CURRENT COMMENT

THE MICHIGAN FARMER SAYS:





Wholesome enjoyment is one of the

best stimulants we can take and it is

one of the few that is essontial to

our well-being.





The impressions one gets in early

life are the most influential. Are you

helping your children to get the right

kind?



Plans are as essential in good farm-

ing as they are in good house building.

Now is a good time to make plans for

the coming season.





The opening of Tut’s tomb reveals

that one virtue of the ancients was

'thoroughness. They did a good job

of burying Emperor Tut.





We all make sacrifices. The suc—

cessl‘ul man has to makg them in

order to'attain his success. The lazy

one makes them in order to enjoy his

laziness. Which is worth making sac-

rifices for?

Across a case of illness. In

his mind agriculture

has been sick, and is now well along

on its way toward health.



Recovery has come about largely

through the mutual effort of those en-

gaged in the farming business. The

old spirit of independence and mum

ference to what other farmers are do-

ing, has given away to the spirit of

cooperation. In production, market-

ing and consumption, and even in rur-

al living, this spirit has shown steady

growth. It has given strength and

health as well as influence to the

farming order. ~



But this new spirit has not brought

its full quota of benefits to the farm-

ing fraternity. Its service hasscarcely

begun. What has and will be accom-

plished in the way of improved mar-

keting will ultimately measure Only

knee- -high to what promises to, come





in the way of community building in,





agricultural . specialties. Kalamazoo

celery, Livingston Holsteins, Antrim

seed potatoes, Alpena Guernseys, Otta-

Wa baby chicks—these are suggestive

' of a wonderful possibility in. sane ag—

gressive leadership in every agricul-

Itural cemmunity of the state.





_, ,e-ci'op ideal It does mean that





is does not mean a swing back tO‘





‘ * Mm farmers are





now asking this





1 be 1923 question: 3 .What. are

Sugar the prospects for the.

OutloOk} 1923 ‘sugar campaign?





Figures‘just published

by the department of commerce at

Washington indicate to us the present

status of the sugar business.



'In regard to production, these fig-

ures show that for the year of 1922,

18,308,000 tons were manufactured.

This is 120,000 tons. more than were





produced in 1921, and about 800, 000/

tons more than the annual pre-war'





production.



On the other hand, consumption has

also increased. Before the war the

tonnage annually required was 17,500,-

000. In 1920 this had increased to

16,198,000 tons, the next year to 18,-

680,000 tons and this past 'year to

19,035,000 tons. From these figures

it would appear that consumption is

gaining on production. This is borne

out by the fact that the hold—over for

the present year is the smallest given

in this report. Before the war the

carry-over was 750,000. tons, for 1920

it was 1,700,000 tons, for 1921 the

tonnage was 1,203,000 and in 1922 it

shrunk to the small total of 476,000

tons.



The American producer of sugar

should take into account this further

consideration, that the increased con-

sumption ‘has been greater in the

United States than in all the world

taken together. It would seem, there‘

fore, that the sugar business from the

standpoint of the American producer

is now resting on a sounder basis than

it has been for some time.





UMPING over the





rails the other



The day in a day-coach, I

Broad was impressed by the

Outlook beauty of the land—





scape. No particular

work was rushing for the moment and

there was time to'look up and away

and let the impressions sink in. Com-

pared with the things near at hand,

how much more wonderful the world

seemed. To let the vision roam over

the landscape as far as the" eye could

see, and drink in the fullness Ithereot;

it was like looking at pictures through

a stereoscope, the whole universe was

enlarged. .



It came to me how prone we are

,to fix our vision on the things that are

close at hand, how the impressions of

the eye are reflected upon the soul of

us and upon the mind. Our mental

attitude toward the world and our love

for the earth on which we live are

apt to be in direct ,proportion to the

physical view we take. of it.



We wander over our little forties,

or eighties, or quarter-sections, going

about our work, with our attentional-

ways fixed at our feet. We see the

snags that bother the plow, the buck—

horn in the clover and the thistles

that make us say “words.” It is well

that we should see these things, of

course, for we. cannot remove them by

overlooking them and trying to de-

'ceive ourselves into thinking they are

not there. But the‘ point we should

not overlook is this, that we should

not tie ourselves down .to a wood, a.

snag or the little everyday difficulties

of the farm By so doing, our intel-





lects become dulled; our souls dwarfed,





and our new. of things- in; general

badly warped. . .



The beauties of our neighbors’ fields,

the woods across the section, or the

hills on the horizon are ours to enjoy





awhether we own: the deeds {03111931111 ',

- The. g change in most every-

Ga‘Ohne body's ' attitude .re-'

Tax garding roads. We





all want good ones,

but hate to pay for them. But we can-

not get something for nothing and,

therefore, the manner of paying for

them is one “of the questirms. of. the

hour. ' .,



Some urge an additional tax on the

auto so the user of the road will help

pay for it. But others say that is not

fair to the one who uses his machine

only occasionally and is favorable to

trucks, bosses, and others who use

the road every day in the year.





Others say that a tax on gasoline





will eliminate that inequality and will

make the user pay in accordance to

the. amount of traveling he does. The

opponents to this say that users of

stationary engines are discriminated

against by such a tax. But the

amount of gasoline used in stationary

engines is small compared to that

used in autos. It would seem, there-

fore, the injustice here would not be

nearly as great as in the case of the

occasional auto user. ‘

Furthermore, the auto tax would

not include the thousands of tourists





who travel the state in the summer,





whereas the gasoline tax would get

them to pay at least a share in the

upkeep of the roads they help to wear

out. ’



We believe the fairest tax is that

which makes those pay who get ad-

vantage of the improvement made by

the use of the ‘tax money. As a

gasoline tax seems to fulfill the re

quirements in this respect, we are in

favor of the one which will enable us

to enjoy within reason the comforts

of present day travel.





'HE practice of



selling pure-bred

live stock at .auction

is a very old one. It is

.a most excellent way

'for the breeder ' of

pure-breds to dispose of his annual

production. For many people it is

much more satisfactory than the mail

order method. It may not- bring in

any more money, and many times not

so much, but, it confines the breeder’s.





selling activities to a. very brief period

instead of spreading them throughout

the year; it cleans up his surplus ani-

mals at one sweep, and brings the

money in in a bunch.



Pure-bred stock sales have not been

so general or 90 numerous in our state

as in the corn belt proper, due, no

doubt, to the fact that Michigan live





stock interests, like her other agricul-'

tural industries, are very much diver- '





sified. It takes around forty animals

to justify the expense of a public sale

and great numbers of our breeders are





not ablevto spare that many suitable.





animals at one time. Michigan is full

of small breeders, men who devote

only a small part of their energies to

any one line of live stock. These men

in many inata'nces are combining their

resources and holding combination or

association sales with results that are

proving very Satisfactory.



The growth of the pure-bred stock

,sale in Michigan is very healthy «at





' the present time, and we appear to be»

entering upon a period of“ success and.

f‘By bidding” will, in a very few

years, put an end to successful sales

for the man who practices it; auction—

eers who run bids on- buyers are doom-

ed to extermination as soon as the

public gets wise to them, and it ‘will

sooner orIlater. Boom prices are sure

to have their reaction.





   





An. even run of sales at fair prices,

bone. fide bidding,» and honest stock,

will insure a future for public sales

in Michigan, that will,mean»a, rapid

development of the pure-bred live-

stock industry, a lucrative business for

the breeder, and satisfaction to the

buying public.





Prunes and Prmzm’

OMEBODY says you should- prune

when your knife is sharp. The otlr



er day I got Sammy to work the grind-

stone so I got my knife s—harp enough

to sharpen my pencil. With my'pen-

cil sharp, I’m going to engage in the

great indoor sport of prunin’ on paper.





Now, prunin’ is the cuttin’ out of

waste, and the‘ cuttin’ out of waste

is one of the essenshull factors in

economy and eflichuncy. (Sounds like

I know a lot, don’t it?) But‘it ain’t

- » said ’cause a fel—



' le1 makes a noise

like a perfessor

he is one, too,

does it?



Prunin' is the

cuttin’ out of 'a

lotta ingrowin'

limbs and rubbish

the. tree don’t

need, and what is

interferin’ with the sunshine gettin’ in.

Prunin’ is all right, but it ain’t used

generally enough. For inst, we could

prune our dairy herds and chicken

flocks and get rid of a lotta rubbish

what is interferin’ with out profits and

kéepin’ the sunshine outa farmin’.





There’s lotta things we kin prune,

but the biggest job a prunin’ we got is

with ourselves. When we let ourselves

grow, we get just like the trees do.

We accumulate what you ‘call a ‘lotta

rubbish what is interferin’ with our

eflichuncy and enjoyment. There ain't

any of us but what would feel better

if we would cut out lotta habits of

appetite and disposishuns what grow

in instead of out. All these ingrowin’

disposishuns and such rubbish is. hin-

derin' us, besides they keep the‘sun-

shine from gettin’ into our souls’.



There’s another. thing about prunin’.

Don’t leave no stubs, fcause what you

leave will rot into the good part. So

when we cut off limbs, habits and

such like we should cut; them all off

or suffer what you call the conse-

quences. 7 -



When you don’t prune, you get a.

scruby ylookin’ tree and you can’t get





 





no good fruit from a scrub. Likewise





there's lots 3. folks what is called “you

poor prune” ’cause they ain’t done a

jOb of pruning’ to themselves. Now,

if you wanta get a higher social stand-

in’ in the prone family, you haVe gotta

do a good job of self-prunin’, and that

The English gooseberry, a prized

rieties that will equal in quality and

size those. which we now import.

Attempts to grow the English or

Persian walnut in theeastern United

States have met with’ rather general





failure. That we prize it, that we

would grow‘it if we could, is evidenc-

ed by the fact that each year'we con—

sume 60,000,000 to 10,000,000 pounds.

Michigan’s" average annual consump-

tion is upwards of 2,000,000 pounds.

The price which the consumer pays

for these nuts is probably not far from

thirty cents per pound, a total of a





half million dollars a "year in this state





alone.



A That it should occur to the average

consumer that one of our native nuts

might be substituted for~the imported

article is not to’ be expected. The con-

sumer gives little thought to where

his food products originate. It is, how-

ever, a' little s‘urprising that the farm-

er who has nut trees scattered over

his farm has not thought about the

latent possibilities that these trees

may contain. If he has thought of

them he has kept his thoughts to him-

self. It is still more surprising that

the ' professional horticulturist and

plant breeder have almost totally" ig-

nored the native nut crops.



Certainly the native black walnut is

no more inferior to the best of the

English walnuts than the average wild

grape .is to the Tokay or the Malaga.

Indeed, the confectionery trade cheer-

fully pays more for seedling black wal-

nut meats than for the meat of named

English walnut varieties. If a Con-

tile agricultural areas in the new pax ts

of the world, as a 1esult of perfecting

menced to produce grains on a large

scale—this appearance of cheap grains

on the European markets—shifted the

grain production from western and

northern Europe to the new parts of

the world. Cheap grains from the fer-

tile regions of the new world, forced

the Danish farmer on his light soils to

abandon his old system of grain pro

duction, to animal products. The Danes

cast their lot with the dairy cow and

may we judge from their present de—

velopment, it was a wise choice. In

the eighties it became apparent that

they must standardize dairy product,

and produce it in a quantity sufficient

to make an impression on the foreign

markets. In order to do this they had

to recast their farm practices and pro-

duce a grade and quality of dairy

products such as the markets de-

cows, pigs and chickens. Now, the

marketing problem confronting the av-

erage farmer in the eighties is well

illustrated by the experience of asmall

farmer with six cows, who sent his

butter to a large butter exposition

which was held in London. He pro-

duced a first-class article and won the

first prize. However, this recognition

at the world butter market did not

give him a higher price for his small

weekly butter production. But, like

many other individual farmers who

sent only small amounts, he did not

receive the top price regardless of the

fact that he was selling a premium

quality butter. The English butter





merchants did not have time to sa‘m-‘





ple and inspect a large number of

small batches of butter. They not only

first looked for shipments of butter

which arrived in large quantities of

one grade, but they paid higher prices

for much larger shipments.



The large estate farms, of course,

were much better equipped to meet

this market demand. The larger unit

HE railroads have done the big«

Business can pass these costs on. The

tamer couldn’t. When freight charges

juggling with figures can soften the

blow~ to him. The farmer’s return

comes from what he gets for his out-

Section 15-a of this law puts the entire

agricultural prosperity-making area of

this cbuntry under the blight of ex-

cessive freight rates to overpay the

highly prosperous railway systems.

ducted ’or inefficiently managed roads

may be sustained in their inefficiency.

February 1, I again addressed the sen-

ate on the necessity of repealing the

so—called guarantee and rate—making

clause of this law, in connection with

the joint resolution adopted by the two

houses of the Kansas legislature pe-

titioning congress to enact the Capper

repeal bill. The sooner we repeal the

so-called guarantee clause of the Cum-

mins-Esch act and also give state rail-

road commissions more coordinate

power to adjust rates fairly, the better

We Can Help Europe Make Peace.





With Europe still wasting and de-

stroying—that eleven billions of war

debt it owes us is the greatest peaCe-

persuader we have. The powers are

ample able to pay this debt if they

'will reduce their large armies and

navies. To cancel. it is to compel the

American people to tax themselves for

Europe’s new militarism. So far as I

can see, Europe needs no such encour-

agement to continue fighting. At the

present moment one European power

is buying privately millions of dollars

worth of arms and ammunition in the

United States.



The best thing we can do for Eu-

rope is to call an economic confer-

ence of nations that will make it pos-

sible for Europe to go to work and

further reduce its armaments. We

can have no assured good times in the

United States until Europe recovers

and its markets are restored. The

falling off in our exports 0f foodstuffs

alone, last year, was more than $277,-

000,000, or‘inore than forty per cent.

Our farmers need peace _in Europe al-

most as much as the Europeans.





 





Forty Roads Charging ’Too Much.





It costs a farmer twice as much to

ship a carload of apples as it does a

coal operatorto ship a carload of coal

the'same distance, and the farmer

only gets forty-five and one-half per

cent of the price, the remainder, or

fifty-four and one-half per cent, goes

to the railroads for hauling the apples.



Recently in the senate, in a speech

demanding loWer freight rates for

farmers, and' the,repea1 of the rates

making clause of the transportation

act by which the high rates are kept

up, I referred to the evident prosper-

ity of the great railroad systems and

was promptly contradicted by a num-

ber of eastern publications.





Subsequently, I introduced a resolu-

tion in the senate asking the Inter-

state Commerce CommissiOn to report

the number of Class I railroads which

were earning more than a fair return

and were not returning any of the sur-

plus to-the government required by

the law. The cemmission reports there

are forty, and possibly more, of these

roads. , -



Railroads rank second -to agricul-

ture, measured by the amount of mon-

ey invested and importance to the

nation. Yet for more than two and

one-half years we have let the tail wag ‘

the dog, in this case; although it is . \

quite necessary for a tail to have a . . ~ .4

dog, also to tieat the dog right. I WASHINGTON' D'_C‘ ‘





 





Europe Must Quit Fighting.



But the nations of Europe might as

well understand right now:



That the United States on no con<

sideration will cancel foreign V war

debts or any of them; that these bil-

lions were borrowed from the Ameri-

can people and must be returned to

them, no othe1 alternative existing.



That the United States will not pay

norfinance any European war debt or

indemnity. -



That the United States will join no

European political league or alliance.



That the United States will send no

more troops to Europe. .



That the United States will .go far

to find ways and means to help the

people across the sea if they will ab-

jure militarism and go to work.

BUCKWHEAT AS NURSE CROP

FOR SWEET CORN.





I have three or four acres of corn

stubble, good ground, which I want to

sow to buckwheat this season. I would

like toknow how it would do to sow

sweet clover with it. Which would

grow the fastest? We sow buckwheat

here in June as soon after planting as





possible. Would there be d" chance to .





get buckwheat or would the clover

beat it out? Would it make good l'od-

(le1'?———C. S..



Buckwheat is not considered a good

nurse crop because it is a quick-grow-

ing plant that, if it does well, shades

the ground a1most too much for a clo-

ve1 plant to do well.





On the other hand, it shades at the

right time of the year—:during the hot

dry Weather—and if the clever plants

live through they will make rapid pro-

gress after the buckwheat. is harvest-

ed. It“ you git a good stand 01' buck-

wheat, thero will be no danger of the

clover gettingitoo large- to interfere

with the growth of the buckwheat.



Many have had gobd success seed-

ing clover with buckwheat. It is worth

trying. Don’t seed the buckwheat too

thickly.



Sweet clover makes good forage for

all kinds of 'stock if out before it gets

too ripe and if sown thick enough 'so

it is not too coarse. .,





' NOT SUFFICIENT PROTEIN.





I would like a little infoxination in

regard to feeding milch cows.

This ration is woefdlly deficient in

protein. Cows would have to eat enor-

mous quantities of it to enable them

to get sufficient protein to produce a

normal flow of milk. -





Large quantities of carbohydrates

would actually be wasted because the

cow must use the feed ingredients——

in about

It was about ten years ago when

they again found their way ba1 red but

not for- long. There had been a win-

dow on one side, and a shed having





- been \built on that Side, the opening

‘was loosely boarded up, so loosely, in





fact, that the sparrows soon found a

place to enter, and took full advantage

of it. Then that place, and every other

place they: could possibly gain-an en-

xtrance, was closed. They hung around

for a. few days, and then gave it up,





, but the feed in the barn must be close—





1y covered, and when the hens are fed,

the sparrows are on hand to get their

share.



Did any of the Michigan Farmer

summer. 'They were roosting in two

1an lesson about fertilizers that I' ever .





had.

I caught this fellow running a potav,





to planter without any potatoes in it.‘ '





I sent him back over the row. That

gave this row a double dose of fertil-

izer.

rate of about 1, 500 pounds per acre.



You ought to have seen that row:

when we dug; it..brought at least a.

third more potatoes. That convinced

me that 1,500 pounds isn’t too much

fertilizer on an acre of market garden

crops; in fact, I have sinceused as

much as a ton of fertilizer to the acre

on such crops, and have found that it

paid. —-N. M. Thomiley.





spuos AWA'i‘r CARS.





HE United States Bureau of Agri-



cultural Econbmy says that there

are 160,000 carloads of potatoes which

cannot be shipped because of the lack

of cars. This is the largest surplus

of potatoes in' the 'growers’ hands in

the last nine years



The ability to sell these potatoes

will depend upon the absorptive power

of the market, but it is estimated that-

about 80,000 cars will be sold while

other half will be kept on the farms

for seed purposes. _



Another Washington report shows

that about 50,000,000 bushels, or ap-

proximately eleven per cent of last

year’s potato crop were wasted, con-

sumed on farms or left undug.‘

After the business meeting, an ad-

' ABOUT ISLE ROYALE.





 





R. JOHN LOWE, head of the de-

partment of biology of the North— .

ern State Normal School, speaking in

the Normal Auditorium, recently, gave

an interesting deserlption of the topog-

raphy and resources of Isle Royals,

based upon two visits which he paid

to the island while connected with the

Department of Conservation of Wis-_

cousin. The soil of the island, he says,

is third-rate for agricultural purposes,

but there is an abundance of animal

and vegetable life. The forest cover is

chiefly of balsam, interspersed with

black spruce, white cedar, and a small

amount. of Norway and white pine. He

places a low value on the standing

timber since it is much stunted and





,twisted, due probably to the strong





winds that .blow over the island.



He thinks the official reports of the

amount of moose to be found there are

exaggerated. The water vegetation

upon which the mOOSe feeds is insufii-

cient to support the one thousand

moose, said to be found there, he

thinks.



The island is some forty—five miles

long and averages about nine miles in

width. At one time it was frequented

by Indians in search of copper, and the

evidences of their mining operations

The Indi-

ans are supposed to have heated the

copper-bearing rocks with a wood fire

and then to have poured on cold water

to crack the rock and release the met-

al. Their copper pits are still to be

seen. For a time unprofitable copper-

mining was engaged in by white min-

ACCREDITED HERDS IN UPPER

'





PENINSULA.‘





 





HERE are three accredited herds

' ol‘ Holstein cattle in the, Upper





l Peninsula, according to Dr. F. K. Han-





sen, assistant state veterinarian of the

State Department of Agriculture. Two

of these herds are at Manistique and

one at Chatham. These are herds of

pure-breds which have responded suc-

cessfully to the two annual tests with—

out any unfavorable reaction in the

case of any member of the herd. The

herds contain in all, sixty-one individ-

uals. They belong respectively to John

Brink, C. E. Hamiel and the Upper

Peninsula Experiment Station of the

Michigan Agricultural College. Such

a. distinction carries with it important

privileges‘of shipment and sale and

can be accorded only in counties

which have carried forward werk for





l

IM PORTANCE OF FARM I MG.





 





TO show the importance of farming

in the copper country of Michigan,

particularly in Houghton county, Mr.

L. M. Geismar,





tistics to the Calumet Chamber of

Commerce recently.

aggregate income of farmers in Hough-

ton county at about $743,000 per-year.

Much of this inéome is expended lo-

cally. Banks receive $45,000 interest,





and $149,000 is paid out for farm 13,- ”I ‘





bor, $11,000 for fertilizer and dry-

goods. This indicates what can be ac-

complished with greater agricultural

progress in this large, but as yet not

completely developed county. Mr.

Geismar argued that his farmers re-

quire not more'cleared acres but bet-

ter products.





Meanwhile.the Calumet Chamber of _





Commerce is urging the Duluth, South

Shore & Atlantic Railroad and the

Copper Range Railroad to put into ef-

fect a loweru'ate for farm products,

particularly potatoes shipped out of

the copper country, without which the

farm industry of the region is imper—

iled, it is stated. It cites the caSe of

one farmer who, last season, sold a

quantity of potatoes for $700 and paid





$342 in freight on them. OtherwiSe, it , . . ,





is stated, Houghton county farmers

will turn from potatoes to other prod-

ucts.



In the neighboring county of Onto-

nagon, farmers have sought a reduced

freight rate on hay shipped by rail

from the south to the north and of the





county, and so far the local railroads -

have promised a reduction of four’





cents per hundred. This is not recog-

nized as sufficient and the matter has

been referred to the state public util-

ities commission.which has set March

8 as the date for the hearing.





 





FARM PRODUCTION INCREASES

m VALUE.





 





‘ IGURES from Washington show

that the value of farm products‘

have increased two billion dollars over

last year. This increase was for crops

alone. as animal products showed a.

decreaSe.

'Crop values for 1922 were $8;961,-

000,000, while those of 1921 were $6,-

934,000.000. Animal produCts showed

a valueof $5,349,000,000 in 1922, com-

pared with $5,468,000,000 in 1921.

The 1922 crop value was forty-six





per cent higher than in 1913, but its .





purchasing power in terms of other

products was 10.1 per cent less. The





1921 purchasing power was 29.7 per





cent less, ”so during the year there was

an increase of nearly twenty per cent

in the farm products purchasing power.



Figures Show that farm wages are

lower than three months ago, the de:





’ cline ranging from 3.1 per cent to 6.4 ,





per cent.





The average wage of.day» farm labor- -

ers for the country is $1.98 per day _





without board, and $1.47 with board.





The average for the months hands is .'

board, andt 27.81 with :





$40.30,. without-

:1As,a.§‘country;‘. qavefage, the 1922

wheat“ crop was“ produced at an aver-

. n . age cost of $1.251 per ”bushel, whereas

V ’-‘ the", ssmef crop grown in . 1921 cost

32:01; The yields were nearly equal

_ that of 1922 being fourteen bushels to

the: acre, while'that of 1921.was thir—

teen bushels. , .

Sprinngheat cost $1.00 per bushel

. to produce in 1922 and $2.20ng 1921.

The average production was fourteen

bushels in 1922 and nine bushels in

1921. The lower production in ‘1921

undoubtedly had some slight effect in

the higher cost that year for this crop.

In the great corn belt states, Kan-

sas, .Nebra'ska, Iowa, lllinOis and Indi-

a‘na, it cost sixty-one cents to' grow a

bushel of corn, with a yield averaging

forty-four bushels per acre. ‘

. Some interesting figures were com-

piled :on potato product-ion in Minne-

sota. For instance-in. 1913 it cost

thirty-eight cents to produce a bushel

and in 1922 it cost fifty-seven cents.

The Minnesota farmers got an aver-

age of 103 bushels per acre; but in

Stuben county, New York, where the-

average was 141 bushels per acre, it

cost only forty—three cents, or only

twenty-three cents higher than the

”pro-war figure. The Minnesota cost

was fifty per cent higher than 1913.





HORSES GETTING LESS POPULAR.





LD ~DOBBIN is still unable to com—

. pete with the automobile and is

steadily losing ground, according‘to

the United States Department otZAg-

.7 riculture. The number of horses on

farms on January 1, 1923, showed a

drop of- 203,000 as compared with a

Vye‘ar ago, while cows showed an in-

crease Of 247,000; other cattle, 373,-

1‘000; sheep, 882,000, and swine a gain

of 5,590,000. ‘

The decrease in the use of the horse

in towns and cities has been much

' greater than on the farm. On farms

.the decrease amounted to Seven per

cent in the decade ending 1922, while

the horses in towns and cities de~

‘ creased forty-six per cent in the dec-

'ade ending 1920.





 





 





MICHIGAN 1A LEGUME STATE.

EN the 1920 census figures





V» Were gathered,





near the top: as a legume state. Then

only, one other state in~the Union had

more acres devoted to legume crops,

New York'state leading. At that time

I in 'dry beans, was third in clover and

timothy hay mixed, foiirth in soy-

beans, ninth in clover and twenty—first

.zvSince the year 1919. when the crop

acreage wa's secured by the census

.men, Michigan has made wonderful

strides in building "legume prestige.

within a radius of several miles of his

home heis likely to know about it. It

is, however, nothing 'more than an in.

is universal in the species; and the

trees that have been considered wor-

thy of vegetative propagation simply

represent extreme or unusual develop-

Improved Varieties that are Available.

Apparently among the best of these

is the Stabler, achance seedling found

inMaryland. The nut is only of medi-

um size, but the shell is thin and it

cracks readily, as a matter of fact,

with but little more difficulty than

many English walnuts or filberts. Best

of all, the kernel comes out easily, us-

ually in'halves and often in a single

piece. This latter characteristic is

particularly valuable. It is especially

interesting also, because in those in«

stances in which the kernel comes out

whole the bony partition which in oth-

er nuts is found between the two

halves is crowded over to one side of

the cavity or locule and the kernelhas

a chance to deveIOp as a single large

piece. Associated with the easy crack-

Among the other. improved blagk

walnut varieties that have been intro-

That some will prove much better

is being obtained. for comparative and

experimental purposes. _ , New additions

to this list of varieties may be ex-

pected. ,



Only a few weeks ago attention of

the department of horticulture of the

Michigan Agricultural Experiment Sta-

tion was directed to a tree near Grand

Rapids that for many years has been

hearing heavy crops of very fine nuts.

Some of the nuts from this tree are

shown in one of the_ accompanying

been introduced to the trade. It has

good cracking quality, the kernel is





easily removed ‘and it is; 'of excellent





quality. In flavor and texture thiswal-

nut resembles the native American

butternut more than the black Walnut.

Those Who are partial to the flavor of,

the butternut should thoroughly test‘

the Lancaster Heart Nut.





Nut Tree‘s Can Be Grafted,



Data regarding the Culture of these

improved black walnut varieties are

very limited. However, a few things

are known—enough to dispel some of

the notions that are rather generally

held regarding "nub trees. In the first

place, it may be stated that'these im—

proved black walnuts are as hardy.

vigorous, insect and disease-free, in

brief, as fool-proof, as .the average

black walnut seedling. Contrary to

what might be generally expected,

these improved varieties are compara-

tively rapid growing, they come into ’

bearing young, and some at least are

productive. Set an improved black

walnut tree in a good soil, give it as

good culture as you would a peach or

an apple or a pear,‘and it will grow

about as rapidly as an apple tree and'

it should be bearing nuts at a corres-

ponding age. _



As stated before, little is known re-

garding the comparative yields and

regularity of bearing of the different

varieties. These characteristics can

be determined only by careful trial.

Until they have been determined for

Michigan c0nditions the commercial

planting of improved walnuts is ,not

to be recommended. In the meantime,

however, their limited planting in the

dooryard, garden or about the farm

buildings is to be encouraged. Trees

are wanted in such places for shade

and ornament. Walnuts are often em-

ployed. Why not have the improved

varieties instead oi? nearly worthless

seedlings? ‘



Seedling black walnuts growing in

the yard, garden, pasture or aloug the

fence rows can be made to yield nuts.

of the improved varieties by grafting

them over. It is true the black walnut

does not graft so readily as the apple

or pear, yet if care is taken a reason-

able percentage of the crions may be

made to‘ grow. Not infrequently the

growth from these cions will bear a

good many nuts. the third year after

setting. Trees, limbs or sprouts from

a half-inch to two inches indiameter

graft over more readily than larger

stubs. ‘ - ~

RHODES DOUBLE OUT
‘ LegislatiOn Interrupted.

Legislative progress was slow dur-





‘, ing, the past week due to the State

. ' ; G. O. P, Convention at Flint and the.

' ' f joint legislative celebration of Wash-





ington’s birthday.

However, the House passed the





”Town “Filled Milk” bill and the Hor-





ton cheese standard 'bill. There was

practically no opposition to these

measures.





 





“Land Certificatipn” Proposed



From a farmer’s standpoint, perhaps

the most important development was

the introduction of the much-discussed

"Land Certification” bill sponsored by

the development bureau of the State

Department of Agriculture.‘



This bill would establish a System

of land certification and transfer un-

der state regulation. It would make

certification of land - optional, but

would prohibit the selling of any un-

improved land without certification un-

less it had been seen by the purchaser

while the snow was off the ground.



Provision is made for a state license

for dealers who agree to handle only

certified land. Certification of land

would include the following: Map, lo-

cation, topography, soil types, and the

location of roads, schools and shipping

points.





 





Taxation Biggest Problem.



“The biggest thing we have to do

here this session is to work out a

definite tax program,” said Rep.

Thomas D. Meggison of Central Lake

in a recent speech on the floor of the

House. He added, “We are confront-

ed with responsibility for shaping a

general taxation program and must

keep faith with the people.”



in these few words Rep. Meggison

sized up the big job of the 1923 ses-

sion of the Legislature.



A large number 01' tax changes have

been proposed and referred to the

Committee on General Taxation of the

House. Members of this committee

seem to be taking their task seriously.



“It is our aim,” said Rep. Charles

E. Evans of Tipton, Chairman of the

Committee, “to secure a sensible and

adequate taxation system which will

yield suflicient revenue and at the

same time relieve real estate from its

present excessive burden.





 





Farmers Will Be Represented.



Agriculture should receive very

favorable attention this session if the

number of farmers in the Legislature

is any indication.



Eight of the 32 Senators and 39 of





the 100 Representatives give theii oc- '





cupations as farming. The complete

occupational census is as follows:

Senators—Nine lawyers, eight far-

mers, three bankers, two physicians,

two editors and publishers, two real-

‘ PLAYTIME.





 





GRAY haired, gray bearded state

A senator, whose empty hands

were seamed and twisted with

the lines of a lifetime of hard work,

argued against physical education in





'the schools, the measure enacted by





the Michigan legislature of 1919.

“Mebbe it’s all 'right for the city

schools,” he declared. “Mebbe the city

children need it. But not for children

out in the country.

exercise they want without fol-de—rols

of physical training. D0n’t I know 2’"

He did not! Actual investigation





has shownthat the children of the,





farm are as much in need of recrea-

tion as any. The report of a commit-

tee that went back to the farm for its

facts, contained these conclusions:



(a) Farm boys and girls do not de-

velop symmetrically.



(b) The work of the farm seems to

over-develop the major, or fundament-

al muscles, while the finer or\ acces-

sory muscles are neglected. 7



(c Farm life in general does not

produce a degree of mental alertness

and neuromuscular coordination es-

sential to an enthusiastic and optimis-

tic outlook on life.





The report does not'stop with not-

ing the defect. It goes on to point out





the very obvious remedy. - That fem- , ‘





edy is organized ,play. ‘Group games;

organized athletics; lfolkv‘ dancing;





community singing are among‘the 3.6-,





tual necessities for the well rounded

development of the boy and girl of

the farm.‘





The universal, though short-sighted

objection to play is that it interferes

with work. It does. And. so, by the

way, does sleep. We may as well make

up our minds that sleep and play are





two of. the things for which work must ‘





at intervals be set aside. From the

standpoint of‘mere existence, play is

no such essential as sleep, but for‘the

program of a sane life the comparison

between the two is amply justified.

When play is definitely recognized

as a necessity for farm children as

well as city children; for farm moth-

ersand fathers as well as city mothers

and fathers; when regular seasons of

recreation are provided for all ages





and sexes according to their tastes '_

and needs, ~ when this is no longer 5





done as something requiring an apol-





ogy, but as a matter that is wholly”

for the good of the'ortler; you will

hear much less about the migration ’.

EANWHILE a different scene

was taking place in the Masters’

home. A little group of people





. ,‘weie sitting in the pa1lor discussing

.’ the sale, or proposed sale, of a portion





of the Masters’ farm. Judge Slade had





‘7- been. called in to draw up the papers





and was seated at a little table in the-

corner, Writing. The rest oi the gioup





‘ comprised Mrs. Masteis and Marion,

'the black— clothed stranger who had in-





troduced himself as Mr. Montmorancy,

J. P. and John Welling, who “had just

happened in.” Hiram was seated in

the center of the group and listening

to Welling’s urgings.



“I think you’re doin’ right, Pa,” he

was saying. “It’s a good price, most

twice what you could get, fer it for

farming, and this feller says he wants

it for a trout farm an’s willing to pay

the price. Helen and me are leaving

soon, now, fer the city, and like’s not

another tenant might turn the stock

into that lot and the’d get sick like

they done that other time.’



It was then that Marion did a sur-

prising thing, surprising, at least, to

Hiram, and perhaps to herself, though

for the last few days she had been

thinking deeply and Miss Abigail’s

visit had given her still more l’dod for

thought.



She had seen the huit look come

into Masters eyes at the mention of

his own daughter, and, too, with a

woman's intuition had sensed a some-

thing in the looks she had surprised

between the stranger and Masters’

son—inlaw. Crossing the room she laid

her hand upon Hiram’s shoulder and

bending. whispered:



“Are you sure, Daddy, dear, that you

ought to sell? Is the land as worth-

less as you think?”



Hiram started, caught her softened

expression and, for a moment the hot

tears surged up into the kindly old

eyes, the lips trembled and Hiram

looked away.



“I didn’t know, only I’m afraid from

the way this man acts that there is

more to this than he cares to have

you know,” she continued.



Then Hiram looked up at her again,

the fine old eyes of him looking

straight. into hers, and for a moment

they read each other’s searchingly.



“Marion, girl,” he said, SO low that

the others could not hear. “Marion,

girl, I’d give the whole farm and, yes,

all the rest with it, just to keep and

hold the respect of you and your moth-

er, and to give you two happiness, but

[don’t worry, girl; the field’s not worth

halt” what he’s payin’, as you’ve heard

me‘tell him.”



As Judge Slade finished the papers

and Mr. and Mrs. Masters were signa

ing the deed, Edward. Worthington





sauntered in and Marion, out of the 1





corner of her eye, say him slip a pack—

age into Mr. Montmorancy’s band, and

a knowing look pass between them.



The papers were signed at last and,

in paying for them Mr. Montmorancy

J. P., took the money from a bundle

surprisingly like the one Marion had

seen Worthington pass to him. Then,

picking up his hat he backed out of

the room, bowing as he went.



He had scarce left when there was a

fellow is an cement and they dug and ‘111 the year that 101111111111, grass and





took samples down by the creek. " .

“If he’s an expert he did know bet-

ter, ” continued Hiram, “and I wouidn’t





sod tomed over the sawdust piles, and





bushes. and undergrowth sprang up

but,’ until this day, the oil continues





be surprised if the money he had in to seep down into the creek spoiling





vested belonged to someone else."



As he said this Worthington scowled

and Welling looked nervously about.



“It’s like this, folks,” Hiram went

on. “Some thirty years ago there used

to be an old mill on that lot, but after

the most of the timber was cut out of

this section and the farms cleared, the

mill was abandoned, the machinery





FRIEND“





By Verne H. Church





In trav'ling o'er this globe of Earth;

In taking stock of all \

That gives to life a sincere worth;

I surely can recall

No greater, sweeter happiness,

Enduring to the end;

I’m sure there’s none, you need not

guess; '

It is an old-time friend.





lf_ it be wealth you’re seeking here,

Or honor, place or name;



There may be none to intrefere,

.In making good your aim;



But sure I am that you will find

t’s better .to unbend;



Be good, be true, sincere, and kind

To each and every friend.





We seek to be amused by change,

And tire of common place; _



We climb the hills and ride the range,

And hope to win the race;



And oft forget to realize

On whom we most depend,



And that the real successful ties

Are those with each old friend.





So let me hope to live my life,

In such a way that I,



In midst of sorrows, joy or strife,

Will not forget to try



To play the game both fair and square,

And find some time“ to spend



In giving kind and thoughtful care

To each who’d be my friend.





 





 





rush of footsteps on the porch and

Harold Stoddard burst into the room.

Hat, gone, hair disheveled and clothes

begrimed with mud, he presented a

startling appearance.



“Mr. Masters,” he shouted, throwing

himself into a chair. “Don’t sell that

field.” ~ . - ’



“It’s sold, Harold, why?” Marion

asked quickly, while the others receiv-

ed his, appearance With varied emo-

tions.



“They’ve found oil them, the crooks,

and they are trying to cheat you out

of it.”



All present gasped with real or pre-

tended astonishment, except Hiram,

who chuckled audibly. ,



“Don’ git excited, folks,” Hiram

s id. “ ‘on’t git excited. I’m sorry if

fiat poor feller fooled himself, but I

don’t think he did. I think he knowed

that it wern’t oil as well as I did.”

This he said eyeing his son-in-law and



Worthington narrowly. “You see, it

was like thiS—”



‘But—J’ interrupted Harold,

building and great heaps of sawdust,

which is about all the soil there is

made of anyway.



“Well, Doc, your father,” turning to

Harold, “and me Were young then and

looking for a way to, make ourselves

famous and rich. ‘ Doc thought of this

scheme of buying the old mill 'and

using it fer a factory to distill cedar

oil, there was lots of cedars around,

and he’d read somewhere of how much

money there was in the business



“Well, we started the thing a— going,

put in oven and truck and distilled oil

by the barrel. We had one side of the

shack piled high With the stuff and

Doc had gone to the city to find a

market for it, when along came a cy-

clone and wrecked "the.whole works,

spilling the oil into the sawdust and

smashing the building to splinters.





Doc had found out anyway that we.





couldn’t sell the stuff for enough to

pay us to rebuild, so we sold the ov-

ens, and marked the whole thing down

on the experience side of the ledger.

John WGHing 8 face had gone white.

and Worthington’ s flaked scarlet.



“You m,” said John, “that it isn’t

that you knowed ~. it all‘ the

time?” ‘ 4 ‘



"Some swindler, I’ll say," muttered

Worthington. “So- you deliberately

swindled oui friend.” . -



“Didn’t know he was your friend.

Anyhow, I don’t believe he was much

swindled, guess you’ll have to look

further for the suckers.”



With a snarl Worthington turned to

S~toddard,‘“Weil, little crusader!" he

sneered, “So your thrilling last hour

rescue fell flat, didn't it?”



Just then the ’phone rang. It was

from Judge Slade who had hastened

away upon hearing Harold’s news,





without waiting to hear snore. Marion

answered it, then turning said:

“Judge Slade says that Mr. Mont-





merancy went from here right to the

bank where he had already made an

rangements to mortgage that lot. He

bmrowed two thousand on it and left

on the fast train.” '



‘With a muttered curse Worthington

slammed out of the house closely fol-

.lowed by Welling.

CHAPTER XI.





lIA'I‘ evening John Welling return-

ed. “Say, pa,” he began, “I don’t





know but what Helen and me had bet—g





ter stay on the farm after all. ~ It’d be





hard fe1 you to find a new tenant and .





I ain ’t so all- fired keen about city life,

neither.” ’



“How much did you have in the oil

scheme ?” Masters asked.





“Why, me? Why, pa, I didn’t have“





nothing—~—”



“Don’t lie to me,” interrupted Mas-

ters. “I knew ail the time you weie

in on it. How much?‘ ’Well, when you

find out let me know and I’ll write you

a check for the amount, but I’ve al-

ready made other aiiangements about

the farm. ” '



After Welling had left- M1s. Masters

said, “Hiram, aren’t, you a little hard

on John? You’ll'need someone on the

farm and John, I hear, is a good farin-

er, and you must think of Helen.”



“Yes, John's a good farmer, Sarah,

but he and Helen must both 'learn

their lesson. I' won’t see them suffer

but it’s having it too soft that’s come

mighty nigh ruining both 0' -,them and

besides, Sarah ” he continued, “I have

the beginning of the, Civil War it was

not always wise to ask questions of

My little girl was exposed to,the

whooping cough recently. Is there

any way by which it can be headed

oft? What do you think of vaccinating

against it?—H. J. L.





Vaccination against the whooping

cough is not sufl‘iciently reliable yet, to

be depended upon. Keep the little girl

where you can watch her, and be par-

ticular to see that she is not exposed





to colds. This does not mean that you

should keep her cooped up in the

house. On the contrary, she will do





better by being out in all decent

weather. But watch for the develop-

ment of any cough, and be particular

tokeep her from infecting others. Per-

haps she will not have the disease. If"

she does, be sure to get the best med-

- ical attention possible, for whooping

cough is a. dangerous disease. There

is a stage when fever exists and dur-

ing this the child should be kept in

bed. Once this is past, however, she

may be up and out of doors, except-

ing in really inclement weather, and

is much better for the fresh air. If

she vomits you must take great care

RHEUMATISM.





My mother is rheumatic and has

been so,for a number of years.

leamed a few years ago that this com-

plaint was often the result of poisons

that got into the system from having

a lot of diseased old teeth. She had

all of them pulled and she did get a

lot better. Lately she is much worse

again. Is it likely that any treatment

will do her any real good ?——-U. R.



I think she should not give up.

There are many other points of focal

infection besides the teeth. Often old,

decaying scraps of tonsil material are

making trouble. Purulent sinuses ol’

the nose and other parts often produce

infection. The principle is exactly the

same as with the diseased teeth. In

old chronic cases that have existed for

several years there may be many pains

persisting after all points of infection}

are removed. These pains can be}

greatly relieved by treatment directed;

to improving the circulation through;

the joints. Many doctors have baking

THE CGNSOUDATED SCHOOL.

N the January-27; 1923, issue of

ITh‘e Michigan Farmer, I saw an

article by K. E. 0., entitled, “Dis-

trict vs. Consolidated Schools.”



Some of the statements in this arti-

cleare profound untruths, some are

exaggerated, and others picture the

conditions as they are.



It is not true that_after 1924 every

teacher in Michigan must have a life



. certificate. After September 1, 1925,

no certificate will be granted to any

person, who has not completed one

year of professional training in ad-

vance of a four-year high school

course; and no second or third grade

certificate can be renewed, unless the

applicant has completed twelve weeks’



‘ professional, training :since previdus

certificate was received. 'It takes two

years of work in .a‘ nomial school. in



,Michigan. to. obtain 'a .life certificate.



.Proof to the superintendent of public



- instruction of five years of successful

xteaching prior to the passage of this

'law may be'an exemption to the above

requirements. ‘ '



The best students in our high

schools do not always come from dis-

‘ trict schools. Whether they do or not

depends largely u’pOn the capacity of‘

the individual student, his or her ef-

.fort and time placed upon school work

and the training received from former

' teachers. It is anotable fact that city,

graded and consolidated schools em-

ploy teachers with higher qualifica-

‘ ~ti0ns than the average district‘School;

‘ It was said-that many of-Our great

men were born on farms and the writ-

er “assumed’_’; that they attended the

all, that this is one of the greatesti

deficiencies of our district system.

but there are the conditions: As long,

as high school superintehdents, princi-

expect to get these people to finance

$1,500 less that what they are now re—»

In some of our counties it is difficult

to get candidates for the office on ac

count of the fact that the county com-

missioner must not only have certain

educational qualifications and execus

tive ability: but "he is also one of the

hardest worked and poorest paid coun-

ty officials. The case has been known

where it was almost impossible to ob-

tain anyone to accept the office by ap-

pointment.

' By Nelle





T is nOt the purpose of this article

to teach you to "entertain your

child, but rather to tell you how to

teach your child to entertain himself.

His older brothers and sisters are at

school and it is often a problem to

find some ' clean and healthy amuse-

ments for the little tot. ' L



I do not agree with many mothers

Who think their child should be taught

to be a paragon of neatness and cleam

liness. While the rudiments of order

and tidiness must be impressed 0n the

plastic minds of our children, we can

not expect them to be contented and

happy if never allowed to indulge in





. any of the amusements dear to the





hearts of the little folks, such as

blowing soap bubbles or cutting pa-

pers. Of course, it- makes mothers

more work but it does not make a dis-

agreeable litter to sweet up and eith-

er amusement is clean- They both

help to develop the child’s imagina-

tion and love of creation, that is a.

natural trait in any normal child.



We save all the scraps of wrapping

paper and now that the older children

are in school, our little tot spends

many happy hours making scrap

books. He cuts the paper the right

size and with twine .and darning

needle, sews the sheets together. In

these books he pastes bright pictures

which he cuts~from seed catalogs or

magazines. After the little fellow be-

comes tired'of this amusement, he is

told that it is now time, to gather up

the .scrap papers. He thinks he is

Some children. will enjoy [half an

hour’s play each day for the entire

winter, with a. box, of toothpicks. I

would .not advise this, however. if the

child can not be taught to' gather up

the toothpicks after playing with'them

each .time. ,Farms may be laid out,

fences builtgand even a house and

barn added by the use of these little





'sticks. If you happen to have dye .mix-





ed for some. other purpose and will dip

a few of the toothpicks “in the dye

fluid, it will add wonderfully to the‘ at-

tractiveness Of them for the children’s

playthings, as it is natural for chil-





dren to love bright objects.





Mother’s cléthespins may also be

used in- the same Way. If the fences

and buildings are made of these ahd

cows and horses furnished in the form

of empty spools, the child’s enjoyment

canhardly be over-estimated.



A little girl is never so happy as

when “helping mother,” even though

her help is a. bother. My mother used

to give me a bit of her bread dough

whenever she baked and I was allowed

to care for the dough and then make

it out into a tiny loaf when she made

her‘s out, and when it was baked it

was my bread for supper. I know it

was a great help to me in making me

obseivant of the methods used in.

housework, and I was more willing to

help mother when I was old enough 'to

really be of service.

six years ago last fall. I have a

family of eight to cook for, mostly

boys, and honestly, I don’t know how





. I would manage without, it. I bake





twice a week, making seven loaves

and two pans of plain buns each time.

to tell his mother. But, however easy

it might have seemed to get out of the

scrape without blame, he told all.





George Was just a lad of sixteen

when he surveyed 11 piece of swamp

and wooded land. This should help to

make one have ambitions. “Was it an

easy piece of work?” you may ask.

Indeed it was not. To think of this

always helps me when I feel like giv-

ing up when I have a task I do not





. like.





There are many instances given in

histories, readers, (magazines and





‘ books of all sorts showing his bravery





and winning him the title of the

“Father of His Country.” He was a

gentleman at all times,_ as the presi-

dent ot‘ this or any other country

should be. ‘



Would Washington give up if he

didn‘t like his job, or if the found it

hard? No, indeed, he did not, but

stuck to it and did his very best. That

is why he became president at that

time, when the country needed every-

thing He also was a farmer and a

sportsman, overseeing his large farm

which stretched ten miles along the

river. He was an inventor, making

his own tools. Such was our first

president, born February 22, 1732, in

Virginia.

ousr BATH i’N WINTER.





 





EAVES make light scratching ma-

». .terial better than straw, and it is

surprising how large a quantity of dry

leaves can be stored into a couple of

barrels or a. large box.



Some farmers save dry earth for

their hens’ winter ' dust bath. This

is work that does not take much time

and it is certain that hens need a

chance .to dust themselves fully as

much in winter as in summer. There

was a time when farmers didn’t take

much stock 'in the Winter dust bath,





5 and one winter when the dust box Was





empty for quite a. while, and was filled

again with loose dirt found in a shed

during a warm spell, the way in which

those hens tumbledover one another





plumage and deep rculid bodies. 2 Dis-





locate the ‘necks of‘the poor chicks"

and remove the menace to :the flock.

It pays to keep’aon'culling. as the

chicks grow, and ' not have a cull or

two always present to spoil the looks

of the remainder of the flock. ’



In artificial brooding do not crowd

the chicks and 300 to the broader is

safer than using larger flocks. Profes-

sor Kilpatrick believes chicks should

be, started on slow protein feed. It

should also be low in fiber content but '

high in bone phosphates. It must con-

tain vitamines.



The digestive apparatus of the -baby

chick is very delicate and too much

fiber or protein may clog the'system.

In raising chicks it is first necessary

to build a good frame and the bone-





 





 





wanting'to roll in the dirt at once,

opened our eyes to their needs in this

respect. They were simply wild to get

into dirt and make it fly. Some say

that hens will not use this dust bath

in Winter after it is provided, but ex-

perience taught differently.



It is said that coal or wood ashes

placed in a dust box will cause scaly

leg. This is a mistake, but no doubt

the dirt is bett’er than ashes for a dust

bath—W. E. McMullen.





 





CARE or BABY CHICKS.





N the absence of Professor Graham,

of Guelph, Ontario, ProfeSSOr Kil-

patrick, a director of the International





trymen at the Round-up some good

pointers on chick raising. He finds

that the three essentials to success in

raising poultry are a good chick, a

good brooderand a good ration. The

good chick is pure-bred and bred for a

definite purpose. Production should

come first, plus all the standard quali-

ties that can be obtained. The largest

sales. of breeding stock in the "future

will be made by the breeders who com-

bine production andstandard qualities.

“The good egg for hatching should

have size, and eggs weighing about

twenty-seven ounces to the dozen are

recommended for the productiou of

large chicks. Chicks from hens’ eggs

are the best as the pullets lack ma-

turity. Professor Kllpatrlck states he

would rather have two~ chicks from

hens’ eggs than three from pullets’

eggs. ' p ‘ .



He finds that too high temperature

is sometimes used in artificial incuba—

tion in order to bring 'the- chicks out

on time. It should .not be necessary

toluse a temperature 013.105 degrees

,to get "them, out.

making material comes from bran,

bone meal and milk. In Wisconsin a‘.

white corn ration did not prove its

good as one of yellow corn. The





breeding stock'on white corn produced '





chicks of reduced vigor. Canned to-

matoes have been found useful to pro-

vide the vitamines which seem to be

lacking in white corn. Dry feeding

saves time in raising chicks but "a.

being forced to'broiler size.





 





CAPON MARKETING.





OULTRY raisers who produce ca-

pons for, market should use judg—

ment as to. the breed of chickens used

for this purpose. Leghorns and simi-

lar small breeds, which are essentially

egg layers, should not. be used, as they

do not sell for enough advanCe over

the price of spring roosters to make it

a paying proposition. ‘

‘ Capons produced from Plymouth

Rocks fetch the highest price and they

take on enough weight to pay for the

feeding. Rhode Island-Reds are also

good (for :this purpose, in fact, any

large‘sized breeds are the best. .

When consumers buy [capons they





generally want birds which will weigh '





from seven pounds up. Leghorn ca-

pons do not reach'this weight and they

consume as much feed as the larger

birds. ‘ 5



Heavy capons sell from four to sev—

en cents per pound .over the price of





, Spring roosters, while as before men-





tioned, the Leghorn capons bring

about the same price

By S. P.





QUESTION .much discussed by

dairymen everywhere, is that of

buying feed. One man will tell

you it does not pay; another will say

hecan afford to buy some grain, like

cottonseed meal or oil meal, but that

he cannot buy other grains.

There are a great many herds of

what we will, call average cows that

will not pay to buy feed for. The av-

erage cow gives less than 4,000 pounds

of milk, and I find the cost of keeping

a cow close to $100 per year; so, from

a fat-producing standpoint, the aver-

age cow is _a losing proposition.



I should like to offer in evidence the





_ work of a twelvescow herd that aver-





ages 360 pounds of fat per cow for

the year. These herds are not very

plentiful, it is true, just twenty per

cent of the herds in our association

made that figure last. year, but it

The herd of B. N. Case and Dr.

Stiles was assembled in 1919 and was

composed of such cows as appealed to

Mr. Case, who, while he was raised on

the farm, had never made a particular

study of the cow, end of the business.

Sixteen head were bought, and in a

year they were reduced to ten through

various causes. In the fall of 1920

Mr. Case and Dr. Stiles went to the

National Dairy Show and were so im-

pressed with the showing made by the

Jerseys that it was decided to stick to

that breed. On coming home, they

visited a pure-bred herd and bought

four bred heifers and a half interest

in a good bull. In 1921, Mr. Case join-'

ed the cow-testing associatiOn. From

that time to the present covers a pe-

riod of. nineteen months, of which I

write. ‘ V '



For instance, in February, 1921, the

returns for each dollar expended in

feed was $2.00. In March it was $1.99.

Then a.change was made in the ra-

tion, and',’with spring weather coming

on, [the returns went to $2.36; and

there was an upward tendency for the

balance of the year, so that the aver-

age returns for each’ dollar spent ,for

feed for the entire year were $2.67. It,





i is my observation'that we must sa~





cure a return of about $2.00 for Beach

dollar's worth of feed to come out;lso'





if we "get $2.67 _ we have really. made ‘ V ~

sold as unprofitable and three were

bought. » , _



For the present year Mr. Case has

shown a steady improvement in his

returns until at this time he has reach-

ed $3.13. This is the high point when

off grass. and gives rise to the state

ment of selling hay at $62 per ton. It

also Shows oats to be worth $1.00 per

bushel and corn $1.87.



“How does he do it?”, is asked very

frequently, and I‘might make a general

statement that he watches his cows,

and that “includes the lookout,” as the

sailors say. He keeps in touch with

the market prices of various feeds and

his production and the condition of his

stock governs his buying, "and when

the tester. comes these things are talk-

ed over and it is often a late houn

before this shop .question is closed.

Not only are feeding questions dis-





\





cussed, but the larger question of farm

management and future policy.



Here Mrs. Case proves herself a val-

uable partner.

rience as 'a school teacher make her

quick at getting the gist of a situation,





and it is not unusual for her to be





firts insolving a problem.



It does one good to see such team

work as this. It cannot help but bring

success. Ami I often think of the lines

of Whittier: . . ,

hire a skilled butter-maker and pro-

duce a large quantity of high-quality

butter. Even if the smaller farmer’s

butter was gathered up through the

local village store and the Danish ex-





. porter brought it on the English mar-





kets, it was not a large shipment'of a

uniform grade, but a shipment of

small batches of butter, oath. batch

coming from an individual farm, some

good and some bad. In fact, the'but-

ter marketed by the smaller farmer

brought about twenty-five. per cent

less than that marketed at this time





‘ by the large estate producers.





Then came the development of the

cooperative creamerie's—the first real

step in the direction of agricultural





situation, the need of standardized,





'high-quality dairy products prompted





the small farmers in 1882 to form the

first cooperative creamery. Establish-

ed on a sound economic basis, its suc—

cess and popularity soon spread to all

sections in the little kingdom. It pro—

vided a basis for the rational handling

of milk from several hundred cows

kept on a hundred or more difierent

farms. Already in the nineties a. uni-

form grade of high quality butter was

manufactured in the c o o p e r a t i v e

creamery which even surpassed the

butter production on the large estate-

farms with two or. three hundred

cows.



I was further impressed With the sig-

nificance of this movement when i

found that the larger estate farmers

have now joined the cooperative cream-

ery. Today, ninety per cent of the t0-

Ita'l milk production in Denmark is de-

livered to the coOperative creamery,

which. number has reached about 1.400.

Thus cooperative butter manufacture,

together with a. study of the needs of





high quality product, and enough of it

to warrant proper merchandising of

the product, is responsible in no small

measure for the enviable position

which Denmark occupies in the dairy

world.





But cooperative effort in Denmarki—_

is not 00nfined to the dairy industry.

More than eighty-five per cent of thei—*

bacon is slaughtered at cooperative

bacon factories. The cooperative egg

exporting association does a large bus-

iness and is comprised of 550 auxiliary

units.



The strength of the cooperative

work in Denmark lies in the fact that

it is built from the ground up. That

sounds academic, the necessity for it





qis being constantly urged upon. the





farmers here in' the United States.

Nevertheless, the stxength of the local

societies is responsible for the success

of the federated effort. But the rural

economy is different in Demhark than

in this country. Education and rural

culture is the fundamental basis on

which this system of rational farming

and its cooperative features rest.





The people’s high schools; an adult

university for fartners’ sons and

daughters, which have been character-

ized by renowned educators as “The

Schools that Made OveI a Nation,”

ihave played an important part in

building this rural education and cul-

ture. There are about seventy of

these and the farmers sons between





years attend them and more than

ninety per cent of the leaders in co-

operative Societies have at one time

attended these schdols.

DE LAVAL

CREAM SEPARATOR

PRICES





A word about De Laval Cream Separator prices to

prospective 1923 purchasers 1s pertinent at this time.





De Laval prices were reduced last year to practi-

cally the pre- war level, allowing for increased capacity

and other improvements made meanwhile.





This reduction was made In anticipation of a fur-

ther reduction In labor and material costs. The reverse

has happened. Labor and material costs are going up

rather than down.





If they continue to do so De Laval prices will have

to be advanced. They are now too low. The economics

possible through greatly increased production can

alone permit of their remaining so.





In any event, De Laval prices cannot be re-

duced. The may easily have to be advanced at

any time. be safe thing to do is to buy now

and take no chances.





This Is the more so by reason of the fact that 1923

De Laval machines are even better than ever before,

that dairying was never more profitable, and that no

one having use for a cream separator could ever less

afferd to be without the best or to continue the use of

an inferior or half-worn-out machine.

write us direct at the nearest address given below?

Agriculture at Marquette. He attrib-

utes- these outbreaks to the careless

use of garbage from hotels and other





~places or the careless handling of ma-





nure in cars in transit. The remedy,

says Dr. Helicon, is the double immu-

nization Of bogs, and keeping them so.





. The cost of. this in comparison with, k





the losses due .to cholera Is very

small. he says. He estimates the an-

nual loss from this cause to be fifty

out of every one thousand hogs raised.

3,1923 WOOL POOL PLANS.





[N formulating plans for its 1923 pool



the Michigan State Farm Bureau

Wool Department has kept foremost

in mind the necessity of reducing the

overhead expense, or handling charge.

As a step in this direction it has there-

fore been decided to have ‘all wools

graded at a central warehouse at Lan-

sing instead of grading at local as-

‘sembling stations, as was done last

year. However, a. sworn weighmaster

will accept wools at the local assemb-

ling stations on (1. -es to be announced

later and will give on date of pooling

a receipt entitling the grower to the

usual cash advance.





Indications are that the 1923 pool V»





will be considerably larger than the

one in 1922. Preparations are being

made to handle well over a million

pounds. This being the case, there is

every indication that the handling

charges will be considerably reduced.

Early returns were made in 1922 and

indications are that those who stood

by the pool during the past year profit-

ed thereby and will be loyal boosters

this season.



Wool markets are in a. very healthy

condition at the present time and

while considerable effort has been put-

forth to cdntract wool on the sheep’s

back. very few of the wool growers

have consented to this. Western "clips

which, during the past year were sold

at forty cents are being held as high

as sixty cents this season



Wool growers shearing early and

desiring to place their wool in the

pool will be furnished wool bags upon

request to the Farm Bureau Wool De-

partment and they can ship their wool

direct to Lansing any time after March

1. Growers anticipating poO‘ling at the

local assembling stations and desiring





to sack their wool at time of shearing ‘





will be furnished sacks upon request.

It is with no small satiéfactiOn that





these in chargevof the 1923 11001 an-





nounce that they have just closed a.

contract with Squire Robinson to have

charge of all the grading. Mr. Robin-





son has held this position with all the“

previous pools and has won the confl- ,





dence ’of the woolen mil-ls His grad-

ing is cecepted without argument.

The cOOperatIOn of every‘ wool grow-





or in the state or Michigan is needed '

in order to make the 1923 pool one,

the hog sales.

made the ”fireside 100k more attrac-

result was marked bya very light at-

tendance. Several sales have been

postponed but with a small group of

people, it- could hardly be called a

Vcrowd- This sale went through with-

out a hitch. . ~

WHEAT





The wheat market remains a puz-

zling affair owing to the predomin—

ance of speculative operations over

normal influences. Since these opera-

tions have been mostly on the buying

side they probably maintained a high—

er level of values in the last two

months than would have been the case

otherwise, but they make the future

course of prices highly uncertain as

there is no telling what speculative

cliques will do or when their tactics

will change.



Taken the world over, the wheat

market has a rather bearish tinge and

has had for the last- eight or ten

weeks. The world’s available supply

in commercial channels is much

larger than last year and is of near

record size for the corresponding peri—

od. In the United States there is

more or less ongestion at eastern



. lake ports incl ding some Canadian

wheat because of the slack demand

for export. \Vith no sign Of scarcity



, anywhere and their finances crippled,

European countries are buying only

for immediate needs.





CORN





_ The falling Off in Argentine exports

. of ‘corn and the resumption of buying

,in the United States were reflected

: in the largest. clearances from Atlantic

and Gulf ports last week since the

middle Of November. The Argentine

" crop has been helped by rains recent-

“ 1y but Argentine prices remain higher

abroad than for American corn. vDo-

Vmestic demand is fairly good with

.. feeders and _industries_ out-bidding

. terminals in some sections. Primary

receipts have deeclined and the heavy

winter movement is believed to be

' over although a moderate increase 3

- expected in the next two weeks;





‘ ‘ OATS

Linseed meal and hominy feed .. are

slightly lower but bran and middlings.

are the highest of the‘season .with

demand mostly for prompt shipment.

Wheat feeds for future shipment are

quoted at sharp discounts probablybe-

cause of the approaching rise of grass.





HAY.





Continued light receipts and active

demand are holding hay ‘prices firm

with slight advances at a few points.

Low grades especially are‘ moving

more freely. ’Bad roads are keeping

down country lOadings. Receipts of

alfalfa have increased in the south-

west and prices have weakened. '





BUTTER





Butter’ prices retained the recent ad—

vance throughout the past week. Pro—

duction has been curtailed by severe

weather as shown by reports from

.creameries and some of the butter

shipped has been delayed in transit.

The effect was not as large as ex-

pected, however, and supplies on all

markets were ample to take care of

the demand. An “oversold” market

for February delivery has been re-

sponsible for high prices upon central- .

ized carlots at Chicago putting that

market out of line with eastern points.

Dealers who sold “short” have been

unable to obtain enough butter to fill

contracts owing to reduced production

and smaller receipts. This influence

will pass at the end Of the month.



’ Prices on‘92 score fresh butter were:



Chicago, 521/20; New York, 52%0.

In Detroit fresh. creamery 'in tubs

sells for 50@51c.





POULTRY AND EGGS





The advance in egg prices as a re-

sult of cold weather since February

5 has been well maintained although

receipts for the month have been





 





 





heavier than in’ February laid: yea

Storage eggs, havepassed into history.

Prices are apt to'hold fairly Well until

productionincreases again as a result.

Of warmer weather but they‘are pro--.

«bably 8 to 10 cents above'a basis that-

will attractqextensive storage buying.

Receipts of” dressed poultry in Feb-





ruary at the four markets were about 7, '





50 per cent heavier than in that month!

last year so that but little reduction

has been made in storage stocks

whereas last year they declined about.

POTATOES





Much lighter shipments from pro-

ducing sectiOns in the last ten days

as a. result of cold weather'have per-

mitted potato prices to advance. ' Lead-

ing city markets have gained 5 to 15

cents but prices still are abnormale

low. Northern sacked round whites

are quoted at 90 cents to $1.25 per

100 pounds in midwestern markets and

60 tO 75 cents f. O. b. shipping points.

Eastern cities and eastern producing

points quote much higher prices than

in the middlewest where the exces-

sive storage stocks are mostly located.

DETROITCITY MARKET





. :The weather has kept much produce

off of the market. Apples, poultry and

veal have been scarce. 'But eggs, on-

ions and hogs seem to "be in slow de

mand. Potatoes were in a little bet-

ter demand and brought slightly bet-

ter prices. Apples were bringing $1@ '

GRAND RAPIDS





The bean market was unsettled in

Grand Rapids, and western Michigan

early this week as a result of the re-

stricted demand from wholesale gro-

cery and cannery sOurces. Bids

producers ranged from $7.25 to $7.50

cwt. as compared with $7.75@$8 a.

week ago. There is .a feeling that

Ajobbers are maneuvering .to get con-

trol Of the crop now in the hands of

growers‘as the statistical position of

the market hardly warrants a break

at this time. The market on eggs

also was slightly unsettled due to

mild, weather but supplies from local

sources were only sufficient to meet

the demand. Hatcheries are cutting

heaVily into the western Michigan pro-~

duction. Produce dealers here have

revised their opinions about, spring

egg prices and: instea of-April and

May eggs selling at 15 cents a dozen

as they predicted earlier in the year,

they now say they would not be sur-

prised tO see them,around_20@22c.

Packers may put‘away 12,000,000 cases

this year as compared with 10,000,000

last year. ‘ ' . . '





DECLINE m HOGSMTO OOME





m





 





Although the country still has many

hogs, the" spring decline in receipts is

quite certain to occur in the next six

weeks and bring higher prices with it.

Domestic demand is not likely to con-

tract and clearances for export con-

tinue to exceed those of last year.

The reported dullness'in- foreign trade

seems to be, giving way ‘to more active

buying especially of lard. ’
