hall We Send Him Away to College?





That, Question Troubled Us for Two Months

By A‘ Father





UR son of'seventeemhas com-.





pleted 'his high school work



with good credits. Now, since



he has not decidedthe line of work



he will follow, he wishes to take a



and will spe-



cialize later when he better under-

stands what he would .like to do.



Many ~ parents



consider our Situation most favorably



for deciding this matter, since we live





.within Six miles of a splendid college.





This college provides just such a





course as the boy plans to start this

' fall.





The question for us to decide

was: "Should we send John to this

school or to some other institution?”



My wife and I had a number of

conferences and we talked many

times with John on the matter. We

merely acted in an advisory capacity

on what seemed to us a big problem,

since we left the final decision up to

John, himself. But he had always

counseled with us on issues that

troubled him and was anxious in this

case to have our best judgment, which

he followed in making his choice.



We considered carefully the advan-

tages offered by the local college. It

was so near at hand that John could

spend much of his time at home. His

room and most of his board could be

provided just as it had always been.

A small car would be‘ his means of

This arrangement

would mean a reduction in cost, a

matter of importance to us. 'We felt

that the probable saving would aver-

age better than twenty-five per cent

of the cost of going elsewhere for this

training.



Besides the lower ‘cost, he also

would be more or less under our ob-

servation. John is dependable, and

we have confidence in his integrity

and judgment; yet we do know that





‘many good boys go wrong, and so

.this arrangement would, to some ex-





tent, relieve us of no little worry

while he pursued his college work.

Furthermore, he could bring his col-





. lege friends to our home, thus making





it pleasant for him and his guests

and enabling us to size up the type

of friendships he developed in his col-

lege relationships. This was an ad-

vantage with which my wife, in par-





» undoubtedly would





ticular, was very much impressed.



We thought further of the assis-

tance we might be to him in his

studies, and of the opportunities we

would have in frequently advising him

on problems which would develop. He

has always had the habit of submit-

ting questions that puzzled. him to'

both his mother and myself. We, of

course, appreciated and encouraged

this and we rather wished for condi-

tions that would permit a continua-

tion of the habit.



As I say, we discussed these advan-

tages and many others. We even cal-

culated that we would occasionally

have opportunity to Visit his teachers

and the deans of the college for their

viewpoint and reaction on his work.



But despite the advantages of this

nearby institution, with which none of

us can find fault as an educational

institution, we have selected a college

some two hundred miles from our

home. This college has a good repu-





tation, gives courses similar to those

of our local institution, and its staff

is perhaps on about the same level.



One of the things in favor of the

distant school is that John would

have his time to attend to his school

work. During his high school course,

he made many friends. If he re-

mained here at home, these friends

would demand a certain amount of his

time. In entirely new surroundings

he would develop an environment bet-

ter suited to his new work. There

he can live a real college life. Here

at home it would be impossible as his

old life would persistently trespass

upon the new.



But these and other matters were

of minor importance in making our

recommendations. The chief reason

for advising as we did is that in

going to a distant school, he would be

thrown on his own resources. He will

have a certain allowance in funds

and with that he must work out his





plans and execute them. He will plan

his own living, make his own con-

tracts, and pay his own bills. Here

is an opportunity for a splendid

course in self-reliance. To us it seems

like a most important training. Is

there a better place for a young man

or a young woman to build real char-

acter to gain confidence in his own

powers, to develop unselfish ideals,

than in our colleges where large num-

bers of young men and women of

similar ages and talents are brought

together from widely scattered homes

and required to

lives?



It may be that we have decided

wrong; but the more I go over the

ground, the firmer convinced I am

that this decision is sound. However,

I would appreciate the opinions of

others, some, perhaps, who years ago

have made this same decision and have

had opportunity to observe the actual

results.





Stabilizing Bean {Prices





What Michigan Growers Can Do





i





HE Michigan bean crop this year



cannot exceed last, is the conclu-



sion of one of the largest hand-

lers in the state.



The writer, in company of several

neighbors and C. R- Detwiler of Idaho,

traveled over 500 miles through the

main bean growing counties and came

to the same conclusions. One other

survey was made by a beanman who

examined-142 fields and concurred in

the conclusions noted above.



There is a. discrepancy in figures

but not in facts as to the crop last

year. The carloa-d shipments indicate

a. crop of four and one—half million

bushels. It requires about 700 cars

for seed. This, together with dockage

and local consumption, makes up, the

5,094,000 bushels of oflicial estimates

for 1927. .



Crop estimates and figures are com-

parative but the buyer takes the

totals without the necessary deduc-

tions and hopes to carry the seller off

his feet with staggering statistics.

Solomon said in the' proverbs that

“It is naught, saith the buyer, and

when he has gone his way he boast-

eth.” It might be noted that Solo-





‘mon’s observations were made about





his own people who are credited with

being shrewd dealers.





The great crop damage is in the

largest yielding bean counties and the

percentage there bears heavily on the

total crop of the state. The damaged

area based on normal production pro-

duces two-thirds of the total crop.



Draw a line east and west on the

ShiawasseeSaginaw County line and

the damage from wet weather north

of this line is almost unbelievable.

Many fields were completely drowned

out while others, which could not be

cultivated, are a mass of weeds. The

beans will be late and difficult to

cure. Following in the wake of wea-

damage is blight and some

anthracnose. It is a tragedy to see

the crops in what is normally the

best agricultural territory in the

state. One elevator operator said

where he got thirty cars last year

he would not get five this season.



South of the line mentioned are

some excellent fields of beans—also

The crop may

be called normal in this portion of

the bean area.



New York’s pea bean crop is negli-

gible and dealers in that state around

Batavia and Albion are planning to

supply their trade from Michigan.



The great Northerns of Idaho will

not vary much from last year. The

acreage was larger but the crop did





.not, have as favorable start and the





“per wife will be 16“. '





(if. m in x





the U. S. will be somewhat less than .





last year.



In 1927 the price 'varied alm0st av

l1und1ed per cent. A few beans were

bought at $4.80 but $5.00 was the





general minimum and from that t0“

It was





almost $10.00 per hundred.

nothing uncommon for a car of beans

in storage to increase in value around

$1,000 and an acre in the granary,

$50.00.





This year there is no carryover.

The accretions of beans in July was





made up of part bag lots, the residue ,





over seed requirements.





The important question is the start» . ,





ing price for this year’s crop. Thirty

days ago the market was $6.50. That

is, any elevator operator who wanted

to sell for September or October de-

livery could get that figure and pay

$6. 00 to the grower.





Since that time futures have ad- ,

if any Michigan .-





vanced, with few

sales. The more general opinion is.

now that $7. 00 to the grower is 'a.

strong probability.





This hinges somewhat on Idaho

prices. The freight rate to Chicago

from Twin Falls is $1.05 per hundred-

weight. A six dollar price in Idaho

would mean $7.00 here. The Idaho

beans are held in pools to probably

seventy per cent of the total crop.

The need fordmmediate money may

take off one hundred cars of Idahos

before the market stabilizes itself:

with Michigan.



Prices of future deliveries have ad-

vanced in Idaho within the last few

days. If anyone wants to make some





   





easy money right now, Idaho beans





are a good investment. Already m

eral thousand bags have been bough

by Michigan dealers. , ‘

DETROIT, SEPT. 15, 1928





T the r e c e n t



hearings before



Farmers the f e d e r a 1 tariff

Versus commission, Ameri-

Importers can e g g producers





attempted to show,

from the findings of the government

investigators, that they were entitled

to an increase in the tarifi on eggs

and egg products. This was asked

for the purpose of protecting the do-

mestic producers against foreign com-

petition, particularly from China.



Now the importers, through their

well-paid counsel, are trying to rebut

the position of the producers by

filing abrief in which they maintain

firmly that the findings of the com-

mission’s investigators on production

costs in China and this country en-

titles them to a reduction in the duty

on eggs.



Similar situations have developed

in other cases where the tariff com-

mission’s figures on the differences in

production costs in this and compet-

ing countries, have been used. If the

findings of the government men can

be so widely construed, it would ap-

pear that this method of handling

tariff problems is a. poor one for giv-

ing the farmers adequate protection

against foreign competition.

matters. Were we to

voteon .what is our .most important

political issue in Michigan, people on

'the farms of the state, we believe,

, Would generally cast their ballot on

., the tax question. Present tax laws

work high injustice to the owners of

real estate, and this means farmers.

We need to campaign for a change or

a greater diversification in our tax

system.

When Michigan’s wealth was large-

ly in land, the general property tax

was fair. But now with land but a

pm portion at our total worth.

taxation on real estate cannpt be so

distributed that the burden of govern-

ment support will rest evenly on our

people.



In this matter, pioneer Work has

been ‘done in other states- Pennsyl-

vania, North Carolina, and California

levy no property tax. New York state

levies such a tax only for schools and

for state\debts. Ohio levies a state

property tax to pay its soldiers’ bonus.

"' scope in has withdrawn from state

taxation all real estate and personal

property, (3.1?etling these to be the

basis for local taxation.



The increane in the amount of in-

tangible forms of property has caused

much of our tax difficulties. These

forms of‘property are easy to keep

from the tax assessor. Consequently

some taxpayers are favored and

others are penalized. Those penalized

are the Conscientious, law-abiding

citizens.



Students of the tax question believe

that a new basis should be provided

for spreading the tax. burden. The

majority of these hold to the opinion

that personal income forms the fair-

est basis for tax distribution. The

income tax is not easily shifted to

some other party. Other ways of

working out a just system of taxation

possibly can be found. At any rate,

our next legislature should make a

dilligent study of Michigan’s most im-

portant political issue and start some

constructive plan for relieving those





'who are unjustly burdened with tax





demands.

HE M i c h i g a: n

The State Fair h a 5

just closed. In many

Sta-t3 respects it is a good

Fair show — much better





than former displays.

In- some departments a falling off in

exhibits is observed. As a whole,

however, much real progress is being

made.



The physical equipment of. the

Michigan State Fair compares favor-

ably with some of the best state fairs

of the country. Nor has any state a

greater variety of resources, and,

therefore, a better chance and, by the

same token, more need for putting on

a fair that faithfully represents a.

cross section of our varied industries.



It is our sincere hope, therefore,

that the Michigan State Fair will keep

on growing in the variety of state

interests it represents with studied

displays that will bring to both old

and young a clearer and broader

knowledge of What has been accom<

plished by her people in the way of

progress.





N a recent trip





The Old into eastern Can-

andthe ada, the writer

stopped at a typical



New old-time farm home-





stead in a good farm-

ing section. The house, with its high

ceilings and spacious rooms, was built

about seventy— five years ago The

furnishings of solid walnut and horse

hair upholstery bespoke of heritage.

The big brick oven in the kitchen was

reminiscent of early household activi-

ties. The whole home took one back

to ancestry.



The farm, thoughtwas well hus-

banded. Modern methods and natur.

ally good soil had made the farmer

successful. He had bought outthe

other heirs and was living a con-

tented life.





Here Was an odd mixture of the old"





and the new. While sleeping in solid

walnut beds under quilts of fantastic

designs hand made by grandmother,

one would awaken to the bank of the

automobile going along the concrete

road. The housewife was dissatisfied;

she wanted to discard the priceless





old furniture for the modern, comm,





bullt-for-a—day kind. How unbecoming





the new type furniture would look in





that stately old house.

A mu to this farm home lend III

to think of those who have z‘oM be





 





 





fore us, of how our present civiliza-





ences has been built upon foundations

laid by ancestors, often through the

greatest hardships. In Our rapid pro-

gress, it behooves us to stop occa-

sionally to think of these foundatidns.





, NUMBER of

WeCan-





years ago in the



t be town of Constantine

no there was a lad

Sure whom the neighbors





looked upon with

something of disfavor. They called

him a “daredevil” and, almost unani-

mously, predicted that he .would

“amount to nothing. Not long ago,

this same boy, grown to manhood,

with his good wife and daughter,

rolled into the old town in his private

car to attend its recent centennial

celebration.





Lynn McKee had climbed from the

very bottom of the ladder in railroad-

ing to general superintendent of the

Michigan Central system. Another

distinguished citizen of Michigan,

Henry Ford, started with the same

sort of resistance from the neighbors.



These men and many others have

succeedéd beyond the understanding

of the average person in spite of the

lack of sympathy and help from the

communities in which they lived. But

many promising boys and girls, un-

doubtedly, have had their lives nar-

rowed to the measure of the average

person because of community gossip.



A helpful, sympathetic community

spirit that interests itself in the dare-

devil boy as well as in the average

young person, is a most valuable in-

fluence in the development of strong

men and women. In this respect it

becomes a close second to the home.

It is fine that such‘a thing has

has been deprived in many cases

spend their vacation touring. The

latter is especially valuable, for there

is an education as well as a pleasure

in contact with wholesome people in

other walks of life.



There is a reciprOcal value in fur-

nishing accomodations for tourists.

The present popularity of auto touring

is affording thousands an opportdnity

ists. Farmers are marketing. their

figures of the, Department of Com‘

merce show that crops were marketed

during July in much larger. voulme

than in July, 1927.





Beef cattle producers are in strong

position, says the Bureau of Agricul-

tural Economics. Hogs are. cm the

upswing of a price cycle. This belief

is backed by a. considerable reduction

in the number of hogs in both the

United States and Europe. The dairy

industry is in relatively good shape,

with market milk prices at about the

highest level since 1920, with feed

prices easing off, and with cows at

very high values. Even the sheep in-

dustry is still doing well in spite of

all its expansion.



Marketing of cattle this fall is ex-

pected to be lighter than last fall.

The present active demand for beef

and consequently for slaughter cattle

is expected to exceed that of a. year

ago. Demand for stocker and feeder

cattle is expected to exceed that of

a year ago. No material change in

the present general cattle price level

is anticipated.

POOR RESULTS FROM NOT

TRAMPLNG SILAGE ‘





 





DURING the past three years there

has been much said about filling

silos without tramping. I understand

that our experiment station silos are

filled without tramping and that sev-

eral communities have been following

We are told that





been just as good as where ‘tramped





"in the usual way.





“Last year I decided to try out this





’plan in my own 10 by 34-foot silo with





18 feet of stone and 16 feet of

matched sta’ves. I filled about the

third week of September and corn

was in about the right stage, a large

but stalks were

green and had not been injured by

frost. I used a blower filler but no

distributor pipes, and kept the silage

dropping in the center of the silo.

When the silo was a little over half

full, the wind from the blower began

to drive the leaves towards the sides

of the silo, and this condition got

worse as the silo filled.



“I began feeding near the close of

November and found mold through all

the silage, the center being no better

than the rest. I expected it would

get better as I worked down, but the

whole length of the stave part was

about the same, more or less mold

clean across. This had never hap-

pened before. After working down

into the stone part some three feet,

the silage got good and continued so.





,Until I find the reason for this mold.





ing, I believe I shall continue to

.tramp my silage.”



It seems to me that this failure may

have been due to any one of three

reasons or a combination of them.

First, the silage may have been too





dry. In filling without tramping, it





‘is considered necessary to have the





silage .wetter than when tramping,

and water should have been run into

the blower so that when squeezed





'hard in the hand, water would drip





‘at the top.





from the silage. The stave part of

the silo may have leaked air which

penetrated into the middle of the

silage before it had time to pack,

while with heavy tramping it could

have caused only a little mold around

the outside. Or the silage may not

have been properly wet down and

tramped for six or seven feet at the

top and so was not sealed properly

I «wonder if the trouble

with the leaves driving towards the

sides of the silo could not be helped

to some extent by putting on a dis-

tributor pipe made of quarter inch

screening to allow most of the wind

to escape out at the sides so the sil-

age would drop of its own weight.—

HOW TO CLEAN A CONTAMIN-

ATED WELL





 





Have a 6—inch well with tile casing

in which the water has been spoiled

by mice falling in and wish to clean

it out and puiify it so I can use the

water.—J.



Such cases as this are common,

especially when rural schools are

opening up and the wells must be

cleaned up and the water made safe

and palatable. It would be possible

by properly treating the water with

chloride of lime to make the water

safe for drinking without danger of

disease, but no one wants to pick

pieces of dead mice and rats out of

his teeth. So about the only prac-

ticable thing is to dose the water

heavily to kill any possible disease

germs, then clean out and scrub the

walls.



First treat the water in the well

with chloride of lime to kill any dis-

ease germs which might be present.

As you do not give the depth of the

well, I would suggest that you secure

about three pounds of fresh chloride

of lime and mix it up in a tub full-of

water, and pour this into the well,

stirring it up carefully. Let this

stand a day or so, then pump out the

well as completely as you can, re-

move the pump ~and wash down the

casing with a brush wet with a‘strong

chloride of lime solution, and also

wash off the pump pipe. Then before

putting back the pump, you ought to

clean out the bottom thoroughly by

using a sand bucket, which is a heavy

bucket, the right size to slip down the

well easily and provided with a loose

bottom to let the water and mud in.

It closes when you lift it up.



Then make a worm-tight cover,

which you can do with concrete, put

in the pump and make it tight, and

you ought not to have any further

trouble. The water will probably

taste so strong of chloride of lime that

you cannot drink it for a few days,

but this will soon wear off.———I. W.

Dickerson.





KEEP LAUNDRY WASTE OUT OF

SEPTIC TANK





 





I am putting in a septic tank and

now have a 4—inch sewer pipe carry-

ing daily about five barrels of clear

water from milk house and once a

week the wate1 from the laundry.

Would it be alright to connect up the

bathroom and toilet and kitchen sink

to this sewer pipe and put the septic





tank at its end, or.should I put in a





new line for the septic tank?”—C. K.



I believe the best practice is to

keep your laundry water, milk house

wash water, basement flushing water,

and down spout water all out of the

septic tank, allowing nothing to go

into it except the bathroom and kitch.

en sewage, the latter first going

through a grease trap to remove as

much grease as possible. The milk

house wash water would not be so

bad, as it comes as regular intervals;

but as you say,-it is practically clear

water and needs no treatment. The

laundry water is often quite strong

with alkali and comes all at once,

both of which will interfere with the

proper bacterial action in the first

chamber of the tank.

There’s Joe Warner, for instance, not so

far out of Shippensburg. He fills up his

furnace with coal, turns his Clayton & Lam-

bert blow-torch on, and has his fire going

in a hurry!



Take Bill Hansen, near Neenah, for an-

other example. He has to run his truck

over some pretty rough country, and natu-

rally that shakes up the radiator and starts

it leaking. He puts his Clayton & Lambert

to work and you’d be surprised what a neat

soldering job he can do to that radiator.



We turned up so many uses for Clayton

& Lambert blow-torches we decided a list

of them would be mighty interesting. HOW

many of these uses 'do you make of your

blow-torch? You’ve got one, haven’t you?

Do you happen to know whether it’s a

N 61173 and Views

From INGLESIDE FARM—By Stanley. Pool/1





 





 





ELL, I certainly got quite a



V» load off my mind today. For



some time I’ve been troubled

over the fact that I was considerably

behind with my correspondence.

Again and again I've planned to catch

up on this letter writing, but always

something would come up to inter-

fere before I could get very far. So

this afternoon I gathered all the un-

answered inquiries into a suit box

and headed straight for a very. effi-

cient public stenographer in Ionia.

Her nimble fingers made strange

hieroglyphics .111. her notebdok and

later she transcribed them neatly on

her speedy typewriter.



Before little Ronald came to dwell

among us, wife was my very helpful

secretary, but how times .have

changed! Now it is almost impossible

to corral her in the corner at the

desk. I do considerable desk work

myself, but time and energy are not

unlimited.



I often long for hours of leisure to

read and meditate. Every day’s mail





brings many pages of reading matter





which it would take considerable

time to assimilate. There is the news

of the day, the farm periodicals, the

publications of the farm organizations

of which I am a member, the live

stock journals, the bulletins from the

M. S. C., the advertisements of im-

proved farm equipment, etc, .etc.

Then, too, there is our library full

of valuable facts and fascinating fic-

tion. Must I wait until I am old and

feeble ’before feasting on all these

stored-up good things?



In my last article I was bemoaning

the absence of our Ingleside tractor

from our oat stubble field. It.arrived

home Friday afternoon. It came, it

saw, it conquered, to use the old

phrase handed down from the R0-

mans. In less than a week, despite

various interruptions, the stubbles

were buried under fresh plow furrows

and the further fitting of the field

was in progress. -



.There’s no little thrill in. watching

the furrows flop over, while we work

steadily further away from the back-

furrow and closer to the place where

the" dead-furrow is to be. However,

there are other sensations besides

those of elation that come to the trac-

tor operator as the iron horse ambles

along in intermediate gear. We read

that President Coolidge has an elec—

trically—driven hobby horse that he

rides to shake up his organs and pre-

vent them from becoming sluggish.

No need of that luXury for the trac-

tor plowman! His “in’ards” have vi-

bration enough and to spare!



Our Duties as Citizens





I am writing this paragraph on the

evening—late eveningmof primary





committee of my party, I have spent

considerable time today attempting to

get out the vote in our bailiwick.

How interesting and how different





our various neighbors. Most of them

have taken the matter of their fran-

chise seriously and have evidenced a





. desire not only to vote, but to vote

intelligently and helpfully. Others have,

displayed discouraging lack of fami-V





liarity With the various candidates

and the principles of our government.



One citizen said that he wasn’t go-

ing to vote, and attempted to justify

his position, by the statement that "all

’the' candidates promise all sorts of

things for us, before they are elected,

but when they get in once, they fcrc

get all about us." ’

This afternoon I have attended a.

county convention of delegates from

subordinate Granges of Idnia

County, assembled primarily for the

purpose of electing delegates to. the

State Grange that meets at Cadillac

in October. The Grange is a gmnd

Pastures Are Luxuriant





Never do I remember a September

when we had a greater wealth of good

pasture. Our cows, steers, and sheep

are all in live stock paradises. Our

cows not only will not come up to

the barn alone at milking time, but

will not eat grain when they do get

here The wealth cf green feed is

largely traceable to the fact that this

season we have had frequent rains,

well spaced from the standpoint of

the grass.





Last Sunday we had some plentiful

rain storms and I couldn’t find any-

thing to complain about. We didn't

have any crop out that was worrying

us and there were so many things

that it was benefiting, such as ass.

ture, seedings, corn potatoes yes

and plowing, too. Usually when it

rains it hampers some phase of our

activity, though, of course, being of

benefit along other lines. 1 .



Although we didn’t have any alfalfa

hay out in the wet we did have two

loads setting on Wagons- on barn

floors, not unloaded because a couple

“day men" that had been helping us

pay back threshing debts had at-

tempted to» draw about two tons of

alfalfa and unload it with three slings.

The result was that the track was

pulled out of the peak of the barn.

It was sadly bent and'various attach-

ments were broken. I have the

wreckage down and the track straight-

ened‘and an order 'sent in for the

necessary repairs. '



We could have unloaded several

easier than to repair this

It’s ‘a pretty safe rule

in drawing hay, and doing some other

things, to “be medium.” Going to ex-

is thrilling, but frequently:

there are serious consequences in the

end.





 





A meeting of highway commissions

ers and others‘interested in the build-

ing of township roads was held re-

cently in Oceans County. L. J. Roth-

gery, engineering department of Mich-

igan State College, told those present

the advantages of Carrying out.‘ a.

definite plan of building ,1 permanent

township roads. The audience re-

quested Mr. Reth'gery to return to

bers of township boards would be

STANDARD WARRANTY FOR

PNEUMATICTCASINGS AND TUBES





“Every pneumatic tire of our manufacture bearing Our

name and serial number is warranted by us against de-

fects in material and workmanship during the life of.

the tire to the extent that if any tire fails because of

such defect, we will either repair the tire or make a

reasonable allowance on the purchase of a new tire.”





 





 





 





 





HIS broad warranty against tire defects, unllmited





as to mileage or time, is the most constructwe

guarantee of service ever offered the public.





 

 





HE tire industry has taken great steps forward In the past.





decade.





Tire quality has been improved immeasurably; tire prices have

been reduced to the lowest levels in history.





And now the industry has taken another great forward step.





The manufacturers of 95% of the tires made‘in the

United States guarantee tires bearing their names and

serial numbers against defects for the life of the tire.





What an improvement this 18 over the old days of the now out-

worn “definite mileage guarantee.”





The era of the mileage guarantee came to an end when users

realized that good tires are made of rubber and cotton—not

printed promlses.





They discovered that “there are no miles in a bottle of ink.”





They discovered that you cannot put mileage into tires by

written guarantees—it must be bu11t In. No mileage guarantee will

hold the tread to the carcass :— nothmg but craftsmanship does that.





Director General, THE RUBBER INSTITUTE, Inc.





—an association of manufacturers organized‘ ‘to promote in the

industry a mutual confidence and a high standard of business ethics;

to eliminate trade abuses; to promote sound economic business

customs and practices, to foster wholesome competition. .and thus

generally to promote the service of the industry to the public welfare.





They discovered that no mileage guarantee will toughen the rubber

or strengthen the cotton cord :—only the know-how of experienced

tire builders does that.





They discovered that no mileage guarantee will extend the life of

a tire to its utmost capaCIty:-—only good dr1VIng and care for your

tires does that.





On the other hand, car owners found that the definite mileage

guarantee had these failings—4 .





1 It benefited the driver who misused his tires and misrepresented his

mileage, at the cost of the honest and careful driver who did not

abuse his tires, and who was truthful 1n stating his mileage, or hon-

est in admitting he did not know his mileage.





2 It put a premium upon heedless driving by removing the penalty for

traveling with tires under—inflated or wheels out of line.





Its cost was a buried expense that bore on the user of the tires With-

out adding any commensurate value.





i





The first year follOwing the elimination of the definite mileage guarantee, over thirteen million dollars Was saved

by doing away With adjustments against neglect and abuse of the careless driver, and was put baCk into the product





forJhe benefit of all drivers alt/2e.





The industrysimply converted non-productive cost into good sound rubber and cotton.





Every user benefited





equ‘allygtire prices came down; tire quality went up. Today the American tire user is enjoying the lowest-cost tire miles





in the hisfory of the world.





The high, quality of present day tires has made possible the prevailing standard tire warranty, extending over the





life of the tire—the broadest and most constructive guarantee of service that can be written—a declaration that enables





the manufacturers of over 95% of the production in the country to stand squarely behind the quality and service-





ability of their prodgcts, as they wish to stand.

profits are never profitable partners. (Nick

Reinert, Willa, N. D., proved this statement true.

In small pens his pigs weighed only 150 pounds

after nine months’ feeding and hard work. In pas—-

tures they weighed 250 pounds at six months with

little work and one-third less feed. 41 % pounds

average gain per hog per month.) (Oscar and Lee

Patrich, Quincy, Ind., raised hogs in clover pasture

and made $517 .50 extra last year by getting to

market earlier.) (B. F. Hastings, Plainfield, 1a.,

lost 79 pigs from necro. The 11 saved cost $242.54

more to feed than what he got for them. He now

has hog-tight fence and clean lots.) (Pastures of

clover and alfalfa fattened 120 pigs up to 220

pounds each in seven months for I. R. Parkhurst,

Willa, N. D.) (J. R. Huether, Wessington, S. D.,

sold 100 alfalfa fed hogs for $2,500.00.) Only with

hog-tight fence are such extra profits as these

possible.

ings that they believe, one can hardly

wonder where all the monkeys or

orang—outangs come from. It may be

alright for some people to consider

Mrs. E. .A. N. speaks in comparison

"of the evolution of the automobile in

regard to the life and growth or ‘man.

Oh, how much- difference! So much

that comparison is most an impossi-

bility. Let the life-giving element

(the engine) of an automobile stop

and anyone can step on the starter

and away she goes with just as much

pep as ever. But let the life of a.

man stop and nothing but the power

of God could give him life again.



I note that Mrs. E. A. N. refers to

the Scriptures. She mentions the fact

that it says that the earth was void

and Without form. and that a. day is

as a thousand years with the Lord. I

wonder if she really believes this, and

yet cannot go a little further in the

Scriptures and believe that God made

man, which knocks- flat any belief

that teaches anything about the evo-

lution of the human body and soul.

It seems to me in this day that the

race is devolving instead of evolving.

This can be easily noticed in five

minutes’ time on any street corner

and also by the headlines of our news

papers. I wish to say to Mrs. E. A.

N. that evolution was not God’s great

plan but rather that it is nothing but

man’s foolishness. It is only'a theory

and not a fact. Man never evolves

but he is constantly devolving by sin-

ning against God—A. W.





 





A WIFE’S SOLUTION





 





NE can’t help wondering what



this neglected wife of the “real

thrifty farmer” did or neglected to do

when she first married and started

housekeeping. She should have as.

sorted herself before the thrill of

honeymoon days was over.



The only solution now is to “lie

dOWn on the job”'for a while. Take

the baby and go a-visiting. When she

returns, put the situation fairly before

her husband. If he still refuses, go

and“ get the necessities on credit. If

he still is contrary, leave him. He

will find it much easier to‘support

his family in a decent manner at

home, than to pay alimony; and-in

the end will have much more respect

for a woman, who has some lime in

her spine, than for one who, to him, is





little more than a. doormat.~A For-

tunate Wife.

Your

Idle Acres

Yield

. No Profit





ON YOUR farm are acres where stumps and

boulders are standing in the place of profit-

able crops. According to recent reports made by

the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, a

cleared acre. yields “about 45 bushels Of oats, or

30 bushels of barley, or 159 bushels of potatoes, or

9 tons of silage, or 2%; tons of hay.” Land values

and yield per acre as well as kinds of products

differ in various sections, but stumps and boulders

are found on nearly every farm in the country.

Every stump and boulder you allow to stay on

your farm cuts down its yield per acre and your

profits. The cleared acre is the profit-maker.





Land clearing can be done easily, quickly and

cheaply with AGRITOL—the explosive made for

land clearing by the du Pont Company.

best condition for stump blasting—does not spill

when wrapper is slit to ensure proper loading of

With an explosive like AGRITOL to blast

stumps and boulders, your cleared abreage and

more profitable and valuable.

SEPTEMBER IN THE VEGETABLE





GARDEN





 





THE active season in the vegetable

garden is drawing to a. close with

this month. We still have the bulk of

the harvest to gather but planting

operations will not take much of the

gardener’stime. About the only seed

to be planted in the open this month

will be radish. Select one of the

quick maturing kinds, such as Spark-

ler or one of the button type, for this

late crop.

For an extra early crop of green

onions next spring, seed of one of the

Globe varieties may be planted during

September. This seed should be

planted much thicker than is the case

in spring plantings. A severe winter

with little snow to protect the plants

may kill many of them and, when the

onions are to be used in the green

stage, thick planting can be used with-

out harmful results. A protection of

strawy manure should be given as

severe weather approaches. An extra

early crop of spinach may be enjoyed

if it is handled in the same manner

as that recommended for onions. If

the gardener doubts his ability to

bring a crop of seed onions through

the winter, let him plant the so—called

perennial tree onion. To my taste, the

perennial onions do not possess the

quality of those grown, from seed but

they have sureness of crop to recom-

mend them. They should be planted

quite deeply to insure ‘a long,

blanched stalk.

First Frosts



If tender vegetation can be carried

safely through the first heavy frosts

of fall, many crops will mature which

otherwise would be a total loss. The

first killing frests may be, and quite

often are, followed by several weeks

of good growing weather.



It is too early to store crops in the

cellar that are to be carried over win-

ter, but some temporary shelter may

be provided for the more tender crops.

It is a good plan to gather all the

winter squash and pumpkin that are

ripe and place them in small piles

where they can be covered if very

severe frosts threaten. The immature

ones which were left ,-on the vines may

be gathered carefully togther near the

center of the hill where they may be

covered when necessary.



The largest of the green tomatoes

should be gathered before frost spoils

them to be stored for later ripening.

A good method of doing this is to

wrap each one separately in paper

and store in a cool, dry cellar. If you

are careful that only perfect speci-

mens are handled, you should have

ripe tomatoes until late in December.



The Asparagus Bed



The asparagus, given plenty of fer-

tilizer, is one of the least exacting of

all the perennial vegetable crops but

a few things done well will add much

to its quality and productiveness. If

the bed was not well fertilized at the

close of the cutting season, it should

be attended to now. If it is conveni-

ent to clean the poultry house at

this time, the asparagus bed will ap-

preciate a good application, of the

Many gardeners recommend the use

of salt on‘the asparagus plantation.

F the forty-eight states in the



Union, all are engaged in tu-

~which makes this project a national

campaign in every sense of the word.

It is of interest to know, however,

that the north central and middle

west states are the real leaders in

this movement.





1 - During the month of June, 1928, out

of a total of 867,158 cattle tested in

the United States, 490,928, or more

than half of this total, were tested in

‘nine of the north central and middle

west states. Out of a total of 542

modified accredited counties in the

United States, August lst, 1928, 302

are in these nine states. In this con!

nection, it should be explained that

a modified accredited county is one

by the fact that until a few years ago

Texas Fever was prevalent in the

southern states. The high priced

pure-bred cattle imported from Enr—

ope years ago, which cattle brought

tuberculosis into the United States,

were not sent into the southern states

because they would die of Texas

Fever.



Next to North Carolina, the second

in ‘the total number of accredited

counties, is the state of Michigan with .

fifty-six accredited, August 1st, 1928,

out of a total of eighty-three counties

in the state. This is a real accom-

plishment because Michigan is a dairy

state in the north where tuberculosis

exists to a considerable degree, how-

ever, Michigan has less tuberculosis

in cattle than is being found in'New

York, the New England states, and a

few other states farther west. The

(which is the Sudanese for an Eng-

lish ofliCer) could load us, motorcycles

and all, into the trucks. But if he had

said so, Jim wouldn’t have traveled in

the convoy at all.



At three o’clock on the appointed

afternoon we started out on our last

‘dash to railhead. We were under the

protection of a British military con-

voy and the personal wing of Bim-

bashi Gawne. The Governor at El

Fasher, the Governor at El Obeid and

the Greek truck driver were all pull-

ing for us—but betting against us.





We made fifty-eight miles that first

afternoon after three o’clock. We

couldn’t keep in sight of the trucks

but when we caught up with our con-

voy about dusk, the captain’s boys

.had camp all made. This Bimbashi

traveled like all Englishmen. Eyen

on a trek like this he dressed imma-

fiillately all the time and carried all

',v‘comforts- of home including his

’fbath. tub, his wash stand, a full line

porcelain dishes, a

table "and chairs, and a folding bed.

A canvas rug covered the clean sandy

floor of the grass rest house and a

portable orthophonic phonograph was

sitting on a big box of records. He

carried a complete line of bottled

drinks. There were books and maga-

zines for us to read and the boy

brought warm water as a hint that

even we Would be expected to wash.

Water was usually so scarce with us

we never washed between oases—and

they were sometimes several days

apart—but this Englishman carried a

half-dozen ten gallon cans of water

right with him. We’d wash if we

trained with him.





HIS de luxe travel, with “boys”



to do all our camp work and cook-



ing, was a new one for Jim and

me. A half hour before daylight in

the morning, Ahmed would light the

captain’s gasoline lamp and bring us

warm water in the captain’s tub. By

the time we had crawled off of our

blankets spread out upon the sand,

rolled them up and tossed them into

the captain’s truck, a hot breakfast

was ready and served. At daybreak

Jim and I were off, and our convoy

was just beginning to stir. They car-

ried all our gasoline and luggage so

that we could travel light and easy as

possible in that deep, soft sand of the

lower Libyan Desert. By ten o’clock

our convoy had overtaken us, re-

filled our gasoline tanks and water

canteens and roared on ahead. By

the time we could catch up again, it

was noon and a good hot lunch was

ready for us on the captain’s table in

camp.





This handling of our commissary

was an especially great help in that

particular stretch of desert waste.

There were only two natural water

holes in the entire 300 miles between

El Fasher and E1 Naheed. Except for

the water carried in the truck, our

convoy depended upon a small sup

ply in a. locked military reservoir and

in those great hollow tibeldi trees

which the government maintains for

just such expeditions as ours. The

reservoir was simply a huge cistern,

cemented on the inside and filled by

handduring the wet season with

water that drained for miles around

into a low basin nearby.



The tibeldi trees are a- fortunate

provision of a most resourceful na-

ture. Great, gnarled, woody trunks

these are, producing a maximum of

sheer wooden bulk and a minimum of

green trimmings and branches, on a

minimum of rainfall and climatic en-

couragement. We called them leprosy

trees before we learned their name

because they remind one, in that land

of lepers, of those wretched victims





t'h N 'I '



of the ancient disease, standing about

in solitude. The stubby branches of

the tibeldi trees look like the horrible





stubs of a. leper’s toes, or the stump

of his infected arm.





M ANY of these huge, squatty trees

are hollow and thus become na-



tural wooden water tanks, cap-

able of holding thousands of gallons

of water with little evaporation or

leakage. One of these trees is a very

precious possession to whatever fam-

ily of black Sudanese happens to own

it and operate it. The wives and

slaves laboriously gouge out the

ground about the tree during the dry

season and level the surface into a.

basin sloping toward the tree. This

dirt is carried away in calabashes and

ridged up in a circle to form mud

from the eastern coast. Ahead of us

stretched those rails that led across

the 'Vast valley of the Nile and the

mountains of the Red Sea coast. That





night we went down to the station to '





watch the train come in, and no wide-

eyed son of the desert, starring for

the first time in his slife at the snort-

ing little monster in black and brass,

got more thrills per snort out of that

locomotive than did Jim and I. Not

a single bewildered Sudanese, black

as the shadows in which he trembled,

watched with keener interest than I

the take-off of that train. We could

walls for the tank. If the ground

close to the trees is too sandy, black

dirt or clay may be carried for miles

to surface this catch basin and pre-

vent as much leakage as possible.





As water collects in this basin, it

is dipped up in goat-skin buckets, mud

and all, and poured into the natural

wooden standpipe. A c'ouple of

wives squat on a big limb high up in

the tree, lower their buckets into the

pool below and thus draw up the

water, hand under hand, to be saved

in the tree against the long dry sea-

son ahead. We were there during the

dry season and saw the other side of

the story. We saw the precious water

doled out by these same black

wrinkled wives and the charge as-

sessed at so many Egyptian piastres

for a herd of goats or so much for a

camel caravan. It is significant of

these Egyptian Sudanese and their

failure to advance beyond the civili-

zation of their famous ancients that

they still draw the water in leather

skins up to the top of this standpipe

and then as laboriously lower it down

again to the ground just as they did

a thousand years ago. It occurred to

Jim immediately, and to me five min-

utes later, that a lot of labor could

be saved if a hole were cut in the

tree near the bottom of the reservoir

and the water allowed to run out

through some kind of a 'tube that

could be opened and closed, like a

faucet.





“Why don’t they use their heads in-

stead of their backs and hands so

much?” Jim asked Bimbashi Gawne.

“Why lift that water twenty feet and

then lower it down again? Why not

let it run out, like we would?”





“If yau had as many wives and as

little water as that old black boy

there,” replied the English captain,

“you’d rather let ’em work than to

use your head thinking. Besides,

somebody might open up the faucet

some night and then this neighbor-

hood would have to move. Just as

well let ’em work as they've been

doing for the last few thousand

years.”





E drove the 300 miles to El Na-

heed in three days over the

Governor’s impossible roads and

from there on into El Obeid we made

even better time. The evening of the

fourth day we ‘chugged across the

sandy lots of town and welcomed as

a thing of life itself the hot steel rails

spite of the usual pessimistic advice

about the road into Khartown, 500

miles away. -



For the first few miles we began

to think the advice was right. The

sand was deep and there was no road.

When the sand. was too deep, we





would drive right upon the right-of-'





way, bumping along over the ties, and

finally when the sand on the railroad

bed itself became too deep, we would

lift our two motorcycle wheels onto

the steel rail itself and try to hold

them there with the side car wheel

the easier it was to stay up on the

smooth steel raiLx I. Eventually, of

course, we'd fall off. Then it was lift

ourselves back up and zip away

again.





EVENTUALLY a station. No excuse

for one, nothing to be loaded or



unloaded except some gum arabic

or a tank car of water, but every few

hours we’d find a neat little mud sta-

tion and section house daubed onto

the desert beside the track. The ex-

cited station master would rush out

to rub his eyes, and his wife would

rush out to bring a brass pot of tea

which she’d serve to us in glass cups

with mint leaves, tinned milk, and a

real gum arabic smile. At night we’d

sleep in a section house or on the

station floor, and then‘dash on in the

morning. ‘





Aside from the military‘ value of

this railroad that reaches out into the

heart of the Sudan, it is the doorway

to the great caravan trails from the

west. Dates from the oases in the

arid north and gum arabic from Dar~

fur come down from the backs of

countless camels in caravan to rush

to «the seaboard on the rolling goods

van of the Sudan railway. Guant and

footsore cattle finish their long, long

trek in El Obeid. ,They have marched

hundreds of miles along sandy, desert

bitten trails and still have a thousand

miles by rail to Wady Halfa 0n the

Nile or nearly as far to Port Sudan

for export on the Red Sea route.

From these ports they still have hun-

dreds of miles of transport before

they finally reach the slaughter

houses in Cairo or Alexandria. It

costs $20 to transport a bull from El

Obeid to Cairo, and as high as 40,000

head have been exported in a year.





Stabilizing Bean Prices





(Continued from page 248)





too low but on the other hand the

$1.75 duty per hundredweight allows

them to come in only when the price

is high here—under practically the

same conditions as to crops. Last

year, foreign beans did not come in

largely until the price of Michigan

beans at seaboard was over $10.00.



The total excess of imports of

beans over exports since 1921 has not

exceeded 500,000 bushels or less than

the total normal crop of one of our

large bean growing counties. Saginaw

and Shiawassee Counties produced

more beans in 1926 than the total of

imports last year.





Michigan can have a $7.00,minimum

price for beans if there is team work

at home and with Idaho. The latter

state credits the action of the Mich«

igan bean commission to have ad-

vanced their market to an approxi-

mate parity in 1927. The great nor-

thern prices have been, as a rule, out

of line with Michigan on a lower price

scale and this condition irks them

most naturally.



The favorable conditions in Mich-

igan are the facts of last year, with

growers willing to hold and the deal-

ers willing to buy for an advance.

Each in a sense are dependent on the

other. Forcing the market on the

selling end and dilatory tactics of can-

ners lower the price. The crop con-





dition and insistence of growers have

made the selling of Michigan futures

precarious.



Governor Green is thoroughly com<

mitted to a fair price for the growers

and has asked the writer, as chairman

of the old Committee, to take the

initiative in calling a meeting of the

bean industry. Barring the possibil-

ity' of Some changes, this will be at

Owosso September 15.

There are no fees nor credentials.

IF a smooth-looking "slicker”

offered you seed corn or seed

oats, or seed wheat at a ridicu-

lously low price— _



—and told you it would save you

money and increase your crops—-

would you believe him? Of course

not. You know that the only kind of

seed worth planting is the best seed.



That same thing is true of paint.

”Cheap” paint, selling at a low

price per gallon, seems to be eco-

nomical. But it isn’t.



It is "cheap” only because it is

made "cheap.” It can’t be made of

fine materials and sell at a lowprice.

The makers would soon go out of

business. And poor materials can’t





do a good job.





What is Paint Economy?

To be economical a paint must have

great covering powers—wonderful

durability—and long-lasting colors.



Only superfine materials which

are costly— a scientifically "bal-

anced” formula—and skillful man-

ufacturing can produce these three

qualities.



Fine old SWP House Paint is

made that way. It may cost slightly

more in the can—BUT—it costs

less on the wall.



For every 11 gallons of ”cheap”





paint, only 7 gallons of SWP are

required. That’s a difference of 4«

gallons. F igiireit up and you’ll find

that SWP Hailse Paint costs about

the same as "cheap” paint by the job.



Then consider durability. SWP

insures you good service on the wall

for many years without repainting.

"Cheap” paint soon begins to chip

—— peel —— chalk

——fade. Inside of

only five years

you will pay out

two to five times

your original cost

for repainting.





Fine old SWP





 





The ballyhoo of the

"unknown”canvasser

is usually "cheap” saves that heavy





expense for you.





The “Master Touch”





You may hear arguments as to

formulas—meant to lead you astray.



But remember this: The SWP

balanced formula has been openly

printed for years. Yet the char—

acteristic qualities of SWP have

never been duplicated.



A good formula is useless without

fine materials. Fine materials are

useless without a good formula.

And even a good formula and fine

materials will not produce a paint

to equal SWP without the "Master

Touch” of Sherwin-Williams scien-

tific experts. All three are needed.



When you see a "cheap” paint

attempting to copy our formula'

—remember that "off-grade”

materials can be used with any for-

mula. Don’t be misled. And remem-

ber, too, that the vital element in

SWP, the "Master Touch” of the

great paint scientists who make it,

is an ingredient that can never be

successfully copied. It is the spirit

of Sherwin-Williams.





Use the best paint

and save money





Before you paint your house or

buildings again see "Paint Head-

quarters”——the local Sherwin—Wil-

liams dealer. Get his material esti-

mate on SWP. Compare it with

what "cheap” paint will cost you.

YOUR FENCE stands

guard night and day, rain or

shine, every day in the year.

Not any farm equipment

works more steadily; none

deserves more thoughtful

selection and construction.





The need for good fenc’

ing has greatlyincreasedwith

the newer systems of farm»

ing. Hog sanitation as it is

understood today, requires

that the animals be kept out

in the fields, away from the

barn and the old feed lot.

Each year the herd must be

moved to a new clean field.





This system of sanitation,

with hogging down of paS'

ture and other crops, is the

basis of profit in hog raising.

Tight fencing is the begin—

ning of the whole system.





.: «awrwrcvwww smaL r i .w.::j.;n;;,~'.-_~' ‘ = ’T:..'I':‘IZ’.‘.





You pay the cost of good

fencing whether you have

the fence or not. Labor

saved in hogging down a

crop, the extra ear of corn

here and there that would be wasted, the

half dozen runty pigs suffering from worms,

these little items soon amount to enough to

make a substantial payment on the cost.





Think of your fence as a piece of working

equipment that will earn you money if you

give it a chance. Then when you buy feno

ing, buy it with full appreciation of what you

are going to expect in the way of service.





 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Depend on Fence Advertised in This Publication





THE (WAY TO SAVE

MONEYon fencing is to buy

the best quality. Here’s’why.

One of the heavy costs of a

fence is the labor of putting

it up. If you have to do it

over again every few years,

the cost runs high. It is more

economical to put up good

wire, on good posts, and then

not have to touch it for

many years.





You can buy fence wire

made of cheap steel skimped

on gauge and washed with

a thin coat of galvanizing,

and think you are saving

money. But when this wire

stands a little while it begins

to rust, and instead of econ-

omy you have an expensive

job that must be done all

over again.





The slight extra invest—

ment in quality fence wire

will pay big interest. Such

quality wire as made today

is full gauge, strong, and

much less subject to rust. The outer coating

is put on tightly and thickly, and will not

crack at the joints. '





To get wire of this quality you must trust

the manufacturer. But be sure you trust the

right one. Fence manufacturers who adver—

tise in this paper are tried and true. Their

trade marks mean good faith, sound mate

rial, good workmanship and true economy.

. WHY DO THE EYES WATER?





 





NE of my friends is greatly an-

noyed because his eyes water

so easily, especialy in cold,

snappy weather, or in a rude Wind.



“My vision is just as good as

yours,” he insists. “I hate to put on

glasses if it isn’t really necessary. I

don’t think I am abusing my eyes in

any way. Why should I have this



, ' - ‘old man’s' trouble?"



There are two factors to consider

in-.the matter of watery eyes. One is

the activity ofvthe glands, the other,

and perhaps more important, is the

condition of the passage or duct that

carries the flow away from the eyes.

We .must remember that tears are

constantly being produced although

we do not notice them unless emo-

tion or some other influence makes

them to be produced in such volume

that they overflow. However, we

should be in bad case if we had no

tears at other times, for they are

needed every minute to lubricate the

eye surfaces and wash away any dirt

or dust that seeks to collect on them.

The tear ducts that lead from the eye

into the nasal cavity usually carry off

the tears so readily that we are not

conscious of them. But in very cold

weather the ducts undergo sufficient

temporary contraction to cause them

to fall down on their job. This and

the increased activity of the lachry-

mal glands explain the common phen-

omenon of watery eyes on a wintry

morning. ,



In old persons it is not uncommon

for the ducts to becomepartly or en-

tirely blocked which gives the

“watery eye” of age and if left unre

paired becomes the “bleary” eye.

When stoppage of the tear ducts oc-

curs, it is necessary to consult an

oculist, who can usually open them

and make them serviceable. If you

cannot go to an oculist, try your local

doctor. A wash of warm boracic acid

solution will make the eyes feel bet-

ter, but to get real relief the tear

ducts will have to be opened.

The finding of tuberculosis germs is

absolute evidence of tuberculosis; it

is also evidence that the case is well

advanced and the lung tissue break-

ing down, for that is when the germs



.appear. But there may be other evi-

dence when this is lacking. A clever

doctor can diagnose the disease be-

fore this advanced stage, and if he is

a reliable man who has had a good

chance to observe your case you

would better take his word for it and

be thankful that you are in a curable

stage of the disease.

Our Weekly Sermon

church in Corinth. After he went



away, however, he heard some re-



ports which disturbed him. and he

wrote at least two letters to the peo-

ple there, and probably three. The.

one letter has been lost, although we

may have a part of it embedded in the,

second letter to the Corinthians,

These two little New Testament books

contain some of the great passages of

the New Testament. For instance,

the chapter on ‘love,’ which every’

church member who has any self re-

spect Ought to know by heart; the

chapter just before it on spiritual

gifts; the chapter on the resurrec-

tion; the»passage in whiéh Paul tells

of his own experiences as a travel—

ling minister of Christ. These little.





PAUL had established a strong





books contain'a‘grip'and a heart-beat





that can be felt. Though small, they

are big. They radiate light and pow—‘





er, which is the work any properly

built dynamo is supposed to do. And

the New Testament books are dyna-

mos.



For one thing, Paul urges his Cor-

inthian friends not to have divisions

among themselves. No use what-

ever, he says, of one group naming

itself after Apollos, another after





Cephas, another after Paul. Divisions





get no where, and, besides, all of us

‘have but one Master, and He is not



Paul or Apollos or C'ephas, but the



Master Christ. Alas! Paul’s urgent



word was not heeded in those early



days, nor has it been in our time. It

seems at times as if the church has

been most proud of her divisions. Up

to a few years ago when a man be-

came a leader in religion, the way in

which he signalized his love for God

was to start a new sect, and, as a

result of these church—planting zeal-

ots, we have something like two hun-

dred different church branches and,

sects in the United States, and many

more in Europe. This separating ten—

dency has been of vast injury to the

cause of religion, and has Weakened,

the church to a degree that no _one'

can estimate. Towns are to be found

of a thousand population with twelve

churches. Sometimes there will be

two branches of the same denomina-

tion in the same town. It is no won-

der that the missionary cause in forr

eign lands ‘has suffered grievously,

when backed by such a divided army,

at home. Travellers- tell of meeting

.American Dutch Reformed Chinese'



Christians in China or English Wes--

leyan Christians in India. If Paul’s

kindly warning had only been heeded!



Today the tendency is the other

way. We are wondering how we can

bring our many—branched Christianity

together again. And we are making

some headway, tocr. Canada has

brought the Presbyterians, Metho-

dists, and Opngregationalists together

into the United Church of Canada,‘

and the very name is a name of

strength. A year ago the writer

crossed over into Canada at Sault

Ste. Marie. As we drove up a broad

street there stood at the end a large

stone church, and on it in well-painted

letters, “United Church of Canada.”

Underneath in smaller letters was

painted, “St. Andrews Congregation."

That impressed the traveller much

more than to have seen the words,

“First Presbyterian Church,” or “First

Methodist Church.” At least so it

seemed to us. 'We are seeing the er-

ror of the ways of the fathers, who

delighted to organize new sects. If

we are brothers, let us be brothers,

- and present a united front to a doubt-

ing world.



Leaving that part of Paul’s letter,

we find other good things. His chap-

ter on gifts is one to read and re-

read. Are you a bit jealous over an-

Sometimes New Equipment is Justified~





Backaches, Tired Feet, and Ill Temper are Results of Using Old Equipment

By Mrs. D. W. McCray





HERE comes a time in every

woman’s life, when she needs

new equipment for the kitchen.

I have a friend who is cooking with

a. worn—out, rusty, abominable oil-stove.





, It never was good, and now it is





worse. She wastes heurs coaxing? the

burners to burn; cleaning the thing,

and waiting for the kettle to boil. She

has an old, useless refrigerator and

her cupboard shelves are filled with

ugly, nicked dishes. If she could af-

ford no better, we would not criticise.

But her husband has just bought a

new car, and lost $600 in a bad in-

vestment in public utility bonds. He

takes her at her word, and when she

insists she does not need a new stove,

he does not buy her one.



Why sit calmly by, watching him

buy a’ touring car, radio, and a trac~

tor, while you fuss and fume with a

range that will not get hot enough

for cookies? It takes tact, of course,

and the salesman who sells him the

radio has it. But why not cultivate

a little diplomacy yourself, when

what you want is really worth while





 





Mere Do Equipment

Dollars Go?





DDING new equipment is



most always a problem. It

is difficult to determine just

what will save the most steps

or make daily household tasks

just a bit easier. With some.

housewives it is, also, a ques-

tion of saving time. In fact,

every housewife solves her

home equipment problem' just a

bit different than her neighbor

for we find no two homes

equipped exactly alike.



In order to help each other

in our common equipment

problems, let us exchange some

of our experiences along. this

line. It is often that some inex-

pensive piece of equipment will

save as many steps or back-

aches as an expensive piece.

In your letter tell about the

equipment that has proved the

handiest anywhere about your

house. .



A small piece of equipment

that is handy on baking day

letters are published. Address

The Icebox



My refrigerator holds the ice very

well, making it last much longer than

the old one. The insulation is better.

The doors 'shut very tightly, with

catches that always catch. A mere

push with the fingers shuts the doors

snugly. The lining is porcelain

enameled iron, seamless, with corners

rounded so that they never catch dirt.

It is wiped out as quickly as the

enameled table top.



The Kitchen Cabinet



There are times when chickens, gar-

den, hou-secleaning, sewing, or Christ-

mas presents use up a person’s sur-

plus energy. Then the meal prepara-

tion must suffer. But if you can sit

on a comfortable stool, within reach

of every ingredient needed for ginger-

bread, you are likely to intrigue the

family With its spicy odor. A kitchen

cabinet assembles everything needed

for mixing, beating, and combining

foods, so you don’t have to walk to

one corner of the kitchen for a bak-

ing tin, to the pantry for flour, and

farther yet for. baking powder and

spice.



A kitchen cabinet takes less space

than built-in shelves, though you may

prefer them in your kitchen. It gives





you a working surface, and a way to

infects all bacteria or minute organ-

isms which may fall into it.



Beekeepers know that if honey is

placed in a barrel that is not thor-

oughly dry, it will so absorb. the

moisture that the seams may open

and the honey run out. This char-

acteristic of honey has increased its

desirability as a food. Even with the

utmost care, there is danger that a

food may come in contact with in-

jurious organisms but if this should

happen to honey, no harm will come

to the consumer, for the honey will

absorb the moisture in the bacterium,

and they cannot live.





TOPPING KITCHEN TABLE





 





ABLE tops suffer more hard treat-

ment than any other part of the

Often they are

regarded as the place for any sort of

job—,grinding meat in a food chopper,

cutting bread, shredding cabbage,

holding hot pans and irons, and even

for cracking nuts with a hammer.

When the table shows the effects .of‘

such abuse, the blame is often put on

vants for years if we but suit the

deal of heat. However, it may be

chipped by knocks or by screwing the

food chopper to it.



Waxed linoleum, a substantial and

inexpensive table cover, give excel-_

lent wear unless it is cut or burned.



Zinc covered tables stand up well

under hot utensils but must be kept

free from washing soda and acids.

Both acids and alkalis react with zinc

and rapidly destroy it.



Tables with wooden or oilcloth tops ,

suffer mainly from cuts and scorching

from hot pans. Grease spots on wood

also cause trouble. They may be re-

moved only by vigorous scouring.

warm water. The most effective

method is to stretch the stained part

over a bowl and pour the boiling

water on it from a teakettle held at

a little height so that the water

strikes the stain withforce. 1.



After the stains have dried they

are more difficult to remove. Peach

stains and those from dark red or

purple fruit are the most permanent.

Soap or other alkaline substance often

sets these stains. Stains on cotton or

linen can be bleached with Javelle





'water and boiling in equal quantities.





Immerse the stained portion, allow-

ing it to soak for a few minutes and

then rinse thoroughly in boiling water.

This process is especially good for ,

peach stains.



Fruit stains are more difficult to re-

move from silk or wool fabrics. If

the material is white, oxalic acid so-

lution or borax and ammonia may

prove effective.

Education is fundamentally need-'





In the first place, with an educa-

all your life just to eke out‘an exis:

you have an education you get to a

that you do not feel inferior. when

Dear Unc and Cousins: <



. Who says man is civilized? He

isn’t! He never will be until people

are honest and clean minded. As long

as people keep robbing and killing

each other we must refrain from us-

ing the word “civilized.”



I saw a photo in the paper the other

day, it was a corridor in Jackson

prison and, honestly, it reminded me

of a zoo with wild animals caged up

and guarded. Only this “zoo” didn’t

have wild animals; it had wild men

and women who weren’t satisfied with

their daily routine so they did some

robbing or murdering, and they are

guarded by their own brother man!

Why must they keep murdering and

robbing each other? Didn’t everybody

descend from Adam and Eve (or was

it monkeys)?



I think those who believe We de-

scended from a monkey don’t use

their heads. That’s all that matters

with them! ’Cause if we descended

from monkeys, would we put them in

every zoo, fair, and circus to be seen

and laughed at? Ha! Ha! We sure

are proud of “our ancestors” eh?



Well, I’ll be going. See you again.

Sincerely—Mystery Girl, M. C.



Don't you think that you are a lit-

tle hard on Eivilization? The condi-

tions we have show that our civiliza-

tion has not reached perfection yet.

When we think of our state of living

we must also think of the millions of

fine folks now living; they greatly

outnumber the bad ones.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I believe in evolution. Still some

don’t believe in that; for instance,

the one who said that it was impos-

sible for men to originate from apes.





I read in a science book that there'





was an indication that men had tails.

This is at the lower end of the human

backbone. There are six extra bones

or vertebrae which are separate in

the babies but fuse together in later

life into two solid bones. They are

useless to us and are buried in the

flesh so they can be seen only by X-

rays. Scientists believe these are

what is left of tail bones. The argu-

ment of evolution was started a while

ago and is still kept alive—Arthur

Schrank. .



Yep are the first of many arguers

to give this evolution viewpoint. ' It

shows that you-have been doing some

reading. . ‘ '

Here’s my idea of dancing——it’s sil-

they went to dancing and had a. good

most localities hatcheries were over-





This is

loaded with early chicks.

evident in the action of





hatcheries in pledging themselves to





hold down their 1929-32 hatches to or-

ders in hand plus ten per cent based

on a fifty per cent hatch up until

March fifteenth. Last year what

really appeared to be a. surplus of

chicks was really a too early produc-

tion. Buyers were not ready and the

cry of over production went up. There

was really no over production but, a

very ill-timed production which was

costly to the producers.



Prices for early broilers were com-

paratively low, due considerably to a

lack of demand and to the fact that

hatcheries and others were trying to

get out from under as rapidly as pos-

sible due to limited brooding facili-

ties and to high feed costs. One

general farmer in my neighborhood

who brought off a considerable num—

ber of February and early March

chicks expecting to sell them as

babies, found almost the entire lot on

his hands. These were marketed just

as soon as they weighed a pound and

three quarters and this same condi-

tion prevailed in practically every

community where chicks are hatched.

There is no wonder prices for this

lightweight stock was dangerously

near the cost of production level.



This condition is bound to show in

egg revenues during the early winter

and fall. Personally, I am against

prophecies as a matter of principal

and hesitate to make any prediction

on my own account. ~ But it is just a

matter of common sense and past

experience to admit that these late

hatched pullets seldom get the care

necessary to bring them into produc-

tion when egg prices are best. In

fact, in far too many cases, they do

not get into a profitable production

until late in the winter.



In the light of these things, then it





_ certainly behooves us to give these





later hatches, all hatches in fact, the

care, feed,- and necessary attention to

have them in production if possible

without wasting the period of best

prices in early winter.



One of the main retarding influ—

ences is lack of sanitation and over

crowding. Give them plenty of clean

house room and plenty of room on

the perches. Keep them free from

parasites both external and internal.

Sanitation and occasional applications

of sodium fluoride, bluebintment, or

a good louse powder will take care of

the former while internal parasites

will not have a chance if the range is

clean, if the feed is wholesome and if

house conditions are kept right.



Plenty of protein is necessary in the

ration to ‘bring these pullets into a.

proper maturity but it should “not be

placed in the' ration at the expense

of other food elements. It is very

necessary thafiullew go into winter

quarters in a. well plumped out condi-

tion—fat rather than otherwise. An

over fat hen may not lay but under-

fed pullets are a total loss as far as

egg production is concerned.



While poultry products promise

well for the coming winter and fall,

culling should go on as always. A

larger proportion of older, hens may

be profitably kept, on many farms

where egg production has been

brought to. a. high standard and where

pullets give small promise of being

Good tools are needed on

every farm, for there is always

something that needs fixing.

With the right tools you can

do most any sort of a job,

quickly, neatly and with but

little cost. They always pay

for themselves, for you can re-

pair things that would other-

wise often have to be replaced

at a considerable cost.





It does not pay to buy cheap

tools. Get the real mechanics’

kind. They give you so much

better service, last so much

longer and are so much easier

to work with that you will be

more than glad to pay the

small‘,extra difference in cost.

The best way to pick out good

tools is to come to a “Farm

Service” Hardware Store.





With our knowledge of tools

we pick the dependable brands

and are not misled by fancy

finishes or bright packages,

and so can assure you the best

of quality at the lowest possi-

ble price. Come in and look

over the ones you need.

' A CONSISTENT HERD





 





HE leading butter-fat producing



herd in Michigan among the 2,125

herds reported out of 85 Michigan

herd, improvement associations be-

longs to O. J. Becker, member of the

Ingham-Lansing D. H. I. A.



Becker’s herd stands supreme in

the matter of efficient butter-fat pro-

duction per cow tested. As a result

of four years’ continuous testing, this

herd of pure-bred and grade Hol-

steins and grade Guernseys and Jer-

seys averaged 566 pounds butter-fat

and 13,163 pounds milk. The average

test for the year was 4.3%. Mr.

Becker uses a pure—bred Holstein herd

sire.



Due to the extremely high quality

production of the herd, six retests





Indiana is fourth with forty ac-

credited counties. Most of the tuber-

culosis in Indiana is found in the

northern counties,‘ the south half of

the state being comparatively free

from this disease. The expense, there-

fore, in Indiana has not been heavy,

and the completion of the entire state

will not require more than a few

years. .





Kansas is fifth with a total of

thirty-five accredited counties. This

state is far enough south and west

to make the task of cleaning up all

counties comparatively light. Most

of the tuberculosis in Kansas is found

in the eastern counties in the

northern half of the state. Western

counties, in the so-called semi-arid

district, are comparatively free. In

Kansas the indemnity is paid by the

were made by the tester, Leslie Wil-

cox, in addition to the twelve regular

tests conducted during the year. In

commenting about the excellent pro-

duction of this herd, the tester, Wil—

cox, stated that Mr. Becker was ex—

ceedingly prompt and regular in the

milking of the herd. Most _of the

Cows were milked but twice per day

except immediately after freshening

when three times a. day milking was

practiced for several weeks.



Mr. Becker has a ninety-three acre

farm at Okemos, Michigan. He has a

seeding of alfalfa and has also used

sweet clover. Silage has been a regu-

lar part of the ration together with

these roughages. The grain feeding

consisted chiefly of corn and oats sup-

plemented with a 32% commercial

dairy feed. ’



Aside from being the pwner of the

leading herd for all of Michigan dur—

ing the past year, Mr. Becker has had

Association for three years and every

year he has been under test his herd

butter-fat production.





‘LEADS DAIRY STATES





 





(Continued from page 251)

a county undertakes area testing, a

special countylevy is made and this

is usedyto supplement federal and

state appropriations for this purpose.

During the month of June, 1928, Iowa

tested a total of 62,699 cattle of which

number 909 reacted. During the same

month, Michigan tested 64,310 of

which number 399 reacted. It is bare-

ly possible that with the Iowa fund of

approximately one million dollars per

year, this state may catch 'up with





 





Michigan in the number of accredited





   





counties but the operating expense is

paid for largely out of state funds.



Nebraska is sixth with twenty-nine

accredited counties. Thefc'ohditions in

Nebraska are similar to those in Kan-

sas, though Nebraska, being somewhat

farther north, has a higher percentage

of- reactors, making the project more

costly. The greater part of the badly

infected counties in Nebraska have

already been tested and accredited.



Wisconsin is seventh with twenty-

eight accredited counties. Unlike Ne-

braska, most of the accredited coun-

ties in Wisconsin are in that section

of .the state where the infection from

tuberculosis has been lightest; these

are the more northern counties, into

which fewer importations were made

during earlier years. Next to the

state of New York, Wisconsin has

been spending the most money on

tuberculosis eradication, because of

the value of the dairy cattle industry

in that state and the rather high per-

centage of reactors in the southern

counties. Wisconsin, during the month

of June, tested by far more cattle

than any other state of the union:

3. total. of 187,343. The cleaning up

of tuberculosis in Wisconsin as in

other dairy states is of the greatest

importance, not only from the health

standpoint but because a substantial

premium is being paid by the eastern

buyers on dairy cattle produced in

accredited counties.



North Dakota. is eighth with twenty-

seven accredited counties. Cattle in-

fection from tuberculosis is relatively

light in North Dakota because fewer

foreign importations have gone into

; lion, it does have a very high per- 4

centage of tuberculosis infection in "





poultry, as indicated by the number

of hogs retained for tuberculosis from

North Dakota.



Ohio is ninth with twenty-four ac-

credit-ed“ counties. -As in the state of

Indiana, only the northern counties in

Ohio are badly infected with tubercu-

losis. Ohio had a late start and has

had many difliculties to encounter,

but excellent progress is now being



Illinois is tenth with twenty accre-

dited counties. The expense has been

very heavy in Illinois because of the

high percentage of reactors found in

the counties tributary to Chicago.

The Chicago milk ordinance, which re-

quired that all milk consumed in that

city must come from federal or state

tested herds, has caused a large num-‘

ber of farmers in the badly infected

districts to submit their herds for the

tuberculin test. In some of these

counties it seemed like an almost im-

possible task to'eradicate tuberculo-

sis. Suflicient progress has already

been made to give positive proof that

even these badly infected counties

can eventually be freed from tubercu-

losis. The southern counties in Illin-

ois are comparatively free. A late

start was made in the state, but the

work has been advancing very rapid-

ly during the past two years.



The effect of this great volume of

testing, particularly in the north cen-

tral and middlewest states in the past

ten years, has had a marked effect in

reducing tuberculosis, not only in

breeding cattle, but in market cattle

as well. In the early stages of the

campaign, four per cent on an average

of all the breeding. cattle tested re-

acted. During the month of June,

1928, only one and seven—tenths per

cent of all the breeding cattle tested

in the United States reacted. The

average for the entire year just closed





- was below two per cent. The removal





of this vast number of tuberculous

cattle from the country has removed

the cause of tuberculosis in steers

and other market cattle. Statistics

from the Division of Meat Inspection

of the U. S. Department of Agricul-

ture, show that whereas two and

three-tenths per cent of all cattle

slaughtered under Federal Inspection,

exclusive of‘reactors, during the year

1916, were retained f0r tuberculosis,

less than one per cent of all slaugh-

tered last year, exclusive of reactors,

were retained by tuberculosis.



With the great volume of testing

now going on in the various states, it

it apparent that this percentage will

continue to decline until tuberculosis

in cattle is practically suppressed.

bushels. European yields promise

about 75 million bushels more than

last year. Argentine reports are

favorable, but Australia is experienc-

ing drouth in some provinces.





RYE





Mills have been good buyers of rye

and but little has accumulated at ter-

minals. Recent reports on European

production have been more optimistic,

as Germany and Rumania will have

more than last year and Poland about

enough for home needs. Average crops

are reported in Belgium, Holland, and

France. Russian yields were very

disappointing, however.





' CORN





Private forecasts of the corn crop

averaged 3,,072 000, 000 bushels com-

pared with the official forecast of 3,-

030,000, 000 bushels a month ago. The

crop must still run the gauntlet of

early frost. Recent c'ool weather has

tended to delay maturity, but most of

the crop is rapidly approaching the

safety zone. The visible supply has

decreased to 9,516, 000 bushels, which

is smaller than last year or two years

ago but is not below normal for the





season.

OATS





Primary receipts of oats have de-

clined in the last three weeks, sug-

gesting that the peak of the move-

ment has passed already. Arrivals

probably will continue to exceed con-

sumptive demand and to accumulate

at terminals for several weeks yet.





HAY

higher than a year ago. Recent rains

have held up country loadings and

stocks b‘O-th in dealers’ and consum-

ers’ hands have been reduced. Re-

ceipts of alfalfa hay at the principal

markets were the largest for this sea-

son, but quality has improved over

earlier shipments and mill buying has

increased. Dairies are reported to be

buying large amounts of the leafy





types.

BUTTER





The butter market is firmly en-

trenched at the highest prices of the

season. Trade is good although

values of fancy grades are still sev-

eral cents a pound higher than a year

ago. Receipts which are about on a.

par with a year ago are absorbed by

the trade from day to day and some

storage butter is now being used to

augment the supply. Pastures gen-





erally are in good condition and feed





supplies are ample. Butter prices are

relatively more favorable than usual





compared with other dairy products, ,«





so that butter factories will get a full

share of the milk production. New

Zealand is offering butter for delivery

in the last quarter of the year at

prices which would permit a fairly

h e a v y importation notwithstanding

the 12- cent tariff if domestic prices

are high this winter.

mand and active buying or

stacker and feeder cattle caused a

generally strong cattle market in the

last two weeks. Prices of feed; steers

made fresh strides in the advance

which started three months ago and

the Chicago top reached a new high

point for the season of $18.25. Choice

and prime steers are not selling as

high as in the closing months of 1927,

but all.other grades, as well as cows,

heifers, bulls, calves, and stockers

and feeders are considerably higher

than at that time._- Bulk of the fed

steers are selling at $15 to $17.40 at

Chicago. .. ' , .



Current reports indicate that. fin-

ished cattle will become still more

scarce'during'the tall. Choice steers

tions ‘ ' not shownp "for some time



prices

enough to disccunt the prospective re-

duction in supply. . _



The movement of range cattle 15 in-

creasing, but is well behind last year.

Arrivals at Chicago during August

were the smallest for that month on

record. The. range of'prices of wes-

tern steers from $9 to $14.50 com-

pares with $8 to $12 a year ago. In

1927, however, the market advanced

to a. range .of $8.50 to $15.50 in No-

.vember.





.MANY EEEDERS come DIRECT





ATTLE feeders are cleaning the



platter of all suitable thin steers



at prices about $3.50 higher than a

year ago. Shipments to the country in

August were larger than‘in the same

month in either 1925 or 1926. An

unusually large movement direct from

range to feedlot, some of which does

not pass through stock yard centers,

also is in progress. At current prices,

feeding operations can be conducted

profitably on a. narrower margin be-

tween feeders and fat cattle than

when the market was much lower,

but there is danger 'that steers will

be put in at too .high a level this

year. With an abundance of cheap

corn, an excessive supply of finished

steers by late winter or spring might

spoil the financial outcome of the

operation.





HOG PRICES REACH $13.25





1TH receipts the lightest at the

~ corresponding season in seven



years, hog prices were given

another push upward which carried

the Chicago top to $13.25. This is the

highest Since October, 1926. esides

light receipts, average Weights are

smaller than at this season in either

of the last three years. Hog meats

continue to move freely into domestic

consuming channels, but export de-

mand remains rather slow. With light

supplies from current slaughter, stor-

age stocks of meats are being drawn

upon actively, but stocks of lard con-

tinue burdensome. Holdings of lard

at Chicago on September 1 totalled

104 million pounds, the largest on re-

cord for the corr‘esponding date.

, The course of hog prices in the next

two months hinges on how soon the

fall run shows up. The indications

still are that it will be late in ap-

pearing and that receipts will be mod-

erate for several ~weeks yet. After

that, a gradual descent to the winter

price level is to be expectd.

HE rally in lamb prices which

2 started two weeksago is still in

progress, carrying the Chicago

top up to $15.65. It is possible that

the low point late in August will

prbve to be bottom for the season,

although receipts have not yet passed

the peak. Feeding demand is brisk,

especially in the western half of the

corn belt. Colorado feeding opera-

tions are expected to be less than last

year. Bulk of the thin lambs are

going to the country at $13.50 to

$14.25. or about the same as a year

ago, 'while tat lambs are about $1

higher than last year. ~ .
