays an enormous toll and allows
itself to be exploited outlandishly. Oh,
will we farmers ever come out of the
wilderness? Will we ever get our eyes
open, or will we forever be content to
hold the bag? Verily, cooperation is
still‘an infant. The fools in our own
pack are not all dead.

 
HOW TO USE A HOE.

 
SOMEONE has said that a gardener

is no better than, his tools. Even
if the tools themselves are all right,
ignorance of their care and use may
cause the loss of much time and effort.

In small gardens the hoe is the prin-
cipal tool. Buy a large, strong one;
good width in the blade will save
many strokes that are necessary when
the blade is narrow and cuts but two-
thirds as much at a stroke. Naturally
too, a heavy head does cleaner, more
effective work because of the greater
momentum of its fall.

I have used the terms “stroke” and
“fall,” but properly, there should be
little of the chopping motion in a hoe’s
manipulation. The expert’s style could
better be called dragging—with Just
enough Pressure to uproot the weeds,
yet impose no fatiguing strain on the
worker’s aims. A 11081 should not
hump over; it is not only tiresome but
unnecessary. Most novices bend far
over when they have to work close
around plants, but after some practice,
accuracy of stroke will‘ cure this. One
farmer tells me that a man who un-
derstands hoeing will do ﬁfty per cent
more work in a given itme'than a be-
ginner.

Much depends on the hoe’s sharp-
ness. The American factory mechanic
is reputed to spend three times as
much time as the European workman
sharpening his tools, but he produces
nearly twice as much ﬁnished product
thereby. The same principle applies
to the use of garden tools; keep them
sharp and in, good working order.

A good, ﬁne ﬁle is the best sharpener
for your hoe—and good also for the
spade, grass shears and lawn-mower.
Hold the hoe ﬁrmly, preferably in a
vise, and aim to keep the bevel ﬂat
and at an ahgle of about forty-ﬁve de-
grees. Though the hoe wears faster,
it pays (in better, easier work) to have
the square edge inside. Keep sthe
points of the blade square by careful-
ly shaping them with the ﬁle. Learn
to hoe both right and left-handed, as it
is better for the tool as well as ec0<
nomical of strength.

Don’t use one ﬁle forever. Partic-
ularly if it is used on a number of
tools and for various purposes, a ﬁle
gets dull, and wastes times for its
user. Clean it out occasionally with
the point of an awl, and use a little
machine oil when ﬁling the hoe.

I think every garden worker should
have his own hoe, particularly if the
workers are of greatly different height.
I have said that a hoer should not
stoop too much, but he will have’to if
the angle of hoe-blade with the handle
is too acute. .The blade should set at
just enough less than a. right angle to
give the desired cutting effect when
the gardener stands comfortably erect

 
HE'fol-lowing gives details for the
construction of a handy boat‘which
will save much work in removing
Jarge stones from ﬁelds.
Bill of Materials.
Two hardwood planks two inches ,by
twelve'inches by six feet; one hard.
, wood plank two inches by six inches by
twenty-eight inches; two three-quarter
inch by ﬁve-inch bolts with washers.
This stone boat is very handy in
moving stone which are one to three
feet in diameter. The best- asset of
the machine is that it requires no la-
bor or ”back work” in loading or un-

 
loading.
and can be made from materials on
every farm.

It is made by rounding off an end of
each plank and boring a two-inch hole
in that end for the chain to which the
team can be attached. The plank are
placed side by. side four inches apart.
The inside edges are bevelled. The
short plank is bolted across the end
opposite the round points, one bolt in
each plank. -

When a stone is to be moved the
plank are spread so that one goes on
each side of the stone. A chain to
which the team is attached is fastened
to the hole in each plank. As the team
goes ahead the planks close together
and the stone is lifted and moved to
a desired point. To unload, the chain
is removed frOm one plank so the team
can spread the boat, “allowing the stone
to rest on the‘ ground.

WAR EXPLOSIVES FOR FARMERS.

 
REPORT from the ofﬁce of the
secretary of agriculture indicates

/ ‘ that the use of picric acid for land-
‘ clearing purposes has been very suc-
cessful. '

In Minnesota 744,000 pounds were
distributed to- 3,511 farmers. This
cleared about_3.5,000 acres of land, at a
saving of about $70,000 to the farmers
of that state. ‘

There is now available about 6,000,-
000 pounds of picric acid, of which 1,-
500,000 pounds is available to the farm-
ers of Michigan. '

The government makes no charge
for this explosive, but it is necessary
to dry it out and cartridge it before its
‘ ‘ usage. For this the government makes
‘ a. charge —on the cost basis.

It is an interesting fact that this Reo
Speed Wagon, which enjoys a larger sale
in cities than all others combined, was
originally intended for farm service.

In a word, it was designed and built
expressly to meet conditions of rural
hauling. /

There were several trucks of the old
types that would perform on paved city
streets.

But once off the hard, even surface——
and loaded as the farmer must load at
times to get his hauling done—they soon
went under, or showed an upkeep cost
that was excessive.

We felt that Reo was ideally equipped
with experience and reputation to under-
take this job that others shied clear of.

We knew that certain factors were
necessary to success.

First, a rugged, dependable motor with
a pull like a mule and built to stand grief.

Designed Expressly .
For the F armer" s Needs

 
i

That Reo Four motor is unquestionably

the greatest motor ever built—bar none.

After more than ten years in service
there is none to dispute that.

Chassis must be just as rugged—~cap-
able of standing up under excessive
overloads and on all kinds of roads.

Transmission, clutch, gears, axles, steer-
ing gear—all must have stamina to
meet any condition. ‘

Speed too was essential if the truck were
to pay for itself in saving of time, of
men, and horses. '

This Speed Wagon does all that, and in
addition, pays a handsome proﬁt by get-
ting your produce or stock to market in

perfect condition, and early enough to,

guarantee you top prices.

For all loads ranging from a quarter-
ton to a ton-and-a-quarter.

A lighter truck will not do your work—
nor will it prove as economical as this
Reo Speed Wagon. '

ﬂustered, turned as her companion
edged closer. “Maurice, this is Mr.
Fairchild,” she announced, and Fair—
child could do nothing but stare. She
knew his name! A second more and
it was explained: “My father knew
his father very well.”

“I think my own father was ac-

quainted too,” was the rejoinder, and
the eyes of the two men. met for an
instant in conﬂict. The girl did not
seem to notice. '
' “I sold him a ticket this morning to
the dance, not knowing who he was.
Then father happened to see him pass
the house and pointed him out to me
,. as the son of a former friend of his.
Funny how those things happen,
isn’t it ?”

“Decidedly funny!” was the caustic
rejoinder of the younger Rodaine. Fair-
child laughed, to cover the air of in-
tensity. He knew instinctively that
Anita Richmond was not talking to
him simply because she had sold him
a ticket to a dance and because her
'lfather might have pointed him out. He
felt sure that there was something
else behind it—the feeling of a debt
which she owed him, a feeling of com-
panionship engendered upon a sunlit

road, ~during the moments of stress,
and the continuance of that meeting
in those few moments in the drug
store, when he had handed her back
‘her ten-dollar bill. She had called her-
self a cad then, and the feeling that
she perhaps had been abrupt toward a
man who had helped her out of a dis-
agreeable predicament was prompting
her action now; Fairchild felt sure of
that. And he was glad of. the fact,
very glad. Again he laughed, while
Rodaine eyed him narrowly. Fairchild
shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m not going to believe this story
until it’s proven to me,” came slowly.
“Rumors can be started too easily. I
don’t see how it was possible for a
man to fall into a mine shaft and not
struggle there long enough for a man
who had heard his shout to see him.”

Then quickly

“Who brought the news?” Rodaine
asked the question.
Fairchild deliberately chose his

words:

“A tall, thin, ugly old man, with
mean squint eyes and a scar straight
up his forehead.”

A flush appeared on the other man’s
face. Fairchild saw his hands con-
tract, then loosen.

“You’re trying to insult my father!”

“Your father?” Fairchild looked at
,him blankly. “Wouldn’t that be a rath-
er difﬁcult job—especially when I don’t
knew him?"

she .

“You described him.”

“And you recognized the descripv
tion.” '

“Maurice! Stop it!” The girl was
tugging 'at' Rodaine‘s sleeve. “Don’t
say, anything more. I’m sorry—” and
she looked at Fairchild with a glance
he could not interpret—“that anything
like this could have come up.”

“I am equally so—— if it has caused
you ambarrassment.”

“You’ll get a little _embarrassment
out of it yourself—before you get
through!” Rodaine was scowling at
him. Again Anita Richmond caught
his arm.

“Maurice! Stop it! How could the
thing have been premeditated when he
didn’t even know your father? Come.
—1et’s go on. The crowd’s getting
thicker.”

The narrow-faced man obeyed her
command, and together they turned

 
cent of the cost of which remained to'
be paid. To Sam, the loss of Harry
was a small matter, but that loss en-
tailed also the disappearance of a yel-
low, carbon—ﬁlled diamond, as yet un~
paid for. His lamentations became
more vociferous than ever. Fairchild
went forward, and with an outstretch-
ed hand grasped him by the collar.

“Why ,don’t you wait until we’ve
found out something before you get
the whole town excited?” he asked.
“All we’ve got is one man’s word for
this.”

“Yes,” Sam spread his hands, ‘fbut
look who it was! Squint Rodaine!
Ach—will I ever get back that di-
amend?”

“I’m starting for the mine,” Fair~
childyreleased him. “If you want to
go along and look for yourself, all
right. But wait until you’re sure about
the thing before you go crazy over it.”

out into the street to avoid the con-
stantly growing throng, and to veer
toward the picture show, Fairchild
watching after them, wondering wheth-
er to curse or kick himself. His tem-
per, his natural enemity toward the
two men whom he knew to be his en-
emies, had leaped into control, for a
moment, of his tongue and his senses,
and in that moment what had it done
to his place in the estimation of the
woman whom he had helped on the
Denver road? Yet, who was she?
What connection had she with the
Rodaines? And had she not herself

done something which had causes a

fear of discovery should the pursuing
sheriff overtake her? Bewildered, Rob-
ert Fairchild turned back to the more
apparent thing which faced him: the
probable death of Harry—the man up-
on whom‘ he had counted for the knowl-
edge and the perspicacity to aid him
in the struggle against Nature and
against mystery—who now, according
to the story of Squint Rodaine, lay
dead in the black waters of the Blue
Poppy shaft.

Carbide lights had begun to appear
along the street, as miners, summoned
by hurrying gossipmongers, came for-
ward to assist in the search for the
missing man. High above the general
conglomeration of voices could be
heard the cries of the instigator of ac-
tivities, Sam Herbenfelder, bemoaning
the loss of his diamond, ninety per

However, Sam had other thoughts.
Hastily he shot through the crowd, or-
ganizing the bucket brigade and
searching for news of the Argonaut
pump, which had not yet. arrived. Half-
disgusted, Fairchild turned and start-
ed up the hill, a few miners, their car-
bide lamps swinging beside them, fol-
lowing him. Far in the rear sounded
the wails of Sam Herbenfelder, organ-
izing his units of search.

Fairchild turned at the entrance of
the mine and waited for the ﬁrst of
the miners‘ and the accompanying
gleam of his carbide. Then, the went
within and to the shaft, the light shin-
ing downward upon the oily, black wa-
ter' below. Two objects ﬂoated there,
a broken piece of timber, torn from
the side.of the shaft, where some one
evidently had grasped hastily at it in
an effort to stop a fall, and a new, four-
dented hat, gradually becoming water-
soaked and sinking slowly beneath the
surface. And then, for the ﬁrst time,
fear clutched at Rodaine’s heart——
fear which hope could not ignore.

“There’s his hat.” It was a miner
staring downward.

Fairchild had seen it, but he strove
to put aside the thought.

“True,” he answered, “but any one
could lose a hat, simply, by looking
over the edge of che shaft.” Then, as
if in proof of the forlorn hope which
he himself did not believe: “Harry's
a strong man. Certainly- . he would

know how} to swim. And in any event
he should have been able to have kept
aﬂoat for at least a few minutes. ‘Ro-
daine says that he heard a shout and
ran right in here; but all that he could
see was ruffled water and a ﬂoating
hat. 1—” Then he paused suddenly.
It had come to him that Rodaine might
have helped in the demise of Harry!

Shouts sounded from , outside, and
the roaring. of a motor truck as it
made its Slow, tortuous way, up the
boulder-strewn ‘road with its gullies
and innumerable ruts.“ Voices came,
rumbling and varied. Lights. Gain-
ing the mouth of the tunnel, Fairchild
could see a,mass of shadows outlined
by the carbides, all following the lead-
ership of a small, excited man, Sam
Herbenfelder, still seeking his dia.
mond. '

The big pump from the Argonaut
tunnel was aboard the truck, which
was followed by two other auto ye.
hicles, each loaded with gasoline en~
gines and smaller pumps. A hundred ’
men were in the crowd, all equipped
with ropes and buckets. Sam Herben-
felder’s pleas had been heard. 'The
search was about to begin for the body
of Harry and the diamond that circled
one ﬁnger. And Fairchild hastened to
do his part. ,

- Until far into the night they worked
and strained to put the big pump into
position; while‘crews of men, four and,‘
ﬁve in a group, bailed water as fast as
possible, that the aggregate might be
lessened to the greatest possible ex-
tent before the pumps, with their boss
es, were attached. Then the gasoline
engines began to snort, great lengths
of tubing were let down into the shaft,
and spurting water started down the
mountain side as the task of unwater-
ing the shaft began. ‘

But it was a slow job. Morning
found the distance to the water length~
ened by twenty or thirty feet, and the
bucket brigades nearly at the end of
their ropes. Men trudged down the
hills to breakfast, sending others in
their places. Fairchild stayed on to
meet Mother Howard and assuage her
nervousness as best he could, dividing
his time between her and the task be
fore him. Noon found more water
than ever tumbling down the hills—
”—and most of Ohadi was there. Fair-
child could distinguish the form of
Anita Richmond in the hundreds of
womenand men clustered about the
opening of the tunnel, and for once she
was not in the company of Maurice
Rodaine. He hurried to her and she
'smiled at his approach.

I By Dr. C. H. Lerrigo

 
' MORE ABOUT... BLOOD PRESSURE.

 
HE Michigan Farmer has already
given its readers one talk on
blood pressure this year, but so
many and varied inquiries are receiv-
ed for further information that we will
reopen the topic. The latest inquirer,
Mrs. A. H., is thirty—three years old
and has a blood pressure of 145. She
wishes to know what is normal for
that age and if there is always harden-
ing of the arteries with high pressure.
She says that sometimes her doctor
makes light of her trouble and at oth-
ers refers to it as if it were a very
serious matter, so she would like to
know what the probable outcome real-
, ly is.
"'.There is no absolutely ﬁxed blood
pressure rate. It may vary with the
individual, the conditions of living, the
sex, emotions, time of day, hunger,
heat, cold and many other factors;
but the variation is not very great ex-
cept for disease. It is safe to estimate
normal blood pressure at 120 for 'the
average person of 20, and add a halt"
point for each increasing year of age,
so that this patient of thirty-three
should have a pressure of 127. As
years increase there are many irregu-
larities of life that will easily cause a
variation of as much as ten points
without any radical departure from a
state of health.

Hardening of the arteries always
causes high blood pressure, but it is a
mistake to suppose that the two things
always go together, for many cases of
high blood pressure have normal
arteries.

As to the gravity of high blood pres-
sure, I am bound to say that usually
it is a serious matter. It depends upon
the systematic disturbance that is at
the bottom of it. If this can be dis-
covered and cured all is well. But all
too often the trouble is not discovered
until the curable stage is a thing of
the past and. no more can be done to
palliate. A good plan is that of having
a thorough overhauling once each year
so that irregularities may be detected
while still at a curable stage. You
should not be content with the mere
statement that you have high blood
pressure. You should insist that your
doctor ﬁnd out why it is high and di-
rect his treatment to the organ at fault
rather than attempt only to palliate
the high blood pressure. You must
give your doctor plenty Of time in such
cases and have lots of patience for it
is often a very difﬁcult job and there
may be cases in which the most pa-
tient efforts will be unsuccessful. In
such instances the doctor will lay
down for you certain rules of living and
you will probably be able to put in a
number of very satisfactory years in
spite of your disability.

"- ACHING FEET.

 
My feet ache very easily if I walk
much, but soon become comfortable
when I am off the-m. The aching is
almost unbearable at night after work-
ing all day.——B. F.

This is probably due to weak arches.
You can improve the muscular tone by
such exercises as rising forward on
the toes, walking with your weight on
the outer border Of the foot, and walk-
ing without quite allowing the heel to
"touch the ground. In severe cases it
is sometimes wise to use artiﬁcial sup-
ports, but no young person should rely
upon them. ‘ ‘

that whatever size tire he selects is of the same quality—the Goodrich
onevquality standard.

J. L. F.—Any mayonnaise dressing
is as good as you buy in bottles, if it
is made with the best of materials,
pure. olive oil, a good grade vinegar,
and fresh eggs. Here is a recipe for
mayonnaise.

Two 'egg yolks, one teaspoon salt,
one-fourth teaspoon cayenne, one tea-
spoon mustard, one tablespoon vinegar,
one tablespoon lemon juice, one cup
olive oil, one—fourth teaspoon paprika.

Mix dry ingredients and add egg
yolks. The dry ingredients are mixed
best and most quickly by using a sieve.
Then beat until the egg yolks thicken
slightly. Add olive oil drop by drop
and beat until thick. When four ta.-
..blespoons of olive oil have been added,
it may be added faster. When the
mixture gets too thick thin with the
lemon juice and vinegar.

To make Thousand Island dressing,

add one cup of chili sauce to half the -

quantity of dressing you have made.

Boiled Salad Dressing—One table-
spoon sugar, one teaspoon each of salt,
mustard and ﬂour, one egg, one-half
cup milk, one-fourth cup vinegar, ta-
blespoon butter. Thoroughly mix dry
ingredients, beat in the egg, add milk,
stir well, and put in double boiler. Add
the vinegar slowly as the mixture
cooks, stirring constantly. When thick-
ened, remove from ﬁre and add butter.
A second egg yolk may be substituted
for the ﬂour. The recipe may be dou-
bled or trebl'ed.

“Modesty”

AFTER reading Mrs. B. 0. R.’ 3 ideas

on the subject, I feel as though I
should like to present the other side—
the side of a. girl who is nineteen and
conservative. One who uses neither
powder nor rouge, just enough talc to
take the shine off of the end of her
nose. Is that immodest, too?

Right. here I should like to say that
people who are looking for “sights”
and bad things, are always going to
see what they look for, and to spare.

“ThOSe ,were' the good old“\days,”
when women were modest and wore
hats perched like gigantic rhubarb
leaves on their foreheads, and a yard
or two of drapery hitched to the rear
belt line and lying in sanitary fashion
along the ground, where they could
wipe up all stray dust and germs—in
those same days when women laced

 
until the waist could be spanned with ‘

were squeezed either above or below.
It is much saner to go to the other
extreme.

Policemen say there are less acci-
dents among women now since skirts
are shorter. Why, short skirts and
natural, uncorseted waistlines must be
healthier when they allow unhampered
movements. ,

Right here I’d- like to say that we
young folksnever think about present~
day dress being immodest until some-
thing is said about it. We don’t re<
member when people wore any other
kind of clothes. Why, these are comfy
and we just accept them as a matter
of course until some spectacled, high-
necked prude comes along and says
they’ re wrong. Then we girls and boys.
who never gave a. thought to the sub-
ject before just dig in to ﬁnd out why
they are wrong. - Do we ask mother
or father why? You bet we don’t.

Did she do it in a. sleeved bathing suit,
with shoes and stockings and a corset
on? Why round, muscled chests and
strong, ﬂat back, and tanned rosy

No, in these days of traveling to and
fro in our Ford, and going to high
school, we don’t blush. We are out
more among people.

About the cigarettes—those will pass
—they are just a fad, but the English
lady royalty smoked before Queen Vio-
toria died, and women have as much
right to smoke as men. It ought to be
against the law for anyone to smoke
cigarettes.

There are extremists now, just the
same as in any age, but people as a

are now and always have bear—inside.

CANNING THE BERRIES.

 
Huckleberries.——Now that berries
are ripening in all parts of the state

7 and prospects ‘are good for a, bumper

crop everyone will Want to can a. good
supply for the coming years. For can-
ning huckleberrles practically the
same methods of canning may be used
as with other berries. '

Glass jars or enamel-lined cans are "

needed. The condition of the fruit will
have much to do with 2the quality on
the product. Berries should be gath-
ered in shallow'trays or baskets, and
not in deep vessels which allow them
to be bruised orcrushed. They should
be uniformly ripe and sound, and as
large as possible. Clean the berries

-erekly Sermon
By N./A. McCune

THE ROMANCE OF CHURCH BUILD.
ING. ’

HEiinterest of the world in the'

tiny land of Palestine, which is

about the size of Connecticut,
never wanes. Always something is
happening there that keeps it in the
eyes of the world. And if nothing ever
did happen there anymore, enough of
history attaches to the land to keep
it fresh'and green in" the eyes of the
men for unknown ages. Whittier
writes of it: “Blest land of Judea!
thrice hallowed for song, where the
holiest of memories pilgrim-like
throng; in ‘the shade of thy palms, by
the shores of thy sea, on the hills of
thy beauty, my heart is with thee.
'With the glide of a spirit I traverse
the sod made bright by the steps of
'the angels of God.” Palestine has been
owned (or governed) by as many na:

tions as any spot ,,

on the globe Be-
ginning witli the
Canaanites, you
t h e n have t h e
Hebrews, then the

Assyrians, n e x t
the Persians, the
Egyptians, t h e
Greeks, the Rom-
ans, the Turks,
then the Chris-
tians, then the

 
Turks again,
down to very recent years, when once
more the land has come into the ruler—
ship of a Christian .nation, and, at least
most of us, hope that it will remain
under that nation’s kindly domination.
And this list is only partial.

At the present time there is a vast
interest in Palestine on account of the
Zionist movement. Much is written
of it, and the daily papers contain oc—
casional references to it. Zionism is
a doctrine of certain Jews to the effect
that Palestine is to the populated by
the Jews once more, in fulﬁllment of
prophecy. All, or most, of the Jews
of the world are to dwell once more in
theJand made sacred by the memories
of David and Elijah and Moses and
Isaiah. The very thought of such a
thing is of supreme interest. It seems
to bind the presentwith the past. It
takes us, at a thought, from the pres-
ent whirling age of steam and elec-
tricity and speed to the age when men
made their journeys on cacel-back, or
rode on asses. There is a fascinating
romance about it that is hard to beat.
And the lesson we have today is one
that naturally brings this subject to
our minds. The people are rebuilding
the temple, and setting the .holy city
once more in order. And they succeed
in doing so. Will some such movement
be repeated? Will Zionism be an ac—
complished fact?

Will the ﬁfteen million Jews of the
world return there to live? The pas-
sages that have been interpreted as
meaning that the Jews would all re-
turn to Palestine, it seems, must be
studied again and interpreted in an-
other way. Already such passages
have been realized in part, when the
people returned after the exile, as in
the lesson of today. But a large num-
ber preferred not to return. Life was
very satisfactory where they were. And
the modern Jew looks upon the Holy
Land much as they did in those times.
One eminent.authority says: “There
is nowhere in Scripture the slightest
indication that the Jewish people are
to return to their ancient land. Those
long lists of ,texts on which millenarian
interpreters love to dwell, have not the

'rernotest reference to such a reas-

sembling of Israel in Palestine in the
present or at any future time, They

Our Letter Box/

THIS 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:

We have been taking the Michigan
Farmer for the last few. months. As
I have come from Chicago I have nev-
er seen or heard of the Michigan
Farmer, (I Wish I had). My parents
just bought the farm .here and we in-
tend to make our home here.

I enjoy two kinds of sports, baseball
andvtrack sports. In Chicago I was
on the West side track team. I would
like to correspond with some boy (or

will close, hoping not to take up too
much of your valuable space—Your
nephew, Arthur Irwin, Moore Park,
Mich.

We welcome you to rural Michigan
and to our Boys’ and Girls' Depart-
ment. I hope you will use the depart-
ment to your greater enjoyment and
beneﬁt.

\

 
Dear Uncle Frank:

I hope I am not writing too often.
But as I have started the ball arolling
from Redford I want to keep it rolling.

'I have received six' letters from girls
and one from a boy. I am sorry I
haven’t answered, but as I had the
great honor to be the county champion
of the Hot Lunch Clubs, and also to
go to the Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege for a. week, I haven’t had time to
write yet. I enjoyed each and every
letter and will write as soon as I have
time.

I am proud, but sorry, to say I was
the only~ champion from Redford.—
Your Redford Niece, Lucille Stuckey,
Redford, Mich.

Congratulations, Lucille. I, bet you
had a nice time atM. A. C. You are

towns. But I have learned that I can
have more freedom in the country, as
you don’t have to be careful not to
step on somebody’s lawn or throw
your ball into somebody’s window.

I can go ﬁshing when I like when
my work is done. and I don’t have to
walk miles and miles to get to a
stream. '

I wish some of the boys and girls
would write to me.

I am twelve years old and Still have
great hopes ahead.

Best success to all the boys and
girls and to Uncle Frank—Rex Ellis,
Reed City, Mich.

Glad to hear from you, Rex, and to
know that you have great hopes ahead.
A boy of twelve ought to.

I am another‘farmerette who is in-
terested in “Our Letter Box.” I have

.been reading the letters and am send-

ing my answer to the contest.

I am fourteen, and will be in the
tenth grade when school begins. Mean-
while I am having a. delightful vaca-
tion on our eighty-acre farm.

I have lived on the shore of Lake
Michigan for a long time, and also at
East Lansing. I think it is very inter-
esting to live in a college town, and I
also enjoyed swimming in Lake Mich-
igan. We have a. Collie dog who will
swim like a. ﬁsh as long as we will let
him stay in the water. '

I am a Camp-ﬁre Girl and we have
splendid times at camp. Are any of
my cousins Camp-ﬁre Girls?

I have to walk half a mile every day
for our mail, and I would be pleased
to be able .to carry back letters from
my uncle and cousins. _

Wishing you good luck, Your‘niece
and friend, Georgia Brown, Hastings,
Mich.

Some of the other ‘girls have men-
tioned they are Camp-ﬁre Girls. May-
be next time you can carry back a
letter from me. ,. ‘ .

By Rex Ellis, Reed City, Mich.

There are many occupations‘ which
are attractive for themselves alone. I
love all living things, but I’ll take gard-
ening for mine. ‘Why?

Have you ever watched closely, the
tiny seeds after they have been placed
in the ground, how they swell and
burst and force the ground up so they

, can. peep through?

First one leaf and then another, till
one of God’s many creations have
grown to bear the vegetable it was
intended for.

It is God’s own handiwork and he
has shown us, that by working the
ground and giving them plenty of wa-
ter, we have promises of abundance.

By Kathryn Dittrich, Mt. Clemens,
. Mic’h.

I love gardening best of all work.
I love tO' see the pretty green plants
come up in the spring and know that
with good care they will, in the course
of time, bear lovely and fragrant blos-
soms. And is it not somewhat like
our own lives? Those, who have con—
quered the weeds, bloom .out in a pro-
fusion of loveliness and virtue. While
the weaker ones, who have let the
weeds conquer them, are cast out with

. the weeds.

By Harold E. Arney, Jones, Mich.

The work that I like best is school
work. Although some boys and girls
may not like it, it is my favorite. In
after life if you do not have an educa-
tion, you can not do much in this
world, for there is not an occupation
you can do good without an education.

iNot even farming can be done scien-

tiﬁcally without an agricultural educa-
tion, and it is the same with other
branches of labor. We need smart
men at the head of our government
that we can trust.

This is why I like school work the

' best.

By Elmer J. Smith, Age Sixteen,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Of all occupations I have ever heard
of, farming appeals to me the most.
A farmer spends his days in open

ﬁelds where sunshine, pure air, and

nature is in abundance.

Beautifui~-scenery and blue sky are
on all sides and serve to inspire the
farmer to his daily task.

Food is in abundance and direct
from nature. It is supplied by the.
farmer to the whole world and what
men can point with more pride to the
products of his labor than can our own
Michigan farmer?

By lda Cryderman, Age Fourteen,
Twining, Mich.

The work I like- best is cooking and
my reasons are as follows:

First, it is easy and pleasant and
very necessary and important, for the
health-and strength of the young de«
pends on the quality of the meals serv-
ed them by the family cook.

Secondly, it is a real science, the
study of which is always interesting,
as there is always something to learn.

Thirdly, a good cook has a great
many chances to earn money at home,
and as everyone ‘eats she is always
popular.

nation.” Many people will not agree
with this interpretation, but I give it
here so that we may see how many
Bible scholars view the question.
There are also other facts which are
pertinent._ The present population of
Palestine is 650,000, of whom one-tenth
are Jews. The country is able to sup-
port about one million people. But
this will be possible? only when the
agriculture is brought to a very high.
level. Large tracts are not in cultiva-
tion, and were not in Old Testament
times. It is thus apparent that this
tiny state can never be the abode of
ﬁfteen million Jews, besides the Chris-
tians and a large Mohammedan popu-
lation. Modern machinery is being in-
troduced, we are told. Tractors will
soon be plowing the ﬁelds where Ruth
gleaned, and where Gideon was thresh-
ing when he was caiied to ﬁght the
Midiamites. It seems well-nigh impos-
sible to think of these things in con-
nection with the land where .these
events tOok place, and where the feet
of the Savior trod. But the idea of a
Jewish state has been very dear to
many Jews in every age, and there are
many now who look forward to that

consummation. These are the nation-
alists, the poets and the dreamers.
They are working toward that end

now. But to others it seems unjust to
give the Jews absolute control and to
drive out those who now live there
when Palestine is as dear to the Chris-
tian as it is to the Jew. The Jew had
the country and lost it. The Bible
teaches that it was his unbelief that
caused him his disaster and loss.
Most modern Jews do not regard the
Zionist movement as one in which they
will take part.

Henry Morganthau, America’s most
noted Jew, formerly United States am-
bassador to Constantinople, says the
Zionist movement is “politically un-
just,” “spiritully sterile, economically
unsound." The American Conference
of Rabbis in 1918 passed this resolu-
tion: “We are opposed to the ‘idea
that Palestine should be considered
the home land of the Jews. Jews in
America are part of the American na-
tion. The idea of the Jew is not the
establishment of a Jewish state, not
the assertion of Jewish nationality,
which has long been outgrown.” This
brief study of the Zionist idea connects
this lesson on the rebuilding of the
temple closely with modern times.

Is it not a heartening picture here,

this enthusiasm of the people over .the '

building of the temple? “Many shout—
ed aloud for joy: so that the people
could not discern the noise of the
shout of joy from the noise of the
weeping of the people; for the people
shouted with‘ a loud shout; and the
noise was heard afar off.” No wonder
that the temple was rebuilt. Such
gladness in the work of God would
build or rebuild anything. Traveling
through Europe one comes upon great
cathedrals which have been standing
for several centuries. These are won—
derful structures, both in size and
beauty. Many of them were built by
all the people of the community. Not
the church members alone, though
most of the people were members of
the church, but by all classes of people
giving time or labor or artistry to the
work of building. That is the attitude
that ought to prevail in any commu-
nity. - o

Oil an Aermotor once a year and it is always
oiled. Every moving part IS completely and fully
oiled. A constant stream of oil ﬂows on every
bearing. The shafts run in oil. The double gears run in
oil in a tightly enclosed gear case. Friction and wear
are practically eliminated.‘

Any windmill which does not have the gears running in oil is only
half oiled. A modern windmill, like a modern automobile, must have
its gears enclosed and run in oil. Dry gears, exposed to dust, wear rapidly.
Dry bearings and dry gears cause friction and loss of power. The Aermotor
pumps in the lightest breeze because it is correctly designed and well
oiled. To get everlasting windmill satisfaction, buy the Aermotor.

CONTROLLING POULTRY LICE.

N hens and chickens there are
found seven species” Of lice, on
ducks, geese and turkeys, three.

These lice stay on the fowls prac-
tically all the time. Therefore, the
only effective treatments are those
which are applied directly to the fowl.
At present the most economical and
the most effective remedy is sodium
ﬂouride, a white powder 'which can be
purchased-at any drug store. A little
of this powder held between the thumb
and foreﬁnger and dusted among the
feathers next to the skin on the head,
neck,’ back, breast, under the wings
and below the vent will keep these
various kinds of lice under control.

One pdﬁnd of sodium ﬂouride is con-
sidered enough to treat one hundred
fowls.

Mites are those insects which infest
poultry only at night, and hide in the
crevices of the meets and nests dur-
ing the day. They can best be con-
trolled by keeping the poultry houses
and roosts clean, and by spraying the
roosts and nests thoroughly with crude
oil, kerosene, or some heavy coal tar
preparation.

 
SELL EXCESS COCKERELS.

EXPERIENCE has shown that the
Spring cockerels sell best when
they weigh about two pounds, so now
is about the best time to put them on
the -mafket. Also the brOilers are
bringing less every day and the mar-
ket for them cannot be expected to
pick up during the summer.
There is another reason why excess
cockerels should be disposed of. The
rapid growth of both male and female
birds has likely caused a crowding of
roosting accommodations, which is a
serious thing during warm weather.
If the cockerels are sold now, the pul-
lets will have about twice as much
room.

 
CARE OF GOSLINGS.

Will you please tell me what ails-my
goslings? They are about four weeks
Old, their legs give out, and they can
not walk, will just sit right down. How
old do they have to be before you can
leave them in the rain? How old be-
fore you can let theh eat anything but
grass and water?———C. B. L.

A good mash for goslings consists
of two parts wheat middlings and one
part cornmaal. ”This is made into a
moist, but not sloppy mash and given
four or ﬁve times per day. Only ﬁne
fresh grass is needed for the ﬁrst two

days. At the age of one week some
breeders give scalded cracked corn
and furnish a grassy range. Some

breeders use bread and milk as a start-
ing’ feed for goslings. The bread- is

soaked and squeezed dgy. It is best to
have goslings where they can be driv-
en into a shed or colony house at the

injured by being scaked and chilled.
As they become large and vigorous
there seems little danger from rain.‘
Leg weakness in goslings is difﬁcult
to cure when it ocCurs but is usually
prevented by keeping the birds on a.
grassy range ”on a balanced ration so
they will make a. nOrmal growth. Lack
of vigor in the breeding stock may be
"responsible for some losses. .

 
CONTROL “OF' SCALY LEG.

IT has been found that the oil drain--
ed from the crank case of' an auto-

mobile is excellent for the control of

scaly legs, or for painting roosts, etc.,

to control mites. , '

A rough scaly condition of a hen’s

 
legs is Often thought an evidence of
age, but it is in reality a diseased con-
dition brought about by the activity of
a mite which burrows under the scales
of the legs and sets up an irritation,
ﬁnally resulting in the condition indi-
cated. Dipping the legs and feet once
or twice in crude Oil or a half-and-half
mixture of kerosene and linseed oil
will usually suﬁice. Kerosene alone
works fairly well, but lacks body and
may, cause blisters if it gets into the
feathers. ‘

SICK CHICKS AND POULTS.

 
Would like to know what is the trou-
ble with my young chickens and tur-
keys. The chickens are nearly three
months old, have had free range, fed
cracked corn and some wheat, and all
the sour milk they would eat, but for
the last month 'four or ﬁve died every
day until I have almost none left. They
sit around a few days and hang their
wings, do not eat, and ﬁnally die. Have
some three weeks Older that seem to
be all right yet. The turkeys are from
two to six weeks old and are being
raised by hand in a small yard which
is changed every day, fed a. small
amount of oatmealwand sour milk. Up
until a few days ago they were all fine
and well, put new they die off like the
chickens except that" they aren’t sick
as long, some only-a. few hours—E. S.

It will pay you to perform a post-
mortem on the turkeys and chickens
that ,die and note the condition of the
internal organs. The symptoms indi-
cate digestive disorders. Turkeys are
seed and insect eaters and need free
range to thrive. In a small yard it is
difﬁcult to raise them even with the
best of care. u

Possibly the chicks are overcrowded
at night and this weakens their vigor.
Look for lice on.both the chicks and
the turkeys. Teach the three-months-
Old chicks to roost if they are now
crowding together. The use of one of
the commercial growing mashes may
help you to hasten the growth of the
late-hatched chicks and build up their.
vigor.

 
Jehovah will command the blessing
upon thee in thy barns, and in all that
thou puttest thy hand unto, and he
will bless thee in the land which Je-
hovah, thy God, giveth thee—Deuter-

.INTERFERENCE AND HOW IT MAY
BE PREVENTED.

 
HERE are other things beside

static which mar the pleasure of

a radio concert or lecture Some
of them are unavoidable and others
may be done away with when the cause
is discovered and the proper remedy
applied.

Often there are noises which seem
to come and go at regular times each
day. These are usually caused by mot-
ors or other pieces of electrical ma-
chinery in a near-by shop or factory
and the hours when the interference is
bad will usually be found to coincide
with the operating hours of the manu-
facturing plant. There is seldom any-
thing that can be done to remedy such
a condition althOugh the operation of
a motor which causes interference
with the radio receiving sets is prohib-
ited by law. Usually the operator of
such a motor is ignorant of the fact
that he is causing any disturbance.

Street cars are a great source of an-
noyance in the city. In the h’eart of
a big city are so many electrical ma-
chines and appliances in operation
near by that the ether is never quiet
and clear reception isimpossible. The
neighbors’ vacuum sweeper or sewing
machine motor will often cause all
manner of uncanny and decidedly an-
noying noises. So-called Violet Ray
machines are always a source of inter-
ference. Cases have been known
where a machine of this kind has in-
terfered with a receiving set over a
mile away.

All of the aforementioned causes of
interference are unavoidable. There
are others just as numerous, however,
that can be disposed of if the source
is discovered. Chief among these is
the young lad with his home-made
transmitting- outﬁt. Nothing seems to
please him more than to sit and ham-
mer the key by the hour. The easiest
way to remedy this trouble is, to hunt
out the lad, tell him he is interfering,
and ask him'to have a little more con-
sideration. Threatening him will usu-
ally make the matter worse.

If the receiving aerial is run parallel
to high tension power lines it is usual-
lyfound that interference will result.
This kind of disturbance is a constant
low hum, which does not stop at any
hour of the day. Placing the aerial at
right angles to the power line will us-
ually do away with this trouble.

Nearby receiving sets, if they are of
the vacuum tube regenerative type, in-
terfere to quite an extent. This type
of interference is similar to that'caus—
ed by two or more high-powered
’phone stations operating at the same
time. It is a little shrill whistle, which
runs up and down the scale and makes
discords with the music of the concert.
If the interfering receiving set is locat-
ed close by, the best thing that can be
done is to arrange to take turns with
the other listeners. '

If it is your own washing machine
motor or vacuum sweeper that seems
to be causing the trouble, try placing
a large—size ﬁxed condenser across the
terminals of the machine. This can
best be done by the use of a double
socket. If this fails to help, try ground-
ing the motor through the condenser.

Outside interference can usually be
located by the use of a loop, or direc-
tion-ﬁnder aerial mounted on an auto-
mobile or other conveyance so that it
may be moved about while cOnnected
to the set. On several occasions the
Writer has found it necessary to resort

MARKETING. "

 
'(Continued from page 115).
the members each year. For a quarter

of a century ormore George W. Jack--

son, Tom Drake and J. D. Peay have
been chosen each year to act as “com-
missioners." It is interesting to know
that when lambs are sorted by this
triumvirate have been shipped to the
central markets, their grades have al-
ways been acceptetbwithout hesitation
by the packer buyers and the lambs
sold accordingly.

The Goodlettsville Lamb Club now
has forty-two members. They produce
about 4,000 lambs annually, or prac-
tically all the lambs grown in the
Goodlettsville district. The club levies
no dues. but each member is charged
seven cents per head for each lamb
'marketed through the club. This pays
the cost of market day, ‘which consists
chieﬂy of a dinner given to the buyers
and a fee of $3.00 each to the commis-
sioners. ’

A set of rules was drafted many
years ago, the mostimportant of which
reads that every member must keep a
pure-bred ram of some recognized
breed. It- isn’t enforced by expelling
the man who uses a grade buck, but by
putting most of his lambs Where they
belong——in the second grade. Mr. Jack-
son informed me that in his many
years’ experience in grading the Good-
lettsville lambs, he'had seldom seen
a bunch of lambs sired by a grade
that was good enough to go into the

No. 1 classiﬁcation, most of them usu--

ally being rejected, and therefore net
the growers much less than that re'
ceived by his neighbor WhOSe lambs
were sired by a well-selected ram of
good breeding. Thelrestult is that the
pure-bred ram rule is practically self-
enforcing, and only now and then does
a member attempt the short—lived econ-
omy of buying a grade ram.

When the club was established, the
sheep industry was hazardous on ac-
count of dogs. The club made lamb-
raising proﬁtable,‘ hence dogs waned
somewhat in popularity. That made
it possible a number of years ago to
establish a rule assessing every mem-
ber $1.00 for each canine owned. VVith-
ing a year it reduced the number of
dogs in the community more than one
hundred—~better than most dog laws.
The club is chiefly responsible for
changing Goodlettsville from a dog
community to a Sheep community, one
man there told me.

The Goodlettsville Lamb Club also
handles the wool clip of its members.

. The wool is delivered at a warehouse,
graded by the commissioners, and sold
on grade. Bids are received the same
as on lambs, and accepted or rejected
at the pleasure of the committee. This
plan has been followed since 1877. So
well established are the Goodlettsville
grades that mills a hundred miles away
bid on the wool by wire. Sometimes
the wool is stored for better prices, but
it is usually sold at the same time as
the lambs. The clip averages a little
more than ten thousand pounds an-
nually.

RAPE FOR PASTURE.

 
IN North Dakota they have found

that an ideal fall pasture can be
provided by sowing two or three
pounds of rape seed per acre in the
corn at the last cultivation. If the
corn is to be hogged off, rape will fur-
nish an ideal pasture for the fall sea-
son. It is especially valuable because
it is not injured by light frosts. In
fact, it has been found good for forage
purposes until time of severe freezing.

Says' Sam: There’s three kinds of
folks: those who think things couldn’ t
be worse, those who allow that after
all, things might be aw lot worse, and
thdse, who roll up their $383? and

creating a surplus on the market.

The members in cow-testing associa-
tions know quite deﬁnitely the differ-
ence between old Betsy at one end of
the stable and Molly at the other end.
They know whether Betsy is returning
for every bushel of corn an ample
amount of milk and butter-fat, or
whether she is a losing proposition.
.The man who milks .cows, more than
any other, should know the production
of each individual in: his herd.

Mr. Murphy says this is just a start
for better dairying in Macomb county.
Additional efforts are being put forth
through the assistance of Mr. S. J.
Brownell, of the Dairy Division, Mich-
igan Agricultural College, toward. fu-
ture organization of cow-testing asso-
ciations and bull associations. Mr.
Murphy has set himself a goal of hav-
ign at least two, and perhaps three,
cow-testing associations in his county
by September. Efforts of this kind
will result in a more efﬁcient dairy
program for Macomb and will mean
better dairy farming by her dairymen.

   
HENEVEthhere is a variation

in the butter-fat tests, the tester
is usually to blame. There are, how-
ever, a number or other things which
will cause a variation in the test. One
of them is the Babcock test itself,
which will sometimes give readings
that vary two-tenths of one per cent
on the same sample of milk tested and
duplicated at the same time.

The fat percentage will also change
when the milker fails to milk out the
strippings, the richest part of the milk.
Dogs chasing the cows, or the milker
using ‘the milk stool on his cows, or
permitting loud talking in the stable
at milking time will also cause varia-
tions in the fat test.

Cows in heat, those that hold up
part of their milk, and others that are

cost before the end of the year, underfed or slack in their water supply
will show a variation from their nor-

and it may be bought for cash 1 te t
or on such liberal terms as to ma 5' '
actually pay for itself.

WATCH YOU R SEPARATOR.

-USSELL HARWOOD, the cow-test-

er in Kent county, has been check-
ing up on the separators. One he_
found left 1.5 per cent ”butter-fat in
the skim-milk. One hundred and sixty
pounds of milk were being separated
daily through this machine. Assum-
ing 150 pounds of skim-milkvresulted
daily, then 2.25 pounds of butter—fat
was simply slipping away from the
farmer. At thirty-ﬁve cents a pound
this would mean a loss of seventy-eight
cents daily, or $23.40 per month.
It would not take many months to
pay for several years of cow-testing
association service on this basis. Also
an extremely high rate of interest was

ANOTH ER COW-TESTING ASSOCIA-
' TION. \

MR. WILLIAM MURPHY, county
agricultural agent, Macomb'coun-
ty, has long been desirous of estab-
lishing a cow-testing association in
Macomb county. Recently, through
his efforts and the assistance of A. C.‘
Baltzer, of the Dairy Extension Divis-
ion, Michigan Agricultural College,
enough members have been enrolled to
again establish the Macomb County
Cow-testing Association. Twenty-ﬁve
members are the required number to
ﬁll the necessary months’ work and
to hire the cow-tester to do the cow-
testing association work. The mem-
bership will have\a total number of
cows that will perhaps be thé largest
in the state, namely about 375 cows.
Mr. Murphy’s aim in Macomb coun-
ty has always been towards efﬁcient
productlomJn the dairy business. A
former cow—testing association was ac-
tive in weeding out about eighty—ﬁve
unproductive cows from the herds of
its members. This weeding out process"
is the distinctive feature in all the
cow-testing association work carried
on in Michigan. Thousands of cows
in the state are just giving a small
amount of milk and butter-fat, but
when totalled makes a large bulk .
which causes in many cases a depres-

APHIS (PLANT LOUSE) RUINS THE
PEA CROP.

IN sections where peas are grown

extensively as a canning crop, the
crop has been seriously injured this
year by the aphis (plant louse). The
late varieties (sweet peas) have praco
tically been ruined. Whole ﬁelds have
been cempletely destroyed.
instances the outlook early in the sea-
son was quite favorable, even up to
time of blossoming. Then all at once
myriads of these insects appeared and
in a few days the ﬁeld looked as if a
ﬁre had devastated it.

These insects are sucking insects
and cannot be poisoned, and actually
suck the sap or juice from the plant
so that they dry up, wither and all
growth ceases.

This year the early variety (Alaska
peas) were attacked to some extent.
This variety is not usually affected, at
least, has not been in the past. ,

The canners have done everything
in their power to help the far'mer save
the crop. Experiment stations have
been pressed into service and rendered
all assistance possible. But they were
not prepared to combat the enemy suc-
cessfully.

Tobacco dust or sulphate of nicotine
seems to be the only remedy. Some
sprayings or dustings seemed to be
fairly effective, and it is now claimed
that if an application of the right
strength had been applied earlierfjust
before blossoming, that the indications
are it would have been effective. This,
however, can only be determined in a
practical way another year. This year’s
crop is gene.

We are advised that‘ this condition
is not local to Michigan, over the whole
country who‘re peas are grown as a.

ﬁeld crop the same condition prevailé.

ed. Therefore, peas will be peas the
coming year. The packers will have
very few to offer. The consumer must
forego this appetizing side dish and
peas will be sky high in price.

Shoulder Soreness.—I have a. west-
ern mare that I bought last January.
She had been driven for about two
months without shoes. When I bought
her she was in a. run-down condition,
but I have fed her plenty of corn and
cats, but she does not eat enough hay.
Have worked her, also rode her some,
but she has gone lame. I locate her
trouble in shoulder. Had I better ap-
ply a. blister? She is only twelve years
old and I dislike to have her remain a
cripple. R. J. T., Six Lakes, Mich.—

is in the shoulder apply equal parts
of turpentine, aqua ammonia, raw lin-
seed oil, daily. If her hoofs are brittle
or feet tender, stand her in wet clay
for two hours or more every day.

Weakness.—-—Could you tell me what
ails our hens? They have red combs,
but are inclined to sit down, some of
them hold head high and tail feathers
hang. M. A. S., Frankfort, Mich.—
Doubtless your birds are suffering from
a. form of leg weakness which may be
caused from intestinal parasites, or
perhaps to an error in feeding, or pos-
sibly from lack of exercise. Give each
bird 3. teaspoonful of epsom salts, or
a dessertspoonful of castor 011. Three
hours before you give the physic, give
ﬁfty or sixty drops of turpentine in
some sweet milk or olive oil. Make
a. complete change of diet. The cause
of! an ailment of this kind is not al-

_ ways easily found, but you should sus-

pect their food 01' water supply, and
don’t allow the birds to eat decompos-
ed meat of' any kind.

Lice.—Again I ask you to tell me
what remedy to use to kill lice on my
chickens. I clipped from your column
an article and ﬁled it away, but now I
am unable to ﬁnd it. J. E. W., F'elch,
Mich—Go to drug store and purchase
some mercurial ointment, add one or
two parts vaseline, place a piece about
the size of a pea on end of ﬁnger, rub
it well in on ﬂesh under vent and each
wing. Night is the best time to apply
it. One ounce of mercurial ointment
thoroughly mixed in two 01111098“ 01'
vaseline on pane of glass, should be
enough to treat seventy birds.

Tuberculosis—I have a six-months-
old shoat that breathes hard, coughs
some, and'has a very poor appetite.
C. J. B., Charlotte, Mich.———Tuberculosis
affecting the throat glands and bowel
glands is perhaps what ails him. The
ﬂesh may be ﬁt for food, but the car-
cass should be inspected by someone
who is competent to judge.

Cow GivesBloody Milk—Ever since
last April my cow has given bloody
milk from one quarter of udder, worse
in cool weather; she will come f1esh
about September 1. H. M M. Rose-
bush, Mich—Dissolve quarter pound
of sugar of lead in one gallon of cold
water, apply to bruised quarter twice
daily. after milking. Rough milking
is a common cause of this ailment.

8itfast.—Have been unable to use

 
"keep it. clean.

 
one of my~horses since last spring on
account of his having hard bunch on
shoulder, which is the size of a tea
cup. This bunch is not painful, but it
is growing. H. N. W., Hesperia, Mich.
—-—A bunch of necrotic tissue such as
this cannot be dissolved by drugs, but
it can be cut out Without risk, and the
wound will soon heal.

Shy Breeders.——-I have ﬁve cows
which have failed to get with calf after
being served four or ﬁve times, and
by different sires. W. G. R., Wayne
County—After cleaning vagina with
soap and water, ﬂush' with yeast 10-
tion, made by dissolving one'cake of
fresh compressed yeast in one quart of
tepid water, let it stand for two hours
then use. It will not be necessary to
uSe the soap and water more than once
but use the yeast for several days
before breeding.

Tuberculosis.—Am anxious to know
what ails my hens. They have large
bunch on neck, break open, scab forms
but sore fails to heal. Ever since last
winter my rooster has been ailing, but
he is lame and we killed him. Now I
have three hens With it; they are grow-
ing thin. Do you believe it a disease?
C. W., Traverse ' City, Mich.—-Your
chickens suffer from tuberculosis and
are, of course, incurable. Kill and

burn all the badly diseased birds, clean

and disinfect your poultry house and

WHEAT

The long expected export buying of
wheat started last week with sales at
Chicago, New York and via the Gulf,
totaling approximately 16,000,000 bush—
els. Fear of a rail tieup probably was
a stimulating factor. The rail strike
has not affected the movement ser-
iously as primary receipts for the week
were 15,955,000 bushels which is 40
per cent above the ten—year average
for the corresponding week. In spite
of the large supply the enormous ex-
port sales checked the decline in pric-
es and turned the market slightly up-
ward. Based on present prospects for
the new crop and domestic consump-
tion in the last twelve months, the
United States and Canada together
should be able to export approximately
500,000,000 bushels this year. This
would provide about 2,000,000 bushels
daily for the next eight months which
is equal to the estimated daily import
requirements of the wheat deﬁciency
countries. After that time importers
will have access to southern hemis-
phere wheat again.

CORN

Corn prices have been maintained
but not advanced by huge sales for
export in the last two weeks. Domes-
tic consumers also have been buying
freely. The prospect of another 3,000,-
000,000 bushel crop was noticeable in
the December delivery at Chicago
which has declined about ten cents a
bushel from the high point of the sea-
son. Primary receipts last week were
approximately 5,500,000 bushels com-
pared with a ten-year average for that
week of 3,800,000 bushels. The visible
supply at terminals is close to the
largest on record for this season.

OATS

Oatsprices are low enough to have
discounted most of. the bearish condi—
tions which include the large visible
supply, the slow demand, and the start
‘y of the new crop to market. Early.
'- threshing returns -' in icate a larger

yield than expected earlier in the sea-
son and the total crop may come up to
the average of 1,250,000,000 bushels.
Canada has a big crop butlight crops
in Europe may increase the export out-
let this year. \

RYE

Besides the large rye crop in the
United States, Canada has a big yield
and the prospective export surplus
from North America promises to be
the largest on record. Prices remain
at a big discount. Germany is unable
to buy freely with marks near the zero
point in value. ‘

SEEDS

No ofﬁcial forecast of the clover seed
crop has been made as yet but the con-
dition of clover is reported at about
ten per cent better on the ten-year av-
erage and the acreage is fairly large.
The price of cash prime red clover at
Teledo holds close to $13 a bushel
while $11 is offered for seed from the
new crop to be delivered in October.

FEEDS

After a fortnight of ﬁrmness the feed
market has weakened again. Demand
for mill feeds is less urgent and ﬂour
mills are operating more extensively.
Cottonseed meal has slumped sharply
under heavy offerings of new crop
meal at a big discount. Hominy feed
is at the highest level of- the year.

HAY

Nearly all the old hay crop has been
sold, leaving an unusually light carry-
over. Receipts of new hay at markets
near the producing sections are in-
creasing and prices are slightly easier
although the rail strike has stimulated
buying. The market may sag a little.

POULTRY AND EGGS

Egg prices dropped to the lowest
level in six years last week. Weather
favors maintenance of heavy produc-
tion both here and in Canada. Re-

 
ceipts are droppingoffmrather steadily.
but remain above—the average for this
season. The increase in storage hold-
ings. at the four leading markets alone
during July has been enough to make
a total of 10,000,000 cases for the en-
tire country on August 1, or 28 per
cent higher than ever before.
present price level for fresh eggs ap-
pears to have discounted these condi-
tions, however, and an upward rather
than a downward trend is to be ex-
pected.

BUTTER

Lower prices for butter attracted ex-
tensive buying by storage operators
last week and caused a sharp upturn
in the market, but the tone remains
unsettled. Receipts have decreased
steadily for six weeks but the total is
above the average at this season and
there is a large surplus if operators
desire to store it. Domestic consump;
tion of butter shows a big increase ov-
er last year and there is a probability
of export demand with small imports
at the present level of prices. Prices
for 92-score fresh ubtter were:

WOOL

Passage of the --33 cents per pound
clean duty on wool in the senate. has
given the wool market a ﬁrmer tone.
Only small quantities are changing
hands at present as mills are fairly
well supplied and are waiting the out-
come of sales of cloth and of tariff leg-
islation. Buying from the American
Woolen Company has been leisurely
butthe output of nine of its mills has
been sold. Woolens are in better de—
mand than worsteds. Stocks of wool
in bond have increased heavily in the
last six months and are much larger
than the quantity imported in that time
as wool is being held to enter after
the permanent tariff bill has been pass-
ed. A shortage of merino wools exists
abroad and the committee which has
had the disposal of the war-time ac-
cumulations of Australia and New Zea-
land in charge has reduced its hold-
ings of cross-breds by 40 per cent.
Since werld wool consumption. Seems
to be outrunning production, a short-
age of the 16wer grades of wool is ex-

pected to develop eventually.

GRAND RAPIDS

Grand Rapids markets were fairly
glutted -with potatoes and apples th1s
week. Prices ranged from 75c@$1 a
bushel on tubers, 50@75c a. bushel on
Duchess apples, 75c@$1 a bushel on
Red Astrachans, $1@1.25 a bushel on
Early Harvests, Sweet Boughs and Yel-
low Transparents. The markets were
steady on live stock with a little better ,
demand for hogs. Grains were irreg-
ularly lower with receipts slowly gam-
ing. Oat harvest is well advanced but
few farmers are moving any of this
grain to market. The supply of early
fruits was large, peaches sagging to
$1.75@2.50 a bushel; pears to $1.50@
2 a bushel; plums $1@2 a bushel;
blackberries $2@3 case; huckleberrres
$2.50@3 a case. Farmers are begin-
ning to look to the kraut makers to
take their cabbage crop off their hands,
all the markets being oversupplled.
Tomatoes were easier with the out-
door crop well advanced and the in
door;about cleaned up. Prices 50@75c
per ”seven-pound basket. The market
was weak on poultry at 200 a pound
on fowls, 16@18c on light broilers, 22
@24c on heavy. A few ducks are be-
ing offered at 24c a pound, live weight.
Eggs were barely steady at 19@20c a.

dozen.
BEANS

Late reports indicate that the bean
crop is developing normally, especially.
in the majority of districts of Michi-
gan. The market this past week was
particularly in the , cen-
tral areas. Growers who have been
holding old beans are now letting them
go on the market and this is helping
to care for the current demand. Prices
are little changed.

DETROIT CITY MARKET '

The market for farm produce in the

Celery—The commercial celery
acreage of Kalamazoo county is 1,040
acres, a increase of ninety acres over
.1921, a Cometock. and Portage. At
these places the condition of the crop
is ninety per cent of normal, at Kala-
mazoo, eighty per cent. ,From Kala~
mazoo, express shipments in less than
c'arlots began July 5 and have been
greater to July 12 than they were last
year during the same period, with a
daily average of about 1,600 crates of
various sizes. It was expected that
Comstock’s daily express shipments
of about ‘40 crates would grow to car-
lot shipments by July 14. From Port:
age, one refrigerator car of celery has
been moving daily‘since July 5. The
entire movement from this place may
be 180 cars, or ﬁfty-one cars more than
last year. Transplantings of celery
were being made at Decatur, Van Bur—

of the plants was above normal. The
expected acreage was 343 acres, or

Cantaloupes.—The commercial cant-
aloupe acreage of Michigan is estimat-
ed at 1,055 acres, or 125 acres above
1921. Berrien county has 935 acres, a
ten per cent increase; St. Joseph coun-
ty, 120hacres, a ﬁfteen per cent in-
crease. " The condition of the crop is
ninety-ﬁve per cent of normal, and,
with favorable weather conditions, the
crop will move the last week in July
and the peak of the movement will be
reached about August 25. Hearts of
Gold are ﬁfty per cent of the crop,
Osage forty per cent, and miscellan-
eous varieties ten per cent.

Onions—«At Decatur, Van Buren
county, commercial onions cover 205
acres, a twelve per cent increase over
1921. Harvest may'begin August 20,
ten days to two weeks earlier than
last year.

WISCONSIN POTATO GROWERS
ALSO HAVE TOUR.

HE inspection of potato ﬁelds in

the counties of northern Wisconsin
will begin at Red Cedar Lake in Bar-5
ron county on August 7, and end at
Oconto city square on August 16. Field
demonstrations, conferences, address-
es and special outing programs of var-
ious kinds will characterize the tour.

 
THE SUGAR BEET CROP.

T is estimated by federal crop re-

porters that there will be 5,132,000
tons of sugar beets produced in the
United States this year for the pro-
duction of sugar. The amount pro-
duced a year ago was 7,782,000 tons.
The average for the ﬁve years from
1916 to’ 1920 inclusive, was 6,623,000
tons.

The total acreage for the country is
606,000 against 882,400 for 1921, and a
ﬁve-year average of 826,700. It would
appear, therefore, that the reduction
in acreage has been more or less uni-
form throughout the various beet-grow-
ing states.

Michigan’s acreage is placed at 106,-
400, as compared with 163,800 in 1921
and a ﬁve-year average for the above
dates of 139,800. Michigan’s acreage
is exceeded only by that of Colorado.

The 1922 contracts provide, in most
cases, for a minimum basic price of
$5.00 per ton in Colorado, Utah, Ne-
braska and Ohio, for $5.50 per ton in
Idaho and Michigan, for $6.00 in Wis-
consin, and for $7.00 in California.
These prices in most cases will be in-
creased, providing the average selling
price of sugar~is more than a speciﬁed
amount stated in the contract. The
sugar content of the beets is also made
a modifying factor in many of the
agreements with producers. Only a
comparatively few factories have con-
tracted at other rates on sliding scales
or at ﬂat rates.

FILLED ‘MILK BILL BEFORE THE
SENATE.

ON August 1 the battle between the

farmer—consumer public and the>

ﬁlled milk interests will begin anew
before the senate committee. Experts
galore are being produced by beth
sides. The data ought to be convinc-
ing. While the issue seems clear,
there is every reason for those inter-
ested in the dairy business to be con-
cerned, since such large and powerful
ﬁnancial interests are involved that
nothing will be left undone to defeat
the Voigt bill in the senate. Senators
ought to be reminded from time to
time of the attitude of farmers and
consumers toward the great dairy in-
dustry of Michigan and the country.
