VOLUME CLXIX NUMBER TWENTY-ONE





DETROIT, JULY 2, 1927

CURRENT COMMENT





A





S the c o u n t r y

grows older it be-





The comes more difficult



Tenantry to secureafarm. Fifty



Question years ago there Was



little occasion for a



19’ man to rent a farm. In those days





a few dollars would enable him to

own one. Today, farm ownership is

not so easy, particularly in our more

congestedareas where farming is gen-

erally most profitable. It requires a

fair amount of capital for the modern

young man to begin his agricultural

career. He'also needs experience at

managing and operating farms. Both

of these he can get by renting. Fur-

ther, he has opportunity to secure

the necessary equipment with which

to carry on his work after he pur-

chases a farm.



That tenantry is the stepping stone

to farm ownership is borne out by re-

cent statistics gathered by the depart-

ment of agriculture. It appears that



. three-fourths of the farmers in the

United States under twenty-five years

of age are tenants, whereas, only one-

fourth of those sixty—five years old and



’ cider are leasing farms. Furthermore,

one—half of all our tenant farmers have

previously worked for wages.



Since most farm landlords are ex-

farmers who live near or on their

farms, it would appear that the ma-

jority of tenants are those who are

gradually taking over the farms of

an older generation.





NEW organiza-





he tion ha 5 been



F T ' , formed in Washing-

arme” ion with the objec-

Roaqlg ‘tive of improving the





, _ ‘ 4 two million miles of

secondary roads of the country. The

'fiame. of'this organization is the Coun-

Highway rOfficials’ Association.





 

   

 

 





   

 

 





 

 





 

 





titled in the membership. ’





cmois m cm um: um-





m erery'state in, the Union are“;





We: are pleased ”to observe that at





keynote of this'movement is not, the H

discovery of painless methods of ex-





tracting additional funds from‘ the

rural people of the‘ country for road

purposes, but to make better use of

the funds ' now raised for, improving

and maintaining these farm-to-market

avenues of travel. .



The first job is standardization:

They want the best available plans for

constructing good gravel and dirt

roads for carrying a limited amount of

traffic. .They now know that too much

of the threequarters of a billion dol-

lars spent annually on these roads is

wasted.

a. dollar’s worth of road for one hun-

dred cents expended ?. The answering

of that question is the big job of the

new organization.



We have some reason to hope for

progress. The movement which ulti—

mately will include a membership of

upwards of three thousand road ofii~

cials, is sponsored by the federal bu-

reau of roads. The best road engin-

eers will be put on the task. Then,

too, farmers everywhere are becbming

desperate for road relief and, at the

same time, feel hopelessly burdened

with road taxation that seemingly to

date has fixed everybody’s road but

the farmer’s.





T the internation-





° a1 congress of

Feeding soil scientists, now be-

the ing held in this coun-

Race try, a noted professor

from Holland, states



after careful calculations, that with





known methods of soil management,

the earth can support about 8,000,000,-

000 people. The present population

is about 1,750,000,000. This is inter-

esting, because not many years ago





an equally famous English economist.





declared that the race was rapidly ap-

proaching the point where population

will overtake food production.



This leaves the lay mind in some-

thing of a predicament. But if it be-

came necessary to compromise be-

tween the opinions of these two men,

we still would have thousands of

years before the League of Nations

would need to take steps for the re-

duction of population.





But the general change in attitude

on the ability of the soil to grow crops

is due largely to new ideas about the

soil. We are learning a few of the

agricultural possibilities of the mate-

rial out of which farms are made.

Heretofore we just dabbled at farming

by taking out of the land what nature

had put there to keep us until we bet

ter understood how to produce maxi-

mum crops through proper soil feed-

ing. -



Now We seem to be approaching the

second phase' of farming when results

will be measured by the intelligent

feeding of .the soil. And to make the

best of this type of farming demands

a high degree of mental training.

Farmers read and study largely in

the winter season. However, the most





I





They ask, how can they get'





 

 





 





ing the summer when crops are

the land. ' " ‘



Fortunately, Dame Nature pays well

for the time devoted to finding out

her mysterious methods; and the abil:

ity of farmers to feed the race in the

future will depend/«upon how diligently

they seek to unravel those mysteries.





' is

upon,





HAT years spent





Education in high school and

Returns college are well re-



. . paid by increased

‘Dlvldends earning capacity has

been brought out in



a recent survey covering _ several





States. Down in Georgia it was found





that farmers without any sch-ooling'





had an annual net profit of $240, while

those with a common school educa-

tion earned $565, high school gradu-

ates $665, and those whot completed

an agricultural course earned $1,254.





In Missouri the survey indicated that





four-fifths of the farmers who had re-

ceived educational training own the

land they operate. An interesting fact

brought out by the Wisconsin survey

was that farmers with a high school

education acquired oWnership of their

farms in about seven years, while it

took ten years for those with only a

common school education to acquire

a clear title. In New York the high

school graduate was making more

than the common school farmer from

the same amount of invested capital.



The school year has only just clos-

ed, but it is none too early to plan

for continuing the education of the

farm boys and girls. By careful plan-

ning they can develop small summer

enterprises that will provide funds for

their educational budget. A small in-

vestment in better education will re-





turn manifold dividends, both econom— -





ically and socially, to the coming gen-

eration of farm folks.





NE of the most





Master delightful occa-

Farmers’ sions we have attend-



. . ed in a long time Was

PICNIC the gathering of the

Michigan M a s t e r



Farmers and their families at the





pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B.

Cook, south of Owosso. Fully fifty

persons enjoyed the attractive prem-

dinner provided by the host. and

hostess. ,





No program was arranged, except

to learn more about the Country Life

Conference to be held at the Michigan

State College the first week of August.

To this end Dr. Mumford, of that in-

stitution, rendered excellent service.



When a group of progressive farm-

ers and their intelligent wives get to-

gether, n-o program is necessary. It

takes such folks but a jiffy to start

a discussion on some practical mat—

HE other day Sofie says to me



that .I didn’t know what work

was, so I thought I’d look it up in the

dictiOnary to find out all about it.

Well, this book says that work is the

exertio of one’s strength or faculties

for the accomplishment of something.

Whatever that is it must be all right,

but I don’t know if I ever exerted my

faculties, whatever they are, to ac-

complish something.



Well, work never looked like that

to me, so I looked up toil, and toil, the

book says, is hard work. Well, I know

what -hard work

is, ’cause any

work I do is hard.



Quite a few fa-

mous men have

told what toil is. .

Maybe ,they got '

famous telling 1

about it_ instead '

of doing it. Any—

how, all the toil

I’ve done ain’t never made me famous.

There’s one fellow called, Rochefou—

cauld, who says, “Bodily labor allevi-

ates the pain of the mind; whence

arises the happiness of the poor.” That ‘r‘

shows I didn’t know what happiness ‘

was, ’cause lots of us is poor, so must ‘ "

be happy. But it seems like itis a. A. I

kinda poor way of being happy. '



But, I know work is necessary for

living, especially when Sofie is around.



But it is necessary for. happiness. If



some people worked more they.wouldn’t



quarrel so much. You notice the word ,

toil hasoil‘ in it. That means that. toil ‘ ‘

kinda lubricates the way of life} .Toil . '

kin be pleasant, like Mr. Armstrong

says, “He chooses best, whose labor'

entertains his vacant fancy most; the



toil you hate fatigues you soon.”



I never knew that I had any vacant "

fancy to entertain, but if I got a va-

cant fancy I think fishing entertains-

it most. But for any of 'my fancies

that ain’t vacant, I rather be in, the

With this thought as the keynote

of his address, President Coolidge w'el-

comed the 400 or more delegates to

the first International Congress of Soil

Science at its opening session in

Washington.



In attendance at this conference

are the world’s foremost soil chemists

and geologists, who represent an inter-

national Imovement. for .the solution

of the problems of soil conservation

and crop productivity. Upwards of 150

delegates from thirty foreign coun-

tries' participated in the proceedings,

in addition to more than 200 American

delegates.



Included among the visitors were

twenty- five soil scientists from Russia.

Others came from Australia, New Zea-

land, India, Japan, South Africa, and

nearly all of the EufOpean and South

American countries.



Each delegation brought exhibits of

types of native soil,

the exhibit by the United States Bu-

reau of Soils, made a large display of

special interest to soil specialists and

students. The Russian delegates

brought with them two carloads of

soil specimens. The value of this ex-

hibit, which will be left in Washing-

ton, is estimated at more than $50,000.



Dr. J. G. Lipman, of New Jersey,

president of the International Con-

gress, says that this exhibit, which

includes types of soil from the differ-





which, including,

ent countries, may form the' nucleus

of a world museum of soils in Wash-

ington/probably under the direction of

the United States Department of Ag-

riculture. . 7 V





The papers and discussion were

mostly of a highly technical nature,

relating to‘ soil chemistry,’ soil physics

and nomenclature,

soil fertility, erosion, and land culti-

vation. It was pointed out that soil

washing causes an annual loss of

$100,00v,0001to thefarms of- the Unit-

ed States alone. It is a seroius prob-

lem in'ail countries.





During their stay in Washington

the delegates were taken by motor

bus on.an excursion to Western Mary-

land and the Valley of Virginia. On





June 22 the delegates stanted on a trans-





.soil bacteriology, ‘





continental trip, going by the south-

ern route to California and up the

coast to Vancouver, returning by the

northern route to the middle west.

and the east.





In the course of his address, Pres-

ident Coolidge said that, “with prac-

tically all our fertile land now under

cultivation, except for irrigation and

reclamation, further increases in total

production must come from increased

acre yields instead of from increased

acreage.





“Recognizing the fundamental im-

portance ‘of agriculture to the welfare

and happiness of all citizens, the Unit-

ed States government long ago adopt-

ed the policy of federal aid and sup-

port for agricultural education and re-

search.

ed by the President, with the consent

of the Senate.

riculture thus became one of the ex-

ecutive departments

government, and the secretary of ag-

riculture a member of the President’s

cabinet.



“From its humble beginning the

work of the United States Department

of Agriculture has steadily grown to

large proportions. It has a personnel

of more than 20,000 employes, with a.

total of $157,485,000 expended last

year under the supervision of the de-

partment.”

The Vitamin—-Friend or F 0e?





Bez72g a Chapter From “ Guyea' to Good Far722272’g’

By Hank Werner





ELIEVE it or not, but the farmer



of the future who snares a living



and four per cent on his invest-

ment, will know his vitamins—and he

will know them from ‘A to Z. Farming

used to be a collective gamble on the

weather, worms and interest rates.

And it still is. But in the near future

the thing that will tell whether the

farmer makes or breaks, is his atti-

tude towards, and respect for the

vitamins. ‘ .‘



Competition in this direction has al-

ready been noted and, no doubt, in

your own neighborhood you have seen

friendly fist fights and frolicsome

feuds spring up over .who raises the

best and biggest vitamins.



Whether we will admit it or not,

folks, the Vitamin is upon us and,

like the corn borer and high taxes,

we might as well get used to living

' with it, him, or her, as the case may

be. ' Since We have to put up with

them, why not learn more about them.

Whence Came they? Why So? And

what do they do, if anything?



The vitamin craze came upon us





just before, and as a preparation for " 7





business cycles and Jazz music. The

, difference being that vitamins are use-

' ful, perfectly helpless and, to date, not

"requiring ‘ prohibitory restrictions.





Farmers, and everybody else, have





,ponucal party 111s clainied credit or

e'ldmitted responsibility for their exist-





.' nae.





 





chaos. The word is obviously derived

from two common words, “vie,” mean-

ing to compete with, and ‘fptomainefl

meaning sick of canned goods. 'In

combining the two words it was nec-

essary to drop a few letters, which

have since been added by calling the





different varieties Vitamin A, Vitamin





E, and Vitamin P, which has not yet

been cOmpletely discovered.



The story of the discovery of vita-

mins is one of romance and intrigue,

pathos and heroism. Here’s how I

have it from one intimately acquaint—

ed with the facts, but not influenced

by them. A farmer, whose name is

withheld, noticed one of his Pole and

China hogs 'had trouble with his, or

her, eyes, and he (the farmer) began





“Feed her very' little for a few

days.” ,



“What shall I give her?”7he queried.



“Give her a bit 0’ bean hay, every

now and then.”



The farmer, being on a rural line,

couldn’t hear very well, and when the

doctor said “bite o’ bean hay,” he

thought he said “Vitamin A!”



Almost over night the news spread,

and in no time “Vitamins” were on

everybody’s tongue.



Then followed trying times for Vita-

min A. With no protection as an in-

fant industry, its monopolistic juris-

diction was under constant threat, and

was finally broken by other members

of the alphabet, B, C, D, and E. Oth-

ers are now being tracked to their





 





 





to wonder ‘what he would do with a

blind pig on his farm. He had never

known of astigmatism or other eye

troubles, bothering hogs, but just the

same he thought he’d better call the

family eye doctor”. Going to the tele-





phone he got the doctor on the line





and described the symptnma

rude gaze of a. vitamin- frenzied civili-

zation.



But what are the practical uses of

vitamins?





 





worth a brief mention. Vitamins, like

prohibition, have greatly increased the

sales of yeast cakes; they have made





'cod liver oil' a national beverage; they,





have made sunlight more of a neces-





they have





Although this is not an

important phase of the question, it is'





 





made it necessary to continue teaching

the alphabet to school children; and

they have made delectable and tooth-

some victuals out of formerly indi-

gestible and obscure vegetables. In





these and other ways, vitamins have _





proven their worth



Few people, indeed, have ever seen

the retiring vitamin, and he is known

mostly by his native habitat. For ex-

ample, Vitamin A is great stufl’ for’

growth and health, and occurs in

plenteous numbers in green vegeta-

bles, green pastures and green hay.

Is it not probable that Vitamin B





itself is green and imparts‘that color‘





to the thing it lives in, on, or with?



In like manner I might give vivid

and lu1id pictures of each and all of

the little helpers, but lack of space

more real relief to the middle western

other proposal for the improvement of

‘ their condition. The committee is

composed of representatives of the

farming business, and a larger

utilization of farm pxoducts is'the ob—

ject of the campaign now under way

for large1 appropriations for research

work in the depaitment of agriculture,

according to the farm organization

leaders who are promoting the move-

‘ ment.





TB WORK CONTINUES.





HE eradication of tuberculosis



from the dairy herds of the Unit-

ed States is fast becoming an accom-

plished fact. The latest report on tu-

belculosis eradication wo1k by the

bureau of animal industry in cooper-

ation with the states, shows that 12,-

436,324 cattle have been once tested

and free of tuberculosis, and that 17,-

245,535 cattle in 1,783,681 herds are

under supervision. North Carolina

holds the lead with seventy-four ac-

credited counties, followed by Michi-

gan with thirty-four, and Iowa with

thirty accredited counties.





PORK EXPORTS DECLINE.





A SHARP decline in exports of pork

products over last year, is noted

in a tabulation just made public .by

the department of commerce. Exports

of pork products from the principal

ports of the United States for the pe

riod January 1, 1927, to June 11,1927;

amounted to 418,994, 000 pounds, com-

pared with 513,599,000 pounds during

‘the same period Of 1926.

YOUNG CHICKS SUCCUMB TO



COCCIDIOSIS.





OCCIDIOSIS is causing consider-

able loss in young chicks in this

This disease usually accompa-

1’n’ies poor sanitary conditions around

i the poultry houses. Ground on which

in ted birds have been running is





a source of danger for a considerable





period after the diseased birds have '





been removed. No healthy chicks

should be placed in such quarters until

houses and runs have been thoroughly

disinfected.





POULTRY SCHOOLS IN MONROE.





HE attendance at four poultry



schools held in Monroe county

was 125. Residents of the county

have $454,800 invested in the poultry

business, according to census reports,

profits.





WANT FREIGHT RATES REDUCED.





‘FFORTS are being made by pro-



ducers of chicory in St. Clair coun~

ty to have railroad freight rates on

the crop reduced by the Interstate

Commerce Commission. While these

growers are especially interested in

the one crop, their appeal to the com-

mission was for a general reduction

of freight rates on agricultural prod-

ucts.

group :to buy and operate machinery

to care for their fruit trees. Most of

the men do not have orchard acreage

enough so that they can afford to buy

the equipment necessary 'to properly

care for their trees, but a group of

owners of small orchards can com-

bine and get the needed machinery at

a. minimum expense to each member.

’ 5mg DRAFT-ON THE BINDER.





"'6





 





 





SIDE‘draft on a binder becomes very

annoying, and may interfereser-

ibusly with its proper operation. Side

draft may be caused by a dull sickle,

or by anything which causes exces-

sively hard cutting, such as guards

out of line, worn and rounded ledger,

or cutting, plates on which the sickle

sections work, and so on. The rem-

edy here is to keep the sickles sharp.





' If the bearded sections are used, they





should be replaced with new sections

when they become worn. In fact,

most farmers use these sections much

longer than they should for efficient

service.



Likewise, the guards should be kept

properly aligned, so the knife sections

will rest on the ledger plates as the

knife moves back and forth. These

ledger plates are finished with a rough

beveled edge, so this bevel and that

on the sickle section make a shearing

cut, like a pair ofrscissors. If either

of these beveled edges is rounded, the

proper shearing action is destroyed,

hence the edges of the ledger plates

should be kept sharp. These ledger

plates” are extremely hard and will

break almost like glass, hence it is a

waste of time trying to file them. They

Could be removed and ground and will

give service for quite a while; but as

they cost only a few cents apiece, it

doesn’t pay to grind them. In putting

on newr ledger plates, one must handle

them very carefully, and quite fre—

quently the amateur repair man will

give the rivet just one stroke too many

and crack the plate. Hence it is well

to get an experienced man to put them

on, or else get two or three extras to

guard against such accidents.



Another cause for side draft is a

grain wheel bearing which is badly

worn, or which is not properly lubri-

cated. The remedy is obvious. To

locate causes of side draft or excessive

draft of any kind, block up the ma-

chine so the main wheel can be turned

by hand, and all the different parts

operated independently. Turn the

wheel carefully until you feel the pull

increase, then test the different parts

.until the part that binds is located.

Look for bent guards that cause the

sickle to bind; see that gears mesh

properly; see that chains are not too

tight and are not riding upon the

sprockets; see if the main wheel is

set square in the quadrants, as quite

frequently it will be started int-o the

quadrants one side a notch higher than

the other; see that all bearings turn

freely and are properly lubricated; and

avoid tight rollers, too tight canvasses,

or elevators that are not square. It

is a very simple matter to test the

squareness of the elevators by meas-

uring the diagonal distance between

rollers both ways with a couple of





light sticks held together in the hand.

If the two diagonals between any pair

of rollers varies more than one—fourth

inch, the proper adjustment should be

made.





HARDENING CONCRETE FLOORS.





 





What solution, if any, can be. ap-

applied to new concrete floors to hard-

en the-m?~——E. M.





The most practical treatment for

cement floors which seem soft and in-

clined to dust, is to saturate them

thoroughly with sodium silicate (wa-

terglass) as follows:



Wash the floor thoroughly with clear

water, scrubbing with a stiff broom or

scrubbing—brush, removing all dirt. Al—

low the surface to dry. Mix one part

waterglass (sodium silicate) of forty

degrees Baume test, with three to





the porosity of the concrete-tho done,





or the concrete the weaker the solu-

tion required.



Apply with a brush, one coat evenly

over the entire surface. .This‘ will

penetrate into the pores of the con?

crete. Allow the concretet-surface’to

dry, after‘twenty-four hours apply; an-

other 'coat- the same as .bcfore.n Again

allow the surface to dry, and apply

another coat. If, after twenty-four

hours the third coat is not flush With

the surface in any part of the floor,

apply another coat. That which re-

mains on the surface can be readily

removed, thus smoothing up the floor.

That which has penetrated into the

pores has come in contact with the

alkalies and salts in the conCrete- and

formed into an insoluble hard mineral





glue.

There are also on the market sev-

eral satisfactory commercial com-





pounds for keeping down dust and

hardening concrete surfaces. Informa-

tion concerning these can be secured

tion, Chicago, Illinois.





 





 





News and Views

From.INGLESIDE FARM—By Stanley Powell





 





 





AST Monday I took a truck-load

L of fat hogs and a veal calf down



to the stockyards. Of course,

they were shipped cooperatively

through the local farm bureau unit.

That is almost a part of my religion.

Both from ‘a theoretical and practical

standpoint I believe that live stock

and all other farm products should be

sold on grade to bring what it is

worth, quality considered. A flat price

virtually puts a premium on ignorance,

inefficiency and inferior quality, at the

expense of the producer of the better

product. .



Down at the stockyards I noticed

one lot of pigs that had just been de-

livered. At first glance they appeared

to be just about the kind of shoats

that I like to feed. They weighed

about a hundred pounds each, were a

uniform bunch, and had plenty of

scale. However, I observed that they

were fairly covered with sores, two or

three inches across. On closer exam-

ination the cause of the sores was not

difficult to‘ determine. These pigs

were almost literally being eaten alive

by hog lice.



It is hard to imagine a man so

hard—hearted that he would not have

felt at least a tinge of compassion for

these urifortunate shoats. I do not

know whether the sores were orig-

inally caused by the lice, or by the

hogs biting themselves in their frantic

efforts to combat their hideous and

relentless foes. Anyway, the sores

made it just that much easier picking

for the lice. They didn’t have to force

their augur—like sucking apparatus

through the tough hide, but swarmed





onto the sores and feasted lustily.

Hundreds of Happy Llice.



I had seen and. treated plenty of

ticky sheep and lousy cattle, but this

was my first experience with vermin-

infested swine. These lice were about

the size of sheep ticks and were so

thick that they could be seen by the

hundreds by a person looking over the

fence at them. The sight was enough

to make a man itch the rest of-the day

and have bad dreams at night. It is

not unthinkable that a World War

veteran, reminded of his cootie days,

might have gone raving mad.



But to get back to the stockyards.

These pigs interested me and I

thought I'd like to see what could be

done with them. So I loaded them

into a truck and took them home. Be-

fore they were unloaded at Ingleside

Farm, they were thoroughly sprayed

with a strong solution of a well—known

and dependable stock dip which has

been a stand-by on our farm for years.

The spraying was supplemented by the

vigorous use of a brush, so that all

parts of the body were reached.





Hogs Quarantined.



To be sure that this was going to

do the business, the pigs were left in

the truck for an hour or two after

their bath, and then carefully exam-

ined. Not a living louse could be

seen. Most of the dead ones had drop-

ped off. However, abundant quantities

of eggs, or nits, gave warning that

the battle might not be permanently

won so easily.



The pigs were not allowed the use

of any portion of the hog house, but

were placed in quarantine on an old





:witnout having on hog house 11 cited





 

   

   

   

   

 

 

   





With vermin.





- To put the finishing. touches up .. j-





those lice, I’m going to drain the oil .

from my car, saturate several .oid





burlap . sacks-t in it, and wind (theme.





around a ‘post‘i‘n the’ho‘g lot so that

the bags can keep! themselves well ~ '

oiled for a. wh.ile If their bristles are

as oily as a sheik's hair, it will be

good- bye ticks.



Now that ‘you- have had the Story,

perhaps a word of comment might not

be amiss. From .a ”money standpoint

alone, the man who was putting feed

and labor into these unlucky hogs .wais

Certainly batting his ‘head against *a

stone wall, or, in Scriptural language,

“Kicking against the pricks.” The

man who brought these pigs in to the

stockyards said that he had “decided

not to feed them any more.” Probably

his gain was negligible or negative.





,He wasn't feeding hogs. He was pais-





turing lice.



But humanitarian considerations dic-

tate that such a matter is not merely

one~of dollars and cents. If a man

presumes to raise dumb animals and

keep them in. confinement, simple

decency and justice provide that they.

should not be forced to harbor a whole

blood-sucking menagerie upon their

hides



Cruelty to Animals.



Talk about cruelty to animals.

Those hogs were the innocent victims

of a terribly cruel and totally unwar—

ranted fate. The man who' allowed

those lice to thrive and fatten while

the hogs suffered and grew thin from

misery and loss of blood, was just as

morally guilty as if he had lashed

them furiously with a cat-o’-nine-tails

made out of barbed wire.



In prayers the request is sometimes

made that we be forgiven for our sins

of commission and omission. Certain

ly cruelty to farm live stock may be

of either breed. Often times the

things that we should do for our dump

animals, but fail to do, cause them

more misery and loss of flesh than

the worst vengeance which we might

heap upon them in our darkest Jud

most 11eg temper.



To send the lice to their “happy

hunting ground," and to free the hogs

from the misery of boarding a stand-

ing army of unwelcome invaders, took

but a few moments’ time and a few

cents worth of dip. It would seem

probable that this small investment

will yield abundant returns. Big divi-

dends of satisfaction have already

been coming ‘in to the shoats and

to us;





Flora Wacker tried Chinese cabbage

last year and found it was a great

salad plant. She says you ought to

. plant it in very rich, mellow soil, and

then thin the plants enough so they

will grow quickly into large, succulent

cabbages.——Sunshine Hollow.

€AMERICAN“ farmers are deeply"iii-': "





terested' in the foreign policy of

‘ their government,’according to Senator





Arthur Capper, Who, in a statement in _





foreign affairs, says:

_ - "Shippers call attention to the vast

advantage which the Panama Canal

gave eastern manufacturers, and ex-

press a belief that this aid, and the

steep railroad freight rates, have plac-

ed a ring around the commercial de-

velopment of the middle west. With

this has come a threat. to organize a

middle west chamber of commerce,

which would not concern itselfvgwith

the interests of the protected east. And

now it'is alleged by many of the bus-

iness men of the middle west, since

Congress has failed to take any ag-

gressive action on the St. Lawrence

waterway, and the President has ve-

toed the McNary Haugen bill, that the

only way in which theindqstrial east

can be'brought to its senses is by a.

drastic revision of the tariff and im-

migration laws._”



Reviewing the agricultural situation



during and after the World War, and

the come-back of industry while agri-

culture has lagged since the beginning

of the after-war depression, Senator

Capper says that farmers contend

that the tariff and immigration laws,

which have given protection from for-

eign competition to both capital and

labor, have helped the cities greatly,

.and also have aided in placing agri-

culture in an inferior economic posi-

tion. The farmers, afflicted with

their much discussed surplus in most

,farm products, have been mostly in

the extraordinary position of selling in

a market governed largely by world

levels and buying in a protected home

market. That is the basis for what

many individuals in the east regard

as an unduaclamor from the middle

west ,

I .r When this economic slough be-

came fairly well defined, following the

depression of 1920, the agricultural

leaders turned to a study of how the

business of fanning could be placed

On the American price level. The

.late Henry C. Wallace, then secretary

of agriculture, was quite active in this

investigation, and the McNary—Haugen

,bill was the result.



The middle west has turned its eyes

abroad as it never has done before.

This is a signpost of hope in the de-

velopment of our nation as a world

power. Out of it will come a richer

.knowledge of life, a‘greater sympathy

with peoples in other lands, and a

larger appreciation of what it—zmeans

.to be an American citizen.

APPLE GRADERS CONSIDER

‘ - GRADES.





 





I THE apple'agrowers and shippers of





Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West

Virginia, New York, New Jersey and

New England were represented at the

conference called by the standardiza-

tioncommittee of the division of fruits

and vegetables, in the bureau of agri-

cultural economics, for the purpose of

considering possible changes'in the

,United States standards for _apples.

The present grades were discussed,

with the result that an agreement was

reached that certain changes are de-

sirable which will make the grades

more definite and-practicable. It was

decided that certain minor blemishes

in the fancy grade should be permit-

ted. It was also agreed to include in

the United States standards the ex-

port standards to be used in certifica-

tion for export. The grades will be re-

vised at onCe and issued in time for

the new packing season.





 





'AN OLD - REMEDY.





 





EOPLE are always complaining



about their fruit trees and their

apples not being good, and that they

haven’t the -time to spray them. The

wife can spray'them on wash daylif

she would take her wash water, a pail,

and an old dipper, or anything that

would- hold- water, and throw it all

over the trees. She is getting rid of

the water from around the house, and

also killing some insects. If we all

did our little bit, we wouldn’t have to

spend so much for keeping our trees

clean of scabs and diseases—Mrs. W.





ERADICATING DANDELIONS.





 





Is there any method of exterminat-

mg dandelions from a lawn, outside of

digging them up?—O. N.



Dandelions may be eradicated in the

lawn by the use of iron sulphate

spray. The chemical is diluted at the

rate of one pound .to one gallon of

water. It is sprayed on the lawn with

a fine spray, four or five times during

the season, applying two days after

mowing. It acts by gradually killing

the leaves of the dandelion and thus

starving the roots. The grass itself

may get browned for a short time, but

will recover quickly—Alex Laurie.





DIFFERENT BLOSSOMS ON ROSE.





 





I have a pink rambler, about ten

years old, which has always blossom-

ed early in July. This year part of

itrbloomed with large, fragrant single

roses in the middle of June, while





ular time. Why is this ?—Mrs. L. S.



The custom is to draft the Rambler

roses on roots of other varieties. Fre—

quently it happens that stock on which

the Rambler is grafted will send up

suckers which grow up among the

canes of the Rambler and finally pro-

duce flowers. It is probable that this

is the trouble in this case.





If it is desired to preserve the

Rambler rose, this sucker from the

stock should be followed back and cut

off well below the ground, as other-

wise it will be apt to crowd out the

Rambler and leadto its death, leaving

merely the variety represented by the

stock which is not so desirable as the

clan grafted, upOn it.‘—'E. A. Bessey.

When cat-alpa trees are young, the

tips of the stems are often tender and

kill back. Although sprouts would be

sent up, they generally result (in a.

very crooked trunk. To avoid this, it

is advisable, when the trees have been

grown two years in nursery rows, to

cut back the young trees within two

or three inches of the ground and a1:

conditions will often reach a height.





of six or eight feet in one season,

thus securing a straight trunk.





For the best results, the trees in

the nursery row should be cultivated

and hoed once or twice each year for

three or four years. If a good stand

is secured, it is often possible to thin

out‘the trees after three or four years,

using the surplus for lawn or roadside

planting, for windbreaks, screens, or

in blocks to be grown for fence posts.

For this purpose, there may be four

feet between the rows, and two or

three feet in the rows. Of course, the

seeds are developed in the pods, but

REVERBEVARING STRAWBERRIES.





 





Will-you pleasetell me how to‘ take

Care of Eyerbearing strawberries and

Ever-bearing raspberries? I was told

to pick allithe first blossoms and they

would hear better during the summer.

Do- I have. to doithat?—Mrs. 'H. ,S.



The care of the Everbearing straw—

berries and raspberries are very sim-

ilar to that of the ordinary spring

bearing” varieties. Both are planted.

early‘in‘ the spring and should be well

fertilized and cultivated during the

first season of growth. As the Ever-

bearing varieties of strawberries bear

fruit the first year, it is advisable to

keep all blossoms removed until about

the first of July, in order to develop

good strong crowns which will be able

to bear a full crop of fruit during the

following summer and fall months. It

is not necessary toremove blossoms

from the Everbearing raspberries.

These bear some fruit in the spu‘ng,

and also hear a considerable crop durw

ing the late fall months—R. E. Loree.

LINE FENCE.





 





Can a prosecuting attorney charge

a fee of $75 for settling a dispute be-

tween two men? Can a county sur-

veyor determine a. line, making it

stand good and lawful? Can a man

build, a fence four rods on my land,

taking in my post? The ground was

forbidden for that purpose. Can :I

hold that fenceft—F. H.





If the prosecuting attorney is con-

sulted and furnishes services upon re-

quest of private persons without agree-

ment as to payment, he is entitled to

recover from them whatever his ser-

vices are reasonably worth, and there

is no definite ’rule by which to deter—

mine the- charge. The county survey-

or has no authority to establish a line.

The building of a fence on the land of

another without his consent, is a tres-

pass, and the owner of the land may

remove the fence; but in the case of

a line fence dispute, the removal of

the fence has no tendency to dispose

of the dispute. If they cannot settle

it, suit is the only way to decide it.





HEIRSH IP PROPERTY.





 





My father-in-law had forty acres of





' land, Of which twenty acres was to go





to his son, ten acres to my wife, ten

acres to her daughter by former mar-

riage, and my mother-in-law was to

have a life lease of the land. The

property was probated after the death

of my father—in-law. My wife died

about five years after the death of

her father, and now my mother-in-law





has passed away. Will the property ,-





have to be probated again? Will my

wife‘s daughter get my wife’s share,

or would Iget it ?—-J. P. ~





' No, new administration is necessary‘





of the estate of the mother-in-law; but

the estate of the wife "should be pro.-





/bated, andthe land will descend to

The answer to your problem will

depend entirely on the terms of your

lease. Under the ordinary fifty-fifty

lease, you would not have a right to

doubt and fear. As all the members

of the Brown family hurried about

their appointed tasks, doubt gave way

to renewed hope. Why, many a child

had strayed away from home, to re-

turn safe and sound in a few hours.

By the time the Fernandez family had

arrived, Mrs. Fernandez, voluble and

excited, Juanita, warm in her expres-

sions of sympathy, even Mother

Brown, to a degree, had thrown off

the mantle of fear which had envel-

oped, her. Yet, the most badly needed

member of the party could not be

reached for, as was‘not unusual, the

“party line” leading to. the Miller

homestead was out of commission and,

ring as he might, Hal could not get

through.



“I'll hop into the flivver and run

“We hadn’t intended to say any-

Father Brown, “But the facts are, I’m

worried more about the possibility of

Little Joe having been kidnapped than

being lost. We had a visitor one night

a few weeks ago.” And then, as Fer-

nandez listened attentively, Father

Brown told of 'the strange intruder.



“Did Hal get a good look at him?”

inquired the Spaniard, whose speech

betrayed nothing of his ancestry.



“Not enough so he could identify,”

answered Father Brown. “The fellow

dived for his hole the minute Hal's

light flashed. We can’t imagine who

it could have been.”





“Strange,” mused Fernandez. “By

Every Inch 21 Man





Our Weekly Sermon—By N. A. McCune





HE people said they wanted a



king. Just why, they themselves



perhaps would have been un-

able to say. It was the style to have

kings, for one thing, and for another,

a king would bring the country to-

gether in one unit, as nothing else

would. I remember a number of years

ago, I had been in England, and on

returning landed at Montreal. As we

got off the ship I noticed a mail box

on the wharf, and on it were the let-

ters, “G. R.” Those were the same

letters that'were on the mail boxes

in England, and at once it flashed on

me that this is the part played .by

the British king. He unifies the Em-

pire. Different statesmen, different

prime ministers in Canada, Australia,

South Africa, but the same king. “G.

R.” George, Rex, everywhere in the

Empire. And the people of Israel, no

doubt, thought that a king would help

bring them together.





Of course, this was contrary to the

teachings of their prophets and priests.

These had enjoined upon them the

necessity of hav-

ing no king but

God. not a men-

archy, but a the-

ocracy; of being

a people so will-

ing to obey the

voice of God that

they would re-

quire no other rul-

er. Butvthe peo-

ple were not equal to this high

standard.



The monarch they had chosen was

tall and good looking. “There was not

among the children of Israelagoodlier

person than he: from his shoulders

and upward’he was higher than any

of his people.” That word goodly is

a favorite in the Bible and means at

least three things: good looks, big-

ness, and» kindness, or graciousne-ss.

They liked the idea of their king be-





ing a big man and powerful. I’ve been _





reading Carl Sandburg’s life of Lin-

coln lately. Lincoln was brought up

in rough times, when rough men ruled.

One reason why he got along so well

was, that he had arms like steel ca~

bles, and could throw any antagonist.

One of the river pilots on the Ohio in

Lincoln’s boyhood, was

half alligator." Said he, “I’m one o’

the toughest—live forever, and then

turn into a white oak post. I can

out run, out jump, out swim, chaw

more tabacca, and spit less,

more whiskey and keep soberer than

any man in these parts.” Lincoln had

to meet and win just such men. So

did Saul. '





But Saul was modest. He did not

blow nor brag, at least not in his

early days. He is always apologizing

and recoiling from the publicity he is

getting. “Am I not a Benjamite, of

the smallest tribes of Israel, and my

family the least of all the families of





the tribe of Benjamin?” he asks. When . I

ipeople asked him what Samuel said tom ,





‘him, when he ‘was secretly anointed

king, he said,





of the kingdom whereof Samuel spake,

he told him not.” On the day of his

public election he'had to be searched

for, and dragged before the people.

When scoffers said, “Shall this man

save us?" he made no reply, but went

back into private life, and plowed his

fields with. his oxen.



In this he reminds us of General

Grant. On the day of Lee’s surren-

der, Lee was in, full dress uniform,

while Grant wore plain soldier’s

clothes. One might have thought it

was Grant. surrendering to Lee. He

built up his army with big men.

“When Saul saw any strong man, or

any valiant man, he took him unto

him.” No one but himself could wear

his huge armor. He was blest'with

extraordinary physical advantages.



Well, he could not stay at home and

work the farm. always, if he were go-

ing to be king. ‘But he was waiting

for an opportunity, and it 'came.

Across the Jordan was the settlement

of Jabesh. The Philistines were ad-

vancing and Jabesh wanted to make

peace with these fighting men. The

proposition the Philistines' made was,

that the right eye of each man of Ja-

besh should be put out, and then they

would live at peace with them! Word

was sent the young king. His timidity

vanished, and he arose, a man in

mighty wrath. Sending out a piece of

the-flesh of one of his oxen to every

man in the hill-country round about

as a signal to rally to his standard,

he and his rough-and-ready spearmen

fell upon the Philistine garrison and

scattered them far and wide. This

was his first great victory, and it set-

tled him in the office of king. He Was

still king only of a small portion of

the country, but he gradually extend-

ed his authority over the nation.



Where are our great men coming

from, in the next generation? Let us

ask that question in all seriousness.

They used to come from farms, and

still great numbers come from that

wholesome source. But fewer of the

population is on, the land now, and

more are in cities and towns. Hence,

it is necessary to bring to bear the

very best influences possible on all

our young people. Who is to be the

big man of tomorrow? One may come

from your community. He may not

be in politics. He may' choose business"

and control the lives and earthly des-~

tinies of thousands of employes. He

requires a good body, clear brains,

moral character, backed by the teach~

ings of religion. The factors that-

make strong men are the same in.»

every, age.

a UMMER'I'IME and hot weather

. S are always feared by mothers of

tiny babies, the second summer

being most dreaded, yet with proper

precautions, you need not worry. You

must be careful, and perhaps spend

more time preparing food and caring

for baby, but a well baby is worth a

little extra care, and takes much less

of your time than a sick one, at that.

My baby was hardly up to average

weight his first summer, yet he was

not sick once with so-called “summer

complaint.” I was adding vegetable





juices to his diet, according to a nu--





trition bulletin. I tried each vegeta-

ble separately, half a teaspoonful at

first, once a day, to see the effect, be-

' fore increasing the dose. 1 found

spinach juice quite laxative, but not

too much so, and he could take as

much as two tablespoonfuls a day, af-

ter he was used to it. Carrot juice

was less laxative, and he liked it.

Turnip and onion juice I discontinued

after one trial, as being too laxative.



The second summer these vegeta-

bles had all been added to his diet,

and he took them strained and mash-

ed, and I was merely careful that they

were clean, fresh, well cooked, and

served in small amounts. I was care—

ful to see that he had the right kind

of diet (very day, and whilel did_not

measure by spoonfuls, I was so used

to feeding him, that I estimated the

amounts with my eye, and when he

had been served enough of his favor-

ite spinach or creamed carrot, the last

mouthful was “all,” and he knew that

' crying would not bring him more.



Careless Feeding Causes Trouble.



It seems to me that careless feeding

is responsible for most summer ill-

nesses. Too much of a laxative vege-

table may start a diarrhea, which is

hard to stop. I found that baby could

take all of the fruit juices, strained,

also scraped apple, and these were a

welcome change from orange juice, or

addition to it, as most of the fresh

fruits are rich in vitamins.



Three-or—four-year—olds must be care-

ful of the seeds in raspberries. Small

babies may have a teaspoonful of'the

strained berry juice. The trouble

comes when tiny children are big

enough to help themselves to plums

or grapes in the garden. They should

not be: allowed to eat between meals,

and these are healthful fruits if the

quantity is limited at meal time.



If you are not certain your milk is

clean, best pas teurjze it at-140 de-

grees for thirty minutes, then cool

quickly, or else boil five minutes, mak-

ing up for vitamins diminished by

boiling, by the addition of fruit and

vegetables juices. Bacteria multiply

rapidly in warm milk. It must be

kept covered, at about fifty degrees

after its rapid cooling after milking.

It is measured just before serving to

baby. Even in hot weather, do not

give it to baby cold, but warm it to

seventy to eighty degrees, pouring a

drop on the back of the hand to test.



Keep Milk Safe.



If milk is protected from germs fly-

ing in the air, and kept in clean scald—

ed utensils, it is safe. Bacterial infec-

tion from milk may cause typhoid, ’and

diarrhea.

factory make-shift way of enclosing a

porch. I used this one summer, leav-

ing baby on the side porch all day,

and until nine o’clock at night, when

I went to bed,>bringing his bed inside,

beside the screened door. I took his

bed out first thing in the morning,

where he could have plenty of fresh

air, using the bed as a play pen.



The first summer he wore just as





tremely hot days I bathed his forehead

and wrists with cool water, but did

not hold him on my lap, except when

bathing him. An extra bath in the

evening seemed to cool and relax him

ready for bedtime. Yes, I did go to

lots .of trouble making him comfort-

able, but he was well, and didn’t get

sick; during the warm'weather.



Once a tendency toward diarrhea

started, and I immediately put him on

a. diet of barley water for a, day, grad-

ually adding a little boiled, skim-milk,

GARM ENT-FITTING PROBLEMS

DISCUSSED. '





 





HE cost of fitting garments, and



the loss through misfits make up

an important part of the eight and

one—half billion dollar". annual clothing

bill of the United States. Because of

the high cost of labor and materials,

more attention is now being given to

reducing this part of the bill. One

m0ve in this direction is the recent

publication, by the United States De

partment of Agriculture of Farmers’=

Bulletin 1530—F, Fitting Dresses and

Blouses, by Maude Campbell, of the

bureau of. home economics.

' Recent surveys show that women

who do their own seizing have more

difficulty with altering patterns and

fitting garments than with any other

part of garment construction. By fol-

lowing the directions that have been"

worked out, much valuable time and

material may be saved. Directions, are

given for fitting dresses and blouses

to shoulders, neck, bust, hips, and oth-

er parts of the body, and remedies

are suggested for fifty common fitting

difficulties. There are also many illus-

trations showing the correct position

for shoulder and armscye.

tained free on 'reqeust to the United

prise.



“Buzz, buzz, buzz, z-zz-zzz, I’m Mr.

Bumble Bee and I’ve come to steal

your honey,” announced the Bumble

Bee. The burly Bumble Bee, with his

hairy body and yellow velvet vest,

was nearly twice as large as any of

the .Honey Bees, and he frightened

them.



“You must not steal our honey. 'We

need it for our winter food,” begged

one of the bravest of the Honey Bees

who had been sucking honey from a

clover blossom near by.





“I’ll show you," bragged the burly

Bumble Bee as he stroked his yellow

“Buzz,'buzz, buzz, z—zz-zzz,” he com-

“No, no, no, no,” hummed all the

“Then I’ll walk right in,” said Bum-

But the door was so small that when

could get noiarther.



“Ha, ha, ha, hum, hum, hum!”

laughed the Honey Bees as they flew

about. Then Bumble Bee wiggled and

wiggled until he was free again. He

felt very much ashamed, and his yel-

low velvet vest was very crumpled and

dirty. He flew right back to his own

house on the other side of the mead-

ow and decided it was best not to

take things that did not belong to him,

even if,he were bigger than the Honey

Bees. After this he would eat his

'ow-nahoney, evenif it was not as clear

l ; Th6 work I le6 and Why ’





By T we Prominent M. (3’1 .'





' HE work which I enjoy doing

, most of all is working in my

flower garden, and I can offer



two reasons for my choice.



First, I' am responsible to no one

for it. Nobody has asked me to spend

my time digging under the warm sum-



.mer sun, and probably nobody cares

very much whether I do or not. But

this I know——if I was asked to spend

those hours hoeing beans, (which is,

in reality, far easier), I would not en-

joy it in the least.



Then, too, I like the work because

I am fond of flowers. It is useless for

me to rave about their “ethereal, ce-

lestial beauty,” or the supreme joy of

working “near nature.” The poets

have done that repeatedly, and far

better than I could. I think Some-

times the beauty of a flower lies chief-

ly in the difficulties encountered in

procuring it. When I finally succeed-

ed in coaxing two red tulips to bloom

this spring after failing before, they

seemed to me the loveliest tulips I had

ever seen, although they were in real-

ity considerably smaller than most of

their kind.



The pansy is also one of,my favor-

ltes. I enjoy waiting for each bud to

burst so that I can look into the face

of the new flower, for never does it

seem just the same as the last. They

are something like human beings in

that respect, and indeed, I, think they

bear a marked resemblanCe to the hu-

man face. I like to think of them as

the flowers with personalities.



I think, also, that a person’s love for

flowers should be measured by the ef-

fort he has made to raise them, rather

than by the results obtained. A mil-

lionaire is usually termed a lover of

flowers because he merely spends a

poor woman who works all day and

has time only to plant a tiny garden,

is not recognized as a “lover Of flow-

At any rate, it is only the person

who works directly with the flowers

who appreciates them, and the idealist

. than the grimy soil in the spring, is

However, there is a certain kind of

work that I enjoy doing better than

anything else that I can think of just

now. I like to do odd jobs. I like to

do things that will help‘ to improve

the appearance of my home. I like

to paint, and mow weeds, and plant

vines and shrubbery, build lattice-

work, and work in the garden. An-





other thing I like to do is to delve‘





into forgotten nooks and corners,

where usually a heterogenous accum-

ulation of junk has collected, and





give them a real good cleaning- up.



There' are various reasons" why I,

particularly enjoy this kind of work.

For one thing, there is the element of

surprise. You never’ know what you

are going to discover next. It may

be some old toy that you played with,

in your slightly younger days, or it

may be'some tool that has. been miss-

almost anything in a place like that.

Dear Uncle Frank:



1 notice one of our members would

like to know what flowers are for.

Here is a little verse I made up after

reading his letter:



Flowers are the day stars,



Full of beauty and grace;

They comfort us in weary days



And beautify every lonely place.

Flowers are the comfort of the sick,



The beauty of the earth,



The delight of all children,



The bringer of joy and mirth. _



I certainly agree with Horst Beyer

about its Being all right for a man to

shave on the street if a girl can pow-

der her face. I don’t powder or paint,

and dislike to see those who do. I

don’t mind if they don’t have too much

on, but most of them are painted up

like a wild Indian.



Will say good—bye now. Hoping Mr.‘

W. B. has gone to a dance with his

best girl, Anna Hoyt.



W. B. is usually too full for dancing,

so if his best girl goes to a dance I

have to take her. Your flower verse

is good, and I agree that some girls

put on too much war paint. -





 





Dear Uncle Frank:





The letters that the other club

members write are very interesting.

I agree with Beatrice Severens on hav-

ing to do the contests alone. I don’t

think it’s fair. Do you think music

is nice, Uncle Frank? I do. . '



Wishing to be an M. C., Fay Willer,



I hope that all M. C.’s think as you

and Beatrice do about working con-

tests. To accept reward for what oth~





ers have done is not right.





 





Dear Unk and M. C.’s:



Atta kid, Anna Wrona! You said

something when you said boys gave

up more quickly than girls do. ,

two brothers and a number of'sisters,

and have watched them grow lrom

small tots, but never once have I seen

have witnessed contests in athletics

girls, and always the girls stickjto-it- 7 ..

the sick child until it is made well by

her undying patience in caring for it;

and it is woman’s patience that for-

gives our mistakes.



Who sticks by you longer, and tries

to make you worth while? It isn’t

dad. He gets angry and gives up.

Men can make a big show, but when

it comes to real patience and perse-

verance, give me a woman.



It takes courage for men to fight

battles, but believe me, it takes just

as much courage and patience to stay

behind the lines and care for the sick.

In the late war the valor and perse-

veranCe of the nurse won the honor

of every doughboy.



_I like men, big he-men, athletic,

gentlemanly men, men that are courte-

ous and strong-willed. None of these

lounge lizards for me. Let’s hear

what kind of girls and boys you other

M. C.’s prefer.



Uncle Frank, I like the bobbed hair

and knicker question because every-

body knows something about it.——Just

a. “Dreamy Flapper.”





I guess I won’t take sides on this

question. I am glad you don’t like

lounge lizards. The popularity of

Lindbergh shows that people like

clean, courageous and modest men.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I am enclosing my money for the

crippled children at the‘ Children's

Hospital. I hope all the M. C.’s con-

tribute a little, too. I hope the chil-

dren enjoy the,- radio. It certainly is

a splendid gift for them. Something

which will bring all the news to them,

even though they can’t go out. and

enjoy what we enjoy—Peggy. ' '



I, too, hope that each M. C. will do

his duty'toward the fund. We need a.





lot more money, tobuy that radio. -





 





Dear Uncle Frank: . ,



After I receive enough education, I

would like to be either a movie star or

a musician. ' My parents want me. to

be a teacher, which I have not much

desire to be. Many of myfriends and

relatives want me- to be a movie star,

WhatIWill Your Pullets be?





W 27/ You Care to Make Certain Your Prediction

By J. P. Hoekzema





THE poultrylbusiness certainly goes

around in a circle. One some

times hardly knows where to start in,

for one should have good strong hens

to produce eggs that would hatch into

strong, vigorous chicks that would

make good healthy pullets, etc. How-

ever, right now one should have his

chicks fairly well brooded, (one can’t

say without a fire, for the way the

weather has been up to June 1, one

needed his “heavies” and a fire every

'day and night). Nevertheless, the

birds should be fairly well started.





Take, for example, two men both

raising chickens; both men got their

chicks from the same hatchery—same

breed of chickens coming from same

flock, only one’s chicks were two

weeks. younger—«yet they were just as

large, even though they were hatched

two weeks earlier. If they are the

same size at five and six weeks, think

of the difference there will be by fall

——«which means a difference in egg» pro-

duction—especially when eggs are

high.



When one has invested perfectly

good money in baby chicks, bought

prepared chick feeds, etc.,—and yet,

after the chicks have commenced to

feather out, nicely, he lets them shift

for themselves, that is rather‘foolish.





Do you feed your chicks a good

growing mash when they are feather-

ed, or are feathering out—say when

they are eight weeks old or older—-

especially you farmers, for a commer-

cial poultryman knows he has to in

order to make a good profit? If it

pays‘ the commercial poultryman, don’t

you think it will pay you, Mr. Farmer?

Oh, yes, we read about the individual

who cleared $3.80 per hen and just

fed them yellow corn and skim—milk,

or about the individual who gets win-

ter eggs while her neighbors get none,

and all she feeds is yellow corn and

Skim-milk. Such cases are undoubted-

ly true, but at the present time, are

‘ the exceptions rather than the rule. It

is hard to find a- better feed than skim-

milk, but many poultry raisers do not

have enough, and therfore mash con-

taining a fairly high percentage of an-

imal protein is necessary.





A proper ration consists of (1-

scratchfeed, (unless one has his birds

on the all mash system of feeding),

(2) mash which usually contains

ground corn and oats, bran, middlings

and meat scraps or tankage, alfalfa

meal, etc.;v (3) animal feeds, as milk,

etc (4) minerals, oyster shells, char-

coal, etc.; (5) green feed; (6) water.

Vitamins. especially cad liver oil, is

often added, only that is especially

true during the winter and early

spring months.



Just because the young chicks are

" on. range, one should not (bacon-m



m not out dewn very'





much on the percentage of animal

protein, for if the range is fairly

densely populated, there will not be

nearly enough bugs and worms to go

around. The United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture found out that

when pullets out on free range, but

without any, animal feed, like meat

scraps, etc., except what they found

themselves, laid only ninety eggs each

in a year, whereas, those pullets on

the same range which were given

meat scraps, laid 125 to 150 eggs each.



On a little different experiment over

at Wisconsin University, some of the

hens were given mash only during

the winter, and laid an average of

ninety eggs each, while those that had

mash all the year laid an average of

120 eggs. The summer is the grow-

ing time—the formative period for the

growing pullet, and if one stints on

proper feed now, he will stunt her

HE public’s appetite for pork

products has a sound basis. Ba.-

con and eggs are no accidental

combination. Neither is a ham sand-

wich. There are scientific reasons

which explain also, why the energetic

American people consume pork so lib-

erally. In recent years the consump-

tion of pork has amounted to about

fifty per cent of the total meat dietary

in the United States, according to es—

timates of the Bureau of Animal In-

dustry, United States Department of

Agriculture.



Investigations conducted by Ralph

Hoagland, biochemist. of the same bu~

reau, and his associates, show many

striking facts concerning products de-

rived from the lowly hog. The com-





 





Pork Shows High Food Value

Content: of Proteins, Fat: and Wtamim Exp/at): Popularity





a. higher nutritive value than those-

found in wheat, corn, rice, oats, and.





navy beans—that is, when each pred-

uct is the only source of protein in

the diet.



Recognizing that most foods are

consumed in mixed diet, Mr. Hoagland

and other investigators have conduct-

ed an extensive series of experiments

with albino rats to answer the ques-

tion, “What is the value of protein in

pork as well as in other meats, when





.it is consumed with vegetable and





grain products. ‘7” In general, they

found that meat proteins not only have

as’ high nutritive value when fed in a

mixed diet as when fed alone, but that

they greatly increase the nutritive val-

Ue of the cereal proteins. Thus the





 





 





 





 





bined results of chemical analyses and

feeding experiments with small ani-

mals during a. period of ten years, ex-

plain many of the food habits which

appetite brought about long before

their scientific explanations were

known. In feeding tests, Mr. Hoag-

land has used approximately 4,000 al-

bino rats. Because their nutritive re-

quirements are similar to those of

man, these small animals are com-

monly used in such tests. They grow

rapidly, reproduce at short intervals,

and are easy to handle.

Ham and Eggs For Vitamins. _



Among the most" important experi-

ments are those dealing with the mys-

terious but essential food substances

known as vitamins. The work has

shown lean pork to be rich in Vitamin

B, but, on the other hand, low in the

fat-soluble Vitamin A. But when one

considers that so many pork products

are commonly eaten with eggs, whiCh

are rather low in Vitamin. B, but rich

in Vitamin A, the nutritive value of

the combination is apparent Thus

meals containing ham and eggs, or

bacon and eggs, furnish a. liberal sup-

ply of these two important food ele

ments, besides fat, protein, minerals,

and other; desirable constituents.

Nutritive Value of Pork Protein.

VOther important results. of the gov-

emment’s studies in the biochemistry

of meat, show the value of pork in

combination with cereal and vegetable

products. Until a few years ago it

was commonly ' ' assumed that, with

some exceptions, a pound of di-

gestible protein in one food product

had practically the same food value as:

Now, as the re

proteins in the bread of a. ham sand-

wich becomes more nutritious when

eaten in combination with the meat.



Composition of Pork Cuts Varies



. Widely.



Another unusual quality of the hog

is the Widely varying composition of

different parts of its body. Moisture

content ranges from about eight per.

cent in the back fat, to more than

sixty-six per cent in tenderloin. Pra-

tein varies from about four per cent





to more than twenty-four per cent in '





different cuts. Fat ranges from thir-

teen" to ninety per cent, depending on

the portion‘ of the carcass selected.

The mineral portion of the meat, chem-

ically spoken of as ash, ranges from

one-tenth of one per cent to more than.

two per cent in different cuts.



These variations, in connection with

familiar differences in flavor, enable

the skillful cock to serve dishes of

equal relish to a. laborer or to an office

worker, each product containing dif-

ferent proportions of the food con-

stituents, though from the same ani-

mal. ' Boiled ham, for instance, as it

is purchased, sliced, at the market, is-

richest in protein, whereas clear fat

Salt pork contains little protein, but

is very rich in fat.



Keeping Quality a Factor.



It is estimated that approximately

twenty per cent of pork cuts are sold

in fresh condition, and the remaining

eighty per cent as mixed products. The

physical and chemical properties of

pork make it especially suited for our-

ing and smoking, and with the ex-

ception of a few cuts, the? cured and





melted products are commonly pre- .. ,





tented to the fresh ones.

calories, .which is {about three times

as great as the number of calories or-

dinarily consumed by the average per-

son at a meal.



Digestibil‘ity of Pork Same as Chicken.



Meats of all kinds have been found

in‘previou‘s investigations reported by

the United States Department of Agri-

culture to be among the most digesti-

ble of human food products. Pork

compares favorably with other meats

in this quality. It also digests read-

ily, as shown by the observations of

other workers who found that pork

digests. completely and leaves the

stomach in approximately three hours

and fifteen minutes. In comparative

tests, pork was digested in the stom-

ach slightly more rapidly than turkey,

in the same time as chicken, and

slightly more slowly than beef or lamb.

The difference in the average time of

digestion among the various meats,

however, is considered to be of slight

significance. ,



A Versatile Food.



In summing up his experimental

work, and after considering the results

of other investigators in the field of

biochemical research and nutrition,

Mr. Hoagland concludes that, from a

scientific standpoint, pork is justly en-

titled to the high place which it has

already assumed in the American diet.

It is particularly valuable as a source

of fat and energy; it contains a fair

proportion of protein of excellent qual-

ity, and a liberal amount of Vitamin

B. On account of its high energy val-

ue, pork is particularly valuable as a

food for persons engaged in heavy

manual labor. The leaner cuts, how-

ever, such as ham, tenderloin, and

chops, may be eaten interchangeably

with other meats, even by persons

leading sedentary lives.

WHEAT.





After fluctuating over a very narrow

range for overtwo weeks, wheat pric-

' es have had a sinking spell. The out

look for the‘new crop has improved

to some extent, and foreign demand

has not been as vigorous as it was in

April and May. Pressure from the

new crop movement is not far ahead.

At the same time, it is recognized that

the world crop is unlikely to be a

large one, and there is more, or less

.apprehension over various hazards

through‘which both the domestic and

Canadian spring wheat crop must go,‘

so that the decline does not seem

likely to extend far. The fact that

the high rate of disappearance in im-

porting countries is being maintained,

however, means that the carryover of

wheat available for import when the

new wheat year starts will be only a

moderate one.

demand for the new crop during the

heavy after-harvest movement.





RYE.





. Rye prices have fluctuated with

wheat. Stocks at terminals are small

and the prospective increase in the

crop will be largely offset by the re-

duced carryover.





CORN.



While weather conditions have been

a little more favorable for corn re—

cently, the crop generally is several

weeks late, so that it is practically





V





This indicates a good.





certain that the yield will be a small

one. Prices have made no net pro-

gress upward since early in June, but

still higher prices ultimately seem in-

evitable. Eastern demand ,is very

slow, but the Pacific coast has been

a fair buyer recently. The June run

of corn probably has passed the peak

and the visible supply is likely to

start decreasing again, in spite of the

narrow demand.‘ From this time on,

the movement from the country is

likely to be quite small unless crop

prospects improve materially.





OATS.



Weather conditions have been fav-

orable for oats, and growth has been

rapid over a large area. Prices have

fluctuated rather aimlessly, as slow de-

mand has counterbalanced the moder-

ate primary receipts. In the long run,

the oats market will be influenced by

the strong situation in corn.





FEEDS.





The feed market is still strong for

this season of the year, although pric-

es have declined from the high level

of recent weeks. Buyers of wheat

feeds are holding off in anticipation

of the larger production which is ex-

pected when new wheat is available.

Prices of heavier feeds are stronger

than bran or middlings.





HAY.



Good pastures throughout the coun-

try generally, and favorable prospects

for the new crop have been weaken—

ing factors

ly. Only top grades of hay are moved

with ease, and undergrades find a slow

sale at reduced prices. The first cut-





in the hay market recent-





ting of alfalfa. hay is in progress in

more northern states and-"prices: have

declined under the. increased supplies.





The strength which appeared inthe

egg markets a week ago has contin-

ued. Receipts at the four large dis-

tributing markets are smaller than at

any time since early in March. More

complaints of seasonal defects in qual:

ity are heard from dealers who, in

some cases, are paying a premium for

selected eggs. There are still some

eggs left over for storing after con-

sumptive requirements have been fill:





ed, so that the surplus over a year ago’





is being steadily increased. The ad-

vancing feed costs in the face of rel-

atively cheap eggs, have led many





farmers to stop feeding their flocks, '





and summer production may suffer.

Prices are not likely to advance to

any great extent, however, until the

prospects forTlistributing the large re-

serves in storage are better known. '

, WOOL.





Mill buying of wool‘ has become



more active in seaboard markets and

Boston prices have advanced about

five per cent. Goods demand is fair,

and there-is a possibility that manu—

facturers are buying some wool ahead

of requirements, anticipating a further

gain in prices. Attention is turning

more and more todomestic wools be-

cause of larger supplies in dealers’

hands, due to the'arrival of the new .-

clip. Stocks of foreign wools are

small, With holdings of combing and

clothing in bond at Boston down to

36,000,000 pounds,_ against 79,000,000

pounds last year. In the bright wool

states, up to 40 cents have been paid

by dealers for choice Ohio delaine

clips, but 37 to 38 cents cover the bulk .

of sales, with medium wools at 35 to -

36. cents. .In.the northwest, the new

clip is being rapidly cleaned up at

about the same level of values as re-

cently. '

4 growth I did adage 2; says,

“Cutoff his jnose to‘ spite, bisf‘face.” .

One can~.judge the amount-‘ofscratch

feed nebessary to feed, by noticing the

Self-feeders, {for that is the best way





to feed mash), and if the pallets aren’t .





eating enough mash, .cut down on the

scratch. If they are developing too

rapidly, "and. are developing sexually

before they get their physical growth,

(which _'m,ay' happen in case of the

Leghorn especially), cut down the

mash by increasing the grain, or if

necessary, take the mash away alto-

_ gether. 0n the other hand, if the pul-

lets, (especially .in the heavier

breeds), aren’t developing fast enough,

feed them lees scratch and make them

eat more maSh, (which contains a.

higherpercentage of protein, is easier

digested, and so hastens, especially,

the sexual . development).



What one’s pullets will do next fall

and winter depends quite largely on

their summer feeding and manage-

ment, whether or not you will receive

September, October and November

eggs, whether you will receive high

prices for your eggs depends on your

feeding and management of those pul-

lets now. What will your pullets be?





 





HOG -MARKET STILL DRAGS.





 





HE hog market is still dragging



' bottom, with the long overdue

rall‘y still held in abeyance. Pack-



‘ers maintain a bearish stand and re-

fuse to buy freely on small bulges.

Receipts have declined compared with

~- the first ten days in June, but remain

materially larger than last year.

Stocks of product in storage are bur-

densome: - Packers are uncertain as

to. the» possibility of ‘ merchandising

these holdings during the summer and

early fall, especially since the runs of

hogs have been heavier than expected,

raising some question as to whether





the numbers in the country have not_





been underestimated.



The United States Department of

Agriculture suggests that the unfaxor—

able corn-hog ratio probably will cause

‘continued, liquidation of light hogs

through June and that a heavy move-

ment of half-fat grassy sows in July

will’ follow. The,recent heavy mar-

ketings,‘however, point to the possi-

bility that supplies of hogs for the

three months, July to September, may

be considerably-below last year. The

department looks for a 'large propor-

tion of low quality hogs later on,

which would naturally favor a sea-

sonal-advance in good butcher hogs.





 





SHARP DOWN—





LAMB” PRICES IN

TUR





c





AMB prices have dropped sharply

‘ J since the mid-June peak, with top

. Idahoes at.$15, against the recent

high point of $18.75. Receipts have

increased each week since early in

June, and prices of dressed lamb have

sagged. While the supply may be

somewhat uneven in the next few

weeks, considerably larger receipts





are probable in the next two or three '





months {and still lower prices are to

be expected. That demand is quite

good is indicated by the fact that

prices remained on a comparatively

high level during May when the num-

ber of lambs slaughtered at public

:stockyards was ten per cent greater

than last year, and sixteen per cent

greater-than the five—year average.





HEAVY STEERS REACH $14.10.

, . .. ; - _—‘ J.

. . TRENGTH prevailed in markets for





‘. grainsfed steers during the. past‘





week, prices going to new, high

points for the season. Prime mature

steers reached $14.10 at Chicago, the

highest since late in 1925. Prices of

grass cattle declined, however, the

breaks in cows, heifers and bulls be-

ing particularly severe. .



Total receipts of cattle have been

moderate in the last three weeks, but

the character of the supply is chang-

ing. Grain-fed steers still make up a

substantial percentage of the arrivals

at Chicago, but they are scarce else~

~where. ’ Receipts of undergrades are

increasing everywhere, and the propor-

tion of cows, heifers and bulls is gain-





lug.



“She stock and bulls are selling a dol-

lar under recent peak prices, and the

decline probably will carry down

farther in the course-of the readjust-



basis. This revisIOn

during the summer and early

fall and may cause prices ofifgrassers

to drag lower than they wouldhave

done under normal conditions. Veal





«calf prices havehad a sharp setback





in, the past week, but are due .to go

still higher as summer works along.



Since January 1, shipments of feed-

er cattle from twelve‘leading markets

into the seven principal feed ng states

totalled 630,000 head, against 651,000

in the same period last year, and 680,-

000 head tw‘o'years ago. Apparently,

the number of cattle on feed is not

excessive. Since the shipments to the

country have included comparatively

few "weighty feedels, it is probable

that mature fat steers will continue

scarce. The gap between prices on

fat yearlings may narrow.

Michigan Farmers’ Automobile Losses





Exceed $5,000,000Per Year





OSSES by public liability, all kinds of

damage claims, law-suits, fire and theft

losses and collision losses take from

Michigan farmers upwards of $5,000,000 per

year. Less than half of these automobile

losses are covered by insurance.





ble farmer can afford to

take this great hazard

without carrying auto-

mobile insurance.



Why not insure in a

Michigan company

which was organized in

1915 and now finishing

twelve years of success?

During the past twelve

years, eight companies

have failed or retired from

writing automobile in-

surance. Why not in-

sure in a reliable com-

pany that is specializing

in taking care of Michi-

gan business and has

agents, adjusters and

attorneys in every county

to give you service? In

Wayne Co., Mich., May 27,~ 1927.

To Whom it May Concern:





This is to certify that we have ‘had our cars‘





and trucks insured in the Citizens’ Mutual Auto-

mobile Insurance Company of Howell, Michigan,

for many years. One year some years ago, we

took our insurance out with a big Eastern com-

pany, but we found when it came time to get ad-

justments and settlements, that there was no one

close by that had full and definite authority to

make settlements. I have always found that the

Citizens’ Mutual had a good representative near





by to give us prompt and satisfactory adjustments .





and, whenever necessary, we have been able to

call up the officers of the company over the ’phone

and if necessary, we could go to the home office

within two hours, and I therefore feel that we are

in better shape to get satisfactory results.



We have watched the growth of the company,

and the business and assets have increased each

year, so we feel satisfied in leaving our business

with that company. The company is represented

in nearly every part of the state, and has a good

representative to assist on adjustments, and any





car or truck owner is therefore able to get ser— '





vice. We have also found that many of the peo—

ple with whom we have collisions are insured with

the company and, therefore, one company is able





to iron out these little differences, which makes

’it more satisfactory than dealing with a. company





that is not so situated.

Yours very truly,

(Sig) IRA WILSON & SONS, .

By Ira. Wilson.

The company has = but one

premium payment per year.





It, takes years to build up

a company ‘so ..that it has an

organization and assets to

take care of these complicated

claims. During the past six

years the assets have in-

creased as follows;

Dec. .31, 1926 840,845.24

June 20, 1927 957,839.11





The company has paid since organization over 65, 000 claims, totalling over 4/ ' '





million dollars.





About two million dollars have been paid in losses to farmers of

Michigan. This company is carrying more farm business than any other corn-y

pany in Michigan. . , .





Mr. Farmer, you can insure in this reliable company that has full legal reserves.





You will find an agent in your community or you may write to
