HE natioh‘s bani crop is approxi-
mtely three million bushels less
than that of last year, according to a.
report issued. by Verne H.- Church,
Michigan Agricultural . Statistician,
and L. Whitney Watkins, Commission-
er of Agriculture. While- the yields
are up to the average in most states,
the acreage is considerably less in the
states growing white beans. Based
upon the average of previous years.
Michigan has seventy-five per cent of
the entire crop of White beans. A spe-
cial inquiry on October 1 developed
the information that eighty-eight per
Cent of the Michigan crop is white
varieties, ten per cent red kidneys ahd
two per cent says. The average pick
is 6.5 per cent; the average yield,
eleven bushels per acre; and the total

production, 5,621,000 bushels. It is es- '

timated that eight per cent of the
state’s acreage was abandoned for var-
ious reasons, leaving'a. harvested acre-
age of 511, 000.

The telegraphic reports from the
principal bean growing states shows
the following prices, yields per acre
and the total yield in bushels for each
of these states:

FARM BONDS ARE SOLD.

 

HE Federal Farm Loan Board an-

nounces that the Federal Inter-
mediate Credit Banks, through Charles
E. Lobdell, their fiscal agent in Wash—
ington, have consumated the sale to
a group of commercial banks of $10,-
000,000 of their six months’ deben~
ture bonds, bearing four and onehalf
per cent. They were sold on a basis
to yield 3.25.

Commissioner COOper, of the Farm
Loan Board, says that this is the first
bond issue for the 1924 marketing sea-
son, and the funds derived from the
sale will be used entirely by farmers'
cooperative marketing associations,
which, from New England to Califor-
nia and from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf Coast, are making use of the In-
termediate Credit banks and finding
them helpful, not only as a direct con-
nection, but as facilitating the estab-
lishing of satisfactory relations with
the commercial banks for their short-
term maturities.

MICHIGAN GRANGES LEAD.

N the number of additional subor-

dinate granges organized and reviv-
ed during the fiscal year ending with
September 30, Michigan leads all the
states with a total of thirty—onehfour—
teen new granges organized and sev-
enteen reorganized. Three states put
in more new subordinates—Oregon
with twenty-five, Ohio 131111 seventeen‘
and Idaho with twenty-three. But Ohio
was the only one of these three states
to reorganize any -of he" subordinates.
having brought to life six during the
year. Besides there have been eight-
een juvenile granges organized in

Michigan for the period. -

The advice of the grain experts at
M. A. C. is to have the corn on sand
knolls, which has undoubtedly ripened
first, for seed purposes.

 

The time—worn question of who owns
the fruit of a tree growing on the road
side was brought up in Kent county
recently. The court decided that the
farmer owned the land up to the mid-
dle of the road and, while the public
had traveling rights, the products of
the roadside trees belonged to the

Radlo Brings Dollars To This Farmer

T érougfl Seed- 727m and Harvest we Set war em Ever-

0 doubt many readers will be in-
terested in the simple story of
how the radio played a real and

I .‘worth-while part in our farming oper-

' vation's during the past summer. That
:part was, so important that we now
..consider the wireless a rather neces-
sary, part of our farming equipment.
“7e have a little home of forty-five
acres, and last spring we decided to
- plant the entire farm to beans. So out
came the fences and with the help of
the tractor and the team of old trust-
ies, we soon had one big field all ready
to drill to that crop.
Of course, about this time we began
watching pretty closely the weather

forecasts which came daily over our

By a Midland

radio, and if a shower was predicted
we worked just a little harder, to get
all that we could, done before the
rain. When the drilling was all done
and about half of the field rolled, one
of the accompanying illustrations was
taken. The/other one shows the loads
of beans at the threshing machine
when the first twenty acres were being
threshed. We now have the entire
'crop harvested and the whole farm
drilled to wheat.

We have been too busy all summer
to listen in on many of the radio pro-
grams, but we always tried to get the

weather forecast every day. It sure is
a help at seeding time, and a. greater
help at harvest. When fair weather
was forecasted our beans were some-
times pulled and left unforked for
three or four days. This way they
dried quickly and the green ones cured
out before they were put in piles, and
a good portion of the “turning beans”
was saved.

As we have the only receiving set
in this neighborhood, we gave the
weather forecast daily during bean
harvest to our neighbors by telephone.

the radio on the farm will be consid-
ered quite necessary. The market quo-
tations reach us much sooner than do
the daily papers, and the farmers, as
well as the dealer, can keep posted

to sell. And now that the long winter
evenings are almost here again, we
will be listening in on the entertaining .
programs, and making notes from the
best of farm talks, not only from our
own state but from many states. And ,
we sure do enjoy such things as sitting

other famous men, speak to us. What
more can we ask of our radio?

Select and“ Dry Seed Com This Fall

Com Kernels Yet 2'72

HE best method of securing seed
corn is to select it in the field
from the standing stalks before
. husking time, then, -
Keep ears apart.
Provide good ventilation.
Keep dry and warm enough to avoid
freezing.
Don‘t put seed corn in a pile.
Don’t put seed corn in damp cellar.
Don’t allow seed corn to freeze.
Don’t put seed corn in a close, shut-
up- room.
This fall the man who treats the
matter of seed corn selection and the

_ proper care of it, with indifference or

carelessness, will get let down hard.
Seed corn that consists of mature,
plump kernels will be scarce and high
in price. High quality seed is that
which thoroughly matures on the stalk.
These ears Can be found by going

'through the field and selecting the

well-hardened cars which, at this time,
can be easily spOtted by the fact that

~ the husk is dead. Dull colored, prema-

turely dead stalks may be diseased and
should be avoided.

If a heavy frost occurs which kills
the entire field, the stalks having the
most matured ears should be cut and
placed in small shocks at the side of
the field for quick curing and the bal-
ance of the crop cut and put into the

: silo or shocked in the usual way.

The main idea is not to separate

~ green corn from the stalk until all the

available nutrients possible can be de~
Corn kernels
which are-yet in the milk will grow it
properly taken care of, but they do
freeze quite easily and the very best
of care, and attention must be given
seed in this condition. "

. “’Nufl said!

By J. R.

Duncan

Farm Crop: Dept. M. d. C.

Ears which have even ten per cent
'of the kernels dented will dry down
and be somewhat shrunken if separat-
ed from the stalk at this time. They
will grow all right, but will not have
the same Vigor as mature seed, and
possibly you would have to stand a
slight reduction in yield to the extent
of three or four bushels per acre. How-
ever, that would be small in compari-
son with the loss sustained by allow-
ing it to freeze or mold.

I would much prefer corn picked in
the milk stage than frozen corn, even
though the appearance of injury was
slight, Usually the butt of the ear is
a good place to look for; freezing in-
jury. If the kernels show fine cracks
in the hard starch, you need not look
any further, just give that ear to the
hogs, the same way with an ear with
a moldy spot in it anywhere.

Both of these things occur about
three years out of every five and both
can be avoided most every year. Lots
of corn, that was tested in the farm
crops germinator last winter, failed to
grow because it was frozen and some
because of mold, due to the ears lying
against each other. Yet those men
who field-selected their seed corn dur-
ing October, and placed it on hangers
or racks" in a well ventilated place,
had no trouble at all‘with their corn
on account of its germination. An-
other thing, it had more vitality to,
withstand the cold, wet condition of
the ground which prevailed last spring.
Field—select seed corn.”

There are any number of ways of
properly drying out seed corn, that
beat the old, shiftless method of cord-
ing it up in a pile. Yes, and make the
difference between fifty per cent germ-
ination and ninety— —nine per cent germ-
ination. Ninety-nine per cent germina-
tion and strong vitality go together to
produce a maximum crop, and fifty per
cent and low vitality go together to
produce twenty-five or thirty per cent
of a crop. You’re then “out of luck’”
because you have to take care of it
and it isn’t worth the trouble.

The Storage Place.

Now for a place to put the seed
corn. Any dry, ventilated room is all
right if it doesn’t get the steam or
moisture from the live stock. That’s
the thing, ventilation, a draft, a forced
draft if necessary, the stronger the
better. If you have enough seed corn
to justify the expense, an electric or
gasoline-driven fan for two or three
weeks would be a good thing. Other-
wise, a heater may be necessary for
protection against freezing. Seed corn
with thirty per cent moisture, placed
in a. tight room without open windows
or doors to create a movement of air,
will almost certainly mold.

Another poor place to hang seed
corn is on the outside of the barn
where it is exposed to the weather.
The ears should not be allowed to be-
come wet at any time after they have
been husked. .If germination is not
killed, the vitality will certainly be
weaker. I have seen corn hung up

 

Me Melt 1717/ Grow 5w T fley [Veea' Me Bert of Care

this way subjected to rain which froze
on the corn.

Use the rafters in driveway of barn,
granary, garage, or corn crib, or put
on racks in vacant room in the house.

Hangers can be made with binder
twine, c1iss crossing or making loops
to lay the ears in, yet keeping the
cans separate

Electiic weld fence oi the plain
lawn type, with the line wires four
inches apart can be cut up into hang-
ers which hold sixteen ears each.
These make everlasting, convenient
hangeis, and the material only costs
about twenty cents for enough mate—
1ial to hold one bushel (one hundred
and twelve ears) of seed. The ears
are pushed onto the prongs, the prongs ‘
bent upward at an angle, and the ears
will not drop off, and no ear comes in
contact with its neighbor.

Com hung in a driveway or any
place between open doors on opposite
sides of a building where the breeze is
constantly blowing drys down very
rapidly. Under normal conditions
there is no cause for worry as to
whethei the seed corn will grow or '
not, the expense is lessened, and not

so much care is required in sorting
the seed ears to be used for planting.

Careful attention to the protection
of seed corn for the first four or six
weeks is what counts. Last year corn
was husked from the shock in late
November or December and saved for
seed. Examination and germination
tests showed that it had been frozen
before it left the field

There are other devices for keeping
the ears separate. Collapsible wire
racks which hold one hundred ears

CURRENT COMMENT
LECTORS who go

Amend. the fourth of Novem.

her to discharge their
duties as citizens of
the greatest of repub-
lics, will be called upon to vote upon
three amendments to the state consti-
tution. In last week’s issue of this
journal the full text of these three
proposed amendments Was published.
Since they have a definite bearing up-
on rural life and upon the business of
agriculture, it is important that every
conscientious voter take pains to
study these proposals to the end that
the ballots which go in the box may
give a true expression of the voter’s
opinion.

It may serve a good purpose to re-
state here the gencral purport of these
amendments. The. public school amend-
ment will, if adopted by a majority of
the voters, make it compulsory for all
children in the state between the ages
of seven and sixteen years of age to
attend the public schools until they
have completed the work required to
graduate from the eighth grade.

Should the income tax amendment
receive the support of a majority of
those voting thereon, it will authorize
a. graduated income tax upon incomes
of all citizens and inhabitants amount-
ing to $4,000 up, the money so raised
to be put in the general fund for de
fraying state government expenses

men ts

The third proposal, if adopted, Will'

take from the state legislature the
power of dividing the state into rep-
resentative and senatorial districts
and vest that power in a review com-
mission consisting of the secretary of

_state, the attorney—general and the
lieutenant governor.

In next week’s issue of this journal,
an unpr'ejudiccd presentation of the
arguments both for and against those
prOposed amendments will be publish-
ed, to the end that every reader may
be in a position to express his best
judgment when he marks his ballot at
the coming election.

HIS country rais-

Nation about half the cotton

produced and raises
Va. considerable acreage of potatoes.
. But the entire cash value of these
, three crops does not equal the annual
. . value of the dairy products that the
American cow produces.
During the year 1923, the value of
the American dairy products equalled

$2, 400,000,000 About half of this was

paid for in the form of milk for drink-
ing purposes; thirty-eight per cent,
went into butter and the rest was
spent for lee cream, cheese and other
products.

Does not this indicate that we are;
a milk-fed nation, and may it not be
possible that much of the characteris-
tic American pe'p is due to the fact
that we are large users of milk?

coonmNo to 1;

Ha A . report just recon-f
G s d ed from the head~

0° quarters of the Na-
Year tional Grange. the

grango organizations
in Michigan have had a most success-
ful year. The total number of sub-
ordinates, either new or reorganized,
put into commission by the grunge
field men and women of this state ex-
ceeds,__the number revived and chart-
ered in any other state in the \Union
during the past twelve months.

It undoubtedly is true that at no
time throughout the history of Amer-
ican agriculture has rural leadership
been more needed than now. Not only
has a. constant stream of healthy,
robust industrial leaders, executives,
managers, salesmen and professional
men been moving cityward, but out
in the country mutual farmer business
enterprises, associational work, educa-
tional and promotional undertakings
have been multiplying so rapidly that
leadership trained to effectually carry

,along these and many other worth-

while farmer movements, is in many
places totally inadequate.

Hence, any institution which can at
a time of such need direct its energies
to supply trained men and women for
guiding agriculture in its forward
march, is making the very highest
type of contribution to our agricul—
ture. Therefore, congratulations are
due the granges of the state for their
efficient work along this line during
the past fiscal year.

WEET clover has

Sweet 3. way of boosting
Clover In- itself. Only a few
. years ago it was a
creaflng weed, and farmers

who then spent great
effort to eradicate it now sow it in
their fields. There has been no great
effort to foster it, no sweet clover
campaigns, no special demonstrations,
just ordinary publicity, yet it is not
often that anything or anybody passes
from obscurity to great honor in so
short a time as has sweet clover.
Driving through the country a. very
few years ago it was a rare thing to
see a field growing sweet clover. To-
day it is very common. we see fields
of it in pasture, fields of it for seed,
and fields of it seeded in the small
grain only last spring and now lying
in long windrows, a. ton or more of
fine quality, leafy green hay per acre.
Sweet clover is a great builder of
fertility, and a. great soil renovator.
Few foul weeds can compete with it
and we know of no one crop that will
so quickly change a worn or run-down
soil to a virgin state as will sweet clo-
ver. Left to its “own resources it will
within a few short years transform a
barren waste, roadside, or exposed sub-
soil into a congenial home for June
grass. There is plenty of room for it
to do good in Michigan and it is well
that We have at last wakened up to
the value of “such a troublesome

weed.”

Twouldb

a safe

The guess that e tar-

. iff commission has
Tariff not lived up to the
Prblem eXpectations of those
who favored its es-

tablishment. It is true, however, that

through the discussions which have
taken place before the commission,
the public has been impressed with
the complex nature of our tariff sys-
tem.

The average person is not equipped;
nor has he the time, to determine the
effect that a single tariff change may
have on his business. As a. result, he
is usually not prepared tomake pro-
tests when hearings are called, al-
though the proposed change may be
of the greatest moment to him. It is
most natural, therefore, that the in-
terests of this person are not ade-
quately placed before those who have
the final decision on such matters.

But it is not so with big business.
Here large salaries are paid for the
most capable minds to dig up every
item of argument that in any way will
favor their position; and when the
time arrives, and often before, these
trained men are on the job to see that
nothing goes wrong with a. program
laid out to protect every interest of
their clients.

Now, it does not matter whether the
merits and demerits of a tariff change
have been fully considered or not;
when made a law, its effect upon bus-
iness will be thus and so. Had it been
possible to study every phase of any
item under consideration as carefully
as the representatives of big business
have done, then a fairer and a. more
satisfactory rate would undoubtedly
he arrived at.

The question arises, then, could not
our tariff commission render the coun-
try a greater service if, instead of de—
voting its time to listening to pro—
longed arguments of a highly paid law—

er, it would gather unbiased data up-
on which just tariff rates could be es-
tablished. With such an arrange-
ment it would be possible to base our
tariffs on statistical facts and not on-
selfish interests and prejudices.

EARN how to use

Establish- your credit. It is
. worth money to you.
mg. Very often you will

Credit find that you can

make a great saving
by paying cash for some article you
must buy. It is every man’s business
to have an understanding with his
banker that will enable him to keep
himself always in a position to take
advantage of such opportunities. Farm-
ers or business men are few, indeed,
who are so well oil that they can af-
ford to ignore their credit.
Establishing credit is mainly a ques-
tion of establishing confidence. Bank-
ers are human the same as other folks.
You do not like to loan your fence

We bank like lac-loos: money to no
then who habitually fails to show up

When his date is due A note is a
promise and the man whose Word can
be depended upon is the man the banks
or likes to deal with.

First. of course, the banker must
know your ability to pay. He is hand-
ling other peoples goods, so he has
no right» to loan them until he knows
they are safe. A very cluse second in
importance is your honest desire and
willingness to pay when due. Failure
in this does not strengthen your atand~
ing or save your banker trams calling
over the coals when the state banking
examiner comes around and finds your
past. due paper.

No matter how much capital there

'may be back of you, or how hard up

you may be for cash, there is but one

way to establish credit and keep it

good, and that is to be frank and hon—

your obligations promptly.

7721: Fall ’0 Autumn

T’S about the time o’ the year when

I gotta take a fall out 0’ fall. About
oncet a year I gotta say that the
leaves is leavin' and that the trees is
blushin’ ‘cause 0’ their bare limbs.

Even though this fall is the best
summer we’ve had this year, the
leaves kinda begin ta look like they
was goin’ somewhere. They is puttln’
on their gay party colors, or departin’
colors, I should say. .

Now, spring is the time 0' hope and
youth, but autumn is a gay old girl
what’ been through experience. In au-
tumn we know
whether what we
hoped fer in the
spring has come
true or not, and
many a promisin’
child has become
a poor excuse for
a man.

Spring is sweet
sixteen but au-
tumn is fat and forty. It ain’t got the
bloom 0’ youth but it wants ta be just
as young as it used ta be, so it puts
on gay clothes. But autumn is gotta.
fall, and winter take its place. That’s
the way 0’ life.

Autumn is like me and Sofie with
the silver threads amongst the gold,
and spring is like our kids. But, after
you pass through the equinoctial
storms 0' life you kin have a good
autumn if your springs and summers
has been good. The harvests 0' life
tell what the autumn 0’ life is goin’
13. be. There’s nothin’ like a'good
spring and summer ta make a. com-
fortabul old age.

Now, I don’t want you ta think I’m
growin’ old. No, I'm just as young as
I used ta be. High school girls is just
as interestin’ ta me, and I sure do like
-ta step on the gas. I kin pitch hay
when Sofie makes me, but the rheu‘
matics bother some. They seem ta
bother more pitchin’ hay than pitchin’
barnyard golf, or steppin’ it off at the
barn dance. Pitchin’ hay ain’t one 0’
my spechulities anyhow.

Sofie ain’t old either, oh, 110! She
kin step on me just as much as I kin
step on the gas. The way I've been
stepped on, I'm athinkin’ I'd make a
pretty good doormat. Sofie says,‘
“That's about all you’re good for any-.

 

 

 

 

 

' how,” so I sure do feel like one. Beln’

as bein' a doormat is my chief purpose
in life, I'm a. thinkin' I'll have the
snows 0’ winter on my head when the
fall 0’ autumn takes place.

g Anyhow, there’s “Welcome" written
on that doormat. ‘ .HY. SYCKLE.

 

 

  

  

   
 
  

 
 

   
     


 
 

  

" ILL BROWN, ofGratiot county,

is a soil builder, not because
soil building is a fad but be-
, cause he believes that every profitable
farm has its cornerstone laid on soil
fertility.
He first gives the soil a chance to
. render up its fertility and then he sees
'to it that this fertility is assembled
by efficient plants, for the meat part
those that have been originated at M
A. C. And then, aftert hese crops have
been raised, he crystallizes them in
efficient live stock, grade Guernsey
cows and Tamworth pigs. In short,

his philosophy of profit is the phil—‘

osophy of efficiency.
Brown is not content to farm the

‘ usual crop soil, the top eight-inch zone.

He farms‘the air and he taps the sub-
soil. Two of. his ideas on tiling I want
to set down because there is much
good Common sense in them. His farm
is tiled, just as are thousands of other
,Michigan farms, but he finds two nat-
ural agencies that assist him to keep
the tiles in operation. Most ditchers
throw the subsoil back on top of the
tile after they are placed in the trench.
But Brown directs that the top soil be
thrown in on top of the tile and the
subsoil placed on top. Frequent tillage
soon makes this productive again and
he finds that done this way, in a dry
time the earthworms will go down to
the tile. Then when the rain comes,
the perforations they have made help
to carry the surface water down.
Folks who have never tried it are
always fearful that alfalfa will send

Me firti/itjy iuto

' its roots down into the tiles and event-
ually stop them up, but Will' Brown

says that if alfalfa is not left longer .

than from three to five years, no harm
will result. Quite the contrary, when
the plowshare cuts the crowns off of
the plants, the fibrous root decays
away, leaving a channel that the sur-
face water can follow to the tile.
Brown never loses an opportunity to
plant clover and alfalfa. In fact, on
, his eighty acres I saw a greater pro-
portion of the total acreage in clover
or clover-alfalfa mixtures than I have

seen on any farm in some time. In
an oat stubble, the alfalfa-alsike clover
seeding made last spring simply car-
peted the soil in August. Even if he
intends to plow an oat stubble field for
corn or potatoes the following spring,
he sows clover just the same.

About the mixture mentioned above,
he explained, “On 4this field, I used
alfalfa and alsike clover because there
are some sour spots in it. I knew the
alfalfa wouldn’t grow on these, but the
alsike would.” Walking over the field,
we could easily detect these sour spots

by the rank growth of the alsike and
the almost total absence of alfalfa. '

On such a small farm, there is no,-
opportunity for an extensive perma—V

nent pasture so Brown must plan some
mixture that will give satisfactory pasl~_' :

ture for the cows after the grain crop
is taken off. When I was there the
cows were in a wheat stubble field,
although one wouldn’t have known it
without being told. In the wheat last
spring a mixture of Hubam-biennial
sweet-alsike and June clover had been
sown. He finds that such a combina-
tion comes on rapidly, the Hubam a
little in the lead, and gives an abund—
ance of much needed pasture after the-
wheat is removed from the field.

The hog lot was seeded with a. sim-
ilar mixture except that alfalfa was
included instead of the biennial sweet
clover. Brown explained that this was
sown last spring, and seventy-fiver
pound shotes were playing hide-and-e
seek in the legume jungle.

Legume seeds are scattered Wher-
ever they have a chance to make any
growth at all and it does not hurt
Brown’s feelings to see a sea of clover
or alfalfa tops going under the furrow.
This soil building has been carried on
for years on this farm and this year
it was showing in beans and potatoes
that covered the rows, and corn that
was very good, in a year when good
corn is an unusual sight. Brown is
not a seedsman but he uses pure seeds
largely because he believes that they
make better use of the plant-foods
than do seeds of nondescript origin.

What of Our Harvests?

T read of Nartfl Amerieau Agriculture i5 Discussed from a Cauaa’iau Viewpoint
By John Gladstone Grace .1»

T is the harvest fields and not the

battlefields that are impelling pub-

lic attention today in both the
United States and Canada. The Dom-
inion leads the world in agrarian ex-
ports, and the past two years has very
clearly demonstrated that our high
tariff walls raised by the Harding ad-
ministration in 1922, has failed to re-
duce the volume of trade between the
two countries.

The problems before the conclaves
at London and Geneva are of less im-
portance to the grain growers in the
United States’ middle west, and the
farmers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
Alberta, or of the great dairying and
mixed farming states and provinces ,of
Ontario and Quebec, than is the value
today of the European dollar. It takes
gold or real money to buy wheat,
cheese, beef or bacon, and Sir Henry
Rew, the famous scientist and econo
mist of Liindon, after investigating at
Chicago, Winnipeg, Montreal, Minne-

- apolis, St. Louis and Boston, conclud—

ed that the Dominion was a large fac-
tor in the world’s food supply.

Tariff walls between the Dominion
and the Republic is not a solution of
the agricultural problem. How can we
raise the value of farm production and
reduce the cest of soil cultivation?
Shall 1925 be any improvement on the
past four years? That is the great
issue in the" United States. Premier
Mackenzie King, of Canada, is now
touring the great agricultural prov-

inces of the Dominion, and he daily

points out that last session Parlia-
ment put farm machinery on the free

flat. The Wheel; exports of the Domin-
ion for 1923 and up to August, show a
I. marked advance, reaching over 300, -

gained at: $295, 000, (190. .

 

». Peace River and the zone of the Rock-

special wheat trains are flying through
the west day and night on the way to
Fort William and tide-water elevators.

Hon. T. A. Crerar, M. P., and S. H.

,Wood, of Alberta, the heads of the

“Wheat Pool,” have advised advancing
$1.00‘per bushel to the farmers for
wheat at Fort William. Cable advices
from Italy, Holland, France, Switzer-
land, Germany, England, and many
smaller countries, warrant the belief,
the grain growers aver, that with a
world shortage aggregating 371,000,000
bushels of flour-wheat the price will
reach $2.00 per bushel before seeding
time in 1925. Stabilization of Euro-
pean currency, and Germany’s accept—
ance of the Dawes’ plan of reparaiton,
will have a marked effect.

Japan has a serious farmers’ insurg-
ency movement, that will have a di-
rect bearing on the grain market. This
agrarian rebellion in the Orient began
noiselessly in the Gifu prefecture and
has spread to many other districts,
particularly in Nagoya, where indus—
trial development was marked. The
Japanese land is owned by absentee
landlords, and the peasants do the
work, under a form of lease. The
Japanese Ambassador at Ottawa, Nao-
kichi Matsunaga, was asked, but would
not discuss the question beyond say-
ing that the relations between the
masters and servants in rural Japan
had all changed. Asiatics returning
from‘ the United States and Canada
had caused the revolt. The Tokyo
Yomiuri, a‘leading newspaper, hoped
the earthquake and the depression
would have some effect.

The diversion of dams from Alberta, . ,

 

ies, to Vancouver and Pacific ports,
rather than Port Arthur and the At-
lantic, is a new feature that is receiv-
ing the attention, as never before, of
Winnipeg, Montreal, Minneapolis, New
York, and the Interprovincial wheat—
selling agencies at Port Arthur. The
proposed St. Lawrence Deep Water-
ways project, would bring the western
farmer 720 miles nearer to the Euro-
pean market. Washington and Ottawa
are in sympathy with the proposal.
Italy’s wheat crop is over 100,000,000
bushels short. Scandinavia’s rye and
wheat harvest has been a failure. Hon.
James Robb, M. P., the finance Min-
ister of Canada, was elated at his loan
being over-subscribed at foursper cent
interest in New York last week, but
the bankers comprehend that seventy
nations are being fed on Canadian
wheat, flour, cheese, and our agricul—
tural exports for 1923 exceed in value
$400,000,000. The transplanted United
States farmers from Ohio, Massachu-
setts, Michigan, Missouri, New York,
and Wisconsin, are a large factor in
Saskatchewan and Alberta. They were
never regarded as foreigners here.
Most of them brought their families,
farm equipment, stock, and a little
cash. They were elected to the local
councils, and when at the next elec-
tion there will be 245 federal members
of Parliament chdsen, the west will
have, like the farm bloc at Washing-
ton, a large say in legislation.

Sentimentfiis often stronger than
law. Baron Thomas Shaughnessy, of
Montreal, who Was born in Wisconsin,
and -J. J. Hill, of St. Paul, Minnesota,
who Was ' by birth a Canadian, were

not only the world’s foremost railway

interested in the success of the breed-
ing experiment. ‘

builders and operators, but were finan-
ciers, and had strange visions of the
west. Lord Northcliff, of London, on
his return from a tour around the
world, in his last notable speech on
May 12, 1922, reviewed the future of
the British Empire, and said: “The
wisest man I met in America is Lord
Shaughnessy of Canada. That great
man said to me years ago: ‘I wonder
if I am right in thinking that the fu-
ture of the British Empire is largely
wrapped up in what is happening in
Alberta and Saskatchewan provinces ?”
Lord Northcliff continued: “I have
thought of that remark of the great
railway magnate every day since. The
hour of realization of Baron Shaughn—
essy’s words is getting unpleasantly
near." Shall confederation succeed in
Canadianizing the western provinces?
That is what is meant. Baron
Shaughnessy did more to make the
Dominion a great state in the family
of nations than did any other man. In
the darkest hour of the war, when con-
scription came, Quebec turned~ to
Shaughnessy alone for guidance.

Here is another angle. Cattle, hog
and sheep ranchers on two continents
will be startled by the official an-
nouncement of Mr. J. B. Harkin, the
chief of federal parks, that the breed-
ing experiments at Wainwright,flAl—
berta, where the cow and the buffalo,
with its heavier coat of hair, larger
size, thick hide, can stand the Arctic
winter. The assimilation of these two
animals was only. possible by taking
them when calves, but the result may
revolutionize the cost of food produc-
tion, and the Arctic regions may pay ‘
more dividends than the wheat fields _
of today. The Asiatic races are keenly '-

A PARTNERSHIP PROPOSITION.

 

.,., A. and B. are in partnership, every-
thing fifty-fifty. A. pays the rent, B.
does the work and pays all help. Now
A. rents two farms with a house .on
:V each. A. up and rents one to city
folks and when it comes settling time
he says I am not entitled to one-half
; of the rent, which is income to the
“ ~ farm. Have I the right to claim one
half? Now I have to give one—half to
him, which is made with the team out-
side the farm. If he is not willing to
give me one-half the rent can I hold
all I make with the team, as we have
no writings ?——Reader.

The rent of the farm buildings is
just as much farm income as any oth-
er farm enterprise and should be di-
vided on the same basis as per agree-
ment. The best way to settle such
difficulties is by a board of arbitration,
both A. and B. choosing a member
and the two members choosing a third
party to act with them.

It is poor business to enter into an
agreement covering as many angles
as tenancy does without having it in
writing—F. T. Riddell.

INHERITED DEBTS.

 

A man died, leaving a store and a
house in town, all heavily mortgaged.
He left no money. Six months after
his death, his widow received a letter
from an attorney telling her to .pay a
note of $150 with interest, borrowed
by her husband two years before his
death. She has no money to pay this
with until she sells the property. Is
she compelled to pay it?——Mrs. P B

The widow is not liable for any of
the debts of the husband. Only his
estate is liable, of which the adminis-
trator is representative; and debts can
be paid only from the proceeds of the
estate after paying the widow’s a110w-
ance during administration, cost of ad-
ministration, and funeral expenses.
The probate court can” allow to the
widow support for a year from the
death of the husband, estimated in
view of the circumstances of the es-
tate; and the homestead Occupied by
the deceased at the time of his death
is exempt to the widow from sale for
his debts, to the extent of $1,500, ex-
cept for the payment of mortgage in

loaned the money died suddenly from
gas from a stove, leaving him .no
chance to make a will. The third
brother was appointed administrator.
After these years, can the third broth-
er force the note to be paid to the
estate? If such is the case, will it

fruitful sources of misunderstanding.

A RENTAL PROPOSITION.

 

I am about to rent my eighty-acre-

farm to a certain party. I furnish all
the implements, stock, poultry, horse
and tractor poWer, I pay taxes ‘and in-
surance exce ‘t road labor, he (ides all

portion of expenses am I to pay such

DRIVEWAYS.

Last year the state completed a

state road'in front of my house. Road
runs between house and barn. They
left the work very unsatisfactory. I
had ten drive-ways, and they only built
one for me, saying that was all I was
entitled to. They built a guard rail
in front of my lane gate and graded
the road so it is impossible to get in \ ‘
my back fields. What is the law con-
eerning these driveways?—F. B.

The only statute which we are aware
of affecting the right of approaches to
highways, is compiled laws 1915, sec-
tion 4511, which reads: “When a drain
passes along a highway, there shall be
constructed at least one bridge or pas-
sageway across such drain connecting
the highway with each enclosed field
and with each farm ‘entrance, which
bridge or passageway shall also be
charged in the first instance as a part
of the construction of such drain, after ‘

_ which such bridge or passageway shall
be maintained by the owner of the }

FALL PLOWING FOR 3511\ng

 

Is it all right to put beans in after
a’crop of cats, also is it all right to
pug tlfiei‘n where you have fall-plowed?

Fallplowing is to be recommended
for beans. The most satisfactory
yields are secured when the seed-bed
is well compacted and firmed, and
when it is cultivated fora Sufficient
length of. time before sowing to kill
weeds that may have started or are
germinating. ‘

Beans usually yield b‘est after clo~.
ver, or clover and timothy sods, or
after a legumlnous crop. If the soil.
is in a gOOd state of fertility satisfac-
tory yields could be secured after
oats—C. R. Megee.

DIVISION OF STRAW.

 

A. rents field from B. for wheat.
Each furnish half of the seed, fertil-
izer and twine, and each pays half the
threshing bill, A. doing all the work.
Would A. be entitled to half the straw?
—-A. ‘E. D.

The straw is considered part of the
produce, thus A. should be entitled to
his share unless the agreementwas
made otherwise. Definite agreement

should be made at the outset, thus '

avoiding difliculties.—F. T. Riddell.

FALL SOWN SWEET CLOVER.

 

Will it do to sow sweet clover in the
fall and after beans have been taken
off the ground? I want it for pasture
in the spring—W. C.

Sweet clover SOWn much later than
the middle of August is not likely to
make sufl‘icient growth to prevent win-
ter—killing. If conditions are exceed—
ingly favorable, seedings made the
first of September sometimes come
through. . August 15,-however, is about
as late as it is usually advisable to
seed,‘unless the seeding is made so
late that the ground freezes before
the seed has had a chance to germ-
inate.

If you are not able to secure a seed—
ing of sweet clover for pasture next
summer, I would suggest sowing twen-
ty-five pounds of Sudan grass about
the middle of May. This will provide
summer pasture and is one of the very
few annual crops that. can be used for
this purpose—C. R. Megee.

A cooperative effort between the
Michigan Potato Growers’ Exchange,
Michigan Potato Producers’ Associa-
tion, and the Agricultural College, will
bring about demonstrations of the val-
ue in Michigan certified poato seed in
New Jersey and other eastern potato-
producing‘ sections. A carload will he
pooled and sent cast for that purpose.

ICHIGAN’S five~acre dorn grow-
ing contest is now nearing the
-cIose of the second year. In

1923 eight men finished the contest
‘ and placings were made and premiums .

awarded on the basis of profit per
acre.
\‘This year there were about fifty
men entered in the spring. Some were
compelled to withdraw at an early
date. One man wrote that he had to
drag up his field; Several others will.
The cold, wet weather has upset the
calculations for a few who planted on

ing, cultivating, etc. The'amount of

manure and the kind and amount of

commercial fertilizer is, also, made a
part of the records. The yields are
determined in the fall by men from
the Farm Crops Department, M. A. C.,

. who harvest equal areas from each
”field. Samples of each lot of corn‘are
taken, from which the moisture and ~

shelling percentage are determined.
From this data, the cultural costs of
growing the corn can be determined
and the man who shows the most
profit per acre willwear the crown for
the next year. ‘

Last year, Charlie Laughlin, of Dans-
ville, finished first in the contest——hav-

' droughty hot weather to cut the yield

of corn on the higher land.

The corn crop is beginning to go
into the shock. Some of it in the
northern part of the state was cut by
frost while only in the milk, and will
be a very poor crop. In the southern
counties, the crop is maturing nicely
and the earliest is now being out. A
few more days of good, warm weather
will mature a lot of corn. Yet there
are a'good number of fields which will
not mature. A backward'season has
delayed their growth so that they will
almost'surely be frozen before ripen-
ing.

Saginaw county leads all others in
the number of entries, having nine
men in the contest; Wayne county has
six men; Bay and Hillsdale each have
four men entered. Lenawee county
has three entries and Monroe county
has two—one of them being Paul
Clement who finished second in last
year’s contest.

Mr. Shuell, of Alpena county, is sev-
enty-five miles farther north than any
other member, but despite this, the
county agent of Alpena county, C. M.
McCrary, does not expect him to be at
the bottom of the list this fall. Mr.
Shuell realizes that he has a big hand-
icap in the contest, but he wants to
know how much it is costing him to
raise corn.

One hundred bushels is a rather
high mark for a Michigan farmer to
try for, even in a- favorable season.
But we hope to be surprised, for it is
not an impossibility. In 1919, a farmer
in, Monroe county conducted a corn
variety test in cooperation with the
Farm Crops Department. He had
three or four varieties which yielded
over 100 bushels of shelled corn per
acre. The~ best yield was 139 bushels
per acre of Duncan. Another farmer,
in Tuscola county, also had two or
three varieties yield over 100 bushels
of shelled corn per acre in a similar
test the same year. So it is evident

I that Michigan farmers can grow 100

bushels of shelled corn per acre, but
they have unusual difficulties to handi-
cap them this year.

Each of the men are entering five
acres of corn. They are keeping ac-
count of the amount of labor, both of
men and horses, required in all opera-
‘uch as mamas. dragging, plant-

 

 

 

ing a yield of eighty-three bushels of
shelled corn per acre. Some of the
other contestants vowed he would not
beat them this year.

The cost of man and horse labor
are figured at thirty cents and fifteen
cents perhour respectively. There is
a great variation in cost figures. Last
year it cost one man $12 and another
$2.50 to plow their five acres. Some
men planted the five acres in one-
quarter day; others took a half-day. It
cost $1.50 in the first instance and
$3.00 in the latter. All but one man
used manure last year and five of the
eight used commercial fertilizer. While
the use of commercial fertilizer in-
creased the acre costs, still the men
who finished in first and second places
both used it.

Several companies, appreciating the
value of this work and endeavoring to
stimulate interest and zest in the con—
test have offered the following prizes:

First Prize.—-Cu1tipacker donated by
the International Harvester Company,
Chicago. .

Second Prize.——Forty-rod roll of
forty-seven-inch fence, donated by the
Keystone Steel and Wire Company, of
Peoria, Ill.

Third Prize.—One-half bushel of
Grimm alfalfa, donated by the Seed
Department of the Michigan State
Farm Bureau.

Fourth Prize—Half dozen Corn
King seed racks, donated by the Mart-
in Company, Des Moines, Iowa.

Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Prize each,
a book, “Corn and Corn Growing," by
Wallace & Bressman, donated by the
Wallace Publishing 00., Des Moines,
Iowa.

The Michigan Farmer, Detroit, is
offering a five-year subscription to the
man having the highest yield; a three—
year subscription to the man having
the second highest yield; a two—year
subscription to the man having the
third highest yield; and a one—year
subscription to each man producing
over seventy bushels of shelled corn
per acre.

The Michigan Crop Improvement
Association is offering a gold medal
to each man producing one hundred
bushels of shelled corn per acre; a sil—
ver medal to each grower producing
e1ghty-five to one hundred bushels per
acre; and a bronze medal to each man
producing seventy-five to eighty-five
bushels of shelled corn per acre.

The results of the contest and prize

winners will be announced during
Farmers’ Week at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, East Lansing, On Feb-
ruary 26, 1925. \

   

   

' EVERY time you put on a

more careful adherence to the

learned from experience that it is
more economical to save the sur-

to repair or rebuild property that
has rotted beyond repair. White-

WILL MOYER, bf Midland county,-
. always took pride in clean fields.
But a few Canada thistles strayed on
to his farm and before he was fully
aware of it, they were in full posses-
sion. Then he must be still about
clean» fields or else wear out various
and sundry hoes. One field especially
was‘a Cancel: rendezvous. In 1922, he
sowed it to Grimm alfalfa. In the first
cutting of 1923, a few thistles stuck
their" hoary heads abaVe the alfalfa,
but the second cutting very few could
be found and none of these venturing
to mature seed. In neither of the 1924
cuttings was there a thistle to be
found.

PROTECT TILE OUTLETS.

 

P ROTEC'T your tile outlets by driv-

Mayer found that two muskrats had
wedged into a. tile some seventy rods
from the outlet. Their bodies com-
pletely stopped the flow of water
through the tile.

The percentage of reactors is running

PARTRI DGE ARE SCARC E.

 

HERE is general agreement that

the Upper Peninsula, this fall, and
sportsmen’ s associations are giving a
good deal of attention to the subject.

The cause is not yet determined. Some
think it is due to predacious hawks,
owls, and other animals. Some think
it is due to over-hunting. Many sports-
men have expressed a. desire to close
the season entirely, but as the law
now is, the. State Conservation Com-
mission, which has been appealed to,
is powerless.

At a recent meeting, the Marquette
Sportsmen’s Association pledged its
members not to kill over ten birds
each and many regarding this as too
high a bag limit, have expressed an in-
tention of shooting no birds this sea—
son, in order that the flocks may have
an opportunity to re-establish them—
selves. It is feared that, if self-con-
trol is not exercised by hunters, the
partridge will go the way of the once
numerous passenger pigeons.

It seems desirable that the State
Conservation Commissioner be given
authority to act in such an emergency
as now confronts the partridge with-
out recourse to the large amount of
red tape that now controls the depart-
ment.

Q Do We Eat EnOugh Apples?

\Somr Intererfihg Fact: 072 Apple Consumption

By Prof. V.

OME interesting sidelights have
been thrown on certain phases of
the apple business. Perhaps the

—' most important of these is that on the

whole, people are not eating very many
For instance, an official in

that their average daily output of ap-
ples is between 600 and 700 bushels.
Now and then, when they feature ap-
ples in their windows, the output rises
to 900 or 950 bushels per day. This
is an average of only a bushel and a
quarter per day per stere, or a bushel
and three-quarters to two bushels. per

Fruit Growers'~Excha‘nge are popular-

ly thought of as being successful be-.

cause they fix prices, prevent compe-

tition, obtain favorable freight rates '

and prompt service, and because they
employ skilled salesmen. These may

all be functions of the organizations .
_-in question, but they are not the prin-

cipal functions. They succeed because
they realize that their big job is to
merchandize their product, which
means educating the consumer to de—
mand more of it and then seeing to it
that that demand is met by a continu—
ous supply of standard quality at mod-
erate prices.

In the meantime much can be done

 

 

The Producer Should be Cancerned in Increasing Apple Consumption.

day two or three times per month
when they feature apples.

When one stops to think of the num—
ber of people who daily trade at the
average total daily turn-over of one of
these stores, it doesn’t look as though
the nation’s digestion would be upset
by the quantity of apples we consume.
A Lansing restaurant uses twenty-five
bushels of apples per month. With
these it bakes its own apple pies and
makes its apple sauce and baked ap-
ples. It serves on an average of 700
meals per day, 4,900 per week, 21,000
per month. The twenty-five bushels
will average 150 fruits per bushel. At
that rate 3,750 apples are used per
month, one for each six meals that are
served. The average person is not
getting his “apple a day;” he’s getting
only half an apple.

Here is a. real problem for the pro-
ducer, or rather the producers’ organ-
ization. There is room for doubling,
a quadrupling of consumption. Obvi-
ously, neither the wholesaler nor the
retailer will undertake the task. It is
just as profitable for them to sell or-
anges or bananas or canned pineap-
ples. As a matter of fact, it is their
business to sell anything for which
there is a demand. Their job is to
satisfy demands, not create them. The
producer, and the producer alone, is
interested in increasing demand. If
it is done at all, he must do it. How?
That is not a question to be answered
here, but the point is emphasized that
it is one of the most important, if not
the most, important, marketing prob—
lems facing the fruit growers and
their organizations. '

Incidentally, it may be, pointed out
that it is neither new nor unsolvable.

to deal effectively with the apple
growers’ marketing problem and it
can be done by the growers them-
selves, either acting individually or to—
gether through their organizations.
The day has gone by when the apple
was regarded as more or less of a lux-
ury, to be bought at harvest, placed in
the cellar and consumed before New
Year’s. It has come to be a staple
article of food, not wanted in surplus
at harvest but in demand every day
in the year, just like sugar or coffee
or bread. The retailer, who knows all
this, merchandizes it accordingly.
These are conditions made possible
by modern methods of transportation,
storage and distribution of food prod-
ucts of many kinds. They are condi-
tions that cannot easily be changed.
It is the part of wisdom to adjust our
business to them.

the erection of the brass serpent, for

as does the stilling of the storm, that
God rules his own universe. Some
folk believe that nature takes care of
everything. The world runs itself. It
is like an engine which the engineer

started going, and leaped from. They

seem to think that 610th gone off
somewhere and is “letting the world
operate itself. No. Back of the order
of nature which We do see, is the
greater Order which we do not see.
You cannot have an intelligible world
without an intelligent God behind it.
When you see a well-ordered farm,
with fields well arrangedand yielding
heavily, no one may be in sight. But
you know the owner is not far away.
Farms do notoperate themselves. And

.WOr'ids do not run themselves. An

intelligent God watches over His unri-
verse.

0 be sure," God does not interfere

as often as some of us would like.

We would love to see Him enter the
scene, right the wrongs, straighten
the inequalities, level the mountains
of evil. But _He has marked out cer-
tain principles on which the world is
to run, and He adheres to them. If
we were slapped every time we did
wrong, we would do right out of fear.
If we were handed a gold piece every
time we did right, we would do right
for pay. It is best that we do it on
principle and on faith. The same
forces, too, that bring a storm which
tells trees and uproots crops, bring
the gentle rain that is worth a million
dollars to the wheat crop. The same
principle which controls the germs
which create disease also controls the
beneficial bacteria, which build up life.
This incident in the life of Christ——
though perhaps we should not call it
an incident—also bring home to us
this. Christ is the master-mariner.
Now the sea has always been a fav~
orite way of speaking of life. We
sing, “Jesus Savior, pilot me,” and,
“Let the lower lights be burning,” and,
“Throw out the life line.” There is
something powerful, terrible, and un-
certain about sailing on the sea. This
past summer, . when a large steel
trans-Atlantic liner was nearing the
American shore it met a storm which

burst in the portholes and flooded the—

staterooms, piling wreck and terror in
its path. The huge ship was but a
cork in the hands of the storm. And
this is a fitting symbol of life. Life is
fearful at times, and uncertain. Forces
play in it that we cannot control.
Science has as yet only touched the
fringe of things, and scientists say so.
We need a guide, a master-mariner, a
Savior, now, as much as ever in the
past. The people who think that the
modern man knows so much he can
dispense with God has much to learn.
Across the tossing seas of life men
still need to hear, “Peace, be still!”

In fact, there are reasons aplenty
for holding that we need Christ all

the more today than even in the past. '

Life is very intense. The calls and
demands are many, and the conse
quvnt moral and mental breakdowus
of modern life are many. The leaders
of one of the great denominations re-
cently devoted several hours, at their
national meeting, discussing the caus—
es of the many moral breakdowns in
the modern ministry. Why do so many
ministers go wrong, bringing disgrace
on the church and tragedy into their
own lives? Perhaps a. part of-the rea-
son lies in the speed, rivalry and use-
less ambitions of modern life. At any
rate, the voice of calmness which the
disciples heard long ago is needed

Gratitude was in the brief look of

face of Eve. She had opened her
mouth to speak when, without worn-

door. Bill whirled on his heel and
leaped.

"Lock the other door!" he shouted
as he slid the old—fashioned iron bolt
into place. “Eve. watch the window!"

There was an impact. as of a burly

The Little Farm

By Irma True Soper

Oh llttle farm In Michigan,
The farm where I was born—-

The farm of toll, and hard.won crops,
0f oats, and hay, and corn.

They scoff at you, dear little farm,
And say you did not yield

As do the farms of now-a-days,
With waving field on field!

You were composed, oh little farm
Of rocks, and sand, and brush,
And gullies wide; in“ thickets dense
Lived, undisturbed, the thrush.

But, just the same, old home of mine,
We played, and ate, and grew,

And learned in schools and colleges;
All this with thanks to ydu.

Six children roamed your stony hills,
Or helped their dad to plow

And wrest a living from your soil
With honest sweat of brow.

We were not rich, our little farm,
But happy all the day.

We hunted berries in the hedge,
We frolicked in the hay.

Our paths have led us far, since then,
The town has called, ’tis true,

But, little farm, we owe our thanks,
And doff our hate, to you!

 

 

Old King grunted as he moved to
the. right of the window, where he.
could swing a straight, axlike blow
with the table leg. There was little
danger that he would fail to hit hard
enough. Smith wondered how much
the fear of losing his gold nerved the
old man‘s arm.

Suddenly the room was filled with
the crash of falling glass and the
splintering of tortured wood. There
was an car-filling bump, and the house
shock as a stone. half the bigness of a.
man's trunk. struck the door.

“Black Pete!" exclaimed Bill. “He’s
the only one of the. gang that could
swing that rock!"

A stone the size. of a man’s fist
hurtled through the. window, now_
cleared of glass and sash. It was fol-
lowed by another and another. One
hit the Stovepipe and sent it cluttering
to the floor.

“I‘m all right!” came the voice of
Eve reassuringiy. “I’m behind the dish
cupboard when you need me!”

“There's a girl for ye!" King growl-
ed, half to himself. “Like her mother
was—jest like her mother was!”

The rain'ot‘ stones had ceased. From
outside came scraping sounds and
breathless whispers close up under the
window. Smith leaned forward and
thrust quickly, with his table leg.
There was a yell of pain, and as he
dodged back a stone whizzed past his

must leap out and give battle alone
there was a shout and a rush of bod—
ics through the window.

Bill brought his table leg down and
felt an upraised arm snap beneath it.
He. swung again, and heard Old Man
King grunt with the force of a. com-
panion blow. Somebody had Bill by
the legs, but he braced himself and
struck right and left in the darkness.-
Hands grasped the table log; ho
thrust and know that the end had
reached a. face. Then they were all
over him at once; it seemed, and he
was shoved backward, backward—
striking and claWing with his bare
hands. Sometimes on the floor, the
center‘of a biting, gouging heap of
men, he was forced steadily across the
room and toward the stove.

Out of the chaos of the melee there
came to Bill two thoughts. One was
that he was going over nearer to that
stove, where a bed of coals still glow-
ed, and the other was that the long,
sinewy arms of Black Pete Payshaw
were drawing tighter and tighter a.

.. suffocating band about his ribs.

Now he was against the stove.
There Was a smell of burning cloth.
A man clung to each arm and forced
him back, while his breath went slowly
out under the pressure of Payshaw’s
grip. Suddenly there was a scream of

“You saved all of us, I calc'late," he
replied as he rose and went to the

sat up. He looked slowly around the
r.oom

“Mebbo you get the gold, Bill Smith,

“I don’t want to hear nothing out of
you but one word, and that’s going to
be ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ when I get done talk-

him. He reached into a pocket and

The Highest Quality Shotgun Shells
Ever Produced

EMINGTON Game Loads are just two years old. Yet there are

thousands and thousands of sportsmen the country over who

will shoot no other shell. There are more and more Game Loads

being bought and shot each day—the strongest possible endorsement
of their superior shooting quality.

Specific Loads for Specific Game plus Qualitywthere you
have. the whole story of the success of Remington Game Loads.
The right load for duck, the right load for squirrel, the right load
or quail and so on down the list.

And by "right load” we mean not only the right size and amount
of shot, but the right velocity, the right pattern, the right pene-
tration for the particular game. Every Remington Game Load is
scientifically loaded to a uniform standard of velocity, pattern and
penetration, all with moderate recoil.

Remington made it possible for sportsmen to buy shotgun shells
with the same confidence they have been buying Remington rifle and
pistol cartridges for over sixty years. Leaving it up to Remington to
settle every detail—including the kind or powder and the weight
of powder. ,1. * *

The Remington Game Load idea is the biggest forward step in shotgun ammu-
nition since Remington produced the first successful loaded shell back in the 80’s.

But the idea alone would not have swept from coast to coast as it has without
the backing of first and finest quaIity behind it.

Remington Game loads are loaded in Nitro Club Shells.

They are loaded with the finest American-made smokeless powders. The finest
brass bases, the finest battery cups, primers, shell bodies, wadding and shot that
108 years’ experience in firearms and ammunition can produce.

They are made Wetproof by the patented and exclusive Remington Process.

They are inspected and tested as are no other shells in the world.

A new Smokeless Shell at a lower price

HERE are many men who want a moderately

priced smokeless shell for ordinary shooting.

Up to now they have had to buy either black
powder shells, shells loaded with a mixture of black
and smokeless powders, or unknown brands of “smoke-

less” shells of doubtful origin and shooting quality.

Remington has an obligation to these sportsmen—
no less than to the men who want the very finest
shells—Remington Game Loads.

So Remington has produced the “Economy” Loads.
They are loaded with genuine smokeless powder—

the No. 2 Smokeless made by DuPont, Hercules and
Dead Shot.

They are made Wetproof:

They are carefully made and carefully inspected.
That is the Remington way of doing things.

They are good, honest shells—the very best that

 

 

 

 

can be produced at the price.

had proved. his good faith, and of what

else could the old man want to talk? ,

Smith followed out to the very edge of
the cliff that dropped fifty feet straight
into the waters of Lake Champlain.
Merton King halted and faced him.

Stars had come out, and the old

man’s form was outlined dimly. Be- '

yond four miles of water lay the Ver-
mont shore, a black and ragged belt
between sky and lake. Bill, gazing to-
ward the hard land whence he had
come, wondered vaguely if King had
brOught him out there to reveal some
reason why he could not marry Eve.
The lassitude of reaction was upon
him. It seemed along time before
the other spoke. _

“Look ye here, Bill Smith.” King

 

fished a stubby candle from his pocket
and lighted it, sheltering the flame
with his hands. "Look dOWn into that
crack in the rights right in front of
ye.”

Bill'knelt and peered downward. A
vcrdigris-dimmed copper kettle, the
riveted cover of which had been
wrenched partly free, rested in the
crevice. The kettle was full to the
xery brim with glittering gold double-
eagles. They glowed and burned. and
seemed to smile in the candlelight. In—
xoluntarily the young man’s hand
went forth.

“Wait!” It was the cry of a man
long suffering and sore hurt. “Lift the
beauties out, Bill, and set ’em right
up on the edge of the ledge where we
can both see ’em. That's it.”

Smith felt his muscles strain and
creak as he swung the heavy kettle to
a little pinnacle of rock. Old Man
King bent forward and shaded his bit
of candle sowthat the light fell on the
shining gold pieces.

“Look mighty nice and bright, don’t
they, Bill Smith?” His voice was low
and he forced each word out as though:
it hurt him. “They ain’t, Bill Smith.
Every dirty one of ’em’s corroded and‘
rusty. You can’t touch ’em without
getting it onyourself, Bill Smith. They
ain’t fit ‘to touch. For why? ’Cause

Vote “No”

OnxThe Proposed Income Tax.
' Amendment

THE REASONS MULTIPLY

It would destroy the ver basis for the present
Railroad Taxes, and Public tility Taxes generally,
for which the people fought for years in the days of
Pingree, and enable them all to escape all taxes, ex-
cept those levied locally under the general law, until
this pr0posed amendment, if adopted, be repealed or.
amended by the people, at a general election.

‘Up to Pingree’s time the State Constitution re-
quired a uniform rule for assessing taxes, as follows:

“Sec. 3. The Legislature shall provide by law a uniform rule
of taxation, except on property paying specific taxes, and taxes
shall be levied on such property as shall be prescribed by law.”

After a long fight, it was amended by adding the
following clause: ,

“Provided that the Legislature shall provide by law a uni-
form rule of taxation for such property as shall be assessed
by the State Board of Assessors, and the rate of taxation on
such property shall be the rate which the State Board of As-
sessors shall ascertain and determine is the average rate
levied upon other property upon which ad valorem taxes are
assessed for State, County, Township, School and Municipal
purposes.”

That clause is there today, and has been sustained
by the courts, after protracted litigation. It is the
only constitutional basis for millions of dollars of rail-
road and other public utility taxes, annually, which
will have no basis Whatever if this proposed amend-
ment be ado ted, for it puts the prOposed income tax
provision I THE PLACE OF THE ABOVE PRO-
VISION, NOT B‘ELOW IT. The effect is substan-

tially to reduce railroad taxes and other public utility
taxes, which form the resource‘for a large part of
the Primary School Fund.

Do the farmers want this gap filled by additional
real estate taxes?

0

This proposed amendment is beyond belief, I agree. Several here would
not believe it, when this discovery was made, until a trusted man was sent
to Lansing to examine the proposed amendment. However crazy a
proposal it is, it has been put under way and there is no way to escape
its effect, if the proposed amendment be adopted.

I have the written opinion of a well—known and high class lawyer, a'
copy of which will be mailed on request. It gives the whole story and the
writers have verified the facts. '

A sorry mess the State will be in if the proposed amendment be adopted.
TAKE WARNING, EVERY TAXPAYER.

Uses for Burlap in the’Homc
By Leno C. A/zler: /

BOUT the most useful article one

can have in the home is plenty

of burlap. Have you ever paused
to think in how many ways you can
use just a common old “gunny sack?”
Often one can get these sacks and
other pieces of burlap for nothing, or
pick them up from the dump heap.

You know that burlap is a strong
heavy cloth made of flax, hemp, jute
or manila, all excellent wearing mate-
rials. It used to be made in one weave
only, which was very coarse and un-
sightly, and only came in its natural
tan-coffee color, but now it may be
purchased in many weaves ranging
from coarse to very fine. It may also
be had in nearly any color or shade,
and may be bought from ten to twenty
cents a yard, being usually forty inch-
es wide.

I know of no other material which
is useful for so many purposes, nor
anything that will stand so much
rough wear. For any kind of cushion
covers it is excellent, either for indoor
or outdoor use. The covers may be
made as plain as possible or as fancy
as desired, and either make useful and
pretty gifts. The fancy ones may be
stenciled, using a suitable design, that
may also be used on a scarf, curtain,

and other furnishings of burlap. Emw

broidered burlap pillows are very at-
tractive, and the material is easy to
work on. Any design wanted may be
appliqued on burlap, too, and such a
pillow is always attractive.

For interior decoration burlap is Win-
ning more and more favor, and its
decorative possibilities are almost in-
numerable. In out of doors studios
and summer cottages it makes an ideal
wall covering and may be decorated
in almost any way desired. For por-
tiers I have found nothing more suit-
able, and if one cannot purchase the
cloth in the color desired, they can
dye the common tan material any
shade they wish. A variety of screens
can be made from burlap and may be
made very fancy, with stencilling, em-
broidering, painting or appliquing, or
left very plain to- harmonize with any
room and decorations. For window
screensand sun protection burlap is
excellent, being porous enough to let
the air through, yet affording enough
protection from the sun. Dainty and
novel curtains may be made from just
old gunny sack trimmed with bright
colors. These are especially nice for
summer time, and are as cool as the
finest scrim.

If several coats of paint are applied
over a burlap surface a pretty and
durable floor covering may be made.
I find that these burlap carpets always
look clean and bright after being mop-
ped or swept. Nothing is better to put
underneath carpets or matting than a
layer of burlap. Anyone can make
prettyrugs from any bit of burlap,
dying them any color, and working
designs on them with warn. You will
laugh at the suggestion that pretty
spreads and table covers can be made
from the old gunnysacks in your barn,
but try it. If you don’t want them
the original color, dye them some soft
shade that will harmonize with your
other furnishings, and bind the edges
neatly, then embroider, applique or
stencil designs on your covers, and you
will marvel at the beautiful things you
can make.

Good serviceable work aprons for
garden and out-of-door work, are made
from burlap. Pretty little play frocks

for the children can be made from
burlap, too, and nothing is better for
the masquerade costume. Just open
a gunnystack and bind the edges and
you will have the most useful duster
for summer you ever had, and you can
even make good dust bags for your
best clothes from some discarded
sacks.

The men find it useful for wagon
and stack covers. When I was at a
loss for a covering for my hot—bed. I
thought of the useful stack of burlap
put away in a closet, and found it
served excellently. The use-s of bur-
lap, made from exactly the same ma-
terial as the old gunnysacks we see
so often thrown away, are legion.

Don’t Catch cold

And that was awkward, too,

For when the parson rose to pray,
Our Mary cried “Ka—Choo.”

If the surface is solid, not veneered,
cover the dent in wbod with small
pieces of blotting paper dipped in hot
water and apply the tip of a heated
poker to the topmost piece of paper.
Repeat as many times as may be nec‘

fibers to swell to their original dimen-
sion. This remedy is only efficient
when the dent is made by a blow or

are gouged out.

LIKE to use this little rhyme at

this time of year. It impresses the
lesson-that colds really are catching.
The common cold, at this season, caus-
es more disability than any other form
of illness. It is hard to avoid it. There
is no quarantine on “colds” so con-
tagion is everywhere. When you go
to school, church, lodge, a movie, or
on a shopping trip you are constantly
liable to exposure.

You can get some immunity by
keeping your'own health at the top
notch. Sleep in the fresh air of "a
porch or thoroughly ventilated room,
accustom yourself to cold air, dress
according to the weather, being care-
ful not to over—dress, however, main-
tain nouriShment- by eating a varied
diet of digestible food that includes
some fruit or green vegetables every
day. These things help your resist-
ance.

Have you} never noticed how a cold
is almost sure to' “run through the
family?” This is not absolutely nec-
essary. Let the person with the cold
be very careful to “cover up each
cough and sneeze.” Let him quaran-
tine himself as much as possible, and
there will be a great deal less of
“catching cold.” When you see ,9.

The very best' treatment for a bad
cold is a day or two in bed. This is
especially important during. the fever-
ishstage audit is safe to say that one
day in bed at that stage will shorten
the duration of the cold 3. full week.
Use separate dishes, towels and

FRACTURED LEG SWELLS.

 

Nearly three months ago in starting
a gasoline engine I broke the bone
just above my second toe. It was slow
in healing and my leg was swollen to
my body. Now, however, the wound
is healed and there is no soreness
whatever, but if I use my leg at all it
swells badly. One doctor says to use
it, another says, lie on your back until
all swelling is gone. What would you
do?——L. E. G

In these days of science there is no
need of guesswork. Have an X—Ray
picture taken. If it shows good un-
ion go ahead and use your leg. If the
swelling persists, have your doctor
make a. careful examination of your
urine, and also have him watch your
heart action. ‘

RINGWORM SORES DO NOT HEAL’.

 

My little girl, age three, has ring-
worms of the head. I have used io-
dine, sulphur, a. good mange cure, and
red precipitate, but the sores stay all
the time.,—Anxious Mother.

After reading of the many severe
antiseptics you are using at such fre-
quent intervals, I ‘am not surprised
that the ringworm sores on your
child’s head do not heal. It occurs to
me that you may have killed the par-
asites but are not givingthe skin a
chance to heal. By over-doing the
treatment with strong antiseptics it is
quite possible to convert'the' lesion of
ringworm into a chronic ulcer. Let
the treatment rest a few days and you
will see signs of healing. , . ‘

wan-r BROADCASTING PRO-
' s. TECTED.

ELEGATES to the Third National
Radio Conference with the De-
partment of Commerce, were not
unanimously enthusiastic in favor of
the super-power broadcasting stations
as a. permanent proposition. There
was a feeling among the delegates that
the rights of the farmers and other
rural people, who make more practical
use of the radio than any other group,
should be carefully safe-guarded in any
movement tending to a' change in the
system of broadcasting. ,

RURAL DOCTORS NEEDED.

 

HE exodus of doctors from the

rural districts portends imminent
danger to the health of the people of
the farming communities, said Dr.
Charles P. Emerson, dean of the
school of medicine of Indiana Univer-
sity, at the fourthannual convention
of the American Red Cross, in Wash-
ington. He declared this loss ‘of coun-
try doctors was the “most serious
thing in medical practice today." An
appeal was made to the Red Cross to
aid, with its nurses, in turning the
tide countryward. What the rural
communities need, according to Dr.
Emerson, is not only education in mat-
ters of health, but actual care of the
sick.

OTWITHSTANDING the vote of
the executive committee of the

withdraw its request to President
Coolidge for the appointment of a fact

secretary of agriculture, it has been
indicated from the White House that
the President has not given up his
idea of appointing a commission to
investigate the agricultural situation
and make recommendations for legis-
lative action designed to aid farmers,

her mother and me losing my wife. It’s
the price of my rheumatiz and little
Eve living here in Greensboro with
everybody remembering that her fath~
er’s a jailbird, Bill. It’s rusty, Bill,
and rusty gold is almighty dangerous
for a high-spirited gal like little Eve.
" You seen her tonight—how she fought
for us. Now, I’m agoing to give you
this here rusty gold, Bill, to do jest
what ye like with. Blow it in, or keep
it, or buy gewgaws for little Eve. It
don’t make no difference to me, Bill.
It’s too' heavy for my old shoulders,
and I got done with it!” Old Man
King ceased talking. The candle had.
burned down to his hand. It sputtered
and went out, leaving the picture of a
mass of yellow coins stamped on Billl
Smith’s brain. Many seconds passed.

“I calc—late you meant what you R00 Fl N G
said, Mister King, about me doing
what I wanted to with the gold ?" ask-
ed Bill, taking a step nearer the kettle.

“Every word of it, Bill. I don’t want
that gold no more at all!”

Bill Smith put out his foot and
shoved hard. The copper kettle tipped
and rocked. He shoved again. Down
it went, over the edge of the cliff, and
an instant later they heard a great
splash from the lake, fifty feet below.

“I ain’t going to take chances with
anything liable to hurt Eve,” said Bill
simply.

“I was hoping you wouldn’t, Bill.”‘
The old man spoke with equal sim-.
plicity. “I got to go shut up the hens!
now, but mebbe you better go help!
Eve fix that hand she got hurt in the
shindy.”

“Gosh, yes!” Bill Smith started to-
ward the house. Then he paused as
he heard Old Man King chuckle with
supreme content. His voice came from
near the henhouse:

“Say, Bill, that money you kicked
into the lake was counterfeit. Our
lawyers swiped the real stuff on us.
But the idee was right jest the same,
and I’m durned proud of ye for a son—

WHEN the little boy came back
from the creek with his face
dripping with water, how Rolly Rabbit
and Bruin did laugh. Even the little

wasn’t a bit the way he had been

‘ Dear Uncle Frank:

I have been a silent reader of the

boys’ and girls’ letters, and have read

with interest the discussion on bobbed
hair. I ’ think Harold and his chum,

' Carl, are the old men of the class if
firthey are so against bobbed hair as

they pretend to be. (I don’t think
they are).

wrote a very fine letter. I for one,
agree with him in what he thinks
about bobbed hair. Willard Jones also
wrote a fine letter. He is another
friend for the modern girl.

With best regards to Uncle Frank
and cousins, Ivam, Reginald Hodges,
Wyandotte, Mich.

You apparently are a boy friend of
the boys who favor the modern girl.
Personally, I don’t think it makes
much difference if a girl is so-called
modern or not, as long as she is nice.
Being nice never gets out of date.

Dear Uncle Frank:

I think this is the jolliest circle. I
am sure our debates on the bobbed-
hair, knickers and paint questions do
not make it any the less merry. . I
just love to hear other people’s opin-
ions on things, that is, if they can
show they have any reason for haying
the opinion other than, “It’s all right
because I do it,” or, “It’s not right be-
cause mother says so.”

Yes, boys and girls, I’m a flapper
who has bobbed hair, but does not
wear knickers because she hasn’t any.

  
 

.But can a flapper do anything be-

I can say they certainly do. I am not

to school, too. I can wash clothes,
bake bread, can fruit, and do every-
thing. I have taken care of about 200
young chickens this summer, and I
have canned about a hundred quarts
of fruits and vegetables. I also do
most of my. own sewing. Now, tell
me, won’t we flappers make just as
good wives and mothers as lots of the
httle “angel girls,” many of whom
don’t do anything but read?—Your
niece, Caroline Cooke, Tecumseh,
Mich.

You are ambitious, all right, but I
don’t think that bobbing hair and
other fiapperish things necessarily give
a girl ambition. There are some “flap-
per” girls who do nothing but read
and such “angel girl” stunts.

Dear Uncle Frank: ,
About the discussion of books: I
like to read very well, but I don’t- have
very much time, because I take five
subjects this year. .
I like booksof adventure and ro-

The books that I have read have'

helped me in my studies by making
me familiar with new words.

We have book reports at school, and
I think they are a. good thing. We
have to choose a book from a given
list of authors, and we are not allowed
to report twice on the same author’s
book. So, by the time we graduate,
we will have read a book from» nine
different authors, whose books are
considered good.

I am' glad that the Merry Circle
Fund has been started, and I am send-

A Friendly Criticism

Dear Uncle Frank, Cousins and All:

I am a Merry Circler, and am glad
a Merry Circle Fund has been started
which is to be used for a good purpose.

I am offering the following as friend-
ly criticism of “Our Boys’ and Girls’ ”
page. I do not think the letters on
this page, as a usual thing, a‘re any-
thing to be proud of. I have been
“inwardly seething” that some of my
M. C. companions fail to entertain no
higher strain of thought than just
those concerning such common, thread
bare questions as, “Bobbed Hair and
Knickers,” “Rudeness of Boys to
Girls,” (or vice versa). It seems to
me our page is not the place for ex-
hibitions of higgling, and I would sug-
gest that the higglers hibernate and
oversleep long enough, that the time
afforded for obtaining new topics for
higgling purposes, would be short.
They could have a great time higgling
about these topics in their dreams!
Certain Merry Circlers have whistled
for a Chanticleer to awaken the sleep-
ers. I would 'whistle for a whole
brass band, for I think it is high time
the M. C.’s (others included), woke up
to the fact that the topics they so con~
stantly refer to are “past history.”

For my part, I should like to read

descriptions of the country in which
my cousins and M. C. companions
live, so I could feel better acquainted
with them; or a few jokes, funny in—
cidents which have. happened; perhaps
the “most embarrassing moments,” or
“what made me so mad.”

How about it cousins, uncle, and M.
C’s? Let me know your Opinions, then
if you and I do not agree, I’ll keep
“mum.” How’s that?

Perhaps this letter is too long, and
is uncalled for, but I hope it is not en—
tirely unwelcome. It was not written
to offend, therefore if it offends, I
apologize.

If this letter fails to go adrift on the
“Styx,” (only now-a-days it’s coal) and
reaches the “Happy Hunting Ground”
of the printing press, it may call forth
a soundly boxed ear, but if it should,
I shall be “Biblical” and turn the oth-
er cheek! I presume, Uncle Frank,
that you believe in the system of)
“spare the rod and spoil the child.”
Now, cousins, if I am not heard from
again, you will know the rod was not
made of steel, iron, gold, nor silver,
but of genuine old-fashioned wood, and
kindled such a fire that this “market-
tle” boile‘d dry—Your cousin. and
niece, Wilma Fry, M. C., Ithaca, Mich.

Book reading is a good habit which
should be kept up through life.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

Here I am again. I have written
to you five times and never have had
one printed yet.

We have five little pigs. My sisters,
brothers and I wanted to tame them,
so We took shelled corn and got them,
to come and eat out of our hands. We
were all afraid that they would not
follow us and be tame. But one day
I was sitting on the porch cutting off
the ends from string beans. I sat
there, with my feet on the steps, talk-
ing to my sister, when a pig came up
and grabbed my toe and began pulling
it. He made me spill my beans. I
felt angry at first, but the children
began laughing, so I did. Now the
pigs follow papa all around; when he
comes from milking we never have to
watch for him because the pigs are
following Him and making an awful
noise.

It rained last night and there was a
lot of water on the ground in puddles.
My little brother, three years old,
thought he would ride a pig, so he
went up and sat down on one’s back.
The pig started up and my brother
went into a mud puddle. My, but he
was wet. Mamma says the next thing
she knows the pigs will be coming
into the house.

I am a Merry Circler, but I have lost
my pin. Can I get a pin for ten cents
now?—-Your loving niece, Ella Brindw
ley, M. C., Allegan, Mich. ,

Yes, pigs get to be real’ pets some—
times, especially when they learn
where the feed comes from. You can
still get an M. C. pin for ten cents if

Letter Scramble

. E have had'rquite a few requests

. for another Scramble. This may
be due to the .fact that the chafing

date in the last Scramble was wrongly
printed, and therefore many who fwant-

' ed to did not take part in it. .

For those whoh‘a've never tried to
get correspondents among the merry
Circlers in- this novel way, I will re-
peat the directions. ',

First, write a letter to “Dear Merry
Circler,” “Dear Unknown Friend,” or
some other similar title. Then ad-
dress an envelope to yourself and put ’

a stamp on it. Next, address angeng
velope, preferably a larger one, to
Uncle Frank, Michigan Farmer, De-
troit, Michigan, and put the words
“Correspondence Scramble" in lower
left hand corner of the envelope. 7

If you are a Merry Circler under
twelve years of age, put the letter B
after the words Correspondence
Scramble. If you are between twelve
and eighteen, use the letter A.

Place your letter and the envelope
addressed to you in the other envelope '
and mail so that the letter will reach
its destination on or before October
31, as the letters will be “scrambled"
then. In scrambling, we put ydur let-
ter in another’s envelope and "some-
body else’s letter in yours, and send
them out. If you have any preference
as to correspondence with a boy or
girl, state so on a separate slipfl <

Don’t forget to stamp both of your
envelopes. v

 

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

The part of the Bible which I gave
in my last letter was the fifth verse
of chapter twenty-two in Deuteronomy.

I may as well say that I violently
disagree with Caroline Cooke on the
subject of dresses being "unsanitary.”
Knickers also are very much the same
as golf trousers. ‘

The right to vote really pointed the
way to the wearing of knickers. It
was not far enough, and we came near
to having a woman running for presi-
dent. The government of some of the
states has rested for short intervals

OW the Farmer

 
  
 

 

' Under This Administration ‘

istration, even after the reaction from high war
prices, the farm crops of the United States were

_ D URING the last year of the second Wilson admin—

‘ _ worth $10,197,092,0.QO.

, _ During the first year of the Harding-Coolidge admin-

' istration their value shrunk to $6,410,229,000.

During the last year of the last Democratic adminis-
tration, ivestock and livestock products had a value of
$7,419,000,000.

During the first year of the Harding-Coolidge ad—
ministration," their value fell to $5,468,000,000.

During the last year of the last Democratic admin-
istration, the average acre of farm crops was worth
$35.74.

During the first year of the Harding-Coolidge ad-
ministration, the average value of an acre of farm
crops was $14.45.

Although proportionate production has been main-

tained, the increase in the value of crops and of live-

stock and livestock products during the later years of
the Harding-Coolidge administration has been so small
as to be trifling.

Every piece of legislation enacted during the Hard~
ing-Coolidge admimstration intended for the aid or
relief of the farmer, has been passed through the co-
operation of Democrats and independent western Re-
publicans, and over the opposition of Republican lead-
ers, particularly Speaker Gillett and Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts, Republican Floor Leader Longworth,
of the House, and Representative Winslow, of Massa-
chusetts, Chairman of the House Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce.

On every piece of legislation of interest to agricul—
ture, the proportion of favorable votes by Democrats
has been greater than that of Republlcans, and that of
opposing votes has been smaller than among Republl-
cans, and this has been true of both House and Senate!

600,000 Farmers
In Fifteen States
Ruined Since 1921

Under the Harding-Coolidge adminis-
tration's ruinous policy of deflation, of a
prohibitive tariff and commercial isola-
tion, shutting off export markets for the
surplus products of American farms, more
than 25 per cent, one in four, of the farm-
ers in the States west of the Mississippi
River have been paupcrized, either by
bankruptcy proceedings, by voluntarily
surrendering their farms and homes to
their creditors, or by becoming economic
serfs to those creditors.

In fifteen States, 600,000 farmers have
been economically ruined since 1921! The
figures are from the Department of Agri-
culture’s Official reports, under the pres—
ent Republican Secretary. They apply
only to January 1, 1924; if bankruptcies

‘ during 1924 were added, the total would
be even more appalling, for during the
first six months of 1924 there were 342
bank failures in States west of the Mis-
sissippi River, and they reflect the plight
of the farmer in the agricultural and
stock-raising States of that section.

During the last three years of the sec-
ond Wilson administration, 1918 to 1920,
, inclusive, there were only 189 bank fail-
ures in the entire country.

Heavy Decline In
Buying Power Of
Farmer’s Dollar

Figures prepared by the Joint Commis-
sion (Congressional) of Agricultural ln-
quiry and by Henry (1. W’allacu Secre-
tary of Agriculture in the Harding-(tool—
idge administration, picture the serious
plight of the farmer.

The. purchasing power of the farmer’s
dollar represents what he gets for the
products of the farm he sells and what
he pays for food and other necessaries of
life which he must buy.

From 1913 to 1919. under a Democratic
administration and Democratic tariff, the
farmer’s dollar was worth: 111 1913, 100
cents; in 1914, 105 cents: in 1915, 103
cents; in 19l6, 97 cents; in 1917, 107
cents; in 1918, 112 cents; in 1919, 112
cents. These are the figures of the Agri—
culture Commission, whose study went
only to 1920.

Secretary \Vallam: brought, them
through 1922. In 1021, the firstyear of
the lrlarding—(iloolidge administration, the
farmer’s dollar was worth only 84 cents,
and in 1922, only 89 cents.

In 1923, because 01' the increased prices
for clothing, fuel, farm implements and
other things the farmer must buy, meas-
ured in other than food and farm prod-
ucts, the purchasing power was only 59.5
cents.

YOU KNOW THE BAN‘DED ones. ‘

 

I ALWAYS :keep a box of .legbands

handy. The box contains a lot of
spiral colored bands and others made
of aluminum and marked with num-
Before I sold any broilers or
roasters I went out with the chicken
crook and a pocketful of spiral bands.
After observing the Barred Rock Cock-
erels on the range, I snagged those
that I wished to: keep for further ob-

' servation and slipped colored spiral-

bands ‘on them. For the cockerels of
the American breeds I use bands of
the size advertised for Asiatic fowls.
Then there is less, danger of the bands

i becoming tight and shutting off the

circulation in the foot.

Did you ever decide“ to sell most of
your old hens in the fall after they
had been running free range on the
farm with a lot of early hatched pul-
lets? About the first thing you find
some of the hens have been through
the moult and look like pullets. Then
you kn’ow you must sell the two—year‘
old hens as they probably will not pay
very well, with the exception of a few
of the best breeders. If the birds have
no hands it is difficult to tell their
ages. In culling, the older the hens
the more rigid culling they need. If
the birds are not toe punched or band-
ed it is difficult to do the best culling
and make a satisfactory job of market-
ing the surplus. '

If you have spiral bandspf two c011
ors it will do to mark three ages of .
birds. Each year the pullets can be?
left without bands. Those that are
held over can be marked with red
bands one year. If they are held over
another year the band can be changed
to blue. Then you always know that
pullets are unbanded, year-old hens
have red bands and hens older than
that have blue bands showing they are
extra fine as breeders. In culling for
market the blue-banded birds will us-
ually go first, as they will probably be
too old to be of value to sell as breed-
ers and you will have new stock com-
ing on to replace them. Most poultry-
men will not need many blue bands,
as only a limited number of hens will
be held that long.

If birds are trap-nested it is neces-
sary to use numbered bands. Even
when they are not trap-nested the in-
dividual band number helps to mark
certain birds and adds a. little interest
to the management of the flock. In a
few months you associate certain num-
bers with certain hens and learn a lot
about the birds. It is often possible
to pick up points about heavy winter
layers without the trap-nest, just by
associating the numb-er with a. cer-
tain bird that is often seen on the nest
on cold winter days.

When other breeders buy stock they
appreciate it banded, if only with the
low-priced colored " spiral bands. It
helps them to keep track of the birds
they have purchased, even after turn-
ing them loose in their own free range
flock. I find that buyers of cockerels
always appreciate having a band slip-
ped on each bird so they will not con-
fuse the new birds with their own
stock—R. G. Kirby.

WINTER FOOD FOR BEES.

 

Please give me a. recipe for making
a food for bees during the winter.
How much would it take for a medi-
um-sized swarm?—C. H. H.

The best food that you can give
bees for their winter stores is gran-
ulated sugar syrup. Use about two
parts of sugar to one part of water by
measure. Dissolve the sugar in the
water and bring it to a boil and skim.
This is then ready to feed as soon’ as
it\cools enough so you can bear your
hand in it. - - '

An extra hiya

In twenty-four hours if the syrup is ‘

and put back again. Feed only in tlié‘

A good laying mash can be made of .

100 pounds 'each' of ground oats, ground
corn, middlings, bran and meat scrap.
If you have plenty of sour milk'to
feed the hens, reduce the meat scrap
one-half. Equal parts oflcracked corn
and wheat makes an ideal fall scratch
grain ration. You can obtain a very
practical bulletin on poultry feeding

. by addressing the M. A. 0. Experiment

Station, East Lansing. '

 

DISINFECTING THE HENHOUSE.

 

Can you tell me what to use in
cleaning my henhouse and whatJto
give my hens? They have some dis-
ease. They don’t 100k healthy. They
get lame in the legs and ‘back and
finally they can’t walk, and then die
after a. while—Mrs. C. G .

Remove all litter and sweep' doWn

the walls and spray the house ’with

one of the commercial coal‘a'tar d‘isin— ‘

fectants. Paint the roasts with strong
disinfectant or the old engine oil drain-
ed from a crank case. This will ide-
stroy red mites. Remove all portable
equipment in the house, such as" the
nests and feed hoppers. Give them a.
thorough cleaning in the sun and then
spray to destroy the mites or disease
germs in the cracks and crevices; .
Hens that are‘lame and thin may
have tuberculosis. The greyish spots
on the liver are an additional symp-
tom. This cannot be cured in fowls
and the sick birds should be removed
promptly from the flock. If you have
a large and valuable flock of poultry
it will pay to have a. veterinarian’in—
spect the birds and make recommend-
ations. "

 

MATING DUCKS.

 

I have White Pekin duck hens two
years old. Can I keep them another
year? How long can one keep ducks
for breeding? Would it be inbreeding
too much to keep my own drakes this
year?»—Mrs. H. B.

Commercial duck raisers usually re-
place the bulk of their breeding stock
each year because the ducks lay the
most eggs during the first year. But
two-year-old ducks often produce more
thrifty ducklings than younger breed-
ing stock. Some duck breeders retain
fine breeding stock until three or four
years 'old, but it is not the uSual
custom. '

On commercial duck farms it is us-
ually the custom to obtain new drakes
each year and avoid inbreeding as
much as possible. If you have strong
vigorous breeding stock you might
have good results with your own
drakes, but it is safer not to inbreed.

It is estimated that during the past
year live stock shipping" associations
in the United States "handled over
$162,000,000 worth of 'stock.‘_ ’ '

a-UTSTAN-DING among the matters
discussed at the American Dairy
Federation meeting at Milwaukee, the
week of the Dairy Show, was the
movement now under way to start a
nation-wide Campaign to increase con-
sumption of‘dairy products especially
button, It Was a live topic at nearly
every" meeting of the allied dairy or-
ganizations. The American Guernsey
Cattle Breeders’ Club especially em-
phasized the need of improving the
quality and extending the consump-
tion of dairy products. '
This, movement has taken definite

"' shape in the hands of a self-organized

committee of the wholesale butter
trade, known as the National Butter
Producers’ Educational Committee,
with W. S. Moore, of Chicago, chair-
man. I _ I M

It is proposed to advertise extensive—
ly in daily papers, the expense to be
met 'with funds raised by the butter
,trade. The assistance of the depart-
ment of agriculture is being sought
in securing information as to the food

value and other qualities of dairy ‘~

porducts. .
Think They Have Enough Legislation.

At a. meeting of the National Milk
Producers’ Association the sixty—five
Minnesota dairy cooperatives joined
the national organization. A resolu—
tion ‘ was also adopted declaring
against government subsidies to pro-
mote business or any further‘control
of cooperatives by government. It
was the sentiment of the meeting that
the Capper-Volstead cooperative mar-
keting act was sufiicient to meet the
legislative requirements of the cooper-
atives. This indicates that the organ-
ized milk producers will oppose the
Yoakum—Curtis and Williams bills.

and departmenudf agriculture has
received cabled advices from London
She Wing that the London market for
butter is firm and approximately ten
cents a 'pOund above the New York
market. It is evident from this that
in this country we are below the world
prices on butter, due to a temporary
surplus.

We Must Make Better Butter.

This situation makes a basis not
only for the campaign to increase the
sale of dairy products in this country,
but also for an export movement which
has already started. Several good-
sized shipments of butter are now en
route to London.

The difficulty in breaking into the
London market with American butter
is the fact that only the very best
quality is acceptable, owing to the
superior quality of Danish butter with
which we come into competition. As
only a small percentage of American

hbutter reaches the Danish score, the
quantity suitable for export is limited.
It is probable that American butter
producers will find that they can in:
crease the demand for their products
quite as much by improving the qual-
ity as by advertising.

Can You Beat It?

Representatives of the oleomargar-
ine institute went to Milwaukee during
the Dairy Show to protest against the
exhibits showing .the differences in
food value of butter and“ oleomargar—
ine. The National Dairy Council show-
ed afiimals fed on butter and on oleo.

Finding, that protests were of no
avail they threatened, to get out an
injunction against the exhibits, but
came back to Washington without ac-

complishing anything.

'Presidenat Send: Message.
In opening the meeting of, the Amer-

ican Dairy-,Fefiemtion, former Gover-

from the White House in which Pres— ,

ident Coolidge said: “The present-day
dairy interest of America, with its ped-
igreed stock, its sanitary and highly
organized establishments for caring for
the cows and their products, its em-
ployment of scientific industrial meth-
ods and of the most efi‘icient market-
ing procedures, has seemed to me the
last work in agricultural organization.
Because it has enlisted the best abili-
ties and adopted the methods which
specialized experience and scientific
investigations has demonstrated, it
has come to be one of the most pros-
perous and stable branches of agricul-
ture. It has given to the dairying
communities better farms, better farm-
ing, and a more contented and pro-
gressive farming community. Its de-
velopment and accomplishments con—
stitute an object lesson in the possi-
bilities which are open to the nation’s
agriculture.”

SOLVING THE SIRE PROBLEM.

 

AST spring we found ourselves in

need of a new sire to head our
herd at “Forest Grove Farm.” I am
like hundreds of dairymen, I want the
best producing sire to head my herd
that I can find, yet I have found good
stock costs money. Each time I in-
troduce new blood I try to get some-
thing that is a little better than what
I had.

I was making some inquiries when
a friend, who is a breeder of fine cat-
tle, offered me his herd bull. He had
used him four years with splendid re-
sults and the animal was too valuable
to send to the block. He was Willing
to sell at a reasonable price, so I
bought. He is a finely bred animal,
has been tested out and found to be
a good producer. I feel ‘I was very
fortunate in securing so valuable a
sire.

I think live stock men have made.
some serious mistakes in the past in
sending to the block valuable sires,
animals that have been tested out and
proven to be excellent producers, but
being through with them the owners
thought no one wanted the animals.
To be sure, handling aged bulls is not
the pleasantest job“ But 'proper pre—
caution i-s taken there is no great dan-
ger. “-1 have been handling bulls of all
ages for the past twenty-five years
and I have never encountered any ser-
ious trouble.

I believe more dairymen and farm-
ers could 'well afford to use matured
sires, sires that come from a long line
of good producers, have been tried out
and in the prime of transmitting their
strong and desirable characteristics to
their offspring.~L. C. Reynolds.

warts on all four teats. The warts
are long and saw‘tooth, and some are
short and smooth. Is there something
to use that is not harmful?—C. O.

The long slender warts can be cut
off with a pair of scissors and then
the exposed ends touched with tinc-
ture of iron or lunar caustic. The
short stubby warts can be treated di-
rect by applying the tincture of iron
or lunar caustic. Soften the teats be-
fore milking by applying a little vas-
eline.

FLUSHING THE newt-:3.-

S breeding time approaches for
the ewe flock it is well to consid-
er the practice of “flushing.” This
con’Sists simply in increasing the feed
to a. point sufliéient to insure liberal
gains in weight throughout the breed-
ing season. It matters not whether
the increase be fresh, rich pasturage,
or a. light grain ration, the important
point is that they be gaining, and in
a normal, healthy condition. y The ad-
vantages of putting the ewes in vigOr—
ous condition before mating—“flush-
ing,” as it is commonly termed—are
so well recognized by successful shep-
herds that they cannot be ignored. It
invariably results in a larger and more

fvigorous lamb crop. It may safely be
depended upon to increase the per-

: centage of twins born at least ten per
? cent and the number of lambs raised

twenty per cent or better. This means
pretty good returns on a little extra
feed. Experience shows that the ewes
should not be in high flesh, but gain-
ing. The practice of “flushing” will
not give so satisfactory results with
ewes that are in high flesh to start
with, as with those that are in thin or
moderate condition—Pope.

SECURES PREMIUM PRICE FOR
HOGS.

OW that Livingston county has

completed her tuberculosis test-
ing work and is designated as a modi-
fied tuberculosis accredited county by
the federal government, shippers
hogs from that county will receive the
ten cent premium which packers have
agreed to pay over and above the reg-
ular price for all swine marketed from
these accredited counties. The first
load of hogs to receive this benefit
was shipped by the Fowlerville Coop-
erative Live Stock Shipping Associa-
tion and sold at the stockyards on
October first.

H. R. Smith, national live stock com-
missioner, states that the packers can
well afford to pay, this additional pre-
mium. The average loss from a. car
of hogs marketed from counties where
tuberculosis has not been cleaned up
amounts to around $40 per car, While
this premium will amount to about
$20 per car. The packers are, there-
fore, glad to pay the ten cents extra
per hundredweight for swine from ac-
credited counties.

GOOD LIVE STOCK MEANS GOOD
CROPS.

HE Springwater Stock Farm, of

Ionia. county, is owned and oper-
ated by the Westbrook Brothers. For
a. number of years they have been
building up a. high-class herd of dual-
purpose cattle. Their herd of pure-r
bred ~Red Polls grows in quality year
by year and they aim to maintain the
herd at twenty-five to ferty head.
As is invariably the one, it is on

 

 

 

 

 

of'

 

 

a as

these good farms, where plenty of
good live stock is kept, that we most
often see the besttarm crops growing.
Westbrook Brothers have thrashed
this season over 5,000 bushels of grain
and their corn fields are very fine and
heavy.

Most classes of improved live stock
are on a. price basis at the present
time that removes the element of spec-
ulation, almost entirely, from invest-
ments in them, and it would seem a.
most logical time for the man who is
interested in the farm to lay the foun-
dation for a. system of live stock farm-
ing that means continued prosperity
and permanent improvement in agri-
culture. ——F. E.

 

DO NOT MIX SALT WITH FEED.

ALT is essential to all farm ani-

mals. Ordinary barrel salt is the
best to feed for the reason that an
animal may have all the salt desired.
Salt should not be mixed with the
feed but should be fed in a separate
feed box. If salt is mixed with the
feed the animal may get either too
much or too little and suffer as a.
result.

 

WET VS. DRY FEED FOR HOGS.

Is there any 1nC1eased feeding value
in the custom of feeding ground grain
to hogs when the grain has been mix-
ed with water for a period of time,
over the custom of mixing the ground
grain daily as needed for feeding?—
H. B.

If the grain is mixed with water
and allowed to stand for some time
the water becomes flavored with the

soluble part of the grain, something.

like the preparation of soup, and no
doubt it makes the whole mass more
palatable. The grain would become
less palatable and the water mOre pal-
atable by this treatment.

This method of feeding hogs is lia-
ble to force the hog to consume more

water than is needed. In fact, many
times, in order to get what food he
wants, he is forced to consume so
much water that it is an actual detri-
ment. ,

Many feeders who have tried both
ways prefer to feed the grain dry and
then have water at hand so the hog
can help himself as he desires. No
particular reason can be given why a
hog should have his food wet any
more than a horse or a cow. If allow-.
ed to have his choice the hog will
favor the dry grain, especially after
he once gets used to it. There is noth-
ing to be gained by wetting the food
to be fed to any animal.

 

It has proven economical to hog
down corn.

Only silage from well-matured corn
should be fed to the sheep.

Good feeders must be bought at the
right price to make the flatness of.
producing mes profitable

- FORD WITHDRAws 'SHOALS am.

ENRY FORD has withdrawn his

bid for the Muscle Shoals power
nitrate plants, according to newspaper
reports. He is quoted as saying that
he made the best bid he knew how to
make; that the proposition was a sim-
ple matter of business which should
have been decided in a week’s tim_e,
but instead it has become a political
affair.

With the Ford offer removed, con-
gress will have the choice of erecting
plants to utilize the power, or of sell-
ing it to the Alabama Power Company
which holds a monopoly of the trans-
mission lines in that territory, or let-

' ting the power go to waste.

 

COOPERATIVE FAILURES IN MICH-
IGAN ARE SMALL.

THE number of failures among the

farmers’ business organizations is
not so large as is generally supposed.
This is indicated by figures received
by the department of agriculture re-
garding farmers' cooperative associa-
tions in Michigan. The records show
that during the eleven years that the
department has been collecting infor-
mation about marketing associations,
reports have been received regarding
750 different organizations. Of this
number 539, or seventy-two per cent,
are still active. Only seventy-two as-
sociations are out of business. Infor-
mation is lacking regarding the re-
maining 140.

 

THIS IS ENCOURAGING.

A STEADY increase in the indebted-

ness of the United States is re-
ported by the treasury officials. On
August 31, 1919, the government’s in-
debtedness amounted to $26,596,701,-
648.01. On September 30, 1924, it was
$20,841,424.958.99. During the last
twelve months there has been a, de-
crease of $871,695,403 in the govern-
ment debt.

That there has been a reduction of
$5,342.692,803.70 in five years is re-
garded as an achievement worthy of
mention, as indicating that those who
have the administration of government
affairs are doing their best" to spare
the taxpayers unnecessary burdens.

 

TWO VIEWS ON THE DAWES
PLAN.

HE initial offering of German loan
bonds under the reparations plan
and amounting to $110,000,000. were
heavily over—subscribed within a. brief
time. There is some opposition to the
Dawes’ plan. There are those who in-
sist that it will saddle a debt upon
Germany which that country can never
pay. it is asserted by William VVal-
lace Brauer, of Washington, formerly
a. leading exporter of American cattle,
that the success of the Dawes plan
will work havoc with the‘farmers and
industrial workers in the United
States; that “neither manufactured
products nor farm, products could be
sold to Germany or any of the central
powers without the consent of the Brit-
ish, if ever the Dawes plan went into
effect, unless such farm and factory
products were, in each individual case,
sold through British merchants, who
would get their percentage of profit
before the Americans received a dol-

clared that “the Dawes’ plan is the
first real step to help Europe out of
the disastrous situation she has been
in for the past six years; it gives se-
curity forlGennan currency and cred-i

 

it, and is a progressive step. for, peace

among~the nations, therefore Germany

is thankful for the success of the Ger-

man loan in the United States."

Having stabilized its currency, Dr.
Hirsch predicts that Germany will be
able to purchase increasing quantities
of American farm products. The work-
ing part of the population has largely
increased since the war, and the per-
centage of unemployed is not high. In
answer to the question as to the prob-
ability of Russia supplying the food
needs of Germany, he said that ship-
ments of grain and other flour prod-
ucts from Russia into Germany so far
had been insignificant. And whatever
grain Russia exports is taken from her
. starving population. Under the soviet
government Russia is not likely to be
come a. competitor of the United
States in the exportation of farm prod-
ucts.

Bloody Milk.~—W’e have a three—year-
old Jersey and Holstein cow which is
apparently in good health and passed
the tuberculin state test twice. She
had her first calf in May, 1924, which
is normal in every particular, and de—
livery of calf was normal. But about
a week before the calf was born it
was necessary to remove a little of
her milk as the bag was full and dis-
tended. This milk had a trace of
blood in it which cleared up in a week
or so, and there has been a. showing
of blood in the milk again, although
there seems to be no inflammation lo
cally nor has the cow had service
since, having been held back instead.
What, in your, opinion, causes the
blood to appear and what would you
recommend to correct the condition.
R. 8., Wayne, Mich—This slight
congestion of the udder will be best
remedied by giving her a tablespoonl‘ui
of fluid extract of phytolacca. at a. dose
in feed or in drinking water twice a
day, also apply cold water to udder

after each milking. Doubtless a recov— .

cry would take place if left alone, but
carefully milked.

General Weakness—Can you tell us
how to cure our four—year—old horse?
He acts more like a horse that is
twenty years old, not a four-year-old.
Our other horses are in fine condition
and fed same kind of feed. When
walking he perspires, he is too weak
to do work. J. P., Eau Claire, Mich.—~
You had better change his feed, and
perhaps a change of diet might help
him, also increase the quantity. Give
him sixty drops of fluid extract of nux
vomica, and three drams of Fowler’s
Solution at a dose in ground feed or
in drinking water three times a day.
Don't try to work him until he is fit.

Sore Throat.——My mare, thirteen
years old, breathes hard when work-
ing, While drinking, some of the water
returns through nostrils and she slav-
91's more or less. J. H., Dansville,
Mich—Dissolve one dram of chlorate
of potash in half a pint of water, gar-
glc mouth and throat two or three
times a day. Apply equal parts tinc-
ture of iodine and camphorated oil to
throat daily. —Make a careful exami-
nation of the mouth and throat.

Partial Paralysis of Throat.~-l have
a seven—year—old horse that has par-
alysis of the throat. He chews his
food, then spits it out again, drinks
very little water, makes some noise
breathing, some discharge from nose.
F S., Marlette, Mich—Make careful
examination of his mouth, you may
find the cause, and by removal of the
cause he will recover. Dissolve a. tea-
spoonful of borax in one pint of wa-‘
ter, use this to wash out mouth—treat

.-him three times: a. day. ‘Apply cam-i

phorated oil - to _'throat twice a. day.

WHEAT

Wheat prices have been charting a
highly erratic course. The break a
week ago carried the market off
around ten cents from the extreme
high. This was recovered in short
order. Back of the sharp fluctuations
are the tactics of foreign buyers and
speculative'i‘nterests. The ten cent
break seems to have been accompa-
nied by much short selling rather than
by liquidation. The falling off in ex-
port sales and rumors of reselling re-
ported a week ago were part of for-
eign buying strategy. The total
amount resold was small and‘Euro—
pean countries did not succeed in buy—
ing nearly as much as they hoped for
on the break as they have continued
to buy with fair freedom on the sub-
sequent upturn.

Indications as to the acreage to be
planted to winter wheat in the United
States‘are conflicting. High prices
have had a stimulating effect .and a
large area has been planted in the
main hard winter wheat belt under
favorable soil conditions. In the corn
belt the late maturity of the corn crop
has interfered to some extent With
the planting of wheat, so that the
acreage may not show a great deal of
change. Continued dry weather in the
far west has interfered with planting

operations.
RYE

Since September 1 about 16,000,000
bushels of rye in the form of gram
have left the United States. Allowmg
for exports of rye flour, this is at the
rate of around 3,000,000 bushels a
If this rate is maintained about
two months longer, our estimated sur-
plus will be gone. Our visible supply
of rye has been shrinking rather rap-
idly of late in spite of the fact that
the crop moving season is still here.
Broomhall states that Germany, alone,
needs 72,000,000 bushels of rye this
France, Belgium and Scan-

The surplus in North America is not

.-0ver 45,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels at

the outside and Russia really has none
to spare. There are no other sources.

After moving sidewise for nearly

two weeks while wheat, rye and oats 7

were passing through a sharp decline
and a partial recovery, corn declined

.\’

 

 

 

weakness was chiefly speculative, as
holders have become tired of waiting
for an advance. There are indica-
tions that the crop will not come up
to recent official estimates owing to
abandonment of acreage and poor fill-
ing of the ears. Weather conditions
have. been generally favorable for dry-
ing out the grain in the last ten days.

.. OATS

Oats prices are trailing behind other
grains, owing to the large crop, the
record movement to terminals and the
enormous visible supply. “Their cheap-
ness, however, gives them an under-
current of strength. Foreign buying
is expected to assist in advancing v -
ues later. Actual clearances of cats
are the largest in more than two
years. Barley exports also are rather

large“ ..
BEANS

Bean prices were reduced last week
to $5.60 per 100 pounds for C .
whites f. 0. Michigan shipping
points. Deliveries by growers to ele-
vators are only fair on account of the
busy season while the demand is slow.
The movement of beans out of the
state has been rather light thus far.
Lower prices are expected to stimu-
late consumption, especially if cool
weather arrives, and to reduce deliv-
eries. Weather conditions have been
highly favorable for threshing. The
estimated production of pinto beans,
combining Colorado and New Mexico,
is 1,682,000 bushels against 1,705,000
bushels last year.

SEEDS

Cloverseed prices 'are still in lofty
ground. Reports upon threshing re-
turns are disappointing as yields are
much lighter than the amount of veg-
etative growth would indicate. Euro-'
pean prices have almost doubled and
France is reported to have bought at
Toledo last week. Timothy seed pric-
es are rather weak.

FEEDS

Feed markets are quiet as the warm
weather in most sections together with
an abundance of pasture, is checking
the demand from dairymen and feed-
ers. Offerings of wheat feeds are only
moderate but production is quite heavy
and prices show an easy undertone.

sharply in the last two days. ‘ The

  
 

.

Cottonseed and linseed meals are rath-

, er weak as offerings are ample and

domestic demand continues
port sales have diminished.
HAY . ,
~ Hay markets are steady to dull with
low grades clogging distributing cent-
ers and finding an extremely slow de-
mand. Heavier receipts of timothy
have weakened prices while alfalfa is
holding steady under a good demand
for the better grades. '
POULTRY AND-EGGS

The egg market suffered a small de-
cline last week, with the exception of
the finest qualities. The outlook is
strong, however, as supplies of fresh.
eggs have not reached minimum for
the season and an upward trend in
prices is to be expected for. another
month or two. Receipts of poultry at
leading markets have increased sharp-
ly in the last two weeks. Arrivals of
dressed poultry, particularly, have ex-
panded. Weakness is to be expected
while the autumn and winter supplies
are arriving, but the average level for
the season promises to be above that
of last fall and winter.

BUTTER

Storage holdings of butter are about
60 per cent greater than last year, pro-
duction seems to be running 15 per
cent greater than at this time in 1923
and the receipts at leading Cities are
heavy, yet prices were rather firm last
week. Fancy butter shows an advance
of three cents over the recent low
point. Low grades are selling at big
discounts. It is to be hoped that pric-
es are now low enough to stimulate
consumption. Fairly large clearances
for export are being made.

e WOOL

While the wool trade has; slowed
down in the last few days, this, is
partly due to small stocks of domestic
wools and high prices for, fOreign
wools. In general, the market is quite
firm. A breathing spell is logical after
three months of intense activity. For-
eign markets are quiet, as British pric-
es were getting out of joint with other
wool-consuming countries. The fact
that the new clip in the southern hem-
isphere is becoming available in larger
quantities also helps to check the ris-
ing tendency. Domestic wool prices
are in a streng position, however, as
they are below the level .of foreign
wools after the duty is paid.

Offerings of produce were heavy and
the demand was strong. Prices gener-

ples was moderate, but pears and
peaches were taken slowly. The de-

er, spinach, cabbage, celery and pep-l
pers had slow sale. Carrots and most
roots were in light demand, and only
the best greens were in demand. The
movement of potatoes was'moderate
at 75c@$2.25. There was a ready de-

AGRIGUILTURE

RESIDENT COOLIDGE instill con

farting with the farm organization
' leaders 1:“: regard to the proposed
appointment 'of a cummission to study
the legislative needs of agriculture.
President ,Bradfute,,ot the American
Farm Bureau Federation, National
Master Taber, of the grange, and Pres-
ident Barrett, of the.Nationa1 Farm-
ers’ Union, have recently accepted in-
vitations from the President to confer

, thought it would be best for the ap-
ipointments to be postponed until after
election, thereby removing the com-
mission from the taint of party pol-

EPORTS to'the department of ag- '

riculture indicate steadily increas-
ing gains in membership of coopera-
tive marketing associations. The num-
ber of associations has ceased to be a
satisfactory measure of estimating
their growth. Today there are local
associations, centralized associations,
and sales agencies in terminal mar-
kets. These vary in size from twenty-
flve members doing" a business of less
than $25,000, to 100,000 members doing
a business of $70,000,000 annually.

AUTUMN DECLINE IN ‘Hocs
a START

Hog values were pruned back in the
last few days even more rapidly than
they had grown in the previous week.
The bulge which carried the Chicago
top close to the $12 mark proved
tempting to producers and seems to
have started the belated autumn run.
Combined receipts at leading markets
have increased about 25 per cent in
the last ten days and the current week
promises to show practically the larg-
est total since early July Fresh pork
prices were slumpy in the east as the
consuming public has become accus.
tomed to cheap pork and was inclined
to back away from loins wholesaling
as high as 31 cents.

This decline undoubtedly marks the
beginning of the fall bear campaign.
Upward reactions will be numerous
but the drift is downward to a winter
basis, which will remain undetermined
until the tonnage of the crop is more
fully known. Packers seem to be hav.
ing no difficulty cleaning up provision
stocks accumulated from the last hog
c10p. Lard stocks at Chicago showed
a surprising disappearance in the first
half of October The smaller pig crop
and the high price of corn mean that
lard will be less plentiful next year
Heavy hogs will be at more than their
usual premium over lightweights. Rel,
atively high prices for finished pack-
ing sows are to be expected £01 the
same reason.

CATTLE MARKET TWO-SIDED.

The cattle market is a two-way af—
fair at present Buyers are using grab-
bing tactics whenever they find fin-
ished yearlings, while medium and
common grades, which can be bought
at the sharpest discounts of the sea-
son, are treated with extreme neglect.
Little cattle at Chicago have reached
a. new high of $12.60. Weighty fed
steers are still in hard straits, with
top prices around $11 and the plain
weighty kinds at $8 to $9.50 are near.
the lowest prices 0 fthe season.

Feeder cattle prices declined last
week, lower grades losing most. Some
extremely low—priced, plain light steers
will probably be available in the next
two months. Buyers prefer light and
medium weights in good flesh rather
than extremely weighty steers, on ac-
count of the present discount on the
weighty fat steers.

 

COUNTY CROP REPORTS.

injured by wet weather and blight. In
some sections, corn is very good, and
in others it is poor. Potatoes are

poor quality. Farmers are getting
their work well caught up. Prices paid I.

SU GAR BEETS.

The yield of sugar beets in many of
the leading states is not as large as
last year, but a good acreage gives a
prospectvie total production that is
slightly greater. Michigan’s estimated
crop of 1,189,000 tons is only exceeded
by that of one other state, Colorado,
according to a report issued by Verne

. Church, Michigan Agricultural Sta-
tistician, and L. Whitney Watkins,
Commissioner of Agriculture. The av-
erage yield per acre for the country
as a whole promises to be 81 tons,
which will give a total sugar yield of
950, 000 tons. Last year, the beet sug-
ar production of theUnited States was
884, 000 tons. The estimated pro-
duction in tons is given herewith for
each of the leading states:

POTATOES.

The potato crop for the entire coun-
try this year promises to be another
large one, being estimated at 423, 508,-
000 bushels, according to a report is-
sued by Verne H. Church, Michigan
Agricultural Statistician, and L. Whit~
ney Watkins, Commissioner of Agri-
culture. This has only been exceeded
twice, in 1917 when 442,108,000 bushels
pere produced, and the record crop of
453,396,000 in 1923. The condition is
relatively high in all except a few of
the western states. The equivalent
production for the principal states is
given below:

APPLES.

There has been a further decline in
the United States apple crop during
the past month, according to a report
issued by Verne H. Church, Michigan
Agricultural Statistician, and L. VVhit—
ney Watkins, C issioner of Agri-
culture. The qua is not as good as
that of last year, and a smaller" per—
centage will grade No. 1. The crop is
now estimated at 174, 870, 000 bushels
as compared with,196, 770 000 last year
Of the total crop, 26 942, 000 barrels
are rated as commercial, as against
34,403,000 last year. The Michigan
crop is much smaller than last year
being only forty—five per cent of nor-
mal. The condition and production,

, Eirpoes It Pay to Buy,
‘ - ' Protein?

, Prof Morrison of the Wisconsin Sta-
. tio‘n says: Often farmers do not purI
chase protein rich feeds such as linI
seed oil meal, to balance their farm
' gr6Wn feeds, because these proteinI
rich feeds cost more per ton than
coin, oats or bran. They do not apI
preciate the large amounts of protein
in :these feeds and unwisely look up
on them as too expensive. Protein
is the key to the whole ration and
I under conditions can be bought at
great profit in the form of linseed
Imeal.1ts purchase may be well comI
pared to the buying of lubricating oil
for an engine: Oil costs more per galI
1011 than gasoline, but who would atI
tempt to run a gasoline engine alone
1“ ; without enough oil? ‘

Just WHEN it pays to buy protein
depends upon the protein. With linI

- seed it is usually ALL the time But
that is discussed fully in the book dtI
scribed below.

It Pays As We Can Readily Prove: ‘ ' _'

Profit With Dairy Cows —-The tester of an Iowa CowTesting Association f6und that 1n one
month after Linseed Oil Meal was added to the ration, there was an increase of 1,103.2 lbs. of

, milk and 49. 2 lbs. of fat from only eight cows. Figuring fat at 62 cents a pound, the gain in fat

amounted to $30. The Linseed Oil Meal cost only $7. 35 Thus there was a profit of $22. 6’)" in
feeding the oil meal. The tester says, “When one can buy linseed oil meal at 21/2 cents a pound
and by feeding it to a cow get over 10 cents a pound for it in the form of butterIfat, I can see no
reason for anyone milking cows not feeding oil meal.”

Profit With Swine—Prof. F. B. Morrison, Asst Director of the Wisconsin Agricultural Ex»
perimental Station says, “We have found a ration containing no skim milk or other dairy byf~
products, which gives just as good gains With young fall pigs as when these dairy feeds are used
This helps solve the fall pig problem for many farmers. Young pigs have been taken right from
their mothers in the fall at 8 or 9 weeks of age and put on a ration 6f corn, linseed oil meal, tankI
age and chopped alfalfa, and have excelled 1n gains pigs fed on yellow corn and skim milk. We
found that a ton of linseed oil meal was actually worth $85, without giving credit for the 29
days saved 1n getting the pigs to market weight."

Profit With Shee In a recent Nebraska experiment Linseed Oil Meal proved worth $5 3 a
ton in fattening 1am?—

Profit With Beef Cattle—In a recent Minnesota experiment Linseed Oil Meal showed a
profit of $12.79 a ton in fattening baby beeves. ,

And so it goes—splendid profits are obtained in feeding all farm animals this rich proteid and
splendid conditioner. . . . ,

';.What If 1.... Should Make 5 i "
on the InVeStment?

, - -—you cl think it a pretty good investment wouldn t

"you? You can often do better than that—in buyI
ing and feeding Linseed Oil Meal. It s an investI
ment—not an expense. But don t take our word
for it—-—send for Prof. Morrison 5 book for proof
of its worth.

 

Much More .. ......
Linseed Oil Meal has been aptly compared to a
carburetor. With it you can adjust the ration By
adding it here and there in the rations it helps to
balance those rations fully and make full use of
them. Furthermore, being slightly laxative, it helps
the animal make better use of his feed and keep him
in all around better condition.
