CURRENT COMMENT





Oil cans are less expensive to use

than are monkey wrenches.





The Ieal test of all law comes not in

the court- r—oom but when in contact

with the citizen.





A shortage of labor has led many

farmers to the useful practice of al-

lowing the muscle-building, bone-

strengthening alfalfa plant to starve

out the much detested Canada thistle.





While we in America are at our

wits ends to know how to increase the

consumption of wheat, France is put-

ting On a campaign to urge economy

in the use of bread.

it, that we cannot get together.





Necessity often compels institutions

as well as men to do things which

were held to be impossible. Private

banks seemingly have found this to be

the case. Before the intermediate

credit banks were established by Con-

gress, many private banks found it

impossible to extend certain accomo—

dations to farmers. With the advent

of the new financial agency, however,

these banks now are even soliciting

for this “impossible” business.





ARMING is more





Farm Life than a business.

' It is also a life, a life



for Young Which many people

Folks who have had Oppor-





tunity to compare

it with urban life greatly prefer. Many

of the people with this viewpoint have

been able to satisfy it only after they

have passed middle life or, perhaps,

have not sooner appreciated the ad-

vantages Of farm life. Some have

made their comparisons while young

and decided in favor of the farm, re-

gardless Of the handicaps involved.





If the experience of the Older peo-

ple, who ,go back to thefarm life from

choice after middle life, is worth any,-

thing, the young people who make

ofarm life their first choice are on the

right track. From the standpoint of

a satisfactory ’and rwhoiesome life,

there can be no doubt about it when





the possibilities of present farm liv~ .





ing conditions are cOnsidered. And,

from a business standpoint, they are

making nO- mistake in-tbe long run.

While farming may not be on a par

with some other present business op-

portunities, so far as immediate re-

turns are concerned, it is a stable

business in which average successes

' areprobably more numerous than are

average successes in most other lines.





1' [It is hilt shine in being subject to- .

periodsfi of depression. and it holds up _. .





TOO bad, isn't,





ever center-1d.



All of these factors should be well

considered by young people who stand

at the fork of the road, where they

must choose between farm life: in

God’s open country and the possibility

of an unsatisfactory existence in the

crowded city.

ants ticles- bearing upon.

It Done? the advisability of





moving the federal

Bureau of Markets from the Depart-

ment of Agriculture to the Depart-

ment of Commerce. This change is

said, to be favored'by the commercial

interes 'of the country and, of

course, is not objected to by the De-

partment of Commerce.



The writers of the articles are quite

unanimous on the point that this

change is “desired by agricultural

leaders at Washington." Who these

agricultural leaders are and who they

represent. our Washington representa-

tive has._been unable, to discover. He

can. however, state positively that

these leaders do not represent the

National Grange, the National Board

of Farm Organizations, the Farmers'

National Council, nor the dairy or-

ganizations having representatives in

Washington. .



It would appear, therefore, that the

persons who are responsible for cir-





'culating this propaganda for the re-





moval of the Bureau of Markets to

the Department . of Commerce, are

feeling out to see what reaction there

is in agricultural circles. One dirt

farmer who understands the situation

suggests that in this and in keeping

their names out'of print these propo—

gandists are displaying real discretion.

This man is a hard-working farmer‘ ‘

Wheat is one of the cheapest and

ent time; and if it must be marketed

at all, it can be marketed through

hogs to good advantage now, and to

T is the favorite indoor past-time

of a certain class cf newspaper

writers to prepound problems some





thing like this; ,

i "If the farmer gets one dollar a





I bushel for his potatoes, and the man

in the city has to pay four dollars for





that same bushel at the store, who is

the profiteer, the farmer or the mer-





chant?”

I used to read a good deal in the





city press about the profiteering pro-





pensities of the farmer, and in late

years considerably more about the

profiteering propensities of the aver-

age retail dealer Without entering





.into any argument over the matter,





other than to make the general obser-

vation that farmers certainly have not

been profiteers and that retail mer-

chants are not as guilty as we would

like to believe, _I wish to discuss one

of the proposed remedies for narrow-

ing the spread between the buying

and selling prices of farm products.

Not so very long ago writers for the

farm papers believed they had hit up—

on the solution when they suggested

selling direct from the farm to the

consumer. To help along, the govern-

ment developed the parcel post, so





.‘that all a farmer had to do was to





drop a bushel of ,potatoes into the

rural ‘mail box, and presto, his mar-

keting was done! While there un—

doubtedly is considerable marketing

of farm products done in this manner,

I havenot noticed that the post office





' has put either the wholesale or retail





dealersxout of business.



What are the products which peo-

ple in the cities can buy to advantage

direct from the farms? They really

are more limited than we might at

first blush suppose. Potatoes, apples,

eggs, butter, poultry, hams and bacon,

and that is about all. Modern meth-

ods of processing and distributing





milk has made it almost impossible.





for anyone except a specialist to dis-

tribute milk. As to fresh meat, there

are numerous practical difficulties in

the way, especially in summer, when

‘meat will not keep. Potatoes and ap-

ples are good examples of bulky com-

modities" which might conceivably be

sold direct, but here again we en-

‘DWellers in ten-

ant heuses, the inhabitants of flats

and apartments, have no storage room

for anything bulky. They are almost

compelled to buy in driblets at retail.





Even thosepeople who have cellars .

do not like to buy their potatoes and





apples, and things like that direct, un-

less they can inspect the commodity

first. The reason is obv1ous, for there

are potatoes and potatoes, and apples

and apples. One farmer might sell

well-graded potatoes of the highest

quality for a dollar a bushel, and his

neighbor might charge a dollar for an

ungraded, inferior lot. Yet both are

selling potatoes.

In every city of any size there are

always more, or less people who are

willing to pay a fancy price for ex-

treme quality in supplies for their ta-

ble. These represent only a small

class of the buyers of foodstuffs, but

to the extent to which they buy, they

are the best opportunity for direct

marketing.‘ Any farmer who believes

that the spread between the price he

receives and the price the consumer

pays is too large, can sell direct at a

profit if he keeps the following points

in mind:



1.. He must grade and standardize

Bulky commodities in which the

quality varies, I am afraid, will never

be sold direct in any large way. The

only way in which the farmers can get

more money for these products is to

have compulsory grading laws put

upon the statute books, and have a

strict, official supervision of all grades.

thing, and the time will come when

Then, he should have attractive labels

printed, and label eve1y single con-

tainer, and seal the containers.



2. In his newspaper advertising and

descriptive folders he must explain

just how this grading and packing has

been done, and tell the customer ex-

actly what to expect. He must say

ety, and are about of such a size. In





other words, if your container holds





two hundred Jonathan apples about“





two inches in diameter, say so.



3. He must maintain the same stand-

ards year after year; in other words,

do the same thing that the great

wholesale houses do with their prod-

ucts.



The opportunity for extra profit in

this kind of direct selling is very large,

but it is only fair to state that not

many farmers who try it succeed. In

the fi1st place, many of them are not

good enough farmers to raise crops of

the desired quality. It is absolutely

useless to think for even a minute

that people in the city will fuss to

buy direct unless they are going to

get better values than their stores of—

fer. The only chance such a farmer

will have to sell direct is to put up a

sign so that passing motorists may

stop, and even then not every one who

stops will buy.



The farmer who is master of his

profession, and does raise the poultry,

and make the butter, and produce the

apples which deserve a quality price

is not always a born business man, a.

man who knows how to advertise his

products and how to deal with his cus—

tomers.



All of which brings us down to the

oft repeated statement of late that

the farmer’s primary function is to

produce his crops, and that experts in

marketing should do the selling. The

exception, the man who combines the

two faculties, will sell direct anyway,

but the great rank and file will not be

able to develop that side of their bus-

iness.



I have written it before, and will re-

peat it here, that from all present in—

dications the best chance the farmer

has for better prices is to pool his

goods, have them graded according to

standards familiar to the market, and

then hire experts to sell these goods

to the best advantage. That is now

being tried with wheat, fruits, pota—

toes, live stock; being tried on a large





enough scale so that in a few years,





we will at least have some large scale

experience to form conclusions from.

tions? The answer depends very

largely on the individual. It is said

that we are raising too much wheat,

that is, too many acres—which, with-

out doubt, is true.

greatly increased the wheat acreage,

and now the pendulum must swing the

other way.



We harvested this year about eleven

million more acres of wheat in the

United States than we did in the years

1909-1913. Most of this increase has

occurred in a few of ' the big wheat

states; mainly in Kansas, Oklahoma,

Montana, Illinois, Missouri and Col-

orado. ”The Michigan acreage is larg-

er by 116,000 acres, a 13. 5 per cent in-

crease.



Without any question there are

"acres in wheat which are better suit-

ed for, and which should be in, other





_ crops, but no government subsidy, ad- ,

Wheat growing,- like any other ac-



tivity in any walk of life, is competi-

tive. The man who con produce only

eight or nine bushels of wheat per

acre has no business trying to raise

wheat, unless his efforts cannot be

more profitably expended on other

crops.

‘ The farmer who can lower his pro-

duction costs by increasing his yield

can continue to raise wheat long after

the man who produces eight bushels

‘per ‘acre of number three wheat has

been forced to quit. Good quality is

closely associated with high yield.

High yields are dependent on soil fer-

tility and cultural methods. Thus the

question of profit in‘ the wheat crop

rests ultimately in soil fertility and

'cultural methods.





_ Most Michigan farmers recognize

the importance of properly feeding the

wheat crop. Almost one~half of all

the fertilizer used in Michigan is ap-





- piled on wheat. There are several ad-





vantages in concentrating a good part





 





, First of all, Wheat is very respon-

sive to fertilizer treatment. Wheat

makes its early growth at a season of

the year when the natural agencies

which liberate plant food in the‘soil

are at their lowest ebb. Perhaps this

is the reason wheat utilizes fertilizer

so efficiently. At the same time, the

effects of a heavy fertilizer applica-

tion on wheat are clearly shown in

succeeding crops.



An interesting test on the place of

fertilizer in the rotation has been con-

ducted by the] Ohio Experiment Sta-

tion for the past eight years. 'In one

set of plots the fertilizer was divided

into four equal parts, one-fourth being

applied to each crop of the rotation

(corn, oats, wheat and clover). On

another set it was divided equally

among the three cereal crops (corn,

oats and wheat). On still another it

was divided betweencorn and wheat,

and finally in three other sets of plots

it was applied, respectively, all on

corn, all on lwheat, and all on clover.





'To date it has been __the most profit-





able to apply all the fertiliser en





 





jgp; 9 Has new pwvemsnt remanded on ,





While this may not hold true under

Michigan conditions, the test at least

indicates that a large fertilizer appli—

cation on wheat pays.



In another test by the Indiana Sta-

tion at Bedford, Indiana, 1,000 pounds

of fertilizer per acre on wheat in

1917, with no additional applications

since that time, has proven more prof-

itable than 200 pounds annually. A

number of fertilizer experiments con-





ducted by the Michigan station have '1





have invariably shown improvement

in yield, quality, or both. In one test

at Goldwater, the unfertilized plot

yielded 8.6 bushels of number three

wheat, while adjacent fertilized plots

yielded 18.7 bushels and 23.0 bushels,

respectively, of number one wheat.

Here the improvement of quality was

as important as the increase in yield.





A further advantage in fertilizing

wheat is had when clover follows the

wheat. Satisfying the need of the soil





for lime is often the prerequisite for '





Successful clover production, but quite

as' often the need for phosphorus is

the limiting factor. It is not unusual





for the increase in clover to be sum;

HAT , is the matter with the



farmer? In reply to this ques-

tionDr. Henry C. Taylor, chieflof the

Bureau of Agricultural Economics,

says: “He is not getting a fair share

of the national income. He is not

able to exchange his products for an

adequate amount of the products of

other industries.”



Shifting from one line of production

to another will not solve the farmer’s

problem, according to Dr: Taylor.

“What is needed is something that

will bring about a proper equilibrium

between the prices of farm products

and the prices of products of other

industries. While farmers are making

maximum production other industries

have continued to hold relatively high

prices on their products through cur—

tailment of production. it would

'serve much better the interests of the

farmer and consumer of farm pro-

ducts if the city workers would pro-





duce and supply to farmers larger

quantities of products in exchange

for the products of the farms. From





a national point of view it is not de-

sirable to have city workers consume





less of farm products, but it is desir-'





able to have them produce more of

the things which farmers need to buy

and exchange them for farm products

on a more equitable basis.”





 





OPPOSE ACTIONS OF TARIFF

COMMISSION.





HROUGH the efforts of Western

wool growers in coope1ation with

the Southern Tariff League, a move—

ment was recently started in the West

which has developed into the Western





Tariff Associatid‘n,

started primarily for the purpose of

defending the. present wool tariff; and

to stabilize tariff rates. ‘



In an announcement the new associ-

ation manifests concern regarding the

policy of President Coolidge in regard

to the application of the flexible tar-

iff provision of. the tariff act. The ef-

fect of decisions on productive indus-

try rendered by the Federal Tariff

Commission is deplored.





“Although we commend the motive

and recognize the sincerity of the ef-

forts of the Tariff Commission to ren-

der public 'service,” spokesmen of the

association say, “we consider the ac-

tivities of that body to date have

been destructive to the producers

without benefitting the consumers,

but on the contrary have aided the

middlemen and speculators.”



The President has been asked to

“restrain such activities of the Tariff

Commission by executive orders.”





BY WAY OF COMPARISON.





 





OME interesting comparisons are



made‘by the marketing officials

received 15.9 cents per pound for their

wool; in July, 1922, 32.5 cents, and in

July, 1923, 38.3 cents. The cotton

growers received 11.5 cents per pound

for their cotton in July, 1913; 20.7

cents in July, 1922, and 23.5 cents in

July, 1923. Corn brought 65.1 cents

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION GROWS

RAPIDLY.

“T HE outlook for vocational edu-

cation is for a record-breaking

growth of this new form of school or-

ganization throughout 1the country,”

says Harry L. Fidler, vice-president

of the Federal Board of Vocational

Education.



A summary of the five years’

growth under the Act creating the

board tells a remarkable tale of prog-

ress. At the beginning of the fiscal

year 1922-23, there were nearly 5,000

approved vocational schools in opera-





tion in the states receiving Federal

aid. A total of 475,000 pupils were en—





131.15 ‘cents in‘ 1922. and $1.22"





index figure for July





relled. ' In additiOn, 171 teacher-train-

.ing institutions had. been organized,

with an enrollment of over 18, 000

_ prospective vocational teachers





 





GROWING BEETS. '





 





HE Federal Tariff Commission had



ordered an investigation into the

cost of producing sugar beets within

the United States. This survey will

be for f‘purposes of the so-called flex-

ible provisions of the tariff act of

' 1922.” The inquiry calls for a survey

of the cost of producing beets in thir-

ty sugar areas 'in Michigan, Nebraska,

Colorado, Utah and California. Rec-

ords will be taken from 2.0.00 farms,





aggregating about 15 per cent of the .





total production in the thirty dis—

tricts, and representing 10 per cent of

all sugar beets produced in this coun-

try. The commission \proposes to

' WHEAT RECEIPTS DECLINE.





 





HE American Farm Bureau Fed-





eration is pointing to” the fact '

that during the past few weeks be— ’





tween 7,000 and 8,000 fewer cars 'of

wheat have reached the primary mar-_

kets than during the same time last

year, as evidence that farmers are

Waiehousing their wheat in compli«

ance with the advice given out by the

Farm Bureau. Wheat is also selling

around ten cents a bushel above the

quotations when the Wichita meeting

The Best Time for Lime





To Get t/ze Fa/l Benefit osz'me 072 Acid Soils Give It a Cfidflce to Dino/W





INCE lime is used in a soil man-



agement program to directly influ-



ence the growth of legumes, it

should be used at a time when it will

do them the most. good. Practically

all the clover and considerable of the

alfalfa is seeded in the spring in the

wheat or some spring seeded small

grain crop. This being the case, it is

necessary to apply the limestone in

the fall before seeding to wheat or

early in the spring. 111 most cases the

fall applications are preferred.



There are several reasons for this.

In the first place, the soil is firmer

and the fields easier to get 011. The

farmer is usually not so busy, and

last, but most important of all, is that

it gives the lime time to go into solu-

tion and partially neutralize the acid-

ity before the clovers are seeded.

Where marl is used, fall applications

provide easier access to the marl beds,

the marl is 'drier, and easier to spread.





The kind of liming material used

will depend on the acreage to be lim-

ed, the availability of the materials,

the time and method of liming and the

cost of each liming material. In gen»

eral, the finely ground or pulverized

limestone will be found to be the most

economical form to use.





, Tests by the soils section of the

Mic igan Agricultural College show

that the finer the material the quicker

will the acidity be neutralized. At the

\‘Mancelona Experiment Field, a lime

Series is operating It was found that '5

,after one year, soil on which applica—

tiOns of 3, 000 pounds of hydrated lime

and three“ tons of ground limestone

bro made, tested alkaline, soils re,—





 





"he 1:000.seedepnhydmnme





By 0. B. Price *





ton and two tons of ground limestone,evident that two tons of ground lime-





and three tons of lim’estone screen-

ings, were neutral; and the plots get-

ting 500 pounds of hydrate and one

ton and two tons of limestone screen-

ings were still slightly acid.



From these results it is evident that

limestone screenings are not as effi-

cient as either the pulverized stone or

hydrated lime, but if large enough

amounts we applied the results will

be the same. In some cases it may be

cheape1 per ton to apply twice the

amount of screenings as the pulveriz-

ed stone. When screenings are used,

the material will not last longer, for

as ythe finer material is used up the

coarse will not become available fast

enough to neutralize the accumula-

tions of soils unless large amounts

have been applied.



In some locations where hydrated

lime is used quite extensively, it is

the common belief that 700 pounds of

the hydrated lime is equivalent to two

tons of ground limestone. This idea

is wrong and should be discarded. The

strength of liming materials is usually

spoken of in terms of calcium car-

bonate or its equivalent. When one

ton of limestone from the quarry is

burned, the carbon dioxide. is driven

off and calcium oxide remains, which

constitutes fifty—six per cent of the or-

iginal weight, or 1,120 pounds When

this calcium oxide, or “qu1cklime ” is

exposed to the air or becomes slaked

it takes on water, which dilutes the

strength so‘ that it constitutes seven-

ty-four per cent of the weight of the

original- ton, or 1,480 pounds.

' son for this.





lime to grow alfalfa_ ,1 But if ther is





stone of‘ 100 per cent calcium carbon-

ate is equivalent to 2,240 pounds of

quicklime, or 2 ,960 pounds of hydrated

lime



When, therefore, recommendations

are made for any amount of limestone,

it should be remembered that if hy-

drated lime is to be used, three-

fourths of the recommended amount

should be applied.



It may be possible to get good re-

sults from even smaller than a three-

fourths application of hydrate because

of the finer material and its availabil-

ity, but if smaller amounts are used

they Will not last so long.



The writer has seen and tested

fields of alfalfa Where several hundred

pounds of hydrated lime were used a

few years-ago and found the field acid

and alfalfa failing. The farmers had

not tested the field before nor since

applying lime, to see if the acidity

was neutralizedf This is not to dis-

courage the use of hydrated lime for

it has its place in agriculture, but it is

to explode the idea that a few hundred

pounds is just as efficient as two tons

of ground limestone.



Sometimes legumes can be grown

successfully where only small appli-

cations of lime have been made. .The

writer has even seen exc‘ell‘ent stands‘

of alfalfa where the soil tested medi-

um to strongly acid. There is a rea-

these are acid it will be necessary to





 





If *apply ‘liming materials this fall and





I





small applications of lime, and even

no lime at all if other conditions are

right, for when roots reach this layer

they will be able to secure enough

lime there. It is necessary therefore,





Just think of the l





to test not only the surface soil, but -’





the subsoil as well, to arrive at a safe I

knowledge of the lime requirements.





Farmers should test their soil, or;

have it tested, every year or two. A !

recent test perfected by Professor C.

H. Spurway, of the Soils Department,

M. A. C., makes it possible for every

farmer to test his soil accurately and

quickly at slittle expense. This test,

the “Soiltex” method, is now univer~

sally used by all county agricultural

agents and extension specialists.





Where high-grade marl is available

and can be applied at a reasonable

cost it serves the purpose of lime.

There is an increased interest in marl

this year as indicated by the larger

number of Small samples which come

to the Soils Department at M. A. C. .

to be tested for percentage of ’calcium

carbonate.





Grain crops are not 'so sensitive to

acidity but are usually benefited by

applications of lime. Indirectly it is

very beneficial. Lime is not a fertil-

izer and should not 'be used for that

purpose. It is a soil amendment which

will correct the acidity, supply avail-

able calcium, increase 'bacterial activ-

ity and liberate plant food in the soils.



It is important, therefore, that the‘

farmer think about his spring seed-

ings now, tes his soil. and if it is acid

us to cover the blossoms—E. C. B.





In growing peanuts it is necessary

to draw soil up around the plants.

Soon after the peanut blossoms are

fertilized, the young‘ undeveloped

fruits work into the soil and develop

under ground. It is an advantage to

hill slightly by means of cultivation

or other means, and in this way a.

larger crop may be grown—R. E.

We have a marsh that yields a good

crop of hay each year, and lately tim-

be advisable to seed this marshvto

timothy and if so, at what time of the

year?——C. J. A.



.Timothy may be seeded frOm the

Mrs. A. has a farm, inherited from

her father, with the deed'in her OWn

name. She has no children; has One

sister and there are two children of a.

half-brother (son of her mother who

had no interest in her father’s prop-

erty). Should Mrs. A. die without

leaving a will, to‘whom would it go?

Would not the sister receive it all?

Could the husband or half-brother’s

children claim any share of it?—L. S.





The husband will inherit one-half of

the property, the sister one-fourth, and

the children of the half-brother the

rest—Rood.





TRESPASS BY srocK.





 





If cattle break through the fence of

owner of cattle, is the owner compell-

ed to pay so much per head besides

the dgmlalges done to neighbor’s crops?





The owner of trespassing stock is

liable only for the actual damage they

do. It is not determined by the num-

ber of head, nor the value of the tree-

passing animal.——Rood.





MORTGAGE.





 





I bought a horse, giving a mortgage

on my Wife’s property. Wife did not

Sign mortgage. Can they foreclose

w1thout her signature? She gave me

permission to do so. The horse was

810k when I. took it out of the stable





and died after I had it about six,





months. I did not pay anything down,

but gave this mortgage. I now offer

to pay the purchase price of the horse,

but they refuse and want me to pay

the full price, also interest. What

shall I do?—J. A. B. -



Undoubtedly J. A. B. is liable for

the full price and_interest in the ab-

sence of warranty concerning the con-

dition of the horse. But the mortgage

executed by the husband for the wife

without a written power of an attor-

ney would be void unless it was exe-

cuted in her name and in her pres-



‘ ence.——Rood.

renewing evidence to present. which

seems to make the proposition just



' a bit more confusing:

" - Despite heavy rains which occured

a much better second growth in the

I note that the portion out first is in

These observations have forced me '





to ask the questions Did the late cut-

f "% insects? There are many crickets in





this field. Were they forced out of —





the alfalfa out last into the new

So I bought a desk. I couldn’t af-

ford a. new one, for that is expense

pure and simple; and I needed every

cent I could get to produce some-

thing. I got a neighbor who was go-

ing into the city with his truck to buy

me a second-hand one that I‘saw ad-

vertised for $15.00. It had a roll top

with pidgeon holes and spaces for

books in the top and drawersdowu

On his way home he was killed by

HELPS ORGANIZE HIS TIME.





I’VE been a reader of the Michigan

Farmer for a long time, also of

many other papers, and don’t always

get time to read same when they ar-

rive; so there is where my office

comes in handy. I simply put all mail

there, and in the evening, when

chores are done, I have time to read

them.



The desk puts system into a farm

and helps keep a house clean. Here

I keep livestock records and other

farm accounts. I wouldbe lost with-

out my desk, for it is easier to go to





' the desk to find out the variety of a





certain apple or peach tree or berry

row on my chart, than to go into the

field and compare the difference in

varieties. In my desk I can find the

yield of crops for years back. Many

other farmers have their mind so ‘oc-

cupied trying to remember every

thing that when they do want to know

something they usually have forgotten

it. I might just as well quit the farm

as the desk, as they go together 0. K.

—Curtis Waechter.





WOULD NOT PART WITH HIS

DESK.

T the present time my desk is in

one corner of the living room: Said

desk has a" drop top to which is at— .

tached my typewriting machine. It

alsohas drawers in which I keep my

stationery, pens, pencils, dairy and

account books. I have a place for all

myfarm papers on this desk.

Therefore, when I come in the:

house at night to read I know where

my papers are. If I wish to write a

letter I do not have to hunt the. house‘

over to find pencil and paper. _My_

typewriter is before me, ready for bus-

iness. fAcCount books are there in

Nic Lang/tent}! 7P1”! Cherries In





_ ByC.V‘.





_them growing well and hearing, but





FRUIT—GROWER, Nic Lenghen-

ry, living on the outskirts of

Manistee, has succeeded. in

budding a tame sweet ',cherry, a Na-

on a wild choke cherry sap-

ling. During the first two weeks the

bud grew 14 inches and has made bet-

ter progress since that time. ‘



When Longhenry started to buy

cherry trees some years ago. from the

nurseries, he ‘paid $20 per 100 with

packing and express charges paid by

the hou'se,~but in the last 20 years

the price advanced to about $100 per

100 with the buyers having to pay

the express and packing charges.



With his new cherry tree, the tame

sweets budded on a wild choke cher-

ry, he expects not only to lower the

price of a nursery stock but also to

grow a tree that will grow 100 per

bent after being set out. The choke

cherries are natural to this country

and have conquered every destructive

element of nature that hinders them,

whereas others were originally im-

ported and the best nursery stock

had always came from France before

the war, ,



The rapid. growth of the .Napoleon

bud on the wild sapling indicates

that the experiment will be a huge

success.

ing a tree much more rapidly than if

it had been grafted onto its own

stock, but the leaves are larger and

greener and the entire plant has an

extraordinarily healthy appearance.

Dyehouse cherries have also been

used in the experiment with success.



Another reason for Longhenry’s ex-

periment lies in the peculiar condi-

tions that exist in his orchard. It is

planted on a large sand dune where

only one thing grows besides the

trees that are planted there and that

thing is the wild choke cherry. When

Nic bought the bare sand hills ad to

the .north and west of his home his

friends thought he had gone. crazy.

For he bought his acres of sand from

the state after the original owners

had let them go rather than pay the

taxes. _



But now Longhenry's cherry or-

chard, with trees from four to ten

years old, is second to none in the

vicinity. It was the horticulturist’s

condition that the bare sand hills

would raise fruit and his success

proves'it beyond a doubt.



The photograph above shows Nic

standing beside one of his ten-yeanold

trees. It very clearly shows the

kind- of soil in the orchard, though

it looks much more like snow. It is

simply clear blow sand that shifts

with the . changes in the wind and

scarcely anything can grow on it. A

few spears of quack grass may be

seen and occasionally _ some other

weed springs up only to die with the

first near—drought. The small bushes

are wild choke cherries .which‘, on

this devasted soil, ‘grow abundantly

and luxuriantly. Upon ‘that fact alone

~~Longhenry believes his .new cherry

will be a success for thousands, of

acres of this now useless sand on the

shores of the Great Lakes await just

# a development as this.

A NEW SPRAY FOR PEACHES.





 





N the Fennville district, several of

the growers have been trying a



new summer spray for the control of

peach scab and curcullio. This is

called a New Jersey dry mix and is

sulphur, sixteen pounds hydrated lime

and two pounds of calcium casinate.

This amount of material will make

two-hundred gallons of spray at about

the cost of $1.50.



The ingredients are mixed dry, then

a little water is added to make a

paste. After which, the required

amount of water is thoroughly mixed

with the paste. The formula is very

easy to make, and no damage results

to the foliage as in the case of the

self-boiled lime-sulphur mixture. It is

cheaper than dusting, and can be ap-

plied with any ordinary spray rig.



The growers who have tried it,

claim very good results in the control

of peach Scab, curcuillo and rot. Some

have also obtained good results from

its use on apple trees, in the control

of scab.





 





FUMIGANT FOR PEACH BORER.





 





THERE is considerable interest in

the use of paradichlorobenzene

for controlling peach borers. This is

a powder which is put in a circle on

the leveled soil at the base of the tree

hnd about two inches away from the

trunk.‘ The trees are then mounded

with fine, compacted soil and the gas

which generates kills the larvae. It

"is injurious on trees younger than

three or four years. ”On three-year

trees a, half—ounce is alloved to re-

I believe that our report, when com-

“They’d have me in an asylum in

Somehow, sSeffy’s arms opened to in-



' Vite her back and she came with a low

reckless laugh. The wild sheaf of her

hair lodged again close under his chin.



He recklessly thrust his face into it.



Its perfume in his nostrils and its

i movement against his skin were in-

effable. He kissed it. Again it was

the strange fashion of the cavalier—

in those kisses! Where did he learn it?



“Oh, Sally, wear it always so!” he

begged again. And—good heavens!—

he put his lips down upon it once

more!

murmured Sally to‘ the lapel of his

coat. _



“Sally—TSally, you are an angel!”

said Seffy. .



And this one little word which came

to dull Seffy so happily out of his fav-

' orite song made the coquette very

“Not an‘ angel—Seffy, Sef——Seffy,”

she said with her head a little down.

“I don’t think you would like me to

be such. I’m not! Angels never laugh,

Vera’s daddy is real poorly and she

thought she ought to go see him for

. a spell for I reckon she won’t have

. “ 'him many years more. So she took

1 the train last Friday and will be gone

bout two weeks more. Seems pretty

1, lonesome without her an I begin to

realize ,What a lot of work a woman

' does that a man never thinks about.

) - I ain’t much of a cook but Fred hasn’t

1 ' complained yet and we manage to get



enough of the plain vittles.



Thanks for your suggestions regard—

ing the, Community House. They fit

in purty well. We had a meeting of

the Council the other night and think

now we are on a purty good plan. You

, remember the church stands in a little

1 ‘ grove near a bend in the crick. The

, banks are fairly high there and so we

‘ p are going to make a dam and sort of



build up a. little lake. It will be a



. fine place to go swimming and we can

I fix the grove up for picnics.



Charley Gilkey’s place is nice an all

.that but it sorto removed the activi-

ties away from the church. An we

figured we ought to have things cen-

ter round the church more. Charley

is, agreeable to that too; Only reason

he fixed up his pasture was cause the

She spoke. with that trifle of hard

brutality which came out now and

then. ’



“You know what they say at the

store—that I flirt and am not nice in

other ways, and they’re right. But I

do want to be nice to you, though not

a sister—quite. Ugh! And, you know,

one thing they say is true—my temp-

er. Look out for that! You must al-

ways take time to forgive me and let

me ask to be forgiven.”



Now, I beg to ask—you whether an

amende was ever more delicious—corn-

sidering that much of what she said

to and for Seffy was meant .to and for

herself alone? Indeed, before she got

through with it, it had affected her

quite as if Seffy had pleaded it, and

her voice sank to its pretty mezzo,

then quivered a bit, and she under-

stOod that she was answering herself!





“Seffy, I am awfully sorry!”



“For what‘ Sally?” asked Seffy.



Seffy, dull Seffy, really did not know

for what. But there is something

which God gives the dull, as well as

the sprightly-witted, that outleaps

words to comfort sorrow. And this

Seffy had abundantly. It first express-

ed itself in the strong young arms

which again closed in utter silence

upon the sorrowing one.

A NEW GARDEN VEGETABLE.





 





Will you please tell me about

Chinese cabbage. We have some

planted in our garden, and it is yield-

ing a large quantity of pale green

leaves. But we do not know how to

use it. Does Chinese cabbage head?

If so, our plants are too close togeth»

er. How can it be prepared for the

tables—Mrs. B. G. K.



Chinese cabbage is a new vegetable

which has only recently been planted

in the home garden. It should be

planted in rows from two to three

feet apart, and the plants should be

from six to eight inches apart that

they may have ample room to head.'

This plant does not head as closely

as cabbage, and is more nearly like

head lettuce.



It is prepared for serving much the ‘

as ordinary cabbage. It is

shredded and served with a dressing,

or may be combined with celery,





pimentos or tomatoes.





 





CAN YOU H ELP?





 





Mrs. J. T. M., of Fowlerville, would

like to know how to can white onions.

Has some reader had experience in

canning this vegetable? ‘



Mrs. C. S., of Charlotte, would like

to make a crocheted coat for her one-

year-old girl. She wants one with a

fitted waist and rippled skirt. Will

some reader who has directions for

making this garment please send

them in?



Mrs. O. H. K., of Hebron, has an

den and would like to make some pre-

,INEXPENSIVE TOWELS.





 





Y everyday towels are noted for



their absorbing qualities, long

wearing, easy washing, and last, but

not least, they are inexpensive. I’go

to the grain elevator and pick out the

softest light-weight grain bags I can

find. Sometimes I buy new ones, and

sometimes used ones, if they have

holes in them I patch them. I can get

from one grain bag two towels eight-

een inches or more wide, and about

one and a quarter ya'rds long after

they are hemmed. They become

Whiter every time they are washed,

and make excellent farm towels.—

Mrs. W. G. B., Wexford County.





PASS IT ON. ‘





 





MANY housewives will find an old

discarded kettle that is full of

holes (one with a handle preferred)

very useful with a large family. I find

a common sink strained too small to

hold my garbage. By piercing several

holes in the bottom of an old kettle,

it makes a convenient sink strainer

and can be hung up on a-nail when

not in use. .



Some children are harder on stock-

ings than others. The knees seem to

wear out on my boys’ sto'ckings before

the. toes and heels. Instead of the

everlasting patch, I cut off the tops

and use the bottoms for half—socks,

to be worn on hot days with sandals.

-—Mrs. R. E. L.





 





Try using a heavy envelope as a

pastry tube. Snip the corner off With

the scissors and fill with frosting,

forcing out gently in any design you

wish. The children will love little cup

cakes with their own initials on them

and never miss the extra frosting.



—MRS. F. R.





 





Apple marmalade is a good substi-

tute for old-fashioned apple butter.

Select tart apples, and allow three-

fourths pound of sugar to one pound

of pared, cored and quartered fruit.‘

Boil skins and cores twenty minutes,

drain off the liquid upon the apples

and cook till tender. Put through

seive, add sugar, simmer until thick.

Hello, Uncle Frankie:



I received your Merry Circle button

and card, and I thank you ever so

much for them. I haven’t written to

you for a long time. I wanted to be

in that quarieling contest, but I didn’t

have time to write, so I’m left out.



I wonder how many cases of straw-

berries the members of the Merry Cir-

cle can pick. I can pick thirteen to

fifteen per day. My brother picks

fourteen to sixteen.





er.—Your niece, Elizabeth Bodnor, M.

C., Bangor, Mich.





Let’s hear from other berry pickers.

I think here is a good record to beat.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



You said you enjoyed hearing from

different members about their school

averages. My standings ranged from

ninety-two to ninety-nine.——Your niece,

Lola Harwood, M. C., Tecumseh, Mich.

Some more‘ good averages. I always

thought Merry Circlers were smart,

but now I know it.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:

I think it would be nice to have a

flag contest. Have .the boys and girls

make a flag with our colors on them

in the way they think best. Have them

make it out of clofli. The one that

Uncle Frank would choose, he could

farming until his son began to make

things go, with his hogs. Now Clifton

and his father farm the hundred acres

and lent another farm besides. A trac-

tor helps them to take care of the two

places.





Besides, Clifton now has a brother

in a sheep club, and his sister is ac-

tive in a canning club as well as a. pig

club. His mother is much interested

in her flock of pure-bred Leghorns.

And their herd of Holsteins is being

bred up by the use of a registered

bull.





‘There is only one in the family not

greatly interested; he is Clifton’ s old-

er brother who is mechanically inclin-

ed. He has not become interested in

club work or other agricultural activi-

ties, so is now working for Clifton and

his father by the month.





It seems to us that Clifton’s experi-

ence shows that an active interest in

boys’ and girls’ club work pays well.

I will have to close now. So, good-

bye. “Your niece, Evelyn Batten, M.

,Galien, Mich.





Your flag suggestion is good. We

will use it sometime. Of course, you

could take part in it. Yes, I think the

songs were very good. _





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I sure enjoy reading the letters in

our department. Versel Galley and

Oesterle are not the only ones that

are good in school work. My marks

averaged from ninety-five to one hun-

dred all last year. I also made the

seventh and eighth grades. Besides

taking up music and Biblical instruc-

tions, and I could not attend school

for nearly six weeks on account of

scarlet fever and the flu. That isn’t

so bad for one year’s course. This

fall I will enter high school at the age

of twelve.





Well, I must say “so-long for this

time? ’——Vivian Stewart, St. Joseph,

Mich” ..2



You certainly did well in school.

The active life is the one that is

worth While, especially when the ac-

tivities are fora good purpose.

have to get back to work again.

than during the rest of the year; oth-

ers have hada good easy time of it.

Some are very glad the vacation is

over because they like school so well,

there must be something the matter

with the one who feels that way, or

the school he is going to.

now who can put M. C. after their

the way in which Christ treated those

who came to Him.





John was a young man of the time

of Christ. He evidently came of a

, fairly well-to—do



family. His moth-



er’s house was



”large enough to



contain a good

it was one of the

. lem._ She kept a

maid whose principal duty it was to

open the door for callers. John took

the Roman surname of Mark, prob-

ably when,he was converted from

Judaism to Christianity, something

not uncommonly practiced, by early

Christians. His earliest contact with

the followers of the Nazarene was

probably during Christ’s ministry. At

any rate we are fairly certain that he

was present on the night of the be-

trayal and arrest, for we are told that

“there followed a certain young man,

having a linen cloth cast about his

naked body; and the young men laid

hold on him;. and he left the linen

cloth, and fled from them naked.”

'(Mark, 14). This was probably John

Mark, himself.‘ The fact that this in-

cident is given only in Mark’s gospel,

and that the person is not named, in-

dicates that he was speaking of him-

self-





 





UT to come to the time when he



lost his opportunity. Barnabas and

Saul started out on their first mission-

ary journey, having been directed by

the Holy Ghost. They took with them

John Mark, as personal attendant and

companion. Probably they liked the

idea of having a younger man with

them. They traversed the whole

length 01 the large island of Cyprus,

landed at Attalia and went on inland.

But at Perga, Mark turned back and

went to Jerusalem. Several reasons

have been asSigned for his refusal to

continue the missionary journey. One





» is, that he feared his mother might





suffer from the general persecution of

Christians in Jerusalem. A ship at

Perga, may have been prepared to sail,

and Mark took advantage of the

chance to get home. Barnabas felt





i there was some excuse for his going,

» 1 while Paul criticized him seVerely. A





second reason given for his detection

is, cowardice. The missionaries were

about to penetrate the hill country of

what is now Asia Minor. Brigands

were known to live there, and he did

not like the prospect.

right, for the two evangelists had a

rough time of it, part of the way.





.‘ There was a riot in one town, and at





Lystra Paul was stoned. Also, the

apostles changed their plan somewhat





‘ at Perga, and Mark may have felt





that he was no longer needed.





When the next- mis—

sionary journey was undertaken, Barn-

abas insisted on taking Mark, but Paul

would not listen to the idea and the

contention became so sharp that Paul

it otherwise. He had a stern, unbend~

ing sense of duty, and he would not

take any- one who did not throw him-

self heart and soul into his task.

Viewed as by Barnabas, or ”viewed as

by Paul, when Mark left them and re-

turned to Jerusalem, he made a great

mistake. He lost an opportunity that

comes to few men, and one that did





net come to him again for a long time. ‘





N the meantime he must have

thought about it much. He must

hate felt that he had acted hastily.





‘Call it by whatever name, he had





turned back. And probably he re-

membered the words of the Master

about the man who puts his hand to

the plow and looks back. Moreover,

everyone knew what he had done.

Paul told, it. He stated very plainly

that he would have nothing more to

do with Mark. It was for Mark to

show what he could do. He had to

lIVe down his reputation. And he did!





He did it so well that a few years

later we find Paul asking that Mark

come, “for he is useful to me for the

ministering.” The past is forgotten.

Mark is having his second chance, and

he is making good use of it. And what

did he do, to 'get back into favor? By

performing very inconspicuous ser-

vices, which showed the real spirit of

the man. He did’ net hanker for the

footlights. He was a personal attend-

ant on Peter for a long time, prob-

ably for' years, till the old apostle re

fers to him.as “my son.” He was

what you would call a “handy man,

quietly adequate for all emergencies,

prompt, ’alert, willing, loyal, efficient.”

He made himself indispensable to the

HE relation between Mark and

Peter we learn from Papias, who

died about '163. Papias said that Mark

was the interpreter of Peter and wrote

down accurately whathe remembered

hearing Peter say. This was a very

humble piece of service, but note!”

Mark’s ”gospel has beauties and traits

unknown to the others. His gospel

is the gospel of untirin‘g activity. He

gives a series of pictures of the life

of our Lord that are unforgetable. He

A few years ago the writer visited

Venice. The attraction of Venice is

its 'cathedral, the cathedral of St.

Mark. It is one of the wonder build-

St. Mark once" was blown ashore at

Venice, and preached to the people.

In 820 the body of Mark was brought

from Alexandria to Venice. Because

JOINT OWNERSHIP on-srns

SPELLS PROGRESS.





FEW years ago up in Grand Trav-

erse county a. few neighbors need-

ed a. few pure-bred females, and nat-

urally wanted a pure-bred sire. In-

stead of each going out and buying as

good a. sire as they could afford they

all went out together and bought one

outstanding sire, each putting in what

he could afford.

The result is that this. bull has

stamped his image upon his offspring

to a high degree, and the improve-





» ment in quality of the several crops





 





attention was paid to pure-breds and

the attendant good-dairy practices-

UNIQUE SALE PLANNED FOR

N Thursday, September 20th,

about thirty cows with cow test-

ing association records of 300 pounds .

of butterfat or better will be sold at

the West Michigan Fair, Grand Rap-

ids, Michigan.



This sale is unique in the history

of Michigan Dairy Cattle sales. It is

the first'eftort that is being made‘to

sell, at public sale, cows on a straight

cow testing association basis. Very

much interest is evident throughout

the cow testing association area of

Michigan.



The requirement for entry in this

sale is a year’s record in a Michigan

cow testing association. The record

must be three hundred pounds of but-

terfat or better, the cow to be T. B.

Farmers will be able to

definite basis of actual dollars and

Considerable interest is evident in

a number of associations to make en-

stall space, bedding and feed, and in

addition is furnishing a high-class

auctioneer free of charge. With six-

ty-one cow testing associations in

Michigan totaling about eighteen

thousand dairy cows and representing

eighteen hundred cow testing associa-

PA Simple Problem in

- Arithmetic" .'





According to an investigation by

the Univer’sity of Illinois on 66 dairy

farms, it was found that 133.9 hours

' er year Were required to milk a cow



y hand. A De Laval Milker will

cut this time in two and save at least

62 hours per cow‘per year over hand

milking, and at 15 cents per hour a

saving of $9.30 per cow per year

will be effected, which is equal to

6% of $155 for just one cow, or $1550

for ten cows, etc. ‘



, This is a very conservative way of

figuring the value of the time—saving

feature of a De Laval Milker. In

actual use it may save





Milker users, and especially those

who weigh their milk and know, do

say they get more milk, taking the

herd as a whole over a period of a

year—some as high as 20%; and

10%, based on the results obtained

by many users, seems conservative.

Ten per cent of 5000 pounds of milk

per year —about the average produc-

tion per cow per year —- is 500 pounds,

which at $2.20 per cwt. , the average

price of fluid milk in the United

States delivered at country stations

during 1922, would be $11.00 per cow

per year. Then add this to the valueof

There are many situations impossible

to foresee that may justify the pur-

chase of a De Laval Milker, and

which often do save enough in other

ways to pay for a De Laval in a year.



But saving time is only part of

the advantage of a De Laval Milker.

Suppose a De Laval, because of its

uniform, vigorous and stimulating

action, will increase production 10%.

Of course the De Laval Company

can’t guarantee such an increase, as

there are so many uncontrollable

factors,such as health, feed, climate,

care, etc. But practically all De Laval

some of the best sales held in Michi—

KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW.





 





AIRYMEN find it difficult to keep

the milk flow up to where it

should be during the late summer

months. Then pastures, unless fa-

vored with frequent rain, are bound

to decline.



At Forest Grove Farm our pasture

holds up wonderfully well during the

late summer months; however, I do





after the first of August.

sown corn was ready for feeding by

August 6, and I am feeding it as liber-

ally as the cows will clean it up.





Iconsider it a profitable plan to feed

the cows as much roughage as they

will clean up in the stable during the

late summer months, since roughage

is the cheapest source of milk—produc-

ifig feed. '



Supplemental roughage feeds such

as sweet corn, oats and pea hay, al-

falfa and clover hay are par—excellent

to help out pasture, but it has been

my experience that in order to keep

up the milk flow a well balanced

grain ration'must be supplied to re-

inforce the roughage feed.



I aim to make up my grain ration

for my cows just as far as possible





therefore, compound my grain from

oats, barley, corn, which is ground,

WHEAT



Numerous revisions in the world’s

wheat supply statistics have disposed

of most of the excess which was in

prospect two months ago. The crop

estimate for the United States has

been reduced about 42,000,000 bushels

in that time and the official estimate

. for Canada is about 50,000,000 bushels

under the July promise. In addition,

both our winter and spring wheat is

running to off-grades w ile it has been

necessary to put speci 1 grades into

effect on the Canadian crop because

such a high percentage is of low mill-

ing quality. The estimate 61’ the last

crop in India has been revised dowry

ward 33,000,000 bushels so that the

carryover in that country on July 1

was much smaller than supposed.

While the exportable surpluses have

been shrinking rapidly, there is

enough left to supply probable pur-

chases of importing countries. Europe

outside of Russia grew 162,000,000

bushels more wheat this year than

last, according to the United States

Department of Agriculture. Imports

will probably not be reduced a like

amount but with buying power im-

paired, foreignersare apt to pursue

their present hand-to—mouth policy, es-

gecially for a while after their own



arvests have been gathered. Prices





- have responded to these reductions in





the world surpluys as they have be-

come known. However, wheat is still

pouring into primary markets at a

rather heavy rate from both white

and spring wheat areas and the visi-

ble supply is mounting.





OATS





Oats prices have strengthened as

the after haryest movement has been

a light one so far and feeding demand

,is rather keen.





. CORN

This year’s corn crop will probably

exceed 3,000,000,000 bushels but it

must run the hazardof a killing frost.

Rains and cold weather have delayed





' ' maturity, and most of the crop will not .

'. be “out of danger before the middle to

This dawns ’ '





 





   





ed doWn in the last few days, but pric«

es are still close to the season’s high

point. Export demand is negligible as

Argentine corn is about twenty cents

under ours. A' moderate decline is

certain by the time new corn begins

to move, but the market may remain

close to the present level for another





month.

SEEDS





A sharp advance in timothy seed





‘ prices featured the seed markets last





week. New crop is now coming on

the market but the total yield undoubt-

edly is much smaller than a year ago.





FEEDS





The sharp advance in by—product

feed prices dulled .the demand from

retailers and consumers to some ex-

tent. Bran was quoted as much as

$9 per ton higher thanat the low

point during the summer, represent—

ing an advance of about fifty per cent

so that a moderate setback is logical.

Broadly speaking, supply and demand

conditions point to higher feed prices

this fall and ‘winter than a year ago.

Cloversed prices have held most of

their recent gains.





HAY





Hay prices made additional gains

last week. Demands for good timothy

exceeds the supply at nearly all mar-

kets and prices of low grades have

been boosted. The south and south-

west states are buying alfalfa ac-





tively. .

WOOL .





The wool market is still quiet as

this is the usual vacation period in

the industry, it is between seasons in

foreign markets and buyers are“wait-

ing for the new season to open, mills

are fairly well supplied with raw ma-

terial, new orders for goods are not

being placed in large volume and the

buyers have been reducing their rate

of operations although it is still fairly

high. More life is expected in the

market after Labor Day. The new

clip in Australia is estimated at 1,-

918,000 bales, and in New Zealand at

583,000 bales, compared with 1,941,000

bales and 533,000 bales, respectively,

last year.

Egg prices continued on their up-

ward trend last week as an active de-

mand for light receipts of select qual-

ity eggs developed. Receipts of fresh

eggs continue far ahead of last year

but withdrawals from cold storage are

light as compared with a year ago

when large supplies were moved out

to supplement current receipts. This

situation is responsible for the gen-

eral belief that storage egg prices are

in line for a decline.

BUTTER





Light receipts of fancy butter was

the price-sustaining factor last week

as the prevailing sentiment was decid-

edly easier. With .widespread cool

rains, reasonably good pastures and

production conditions generally better

than at this time a year ago, when

receipts declined rapidly as a'result

of drought and hot weather, dealers

feel secure in their belief that fall and

winter butter production will be heav-

ier than last year, and are holding off

for a lower market. The production

of Creamery Butter Manufacturers

reports of the American Association

showed a, fractional increase in the

make over the same week a year ago

for the first time in nearly two months

which may mark the beginning of the

anticipated heavier, make. Foreign

butter markets are a little too high to

be attractive but some. shipments of

Danish purchased at lower levels ar-

rived in New York last week.



Prices on 92-score were: Chicago,

45c; New York 450. In Detroit fresh

creamery in tubs sells for 42@43c.





CHEESE





Cheese prices retained the level'

reached a week ago, although trading

was slow as buyers were not interest~

ed beyond supplying immediate needs.

Higher country quotations reached as

the week advanced appeared to have

little effect on dealers’ efforts to push

sales, even though concessions were

necessary to move their stocks. Pric-

es on American cheese on September

1 were: ‘

POTATOES





Potato prices declined last week un-

der a substantial increase in the car-

lot movement which has gained about

50 per cent in the last two weeks.

Producing sections will probably ship

in increasing volume from this time

on up to the middle of October, which

usually sees the peak of the carlot

movement. Early Ohios, U. S. No. 1,

are .quoted at $1.65@1.75 per 100 lbs.,

sacked, in the Chicago markets, with

round whites at $2@2.75.

ADDITIONAL COUNTY REPORTS.





 





Marqeutte 00., Sept. 1.——Grain crops

are looking fair. A heavy wind and

rain storm has lodged many fields.

Early potatoes are being dug and sell

here at $1.25 per bushel. Fruit is look-

ing good. Early apples are ripe and

selling at $2 per bushel. Butter 45c;

eggs 35@40c. Late potatoes are look-

ing very good as is also garden truck.

Field peas are ripening and promise

to yield well. Hay was a poor crop





‘ and pasture is dry.





,Mason 00., Aug. 24.-—On August 20

we had the first heavy rain since the

last of May. The drouth damaged all

crops to some .extent. Tree fruits

stood the situation the best of all.

Farmers are now picking their Duch-

ess apples. Most apple trees are load—

ed with fruit, but, onaccount of dry

weather, the apples are small. Auc-

tion, sales are being advertised al-

ready—R. W- B.



Tuscola 00., Aug. 30.—-In. this local-

ity wheat will be about one-half of a

crop, and the grain is now selling at

91 cents per bushel, with very. little

offered for sale. The cat crop will be

consumed on the farms. Hay is about





$3 per ton higher than last year and is '





a fair crop. Farmers are baling from

stacks with the work in full swing.

There is plenty of. rain for late beans

and potatoes. Some beans are already

pulled and in the barn. Late potatoes

promise a fair yield. Young cattle are





in fine flesh, but not very plentiful-





Threshing is almost done, with small

grains yielding only fair returns.

Wheat will be fed extensively in this

section—A. H.





BEEF SUPPLY RUNNING LARGE.





 





Another wave ’ of southwestern

grassers. and western rangers struck

the leading cattle markets last week,

raising the beef supply indicator an-

other tenper cent to the highest point

of the season, and about 50 per cent

above the May and June level, even

after allowing for larger, purchases of

stockers and feeders. Kansasflity re-

ceived 51,508 cattle on August 27, the

largest number ever “known to arrive

at one market on oné‘ day. and also es-

tablished a new two-day total of ap—

proximately 80,000. Only in~a minor

degree is the heavy movement a re-

sult of forced selling because of drouth

or tight money. .

WATCH QUALITY OF CRIMSON

CLOVER SEED.





 





HE seed-testing [laboratories of



the U. S. Department of Agricul-

ture warns farmers to be careful of

the quality of the crimson clover seed

they purchase.“ During the month of

June, these laboratories tested many

samples from representative, dealers,

and found that one-fifth of them con-

tained less than 25% and two-fifths

less than 65% pure live crimson clov-

er seed. In other words, two-fifths

of the samples submitted were of

such poor quality that 'they would not

be permitted into the United States

under the Seed Importation Act.

The proportion of high—quality seed

offered will increase when the 1923

crop comes on the market, but the

farmer should keep in mind that

crimson clover seed loses its vitality

more rapidly than most other seeds,

and therefore he should be more care-

ful regarding its purchase.





In some counties of this state, the

county agents are advocating the

seeding of SWeet clover along the

roadside. The clover will eventually

very favorable, but there have 'been





sary, a thing that is the business of

, theparents and of no One else. I must

insist, however, that the question

whether children are or are not well

nourished is the business of all the

taxpayers who are obliged to support





is either obliged to “repeat”1





average of his class. .

Another important ‘ feature,

serves to make it the business of every

parent is that the malnourishedchild

is a great focus for. the spread of con-





authOrity on diseases of children,

says, “The undernourished child takes

everything." Measles, scarlet fever,

and tuberculosis make their most

deadly inroads among children whose

vitality is belOw hermal. Malnutrition,

in itself, seldom causes death but as

providing an open door to the deadly

diseases that are most terrible to chil-

dren, it has no equal.



MalnutritiOn may be a cause of poor

teeth and other defects, and on the

other hand, it may be caused by these

physical errors.

inadequate supply of mineral sub-

stances deprives the bones and the

teeth of that which they need for

proper development. In the second,

the poisonous effects of bad teeth, dis-

eased tonsils or other defects of the

body interfere so seriously with diges-

tion and aSsimilation of food that no

matter what the diet, the child re-

mains undernourished.

When a child remains poor and

skinny in spite of every effort at prop-

er feeding he should be given the at-

tention of someone capable of making

a thorough physical examination. De—

cayed teeth, diseased tonsils, catar-

rhal infections or other conditions

may be found to exist. Once they are

removed the improvement of'the child

in every way, meeting with no further

handicaps, will be remarkable.
