Door locks are another example of

Fisher leadership and quality. Fisher

door locks are built of the finest

material obtainable and have at

tained that state of perfection where ,

trouble with a lock has become

almost unheard of. The safety lock

used is a Fisher development which

works on the same principle as

the door lock of a house; in other

words, tripping of the inside lever

on the door securely locks the

carso that itcannot be entered in

any way without the use of a key.





Fisher initiated period hardware for use in motor car bodies.

It went farther than that, and gathered into one organization

a complete staff of engineers, designers, artists and modelers,

prepared to carry out in every detail the modern demand for

artistic harmony of design in all body hardware, internal

fittings and similar appointments. This great organization of

artist craftsmen is known as the Ternstedt Manufacturing

Company, a unit of Fisher and the largest manufacturer of

body hardware in the world. In this

great hardWare plant, Fisher obtains

individualized fittings and appoint

ments, radiator ornaments, door hanl

dles, trim hardware, robe rails, foot

rests—all synchronized with the design

motif of each individual car creation.

The Future of'Our Sugar Beet Industry





Present Critical Situation Calls For All-Around Cooperation

By Geo. M. Bradford





HILE the sugar industry of



Michigan has received a severe



setback during the last three

years, there is every reason to believe

that the experience gained in this try-

ing period will prove

benefit to both the beet growers and

manufacturers. The result of depres-

sion in any line of business has been

that those interested» have been

obliged to stop and consider whether

or not their methods were the most

efficient that could be employed.

While adverse weather conditions





an ultimate .





 





THE GROWER’S PART





 





HE grower can make his



greatest contribution to the

permanency of the sugar beet

industry by exercising every 0p-

portunity to prepare fields well,

fertilize properly, carefully plant

the seed, and give the strictest

attention to cultivation. A high

yield will specially benefit the

grower, and will aid the whole

industry at this time.





 





_with





 





 





have played an important part in re-

ducing the tonnage of beets produced

on the farm, there are other factors

in the production of sugar which lie

wholly within- the control of those en-

gaged in the business both in the field

and factory.



A successful sugar campaign de-

pends primarily on the yield of beets





per acre. Low yields either reduce or

wipe out the profit to the farmer. A

supply of beets which will only fur—

nish thirty or forty days run for a

million dollar factory means that the

manufacturer cannot operate at a

profit. Yet even in such a miserable

season for sugar beets as the year

1927, where there was no opportunity

for the fall plowing of the land or

early planting of the seed, there were

some farmers whose accounts showed

a balance on the right side of the

ledger for this crop. This was an

achievement beyond the reach of any

farmer whose land was not in a good

state of fertility and who did not use

the best cultural methods throughout

the growing season.





There is no dOubt in the minds of ‘





careful observers that the fertility of

our sugar beet area has been serious-

ly depleted. \Ve must realize that the

soil is the greatest chemical labora-

tory in the world and that the mate-

rials at our command must be used

intelligence in order to obtain

satisfactory results for the labor and

capital invested in the crop. It has

been pointed out again and again that

much ,of our soil does not contain

enough organic matter to produce

sugar beets profitably. Yet this is a

condition that cah be easily remedied

by the use of green manure crops.

Sweet clover fits into a short rotation

when seeded with oats or barley,

turned under the following spring pre-

ceding a cern crop, and the third sea

son the land is fit for beets. For every





Crows Do Damage Corn





So We Damage the Crows





ByJ. R.





HERE are conditions under

which crows do so much damage

to young growing corn in the

spring that it becomes necessary to

replant entire sections of a cornfield

or even the whole field. This is very

unfortunate for the farmer because

replanting a corn crop that crows

have destroyed means the loss of at

least three orfour weeks of growing

weather and that is the difference be-

tween growing a‘. profitable crop of

mature corn and an immature, almost

worthless, crap. '

.Crows are hard to discourage once

they start pulling corn and it may be





" necessary to use all the recommended





remedies known and more besides.



Crows are smart and there is,no one



remedy that always will work sue-I



cessfully. ‘Here are some of the



things that are frequently tried:

Shooting in the timber where they



roost.



Shooting at them in the field that



they are damaging.



-Use'_'of coal tar treatment of seedas





, ‘ follows:





enter the corn and stir until every





Duncan





draining the tarred corn thoroughly

to remove any water remaining free,

add ashes, land plaster, road dust, or

any similar material to absorb sur-

plus tar and prevent the seed from

being sticky; or, better, after drain-

ing, spread the corn on a barn floor





or similar surface and let it remain.





two or three days, when little or no

dust Will be required. The thinner

the tar, the better. -Crows rarely pull

more than a few kernels of the tarred

corn.



This is the nearest successful deter-

rent known. K’erosene oil is‘likely

to damage germination and the odor

is quickly absorbed by the soil. Tur-

pentine may not injure germination

but the odor is quickly dissipated

when the seed is planted.



An effective poison for crows can

be made- as follows: '



Corn, 24.quarts, strychnine (pow-

dered, 1 ounce; starch,‘ 2 table-

spoonsful; water, 1% pints.



Put the starch and” strychnine in

the water and heat to boiling, stir-





~ ring thoroughly after the starch be-





gins to thicken. Pour this mixture





acre planted to sugar beets there

should be another seeded with sweet

clover, and I think there would be no

complaint about sugar beets being

“hard on the land” where this practice

is followed.



Most Michigan soils

beet area are deficient in available

phosphates, yet every living cell in

the beet plant must contain a tiny por-

tion of phosphorus abstracted, of

course, from the soil solution, and

when the supply is gone, growth

ceases. Where the soil has an acid

reaction, this should be corrected for

both the beet or any leguminous crop

that may be grown upon the land.

While nitrogen and humus may be

added to the soil in sufficient amounts

by the use of green manure crops,

phosphates and potash must be,fur~

nished in the form of commercial fer-

tilizers suited to the needs of the in-

dividual field to be used for beets. The

farmer needs to use the same care in

placing the necessary amount of plant

food within the reach of his growing

crop as he does in feeding a balanced





in the sugar





ration to his live stock it profitable

returns are to be expected.



Where is the beet grower to get

the information he. needs in making

a wise selection of the amount and

kind of fertilizer to apply on his land?

The Soils Department. cf the State

College cannot undertake to analyze

samples from twenty-five or thirty

thousand farmers raising sugar beets.

Would it not be for the interest of





the sugar companies to know more

about the soils on which their beets

are planted? It would give them an





opportunity to refuse contracts on

land not suited for the crop and at

the same time encourage the raising

of beets where it. cc-uid be done on

a profitable basis.



The point raised by Mr. Oviatt in

a recent issue of the Mithigan 'Farmer

regarding the labor cont iact is timely.

Why should labor be paid on the

basis of acres worked when tonnage

is desired by both the iarmer and the

manufacturer? Naturally, the con-

tract laborers will want to work as

safely cleaned ~with soap and water.

After this corn is dry it may be used

immediately or kept for the future,

properly labeled. A small quantity

scattered in a field immediately after

planting, will usually suffice to keep

crows away until the young corn is

out of danger.



Use only the large seeds for this

purpose and scatter on the field where

the crows most frequently visit a day

or two after the seed has been plant-

ed. This poisoned corn is just as

dangerous to chickens as it is to the

crows so care must be used in putting

it out under all circumstances.

QUIP for safety



5" or! and act safely,”

5 pfp is a legan to be em-

“ fty phasized in the pub-

Drwe lic safety program to





be put on under the





auspices of the Michigan Safety

Council, with Governor Green as

chairman.





The Council has two objectives:

One is that all drivers be impressed

with the' need for careful driving un<

der all circumstances, have full

knowledge of all trafl‘lc laws and a

desire to obey them, and join with

other citizens to give moral support

to the traffic laws.



Besides this human equation, the

Council will seek as its second ob-

jective to have automobile equipment

kept in better condition with respect

to safety. This refers particularly

to the brakes, horn, lights, and steer-

ing mechanism. Both the hand and

foot brakes should enable the driver

to stop the auto within forty feet when

travelling at a. speed of twenty miles

per hour. The horn should work and

give a. sufficiently loud note to warn

those who may be in danger. The

lights, which should all be operating

with proper lens and bright refectors,

should enable the driver to see per-

sons 200 feet ahead of the car, yet

when meeting persons or vehicles

there‘ should be no glare. The steer—

ing mechanism should be frequently

examined to avoid possibility of_break~

ing under all ordinary conditions. i



If all persons who drive automobiles

or trucks would take it upon them—

selves to prepare for safe driving and

to keep their cars safely equipped,

the loss of life and injuries from

traffic mishaps would be materially





deepened. This is a. move deserving





_ lot our fullest cooperation.

not take into consideration the exten-

sive use of farm machinery nor the

possibilities of rail transportation. Nor

were they familiar with the technical

features that have become a part of

modern agriculture.



But these and other factors have

enabled the population of the world to

go right on increasing, and the time

when it will be impossible further to

increase 'the number of people has

been indefinitely postponed. Modern

economists feel that the world’s popu-

lation can be trebled twice before the”

possibilities of an actual shortage‘of

food would come even with our pre‘

sent knowledge of agriculture.



Here in the United States produc-

tion for the five years 1922-26 in-

creased fourteen per cent on a. smaller

acreage, with less live stock and

fewer farmers than during the five

years 1917~21. At the same time our

population increased but nine per

cent. From this Dr. 0. E. Baker of

the United States Department .of

Agriculture not only feels that it will

be a long time before population in

this country will press against the

limits of subsistance, and further, that

we shall be able to maintain and fur-

ther advance our present standard of

living.



While these percentages speak elo-

quently of the skill of the American

farmer, they also emphasize the fact

that marketing is boun.. ;o be a major

problem for the producers ofifarm

products. In other words, for a long

time to come, farmers will need to

give attention to the adjustment of

production to consumption.

com Borer morning meeting of

Work corn borer inspectors





where they were en-

gaged in an energetic discussion of

the problems that confront them.

Most of them are farmers who know

only too [well what the farmer had

to contend with.



Their chief discussions involved

the details of clean-up work, what con-

stituted good clean-up, how to get

farmers’ cooperation, and where to use

judgment instead of the letter of the

law in making the work more effec-

tive.





Several hours were spent in these

discussions of things directly connect-

ed with their work. Then at last one

asked. “When do we get our pay?”

They had worked for several weeks

and had received nothing.



If anyone doubts that most of the

corn borer inspectors are serious

about their work and that they have





real problems to handle, he should at-

Rain





AIN is one of the blessin’s of na‘



ture ’cause it just forces a busy

I’m just

settin’ inside now and listening to

the rain araining, and it sure does

sound good.- ‘ '





The way it is raining now, it seems

like old nature don’t pay no attention

to the prohibitionary laWs but in that

respect it ain’t got nothing on a lot

of humans who are tryin' to preserve

themselves in alcohol for posterity.

But I hope they don’t succeed ’cause

we wouldn’t want

the comin’ gen-

erations t0'think

we were all like

them specimens

of humanity. I’m

a thinkin’ the

alcoholic content

of some folkses is

surprisingly high.



B u t t a l k i n'

about rain, there ain’t no purer drink

than it, and the little seeds and plants

comin’ through the ground will just

enjoy a nice fresh drink of water.



Now, of course, I could be what you

call pessimistic about this rain busic

ness. Icould think that the needs I





 





ain’t got in ought to be in and that '





things like weeds is' growin’ so fast

from this rain it’s goin’ to make me

work by moonlight to get caught up,

and the kids got their clothes ,all wet

comin’ home from school, and, etc., and

etc. But I ain’t going to cry over no

spilt water.





I don’t think of work until it comes

to me, but when I have to I work as

fast as I can which is faster than I

would work if Sofie wasn’t after me:

all the time. But you know worryin’

about work and doin’ it too is just

like doing work twice. I do it when

I kin get to it and bein’ as work is

one ofthem necessary evils, I don’t

get to.it any faster than I have to.

In that way I kin get some enjoyment

out of the blessings of work they talk

about in the good books. '





I just wonder how it would be to’





live down in Africa or some place like





that where you don’t have to wear

anything and you kin pick your food

ad of the trees. That would be nice

but there ain’t no books to read, no





radios to listen too, no mothn pic- .





turéB to look at. What would a fel~

low do anyhow? Maybe wOrryin' oven





contouring to do is better than worry- - '

BARN IS LEANING BAD-LY"





 





Our barn 38 to 56 feet and 34 feet

to the peak leans badly towards the

end, the same way that the hay rope

pulls. This has been gradually in-

creasing for ten years or more, and

is now cut of plumb probably two feet

at theI top. What would you advise?





It is rather hard to advise as to





the best thing to do in such a case,





without a Chance'to lock the-building

over and see inst what condition it





*is in, whether the posts and other





main parts have taken on a perman-

ent bend, and so on. Usually it will

be best to have someone experienced

in house moving and such work look

it over and see what can safely be

done towards straightening.



If a large timber couldrbe put across

the lower end'labout the height of

caves and then heavy ropes or cables





put from this to a large tree or dead- ‘

1 man anchor some distance away from





the upper end,'and pull applied with

a capstan or stump puller, probably

considerable of the lean could be

taken out simply by taking the slack

out of the barn' joints. A three-quar-

ter inch steel cable properly fastened

and anchored ought to exert a Very

heavy pull in this _.way



Then if the heavy timber' along the

lower end is fixed with say two or

three heavy timbers as props, So that





. the timber will slide down and hold'

. - any righting movement and the hay

' rope is changed to pull from the other .

. end, I believe the barnwill gradually





right itself. When it is plumb or just

a shade beyond, new braces can be.

you take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him

estimate on the cost of putting it in good shape. A very. 5.

small expenditure may be the means of giving you thou-

FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Detroit, Mich.
Corruption Mare Than a Party





From an Address by Senator

_Arthur Capper at the Annual Din-

ner of New Jersey Republicans,

May 2, at Newark, New Jersey.





QRRUPTION will be one of the.

issues of this campaign. Tea-

.pot Dome will be weighed

ragainst Tammany Hall. The acute

Corruption of the oil scandal will be

contrasted with the chronic condition

of Tammany.



But the issue in which the country

as. a ‘whole is interested, goes much

deeper. The iSSue of clean govern-

ment is something more than mere

' fencing between rival political parties

to point out the weakest spot in the

other party’s armor.



It is humiliating and disgraceful

that a few Republican party leaders

'during a former administration, bar-

tered the nation's resources andtheir

own, and peddled their party’s honor,

for financial gain.



But those who betrayed their party

as well as defrauded their government

by participating in the oil conspiracy,

are today discredited, deprived of

their leadership in the party they be-

trayed and shorn of their ill-gotten

gains.



Thank goodness such castigation

does not have to wait on party disci-

pline, nor onia political referendum.



Corruption is more than a party is-

sue.“ The fight for clean government

is the age-old battle for free govern—

ment, and is never-ending. This I be-

lieve the people fully understand.



The greater menace to clean and

free government, is the over-big

“slush” fund, or the million—dollar

campaign fund for the election of a

senator. \Ve cannot permit nor en-

dure that a senator shall have his





seat bought for him by a public utilfi





ity trust, or by any other, or that pub—

lic utility commissioners shall be so

elosted or appointed.



Campaign-fund investments by-pub-

lic utilities in public-utility commis-

ers and in United States senators are

subversive of either free or clean

government, for they imply a return

on the investment in revenue or privi-

leges, or both, at the expense of the

public.



- Collecting illegal profits from the

sale of resources belonging to the peo-

ple is only a less subtle, less danger-





ous, kind of robbery because it is

less easy to conceal. For‘this reason

the present session of Congress, or,

failing that, the one following, should

provide by law "for the ofl‘icial com~

pulsory publication of all contribu-

tions made to national ~ campaign

funds, or contributed to the campaign

expenses of candidates for Congress

or other national public servants.”



Party is second; its exists for Gov—

erment. Government is and must be

first.



The Iank and file of the Republican

paity, as well as the real party leader-

ship of today, have been shocked and

sickened by the smudge of oil smear-

ed blackly across the records of re-

cent years by certain piratical oil pro-

moters and the public officials they

purchased. ,



This feeling has been greatly inten-

sified by the court procedure in the





 





 





   





jury trials, which seems to show the





" law is powerless in the presence of





smart lawyers, to send such men to

jail even when caught and stripped of

their plunder.



It also is necessary for the main-

tenance of clean and _free govern-

ment, and of respect for government

and law, that such mockeries of jus-

tice be made impossible.



The Republican ‘party must and will

purge itself of the oil'smudge. Mem-

bers of the party demand it; the vot-

ers of, the. country will insist upon it.

Our party leadership realizes this, and

feels the same keen sense of shame

and anger that you and I feel. The

few leaders who at the beginning con-

doned and tried to ignore this issue

are being retired into oblivion—and

the farther they are retired and the

more complete the oblivion, the bet-

ter for all.

ONE DAY’S FIRE REPORTS





 





NE little realizes the frequency



of farm fires here in Michigan.



Hardly a month passes Without a

fire occurring within the knowledge of

the people of any community. Below

is a' partial list reported to us in a

single day:



Two large barns were burned on

the farm of Richard Vemier in St.

Clair County entailing a less esti-

mated at $8,000 with $1,000 insurance.

The origin of the fire is unknown.



The same day, the Morenci fire de-

partment was called out to extinguish

fire in the barn of Mort Taylor living

south of that village. Less is covered

by insurance.



Early the same day the good- dwell-

ing house of Sid Fuller of Mears was

burned. It was with difficulty that

two children were rescued from the

Firemen from Hart pre

vented the spread of the flames to

his barn and other buildings.



David Yelland of Livingston County





lost two barns, a granary, and a hen





heuse the same week. The' fire truck

from Howell arrived in time to save





f the hguse from burning.





The farm home of L. C. Mercer,





near Diamondale, was also consumed





by flames. This was the second dis-





- astrous fire in this same neighborhood





in the past few weeks.

RADISH MAGGOT





 





HE radish maggot usually inflicts

some injury on the radish crop





and in some seasons is exceedingly-





destructive, but effective means of





_ control are readily available.





Early planting is one of the most ef-

fective methods of combating the rad-

ish maggot, but the crop must be ma-

tured by the first of June or soon

thereafter. This is entirely satisfac»

tory for the early crop, but if suc-

cessive plantings are wanted some

other means of controlling the'mg-

gotv-must be employed.



Screening the radish bed in the

same manner that early cabbage is

screened in many sections will keep

the roots free from maggots by pre-

venting the adult flies from laying

their eggs on the young plants‘,’ it is

said. In normal seasons,

grown in screened beds make a more

rapid growth and‘ are superior in size,

succulence, and tenderness to those

grown in the open. Screening is ac-

complished by constructing a frame

work about the bed and covering it

with cheesecloth.





Another effective method of pro-

testing late plantings and a less costly

method than screening is to treat the

young plants with a solution of Cor-

rosive sublimate dissolved in water

at the rate of one ounce to ten gal-

lens.





This solution should be applied

within a week after the plants begin

to appear above the ground, and





jshould be repeated once or twice at





intervals of about a week. If proper-

ed on to give excellent control of the

maggot and to insure a clean crop of

radishes. All things considered, it is

perhaps the most satisfactory method

of combating radish maggot in late

plantings.





 





“OLD STUFF” SAYS THE NEW

HIRED MAN





 





ON’T spray when the trees are



in full bloom, or you’ll poison



the bees” I heard one of my good



farmer friends tell his new hired man



a few days ago. ~



This hired man was no back num-



ber, though, and here is What his re-

ply was:



“Haven’t you read about those

Massachusetts experiments that show

there is practically no danger to bees

in spraying trees in full bloom?”



“No,” was his boss’s reply. “And

we’ll wait till the petals drop, just the

same as usual.”



Having been squelched in such man-

ner, this new hired man had no

chance to tell his boss about the Mas-

sachusetts spray experiments, but he

did tell, me about them later, and I

have since secured a report of the

work; Maybe you’d like to hear about

it; I found it interesting.



First, spray materials (lead arsen-

ate 11$ pounds to 50 gallons of water,

lime-sulphur 1 to 40, nicotine sulfate

1 to 1,000) were offered to bees in

the laboratory, and the bees were

definitely repelled. I don’t blame

them for not liking this kind of drink.

senate and honey was roadilvy ao

cepted by bees and was very toxic.

Any mixture containing nicotine sul-

fate was repellent.



Bees in a greenhouse were offered

fresh blossoms sprayed with the triple

combination, and. refused to work on

them at first. Finally they did, and

there was heavy mortality. This would

indicate‘ that if unsprayed blossoms

were available the bees would not

work on sprayed ones. Bees in tent

experiments were not repelled by lead

arsenate alone on sprayed blossoms,

and there Was some poisoning.





In orchard experiments, contrary to





what might be expected from the.





above, neither a late pink nor an early

calyx spray, applied when there was

considerable bloom won the trees,

caused any serious mortality to col-

onies located in the sprayed orchards.

This was due,- in the one case, to the

fact that the trees came into bloom

very quickly after the'late pink was

applied, thus affording abundance of

unsprayed blossoms; andin the other,

to the fact that, since bees have a

tendency to forage over a considerable

In short, as the new hired man

WANTS TOURING SUGGESTIONS





 





HAVE read your valuable paper





for a long time and I give your





paper the c1;edit in a great measure

for my success as a farmer. But for

some reason it hasn’t kept me from

growing old, so I don’t feel like doing

much work any more. Have rented

my farm. Now my wife and I want

to do some traveling. We think we

want a house car or, in other words,

we want a home away from home on

wheels. Having read many good sug-

gestions from your readers on other

subjects, would appreciate some on

this one. If some of your subserib-

ers will give me this information

CORN BORER AND TAXES





 





HE more I read the Michigan



Farmer, the better its gets. Facts

are discussed, problems solved, and

mistakes all corrected in one big fam-

ily of M. F. readers. What a great

bunch there would be if we could

meet for a fellowship handshake. Now

I didn’t expect to say so much but

when a fellow gets a good thing, why





keep a mouth shut?





Here is more about the corn borer.

The old folks are not always imposed

upon' as Mrs. Watkins stated. In our

section the overseer is a man who

made a. failure ‘of farming and they

gave him a job so that he could live

fat. He appoints his brother-in-law,

who is worth about forty to fifty

thousand dollars an d sixty-eight

years of age, as corn borer inspector;

He can hardly see to drive a car but

For the Gardener





THE Michigan State College has just isswd a bulletin which

should be in the hands of every farmer who grows vegetables

It gives short and explicit directions for the control .

of all fruit and vegetable insects and diseases. "The methods rec- -

ommended are simple, easy to apply, and economical. This is en-

tirely different from the regular spray cadendar. We highly mm

mend that each farmer have a copy. To get one am send your name

is supposed to tramp the fields and

inspect, taking each section in turn,

but instead he runs from one corner

of the township to the other. Appar-

ently the corn borer board has lots

of money and can pay the bill for

such work.





Now how much does the farmer get

out of it? He hears the command to

go and clean up the cornfields or we

will do it for you and charge you up.

It seems he is driven like cattle be-

fore a master. If the farmer says

“no,” he is called a Bolshevist. If he

quits corn raising, he is a menace to

the food supply of the world.





And now about the road question.

Roads are grand things for we need

them in the country. But is the gas

tax fair? We pay it to the state and

a" certain amount comes back to be

used on our roads, but the roads usu-

ally don’t get it. We have a gravel

pit a mile and a half off the main

road, and the county trucks carrying

the gravel certainly put the side roads

in a bad shape, which the road master

or supervisor has to fix up at the ex-

pense of the township.

of our taxes. The gas tax is a good

thing but it does not help the side-

road farmer very much.





If the farmers could get together

like the railroad and miners’ unions

and not fight among themselves, we

could stop a lot of unfair laws and

grafting—Chas. Hillaker. ‘





ON CUTTING' TAXES





 





O



IN reply to a Taxpayer on cutting



taxes, there are possibilities in that

line but why go back? The “Old

Oaken Bucket” and the ‘V‘Ox Team”

are memories. If you dance you must

pay for thevmnsic, so let’s pay for

the best and enjoy it while we can.

Now as to the pension of mail car-

riers, I will say to Mr. Taxpayer he

does not pay that, as all civil service

employees contidbute three and one-

half or their salaries to fund and the

pension department handles it for





them. Cannot say as to theteachers"





retirement fund. But why pick on





two factors that malts education posv _

News and' Views '

From IN‘GLESIDE FARM—43y Stanley Paula/1





 





 





OESN’T it seem rather good to

have the farmcver on a sum‘

mer basis once more? With

much of the stock out on pasture, we

can spend longer hours in the field

without doing chores at unreasonable

hours. ‘ ‘

Speaking of hours of labor,- I think

that farmers in this vicinity are work-

ing more hours per day this year

than ever before in my' memory.

Tractors seem to play an important

part in these non-union-hour activities.

There is rarely an evening but what

We can hear one

Or more kerosene





eating mules

growling and

howling some-





where in the

neighborhood. I

notice that head-

lights are being

used ' by several

farmers in this

community in or-.

der to make one

day do the work

of two.



This is probably all right in emer-

gencies, but certainly as regular pol-

icy it can do nothing but defeat its

own purposes. Working sixteen hours

a day Will never make farmers as a

class prosperous or rural life attrac-

tive and satisfying. Thus far the new

Ingleside tractor hasn’t run after sup-

per, although I’ve been rather late for

the evening meal a couple of times.



Today the tractor has rested com-

fortably in the tool shed and I’ve been

back to my first love—the one-bottom

sulky plow with the four-horse tan-

dem hitch. I was plowing a miserable

land that combined in each round,

sand, stony stretches, hard red clay,

side hills and plain up-hill pulls. De-

spite the obstacles, we left a. good,

uniform furrow. But I must confess

that the results seemed a little slow

in comparison to the amount of

ground that the tract01 turns over in

the same time. '



A Field’s Personality



Did it ever seem to you that each

field has its owu distinct personality?

Somehow I find it so on this old an-

cestral homestead. For instance,

there is our cornfield, where I have

been spending a good many hours

lately. This field has a county road

on the-east and south. It has a high

elevation and commands an excellent

View, not only of these two roads and

their traffic, but of our farm build-

ings, more than a quarter of a mile

away, and of about half the fields on

the farm.





How rich with memories and dear

associations is this old field with its

treacherous sand, stubborn clay and

lurking “hard ‘ heads” just a plow

depth below the surface. ‘Working

out here recently, my mind has gone

on long reminiscent ramblings into

the realm of half-forgotten things.





Once more I seemed to feel the

thrill of the boyish adventure which

was mine when a score of years ago

I started off across this field for my

first experience of piloting a roller.



Again I seemed to feel the aching

forearms and' tender ribs which were

mine the first time that I plowed

there, staggering along hour after

hour between the heartless handles of

a walking plow with about 4,560

pounds of horse flesh snaking me

along.





And then I think of that time when

as a lad I raked the wheat stubble





 





on how. many ,‘bushels I was going to

get from these ‘long fwindrows of

gleanings. But we hgd





 





without the weather mun, ~_





Again m





with an old dump-rake and planned





reckoned" '





again we turned those windrows, only

to have them drenched with another

rain! Finally father and I drew them

up to the hog lot and pitched them of

for the porkers, a little at a time.

Itwasvin this field that I had my

first experience piloting our first

tractor and its gang of three plows.





That primitive and nerveracking ma— »





chine ran with all four wheels up on

the unplowed land and it was no little

trick to keep the furrows straight and

uniform. It was a miserable thing to

steer in sand. No matter how the

front wheels were cramped, it would

keep right on going straight ahead.



.Once when it was acting that way

we ran it into the fence and such a

time as we had getting out of that

mess!



Honor Our Nation’s Heroes



Last evening I attended a meet-

ing of a committee of our local Amer-

ican Legion Post at which we were

completing arrangements for the ob-

servance of Decoration Day. We are

planning to decorate .with a flag the

grave of every man who has worn the

uniform of his country in time of war

and who now lies buried in a grave

within our jurisdiction. We are also

arranging a. patriotic parade and an

appropriate program' on the court

house lawn.



In the course of our deliberations

last evening, two or three of the boys

of ’18 who had seen considerable serv-

ice over-seas fell to relating some of

the unforgetable experiences that be-

fell them over there. It seemed

strange to hear the comrades talking

so freely of those harrowing experi-

ences. Until recently most of the

men who actually saw service at the

front and under fire have been pretty

close- mouthed concerning those ter-

1ible days.



,, If you could have been with me last

evening and listened to their unvar~

nished tales of those awful days and

merciless nights, you wouldn’t be

struggling with corn or beans or sugar

beets on May 30, but you would be

somewhere paying your fervent re—_

spects to the heroes who “have made

and preserved us a Nation.” ’You

would be re~kindling the spark of your

personal patriotism and re-de’dicating

yourself to the unfinished tasks which

face us, even in peace times. Cer-

tainly, a ‘Nation and principles worth

dying for, are/worth living for in

times of peace. '



Many of you Who read this are vet-

erans of some war. What a-pity that

all the American boys who were in

the service duringthe World War do

not belong to an organization of ex-

service men. Personally I may not

agree one hundred per cent with all

the national policies of the American

Legion or enthuse greatly over all the

activities of our local post. But I am

a confirmed believer in the necessity

of organization to accomplish any

worthwhile goal for a group pf people

and I know that a person who'is out-

side an organization or movement and

who does nothing for it cannot logic-

ally complain if it dOes not coincide

exactly with his own personal views.



Filling Orchard Vacancies



The fore part of this month we went

through our orchards and set a vig-

orous new tree wherever there. had

been a vacancy. I: we are setting

aside a. certain amount of land and

ing an orhhard, .I feel that it should

LOST LUMBER

to the saw mill for lumber. When I

went to get my lumber, part of it was

If there Was an agreement ex-

pressed or implied that the customer

would take the lumber after it was

it was wrongfully taken by some

the Dark Continent - from the

two possible routes for us to conSider.

route and then there was 'a place.

where Jim thought there should. bean-j

There was a sort of auto, trail‘which

a few stout hearts had braved from

Kano to Khartoum. It went south of

had ~ever tried—except us. It went

north of Lake Chad. > '

From Kano the auto trail led across

northern Nigeria to Maidugarai and

Ft. Lamy, south of Chad. The other

plunged straight into French Occi-

dental Africa,‘ or “Accidental Africa”~





as Jim called it, via Dambada. The f





one Way, South of Chad; was admitted-

to b'e'bad; the other,-,via ambada,

was just as bad as it-soun . The

one was a blazed trail; the other was

And then there was a.





scurry trembling into the bush and

peek out from behind rocks and sand

dune as we skidded past. They had

never seen anything on wheels be-

fore. And I’m, afraid that if we’d

come put—putting along rolled up in-

side a loop' of wire netting it would

have been too much. What would you

think yourself of such a spectacle?

Jim finally decided to_ wait until we

reached Zinder before rigging up any

more sand fighting equipment and see

there whatthe road prospects would

be. But unfortunately for us Zinder

itself was not quite so bad as the

real “beau geste” country we had ex-

pected—~and which we later found. ‘We

decided, upon first sight of Zinder,

that “Beau Geste” was partly wrong

and that the country “Back of Chad,”

was not simply an unfortunate crea-

tive miscarriage entirely unfit for

human habitation. We learnedlater

that we were wrong. It is exactly as

“Beau .Geste” painted it. 'But at le’aSt

Zinder'itself was not quite so‘ bad‘jas

we had imagined—for we had ima-

gined the worst. .

We had expected only a single som-





 





 





 





In Chains, These Prisoners





like to name too often‘ in this good

journal, the route led to Zinder, the

picturesque French fortress of Beau

Geste fame, or, rather, infamy. I had

seen the motion picture “Beau Geste”

and Jim had read the book, that pow-

erful melodrama based upon the act\i-'

vities of the FrenCh Foreign Legion in

the parched Sahara “Back of Chad.”

Those of you who have seen the pic-

ture “Beau Geste” or read the book

can understand why anyone .Would

think twice before routing himself

that way. And anyone who would

think twice would take .the. other

trail. I -



But my partner Jim thinks only

once, and then he holds that thought.

So we went that way. Or at least

we have started. -



He finally agreed .to ‘go only asvfar

as Zinder and then ‘make careful in—

quiry from the French military Com-

mandant there as to the possibility,

or impossibility, of continuing farther

into the roadless expanse of sand and

bush beyond. If we should find it

absolutely impracticable we would re-





turn to Kano and then go by the other .

' route, south of Chad, farther from the





Sahara.





UR- side cars groaned under the



weight of supplies to last for a



menth’s trek in the desert as we

left Kano, and we had sufficient gaso-

line on the luggage carriers behind to

take us nearly a thousand miles. But

we had no banjo. Our friend, the

thief, had kindly spared us that in

Kano. 'That evening we made the

little post Dambada, which wasn’t

reallyso bad after all.



The next day we reached Zinder—-

and had, a new language to learn

again. ‘Both'Of ushad studied what

enough.





HERE was at least one agreeable



surprise .for us in the singeing

it mightily. A missionary and his

It was -far past midnight when the

yielding to Bob’s urgent request. con





sented to have Ted spend the remain

der of the night with his friend.





“Funny.” remarked Bob as they en

tered the house. “that the Squire

should forget to lock uppHe's always

cautioning me.” A match flared, an

exclamation broke from Ted’s lips.

The room was in disorder as if some-

one had hastily rummaged in search

of valuables. With a leap Bob raced

for the stairs. Above in his room

they found Squire Jones bound and

gagged. The old man was uninjured

but trussed so tightly that cords had

to be out. As he fumed and sputtered

the Squire told what little he knew.

He had been sleeping peacefully when

aslight was flashed in his face and

a gruff voice commanded him to keep

quiet. The intruders wore masks.





_ Quickly he had been tied, then, after





a short search through the house

furious barking had. come from the

barn. “The ‘varmints’ were in an

automobile or truck,” concluded the

old man, “and I heard the pigs squeal.

Better see after ’0111, boys.” ~





Snatching his flashlight and telling

Ted to stay with the shaken old

gentleman, Bob raced for the barn.

\Vhen he opened the door, Jock, bat-

tered and bloody, sprang to meet him.

Evidently the dog had been stunned

by a heavy blow and left for dead.

The partition where Stonewall Jack-

son had been separated from. his

mates was torn down, the champion

was gone. Pausing only to assure





himself that Lady Mary and the nine





remaining members of the family

were unharmed, Bob called the dog

and hurried back, but his light had

shown the imprint of tires where a

heavy truck had hacked to the door-

way. Bitterly reproaching himself for

having left the farm, Bob set about

to restore order in the house. There

had been little of value to attract

thieves, yet some trinkets were mis-

sing. Suddenly Bob rushed to the

place where his father’s violin was

kept. Of real value representing

years of saving and denial, priceless

because of its associations, the violin

was gone. With heavy heart and eyes

which felt the smart of tears, Bob

went up to tell his friends.





Squire Jones was all for summon-

ing the shtrii‘f, Ted for rousing the

neighborhood. As he listened to the

suggestions and the old man’s childish

futile rage, Bob Barton’s despair gave

way to cold fury. Drive them away,

would they, the low—lived scoundrels!

Ruin his chances for success! “Shut

up, Ted,” said Bob, and his chum

started at the tone.

to top.”



“I’m going with you,” declared Ted.

“I’ll ’phone dad in the morning that

you need my help. That won’t be a

lie.” Protesting, the old Squire fin-

ally admitted that a still hunt might

be best. Evidently the marauders

would not have known all neighbors

Ted, “but that Bob has the 'right

hunch? We’llrtake a. shot at it, any-

way." -



Armed with rifle and revolver, the

two boys early set out for the cliff.

It had been a sleepless night, filled

with wild speculation. Jock limped

in the rear, far different from his

usual aggressiveness. \Varily, they

approached the bluff, its festooning

vines new frost-nipped. Bob had

brought axe and spade, feeling that

the burrow might lead to some larger

opening. Futile hours were spent in

digging. Disgusted, weary, the chums

ate their lunch. Bob began to climb

along the Cliff’s face, striking with- his

axe. Ted sat down to rest, renewing

his demands that help should be sum-

monled, but Bob kept doggedly at

“Don’t shoot so fast,” countered

Ted. “Maybe we’ll find out‘whenwe

“They’ll be back to-night,”*exc1aim-

ed Bob. “It’s evident they work here

only at night. Ted, I’m going to stay

right here. You beat it back and get

help. Get your dad and Mr. O’Neal.

and the sheriff. There may be a real

“But you are not going to stay here

alone,” cried Ted. “Kid, those felldws

are desperate. They may kill you if.

they find you here.”



Bob Barton’s'lips set in grim lines.

“Now that I’ve found where these





.devils hang out,” he said,,“I’ll never





leave until we square accounts. Leave

me the rifle, Ted. Jock and I will stay

on guard.” ‘ -



Out in the open Ted Baldwin sped

lessly listening. From the bowels of





the earth beneath him came the

muffled squeal of a pig.

“By t h c jumping Jehosaphat!”





yelled Bob to his startled chum, “'I

can hear ‘Stony.’ He’s somewhere

underground.” Up started Ted- to be

stopped by a sharp command. “Take

that rifle,” said Bob, “and stand guard.

There’s an entrance here somewhere

and I’m going to find it.”



Furiously Bob attacked the matted

vines which covered the cliff. Guided

by the hungry call of his pet. he work-

ed downward until suddenly his axe,

rang upon wood. A moment later he

had exposed a door set into the face

of the cliff, cunningly hidden by inter-

lacing vines. “Throw me the spade,”

yelled Bob. Out into the open came

outlines of a door, but when Bob

caught hold of the protruding handle

it would not budge. Solid oak and

fastened inside. Lucky that he had

an axe. Blow after blow, Ted quiver-

ing with excitement below, Jock, with

ears pricked, seeming to sense im-

pending adventure. The door yielded.

From somewhere far below came the

incessant squealing of a hungry pig.



“VVe’ve found it,” exulted Bob and

now his voice was hushed. “Lucky I

left that flashlight in my pocket last





night. Ted, you stand on guard. I’m

going down.”

“Not me!” said Ted. “Boy, I’m





scared to go and twice as scared to

stay. If this darned kneecap dofi’t

jump out of place I’ll be right with

you-and maybe ahead when we come

back.”



The light shone on rough steps lead-

ing downward. A cave. Soon they

Were in a great cavern, light filtering

through from some opening in the

front. Row upon row of casks piled

high. In an enclosure made of casks,

Stonewall Jackson safe and sound.



It was the keen-witted Ted who of-

fered solution of the mystery. “Ruin

runners,” said he, “storin’ up all this

booze and turnin’ it over to bootleg-

gers. No wonder they wanted to drive

you away! A million dollars’ worth

of booze here, I reckon. Brought up

from the river and trucked in, then

out as they sold it.”





“But the bear,”

[m’z‘ 50 Slow





said Bob, “and





for help; deep in the cavern, Bob 'ex-

plored. He found that steps led down-

ward to another door which undoubt-

edly opened toward the river road.

It was from that direction the villians

would come. Retracing his steps, Bob

crouched behind a row- of kegs, Jock

beside him. The tick of his watch

seemed like hammer strokes. Com-

forted by the presence of his master,

Stonewall Jackson now gave only an

occasional call for food. _

So long as he lived, Bob Barton

would remember those crawling mo:

ments which seemed like hours. Tense,

motionless, his rifle at full cock. Bob

watched. It seemed ages before the

guarded tones of approaching men

came to Bob’s ears and he turned to

face friend or enemy. It was Bald-

win and O’NeaL Hobbling after them

came Squire Jones, his- musket tightly

gripped. A few words of explanation,

then silence. From VVarford a car was

speeding at record-breaking pace, but‘

the short day had come to an end and

night had drawn her sable curtain

across the cavern’s door before Ross

Burton, Bradley Barton and Sheriff

Grimes with two deputies all fully

armed came stealing down. With them

came Ted Baldwin and Vic Slade.

Bob’s final command had been to

bring the third of the “musketeers.”

“By the Almighty,” ejaculated Sher-

iff Grimes as he looked over the ar-

ray of kegs, “this must be the gang

that enforcement officers have been

after for years. A real haul, if we

can get ’em.” ~

“We’ll get ’em,” announced Ross

Burton and he gripped Bob’s arm. “If

we ‘don’t after what this boy has done

we ought to be shot. Some nerve,

staying here, old man.” ‘

“Thank God, we came in time,”rsaid

Bradley Barton, and his voice broke.

“Personal loss meant little to me

when you were in danger.”

“Take charge, Burton,” said the





Sheriff. “You’ve been where there

ivas real fightin’, We may have it

iere.” '





Quickly Burton divided the party.

“Let ’em come in the front way as

they’ll be sure to do,” he said, “and

we’ll have men on both sides of ’em.

They’ll probably make a dash for the

back outlet.

With tro_‘%ttenrpt at. secrecy, voices

raised in iscuss-ion. the party came

on. The light was-insufficient to show

faces, but. there were four men in the

group. Tingling with excitement, Bob

gripped his rifle while one knee

pressed‘hard against: Jpck’s neck.

“Hi, Tony,” called one man, who





appeared to be the leader, “hurry on

“Comin’, boss!” The slurred accent





of a foreign tongue came in 'answer.‘





The men laughed, Jock struggled to





rise and .Bob forced him down. Great!





heavens, what was that? On .the heels

of the‘men who had passedUBurton’s

ure. Now the men had passed Bur-

all would be trapped.

came Sheriff Grimes and his men with ,





menacing rifles. Four hands went

skyward, but the leader whirled with

revolver leveled at Squire Jones, who

blocked his path. - A flying tackle as

Bob Barton dove for his man, the

“putt” of. a bullet as it buried in the

cave wall. Pandemonium as ' Bob

fought his enemy on the cave floor.

From the doorway a call in some un~

known tongue. As the bear whirled,

Jock, freed from his muzzle, charged,

to be met with a blow which flung

him far. Out raced the beast to dis-

appear. A second later Ross Burton

had pounced on Bob’s combatant and

at a blow from‘ his revolver butt the





. man lay Still. »





"‘After the man outside!” yelled Bur-

ton. Out raced O’Neal, Baldwin, Ted,

and Vic to fire in the direction of

crashing sounds. Soon came the noise

of a motor boat. “Got clean away,"

panted John O’Neal as they returned,

“but by the Almighty we made some

catch. Barton, I reckon your troubles

are over now.” ‘ 4 -





With one. arm around Bob’s shoul<

der, Father Barton was giving thanks

that.he had not been harmed. Except

for the bruises incidental to rough-

and-tumble combat,~ Bob was none the

Worse for his encounter. Weakly re-

clining against the kegs the old

Squire, suffering from reaction, was

mumbling thanks. “You saved my

life, Robert,” the old man said, “and

I caused all the trouble because I

could .not wait. By gad, sah, I thought





I was back with General Lee. I'shall

not forget.”

“Quick work, Bob,” commended





Burton. “You used your head. Doubt

if I oculd have ‘winged’ your man be-

fore you plunged.”



“Forget it,” said Bob as Squire

Jonestook his hand.‘ “It was just luck

that .I happened to be where I could

tackle him. He's a tough customer,

all right.” '

The AbilseOf Privilege





'7 ~ -- "1}wa Week/y SWon;By -N.': A. M60102;





.N this particular day, Jesus told

the officials how they and their

ancestors had shamelessly



. abused the rights and privileges.

they-enjoyed. ,He gave the parable

of the Wicked tenant-farmers. They

occupied the broad‘ acres of a wealthy

land owner. The firskseason, when

the grapes Were ripe, he sent a ser-

vant to get 'some of the crop. But

the tenants were a rough lot, and

they gave the slave a beating and sent

him ‘away. Another slave was dis-

patched, and he fared even worse.



One‘ after another followed and each

was manhandled, and some were

killed. Then the landowner sent his

only son. But he fared no. better, and



, . .was killed and

thrown out of the

vineyard. That

was Christ’s way

of reminding His

hearers how, in

the past, good

men had come to

the Hebrew peo-

ple, with mes.

sages from the

Most. High, ‘only

to be despised

and rejected, and

in many instances to meet death

while on their errand of love and

mercy.



Now this can be applied in many

ways to our own country. We too

have been guilty of many things. This

is not booster talk, of course. Jesus

did not belong to the booster’s club.

He said many unpalatable things

which, no doubt, sounded Very unpa-

triotic ‘to many hearers. If we must

all talk booster language, we may

as well lay the Bible aside, and the

speeches of Lincoln and Washington

and Roosevelt and Wllgon. If we are

to be sincere, some. truths must be

uttered that are bitter to the taste,

and may produce violent mental indi-

gestion. It is one of' the symptoms

of the war hysteria which still at-

fects many people, that they prepare

black lists, and are affected with

fuliginou's wrath when they hear some

doctrine with which they are not in

entire sympathy.





 





As citizens we are the inheritors'





of wealth placed here by the A1-

mighty. There is. the soil. It can be

built» up or broken down. It can be

enriched or wasted. And how much

of it is impoverished by greed and

neglect! If it is wrong to steal a bag

of Wheat, it is wrong to steal the ,fer-

tility that produces the wheat. Take

the forests. If the timber used up in

careless methods of. lumbering, or lost

in. forest fires could be restored, it

would last the nation for many a year.

~This is the abuse of privilege.



Citizenship owes much that it can

never repay, but it does not always

apparently want to pay. Papers in

London, England, had as headlines

the day of the recent election in Chi—

cago, “Chicago Shoots Way to Polls.”

At the same time we are keeping

marines in Nicaragua to teach the

Nicaraguans how to be good citizens.



The Jews have a famous wailing

place in Jerusalem, where, for cen-

turies, the faithful have resorted, to

bewail the departed glory of their

people. we of this younger and

mightier nation do not need a wail-

ing place, but we might profitably do

a bit of weeping now and then.



We are being chastened and dis-

ciplined by, stern events. Not long in

the. past, the new day was expected

from;the mastery of science.

and her daughter, Invention, we said,

would show us the short route to an

ideal world. Labor—saving contrivances

came on in a steady stream. With

these came better roads because the

automobile demanded them. The

"farmer could dash 0133 to town with

a load and be back in a couple of

hours, when it used to take all day.

springs of a wonderful civilization.

But they will not save civilization any

more than they will save individual

souls. What John Wesley called .“tl_1e

old coarse gospel” was never more

needed than at this hour. We used

to think'that hungry men will com-

mit crime. But we now, know that

men will commit crime when well

fed. The black deeds that crowd the

newspaper columns are not, the acts

of men driven to desperation by starv-

ing families, but of youth who are

giving expression to the devil in them.

Politics in some states are the trail

of a slimy snake. All the musical con-

certs that can be broadcast in' a year

will not mend such conditions. Li-

braries stand unused by vast portions

of the population. Nothing but the

creation of a‘desire'to be good in

individual hearts will bringabout rc-

formation. “What doth the Lord re-

quire of thee, but to do justly, to love

mercy and walk humbly with thy

God,” needs to be proclaimed anew,

in all the ways that science has made

possible. The “old course gospel” is

not out of date. It is more indis-

pensable than any mechanical inven—

'. SOIL TESTING THEIR MAJOR

JOB





 





OIL testing is an everyday job with'





the county agricultural agents bf

Michigan. A majority of the tests

show an acid soil and a need for lime

before legumes will succeed. Al-

though most of the tests show an acid

soil, there is a great variation in the

degree of acidity and, consequently,

in the amount of lime needed. Often





the time spent in the soil test will





save the farmer many dollars.





PLAN DEMONSTRATIONS IN

WO field demonstrations have



been arranged in Charlevoix

County. One farmer will have a vari-

ety test in which Spartan barley will

be compared with some of the older

varieties; and the amount of potash

which can be'profitably used for po-

tatoes will be tried out in the second

demonstration.

’Tis Time to Hang New Pictures





Select Time Tfiat Me Family M/l Enjoy Most and Hang T flew to T flair Advantage

By Mrs. Marion Rider Hoffman





Home FurniJ/zing Sperm/in, M. S. C.





“A room hung with pictures is a

room hung with thoughts.”—Sir

Joshua Reynolds.





But what kind of pictures will give





_to one’s family, friends, and one’s self





thoughts that are worthy of the home?

And after one has selected these

worthwhile pictures how should they

be framed 'and hung? These and

many more are the problems that

women all over Michigan are studying

in home furnishing groups organized

and instructed by the Michigan State

College.



Every woman wishes her house to

be a real home, a place that is at-

tractive to her family and friends, a

place that is comfortable and home-

like. The’ selection of the right kind

of pictures will do much to make a

house into a home and to express the

personality of the home-maker: Good

pictures bring real pleasure to the

home. Nowadays, beautiful prints of

pictures which art critics have judged

as good, are available at little cost,

therefore, no home needs to go with-

out the pleasure that good pictures

can bring. It is better to have a few

good pictures than many of mediocre

'quality. In the book, “Art in Every

Day Life;” by Goldstein we find the

following: “A good picture has one

or more of the following characteris-

tics: beautiful, expressive lines; a

choice creative pattern; an excellent

arrangement of refined color or an

elevating theme, well interpreted in

form Or color. ”



’ As to the Living Room





The pictures in the living room





4, should be of interest to all the mem-

‘Vbers of the family and of a type that





be interesting to even one’s

ads. Portraits by famous artists,

seapes and marine pictures seem

‘bme in the living room, as would:

m‘e LeBrun and Daughter” by Le-

Italy” by Corot, “Northeaster” by

Homer.



Gay Colors for Dining Roam



In the dining room and hall, pic-

tures rather gay in color, yet which

have a suggestion of formality will

be suitable. Such subjects as flowers,

garden scenes, hunting scenes, and

architecture make a good variety for

this room.



For the very little folks, scenes fro-m

story books, illustrations of nursery

rhymes, pictures of people, of animals,

and of flowers all have possibilities.

As the children grow older, pictures

with action in them are more attrac-

tive. It is well to have only a few

pictures on the wall at one time and

change them from time to time be-

cause children’s interest change

rapidly.



Even the kitchen can have its pic-

tures. If much time is spent in the

kitchen,.beautiful landscapes and por-

traits may be pleasant for the worker.



The pictures for the bedrooms,





'which belong to the members of the





family, may be of a personal nature.

Photographs have a place in this room

and may be framed and hung over a

table or desk.





Frame Makes the Difference



Such a difference the framing of a

picture makes! The simpler frame is

usually the better. If a gilt frame is

used, it may be toned down by rub—

bing colors into it so that it harmon-

izes with the colors in the picture.

Wood mouldings slightly tinted to re-

peat the predominate color in the pic

ture may be purchased. Usually the

best frame is about as dark as the

middle values of the picture. The

size and width of the frame will

'depend on the size of the picture, its

treatment, and its composition. For





Deco ration





F you are planning for extra com-

pany on Memorial Day, these

everyday foods, served just a bit dif-

ferent than usual, will make the day

truly a memorial one.

Tomato Aspic Salad'



Make a tomato sauce by forcing one

pint of tomatoes through a/ serive and

cooking for fifteen minutes with one

tablespoonful minced- onion and two

tablespoonfuls of minced green pep-

per. When still boiling, add two and

one-half tablespoonfuls gelatin that

has been softened in one-half cup of

cold water. Chill and, as it thickens,

add two cups of minced cabbage, or

or celery. Turn





serve on lettuce with mayonnaise.

Asparagus on Toast



Make a white, sauce of two table-_

spoonfuls butter,. one tablespoonful

flour, one-half teaspoonful salt, and

one cup thin cream. To this amount

add two cups cooked asparagus and

four hard-boiled eggs that have‘been

shredded; Serve on buttered toast.

,- per.





instance, a picture of the sea painted

in a bold manner will require a heavi-

er fiame than a quiet landscape paint-

ed delicately.



Much of the success of the picture

depends upon the hanging of it. Usu-

ally the picture is hung so that the

center of interest comes on the level

of the eye. However, oftentimes it





is desirable to hang the picture high





er or lower than the eye level so that

it may balance the group or piece of

furniture with which it is grouped.

If a picture is always hung over a.

piece or group of.furnit11re, it will be

a part of the furnishings rather than

an isolated spot in the room.

How to Hang ’Em



Pictures should be hung, so that

they lie flat against the wall. If the

screw

back of the picture, this will be ac-

complished. The pictures may be

hung so that the wires do not show;

the Wire simply goes from‘screw-eye

to screw-eye across the back of the

picture. This method necessitates a.

nail being driven into the wall at the

place where the picture is to hang.

If wires are carried to the moulding,

at the intersection of ceiling and wall,

they should run parallel to each other

and should not form a triangle.



These suggestions, by no means

complete a study of pictures for the

home. This study warrants far more

time because pictures can surely

bring a wealth of pleasure and can

open a field of never ending breadth

to every home.

chicks’ lives. It is caused by a parasite worm which attaches itself

to the internal surface of the windpipe and sucks blood from the

mucous membrane. It obstructs the. breathing, therefore causing the gaping

characteristic of the trouble. Loss of blood, insufficient breathing and di-

minished activity in looking for feed cause the birds to get weak and blood-

less.

The worms found in the throat are usually “forked.” When so, they

are really two worms, the male and the female. The former is about one

fifth inch long, While the latter is one—half inch long. The heads of both





are attached to the mucous membrane. A large number of eggs develops





in the female which are sneezed out. or swallowed and carried out with

the droppings. In a short time, the eggs of these parasites will continue

their development if sWallowed by other chicks.



Symptoms—Chicks from ten days to four weeks old usually show the

trouble by sneezing with an abrupt whistling sound. Later they gape, ex-





. tending the neck and opening the beak as if trying to get breath





Treatment—Treatment of young chicks is hardly worthwhile. Older

chickens which gape but have fairly good appetites may be cured by in-

jecting some worm-killing medicine or using a worm extractor. The latter

can be made/from a horse hair bent over and both ends twisted together

to produce a loop on the other end; A small quill feather, stripped of all its

web except a small tuft at the end, may also be used. These extractors

should be moistened with kerosene or oil of turpentine, and with the neck

of the chicken held straight so the extractor will enter easily, it should be

put down the throat about a half inch below the base of the tongue or the

glottis. It should then be given several turns and pulled out. Worms on

it should be killed in hot water. It should be inserted again a little deeper



‘until it extends nearly the whole length of the throat, turned again and

pulled out.



The best methods to use are preventive ones. Place the newly hatched

chicks on new ground and away from turkeys which are common sources

of gape worm infection.



' Leg Weakness



Leg weakness is not a disease but a condition brought on by faulty

feeding and a lack of sunlight. The feeding of cod liver oil or the direct

; exposure of the chicks to the sunlight will usually prevent this trouble.

‘The odd liver oil should be fed to growing chicks at the rate of‘two to

four per cent of the ration, depending upon the .quality of the cod liver oil.



This may be, fed in the grain or in the mash at the rate of one pint to

twenty pounds or more of,feed. It is advisable to follow the directions

of the particular brand of oil being used. It may alsobe fed in semi-solid

milk» placing the ‘milk on boards for the chicks to pick at.



Rose Chafer Poisoning

. The rose chafer, or rose bug, is quite poisonous t0 chicks less than ten

'weeks old. The chicks swallow chafers which are on the vegetation they

eat. Only a few of the bugs will cause poisoning enough to bring death.

Symptoms of rose chafer poisoning show about an hour after swallowing





ditheebugs. Death may follow in about an hour after the symptoms show.

«XThe indications» are that the chicks become drowsy, show weakness of the





legs and fall over on their sides. Sharp cries of pain are emitted and the





‘head is bent over the back. The only internal sign of the trouble is the





presence of the'rose chafers in the crop.

The only treatment advisable is the use of epsom salts—one-fourth of:

a teaspoonful 'in a. little-feed for each chick. Usually the poison acts so





,, quicklythat treatment is useless. Preventive measures are to keep chicks





from grape vines, rose bushes, and shrubbery when rose chafers are pre-

valent. .

girls’ club work. It comes



about the same time of the year

and lasts as long. Achievement days

have been occurring since the middle

of April and will last until June.

There is, however, one great differ-

ence between achievement day and

spring. Spring is the beginning of

things while achievement day is the

end, the time of accomplishment.





Achievement day in Wayne County

occmred on Saturday, May 12th. On

that day the beautiful high school in

Dearborn was given over to the club

boys and girls, and all day it was

ahum and .abuzzing with youthful

voices, .with once in a while a ma-

ture constraining voice of caution,

intermingled. In the gymnasium were

the exhibits of the clothing club mem-

bers, showing neatness and style in

the dresses that were surprising. In

the manual training room was the

handicraft work which showed that

the young farmer boys knew well how.

to handle carpenter tools. Upstairs

the nurse and doctor were examin~

ing the club members to determine

the health champions, while in the

auditorium the hot lunch posterswere

displayed.



The outstanding feature of the af-

ternoon program was music, and

rightly so, for Miss Lois Corbett, home

economics and club work leader in

the county, has been a pioneer in

creating a rural school interest in

music. The singing of the club songs,

“Dreaming” and a “Plowing Song” by

the entire group of club members





 





singing.



But the chief'feature‘ was the dem-

onstration of the three years’ workdn

music appreciation. A group of about

twenty-five second grade boys and

girls from Maple Grove school, that

would do credit to any school, showed

a. real interest when the teacher was

teaching the sounds of music and

what they meant. Her story of the

robins, supplemented with music, was

listened to with real interest by the

young pupils, and their eagerness to

answer her questions was inspiring.

Their little dances at the end was one

of the features of their act.





The Stark school demonstrated the

2nd year music by showing a knowl-

edge of instrument tones as played

on the phonograph. Holding large

pictures of various musical instru-

ments, they acted as if they were play—

ing them when the particular instru-

ment parts were played in the phono-

graph selection. It was a very inter-

esting and unique demonstration of

education in music appreciation. The

pupils were well educated in the tones

of the usual brass, woodwind, string,

and percussion instruments which con-

stitute an orchestra. ,



The third year musical appreciation

work consists of a study of folk songs.

The club members are made acquaint-

ed with the songs of various coun~

tries, thus getting some idea of the

characteristic music of various na-

tions. The Texas school demonstrated

this work and used an Italian folk

song in their demonstration.





The winners in the various club

activities were as follows: Handicraft,

Raymond. Betzold, lst year; Edwin





year. Howard Lott and Raymond

Betzold of Texas school constituted

the handicraft demonstration team

that won. Clothing: Mildred Betzold

1st year, Norma Forstle 2nd year;

Lillian Begenau, 3rd year. Louise

Steinhebel and Laura Prouty made up

the winning judging team and Mil-

dred Betzold and Viola Gale consti—

tuted the clothing demonstration win-

ning team. In the music memory con-

test, Mary Mettetal took first place,

Lillian Begenau, and Eileen Scherer.

second and third places" respectively.

The hot lunch. poster contest was won

by the Stark School with the Allen

and Fletcher schools second and third.



In the health- contests, Nina Griggs

fifteen years old, won second cham-

pionship among the girls and Laura,

Prouty, thirteen, junior championship.’

Austin McMullen. won junior cham-

pionship among the boys. . _ :

G. C. Messages





INCE this is the time of the year

when everyone is thinking of

choosing the course he shall fol-



low for his summer’s work, I



have decided to make my G. C. mes—

sage a. subject to the choice of the

youth in choosing the course he shall

follow in the future years. -



I believe that the golden age of op

portunity is now within the command

of each individual. Everyone of us, if

we would be a success, must grasp

these opportunities which are afford»

ed daily.



As time delivers us upon the thres-

hold of manhood and womanhood, we

find that we have at last shifted into

a positionlwhere we must face the:

world. ,



Our choice in the path that we shall





 





Emma Schriedel ls Feeding Her Pig





follow depends largely upon the in-

fluence of our early childhood. Whe-

ther we stand before the world in

pride and glory, or assume the posi-

tion of the youth that our friend,

0., has pictured, depends

first upon our environment and the

Christian examples of our parents.

Many times the influence of our par-

ents tends to lead us away from the

stronger and more worthy principles.

In this case our choice depends large—

1y upon ourselves. '



It is well for the older generation

to advocate a reform in the youth of

today and it is also an eZisy thing for

them to lower the standard of our

American youths.



A minister of the Gospel cannot ex—

pect his people to be truerChristians

if he does not live up to his doctrine.

neither can the parents of the present

generation expect their children to be

loyal citizens of America, if they do

not practice the principles they advo—

cate. '



Thus the American youth, facing

the existing conditions; has ;to battle





with the many difficulties cenfr'onting '





them and overcome them by grasping

the opportunities which are revealed

even in the darkest hours of this

golden age of opportunity.——Zola

Marsh.





 





I am‘ writing in response to your

request for letters from Golden Cir-

clers. And, Uncle Frank, I am very

proud to think that I belong to that

limited- group. It seems almost im-

possible that my next birthday will

make me illegible to membership of

Our Page. It makes me feel awfully

old. Just think! I will soon be a

full-fledged “School M’am.”



Although my childhood days are

past they are not. forgotten; and I

thank God with all my heart that they

were spent on a farm. _



’ The city has many advantages but

I do not believe that the city can





compare with the country as a place '

.for a. child to live.





When a small

Child, I became, without being aware

of the fact, a worshipper of Nature.

It is now my belief that Nature wor-

ship and God worship are-inseparable.

And why shouldn’t hey be? Nature

is beauty supreme; Nature is peace,

Nature is truth. ‘ As we gaze with

We will let Mrs.





own words:.‘





"Dear Sir-:1 ‘see reports of so many,





losin“'. their little chicks with White

. Dian: ea, so thought I would tell my

5 experience. I used to lose a great

many from this cause, tried many

remedies and was about discouraged.

As a last resort I sent-to the Walker

Remedy Co., Dept. 510 Waterloo,

10wa, for their Walko Ill/hits Diarrhea

Remedy. I used two 50c packages,

‘ raised 300 White vaandottes and

never“- lost one or had one sick after

Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.





 





. Cause of White Diarrhea



White Diarrhea is caused by micro-

scopic organisms which multiply with

great rapidity in the intestines of

diseased birds and enormous numbers

are ' discharged with the droppings.

Readers are warned to beware of White

Diarrhea. “Don’t wait until it kills half

your chicks. Take the “stitch in time

that :saves nine." Remember, there is

scarcely a hatch without some infected

chicks. Don’t let these few infect your

entire flock. Prevent it. Give Walko

In all drinking water for the first two

weeks,,and you' won’t lose one chick

where you lost hundreds before. These

letters prove it: ‘ , ,





 





‘ Never Lost a Single Chick



Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,

Ind., writes; “I have lost my share of

chicks' from White Diarrhea. Finally

. I scnt'for two packages of Walko. I

' raised over. 500 chicks and I never lost

h single chick from who Diarrhea. Walko

not only prevents ite Diarrhea, but it

gives, the chicks strength and vigor; they



develop quicker and feather earlier."





Never lost One After First Dose



Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,

Iowa, writes: “My first incubator

chicks, when but a few .days old, began

to die by thedozens With White Diar-

rhea. I_tried different remedies and

was about discouraged with the chicken busi-

ness. . Finally, I sent to the Walker Remedy

Cc., Waterloo, Iowa, for a box of their Walks

White Diarrhea Remedy. It's just the only

thing for this Jerrible disease. We raised 700

thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost a single

chick‘ after the first dose.”

WOMAN MAKES GOOD ON A CLO-

VERLArND 0.41mi! FARM.





 





ORTY-FIVE years ago a. sturdy



German couple found their way

into the interior of the Northern

Peninsula of Michigan, then a. famous

lumbering region.



The old Mackinac trail was an

artery that led from the Straits to

the hinterland. Travel was accom-

plished by slow stages over the rude

trails, by foot or horseback.



Deer ran the woods and fox and

wolves Were plentiful. A few years

later saw northern Michigan the lum-

bermen’s Mecca.



However, George Mahl and his

young wife sought a home. They were

both abundantly blessed with the

hardy spirit of the pioneer and with

The trials and troubles attendant

upon the rearing of a family in a

semi-wilderness did not pass them by;

but they persevered and by dint .of

much hard labor and careful manage-

ment managed to secure title to 360

acres of excellent grazing land.



A fine comfortable'home finally re-



placed the first rude dwelling and

good barns and outbuildings were

erected. ,.

The building of the railroad made

it possible to Ship cream, the land was

well adapted to the growth of forage

crops and Mr. Mahl was not slow to

realize the opportunity for going into

the dairy business.



He devoted less time and effort to

general; farming, enlarged his herd

and established himself in that branch

of agriculture that is making the clo-

verland famous, namely, dairying.

dren grown and in homes of their

THEFUTURE OF THE SUGAR

‘eEET INDUSTRY





 





(Continued from page 703)

many acres as possible in a season

and the smaller number of beet





3} plants they have to handle in .the





various operations of blocking, thin-

ning, weeding, and harvesting, the

more ground they can cover with pro-

fit .to themselves. There is no doubt





that this item is one of the main rea.





sons-.for our low beet yields. In

other words the present cdntract 'is

exceedingly poor business for both the

beet growers and' the sugar compan-

ies. .It- might be well to note here

that some progressive farmers have

found it profitable to pay their labor

a bonus based on tonnage produced.





The Michigan State College through,





its Extension Department is carrying

the message into‘ the field, of vari-

ous practices in sugar beet culture,

'anyone of which if followed, would

‘increase the yield from one to several

tons per acreu To anyone familiar

'with what the College has done for





the potato industry, it is reasonable -





to expect that similar. methods will

rehabilitate the beet ordp. ‘The only

reason we have an annual potato

crop today in Michigan worth about

'thil'tytfive million dollars, is that the

yields per acre have been increased to

the point Where it is again a profit-

able crop. _



For" several. years the sugar com-

panies have been forced to reach out

into new territory in order to. obtain

sufficientbeets to operate their plants.





tory adjacent to the factories, the fer-

tility. of the soil has been depleted

'and lax cultural methods have been

followed until the returns from the

crop have discouraged the growing

\of beets. It is now necessary to con

“tract for about fifty per cent more

acreage than would be necessary if

the raising of sugar beets were a

mere attractive proposition to the

average-grower. But, on the other

hand, to anyone attempting to make

it soon. becdmes evident that under

;present conditions, the sugar compan-

ies cannot be expected to pay more

. There is, however, a‘

chance for the.- cost of beets to the

It 081‘





desirable conditions,

" j only be brought about through in-





C ARES turned- in by farmers atv





however, can





' creased production per acre.





Turning now from the agricultural

-to the manufacturing side of the

sugar business, the story of what has

'taken place in another industry of

our‘state occurs to - the writer. A

number of years ago two corporations

began to make chemical products

from the same raw material, namely,

the brine Which underlies the Saginaw

Valley. ' The first concern, backed by

plenty of capital, manufactured one

principal product with perhaps one or

two by-products and was presumably

prosperous for a number of years. Re-

cently the business has been discon-

tinued. The other company began in

a small way, but at no time was the

possibility of developing new products

or processes overlooked. ’I\)day

dozens of chemical products are manu-





factured and marketed by this cor-'





poration which has prospered and

stands today as a monument to what

research can do for industry. A' suc-

cessful business enterprise of today

does not confine itself to making one

commodity if there are any waste

materials that can be used in the

manufacture of by-products.





In Michigan’s sugar industry there





‘has been developed only the drying





of the beat pulp and the recovery of

sugar from molasses. While many

processes for the utilization of sugar

factory wastes have been. proposed 1w

technical- men, the, industry has been

slow to give them any consideration.

Apparently there is a lack of under.

standing of what research could do

for the industry. When sugar is ex-





tracted from the sliced beets‘in the-





diffusidn battery there are found asso-

ciated with it innumerable substances

which must be removed in order to

crystallize as much sugar as possible

from a given tonnage of beets. As yet

these associated compounds which are

both qr’ganic and inorganic in nature

are not very clearly understood, but it





' is known that the residues from fac-





tory operations contain many sub-

stances which are useful to man. In

Belgium the waste material, after

sugar! has been extracted from mo-

lasses, is sent to a central plant from

the different sugar factories in that

country and a large number of chemi-

cal products are manufactured. 'Whe-

ther or not a similar chemical indus-

try could be built up under eCOnomic

conditions in this country would be a

matter for careful investigation.





It has been estimated after a care-

ful study of the subject that one ton

of beets loses one pound of sugar

every day while it is in storage under

average weather conditions. Severe

freezing and thawing may cause this

loss to run higher. While the beets

are harvested in a period of about six

weeks, the factory should have a sup-

ply sufiicient for ninety or a hundred

days’ run to make the season's opera-

tions profitable. This means that the

loss from this source alonemight easi-

ly amount to $100,000 or more at a

single-factory. It has been proposed

many times to slice and dry the beets

before the extraction of sugar and at

last a process has been developed in

Europe which seems to be practical.





As the dried beets can be kept inde-





finately without deterioration, it will





readily be seen that the scope of fac- .





tory operations could be extended.

Dried beets could be shipped in from

outlying territory where it is not pro—

fitable to pay freight on the freshly

harvested beets.





.While it is only a. question of time

be‘fore beet sugar will be obliged to





'meet competition from new sources,





on the other hand the industry is a

long ‘ways from reaching its mature

development and what the future has

in store for the sugar business de-





pends now on the foresight and the





courage of the_ capital invested to

ter to pay the same tax on their prm

duct as do the other producers of but-

ter substitutes, is making slow pro-

gress in Congress. The delay in se-

curing action is due to several cir-

cumstances. Senator McNary has

taken the position that this is a

revenue bill and must originate in the

House. The House committee has not

tle men appeal to be taking out ade-

quate numbers at p1esent.Ship-

nlents to the countly from all public

stockyalds in April reached 236, 000

head against 204 000 head last year

and 189, 000 head two years ago. Im-

provement in pastures because of

rains, lower corn, and firmness in fat

cattle should stimulate demand in the

immediate future, but easier prices

seem probable before June is over.





HOG PRICES DECLINE





 





HE anticipated increase in re-

ceipts of hogs because of the mar-

keting of the fall pig crop was

strongly in evidence in the last week

and daily declines in prices were the

result. Nearly a dollar break has oc

curred from the Aplil high point, and

some further weakness is probable in

the next month, or until leceipts be—

gin to drop down to summer volume.

Fresh pork loin prices have lost a

big share of theil April rise. Prices

of cured meats and lards have been

fairly firm, but they did not advance

much with the spling bulge in hog

plices. Exports of meats» in the two

weeks ending May 12 totalled 11 mil-

lion pounds, the largest in over five

months and about equal to the move-

ment in the same period a year ago.

Exports of lard were twenty-five mil-

lion pounds, the largest in a month,

but slightly smaller than last year.

Trade reports indicate a substan-

tial reduction in the size of the spring

pig crop, which, if correct, will mean

considerably higher prices next winter

than in the past winter.





LAMB RECEIPTS INCREASE





 





ECEIPTS of lambs thus far in



May have been larger than in



April and prices are gradually

losing ground. Likewise, they have

been substantially larger than' a year

ago. New crop lambs now predomin-

ate on the Chicago market. The

United States Department of Agricul-

ture reports that the condition of the

early lamb crop as of May 1 was be-

low average in most sections, due to





cold weather and poor pastures. Re-





ceipts up to Julyl probably will be

of light weight and poor quality.

Poultry feeds with grit $52.00; with-

out grit $56.00 per ton.





WHEAT.





Widespread rains over both the win-

ter and spring wheat belts have im-

proved the outlook for the new crop

and forced some revision of price

views. At the low point of the. break,

Chicago prices had lost. well over half

of the late winter and early spring up-

turn. .



Latest comments from Canada indi-

cate that an increased acreage is

being planted under favorable condi-

tions. \Veather conditions in Europe

have been more favorable recently,

but reports from representatives of

the United States government indicate

that with average conditions hereafter

the crop will be below average and

substantially smaller than last year.

It is unlikely that the new Russian

crop will furnish anything for export.



The supply of wheat for the rest of

this crop year is ample and about a

normal quantity will be carried over

both in the United States and abroad.

While present conditions in the

United States and Europe indicate

lighter production this year than last,

the issue will not be clear cut for two

months or more. In other words,

later developments will decide whe-

ther wheat is to sell at $1.25 or $2.25

during the next twelve months.





CORN





Favorable weather for planting,

prospects of increased acreage, good

rains for starting growth, larger re-

~ceipts attracted by recent high prices,

and speculative liquidation all figured

in the recent weakness in the corn

_ The visible deqeased only

‘ ing May 12 in contrast with the de-





‘ ‘ creases of about two million bushels

the belt. Commercial demand has con-

tinued active and commercial stocks

may be reduCed to moderate size by

midsummer, so that prices may

sustained on a high level. Looking

farther ahead, the new crop year

promises to bring a. larger supply than

in the past season with a smaller

feeding demand due to a reduction in

the hog population. The first esti-

mate of the Argentine crop is 303,000,-

000 bushels. This is 5.5 per cent be-

low the 1927 production, but will sup-

ply importing countries generously

until next winter.





RYE.





Rye prices have been relatively

stronger than wheat, owing to the in-

dications of a small crop in both the

United States and Europe, the small

and rapidly diminishing visible sup-

ply, and the persistence of some ex-

port business. Rye is likely to sell

at less than the usual discount below

wheat throughout the coming year.





OATS.





Oats prices declined sharply along

with wheat and corn during the past

week. Rains have improved the new

crop outlook, and the smallness of

farm and market stocks may be dis-

counted by current prices which are

12 to 14 cents over last year.





SEEDS.





While drought conditions in the

southwest have been relieved some-

what in the past week, the condition

of alfalfa and clover stands shows

little improvement. The subnormal

condition of clover, meadows, and pas-

tures has encouraged plans for plant-

ing more legumes and demand for soy-

beans and cowpeas has been very ac-

tive at firm prices. Farmers are hold-

ing remaining stocks of alfalfa seed





for late summer and fall planting

which is expected to be extensive. A

short crop of clover seed will be har-

vested this year even though condi-

tions from now on are favorable.





FEEDS.





The feed market has worked lower

again this week as more seasonable

weather over most of the country

brought improvement in pastures and





demand for mill feeds slackened. Sales





are almost entirely for prompt ship-

ment. Production of wheatfeeds

moderate so that although demand is

limited, offerings have been well ab-

sorbed and stocks in dealers’ and

mills’ hands remain small. Middlings

have declined less than .bran and some

mills believe that prices for middlings

will remain relatively firm, with_the

premium over bran widening as the

summer approaches.





Chicago—Bran, $38; standard mid—

dlings, $40.50; hominy feed, $43.50;

gluten feed, $38.70; old process oil

meal, 34%, $55.50; talnkage, 60%, $70.





HAY.





Althofua'gh reserves of hay remain-

ing on rms on May 1 were consider-

ably larger than a year ago, as re-

ported by the Department of Agri-

culture, stocks are being marketed

slowly due to the unsatisfactory out-

look for the new crop. Prices, par-

ticularly for best quality hay, are firm

to slightly higher. Some rain has

fallen in the southwestern. section, but

more is needed. Cutting of the first

crop of alfalfa will begin in another

fortnight, and the crop is expected to

be below normal. Good quality old

alfalfa hay is very scarce and values

are firm. Arrivals at both Omaha and

Kansas City last week were the small-

est for some time.

EGGS.





Egg prices have eased off during

the past week. Fine quality eggs are

very scarce, -hoWever, and values

have remained relatively firm with

fancy northern stock bringing a pre-

mium In many instances. Receipts

are holding up although reports'from

the country indicate that the peak of

the laying season is past. Production

may not.drop off as rapidly during the

late spring and early summer this

year as it did in 1927 when the wea-

ther was favorable early in the sea-

son and very unfavorable in May and

June. Feed costs are higher than last

year, however, and flocks which are

fed only purchased feed may be put

on shorter rations. With production

past the" seasonal high point, it is ex-

pected that prices will remain steady

to slightly higher. '



Supplies of ~ poultry are increasing

as farmers cull their flock at the end

of the heavy laying season. Hens are

now commg from such states as Iowa,

Kansas, and Missouri. The broiler

crop is later than a year ago and

prices average higher. The spring

chicken crop is smaller than in 1927

if reports from shippers are accurate.

Some dealers believe broiler prices

will continue firm until well into June.

POTATOES.





Hope of an advance in old potatoes

during May has faded as prices con-

tinue on the down grade. Prices were

advancing at this time a year ago, and

with spring farm work so backward, ‘

restricting the normal delivery of po-

tatoes, it was hoped that last spring’s

performance would be repeated. Sup-





 





so that no shortage has developed to

boost values. Prices at shipping

points are, now only one-third to one-

half as high as a year ago.



The condition of early potatoes in

ten southern states on May 1 was re-

ported as 76.3 per cent of normal, com-

pared with 72 per cent a year ago and

75.6 per cent two years ago. _ Condi-

tions in"Oklahoma, where frost ,dam—

age has been severe, were the poorest

of any state, reporting. - -
