offering. It’s a shame and a disgrace
that the. fruit growers of this state
don’t'get together and organize. Thou-
sands of barrels of western apples are
sold in the cities of Michigan, and yet
it is generally conceded by all that the
fruit growu in this state is far better
than the western product. So long as

weather will put thousands of dollaer the fI‘UIt growers put in their entire

into the farmerS’ pockets. If we can
have a couple of weeks of good
weather, the bean crop will be secured

in fine shape. Reports'from some sec-

tions show that potatoes are rotting
in the ground to some extent, but a
splendid yield, of good quality, is re-
ported. Sugar beets.on*low ground
are going to be just about..half a crop;
on higher ground, however, the ton-
nage is going to be heavy, although
the’ Sugar content .will undoubtedly
net be so great as last year. Uncon-
ﬁrmed reports have reached us that
the contracts to be sent out by the
sugar companies next year Will de-
mand a higher price for seed and will
not be quite so liberal as last yeaa s
contract. This change would natur-
ally come, as the farmers made a de-
mand for better prices, which the cem-
p‘anies refused, backing the farmers
off the board.

We read a rather amusing article in
one of the New York produce bulletins
the other day, in which the editor sug-
gested that the farmers should grow
les‘s fruit. The article explained that
there was an over-abundance of apples
and other fruits this year, and the
prices, therefore, would be ridiculously
low. Upon investigation in Detroit,
we ﬁnd that the consumption of fruit
is perhaps not more than 20 per cent
of what it would be if all the people
had what'fruit they really desired. The
fact can be easily established that
even apples today are looked upon as
a luxury by the people who live in the
city". The reports this week show
that many growers sold their apples

at $1. 00 a. barrel in the orchard, for ,

nelssthat it would be almost impossi-‘
ble to consume this year's hay crop.
The writer was called crazy by one of
(Mir best and largest dealers because I
advanced the idea of a. ﬁfteen-dollar
market to the farmer for No. 1 timothy
hay" before October lst. Just as our
crop report has shown, we have an
increase in tonnage of all kinds of hay,
but we have a mighty small percentage
in increase of strictly good No. 1 or
lean timothy grades of either No. 1
or No. . My suspicion of what the
market would do has been well proven
out. The market at the moment at
most Michigan points in sections which
we call hay sections, will net the farm'-
-r very close to $15.00 today. I see no
eason for alarm over this good hay.
am not going to state in this paper
what the future condition is going to
be. We are going to give you the con-
ditions that exist from week to week
and let you form your own conclusions.
Those having common qualities of hay
will have cause for alarm over its dis—
osition on the outside market to ad-
tage.

« Our How “Do=You=Do” '

Guess we don’t need an introduction; so we will “just step right up and
saysay: “How-do-you do ?"

Well, here’s the Market Paper you have been looking for. Look it over,
Brothers " N

“Small?”

“Yes, no chaﬂ, just the kernel.” It’s just what its name implies: a “BUSI-
NESS” paper. No sermons, no love stories ;‘ no 01d chestnuts from the “theor-
ists” telling you what you “already know.” .

It is a little paper that will bring to your Farm Factory every week, just
such information as the fellow who buys your produce gets.

You wonder why your local dealer “scurries out” and picks up the potatoes
ten days in advance of a rise in prices.

You wonder why the market outlook is always “draped in mourning."

You wonder why every year “bumper crops” are reported, and the farmers
are advised to sell and sell quick.

Well, Brother, that’s all a. part of the game. If you were in the produce
business, and every dollar you made had to come through buying the farmers’
produce at as low a price as possible, and selling it at the very highest pessible
prices, J

You wouldn’t sit in an easy chair when you knew that the farmers had
potatoes which were surely going to be worth more?

You wouldn’t report the market outlook as encouraging for better prices;
you wouldn’t report a scarcity in crops? , ’

None but a. fool would work against his own ﬁnancial interests—and the
fellows who handle your products ARE NOT FOOLS.

This paper is published in YOUR interests. Not for exploitation or proﬁt.

It’s the “Second Step” in applying the remedy for present-day market evils.
We have applied the ﬁrst remedy; the market: have been opened and the
farmers of Michigan today are enjoying better and more stable markets than
their brothers in adjoining states.

Simply because we took the ﬁrst step. Our “Second Step” is to push back
the curtain of uncertainty; dispel the fog of misrepresentation, and reveal
“true market conditions."

Possibly you are not ready to take this “Second Step." It not, no harm has
been done. Keep right on handing your proﬁts over to the “market gamblers
at home and abroad” until you get sick.

Then you will look for a ftemedy. Then you will “take the Second '/Step
with us.”

\‘ We can wait.

Can YOU afford to wait?

Tennew subscribers, yes, or ﬁve, means a boost right where it is needed.

or course you are “a well-wisher;” and that helps some. But it don’t help
like the application of a “ten-subscriber muscle” would, right now on the

» “hind wheel.”

“BE A BIND-WHEELER.”
Sincerely,
