AST year thirty-seven men qual-

ified for membership in the Three-

hundred Bushel Club of the Mich-

igan Potato Producers" Association by.

each growing 300 bushels or more of

potatoes ,to the acre on an area of. at

least two continuous acres.

The average acre yield for the thir-

ty-seven growers was 373 bushels, of





‘which 323. 5 bushels were of U S. No.





1 grade. The average quality of the

crop produced by the 300 bushel club

members was excellent, most lets be-

ing of good market size, smooth and

of good color. Since satisfactory yields

and high quality are two essential fac-

tors in. successful potato production

and marketing, growers should be in-

terested in knowing the methods of

production employed by the 300 bushel

club growers.

High Quality Seed [the first Essential.

The recommendation 'so often made

that for'better yields and better qual-“1n

ity potatoes it is necessary to plant

high quality seed that is free from dis-

ease and is from vigorous high-yield-

ing fields, is vindicated by the 300

bushel men, all of whom planted certi-

fiedseed. It is unreasonable to expect

good potatoes from poor seed, and

there is little excuse now for any

Michigan grower being. handicapped

with poor seed, since .Michi‘gan certi-

fied seed can be readily obtained at a

very reasonable price.

A Practical Journal for the Rural Family .. ,





SECTION THE CAPPER FARM PRESS





By H. C. Moore





All of the club members treated

their seed before planting,_with cor-

rosive sublimate. This helped them in

prod cing crops practically free from

blem shes of scab and black scurf.

These two diseases not only lessen the

market value of potatoes, but the black

scurf is largely responsible for the

many poor stands and weak plants so

commonly‘seen. The black scurf‘ or-

ganism causes a rotting of the under-

ground portion of the stem, thus weak-

ening or killing the plant.



’Large Seedr.Pieces and Close Spacing

Lessen Per Cent of Undesirable

Spuds.



, Large, ill-shaped, rough potatoes are

not wanted on any market. There-

fore, the grower should make it a

point to hold the production of such



undesirable stock to a minimum, and

increase the percentage of medium

sized, smooth, sound. potatoes, which

sell to the best advantage on the

market.



‘The practice of close spacing and

using seed pieces of good size has

been found by certified seed growers

and 300 bushel club members a very

effective means of producing potatoes

of desirable size and quality. Practi-

cally all certified. seed growers new

plant in rbws thirty-four to thirty-six





inches apart, with the hills twelve to

eighteen inches apart in the rows.

Thirty-six of the 300 bushel club mem~

hers planted in drills whilejust one

planted in check rows.



The following are a few of the more

common distances of spacing used by

the 300 bushel club men last year:

33x151,é inches; 34x13 inches; 36x12

inches; 36x16 inches; 34x22 inches; 34

x12 inches. The highest yield of 510

bushels per acre was obtained on a

field where the bills were spaced 33

x15% inches.



The club members believe that it

does not pay to be mo economical of

seed. They cut their seed to average

one and one-half to two-ounces, and

planted at the average rate of 20.6

bushels per acre. Large seed pieces

are less apt to rot in the soil than

seed that is cut small; furthermore,

large seed pieces generally produce

more stalks per hill than very small

pieces and consequently they produce

a greater number of medium sized,

smooth potatoes.

ever, the best quality of potatoes are

grown on the sandy loam or gravelly

loam soils. In the 300 Bushel Club

for 1924, twenty—eight men planted on

sandy loams, while nine planted on

heavy loams or clay loams. On the

lighter soil types, the color of the

potato is generally brighter than on

heavier soils. Also, on heavy soils

that were not friable, the tubers are

apt to be ill—shaped...



Commercial fertilizer, stable manure

and alfalfa, sweet clover or clover sods

played an important part in boosting

the yields of the 300 bushel men.



Commercial fertilizer was used by

thirty of the thirty-seven growers at

an average application per acre of 614

pounds. Some of the more common

analyses used were 0-10-10; 2—8-6; 2-

8-10 and sixteen per cent acid phos-

phate. The better potato growers re—

gard commercial fertilizer as a valu—

able supplement for the stable manure

and other organic matter that is plow—

ed under. The tendency to use a com-

plete fertilizer of high analysis is be-

coming more general among certified

seed producers.



The invaluable part played by stable

manure, alfalfa and sweet clover in

the proper fitting of the soil for pota-

toes is evidenced by the fact that

thirty-two of the thirty-seven members

used stable manure at the rate of 11.3

Ypsilanti ever becomes general

over our state and nation; then the

question that has championed the at;





tention of rural leaders during the-





past generation will become obsolete,





and in its place the cry will be, “What





means shall we employ to get the

fiirplus youth of the country into the

city where they are needed to build

automobiles and airplanes and fly-

catchers ?” - --

Take, for instance, the lad who plays

the piccolo in the band at the Lincoln





Consolidated School, what persuasive.





powers can be used to get such lad

to pick up, bag and baggage, and move

off to a dirty job in some big factory?

It will be as hard to do that as it is

to keep him on the farm when there is

nothing that interests him.



And then, if that same boy is given

an idea of how to keep pigs orwcalves,

or chickens a bit better than his dad

keeps them, and he is urged in con-

nection with his school work to keep

and care for these animals as he stud-

ies about them in classes—if this be

done how in this wide world are we

going to pry that lad from the farm

community?



Then, if in addition to the band and

the pigsAhe is permitted that further

pleasure of making a milking stool, a.

book case, a ladder, or a truck body,

or what not, how much dynamite, or

pyratol, or T T would be required to

blow such a boy of! the farm into the

stuffy city?





Neither are these all the anchors





"that the farm boy or the future will

have, to make it hard for the city men

to reach him. It will be necessary to

overcome the influence of highly train-

ed teachers and rural leaders who

know all those little twists and turns

that make school work a pleasure. At

the Lincoln Consolidated School, such

teachers and leaders are to be found.

For instance, one farm boy had drop-

ped out of school for two years and

had secured a job clerking in a store.

On several occasions this boy had in-

dicated that he did not wish longer to

go to school. But the work being done

at this consolidated school finally

aroused the boy’s curiosity and

later he was persuaded to attend. Not

long after that he told his father that

he wished that there were no Satur-

days in the’week for he would rather

go to school ~than to stay at home.

This boy’s case was not unusual. The

same interest and enthusiasm were





heard from scholars on every side.





They all like their school work; and

they like it because they have teach-

ers that have time and ability to teach

interestingly.



Grammar has a bad reputation. It

is dry, as usually taught. There is

nothing exciting about it to grip the

mind. One of the teachers in this

house represented verbs, a necessary

member of every sentence, and anoth-

er house stood for nouns. Connected

With these were other houses showing

the relation of adjectives and adverbs

and prepositions and conjunctions to

these larger houses—all visualized so

that the dullest boy or girl can read—

ily comprehend.



This suggests the type of teaching

these 541 country boys and girls are





getting, and over which they are so‘





enthusiastic. Naturally, they get more

from their studies than could possibly

be given if the old one-room school,

just as a farmer who is deeply inter-

ested in growing crops and feeding an-

imals gets farther than does a farmer

who spends all the good days fishing,

hunting and keeping dust from the

benches in front of the country store.



Another thing will hold these lads to

the country. The dads have gotten

saturated with the spirit of the school.

Every week they seem to discover

ways in which thememmunity is being

served in a helpful way, and quite as

frequently these dads find themselves

reciprocating by supporting with help

and interest the activities of the in-

stitution.



Early this spring. for instance, 150

farmers, from the sixtyothree square

miles served by the school, met and

worked from one to three days grad-





ing the school grounds, making a run~





ning track, football field, base ball





diamonds, planting trees, sowing grass





seed and doing other things to make

these premises not only attractive and

useful to the scholars, but also to

make it a. real community center.

While the school building was com-

pleted only last October, a community

park has already been started Where

families or organizations can come for

a picnic, to eat their dinners, play

ball, and for other purposes. Stoves

have been built in this park for the

use of the patrons of the district.



It is interesting to note that in

planting this park, trees were placed

there in memory of the thirteen one-

room schools which the consolidated

school replaced; also in memory of

the old pioneers who cleared the farms

and paved the way for this splendid

institution.



The domestic science room where

the girls of the school learn to cook

is ideal to prepare community dinners

which are held in the big gym'nasium

across the hall. Last week a little

mimeographed letter sent home to the

parents by the pupils brought out over

600 to attend a parent-teacher meet-

ing. These meetings are held each

month. Here there is opportunity to

wrestle with the mighty problems that

confront every live locality. School

matters, as well as home subjects and

agricultural problems and projects,

come in for lively and helpful discus-

These activities reflect upon the

DETROIT, MAY 23, 1925

CURRENT COMMENT





OME of the indus-





 





The L trial magnates and



, a few leaders in agri-

‘Farmer" cultural thought seem

Part to think that the

farmer is doing too





much talking and too littlé work to

best alleviate some unfavorable con-

ditions the farming industry is in.



One prominent thinker brings (up

the condition of the pioneer farmer

and explains that conditions today are

much better than in the early days.

‘He contends that the farmer now has

living conditions so much better and

at less effort than a generation ago.

The pioneer worked from sun to sun,

and if the farmer of today would do

' the same there would be no complaint

about expenses, taxes, etc.



But why bring up the condition of

the pioneer farmer, unless you also

bring up the condition of the laboring

man and the merchant and profession-

al man of that time, for the whole

question of dissatisfaction comes from

comparative conditions? The farmer

is discontented because he can see

that he is not getting benefits from his

laborvequal to that from other callings.



Is it the duty of the farmer to work

ifrom sun to sun to produce cheap

food and raw material which will make

it possible for the laboring man to

have an eight—hour day, or the captain

of industry to pile up his millions?

The farmer is willing to do his share,

always has been, but is dissatisfied





now because he thinks he is doing _





more.



If the farmer keeps busy from sun

to sun and says nothing, he can al-

ways do so. It’s his fight for equality.

No one else will do it for him. Educa-

tion is doing much for the farmer. It

shows him whatever inequalities there

may be, andgives him power to com-

bat it.





EING a nation but

A a few years from





. the wilderness, it is

L'ttle necessary at about

ERoadology this period of our ex-





istence to learn a few

things about roads. Certainly we are

now getting our instruction rapidly.

For one thing, the American people

are learning that roads cannot be built

‘ without money. No method has as yet

‘ been devised that does away entirely,

or in any considerable degree, with

heavy costs. We have come to know.





 





' have

' no the

[are built in the right place and of a:

character that will stand the trafic. -





Good roads reduce the costs of carry-

ing loads more than t arcade them-

selves coet. . In otherwords, improved





roads are . paid for whether they are '





built or not. By building them we can

haul cheaper and at the same time

whatever enjoyment travel af-

fords us



Another matter we have learned is,





' that it does not pay. to hard-surface all





roads. Traffic frequently does not .jus-

tify the expense. Whenit does then

it is cheapest to make. the surface

hard. But no road should be improv-

ed beyond ‘its capacity to return to the.

ublic at least what it cost '

’Another delusiOn is the permanent-

road idea. Thereis no such thing.

Road-s do wear. Because of this they

must be repaired. Any road policy





-that leaves out a repair program is at





fault, and should not be adopted. Good

roads can only become permanent in-

stitutions when the maintenance work

is adequate and continuous.





These matters seem simple when

put on paper, but really it is not the

easiest matter to apply them with un-

erring judgment. For which reason it

becomes a matter of the greatest con-

cern to the, taxpayers as well as to

the public, to have this work in the

'1ands of competent persons.





E can see noth-





Beat ing that Will bin-

The der the Mexican Bean

Beetle family getting



Beetle into Michigan bean





fields. Last year it

was only in twelve Ohio counties, and

now it can be found in every county

of that state. No doubt this year it

will reach the Michigan bean territory.



There is, however, a control for this

pest. Proper spraying will keep it

An application of an arsen-

ical, either in the form of a dust or

spray, will turn the trick. The import-

ant thing to keep in mind is that the

poison must cover the underside of

the leaves. Applications should be

made as soon as the beetles or eggs

are found.



The reason we bring attention to

this copper colored ladybug is that

bean farmers of the state should be

on the lookout for its appearance.

Forewarned, farmers will be ready to

fight if fighting is necessary.





UR state is known

A for many things;

it is a state of diver-

sity and versatility.

Among the many

things it is known for

is- its celery, that vegetable which

looks so picturesque in growth and is

so nerve sustaining to humans in con-

sumption.



Standardization is the vogue nowa-

days; it is a fad that has value. We

feel sure that it will help agriculture

as much as it has industry. Michigan

has standardized in many things al-

ready, but in celery she still shows

her diversification.



Our celery growers and packers are

still using twenty-four different sizes

and shapes of celery packages. A per-

son can have his celery packed in

most any kind of package he wants,

apparently.



The growing of celery is a central-

ized industry. It can only occur where

there is muck land suitable for it. But

we wonder if the growers from these

different regions could not get togeth~

er and decide on a package. Would it

not enable them to get their packages

cheaper and make the marketing of

their products easier because of a

standard pack. ‘



Perhaps these different celery grow-

ing communities are competing with

each other and therefore wish “indi-

interest and comment or federal au- ,





thorities who are studying marketing

minds of these men that Michigan celv

Some places, notably in Europe, it has

In America it is saving the neck of

western fruit enthusiasts, and in var-

ious ways it has helped to solve many

farmers’ problems. But in other places

it has proven a. sad failure, not be—

cause of cooperation in itself, but be-

cause of poor management.





~ It seems that one of the chief caus-

es of failure is the American spirit of

hurry. Even on the farm, away from

the city rush, we want results quickly.

In our cooperative endeavors we ex-

pect patronage dividends to the full

extent that the traffic will bear. This

prevents the establishment of a. re-

serve upon which the organization can

rely in unfavorable seasons. The lack

of reserve has caused the death of





many co-ops and the serious illness of -





many others.





In Europe the co—ops help the social

conditions of the community by estab-

lishing play grounds, community cen-

ters and such things.





In several large cooperative organ-

izations in this country, women have

been added to the membership. Thus,

in that way the problems of the co-op

become household discussions, just as

politics are now. Even though these

organizations are just “business-only”

affairs, they should have a family in-

terest because the outcome of these

“business” organizations make a lot of

difference in pleasures the whole fam-

ily get. Failure means suffering, suc-

cess means greater pleasures.



We believe that cooperation is just

in its infancy here, and in due time it

will benefit rural America in many

ways unheard of now.

Acctdents to get a thrill of speed



or to get “next to the

ground.” Exhilaration from the brisk





air, or joy from the beautiful sunshine,

or perhaps poor moonshine, must be

expressed in some way. Exhilaration

and joy usually are expressed in ac-





tion, in speed. Therefore, the gas is

stepped on, or the throttle pulled

down.





The other day, John and wife were

out “taking the air.” Mary said, “Why,





John, you are going forty miles, and .





you know the law says only thirty-

five.” And John, being conservative,

said, “Why, I didn’t know I was going

at all.” But he lifted the pressure

with his foot, out of consideration of

Mary rather than the law.



When we attain a speed and keep

it, we become accustomed to it. It is

commonplace; it gives no thrill until

something happens, and then there

are real thrills and often serious con-

sequences. / .

Patron: 0’ La?

IFE don’t mean settin’ still; the

word itself means 'moshun. And

when we are livin’ we are either get-

tin’ bigger and better, or smaller and

worse.





.Most 0’ us ain’t entirely satisfied

with life. We think life hands us

somethin’. But it ain’t so; it’s ’cause

most 0’ us don’t know how ta live.

We are takin’ poison an’ don’t know it.



Our friend Webster says poison is

a agent What has a harmful and nox-

ious effect On life.

Well, I kinda fig

ure lots 0’ things

we do is got that

kinda effect on

life and is pre«

ventin’ us from

gettin’ the most

outta life.



Hate, werry,an~

ger, fear, jealousy

and all those things should be labeled

with skull and crossbones, ’cause they

are/damagin’ ta the ones what does

them.





 





It don’t make no differunce how

much we hate somebody else, that

hate is hurtin’ us more’n than the one

we hate. While we'are hatin’ we ain’t

thinkin’ good thoughts and when we

ain’t thinkin’ good thoughts, we ain’t

enjoyin’ ourselves. So, even if some-

body did somethin’ they didn’t know

no better than ta do, we’ re cuttin’ our

own enjoymunt 0’ life by hatin’ ’em.

And when we hate, or get angry, we

are doin’ just the thing they want us

ta do, but if we don’t get angry, are

fool ’em and they find it ain’t doin’

’em no good ta do the things they’re

doin’. Then they’ll maybe quit, and





,. maybe respect us fer actin’ decent





when they was actin’ indecent.





The time we got fer livin’ ain’t long,

and while we are here we should try

and get just as much outta life as we

can, so what’s the use of hatin’, wor-

ryin’, gettin’ jealous, fearin’, when we

can do somethin’ else what’s lots more

fun?



Gettin’ jealous hurts us more’n the

one we are jealous of. Worryin’ hurts

nobody but us, and fearin’ just keeps

us from doin’ things we should do.

We are often afraid 0’ things what is

just as afraid 0’ us.



Fer inst, I used ta be afraid o’ Sofie

but when I got so I wasn’t afraid 0’

her, I found she used ta be afraid

0' me.



I was just worryin’ that maybe you





' won’t know what this is all about, so





I want ta tell you this is the fifth 0'

my serious 0’ sermuns. The text is,

“Hate, fear, anger, jealousy, vanity,

and etc, never done nobody no good

at no time."





Well, I guessI I’ll quit now, so you





won’t be won-yin about when I'm goin'





ta quit. AMEN. HY SYCKLE.

greater return to the tarnish As we





look at; the obstacles ix} the way of

accomplishment we are sometimes

disheartened and led to think that





“* farmers, as a class, are never going





’to. adopt these policies and practices

'which will bring better agricultural

conditions. .



It is quite natural that a rapidly ad-

~ vancing civilization looks with dis-

pleasure upon that conservatism which

delays the adoption of better methods

of doing things, and scientific atti-

itudes. In a new country like ours we

are apt to have...the impatience of

youth if things don’t advance as ran

idly. as we think they should. A



While there are some farmers who

do not adcpt scientifically proven prac-

tices as readily as they- might, I am

rather inclined to think that the mass

of the farmers are more progressive

than they are gIVen credit for. There

has surely been a marked change in

the methods of agriculture during the

past generation, in spite of the fact

that the farmer is naturally conserva-

tive and slow to make changes.



The typical farmer of today appreci-

ates the advantage of exact scientific

knowledge asran aid in his business.

The scientific man is working in all

fields of agriculture and his influence

is felt even in those sections where

his authority is not openly acknowl—

edged.



Not many years ago some farmers

would not use one of those “new steel

mold-board plows because they

thought the steel would make the soil

sour. There was much difl'lculty in

making some farmers realize the value

of pure—bred sires, or good seed. Until

just recently many dairymen could

not “see the good in testing cows.” It

is only recently that selling milk on

the basis of butter-fat content was gen-

erally approved. Seven years ago

Michigan farmers quite strenuously

opposed the grading of potatoes, but

at their request the Michigan Legisla—

ture just passed one of the most strin-

gent potato grading laws in America.



Farmers have adopted modern ma-

chinery for productive operations and

follow better methods when convinced

they are right, or are better than old

methods. This reluctance to adopt

new things and follow. new‘ methods

.is natural, for it is easy to follow

those practices which are habitual and

very difficult to do things in a new

way.



When I look back over the history

of agriculture, I have a high regard





:3 $313,313,033 problems confront as- J

> _ qits advance toward





her the progressive attitude of the





American farmer, and I have hope ,





that he will keep pace with the march

of science. There are some practices

which the farmer discusses much and

objects to strenuously before he ac-

cepts them; but if they are sound he

finally adopts them. ,



The opposition of farmers ‘to some

practices is amusing as we look back

over history. Just the other day I was

reading a book on English Agriculture.

In this book was an article which ap-

peared in an English agricultural jour-

nalin 1888, on the subject of selling

live stock by live weight. It appears

that in those days the English farmer

did not weigh his cattle when he sold

them, but estimated the weight. The

man who wrote‘this article advanced

arguments to‘ show why it would be

better to weigh the live stock than to

make an estimate of the weight. The

practice at that time was to estimate

the weight by measurement, and there

were books giving instructions as to

the mode of ascertaining the weight.



Surely no farmer of today would

want to depend upon such a method

to determine the weight of his live

stock.





It seems almost incredible that the

English farmer of less than forty years

ago preferred this method to that of

weighing. However, as time goes on

we are apt to look back upon some of

the ideas of this day with the same

degree of amusement.



Advancement is slow. Science has

a difficult task to fight its way into

practice because it is continually

bringing forth new methods. But in

agriculture as an industry, a true faith

in science is being founded and man

more readily gives up old practices

when new ones prove their worth.





WAYNE COUNTY REPRESENTA-

TlON.





 





N its effect on the fat of future



agricultural legislation, probably no

measures were of greater importance

than those which materially increased

Wayne county’s representation in both

the senate and house. It will be re-

membered that Wayne was given two

additional senators and seven more

representatives. Since the total mem-





bership'of both branches is limited,

this means that rural districts will

have corresponding decreases in their

representation. This will make it even

more difllcult to secure tax reforms

and other measures desired by the

farmers.

was a boy, the interior

beauty and charm of Ameri-

can homes were due in large

measure to the beautiful and

artistic woodwork finishes.

You may have seen and ad—

mired these handsome fin-

ishes, built up with as many

as five or six coats of aint, in

reproductions of C 0 on i a 1

houses and 1n the finest mod-

ern homes.





Up to a short time ago such

interior paint finishes were a

luxury that only the wealthy

could afford. But there is

available today for interiors

of homes everywhere a flat

paint finish that is similar in

beauty and durability to the

old rubbed- .down finish. This

flat finish is easier to apply

than the rubbe down finish,‘

much more economical (be-

cause fewer coats and less la-

bor are required) and very

durable. Not only for wood-

word but for the painting of

walls this finish 1s ideal. With

it many very beautiful and

distinctive effects can easily

be obtained, among them two-

tone figured finishes, like the

one shown above.

We find no regulation for license to

move buildings on highways, other

than local ordinances of cities, and the

provision in Comp. Laws (1915), Sec.

4410, that if use of highway is inter-





 





‘ fered with by such moving, the high-





way commissioner may serve notice

on the person making the obistruction

and providing penalty of'$5 per day

until the obstruction is removed. There

is no requirement as to the height of

that they shall be so erected as not to

interfere with use of the highway.

FEED FOR A PREGNANT HEIFER.





 





I am feeding one Holstein-Friesian

heifer now. She is two years old, due

to freshen in October. I just recently

purchased her and she is in fine con-

dition right now. Her ration by the

former owner consisted of a good deal

of ensilage, while the writer has none

at all. Since I have to purchase my

feeds, your ration may consist of the

very best feeds. Right now, I am giv-

ing her about seven pounds of ground

oats per day, which she cleans up in





 





good shape. She weighs about 800

pounds. I understand her ration ought

to consist of some feed that will put

her in good condition for a long milk-

ing period. She is out of a IOU-pound

three-year-old and so I have rather big

hopes for my heifer.-—G. K. .





After a heifer is pregnant there is

little danger in over-feeding her. The

few months previous to a. heifer’s

freshening for the first time, is the

proper time to feed liberally. Then is

the time to get her in condition for

good work, not only for the first pe-

riod of lactation, but for all future

work. Before she freshens first is the

time of all times to develop her udder.

Don’t be afraid of her getting too fat,

even to appearing beefy, that will all

disappear and she will gradually as

sume the dairy shape as she squares

into the work of producing milk.

There is some danger of over-feed-

ing a dairy heifer calf up to the time

she becomes pregnant. Over-fatness

then is liable 'to produce permanent

injury. - . ,. ‘ _

There, is no better grain -'to’ feed





 





 





than the ground oats you are feeding.

Most people would not think of feed-

ing grain while on pasture, especially

to a young heifer like this, but under





the conditions ‘mentioned—making a'

pended.





SIGNERS OF. WILL.





 





A lady friend changed her will, and

had my husband and I sign it Without

knowing what the contents were. Did

we do right? Would this effect the

legality ‘of the will, or make us obli-

gated in any way?—-Mrs. D. E. W.





It is not necessary that the wit-

nesses to a will know the contents;

and in most states it is not even nec-

essary that they know it is a will. It

is sufficient that the testator declares

he signs it as his free not and instru-

ment and the witnesses subscribe in

his presence—Rood.





A RICH FERTILIZER.





 





Is it possible for some companies to

have fertilizers with twenty-five per

cent sulphate of ammonia and forty-





four per cent acid phosphate?——L. D. .1.





It would not be difficult to produce

a brand of fertilizer with the formula

mentioned.



Sulphate of ammonia. contains twen-

ty per cent nitrogen. Acid phosphate

contains from twelve to eighteen per

cent of phosphoric acid, and sulphate

of potash contains fifty per cent ac-

tual potash.



Now making up 100 pounds of fer-

tilizer:



Twenty-five pounds of sulphate of

ammonia equals five per cent nitrogen.



Forty-four pounds of sixteen per

cent acid phosphate equals seven per

cent of phosphoric acid. I



Ten pounds of sulphate of potash

equals five per cent potash.



To this seventy-nine pounds of fer—

tilizer material, twenty-one pounds of

sand filler is added.



It would make a. better fertilizer, of

course, if you used sixty-five pounds of

acid phosphate and no filler, but it

would cost more.

A man has four children grown and

He is seventy-two years old and can

do a little work. Do they have to give

him money besides his room and

board and clothes? Can he make one

or two of the boys take care of him

grid tliéa others not help at a_ll?-—Mrs.

support—Rood. ’





INTEREST ON MORTGAGE.

AM ERICANIZING BY RADIO.





.THE United States probably will

soon employ radio broadcasting in

an effort to Americanize its six mil-

lion adult aliens. The cooperation of

about twenty large broadcasting sta-

tions will be sought by the Federal

,Council of Citizenship Training and

the Bureau of Naturalization.

Although radio broadcasting has

been found of great value in ,every

walk of life from politics to the search

for lost persons, curiously enough, its

adaptation to the education and ulti-

'mate naturalization of foreigners with-

in our gates has not occurred to either

the radio broadcaster_nor the govern-

!ment bureaus concerned until recently.

' The very foundation of our future

welfare and unity depends upon the

education and amalgamation of our

adopted sons and daughters from oth-

er lands who are entitled to every

privilege accorded to a citizen born

.here, with the exception of the right

to become President or vice—president.





Field oii‘lces of the Bureau of Nat-

uralization are located in practically

every large city where aliens are at

all numerous and it is believed that

broadcasting from these centers would

ibe very beneficial. Among the princi-

gpal cities mentioned as promising

jfields for radio education are New

York, Brooklyn, Newark, Boston, Phil-

Baltimore, Buflalo, Cleve-

land, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, St.

Louis, New Orleans, Les Angeles and

San Francisco.

any effort made in their education.

The influence of, this bird for good

the crow is accused outnumber its

Lmay be lessened or entirely prevented

by protective measures, while in its

crows will usually take this and leave

untouched that which has been plant-

.“scare crows,” although some of them

sometimes fail to accomplish their pur-

pose; ~certain unusual objects such as

pieces of shining tin moving in the

wind, newspaper placed on the ground,

and bodies of dead crows hung about

in places where easily seen, will prove

successful in certain instances.





Its. depredations on poultry are gov-

erned largelylby local conditions. and

its visits to poultry yards are most

frequent when it has young to feed,

and in consequence if protective meas-

ures are undertaken during the months

of May and June, its poultry robbery

can be reduced to a minimum. Crows

can be held in check to a certain ex-

tent by the destruction of their nests

in the spring when they contain eggs

or young.



In sections where woodlands con-

taining crows’ nests are close to farm

yards, its depredations on poultry can

be greatly lessened by the destruction

of these nests. The success of this

measure lies in the fact that most of

the crows’ raids on poultry are prompt‘

ed by its desire to secure food for its

young. )While it would be unwise to

give the crow absolute protection and

afford the farmer no recourse when

the bird is doing damage, it would be

equally unwise to try to exterminate

it. Consequently, control measures.

BELIEVES SUGAR BEETS ARE A

SAFE CROP.





 





HAT sugar beets look like a pretty



safe crop for many Michigan farm-

ers to tie to, after consideration of pro-

duction and market factors which are

already knowu, is the opinion of Prof.

J. F. Cox, head of the farm crops de-

partment at the Michigan Agricultural

College. ’



“In spite of the fact that this has

been an unusual year for the prepara-

tion of seed-beds for sugar beets,” says

Professor Cox, “it is apparent that the

average will not quite equal that of

last year unless more farmers in the

next week or so conclude that beets

are a safe crop. -.



“Apparently some have been de-

terred from planting, due to announce-

ments of large reserves of sugar

abroad and comparatively low prices

prevailing at the present time. It

should be kept in mind that the per

capita consumption of sugar has in-

creased in the past five years in the

United States from eighty-five to‘125

pounds per persOn, and also thatthe

sugar beet acreage of the great west—

‘ern sugar producing states is much

less this year, one sanctions inroads

Should we have another cold, wet sum-

~it is not advisable to plant\'too large

HOW TO DRIVE THE BOYS FROM

THE FARM.





 





(Continued from page 677).





atmosphere in the home and give to

the lives of these boys and girls a

more helpful background; and it might

be said here that to success, at least,

there is required a lot of background



This rambling story began with the

school band. It is possible to have a.

band in this school because it draws

from so large a community. The same

boys attending the thirteen one~room

schools could hardly have been

brought together for the purpose.

Further, on the day we visited the

school, plans were completed for giv—

ing all students of the school who

wished piano lessons. Some seventy

enrolled for this work. Each will re-

ceive two lessons each week at a

weekly cost of forty cents.



In working out the curriculum of

this consolidated school and the de-





: tails of the community program, it was





not assumed that by keeping the boys

anchored to the farm through a mul-

tiplicity of interests tlie girls neces-

sarily would remain. They, too, are

provided for in the program of the

school. Some have entered the band,

a large number are enrolled for piano

lessons, while domestic science gives

the girls needed information on pre-

paring and compounding foods, dress-

making and housekeeping. Athletics

and all the extra features of the school

are equally as available to the girls

as to the boys.



This phase of the work has such

strength that it really amounts to an-

other big reason why the boys of the

future will not be inclined to leave

the community to take up life in cit-

ies; for here they will not only have

intensified their interest in the busi-

ness of farming, but they can also find

mates with equal capabilities and like

tastes for the creating of happy homes.



The fact that this school ‘is fast win-

ning its way into the hearts of the

people of this big district, even those

who at first strongly opposed it, and

further that people not only over the

state but from the most remote states,

and even from across the Atlantic, are

coming to Michigan to witness the

work of the school, the fact that these

things are happening makes one antic-

ipate the general establishment of like

schools in the future. And when this

is done, the thing suggested in the

head of this story, “that it may be dith-

Cult in. the future to get the farm boys

into the city," is, likely to raise a real

problem for the consideration of city

social leaders; . I»

crop is immature, the potatoes are

soggy and of poor eating quality, the

skin‘s easily bruised and turns black.

The shipping of green, or immature

potatoes is far too common a practice

in many sections of Michigan. Earlier

planting should be more generally

adopted in those sections where early

fall frosts.are of common occurrence.



The quality of practically all lots of

potatoes grown in 1924 by the 300

Bushel Club members was excellent,

practically all lots were well matured,

with bright tough skin that did, not

“feather” in the process of digging

and storing. Twenty—six of the club

members planted before the tenth of

June, while the remaining eleven

planted before. June 18.





Timely Cultivation and Thorough

Spraying Produce Results.





AlLof the 300 Bushel Club members

kept their ’fields free from grass and

weeds, usingthe level mgthod of cul-

tivation. Hilling potatoes is not rec-

ommended for well drained fields in

sections where droughts may occur.

Soil moisture can usually be better

conserved by level cultivation. Men

in the 300 Bushel Club say that the

most important cultivations are made

before the plants are three or four

inches high. They begin cultivating

as soon as planting is done by going

over the field with a spike-tooth har-

row or drag. Other cultivations are

made with a. weeder or drag at inter-

vals of ten days or so until the plants

are four inches or so high. These

early cultivations keep the soil in a

mellow condition and kill weed seed-

lings at the most critical stage of their

growth. Very little hand-hoeing is nec-

essary where such early cultivations

are given. . ~



When the rows are distinct, cultiva—

tions are made between rows. The

first row cultivation is fairly deep, but

subsequent cultivations should be

shallow. By the time the plants are

in blossom cultivation should gener-

ally be discontinued.





Last year the average number of

cultivations made» by the 300 Bushel

Club men before the plants were up,

was 2.5, while 3.5 was the average

number made after the plants were

above ground.





'All 300 Bushel Club members do

ture and 'arsenicals for the control of

insects and foliage diseases. They use

H OldPFences Made New in using this time-tested post. For years they have been

5 at Slight Expense doing everything that could be expected of any fence post





and doing it so well that today there- are millions of these

famous posts in use on thousands of farms. The farmers

of the country long ago put the stamp of leadership on

this post.



There are many features in the Red Top Studded Tee that make it the

logical post for you. There isn’t a single hole punched in this post. It is

made extra strong with a full length reinforcing rib. The anchor plate is

attached by a method which does not weaken the post at this vital strain-

bearing point. This plate is especially designed so that the sub-soil, in-

stead of being disturbed and loosened as the post is driven, automatically

packs around the sturdy anchor plate, giving perfect anchorage.





The Red Top One-Man Driver and Handy Fastener make it possible to

build fences with less labor and at less cost. The fasteners come free with

the post. They are the fasteners with the long leg which wraps all the

way around the stem of the post, permanently holding the wire in place.

These fasteners don’t loosen up or let go and so do away with constant

restapling, restretching and repair.





The pure aluminum metallic finish, another Red Top feature, protects





the post and makes neat fences which add to the attractiveness and





value of the farm.





You can depend on your fences supported by Red Tops. They stay

tight and keep stock, yours and your neighbors’, at home, thus prevent-

ing injury, loss and damage. Every Red Top you drive in your fence

lines makes a direct and lasting cut in your fencing costs.

and water, 100 gallons. This should

be applied under high pressure and

should wet all the surfaces of the fol<

WHY NOT PUT AN END TO

CANCER?





 





F anything can be done about pre-

1 venting cancer it is high time that

we were getting at it. Take typhoid

fever, smallpox, measles, scarlet fever,

whooping cough, diphtheria, influenza

and appendicitis all combined, and the

total death rate is less than that de-

manded by cancer in the year 1924.

A sure cure for cancer has not yet

been discovered. We do know, though,

that in the early stages cancer is a

local disease, and that it is not con-

tagious, nor hereditary. If it is re-

moved in its beginning stage that is

the end of it. Hundreds of people,

every year, do have cancers removed,

and get well thereby. Yet there are

all too many who ignore the warning

symptoms until too late, as is shown

by the many citizens of Michigan who

died of cancer in the single year 1924.

If I were to decide on the one thing

that would do most to stop this heavy

cancer death rate I would give this

advice: Face it boldly. If any per-

son past forty has an obstinate, sus-

picious sore, or an unexplained lump,

proceed at once to the nearest Quali-

fled medical authority and get a defi-

nite decision as to its nature before

it has time to progress. If it is can-

cer, the safe treatment is: First, sur-

gery; second, X-Ray; third, radium.

To show how much this advice is

needed I have only to tell you thatdn

a large proportion of the Michigan

deaths from cancer, the morbid growth

was in such a. location that it must

have forced itself upon the patient’s

notice in plenty of time to have been

removed. No one will ever know why

these tragedies of delay were permit-

ted. Perhaps the patient had some





., clever friend who assured him that it

was nothing but a chronic sore. Per.

h‘aps he went to a cheap doctor NVhO

tried to cure the growth with an acid

or a paste and thus wasted precious

time until too late. ’ Perhaps he was

so sure that a doctor would advise an

operation that he refused to consult

one. All these things have happened.

And they will go on happening until

we face the situation with the bold—

ness of common sense. ‘





ASTHMA AND TUBERCULOSIS.





 





I am bothered with difficulty of

breathing. Have had asthma since I

was small. Is there any danger of tu-

berculosis when one has asthma? The

%oc£or told me I had weak lungs.—





Asthma is not primarily a disease

of the lungs. The fault lies in the

nervous system. It shows its effect

by causing spasms of the bronchioles

and eventually the wearing effect on

the lungs makes damage. But it does

not lead to tuberculosis and rarely

does an asthmatic become tuberculous.





NEURITIS.





 





What is the cause of neuritis? Can

i; liqexéured? What is the remedy?—





Neuritis is a term used. to indicate

inflammation of a nerve. It may be

due to injury, exposure to cold, over—

activity, strain. or the result of a

wasting disease. It is difficult to treat.

Most cases can be cured by removing

the cause and applying proper reme-

dies. The remedy depends upon the

cause and the peculiarities of the pa-

tient.

great white face gave the effect of

bleached bloodless bulk. “I don’t see

how she stands him,” Dirk thought.

Husband and wife seemed to be on

excused himself and took himself off

with a word about being tired, and

seeing them in the morning.

She huddled back in her chair, limp.

She looked a little haggard and older,

somehow. “My marriage is a mess, of

“Just “what do you want me to do,

Paula?” ' ' .



She was eager again, vitally con-

cerned in him. It’s all so ridiculous.

All these men' whose incomes are

thirty—forty—sixty—a hundred thou-

sand a year usually haven’t any"'qual-

ities, really, that the five-thousand—a-

year man hasn’t. The doctor who sent

Theodore a bill for four thousand dol-

lars when each of my babies was born

didn’t do a thing that a country doctor

with 'a Ford wouldn’t do. But he knew

he could get it and he asked it. Some-

body has to get the fifty-thousand-dol-

lar salaries—some advertising man, or

bond salesman or—why, look at Phil

Emery! He. probably couldn’t sell a

yard of pink ribbon to a schoolgirl if

he had to. Look at Theodore! He

just sits and blinks and says nothing.

But when the time comes he doubles

up his fat white fist and mumbles,

‘Ten million,’ or ‘Fifteen ,million,’ and

that settles it.”



Dirk laughed to hide.,his own little

mounting sensation of excitement. “It

isn’t quite as simple as that, I imagine.

There’s more to it than meets the

eye.”





‘Q‘here isn’t! I tell you I know the

whole crowd of them. I’ve been

brought up with this moneyed pack all

my life, haven’t 1? Pork pabkers and

wheat grabbers and peddlers of gas

and electric light and dry goods.

Grandfather’s the only one of the crowd

that I respect. He has stayed the

same. They can’t fool him. He knows

he just happened to go into wholesale

beef and pork when wholesale beef

and pork was a new game in Chicago.

Now look at him!”





Paula stood up. “If you don’t know

I’ll tell you. Now is when. I’ve got

Grandfather and Dad and Theodore to

work with. You can go on being an

architect if you want to. . It’s a fine

profession. But unless you’re a gen-

ius where’ll it get you! Go in with

them, and Dirk, in five years—”



“What!” They were both standing,

he relaxed but stimulated.



“Try it and see what, will you? Will

you, Dirk?” '



“I don’t know, Paula. I should say

my mother wouldn’t think much of it.”



“What does she know! Oh, I don’t

mean that she isn’t a fine, wonderful

person. She is. I love her. But suc-'

cess! She thinks success is another

acre of asparagus or cabbage; or a

new stove in the kitchen now that

English tailor on’ Michigan Boulevard.

But Peel was so. damned expensive.

Perhaps next time . '. .



"As he lay in the soft ,bed with the

coverlet over him he thought, “Now

what’s her lit-tie game!”



He awoke' at eight, enormously hun—

gry. ’ He wondered, uneasily, just how





he was going to get his breakfast. She '





had said his breakfast would be

brought to his room.‘ He stretched

luxuriouslyLSprang up, turned on his

bath" water, bathed. When he emerged

in dressing gown and slippers his

breakfast tray had been brought him

mysteriously and its centents lay ap-

petizingly on a' little portable table.

There were flocks of small covered

dishes and a charming individual cof-

fee service. The morning papers, fold-

ed and virgin, lay next this. A little

note from Paula: “Would you like to

take a walk at about half-past nine?

Stroll down to the stables. I want to

show you my new horse.”



The distance from the house to the

stables was actually quite a brisk little

walk in itself. Paula, in riding clothes,

was waiting for him. She looked boy~

ish and young standing beside the

sturdy bulk of Pat, the head stable-

man. She wore tan whipcord breech—

es, a coat of darker stuff, a little round

felt hat whose brim curved away from

her face.





She greeted him. “I’ve been out





two hours. Had my ride.”

“‘I hate people who tell you, first

thing in the morning, that they’ve





been out two hours.”



“If that’s the kind of mood you’re

in We won’t show him the horse, will

we, Pat?”



Pat thought they would. Pat showed

him the new saddle mare as a mother

exhibits her latest offspring, tenderly,

proudly. “Look at her back,” said

Pat. “That’s. the way you tell a

horse, sir. By the length of this here

line. Lookut it! There’s a picture for

you, now!”



Paula looked at Dirk.

don’t you?”



“I used to ride the old nags, bare

back, on the farm.”



“You’ll have to learn.

him, won't we, Pat?”



Pat surveyed Dirk’s lean,

figure. “Easy.”



“Oh, say!" protested Dirk.



“Then I’ll have some one to ride

with me. Theodore never rides. He

neVer takes any sort of exercise. Sits

in that great fat car of his.”



They went into the coach house, a

great airy white-washed place with

glittering harness and spurs and

bridles like jewels in glass cases.

This cutraway view shows how the blue



flame of the Florence goes straight to the

cooking. The heat is focused just where you

want it for quick cooking.

‘-‘/"





Focused Heat makes the Florence

the cook stove with the hot flame





ERE‘S an oil range that doesn‘t throw its flame



out in all directions—scattering its heat over the

kitchen. The Florence is built on the principle of focused

heat-it sends its flame, intense and concentrated,

right to the bottom of the pot where it is needed.





That feature of the Florence is important all the

year round because it makes your cooking quicker,

better, cheaper. And it’s doubly important in the hot

months because it makes your kitchen a cooler place to

work in, and your cooking an easier job for you.





You’ll be proud of it in your kitchen





The minute you see this handsome stove you admire it

and want it in your kitchen. Its sturdy, well proporr

tioned black frame and its gleaming blue or gray

enamel make the Florence the range that belongs in

a beautifully equipped kitchen.





And the Florence is fully competent for any cooking





or baking or roasting you ever have. For the quick,

easy cooking of fresh vegetables, for the long simmerr

ing cooking of cereals, for canning, for preserving——

the Florence is the stove for every meal every day,

every season of the year.





It is easy to operate the Florence. Just a simple

turning ofa lever, and your flame is burning at any

degree of heat you require. No mussy wicks to trim,

no priming, no difliculty in lighting or extinguishing

the flame. The Florence Leveler on each leg of the

stove enables you to set the stove level if the floor is

uneven; and a spirit level attached to the feed pipe

shows when the adjustment is correct.



And it costs less to cook with the Florence. The heat

is not wasted, because the flame is directed right where

its job is. This conserves fuel, and you need less oil.



The Florence delivers to the cooking more heat in

a given time from a gallon of kerosene than any other

oil range.





 





 





 





The even completes the stove





The Florence portable oven is as excellent as the

stove. When you wish to bake or roast, simply

put it on the stove, and you have a highly

perfected oven for your needs. Thousands of

women say that the Florence oven is the best

they have ever used.





Go to your dealer, and convince yourself that

this is the stove you have been looking for.

horse on Chicago’s boulevards raised

a laugh. The sight Of a shining





brougham with two sleek chestnuts





driving down Michigan Avenue would

have set that ,street to staring and

sniggering as a Roman chariot drawn

by zebras might have done. Yet here

was such a brougham, glittering, spot-

less. Here was a smart cream surrey

Tarsus





 

 





Our Weekly Sermon—By N. A. Mchme





F recent years there has been a



tendency to discount Saul of



Tarsus. Many writers have said

that Jesus taught the way of life sim-

ply, but Paul made the Christian relig-

ion too theological, too abstruse. \His

teachings in regard to women, for in-

stance, do not _go well with bobbed

hair, short skirts and woman suffrage.

I saw a while ago an article by a Jap-

anese woman Christian, who‘ said she

liked everything in Christianity except

what Paul said about women “keeping

silence in the churches.” If I remem-

ber aright, however, he said he did

not speak by inspiration, when he talk-

ed about women! Most modern wom-

en will agree that he did not.



But there had to be someone who

would start the teachings of Christ

a—going. The world was nearly as full

Of isms then as it

is now. The chief

of these was ag-

nosticism, a n d

Paul had to show

that Christianity

was a dynamic

of love, not a mere

philosophy. H 9

had to show that

the new faith was

adaptable to all Sorts and conditions

of men, that it was as good for Jews

as Gentiles, and as good for Gentiles

as Jews. He was not the only one

who did this, of course. There were





 





.Peter and Philip and Timothy.





HE books of many of these remain



to us, though not in the New

Testament. All this was done because

they believed heart and soul in the

teachings of the risen Christ. But the

chief of all these was the man Saul,

later iknown as Paul. NO one served

as intensely as he did, traveled as con-

stantly, devoted himself as continuous-

ly and unselfishly as did this strenu-

ous son of Jewish aristocracy. Well

could he say at the close Of life, “I

have fought a good light.” In his let—

ter to the Corinthians he could write,

“Of the Jews, five times received I

forty stripes save one, thrice was I

beaten with rods, once was I stoned,

thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night

and a day have I been in the deep; in

journeyings often, in perils Of waters,

in perils of robbers, in perils by mine

own countrymen, in perils by the

heathen, in perils in the city, in perils

in the wilderness, in perils in the sea,

in perils among false brethren; in

weariness and painfulness, in watch—

ings often, in hunger and thirst, in

fastings often, in cold and nakedness.”

If the critics of Paul will undergo the

like of this for their faith, they could

write their censure Of him with better

grace.



That something happened to Paul,

is evident to all who study his life. He

became a radically changed man. Lord

Lyttleton, in 1746, wrote a treatise on

“The Conversion of Paul," to prove

that it was genuine. Lyttleton lived

in a. skeptical age, and he worked out

this study of Paul’s conversion for his





own satisfaction Paulbegan at‘o'nce.





 





to talk Christ, in public. All the train-

ing he had received as a Pharisee now

came into play, as a defender of the

Christ. This was a bold and strange

thing to do, from one standpoint. How

could ‘he do that, and be consistent?

Traveling in exactly the Opposite di-

rection. That is what it means, just

as repent means to change your mind.





HE had powerfully changed his



.mind. He had decided to “about

face.” Not being a man who worked

by halves, he got into action as rap~

idly as he could.



“Proving that this is the Christ.”

Preaching differs in different times,

because it must differ. VV’e do not

preach Christ from the same. angle

now, that Paul did, for a very good

reason. In preaching to Jews, he took

the Old Testament and argued from

its prophecies that Jesus of Galilee

was the long promised Messiah. Many

Jews believed it, and many did not.

Of course, all well~informed Jews

knew the Old Testament well, much

better, I should say, than the average

American child knows American his-

tory. Hence there was a broad back-

ground on which to build. When it

came to the Gentiles, he spoke in

much the same way, but showing also

that all nations, in addition to Jews,

were to be admitted to the Christian

fellowship. He would, of course, en-

large on the resurrection, which he



' could prove by the testimony of eye

witnesses. This was the clinching ar-

gument of the Deity of the Lord. If

a man once became convinced that He

did actually rise from the dead, he

was pretty “certain to accept Christ as

Divine, and to become a follower. This

held for both Jews and Gentiles. Nat-

urally, many refused the testimony of

Christ’s resurrection and would not

become Christians.





Today, as said before, we do not do

it just this way. It would not fit. You

do not have to prove that Christ is the

world’s Savior. The vast majority of

Gentiles believe it, already. They have

no fault to find with the Christ. What

is necessary now is, to get folk to ac-

tually live up to what they believe. It

is not knowledge that is wanting, it is

religious conviction, or “awakening,”

as our fathers would have phrased it.

Of course, there is much ignorance

still, as to what it means to be a fol-

lower of Christ. Many folk think the

churches demand of them an assent



‘to impossible creeds, and. some of

them do. But after all, it is mainly

the want of spiritual sight and hear-

ing, that keeps people from becoming

Christians. In other words, the aver—

age person knows how to go straight,

to do right, to become a Christian. The

point is, to get him to do it.

A Moral Obllgatio ' -----





 

       





Gwe C/zz’la’ren a Certain Amount? of Want to Do Dun'ng szezr‘ Vacation





UMMER is coming at last! We

who are living in the country, out

close to nature— ‘where greener





' grows the meadows and bluer grows





the sky,” know itfor several reasons.



The robins have been interested in

the Better Homes Campaign for some

time past. Some of them prefer bits

of feathers that the hens threw away

last moulting time; others prefer the

horse hairs that Dobbin lost when his

tail was “done up” in muddy March.



These are busy house cleaning,

chick raising days for women. 'Néarly

every mistress has from two to six

old “clucks” that have been jailed for

three days and had the cold water ap-

plication—but still are determined to

settle down and raise a. big family.



And———oh, yes! school will soon be

out. That first busy week of vacation

when the children make more noise

than a band of Kickapoos is nearly

upon us.





Speaking about vacation, have you

any particular plans in View this va-

cation? It’s a. wonderful outburst for

the kiddies—but do you earnestly think

they should romp and play all sum-

mer Without a. responsibility in the

world, as some children do?



They have washed their teeth ju—

diciously through the school term to

get the gold stars after their names

on the big chart; they have kept their

fingernails. neck and ears immaculate;

they have drunk a quart of milk each

day for ever so long; their pompa—

dours and bobs have been a. source of

pride for the last nine months—how

about the next three months?





Are we doing our duty during vaca-

tion time by letting the children slump

into lazy negligent habits? Should we

let them backslide in the good lessons

and ideals which have been placed

before them in the past school year?



There isn’t a woman in the country,

irrespective of her present dignity,

whose harum scarem pranks of vaca—

tion time didn’t nearly coagulate her

mother’s heart.





Undoubtedly there will be many de-

licious mud pies—and cookies with

daisy petals for icing, turned out this

summer; there will be little tea. part-

ies under the big crabapple tree, flow-

er-picking excursions and myriads of

jubilant revelries.





This is as it should be and as we

desire it to be. But vacation time is

really an excellent opportunity to

break children “into the harness.”

They should be taught early in life to

give and take—that they must not

take much out of life and give nothing

in return.



The really bad boys and giils we

have known are those who have had

nothing to do, too much idle time at

their command.



On the farm, there are many easy

odd jobs that children can do to help

mother—keeping the baby chicks fed

and watered, bringing wood, gathering

eggs, etc. The older girls can be

taught to make simple cakes, muffins

and puddings; the young lads can as-

sume a. responsible end of the garden-

ing and caring for the flowers.



In turn, mother can arrange her

work to have time with her children——

playin, hiking and reading—the

things she has always wanted to do

but could never find thetime. Chil-

dren will work twice as willingly and

ardently if mother can play with them

for half an hour.



Have a working schedule for each

child and see that he carries it out.

Do not ask anything which requires





4143...; erW-N‘ .; « ‘





By Hazel B. Girardv





“forever” to accomplish—have the

bulk of the work come in the morning

to eradicate the dread of it hanging on

their shoulders throughout the day.

WOrk with them at first and teach

them to do things right, and as ncatly

as possible.



Do not make them work all the time

—nor allow them to play all the time.

Figure on the desirableihappy medium

—your own moral obligation.





 





'sronv OF MY YEAR’S FOOD

WORK.





ON May 21, 1924, a. number of girls

met at the schoolhouse and organ-

ized a food study club.



We have learned a great many

things about foods and their prepara-

tion that we never would have known

without the club work.



One of our most- interesting meet-

ings we had was at the home of Mrs.

Currie, where we made our food

charts. We cut out pictures of foods,

illustrated in magazines, then we sep-

arated them into three classes, body

regulating, body building and energy

yielding foods. Then we pasted the

pictures on to the proper charts and

sent them to the county fair. I made

a. chart of energy-yielding foods.



We are planning on going to Camp

Shaw next August and having a good

time with the girls from other clubs.



I have never been sorry I joined the

club, for I enjoyed the work very

much and now I think I can plan and

cook a. good meal as well as mother.

——Agnes Grimes, Marquette County.





MEND DUDS MONDAY, WASH ’EM

TUESDAY.





HEY’RE forever tampering with



well established traditions, those

home economics specialists, and now

comes the suggestion from the Ohio

State University that housewives

might even go so far as to do their

washing on Tuesday, instead of Men-

day.



But the main idea, these specialists

explain, is that housewives ought not

to let tradition and habit interfere

with any system that makes for effi-

ciency. “System in housework” gives

the housewife more time to live.





Family living is a twenty-four-houra





procedure. Even though the routine





duties are restricted to the working





—- day, emergency calls may come at any





hour of the night or day. And when

a. mother has been up half the night

nursing a sick child, of course she is

not able to follow the regular routine





of work, but things will go better if.





she has a. plan.

Some women find it useful to plan





a schedule of work, and to Hire up to .





that schedule. That often prevents

the worry and irritation inevitable

when a. housewife tries to do a ddzen

things at once, and then has to indulge

in procrastination.



By planning a definite schedule farm

women are discovering they can reg-

ulate the day, with time to do the

mending and the work in the garden.

Some have even found it to their ad-

vantage to break the time-honored cus—

tom of washing on Monday. They use

that day, traditionally a blue one, to

\sort and mend clothes and prepare for

an early wash the next morning.





 





TESTED RECIPES FOR SPRING.

cut to form a rose.





Mayonnaise





She who would step along to success

needs a shoe straight on the inner

border; broad and low of heel; flex-

ible and not too thin of sole; and low,





to allow free circulation and play of





the foot and ankle muscles.

of young corn,” said Jim Crow.



At this great news every member

of the Crow family stood at attention

in the old oak tree where they were

holding their Crow Conference. “Caw!

Caw! Caw!” (It really sounded more

like “Corn! Corn! Cornl”) said every

member of that Black Crow family.'

"Tell us where that young corn is,

Jim Crow. Tell us.”



Now young Jim Crow knew he

should not tell where this cornfield‘

because only the day before

when he visited the field he saw an

old woman hoeing the corn. Some-

thing told Jim Crow, Jr., that he

shouldn’t take the corn from the old

woman’s corn field. But on this day

he was very hungry and he knew all

his brother and sister Crows were

hungry, too, and he wanted to be the

Wise‘detective in telling his brother

and sister Crows about his big find.

Every Crow Was Busy Hunting For

the Sprouted Corn.





woods over there,” said young Jim1

Crow,modding with his black head to-

ward the north.



“Caw! Caw! Caw!” called out the

whole Crow family and they flew from

the oak tree straight for the old wom—:

an’s corn field. .

Now, someone had been listening to

the naughty young Jim Crow tell the

secret of Where the 01d woman’s corn

field was, and this “someone” was the

Merry Little VVestwind, and it felt

very sorry for the old woman.



“What can I do to help the old

woman?” whispered Merry Little

VVestwind to itself. “I’ll hop over that

way and see what I can do.”



Every member of the Crow family

was so eager to be the first one to get

the young blades of corn and they

were not a bit afraid if it was an old

woman’s corn field.



So in a. very short while every Crow

was very busy searching for the ten-

derest sprouted grains.



Now, the old woman had thought

the Crows might come for her corn.

She had built a big scarecrow and

dressed it in the ugliest looking old

clothes, but it stood there silently, so

silently that not even one member

of the Crow family saw it as they

searched for the young corn.



But now is where. the Merry Little

Westwind did its part. It blew and it

blew, stronger than it ever blew be-

fore. Clatter, clatter, went the tin

cans; flutter, flutter Went the lose

clothing; and ding, dong went the lit-

tle bell 0n the scarecrow.



Every one of Young Jim Crow’s

brothers and sisters were so frighten-

ed, and Jim Crow was, too, that they

never looked to see what the noise

was all about, but flew away and nev—

er dared come back to the old woman’s

corn field. All because the Merry Lit-

old woman hoeing corn. Something

OW is a. good time to be thinks

ing about getting rid of the lice

’ which may have been developing

in the poultry flock during the close,

confinement of the long winter months”

While it may be hoped that most flocks

were treated in the fall before going

into winter 'quarters, (yet undoubtedly

many [were not, and may be liberally

infested at this time.





To prevent loss and irritation during

the summer it is well to take advan-

tage of the warm days of spring to dip

the birds, since this has proven the

most completely effective method of

control for lice.





ing sodium fluoride in lukewarm Water

at the rate of one ounce of the powder

to one gallon of water. A galvanized

iron tub holding about eight gallons

of dip is a convenient receptacle. All

birds, including males, should be treat-

ed. In dipping with one hand» hold the





bird with wings over the back, using

the other hand to hold the legs until

the bird is completely immersed with

the exception of the head. The hold

on the legs may now be released and

the hand used to ruffle the feathers to

enable the dip to penetrate. Then

grasp the head and beak so that the

finger and thumb close the nostrils,

and duck the head. Lift the bird from

the dip, allow to drain for “a. few sec-

onds, squeezing excess liquid from the

feathens, then release. Keep the dip

agitated to maintain suspension of the

fluoride in the water. Dip only on

warm days, and stop in time to allow

all birds to dry before going to roost.



Where hens are used for hatching

eggs, it is important to keep them

free from lice,'since young chicks fre-

quently suffer severe injury from con-

tact with a. lousy mother. Setting hens

must not be dipped, of course, but

should be treated with sodium fluor-

ide by the pinch method, as follows:

A pinch of the powder, as much as can

be held between thumb and forefinger,

is placed in the feathers next to the

sink at the following points—one on

the back of the head and neck, one on

the back between the Wings, one at

upper base of tail, one just below the

vent, One on either thigh, one on eith-

er side of the breast, and one on each

wing. The powder should be distrib-

uted as much as possible over the skin

with the fingers. Do not dust setting

hens by sprinkling or shaking, as an

excess of powder may injure the sub-

sequent hatch.





Sprinfi or early summer is also the

time to treat for roost mites, those

tiny gray or reddish spider-like para-

sites which live and breed in the

cracks of roosts, floor, walls, and drop-

ping boards, and suck the blood from

the birds at night. These mites, if

allowed to gain a foothold, may in-

crease tremendously during hot weath—





‘ er, and the time to check them is ear-

4 ly in the season.





Their, control requires an entirely

and is aimed to destroy all. stages of

the mites, including the eggs, in “their

natural hiding and breeding places in

cracks and crevices in the house.



A rather coarse, , driving spray of

carbolineum (wood4preserver) and ker-





osene, equal parts, applied thoroughly “

«to an interior parts of the house, es-

pecially roosts, dropping boards and





nest boxes, is the best control. "Birds

should be kept away from the house

while it is being sprayed, and the

spray should be well dried into the

wood before they are allowed to re-

turn.





 





.THE EGG LAYING CONTEST.





 





RODUCTION in' the contest drop-

ped a little in the past week, due

to increasing broodiness in the heavy

breeds. The Leghorn group led with

a. 63.1 per cent production for the

week. The Reds follow with a. 58.5

per cent production. The Rocks had

a. 54.7 per cent production.



The contest as a whole is still der

by the West Neck Poultry Farm Reds

which have a. production of 1,321 eggs.

The Royal Hatchery Leghorng, come

next with 1,286 eggs. The Royal—

next with 1,286 eggs. The Leghorns

belonging to the St. Johns, Poultry

Farm, of Missouri, are in third place,

having laid 1,226 eggs. Then come the





Barred Rocks belonging to F. E. Eagle, .





which have laid 1,192 eggs. They are

closely followed by the Leghorns be-

longing to J. P. Gasson, of Ohio, with

1,185 eggs.



At the close of the six months peri-

od the Barred Rock hen No. 3 in the

pen 0 fthe Winter Egg Farm leads

with a production of 162 eggs for the

half year. A bird in the West Neck

Farm’s pen of Reds has produced 151

eggs. The highest Leghorn hen has

110 eggs in her count for the half

year. The individual hens are making

much better records this year than

last. The high hen last year produc-

ed Only 140 eggs in the six months, so

it looks as if several three—hundred-

egg hens would show when this con-

test closes.





 





GYPSUM FOR POULTRY DISEASES.





 





YPSUM is far superior to lime to



use in the poultry house. Lime

dust is an irritant, causing a. rawness

of the mucous membrane, making the

poultry more, subject to disease, while

gypsum is palliative, disinfecting, and

destroys the germs of disease. If scat-

tered on the droppings it prevents the

escape of ammonia, and if dusted in

the poultry house it will keep the

fowls’ breathing apapratus in healthy

condition.



Recently gypsum was tried out at

my request and under my observation

in the prevailing ‘ poultry. disease.

About two-thirds of the flock had died

of the disease or were killed because

Subsequentiy

more applications were made. While

I will not recommend gypsum as a





. sure cure, none of the chickens died





after the second day, and after—two

weeks, the entire flockwas ”perfectly

healthy and has remained so since.

Gypsum is. now being used in the

brooding house where two hundred

young chicks are kept, and thus far

none have died and all are well and

thrifty. These demonstrations have

convinced me, and the poultry man in

charge of the chickens, that gypsum





is a wonderful disinfectant having





marked curative qualities.





 





FEATH E‘R EATING.





 





I have a few hens that are picking

the feathers from other hens, and con-

tinue to pick and eat until they eat

away the flesh and let out the intes-

tines if left alone. They have some

grit and oyster shells. I have fed bar-

ley, oats, wheat, and some bran and

middlings, also some boned beans.

What is the cause of this trouble and

what shall I do to prevent it?—I. S.





Feather eating and depraved appe~

tite among hens is due to idleness in

the winter laying quarters and a crav-

ing for something that they do not get

in their ration. Try hanging a piece

of beef in the house Where they'can

peck at it. Give beef scrap in the ra-

tion, using about ten per cent in the

dry mash. Feed the hens plenty of

sour milk. Isolate any birds that are

seen to? pull feathers, as the habit

may spread rapidly to other members

of the flock.





As soon as the weather is at all suit-

able give the birds plenty of range so

they will get out and scratch and be-

come interested in other things. Most

of the complaints of feather pulling

come from town flocks where the

range is very small, or from farm

flocks during the winter. The busy

hen on the range has little time to

acquire bad habits like feather pulling.





PREVENTING SIMPLE COLDSh





 





Some of our hens seem to have a

cold. They sneeze and can hardly

breathe. We also have 300 baby

chicks and I am afraid that they will

catch it, too—M. M.





Simple colds can be cured by indi-

vidual treatment. Remove the mucous

from the nostrils by pressing them

with absorbent tissue paper. Then in-

ject strong commercial coal tar disin-

fectant or a deep red solution of potas-

sium permanganate with a medicine

dropper. This will often dry up a

cold. Sometimes several treatments

are necessary.



To protect the chicks from colds,

keep the brooder house as free as pos-

sible from dust and dirt. Hot brooder

stoves soon turn a lot of the dirt into

fine dust and this is kicked into the

air by the scratchingbt‘ the birds and

may cause clogged nostrils and res-

piratory infections.



As soon as the chicks are through

with the brooder, teach them to roost.

Then they do not crowd together in

the corners, of the houses and become.

overheated. Growing chicks that are

crowded each night may develop the

summer colds which retard their

growth and may develop into roup in

the fall. Spray the roosts with disin-

fectant, or paint them with the old

engine oil from a crank case. This

kills mites. I believe that growing

stock which are feeding their good

red blood to mites are always the most

susceptible to colds.





 





POSSIBLY BLACKH EAD.





 





Please tell me why my turkeys get

yellow diarrhea, and how to cure it.

They always die so I would like a

The turkey losses ma}r be due to

value. I would advise sending to the

. FORCING THE MOULT.





 





On account of bad luck in raising 5





chicks this year, I would like to force

my hens into a moult and get them





back to laying by November at the r

you please advise me.





latest. Will

when and how to go about lt?~—Mrs.'

E. F. P.





You might force some of the hens

into a moult by discontinuing the egg.

mash and feeding only hard grain and

providing plenty of range. Early next

fall you might return the flock to egg

producing rations and, obtain a fair

yield. However, I do not think this

is advisable. It is rather against na-

ture’s plan and poultrymen do not gen-

erally like to try and control the

moult. It is also difficult to obtain a

heavy fall and winter egg yield from

hens as they need some rest after the

strain of the previous year’s produc-

tion.





I think the best results come from

giving the hens normal summer care

with an effort to keep them laying as

late in the fall as possible. The late

moulting hens can be marked for

breeders as they are apt to be the best

layers. I know of no plan of feeding

whereby the old' hens can be allowed

to rest during the summer, followed

by a sure guarantee of heavy winter

egg production. So much depends on

the individuality of the hens.





SOFT SHELLED GOOSE EGGS.





 





Can you give me any information

regarding a remedy, for soft-shelled

geese eggs?—J. W. W.





W'hen fowls have plenty of oytser

shells and yet produce soft shelled

eggs, it is due to an over-fat condition

or the inability of the egg organs to

manufacture the shell fast enough. In

such cases I know of nothing that can

be done except to give the birds their

normal ration and let them range as

much as possible. When the weather

is better and the geese can obtain

more of their natural food they may

produce eggs with firm shells. If they

are fat and eating plenty of corn, try

reducing the corn and give them oats

as a grain feed. Geese Will also han-

dle ground grain much better than

whole grains because of the nature of

the digestive tract.





POSSIBLY TUBERCULOSIS.





 





Some of my hens go lame, others

seem stiff, can hardly walk. Have lost

several during the winter. After they

die their combs look red. Some of

them lose in weight, while others seem

fat. VV'ould the eggs from the healthy

birds be safe to use? Is there any

cure for this disease ?~Mrs. S. B. .



Lameness and stiffness of the legs

may be caused by rheumatism, due to

exposure or damp litter. Lameness

and rapid emaciation are signs of tu-

berculosis. A postmortem should be

performed on such birds that die, to

note the condition of the internal or-

gans, especially the liver._ The spots

on the. liver are also a sign of tuber-

culosis, although a laboratory exam-

ination is considered necessary by au-

thorities in order to definitely determ-

ine the presence or absence of the

disease. I



If the mortality rate in the flock has

not been very high, and the remaining

birds are apparently healthy and vig-

orous, their eggs are probably suitable

for hatching. This can only be de-

termined by a personal inspection of

the birds to find out their condition.





 





MICHIGAN farmers were generally

well pleased in the action of the

legislature in failing to ratify the pro-

posed amendment to the Federal Con-

stitution, which, if ratified by thirty—

six states. would have permitted con-

gress to regulate the employment of

all persons up to eighteen years of age.

We have been having wonderful

spring weather the' last two weeks,

but yesterday it became very windy

and colder.

I tell you, the boys in our school are

regular pests. They pelt us girls with

snawballs, and they have_pieces of

elastic with which they shoot paper

wads, and sometimes they shoot them

into somebody’s ear or eye. The teach-

er made them stay in after school

many times to pick up the wads. She

said that she has good use for the

elastics so she took them away from

them.

Dear Uncle Frank: - _ ,.



I am sorry I did not Write before

and thank you for the Golden Circle

pin you sent me. I think the gold cir-

cle improves the looks of the pin a

great deal and I shall be proud to

wear it. I had not thought that you

would find my dreams interesting

enough to. call for your attention.



We have been discussing many

things these past few weeks, but all

of them seem rather mild. They‘were

interesting topics but they set me to

wondering what the boys and girls

would think if I suggested discussing

crime, or rather, “What to do with

criminals.” Four young men from

Grand Rapids, all under twenty, were

sent up for life for killing a man a

few weeks ago, and then called the

judge hard-hearted after pleading

guilty to eighty smaller crimes, all of

which led up to the murder. What do

you think?



Ann, why didn’t you sign your last

name; everyone here gave me credit

for your letter. I am Ann R. M.



Crime is a very important question

but of more importance than crime

are the conditions which cause young

folks to become criminals. These





would be interesting things to discuss.





 





o JOKE CONTEST.





T seems ages since we have had a

joke contest. It really took a re—

quest for another that made me re-





‘member that we had had one before.





We will give the usual ten prizes:

two fountain pens, three dictionaries,

and five knives, to thb ten boys or





girls who will send three jokes that '





are really funny. Think of the jokes

you have heard, and ask your folks to

tell you the best they can remember,

pick out the three best ones and send

them in.



Write your name and address in the

upper left hand corner of the paper,

and please put M. C. after your name

if you are a. Merry Circler. All not

Merry Circlers who send in good jokes





;will get M. C. buttons and cards.





--B-A-B-Y C-H-l-X--3





This contest closes May 29. So be

sure to send your contest papers to

Uncle Frank, Michigan Farmer, De-

troit, Mich., in due time.





PUZZLE WINNERS.

been easy, as so many got it cor-

rect. Perhaps everybody has been

along now will be easy.



In picking the prize winners, we

mixed all the correct puzzle answers

and then picked out ten which were

made the winners. The result of the

OLSTEIN breeders of Michigan,



headed by the State Holstein As-



sociation, will entertain in Grand

Rapids on June 1-4. The'guests will

include members of the Holstein-Fries-

ian AssociatiOn of America, coming

from practically every state in the Un-

ion. Of course, Michigan breeders

will be out in full force.





The occasion is the fortieth annual

convention of the Holstein—Friesian

Association of America. Following

the Convention occurs the sixth na-

tional Holstein sale.





Michigan has not entertained the

convention since 1916, when it was

held in Detroit. Last year’s meeting

was in Richmond, Virginia. It is a.

great honor to act as host to this an-

nual gathering. Michigan breeders

won the opportunity only after a. spir-

ited contest on the floor of the past

two conventions.





The purpose of the .annual conven-

tion is, of course, to conduct the busi-

ness of the association, which is the

largest single breed organization in

the world.





The sale held in connection with the

convention is more in the nature of

an educational exhibit than of a public

auction. Only the best representatives

of this year’s number, sixty-one‘ head,

is far smaller than usually offered.

The purpose of the management in

limiting the number was to insure the

quality of the sale, for it has thus

been impossible to set up high en-

trance requirements and to reject only

the animals that rate high for indi—

viduality. Dairymen and breeders who

attend this Sale will have an opportu-

nity to see the pick of eleven states.

Five head from California are already

here.



Michigan’s quota of nine head was

selected by D. D. Aitken, ‘of Flint, vet-

eran Holstein breeder and former pres-

ident of the Holstein-Friesian Associ-

ation of America. These nine which

will carry the Michigan standard

through the sale in competition with

the out-of-state sisters are given be-

low, together with the breeders who

were willing to uphold the high honor

of Michigan Holsteins by consigning

the ones it hurts to let go:



1. Blacres Sesame Korndyke, a four;

year—old consigned by The Detroit

Creamery farms of Mt. Clemens, has

a record of 37.92 lbs. of butter in sev-

en days, and 545.7 lbs. of milk. This

cow also has a thirty—day record of

148.9 lbs. butter, and 2,434.2 lbs. milk.



2. Bessie Ormsby Veeman, consigned

by the same company, is a seven-year-

old cow with a record of 30.4 lbs. of

butter, and 547.2 lbs. milk for seven

and 664.5 lbs. milk. . ‘



3. Florence Veeman Pontiac, the

599.1 lbs. milk. A similar record mode

at three years of age, was 32.57 lbs.

butter, and 567.9 lbs. milk.



4. George Fisher, of Plymouth, con-

tributes Lady Boon Jewel Fayne, a.

six-year-old with a seven~day record

of 35.09 lbs. butter, and 717.7 lbs..of

milk. At four years this cow in seven

days produced 31.3 lbs._ butter and

616.8 lbs. milk. She alsohas a. C. T.

A. record for one year of 625.7 lbs.

of butter and 14,530 lbs. milk.



5. Emma Houwtje Beauty,’from a

1,000-lb. dam, is a four-year-old con-

signed by J. F. Berkheimer, of Homer.

Her 365-day record consists of 937.1

lbs. of milk, and 23,8188 lbs. milk.



6. Lakewood Maplecrest Fly, a six-

year—old from the Lakewood Farms of

Battle Creek, has a seven-day record

of 30.83 lbs. butter, and 612.8 lbs. of

milk This cow also has a. C. T. A.

record at five years of age of 650 lbs.

butter, and 17,130 lbs. milk. ,



7. Loland Betty Johan. From the

herd of J. F. Bowlby, of Ovid, is a.

four-year—old with. a seven-day record

of 29.97 lbs. of butter and 522.8 lbs.

of milk. At two years this cow had a.

C. T. A. record of 624.1 lbs. butter and

12,618 lbs. milk, and at three years

onfiakof 767.1 lbs butter, and 14,679 lbs.

m .





8. Starlight Veeman Hengerceld

comes from the herd of John C. Buth,

of Grand Rapids, and has a. seven-day

record at four years of 28.01 lbs. of

butter and 480.5 lbs. milk. This cow

also has a C. T. A. record of 694.8 lbs.

butter and 18,377 lbs. milk.



9.‘ Bess Colantha Pabst Ormsby 3rd,

at two—year—old daughter, 36 lbs. butter

and 992 lbs. milk, daughter of a. 1,200-

lb. cow, is the property of R. D. Buth,

of Comstock Park.





Such Holsteins with their records and

breeding, and in calf to the best bulls





‘ of Our state, will do Michigan proud.





The C. 'T. A. records are very satis-

factory when you reflect that a C. T.

A. record shows what a cow has done





under ordinary dairy practice in her _





working clothes. It does not neces-

sarily show her best production as it

may not contain the best portion of

her lactation period; it merely shows

the production for the association year

observed.





Railroad Rates to Grand Rapids.



When you buy your ticket to Grand

Rapids, ask for a “Certificate.” If

sufficient numbers of certificates are

turned in, then return fare will be

one-half the usual rate. So please get

a. certificate, even if you yourself do

not plan on using it to apply on return

trip; it will help others.

Your corn may need rain this sum-

Think how youll enjoy a good

bin, or gone to market at early

Threshermen.





Maybe you’ll be lucky and get

“threshed” early, but if you have

your own thresher, you’re bound

to beat the rain.

KENT COUNTY GUERNSEY’BREED-

ERS TO SHOW AT FAIR.





 





AT a recent meeting of the direct-

ors of the Kent County Guernsey

Breeders’ Association, it was de-

cided to enter a county herd at the

West Michigan StateFair, September

7 to 12.



An excellent showing has always

been made at this fair by local herds,

but scattered all- over the county are

breeders who have a few pure’breds

but who don’t feel that they can spend

the time to fit and show them. The

best of these animals will be selected

early in the summer. The owners will

fit them and at the fair they will be

shown by some one person.



The idea is to get the smaller breed-

er interested in the exhibiting of cat-

tle and in studying type to create more

interest in the breed. W. D. Burring-

ton, field man for the state association,

will make the selection of the cattle.

Leo Riggs is president and Franklin

Wallin secretaryitreasurer of the local

association.





PREPARE FOR FIGHT ON TARIFFS

AFFECTING DAIRYMEN





 





T an executive meeting of the



American Dairy Federation in

Washington, April 29, C. W. Holman,

secretary National Milk Producers

Federation, spoke on the vegetable oil

tariff. The question was discussed as

to whether there shall be co—operation

with other groups in regard to hear—

ings on the vegetable oil‘iariff, and

as to whether to carry on the fight in

the courts if the Tariff Commission

decides adversely. It was recognized

that there is to be a general revision

of revenue legislation by the next

Congress, and that the dairy organ—

izations should be prepared for any

proposed change affecting the indus-

try.





 





SETS PACKERS’ DECREE ASIDE.

A FORMAL order setting aside the



packer consent decree has been



issued by Justice Bailey of the

United States Court in the District of

Columbia. Under this decree five years

ago the “big five” meat packers agreed

to go out of the business of transport-

ing and distributing unrelated lines of

business, including the handling of

groceries and provisions other than

meats.



Following a decision in the case

brought by the California canneries, a

motion was made by attorneys for the

packers asking that the decree be set

aside so far as the agreement related

to all lines of business, and the court

decided in favor of the packers.

Warbles—Grubs.—Wi_ll you kindly

give remedy for grubs in young cattle.

C. L., Metamora, Mich. —Prevent

gadflies from lighting on cattle by the

use of covers, by the application of

a commercial tar, and by spraying

three per cent cerolin solution on the

skin; also by thorough brushing to

remove the eggs laid on the skin. In-

jection of kerosene into the openings

of the swellings on the skin, by means

of dropper or small syringe (when

done at the earliest moment) leads to

killing the larvae and subsidence of

the swellings. Otherwise them is

nothing to do but gently express the

larvae by pressure with mouth of bot—

tle when they are ready to escape, and

don’t neglect to kill the grubs.





Necrotic Stomatitis.-—I would be

very thankful for some advice in re

gard to my spring pigs. They are now

about two weeks old and have a badly

infected mouth. I thought at first it

was caused by “Black Teeth” or “Wolf

Teets,” as sometimes it is called, but.

I think now it is something else, as I

bloke the teeth off with pinchers. but

didn’t seem to do any good, upper lips

swell up and get hard and iough nos-

t1il stops up. I have lost seveial.

Sows are in good warm hog house,

with board floor, and are bedded with

clean straw. F. G. S, Onaway, Mich.

—-—In the early stages the treatment



of necrotic stomatitis may be success-



f,ul but in the advanced stages the dis-

ease usually pioves fatal 1egardless of

twatmcnt. The most successlul heat-

ment consists in washing the mouth

and nostrils with a one per cent solu-

tion of nitrate of silver, and this local

tieatmcnt should be repeated fre-

quently.

the cause of necrobacillosis, and ne-

ClOCOllC stomatitis is one 1701111 of the

WHEAT





Wheat prices had a setback early

in the week, but underlying conditions

remain strong, and the weak periods in

the market are short lived. Old wheat

is disappearing rapidly, and the new

crop does not promise an abundant

yield.



The United States Department of

Agriculture estimates the world carry-

over of exportable Wheat on July 1 at

only 125,000,000 bushels against 283,-



" 000,000 bushels a year ago and 256,-

000,000 bushels two years ago. With

the carry-over of old wheat reduced to

a minimum, the world can eat in the

coming twelve months only the wheat

that is harvested during the year.

Until there is evidence of some large

yields torvoffset the prospective small

crop in the United States, a strong

situation will exist.



Reports on the progress of the Win-

ter wheat crop in the last two weeks

are mixed, some showing improvement

while others tell of the need of fre—

quent rains or of the Hessian fly and

chinch bug damage. Altogether, there

has probably been but little improve-

ment. Spring wheat has a fine start,

but rains have not been sufficient to

build up much of a reserve of mois-

ture, and a short period of dry weath-

er would probably result in many com-

plaints. European crops, With the ex—

ception of Russia, are said to be bet-

ter than at the corresponding date a

year ago. Canadian reports suggest

about the same acreage as a year ago

with better starting conditions.





RYE





Rye has been rather colorless, al-

though fundamentals are strong. The

visible supply is down to 11.5 million

bushels against 20,000,000 bushels a

month ago. The big shipments for ex-

port in the last few weeks seems to

be disappearing rapidly abroad.





kt CORN





Corn prices have had a strong up-

turn in the last week, but were easy

again at the close. Primary receipts

in the week ending May 9 were the

smallest for any week in nearly two





O

_ J

.





years and have been, inadequate for'

the current demand, even tho h the

latter is narrow. Since March 21,

when the visible supply was at the

peak, it has decreased 14,000,000 bush-

els, the largest for the corresponding

period in recent years with the excep~

tion of 1922 and considerably above

the average. The after-planting run

will be due in two or three weeks.

Some increase in receiptsis probable,

but the small farm reserves and good

prices for hogs suggest that it, may be

smaller than usual. The new corn,

crop is getting started much better

than last year on a slightly larger





acreage.

OATS





Oats continue to disappear rapidly.

In the last eight weeks the visible

supply has decreased 25,000,000 bush-

els, as against 9,000,000 bushels a year

ago and the largest for the, correspond-

ing period in at least fifteen years. Re-

ceipts continue light in spite of large

farm reserves. Moderate but steady

export business is being done. The

huge merchandising trade, together

with small arrivals at primary mar-

kets, show that at current prices there

is a good demand, but country holders

are not willing to sell.





SEEDS





The seed market is very quiet. The

carry-over of clover in most positions

is smaller than a year ago. Prices'on

most clover and grass seeds are higher

than a month ago. .





F EEDS





Mill feeds continued in a strong po-

sition last week with prices for im-

mediate shipment tending higher. Sup-

plies are more liberal although there

is no apparent pressure of offerings.

Future shipment wheat feeds are quot-

ed at a discount under quick shipment





stuff.

HAY





The hay market was quiet last week.

Demand was limited so that moderate

receipts were fully equal to require-

ments. Stocks- of hay on farms on

May 1 were 2,844,000 tons larger than

in 1924, totalling 15,679,000"tons, the

largest on record with one exception.

Considering the record crop last year,

the rather open winter and the de-

crease in the number of hay consum-

ing animals on farms, these stocks are

not excessive. The low price of hay





 





has favored feeding andgrobably m:

creased the‘amount wast . * '





POULTRY AND EGGS '





Fresh eggs were firm and higher/last '





week. Receipts have not fallen off. as

yet, but reports from the country in-'

dicate smaller collections, and the su

ply will gradually decline from th 3‘

point. Storage holdings of eggs on

May 1 were 4,901,000 cases compared

with 3,563,000 cases-on the same date

a year ago, an excess of 1,338,000 cas-

es. ‘Since May 1 the rate of accumu-’

lation has been less than a year ago

so that the excess has been reduced,

and holdings on June 1 will probably

be more nearly equal to those of last

year. '

ONIONS





Onion prices have been steadily ad-

vancing recently. Supplies of old stock

are being cleaned up, and thememain-





. der of the Texas crop of new onions is





closely held. Light receipts are antici‘

pated during the next two months.





BUTTER





The butter market retained its

strength last week, although sentiment

favored lower prices. Receipts are in-

creasing, but consumption is on a

broad basis, and so far arrivals have

been closely cleaned up. The flush of

production is close at hand, pastures

are generally reported in good shape,

and conditions favor a spring make

equal to a year ago. With the season

several weeks earlier than usual, ar-

rivals will soon show full grass flavor

suitable for storage. Dealers will prob-

ably attempt to push prices somewhat

lower before storing in a large way,

but present prices are not far from

the new spring basis so that declines

should not be drastic. Storage hold--

ings on May 1 were the smallest on

record on that date with one excep-

tion. The close of the storage deal

which threatened to be the most dis-

astrous ever known was far more fav-

orable than any believed possible.

shipping points. ' City, prices. were





marked up the to“45 cents above the ,





previous week’s levels. The supply of

new potatoes was liberal, shipments

being twice as many as moved during

the same perioghin 1924, but prices

were marked hi er during the week.

Northern round whites U. S. o. 1

were quoted at $1.10@1.25 per 100 lbs.

in the Chicago carlot market. East-

ern round whites were held at $1.35

per 100 pounds.





CHEESE





Cheese markets advanced slightly

last week in line with higher country

costs. Supplies are liberal, but-cur-

rent demand absorbs the larger -pro-

portion of supplies and accumulations

are not burdensome. Grass cheese will

be available sooner than a year ago.-

The appearance of this cheese, which

is suitable for storage, usually has a“

strengthening effect on the market.





WOOL





A firmer tone is present in the wool

market although the volume changing

hands is small and prices are largely

nominal. The betterment was due to

the curtailing of the London sale to

one-third of the amount originally.

scheduled and to suspension of all

sales in Australia until July 1.



There is no big surplus of wool in

this country or abroad, and the de-

cline in the last few months has cor-

rected any excess that may have ex-

isted in the advance last fall and early

winter. Sales in producing sections

are few and far between, but a trad-

ing basis will probably be established

in a short time if seaboard markets

stabilize. In the bright wool sections

of the middle west, growers are being

offered 35 tog40 cents for their clips.





DETROIT Crrv MARKET:





Buying was quite brisk. The mar-

ket was fairly crimson with radishes

and prices fell off before all were

cleaned up. Offerings of asparagus

were liberal and the demand active.-

Lettuce and spinach were easy sellers,





while the increased supply of green '





onions and rhubarb meant lower pric-

es and a slower clean-up. The demand

for sorrel, carrots, parsnips, and other

root crops ,was limited. Apples were

taken readily and there Was a little

more life in the demand for potatoes.

Consi ment Sale of Michigan Guernf

seys eld under the. auspices of the

State Guernsey Breeders’ Association.

.The sale will be held at the college

live stock pavillion and will begin at

12:30 P. M., eastern standard time.

This will be the largest single offer-

ing of pure-bred Guernseys in the state

in the past few years. Although pub-_

selected from twenty-four of the lead-

healthy herds have been accepted. In

the offering are eighteen cows, thirty

heifers and calves, and five males.





 





GOOD DEMAND FOR HORSES.





ERE is a demand for good well-

bred riding horses, according to

army officers who have in charge



the buying of mounts. ‘And not on y

is the army finding greater difficulty in

securing riding horses of the proper

type, but there is a growing demand

for horses for horseback riding, polo

and hunting. This demand is so far

above the supply, it is said, that good

riding horses are bringing prices far!

above those of former days in this

country.





NEW BULLETINS.





“Farm Kitchens."—lf you are con-

sidering building a new house or re-

modeling the old one, now is the time

to plan it, and one of the' first things

to consider is the kitchen. This bul-

letin contains detailed drawings and

sketches with a complete discussion of

the ideal 1925 kitchen with adapta-

tions to all rural conditions. The mat—

ter of lighting, height of tables and

sink, cupboerd space, and general ar-

rangement o save-the greatest pos-

sible number of steps, are discussed

fully. Write to the Michigan State

College Extension Department for Bul-

letin No. 37 of the extension series.



“Rural Highways,” by GP. Halligan.

-—This bulletin, the first of a special

rural landscape series, deals with the

commercial possibilities of roadside

”landscaping and its value in selling a

community to transients. The scenery

of Michigan is one of our greatest as-

sets, and the roadsides convey impres-

sions of the state to the greatest num-

ber of people, but if we are to retain

our natural advantages we must pre-

serve the roadside growth and plant

more. “Rural Highways” may be ob-

tained from the college extension de-

partment by writing for Bulletin No. 1

of the landscape series.



“Tourist Camps,” by C. P. Halligan.

*Tourists are gradually becoming one

of Michigan’s most profitable “crops”

and the wealth brought into our state

annually by sightseers is enormous.

Many farmers are providing camping

facilities for motorists, thus providing

a helpful service for which a nominal

rate may be charged. Some rural com-

munities are cooperating with tourists

to the extent of furnishing suitable

camping sites with fuel, water, and

open stoves provided. This bulletin

deals with all phases of the subject

and should be invaluable to individuals

and communities who are contemplat-

ing establishing tourist accommoda-

tions.





 





STILL TOO MANY GOOD CATTLE.





 





‘ UPERABUNDANCE of well-finished

steers and relative scarcity of low-

er grades and of she stock are still



the prominent features of the cattle



market. Good and choice beeves lost

ground last week, with heavyweights

declining most. Yearlings are none

too numerous, but the best kinds are

slightly lower. Common and medium

beef steers are still scarce, but the



supply increased enough to cause a



slight decline in prices, and this made



the efforts to break the cow and heif—



er market more successful. After a.



rise of $1 in the calf market at Chi-



cago, it is softening again.



It is still a. case of too many cattle

of one kind. Total receipts around the

market circle have not been especially

heavy, in fact, they are smaller than

a-year ago. Buyers are looking for

an early increase in the supply of me-

dium steers as well as cows and heif-

ers, and a sharp break is to be expect-

ed as soon as the increase appears.





is also a probability, but not quite so

Certain as the decline on other grades.



The feeder movement in the last

four or five weeks has been smaller

than at the corresponding period in

the previous three years. Prices are

at the highest level of the season, but

a downward trend is to be expected

bottom for the market during the

spring, although prices may drop close

to that point if receipts increase in the

next two or three weeks as they usu-

ally do at this season of the year.



Rather sharp fluctuations may occur

in the next month, but it appears that

around the $12 level at Chicago, a good

deal of resistance will be shown to

declines as producers will not sell

freely and demand for product will be

broad. Both domestic consumption

and export buying seem to be much

better than a month or two ago.



Stocks of lard in storage gained less

that 2,000,000 pounds in April as com-

pared th an increase of nearly 17,-

000,000 pounds in that month last year

and a five-year average increase of

16,000,000 pounds. Stocks of hog meats

declined slightly and at about the same

rate as last year. \

One look picks the pro t-ma/eer:





 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 





But appearance is a dangerous guide. in choosing “oil





ONE look may be enough to tell a skillful farmer

the hogs that are easiest to fatten, or the poultry

that brings the greatest profits.





But there is one place on the farm where the eye

fails, where looks mean nothing. Two oils, may look

as much alike as two prize Durocs, but differ as

widely as a pure-bred and a runt.





A'ppearance won’t tell you that one oil will dis-

tribute perfectly in your motor and that another may

not.





From appearance, there isn’t any way of judging

that one oil will break down and another stand up

under the heat of your motor, that one will burn





clean and another produce soot and carbon, and

that one will seal pistons and give power and smooth .





running, while another will let power “blow by”

the piston rings. ‘





For operating economy,

follow this guide





When the eye fails as a guide, isn’t it reasonable to

get the most expert advice you can find?





Near your farm is a Mobiloil dealer who gives

advisory service in lubrication. He runs an estab-

lished business year after year I

and is more interested in keep- '

ing you for a steady customer

than in making an occasional

sale at fancy profits.0n his wall,

he has the Gargoyle Mobiloil

Chart of Recommen dations be-

cause he knows it puts oil-sell-

ing on the only sound basis—





Branclm in principal cities. Addrem

New Turk, Clzitago, or Kama: Cit}.





 





the use of this Chart means that every purchaser





gets oil which engineers’agree is perfectly suited to

the requirements of his motor.





The dealer’s judgment is backed by the combined

judgment of motorists who call for Mobiloil more than

for any five other brands combined, and by practi.

callyallmanufacturersof automobiles trucks, tractors

and motors who have placed their okays on the rec-

ommendations listed in the Mobiloil Chart.





Where you can secure

advisory lubrication service





It is easy to find the dealer who gives this advisory





service. On the outside of his building, he promi--





nently diSplays a metal Mobiloil sign with the red

Gargoyle. Inside, you will find the complete Chart.

Make it your guide and you will always be certain

of getting oil designed for duty in your motor.





Mobiloil 18 made from crude stocks chosen only

for their lubricating qualities and not for high gaso—

line yield. Every batch, every can, every quart of

Mobiloil is “true to type.”





It is made by the Vacuum Oil Company which

has specialized solely in lubrication for 59 years.
