CURRENT COMMENT
THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:

A lesson well learned is more valu-
able than a dollar earned.

Actions speak louder than words be
cause they accomplish more.

Your crop is only half taken care of
when it is harvested. The other half
is marketing.

It does not pay to tie yourself so
close to your farm that you can not
enjoy the beauties of the surrounding
landscape.

,Persistently pursuing an ideal, even
at snails’ pace, is better than the fre-
quent changing of ideals. This applies
to farming as well as to the other ac—
tivities of life.

STIMATES of the

Our amount of milk

, produced in Michigan

M1” for the calendar year
Production of 1921, made by the
Bureau of Dairying of

the State Department of Agriculture,
have just been published. According

to these figures, there were produced
during that year 3,103,698,090 pounds.
Reducing the estimates of the 1920
census from gallons to pounds and
comparing with the above figures, it
would appear that the production of
milk in the state increased over the
preceding year by a total of over two
hundred million pounds.

These figures seem to show that the
average production of milk per cow in
the state is increasing. If the number
of dairy. cows on the farm remained
the same during the two years of 1920
and 1921, then the average production
per cow would have increased from
3,622 pounds to 3,869 pounds. Possibly
there has been an increase in the num-
ber of dairy animalshkept during the
period. If so, the average gain as cal-
culated above, would be reduced ac-
cordingly. However, the figures have
set us thinking.

If the average production were in-
creased to four thousand pounds per
cow, then it would only require 775,925
cows to give the amount which the
department calculated was produced
last year. If this amount were raised
to five thousand pounds, then the num-
ber of cows required would be reduced
to 620, 734. Were this average pushed
up another thousand pounds to six
thousand an average which has been
attained in European countries than

volume of milk
their dairy herds are those Who have
the die and sixfithousand pound cows,
rather than those averaging loss. One
of the chief problems,” therefore, for
the man who is minis to place his
herd in the profit-making class, is to-
cull out and replace the poor produc—
ers with animals that will give a larg-
er yield. The cow-testing association
will aid in locating the unprofitable
animals while the bull association fur-
nishes 'the means of developing ani-
mals.’ which will put production on a
better. paying basis.

T seems to be a
trait of human na-

The Care-

ture that when we are
Ikessness surrounded with plan
ofPlenty ty, the prevailing

thought is, “Sufficient
unto the day thereo, ” but when “hun-
ger begins to gnaw at our Vitals,” we
have great fear of the future.

This trait has been greatly in evi-
dence during the past ten years. Dur-
ing the affluent times of the war, wash
women- donned sealskin coats and the
common laborer bought silk shirts by
the dozen. But when we entered the
valley of depression these same labor-
ers were sleeping in the city parks
with one of the remaining silk shirts
on their backs as one of their very few
possessions.

In agriculture this same trait has
been in evidence but through a longer
period. The virgin richness of Ameri-
can soil made us careless farmers, but
as the soils became sterile we came to
the same realization as the silk shirted
tramp, that we ought to have put some-
thing aside to provide fertility for a
future day. We are fast learning our
lesson in this respect, which is a
strong indication that American agri-
culture will survive.

But there is one crop with which we
are still careless, and that is timber.
This slow-maturing crop is fast becom-
ing the victim of the carelessness "‘of
plenty because the impression seems
to be that the supply is inexhaustible.

It would be well for all -of us to
learn a lesson from the squirrel, who
does not eat all the'nuts in fall, but
puts some away for the time when
winter comes. Winter comes in most
all activities of life, so for our well-
being we must be far-sighted enough
to prepare for it in times of plenty.

T was our pleasure
last week to visit

For the him home of Mr.
The Westbrook in St. Clair
Children county. This home is

substantial in struc-
ture, well planned from an architectur-
al standpoint, and contains every mod-
ern convenience. Mr. Westbrook has
a ninety-acre farm, over half of which
is devoted to the growing of alfalfa.
We asked him how it happened that
he built this modern home, and his
reply was, ' “to keep the children on the
farm.”

There appears to be much more of
this sentiment of living for the chil—
dren instead of living off them, than
there was a decade or two ago. We
confidentially ‘believe that the boys
and girls’ club work and the extension
program of the agricultural college, as
well as the general spirit of the times,
which gives support to these activities,
are largely responsible for the grow-
ing practice among farm people of tak-
ing the children into confidence and
into consideration when planning for
the future. .

In this particular case it was stated
by the owner that not onuof his six
children entertained any‘idea of, living
elsewhere than on the farm. This atti-’

the Rut. the writer was struck
’ ‘ by the evidence of
Guernsey blood in practically every
herd of dairy cattle seen between M10
and Alpena. He knew that a number
of years ago bull associations were
formed in this district of Michigan, but
he did not 'realizethat the influence of
these associations. had been so far-
reaching.

At Alpena. he learned from County

Agent Scheetz that the good work of
building up better herds of dairy cat-
tle had only begun. The men who he-
came members of bull associations and
improved the type of their dairy cows
through the use of pore-bred sires on
their scrub cows, are anxious to go on.
They are not content with developing
High-grade stock, and are now hinting
pure-bred cows. The splendid results
they have secured make them ambi-
tious to put that district of Michigan
on the map as the Guernsey center of
the state.
' All power to them. They certainly
have an excellent start and other com-
munities who are seeking this same
end will have to move rapidly to pre-
vent the laurels going to these north-
eastern counties.

The situation illustrates a. peculiar
trait of human nature: When people
are in a rut, running on low to take
the bumps a little easier, they fear to
get out lest they will slide into the
ditch. But once they have pulled from
the groove onto smoother traveling,
they throw the machine into high and
are ready and anxious for the steepest
grades.

.r

T is wrong to think
that the fair man-

Make

The F arr hibitors are the only
Pay ones whose ingenuity

and activity make a
fair valuable. The patron who slips
his coin to the ticket man at the gates
has not discharge his full duty toward
the. institution when’ he» passes the
turnstiles. '

To get what he has paid for in mon-
ey and time he needs a. clear mind——
one not befogged by lack of sleep, and
through the ravenous eating of hash,
kickshaws, pastry, and broth not of
mother’s cooking. The fair patron owes
it to himself, to the exhibitor and to
the management to be mentally alert
when he enters [the grounds.

If there are special things which he
desires to see he should plan definitely
to spend time in studying these spe-
cialties. Otherwise it is best to make
a hasty survey of all the exhibits and
then go back over the ones which in-
terests most, and examine these in de-
tail. If the memory is like those which
the majority of us carry around, it’ls

'woll to have a note book and pencil

to make records of important things
observed and to jot down addresses
which may be useful later. Ask ques-_
tions, be polite, hold fast to that which
is good, and what may otherwise be
judged a poor exhibition is likely to
return much that will be of profit to
the thoughtful ’wide-awakefair patron.

operative advertising so increased the

sand acres have been planted.

Furthermore, this great eooperative

Dog?
A DOG is the only animal what lads
at both ends of his body. Which
goes to show, there ain’t no, what you
call do‘copshun, in a dog. When he’s
happy, he‘s happy all over, and when
his face is sad, his tail is likewise. ,

Now, a dog is a great friend of man,
’cause he’ll stick to him through thick
and thin. Lots of pairs of pants is
evidences of that. But, seriously speak-
in’, maybe the reason he does it is
’cause man is what you call his ideal,
and he shows a‘ faithfulness, humility
and willingness to serve his ideal, and
such things, what
should make most
of us folks asham—
ed of ourselves.

I feel kinda sor-
ry for "’a'the dog,
’cause his ideal
ain’t w h a t h e
thinks it is, but
you know there’s
- lots of self— satis-
facshun in having your dog think you
are more than you are when nobody
thinks you are as much as you are.

You know, when Sophieis scoldin’
me for not gettin’ out and workin’ in
the hot sun, and she’s ’a—scoldin’ old
Pooch for b'rl-ngin? dirt in the house,
Pooch comes up to me with what you
call a sympathetic fellow feelin’. Then -
I pet him and says, “We’re fellow suf-
ferers, Pooch", And he looks me in
the eyes, sad-like, just like he was say
i n’ ,“I second the moshun. ” Ain’t sym-
hathy great, and who can give it to
you better’n your dog?

Some iolks call others what they
hate, a dog. But, you know, seems to
me it’s what you call a compliment,
’cause degs show qualities what is so
much better than what is shown by

  

- the fellow what calls you that name.

There ain’t nothin’ more faithful,
nothin’ more sympathetic, nothin’
more willin’ to serve you, nothin’ more
anxious to protect you, nothin’~ more
grateful, than the dog what is taggin’
at your heels. One thing about dogs:
it don’t make no differunce if they’s
aristocrats or curs,‘they don’t put on
no airs.

I think a good dog will make a bet-
ter man, if the man is only willin’ to
learn. ’Cause of this, seems like dogs

' ‘ g e F' outstanding importance among

. elemients which contribute to

, general efliciency on the , farm,
which are of such vitai importance in
the present day epoch of agricultural
development, are methods of soil man-

'agement for the fall seeded grains.
« Discussidn of the relationship between
”soil fertility and the quality and the

yield of such crops should preve both
timely and profitable.

The average acre production of
wheat in Michigan for the last decade
was 16.6 bushels, and that of rye was
14.2 bushels. Owing to a large acreage
of each of these crops and these aver-
ages, it is logical to conclude that
there are opportunities for a much
more efficient production of them with
respect to both quality and yield. In

-reality the facts are that the“ day is .

gone forever when a farmer can really
afford tcrproduce their crops’with such
low yields. It is well known that
there is a very close relationship be-
tween the quality of wheat and rye and
soil fertility. The nitrogen content of
the soil, "which depends upon the hum«
us ‘therein, governs very largely the
protein content of the grain, it being
higher when the, wheat is raised on

soils well supplied with it than when _

the crop is produced on soils deficient
in this element of plant food. Phos-
phorus is also a very important factor
in controlling the quality, an abund—
ance resulting in plumpness of grain.

It is doubtless true that the rapid
deterioration in quality of superior va-
rieties of wheat and rye when dissem-
inated over wide areas is due to soil
conditions to a large extent. There
is a shortage of nitrogen in many soils,
and phosphorus hunger is common in
many fields. .

Soils for Fall Grains.

One of the conditions that account
for the' low average wheat yield in

Michigan is the planting of the crop on
soiis that are not naturally adapted to

its production. Usually it is not satis-

factory to grow wheat on the lighter
land, such as. the sands, loamy sands,
and the lighter phases of sandy loams,
at least unless they are in ahigh state
of’ fertility. The World’s best wheat

.lands are the well drained- loams and

silt loams somewhat grayish in color.
It is much better to grow rye. rather
than wheat on the first group of soil.

this should be added by means of a
fertilizer attachment‘on the~ grain drill
at the' time of seeding. In addition
seventy-five to one hundred pounds of
nitrate of soda'should be added’early
in the spring at the time growth be-
gins. This may be spread broadcast
by hand. In some instances, owing to
a lumpy condition of the nitrate of
soda, it should be pulverized somewhat
before it is spread. The reason for
delaying this operation until spring is
that the nitrates are removed from the

a satisfactory crop, whereas rye does
very well when the soil is properly
managed.

Light Soils Respond to Fertilizers.

The light loams, sandy loams, loamy
soils and sands that do not ordinarily
produce satisfactory yields of the var-
ious crops are now responding to cer-
tain treatments in our tests that are
being conducted cooperatively with
farmers and county agents. Where
legumes, such as clovers, soy beans or
alfalfa .are not grown regularly or at
rather short intervals, fertilizers which
carry a high per cent of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid are giving splendid re—
sults where seedings do not follow.
A mixture carrying two per cent am—
monia and twelve per cent phosphoric
acid applied at the rate of 250 or more
pounds per acre is very promising and

soil by rainfall when the ground is not
frozen. If stable manure is available
the land should be top-dressed with it
in the late fall, winter, or very early
in spring and thus do away with the
spring application of the- nitrate of
soda unless the soil is in a very poor
condition.
Potash Aids in Establishing Seedings.
On our early spring seedings of clo-
ver and alfalfa on the lighter soils pot-
ash is giving good results over wide
areas in southwestern Michigan. In
several instances it has saved the seed-
ings of these crops and in addition in—
creased the growth appreciably over
the land not provided with it. Where
one is using a, mixed fertilizer it ap-
pears that about six per cent of potash
should be included in the mixture at
the time of seeding the fall grains. On

  

the other hand, if one mixes the fer-
tilizer at home, about forty per cent
of nitrate of soda, 250 pounds of acid
phosphate and fifty pounds of muriate
of potash should go on the land in the
fall and in the spring just as growth
begins 'at least sixty per cent of nitrate
of soda should be applied.
Heavy Soils Need Phosphate.

The heavy soils or the heavy sandy
loams, silt loams and clay loams should
be fertilized differently for best re-
sults. Doubtless the principal commer-
cial plant food that they need is phos-
phorus, although occasionally fields
that are badly run or depleted of their
organic matter will respond to nitrate
of soda. Where nitrate of soda was
used on twenty fields in widely sep-
arated areas in lower Michigan the in-
crease in yield of the grain did not
pay for the cost of treatment except
in a few instances.

Top—dressing with Manure Important.

Top-dressing of wheat and rye is be-
ing practiced by many of the best
farmers. The manure is usually ap—
plied during the winter as it is pro-
duced, or in the spring when ground
is frozen. A light application is gen-
erally used. In addition it is becoming
the practice on many farms to add 200
pounds of sixteen per cent acid phos-
phate to the land at the time of seed-
ing the fall grains.

Some Results From Our Over-state
Fertilizer Treatments.

On the farm of W. C. Kempster,
which is heavy sandy loam, where the
soil was unfertilizer, wheat yielded 8.6
bushels per acre, and where 200 pounds
of sixteen per cent acid phosphate was
used the yield was increased 18.7
bushels, and where 200 pounds of acid
phosphate and 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda was used the yield was 20.3 bush—
els per acre, or in other words, the
nitrogen as nitrate of soda, did not

. A Balanced Ration for Laying Flock

T fie; Essentials of Feeding tfldt Mate Hem Lay and Produce Profits

URING the past few years our
attention has been continually
called to the profits from culling
our farm' flocks. It is true that we
have too many hens which, due to in-
ferior breeding and selection, are fail—

ing to return the profits which they:

should. 0n the other hand, however,
a good many hens fall by the wayside,
due to the fact that they have not re-
ceived the proper nourishment to pro
duce eggs. The slogan, "Breed, Feed
and Weed,” in the poultry flock has
never been improved on. _The first
step in getting high egg yields is to
breed a strain of birds so constituted
that they will use their food material
tothe best advantage in the production
of, eggs and not in fat storage. This,
however, is but the preliminary step
and once having the stock. well bred
we then must devise a suitable ration.

'Too often do We find the farm flock
dependent on a ration of corn and wa-
ter. A ration of ‘this kind is far from
being conducive to high egg production
for the simple reason that the ele-
...ments for egg building are not being
supplied in the proper proportion. For
instance, 100 pOunds of corn contains
sufficient materials to produce 255
yolks and 134 whites. A ration prop—'

erly balanced would contain materials
Jor the production of equal numbers of

bites and yolks. The items “Protein

“hydrates” have” been. largely A C

point of their ability to produce albu-
men (whites) and yolks.

Let us look for a moment at the

machinery which a hen uses in the
production of eggs. A postmortem ex-
amination will reveal the following
parts:
_ 1. The Ovary: Here we find yolks
being developed and hanging in a
grape-like cluster. The yolk is the
first part of the egg to be developed.
After becoming mature it is freed from
its attachment and follows down
through the oviduct.

2. The Oviduct consists roughly, of

two parts; the first part where the
white is produced, and later the shell
is laid on by a. secretion from the walls
of the oviduct.

Thus we can see that the hen makes
the egg by New work. She is produc-
ing high-class breakfast food and put-
ting it up in sealed packages. If she
is going to produce eggs economically
she must be given the raw materials
in proper proportions. To feed a hen
nothing but corn and expect her to
produce heavily would be like giving
a mason all brick and no. mortar to
build a house. If a hen were fed a ra-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

  

 

  

  
  

  

   

   
  
  

 

 

 

tion containing only food materials for
the production of. 100 yolks and only
fifty whites she would produce only
fifty eggs. The limiting factor might
be lime for shell building but what-
ever it is, the egg produCIion will be
governed by it. Our idea is to balance
a ration to produce equal numbers of
yolks, whites and shells. ‘

In balancing a ration we must also
look to the form in which the hen re-
ceives her nourishment. The physical
condition of the feed has as much to
do with production as has the chemical
composition. The nutrients must be
easily digested and nutritious. The
hen should have the five G.’s of egg
production—Grains, Grubs, Greens,
Grit and Gumption. The. grains are-
supplied by feeding a. combination of
scratch feed and dry mash in such a
proportion to keep the body weight up
and maintain a maximum of egg pro-
duction. The amount of mash which
is being consumed is a good barometer
of egg production. As the mash con-
sumption increases egg production
takes a similar rise. Thus We attempt
to keep up the consumption of mash
by practicing the limited feeding of
scratch.

Grubs form a: very necessary part of
a hen’s ration and would be easilyob-
tained if angleworms and grasshoppers
were in abundance.
limited, however, we have to resort to

the. use of meat scra‘p, tankage, and

When Writing toAdvertisers J

 

 

Vegetable ’

'AT Vegetables for Vitamines,” is
the adve1t1s1ng slogan of the Veg-
etable Growers’ Association of
, America, and will be featured in the
advertising campaigns to be conducted
by the local associations under the
auspices of the unified advertising
campaign of the national assbciation
under the direction of Sam W. Sever-
ance, editor of the Market Growers’
Jourhal. This Was the big action tak-
en last week at the fourteenth annual
convention'of the association held at
the'CIaypool Hotel in Indianapolis,
August 22- 25.

Thé program began on Tuesday,
August 22, after the usual welcoming
formalities. The principal work of the
first day-consisted in discussion of in-
‘sect and disease problems and the ap-
pointment of committees.

On the morning of the second day
tomatoes and muskmelons were given
the most attention. J. J. Rogers, an.
Indiana canner, in opening the discus-
sion said relations between canner and
~producer were largely a matter of un-
derstanding what the interests of each
were. He said the type of tomato
wanted by the canner was a medium-
sized fruit of good rich color, solid
meat, and with a. shallow core. .

Prof. Laurenz Greene, chief in hort-
iculture at Purdue University and the
Indiana Experiment Station, told of
the work of plant selection being car-
ried on by Purdue University in-order
that the best canning variety might be
developed. He said this year the uni-
versity is raising between 1,500 and
3,000 pounds of tomato seed for the
canners of Indiana.

C. W. Wald, of Columbus, Ohio, fruit
and vegetable marketing director of
the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, fol-
lowed with a discussion of the best
type of greenhouse tomato. Bonnie
Best was the most popular greenhouse
tomato, with Globe and Ideal Forcing
ranking next.

Mr. Waid said the points most to be

AST Thursday nearly a hundred
. interested pelsons paIticipated
in the drainage tour conducted in
St. Clair county under the guidanCe of
County Agent 0. M. Kidman and
Drainage Engineer Walter VanHaits-
ma.

The tourists first gathered on the
farm of P. M. Stein on the Lapeer
avenue road west 0f Port Huron. Mod-
ern methods of building trenches and
laying tile were demonstrated on this
farm. The tourists then drove to the
home of Jake Vogt and- sons in Colum-
bus township. Striking evidence of the
value of underdrainage was here
shown.

One field which had never before
produced a crop of corn had on it an
excellent stand. The crop had grown
so well that the owner was obliged to
erect an additional silo to care for the
crop. The change had been w ought
by tile drainage. This ground ha been
so wet that it was impossible to pass

through it even during the driest sea-

sons without miring. In another field
shown the visitors there are pockets
in the clay sub—soil which, without the
drains, would not give up the excess

‘ moisture until late in the season, mak-

ing the fields cold and far less produc-

‘ tive than they have been since the tile

were installed.

Following a bountiful dinner served
in the spacious home of Mr. Xagt, a

short program was given. H. J. Vogt‘

considered in selecting a greenhouse
variety were prolificacy, uniformity of
size, and disease resistance. At this
point he introduced to the audience
Mr. Eugene Davis, of Grand Rapids,
Michigan, the originator of the Grand
Rapids Forcing variety of lettuce, the '
Davis Perfect cucumber, and the Ideal
tomato. . . .

Paul Work then toldof the varieties
of tomatoes developed at the Pennsyl-
vania College by Prof. C. E. Myers,
.illustrating the descriptions with‘ spec~
imens of each variety. The first of
these was Penn State Earliana, a plant
selection made in 1911, and whichun
the last eight years had averaged thir-
teen and three- -quarter tons per acre
It has proven superior in type, yield,
etc., to twenty-seven different strains
of Earliana tested.

The second variety shown was
Matchhm, a cross between Hummer
and Matchless made in 1909. The fruit
is earlier than either parent, red in
color and productive, yielding in seven
years an average of fifteen tons per
acre. It is highly recommended for
main crop use.

The discussion on muskmelons was
led by Prof. J. W. Lloyd, of the Uni-
versity of Illinois. .He said the best
type of Rocky Ford is known as Rocky
Ford 10-25, and has been selected for
heavy netting, with elimination of ribs
or furrows, thick flesh and in color
dark green next to the rind, turning to
salmon next tothe seed cavity. This
type gives a much better flavored mel-
on than a melon with less netting and
a lighter green color.

Mr. J. H. T-ull, commissioner of mar
kets at Memphis, Tennessee, stated
that the Memphis retail farmers’ mar- 7
ket had been in operation now for
over two years and was an unqualified
success." The big phase of the work
as carried on in that city was the type
of extension work carrying the princi-
ples of grading and marketing right

nity. C. V. Ballard, assistant state
county agent leader, pointed out the
part being played by county agents in
the forward movement of agriculture.
The writer emphasized some of the
physical changes following the intro-
duction .of tile drains in certain types
of heavy soil; while Clark L. Brody,
manager of the Michigan State Farm
Bureau, laid before those present the
recent history and the present program
of the State Farm Bureau. Judge Tap-
pan treated the settlers to a descrip-
tion of a number of local reminis-
cences.

The next lap took us to the farm of
R. A. Radike, where a study of one of
the most modern poultry houses in the
state was made. Mr. Radike is mak—
mg a. specialty of producing pure-bred
White Leghorns and selling baby
chicks. From here the tourists motor-
ed to the farm of North Westbrook,
who is producing fifty acres of alfalfa
upon his ninety-acre farm. On one
field Mr. Westbrook has already secur-
ed an average of five tons of hay per
acre, and with normal weather will
probably take of! another cutting the
last of September. Tile drainage has
been an important factor in increasing
the growth of this alfalfa. In one field
the drains could be traced easin by

RETTY generally the people of
Michigan have accustomed them-
selves to the notion that some
time in the dim and distant future
some previdential force will come
along and reestablish at a stroke all
the necessary forests and timber lands

and forever providefigainst the much-

threatened timber famine that now
faces us.
A spirit of complacent confidence in

Q the “something” that will arise to pre-

vent the inconvenience and discomfort
that must come to all when the crop
‘of timber is gone, seems to hold the
greater number of our good people in
a sort of hypnotic trance, anquntil
that trance is. effectually and thorough-
ly broken and —an actual realization of
the nearness of that famine becomes
fixed in the minds of all, there is little
to be hoped for in a remedial way.

In spite of the warnings that have
come from the trained minds of the
country during the past twenty~five
years, and in spite of the information
that has been spread in every conceiv-
able form from bulletin, lecture, ser—
mon and press, the apathy toward ac-
tive and» aggressive forestry practice
rests still like a pall of smoke upon the
greater mass of our people.

Statistics tell us the facts—but who
’ever studies statistics? Our national
leaders point out the trend of the
times—but whq ever reads the govern-
ment bulletins? Our colleges and um’-
versities are usually ready to assist
.the individual by extending to him
their advice or instruction in the form
of well-written letters so far as their
funds permit, but this has not carried
the work very far in actually extending
the intensive management of wood-
lands and continuous cropping of tim-
ber on the idle aeres of Michigan.

greater portion of the people of the
state toward the vital question of a
permanent and perpetual supply of

timber and its periodical harvest is
not to be wondered at so recently has
Michigan passed from a condition of
timber abundance and extravagance to
the present one of scarcity.
Agricultural extension (one and two-
year crop extension) is being worked
intensively along a great number of
lines. Keen men are tirelessly educat-
ing the public on every known form, of
short-term crOp. Zealous organization

 

looking entirely the opportunities and
the needs for timber culture and pro-
tection.

The forest was here first, and con-
sequently the average of the people
believe, or think they believe, that it
will last for all time. Wheat and corn
came by careful work of plant breed-
ers, soil
The forests were here when man came
and have been harvested continuously

Part of the Harvested Timber Crop

workers are constantly laboring with
clubs of boys and girls, mothers, home-
makers, canners and with all the many
forms of community effort, and every-
thing 1is being done to improve living
conditions, crops and products of the
farm—save one—the timber.

That greatest of all crops, the tini-
ber crop, which actually furnishes the
homes we live in and the numberless
comforts and necessities of life, is be-
ing allowed to become totally exhaust-
ed, while littlevor no effort is being put
forth to renew it or to make for con-
tinuous yield. Many of our leading
agriculturists are throwing their whole
souls into the problems of short crops,
and their more intensive production,
and at the same time they are over-

without replacement or scientific re-
production

Wheat and corn have yielded only
as they have received the constant and
continued care and attention of scien-
tists. Forests have yielded their all to
the unrestrained activity of saw, axe
and fire, and without the help of judi-
cious legislation throughout the years.
Generation after generation, of chil-
dren have grown old and died during
this gigantic harvest of Michigan’s
timber. So gradual has been its pass-
ing that no warning has been sounded
concerning its disappearance. So grad-
ual, also, that the pinch of want has
ever been supplied from adjacent fields
in other states.

Why does the warning of approach-

experts and entomologists._

 
 
  

ing timber famine make so little im‘
pression upon the average mind? Is
it because of a gradual process of hard-
ening of the mental attitude of the
masses of people toward all forms of
danger and calamity, or is it a certain
sense of security that is due to having
always made escape through use .of a
substitute or the opening of new
fields?

The public press is doing a vast
work at the present time in the rapid
education of people along forestry
lines, while the great force of exten-
sion as bui1t and financed by govern-
ment and state for the express purpOSe
.of carrying educational conviction di-
rectly to the people has not yet awak-
ened to its full responsibilities and op-
portunities in this direction. Just why
the extension service of the timbered
states of the Union should have “miss-
ed out” on the timber crop w01k is not
easy of explanation. But men like Pin-
chot, Capper, Snell, Titus, Lovejoy,
Knappen and many others, are now
reaching the reading and thinking pub-
lic in a way that is slowly but surely
arousing the spirit that will soon de-
mand action. The foresters have been
the men “crying in the Wilderness” for
the past twenty years and none have
heard them because of the great depth
of the timber. Now the trees are far
apart or gone entirely, and the sound
will travel farther. »

Business interests are feeling the
pinch of actual timber shortage and
are, for the first time in history, prob—
ably, taking the initiative in national
lumber conservation. Just how this
new awakening, as it may be called,
will act in Michigan is highly proble-
matical. In all probability it will soon-
er or later become a political issue.
The economic problem involved pro-
vokes the scientific interest of think-
ers. The political opportunities, as yet
undreamed of, await the astute politi- '

The Strength of the Cooperative Spirit

T fie Meeting at Co/dwm‘er Sflows Mat People are Learning How l0 Get ngetéer
By C. L. Nash

EN years ago it would have

been impossible to have gotten

out such a cosmopolitan crowd
of fifteen thousand rural, village, and
city folks as attended Branch county’s
recent combined Farm Bureau, Grange,
Gleaner, and People’s Picnic. You
might have gotten the Grangers out;
you might have gotten the Gleaners
out; you might have gotten this class
or that class out. You could not have
gotten the rural folks and city folks all
“pulling together” to make the Branch
county picnic the biggest ever, as did
the Farm Bureau, ,Grange, Gleaners,
and Goldwater merchants in putting

.:

across their big picnic on August 17.

Just where the idea originated is
hard to say; however, it has been the
aim of the Farm Bureau to promote
the community-idea, the idea that all
can work together for their common
good.” Thus it was that when men of
national reputation were scheduled to
speak at Coldwater, the Branch County
Farm Bureau made a proposition to
all farm organizations and the Cold-
water business men to get together
and make their annual picnic a big

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 

  

 

 

  
 
  
   

  

 

Southern Michigan get~together event.
Goldwater business men assumed the
responsibility of entertaining the
crowd. They put 'on the ball games,
free vaydeville acts, aeroplane stunts,
etc. The farm organizations handled
the program and the publicity.

A careful eslimate put the crowd
attending at fifteen thousand people,
and, as the local paper stated: “It
was an orderly, good natured crowd
from every standpoint.” The day op-
ened with a big parade. Mrs. Edith
Wagar, a member of the State Farm
Bureau Executive Board, remarked
that some of the floats almost talked.

.President James R. Howard, of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
who was delayed in arriving, was re-
ceived with applause. His remarks
were listened to with keen interest
because of his position as leader of
a great farm organization, but it is
safe to say that the thing that im-
pressed the audience most was 819
soundness of his statements, and the

1' personality of the man himself.

HARVESTING 'SUNFLOWER sash)

 

I have about a‘half acre of sunflow-
ers in, and they look promising. Would
like your advice on how to get the seed
off without wasting them—«C. C. W.

The sunflower seed crop is. chiefly
producedin Kansas and Western Mis-
souri. The crop is harvestedfrom the
field by cutting off the heads, when the
seeds are in the dough stage and be-
“fore they begin to drop. The heads are
toesed into a deep wagon box which is
pushed through the field, and then
spread out on the ground or on the
barn .floor to dry. ' J

When cured the heads are threshed

den, A small acreage such as yours
canbe threshed by beating the heads
with a flail or strong sticks, or by
knocking their heads together and fan-
ning out. ‘

RYE FOR Pies

 

 

Could you tell me if boiled rye will
injure four-month-old pigs, and how?
I have rye of my own but no corn, but
have been told that the rye will crip-
ple the pigs—D. A.

You do not need to be afraid to feed
.rye to four-monthsold pigs. ,/ It is a
high-class food for hogs, equal to bar-
ley and only slightly inferior to corn.
It may be fed ground or boiled, and, of
course, will give‘ best results when fed
in connection with dairy hy—products,
or other grains. Where sickness comes
from feeding rye it may be attributed
not to the rye itself, but-to ergot, a
fungus having poisonous effects, that
often grows on rye heads. Where’much
of this fungus is present it is advisable
to feed it with caution and mixed with
other grains, such as oats, barley, corn,
or wheat middlings.—P. P. P.

MARRIAGE OF cousms

 

Has the state of Michigan 3. law
prohibiting the marriage of first
cousins? Would a couple that evaded
the question of relationship and were
married and lived as man and wife for
a time be considered legally married?
What would be the penalty for the
violation? Wh t other states have
such a law ?—0. H.’

The Michigan, statute prohibits the
marriage of first cousins but does not
declare such marriages void. There
is no decision in this state as to
whether the marriage is void or not,
but in an early case the Supreme Court
said, by way of argument, that in-

policy in this state; and that dictum
might befollowed if the question were
presented. The original rule in Eng-
land was ‘that marriages within the
prohibited degrees were voidable only,
not void; but the English House of
Lords finally held these marriages to
be void absolutely, and such has been
the trend of decisions in American
states since—J. R. R.‘

 

RIOKETS in FIGS

 

I have nine grade 0. I. C. pigs be-
tween three and four months old. Un~
til about four weeks ago I fed them
plenty of skim'milk with a little corn
and oats ground together. About four
weeks ago I began adding a few ears
of corn to their ration. About three
weeks ago one of them began to act
weak in hind quarters and reel side-
wise in trying to get up. Soon others
were aflected. I consulted our local
veterinary. He said they had rickets.
I had been keeping them in a- rather

small yard with a‘good shelter. I now

have plenty of range or leguminous
forage will'secure the neCessary bone-
building material. Glover and alfalfa
provide plenty of it. But where pigs
are confined in a dry lot they should
have a mineral fixture available at all
times, consisting of such substances as
salt, wood ashes, charcoal, lime and
sulphur. ]

If I were, you I would prepare a mix— '

ture of this sort and keep it where
they can have easy access to it; keep
them on the clover with cool shade and
lots of pureviater; continue the ration
they are now getting, with the addi«
tion of a little bone meal or tankage.
If they are fat itvwould be well 'to re-
duce the corn. And I Would not expect
results too quickly. It takes time to
grow strong bones. ' If they are not too
badly affected they should be hitting
on all fours again in a month—P. P.

FARM MACHINERY RENTAL.

 

In a community of small and diversi-
fied farms it becomes necessary to
have such a large variety of farm im-
plements that no one farmer can af~
ford to buy all the tools that are need-
ed” It is therefore the custom here
for one farmer to buy a grain binder
and do the harvesting for several farm-
ers; another buys a power sprayer for
spraying potatoes, etc. The farmers
often exchange work so that the owner
can operate his own machine. This
plan works out very nicely but it is
rather difficult to set a price for the
rental of these implements—H. W.

The following list of implements
with their rental prices represents, I_
believe, a good average for the north-
ern section of the state:

Grain binder, team and man, $1.50
per acre. ,

Manure spreader, $1.00 per day.

Grain drill, twenty-five cents per
acre. '

Roller, seventy-live cents per day.

Lime and fertilizer spreader, $1.00
per day. «

Power sprayer, $5.00; team, $2.50;
man, $3.00; total, $10.50 per day.
Average team of horses, $2.50 per
day. ‘

PROPER DIVISION OF CROPS

 

If A rents his farm to B, B to furnish
seed, tools, stock and work, and to
have two—thirds. A to make repairs
and have onethird. How is the di-
vision made? There is no dispute as
to A’s having one-third of butter, eggs
and increaSe of stock, but how about
hay, oats, cornstalks and bean pods?
We do not know whether it is custom-
ary for the cats, hay, corn and fodder
to be fed undivided .‘or not. B expects
to give one-third of wheat and beans,
but says the rest must be fed undi-
vided.———W. O. G.

Usually where the rent is paid in a
share of the crop all live stock is first
fed from the undivided crops and if-
any is left that is divided two-thirds
and one—third. The renter could net
well feed all the stock ”himself and
then giveone-third of the butter, eggs,
oats, etc. This especially applies to
ordinary crops grown for live stock
food, such as hay, oats, corn, etc. But
some crops, known as cart crops, ‘in-
eluding wheat, beans, cloverseed, etc.,
are divided as marketed, one-third and
two-thirds. » ”

' These agreements should be care‘
fully thought out beforehand and stip—
ulated in writing, then there would‘be
no ohance’for a misunderstanding. ‘

. themselves with heavy obligations to
meet, decided to grow a cr9p of pota-
toes from the sale of which they hope
.to pay oi! at least a. large portion of
these debts. They rented a large field,
\planted the tubers, cared for them in
good shape, and now have an excellent

FTEN in harvesting the potato

crop one discovers that the tubers
“are growing some distance from the
plant stems. Hot weather has a ten-
dency to cause the stolons, the under-
ground stems on which the tubers are
produced, to elongate. In the south
this habit of producing potatoes away
from the stems is more pronounced
than in the north. Sandy land will
also produce longer stolons than will
heavier soil. Long‘stolons are also an
,indication that the variety of potatoes
is running out. /

INJURY FROM SPRAY‘ RIG

FTEN the owner of a. potato field
hesitates to continue spraying op-
erations because —he fears the damage
resulting to the vines from the wheels
" of the sprayer will be as great or
greater, than the benefits to be derived
from applying the spray mixture.

On the farm of A. B. Large, of Bel-
laire, we observed a device which over-
came this trouble. Across the tongue
of the spray rig was bolted a two-by-
four which extended two or three inch«
es beyOnd the wheels on either side.
To each end of this piece he attached
three old rake teeth. One of these ran
just ahead of the wheel, while the oth-
er two Were fastened to run a few
inches in the rear of the first, and an
inch or two away from the sides of the
wheel. - The forward tooth pulls the
vines to one side, while the other two
prevents them falling back underneath
the wheel. Mr. Large states that this
device is working perfectly. There are
no patents.

 

COMPLETE FERTILIZER. MAKES
BEST SHOWING

I N lookingover the work being con:
-ducted at the Experimental Farms
at Mancelona, Michigan, it was, evident
that the plots where complete fertilizer
had been applied were producing much
better crops than were” the checks
where potash or phosphoric acid'were
added alone. This statement must be
considered in connection with the kind
of soil where tests Were made. The land
which had been turned over to the
State Experiment Station by the Man-
r colona Advancement Club, was light
soil which had been quite completely,

Memphis. The purpose of the market,
according to Mr. Tullfwos to supply a
market place for everything which was
grown .around Memphis. The bulk of
those patronizing this market are

' American farmers or the diversified

farmers of the state. The Italian gard-
eners immediately around the city still
use the wholesale markets and keep
the peddlers and groceries supplied
with their products.

Mr. G. V. Branch, director of Detroit
Municipal Markets, reported that some
.three thousand producers sell through
the farmers’ markets in that city.
Farmers’ markets, according, to Mr.
Branch, are the only practicable way
of handling the great bulk of. miscel-
laneous produce that comes on a large
city market. He said that some day
some better method might be devised
but he did not know of it now. Detroit
has several market houses built in the
form of a. cross,aone of which is equip‘~
In the last three
years the number of» loads marketed
increased from 65,000 the first year to
96,000. last year. This year will show
a still further increase. This increase
was due to better facilities provided,
which helpcd'bpth farmer and con-
sumer. Of the produce brought into
Detroit by the farmers, seventy-five
per cent goes to the retailer, fifteen
per cent direct to the consumer, and
ten per cent to the wholesaler. A daily
market news service ’is very helpful in
sustaining fair prices and the local
press assists in keeping the house-
wives posted as to what the market
supply is.

Harold W. Samson, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, told
of the work of the department ines-
»tablishlng standard grades for different
vegetables and the efforts of the de-
partment to have standard packages
adopted through passage of the Vestal
bill. Examples of good and bad mar-
keting were illustrated with large ph0«
tographs.

Mr. Gilbert, of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics, told of the devel-
opment of the radio news service of
the department from the time the first

their wives, for the fine entertainment
provided for the visitors. .

\The final business session was held
Friday morning at which officers were
elected and resolutions passed.

The following officers were elected:
President, H. F. Tompson, Arlington,

that a good dose‘of salts will often

Most farmers realize these things to

have been preaching them all through

preached. We are compelled to think,
however, from the actions of some

lot of us are mighty awkward with
that pertion of our anatomy which lies
above our ears. It needs training, en-

We have always harped a great deal
about education, and have often been.
misunderstood by those who interpret
education as mere book learning. We
use the term in'a broader sense, as a
training calculated to bring out and
develop the best that is within us. Not
as an ornament to-parade before peo-
ple on special occasions, but as an

plicable always to the work in hand.
In this sense itis the need of the hour.
Without it we are unable to land
squarely on the heads of 'these “Brass
Tacks.” Industry needs intelligent di-
rection in ord‘ér that the most may be
accomplished. with the least etio'rt.

is simply the application of, efficiency

EATING AND DRINKING IN SICK-"

NESS.

 

HE rules of a few generations ago
in regard to what a sick person
might eat or drink have given place
to regulations that are much more sim-
ple and more in accordance with com-
mon sense. It was forbidden, for ex-

ample, to give a fever patient a ‘sufli- ,

cient amount of water to drink.

I remember that as late as the be-
ginning of my own practice I was con-
stantly running into people who plung
to that, cruel, foolish regulation. Now-
adays, I think, it is understood by ev-
eryone that there aré very few ail-
ments in which the plentiful adminis-
tration of cool, fresh water is not only
permissible, but'very desirable. The
doctor with a fever patient today, in-
structs the nurse to see that water is

,, offered to the patient at regular inter-
vals, not allowing it to be a matter of
chance.

I have just had a letter asking if it
is dangerous to eat ice cream when
one has a cold. I suppose the idea of,
the writer is that the frozen dish might
aggravate the cold, and I believe that
such an idea has been more or less
prevalent. There is no more founda-
tion for it than for the old superstition
about the danger in drinking water.
By the time the ice cream has reached
the stomach its temperature is mate—
rially increased and the cold effect is
very transient. On the other hand, ice
cream is a very helpful food and one

so acceptable that it often tempts the ,
appetite of a sick child or adult when ‘

ordinary forms of nourishment are pos-
itively repellant. It is a food that may
be used to advantage in many very
serious diseases when more substan—
tial articles of diet might possibly
prove injurious. Nowadays it is a
stand-by in typhoid fever and is used
to very good advantage both in diph~
theria and scarlet fever. Foods having

REPAIRING DEFORMITIES.

 

Please tell me whether there is
much chance of doing anything to fix
up a deformity of the nose which has
existed ever since early childhood, the
result of an accident. I am now past
twenty.——~D. B. '

It is not worth while to expect the
family doctor, who does not get a case
of the kind in ten years, to get good
results in repairing old deformities;
but in every large city there may be
found surgeons who make a specialty
of plastic or cosmetic surgery. They
can do marvels in the way of building
up new features, repairing old scars,
and so forth. Ask your home doctor
to give you the address of such a
surgeon.

B“; YIN PLAN

The dairyman’ 3 biggest expense is his winter feed bill.’ By organizing
a co~opemt1ve buying service at this time of the year and finding out what
quantities of feed farmers will need this winter, feedstuffs‘ can be bought
ahead at favorable prices. Accordingly, we are announcing a /

Co-operative Feed Buying Service .
Whereby dairymen may contract now through their local sci-operative
associations their winter supply of dairy rations for delivery in equal month-
ly shipments during the Winter at summer feed prices. The Feed Buying
Service 13 on the perfect, 24% protein, open- -formula, dairy ration. . '

. Michigan Farm Bureau Milkmaker
Which Iis approved by the Michigan Agricultural College Dairy De-
partment. lIt 13 one of the best rations for Michigan Dairy herds. MICHI-
GAN FARM BUREAU MILKMAKER 1s a ration made up entirely from
the milk producers’ viewpoint—to get the most milk for the least invest-
ment in feed and keep the cow in the best of condition. 1 -

Feed Buying Service will carry on the regular analysis tag the EXACT .
number of pounds of each ingredient in the feed! This is important because /

it enables you to check up on the price. Here is EXACTLY what you are

What Has Happened So Far:

After the death of Thornton Fair-
child, an aged miner of Cripplecreek
_district, Robert Fairchild, his, son.
reads a letter. From this he learns
of the Blue Poppy mine coming into
his possession, but nothing of the mys-
tery and silence that surrounded his
father’s days. He interviews his at-
torney and leaves immediately for the
west to claim the property. Upon ar-
riving he cannot help but feel the
mystery and illusiveness of the situa-
tion. Even Mother Howard, his
father’s old friend, seems to hold
.something back. Squint Rodaine and
gang work against Fairchild. A strange
friendship grows between Anita Rich-
mond, whose father is in the clutches
of Squint Rodaine, and Fairchild.
Morrice Rodaine is in love with Anita
Richmond. Harry Hawkins, an old
friend of Fairchild's father, arrives to
aid in the prospecting. By an ex-
traordinary plan Harry manages to
.get the mine unwatered. At an old-
fashioned dance Fairchild meets Anita
Richmond again and they have sev—
eral dances together, much to the an-
noyance of young Rodaine. A real
hold-up is staged and one injured.
Young Rodaine swears the guilty par-
ty to be Harry Hawkins.

“Oh, I know. Mr. Fairchild shouldn’t
have come in here. He shouldn’t have
done it. I’m sorry—~please go.”

Down the steps they went, the older
man with his hand still on his son’s
arm; while, white-faced, Fairchild
awaited Anita, who had suddenly sped
past him into the sick room, then was
wearily returning.

“Can I help you?" he asked at last.

“Yes," came her rather cold answer,
only to be followed bya quickly whis-
pered “Forgive me." And then the
tones became louder-so that they
could be heard at the bottom of the
stairs: “You can help me greatly——
simply by going and not creating any
more of a disturbance.”

(‘But__!’

“Please go,” came the direct an-
swer. “And please do not vent Your
spite on Mr. Rodaine and his son.
I’m sure that they will act like gen-
tlemen if you will. You shouldn’t
have rushed in here." ~

“I heard you scraeming, Miss .Rich-
mond.”

“I know,” came her answer, as
10in as ever. Then the door down—
stairs closed and the sound of steps
came on the veranda. She leaned close
to him. “I had to say that," came her
whispered words. “Please don’t try
to understand anything I_ do in the
future. Just go—please!”

And Fairchild obeyed.

CHAPTER XI.
Mr. Farrell Does His Best.

HE Rodaines were on the sidewalk
when Fairchild came forth from

the RiChmond home, and true to his
instructions from the frightened girl,
he brushed pflst them swiftly and went
on down the street, not turning at the
muttered invectives which came from
the crooked lips of the older man, not
seeming even' to notice their presence
as he hurried on toward Mother How-
ard’s boarding house. Whether Fate
had played with him or against him,
he did not know—nor could he sum-

the old boarding ,, house, he again
sought to think, but in vain. He could
only lie awake and stare into the dark-
ness about him; while through his
mind ran a muddled conglomeration of
foreboding, waking dreams, revamps of
the happenings of the last three weeks,
memories which brought him nothing
save sleeplessness and the knowledge

that, so far, he fought a losingvaght.

After hours, daylight began to streak

L

men the brain power to think. Hap<
penings had come 'too thickly in the
last few hours for him to differentiate
calmly; everything depended upon
what course the Rodaines might care
to pursue. If theirs was to be a cam-
paign of destruction, without a care
whom it might involve, Fairchild could
see easily that he too might soon be
juggled into occupying the cell with
Harry in the county jail. Wearily he
turned the corner to the main street
and made his plodding way along it,
his shoulders drooping, his brain fag-'
ged from the flaring heat of anger and
the strain that the events of the night
had put upon it. In his creaky bed in

the sky. Fairchild, dull, worn by ex--

citement and fatigue, strove to rise,
then laid-his head on the pillow for
just a moment of rest. And with that
perversity which extreme weariness so
often exerts, his eyes closed, andhe
slept——to wake at last with the realiza-
tion that it was late morning, and that
some one was pounding on the door.
Fairchild raised his head.

"Is that you, Mother Howard? I’m
getting up,- right away." -"

A slight chuckle answered him.,

“But this isn't Mother Howard. May
I see you a moment?” -

“Who is it?” _

“No one you knows—yet. I’ve come

“Yes." Fairchild was may aliVe now

fore hlm. ’ The door opened, and a

young man, alert, almost cocky in man—

ner, with black snappy eyes showing
entered

behind horn-rimmed glasses,
and reached for the sole chairthat the
room contained. . , r

"My name's Farrell," he announced.
‘fRandolph R Farrell. And to make a
long story short, I’m your lawyer.”

“My lawyer?” Fairchild stared? f‘I
haven’t' any‘ laWyer in Ohadi. The

"That doesn’t alter the fact. I’m your
lawyer, and I’m at your service. And
I don't mind telling you that it’s just
’abont my first case. Otherwise, i don't
guess I'd‘ have gotta: it.” ‘ '

"Why not?" The frankness had
driven other queries from Fairchild’s
mind. Farrell, the attorney, grinned
cheerily.

“Because I understand it concerns
the Rodeines. Nobody but a fool out
of“ college cares to buck up agaisnt
them. *‘Besides, nearly everybodyrhas

“Wa—wait a minute!” The breezi-
ness of the man had brought Fairchild
to more Wakefulness and to a certain
amount of cheer. “Who hire you?"
Then with sudden inspiration:
or Howard didn‘t go and do this 1'”

“Mother Howard? You mean the
woman who runs the boarding house?
Not at all.”>

((But—ll

“I'm not exactly at liberty to state."

SuspiCion began to assert itself. The
smile of comradeship that the other
man’s manner instilled faded suddenly.

“Under those conditionsfl don’t be-
lieve—” - ‘ .

“Don’t say it! Don’t get started
along those lines. I know what you're
thinking. Knew that was what would
happen from the start. And against
the wishes of the person who hired me
for this work, I—well, I brought the
evidence. I might as well show it now

lose a,lot of time doing it.' Here, take
a glimpse and then throw it away, tear
it up, swallow it, or do anything you
want to’with it, just so nobody else
sees it. Ready? Look.”

He drew forth a small visiting oar-d.
Fairchild glanced. Then he looked—'—

Fairchild could not restrain a laugh.
There was something about the man,
about his nervous, yet boyish way of
speaking, about his enthusiasm, that
wiped out suspicion and invited con-
fidence. The owner of the Blue Peppy
mine leaned forward.

“But you didn’t finish your sentence

The results of the: judging contest,
as given in these columns last week,
showed Iron county as the winner in
the poultry‘and general livestock con-
tests. Menominee and SchoolCraft

folks did special work along the lines
of the projects in which they were
enrolled. For instance, the livestock
members had special training in judg-
ing cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry,
while potato club members got work
in judging potatoes, spraying and cul-
tural methods. The girls enrolled in
canning and sewing work got new
hints for improvement along their re-
spective lines.

After the day’s workvwas done the
rest‘ of the day, the greater part of
the afternoon, was spent in recreation
which was mainly in the form of base-
ball and other competitive games.

The evening programs Were special-

ly attractive as the crowd gathered,

around big bonfires to tell stories and
listen to interesting talks. Ofter cer-
tain county teams did special stunts
and club members, proficient along
certain lines, entertained the crowd.
One whole evenin was given to mov;
ing pictures, whic were shown on a.
screen out in the open.

At the Friday dinner the boys and
girls were honored by having Pres.
David Friday and Dean R. S. Shaw,
both of M. A. C., as guests. These
gentlemen “earned” their dinner by
giving the young folks short talks.
Some of the young folks expressed the
thought that the mental feast result-
ing from these talks was the best of
the two and all agreed that the talks
more han amply paid for the meals.

Miss Ruth Cresswell had charge of
the girls camp, while R. A. Turner,
State Club Leader and A. G. Kettunen,
U. P. Club Leader, made the boys be-
have.

On the fifth day, the day of the

were tied for second on the poultry

contest, and in the livestock Judging, .

Luce second and Baraga third.
Grant Gallup was the fortunate boy
in the poultry judging work, winning

‘a‘ pen of poultry, awarded by the ex—

periment station, for his good work.
Francis Pellitler got the highest score
in the livestock work and” won the ex-
periment station pig. Andrew Waite
won the sheep oflered by the experi-
ment station.

In the dairy judging contest, School.
craft got first with Iron second and
Gogebic third. Harry Monroe won the
experiment station calf by making the
highest individual score.

The canning demonstration team of

- Iron county got first place with Luce

and Menominee following; The School-
craft county potato demonstratorsgot
the top of the list in the potato con-
test with Houghton second and Me-
nominee, third.‘

This annual camp has become the
great event in the life of the Upper
Peninsula club boy ,and girl. It is cer-
tain to grow with leaps and bounds
as it‘ is based on the right principle of
furnishing recreation and education at
the same time. .

How I Would Invest. $5.00

Letters of Prize-Winner: flnnounced Lari, W eat

I would give my father $1. 50 for a

$1.50 for a bushel of potatoes, twenty-
five cents each for tomatoes and cab-
bage, and sell the sets at fifteen cents
a dozen, also transplant some myself.

After buying these, there would‘v‘be
a little left over so. I could buy them

much better how to tell "about their
sweat experiences than the boys.
They were also more anxious to tell
their experiences than the boys, as the
letters from the girls greatly outnum-
bered those from the boys.

As I expected, the greatest number
of experiences were related of having
a hot time haying or' mowing it away.
Many girls helped out in this work in
cases of. emergency, especially when
» there was a great rush to get the crop
under cover before the approaching
storm. ~

This sort of work is all right for
young folks ill they are used to. it, but
_ they, especially girls, should be careful
about doing such hard work without
first being hardened to it. Doing un-
accustomed hard work may result in
' injury which will be noticeable

throughout life. .

VERY now and then some old food
E standby steps forth with new pos-

sibilities. This time it is the hum-
ble squash. To some it may appeal only
as an occasional variation fromhthe
regular menu of vegetables, to others
it may be the promised dish of the
season, and some may even be aston-
ished when told what they are eating.
There are so many ways it may be.
disguised and yet make a tempting
and appetizing dish.

If you are unusually fond of this
iron bearing vegetable, it may even
be canned and will make a tempting
and colorful dish for the winter table.
After a quick scrub of the brush, re-
move the ends and core and cut the
remainder into pieces of a size to fit
the jars. Pack closely into sterilized
jars and fill with salted water about
the same as you would cook it in.
Process for one hour.

There are many epicurean dishes to
be made from summer squash. Stuffed
squash will be proclaimed good by a
great many. With a stiff vegetable
brush scrub the squash well and cut a
slice from the top, as for a, jack 0’
lantern. Remove all seeds and fibers.

Variable Summer Squash
Quiteflze T fling at Lari ’ L ' . ~ , ,

Fill with a dressing 'made of one pint
of bread crumbs well seasoned with
salt, pepper, butter, 9. large onion chop-
ped fine, and two well-beaten eggs. Re-
place top and bake for two hours, bast-
ing with bacon 'or pork drippings.

'A cup of squash added to the bread
dough as it is being separated to make
buns oi; raised biscuit will make them
a pretty golden color with a delicious
flavor. They will also keep moist
much longer.

Try some squash cakes. To. one cup
of squash sifted, add three cups of
flour, or enough to mix thick with a.
spoon. Add one teaspoon of vinegar,
one tablespoon of butter, salt, one egg,
one cup of milk, two teaspoons of bak-
ing powder. Bake in gem pans in a
quick oven, or drop from spoon on pan
and bake as drop cakes.

Scalloped squash is also good. Pre:
pare and cook as for mashed squash.
Put into a baking dish and cover with
cream sauce, sprinkle cracker or bread
crumbs over the top, and bake. A few
pieces of green peppers, tomatoes or
a little minced parsley adds variety to
the dish, which makes a welcome
change on the fall menu.

 

 

Drying Peaches for Winter

Made Quick and Bay by t/zz': Met/20d

EACHES are usually dried unpeel-
P ed, although a superior variety is

made by removing the skins. Se-
lect peaches for drying which are ripe
but not soft. Wash, cut in half, remove
stone and place in trays with the pit
side up.

Many housewives use a lye solution
for removing the skins. Dissolve two
pounds of commercial concentrated
lye in ten gallons of water. When
boiling hot, place the peaches, in a.
wire or wooden basket and plunge into
the solution for one to two minutes,
moving the basket up and down to
hasten contact with the lye.

Lift from lye when fine cracks or
checks in the peel appear. Plunge im-
mediately into cold water and move
about to wash off the lye. Remove the
skins by rubbing between the hands
or with a brush. Wash to remoVe the
adhering lye. Halve, take out pits and
place on the drier, cavity side up.

If peaches are dried in the sun, cov-
er with muslin or mosquito netting to
protect from insects the same as with
other kinds of fruit. In an artificially
heated drier the temperature at the
beginning of drying should not be more
than 120 degrees F. This may be grad-
ually increased to 160 degrees. When
the pieces are pliable and leathery and
no moisture can be pressed out of the
freshly cut surface, the product is suf-
ficiently dry. Transfer fromxthe drier
to large, clean wooden or pasteboard
boxes and cover with muslin which
will admit the air and exclude insects.
Place the box in a warm room in a
rather dark spot. Stir daily until the
fruit is in a uniform condition, after
which pack it in permanent containers
and store in a dry, airy place.

Apricots and nectarines are treated

‘1 u in precisely the same way.

The drier shown on this page may

i“ be made from sheet metal, either at
;_ home“ or by a tinsmith.’ It becomes in-

dispensible when one is doing a large
amount of drying and is simple and
easily made—United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

 

MARGERY GOES TO SEE AUNT
BETTY.

 

HEN Margery came home from
Aunt Betty’s, she had—"many new
ideas, for they do things so much dif-
ferent out in the country. Some of

 

them you can do in town, too, Margery
found out. So she told her mother,

“I’ll tell you how Aunt Betty tells how

eggs are done, withOut breaking the
shell. Just take a spoon and liftvone
out of the boiling. water, and if itis
boiled hard, the water will run all off
and the egg will be perfectly dry. If
it don’t dry off right awray quick, you
must put it back. That is, of ecurse,
if‘you want it to be boiled hard.”

“And bread,” said Margery, “when’ >

you want to know if that is dune, you
pull out the pan and touch it on the
bottom with your wet finger and if it

goes ‘spip spip' like a flat iron does

when it is real hot, then your bread
is done.

“But pie is different. You take that
out of the oven and give it a little
quick shake and if the pie slips around
on the tin, and don’t stick to the bot-
tom of the pan, it’s done. But you

know a custard or pumpkin-hie is dit-‘

ferent, ’cause if you shook that any

it would muss it up._ You just stick -

the end of a knife into the middle of:
that, and if the milk don’t stick to the
blade of the knife, that pie is done too.
“And there _§ baked chicken. When
Wu want to try that, you just take a
long slim" fork and“ push it way in,
and! if you can twist it around and
ardund, it’s most done.
“But the dreadfullest test of all was
the way Aunt Betty does when she
makes itaffy- candy. My; I wouldn’t
daSt to do that One.
takesa soup of cold Water and Wets her
finger real wet, and then sticks it
quicke‘r’n a wink, right into the boil-
ing hot candy, and if it is done enough
there is a little candy thimble on her
finger, and then she hits it on the edge
of the cup and if it tinkles like glass,
it’s all ready to puH.—Irene Kendrick.

 

 

Household Service.

Kindly advise me the best and most
sure way of getting bed bugs out of
bed. We have "a room that seems, to
be peppered since we have been here.
~Subscriber.

Would advise the liberal use of ker-
osene to exterminate bed bugs.
a small oil can with it and squirt it
into all cracks and crevices in the
walls, around the windows and in the
bed and bedding. This will evaporate
after a time and the bedding may then
be washed to remove all odor of the
kerosene. This remedy must be re-
peated several times, as it only kills
the full grown bugs and not the ones
that are hatching. Oil of cedar is also

. good to use in this way.

Another very satisfactory method to
rid the home of bed bugs is, the use
of sulphur. First seal the cracks
around the windows and doors with
strips of paper, so that the bugs and
fumes may not escape when the battle
begins. If these strips of paper are

covered with molasses as a paste, they.

will stick well and are more easily re-

 

 

      
      
      
      
     
   
   
     
     
   
      
  
        
     
      
 
      
  
    
   
     
     
     
     
       
     
   
  
  
  
  
 

  
  
   
  
  
 
 

; in' sthon‘g contrast to th
, it.

‘moved with soap and water than any

other paste. Remove all articles of sil-
ver from the room, as the sulphur
fumes‘will tarnish them. Place about
a pound of sulphur in a pan and set

FilL- this in a larger pan of water or soil to

avoid fire. Pour a little “alcohol on
sulphur and a wick which leads into
it.— Leave the room closed for four
hours. You will then find many. dead
bugs where they have come from their
hiding places. These should be taken
care of immediately, and the opera-
tion repeated twice, about a week
apart to obtain good results. Patience
and perseverance must be exercised iii
the posts are to be entirely extermi-
nated. g ,_ ‘

 

Please tell me the proper tempera-
ture to heat milk to kill tubercular
germs. We have been told that no
person above the age of ten years has
taken tuberculosis from milk.\ Is this
true?—-Mrs. 0. N. H.

It has been found that very careful

pasteurization is necessary to kill the
tuberculosis bacillus in milk. Ordi-
nary pasteurization will not do it. ,If,
milk is heated to a temperature of 160
degrees, and this temperature main-
tained for ten minutes and then cooled
rapidly, the bacillus will be efficiently

. destroyed.

You seem to have been misinfor ed
regarding persons above ten years ‘ofg
age contracting tuberculosis. If milk
contains tuberculosis bacillus in stifli-
cient number, the disease may be con-

' tract-ed by any person drinking it.

Nature’ has provided the human
body with a means of fighting~ disease
germs, and unless the food entering

the body contains a larger number 01-,

disease germs, the body is not affected.
Thorough testing of milk that it may
be free frOm all disease germsqis the
safest practice.

IGHTEEN years ago William C.
Cornwell, of Saginaw,bought ten
thousand acres of wilderness——
stump and brush land; in Clare county,
with the idea of clearing some of the
acres foricattle razing. It was a big
idea, the transf rming of waste plains
and slepes into fertile, green pastures,
and a big job, too, but he tackled it
from the viewpoint of- successful busi-
neSs and applied practical methods to
the operations. - .
About sixty acres of wild land were

are 1, 200 “acres under cultivation. At
various times Mr. Cornwell solo parts
. of the uncleared land, but he still owns
4,300 acres. Stumps and stones are
removed and tile drain laid as the

crew clears the land. The other sec-
tions have been cleared of underbrush
and seeded for pasturage. On a. most
attractive spot he has built an attrac-
tive lodge for his summer home. There
are also eighteen workmen’s houses,
large barns of modern construction,
silos and other equipment for success-
ful farming on a large scale. The
ranch has two public schools for the
seventy-five children of farm workers;
and the community has its own volun~
teer fire department.

Every part of the ranch is provided.
with running spring water, which is
distributed to the houses and barns
through two and a half milbs of under-
ground pipes. A windmill at a height
of eighty-seven feet, , and a triplex‘
electric pump keep a large reservoir
filled with pure, sparkling water. With-
in the borders of the Cornwell ranch
are seven miles of the north branch of
the Tobacco river, other tributaries,
three small lakes and one large lake,
all fed. by springs.

Cattle Raising the Prime Object.
There are as many cattle, sheep and
hogs on .the ranch in summer as there
are acres, namely, 4,300. Seventy-five
registered Holsteins in the dairy de;
partment are producing about 4,000

shipped to a Saginaw creamery and
the skim-milk is fed to hogs. The
dairy barn is of modern construction
and one of the best equipped in the
state. ,Cork brick was imported from
Spain for the stables, and theexterior

pounds of milk daily. The cream is ,

the cows have given one hundred

pounds of milk a day, or about 3,000

pounds a. month.

The Ranch Work .is Thoroughly sys—
tematized.

The Cornwell ”ranch is conducted on
thorough business methods, the whole
property being operated by three de-
partments, each separate in itself in
accounting. The departments are:
Dairying, farming and live stock, each
of which keéps a separate set of books
and is expected to be self- sustaining
General. expenses, such as insurance
and taxes, are apportioned among the
departments; and the departments buy
and sell to each other exactly as
though each were unaffiliated organi-
zations. By this system a. higher effi-
ciency in operation is attained, and
leaks are readily discovered and stop-
ped before serious loss occurs.

Feeding an Important Business.

In summer an average of 1,000 beef
cattle, 3,000 sheep and £00 hogs can
be Seen at the ranch, while about half
the number of each are fed during the
winter. Many steers are sold in'the
fall to feeders in Southern Michigan
and Northern Indiana. and Ohio. Other.
shipments are made direct to Chicago
and Buffalo stock markets.

The largest barn. for the beef cattle
is 225 feet long, and two silos have a
capacity of 700 tons. One year's sup-
‘ply of food and bedding for the cattle,
sheep and hogs includes 1,000 tons of
hay, 700 tons of ensilage, 500 tons of.
straw and ten carioads cf shelled corn.

The farm department produced this

clover, and 2 ,000 bushels of wheat, as

 
 

which supplies fresh running spring ’__

' Greens play an important role in a

amount of available lime and should
be supplemented by lime in some more
available form.

"rho remaining “G." standing for
“Gumption,” whatever that may mean,
conveys to our minds the idea of being
up and at it. This may refer to the
poultryrnan as well as ther'birds. Hens
to keep in good condition must have
exercise. This can be most readily
supplied by feeding the scratch in a
deep litter. A clean, dry, well-lighted
and well-ventilated coop adds materi-
ally to the putting of “Gumption” into
theflock.

From the foregoing paragraphs we
see the importance of giving the “birds
a ration showing a variety of food nu-
trients. We must then look into the
available food materials
from them those which give both the
proper physical properties,‘ but also
will balance up equal numbers of yolks,
whites and shells. For purposes of
easy calculation the following table
has been devised and instead of giving
the analysis of the food materials in
terms of carbohydrates and proteins,
it expresses them in terms of yolks
and whites. This is calculated from
the~assumption that one pound of pro-
tein will produce sixteen and two-third
whites, and one pound of carbo-
hydrates will make three and one-third
yolks.

From a study of the above table it

3 is not difficult to arrive at a definite

conclusion regarding the feeding value
'There are, how-
ever, other factors to consider. Take,

J. for example, barley and buckwheat,
' whigh appear to contain a reasonable

ampunt of food valno but are not good

= , , . (Continued from page 251).
7 skim-milk to supply‘ this element in our

and select‘

, _ use of alfalfa hay, which with proper ,
concentrates, was used in bringing out

o

birds and consequently we would not
select it for a mash constituent. The
green foods appear low in food value
but cannot be omitted, due to the lax.
ative effect and their qualities as a
conditioner. The dairy by-products
appear low in food value but, however,
have a large quantity of water present.
The food value here is high, due to the
readily available form in which the
protein is found. '

No mention is made here of shell-
forming materials. Oyster shell or
ground lime rock should be before the
birds at all times.

To balance the ration from the above
table we attempt to select the most
desirable materials from the stand
point of their physical qualities as a
food and their market quotations.

The ration which will be used in the
Michigan International Laying Contest
will be as follows:

Scratch.
Yolks. Whites.
100 lbs. Corn ...... 255 134
100 lbs. Wheat .. . 243 182
Mash.
Yolks. Whites.
20 lbs Oats ....... 39 31
20 lbs. Bran . . . . . . 31 41
20 lbs. Middlings .. 41 44
20 lbs. Cornmeal .. 40 27
20 lbs Beef Scrap.. 21 221
‘ 680 680

This is a simple ration which bal-
ances and gives equally goad results
in actual feeding practice. The mash
is bulky enough to avoid any consti-
pating effects, but does not contain an
excess of fiber. 'The meat scrap is
added to comply with conditions where
dairy products are not being used. If
milk is available the proportion of'
meat scrap could be reduced according
to the amount of milk fed,

The most common shortcoming in
the feeding of a farm flock is to en-;
tirely omit the mash. As we have said
before, the mash consumption is an
excellent criterion of egg production
and we invariably find where the birds
are being fed on ‘whole grains alone
that the egg production is lower. An-
other common practice is to let the
hens rustle from their own feed during
summer. It is true that hens will pick
up a great deal but this haphazard

method will never give maximum re-
turns. In summer we like to reduce
the amount of scratch feed and induce
the hens to consume more mash. The
season gives a longer feeding day and
the birds require less solid foods with
which to keep up the body tempera-
ture. They do require, however, the
more easily digested constituents of
the mash and the protein, or white-
building material which it contains.

' FALL DIPPING OF “SHEEP.

 

HILE spring dipping of sheep is

very important to give the flock,
including the young lambs, a clean bill,
the fall dipping is still more~important
and should never be omitted.’

\ If sheep raisers realized the benefits
and satisfaction from dipping their
sheep, no compulsory law would be
needed to make them enthusiastic and
persistent in the practice of dipping.

~The benefits are two-fold: First, all
vermin and skin troubles can be large-

ly cured or prevented, which has a.
marked effect in improving the health,
and feeding gains of the flock; and
second, the quality of the wool is im-
proved with its growth stimulated.

Shearing tests have demonstrated that
will give from a

well~dipped sheep

Arlie, Four-yeanold

pound to a pound and a. half more wool
per fleece than if hot dipped.

Care should be taken to follow the
directions which come with the dipin
its preparation, and means taken to
8136 that the whole sheep, with the ex-
ception of eyes and nostrils, gets a
good application. There is really only
one way to dip, and that is by submer-
sion in a tank sufflCiently deep to cov-
er the animal standing on its feet.

While for a small flock, as an emer-
gency measure, ,a molasses hogshead
with a foot out on? one end may be
used, the proper and economical vessel
is a vat built about eight inches wide
at the bottom, three and a. half feet
deep and flaring to twenty inches wide
with one end projecting to make an
incline up which the sheep may walk
after submersion.

A draining platform with tight bot-
tom, which will hold two or three
sheep, should be so arranged that
when the sheep is assisted out upon it
the drip from its wool will run from
the platform back into the tank. The
dip should be made with warm water
and allowed to c001 to one hundred

degrees F., before being used. after

which it willlcool rapidly.

Any time after September 1 is a
good time to? dip. , A breezy, bright day.
is naturally best, but if, for any reason,
dipping is delayed, further delay wait-
ing for just the right day is inadvis-
able. Particularly when poison dips
are used,'the sheep should be kept off

ground, affording any. pasture .until'

their fleeces have. ceased dripping,
three ,orfour; hours at-least being re-
(mired—7E. W. G. ‘ - ‘

a dairy cow or horse we know just how

much to feed each individual animal,
but with hogs it is quite different.
Some hogs are more ravenous than
others and get more than their propor-
tionate share of the ration, thereby
over-feeding and causing a derange-
ment of the digestive system;

green pasture are less likely to be dis-
turbed from feeding new corn, than
hogs closely Confined. However, it is
advisable in feeding new cern to fat-
tening hogs to gradually accustom
them to the change of feed.

My practice is to begin feeding new
corn as a part ration along with other
dry grains and slope. I find this meth-
od keeps the digestive system in good
working- order. A little green corn
along with the regular ration in the
fall supplies additional succulency and
gradually works the hogs onto [a full
corn ration as the crop becomes ma-
tured for fattening. purposes.

It has been our experienée in fatten-
ing hogs during the fall‘and early win-
ter months, that better results follow
the use of a portion of ground dry feed
along with the corn ration. We always
begin feeding new corn as early in the
fall as the crop is ready, but by exec
cisirig. precaution we have never en-
countered any serious trouble—Leo C.

Grease Heel.-—What can I do for a
horse that has grease heel? L M.,
St. Clair, Mich—«Give horse half ounce

apply one part lysol and fifty parts
water twice daily. Chronic grease heel
is usually incurable, the skin can not

Pimples—Bald Patches.—My nine-,
year-old horse first broke out in pimp-
les, some pus came out, a scab formed
which later dropped off; now the skin
has bald patches. I also have a cow
with bunch on upper part of teat. J.
H. R., Parma, Mich—Apply vaseline to
bald places daily and the hair may
grow. Apply iodine ointment to bunch

infected Udder.—-My cows have been
in pasture all summer; fed some corn
and eats, but some of them have gar-

for it, but they have failed. The ud-
ders cake and swell, some of the milk
is stringy. W. J. M., Berville, Mich.—
Apply one part fluid extract of phyto-
lacca and six parts vaseline to caked
parts every day or two; also give a ta-
blespoonful of fluid extract of phyto-
lacca in feed twice a day. Hand-rub
udder twice a day.

Rheumatism.——I have a six-year—old
cow that seems to be healthy, but when
walking, she must suffer pain for she
holds head low. Lately she has failed
in milk yield and seems to be sore all
over. E. R. C., Morenci, Mich—Give ,
her one dram of sodium salicylate at
a dose in feed three times a day.

Symptoms of Pregnancy.——Is there
any way of telling whether a cow is
with calf, which has been served five
months ago? D. G. E., Hudsonville,
Mich—If a cow remains three or four
weeks after service without showing
signs of heat (bulling), she is probably
pregnant. The bull, no matter how
vigorous or how ardent his sexual in-
stinct, can not be made to pay any at-
tention to a cow which is not in heat;
hence indications of pregnancy can be
had from both the male and female
side. When she has conceived, the
cow usually becomes more docile and
lays on flesh the first four months. Af-
ter the fifth -month the movements of
the calf may often be-observed in the
right flank, nearly in front of the stifle,
when the cow is drinking cold water.

the flank is by touch with the palm of
hand.

Cow lJeaks Milk.—I have a big Hol-
stein cow (too good to beef) which
leaks milk. A. L.,-Midland, Mich.—
Milk her three times a day, or dry end
of teats and apply flexible collodium,
or use clean teat plugs.

Purging and its Effect—My cow

of milk. Then she began to scour and
dropped more than half of milk yield.
She is better, but the milk does not
return. What can be done for her?
Mrs. J. W. B., Kings Mill, Mich—Feed-
ing her plenty of easily digested nutri-
tious food is the best he can do.

Swine Eat Chickens—Both young
and old of my hogs have contracted
the habit of chicken eating. Can it be
prevented? P. J. D., Ida, Mich—Sep-
arate the hogs and chickens is the only
remedy. Liberal feeding of tankage
has a tendency to prevent hogs from
eating birds.

Unthrifty Pigs.—-—I have twenty Red
Duroc pigs two months old that thriv-
weeks. They are not lousy, have no
pot-bellied and inclined to root..I treat-
ed them for worms. Their appetite is
good, are fed milk and middlings, and
some corn. J. H. K., ‘Gladwin, Mich.—

carbonate of soda, salt, powdered wood

each feed. One-third of la teaspoonful
is a dose for each pig. Change their

WHEAT

Receipts of wheat at primary mar-
kets increased last week after a de~
cline of several weeks' duration. The
increase was primarily at spring wheat
markets, the movement to which will
rise to flood tide around the end of
September. Although the tariff pre-
vents Canadian wheat from coming in-
to the United States, except in small
dribbles, our own markets are feeling
the pressure of Canadian wheat mar—
ketings through competition for the ex-
port trade. The statistical position of
wheat has been weakened recently.
Unofficial estimates upon the crop in
the United States are about 7,000,000
bushels more than a month ago and
private surveys in Canada suggest that
a yield in that country around 15 per
cent higher than the last official figure
Euro-
peans are displaying no anxiety over
future supplies. Presumably they are
drawing heavily upon home-grown
gain and will make up by increased
purchases of foreign wheat later in
the season. In spite of the absence of
aggressive buying of North American
wheat, clearances have practically dou-
bled in the last five or six weeks.

' CORN

Dry hot weather which has contin-
ued. throughout August in some of the
important corn-growing sections caus-
ed a loss in the crop prospect of a
little less than 200,000 bushels accord-
comprehensive unofficial re-
ports. The total yield on the basis of
the present promise is about seven per
cent less than last year’s harvest. Con-
sidering the size of the crop, the ex-
port demand, the rate of domestic dis-
tribution, the decline in farm stocks of
oldflcorn and the visible supply, the

"coin market is in a stronger‘position

than any of the other coarse grains.

Receipts of corn at primary markets
', were heavy again last week, but were
agsorbedu without a material decline, in
.p 09-27, " . . ,. . .~

  

',‘ _ , ”(-

  

OATS

Movement of oats from farms to pri-
mary markets in, the last fog weeks
was the smallest for the con-es onding
season since 1911. The decline is not
explainable on the grounds of a small
crop as the yield is considerably larger
than last year, although below the av-
erage of recent years. Presumably the
extremely low price is a factor. Be-
cause of light receipts and the strength

in the corn market, oats pricesphave

been comparatively stable in the last
week or two and no decline of conse-
quence is probable.

FEEDS .

With flour mills storing wheat feeds
instead of- forcing them upon the mar-
ket, prices show more strength, than
a week ago, although the upturn has
been small. ”Dry weather in the south-
west is providing a good market in
that section at the present time. Corn
feeds show little change recently, but
both cottonseed and linseed meal seem
to be feeling the effect of the new flax
and cotton crop movement.

HAY

The hay market is a stereotyped af— -

fair with a fair demand for best grades
and very limited demand for the low
grades, even at big discounts.

POULTRY AND secs

Although a moderate upward trend
in the egg market was expected during
the late summer months, the advance
of nearly forty per cent in values in
the last few weeks was distinctly sur-
prising. Receipts have fallen off sharp-
ly and daily withdrawals from cold
storage at the four leading markets are
averaging about 25,000 cases. Poultry
prices have changed but little recently
but the demand does not look broad
enough to absorb the heavy autumn
run without a further decline.

Quotations are as follows: Chicago,
eggs, miscellaneous, 25@260; fresh
firsts 26%@271,§c; ordinary firsts 23@
24c. Live poultry, hens 19@24c pound;
springers 24%0; roosters 14%c; ducks
19@21c; geese 20c; turkeys 250.

Detroit, eggs, fresh candled and
graded 26%@28c;v storage 24@25c per
dozen. Live poultry, heavy springers
27@28c; light springers 26@27c; broil-
ers 22@23c; heavy hens 23@25c; light
hens 18@19c; roosters 15c; geese 13c;
ducks 18@200; turkeys 25c.

BUTTER

Dry hot weather in some of the prin-.
cipal butter-producing sections has re-
duced the market supply materially in
the last two weeks and prices have
shown a pronounced upward trend.
Fancy butter particularly has been
scarce. A small amount has- been with—
drawn from cold storage, although this

movement is net ofmuch consequence

as yet. The statistical position of the
butter market is fairly strong since the
total supply in storage is not extreme-
ly heavy and consumptive demand is
considerably above the average. Prices
are about 15 per cent higher than at
the low time of the season a. few
weeks ago. Prices for 92-score cream-
ery butter were: Chicago 370; New
York 38%c. In Detroit fresh creamery

in tubs sells for 33@33%0- : . "

POTATOES;

Potato prices declined again last
week. Total carlot shipments in the-
United States are running much above
the average for the corresponding sea-

son. The movement in the week end.

ing August 26 was 4,128 cars ‘as com-V

'pared'with 3,911 cars last year, 2,837

cars two years ago and 3,662 cars
three years ago. New Jersey is the
principal shipper at present, although
the northern states are . showing a.
steady increase. Sacked ’cobblers are
quoted at $1.35@1.85 per 100 pounds
in consuming markets. Early Ohios are
bringing $1.10@1.65. « "

APPLES

Extremely low prices have checked
the movement of apples and markets
have been more firm recently. Jona-
thans, Wealthies and Oldenburgs are
quoted at $2.50@3.50 per barrel in the
leading consuming markets.

BEANS ,
All kinds of domestic beans are re-
ported dull and weak. Receipts have
been running very light but the de-

mand has been so poor that stocks
have accumulated in first hands. Lack .

of consumption seems to be the cause
of the market condition. All kinds of
beans are in about the same condition
so special comment is not necessary.

WOOL

After Labor Day, more activity is
expected in the wool market as some
of the mills which have been operating
on part time are expected to resume
on a full time basis. Demand for wool
has been somewhat irregular recently,
but prices were firm last week, even
on fine staple, which weakened tem-
porarily under competition from for-
eign wools. The new clip in Australia
will be ready for market in a few
weeks, the first auction sale being
scheduled at -Adelaide September 22.
Wool consumption during may, accord-
ing to the Department of Commerce,
was 43,602,000 pounds, compared with
36,048,000 pounds in, April and 41,442,-
000 pounds in May, 1921. Wool has

been moving from exporting to import- .

ing countries at unusual. speed in the
last eight months. .The available rec-
ords show an increase of over 100 per
cent above the same. period a year ago.

The distributing markets for cheese
opened steady: last week as, the result
of) strength at country points abut-to .
ward? the close of the week sales ,deo
clined to sm’all volume and an uneasy -
unsettled tone was in evidence. Only
twins were quoted lower, however.
There is no special ' surplus of cheese
on the market, but dealers are anxious
to effect a. clean-up. A few who twms
and daisies were sold at Chicago last
week at 20%@2lc. Eastern markets '
have been steady to firm recently with *
demand principally for New York state
cheeseL Philadelphia reports very
light stocks on hand. With the butter
and egg market strong and receipts of
cheese falling off, the trend of . the
inertial; is apt to poleward a higher
eve ~ .

”DETROIT, cmr MARKET

The market was rather lightly sup-
plied, with the demand for melons,’
plums, peaches, cucumbers and toma-
toes in greatest demand. There‘is also
a good demand for elder-berries. Ap-
ples range from 400@$1.50, pending on
quality and variety; cucumbers 40c@
$150; dill cucumbers $2@4.50 per bu;
cabbage 50@75c per bu; carrots 15@
25c per dozen bunches; elderberries ,

_ GRAND RAPIDS

Fruit prices averaged slightly lower
on the Grand Rapids markets _ this
week. Plums were so cheap that many
growers of Lombards stopped picking,
preferring to let them rot on the trees
rather than continue to lose money at
selling them for 2,5@40c per bushel.

_ Other growers who stopped picking let

consumers come in and pick their own
plums for 25c per buhsel. Peaches
also were easier with supplies liberal.
The market early this week ranged
from $1@1.50 per bushel. Canning op-
erations commenced this Week: The
principal varieties offered this week
were New Prolifics, Elbertas and the
first pickings of J. H. .Hales. Pears
were steady with a good demand for
Bartletts. The Grand Rapids Grow-
ers’ Association encountered some diffi-
culty finding enough Bartletts 'to fill
a car order. Apples were weak, most-
‘ly at 500 a bushel for the best. Can-
taloupes were in fair demand at 500@
$1.50 a bushel. Potatoes were weak at
60@700 a bushel, mostly 60c. Many
of the farmers are digging their late
potatoes now and rushing them on the
market, fearing weaker markets later
in the season. A good canning nie-
mend has had a tendency to. strength-
en tomatoes which were selling at 35@
50c a-ebushel. Onions were slow at 60
@75c a. bushel. The crop islarge. Cei-
ery was barely steady but head lettuce
was steady to firm at 80@90c a box.

PRIME STEERS REACH $11.25.

 

Frequent predictions on the market
page of higher prices on prime beeves
have been verified right along. Values '
reached a new top of $11.25 at Chicago
last week.

There is a scarcity of finished steers
but receipts of other grades are abund-
ant enough to make the total supply
above the average for the correspond-
ing period Of the year.

Although total supply figures do not
suggest scarcity, the western range
movement is running considerably be-
hind that of. last year. Present arriv—
als from that section show desirable
finish and are increasing the competi—
tion which. short-feds muSt encounter..

Dressed trade is holding up well on
the better grades of beef, but the out-
lets for the product of common and
mediumt'steers will be filled to cape;
city most: of the time in the “next

the matter of our next timber crop.
The land is bare and idle. Millions of
