CURRENT COMMENT

The man who follows the other
fellow. is always behind.

 

 

This summer’s dry spell is a test
which good farming will survive.

It is important that we know, be-
fore we support them, that our agri-
cultural leaders are unselfish.

If some of our political officials
keep on advocating a certain degree
of wetness, they will very likely get
soaked when it comes to re—election.

Many acres in the state need re-
forestation. Taxation on such lands
has discouraged many people from
undertaking this work.

So many confuse noise with action.
Noise is usually action out of align-
ment; but the most efficient machin-
ery is that which runs the quietest.
The same with men.

0 better adapt

More Sugar our agriculture

Less ments, it has been
Wheat suggested that, we

grow, more sugar and
less wheat. This idea is in line with
the thought we have been trying,
from time to time, to impress upon
our readers.

The facts are that, in Michigan par-
ticularly, there is a whole lot of soil
peculiarly adapted to the production
of sugar beets which is not being
used for that purpose at the present
time. Our wheat acreage, on the
other hand, has been above normal
for the past several years to the finan~
cial detriment of all wheat growers.

Sugar is in demand, while wheat is
burdening the markets. Our supply
of the former product falls far below
our annual requirements; while pro-
fitable wheat prices are made impos-
sible through the inability of foreign
markets to absorb our surplus. The
production of more sugar would sup-
ply a real need and permit the Ameri-
can housewife to put up her fruit as
she has been accustomed to in the
past. Growing less wheat would en—
able those who are dependent upon
that crop to realize a living income
therefrom.

There is, however, a real obstacle
in the way of adopting this program.
This is the insistence of a few sugar
importers on the removal of the tariff
on this product. These importers are
more concerned about trading in the
foreign product than in developing a
home idustry. They would let down
the bars to compel American beet

growers to compete with foreign
labor.

What One of this issue is

C a description of the,
' ow ,1eading cow in all
CouhiDo the cow testing as-

sociations of the
state of Michigan. According to the
reports sent out by the Agricultural
College Extension Department, this
cow produced milk which exceeded in
value the cost of the feed consumed,
by $191.83.

Calculated in terms of wheat on the
basis of the state’s good average of
17.1 bushels per acre, it would take
over fourteen acres of the cereal to
produce at the present price of
eighty cents per bushel, the value of
the above net returns from this cow
for the year.

Furthermore, compared to the value
of her entire product of $403.25, the

acreage of wheat required would be ,

29.5.
These comparisons suggest two
things: The value of good cows and

the relative importance of dairying as
a side line or a main line in the
farmer’s operations. In this connec-
tion it is important to note that dur-
ing the recent depression farmers
who lived in dairy sections and stuck
to their cows came through these try-
ing times in better shape than did
the farmers of any other section of
the ‘country. It is stated that not a
single bank failure took place where
dairying was the predominating line
of farming.

And then fixing up a roof and doing
other outside repair work cannot be

of man who needs these reminders is
usually the‘man who uses more ener-

he should put off a job that is worry-

well-known psy-

An . chologist says
Optomist’s that when we have

Viewpomt we should do what
we can to correct

and then take the optomist’s view-
point.

That is apparently just what a lot
of Ohio farmers did when they in-
cluded farm-obtained living expenses
in their yearly accounts. They fig-
ured what the farm supplied them for
their own maintenance, over and
above their labor income. In other
words, they gave the farm all the
credit it was due.

The average answer of what each
of these families got from the farm
aside from its labor income was $579
at county prices; and $1,204 if based
on retail prices in the nearest city.
In other words, these farm families
would have had to earn $1,204 more
than they did if they had pulled up
stakes and gone to the nearest city
to live.

Undoubtedly many of us get dis-
couraged with the farm and want to
“throw up the sponge.” But, in jus-

tice to the farm and in justice to our-
selves, we ought to at least “give the
Devil his due.” If we do this, we are

Educar/mrz

'DUCASHUN is what you learn
’cause if you don’t learn nothin'
you ain’t got no educashun.

There's lots a ways to' get a educa-

folks buy it at a collige ’cause they
gotta noshun that’s the only way you
‘ kin get it. I guess
a collige educa-

 

shun is alright;
but the trouble
is m o s t folks

think ’cause they
.paid for it they
don’t have to
work for it. And
a regular educa-
shun is one of

 

 

them things you gotta work for to get. ‘

There’s some folks what go to col-
lige for recreashun, not for educa-
shun. Most of them kinda folks
think they don’t need no educashun
’cause their dads is got money. Money
ain't no substitoot fOr brains, but they
ain’t got brains enought to know it.

I know what I’m talking about on
this collige stuff ’cause I went through
collige myself andlearnt lots when
I was there. I took what you call a
short course ’cause it took me only
a day to go through._ But I learnt
that you gotta be a good football
player to be a real poplar collige guy,
and if you can’t be that you gotta
learn to' rah rah right. There’s some
what take courses in canoein’ and
dancin' and other what you call nec-
essaries of life. Others what try
to act educated by learnin’ lots
a big soundin’ words whats more or-
namental than useful. And there’s
others what get the read learnin’ you
kin get at a collige if you really’want
a get it.

The funny thing about a collige ed-
ucashun is that some folks spend four
or five years tryin’ to be bachelors of
somethin’ or other, and _then in a
coupla years they do just like the rest
of us common folks and get married.

We’s all educated some way or oth-

and others is educated in the ways of

ENTIMENT in favor of the use -of
commercial fertilizer is rapidly
growing in Michigan because the

results from its application are al—
most always quite satisfactory. The
farmer who prides himself on his bus-
iness ability, however, wants to get
the most for the money he invests;
and unless he understands fully what
is contained in the fertilizer he buys
he is not likely to obtain the maxi-
mum of plant food value.

There is a p1inciple very familiar to
business men which applies with
equal force to dairy cows and fertili-
zers. ,It concerns overhead and di-
rect costs. If a shoe manufacturer
shuts down his plant because of a
strike his direct costs are reduced
to nething, but his overhead costs
continue just the same. If this shoe
manufacturer increases his
twofold, his direct expenses are mul-
tiplied by two, but his overhead is no
greater thanbefore. Hence the cost
of manufacturing each pair of shoes
'is decreased. That is the secret of
the economy'of large scale produc-
tion. '

The dairy cow exemplifies the same
principle, in a little different ,way.
Part of the costs of caring for the
cow continue even if she is producing
littleor no milk. But if her‘ rations
are changed, ”though at increased ex-
penSe, her increased output of milk

Everybody is at his or her best, for
the reputation and educational stami—

'The Fair Association is always
ready to give the schools a place in
which to exhibit their work, a part
in the regular program and events of
the day, and to admit the school. child~
ren free in consideration of the con-
tribution that the schools make to-
ward the success 01 the entire enter—
prise.

The Fair Association can well af-
ford to encourage the obseivation of
Educational Day at the Fair. It not
only tends to raise the educational
standard and helps to establish an
aggressive interest but serves as an

avenue through which the County
Fair is advertised Every school and
every home represented in these
schools knows that a Fair is to be
held, every parent who has children
in the schools that are to participate

,will be at the Fair at least one day,

and all will have a common interest
in the events of the day.

On the morning of Educational Day
the children and the parents gather
at their schoolhouse; the float which
has been previously prepared arrives
at an early hour and leads in the pro-
cession enroute to the Fair. The
school thus exerts a magnetic influ-
ence and assumes its place of leader—
ship in the community.

Similar processions enroute from a
score or more of schools will arrive
at the Fair at the appointed hour and
join with this school in the parade,
of school wagons and in the line of
march of the schools. Each school
carries a banner 011 which is inscribed
in large letters the name Of the
school. As the schools march down

give their yells and each is given a
score by the scrutinizing eyes of the
judges. '

The program for the day begins
promptly at eleven o’clock in the
morning with the parade of school
floats. This is followed with a basket
dinner in the grove. At one o’clock
the band arrives and leads the
schools in the line of march. As they
arrive at the grand stand each school
gives its yells and any special drill,
exercise, or demonstration that it may
have prepared.

The athletic events and baseball
and the children are set free for the
remainder of the day.

To summarize it may be stated that
the observance of Educational Day
at the County Fair should be en-
couraged. It turns the attention of
the school district upon a community
educational program, creates com-
munity pride, encourages cooperation
between pupils, teacher, and parents
and prepares the way for a construc-
tive educational program in the com-
munity. It arouses a wholesome type
of competitive interest among the
schools and helps to establish some
definite educational standards.

zer. How is the farmer to know when
he is getting the most for his money?
To answer this question requires an
examination of the factors which
make up or determine the price of a
fertilizer.

The price at which a fertilizer sells
is obtained by adding the cost of the

etc., and the profits of the manufac—
turer and the retailer. '

The first of these we may call the
direct cost of fertilizer manufacture,
since it is proportional to the amount
of plant food contained in the fertili-
zer. The charge per pound for the
.plant food elements such as nitrogen,

the same regardless of the composi-

All the other costs including main-

tenanee of the fertilizer plants, the
great care required in mixing the in-
gredients uniformly, bagging, hand—
ling and shipping—may be grouped as
general expense, or overhead. In the
case of the shoe manufacturer the
overhead continues even when no
shoes are being made. Likewise it
costs about a certain sum to mix and
handle ‘a ton of fertilizer regardless
of the plant food contained and so

this item of general expense, or over- ,

head, becomes a fixed charge against
each ton of mixed fertilizer. An ex-
‘a’minaticm of a list of fertilizer prices
shows that this item constitutes a

conside1able percentage of the mice
of all mixed fe1tilizers.
The Cheapest Fertilizer.

The cheapest fertilizer for the farm-
er is the one which fits the need of
his soil and in which the largest per-
cent. of the price goes to pay for
plant food and the least amount for
general expense. Since the general
expense item is the same for all mix-
tures, it is evident that in the case
of a low priced fertilizer containing a
small amount of plant food, the great-
er part of the price goes to pay this
general expense item.

On the other hand, in the case of
a moderate or higher priced fertilizer
containing a high percentage of plant
food, a much larger percentage of the
price goes to buy plant food and a
much smaller percentage to pay the
general expense item.

The prices of a 2-16-2 and 1—8-1 il—

mer sold for about $40 to $4? while
the latter sold for approximately $30
to $32. It is evident that in the case
of the 2-16-2 the farmer obtained
twice as much plant food for an in-
crease in price of about $10. There
is no question, therefore, that the
2-16-2 was by far the cheaper fertili-
zer although it cost the most money.

eral expense was charged against

Walton Peteete

HE outstanding educational fea-
ture of the fifth annual meeting
of the Michigan Potato Growers’

Exchange held at Cadillac, Mich. on
August 15th and 16th was an address
on cooperative marketing by Walton
Peteete of Texas, a leade1 in the co—
operative movement in that state,
and a director of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.

Mi Peteete stated that progIess of
potato growers in organizing fo1 ma1-
ket wo1k was g1atifying. Following
Michigan’s lead with her 01 gan1zat1on
of five years standing, Maine is now
organized with approximately 55% of
the growers included; North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado
are. organized with around 50% of
their growers included; Minnesota. is
conducting organization work now;
New York will organize this fall and
winter, while the movement is on foot
in Utah, Oregon and Washington. By
1924, the speaker predicted, all of the
principal states will be well organized
for marketing purposes.

Cooperative marketing is no longer
an experiment, and previous experi-
ence has pointed out the fundament—
als essential to success. The history
of cooperation was reviewed from the
old days when it was undertaken by
communities without any assurance
of volume, with the result that the
several communities competed with
each other. Experience points to the
fact that the cooperative marketing
organizations along commodity lines,
efficiently conducted, are nearly al-
ways successful, while the other type
of organizations are successful only
in rare instances. '

In defining the aim of organized
marketing, Mr. Peteete first pointed
out what they are not. He stated
that the aim of cooperative marketing
is not merely to get a small share of
the next middleman’s profits. It is
not to get more than outsiders re-
ceive for a similar product, since both
might get too little. While it is the
general trait of farmers to be satisfied
if they get more than their neighbors
receive for similar products, this does
not mean efficient merchandising or
marketing of their product. He em-
phasized the necessity of pooling pro-
ducts as a fundamental of successful
cooperative marketing, since farmers
do not readily sell their product on
rising markets, nearly all of them
striving for the top price. When the
market starts to fall they then start
to sell as it is an evidence that prices
have reached the top.

The aim of cooperative marketing
is to make a good market on which
all can sell. The real aim of the co-
operative movement is to substitute
the orderly merchandising of farm
products for the old wasteful practice
of dumping and blind selling. Coop-
erative marketing is the answer to
the age old complaint that the farm—

ers must sell at the buyer’s price and '

buy at the seller's price.

111 this connection, Mr. Peteete em-
phasized the fact that price must
have a definite relation to supply and
demand and consumer demand, and
that in the matter of being compelled
to accept the'buyer’s price, farmers
have not as much ground for com-
plaint as they think. At least this
has not been the case in the past as
they have had no agencies through
which they could exert any substan-
tial influence in the making of a fair
price on their commodities.

The remedy for the situation is a
commodity instead of a community
selling organization, federated over
the entire producing area of thepro-
ducts handled. Cooperative selling of
this character would then become a
,national industry in which the farm-
~ ,er members are the producing stock-
] , gmolders.

All must be organized in or-

Gives Delegates at Can’t/lac Some T fiougflt 072 C oapemtton

der that the products can be properly
merchandized. In his opinion pOOIing
will not be universal but ‘all will be
coordinated. Then states will not
compete with states in the same mar-
ket, but buyers will compete with
buyers for the product. These organ-
izations must be non-profit and truly
cooperative in character. All possible
economies and advantages must re-
vert to the members. The organiza-
tions must be democratic in control,
and as a basis of permanency should

include some form of binding contract

between the members and the organi—
zation. Mr. Peteete referred to this
as a partnership contract, for that is
essentially the nature of a coopera—
tive marketing organization. Con-
tracts between producers greatly aid
in financing the organization and en-
abling larger advances to growers at
the time of the delivery of their pro-
ducts. Given this kind of organiza-
tion as a national industry, then the
farmers are in a position to undertake
merchandising, which includes proper
standardization of their products.

In order to accomplish best results,
however, they must be as exacting as
sellers as they are as buyers. The
consumer is the farmer’s best friend,
and as farmers, we must be interest-
ed in providing a consumer with what
he wants, when he wants it, and how
he wants it. Such general organiza-
tions will also facilitate the extend-
ing of marketing for any product,
both as to time or the period over
which it can be marketed, and the

‘ places

in which it can be sold.
Merchandising farm prducts also

means selling'them according to sup—.

ply and demand at the point of con—
sumption rather than at the point of
production. Mr. Peteete’s opinion
was that 75 to 80% of the producers
in any given line must be properly
organized into a cooperative selling
organization before this ultimate end
can be realized. And this ultimate
end will not mean the arbitrary fix-
ing of a high price for food stuffs but
will give the organized growers a.
voice in the making of the price as
the largest operator in the field, the
same as is true in other industries at
the present time.

Loyalty among members of 3. mar-
keting organization was emphasized
as essential to its success. Directors
and managers of these organizations
should not be too severely criticised
for the mistakes which will be made,
so long as they tell the truth and
bend their honest efforts to the re-
alization of the ultimate and des-
cribed.

More efficient and economical pro-
duction is also important to the high-
est success, and in this connection
Mr. Peteete urged a close relationship
to the other agencies in the states
which afford education along this line.

In closing his address Mr. Peteete
looked beyond the dollar mark in the
development of farmers’ cooperative
enterprises, since after all it is not
the dollar we are after but What the
dollar stands for. He drew an allur~

 

 

 

BANKS HASTEN TO MEET

FARMERS’ NEEDS.

 

HE Federal intermediate credit

banks have loaned more than
three million dollars, according to a
statement made by Farm Loan Com-
missioner M. L. Corey to the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation “'ash—
ington office.

“These loans represent only a frac—
tion of the loans which should be
credited to the intermediate credit
act,” says Mr. Corey. “In the Pacific
Northwest, for instance, 'we had
agreed to advance five million dollars
to assist in the orderly marketing of
wheat, but when the local banks
heard of it they decided they would
make the advance themselves. The
intermediate credit bank was then
notified by the cooperative wheat
marketing agency that it would do
business With the local banks as long
as it could get credit easily.”

\

BONDS SELL QUICKLY.

 

UDGE CHARLES E. LOBDELL, fis-

cal agent of the Farm Loan Board,
announces that he has floated the, first
lot of bonds to be offered to the pub—
lic under the intermediate credit act,
amounting to $10,000,000. It was tak-
en at par by several large banks. As
these bonds bear 4% per cent inter—
est, the local banker who ‘obtains
mOney by re—discounting agricultural
papel with an intermediate c1edit
bank cannot cha1ge in excess of six
pe1 cent.

WORKING FOR LOWER RATE 'ON
EXPORT WHEAT. ‘

 

ENATOR CAPPER is urging a vol?

untary reduction of 25 per cent.

in freight rates on wheat and flour
for export. He has received assm-
ances from the Interstate Commerce
Commission that such reduction
- 1 ' H. r". I“ ~‘ .« f .

.currence of another

would be approved by the commis-
sion, and has taken up the matter
with the Western railway presidents.

“The farmers are dependent for re-
lief upon this voluntary action of the
railroads,” says Senator Capper, “be-
cause the commission would not order
a reduction without hearings which
would postpone final action until after
the wheat had passed out of the
hands of the farmers."

The foreign export outlook is very
bad, according to returning congress-
men and senators who have spent the
summer months investigating condi~
tions in England, France, Germany
and other European countries.

WEXFORD COUNTY PUTS ON
DRIVE.

 

HE directorate of 'the Wexford

County Farm Bureau is cooper-
ating, with the State Farm Bureau
under the personal direction of Al-
fred Bentall in planning a member-
ship drive to be started some time
the latter part of September. The
ball will be set in motion at a picnic
to be held at an early date. Neil
Martin has been selected as county
campaign manager. Performances of
the farm bureau of the county dur-
ing the past three years have been
such-as to assure the- success of this

. drive.

PLANS TO PREVENT ANOTHER
COAL- SHORTAGE.

 

N regard to the coal situation, it is

understood that plans have been
perfected which will prevent the oc-
fuel shortage
such as the country experienced last
year. The gadministration
ready to bring the-necessary pressure

to bear on the operators and miners, '
to compel them to keep the mines in'

operation, with; overnment operation ‘
' a last resort ’

   

stands '

ing word picture of the prosperity
which would come to the country if
all of the products grown on Ameri-
can farmscould beSold at fair prices,
resulting in a higher"Standard o'f liv-
ing and citizenship ail along the line.

President Curtis reviewed the work
of the organization and stated that in
his judgment the greatest achieve-
ment of the Association. was the im-
provement of the average quality of
the crop through the seed selection
and grading, which improvement he
estimated not toxbe less than;.90%. He
noted the beneficial legislation which
has been passed through the? efforts
of the- Association, notably the uni-
form price law.which prevents deal-
ers from giving a high price at one
loading point and counterbalancing it
by a correspondingly low price at an-
other. He prophesied that next year
the Exchange would handle 5,000 cars
of potatoes.

Manager Wells in his annual re«
port indicated that '109 locals shipped
potatoes through the Exchange last
year. Recommendations in his report
included aid to the local associations
as follows:

1, Volume—This could be insured by
binding contracts with the mem-
bers. Five year contracts were
recommended. As indicative of the
effects of the contract system, he
referred to the Barryton Associa-
tion which lost one-third of its

members when the contract system,

was adopted but got 100 percent
more volume than before.

2. In aid to the local associations in

elimination of losses, demonstra-
tions are .to be held for the benefit
of local members during the com-
ing winter as to the most eflicient
methods of warehousing and load—
ing. .,

3. Better methods of accounting in
which the exchange is prepared to
give aid.

Other features of the meeting which
cannot be touched upon in this report
will be treated later. _

The fellowing is the' sense of the
resolutions adopted:

1. Authorizing the sending of the ex.
change publication to each mem-
ber, deducting subscription price
from funds due local association.

2. Petitioning the Michigan Depart
ment of Agriculture to adopt the
U. S. standard grades and make
them compulsory in Michigan.

3. Petitioning the Michigan State De-
partment of Agriculture to provide

. funds and employ inspectors f01
loading point inspection of pota~
toes.

4. Endmsement of the California plan
of market organization based upon
the following basic principles:

1st—Lega1 acreage minimum in

this state.

2nd—Legal ironclad binding con-
tract. .

3rd—-—A state-wide seasonable

pooling system.
HIP—Organization under a long
term contract

5. Favoring the enactment of gasoline
tax for highway improvement.

6. Condemning State Administrative
Board for withholding extension
funds in M. A. C. as a usurpation
of the constitutional functions of
the State Board of Agriculture.

7. Voting confidence
Board of Agriculture in its recent
actions relating to College’s admin«
istrative affairs.

8. Expressing appreciation for the
work of the management of the ex-
change and pledging future loyalty.

9. Citation of laws making it obli-

Construction Day by Day

So great and so constant is the growth of demand for tele-
phone service that the Bell System invests throughout the
country an average of three-quarters of a million dollars every
working day for new telephone plant.-

New aerial lines are always under construction or extension.
new subWays are being dug and cables laid, larger building
accommodations are under way, more switchboards are in
process of building or installation, and added facilities of every
description being mustered into service to care for the half
million or more new subscribers linked to the System every year.

This nation-wide construction, this large expenditure of
funds, could not be carried out efficiently or economically by
unrelated, independent telephone organizations acting without
co—operation in different sections of the country. Neither could
it be carried out efficiently or economically by any one organiza-
tion dictating from one place the activities of all. In the Bell
System all the associated companies share common manufactur—
ing and purchasing facilities which save millions of dollars
annually. They share scientific discoveries and inventions, engi‘
neering achievements, and operating benefits which save further
millions. But the management of service in each given territory
is in the hands of the company which serves that territory and
which knows its needs and conditions.

By thus combining the advantages of union and co—operation
with the advantages of local initiative and responsibility, the
Bell System has provided the nation with the only type of
organization which could spend with efficiency and economy,
the millions of dollars being invested in telephone service.

OME fourteen years. ago George
.‘Priestly, a substantial farmer liv—
ing near Kalkaska, observed in his
field of Rural New Yorkers some" in-
dividual potatoes with russet skins.
These were so rare as to attract at-

planted in a seedplot. Their pro-
liflcness was sovpronounced that he
continued to grow them for two years
before the seed was offered to a house
in * Petoskey.

This, brieflly, is the modest manner
in which the now popular Petoskey
Rural Russett, which has contributed
so much to potato production in Mich-
igan, was developed. Mr. Pr/iestly’s
farm was visited last week by Michi—
gan potato growers while inspecting
potato fields in that section.

POTATO EXCHANGE ELECTS
OFFICERS.

N UCH interest was manifest
among delegates and potato
growers in general in the election of
three directors for the Michigan Pota-
to Growers’ Exchange at Cadillac last
Thursday. J. D. Robinson, of Lever—
ing, defeated Herbert F. Baker of
VVeadock, by a vote of 35 to 25. Henry
Curtis of Cadillac, was re-elected, and
J. L. Bussey of Provemont, was chos-
en to succeed A. B. Large ot' Traverse
City. Following the meeting of dele-
gates the directors re-elected officers
as follows: President, Henry Curtis;
vice—president, Fred Smith of Elk
Rapids; secretary, S. E. Rogers of
East Jordan; treasurer, 0. S. Wood 01."
Barryton; manager, C. C. Wells; sales
manager, George Wager of Edmore.
BUYERS SEEK MICHIGAN SEED
POTATOES.

 

 

 

N regards to the market for the

1923 crop of seed potatoes from
Michigan’s certified crop, it can be
stated that buying has already start-
ed with one deal l'or 50,000 bushels
reported. This was an order from a
lPennsylvania concern. The terms of
4119 sale guarantee the growers a min-
iimum of 65 cents per bushel for fall
ldelivery and 85 cents for spring de-
ilivery. The contract also protects the
jgrowers on a price of twenty percent
{above the current quotation for table
stock.

EXCHANGE DOES BIG BUSINESS.

 

report of Manager
the Michigan Potato
Growers’ Exchange shows a very
splendid, healthy growth during
the fifth year of its existence. The
figures give this as the biggest year
in the history of the organization,
lshipping 2,922 cars 01' 483 more than
’were sent out during the previous
iyear. The total amount of business
done for the year ending August 14,
aggregated $1,097,910.47. ‘

This remarkable showing was
made, declared the manager, in the
face of discouragingly low prices paid
'for potatoes throughout the past sea-
son. The market prices for the year
averaged about 60% of those for 1922,
the manager stated. Despite this the
Exchange was able to increase its re-
serve fund fro'm $42,000 to $50,000
and still hold a surplus of over $10,-
000 to turn back to the ideals.

Eight new locals were added to the
organization during the year. Mc
Bain Co-operative Marketing Associa-
tion led in the number of cars
shipped, having sent out 132 since'a
year ago.‘

CHANGES at the Mancelona Experi—

ment station which was placed

under the jurisdiction of the Agricul‘~
tural College. a year ago by the local 3
chamber of commerce, were a matter

of much comment among the potato

tourists who inspected the station in‘

1922. Real constructive work along
lines of farming for light soils and on

'building' up worn out lands as well.
as in fertilizers and potato demon-a

strations and alfalfa production are

VIDENCE from this season’s ex-

perience in the northern counties
suggests the advisability of changing
potato spraying recommendations in
so far as the Kedzie mixture for
poisoning bugs is concerned. Bugs;
are numerous this year and where
the Kedzie mixture was used at the
rate of one quart to 40 gallons of
water the bugs were made sick only,
but where the quantity of the mixture
was increased to one and one—half?
quarts to each 40 gallons ofvwater;
the results proved fatal to the bugs.

SPUD GROWERS GET CLEANER
CROPS.

 

OURISTS, who last week visited

many 01' the potato fields in
Michigan where certified stock is be«
ing grown, found that the educational
work being conducted by the exten~
sion men of the Agricultural College
is bearing fruit. The fields this year
Show less disease and the growers are
not only better informed as to the
nature of the various enemies of
tubers but are also prepared with
knowledge and equipment to combat
these foes.

HOPE FOR BETTER STANDING IN
THE MARKETS. ‘

ICHIGAN potato growers _ feel;

that something definite should
be done to place'the tubers grown :in
this state on a par with other s‘puds
in‘ the markets of the country.
year discriminatibn against Michigan
spuds resulted in a loss of fully a.
million dollars to. the growers.ot‘ the
state. It is probable that,,.legislation
establishing state grades along lines
of federal grades must be had before
much improvement can be made.
This has been done with our applies
and there can be no reason for not
extending the same protection to com-

 

, mercial potato growers.

To shirk chores because one would
rather work in the field has given us

1,000,000 acres to
winter wheat in 1922, but
only averaged 14 boshels to
the acre.

Older states like New
-Yorl<, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey averaged nearer

29 bushels.

With fertilizer of a high
potash content, an increased
yield on Michigan farms is
assured.

The Michigan Agricultural
Experiment Station, after count—
less experiments, knows that pot—
ash pays. In an experiment on a
corn, wheat and clover rotation
over a period of
three years, the
wheat yield was
increased from
29 to 34 bushels
by adding only
10% of Potash.

Will “more potash” pay
on dollar wheat?

350 pounds of 3-90 to the
note produced only 29 bushels.

Even with wheat at 80c this
increase of 5 bushels :is worth
$4.00 while the 10% of additional
potash that created the increase
cost but $1.87—-a real profit of
$2.13 per acre.

Potash ays. It is the starch

lengthens the head and increases
the count, but it makes harder,
plumper grain that will not
shrink in drying.

FAILURE WITH VETCH AND
‘ SUDAN GRASS. '

 

, I have been trying to get results
ifrom Sudan grass and winter vetch
but .so far have not been successful.
Perhaps you can tell us something of
the habits of these two seeds. Two
years ago, my first year in Michigan,
I drilled vetch with rye in the fall
and with cats in the spring, but it
amounted to nothing in either case as
only a few seeds sprouted. This sea-
son two of my neighbors sowed rye
and vetch from the same bin; one had
a good stand of vetch and the other
none though his rye yielded the best
in our neighborhood, so it seems to
not be cultural methods at fault. An-
other man says bet some years vetch
will germinate and others not till sec-
ond year. Last season we sowed, as
an experiment, a small piece of Sudan
grass. It came up nicely and after
getting 12 to 15 inches high the ex-
treme drouth apparently killed it, but
when the fall rains came it revived
and grew shoulder high, and was
greatly relished by the cows and
horses. We were quite elated and
this year we sowed 100 lbs. on five
acres and though we have had plenty
of rain will not get 500 pounds of hay,
and what did grow is on a side hill.
On none of the field did water stand
at or near the surface, so we are
at a loss to account for our crop of
rag weeds instead of hay. Our soil
‘ is a sand loam and has been poorly
formed for many years and something
must be done to bring it back. We
can’t raise much stock on it till we
can get more hay.——C. E.

For best results with winter vetch
the crop should be planted in late
August or early September, using
twenty pounds of vetch seed and one
bushel of rye. Michigan grown seed
of good germination should be used.
If grown for the first time on the
land being seeded it is necessary to
inoculate the seed. Culture for in—
oculation may be secured from the
Department of Bacteriology of the

 

LETTING BRAINS.

 

If a petition is signed by freehold-
ers to let a drain and they are told
the drain will be sold in hundred and
two hundred rod blocks, has the drain
commissioner a right to let the drain
entire to one person?—W. H. '

The statute provides that in letting
the drain the commissioner shall de-
scribe the several tracts or parcels
which shall constitute a special as-
sessment district for that purpose
and shall divide the route into con-
venient sections for letting such work
and mark each section by stakes and
numbers showing the length and
depth of each section and shall give
not less than ten days’ notice of the
time and place of letting the drain,
'which shall be at some convenient
place on the right of way of the
drain; which notice shall be served,
posted, and published at least twice
in one or more newspapers published
in the county, “Provided that it shall
not be necessary to subdivide any
tract or parcel beyond the point
where the whole thereof is within
such drainage district.”

Another section provides that the
drain commissioner shall thereupon
proceed to receive bids and let con-
tracts for the construction in sections
and 'make contracts with the lowest
responsible bidder giving adequate
security for the performance of the
work, and that "‘He shall first let the
section at the outlet of the drain,'and
shall let each remaining section in its
order up stream; provided that the
drain commissioner shall reserve the

MULCH FOR BERRIES.

 

The Fremont Canning Co. has made
a proposition-to the small fruit grow-
ers of this community that is likely
to result in muCh profit to the grow-
ers. They have offered to give the
growers free of cost the straw from
their lima beans if it be used for
mulching purposes on their berries.

Last year the company noticed
that gooseberry patches which were
.cultivated and worked early suffered
most from spring frost, and that
prompted them to try an experiment.
With the idea of holding back the
buds in spring, they put beaii straw

winter. The mulch was not put on
until after the ground had frozen
deeply and some snow had fallen. The
mulch was about six inches deep and
was placed completely around the
plants.

The mulch was left on in the spring
until the ground thawed out through
the covering, after which cultivation
was started. The result was that
there was ice around their bushes
after others had begun cultivating.
Their growth started .very late, and
the frost of May 9th did no damage.

This experience leads the company
to believe that early cultivation is a
serious mistake, and in the belief that
by following this same course, the
farmers can avoid the danger of late
spring frosts, they are making the
generous offer of. free mulching ma—
terial.~H. L. Spooner.

MICHlGAN FRUIT GROWERS JOIN
STATE ASSOCIATION."

 

HE members ofithe Grand Rapids
Growers’ Association, a large

and powerful organization of farmers,
have voted to join the Michigan
Growers incorporation Associations.
This organization had already signed
up to the St. Joseph Fruit Growers’
Association, the Lincoln Fruit Grow-
ers’ Association, the Sodus Fruit
Growers’ Association, the Paw Paw
Cooperative Association, the Bangor
Fruit Exchange, the South Haven
Fruit Exchange, and the Lawrence
Cooperative Company. In all, the six-
teen associations are now members
of the Michigan Fruit Growers Incor-
porated and will sign the marketing
contracts.
When organized, the Michigan
Fruit Growers will be a commodity
exchange Which will be affiliated With
the State Farm Bureau in the same
way as are the potato, live stock, el-
evator and milk producers exchanges.
It .is estimated that more than two
thousand cars of tree fruits, grapes
'and small fruits are under the sales
service contracts with the state or-
ganization. The state association
*will be affiliated with the Federated
fruit and vegetable. growers, through

In this age of close profit margins
you can’t afford to waste any of your
corn crop or waste labor in handling
it. About 3790 of the value of the
crop is in the fodder. ' Only 7/0 to

10% of it is usually saved. Save it
all and swell your profits. Cut or
shredded fodder is good feed. What

isn’t eaten makes good bedding that
absorbs valuable liquid manure and
builds soil. Save annoyance in clean-
ing stables. If you never pass up a
good bet, investigate this one. Stop
this proiit- leak in your corn crop.

MILKLEG.

 

Please tell me about milkleg. My

the large veins of the leg and is called
milkleg because it so often comes to
nursing mothers. In such cases it is
probably secondary to an infection
following childbirth. Rest in bed is
absolutely necessary and is the best
agent of cure. Probably the reason
your wife’s ~case lingers is because
she has been trying to do her work.

CAUSE OF PRESIDENT’S DEATH.

 

Please tell the difference between
a th10mbus and an embolus and say
which it was killed President Harding
and why such a thing should be so
dangelous —M. P.

A thiombus is a clot of blood form-
ing in a blood vessel and staying in
the location in'which it forms. If
this clot becomes dislodged from its
site and is carried into the general
circulation by the blood current, it is

——A. R. S.
The proper name for milkleg is,
phlebitis. It is an inflammation of

  

then an embolus. It may be forced
on through the blood stream until it
reaches some important location, per-
haps in the brain, and then forced in—
to a vessel of smaller caliber in such
a way as to lodge there and cut off
all circulation, possibly causing in-
stant death. Although I have not
read official reports of the physicians
who attended our late .President, I
gather from newspaper reading that
the immediate cause of death was an
embolus, probably carried from. a.
lesion in the lungs.

 

CURE OF PILES. ‘

 

Is it possible to cure piles without
a surgical operation?——— .R

Early cases of piles may often be
relieved by the use of good lubricants
and ointments if one is careful to
avoid all straining at stool. When the
pile tumor is fully organized, how-
ever, it is there to stay until removed.
A gnod doctor can generally inject a.
local anesthetic into the pile tumor
and remove it without making much
of a surgical operation of the job.

 

  

IGGING out the five best lettels

from the many sent in 011 meth-
ods of carrying the cows through the.
dry period was quite as embarrassing
as looking after a herd of thirty cows
Sunday night when the hired man
failed to show up. The following,
however, have been awarded the
prizes, while two other replies have
been retained to run as special ar-
ticles. Sorry all cannot win but hope
those who failed this time will try
again—The Handy Man.

 

SOY BEANS AND GRAIN HELP
THIS MAN.

 

HE cows giving a good flow

of milk, when short pastures
come, get an evening feed of green
soy beans. A grain mixture, consist‘
ing of one part bran,
dlings, two parts ground oats and
corn and one part oil meal, is fed at
the rate of six quarts per day in two
feeds. I planted Hollybrook soy
beans 28 inches apart and when about
eighteen inches high began feeding.
Last year I fed six head summer and
fall and took off nine loads of hay
from four acres of the soys.——H. A.
Townley.

USES SILAGE AND SWEET CORN.

 

0 keep up the flow of milk during

dry periods I provide silage, and
plant a patch of sweet corn. The
silage is fed night and morning and
the sweet corn at noon. The cows
are also given plenty of fresh water
and they are kept Where the pasture
is not too short—A. O. VanSickle.

GREEN PEA VINES MAKE THE
MILK FLOW.

 

UR custom is to plant sweet corn
or some other soiling crop for
the cows during dry Weather, but this
year the dry period struck us before
the corn was ready. We turned to
the pea crop by using the vines from
the viner. This was dried and stored
in the mow. With this was fed a
grain ration consisting. of three parts
wheat bran and one part corn meal

not wish to do without them.

‘, you have read it, of course.
Still, come to think, perhaps that is
assuming a good deal, for these days.
When President Roosevelt was in the
’White House he was asked by a
young society woman who his favorite
character in fiction was, and he re—
plied, Great Heart of the Delectable
Mountains. She said she guessed
that must be a recent novel she had-
n’t read. Barnabas is called a Great
Heart, by the committee on the In—
ternational Sunday School lessons,
and it is a good title, and it reminds
us of the original Great Heart of Pil-
grim’s Progress. When he first ap-
in Bunyan’s immortal dream,
he is described
thus: “SO they
went up the hill
till they came in
sight of the lions.
Now Mr. Great-
Heart was a
strong man; so
he was not afraid
of a lion; but yet
when they were come up to the place
where the lions were, the boys that
went before were glad to cringe be-
hind, for they were afraid of the lions.
“Now, as they'went up, Mr. Great-
heart drew his sword with intent to
make a way for the pilgrims in spite
of the lions. Then there appeared
one that it seems had taken upon him
to back the lions; and he said to the

pears

 

pilgrims’ guide, ‘What is the cause
of your coming 'hither‘?‘ Now the
name of that man was Grim, or

Bloody-man, because of his slaying of
pilgrims, and he was of the race of
the giants.” If Barnabas lives up to
the name of Bunyan’s Great-heart, he
will do well.

HERE is a great significance in
Bible names. Have you ever
thought that one’s nick-name is im-

_ portant? It usually has more meaning

than one’s real name. Boys follow the
practice of nick-naming each other re—
ligiously. One boy is called Slim be-
cause he is short and fat, another Fat-
ty because he is built like a bean-pole,
and a third receives the poetic cogno—

abraham, the father of many nations.
Jacob is changed to Isreal, a prince,
while Simon is _ honored by being
called Peter, a rock. .And James and
John are eager, fiery souls, and are
y-clept “Sons of Thunder.” And the
lesson is Joseph,
though heis never called by that
name. He is nick-named “Barnabas,
the son of exhortation.” He lived up
to the name. It is surprising how
much the Bible can phrase in a few
words. In describing Barnabas, it
says, “He was a good man, and full
of the Holy Ghost and of faith.” Can
that be beaten for fullness of state-
ment and conciseness of expression?
“'hat more do you want to know?
The essential characteristics of the
man are given. How tall he was,
whether hehad black hair, red or any
hair at all, are interesting ’questions,
naturally, but they do not make or
unmake, the man. The Old Testament
says, “Keep thy heart with all dili-
gence, for out of it are the issues of
life,” and the New put it, “Out of the
abundance ,of the heart the mouth
speaketh,” which goes to show that
the inner life of the man,'the motives,
are everything. That sounds
preaching, and it is preaching. It is
good preaching that defies refutation.

. -' ' Our Weekly Sermon—By N. A. Mchme

Bible names mean,

like _

  

unto the Lord.” That was the neces-
sary thing, keep close to the Lord.
Now that, too, sounds terribly old-
fashioned. Some way we seem tO ex—
pect that Barnabas should have given
them long lectures on doctrine; or he
should have told them to get busy ‘nd
do something about feeding the poor;

or they should have a handshaking'

committee at the door, so that no one
who came to church would go away
and say they were not welcome; or
he should above all things, have urged
them to take all the collections, so
that the church could make a fine re-
port. at the end of the year; or he
should have lectured them on church
publicity, and the use of the news-
papers and billboards. But no, he ex-
horted them that they would cleave
unto the Lord. Why? Because these
matters of which we have spoken
were unnecessary, or bad? No, but
because the greater includes the less.

The church that cleaves to the Lord
will not be blind nor indifferent to
its other duties. , All through the New
Testament Christ is exalted as the
One high over all. The new life
means to know Him, follow Him, and
love him. He is the way, the truth
and the life. He is the light that
lighteth every man that cometlL into
the world. Hence the best, most profi—
table thing any Christian can do is to
keep a very close acquaintance with
this living and triumphant Lord.

It works just as beautifully now as
it did in the days of Barnabas. As
Alexander Maclaren, one of England’s

greatest preachers said,~ “Barnabas
did not despise organization, nor
orthodoxy, nor practical righteous—

ness, but he knew that all three, and
everything else that any man needed
for his perfecting, would come, if
only the converts kept near to Christ,
and that nothing else was of any use
if they (lid not."

NOTE that he urged the good folk
of Antioch to be steadfast. to
stick to their profession to' the end.
To my mind one of the most. fearful
sayings of Christ was this: “He that
endureth to the same shall be saved.”
And that. is the only way to be saved
in anything. Letting down an anchor
that almost reaches bottom will not
keep the ship from drifting. Keeping
on attending high school until within
three weeks of the end of the last
year, will not graduate one. An op-
eration that very nearly saves the pa—
tient’s life can hardly be called suc-
cessful. Being a Christian for thirty-
two years and then getting tired Of it,
and not attending church any more,
will not measure up to “he that en-

dureth.” Enduring to the end is en-
during to the end. It means staying
by.

Barnabas was “full of faith." That
is easy to say, not so easy to be. But
he was the first to give away his
property and turn the proceeds into
the common fund. Others followed his
example. That does not mean, we
take it, that Christians ought to be
communists, but it was thought best
for the first Christian community. A
modern man, Francis Crossley, of
Manchester, was making money as a
manufacturer, but chose to give his
life in service to the poor of the city,
and the proceeds of his business for
the same purpose. The old spirit of
Barnabas is not dead. Americans
might be named who have done the
same thing. It. is the spirit of their
deed that lives.

Telling Children Stories

~A Mot/zer’r Experience
By Nelle Portrey-

HAT sort of bed-time stories do
W you tell to your children; and

what sort of an impression do
they make on the little tots? Do you
sometimes wonder why the longer
you .tell your little son or daughter
stories the wider awake they become?
If this is the case, you may be sure
that there is a very good reason for
it. What kind of stories do your
children ask for? One is safe in as-
suming that'if the child is acquainted
with Little Red Riding Hood, Jack
the Giant Killer, etc., that they are
his favorite stories.

But have you a1-

it seemed he could not get it out of
his mind. I did not get much mean-
ing from his rather incoherent ver-
sion, but I know the story was full
of be—headings, giants and ogres, and
that it was not fit for any child’s
mind. It was with difficulty that I
interested the child in a simple little
nature story.

Perhaps the child’s teacher is not
to blame as she is only a girl and
this is her first school. .Anyway, our
little brother took some stories to
school with him the next day—~just
such stories as he is used to having

 

 

A Bit

lowed the child to become acquainted
with these characters of story—lore‘.f
A friend once complained to me
that the longer she told her little
daughter “good-night” stories the wid-
er awake she became. “The more
stories I tell her, the more she
.Wants,” the mother complained. “She
-wants tales of ogres and giants and
QIndians, and she won’t go to sleep
without them—and she can’t go to
sleep with them, sometimes ’till ten
o’clock. And she gets so nervous that
she often cries out in her sleep.”

Although a woman of unusual in—
telligence, she did not seem to realize
that it was the sort of stories she told
to her little daughter that caused the

sleeplessness. Suppose that she had
told the child stories 01' a soothing
'nature? You know there are stories

of that sort-stories that have a repi—_

tition of soft, drowsy sounds that
naturally have the effect of produc-
ing sleepiness. Or, if she preferred,
she might have told the little one
stories that, even though they did not
have the effect of producing sleepi-
_ness, may be told at bedtime, with
perfect safety. In fact, any story that
‘does not contain the least element of
fear may be safely told. But if a
,mother desires that her child shall
.sleep well, she should never tell him,
.or allow him to be told, stories that
frighten him. Such stories are also
poor brain-developers.

‘ Only a few‘eyenings ago our little
brother, seven years old, began after
he had been put to bed, to tell the
story that his teacher had read to his
' class in school that day. It was hard
,to get him interested in any other
story. The “teacher’s story” had
* such an impression on him that

told and read to him—and the teacher
seemed pleased to get them, and to
prove it, read them aloud to the class.
And as a result brother did not have
any difficulty in keeping his mind on

his own good-night story when he
went to bed. His little mind was not
full of l1 0 r r i b l e, fear-instilling

thoughts, and by the time my story
was finished, he was ready to go to
sleep.

THE CITY GUEST.

HAVE been reading with some

amusement and a great deal of
sympathy your account of the
Brown’s city visitors. My pity, how-
ever, was not aroused because of the
visitors but because of the Brown’s
attitude towards the event. Do I
ever have city visitors? Indeed, I do!
But maybe they are not of the same
variety that visits Sister Brown.

My city guests are greeted with
glad words and happy smiles and they
are not just surface words and smiles
put on for the occasion either. If a
thought is given to the .cases of
strawberries and what not in the cel-
lar, it is not of hiding them but they
bring a joyful thought that these
good things are ready to feed these
loved guests whose arrival is not'a.
calamity but an event of joy to the
whole. family.

As to the matter of entertainment,
that is very simple; these guests are
friends whom‘we haven’t seen for
months. We are glad to spend a great

 

‘deal of the time ‘just in “visiting”- in

the true meaning of the word.
The little folks from the city find
much pleasure in the hay mows and

They love to catch 5’ regs

in the creek and ride horse back.
My city visitors think it is no hard-
ship to help with the extra cooking

and dish washing, bed making and
sweeping and as “many hands make
light work,” it is soon done.

One can usually find sleeping room
for everybody but if there happens to
be a few boys left over, as quite often
occurs at our house, who ever heard
of a bunch of boys that didn’t‘con-
sider a long bed on the floor or a
soft bed in the nay-mow a regular
lark.

A couple of auto cushions laid side
by side and covered with blankets
makes an excellent bed for

small ‘

children. ‘

So, though I have no desire to run
a free summer hotel, heres to our
city visitors.~—“HETTY.”

WITH . twenty-one years’ experi-
’. en‘c’e'vin Working for the haying,
harvesting and other necessary crews
in running a farms-I find much relief
in practicing the following labor sav«
ers in my work:

I find “An hour in the morning is
worth two‘ in the afternoon.” By
early rising I Can have my baking
all done ‘by the time breakfast is over,
while it is still cool. .

I. like to see axwhite oil cloth on my
dining table. When new, I wash it
rubbing it well with yellow laundry
soap, which prevents cracking. It is
wiped clean after each meal, and
saves washing table linen.

I do not iron sheets, pillow cases,
towels or knit underwear. The
clothes smell much fresher if not
ironed and much labor is saved.

I boil enough potatoes for three
meals at one time. Then it is easy
to make salad or fry the cold po-
tatoes. ~

These hot busy days is when I ap-
preciate having my meat all cooked
in my cans and ready for use, thanks

to the instructions given for cold
packing in the Michigan Farmer.

Another way to keep potatoes or
vegetables warm, is to place towel
over top of vessel and put cover on.
Towel absorbs moisture and cover
keeps the contents hot and fluffy.

 

Red or purple cabbage makes a
delicious salad. Use a sour cream
dressing, with the usual mustard.
salt, pepper and Vinegar mixture, add
a dash of sugar and paprika.

GERANIUM DON’T BLOOM.

 

 

Have a Martha Washington geran-

It", by the name, “Martha \Vashing-

group of geraniums is meant, the fol-
lowing treatment should induce the
plants to blossom.

Geraniums of this class are at their
best in May, although they may br-
eaused to blossom as early as Easter,
or may continue until the latter part
of June. When July comes on. they
should be set out in the full sun and
given ‘only moderate amounts of wa-
ter, just enough to keep them from
wilting, which must be avoided, how-
ever. The older leaves will gradually
turn yellow and fall off. In Septem-
ber the weak and soft shoots should

be removed, leaving the firm, thor-'

oughly ripened growth. The plant
should then be taken out of the pots
and repotted in a compost, not very
rich, and then given a good soaking.
They should be placed where they are
not too warm and should be kept wa-
tered, but not very wet. They must
be protected from the frost.

In January they should be repotted
with a very'rich compost or, they
could be given some liquid fertilizer,
remembering that it is not well to
have this too concentrated. During
the coldest part of the winter water
should be given only sparingly, but
with the re-pottingat the end of Jan-
uary or the additiOn of liquid fertiliz-
er, they can be watered more freely.

Weak shoots may well be rubbed
off, leaving only the more vigorous
shoots to develop until the flower
stems begin to show along toward tlie
«end of February or in March. Flow—
ering may begin as early as March,

but usually is at its best in May. or

60 Cents and 75 Cents—
Price of Dependable Champions

The price of Champion X is but 60 cents
and the Blue Box Line 75 cents because
of Champion’s tremendous production’of
more than 125,000 spark plugs every
working day.

Because 65 per cent of all spark plugs made
are Champions, great economies in manu-
facturing are possible. These are passed
directly on to the engine owner.

For motor car, truck, tractor or stationary
engine, a full set of Champions gives much
better performance and saves oil and gas.

And yet Champion prices are lower, even
though it is a better spark plug.

At dealers everywhere. A type and size for every
engine. The genuinq,has the Double-Ribbed core

Dear Uncle Frank:
As I am very much interested in
club work among the boys and girls,

-I would like to ask a‘ question. See-

ing you do not care to answer .cor—
rectly regarding your age, I will ask
you what I consider a mOre important
question. Are the boys belonging to
the club allowed to smoke cigarets?
There is not a club of this kind in'
our locality, and it does seem a great
wrong to see the young boys puffing
their young lives away when we do
know the bad effects it has on them.
It really is a disgrace to hear some
of the older men who like it so well
themselves, uphold the Devil’s dope.
Now if you use them yourself,

 

Margaret Beckwith, Kalamazoo, R. 5,
With Her Cousins, Carroll and
George Abby.
please throw this letter in the waste
basket, for it is apt to bother your
sweet dreams of peace. But. I do
hope Uncle Frank is vold—fashioned
enough not to use Went—“Your niece,

Rose Anna May.

P. S. I am a mother of three child-
ren, one a boy three months old, and
1am only trying to do for the young
boys what some mother would do for
mine in the future.

I must answer this letter or Rose
Anna May will have a wrong impres-
sion of me. The fact that I ans‘Wer
it is an indication that in many ways
I am not favorableito tobacco. I be-
lieve it may be efficiently used for
killing insects, but it is not fulfilling
a good purpose when being used for
making human beings slaves of Lady
Nicotine. \ '

I believe that no one who has an
undepraved appetite likes tobacco,
but many, many boys keep on trying
to smoke or chew because they-think
they can’t be men until they learn.
It is not by any means a manly essen-
tial, but it often takes real manliness
to stand the gibes of the boys who are
stunting themselves by acquiring the
habit. They are to be pitied for their
wrong conception of what real, clean,
manly enjoyment is.

I certainly would regret to learn
that any Merry Circlor smokes, for
the Merry Circle stands for better
boys and girls, and smoking and other
bad habits do not help to make them.
It is never a handicap to be clean and
decent except where indecency pre-
vails, and no good Merry Circler
wants to be there. Young folks who
want to be their own bosses will
never start habits which will make
them slaves.

I often tell those who offer me a
smoke that I have never gotten old
enough to learn to smoke. I have
never been gibed because I refuse
but very often I_ am told that I am
not missing anything and am a. lot
better off without it.

Parents can help their children
greatly by imparting to them the con-
ception of what real, clean and whole-
some living is, and a desire (to live
that way. The parents’ influences
should be strong enough to counter-
act the evil influences which come
from the outside.

Dear Ilncle Frank: - ‘ . . ‘

so much more, if they only had some-
thing of their own. I learned that
this spring when I decided to raise a
pig. It certainly was a successful ven-
ture until I gave it unmashed potatoes
and it .choked‘on one. (A warning to
all who contemplate raising swine).

I think it’s nice for boys and girls
in the rural schools to play baseball
together, since there aren’t enough
pupils for each to play apart.

The Merry Circle ought to do some-
thing, I think. As it is, smiling and
answering contests won’t getus any—
where. I wish someone_w0uld sug-
gest something—Your loving niece,
Polly Svenicky, Stephenson, Mich.

We are always open for Merry Cir-
cle suggestions. It’s going to keep on
growing. There will be interesting
developmepts later on. ’

Dear Uncle Frank:

I really enjoyed the bobbed hair and
knicker question. I like bobbed hair
and knickers and no one can change
my mind.

Say, Uncle Frank, what do you think
of a boy fifteen or sixteen years of
age that smokes? I’ll say he hates
himself quite a bit, and they look so
foolish—which they are. I never
smoked and never intend to.

I have a brother that goes to dances
and it makes him provoked to see a
bunch of young men drunk. It makes
me “sore” at some of my pals to hear
them say in a- very proud- voice,
“We’d be just fine and dandy if we
only had some hooch.”

Now, isn’t it disgusting? Well, I
guess I’ll close.——Sincerely yours,
Clement Battle, Paris, Mich.

You express my sentiments about
smoking and “Hooch.” So many boys
think they are acting manly to act
that way, whereas, I‘ think it shows

real manliness to do your best to be
clean and decent. Nicotine and alco-

hol have done nobody any good, but
have done serious harm.

Dear Uncle Frank:

I have often wished I belonged to,

the Merry Circle Club, but I didn’t
know anyone could join or how‘ old
they must be. Will you please tell me?

: 2 Singing is Half the Joy

The songs you like best to hear, sung by some
. loved vorce, to yourown softly-accented, perfectly-
timed accompaniment on a Gulbransen. There's
genuine enjoyment for you!
Select your song rolls from the hundreds upon
hundreds available, with the words already
1 printed on them. The key they are pitched in
doesn’t matter. Too high? Too low? Just turn a
knob. The Gulbransen instantly transposes.

An ordinary song roll may be played as a splendid and cor-
rect accompanying number, on the Culbransen. The difficult
fingering is taken care of by the roll. Through the pedals you
rcgisler your touch, your time, your expression, following exactly
the interpretation given the song by the vocalist.

Four simple Instruction Rolls — exclusive
with the Culbransen —show a method of cor-
rect playing. Bear this in mind, too: you can play
any make of roll, even electric reproducing rolls,
on your Culbransen.

FOREMAN olscusscs LAYING“
HENS. ‘

T the meeting of the Poultry Pro-
ducers’ Association at the col-
lege, Prof. Foreman stated that hot
weather is harder on the hen’s appe-
tite than cold weather and so it is
often more difficult to keep. up egg.
production in the summer than in the
winter. Among other interesting
points were the following: The av-
erage hen goes broody four times per
year and some hens will go broody
nine times in a. year. -
A one finger spread of the hen’s
pelvic bones means a dormant ovary.
The crow headed hen ’has a shallow
skull and is apt to produce slow
feathering chicks. Some‘crow headed
hens may be intelligent and have the
laying temperature and produce 150
eggs per year. Pullets that lay too

vtural College, in speaking to the Mich;

igan Poultry Producers? Association,

stated that the egg consumption in the A

city of Toronto last year was over
500,000 cases. «.Torontophas a popula—
tion of 450,000 people. Inlother words,
each Citizen in Toronto consumes on

an average of over a case of eggs per.

year, or over an egg a day. This con-
sumptiOn has been increased from- less
than two-thirds of. an egg per day.
This, Piofessor Graham went on to
say, is the outcome of a better product
being placed on the market. All Tor-
onto’s eggs are graded. _ 'While we are

not yet in a position to grade all our.

eggs it is-hoped that-through the cf-
forts of the new state organization
this will be made possible.

We can do our share, however, in
building up the quality of our eggs.
Just as soon as the breeding season is

 

~ .

    

 

early are apt to be too refined. They
may become very light and then go
broody and not lay until their normal
weight is regained.

An active disposition and fine diges-
tive apparatus, are necessary if a hen
is to produce a. large number of eggs.
The ability to lay does not depend
so much on the breed as on the char-
acter of the individuals. This is prov-
en by the variety of breeds which
Prof. Foreman has selected for poul-
trymen to enter in laying contests and
the records they have made. He un-
doubtedly has the facts to prove the
practical value of selecting heavy
layers along the lines he recummends.

At the college the Scotch Leghorns
took 3 months longer to mature than
the American Leghorns. A salmon
pink color of the heads and wattles
is sometimes a better sign of a heavy
layer- than a fiery red. The Barred
Rocks that come into maturity too
early are apt to lose in size. An early
maturing cockerel may throw too
many over-refined pullets. ,_

In the college pedigree work with
Rhode Island Reds they! found a. 2-20
egg hen Whose daughters produced
an average of 200 eggs. The eggsjof
some exhibition Leghorns were a tri-
fle‘ under the normal two ounce
weight. The 302 egg Barred Rock
hen laid a long narrow egg which was
rather light. It is evident that poul-
“trymen are now realizing the Value

as the quantity produced.

This is the. sieastm-of‘ bad eggs. Eggs
will incubate at temperatures above

‘WILL POULTRY BE OVER-

CCORDING to Dr. Kent we are a.

long ways from an overproduc-
tion of poultry meat andheggs. He he—
lieves that more tasty eggs will rap-
idly increase consumption. In discus-
sing breeding work he says it is not
necessary to trapnest more than 10
to 20 pm cent of the birds. Then ‘do
not breed from an inferior biid just
because of her high record. The qua].—
ity of the eggs is important as well
as the number. -

Dr. Kent reports that trapnestlng .

has sometimes resulted in small birds,
small eggs and poor butchers. Each

year a larger number of farmers, will

depend on the hatcherie's. They want

quality chicks that will live and grow -

OWNS BEST COW IN MICHlGAN’S
TESTING ASSOClATlON. -

 

 

M. STEWART "of Inkster, Mich—

‘ .3 ' - igan, had the high cow in both
milk and butterfat production in
Michigan Cow Testing Association
work. This cow, Detroit Pontiac
Pietertje No. 391047, made 20, 548 lbs.
of milk and 663.4 lbs of fat for the
cow testing association year in the
Wayne county C. T. A., according to
Mr. J. H. Mathiesen, cow tester. Mr.
Mathies’en mentions that this cow
was milked four times daily for five
months of her- lactation period and
three times daily for five months. She
was dry for two months.

Detroit Pontiac Pietertje consumed
during her year’s lecord 12, 336 lbs. of

' ' silage, 714 lbs. of beet pulp, 3,704 lbs.
oflalfalfa, 310 lbs. of molasses, 834
lbs. of oil meal, 1,614 lbs. of gluten
feed, 477 lbs. of corn and cob meal,
1,331. lbs. of ground oats, 2,645 lbs. of
middlings and bran mixed, 124 lbs. of
cotton seed and 862 lbs. of commer-
cial feed. The total cost of feed was
$211.42 and the total value of product
was $403.25, leaving a return above
feed cost of $191.83.

In addition to having the high cow
in both milk and butterfat production,
Mr. Stewart also has the high herd
average completed on four purebred
Holstein cows. This average is 17,449
lbs. of milk and 561.17 lbs. of fat.

The second highest herd went to
Mr H M Atwater of the West Alle-
gan C T. A. Mr. Atwatel, with four
purebled Jerseys, avelaged TO, 066 lbs.
of milk and 531 lbs. of buttelfat. M1.
Atwater has, for a number of years,

r . been very carefully breeding up a

small but high-class herd of Jerseys.

The results that he has obtained, in-

dicate the success of good feeding and

breeding in obtaining a high-class
dairy herd.

Other herds that follow in the sum-l
maries for a year’s C. T. A. work are‘

. Mr. C. S. Stuart of the South Van
Buren Cow Testing Association with
' five purebred Holsteins averaging 12,-
' 633 lbs of milk and 464.7 lbs. of fat.
Mr. Sam Park of the Lapeer C. T. A.,
with ten grade Guernseys and Jer-
seys, averaged 8,281 lbs. of milk and
462.9 lbs. of fat. Mr. A. C. Reek of
the same association, with ten pure-
bred Holsteins, averaged 12,311 lbs.
of milk and 441.7 lbs. of fat.

JERSEY BREEDERS HOLD CLEAN-
UP AND CHEER-UP WEEK.

 

OR the third successive year the
i' ’ Jersey Breeders of America have
planned a big National Jersey Week

' from September 3 to 8 inclusive.
The object of the leaders in the
Jersey movement- is to get everybody
o , thinking about Jerseys during that
week. Various methods of accom-
plishing this are being projected. The
merits of Jerseys -and their products
will be emphasized in individual and
cooperative advertising. Newspaper
publicity, window displays, lantern
‘ slides and moving pictures will all be
enlisted to get for this great dairy
breed of cattle some of its merited

appreciation.

HIS cow belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon T.

Warren of Dimondale, Mich. Last winter
they were feeding their own grains and attempting
to balance them with cottonseed meal. Having a
few cows on test and looking for the best feed,
they started feeding Milkmaker, with a result that
the cow shown above broke the Eaton County
Cow Testing Association record by producing
93.53 lbs. of butterfat in 30 days. The whole
herd increased its production. Mr. Warren says:

“Soon after feeding Milkmaker we discovered we
were getting better results and saving money. If we
had fed it throughout the entire test period last
winter, I am Convinced our records would have
been better. We plan to depend entirely on Milk-
maker next winter.”

What Milkmaker Is

Michigan Milkmaker is a 24% protein, public
formula dairy feed made by the Michigan State
Farm Bureau. It is the best dairy ration for
Michigan. Every one of the 10 milk-making in—
gredients is listed on every bag, pound for pound,
You know exactly what you are buying. Not an
ounce of filler in Michigan Milkmaker.

Cows Nfed Milkmaker give more milk and are
healthier and stronger animals,—-and your feed
costs are lower.

Breaks County Test Record

How to Feed Milkmaker Next Winter
at Summer Prices

You can contract now your winter feed requirements
of Milkmaker through the Farm Bureau, for delivery in
equal monthly shipments from September through
March at summer feed prices. The price to you is
guaranteed. Last February many wise buyers were
feeding Milkmaker at September low prices and saving
from $10 to $12 per ton. Last year Michigan farmers
fed more than 8,000 tons of Milkmaker.

Pay for Milkmaker as You Get It

Under this plan the Farm Bureau buys Milkmaker
ingredients in huge volume at summer low prices, mixes
them at the best mill in the country and delivers Milk—
maker fresh to you every month as you want it. You

pay for the feed as it is delivered. This plan enables you .

to buy your winter feed at the lowest prices; it relieves
you of a big cash outlay, storage expense, and insures
fresh feed.

Your'local co—operative association will contract your
Milkmaker requirements, same as last year. See your
local manager at once and arrange for your supply.
If you have no co-operative association, write our Pur-
chasing Department for information on how to co—
operate with your neighbors in buying carlots of Milk-
maker for car—door delivery. Write for our booklet on
Milkmaker and feeding suggestions.

The time for this
offer is limited. Later

SELECT YOUNG .EWES I'WITH RE.
SPECT‘ TO MILKING CAPACITY.

 

 

EVERY flock owner undoubtedly has
observed at: weaning time that
some lambs in the flock have made
more rapid growth than others. These
lambs are always the pride of the
owner and he wishes that all the
lambs were as lurge and line as the
best
The business of breeding ewes.
apart from growing a profitable crop
of wool, is to produce strong healthy
lambs and keep them growing until
weaning time. .
Breeding ewes vary decidedly in
their capacity to produce a large flow
of milk. Subsequently at weaning
time there is a lack of uniformity in
the lamb crop despite the fact that

 

will be the second sale of the Thumb
Hereford Breeders’ Association. which
these breeders hope to make I]. ran]
educational'event. A. plcnlo dinner
will be held immediately following
the sale on August 31.

 

NEW STATE ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED.

REEDERS of the Ohlo Improved
Cheater White Swine met in
Flint. on August 11th, and organized
the Michigan State,0. l. C. Associa»
tion, adopting as their slogan “100%
0. I. C’s.” About 50 breeders were
present from all parts ‘of the state in
addition to several officers of the
national organization. .
The morning session was opened
with an address of welcome by C. W.

 

 

 

the lambs were all dropped about the
same time and the ewes given equal
attention throughout the suckling
period.

This variation in the growth and
development. of the lamb crop’ls in
a. large, measure due to the milking
capacity of the ewes. Dairymen long
ago recognizml the variation in the.
milk production of individuals in the
herd. Flock owners must profit
thereby and direct attention to the
selection of breeding stock of large
milk production.

Physical comformation, as in the
. dairy cow, may in a measure direct
the flock owner in the upgrading of
his flock,‘ but the test of a ewe’s
milking capacity is best evidenced in
the growth and development of her
off-spring. Ewes’ lambs retained to

from deep milking ewes that have

suckled their lambs well ‘and encour-

aged large bone and flesh growth.

proceeded" , to ,Reo. Richard’s,
'JOseph‘ Witt'l, and ‘Felix ‘Witt‘s
breeding establishments. In Hills-
dale County, the good herds of J. T.

= Fox, I. K.Maystead and F. E. Haynes

were inspected. At the latter place,
supper was served on the lawn.

The following day the autos nosed
their way to, the farms of: Fay Borner,
W. E. Livingston, and W. S. Wood &.
Sons of Jackson County. The last
two gentlemen served the visitors to
dinner. In Eaton County, Dr. Chas.
Stimson, Chas. Garant, Howard Riley,
Albert Towe and Kenyon Brothers re-
ceived the party. The Ioni'a County
Poland China Breeders’ Association
entertained the nomads at an evening
banquet, in which a number of inter-
esting addresses were given. The fol-
lowing morning, while the dew was
yet on, the herds and farmsteads of
Ernest Barnard, Wesley Title, and Z.
D. Gregory, were on the visiting list.

Gratiot County came next on the
program, and. here the afternoon was
spent calling at the homes of Charles
VVetzel, Archie Ward, H. M. Jeffries,
Eldred Clark, Clyde Fisher, and Wm.
O'Bryant. Throughout tho trip. dom-
onstratlons of type Were given. The
Central Michigan Poland China Brood-
ors' Association, of St. Louis, gave a
banquet in the eyening at which Prof.
Brown, of the M. A. 0., ,ialked on
typo and left the impression that. the
packers are seeking a medium smooth
hog.

The tourists were especially inter-
t-sted in the splendid work being done
by the Central Michigan broodcrs,
who they predict, are on the way to
forming one of the strongest. pure-
bred hog sections in the state.

DUROC BREEDERS TOUR.

HE second week in August fur-

nished the season’s outstanding
event in Duroc Jersey circles. Tours-
by counties, covering four days, and
arranged and conducted by four coun-
ty agents, with ,picnic dinners and
after-dinner speeches featuring each
day’s drive, is the story in brief.

Lenawee, Hillsdaie, Branch, and
Shiawassee Counties provided the
herds for inspection, three dozen of
them. And each herd had it's lesson
to teach. Students of pedigree got an
eye full of Sensations, Defenders,
Pathfinders, etc., and had their faith
in good blood lines greatly strength-
ened.

Breeders with an eye to correct
form learned that uniformly arched
backs, smooth, deep sides, straight,
strong feet and legs, and neat. heads
could not be expected in the offspring
unless sires and dams of the'correct
type were used. Advocates of the
corn-crib cross also found demonstra-
tions sufficient to confirm their belief
in the importance of good food in
liberal quantities.

Approximately two hundred people

were in attendance at one time or an-
other and made friendly acquaintance
with other breeders and with the Ag-
ricultural College, the American Dur-
oc Association, the Duroc Bulletin,
the Michigan Farmer, and local asso-
ciations, through their respective rep-
resentatives.
" Discussions, formal and informal,
brought out many interesting facts‘ in
regard to the hog business in general
and the Duroc business in particular,
while games of “barnyard golf,” dif-
ferences of opinion in hog judging,
and picnic dinners lent spice to the
occasion that will incline the partici-
pants to want to do it again next
year.—-—'Pope.

SENDING DOLLARS AFTER
FERTILIZERS.

food elements which are needed‘or at
least not in the proper proportion.
Some plant. food elements'eost many
times the value of others and if the
percentage of such an element is in-
creased unnecessarily, the prime of
the fertilizer may be much increased
with but little, benefit. to the pun
chaser.

The first thing a farmer should do
in selecting a fertilizer is to look at
the analysis on the bag and see that
the plant food elements desired are
present in the required proportions.
Next is the matter of price in relation
to the plant food values. The larger
amount of plant food contained, the
higher the price, but. generally the
more economical the purchase since
more of the price goes to pay for the
plant food. if two i'ortiliZers contain
the plant foods desired in about tho
right proportions, but one is a high
grade or high analysis mixture while
the other is a low grade or low analy-
sis mixture, the high grade goods
should be selected.

acres reported last December, a re
duction of 15.5 per cent and the small-
est since 1914;
' Harvest is too near completion for
adverse influences to affect growth
materially, but rains in the middle-
west and southwest have damaged
wheat in the shock, increasing the
percentage of low grades which are
likely to be fed in large amounts.

Evidently the amounts contracted
for export in the last two months
were much larger that perported as
clearances from North America are
averaging about 1,000,000 bushels for
each week day in spite of the fact
that foreigners have been canceling
moderate quantities during the last
few weeks. There is some liklihood
that Canadian legislation interfering
with lake shipping will make it diffi—
cult to fill export sales of Canadian
wheat and may help prices in our
markets materially.

RYE

The new crop of rye in the United
States plus the visible supply when
the crop year started is about 17 per
cent less than a year ago. Our ex-
ports last year were the largest ever
known and about 65 per cent larger
than the domestic consumption. Cana-
da reports a decrease of 4,000,000
bushels in her crop. Europe, outside
of Russia, has about 600,000,000 bush-
els more than last year and a Depart-
ment of Agriculture representative
recently reported the sale of 13,000,-
000 bushels of Russian rye to Ger-

many.

Whether receipts will remain large
enough without a further advance in
price to keep the demand satisfied un-
til new corn is available is a question.
The crop prospect appears to be bet-
ter than when the last government
estimate was compiled.

OATS

Oats prices have become adjusted
to the new crop movement which
thus far is not above normal for this
time of year. Demand hasincreased

to some extent at the lower prices
prevailing. ANS -
Bean prices rallied sharply last

week and are quoted at $5.75 to $6
per 100 pounds for choice handpicked
whites f. o. b. Michigan
points. The old crop is well cleaned
up in that state as well as the. west
while demand has improved slightly.
Most important of all, the new crop
in Michigan is being damaged by dry
weather, so that the rosy prospects of
two weeks ago has been shaded con-
siderably. If rains arrive in the next
few days a large crop will still be
produced. . '

The Michigan crop was estimated
at 6,825,000 bushels as of August 1,
the largest on record and 45 per cent
of the total crop in the United States
estimated on that date at 15,270,000
bushels. The Michigan crop is be-
lieved to include about 65 per cent of
the total yield of white pea beans.

SEEDS

Clover seed prices advanced last
week, both red clover and alsike
sharing in the upturn. Reports upon
the new crop are rather unfavorable.
The shortage of hay in certain sec-
tions has reduced the amount left for
seed. Timothy seed prices remain in
about the same notch as for the last
several weeks.

FEEDS

Wheat feed prices have advanced
sharply in the last ten days. Consum-
ing demand has not broadened and is
inactive at the higher quotation. The
advance is believed to be due to buy-
ing by short interests. Other feeds
show but little change although prices
are mostly firm.

HAY

The hay market remains firm with
the demand in excess of the receipts
in the principal distributing markets.
But little top grade hay is available
and low grades are selling to better
advantage. Farmers are not offering
hay freely in spite of the advance.

POULTRY AND EGGS

Egg prices advanced sharply last
week as receipts continued light and

shipping .

I“ ' .. ’ i" . 0' ’17: A _ 7.. 0‘ .

  

supplies of top grades were'insufli-
cient to meet trade demand, and ap-
pear firmly "entrenched on the new
level. Some short held eggs able to
pass as fresh firsts were withdrawn
to supplement the supply. Eggs have
been movmg out of storage at a fast-
er rate than they have been going in
throughout the first half of the month,
which will probably be the case from
now on. The number of eggs disap-
pearing into consumptive channels at
the four leading cities thus far in
August is larger than last year and
the largest on record for the corres-
ponding period. ,

Chicago—Eggs: miscellaneous, 24
@250; dirties, 20@201/zc; checks, 200;
extras, 32@33%c; fresh firsts, 25@
261/20; ordinary firsts, 23@23‘1,§c. Live

Broilers, 30613320; heavy hens, 24@

geese, 12c; ducks, 28c.

BUTTER

Further advances were scored in
the butter market last week as the
effect of the “bearish” cold storage
report wore off. Receipts continue
light, arrivals at the four markets
during the first half of the month
showing a shortage of over 3,150,000
pounds under last year. Storage hold-
ings at the same points are smaller
than at the beginning of the month
whereas a year ago they increased
about 5,500,000 pounds in the corres-
ponding period. Consumption remains
satisfactory. The supply of fancy
butter is very small and some fancy
June butter was taken in its place.
The recent cool weather Will probab-
ly have a favorable effect on the qual-
ity of‘receipts. Foreign markets are
too high to be attractive but some
butter purchased on declines last
week is scheduled to arrive in the
next two weeks.

Prices on 92-score fresh creamery
were: Chicago, 43%0; New York,
441/2c. In Detroit fresh creamery in
tubs sells for 40@4lc.

APPLES

Carlot shipments of [apples continue
to run rather light for this season of‘
the year. Most of the increase in the
crop over last year is in the Pacific
coast territory, Michigan and the Vir-
gini'as. In New York, where the sum-
mer drop was unusually heavy, pro-
duction is expected to fall consider-
ably below last year. No. 1 Michigan
and Illinois Duchess, Transparent,
Wealthy and Golden Sweet apples are
quoted at 50 cents to $1 per bushel
on the Chicago market.

Most of the principal potato states

pared with» last year. ._The last. esti-
mate shows a reduction of 20 per cent
.for New York, 23 per cent for Michi-
gan, 33 per cent for Wisconsin, 14 per
cent for Minnesota and over ‘60 per

cent for New Jersey. The Maine crop, '

however, is about 20 percent larger.
than last year when it was consider-
ably below normal. Carlot shipments
are running considerably, smaller than
at this time last year or two years
ago. Prices were practically steady
last week with Kansas and Missouri
Cobblers at $1.90 to $2.25 per 100
pounds on midwestern markets.

, PEACHES.~

Carlot shipments of peaches have
fallen ofi sharply in the last few days.
Arkansas Elbertas are quoted at $3
to $3.75 per six basket carrier in mid-
western cities.

WOOL

Seaboard markets report a restric-
ted demand for wool. Orders placed
with mills for spring goods in the
men’s division have been light but
women’s wear lines have sold well
and liberal sales of fall goods are
still being made. Prices have eased
slightly except for fine staple wools
which are scarce. Most of the remain-
ing western wools are being sent east
on consignment but some territory
wool has been sold at 39 to 40 cents.
Foreign markets are quiet, awaiting
the next series at London which
starts September 4-when 220,000 bales
are to be offered.

Stocks of wool in commercial chan-
nels in the United States increased
30,000,000 pounds in the quarter end-
ing June 30. Imports of wool in the
year ending‘June 30 were 525,473,000
pounds compared with 255,087,000
pounds in the preceding year. Im-
ports of combing wool increased from
69,000,000 pounds to 298,000,000
pounds. "
l The Boston market is quoted as fol-
ows: 3

Michigan and New York fleeces:
Delaine unwashed, 52@53c; fine un-
washed, 480; 1,42 blood unwashed, 54@

ation now is shipping from one to
four cars of apples daily and has vir-
tually forced prices on this market to

BUSINESS FORECASTERS MIXED.

 

The forecasters who specialize in
calling the turns in the business cycle
do not always agree as to the exact
time when changes from expansion to
contraction, or prosperity to depres-
sion, W111 take place. Recently they
have exhibited the strange spectacle
of d1sagreement as to whether gener-
al conditions at the present time are
getting better or worse, whether the
busmess curve is going up or do’wn.
0n the whole, those who believe that
prospects are still favorable, that
many months will pass before the
prosperity phase of the cycle will be
over, seem to have the stronger
argument.

The rises in manufacturing costs
which may put retail prices so high
that consumers will balk, the passing
of the building bopm, the disad-
vantage of the farmer as a buyer and
disorganization in Europe are given
as t e chief. causes by those who
think that business has already
charted a downward course. .

I THE production or; the contest pens

has maintained a fairly steady
level during the past few weeks. The
Leghorns had a slight setback, only
having a 57. 8 production; while the
Anconnas made such an increase that
”they have almost tied the Léghorns
for the week’s production.
‘Kern’s White Leghorns have the
high production for the week with 53
eggs. Kent's Rocks gained second
with 52 eggs, but they were tied for
this place by Edward’s Leghorns, and
a pen of Leghorns owned by Mrs.
Jenkins. '

Individual rec0rds show that one of
Mr. Shaw’s Leghorns produced 231
eggs to date. One of L.’ I. Dunn’s
Barred Rocks produced 219, and a
Leghorn owned by Geo. Gommers
layed 212 eggs.

MICHIGAN LEADS IN BEANS.

ICHIGAN beans occupy an unus-

ually strong position in the Na— ~

tion’s crop this year, according to the
August report issued by Verne H1
Church, Agricultural Statistician and
L. Whitney Watkins, Commissioner
of Agriculture. Our state is credited
with 45 per cent of the total crop of
15,270,000 bushels, or 6,825,000 bush-
els. California is second with 4,359,—
000; Colorado is third with 1,486,000;
New York is fourth with 1,479,000;
Idaho is fifth with 607,000; New Mex-
ico is sixth with 313,000; and VViscon-
sin is seventh with 143,000 bushels.
The greater part of California’s
crop and a large portion in other
western states is made up of varities
other than the white pea bean, and
it is probable that about 65 per cent
of the entire production of this varie
ty will come from Michigan this year.
\Vith orderly marketing and moderate
prices the competition from foreign
beans will be largely eliminated and

a. strong domestic consumption cre!

ated. Such a condition should war-
rant fair prices throughout the mar-
keting season.

EXHIBITION TRAIN VISITS
MICHIGAN.

N direct response to the request

from the heads of the National
Grange and the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, the N. Y. C. Lines
has prepared an exhibition train
showing the evolution of transporta-
tion and is operating it over all of
its lines] It has already been shown
throughout Ohio and New York and
started in Michigan at Monroe on the
15th of August. It will be operated
in this state over all lines, crossing
into Indiana on the 16th of September.
Stops of from one hour to one day
are being made at various towns, de-
pending on the size of the town. In
Ohio the average attendance was over
4,000 a day.

The train is made up of eleven
units of equipment in which .the evo-
lution of transportation and the vari-
ous phases of railroading are demon-
strated by working models of all loco-
motives from Newton’s “tea-kettle en-
gine” to the present powerful freight
engines, by historic relics, pictures
and paintings, motion-pictures and
speeches, etc. The train is drawn by
the latest freight engine, assisted by
.a locomotive which established a
world’s record for speed in 1890. The
old DeWitt Clinton engine is also in-
eluded;

Obstructed Teats.—I have a cow
that gives bloody milk. There are
hard bunches in teat channel which
seem to move up and down. J. H. S.,
Spratt, Mich—Doubtless your veter-
inarian can remove this teat polypus
without having to make a wound, but
without the proper instruments it can-
not be done.

Failure to Come In Heat—VVhat
could I give my cow to bring her in
heat? She came fresh March 30th
and since then she has been in heat
only once. William Sharp, Fenton,
Mich ——Give her thirty grains of
ground nux vomica, a teasponlul of
ginge1 in feed twice a day. Yohim-
bine is the best drug to give her, but
too expensive for cattle practice.

Elbow Tumor.-—-—I have a mare 9
years old that developed shoe boils
while running in pasture this Spring;
have applied several kinds of lini-
ment, none of them do much good.

One bunch has opened. Wm GVance
Goshen, Ind —-Eithe1 have (Ibunches
cut off, or apply tinctu1e of iodin
daily If the one that has opened

be packed with subnitrate of bismuth
and vaseline, 1 to 3, the wound might
heal. Such an ailment is best treated
in cool weather.

Sterlity.—-Have a cow that came
fresh last February. She had nice
calf, and all went well, but she has
never been in heat since; she is now

about dry. Daniel F. Manshaem,
Grand Rapids, Mich —~Give he1 forty
grains powdered nux voimca, one

dram ground capsicum and one- -half
ounce of powdered lico1ice in feed
twice a day. If examined by your
veterinarian, he might be able yto tell
you why she fails to come in heat.

Enlarged Knee Joint—Your pre-
scription for my lame h01se has prov-
en beneficial, but the knee joint is yet
enlarged, but all the lameness is gone.
The horse is seemingly in good health,
but I fear this swelling is likely to
remain. I thank you for past advice
and shall Mppreciate a reply. J. S.,
Bayshore, ich.—An accumulation of
fibrous tissue such'as your horse has
on knee is not easil absorbed; how-
ever, persistent han -rubbing and the
application’of one part iodine and ten
parts fresh lard will partially reduce
it. Don’t look for immediate results.

ANY farmers today figure

that the better catch and

better yield of the hay crOp fol-low!

A ing fertilized wheatalone is in itself

a' good profit on the fertilizer in-
vestment.

“Two tons of fertilizers on_ a 20-
acre field gave an increase of 200
bushels of wheat and 10 tons of
clover hay,” reports a county agent
in Indiana. The extra yield of
wheat made a good profit on the
fertilizer; the extra yield of hay did
likewise. More wheat, more hay,
from the same application! .

In Missouri, an unfertilized field
produced 700 pounds of clover hay,
half of which was weeds; an iden-
tical field, on which lime and fer-
tilizers had been applied to the
previous wheat crop, produced
2, 550 pounds of hay.

A West Virginia field produced
100 pounds of hay Without fer-
tilizers and 5,800 pounds when‘lime
and fertilizers were used.

In Iowa, fertilizers increased the
hay crop on one particular field by
1,420 pounds per acre.
