The ministry of agriculture has estab- lished a fruit grading and packing sta- tion at Cottenham, England, to care to: the apples produced in the Cam- hidgeshjre fruit district. A standard charge is made for each box Of apples graded and packed. A similar station is to be established near the Here- mush-he orchards. tFAflflERS-PRIOTIEST CHILD LABOR . ‘.AMENDMENT.’ EPRES‘ENTATIVES of farm or- ganizations in Washington are 1‘9- letters frbm farmers protesting against the so—called child labor amendment, and requesting that they use their influence to defeat the ; proposition.

Hugo Schrieber, .Roscommbn, Mjich- igan, made no device to ensnare the - predatory rodent, but he did have an extraordinary bull. And, even though he dwelt in the woods, the public came, at least enough of it to buy and escort away-this bull; proving that if you have the goods, no matter where you live, somebody will buy it. Here’s the story R. D. Bailey, county agricultural agent of Roscommon county, saw the" Schrieber bull, “Winnwood Maplecrest Ona Frenesta,” and wrote to the dairy department of M. A. C., describing him as an especially desirable individual siring unusually good calves. .Bailey sent a pedigree of “Ona,” which show- ed that bovine gentleman to be a. four- year—old of excellent yearly record backing. His dam, “Winnwood Maple- crest Frenesta,” hadgiv‘en in a year under test 971.61 pounds of butter from 23,834 pounds of milk at four years of age. Her dam in turn had shelled out in ten months 725.81 pounds of butter from 20,040.65 pounds of milk. Then, “Ona’s” sire proved to be out of the greathing. Ona, whose dam made 1,345.5 pounds of butter in a year, and his dam, “Flint Ferndale Canary Aaggie,” upheld the honor of the Holstein breed by the modest yield of 1,128.18 pounds of‘ butter from the nifty sum of 26,5543 pounds of milk. All this information came to the desk of J. G. Hays, joint employe of the Dairy Extension Department of the Michigan Agricultural College and the State Holstein Association. He MICHIGAN cleric)! THE carrsn FARM rules . 'aut Down a Good Bull T fie Story offices a Little Cogperatzaa Made tae Hearts of Two Men G/aa/ y]. G Hays was duly impressed with the breeding. He reckoned that probably the hull was “built all over,” even as County Agent Bailey claimed, He wrote the“ owner; Schrieber, asking for a snap- shot of the bull. ' Did Schrieber put this letter away to be answered some day when the writing tools were dragged out to pen a request to some Chicago mail order house? Did he say, “B’gosh, them col- lege fellers think I got nuthin’ to do but take pictures for them." No, in- deed, Schrieber saw the point, that if he wanted‘to sell his bull he must co- ”operate, so be secured some snaps of “One.” and a picture of “Ona’s” calves to boot and sent them in with a letter telling of “Ona’s” docile disposition; and that the only reason he would ever consider par-ting with him was because he had but a small herd n6w composed largely of the bull's own daughters. And say, the pictures showed “Ona” to be as represented, a “real” bull. So Hays set in motion‘ the machin- ery of the Dairy Extension Depart ment that has to do with placing good bulls—listed Ona on the bull sheet that reaches every one of Michigan’s fifty-nine county agents and each of the eighty—two cow testers doing cow testing association work. Just to add credence to the story of Schrieber’s bull, here is a herd of cows brought up among the stumps that has attained something'of a record. The herd belongs to Harry Williams, of Kent County, and the seven cows last year averaged more than 12, 000 pounds of milk each. [QUALITY RELIABILITY SERVICE mzmnxn TWENTY-01f]: One day, shortly after, Hays leaving for an extension trip ran across H. V. Kittle, agricultural agent of Clinton county, and in a. few well chosen words described this Bull Bargain; Now, County Agent Kittle could have harkened politely, filed the matter away in the crowded recesses of 'a county agent’s mind, and went on to a foot ball game. Yes, he could, but— the very next day a cloud of dust marked the progress of Kittle and two interested Holstein farmers toward Roscommon. Kittle says, “Well, sir, we got there late in the afternoon. Houses began getting fewer and fewer. Finally, we reached Schrieber’s place ——just a log cabin in the clearing. My farmers were sure dubious about find- ing much in the bull line in such a locality. Then Schreiber started to prod a calf up here, drag a heifer out there—all out of the “Ona” bull. Some stuff! And then we saw the bull! We stood there with mouths open and eyes bulged out-wa big strapping fel- low, weighed him afterwards—over 2,500 pounds. Almost perfect build, quality galore and quiet‘as a. lamb. Price 0. K. But the deciding factor was the kind of stuff he sired.” Thus “Ona” found a new home at the farm of Robert Blank, Perrinton. COOperation of county agents, dairy department of the College; little en- terprising gumption on the part of the Roscommon breeder, Hugo Schreiber; all helped move the bull. But, primar- ily, the bull sold himself because of his fine individuality and excellent breeding and ability to transmit dairy Holstein type to his offspring. Even though his former home was against his sale, geographically speaking, his praiseworthy - qualities turned the trick. Thus is evidence produced to ’ support the mousetrap statement. Growing Big In the Milk Business Tée War/a”: Greatest Dairy Cooperation 1: tée Dazryman’ 5 League 0 f New Yoré By President G. W. Slocum F I were to pick out one outstand- 1 ing question that is uppermost in the minds of cooperative marketing promoters,- I would say immediately that it is' whether the organization should be under central control or 10- cal control. . The Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association, as you know, is operated on a highly developed central control system, but around this system has been thrown a great bulwark for mem- bership protection, and not the least of these is the form of organization which I have just touched upon. One of the \big problems that the league has had to meet, and which other or- ganizations I am sure will meet at the I earliest stages of their development, Is the question of how the vision of the. individual member can be broad- ‘ 'ened to grasp the entire problem As a whole, farmers are inclined to meas- " are the value divthe things that are re- “fugue ur in’gen'eral is in a sad has contributed to the capital account. This I can best illustrate by referring to the great expense that has been ex- perienced by this association in laying the foundation for a great commercial business organization by the initial members which, generally speaking, at the start represent only a relatively small percentage of the men in the in— dustry. In our instance it was the pro- motion work, beginning with the old Dairymen’s League, the educational work, the experimental work, publicity and advertising and all expenses inci- dental thereto, legal expenses, building of the personnel of the organization, and many others. These all cost real money—the sacrifices the promoters were forced to meet. They are not tangible things that can be valued in dollars and come, but are the unwrit- ten sacrifices that farmers will have to stand in promoting a mavement such as ours. A review of the year 1923 shows that plight. Especially is this true of dairy products, which have shown a very marked decline. While this adverse condition exists on our side of the ledger, commodities which we buy, 1a- bor, equipment and supplies have con- tinued to climb. Our spread between milk sales and milk costs was never greater, and I believe a farmer organ- ization that can stand this acid test at a’time when it is still laying the foundation with all expenses incident- al thereto, its final success is assured. ,Under these most adverse conditions our markets have been stabilized and every league member hashad an unin- terrupted outlet for his production at assured cash prices. Quality Control. Losses to members from failures of buyers are so small that they are neg- ligible. The league’s credit system is so exacting, that lossesof great size cannot be made. This was not true prior to organization when farmers lest millions each year in the territory where we operate, through failure of milk companies. The league still has its enemies, al- though their number decreases each year. Their propaganda is still bitter. The league files are full of it. But on the other hand, our position with buy- ers is strengthened, as illustrated by the increasing number of the league’s 100 per cent customers. Buyers of‘ milk have come to recognize the soundness of the league’s classified pool plan, the ease with which it meets their requirements and the bet- ter service on quality control and guar- anteed deliveries which it is able to make. The league now markets all milk under its trade name, “Dairylea.” This name will always stand for the purest and most safeguarded milk.’ A great deal of money has been invested in advertising and to back up this invest- ment . the directors have '. thrown around our production and manufw ‘ turing a very complete and «efficient staff of experts. It is probably safe to ' (Continued on page 466)) . ‘— ”firfik..mwcmu ‘N‘D‘AK-z , ' ‘~I ‘ .‘ {Memes-o ;.:..-..;.-.; ' , ‘. i i. w. 0...“...

Member Audit Bureau of cams-um VOLUME CLXIl NUMBER TWENTY ONE , DETROIT, NOV. 22, 1924 CURRENT COMMENT T is a trait of hu- ‘ How The man nature for Other Half each of us to believe . that our lot is harder Lives than that of the av- erage person, and to 'envy the other fellow for the easy time he is having and the easy money he is making. More often than other- wise, When opportunity is given us to see the other side of the picture, we look upon our humble lot with a far greater degree of satisfaction. Perhaps there is no better measure of the other fellow’s situation than the manner in which he spends his in- come for the necessities and luxuries of life. Such a measuring stick has recently been provided by the Cham— ber of Commerce of the United States in an analysis of distribution of such items in fifty—one centers of popula— tion in the United States. This analy— sis is based 0n United States census report figures as to population and surveys of the Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics which embrace the expenditures of many thousands of laboring men’s families. This analysis shows the average per capita expenditures in this great cross section of the “other side” to be as follows for the year 1,923: Food, $97.58; clothing, $48.03; furniture and furnishings, $18.15; fuel and light, $20.91; miscellaneous commodities, $2.94. This accounts for a total of slightlyover $200 for' each person. In 1922 the figure was almost exactly $200. It requires no great amount of fig- uring to see that the actual facts re- garding the average city resident's lot ‘ are quite different from our mental picture of them. These figures show what he gets out of life after settling with the landlord and paying other incidentals, not mentioning non-es- sentlals. Here is a basis for comparison which will reveal much to the average farm family as to how the other half lives, and should make its members more content with their own condition and envirOnment. T is the tendency Public of those who wish 0 8}). to advanCe the gov- wner lp ernment beyond our Obstacles time, to advocate pub- ., lic ownership of many ' bt‘our public utility industries. -' . Public ownership from a Utopian . standpoint is ideal. There is nothing :likc having the necessities of life for ’ sources of, economy in these complex? f days. melon” necdo study: and shit j: ' ity It also new incentive: In public, ‘f‘ ,4 ownership there is no individual moon-:- . . ‘ tive to be individually ancient. m , that reason. public owned prejects are . seldom edlclent. In Europe they have government ownership. It takes twenty-three men to move a ton of freight a mile in Ger- many, twenty-Mr in Italy, and may. one in Switzerland. In the United States it takes only five men. 'It is also interesting to note that, reduced to terms of bread and butter, the rail- road employes in those countries earn only about one4third as much as the railway men here. We can not hope to have public-own- ed project; .run efficiently by individ~ daily-minded men. When We can ar- rive to that state of civilizationwhere the majority of the people can and will ' submerge private interests to the pub- lic onesfithen can we hope for success, in the public ownership of industries which give public service. GREAT issue is pending. It in- Is volves the whole country. Every per« Challanged son of every walk of life will be affected by the Solution of this problem In all probability the contest will run‘over a period of years. On one side will be those who believe in an all-around na- tional program, while the opposition will hold that agriculture should be sacrificed to the advantage of other industries. It is hardly conceivable that, in a. country with such great national agri- cultural resources, and whose prosper- ity in the past has been founded very largely upon the products of the farms, there could be any considerable class who would oppose a reasonable pro- gram for the furtherance of our great agricultural industry. 'Such, hOWever, appears to be the case. This opposi- tion is already laying the groundwork for the Weakenlng of our federal de- partment of agriculture by promoting the transferal’of bureaus from this to other departments of the government. It is going to require the united forces of all our farm organizations and the assistance of our other broad—minded people to‘ maintain the ground already gained for the farming business. This will be necessary unless, as We hope, the real statesmen of industry and of agriculture alike take the broad view of our national welfare and seek to promote a well-balanced program to the financial advantage of all classes and, we believe, to the highest good of the country as a whole. Agriculture HE State Horti- For A cultural Society is going to try a unique Better venture at its apple Pack show next in o n t h which may help to give information along needed lines. This is going to be an open contest in which producers will show their best fruit in the best kind of small packages they can find. The type of package will be the handy kind, pack- ed on the farm with the thought that the consumer can carry them home from the store. , The development of a satisfactory package of this kind will be a great step forward in the merchandising of fruits and vegetables. At present the retailer has torehandle these prod- ucts. Such handling is costly to the retailer in time as well as in losses through injury by rehandling. Further- more, the fruit is just fruit as far as the Consumer is concerned; The~last , purchasers know nothing of the efforts of the grower in putting up a good pack, because no distinguishing mark, :7- advantages for the sale of fruits and . vegetables as the modern cracker . sage , ,wkeep the abnormal stack at package does over the old- crackuj barrel. to the consumer as well as "the various pastimes Which now stand on the gro- cer’s shelves, for the fundamentals oi" appeal are thoéc‘ame. ‘ . ‘ I N a recent address, Wan: President Coolidge . ~ presented an example And :an- which showed the cumpuon favorable street that protective tariff had on the home consumption of farm products. He stated that in a certain industry, with the same equipment and making the same product, the average eight- hour wage Was $0.96 in Italy; $1.18 in Belgium; $1.36 in France; $1.46 in Germany; $2.28 in England, and $5.60 in the United States. The high wages/here brought about by protective tariff increased consump- tion. For instance, each individual here consumes about seventeen pounds of butter, while in Great Britain it is only twelve, and in Italy about three. One hundred and three pounds of sug- ar are consumed here as compared with eighty in Great Britain and forty- eight in Italy. 0f meat we use 183 ‘pounds yearly. per individual, as com—. pared with 120 in Great Britain and forty-six in Italy. We are also great 'milk consumers, using fifty-three gal- lons each, while the British use Only fourteen. and Italy ten. This high ”Wage and high consump- tion may not be entirely due to high tariff, but it is very gratifying from an agricultural standpoint that the Con- sumption is so healthy. From an in- dustrial standpoint it may also be grat- ifying for. the gmt consumption of wholesome foods may be what is giv- ing us Americans the pep. and energy to lead the vanguard of civilization as we have. Industry and agriculture must go hand in hand to keep the lead this country has. In order that agriculture may do its share, it must receive oom- pensatlon one basis’ equal to that of other industries. E read in the The Value newspapers ofa or city man who grew . twenty-five potatoes Blg‘ness weighing 60 pounds. Another item told of a farmer digging almost a peck from one hill. All this sounds big, but is it the kind of bigness that counts? In California one can buy on the street corners oranges as large as grape fruit for twenty-five cents per dozen. These perfectly good oranges are sold so cheaply because they are culls, too large to be classed as a good shipping size. . In Michigan potatoes weighing about two and one-half pounds would, or should, be put in about the same class as those-oranges. Real bigness in potatoes’and oranges, as well as in other things of life, is not in the unus- ual but in the usual—the ordinary things well done, perhaps so'well done that it is unusual. To grow an acre of potatoes which ' will shell out from 300 to 400 bushels 01? nice, smooth, medium-sized potatoes is a greater accomplishment than the growing of the potato part of a meal under one skin. The well-grown medi- um-sized spuds indicate selection of. seed and care of soil. They show:a knowledge of goodpota'to growing and . new is no reason why a . handy fruit package should not appeal .‘ right. growers have learned an I" Mifiaigan potato growers, fruit growr ers and other producers as they learn still wetter how to do the nofmal things, the common things which make - them good producers and packers of agricultural products. 1/ M1}: 0ST of us think that I Miss a, like the lawyers say, a. tennis wealth what is unencumbered- with a. dualism.

Whenever you find the prefix miss you wanta look out, ’cause it means a miss, something wrong, ill, according to my friend Webster. And ain’t Mr. Webster right? Every time a fellow pays attenshun to a Miss, he gets like what Jim Smith says, “that guy’s got bats in his bel- fry." But life is made up of clouds and sunshine, sometimes moonshine, so just like we’d miss cloudy days if we didn’t have’ em, I think we’d miss our Missuses and, Misses. , Speakin’ o’ moonshine, none of it ain’t no good.

According to the secretary of the conservation commission, ‘Michigan ranks only below New York and Penn- sylvaniain the amount of artificial re- forestation that it has carried out, and this year the state expects to outrank all other states in tree-planting on the state lands. 'At the present rate of planting, hoWever, it will require 5,000 years to reforest,the‘ cut-over waste lands in the lake states, according to Dr. Raphael Zon, director of the Lake 3 States’ Forest Experiment Station, and even in Michigan, which outranks her neighbors in this work, it will take 2,000 years.~ most of this Work, if given a chance; and the main chance which she re- quires is to be kept free from forest and brush fires.

The over-head cost is the main“ item and this is very heavy for rural lines. This fact presents a very difficult problem in trying to extend electric power lines into rural communities. The states, says Dr. Mead, ought in every way to encourage and not to hamper the extension of power devel- opments of this kind—L. A. Chase. LARGE COUNTIES HAVE LONG » ROADS. ' ARQUETTE county, with its area of 1,870 square miles, is the larg- est county in Michigan and much larg- er than the state of Rhode Island. To provide highways for such a large area has been a. big undertaking. Since 1905, $2,375,956 has been spent for highway construction, maintenance and repairs in this county as set forth in the nineteenth annual report of the Marquette County Road Commission. During the past nineteen years, $1,- 474,602, was raised for this purpose by 'county taxation, while the .county re- ceived $584,422 from the state for trunk-line construction. During the past year the county raised by taxa- tion for this purpose the sum of $200,- 490, and received from the state $73,- 608. Nine miles of concrete road have been built this season in the county-— the first such censtruction so far here. Michigan potatoes are now selling on a par with thge of other states be- Two Eigendgéds gallowed 1‘3: Q: 101;! under 1 th . destruction it/ will” ' I ll‘ I. ~M' 0 :‘ll' l;/.n/ f‘ .... o . 0 ml 9."

In the emergency the power plant must supply electricity up to capacity. But only two of the » generators are running. Where does the additlonal current come from? The electrician turns on the cur- rent from many storage batteries. These batteries, made mostly of lead, provide the ektra current un-, til other generators are started. Lead storage batteries are an‘ essential part of the nation’s life. They provide power for running farm machinery. They furnish elec- trical energy for ignition systems of tractors; for starting, lighting and ignition systems of automobiles. 1 Lead storage batteries propel street cars' and electric vehicles. They operate drawbridges and railroad signals. They help to fire guns on warships and to propel submarines under the water’ 3 surface. Where lead serves as paint Lead aids man faithfully and well in the storage battery. Many mil- lions of pounds of lead are in stor- age batteries in this country. But lead serves the nation more generally as paint. For protecting metal surfaces against the attacks of rust, red-lead paint has long been the standard. It guards city skyscraper skeletons, bridges, gas tanks. Red—lead should protect your farm machinery and all metal surfaces on your farm equipment against rust. Rust costs millions Every year about $600,000,000 worth of machinery, tools and metal implements ‘is made useless by rust. Farmers bear a great deal of this loss —-—a. loss which paint would help to prevent. The harrow that lies half buried in dead weeds out back of the wagon shed; the hay rake that stands next to the fence near the end of the lane that leads to a marsh; the binder that is not under shelter——- all these become sacrifices to rust unless protected by paint. Where farmers keep their metal equipment protected by red-lead paint, that equipment is safe from rust, from rapid deterioration and eventual Just as red-lead saves metal so white-lead keeps .wood and [non- metallic surfaces from rotting away. White-lead has been a standard protective paint for generations. Today you can see it everywhere in city and country. Like red-lead it sticks tightly to the surface, is impervious to air and moisture and lasts long.

There are still stupendous problems to solve, and make ends meet; but, today there is there hope than there was a year ago, = or even six months ago. . This rising hope comes of a better . vision of farming. A year ago the av- erage farmer of the section was in a dilemma. He thought that he must nary eating potatoes for his cash” arid he knew then as he knows better now, that it is impossible for him to get by economically growing table supplies in the old way. \Vith his hands tied and his back to the wall, he has been thinkinge—he and every agency in any way connected with the business of ' farming in that region, have been quickened to new purposes and new methods. Among the institutions which have contributed to this hope is the Top 0’ Michigan Potato Show. Its second annual session was held the sixth and seventh of this month at Gaylord. The attendance was very good. The en- tries exceeded in number those of last year, and of their uniformly high qual- ity, Prof. J. G. Milward, of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, who judged the exhibits, said: “None of you men can expect to find a better potato show anywhere in the country than you have here.” The good potatoes in these exhibits and the emphasis placed upon quality production by practically every speak- er on the program held in connection with the show, are evidences that the better day is now being sensed by leaders and laymen alike. The lines along which these more sanguine ex- little brighter over the northern, many farmers are finding it difficult to- depend upon the production of ordi-- T up 0’ Mtcfitgan Potato 860710 at [1: But at Putting Noam Agnew; re on a Better Barman floating 'peetations are likely to be realized Were featured in the several address. es.’ Stated briefly, these men' pointed - out the following premising thoughts: In the first place, greater diversifi- cation in the production of cash crops was noted. -He1"etofo.re, potatoes were the sole crop to which a large per cent of' the farmers of the district looked for cash. Now there are being added such crops as alfalfa, clover and sweet clover, all for both hay and seed, and early maturing corn. But, these additions do not com- plete the new program. Growing qual- ity potatoes has its promises. They will enable growers to reach a better trade andnaturally get a higher price. Probably less acreage will be devoted to the production of eating stock, and some of this acreage will be of early varieties, which would give these grow- ers a chance at the good September trade. The greatest factor, however, in this readjustment is the production of certified seed potatoes. The list of farmers producing certi- fied seed gets longer and longer each year. This year over 300,000 bushels were grown in the state, and it is pre- dicted that in three or four years the production will have doubled and even tripled. The premium price of sixty- five cents per bushel over the price of table stock which growers have re- ceived for the certified goods, has been an impelling fact01 in promoting n [this good work Evidence of the soundness of the certified business is being piled up. Each year adds long lists of experi- ments and farm experiences proving the superior producing qualities of this seed over that commonly used. The average for the past few’ years shows an increase of around forty bushels per acre in favor of the better seed. Then, too, the crops from the good stock runs about twenty per cent high- er in quality. These results makethe purchase of such seed a most attract- ive business proposition for the ser- ‘ious minded potato farmer. ‘How extensive the area on Which high class seed stock can be grown is yet a matter of speculation. sixty counties of the state have re- ported tubers acceptable as certified Seed. The fact remains, however, that ’ the farmers of the northern counties of this peninsula‘ have already estab-. lished a reputation with a large buy- ing public, and this situation is bound to react in their favor, especially if they continue to take \advantage of every improvement in the methods of production and keep up their volume. The program also brought out some facts about production. Since the com- mercial farmer grows potatoes to sell, he should have in, mind, even when getting the soil ready, those who will consume the product. Grading starts with soil fertility. These northern men are already aware that alfalfa or sweet clover sod liberally manured and fertilized makes dynamic potato land. 'I'he'sr also find that a more gen- erous amount of the best available seed planted closer together in the rows brings the desirable spuds in larger quantities. Further, the spray rig is seldom idle during the summer on one of these up-to-the-second farm- er’s premises, and he is satisfied only when he gets the pressure on the line above the ZOO-pound mark. Keeping more of the inferior spuds on the farm for stock feed, and grading up the merchantable part, is another tenden- cy cited by these speakers. “This whole Aprogram was fine.

Here these factors were associated in the happiest of fellows-hips. The fact that these classes can cenfide in each other their respective problems is a wholesome part of, the new forward- looking program. Boys and Girls on the Job. But the most promising feature of’ the whole show, judged from the view- point of the new agriculture of north- ern Michigan. was the part taken by the juniors. Previous to the show the various country schools through the counties of Alpena, Antrim, Cheboy- gan, Crawford, Montmorency, Otsego and Roscommon, put on an essay contest on the subject, “How i would grow Dad’s potatoes.” The boys and girls all entered into this com— petition with their customary enthusi- asmx The teachers selected the best essays from their respective schools and submitted these to the county, (Continued on page 467).

SOME LJVE STOCK QUESTIONS. I am going to build a sheep shed thirty feet Wide and 100 feet long. Can I feed and house 300 breeding ewes? I have a lot of wild pasture land. It is the best of pasture land. Would it pay to let my cows run and let them raise their calves, or would I make more by milking them? I keep twelve. brood sows. I want to let them run on wild land and also have good pas- ture for them, have a field of rye and when in the hay will turn in the hogs in it and buy feed to run them through the rest of the year. —G. E. M. A building of this dimension is none too large to accommodate '300 sheep. it really ought to be larger. They can not be ‘confined imthis building but' must have large exercise yards, using the building simply for protection against storms and extreme cold weather. _ - It would be advisable to'separate the 300 into three flecks of 100 each and divide the shed by means- of feed ing racks into three compartments and have three yards, keeping the flocks separate. By having two feeding ‘ racks in each pen and utilizing all the. available space around the infinite you confine this number of breeding ewes‘ in this space for any considerable time. _ / It requires a considerable outlay of capital to operate a dairy proposition and it is a question if you could afford to keep a cow a year for the price of a calf when six months old, which‘is what the proposition narrows down to. ~ >Wpuld it not be a more profitable bus- iness to buy feeders in-the spring, run them on this pasture and sell in the fall? Or you could buy young feeders in the fall, winter them through and run them on the pasture the next sum. mer and then sell. It might be even better to have, as you sugegst, young cows freshen in the spring, let 'the ’caIVBs run with them and sell both coWs and calves when fat, and then commence all over again. Wild pasture land is of little value in growing hogs. Good clover, alfalfa or rape pasture is of great benefit as 3. Supplement to ‘a‘ grain ration in. growing hogs, but you can’t accom- plish much from ‘wiid pasture alone from hogs. They need a. concentrated grain ration with a legume to furnish some extra protein with the com. The brood sows 'will do well on much pas-r ‘ture and little grain, but growing pigs want and must have plenty of grain.

MICHIGAN SENDS MANY EXHIBITS TO GRAIN SHOW. ‘2 EVENTY-FIVE Michigan ’farmers ’ have smade 286 entries in the In- ternational Grain and Hay Show at .Chicago, to be held November 29 to December 6. Eighteen of these men are in the Upper Peninsula and are sending down eight exhibits of oats, eight of field peas, five of barley, three of rye, and two of wheat. Last year Michigan made her first real bid for recognition in the hay classes. A. W. Jewett, Jr., of Mason, won first on timothy and the special .award, it being the best bale of hay in the show. This year there are not A less than five men entered in each hay class, a total of twenty-nine bales be- ing entered in the five hay classes, seven of these being in the alfalfa class. _ The oats class carries the largest number of entries, having twenty— eight, while soft red winter wheat has twenty-five entries, as has the single- ear corn class.

HAT promises to be one of the most unique features’ of the Fruit Show to be held bythe Michigan State Horticultural Society in the Col‘ iseum, Grand Rapids, December2-5, is the Retail Package Contest. A Match of Wits. This year the growers are not only going to brush up against each other, but they are going to have a chance to rub elbows with the consumer. Through a retail package sales com- petition they figure that they are go- ing to have a chance to see their goods from the standpoint of the buy- er. They intend to learn his point of view. This is not because they think the consumer knows more about ap- ples than they do themselves. He may know much less; but after all, he knows something about them. That something is what makes_a first sale and what brings‘in repeat orders. With this end in View apples will be exhibited in all kinds and sizes of packages intended for the retail trade and every device will be used to catch the eye, and theoretically, make a sale. Retailers and Basket Manufacturers Interested. Growers are not the only ones inter- ested. Basket and box manufacturers are arranging to have their packages placed in the hands of some of the best growers so that the superiority of their own products may be estab- lished and advertised. Retailers, too, will watch this contest with more than usual interest for it is sure to give them some valuable tips on increasing sales. Public is the Judge. The public itself will be the judge. Every visitor will have a. chance to} vote on which of the packagesare best for the money and best adapted to the needs of the retail trade. The average opinion of the public votes will be taken as the basis of the liberal cash awards offered by the Grand Rapids Press to the growers winning this con- test.

Will you please inform me whether you recommend dusting for celery? 1’ am about to buy me a $280 machine to apply dust. Would not like to make a mistake. —~JZ It has been our position in the dust- ing matter that dusting of celery is in the experimental stage. There have been good reports from the use of dust and there have beensome reports not so good. In our published articles we have advised spraying, since this has been proved to work well in general prac— tice. I hesitate, therefore, to make the decision for you. There surely have been tests 115' your neighborhood which would give you basis for judgment. No matter whether you buy 8. duster or a spraying outfit. I would like to point out that either. of these ma- cbinesa‘if not mix; all, A. M. —-—Th.o California Push 7%. [lo ’11. Lil- r]. m- g9 get rid m. re, [n- ma )r~ ix- )1“ AA. Aw“. M’ r litmus-me cameras ,. mess HERE is a value to be gained in claim dollars and cents tram trees {along the roadside. The reasons that 1 make the planting of roadside trees _ Worth whileare—satisfaction from the ' beauty and shade, and actual returns in money The first advantage is clearly seen by everyone; the other, .. --\though not so obvious, is there just the same. ' , If a man who has lived on a farm " _' forty years and then wants to soil, has grown some good shade trees during. ‘ that time, he will be glad of his fore- sight. Any buyer will pay more for a ‘ 2‘ farm which has this advantage. This is notonly because he is willing to pay for having the trees, but because the pleasant surroundings make him like the lplace as soon as he sees it. “I should like to own that farm,” someone will say, “because I like those elms in front of the house.” Birds make their home in the trees. Putting aside the delight which the presence of these songsters causes, the fact remains that they destroy many insect pests. The amount of money which they save for us in this way would be hard to estimate, but it is surely considerable. The birds use insects'for their food. Then there is the tourist idea. Trav- elers for pleasure are beauty seekers, and they want to drive through a coun- try" made attractive by handsome trees. Someone may ask, “What good do tourists do the farmer??? Well, sup- pose he wanted to have a booth in front of his house to sell his products. This is a very good plan of marketing which is rapidly coming into vogue in this state. The tourist and his auto- mobile are what make such producer- to- consumer marketing possible. One Michigan farmer has a. fine‘row of walnut trees along each side of the rOad~in front of his farm. And if he wished to, surely .the farmer would have little trouble selling most of his products from a booth in front of the house. In -this case there is also the value of the walnuts to be considered, which always bring a good price in the fall. Some of the trees commonly used for roadside plantings are elms, hard maples, basswood, black walnut, ash, and red oak. Hackberry makes a very good tree ’when a small, quick-growing species is desired. Extended information on varieties of trees, and how to grow them, may be obtained by addressing the Forestry Department of the Michigan Agricul— tural College—H. L. Thomas. FALL PLOWING. T Forest Grove Farm we endeavor to do some fall plowing. This fall, however, has been exceptional in a good many ways, and one is that we have not done any fall plowing. yet. Last week we went out with the teams to see if wecould not plow some corn stubble preparatory for oats in the spring, but we had to give it up, it. being too dry. We have not had enough rain in this section ' of the country to lay the dust for over six weeks. . I like to do quite a considerable fall plowing after the rush of fall work is over as it helps out in getting crops in the following spring. Last fall I ‘ " did not get as much fall plowing done as usual. the wet spring held work back. consequently I did not sow quite as large an acreage of cats and barley ' ' '11 km! level land'I believed-t a commendable practice that enables one to keep their farm work up. I still hope it will rain before it is too late for fall plowing, as I would, at least, like to plow twen- ty acres for oats. . I think plowmg can be done a. great deal cheaper in the fail than in the ‘ spring. Then, too, the weather is much cooler for the teams. I use the tractor to do part of my plowing, but as the teams must be fed I work them as much as possible. ——L. C. Reynolds. POKE THE RECKLESS SMOKER. HILE the careless smoker has always been a menace to our timbered lands, being responsible no doubt for the destruction of millions of feet of lumber that might have been utilized in the construction of farm buildings and farm equipment, the reckless smoker has this year became - a menace to our cleared lands as well. During the present fall Genesee coun- ty has received very little rainfall, not only is wheat sufiering badly, but the dead leaves and grass in the fields have become so dry as to be ready to ignite and to burst into flame with the least possible encouragement, On a number of occasions throughout this section fires have become started from burning cigar and cigarette stubs care- lessly thrown aside by hunters, and serious destruction of property has been prevented only by thorOugh co- operation and earnest, practical effort on the part of the people living in the community—Greeley Everitt. GOOD CROP OF RED KIDNEYS. RNEST BROWN, of Garfield town- ship, has just threshed 163 bush— els of red kidney beans from a ten- acre field. This yield is exceptionally good for this season. The field is rather light sand, but good care during the growing season forced them along, and they matured without blight or frost damage—H. L. S. WE ARE ALL VERY WASTEFUL OF WOOD. RECENTLY Carlile P. Winslow, di- rector of the United States Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, spoke on the “Utilization of Forest Waste and De- velopment of the Lake States.”- Point- ing out that twothirds of all timber cut is wasted and only onethird is used, Mr. Winslow set forth the need of reducing this wastage, and this it is the object of the Forest Products Laboratory to promote. A forestry- program must, therefore, include not Only reforestation but the more economical use of the forests we have. For one thing, various kinds of wood-using industries should be lo- cated at one point,.so as to consume not only saw—timber but also edgings, slabs, and other portions of the tree. Instead of several sawmills in one community, there should be a box-fac- tory, a. pulp-mill, a wall-board-mill and ‘ a wooddisfillation plant. Such a community exists at Cloquet, Minnesota. There is a problem, as yet not solved, in the making of pa- per-pulp from hardwoods. Another problem, is the full utilization of saw- mill~waste. Mill and wood—waste can' be utilized if the proper plants are available. The reduction of forest and wood.waste will‘be considered at a national conference to be held under the auspices of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, November 19- 20 at Washington. —-'—L.

OOPERATION is an essential com— ' munity institution, and when prop- erly exercised friendly competition be- comes an impetus to greater accomp- lishments. Both of these factors were in strong evidence at the school fair conducted by the Hartland Agricultur- al School, November 6-7. The folks over in the eastern por- tion of Livingston county are proud of their agricultural school and are putting forth a. real effort to make it a success, The fair which is estab— lished as an annual event is developed entirely as a community enterprise. No cash prizes are offered, yet there is keen competition in all classes of exhibits; ' The fine showing of chickens was judged by E. C. Foreman, of M. A. C., and he found some real Contest layers in the wire cages. The apple exhibit judged by H. D. Hootman, Horticul- tural Specialist of M. A. (3., would do credit to any professional fruit grow- er. Mr. Hootman made arrangements to have this fine exhibit taken to the 'Apple Show at Grand Rapids on De- cember 1-6. The boys of the manual training class had used their time to a prac- tical turn and exhibited sleeve ironing boards, spindle wall towel racks, kitch- en cutlery boxes, and book racks, milk stOols, wagon jacks, all made for home use. The advanced class had made a console table and mirror frame. The girls of the hOme economic de- partment, not to be beaten by the bOys in helping with the home problems, showed that sewing, cooking, canning, house decoration, will be well fixed in the feminine minds of the future gen- eration of that community. W. D. White, superintendent of” this, splendid rural agricultural school, ar- ranged a. program to obver all com- munity interests. On Thursday after- noon, H. D. Hootman eXplained the apple situation as to marketing, prun- ing, spraying, and varieties to raise to supply the popular demand. 0. E. Foreman, poultry specialist at M. A. 0., gave an interesting talk re- garding the individual laying ability of the farm hen. He said they could be classified as flappers, fldgety, ag- gressive, lack of ambition, and me.- chanical, and laid stress on the type of head and nervous dispOSitiOn as a. basis of greater egg productmnfi On Friday a community get-together and iroundstable discussion was planned.

In adopting all/steel bodies for both closed and Open models, Overland has risen to even greater strength in public favor. After all, everybody knows that steel is far superior to wood; that steel will not warp or crack; that steel- outlives wood many times over. Steel is 30 times stronger than wood! Most motor car bodies are skeletons of wood with thin sheets of steel nailed outside. The modern all/steel body is a frame of steel covered with steel—— all steel—welded into one/piece solidity and strength. Only coachwork built entirely of steel can be finished in hard/baked enamel—a finish that defies mud, dust, miles and the flight of time. Everybody appreciates the great added safety of all/steel coachwork—and the lasting beauty of it. Overland’s big power, its reliability, its fine comfort and great economy have always appealed to owners, because they know Overland is a “round trip” car a car that gets you there and brings you back!

I have often thought I would write to you of our expe- rience using Valspar Varnish, and on opening the Amer— ican Magazine I saw your page and decided that now was the time. Some years ago, in the fall, I Valsparred different pieces of furniture. After giving them several coats of varnish, I had almost a pint left. My husband had just finished his fall plowing and had driven into the yard. He started to grease his plow with the axle grease, like all farmers do, saying as he did so, “What’s the use? The pigs just lick it off. Now if we had a machinery shed, my cultivator, shovels, lister and plow would be bright and shiny next spring.” I said, “Let me put some of this on.” I Valsparred culti— vator, shovels, plow and riding lister. Had about one—half cup left, and for good luck started on one side of our new planter. After painting one seed box and side, the Valspar gave out. The next spring the implements stood out bright and shining. Also the planter has been out for four years in the sun, rain, and snow.

"r‘ 7' were when like the rest of us, we could say that in the Transfiguration. Seer But He was , 25’s, we see film at fill? always at His best. though in- seine ‘ 'T‘cxperiences his character cama out mere clearly than in others. In the great experiences of .life, men’s characters come. out, more viv- idly thanin the ordinary experiences. In 1830 Daniel Webster delivered his great speech in reply to Hayne. Hayne was senator from South Carolina, and had spoken in an impassioned way (about the rightlof a state to secede ' from the Union, if it chose. That was more than I the New England con— science of‘ Webster could endure. He spoke for three hours, tearing‘the ar- , guments of Hayne to tatters, and end- ' ing with the 1m- . mortal word‘s, “Liberty and Un- ion, now and for: ever, one and in- separable.” It is said that members from the south, to.show their contempt for Webster, sat and read newspapers, as he spoke. But one man’s paper was seen to be upside down, although he did not know it. Webster never got above the heights of that day. But Christ rose even higher than the Transfiguration, when He went to the cross. If you seek‘the climax of Christ’s life, it is not in some spec- tacular miracle, like the feeding of the five thousand. It is the Cross, Gol- gotha, Calvary. It is the three'lonely figures, silhouetted against the even- ing sky, with weeping' women stand- ing at a distance._ UT the Transfiguration was 8. mar- velous experience. Only three earthly souls were permitted to wit- ness it. There were but three men who were fitted by their sympathy and understanding to go with Him up the ,mountainside that day. It was the Lame three who went with Him into the room where the daughter of Jairus lay dead, the same three who went with Him as He prayed in the Garden -—Peter, and the two brothers, James and John. It is great to be trusted by Christ, and anyone may have the hon- or, if he Will. But he must be certain that he will not be betrayed. The late Lord Knollys was the private secre— tary and Confidential adviser of King Edward VII. 4 The papers tried to get Knollys to Write a book, or a series of alticles on the personal and private “ of the king. He refused. When .e king died, a publisher sent his sec- rmary a signed blank check, to get hi ~. write a book on the king. He mig‘l. -flll out the check for any amount. Ho tore it up. It is not sur- prising that the king felt safe with his secrets, state or personal, in the hands of such a man.- Christ took the three He could trust. This beautiful event, probably took place on Mount‘Hermon. Other moun- tains have been suggested, but this is the most likely place. It is the high- est peak in Palestine, something over nine thocsand feet high. There are aspe lts .. the mountains which lead us tr :.best This summer I climbed Mt. a : ~ ngton and Mt.

I S 0 that Christ was following a com- mon impulse when He went up‘into a high mOuntain'to be alone in prayer. It was while'I—Ie was praying that this beautiful and unique experience came to‘ Him. His apparel became glisten- ing white, and a heavenly light over- shadowed Him. A' paragraph or two back. we said that there Were but three earthly souls who witnessed this event. But there were two heavenly ones besides. Does it not make you thrill as you think that one who had been ‘in eternity‘for fifteen hundred years was alive and eagerly concerned with the life of ourWd? Moses was, I fancy, more alive that day than even he had been in the strenuous, feverish days of the Exodus, when a couple of million people waited on his word. Immortality is probably not thequies- cent state that some people think it is, an endless resting place. Resting gets very tiresome after a while. You want something to do. Evidently there is activity in the next world. Moses and Elijah were not thinking of them- selves, but were thinking of the life and death of the Messiah. “They. spake of his decease, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem,” says Luke. On that event their eyes were focuss— ed. In the other world, then, we are to be unselfish, altruistic, thinking of others. Do you not imagine that these two giants of old ofiered to go to the Cress in Christ’s place? Both had made serious mistakes, and both had come shortof perfection by a long way, and the:r knew it. Moses was im- patient Elijah was fiery. But no, they ' could not go ”could go through the experiences of, the Cross,‘and thus be a'Savior to “ There was but- One who mankind. He mnsu tread the winepress alane.. There are Some things we cans not _pass~on”to others. ; If we——you,'l .—do not hear our particular cross, no -one~else will. Simian Peter figured largely in this, as he usually did. He suggested that three tabernacles be built, one for Christ, and'one each for the two celes- tial visitors. ish remark,‘ an almost crazy sugges- tion. But Peter had the same faculty which so many others of us have. He could talk without thinking. He prob— ably saw what an ill-timed and point: less remark he had made, when, as the cloud overshadowed them, the voice was heard speaking; How much do people think about re- ligion? Not in giving it a passing thought, or in discussion of this church or that, but in constructive thinking about the nature and power. of Christianity; how it can be applied - to making a more Christian society and happier individuals. Some said, at the close of the war that millions seemed willing to die for their coun- try, but few to think of it. HE voice was the same voice that had spoken at Christ’s baptism, and it repeated the same words. The coming of voices from the unseen may appear fantastic or imaginary. But to him who has the gift of hearing, such voices are real. Joan of Arc heard them, and earnest believer who seeks the daily will of God may hear them. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR NOVEMBER2 23. SUBJECT :a—The Luke 9. 28 to 36. GOLDEN TEXT. ——This is my Son, my chosen; heal ye Him. Luke 9.35. Transfiguration , Preparing Baits at Home By Frederick R. T eppm ANY trappers, especially ama- teurs, could increase their sea- son’s catch greatly by the use of proper baits in the proper places. The right~kipd of bait and scent used in the right places are very helpful in attracting animals from their regu- lar trails to your traps. Here bait will be considered as it really is—meat, vegetable, or other substance, and scent as it is—wa liquid odor. These should not be confused with what fur houses commonly sell as bait, which is really scent in liquid or paste form. In general use, bait is best during the fall and winter and scent is most effective in the spring. Scent used during the fall and winter should have the odor of food, while in the spring different odors may be more attractive. Bait is not always a food, though it usually is. Hewever, an ob- ject which attracts may properly be termed a bait, and a piece of paper in bright contrast to the surroundings often attracts a muskrat. Bright gold or tin foil is frequently attractive to raccoon, and if cut to imitate a fish and attached to the pan of the trap set in shallow water, is likely to prove attractive to mink, muskrat and ’coon. In general, baits should be fresh meat, as bloody as posSible for flesh-eating animals. A generous bait is likely «to be better than a small one. The skinned car- cass or part of a carcass, is frequently as ‘good as withthe skin on. Baits should be placed in a natural manner so as not to arouse suspicion. If bait consists of a -whole animal, such as a rabbit for coyote bait, make it appear as it alive and in hiding. If part of a bait, it should look as though hidden there by some other animal. ' The secret is that it must not appear , to be bait. Scent must often be used bait to advantage Following is , ids. ,a list of baits best suited to the dif-3 ferent animals: Muskrat. ——Vegeables, fruits and wa- ter roots and grasses. Carrots, corn, apples, parsnip, cabbage, beets, clover or alfalfa are all good. Mink—Fish, muskrat, rabbits, mice, small birds, chicken, crawfish and sim- ilar food. Fen—Wild birds’ eggs, wild fowl and small birds, mice, rats, and rabbit, poultry, etc. Opossum.—-—Native fruits, small birds I and animals, meats, such as are favor- ed by skunk and similar animals. Racoon.—Mellow fruits and some vegetables, Corn in season, fish and' other articles of diet which mink like.’ Skunk-Chicken, l'abbit, eggs, birds and small pests, such as grasshoppers and almost any kind of meat. Weasel.—-—Fresh meat, the bloodier' the better. Poultry, gophers and similar. The following formula is good for making fish oil, which is a good scent for nearly all animals, especially mink, fox and weasel. Catch several small fish. mouthed bottle or jar about two—thirds full. Place cork in very lightly and set in a warm place in the sun: Let rot and ferment for several weeks un- til the oil is ready to drain off and use. The odor will be strong. A small amount of oil of anise may be added if desired. A good scent similar to the above rabbits, mice, may be made by using almost any kind, of meat cut in small pieces in place of fish.

HOUSEWIVES"HAVE “HAND AND FOOT” DISEASE. AND and ’foot” disease is one of the commonest ailments of the housewife and is responsible for most of the drudgery in housekeeping, says Miss Anne Pierce, in Hygeia. What woman needs to use about the home is the “head and tool” method, she declares, and she will be a better housekeeper than her grandmother, have time to cast a thoughtful ballot; swing a healthy golf club, read about what the world is doing, and keep up with her children and husband, in— stead of being left to vegetate among the pots and pans. “Proper machinery . for preparing food and for making the house sani— tary is as essential to the woman as are tools to the craftsman at ‘ his bench,” Miss Pierce asserts. “Surely it is not too much to make a place in the household budget for the tools of the home workshop, for there the things like children’s health and happiness for a lifetime are made, the breadwin— ner’s digestion, strength and nerves salvages, and‘ real hospitality manu- i‘actured.” FARMERS”WIVES LEARN SHORT CUTS IN ART OF SEWING. PECIAL sewing projects are being undertaken in seven countries this fall in cooperation with the agricul— tural agents, and according to reports, the farmers’ wives are putting the _‘work over big in each county. Sewing classes are being held in Kent, Kalamazoo, Washtenaw, Wex- ford,- Jackson, Branch and ‘St. Joseph counties, and the enthusiasm with which the wOmen are rallying to this work is surprising the most optimistic advocates of home extension projects. At Kent City in Kent county there are thirty-six women and twenty-four high school girls taking the work. \This is just a typical example of how the work is going over in Kent county. In fact, it is getting so County Agent K. K. Vining’ 5 office is receiflng’ about .as many calls from farm women who want to get in one of the classes, as . “sewing theiM-y Cut ‘ used. HMiss”?

To make scrapple, use the same kind of meat you would to make head cheese, and proceed in the same way, as with head cheese until the liquid is poured over the finely'chOpped meat. Then season and stir cornmeal into the boiling meat until the mixtuie is three-fourths mush with one-fourth meat. Add the ,meal slowly and stir constantly to avoid lumps. Boil thic oughly, and pour into shallow pans to cool. Slice and serve cold, or fry in hot fat. ‘ It is not advisable to can roast pork' or beef without the hot water bath method, unless you have a steam pres- sure cooker .The three-hour method is quite long, but it is the only safe way to can meat. You can roast it down, and pack in crocksvand cover with hot lard and Weigh down with a. weight, but this will not. keep as long as when canned. Kiddies’ Thanksgiving Table , HEN there is to be a family re- union or family party on . Thanksgiving Day,, and there are to be a good many children among the number, it is advisable to plan for a separate table for them. This not only saves much confusion, but what is of still more importance, keeps them fiom eating rich foods that will not be good for- them. A pretty decoration for a children’s Thanksgiving table is made by cover- ing a table with plain white otlcloth “just cut to fit the top of the table. All. around the edge of the table fasten a frill of crepe paper with a border of turkeys. especially suitable for a circular table best. Turkeys cut out of crepe Paper This kind of decoration is' ity for bonbons or nuts can be used for a centerpiece, or a little yard can be built with birch twigs or paste- board painted to represent boards. In- side of this yard place a number of little papier macho turkeys which can ' be procured at a littlecost.

Doings In L TTLEWFD K5 k Woodland . ' Frankie Fox Get: in a Hurry VERY, time Frankie Fox passed the old Tamarack tree, down by Frog Pond Hollow, he stopped to get some gum. Yes, Frankie liked to chew gum just as well as little boys and~girls do. Only he liked a. different kind of gum, and this gum he found on this old tamarack. The gum was merely the sap of the tree that oozed out of the knot holes. After the sun had shone on it for sev— eral days and dried it, it made gum that many of the Woodland folks came to get. Frankie Fox could remember many times that he had had to stand in the corner at school when the teacher found him chewing tamarack gum. On this day 'as Frankie Fox passed the old tamarack tree, he stopped for some gum as usual. But he was in a hurry. In his eagerneSS to get the gum, he did not notice the little pud- dle of fresh sap or pitch that lay on the ground at the foot of the tree. The sun had not yet dried it, and it was very sticlqr.

' ouR LETTER BOX Dear Uncle Frank: I received the fountain pen and I wish to thankyou for it. It must be that the waste basket was full and you could not get my essay in, so had to give it a prize. I was at the Detroit Fair this year. I heard you were there but did not see you. I was in the cattle judging (dairy) but did not place very high, as this is only my first few months in it. Well, hoping to get a new topic for Merry Circlers’ page, and wishing good wishes to you and W. B., I remain, Roscoe Bloss, Dunningville, Mich. No, your paper deserved the prize, so you got- it. Too bad we missed each other at the fair. Dear Uncle Frank: I thought it about time to write. I was at the Detroit Fair, stayed on the grounds all through it, and wore my pin every day until I lost it. But I did not see you. ‘ O'ur county won a lot of prizes there. Our sewing club took eighth place. Also the most perfect boy and girl IS from our county. ‘ ' Harold Coles, if you want to say anything to me now just “Holler.” For I wore knickers up to Detroit and I’ve got bobbed hair. I had a policeman “friend” there, too. Can you beat that? Ha! Ha! Well, I must close my chatter-box, hoping to see this in print, and please excuse me for losing my pin—Your niece, Bernice Wise, M. C., R. 1, Allen, Michigan. I’m sorry we did not meet at the fair. I was there several times. Po- licemen are for protection, but they are usually good fellows, too. ‘ Most people think and talk more H9110: Everybody! about their own rights than about the rights of others or their own duties. It would not be fair to leave our dis- cussion of citizenship without suggest- ing the fact that rights and opportuni- ties bring obligations along with them. Sometimes people do not get all their rights. Sometimes, though rarely, an innocent man is sent to prison. But far more common are those who sneak out of the performance of their just duties and who treat the oppor- tunities of a free country as so many . more chances for selfish advancement.

Mary Ethel Connor says that she can work in the fields all right with . skirts on. We could, too, if we didn’t work any more than to get three blis- ters on one hand, and a little sun- burned. The reason people look at girls with knickers is because knick- ers are modern and most people are interested in modern things. We are, anyway.

Dear Uncle Frank: I am another boy who likes to tease the girls, but I, think teasing can go too far sometimes. I go to school every day. I like it fine. I have two little brothers that go to, school, too. We have lots of fun at school. I have a little sister two years old. She is always so glad when we boys get home from school to play with her.

I think all the letters were good. The one Gerald Richards wrote was about the best, I think. When I started to read his let- ter, I thought it was written by a girl, until I looked at the bottom of the ' letter and saw his name. It was a ’ very'good letter, and I agree with him; Myrtle Walker’s choice of authors . are very good. I wonder if she has “The Covered Wagon,” written by Em— erson Hough.

The argument Over bobbed hair is perfectly ridiculous unless the parties participating in it have some purpose in view. ' Hair net and hairpin companies are voicing a loud protest against bobbed hair. If a good reason could be given for bobbed hair not being favorable, these companies may. profit by it. However, if a girl or woman wants her hair bobbed she will have it bobbed. Are there any good common sense pe - ”they were not pessimism why do they 'tice, come from bOys. .worry over their troubles, so let’s drop Worry so over mi-lady’ s bobbed hair? Most of the arguments, as yOu 110- Bob says, “If God wanted women to appear as men He- would have made provisions. ‘ “All right, Bob, God also gave your , hair the power to grow. If He had wanted it to stay short I am sure He would not have bothered to see that it had to power to grow.’ ' There is nothing to be gained by this constant harping on the bobbed hair question, even though it is a friendly quarrel, so I say, let’s com- promise. ‘If you want short hair have it, and let me suit myself. * The only ones to profit by the dis- cussion are companies who are suffer- ing heavy losses through bobbed hair coming in style. It is for them to it and find something more pleasant and profitable to talk about. ’PAI NLESS DENTISTRY. HE'man who advertises himself as a “painless dentist” is very properly an object of suspicion. For purposes of advertising he is play- ing upon the desire of all human na- ture to escape pain, and we know that there is more truth than joke in the allegation that his reply to a com- plaint will be, “I felt no pain.” But a really painless dentist? Yes, there is such a person. Some dentists have a lighter touch and more delicate con- sideration for human suffering than others—and that. helps. But some go a step farther and add special equip- ment to subdue pain. They will treat the nerve pulp with great particularity before doing any severe work. They will inject the gum with a local anes- thetic before pulling a tooth. They will “block” the nerve so that it is temporarily out of commission. By , means of a special syringe they will inject an anesthetic through the den- tine into the tooth. itself to take away the grind of the filling. These things are not for use in treat- ing the ordinary tooth of the every- day patient. They take extra time and special attention and equipment, and naturally they call for a much higher rate of payment. But they are avail— able for the special patient, and every city of any size has at least one den- tist who gives such matters particular attention. But please remember that if you are going to the dentiSt’s chair with the positive conviction that you are bound to be hurt, and sit there with hands gripping the arms of the chair, and absolute assurance that in one second that drill,will certainly break through and pierce into your very brain—no measure but self-con- trol will do much for you.

This is a very common symptom of indigestion and may be produced by any one of a number of different forms of indigestion. My suggestion is that you eat less, masticate much more ”/ Qui__c_____k-lite thoroughly, limit the amount of, starchy foOd, and make the diet ratheri‘ laxative. To do this you must include a good supply of fruit and the leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, cabbage, chard and cauliflower.

Lawrence, Mich. Starts Hens Laying Here' 9 a New Way to Get Eggs in Winter. Costs Nothing to Try. A letter from Miss Dama Wright, Veronica, Ore.,has a real Idea 'for Cthk- en raisers who are not getting plenty of eggs. She says: “Late in October, our fifteen hens Were not laying at all. I started giving them Don Sung and for" ten days they still didn’t lay. But on the eleventh day, they laid thirteen eggs, and it is wonderful what Don Sung has done for our egg basket.” Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tablets which Miss Wright used, are opening the eyes of chicken raisers all over America. The tablets ‘ can be obtained from the Barren-Dagger Co., 871' Allen Street, Indianapolis, Ind. Poultry rais- era whose hens are not laying well, should send 50 cents for a trial package (or $1 for the extra large size, holding three times as much). Don Sung is positively guaranteed to do the Work or money promptly refunded, so it costs nothing to try. Right now is the time to start giving Don Sung to your hens. so you will have a good sup- ‘ply of fresh case all winter. « HOUSINGVTURKEst HEN turkeys are compelled to roost with chickens it often re- sults in a. devitallzed turkey flock. Turf keys require more air then chickens,‘ and they are also subject to many of the diseases of chickens. It does not pay to riSk infecting valuable turkeys by having them eat with the hens. and drink from thesame pails. A shed entirely open on the south. and closed tightly on the other three sides, makes a. good turkey roost. The front can be covered with inch mesh wire to keep 'out sparrows and other pests. A clean loose straw litter in front of the roosts will make a. good place to scatter the scratch grain on Austain Leonard's Chickens Win 35 Premiums at a Recent Fair. stormy winter days. The turkeys will soon learn to expect feed at their roosting place and will return at night where they can be locked up and pro- tected from thieves. Dropping boards can be, placed un- der the roosts, or boards laid on edge to keep the droppings out of the litter. Then the turkey roosting place can be cleaned often and the roosts and space beneath the roasts sprayed with a coal tar disinfectant. When the turkeys can be watched each day it is possible to locate any colds that appear and give treatment before the condition becomes serious or spreads to other members of the flock. If turkeys cannot have a. well- ventilated open shed separate from the chickens, I think it is best to fur- nish turkey roosting poles entirely in the open, but in the shelter of other farm buildings if possible. Turkeys can stand lots of cold but dislike strong winds. FLOAT, FED FOUNTAINS. LOAT fed fountains accomplish with water what the mechanical feeders do with grain, reducing labor to a minimum yet furnishing the acme of convenience for the poultry. So far as the writer is aware, there are no float fed poultry fountains on the mar- ket——few poultry keepers, indeed, use them as yet—but an ingenious man or his plumber can devise a. system. The float principle may be observed in any bathroom, in the water compartment of the toilet. When the water level gets to a certain point, the float, fall- ing, opens the intake, shutting it when the receptacle is full. _ The same principle has been utilized successfully on a large Plymouth Rock farm which carries 1,500 through the winter, and raises a lot of young stock on orchard range. ,The water system supplies both houses and range, float fedfountains being mount-_ ed at suitable points. -In winter the range pipelines are disconnected, and an auxiliary hot water system, paran leling the cold water pipe, is used with- the latter in the laying-house. The water is heated in a. small boiler. Thus the temperature in 'the fountains is always kept lukewarm, a. desirable. thing in cold weather. ‘ The system described is, of course, rather elaborate for the small flock, A .' \. layers , ', practical arrangement for such, where, ‘ be running water is not to be had, .is a large“hogshead kept filled with water at the high endmt the holise, and a} connected pipe running through the 3‘ - . house and supplying float. regulated , fountains. It is easier to fill 3 bags- head once in several days than several pen pans daily or oftener, and an ade- quate supply of water is assured in the hot months when poultry consume: such quantifies. - Keeping the hogshead filled is not diflicult if done right. A convenient way is to use a wheelbarrow or cart and. a half-hogshead, or tubs. Have several pieces of burlap to throw on top of the water, and there will be little or no slapping—J. T. B. BRAH MAS NOT, LAYING. I would like to know what can be the reason that my chickens don’ t lay eggs. I have about thirty hens and they all look so healthy and well, but only two out of the whole flock have laid. The others have not laid for three months. They are Brahmas. I feed them oats and barley, and scraps from the table. ———Mrs. W. L. Hens of a. heavy breed like the Brah- mas often need a lot of culling if much is expected of them in the way of fall egg production. ,Most of them- are probably hens that are going through the moult and taking their annual rest. If they are birds of good type I should \tonic. —C.

T is anticipated that Brlmley, Chip- pewa county, will be the center for the trainees of the United States Bu- reau of Vocational Rehabilitation of World War’Veterans who are engaged in beekeeping. A recent report on the status of these soldier-bee-men from the Marquette office of the Upper Pe- ninsula director of this work indicates that the past season has been very successful for the four men who have undertaken this work at Brimley. Each- trainee began the season with from two to four colonies of bees, but one of the veterans will own at least seventy-five colonies next year, it is stated. The remaining men will pos- sess from ten to twenty-five colonies next season. Provision has been made for wintering the bees and next sea.- son it is expected that the men will have honey to sell. GREATER AGRICULTURE IN HOUGHTON COUNTY. OUNTY Agricultural Agent L. M. Geismar,‘ of Houghton county, has prepared figures showing the value of farm crops in that county and'the im- portance of agriculture in that section. He computes that the value of farm crops in Houghton county, this year, is $3,098,000 as compared with $1,310,- 500 in 1912. There are now approxi- mately 2,000 farms here. This ranks Houghton county second in number of farms among the“ counties of the pe- ninsula: The significance of this ap- pears when it is recalled that Hough- ton county-is famous for its copper mines, to which most of the produc- tive energies of its inhabitantshave been, given. In.1912 the value of dairy products in Houghton county was $368,000, and it was $1, 081, 000 in 1924. This puts it behind only Menominee county in the peninsula. in the value of its dairy ’ products. , In 1912 itsflrenk. wattmi’itth in dairying among the Upper Penin- sula counties. PAYS SHERIFF ‘8ALARY. THAT HoughtOn county has place! its sheriff on a salary basis is a matter of general interest. It indicates a trend which other counties may be expected to follow. It was done on the principle that sheriffs were receiv— ing under the fee system too large an income considering what they could probably earn in other pursuits. The Houghton county sheriff will receive a. straight salary of $5,000 per year, with an allowance of $1,000 for the pur- chase of an automobile, and five cent: per mile for traveling expense wha on official business. He will be allowL ed $300 per month for boarding pris- oners at the jail. The county pays the: salaries of all deputies and other em- ployes and takes the fees. The MalL quette Mining Journal, in comm'entixx on the action of Houghton county. thinks it advisable that all county oli- cials be placed strictly on a salary basis to reduce county expenses.

T “Forest Grove Farm” we are planning this fall on putting our lambs into the "barn and feeding them until they are finished mutton. I have practiced ‘both methods of selling of! pasture and of holding for a time and selling during the holiday season. Both methods have their advantages. How- ever, when conditions are favorable, I believe it more profitable to hold the lamb crop for sixty days and finishvit on dry feed. I have .one of the best lamb crops I have ever 'raised. I was very success- ful during the lambing period, losing only two lambs. Had I been at home and right on my ,job as a good shep- ‘ herd should be, I would "have saved every lamb. 'But, like a great many other people, I find myself elected to look after some public work, and co- casionally it conflicts with my occu- paItion. Ithink it is very profitable when the farm produces a good crop of. roughage and grain to market it by fattening stock. ‘I always liked the idea :of driving my Crops. to market rather than hauling them. This year, with a «good store of clover hay and corn, I believe I can market these crops at the best advantage by feeding a langeportion to my lamb crop. M'y lamibs at this writing, November 3, will average about ninety pounds. They are a fine uniform bunch of ’ lambs, and 1,.plan to market them about the first of the year. I know of no other live stock that can convert farmgrown roughage and grain into greater profit than well-grown lambs. —-—Leo C. Reynolds. HANDLING THE FALL PIGS. .T-is not so easy to raise and winter fall pigs as it is to produce spring pigs, largely because of the more se~ were weather the fall pigs have to go ithroug-h. But tell ,pigs may be grown ’ at a‘profit when conditions are made «favorable so that they may make as good use of .their feeds as do pigs grown under more favOrable weather conditions. Pigs that have to wade through mud, slush, and snow to get feed and water, and that have to stand shiver- .ing while they gulp their feed or cold draughts cf water, are easy subjects of cold and lung diseases. Most of the food is pansuined in an effort to keep their bodies warm. The most «essential thing for them is godd shel- te'r from the winds and rain. They need not be inept confined, in fact, we find it'well Ktrolleave a creep so that" they can get Moors during the day "find any pigs that may be ailing ,Or .through a puddle of mud and water to A good bit. Having plenty of light in the build- mg the feeder is quick to note the sanitary conditions in the :pens and ‘to. th-riftless. More tirequen‘t changes of ~ bedding are necessary when weedsare given in the for-m of slop, or when much .milk is given. One should not be sparing of bedding, nor is it well to bed the'pens deep, but rather just keep a' good, dry, smooth bed. This. will prevent the floors from becoming. cold and damp and the, pigs are not so likely to pile up in cold weather. . It is better to give all feeds in: troughs or self-feeders, rather than to throw the grains Onto the floors of the pens; There will be less feed wasted, the pigs will not turn up their "bedding in an effort to :get the feed, and it is the most sanitary way to feed. If the troughs are fixed with slats across the top, it will prevent the pigs from getting their feet into them and 'msting the feed. The high. or prices of. feeds demands greater care in handling and feeding them in order to make them profitable. Plenty of water for the growing pigs‘ is essential even though milk is being 'fed to them. Pigs do not get sufficient water in a slop‘ feed. Having a small stomach the pig requires a drink at frequent intervals, which is better for him, especially in cold weather, be cause if water is available all the “time he does not drink enough to chill ‘him Water about the normal temper-' ature of well water is best. If a creep is made outdoors for pigs, see that it is kept filled up outside so that they will not have to wade get in and out of the creep. When the proper precautions are'taken it is not, a. difficult matter to raise .a high per- centage of fall pigs economically.——J. L. Justice. 'GETS GOOD PRICE. RA P.

OF PERFORMANCE" Nerth Antrlm cow Testing Associ- ation,‘ is the first teeter to Send in completed entry blanks for the Michi- and remittances 'were received last week by the Dairy Extension Office, M. A. C., from this aseooiation. " The cows submitted for entry are owned by F. H. Hemstreet, of Belaire, owning four Holsteins, and E. B. Loehne, of Central Lake, owning two Jerseys. Record of'Performanpe blanks'have been sent to the Michigan cow testers. and it is expected Michigan dairy'men. will avail themselves of .the plan form- ulated by the Dairy Department, M. A. C., to permanently record the good records made in the cow testing asso- ciation work. - TEST COWS AND SEPARATORS. A VERY illuminating dairy display was shown at the Fall Festival given by the Newaygo County Farm Bureau at Fremont last “week. It showed that registration papers are not the only credentials needed to show a profit on milkers. One regis- tered Holstein produced 624.2 pounds of butter—fat in a. year, while another in the same testing association pro- duced only 206.8 pounds. A grade cow produced 652.6 pounds. Another part of the display showed a cream sep- arator that was losing its owner $1 a. day in cream going through into the skim-milk. The twelve years record of the Ne- waygo-County Cow Testing Associa- tion showed the first year’s average milk production of all cows in the association to be 5,354 pounds and of butter-fat 215 pounds, while the last year’s average was 6,755 pounds of milk and 321 pounds of butter-fat. These displays showed conclusively that both the cows and the separators should be tested regardless of whether they have'paper credentials, and that a. consistent following up of the les- sons learned by testing will increase the profit per cow—H. L. S. TESTING WORK IN SHIAWASSEE TO CONTINUE. N July, . 1923, Shiawassee- county dairymen got .together and organ- ized the first cow testing association in Shiawassee county. Bernard Hice was hired to do the testing work. George Winegar & Son had the high Their six-year-old pure-bred Jersey produced pounds of milk. E. L. Collister’s Hol- stein cow was high cow in milk pro- duction. Fred Martin had the high herd in ' both milk and butter~fat production.

Sons, Resting From the Lab'ors of the Day. dairy products. The high-producing herd of the organization, that of Frank Wilcox, was the only herd running on sweet clover for the month of June. Previous to this year but forty acres of this clover had been seeded by the members, but in the past summer months 222. acres Were put in. These practical men have observed that dur- ing the months when ordinary grasses gave little 'sustenance, sweet clover maintains an even flow of milk. A‘N OLD ASSOCIATION REORGAN- IZED. TTAWA county was one of the first counties in 'Michigan to or- ‘ ganize a. cow testing association. Rec- ords indicate that, following the start of cow test work in Newaygo county at Fremont, Ottawa county, was the next county, boasting of a. cow testing association in February, 1907. This old association lived for a time but, due to varying causes, dropped out; In July, 1923, County Agent Milham re- vived the cow testing work in Ottawa county. Now this association has com- pleted its first year. Myron McCarn, the cow tester, in- dicates that some excellent producing herds were members in this associa- tion. John Parks’ seven pure-bred Holsteins were high in milk produc- tion. This herd also included the high cow in butter-fat and milk production. ,George Taylor’s herd of seventeen grade Holsteins and Jerseys averaged 398 pounds of butter-fat, the highest in the association. Thirteen herds av- eraged above 300 pounds of butter-fat. ' pass New York city regulation. as d 3. all the league’s major operations.

Before March, 1923, the name “Dairylea.” was not known, yet we establighed this brand in the market and l" a. care- fully planned advertising campaign we have built up a consumer demand that has enabled us to get the full market price of standard advertised brands throughout the thirty-one states where we are distributing. In New York City alone we have 12,000 retail ac- counts out ofa possible 15,000. We have developed very favorable export , markets, particularly in Germany and South Africa. Our national sales or- ganization is under the supervision of division offices located in New York. Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rich- mond and New Orleans. " In the south we have adopted what is known as the “exclusive distributor system.” Under this plan we give wholesalers the ex- » elusive sale of “Dairylea.” in their par- ~ticular territory. This plan is proving very satisfactory for our more distant markets. It gives the wholesaler the desire to push the sale of our brand just as‘ he would his own and it allows us to reduce our sales force to the minimum. The initial cost of establishing “Dairylea. brand on the market has been very great. effort, however, is about completed and our case goods are moving satisfactor- ily. We are now able to cut down our sales force, reduce our advertising ex- pense and concentrate our efforts on the most desirable markets.

Competition was not so keen in the Clark sale, and consequently there was a lower range of prices, yet the oifering was practically all cleaned up and every animal that he had tagged found a buyer at a fair price. vWith the exception of a. few fall pigs the entire lot made an average price of something over $26, which Mr. Clark figures is fairly satisfactory, consider- ing the weight and conditibn of the offering and the fact that there are no tail ends left.’ - Breeders from Ohio and Indiana vied with Michigan farmers and hog breeders for possession of the better ones in both of these sales, and a One of Mr. Clark’s gilts was bought by one of the fleldmen for a customer, and given a long ride clear down into South Carolina.

Would like to know if I have abortion in my herd? A. H. Albion, Mich. ——Doubtless you have abortion infection in you1 heid, but by keeping you1 stable and yard clean and thoroughly disinfected you will after a time be able to get rid of the .disease. In every herd Where the disease exists, some of the cows are slow in coming in heat, others fail to breed. If any of your cows have vag inal discharge, flush with a one pel cent lysol solution daily. After the discharge ceases, breed the cow. Some cows abort only once, some a second time, but seldom a third time. The infection is very often kept alive by bringing new cows into your herd~ this you should keep in mind. No sure cure remedy has as yet been found for this disease.

WHEAT After advancing a short distance in- to new high ground, wheat prices have shown a tendency to hesitate for a. time. Reduced estimates of export- able surpluses, a change of front on the part of both flour buyers and ex- porters and resumption of speculative activity were responsible for the rise. While it is possible that the United States crop has been underestimated, particularly in the spring wheat states, this gain is more than offset by shrink— ing estimates for Argentine and Aus- tralia. Two weeks ago foreigners were reported to be reselling as they had overbought on nearby wheat, but they purchased substantial amounts on the advance, showing that their supply position is not an easy one. In general, there seems to be less flour sold ahead than usual, so that the large flour consumers and distributors still have much buying to do. While receipts remain of large volume, they have fallen off about 20 per cent in the last week and a little more diffi- culty is being experienced in buying wheat for export. Stocks on farms have been cleaned up much. more closely than usual so that the big vis- ible supply simply means that _much of the remainder of the crop is in the show windows. RYE Rye prices also moved into new high ground for the year, after suffer- ing a decline of 20 cents a bushel, but is slightly reactionary along With wheat. ' Clearances of rye have fallen off recently and the visible supply has increased as a result of the extremely heavy receipts. Since August 1, about 32,000,000 bushels have arrived at Min- neapolis and Duluth, against less than‘ 9,000,000 bushels a year ago. _ . Nevertheless, the rye Situation re- mains extremely strong. The lion’s share of our surplus was exported in the last three or four months, and probably half of the remainder is un- der contract for export, so that the unsold supply 1% quite small. The November estimate of the corn . crop showed little variation from pre- vious returns. Many sections report that the yield is' not coming up to axe , " . pectations so that a downward revis- e”; GRAIN ‘QUoTATIoNs‘: .v. ion may be necessary. .. armi‘reserves; were 102,000,000 ' bushe ‘sr’ as" against 84,000,000 bushels last year. The-qual- ity of the corn crop was'placed at. 63.2 . per cent. This is the lowest on record since 1897, which is as far back as this record is available. The ten-year av- erage is 83, In 1917, the last serious. soft corn year, it was‘ 75.2 per cent. Corn priceshad a pronounced upturn in the last week. The government's. estimate as to quality, reports that the new crop would be exhausted early. in some sections, moderate primary re- ceipts and the strength in bread grains constituted the battery of the. bullish forces. OATS . The movement of cats into distrib- utive channels is making a better showing than a few weeks ago while primary receipts have diminished. Stocks are mounting still, however, and are near a record level. Specula- tive buying of oats broadened materi- ally and~ lifted prices to the highest point in several weeks. The estimate of a crop of only 233,000,000 bushels for Canada against 392,000,000 bushels a year ago was a stimulating factor. SEEDS ’ The clover seed crop is estimated at 817,000 bushels, compared with 1,233,- 000 bushels last year and an average of 1,610,000 bushels from 1918 to 1922. Approximately 80 per cent of the tim- othy seed crop"had_been sold .by grow- ers up to November 4, according to a. report compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture. The move- ment to date has been slightly slower than in either of the last two years, however. . HAY A stronger undertone is apparent in, the principal hay markets as cooler weather has broadened the demand for some sections. Low grades continue hard to move. Timothy hay prices are close to the. low point of the season but are showing greater firmness at- present. FEEDS Feed markets are showing a strong- er tone under heavier purchases by feeders and dairymen. Offerings of both wheat larse'butthev ,. .

Receipts of dressed poultry in- creased sharply in the last few days but they were not as heavy as during the corresponding week a year ago.

The re- ceipts of butter at the leading mar. kets have shown a similar diminution. Low prices, backed by special efforts» on the part of distributors, have stim‘ ulated consumption. Butter is disap- pearing at a rate of about six per cent greater than a year ago.

' The Novemberestimate snows 3. rec’- ord potato crop.‘ The open fall tgeri- . an ' mitted growth to continue later usual and the estimate was raised nearly 31,000,000 bushels, or.ab0ut.7 per cent over a month ago. While the crop exceeded the previdus record es- ‘ tablished in 1922 by a slight margin, the principal late potato producing states have about 11,000,000 bushels less than at that time. Carlot ship- ments of potatoes from producing dis- tricts have diminished about 40 per cent in the last three weeks. The ar- rivals at consuming centers remain larger, however, and size of the crop leads buyers to ex- pect an ample supply right along so that but little tendency to accumulate stocks is noticeable. WOOL Wool~ prices advanced into newhigh7 ground for the» year during last week. Fleece woofs are one to two cents per pound higher than before, with a con- siderable amount being sold to mills. Some manufacturers failed to take care of their needs, expecting a post- election break,‘and are now forced to enter the market. Contracting the next clip 'in the west is under way on. a large scale at prices as high as 47c. tone, with prices still at a premium above the level in this country. Sub- stantial imports will be necessary be 'fore the next clip is taken off the sheep’s back. .- APPLES The apple market is steady to firm, with New York Baldwins quoted at $5605.50 per. barrel in eastern cities, an midwestern Jenathans bringing $7@9 in the middlewest. The carlot movement from producing states is gradually falling off and is now about one-third lighter than a month ago. DETROIT CITY MARKET The markets were well loaded with produce of all kinds. Selling was quite brisk and prices little changed: Good apples were easy sellers.‘ First. quality pears were taken readily. Fancy cauliflower and celery were in‘ ready demand. Lettuce was a dull seller. There was a moderate call for carrots, beets, turnips and parsnips, .but cabbage, peppers, parsley and mus- tard moved slowly. The heavy supply of potatoes soldslowly.
