SECRETARY WALLACE DEAD.





 





 





As we go to press, word is received

of the death of Secretary of Agricul-

ture Henry C. Wallace, at Washington,

D. C., on Saturday, October 25. The

country has lost an efficient cabinet





 





officer and the farmers a. staunch

ECAUSE of their



The Pro- unusual interest



and importance as



posed ‘4' questions of public





mendments policy, we are again



giving the text of the

three proposed amendments to the

Constitution of the state, to be voted

on at the November election. Follow-

ing the text of each amendment we

are reproducing, in opposite columns,

an outline of the principal arguments

advanced for and against their adop-

tion by the voters of the state.



The arguments presented are not in

any case an expression of opinion by

this publication, except as to the se-

lection of the best arguments in each

case from the mass of reasons ad-

vanced to the voters for favoring or

opposing these amendments by their

principal advocates or opponents.

This form of presentation has been

adopted as the best means of aiding

our readers to arrive at a correct un-

derstanding of the more important

considerations involved by the submis—

sion of the proposed constitutional

amendments to the voters of the state.



It is highly important that all voters

inform themselves on these questions

and vote on the amendments, as they

will be adopted or rejected by a. ma-

jority of those voting, and any changes

in our fundamental law should be in

conformity with a majority, rather

than a minority opinion of the legal

voters of the state.



It is every voter’s duty to vote On

these proposed amendments.

With Arguments For And Against l'





 





77... School Amendment





proposed amendment to Article XI of the Constitution relative to compulsory attendance at a. public





.A

school of all children

eighth grade. and to read as fouows:





“Section 16. From and after August lst.





1925. all childrm res





between the ages of seven and _sixteen years until they have graduated from the





g in the state of Michigan.





idin

n the ages of seven years and sixteen years. shall attend a public school until they have graduated





from the eighth grade."





"Section 17. The‘lcgislature shall enact all necessary legislation to render said section 16 effective."





Arguments For.





1. That the public school, being the

common meeting ground for children

of all antecedents and the melting pot

of ,America, should be extended to

every class;





2. That the tendency of the private

sfhools is to promote class distinc-

on;





3. That every child'in the state is

entitled to "its rightful heritage of per—

sonal and democratic contact with the

children of other creeds, races and

classes, and that the proposed amend-

ment provrdes for this 'while allowing

ample time outside the hours required

for attendance at public school for the

purpose of inculcating religious doc-

trine;



4. That under our present supervis-

ory system provided by the state over

private and church schools there is

not sufiicient public control over the

teachers and the doctrines being

taught;



5. That the amendment would tend

further toward the separation of the

church and the state.





Arguments Against.





1. That the form of the amendment

is misleading, and the explanation ac-

companying it does not inform the

voter as to its real purpose;



2. That the effect of its adoption

would be to close all private and

church grammar schools now attend:

ed by 100,000 to 125,000 children under

sixteen years of age;



3. That these children would be

thrown into the already overcrowded

public schools of our cities, putting

many children on a part-time school

basis; .



4. That it would cost the taxpayers

many millions of dollars for additional

school buildings and equipment, and

for their upkeep and the employment

of additional teachers;



5. That the proposal is not in accord

with the American ideal of fair play

and the spirit of our constitution in-

suring religious liberty in that it would

deny American parents the privilege

of providing religious instruction for

their children in state regulated

schools maintained at their own pri-

vate expense.





The Income Tax Amendment





A proposed amendment to Article X of the Constitution authorizing the enactment of a graduated





income tax law. and to read as follows:

"Section 3.

“All incomes above $100,000 shall be taxed at the rate of 10 per centum.





"The income tax law. herein authorized shall be





administered by a board of state tax commissioners





“All monies paid to a board of state tax commissioners under the provisions of this amendment shall

be paid into the state treasury and shall then be credited to the general fund of the state. and shall

be used for defreying the “general expenses of the state government and for the payment of principal and





interest on state bonds.





“On or before the first day of September of each year, the auditor general shall deduct from the

total amount directed by the legislature to be included in the state tax. for that year. the amount of

money received under the provisions of this amendment and credited to the general fund of the state for

the current year and the balance if any shall be deemed to constitute the state tax to be apportioned





among the various counties of the state in accordance





Arguments For.



1. That real estategwith an estimat-

ed value of thirty-five to forty per

cent of the total property in the state,

pays eighty per cent of state taxes:



2. That a state income tax would

relieve real estate of some of this ex-

cessive burden of taxation;



3. That the taxation of income from

investments at the proposed rates

is both just and equitable;



4. That many states have adopted

the income tax for the raising of state

revenue with satisfactory and bene-

ficial results, at least one of which

has as high an exemption as that pro-

posed for Michigan;



5. That the federal income tax re-

port shows 33,000 people with sworn

net incomes of over $331,000,000, equiv~

alent to cash investment of $6,500,000,-

000 at 5 per cent, which equals the en-

tire assessed valuation of the state

last year, which wealth should con-

tribute a fair share of state taxes;



6. That failure to secure the enact~

ment of an income tax law at two pre-

vious sessions of the legislature war-

rants the proposed method of securing

this result by constitutional amend-

ment.





with the provisions of the general tax law.





Arguments Against.



1. That an income tax law is prop-

erly a matter for legislative enactment

rather than constitutional provision;



2. That the proposed rates of taxa-

tion and exemption are arbitrary and

designed to appeal to the voter’s prej-

udice rather than his fair judgment;



3. That the proposed amendment

would impose double taxation, first on

property and second on income de-

rived from’ it;



4. That the proposed rates are un-

just and without precedent, no oth-

er state having an income tax starts

at or reaches so high rates;



5. That it discriminates against res-

ident stockholders in, or owners of,

Michigan industries as it applies only

to “citizens and

state”;



6. That it eliminates the present

constitutional provision for the taxa-

tion of railroads, etc, at the average

rate of taxation and would exempt

these public utilities from such taxa-

tion and thereby jeopardize the pri-

mary school fund in accordance with

opinions rendered by the attorney gen-

eral and state superintendent of pub-

lic instruction.





The Reapportionment Amendment .





A proposed amendment to Article V of the Constitution diuding the state into senatorial and repre-





sentative districts. and to read as follows:



“Section 2.

districts. Such districts shall be numbered

one senator.

and by single districts.

which shall choose one representative."



"Section 3. The secretary of state,

tiguous territory with regular boundaries following the county, city, or township lines as nearly as possible





and shall contain, as nearly as may be,

that in the formation of surh districts no township shall be divided thereby."





“Section 4.





On or before the first day of January, 1925, and every eighth year thereafter.





the clerks





of the several counties, cities and townships shall cause to be filed with the secretary of state a certified

statement of the number of registered and qualified voters resident therein at the last prcsrdentral election.“





Arguments For.





1. That the plan for reapportion-

ment of the state into representative

and senatorial districts as provided

for in this proposed amendment is bas-

ed upon the number of “registered and

qualified voters” and not upon the

number of “individuals” as at present;



2. That it would provide a definite

time for the revision of these districts

and also the necessary official data up—

on which to base the apportionments;



3. That the work would be in the

hands of a small body where responsi-

bility for inaction could be placed.





Arguments Against.



1. That the :‘moiety clause,” which

has heretofore guaranteed counties

having more than fifty per cent of the

required population, one member in

the House of Representatives, is elim—

inated;



2. That practical control of the leg-

islature would. be made possible by

delegations from two or three con—

gested counties;



3. That the amendment violates a

long established precedent by placing

this power in the hands of the execu-

tive department. 0 »

the safest: “and best, the!

ourselves alane,"but for the country as

a whole, we .need' have little fear for

the continued welfare of Our country

and the prosperity of, her people. '



Many of us think, “Well, I’ve got a

job that must be‘done today, so I can

hardly spare the time to go and vote,"

or, “I really don’t know who or what

I should vote for or against, and be-

sides, my vote only counts one, any-

way, and that is not apt to Change the

results.” Do you: know that fully half

of our voting popualtion is thinking

that same thing, and that may be

encugh to affect the results materially.

The people who are too indifferent to

their own obligations as citizens to

take their own part in their country’s

government, are not really deserving

of the protection it gives. They are

often the loudest in their walls against

its abuses and its faults,“ but what

right have they to say a word? Their

own neglect is what has made it pos-

sible for those abuses to creep in.



A vote for safe, sensible, level-head-

ed men in office is one vote for the

safety and happiness of yourself and

your family. A vote for or against

public policies is one vote for or

against your own prosperity. It is as





much your job to vote, and to inform *





yourself so you can vote intelligently,

as it is your public ofliciai’s job to per-

form his given task with honesty,

intelligence and to the best of his

ability. You should do your part this

election day, or, whatever comes, fer-

ever hold your peace.





Vote





HAT’s what. I’m goin’ to do on

Nov. four, ’cause it’s one o’-the

privileges o' my American citizenship.

You kin vote if you’re a citizen, but

you don’t have ta But you have ta.

pay taxes. Therefore, votin’ is a priv-

ilege and payin’ taxes is a compulshun.

Now, it seems ta me that if more

folkses took advantage of their citi-

zenship privileges they wouldn’t have

ta kick so much about the compul-

shun. The whole trouble is that the

folkses without responsibility take ad—

vantage 0’ their votin’ privilege and

vote “yes” ta everythin’ what has to

do with spendin'

0’ public money.

It seems like vot-

in’ “yes” on them

things is gotta be

such a habit that

it looks like the

greatest heritage

we’r’e goin’ ta.

leave our chil-

dren is taxes.



Lot’s 0’ this spendin’ public money

is like buyin’ a suit 0’ clothes fer a

dollar down and a dollar fer the rest

0’ your life. The suit gets worn out

in your endeavor to pay fer it, and

this charge account wears better than

the suit, ’cause it lasts longer.



If votin’ was a compulshun, the good

substanshul thought 0’ this country

would be expressed and the results 0’

our electshuns would be safe and sane.

But the way it is lots 0’ times, maybe

some day after electshun we’ll find

we’ve elected a bullshaver fer king 0’

this country. And it will be the ones

who didn't vote what elected him The

not .-
AIRGROVE lies in that fertile



realm, once timbered with elm,



oak, and .basswood, which—be-

cause of the peculiar outline of Mich-

igan's Lower Peninsula, has come to

be known as the Thumb. Hardwood

forests which covered the territory

forty years ago have given way to

well-kept farm homes. Large bank

barns shelter the grains and forages

produced here in abundance. Numer-

ous silos store the summer succulence

of corn for Winter feeding to the herds

-of dairy cows which, today, give this

region importance as one of the great

butter-producing sections.



Well-kept roads of gravel, macadam,

and concrete carry the market and

tourist traflic up out of the hearty mud

that characterizes good farming dis-

tricts of this region during the rainy

seasons. Best of all, spacious houses,

furnace heated, electrically lighted,

modernly equipped, shelter the home

builders who have made Michigan’s

Thumb a'place comparable to the

most prosperous agricultural sections

in America. I



A glance at the heading on the staf

tionary used by W. R. Kirk & Sons, of

Fairgrove, gives a ready clue to the

reason why the farm belonging to this

firm was selected as representing some

of the highest standards in farming in

a district where high standards in

farming are the rule.



Let us look at that heading, ——W. .R.

Kirk & Sons,”-——now that is something

itself. It speaks of business partner-

ship in the home. It speaks of boys

whose interest is in the welfare of the

firm. If We are permitted a glimpse

back of that heading, we will see one

young member of the firm, a student

at the Michigan Agricultural College,

preparing to continue business with

the help that a broader education will

give. Three more of those sons, still

in school, look with justifiable pride at

an array of ribbons that their Chester

Whites won in the pig club competi-

tion at the Tuscola County Fair. Also,

they speak of their work in the barns

and fields. Fifteen acres of grain cut

with the tractor-drawn binder, and set

up, represents an average summer

day’s work for this part of the firm.

All of this points to the most satisfac-

tory and effective business partner-

ship, that of the American family.



Now take a look at the rest of that

letterhead. See whether or not there

isn’t something there that makes that

home partnership more » attractive.

"Registered Seed Farm No. 57. Pure-

bred Worthy oats, pure—bred Wiscon-

sin Pedigree Barley, pure—bred Pickett

corn, pure-bred Chester.White Swine,

Pure-bred Holstein Cattle.” It looks

as though “pure-bred” is pretty near

the watchword of the Kirk homestead,

doesn’t it?



“I look at this matter of blood in my

live stock and crops, first from the

standpoint of making the best use of

my soil fertility and my feed,” said

Mr. Kirk. “Take Worthy oats. It’s





stiff, heavy straw helps- it stand up

where other varieties lodge, such lodg-

ing causing great loss in labor of bar-

vesting as well as in the filling of the

In addition, it has been out-





grain.





Mr. Kirk, too, who foresaw the possi-

bilities of shipping seed in carlots and

got his neighbors, Henry Lane, W. S.

Bell, Fritz Mantey, James Scott and

several others interested.



Today the Fairgrove territory has

come to be recognized as one of the

most desirable sources of seed oats

and barley in the middle west. Win-

nings at the State Fair and Interna-

tional Grain and Hay Show brought

the seeds produced by these growers

into prominence, while certified seed

pools sold through the seed depart-

ment of the Michigan State Farm Bu-

reau have enabled each grower to

share alike in a price substantially

higher than the commercial market

could afford.



It isn’t breeding alone that counts

on the Kirk farm. His Holsteins aren’t

forced to give milk on a slim, unbal-

anced ration of timothy hay and

yielding other varieties by fully ten

bushels per acre, which leaves me

from four to six dollars per acre to

the good, even on a rather low com-

mercial market.”



‘However, “W. R. Kirk & Sons," does

not depend on rather low commercial

markets where special methods of pro-

duction and salesmanship will bring

something better. This farm was one

of the first to take advantage of the

Michigan Crop Improvement Associa-

tion’s certified seed market to dispose

of surplus oats and barley. It was





weathered cornstalks. Neither do his

Chester Whites go hungry. Alfalfa

forms the foundation for the feeding

rations; alfalfa, grain and some milk-

maker for the Holsteins; alfalfa pas-

ture, corn and home-grown feed for

the Chester Whites. Incidentally, a

thirteen-pig litter of these Chester

Whites, weighing 2,619 pounds at 180

days, is the high litter for the breed

in Michigan’s ton-litter contest.



And just as this farm feeds its cat-

tle and hogs for most efficient produc-

tion, so also does it look after the wel-





fare of its growing crops. Alfalfa,

leaving humus and nitrogen in the

soil, of course, tells part of that story.

The Thumb district once covered by

Saginaw Bay and consequently high in

lime, grows alfalfa luxuriantly. Drain-

age has been something of a problem

but the Kirk farm has four miles of

well located tile making practically





every foot of it safe for crop produc- '





tion.



Sweet Clover an'd Hubam supple-

ment manure and alfalfa in keeping

up the nitrogen and organic matter

content of the soil. Mr. Kirk plows

under at least one of these crops every

year. “The Hubam works in nicely,"

he says. “It gives a good growth in

one season, under our conditions, and

when plowed that fall gives no trouble

with plants coming back in the next

crop. _



“My rotation,” he continued, “brings

in alfalfa, corn or beans, oats or bar-

ley, wheat, and then back to alfalfa,

sweet clover or Hubam. I use either

a 2-16-2 fertilizer, or twenty per cent

acid phosphate at the rate of 125

pounds per acre on my oats, barley,

and wheat, and 100 pounds per acre

on my beans. My Robust beans, this

year, yielded twenty-eight bushels per

acre. In some of my fields, I use

sugar beets just before oats in the

rotation and beets form the principal

cash crop on the farm.



“This is a 160-acre farm, cleared of

its hardwood timber by the late Hon.

T. W. Atwood, a Tuscola county lum-

berman, banker, and pioneer. I got

the place fourteen years ago and have

since built the barn, tool-shed, tenant

house, silo, and chicken coop.



“The farm has not only paid its own

way but has afforded us many of the

modern comforts and conveniences,"

concluded the head partner in this

well established Tuscola county busi-

ness farm.



We noted those conveniences, a fur-

nace, electric lights, a complete water

system, a heated seed—corn drying

house, under construction, a piano to

cheer winter evenings, and a radio to

bring all the world to the fireside. Not

a thing omitted to make that farm

business a prosperous one; not a thing

omitted to make that house a comfort

to the firm to which it is home.





Cheating the Old Scrap Pile





TZe l/Io-to-dtzte Farmer Fol/0w: tZe Practice of Industrial Concerns





EW farms, indeed, have no grave-



F yard for old machinery and parts.

A passerby, familiar with factory

methods wonders at the dismantled

wrecks of mowing machines, once re-

splendent in shining red and yellow

paint, now rusting in a. slump of bur-

dock and brambles. Perhaps all that

is wrong is a broken axle. A crippled

tedder, that might still be kicking out

the long windrows of hay in the low

meadow on July mornings but for a

stripped and toothless gear, and a bent

cam-shaft, disconsolately forms a

rusty trellis for wild morning glories.

Dozens of smaller parts are always

there, too. A fiyWheel from the thresh-

ing machine, with a chunk missing

from the rim. A broken pump handle.

Cracked transmission housing from

the tractor—how long was the spring

plowing delayed while the tractor was

laid up waiting for the new one to

come in? Plowpoints, dozens of them;

and half a hundred small wheels, gears

and pinions. Parts from the car and

the trucks. Harvester parts, cultivat-

or parts, parts from the gas engine





and windmill—no one could name

them all.





Such a scrap pile nearly always is

to be found on the best managed

farms as well as those run by the old

methods. In fact, the better equipped

the farm, the larger is likely to be the

heap of discarded metal parts. Mod-

ern machinery converts the up-to—date

farm into a well ordered manufactur-

ing plant. This situation is followed

by the manufacturing plant’s problem

-—the maintenance and repair of ma-

chinery.



Besides the fact that it is an un-

sightly heap of junk, possibly even

dangerous to children and to live

stock, a haven for field mice and a

possible fire hazard from the tall dry

stalks of the over~growing weeds,

what does this scrap pile mean? What

significance has it to the owner of the

place?



It is a monument to waste.





Every piece on the scrap pile has

had to be replaced. From the mower

to the smallest sprocket every item





'\





was once important and necessary,

and when thrown away a new part

had to be bought so work could go on.



Industrial plants, faced with the

same problem, would weld these im-

paired parts. Many scrap piles repre-

senting thousands of dollars in ma-

chinery have been wiped out, never to

reappear, and the salvaged parts not

immediately required have in many

instances formed a reserve supply to

be drawn upon as needed. The sav-

ings made in these plants have justi-

fied the investment in welding equip-

ment many times over.



However, to reclaim worn or broke-n

farm equipment it is not necessary for

the farmer to buy welding apparatus.

The nearest job welding shop will fix

it for him.



With the oxy-acetylene welding

blowpipe in the hands of a competent

operator all sorts of worn and broken

parts can be repaired—more than “re-

paired" in the ordinary sense of the

word—actually made as good as new.

Cracked castings can be welded, miss-

ing gear teeth replaced, worn sections





and surfaces built up. Malleable cast-

ings can be brazed, and the part will

be as strong as originally. Steel parts

can be made over; plowpoints built up

with an alloy steel welding rod will

give seivice like new ones. Bent shaft-

ing can be straightened easily by heat-

ing with the welding blowpipe.



New parts and new equipment can

also be fabricated by welding. One

stock farm bought a number of old hot

water tanks (range boilers) from a

junk dealer, cut them into halves with

a cutting blowpipe, and after welding

pieces of old pipe to them for legs,

used them for stock-feeding troughs.

On another place a chute for bags of

grain was made by welding old pieces

of steel sheet, bought very cheaply

from a scrap yard.



It is in the repair of damaged parts,

however, that the greatest savings can

be made. The actual saving in dollars

and cents is a large figure, but the

greatest saving is the time necessary

to secuie a new part

TRACTOR POPULATION IN-

GREASES.





 





HERE was a. marked increase in



the manufacture of farm tractors

during 1923, the number manufactured

being 134,610 gasoline farm tractors

and 620 steam traction engines with a

value of $93,782,550. In 1922 these

machines were produced to the value

of $77,418,955, and in 1921 their value

was only $14,681,512.





RETURNS FROM SUGAR BEETS.





 





I N 1923 the beet sugar factories paid

to beet sugar growers on contract

$62,924,000 for their crop of 7,006,000

short tons of beets. The 1922 crop

brought $41,016,000. and $49,392,000

was paid for the 1921 crop.



The average price paid per ton, ac-

cording to reports received by the de—

partment of agriculture, was $8.98 for

1923 crop, $7.91 for 1922 crop, and

$6.35 for the‘1921 crop. The average

price paid growers per ton during the

seven years, 1914 to 1920, was $8.49.



The average prices paid per ton in

important states last year were: $9.15

in Ohio; $9.38 in Michigan; $8.72 in

Wisconsin; $8.10 in Nebraska; $8.15

in Colorado; $8.28 in Utah; $8.57 in

Idaho, and $13.99 in California. It is

explained that the larger amount'per

ton received by California growers is

due largely to climatic conditions

which enable the factories to handle

the beets more economically and se-

cure a. larger yield of sugar per ton

of beets.



It is estimated that the domestic

beet sugar production this year will

exceed 900,000 tons, which is 100,000

tons above last year’s yield. Weather

conditions in the far western beet

sugar producing states has been fav-

orable for harvesting the beet crop,

and the labor supply is said to be suffi'

cient for the needs of growers.





OREGON DAIRYMEN FIGHTING

OLEO INTERESTS.





 





HE dairy industry of Oregon finds



itself in serious difficulties because

of the referendum which has been

forced upon it by the oleomargarine

interests with reference to the Oregon

oleomargarine law passed by the legis

lature last winter, according to Secre—

tary A. M. Loomis, of the American

Dairy Federation.



The oleo interests claim that this

law invades the personal liberty of the

citizen and creates a monopoly; that

it increases the cost of living and pro-

hibits the sale of nut margarine. The

daix‘ymen assert that this law is not

prohibitive, but a law which would

prevent the use of dairy products in

the manufacture of vegetable oleomar-

garine, so that if this oleomargarine

is put on the market in Oregon it must

be a. distinctive product and sold on

its own merits.



The 0190 people in demanding a ref-

erendum, have concentrated their re-

sources for the time being in the state

of Oregon in a campaign of advertis-

ing, billboards, circularizing and other

methods so that the dairy

there is in danger of being overwhelm-

ed by the force of the attack and the





industry \





amount of money that has been poured 9,





into it. If they succeed in this fight

it is believed that they will transfer

their; war on oleomargarlne control

laws to other states having such legis~

lation. The committee which has been

formed to aid the Oregon dairyme‘n in

defending their interests is made up

of representatives of organized labor,

organized dairymen, the Grange, the





Farmers’ Union and the Farm Bureau. '





 





BRITISH LIKE AMERICAN MEAT.





 





‘ HE foreign peoples like American

meat and meat products, and are

consuming them in increasing quantl‘

ties. The direct importation of Amer-

ican’bacon and lardinto British ports

has increased very largely‘ within the

last two or three years, says the de-

partment of commerce. Estimates

have been obtained from reliable

sources which indicate that an aver-

age of 700 to 800 tons of American ba-

con are being imported from the Unit—

ed States into Newcastle every week.

The chief source of competition is

Denmark, that country exporting on

an average of 600 tons of bacon per

week to Newcastle. This competition

is gradually increasing, and were it

not for the fact that the miners and

other workmen prefer the American

bacon, the amount of the Danish busi‘

ness would continue to increase. Swe

den is also trying to enter the English

market.





 





WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH IT?





 





HE Muscle Shoals power plants



will be completed next July. Un‘

less congress makes other arrange‘

ments for the permanent operation of

the plant, Secretary of War Weeks

has given out that he, as custodian of

the property, will proceed upon com-

pletion of the plants to sell the power

to users to whom it will be available,

“probably through existing power com-

panies of the region.” In this event

it will be safe to predict that Muscle

Shoals will become so tangled up with

the properties of the Alabama Power

Company that it will be impossible to

separate them without enormous loss—

es to the government.





PACK IN BOXES SELLS WELL.





 





' PPLE growers in Wisconsin are"





experimenting again this year in

packing their fruit in boxes for east~

ern trade, according to reports to the

Bureau of Agricultural Economics.

Last year two carloads of boxed ap-

ples were packed, which sold in New

York City for prices that brought the

growers more money than stock mar-

keted in barrels and boxes.



This year the growers’ cooperative

association at Sturgeon Bay have so-

cured two expert packers from Ya.-

kami, Washington, who are now pack-

ing twenty cars of fruit. Packing

schools are being conducted, and it is

expected that hereafter many Wiscon-





sin apples will be packed in boxes for,‘





eastern trade. , _



All indications are that the quantity

of eastern apples to be stored this

year will be considerably less than

that stored last season.

R. GEORGE SHIRAS,‘ 3rd, friend

of 'TheodoreRoosevelt, and well-‘

known naturalist, whose sum-

mer home is in Marquette, recently





.» discussed game conservation. Mr.

. Shiras has hunted in Cloverland for





.fifty years and has an unequalled





‘knowledge of the wild life of this





region.



He states that when he first began

to hunt here in the early seventies,

deer were relatively scarce but were

on the increase. Their numbers reach-





. ed the maximum in the early eighties,

_ when, in a single season, 80,000 deer





were killed, 65,000 being shipped out

of the district. Their numbers have

since steadily fallen off and he fears

that total extinction. is ahead of them

unless precautionary measures are

taken beyond anything yet undertak-

en. Having taken some pains to in-





. form himself, he estimates that twice





as many deer are being killed out of

season as in season.



That there ismuch illicit hunting

in the northern woods was confirmed

by other witnesses. At the Marquette

meeting sportsmen told of people driv-

ing through the country, destroying

whole flocks of ducks wantonly and

dynamiting streams of fish with dis-

astrous results. Much of thisis charg-

ed against city people who have no ap~

preciation of the harm they are doing

or, if they have, have a criminal indif-

ference to its effects.



Existing agencies of protection are

not sufficient. Mr. Shiras pointed out

that sufficient game wardens can not

be employed to meet the situation. He

made two positive recommendations

which immediately won the support of

the Marquette sportsmen. They elect-

ed him to attend the Congress of Mich-

igan Game Associations held at Grand

Rapids on October 7, to present the

situation to the lower state hunters

and to ask their cooperation in adopt-

ing further protective measures.



Mr. Shiras advised that the carry-

ing of a gun in the closed scason be

rendered unlawful without the secur-

ing of a special permit to hunt speci-

fied kinds of game as permtited by

law, such as predatory animals. These

permits should be obtainable from the

county clerk without charge. Pres-

ence in the woods with a. gun Without

such permit should be prima facie evi-

dence of an intention to violate the

game laws. Such a law would be much

easier for wardens to enforce than the

existing statutes, Mr. Shiras affirmed.



Secondly, Mr. Shiras recommended

the establishment of large game ref—

uges of 10,000 to 15,000 acres in the

cut-over, second growth region, where

game can have ample cover and pro-

tection. He described What such ref-

uges had done for Pennsylvania, where

depleted game stocks had very largely

increased in recent years. Our pres-

ent game refuges are generally much

too small. If such game refuges are





a’j' x’

‘1.)





created, there will be ample hunting

outside their borders of game that or-

iginated within‘them but spread out

over the country. These refuges should

be stationed at intervals throughout

the district. They would result in a

very large increase of game supply.



This is potentially a wonderful game

country. The second-growth affords

much more and better cover than the

forest primeval. If game refuges are

created, duly wired off and guarded,

game will again become'abundant. If

this is not done, game extinction is

likely. ‘





ADVISES WINTER GRAINS AND

SHEEP.





 





NTONAGON county farmers have



done very well this year with Win-

ter Wheat. The yield. has run from

twenty-five to thirty-five bushels to

the acre. The county agent is advis-

ing his farmers to raise more winter

Wheat. Many fields '.of oats thresh not

to exceed 1,000 pounds of grain to the

acre. Better results will come from

winter grains, both as to yields and in

lessening the amount of spring work.

Agent Clark also advises more sheep

on the farms of his section—twenty-

five to 100 head per farm, requiring

little labor and utilizing rough feeds

that otherwise will be wasted. Such

diversity as this will insure the farm-

er against an all-round failure in any

year. -





DEVELOPS VARIETY OF CORN.





 





RANK H. MOORE took first prize



on yellow dent corn at the Garfield

Fair, his exhibit being fully ripe while

others were immature. Mr. Moore’s

crop was produced from seed that he

propagated himself. Starting about

fifteen years ago with common yellow

dent corn, he crossed it with smut

nose corn by planting alternate rows

of each. He saved the best ears from

the original stock thus crossed, and

crossed this with Pickett’s yellow dent

in the same way. By saving for seed

each year the earliest maturing ears,

he has succeeded in producing a vari-

ety that matures from two to three

weeks earlier than other yellow dents.

He had a four-acre field this year that

was fully mature before frost came,

and which produced sixty bushels of

shelled corn per acre—H. L. Spooner.





The supervisors in Charlevoix coun-

ty have voted an appropriation of

$1,800 toward the support of the coun-

ty agricultural agent.





Every rural community will profit

by'an inventory of its production farm

the school children will profit highly

through the gathering of the material

for such an inventory.

HUNTERS TRESPASSING.





 





Is there any protection by law for

farmers against hunters? They cut

wire fences, leave gates open, and a.

year ago shot one of my cows. —-S. H.





If notices are posted in a conspicu-

ous place upon the premises warning

others to keep off, all persons who are

found upon the premises are liable in

damages for the trespassing commit-

ted and costs of suit.——~Rood.





VERBAL AGREEMENT.





 





Last May I was asked by a dealer

to raise 500 bushels of parsley at sev-

enty~five cents per bushel. I took him

a load of 150 bushels, and he says he

cannot use it, he says he wanted root

parsley If he wanted root parsley,

should he not have said so? Is he

not lesponsible for his contract? Can

he be made to keep it?—E. U.





The only difficulty in the above case

will be to prove the contract. If it

can be shown that the contract was

made to purchase 500 bushels at sev-

enty-five cents, delivered at this time,

or at the time it was offered, and the

delivery was of the same thing that

was to be purchased, the buyer is lia-

ble for the purchase price, less such

amount as the seller was able to real—

ize for the goods elsewhere.——Rood.





BROOM CORN POSSIBILITIES.





 





Will you please give me all the in-

formation you can about raising

broom corn for sale? Do you think it

is profitable, and what is the nearest

market for it, and what should it yield

per acre?—J. G.





Because of the high prices paid for

broom corn brush following years of

low production, farmers frequently be-

come interested in the possibilities of

its production in Michigan. Previous

experience in handling the crop, as

well as considerable special equipment

is necessary if a high-grade brush is

to be produced. Also several farmers

in one community should produce

broom corn in order that marketing

problems may be solved to the best

advantage.



The average yield varies from 300 to

50 pounds of brush per acre. The av-





erage farm price per ton for November

15 has been as follows:



1914 .......................... $ 65.85

’1915 ........................... 92.04

1916 .......................... 172.60

1917 ........................... 295.50

1918 ........................... 205.35

1919 .......................... 160 55

1920 ........................... 122. 67





The cost of producing a ton of brush

has been placed at from $50 to $75 by

successful growers. For detailed in-

formation concerning broom corn cul-

ture your subscriber should secure

ed States Department of Agriculture,

A BALANCED RATION WITH RYE

AS AN INGREDIENT.





 





We Will have only a. small amount

of corn this year, but we have some

rye. Could a suitable ration be made

up if we could substitu e half of the

corn and cobmeal for r -? We have

quite a. lot of oats, and feed oilmeal.

\Ve also feed silage and alfalfa once

a day. Would it be necessary to buy

bran, or could we get a complete ra-

tion without oats (ground), rye, corn

and cobmeal and oilmeal? Could you

give us a balanced ra’tibn consisting of

these feeds?——A. K.





It is entirely practical to make a.

balanced ration from the foods named

by substituting ground rye for a por-

tion of the corn-and-cob meal. Had

the amount of corn—and-cob meal usu-

ally fed in the past been given, then a.

ration could have been compounded

using just half as much corn—and-cob

meal, but now the amount must be as-

sumed.

two pounds of corn-and—cob meal, that





 





 





For practical purposes one.





is, rye has twice the food value of the

corn-and-cob meal. Cob meal is al-

most worthless as a food. The only

excuse for using it is. to make the ra-

tion more bulky and when the corn

meal is mixed with other grains, like

oats and bran, this excuse no longer

exists.



It is not necessary to buy brain in

this combination of foods. You have





- a. splendid variety without it.





Eight pounds of alfalfa hay and

thirty pounds of corn silage will fur-

nish a fair bulk for the ration, though

you could use a little more alfalfa if

you have plenty of it.





Four pounds of corn-and-cob meal,

two pounds of ground rye, two pounds

of ground oats and two pounds of oil

meal with the roughage will furnish a.

ration containing 2.56 pounds of diges.

tible crude protein, 13.12 pounds of

carbohydrates, and .86 pounds of fat.

This is quite well balanced and suffi«

cient for cows giving a fair flow of

milk. It is based, of course, on 1,000

pounds live weight. If the cow weighs

more the ration should be increased

in proportion, and if she weighs less it.

will be necessary to reduce it, as it

will not be consumed.



At the present price of rye it may:

be advisable to sell the rye and in--

crease the oats by a like amount.





 





SOUR MILK AS FERTILIZER.





Would like to know if it would be a.

good thing to cover my garden before

plowing it in spring, with sour milk?

I have a chance to get enough. Some

say it is a good thing, while others

say it is not. —L. A. J.





Soul milk can usually be used much

more profitably for purposes other

than that of applying to the land. It

is necessary to apply quite a large

quantity of milk if the fertility of the

soil is to be increased. The follow-

ing table from Babcock shows amount:

of fertilizing elements in milk.





 





The nitrogen and mineral content of

cows’ milk, and pounds of elements

per 10,000 pounds of milk are as fol—

lows:



Nitrogen, 60 lbs.;

phosphorous, 7.5

Potassium, 14 lbs.;

CHEATING THE OLD SCRAP PILE.





(Continued from page 377).

stance. There are ten acres to be

plowed for fall wheat. Disc-harrowing

will not do, the ground must be turned

over. The first morning an accident

to the tractor put it out of service

with a crack in the cylinder block.



A new block can be obtained only

from the factory, and this will take

weeks. Added to the cost of the new

block is the freight or express and,

unless the work can be properly done

on the farm the cost of installing the

new block. In the meantime the plow-

ing waits, unless a man and a team of

horses can be put to it.



W'elding will do away with nearly

all of this delay, and much of the ex-

pense. The cracked block is simply

removed from the tractor, and taken

to the nearest welding shop. There

it is carefully preheated, the crack

welded and the casting slowly cooled

—all of this work will not take a day.



And the results are very much

worth while. The scrap pile is cheat-

ed. The cost of a new cylinder block

is saved. But best of all, the plowing





'can go right ahead.





This incident is but a. sketchy illus-

tration of the possible value of weld-

ing on the farm. Hundreds of similar

instances might be cited of savings

that are now being made, or that could

be made were the value of this recla-

NEW.‘ SEED POTATO enowsn‘s'

ORGANIZATION.





 





NEW certified seed potato grow-

ers’ association has been started

and articles of incorporation have

been filed with the secretary of state.

The first steps toward the organiza-

tion of the new association were tak-

en recently when Prof. J: F. Cox, of

the Michigan Agricultural College met

with a few leading seed potato grow-

ers in Cadillac. The purposes of the

association are to encourage the pro

duction of, certified seed potatoes, .to

provide a cooperative plan for market-

ing such seed, and to improve the

commerCial crop of potatoes in the

state by encouraging the use of better

seed by the growers. ,

Henry Curtis, president of the Mich-

igan Potato Growers’ Exchange, was

appointed temporary chairman and J.

W. Weston will serve as temporary

corresponding secretary of the new as-

sociation. A meeting for the purpose

of completing the organization of the

association will be held in Cadillac on

November 25.





HOLD PLOWING CONTEST.





 





 





THE plowing contest conducted un-

der the auspices of the St. Clair

County Farm Bureau was a huge suc-

cess. At least 3,000 people saw the

contestants in action during the day.

There were twenty-two entries, eight-

een teams and four tractors.

Special classes were arranged for

Lambton county, Ontario, plowmen

and for professional plowmen using

high-cutting plows, (a. plow used sole-

ly for plowing contests which enables

plowmen to do work that is indeed

pretty to look at).

\ The oldest plowman was William

Wadland, of St. Thomas, Ontario, sev-

enty-five years old, who won third

prize in the professional class. The

youngest was Robert Robertson, of

Yale, Michigan, twelve years old, who

won first prize in the boys’ class of

four entries. ‘ 3.

MAKING A HOT-BED.





 





Will you please tell me how to make

a hot-bed? I wish to start some plants

early next spring—C. S.





A hot-bed is usually made with ma.-

nure as the heating material. The

manure is put through a. fermenting

process before it is used for hot-bed

purposes. It is placed in square-top

piles, not more than from four to six

feet high. After these piles start fer:

menting, they should be forked over

to equalize the fermentation in the

pile.



If you wish to make a hot-bed in the

spring, it would be advisable to make

a. compost heap of manure immediate-

ly. Manure it as above. One-half

straw in the manure is good for this

purpose. A common size for a hot-bed

is twelve feet long and six feet wide.

This would enable one to use three

hot-bed sashes. In making a 'bed to

accommodate this frame, it should be

dug about two feet deep.



The pit should be dug in the fall

and filled with straw so that it will

not freeze deeply, the latter part of

February or early in March, when the

hot-bed is prepared for use, the straw

is taken out and a little coarse mate-

rial is put in the bottom of the pit to

keep the manure from getting in di-

rect contact with the earth. About

two feet of manure is placed in the

pit and thoroughly stamped down.

The usual procedure is to put in about

eight inches of manure, stamp it down.

and then add some more, and repeat

the process until the necessary amount

has been used. Just above the ma-

nure a very thin layer of leaf mould,

or some other porous material should

be used, and then from four to six

inches of soft garden loam, in which

the plants are to be grown. The ma-

nure will usually heat vigorously a

few days after it has been put in the

frame.



The frame should be kept closed

tight, and when the temperature gets

below ninety degrees in the frame,

seeds of warm plants, like tomatoes,

may be sown. One really needs some

experience in the control of the hot-

bed to make the best of it.



If you wish to sell plants to your

customers, it might be well to buy

some of the frost—proof in fair—sized

quantities, and then retail them to

your customers. One subsciber wrote

that she had done very well retailing

these plants.

VARIETY APPRECIATED BY HE‘NS.





VARIETY of green feed is appre-

like mangels better when used every

second or third day. Other days the

green feed can consist of cabbages,

cull vegetables or sprouted cats. A

laying section helps to keep the hens

interested in life on dark cloudy days.

WHEN feeding new corn it pays to

digestive disturbance if they have a

balanced laying mash at the same

time. The easily digested ground grain

and the bran in the mash is a great

help in keeping the pullets healthy. A

lot of bowel trouble in the fall may be

caused by heavy feeding of new corn,

combined with empty mash hoppers.

‘Don’tbeSatisfied with “Pin

Money” Profits from Poultry





It’s just as easy to make it pay a worth while in—

come. Government figures show astonishing facts





EW people realize the immense



sums paid to poultry raisers

every year.‘ Yet U. 8. Government

statistics place poultry values for 1923

at $1,047,000,000l This amazing

sum is greater by $300,000, 000 than

the total Wheat crop! It is greater

than the value of all cattle raised.

It is more than three times the en-

tire tobacco crop. Four times the

commercial truck crops. More than

twice the combined potato and

sweet potato crops.





Year ’round Profits





In the face of these figures it is‘hard

to associate poultry With pin

money,” as many do. For records

prove that poultry, properly han—

dled, can be made an unending

source of profit for the owner. In fact, on

many farms poultry intelligently handled

shows greater profit per dollar investment





than any other branch of the business. The .





oultry raiser has a. steady, year ’round

‘crop" of eggs and poultry to sell. A

market is always waiting for the supplies

he produces. Crop rotation, fertilizing,

droughts and frosts mean nothing to the

poultry raiser.





Feeding Very Important





In raising poultry for profit proper feed-

ing is absolutely essential. Proper feeding

means healthier hens———more eggs—stur-

dier, faster growing chicks. Proper feed-

ing means the difference between failure

and success in the poultry business. It is

folly to try to “save ” on feed—or to feed

on a hit—or-miss plan. Careful feeding of

a scientifically balanced ration is the

July, 1915. November first he purchased

ten g00d quality single comb white leg-

horns from F. V. Stapf.





It is a point of interest that we had noth—

ing in view in regards to keeping poultry

on a large scale, but owing to success from

the very beginning, throu h rigid culling

and mating, have increase the number of

birds, each year, that at the present writ-

ing have a flock of 1500 birds.





We depend entirely on sales of market

eggs for improvements and cost of

feeds. In other words—"Eggs and still

more Eggs” is our main objective, espe-

cially in the form of high flock averages.

The first laying house erected at Bandi’s

farm was 6 ft. x 8 ft. shed roof type. Now

oneof our present laying houses contains

oyer 4000 sq. ft. of floor space.





Our annual output of eggs and chicks now

runs well into the thousands.





Our average net profit $3.00 per year

in the long run, even tho it seems to cost

a little more at the start.





Egg Mash Necessary





You can’t look for a big egg production

or expect to develop healthy chicks, un-

less you feed your hens properly. And

no hen is properly fed unless her ration

includes a good egg mash. Feed scratch

grains daily. This develops yolks. But

yolks alone don’t make eggs. The

whites must be built at the same time. To

make whites, egg mash is an absolute

necessity. The right kind of egg mash

promotes egg production in a healthy, nor-

mal manner. Since so much depends on the

egg mash you use, it is important that you

chose carefully. Your selection will mean

the difl’erence between profit and loss.





The Choice of 400,000





Thousands of experienced poultry raisers

recommend Dickinson’s Globe. The rea-

son for this is easily understood. Dickin-

son’s Globe Egg Mash, when used as

directed, never fails to bring results. It is

the result of more than 22 years of ex-

haustive tests and experiments, plus the

experience of practical poultry raisers.

These tests have been carried out by our

poultry experts on our research experi-

mental farm. The result is an ideal Egg

Mash. Because of this Globe Egg Mash

is now the choice of 400,000 poultry

raisers. It will pay you to get detailed

information from your local Globe mer-

chant. He is a good man to know.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSU RE.





 





LD ‘Uncle Walt, who lived many

years of a. long and useful life





item has been annoyed in his latter





pthe doctors such an uproarious inning.

It is quite clear to him that it is a

put-up job. The doctors and nature

are combining to get even with him

for the immunity'of his glorious youth,

and now they tell him that he has

some new—fangled disease called “blood

pressure.”



Uncle Walt is not the only one to

get the false impression that blood

pressure is a disease. It is not a dis.

ease. Every living person has blood

pressure. It is not to be counted a.

isymptom of disease unless widely var-

ied from'normal. A fair, general esti-

mate of normal bloOd pressure is 120

at the age of twenty, with an addition

of one-half point for each increasing

year of age, but there is no fixed nor-

’mal point.



What do I mean by 120? When the

doctor tells you that your blood pres«

suré is too high, because it is up to

160, what does he mean?



The blood pressure is measured by

an instrument called a sphygmomano-

meter. This measures the force of the

circulation of the blood through the

arteries, which is the plain English

explanation of blood pressure.





Variations in blood pressure may be

caused by many different things. Age,

sex, excitement, weakness, hunger,

heat, cold, nervousness, all have an in-

fluence. To insure accuracy a doctor

prefers to take the blood pressure sev-

eral times. The normal standard for

one person may be high or low for an-

other. But if your blood pressure var-

ies greatly from the average it is well

to know it and to have your doctor

find the reason.





High blood pressure may be from

hardening of the arteries, disease of

the kidneys, heart disease, nervous or

mental impairment, chronic poisoning

from deficient elimination, excessive

use of liquors or tobacco, or it may be

simply an indication of overwork.



Low blood pressure is generally as—

sociated with some debilitating dis-

ease such as anemia, tuberculosis or

chronic valvular heart disease.



The variation in blood pressure is

much more likely to be too high than

too low. There are certain general

principles, helpful in the treatment of

such sufferers, no matter what the

cause of the high pressure. They are

summed up in the advice: “Ease up.

Cut loose from the high tension.

There are things more important than

business, more important that crops,

even more important than raising a

family in comfortable ease.”





GETS NUMB IN HANDS.





My hands get numb and at times

my arms from elbows down, very eas—

ily. Does it indicate paralysis ?~—L. B.



Such numbness as you mention is

of no special significance. It seems

to exist in some families as a family

trait. I have not found such persons

predisposed to apoplexy or paralysis,

for these are circulatory troubles,

while this numbness is a nerve com-

plaint.





TREATING UTERUS.





In the last few years has there been

any new way found for treating a. pro-

lapsed uterus?—M. A. G.



Treatment for prolapsed uterus de-

pends much upon the age of patient,

degree of prolapsus and cause of same.

If due to tear of. perineal floor at child-





‘ birth the treatment is to repair the





lacerated tissues. It simply due to

atony of muscles no operation is de-

sirable. If the patient is old and get.-

ting along fairly well, operation is not

worth while. , ,

‘ LL day it had rained, a cold and

' dismal October rain. Finley Mor-



oton had been glad when evening-

came and.he could go to Janway’s for

supper, with the prospect of a pretty

decent movie afterward. Morton, who

was only twenty-three, had worked

with a consuming diligence at his job

of assistant electrical engineer. He

knew the power plant on the river be-

low the city, a fourth of the people in

his rooming-house, one movie theater,

sharply, his intelligent gray eyes shin-

ing innrising anger. _ ' .‘

“But I can't,” Horton protested, “for

I don’t know!" _

At this instant a girl came i‘n—«a

clean~limbed and rangy, blue-eyed and

handsome girl, the girl of Janway’s.

Her gaze was hard upon the visitor.

“It’s simple, Uncle Dolph,” she said,

smiling bewitchingly if sonnewhat ner-

vously. “He took your coat from the

hook instead of his own; I‘distinctly

remember seeing him there. The coats

look very much alike, especially when

they are wet. Don’t you see?”

Morton took the damp garment off

with a small and apologetic smile and

gave it to the girl. She hastened into

the hallway and came back immedi-

ately with Morton’s ovm damp coat.





hinges, and hastened up the cracked

old concrete walk. There was, he not-

_, ed a flicker of firel'ight against the

drawn'shades of one front room. He

mounted the steps, brushed his feet on

an old grass mat, approached the dong.

ble doors and found an old-fashioned

brass knocker instead of a bell. ‘ '



in answer to his summons, there

came at once a feminine voice, a little

frightened, challenging: “Who’s

there?”



The name hardly matters,” said

Morton. “I’ve got something that be





 





either of them in Janway's before.

One of them was an old man, tall and

straight, smooth-faced, with a thin

beak of a nose and a pair of very in-

telligent gray eyes. The other was a.

young woman, fair-skinned, blue-eyed,

brown-haired, and handsome rather

than merely pretty—one of those

strong, clean-limbed, rangy young

women who have evidently grown up

mostly out of doors. Both were dress-

ed in exceedingly good taste, though

not at the height of fashion.



Quite naturally, it was the girl that

received most of Morton’s attention.

She had a. worried air, the air of one

who is at bay but is not willing to sur-

render. As she sat down at a nearby

table, Morton’s gaze met hers for a

bare second; and he would have

sworn that she gave him a tiny, pass-

ing look of appeal. The old man, as

deliberate in his movements as a.

clock, took off his overcoat and hat

and hung them on a. rack on the wall,

beside Morton’s overcoat and hat.



The picture that night, though it

starred one of Morton’s favorites, was

strangely uninteresting to him. He

kept thinking backward in spite of his

attempts to focus his mind upon the

silent drama; kept seeing again that

tiny passing look of appeal in the blue

eyes of the girl in Janway’s; it simply

would not be forgotten. When the

last reel had come to an end, he rose

and went out, and walked past Jan-

way’s quite as though he expected to

see the couple in there still.



Soon he brought up with a jerk in

front of his rooming-house.



“Finley Morton,” he said to himself,

“you’re a fool. You’re clean crazy,

bughouse, a plain nut. G0 upstairs and

to bed, and see if you can’t sleep it off

——this moon-madness!”



His room, though it was comfortably

furnished and warm, he found unusu-

ally lonely and cheerless. After snap-

ping on a second light, he drew off the

overcoat he had been wearing and

threw it carelessly across the back of

a chair——and saw something fall to the

floor from an inside pocket.



Morton stooped and picked it up in

an idle fashion. It was a long, black-

leather wallet, one that his eyes had

never before seen!



“What now?” he asked himself, in a.

voice that suggested annoyance. “Who

dim scrawl in pencil that Morton did

not even try to read. He put the

things back.



Then he saw that the outside of the

wallet bore a name and an address in

very small, goldleaf lettering, and he

read slowly: '



“Adolphus 0. Grain, 3001 Tunnel Hill

Road.”



He went on somehow boyishly, his

eyes now shining: “Mystery here—

romance, too, maybe, and I’ll see it

through.”



He drew the overcoat on again,

pocketed the wallet, went down to the

soggy street, found a taxi and stepped

into it.



3001 Tunnel Hill Road,” he ordered,

and slammed the door shut.



Tunnel Hill Road was a continua-

tion of one of the city’s main residen—

tial avenues. It ran through a rolling

country of farms and orchards, foot-

hills of the Smokies, following the gen— ‘

oral line of the river. Finley Morton

knew the road, but he did not know

3001.. For that matter, neither did the

taxi-driver, but he found it. It was a

big house, and very old, and it. had

once been white. Trees smothered it

on all sides. The deep lawn was chok-

ed with wild grasses and weeds, and

the shrubbm-y was ragged.



“Wait,” said Morton, stepping out

and avoiding a small pond of water by

a scant inch.



The driver cut his motor off. Mor-

he said deprecatingly. “Maybe I’d bet-

“Wait,” old Crain interrupted, “Come

He drew the young woman into the

hallway, where they held a short con-

versation in tones so low that Morton

did not catch a word of it. Morton

began, to feel even more ill at case.

There was about it something that

seemed almost weird, after the mat-

He floundered hopelessly and be-

came silent. The puzzled smile that

had come to the younger man’s lips

died quickly at sight of the other’s

distressed countenance. Morton be-

came vaguely sympathetic. While he

was trying to think of words that

would convince Crain that he was not

implicated in any plot against anybody

on earth, there was a soft pounding at

the door, and a feminine voice cried

out in desperation~



“Uncle Dolph! Let me Jim—Uncle

Dolph!”



Crain jerked the door open. The

young woman of Janway’s almost fell

into the room, and behind her came a

great brute ofaman, dark and smooth-

faced and bull-necked, in shining wet

boots and clothing that was soaked.

Finley Morton instinctively rushed .

For some minutes after that, there

was the heaviest of silence. Then one

of the double doors opened, and Mor-

ton made out in the semi-darkness of

the hall the dim outlines of the tall

old man he had seen in Janway’s early

in that same evening!



“You have my wallet?” Adolphus 0.

Grain asked anxiously. He had just

“Yes,” said Morton. ' -

IT WAsNrr A BAOLGLEY MAN AFTER





 





T,was with many misgivings ,that





the little boy went to-bed at Rolly



Rabbit’s house. He had been away

from home two nights. Here every-

thing was strange, new and puzzling

to him. He couldn’t make Rolly Rab-

bit or the big bear, Bruin, understand

what he wanted. Neither could Rolly

Rabbit and Bruin make the little boy

understand their animal language ex-

cept by a few signs.



Only‘by Rolly’s pointing to the bed

and yawning did the little boy know

where he was to sleep. It was in a

little bed made of big logs, not a bit

like his own little bed at home.



And Mother wasn’t there to tuck

him and send him to Slumberland with

a good-night caress. A big chokey

lump was in the little boy’s throat, but

he was so tired he soon forgot it all

and went to sleep. Anyway, it was

much better than sleeping out in the

woods alone all night.



He was soon fast asleep. How long

he had slept he didn’t know, but it

was still very dark when he awoke.





And wide awake he was. Only the a





light of the new moon made a dim

shadow on the floor.



“Oh, my! What was that?” breathed

the little .boy as he sat up in bed.



Was a burglar trying to get in Rolly

Rabbit’s house?



“Bur-Burr—ez-z,” it went, first high,

then low.



Perhaps it might be a bogey man of





 





 





 





   





Perhaps it Wa

the Big Woods. The little boy had

often heard about them.



Again he heard it. “Bur~Burr—ez-z.”

Even louder than ever.



The little boy wondered if Rolly

Rabbit or Bruin was awake. He didn’t

think so, and someway he must wake

them up.



Again “Burr-Bur-ez—z,“ and he duck-

_ed his head under the covers.



At last he crept quietly over to

where Rolly was sleeping. He shook

him to wake him up, and as the “Burr-

bur-ez-z” was heard again the little

boy trembled and pointed to the door.



Rolly Rabbit rubbed his sleepy eyes

but seemed to understand. The little

boy was afraid of that noise. He

thought a bogey man was trying to get

them. »



He chuckled to himself. Taking the

little boy by the hand, and with the

candle in the other, he led him over

to Bruin’s bed.



Again “Burr-bur-ez-z.” The little boy

understood. All this noise that he

thought was a bogey man was really

Bruin snoring.



So the little boy went back to bed

but it was a long time before he went

to sleep.

_ N these days color has become one

of the most important factors in

the decoration and beautifying of



the home, and one of the simplest and

most successful methods of introduc-

ing color into a room is by means ,of

paint, and many new paint mixtures

suitable for use on a variety of sur-

faces have been produced to meet the

demand.





A most effective color note, for ex-

ample, can be produced by painting a

wooden floor with a special floor paint,

or by using the same paint over a neu-

tral-tinted linoleum. This paint can

be procured in a number of shades,

from a warm brown or soft gray to a

vivid blue or bright buttercup yellow.

A floor thus painted gives a note of

color and gaiety to an otherwise dull

and dreary room, and brings a change

with the more usual scheme of inten-

sified colors in wall or furniture.





From an economy point of view

fioor paint is also a great asset, for it

can be used as a covering in the case

of shabby or worn linoleum. It has a

hard, non-chipping surface, and wears

very well.



The painted floor is much in vogue

these days. Many charming colors

can be obtained by means of a painted

floor in conjunction with rugs of con-

trasting or neutral shades, and soft-

toned draperies. The dreariest “back-

room,” or attic can be made “livable”

if colored floor is introduced in keep-

ing with the furnishings.



The value of paint as a beautifier of

the commonplace has not been alto-





 





HE human heart is like a



millstone in a. mill; when

you put wheat under it, it turns

and grinds and bruises the wheat

to flour; if you put no wheat, it

still grinds on, but when ’tis

itself it grinds and wears away.

—Martin Luther.





 





gether appreciated in the past; yet

the most charming results can be ac-

complished with a little ingenuity.

The dullest-looking chair, for instance,

can be transformed into a thing of

gayety by a coat of enamel and a dec-

oration of fruit and flowers. Furni-

ture painting is not a difficult art, and

is sufiiciently fascinating to be well

worth while. Enamel gives the best

results.



The preparation of the surface to be

painted is an important step, and

should be carefully attended to if sat-

isfactory results are to be obtained.

Any handles, knobs, etc., should be re-

moved from the furniture and treated

separately. The surface must be made

perfectly smooth by rubbing well with

either pumice stone or glasspaper. It

should then be given a thin coating

of “filler”—~a fiat paint for use under-

neath the final coating.



The “filler” is bought as a thick

paste, and needs to be thinned down

with turpentine before being used. The

surface must then be allowed to dry

thoroughly, and afterwards rubbed

down once more with paper glass, and

remember, all this preliminary care is

essential in order to obtain an abso-

lutely flat surface.



If the final coating is of enamel,

- care must be taken to apply it very

even. Two coatings of thin enamel,





evenly applied, are much more satis—j'





factory than ‘one thicker coating.



If floral decorations are to be first

executed, the Whole surface should

first be painted, and then the portion

to which the design is to be applied

should once more be rubbed with

glass-paper, and the design lightly

drawn in with pencil before the colors

are applied. A thin coating of light

varnish should be finally given. All

sorts of things can be treated-in this

way. A very successful window-box,

for example, a man may make by fix-

ing an oblong box of the right dimen-

sions on to an ordinary towel~rack

and painting the whole stand black—

with perhaps a thin line or border of

some gay color. The box can then be

filled with flowers and is a distinctive

piece in your living—room. \



Wickerwork lends itself to color and

decorating very well, and by using





enamel very charming effects can be

secured.





FAREWELL TO DISHTOWELS.





 





HE dishtowel is doomed! Well-

scalded dishes dried in the air are

much less likely to carry "cold” germs

from one member of the family to the

others, according to Dr. Freda M.

Bachmann, of the bacteriology depart-

ment of the University of Wisconsin.

Other spreaders of germs are com-

mon towels, and drinking cups; while

carelessness in laundering linens used

by sick persons, and failure to keep

them apart from the rest of the family

may also contribute to a cold “going

through the family.”



“If you spread the germs evenly

around on your dishes with a dish

towel how can you expect them to be

safe?” she asks. “The best way is to

wash the dishes thoroughly, scald

It is not the gift but the giving that

As an inspiration for this sort of

simple, dainty embroidery patterns al-

Bluebird Scallop.



If you happen to have had an over-

idea how attractive that is until you

them together, front to front, or back

to back or at right angles to form a

corner.



You can make the bird blue, but

can also do his breast in coral red like

the little 'songster really is. It is ‘es-

pecially pleasing fitted in with a seal-

lop of similar curve for guest towels,

bed linens or lunch cloth. This de—

sign is correct size to transfer through

worked in simple buttonhole and out-

Our We'd/y Sermon—By N. A. Mchme





LITTLE/boy came home from a

A vacation resort. No sooner had



he arrived at home than he dis-

appeared around the house, and under

the back porch where Jerry, his dog,

was supposed to be waiting. But Jerry

was not there. However, there were

evidences that Jerry had been there

in the not distant past, and the small

boy went to bed unworried. In the

early morning, another visit was made

to Jerry’s abode, which was found to

be still vacant. Whistles and calls

aroused a , protesting neighborhood.

The family in charge of the premises

was inquired of, and replied that not

a meal had been missed while his mas-

ter was away. The search went on all

day. The milkman and others were

pressed into Service. The postman

promised to keep an eye out for a dog

of a certain size and color. Police

agreed to hélp in the search. The

alleys and back door yards fonblocks

around were. scoured. The Whole com-

munity was stirred, inside and out,





over the loss of a-





small boy’s dog.

If that dog was

found, he must

have received a

welcome such as

few dogs have en-

joyed.



What happened

to the dog also

happened to the

prodigal. This is the outstanding par-

able of all those that Christ spoke, and

that is saying a great deal, for no oth-

er teacher ever spoke parables of life,

as Christ did. In this connection I

want to include here the words of

William Lyon Phelps, found in his de~

lightful little book, “Reading the

Bible.” Be good to yourself and get

this book and read it aloud, to other

members of the family. It doesn’t cost

much. Says Professor, Phelps:





 





HE parable of the Prodigal Son is



not properly named. The word

prodigal occurs nowhere in the Bible.

The reason why this is called the par-

able ot’ the Prodigal Son is because

most readers still suppose it to be

merely a story of sin, repentance and

fatherly love. But it is really a story

of a man who had two sons; and there

is as much emphasis on the elder as

on the younger brother. The Puritan

conception of sin was generally so

narrow that our ancestors actually be—

lieved that the rich farmer had two

sons, one of whom was good, the other

bad. Now, as a matter of fact, he had

two bad sons, both very bad, of whom





."the elder was the worse. Let us grant





the selfishness and debauchery of the

younger. Perhaps he would never

have come home at all if his money

had not given out, sharpening the im-

portunate spur of hunger. And it was

by no accident that his father met

him on his return. The father was

sure he would come home again, and

who knows how many days he had

gone forth to await his appearance?

When the ashamed lad tried to apolo-

gize, the father made him feel at once

that his motive in returning was of

no importance compared with the ov-

erwhelming joy of the face.





“Now to regard the elder son as

good and the brother as bad is surely

to misunderstand profoundly the true

significance of this marvelous story.

The elder brother was so case-harden-

ed by selfish respectability that no

force of love could break through his

armor. His petulance is the outward

sign of ineradicable and incurable

vice. When did I ever transgress thy

commandment? When have I ever

done anything wrong? That negative

conception of virtue has been respon-

sible for the error of all errors con-





, cerning the beauty of holiness. Is vir-





tue, then, negative? If his father had

not. been so obstrepously happy in his





boy’s return, he might have asked this

cold-hearted prig some embarassing

questions.”





SO much for Professor Phelps’s in-

terpretation. Let us see what some

of the high points of this parable are.

The self-important young man went

into the far country. “The far coun-

try," said St. Augustine, “is forgetful-

ness of God. A man is removed afar

from God, not by legions but by his

feelings.” He was seeking freedom.

Get away from the parental roof, said

he, and then I can do as I please. But

what is freedom? The only freedom is

in obedience. Obedience to regular

habits means the freedom of health.

Defy the canons of good food, sleep,

and virtue, and you are bound hand

and foot by dyspepsia, or something

worse. The stars seem to be free.

Yet they obey strictly the laws of

gravitation and attraction, and move

in certain orbits through the centur-

ies. Freedom without obedience is as

impossible as fire without fuel. Many

moderns do not seem to understand

that, however. He began to be in

want. His freedom had not brought

plenty, power and happiness, as he

had expected it would. The young

man could have recited with feeling

the lines of another young man who

tried the same thing he did, if the

lines had been written then. Byron

said of himself:

My days are in the yellow leaf,



The flowers, the fruits of love are





gone;

The worm, the canker and the grief,

Are mine alone.

The fire that on my bosom preys

ls lone as some volcanic isle;

No torch is kindled at its blaze,

A funeral pile!”





HERE was a distinct mark of



hope with respect to the wander-

er. “He went and joined himself to

a citizen of that country.” He did not

feel at home there. He was still a

stranger, not a citizen. He had en-

tered the country, had smeared him-

self with its baser elements, but yet

he had not become so thoroughly de-

bauched that he wanted to stay. He

did not get much satisfaction out of

the far country. In fact, the far coun-

try never treats its citizens with re-

spect. The climate is exhausting, the

food debilitating, the associations de-

moralizing. The devil pays low wag-

es. Swine were the best companions

he could find. “He. who would not, as

a son, be treated liberally by his fath-

er, is compelled to be the slave of a

foreign master; he who would not be

ruled by God, is compelled to serve

the devil; he who would not abide in

his father’s royal palace, is sent to the

field among hinds; he who would not

dwell among brethren and princes, is

obliged to be the companion of brutes;

he who would not feed on the bread

of angels, petitions in his hunger for

the husks of swine." This is Well i1-

lustrated by a young man whose body

was found in Quebec this past sum-

mer, lying beside his limousine. A

note was pinned to his coat, “Do not

mind me. My name would be useless

to you. But I wish the world to know

that I committed suicide because I

was too happy. I always got what I

wanted in my life. My parents are

millionaires. I realized all that it was

humanly possible to wish. I do not

find life good enough to remain in it.”

This youth was not like the young

man of Christ’s parable, for he never

got back from the far country.



The finest touch in the parable is

that of the old father, going down the

road, to meet his penitent, dust-cov-

ered boy. A perfect picture of God.

An oil range that directs the heat

right on the cooking . ff;





UST look at the business-like way the flame behaves in

the Florence Oil Range. Notice that it doesn’t spread

out wastefully in all directions. See how it goes straight

to the bottom of the pot— intense, concentrated heat.





That’s why we speak of the Florence as the oil range

with focused heat—it has the special construction that

sends the heat into the cooking, where you want it—and

not into the kitchen, where you don’t.





Better for the cooking— better for you





You notice the difference when you see the Florence. The

most elaborate cooking is possible with this handsome

range—the slow, through—and-through cooking for cereals,

the quick, hot cooking that makes steaks crisp outside and

tender inside.



It is easy to operate the Florence. N o priming, no

messy wicks to trim, no guesswork about the heat of your

flame—just a simple turning of the levers and your clear

gas-like flame gives you any degree of

cooking heat you desire.



The Florence is economical. With the

heat focused where you want it, the

cooking gets done in less time, with less

fuel. The Florence delivers to the cook~

ing more heat in a given time from a

given amount of kerosene than any

other oil range.



Ask about Florence Ranges and Ovens

at a department, furniture, or hardware

store. Find out more about the Florence

and the things you can cook and bake on

it by sending for our free booklet, “Get

Rid of the ‘Cook Look’.”

W hat School

By Bernice M. Ball, M. 0., Charlotte,

Michigan.

In discussions with various people

I have found that very few agree up-

on this subject. I do not think that

I ever really appreciated the value of

getting an education until about a.

year ago. In my high school course

I took up public speaking. It opened

my eyes and made me see that much

more knowledge could be obtained if

we would only take advantage of some

of the many opportunities around us.

I have found that school is like

many other things in that the more

we put into it, the more we gain from

it. I always enjoyed going to school

but I have enjoyed it much more since

I began to put more effort into my

work.





I am taking chemistry and I find it

to be a very interesting course. There

are so many things I have always won-

dered about in baking and cooking.

The study of chemistry has answered

my question, “What makes soda bub-

ble up when hot water is poured upon

it?” This is only one of several in-

cidents.





Another course I am taking is do-

mestic art. I am learning many things

about sewing and we are beginning to

study textiles.





English is also a very interesting

and worthwhile subject. Our English

this year takes up the old English and

the origin of our language. We have

lots of fun trying to read Chaucer’s

works.





While we are tracing our language

in English, we are also tracing our

race, through the various steps of civ-

ilization in history. In connection

with my school work I attended avery

interesting lecture on “Rome and Ath-

ens,” a. short time ago. Most people

I know would not consider it a. very

interesting topic but the man who

gave it could make nearly anything

interesting. If I had not been attend-





 





 





Murie'i White is Apparently a Modern

Girl as well as “Barrel Walker.”





ing school I should have missed some

good pictures and a fine talk, because

the lecture was not extensively adver-





tised. I believe I spoke a while ago

of having taken a course 1n public





speaking. Many people I have talked

with upon the subject, and who didn’t

know anything about the course, ask-

ed, “Why, what’s the use of taking

that, you will never be a public speak-

er?” I want to answer that question

right now. It has given me the ability

to appreciate good speakers when I

hear them, and to understand what he

is trying to explain. It has increased





~my vocabulary to a. great extent} And





one of the most important things of





all, I can express myself clearly and

concisely without stammering and 108-





ing control over my wits.

I want to say in closing, that I have

learned by experience that if you want





 





 





 





Means to Me





‘ By Confer! W inner:





to get the most out of school life, you

must put your whole self into it, de-

termined to gain everything there is

to gain. , '





 





By Hollie Parks, Shafteburg, Michigan.



Some of the chief advantages you

get from going to school are:



1. You learn to obey.



When you get into the outside world

and work under a boss you will have

to obey his orders. If you do not obey

in school you will find that you have

formed a habit, for you will break the

laws and be fined or put into jail.



2. You learn to reason.



I think geometry is one of the best

subjects given in high school, because

you learn to reason. For every state-

ment you make you have to tell why

you could make it. Geometry makes

you think straight.



3. It makes you concentrate.



My Latin did me more good in





When you were a little boy.did‘ you

my work than has any other subject





I have taken. It also makes many





~ English words easy to understand, be-





cause they are derived from Latin.



4. You learn how many things

shouldtbe.



In physics you learn that a. pendu-

lum should be 39.117 inches long to

tick seconds. You also learn that

steam occupies 1,700 times as much

space as does water at four degrees





Centigrade, and many other similar,





things.

5. You learn how to do your work

easier and swifter.





For instance, let us discuss the lev-

er of the first class. By placing the

fulcrum nearer the end of the lever

you can lift much more, but you can

not lift it very high. By placing the

fulcrum at the center of the lever you

can not lift any more than you exert

but you can lift it quite high.



6. You learn how to write all kinds

of letters, how to talk correctly and

many other important things.



I think that everyone should have

at least a. high school education.

Dear Uncle Frank:



I am a. newcomer. May I join in?

My brother is an M. C. He has tried

a few contests but had no luck, so I

thought I would try and see what luck

I would have. We take the Michigan

Farmer and like :it. I am thirteen

years old and am in the seventh grade.

My father’s name is Frank, and now I

will have an Uncle Frank. I hope the

W. B. is sleeping this time. With love

to all except the W. B., from your

want-to-be niece, Lillian Benovic,

Rothbury, Mich.



I am glad to have you become in—

terested in the Merry Circle. How is

it your brother got interested first?

The girls are usually the ones most

interested. Tell your brother to keep

on trying.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Say, Uncle, I have been surprised

‘just twice in my life, 'once when I was

born and the other time when I re-

ceived my flashlight. It sure is a.

dandy, and I thank you a. thousand

times for it.



Harold Coles, M. 0., must be very

popular in the Merry Circle column

because almost every M. F. I read has

his name in it.





I have been picking up potatoes the

last week, and am quite lame. Say,

Uncle Frank, do you like to see baby

colts? Each of my brothers own one,

and they are very nice. One is a. sor-

rel and the other black.



Uncle Frank, I would like to know

about the correspondence scramble,

and I wish we could have another one

and for pity sakes, if not for mine,

don’t close so soon. Mother says,

“Start supper, 'Lulu,” so I’ll have to

hurry—With love, from Lulu Craven.

M. C., Levering, Mich.



I am glad receiving the flashlight

was a. surprise equal to being born.

Harold became “popular” because he

had something to say against the mod

em girl. You had a. chance as a.

scrambler last'week.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Our school is started and we are all

busy. My mother is a. teacher andis

away from home, so my sister, who is

through high school, is keeping house.



Say, Uncle Frank, my brother and

I have an old bicycle of papa’s. We

certainly have fun on it. The folks

won’t very often let us go out in the

road. I was out there this morning,

and I saw a car coming. It bothered

me so that I ran right off from the

road into the ditch and a. telephone

pole. Am I not a. good rider?



We have two old cats and two kit-

tens, a dog and a. rabbit for pets. We

have also two cows, two horses and

five calves. My calf’s name is Jere-

miah. He is awful little and he's as

slow as a. turtle. My uncle told me





his name was killing him.





When you were a little boy, did you

used to have to carry wood and wash

dishes, and did you like it? I have to

do both, and I don’t like it a bit.



Uncle Frank, will you tell me how

to become one of the Merry Circle

cousins? I would like to join—Your

loving friend, Veda E. Wheaton. R. 1,

Harbor Springs, Mich. -



I think that before you ride the

bicycle again you should put bumpers

on it, then you can hit all the tele-

phone poles you want to. -



Sure I had to carry Wood, etc, when

I was a. boy. Take part in the con-

tests if you want to become an M. C.



I agree with your uncle.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I think some of the letters are very

interesting, especially those on the dis-

cussion of bobbed hair and knickers,

although some are very much alike.

We are also getting some very good

Bible discussions.



I like to read very much. “The Girl

of the Limberlost” is my favorite book,

but the series of books of the Camp

Fire Girls are very good, too. -



Thanking you again for my M. 0.

button, your niece, Caroline Engel-

hardt, Auburn, Mich.



The Limberlost stories are good





ones. If the Camp Fire series are as

good as my boys say the Boy Scout

stories are, they must be fine.





 





 





Political C am‘esz‘





E are now right in the midst of



a great political campaign during

which most everybody is thinking pol-

itics, talking politics, and in some cas-

es doing politics.



Many young folks are also interest-

ed in politics, even though they cannot

vote. It is a. good thing that they are

In order to encourage their political

thought I think it appropriate that we

have this as a. political contest. So,

I would like to have you write on

Duties to His Country” should be.



Write about 250 words or less, using

only one side of the paper. Put your

name and address in the upper left

hand corner of the paper and if you

are a. Merry Circler, put M. C. after

your name.

closes then. The usual prizes will be

SUGAR BEET TOPS A LIVE STOCK





 





ROWERS of sugar beets have

learned that the tops of this plant



is relished by live stock. The majority

of growers see to it that these tops

are used for other purposes than fer-

tilizer.

Recently, work has been done to de-

termine the amount of feeding con-

stituents contained in samples of beet

tops. An average of the tests made

from Michigan-grown beet tops shows

an ash content of 22.98 per cent ash,

19.17 per cent' of protein, 46.40 per

cent of nitrogen free extract, and 15.45

per cent of total sugars.

Tops do not make a complete ra-



' tion. They should be fed with other

roughage and concentrates. The feed-

er is also cautioned against feeding too

much dirt with the tops. Often the

amount of dirt clinging to the beets

runs as high as fifty per cent of the

weight of. a sample. The consumption

of a. large amount of dirt. is likely to

cause digestive disorders and has been

known even to destroy animals.

Thorough shaking of the tops before

they are placed in the manger is wise

practice.





HORSES GETTING OLDER.





 





HORSES get older year by year.



That is a. very simple fact, yet,

because they have been cheap for a

few years, we seem to have lost sight

of that fact. It takes about five years

from the time we make up our minds

to raise a horse for that horse to fill

a place in the collar. That means we

must anticipate our horse needs about

five years if we would make sure of

having our needs supplied. That is

too far ahead for many of us to see

clearly.

Too many of us look at live stock

production with the manufacturers’

eye. We produce when the market is

high and curtail production when the

market is low. But we seem to forget

that it takes but a few hours or days

to build a tractor, for instance, while it

Cripple Your Best Customer





(An Open Letter to the Farmers of Michigan)





By far the largest buyer of Michigan farm products is the Michigan Work-

ing Man.





His interests are therefore yours. Your prosperity is bound up in his.





Hard





times for him are always hard times for you. His ability to spend governs

yours to get ahead. ’ ' V





The pr0posed State Income Tax would be a bad thing for you in many ways, but

most of all because it would cripple the spending ability of your best customer.





 





 





2? Vote X





This Tax Hits Your

Church





For the first time in History,

a tax is proposed in Michigan

that hits churches, organized

charity, and fraternal societies.

Even the Federal Government

keeps these cherished institu-

tions sacred from all taxation.



Shall the politicians take from

your church collection from five

to ten cents of every dollar you

contribute? '



Shall Michigan place in her

very constitution a law which

taxes churches, yet exempts ra'rl-

roads and other public utilities,

thus placing in peril her Primary

School Fund that has guaranteed

teachers’salaries since Hazen S.

Pingree brought order out of

taxation chaos---a quarter of a

century ago?





Defeat this Amendment





 





 





 





 





 





 





For, in the last analysis, this new tax must be

paid by people who pay rent, and who buy

clothes and food.





The landlord, the merchant, the doctor, the

manufacturer---each may pay Income Tax,

but each will also pass the tax along in the

form of higher charges. The capitalist moves

away, and takes his securities along with him.

But the Working Man---and the Farmer---

stay and pay, he with lower buying power, yOu

with a weakened market for your products.





So remember that every vote for this Income

Tax Amendment will be, knowingly or not,

a direct attempt to cripple the Michigan work-

ing man Whose earnings support all business

in Michigan, including your own. . ‘





No good can come from such a calamity.





‘Vote NO, and see to it that every vote you can

influence also says NO to this unjust prOposal.





NO on Income Tax’ Amendment





This advertisement is inserted by a group of Workers, Merchants, Farmers, Manufacturers





and public spirited citizens of all vocations, representing every cou ity in Michigan.

GOOD MILKING HELPS.





 





ITH the press of field work and



the scarcity of labor on the dairy

farm, there is danger of some of the

Milking the

cows dry is one of the things that is

likely to suffer. I know from expe-

rience that it is pretty hard after a

long day in the field to come up at five

o’clock and milk ten or twelve cows

dry before supper-time.



I also know from experience that if

the cows are not milked dry the per-

centage of fat in the milk will be low,

due to the fact that the last part of

the milk drawn from the udder is

much richer in fat than the first. A

number of times I have tested milk

from the first of the milking and from

the last, and have observed a varia-

tion of from two to nearly four per

cent in the fat content, the last, por-





tion of the milk drawn containing the.





highest percentage of cream.



Furthermore, cows not milked dry

soon reduce the amount of milk ex-

creted. To keep up the flow and to

encourage the cows to milk their full

time, all the milk must be drawn reg-

ularly. So incomplete milking short-

ens the milking period, reduces the

fat and as a consequence robs the

farmer of profits—C. R.

Farm Poultry





GETTING THE ruaKEYs READY

FOR MARKET. ,





 





 





IT is not enough to raise turkeys,



watch over them, feed them, and

all the other things that go with the"

business, and then at the last minute

send them to market in a poor condi-

tion. I have seen this very thing done.





From my own personal experience, I-





know it does not pay.



The prices paid for turkeys during

the past ten years have been very

good and the market for good plump

turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christ-

mas is ever on the increase, with a

decrease in raising this good old-feeb-

ioned bird. One reason why more tur-

keys are not raised is because of the

limited range for them. Turkeys must

have range, plenty of room in which to

wander and roam about in order to do

their best. They cannot be confined.

Many farm sections that once toler-

ated this bird have long since discard-

ed him because he and his flock hap-

pened to get into Mr. Jones’s corn-

field, or into his apple orchard. Tur-

keys are destructive sometimes, this

we must admit, but after we consider

their worth, I believe it an investment

equaled by no other on the average

farm, just the raising of a flock of

turkeys. ‘



By much care and understanding

the turkey’s habits, I have been able

to keep my flock out of Deacon

Brown’s berry patch, and as a matter

of fact, I have had a flock to sell

every year for many years past with

but one exception. During that time

I found it has paid to learn everything

possible about turkeys. That Experi-

ence has cost me time and money and

loss in other ways, by not knowing

the proper thing to do at the right

time, but I have gradually learned and

one year I raised ninety turkeys that

netted me a. snug little sum for my

time and patience. My husband feeds

them and that’s all. His interest stops

there after he has supplied grain, the

profits are to be mine, as he told me

some years ago and I find his word

still holds good.



It pays to feed the turkeys before

marketing them. I begin at least three

weeks ahead, feeding cracked corn and

wheat. This must be done sparingly

at first, and gradually increasing the

ration until they are on a full fatten-

ing ration. By this I do not mean giv-

ing the flock more grain than they

Will clean up. That is wasteful and it

is also harmful to over-feed, especially

turkeys, for sometimes it has proven

fatal to them.



This feeding problem may not seem

to be so important to some as the

time draws near for marketing. Let

us see how it works out, taking figures

I have preserved of a year ago. One

flock of my neighbors, same breed and

eggs as mine, but not fattened, seven-

teen turkeys in the flock, average

weight was eight and a, half pounds

per turkey, making a total weight for

the flock about 145 pounds.



My flock was fed as I have describ-

ed for just two weeks and I only had

sixteen in my flock. Average weight

was eleven and one-half pounds, or

about 184 pounds strong, with one tur-

key less in the flock. That makes a

difference of forty-two pounds in my

favor for feeding, at say fifty cents

(I received something above that fig-

ure), there is a. difference of $21.00 on

a. very small flock. The feed figured

at not more than $6.00, leaves a profit'

of $15 for the extra feeding. Take an

average flock of fifty turkeys at the

same rate and the profits from the

feeding would be nearly $60. It does

pay to fatten ‘turkeys.

better eating condition. Some custom-

ers are very careful to note this. They

want the best, and as I have found,

are very willing to even pay a premi-

um to 'get turkeys that are in ”good





condition, guaranteed healthy. ending,

WHEAT





Wheat prices have followed a down-

ward trend in the last week but there

are indications that the decline is

about over. Various factors contrib—

uted to the weakness. Export sales

are not as large as a few weeks ago,

especially for nearby shipments; flour

mills are well stocked with wheat and

are not buying freely, while primary

receipts, particularly at spring Wheat

markets, remain enormous. Specula-

tive buying, which has been playing a

large part in market behavior, is not

vigorous and there are signs that some

of the long lines are being liquidated.

In spite of these adverse conditions

under which the market is laboring,

the long range view “indicates still

higher prices. Foreign authorities

have not reduced their estimates of





import needs.

ORN





Corn prices declined sharply last

week, although signs of returning

strength were apparent at the close.

The principal surplus states are cred—

ited with about as much merchantable

corn as in the soft corn crop of 1917.

It is not clear, however, that the

abandoned acreage has been taken in-

to account or that husking returns

will come up to expectations. If Eu-

rope continues to need the same

amount, it will be necessary to come

to the United States, as Southeastern

Europe does not have much to spare.

It is not possible to evaluate the pros-

pects for exporting down very accu-

rately, but they are deservmg of no—





u... OATS





Oats prices followed the trend of

other grains last week and dropped to

a. new low point on, the crop. Primary

receipts have dropped down to .more

nearly normal volume, but supplies m

sight are large and demand is not ‘of

great breadth. Export sales in tne

last week have not been large enough

to attract notice, although clearances

are averaging around 500,000 bushels

weekly. The oats market is not likely

to do much until other grains turn





stronger.

SEEDS





. Clover- seed prices worked into new

‘high ground last week, although the

upturn was not fully held. The total

commercial movement out of produc-

ing districts is expected to be 10 to 15

per cent less than the small volume of





'ARKET





   

 

 

 

 

 





 





last year. Up to October 13, only

about 15 per cent of the red clover

seed and 40 per cent of the alsike crop

had been sold by growers, compared

with 25 per cent and 50 per cent, re-

spectively, last year. The quality of

the red clover seed crop is about the

same as last year, while alsike quality

is better. Timothy seed prices are the

lowest of the season.





, FEEDS





Feed markets show an easy tone.

The output of wheat feeds is heavy

but mills are delivering on contracts

and are not pressing fresh offerings.

Supplies in jobbers’ hands are not

finding prompt sale, however, and

keep the market depressed. Corn feed

markets are heavy with offerings ex-

ceeding demand. AY





Demand for hay has fallen off re-

cently and prices are weak. All but

best grades of timothy are-slow sale.

Dairyme'n and feeders are taking fair

amounts of alfalfa and prices are hold-

ing but no special strength is appar—

ent. .





POULTRY AND EGGS





Strictly fresh eggs are steadily push-

ing into new high ground. Highest

prices of the year were paid for fancy

eggs last week. The supply of this

grade is becoming smaller as the sea-

son advances and still higher prices

are in view. The recent strength has

been confined to the better grades of

eggs, however, as the active distribu-

tion of storage stock is depressing

values of the medium and undergrade

fresh receipts. Poultry markets are

overloaded with receipts of poor qual-

ity chickens. A little extra labbr and

'ITER





The butter market is still troubled

with large supplies, both in face





.4 ;

A





and in prospect. All butter was mark-

ed lower last week. Supplies of strict-

ly fine butter were light and part of’

the loss on the higher scores was re-

gained. Latest production reports in-

dicate an increase of more than 16 per

cent in output over a year ago. With

so much fresh butter being made

throughout the country; storage hold—

ings are not being reduced as, fast as

the heavy stocks would seem to re-

quire. Domestic butter is not finding

as good a sale in foreign markets as

was hoped. This outlet seems to be

shrinking and willprobably disappear

entirely in the next month as colonial

butter comes on the British market.

The steady decline in December stor-

age butter options adds to the unset-

tled undertone in the fresh market.

Prices on 92-score creamery were:

Chicago 370; New York 381/2c. In De-

troit fresh creamery sells for 34@35c.





BEANS





Bean prices are firm at $5.60 per 100

pounds for C. P. whites f. o. b.

Michigan shipping points. Receipts at

elevators have been light in spite of

fine weather, and demand has improv-

ed. The bean trade looks for higher

prices, especially if the weather be-

comes less favorable.





POTATOES





Carlot shipments of potatoes have

increased 50 per centin the past two

or three weeks but they are not quite

as heavy as the size of the crop

‘Would suggest for the peak of the

crop' moving season. Prices have

yielded under the pressure to which

the market has been subjected. After

another- week or two, some shrinkage

in receipts is to be expected but it

may not be as sharp as usual and it

will probably be some time before sup—

plies diminish enough to lift the price

level ,materially. Northern sacked

round whites are quoted at 80@90c,

carlot sales, Chicago.





APPLES





Barrelled apples are moving out of

producing districts at about the same

rate as last year, but a sharp falling

off compared with 1923 is noticeable

in the shipments from boxed apple

states where last year’s crop was 40

per cent larger than this year. The

apple crop moving season is practical-

WOOL



Wool markets are reported quiet but

very firm. The amounts changing

hands are rather small, partly because

supplies are light and partly because

speculative trading among dealers has

subsided. Mills have had difficulty in

finding Australian wools and have

turned down some orders for goods

on that account. The rate of consump-

tion by mills has increased sharply in

the last 60 days but it probably does

not exceed 60 per cent of capacity.

Contracting of the new clip in the

west, on the sheep’s back, is starting

with 42%@43c paid in Wyoming for

some wools with rumors of higher bids

for' choice clips.





DETROIT CITY MARKET





Supplies were liberal and buying

was quite brisk. Apples were taken

freely and prices moved up. Offerings

of grapes were lighter and sold slow-

ly. Tomatoes jumped up again. There

was a fair demand for sweet corn.

Cauliflower, celery, egg plant, squash

and pumpkins had easy sale. Lettuce

was a moderate seller but other greens

were taken slowly. _ The supply of po-

tatoes was heavy and selling only

moderate. Poultry had good retail

sale, while the demand for eggs was

limited.

TH E EGG-LAYING CONTEST.





 





With only seven more days to go,

the interest is not in the competition

between pens, but between hens. The

two individuals contesting for hi h

production are No. 9, in Mr. Eckar ’s

pen, and No. 10 in Mr. Heasley’s pen.

Mr. Heasley’s hen at present has the

high record, which is 285 eggs.



Mr. Eckard’s Leghorn pen has a

comfortable lead in the contest with

2,591 eggs. Mn. Heasley’s pen comes

second with 2,330, and Mr. Eckard’s

other pen with 2,315. .



The high pen among the heavy

breeds are the Rhode Island Reds be-

longing to the Milan Hatchery which

produced 2,110 eggs. The Evergreen

Poultry Farm Wyandottes lead that

breed with 1,832 eggs, and J. V.

Sheap’s Rocks lead .the Barred Rock

division with 1,789 eggs.
