N the fall of 1917 my son, John G
Woodman, purchased a piece of
land adjoining the homestead on
the north. 'In a state of nature it was
typical “openings. ” The surface undu-
lating. originally covered with a some-

’ what scattering growth of oak and

with rank growing bluestem and Indi-
an grasses. A few burial mounds, still
visible, relics of the mysterious peeple
who occupied the land before the In-
dians came, dotted its surface. ,

The soil varies, ranging from a fair-
ly good sandy loam, to a light thin
sand. Broken up about three‘quarters

of a century ago, for many years it

produced good crops of clover and
grain. About twenty-five years ago
the clover began to fail and the land‘
gradually grew less productive until it
became distinctly poor“ Its history

‘ has been that of a large proportion of

the lighter oak opening lands in south-

. ern Michigan andits condition when

purchased was neither better nor-
worse than that of many thousands of

. acres of similar soil in this part of the

state.

The fall the land was bought it was
sown to rye, two and one-half tons of
finely ground limestone per acre was
'applied. Timothy was sown with the
rye in the fall and clover was drilled
in the spring following, both clover
and timothy made a good start.
the firSt of July the clover had disap-
peared and by August 15 the timothy
was dead, except in isolated spots.
The season, while rather dry, was not
especially unfavorable for securing a.
seeding. "

This year ten acres of the land

' where, in 1918, neither clover noritim-

othy would stick, produced 345 bush-
els of potatoes per acre. A brief de-

scription of the treatment given this

The second yea1,
the field was m’own three times, the
total yield being two and one-half tons

1921,

to the acre. Both years the hay was
sold, producing a net income suffi—
cient to pay the interest on the total
investment and a moderate additional
profit. ,

During thespring and early summer
of 1922, nine tons of good manure per
acre was spread on the field. About
July first the alfalfa was mown down
and left 011 the ground. Through this
mulch of hay and manure came a
strong, vigorous second growth. The
thin spots received an extra dose of
manure during the latter part of. the
summer. The land was not pastured

phate per acre was spread over the
field and disced in. The last days of
June, twenty-eight bushels of certified
seed to the acre were planted. The

' crop received the usual cultivation and

was sprayed thoroughly with bordeaux
mixture six times. ‘

As a rule the weather was favorable
up to October 5, when a heavy frost
killed the vines. The crop was har-
vested the latter part of October and
3,450 bushel crates of potatoes were
taken from the field. 011 the west
side along the highway is a row of
sugar maples about seventy years old,
and on the east side a body of second
growth oak. The half acre shaded by
these two boundaries of timber yield-

ed ninety bushels. The rest of the
field produced slightly over three hum,
dred and fifty crates per acre. lnas-‘
much as the young man paid by the
male to have the tubers picked up, it
is unnecessary to say that the crates
went to the potato cellar well filled.
The land will be fitted for cats next
spring without plowing. Alfalfa will
be seeded with the oats, with the cer-
tainty that it will catch and stick. Dry
weather will not kill it. «
What was done with the rest of the
purchase? It was all seeded to alfalfa
during the first three years after it
came into the hands of the present
owner. A part of it was plowed this
fall and sown to wheat, the rest is
still in alfalfa. The greater portion of
the hay raised on all this land since
it was seeded has been sold and a rea-
sonable cash income has been derived
from the investment while the soil-
building process has been going on.

While the nine tons of manure per
acre, and the potash, aided materially
in producing a good yield, after all, it
was the alfalfa that made the 345
crates possible. Clover in its best
days, with only nine tons of manure,
to go with it, would not have produced
the crop returned by this alfalfa sod,
mulched by the hay crops that grew
on it last year.

Similar cases of soil renovation can
be seen 011 hundreds of farms in these
southern counties. Ride where you
will over our pleasant “opening” lands
and you will see fields covered by the
green mantle of alfalfa. Their num-
ber is multiplying every summer and
the gift of prophecy no longer is need:
ed to foresee and tell what will hap—
pen in the next few years to the de-
pleted sandy loams that have been
“the agricultural problem” of lower'
Michigan.

An Ole Hircd‘Man O’ Mine

By P.. P. Pope

HAD a short visit the other day
with any old hired man of mine. He

is well known to people hereabouts

as Edd Carey. - He came to work here
on Francisco Farm back in 1915 and
drew down the whole of $28 a month.
He spent five years with us and
when .he left he had acquired a num—
ber of the things. that go to make life
worth living; namely, a beautiful
young wife,a sweet little babe, a com-

' . fertable household equipment, a cow,
. a small car, and $500 in cash.

If you
ask Ed he Will also say that he had

‘ learned a few things about farming.

Makes the Farm Pay.

Although I cannot explain, it has—5'8-
come sort of a habit with men who
spend a few yea1s with me, to go di-
rectly to farming for themselves: when
This man followed the
usual custom, and, although his first
years on rented farms have been the

. hardest years of this generation, the

story he tells is well worth passing on

. _ to those who have been led to believe-

that farming doesn’t pay any more.
Mr. Carey is an especially good

.giinterest and unbounded faith in the
farm, and Who are intelligent enough

cently offered nearly twice what they
cost him. He has a very good farm-
ing equipment and says: “I bought
me a new giain drill this spring, a
new sulky cultivator, and a new beet
rack, and seve1al smaller tools My
first beet check for the 1923 c1op has
given me enough to pay up all my
bills, besides paying for all the hand
labor, and I have more than half of
the crop to hear from next month. My
lent is all paid and I don’t owe any.
man a dollar. I have rented the same
farm for two more years, cash rent,
and now I Want a few good cows and
I’ll have to comemover to your house
after. awhile and get‘ another pig.”
‘Mr. Carey has abundant confidence
in the farm, and his confidence is
founded upon experience. Good seed,
placed in good soil, in good season,
and tended with plenty of hard work,
has it all over a city job, even in
these days, in his opinion.

It is men of his stamp, who are not
afraid of hard work who have a keen

to” apply 1115117. tame, only, to good

. soils, with adapted crops, and first-

 

mans-1y. 3"»...Lzlw..-rn.-... ’ '

'four fall gilts, a class of four yearling

class live stock, who will be among
the successful farmers of tomorrow.
Then unless history turns round and
goes backward, those who stay by the
job these difficult days will be in line
for the higher rewards that are to
follow. ,

And right in this connection may it
not be interesting to add a word about
a thing that, happened at our farm
the other day, which indicates a little
of the kind of training being given
our future farmers.

Judging Live Stock.

Professor Cobb, head of the depart-
ment of agriculture of the nearby Nor-
mal College, came out to the farm re-
cently with his animal husbandry
class. The boys, a dozen or more of
them, spent a couple of hours in going
over the live stock and getting some
practical experience in cemparative

, judging.

We turned out for them to work on
a class of four aged sows, a class of.

heifers and a. pair of young bulls.

We enjoy having these boys. come,
and are always glad to spend an hour
With them. They get a worthwhile

-

- will make it a. go, as has Mr. Carey

experience in actual live stock judg-
ing, and learn the feel of a good cow,
the value of true action in a horse, ,or
of breed character in a hog. These
things they cannot get from books or
charts.

We lealn what the public thinks
when they look at our stock. The
casual visitor may be backward about
saying what he thinks for fear of giv-
ing offence, but these lads do not hes-
itate to call attention to the crooked
feet, the deficient hearth girth or the
high tail head, and, believe me, if
those things we there, these lads are
sure to find them

It is an interesting event for all of
us, and all too soon the professor
calls, “time, ” and there is a scurrying
for the cars, the motors start, they
wave a good- -bye to us and roll down .
the road to the next class. We shall -'
see them again next term.

In this way, many of the boys of
today are getting a new light on farm- .
ing and, as a consequence, will early
learn many of the good signs, as well
as the numerous warnings, along the

.way toward successful agriculture. '

Many of them, without doubt; will
have a deep abiding interest in agri— f,
culture and, largely because of this. ~‘ "

7 PCURRENT COMMENT

,Everythingis uncertain except death

-and taxes, and farm taxes during the ,

past few years have almost been com—
parable to death.

'One of our economists predicts a
premising future. He says that in a
- few- years the farmer will be better off

1" a r n1 e 1' s are
making some progress
in the development of
cooperative market-
“ ing. they have yet a
7717071717g.way to go before the marketing
prOblem is solved. If we are to reach
angearly and satisfactory solution of
this problem, we must all do some
7' constructive thinking along this line,
' both individually and collectively and
7then act on the conclusions reached
in an intelligent manner.
The plinciple of coopeiative maiket—
_ ing as a means of solving the problem
7 is77 so essentially sound that there a1e
77' few farmers who have given the mat-
7té1'caietul thought who do not 1ecog-
nize it as the best, if not the only
available solution of the problem. In
addition to this it has been so well
demonstrated that cooperative 'organ‘
ization along commodity lines is the
most effective type of marketing or-

ganization that there is not much di-
vision of opinion among thinking farm-
ers on this point.

This is real progress toward the de-
sired end of a successful solution of
-,the._problem. It may also be said that
it is satisfactory progress, when the
difficulties involved in developing a
new,program of such magnitude are
consideied

That the visible 1esults of this p10-
gram, as it has been worked out to
date in this state,a1e not wholly sat-
isfactory to many of the farmers who
have aided in its promotion, is too evi—
dentgto bexdisregarded, when the de—
sirability of the early solution of the
problem is considered. It is our be-

:lief that a full and frank discussion
of.;the whole problem from a disinter-
ested standpoint would clarity the sit-
uation and aid in the crystallization
.-o,f_,.0pinion among the farmers of the
state to an extent which would mate-
,rially aid in hastening the ultimate
“ solution of the problem, and to this
end we have determined to discuss
and to invite the discussion of all
phases of the problem in our columns

count of the centro-
versy between the
Secretary of Agricul-
ture and the National
Real Estate Boa1d regarding the best
policy to follow in the matter of our
law lands.

Natuially, the ma] estate men are
anxious to bling in colonies to take
up the remaining available agricultural
land, _while the secretary points out

- that this would tend to aggravate .the
7 disoouraging'situation from which the

farmer has just begun to emerge. --
Some time ago, the development
bureaus of Michigan were confronted
with this matter. They finally-chose
to take the side defended by the Sec-
retary of agriculture. As a result,

they have discontinued, almost entire?

ly. the expenditure of funds in adver-
tising for additional settlers that they
might have more- energy and funds to
assist the men and women now on the
land in making good.

Farmers generally are in full sym-
pathy with the position of the Secre-

taxy of Agricultuie and the develop:

ment bureaus in this matter. Any con-
siderable expansion of p1 oduction area
is most ceitain to delay the time When
agriculture will stand on a par with
othe1 i11dust1ies. When the adjustment
between agricultuie and the commer-
cial and manufacturing world is com-
plete and our consumption and pro-
duction are more nearly balanced,
farming is bound to be remunerative.
Then, the work of colonizing our re-
maining raw lands should become
easy.

{ME for the an-

nual round-up is
near at hand. We
should be thinking
about it. It will not
be necessary to sad-
dle the cow ponies nor uncoil the lar—
iat. A pencil and plenty of paper,
your old check stubs and bank book,
day-book or memorandum pad are all
the equipment that is required.

There is an endless number of ques-

will dig in and find it. Truly enough,
the answer may not always be what
we would like to have it, but it will
not hurt us to leain the facts, and the
facts will give us some rather definite
information upon which to base our
farming operations for the coming

It seems that only too often we
travel life’s journey even less philos-
ophically than our dumb friends. They
accept mutely the inevitable and for-
get it, while we often, with our active
minds, are wont to add doleful decor-
ations to our already drab surrbund-
ings.

The human mind can be our great-
est asset; it can also be our greatest
liability. Each of us determine, often
unconsciously, 011 which side of the
human ledger our minds are to be.
If we can look at the sun while the
thorns prick our feet, the pricking of
the thorns will not be noticed so
much. But if we are wont to be dole-
ful we can make each thorn prick
seem an almost unbearable torture.

It has been the clinging to an idea,
to a philosophy of life, that has made
our great men great. They have ac—
cepted each buffet as a challenge to
greater things, or perhaps as a lesson
which was to teach a greater appre-
ciation of the good things of life.

The good and the bad are about us.
Each of us alone makes his choice.
The’good will repay all it costs; the

AYBE the night before Xmus is
as still «as a. mouse stealln'
cheese, but the week before ain‘t. It's
somethin' like the mouse chewin’ sev-

Mornin’, noon and night, all I hear is
about Xmus; what somebody is goin'
to give somebody, and what somebody-
wants and ain’t goin’ to get. 'They's
wonderin’ whether they should give
somebody else somethin', ’cause some
body else gave them somethln’ last
year, and they is wonderin' how much
what somebody else gave them cost,
so they kin spend
as much but no
more, and so forth

and etc.

Sophie is keep-

when she gets dinner ready, so long
as she kin get them what-you-call-em’s
done. My comfort and appetite ain’t
got no considerashun these days, even
if they are of considerable conse-
quence to me.

Sari, Sammie and Babe just thinks
I’m a. millionaire. They want me to
buy a railroad and a Oughto and a
house and a piano and a buggy, and so
forth and etc. Of course, they's just
toys, but I’m goin' to fool them; I’m
goin’ to buy Sari one of them ventril-

out openin’ her mouth. .(I just wonder
what she would say if she did open
her mouth). And Sammie? Sophie, she
won’t let me buy him 7a drum, ’cause
it makes too much noise, so I’mgoin’
to buy a tootin’ horn instead.

I look back over the last five

years I realize that Benjamin Frank-

. 1111 Was not guessing—he knew.

I spent moat of my life in the city.

I knew practically nothing of farming.

the city. I decided to sell my business
and become a gentleman farmer.
During the six months previous to

- _ the time I embarked upon my new

career I read all of the general infor-
mation concerning farming that I
could get. By the time I ‘was settled
in my new home I considered myself
well equipped to proceed with my new.
profession. As I look back on that time
now I realize that I did not have even
a basis upon which to build the store
of knowledge it was necessary for me
to acquire before I could hope to sue—
ceed.

I started by buying a run-down farm

about fourteen miles from the city. In

my opinion the owner had been lazy

' and shiftless because of lack of inter-
est in his work, and I was getting a
bargain. I paid dearly for my egotism
in thinking that I could beat another
man at his own game. In addition to
the land being poor, the implements
'were in such bad condition that many
of them had to be replaced. After hav-
ing replaced several machines at the
prevailing high prices I decided to see
what my neighbors might have to of—
fer. I posted a notice in the general
store to the effect that I was in the
market for some good second-hand
equipment.

I was an angel to that community.
Everything destined for the scrap
heap, and'"‘some things that I suspect
were already there, immediately as-
By early summer, I
was the possessor of therbest looking
junk pile in the vicinity, but in no case
was I so badly “stuck” as with my
seeds, which I purchased from a local
dealer. '

I spared neither time nor expense in

preparing my ground for planting. I
followed the best prescribed methods
and placed my fields in what I con-
sidered perfect condition before a seed
was sown. My experiences since that
time have taught me that my cultiva-
tion preparatory to planting was one
of the few things that I did‘right. Af-
ter the seed was in the ground I in-
dulged in a mental picture of it at
maturity. It resembled the advertis-
ing pictures sent out by a real. estate

one regrettable experience I was will-
ing to try anything, and decided to try
it before planting the following year.

When purchasing seeds for the pre-
vious year I had bought on the theory
that it was better to have too much
than too little. As a result, I still had,
in the granary, seed of practically e1 e—
ry kind that I had planted I took a
sample of each and, with the coopera-
tion of a son who, though small, was
a most interesting associate, went to

dealer. Picture my chagrin when I
gazed upon acre after acre that re-
sembled nothing so much as an art-
ist’s pallette. In some fields I had
most of the colors of the rainbow,
while in others there were huge spots
that were sparsely grown, or almost
barren. There could be only one solu-
tion to the question~inferior seed.

I took the many jocular remarks
that were passed for my benefit as
best I could and determined not to be

work. At the expiration of the first
week I was firmly convinced that the
next year would be a bumper one for
crops. I felt that 'I had a corner on
all of the adulterated seed in the
world.

In addition to the wheat, which I

\knew I was purchasing, we found the

seeds of the sand burr, wild oats,
chess (or cheat seeds), as well as dar-
nel, cockle, and the much dreaded
frenchwood. The cats test yielded
samples of wild oats, chess, bull mus-
tard, Wild mustard, and ragweed. To
the alfalfa we were indebted for spec-
imens of dock, wild carrot, clover dod-

der, night flowering catchfly, and oth-v

ers. The rest of the grains tested
produced practically the same results
with the exception of the clovar: It
was worse, containing over thirty dif-

ferent varieties of seeds, prominent .
among which were clover dodde‘r', blade~ '

der champion, night floweringz'eatchv
fly, frenchweed, wild mustard, .Wild
carrot, and rat-tailed plantain. ,

The tests for adulteration had been
so productive that we decided to' test
for germination. In testing corn we
used the rag doll type of tester. It
was evident from the result that, the
early freeze of the previous fall had
affected our seed, as forty per cent of
that tested germinated less than
eighty per cent. In testing our forage
seeds we used a soil test and they
showed to better advantage. However,
there was a comparatively small
amount of them on hand, and the adul—
teration test had shown their grade to
be so poor that we decided to discard
them and make a fresh start.

This time we tested samples of eve-
ry different kind of seed that we had
bought. We knew we were getting the
best possible grades before we pur-
chased, and the result justified the
time and labor expended in obtaining
them. Corn was our best crop and we
averaged forty—nine bushels per acre
from a field that had not yielded thir-
ty the year before. Our crops were
the surprise of the neighborhood and
I received congratulations where I
had received ridicule the previous

I have followed this system‘_Since
that time with uniform success and,
for the past two years, my farm has
been one of the show places of the
neighborhood. It is pointed to with
pride by the same men who ridiculed
me at the end of my first year, but
the biggest compliment paid me was
when they followed in my footsteps.
There are seventeen men in my 00m-
munity who planted tested seeds this
year. They realize that enough haz-
ards are encountered after the seeds
are in the ground without making a
positive discount on the yield by plant-
ing inferior seeds and are as firmly
convinced as I that it is the only
method by which they can insure a
successful 010p.

Interestmg Plans of Financmg Me Dairy 8221272651 —-—By L. A. (Mare

URING the past year a successful
effort has been made in several
counties of the Upper Peninsula
to finance an improved dairy farming

‘ program with the aid of capital secur-

ed from banks and business men, or
through the organization of stock com-
panies participated in by farmers and
business men alike.

The capital thus provided is employ-

_ ed in the purchase of highxgrade and

pure-bred dairy cattle, commonly im-

' ported from some high-class dairy sec-
‘tion outside the district. ,The so—called
I“Ashland Plan” has been presented to

farmers through a series of meetings
at various times and places, and has
been followed with such variations as

' local conditions seem to call for.

The farm of contract used in Goge-
bic county states that the would-be

purchaser of: cattle applies to three

persons named in the contract as trus-

"tees appointed by the Ironwood banks

that are to underwrite the financing,

poultry get-together during the
week of Thanksgiving. Not only
the chicken men, but the chickens
themselves were there, not the fur-
coated, silk-stoCkinged variety, but the
feather kind.
The fundamental occasion of this

, chicken convocation was the Annual

Michigan Poultry Show, staged by the
West Michigan Poultry Association.
The accessory occasions were the
meeting of the Michigan Poultry Pro-
ducers’ Association, culling schools,
students' judging conteSts, and rooster
fights

Tine poultry show had everything,

HAS A VARIETY OF WINTER
WORK. '~ .

 

UMMER profits depend upon winter

preparations. These include keep-
ing as many fall and Winter fresh cows
as possible, hauling the manure to
fields as rapidly as it is made, feeding
the separated milk to comfortably
housed fall pigs, saving the tools by
protection from weather, and through
proper repairing, feeding up all fodder
and coarse g1ain on the farm, and get-
ting everything in ship— shape for the
summer campaign—GeOrge W. Rice.

cows' AND Hangs DO IT.

I WILL explain, in a few words, how
I keep busy during the Winter

Thonths pay expenses, and make a lit-
tle income. I have a farm of eighty
acres, on which we keep twenty-seven
pure-bred Holsteins and as few hun-
d'red White Leghorn chickens.

We plan to have tWelve cows milk-
ing the year around, and from these
we secure an average of $200 a month
throughout the year. Every morning
after the cattle are milkedand the
barns cleaned, the manure is taken to
the fields. I raise all the feed con-
sumed by the herd.

We have two coops of White Leg-
horn chickens, one hundred and twen-
ty-five in each coop. These coops are

are well cared for and they return
around $100 per month for the year.
We raise all the feed required for the
chickens, including green feed. Each
year, we hatch about four hundred
chickens, from which our laying stock
is selected. We get $1.00 for the year-
ling hens in the fall. '

This keeps me busy throughout the
winter months. ,I usually work from
five in the morning until seven at
night. My Wife and I do all this work,
only hiring at theshing and silofilling
time.-——F. A. Beasore.

so busy laying that they had not had
time to change their clothes for the
show.

The culling schools were instructed
by Professor Foreman, and others, of
M. A. C. The students’ contests were
to determine the M. A. C. team which
would go to the big show at Chicago
to compete with teams from other
states, and the cock fight was a tame
affair because the officers of the law

afford to

 

would not allow the roosters to follow
standard fistic regulations.

not taken. In order that the words of
wisdom there given may be 'spread

AGE OF MARRIAGE.

 

A giil got married at the age of fif-
teen, paxents saying she was sixteen.
“’as it a legal marriage? What can
be done now? Can a girl get married
'at the age of eighteen if her parents
object? How old must a girl he to
nget married without her parents’ con-
sent?—A R.

The statute forbids llw clerk to is-

sue ,marriage license for a

the personal consent of one of her par-
ents or her legal guardian. If she is
older than that no consent is neces-
sary. Marriage under the age of con-

 

sent and without the consent of the

parent is not void, and can be avoided

only by the female. The person illeg-
lally performing the license is crim-
inally liable. —Rood.

TURNING COWS OUT IN COLD:
WEATHER.

 

I would like to know if turning mllk-'
ing cows out in the cold, dries them
up?——S.

A cow, to do her best, must be kept
comfortable.
when'she is compelled to stay out in
the cold, winter weather.

Have a warm, dry, well-lighted sta—
ble and keep her indoms when the
Weather is very cold and stormy. But
as soon as the weather modifies let
her out for exercise, but put her back
before ’ she becomes chilled. Don’t
have 1.110 sf'ab‘l'e too warm. Forty or
fifty degrees is about, right.

POISON FOR NOXIOUS ANIMALS.

Will you please past: me on the law
as to using poison f‘or noxious ani-
mals? Innderstand it is not lawful
to use poison. but the slate hunlprs
are using it every winter in 1119 Upper
Peninsula. 11' it‘ is lawful for them,
why not for a farmm-f’MG. F.

Compiled Laws 1915, Suction 15353,
forbidding the mixture of poisonous
substancas and exposing them where
they might be eaten by horscs, Cattle,
dogs or other animals of another, ex-
pressly permits the placing of poisons
0n the promises of the owner, outside
of an incorporated city or village, and
with proper safeguards, for the de-
struction of: predatory ‘or dangerous
prowling animals.-——Rood.

 

TO PREVENT MULBERRIES BEAR-
ING FRUlT.

 

Would like to know whether there
is anything that can be done to bre-
vent a mulberry tree from bearing
fruit. We have a large one in our
front yard which never fails to hear.
The fruit draws the flies and chick-
ens, wfhifih makes it very disagreeable.

The mulberry tree has two kinds of
flowersmthe male flowers, which pro-
duce pollen but do not produce fruit,
and the female flowers which produce
fruit. These two kinds of flowers are
on separate trees. In most plants it
is necessary for the pollen to reach
the pistil in order that the fruit may
develop, . This is why an apple tree
covered with "netting so that .bees and
other insects can not reach the flow-

. ers’iwill‘not produce fruit, even though

[the/pollen is produced in the same
flowers with the pistils, for, in the
case 01' the apple, the pollen, being
somewhat sticky, can not reach the
pistil unless carried by an insects. Un-
fortunately, in the case of some kinds
of mnlberries, fruits will be produced
on the female flowers without pollen-
ation. These fruits, however, do not
contain Viable seeds. This being the
case, I know of nothing that can be
done to prevent the tree from bearing
fruit.
belly tree and f1 uit is not wanted, one

BANKERS FAVOR COOPERATION.

 

T the recent meeting, the Ameri-
can Bankersf Association, in an-

Av nual convention, declared themselves
«favorable to cooperative farm market-

ing. This suggests that our national

. bankers have awakened to the fact

that the cooperative organization has
become a permanent institution, and
that unless the bankers fall in line
with the movement, other ,means of
financing would ultimately be provid-
ed. This action of bankers should,
therefore, prove a distinct advantage
in financing cooperatives. .

About Farm Machines andthe :

MCCormick—Deering Line

THE U. S. Departhent of
Agriculture has shown that
farm equipment is one of the
smallest items in the cost of
farming, the yearly average being
only 4 to 8% of the total.

Farm machines are sold for less money,
pound for pound and quality, for quality,
than any other similar manufactured
article. Yet in profitable farming there
is nothing more important than good
equipment.

Check the cost ofyour farm machines
against the rest of your investment —-
land, buildings, labor, live stock, etc.—
and your figures will probably agree
with the average.

Now is a good time to inspect the
condition of your machines. Most of
them have been used lately. Are any of
them worn out? Are some of them so
out of date that it does not pay to use
.them? Are there new methods on the
market you should be adopting? Have
you been getting along without certain

machines that would save you money

and labor?

To help you take an inventory of
your needs, we are printing the full

McCormick- Deering line.
The purpose of all McCormick-Deer-

ing machines is to make farming better,
easier, and more profitable for their
owners. They are all useful, modern,
and efficient. The Harvester Company’s
work of standardization has simplified
the variety of lines, combining many
good features in fewer essential
machines. Power farming is at its best
where McCormick-Deering Tractors
[15-30 and 10-20] are used with
McCormick—Deering machines for draw-
bar and belt work. They are made to
work together. I

We will send you descriptive ‘mate-
rial, catalogs, details as to sizes and styles
on any machine or line that may need
attention on your farm. Write the ad-
dress below. Call on the McCormick-
Deering dealer; he will always be at
your service.

in the hope that it would. After that,
I’m hazy. How big a telegraph office

“How big?” Ba'tiste laughed. “How

“Is there ever a time when the op-

“Thanks.” A strange eagerness was
in Houston's eyes. “i think I’ll be able
to get up tomorrow. Maybe I can walk

Men Birds are Fledged and Gone
By William Loonhardt

My pathway led, through a brambly wood
With many a tree decayed;'

Near a briary fence where! the leaves were dense
I paused in an open glade.

And. the lurid hue, of a crimson dew
On the golden foliage fell}; ‘

For the leaves were tossed in the autumn'frosts
That covered each nook and dell.

And a hoary tree, with its leafless limbs
Was humming a lifeless tune;

And an oriole’s nest that hung on its crest
Was swayed to the waning croon;

’Twas whipped and frayed by e'very blast,
For many and many a dawn;

And its battered shape in the wild wind's wake,
Show'd the birds were fledged and gone.

And the pleasant home the orioles built
With caution and wondrous care,
Has its walls decayed, and the nest is.frayed
’Till it's ghastly grim and bare.
And there comes no cheep, or birdies’ ‘boop,
Or a mother’s hovering song, ‘
O’er a little brood so snugly woo'ed,
For the birds are fledged and gone.

So I journeyed on to a winding- stream,
Where a house stood by the way;
And the rotten shell but told too well ,1
Of life in an earlier day.
Yet the shapeloss mass of the chimney’s brick ' -
Still stood in thcrwreck-and ruin,
And an angel’s tongue in my fancy sung
Of a babe and a mother’s cooing.

I heard the shouts of childish glee,
As I mused in my backward dreaming,
And the songs and jokes, 'of the older folks,
Was myrth, in the lovelight, beaming.
Andthe wild winds moan through the chinkless home,
A dirgo, sung ever, and on;
Who cares, for the mohaorics, soon forgot,
When the birds are fledged, and gone?

Was aware of his presence; nor did
'she seem to care.

Closer she came, and Barry watched
her, taking a strange sort of delight in
the skipping grace with which she ne~
gotiated the stepping stones of the
swollen little stream which intervened

, between her and the cabin of Ba’tiste

Ronaud, then clambered over the
straggling pile of massed logs and
deadtimber which strewed the small
stretch of flat before the rise began,
leading to where he rested. More like

some graceful, agile boy was. she than,

a girl. Her clothing was of that type
which has all too soon taken the place
of the buckskin in the west——a riding
habit, with stout little shoes and leath-
er puttees; her hair was drawn tight
upon her head and encased in the
shielding confines of a cap. worn’ low
over her
aside by a jutting twig and now slant-
ing out at a rakish angle; her arms
full of something pink and soft and
pretty. Barry wondered what it could
be—then brightened with sudden hope.

““Vonder if she’s bringing them to
me?"

The answer came a moment later/as
she faced him, panting slightly from
the ekertion of the climb. the natural
flush of exercise heightened by her evi-
dent embarrassment.

“Oh, you’re up!” came in an almost
disappointed manner. Then with a
glance toward the great cluster of .wild'
roses in her arms, “I don't know what
to do with these things now.”

“IVhy?” Barry's embarrassment was
as great as hers. “If—4f it’ll do any
good, I’ll climb back into bed again.”

“Nd—don’t. Only I thought you were
really terribly ill and—”

“I am—~I was—4 will be. That is—
gosh. it’s a shame for you to go out
and pick all those and then have me
sitting up here as strong as an ox. 1—”

“Oh, don’t worry about that.” She
smiled at 111111 with that sweetness
which only a woman can know when
she has the advantage. "I didn't pick
them. Lost Vl’ing’L—she pointed to
the skulking. outlandishly dressed In-
dian in the background—~attended to
that. I was going to send them over
by him. But I didn’t have anything
to do, so I just thought I’d bring them
myself "

“Thanks for that, anyway. Can’t I
keep them just the same—t0 put on
the table or something?”

I IG'thlngs result from strange be
ginnings. Columbus started out
. to find a new route to India, and

I- discovered America. Faraday wanted

._...,

I

tosee what would happen,,if he placed
a bit of Copper between the poles of a
horse shoemagnet, and found that the

_.copper whirled around, and this was

the beginning of the dynamo, whichis
the mother of all street cars and auto-
,moblle motors. When. Paul started out
on a. little exploring expedition, which
is usually called his Second Missionary
Journey, he and his traveling compan-
ion’, Barnabas, had a falling out over
,Mark. Barnabas wanted to-take the
young man, and Paul declined, saying
that he didn’t have the. nerve, or words
‘to that effect. So Barnabas took Mark
and went one way, while Paul took
Silas and Went another. The result
was that twice as much territory was
covered.

This has been one of the results of
the many Protestant denominations.
With all our re-
grets o v e 1' the
unreasonable . di-
visions in th e
church, the over-
lapping and the
increased expense
of: operating, it is
well to remember
that some good
has come from the separation of the
church into many branches; it has
covered more ground, in all likelihood,
than it would have covered otherwise.
In foreign lands, it has been the prac—
tice, of late years, to divide up the
territory, one denomination being re-
sponsible for one section, another for
another.

 

N this journey Paul had the vision

which has been taken as a type
of divine guidance, ever since. He
wanted to go into certain parts of the
country, but he was forbidden by the
Holy Spirit. One night he had a vis-
ion: “There was a man of Macedonia
standing, beseeching him, and saying,
“Come over into Macedonia and help
us.” This is believed to have been
Luke, as from this time on Acts no
longer says “he," but “we,”\so that the
writer must have been one of the
party. “Help!” cries the man of Mace-
donia.~ “Help is a word fundamental
in missions; help us out of our temp-
tations, our degradation, our sins; help
us to Christ, to the Teacher, the Heal-
er, the _Friend, the Savior; help us out
of hell and into heaven.

Are we as certain of divine guid-
ance as was Paul? Can we pray and
be sure that the Divine hand will show
us the way? There is much uncer-
tainty as to this, in these days. Peo
ple say they are not always certain,
after they have pr‘ayed. But the testi-
mony of those who practice prayer in
earnest is, that the course they ought
to take becomes more clear after
thoughtful prayer than it was before.
Like other things, prayer requires
practice. One becomes more skilful
and sure of his ground when he prays
as a habit, than when he is stampeded
with fear or worn with lohg anxiety,
and then tries it. The man who keeps
up daily physical exercise is not in-
jured if he sprints for a train, while
the man who is soft and flabby may
drop dead.

HAT happened to Paul as he

went on would be considered by
a good many folk as a decided antl-
climax. The little party of evangel-
ists came to Philippl, and there they
found a business woman, named
Lydia... She was in the business of
dieing purple cloth, which required
considerable capkal; as purple was a
very expenswef dye. She receiVed the
teaching of the Christians with intelli-
#51:? and a good heart. She yvas so

ISSICHIS

Cowman; Semon—By N 1.11!ch

impressed with the teachings and the
example of the evangelists that she
invited them to make their headquar-
ters at her house. She must have been
a woman of wealth, with a large house

'very likely with a number of servants.

But note: After the wonderful vision
in the night, and after the long jour-
ney following it, the result was—one
woman convert! If a modern evan—
gelist was. invited to a town, built his
tabernacle, organized his chorus choir,
and could only persuade one woman
to “hit the sawdust trail,” he wouldn’t
get a very big collgction. The small-
est of results, however,
nificant than we sometimes imagine.
“In 1800, Napoleon was living, the
greatest warrior of his day, and the
most successful military man of all
history. He crossed the Alps, fell up-
on the Austrian armies, shattered
them, and for the moment altered the
history of France and Italy, and per-
haps of Europe. In the same year a
little Welsh peasant—girl tramped over
the hills in Merionethshire, barefooted,
in quest of a Bible. There were two
or three people in the little village
who knew about it, and. that incident
started the Bible society. And the
Bible Society gave/new life to the
Sunday school. The Sunday schools
taught the great things of God to mil-
lions of people here and in America.
Napoleon’s work will get feebler and
feebler in its influence. That little
story of the \\'elsh girl will get more
powerful, more thrilling, deeper, and
more permanent in its influences as
the centuries roll by.” The above are
the words of Lloyd George, spoken
before the British Sunday School Un-
ion. The work of Paul and his com-
panions in making a convert of an in

. lluential woman may not have been so

unimportant, after all.
T is interesting to note that the
writer of'Acts. Luke, does not indulge
in hero-worship, with regard to Lydia.
There is no describing her virtues, her
wealth, the number of thousands of
yards of clothshe dyed in a year, how
far her goods were exported, who some
of the royal buyers were,.how much
she was offered by a big firm of Jews
to become general manager of a mail-
order house in Philippi, or how large
her model farm was, just outside the
city. She is referred to in a few simple
words: “And a certain woman named
Lydia, a seller of purple, of .the city
of Thyaira, one that worshipped God,
heard us; whose heart the Lord open-
ed to give heed unto the things which
were spoken by Paul.” If anyone is
inclined to doubt the inspiration of
the Bible, let him compare this bare.
simple account, with what the ordi-
nary writer would have put in, in de—
scribing the same facts. There is a
simplicity and an adherence to truths;
in the narrative here, marking it off;
from the ordinary book. l

The three travelers were honored
with plenty of persecution. Whenever
there was severe persecution, a church
sprang up. In Lystra, in Derbe, in
Iconium, in Corinth and Ephesus, there 1
was decided opposition to the work of!
Christian teaching. Frequently it took
the form of rioting, followed by im-
prisonment. In Athens, on the other:
hand, there was no persecution, and
no church was formed. Some one has
named these five ways in which the

Crowds greeting the
Sc rv to c - Progress
Special en route

Working with the farmer-#—

 

ORE THAN 775,000 people have visited the

Service-Progress Special demonstration train
sent out over the New York Central Lines by the
Agricultural Relations Department.

The exhibits on this train, showing the wonderful ad-
vance in steam transportation in the United States,
and particularly the interdependence of the railroad
and the farmer, have served to bring closer together
the New York Central and its agricultural patrons.

The New York Central Lines serve some of the richest
farming sections of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
New York and Pennsylvania, and they haul more than
a million carloads a year of farm products.

Working with the farmer, to promote better and more
profitable farming. the Agricultural Relations Depart-

.ent has grown to be

one of the most useful in the

New York Central organization.

has. a phycho-

tion with our sweet tooth. No sooner
do we see his genial smile, or hear his
jolly laugh, than we think of candy
canes, lollipops, sugared animals, and
many other sweets that are found in
‘the Christmas stocking. v
During the holiday season nothing
is more pleasing to the children, and
I will include the grown-ups, too, than
to have a handful of candy to munch
while enjoying their Christmas stories.
These recipes for home-made candy
you will find to be accepted in high
fivor.

Fondant.
1% lbs. sugar 1-8 tsp. cream tartar
% cup water flavoring

Cook sugar and water slowly and
stir until the sugar is dissolved. When
boiling, add cream of tartar and cease
stirring. When syrup forms soft ball
in cold water, pour onto a moistened
platter. When cool, stir with a knife
until creamy. Form inio a large ball
and place in earthen jar and cover
with damp cloth. This will keep a
longtime. When ready to use, work
in the desired flavoring, coloring and

TO market, to market, to buy a.
fat pig.” So runs a Mother
Goose rhyme. Perhaps that is
why Mother Goose never was rich, for
in raising the family meat supply on
the farm and preserving it there for
home consumption, there is a saving
that rural folks should not overlook.
These recipes show how pork prod—

' ucts may be prepared and canned at

home.
Pork Tenderloin and Chops.

The chops and tenderloin may be
canned separately. Wipe each slice
with a damp cloth and sear in hot fat.
Season according to taste, and roast
until nicely browned. It is best to
remove the bone from the chops.
Pack in sterilized jars to within one
inch of the top, and add gravy made
from the stock and hot water. Par-
tially seal and process in hot water
bath for ninety minutes. Finish seal-
ing and store in a dry, cool place.

Roast pork may be canned in the
same way. If canned raw, the process
is the same, except that it will need
to be in the hot water bath for three
hours.

Spareribs.

Roast the ribs in the usual way until
nicely browned. Remove the rib bones
and pack in sterilized jars. Add hot
gravy made from the contents of the

Dear Uncle Frank:

I guess this is about the twentieth
letter I’ve written to you, and the
wastepaper basket has gladly received
them all. I guess I will certainly have
to “work to win.” I have felt pretty
discouraged at times. But I would
think of the class motto and try again.
And I won’t let the wastepaper basket
get the best of me either.

I think my twin sister, Margie, will
try the “Work-to—Win” contest, too—-
Yours truly, Mary LeoDell Shoemaker,
R. 2, Grass Lake, Mich.

You have a fair amount of that es-
sential to success, called persistency.

It has helped you win out this time.

 

Dear Uncle Frank: ,

Ho!’ ho! ho! Here I am again, all
safe and sound. Oh, don’t get skeered,
girls, I’m not on the war path this
time.

I read the letter from Thomas N.
Hurd, and thought I 'would write a
little.’

I know how it is to have algebra in
the neck, because I had it there the
first week or two. I have kept after
it until now I like it better than any
of my other studies.

Latin is the worst one for me. That
gives me the “stomach ache,” almost.
1 would like to hear from anyone that
loves Latin—Yours very truly, Harold
Coles, Montgomery, Mich. '

I judge Harold likes Latin about as
well as he does bobbed hair and knick—
ers which, if I remember right, also
gave him the “stomach ache."

/.

Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins:

I think I should take a part in the
doings, ’cause I’m an M. C. Member. I
have never tried to take a chance with
Mr. W. 13: before. _

I live on, a farm, always did and I
suppose always will. I have enjoyed
all the pleasures of farm life, such as
picking stones, digging potatoes, weed-
ing sugar beets, stacking grain and
riding horseback, swimming and climb-
ing trees, etc. Perhaps you don’t know
what digging potatoes or weeding'sug— _
ar beets all day .on your hands and
knees in the burning sun is, if you

 

have always lived in the city.

Well, as I’m a newcomer I will tell

one, “Pat the' stomach and rub the

and right car with left. hand. How
quickly reverse, taking hold of left

the car on the outside.” He says it is
lots of fun when tried alone or with

The raisin groweIs, with their markets
almost ruined, got together and in-
so that? the
acreage had to be increased. Other
similar organizations have had, equal
success.

The longvtime contract-"is an essen-
Without this,
the cooperative market men can not
make large sales plans as they are not
assured the products to fulfill them.
Efficient men to run the organizations
are also necessary. The great trouble
with many farmer cooperative organ-
izations is that they are not likely to
discharge inefficient help.

Mr. Tennant thought it would be
hard to include farm flocks in cooper-
ative efforts, as large volume and high
quality were necessary and small
flocks would entail too much over-
head

Although there is a big volume in
poultry products, his department has
never worked on the poultry market-
ing problems because there has not
been the pressure ‘upon them to do so.
Other farm product people made of-
forts to get the department to‘help in
their cooperative efforts, and there-
fore were served first.

The Danish System Good.

Mr. E. B. Heaton, of the'American
Farm Bureau, who has made a. special
study of'the‘cooperative poultry and
egg marketing endeavors throughout
the world, gave some very good sug-
gestions. He said Denmaik has made
a wonderful success in cooperatively
marketing the farm flock eggs. Their
plan required that the Danish farmer
stamp each egg with the date and his
individual number as well as the num-
ber of his local organization. The lo-
cal organization gathered the eggs and

sent them to the central aSsociation'

which in turn shipped them to Eng-
land, their principal market. Should
there be any complaint regarding the
eggs, the member’s number was re-
ferred to. .This placed the misdeed
directly upon him, and therefore caus-
ed the members to be very careful in
the selection of their eggs.

In Indiana, several county organiza-
tions are doing well. They have as—
sembly places in various parts of the
county. In Finland, the cooperative
marketing of butterand poultry prod-
ucts has become so efiicent that the
associations own» the refrigerator
boats in which their products are
shipped.

Even if the Michigan men can only
get twenty- fl-ve to thirty-five per cent
of the production on the contract
basis, the organization will be success-
ful if handled right, and will make its
influence felt inthe markets. The
county is probably the ,best unit for
local organization, Mr. Heaton thought.

The Produce Exchange. ‘3

Mr. Clark L Brody, manager of the
Michigan Farm Bureau, told of. their
experience with marketing at the D0-
troit Produce Exchange.
that poultry shipped in cariots and

fed, increased in weight while in tran— '

sit, While that sent in crates lost
weight. In order to make a. coopera-
tive movement a success, there must
be a. strong sentiment showing ,the
need for it. When the time and con-

ditions were ripe the State Farm Bu- '

reau was more than willing to help in
organizing the poultry men-3 of'the
state. It offered the use of the pro—
duce exchange at Detroit for this pur-
pose.

Mr. Gifford Patch, Jr. of the M.” A.
.0. Markets Department, presented a.
tentative constitution and by-laws
which were based‘on the best in the
California, and Danish plans. , He said
that a large organization,:_ with prob-

ably the state as a centralunit, was

necessary as large volume'and suffi-
cient finances were necessary forsuc-
cess.

At present, he'said, there are about
720 local co-ops in‘the state; These
could be used as local assembly'sta-
tions for poultry and eggs.” The plan
he presented also called for the local
associations to make contracts with
the producers for a term of years.
These contracts would require that all
the poultry products of the member
except that for local market and breed—
ing purposes, be sold through the as
sociation. '

Central Stock Organization.

The central association should- bc a
non-profit stock organization which
would require that cash local take out
one share of stock at one dollar for
each of its members. If _only‘ twenty
thousand members were obtained, the
central unit would have a fund of
$20, 000 to work on.

The central organization would also

- have a contract with the local for all

the products it ‘reCeives. It would
charge the costs of selling, plus‘ three
per cent to create a. reserve fund. ‘ .
The whole organization would be on
the one man, one vote basis. ‘
bers would have single vote: in their
locals and locals would have single
votes in the central. The supreme test
in forming' such an organization would

be the willingness of the members to,

contract their products, said1 ‘Mr
Patch.‘ ' , .

" ‘Q. 'N' November 21, the Work of tu-

b'erc'ulin testing all the cattle in

cut-(111mm county was completed. Ap-

pibxlmately’19‘l'00 head were tested,

"add 120 animals rented to the test

This would give an average of 1. 25
per cent: reactors; s't‘Th'is- is a Very low

.1119 state. ‘ha‘Vc‘ sometimes shown as

high as Lteri- 'per cent leactors, and the
average for all cattle tested in the
state is 9.2 per cent. Ontonagon
county cows ‘ ‘are' healthy.

A year ago Ontonagon county ap~
propriated $3, 000 to cover the county’ s
share of the cost of making the test.
The census figures of 1920 showed
5,800 head of cattle in the county.
The estimate of expense was based
on this numbe1 of cattle. Instead of

this number the veteiinarians found

9, 700 head of cattle; and the total ex-
pause to the county, for the county’s
Share of making the test, is less than
$2, 000. It is probable that some sort
of re—test will be made next year. At
least all the herds where reactors

Were foundwill be tested again.

HE increase in the number of cat-

.tle f10m5 0,800 in 1920, to 9, 700 in

the dairy business. This is a wise
step for the Iarmers to take, for dairy

Turn Slacker Cows
Into Big Milkers

The only difi'erence between just breakinlr
even at dairymg and making a real profit
lies in seeing that there are no slackers in
the herd. A poor milker can soon eat up
the profit of several productive cows.

Almost always the so-called poor milker
is unproductive because ‘0! some sluggish
condition of the genital or digestive organs.
If these functions are impaired the milk
flow is quickly reduced.

Kow-Kare helps to make good producers
of poor milkers through its direct medicinal
action on the milk~malring organs. The vital
organs of production are made to function
wlth new vigor. Not only does the milk

FATTENING THE LAMB CROP“

MANY flock owners— prefer to hold

their lambs in the fall and fatten
them during the winter and sell when
the market is ready to pay a premium
for finished mutton. Our experience
at Forest Grove Farm has been that
there is a. good profit in fattening the
lamb crop and selling when the mar-
ket has recovered from the glutted
condition caused from an over-supply
of half-finished lambs during the fall
season.

The flock owner who is in position
to hold his lamb crop and fatten dur-
ing the early winter months I know
will realize a good profit on his feed,
insure himself a better market for his
farm—grown roughage and grain, and

leave upon the farm a large amount of
valuable fertilizer. Manure produced
from fattening lambs is particularly
valuable and when properly spread
upon the land will materially increase
its productive power.

In fattening my lambs I confine
them to a small yard adjoining the
barn, where they can run and obtain
a little exercise. I think fattening
lambs have a' stronger appetite and
are less apt to get off feed when al-
lowed a. small yard to exercise in, than
when confined closely. Over-crowding
should be avoided. Every lamb should
have plenty of space at the grain
trough. If the lambs are not all of
about the same age and size, the
weaker should be separated and given
extra care.

Glover and alfalfa hay are the two
best roughages for fattening lambs.
A grain ration of equal parts of dry
corn, oats and bran should be fed.
Gradually work the lambs to full feed.

RATION FOR YOUNG BROOD
SOWS.

What is the best method for feeding
young sows that are carrying pigs,
feeding after pigging, and the rations
for feeding the young stuff to get the
greatest results?—-W. T.

Corn may be safely relied 11an to
form the base‘ of the ration for young
sows. Because it is such a good hog
food, the mistake is often made of re-
lying upon it exclusively. Although
one of the. most relished grains, corn‘
is not a. perfect or cOmplete food in
itself, and except for a briefperiod
when the hogiis' in the Zfatténing pen,
it should always be fed in combination
with foods high in protein thathelp‘to
round out the ration._ Tankage‘bf'a
high grade isperha'ps' the most. popu-
lar supplement,“ and, although the cost
seems high, it heed onlvbe‘e-fed _in‘
small quantities, say half :a po’fide-a

and feed them liberally on muscle and
bone-marking food. Alfalfa or clover
hay, bean pods and bright oom'fodder
are excellent roughages. Corn silage
is aaplendid source of succulence and
can be fedvsafely if not too rich in
grain. ‘ '

Roughages alone should not be de-.

pended upon for developing the ewe
lambs. I fed a light grain ration, con-
sisting of equal parts‘ of oats, corn

and wheat bran in shallow troughs

twice daily.—-R. .

 

PTO THE MAN WHO FEEDS“ANI-
MALS. “‘3 '
Hay properly stored for a long. pe-
riod of time does not deteriorate to
any marked degree in feeding 'valile.

The stomach of the young animal“ is
not sufficiently developed to. assimi-

WHEAT

Wheat prices advanced nearly four
cents last week but lost the gain be-
fore the close. Factors responsible for
the upturn included the light deliver-
ies on December contracts, a decline
in the visible supply at terminals and
light receipts at primar markets
which have declined about 5 per cent
in the last month. Part of the reduc-
tion in the visible, however, may have
been due to large shipments from the
western lake ports which will re-ap-
pear when they arrive at eastern
points. Milling demand for the better
grades of wheat maintains moderate
volume, and receipts of these grades
are light so that they continue to bring
a big premium over the lower grades.
One unoflicial estimate for the coun-
try as a Whole shows a reduction of
12 per cent in acreage, but a gain of
11.5 per cent in condition, the latter
being 4.5 per cent above the ten-year
average. Much Canadian Wheat re-
mains to be exported but it is not
being forced on the market. The
amount of wheat shipped from export-
ing countries which has disappeared
in importing countries since July 1 is
practically the same as a year ago in
spite of the larger yield in Europe.

RYE

Receipts of rye have been absorbed
readily in the last ten days and the
visible supply decreased last week for
the first time this season. The total is
nearly 70 per cent larger than last
year, howeVer. An unofficial estimate
of the rye.acreage»shows about 16 per
cent less than last year, but the con-
dition is about eight points higher
than in.the fall of 1922 and slightly
above the ten-year average.

CORN

Receipts of corn at primary mar-
kets have practically doubled in the
last month, but the rate of distribu-
tion has been high so that the accum-
ulation» at terminals is insignificant.
Net disappearance of corn from com:
‘ mercial channels in the last five weeks
5 has been nearly as large as in the
, same period last year. Probably some
{buyers who wereunwilling to fill their

needs a month or so ago when prices

 

 

were much higher, are taking hold on
a larger scale. The quality of market
receipts. is better than expected, but
more or less damaged or wet corn is
being received right along and some.
sections are re orting loss from spoil-
age in cribs. rices are close to an
exporting basis and an increase in‘
clearances has taken place in the last
two weeks. -

OATS

Primary receipts of oats have de-
clined each week since the middle of
October and withdrawals from the vis-
ible supply have been persistent.
Larger consumption on farms than ex—
pected early in the season is believed
’to be taking place.- Prices show more
strength than for other grains.

SEEDS

From July 1 to November 30, 1923,
841,800 pounds of red clover seed were
imported, compared with 227,000 lbs.
in the same period a year ago. Alsike
clover imports were 6,182,000 pounds,
compared with 3,747,000 pounds last
year. Imports of alfalfa seed were
5,865,000 pounds, compared with'5,719,-
000 pounds last year. In all cases, im-
ports during November were particu-
larly heavy. The undertone in foreign
seed market has become firmer in
the last few weeks as a result of the
American demand. How large the de-
mand for clover .seed from farmers in
this country will be during the winter
and spring months is still uncertain.

EEDS

Demand for by—product feeds from
retailers and consumers remains light.
Restricted buying in the last two
months has left ample supplies in dis-
tributing channels, although a little
more firmness is noted on prices for
feeds in transit and milling centers
are offering wheat feeds less freely
than a short time ago. Production of
both wheat feeds and oil meal is more
likely to diminish than to increase'
during the next four months, while a!
large part of the winter demand is stillfi
to be satisfied, so that prices are not
likely to work much lower. Corn feeds
on the other hand, are out of line and
may work lower during the winter.

Hay markets are holding ratherfirm
on the better grades, which are unus-
ually scarce. Deman is not consider:
ed broad. Owing to high freight rates,
local conditions as to supply or de—‘_-

 

mand have more than their usual ef-
fect on prices.‘
available until late in the-year in the
southern states, reducingthe demand
from that section, although high pric-
es for cotton have made southern buy-

ers-more willing to pay good prices for’

hay. On the Pacific Coast, dry weath-
er is necessitating shipments of hay
from adjacent states. High grade al-
falfa hay has been extremely scarce
on mid-western markets, owing to the
damage to the last cutting _
southwest and to the quarantines
against shipments from the areas in-
fested with weevil in the west.

POULTRY AND EGGS

. Receipts offresh eggs were insuffi-
cient to meet the broad demand last
week, sending prices higher. Mild
weather recently has favored produc-
tion, and‘fresh eggs have been receiv-
ed from a few sections which usually
are not shipping at this time of year.
Within a month receipts are likely to
increase enough to surfeit the demand
at present prices and thus start the
decline in prices which usually takes
place during the winter. ReCeipts of
heavy fowls are light, with demand for
them active, so that prices have been
firm at higher levels. The supply of
turkeys, ducks and geese is liberal.
Prospects are that the number avail-
able for the Christmas trade will be
large. Prices for turkeys are much
lower than were paid for those sold
for the Thanksgiving trade.

BUTTER

"Butter prices lost the advance scor-
ed early in the week but a firm under-
tone was apparent at the close as re-
ceipts were ‘Well cleaned up. High
prices are causing consumers to cut
down slightly on their purchases, how~
ever, and reports indicate that butter
production is increasing so that prices
probably will not seek much higher
levels. The preliminary report on

Carlot shipments of potatoes in the
last two weeks have declined about 40
per cent and are running about fifteen
per cent below the corresponding pe— .
riod last year. Eastern markets were ,
lower last week, with the 'midwes‘ter‘n
centers practically steady. Northern
round whites, U. S. No. 1-, are quoted
at, $.1@1.10 per 100 pounds sacked,
with bulk potatoes at 1.30@1.40 on
the Chicago market. Pr ces are likely
to strengthen during the next ‘two

months if shipments from. producing - ‘

sections do not enlarge.

APPLES

~Carlot shipments of apples have de-
clined about 50 per cent in the last
two weeks and, in the last few days,
have been smaller than at the cor-.
responding time a year ago for the
first time since the end of August.
Consuming markets remain ”rather
dull, however,; with prices practically
unchanged. Based on records for pre
vious years, a further decrease of 25
to 40 per cent in carlot shipments of
apples may take place in the next,
month or two, which may cause prices
to strengthen.

BEANS

The bean market strengthened in
the last few days, with choice hand—
picked whites quoted at $5.05@5.10'f.‘

ers are not delivering freely at the
decline that has taken place in .the
last month, while demand has broad-
ened slightly. Both wholesale grocers
and elevators will try to carry light
stocks over the inventory period and
are following the advance reluctantly.

WOOL

The spurt in buying in the :,_la.st
month has cleaned up most of the ac:
cumulations of wool at Texas points
and the rather large holdings in the
west. Prices asked for the remainder
in these sections have advanced and
buying has slowed down. . Seaboard .
markets report a fair volume of buy- ‘ '
ing by manufacturers who are,cover-'
mg their requirements for the heavy
weight season which will probably op-
en shortly after the first of the year.
Foreign markets have risen further
and have kept ahead of our price level -
so that manufacturers have little basis
for hoping for lower prices.

tions are that prices will average high-
