During the past few mohths countless Ford owners
have discovered these two things (1) Today’s Gargoyle
Mobiloil ‘E” brings new smoothness, new comfort to
Ford starting and stopping; (2.) the new Mobiloil ”E”
leaves amazingly little carbon. And no other lubricat-
ing oil seems to combine these two advantages in such .
a marked way. ' I

It was only after a way had been found to combine - ' . mtg-«v.
these two qualities 1n one oil that the new Mobiloil ‘ ‘E" _ ' i ‘
was offered to Ford owners. 5:22 ‘*

Thus the new Mobiloil “E” offers two
definite econOmies in Ford operation

It costs money. to remove carbon. It costs money to

replace transmission bands. With today's Mobiloil ‘”E
/ you greatly postpone bot/a ‘of these expenses. Thus
Mobiloil ‘E” is the cheapest Ford lubricant to use.
Its slightly higher price is returned to you many times
over by these definite savings.

There are other savings, too. The new Mobiloil “E”
has just the right character and body to protect the . . I '
Ford engine, clutch and transmission. Wear is substan-
tially reduced. Repair bills are held to the minimum.
Overheating is a rarity.

  

Two very handy

Proof in one crankcase full

Four quarts of the improved Mobiloil “E,” when
poured into your crankcase, will show~ you new

As the mileage rolls up, the cash savings from the
improved Mobiloil ””E will roll up, too. Fewer band
replacements, fewer carbon removals, and fewer repairs
to pay for. Have your Ford crankcase drained and re-
filled with one gallon of fresh Mobiloil "E, ” which
can be obtained 1n original Sealed one-gallon cans, or
by the quart from reliable Mobiloil dealers. Also
supplied 1n larger cans and drums for home supply.

The Corn Borer 1n Michigan

HE clean-up campaign waged
against the European corn borer
the past spring'has been a suc-
cess. This opinion, however, is not
universal, and there has been consid-
erable discussion and press‘comment
recently relative to the corn borer sit-
”uation; Some corn growers seem .to
_ be dissatisfied with the clean-up cam-
paign and feel that the work accom-
plished less than what was expected.
1 This state of mind comes about largely
through misapprehension and the mis-
taken use of the word, “eradication.”

It appears "that many growers, and
others, have expected that the corn
borer would, be eradicated from our
state; in other words, after the clean-
up campaign this spring, there would
be no more com, borers in the state.
Such a view is too good to be true.
There probably never will come a time
when the corn borer will be absent
from North America. There is no more
reason to. expect that the corn borer
will disappear than there is to believe
that the potato beetle, the Hessian fly,
and the codling moth will soon van-
ish. The European corn borer is here
to stay.

From the beginning, the real purpose
of the‘clean-up campaign has been to
make it' possible to raise corn at a
profit in spite of the corn borer. To
my mind, this, means, and always has

' meant, to raise corn without too great
a loss, so as to make corn growing
- worth while.

Early this spring, certain parts of
the state were so badly infested with
the pest that the prospect for a crop
in 1927 was practically nil, unless
something was done. This view nat-
urally forced itself up0n us from the
experience of Canada where similar
conditions existed a few years ago, and
which were followed by total crop
losses in succeeding seasons. Our only
hope Was in the adoption of measures
practiced for more than half a century
in Europe,- the native heath of the
pest. Our aim was to reduce the total
population of moths so that there

i

By R. H. Pcttit

would not be sufficient numbers to
bring about any such a debacle as hap-
pened in Canada.

Among all the measures which have
been tried out, the cleaning up of bor-
ers in Stalks, stubble, and ears has
given the best, and, in fact, the only
practical control. We were after a re-
duction in the total number of borers
in the state to a sufficiently low point,

 

Lt

hitherto uninfested districts. Worms
in stalks and" cobs will be washed
along by water in streams and lakes,
and establish themselves on land here
and there in spite of all that may be
done. . ‘

It is hoped that this natural spread
may be kept down to such a point that
the newly infested areas each year
will be kept at a minimum. One has

where Some Very Interesting Expenimental Work is Being Done.

so that not more than a five or ten
per cent loss to the crop would occur,
except, perhaps, in some instances
where conditions were very unfavor-
able.

This is just what has been accom-
plished» as far as we can determin_e
from a few trips made to the fields,
and from the reports of others. We
Will know more definitely a. little lat-
er. Possibly there will be some loss
to the crop, but it will not be a. great
one.

There is no power on earth which
can prevent the spread of the pest to
new areas. The moths will fly into

only to .get figures from those in
charge of the quarantine to prove that
many borers have been intercepted on
their way to fresh fields, where, With-
out quarantines, the borers would have
made long jumps and speeded up their
spread enormously.

The spread of the corn borer into
the corn belt is bound to work injury
not only to farmers, but to everybody.
Cheap corn can still be bought from
other states; but when the corn borer
invades all of the great corn-produc-
ing states, there will be no cheap corn.

When the corn borer infests the cot-
to-n~growing regions, we may expect

He 2.; Here 20 Stay and W e Mm! Lear” 2‘0 sze wzm Hzm

the price of home-grown cotton to seek

permanently a new level which will ‘

cause us to look back to the days of
cheap cotton with appreciation. _

Therefore, if for no other reason, it
is the patriotic duty of every American
to help slow up the spread of this pest,
which, when once established, will al-
ways remain.

It looks to me as if the clean-up has
accomplished just what it was expect-
ed to do. It would appear from a more
or less cursory examination of Michi-
gan cornfields that the corn crop will
be short. The failure of the crop, how-
ever, is due to adverse weather condi-
tions, and not to the European corn
borer. Rain came early in the spring
so that plowing and other operations
were delayed. Since that time, dry
weather has worked havoc with the
corn crop.

In viewing the corn situation, let
us look to the experiences of other
lands. Massachusetts has succeeded
after three years of effort, in so reduc-
ing the corn borer infestation, that the
state is raising a good crop of corn
this year. Hungary has for more than
half a century, succeeded in holding
back the corn borer by the very meth-
.ods which were employed in Michigan
this spring.

I refuse to admit that a Michigander
is unable to accomplish whatever is
thrust upon him. Michigan farmers
can do as well as farmers have in the
Bay State, and furthermore, I believe
that they are able to do as well as the
natives of Hungary.

Perhaps we are licked, but I refuse
to feel licked. I believe that Michigan
has accomplished just what she started
out to do. I believe that under more
favorable weather conditions, and in
the light of more knowledge and expe
rience, she can do a Whole lot better
job of corn borer control. 1

To put it briefly, and in spite of
some published opinions of others, I
believe that the clean-up was a suc-
cess in Michigan, and an achievement
of which we may well be proud. '

' United States Crop Conditions

URING August crop prospects
declined in the corn belt west
to Iowa and. Minnesota, but
farther west the generally good crop
prospects show farther substantial im-
provement. For the country as a
whole, the composite of crop conditiiiin
. and yields is new 1. 9 per cent below
the September 1 average during the.
last ten years.
With generally good growing condi~

' tions in the west, abundant to exces-

  

sive rain in much of the south, and

with drought. and some scattered frosts

1n the lake states, prospects have im-
proved for corn, spring wheat, barley,
flagseed, sweet potatoes, tobacco, grain
sorghums, pefiimts and. broomcorn. De-‘
creases are indicated for cotton, oats,

 

creased 73,000,000 bushels during Aug-
ust in the central states west of the
Mississippi; 36,000,000 bushels in the
south central states; butin the corn
belt, east of the Mississippi, 3. decrease
of 46,000,000 bushels were shown be-
tween August 1 and September 1.
Slight increases were indicated in oth-
er sections 'of the country. .

Compared with the 1926 crop, the
1927 corn crOp shows a decrease of
278,000,000 bushels, or thirty-seven per
cent in, the central states east of the
Mississippi river. An increase of about
thirteen per cent, or 133,000,000 bush-
els, is indicated. in the west, central
states. The southern states Will pro.
duc’e almost as much corn as the very
large crop grown there last year.

In the important central and north-

am states, corn conditions remain low.
’,The_._ necessity for longycontinu‘ed and

favorable fall weather to enable any-

thing like the usual peIcentage of the
crop to mature in the corn belt as a
whole is becoming more apparent.

The lateness and poor condition of
much of the crop suggests that more
than the customary percentage of the
acreage in the corn-for—grain states
will be cut for silage, and that a much
greater share than usual will need to
be hogged off. A shortage of silage
corn may occur in some northern dairy
sections.

Killing frosts have already been re-
ported in the northwestern counties
of Minnesota, but the extent of frost
damage is as yet unimportant. In Iowa
corn-made fair progress, due to more
favorable weather late in the month,
and temperatures since September 1
hays been unusually favorable. 'A spe-
cial survey in Iowa indicates that, with
favorable weather; twenty-eight per

, cent of the crop will'be safe by Sep-

tember 20, and not more than sixty-
,eight per cent will be safe by Oc-
tober 15.

, Wheat.

The 1927 wheat crop of the United
States indicated on September 1, is
861,000,000 bushels, which is 10,000,000
bushels greater than indicated on
August 1, and is seven per cent above
the average of the past five years.

Spring wheat is now forecast at
308,000,000 bushels, no new estimate
for winter wheat being made this
month.

The increase in spring wheat was
general in the main spring wheat area.
from Minnesota west. For the most.
part, the increase is attributable to the
fact that, While some damage occurred

from rust, the damage was less than!

feared a month ago. In the mountain

DETROIT, SEPT. 24, 1927

A CURRENT COMMENT
EVERAL years ago

the Michigan Leg-

Keep islature enacted a law
Memory designating Septem-
Day ber 30 as Memory

Day. The purpose of
this day, as set forth in this act is to
extend the sentiment expressed to
ward our soldier dead on Decoration
Day to all loved ones. It furnishes
opportunity for the whole community
to turn out and clean up the local cem-
eteries before Winter sets in, and for
the decoration of the graves.
But for the fine devotion and un-
ceasing efforts of a Clinton county
farmer, J. T. Daniells, our state likely
would not have been the first to take
the lead in offering annual tribute to
that ever—increasing number whom we
can cherish only in memory.
While many communities in the state
have already formed the habit of ex-
pressing the spirit of Memory Day on
each succeeding September, the pro-
gram should be universally recognized.
To pay tribute to those who have
worked and suffered that we may live
larger and more useful lives, is the
exercise of that fine spiritual quality
of love that makes for human brother-
hood and greater happiness.
The idea of Memory Day grew out
of the sincere devotion of Mr. Dan-
iells to a beloved Wife. It was in
beautifying her final resting place that
he became interested in the general
movement.
Have you some loved one lying in
a more or less neglected cemetery? If
so, send to J. T. Danielle, R. F. D. 39,
St. Johns, Michigan, for literature on
improving cemetaries which will be
sent gratis. Then lay out a simple pro-
gram and get your neighbors inter-
ested. If the attention of but a few
can be secured, the interest will grad-
‘ually grow from year to year until a.
worth-While Memorial Day program
. _: will become an annual event. _ The
7;.fjiirhole community will not only feel

The, Fight
Must an article on the corn
’ b o r e r situation by
GO On! , Professor Pettit, ento-

mologist of the Mich-
igan State College. In this article
Professor Pettit declares as absurd, the

thought of ever exterminating the Eu-

rope-an corn borer from American soil.
But he holds out the hope that with
proper control work we can continue
to grow corn as a major crop in this
country.

Naturally, the clean-up ' campaign,
undertaken last spring, has come in
for a great deal of criticism. Never-
theless, it seems that the only course
whereby American farmers can expect
to continue the production of corn,
will be along the lines of this cam~
paign.

’ - At the State Fair, an Austrian ap-

proached the corn borer exhibit put
on by the Michigan State College, and
remarked that, to him, the exhibit was
very familiar. W'hen askedwhat he
meant, he said that for years his peo-
ple in Austria had been contending
with the corn borer. In reply to the
question as to how the borer was
dealt with, he answered, “in the same
manner that you are recommending
here.” This foreigner stated that they
could continue growing corn as long
as their clean-up methods were care-
fully‘ followed. But any carelessness
was certain to be followed by an in-
crease in the borer infestation.

' So, in spite of faults with methods
and personnel in"‘our first general at-
tempt to clean-up as'a' means of fight-
ing the corn borer, it would appear,
from our present information, that our
only hope in this struggle is along the
line we have started. The sooner
farmers can forget any unfriendly re-
lations with inspectors, or criticism
of plans, and insist upon a thorough
cleanup program, the quicker will the
corn borer be listed as a defeated en-
emy, like the potato bug and San Jose
scale.

HE statisticians
The tell us that nearly
Diminish 650,000 persons left

. the farm last year for
mg Farmer the city, and that the

next census will like-
ly show a rural population of 25,000,-
000 instead of 32,000,000 as in 1910.
These figures offer alarmists food for
agitation. They see agriculture, the
bedrock of all industry, dwindling into
a weak minority with the inevitable
result that we will, in the future, face
starvation.

However, straight-thinking people do
not feel that way about the matter. It
is true that we need to maintain the
food supplies of the country, but if it
can be maintained with half the peo-
ple needed to maintain it in the past,
all well and good.

There are untold economies in food
production which yet' have to be made
popular; many methods of increasing
yields probably yet remain undiscov-
ered,.and there are many sources of
food and clothing supply which are
yet untouched. Plants now considered
weed pests will be put to useful pur-
poses. Our food habits will change,
as they have in the past, to make use
of things unrecognized as food now.

In the past it took more than half
the population to maintain its food
supply, but the methods were crude
the supplementary wants were few,
and little labor was needed to supply,
them. But now, our complex, but less
laborious life has. a. thousand needs
which are not primal, but require hu-
man labor to supply them. Each new
comfort, each new laboresaving device
creates a new demand for, labor. The
farm must necessarily supply some of
it, and with the mechanical helps. con-

tinually being developed, it can afford.

Tr Co-o ‘ being expended these
.y _ p days tohelp the farm-
Marketing er solve some of his

marketing, problems.
But two groups of Ohio farm women,
convinced that their husbands were not
alone in having marketing prob-
lems, this summer initiated cooperative
marketing of their farm produce at
roadside stands.

Guided by local committees, elected
from their own number, and with the
help of their home demonstration
agent, they established two of these
stands on a. cooperative basis. Heed-
ing some of the pitfalls that they had
observed in theirhusband’s coopera-
tive efforts, they emphasized the
standardization of quality in all prod-
ucts sold, and used one color scheme
on all advertising material and wrap-

pers. ‘Home—baked goods, 'fruit, vege-t~

tables, foods ca"nned on the farm,
cheese, and poultry and eggs, were
sold. By paying a nominal member-

ship fee and a small commission to the
cooperative organization, any woman
in the county could sell her produce
through these two roadside stands.

This is another opportunity where
farm women have dared and won, and
another proof that the attitude of both
men and women on money matters
have changed. Time was,.and not so
long ago at that, when the average
woman never thought of handling her
own money. Today she is finding many
ways of earning it right in her own
home. In view of Michigan’s growing
tourist trade, it would seem that Mich-
igan. farm women might adopt this
plan of their Ohio sisters with profit.

I WAS just lackin’ through the dic-
' tionary again, ’cause I~.find it’s lots
of fun. Each word {almost seems like
a, Story by itself, and they‘re the short-
est stories you kin read. -‘

Well, I came on to the word, date,-

and it says,it means to exhibit the
weakneSs of age; to bestow excessive
love. ,

Now, that’s funny—it don't say the
weakness of any certain age, but I-
suppOSe it means old age, ’cause old
age is the only one what is supposed

- to have weakness.
The weaknesses
'of other ages
ain’t weaknesses;
they’re failings.
What gets me
is their meaning
of “dots” is weak-
ness of age, and
to bestow exces~
sive’ love. Seems
like when a. fellow gets old he’s got:
his love pretty near under control,
but according t0" “dote” it ain’t so.
And I guess the word is right. They
say when a man is past forty he is
likely to make forty kinds of a. fool
of himself, and when he does get to
liking anybody he kinda overdoes it.

I don’t know what I dote on, unless
it’s rest and high school girls. Ain’t
it funny how, after a fellow passes
middle age, nice looking girls look nice
to him, even nicer than when he- is
young? To the human race there
shouldn’t be nothing more beautiful?
than the wholesome beauty of young
womanhood. That is the blossom time
of life, and nature wants blossoms
beautiful and attractive.

I dote on beautiful scenery, too, and
like to go in my old bus hunting fer
it. You come onto nice scenery lots
0’ times when you don't expect it, and
there’s something about nice scenery

 

that makes you feel good—you fergeti

all about taxes, crops, bills and ene‘
mies while you’re looking at it.

I dots on good music, too. Good.
music is good scenery in sound. It
even beats language for beauty. It

‘ makes you forget things, just like good

scenery does. Only with scenery you
feel like you was in it—kinda in para-
dise—but with good music, you feel it
in you. Sometimes it makes you feel
sad—but you feel kinda glad to fee
sad like that. ‘
Maybe, in the weakness of age, B
might be bestowin’ excessive love am
this subject, so I’ll quit.

i T is not unusual to hear at this

" time é! the year, the"'cnzhri‘la.int'of

the' farmer that"his"corn“crrop is
far below formerryears. file :calls atj
tention to the past dry‘summer—the

' August frost, etc. _You never hear of
a farmer tell of the weeds in his corn-

‘field. .
,- _ Everyyéar, as you pass, throughthe

. state and look over the, million, and a
half acres of corn growing, you will
. iialways find good fields and poor fields. ’
It always happens that the good fields

are found on the same farms year af-
ter year. Some people call this luck,
'but if. the facts of good cornfields
were brought “to light, it could be
. shown that luck was a minor portion,
and that brains was the dominating

~ factor.- - ,
Now is the time of the year to' pre-

pare for the 1928 corn crop. If this
matter is neglected by the poor corn
growers, they will be still in that
class next year. Every kernel of corn
has life—-every kernel by nature grew
for the‘é'ole purpose of reproducing
itself. If left in the field to freeze
before nature intended, it cannot ac-

complish its mission. There are more .

poor cornfields in the state today
caused from using poor seed, than all
other factors combined—including dry
weather, weeds, and early frosts.

, The matter of collecting seed corn
seems to be a hard job for the average
farmer. The main reason for this is

I‘ because he has no appropriate place

for storing same, except with the rest

' of the corn—in the corn crib. In the
barn the sparrows like to chew onit,
and there are mice in a granary, and
if taken in the house”, the lady of the
farm kindly informs that the corn crib
is. the place made for such articles.-

Even though the poor corn grower
has the incentive to eollect same, and
has an appropriate place for storage,

" he is confronted with the problem of

..distrib_uti_ng same for proper curing.

', No two ears cf. corn should touch each
lather until they are thoroughly dry.

,‘ The cheapest and most satisfactory

method of doing this is to place the

corn on an upright rack made by nail-

,ing on two 2x4’s eight feet long, with
four-foot lath directly opposite on each

_' of the narrow sides of the 2x4’s. The

‘lath are placed far enough apart to
' receive the ears of corn and hold them
until dry. A rack of this sort will
hold five bushel crates of corn, and
can be made by any farmer. The cost
of the material will be about one dol-
lar. The rack can be placed in any
convenient place until the corn is ab-

, solutely dry. The rack can then be
‘Lstored and the' corn shelled, ready for

planting. When you figure that five
bushel crates of corn will plant fifteen
acres, and the same can be saved with

very littletrouble and investment, you
,: often wonder ‘why some farmers will

.spend their good time preparing the
corn ground and planting poor seed.
- Whether you plant good seed or poor

”With the exceptiOn of tame hay, the

as far as acreage is concerned. The

AUTO COLLISION WITH STOCK lN
HIGHWAY LIABILITY.

 

‘UESTIONS with reference to the
j liability for damages resulting
from~ collision with live stock running
in the highway, frequently are asked
nowadays because such collisions are
commonaccurrences.

First, as to the liability of the owner
of the stock for injury to the car and
passengers. Careful driving requires
that the driver at all times keeps his
car under such’control that he can
stop within the distance that he can
see ahead; and therefore, under most
circumstances, if injury results, his
negligence has contributed .to the in-
jury and this contributory negligence
would be a defense to any suit
by him to the resulting damages.
There might be circumstances under
which he might -be injured without
contributory negligence on his part by
reason of the stock suddenly running
upon the highway in front of him. In
which case, if the stock was on the
highway through the negligence of the
owner of the stock, he would be liable
for the damage resulting.

As-to the liability of .the owner of
the stock to the passengers in the car,
there are different rules in different
states. In Michigan it is settled that
the negligence of the driver of a pri-
vate conveyance in which a person of
mature years is riding as a voluntary
rider is imputab‘le to the passenger, as
between him and the driver. But in
the case of a passenger riding for
hire, it is settled that the negligence
of the driver cannot be imputed to
the passenger, who had, and exercised,
no cohtrol over the car. In this case
the owner of the stock negligently in
the highway is liable to the passengers
in the car, although the negligence of
the driver contributed to the injury.
Rogers vs. Weber, 235 Michigan 180.

Now, as to the liability of the driver
for injuries to the stock. It is com-
mon knowledge that highways upon
which automobiles are liable to pass
is a dangerous place for live stock to
be without guard; and to any action
for injury to the stock in the highway,
the plea of contributory negligence
would be a complete defense.

It is not the negligence to drive live
stock— upon the highway, accompanied
by sufficient guards to keep it under
control. ' The use of the highway for
this purpose is a legitimate use of the
highway. If injury results to the stock
from such use‘through the negligence
of other persons using the highway,
they are liable for the resulting dain-
age.—R00d., ~~

MORE 'RECLAMATION.

 

 

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has been
asked by a group of northwestern
land boomers, headed by Senator
Jones, of Washington state, to lend
his support fer the development of the
’ Columbia Basin irrigation project,
which is described as the largest and
costliest enterprise of its kind in the
world. .

The President was told that there;

are 1,883,000 acres in the basin, which
can be irrigated. A financial plan has
been worked out whereby a loan from
the United States government of $120,-
000,000 would build the main canal 134
miles long, to be repaid in fifty years.
When this canal is completed another
loan from the government treasury will
be needed to construct lateral canals.
Dr. Elwood Mead, commissioner of
reclamation, will ask additional ap-
propriations by Congress to cover the
preliminary surveys for the Columbia
River Basin reclamation project.

RURAL BANKING DEVELOPMENTS.

 

HE interest rates borne by the
bonds of the Federal Land Banks,
marketed in 1926, were four and a
quarter and four and a half per cent,
which makes the maximum’ interest
' rates chargeable to borrowers, five and
a quarter per cent and five and a half
per cent. It has been demonstrated
that when a bank has loans exceeding
$100,000,000, and is in good condition
in respect to delinquencies and prob-
able foreclosures, it can operate on a
spread of less than one per cent. Some
of the banks have already reduced
their rates. Louisville, New Orleans,
\Vichita and Houston reduced the rate
from five and a half to five per cent.
The Intermediate Credit Banks, op-
erating in connection with the twelve
Federal Land Banks, haVe rediscount~
ed agricultural paper amounting to
$169,726,235.24, since the date of their
organization. These banks afford ex-
cellent agencies for rediscounting live
stock paper, since loans of this char-
acter are easily adjusted to the needs
of stockmen, says the report. The ele-
ment of time is most important to
these producers. \Vith their provision
for making loans which may extend
for three years, in the case of breed-
ing herds, they afford the stockmen
or the dairymen opportunity to mature

his stock or to cafry it until he can‘

get satisfactory returns.

WANT FEDERAL INHERITANCE
TAX REPEALED.

 

HE business interests are demand-

ing the repeal of the federal in-
heritance tax. Unlike the farm organ-
izations, they already have reached an
agreement on a single concrete pro‘
gram of action. They know exactly
what they want, and are going after it
with a single unified ,voice.

SPECIAL SESSION IN QUESTION.

 

HE extra session proposition is
giving President Coolidge and the
administration as a whole, much Con-
cern. There is a wide difference of
opinion among the President’s advis-
ers in regard to the matter. A pow-
erful move is being made by an influ-
ential group to induce the President
to call an early session of Congress
for the purpose of disposing of the
Vare-Smith contests, and consideration
of flood control legislation. Congres-
_‘sio;nal leaders oppose the extra ses-
_ ‘si‘on. One hundred and fifty amiy en-
;gineers are at work on the flood prob-

" lfem, and they hope to reach some con-
;jelusion byDecember 1, when Congress

which has been suggested as a possi-
ble means of flood,\control.

 

INVESTIGATE CORN PRODUCTION
COSTS.

 

IN compliance with thetrequest of
American corn growers for an in—
crease in duty on corn from fifteen to
twenty-two and one-half centsa bush-
el, the United States Tariff Commis-
sion will send four investigators to
Buenos Aires on September 24, to in-
vestigate production costs of corn in
Argentina. Investigators for the tar-
iff commission have completed a sur-
vey of the cost of producing corn in
Ohio and Indiana and are working in
Illinois. Prices of corn in Chicago are
from thirty to thirtyvfive cents higher
than in Buenos Aires. As shipping
costs are around twelve cents, the fif-
teen-cent tariff still leaves the advan-
tage with the Argentina corn.

AIRPLAN ES BATTLE MOSQUITOES.

 

AVY airplanes are being put into

practical use for the benefit of
humanity, in distributing dust over
swamplands to eradicate mosquitoes.
The excellent results obtained by dust-
ing marshy areas during the past year
have given the public health officials
confidence in this method of eradica-
tion. A mixture of Paris green and
powdered soapstone is used. This
mixture will, penetrate the most dense
foliage and kill all mosquito lanvae
lodged in the water beneath.

 

TAXATION METHODS HOLD UP
REFORESTATION.

 

EFORESTATION is making slow
progress because of the problem
of taxation. The owners are not in-
clined to plant forests when they are
required to pay taxes on the increas—
ing valuation of the young forest while
it is growing.
.‘Visconsin has a new law which pro-
vides for the levying of a forest tax
by the state when the timber is cut,

  

and the taxis fixed at ten per cent of
The value of the logs. This law pro-
vides further that, the ‘land entered
under it shall pay a district tax of ten
cents an acre annually, which shall go
to the local taxing district, and in ad-
dition the state will pay to the district
ten cents per acre, to be reimbursed
from the severance tax on the timber
when it is removed. Representatives
of the organized lumber industry say
that this act will stimulate replanting
of forest trees on cut—over lands, and
ultimately will yield the state a sub-
stantial income. ~

SMOKERS START MANY FIRES.

 

MOKERS are blamed for starting

sixteen per cent of all the forest
fires, according to the Forest Service.
Of the 91,793 fires in forests in 1926,
seventy-two 'per cent were due to man-
made causes.'These forest fires caused
a direct loss amounting to $26,900,000
in the United States. Last year 24,-
300,000 acres were burned over, an
area equal in size to the farm land
area of the state of Ohio. The great-
est area burned over, and the greatest
damage done was in the southeastern
states.

SUGAR CROP IS REDUCED.

 

SMALLER sugar production this

year is indicated by reports to
the department of agriculture. Revised
estimates of sugar production in for-
eign countries bring the estimated
world sugar' crop for the 1926-27 sea-
son to 26,200,000 short tons of raw
sugar, as compared with 27,724,000
produced in 1925-26. The beet sugar
crop, amounting to 8,434,000 short tons,
is 6.7_per cent below that of 1925-26.

NEBRASKA tHOME MARKET.

 

EARLY seventy per cent of the

food consumed by Nebraska farm
families is produced on Nebraska
farms, according to a survey ju'St com-
pleted by the bureau of agricultural
economics in cooperation with the
University of Nebraska.

The value of the food consumed was
about $735 per family on Nebraska
farms. Of this, $230 was spent at
the stores, but the remaining $505, or

or a. few things for sale, and buys

Oats.

The indicated production of oats is
1,191,000,000 bushels, a‘ decrease of 87,-
000,000. bushels since August 1. The
decrease was general in the north
central states, except in Nebras-
ka and Kansas. The indicated crop
is seventeen per cent below the five-
year average production.

Reports on probable yield indicate
fair to excellent returns in the north-
ern tier of states from Michigan west-
ward, except in Minnesota and North
Dakota, where rust damaged the"crop.
In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois yields in-
dicated by early threshing returns are
disappointingly low and the grain light
in weight. In Iowa early crops yielded
exceptionallywell, while late crops are
running light, and many fields in the
southern part of the state were not
harvested. Oats in"South Dakota suf-
fered from rust; in Nebraska, in spite
of drying winds, a good yield is in-
dicated. '

Potatoes.

The white potato crop is now esti-
mated at 400,000,000 bushels. This is
substantially above the short crops of
the last two seasons, but it is 11,000,-
000 bushels below the forecast of a
month ago, and in proportion to popu-
lation it would be no more than the
average production during the past
five years. 1

The principal changes since last

, month in prospects’for potatoes, have

occurred in Maine, where prospects
have declined by 5,500,000 bushels, and
in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minne-
sota, where prospects have declined
by 13,000,000 bushels.

In Maine, wet, sultry weather result-
ed in serious damage from blight. The
Green Mountain variety, representing
seventy-five per cent of the acreage

had just finished blossoming when the »

blight set in, and the crop has gone
down rapidly. Irish Cobblers, repre—
senting twenty-five per cent of the
acreage are, however, showing good
yields.

In Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minne-
sota, the potato crop has been hurt by
drought and in some sections by frost.
In Michigan, prospects have declined

"twenty-two per cent, or approximately

7,000,000 bushels.

AUTUMN WORK IN THE FLOWER
GARDEN.

 

the flower garden. Many things
usually left for spring may he. done
at this time when the gardener is not

. harassed by the rush of spring work.

First of all, peonies should be plant-
ed this month. There is no good rea-
son for leaving this work until spring.
It is true that, if properly handled,
the peony can be moved at any time,
but the best results are had by early
fall planting. Do not plant the peony
roots too deeply if you want plenty of
bloom. Two inches of soil over the
crown of the plants is plenty deep
enough.
Many other herbaceous perennials
may be divided and transplanted now,
and, most of the hardy subjects may
be successfully started from seed
planted in a cold frame. Ifyou neg-
lected to sow pansy seed in July or
August, there is still time to make
cold frame plantings. ‘Cover'the seed
with burlap until the plants start to
come up, but do not try to transplant
this fall, Winter the plants in the
cold frame. Plants from September
sowing will not bloom as quickly in
the spring as those from July plant—
ings, but they make excellent subjects
for second early blooming.

USERS of McCormick-Deering Potato Diggers tell us
that it is easier to pick up behind our digger than any

that the McCormick-Deering shakes all the soil free from
the potatoes and deposits them on top of the ground in
compact rows, making it easy to get them. This feature is a
great time and labor saver, and makes friends everywhere.

Another point in favor of the McCormick-Deering is its
ability to lift potatoes out of the soil without bruising
Everything else being equal, potatoes dug with a
McCormick-Deering digger should bring a higher price on
the market than those dug any other way.

The McCormick-Deering is designed to operatez with
This makes it possible to operate the digger
at sufficient depth to make sure of getting all of the
potatoes without overstraining the team or the machine.

UTUMN should be a busy time in,

ing inside will need potting early this
month so they may become establishi
ed before winter. Disturb them as
little as possible in the potting oper-v
ation, water thoroughly, and put them
away in a shady place for a few days.
Equal portions of garden soil, compost
material and sand makes a good pot-
ting soil. ‘Give special care to the
carnations intended for winter bloom—
ing. Trim the plants into symetrical
shape and enrich the soil with bone
meal or one of the pulverized animal
manures. Callas, Oxalis and Amaryllis
which have been resting should be pot-
ted up now.

Preparations should be made at this
time to take care of the Dutch bulbs
when they arrive. Narcissus should
be planted early enough for them to
become established before the ground
freezes. Many excellent new varieties
will be available in .both narcissus
and tulips this fall. Watch your bulb
catalogues closely for these new ones.

Climbing roses should have the old
growth cut out now if it was not done
earlier in the season. Do this early
enough for the young canes to mature
before severe weather" comes. If your
climber is of questionable hardiness,
it might be well to lay it down and
cover with earth or straw. Do not
prune bush roses this fall, but, begin-
ning in September, gradually hill them
up so that when winter arrives there
will be a mound of earth about eight
inches high around each plant. Some
half-hardy roses may be wintered over
in quite severe climates if given this
treatment—Wood.

CATALPA TROUBLE.

 

I have a nice shade tree in front
of my house that is about 16 years
old. On one side of it are three
limbs on which the leaves are wither-
ing and falling off. There is nothing
on the outside that would give a clue
as to the cause of the withered leaves.
I am enclosing a leaf and seed pod.
Can you tell me What the trouble is
and lfiow to avoid it? Please advise.

The catalpa is very subject to leaf
spots which attack the leaves and
often cause them, to become brown,
wither and fall off. Wet seasons are
particularly favorable for leaf spot
diseases owing to the fact that abun-
dant moisture is necessary to dis-
seminate the spores and to induce
germination. In this way several gen-
erations of spores are produced until
the leaves are so generally affected
that defoliation may result.
not necessarily or usually kill the
trees, however, unless defoliation oc-
curs in several successive years. The
leaves usually come out all right the
following year. ’

The only method of control which I
would suggest is raking up the leaves
which fall from the affected trees and
burning them in the fall. If this is
done for some distance around the
tree much of the infection may be
avoided.
affected, the dead twigs should be
pruned off before the buds burst in
the‘spring and burned—A. K. Chitten—
den, Prof. of Forestry.

DOES SUCKERING SWEET CORN
PAY?“

 

ECENTLY I have talked with sev-
eral farmers about the value of
suckering sweet corn. Some believe
that the rembval of the suckers seems
to improve the size and quality of the

time and does not improve the size or‘
quality of the crop. , '

According to.the latest theory on
corn growth it does not pay to remove
the suckers. The leaves are the mim-

In our own experience in suckering
both sweet corn and pop corn, therows
have appeared alittle more neat and
trim, but no increase in the crop has
been apparent, and the job has been
discontinued—K.

 

OUR APPLES .PLEASE BRITISH.

 

BRITISH imports'of apples from the

United States are steadily inereas~
ing in volume. - This is -‘ largely due
to the "Eat More -Fruit”‘ advertising
campaigns conducted throughout the
United Kingdom by'the dealers during
the past few years, according to the
department of commerce. American-
grown apples to the amount of 3,939,-
000 bushels were marketed in the Brit-
ish Isles in 1921; 3,461,000" bushels in
1922; 6,762,000 bushels in 1923; 8,394,-
000 bushels in 1924, and 6,443,000 bush-
els in 1925. United States statistics
show approximately 10,583,000 bushels
of American apples were exported to .
the United Kingdom in 1926, but in
that year there was a poor apple crop
in Europe and a bumper crop in the
United States.

BEAUTIFYING HOME GROUNDS.

 

I am a farmer’s wife with very little
money to spend in beautifying my
home and grounds. Could you tell me
how to start new bridal wreath'from
01d bushes? Do you slip them? If so,
how and when? Also, how should one
take care of dahlia roots? Should
they be divided this fall or next
spring?——H. E. R.

Bridal Wreath Spiraea may be prop-
agated easily by taking hardwood cut-
tings of this Year’s growth some time
in October. These cutting should be
end shoots about eight inches long.
They are cut at the node, tied in bun«
dies of twenty-five, and buried in sand
outdoors, with the bottoms up. A cov-
ering of three or four inches is suffi—
cient. During the winter some calous
ing will take place and in the spring
these calloused cuttings should be set _
out in rows and cultivated for the sea-
son. In the fall they will make large
enough plants to set out. ‘

Another method involves the use of
a hot bed during June, when cuttings
of semi-hard wood are taken about
four inches long and inserted into
sand which has some heat under it in
the form 01’ decaying manure—in Other
words, hot bed. It ilsually takes about
two weeks to root. Then the cuttings
should be potted and kept shaded until
well established. They will be ready
to set out in their permanent location
the same fall.

Dahlias should be dug right after
the first frost, the roots stored'in a
cool, fairly moist cellar, leaving some
of the soil on to prevent drying out
during the winter. Divide in the
spring before setting out. Since it is
essential that each division contain at
least one bud, fall division is not ad-
visable, as it is hard to determine, just
where‘the buds will come. In divid-
ing, a piece of the crown must be left
with the root, since new buds form on
the crown and not on the bulbous
roots.———Alex. Laurie.

News and

From INGLESIDE FAKM—By Stim/ey Pom/I

":2 ICWS

 

‘

HE editor took advantage of our
defenseless condition, and put
our last weekly letter, telling
about the State Fair at ‘Detroit, on the
front page under one of his own head-
lines. That’s the reason why there
wasn’t any “News ,and Views” in thg
last issue. VVe’re naturally modest
and bashful, and feel more at home

, hid away back here in the. middle of

the paper.

Yesterday afternoon we cleaned all
the poultry houses. Now there should
not be anything so unusual about that
as to deserve special mention. How-
ever, we must confess that we never
neglected our poultry quite as much
as we have this summer. A backward
spring and dry summer conspired with
the ever more serious labor shortage,
to make this a season which has found
us about one jump behind most of the
time. Here at Ingleside Farm, “The
spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Our ideals are all right, but a. person
just naturally can’t be in more than
six or seven places at the same time.

We hadn’t proceeded very far with
cleaning the coops before we realized
that the spraying which was to follow
would be more than a mere formality.
Lice and mites were evident at the
ends of the roasts, on the under-side
of the perches, and in various other
cracks and crevices. As soon as we
had finished with the cleaning we mix-
ed up a solution of a reliable stock,
dip according to directions and gave
all of the poultry buildings a thorough
spraying. The cleaning and spraying
took the two of us only about a couple
of hours of leisurely work. It was a.
good job, well done, and certainly re
moved a heavy burden from my con-
science. For some time I have been
almost literally “itching” to tend to
this neglected task.

I couldn’t help but think how typ-
ical it is of life, that I should work
myself up to fever-heat writing an
article in condemnation of farmers who
let their hogs get lousy, while at the
same time I have beemneglecting my
poultry. It is always a lot easier to
see someone else’s short-comings than
to recognize and confess our own lazi—
ness, stupidity 01' mismanagement.

Others’ Faults More Visible.

Thinking along this line, I meditat-
ed on the fact that it is natural and
easy for most of us to go onto the
farm of a. neighbor or a stranger and
almost immediately think to ourselves,
or tell aloud, just what we would do
if we were running that place. We
can see no end of things which should
have immediate attention.

But how different it is on our own
farms! Many of us become so bur-
dened down with habit and inertia,
and blinded by narrowing precedent,
that we keep on stumbling along in
the same old ruts and fail to study
our farm business from a broadly in-
telligent and efficient, business-like
angle. The best thing that could hap-
pen to some of us would be for cir-
cumstances to force us to be away
from 0111 farms for a while. If, dur-
ing our absence we could visit the
homesteads of some of the Master
Farmers, that would help. Then when
we came home, possibly we might see
a lot of things that we could do to
make our own acres and farmsteads
more convenient, pleasant and profit;
able.

But I am straying quite a. ways from
the poultry coops and the spray tank.
After -we had finished our fragrant
task of disinfecting, I thought we
might as. well tackle another job that

etrating odor. One of our silos is
made of vitrified tile and extends
about three feet below. the ground lev-

 

I knew would involve a. rare and pen-1

   

91. For some reason there valways
seems to be a. considerable quantity of

powerful liquid (I almost said liquor)"

in this pi’t cash summer after all the
ensilage has been removed. Possibly
some of this liquid is the original juice
of the corn, but I am inclined to be-
lieve that a. good deal of it seeps in
through the joints between the blocks.

Thinki'ngthat another kind of smell
wouldn’t make um‘uch- difference after
our stock-dip fragrance, I donned rub—
ber boots and took a scoop and big
pail and cleaned out this unsavory
mess. It was four or five inches deep
in the middle and was covered with a.
heavy white scum. Well, I got the
silo cleaned. out all right, but “the

hanging part of my clothes in the
woods, and turns up her nose ev-
ery time I appear on the horizon. But
time cures many ills, and I am living
in hopes that the sweetness of our
domestic atmosphere may eventually
be restored.

Was Your Carri Dented?
In throwing this old stuff out of the
silo, I couldn’t help but notice, the
large proportion of well ripened ker«

\Enels of corn mingled with the refuse.

I wondeféd how many Michigan silos
would have ripe corn in them this
year. Most of our neighbors have al-
ready filled their silos, but I am/flirt-
ing with the weather man, hoping for
a little more maturity before starting
our com-binder.

It is a. fortunate thing for Michigan
farmers that we have so many silos
ready to utilize our immature 1927
corn crop. If it were not (or our silos,
much of this soft corn would be very
largely wasted.

It is encouraging for us to remember
that Michigan stands third'among all
the states in the Union in number of
silos, having“ over 50,000. New York
just noses us out of second place. Wis-
consin is, of course, first, with more
than 112,000 silos. 1%

It certainly was no small disappoint-
ment to return from the State Fair,
where the rain fellplentifully, and
find the dust still flying at Ingleside.
Some of our neighbors say that our
community must be especially wicked
as it rains abundantly all around us,
but hasn’t wet down to the bottom of
our plow furrows for months. How~
ever, I remember that the Scripture
says, “The rain falls on the just and
on the unjust,” so perhaps our local
drought isn’t any particular reflection
upon our morality. »

It is not only dry with us, but the
atmosphere has been oppressively
muggy, which has made the days try-
ing indeed, on man and beast. Work-
ing in a cloud of dust while ringing
Wet makes a combination that means
that each night our horses require
long, tedious cleaning. However, we
are still plowing, and hope to plant
most of the wheat acreage which we
had planned.

A neighbor who was rolling for me‘
this afternoon, quit an hour early to
go home and perform an operation on
his male shoats. He wanted to do it
before it got dark, and said, “Probably
you think Lamfoolish, and perhaps it
doesn’t matter, but my father always
watched the almanac and had good
luck.”

If things go wrong here at Ingleside,
probably it willbe because we fail to
farm by the almanac, and undertake

important tasks when “the sign isn’t
right ” '

OIL FOR WASHING MACHINE,

 

I have a small gasoline engine that
runs my washing machine. The cyl-
inder oil is mixed with gasoline.
Would it be advisable to use a high-
grade automobile cylinder oil in the
gasoline for this engine?——O. W.

It would be my opinion that the
best oil should be used in this outfit.
In a washing machine engine the
amount of oil used would be so small
and the difference in cost so little be-
tween the good and poor oil that, in
the matter of satisfaction alone in -us-
ing good oil, the small additional ex—
pense would be Justified. It would
also seem reasonable that the less
trouble would be experienced in car-
bonization, and this fact alone would
be quite annoying and troublesome in
an engine of this size.

 

SEPTIC TANK VS. CHEMICAL
TOILET.

 

I would like some advice in regard
to a sanitary outside toilet. 1 would
also like advice on a septic tank. What
do you think of a chemical toilet?
,Where can a person buy one? What
is the cost?—~E. M.

For general use a septic tank has

this-should be added the loss in pres-
sure due to friction in the pipe. ’

You will note that the larger the
pipe, not only will it carry more water,
but with less friction: ’ '

In case the spring would supply two
gallons of water per minute, with a
fall of three feet, it would be'possible
to install an hydraulic ram. In case
this amount of watef' would not supply

your needs, it would be possible to put ”

in a storage tank into which the hy-
draulic ram could deliver water con-
tinuously. In case your conditions
would permit the hydraulic ram, we
would be pleased to give you further
particulars—F. E. Fogle.

 

SOFTEN'ING WATER IN wéLL.

 

I have dug a well that has very hard
water. Is‘there anything that could
be placed in this well at regular inter-
Vals to keep the water soft?-—E. S.

I do not believe it would be practical
to try to soften the well water by mix-
ing softening materials in it at regular
intervals. Unless enough material
were put in"to make the water entirely
too strong in alkali to use at that par-
icular place, the softening would grad-

the main advantage over any scheme
of chemical toilet, in that it makes
possible the use of water in kitchen,

erly “constructed and installed, it is

which does not require frequent at-
tention.

Cost of chemical toilets vary from
$10 up in price. Names of manufac-
turers of this equipment can be found

WATER FOR HOUSE.

 

I would like,some information on
pumping water from a spring about
300 feet from the house, and twenty-
five feet lower. Would like to use as
small a pipe as I can that would. be
practical. We have a cistern, sowe
will not use a great deal of spring
water. would say spring does not
flow enough water for a ram.—~G. B.

The size of pipe that would be neces-
sary to use to carry water 300 feet
would depend upon the quantity of
water that it was necessary to pump
per minute. A three-quarter-inch pipe
would supplytwo gallons of water per
minute, with a loss of 2.46 pounds
pressure, ‘due to friction in the pipe.
A one-inch pipe would supply-three
gallons, at a»loss inpressure’ of-_1.62
pounds. 'A". one and one-'Quarte'ninch

It see-ms to me that your best solu-

HOW MUCH DOES GASOLINE
EXPAND?

 

Kindly tell me how much gasoline
expands in volume from a cool to a
warm temperature, say on a IOO—gallon
tank—P. T. O.

The expansion 'of gasoline in a fuel
tank with a. vent, will vary somewhat
with the grade of the fuel, and how
much evaporates and escapes as gas.
A rule which will give approximately
correct results» is to allow one per cent
increase in volume for each twenty
degreesincrease in temperature. Thus,
if a loo-gallon tank were completely
filled at sixty degrees R, which is usu-‘
ally, taken as a standard testing tem-
perature, its volume would increase
one gallon at eighty degrees, two gal~
Ions" at 190 degrees, and so on.

the questions they ask.

There is no reason for this one
certainty—none whatever. Be
sure the salt is right—and the
cure will take care of itself.

Diamond Crystal Salt is the
answer to all questions at curing
time. It is pure and mild; that
insures sweet, full/flavored meat.
It penetrates the meat to the
bone; that insures against spoil,
age. It dissolves quickly and
works into the meat readily; that
is an assurance against a salty
coating. Use Diamond Crystal—
you will see how well it works.

There is a Diamond Crystal
Salt for every farm use—for cure

. Family—By Ia/m Francir Care
Black Neb Reveals the Mystery

ISCOVERE‘D in his hiding place

by Big Judd, the mountaineer

friend of the Brown’s, Black Neb,
the old companion of Captain Petti-
bone, had been visited by members of
the Brown family. Steadfastly refus-
ing to talk to anyone except Beth, be-
cause he considered her a friend of
Jack Miller, who he referred to as
“Young Marse,” Beth was left alone
with the old Negro, who began a
strange tale.

“You see it was this way,” said
Black Neb, as Beth encouraged him to
go on. “The old Captain was a good
friend to me. He was a seafarin’ man
as you may know, an’ I was his cook.

We sailed all over the world, Miss". '

Them were great days for Neb.” The
old man relaxed and smiled reminis-
cently.

“Yes, yes,” said Beth softly, “I know
you loved the old Captain. Go on and
tell me how you came to come back
to the farm.”

“We sailed all over the world,” went
on the Negro, “seein’ strange sights
an’ strange people. Captain Pettibo-ne
war a trader, he’d swap anything on
earth, even his ship ef he thought it
war a good thing to do. I was with
him Miss, for more as fifty years. He
was a good man, he never done no-
body wrong, and he didn’t aim to do
you wrong.”

“Do you mean.” asked Beth quickly,
“that the Captain still is living and
that he. was with you in the cave?”

“N0, Miss,” replied Neb earnestly,
“the old Captain died that night when
Neb watched over him, an’ Jack Miller
came to help me. He lies buried just
as youall believe. But his work was
not done, Miss. He left us a work to
do and no man but Marse Jack and
Neb and one other knows what that
was.”

0 on,” cried Beth, “tell me what
it was.” .

“Give me time, Miss,” said Black
Neb. “It’s a long story.”

“When we was a tradin’ in foreign
waters,” went on Neb, “the Captain
met a likely woman. She was Spanish
and he married her.”

“What?” cried Beth, rising in her
excitement, “Everyone says that the

. old Captain was unmarried.”

“They don’t know,” said Black Neb.
“I know for I was thar. She was a
beauty and she sailed with us for a
year. Then she died, leavin’ a little
daughter. The Captain took her back
to his wife’s folks in Spain.”

“And the Fernandez family is Span-
ish,” breathed Beth to herself, “I begin
to see things more clearly.”

“It was many years before I seen
Little Marie again,” went on Black
Neb, “and then she was a grown wom-
an an’ had a little girl of her own.

She‘ would be about your age, Miss,
and as pretty as a picture. The Cap-
tain was close-mouthed, he never told
his folks but that he still was an old

bachelor. He loved that little girl,
though, Miss. He thought the world
of her. But the Captain didn’t know

Whether she was alive or dead, Miss.
Her folks took her away and he came
back to the old home.”

“She’d have been older than I am,”
said Beth, "for I have heard that the
Captain lived here twenty years.”

“Not so long,” answered Black Neb,
“and she would be about nineteen.

It warn’t long until Pedro Gonzalez
and two of his mates that he'd told

It was then, Miss, that we put up the

But he never heard any more of her.
He wanted her to have his money if
she was found.”

“The Captain was a trader,” went
on Neb, “and one day he met up with
the captain of another ship, a foreign
ship with a queer, outlandish crew.
They was a drinkin’ and a carousin’—
yes, Miss, the Captain would take ‘his

The upshot of it was that they traded
ships, cargo and every doggone thing
they had!” Black Neb had roused in
his excitement and his faded eyes
shone.

“We got the best of the bargain,”
continued Neb, “for in the foreign ship
we found a brass box filled with old
gold pieces. It waren’t the Captain’s
box, Miss, but belonged to one of the
seamen who had smuggled it aboard.

Two Bushels of Com, but What a Difference in Feeding
Value. There’s the Same Difference in Lubricating Oils.

TAKE a bushel of good, bright No. 2 corn and
a bushel of inferior grade that has been
caught by an early frost. Each is a bushel of
corn, but one will be worth twice as much as
the other in feeding value to make pork or beef
or milk. . -

Oils are like that. Two different quarts of
oil may show just as great a difference in lubri-
cating quality. That is the purpose of oil—to
lubricate. Your automobile and your tractor
live on it. The rapidly moving parts, where
metal slides on metal, must always be sepa—
rated by a thin film of oil, so that the actual

would happen if you tried to drive either your
car or your tractor with the crankcase dry. You
wouldn’t travel a hundred feet before the engine
would jam, and probably be ruined.

The same thing happens, but in a slower
way, when you use an oil that is lacking in lub—

ricating quality. Gradually, insidiously, such

an oil permits friction to do its deadly work
and although you may not be stopped so sud-
denly, you find eventually that the life 'of the

And the tragic thing about using unknown
oils is that you save’ bnly a few dollars in an en—

, are 0 look back a, moment, and
seegwhgat kind of a mad We have trav-
eled; .1 have been going over the‘roads
of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for
thespaset‘wo weeks, and have run'up
several hundred miles on the speedom-
,eter. The excellence of these roads up
here in the north has surprised me. On
runs along for miles at times, through
heavy timber, with no farms on either

hand, and ever as smooth roads as will ‘

be found anywhere in the state. But
what is wanting in tilled land is made
,up, at least" for the stranger, in the
scenery. The Country is its own re-
ward to those who have eyes to see.
And, of course, in other parts of the
peninsula, the farming is extensive.

, The loyal residents have styled it “Clo- ,

'verland," a name highly justified.
This is a good deal like these chap-

ters in the Old Testament we have

-been traversing
the past ninety
days. In prospect
it _did not look
any too promising,
but when travel-
ed, how reward-
ing! Here is hu-
man nature, in all
its nobility and

, its weak'ness, its
beauty and its ugliness. Here are folk
who need God, but who seem not to
know how to get at Him, and others
who light up the pages with their
heroic faith. Here are hero stories.
tales of adventure, love, fear, peril,
death. Just to be read aloud: what
can surpass many of these chapters?
Add to this the fact that it is an out-
of-doors religion, or mostly so. The
stale, musty odors of the unventilated
church are not here. The worship of
God is mainly under the open sky, with
the wind blowing in from the sea, or
across Galilee. Can we not restore
some of the beauty and strength of

an out-door religion? Margaret Wid-

demer, in “A Country Carol," says in

the last verse: .

“Where the jewelled minsters are,

- where the censors sway,

There they kneel to Christ on this, His

bearing-day:

But I shall stay to greet Him where

the bonny fields begin,

Like the fields that once my good Lord

wande1ed in,

Where His thorn-tree flowered once,

where His sparrows soared,
In the open country of my good Lord!"

Some oilth'e chief points of the les-
s‘ons seem to me to be:

1. Saul Chosen King. The unex-
pected man is often the best man for
a high and hard place. Formal school-
ing is necessary. Yetthe school of
experience must also be attended. Is-
rael’s first king was of this class. Note
also, thathe was successful so long
as he was humble, teachable. Becom-
ing great in his "own eyes, he fell into
error, weakness, -»violence.

 

2;, Samuel’s farewell. It is a goodly
scene, this of.the old man bidding

"good-bye to the people for whom he

had ”lived frOm childhood. What is
more inspiring than a well-earned and
God-fearing old age? Nothing, but
God-fearingyouth. Observe also, that
Samuel began in childhood. In this
he was like King Josiah, with whom

he may be profitably compared. Of

Goliath we are told that he was a man
of. war from his youth. David was a
shepherd" from his youth, Samuel a
servant of Jehovah from his youth. It
pays to begin young. ‘

3. Samuel ancints David. Man 100k-
eth on the outward appearance, the
Lord looketh on the heart. . No one
would have picked out the little shep-

, .7, :herd lad for great things. Yet events

wad throwing boys-in Sunday School

places.

4. David and Goliath. “Thou com-

est unto me with a sword and a spear _

and a- shield, but I come unto thee in
the name of the Lord of hosts.” Faith
will do wonders, then, as now. The
old song is right: “Faith is the vic-
tory that overcomes the world.”

5. David and Jonathan. A love
match between two young men! Did
you ever hear the like? And the love
match held, through storm and calm,
unto ‘death. Have you the faculty of
making frienfi? What is this quality?
To have friends, said Emerson, one
must show himself friendly. “I have
‘called you friends,” said ' the great
Friend. Christians ought to be friend-
ly folk. The church is the last place
on earth to work up a quarrel. One
would as soon expect to find snakes
or poison ivy in heaven.

6. David spares Saul. Was David
“soft?” As a man an a soldier,
should he have struck his mean and
jealous foe, when he had a chance?
Would the story read as well today,
and make the same impression on us?

7. The .Ark brought up to Jerusa-
lem. We cannot quite understand the
enthusiasm this engendered. But the
Ark stood for God, and these Hebrews
wanted to ‘be sure God was with them.
If they had God, they were not afraid
of anything or anyone. When every-
thing is going against you, and you
can say, I have God, I am sure of God,
You are on a foundation of stone and
cement.

8. Skipping this, as not containing
as much for us as some other lessons,
and- coming to nine. Nathan leads
David to repentance. Which was the
nobler character, in this scene? The4
man who had the courage to go into

the king (who had the power of life>

and death) and tell him hideous sin
to his face, or the man who sat on the
throne and who manfully confessed his
sin, and begged forgiveness?

NeW KItChens for Old

Plan to Have a Good Out/oat from Your Wanting Center to Enjoy Surroundmgs

EW kitchens are perfect. We
compromise between convenience
and beauty, or between sanitation
and convenience, and so on, according
to our sense of values. There is one
compromise that is decidedly worth
while, and that is between the out-
look from our kitchen window and the
location of the working center of the
kitchen. In other words, most of us
are willing to take a few extra steps
in order to stand by the window while
doing the dishes, so that we may see
the “goings-on” of the world outside.
Much of our housework is mechanical
and often permits the weary worker
to rest her eyes on the gloriously a1-
luring country.
In the kitchens of the newer houses,
sinks are usually placed on outside
walls, with two windows just above
the sink and drain boards. Formerly,
we thought we must put the sink on
an inside wall to keep the waterpipes
. from freezing. But nowadays that dan-
ger is done away with by the weather-
proof interlinings used between the
outer and inner walls.

Outside Your Kitchen Window.

Not only should we have a window
by our working center, but a pleasant
outlook as well! Never the broad side
of a barn! Wooded hills, fertile fields,
green meadows—even lakes and sun-
sets are occasionally available! Let’s
cut a hole in the wall if we have no

window near the business center of
the kitchen, so that nothing hinders
our best chance to enjoy our natural
surroundings.

Artists tell us that we should make
the kitchen our most attractive room
because the housewife spends more
time there than in any other room in
the house. Flirthermore, artists state
that we need the sparkle of color in
the kitchen, as well as “dignity of
good arrangement.” Evidently the day
of the white food laboratory is gone!
Whether we wake up our monotonous
color scheme with red tea pots or yel-
low calico curtains, we may as well
have a gay and jolly kitchen as well
as a. sanitary and practical one. '

Cover Dull Walls with Paint.

How may we attain an~attractive

effect in our kitchens without too great
an« expenditure of time and money?
Not}; difllcult, if we want to spend a
fowl hours with a few cans of paint-—
that magic covering of shabbiness and
ugliness—and a few yards of inexpen-
sive material that harmonizes with
" those cans of paint.
- V In the first place, we want a finish
on floor, walls, and woodwork that is
mot only durable and washable, but
also interesting.
paints include not only the neutral
and tasteful grays and buffs or tans

By Floris Culver Thompson ‘

a north, or rather dark kitchen, de-
mands warm colors, buff or yellow to
reflect light, while a bright, warm
kitchen needs soft grays, green, or
other cool colors. Of course, the floor
would need to be a neutral color,
whether painted, oiled, varnished, or
covered with linoleum. .

Put Color in Kitchen Accessories.

If we prefer a. peaceful. background,
we may wish to add cheer by painting
bright stencil flower designs or her-
ders on cupboard knobs or doors, on
tables, chairs, and cabinet. One wom-
an painted the inside of her cupboard
doors a bright red and carried out the
Spanish effect by putting red washable
oilcloth On the shelf by the sink! An-
other decorated with vivid color the
smaller furnishings of the kitchen,
such as garbage can, waste basket,
flower pots, cracker boxes, cookie jars,
and even the handle of her dish mop.
And all, or any of us can save our
uniformly-sized empty coffee cans for
awhile until
stately row of bright cereal and sugar
containers.

Of course, we can buy gay utensils
if we wish to so spend the money—
from peacock trays and vivid tie-backs
for our curtains, to a Dutch blue ser-
ies of dry food jars and fascinatingly
colored bread cans. But thereby you
part with your money and forego the
satisfaction of seeing such‘ miracles as

PUNGENT PICKIE POINTS.

 

IN making pickles one should always
' use sound vegetables. They should
be wiped off with a damp cloth, unless
they are badly soiled. Always wiph
dry, as damp foods produce a pickle
that spoils easily.

When available, use pure cider vin-
egar, as other varieties contain chem-
icals that soften pickles. Over—cook-
ing pickles also makes them flabby.
A little powdered alum may be added
to provide crispness, but it is to be
used in very small amounts.

In making and storing pickles, I do
not usemetal containers. Granite or
enamelware, glass and stone jars are
satisfactory. Too strong a. brine makes
pickles flabby. If the spices are tied
in a thin piece of muslin during the
cooking, they will not darken the pick-
les so much as otherwise. ,

Here are my four favorites that I
store regularly in my supply cupboard:

Pepper Relish.

12 green sweet peppers Small amount of sharp
(12 red sweet peppers red pepper (DOG or

12 cooking onions und ‘

4 tb. salt

Run the peppers and onions through

good vinegar of/the desired strength.

Going Halfway

-—By H 2740:

HE wife of one tenant farmer
met the wife of another tenant
and stopped to inquire how she
liked her new home. “I’m interested
because I once lived in that house
myself,” said the first woman. “A
more selfish, hard to get acquaian
with set of neighbors I never saw.

Are the Browns and the Smiths and__

the Goldens still your nearest neigh-
bors ‘3”

Being assured that the three famil-
ies still lived near, and that they were
good friends and neighbors, the woman
who had nothing good to say. for the
old neighborhood held up both hands.
“They must have had a change of
heart since I'left four years ago,” she
remarked, and then added, “HOW did
you ever get acquainted with them?”

The other woman gave her plan in
few words. She had started in at Sun-
day school, church services, a school
picnic on the last day in spring, and
had helped with a public sale dinner
given by the ’grange. “I met them
halfway by showing them that I wish-
ed to know them,” she said. VAnd this
woman holds no patent right on the
process of getting acquainted.

There are always public occasions
where the new family may go and
A cheery

Ricfimond

A Woman who received an invitation
to attend a social in the new neighbor-
hood before the goodsiwere all un-
packed, surprised her husband by bak-
ing a cake and preparing same other
food ready to go, busy as she was.

borhood, and we’ll do better hereP‘Was
And better they did
do, in every way, because of the right
attitude toward the place and its
people.

Of course, the older people should
make the advances, and usually they
are willing to go more than halfway,
unless they be elderly people who get
out but little, and in such cases the
newcomers must have ag‘welcome for
them when they do come. Often ill-
ness or absence from home causes
neighbors some delay in calling, but
no sane family would" think of holding
a grudge on that account. Accept the
apologies for the delay, and find com-
mon ground on which to build a friend-
ship.

It is too bad that our country has
not a more stable plan for holding ten-

HERE is a charm to the old-fash~

ioned needlework that few can re-
sist. Whether it be a hand-woven

great great grandmother, or a quilt
but half that old quilted in intricate
patterns and with eVen, seed-like
stitches, it captivates us and, if we
are fortunate to possess one or both,
we count them among our family
treasures.

Perhaps one of the most charming, ’

and also practical things that the re-
vival of old-fashioned needlecraft
brought to us, is the quilted pillow.
They can be developed in many shapes
according to the designs one selects.
It is quite simple to draft the designs,
but there "would be a double -charm
in a’quilted pillow if one copied the

 

design from their favorite quilted quilt.

Satin, sateen, taffeta, or other soft
silks, in colors to harmonize with the
color scheme of the room, make at-
tractive pillows. Even black, quilted
in bright colors, is most. efleCtive. The
design should be stamped on cheese-
cloth or thin muslin.

SPICED TOMATO PRESERVES.

 

Can you give me a recipe for to-
mato preserves that contain spices?
O.

_.

For tomato preserves have ready:

5 lbs. ripe tomatoes 2 lemons
4 lbs. sugar Salt

Scald the tomatoes and slip off the
skins. Place the tomatoes in a crock
or enamel bowl and add the. sugar.
Let them stand overnight. Drain off
the juice and boil it rapidly until it
threads, with two teaspoons of ground

 

 

wand the vinegar, a little at a time. If ,

ginger root and one teaspoon of cinna-
mon. Add the tomatoes and lemons,
sliced thin, and cook the preserves
until they are thick and clear. They
should be a rich, red color. Seal them
in clean, hot jars.

ANOTHER WAY WlTH MEBINGUE.

 

IF Mrs. B. S. will put hler meringue

on pie after the pie is cold, and
not make it too rich with sugar, I
think she will have no trouble with its
shriveling. One teaspoon of sugar to
one egg white is sufficient. Brown in
a moderate oven—Mrs. F. R. C.

 

_To WAX A FLOOR.

 

I would like to wax my kitchen
floor. Can you tell me how to do it?
——Mrs. D. 0.

To begin with, the floor should be
clean and dry. If necessary, stand the
wax can in a dish of hot water in
order to keep it soft. Put a small
amount of the wax on a flannel and
rub over a small portion of the floor.
Continue like this until all of the floor
is covered. It is best to rub with the
grain of the wood. Start in the far
corner of the room and do not step
on any portion that has been waxed.
Let the wax stand about three hours,
then polish with a piece of weighted
flannel until it shines.

 

A careful check by the federal spe-
cialists shows that every rat on the
farin costs the farm two dollars a
year in damage done.

fWhat I Get Out of the Fairs»

Same M. C.

G0 to our county fair for several

reasons. The first is, for the pleas-

ure of spending an afternoon or
evening at some different place. A fair
is on only once a year in each place,
and it affords clean fun for children
and grown-ups.

My second reason is: We see at the
fair many interesting and educational
things, all the finest sorts of vege-
tables, fruits and flowers; all the
paintings, drawings, sewing, baking,
preserves, and many kinds of handi-

 

 

 

fl’his Must be George Reiniink and His
Girl—He Didn’t Say.

work. Then we learn about the differ-
ent breeds of horses, cattle, sheep,
and fowl.

The fair also promotes the desire to
learn more about these things, and
where they all come from.

After all, every day I spend at the
fair is an interesting day of helpful
learning and pleasure different than
we are accustomed to all the year
round.—Beata Kaarlela.

I think a county or state fair is a
great thing to have. This year at our
county fair at Charlotte, Michigan, I
expect to take my calf, which I have
. in our calf club and, of course, if my

calf is good enough I will get a prize
. of some kind, and that is one thing
that is the best to me in getting things
out of the fair. .

Another thing that boys and myself
get out of the fair is the grain judging,
'which is a great thing for all boys.

As I glanced through the Michigan
Farmer I noticed the State Fair ad,
and I see they are going to have the
Fall of Troy in their fireworks. That
surely will be great, after studying
about it in history. When you go to
the State Fair you will see a lot of
nice stock and poultry.

At our county fair they had: school
exhibits, and our school won third
place and earned about ten dollars.
The money came in very handy, and
also it was good practice for us mak-
ing and drawing all these different
things.

When you go to the fair there is
a lot of side shows, but most of them
are something just to spend your mon-
ey on.

Also, you see horse races and auto
races at some fairs, and usually they
have a balloon ascension at the fairs.
-—John F. Strange.

 

The first time I was taken to the
fair by my parents, I was thrilled at
the many things I saw. The things
that took my delight were horse rac-
, “ing, merry-go-round, etc. But since‘l
' have grown older, educational things
have taken my interest. ‘

The fair gives us more knowledge-

._ “ , of animals, such as seals, and fur-bean

» ing animals whereas, in the city or on

I the'farm'we do not see these animals. .

I mpreuz'om

Another thing I like is the amuse-
ments, merry-go-round, Ferris wheel,
and the. beautiful fireworks. You 'sure
get your money’s worth, don’t you?

Sewing exhibits are also good. They

Other exhibits are also wonderful,
school, state, sewing, handicraft, etc.

‘ All this shows that Michigan has im-
proVed in every way. ,

Michigan is the home of .good fairs,
good schools, and good circles. Mich-
igan is my state, and shall always be.

Dear Uncle Frank: -

Say, Uncle Frank, how do you get
a pin? Do you have to win a,.contest?
If you do, I’m afraid I can’t get one,
for I’m not good at contests. Wouldn’t
it be nice if all the M. C.’s could see
each other?—Meadow Lark.

The only Way in which you can be-
come a Merry Circler is by working
the contests. You "ought to be scolded
for saying that you might not be able
to become an M. C. because you are
not good at contests.

 

Dear Cousins and Uncle Frank:

I certainly agree with Dagmar
Thomsen concerning the most import-
ant men which help to build the world
and make it what it is today.

About education, I think it is the
most necessary thing in life. The
mother who says education isn’t neces-
sary, doesn’t know what she is talking
about. Just because her sons didn’t
get an education is no sign that every-
one without an education would be as
successful as her sons.

Hoping to hear from some of the
M. C.’s, I am Esther Dumaw, R. 1,
Pentwater, Mich.

I would like more comments on the

ten important men. You are right
about education, but there are many
who have gone to school and have not
gotten an education. An education is
sometimes obtained through experi-
ence.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

Received the pencil and am writing
to thank you very much for it. It sure
is a dandy!

Again the country vs. city—well,
here are my ideas.
dear city folks and upholders of the
city, we do not mean some (if the
tumble-down and neglected farms one
sometimes sees. No more than by the
city you mean your poorest quarters.
For, on the whole, there are more well-
kept farms‘than neglected ones. And
on these one certainly can enjoy him-
self. Most farms have their own ten-
nis courts, croquet sets, or whatever
in the line of recreation appeals.
Then, too, in the country everyone is
neighborly, while in the city, people
living in the same buildings do not
speak. I am giving authentic facts,
for I have friends living in Chicago
and other cities who know., Taken
as a whole, the country for mine!—
Grace Cramer.

Yes, you gave facts, ut in the city
you can have good f nds and so-
ciable times, too, even though you may
not know your neighbors. But, just
the same, a nice Country place to:-
mine. .

  

Dear Uncle Frank and M. 0335‘

The people who say that a. high

person are sure mistaken. It really
is unfortunate that everyone” has not
the opportunity to get one. In my es-
timate, such an education broadens us
in every way. Although we do not
really begin to learn the ways and
duties of life until we graduate from
high school, this education is one of
the elementary steps that is very es-
sential.

Listen, Uncle Frank, give us one of
those contests in which we exchange
photos, similar to a correspondence
scramble. I have been waiting for one.

Hoping that dear old W. B. is on
his vacation, I remain your M. C. niece
and cousin, Sylvia T'ikkanen.

We had a photo contest some time
ago and it did not pull as well as it
might, probably because not every-
body has a suitable photo of himself.
You are right about high school edu-

cation.

 

Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins:

Since you ask it, I’m going to try
and write on evolution. Some time
ago I received as a prize from the M.
C. a very useful dictionary. Now, in
this very book are two words which»
I have looked up and pondered over
time and time again, only to come to
the same conclusion. I do believe in
evolution. The two words, by the
way, are evolve and evolution. Evolve
-—-to develop. Evolution—development
of forms of life.

Must that simple word, evolution,
bring to mind monkeys? Not in my
estimation. I believe evolution has
been going on from the beginning of
time. Evolution is just another word
for progress, or gradual change. I
shall not meddle with Darwin and his
theories. God made man! God made
monkeys! God also made all things!

Be I narrow~minded or not, all the
wise men in the world can’t shake my
stubborn faith in divine creation. I
shall always firmly believe God made
man in an image of himself, soul and
body—always. I can only shake my
dumb black head and say, “Don’t
monkey with the monkey when “the
monkey doesn’t monkey!” Anyway, I
hope my greatest great grandfather,
if he be a monkey, won’t ever find out
I am related to him, for I make a.
very poor monkey, lacking the spring,
grasp, and tail of one. My, how asham-
ed he would have to be of me.-——Chris-
tine Zech. ,

It looks as though Christine is as
good at this monkey business as at
prohibition, and she seems quite sen-

sible about it, too.

 

Dear Uncle and Cousins:

I read the splendid letter written by
“Question Mark.” which appeared .in
a recent issue of the Michigan Farmer,
and I would like to give my humble
opinion in answer. .

I think studying during vacation is,
a fine thing, but I would advise taking
up an entirely different subject from
the regular school work. I find it
very interesting to look over my school
books of earlier grades. I think young
students under. the ninth grade do not
appreciate the valuevof their studies,
and \study hard to get a good. mark,
and to make their grades, without
realizing of, how much use it is going ,

to be to them in everyday life later .

on. I can go back and review some
of the studies Which I. took up long-
ago, and
now than' did then. - , ..

organhzation ’givmg help to missionar-

a society. has great influence on young

boys and girls‘in the home-land, be-
cause such a society would cause par-
ents to realize the importance of their
little folks in a community, and be-
cause Sunday School'and Missionary
Circle should go hand in hand.

As to questiong-threeh—eif I were mar-
ried. and wished to engage in commu-
nity work, it would probably be for
one of two reasons—first, because I
thought it a religious. duty, or felt
called to do that especial work—or be-
cause I liked it, Wanted to do it for
the sake of a namein‘church, wanted
it for a mere avocatiop,’ or some other
personal reason. If I felt' called to do
that especial work, and my husband
objected, I should go calmly ahead
just the same, and feel that he had
little to say in the matter, ,so-longias
I did not neglect my home. On the
other hand, if I wished to engage tin
the work for some personal reason,
and he objected, I would do aboutdas
he wished, in order to avoid a strain
on the family tie; feeling thankful that
he had an interest in my work, and
relying a little, at least, upon his judg-
ment. , -

I might say, in closing my volumin-
ous letter, that I have come to two
conclusions, firstly, that individual cas-
es alter matters greatly, and secondly,
that we all know as little as possible
what-we would do—until after we are

Fair Poultry

By R. G. Kirby

HE production poultry show at

the State Fair brought out 391

birds, which was more than dou-
ble the entry last year. There were
thirteen pens entered. One poultry-
man who showed production bled
Barred Rocks at the fair had never
brought birds there before. He enter-
ed nineteen Rocks and Won $50 in
cash prizes.

In the State Fair laying contest, the
breeders entered five biids for six
days. The places won, and number of
eggs produced, were as follows. Harry
Burns, of Millington, 19; Ralph Wenig,
of Hudson, 18; Warren Finkbeiner, of
Clinton, 18; Polk Brothers, of Paris,
17; Walnut Hill Farm, of Milford, 17
each for two pens; E. G. Shepherd, of
Rochester, 16; C. H. Dykeman, of Port
Huron, 16; Mrs. Ruth Laurie, of Man
chester, 15; W. S. Hannah & Son, of
Grand Rapids, 13. Wenig and Fink-
beiner tied for second and third place.
Polk Brothers, and the two pens from
Walnut Hill Farm tied for fourth, fifth
and sixth. Shepherd and Dykeman
tied for seventh and eighth.

In a short laying contest of this type,
it is evident to poultrymen that the
element of good luck is something of
a factor, but the contest is an inter-
esting sporting event; especially for
city observers at the fair who do not
have the opportunity of visiting a big
contest, and have never seen an event
of that kind.

The old reliableexhibition of Barred
Rocks was still much in evidence at
the fair, and made a fine appearance.
The exhibition males, with their beau-
tiful color and lacy barring, are very
attractive. They are built on sturdy
yellow legs and have qualities as pro-
ducers of poultry meat which many
farmers admire.

The production-bred Barred Rocks
also brought out birds averaging very
good in color. Most of the hens and
pullets had neat, alert heads and
enoughsize to make them persistent
layers, the type of birds that can stand
up under the strain of heavy produc-
tion. The bred-to-lay Barred Rocks at
the fair seemed to me to average much
better in size, color and general type
than the production Rocks entered a
few years ago. The demand for Bar-
red Rock broilers has encouraged the
Rock breeders to hatch from birds of
good size and vigor. Such birds are
profitable producers of both eggs and
meat, and that is the service expected
of the Rock.

The White Leghorn is securely hold-
ing its place as the great commercial
‘egg producer.ty The exhibition Leghorn

‘ chmos muses

ATILD‘A RINKE, of Warren, was
crowned champion milker in the
milking contest conducted by the mam
agement" of the Michigan State Fair.
This sixteen-year-old girl won the
championship by drawing 3.2 pounds
of milk per minute from a large Hol-
stein cow.
Milton Stewart, a boy club member
from Tuscola county, won second place
when he drew 2.9 pounds of milk per
minute. The night before the chain-
pionship contest, young Stewart won
first in the boys’ preliminary lcontest.
Third honors were won by Elizabeth
Priess, Utica, Michigan. Miss Priess
won first place in the girls’ prelimi-
nary contest.
Others who placed in the champion-
ship milking contest were: Cyril
Spike, of Ypsilanti, fourth; Cath-
erine Schoenkerr, of Utica, fifth, and
J. C. Blade, of Cass City, sixth.

Other breeds such as the Rh-ode Is-
land Reds, Speckled Sussex and Brah-
mas, have many friends and are filling
an important place in the poultry
shows. The Red is‘ one of the most
popular breeds in the general farm
flock, and the quality of the production
Reds seems to be improving every
year.

The boys and girls from both the
farms and the cities never fail to ap-
preciate the display of many varieties

of bantams at the State Fair. It is '

natural for children to love pets, and
the beautiful ornamental bantams
which they own, are often the means
of developing poultry men and women
at a later date. I sometimes think it
would often pay to forget the money
side of the transaction and allow chil-
dren to own bantams just for the
pleasure. Even then the value of the
small eggs, compared with their small
feed bill, might make them of some
value as food producers.

The White Holland turkeys display-
ed at the fair attracted much attention.
They are not as large as the Bronze,
but fill the needs of the farm family
and' are a very satisfactory market
breed. The Toulouse geese, Pekin
ducks, and other water fowl in the
court of the poultry building, always
furnish a fine sight to poultrymen and
city visitors, who do not often see so
many breeds of water fowl together.

The birds entered by the string men
are often of rare and ornamental
breeds not usually seen on the farms
of the state. For that reason they are
interesting, and adll‘ to the fair. As
one poultryman said to me, “Where
would we get the Cochins, Houdans,
Game Bantams, and other rare breeds
if the string men did not enter them?”

However, he did suggest that it
would be better to confine the entries
of string men to the number of ex-
hibitiou coops available. Then they
would have to move their birds from
the narrow, undersized coops and
place them along with the other en-
tries. When the supply of wire ex—
hibition coops were exhausted, no
more entries would be accepted. Then
the visitor hunting for the prize win-
ners in any class, would not‘ find first
and third side by side, and have to
hunt all through the boxes of a string
man to find the second pi‘ize winner.
It is considerable strain on poultry
to coop them for long periods in the
little coops used by some of the string
men. Some of the birds showed bad

condition, with colds and roup appear—
ing. No diseased birds should be re-
tained in a poultry show because of
the danger to other exhibits. They
are not attractive, and do a poultry
show considerable harm.

It has been suggested that the string
men be limited to entering three breeds
at the fair. Of course, this would cut
out a lot of the rare breeds which help
to attract visitors to the show. It
would seem better to give the birds a
health inspection and then compel the
exhibitors to place them in wire 'ex-
hibition coops where they have room
to scratch. If that was done, the more
rare birds in the entries, the greater
the interest of the general public. A
poultry show largely confined to three
or four major breeds would be of in-
terest to specialty breeders, but lack
in interest for the general public. The
State Fair is not entirely a breeders’
show, but a great exhibition in which
all citizens of the state have the priv-
ilege and opportunity once a year of
looking over the products of the farm.

MICHIGAN cow BREAKS BUTTER
RECORD.

AISY Aaggie Ormsby 3rd, a sev-
en—year—old Holstein cow owned
by” the Lakefield Farms, Clarkston,
Michigan, has just completed a butter
production record which makes her
the United States butter champion ov-
er all ages and all breeds. In 365 days
she produced 33,140 pounds of milk
containing 1,286.23 pounds of butter-
fat, or 1,607.78 pounds of butter.
For this honor she displaces another
Holstein, May Walker Ollie Home-

stead, who has held the championship
since 1922, with a. butter production of
1,523.24 pounds. May, now thirteen
years old, recently... sold in a public
sale for $4,000. 7

This performance of the new cham-
pion makes her not only the only cow
in the United States to produce that
amount of butter, but alsorgives her
a world’s record over all breeds for
total butter-fat production in three lac-
tations. She has twice produced more
than 1,000 pounds of butter-fat in a
year. . T

onstration o't Consistent production
throughout the year,. and in 110 month

" of the last twelve did she average less

than eighty pounds of milk per day,

“ and in no one of these months did she

average less than three pounds of but-
ter-fat per day. The first ninety-seven
days of her test, and the last forty,
were under full official supervision.

During her ‘record- breaking year she
was under general charge of O. F.
Foster, manager of Lakefield Farms,
which are owned by J. E. Lambert
and Oscar Webber, of Clarkston.

Her ration during the recent. test
was composed of a combination of
twenty- -four per cent test ration, and
a fitting ration of corn, oats, oil meal
and bran, shewing an average of nine-
teen per cent protein. She was fed
liberally on alfalfa and one-half a bush-
el of silage, with a. liberal quantity of
wet beet pulp at each feeding.

“Daisy Aaggie Ormsby,” says 0. F.’

Foster, “has not yet reached the limit
of her capacity of production.’

WHEAT.

W‘heat prices declined to a new lowr
level for the season during the past
week as a result of unexpectedly large
forecasts of the domestic spring wheat
crop and the Canadian yield. The
market has shown stability in the last
day or two, however, probably be-
cause of a feeling that the decline of
about 25 cents from the high point of
the season discounts much of the
change in the situation.

The estimate for the Canadian crop
was placed at 459 million bushels, or
an increase of 102 million bushels
compared with a month ago. This
would be the second largest crop on
record in Canada and nearly 60 mil-
lion bushels more than last year. If
this forecast and the domestic crop
estimates are correct, North America
will have a surplus of 600 million
bushels or more for export.

Rye prices have shown more
strength than wheat. Reports from
abroad have indicated that a good deal
of import rye will be needed this year.

In the two weeks ending September'

10, 2 million bushels were exported
from the United States, the largest
for any like interval since late in May.
These exports have absorbed the new
crop movement so that the rate of
:increase in the visible supply has been
quite slow. The visible now holds
2,444,000 bushels compared with 9,957,-
' 000 bushels last year and is the small-
est at this season in more than a half
a dozen years.
ORN.

Corn prices declined sharply during
the early part of the last week but
the market shows signs of having
finished this downward movement. At

.the low point, prices were about 25

-'~--~,.(:ents below the peak reached only a.

little over month ago and three-

[fourths of the advance from the low

decline has improved the demand‘in
some directions.

OATS. ,
Oats prices have been relatively.
firmer than—corn. Since both the new
crop and the carryover-1 are small, the
oats situation looks fairly strong.
Receipts of oats have been moderate.
About 12,000,000bushels have been
added to the visible supply‘ in the last
five weeks compared with 14,000,000
bushels in the same period last year
and 33,000,000 bushels two years ago.
The visible at present is smaller than
usual at this season.

BEANS.

Bean prices were slightly lower dur-
ing the past week, »-with new crop
quoted at $5.80 to $5.90 per 100
pounds, f. o. b., Michigan shipping
points on C. H. P. Whites. Weather
has been excellent for harvesting the
crop, but too hot for an active de-
mand.

The Michigan yield was estimated
at 5,279,000 bushels of which nearly
all will be merchantable compared
with 6,624,000 bushels last year of
which only 5,300,000 bushels were
merchantable. California production
of all varieties is forecast at 4,662,000
bushels against 5,740,000 bushels last
year. Colorado and New Mexico will
have big crops with 2,161,000 and
1,386,000 bushels respectively against
1,086,000 and 838,000 bushels last year.

SEEDS.

The United States Department of
Agriculture estimate-s that the red
clover seed crop will be 80 to 100 per
cent greater than the unusually small
crop in 1926. Prices offered to grow-
ers as of August 31 averaged $24.15
per 100 pounds for clean seed com-
pared wit‘. an average. of $21 on that
date in the last four years.

Alsike clover seed production is es-

timated by the Department of‘Agricul:

lure at about one-third larger than
last year when the crop was about
25 per cent greater. than the very
small 1925 crop. Prices paid t0 grow-
ers at the start of the crop season
averaged $21.60 per 100 pounds for
clover seed, or about the same as a

probably is about over, and the recent“

    

year ago when they were highest
since 1920. Movement of timothy seed
has been slower than usual, and only
40 per cent of the crop had leftgrow-
er‘s’ hands by September 6. against 45
per cent last year-.and 70 per cent two
years ago. - Prices to growers aver-
aged $2.65 per 100 pounds on Sep-
tember 6 against $4,60 a year ago.
Unless killing frosts hold off longer
than usual, alfalfa seed production
will fall, considerably below that of
'last year. The crop is late in the im-
portant northern and central produc-
ing sections. The movement of alfalfa
seed has been slow thus far, with
prices in the far southwest ranging
from $10 to $13.75 per 100 pounds,
which is somewhat lower than last

year.
’ EGGS.

‘ Egg prices continued their seasonal
advance in the last week. Small re-
ceipts, large withdrawals from storage
and active demand were the strength-
ening factors. In the last two months,
the receipts of eggs at the four lead-
..ing cities were the smallest at the
corresponding period since 1922. As
a. result, storage holdings have been
reduced much more than usual in that
period. On September 1, stocks in
storage were only 79,000 cases more
than last year, whereas on July 1,
there was ,an excess of more than
1,400,000 cases. In other words, be-
sides the current receipts, 1,300,000
cases more storage eggs had been con—
sumed than- in 1926.
