CURRENT COMIVIENT





THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





This is Good Health week. Here are

wishes for a heap of health to you.





 





 





 





They say we start dying the day we

are born, but why hurry the process

by unhealthf-ul living?





A western‘doctor says: “No wonder

there is so much fresh air in the coun—

try, the country people use so little

of it.”





To the present generation the night

air bugaboo is a laughable superstition.





URING his talk





Federal at Washington

Farm Court House, Ohio, H.



, , C. Wallace, Secretary

Leq'slahon of Agriculture, said,





“Take it all in all, I

think it is fair to say that during the

past eighteen months the needs of ag-

riculture, both temporary and perma-

nent, have had more sympathetic and

intelligent consideration at the hands

of congress than during any other sim-

ilar'period in our entire history.”



The truth of this statement is evi-

dent when one reviews the acts favor-

able to agriculture that congress has

passed. The emergency tariff bill pre-

vented a further breaking of an al-

ready depressed market for agricultur-

al products by keeping big stocks of

foreign farm products out of this coun-

try. The Stock Yards Act and the

Grain Futures bill will also help, as

they will check frenzied financing in

the sale of live stock and grains. But

the War Finance Corporation Act, the

increasing of the capital of the federal

farm land banks and the modifying of

interest rates on bonds of joint stock

land banks have probably been the

most beneficial of any acts passed for

some time, because they have helped

to make it easier for the farmer to bor-

row money.



. The financial phases of farming

have been great hindrances to it. The

farmer has had only limited means of

borrowing and, therefore, only too

often, has been forced to sell his prod-

ucts at low prices to middlemen who



- have a more elastic means of financ-



ing. These middlemen often made “big



money” for no other reason than that

they had better borrowing facilities.



When the farmer can borrow like “big



business” can, he may also be in a.



better position to make “big money. ”

Farming is going through the great-



‘ . est depression in its history, but



~ through the stress and suffering during



this depression there is undoubtedly

and the” need of doing something to get

rid of them.. Furthermore, it brought

to the realization of the commercial

world the fundamental need of profit.-

perity.

they do not, and as a result it was

much more difficult 0n the part "of the

auctioneers to interest prospective

And when we think of the situation,

we find this fundamental principle un-

derlying all kinds of merchandising.

The man who makes a business of

tion to the details of how the goods

program for culling is put into effect,

the Michigan biddies willbe shelling

eggs out on about the same efficient

basis as the manufacture of some well-

known Michigan automobile products.



This program will put Michigan in

the front rankas a poultry producing

state but it will not prevent the sale





or trading in for groceries, eggs of ;





questionable character. These prac-

tices are nation-wide but whenever

they occur they act as a' dertiment to

the reputation of the products of the

community from which they come.



Wisconsin is starting a state-wide

egg culling and grading campaign in

order to increase the reputation 'of its

hen fruit in outside markets. The pro-

gram is being undertaken by the state

department of markets and will include

grading, branding and improved meth-

ods of packing eggs. A state-wide egg

and poultry dealers’ association will be

organized to assist in making these

plans workable.



Such a program would make a logi-

cal sales campaign to supplement the

improved production plans in this state

which are now under way. “Michigan

Standard A Grade” in hen fruit as well

as in tree fruit will be just another

step to add to the reputation and prof-

it of an already famous state.

ably be arrived at by merely accepting

the total assessment 0! all property in

“It would also make it possible to





abolish the corporation tax which was

levied by the legislature in 1921. This

tax is yielding, under the preSent rates,

,and with the present. limitation of

$10,000 as the maximum amount to be

paid by any corporation, about $5,600.-

ed in any event; and the rate should

be a flat one for corporations of all

sizes. {If this were done, the amount

paid by the corporations of the state

would be materially increased. “But if

an income tax such as here assumed

werepassed, it would be. possible to

relieve the corporations of both their

corporation taxes and the taxes levied

upon their property for the support of

the state. ”

The State Income Tax





Prerz'dem‘ Frzday of M. A. C. T ell: W/mt Sue/z a T ax W ou/d Do





0 property tax would be needed



to raise funds for state purposes



if a four per cent tax were levied

upon incomes in Michigan, declares

President David Friday, of the Michi-

gan Agricultural College, in a recent

open letter. Not only this but the sur-

plus would be suflicient to wipe out

the state debt in the course of the

next ten years.



_In View of the fact that electors in

Michigan will be called upon to decide

whether or not they wish the state

constitution changed so that the legis-

lature will have authority to provide

for an income tax for state purposes,

our readers will be interested in what

President Friday has to say. His let-

ter runs in part:



“If the income tax law were drawn

in such a manner as to require the re-

porting of all incomes, large or small,

the grand total reported under the law

would not be far from $2,000,000,000

in an average year. From this amount

would be deducted the personal ex-

emptions allowed. If such exemptions

averaged $1,000 for persons reporting,

they would amount to about $1,400,~

000,000. The income subject to the





‘four per cent tax rate in an average





year would therefore be around $600,-

000,000, and the tax thereon would

amount to $24,000,000.



“Since income’varies from year to

year with changing business ”condi-

tions, the amount reported and the tax

paid would likewise vary from year to

year. It is not likely, however, that

the net income subject to tax in any

one year would drop materially below

$500, 000000.

therefore be $20,000,000; .,





The tax paid would

poor year.

subject to tax would amount to $750,-

000,000; and the tax to $30,000,000; In

periods of boom and of unusually high

prices, the net income would be even

higher than this. In 1919 and 1920 the

amount of net income subject to tax

on this basis would have been more

than one billion dollars, and the tax

more than $40,000,000. The situation

with respect to prices, profits and in-

comes for those two years was so ex-

ceptional, however, that it is not likely

to be repeated.



“Such a tax as this would enable the

state to relieve general property from

all direct taxes for the’support of the

state government. In the last three

years the state taxes levied upon gen-

eral property have been as follows:

1919, $17,432,512; 1920, $17,379,244;

and 1920, $20,452,380. For 1922 the tax

levy will he $17,300,844. It seems clear

then, that the four per centincome tax

would cover the state tax, even in a

poor year. It would be possible, there-

fore, both to relieve property of a. levy

for the support of the state and accum-

ulate a surplus which might be applied





to the extinction of the present indebt-~

,edness of the state.





At the end of the

calendar year 1922 the state of Mich-

igan will have. outstanding bonds to

the amount of $63,500,000. A four per

cent income tax would yield a sum-

cie‘nt surplus over the amount needed

to run the state to wipe out this. in-

debtedness within the next ten years.

county, Pennsylvania, with its average

But for downright magic in getting





money out of the soil, successful truck '

I visited a number of truck farms and

the Kalamazoo gold mine. Hollanders

to getting the most out of a given num-

ber of acres.

in farming. Half the gamble with the





weather would be taken out of the

farming business.” 7



Humus is a religion with these truck

farmers. Not a scrap of ally vegeta-





. tion not salable leaves their acres. All





gees back into the soil. Every second

or third year stable manure at the rate

of a carload or more to an acre is put

on and turned under in the fall. The

field that is devoted 'to the earliest

of truck crops—~radishes and onion sets





. ——is sowed to barleyin September and





the green manure turned under as late

as possible. This' field is the last

planted the following spring. Commer-

cial fertilizer at the rate of a ton or a

ton and a quarter an acre is applied

annually. It is significant that the fer-

tilizer is home-mixed in accord with

the formula recommended by the State

Agricultural College.



The truck farmer’s season is long.

February 15 is the date generally ac-

cepted in the Kalamazoo district to

seed the benches in the small green-

house that is part of the truck farmer’s

growing establishment. Thousands of

celery, cabbage and tomato plants for





the market, as well 38 the plants that

are to be transplanted in the fields are

grown. One grower sold five million

plants last spring, receiving $1.50 per

thousand.



March 15 sees the beginning of the

field planting. On this date the first

crop of radishes goes in and the onion

sets are put out. Lettuce plants and

the early celery crop follow when dan-

ger of a frost is over. The warm, hu-





mus—filled ‘s’oil brings about quick germ- ~





ination of. seeds \ and rapid, strong

growth of the plants. The result is

that about the time the average back-

yard gardener _is thinking about plant-

ing, the truck farmers near Kalamazoo

have crops ready for the market at

out-of-season prices.



Successive plantings of these crops

keep'a constant flow of produce going

to the market, and a. constant stream

of cash coming back. Between the

rows of early celery 8. second crop of

plants of the late "variety is set. The

first has been boarded, bleached and

marketed by the time the second crop





._ has made sufficient growth to be ready





for the boards.





 





Intensive Truck Farming Makes One Acre Do Work of Ten, or Even More





 





Odd J Obs with aTractor





if doing odd jobs, when geheral



work was slack, John Semon has

made a tractor pay on a farm where

the neighbors said it would be a bill

of expense.



“My farmv contains only seventy

acres, ” Semon explained recently, “and

if plowing, and general field work was

all a tractor could do, I could not afford

to have one on the place. I realized

this, and before I bought/ mine, I began

to devise odd jobs to keep itlbusy.



My first odd job was clearing a strip

of timberland. Afterthe trees were

felled and sawed, I used the tractor in

loading the logs,'then again in hauling

them to the mill. Afterward, I began

to pullstumps. With a little skill in

handling, I found (that the machine





would make an even pull, and'develop

a great deal more power than a team.





I Cleared the piece'in four days, there-

by saving a week’s time with team and

man—power. ’





In fencing the land, I brought the”

tractor into action again. Hauling the





 





proved my own highway, but was ‘able

to take in some money besides.

When marketing time came around,

I. rigged‘up a couple of wagons and

hooked on the tractor. With this outfit

I hauled my own grain and that of my





neighbors. On my return trips I

brought back fertilizer in the same

manner.





I used the machine again in bringing

in my winter’s fuel, loading and haul-

ing logs, etc.

saw, I uSed the machine in cutting.



I have found the tractor O. K. in

belt work. Many times other farmers

and I work together at this. If he has

a feed grinder, cutter, etc., we ex-

change labor and save money.



In neighborhood work such as this,

I often exchange tractor power for

teams. _



“These are but ,a‘few of the many

jobs which my machine does," contin-

ued Mr. Semon. “I have rigged up a

number of home-made devices at prac-





tically no expense, and every day I





find something new to which the trac-





_ to'r canbe put. For many of these jobs f

it replaces horses, doing the work

Then, with a neighbor’s





 





 





Kalamazoo Celery is Noted for Quality.





Succession of plantings and crop ro-

tation are the secrets of the truck

grower’s success. Not a square foot of

soil is permitted to remain inactive,

unless it is to get humus into it. Be-

tween the rows of quick-growing crops

are the Ones of slower growth.



The moment the crops are in the

ground, cultivation begins. Weeds

rarely get a chance to even show above

the ground. The soil is worked over

and over until one can run his hand

into the surface above the wrist with-

out effort.



To do this work a special instrument

—one that I had not seen before—is

used. It is a steel blade an eight—inch

thick and two inches wide, sharpened

on both sides and shaped like a circle

that has been flattened on one side.

The sharp-edge under the soil cuts the

vegetation between the rows and the

soil slides through the loop, being loos-

ened and stirred at the same time.

These hoes, if they may be called such,

are made in various widths, each de-

signed l'or crops that are planted dif-

ferent distances apart.



Along with cultivation is waged a

continuous fight on the insect enemies

of the plants. Spraying is one of the

daily tasks. Bordeaux mixture, into

which is mixed :1 small proportion of

arsenic, and nicotine sulphate, are the

two most used and they are applied at

the slightest sign of the depredations

of the insects.



Packing and marketing the vegeta-

bles are scientific jobs by themselves.

These truck farmers around Kalama-

zoo have become experts in these de-

partments, as well as in the growing

end. The day’s shipments are brought

into the packing-shed early in the

morning. The vegetables are carefully

washed, made into bunches of uniform

size, neatly tied and packed into hamp-

ers or boxes ready for transportation

to the express station. Even the water

that is used for washing is the best. A

fast-flowing, spring-fed stream helps,

as the temperature of the water hard-

ens the vegetables and puts them into

condition to get to market in prime

shape.





The prices in their main markets—-





Detroit and Chicago—are carefully

watched by these Kalamazoo growers.





A glut of Kalamazoo products is never.





permitted. Neither is one commission



man used for any length of time.

“Our stuff is so good that we keep

that Can be successfully grown in this

section. Many a sandy land farmer

with very limited means, who once be-

lieved it :impossible to build up and

maintain the fertility of his soil, and at

the sametime produce a living for his

family, is solving the problem with the

aid of this hardy legume. The fact

that it will: often produce a good crop

of hay or pasture the same season it

is sown, and a fihe crop of hay and

’an excellent green manure crop the fol-

lowing season, together with its ex-

treme hardiness and. wide range of

adaptability, combine to make sweet

clover the ideal green manure crop.

red clover. If a fair supply of lime is

present, sweet clover will produce good

crops on soil that is too light to pro-

duce alfalfa profitably. It also seems





' _ to grow quite well on muck or other





soils that are much too wet for alfalfa.

The writer has seen a vigorous bunch

of sweet clover growing inthe bottoms

of a ditch, where its roots were cover-





We find that many farmers in this sec-

tion are planning their crop rotations

with the same object in view. The

writer has encountered a number of

farmers this season _who have from

ten to fifty acres of this legume grow-

ing on their farms.

Methods of Seeding.



If weather and soil conditions are



normm, sweet clover may be seeded





ed With mud and water during most 0f - successfully at any time from Apiil 1





, the growing season.





Sweet clover is not recommended in

preference to alfalfa for heavy, fertile,

well-drained soils that are well sup-

plied with lime, and free "from quack

grass, or June grass, ‘unless .the cost





50f. Seedingmust, be considered. It will

'grow to perfection on such soils, but

. alfalfa usually produces heavier crops





of hay per acre. ,



‘ For summer pasture, sweet clover is

probably without an equal. Its ability

to withstand frost, drought, and grass-

hoppers, and produce an abundance of

high-class feed throughout the grow-

ing season places it in a class by itself.





'Many‘ farmers are learning that this





hardy legume will solve the problem

of summer feed for their stock, and

at small expense. Last year a number

of Michigan farmers reported that

their sweet clover pastures carried one

cow per acre throughout the season.





On our hilly lands where clay, grav-





» \ e1, or stony sails predominate, it is usu-





ally very _, easy ..to secure excellent

to July 15. Barley, oats, peas and

buckwheat are good nu1 se crops. The

seed- bed should be carefully prepared

and, if possible, firmly packed, both

before and after seeding. On sandy

soil, chances of success will usually be

best if not more than one bushel of

bats or barley, or one peek of buck-

wheat per acre is sown.



Seeded alone early in the spring, on

a carefully prepared, fertile soil, sweet

clover will usually produce a fine crop

of hay the first season. ~'~





It is usually possible to secure a

stand of sweet clover on a. sharply acid

soil by seeding alone, provided the

seed- bed has been carefully prepared

and 1s wholly free from weeds or grass.

In Our experience, however, such soils

have usually failed to produce profit-

able crops. We are now experiment-

ing in an effort to determine whether

or not it is possible to inoculate and

enrich such soils so they will produce

profitable crops of this legume without

the use of lime.

Lead has no rvoice

'to call its own





T has neither the property of “sounding brass” nor

of a “tinkling cymbal.” Lead is the silent, voice-

less metal.





But it plays its part in music. Pipes of lead-tin alloy

are constantly used by the organ builder because of

its malleability, its freedom from objectionable vibra-

tions, and its durability.





Lead modestly permits the air vibrations to sing in

their own pure tones. So, though lead be dumb, it

does its share to provide the world with music.

There are unnumbered ways in which lead enters

into your life. There is hardly a phase of human en-

deavor where lead is not called upon for some major



C or minorservice. ‘





It is hard to say which of all is its most important

function. Paint made from white-lead does a wonderful

work in preserving wood and metal from destruction

and in beautifying them as well as protecting them.





The best paints are made with white-lead. The

. more white—lead a paint contains, the greater are its

protectiVe qualities.

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.





 





A consolidated. agricultural school

that was voted for by the bond issue

to build a school-house was defeated.





. The question at issue now is over free





text books. When the seventh district

are those books district property, and

them? The school board is slack.

What will we do to make them act?

I am one on the school board against

four. We do not expect to ask any

questions that are explained in the

General School Law of Michigan.

SHARE RENTAL.





 





What would be a fair division on an

eighty-acre farm with about half‘ plow

land and the rest pasture? Owner has

three cows, two ,young cattle, one

brood sow, one horse,- eighty hens.

Renter has one horse, truck, harness,

wagon, plow, barrow, cultivator. Rough

fodder is fed on the place. Renter

boards with owner, does chores, cuts

wood in winter Chief money crop is

potatoes. —Reader.



To give a definite answer to this

question is, of course, impossible, as

no two rental propositions are alike.

Certain fundamentals, however, apply

in all cases and from these the give-

and-take method may be applied in ar-

riving at a fair agreement. Where the

renter furnishes all stock as well as

tools, and boards himself, he ordinarily

gets two- thirds according to the usual

custom. On the other hand, when the

owner furnishes all tools as well” as

stock, renter gets. one-third. On the

basis, then, of what each of youris

furnishing, a one-half division of the

crops, milk and other stock products,

including increase in live stock, would

seem fair so fares the farm is con-

cerned.



It then remains to make an equitable

adjustment as to board. - Owner fur-

nishes. board~ .at. whatever board is

worth, and as part payment at least

for his board. rental furnishes enehalf

of. the farm products used in the home,

and cuts the wood.—-—I—I. M'. E.





 





LAND PLASTER NOT BENEFIGIAIL





 





Can you please tell’ me where I' can

get land plaster nearest to my home

station“ Homer? Can you advisetme

what application of this to use with

barnyard manure on barley and alfalfa/

pect? Can you tell me what results

an application of land plaster might

bring when applied on. new muck» land.

And what crops it gives the best re-

sults when sown with on both high

lands and muck?———J. M'. P.



A number of years ago land plaster

was used on clover and in some in-

stances produced good results, but in

many instances it gave no- perceptible

results whatevorp It has since been

proven that plaster does not correct

acid soil, and it does not furnish‘plant

food, and its use lies been, So far as

I know, entirely discarded. -



The reason it produced results in

some instances was due to1thq fact

that it would/act chemically in the

presence ofu trllicate of potash, setting

fies the potash and this produced good

results in clover and other creps.

THE GERMAN BEET INDUSTRY l8

CRIPPLED.





 





I‘UDENTS of conditions in Germany

declare that it will at least require

ten years for the German sugar indus-

try to get back to its pro—war condi-





tion. Even should it recove'r this po-,





sition, the export capacity of the coun-

try will probably be cut'in two through

.the‘ losing of a large acreage of im-

portant 'beet lands to Poland.



Further handicaps are being experi-

enced by the German farmers. Their

soil has greatly deteriorated since the

beginning of the ‘war. Imports of oil

cake and phosphate fertilizers have

been» so small during the past seven

years that farmers have been unable

to maintain former high producing

conditions. For these reasons, it ap-

pears that from now on the United

MANURE.-





 





URPRISINGvresu‘lts have been ob-

» tained- by soil and crop' experts at

Geneva, New York, in a series of tests

recently completed, from the use of

“wheat straw with horse manure. When

fresh straw was added to manure and

applied to growing crops, a pronounced

— detrimental effect was noted as com-

pared with crops where fresh manure

.was used alone. It was further ob-

served that when straw was‘added‘jo

the manure, together with some pre-

' servative, a marked loss of the [organic

matter of the manure reSulted. .The

loss of organic , ,. matter amounted

to fifty-three per cent during an inter-

val of four months where peat was

added to manure-straw mixture and

only thirty—two per cent where the

peat was added to manure alone.



The best results appear to follow the

use of acid phosphate With manure in

the stables. A couple of handfuls of

‘ the acid phosphate is scattered in each

stall each day and the animals areal-

lowed to trample it into the manure.

The manure can then be stored in a

covered shed, or pit, until it can be

spread in the field.

ple. Among the hundreds of

families of little pigs that we





’1 1 have cared for: upon their arrival into





the world we have often found some

squealers. They never amount to much.

Usually they die sooner or later with-

out having accomplished anything

worth while. Often they are responsi-

ble for: the death of others even, be-

cause of the trouble and irritation they

We frequently pick

them up by the heels and let their

that struggle

es 3 t t h e lap-

board that achieve success in their ef-

forts to make hogs of themselves.





I have often thought as I have work-

~ed with hogs, and especially with the

little fellows, how much alike are pigs

and people. They are both hard to

drive but easy to lead. Among them

both we find squealers and fighters:

There seems to be a superabundance

of squealers among the human popula-

tion at the present time, (I came near

saying it was unfortunate that they

could not have been treated like the

squealing pig at birth), and like the

pigs they seldom accomplish anything

worth while. They just run around and

squeal for what the fighters are work-

ing for and getting. They get in the

other fellow’s way and hinder his pro-

gress, but the real fighter keeps right

on sawing wood no matter What the

weather or the prospects, and it is he

that brings home the bacon. It is the

fighters among men, the ones who nev-

er give up, who struggle ceaselessly

for_ the places in the world which they

are best prepared to fill, and in which

they can do the most good, that are

responsible for the world’s progress.

How badly we need more of this kind

today.





To come down to a concrete applica-

tion let us suggest that a little more

reduce the squeal in pigs. The chief

- cause of squealers among. new-born





pigs is largely due to a lack of proper

period of gestation. Pigs that are com-

pletely nourished from the day they

are. conceived till they are born are the

ones. that fight for the best places be-

fore they are an hour old. And they

also are the ones that ‘contlnue the

fight through life, and pay. It is not

an easy matter to care properly for

hogs. It takes considerable of 1the

fighting instinct, the determination to

do the thing right, if we would achieve

the greatest success with hogs. There

are an endless amount of details that

are Constantly calling for attention.

There are fences, houses, yards and

Opinions and Comments





 





 





STANDARD MICHIGAN VARIETIES.





 





N your issue of October 14, you ran



a story by L. B. Raber, entitled,

“Michigan Fruit Farm Notes,” on page

389.. I was very much interested in

the first part of this story, but in the

last three paragraphs he makes some

comments with regard to varieties

which are not at all in line with the

recommendations we have been trying

to put before the growers of the state.

For- instance, he suggests that fruit

growers contemplating new plantings

go easy on such varieties as Greening

and McIntosh but to plant heavily of

Stayman and Ben Davis as well as

some of the other standard varieties

which we have been recommending.





The list of standard varieties for

Michigan, a copy of which I am enclos-

ing, was made up by the executive

board of the Michigan State Horticul~

tural Society, the experimental com-

mittee of that society and the members

of the department of horticulture of

this institiution. The fruit growers

who were concerned with the making

up of this list represented every com-

mercial fruit growing section in Mich-

igan and there was absolutely .no doubt

in the minds of any of them but what

Greening and McIntosh were two of

the better varieties for Michigan and,

further, that McIntosh should be one

of the two or three leading varieties

for the state.





With regard to Stayman Winesap,

if a. Michigan fruit grower could see

this variety growing in the Shenan-

doah-Cumberland Valley of Pennsyl-

vania, Maryland, West Virignia and

Virginia, he Would at once realize that

it would be foolish‘ for us to attempt

to compete with that section in the

production of this variety because the

trees do not produce as satisfactory

growth in this section and the' fruit

produced here could not compete upon

the markets with the fruit from that

section—Roy E. Marshall, Professor

of Horticulture, M. A. C.



We are glad to print this as we are

in entire accord with the plans for

standardizing Michigan fruits. This

standardization is a fundamental step

toward putting Michigan in front as





-a fruit state—Eds.

[THE AlR-COOLED STORAGE PRAC-

TICAL.





 





UCH study- has led to the gen-

eral conclusion that the air-cool-

ed storage house is the most practical

type for the average farmer. This

kind of storage house is so constructed

as to utilize the air in cooling. This

is accomplished by providing an intake

of cold air which often runs for some

distance under the ground. ‘The air

coming through this intake is cooled

before entering the storage house.

The plan of taking in air during the

night when it is cool outside and then

closing the storage house during the

daytime is also a practice successfully

followed by many who use these hous-

es for keeping perishable products.

A further practice not so generally





during the night to thoroughly cool off

and then put them in sterage’early, in

themorning. This avoids much heat-

ingthat often results from piling large





products in the storage before there





is opportunity for the natural heat to

escape. ’

noon—'wm' m 1.3..
" 0RD NORTHCLIFFE, the Eng-

' , lish newspaper owner, was in the

3 United States something over a

Fyear ago. While here he was asked

what he thought of prohibition. “When

does it begin?” he asked. This sarcas-

tic question was heralded overthe

world as proof that prohibition in

America did not prohibit Within the

past few months another .subject of

the British Empire has been in Amer-

ica. Unlike Lord Northcliffe he did

not come prejudiced against prohibi-

tion, but he came to study the ques-

tion, and to ascertain the exact facts

in the case, so'far as he was able. This

was Mr. Gifford Gordon, of the Victor-

ian Anti-Liquor League, of Australia.

So many stories are floating through

the Australian press'of the oceans of

liquor that are be-

ing consumed in

prohibition Amer-

ica, and others

of the you-can-get-

all-you—want or-

der, that Mr. Gor-

don was sent over

here to learn the

truth, before the

campaign for a

dry Australia is

pushed farther.

~ ' The result of

Mr. Gordon’s researches and travels

are surprising, even to Americans. He

' traveled twenty-five thousand miles,

visiting almost every large‘ city, many

smaller cities, and many rural com-

munities: He talked with employers

of labor, labor leaders, criminologists,

doctors, alienists, national, state and

city officials. He read the newspapers

and magazines. He omitted no source

of information. He says, “Prohibition

in America Has Succeeded!”





 





   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

   





HIS traveler learned many things



about us that we do not know our-

selves. For instance, he asked the

editor of a great city newspaper why

the press said so much about liquor

violations, and the editor replied:

“Violation of law is news. Observance

of the law is not news. For example,

a prominent citizen may lead a life of

exemplary virtue, and the papers will

not comment on the fact. But let him

fall from grace, let him break the law,

and he becomes a subject for newspa-

per headlines.”



Mr. Gordon collected facts and fig-

ures that must have made his trunk

groan, when he packed it for the re-

turn voyage. He quotes figures by the

column, on the decrease of drunken-

ness, in the great cities. For instance,

the figures show that in Detroit there

was a decrease of over ten thousand

cases of drunkenness in one year, after

prohibition became law. Judge Gem-

mill, of the Municipal Court of Chicago

.wrote him that there had been a de-



' crease of six hundred thousand, in the

number of persons arrested for drunk-

enness, a decrease of from one hun-

dred to four hundred per cent for near-

ly all cities.



Take the matter of alcoholic insti-

tutes, for the cure of the drink habit.

Formerly there were sixty-eight Neal

Institutes throughout the. United

States, and twelve years prior to pro-

hibition they had treated one hundred

twenty-five thousand patients. But two

years after prohibition had become a



', law, all these alcoholic institutes were



'7 7 closed. The largest Keeley Institute



“ wasin'Dwi‘ght, Illinois; This has been



i" leased- to the government for five

.years, as a. hospital for soldiers. For-



; merry? there were fifty.Keele.y‘ Insti-



tutes. in the country, now there are

twelve, most of them very small. This

was learned from the former head of



' , ‘ y Institute at Dwight.

diers. Doctor Pollock, statistician of“. ,

the State Hospital Commission of New ‘ ‘





York, wrote Mr. Gordon: “There are a ‘





now no institutions in this country ,

solely for inebriates.”





W HAT of prohibition and crime?

In Pittsburgh our traveler was

escorted through the prison. “We have

840 cells here,” said his guide, “and in

the days before prohibition we often-

had as many as 940 prisoners. Now i

315 cells are empty.” In Seattle the

jail accommodates 300 prisoners, but

the day the visit was made, there were

but ninety-five. To quote JudgeGenr- l

mill'again, “Twenty per cent of the

jails have been without prisoners since,

prohibition went into effect; and. in -

eighty per cent of them the number of - '

prisoners has been reduced anywhere

from fifteen to eighty per cent.”



How do labor unions feel about pm“

hibition? Many believe that the men

who toil in mines and factories are

opposed to it. But investigation does

not bear this out. James Duncan, Sec-

retary of the American Federation of

Labor states that Mr. Gompers does

not represent the workingmen when

he says he is opposed to the Volstead

Act. The canvass of labor leaders

made by the Literary Digest shows

that 345 leaders believed that prohibi-

tion was a benefit to the laboring man,

143 that it was not a benefit, and thir-

ty-one Were doubtful. Thrift has in-

creased immensely since . prohibition

became a law. Statements to this ef-

fect were made to Mr. Gordon all over

the United States. The president of

the Interstate Trust Company of Den.

ver, said that “Prohibition has had a

wonderful effect in turning into the

savings banks money formerly spent

for liquor.





R. GORDON was told by some



that prohibition was responsible.



for the “Crime Waves.” But he says

that crime waves have swept England, ,

France and Germany, where prohibi-

tion does not exist. He was told that

the use of narcotic drugs had increas-

ed since the advent of prohibition. But

there has also, he says, been. a vast

increase in the use of drugs in Eng-

land, during the same period, and it

can hardly be attributed to prohibi-

tion there, as Great Britain’s drink bill .

last year‘was $2,000,000,000. “The op-

ponents of prohibition,” says Mr. Gor-

don, “are holding up their hands in

horror over an alleged increase in the

number of drug addicts in America.

‘ They are saying, ‘We told you so. You

take away drink from the people, and

they will resort to drugs.’ With strange

inconsistency these sanfe people in the

next breath will tell you that there is

just as much drinking now as before

prohibition, and. that you can get it.

anywhere. Ye gods, what logic! Here

is a mouthful: “The New York City

Health Department asked 1,403 drug

patients how they acquired the. habit,

and only twelve of them said they

were driven to it by the desire for

alcohol.” '

Has prohibition had a square deal?

Mr. Gordon, after a year of investiga-

tion believes it has not._ It has been.

maligned, misrepresented, ridiculed,

but, worst of all, the facts have not

been published as to how it has actu-

ally worked.

He went out of the room then, and

'Fairbhild, obedient to the big Cornish-

man’s command, sought rest. But it

was a hard struggle. Morning came,

and he joined Harry at breakfast, fac-

ing the curious glances of the other

boarders, staving off- their inquiries

and their illy couched consolations.

For, in spite of the fact that it was

not, voiced in so many words, the con-

‘viction was present that Crazy Laura

had told at least a semblance of the

truth, and that the dovetailing inci-

dents of the past fitted into a well-con-

nected story for which there must be

'some foundation. Moreover, in the cor-

ner were Blindeye Bozeman and Tay-

lor Bill, hurrying through their break-

fast that they might go to their work

in the Silver Queen, Squint Rodaine’s

mine, less than a. furlong from the ill-

boding Blue Poppy. Fairchild could

see that they were talking about him,.

their eyes turned often in his direc-

-tion; once Taylor Bill nodded and

sneered as he answered some remark

of his companion. The blood went hot

in Fairchild’s brain. He rose from the

table, hands clenched, muscles tensed,

only to find himself drawn back by the



strong grasp of Harry. The big Cor-



nishman Whispered to him as he took



his seat again: .



“It’ll only, make \more trouble. I

know ’ow you feel—but ’old in. ’Old

in_1!



It was an admonition which Fair-

child was forced to repeat to himself

more than once that morning as he

walked uptown with Harry, to face the

gaze of the street loafers, to be plied

with questions, and to strive his best

to fence away from them. There were

those who were plainly curious; there

were others who professed not to be-

lieve the testimony and who talked

loudly of action against the coroner

for having introduced the evidence of

a. woman known by every one to be

' lacking in balanced mentality. There

were others who, by their remarks,

showed that they were concealing the

real truth of their thoughts and only

using a cloak of interest to guide them

to other food for the carrion prociliv-

ities‘ of their minds. To all of them

Fairchild and Harry made the same

reply: that they had nothing to say,

that they had given all the informa-

' tion possible on the witness stand dur-

ing the inquest, and that there was

, nothing further forthcoming.



And it was while he» made this state-

ment for the hundredth time that Fair-



. child saw Anita Richmond ’going to

the post oflice with the rest of the

usual crowd, following the arrival of

the morning train.





Again she passed

him without speaking, but her glance

did not seem so cold. as it-had been on

the morning that he had seen- her with

Rodaine, nor did the lack of recogni--

tion appear as eaSily simulated. That

she knew what had happened .and the

charge that had been made against his

father, Fairchild did not doubt. That

she knew he had read the “personal"

in the Bugle was as easily determined.

Between them was a gulf—caused by

what Fairchild could only guess—a

gulf which he could not essay, to cross,

and which she, for some reason, would

not. But there was n‘othing that could

stop him from watching her, with hun-

gry eyes which followed her until she-

had disappeared in the doorway of the,





“‘1 ~

ally. “But it’s necessary. You ’aven’t

quit?”



“Quit what ?"



“The mine. You’re going to keep





on, ain’t you?”



Fairchildgritted his teeth and was

silent. The answer needed strength.

Finally it came: "



“Harry, are you with me?"



“I ain’t stopped yet. ”



“Then that’s? the answer. As long

as there’s a bit of." fight left in- us, wetll

keep at, that mine. I don’t know where

it’s going to lead us—but from.- all ap-

pearances as they stand now, the only

outlook seems to. be ruin.» But if you’re

willing; I’m willing, and we’ll make

Harry hitched at his trousers.

post office, eyes which believed they

detected a listlessness in her walk and

a slight droop to the usually erect lit-

tle shoulders, eyes which were sure of

one thing: that the smile was gone

from the lips, that upon her features

were the lines and hollows of sleep-

lessness, and the unmistakable lack of

luster and color which told him that

she was not happy. Even the mascu-

line mentality of Fairchild cou'ld dis-

cern that. But it could not answer the»

question which the decision brought.





She had. become engaged to a man‘





whom she had given evidence of hat.-

ing. She had refused to recognize





Fairchild, whom she had appeared to.





like. She had cast her lot with the

Rodaines—and she was unhappy. Be-

yond that, everything was blank ’to

Fairchild.



An hour later Harry, wandering by

the younger man’s side, strove for

words and at last uttered them.





“I-know it’s disagreeable,” came fin-z





“They’ve got that blooming skeleton

out by this time. I’m willing to, start

—-any time you say.”



The breath went over Fairchild’s

teeth in, a long, slow intake. He clench-

edhis hands and held them trembiing

before , him for a lengthy moment.

Then he turned to his partner. .



“Give me an hour,” he. begged. “I’ll

go then—~but it takes a little grit toe"



“Who’s Fairchild here?” A meSsen~

ger~ boy was making hisway along'the-

curb with a, telegram. Robert stretch-

ed forth a hand in surprise.



“I am. Why?”





The-ansWer came as the boy shoved ‘





forth the yellow envelope and the de-

livery sheet. Fairchild signed, the):

somewhat dazedly ran a finger under

the slit of the'envelope. T‘ien, won-

dering, he read:



Please‘come to Denver at once. Have

most important information for you.



‘ _R. V.‘Bamham,



H & 1% Building.





A moment 04: staring then Fairchild

passed the telegram over to Harry for

his opinion. There was none. Togeth-

er they went across the street to the

office of Farrell, their attorney. . He

studied the telegram long. Then:



“I can’t see what on earth it means,

unless it is- some information about





this skeleton or the inquest. ‘fiIf I were

you, I’d go.” -



“But supposing it’s some sort of a

trap?”





“No matter what it is, go and let the

other fellow, do all the talking. Insten

to what he has to say and tell him

nothing. That' s the only safe system.

I’d go down on the noon train—that’ll

get you there about two. You can be

back by 10:30 tomorrow.” ‘



“No ’6 can’t,” it was Harry’s inter-

ruption as he grasped a pencil and pa-

per. “I’ve got a list of things a mile

long for ’im to get. We’re going after

this mine ’ammer and tongs now!”



When noon came, Robert Fairchild,





with his mysterious telegram, boarded "





the train for Denver, while in his pock-

et was a dist demanding the outlay of

nearly a thousand dollars: supplies of

fuses, of dynamite, of drills, of a forge,

of single and double jack sledges, of

fulminate caps—a little of everything

that would be needed in the months to

come, if he and ’Arry were to work

the mine. It was only a beginning, a

small quantity of each article needed,

part of. which could be picked up in

the junk yards at a reasonable figure,

other things that would eat quickly

into 'the estimate placed upon the to-

tal. And with a capital ”already dwind-

ling, it meant an expenditure which

hurt, but which was necessary, never-

theless. \





.Slow, pulling and wheezing, the train

made its way aloug Clear Creek canyon, -





crawled across: the newly built trestle

which had been erected. to take; the

place of that which had gone out with

the spring flood of the milky creek,

then jangled into Denver. Fairchild

hurried uptown, found the old. building

to. which he had been directed by the

telegram, and made the upward trip

in the ancient elevator, at last to knock

upon a door. A half-whining voice an-

swered him, and he went within.



“Mr. Barnham?”. '



“That’s what I’m called.” He wheez«

ed with the self-implied humor ofhis

remark and motioned toward a chair.





“May I ask what you’ve come to see '





me about?”



“I haven’t the slightest. idea. ,1 You

sent for me.” Fairchild produced the

telegram, and the greasy person who

“I also.” Fairchild pufied dubiously

upon the more dubious cigar. The

greasy individual returned to his table,

dragged the chair nearer it, then, seat-

ing himself, leaned toward Fairchild.

er of the Blue Poppy mine.”



“I’m supposed to be.”

raised a. fat hand and wheezed in an

Fairchild?”



“Have I?”



“I was merely asking.”

that you seemed to know.”



“So I do. And one friend.” Barn-

ham pursed his heavy lips and nodded

in an authoritative manner. “One very,

very good friend."



“I was hoping that I had more than

that.”



“Ah, perhaps so. But I speak only

from what I know. There is one per-

son who is very anxious about your

welfare.” '



Mr- Barnham leaned forward in an

exceedingly friendly manner.



“Well, isn’t there?”



Fairchild squared away from the

table.



“Mr. Barnham,” came coldly; the in-

herent distrust for the greasy, uninvt -

. surface. ‘I‘You, wired me that you had

Flowers Shorten the Winter Days





always comes the dread of- the



long winter months which in

many farm homes will not be short-

ened by the cheery bloom of any flow-

ers. Because many housewives believe

that it is diflicult to grow flowers suc-

cessfully, it might be well to give a

few rules which, if followed carefully,

should produce the best results.





Flowers of nearly all kinds require

a reasonably rich soil not too heavy.

Well rotted manure should be mixed

into the ordinary garden loam and if

the soil is heavy, mix in sand enough

to make it porous. In watering, be

careful the plants are not too wet. It

is well to wait until they look quite

dry, then soak thoroughly, never al-

lowing any water to stand in the sau-

cer. Manure water about the color of

weak tea, is also a great help to growth

if given every two or three weeks.





Nearly all plants require sunlight and

all must have fresh air. Arrange the

plants so the draft does not strike

them, but never make the mistake of

thinking that they do not need air. For

nearly all plants a certain amount of

sunlight is also necessary.



The sultana and ge1an1um grow very

easily from slips. I have had the best

success rooting them in water, but

sand is also good. When they have a

root\growth, set out in a crock filled

with a mixture of garden loam, well

rotted manure and a little sand if the

soil is heavy. For geraniums, I” put

in the bottom of the crock a quantity

of well rotted manure, then a little soil

on which to set the plant, then fill the

crock with the loam, firming around

the plant. Fed in this way, they will

grow to a splendid size. Do not have

the crock too large as the plant will

run to leaves and will not bloom.

Stones or broken crockery should al-



_ways be put in the bottom to provide

drainage. If kettles or cans are used,

punch holes in the bottom of the dish.



Both petunias and snapdragons make

fine winter bloomers. If slips are ob;

tainable, start the same as with gera-

niums. If one cannot get slips,a paper

of seeds will cost but little and provide

plants not only for the winter but also



. for the flower garden next summer.

I prefer the Giants of California pe-

tunias as they are wonderfully ruffled

and the colors are unusual. Ordinary

garden loam well mixed with sand is

best fer starting them. I prefer boxes

”and like to sift the 'soil, as the seeds

are very fine. Sow thinly, then scatter

on aJayer of the sifted soil. In water-

ing, care should be taken not to wash

out the seeds.

sized plants, transfer to cracks or tin

cans filled with the loam and manure

mixture mentioned above. These plants

will grow rapidly and furnish a wealth

of bloom through the later winter and

early spring. They can be transferred

to the flower beds after danger of frost

is past and will bloom through the

summer. '



_ .There isno plant which will give

more beautiful blooms than the cybla-

men and nearly every woman .loves to

have at least one of these. While they

are more difficult to raise than many





WITH the heavy frosts of fall





. / ' plants, it is quite possible to raise them





. from seed. Now is a good time to start

Dear Uncle Frank:



It has been a long time since I have

been writing to you. I have read the

girls’ papers, so thought I would write

to you. I wish I could get a prize this

time, but I expect to fail just as I

always have. Don’t you think so?

S‘chool begun_ two weeks -,ago but

we have a good teacher so I don’ t mind

anything but the test.

But west of our house we have a

pine giove and east of it is some of

the flowers and American Beauty ros-

es. Peach Uses and a snowball bush

are there, too. With love, your niece,

Helen Paul, Stockbridge, Mich.



It isn’t much use in trying contests

if you expect to fail, for you one vely

likely to, then. I would like to have

visited your flower garden before Jack

Frost did. It has been quite a time





since I heard from you.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Am I welcome, too, among your

nieces and nephews? I live on a farm

of eighty acres. 1 am thirteen years

old. We have few cows, four mules,

one h01se, and one pony. But, our

pony is cute, he will walk up the steps,

take things out of our pockets, and

when papa is milking he comes into

the barn and takes papa’ s hat off and

sometimes nips him. He is so fat that

our pony saddle will not fit him.



Well, my letter is getting kind of

long, so good- —bye until another time,

that is, if I may. Your niece, Alice

Parsons, Dimondale, Mich” RR. 2.





Sure you’ re welcome. Come again

when you can. That pony must be

very interesting. If he gets much fat-

ter you’ll have to give him some anti-

fat.





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have been too busy to write to you

and the pals, but I hope you haven’t

f01 gotten me.



This summer when papa was lame

I drove the team, and he and I put

thirty- -eight acres of hay in the barn.

I think that that was the work which

made me sweat most.



Our housekeeeper had left us just

before it was time for school to com-

mence, so daddy and I were left alone.

I have been doing the housework and

walking two and one- -half miles to

school each day so you see I have had

plenty of exercise. But I was getting

along fine until last week Wednesday

morning I ran out doors at half— p-ast

five and slipped on some frosty boards

and sprained my right ankle very bad-

when I have to walk I do so with a

chair. I have had twenty-six callers

since I got hurt. So you See I have

quite a host of friends and am not wor-

rying about getting lonesome.



It is very hard for papa now, for he

has to work inside and out and wait

upon me besides.



Well, that is almost enough woe, for

if I do not stop being sad you won’t

Practically every farmer Who is

doing business in America today

is up against a situation which is

taking a large ’part of his legiti-

mate profits.





Whatever you raise—hogs,

wheat, corn, eggs, beef, dairy

products, garden stuff—you’re

fighting against disorganized mar-

ket conditions, erratic public taste,

manipulation, and the lack of the

effective cooperation which might

whip the business of farming into

line for real profit.





No wonder the farmer works

long hours every day only to find

a slim bank balance (if any) at the

end of the year—even this year

with bumper crops!





BIGGER PROFITS ARE

POSSIBLE





In a new series, starting at once,

THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN

takes up this problem. Fifty

trained investigators are going over

the whole business of farming,

point by point, crop by crop, and

the result of their investigation

will be published in the next thir-

ITCHlN-G ON BODY.





 





I have a troublesome itching at times

on the bod-y. Sometimes it will be a.

little red like on the skin; that is in

the summer. It is a miserable feeling.

When I use all or any fat I get a kind

of itching on the left side'at the low-er

rib. What can I do to get relief or

cured ?-—C. A. '

from. your diet. Starve yourself a little

if you have enough weight to be able

to spare some. Drink milk freely but

let it be skim—milk or buttermilk.Drink

plenty of water. Be sure that your

bowels are active. No one thing is, so

apt to cause itching eruptions as con-

stipation. It will pay you to have an

examination made of your urine, giv-

ing special attention to the preSence of

question had stirred up ‘a multitude of

possibilities,'doesn’t it?’ That is exact-

_ SIMPLE HOPPERS AND HOLDERS.





HOUGH’ quickly made of low-cost

materials at home,‘ the “ equipment

of maslr hoppers, grit and shell hold-





’ ‘0le water containers and the like,,;ican-





still be as practical as any purchased





"equipment? One simple type of hopper





is a'small shallow box, across the top

of which slats are nailed at intervals.

If tools and materials are handy, it

can be made, in not much more than

fifteen minutes. Another style endors-

ed by'side-line poultry keepers is made

of a. box three inches deep and two

inches wide by thirty-six inches long,

or similar proportions. A piece of half-

inch mesh poultry wire, cut to fit the

box and placed on the mash, prevents

the hens scratching the mash out.



If either of these hoppers is left on

the floor, it will be necessary to clean

it out occasionallyhas the hens will

likely scratch pieces of litter into it.

It is well sometimes to mount the h0p-

pers on platforms, in which case the

water pan, a container four inches or

so deep, should be firmly attached on

an extension.





Still another style of successful

mash hopper is made with a. rather

wide eighty-quart wooden pail. With

one pail in an upright position, a sec-

ond, or a piece of suitable wire, is at-

tached at right angles to it, upright,

and the two are lashed together at the

top. This bail arrangement prevents

the hens perching on the rim to eat.



For charcoal, grit and oyster shell,

3. rather shallow small box, divided

into three compartments and attached

to the wall, will do. Or another prac-

tical way is to use three large tin





nailing the cans to the wall a little

off the floor. The latter idea, modi-

fied, can‘ be used for water. A flat-

sided pail should be obtained, and~ a.

hole made, near the top, with which to

hang it over a nail in the wall. A round

pail thus hung would give trouble.



Poultry house “furniture" gets out

of order and wears out. Take the time

occasionally to clean things up and

renovate. Ship—shape equipment cheers

the hens and cheers the poultry keep-

er.——J. F. Bartlett.

I am feeding one quart of ground

——H. F. S





s A laying hen requires about four

ounces of feed—per day. This should

be equally divided; between scratch

feedand dry mash. Trouble will be

experienced in encouraging the birds

’ proportion or;

scratch. and mash unless the feeding

practice so regulates the amount of

scratch feed given that the hens will

consume the mash to satisfy their ap-

corn and one of wheat in the eyening,

is recommended.-- The dry mash, con—





sisting of equal parts by weight“ of3





bran, middling, cornmeal, ground oats

and meat scrap





the hens at all times. Green food





should be provided at least once a day.l

The most palatable form of green fOOdl





is sprouted oats; however, mangels,

cabbage, etc., could be used as a sub-

stitute. The green food usually has a

tonic effect on, the hen and increases

the appetite of the fowl;





green food should be fed preferably int





the morning to stimulate the appetite

of the bird. Grit and oyster shell

should, of course, be before the birds

at all times. ’





The common grains fed do not con-

tain enough calcium carbonate to pro-

vide lime material when the hens are

in heavy production and the most

available form of calcium carbonate

can be supplied in feeding oyster

shell. Oats are an. excellent feed, but

are not quite as palatable as either

corn and wheat. It is usually advis-

able to soak, germinate, or sprout the

cats to increase the palatability of the

grain. Oats have a higher {feeding val-

ue when sprouted for three or four

days .





The ”above ration is being recom-,





mended by practically every agricul-

tural institution and has become a

standard ration for a majority of the

egg-laying contests. If the birds do

not respond to this feed either the

breedingpr. other environmental fac-

tors which influence production will

need consideration.~—E. C. Foreman,

ProfessOr Poultry Husbandry, M. A. C.





TURKEY WITH SWELL-“H EAD.





One of my turkeys has for the past

three months had. a large swelling un-

der the eyes and on both sides of the

bill. Some days the swelling will be

puffed up more than usual. It seems

to be contagious, as I notice one 'of





the other turkeys has a swelling just-





started. Theser turkeys seem to be

growing, do not appear sick, and eat

well. What is the trouble, and what

can we do for it?-—-T.





When turkeys have the disease

known as swell-head the swelling con-

tains a gelatinous substance. Some-

times the swellings disappear or re-

main and become filled with cheesy

pus with a bad odor. The swelling

must be drained andthe bird treated

similar to a case of roup in hens. Try

using Zenoleum as a. wash and use it

according to directions or/Ljhe can.

N amendment‘to the constitution



' changing the method of electing

officers was'the on y business of note

transacted by the Michigan Milk Pro-

ducers’ Association at its annual meet-



ing on October 17 at Michigan Agricul-

tural College. Under the new system-



‘ the‘oflicers are to be chosen by the



directors instead of being elected di-

. rectly' by the delegates.

l The new board of directors consists

’ of:'N. P. Hull, of Lansing, John C. Near,

of Fat Rock; W. C. McKinney. of Dav-

isburg; W. J. Barnard, of Paw Paw;

Horace Norton, Sr; of Howell, and J.

J. Brackenberry, of Bad Axe. During

the year just closed Mr. Hull was pres-

ident, Mr. J. C. Near was vice-president

and Mr. Norton was treasurer.



A resolution endorsing the tubercu-

lin test for cattle was the only one to

be adopted. President David Friday,

of M. A. C., was the chief speaker of

the day. He enlarged upon his pro-

gram, previously announced, of more

efiicient dairy production through the

[elimination of the unfit and the use of

better feeding methods.



Except for some heated remarks by

Mr. Barnard bearing on the price of

milk, the session was harmonious

throughout. That gentleman’s protes-

tations came as a result of his nomina-

tion for re- -e1ection to the board of

directors.



The committee on sales, it was an-

nounced, will continue the campaign

to dispose of milk to Detroit dealers at

a price fair to both consumers and pro-

ducers.—H.





 

 

 





 





THE HOWELL HOLSTEIN SALE.





 





HERE were $13,310 paid for pure

, bred Holsteins at the ninth public

~ ‘ ~sale of the Howell Sales Company, of

'Livingston “county last. Thursday. A

good crowdshdwed up and the bidding

‘ was’fairly active, although: the average

price at $144.67 for the ninety-two head

‘ ' - was below what the quality of the

stock merited. Had many of these and

. imalsbeen in better sale condition, no

doubt the receipts would have been

~ larger: Col. J. E. Mack cried the sale,



, while S. T. Wood was in the box..

'~ , . Sixty-nine cows passed through the

ring. at an average of $144 per head.

Five of'these were struck off above the

THE COPLAND HOLSTEIN DISPER-

SION SALE.





 





HE most successful pure-bred sale



we have yet attended this year was

that of Alexander W. Copland, at

Strawberry Hill Farm at Birmingham.

Possibly one reason for the way buy-

ers took hold was that this stock was

put in good shape for the ring. While

it no doubt should be otherwise, the

fact remains that when an animal goes

into the sale ring, fitted according to

modern ideas, it invariably sells at a

higher price than it does if just taken

from the field.



The forty-nine animals at this sale

brought $8,475, or an average of $173

per head. The thirty-two cows were

bid off for a gross total of $6,205, or

$19.4 each. TWO of these animals sold

for $400 per head. One was Strawber-

ry Modle Korndyke out of the twenty-

eight—pound cow, Anna Homestead

Modle Korndyke, and sired by Hardy

Pontiac Segis, a grandson of the King

of the Pontiacs. The other was Prin-

cess Edna Tehee DeKol,. a seven-year-

old sired by King Tehee Fayne and a

great granddaughter of King Segis.



Eight yearlings crossed the platform

for a total of $1,050, or an average of

$131.35. Eight calves brought a total

of $1,170, or an average of $146.25. The

average for the calves was consider-

ably increased through the sale of an-

other daughter of Anna Homestead



Iodle Korndyke for $315. The only

male sold was a seven-month-old calf





Iwhich brought $50. The sale was most





ably auctioneered by Col. J. E. Mack,

with S. T. Wood, the pastmaster in

Holstein pedigree lore, in the box.





STANCHIONS IN ‘fMODEL STALL.”





 





Years ago you gage me the measure-

ments to build the model stall. Now





. the Detroit City Board of Health 'teiis .





me that I must have stanchions. So- I

am coming to you again to tell me how

I can preserve the good» qualities of

thezmodel stall and at the same time

comply with the rules—cf the board of





health. Can I place a stanchion in the . '





old stall" and make it work? - I have

had clean cattle ever since I have had





the stall, and hate to part with that





part of it. Can you assist me? I have

thirty days to do it in.——E'. F. C.





I do not see how you can place a”





stanchion in the model stall. Stanch-

ions do away with your hay manger

entirely, vandthe principle is entirely

different. With the stanchions, the

cows must be lined up at the gutter,

but with the model stall, they are lin-

ed up at the manger.





If the Detroit Board of Health insists . -

.on stanchions, I think you will have





to tearbur your stalls entirely. It'is

unreasonable for the board to- compel

you-~to do this, because your can keep

cows just as. clean and produce just as





‘ciean milk with the model stall as with





stanchions. Besides, the stall gives

the. Cow much more liberty and com-

fort than the stanchion.





I know of several parties producing '

HILLsoALe SHORTHORN SALE.





N auction sale of pure-bred Short-



horn cattle was held at the fair

groxmds in Hillsdale, Michigan, on the

afternoon of.Wednesday, October 18.

The sale was held under the auspices

of the scuthern Michigan Shorthorn

Breeders’ Association; the offering was

by consignment, the animals coming

largely from breeding herds owned by

members of the organization.



There were twenty-seven females,

all of outstanding quality and many of

them with calves by their side. The

consignment included six fine young

bulls, all ready for service. This was

the sixth consignment offering made by

this association and disinterested

breeders, who have attended all of

these sales, agree concerning the high

average quality of the cattle; instead

of putting in discards and animals

which they desired to weed out of their

herds, breeders have made selections

from the most richly bred and the most

perfect individuals in. their herds. All

of the cattle listed had been tested for

tuberculosis and were guaranteed

breeders. \ .



The following is a. list 'of the breed-

ers who furnished the cattle: E. J.

Frank, of Montgomery, Mich. ; N. P.

Bailey, Camden,'Mich.; Fred N. Baker

& Son, North. Adams, Mich.; E. M.

Steinniger, Three Rivers; G. P. Card,

of Reading, Mich.; Gum Baker, Jones-

ville, Mich.; H. M. Maloney, Hudson,

Mich. ;, Jay R. Rogers, Morenci, Mich.;.

John Southworth, ’Allen, Mich.; Wm.

D. McMullen, Adrian, Mich, and W. G.

Osius, Hillsdale, Mich.



The following is a partial list of the

breeders who purchased cattle at this

sale: F. J.,Webb, Paw Paw, Mich.;

C. R. Pottstadmus, Mich.;' Ed. Ran-

dall, Litchfield, Mich.; Isaac Eldridge,

Hillsdale, Mich} E. C. Wellington, of

Springport, Mich.; Jay R. Rogers, Mor-

Montpelier, Ohio; Minard Steinniger,

Three Rivers, Mich. ; Ed. J. Fix, Pion-

eer, Ohio; George Gill & Son, Ypsi-

lanti, Mich., and Clyde Cady, Grass

Lake, Mich. ‘ ,



When the, high average quality of

the cattle' is taken into consideration,

the prices realized ‘Iooleextremely low.

The highest price, $255, was paid by

Minard Steinniger for a beautiful roan

cow with a calf by her side; only one

other sale was made aboye $200. Andy

WHEAT





\Vith the total supply of wheat out-

side of Russia and Mexico actually less

than last year, when more was con-

sumed than was produced, the exist-

ence of a large surplus in North Amer-

ica becomes less serious

movement from the latter to date has



" been absorbed without difficulty. Be-

sides the decline of approximately 250,-

000,000 bushels in European wheat pro-

duction compared with last year as

shown by reliable estimates, the rye

crop is about 100,000,000 bushels less

so that a big increase in European

wheat and rye needs is evident. Under

the conditions, the financial ability of

the importing countries to buy as much

as they need seems to be the deter-

mining factor in the trend of prices

during the remainder 01' the season.





CORN





Corn priees’ have advanced even

more than wheat from the low point

of the year and are now the highest

since January 1921. The first cars of

new corn at Chicago have been of ex—

cellent quality and have sold for

around 73c‘compared with 36@39c last

year. Receipts have been larger than

usual for this time of the year but-

domestic distributors and exporters

have been taking it, as fast as it arriv-

ed and drawing upon visible supply

stocks in addition. The world’s corn

. crop is believed to be 500,000,000 bush-

els less thanlast year. -





OATS





OaTs prices are trailing after Scorn.

. There is some export demand and do-

.mestic distribution is satisfactory as





7 the high quality of the new crop is





attractive to consumers who were

loathe to take the inferior oats pro-

;duced last year. ‘

, in»





 





1,411,000 bushels last year and 1,760.-

000 bushels two- years ago. Alfalfa

seed thus far has been marketed more

slowly than last year. .





FEEDS





With feed grains advancing, by-Dl‘Qd-

uct feeds also have remained firm and

in many cases are the highest since

the decline started. last spring. Pro-

duction is at a high rate and stocks

are adequate with those in transit,- or

stored, increasing. 'Prices are largely

nominal as actual buying is said to be

limited. -





‘ HAY





Shortage of cars is curtailing. ship-

ments of hay, and receipts at leading

markets are light. Chicago has re-

ceived 35,148 tons since July 1, com-

pared with 37,508 in the same period

last year when the movement also was

limited. There is an urgent demand

for alfalfa with cattle and lamb feed-

ers as well has dairymen in the mar-

ket, and good grades of timothy are

moving readily.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Fresh egg prices advanced last week

to new high figures for the season.

Diminishing receipts and keen demand

for fine eggs were the causes. Storage

eggs do not seem to be moving freely.

Apparently, the market must endure

some pressure from this source before

the immense stocks are distributed.

Although it is six weeks since the sea-

son at which frozen poultry usually

begin to accumulate in storage, it has

not begun to do so this year. In spite

of the increased production of chick-

ens, receipts in the last few weeks

have been smaller than in the same

period last year. Prices are slowly

working lower. ' '

. BUTTER





Butter prices reached a new high





level for’ the year at the close of last-





week. Light receipts coupled with

maintenance of broad consumptive de-

mand .were the factors responsible.

Fresh butter of the higher, scores was

scarce. Productidn'is gradually shrink-

ing. Thus far consumption has not

been affected in an‘ important way, at

least, by the advance in prices which

are now about 45 per cent up from the

low point of the year a little over two

months ago. Storage reserves are be-

ing reduced rapidly. Prices on 92—

score fresh butter were as follows:

Chicago 450; New York 48%0; Boston

461,“; Philadelphia 47%0. At Detroit

fresh'creamery in tubs sells for 38%c.





CHEESE





Country cheese markets advanced

early last week and prices on the prin-

cipal distributing markets were raised

about two cents a pound on all styles

as a r‘eSult. Receipts at the four lead-

ing cities in the first three weeks of

October were larger than a year ago

but the consumptive demand’ has been

sufficient to bring about a greater re-

duction in cold storage reserves than

in the same interval in 1921. “





POTATOES





Carlot shipments of potatoes from

the leading’late producing states up to

October 14 totalled 16,000 cars less

than to the same date last year when

the smaller ‘cr0p was shipped at unus-

ual speed. The present movement is

up to.normal for this time of year,

new stock is very good but its scarcity

months and have not provided for

their raw material. Many of them wait-

ed for cheap wool after the permanent

tariff but have been disappointed in

the outcome. The advance is general

all overthe world as every report that

comes from British or Australian auc-

tions tell of firm prices or fresh ad-

vances. Some American buying is go-/

ing on as more wool must be-imported

no matter what the tariff is. Furthem

advances in cloth prices are rumored.

I‘never got so many eggs before in my life





- ,No guess-work about this. Mrs. Dean

In'4 months she used

three $1 boxes of. Don Sung





“It doesn’t‘ pay to be

without Don Sung,” says

Mrs. Dean. And it’s a fact.

You‘re losing money every

day you “get along with-

out it.” Why not test it for

yourself in this. easy my:

a Give Don Sung to 15



‘ hens. Then watch results

, for 30 days. If, it doesn’t

‘ 1 ' show you a big increase in

eggs, K it doesn't pay for itself and pay

you ‘a good refit besides, tell us and» your

money will e promptl refunded.



Don Sung (Chinese or egg laying), acts

directly on the egg-laying organs. and. is

beneficial in every way. It makes hens

healthy and happy. They scratch and sing.

Pullets develop earlier. The whole flock

lays regularly in any; season, in any

weather, when] eggs are scarce and high.



Can. you afford to ignore the wonderful

reports you are hearing from Don Sung

users- everywhere? Why not let us show

you the same results, with your own flock?

Don Sung is no trouble to use. It costs

nothing to t- ; All we ask is a chance to



rove our cla ms, entirely at our risk. Get



on ‘Sun from your local dealer, or send

A new oil lamp that gives, an amaz-

ingly brilliant, soft, white light, even

better than gas or electricity, has been

tested by the U. S. Government and 35

leading universities and found to be su-

perior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns

without odor, smoke or noise—no pump-

ing up, is simple, cl: an, safe. Burns 94%

air and 6% commo n kerosene (coal oil).



The inventor is offering to send a

lamp on 10 days’ F REE trial, or even

it. Write today for ful particulars.

RIME steer. prices the highest in





a. high lays}, the hog market Well sus-

tained in». spite of heavy receipts; wheat

.the highest in three months. com the

highest. since January, 1921, eats the

highest since March,§1921,p'raw cotton

highest since last July, shutter prices

highest sinCe December, ’1921, cheese

prices highest since March, 1921, and

fresh eggs the highest'since last Feb-

ruary were some of the encouraging

developments in the markets for farm

products last Week. Since meats, but-

ter and eggs are regarded to some ex;

tent as luxuries, they are benefiting

most from full employment of the la-

boring classes. Cotton and wool like-

wise are affected favprabiy by the bus-

iness revival and expansion in volume

of manufacture.





The car situation which has been

acute for several weeks seems to be

clearing up in certain sections. Con-

certed efforts are being made to re

lieve congestion and after October,

which is a peak month normally, con-

ditions may gradually become better,

especially if favorable weather pre-

vails.



Reports upon industrial activity are

optimistic. Steel mills and blast fur-

naces report further increases in op-

erations although new orders are less

urgent and the present rate is believed

to be sufficient to supply the demand.

In fact, steel and pig iron prices are~

easing. Coal production is gradually

gaining. and the continuous drop in

prices since the middle of August is

still under way. ‘ '



Bank reports continue to reflect bus-

iness expansion. Loans are increasing,

the federal reserve ratio is dropping

and interest rates show further hard-

ening. Banks'are said to be putting

gold into circulation freely, apparently

in an effort to raise rates. One result

of a tighter money market is the de-

cline in priees of Liberty Bonds.





Abroad conditions-remain in turmoil.

The change in the British cabinet un-

settled sterling exchange after it had

reached nearly the highest point of the

year. Marks dropped to a new low

of’ about one thousandth of their nor-

mal value. A fresh reparations crisis

is probable in the not distant future.

Chilibd by the prospect of payments

from Germany‘being deferred, French

exchange is hovering around the low-

est levels of the year.
