Michigan Under the Act of March 3.1879 VOLUME CLVIX NUMBER FOURTEEN DETROIT,SEPTEMBER 30, 1922 CURRENT COMMENT THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS: Love yourself through your neighbor. The wide-awake stockman’s rotation is to weed, to feed and to breed. Scrub the scrubs from your herds, or these scrubs will scrub you. And nobody gets a single cent of the hundred million dollars lost from the pockets of producers and shippers each year throughvthe spoilage of per- ishable foods in transportation. That every action has its reaction is shown by the fact that a farmer can- not even thresh his favorite hog without the reaction of a fifteen per cent reduction in the value of the ani- mal’s carcass. HE long session of congress is just Congress terminating as this , and the comment is written. Farmer While there is a rath- er general expression on the part of editorial writers of the more or less popular sentiment that the act of adjournment is the best act of the session, this is certainly not the case from an agricultural standpoint. There is no doubt that the interests of’agriculture have been given more serious consideration during the ses- sion just closed than has ever before been the case within the memory of the present generation. In the tariff bill as finally passed, agriculture has been treated more fair- ly than in previous tariff laws. Last minute attempts to protect special in- dustries, some of them at the expense of the farmers of the country, failed completely and by a vote so decisive as to leave no doubt that in clear-cut contests in congress where special in- terests are pitted against the agricul- tural interests of the country, the farm- ers are at last pretty sure to have the votes to win. One of the last notable acts in the session was the passage‘of the Capper- Tincher bill to control trading in grain futures, which was reenacted in a form to make it effective under the ruling of the supreme court as a result of litigation growing out of the law as formerly passed: Many other laws of great importance to agriculture have been passed during the session just closed, one of the inost important of . Which legalized collective bargaining 1111 the sale of farm products. These V1 -_Jheneficial acts will be summarized and _ Michigan “Farmer. ' hopeful, originally involved the naming and. oh- This new and helpful, as well as recognition of the basic in- dustry of agriculturein the national legislative halls is largely if not' env tir ly due to Organization and organ- d effort. Farmers’. organizations have devoted more attention than ever before to national legislation affecting their membership and have had repre- sentatives in Washington continuously' looking after these matters. But per- haps the most potent influence in favor of agriculture during the past session has been the so—called Farm Bloc, a non-partisan group of senators and rep-z resentatives from important agricultun‘ a1 states, of which Senator Capper, of Kansas, is chairman, who cooperated in the advancement of a definite legisla- tive program in the interest of the peo- ple of the country in general as well as of agriculture in particular. We shall also undertake to give our read- ers a review of the progress made in the accomplishment of this program in the near future. . OR two days last week, we watched Gardens e x p e r t 5 work out from Waste problems in connec- Places tion with the reclama~ tion of waste areas on the farm of A. 0. Dunk, in Livingston county, a detailed report of which will be given in a. later issue. These ex- perts used explosives largely to ac- complish their objects. For ages the rains have washed the finest fertility from the hillsides into these low places where it was impos- sible to grow crops because of a sur- plus of water. The purpose of this demonstration work was to show how this great storehouse of fertility might be recovered for agriculutral purposes. Successfully completed, the program will convert what has been “eyesores” on the farm into ideal garden spots. What has been waste places will, with proper handling, become the most productive areas of the farm. Here is untold wealth of plant food waiting for the development of proper conditions when it can be converted into products useful to man. It is even so with men. Not infre- quently it requires a crisis in a. man’s life, a real explosion, if you please, to awaken in him some of his finest tal- ents. Others are able to bring these talents into use without such spectacu- lar incidents. The object to be attain- ed, however, is the big matter and it should be the ambition of every person as it ought also to be of every farmer, to convert talents that perhaps have been laid away on a Shelf into active forces for accomplishment of worth- while tasks as well as to change the waste places of the farm into gardens. \ HIS paper will reach the reader Observe not late r than the Memory morning of September Day 30. This day has come to be very generally observed as “Memory Day” in this state, due very largely to the efforts of Mr. J. T. Daniels, of Clinton coun- ty, ex-president of.-the Michigan State Association of ‘ Farmers’ Clubs. through Mr. Daniel’s untiring efforts the movement to establish Memory Day was endorsed, by the State Asso- ciation of Farmers' Clubs and the State Grange, and later by action of the state legislature. Through his eiforts also, new material has been provided each year for use in Memory Day pro- grams ,wherever the day is publicly observed. This ‘year’s contribution is a poem written by C. R. Cook, of Oak- land county, which appears on page ten of this issue.

Net only has the Observance of with the passing years, but as a more or lessnirect result of the movement a marked public interest has been de- veloped in the care of rural cemeteries through the leadership of public spir- ited citizens in many rural communi- ties in this state where associations have been formed for the proper and constant care of the cemeteries in those communities. But Memory Day means more than this and its observance should go be- yond. these physical manifestations. Well. may we all pay fitting tribute of mind and soul on this day to the dear friends who have gone before. This act of observance of the day will make us better citizens of the great country and more helpful members of the little communities inwhich we live. Let us all observe Memory Day. F one knows where The he is at 1n 9. bus- , . ness way these days Bus’ness he is more fortunate Outlook than the average in— , dividual. The follow- ing data gathered from reliable sources and through various channels may throw some light upon the situation and give the farmer reader some an- gles upon the present trend of general affairs. Production and trade activities are generally being carried on in larger volume than a year ago. In agriculture ten of the eighteen agriéultural prod- ucts for this year show a gain over the five-year period from 1916 to 1920. With the settlement of the coal and the railroad. strikes, the way now seems clear for an expansion of indus- trial operations. Loadings of freight cars the first week of September were twelve per cent larger than for the same week in 1921. Building in practi- cally all large cities is booming, while bank clearings outside of America’s metropolis are holding even. In the United States, the credit situ- ation is favorable to a general expan- sion of business. Compared with a. year ago, interest rates are down. The discounting resources of the federal re- serve system are ample, as shown by the fact that the present ratio of cap- ital to loans is 78.3 as compared to a legal requirement of from thirty-five to forty per cent. Domestic credit facil- ities are strengthened by a decline in the exports and an increase in the im- ports of gold, although this situation __ is weakening the possibility of trade with foreign countries ‘which is in a real bad way. _, As compared with a year ago, twelve out of twenty-four farm products ‘of the country show advances in price, while the remaining twelve show de- clines. The general price level of over four hundred items has gone up thir: ‘teen points as Compared with a year ago, while farm commodities show a general advance of eight points ac- cording to computations made by the United States Department of Labor. As compared with 1913, the general price level in August Was fifty-five per cent higher, and agricultural commod- ities thirty-one per cent higher at cen. tral markets. Prices to producers of farm products are probably less than twenty per cent above the range for 1913. While this collection of information may be more or less confusing, there. appears to be good reason forconduct- ing the farming business along normal The farmer. who does this is .. failures of human nature, found as; their work an 0113 the; young _, Girls Werk folks, of the rural sec- tbe day itself become more general \ tions b 1111 g 3 much quicker and better results than among‘ adults. In fact. the findings are that one dollar expended for boys’ andgirls? werk will bring as great results as three dollars used in adult extension activities. Eyen after you have convinced ma- ture people, they can only use the new ideas for an average of twenty years, whereas .the boy or girl ‘with a new idea has from forty to fifty years to use it. Thus the boys’ and girls’ not only gives the extension worker the easiest field in which to get results, but at the same time his endeavors are producing the greatest and most last- ing good. Not only is it easy and economical to teach young people, but the immedi- ate results of their instruction is prof- itable from a strictly dollars and cents standpoint. For instance, in 1921 the boy and girl club members produced seven million dollars worth of prod- ucts, the total cost of which, including the cost of teaching, was only four and one-half million dollars. These things almost make we older folks envy the absdrbtive ability of the young mind, but there is a satisfaction in knowing that, although we advance in years, we can keep our minds young and open if we will but try, for think- ing is a matter of habit and is there- fore capable of direction. Oug/zto Knot O Oughto or Oughto Knot, that is the question,” is what Jim Clark says his friend Shakesbeer would say. Now I think Jim’s educashun ain’t no good, ’cause I know his friend Shakes- beer’s dictshunary didn’t have the word Oughto, so, it not bein’ there, he couldn’t consider anything he didn’t know anything about. I’m strong for the Oughto side of the question, ’cause the Oughto is a willin’ steed what is always throbbin’ to go, throbbin’ so much you kin.just feel it throb. It takes van to Hither and Yon’ an d be ck again most of the time. I got back and I ain’t got in- to no auto compli- cashuns, ’cept to bend somebody’s fenders an’ knock a few cuss words outa‘ them. There was other times when we was in tem- porary critical situashuns, but, you know, nearly being killed and not get- tin’ hurt is a excitin’ pleasure. I also like the Oughto because it helps you to peruse the landscape. The landscape is a “glitterin’ generality" what is open to the enjoyment of all. Sam Johnson and Ed Simpson kin keep you off 3. their farms,- but they can’t keep you from enjoyin’ the landscape what their farms help make. Now, per- ‘usin’ landscape is a good thing when, personal matters get ponderous, ’cause it shows that your endeavors is just a mere detail in the big plan.

The quantity of’poultry reaching the ‘ =leading markets registers roughly the "changes in production in the country. combined receipts of dressed poultry Eat the five markets, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago land San Fran- cisco in the first thirty-six weeks of each of the past four years have been as follows: 1922—128,128,180 pounds. 1921-.-—104,756,008 pounds. 1920—100, 857, 447 pounds. 1919—116, 839, 065 pounds. Compared with 1921, receipts in 1922 show an increase of 22.3 per cent, while they exceed 1920 by 27.4 per cent and in 1919 by 9.7 per cent. Here- tofore, 1919 was the banner year in poultry production. The supply of eggs reaching the leading markets tell a similar story of an increase in the number of hens on duty. Combined receipts of case eggs at the same five markets in the first thirty-six weeks of 1922 and compari- sons with preceding years' are shown below: ' 1922—13,804,553 cases. 1921—12,693,069 cases. 1920—11,230,122 cases. 1919—116,839,0 56 pounds. Has Increased Production Gone Far Enough? Low prices for feeds and good pric- es for poultry and eggs most of the time in the last twoyears, together with unsatisfactory returns on most other farm products have stimulated the poultry man—and woman—to work overtime increasing their output. But “cashing in” time on the poultry is now at hand.‘ How will the market ab- sorb the increase which is expected to manifest itself much more prominently this fall than it has yet done? Poultry producers well may ponder how near production has come to the maximum which will permit mainte- nance of profitable prices. The events of the next few months will' furnish a fairly good basis for the answer. Deal- ers have freely predicted that they will buy roasters on the Chicago market this fall at fourteen cents a pound on at least some of the days ’of big re- ceipts. :Dealers Advise Early Marketing. Anticipating an enormous run of poultry this fall, the dealers are advo- cating the sale of well-finished spring chickens early in the-season—in Sep- tember—instead of from the middle of November to the middle of January. They argue that even though greater weight is obtained by holding until lat- er in the season, the price is apt to be lower and‘ when feed, labor and risk of loss by disease. thieves or “var- mints” are considered, the advantages are on the side of selling early. By a more uniform_ distribution of sales through the year it, is reasonable to believe. that "the avearge price level would be higher. that 7, spring roosters are counted as “stags” after December 515 and are sold' at a discount, should be considered. Poultry price records are not entire- :fly satisfactory fer checking this sug- tion since the average character. of ATa substantial increase in. Especially ‘ the fact, ‘ pests. fie Experiences of Past Year: Suggest tfle Med tflzr Year for Spreading tfie Marketing Over a Longer Season Hustle the Culled Birds to Market as Soon as Fitted. “broiler” in June is a “fryer” a couple of months later and a “roaster” by Oc- tober. But-even with these angles con- sidered, prices in the last five or six years have shown a fairly well defined downward trend from midsummer to late fall or early winter. The decline has varied from three to as much as fifteen cents a pound. All in all, it looks advisable to avoid glutting the market in the late fall and winter as far as possible. Also the practice of flooding the consuming centers at Thanksgiving and Christmas time with light, unfinished poultry is questionable. Usually, however, at those holidays the supply of well-fin- ished ,birds is not equal to the demand. Yearly Cycle in Poultry Market. The accompanying chart shows very graphically the annual cycle in the poultry market and also brings out what has taken place in the way of in- creased production. Receipts since March, 1922, held con- sistently above the average of the three preceding years, tumbling below the average for a short time around the end of August. Cold storage stocks at the beginning of 1922 were considerably above the threeyear average, but so great was the demand that they were cut down to less than the three-year average early in March and remained below un- til in the latter part of May. Since May the increase in consumption has not kept pace with the increase in pro- duction. This prevented storage hold- ings from declining as rapidly as they usually do. Receipts of poultry in thr, past have fluctuated sharply with the season. A sharp decline is shown during January and a gradual one in February and March, while the supply is fairly uni- form during the summer. It increases gradually after August and sharply at- Interested to Me Last Man HEN you see men crowded to— gether as in the above picture, . you are perfectly safe in betting the coat upon your back that some- thing is going on in which they are completelylabsorbed.

At every‘ one of the fifty or more farms at which we stopped, the farmers were equally asflinterested as you see them here. It is practically impossible to stop men who are as anxious to learn as these men show themselves to be. They will overcome every obstacle in their eflort to dis- cover the best and most economical methods of growing potatoes, and once possessed with the information they are of the type of men who will nee it.. I have the greateiit faith in the future ‘ + or the potato business of Michigan. ter the middl of November. Heavy shipments to catch the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade have been the rule, receipts in those weeks being from three to eight times as large as in the low summer period. During the late fall and winter much more poultry is marketed than the pub- lic is ready to consume immediately and large amounts are accumulated in a frozen state in cold storage. Such accumulations usually begin in Sep- tember and are most rapid in Novem- ber, December and January, but by the end of January the tide turns the other way, consumptive demand then requir- ing all of the fresh receipts and some of the storage product in addition. Cold storage operators always expect to buy cheap enough in the storing season to be able to sell out later on at a profit. They have lost money in the last two or three years and are apt to be quite cautious this year. SWEDISH FARMERS STRONG FOR AUTOS. T a recent farmers’ festival in Sweden, all but one farmer attend- ed the event in motor cars, according to the report of the United States Consul. Only a few years ago the ox- cart was the only means of transporta- tion, but now peasants and small vil- lage inhabitants have changed their at- titude from one of disfavor to that of enthusiasm. With the coming of auto— mobiles, good roads are also gaining in favor, and it is not difficult to get appropriations for that purpose. GERMANY SPOILS ENGLISH POTA- TO MARKETS. ERMANY and Holland are demor- alizing the-English potato market by dumping large quantities of their cheaper grown products on the English distributing centers. A short time ago the British farmers were getting from Ten to Fifteen Pounds per ton for their potatoes, but now they are a drug on the market at prices as low as Two Pounds per ton. During the war Germany encouraged the raising of potatoes in quantities as a reserve for food and also for the dis- tillation of alcohol. Now the surplus is being marketed on the British mar- kets which are the only one which will admit it without a heavy duty. This is causing the British farmer despair, and in many cases he is refusing to harvest his crop and bring it to market. MILK CONSUMPTION ON THE IN- CREASE. N increase of one teaspoonful of milk per person in the United States would bring consumption to a point over production, according to M. ‘D. Munn, of National Dairy Council. Educational campaigns have done much to increase the use of milk. The dairy production in 1921 increased eleven per cent; but this increase is offset by the increase in consumption of milk as a food. These educational campaigns on the use of milk will continue to be carried on by boards of health, medical asso- ciations, school boards, mothers’ 'asso. ciations and welfare. organizations throughout the country. Milk is now in common use, especially in the city schools, to bring underweight children ‘- ’ up to the average weight. Only a tenth of America’ s {farmland is now artificially drained ' LATE AG 1 MILK AND ALFALFA CAMPAIGN; ENT county is to put on a milk and alfalfa campaign to last two. weeks, starting October 23. The purpose of this campaign is’to urge the farmers to take greater interest in the two great farm profit producers, alfalfa and dairying. , Kent county has the second largest raw milk market in the state. But has only ’one cow-testing association and grows no more alfalfa than many coun- ties in which dairying is not a great factor. County Agent Keats K. Vining, believes that the farmers of his cbun— ty should awaken to the possibilities of the good market they have. close at hand, and should take a greater inter- est in alfalfa and dairying. During this campaign, Professor Cox, crop specialist, will head one team and Pro- fessor Reed, M. A. C.’s dairy specialist, will head the other. These two teams will hold meetings in cow stables and barnyards at the rate of sixteen a day for the two weeks. By this campaign the college men hope to double the acreage of alfalfa and to increase the cow-testing associations to three. M. A. C. VINEGAR YEAST. HAMPAG-NE vinegar yeast from the bacteriology department of M. A. C. has enabled a vinegar maker in Pennsylvania to displace the French sources of supply at several of the leading hotels of Philadelphia. D. Buckley, of Woodrow Farm,’ Broad Axe, Pa., is the man who made the vinegar, and he has just ordered an additional amount of yeast. “It may interest you to know,” his letter runs, “that with the aid of this yeast, and by combining honey, apple and grape vinegar in about equal parts, I have been able to supply the demand of the Ritz, the Bellevue and the Lor- raine hotels and several of the best clubs of Philadelphia, where imported Tarragon vinegar was formerly used exclusively. Many thanks courtesy and ‘un bon mot’ for the lady bacteriologist that answered some inane queries for me two years ago." Because M. A. C. is the only institu- tion in the United States putting out this variety of. vinegar yeast—Sac- charomyces ellipsoideus—requests are received from as far west as Idaho, Montana and British Columbia, as far east as Massachusetts and New Jer- sey, and as far south as Florida and New Mexico. During the twelve months preceding the last report of the department, 456 orders for vinegar yeast were filled in fifty-three counties of Michigan. In- cluding the orders from outside the state, the total was 659'. The work of preparing the yeast is under the direc- tion of Dr. Wald Giltner, head of the department, and is supervised by R. L. Tweed, research associate. BONUS BILL VETOED. PRESIDENT HARDING has vetoed the bonus bill, but this does not mean the end of bonus legislation. In vetoing this bill, the President gave as one of his chief objections that “the bill proposes a government obligation of more than four billions without a provision of funds for the extraordi- nary expenditure, which the executive branch of the government must finance in_the face of difficult financial prob lems, and the complete defeat of, our commitment to effect economies." The President has made it. plainly understood that he will veto any sol- diers’ bonus legislation which does not contain a. provision for nuancing the for your, proposition by means of a sales tax. The next move will be to develop sen- timent in favor of a bonus-sales tax bill. CAPPER GRAIN FUTURES BILL. HE Capper- -Tincher grain futures trading bill has passed the Senate. This measure meets the objections of the supreme court to the former law, and at the Same time, it is believed, will be more effective in eliminating - objectionable features in boards; of trade transactions. It was enacted in time to be given a practical try-out in marketing this year's grain crop. FARM BUREAU yEMBEReHlPCAM. PAIGN pRocREssss. HE Michigan State Farm Bureau and the Shiawassee County Farm Bureaus opened a membership renewal campaign in Shiawasse county on'Sep- tember 25. The Shiawassee campaign follows similar campaigns in Allegan, Van Buren and 'Barry counties, where about sixty-five per cent of the original membership has been renewed, with considerable territory yet to be cover- ed, according to Clark L. Brody, secre- tary-manager of the State Farm Bu- reau. In Allegan county a little more than two-thirds of the memberships expire January 1, 1923, said Mr. Brody. The remaining third has been signed since the 1919 drive» and expires during the next year and a half. Similar condi- tions prevail in other counties. Offi- cials report themselves satisfied with the progress of their second member- ship campaign. They say, that many progressive farmers heretofore not members are now enlisting with the organization. The Farm Bureau is conducting a. quiet but intensive campaign, said Mr. Brody. -, As present county mmeber- ships expire, the State and County Farm Bureau organizations cooperate in" re-enlisting the membership. CANADIAN LIVE STOCK MEN ASK TA’RIFF RELIEF. HE live stock growers of western Canada are now asking congress for sixty days relief from the "tariff duties on feeder cattle. They say they are losing money and will go into bank- ruptcy unless they can get this relief. For some time they have been moving toward the American. markets before the signing of the tariff by the Presi- dent. Sometime ago the Canadians wrote thirty thousand letters to the farmers of this country asking for their sup— port of this proposition. The cattle feeders of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other feeder states are said to have looked upon the Canadians’ pro- posal with favor for it is strongly op- posed by T. W. Tomlinson, secretary of the American National Live Stock Association, representing the western feeder cattle producers, and S. A. Sykes, president of the Meat Produc- ers’ Association of Iowa. Mr. Tomlinson says his organization will back up the western growers rath- er than the Canadian steers. FARMER’S DOLLAR SHRINKING.

Chase COUINTY AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL. ENOMINEE county operates a county agricultural school, at the expense of "the state and county joint- ly. The fall term opened October 2. Fifty students were reported as enroll- ed in mid-September.‘ As farm condi- tions are not prosperous, many of the children who come direct from the farms of northern Michigan, will prob- ably find it necessary to earn a portion of their expenses. The school runs without tuition charges to students.’ In addition to regular farm courses, the school has found it desirable to give a course in auto mechanics; and during the winter a course for butter-makers and testers is to be given. A new course in wireless telephony is also announced. The superintendent of the school has .made a surveyr of conditions in the county and finds that there are five hundred boys and girls, who have passed the [eighth grade and reached the age of nineteen without any trade or aim in life. It is urged that attend- ance at the agricultural school ought to supply this deficiency for many. UPPER PENINSULA WINS CHEESE PRIZES. HE Upper Peninsula press is fea- turing the success of Upper Penin- sula cheese producers in winning all the prizes for cheese at the recent Michigan State Fair. According to a report from the dairy bureau of the State Department of Agriculture, the first prize was won by Hermand Schmidt, of Wallace; second prize by the Cloverland Cheese Company, of Menominee; third prize by Charles Kalchick, of Faithorn. The percent- ages scored were 96.5, 96 and 95. Our people are very much pleased with this showing. . BULLFROGS TO BE IMPORTED. HE big Tennessee “honker,” a large bullfrog weighing as high as four pounds, may be introduced into the Copper Country in V1923,‘says the Gazette of Houghton. The frogs are said to be Wonderful eating, one frog making a meal for two people. Super- visor John Mackay, of Portage town- ship, who is interested in the project, is reported to have been given assur- ances by the state game commissioner cf Tennessee, that, next season, he will be glad to- cooperate with the Copper Country s rtsmen in introducing the frog into northern Michigan.

OME'HMES very simple devices will do a lot for protection and con- venience and can be made by anyone. Padlocks are ' frequently found frozen, and also-rusted from continual expos~ are; Here is something that prevents 'all this. Cut a piece of rubber from an old boot leg, about six-by-six inch- . es. Tack it to a strip of wood one-by- six inches, and nail it to the building above the staple that holds the pad- lock, so that the rubber will hang down over the lock. Here you will always find your padlock dry and not frozen. Do this when the lock is new. It can’t rust them—W. E. F. A TRUCK WAGON. NYONE having an old top buggy or surrey that is not used for road travel, or “worn on ,” can make a very 'handy little truck wagon out of it, pro- viding the axles and spokes are in fair condition. ‘ First, remove the body from the run- ning gear, leaving the springs on the axles. Next take off the wheels and cut off the spokes nine inches “from the hub. Cut pieces wedge-shaped to fit in between every spoke and one- inch boards on the sides. Put them on vertical on one side and horizontal on the other, then bore holes between eye- ry spoke and bolt together. Then bolt . a two-by—two piece on front and rear springs, and nail on boards for a flat top, which makes it very convenient. An ordinary buggy pole cannot be used unless an extension is put on the frent end, in order to give the team a longer hitch to prevent striking their 7 heels on the doubletree. In ordinary light farm work, hauling plows and narrows, etc., it will be found the hand- iest tool about the barnyard—Warner E. Farver. HIGH PRICES ENCOURAGE CO- ” ’ OPERATIVE THRESHING. N many cases the threshers are still charging war-time prices for their work. If this should continue with the grains at their present prices, many co- operative threshing associations, such as there are now operating in Van Buren and Washtenaw counties, Mill spring up throughout the state. If the farmers were receiving war- time prices for their products they would not object to the fees charged, but with wheat selling at less than a dollar and other grains in proportion, they feel that they have just cause to complain at the excessive charges imade for a few hours work at their farm. In many cases the threshing charges now are nearly double those of ,1916. In cooperative enterprises, » this work could be done at cost, where from six to twelve- farmers with a thou- sand ‘or more bushels of grain each could organize to operate on a bushel basis overa period of years. MANY ACRES SHOULD BE. REFOR- ESTED. Na recent talk before the Saginaw ‘ High SehOol students,-H. M.

Costs by the month or the year are lo'werr—proven by the fact that large corporations operate business fleets of Hupmobiles in preference‘to lighter cars which cost less to buy. L The Hupmobile makes fewer trips to the repair shop. It misses fewer days at work. It goes farther on tires. Invariably, the H upmobile record is a story of contmuous savings, that amount to actual earnmgs. _ There is no speculation about the Hupmobile. From first to last, it is a good invest- ment for the farm.

Is a person with a‘ lake on his farm 1xhlch has an outlet and inlet obliged let the public on the lake to fish? A rented his farm to B for three years- and to pay rent B was to clear five acres each yeai. In the three years he cleared five acres. In about a year and a half B bought the farm and has not paid any taxes nor interest. B agreed to put up fence, can B remove fence? B moved off place and hired a man to do work on the farm. Can be bold possession of thé farm?———W. T. W. Whatever the character of the lake, no person without the owner’s consent has any right off of the water on the adjoining land. lake, the only right incident to the easement of navigation is to go boating there. It does not include the right to stop and fish, any more than the highway would include the right to. go, hunting there. If. the outlet is suffi- ciently large for use for any commer- .cial purpose, of which the Original test was rafting of logs, the lake is nav- igable. The question as to the fence does not state whethei the sale was by con-v tract or deed, and if the latter whethei there was a Incitgage back. If them. was a deed without mortgage back the only remedy to prevent the removal of the fence wouldlbe *to file bill to fore- close Vendor‘s lien and restrain waste, alleging defendant to be insolvent. If the sale was by contract or with mort- gage, waste can be prevented—Rood. comm. 1.01:, My cousin owned a farm next to me, and our farms are on a. small lake. child on the bank-- of this ~1ake5‘...r5"l‘he grave was fenced witha pick’ét fence has owned it for twenty years and is selling the land for summer homes.

No doubt it is some form of rheuma- tism that ails your pig. It is hard to say what the cause is as it appears un- der various conditions. The animal should be kept in a warm, dry place and as comfortable. as possible. and fed a laXative ration; If necessary in or- der to keep. the bowels open give one ounce of epsom salts twice a week.

Wheie the landlord furnishes live stock and machinery, the tenant fur- _ _ , nishes the labor and gets one-third of ? _ the proceeds. Expenses such. as seed and threshing bill, are usually divided in the same manner as the proceeds. Where strawberries and raspberries number of acres of berries in as good ' a condition, are left on the farm. Satisfactory legal form can be pur- chased at book stores or obtained from notary public.

ANY of the fruit growers in the . . ‘ western Michigan fruit belt would have suffered disaster as far as this season’s crop is concerned had it not been for the city autoist who came to . his farm to buy fruit. At the time of ' ' the heaviest harvest, freight cars were s ' very scarce, and it would have been impossible to have moved the fruit in the ordinary way; but the city auto- mobilist from Chicago and western Michigan’cities helped many of these farmers to dispose of the bigger part of their crop by their purchases. «W va RASPBERRY MOSAIC ASPBERRY growers are much « . concerned over the increasing ' losses sustained from raspberry mosaic .or yellows. The disease is prevalent in all raspberry sectionsand nearly , every planting has infested bushes. I Mosaic produces a yellow, mottled ' appearance 'of the' foliage and a dwarfing of the canes and, when. once infected, the plant and all its canes will always carry the disease. The yield of diseased plants is much-re duced, and the berries are crumbly and seedy and entirely lacking in flavor. So far as is known at present, the only way in which mosaic is spread from one plant to another is by the raspberry louse or aphid, an other- wise rather harmless insect. Since these aphids rarely, if ever, develop wings, the spread of the disease is quite slow and it has probably taken many years for mosaic to reach its present proportions in commercial plantings. Recently, a plant disease expert was 1 ' , ~ appointed to. the staff of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station at 3 Geneva who is to devote his entire time to aistudy of the diseases of small fruits. He has already begun work on the raspberry mosaic and, in his opinion, the only remedy for the present situation is the planting of dis- ease-free stock. Since growers have not been in the habit of selecting clean stock, m-uch diseased material has undoubtedly gone into new plant- ings. The big problem today, then, is to produce disease-free stock on a- sufficiently large soale to supply the , commercial grower. While this will * probably take from three to five years, the outlook for the future of'the rasp- _' «berry industryyis really .quite encour- ' fixing. as it seems reasonable to ex-' «A: . attainment standard packages and . grades were. . but to work under the jurisdiction of . Your tractor, truck, engine or pump, and your automobile all depend upon the motor’s piston rings, pistons~ and pins for economy and the machine’s length of life. . There is great waste in all of them when wear has taken place in these three vital units. And these parts wear faster in farm motoas than they do in city-used motors, because of dusty roads and fields. Dust works into the cylinders through the car- buretor and mixes with the lubricating oil where it acts as an abrasive and produces more wear than happens in city automobiles that operate on paved streets. There is special need for farmers to overhaul their gasoline motors. - Thousands of added miles of car life and many added hours of power usefulness can be given most motors by renewing their piston rings, pis- tons and pins.
