CURRENT COMMENT





 





 





 





The more interest we give to our

work, the less interest it is likely that





we will have to pay for borrowed

money.

Many make fortunes with “confi-





dence games" because others put their

confidence in the wrong place.





Before we know it we will be com-

plaining about hot weather.





In this backward spring, doing the

right thing at the right time is what

counts.





Promises of easy money are so al

luring that we usually pay our hard-

earned money for them. And all we

get is promises.





’l‘h’e farmer’s success is going to de-

pend upon the business he gets. If he

waits for the buyer to look him up.

or his neighbors to tell everybody

about his goods, he is expecting too

much of human nature, and it will be

a long time before his sales will reach

any noticeable volume.





Cooperation has succeeded because

it eliminates the high costs and

wastes of competitive selling, the eco-

nomic control of organization by stock

owners‘hip and the claims of capital

101' all the profits Basically, it is effi-

cient, economical, just, and demoCrat-

ic. It is an improvement over old

methods and is, therefore, an assured

factor in our economic life.

X-GOVERNOR FRED M. WAR~

NER died on April 17, at Orlan~





do; Florida. where he went about-





twio months before his death in an

effort to'r'ecove'r his health, which had

. been failing for the paSt two years.

‘ .He was buried at Farmingiton on April

20, the funeral at his home being at-





. tended by a- large heat of‘iriendsfrom”





all parts ofi the state, as wellian his

neighbors and

' every walk of life. No higher tribute

affairs and won for him a large host

of friends among the common people

of the state, as evidenced by the fact

thathe was the only man ever three

times elected governm- of the state, the

last time against bitter political oppo-

sition.



‘Fred Warner, as he was always call-

ed by the thousands who knew him

personally, was actively interested in





agriculture, owning and operating a





farm at Farmington at the time of his

death, and for many years developing

and operating a large farm-in Huron

county. He was actively interested in





the dairy business during his entire





business life, both as a producer and

manufacturer of dairy products, and

was instrumental in the paSsage and

enforcement of many laws of benefit

to the industry in this state. His most

recent public service to the industry





\





 





was as a member of the Detroit Area

Milk Commission, which operated to

regulate prices in the Detroit market

milk area duringthe post war period.



As a public servant .and as a man

among .men, Fred Warner had no peer

in his home town, his home county or

his home state. Cut off by death at

the age of fifty-eight years, his accom-

plishments stand as an enviable rec-

ord. His death will be mourned by

an except‘onally wide circle of

friends, as well as his immediate .fam‘

ily. He is survived by his! wife, two

sons and two daughters, all residents

of his home county.

times shall return to the fields.



A lower production of feed will in-

evitably result from the withdrawal of

men by the thousands from the chan-

nels of food production. The entry of

these same thousands into city indus-

tries can not help but increase the de-

mand for food products.





Let us hope that the prosperous

conditions now prevalent may remain

in the cities so that they can buy lib

it cannot take long forL supply [and de—

from a liability into an asset.

The court held that future manipu-

Fu1ther, the court held that manip-

Seed Selection.



The condition of the seed corn which

has been stored all winter should now

be definitely and accurately known.

Every car should" be given a thorough

examination and all ears which show

any visible signs of mold or disease

should be throwu out at once. Don’t

take any chances. It may grow, but

we don’t want'any weak, sickly plants.

We want strong, vigorous plants capa-

ble of producing good-sized ears.



Planting seed of doubtful germina-

tion is a serious handicap. There is

no possibility of making a bull's-eye

because the aim is too—low. Weak

plants and a poor stand destroy all

chances of getting maximum results

from the available supply of plant

Poor seed corn, in actual practice,

has the effect of causing vacant hills

other hills. This reduces the quality

greatest faults in the potato crop,

from the marketing standpoint, this

season. This is a trouble which is but

little affected by sorting and grading;

for, where it is prevalent, it affects

large and small tubers alike. Early

planting on properly prepared soil,

however, eliminates almost all ofthis

trouble. In sections Where planting

est tubers are generally found to be

Ill-shaped and diseased potatoes



can, in most cases, be traced to in-

Another cause of poor market qual-

thing the amateur will find is that he





cannot tell what Del cent an ear would





ge1minate



That is why it is necessary to plant

twenty-five -to forty useless kernels,

and then only get an irregular stand.

Ears having kernels with weak germi-

nation are about as undesirable as

cars with dead kernels because these

weak kernels only produce stunted

plants at best.



It requires some study and experi-

ence to intelligently read germination

tests. Even under exactly the same

moisture and temperature conditions

the kernels from one car may germi-

nate quicker than kernels from an:

other





penetration of the moisture through

the seed coat.

Experience in running individual





ear germination tests should aid one

in telling whether an ear is likely to

germinate strong. doubtful or zero

plants. One soon discovers that two

ears may look to be almost identical

and yet one will germinate one hun-

dred per cent and the other perhaps

less than seventy per cent.

Knowing the germination of. one’s

seed corn is too important an item

to be overlooked. “'0 can’t afford to

FARM MORTGAGES.





HE Census bureau has compiled.



for the first time, estimates of

the farm mortgage dcbt of the coun-

try. The figures indicate that about

one~lentl1 of the value of all the farm

lands and buildings in the country are

owed on mortgage debts. The farm

mortgage debt of the lfnited States is

$7, 857 700, 000 while the value of all

the laim lands and buildings is $66,-

316,002602. lowa. had far more mort-

gages on its farm property than any

other state. its total aggregated about

one-seventh of the entire amount.

Michigan has less than one-half as

much mortgageed farm property as

Wisconsin and Illinois, but more than

Ohio and Indiana. K'





machinery should either be operated

slowly enough to take them out of the

class of paring machines or be dis-

carded altogether.



Poor Storage Conditions.



A potato is a living, breathing

thing, and whether the tubers are to

be used for seed or food, they should

be kept under normal living conditions.

Two of the first considerations in stor-

age are proper temperature and sum-

cient ventilation. Potatoes which are

permitted to heat or freeze, or which

are deprived of a reasonable amount

of fresh air, will come out of storage

unfit for human food. Houses which





   





car because of the more rapid ~





do not provide proper living condiv'





tions‘ for the stored potatoes may of-

ten be made entirely satisfactory for

a very small outlay. In this work of

OUR hundred and Sixty thousand



American farmers quit their jobs

and‘left the farm last year—~says

the department of agriculture—possi-

bly to become carpenters and brick

layers and pleaterers, as suggested by

Mr. Babson.





The mOvement away from the farm

was strongest in the Pacific states,

while the percentage of loss was

greater than the average for the en-

tire country in the west, south central

and New England states as well as

the Pacific states. A





A fairly good carpenter, plasterer, or

bricklayer may be developed [in a. year

or two, but good farmers have to be

born as well as made, and require a

longer time to matriculate than 1any

other calling or profession. .



A wise'country and a wise govern-

ment will be careful always to main-

tain a. plentiful supply of good farm-

ers. They are very necessary.





 





Booms and Deflation.



Business is booming in the big cit-

ies. The federal reserve board warns

against price rocketing. The reserve

board remembers the “buyers’ strike”

and fears another. The reserve board

is wise. BuSiness, said to be wise, is

singularly dumb at learning from ex—

perience. That’s why it’s either a feast

or a famine in this country. An unin-

terrupted bow of good business at a.

fair profit is infinitely better than

crest waves of boom followed by

troughs of depression. High prices

bring on buyers’ strikes and buyers’

strikes bring on depression.



If the reserve board wants to stop

State Capital Comment





By Our Lansing Correspondent





HE governor's veto of the gas



I tax and the legislature's failure

to pass it over his veto marked



an important turning point in the pro-

gress of the session. Everything that

happens from now on will be more or

less influenced by the bitterness .of

the battle waged over the gas tax.

Just what provision will now be made

for financing the state’s highway pro-

gram and paying the interest and





- principle on the accumulated highway

,bonds is yet to be determined.





The governor, in his veto message,





made an attack on the state highway.





department and rehearsed the various

stock arguments against the gas tax

which his spokesmen in the legisla-

ture have been repeating ever' since

this question came up for discussion.

His friends declare that the message

was a most masterly one, while those

not so kindly disposed feel that he

did not do himself justice, and-by

bringing up many things not directly

related to the gas tax, tried to throw

up a smoke screen and detract public

attention from the real issue.





 





_By.runi Bill Passes House:

While deadlocked with the governor

the gasoline tax issue, the house took





“a decided forward step by passing and

”sending on to the senate the Byrum





state income tax measure.

This tax is not intended as an addi-





tional burden but to entirely remove.

. the necessity for a general property





tax for state purposes. ‘ ‘/

The exemptions of $1, 000 for a sin-





Cele person, $2,000 fOr a married pert,





, and $40 for each child or other ’tnnberi stand to be taxed annually (in





 





dened general property owner would

secure marked relief. The general

property tax would thus become a

purely local‘matter and'local economy

would be fostered because the blame

for high property tax could not be

shifted to the legislature.





 





School Bill Fund 0. K’D



After prolonged debate the house

passed by a vote of seventy-two to

twenty~two vote, Representative Meg-

gison’s bill to provide for a change in

the method of apportioning the pri-

mary school interest fund in order to

give greater aid to the poorer school

districts and thus equalize the Oppor-





tunity for securing a primary school





education in Michigan.



Opposition to the bill appeared to

come. chiefly from Grand Rapids mem-

bers. Under the p10posed system this

city will receive less state aid and so

they registered strenuous opposition

Detroit representatives also voted

against this bill. ’





 





Deferred Forest Tax.

Sentiment of those who believe that

the general property tax is not adapt-

ed to a. long-time crop,: such as forest

products, has found expression in a

bill sponsored

Thomas 1).

This-bill, which has been favorably





considered by the committee ,of the





whole house Land has been advanced





to third reading, is intended to pro- ‘

BIG, JU lCY TOMATOES.





 





HERE are probably more failures

inthe growing of tomatoes in farm

and kitchen gardens than any other

vegetable, because growers rush the





‘- plantsito the open ground before dan-





ger of frost has passed. Tomatoes are

tender plants, requiring hot weather

and Michigan growers

should keep them in hot-bed or cold-

frames until after. the first of June.

If tomato plants, are touched by fr0st,





however lightly, they will not produce ,





a perfect crop.

Ordinarily the plants are started by





seeding in the hot-bed in March or





early April. In three weeks thin them

to stand about three inches in the hot-

bed and transfer the extra plants to

other; beds, flats or two-and-one-half—

inch pots—one plant to each pot.



At the end of the second or third

week following the first transfer, shift

them to cold-frames and set the plants

six inches‘ apart. Here they develop

la‘rge roots and strong tops that will

stand erect in the garden.



Before the time for the final trans-





fer. to the open garden the plants .





should be hardened off, gradually ex-

posed so that there will be no sudden

change for them when they' leave the

warm, early home—Mills.





APPLE APHIDS EASILY CON-

TROLLED.





 





,PHIDS on apple‘ trees are quite

easily controlled by the use of a

spray containing lime-sulphur and nio-

otine applied just as the insects are

hatching out in the spring.



There are two kinds of aphids com—

monly found on buds of apple trees in

the Spring, one known as the rosy

aphis and the other as the green apple

aphis. The feeding of these insects

results in ‘dwarfed, mis-shapen fruit

unfit for market and is frequently a





’ serious loss to growers.





Experiments have demOnstrated

that thorough spraying with a mixture

containing two and one-half gallons of

limesulphur, three-quarters of a pint

of nicotine sulphate, and water to

make 100 gallons at the time that the

tips of the leaves of the fruit buds pro~

trude from dne- fourth to one- -half inch





- will control the pests most effectively.





Careful spraying from the ground

and under the tree rather than from

the top of the spray tank is regarded

as an important fact01 in the control

of these pests. \





 





PLANT POP CORN.





 





I F it were possible for me to speak

a personal word to every farmer’s

wife in the United States, I would





make it a. strong point to urge every .

one of them to see that no season’s ~





planting Was complete without a good

ly—sized patch of pop corn.





Too many of the men folks are in-





clined to look upon pop corn as -a

.“baby’s crop”





; and nothing more there would be

sufficient proof that it should not be

neglected; but there are. 31181157 more





 

 





 

 





 





 





fast food. '





 





 





hour or so .“a poppingcorn in the

ashes,” as the old school reader put





it, I say, if anyone can imagine a more





cheerful hour, let them speak up,

please.



There are so many ways of prepar-

ing pop corn that it is impossible to

mention all in this article. ‘80 I shall

only mention a few of the ways, leav»

ing out details. Plain pop cern, pop

corn balls, salted pop corn, pop corn

crisp and, bestof all, ‘pop corn with

cream and sugar! It would be difficult

to conceive of a more delicious break-





 





A Cage Put Around a Promising New

Apple Variety in New Jersey to Pre-

p vent Theft of Buds.





And yet it is safe to say

that at least one—half of those living

on farms have never heard of this de-

lightful dish. When we stop to con—

sider that most farmer’s families are

blessed with plenty of good, rich

cream and could, with very little ad-

ditional effort, grow enough pop corn

for their own use, it seems almost

cruel that the children (as well as the

older folks) should be deprived of this

healthful treat.





, Pop corn is easily grown.

does not pay to neglect its cultivation.

yet it will thrive on treatment that

would mean total failure with other

corn. It is surprising how much can

be grown on a small patch. Our little

boy raised a half bushel in the gar-

den last summer on a plot fifteen feet

long, and eight feet wide. This plot

would have accommodated only eight

or ten hills of field corn, whereas

there were just thirty-six hills of pop

corn. So it does not necessarily re-





quire wide planting. We prefer the





rice corn,‘ while there are other good

varieties. The old theory that pop





- corn must be a year old before it will





pop is foolish. After the corn is ripe

and fairly dry, we shell some of,,the

driest ears, spread them in a large

pan and allow to dry about a week.

It is then ready topop.



If more pop corn is grown than is

needed for home use, there is always

ready sale for it, in town. By all

means plant some pop corn. l

It will spread rapidly. It will form a perfect film between the

moving frictional surfaces. It will insure long life to the bear-

It outstrips any lubricant on the market in maintaining its body through

Don’t fool yourself into fancied security, by thinking, “Oh, the oil I‘m

is no “just as good,” or even “second best” lubrication. There is one right

lubricant for your tractor. It is specified in the Chart. When you do

A Champion in Every Cylinder

Means Better Performance





You will notice a vast difference in engine ‘

performance the moment you put in an

entire set of new Champion Spark plugs.

POWer and pick- -up improve. All sluggish

feeling is gone. The engine has new life.





And you will more than save the cost of

the Champion spark plugs in greater oil

and gas economy to say nothing of pro~

tecting your engine against costly repairs

due to faulty ignition.





Champion is a better spark plug. Better because

of its wonderful new core that will stand stress more

severe than it will ever encounter in the engine.





You will know this new‘ Champion by the

Double-Ribbed core. Put a full set in your

car, tractor, truck orstationaryengino. Tbah's

real economy as thousands have found out.

Champions are soldlby dealers everywhere

cent books, most

of them having

been published‘

less than a year'

ago.

Something over a century ago. Ben-E

jamin Franklin was the ambassadorj

of the American colonial government,

in Paris. Atheism and various forms,T

of free thinking were in the air. Toj

be. a believer was not considered good}

form, and to read the Bible was a sub-i

ject. of humor. Franklin belonged to:

a literary club which met each weeki

It came his turn to provide the pro-f:

gram. He engaged an actress to take.

the Book of Ruth, commit, it to mem~i

cry, and recite it at the club. The)

members were delighted. They had;

never heard this exquisite love storyi

before. It Was so natural. so chaste...

so charming. Where had Mr. Franklinl

found it? Then the wisest of Ameri-l

cans informed them that. this had?

come from the despised book calleil‘

the Bible, and what was more, there

was more of such literature to be

found there. ‘





 





i

T is necessary for the literary criticI

to reveal to us, sometimes, our owu



treasures. And the literary man says



that this is a rare bit of writing. “It

is one of those quiet corners of his-

tory which are the green spots of all

time, and which appear to become

greener and greener as they recede

into the distance." Following after



Judges, (in the ancient editions of the



Old Testament, a part of Judges),



Ruth is in direct contrast to the wild



and bloody stories of that book. Com—



ing out of Judges into Ruth' is like



leaving the winds and torrents of a



mountain storm behind, and entering



a peaceful valley, radiant with autumn



sunshine.



The sequel to the interesting experi-

ence of Ruth was far more ,happy than

that of the average woman in similar

circumstances. They work in factor-

ies, they sew by the hour in ill—venti-

lated shops, they clerk, work in laun-

dries, all to keep a respectable place

in the world, and to do whatever can

be done for their children. Is the

religion founded by the Descendant of

Ruth going to end such conditions in

time? That was what he taught. “The

kingdom of heaven is at hand,” was

his emphatic message. We who be-





lieve in Him believe that a day is .





coming when poverty will be swept

away. ’

AN spite of her feelings .toward the

newcomers, there was something





, about the white mare that made Queen





interested in her. She kept raising

her head and looking toward her and





one time as she did so, she saw White—





black approaching her. When Queen

saw them sniffing noses and touching

each other eagerly, she trotted over

to them. This time instead of limp-

ing away at her approach, the white

mare waited for her. She seemed glad

to touch noses with Queen; but Queen

felt uncomfortable. The old kindly

spirit that had made the white mare

so lovable had given way to a dis-

agreeable impatience and suspicion;

and her presence set two emotions

struggling with each other in Queen’s

heart. The subtle odor that. made

Queen think of some of those distant,

weary, winter nights when she lay

mother,

drew her emotionally to the old mare;

while the odor of man and barn re-

pelled her. Over these emotions like

a black cloud in the sky, hovered a

new-born fear as if she had discerned

in the poor mare’s condition the warn-

ing: "Beware of man for thus he

breaks the spirit and the body.”



At dusk Queen led the herd in a

race over the plains. The poor white

did not go very far before in her eag-

erness she tripped and fell. Queen and

W'hite-black went back to her and

grazed about her. They began to feel

that there was something terrible g0<

ing to happen to her and they watched

her curiously. . fl _ . ..



That night all three of them lay

near each other. ‘VVhite-black and

Queen were fast asleep in die latter





'pait. of the cold night, when they Were

" awakened by a cry from the white





mare. Queen jumped up in time to

get out of the black old jade’s way.

The night was cold and he was very

thin—blooded. Unable to keep warm he

had gone in search of a warmer place

and in his clumsy way had stepped up

on the white mare’s swollen leg.

White-black nipped him on the back

and with a cry of protest he lumbered

away into the darkness. When Queen

Went back to sleep she was very much





‘ disturbed by the white mare’s groan-





‘ing; Several times she woke up’and

whinnied to her, but the groaning'con-

tinued at intervals all through the

night.





NEXT day Queen noticed that blood

was running from her swollen leg,

and by nightfall the white mare was

nowhere to be seen. Queen looked for‘

her for a while and she saw that

her, but they did not find’her that day

nor the next, though they searched for

her constantly as they went about

their grating.



The dull days of early winter came

back, grey and silent and ominous.

Geese flew over them daily on their

way to the south and their honking

filled Queen with an ineffable sadness.

Suddenly one day as she was grazing

by herself she came upon the body of





l'ows, theybegan once more moving

northward in earnest. Forces they

could not understand impelled them.

Thus they abandoned forever the

scenes-of their youth.



The winter passed like a night. of

pleasure. Protected on the north by

a strip of ‘woodland many miles long,

Queen and her companions slept the

long nights away. The snow, deep in

many places, was not very deep near





 





 





THE OLD PINE STUMP





By Al.





It’s only a stump, for the tree is

gone;

And always a stump will be;

For the curse of greed is living on





The life of the waving tree.





It stood in the path of the golden ago

Where vandals have swung the axe,

Who have built themselves a gilded

cage,

And Nature has paid the tax.





’Tis only a corpse of a hero, slain,

That once was a-throb with life,

That has given it's life to greed for

gain—

lts blood to the despot’s knife.





R i c e ' ’

It’s charred by the fires of the passing

years





And doomed to a slow decay;

Like a ban-shoe ghost it stands and

leers—

A grief in the farmer’s way.





No feel of the spring in the roots that

bore

The life to the waiting limb,

And the beauty that it grandly wore

Is turned to a visage grim.





It's only a stump for the hand of greed

Has gathered a harvest here,



Nor has left a sprout from golden seed

For the landscape, grey and drear.





 





 





the white .mare. She touched the cold,

hard nose with her own and sprang

away frightened. She did not try to

sniff again. Now she. knew that this

wasdeath and hurried away.





VVhite-biack was grazing almost a

quarter of a mile away. Queen trotted

bver to him and whinnied. repeatedly.

He answered her, but he did not know

what ailed her. She walked away a

short distance and called him. First

he replied while grazing, then at the

second call, he raised his. head and

walked toward her. But he was no

sooner pulling away at some grass

there, when he discovered that she

was some distance away again and

calling as hard as ever. For some rea-

son known only to her she was lead-

ing him away to the north again and

though he went relucta‘ntly at first,





with the 1est of the herd following ,





him, they were soon well on their way.

A few miles from the lake, they stop-

ped, however, for fear that they might

not come upon water, There were in

this group no more than a dozen of

them, all colts that had been; brought

up together,‘and they were glad to be

by themselves, though as they moved

011. the rest of the horses, miles be-

hind, moved after them. When a

snowstorm came and filled all the hol—





 





the wall of poplars and feeding came

comparatively easily. 0n sunny days

they spent as much time chasing each

other through the deepest drifts as

they did in pawing for grass. The dry

snows made warm blankets and the

howling winds, shrieking in the pop-

lars, provided music for their zenjoy-

ment of life, often sad, but for all its

sadness, sweet.



They were big and strong now. The





blood flowed rich and heely through”





their veins and the hair on their bod-

ies, which was as long as the hair on

the bears that at very rare intervals

showed themselves and disappeared,

kept 'them warm. The elements, no

matter how, savagely they raged, could

not become disagreeable.





A FEW weeks of springtime. with

open pladns to lope over and new

g1ass, and they grew daily strongei

and fleeter. Sorrows of the dead past

were forgotten and the joys of the

present were so all absorbing that. ev-

en man seemed to have become ex-

tinct, as i‘a1 as they were concerned.

_ To the joy of unlimited space, of

surging healthy blood, of plenty to

eat and drink, of peaceful and con—

stant companionship was added the aes-

thetic pleasures of love. Having first





discovered in themselves preferences

for members of the opposite sex, they .

began to see traits and characteristics

in their choice which thrilled them.





There were, of course, petty quar-

rels now and then, since IOVe will not

come unaccompanied by strife, and na-

ture is not always provident, or when

she‘ is provident, so often disorderly.

There were some disappointments and

the weak, helpless here as the weak

are helpless everywhere, often had to

give way to the strong; but the trag«





edy that follows love amOng ferocious T

and greedy animals never marred. their _





happier relations; and even the weak-

er ones found love req-uited. Life on

the rim of love was so rich; nature

beyond love was so lavish, hurts heal-

ed before the wounds reached the

flesh.





But to Queen and White-black life

was a game in which even tiredness.

had its delight. Strong and healthy and

beautiful, admired by the rest and fol-

lowed in their every whim, they play-

ed through the uninterrupted carnival

of laughing spring and smiling,

drowsy summer. When winter came

again, they met it without fear, willing

to wade through deep snows, accept—

ing the violent lashes of wind and

blizzard, warming their hearts in'the-

expectant joy of another spring and

another summer, looking upon life, in

their innocence, as an endlessly inter-

esting cycle in which winter was the

greatest discomfort and spring its

eternal retribution.

What Is Clothlng Economy ’

By Emma Ryan

Cleaning Spedalirt, M. A. C.





CONOMY is an important word



to the \majority of people. When



this word is mentioned the first

question that is brought to mind is:

How much money is saved? How-

ever, in considering the relation .of

economics to clothing, we must not

only consider the money which is sav-

ed through wise selection, but also

consider economy of time and strength

which results in using the shortest

and best methods in constructing a

garment or in making the household

furnishings.





Spring time always brings with it

the problem of replenishing the ward-

robe to last through the busy summer

months, and frequently the task of

making .fresh curtains or draperies to

add a touch of newness to the home.

Of course, the housewife is busy and

must use the quickest methods in do-

ing her spring sewing.



One of the most important steps to‘

wards greater efficiency in sewing is

a more adequateunderstanding of the

sewing machine which will result in

using quicker methods of work. To

many women, the box of machine at-

tachments means very little morethau

the equipment which comes gratis.

These attachments when properly

used will save time, money, and pro

duce better workmanship.





French seams can ‘be made with

the hemmer. This requires but one

length of thread [or the seam and also

insures the “seamstress that there will

befino raveled edge on the right. side

of the garment.



For children’s clothing, binding is

indispensable as a trimming, and as a





Baking in





1TH the mutual benefit to'ih’e

W producer and the consumer, the



program of “Michigan Food for

Michigan Folks," well deserves all the

attention it is receiving. It fosters

the reduction. of marketing expenses

which are added to the price the con-

sumer has to pay for the food product

and subtract from the farmer’s profits.





There is no single article of food

that is so frequently placed on the ta-

ble or takes as prominent a ‘place in

the average diet as bread. The prin-

cipal constituent of bread is flour.

As Michigan housewives master the

proportions of Michigan flour to be

used in their daily bakings, they are

feeding their families with a high

quality of baked foods with a saving

to themselves and to the Michigan

farmer producing the wheat.





we must all agree that good-home-

made bread is more tasty, more appe-

tizing and more nourishing than bak-

ers’ bread can be. Properly balanced

with other food products, it may well





_ form a considerable part of our daily-‘8





diet. Nothing is more appetxzing,’

timeisaver in making buttonholes. An- _. ‘ . l . If

other ‘ useful attachment which is 11

closely connected with the. binder is ' a

the bias cutting gauge. 'Its purpose. 'l e

is to cut narrow bias or, straight piec- ll 3

es evenly. .It is true that bias tape is I -‘ ‘

on the market, but it is much less ex- " a





pensive to prepare it at home. Then, ' . 1



too, perhaps the store does not have "



just the right .color and quality and 3



this little gauge will save endless l

measuring. ‘ . .| 11



Commercial patterns are a big item

to the woman who does the family

sewing. The woman who has learned

to adapt a pattern to other designs l

does not only save money but also ' '

time and trouble. If shehas learned

to fit «properly and alter her pattern .

to fit, then it is a. simple task to 1

change the design of blouse or dress, - ‘ ’

using a foundation pattern for this

purpose.



The housewife who makes definite

plans for her work accomplishes more

than the housewife who works with-

out a schedule. The same principle

holds true with the housewife who 1

shops with a definite aim. It is neces-

saiy for the efficient home-maker to

take inventory of the clothes closets

and linen closets so that she can plan

regarding the number, kind and.qual-

ity of garments and materials to be

purchased Then she can wisely ap-

portion the amount of money for each

item.’



To sum up, we might state that

fuither education in the fundamental

principles of sewing in textile selec-

tion, and in the best methods of work

will result in a saving of time, energy,

and money for the homemaker.

~Nelson now has his cows in good

To his best producing cows he is

SUMM‘ER FEED FOR cows.





 





IDING the cows over the dry pe-

riod of summer is a difficult and

important matter for us dairymen.

Cows which freshen late in winter and

in the spring produce well for a short



' time and then fall off heavily in the

milk flow, due very largely to the de-





 





early maturing succulent feed.

Uats~ and peas make an excellent

combination for summer feeding. I

have grown them heretofore ior forage

with excellent results. The crop may

be cut green and fed as a soiling crop

or matured and stored. I would sow

one and one-half bushels of oats and

one bushel of peas to the acre as early

in the spring as the soil can be made

ready. ‘

Where a large acreage of clover hay

is grown, somemf it can be out early

and used for feeding. I have done

this as early as the fifteenth of June.

Alfalfa can be used in the same man-’

ner.

fali’a as a soiling crop and likes it

very much for the purpose.

« » in'g White Diarrhea ‘





The following letter will no doubt

be of unnost interest to poultry raisers

who hate had“ serious losses from

White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.

Bradshaw tell of her experience in her





 





‘\





3 own words: .

“Gentlemen: I see reports of so

many losing their little chicks with





White Diarrhea, so thought I would

tell my experience. I used to lose a

great many from this cause, tried

many remedies and was about dis-

“ couraged. As a last resort I sent to

the Walker Remedy (10., Dept. 507,

Waterloo Iowa, for their Walko White

I used two 50c

packagesgraised300 White WW

randnenerlostoneorhadonesick

after giving the medicine, and my

chickens are larger and healthier than

ever before. I have found this Com-

pany thoroughly reliable and always

et the remedy by return mad—Mrs.

EM M.Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.”

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the

Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum. This

germ is transmitted to the baby chick

' through the yolk of the newly hatched

’ egg. Readers are warned to beware

of White Diarrhea. Don’ t wait until

it kills half your chicks. Take the

“stitch in time that saves nine." Re-

member, there is scarcely a hatch

without some infected chicks. Don' t

let these few infect your entire flock.

Prevent. it. Give Walko in all drinking

water for the first two weeks and you





won’t lose one chick where you lost

hundreds before. These letters prove it:





Never Lost a Single Chick





Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,

Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of

chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally

I sent for two packages of Walko. I

raised over 500 chicks and I never lost

a single chick from White Diarrhea.

Walko not only prevents White Diar-

.rhea, but it gives the chicks strength

and vigor; they develop quicker and

feather earlier.





Never Lost One Alter First Dose





Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,

Iowa, writes: “My first incubator

chicks, when but a few days old, be-

gan to die by the dozens with White

Diarrhea. I tried different remedies

and was about discouraged with the

chicken business. Finally I sent to the

Walker Remedy (30., Waterloo, Iowa,



- for a box of their -Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing

for this terrible disease We raised

700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never

lost a single chick after the first dose."





You Run No Risk





We will send Walko White Diar-

rhea Remedy entirely at our risk

—postage prepaid—so you can see for

yourself What a wonder-working rem-

edy itis for White Diarrhea in baby

chicks. mSo you can pmve—.—as thou-

sands have provenA—that it will stop

your IOSSes and double, treble, even

quadruple your profits. Send 50c for

cannibalism in poultry flocks is

due to faulty nutrition and is often

greatly encouraged when the birds

are closely confined. Ordinarily when

birds are “on free range, this habit

stops unless the trouble has developed





cated by the picking of feathers, and

sometimes flesh. of one another.



The cuie is to feed more protein!

If skim-milk is used as part of the

ration, the d1y mash should contain

about ten per cent 01 pxotein where





cent production. If skimmilk is not

available, the protein content of the

dry mash should be increased to from

fifteen to twenty per cent.



Professor Foreman suggests the

hanging of a piece of liver in the coop

for two or three days. This immedi-

ately supplies the protein needs. '

“ROUP CURE.



I SEE in the Michigan Farmer sev-



eral inquiries for a cure for roup.

Here is one I have found effective. It

is made of equal pa1ts of linseed oil

and coal oil. I bathe the head parts

with a feather. If the throat is closed

and they cough I also swab out their

throats with the remedy—Mrs. B. F.

Hartzler.





WANT EGGS STAM PED.





HE various housewife organiza-

tions of England are endeavoring

to put, through parliament a bill which

will require the stamping of each egg

sold in that country with the country

of its origin.‘ It has been found that

only about ten per cent of the eggs

used in England are newdaid eggs

from the English provinces. Huge

quantities of eggs are imported from

Holland, China and Egypt and are

mixed with 011191 egg 3 to be sold as

the native product. The housewives

believe that the slumping of the eggs

will encourage the home poultry in-

dustry‘and will assure them of afresh

product. .





THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST.





 





HE production for the week end-

ing April 17 was slightly lower

than the week before. due possibly to

the fact that all the pens were disin-

fected during the week which neces-

sarily disturbed the hens. As yet, the

birds have not shovm anything like a

spring increase in egg productmn.

The leaders in the past week's pro-

duction were the Leghorns belonging

to L. N. Clark, of Port Hope, Ontario.

This pen laid fifty eggs. The Leghorns

belonging to the \Vol

came second with forty-nine eggs. and

the Northland Farms pen finished

third with fmty- eight eggs.

Dear Uncle F1ank:



I thought. 1 had better write and

express my views about knickers and

bobbed hair. I have both, and like

them fine. Don’t you think knickers

are just the stuff to play ball in, Uncle

Frank?



I live on a ninety-six—acre farm and

like it fine. In the summer I wear

overalls and dress like a boy. I help

milk cows nearly every night and

morning. So I am part boy. I look

something like one with my hair cut

so short.



Whlen I grow older I want to be a

nurse. Don’t you “think that would be

a good occupation for me? Yours with

love, G. Marian Plane, Silverwood,

Mich.



I never had the experience of play-

ing ball in knickers, but I think it is

all right; at least, it looks all right. If

you like taking care of the sick, nurs-

ing would be a good occupation for





YOU.





Dear Uncle Frank:



Don’t you think that: was a dandy

stunt that Edna Crandall’s brotherv

played on his father? My, but I wish

I had been there to see the faces he

made.



If this letter ends up in the waste

paper basket I will never try again.

Try, try again, is my motto.



I said that the other night and .my

father said, “It‘ at first you don’t suc-

ceed, suck lemons,” but I think I am

sour enough now.



I haven’t any Uncle Frank so I Wish

you would be my Uncle Frank.



Hoping that I may be one of your

nieces, Eloise Hartley, Iron River,

Mich., Box 648.



I think your father’s suggestion is

a good one. Sucking lemons may give

courage to try again. At least, ath-

letes find sucking lemons beneficial.

I wu'll be your U. F.





 





Dea1 Uncle F1 ank:





Our hot lunch club has been a suc-

cess £01 two years. I was one of the

cooks. Indeed, it was great fun to

cook, but it is no fun to cook at home.



I was vice- president in the club this

year and when washing dishes, I had

to wash every time because the per‘

son with me was too small. So he

had to wipe. When we served at noon

we had to get in line so the cook could

wait upon us. The cook I Was with

was there only about half the time, so

it made it hard to cook alone.



I wish more of the schools would

have the hot lunch clubs. It is a great

help to the children in school; ,at

least, I got along better. The name of

our hot lunch club is The Ramsay

Energy Club—Goodbye, Uncle Frank,

Arthur Erskine, Nessen City, Mich.,

R. 1.





I’ll bet a cookie you are a good

cook. But why isn’t it fun to cook at

home? I think it would be fun to

relieve mother sometimes.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I 1eceived the Merry Ciicle button

and membership card some time ago.

I was very glad to get them. I think

the button is very pretty.



I enjoy reading Our Letter Box very

much We enjoy Hy Syckle. Every

time the Michigan Farmer comes my

father reads Hy Syckle out loud to us.



We go to church about three miles

from here. There is no church when

the snow gets so the ears can’t run.

We hope church will soon stalt up

When our car wouldn’t run last fall

my two sisters, my brother and I walk-

ed to church eve1y Sunday. I hope

Mr. W. B. doesn’t get this letter. 1



Well, I will close. —Your niece, Ada

E. Fane, Scottville, Mich., R. 4.





, Mr. Waste Basket lost out this

time. I bet you have a. good healthy

appetite for Sunday dinner after





walking to and from church. .





 





4 I” Uncle Frank:

'- see, I am a neWcomer. Have

om‘fo‘r me? I have worked,





Found In Our Letter BoX

,oultureasap





 





on many of your contests but as we

live very far from the post office I did

not get them mailed. Just think, if I

would have joined last year, I would





have been an old member and you '





would have paid more attention to my

writings now.



I sent in a poem Which I made up

I know it. won’t be as good as the

poems you will receive from the other

boys and girls.

I read the poems they wrote in a 00111

test some time ago.



Well, I will write more another time,

if‘ I am aCCepted in the Merry Circle.

I am, (if accepted), your niece, Sadie

Jackson, Cornell, Mich., Box 47. ‘



Lots of room yet. Old members do

not get more attention but I know

their letters better. The boys and

girls surprise me with their poetic

ability.





EATON YOUTH WINS JCDGING

CONTEST.





 





HE four, years of live stock club



work which 'was completed by

Don Shepard, or” Eaton county, last

tall, gave to him a practical knowledge

of desirable types of live stock and

the points to keep in mind in placing

one over the other. In addition to

these experiences, Don received a.

short-course scholarship at M. A. G.





 





Donald Shepard and one of His

Prize Winners.





for being the outstanding all-around

county club member in 1920. As soon

as he finished his high school work he



made plans to take advantage of this

scholarship, which he did this past

winter. -



This splendid club experience, coup-

led with the instructions received in

the sixteen-weeks’ short course, gave

Don an excellent foundation for com-

peting in the annual short-course live

stock judging contest“. This judging

contest is ‘one of the big features and

a very fitting climax to the live stock

work.





The contest is looked upon as as





very valuable part of the short-course

training by Mr Shaw, dean of agricul-

ture at the- college, as he makes a

present of a silver loving cup- to the

winner of this annual'event. ~



The network and organization of ag-

ricultural training for young people

which has been built up by the colv

lege through the boys’ and girls’ club





work and high school agricultural





courses is far-reaching in its, influ-

ence and benefits to the young people

of our state, and touches thousands





of boys and girls who otherwise would - _ .

not receive any training from this In»; ‘7 »





stitution. This preliminary work is

climaxed, however, by shortcoiirse





“and four-year courses given at the col-. ‘ ',

logo which provide: a very thorough ' ‘ “ 1

How T o Raise

Put Avicol in the Drinking Water





Most people lose half of every hutch,

or White diarrhoea, is the cause.



An Avicol tablet in the

drinking water will save

Mrs. Wm. May, Rego,

<‘Ind., writes “I was losing

10 or.15 chicks a day

from diarrhoea before I received the

Avicol. I haven’t lost one since."



‘ It costs nothing to try Avicol. Use it

either for preventing or treating white

diarrhoea and all bowel diseases of poul-

working ~o11 it. Therefore, a

motto contest this time. Put

on your thinking caps and see if

you can not work out some

worth while thought. The ten

best mottoes will Win for their

writers the usual prizes. The

first two will get pencil boxes;

the next three, nickled pocket

pencils; and the next five, Mich—

igan Farmer maps of the world

and new Europe. All worth

while mottoes will earn Merly

Circle buttons and cards for

their writers. This contest clos-

es May 4.

COST OF RAISING HEIFERS.





AN experiment consisted of raising

g1 cups of calves from birth to one

and two years of age and keeping a

record of all food consumed. In one

experiment eleven of the calves were

raised to the age of one year. Each

calf consumed in that time feed as

follows: Hay, 571.8 pounds; grain,

885.5 pounds; silage, 3,693.1 pounds;

milk, 110 pounds; skim-milk, 2,114

pounds.

Six of the calves Were dropped in

the first year. The remaining five

were then fed for the second year.

During this time, each call? consumed

on the average 1,117.8 pounds of hay;

1,221.6 pounds of grain; 8,031 pounds

of silage.

These figures emphasize the neces-

sity of providing cheap feed for hell’-

ers, such as pasture and silage—Max

J. Miller.

WHEAT





at





The wheat market held clOse to the

high point of the season last Week un-

Ol' adverse crop

ireports but. the late arrival or plantingr





der a. bombardment





weather in the northwest, and rain in





Kansas and Nebraska. caused a mod-

Un—





- crate decline toward the close.

otiicial estimates point to an abandon—

ment ol’ about fifteen per cent ot' the

winter wheat acreage. compared with

a t'envyear ayerage of around ten per

cent. The seeding ot‘ spr‘ng‘wheat:

shows a reduction of 5.5 per cent be—

low last year.





CORN & OATS

The department of agriculture. has

issued an advance estimate indicating

an increase ol‘ 2.0 per cent in the.

acreage oi' both corn and oats as cpm-

pared with last year. ' Prices of both

corn and oats have been holding with-





in narrow limits during the last; ten

days. lv‘armers are selling but little

grain at present, but the. demand at





terminals shows less snap than a short





time ago.

SEEDS

Clover seed declined to a new low

for the season last week. The spring

demand is fairly active but stocks to

be distributed are large and the sur-

plus sections still seem to have an

ample supply for sale. Timothy and

alsikte prices have shown but little

change in recent weeks.





HA’Y





Light receipts of hay as a result of

bad roads and urgent farm work are

responsible for firmness in hay mar-

kets. The southern demand has sub-

sided and buyers generally are pro-

viding only for immediate require-

ments.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Receipts of eggs at the lead'uigmar—

kets increased last week and with

more spring—like weather as an aid to

production,.prices weakened and de-

clined slightly toward the close. The

prices in small interior markets are

relatively higher in many cases .than

at the principal cities.

BUTTER





The heavy receipts and a» change of.





sentiment. resulting from the approach

Ofthe fl-ush season of production, to-

gether with weak foreign markets.

caused a sharp decline in butter pric-

es last week. A moderate upturn may

occur when distributors’ stocks are

reduced but all buyers are disposed to

avoid carrying any accumulation until

the bottom has been reached.





Prices for .92-score fresh butter

were: Chicago 405420; New York at

42%0.





In Detroit fresh creamery in

tubs sells for 41@420. .





POTATOES





Potato prices advanced early last

week but lost part Oi? the gain toward

the close. Markets were well supplied

with old potatoes but shipments of

new potatoes remain rather small.

Northern whites and early Ohios are

quoted at $1.25@2 in city markets and

$1.20@l.45 t'. o. b. shipping points. in

spite of the. heavy movement from the

producing sections, prices of Old pota-

toes are expected to hold close to the.

present levels during the balance of





the season.

BEANS





Bean prices dropped slightly at the

close of last week to $7.10@7.l5 for

the choice handpicked whites l'. o. b.

Michigan shipping points. Demand is

very light. Stocks of domestic beans

are considerably larger than last year

and there. are. fully as many foreign





beans being Offered as a year ago. The May





latterrare» responsible for part of the

weakness on domestic beans.
