MICHIGAN had 8,305 manufacturing
plants when the last census was taken.
These plants employed 471,242 people and
utilized 1,202,128 horse power in their
operation. While the State ranks seventh
in total manufactured products, it holds an
even better place in the manufacture of
many of the most important articles used
in the home, the industrial world, and on
' the farm. The automobile, acknowledged
.to be a leading industry today, is one of .these. Our State supplied
53 per cent of the entire Nation’s output in 1919, and undoubtedly
supplies a greater percentage than that today. It also leads in the man—
ufacture of adding and calculating machines, engines, salt, sand-lime
brick and fibre flax. The value of the engines built is over $100,000,000 _ ,
r‘ annually, and represents 22 per cent of the entire output of the country. ‘3 4
{:53 Three-eights of the United States’ salt production comes from Michigan, ‘
the value of the State’s finished product being over $14,000,000.

In the manufacture of conCrete mixers, electric cranes, blowers and
fans, -and essential oils, our State holds second place. Only two other
states make a greater quantity of brass, bronze and copper products and
druggists’ preparations, Michigan supplying 14 per cent of the former
and 9 per cent of latter the combined annual value of which is nearly
$100,000,000. In the fourth rank are condensers, machinery used in
making brick, pottery and clay products, and 8.6 per cent of the
*3 Nation’s output of chemicals.

Sentiment as well as utility plays a part in Michigan manufacturing
industries. The State ranks seventh in the manufacture of pianos and
or ans and fifth in other musical instruments. In the production of
g; baiers’ machinery, the state holds fifth place as it also does in the manu-
facture of cement. In 1919, nearly $10,000,000 worth of cement was
'1 produced, which was 5 1—2 per cent of the United States total. The in-
“? dustry has grown rapidly since and the State is reputed to hold third
place now.

DETROIT, JULY 25, 1925
CURRENT COMMENT

ANY well mean

ing and worthy
people are deeply in-
terested in the social
uplift of the farmer.
Much thought and
considerable money is being spent to
find the real social conditions of rural
communities and a means for their
improvement.

That there are social conditions in
many farm communities that ought to
be improved is a fact that few who
are qualified to judge will deny, and
any effort to find a means to make
this life better should be encouraged.

It is much less difficult to get social
cooperation in small towns and cities
than in the country, from the fact
that the community is more compact.
it is less effort to get people together,
but even at that, all town communities
are not beyond the need of social up-
lift. The farmer’s need is not alone
in this respect. However, organized
labor and social workers have made
much progress among laboring men.
But the laboring man is not the only
man in our cities and towns that need
their social natures developed. Pro-
fessional men and business men and
merchants are not without need in
this respect. As a matter of fact,
sociability ought not to be a class at-
fair. It should be based on broader
lines. It should be truly a community
affair where all can mingle and be
interested and improved.

The automobile and good roads .have
done much to help the farmer in a so-
cial way. It is only a matter .of mo-
ments now, to hours a few years ago,
for a farm community to get together.
All that is needed now for better so-
cial conditions in farm communities
is the desire and the leisure. It takes
time to attend to community affairs,
and time represents money. If the
farmer had more leisure, the question
would, in a great measure, solve itself.
The desire for social betterment can
easily be created, but the practical
part of the question—the leisure and
the price, is another question.

to other work, we are of the opinion
that it will pay sufficient dividends in

ularly in the diet. Through improved
transportation and the extension ct

greenhouse farming, éity people are,

now provided with this type” of food
the year round. Health conditions in
theflcities' show that the most favor-
able results have followed the change.

The farmer can improve his_ oppor-
tunity along this line. He may not

attain to the ideal food supply condia

tions of the cities, but he can do much
to extend the supply of fresh garden
stuff from "the few weeks that now
generally prevail, to as many months.
One step in this direction is the ad—
ding of a fall garden.

The list of plants that might be in—
cluded in such a garden are winter
radishes, peas, carrots, beets, early
cabbage, turnips, rutabagas, lettuce,
Swiss chard and spinach. It goes with-
out saying that the best results will
follow the planting of theSe seeds on
soil that is abundantly supplied with
all necessary available plant food.

Prejudice quently observed in
. farm meetings, as

w elsewhere, that well-
Unsafe meaning men often

permit prejudice, rath-
er than good sense, to dictate their
position on points at issue.

The person who allows prejudice to
determine his course may gain some
temporary advantage, but in the long
run he would have gained more by
following good common sense. In both
public and private business, the man
who takes the common sense course is
the one who invariably leads.

The history of cooperative enter-
prises show that successful organiza-
tions are those in which sensible
managers seek in every way, to render
good service. However, it too fre-
quently happens that after competition
is gone, and there is a local monopoly
of the business being conducted, the
affairs of the members are cared for
little or no better than they were
under the interests displaced.

There is no time in the history of
the mutual business enterprises of our
farmers when good sense can be safe—
ly cast aside. The spreading of sup-
porting propaganda may keep a cer—
tain type of leader in control for a
time, but sooner or later the truth will
out, and then, in the day of reckoning,
it will be found that those who allow—
ed their good sense to guide them will
have contributed more to the advance-
ment of cooperation than did the work
of prejudiced men.

government _and to
the public, particularly to the farmers.
The revenue from this source has
declined instead of increasing, as the
authors of the bill had calculated, the
service has not improved, and the
parcel post business has shrunk ma-
terially.

Among the protests coming to the
post office department and to other
agencies are letters from shippers and
receivers of baby chicks. A special
handling charge of twenty-five cents
per package was added to the CUSt of
sending day-old chicks and other per-
ishables through the mails. These pro-
tests say that the shipments are not
receiving any special attention; in
fact, many complain that the service
is even worse than before the extra
charge was added.

Others complain that the service
charge of two cents per package is
causing them to do without things
they formerly ordered through the par-
cels post. From the decrease in the
revenues it would appear that this cur-

orOus manner in which Other interests
are urging upon this committee and
upon congressmen the idea of advanc-
ing the rates where it will’hurt them
least, make it a. matter of importance
for farmers and farmer organizations
to immediately bring their protests to
the attention of this committee and to
their respective congressmen. Unless
this be done the increases will likely
go where they went last winter, where
the protests were least.

HE world is being

The entertained b y
what is taking place

Monkey at Dayton, Tenn, 3
Business little burg where the

world’s greatest
thought on man’s past, present and
future is being discussed.

The matter is especially interesting
in that there is a wide difference of
opinion on how we came to be. The
facts are as they are, no one man can
dispute them, but there is a wide dif-
ference in the interpretation and ac—
ceptance of the facts.

Intepretation has caused differences
in religion, such heated differences
that there has been war unto death in
the endeavor to uphold certain con-
ceptions of religious thought as right.
Interpretation also is making this clash
between certain religious thought and
scientific thought. Many say that
there is no conflict between science
and religion, in fact, that scienec
helps to substantiate religious belief.
Others can see nothing but barriers
between them.

One may see in nature evidences
that science has at least some founda-
tion. The hog we have now is not the
same as he was. The wild horse and
a well-bred Percheron show consider-
able difierences. Even man is chang-
ing, especially in thought. We tolerate
none of the things which were permit-
ted in the dark ages. The recent war
is an indication that an attempt to
return to dark-age methods was fu—
tile. Casual observation Will indicate
that life is ever changing. Science
has evenproven that some religious
beliefs are based on facts.

But Whether man descended from
monkey, or monkey descended from
man, or whether neither are related,
are things which will continue to
cause heated arguments, often danger-
ous in their results. However, these
arguments prove nothing. They do
not change facts. The truth will pre~
vail and will become evident to all in
due time, whether that truth is now
as the fundamentalists think it is, or
as the scientists conceive it.

The American farmers, and particu-

states, are cheated out of millions of
dollars annually through the substitu-
tion of unadapted imported seed for
domestic stock.

To correct this evil a bill will be in-
troduced in congress at this coming
session to provide for a distinctive
system of branding or dyeing at the
time of importatiou of seeds that are
not generally adapted to our climate

Notable leaders from home and

Employes and students of cooperative

The study will include a presentation

Wear and Tear

WEAR and tear is what we do ta

our clothes. We wear "em and
then we tear ’em. Sofie says she is
always patchin’ things up fer me. And
I kin say patched-up things ain’t as
good as new ones, even if the patches
is fancy ones. It’s wear and tear what
makes patches necessary. It’s wear
and tear what makes good clothes rags
after a while.

It's wear and tear what puts autos
on the junk heap, and it’s wear and
tear what puts a lot 0’ folkses on the
junk heap. Just because of wear and
tear every dog has

 

 

h i s day, t h e 11
some other dog
has his because

the other dog “is
worn out.

With clothes
the wear and tear
is on the outside,
but with life it’s
on the inside.
When we wear out on the inside, we
are junked. Maybe we’re patched up
fer a little While, but even fancy patch-
in’ by the M. D. don’t make us as good
as we. used ta be. It’s funny with the
M. D.’s Sometimes they do their
patchin’ by cuttin’ a piece out.

Wear and tear comes from frictshun.
So, if we wanta live long we gotta do
those things what help ta eliminate
frictshun. With oughtoes good oil will
help ta do it, but with life doin’ right
things is the best frictshun eliminator
you kin find. Right eatin’, right think-
in’, right drinkin’, right workin’, and
such like is the oil 0’ life.

The trouble with lots 0’ folkses is
that they dOn’t give themselves half a.
chance. They’re meaner to themselves
than to anybody else. They just kinda
run themselves ragged. And they’re
nice, well-meanin’ folkses, too, but they
don’t know how mean they are to
themselves.

There ain’t goin’ ta be no steppin’
on the gas as far as my life is con—
cerned. I’m just goin’ aIOng within
the speed limuts, so maybe I won’t get
as far as others in the same time. But
I'm a thinkin’ I’ll have a longer time
ta get there. and I kin enjoy the scen-
ery while l'm agoin'. l’m figuring on
livin’ a sort 0’ lubricated life, so ta
speak. HY SYCKLE.

Michigan has experienced one of the
greatest‘e’xpansions in alfalfa growing
the, past few years of any state in the
Union. In fact, this state is now the
leading alfalfa growing state, east of
the Mississippi. Farmers having soils
which need no correction in order to

growing a fairly goodacreage. How-
ever, fmers having soil which needs

inaculated was sown on a well-pre-
pared seed bed before alfalfa could be
successfully grown.

“Sweetening’? the soil has been a
laborious and expensive process. Here
we have the reason why “Larry” Liv—
ingston, extension specialist in agri-
cultural engineering from the Michi-
gan State College, has started out this
year with the slogan, “Use what you
have to get what you want.”

In most places where acid soil is
found in Michigan, nature long ago,
has placed a supply of material (marl
or “White gold,” as Mr. Livingston
nearby which Will correct
this acidity. '

In cooperation with the various
county agricultural agents and the
farm crops department of the Michi-
gan State College, Mr. Livingston is

least, somewhat slow in putting their
soil in proper condition.

Marl has long been known as one of
the forms of lime which is used to
correct soil acidity. Finely ground
limestone and sugar factory lime are
the other forms most generally used.

Marl is found in various localities
but usually in a swampy or lake area.
This makes the digging of it rather
difficult. Mr. Livingston is
strating how to solve the problem by
the use of the Musselman marl bucket
designed by Prof. H. H. Musselman,
of the Michigan State College.

Early last winter, Mr. Livingston
was asked to come to Tuscola county
to demonstrate marl mining according
to a plan which he then outlined.

Early this spring two good marl beds
were located in the county, one on the

. By John

W. Sims

Joseph Chantiny farm on Shays Lake
in Dayton tOWnship, and the other on
the Frank Hosmer farm on Mill Lake
in Millington township.

R. A. Smith, the state geologist, sent
men to survey the beds. These geol‘
ogists found both beds quite extensive
in area, ranging in depth from four to
eighteen feet of marl, and testing‘from
ninety to ninety-six per cent lime (cal-
ciuni carbonate). They also found only
from six to eighteen'inches of muck
over the marl.

One hundred and fifty yards of marl
was sold to the neighbors in each of
the localities. Some bargained for only
enough to treat one acre of soil.

The marl digging crew arrived on
schedule, set up their machinery and
began operations. They were sched-
uled for three days in each place, the
second day of digging at each place
being designated as “field day,” when
visitors. were especially invited and
asked to bring samples of both surface
and subsoil to be tested for lime re-
quirements.

Many, fearing they would be unable

' to come on field day, visited the dem-

onstration on the first day; however,
on the second day there was a crowd

watching the operations at all times,‘

some coming from ten to twenty miles.
At the afternoon meetings Mr. Living—

ston explained the marl digging equip: '
ment, and L. D. Kurtz and Paul Miller

talked on “Growing Alfalfa.” Scores
of samples of soil were tested while
many farmers purchased Soiltex test-
ers to test their own soil .

What of the result? A few said, “I
have a bed of that same stuff on my
farm, Bill! Let’s get it tested and if
it is good we will try some of it.” Oth—
ers were asking where they might get
marl near home, while still others
were doubtful as to whether it could
be spread until a manure spreader was
finally loaded and it spread marl as
easily as if it had been loaded with
manure.

Because of the demonstrations, there
is now much interest in the use of
marl in southeastern Tuscola county.
Approximately 400 yards of marl has
been dug which will be used by thirty

or more farmers. After they have been '

shown how it can be dug, how it is
spread on the soil. and have found out
the results of its use on from sixty
to seventy acres in each neighborhood,
I am sure the farmers of Tusccla coun-
ty will conclude that they can well
afford to “Use what they have to get
what they want,” and they will want
more alfalfa and sweet clover.

Large Bean Acreage Forccastcd
Bean Producer: Tonto Step to

ICHIGAN farmers have planted

an estimated area of 613,000

acres of beans this year, an in-
crease of ten per cent over last year.
This is the largest acreage on record
for the state and comprises nearly
forty per cent of the total for the
United States, which is 1,584,000. The
Michigan condition is eighty-two per
New

per cent; Wyoming, ninety-eight per
cent; Montana and Idaho, ninety-four
eighty—five per
cent. ‘

The prospective production for Mich-
igan, based upon the preliminary acre-
age estimate and condition of July 1,
is 6,283,000 bushels. This crop, if at-
tained at the end of the season, will
be the second largest for the state,
being exceeded only by that of .1923,
when 6,532,000 bushels were harvest—
ed, according to a statement issued by
L.Whitney Watkins, commissioner of
Agriculture, and Verne H. Church,
United States Agricultural Statistician.
The average acreage for Michigan is
slightly over 450,000 and the average
production, approximately 4,500,000
bushels. For the past eleven“ years,
the average returns per acre were $35,

$15,795,000 to Michigan growers.

The above facts which were present-
ed by Prof. J. F. Cox to a group of
representative bean growers gathered
at the Michigan State College, was an
important factor in stimulating these
men to start a producers’ organiza-
tion. At this meeting various phases
of the bean situation, particularly as
to the disposition of the crop, were
considered in a session that was re—
plete with frank statements and strong
arguments by growers and handlers
who view the situation from a variety
of angles.

The following committee was au—
thorized to organize a growers’ associ-
ation and to censider plans offered for
Jhe improvement of marketing condi-
tions. This committee is composed of
one representative from each been-
growing county, the delegates from
each county selecting their own rep-
resentative as follows: Joe Spitsber—
gen, Missaukee county; R. Price, Sag-
inaw county; Philip O’Connell, Sanilac
county; F. A. Lundy, Midland county;
E. C. McCarty, Huron county; W. J.
Hazelwood, Isabella county; .0. A.

ty; Lee Townsend, Gratiot county;
Michael McHugh, Genesee county;
Samuel Langdon, Clinton county. This
committee holds a meeting at the Ag-
ricultural College on July 20.

The chief topic of discussion at the
meeting was the bean pool, an outline
of which was given in a previous issue
of this journal. While little construc-
tive argument was offered, a number
of questions and suggestions were pro—
pounded, and it is likely that the prop—
osition will be presented to the above
committee at an early date. The prom-
ise of a record crop for 1925 increases
the need for every possible assistance
in moving the crop from producer to
consumer. Whether a propflrly con—
ducted pool would aid in stabilizing
the trade during a season of heavy
production is a matter for this com-
mittee to pass upon.

 

EXPLAINS EFFECT OF FERTILIZ-
ERS. '

 

F ARMER‘S should not be discourag?
ed over the use of fertilizers if
they do not get profitable increases
this season. Much of the fertilizer
that was applied to corn, sugar beets,
beans and other spring crops still re-

mained out of solution for several
weeks after the plants began to grow.
This, of course. caused the plants to
come on more slowly and also less-
ened their resistance to insect pests
and plant diseases.

Recent local rains have helped very
much in bringing the plant'food into
solution and with even a moderate
amount of rainfall from now on, much
good will be derived from the use of
fertilizers.

The proverbial saying, “with every
evil there is some good,” can be ap-
plied to the use of fertilizer during a
dry season. The fertilizers that were
applied this spring will not be a total
loss for when the rainfall is light the
leaching of the plant food from the
soil is less and the residual effects on
the following crop will be much more
marked.

The fertilizer companies have done
a good business in Michigan this
spring and it is hoped that the farmers
who have just begun to use fertilizers
will not lose faith but will give it an-
other trial under more favorable sea-
sonal conditions. Those who have used
it and know what to expect will con-

tinue to use it regardless of the poor.

EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY.

 

I worked in a paper mill two years
and seven months, and it was pretty
hard work. I was in good health when
I went there, but I had to push mate-
rial weighing 1,600 to 1,800 pounds.
It caused ruptures so I have to wear a
truss, and they pain me quite badly.
One day they let me go. I don’t know
what for. Now, is there any way I
can get compensation out of them for
my injury? If so, let me know.——-E. II.-

If the employer was operating un-

. der employer’s liability act, there is

no liability unless notice of the injury
is given to the employer within three
months from the time the injury oc-
curred, and claim for compensation
was demanded within three months
rom the time the damage developed
to the knowledge of the employe, nor
in any case unless within two years
from the time of the injury. Other-
wise the period of limitation is three
years from the injury. Make claim
to industrial accident board, Lansing,
Michigan—Rood.

ROADSIDE STANDS.

 

Can eating places be put on state
highway road limits? If so, can they
be put in front of anybody’s farm or
place, or will they have to be put
back off from road limits?—R. P.

The owner of the abutting land pre-
sumably owns to the center of the
'road, subject only to public right of
travel and may make any use of the
road that does not interfere with pub-
lic travel. He would have a. right of
action against anyone who uses the
premises for other than public travel.
—Rood.

LlABlLITY ON SALE.

 

I bought a brood sow on March 27,
1925, at an auction sale. The bill read:
“One brood sow with pig.” I asked
the owner when she was coming in
and he told me the seventeenth of
May. She did not have any pigs. I
would not have bought her if I had
known she was not going to have pigs,
pigs being worth $5.00 apiece. I wrote
to the original owner, but he did not
finsfier. What can I do about it?—

There being an express warranty of
the quality of the animal sold, the sell-
er is liable for the difference between
the price paid and the value in the
condition in which the hog was at the
time of the sale—Rood.

A RENTER’S PROBLEMS.

 

I have read the Michigan Farmer
for a. good many years. I come to you
for an answer from your legal depart-
ment. I have a. renter on my farm for
one year on one-half share. Each is
to furnish half, such as live stock,
poultry, seed, fertilizer and threshing
bill. Now what I want to know is, if
he cuts the hay will he have to furnish
half the clover seed that is seeded
this spring? I haven’t had any-egg
money and he is sowing oats, didn’t
sow any fertilizer, and he was to fur-
nish a cow and he hasn’t done that.
l furnished oats, all of them. Has he
broke}? the lease, or what can I do?

While the tenant will not derive any
benefit from this year’s seeding he,
no doubt, is securing hay from fields
seeded in the past, the seeding of
which would take the place of the new
seeding to be put in this Year.

Under these conditions the tenant
should furnish a portion of the‘seed

 

 

 

' . -..a’w....;a.. an.
a... ‘"':...".‘:. can“. c.-. r. a.

,"l

 

for the new meadow not-flown; the
usualarea sewn. f " »- ,
i If the tenant only‘rents the farm for
one year and the‘general practice is
to secure more than one year's crop
from the meadow, the seed cost should
be distributed over the period of years
the meadow is need for hay. Thus, if
the meadow is used for hay for three
years, the tenant would stand one-half
of one-third of the original cost of
seeding.

If the tenant is not living up to the‘
agreement, I would call his attention
to the fact. Then, if he refuses to fol—
low out the agreement you have a.
right to make complaint and bring the
matter to court for settlement. HOW‘
ever, it would'be more satisfactory to

settle the matter outside of court if,

possible—F. T. Riddell.

POWDER POST BEETLES.

 

I have a large number of small in-
sects boring in my hard maple floor.
What can I do for them?—~C. M.

The insects which you send, and
which were found in the hardwood ma-
ple floor are powder post beetles.

These creatures tunnel in sap-wood,
avoiding heart wood. They will keep
on tunneling until the sap-wood is en-
tirely gone, if allowed. 1

I would soak as much kerosene as
possible into the wood, using an oil
0r oil gun to squirt oil into the open-
ings which come to the surface. You
will find 'the inside filled with dry
white powder, and kerosene oil will
creep along in the powder just like
ink creeps into a. blotter and the
fumes will kill the insects.

I will say this form of trouble is
getting to be quite common in Mich-
igan, and a. great deal of injury is done
each yearn—R. H. Pettit.

blight. Old men around here tell me
that there was practically no other
potatoe raised here at one tinie. If
they turn out well I shall save all of
them,~ for seed and raise them exclus-
ively for home use.

I have seen many potatoes come and
go. At one time we went wild over
White Elephants, then came the Bur-
bank, followed by the Rural New
Yorker, and the Carmen numbered
from one to six. For main garden use
I have gone back to a boyhood favor-
ite, the Early Rose, as all the later
fancy kinds have failed to come up to
the good old Early Rose.

I am raising sweet potatoes'again
this year. Since the southerners have
learned that they can dry and cure
their sweet potatoes, those varieties
are about all We get on the local mar-
kets. Our northern tastes simply can-
not bet accustomed to those sickly
sweet, sirupy Spuds from Dixie land.
We like best the dry mealy kind and
that is the kind I am raising. The
vines are running-all over the ridges
so sweet potatoes will soon grace the
table.

So far this has been the best corn
season and the poorest hay and oat
season we have had for 'many years.

field of alfalfa are sure sitting pretty

with timothy and clover produced the

PRODUCERS STUDY MARKET.‘

 

GROUP of fifty-four West Michi-
gan fruit and truck growers under
the guidance of agricultural agents of

Oceana, Muskegon and Ottawa coun?”

ties crossed Lake Michigan recently
as the guests of the P. & N. Naviga-
tion 00., and Milwaukee commission
merchants to study the market possi-
bilities of Milwaukee. Before their re-
turn many things were witnessed and
valuable lessons learned. ,

‘ The Michiganders watched ,sales
made, noted the type of buyers in the
commission section, and the quality
and price of produce purchased. The
growers noted without exception every
buyer was selecting the fruits and
produce which presented the best ap—
pearance, that is, fresh looking, good
color, firm, well graded and uniform
and well packed. Second grade stuff
simply did not move until late in the

‘day. A short time before the close of

the day bargain seekers came through,
picking up the best of the remaining
perishables at much reduced prices.
At the close, which is about noon,
there remained a sorry looking lot of
produce which would be worthless on
the morrow. The producer of this
left-over, poorly graded, poorly packed
and low quality goods doubtless re-
ceived a bill for the freight charges
and nothing for the produce or pack-
age. The grower who shipped good
quality produce, well packed, doubt-
less received a check and satisfactory
return. .

It was easily seen that practically
everything coming from the far west.
em or southern states was of uniform
quality, well graded and attarctively
packed, and found a ready sale.

A valuable lesson was learned by
the Michigan growers right there, and
all determined to go home and profit
by that lesson. Growers learned that
if a producer secures a satisfactory
price he' must first produce quality
goods, grade them right, then pack in
attractive packages. Commission men
stated they did not want second grade
goods shipped because they would not
sell, and detracted from the appear-
ance of the quality goods displayed.

The commission men advised the
visitors to keep second quality produce
a: home for live stock, or to dispose of
it in any other way they saw fit. They
pointed to second grade potatoes from
the south, stating these are selling for
$3.00 a barrel or less. The No. 1’s
sell for $4.50 and up., Every barrel of
seconds sold spoils the sale of a. bar-
rel .of No. 1’s. It costs as much for
package and transportation on one as
the other.

Any grower of fruits or vegetables
can‘learn a valuable lesson by study-
ing market demands in a commission
house and applying that knowledge
gained, at home. It makes no differ-
ence whether growers visi; Milwaukee
or any other large consuming center,
the lessons are the same at each place.
If every Michigan producer would
study market demands as did these
West Michigan growers, it would be
unnecessary to pass laws compelling
grading and marketing. All growers
would do it anyway—C. P. Milham.

4 Q Q

FARMING by old methods is hard, hard
work but tens of thousands of farmers
are fighting their way clear of the worst of
it by using reliable tractor power: Not only
are they doing farm work more easily but
they are putting the farm on a new money-
_ making basis:

 
 
    
   
    
   

   
  

 

   

heat cannot hurt the McCormick-Deering.

And then belt work! McCormick-Deering
tractors have plenty of power for threshing,
silo filling, shredding, baling, sawing, grind-
ing, etc., and they are designed as much for
belt as for field work. Do your own work at ~
just the right timé and work for the neigh-
bors, too, if you want to.

The McCormick-Deering tractor comes
to you complete with all the necessary equip-
ment—platform, fenders, adjustable draw-
bar, wide belt pulley, removable lugs,
throttle governor, brakes, and provision for
adding the great new tractor improvement,
the power take-of:

 
 
       
     
      
     

No man can realize the full all-around
value of the tractor until he uses one him-
self. Think of the time and work saved by
turning two or three furrows instead of one.
Do two or three- days’ plowing in one. Cut
down high labor costs. Speed up your field
work in rush reasons. Do not risk loSs of
your crops. Ten or twelve hours in the

Time Tested Windmill

The Auto-Oiled Aermotor has behind it a record of 10 years
of successful operation: In all climates‘and under the severest-con-
, ditions it has proven itself to be a real self-011mg

Windmill and a most reliable pumping machine.
An Auto-Oiled Aermotor, when once properly erected,
needs no further attention except the annual oiling.
There are no bolts or nuts to work loose and no delicate
parts to get out of order.

There are no untried features in the Auto-Oiled
Aermotor. The gears run in oil in the oil-tight, storm-
proof gear case just as theydid 10 years ago. Some refine-

mentshave beenmade,asexperiencehasshown the possibil-
ity of improvement, but the original simplicity of design has
been retained while greater perfection of operation has been
achieved. The Aermotor is wonderfully eflicient in the light
winds, which are the prevailing ones. The self-oiled motor works
, . ~ , . with practically no friction, and the wind-wheel of the Aermotor
- is made to run in the lightest breeze. It is also amply strong to
run safely in the strongest winds. In any condition of wind or weather you may be
sure that the Auto—Oiled Aermotor will give you the best of service. It is made
‘by the company which established the steel windmill business 38 years ago.

- WHOOPING COUGH.

 

A LTHO'UGH whooping cough is a

dangerous disease I do not fear
it very greatly if a child of normal
strength does not take it until after
he is five years old. Most of the fatal-
ities come before that age. It is very
important indeed, to keep young chil—
dren from exposure and I do not com
sider any precautionary measures too
extreme.

Vaccines against Whooping cough do
good. ‘They show results in lighter
attacks, yet they do not give real im-
munity. So I say that vaccines against
whooping cough have not yet made
good, and I say this knowing that the
vaccine does have some points of help—
fulness.

During the early stages of whooping
cough, while the child is feverish and

V has much irritation of the membranes,

he should be kept quiet, in a. well-ven-
tilated room, and should be in bed if
‘the temperature exceeds ninety-nine
degrees. This stage lasts from two or
three days to two weeks. When this
is passed, he may play outdOOrs, even
in cold weather, if properly dressed.
Do not close the bedroom at night.
Leave the Windows Wide open. The
patient may continue to occupy a.
sleeping porch, if such is his custom.
Children who vomit should have es-
pecial attention as to nutrition. Feed-
ing every three hours is better than
three full meals a day. It is better to
give food in liquid and semi—liquid
form, rather than dry, as dry foods
seem to excite coughing and reflex
vomiting.

The dangers of whooping cough lie
in several directions. Any fever com-
ing on suddenly in the course of the
disease, especially if accompanied by
an aggravation of the coughing, de«
mands prompt medical attention to
prevent pneumonia. Nutrition often
suffers from the frequent vomiting.
This demands special and frequent
feeding. Ear trouble should not be
siighted as it may result in middle-ear
disease. Children of good constitution,
given proper care by an intelligent
mother, generally get Well in from six
to ten weeks.

UNSHIELDED VACCINATION.

 

What do you think of a doctor vao
cinating a. person and not putting on
anything to protect the place? W'ouid
it not lead to blood poisoning?—S. Y.

I think not. Modern vaccinating is
done by a. very small puncture of the
skin, preferably with a hypodermic
needle. It should not produce any
bleeding. If the doctor keeps the pea

place dries it is quite safe to cover
with theordinary clothing without any

 

surgical dressing, shield, or anything
of the kind. ‘ ' .

“hi 11 man she was in

  

  

, love with, and
in addition longed for a career and-
didn’t know when the career was to
starter how. ,

. That was Betty's predicament on a
day in Junewhen-she came back to
Irenville with a Vassar diploma in her
trunk and the remainders of four,

years of education—and love affairs.

Betty was a girl in whose make-up
”there had been added a very liberal
,amount of affection, and although she
, had never been led astray because of

this, she found as the years went by

that she longed more and more for
, the one love affair that so many other
girls look for. Betty had wanted an
education and by careful planning her
parents had been able to give it to
her. But that was not all that Betty
wanted. She wanted love and a career.

Betty was just the sort of a girl
that most any fellow would fall in
love with. She was attractive, with
chestnut hair, lithe, full of thy t some-
thing that is called personal ty, and
possessed an ability to fit in any sit-
uation with ease. Those are the girls
that men fall in love with quickly, and
that had been the trouble with Betty
and her love affairs. At Vassar she
‘had inet many dandy young fellows,
and because of her personality they
had fallen in love with her and she
thought she had fallen in love with
them.

“I wonder if I have fallen in love
with these fellows, or have I fallen in

‘love with love?” mused Betty, as she
sat in the old familiar parlor of her
Ironville home.

She hadn’t been home «for so long
that it seemed good to be able to sit
in the quaint old parlor and think
back over the past. Her father and
the boys were out in the fields hard at
work, and her mother, dear old soul,
was in the kitchen working like a.
Trojan getting ready for a. big spread
in honor of Betty. So Betty could be.
alone for a while, and that was just
what she wanted. ~.

“And my career, where is that com-
ing from?” flashed through Betty’s
mind, as she sat there. “All these
years I have wanted to do something,
to be somebody besides just a country
girl, and now, with my college course
behind me it seems as far away as
ever.”

Betty thought of the scores of stor-
ies that she had written while at col-
lege and sent away, only to have them
promptly returned. Evidently story
writing wasn’t to be her career, al-
though she had dreamed of it for
years.

“Well, I might as well go up to the
attic and unpack,” resolved Betty.
“Maybe it will take my mind off of
things for a while.”

And so Betty went to the attic and
began to unpack the trunk that had
been her home and her everything for
the four years that she had been at
college. Because of the great distance
from her home to Vassar, Betty had
not been able to get home during the
summer vacations. As a result, her
trunk was like a diary of the last four
years.

“There’s the first frat dance I went
to,” thought Betty, as she picked up a
dance order from out of the trunk.
"That’s where I met Bob. He was a
dandy fellow, and. oh, how he could
dance. I should think a girl would be
happy to dance through life with him,
with his arms around you—~.”

Betty sighed and laid the dance or—
der down. She loved Bob, at least she
thought she did, but then, there was
something that made her just a bit un—
certain. \

A little farther down in her trunk
she came across an empty bottle that
had held the most fragrant perfume
that she had ever had. She picked up

1thedbottle and -held it tightly in her
an .

“Jack, you were just too sweet for
words to give me this,” thought Betty,
as she‘ surveyed it as she might a
small» statue of Jack. Her eyes snap-
ped as she looked at it, just as they
might snap if Jack were there. "And
to think of the sweet card you sent
with it. ‘Sweets to the'sweet’.” ,

But Betty sighed again and careful-
ly laid the bottle down. She loved
Jack, at least she thought she did, but
there was something that cast just a
bit of doubt over it—and then she
must be unpacking.

Betty unpacked and unpacked, and
presently she came to a tattered piece
of music. She eagerly picked it up,
and handling it as if it were some rare
manuscript studied it over and over
again.

“ ‘I’m in love with.’ That’s the way
Ted tried to tell me what he thought

"‘Oh, mother let me in and said you
Were up here unpacking. Told me to

.go right ahead up, and here I am. But

say, you lookdifferent. Those four
years have certainly changed you a
lot. Didn’t think you could be im
proved upon when yen left, butit cer-
tainly has done it”. .
“Now, Ken, there-you go with that
same. old blarney again. Remember,
we are grown up now,” said Betty.

To tell the truth Betty was some-
what taken off her feet. Kenneth had
also improved a bit from the time that

. she last saw him. His clothes looked

different and he seemed different, too.
He, too, had improved. -

“What under the sun are you doing
with all this stuff around here ?" asked
Ken, as he gazed at the varied assort-
ment of dance orders, music, empty
perfume bottles, and so on.

Ken noticed a little sigh escape from

 

 

of me,” mused Betty, as she surveyed
the tattered piece of music. “And, oh,
how Ted could play the saxaphone.”
Betty had been thrilled. She wonder-
ed whether Ted could thrill a girl all
her life with his saxaphone like he had
thrilled her on those several occasions
when she was with him. “Ted was—."

'But Betty never finished that sen~
tence. She loved Ted, at least she
thought she did, but something made
her lay the tattered piece of music
down and continue her unpacking.

“There’s the program of the dra-
matic show that Joe was in,” sighed
Betty as she picked up a program that
had been fingered and handled before.
“Joe was wonderful. How he said,
‘I love you’ in the play. Wonder if he
could say it as well to a girl if he
were alone with her?”

Betty sighed. Joe was one of those
quiet boys. He never said much, and
did less, but it seemed that his quiet-
ness appealed to Betty. She was in
love with him, or at least she thought
that she was, but she laid the program
down and continued her unpacking.

nd so on through her unpacking.
Be ty lived over again her countless
love affairs, at least she thought that
was what they were. And each time
she would unearth some memento she
would feel that he was her hero, only
to feel some little tug at her heart
ttellilng her to lay it down and forget
1 a .

“Betty, Betty.”

The voice seemed far away at first,
and then it came nearer and nearer.

“Betty, Betty.”

Still nearer came the voice and
presently Kenneth Wallace stood in
the attic doorway. Kenneth was the
one boy in Ironville that Betty had
thought she was in love with, but of
course that was before she went away
to Vassar. She had hardly written to
him while away, and knew little about
what had happened in those four
years. .

“Why. Ken, how did you get up
here?” asked Betty, 3. bit surprised
that he should find her in the attic
surrounded by a lot of odds and ends,
as well as clothes that she had been
unpacking from her trunk.

Betty. He noticed a different look in
her eyes. He saw a new expression
stealing over her face.
K“What’s the matter, Betty?" asked
en.
“Nothing. Just thinking of the days
at college, that’s‘all.”

“No, that isn’t allgBetty. I know
you better than you know yourself.
You are still the same old girl you
used to be. You always hunger-ed for
love, for some one real love affair
that would last and be permanent al-
ways. And you always talked of a
career. Well, here is where you get
both at once.”

Ken took Betty in his arms and
kissed her twice before she knew What
had happened.

Betty tried to loose herself from the
grip of Ken. But Ken held on more
tightly than ever.

h Betty tried to speak but Ken stalled
er.

“Listen to me a minute, Betty. Be-
fore you went away to college you said
that you loved me, and I told you that
I loved you. Four years at college has
made a big difference in you. You
have an education that I have never
had, but I have read a great deal in
the four years that you have been
away, and what is more than that, I
have worked harder than ever so that .
when you came back I wouldn’t be so
far behind you. Betty, I loved you
then and I love you now, more than
ever. .

Betty didn’t try so hard to loose her-
self from the grip of Ken. He had
brought back the whole past, the years
before she went away to Vassar, and
what is more, he had set every nerve
in her body a tingle, and that is more
than Bob, or Jack, or Ted, or Joe, or
any other man had ever done.

“But, Ken.” faltered Betty.

“No buts about it Betty. I think I

know you. You are longing for love,
for some one love. Tell me, do you
love me?”

“Yes, but—~” answered Betty.

“Never mind the buts, Betty. they
don't count now. I have a lot to tell
you, and maybe when I have finished
telling you what is on my mind, you
will see fit to change your mind about

is a real garage, with a little machine

you marry me and help me climb up
to where you are now?"

Ken had about swept Betty off her
feet. She had always had that one
fear, that after she had finished col-
lege she would marry some bOy in a
country town and that she would for-
ever sacrifice her chances of going
ahead. The idea of helping Ken climb
up instead of dropping dewn herself,
appealed to Betty.

That settled

Betty looked at Ken.

,“Yes, Ken.” Betty put her arms
around Ken’s neck and hugged him.
She had often wanted to hug before,
but it never seemed quite proper. Now
it evidently was and she was glad.

“Ken, when you came in I was un-
packing my trunk and living over all
the foolish. little romances that every
girl at college thinks she has. Now I
am glad that you came when you did,
so that I won’t have to dream any
more all alone, Now I can clean out
my trunk and burn up all the foolish
little things that I have been foolishly
keeping.”

“Yes, and we’ll burn up the trunk,
too. You will need a new trunk, Bet—
ty, when We take our trip.”

“Trip? What trip?” was Betty ex~
cited. .

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. I have to
go to New York on business and have
been holding the trip back until you
came so that we could go together. I
have been working out some new sorts
of garage advertisements and an ad-
vertising firm in New York wants me
to let them handle the advertisements
and sell them to garages all over the
country to use. I can’t write them, it
takes too much time, and besides it
is too hard for me. But that is the
career that you can have. You can
be my advertising manager and—”

“But, Ken, I don’t know anything
about advertising and garages, honest
I don’t.” !

“Maybe not, Betty, but I have been
reading some of the articles that you
have been sending home to the Hart
County News and I liked them. You
can write and that is enough. I can
tell you about the garages and adver-
tising business. Together we will work
the advertisements out."

“Ken, I know. We’ll unpack the
trunk and then put in it all the old
foolish things that I do not want any
longer. I’m tired of that old trunk.
anyway, the trunk of a thousand
heartaches. We'll burn it up together.
get rid of everything of the past, and
gust live for each other and the fu-

ure.”

“Lands sake,'that girl is acting dif-
ferent since she came back.”

Mrs. Caldwell stood watching Betty
and Ken. They stood hand in hand
watching the old trunk go up in flames
over in a field to one side of the house.

“That must be one of them city
ideas, burning up your trunk.”

"N the lesson for this week we see
' how the Christians of an early day

dealt with a critical'situation. It
might have .been a church quarrel,
“that saddest of all things,” but it
wasn’t. The men had too much sense,
too much good judgment, too much re-
ligion, to permit it. ,

This is 1925, the sixteen hundredth
anniversary of the Council of Nicea,
which also settled a near—schism in the
church. The Council of Nicea was at-
tended by about three hundred bishops
in the year 325, and was attended by
the Emperor Constantine himself. It
seems to us now as though the ques-
tion over which they became so excit—
ed at times, and over which the de-
bates waxed not, was almost too aca-

' - demic, too theo-
olgical for such
intense interest.
But t i m e has
proved that this
council was after
all of p rim a ry

importance. The
question was, is
Christ like God.

 

. of the same sub-
stance as the Father, and co—eternal
with the Father, or‘is he less than
God, and, as it were, but the divine
messenger? It was decided that Christ
is God, “very God of'very God,” as the
words council phrased it. and of the
same substance as the Father. It is
now quite evident that had the council
decided otherwise, Christianity would
in all probability have dwindled into
a sect, and might by this time have
been drifted over with the dust of
time, and been forgotten.

There are questions before the
church now, of almost as much inter—
est as were the questions of that day.
Look at the fundamentalist contro-
versy- One would be very extreme if
he were to say that there are not good
people on both sides. Happily, one
can be a fundamentalist or a modern—
ist, and love God with all his soul, and
work for Him. The question of evolu—
tion is similar. Good people are on
both sides. If one believes in evolu-
tion, he simply believes that God took
the slow and gradual method of crea-
tion. If he does not believe in evolu-
tion, he holds to the theory that the
Creator created matter and life in a
moment of time. God is behind the
act of creation, in both cases. I can-
not compel you to believe my way,
and you cannot force me to believe
your way. And if we are sensible, we
won’t try to compel each other to
gluink thus and so. It is a question for
the scientists to settle. It need not
destroy any man’s faith. I know how
I believe, and why. But I am Willing
that my neighbor shall believe other-
wise, and I will let him borrow my
monkey—wrench, my garden hose and
my oil can, even my hand-saw if he
will promise to be careful. The church
cannot afford to have divisions over
intellectual questions. A church quar-
rel, local or general, is a scourge.
There is always a better way to handle
the question under discussion.

N the days of Paul the question of
keeping the Old Testament law arose.
Should followers of Christ keep the
old law; that is, retain circumcision,
observe the sabbath (Saturday), pay
tithes, observe the ceremonial wash-
ings, and a lot more, or should they
live a freer life, relieved of all this
ceremonialism, retaining only their dis-
cipleship of Christ? The latter is
.what Paul and ,Barnabas had been
teaching their Gentile c0nverts. They
observed baptism, of course, as Christ
was baptized, and to a large extent
they were beginning to observe Sun-
day as a day of worship, inasmuch as
_ Christ rose from the dead on that day.

Our W ee ly' demon—43y N,

overboard, as far as its forms were

A. McCum
Tobe certain, many Christians kept
both sabbath and Sunday.

It was a big question. Were they
to be tethered to the old law, while

accepting Christ as— Lord and Redeem-
er, or should'the old law be thrown

 

concerned? Influential people from
Jerusalem came and said that the law
of Moses must" be observed. Paul and
Barnabas were thoroughly aroused.
They were appointed as delegates to a
church convention in Jerusalem.

Notice how they handled the matter.
They did not argue over the theory of
it very much. They pointed to the
men and women who had been con-
verted, and what useful and happy
Christians they were. “They rehearsed
all things that God had done with
them.” They said, are you going to
shut such Christians as these out?
Then Peter rose and made an address.
We have known Peter from former
days. He was not always as calm and
prudent as he might be, but today he
is at his best. He had not had that
dream, and that experience at Cae-
sarea for nothing. He said, “You men
all know that God has given the Holy
Spirit to the Gentiles as well as the
Jews. We must be careful not to dis-
credit the work of God, for these Gen—
tiles are saved by faith the same as
we are. That is what our Lord
taught.” It was a- plain, direct and
sensible speech, and it had effect. ,

HEN James got up. He was the

head, we might say bishop, of the
Jerusalem church. James has some
practical counsel, that appeals to all
parties. He said that the old cere—
monial might be left unobserved, but
that the moral teachings of the law
should be strictly observed. That is,
Christians must be upright in their
transactions, clean in their relations
between the sexes, and all that. Be-
cause they were free from forms and
ritual they were not to live loose, dou-
ble lives. ,On top of that, was some-
thing else. Heathen Gentiles would
offer food to idols, and then eat the
food. Such would be unclean to a
Jew, for he would have nothing to do
with idolatry. To eat such
would be impossible for him. Hence
Christian Gentiles should not. They
should not tempt Jewish Christians.

These regulations, I think we will all

They were sufficient and settled the
controversy. To make certain that the
decision of the council was made plain
to all the churches, two special mes-

Is it necessary for good people to
allow differences of opinion to separ-

desire to come to an amicable settle-
ment, it can be done. We do not have
to make enemies, or to be suspicious
of each other. That does not mean
that we will all think precisely alike.
And it does not mean that any group
should attempt to force others to think
exactly as they do. That is unjust,
undemocratic, unnecessary and un—

when John Frederic Oberlin died. His
parish was in Alsace. At his funeral
Protestants and Catholics alike attend-

The Question of Floors

By Julia W. Wolfe

HE time is almost here when a

‘ carpet securely fastened around.

. the edges of a room will be a
rarity. If you have floors which are
stained and soiled with paint the first
,thing to be done is to apply caustic
potash to the paint stains, and leave
it on until they are dissolved.

It may take a couple of days to do
this if the paint is hard, and after-
wards the floor should be well scoured
and dried.

If the boards do not fit perfectly,
have the spaces filled with putty or
with a mixture which has often been
recommended, old newspapers soaked
in a paste made of water and flour.

The proportions of this are one pound .

of flour, three quarts of water, and
one tablespoonful of powdered alum.
The newspapers must be torn to bits,
and the whole thoroughly boiled, and
mixed until of the consistency of put-
ty. It may be colored with a little of
the staining mixture, and should be
forced into the cracks with a knife,
when it will soon become hard and
dry like papier mache.

The labor of staining 3. floor is not
very great, and, as no particular skill
is required, the boys of the family
might be allowed to use their superflu-
ous energy in this way. By sitting on
a low stool and painting one board at
a time, lengthwise on the board, and
using a large brush, a good—sized room
may soon be covered. Allow it to dry
Well before putting on the second coat,
and this in turn before shellacing, and
let twenty-four hours elapse before us-
ing the room after the final coat.

Perhaps it would‘be best for the

novice to buy the stain already mixed,
but a little experimenting will give ex-
cellent results, and the expense will,
of course, be less. If a soft yellow
the color of pine is desired, use raw
sienna, diluted very thin with turpen-
tine. This does not show dust or foot-
marks like the darker stains, and is
very desirable in rooms which are
much used.
. Raw umber greatly diluted is a good
color for a. living-room, \and thin Van-
dyke brown 011 Georgia pine is very
pleasing. For a fancy border you may
use a contrasting shade.

A good way is to experiment with
the different stains on bits of Wood of
the same quality as the floor until the
des1red tint is obtained.

The chief objection to a stained floor
proceeds, undoubtedly from the fact
that the dust remains on the surface,
instead of being absorbed as it is in
a carpeted room. To get rid of this
is is only necessary to tie a piece of
soft flannel around a broom. and go
over the boards every day or two.
This is really but the work of a few
minutes, and the frequent polishing
gives a fine gloss not to be gained in
any other way.

Water should never be used on a
stained or parquet floor, as it has the
effect of making it dull at once, he-
sides being quite unnecessary where.
the flannel cloth is used as suggested.

DRYING CELERY LEAVES.

 

EMOVE from-stalks of celery any

leaves, especially the coarsest
ones, which are most strongly flav-
ored. Set them to dry in a. rather
warm place, as a sunny window or on
a pie tin in the oven, with the oven
door wide open. When thoroughly
dried keep them in a fruit jar with the

cover on tight. They will keep a long
time, and can be crushed and added
to any kind of soup or to salads, when
fresh celery is not at hand.———-Z. M.

CINNAMON LOAF.

 

WHEN you wiSh cinnamon buns
but haven’t the time to make
them, try a cinnamon loaf instead.
Prepare the dough as for cinnamon
buns, and spread it as usual; but in-
stead of making the separate, buns,
just roll it all up as you would ”a jelly
roll, and bake it that way. This makes
a delicious loaf, which can be sliced
afterward.

CAN mp HOUSE OF TROUBLE-
soms ANTS,

 

NTS, a constant nuisance to house-

wives during the summer months,
can easily be driven from the house
by the use of repellant baits. Ants
seem to shun these baits and, after
tasting them, will leave the house,
often remaining away for weeks. The
repellant bait fa easily made by put—
ting a small amount of sodium arse-
nate (twice the size of a pea) in shal-
low containers and setting it in places
frequented by ants.

If the nest from which the ants are
coming can be located, it can be per-
manently broken up by fumigating
with carbon bisulphid under a sealed
tub or pail that is placed over the nest,
or by drenching the nest with liberal
amounts of boiling water.

KITCHEN KINKS.

 

Save the waxed wrappers from food
cartons and use to smooth and polish
the irons on ironing day. This, also,
prevents their rusting.

It is a long day in the kitchen that
has no detour.

A few fine soap flakes or a small
piece of white soap shaved fine in the
boiling starch will give a beautiful
gloss to the ironed garments and will
prevent the irons “sticking.”

Don’t radio so late at night that you
cannot tune in on the morning chores.

Needles, like most persons, have
their good and bad points.
Chipped ham is delicious. Cut as

thin as a. wafer, then cream the same“

as creamed dried beef, or use the
“chips” in a fluffy ham omelette.

Love may be old-fashioned and it
may be blind, but it still hangs on to
its delicate sense of touch—G. S.

If you mix your flour and sugar- to-
gether first, then turn on boiling wa-
ter and stir, there will not be a sign
of a lump. You can then add your

THE ADVENTURERS GET THEIR ,

SUPPER.

 

_fiE three Woodland Wanderers

were not good sailors. The lit-
tle sail boat they had found
rocked’to this side and to that as
Brownie and Rally Rabbit made mis-

moves in managing it. But under Cap- _

tain Bruin’s orders, they kept the little
boat right side up and sailing down
the river.

Late in the afternoon, just before
the sun went down, they came to a
small cove in the river, well sheltered
by the rocks.

"Let’s camp here for the night,” said
Rolly. “Perhaps we can find our sup-
per, for I’m hungry.”

“It suits me,” said Captain Bruin.
So the first and second mate steered
their little boat into the cove and
anchored it. ’

Rolly Rabbit hepped on shore, but
had hardly turned around before two
queer looking creatures came trotting
out from behind a big rock. For a
minute Rolly Rabbit was frightened,
and his long ears wobbled to the right
and to the left, but he would be brave!

 

They Waved a Welcome to the
Strangers.

Queer creatures they were, indeed,
with little round faces and dancing
black eyes, wearing long peeked caps
and longer peeked toes on their shoes.
As they came around the corner of the
rock they waved a welcome to the
strangers.

“Who are you?” asked these queer
creatures.

“We are the Woodland Wanderers,”
said Rolly. “Meet Captain Bruin,” and
he” made effort at a majestic introduc—
tion. “This is Mate Brownie,” point-
ing to the little bear, “and I am Mate
Rolly Rabbit,” he said as he puffed up
with pride. ‘

“Glad to know you sir,” said the
creature with the longest peeked cap.
“We are the 'Wishing Willies of Rocky
Rook.”

“Do you give folks what they wish
for?” asked Bruin. ”

“That is our work,” said the Wish—
ing Willies.

“Well, most of all now, I wish for
my supper,” said Captain Bruin, rub-
bing his stomach, “for I’m hungry.”

"Then look in the water on the far
side of the boat and tell me what you
see, ” said the Wishing Willies.

Bruin and Rolly and Brownie hur-
ried to the far side of the boat to look
in the water. They looked and looked
and could see nothing, but when they
turned about they saw a little table
all laid for supper and with a steaming
bowl of porridge waiting for each one.

The Wishing Willies had disappear-
ed so the sailors could not even. thank
them for their kind deed. After their

warm supper they curled up in their

boat to sleep until morning.

VIGILANCE AND PEP REQUIRED.

 

THE article published in the Mich--

igan Farmer of June 27, “Poultry
Leads on this Farm,” by Mrs. John
L. Swan, has been criticized as to not
having given any credit to the agricul-
tural department. ,

The article referred to was written
and sent in by a friend in one of the
western states, she having requested
permission to “write up” my personal
experiences in poultry raising. A ques-

‘tionaire was sent to me which I filled

out to the best of my ability, and so
far as I am individually concerned, the
“write up” was 0. K.

The greater number of poultry bul-
letins that I have read are from Wash-
ington,‘ D. C., a few from Lansing,
Michigan. I duly appreciate all that
the authors of the various bulletins
have written to help along the begin-
ner, and small flock poultry raisers,
and the helpful personalsuggestions
of the state and county agents. They
are doing much with their poultry
meetings and culling demonstrations
to improve the farm flocks, if the poul-
try raisers will cooperate .With them.

I regret to say that I am no longer
actively engaged in the work because
of inability to do my share; but I am
just as interested as when I was cand-
ling and packing ,eggs for shipment,
and caring for the fluffy little chicks.
For me there is a fascination about
all branches of the business. Even the
hospital coop is alluring. But I have
this to say in conclusion, that no mat-
ter how many good bulletins we study,
or how many poultry meetings we at-
tend, we need no't hope for success if
we Spend the greater part of our time
riding around the country in an auto-
mobile or “sitting on the front porch.”
We have to be on the job 365 days in
the year—with eternal vigilance and
a little “pep.”——Mable A. Swan. ‘

BEEKEEPERS TO MEET.

 

HE seventh annual meeting of the

.Michigan Beekeepers’ Association
and automobile tour through the dis—
ease—free district of northern Michigan
is scheduled to take place on August
4-5-6-7, accprding to word given out at
the Michigan State College this week.
The secretary is arranging for a na—
tionally known speaker for the meet—

, ing, and Mr. B. F. Kindig, director of

apiary inspection, is perfecting plans
for the auto tour.

Just previous to the summer meet-
ing, several district meetings will be
arranged, one for the Thumb district,
one for southeastern Michigan, and
possibly one for «southwestern Michi-
gan. The exact dates and names of
speakers will be announced later.——
John C. Cock.

GOSLINGS DYING.

 

Would you please tell me what is
wrong with my goslings? They are
three weeks old and are dying off each
day. They droop their wings and wag
their heads, and finally die. Have clo-
ver grass and fresh, clean water. But
one day they ate some weeds by the
barn and I wonder if that causes it.
They are with a hen. Have treated
them for lice, but it don’t seem to help.
Have given potassium permanganate
in water but it don’t help—F. C. P.

Perform a postmortem on some of
the goslings and note the condition of
the internal organs. They may have
congestion of the brain, which is said
to originate from intestinal parasites
or digestive disorders. Exposure to
hot sun sometimes causes goslings to
die. A shady range is a great help in
making them grow during hot weather.
I do not think the weeds caused the
losses. Feeding a. mash each day in
addition to the green feed is a help in

_promoting rapid growth

   
  
  

and prevent-
ing diarrhea. \
The mash can consist of two parts
middlings and one part cornmeal.
hi7

 

FEEDING POULTS.

 

My turkeys, nearly five weeks old,
absolutely stuff themselves full of the
mash, (ground wheat, corn, oats and
meat scrap),rwhich I have to, keep in
places where the hens can reach. Whll
it hurt them? .They peep all day 'If
I don’t put any out.so they can get it.
They seem to be growing fine and I'
haven’t lost any yet—Mrs. H H.

If the poults are growing rapidly and
seem healthyv there is probably little
to worry about in your method of feed-
ing. In general turkeys are insect and
grain eaters and do not thrive on
sloppy mashes, but I see no reason
why a dry mash of clean ground grains
should hurt them. '

There is some danger in having the
young turkeys eat with the chickens
as they are subject to the same dis-
eases. The turkeys will usually thrive
better if they can be induced to range
as much as possible on soil not con-
taminated by poultry manure.

DUCKLINGS PULL FEATHERS.

Please give me a cure for ducks that
eat each others’ feathers. I have about
fifty hatched now and the oldest ones
are just bound to pull feathers ahd eat
them. What should I feed them to
stop it?—G. K.

Feather eating among ducklings
most often occurs when the birds are
on a small range. They are idle much
of the time and pick feathers to ob-
tain the blood. The best remedy is to
turn the ducklings on as large a range
as possible where fresh green feed is
abundant. Usually they will separate
and forage and lose interest in each
other. '

 

POSSIBLY PN EU MONIA.

 

My ducks and geese start with open-
ing and closing their mouths and then
when they breathe it seems to move
their whole body. They get thin and
don’t eat. They have plenty of fresh
water and good clover pasture and
corn to eat—Mrs. B. H. C

Ducklings and goslings thrive better
when they have mash rather than hard
grain. Exposure to the hot sun some—
times causes losses of young stock.
A shady pasture is necessary for best
results. Watch for rose bugs on the
range as they are poisonous to all
poultry. Perform a postmortem on the
birds that die and note the condition
of the internal organs. Congestion of
the brain due to worms or digestive

disorders may cause young'goslings to

become thin and die.

Ducklings may have pneumonia and
show symptoms similar to gapes in
chicks, although the cause is entirely
different. They breathe hard and often
die in a short time. This can usually
be prevented by careful brooding meth-
ods. Avoid exposing the young stock
to cold raw spring winds. Avoid over-
crowding in the brooder houses.

POULT WITH WEAK JOINTS.

swollen. Appetite good. Am feeding
cottage cheese with pepper, also
wheat. They have the run of a six-

The turkey may have a malforma-
tion of the joints in the same way that
an apparently healthy chick occasion-
ally hatches out with crippled joints.
Rheumatism also causes swollen joints.
Treatment of the poult’s joints will
probably be of little value. If nature
does not properly care for the case,
the bird will probably become weak
and die, or have to 'be killed. It may

A Michigan
Gets Results.

 

LARGER number of hikers en-
joyed the Annual Hereford Hike
this year than ever before, and
many expressions of satisfaction were
heard from those who attended. The

some of the best natural beef produc-
ing area of the state and visited fine
breeding herds of white faces, as well
as several farms producing market
beef. About two hundred breeders and
feeders attended part or all of the

. tour, and gathering from all parts of

the state; one car even coming from
the Upper Peninsula, many ideas were
exchanged and valuable information.
was gained at most of the twenty
stops in the two days.

On account of the dry weather we
Were surprised to find the cattle in
general in such good condition. As
President James Campbell said, “Ev-
eryone visited seemed to think his
place was the driest spot in Michigan,"
yet all of the calves looked fine and
many of the cow herds were in excel-
lent flesh.

One thing that must have been‘ driv-
en home to every “hiker” was the im-
portance of heading the herd with the
right kind of sire. The improvement
in the younger animals was very no-
ticeable in most of the herds, and a
good hull was either with the herd or
shown to us before leaving. However,
a few herds were visited where it was
evident that the hull was not improv-
ing the herd and the owners of such
bulls must have gone home with an
ambition to own a better one. It might
be added though, that some of the
poorest bulls were owned by men who
did not think they had time to attend
the rest of the hike. .

Earl McCarty’s sale at the close of
the tour proved to be the banner at-
traction and brought out the largest
attendance. Considering that the sale
was of surplus stock he had produced,
and many of the animals less than a
year old, the sale went very satisfac-
torily, with the top heifer at $100 and
top bull at $116 for a seven months
old calf, with the average price not
far below.

The difierence in quality and confor—

_ mation between the grade Hereford

cows that had been shipped in to
raise beef calves for market, and the
pure-breds was very apparent at the
Sanilac Stock Farm., However, the

most of the visitors, as few of us had
seen 175 cows with calves running in
one herd before.

The “hikers” were reluctant to leave
many of the places visited, but the
schedule had to be followed. Some of
the points deserving of particular
mention were the fine, blocky, thick—
set calves shown by Wm. Lahring &
Son; the finished baby beef and show

Isteers seen at the Crapo farm, which

gave us such a hearty reception, and
boasts not only one of the leading
herds of today, but the oldest herd of
Hereford cattle in the United States
kept continuously on one farm by one
family; the banquet at the Dow Hotel,
Harbor Beach, Friday evening, where
excellent service was given the ninety-
three present, and real Hereford baby
beef was served; the breeding herd
and Boys’ and Girls’ Calf Club calf
seen at Warner Ramseys, and‘ the
breeding herd seen at W. H. Mc-
Carty’.s ‘

The McCarty herd was running in
an excellent sweet clover pasture, and
the results seen were sufficient to con-

 

vince anyone of the great value of
sweet clover pasture in a dry season.

La- ,

large grade herd was a. revelationio»

d.

Neither could the dinner at the Mo-
Carty Church be passed up without
mentioning how' well they served the
baby beef and pie and everything that
goes with a dollar dinner put up by a
country church ladies’ aid for fifty
cents.

Among the very interesting hikers
was I. H. Butterfield, father of Kenyon
L. Butterfield, president of Michigan
State College. Mr. Butterfield still has
a keen eye for good cattle, and related
many interesting experiences, among
them his experience ”showing Devon
cattle in competition with the Crapo

Farm at the Michigan State Fair at.

Jackson in 1878. Hewas obliged to
drive his cattle from his farm in La-
peer county at that time, to Owosso to
ship to Jackson.

 

MIDSUMMER SUCCULENCE.

 

ID—SUMMER is the most trying‘

and unsatisfactory period of the
year for the dairyman, because he is
usually the least prepared for it.
spite the fact that every dairyman an-
ticipates a, dry period during the sum-
mer, he finds it difficult to meet the
situation as he would like.

This matter demands considerable
planning. It has been our experience
at Forest Grove Farm that some crop
sown the previous season meets this
need much better than a crop sown in
the spring. Therefore, we have come
to rely more and more upon alfalfa
and clover to supply the necessary suc-
culency for the cows. The first cut-
ting of clover and alfalfa is matured
enough by the time the dry weather
comes, except in a year like the pres-
ent, to supply a. high grade roughage.

I have found that clover or alfalfa
can be cut a day or so ahead and
hauled directly to the stable, or cured,
stored and fed daily. I think when
cows are on pasture they relish a
little dry feed, and as storing elimi-
nates daily hauling to the stables, I
like that method best.

I do not think any dairyman should
overlook sowing sweet corn for late
summer and fall feeding. It supplies
a large tonnage of feed per acre,
makes a. splendid feed and helps out
on the grain ration—L C. R.

SUMMER COMFORT FOR HORSES.

 

T must be admitted that the average
owner of horses is more concerned
about his own cleanliness, coolness
and comfort in the summer time than
in the welfare of his hard—working an-
imals. When the sun or the watch
tells us that dinner time is at hand,
how we hustle to thebarn, hurry the
horses into their stalls and throw
them their feed, that there may be
time to wash up a bit and cool off
before sitting up to the table.
Anything for comfort, anything to
keep cool—that is the order of the day
and accepted as necessary if work is
to be accomplished.

In all decency let us, so far as pos-
sible, apply the same sound principles
to the care of our work horses. Once
daily, no matter how hurried be the
farming operations, every horse should
be groomed. If the animals have not
shed off quickly in spring, clipping
helps them wonderfully. and greatly
lessens the work of grooming through-
out the season. Horses that shed off
early and completely will not need
clipping, but must be groomed if they

are to stay healthy and render the

most efficient service.

De— "

1101,5111 again. after eating their feed: '
If drinking water is taken to the field "
for the horses in hot weather and al-ll
lowed frequently, little of it will be
needed at noon and less trouble be ex. , ' ‘
perienced from indigestion and other
evils than when the horses are allowed
to become so thirsty that they drink
too much and too fast when hot.
Horses ,sweat much more than do men'
and need water more. Why keep that
vacuum jug under a grain shock for
frequent visits during work hours, and
let the horses crave cold water at
such times? ' -

Other profitable items of comfort and , _
care for horSes in summer are cover-
ing their bodies with fly pets or white
sheets, shading the polls of their
heads, spraying exposed parts of the .
body with effective fly repellants, ,
screening and darkening the stable
against flies, and keeping manure out
of the stable and fa; away frOm-it to
afford 'no breeding place fer flies.

Clean,.deep, well-shaken beds are
also a help to hard worked horses.
Rest is imperative to them if they are
to work well and stand the work. It
cannot be had when flies molest and
annoy, when sweat dries on the body,
when the bed is dirty, lumps or scant.
‘ It is also very humane, in very hot
weather, to remove the harness at
noon,~and to wash their shoulders at.-
night in salty cold water to prevent
soreness—F. R. Teppen.

 

 

 

 

 

KEEP SHEEP FOR SALVAGING
WASTES. «

 

, .
TTO GREIGER never cared for

, sheep until he saw what profits
they would make by cleaning up the
weeds. and small brush. In the wheat
and cat stubbles there was a second ,
growth of weeds, often some clover, ;
and usually some stray grain. The }
flock of sheep were turned in on this
and they cleaned it up well. In the
winter he lets them run to an old
straw stack and sometimes gives a lit-
tle grain.

He ran a fence through the woods
where the hogs were kept and used
half or a. portion of the lot for sheep.
Today where the sheep have been kept
there are no weeds, and a. rather.
abundant stand of grass. He believes ‘
that sheep, more than "any other ani- '
mal, will eat the food that is highest '
from the ground and as a result the
weeds and bushes are eaten and the
grass is left alone.

In May he sold $28 Worth of wool
from seven sheep and has nine lambs ‘
that are worth three dollars. He be—i
lieves that every farmer should keep,
a few sheep and that he will make|
more profit from his eight sheep than.
from a similar number of hogs.-—-—H. Q,
Holt.

Others have' written about their am-

' bitions. Why should I not write about

mine?

I havefound that no other has men-
tioned my ambition. ‘

I will first give you a hint to it, and
then Iwill tell it to you. ‘

Imagine yourself avpoor man with
a family in a. foreign country, whose
language you cannot understand, and
whose customs are strange to you.
.Think of yourself looking for work.
Would not your heart cry out for sym-
pathy, for friendship, and wouldn’t you
feel a little bitter when you saw fel-
lows more fortunate than yourself,
pass you, and hear them scoff and
sneer at you?

That is the position 'of the im-
migrant. He is ignorant and needs
knowledge; lonely and needs sympa«
thy; friendless and needs friends. And
moreover, he needs justice, which he
doesn’t always get. Why not become
a friend to a immigrant and his wife,
and make the world a little brighter
for them?

His wife needs sympathy, too.
There is no more forlorn person than
the immigrant wife. The men can go
to night school, but the women have
no time to do so. By the time the
women cook, wash, iron and sew for
,six or eight children, they are too

tired to get ready' and go to night
school. Yet they yearn to know the
American language and customs
which their husbands are learning at
night school (if they are lucky enough
to go to one). They also yearn for~a
friend, ‘an American friend, to take an
interest in them, to give them a help-
ing hand, to show them a little kind~
ness. You may ask, do they appreci-
ate kindness? Yes, they do, and their ‘
husbands do, too, and they often thank
the American woman that is showing
kindness to their wives. They certain-
19 do appreciate it. Wouldn’t you, if
you were in their position? Yes, you
would. ‘

Most of them are really fast to learn

.the American language and customs.

They also give the American many
helpful hints in turn. ' ' -

My ambition is to be a friend to the
immigrant and his family.

As for my part, I think there is
nothing which will go so far toward
making good citizens out of our immi-
grants than for every American wom-
an to be a friend to at least one for-
eign-speaking woman, and every Amer-
ican man to be a friend to at least
one foreign—speaking man. For we can—
not make a good citizen out of an im-
migrant by sneering or scofling at him.

@DUR LETTER BDX

 

 

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

We are sending in $1.65 for the
Merry Circle Fund. Some of our
neighbors gave some, and we gave
some ourselves. We are glad that the
fund is increasing and hope you will
soon have enough to get the radios.

Uncle Frank, I received my pen
some time ago, and was certainly glad
to get it. I was very much surprised.
I thank you ever and ever so much.

Here’s hoping the nickels and dimes
will come “rolling” in soon.——Your
nieces and cousins, Birdene Coles,
Dorothy and Virginia Salsbury.

I am sending the names of the ones
that gave: Mrs. J. Pickering, 100;
Mrs. Lee Wilson, 25c; Mrs. Bert Sals-
bury, 100; Mrs. Parish, 100.

Thanks very much for your neigh-

borhood collection. I wish a lot of
M. C.’s would show the same interest
in the fund that you do.

Dear Uncle Frank:

The other day the Michigan Farmer
came and I opened it up, of course, to
the Boys’ and Girls’ page, (or the
Girls’ and Boys’ page, if that suits
Helen Piper any better), and the first
letter
rarin’ to go.

I think Miss Helen Piper should go
lay a brick. Why shouldn’t boys come
before girls on this page, I’d like to
know. We are just as good as girls,
by gum.

The girls are getting sassy now—a-
days, eh, boys! The other day I was
on the streets of a town and a girl
stuck her tongue out at me. By golly,
you don’t catch boys doing that.

I guess, Uncle Frank is right about
the girls being first in activity in this
club, but you see, girls like to say
something all of the time, and if they
couldn’t talk they would write it to
something or somebody. If they didn’t
have any more time than most boys,
they wouldn’t write either.

I have read some girls’ letters that
run on us boys pretty hard, and it
made my blood boil, but I didn’t have
time to say anything, so I didn’t. I
happened to have some time now, so I
wrote. I guess some of the girls think
us boys shouldn’t belong to this club,
but we 'do, see, and we aren’t going to
quit, either.

I have noticed some girls close their
letters by saying, “I must close my
chatter.” Well, that’s all they do is
chatter, chatter, all the time.

in the Letter Box made. me,

All the
' girls should have Helen Piper’s name.

They are “pipers” all right, and they
pipe all the time. The girls run on us
boys all the time. I guess we’ll have
to do something about it.

Say, fellers, did you notice in the
Letter Box all the letters are from
girls? Gee, boys, they are pushing
us away, wiping us off the may. We'll
have to do something or it will be
our girls’ page, without the boy in it.
Lessee, lemme think.

Oh, I’ve an idea. Let’s begin to
write letters and answer contests to
beat the band. Just dig right in or
you will know what will happen. Let’s
beat the chatterers, boys.

I will do my share if you fellers will
do yours.——Ta, ta, everybody, Herbert,
Estes, R. 3, Webberville, Mich.

It certainly would be fine if the boys
would write to beat the band, but you
would have to go some to beat the
girls. It can be done, though, if the

boys try.

Dear Uncle Frank:

I read a few days ago a letter from
one of the girls expressing her ideas
of music. She was right when she
said the birds were beautiful singers,
but I don’t think they rival human
voices. For my own part, I love mu-
sic of every kind, but I think a mouth
organ, well played, is the sweetest of
music. A player can easily express
his feeling on it.

But music is not my ambition, or
neither is the painting of nature’s
beauties, but sports call me. My one

wish is to be a great swimmer and to
excel in other sports. I love to shoot
a gun, to fish, drive a car or horse,
and to row or sail a boat. But that
isn’t all. I can sew or cook as good
as any girl of my age. Now, Uncle
Frank, haven’t I got quite a few things
to do to fulfill'my ambition for every-

day life.
I also have one to help my friends,
that is, to be an English teacher.

From the English my schoolmates, and
myself also, use, I know the English
language is going backwards.

Well, Uncle Frank, I suppose you
are tired trying to make out what I
have written. Will add that I am
sending a bit for the kiddies’ radio.
Mamma sends half in memory of my
little brother, and the rest is from my
baby sister, brother and I.

Here’s my best Wishes for the suc-
cess of the fund, the Merry Circlers,
and you—From Daisy R. Brown, of
South Clermont, Florida.

   
 

 

Undoubtedly many will dispute your

idea of sweetest music. I feel that
anything that expresses feeling or
sentiment in music is worth while. It
is fine that you like sports. Perhaps
the English language is changing in—
stead of going backwards.

 

READ-AND-WIN.

-> E are back to the old Read-and-

Win, the first .kind of contest
we run. They have always been pop-
ular, so that’s the excuse for running
them again.

You will find the answers to the ten
questions below in the pages of this
issue. When you write your paper
put the same number to the answer
as there is to the question, and also
give the number of the page on which
you found the answer. Do not write
out the question. Please put your
name and' address in the upper left
hand corner of your paper, and if you
are a Merry Circler put M. C. after
your name.

All correct papers will be mixed in
a basket and the ten lucky ones pulled
out. The usual prizes will be given,
two fountain pens, three dictionaries
and five knives. The contest closes

July 31. Send your contest papers to

WHEAT

Wheat prices rallied strongly in the
last week. A crop scare in the spring
wheat belt, which excited speculative
buying, was the chief factor.

Intense heat prevailed over the
northwest doing considerable direct
damage and also favoring the spread
and development of black rust. Thus
far, the heat has probably done great-
est damage, and it has hastened rip~
ening which will tend to reduce the
ravages from rust.

The outcome is still quite uncertain,
of course. but it seems that the pos-
sibility of a big increase in spring
wheat over the official forecast of 276
million bushels because of favorable
growing conditions in July has gone
glimmering.

The conditions undoubtedly indicate
a further advance in prices eventually.
The extent of it and the time it will
occur depend largely on weather and
crop developments in the spring wheat
belt and in Canada.

RYE

The rye market has not snown as
much strength as wheat. Stocks .of
old rye are being cleaned up steadily
and the visible is only a third as large
as a year ago. While the outlook is
not especially strong, owing to _the
larger European crop and probability
of smaller exports, the discount under
wheat already is quite wide, and small
stocks in commercial channels Will
act as a firming influence.

CORN

The corn crop in the southwest has
suffered further from hot weather and
drouth and some sections of the corn
belt proper have complained, but in
the main, the fine prospect has been
maintained. The next month is the
most critical period, of course. .

Corn prices averaged higher in the

past week but finished with little‘

change.- Cash demand has been nar-
row, although extremely sinall primary
receipts have resulted in further par-
ing down of terminal stocks. Specu—
lative ardor is- dampened by the ex-
cellent prospect for new corn and
evidence of a smaller number of hogs“
on farms to consume it. Corn prices
promise to average considerably _lower
next year than in the , past twelve
months, so that the long time trend
is downWard. Strength in the next
two months will depend on continued
light receipts and on a change in crop

prospects.
- OATS .

The oats market has taken most of
its color from corn. Exports and
domestic consuming demand are fair
so that stocks of old oats at terminals
are being cut down rather rapidly.
But, they remain much above normal.
The carryover of cats in all p0 'tions
will be large enough to make p for
some of the decrease of 250 million
bushels in the crop prospect as com-
pared with last year’s harvest.

. SEEDS

The seed market is quiet with
dealers generally waiting for more
positive new crop information. The
red clover crop was reported to have
improved further during the past week
and prices were unchanged. Timothy
seed trade was narrow. The crop is
several weeks late and is small, so
that dealers expect high opening
prices this fall.

FEEDS

The feed market was irregular last
week. \Vheatfeeds have been helped
by the improvement in the grain
markets, but supplies are heavy, de-
mand is light, and some dealers
believe that the break in prices from
the peak a short time ago is not yet

at an end.
HAY

Hay prices steadied last week
although receipts were large and fully
ample for the demand. Trade is on
a narrow basis, chiefly to satisfy
immediate needs. Good hay moved
readily, but poor stuff, which has met
with a good sale recently, because of
smaller receipts of top grades, was

draggy.
EGGS

“unchanged last week. Receipts showed

- BUTTER

Butter prices had a slightadvance
last week after holding unchanged
most of the week. For the country as
agwhole, the peak in production has
probably been reached, and some
shrinkage in receipts ,is to be ex-
pected. Heavy consumption of ice
cream is still diverting milk from
butter factories, and general high tem—
peratures are affecting the output.
Demand for immediate consumption is
improving, although hot weather con-
tinues a factor. Quality is above the
average for this season. The demand
for medium and undergrades is active
and prices on these grades are strong.
The shortage in cold storage holdings
of butter was further increased dur-
ing June.

Prices on 92 score creamery were:
Chicago, 421,40; New York, 43%0;
Detroit, fresh creamery tubs, 40—43c

POTATOES

Potato prices weakened after a
sharp advance early in the week. De-
mand was only moderate and ship-
ments were considerably heavier than,
in the preceding week. Kansas and
Missouri sacked Irish cobblers, U. S.
No. 1, were quoted at $2.50 to $2.75
per 100 lbs. in the Chicago carlot

market.

with C. H. P. whites now quoted at

he demand has been quite narrow,
offerings of old beans appear ample,
and the new crop is making favorable
progress. This who probably dis:
counts any weakness in the situation,
and a moderate upturn may be seen.
But, a pronounced advance will prob-
ably depend on the occurrence of crop»—

‘ WOOL

Firmness shown at the resumption
of foreign wool sales has added to the
confidence in domestic prices. With
this milestone passed, there seems to
’be nothing to. give the market a set—
back until the new southern hemis-
phere clip becomes available this fall.
Sales .in the territory states include
41 to 42 cents for medium Montana.
wools and 45 cents for fine clips, 45
to 47%, cents for fine and fine medium
staple clips in northern California and
36 cents for fine and fine medium
French combing in Utah. In Iowa, 46
to 47 cents has been refused for some
choice stock. In the bright wool
states, stocks still in first hands are
small. Dealers estimate that about
four—fifths of the clip for the entire
country has already been sold.

HORSES

Demand for horses is fairly active.
Good draft horses weighing 1,700 to
1,900 pounds are selling at $200 to
$265 with well-matched teams bringing
a moderate premium. Wagon horses
of 1,300 to 1,400 pounds weight are
selling at $150 to $200. Chunks pul-
ling the beam at 1,350 to 1,550 pounds
are going at $110 to $150. - ~

DETROIT CITY MARKET

The supply of produce was quite
large and “trading was quite active.
Raspberries were in moderate supply
and sold readily. Gooseberries and
currants were easy sellers and the
small offerings of huckleberries found
ready sale. A few Red Astrachan and
Yellow Transparent apples were of-
fered, but their size and quality hin-
dered selling.

Both indoor andoutdoor tomatoes
sold quickly. A sharp advance in the
price of leaf lettuce featured the sel- ~
ling. There was a little more demand
for spinach, but other greens were
pretty slow selling. Celery was an
active seller. Carrots and beets had
fair sale, but most bunched stuff sold
slowly. Squash of all kinds was in
limited demand, and peppers were
only fair sellers. Poultry and eggs
had good sale.

SUGAR BEET ACREAGE BELOW
AVERAGE.

 

' I'HIS year's sugar beet acreage is
below the average, the area of
beets planted in 1325 for the beet

sugar factories of the United States,

being approximately W8,000 acres, or
ninety-four per cent of the average

acreage for the five years, 1920-1924,

according to reports received from the,

factories by' the'United States Depart-

' ' This year’s acre-

age is eighty-four per cent of the 925,-

000 acres reported as planted 1n 1924.

This acreage is. as in previous years,

that covered by factory contracts,

agreements, and understandings, all of
which is not always actually planted.

The 1925 contracts provide, in most
cases, for a minimum basic price of

$6.00 per ton of beets in Nebraska, 0

Colorado, Utah, and Idaho; $6.50 in

tory; although some acreage is eov- ».
Several slidlng

ered by other terms,

scales of prices, without a guaranteed
minimum, are in effect in California.
The minimum basic prices may be in-
creased if the selling price of the an‘,
ar made is more than a specified
amount. _

The contracted acreage in Michigan
is 138,000 as compared with 174,000
planted last year, and an average of-
148,000 for the last five years. The
present condition of seventy-five per"
cent is eleven per cent below the ten-
year average and represents a. produc-
tion of 812,000 tons of beets after al-
lowing for the average loss of acreage.
Michigan ranks second in acreage, Col-
orado being first with 186,000 acres
planted this year.
