‘ Here 18 a Tremendous Tax Which M1ch1gan Farmers Can Largely Eliminate»





ARM fires have become a menac-

Fing thing. In Michigan last year,



the loss to farmers was not far

from five millions of dollars. Think

of it—-an average of over twenty-five

dollars for every farm in the state.

And this loss goes on year after year

in face of the fact that easily seventy-

.five per cent of the loss could be

prevented.





Before'us is a report of Hon. 0. D.

Livingston, commissioner of insurance

and state fire marshal, giving the

losses sustained last year by farmers

belonging to the mutual fire insurance

companies of the state. According to

this report, the first ever issued in

Michigan, the losses of mutual com—

panies for the year ending with De-

cember, totaled $2,561,746.51.





In addition, old line companies have

paid such tremendous sums on farm

fires that they are discontinuing their

country business as rapidly as pos~

sible.





Many Without Insurance



Further, there are whole sections of

the state Where the fire hazards have

become so great that no insurance

can be had at all, even from mutual

companies. For

record of the losses can be had, and

we only guess that they were very

large, for, with small losses, insur-

ance would have been available.



A thing that saddens one is to know

that of the above losses, more than

half was from the burning of farm

homes. There were 2,652 of these

lost in these mutual companies last

year. Several counties in the state

have fewer farm homes than this,

and, mind you, these are by no means

all that burned in 1927.





The MICHIGAN FARMER feels that

few things need doing worse on the

farms of the state than the reduction

of these tremendous fire losses. For

this reason, we have set about the

task and have devised, as a starter,

the unique plan described On this

page.



The great majority of these fires



is not started intentionally. They

are largely the result of carelessness,

of indifference, or of not knowing

what can be done to prevent them. So

to overcome this sad situation, we

have worked out the score card shdwn

on this page. In announcing this

unique plan we wish to acknowledge

the able assistance of James Slocum,

Secretary of the Pioneer Mutual Fire

Insurance Company of Detroit, who

has been a leader in reducing fire

hazards on farms, and also the enthu-

siastic support of our State Fire Mar-

' shal, Mr. Livingston.

. If every farmer and his family will

sit dowu, for an hour and carefully

study this score card and the sugges-

tions on scoring, and then apply it to

his own premises, we believe that a

very long step will have been taken

in, reducing the fire tax on Michigan

farms.



These days, every person who car-

ries insurance pays when a fire oc-

curs in his company. When a. fire

results from the carelessness of a

*‘member, every other member in the

company must go down in his pockets

and share the loss. Every fire pre~

vented on the premises of patrons of





. i ‘ your company saves you money.





If we can spread the gospel of fire

‘ prevention throughout the farming

g districts of Michigan, then the farm-



gers will be- able to save themselves

million dollar annual loss. It will also

be possible for every farmer in the

state who deserves fire insurance, to

have it. We, therefore, dedicate the

score card and the suggestions on

scoring presented on this page to the

farmers of the state of Michigan.





Suggestions on Scoring





The purpose of this score card and

these suggestions is to aid the farm-

er in reducing the danger of losses

from fire. \Vhile‘the outline covers

the general field quite thoroughly, it

is impossible to adopt the scheme to

every situation. Therefore, the party

scoring will need to use judgment as

well as a little study in arriving at

the final scores. In case any fire

hazard referred to in these sugges-

tions does not exist on the premises





to the allowance made for a wood

roof. »





Chimneys and Smoke Pipes——

50 Points



Allow thirty points where chimneys

are provided with a vitrified tile flue

lining and extends above the highest

ridge on the dwelling.



Allow thirty points when chimney

is built from the ground up or on a.

basement wall with the foundation be-

low the frost line to prevent settling

and cracking.



If chimneys and smoke pipes are

cleaned frequently, especially when

soft coal is burned, give thirty points.



When stove or furnace smoke pipes

are put up firmly and do not pass

through partitions or floors or near

woodwork, allow thirty points. If a

good metal thimble or tile insulator

is used through partitions or floors, or

E. W. Lincoln Regains Health While He Succeeds at Farming





HEN the crops fail, the bills

pile up, your bank turns you

down, all your. thinking just

won’t bring you anywhere, and then

when the doctor solemnly advises you

to go west, it is most discouraging.



Many people get like that. Not in-

frequently I .feel just so myself—a.

sort of a down-and-out creeping para-

lysis comes over one, annihilating all

the fine relations in life. The good

things, the high ideals, the principles

you have banked on in the past just

seem to slip away.



Sometimes these spells are the pro-

duct of'fancy. Then again there are

reasons galore for their being. But

whatever the cause and however far

down in spirit one has been pulled,

there comes a light upon o-ne’s path,

as he thinks of the story of E. W.

Lincoln, .3, Michigan Master Farmer,

of Greenville.



Mr. Lincoln had so many discourage-

ments that I am ashamed to mention

mine when in company with any per-

son who knows this Greenville farm-

er. Just a multitude of things con-

spired to make going hard for him.

And then the doctor seemingly laid

the last straW»by telling this man

what the profession has told thou-

sands of others, “You must go west.”

He followed the doctor’s advice; but

like a large percentage of others who

have sacrificed for the westward jour-

ney, no benefit resulted. So human

like he came back to Michigan to be

with his friends.



But through all these vicissitudes his

spirit was not fully subdued. And on

his return he immediately considered

the matter of a job. The most likely

thing was the operation of a 100- -acre

farm a few miles north and east of

Greenville. Here he located himself

and soon he was taking a real interest

in the farming business. His interest





finally bloomed into a passion for the l





production of quality products. This

passion in time conquered all those

trying situations that confronts a nor-

mal man who, without capital, is try-

ing- to succeed at farming. Soon also

he forgot the troubles of the flesh





,and a new hope radiated in his heart.





After studying and trying a 'number

of different lines on his farm, Mr.





'Lincoln finally settled down to the





production of good potatoes and good

little else than how the soil in this

field and that one was made to pro-

duce large yields of uniform potatoes.

He follows well-known methods in

securing rich soil. His manure. sup-

ply comes largely from the Chicago

stockyards. This he applies abun-

dantly in the summer to fields se-

lected for potatoesithe next year. The

land is then sown to rye. The follow-

ing spring this rye is plowed down

and from 500 to 800 pounds of a com-

plete fertilizer,‘ usually 4-16—4 is ap—

plied. He. also uses green crops— for

building up the soil humus. Alfalfa,

June clover, and sweet clover are

used for this purpose. Alfalfa-how-

ever seems to be the crop upon which

he is now depending most. After tak-

ing off a cutting of hay, the second

growth is often cut and allowed to lay

on the ground to decompose. Th1ough

this the new growth comes, produc-





Mr. Lincoln is no exception. On

our last visit, he seemed to talk of





ing spring.





After plowing, the land for potatoes

is cultipacked, disced, and harrowed

until ‘the whole soil mass is uniform

and free from air pockets or layers

of manure or straw which prevent

roots reaching down into the subsoil





for moisture.





He grows Russet Rurals, Cobblers,

and White Rurals. In planting, the

seed is treated for scab, scurf, and

other diseases. The tubers are cut

and planting is done between May 15

and 18 for the early‘varieties and

from June 5 to 15 for the late kinds.

Cultivation is done with two horses.

Usually five sprays of Bordeaux and

arsenate of lead are applied. The crop

is harvested with a horse digger,

stored in pits, and sold in the spring

for certified seed. ' For the past five

years his yields have averaged around



' the 300 bushel mark.



Mr. Lincoln believes strongly in

storing seed potatoes in pits. Every

test shows increased vitality for seed

housed in this manner as compared to

that kept in a cellar. It is necessary,





ing additional vegetable matter to be

plowed under that fall or the follow-

it goes to the yards. Some wood

hind wheel, jack it up and buzz your

wood or hook onto the silo filler.



But it wasn’t about autos that we

started to write. It was about a mem-

ber of the legume family which is

about as versatile an actor about the

farm as the aforesaid mentioned auto.

It is no other than the once despised

and now highly esteemed sweet clo-

What are some of these virtues it

has? Well, listen to some of these.

cured it makes a good hay. One that

will make bossy shell out the milk or

put beef ’on the steer. However, it

isn’t an extra good horse feed. When

cut high enough a good pasture should

follow. If you want some more hay,

cut the second growth. If not wanted

for hay or pasture, a fair seed crop

may be obtained. Or, better than

either of the before mentioned things,

let the second crop stay on the land

and be plowed under as a green man-

ure crop.



Today, sweet clover’ s greatest value

seems to be as a pasture or green

manure crop. It has been growing in





’favor with Kent County farmers. The





summer of 1925 our attention was

called to six farmers on the west side

of the county who were using sweet

clover for pasture. They averaged

nearly two cows per acre. Ripe ,bf‘





 

 





 





associations and their records bore

out the facts that four of them with-

out any grain were maintaining their

milk flow. One of them, with a grain

supplement, was getting as good pro-

duction as he did in December when

his cows were fresh. This was in a

year when ordinary pastures dried up.

The results secured by these men

stimulated the further use of sweet

clover as a pasture crop in our coun-

ty. It is being grown in a three year

rotation—corn, oats, and sweet clover.

Under favorable conditions, pasture is

obtained after the oats are off. .



It seems to be as good a pasture for

hogs and sheep as for cattle. Fred

Schmalzreid of Emmet County sowed

sweet clover'in a field where legumes

had failed twice. The sweet clover

caught and did well. The summer was

a. dry one and the June grass pasn

tuxes dried up early. What to do with

a bunch of steers, sheep, and lambs

was a question. The writer advised

turning them into the sweet clover.





They became used to it in a day or ‘





two and the results were marvelous.

The steers and sheep picked up in

flesh, the lambs we1e finished in good

shape and sold well on the local mar

ket. His brother, Theodore, had a

we . ' the Reed-Curtis bill

ucatzon which proposes to





bring the school sys-

tems of the country under federal

control and supervision. It would con-

solidate the activities of the Bureau

of Education, the Federal Vocational

Education Board and other govern-





mental offices under the secretary of-





education.





The proponents for the bill claim

that we have invested five billion dol-

lars and are spending two and one-

half billions a year on education. They

believe that as more than a quarter of

the money for education is provided

for by taxes, in order to have a unified

nation, we must have federal control.





The National Grange is opposing

this bill as it sees in further federal

meddling with education an effort of

politicians and educational officials to

develop not only more lucrative jobs





but a sort of nationalistic type of mind. -





It believes that such an act would

make the schools the football of poli-

tics.





It is the belief of the Grange and

others that there is now too much

supervision and inspection which

makes the “overhead” in our educa-

tional system unusually high. An ef-

fort to bureaucratize educationwould

bring about more attention to the

form of education than to its content.

These opponents of the bill wish to

keep the school the pride of its com-

‘munity, instead of an uninteresting

part of a formal system of education.

large number of letters received at

this office indicatesthat farm WOmen

have become particularly interested in

a. number of sbhemes which offer.

home sewing, art work, and the like.

Investigations of a number of these

rich-sounding, easy—money schemes

prove that, in the majority of cases,

where advertisers offer a. course of

instruction or an initial outfit, their

aim is to sell the outfit or instruction

rather than furnish employment.

When considering'any home work

scheme, it is advisable to investigate

before investing even a small sum.

Better yet, to analyze one’s immediate

resources for possible opportunities of

making a few extra dollars from the

home market.

The motor truck has also revolu-

tionized the dairying business Be-

tween 1910 and I924 it has taken over

the hauling of the milk formerly

handled by electric railways, wagons,

and steam lines. Because of the chick-





ness and convenience of hauling by -





the truck, the dairying areas have ex:

pended, and extended greater 'dis-

tances from their markets. ‘





The motor truck has helped to de- '

centralize farming and has thus en- "





abled farmers some distance away

from the markets to get as much

benefit from those markets as if they

had lived closer. '

this trouble and how can it be reme-



died? Is a new flywheel necessary?



Any suggestions will be apprediated.

..W H.





Probably the most common causes

of starting motors locking in this way

is broken or damaged teeth either in

the starting motor pinion or in the

engine flywheel. Where the flywheel

rim and starter pinion are exposed,

it is a simple matter to examine them

to see if this is the cause; where not

exposed, it is usually possible to exam-

ine the flywheel rim by removing. the

clutch plate cover. If the pinion is

bad, a new one. is the best remedy.

If the flywheel teeth are broken a new

flywheel can be installed, or the old

flyWheel can be put in a lathe and

‘the teeth turned off and a steel band

with teeth on the outer surface can

be shrunk on the flywheel.



Another common cause is too much

grease and dirt or frozen mud or

water on either the flywheel cogs, the





, starter pinion, or the starting motor





shaft. This will usually be stopped by

cleaning of these parts thoroughly and

keeping them clean with kerosene and

light cylinder oil.



Other causes are worn pinion, bent

starting motor shaft, starting shaft

out of proper alignment, weak battery,

poor starting motor brushes or com:





mutator, and so on. In any case, the .

proper .thing is to get a competent ‘





mechanic to look it over carefully and

see just what the trouble is. Know-

It Costs

Very Little

to Recondition

a Model T



Ford





THE cost of reconditioning the Model T Ford is

small because of the low cost of Ford parts and

the established Ford policy of charging all labor

at a standard flat rate.





The economical thing for you to do with your .





Model T Ford’is to take it to the nearest Ford

dealer and have him estimate on the cost of putting

it in A1 shape. You may find that the expenditure

'of a few dollars will be the means of giving you.

thousands of miles of additional service.



For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can

have your motor and transmission completely

overhauled. This price includes new bearings,

reboring cylinders and any other work necessary.

Parts are extra. I





Noises in the Model T Ford can be taken out





easily and cheaply. The labor cost of tightening

doors 15 only $1. 25. Usually very few new parts ~ .





are required.



There is no reason for driving a shabby Ford.

Repainting runs from $10 to $25. Taking dents

out of body panels and doors runs from $3 to $16

for labor. A fender can be replaced for a labor

charge of $1 to $2.50. The cost of fenders runs

from $3.50 to $5.



It will pay you, therefore, to see your Ford

dealer and have him put your Model T in good:

running order. By doing so you will protect and.

maintain the investment you have in your’car and

get months and years of pleasant, reliable trans--

portation' at a very low cost per mile.

HEN Fall and Doheny .were

white-washed by a Washington



. ~jury a year ago, the country

was surprised. When a few days ago

another Washington jury handed Sin-

clair a. halo for his part in the Tea-

pot Dome transaction, the country

was astonished. For in the meantime

decisions from the. highest cOurts in

the land had left the public 111.110 “rea-





men. The verdict amounted to a

mockery of justice.





Sinclair is still .to face the charge

of jury tampering in this Very case,~

which caused the dismissal of the

first jury drawn.



However, I— do not impugn the hon-

esty of the trial jury. Theirs may

have been a- Scotch verdict—~“ guilty

It was not so much the faultof the

jury but the evidence that was with-

held and was not presented tenths

jury, which made a just verdict im-

possible. Smart lawyers making use

of legal technicalities,

court machinery, were responsible for

it. Many pertinent facts never got. to

the jury.

The moral seems to be that if you

have a poor case you should obtain a

smart lawyer and a jury.

By unanimous decision the Supreme

Courtof the United States declared

the Fall-Doheny lease of naval all

lands in California was "consummated





by conspiracy, corruption, and fraud.“





This was the “black satchel” case.



In the Fall-Sinclair case,' the Su-

preme Court canceled Fall’s lease of

Teapot Dome on the ground of fraud,

branded Fall 3. “faithless public offi-

cer” and declared the lease to Sin-

was made “by means of collu-

sion and conspiracy.”



A blistering decision by the United

States‘Court of Appeals—also unani—

“a trail of deCeit,





cormption was through the trans-

actions.”



Important witnesseS‘in the Teapot

’Dome case fled the country and still

are in exile. Others have shown such

reluctance to testify that they have

been arrested for 'contempt.



Then Fall himself refused to an-

swer the questions of the Senate com-

mittee on the ground he might be

incriminated.



Few, if any, of these facts could be

communicated officially to the jury.

Both the Sinclair and Dohenyflleases

were canceled, and this property was

restored to the people. Neither Do-

heny’ nor Sinclair-was able to hold \the

naval oil lands, clandestinely and un-

lawfully signed over to them by Fall,

although Doheny valued his lease at

100‘ million dollars, as he testified be-

fore the Senate committee. _



The alleged purchase of two-thirds

of Fall’s ranch, and the payment of

Fall’s debts, is now kn’own to have

been due‘ solely to Sinclair and

Orville Churchill of Emmet County



purchased a. farm on which was a

ill needed hay sohe out both crops. The

'sweet clover-“area was plowed along

with the rest of the field for rye. The

following July he called me to see

the effect of the sweet clover on the

rye. Where the clover was plowed

down he had a good crop. It stood

eight to ten inches higher than the ,

other. Equal sized plots were threshed '1

from both of the plots. .Where the

sweet clover grew, the rye yielded

seventeen bushels to the acre. Where

there was no sweet clover, the yield 5

was eight and one- quarter bushels i

and there was 800 pounds of straw in ~

favor of the clover. .



G. S. Felt of Kent County has used

sweet clover for pasturing his Hol-

steins and has fed the hay. _One

year he plowed down part of'a sweet

11000 Week-old ‘ Chicks on a lB-Weeks’ Test

9 Charge one pen with $6.00 worth of Pan-a-ce-a

But—CREDIT them with $57.95





 





 





1000 White Leghorn chicks, bought from a

Commercial hatchery when they were one

fday old, were divided and placed in 2 pens.

All of the chicks were given the same

care. ’All received exactly the same kind of

feed (a home-made dry mash) except that

- 5-00 of the chicks had 2 pounds of Dr. H‘ess

Poultry Pan-a-ce-a mixed with every 100

pounds of their feed.





 





The test was begun when the chicks were





one week old and continued for 13 weeks,

until they were 14 weeks old.



At the end of 13 weeks, when the chicks

were 14 weeks old, the proportion of cock-

erels and pullets in the Pan-a—ce—a pen and

Pl 0 N 66R outlasts

THERE are many good reasons for the longer- lasting qualities of “Kokomo Pioneer"

Fence. First, the wire is made from copper- -bearing RUST- RESISTING STEEL. Then

LEAD- ANNEALED and heavily galvanized with 99 1/5 percent PURE ZINC. Zinc cannot

rust! This affords double protection against rust.



Then the famous “Pioneer” knot, the KNOT THAT .CAN' '1‘ SLIP, makes it impossible

to enlarge the openings in the fence. THE STRONGER THE LOAD OR STRAIN. THE

TIGHTER THE KNOT BECOMES. Strain breaks other fences—it only tightens “Pioneeri”

The knot IS protected by a heavy zinc coating just the same as the rest of the fence. “Kokomo

Pioneer' is galvanized by a process that makes the zinc coating a part of the steel so there

is no cracking or peeling as is the case in ordinary fencing.



The extra coil in the lirre wires provides perfectly for contraction and expansion. and

when properly stretched the LINE WIRES BECOME LIVE WIRES. When you stretch

“ Pioneer” properly. it STAYS STRETCHED.



' All of these qualities answer the “why" of “Pioneer' ' long life. There are many othet

reasons why it will outlast any other fence put on the market.

From INGLESIDE FAR’Me—By Stanley Powell





 





S I drove to church last Sunday.



morning I observed With“ the



keenest regret and apprehension

that several farmers along that six

mile drive were brazenly busy with

their farm tasks, ignoring utterly that

Sunday, according to all the sacred

traditions of Christian America, is

supposed to be quite different from

the other six days of the week. Now

I knew that these ‘farmers weren’t

Seventh Day Adventists. If__they had

observed Saturday as their Sabbath,

certainly I would not have been con-

cerned if they spent Sunday busily

employed with farm tasks.



Other groups and classes that have

achieved marked improvement in

their condition during recent- years

have not done so by working longer

hours or more days a. week. On the

contrary, the reverse seems to have

been the rule. Those classes that

have made the most notable progress

now have shorter hours and more holi—

days than ever before.



Chaining ourselves to a perpetual

treadmill existence of mere production

will aggravate, rather than solve, the

problems of agriculture and rural life.



But when I said that the sight of





Sunday filled me with regret and ap-

prehension, I was not thinking so

much about this rather selfish View of

the situation. I was more concerned

regarding its moral and spiritual con-

sequences.



,Tennyson proclaimed a profound

and eternal truth when he wrote,

“On God and Godlike men we build.”

If the American farm- home forgets

God'and violates His commandments,

it cannot be expected to maintain its





*proud position as the fountain-head





of our Nation’s citizenship. History

reveals that any nation that has al-

lowed the standards of its farm home

to deteriorate, has inevitably degen-

erated and taken the toboggan route

downward toward decay and disinte-

gration.





We cannot crowd the Creator out

of His universe merely by ignoring

Him. Although “the rain falls on the

just and 011 the unjust” and grain

planted on Sunday will probably

thrive as well as that drilled on Mon-

day, the farmer who fails to recog-

nize and thrill at his dependence upon

his Divine co-partner is destined to

live a. mean, narrow, and unsatisfying

life. -



Personally, I wish to testify that

when I miss church and Sunday

school, my week seems s’ubnormal

and below par. During the busy week

days my attention becomes engrossed

in a multitude of petty problems and

distracting worries. Were I to brood

on these disconcerting things day in

and day out, my life wouldn’t be

worth two cents to myself or anyone

else.

church and Sunday school, ‘my

thoughts rise above the smoke and

dust of these tlivial and transitory de-

tails and the elements of life once

more assume a more worthwhile and

wholesome perspective.



" Do the Frills Pay?



We are more than ordinarily pleased

with the way in which we put in a

field of barley seeded to alfalfa. In

fitting this field we used a. double





‘ disc, 8. spring tooth barrow and a.





special spring tooth barrow with knife-

like wings or blades attached to each

tooth. For want of a better name We

call this latter tool our _“thistle drag.”



It. is equally- well adapted to eradicat-

' ing other noxious weeds, but we are

most troubled with Canada thistle:





 





my neighbors working in the fields on.





‘As I join in the services of the ,





"mi tea is rec'd s





 





any,





or course, there were no,,young

thistles to beflsliced offwhen we fitted

the barley ground,”.but we used. this

tool the last time over the field bcl

fore drilling because it leaves the

ground in such a splendidly mellow

condition.



In addition to careful seed bed pre-

paration, here are some of *the other

factors which will cause us to look

toward this field with hopeful expec-

tancy:



We applied two ions of lime per

acre, secured certified barley from“ one

of Michigan’s best growers of, pure-

bred seed‘ grains and treated the bar-

ley with formaldehyde solution fol-

lowing directions carefully. As we





.hope to obtain an alfalfa seeding that





will make a permanent pasture, we

sowed genuine Grimm alfalfa seed.

guaranteed as to origin, purity, and

percentage of germination. This seed

was innoculated with the proper kind

of legume culture so that it will de-

velop nodules and thus be able to util-

ize the atmospheric nitrogen. Just

ahead of the drill we went over the

field with a. wagon and removed the

stones.



We trust that before you read ibis

we shall have given this field another

treatment—this time with the culti-

packer, which will be helpful to pul-

verize every lump and unlock the im-

prisoned plant food of every clod so

that it will be readily available to, the

tiny barley and alfalfa rootlets.



I wish that my faith might be in-

creased that all of these extra frills

would pay encouraging dividends. But

the Master Farmers do all these

things and thrive, so they must be

profitable in practice, as well as prop-

er in theory.

Increase Your Potato Yield





15 to 25 Bushels per Acre

with This Instantaneous Dip





 





Treat your seed potatoes as fast as you can scoop them up.

Just dip them in DIPDUST solution and out agaln—a'll ready

to plant. ‘



DIPDUST protects the seed and insures a heavy, profitable

yield. It is much more effective than the old-fashioned “two-

hour soak” treatment—besides there is not the .slightest dan-

ger‘of injuring the sprouts or even cut seed.



After one trial of DIPDUST you will never again waste

two hours treating seed potatoes or spend two weeks worry-

ing about your stand. Compare this New Treatment with

the older ones: .





THE NEW WAY THE OLD WAY ,





Dipdust Organic

Mercury Disinfectant





Formaldehyde or

Corrosive Sublimate





1. Requires less than 1 minute. One

man can «asin treat from 200 to

400 bushels of potatoes per day.

2. Can be used on cut or sprouted

seed without the slightest injury.

3. After cutting, protects the cut

surfaces from seed—rotting organ-

isms in the soil. This insures a bet«

ter stand of stronger plants.



4. Controls surface-borne diseases,

such as Rhizoctonia, scab and

black-leg.



5. Improves the stand and growth 5. Frequently decrease the stand,

of the plants, and thus increases and therefore the yield, to a serious

the yield 10 to 20%. extent.





75 bushels per day.



2. Can not be ‘used on cut or

sprouted seed without injury.



3. Before cutting, give no protec-

tion to the cut surfaces. The seed

frequently decays in the ground

before the young plants get started.

4. Although effective against Rhiz-

octonia and scab, do not control

black~leg‘.





 





GUARANTEE One pound treat: 15 to 20 bushels of seed potatoes.





Plant a few acres of

DIPDUST treated

seed in alternate rows

with untreated seed.

If, at digging time.

you are not satisfied,

rot-urn the empty

and we will refund

Treat your Corn and Vegetable Seeds too





You can now also disinfect your seed corn and

vegetable seeds with DIPDUST and increase your

yield by preventing many of the diseases which

cause poor germination, weak, spindly plants, and

poor quality crop. Simply use as a dust treatment.

It is easily and quickly applied and costs but a few

cents per acre. One pound of DIPDUST will treat

six bushels of seed corn, or from six to eight bushels

of vegetable seed.

dose w’henearly one morning Bo ,



Vic, and Ted,

.' " breakfast to the camp, approach-

ed the tents which sheltered the girls.

There was not even a solitary pedes-

trian upon the walks which soon

would be so thickly populated. Blithe-

flly the boys swung along, Ted, now al-

most recovered from his injury, in

the lead. , Suddenly as they approach-

ed a tent, they heard the pleading

voice of argirl. "Go away, please,”

the voice come to them, “you have no

business here.” A gruff laugh and

then the voice of Katie O’Neal, clear

and cold as ice. “Get out of this tent

at onCe,” Katie was saying, “or I’ll

call the police.”



“Aw, cutie, give us a kiss!” The

voice was that of Red, and with a

bound Bob Barton tore through the

tent opening, his mates at his heels,

just as a scream rang on the air.

Katie O’Neal, fighting with the fury



, of a wildcat, was in Red’s arms, while

another burly lad held close the girl

wh0se voice they had first heard. A

third young ruffian, on guard at the

opening, had been thrust aside by

Bob’s charge.



Smash! Bob’s blow landed full on

Red’s evil grinning mouth. As her

assailant staggered, Katie tore loose

from his grasp. Smash! Bob drove

home another blow before Red, head

down, rushed with a bellow of rage.

In one corner of the tent Vic Slade

and the ruflian who had attacked

Kate’s friend were at it hammer and

tongs. The third intruder had bolted,

limping Ted hot on his heels. Scream

after scream rent the air as the com-

batants fought. “Hush,” cried Kate.

“Hush! No danger now.” Holding

her friend close as she soothed her,

Kate O’Neal for a moment went back

into the days when her wild Irish fore-

bears fought for the honor of women

and the joy of victory. Eyes ashine,

white teeth clenched into a lip that

bled, Kate watched the gallant stand

of her champion against a man pounds

heavier, years older, who had won

gang leadership through conquest.

Slade’s opponent, too, had taken flight.

“Hey, Red, police!” he had yelled as

Vic pursued. But in the tent the two

still fought, Bob in grim silence, Red

inouthing profanity through battered

IDS.



A babel of voices outside, the com—

mand of an officer. Into the tent

rushed two men in uniform just as

Bob, with one final crashing blow,

stretched his opponent on the

ground. Prone and still lay Bob’s

enemy, and as Bob stood panting

above him a stalwart policeman

slapped his back. “Begorra,” cried

Officer Hennesy, “’twas a clane

knockout. Some broth of boy you

are, clanin’ that young roughneck

that’s twenty pounds heavier. Get up

from there, you ornery divil!” Yank—

ing the still dazed Red to his feet,



'the officer rejoined their companions

who held fast Red’s pals. Outside Bob

could hear the eloquent Ted inform-

ing the curious just what had hap~

pened and why. 5



With blood dripping from. a nose

which rapidly was assuming twice its

normal size, one eye closed and cloth-

ing 'half torn from his back, Bob Bar-

ton lacked much of the appearance of

a gallant knight. But a soft hand

reached Up, a dainty handkerchief

stanched the flow of blood, and Katie

O’Neal was uttering words of thanks.

Bob took her hands and smiled down

with a twisted grin. Kate’s friend

came up to thank Vic and Ted who

had come in. Perhaps it was a time

for pretty speeches, but Ted Baldwin

voiced the sentiment of the several

club boys who had gathered when he

said, “Forget it, girls, forget it. We’d

been longin’ to take a punch at those

birds all week.” In the heart of a

girl, however, there ever would be en-

shrined the picture of one none the



, less knight because he wore modern

Mother 0’ Mine





By J ames' Edward Hunger-ford





There’s an old-fashioned house



At the end of a lane, -'



That has always seemed Heaven to

me; >



For an old lady lives there,



Just simple and plain—



An angel, if ever there be!



Her eyes are pure well-springs



Of sweetness and love—-



The sun it just shines in her smile!



And I know the Lord sent her



From up there above,



To brighten this world for a while!





3? Her sweet face is crowned

With a halo of white—

Her robe is a calico dress;





And she goes about singing,



From morning ’till night—



Her voice like a soothing caress;

And there isn’t a queen



In this world anywhere,



Can look any finer than she,

When “Ma” sits on her “throne”—

Just an old rocking-chair,



And smiles at her worshiper—me!





There are folks who think Heaven



ls same far-off plaoe— .-



Thcy’re hoping they’ll find it some.

Where; '



But I’m right here tosay,



If they’d glimpse mother’s face—-



They'd think she was already there!





 





 





black eye and the swollen nose. _ Ad-

miring’ small boys followed him, sim-

poring town girls came to the camp

inquiring for the “young hero.” Bob

kept aloof from the crowd and prayed

that the week would soon end. When

the final day arrived, though, and

with it the banquet tendered club

members, he was at the Brown County

table. True to Miss Edwards’ predic-

tion, the style show award had been

deferred. Five county champions

were up for final judgment, among

them Kate O’Neal.





The big room was jammed to the

doors with happy diners. Using a big

spoon as a baton, Miss Edwards led

the audience in stirring club songs.

Champions of the respective classes

were hailed with cheers and yells of





their partisans, and when. Bob Barton





‘ stood in response to the call of his

name the cheering was prolonged for

minutes. State Leader Morton smiled

at Miss Cowan, his assistant. “Fights

caught the words and grinned in re—

sponse. Good old dad! He’d be proud

of his son. Apart in one group the

girl ‘from King County stepped dainti-

ly down the aisle. The final contest

was on. Two others followed in quick

succession, the 'audience warming in

its applause With each succeeding

contestant. Now came the fourth and

Brown County rose en masse to shout

its greeting and admiration.

“Hold on, Mr. Austin,” began Bob

“I’ll have to speak 'to

our county agent about that- I’d

promised ito pot 'Stony’ in our Brown

County pig club sale.” ’ _ /



“look . him up," came back the

breeder impatiently. ‘fl’ve got to get

away. He won’t turn you down on

a sale like this.” . . .



With Vic and Ted at his heels Bob

set off. Think of it! More than

double the amount he owed for his

sow, half: the rental of the farm for

one pig. Soon Ross Burton was in

possession of the, facts, and his keen

‘eyessearched Bob’s face as the, story

was told.





“Yes,” said Burton slowly, “I can

release you, but there’s ‘another side

to the story. Do you realize that the

simple fact a state. champion is in-

cluded in the sale offering may mean

dollars to every. other club member

who offers stock? Undoubtedly it

will bring breeders who never would

come otherwise. * Nevertheless, I doubt

if your pig will bring as much as Aus-

tin has offered you for it will be past

the fair season.and he wants ‘Stony’

for his show herd right now. Bob,

I’ll just put it, up to you. Do what

you think is best and right.”



For a moment Bob Barton pon-

dered. Here wasa golden opportunity

which might never cOme again. There

was the constant menace of loss to

With a smile illuminating her-

fiiqudant face Miss Cowan held up'her

an .





“I have the great honor,” announced

Miss C'owan, “of presenting the unani—

mous choice of the judges as state

style show champion—MiSS Katherine

O’Neal."





With a leap which almost upset the

table, Ross Burton was on his feet.

Up sprang BrOWn County followers to

follow his leadership in a cheer which

shook the room. Then as the tumult

of cheering died and Katie O'Neal,

with. face flushed and eyes downcast,

bowed her thanks to the; judges, Miss-

_ song, “Brown

County ever.”

those farm'boys and girls, theirhearts

in their voices. Bob Barton, athrill

as never before with a hard-won vic-

tory of his own, felt deep within him

a response that welded his very soul

to those about him. Here was com-

radeship. Here in this room was the

flower of, future citizenship represent-

ing a great .state, a citizenship which

Could “win without boasting, lose

without squealing.” Even now the‘

losers were embracing their winning

friend, showering her With congratu-

lations. What a great week so fitting-

ly ended. What wonderful thing the

work of the four-leaf clover brigade

was. How great future possibilities.-



While the boys from Brown County

were preparing to load their pigs for

the return home, Bob Barton was ap-

proached by a bluff veteran of the

show ring whom .he had seen about





But if, as Burtonhad said, sale now

might rmean» loss to his friends, was

it a fair and honorable thing to ,do?

Wasn’t loyalty one of the cardinal

principles of 4-H Club work? Up

came Bob’s head, and he looked Bur-

ton in the face. “It wouldn’t be fair,

sir,” Bob said, “if I should sell now.

‘Stony’ goes back to Brown County.”





Ross Burton’s hand flashed out in

a grip which made Bob flinch. “Old

man,” said the'agent, “I’m proud of

you. That’s exactly what I thought

you’d say. We’ll do our best to get

you a fair price, too.”



As Bob Barton hurried back to the

waiting breeder, Vic and Ted lingered

for a moment’s conversation. “All

wool and a_ yard wide,” announced

Ted emphatically. “That’s the kind of ‘

guy you can tie to. But I wonder how

Disappointed, but notdisposed to»

criticize when .Bob explained the mat-

ter, Austin tore up his check. “You

have a, fine sense of honor, young

man,” he remarked. “Not many of us

older breeders, I fear, would refuse a

sale. If nothing happens I’ll come to

Brown County“ when your sale .is‘held.

They ’must ”breed champions other

than swine there, too.”



‘Homeward rumbled the big truck,

and as they traveled the boys again

sang, “We’re forever boosting club

work”. But the picture which lin-

gered with Bob Barton was not the

glory of his .own achievements, the

happy days of the week, but of Kate

O’Neal modestly acknowledging her

‘Make the Most Of Your Closets





How to Have a Place For E verytémg and E oerytfimg m It: Place

By Edna V. Smith





Home Management Specialist M. S. C.





PRING, with its fever for clean-



ing and renovating, brings back



to mind the old, old saying “a

place for everything and everything

in its place.” One begins to wonder

how more storage space may be pro

vided. Or, if closets are cluttered and

small, how can order and system be

brought out of disorder and chaos.





In most homes the more closets and

cupboards that can be provided, the

happier becomes the housewife. Be-

sides the usual storage space in the

kitchen which provides for supplies

and utensils there are throughout the





 





 





Just Girls





 





 





room where laundry work is done. It

may be high enough to have a shelf

at the top for the soap, bluing, starch,

and stain removers, with space below

for baskets, wash boards, and iron-

ing boards if this is not built in a

separate place. -





A linen closet is one of the most

important store rooms in the home

and should be located in a part of the

house where it will be most acces-

sible. It should be planned with the

idea of classifying and organizing the

different sizes of sheets, pillow cases,

towels, spreads, and any other house-

hold linen. Sometimes the extra bed-

ding is also stored in the linen closet.





When this is done, wider and deeper-





shelves are necessary. The shelves

with drop fronts are desirable as linen

is very heavy to handle in a drawer

and the drop front extends the, shelf

which may be‘ an aid in sorting the

linen. Sliding trays are sometimes

used for the linen} They are made by

simply having the drawers shallow

and cutting away part of the front.



Clothes closets should be arranged

in every bed room of the house and

a closet for outside wraps is very

desirable ’in both the front and back

of the house. The most important





."things in connection with clothes clo-





sets are to have easy access to every





garment, good light, and the possig





bility of airing. Clothes closets should





' medicine chest.





In every home there is usually some



place for the medical and surgical sup-

plies and this is commonly termed the

This should be a

shallow closet with narrow shelves so

all bottles will be in single rows, each

plainly labeled. All poisons Should be

kept on a shelf by themselves. It is

also a good idea to either have a. dif-

ferent shaped bottle or a different

kind of stopper so they will be recog:

nized in the dark. The medicine clo-

set is usually placed in the bath room

although this is not necessary if there

is a more convenient place.

‘ Besides these closets listed there

are always odds and ends of storage

spaces around the house that can be

utilized to good advantage. Sometimes

it is a bit of space around the chim~

ney, a set of drawers under the stairs,

or a window seat. If the 'window seat

is on the second floor, it .could be

lined with cedar and make a possible

storage space for wool blankets.





One seldom has too much sterage. ,





space or too many closets. The main

thing is to use every nook and corner

to the best advantage:

be sufficiently wide to take a coat

hanger without the clothes touching

the walls, but, on the other hand, it

is not.well to build them too deep.

A closet two feet deep and three or

four feet long will hold many gar-

ments if it is correctly arranged. A

horizontal bar rimming lengthwise is

economical of space and makes a very

good way to hang one’s clothes.

Sliding rods can be used for the

small “hole-in- -the-wa11” closet. These

rods can be pulled out of the ‘closet

into the room. They are especially,

good for the closets under stairways.

The wardrobe closet 'is being util-'

ized much in the modern home be

cause of its compactness. These can

be planned along the lines of a. ward-

robe trunk. It can be divided verti-

cally into, two equal spaces, each pro-

tected with solidpanel doors. Have

the compartment on one side‘ suffi-

ciently wide to allow for a. coat hang-

er. In the other compartment might





be 31. tier of drawers with a. shelf or- .





two below for shoes and at the top

two small closed doors to use for bats.



Shoebags made of colorful chintz

to fit the dimension of the door may

be used. Shelves for hats and shoes

can be respectively above and below

REMOVING PRINTING FROM

FLOUR SACKS





 





D 0 not use kerosene or other oil to



remove the printing from flour

sacks, is the advice of the companies

who feature the usefulness of the

cloth bags in which their products are

sold. First, wash out the sacks in

soap and hot Water, rubbing the ~print-

ed surface on a scrubbing board. Rinse





and then boil the sacks in strong suds:





for half an hour. Rinse and ring out.

If trues of ink still remain ’

~ 'teaspoonful

polish, and one tablespoonful each of '





 





rinsing, hang in the air for thirty min-

utes. Then rinse thoroughly to remove

all traces of Javelle water. Javelle

water can be ”made by boiling two

tablespoons of sal soda in a quart of

water for ten minutes and then add-

ing , two tablespoons, of chloride" of

lime. Strain the solution before dip-

ping the sacks’ into it. ’





MAKE YOUR OWN DUSTLESS

DUSTERS





 





DUSTLESS clusters are designed

to collect dust and remove it,

rather than to brush it off one piece of

furniture only to scatter it in the air

or distribute it in other parts of the

room. Dustless dusters may be pur-

chased in various shapes, sizes, and

materials, or they may be made easily

at home. (Cheesecloth, velveteen, or

cotton flannel are all good materials

to use in making them, and a ten-

inch square is a good size.

To make such a duster, put one

of any good furniture





kerosene and paraffin oil in a quart

fruit jar. Shake the jar until the in-





side of it is thoroughly coated with »





the contents and then turn it on a

saucer for the surplus liquid to' drain.

Put thesqhare of cloth in the jar,

cover 'lt, and let it stand several days

until the fabric» has thoroughly ab-

sorbed. the oily substance that was

coated on the inside of the jar. A

duster made this way both cleans and

polishes. When it has been used until

it no longer retains the dust it should

be washed, dried, and given the same

treatment again.

One night I attended a mass meet-

gelist had been hoiding meetings, and

that night a procession 'of workers

.had‘ paraded through the mean streets

of Boston’s poor .and fallen, and had

gathered in a host of the morally halt,

blind, deaf, dumb, leprous, and par-

alyzed. For some reason the evan-

gelist himself was not present when

the meeting opened in Tremont‘ Tem-

ple. -, Another speaker tried to hold

the crowd. He. shouted, waved his

arms in the most'approved oratorical

manner, told stories of the fallen, re-

claimed. ;. But few 'were interested.

The meeting wasgoing lamely. Pre-

sentlYJhe evangelist appeared, and

everythin' changed. He spoke a few

simple ords, and the assembly

sailed out on calmer and deeper seas.

Moral authority.





This quality was manifest in Jesus

in the highest'degree of any character

known to History. To this day, mil-

lions worship Him, would die for Him,

yet He never had any authority but

the spoken word which came from

His own wonderful Self. His teach-

ing was calm,_ He talked in conver-

sational» tones most of the time, if

we read, .the New Testament aright.

People thronged Him, not beCause He

came from a great university where

He' was a professor, not because He

held high political office, or had a

because He {was what He was. John

life was 'His‘.rauth01'ity. ' <

worse, he believes I stole it. -A

nice kind of a partner to have on



a. motorcycle trip across Africa!

And that’s what we both think, too.

This story really began six years

ago .in the Canadian National Park

when I had inveigled a girl from





JIM’S banjo is missing—what is





00 ‘Medicine Hat into going to the movies





with me. The plot developed rapidly

that same evening when my partner

Jim, curly-headed imp of impulse that

he is, stole our car and made the

young lady and myself walk home.

(At least, I think he stole it.) And

now, like the candy wheel at the

county fair, where the story will stop,

nobody knows.





Nothing remarkable of eo'ui‘se that

I had a date—six years ago, before I

was married. Nor that every girl in

the crowd, one by one, had highhatted

my partner Jim, for there is a. dif-

ference between him and me. For

instance, I’ve been married for three

years and he’s not even been engaged

that long—at least not to the same

girl. There’s a. difference somewhere

~both of us agree on that.



Can’t you see poor Jim skulking

alone in his tent that night cursing

the Canadian maidens who had turned

him down and brooding over the fact





 





 





 





that he’d been born with more of a

way with machinery than with the

maidens. At any rate, when my girl

and I came out of the motion picture

theater that evening our old jitney,

the original Oscar II, had been stolen,

and we had a long, long walk home.



The Royal Canadian Mounted Po,-

lice turned out the whole force, on

motorcycles, horseback, and in autos,

to find the missing Oscar, but' I’ll al-

ways believe Jim stole it. He in-

sists that a man would be a fool to

steal his own car. Another case where

we agree!



And now Jim believes I stole his

banjo!





T’S stolen, and I’m glad of it but



a man would be a fool to steal a.



banjo when he an’t play it,

wouldn’t he? And a blgger fool if he

could. I’m glad it’s gone. I’m even

glad Jim thinks I stole it for he thus

gives me credit for a revenge that is

six years old. I have all the satisfac-

tion of actually having stolen it and

yet he can’t be angry with me be-

cause he is-n’t certain that I’m guilty.

If I admit I did not steal it I lose the

credit and satisfaction. If I admit I

did he would be as mad as a hatter

himself.



Since‘-Jim will read this when it’s

published I can’t say here whether I

stole his ban‘o or not. I’ll simply

state what ac ually happened and-you

may draw your own conclusions.

From the evidence there’s no cause

to suspect me except that it would

be the logical thing for me to do for

any number of good reasons. .



One cannot carry all- the comforts

of home when trekking across equa-

torial-Africa on a. motorcycle and so





. why try to crowd in some of the dis- ,





comforts as well?



We had trimmed down our com-

plement of clothing until the only

way we could change clothes was to

change with each'other. And this for

a four months’ trip through the black

heart of Africa. itself! Despite all the.

warnings against blaCk scorpions,

White ants, ticks, sand flies, snakes,

and malarial chills we gave up the

comfort of our light folding bed and

slept on the ground for months in

order to lighten our load—by less

than the weight of the banjo. After

been tempted to steal it your-

We were so loaded down With lug—

Kano, with 3,000 miles more to go,

we’d already bent one side car chas-

sis and broken three side car springs,

to say nothing of a rear axle, a part.

of the main frame, a bundle carrier,

six spokes, and a record for' slow

traveling. We were nearly broke our-

selves from paying repair bills. But

on top of all our mass of luggage rode

the inevitable big banjo in its huge

leather case. There it perched with

a. perfectly insufferable air of smug

conceit as if to challenge, “Just try

and get rid of me.”

We were also carrying a small

folding banjo that someone had given

Jim. (I was glad it wasn’t a bass





drum or a piano for he would have





-:£. 1......“ "*2 .4— -





 





Jim Traded One Banjo‘to a Hausa Trader for a Homespun Tablecloth.





\carried it just the same.) I sug-





gested that we‘ship the big banjo





.around to the east coast of Africa to





wait for us there and, big hearted,

recommended carrying the small one

with us. But Jim insisted that while

the little one was all right to fold up

it ‘was no good to play. His solution

was to sell it to a Hausa trader, one

of those black Sharpers of northern

Nigeria who know more about shrewd

bargaining and sharp trading than the

eleven tribes of Israel, if there were

that many.



That same afternoon one of these

whiskered Hausamen, black and

smooth as a barrel of crude oil, ap

peared on our east house porch in

Kano. He squatted on the white cal-

loused soles of his bare feet amid his

collection of leather pillows, bright

native baskets, and‘ other clever crea-

tions in brass and grass, and Jim be-

gan his banjo palaver.





“Change-change for one clothif

countered the black Hausa slicker

when Jim/ suggested that he buy the

toy banjo. “You give six shilly me.”



“Your brother he try sell me same

cloth one time six shillings,” I pro-

tested, knowing there was a nigger

in the woodpile as well as the porch.

As a. matter of fact he hadn’t, but

since these Machiavellian tricksters

pretend to no honesty themselves

they naturally believe no one else.

So I’d really not been guilty of any

deception Whatever.





FTER indulging him in his favor-

ite sport of bargaining for half

an hour we finally gave the small



banjo and one shilling to the Hausa

trader for a piece of native cloth that

had probably come from Manchester.

He saw the big banjo and wanted it

for another shilling, but Jim laughed

at him.



“You draw me paper for banjo,” de-

manded the trader after the deal was

made. “Paper he say police me no

steal banjo.”



Without this guarantee of title the

banjo would, probably be considered

by the police as stolen roperty, and

so Jim wrote the follow g memoran-

dum on a sheet of notebook paper





 





and handed it to the Houseman “I

dark Winter time; now the chickens

In the

babies, it prevents the rickets; in the





down on the job of- laying eggs.

This, is no dream. Eugene Lowrey,

with his chicken flock of 250 White

Leghorns on a farm three miles west

of Stanton, Montcalm County, has

proved it. He feeds cod liver oil as

a. regular ration, in the proportion of

one quart per week to every lomhens.

Even as early as February first, he

was getting 125 eggs a day; and he"

has found a. good market through the

parcel post in “Detroit—at first

tMOugh friends who took back a

crate of day-old eggs, and then told

their neighbor‘s, until now his market

has grown to satisfactory proportions.



This is the routine:



5 A. M.-——6 quarts of wheat.



6:30—Ration' of 21/2 quarts of butter-

milk. Green cabbage or kale.



8:30—4 quarts of sunflower seed.

11:00—Wet mash, consisting of equal

parts of rolled oats, bran, meat scraps,

moistened with buttermilk, and mixed

with the daily ration of cod liver oil.



1:30 P. M—Buttermilk. Chopped

mangel (a. kind of beet).



5:30—0ne peck of shelled corn.





There is dry mash in the hopper all

thé time, plenty of dry wheat-straw

litter, and fresh water daily. If the

temperature gets as low as 'thirty-

three degrees, a fire is put in the hen-

house stove, and allowed to bring up

the heat only as high as forty degrees.





Mr. Lowrey, who has long been ac—

counted as one of the most successful

and enterprising farmers in the town-

ships about,Stanton, has sold all but

forty acres-of his big farm, and gone

into intensive chicken farming. He

says that if he had it to do over again,

he would rather raise hens than cattle

or hogs, both for profit and pleasure.

BABY CHICK SHORTAGE

PROBABLE





PPARENTLY hatcherymen started



out with heavy batches in the

early part of the year. The market

was flooded, surpluses began to devel~

op and hatcherymen began to get

panicky. Many were very badly dis-

couraged over their showing for the

first three months of the year and cut

their settings down fifty per cent or

more in order to avoid further over-

production.



The chick buyer, however, remem-

bered that he probably tried to raise

too many broilers the previous year.

He also remembered that in the latter

part of the - season, chick, prices

dropped materially. The‘natural con-

sequence was ‘that in 1928 chick buy-

ers refused to“ send in early orders

foi" chicks. The great majority of

them were waiting until April and

later to put in their orders because

by that time the weather would be

settled, possibilities of loss smaller

and poultry prospects better stabil-

ized. ,'



Now, however, poultry raisers all

through the country are coming in

with demands for chicks, and in many

places an actual shortage exists. Of

course, hatcherymen can respond to

this condition to a certain degree and

increase their production but the

chances are that serious shortages

will develop. We "would advise any-





get their order in'just as soon as pos-





uf course”, it goereases somewhat .as

The Meaning of Mother ‘





Some Merry Circle Sentiments A





of the valley of death to give me



the life I hold so dear—who is



she? She’s my Mother. She’s

nily best friend, my everything and my

a .



There is no other who can instill in

my heart a sincere desire to rise and

become the person, loved and re-

spected, she expects me to become.



At whose side do I kneel at evening

and pour forth the trials, joys, and

sorrows of the day? _ ‘



When darkness falls and I am far

away, I halt in my homeward course

and ask myself, “Why should I go

home? What is there fore me?”





S HE who labored in the shadows





“Mother’s there,” my heart answers

unhesitatingly and my feet take up

the words.





Oh, that I might probe the mystery





 





 





 





 





A Michigan Mother and ‘Her Family.





that clothes Mother Love and keeps

it secure from curiosity seekers!



Mother gave me life and moulded

my life thus far—now she gives me

her, tools and says I must finish the

work.



She asks no price for her work and

her smile causes me to scorn the taw-

driness of gold. There is but one path

to follow, so with God helping me,

I’ll be what she wants me to be.—

The Wanderer.





 





Death took our dear Mother when

I was two years, and my brother only

three weeks old. It was very sad.

Little brother Jack was given to

mother’s parehts to be cared for, and

Dad and I went to live with his folks.

For a year it was that. Then Mother

came to us.



She was a younger sister of our

own Mother—age, ixteen—and she

gave up a‘ great deal for us. One

more year would have seen her

through high school, but she quit, for

our sake—so that the family could be

united. Her career was ruined—(she

had planned to become a teacher)——~

just so that Jack and I could spend

our childhood together. Is it any

wonder that we appreciate her?





Ten long years have slipped happily

by since Mother came to us. In the

meantime, she has given us a very

sweet little sister, who is now six

years old, and a. darling baby brother,

Who came last May. ,





Mother is leaving nothing undone.

She is giving us the best of training,





~ and helping us to grow up to be good





citizens. Her patience is unexau‘st-

ible; her cheer and kindness are con-_

tagious, and the hearts that love her

are warmed by her very presence.

With Dad’s cooperation, she is mak-

ing a great success of the unselfish

task that she has undertaken.



During the time that is to.come, her





great love will always guide me on





the path I am destined to follow. ‘I

shall ever be thankful to God for the

wonderful Mother He has given me to

love and

Mother? Only those feel the empti—

ness and her absence that have lost

their Mothers. It seems haunted and

lonely—at times makes you frightened

and your innermost desires are to go

away—farto forget. '



As each year. has worn on I have

more deliberately considered my great

loss. But with thehelp of a. stronger

power I have done 111 best to go

straight along the roug and tedious

path, to some day join her and share

her- eternal happiness—Martha. EL

Kolhmainen.





The thought of Mother p‘resents to-

my mind a. picture which has, from

my early childhood, proved a. source-

of inspiration. 4



A young Mother is reclining in a.

large chair. In her arms is. a. tiny in-

fant, its innocent features relaxed in

peaceful slumber. Kneeling beside the

chair is a little child gazing worship-

Fully into the smiling features of the

Mother, it‘s lips parted, as, if to speak,

but 'its emotions are expressed . only

by the calm radiance of its smile.

Below the picture is printed in small

letter, the harmonizing adage, “What

is Home Without a. Mother?”





My home would not be the cheerful

place it is if my Mother was absent

I find ithard to express

What she really means to me. ' She-

is the only companion I have ever-

had who has remained loyalgto me

at all times. She has sought for the

best in me, and has overlooked my

faults; she has encouraged me on

through darkness, invigorating my

broken spirits .by her unfalterin'g trust

in me and ‘doing exactly the things

that God made Mothers for. '





I cannot estimate her value, for it

is an ever increasing power, which

shall reach no limit as long as life

remains.





My greatest success is but a minor

tribute to her whose life, to me, has

been an inspiration; whose memory a.

benediction—Zola Marsh.

Dear Uncle Frank:



May I drift dreamily into your

column and spend a few moments in

blissful reverie? For, Uncle Frank, I

am a dreamer. I love the quiet hours

of solitude in which I can commune

with Dame Nature and think without

disturbance; when I can feel the deep

passion of the whistling winds, and

the peaceful stillness of the flowing

brook. And I love the country, a

place for dreamers. As long as I can

wander to the deep depths of the for-

est, along the grassy shores of the

murmurlng brook, on the highest hills,

and in beautiful valleys where daisies

grow; as long as I can know the joy

of country life, I will be happy. _



What do I care for worldy things?

Trouble, sorrow, and sin. Why] look

for these when a better future is in

store? Why not fill our hearts with

passionate desires and heart-rending

melodies? For a dreamer’s life is the

happiest life and the dreams of youth

And a dreamer can, in

the end, make his life the real life

and something to be remembered in

the hearts of his fellowmen forever.



Now, Uncle Frank. my dreams are

HIS disease is common in chicks from two weeks to four months of





age.





Although it attacks older chickens and other domestic and wild





fowls, it rarely causes great losses except in cases of chicks. between





the above ages.





The disease is caused by a protizoan parasite which especially attacks

the mucous. membranes of the ceca, or blind pouches of the intestines.

Healthy birds contract the disease by eating food or drinking water con-

Adult birds sometimes carry the para-

Symptoms—The common indications are listlessness, paleness, ruffled

The appetite is generally poor

HOW A SHIAwASSEE FARMER DE-

HoRNs CATTLE.





 





AFTER reading - Stanley Powell’s

letter in the last issue of the

Michigan Farmer, I would like to state

some of my experiences in dehorning

cattle, extending over a period of

twenty years.



Have had the job done with various

kinds of saws, and with clippers

in various ways, and

have used the caustic on the calves.

We have a man in the neighbor-

hood Who does this kind of work in

a manner that suits me the best of

anyone I can get and he proceeds as

follows: ‘ -.



The animal is secured in a specially





 





 





On This Farm the Dairy Enslness Has

the Cooperation of the Whole Family





built portable stall so the head cannot

be moVed and 'the animal cannot in-

jure itself in any way. .



He uses a saw like a large butcher’s

saw, cutting about one-half inch of the

hair, and with a circular cut, running

deeper in the middle.



There are only two veins in, or

near, the rims of each horn, and these

are tied with a horsehair about three

inches long, after the horn has been

removed.



The last job here consisted of six-

teen head, and of the thirty-two

wounds, only one superated.‘ A bull,

two years old, was among the lot and

when his head had healed, there was

simply a soar about one-half inch wide

and three inches long, where each

horn had been.





No home ever reappear when the

job is done in this way, and it. can be

done any time after the horns are

onehalf inch long. Many times not

enough blood is lost to soil the hair

on-the side of ,the head. No horn is

ever crushed as is sometimes the case

with clippers and I am convinced

from observation that the operation is

not followed by pain as is the case

when caustic is used. I believe the

removal of the horns a humane prac-





done in the most humane way poe»

HE Michigan A s s ociation of



Creamery Owners and Managers

meeting at the Dairy Building/Mich-

igan State College, April" 24, con-

firmed the setting aside of the sum

of $100‘as an award fer the cowtest-

ers’v contest among the'Michigan test-

ers working on dairy herd improve-

ment associations. " This is the fifth

year that this award is being made.



The purpose is to stimulate the

Michigan testers in drawing up a story

of their findings and a listing of re-,

suits and accomplishments during the

year.



The _award will be made during

Farmers’ Week at Michigan State Col-

lege in 1929.



Mr. K. L. McKinnon, secretary of

the Michigan Creamery Owners and

Managers Association, _stated that

they were wholeheartedly in -favor of

supporting the herd improvement

work and realized the value of the re

suits that Michigan cow? testers are

helping bring to dairy-farmers.

WHERE‘S JIWS BANJO?





 





 





 





on Farms Amazmg





 





the _shrewd Ahmed Gombo, armed as

he was with a. certificate of banjo

ownership probably stole the instru'

ment while we were gone. He would

keep it hidden until we left town and

then send it‘ down country, with the

signed bill .of sale, to be sold. A good

piece of business.



“It’s undoubtedly Ahmed” decided

Captain Rickard of the northern Ni—

geria police when Jim called him out

of bed to report the theft. “We’ll get

your blinkin’ banjo and push it along

to you at Khartoum.”



Jim’s theory is that I had previous-

ly connived with Captain Rickard be-

fore stealing the banjo'so that the

bristling British captain wouldn’t

throw the rest house watchman in

irons (for he was a good old blacker)

and all the Hausa traders into jail.

If I did I was at least more thoughtful

than Jim was six years ago when he

stole the car. That theft caused the

entire Royal Mounted force a. whole

night of activity and worry.





1TH one black boy slipping a



business-like service



Captain Rickard’s shoulders and

another pulling on his boots, the sput-

tering captain called in a native de-

tective- and spoke as excitedly and

rapidly as an Englishman can speak.

But he spoke in Hausa. I don’t know

—and neither does Jim—whether he

was ordering the arrest and immedi-

ate execution of Ahmed Gombo or

simply telling the detective to keep

goats off the compound grass.



And that is that. We haven’t

reached the Red Sea yet—and maybe

never shallmso we don’t know (or at

least Jim doesn’t) whether the cap-

tain found the culprit and the banjo

or not. Jim doesn’t know whether

his partner is a, thief, and I’m just

as much in the dark about mine. I

wish he would tell but he won’t—and

I wish I could tell you but I can’t.

The main thing is that we no longer

have the banjo out here in our strug-

gle with the sand and bush and the

Ioug dry reaches of desert waste on

the edge of the Sahara.



Jim will probably plan to get even

with me some way. He usually does.

But if he’s going to steal I only hope

he doesn’t take my gallon can of

drinking water. That’s the most pre-

cious thing we have out here in the

desert now. It’s usually warm and

the color of bad tea. We sometimes

have to scrape off the scum and settle

the dirt with alum and then boil it

before drinking but—well, I hope he

doesn’t steal my good old oil can of:

water out here in the desert. If he

gets even in some other way I’ll tell

you about it, but if he steals my

drinking water I’ll nevel live to tell

you. And neither will he.



Kano, the most interesting city I’ve

ever visited in my life will be de-

scribed next week.





FED LAMBS REACH $18.50





 





ED lamb prices reached a. new



high of $18.50 on the Chicago mar-



ket during the last week, with

shorn lambs up to $17.25 and choice

California spring lambs at $19.50. The

season has worked out much more

favorably than expected at the turn

of the year, as numbers available for

slaughter have been no larger than

in 1927, Whereas numbers on feed on

January 1 pointed to a substantial in-

Ciease. Tardy arrival of the Califor-

nia spring lamb 01 op helped to make

a strong price situation.





HOG MARKET HAS SETBACK





 





RECEIPTS of hogs mm eased gradu-

ually during the last three weeks



and eastern shipping orders on

midwestern markets fell off sharply

These changes finally turned prices

downward. At the high point of the

bulge, the Chicago t0p reached $10. 65

compared with $8.15 at the low point

last February, but it has dropped back

to $10 again.

WHEAT.





After advancing to a new high level

for the season and going more than

40 cents above the February low spot,

wheat prices broke over 15 cents in

the last week with a strong rally at

the close. Speculative buying, at-

tracted by reports of severe damage

to the new crop, made the market

highly unstable, hence the sharp re—

action when the dry area in the west

and southwest was partially relieved.



About- 26 per cent of the planted

acreage of winter wheat was aban-

doned, according to: unofficial esti-

mates, compared with o-n1y_ 8.4 per

cent a year ago and a ten-year aban-

donment of 10.5 per cent. The grow-

ing condition of the crop on May 1

was estimated at 75.4 per cent of nor-

mal compared with 85.6 last year and

a ten-year average of 85. A crop of

about 470 million bushels is indicated

compared with the forecast of 594

million bushels a year ago and the

final harvest of 552 million bushels in





1927.

RYE.





Unofficial forecasts of the new rye

crop show around 41 million bushels

compared with 59 million bushels har-

vested last year. Unfavorable reports

continue to come from Europe. The

small remaining visible supply and

the fact that much of it is already

sold for export will make the market

highly sensitive to reports of further

injury to the new crop.





OATS.





The cats market has had the bene-

fit of a very small visible supply to-

gether with delay in seeding the new

crop and poor stands reported on a

substantial part of the acreage already

planted. Prices advanced to a new

high level for the season early in the

last week but reacted sharply along

Farm stocks are

‘- bushels against 203 million last year -

" ,r and 325 million two years ago.

lon at the high point in March.

Stocks of corn on farms on May 1

are estimated unofficially at 590 mil-

110n bushels against 730 million a year

ago and 996 million two years ago.

W‘eather conditions have turned more

favorable and the large winter wheat

abandonment points to a substantial

increase in corn acreage.





SEEDS.





The early seed business for '1928

has been practically completed. Some

scattered plantings of both alfalfa and

clover seed are still being made, but

most growers had previously secured

these supplies. With the new crop

prospects so unsettled, many dealers

plan to hang on to any remaining

stocks, believing that unless growing

conditions improve radically, old seed

carried over will be excellent property

next fall. Demand for soybeans and

co-wpeas in southwestern markets is

increasing as belated growth 'of other

feed crops and loss of wintEr wheat

acreage in portions of the ‘area will

tend to increase the planting of these

later hay crops.





FEEDS.





Wheat feeds have moved sharply

higher in the past week as feed grains

advanced and demand for concen-

trates remained active. Dealers who

had allowed their stocks to run low

in anticipation of a dull demand as

pastures became available have been

forced to replenish their supplies.

Pastures in the central states are way

behind normal at this time of year but

rains in the past week have helped,

and if warm weather follows, further

improvement should be rapid. Cot-

tonseed, meal has continued to ad-

vance u-ntil prices are almost prohibi-

tive for feeders. Seed is scarce due

to the unusually heavy demand for

replanting, and many mills are shut-

ting down for the season.

J$42.50; gluten feed, $38.70; old pro-





cess oil meal, 34%, $52.25; tankage,

60%, $65; cottonseed meal, 43%, $65.





HAY.





Hay prices continue firmly held. Un-

seasonably cold wet weather has re-

tarded pastures and meadows and pro-

longed the feeding season .for hay.

Heavier feeding of hay in preference

to highpriced other feeds has reduced

the surplus on farms, and in some sec-

tion farmers are beginning to hold

hay pending the outlook for the com-

ing season. The new crop outlook to

date is not. very favorable and the

yield from the first cutting of both

alfalfa and clover will be below nor-





mal.

EGGS.





Competition among dealers for

fancy quality eggs packed for storage

has been one of the prominent fac-

tors in the advancing market during

the past week. Prices seem firmly

entrenched at the higher level and the

trade generally expects values to re-

main steady. Receipts at the leading

markets are about 20 per cent smaller

than at this time a year ago and re-

ports from practically every section

in the middlewest indicate. that no

great increase in collections is to be

expected. Due to the heavy move-

ment into storage during the latter

part of April, total accumulations at

the four markets during the month

were nearly’ 400,000 cases larger

than in the same month a year ago.

Stocks in the whole country on May

1 are believed to be considerably

smaller than on the same date in

1927. '

BUTTER.





.The receipts of butter at leading

distributing markets indicate that the

trend of production is definitely up-

ward. Reports on output show fair

gains from Week to week although the

season is later than usual. Due to the

backwardness of pastures, high prices

of feed, the pour condition of roads,

and so on, however, dealers do not .

expect more than a slow, steady in- -

crease in butter production until near

the end of May. The market reflects

the unsettled and nervous tone which

is usual at the beginning of a new

season, and prices will probably re-

spond 'quickly to the first evidence‘of

heavy production. The firm and

higher prices quoted for butter for

future delivery indicate that the trade

generally is optimistic over the mar-

ket prospects. It is believed that buy-

ing on speculative account will be ac‘

tive the early part of the butter year.



Price's on 92 score creamery were:

Chicago, 430; New York, 441/20; De-

troit, 42@44c per lb. for 88@90 score.-





POTATOES.





The old potato market has held

fairly steady during the past week al-

though suppliesare liberal and trad-

ing is generally light. Farmers are

not hauling many potatoes, to ship-

ping points as they are busy with

other work, so that most of the stock

moving at present is out of ware-

houses. Frost. and excessive rains

damaged the early potato crop again

last week, which means that the sea-

son ‘for marketing old stock will be

prolonged even further. Shipments of

the new crop are beginning to in-

crease and prices dropped sharply last

week in every- market. Potato plants

in southern Missouri and Kansas suf-

fered some from ,recent frosts, but per-

manent damage probably is not ex-

tensive. Some planting has been done

as far north as Wisconsin. Northern

round whites, U. S. No. 1, are quoted

at $1.70 to $1.85 per 100 pounds,

sacked, in the Chicago carlot market.





FRUITS





Reports of the fruit crop in south-

western, states continue to bear out

previous advices of severe damage

from the cold weather during April.

Peaches, pears, and apricots suffered

heavy losses, and some injury was re-

ported to early apples. Grapes ap-

parently were not damaged and_late

bush crops also escaped. ‘





WOOL





Wool 'prices continue firm in sea.-

board markets. Arrivals from the new

clip are gradually increasing and mills

are coming into the market on a mod-

erate scale. Prices on some kinds of

worsted goods have been advanced

slightly. Mill stocks of wool are light

and an active demand for goods would

compel them to buy freely. On the

other hand, if the demand for goods

should be rather sluggish through the

next two months, increasing supplies





,of new clip wools might put the situa-





tion slightly in buyers’ control. Con-

sumption of combing and clothing

wool in March totalled 28 million

pounds ' compared with 31 million

pounds in February and 34 million

pounds a. year previous. In the west,

some Montana clips have been bought

at 38 to 42 cents, grease basis, with ‘

Oregon clips reported at 33 cents and

sorne growers holding for 35 cents.

Scattering sales of Texas 12-months’

wools have been made at 41 to 43%,

cents,- but most growers are holding

for higher prices, which buyers have

been unwilling to pay. In Michigan,

prices to‘ growers. on medium Wools

advanced from .45 up to 50 cents, -

though most. dealers refused to fol-

low this rise in- full. .
