CURRENT COMMENT

This is the think season in farming.
It should be the time devoted to re-
flection, reading and planning for an—
nthér season. -

Federal wool grades are now ready.
We hope these grades will make it
less easy to pull the wool over the
eyes of the producer.

Another bit of evidence on the mat-
ter .of the program of our Agricultural
College may be seen in the splendid
showing made by the College and the
farmers of the state who have receiv-
ed the aid of the College men, in both
the-grain and live stock departments
of the recent International at Chicago.

’ RANDPA'S house
To Grand. is a favorite ren-
, dezvous at Christmas
pa .3 for time. ‘We used to go
Chrutmas there in the sleighs,

whole sleigh-loads of
us, snuggled down on the deep, clean
straw in the wagon box. Great times
were those. Nowadays, we go in the
automobile. The piked-up roads and
the autOmobile have well-nigh put the
old bob sleds and the merry sleigh
bells out of commission. But we have
jolly times at Grandpa’s house Just
the same, and that is where most of
us will be this Christmas time if we
are fortunate enough to have a Grand-
pa still on earth to visit.

There will :be uncles and aunts, and
maybe great uncles and great aunts,
and cousins and friends galore. And
there will be a great table fairly groan-
ing under the spread of good things
that Grandma knows so well how to
make. There will be the turkey——
drumsticks upv—on the big platter and
done to a turn; there will be brilliant
crimson cranberries and sweet pota-
toes and mince pies and big red ap-
ples, and nuts and candy. Over in the
chimney corner will be the Christmas
tree, festooned with all sorts of pretty
things for the kiddies, and gifts for
everyone.

The children will revel in all sorts
of jolly ramps and new games and
Christmas stories; there will be music
and friendly frolic, and perhaps a rab-

bit hunt for the young folks; and the,

height of good fellows-hip will prevail
among the elders. Perchance they,
too, will join with-the children or the
young folks in their joy making, and
help to make this Christmas at Grand-
pa’s house one long to be remembered.
For, after all, is not that what Christ-
mas is for? The one day of all the
year best suited to the renewal of
friendships; to the showing of our
affection for our own folks; and to the
general expression of good-Will that is
down deep in the hearts of all of us
for our fellowman.

Sure enough, these good traits, that
may always be found, even in the
worst of .us, get covered up pretty
deep sometimes by business cares and
worries, by petty jealousies and griev-
ances, and by troubles of various
kinds, but Christmas is a time to put
aside such trivial things and let our
minds and our hearts dwell upon the
good things of life. Grandpa’s house
and all that attaches thereto, are
among the greatest of these good
things. Let us make the most of them
this Christmas time and store up mem-
ories to hand down to our children's
children.

THE many friends

. , . were shocked at his
To Hort" sudden death in a
culture hospital in Detroit,
Wednesday, Decem-

ber '12. Mr. Farrand had gone to De
trait in full Vigor and health to have
an operation. He went through the
operation nicely and was apparently
in good health and full of optimism
all through his convalescing period. In
fact, until within five minutes of his
death he seemed in the best of spirits,
when suddenly a weakened heart
brought the end. _

But few are bettm‘ known in nam-
m than T. A. Fan-and; 11!: m

thoSe who knewhifli. , _ this
thing else, was the soapel‘ of optimism

which he preached through example. 1
Through all the trials of lifeghis Smile

and his laughter were ever pneumat.

His enthusiasm and his “never say

die” attitude have nude him an tout-

standing figure among those who have
worked f ter rural Michigan.

'1‘. A. w a self-made man. At one
time he was a section hand at South
Haven. Then when the local oracles
said that he was not capable, he got
the position of superintendent of the
South Haven Experiment Stationand
made himself famous as a horticul-
turist. For a time, he retired to en—
gage in fruit growing at Eaton Rapids,
but public life called him again and
he became county agent of Eaton
county. From there, he went to Van
Buren county as county agent, and
later became extension specialist for
the horticultural department at M. A.
C. He was always an enthusiastic
worker in the interests of the Michi-
gan State Horticultural Society and
several years ago became its secre-
tary. His activities at the time of his
death were in this dual position of ex‘
tension specialist and secretary. Be-
sides, he had his fruit farm andgroen-
house at Eaton Rapids to look after.

We' know of no couple who have
radiated sunshine and exemplified the
happy habit as have Mr. and Mrs.
Farrand. It is hoped that, with he:
helpmeet gone, Mrs. Farrand’s cheer
ful courage will stand by her in this
time of trial. We can assure her and
her family of the heart-felt sympathy
of thousands of friends.

be done to hold the faith of the mass-

ruthlessly. Rather, the wisest states-

HE timber buyer has three or
four choice plans for his deals
with the farmer who wants to
First, and probably

the'best, is the lump sum plan. The

‘farmer needs money. The buyer has

found this out. He has also found

font that the farmer would like to get

some of that money from his timber.

"Usually the first step made by the
'buyer is to quietly determine, by

cruise or otherwise, just how much
timber the farmer owns, the various
kinds, its condition and all about it.
The next step is to call upon the own-
If he finds the
owner anxious to sell he may immedi—
ately make up his “lump sum offer” of
so much for “everything.” The owner

'usually begs for time to consider and

the buyer leaves him to think about

,it for a day or so, when he returns

and usually closes the deal.

The second plan used by the timber
buyer differs from the first in that the
owner may make certain restrictions
and exceptions. These are all well
thought out beforehand by the buyer,
while the owner usually trusts to his
“own good judgment.” The most com-

‘mon reservation includes ”all of the

owner’s

In this particular
many a farmer has been disillusioned
when it was too late.

The safest restriction which the
owner may place upon the buyer, is
the “cutting to specified diameter,”
and even in this the average owner
may lose out at the hands of skilled
timbermen.

The third plan gives the owner a
contract for logs to be cut according
to certain specifications. This has the

‘ advantage of giving full responsibility
' for damage to young growth to the

OWner who has himself to thank if
damage is done. However, it is not
without its advantages to the buyer
also. An example of this came to the
writer’s attention just at the close of
the war When prices were falling and
the buyer was anxious to be relieved
of his contract, which was made a
year before and carried higher prices.
The writer was called upon to make
inspection of several hundred thou-
sand feet of logs that were delivered
upon the railroad siding ready for
loading. The owner wished to force
acceptance of the logs by the buyer.

- The buyer refused to load, and based

that refusal upon a single clause in
the complicated contract. The owner

-that this means a great amount of
' fuel, since only the good logs will be
. taken by the buyer.

ByF..H

had used his “own good judgment”
again, instead of referring the con-
tract to an experienced timberman or
to an attorney who understood the
technique of logging. The result was
that the owner lost out while the buy-
er who drew up the contract for his
mill saved many hundreds of dollars
to his employer by his shrewdness and
skill in the matter
business.

There are many other devices and
wrinkles used by timber buyers to en-
able them to gain their ends by shady
methods, but they are not of concern
to us at this time, because it is not

necessary for the timber buyer to be »

dishonest in order to beat the farm
woodlot owner. The owner allows
himself to be beaten. And the sad
part of it all is that usually he cannot
help himself.

The reason for

this condition is

readily apparent to anyone who is
willing to look into it a little and then
do a very small amount of thinking. A
very few years ago the price of Cali-
fornia oranges fluctuated through a
wide range during the year and was
invariably lower than at the present
time. The orange growers of Cali-
fornia organized and not only correct-

,ed price conditions, but tremendously

increased production.

Education of the farmer has gone
by leaps and bounds in this matter of
production and marketing of food-
stuffs and essentials of life generally,

but it has not yet reached the pro-
ducer of timber.

Cooperative marketing of farm for-
est products in Michigan is badly
needed. It calls for serious attention
from those who direct other forms of
extension work. It is a matter that

cannot be long delayed for the reason
that lack of state—wide markets is
forcing farmers to clean cut, rather
than to handle on a periodic crop
basis.

It also enables the timber buy-

er and the manufacturer to hold pric-
es where they choose.

Cooperative handling of forest prod-
ucts will allow the individual farmer
to market a few cords of fuel, a few
posts, a few logs or whatever he has
to sell at a just and fair price. Group
marketing of logs, bolts or lumber is
just as common-sense and just as prac—
ticable as group marketing of hogs or
wool or potatoes. Few farmers pro-
duce full carloads of hogs, but still
hogs go rolling on toward Detroit or
Chicago every week from the towns
of Michigan. Potatoes are no longer

   

sold on the buyer’s lump sum of!

with a “take it or leave it” thrown iii-21":

for good measure.

And so this whble matter comes;
back on the farmer and upon these
who are helping to work out his salva-
tion. It may be that the minds who
direct these lines of betterment of rurJ
a1 conditions have never realized the
tremendous part that wood in all its
forms plays in the lives of peOple. ‘

There are, however, many aniong
the busiest business men of today in
the cities and towns of the nation, who , '
do not realize the value of wood in
our every-day lives, and they are play-‘
ing no small part in the gradual build.
ing of a widespread sentiment for tim-.
ber conservation. But to those owners'
of timber in small patches called farm -'
woodlands this realization of both'the
present and future value of timber is
very slow in coming. The cold facts
regarding increasing timber shortage I
do not seem to reach them, although

they are devoting over half a million. 1

acres in the southern seven tiers of

counties of this state to timber pro- ~'

duction. An impending scarcity ,of
pork or mutton is followed directly by
an over-production of hogs or sheep
but the very certain and sure scarcity
of all kinds of timber, as indicated by
the climbing prices of everything
made of wood, is failing to impress
farm timber owners. Instead they beg
for buyers to come and pay prices
that would little more than pay the
freight on the same kinds of material
if those buyers were to buy from other
states. -
Systematic group marketing of tim-
ber products must constitute the first
lesson for farmer wood-lot owners to
learn. The farmer groups of coops,
so-called, must first be taught that
scientific marketing is absolutely es-
sential to the perpetuation of the farm
timberland. Without it the present
program of individual selling to the
quiet buyer Will soon denude the farms '
of Michigan. The second lesso ill
follow easily and naturally when the
classes graduate from the first.

Our first conservation advocates
have come to realize that thirty-three
states of the Union are unable to pro-
duce their own agricultural and indus-
trial needs for wood, and Michigan is
one of these. New York is usually
considered to be the greatest producer
of farm timberland products in the
Union, and she produces only one—
tenth of the lumber she uses, while
only five states produce more lumber
than .they use.

HEN in 1922 Michigan farmers
carried away over fifty per cent
of the prize money for which
they competed at the international

~Grain and Hay Show, it was thought
that the zenith of their achievement

had been reached. But when they re-

« turn, as they did during the show
‘ just passed, compete with the largest
' and best array of crops samples ever

gathered together, and win greater
honors than ever before, who can say
to what heights the Star of Michigan
producers of quality crops will
Witness the oat class. Mic igan

‘- here competes in Region 2 which, be-
. sides the southern half of Michigan,
- includes parts of such states as Iowa,
~ Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin,
~ Ohio, Pennsylvania and New "York.
Prior to 1922 the best achievement of
~ “her farmers in this class was two or
’ three places well down the line. Last

d .

year Wolverine farmers made a real
showing, winning eighteen of a possi-
ble thirty-five places, but in 1923 they
were not contented until fully twenty-
seven of the honor ribbons decorated
Michigan entries.

Now turn to six-rowed barley with
competition open to all United States
and Canada. One prize was the best
previous showing of Michigan entries.
This year they carried away eleven of
a possible twenty-five.

Not contented with- carrying away
major honors in their own classes,
Michigan farmers, for the, first time,
made entries in Hard Red Winter
Wheat, with a new variety, Berkeley
Rock. Berkeley Rock is a hybrid
wheat developed by Professor. F. A.
.Spragg. .. .Dmminent . .. M. . A...

      

0-} plant ..

breeder. It was first grown on a field
scale in Michigan during the past sea-
son, with highly pleasing results as to
yield. At Chicago two entries of this
wheat were made, one by John Shoe
maker, of Hudsonville, the other by
Arnold Callen, of Caro. Because of
the quality, high protein content and
texture of Berkeley Rock these entries
were classified by government inspect-
ors as Hard Red Winter wheat, and,
competing with the best of hard
wheats from Kansas and the north-
west, both entries placed Well up on
the honor roll for this class.

. This winning is particularly signifi-
cant when it is brought to mind that
wheat of such quality really makes
possible the manufacture of flour from
Michigan wheat which will equal any

flour in the country tor bread— making,
and Michigan farm communities which
will standardize on this new wheat,
should have their home market consid-
erably improved.

Through the International, Michigan .
is fast acquiring a reputation as acorn 7
state, too. Here, again, her farmers
compete in Region 2, but despite the
fact that this region includes states .
more commonly called a part of the
corn belt than is Michigan, thirteen of
the twenty-five prizes, including the
first nine, were grown and exhibited .
by Michigan farmers. ‘

The new class for field beans found
Michigan at the top with the first .,
three of five places. Six of ten places
in soy-beans, all five places in white
winter wheat, the first six on flinothy '

RETURN GOOD CROP. ‘

 

Q. FERD McCRARY, of Bay City,

produced 222 bushels of Robust
beans from registered seed on seven
acres of his farm just north of Hope.
This yield was an average of nearly
thirty-two bushels, or more than dou-
ble the general average an acre for
this season.

GOOD PRICES FOR TUBERS.

 

R. FERD McCRARY, of Bay City,

siding in Lincoln township near
Averill, reports that he harvested 380
bushels per acre from eighteen acres
which is a good average for this sea-
son. He has sold two cars of good,
marketable tubers, receiving $1.25 per
bushel for the early Irish Cobbler va-
riety, and ninety cents per bushel for
the Petoskey Russet variety. His crop
was grown from certified seed.

WORKS IN THE WOOD-LOT.

 

SPEND a considerable portion of

' the winter months in the wood~lot
where I gather fuel and cut out any
ripe timber which is sold or taken
to the mill and cut into lumber. Stock
is kept from the wood-lot so'there is a
mass of new growth coming along as
fast as we take out some of the larger
trees. 'I give the more desirable vari-
""'~‘ eties of wood every chance to develop
by removing the lesser kinds and cut-
ting up into wood. I take pains to cut
the brush down to the smallest
branches, since, at the present prices
of fuel, it pays. In this way a sur-
prisingly large amount of fuel can be
taken from a comparatively small

CONSERVE SEED CORN.

 

VERY farmer who can select his

own seed corn should do so this
year, is the advice of A. B. Love,
Saginaw county agriculturist. He
should go further than this and select
as much seed as he possibly can. In-
dications are that there will be a
great demand for seed corn in the
spring.

The states south of us are appar-
ently going to have a very serious
problem in securing sufficient seed for
spring planting. Climatic conditions
have been such that much of the corn
south of Michigan is soft corn, or the
moisture content is so high that it
is rapidly moulding. This means that

 

ty is. apparently sufficiently mature to
make a good grade of seed corn, but
the moisture content runs fairly high.
The time is rapidly approaching when
every day we may expect heavy freez-

ing weather and unless corn is in such

shape that its moisture content is
about twelve to fourteen . per cent,
there is great danger of the geiminat-
ing qualities being injured by freez-
ing.

The moisture content can be low-
ered quite rapidly by hanging seed
corn on racks in such a manner that
there is a‘complete circulation of air.

TAX-EXEM PT SECURITIES.

 

HE President’s recommendations

in favor of the abolition of the
right to issue tax-exempt securities has
brought this question to the front,
with wide differences of opinion among
those who\claim to represent the farm-
ers. The fact that the farm mortgage
bankers’ organization are back of the
proposition in opposition to tax-free
securities is one of the reasons why
the farmers are somewhat wary of the
proposition. It is asserted that the
farm mortgage bankers get their mon-
ey tax-free through the insurance com-
panies, and would have an advantage
over the federal farm loan system if
farm loan bonds were taxed. It is also

argued that the move to prohibit the -

issuing of, tax-free securities is going
in the wrong direction; that all bonds
and mortgages should be tax—exempt;
that the tax on mortgages is paid by
the owner of the property covered by
the mortgage and the result is double
taxation.

posed by Representative Cramp<

REACTION T0 PRESIDENT'S so.
DRESS.

 

HE reaction on the message to

congress of President Coolidge, on
the whole. is favorable. It has given
confidence to business and industry,
as is reflected by improvement in the
stock market and the business situa-
tion generally.

Some of the farmers’ organization
leaders think that the President should
have gone at greater length into the
discussion of farm problems, and sug‘
gested a-concrete remedy for the alt
nation, while others are insisting that
he went as far as he could within the-
bounds of sanity and safety; in fact,
he said all there was to say.

GOVERNMENT Dear REDUCED.

 

HE President's message present-

ing the annual budget to congress
contains highly gratifying information
regarding the nation’s financial condi-
tion. He shows that the public debt
at the beginning of the war amounted
to about a billion dollars. At the close
of August, 1919, it reached its highest
point, approximately 326.500.000.000.
From that point it has since been re-
duced until it now totals about $22,-
000,000,900. In less than seven years
we have spent $40,000,000.000. and we
have paid off from current revenues
318.000.900.000. or nearly half of the
amount.

A reduction of $260,385, 022 in fedé -

F the hopes of its inventor. are

(fully. realized, the Bynmotor, a ma-

chine devised to cultivate ' the
ground over which it operates, will
eventually mean the complete emanci-
pation of thelvAmerican farmer from
the drudgery that now attends his
Work. For‘this device automatically
plows, sows, cultivates and reaps, with
only perfunctory attention at the hands
_of man. In other words, the farmer of
the future may be able to sit on his
"front porch and see his crops planted
and grown and harvested without ever
putting his hand to the work.

While all this sounds like a fairy
story, it is a fact—one of those sub-

stantial facts having length and
breadth and ’thickness. The inventor
has given his machine an exacting try-
out, with the most gratifying results.
For several years he has been using
the synmotor to do all of the work of
cultivating, etc., on his seventy-five-
acre farm, and the ease and thorough-
ness with which the work was accom-
plished has been the wonder and envy
of the neighboring farmers.

The synmotor consists of a four or
eight horsepower gasoline engine
adapted to any ordinary agricultural

implement, and with delicate guiding
apparatus connected by a broom wire
'to a drum mounted on a steel post in
the center of the field.- As the tractor
moves, the wire winds about the drum,
shortening the radius just enough to
guide the working implement into a
gently in-winding spiral. The Circum-
ference of the drum is thus the width
of the furrow or row or swath.

All the farmer has to do is to con-
nect the wire and crank the engine.
The synmotor will then work its way
around and around without attention,
until the small circles near the cen-
tral post are reached and the field is
done. The machine does its work ac-
curately and there is no wabbling
away from the rows or any too close
approach to them. The distance is
kept exactly.

Last summer the inventor worked
ten acres at a time, which area he
considers should be the standard
among farmers using the synmotor. A
field of this size requires a cable 371
feet long, although longer cables may
be employed if necessary. Almost any
farm machine may be drawn by this
motor through the simple expedient of
giving it a stub tongue. In addition
to the plow and cultivator, the disc,

' potato planter, plant setter, seed drill,
spraying machine, etc, may be used.
While the work of some of these nat-
urally involves the attention of a man,

tractor. Unlike the horse, the tractor .
can keep on going as long as there is
gasoline in the supply tank, so'the
logical thing is to have a mechanism
that enables it to run a working im-
plement automatically. That is what
the self-guiding synmotor does. '

The 1923 International Makes History

HE grand champion steer of the
1923 International, which closed
last week in Chicago, was
Broadus White Socks, a pure-bred An;
gus steer, who was held by Judge Reid,

~ of England, to be the best carcass he

had ever seen in his forty years of
butcher buying and judging.

This two~year-old steer was fed by
an Illinois farm boy, Floyd Armstrong.

- The boy found time during an exceed-

ingly busy year to cover the shoul-

' ders, back, loins, ribs and quarters of

this purple-bred animal with a won-
derfully deep coat of quality flesh.

The steer had been to the Interna-
tional before. In 1922 he headed a
strong class of senior Angus steer
calves. He then weighed one thou-
sand pounds. From the time he ar-
rived home until the first of June this
year, he was fed a grain ration of
crushed oats, corn-and-cob meal, a

bean meal. For roughage,-he got al-
falfa hay and silage. During all this
period he had the freedom of a lot
of considerable size where plenty of
exercise was taken.

From the first of last June he has
been housed during the day and turn-
ed out for the nights. His rugged ap-
petite was, thereafter, carefully satiSn
fied with alfalfa hay and 'a grain ra-
tion consisting of barley, wheat and
oats ground together, with a little bran
and oil meal.

When the highest honors of all cat-
tledom’were placed upon this steer,
he was twenty-six months and four
days old, and he weighed 1,470 pounds.

Turning to the carlot exhibits, where

discontinued, much to the sorrow of
breeders and visitors, we find E. P.
Hall, also of Illinois, capturing the
championship in the two-year-olds car-
lot class, with fifteen head of 1,300
pound Angus steers. This distinction
in the yearling class was awarded to
John Hubly, another Illinois man. Both
men are old feeders.

HE fifth annual convention of

the American Farm Bureau Fed-

eration, held at Chicago, on De-
cember 10-12, ended with Mr. O. E.
Bradl‘ute again elected president, and
the conservative group on top. It end-
ed also with the problem of compro-
mise, of harmony on some common
basis with the so-called radical group,
entirely unsolved.

The history of the past year, of
which many of the delegates appar—
‘ently were unaware, is important as
a background of the meeting. During
that period, the executive committee
has been divided as to the lines of
work to be carried 011 by the farm bu-
reau. One group charged the admin—
istration, particularly Secretary Cover—
dale, with failure to carry out the pol-
icies adopted at the previous annual
meeting with reSpect to cooperative
marketing. This group believed that
cooperative marketing should be the
primary object of the farm bureau or-

the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion a service station for cooperatives,
all such services to be paid for by the
woperatives.

The other group, while not minimiz-
ing cooperative marketing, backed up
theoflicials in insisting that the farm
bureau should follow a balanced pro-
gram, laying equal emphasis upon
transportation, marketing, legislation
and education.

The Farm Bureau and Cooperative
. Marketing.

The feeling in the executive com-
mittee came to a head during its meet-
ing on the Saturday preceding the an-
nual meeting when the resignation of
Secretary Coverdale was accepted. On
the same day at a conference on co-
operative marketing called by Walton
~fiteet. in the course of discussion of
the , activities, Mr. Peteet made
f the effect that the officials
the American Farm Bureau were

Permission to set traps implies that

tion accorded President 0. E. Bradfute
at the close of his address at the
opening of the convention when he
madea plea for an end to mudslinging
and said that the dispute ovel coopei-
ative marketing was a difference of
opinion as to “who" instead of as to
“how,” and as to who should reap the
glory of the pecuniary profits.

A set program which included re
ports of the various departments, and
many speeches, rather than a discus—
sion by the delegates of the work for
the coming year, afforded numerous
dramatic moments and opportunities
to test the prevalent sentiment among
the delegates.

One of these came when Secretary
Coverdale presented a report from the
records of the organization showing
that the states in which cooperative
marketing had been stressed as the
chief activity had not maintained their
membership, at least so far as paying
dues to the American Farm Bureau
was concerned. as fully as those states
in which the balanced program had
been followed. Mr. Coverdale also
was given a great ovation by the del-
egates. Following his report, Mr. S.
R. Guard, former director of the de-
partment of information of the Amer-
ican Farm Bureau, whose resignation
was accepted several weeks previous-
ly by President Bradfute because of
Mr. Guard’s opposition to Mr. Cover-
dale, obtained the floor to present his
plan for a general service program for
cooperatives to be carried out by the
farm bureau along such lines as or-
ganization, research, publicity. trans-
portation, legislation, etc.. these ser-
vices to be paid for by the coopera-
tives as a means of financing the farm
bureau. '

elected president by unanimous vote.

A RATION FOR HOLSTEIN COWS.

 

I would like a balanced ration for
my Holstein cows. i have some wheat

age with no com in it. Tell me what
feed to buys—WA. \V

As roughage is always cheaper than
grain, the cows should be fed all the
hay and silage they Will eat without
waste. Feed them hay twice a day.

One-third wheat and two-thirds oats
is about the right proportion to feed
these grains for best results. But
these foods are somewhat deficient in
protein and, for best production re-
sults, at least, some food containing a
high per cent of protein, like oil meal.
cottonseed meal or some other high
protein food should be fed. Two
pounds per day of these protein foods
will do very well.

It will pay to feed some cows one
pound of grain per day for every four
pounds of milk they produce. That is,
if they produce, say forty-eight pounds
of milk per day, give them twelve
pounds of grain, two pounds of oil

Many Resolutions.

Following the election, the resolu.’

tions committee presented its report.
It included, among other things, a res-
olution recommending that the state
and county farm bureaus should es-
tablish service relationships with co-
operative marketing associations in or—
der to encourage a more definite re-
lationship between the farm bureau
organizations and the commodity or.
ganizations than has existed up to
date, any services rendered by the
farm bureau to be paid for by the co-
operatives. Another resolution recom-
mended the discontinuance of tax-free
securities, objected to a general sales
tax, and a reduction of income taxes.

Cooperative marketing of farm prod-
ucts as offering the most practicable
means of stabilizing agriculture on a
profitable basis was again endorsed,
but no policy of action was outlined.
Other resolutions declared opposition
to price-fixing, favored a truthvln-fabric
bill. adequate appropriations for high-
way construction, the Henry Ford
Shoals Act, the electrification of Class
A Railways, an amendment to the [n—
termediate credit Act, changing the
intermediate loan period from six to
four months, limiting re—discounts on
loans under the federal reserve act to
two per cent above the basic federal
reserve rate, favored a merchant ma-
rine without subsidy, adequate tariff
on agricultural. products, limitation of
immigration, urged organization as the
major activity of the American Farm
Bureau for the coming year, urged the
adoption by county and state farm
bureaus of such ’methods as are nec-
essary to bring about a full member-
ship dues regularly every month, and
immediate adoption by the American
government of a vigorous foreign

meal, and ten pounds of ‘wheat and

COMPENSATION FOR LAND
TAKEN FOR ROAD.

 

I would like to know my rights re
garding the state changing a road, run-
ning it through my form and cutting
down about eighty-five fruit trees,
cherries and apples, fifteen shade
trees, oak and elms; also the drain
tile on the bottom land will hate to
be changed and the fences. Land ad—
joining me sells for $600 to $1,000 per
acre. Farm is in Benton Harbor. Is
there an allowance on the strip of
land between the old road and the
new?———G. H

Land may be taken for roads as
needed by condemnation proceedings,
and the compensation paid to the own-
er of the land for what is taken is the
amount that he is injured thereby as
assessed by the jury sitting in the
case. The owner of the land taken
has an opportunity to put in evidence
of the value of the land taken and its
value in connection with the other
land he has which would be lost by
loss of the part to be taken—Rood.

The best time to teach thrift is
when habits of life are being formed.

Factors Clash at Farm Bureau Mcct

Ammo/l Semiorz at Chm/g0 Rem/t5 in Comervalives Holding the Better Hand

A final resolution submitted by the
resolutions committee without recom-
mendation provided for endorsement
of the National Wheat Growers’ Ad-
visory Committee, headed by F. O.
Lowden, former governor of Illinois.
This resolution brought to a head the
differences of opinion among the del-
egates and was finally referred to the
new executive committee with power
to act. Since this committee is com-
posed mostly of members of the con-
servative group, this was considered
equivalent to’ pigeon-holing the resolu«
tion. .The National W'heat Growers’
Advisory Committee was not started
under farm bureau auspices, although
Mr. Peteet was a member of the com-
mittee. The U. S. Grain Growers,
which was fathered by the American
Farm Bureau, has finally begun to
function and it was believed by some
of the delegates that the interests
back of the Lowden committee, which
is dominated by the Sapiro-Peteet
g1 oup. were not favorable to the faim
bureau organization.

At the vote referring ’to the resolu-
tion. to the executive committee, Mr.
Peteet jumped to his feet, and accept
ing it as a declaration of‘ the delegates
that his cooperative marketing pro-
gram of the past ten months had not
been in keeping with their desires, re«
Signed as director of marketing.

The report of the steering commit-
tee as to the programfor the A‘meri.
can Farm Bureau for 1924, which pro;
vided for a reduced budget and dis-

continuance of some of the present -

activities was referred to the execu-
tive committee With power to act.
This report provided for a nominal
secretaryship to be combined with the
office of. director of organization. '

Illinois and Indiana were closely as
anointed with the Sapiro-Peteet group

all through the fight, and it is still un- ,

certain as to how the disagreement

There is a giant who works tirelessly
to lighten the labor on the Amer-
ican farm, to make the farm more
productive, and farming more
profitable.

   
 
   
   
 

He is personified b the vast re—

sources of the For organization, . -
whose herculean labors are directed f m .. . ‘

primarily toward lowering the cost “5 WM

The larger this giant has rown the
lower the prices of For products
have fallen, and the more valuable a
they have become from the invest- ”a,
ment standpoint as farm equipment. ' ,

        
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 

To the farmer this has meant lower
and lower farm costs, better arrange-
ment of farming activities, more
money crops, all with less effort and
therefore with greater net profit—
proof enough that it is to his interest
to standardize on Ford equipment.

DITCH CHEAPLY AND QUlCKl—Y
CLEANED.

 

DRAINAGE ditch between Shia—
wassee and Genesee counties, four
miles east of Durand, had been filled
in to a depth of about two and one-
half feet with weeds and earth. The
ditch was about eight rods long, and
a dredge would have had to be brought

, from a distance of nearly two miles

to do the job in that manner. Due to
this fact, the drainage commissioners
and boards had estimated the cost at
$10 per rod, aud'the lowest bid they

could secure from contractors, who

were none too anxious for the job.
was $12 per rod.

Mr. Larry Livingston, landsclearing
specialist, was called at this stage. He
had described his method previously
at a meeting of the drainage commis-
sioners of the state. About forty ofll-
Cials, contractors, and others interest-
ed in drainage problems, were present,
and all were skeptical as to the sac
cess of Livingston's method.

Mr. Livingston and an assistant
drilled three rows of holes about forty
inches apart, the holes in each row
being eighteen inches apart. A stick
of fifty per cent nitro-glycerine dyna-
mite was placed in each hole, and the
caps set off. The result was that after
the explosion, the material which had
plugged the. ditch was all over the
landscape, and the ditch was clear
along its entire length for a Width of
twelve feet and a depth of two and
one-half to three feet.

One contractor stated that the dem-
onstration had solved a problem which
had given him much thought. He had
a ditch-dredging contract which requir—

fed a ditch through some distance of

very wet land. The cost of operating

f a dredge through the stretch would be
very high,

if at all possible, and his
profits on the entire job might be en-
dangered by this short distance alone.

. By using the method demonstrated by
. Mr.
; was solved, and the, stretch which had

Livingston, the, entire problem
been giving him trouble could be dug
cost than the re
mainder of the job.

Mr. Livingston and his assistant

'spent approximately two hours each

on the job. Figuring their time at
$1-00 per hour as experts, the total la—

, bor cost was $4.00 for the eight rods,
, or fifty cents per rod.

The cost of the
eighty pounds of explosive required

‘ figured about $2.36 a rod. making a to-

tal cost 01' $2.85 per rod for the job,
as compared to the estimate of $10 per
rod by the commissioners, and the. $12

jbids by the contractors, which were
' even then diliicult to secure—43. V. H.

 

TWENTYffi/E ACRES OF ALFALFA
SELLS FOR $1.5M.

ICHIGAN farmers, and especially
those in the Thumb district, have

. learned that hay, especially alfalfa. is

a big money crop.
One of the best showings of alfalfa

.in dollars and cents has just been re-
'portcd by A. A. Pattulo, of Docker-

ville, Sanilac county, on the crop of a.
twenty—livencm field. The first cut-
ting of alfalfa was two tons per acre,
the second growth was left for seed
and produced forty bushels, which
sold to the local elevator for $15 per
bushel.

The salvation of Michigan potato
growers it seems, lies in the plantingl
of early potatoes or the early planting
of late Varieties in order to take ad-
vantage of the good August and Sep—l

the production of a greater variety of

BELLEV'UE FARMER GETS BIG
BEAN CHECK.

 

HAT farming can be made to pay

has been successfully proven by.
\V. Grant, a farmer living seven miles
from Bellevue. ’ He recently received
a check for $1,526.44 for the beans
from thirtysix acres, his season’s
crop. He also has about fifty bushels
at his farm for later delivery.

Mr. Grant’s success is attributed by
him to hard work and experience ap-
plied to his operations. He says,:
“Sure, farming can be made to pay if
you go at it in the right way."

An average of twenty bushels to the
acre has been his record this year;
He planted Robust beans. This was
his fifty—sixth year at farming—Mills:

THOUSAND BUSHELS OF TURNIPS; . '

them halt of the proceeds. As his

share the sewer has 500 bushels stor-i

ed in his barn—Mills.

SHORT ITEMS FOR THE BUSY
FARM ER.

 

Certified seed acreage in Michigan
for the present year will amount to
about 2,000 acres. Of this amount
about one thousand acres were certi-
fied through the Michigan Producers’
Association, and the remainder by the
Michigan Potato Growers' Exchange:

 

Tests made by the horticultlu'al stafi
of the M. A. 0. show that satisfactory
control of cherry leaf spot can be ob-
tained with a lime-sulphur solution
diluted to one and one-fourth parts of
the standard solution to fifty parts of
water. .

 

George Harrison, of Manton, produc-
ed 285 bushels of certified Irish Cob-j
blers from ten bushels of the same
stock, while Edward Brehm, of Wex—
ford county, planted six bushels of the!
same variety and harvested 150 bush-
cls.

A LOWER STANDARD GRADE.

 

, HILE » the question was not
' brought up in the meeting prop-

Uer at the‘recent fruit growers’ gath-
ering at Grand Rapids, there was con-

" siderable discussion in the lobby re-

garding what varieties of apples should
be entitled to the two and a quarter-
inch side for the Standard A. Grade.

There is no doubt but what some
varieties do not average up the regu-
lar two and a half inch size, and
therefore could not be included in the
Standard A. Grade unless some excep—
tions were made. Therefore it is pro-
posed that several varieties be per-
mitted in the Standard Grade when
they measure but two and a quarter
inches in diameter. '

It is very fortunate that most of
the varieties which need this lower
grade are not very common in Mich-
“igan. Such as Golden Sweet, Aiken,
Arkansas Black, Winesap, Westfield,
Cranberry Pippin, Haas, Lady Salome,

. Roxbury Russet and Autumn Straw-
, berry, which the growers were unani-
mous in permitting the two and a
quarter-inch grading, are not market
varieties in this state.

The greatest point of difference was
with reference to the Duchess and
Wealthy varieties. There is a stren-
uous effort on the part of many grow-
ers to have these included in the
'smaller gradings. On the other hand,
many apple men say that to put these
varieties in the two and a quarter-
inch grade would give the Michigan
Duchess and Wealthies a bad repute:
tion on the markets. Also, it is ar-
gued, that these varieties do not need
the lower measurements except in
years when the trees are loaded and
then it would be better to keep the
smaller apples at home in order to
keep the market from‘ being flooded
with small stuff.

Several wanted McIntosh, Pewau-
kee, Stark and Wagener in the lower
.measurement, but others raised stren-

uous objections to any such action.

UndOubtedly this subject will be
thoroughly discussed at the mid-win-
ter horticultural meeting, but in the
meantime, we would like the opinions
of our readers on this subject.

GRAPE POOLS PAY.

 

HE grape pools of the cooperative

association at Paw Paw show that
the association rendered the growers
a splendid selling agency during the
past season. The Concord season op-
ened September 18, and continued for
thirty-five days. The opening cash
price was $60 in bulk, and the associ-
ation netted the growers $67.25 for the
first two days’ packing. Price then
declined and at the end of the second
week of picking, cash buyers. were
paying $40 and the association netting
around $44. For the next two weeks
the price hovered around these figures
but the closing days of the season saw
the demand good and the association
pool for the last day was $71.22. The
average price for the season paid by
cash buyers was $48.57, and the asso
ciation price $53.12. In four-quart bas-
kets the average cash price was 21.5
cents, and the association price 23.4
cents. The association thus made the
growers an average profit of $4.55 per
ton on bulk, and 1.7 cents on the four-
quart baskets. The association had a.
splendid year'selling grapes for five
hundred growers and getting their re-
turns out within a few days after the-
sales were made—E. V. R.

 

A TREE WITH A HISTORY.

 

NEAR Paw Paw is a Greening ap- ,

ple tree which was brought from
New York in an ox-cart by the father
of W. L. Lee, in 1840. During the past
season, this eighty-three-year-old tree
produced forty-one bushels of apples.
Does this not indicate that a well-car-
ed for orchard is a good investment
for a life-long period?

give a list of religious books, suit-

able for Christmas gifts, and I’m
almost afraid I am too late, as this
will appear in the Christmas number.
However, it is never too late to get
good books. Frequently readers write
me asking where they can get such
and such a. book, which I have men-
tioned. All the books referred to in
this department can be had from the
book store in your town. If there is
no book store, they may be had at the
Methodist Book Concern, 28 East
Elizabeth Street, Detroit. There are
other book firms in Detroit, but I can-
not give the street‘ numbers, hence
this one firm will be sufficient.

No home that pretends to believe in
Christianity ought to be without at
least a few relig-
ious books. “One
reason why some
of the younger
generation s e e m
to have frivolous,
restless and on
satisfied minds,”
says Henry Van
Dyke," is because
30' many modern homes have
no real religious books in them.” Doc-
tor Van Dyke then mentions one or
two books that he thinks worth while:
“A Lab1ador Doctor,” b3 Sil. W. T.

I HAVE intended for some weeks to

it); and “Chiist, the Light and Life
of the World,” Speer, (Publishers,
gRevell).

A word on the first two. “A Labra—
Edor Doctor" is the autobiography of
one of the most interesting men of our
day. A young British medical gradu-
iate, he was converted in an evangelis-
tic meeting held in Oxford, by the late
D. L. Moody. He then got a place in
a fishing fleet on the North Sea, for a
time, as medical attendant There he
saw the t1emendous need of these
dwellers in the deep. He heard of the
isolation and loneliness of the fisher.
folk in the far north. He went one
summer to Labrador, saw. the aching
need, and resolved to give his life to
those people. He is doctor, preacher,
explorer, scientist, mariner, sheriff, all
in one. The book is full of startling
stories of adventure, some of which I
am almost inclined to stop and relate.
But get the book and let it speak for
itself. A good book for boys, as well
as their dads. “What Men Live By,”
is by a Harvard professor, and is on
work, play, love, service.

ERE are some more. “Mary Sies-

sor of Calabar,” by W. P. Living
stone, (Doran). The record of a. white
woman who went to one of the most
hopeless sections in Africa and lived
there, alone, for thirty years, among
the black tribes. Some of the adven-
tures she went through are almost un—
believable. There is not a dull chap«
ter in the book. It shows what a per-
son who is consecrated to God can do
with his life. The life of David Liv-
ingstone, by Horne, (Macmillan),
would be a welcome visitor in many
homes. The story of the greatest of
missionary explorers bis told in a new
way, by the famous English preacher.
“The Story of John Frederick Ober-

,lin” is a book I like to turn to, ever

and anon. it is very refreshing. Ob-
erlin is the most famous rural minister
of whom we have any record. What
he did among the poor mountaineers
in northern France deserves emula-
tion. Get this book and make a pres‘

that if it helped others to.,love it. It
consists of brief chapters on famous
texts, such as, Martin Luther’s text,
Sir John Franklin’s text, (this chapter
alone is worth the price of the book);
Sir Walter Scott’s text, and so on.
Boreham has almost a. dozen other
books. He‘never disappoints. What
is the matter with America? We are
Something seems to
be the matter. “United States Citizen-
ship,” by Dr- G. P. Mains, deals with
this subject, from a Christian point of
view.‘ A good book.

HERE are big little books. Such as
What it Means to be a Christian,"
by Bosworth (Pilgrim Press). This
came out last year. A splendid little
book, very simple and easily under-
stood. “The Meaning of Prayer,” “The
Meaning of Faith,” are two tiny books
by Dr. H. E. Fosdick. They have been
sold into the hundreds of thousands of
copies. Arranged for daily reading.
He also has one on “The Manhood of
the Master." Evolution bothers many
people. They declare that one can-
not be a Christian and believe in evo-
lution. "I believe in God and in Evo-
lution,” by Dr. W. W. Keen, (Lippin-
cott’s), is on this subject. It is a very
small book, and can be read in an hour
or so. But it is very interesting and
helpful. The author is one of Ameri-
ca's most celebrated surgeons, now
past eighty years of age, and still
going strong. People who are perplex-
ed by evolution may well read this.
Roosevelt is loved by many, and hat-
ed by some. There is a one dollar
edition of his life, by 'I'hayer. (Gros-
set and Dunlap). This is not a relig-
ious book, exactly, but it contains
much more moral dynamite. The Bible
is still the best selling book, far out-
distancing all others. “How we Got
Our Bible,” is a small book, telling
the story of how the Bible came to be.

come out, translated by Dr. Goodspeed,
of Chicago. These are very helpful,
in getting at the meaning of the New
Testament. People Who object to new
translations of the Bible. forget that
if it had never been translated it
would still be in Hebrew and Greek.
The people of this generation have
just as much right to do their own
translating, as had the scholars in the
days of James I.

BE SENSIBLE ABOUT CHRISTMAS
DIET.

 

HOPE that your celebration of this

Christmas season will not necessi‘

tate a visit to the doctor. Take
counsel with me as to your diet, and
perhaps we can manage to keep other
doctors away.

Everyone likes to humor his palate
a little at the festive Christmas sea.-
son. I am a believer in it, myself. A
lot of the joy and good cheer that ex«
hilarate one at the Merry Christmas
time, and make One feel that, after
all, life is worth living, are closely as—
sociated with the savory Smell of cook-
ing and the spicy taste of unusual
“once a. year” sweets and dainties. It
is all right, but be moderate. Don't
run to excess.

One of the commonest forms of ex-
cess at the Christmas season is in the
use of sugar. Pies and puddings and
cakes, desserts and sweets and can-
dies are at the top notch of recogni-
tion. In many families they are not
confined to Christmas Day, but run
riot throughout the week and reach a.
grand finale of destruction on New
Year’s Day, unless the subject of the
sweet indiscretions has succumbedbe—
fore that time. .

Four ounces of sugar is as much as
one strong, healthy person can dispose
of properly in a single day. This does
not mean four ounces in addition to
the amounts used on cereals and‘in
tea or coffee. It means a. total of four
ounces.

So, in advising moderation in your.
diet for the Christmas holiday,‘1t 18'
against sugar that I especially warn’
you. Close to that will ceme excessive-
eating of meat foods. Have a good
meal, by all means. But give special
attention to the many tasty vegetables
and salads with which you may adorn
your table. Let the helping be moder-
ate in meats and large in vegetables.

Make a point of having fruit and
nuts for the desserts. The sugar in a.
sweet apple is much more easily cared
for than that taken in the form of
candy. There are many varieties of
nuts and fruit that add greatly to the
pleasures of the table and do it with-
out menace to the digestion.

WHAT IS EXOPHTHALMIC GOlTER?

 

Will you please. tell me what is
meant by a goiter of the exophthalmio
varietly: and the cause and the result?

An exophthalmic goiter is so-called
because of the way in 'which it affects
the eyes. It is quite different from or-
dinary goiter and the iodine treatment
that is so'helpful in the simple form
is generally worse than useless; Many
cases of exophthalmic goiter respond
very favorably to the rest and body-

th 1 mtfiowu‘t'o their meal of si
boom, and mm; coffee—a great,
bearded giant andtho younger man
who'd he, in a moment of impulsive-
ness. had all but adopted. Ba’tiste was
still joking about the visit of Medaine,
Houston partying his thrusts. The
meal finished, Ba’tiste went forth once
more, to the hunt of a bear trap and
its deadfall, dragged away by a moun—
tain lion during the last snow. Barry
sought again the bench outside the
cabin, to sit there waiting and hoping
—in vain. At last came evening, and
he undressed laboriously for a long
rest. Something awaited him in Tab-
ernacle—either the opening of a book
of schemes, or at least the explanation
of a mystery, and that meant a walk
of quite two miles, the exercise of
muscles which still ached, the strain-
ing of tendons drawn by injury and

 

pain. But when the time came, he
was ready.
“Ben—wgood!” came from Ba'tiste,

as they turned into the little village
of Tabernaclethe next day, skirted
the two clapboarded stores
the “main business district," and edg-
ed toward the converted box car that
passed as a station. “Ban—the agent
he is leaving.”

Barry looked ahead, to see a man
crossing an expanse of flat country
toward what was evidently a boarding
house. Ba’tiste nudged him.

“You will walk slowly, as though
going into the station to loaf. Ba’tiste
will come behind—and keep watch.”

Bruz'iz’r Frz'mdr Search for Him

‘ FTER the little stranger squirrel
came to Rolly Rabbit’s with
Bruin’s message for help, he

knew he must do something right
away if he were to aid his friend. And
he could not do it alone. To get Bruin
out of a big trap, he must have help.

“Little squirrel, run as fast as you
can to Willie Woodchuck’s house and
bring him with you to the big tree
where you left Bruin. I will hop over
to Frankie Foxy’s house and tell him.
Frankie Fox and I will meet you
there,” said Rolly.

“Are you sure you know where to
go, Mr. Rabbit?" asked the little
stranger squirrel. ,

' “Quite sur’e," said Rolly. “It is about

fifty hops south of the big elm tree'

near the edge of the old frog pond.

 

Now run!

We must get there before
the man does.”

And all they both scampered as fast
as their short legs could carry them,
”and that is much faster than win or I
can run with our longer ones.

Frankie Fox and Rally Rabbit had
much farther to go than 'their two
companions, but Willie Woodchuck
was so fat he just couldn’t run fiast.

At the cross-road, they met Rally
and FrankieFox, and all four ran .on

slackened his pace and stopped right
by the big trap that had held Bruin’s
foot. It was wide open, and that told
the story. Someone had helped Bruin
out, and taken him away.

Rolly Rabbit bent his head to the
ground. “Sniff, sniff.” Then he went
on a few steps and examined the
leaves carefully. In a few minutes he
came back to his friends. 1

“Two men have taken Bruin away.
They will shut him up. we must find
him. \Vho will help me?” he asked. ‘

“I will," chorused his friends, and
even a little bird up in the tree who
had heard the story, chimed in, too.

H E R E i s
s m a l 1 ex-
cuse for
any Christmas ta-
, ble in the land to
unadorned—al-
“ though the coun-
try woman is par-
ticularly fortu-
nate, for she is
rich in woodland
treasures, which
make charming
table decorations.
T h e m o s t ef-
fective ornaments
are often the simplest. The orange
bittersweet, blue— gray ba1be1ries, shin-
ing black dogberries and misty juniper
beriies combine wonderfully with
trailing ground pine, glossy lau1 el and
pine twigs.
One of the most attractive decora-
tions which natuie affords, is the small
pine tiees which may be found in any
woodland. They me most suitable f01
table decorations if not more than
eighteen inches high.
Nothing will delight the kiddies
more than a make-believe winter land-
scape scene These are very simple
to make. The lake around which the
scene should be built, should be put
in place first. A table mirro1 is the
proper thing for the lake, although any
small mirror will do. Group tiny pine
or cedar twigs, small stones and moss
about the mirror. Sprinkle liberally
with artificial snow. The result will
be a very realistic out—of—doors Christ-
mas scene and the lake will look like
a veritable glittering surface of ice.
It will greatly add to the joy of the
children if a miniature Santa Claus
may be seen peeping out from behind
the little trees.
Of course, fruit is always appropri-
ate as a Christmas decoration. A
centerpiece of this kind may be made
up of well-polished apples, bananas,
grapes and winter pears. Trailing
ground pine may be combined very
effectively with fruit.
If oranges are combined with bay-
berries and arranged in a rich brown
basket, they will look their best, while
white or green grapes will be charm-
ing with trailing ground pine when
placed in a small glass basket. The
pine should be festooned up the side
of the basket and allowed to droop
gracefully at the opposite side.
But the table is only a small part
of the Christmas decorations. When
father or the boys go to the woods for
the Christmas tree, ask them to take
the wagon and get plenty of extra
pine for decoration purposes. Let it
be piled above the livingvroom door,
massed behind the large pictures and
artistically grouped and festooned
above and about the fireplace mantle.
Small pine trees placed at suitable
salient points or vacantgnooks take
the place of rubber plants, palms, etc. .,
at little or no cost, but if one is crowd-
ed for room, this is not advisable as
the little trees will have a tendency
to make the room look smaller.
». So few of us farm women appreci-

ate the decorative pess'ibilities of na-
ture’s dinple treasures that many of
city sisters envy us!

A Help at Butchering Time

A an over-supply of fresh meat. To

prevent a loss by spoilage the

But why not have some of the nice
tenderloin in March, or” a meat loaf
all ready to serve by merely heating

PAPERING KALSOMINED WALLS.

 

How should a. kalsOmined wall be
treated before paperingfi if such is nec~

essary. 7— —Mr s.

It is best to have the greater pait

of the kalsomine removed from the

wall. otherwise it may cause the paper
to cleave from the wall.

If there is a thick Coating of kal<
80mins, remove as much as possible
with a knife or sharped'ged instru-
ment, being careful not to mar the
plastered surface. Then wash the
walls well with a strong solution of
vinegar. When this is dry, sweep the
walls dowu well with a stiff brush. A
small amount of alum added to the
paste will make paper stick better.

I got my report card tonight and

Dear U ncle F1 ank:

I received my membership card I
am going to try to live up to it

I had just come in from milking and
was reading the “Boys of ’61. ” Grand-
»ma said, “Did you see the lettei from
Uncle Frank?” I said, “No.” She
went and found it for me I danced

for joy when I saw the membership
card and pin.

The Canning club Exhibit at the State Fair. '

I wrote once before but did not see
mv letter in print. But I will try, try,
and try again until I win out. I hope
this misses that “Horrid waste paper
basket.”—Yours sincerely, Jack Ham-
ilton, Bellevue, Mich., R 3.

To have you get a thrill out of get-
ting a Merry Circle membership after
reading the thrilling experiences of
the boys of ’61, pleases me. Keep a
coming, Jack. ~

 

I will say Dear Mr. Frank, as I do
not know what your other name is.
And as I am not a M. C. it would not
be right for me to say Uncle Frank.

My, but I hope it will not be long
until I can call you Uncle Frank.

We girls in the school would like to
have an M. C. Club, and, of course,
someone always has to be first. So
here I go.

As I am sending the answe1 to the
lead- and win question, I will describe
myself. I am twelve years old and am
in the seventh grade—From a want-
-to—be cousin, Lillian M. Detwiler, R. 1,
Petoskey, Mich.

You need not be a Merry Circler to
call me Uncle. I really would prefer
it, as Mr. sounds too formal. It pleas-
es me that you are making a start for
a club in your school.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I am writing this in school so please
excuse the p001 writing

I hope this lette1 sticks to the spot
of glue on you1 desk.

Now, Uncle Frank, I think your pic-
ture in the paper was nice. You look
something like your baby picture,
don’t you think so?

I send my best regards to Mr. W. B.
From Clara Moore, R. 8, St. Johns,
Michigan.

Isn’t it funny that my picture should
look like my baby picture? It’s of the
same baby, only several years older.

I am giving Mr. W. B. your regards.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

Say, Uncle, can you ride a bicycle?
I can. My brothe1 taught me how.
For about two weeks after I had learn-
ed to stick on a bicycle, I never got off
by myself, I just fell off. And the first
time I rode down a large hill, I never
put my feet on the brake, and when I
hit the loose gravel, well, I couldn’t
ride a bicycle for nearly a week. The
kids used to laugh to see me wheel
the bicycle down a large hill. Those
days we gone forever, because I can
iide down large hills at last.

When I lea1ned that some giil had
voiced her dislike of your photo, I
could have pulled her hair. I wouldn’t
want you to look any different.»—
Myrtle Dupont, Allegan, Mich.

Yes. I used to ride bicycles before
autos were known, and I’ve done
stunts similar to the one you have
done. I am glad you do not want me
to look any different, because I want
to look with my eyes the same as oth-

er folks.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:
I wonder if the Rex Ellis that

  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
     
     
   
 
 

 

“Memories,”
is the same Rex Ellis who belongs to

wrote the poem entitled,

the Merry Circle?” If so, must be he‘
intends to be a poet. He has gained
quite a start, already. Don’ t you think
so, Uncle Frank? It was pretty googd

just the same.

I wish I could have been as talented
as most of the Merry Ciiclers are, but
I am not the least bit talented. All I
can do is wash- dishes. Can you wash
dishes, Uncle Frank? I hope so.

fSay, maybe I am inquisitive, but
isn’t “Aunt Martha." your wife? Now,
if she isn’t, don’t get‘angry, because,
you know the only way to find out is
to ask questions.

Well, I must close and get my Lat-
in. I have ten sentences to translate
tonight. ,

So good- bye, from your “Old Pal ”
Evelyn T. Brooks, R 2, Clarksville,
Michigan.

Yes, you guessed right about Rex
but not about Aunt Martha Auntie
and Martha Cole are the same. Yes,
I can wash dishes but I would rather
dry them. Pardon me, but I think
your letter shows you have talent.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

men smoking, also young girls? I
don’t approve of it myself, neither get-
ting drunk on hard cider.

Among the Club Workers

M dry 11. Pz'ec/zo‘wz'aé T 6115 of Her C/ué Experience:

HAVE been in club work for four
I years and I believe that in those

four years I have had the best time
that I shall ever have in my school
life.

I belonged to the gardening club in
my first year. In my second year I
belonged to the gardening and can-

 

May is State Club Champion.
hing clubs, and my third and fourth

years were devoted to the canning

club work.

One day in spring, about four years.

ago, a man came to our school who
said that he wanted to teach us some
songs. All the upper grades gathered
together and we were taught the song,
“Old McDonald Had a Farm." We
were all taken up with that song, as
anybody would be. Then, we were
told of.t11e club work, and most all the
boys and girls were very enthusiastic
_ about it. A gardening club was start-
ed in our school and it proved very
successful.

In my first year of club work, I re
ceived a prize at the county fair for
my exhibit, and a’trip to M. A. c.,
with all my» expenses paid, for receiv-
ing the county championship in gard-
ening. In my second year, I received
prizes' for my gardening and canning
exhibits, and a. trip to M. A. C. for
my canning. In my third year, I re-
ceived'a, trip ot M. A. C. and to the
Chicago Live Stock Show, and in my
fourth year I won trips to M. A. C.
and the State Fair.‘

In my trips to M. A. C. I haVe had -*
wonderful times. The leaders arrang-,;
ed wonderful programs and we “had

 

great times at that beautiful college.
While at M. A. C. we organized a state
club of the county champions. We
elected officers and we have state club
pins. I think that all the boys and
girls who have enjoyed themselves at
M. A. C. during club week ought to
thank the good state leaders. '

The trip to Chicago was great: I
had a good time at the Live Stock
Show and I enjoyed meeting club
members from all parts of the coun-
try. I think all the members enjoyed
the luncheons and dinners that were
given in our honor, and we also en-
joyed going sight-seeing.

The trip to the State Fair, at De-‘

troit, was interesting. We were sent
there to demonstrate. We. enjoyed
seeing all the displays, and meeting

friends whom' we met at M. A. C. dur-V ‘

ing club week.

Club work has taught me how to
economize and to earn money without
putting much into a thing. For in-
stance, in my gardening work I bought
my seeds at a very low price and
when my crops were sold I had enough
money to start into the canning club
the following year.

During my club work I made enough
money to start me in college. I think
any boy or girl can do this, go into‘
club work, sell the products, and save
the money for an education.

Club work has made me like farm'

life so well, that if I should ever get
a chance to be a county club leader in
a farm community I would not hesi-
tate for a second. '

I don’t think club work could be'

criticised in any way, forit helps. the
members in every way it can. '

I think boys and girls ought to take
up club work, because it will teach
them what it has taught me, and help
them as it has helped me.

the rough road of life.

I am very much interested in,

Circle, for I think it will help

FILL THE GRIT HOPPER.

 

ON many forms the hens obtain
plenty of grit while on the range,
but when housed for Winter the grit
supply is forgotten. If a. barrel of fine
gravel has not been saved for that
purpose it pays to buy the commercial
grit. Hens cannot obtain the proper
nourishment from the hard grain and
bulky mash unless they have grit to
grind it up.

I once visited a. flock of hens that

, were supplied with plenty of mash,

scratch grain and green food, but the
owner had not been able to go to town
for commercial grit for several weeks
and the hopper had been empty. The
birds were on a, board floor covered
with straw, so had no chance to dig
gravel from the floor, as they often
do in earth floor houses. The hens
seemed lacking in appetite and vigor.
The ground was frozen and covered
with snow, so we could not obtain
gravel. But we did find an old crack-
ed earthen jug. This was cracked up
by hammering the broken chunks on a
chunk of wood. The small square bits
of the jug were placed in a. shallow
pan and given to the hens. As we
thought, they were starved for grit.
They ate down the grit like corn, and
in about five minutes the _ jug was
gone. The example proves the strong
craving for grit that exists when hens
are deprived of it. It is evidence of
the fact that they cannot thrive with-
out it. Before the roads are blocked
with snow it always pays to inventory
the poultry supplies and be sure there
is sufficient grit to keep the hoppers
filled—R. G. Kirby.

 

OLD ROOSTERS AS BREEDERS.

 

Is a rooster which is now two years
old valuable for breeding purposes an-
other spring?——H. C.

A two-year-old rooster is sometimes
used another year for breeding pur-
poses if he has special value due to
his‘type or pedigree, and has been pro
ducing chicks of fine quality. Poultry-
men usually find that cockerels are
the most vigorous and are apt to pro-
duce the largest per cent of fertile
eggs. But an old bird that is healthy
and vigorous may produce very satis-
factory»results.—K. R.

 

TURKEY WITH SWELLING.

 

I have a. hen turkey with a. bladder
of water under the neck in the gill.
What is the cause? Is there any cure?
Will it hurt the turkey ?——A. H. .

A swelling of this type is probably
caused by inflammation due to a cold
caused by exposure to wind and damp-
ness. At first it contains a. colorless
material which later may develop into
a. cheeSy pus similar to roup. Lance
the swelling to give free drainage and
then wash the wound with a solution
of potassium permanganate or one of
the commercial coal tar disinfectants.
If the bird is otherwise healthy, 8.
quick recovery may result. Some-
times it is necessary to drain anddis-
infect such a, wound several times be‘
fore healing results.

 

KEEPING DUCKS AT HOME.

 

‘ Will you please tell me some rem-
edy to keep my ducks at home? They
seem to be determined to go to the
neighbors—C. T. W.

Both ducks and geese often show a
tendency to wander to a. nearby neigh-
bor’s farm, usually because of 'some
attraction like‘ a. pond of water or the
regular feed and water supply that is
provided by, the neighbors for their
owngstock.-c . «

Goose wfi'H WEAK LEGS ‘1

 

I have a, goose which became lame
in one leg. I put her by herself,"-but

Her appetite seems as good some? or.
Can you tell me what is the. lo
and suggest a remedyi—Mrs. H.»B

Birds are subject toleg wedkriéss
when the weight of the body seems
greater than the strength can beer.
The trouble is not thoroughly under} .,
stood and cannot be treated with Inad-
icine. The Only remedy is to isolate
the bird from the flock and give it Tole '
best of rations and often theti‘ouble‘
will disappear._ Lame-nose might: be
due to rheumatism caused by spending -
the night in damp, undralned malice. _'
Geese can stand a. lot of cold‘ arid
dampness during the‘day, but should.
have a. dry, well-drained resting "place -
at night—R. ' ‘ é .

BLOOD SPOTS IN EGGS. '

I‘heve been troubled with my hens'
eggs having little blood specks-

them about the size of a pin head.
Could you tell me what causes it end ;

A

Small clots sometimes appear in the
first eggs laid byxp'ullets. They ”are 3
most apt to occur in hens’ eggs when ‘

HHOHJHMMM

the birds arevlaying‘ heavily in the .
spring, or when being forced for eggs . .
with concentrated rations. .' '

Such eggs are’all right to use, but
have to be candled‘out when sold'to
a. high-class trade,.vae they Will not
grade as highéclass stock." Thefico‘ndi- _
tion may be causedby small ruptures l *
due to the strain of laying. Hens that -

GROUND WHEAT m nAvIoNf'

 

I want to feed my hens the balanced .
ration. Will ground. wheat~ replace
middlings a‘nd bran? How» many
pounds of wheat would it, take tot.v190
pounds of meat scraps, corn and oats?
-—Mrs. C. E. P. ‘ -

'In the frequently recommended "lay-

of bran, middlings, groundoats, ground
corn and beef scrap, it is possibleto
substitute 100 pounds of ground'wheelt
for the middlings and obtain satisfac—
tory results. However, i think it best
to use the bran in the ration as-jt
keeps the mixture from becoming too
concentrated and bran seems to have .
a better effect on the digestive tract. ‘ ,A
A scratch grain mixture for tiw‘lnt'etr ; 3 ,
containing twice as' much corn as
wheat, is frequently recommended,
Because of the price this winter many '
farmers with plenty of wheat will re- ,;
verse the ration and We mice as '. ’ "
much .wheat as'corn. This will prob? ‘
ably give fairly good results. -' ' "

Now ALL soon cows MAY GET

RECOGNITION.

'AIBY cattle breeders in Michigan
are to have an opportunity to list
heat cows upon a record of per-
tarmance register under the supervis-
10!: and control of the Michigan Cow-

testing Associations and the Dairy Ex—

tenSIon Division, Michigan Agricultur-
al College, according to an announce-

'men-t made at the college recently by

Prof. 0. S. Reed, head of the college
dairy department.

Certificates will be issued for all an-
imals that qualify and a year-book will
be published giving the records of the
cows winning a place on the “Record
of Performance,” thus forming an hon-
or roll as an annual record cf the best
cows in the .Michigan Cow- testing As-
sociations.

Requirements" which must be met
to win a place on the roll and a certifi-
cate of merit will be as follows: Two
hundred and eighty pounds or more
of butter-fat for heifers calving under
three years old; 310 pounds or more
for cows calving under four years old;
345 pounds or more for cows calving
under five years old, and 385 pounds
or .more for cows five years or older.
All cows enrolled in regularly organ—
ized cow-testing associations in the
state will be eligible for entry.—Benj.

I in annual convention to improve the

 

status of this most important indus-
try. The February meeting is to be a.

PROTEIN MUST BE ADDED TO
MAKE WELL-BALANCED
RATION.

I have no silo, but feed cornstalks.
some alfalfa, clover and timothy. I
do not wish to buy grain. I have com,
oats and rye and wish to feed these
mixed. Please advise me the right
proportions. Corn is on the cob, and
I prefer to grind it, cob and all—-
R. C. F.

Cmnstalks and mixed hay are de-
ficient in protein to make a balanced
ration. A balanced ration is one that
contains the food nutrients in the
proper proportion so they will be con-
sumed without waste. Experiments
show that this proportion is about one
of protein to six of carbohydrates.
Clover hay is a good example of a
balanced ration. The only difficulty
is that it is too bulky. Cows can hard-
ly eat enough of it to do their best.

The concentrates, corn, oats, rye
are also deficient in this element, pro-
tein, to make a balanced ration. You
can feed enough so the cows will get
a sufficient amount of protein. but if
you do there will be waste of carbohy-
drates. Oats are your best food here
and the more you feed the nearer you
will come to a balanced ration. If you
do not buy a little cottonseed or oil
meal then you should feed at least as
much oats as you do corn and rye
combined. Say, 200 pounds of oats to
100 pounds of corn and 100 pounds
of rye.

It is not advisable to feed the cob
as your ration is bulky enough without
it and there is little or no food value
in the cob.

Two pounds of cottonseed or oil
meal per day per cow, or wheat bran
mixed with corn, oats and rye in the
proportion of 200 parts of bran, 100 of
corn, 100 of oats and 100 of rye, will
make more of a balanced ration. It
might pay to sell some of the rye and
buy some of these foods. You could
easily tell by trying it out in a small
way at first.

The Horse Show.

'An outstanding winning in the live
stock classes was the award of the
junior and grand championship of the
show to Pervenche, two-year— —old Bel-
gian mare entered by the Michigan
Agricultural College. Pervenche won
the first place in her class and the two
highest honors in the show were later
given her, ranking her with the best
horSes of the country. This award
was prObably one of the highest ever
won by a M. A .C. entry.

In other horse classes, Range Line

Brothers, of Ohio, but since purchased
by M. A (3., won first ace in his
class and the junior and reserve grand

or twenty-eight, the strongest class in
the show, on Jalapeen, who placed
above Giroust II, the grand champion
horse at the Ohio State Fair, and a
colt just recently imported. A second,
third and sixth place were taken in
Clydesdale classes.

W. E. Scripps, of Orion, with his
purple-bred Belgians carried home
first and fifth on aged mares, third on
brood mare; second on yearling mare,
filly foals, and stallion with three
mares; thi1d on three mares and first
on produce of dam.

In Percherons, J. L. Miller, of Cale—
donia, was awarded fourth place on
stallion foals.

The contest on cattle carcasses also
brought prizes to the Michigan Agri-
cultural College. Fourth place -in sen-
ior yearling was awarded that insti-
tution on an Aberdeen Angus, which
steer also was fourth in Aberdeen An-
gus special and fourth on junior year-
ling.

The attention given this year to the
junior feeding, breeding and judging
contests was away larger than in any
previous show, and the results justi-
fled the expansion along this line in
every way. At this great show thou-
sands of boys and girls had fixed in
their minds live stock ideas such as
millions of stock raise-rs in the coun-
try have never approached. The value
of this to the live stock interests of
the country during this coming gener-
ation cannot be measured.

VETERINARY.

 

Periodic Ophthalmia.—I have a, pair
of horses that have been having trou—
ble with their eyes. The eyes inflame,
cloud over, then in a few days seem-
ingly clear; however, after a. time get
sore again. A. A. B., Hudson, Mich.—
When the attack comes on, give a pint
or two of either mineral 01 raw lin-
seed oil to clear out the intestines,
then give one dram of sodium salicy-
late in feed three times a day. Fo~
ment eyes with hot boracic solution, a
teaspoonful in a. quarter of a pint of
warm water three times a day, and if
film appears on eyeball, blow equal
parts of calomel and boric acid into
eyes daily. Kindly understand that a
bright light always irritates a sore eye.

Bull Lacks Vim.——I bought a Guern-
sey bull two months ago. After serv-
ing two cows on. different dates, he re-
fused to serve a cow as he should.
I feed him oats, ensilage, and all the
hay he will eat. , Stanwood,
Mich—Give him one dram of powder-
ed nux vomica at a dose in feed three
times a day. Exercise him daily. Yo-
himbine hydrochloride is best remedy
for him, but it is costly.

Torpidity of Liven—+1 hav ve a mare
eight yeais old which has spells of
being dull and stupid. Called a vetei-
inary who gave her cathartic medicine
which made her better for a while.
The next sick spell she had we called
another veterinary and he gave her a
laxative medicine. This helped her,
but she is not right. A. S., Paw Paw,
Mich.——Give her one dram of calomel
and one ounce of bicarbonate of soda
in soft feed twice a week for two
weeks. Also give a tablespoonful of
Glauber’s salt in feed twice a day. Ex-
ercise her daily.

Propapsed Vagina. -——I have a sow
that farrowed seventeen pigs last May.
011 October 18 she farrowed eighteen
pigs, but womb came out. I did my
best to return it, but failed to keep it
in place. Her vagina still protrudes.
I am going to fatten her, but before
doing so shall I cut oil the parts
which protrude? W. E. 1)., Menddn,
Mich. ——Keep her in clean pen and

fatten her as she is.

WHEAT

The advance in wheat prices a week
ago was short-lived and most of the
gain has been lost. On moderate dips,
sufficient speculative support devel-
ops to prevent any severe decline, but
the large quantity of wheat in com—
mercial channels in this country, Can—
ada and elsewhere, is too much of a
burden for a decided upturn. Mills
claim that choice wheat is scarce and
such grades are bringing substantial
premiums, suggesting that a large
fraction of the Visible supply consists
of undergrades. The international
market for wheat is dominated by the
heavy offerings from Canada and the
knowledge that a large surplus is still
available in that country and that both
Argentina and Australia will begin to
ship generously from their new crops
shortly after the first of the year. Bas-
ed on the rate of disappearance to
date, importing countries will require
30,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels more
wheat than they were expected to take
earlier in the season.

CORN

Receipts of corn are running slight-
ly heavier than last year and above
the average for the corresponding pe
riod in the last ten years. Most of the
supply has been promptly absorbed as
numerous holes in trade channels cre-
ated by high prices on the old crop
were to be filled up. The visible sup-
ply is gaining, however, and probably
will continue to mount for two or
three months. A small amount of corn
is being sold for export as prices are
on a competitive basis. It is reported

. that remaining stocks in Argentina
are extremely small and exports from
that grower have fallen off during re-
cent weeks, but this defection is part-
ly offset by liberal shipments from
Danubian countries.

OATS

Oats are not reaching primary mar-
kets as fast as they are disappearing,
and reserves accumulated at terminals
Iriarebeing whittled down steadily. The
‘ visible supply has dropped from 20,-
“ 488,000 five weeks ago to_18,058,000
.. bushels at the present time.

V. SEEDS.

The clover seed market is dull and
little activity is expected until after
the holidays. Prices are lower than a
week ago, as retailers are slow to pro-
vide for their spring requirements. 0n
the other hand, shipments from pro-
ducing sections are light and it is be
lieved that most of the high quality
seed in foreign countries has been
cleaned up at recent offerings, have
not been satisfactory.

FEEDS

Deliveries of wheat feeds by flour
mills are rather heavy, although the
rate of production is not high for this "
season of the year. Fresh offerings are
liberal from both domestic and Can-
adian mills. Demand is only fair, al-
though a little improvement has been
noted in the southwest. The linseed
meal market is not particularly brisk,
but taking the small cotton crop into
account, the total supply of high pro-
tein feeds is not excessive. Winter
weather is likely to bring some im-
provement in the demand so that the
entire feed market is probably on a

stable basis.
HAY

The hay market is a stereotyped
afiair, firmness ruling at most points
as a result of light receipts. Demand
is limited in most cases although a1-
falfa suitable for dairymen finds a
rather broad market.

BUTTER

Butter prices were unchanged last
week, although the undertone gradu-
ally weakened. Stocks moved slowly
as consumptive demand slowed down.
Production reports indicated a small
increase in the make, which will prob-
ably continue to grow larger from now
on. With the approaching holidays
consumptive demand is expected to
show greater activity and lower prices
are not generally anticipated. Arrivals
of foreign butter last week included
1,252 casks of Danish, 3,248 boxes of
Argentine, 500 boxes Irish, and 118,140
pounds of Canadian butter. Much of
this was offered at attractive prices
compared with domestic and, with the
exception of the best Danish, compet-
ed mainly with the medium grades of
domestic which were in liberal supply
and hard to move.

Prices for December were: Cream-
ery, 92-score, Chicago at 53%c; New
York 540. In Detroit fresh creamery
in tubs sell for 57c. .

POULTRY AND EGGS

Prices on fresh eggs declined four
to nine cents last week in one of the
sharpest breaks of the season. The
receipts were heavy and advices from
the country report increasingly heavy

production in many sections. Colder

weather late in the week strengthened
the market slightly and checked the
decline. Many dealers look for im-
proved prices. Prices of storage eggs
declined to the low point of the sea-
son as the movement out of storage
was slow andvreceipts of fresh eggs
were plentiful. The outlook for the
Christmas turkey shows no improve
ment. The supply is exceptionally
large, dealers are slow to take hold,
and in some sections prices are so low
that producers have refused to sell.

POTATOES

The potato markets were steady to
firm last week. Shipments from pro-
ducing sections showed a further fall-
ing off and have been light long
enough to afiect receipts at the lead—
ing cities. Northern round whites are
quoted at $1@1.10 per 100 pounds for
U. S. No. 1 sacked, and $1.30@1.40 in
bulk at Chicago. Maine, Idaho, Col-
orado, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mich-
igan are the leading shippers at the
present time and in the approximate

order given. -
APPLES

Carlot shipments of apples declined
slightly last week but are. considerably
above normal for this season of the
year. Prices were steady and the pre-
vailing level probably has fully dis-
counted the large crop. Shipments of
barrel apples have declined more
sharply from the high point in October
than have boxed apples. New York
Baldwins are quoted at $4 a barrel in
eastern cities and mid-western Jona-
thans at $5@5.50 in Chicago.

BEANS

‘ There is nothing new in the bean
trade, except that the receipts are on
a fairly sizable scale. Just now sales
are not large, but holders seem satis-
fied not to push matters, and prices,
as a result, are being maintained. In
New York, the best inquiry is for pea
beans and these are usually procur-
able at six cents per pound. Red and
white kidneys are held at recent pric-
es, but trading is sluggish.

WOOL

A steady demand for wool is report-
ed in seaboard markets. Manufactur-
ers wish to provide for their require-

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The encouraging symptoms shown
in the last two weeks include an in-
crease in buying of steel for forward
delivery and a reduction in excess pro-
duction of oil. Automobile companies
are enlarging their schedules for next
year, even though production of cars
and trucks in 1923 will reach 4,000,000
cars. Large sales of copper have been

 

made.

proaching inventory period while re-

tail buying is brisk because of holiday

trade. The drop shown in the last re-
port of car loadings was partly due to

a holiday and partly to a normal Sear

sonal tendency.

More fundamental signs as to the
character of 1924 are to be found. ‘One
of these is the ease in mono markets,
which is the basic factor.
dearth of money for sound borrowers,
and little danger of forced liquidation
as long as manufacturers avoid over-
production and the distributors fol-
low present policies of cautious buy—
ing. Foreign trade is swinging around

from an import balance in the early' '

months of 1923 to a substantial export
_balance. In November our exports
were the largest since February, 1921,
and foreign countries sent us over

$39,000,000 in gold, adding further to;

our already large reserves. Through-
out the past year, foreign ability to
take our goods has been far larger
than expected.

Assurance of good business prob—- 5."

tendencies will carry us, means con-

meats, dairy and poultry products and

choice vegetables and fruits,.wbich are -

in demand when pay rolls are fat. It

also means, however, that the products.

MENOMINEE LEADS.

MENOMINEE county farmers have
ordered 90, 000 pounds of sodatol
for' land- clearing operations this fall,
it is announced- Most of this will go
‘for stump- removal. Bankers of Me-
nominee county cooperated in purchas-
ing the explosive, which is said to be
the largest amount procured by any
Upper Peninsula county this fall. One
carioad each of sodatol has been or-
dered by Alger, Delta, Gogebic, School-
craft and Marquette county farmers,
it‘is reported. Other counties will
probably fall in line.

T0 GUARANTEE PRICES DISAS-
TROUS. ’

 

‘PEAKING on “some fundamentals
of cooperation,” Judge John D. Mil-

eral‘ive League Association, declared
that any attempt to guarantee prices
to farmers would result disastrously.
He maintained that any cooperative
association to efficiently operate must
be adequately financed; that no asso-
ciation should depend upon bank loans

loans should be invested in permanent
improvements.

“Arbitrary boosting of prices should
never be attempted. If any one fact
stands out. more than another.” he
said, “it is that arbitrary price-fixing
is fundamentally unsound.”

The benefits from cooperation are
derived from the fact that farmers can
retain control of their products until
they reach the primary markets where
prices are determined, not by local but
by world conditions.

.A deep sense of economy is about as
effective as “a still, small voice.”
