I C H I GA N ranks eighth among the

states in total wealth. As further proof





of its splendid financial position, Michigan’s

corporations and citizens paid 6.05 per cent of

the total income tax of the United States in

1921. It ranked third in the payment of

corporation inCOme taxes and eighth in per—

sonal income taxes that year. Its gross income

. - was exceeded by that of only six other states.

'53 / Income and profits taxes amounting to $88,—

r ' 679,000 were collected in 1923; only four other states exceeded this

amount. Miscellaneous internal revenue collected amounted to

$68,917,000, the State ranking third in this respect.

fl] Postal ~revenues are also a good barometer of the volume of business

initiated in a given area. Michigan postal receipts ranked eighth in

1923 with a total of $16,177,000. In the .same year, domestic money

orders were issued to the sum of $68,635,000, the State ranking sixth.

The thrift of ‘Michigan people is attested by its holding eighth place in

postal savings deposits, the amount being $2,100,540 for the fiscal year

ended June 30, 19231.. and the people in only seven other states had a

‘smaller percentage of business failures in 1923, and the people in only

seven other states received a larger total sum in wages and salaries.

'NE of the oldest 5m?! one-hf the

consciidated





most ‘ successful



‘- schools to be found in the state



is located in the little town of Good-

erich, Genesee' county. The town

dates book to the old pioneer days of





«Michigan when a settlement grew up

, ‘ there around the old mill, and pos-

’ sesses no particular advantage of “lo-





cation or industry. The present pop-





. ulation numbers only four hundred. It





is the center of a typical farming com-

munity, and a splendid example of the

latent possibilities in such. a 00mmu-

nity. Fer it now has a modern school

plant, a community church and one of

the best hospitals in the county.





The Goodrich Consolidated School

from 1919 when six districts compris-

ing twenty-five square miles, united un-

der the Rural Agricultural Schbol Act

of that year. The valuation of the

consolidated area. is $1,323,000. And

the total enrollment in the school is

22-5. Seven busses are used in trans-

porting the pupils. The school tax

last year was $17.35 per thousand.

This included not only all operating

expenses, but also a retirement of one-

tenth of the bonded indebtedness. The

school was originally constructed as a

local building in 1913, when pre-war

prices were in force, at a cost of $13,-

500. A $31,000 addition this past

summer made possible a gymnasium,

a school garage and facilities for

handling‘the variety of courses which





’ a rural school demands.





The building as it is now completed

is most attractive. Strictly modern

throughout in its lighting; heating,

ventilating and plumbing, fire proof in

construction, well proportioned archi-

tecturally as it rises from its maple-

shaded lawn, every student is proud

of the school he attends. But, in the

sam’é'sense that a beautiful house does

not necessarily make a home, neither

does a fine building make a school.

Tribute is due to the superintendent

of the Goodrich school, Mr. M. V.

Gleason, for his tireless effort and

planning that makes the school physi-

cally attractive. But of much greater

importance is the way in which he

has organized the faculty, the student





body and the whole program of school '





activities, to meet the needs of the

community. What are some of the





'the transportation problem?





things that give the Goodrich school

real individuality and serve to refute

so many of the antiquated arguments

against consolidation?



B One of the first points that inevit-

ably comes up in every discussion of

consolidation is that of transportation.

How has the Goodrich school solved

One is

immediately impressed by the uni-

formity and neat appearance of the

seven busses. All are mountedon light

truck chassis. The bus bodies give

every appearance of being factOry





ound





built, but those who 'doubt the prac-

most successfully in- maintaining order

and efficiency.



The expense of transportation al—

ways looms larger as a fear than a.

fact. ,After the state aid has been de-

ducted from the total cost, the net

cost to the district was only $3.20 per

pupil for the entire year—400 trips, and

only four-fifths of a cent per trip. No-

tice, too, that this includes, not only

gas and oil, which are purchased at

wholesale, but all expense of upkeep

and a liberal alléwance for deprecia-

tical value of manual training in the

high school ought to be told that they

were built by the boys themselves in

their regular class work. The busses

are all owned by the school.





Now as to drivers. One of the teach-

ers handles a bus, both janitors drive,

one of them being a skilled auto me-

chanic, and the others are driven by

the older school boys. But someone

will immediately say, “How dare you

trust a mere high school boy with a

bus load of children?” Experience

speaks louder than theory. Every

month there is reserved from each

driver’s salary a. certain amount which

accumulates as a bonus, payable at

the end of the year. Lack of prompt-

ness,-disorder in the bus, loss of tire

chains or other equipment, reduces

this bonus. The system works out





tion on both bodies and chassis. And

remember that fifty per cent of the

roads are yet unimproved clay roads.



The route of each bus is carefully

mapped in the superintendent’s office,

the map showing the home of every

child whd'is transported and the time

the bus ‘is due to reach there. In

case a bus breaks down or is delayed

for any reason, a telephone call to the

school, a glance at the map, and in-

stantly another bus can be dispatched

to the scene to pick up the children.

Such a map is invaluable to visualize

transportation to the school board and

road commissioners. It is interesting

to notice the extent to which these

two boards are working together in

improving the roads on every bus





route.





In watching the children arrive at

school, One gets a thrill in seeing bus

after bus roll up and unload its cargo

of health and energy and possibilities.

One is impressed by the social advan-

tages the consolidated school affords.



The success of any school rests pri-

marily on its teaching force. The fac—

ulty here consists of nine carefully

selected teachers. A look in at the

little tots makes one appreciate how

much more can be accomplished by a.

specialist in the early grades than by

a teacher in a district one-room

school who must divide her time be-

tween eight grades and from thirty to

fifty classes. On up through the grades

each age has the stimulation of study-

ing and learning and playing with a

room full, not older, not younger, but

boys and girls who are in their par-

ticular stage of development.





The junior high school is a splendid

arrangement for bridging that jumping

off place which used to follow the

eighth grade and mark the mental

terminus for so many country boys

and girls. Upon reaching that period

we find manual training and domestic

science required subjects in the Good-

rich school. W'hat bee hives of activ:

ities these laboratories are. No dis—

ciplinary trouble is to be found here,

for the young people are doing what

they like to do. Here we see a group

of girls sewing, seated informally

around a. table with their teacher.

Over there in' the kitchen is another

aproned group, and what savory

smells arise from that kitchen. If it

is in October it may be that irresist-

able odor of tomatoes, from the school

farm, being canned for the winter hot

lunches. In colder weather a whiff

of hot cocoa, or a stew of onions, cart

rots and potatoes, all from the school

farm, may tell the boys working with

saws and hammers in the next labora-

tory that the noon hour is approach-

ing. The school is filled with the prac-

tical results of the manual training

department. Beside the bus bodies

before mentioned, cabinets, tables,

benches, gymnasium platform, and

playground equipment all reflect credit

to the instructor and show the devel-

oping capabilities of the boys.



The agriculture department ofacon-

solidated school is what gives it it’s

distinctively rural touch. For here it

Have Patience With That Alfalfa Seeding

head of county

ture. The speech was given at a farm-

ers’ institute held in Hastings about

fourteen years ago. I have an espe-

cially clear recollection of one portion

of it. After describing the value of

the crop and methods of obtaining a

successful seeding, Dr. ‘Smith said:





“You determine to grow a field of

alfalfa, get all information available





,on. the subject, carefully prepare the





ground for thenew seeding. apply the

amouet‘ of lime freco'nimendeda , Inoc-

ulate the soil—this was before the use

of cultures had become common—and

sow the seed. A perfect stand is se-

cured'and the young alfalfa grows vig—

orously. Nodules form on the roots.

You look at the field with a satisfied

eye, and picture in your mind the mow

full of beautiful hay you will harvest

next year.





“Again summer comes. The new‘

seeding seems to start off in good

shape. Then it has a setback. It

quits growing and looks sick; weeds

grow up among the young alfalfa

plants. You are disappointed and dis

couraged. You wonder what you should





have dOne that you didn’t do, or what

you did that you should not have done,

and you conclude that your alfalfa is

a failure. Have patience. Your new

seeding is going through what I term

its teething period. You probably will

not cut much hay from the field this

year but next year it will come along

all right and prove to be a satiSfactory

alfalfa meadow.”





Hundreds of new alfalfa seedings

were made in this part of Michigan

last year. Many of them are the first

attempts of beginners, This year a

large proportion of these "yearlings"





-,are making little growth and are weak,





puny, feeble. I happen to know that

some of these beginners are afraid

that their seedings are failures, and

talk of plowing them up, but as Dr.

Smith said, "Have patience. Probably

they will be all right next year.”





I have told this story before many

times. It will be remembered by some

who read this article. It has helped

to save more than one seeding which

the owner thought would not amount

to anything, but in the years that fol-

lowed came along all right and pro-

duced good crops of hay.





I tell the story again, hoping that it



will aid in preserving for future use-

fulness some of the apparently poor

seedings of last year.

DETROIT, JUNE 20, 1925 .

CURRENT .COMMENT





N a study of the re-





 





 





BO 3 lation of the size of

(1'2. farms to the number

an lg of boys who remain

Farms on the farm, it has





been discovered that

larger farms offer a reasonable solu-

tion to this perplexing question, at

least, surveys show this to be the case.

In a study made in New York state

where the records of nearly seven hun-

dred farms were reviewed, it was found

that nearly one-half of the sons on

small farms left for urban life, where

as on the larger units over ninety per

cent remained at home.





The reason seems to be an economic

one. There is plenty of work to be

had on any farm. The amount is un-

limited. But labor is usually found to

be most profitable when applied to the

larger area. Therefore, the boy on the

big farm gets the idea that the farm

is worth while, from the standpoint of

getting ahead, so he sticks.





Families who have more boys than

they have profitable work for, may

find it advisable to increase their farm

acreage. Not in many years has there

been a better time than the present

for making this addition to the aver-

age farmstead. The relative cheapness

of land, and the ease with which men-

ey can be secured, seems to justify

such a statement.





HE general im-



Spending pression is that

Fourth. We older





ones seem to think that the spirit of

youth and noise go together. But, if

you will turn back to the Boys’ and

Girls’ pages in this issue, you will find

that at least some young folks believe

in safe and sane Fourths.





The Fourth of July is a day for cel-

ebrating the independence of this

country. We make this statement with

the thought that she may not know it,

so often has the celebration of our

holidays gone far from their true pur-

poses. But just why noise and the

celebration of liberty should be thought

synonymous is beyond comprehension.



The liberty such as we enjoy is not

reckless or noisy. A reckless inde<





. pendence endangers happiness. There—





fore, it should be prohibited. It is not





, the kind of liberty which VWashington

, fought for, or Patrick Henry spoke for.

an appreciation of the suflerlng and

we may enjoy America as it is today.

Such activities should instill or renew

HE foremost au-





An 'thority on agricul-

E l. h tural economics in

"8' '3 ' England. Sir Daniel ~





man 8 View Hall, recently express-



ed the opinion that

huge business units to cenduct farm-

ing will replace the one-man farms,

and that the resulting change in the

sobial life of the rural community

which will entail, is the solution for

the world-wide bread-and-butter prob-

lem.





Mr. Hall further states that this re-

organization will begin within the

present generation. “When the small,

independent farmers. generally fail to

make a go of it, then capital will see

its‘ opportunity and will step in with

its advantages of large organization

and economical operation. Since 1900

there has been—excepting during the

war period——a steady upward trend

of food prices. ’l‘his'will likely in-

crease to a point where capital cannot

keep its hands off, and then will come

the new era in agriculture.”



We are not going to argue with Mr.

Hall. He may be right We do know,





, however, that to date efforts to op-





erate large areas of land economically

under a single organization generally

have been unsuccessful. But this may

not always be the case. _New methods

may change agriculture, as steam and

electricity have changed methods of

manufacture.





All will depend upon efiiciency. If

the family-SIZed farm can raise grains

and animal products more efficiently

than can be done by the large corpor-

ation, then the latter will have a diffi-

cult time getting a foothold. Other

wise, we may expect Mr. Hall’s pre-

diction to come true.



The situation emphasizes, however,

the need for a close study, by the in-

dividual farmer, of all the elements in

his business, to the end that the larg-

est results may come from the least

investment of capital and labor.

cently been complet-



as an ed showing the influ-

Educatof ence of milk upon

work. The conclusion reached by





those having the tests in charge was

“that milk fed children do the best

better health, grow normally and are

better able to keep up with their

school work when they drink milk at

home and at school.

chanical relations, to a certain extent,

wait upon his will; but his vital rela-

tions are forever fixed.”



The idea, if we interpret rightly the

words of our distinguished naturalist,

is that we will suffer when we violate

any fixed laws regarding the mainte-

nance of our bodies. By changing the

nature of our food we may bring joy

or sorrow, according as the change

suits our natural requirements or dis-

agrees therewith.

We feel badly over this because.

from the time We started our educa-

tion we were taught that 'rObin" red-

breast was our friend. Besides, we

have always liked to. see him on the

lawn listening for worms and pulling

them out. Then, too, his cheery song

has been an inspiration to those who

are open to the enjoyment of nature’s

good things.





But, now we learn that his song is





harsh and unmusical; he "steals the

planted grain, eats cherries and straw-

berries, and besides he does these

things impudently, not cautiously like

the crow. Even the worms he feeds

are the angle kind which are useful to

man for fishing, etc. But tent cater-

pillars and such things which are de-

structive to man’s crops he pays no

attention to.





Somehow, even though we have

learned all this bad news about the

robin and have known for some time

that he has been pretty hard on our

cherry trees, we feel sure that we will

want to see him around. It may be

due to our early education, but we be-

lieve that he personifies beauty and

good cheer_ through his song and

grace. He is one of the birds which

lets us know that there is happiness

in this world. For that reason alone

we like him.

Success truth in that state





ment, for a good work-

er would not be content with poor

tools; he could not do good work with

them.



We feel that the relation of tools to

good husbandry is much the same as

tools and good workmanship. Farm

work can not be done efficiently with

poor tools. Both time and results suf-

fer from the use of inefficient and in-

sufficient equipment.



The c01n planter which misses only

one kernel in ten will cause the loss

of 100 to 200 bushels of corn on aforty

acre field. In other words, the cost

of the planter itself will be lost in

one year.





The cream separator which skims

inefficiently will cause losses as high

as $25 per month. The one row culti~

vator will take much longer than a.

two-row one. An inefficient spray out-

fit will cause untold losses in the

quality of fruit.



Money can be saved, er made, de-

having such equipment as a silo, husk-

time and labor and, properly used,

will produce a cleaner product than

hand-milking. It will pay in dollars and

cents as well as in health, to let ma-

chinery do the work whenever there

is sufficient work to justify its use.



These things are brought to atten-

tion because it has been found that

farmers are spending fully three times

as much for automobiles as for work-

ing equipment. The farmer should

not refrain from buying autos, as they

are of greater use to him than to the

city man. They also give him needed

Coporez‘z'c





HE other day I went to 1. banquet

and one o' the main speakers said

“coposetic” semi-occasionally, just like

he knew what it meant. He would say,

"ain't this coposetic?” and “ain’t that

coposetic?” I didn’t know whether it

was or not. I asked him why he didn’t

,use the English language all the way

through like I do, and then folkses

would understand what he was sayin’.

He said coposetic was New York

Irish fer delicate. I don’t believe him,

'cause there .’int nothin’ Irish what

is delicate.



This coposetic speaker saidthe din-

ner was coposetic. I don’t believe him

again, ’cause he

didn't handle it

like a n y t h i n g

what was deli-

cate. He went

right after it like

he was afraid it’d

get away from

him, and he didn’t

have no coposetic

, appetite, neithex.



I’ll tell you what coposetic is. It

ain’t nothin’. It ain’t even written in

the Book 0’ Words. It’s just what

some 0’ these fellows, who pay fer

their dinner by talkin’ instead 0’ with

real money, use ta show their super-

intelligunce. They don’t know what

the word means, so they’re sure the

folkses, who is ready ta sleep off the

dinner they paid fer, don’t know. It’s

just ta make those folkses feel what

you call inferior, like I feel when Sofie

gets after me sometimes.



I thought I’d try coposetic on Sofie,

so I says, “Diary Ann is quite copo—

setic, ain’t she?” “No, she ain’t eith—

er. You are always complimentin’

other women and never me.” I says,

“Coposetic means delicate and there

sure ain’t nothin“ delicate about you."

Then she found out how littul she

knew and what a smart husbund she

had. So I wanta say much oblige ta

that speaker fer the word.



I’m getting up some words myself.

One is inquamulate. It means nothin’,

just like coposétic. But when Sofie

asks me what I’m doin’ I’ll say I’m

inquamulatin’. That’ll mean I’m doin’

nothin’, but she won’t know it. If I

kin: get that ta. work I’ll accomplush

which is doin’ nothin’ and makin’ Sofie

hack- to the high point. This month-.—

.April,

ning of the debacle which was so. dis-





, estrous to agriculture.

In reading statements of business.





conditions or five years ago, very little





-pessimism is found. Not until August





of 1920 was the trend of prices out-

standing. At that time it was not a

question of whether prices were going

to ’,fall but Just how low they





would go.





Agriculture was, of course, hit hard-

est by, the depression. Prices dropped

fiftyssixpoints, from 243 to 187,’ from

April to October, 1920, and during the

year April, 1920,-to April, 1921, they

fell from 243 to 117, or 126 points. This

was a drop of more than one«half.



April, 1921, marked virtually the end

of the price decline, however, after a

rise in Maybfarm products dropped to

114 and quickly recovered ‘to 119 the

next month. Never since that time





have they been so low.





In general, the history of agricultur-

al prices since 1913 is that they were

slightly above the 1913 level in 1914

and 1915, and in early 1916 commenc-

ed an upswing which was fairly steady

until January, 1920, when they stood

at 247. From January, 1920, to June,

1921, farm products prices deereased

rapidly to a point of only’fourteen per

cent above the 1913 level. Most of

this decline took place during the year

ended April' 1921. Since that time

there was a gradual increase in agri-

cultural prices, until they reached the





> high level of 163 in January, 1925. Dur-





ing the past few months, prices have

By]. T





been going down. Those on farm prod-





» ucts had declined ten points, to 153,





for April, 1925.

What will be the future trend of

prices, is a question which every wise





manager, whether (in a farm, in a fac-‘





tory, bank or retail store, must give

consideration. The farmer is inter-

ested in what present prices are; but

he is ignore concerned, when planning

the year’s business, with what they

will be after the harvest. Market con-

ditions during the next five years will

hgve a marked effect on the outcome

of present plans.



Brice levels are not the most vital

factors of our economic structure.\ lf‘ar

more important are price relationships.

If all pices go up and down in bar-

mony, very little damage results ex-

cept the inequalities which result in

connection with the repayment of

loans. If the prices of the products





 





Hornet





of the farm decline and those of the

factory do not, the farmer is hurt

financially. Likewise, if agricultural

prices remain Constant and manufac-

tured goods prices go up, the farmer

is at a. disadvantage.



During the early months of 1919,

farm products had advanced to point

higher than any other group. The-

oretically, the farmer was in a good

position. By October, 1920, farm prod-

ucts prices were the lowest. This rad-

ical change was very difficult to with-

stand. The fact that so‘many of our

farmers came through this period and

remained in business is a credit to

their business ability, their resource-

fulness, their credit standing, and their

moral strength.



The trend of price levels since April,

1917, are shown on page 788. These

show how agricultural prices changed

low again. The change from January

to April, 1925, is very similar tothat

qt 1920.

years ago is to be repeated is worthy

of question. Some of the conditions.

seem to be about the same. Agricul-

tural products prices have dropped

about the same number of points





which means a greater relative drop '





because the price level is not so high

now. These prices have also dropped

below the level of “All Commodities”

just as they did in 1920.



Here the similarity of the two peri-

ods seems to cease. Business condi-

tions are much more sound than in the

former period. Price relationships,

while not back to the 1913 status, are

in better condition than they were five

years ago. Index numbers for the

high and low commodity groups since

April, 1920, show that the variation

between these groups is becoming less.



The price tendency appears to be

that of a lowering of the high groups

and a. rising of the low groups. This

will not be the case in all instances;

but unquestionably we are getting

back nearer to a state harmony in

price relationship. However, we should

not assume that conditions in- 1913

were ideal nor that it is likely prices

would get back to this relationship,

even if it were ideal. Long time

changes in the relationship between

prices of different groups is the result

of changes in industrial and social

conditions and are not in themselves-

bad. It is only when these changes

are so violent that the productive

agencies cannot readily adjust them-

selves to the changed conditions that

bad results follow.



It is never safe to make forecasts.

This pastime is especially dangerous

if these forecasts are used by others

as a basis upon which to plan their

business. However, the indications as

I read them, are that during the next

Experimental Cattle Sold at Detroit





T fie Rem/ts of tfie Year’s Test in Catt/e Feeding at Michigan State C allege





E experimental cattle from the



Michigan State College sold last



on the Detroit market at $10.50

per cwt They were handled by the

Michigan Live Stock Exchange and

were bought by the Michigan Beef

Company.



These thirty heifer calves had been

on feed since November 7, 1924, start-

ing at an average weight of 370

pounds, and the entire drove averaged

755 pounds in Detroit. They had been

fed in three lots, divided equally as to





‘ size, conformation, quality and flesh-





ing. The final experimental weights

were taken May 16, making a feeding

period of 190 days.

nations Fed.





The basal ration of silage and ai-

falfa was fed in all lots throughout

the experiment. Each lot received all

the silage they could clean up readily

twice per day, and alfalfa hay was

kept before them in racks



A mixture of equal parts by weight

of shelled corn and Whole oats was fed

all lots the first sixty days, three parts

corn and one part oats thenext thirty

days, and corn a10ne the last 100 days.

The calves in Lot 1 and Lot 2 each

received one pound of oilmeal per day

the first ninety days, and one and one-

half pounds per. day the next sixty

days, and two pounds per day the last





‘ ’ . forty: camisoles the silage-night and





grain at the end of thirty days, when

by gradual increase they had reached

a full feed. Lot \2 was hand-fed twice

daily, approximately twothirds the

amount of grain consumed by Let 1

throughout the experiment. Lot 3 re-

ceived no oilmeal, but was fed an

amount of grain equal to the sum of

the grain and oilmeal fed in Lot 2, up

to within fifty days before the close

of the experiment, when they refused

to take the increased ration except for

a few days before the close of the

experiment. However, » their gains

dropped for only a few days.

Gains in Proportion to Feed Eaten.

Lot 1 consumed considerably more

grain than the other lots, but less sil-

age and alfalfa. However, the calves

in Lot 1 gained 2.13 pounds per day,

less than one-tenth pound more per

day than those in Lot 2, (2.04 pounds),

and only two-tenths of a pound more

than those in Lot 3, (1.90 pounds).

The cost of feed for 100 pounds of

gain in weight, deducting the value of

pork produced from the droppings, was

$13.23 in Lot 1; $11.77 in Lot 2, and

$11.17 in Lot 3. The necessary selling





price in the lots at home, to break





even for the initial cost of the calves

and the cost of feed, was $10.35 for

Lot 1; $9.59-for Lot 2, and $9.21 for

Lot 3. When they were appraised by





'live stock men from Detroit on May

.»9 the market was slightly higher and





the first two lots were valued at $11

and the third lot at $10.50.





Limited Corn Rations Profitable.



With corn at $1.26, oats at fifty-six

cents, oilmeal $55, silage $5.00, and

alfalfa $12, the self-fed lot shows a.

loss of $1.52 per calf, crediting pork;

the second lot shows a profit of $4.25

per calf, and Lot 3 a profit of $3.20

per calf.



The feeding of oilmeal in the second

lot shows an additional profit of $1.05

per calf more than in the strictly

home—grown ration in Lot 3. With oth-

er feeds as charged above, the calves

returned for the shelled corn fed, $1.21

per bushel in Lot 1; $1.47 in Lot 2,

and $1.40 in Lot 3.



Steer calves of equal finish would

have sold slightly higher than the heif-

ers did, but they would have cost at

least $2.00 per cwt. more in the fall.





WILL DEMONSTRATE NEW HAY-

MAKING SYSTEM.





 





MQDERN hay-making machinery,

applying lessons learned from

our fathers who .kept rakers on the

heels of the scythers so their .grass

would cure in the shade of the pile,

rather than bleach in the sun, is to be

demonstrated by the Michigan State





College in a series of County Hay_





Days, this summer.



In the switch from hand hay-making

methods to machinery during the past

quarter century, many of the advan-

tages of old- fashioned methods which





resulted in hay of excellent leafiness,

color and aroma were lost. Now, how-

ever, modern machinery is available

which will rake the new-mown hay as

soon as it falls over the cutter-bar. A

left-hand, curved-tooth, side-delivery

rake which forms airy windrows, has

been designed and the State College

has employed it in the making of sev-

eral hundred tons of excellent alfalfa

the past two years.



The ability of this rake to pick up

freshly cut hay without waiting for

wilting has enabled its users to cure

their hay much more rapidly and with-

out encountering the bleaching effect

of the sun with the attendant loss of

food value and palatability. 0



The large acreage of alfalfa which

Michigan growers are handling makes

it imperative that some system of hay

making be employed which will rap-

idly and economically put up bay of

good quality. Ralph Hudson, manager

of the State College Farm, states that

the new system has saved forty per

cent in handling operations over the

old hand methods, and it resulted in

bay of excellent quality.



Arrangements have already been

made to conduct hay curing demon-

strations in Branch, Van Buren, Kala-

mazoo, Wexford and Antrim counties,

and crop extension men at the State

College expect that eight or ten addi-





tional demonstrations of the new curo‘

.- ing system will be arranged before the





season is over.

RYE ON RENTED FARM.





 





Last year I put in nine acres of rye

on the place I was working. I paid

money rent for the place and my time

wasn’t up on the place until the first

of March of this year, and I put the

rye in last fall. Can I hold the rye

now and harvest it this summer as

long as I was paying rent when I put

it in? The neighbors tell me I have a.

right to go back and harvest it.

There are several things to consider

in determining the true status of con-

ditions involved in the above inquiry.

Was there rye on the place at time

of rental? If so, who received the.

crop? ‘



What was the understanding at the

time lease'was made relative to sow-

ing a. crop that would be harvested





.after termination of lease, and what

were the intentions of the tenant at





 





the time therye was sown. Certainly,

HELPING FARMERS WITH LAND-

CLEARING.





 





 





 





NDE'R the management of Mr. L.



M. Geismar, county agricultural

agent, three demonstrations will be

held in Houghton county relating to

land-clearing, plowing and planting.

Teams, tractors and pyratol will pro

vide the energy required for clearing

a half—acre plot, and there will also be

demenstrations in ditch and boulder

blasting. Mr. George Amundsen, of

the engineering extension division of

the Michigan State College will be in

charge. ‘



On the second day of each demon-

stration will take plaCe a demonstra-

tion of plowing, fitting and planting

the land cleared dUring the first day.

Oats will be planted on these fields.

These oats, taken from a field of last

season where smut was present, will

be planted partly without treatment

and partly with formaldehyde treat-

ment to show the value of treatment

of seed against this disease.



Meetings will be held later on when

the effect of this treatment becomes

apparent. There will also be a dem-

onstration of the value of rolling the

ground before and after planting the

oats. \

when some 3,000 acres will be in plow

lands. Losses of calves the past Win- _

ter is put at two per cent, as compared :

with some five per cent in the west.

”KEEPING DOWN WEEDS.





 





NE. of the hard tasks we find our-



selves up' against during the sum-

mer season at Forest Grove Farm is

If other

crops. on-the farm grew with so little

labor as weeds, I am inclined to think

that the farm -labor problem could be

easily solved. .





Dr. Beal, when the writer was in

college, defined a weed as a plant out

of _ place. .The more productive the

soil the greater the task'is to keep

weeds idown. Where cultivation is

neglected, weeds are sure to take pos-

This, I believe, is nature’s





soil washing.





Frequent and thorough cultivation

is the only economic method of weed

control in cultivated crops. Once

started, it is very difiicult to get rid

of weeds without injuring the crop.

My experience has been that a culti-

vation at the right time is worth sev-

eral cultivations af—ter weeds have got

a start.‘





I find sheep a great assistance in

keeping weeds down on my farm. At

Forest Grove Farm we have about five

acres in the dooryard. We have al-

ways mowed this yard three times

every year. Two years ago I put a

wire fence with steel posts around our

dooryard. Now, I turn the sheep in

frequently and they do the mowing.

They keep the yard in better shape

than we could with the mowing ma-

chine; besides, they destroy the nox-

ious weeds that otherwise would go

to seed—Leo C. Reynolds.

teirt bookeare‘stuaied in a large, well





”lighted, laboratoryg‘around. tables that ‘





mimit both general discussion and in-





dividual-experimentation.

The vout-ofedoor laboratory for the





agriculture andvbotany classes is the

school farm, a.,plot 'of three "or four

acres which liesrj'ust beyond the play-





_»;ground and acrossthe oldmill stream.

alt. makes an ideal place for - experi-





ment plots and for demonstration in





gfruit,_' shrubbery and gardening. And





last year this little, farm won the re-

spect of the entirecommunity by pro-

ducifig,one hundred bushels of certi-

fied seed potatoes fromgone-fourth of

an acre. Almost the entire care of

this plot is supplied by the students.



Another , interesting phase of the

school work ,in agriculture are the pro-

jects at the home farms of the_stu—

dents carried on under the supervision

of the agriculture teacher. This en-

lists the active interest and coopera-

tion of the parents. Last year there

were home projects in potatoes, beans,

corn and employment, some fifteen in

all." And thepast winter‘a number of

boys formed an amateur cow testing





association. Each member weighs and”





records the feed and milk in the barn

at home, but runs his butter-fat tests

and figures up his records at school as

part of his regular class-room work.





In discussing these interesting and

distinctive phases of consolidated

school work we must not. forget the

academic background of English,

mathematics, history, language, and

science, all of which is -sufficiently

high—grade in Goodrich .to place the

school on the university list of ap-

proved-high schools.



There is still another point in which

Goodrich enjoys a rather enviable rep-

utation and that is in her music. Art-

ists and concert companies, having

performed here, invariably comment

on the general appreciation of good

music. At least one reason for this is

to be found in its school. Every boy

and girl every day receives twenty

minutes of musical instruction. Be-

sides this there is a girls’ and boys’

glee club, and a seventeen-piece or-

chestra. From thirty to forty free

piano lessons per week are given in

the school to interested pupils. The

teacher who directs all this—we’ll ad-

mit she is exceptional—also teaches





,Latin, history and geography in the





high school. How the young people

do respond to this opportunity for mu-

sical training! And how much it adds

to their preparation for enjoyable

living! 1



Having touched upon the technical,

the literary and the aesthetic side of

the school activities we must not fail

to mention the physical training. Most





g farming children get exercise enough,





’tis true, but few of them have that

poise and grace that comes from per-

fectly coordinated minds and bodies.

That is a matter. of training. As we

study more about psychology and

learn that every thought demands a

muscular response we have a part of

the new addition, permits every pupil

some regular physical recreation’not





   

 





teacher. The school also, has a basket

ball team, both for girls and for boys.

And in summer their baseball team,

composedas it is of farm boys, holds

its own among the schools of the

, country. ‘ _



Thus far in our discussion we have

centered our attention on the school

itself. Every week the men of the

town-meet for” an hour of play in the

gymnasium, with a monthly banquet

served by the domestic science depart-

ment. EVery month the parent-teach-

er’s association furnishes a clearing-

house forgschool needs and for school

interests. Farm organizations and in-

stitutes find in the school a conven-

ient and'natural meeting place. A

group of ten of the leading fellows in

the school are organized as a Y. M. C.

A. club, under the leadership of the

superintendent. In the words of their

purpose they seek “to create, main-

tain and extend throughout the school

and community ”high standards of

Christian character.” ‘ One of the

means of service they decided upon

as the promotion of a lecture course

which was very well received and the

profit from which went toward ath-

letic equipment for the school. Thus

we see that a consolidated school from

its very nature is the focus for a large

number of community interests—so-

cial, recreational, educational, and re-

ligious.



The consolidated school at Goodrich

is. beyond the experimental stage. It

has the enthusiastic support of its

students and the taxpayers. It is pay-

ing dividends on its investment. Yet

it does not feel that it has arrived! It

is, not satisfied with itself. It is al-

ways in the front rank of progressive

community thinking. It expects to

change, radically perhaps, but always

for the better. It does prove, how—

ever what can be done, economically

done, efficiently done, with the latest

resources, both human and material,

in every rural community in Michigan.





H E GOT RATTLED.





 





’FIRE broke out at the home of



one of our neighbors. It was not

in the main building when we got

there, but was in an ice house that

had been built up against the back

end. It was a close call for every

building on the place.



When the sky was lighted up every-

where, an old chap, who lived there,

went around calling in the queerest

tone, “Where’s the lantern! Where’s

the lantern.” He didn’t need any lan-

tern. There was light enough. I could

not help laughing to myself, but really

it was no laughing matter.



We were all fighting hard to stop

the fire, but that man who wanted the

lantern was just rattled. If the safety

of the buildings had depended on him,

they would all have gone down in

ashes. The thought hit is to keep

cool and steady in such a time. You

can do a lot more, and do it easier.—

BEN FRANKLIN + said:

“The Safest Investment is a de—





posit of fertility in the soil bank;

it is surest and pays the best.”





EN FRANKLIN “broadcast” these words of



wisdom ’way back in the 18th century, yet at

the present time the waste of farm fertility is ap-

palling. Authorities have estimated that from 1/3 to

/2 of all our barnyard manure is absolutely wasted,

the annual loss totaling about $800,000,000. Nor is

this loss confined to poorly managed farms; it occurs

on many that are operated efficiently otherwise.





What is the solution? It is not enough simply to .

put manure on the fields in haphazard manner. A

Nebraska farmer who kept records for 3 years dis-

covered a difference of 252 bushels of corn in favor of

machine spreading over pitchfork spreading. This

on two 6—acre plots. Think what a difference is

possible on your acreage. You cannot afford to

overlook so important an item!

you the McCormick-Deering Manure Spreader in a

size to fit your farm. We recommend purchase and

regular use of this money-making machine to re-

store and maintain the fertility of your crop acres.

Miss Rawlings made an appointment

for Thursday at 'three. Paula said

she’d go with him and went. She

dressed for Dallas O’Mara and the re-

suit was undeniably enchanting. Dal-

las sometimes did a crayon portrait,

or even attempted one in oils. Had

got a prize for her portrait of Mrs.

Robinson Gilman at last spring's por-

trait exhibit at the Chicago Art Insti-

tute. It was considered something of

an achievement to be asked to pose-

for her. Paula’s hat had been chosen

in deference to her hair and profile,

and the neck line of her gown in def-

erence to hat, hair, and profile, and

her pearls with an eye to all four. The

whole defied competition on the part

of Miss Dallas O’Mara. -





Miss Dallas O’Mara, in her studio,

was perched on a high stool before an

easel with a large tray of assorted

crayons at her side. She looked a

sight and didn’t care at all. She greet-

ed Dirk and Paula with a cheerful

friendliness and went right on work-

ing. A model, very smartly gowned,

was sitting for her.





”Hello!” said Dallas O’Mara. “This

is it. Do you think you’re going to

like it?”



“Oh,” said Dirk. “Is that It?” It

was merely the beginning of a draw-

ing of the smartly gowned model. “Oh,

that? it, is it?” Fifteen hundred dol-

ars.





“I hope you didn’t think it was go-

ing to be a picture of a woman buying

bonds.” She went on working. She

squinted one eye, picked up a funny

little mirror thing which she held to

one side, looked into, and put down.

She made a black mark on the board

with a piece of crayon then smeared

the mark with her thumb. She had

on a faded all-enveloping smock over

which French ink, rubber cement, pen-

cil marks, crayon dust and wash were

so impartially distributed that the

whole blended and mixed in a rich

mellow haze like the Chicago atmos-

phere itself. The collar of a white silk

blouse, not especially clean, showed

above this. On her feet were soft kid

bedroom slippers, scuffed, with pom-

pons on them. Her dull gold hair was



, carelessly rolled into that great loose

knot at the back. Across one cheek

was a swipe of black.



“Well,” thought Dirk, “she looks a

sight.”





Dallas O’Mara waved a friendly

hand toward some chairs on which

were piled hats, odd garments, bristol

board and (on the broad arm of one) a

piece of yellow cake. “Sit down.” She

called to the girl who had opened the

door to them: “Gilda, will you dump

some of those things. This is Mrs.

Storm, Mr. De.Iong~—Gilda Hanan.”

Her secretary, Dirk later learned.

was something splendid, something im-

pressive, something magnificent about

her absorption, her indifference to ap-

pearance, her unawareness of outsid-

ers, her concentration. on the work be-

fore her. Her nose was shiny. Dirk

hadn’t seen a girl with/a shiny nose

in years. They were always taking

out those little boxes and things and

plastering themselves with the "stuff

in ’em.



“How can you work with all this-

crowd around ?”



“Oh,” said Dallas, in that deep rest-

ful leisurely voice of hers, “there are

always between twenty and thirty”———

she slapped a quick scarlet line on the

board, rubbed it out once—“thousand

people in and out of here every hour,

just about. I like it. Friends around

me while I’m slaving.”



“Gosh!” he thought, “she’s—-—— I don’t

know—she’s—”



“Shall we go?” saidflPaula.



He had forgotten all about her.

“Yes. Yes, I’m ready if you are.”



Outside, “Do you think you’re going

to like the picture ?” Paula asked. They

stepped into the car.





“Oh, I don’t know. Can’t tell much

about it at this stage, I suppose."



“Back to your office?”-



“Sure.”



“Attractive, isn’t she?”



“Think so?”





So he was going to be on his guard,

was he! Paula threw in the clutch





viciously, jerked the lever into second





speed. “Her neck was dirty.”



“Crayon dust,” said Dirk.



“Not necessarily,” replied Paula.



Dirk turned sideways to look at her.

It was as though he saw her for the

first time. She looked brittle, hard,

artificial, small, somehow. Not in phy-

sique but in personality.



The picture was finished and deliv-

ered within ten days. In that time

Dirk went twice to the studio in

Ontario Street. Dallas did not seem

to mind. Neither did she appear par-

ticularly interested. She was working

hard both times. Once she looked as

he had seen her on her first visit. The

second time she had on a fresh crisp

smock of faded yellow that was glor-

ions with her hair; and high-heeled

beige kidv slippers, very smart. She

was like a little girl who had just

been freshly scrubbed and dressed in

a clean pinafore, Dirk thought.



He thought a good deal about Dallas

O’Mara. He found himself talking

about her in what he assumed to be a

careless offhand manner. He liked to

talk about her. He told his mother of

her. He could let himself go with

Selina and he must have taken advan-

take of this for she looked at him in-

tently and said: “I’d like to meet her.

I’ve never met a girl like that.”



“I’ll ask her if she’ll let me bring

you up to the studio some time when

you’re in town.” .



It was practically impossible to get

a minute with her alone. That irritat—





nouniinomr ern'a'com-mvr‘iif . '





"ed him; People. were always drifting .m-

and' out of the studio—gueefrkimp’ort-

ant, startlingmeople; 1i tle,‘ dejected,

shabby people. An , impecunious ' rrl

art student, red-haired and wistful , at

Dallas was taking in until the girl got

some money from home; a pearl-hung





grand-Opera singer who was condes-'





vcending to the Chicago Opera for a

fortnight. He did not know that'Dallas

played until he came upon her late

one afternoon sitting at the piano in

the twilight, with Bert Colson, the

blackfa‘ce comedian. Colson sang

those terrible songs about April show-

ers bringing violets, and about mah

Masha-ha-ha-ha-ha-my but they didn’t

seem terrible when he sang them.

There was about this lean, hollow-

chested, sombre-eyed comedian a poig-

nant pathos, a gorgeous sense of

rhythm-a something unnameable that





.bound you to him, made you love him.





In the theatre he came out to the edge

of the runway and took the audience

in his arms. He talked .like a boot-

black and sang like an angel. Dallas

at the piano, he leaning over it, were

doing “blues.” ,The two were rapt,

ectsatic.~ I got the blues—I said the

blues—I got the this or that—the some

thingorother -——- blue — hoo-hoos. They

scarcely noticed Dirk. Dallas had nod-

ded when he came in, and had gone

on playing. Colson sang the cheaply

sentimental ballad as though it were

the folk-song. of a tragic race. His

arms were extended, his face rapt. As

Dallas played the tears stood in her

eyes. Wlien they had finished, “Isn’t

it a terrible song?” she said. “I’m

crazy about it. Bert’s going to try it

out tonight.”



“Who—uh, write it?” Dirk asked p0-

litely. .,_



Dallas began to play again. “H’m?

Oh, I did.” They were were off once

more. They paid no more attention

to Dirk. Yet there was nothing rude

about their indifference. They simply

were more interested in what they

were doing. He left telling himself

that he wouldn’t go there again. Hang-

ing around a studio. But next day he

was back.



“Look here, Miss O’Mara,” he had

got her alone for a second. Look here,

will you come out to dinner with me

some time? And the theatre?”





“Love to.”



“When?" He was actually tremb-

ling.



“Tonight.” He had an important

engagement. He cast it out of his life.



“Tonight! That’s grand. Where do





you want to dine? The Casino?” The

smartest club in Chicago; a little pink

stucco Italian box of a place on the

Lake Shore Drive. He was rather

proud of being in a position to take

her there as his guest.



“Oh, no, I hate those arty places. I

like dinner in a hotel full of all sorts

of people. Dining in a club means

you’re surrounded by people who’re

pretty much alike. Their membership

in the club means they’re there be«

cause they are all interested in golf, or

because they’re university graduates,

or belong to the same political party

or write, or paint, or have incomes of

over fifty thousand a year, or some-

thing. I like ’em mixed up, higgledy-

piggledy. A dining room full of gam-

blers, and insurance agents, and act-

ors, and merchants, thieves, bootleg-

gers, lawyers, kept ladies, wives, flaps,

traveling men, millionaires——every—

thing. That’s what I call dining out.

Unless one is dining at a friend’s

house, of course.” A rarely, long

speech for her.



“Perhaps,” eagerly, “you’ll dine at

Her dinner gown was very smart,

but the pink ribbon strap of an under-

garment showed untidily at one side.

Her silk brassiere, probably.-, Paula

would have—but then, a thing like

that was impossible in'Paula’s perfec-

tion of toilette. He loved the way the

to show her firm white arms. It was

was one Dallas. There were a dozen

same.

were going to meet the gamin of the

rumpled smock and the smudged face

or the beauty of the little fur jacket.

Sometimes Dirk thought she looked

like a Swede hired girl with those

high cheek bones of hers and her

deep-set eyes and ther large capable

hands. Sometimes he thought she

looked like the splendid goddesses you

saw in paintings—the kind with high

pointed breasts and gracious gentle

pose—holding out a horn of plenty.

There was about her something genu-

ine and earthy and elemental. He no‘

ticed that her nails were short and

not well cared for—not glittering and

pointed and cruelly sharp and horrid-





ly vermilion, like Paula’s. That pleas-

ed him, too, somehow. K

“Some .oysters?" he suggested.





“They’re perfectly safe here. Or fruit

cocktail? Then breast of guinea hen

under glass and an artichoke—~”





She looked a little Worried. “If you

—suppose you take that. Me, I'd like

a steak and some potatoes au gratin

and a salad with Russian—”



“That’s fine!” He was delighted.

He doubled that order and they Icon-

'sumed it with devastating thorough-

ness. She ate rolls. She ate butter.

She made no remarks about the food

except to say, once, that it was geod

and that she had forgotten to eat

lunch because she had been so busy

working. All this Dirk found most

restful and refreshing. Usually, when

you dined in a restaurant with a wom-

an she said, "Oh, I’d love to eat one of

those crisp little rolls!"



“You said, “Why not?”



Invariably the‘answer to this was,

“I daren’t! Goodness! A half pound

at least. I haven’t eaten a roll with

butter in a year."



Again you said, “Why not?”



“Afraid I’ll get fat.”



Automatically, “You!

You’re just right.”



(Continued next week).





Nonsense.

, Christianity. It Was p’fmct-uated



_ swith; adVenture. It‘ was 'never

an... - at least net for long; The New

Testament is, Of " course, only a partial

recOrd of what took place. Hundreds

of events occurred of which nothing is

said. Luke says, you will remember,

that he selected his material and put

~ down those matters of which he had

direct ‘knowled'ge,"only. Just why, is

it that much of modern Christianity is

the opposite of first century Christian-

ity? Why is it dull, slow‘, obtuse, want-

ing point, power and pungency? Hap-





pilya it is not. all that ._way.- Some of .





it is as dynamic as any of the days of

the apostles.



.This week’s lesson is one of the

high spots in those glorious, hurrying



‘day's. Simon Peter is delivered from



, prison. To get the

full force of what

took place, we’

* must know a little

of the background.

The reigning king,

Herod Agrippa,

was the grandson

of that Herod who

had slaughtered

the b a b i e s of

Bethlehem, when he sought to slay

the infant Christ. Herod Agrippa was

anxious to hold his job. He had a

turbulent and rebellious people, who

were not in love with any king. To

get himself in solid, he observed all

the Jewish feasts, and in short, tried

to make of himself as much of a Jew

as he could. Hence he took to perse-

cuting the Christians. That would be

popular with large numbers of his sub-

jects. He executed James, the brother

of John. Next, he arrested Peter. The

execution of James struck a popular

chord, and that was an easy way of

gaining the popular ear. Mark, he did

not execute Peter during the feast

days, but kept him in prison until af-

ter the holy season was past.



Thus, the king had seized two of the

three of the Inner Circle of the band

of twelve; the three who had always

been favored above the rest, in their

intimate companionship with Christ.

And now, in the hour Of'witnessing for

their Lord, two of the three were still

in the lead. They were first to suffer.

Peter was in prison, but the members



'of the church, gathered here and there

in little hands, kept praying for him.

They prayed in earnest. They expect-

ed something to happen. Something

happened.





 





ETER was considered a. big prison-

er, and extra precaution was taken

to see that he did not escape. He was

chained to the guard, andan addition-





al guard stood at the outer door. Esv





cape seemed as likely as if he were in

the bottom of the sea. “But prayer

was made without ceasing of the

church unto God for him.”



Glance at the prayer experience of

a modern apostle. A missionary in

Africa tells how he was standing on

the shore of a river in Portuguese

West Africa in 1914, and prayed for

some members of his own family, who

had never been Christians, and were





in fact opposed to the church and re--





ligion. He says, “I took ofi my helmet

and looked across the Atlantic and

said to the mountains which blocked

the minds of my loved ones from

Christ, ‘Be thou removed and cast into

the sea,’ and prayed in the name of

Jesus that He would send His convinc-

ing word in power into the hearts of

, my beloved brothers and sisters. A

few weeks later I got a wonderful let-

ter from my eldest brother, a keen

business man, who had graduated from

. Christianity into Agnosticism, telling

me that his, wife and children ,had

been brought to Jesus. Today her

an earnest Christian men influencing





 





r was arena-shy: N. .4; L ,

received} letters from my two other.

-‘ brothers, new they and their wives

and children had knelt together at the





- '





altar and given themselves to Christ.

Then I received word that my younger





brother had begun preaching the gosw .





pel. My sister and her youngest son





'had also given. their hearts to the





Master.” This same man has had very

beautiful and extraordinary results in





his missionary work among the na-

tives. of West,Africa.. I introduce his





experiences here to remind us that we

Serve the same Christ as did the folk

of Simon Peter’s day.



'We must do eyerything that lies

Within our poiver. God’s province is

that which lies outside our power.

When the angel' came that night he

bade Peter put on his clothes and do

it quickly. He stood by while the daz-

ed and anxious fisherman put on his

shoes, and then both hurried out. They

passed the first and second_\ guard,

then came to the iron gate. Says Sir

W. Robertson Nichol, “A certain monk,

who had given his whole life to the

redemption of captives, could never

read these words without bursting into

tears. How often it happens that after

manifold _ experience of relief and

emancipation, when it seemed as if

the way were clear at last between us

and the heavenly Salem, we come to

the iron gate. A new difficulty inter-

venes, so'formidable, so strange, so

intractable that it seems to turn past

experiences of grace into futility. But

He who has delivered us in six trou-

bles will deliver us in seven. The iron

gate is not like an iron wall, and a

gate is meant to let us out as well as

to let us in.”





00 good to be true. That sums



up the remainder of the story.

Peter hurried to the home of Mark’s

mother, where a prayer meeting was

in session. This woman apparently

had some means. A maid came to the

open door, whose duty it was to at-

tend to that. Moreover, the house was

so large that “many gathered togeth-

er.” Further, it was not the door of

the house at which Peter was knock-

ing, but the gate of the court in front

of the house, which was kept locked.

Putting all these things together, it

appears that Mark’s mother was a

woman of some substance. But the

girl was so excited that she forgot to

open the gate, but ran back in, saying

that he was there. Perhaps she ran

into the meeting and told them to stop

praying. But the Older heads were as

completely amazed as hers. “And they

said unto her, Thou art mad.” Then

they said it must be his angel. This

is a hint of a common belief among

the Jews of that day, namely that a

guardian angel is assigned to each

man. See Matthew 18:10 and Heb-

rews 1:14. These good Christians did

not expect their prayers to be answer-

ed! At least so it looks. No, not that.

They were taken off their feet by the

suddenness of it and the manner of it.

God ‘does not answer the way we ex-

pect. His way is much better than

ours.



Out of deep experience comes en-

couragement for others. It was after

this that Peter wrote his epistle. Of

Christ he says, “Whoin having not

see ye love; in whom, though now ye

see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice

with joy unspeakable and full of

glory.” I Peter 1:18. “I_f any man

sufier as a Christian, let him not be

ashamed.” 4:16. Was he thinking of

his deliverance from jail, as he wrote

these words?

. F Or seven carefree years young John Graves worked

in the car shops at Grenville, spending his dollars as

-fast as he earned them. Soon after his promotion to

foreman, he was married and moved‘to a little white

house on Orchard Avenue. Life was happier than

ever, but spare dollars were not more plentiful, espe—

cially after a third member was added to the family.

Then came a day when the plant superintendent

showed John the wisdom of saving a part of his cam-

ings, for the satisfaction it would bring, and for pro-

tection against emergencies and old age. He and his

young wife, for the first time, learned the difficult art

of economy, and finally they came to know the joys of

saving and of safe investment. >

A FAMILY COOPERATIVE.





 





E are a family of eight children



and all have a chance to share

in the work of the home, for many

hands make light work. '



The children have their special work

to do each day. Brother, aged eight,

fills the woodbox each morning, also

gets the potatoes ‘from the cellar so

they will be handy when time to pre-

pare them for dinner, carries out the

garbage and does many an errand to

save weary steps.



Sister often helps with the dishes,

also dusting, bed-making, fills the

lamps and does many other duties

about the home which do not overtax

her strength, but gives them more of

an interest in the home.



Of course, we don’t get the children

to help by going after them with ham-

mer and tongs, for “you can catch

flies easier with molasses than with

vinegar,” but if we say, “Mary, let’s

get our table set for dinner,” then

Mary is anxious to help.





But. if we’d command and say,

“Mary, set the table!” then Mary

would shirk from her duties. Also, if





there are buttons from her aprons, I

say, “Let’s see how nice and neat you

can sew them on.” It then is a. pleas-

ure to her for she feels, then, she is a

part of the making in the home.—

Mrs. H. B. ~





 





SHORT CUTS.





 





What profiteth a man if he owneth

Don’t black the cook-stove. Give it

top) about twice yearly and see how

Needs no polishing.



Save the parafi‘lne as it is removed

from the tops of jelly and preserves,

TO REMOVE TARVlA.





 





Please tell me how to remove tarvia

from my rose and broadcloth dress.—

Mrs. V. M. '



Either turpentine or chloroform is a.

solvent for this sort of a stain. I

would try it first on a sample, how—

ever, so that it might not injure the

color. The chemists use unusual com<

pounds in making dyes at the present

time and one has to do trial work first

to be sure that a stain remover will

not affeCt the color. If you use tur-

pentine, sponge the stain or immerse

it in the turpentine and rub. Chloro-





 





form may be applied in the same way.

. AN EASY SAVING.





 





~HEN we go to the drug store or

‘ to the. paint store for anything

which we wish to buy in a bottle—~the

business man must of necessity charge

us for the container. The druggist’s

bottles cost him hundreds of dollars

every year,‘and he must include their

price in the article which he sells.





One woman who realized this, made

a. practice of thoroughly cleaning

every empty bottle, by washing it and:

boiling it in soap powder and washing f

soda. When it was sparkling and

clean and dry, she put it in a covered

box in her basement. Then whenever

any member of the family wished to

buy something at the drug store from

the bulk stock, a clean bottle of suit-

able size and shape was taken along.

Many times the druggist simply ex-

changed, keeping the bottle brought,

and handing out one in which the cam-

phorated oil or spirits of turpentine,

or other supplies had already been

put up.





In each case, an allowance of five

cents was made for the bottle. In the

course of the year, enough money was

saved to subscribe for a favorite mag-

azine. It was just the difference be-

tween.~ having it and not having it.—

E. M. G.

T be Happy Toad Play: Traffic 0013



HE three wanderers’ from Wood-

land, Bruin, Rolly Rabbit and





Brownie, made a queer proces-

sion as they started early in the morn-





ing on their adventure to see new

countries. Bruin was in the lead, then

came Rolly Rabbit, and trotting along

behind was the Little Brown Bear.

Over his shoulder Bruin had a big ban-

dana, tied to the end of a stick, in

which he carried his lunch and cloth—

ing. Rolly Rabbit had a middle-sized





 





“Where Are You Going, Wanderers?"

Asked Sir Hoppy Toad.





one just like Bruin’s, and Brownie’s

was a wee bit smaller.





They walked all day and until late

in the afternoon. The weather was

warm and they became quite tired, so

sat dowu in the cool shade of a big

oak tree to rest.



“How long before we get 'to a new

country?” asked Brownie.



"Perhaps today or tomorrow you

may see some new country," said

Bruin, “and meet some. strange peo—

ple.” .



Right then a strange person did ap-

pear. The adventurers heard a hop,





x.





Woodland





hop, hop. Soon the little gray strang-

er hopped upon a white satin stool

right at the foot of the oak tree where

they were resting.



He cocked his head to the right and

then to the left and eyed each trav-

eler in their turn.



“Where are you going, wanderers?”

asked the stranger who was none oth-

er than the Sir Hoppy Toad.



Brownie was at first a little fright—

ened at this strange fellow, but he was

so small he decided he could not harm

him.



“We are going to find a new coun-

try,” said Rolly Rabbit. “But it must

be we are there, for I never say you

before.”





“This big oak tree has been my

home for a long time,” said the Hoppy

Toad as he opened his mouth and gob-

bled up a big fly that was buzzing by.

“Many travelers stop here for advice

and tell me about their travels.”



“Perhaps you can tell us the way to

this new country for which we are

looking,” said Bruin.



“If you are looking for a new coun-

try, the very best way is to follow

your nose. You will not have to go

much farther before you find many

things that are strange to you. Keep

your eyes open and look to the right

and left at each cross-road is my only

advice,” said the Hoppy Toad.



Then this queer little gray toad

ju'mped down from his white satin

stool, hopped away the same as he had

come.



And the three Woodland Wanderers

picked up their knapsacks and follow-

ed their noses to a new country.





 





It's a dull axe you can’t grind on

W liar Some Merry Ctr-clan T 16ml} About It





here at Fairview The young folks ,

here number about eighty. and noth- ~-.. _. _

ing’ is looked forWard to by them as

much as the Fourth of duly, when an '





By Josephine WelIs, M. c., Dowaglac,

Michigan. '



In a rural community my idea of

celebrating. the Fourth of July would





' be for the farmers to have a get~to-





gather picnic. This could be held at

the nearest lake in the community and

everyone would be] asked to contribute

to the entertainment, to make-theipic-t

1110 a. big success, each person would





dress to represent some person famous,





in colonial days. One could dress as

in Indian, another as George‘Washing-

ton, and many others. They could go

to the picnic in wagons and for a. pic-

nic dinner have the fare of the colon-

ists. The games could be old—fashion-





ed and should be those that could be





enjoyed by all. In the afternoon if the





law did not prohibit, the older boys

some older person could shoot fire-

crackers, firearms and all dangerous

weapons should not be allowed. Later

in the afternoon old songs could be

sung. Upon the return home in the

evening I believe everyone would say

they had immensely enjoyed the

Fourth of July.



By Sylvia Schomakcr, M. C., Standish,



Michigan.



As the government has put a stop

to all fireworks, I think we should

have exercises in each vicinity. Mak-

ing noise is not the way to celebrate.



Very few soldiers would care to see

the fight again, nor hear the guns fire.

Therefore, few like to hear fireworks,

because it would remind them of the

great guns, and make the visions of

the war again appear in their mind.



Fireworks do not, prove you'are cel-

ebrating the victory of the “Great

Struggle for Independence,” for few

children, or even adults, think of why

they are making the noise.



WaShington, “The Great Leader,”

would not approve of the fireworks

because, as we all know, he was a.

quiet sort of man. .-



My idea. is as follows:



1. Parade, everybody join.



' 2. A meeting near the water; flag

raising; sermon; putting flowers on

the graves of soldiers, and throwing

wreaths on the water for sailors.



3. People as a. whole sing the Na-

tional Hymn. Entertainment, patriotic

songs; poems; stories.



4. Final speech.



After the program spend the even-

ing around the fireplace, telling stories

of history.





 





By Ruth Yoder, Mio, Michigan.»

My idea of the best way to spend

the Fourth is as we young folks.,do





a





 

 

 

 





’can have a day off and be tpgther.





On the day bef0re the Fourth eyery- I





one is seen getting ready for the great

event Preparations for the big dinner





are made, each taking What he Wants,





The community furnishes the ice

cream.

so, at nine O’clock, on the morning

of the Fourth everyone moves toward

the lake which has been chosen.

Here is a good swimming place and

a. lot of boats. There are also a. lot

of games to be played so that every-





One can enjoy themselves to their own

way. »





After a lot of exer'cise, what is as





refreshing as a big dinner? In the

afternoon is more playing, till about

two o’,clock when the program begins

which has been carefully prepared by

the program committee. So the day

passes and before we are aware of it

the golden day darkens into night and

we all go home, tired, but rejoicing

over a. good time.





Our Letter Box





 





 





Dear Uncle Frank:





Hello! Uncle Frank and cousins. I

am sending in a quarter for the fund.

I think that the Merry Circle fund is

very nice. I think that all of the

Merry Circlers should do all they can

to make those poor sick children hap-

py. —Bess1e Bell, Eaton Rapids, Mich.



I am glad you think as you do about

the fund. The fund is growing slowly

but it’s growing.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Don’t you think that people of to-

day need “more civil government?” I

do, for many reasons. They need it

to know how our government is run,

how to vote, what the laws of the land

are, who they vote for, why, and when

to Evote.b



very ody ought to know these

things. Children ought to know, for

they are going to vote before many

years roll around, and they will want

to know how to 'vote. I do, anyway.

I’m glad I can study it, too.



Our grandmothers and grandfathers

didn’t have the chance to study it for

they never had it. So we ought to be

glad we have it to study.



It’s surprising how many people go

to vote and don’ t know how, especially

the people that come over from other

countries.



It won’t cost much to buy a “civics”

book and read it.



My motto is, “More Civics.” ' "‘



Men need it,



Other countries need it,



Rural folks need it,



Women need it,



City people need it,



Immigrants need it,



Village people need it,



I need it,



Country people need it,



So who don’t need it?



Well, I must close. ——From an M. 0.,

Lillian Detwiler, Petoskey, Mich. ‘





Civics is a good study. Everybody

should know more about government

and the fundamentals upon which it is

based. If they knew more about it

they would likely be more Willing to

cooperate to make‘it a success.





Dear Uncle Frank.



I am writing to oppose some of Wil-

ma Fry’s last letter. I think if Miss

Fry would take a trip to Hollywood

and visit Mary Pickford, Norma Tal-

madge, Jackie Coogan, and many oth-

ers who have become stars, she would

find that they are just as common, or

maybe more so, than she is. I fact,

I would like to be a famous movie

star myself.



Now for magazines. I am reading a

story called, “The Flapper Wife "

HELP AT HOME CONTEST.





 





HERE is always work to do on the



farm, especially during the sum—

mer time. It is also good for young

folks to have something to do. With

work to be done there isn’t m’uch trou-

ble in finding something useful to do.

I believe that it would be a. good thing

if Some of the boys and girls told what

they did to help out at home. So the

title of this contest is, “What I do to

Help at Home.” Make your paper not

more than 250 words in length. Write

on one side of the paper only and put

your name and address in the upper

left hand corner of the paper. If you





are a Merry Circler, don't fail to put

TOO MUCH SUN.





 





S the first hot days of summer



come there is real danger for



some susceptible individuals who

are obliged to work in the fierce rays

of the sun. Persons who have ever

suffered from sunstroke or heat pros-

tration, or those having high blood

pressure are especially sensitive. Even

the one in normal health does well to

take his dose of summer sun by de-

grees. Take a little rest in the hot-

test part of the day. Seek some jobs

that can be done in the shade. Get a

little more sleep than usual. Eat less

meat and substitute green vegetables

and fresh fruit. Drink cool water as

required, but be careful as to ice cold

drinks. Let the man in poor health

be especially careful. Deaths from

“pyrexia” (which includes sunstroke

and heatstroké) are very commonly

those of people Whose health was not

at par.



In sunstroke there is a severe con-

gestion of the brain. The face is red

and the skin is burning hot. The suf—

ferer should be placed in the nearest

[shady spot, lying down but with the

head raised. Cold water should be ap—

plied (ice if it can be obtained) and

,if the case is very serious it will pay

to rush the patient to a hospital where

he can have cold baths. But it is very

important that the patient himself be

kept from exertion.



Heat stroke requires very different

treatment. The patient is in a condi-

tion of shock or collapse. The heart

is very feeble. The skin is covered

with clammy sweat and the extremi-

ties are probably cold. The sufferer

must be put at absolute rest, lying

down in the coolest place available.

He needs stimulation. The clammy

skin must be, rubbed; it may be nec-





,~ essay to cover him with a, blanket

‘ w [lo the stimulation is going, on. If





 





H £6 rr/ga





he is able to swallow, stimulants may

also be given by the mouth, and in—

stead of cold they should be hot. With

both patients rest is very necessary,

and with either it is very important

that he take time enough for complete

recovery before being again exposed

to the hazards of hot weather work.

Removing the cockerels from the

late’hatched flock as soon as possible

is a great help in growing the pullets.





Broilers are usually going down in,





price and the'sooner they are market-

ed the less the feed ‘bill. Then the

pullets have more room in the colony

houses and on the range. Form the

habit of weighing several cockerels oc-

casionally to determine their weight.

This prevents holding them longer

than necessary.

NeedPlenty of Shade.



Late hatched chicks need plenty of

shade. If they receive a daily baking

in hot, dry yards the growth is slow.

The feathers soon become rough and

the birds lack appetite. The motrality

rate increases and the chicks, which

should makeflearly winter layers will

only furnish later summer exercise

with the spade.



Corn, sunflowers or raspberries

make fine shade for chicks in hot

weather. They like to dust in cool

moist garden loam better than in the

hot dry dust in the road. If artificial

shade is provided with boards or can-

vas, be sure the protection will not

blow down in the first Windstorm and

smother a. lot of chicks.



Chick Casualties.





Do not leave deep pails of scratch

grain or mash sitting on the range

where chicks are growing. The chicks

will jump into the pail and gradually

eat the feed toward the bottom. Soon

a lot of chicks b'egin jumping down

on top of them. The final result may

be a. dozen smothered and smashed

chicks lying dead in the bottom of the

pail. .



Avoid leaving deep water pails

where young chicks can drink. Fre-

quent losses may result when young

pullets lose their balance and fall into

a pail of water. Watch the dry mash

hoppers and see that the chicks do

not eat their way inside the hopper if

the mash clogs. Then the first land-

slide Of dry mash will be apt to smoth-

er and crush a lot of nice chicks.



Do not stand boards, high feed hop-

pers, sacks of feed or brooder house

tracks where they can be blown over.

A chick is very adept at being in the

wrong place when something happens,

and the more casualties ,we. can pre-

vent the greater the chances for mak-

ing the business profitable.



Look under the brooder stoves at

the rear and be sure that no dead

chick becomes covered with litter.

Spoiled animal matter is a common

cause of--~sick chicks and nature does

not seem to protect them from eating

such material when they have the op-

portunity.



If the chicks run around corn cribs

where there is any mouldy grain they

are apt to have serious digestible dis-

orders. Sour grain and dirty sour

milk must be avoided.



One of the best ways of keeping

chicks healthy. is tofeed a balanced

dry mash of some kind; Chicks must

fill up on something to keep them com-

fortable and growing, If they have

the dry mash containing bran, char-

coal and the various easily digested

‘ - ’ Fattenin§”Poul_try.



: The Comen Station . advises; the. fol-

lowing ration for fattening poultry

with milk: Fifty pounds corn meal,

twenty pounds white wheat middlings

and ten pounds of ground heavy oats.

This can be mixed ,into a sloppy batter

at the rate of a quart of milk to a

quart of .mesh. By weight use two

pounds of. milk"to one pound of mash.

This ration has been found to give

better results with’ milk than with

meat scrap.





When meat scrap is substituted for

the milk, use fifty pounds of corn meal,





,twenty pounds of white wheat mid«





dlings, ten pounds of ground heavy

oats. This is mixed into a batter at

the rate of one and one-half quarts of

water to two quarts of mash. By

weight it is equivalent to three pounds

of water mixed with two pounds of

mash.



The general practice in fattening is

to pen up the birds to reduce the exer-

cise and soften the muscles. The soft

fat tends to take the place of muscu-

lar tissue and makes the poultry meat

much more appetizing. The birds to

be fattened can be fed all they will eat





eagerly twice a. day, and the fattening ‘





continued for about two weeks. A

shorter time’may be sufficient, depend-

ing on 'the weight of the birds and how

much fat they seem to need when first

penned up.





I find that dealers like fat hens but

they should not be baggy or heavy

with fat. The backs should not be

rough and thin nor padded out with

lumps of fat. Just a nice smooth-bod-

ied hen is the kind that is right. City

buyers of poultry in most towns do

not like to buy poultry meat and find

they have bought great lumps of

greasy fat. It is the plump breast,

legs and thigh that form the appetiz-

ing features of the Sunday dinner.





Before placing either broilers or

hens in crates it pays to treat the

birds for lice. Have the feed troughs

outside of the fattening crates to keep

the feed as clean as possible. Some-

times colony houses can be used for

fattening poultry. In that case open

up the front as much as possible to

keep the houses cool. Keep the floors

as clean as possible with straw litter.

Hook the feed troughs to the wall so

the hens cannot walk in the feed. Un-

clean feed, overcrowding in the fatten-

ing pen, or spoiled sour mash may

throw the birds off-feed and make prof-

itable gains in weight very difficult to

obtain. "





 





EYE INFLAMED.





 





I have a hen whose eyelids are swol-

len, and there is a yellow mass around

eyeabll that has pushed the eyelids

back from the eye. She looksgood,

seems healthy in every other way. The

gyeTball‘seems clear and bright—Mrs.





, Take tissue paper and press gently,

close to the yellow mass under the lid.

It will often pop out and the inflam-

mation around the eyelid will leave.

Such accumulations are often caused

by some foreign body under the lid,

such as a bit of straw, an oat bull

or flake of bran. It sets up an in-

flammation and the puss gathers in a

hard yellow lump.

from California paid $4,125 for eight

head; two Ohio breeders spent $1,850

for two head; two Wisconsin men

parted with $1,550 forthree head; an

Iowa man gave $525 for one animal; a

breeder from Pennsylvania gave $775

B. Ainger, of Northville came second

with $5,850 for four head, among

which was the senior bull calf, King

two, have alfalfa growing on their

farms. For the past month Elof Bjork-

man had the high cow in the associa-

tion. This cow, a grade Guernsey, pro-

duced 1,361 pounds of milk containing

70.8 pounds of fat, the milk testing 5.2

per cent. The best herd belonged to

Erick Johns-on. This herd, consisting

of thirteen grade Guernseys and H01-

steins, gave an average of 929 pounds

of milk, which tests showed to contain

37.6 pounds of fat.

His five pure-bred Holsteins averaged

147,377 pounds of milk and 496 pounds

of butter-fat. J. E. Post had the indi-

vidual high cow for the association.

His pure~bred Holstein produced 22,503

GUERNSEYS SELL AT LANSING.





 





HE First Annual Consignment Sale

of Michigan Guernseys was held

at the Michigan State College on

May 27. This was the first state—wide

consignment sale to be held under the

auspices of the Michigan Guernsey

Breeders’ Association. Upwards of 600

interested people attended the sale.

The forty-seven head, more than half

of which were heifers and calves, sold

for a total of $10,295—an average of

$219.04. The top price of the sale was

received for the cow, Betty Golden of

Endicott Farm 9107, and was consign-

ed by John Endicott, of Birmingham.

She was purchased by Harry J. Kruse,

of Armada for $405.





The bidding was very brisk. The

forty-seven head were sold to thirty-

one buyers, many of whom made their

initial purchases of Guernseys. Wm.

S. Cobb, of Jackson, was the heaviest

buyer, taking four head for an average

price of $201.25.

WHEAT

The government’s June 1 forecast





showed 407,000,000 bushels of winter

wheat and 254,000,000 bushels spring

wheat, or a total crop of 661,000,000

bushels. The average of four unoffi-

cial forecasts was 664,000,000 bushels.

With the carryover of old wheat about

10,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels below

normal, and about 650,000,000 bushels

needed for domestic use, there is vir-

tually nothing left for export.



The immediate response of the mar-

ket to the official forecast was the

sharpest decline in a long while. Spec-

ulatively, the mbarket was overbought.

Rains have relieved some of the sub

soil moisture shortage in the spring

wheat states. Relative weakness at

Winnipeg and Liverpool as compared

with Chicago in the last two weeks

had already placed our prices some-

what above the world level. The tech-

nical action' of the market indicates

that it is headed for a still lower level

before a turning point will be reached.

The recent high points are not likely

to be passed for some time, but a turn

for the worse in the Canadian or Euro-

pean crop outlook could bring a sharp

reversal at any time.





RYE





The rye crop estimate was 53,000,000

bushels, or about the same as the

quantity exported in the current crop

year. European new crop prospects

are excellent, however, stocks on ocean

passage are fairly large so that fresh

export sales are quite small, and the

visible supply increased slightly last

week in spite of a sharp drop in the

receipts at primary markets.





CORN





Receipts of corn at primary mar—

kets have declined sharply in the last

few days, indicating that the after-

planting movement may already be

past its crest. Demand has shown no

special change but the sudden weak-_

ness in wheat checked a rising ten-

dency in corn. The new crop is mak-

ing favorable progress in most .sec-

tions. Rains late in the week arrived

in time to prevent ‘much injury to corn

from the dry weather.





OATS





The oats crop .Was severely‘damagw





' ed! by hot, dry weather early ianune

in addition to the injury from low tem-





Light tInltchers o”: w o o I'IA‘. - o





 





   





.





peratures in May. Thecrop has prob-

ably deteriorated a good deal since

making the observations on which the

official forecast was based. This fore-

cast showed 1,295_000,0‘00 bushels, as

against- 1,542,000,000 barVeste'd last

year and afive-years average of 1,328,-

000,000 bushels. Reports of poor pros-

pects for the new crop in some of the

important oats, surplus states, as well





 





as of a short hay crop, coupled with





an excellent cash demand and broad

speculative buying, caused a sharp ad-

vance in oats prices early last week.

The market has been unable to hold

the full advance, however. ‘ .





SEEDS . ;

The recent hot, dry weather. has

BUTTER ~

Butter prices eased off somewhat

last week in spite of the strong statis-

tical situation. Tradesentiment’is for

lower prices; but it is not ‘expecteii

that they will sag far from the-pres-

ent level. The production outlook

lends strength to the market.» Recent

hot, dry weather which burtgpas‘itf ‘

and retarded milk f production‘has'. be .

followed by much cooler weathér

which is not favorable to production.

The butter make has been holding at

about steady at only a little above the

corresponding time a’ year ago. The

report of the American Creamery But-





ing in the middle west killed. coma’Kflter Manufacturers’ Association showed





tions are more promising in the north-

west where the dry spell bas been less

pronounced and prospects are fully up

to average at this time of year.





FEEDS





The feed market developed a firmer

tone last week. Lighter offerings of

mill feeds tended to advance prices.

Widespread reports of meadows and

pastures drying up are enhancing the

prospects for summer feeds. . "





' POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg prices were easier last week.

Fancy eggs were firm but ordinary

qualities were plentiful with the mar-

ket for them unsettled. Receipts at

the leading markets fail to show any

decrease, and consumptive demand is

Slow. The quality of current receipts

is running poor, and high class storage

stocks may be drawn upon earlier

than usual this year. The recent hot

weather probably affected egg produc-

tion, which should be reflected in re-

ceipts during the next week or two.

Any indication of a considerably small-

er egg supply would strengthen prices.

Holdings of eggs in storage on June 1

totaled 7,707,000 cases, compared with

6,875,000 cases on the same date a

year ago. The excess over last year

was materially reduced during May.



Chicago—Eggs, miscellaneous 29c;

dirties 261/2c; checks 26c; fresh firsts

29@30c; ordinary firsts 2885c. Live

poultry, hens 251/50; broilers 44c;

roosters 13%0; ducks 220; geese 13c;

turkeys 28c.





Detroit.—~Eggs, fresh candied and





production "last week slightly larger





than in the same week a year ago.





Buying for storage is progressing more

rapidly. The movement into storage

since the first of June has been about

one-fifth larger than in the same time

a year ago despite the higher prices.

Quality is reported to be excellent.



Prices on 92-score creamery were:

Chicago 4264c; New York 43c. Fresh

creamery in tubs sells for 39@42%c

per pound in Detroit. ‘





POTATOES





The potato market is lower than a

week ago. Shipments of old. potatoes

are fairly steady, with Maine,furnish-

ing nearly half the supply. The out-

look for mid-season potato markets is

promising. Plantings are smaller than

a year ago and drought has reduced

the yield in some southern states so

that supplies yet to come from these

sections will scarcely equal last year’s

output. Acreage of early potatoes .in

Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Okla—

homa is no larger than last year and

plantings in south central Nebraska

are lighter than in any recent year.

A smaller acreage is expected in

southwestern Idaho. Northern round

whites were quoted last week at $1@

1.25 per .100 pounds, sacked, in the

Chicago carlot market. Southern Bliss

Triumphs were held at $2@2.50 per





100 pounds.

CROP ESTI MATSS LOW.





HE United States Department of



Agriculture issued a report June



9 on crop conditions as they were

on the first of June.



The report indicates that a sharp

decline in the crop prospects took

place during the month of May, chiefly

as. the result of unusually dry weather

in the corn belt states. Although the

final yields of most crops depend very

largely on the weather between the

first of June and harvest, the official

forecasts indicate that the weather

during this period must be much more

favorable than usual in order to permit

the yields per aim of wheat, oats, bar-

ley, hay, apples, peaches and pears to

equal the average of the last ten years.



Disregarding corn and some other

late planted crops for which forecasts

have not yet been made, general crop

prospects on the first of June were

particularly unpromising in the corn

belt states, Colorado, New Mexico and

parts of Texas.



Prospects for winter wheat declined

about nine per cent during May and

the condition of the crop on June first

indicated a production of 407,000,000

bushels, or not much over two-thirds

as many bushels as were harvested

last year.



Spring wheat has been suffering

from lack of moisture and the June 1

condition indicates a probable crop of

only a quarter of a billion bushels, or

ten per cent less than the harvest of





becoming extinct will be the subjectS‘ .
