'“What We, Found”

—'-that the Oakland six—cylinder
engine is the sweetest—running and
the most capable engine in its class.
The reason for this—its advanced
design—is very evident when you
make close comparisons;

—that the True Blue . Oakland Six
is by far the best looking car within
our price range, Its Fisher bodies
certainly have a distinctive appear—
ance all their own; ' ‘

——that fourvwheel brakes, controls
on the steering wheel, autOmatic
s ark advance, and disc wheels
dgfinitely mark the Oakland as
a safer car to drive ;'

—-that Oakland uses a remarkable
new finish—Duco—which lasts in-
definitely, does not .mar or check
and can be cleaned easily, even
without the use of water;

-—-that Oakland’s new permanent
top insures smooth, tig‘ t fitting
curtains and, if we wis , a snug
Glass Enclosure, which for $60 extra
gives closed car comfort to any

Oakland Touring Car;
-—that, considering its advanced

pconstruction and many refinements,

the True Blue Oakland Six, at its
remarkably low price, is unquestion—
ably the car for us.

REVISE EXPORT BILL.

 

A REVISED edition of the McNary-

Hangen export corporation bill is
H. RR 8021, introduced ”by Congress-
man Thomas .L: Rube'y of Missouri.
The commission is eliminated and its
functions cOmbined with those of the
United States Agricultural Export
Corporation. The House committee
on Agriculture has already accepted
this provision, holding that. there is
no, need for two separate groups of
office holders. The scrip feature of the
McNary-Haugen bill is also eliminated.

The corporation is required to pub-
lish for each month Commencing after
the issuance of the proclamation de-
claring a special emergency in respect
to any basic commodity a price there-
for to be known as the ratio price,
Which shall bear the same relation to
the current all-commodities price in
effect for such month as the pre—war
basic-commodity price bears to the
pre-war all-commodities price.

The ratio price of any basic agricul-
tural commodity is to befinally deter-
mined by adding to the ratio price "a
sum equal to 10 per cent of such ration
price so calculated. Whenever the
ratio price is thus finally determined
the corporation shall publish the same
in the primary markets with the rela-
tive value of such finally determined
ratio price in each market.

more to do with toil and less With 7

TARIFF SCH EDULES.

 

HE next big fight which the farm-

ers of America will be called upon
to wage will be on the‘defensive—to
save whatever benefits they may be re-
ceiving'from the tariff on agricultural
products. There is much evidence ac-
cumplating, which shows that under
the McCumbenFordney tariff act of
1922 the farmers are receiving con-
siderable direct advantage in the tariff
on dairy products, potatoes, wool and
a few other farm products.

Indications are. unmistakably cer-
tain that the opponents of the tarifl
are laying plans for an organized as-
sault upon the agricultural schedules.
Propaganda is already being extensive
ly circulated, anned to lead the con—
sum'ers to believe that the tariff on
farm products is the cause of the pres-
ent high prices of clothing and food
products.

The statement issued some time ago
by the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion in Which an attempt was made to
prove that the tariff costs the farmer
more than he gets Out of it, is being
used as the basis of propaganda cir‘
culated among the farmers for the
purpose of weakening the support 0!
the farm organizations.

It is contended, however, by the
tariff advocates that if the farm or—
ganizations fail to defend the present
tariff they will find their farmer mem-
bers paying the tariff on the goods
they buy without any compensatory
tariff whatever on their own products.
It is also argued that without a tariff‘
the American farmers ‘Will fail utterly
because of their inability‘ to compete
with colie labor and European peasant
farming. ,The big fight this year’will
be to elect a Congress unfriendly to
the tariffon‘agricpltural products. ~

Erie/Hes this Handicapped Man in Succeed m the Bee Blames:
By C. E. Gunderson

P in Gogebic County,

12 years a helpless cripple with

arthrites rheumatism yet one of the

most courageous and resolute souls we
have known He is a bee enthusiast,
one who has worked wonders with
them in his garden, just two blocks
from the businessdistrict. In the early
days of his affliction, Mr. Geary be-
came a' diligent student of bees, chief-
ly as a pastime, when he hit upon the
idea, as his fund of knowledge .of bees
increased, -that he would engage in
bee culture. ,

At first he was greatly attracted .to
the bees because of their strange and
curious ways. It was‘ his custom to
while away many a happy hour watch-
ing these interesting creatures in their
methodical work,‘ but as time went on,
Mr. Geary conceived the idea of bee
keeping as a profitable and' interesting
side line—-profitable, at first, chiefly
from his many friends, as something
which he himself was producing,
which they ”did not have. And so, from
a small two-pounds package of bees
a few years ago, Mr. Geary’s apiary
has grown to 17 colonies at the present
writi’ng. His happiest moments are

' spent in the bee-yard out in God’s sun-
shine. He loves the hum of the bees
and they rarely‘sting him.

In 1922 he produced 1772 lbs.
honey from 12 colonies of bees. In
1923 he produced 2300 lbs. from 11
colonies, spring count. From the
strongest of the.1‘1 colonies, he made an
increase of 4 colonies before white clo-
ver heney flow. All of the honey wasof
excellent quality and sold at home for
good prices, quite a little of it in the
crystalized form, for which there is a.
greater demand each‘year. A Chicago
expert declared it the finest honey he
.ever tasted. ‘This was a blend of bass-
wood and clover. Mr. Geary’s'honey
is manufactured under the Cloverland
Brand, in his own home factory.

He now thinks he would have had a
much larger crop had he requeened all
the colonies the previous year.

Mr.’Geary raises his own queens. He

~ raised 32 beauties last season. And all
colonies went . into winter quarters

of

at Iron- _
wood, resides Maurice Geary for .

 

and ill,

.a

headed by vigorous young .queens, with
ample stores, mostly sugar syrup. He
finds that in this cold climate“ Where
the bees go sometimes for three
months without a flight, that they win-
ter best on sugar syrup. This year he
is trying out the automatic feeder on
five colonies. He is also trying out
cellar wintering on 3 colonies.

At thiswriting, his winter cases
are buried deep beneath the snow, and
the thermometer has registered as low
as 30 degrees below zero.

He is spending his winter at home
this year for the first time in many
years. Heretofore, he has gone to
Florida and has not seen his bees from
‘November till May, but he says he is
much happier at ’home' among his
friends. Aradio installed in his home,
keeps him in close touch with the
world. This spring he hopes to be on
the job early in April instead of May.

Last spring, Mr. Geary offered some
35 farm bo'ys an opportunity to learn
the bee business. Only 6 responded.
In July two more became interested
when the season was half over. One
of these, a boy of 13, produced 90 lbs.
of honey. This was more than Mr.
Geary got the first three years, when

 

 

on rage

he had none to coach him. He was
then the only bee-keeper in the county.

Not only did Mr. Gearyyteach these
boys the work, but gave each a three
frame nuclei to’take out on his farm.
A prize was offered to the one making
the best shewing, the honey produced
to be shared equally,- Mr Geary fur-
nishing everything to work with.

Leonard Uylund won first prize of
$10, producing 375 lbs. of honey. Her-
bert Strand, second prize, “A B C &
X Y Z in Bee Culture” donated by M.
H. Hunt &Son of Lansing, Michigan;
Oliver Illminen, 13 yrs, old. 3rd prize,
an Alexander Bee Veil.

One boy of 11, a real dyed~in~the-
wool bee enthusiast was turned down
because he was not strong enough to
lift a hive. But he’ll get his bees the
coming season, Mr. Geary having a
plan of manipulation especially for
him. This lad built a hive of his own
and caught every bee that came his
way regardless of its name or nation-
ality. \Ve are told it is a wonderful
collection.

Besides his bees Mr. Geary has
a large flOWer and vegetable garden,
which he shares with his friends

During the years that Mr. Geary has

and SkIll

 

had his bees, only once has he had a. *
man that had any previous knowledge I
of the work. Two of his men when
stung said they had been bitten. Three
of them, at first sight of the bees, said,
“Oh, my, what little fellows.” They ‘
had always thought that a bumble bee
was a honey bee.

Mr. Geary exemplifies his motto:
“Patience and Will, Courage and Skill
are the Four Leaves of Life’s Clover”
in many ways. It requires real cour-
age to make ten trips to the south-
land and back on a stretcher, especi-
ally when frequently he has faced the
necessity of making the trip with his
man who on occasions has been as
much a stranger to him as those
among whom he traveled. But his
skill in judging human nature has
enabled him to pick men that are Win- ‘
ners so he has been blessed with many
fine attendants. He speaks of them as
his sho€k absorbers. One of the out»,
standing characteristics of Maurice
Geary is his keen sense of humor,
which has helped him over many a.
sore situation. The merry twinkle in
his eye reveals the laughter of his
heart, even under the most trying cir-
cumstances. When something ludi—
crous occurs there is an immediate
response to it in Mr. Geary’s nature.
Here is an unusual man. From his
small beginning with bees he has
built up a successful back lot bee yard,
notwithstanding his inability to scarce-
ly move hand or foot. Bee literature
is read to him while he lies almost
motionless in bed, and his observations
are made from a wheel chair in the
bee-yard. ,

His suCCess is one of the outstanding
features in bee culture, and it is doubt-
ful whether any man or woman in the
world’s history has made such a re-
markable record, considering the ex-
ceedingly difficult handicaps under
which he has been compelled to work.
It also seems that he is not content
with his success alone, but is stimulat—
ing others to engage in this profitable
enterprise by his noble example, which
illustrates lhat ambition, will and de-
termination surmount all seemingly
impassable barriers.

Relief for Bill, Jack and J im

If Crop P/am are Out ofJoz'm‘, You Too, May Get Relief from t/ie Same Source

HREE situations which now con-

front many Michigan farmers

. will have to “be definitely met

within. the next few weeks. John

Brown, that well known old agricul-

turalist, seeded clover last spring but

the drought caught it, so John says.

—Anyway it looks as though the Brown

farm is going to be out of luck for
hay.

Bill Smith, of equal fame, went in on
the wave of a great bean acreage last
year. But being outside the real bean
districts of the State Bill’s yield wasn’t
anything to grow chesty over, and be-
sides, the wet‘ weather gave his beans
. a pretty high pick. Then the great
production of 1923' with a probable
large carry over hasn’ t left beans any
too high priced.

plain up against it getting his start
and trying to figure what crops he can
put in that really hold some promise
for harvest time. Sugar beets are
good but Jim doesn’t live in sugar beet
territory. Alfalfa’s beSt of all but his
15 acre field of Grimm that he is seed-
ing this spring won’t be ready till
next year. Oats and barley? Yes,
better than wheat and heds putting in
some, but there is still that 12-acre

lot on the back forty that is adding

on just as much overhead as the rest
of the farm. All three of the neigh-
bors are in something of a pinch.
Well, what. is there to relieve the ten-
sion?

A. G. Wilson of Mason, Michigan,
says soy beans. He is going to put

 

Rather .

in twenty acres of them this spring.
Not a bad answer either based on Mr.
\Vilson’s experience of 1923 . He had
only three acres last year but they
yielded 26 bushels to the acre and
qualified as registered seed when they
were inspected by the Michigan Crop
Improvement Association. Harry Oven
at Ovid, Keith Brothers at Sawyer, W.
O. Skiver of'Cedar Run in Benzie‘
County, and Erwin Krauss at Sebe-
waing, are growers from widely scat-
tered sections of Michigan who are
united in their enthusiasm for soy
beans. These men have been growing
the Manchu variety for seed under the
inspection of the Michigan Crop Im-
provment Association and are finding
a yearly demand at attractive prices.

A yield of from 12 to 20 bushels can
be expected as an average, with 25 to
30 bushel yields frequently reported
under more favorable Michigan con-
ditions. A lS-bushel crop at M per
bushel, a fair farm price in the fall, is
worth $111.68 more than, the average
acre of wheat, $16.24 more than the
average acre of oats, $3.09 more than
the average acre of corn and is ex-
ceeded in acre value only by potatoes,
beans and sugar beets, the figures for
these crops being taken from the 1923
crop report. A

It looks as though Bill Smith and
Jimmie Green have one answer to their
problems.

Now, how about John Brown with
his prospective empty hay mows? The
Michigan Experiment Station can an- .,
swer that pretty effectively. In tests '

of the plant itself. Alfalfa is reputed
to be one of the hardiest of our farm
crop plants and so it is when once
established. But there is a time when
it is a very delicate seedling, requir-
ing all the nursing that it is possible .,
to give it. It is particularly suscept-.
ible ,to' crowding by weeds‘ that may
have started ahead of the alfalfa seed—
ling.

This then indicates one requirement,
that is, that all fowl weeds be well sub-
dued before seeding. It doesn’t mean
,that alfalfa has to be seeded on weed
free ground. But rather, that the seed
bed be prepared in such a. way that
the alfalfa will get started ahead of
the weeds and when once it gets the
start it will have no difficulty in main-
taining the lead providing the other
”growing requirements of the crop have
been met.

Have the Water Handy.

It is also susceptible to drough in
this seedling stage and so the seed bed
must be prepared with the intention
of keeping available a supply of mois-
ture. Which can only be done by con-
serving the soil moisture as rains and
showers are to uncertain to depend on.
The humus content of the particular
scil in question will quite”largely deter-
mine this last requirement.

The heavy clay loams and clay soils
are usually so well supplied with or-
ganic matter that most any. kind of
a seed bed that includes thorough
firming will have sufficient moisture
to secure good results with the alfalfa
seeding. The sandy loam's and sandy
soils are usually 0 .low in organic
matter that it is necessary 'to com
serve a goodly portion of a seaSOn’s
supply of moisture and so summer fal-
lowing has been found the most reli-
able seed bed under light soil condi-
tions. ,

‘ the kind. of‘soil envolved will quite

where from a loam to a heaVy slay,
the best method of seeding the alfalfa
is, to put it, in with. the grain crop

tion ~that‘this grain crop will act' as

is strong enough to support both a
grain'crqp and .the alfalfa seeding. -

Two. things are gained where this
method of. seeding is practical. First,
that some income is derived from the
field that year and, second, that the
grain crop will take the place of what
might otherwise be weeds. The dan-
gers of this method of seeding is. that.

or soils low in fertility are not willing
to admit it and try to grow both a
grain—crop and a seeding. The result
is inevitable that the alfalfa seeding
burns up where the grain is harvested
and then the weather catches it as
being to blame for the failure of the?

 

seeding, The facts are that the grow-
er’s judgment was at fault in over—
taxing the land.

Choosing a Companion Crop.

If the conditions ‘are right to seed
with a companion crop what one is
best? Barley is probably the best
companion crop among the cereals
while canning peas is probably the
best among the miscellaneous crops.
VVh'eat is an excellent companion crop
for alfalfa if the seed is put on early
in the spring either with clover seed
drill or else broadcasted and harrowed
in. It is not a good practice to seed
on top of the ground and trust to the
weather to cover it. Many growers
have done this successfully but many
others have failed because of that
practice. The oat crop is a good one
to seed with when grown on heavy
land and when a variety is used that
will not lodge badly and thus smother
out the young seedlings.

Where Soils Are Light.

Seeding along on summer fallow is

the best method where the soils tend
to be light and on the medium heavy
soils where the fertility has been ex—
cessively run. The best time to seed
on summer fallow will vary with parti—
cular fields and also with different sea-
sons. In general it' work has been
started on the fallow early enough so
that a firm well compacted seed bed
well stored with soil moisture is avail-

To PREVENT FARM CHILDREN
FROM WORKING.

 

xHE child labor bill, H. R. 174, has

been reported out by the House
Judiciary committee. This bill pro-
vides for a constitutional amendment
to be referred to the states, giving
Congress authority to legislate on the
employment of children.
ganization have Opposed this proposed
amendment to the Constitution on the
grounds that it will compel the farm-
ers to fight continuously to keep the
faddists from inducing Congress to
enact legislation making it a crime to
permit children under the age of six-
teen or eighteen years of age perform-
111g any manual labor whatever on the
farms, As city children are nearly
all denied the privilege Of working it
is believed that the prevention of farm
children working is the ultimate aim
of this bill. .

CONDITIONS IN NEw YORK STATE.

 

‘ O
N his report on New York state
conditions, Dr. Warren Of the State
Agricultural College, says that the gen-
eral situation is not greatly different
from what‘it was last year. Most
farmers made mOderate incomes in

1923, and taxes and expenses were-,

heavy; Farmers, however, have been
more careful in their purchases and
in expenses, and in many instances
have paid Off part of their debts.’
Many farmers are discouraged and
would like to quit, but there are few
purchasers for farms. -
The decline in farm population dur-

. ing 1923 is estimated by Dr. Warren at

three percent. This is partly due to
reduction in number of hired men,
partly to young men and womenleav-
ing the farms for other emplOyment.

The .number of persons living on
farms in Newr York state in. January,
1917, was 898,000; in January, 1920,
U." S. census figures, 800,000, and in
January, 1924, Only 741,000 out of a
total population in the state of 10,-
385,227 in 1920. ‘

The sales of standard agricultural
implements, such as mowers, binders
and rakes, .during 1923, were about 30
per cent below the pre—war average.
But the sales Of 'newer lines, such as
tractors and milking machines, were
much above pre-war. Machinery deal-
ers are expecting sales in 1924 to ex-
ceed those of 1923.

The acreage of wheat and rye is

‘ (uievel ai'e potatoes, corn,'_ wheat. ham. A larger acreage of- potatoos is on
in Western New York fruit growers ‘

are discouraged. on account Of low
prices and large stocks Of apples in
storage, but the outlook is fair for an
average crop of fruit except raspber-

ries which have been severely affected

by diseases.

An increase in hogs in New York

, is due to the? fact that farmers are
raising a larger proportion of the-food

consumed on the farm. They are also .

slaughtering mdre beef animals for
home use. ~

Also there was apetition circulated

is caving in (began to do so as soon
as dug.) This was an expensive drain
and there is talk of adding more ex~

GROWING SWEET POTATOES.

 

How does one start sweet potatoes
and how secure the plants?~—-C. .K.

Sweet potato plants can be pur-
chased from most any seed house.
Sweet potatoes or sprouts are ordin—
arily sold at approximately 75c per
100 or $6 per 1,000.

In case you expect to plant a rela-
tively large acreage to sweet potatoes,
I would recommend that you buy the
potato sprout from some growers who
specialize in these plants.

Sweet potato sprouts can be grown
by putting the potatoes in a hot bed
about 6 weeks or so before the time
of planting in the spring. Potato

. plants must not be put out in the open

until all danger Of frost is past. One
bushel Of medium sized potatoes will
make approximately 2,000 to 2,500
plants. In the hot bed"you should
use fresh stable manure so as ,to main-
tain sufficient heat, the manure should
be‘ covered with about 2 inches or so
of fine sandy Loam.

The potatoes'V should be placed on

top of the loam by hand, taking care

to place the potatoes so they cannot
touch one another. The potatoes
shouldnot be out except perhaps a
fewof the very large ones can be split
lengthwise laying the cut surface
against the soil. After the potatoes
are placed, cover them with 2%; to 3
inches Of fine sandy loam soil. Take
care there are no coarse lumps in it.
The soil should be firmed over the
potatoes and then should be well
watered. The sash 011 the hotbed
should be put down and a temperature
for the first few days Of 85 degrees
or so should be maintained. The tem-
perature can gradually be reduced if
the sprouts are well watered.

Before setting the plants in the-field
they should be well hardened. On warm
days the sash should be removed from
the hotbed. Two or three drawings
Of the sprouts can be’made. After
every drawing is made the bed should
be well firmed and thoroughly wat-
ered.

Care must be taken in watering and‘

ventilating the hot bed so that the
plants maintain steady growth—H. C.
Moore.

BEET GROWERS DISCUSS
I PROBLEMS.

 

 

ORE than £50 sugar beet growers i

of Saginaw Valley met Saturday
at the town hall at Merrill to hear a
discussion of the problems facing the»

. sugar beet growers. T. C. Price and

A. B. Love, county agriculturist, were
the chief speakers on the program.

Both these speakers explained the -

methods by Which growers might or-
ganize more effectively for group bar-
gaining as to sugar beet contracts.
The farmers were told what the Mich-
igan Sugar Beet growers’ association
is doing to band the sugar'beet grow-
ers of the state together into a strong
organization. Mr. Love' explained how
through proper organization along the
lines adopted by other co-operative
marketing associations, their ends
might be gained.~—Mills.

FEEDING THE SUGAR BEET.

 

P LANT food can be supplied to the

sugar beet in two form—manure
and commercial fertilizers. Manure,
when applied fresh in the spring
causes short, prongy, low-yielding
beets. Manure often carries weed Seeds
that greatly increase the subsequent
labor necessary to keep the crop
clean.

A mistake commonly made is to use
fertilizer'of too low an analysis or
two small an amount per acre. In the
majority of instances, the most profit-
able rate of application will lie be-
tween 200 and 600 pounds per acre.

If the beet- drill has a fertilizer at-
tachment, a part of the fertilizer, not
to exceed 200 pounds per acre, may be
applied through the attachment. The
remainder should be broadcast by
means of a fertilizer, grain drill or
fertilizer distributor, and harrowed or
disced in before planting. When beet
seed is sown with a grain drill, leav-
ing every third hole open for the seed,
all of the fertilizer holes may be left
open.‘ Some growers prefer to broad-
cast all of the fertilizer, which is a
good practice when 600 to 800 pounds
are used to the acre. Such an applica-
tion should be made just before the

last harrowing so that the fertilizer A

canbe worked thoroughly into the soil.

Insulated Aamst Rust

The more zinc on the wire, the longer the wire fence will last.

Wires used in Zinc Insulated Fences receive
more than DOUBLEthe usual heat treatment
in the zinc bath—the proper and Only way to
give a heavier coating of galvanizing with
lasting quality.

This better process not only applies more
zinc to the wire, but makes the coating uniform
and inseparably a part of the steel. It insulates
the wire with more zinc and with no cracking,
flaking or peeling off.

All the following brands of Farm Fence

AMERICAN, ANTHONY,
ROYAL, NATIONAL,
ULLWOOD, U. 5.

Are now Zinc Insulated-exit No Extra
Charge.

 

We make only one grade of fence, every
brand Zinc Insulated—and sell it at no
higher price. Think of itl--fence that will
outlast any fence you have used before—yet
costs no more than ordinary grades of farm
fence. Only our quantity production, vast
resources and equipment make this offer
possible.

: T HE grower, county buyer and nib
road Teoeiw 50 per cent and 111s

city distributor 50 percent or the retail

price at potatoes, according ‘to an
analysis of the rmll price of potatoes
, grown in Maine, Minnesota, VVlsconxln
rand Michigan last year, made by the

.; United Stat-es Department of Agricul-

, cure.

.In arriving- at these figures the in-
; vestigators recognized that certain
, services must be performed by those
. handling potatoes in their way from
grower to consumer, including assemb-
. ling, warehousing, shipping, and pro-
. testing, by the county buyer; assemb-
ling "at terminal markets, sorting and
' distributing to the retailer, by the
jobber,
foods, grading, and distributing to the
consumer by the retailer.

In addition to planting, cultivating,
and harvesting the crop, the growers
1 performed several-’marketing services,
. such as grading, hauling, and storage,
which is especially important with

services of production and marketing
requires that the farmers provide or
expend money for labor, care and
maintenence of buildings and opera-
tionrof equipment, interest on invest-
’ ment or rent, taxes, and fertilizer.’

It was found that the growers re-
ceived from 20.5 per cent in Minnesota
to 30.8 per cent in Maine, of the con-
sumer’s dollar. The Wisconsin and

Relief for Bill,

conducted over a three-year period,
soy beans yielded 2.67 tons of air—dry
hay per acre. It exceeded in yield
those other emergency hay crops, Hun-
garian and common millet, oats and
vetch, oats and peas, and oats alone,
but was itself outyielded by Sudan
grass, Golden Millet and Barnyard Mil-
let. ‘

Average yield of air dry hay se-
cured per acre for 1919, 1920 and 1921
at the Michigan Agricultural Experi-
ment Statl'on Farm, East Lansing as
reported in the Agricultural College
quarterly are:

Crop Average Yield.
Sudan 3.33
Golden Millet ' ' 3.25
Japanese Barnyard Millet or Bil-

lion Dollar Grass 3.22
Soybeans 2.67
Hungarian Millet 2.48
Common Millet 1.94
Oats and Vetch 1.99
-Oats and Peas 1.78
Oats Alone 1.77

While the yield of hay has not been,
quite so high with soy beans as with
Sudan Grass and a couple of the mil-
lets, its feeding value per acre is much
higher. It is a protein feed compar-

gestible crude pxotein as compaied to
8 3% for oats and pea hay and 4. 8%
for golden millet.

Soy beans being leguminous are of
value as a soil building crop too. The
roots of plants grown from inoculated
seed are characterized by large nodu-
lbs of nitrogen fixing bacteria. The
culture for inoculation can be obtained
from the Department of Bacteriology
of the Michigan Agricultural College.
The crop is best when planted at or
just after corn planting. It is not con—

.sidered sensitive to a lack of lime and

good yields may be secured on land
too sour to grow red clover or alfalfa
until such time as the better farm
practice of liming and growing the al-
falfa. can be followed.

On fields that are clean the soy
beans may be: sown with a grain drill,
all holes open, at the rate of fiv'e to

. seven peeks per acre. This makes pos-

sible a finer quality of hay.

The portion” by .

ed, sacked or weighed until just before

often necessitates weighing and grad-

Freight charges range fro-10.4 per

using two to three pecks of seed per
acre.

In tests at thengchigan Experiment
Station the Manchu variety has proven
most dependable both fdr forage and
seed. Over-state tests have also fav-
oredthe Manchu for seed, but for for»
age it has had a. keen competitor in'
the Wilson variety of soys, a variety
too late for seed production in this
State.

For hay the soy bean crop is cut
when the pods have nicely formed but
before the leaves start to turn yellow
and drop off. The hay is best cured
in small cocks where about a week
of good drying weather is required to
cure it.

For seed either the mowing machine
or hinder can be used to cut the crop
when a. majority of the pods have
reached maturity.

Pure secd‘of varieties like the Man«
chu and Ito San, thorough cultural
practices, the use of acid phosphate,
and a careful handling of the crop for
either seed or hay, will insure yields
of soy beans in Michigan that are a
positive answer to the questions puz«
zllng the John Browns, Bill Smiths,
and Jimmie Green of this State. While

the crop will not replace alfalfa for

forage and possibly will not become
prominent for its grain, yet in the
emergency soy beans fill the bill.

PRAISES TH E POTATO.

 

ECONSIDER the lowly spud. Po

tatoes are as important as coal
in the maintenance of industrial civil-
ization, says the April issue" of the
American Medical Association’s Magi—
zine.

When large populations are crowded
in small areas, wage and other living
conditions make the general consump-
tion of meat impossible. In such in-
stances the potato is a genuine god-
send, states the author of this article.
This starchy vegetable classes with
the cereals as a. food for energy pro‘
duction, and it possesses in addition
the necessary vitimines.

There is little demand for farm labor
this spring the farmers being inclined
to economize .in man labor by a'ilarger
use of labor saving machinery.

pint to 50 bushels of grain. For small-
enamounts of grain use correspond-
ingly smaller amounts of formalde-
hyde. It is unnecessary and unsafe to
use mere formaldehyde than the
amount‘recommended.’ Put the right
amount of fresh formaldehyde just 'as
it comes from the druggist, into a pint
or quart hand sprayer or atomizer, di-
lute from 4 to 10 times, then spray
the grain as it is shoveled over and
over. If the sprayer is kept close to
the grain and if the treatment is given
in a room where there is a good draft,
the penetrating odor of the formalde—
hyde will give no* discomfort.

When the right amount of formalde-
hyde has been applied, shovel the oats

hours, with a canvas or blanket. The
grain should then be spread out thin-
ly for a thorough airing in a warm
place. Rake the grain over during
this airing, then plant at once.

IFTY~THREE farmers from 21

Pennsylvania counties have been
awarded life. membership in the “400-
Bushel Potato” Club of that State, as
recognition of their achievement in
growing 400 or more bushels of pota-
toes on a measured acre‘of land. The
53 men made a combined average acre
yield of 44 bushels, the ten highest
averaging just 56 bushels more, 500
bushels per acre. '

Jacob S. Wile, Souderton, won the
highest ranking, with a yield of 532.4
bushels on one acre. This acre was
part of a 5.9 acre piece on which Mr.
Wile grew 2,630. bushels of potatoes,
an average of 445.8 bushels. Michigan
Russets were used as seed on this
piece—a good clover sod, well man-
ured the previous fall. About 1,200
pounds per acre of fertilizer were ap-
plied and the land was thoroughly
plowed and disced. The crop was cul-
tivated three times before and four
times after it came up. It was sprayed
nine times. '

. STRAW vote, if taken over a ser-
ies of years, would undoubtedly
indicate that Fire Blight is the most
baffling problem with which apple and
pear growers of Michigan have to cope.
Certain Peculiarities of the Situation.
Fire blight of apple, pear, etc, has
its off and on years and. therefore the
interest of growers fluctuates accord~
ingly. Likewise, varieties often differ
each year in the amount of injury that
Will result from blight.

The writer, in company with several
attempted to find. a
single orchard that had received dur-
ing 1922 or any previous year, a com-
plete blight control program. None
were found, although there may be
orchards in the state that have re-
ceived such a “clean up.”

Nearly every owner of blighted trees
has performed some removal of blight-
ed tissue but the recommendation of
the pathologists of this state have not
been correctly interpreted. For
example, Dr. Coons of the M. A. C.
Botany Department, has consistently

. urged, the removal of blighted twigs

during early summer in order to catch
the first phase of blight and thereby
prevent or reduce later “outbreaks”
so common in July and August. Grow
ers, however, have usually awaited the
full showing up of blight ,before they
began to “summer cut” and often by
that time blight has run its course for
that season and it‘ is often a waste of
time and money to cut blight late
under our conditions. .

can sometimes cultivate a little patch
while you would ‘be hitching up the
horse. Shaving the wheel hoe in heavy
soil is a man-size job mover if it is
donor-or ‘long“periods at a time. »
.A good mouse—proof and rat-proof
seed storage box can be made of a
wooden packing case with quarter-inch
mesh hardware cloth tacked on the
outside. The b'cttom of the box can be
knocked. off and co tered with the
wire cloth to fu sh ventilation.
A small cleat nailed'on each end of
the bottom will raise the box from “the
shelf where it stands and permit the
the air toenter. The cover can be
made of wire nailed on cleats. Such
.a box will last for life and may save ,a
lot of garden seedrfrom being chewed
up by mice.

One reason for occasional failures
of home-grown garden seed results
from eating all the (good specimens
in the row and then gathering seed
from a few plants that were too poor
to use for food. If you seed it pays to
pick out a few of the best plants in the
row while they are growing vigorously.
A small stick pushed down beside the
plant will indicate that it is being
saved for seed.

If you wish to raise nice flowers,
plant a few rows in the richest of the
garden soil where they can ‘be thin-
ned and cultivated just like vegetables.
Then they thrive much better than
flower gardens crowded into fence cor-
ners where the soil often bakes hard
and fertility may be low.

Our Chinese cabbage row was a.
great succcs again last year. The large
white heads furnished a fine salad
plant all summer. During dry weather
the row ‘furnished a. lot of succulent
green leaves for the poultry flocks. I
think Chinese cabbage should be tried
on rich moist soil for the best results.

The Blight Situation ‘

Cardinal!

a “canker clean-up” the first week of
December, 1923. A similar school was
held in Van Buren County and one will
be conducted in Allegan County in the
early spring. These orchards will be
plotted and each tree numbered so
that a statistical study may be made
at any time.
Spring and Summer Plans.

These three orchards will be
watched carefully during early sum-
mer months and by means of insect
control and early summer removal of.
blighted twigs it is hoped that a
marked reduction in blight may be
noted the first year. These orchards
will be handled under these proce-
dures until a severe blight year is en-
countered in those counties before ex-
tensive demonstrations are conducted
over the state.

Outlook and Interest. .

The growers have followed their re~
quests for help by showing active in-
terest and attending the schools held
for that purpose. Furthermore, as a.
result of the blight cutting demonstra-
tion in the spring of 1923, several grow
ers cut out cankers and twigs during
the year. We have examined these or-
chards and are encouraged by the
small amount of infection that fol-
lowed as compared with previous
years of equal severity but when no
blight cutting was done except late
in the summer when the bacteria had
reached the peak of development.

From these continuing demonstra;
tions, assuming that results justify,
the interest will grow around these
“practical demonstrations” and only as
adjoining orchards are freed of blight
tin concentric :eimfles around these er-
chords Will large scale resales appear.

will be softer than it should be so that
instead or being hard and good keep-
ers, it will be as easily carved as a
pumpkin. In'smaller seeds I find it
quite different, such as cauliflower and
cabbage seeds; they can be planted in
one garden bed or small patch. Going
back to the pumpkin and squash, the
pumpkin is very apt to be neither one
thing nor another; it is neither squash
nor pumpkin.

I couldn’t‘help but notice Lewis was
trying to slap Z. S. back for his con-
tradictiveness, so I am contriving to
turn the argument into a. little polly
scrap. It takes lots of» hard work and
experience, instead of books, to prove

MELONS AND CUKES.

 

WHILE I have no intention of dis—
puting the assertion made by E
P. Lewis in a recent number of the
Michigan Farmer that melons, squa-
shes, pumpkins and other members of
the Cucurbitaceae family will not
cross, for he undoubtably has scienti-
fic knowledge with which to back up
his statment,’ a somewhat mysterious
incident occured in my gardening ev-
perience a few years ago.

I remember it was a common belief

that melons would cross with pump-
kins and cucumbers. While my father
planted melons and cucumbers in the
same garden, he separated them as
widely as the limits of the garden
would permit. Sometimes our melons
were good, sometimes worthless. This
might have been occasioned, as Mr.
Lewis says, by insects, diseases or to
climatic conditions. I know that a.
year ago last summer I never had bet-
ter melons in my life, while last sum-
mer with the same arrangement of.
vine crops, my melons were tasteless...

The incident, however, that mystified
me happened a .few years ago. I
planted a hill of cucumbers right be-
side a. hill of hubbard squash. The
vines entwining as they grew to matur-
ity. The majority of cucumbers that
grew upon that vine were shaped iden-
tically like a hubbard squash. Small
neck and protuberant body. Now I am
not claiming that the singular parallel—
ism' of formation displayed in the eu-
cumber towards its larger and prob-
ably more thrifty neighbor, the squash,
was caused by cross pollenizing, but
nevertheless I have been unable to se-
cure a satisfactory explanation from
any other angle. I shall make a simi-
lar experiment the coming summer:—

MICHIGAN POTATO PRODUCERS
TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING.

 

HE annual meeting of the Michi-

gan Potato Producers’ Association
will be held April 22nd and 23rd at
Traverse City. This is the first time
that the annual meeting has been held
in the northern section of the state
and it is believed that the attendance
will be large since Traverse City can
be conveniently reached by the major-
ity of the members. Heretofore the
annual meeting has been held at East
Lansing.

A good educational program empha-
lsizing the best practices in Certified
.Seed Production and in the economi-
‘cal growing of high quality market
potatoes 'will be featured. Consider-
able stress will be placed on standard-
ization, grading and marketing. Sev-
eral of the leading growers of the
state as well as one or two out of
state specialists will discuss the sub-

 

 

angles. It is hoped that potato grow-
' ers will make a special effort to attend
the meetings.

In connection there will be staged
complete educational exhibits illustrat-
ing grading, standization, seed selec-
tion, potato diseases, storage house
construction, etc The State Depart-
ment of Agriculture, the Michigan Po-
tato Growers’ Exchange and the Mich—
igan Agricultural College will co—oper—_
ate with the Michigan Potato Preda-
cers’ Association in making the meet-
ings a success.

On the night of April 22nd a banquet
will be held and good eats and a good
time are assured. The business session
and the election of oflicers will be held
on Wednesday, April 23rd. Programme.

. T HE community which produces at

a loiver cost than others selling- in

the same market, win be the most ‘

prosperous“ Individuals who produce

. for less than their neighbors can have ;
~ better houses and barns, more home

conveniences. longer vacations and
give their children better educations.

.As long as we are under our present
competitive system,

the greatest re-
wards are going to those who produce
good products at the lowest prices. .

Milk productibn Costs depend partly

' upon‘ the price of feed. Through prop-

er cooperation these costs can be re-

' duced. The cost of supplies necessary _

for the production of all farm products
influence the final cost of the finished
product Profits can be just as effec-
tively increaSed by reducing costs is
by increasing price _
Cost per unit depends upon expense
and yield. In order to get low unit

costs, expenses should be kept as .low‘

as possible and the highest possible
yields secured. The lower the costs,
the higher the profits—other things
being equal.

This does not mean that production
should be increased without thought
of the needs of the market. Produc-
tion should be guided in accordance to
marketpdemands—no more should be
prbduced than can be profitably sold.
The quantity needed should be pro-
duced at the lowest possible cost. It
is the height of folly to attempt to
improve marketing conditions and
bring prosperity to agriculture if no
attention is to be given the problems
of production. Those agencies which
aid the farmer in producing good
quality products at a low cost are
making a return of profits possible.

To illustrate this point, reference is
made to the condition of the market
for Michigan potatoes. On March 18th,
Michigan potatoes sold in the Pitts-
burg market for $2.00 a bag. New
York and Pennsylvania potatoes sold
on the same day for $2.50 a. bag. The
reason for the difference in these
prices is the inferior quality -of pota-
toes from Michigan. The trade in
Pittsburg won’t pay such a high price
for Michigan potatOes—not because
they are from this state but because
the quality is not good. What is need-
ed to improve this market and return
the growers of potatoes more money
is better quality potatoes. Better
quality potatoes can be secured only
through better productive practices.
So in order to improve marketing con-
ditions throught must be given to pro-
duction, and the man who can'render
the greater service along this line is
the production specialist. The man
.who criticizes such a policy of better
and cheaper productive methods does
not know about the factors which
make price.

The farmer who is successful and
far seeing is looking for better pro—
ductive methods. He is striving to se-
cure better yields at lower costs. His
aim is the best quality at the lowest
possible ’cost per unit. With a good
quality product he goes into the mar-
ket with an advantage over the pro-
ducer of poor quality produce. With
low costs he goes into a market bet-
ter able to take a lower price if com-
petition forces him.

Agriculture is conducted on a small
scale as a general rule. The small
farmer cannot secure the services of
specialists in production as can the
large manufacturer. Agriculture is
conducted on such a small scale by so
many different managers that it is im-
possible to secure these productive-

3improvement services individually. 'l_‘o
_ over’come the handicaps of small scale
'operation and small individual produc-

tion, farmers have turned to coopera-

productive problems.

Most farmers are familiar with these

The main'purpose of, such an associa-

tion is to eliminate from the herd the ..

cows which cost more than their milk
will sell foi‘i' Such cows are worse
than no cows at all for they eat up the
, profit which good cows yield. These
testing associations have done much to
decrease the cost of producing milk.
The farmers who test their cows regu-
larly and eliminate all the unprofit-
ableonesare the farmers who are get—
ting ahead. The small farmer as a
rule cannot have his cows tested un-
less he ‘joins with his neighbors and
has it» done on a cooperative basis.

Cooperative bull and other pure—bred
sire associations are types of produc-
ers’ cooperative associations which
brings to the small farmer benefits of
which he would otherwise be deprived.
Poultry associations result in better
poultry with higher egg records. De-
creased costs and better products are
the” result of better livestock and bet-
ter handling; feeding and other pro-
ductive methods. In many instances
where the expense is to'great for the
individual to bear these benefits can
be secured by cooperative action.

Community threshing and silo-filling
is a type of producers’» cooperation
which is practiced because it brings
economy. There are many productive
problems such as the control of insect
pests and animal disease which could
not be successfully met at all except
through cooperative action.

 

These productive cooperative enter-

prises are the ones which are bringing

real results to farmers. They are the
ones which should receive more atten-
tion and consideration for they arel

farmers. The marketing associations ‘
have done much work along the line 5
of quality improvement. Marketing:1
associations such 'as the California‘
Fruit Growers’ Exchange, and the
Eastern Shore of Virginia Produce Ex-
change have organized the necessity"
for good quality produce. The success-
ful marketing associations insist that
only quality produce be sent to mar—
ket and that it be properly prepared.
Experience in the field of marketing
has taught these organizations that
good quality produce is essential to
proper marketing.

If produce is to be marketed cooper-
atively every member of the organiza-
tion is vitally interested in the quality
of produce grown by every other mem-
ber. The result is that certain pro-
ductive operations must be carried on
in a cooperative manner.

In this series of articles, the differ—
ent types of cooperation have been
dealt with separately. It is very diffi-
cult, however, to draw the line defin-
itely between cooperative production
and cooperative marketing. The things

peridd have such an influence on the
quality of the produce. The quality
of the produce is one of the controlling
price factors

Satisfactory marketing conditions
will never be attained until there is
the production of quality products at

with quality produce. It is impossible
to separate production and marketing.
They are merely different stages of
the same process. '

wJLL BUILD A MILLION-Poona
. CREAMERY. .. ‘

 

ONE hundred anQ forty farmers of

‘ southern Ontonagon County have;
" decided to erect this year a 1,000, 000

pound, per year creamery at Bruce’s

_ Crossing on the South Shore Railroad.

Each farmer, it is stated, has pledged
to take at least one fifty dollar share
of stock in the creamery. The total
subscriptions sought is $10, 000, which,
it was anticipated, would be forth-
coming by April5

The new concern will be known as
the ”Ontonagon Valley 00- operative
Creamery Association." Seven direc-
tors chosen by the stockholders will
control the business of- the associatiom
These directors are to be distributed

LAND VALUES IN CLOVERLAND.

 

HE Department of Agriculture’s

crop report for Michigan _ for
March shows the average value of
good plow-lands in the Upper Penin-
sula to be $46 per acre and of poor
plow-lands to be $22 per acre. The
average value per acre of all rfarm
lands with improvements is' given as
$63 per, acre and without improve-
ments $36 per acre, It is well 'known
that agricultural lands. usually run
lower in price in this territory al-
though their productiveness‘ may ‘be
equal to that of farms farther south.

SHOWS DEVELOPMENT IN DAIRY
BUSINESS.

 

OWARD E. NADEAU, a Menom— '

inee Banker, recently gave an
account of the agricultural advance in
Cloverland. According to Mr. Nadeau,
it was the impetus given by county
fairs and agricultural college insti-
tutes that started the better dairy
movement in this section about a.
quarter of a century ago.

The first Oiganization, he says, with
a. plan for the importation and bieed-
ing of better dairy animals was the
Menominee County Dairy Stock Asso-v
ciation formed in 1914. The plan fol-
lowed by ‘this association resembles
the “Ashland Plan.”

Thirty or forty business men signed
a guarantee under which the purchase
of high-grade and registered dairy
animals was financed. The plan was
executed by a board of five directors
which passed on the application for
credits on the part of purchasers. The
county agricultural agent made the
purchases and” the local banks took
over the notes given by the purchasers
to the association.‘

During the ensuing seven years
many carloads of cattle were brought
into Menominee County through this
agency until unfavorable market
prices caused a cessation of activity.
All notes were paid in full by the bor-
rowers without the guarantors having
to pay a cent, says the banker: Now
that prices are more normal revived
interest’in such a co-operative plan of
financing dairying is manifest.

ROAD PROGRAM PLANNED.

 

T the recent meeting of Upper

Peninsula road-builders held at
Menominee, State Highway Commisr
sioner Rogers stated that the Upper
Peninsula had received better than
one-sixth of the proceeds of the state
bond issues for road work.
The biggest trunk-line job under-
taken last' season was in the Upper

‘ boss for

   

Peninsula, said Mr. Rogers.

‘Mackinac County which hitherto has
" interfered with entrance into the pen-
insula from below the Straits, and
which is now under ire-building opera-‘
tions. . 1
Mr. Rogers also called attention to
the purchase of automobile ferries for
the Straits of Mackinac Which will
greatly facilitiate traffic between the
peninsulaS' He predicted that the ser-
vice during the coming season will be
eight times as efficient as last year.
Hereafter, state Construction ’work
swill be under the direction of the
county engineering forces, with four
supervising state engineers to see
that state requirements and policies
are adhered to, it was announced.
Among the new projects that will be
carried forward, this season, 'is the
new concrete road connecting Mar-
quette, Ishpeming and Negaunee, and
the Baraga Trunkline which will af-
ford a second route from the Mar-
quette district to the Copper Country,
a portion of which will pass through
virgin country rich in scenic interest.

.CAPERS OF THE WEATHER.

 

URING the month of February the

temperature in the Upper Penin-
sula‘_ave1‘aged 4.3 degrees above the
normal according to the monthly re-
view of weather conditions recently
given out by the Lansing office of the
United States Weather Bureau. The
highest temperatme occurred at Belg‘
land and Marquette on February 26,
being 52 degiees.

On the othei hand Humboldt showed
35 below zero on February 23. Hum-
boldt, be it noted plays somewhat the
same role as Medicine Hat in the low
temperature sale. It is an interiOr
point of sparse population. In compar-
ing the state’s record for precipitation,
it is somewhat curious to note that

Eagle Harbor on the Keweenaw Pen«‘

insula showed the lowest precipitation,
amounting only to .53 of an inch. This
shore line is usually superabundantly
supplied with snow at this season.

WILL TRY STATE PLAN.

 

OUGHTON COUNTY sportsmen

have asked the appointment of
game wardens by the county board of
supervisors, believing that the work of
the state wardens was inadequate.
But at the March meeting of the
board, the State Conservation Depart-
ment presented a new plan for the
services of state wardens and it was
decided to try out the new state plan
before taking county-action.

Under the new state plan there will
be two full time deputy game-wardens
in Houghton County, with the part-
time services of two 0th. deputies
and the part-time services of two dis
trict deputies, it.is reported. A state
trapper will also reside in the county
and give a part of his time to the en-
forcement of the game and fish laws.
It was also stated that the State De-
partment of Conservation is arranging
to have a forest fire warden in each
township to act as key-man and fire-
the protection of timber
against fire. This local man will have
jurisdiction over the entire township
and will have powers similar to state
wardens in securing aid in the fight-
ing of fires. These township wardens
will be under the direction of the state
wardens.

HE Upper Peninsula will be repre«

sented, as last year, at the Nation-
al Travel and Out-door Life Exposi-
tion to be held at Chicago, May Tie 11.
The exhibit this year wfll'not he as
elaborate as a year, ago. p

,. THE EARL Y BIRD

_ By Al

“It’s the early bird that catches the

And the worm, it is good for the bird;
While the death of a worm is only a

squirm
That never is seen or heard.

It’s the early bird that’s up with the
, sun,
When it kisses the moon in good -by.‘e
As his work is soon clone, he's ready
for fun, ‘
~ A sparkle and glint in his eye.

Rice

It’s the early bird that greets the day,

When it’s breaking afar in the east;

He’s getting his pay, while lazy birds
stay

In bed, while they' re losing a feast.

It’s the early bird that wins in the

race,
And it’s good for his health and [his
. soul;
For the time comes apace with hunger
to face,

And breakfast has‘crawled in a hole.

 

 

I can't tell you why. My place—is
down there.”

For an instant Medaine Robinette
looked at him with frankly question-
ing eyes, eyes which told that a
thought was beginning to form some—
where back in her brain, a. question
arising as to his guilt in at least 01'1e
of the things which circumstances had
arrayed against him. Some way Barry
felt that she knew that a man willing
to encounter the dangers of a snowy
range would hurry again to the side
of the woman for whom he had dared
them, unless— But suddenly she was
speaking, as though to divert her
thoughts.

“VVe’ll have about three hours—from
the looks of the sky. Unless condi-
tions change quickly, there’ll not be
another blow before night. It’s our
chance. ’ We’d better cut this cord—
the one in the lead may fall and pull
the other one over. We had better
make haste.”

Houston stepped before her. A
moment later they were edging their
way down the declivity of what once
had been a railroad track, at last to
veer.- The drifts from the mountain
side had become too sharp; it was
easier to accept the more precipitous
and shorter journey, straight down-.
ward, the nearest out toward those
welcome spires of smoke.

Gradually the snow shook or was‘

walls, while the jutting peaks about
them seemed to close them in, seemed
to threaten and seek to engulf them
in their pitfalls, only to break from
them at last and allow them once
more to resume their journey.

Breaks and stops, falls. and plunges
into drift after drift; through the
glasses the workers below could see
that a man was in the lead, with some-
thing strapped to his back, which the
woman in the rear adjusted now and
then, when it became partially dis-
placed by the plunging journey. Banks
of snow cut them off; snowshoes sank
in air pocketsmholes made by pro-
truding limbs of the short, gnarled
trees of timber line.———and through
these the man fought in short, spas-
mo‘dic lunges, breaking the way for
the woman who came behind, never
stopping except to gather strength for
a fresh attack, never ceasing for,.ob-
stacles or for danger. Once, at the
edge of an overhanging ledge, he
scrambled furiously, failed and fell.—
to drop in a drift far below, to crawl
painfully back to the waiting dot
above, and to guide her, by safer paths,

[on downward. Hours! The dots grew

larger. The glasses no longer were
needed. On they came, stumbling,
reeling, at last to stagger across the
frozen, wind-swept surface of a small
lake and toward the bunk cars of the

_ "Nameless,” he said with an effort,
’when the lengthy details of certifica-
tion were asked. “The mother'.——-” and
a necessary lie came to his lips— "be-
came, unconsoious blafore she could
tell me anything except that the baby
had been baptized and called Helena.
She wanted a priest.”

“I’ll look after it. There’s clothing?”

“Yes. In the pack. But wait—where
does the Father live?”

The man pointed the way. Houston
went on~—to' a repetition of his story
and a fulfillment of his duties. Then,
from far up the mountain side there
came the churing, grinding sound of
the snowplow, and he hurried toward
the station house to greet it. There
on a spur, in the faint glow of an elec-
tric light, a short train was side-
tracked, engineless, waiting until the
time should come when the road again
would be open, and the way over the
Pass free. One glance told him what
it‘ was: the tarpaulin—covered, snow-
shielded, bulky forms of his machin-
ery,—machinery that he n’ow felt he
could personally aid to its destination.
For there was work ahead. Midnight
found him in a shack buried in snow
and reached only by a circuitous tun-
nel, a shack where men—no longer
Americans, but black—smeared, red-
eyed, doddering, stumbling human
machines—came and went, their frost-
caked Mackinaws steaming as they
clustered about the red-hot stove, their
faces smudged with engine grease to
form a coating against the stinging
blast of the ice-laden wind, their
cheeks raw and bleeding, their mouths
swollen orifices which parted only for
mumblings: viking of another age, the

fighters of the ice gangs, of which
Houston had become a part.
The floor was their bed; silently,

speaking only for. the purposes of cur-
ses, they gulped the -f00d that was
passed out to them, taking the steam-
ing coffee straight‘iown in spite of its
burning clutch at tender membranes,
gnawing and tearing at their meal like
beasts at the kill, then, still wadded
in their clothing, sinking to the floor—-

Men craiv ed over one 1-ai1other, then
'drbpped to the first open spot, to
j flounder there a moment, then roar 1n

bearded giant‘hali leaned, half .lay,
one tooth touching 'the ragged lips.
and breaking the filmy skin, while the
blood (dripped; slow drop after slow
drop upon his black, ‘tousled beard.

 
 

But he did not wake. . ,1 ~

Of them all, only Houston ,t-iredeeven
as they were tired, yet with something
' that they 'had forgottenya brain, re-
mained ope’n-eyed. What had become
of Medaine? ‘Had she recoveied? Had
she gone ~to Tollifer, perhaps on a later
trip of the’p‘low’? The thoughts 'rans
through his head like the repetition of
some weird retrain. He sought,sleep
in vain.’ From ‘far 'away came the
whistles of locomotives, answering the
signals of the snowplows ahead. Out-
, side some one shouted, as though cal-
ling to him; agaimhe remembered the
bulky cars of machinery‘ at Tollifer.
It was partially, at least, his battle
they were fighting out there, while he
remained inactive. He rose and sought
the “door, rumbling aimlessly in his
pockets for his gloves. Something
tinkled on the floor as he brought 'them‘
forth, and he bent to pick up the little
" crucifix with its twisted, tangled 'chain,‘
forgotten at Tollofer. Dully, hazily,
he stared at it with his red eyes, With‘
the faint feeling of a duty neglected.
Then:

“’She only said they might want it,”
he mumbled. "I’m sorrywl should
have remembered. I’m always failing~
——~at something.” ‘

Then, dully anxious to do his part,
to take his place in the fighting line,
he replaced the tiny bit of gold in his
pocket, and threading hisway through

the circuitous tunnel of snow, stepped
forth into the night.

’ It was one of those brief spaces of
starlight between storms, and the
crews were making the most of it. The
wind had ceased temporarily, allow-
ing eve1y possible wmkman to be
_- pulled from the ordinary task of keep-
; ing the tracks clear of the “pick- ups”

I from the drifts of the hill, and to be

many.——the clearing of the packed
siftings which filled the first snowshed.
Atop the oblong shed, swept clear
, by the wind, a light was signalling,

its consequent engines, within. Even
§ from the distance, Barry could hear
the surge of the terrific impact, as the
rotary, pushed by the four tremendous
“compounds” and Malletts which
formed its additional motive power,
smashed against the tight—jammed

i at its enemy, then, beaten at last by
the crusted ice of the rails, came
grudgingly back, that the ice crews,
with their axes and bars, might break

_ No story e‘very written‘ surpasses in
dramatic power the struggle of Elijah
with the priests of Baal. So great was
the i m p r esSion
that Elijah made
on his generation.
. that his return
was confiently ex-
pected. W h e 11
Christ came, some
thought he might
be Elijah. A dele-
gation of promin-
ent citizens went out from Jerusalem
to interview John, the Baptist, and

 

inquired if he were not the fiery pro-.

phet revisiting the scenes of his labors.
We are told that it was a belief of the
Jews that ho had come again and again
disguised as an Arabian merchant, to‘
wise and faithful rabbis at their pray-
ers on their journeys. “A seat is still
placed for him- to superintend. the
circumcision of Jewish children. Pass-
over after passover, the Jews of our
day place the paschal cup on the table,
and set the door wide open, believing
that that is the moment when Elijah
will reappear. When goods are found
and no owner comes, the answer is,
‘Put them by till Elijah comes.’ ”

IS whole manner of life was such

as to give rise to such beliefs.
There was something mysterious
about him. He suddenly appeared,
pronounced judgment,‘ uttered words
of warning, and disappeared. No one
[knew where he went. The king
searched his kingdom'over to find him,
when the long drought was on. He was
stern, fearless, impetuous in word and
act. He lived much alone, seemed to
have no intimates. The only descrip-
tion we have of his appearance is
brief but vivid: “He was a hairy man
girt with a girdle of leather about, his
loins,” Stanley says of him: “Of all
the prophets, he. is the one who is
most removed from modern times,
from Christian civilization. There is
a wildness, an isolation, a. rounghness
about him, contrasting forcibly with
the mild beneficence of his immediate
successor, Elisha.”

N one of his unexpected appear-

ances he announced, “As the Lord
God liveth, before whom I stand, there
shall not be dew nor rain three years,
but according to my word.” The
drought lasted three years, and its
punishment was fearful. The prophet
was cared for by the birds at first,
then by a poor “widow. Meanwhile
King Ahab was dispatching his secret
service agents everywhere to find this
distu’rber of the peace, and bring him
to trail. One day athe two“ men met face
to face. The king blustered-but soon
his lmperiousness melted into awe.
Like others he was mastered, not mas-
ter, in the presence of this redoubtable

hermit. He plainly told the king that

chosen for this contest more awe-in-
spiring, Or more appropriate to the

Sir “George Adam Smith says, “Before
him, who stands on Carmel," nature
rises in a series of greatranges, stages
from sea to Alp: the Mediterranean,
the long coast to north and south, with,
its hot sands and palms; Esdraelon
covered with wheat; Taber and the
lower hills of Galilee.with their oaks,
then, over the barer peaks of Upper
Galileo and the haze that is about
them, the clear snow of Hermon, hang-
ing like an only cloud in the sky. It
was in face of that miniature universe
that the Deity who was Character
was vindicated as Lord against the.
deity who was not.”

OF course we shall not describe the
struggle that \took place between
the prophet of the true and the pro-
phets of the false. That is told in
First Kings with unapproachable vivid-
nes’s. The frenzied earnestness of the
fanatical priests of Baal, the mockery
of Elijah, the building of the altar,
the prophet’s short, confident prayer,
the answering fire from heaven,-—~this
forms one of the unforgetable pictures
of the Old Testament. Children should
be told it before they are old enough
to read. Adults should read it for the
good of their own faith in the God of
Heaven and‘Earth. '

It makes us feel our kinship with
Elijah to know that once he was
afraid, and ran for his life from—a.
.woman. Personally I don’t blame him.

And the woman'who had evil de-
signs on the prophet was crafty, cruel
and vindictive to the full meaning of
those words. I doubt it even John

Knox could have handled her, as suc-

cessful as he was with Mary Queen of

Scots. He might have, but it would

have tested him out. Elijah did the
only sensible thing. He got out of
town by the nearest route.

'1"HE narrative‘of what happened to.
him while in flight is as interest-
ing as the struggle with the priests of
Baal. There are some people who in-
vest everything they touch with inter—
est. W’here they sit is the head of the
table. Where they go, newspapers
are sure to follow. Elijah was like,
that. The reporters must have fol-
lowed him, too; at least some one who
could write wonderfully well got the
facts and put them into form. Natur-
ally this servant of Jehovah went to
Mount Horeb, where the law had been
given to Moses. It was to all loyal
Hebrews sacred ground. There he
may have thought, not only could he,
rest and be safe from the fangs of Jesy
ebel, but he would receive a blessing
from God. It may be doubted whether
he should have gone to Horeb at all.
When he had been fed by the angel
should he not have gone back to his
people where he was so sorely need-
ed? At all events, the “voice of gentle
stillness” recalled him to his work.
Duty spoke and Elijah responded. '

0, Ho, , hum-eum,” yawned
Bruin. one * bright sunny morn-
ing. 7 “The sun is up and I must

be getting up, too.”
As he was dressing he heard a flut-

‘ ter at the window and “Cheer-up, Chee'

—-chee——-ee,” over and over again.
Peeping/between the curtains, he saw
a little bird on the window sill sing-
ing just as hard as any little bird ever
could. And how glad that little bird’s

' song made Bruin feel.

“A llfcky day it will be for me, when
a little bird sings at my window like
that,” thought Bruin to himself.

Carefully he put down the curtain

. and hurried into the pantry for some

crumbs for that little bird’s breakfast.
But when he got back with them the
bird was gone.

Of course he had to tell his friend
Rolly Rabbit all about it. But Rolly
only laughed at him when he told him
that this little bird Would bring him
good luck.

Now the real part of our story be—
gins when Bruin was coming back
from the Woodland grocery store that
morning. He was nearing the bend in
the road when a flutter in the bushes
nearby made him stop.

“What was that?” asked Bruin to
himself; “Guess I’ll have to go over
and see.”

Carefully he tiptoed in among the
bushes that he might not frighten it
away with his clumsy feet. He looked

on a little bird.

of a sudden he saw a flutter right by
his big foot. He had almost stepped

ever do it ?” .

But the bird could only answer him
by a faint little “che—chee,” with a.
note that told how dreadfully it did
hurt him. , '

“I’ll take you right home with me
and see What we can do for this,”
said Bruin.

Although the bird did not know the
animal language, he seemed to under—
stand what Bruin meant and nestled
friendly in his arm.

“What have you

How did you

there ?” ' asked

' Rolly as Bruin came in.

“I found this little bird down the
road, Rolly. It has a broken wing.
And, do you know, Rolly, I think it is
the same little bird that was singing
on my window sill this morning,” an-
swered Bruin.

“No matter what bird it is, we must
do something for it, quickly,” said

Roll’y Rabbit. -

So together they doctored the bird
and mended the broken wing with tiny
splinters and fed him everything that
little birds should eat. In a few days
he was so much better that he could
sing to Bruin and Rolly for being so
kind to him. It was not long before
he could fly about the house. He would
light upon first one shoulder and then
the other and chirp and sing to them,
but always in the strange bird-langu-
age that neither Rolly nor Bruin knew,
but seemed in a way to understand.

Then one bright morning Bruin
opened the door and the little bird
flew out, but as he went he 'seemed
to say to his two strange friends
“Thank you so much for what you
have done. I’ll come back to see you
again.”

And next week we’ll find out what
he did when he came back.

 

 

 

SYMPATHY FOR THE TUBERCU-
' LAR PERSONS.

 

NE who has never faced in person

the menace of the Great White
Plague may find it hard to give due
need of sympathy to those who are its
victims. There is too strong a tenden-
cy to feel provoked rather than sym-
pathetic; a stronger interest in mak—‘
ing sure that the consumptive brings
no harm to you and yours than in any
efforts to help lift the weight that
rests upon him.

This feeling is not likely to be help-
ful in fighting tuberculosis for if we
make outcasts of all those who have
the disease there will be a stronger
inclination than ever to hide it up,
call it by Other names, and thus allow
it to get a stronger hold. Tuberculo—
sis is dangerous.
hide that fact. But. the intelligent
patient who has tuberculosis may yet
be quite harmless. It all depends upon
the care that the patient takes to avoid
open ' coughing and the disposition
that he makes of the sputum A

person and there is, no reason why

neighbors should not call upon him
and people go back and forth to his

One of you wrote me last week
about your school teacher having tu-
berculosis and keeping the schoolroom
very close and hot in cold weather. I
am very sorry that anyone having
pulmonary tuberculosis should at-
tempt to teach school. This is put-
ting the children to unwarranted ex~
posure and is also very bad for the
teacher. Most people who have tuber-
culosis are very considerate for the
welfare of others. This teacher should
leave her position until she has over-
come the disease.

'I‘ is easy to make changes in a

home during house-cleaning time,
. and there are usually a number of
little things that can be changed, with-
out cost,‘that will contribute toward-
a more artistic atm0sphere.

If your pictures have been hung
with a‘wire coming to a point at the
moulding and forming a V shape, try
hanging them with two wires, each
wire being vertical thus agreeing with
the vertical line of the frame. The
other way is inartistic and not restful
to the eye.

If your woodwork is tan, light brown
or yellow, dye your white window cur-
tains cream color. They will harmon-
ize with the woodwork and give a
warm glow to the room. The. dyeing
is very simple. Purchase a pound of
yellow ochre at any paint or hardware
shore. This will cost less than ten
cents and, is enough for six or seven
usings. Put a little of this powder
into a small salt bag and tie up the
top. Dip this in a pan of water until
the water becomes the desired shade.
After the curtains have been washed,
dip them in—this solution until they
are the right color remembering that

they will dry lighter. Stretch them if
possible. If not, hang them up before
ironing as rolling will often leave
them streaked.

Enamel a few olive bottles of good
lines, in bright colors to harmonize
with the room. Absolutely no artistic
skill is necessary. Simply purchase
a small can of enamel and a brush and
paint right on the glass. If you desire
light blues, rose color or other light
colors mix white enamel with the
color. Clean the brush with turpentine.
The plain black vases are very attrac-
tive. Budding branches, pussy willows
or flowers in a new vase of the right

. color will add a bright touch _to a
room.

If you possess an old fashioned
china closet containing a motely array
of dishes, curtain it with cretonne, or
gingham.

Eliminate all unnecessary brie—a-
brac, photographs and calendars.

There is no rule better than the old
one of William Morris’: “Have nothing
in your home that you do not know to
be useful, or believe to be beautiful,”
and it can be applied to every home.
Mrs. E. M. Clark.

PREPARING SAUSAGE TO SELL.

 

We are planning to can meat to sell
and are, as. yet unfamiliar with a
practical way to put up the Sausage,
especially pork We have fried some
down and covered it with Lard for our

,oWn use, but do not think it would

sell good. If put in skins, does it re-
quire smoking?—Mrs. J. L.

It might be well to smokesome of
the pork sausage. After filling the
gases, smoke as for bacon, and‘then
wrap in air~tight sacks and' store in a
dry cool place. Some advise dipping
the cases in paraffin.

I believe you would find a ready

,market for the canned sausage fol-

lowing the recipe giVen in bulletin.

TO'MAKE MAPLE SYRUP.

 

It takes 25 to 40 gallons of sap to
1 gallon of syrup. It takes 2 eggs and
V2 quart of sweet milk to cleanse a
gallon of syrup. 1 gallon of syrup
must weight 11 pounds if you want to
sell it. We made 96 gallons last spring
and everyone said it was fine. This.
will keep in a syrup can without seal-
ing in jars.

After your syrup is all cooked add
eggs and milk and boil. If there are
settlings after it is strained put more
eggs and milk in and rebel] and strain
again. Beat eggs until frothy then add'
milk and stir before you stir it in
syrup. ——Mrs. M. B.

We regret that there were mislead-
ing statements in the Mar 29 issue re
garding how to, make maple syrup.
The above is the experience of a farm.
wife and one would do well to followi
it 'when the sap runs again.

Narrow loaf pans insure thorough

Should ”76 A mwer T heir Questions?

A

CHILD is by. nature a question er and seeker of knowledge.
to know himself and the world about him, he asks questions of every-

In trying

one who comes his way. But many, too many, of these questions pass
unanswered or are evasively answered.

Questioning is thinking. When a child asks questions, he is thinking and

his mind is growing. Whether we answer his questions or not, and how we

answer them influences the extent ,of development 01' the child’s mind.

If

we answer the child’s questions honestly, truthfully and understandingly,
his mind will grow steadily and as surely as his healthy body grows.

If the parents and others-turn the child ‘aside with an‘excuse that they
must not be bothered with questions and “to run along and play,” it forces
the child’s mind into a rut, robs the child of the thrill of learning, and of
discovering new thing, and dulls his einthusiasm for knowledge.

We recall the incident of the little boy who had listened to a very impres~

sive ghost story as narrated by an older friend.

his father, “What is a ghost, daddy?”

Hurrying home he asked

“It is a boogy man who will get you if you’re not a. good boy,” answered
the father as he went on about his work.

This little fellow went through boyhood timid and afraid of the dark-
dreading to be alone for fear this boogy man whom he heard mentioned
often would get him, and laughed and joked at by his playmates when he

voiced his fears to them.

Then we urge that every mother and individual having children in their:
training answer their questions honestly and truthfully to the children’s
satisfaction, no matter to what subject their inquiring minds happen to

turn.

W hat I Have Discovered

N doing our daily housework
and being forced many times

to solve our own problems, the
housewife-often finds a different
method of doing her work or
discovers some home or cooking
hint.

If we could pass these hints
on to other housewives they
would undoubtedly help them
over some rough spotsf

but ‘the chestnut ‘liard coal -'furnisiies

the fire goin§‘* out. Ihave tried Sol-
vay coke for brooding chicks but“ it
burns too faSt and there is danger of
the fire dyin‘g‘out before morning.
Beginners with coal brooders should
watch them carefully at the end of the
first week. That is the time the ashes
begin to accumulate around the sides
of the stove and clinkers may clog
the grates. .Above that time give the
ashes a thorough shaking, remove the

.clinkers and turn on the 'fldraughts

until the fire burns briskly. The re
novation will make the fire safer for
another week. ’ '

When installing broader stove pipes,
saw a hole about .a foot Wide in the
wooden roof and cover it with one of
the galvanized flanges furnished by
tinners. Then the stove pipe will not
touch the wood and the fire risk is re—
duced. Nail the flange securely to the
roof and seal the seams and the-nail
holes with tar. '

Two‘ pipes about three feet long are
needed for the brooder stove. One ,is
covered by a' cap and fits on the roof
where it remains permanently. The
other can be shoved up into the flange
and then down on the stove. Then the
stove can ‘be quickly installed in the
'brooder house and easily removed
when the chicks are through with the
stove and ready to roost.

In emptying brooder ashes be care-
ful not too drop hot coals into the dry
litter beneath the canopy. Occasion-
ally inspect the litter and see that; it
does not become banked up too high
against the sides of the stove or inter-
fere with the working of the thermo-
stat. If the thermostat wafers become
old or show signs of leaks it may be
best to order new ones to be sure that
the“thermostats will respond quickly
to changes in temperature.

Fight Colds Now

A lot of. the colds that cause losses
next fall can be prevented by teaching
the chicks to roost at an early age.
Then they do not Crowd and become
overheated at night and catch cold in
the morning on the cool ground. The

.may trouble 9. growing chick all sum-

 

mer may be the cause of the swollen
head which suddenlydevelops during
the cool fall weather.

Keep the brooder houses as 'free as
possible from dust and it may help to
prevent colds. This is done by oc—
“casionally changing the‘ litter and
brushing the stove and brooder canopy
which is soon thickly-covered with
dust. Keep down the accumulation of
cobwebs and keep the windows clean
to permit the sunshine to enter and
help disinfect the house.

Mites often sap the blood from
young stock and make 'ihem more
susceptible to colds. The roosts in
colony houses need just as much spray
dope as the laying house roosts. Often
the colony house roosts are nailed to
the uprights furnishing crevices where
millions of mites can hide during the
day. Soak those crevices with the
engine oil drained from a. crank case
and you will help protect the young
stock from mites.

Watch Breeding Stock.

If any of the male birds seem to be
light in weight or lacking in vigor iso-
late them for a few days and feed
heavily. Some of the most valuable
cockerels generously give most of the
feed to the hens and spend too much
of their own energy in fighting. If
they are out of condition the poultry
keeper pays the bill ’with infertile eggs

' and weak chicks. _ , ~

Cause of White Diarrhea
' White'Diarrhea is caused bythe Bao-
illus Bacterium Pullorum. _This germ
is transmitted to
through the yolk of the newly hatched
egg. Readers are warned to beware ,
of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until
it kills half your chicks. Takethe
_“stitch in time that saves nine.”- Re-
member, there is scarcely a hatch with-
out some infected chicks. Don’t let
these few infect, your entire flock. Pre-
vent it. Give Walko in all drinking
water for the first two weeks and you
won’t lose one chick where you lost
hundreds before. These letters prove it:

 

Never L: at a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind, writes: “I have lost my share of
chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally
I sent for two packages of Walko. ‘I
raised over 500 chicks and I never lost
a. single chick from White Diarrhea.
Walko not only prevents White Diar-
rhea, but it gives the chicks strength
andfvigor; they develop quicker and
feather earlier.” '

' Never Lost One After F irst Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, ShennandOah,
Iowa, writes: . “My first incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, began
to die by the dozens with White Diar-
rhea. OI tried different remediesand
was about discouraged with the chick-
en business. Finally, -I sent to the
Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo, Iowa,
for a box of their Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing
for this terrible disease. we raised
700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never
lest a single chick after the first dose.”

operation before the system of the ‘bird

rial in the crop.

Cases of limberneck result from
burying chicks in a. few inches of dirt
where they are later scratched out by
other animals. The coal burning
brooder stove is the best place for
dead chicks. The body'of the chick
and the disease germs which it con-
tained are entirely destroyed. That is
one advantage of the coal burner over
the oil stove. Scrap bones can also
be placed in a. coal burner and the
ashes from the bones fed back to the
chicks.

Building Poultry Houses.

In spite of all new ideas on poultry
"house construction I notice that many
poultrymen still favor the shed roof
and half span poultry houses. When
on a well drained site they do give
good satisfaction. A farmer needs a.
poultry house that can b‘e constructed
for a moderate sum. After it is built
he has little time for manipulating
fancy systems of ventilation.

A board floor in a poultry house is
not permanent and may harbor rats
which are one of our most destructive
chicks pests. The concrete floor costs
more to build but does not need re-
pairs. It may seem that hens on a.
concrete floor are practically living on
a. cold heap of stone. Of course that
is true but when the floor is deeply
covered with litter the hens do not
know What is beneath the litter and
they are comfortable. The important
factor is to build up the concrete floor
on about 18 inches of field stone and
sand so that it will always be well
drained. The new plan of painting
the stone floor with aSphalt paint is
proving very successful in keeping
down capillary water.

I still believe that lumber gives ‘the
poultryman the most hen house for
the money. Tile and cement have been
successfully used for hen houses but
the fact that most breeders use lumber ,
is evidence of its superiorvalue in
poultry house construction.

I think that poultry houses should
be at least, 18 feetdeep. Then the hens
can roost far enough from the win-
dows to avoid draughts. It a, little
snow blows in the open front there will
still be a wide area of dry litter in
which the hens can scratch.

CURING COLDS.

Our rooster and young pullets seem
to have a scum over their eyes and
are going blind. Rooster does not have
the scum as the pullets but the eye
is a bit swollen and he is already
blind in one eye and the other eye is
almost closed. Their combs are red
and healthy looking. Can you advise
me What to do for them?—~E. J.

The inflammation of the eyes is
probably caused by colds which may
develop into roup. The colds are
caused by exposure to draughts and
overcrowding at night. Dampness and
lack of ventilation also cause colds.
Try dipping the head of each sick bird
in a dilute solution of ZenOleum or
some other commercial dip. Inject a
little of the solution in the nostrils
after removing as much of the mucous
as possible with tissue paper.

Often young stock catch cold by
crowding in the corners of brood coops
instead of roosting in a large house.

There was a large hill between the

Maurice Peterson’s Prize Drawing of

Late President Harding.
over the hill we saw that the fire was
much closer than we had thought. We
had been home about an hour when
a neighbor called us on the telephone
(and told us the fire would soon be on
i our farm.

My brothers went to the pasture to
get the cow. As they got to the gate
with the cow, they looked back and the
spot where they had just been was all
afire.‘ My brother ran to call my father
who was working on the road with the
other men of the neighborhood, about
a half mile from our home.

i When my father got home with the
help of my mother they backfired in
time to save the buildings. One of our
neighbors lost everything he had.—
Nelly G. Priest, Mancelona, Mich.

 

MY most thrilling experience hap~

pened when I was ten years old.
I live on an experiment station farm
and there is a very steep hill, with our
ofliCe at the top and a barn at the bot-
tom. I was in the office with 'the book—
keeper and our car was standing by
the oflice facing the barn. I came out
of the office and got in the front seat
of the car at the steering wheel. I
supposed the wheels were blocked, so
I set the emergency brake ahead. The
car started down the hill, lickety split.
I was steering it and pressing on the
foot brake, which, of course, wasn’t
working. The hill was rough and
there was a fence inclosing the ‘rn~
yard. I,went down the hill, through
the barnyard gate and around the
barn. The car stopped about six
inches from the fence around the
barn. There were five boys watching
me, and they were laughing at me. I
got out of the car and walked up the
hill trembling. My father was away,
but the foreman drove the car up the
hill for me.

When my father’came home, I told
him’ about it. I expected to get pun-.
lish‘ed, but he just said, “Let this be a
‘lesson to you.” He wouldn’t punish
(me because I told him like a man.

ON a late February forenoon, two

B. Didn’t Get

. Some Lucky VM. 0.!Letteri

Dear Mr. Puddin’Tamez— ..

.I, as well as Beatrice Leggerdi'ne,
llke that name, because, if you can’t
tell us your name when We guess and
guess without even coming within a
thousand miles of it, why then that
must be it.—Your niece, Rhoda E.
Huber, M. C., Sturgis, Mich.

Why shouldn’t that name be as good
as any, provided you don’t like to use
"Uncle Frank." It doesn’t matter what
you call me, I would be the same fel-
low anyway. '

Dear Uncle Frank:—— .

I have been very busy with my
school work, but must stop now and
write. What is the use of belonging
to the Merry Circle if we don’t write
once in a while? .

My mother just renewed the sub-
scription for the Michigan Farmer and
I am glad she did, for it would cer-
tainly be a great loss to read the let—
ters of our cousins on0e a week.We
take many other" papers but the Mich-

 

Ar'rel Denton’s conception of the South
Wind. .

igan Farmer is the only one I read.
Well, I must close.~—.Your Niece, Ruth
Tabor, M. C., Belleville, Michigan. '

If you belong to a thing you might
as well use it and get the pleasure
from it. I am glad you are with us
for another year.

Dear Uncle Frank:—

My brother and I have been “silent
readers” just about ever since the
Boys’ and Girls’ paper was started but
have never answered any of the con—
tests or written letters. Does it make
any difference if brother and sister
both answered the same contest? ..

I am just a “Freshie,” in the Deca-
tur High school and like it all very
well, except Algebra. It is the most
hateful thing. I wonder if anybody
else hates it so? Well, I will have to

ifrmg off and make room for somebody
‘else.~Your niece, Helen Lapekas, De-
catur, Mich. '

Even if there are a dozen between
the ages of eight and eighteen in the
family, all could answer the contest
even if they do hate algebra. You
can save postage by, putting all the

letters or contest 'papers in one on-
velope. . ,

DeIar UncleitFrank:— , i' '

am a. ome with. a ll ht case of
tonsihtis and for the loss ogsome‘thing
to do I wrote another poem.

Maybe some of the boys and girls
would like, to know how I “do it.”,- I
just takemy pencil and paper and sit
down and wait for “inspiration.” I‘
never have the least idea what I’m

going to write about until I get done. ,.

It sounds “fishy,” but its true—As

ever, Rex Ellis, Richland, Mich., R. 2.
.- a. -

It may sound fishy to some, but I

know it’s so, for I often work in the
same way. Often when I try the hard-
est I do the worst.

Dear Uncle Frank:—

On February the second, I saw a
letter written by Viola Stein. I was
so delighted to see her letter in the
Farmer. Viola goes to the same high
school as I do. She has a smile for
everybody and she always looks‘ on
the bright side of things. . ,

Say, Uncle Frank, I think you should
have a prize for the Critic Contest
Comment. I surely agree with you
about the writing of the contest. Your
“VVork-to—Win Helper,” Bessie Broder-
ish, M. 0., Ann Arbor,’ Mich, R. 3 '

I am glad to know that Viola is
putting M. C. principles into practice.
The Merry Circle will get a great rep-
utation if we all have smiles for others
and look on the bright side of life.

. Dear Uncle Frank:~

m I answered one contest and had my
answer just as you published the“ oor-
rect solution so I decided that the
reason I failed must have been because
the more fortfinate ones wrote heater
than I did.

., It’s hard work for a child my age
to write as neat as some one sixteen
or eighteen years old. Some way I
don’t seem to get every letter exactly
the same size and the same slant. May~
be I can when I get older. I hope. so
anyway. Mother is a. very pretty
writer. She gets every letter just
so and her .pages always look so neat.

CONTEST WINNERS.

HIS trying to make a sentence of

three words out of the letters in
Uncle Frank was some hard job. When
only five out of several hundred get it
right, it is an indication that the prob-
lem was a real one.

A perculiar part of the results was
that three of those who got the an-
swer correct came from one family.
Undoubtedly, they got their three
heads together to work the problem
out. Anyhow it looks as if the Shelby
family will get a windfall in prizes
this time, Also, I think that Gwendo-
lyn Boltz and Wilfred Smith are due

. special mention for getting the correct
answer alone.

The correct sentence is FLECK AN 1

URN. This means to spot, or varigate
an urn, or jar.

The other five Who got prizes had
something that nearly made sentences
with sense to them.

Some had FUN. CAN LERK, which
would be all right if you could use an
“8” instead of a “u" in spelling lurk.
Undoubtedly what I said about fun
lurking in this contest lead many as~‘
tray. '

I really do not like to give so many
prizes to one family, as I like to spread
them around, but under'the circum-
stances I cannot award them in any
other way. ‘

‘M ore Lucky Letters

Dear Uncle Frank : ~—

I wrote not long ago, but I just can’t
suppress my ideas Concerning the argu-
ment, “are boys rude to girls ?"

.1 answer with a “yes.” I’d like to
put three exclamation points after it
and three lines for emphasis under
it; so that all the girls who think
“boys aren’t very rude” would take
notice. Expressing my feelings is‘ a
slangish way I ask, “How-do they get
that way?” '

Boys don’t think tlfey are rude: 0,
no! they think they’re such dear, little,
sweet little innocent things. But why
try to knock my nose to one side .of
my face and spoil my looks for life
with a snow ball as hard as a stone?

They slam the door right into my
face, providing no teacher is around
and just yesterday a boy stole my last
apple.

If just for one year things would
change. Girls escort the boys to dif-
ferent amusements. Oh, my, goodness,
how popular I’d be! I'd see that my
“cuddly little dear” providing of course ,
that I took one out; would have his
collar down, his golashes buckled, his
ear flaps down, collar up and hands
warm. ‘

Maybe some boys think they’re that
good now. I wish they’d announce
themselves—Just another M. C., Polly
Svinisky, Stephenson, Mich.

I bet that meeting of the snowball
and Polly's nose must have been a
recent one. I bet Polly would make a
good mother the way she would take
care .of these “cuddly little clears.” . I
expect we will hear from a lot of good
boys now.

Dear Unclez— .

I received my pen and I thank you
very much for it. Three other Homer
girls are going to try in the contests
now after seeing my pen, so they must
think it a prize worth trying for.

About the question “are most boys
rude to girls.” I don’t think they are
quite polite to girls. I think that
some boys are polite to some girls
and not to others and that sometimes

: efforts of Mr. J. 6?. Wells of the
Dairy, Extension Section of the
Michigan Agricultural, College, three,

iZed in Ingham County. The first of

twenty-three members living in Ing—
ham County and one ‘member in Clin-
ton County, began to operate in Feb-
uary, 1923. “ Soon thereafter another
association was operating at Mason
and a third was operating at Leslie.
Thework has begun to bear fruit. .
In the annual summary drawn up by
Mr. J. I. Falconier, Tester for the Lan-

. sing- Ingham Cow Testing Association,

he points out that James Ranney, the
Clinton County member of the-Lan-
sing-Ingham Association, of Detroit,
Michigan, had the high herd in but-
ter fat during the past year. His herd
of twelve purebred Guernsey cows pro—

of milk and 390.9 pounds butter fat.
This purebred herd proved to be very
efficient at the pail. Mr. Ranney knew
that he had good cows but the C. T. A.
gave him definite figures on their act-
ual producing ability.

The high herd in milk production
was owned by Mr. Frank Thompson
of Holt, Michigan. His twelve cows
averaged 10,510 pounds milk and 377
pounds fat. Mr. Thompson remarked
that he did not know how good his
cows were last year before the Asso-
ciation started. However, now that
the association summaries are com-
pleted, he has the three highest fat
producing cows in the Association, all
of them purebred Holstein cows.

The lone Jersey herd ranked third
highest in the association averages.
This herd belonged to J. P", Worthing-
ton of Okemos. His five purebred Jer-
seys averaged 6877 pounds milk and
371 pounds fat. Other herds that
averaged better than 300 pounds but-
.ter fat for the association year were

Fifteen cows were sold to the but-
cher as unprofitable cows. Further,
better than twenty-five cows were sold
out of the association to buyers who
wanted to buy profitable co‘ws with
cow testing association records.
Ingham County in the cow testing

association work is doing very credit-_

able. The average production for the
coWs in this association for the past
year is given at 7,757 pounds milk and
245 pounds fat. There are other asso-
ciations in the State and have aver-
aged better than 300 pounds .fat for
the association year. Such associa-
tions have been testing for a long per-
iod of time. Bearing in mind that the
Lansing-Ingham Association has oper—
ated just one season and is now re-
organizing to continue the work for
the second year, better production is
expected in the year to come. It is
only through consistent testing and
constant weeding out of undesirable
cows and constant efforts to improve
feeding methods that the best results
are obtained in the cow testing work.

W C. GALE has finished the test-
. ing year in the South Ontonar
gon Cow Testing Association. Through
the help of W. N. Clark, County
Agent, the first year’s cow testing
association work in this county has
been successfully completed. Mr. Gale,
the Tester, mentions that 256 cows
average 5,037.3 pounds of milk and
217.1 pounds fat for the association
year. . i
There» were only sixteen purebred
cows in the total of 256 cows that
were under test. The purebreds in the
association work did well even though
the high cows in both ‘milk and butter
fat production were grade cows. Ar-
nold Egger of Ewen, with a grade
Guernsey three-year old,. had the high
cow in butter fat production. A grade

is evident from the above comparison .

that the C. T. A. work has‘ just opened
the way to improve the efficiency of
the dairy cows in Ontonagon County.‘
‘ Mr. Clark reports that this Associa-

tinue the work as soon as the roads
open up. It is to be hoped that other

make use of the cow testing associa-

dustry in the Upper Peninsula—A. B.

THE TESTER FOUND THEM.

 

LFONSO KLUSKENS was one of
the far sighted dairymen last fall
who joined the Cow Testing Ass’c. to
find out just how muchprofit each one
of his cows were making him. In a.
herd of mixed Guernseys, with a lot
of just ordinary cows, he found those
two extremes. One making him a re-
turn of $141, the other $.12. Now Klus-
kens has a complete record. Can tell
a buyer just what he made on each
' cow. When he wants to raise a heifer
calf, he knows exactly from which cow
to keep it. Recently he sold all but
just the very good ones. He doesn’t
like to keep cows just to have his
family kept busy all year round—Art. .
Lonsdorf. '

FEEDING.

 

STATEMENT heard occasionally
is that the greatest problem of
Michigan dairymen today is that of
feed and care, and that without this
feed and care the best bred animals
are of little value for milk production.
This point seems to be borne out in
‘the first three months’ records of the
Alpena-Leer Cow Testing Associatibn.
Sixteen of the 28 herds belong to the
Leer Guernsey Bull Association, which
has been grading up for the past 14
years with purebred bulls. The other
herds are either pure-bred or have
been graded up with purebred bulls.
During January 15,000 pounds more
inilk was produced from the 223 cows
than in December. During February,
a short month of 29 days, 19,000
pounds more milk was produced from
the association cows than in Decem-
ber. Four fresh cows were milking
during January but five less cows were
milking, so that point was evened up.
During December eight cows produced
more than 40 pounds of fat, while
there Were 16 cows above that figure
for January and 17 cows above that
figure for February.

Carl Jennings, Tester for the Asso-
ciation, gives as a reason for the in-
creased efficiency of production, bet-
ter feed and care, especially in the
feeding of more grain, and more pro-
tein to balance the grain mixture. Ef-

WHEN SHALL I SEED ALFALFAL?

 

. .(Continued from page 539.)
too late for safeplanting if the sum-
mer fallow has been well prepared
and properly firmed there should -be
sufficient soil moisture to carry the
young seedlings until fall rains start.

Do Not Overlook Quality in Seed.

With all other factors taken care of
up to this point it now becomes nec-
essary to use care and discretion in
selecting the seed to use. The finest
piece of soil adapted to the growing]
of alfalfa could be selected, then pre—
pare an excellent seed bed, seed at

the most favorable time and get a
100% failure from using seed that is!
not adapted to Michigan conditions.

There are about three classes of
alfalfa seed coming into Michigan.

First, jnst alfalfa seed, the origin of
which. is unknown. It may have ex-
cellent germination and be of excep-
tional purity but when seeded in Mich-
igan be very severally winter killed
because it was not adapted too north-
ern winters. Second, is what is known
as northern grown common alfalfa.
This is alfalfa that has been produced
under northern climatic conditions for
a sufficient number of years to insure
its. becoming hardy. Third. the vari-
gated varieties such as Hardigan,
Grimm, Cossack and Liscomb. These
varieties have in their make-up the
hardy inheritance of the 'old sickle
alfalfas of Northern'Europe and are
called varigated because they have tra-
ces of the yellow flower inheritance
of the Sickle alfalfa along with ,the
purple of the common. It being quite
characteristic, though not always true,
that all colors of flowers can be found
from yellow to yellowish green and

slight variations of purple and white.
Of theSe various classes it can be
said,that Michigan farmers cannot af-

NEW METHOD OF CONTROLLING
WARBLES.

 

ON page 486 of/the Michigan Far-
mer issued March 29, 1924, one

‘finds an article on the “Hide of a.

Steer.” This article points to the fact
that Michigan hides, many of them,
contain blemishes caused by the ox-
warble, which is sometimes called

"‘grub- -.1n the— back”and which is known,

in the southwest, as the “heel fly.”
It also explains that the most valuable
part of the hide comes from what is
known as the. “table" which is the
part of the hide covering the back of
the animal.

Now, a comparatively new method
of control of warbles has been dis-
covered which does not seem to have
yet become commOn knowledge among
the stock growers.

The exact life history of this ox-
warble,—that is its method ofyegg-lay-
ing, the exact development of the mag-
got and it habits,—’is still a mooted
question. Nevertheless. this new meth-
od of control works practically every
time and, as its application is cheap
and has thus far, resulted in no injury
to the animal, the writer hopes that
the practice will become general, that
Michigan cattle may may soon become
free from warbles, and that conse-

quently the price of Michigan hides

may permanently improve.

The treatment is carried out as fol-
lows:~—Secure a quantity of iodoform
a. malordorus compound kept in every

drugstore, and combine one part of

iodoform, by weight, with five parts of
petroleum jelly,———crude petroleum
jelly because for this particular pur-
pose it is just as good as the more
highly refined vaseline, which could be

, used in its place but which is many

times more expensive.

Mix these two ingredients together
evenly and thoroughly and then
anoint each lump containing a warble,
on the back of the animal with a little
dab of this ointment-like mixture.
Rub in a little and be sure that the
opening, thorough which the insect
breathes, is covered with some of the
ointment.
of course, while the lumps are small
just as soon as they can be nicely
detected. In a few weeks the grubs
will have died and become somewhat
shrunken so that, if one care to take
the trouble, one can readily grasp the
end of the grub, where it comes to
the surface of the animal’s skin, and
pull it out.

The wound will then heal up, leaving
a comparatively slight blemish which
will detract only slightly, if at all,
from the value of the hide.

Furthermore, two or three years of
a. campaign against this grub should
result in cleaning up the state so that

The work should be done,.

warbles would be found only in ani»
mals brought in from outside. If each

l’man- in a district ‘vvene, to follow this
practice for two or three years the loss »

from ox—vjarble could easily be made
a—uegligable loss-+3 H. Pettit

 

HEARING MOTHERLESS LAMBS.

 

DESPITE the best of management
at lambing time, a. ewe may die, -.

lose the use of her udder, disow-n;

.her lamb, or, for some unaccountable

reason. the lamb fails to nurse and
must be reared by. hand. Some ques-
tion the expediency of trying to raise
these lambs. We have found, how-
eyer, that, properly fed, these will
come along about as well as those
raised by the mother.

The motherless lamb should be
placed in allight dry place near at
hand where it may receive frequent at-
tention for the first month or two.
There is more danger in over-feeding

.than in under feeding. Milk from a.

fresh cow is best since it more nearly
resembles that of the ewe. being more
easily digested. Add a little sugar to
warm water and use this to reduce the
milk, so it will approximate in fat
content the milk of the sheep. Avoid
irritating Stimulates for constipation
may follow.

Feed regularly every two hours dur-
ing the day and four hours apart dura
ing the night until it is ten days or
two weeks old. Give the lamb just
what it will take quickly and no more.
It is safer to leave it a. little hungry
than to over-feed. Give plenty of warm
water to drink. Keep the motherless
lamb in a pen with a small yard a‘d-
joining for exercise. Do not handle.—

‘Leo. ‘C. Reynolds.

 

DECEPTION IN SALE

 

I bought a grade cow at an auction
sale for $75. When the cow was led
out the owner said the cow was bred
August 18, 1923, was giving 30-35 lbs.
of milk and was right in every way
I paid cash. That night. she gave 17
lbs. of milk, the next morning she gave
6 lbs. and by good feeding I got her
up to 22 lbs. per day I discovered
after purchasing her that she was a.
kicker, and they milked her by using
chains on her legs. She came in heat
January 12. She is evidently not a.
breeder although she has the earmarks
of a. high producing cow. I feel Ihave
been imposed upon. Should I state
the facts to former owner and demand
my money and upon refusal sue for
the amount; or should I sell the cow
to the butcher and demand the differ-
ence? Or had I better forget it?—

e o

If the cow has been retained after
discovering the deception, the right to
return is waived, and the only rem-
edy is suit for damages—the differ-
enCe between her value as she is and
what her value would have been if as
represented—Rood.

away. The high labor cost put on in-

the loss falls on those least able to
bear it.

timber conservation are undoubtedly
far sighted andpublic spirited. How-
ever, the question of clothing is imme-
diate and pressing.
the state of Michigan no agency of
any sort that has any fostering care
or constructive planning to aid in
meeting the approaching wool short-
age.
ent time is for individual wool grow-
ers to go in with his neighbor in ask-
ing a. fair price for wool based on
supply, which should be no less than
fifty cents a pound—J. N. McBride.

HE report of the. wool deflers’
annual meeting which appeared

,_ in these columns last week con-
firms} the , general impression that
wool prices must go higher. From the

dealer‘s standpoint he is playing safe.

If the auctioneer at a public sale

were to take the first 'bid offered, and-

strlke on! the article to this first hid-
der, the sale would probably be de-
clared off, or [a . new auctioneer be

found. The farmer who accepts, these

first bids for wool is equally injudi-

cious, when a higher bid. it seems, is-

sure to be made.

The dealers are a little like the

principle involved in Gen. Grant’s

horse'story. When his father told him'
‘to ask one-hundred dollars, to take.

seventy-five if he could not get more,
he injudiciously told these conditions

to the prospective buyer, and, it is

needless to say, he took the less price.
The wool dealers have practically

said that wool will be worth more,

money and a later meeting is author-
ized to consider later development.

The next move is up to the wool
producers to say our wool is ready for
you at 50 cents. It is good wool and
well worth the money. Similar wool
to ours is being bought 'at 47 cents in
Arizona with a heavier shrink and a.
higher freight rate.

The United State in 1923 produced
47,000,000 lbs. less wool than the aver-
age for 1909—1913, and the world’s pro.
duction measued for the same period,
is 400,000,000 lbs. less. To put it
another way, there is a world's short
age equivalent to about 100,000,000
ment’s suits.

The prospect is good for the truth-
in-fabric bill becoming a law. If it
does, it will strengthen the market.

The use of shoddy is not objected to '

by its provisions, but to palm it off
on the consumer as “all good wool,”
is deception. If one will notice the
coats of men and women after a few
months wear, he will observe the
coarse warp with the shoddy worn

ferior fabrics is poor economy, and

WHEAT I

While future prices did not follow
the full gains made in the cash prices
they were influenced by the strength’
in the cash market and May wheat
closed on Friday about one cent high-
er than last week. May corn was up
31/2 cents, while May oats advanced
about two cents. The wheat market
was influenced more by the strength
in the coarse grains than by any de-
velopments in the wheat market sit-'
uation itself. \Vinter wheat crop pros-
pects continued good, with reports in-
dicating less than the average aban-
donment of acreage. ‘ Foreign crop
prospects also continued favorable,
'while there was a fairly large move-
ment of Australian and Argentine
Wheat to the European markets. This
Wheat, it is stated, is being offered in
the foreign markets lower than the
Canadian wheat which is being offered
at Atlantic ports at about six to seven
cents under United States wheat. This
has practically eliminated export sales
of our wheat, except from the Pacific
Coast ports. Light receipts of wheat,
especially of the higher grades, widen~
ed the premiums paid for this wheat
at the various markets. Mills were
more active buyers, although the de-
mand was not of large volume. Stocks
in store were drawn upon and between
2,000,000 and 3,000,000 bushels of Can-
adian wheat were reported sold to the
northwestern mills. Fourteen per cent
protein wheat sold at Kansas City as
high as thirty cents over the May
price. With the spring work coming
on and the light stocks in the country
elevators no material increase in the
movement is expected in the immedi-

ate future.
CORN

The corn market ruled very firm,
during the week because of the very
light receipts and a fairly active de
mand. Gains ranging from three to
six cents per bushel were reported at
the principal markets. The future
market did not follow the full advance
in the cash market and prices at the
close of the week had declined slightly
‘from the high point reached about the
middle of the week.‘ The southern de-
mand has slackened somewhat as deal-
ers have accumulated supplies for
"Itheir immediate needs. The feeding
demand in the central west continued
\of good volume-and shippers andele

vator interests absorbed themoderate '
oflerings upon arrival, ' ‘ ' . * ’ ’
OATS. ,
The movement of cats also contin- -
ued light and 'the? market was firmer
than during the previous week: There

r-wa's a good demand at most of the

markets for the limited offerings as
the trade was not expecting any ma-

. terial increase in receipts. .Further

erings of Canadian- cats to New Eng-
1 nd at prices below quotations in the
United States, markets offset some-
what the influence ‘ofgthe delayed seed-
ing inthe central west. .While, farm
stocks are fairly large the heavy farm
consumption is ex ‘ected to absorb a
good amount'of ,t ese stocks before

the new crop is available.

The rye market was steady during
the current week. Future prices de-
clined slightly at" Minneapolis, but
there was a good demand frdm mill-
ing industries and cash prices advanc-
ed more than the amount of the de-
cline in futures.

BEANS

The bean market declined last week
to $4.75 per 100 pounds for C H P
whites f. o. b. Michigan. Demand be-'-
came very light, deliVeries Ito elevat-
ors increased and the speculative buy-
ing of the previous week ceased. De-
mand is rather lighter than usualat
this season of the year. It is estimat-
ed that more beans had been sold up
to April 1 than in the entire previous
crop year, and it is pessible that re-
tailers are a little better stocked up
than they were in the spring of 1923.

SEEDS

Seed markets continue dull and the
prices are easy. Since the sowing
season is two or three weeks late, it
is believed that the demand for clover
and grass seed will persist throughout
April. Imports of cloverseed have de-
clined sharply. Old red clover is
quoted about $2 per bushel higher
than seed from the 1923 crop.

‘ HAY

Hay markets were strong last week
with a good demand and light receipts
as a result of bad country roads. It
is generally believed in the trade that
the remaining supply will be cleaned
up without difficulty before much new
hay becomes available. The depart-

larger than at this time last year‘but
holdings of timothy and clover hay
are, lighter. The. freezing out of win-
ter oats m the south is prolonging the
demand for hay from. that section. ’

, woos '~ ~ ,

Domestic wool . markets ' have eased
sli htly. Ohio delaine which has been
ho ding firm at 5.7 cents at Boston,
moved at 56 cents during the week.

-Foreign‘ markets - remain extremely

strong and another 2,000,000 pounds
of foreign wools in bond was sold" for
re-export. ‘ Contracting. wool- in the
west is quiet. The sale of Michigan
quarter and three-eighth wool at 48
cents f. o. b. country pointswas re-
ported. Mills still complain of an un-
satisfactory market for goods, al-
though a little improvement is noted
occasionally. Wool was consumed by
domestic mills in January and Febru-
ary ata rate equal to about 750,000,000
pounds annually,awhich is over two
and onehalf times the amount of the
domestic clip. The pre—war average
consumption was less than 600,000,000
pounds. In spite of the reported dull-
ness in the goods market, mills have
not materially reduced operations in
the last six weeks. At the rate that

they have been buying for six months, "

their stocks must be depleted so that
they will need to replenish by the time
the new clip is available in volume.

, POULTRY AND EGGS

Egg prices strengthened last week.
Many of the arrivals failed to grade
up to “firsts” and quality products
found easy sale and will continue to
dose during the approaching Easter
season. Receipts at the four leading
markets are not as heavy as a year
ago and have not yet begun to reflect
the increase in production estimated
by the department of agriculture at 10
to 12 per cent over last year. Eggs are
not moving into storage in any vol-
ume as operators hesitate to store at

existing prices although values are the -

lowest in many, years.

ed in New York. Arrivals last week
included 4,410 casks of Danish, 7,024

- POTATOES

The department of agriculture esti-
mates that the eleven surplus state.
had 33,613,000 bushels of potatoes on
March 1 available for shipment out of

the country. This is 31 per cent less -

than a year ago When similar holdings
were 52,145,000 bushels. New York,
Maine and Pennsylvania have more
potatoes than a year ago, but in all
the-other western states, stocks are
much lighter. Wisconsin stocks are
only 40 per cent of last year, Minne-
sota 46 per cent, and Michigan 75 per
cent and the Dakotas 37 per cent. Po-
tato prices are steady to slightlyhigh-
er than a week ago. Northern sacked
round whites, U. S. No. 1, are $1.25
1.50 per 100 pounds sacked in the C '
cago carlot market.

GRAND RAPIDS

Potato prices were a nickel higher
in Grand Rapids early this week, the
farmers making sales at 55@60c per
cwt. The leaf lettuce market contin-
ued its upward trend, prices moving
to 160 a pound, while hothouse rad-
.ishes remained firm at 70c a dozen
bunches. The city whole market has
opened up and vegetables are moving
better, parsnips touching $1.75 a bush-
el early in the week. Carrots were
steady at $1@1.25 a bushel; turnips at
600 bushel; rutabagas 60¢ a bushel,
and cabbage at 75c@$1.25.bushel. Re~
ceipts of poultry are light and prices
are mainly unchanged, with best fat
hens topping around 250 a pound. Eggs
were firm at 20@210 a dozen, with re-
ceipts barely equal to the demand.~»
Beans were weak at $4.10@4.25 cwt. '

DETROIT CITY MARKET

With some farmers cleaning up their
stocks of old potatoes, and road condi—
tions preventing others from‘ coming
to market, the supply has been only
moderate and the market has held‘
firm. Apples are less plentiful and
are selling fairly well. Nearly all of
that local supply of cabbage is cleaned
up but southern shipped-in cabbage
is preventing increased prices. Ono
ions, unless not large, have found slow
sales Horseradish and dark red beets
are 1n demand by Jewish trade. Fat
hens find ready sale, with the market
firm. Sprmgers move slowly atabout‘z
two cents less than hens. Market for
eggs is steady, as the consumptive de-
mand increases and more are 'being

L—Polarlne Ugh!
Ill—Pauline Medium

am—l’olarlneSpedaflleavy
Elm—Palatine Extra Heavy

N. B. —For recommendations of grades of Polarine to
use in automobiles and trucks consult chart at any
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) station.

 

 

 

“Burned hearings on a crankshaft or elsewhere”, says a Aeading automotive
authority, means that the bearing is cut, caused by friction from lack of oil."

Polarine protects bearings, by maintaining at all times, an unbroken cushion

'of oil. That it can do this, is due solely to its correct scientific structure.

One Polarine user writes: “In checking back records of the last five years
(during which we have used only Polarine Oils and Greases) on the upkeep
cost of our tractors and trucks we had only one case of burned out bearings,
andthis one case was the fault of neglect on the driver’s part to supply the
necessary amount of oil.

“This, with eleven tractors and trucks running continually, we believe is
some record."

Numerous other'lctters’ tell a similarstory.

Polarine minimizes friction because it maintains its body. It maintains its body
because (First) it is made from selected crude. (Second) because it is refined
and treated by a special process to remove those elements which tend to
form gum, carbon and other impurities. (Third) because it undergoes
elaborate laboratory and field tests which‘checkup the refiner in his efforts
to produce a lubricant which will stand up under all temperature and
mechanical. conditions. .

The chart at the left tells the right grade for your tractor to give you perfect
protection against friction.

The essence of economy is to drain your crankcase frequently and fill up
with the correct grade of Polarine. Your tractor w1ll give you better some.
and it will last longer. _
