is no longer an experiment. It
is foundin nearly every state of the .
Union. It is the country child’s opportunity for education
beyond the traditional eight grades. Its comparative value
has been variously stated. It, however, surpasses the one-.
room school for at least the following reasons: ‘

U 1. It gives an opportunity for a four" year high school

.3 ‘2‘ 5 2. It makes it possible for parents to have the direct
 care and supervision of their children who are pursuing high
. school work during'the, critical years of their life, when the
formation of moral and social habits‘are so easily affected by
. ‘ environment. " '

3: It provides for a course of study that may include
agricultural sewing, cooking, manual training, music and
drawing. ‘ ,, . -

4. . It makes possible the securing of better trained and
experienced teachers. _ v . . '

5. It insures a higher percentage of school attendance.

. - 8. It provides educational
conditions so that the children may grow up under the influ-
ence of the ideals of the farm home.

9. It furnishes a more stable basis for ﬁnancing the
school district.

10. It provides a place to foster and promote communi-
ty ideals.

11. It becomes a meeting place for farmers’ clubs, wo-
rmen’s clubs, community clubs, literary societies, and lyceum
courses. ‘ .

12. It prevents needless expense due to duplication of
school apparatus and equipment.

13. It usually provides for a longer term of school.

14.. It insures a better working library.

15.‘ It adds dignity, character and force to rural edu-
cation.

HE MICHIGAN sugar beet growers have asked the
manufacturers of sugar for a conference. The request

was reasonable and proper. The manufacturers have refus-
ed that conference. Their refusal is an aﬁront not only to
membegs of the beet growers’ association, but to every farm-
ers' organization in Michigan. It puts co-operation to a se-
vere test. ’

Two courses are open to the beet growers providing the
manufacturers do not change their minds soon. One of them
is to withdraw their demands and plant boots. That would
be an admission of failure. That might be the end of all of-
fort to organize the beet growers and leave  at the mercy
of the manufacturers. The other course 'n to push their de-
m ands and show the manufacturers that they mean business
when they say they will plant no beets except under a con-
tract approved hy their association This would. strengthen
the farmers’ faith in organization and pave the way to success.

are apparently supported by the
dealers themselves who have recent-

they admit is not properly theirs.

This fact was established it an
open hearing before the Secretary of
Agriculture a. few days ago, in which
growers) Congressmen and oﬂolels
of the War Industries Board, War
Department and Department of Ag-
riculture, participated.

When Hr. Campbell made his

charges last summer the Boston wool '

dealers were almost belligerent and
scorntully denied that they had tak-
en gross advantage of the growers.
The National Board of Farm Organ-
izations shared with Mr. Campbell
the wrath of the ‘.‘mallgned” wool
dealers. 4

Now the campaign initiated by Mr.
Campbell is bearing substantial
fruit. While it is impossible at this
moment to give a reliable estimate
of the amount of money that should
be restored by the dealers to the
growers of wool it is thought that at
least ﬁve million dollars can event-
ually be (110801864, provided the Be-

This estimate is largely exceeded by
some authorities, but all admit that
but for the persistent elm-ts of the
Michigan man the wool dealers
would never have been asked to make
a settlement.

defrauded.
Mr. Campbell were fully sustained.
The only question to be determined
is the exact amount that the grow-
ers are entitled to. ,

Congressman F. G. Lanham,
Texas, said Mr. Campbell had done
good service in calling attention to
the unfavorable treatment that the
wool growers had received at the
heads or the Boston dealers.

“I don’t know how many million
dollars the wool growers of the.
United States have lost through the
peculiar manipulative methods of the
Boston crowd," Congressman Len.-
ham said. “Mr'. Campbell has put
the losses pretty high, but I would
not be surprised if a thorough muse
ligation should disclose that his ee-
tlmete is a. pretty accurate one.

“I remember when Mr. Campbell
made his charges he was ridlcu
by some persons and threatened with
libel suits by others. Events, how,
ever, have sustained him and now
the government should do all that
ﬂu in It: power to obtain for tie
growers the compensation to which
they are, entitled. Some of the deal-
on have already confessed and in
the most conclusive way, by return-
ing large sums to the government."

Judge Parker, while denying that
the War Industries Board was loud-
l1 responsible for the ,‘ill treatment
the wool growers declared tﬁat he
and It. Baruch felt that they were
morally responsible to see this! “as
to: no lies within our power every-i

reliable records it Will be M
111eg diﬂeult to determine exact!
to what extent the farmers have
feted losses, but Judge Parker 01%
moaned menace in the ability of
the government to unravel the shin.
Mr. Baruch told Secretary of Am

‘ culture Meredith that if funds were

lacking to defray the‘expensae of an
investigation he would gladly to
down into his own pocket for the
necessary money. ’ _

“I certainly meant every word I
said," Mr. Baruch declared lat” in
an interview. f‘I am ready and very
willing to pay the nocomry expone-
es of such an lnv ligation if Cong»-
ren falls to pr e the money. I
don't believe that the work so well
begun by Mr. Campbell should end
before every wool grower who has
lost anything is fully compensated.
The wool growers made a splendid
contribution toward the winning of
the war and they should not be re»
quired to make unnecessary and our
celled for sacriﬁces.

to other crops so they are no longer interested
in the outcome as it may aﬁect the price the
current year. They have declared that they
‘will never plant another acre of beets under a

Thumb Farmers Loyal

Last week a number of meetings were held
in the Thumb, at Unionville, Bach, Fairgrove,
Sebewaing, etc. These towns are in the vicin-
ity of muck lands where beets are a particu-
larly suitable crop. It had been rumored. that

is yet early to sow beets. He states that he
sowed three separate ﬁelds last year at three .
diﬁerent times. The ﬁrst ﬁeld he sowed May
15th; the second May 25th, and the third the
ﬁrst week in June. “The last ﬁeld gave the 
best yield,” he declares “by nearly a ton to
the acre.” .

There is no reason for getting in a hurry
to plant beets. The season is very late and ,
beets planted as late as June 10th will un- ;
doubtedly do well. The manufacturers know i i.
this which is one of the reasons why they are ;
slow in agreeing to a conference. They do not r 
want a conference that is plain to be seen. _ 2
They will not have a conference if they can se— 
cure enough acreage without it. So they have
spent every effort to get acreage and destroy ; I
the beet growers’ association, and , f-
ample time yet remains for them ‘ "

-' That Dream of $16 Beets '

HOPING to tempt the farmers into growing beets under the
old centract, Mr. W. H. Wallace has recently issued a state-
ment that the old contract would PROBABLY give the farmers
$16 a ton for beets this year. Mr. Wallace did not explain how
much it would be to the advantage of the sugar companies to pay
the farmers $16 a ton under the old contract- Remember that for
every extra $1 per ton which the farmer receives over $10, the
manufacturers gets $1.40.
If 15 cent sugar will pay the farmer $16 gross per ton of
beets, it will pay the manufacturer $40 per ton gross.
‘ And if the cost :of the beets represents 70 per cent of the total
cost of producing the sugar as claimed by the Federal .Trade Com-
mission, it means that out of every ten of beets for which the man-
pay the farmers $16, they will make a net proﬁt of
SEVENTEEN DOLLARS. All growers ask is a share of that $17.
The farmer will NOT get $16 for his beets if the government

sets the price, for if the government regulates the price at all it
will never let the manufacturers get away with such proﬁts gs that.
If the government sets the price it will undoubtedly allow the
farmers the MINIMUM called for in their old contract for IF THE
FARMERS ARE WILLING TO GROW BEETS UNDER THAT
CONTRACT THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE ’A RIGHT
TO ASSUME THAT THE PRICE IS SATISFACTORY. So it
behoovesthe growers to raise that minimtim and protect their in-
- terests in case of government regulation.

 
  
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
   
  
   
 
  
 
  
  
  
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
  

to agree to_ a conference and get '
their acreage through the grow- ‘
ers’ association if they cannot get '
it any other way. They'have not y
yet got enough acreage to start ,
their factories. CommOn sense I
tells us that this is so. And they
will not get enough acreage if ,
every member of the Association . '
takes another hitch on his cour-
age and determines to out-bluﬁ
the manufacturer, even at the risk

of growing other crops. 
Principle at Stake , 
Manager Ackerman says that ‘3
the principle which is at stake in '

this ﬁght is worth far more than

the value of the 1920 crop. For 
the sake of that principle Mr. Ack- #5
erman himself will let 200 acres of ' j
his land remain idle rather than 
plant them to beets. And he is
but one of thousands who is will-
ing to sacriﬁce for the sake of this
principle. If the growers fail this
year, how can they expect to Win
another year. If the manufact- 
ﬁrms can out-blqu the farmers I“?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

proﬁts. If there are any such ‘—
fhrmers as these in the State of

Michigan, let their neighbors be not too severe
,with them. Necessity is a cruel master. It
sometimes forces us to do.things which we pre-
fer not to do. But the verdict asa’to the ne-
cessity of a farmer growing beets should rest
with his neighbors. They will know What he
can best afford to do.

There will be others who will grow beets
because they have no faith in organization.
That is the most dangerous type of” farmer
With whom we have to deal. Fifty per cent of
the eﬁert required to bring success to co-oper-

spread by the manufacturers that the grow-

meeting was held. A number were I present
who had contracts in their pockets for from 50
to 100 acres of beets. Some of these had seed-
ed their beets; some had accepted the seed and
others were just ﬁtting their ground. Without
a single exception these men voluntarily
agreedto drag up their fields, pay for the seed,
or in the case of those who had not’seeded, to
return the seed and sow other crops. All vol—
untarily surrendered their contracts and nine
men volunteered to spend the next two or
three days visiting their neighbors and getting

their contracts.v Similar action was taken the
' some night at‘ a huge meeting at Fairgrove,

and'at subsequent meetings in'that part of the

’ Conﬁdence in Each Other

It is perfectly natural that when one farm-
er becomes traitor to the cause and plants ,
beets, a good many others are tempted to fol~ '
low suit. But this must not be. The disloyal.
ones are but a handful compared to the loyal
ones and their aggregate acreage will not be a
drop in the bucket to what the manufacturers
must have. In some sections the loyal grow-
ers are threatening to use strong arm methods
against those who are planting, beets. Threats

Average relative yield of wheat for‘twenty-

Continuous wheat. manured.

NIMAL excrement has been used
for soil improvement through-
out all agricultural epochs. Re-

ports of ancient Jewish, Greek and
Roman agriculture show that the use
of manure for such purposes was
common, the early writers Hesiod,
Xenophon, Theophrastus, Cato, Var-
ro and Columella calling attention to
its importance. In the intensely pop-
ulated regions of China, Korea and
Japan practically no losses of plant—
food elements from animals take
place.

Although not appreciated by many
American farmers, manures are .the
most important and far-reaching by-
products of the farm. As a result of
this condition the waste due to im-
proper" management of these prob-
ably exceeds all others on the farm.
Indeed the success of certain systems
of farming hinges largely upon the
proper care and use of the farm ma-
nures.

Composition of Manure

Barnyard manure is made upof a
mixture of bedding, food the animal
has eaten that has not been kept in
its body nor burned away into gas.
It thus contains organic matter, some
nutrients essential for plant growth
as well as others.

The amount of organic matter re-
gained in the manure is of value in
soil management for the reasons
stated in the preceding article. Since
much of it is lost in the process of
feeding to farm animals one should
certainly derive substantial proﬁt
above that obtained from the use of
the manure produced, since more or-
ganic matter can be produced suc-
cessfully by other means. It has
been found by means of experiments
that about ﬁfty per cent of coarse
forage is digested and eighty-ﬁve to
ninety of the more concentrated food.
Inasmuch as a standard ration is a
mixture of feeds the animals returns
from thirty to forty-ﬁve per cent of
the organic matter consumed. Of
course, the composition of the ma—
nure that goes on the land is influ-
enced by the kind and amount of
bedding afforded the animal as well
as the care it receives from the time
it is voided until it is applied to the
land. _

The amount of the plant nutrients
that is fed to livestock that again
reaches the soil is of tremendous im-
portance. Although not generally
accepted some agricultural writers
maintain that the agricultural value
of crop producing power of manure
when applied to the soil is governed
primarily‘ by the amount of these
that it contains.

In the maintenance «of fertility un-‘

der livestock systems of farming the
amount of the plant food elements

', that is returned in the manure must

 

".“O‘rgenic matter _ > _ _

.be considered and the losses entail-
,. ed must be made up in some‘man-

ner.
' kind and age of the animal to which
I the food is given, and in general the
 losses of the important constituents
 are as given in the following table.

of corn, wheat and cloverx ‘During
the ﬁrst period or 1897-1906 the val-
ue of each tonof the.“ former was
$2.12 and the latter $2.87 and dur-
ing the second period for 1907-1918
these values were $2.92 and 3.45 re-

, .spectively. 'These are calculated on

pro-war prices, which are more than
one-half lower than at present.

' It is estimated that the plant food
elements lost annually from barn-
yard manure, due to improper hand-
ling, approximates two and a quarter
billion dollars in value. The losses
are entailed during certain processes
of decay, by volatilization, and also
by leaching.

The decay of manure, the result of
the activities 'of bacteria, molds and
fungi, may take place mainly under
two sets of conditions, namely, loose
and moist, and compact and moist.
Under the former conditions an
abundance of air is present and the
mass becomes heated. The organic
matter decreases and more or less
free nitrogen, and nitrogen as am-
monia escape into the atmosphere.
'The initial losses are'largely the re—
sult of the breaking down of urea in
the liquid portion. During this pro-

cess ammonium carbonate is form- .

ed, andsince this is a volatile com-
pound it later breaks up into gaseous
ammonia and carbon dioxide and ac-
counts for great losses of nitrogen

Value of Manure

Manure may be valued commer-
cially, that is on the basis of 'the
amount of the important ingredients
and also on the agricultural basis or
its value in enhancing crop produc—
tion.

In deciding upon the commercial
value of manure it is ﬁrst necessary
to ﬁx the price of each of the most
important elements, those usually
considered being nitrogen, phosphor-
us and potassium. As a rule the
price per pound is lower than that
charged for these in the form of com-
mercial fertilizers. In addition a
knowledge of the composition of the
material is essential.

Formerly the value of the organic
matter in the manure was ignored-
but recently (several agriculturists
have placed an estimate upon . this
portiOn. Such estimates have many
short comings and really should be
looked open 'only as means for mak-
ing comparisons of mandres

different classes of animals; Some

‘of the disturbing factors that arise“
are the dilution by means of litter
and losses entailed in several ways. 
The most satisfactory way to eva-  a
be as follows: Loss of organic- mat- ‘ .
ter from the protected was sixty per .

luate manure is .upon the basis  of

its power to increase crop produc- ’
tion. ~ This is diﬂlcult owing to the ‘

from manure heaps. This reaction
is practically completed within‘ a
week’s time and the greater part may
take place the ﬁrst three days after
manure is deposited. Under the lat-
ter conditions, air is deﬁcient and
less heat is formed and the loss of
free nitrogen and the nitrogen ’ as
ammonia, is much less. Thus it fol-

At the Ohio Agricultur- *

lows, if a manure heap is kept moist

and compact the loss of nitrogen by
volatilization is greatly reduced.

The loss of nitrogen and potassi-I

um from manure thrown into the
barnyard, oriother places where it
will become saturated and drainage
water escapes, is, great indeed. The
loss dependsupon the amount of
rainfall and the temperature. It is
held by some that on a large number
of farms in the humid region approx-
imately 75 per cent of the total nitro-
gen, 25 per cent of the phosphorus,

and 50 per cent of the potassium are,

not returned to the soil. If no drain-
age water. passes away the, loss of

nitrogen will be accounted for by vol- ,

atilization__ and no phosphorus or po-
tassium will disappear; r',.0f;course
thegbulk decreases or much of the or-
ganicg'matteris dissipated. ' '_ _ —

voided in the stable and- thrown out, -

or in the yards exposed to weather
there is lost on an average about $60
worth of plant-food from December
or January to’April. The value of

course would be greater if the map-
spl'lnl I

nure were exposed to' the
vrains for a longer period. 0
It is well recognized that there are
certain ideal methods for caring for
manure. The foremost one porhaps,

is a concrete pit system which. pre— ‘

.v-ents losses by seepage or drainage as

well as makes it possible to keep the '

heap moist and compact—conditions
ideal for percenting losses of-- plant
food. The paved feed lot where the
manure is compact and leaching pre-
vented is another important method
for caring for manure. It has been

at

shown that the saving by the use of A

such a system will soon pay for the
installation. -

Many farmers cannot see -their
may clear to install such systems but
they can save a large percentage of
the manure, both liquid and solid, by
feeding under open sheds and by
bedding frequently and generously.
Where the above methods cannot be
adopted and the manure must be pil-
ed in heaps, certain precautions
should be taken. The heaps should
be perpendicular and the top so ar-
ranged to catch water rather than
to shed it. In addition, the heap
should be tall enough to prevent
leaching through the mass.

Wherever possible to practice it a
cheap and effective way to handle ma-
nure is to haul it to the ﬁeld as 'it is
made. Care should be taken to avoid
losses by washing from sloping land,
especially when the soil is frozen.

MAKING FERTILIZER

Would a. mixture of chicken dropping-
f'rom sixty 'hens, two loads of leaf mold,
two wash tubs of woods ashes and ﬁne
oat straw well powdered make good fer-
tilizer for spring wheat on high sandy
soil or corn on low land?——Mrs. D. MoC
Van Buren County. *

The mixture you suggest together
with about 300 or 400 pounds of acid
phosphate should make an excellent
fertilizer for your soils. If the ma-
terial is fairly dry about 300 pounds
per acre could be applied.

If you cannot obtain the acid phos-
phate for local dealers it is probable
that you can purchase it from the
Agricultural Chemical Co., Detroit,
the Federal Chemical 00., Columbia,
Tenn., or Swift and Co., Chicago.

It is customary to use 200 pounds
of 16 per cent acid phosphate for
staple crops twice in about a' four
year rotation. Where one is grow-
ing the heavy cash crops such as po-
tatoes the'application should be in-
creased to 300 or 400 pounds per
acre—1’. 5M. M00001, Professor of
Soils, Michigan ,Agﬁczfltural college.

Tell ConsumerTruth About Shoddy I and Wool Will Come Into Its Own

HE manufacturers of woolen

’ goods-are very much opposed to

" the “‘Truth in Fabric” bill now

, 1. before congress. This bill .would

compel every manufacturer to label

t , his goods according to the quantity

of pure wool and shoddy which they

' contain. One argument presented in

opposition to this bill is based on _the

fact that the present production of

wool” is not sufﬁcient to provide, ev-

eryone with pure wool garments.

Hence, the use of shoddy is neces—

sary. This argument is presented as

follows by Samuel S._Dae in “Tex-
tiles,” a clothing trade organ.

“It will aid greatly in freeing our-

t selves from prejudice against shoddy

and other wool by-products, if we

Manual tralnlng shop of Iron Rlver township school district.

A few years ago teachers, to a
large extent, measured their- own
ability as teachers by the assigning
of school tasks that only the excep-
tional.chi1d could perform. Little
aid was given by the teacher. If a
few children struggled through this
process ,and the teacher pleased the
community socially, she was hailed
as one of the excellent teachers of
the county. We know better than
this now. We no longer approve
such teaching as administers to a
small per cent out of each one hund-
red. We now think of the remaind—
We disap-
prove teaching only the Ed-isons, the
Burbanks, the J-effersons, the Lin-
colns, the Roosevelts, the Wilsons and
the Schwabs. These are the people
that are often cited by some defend-
er of the 'one-room schoolito prove
that it is an unqualiﬁed success. We

ducts comes originally from the
sheep, and the sheep of all countries
yield approximately 1,468,000,000
pounds (scoured weight) of wool
each year. This in the aggregate is
a large quantity, but there is a loss
of about 30 per cent in manufactur-
ing scoured wool into cloth, so that
the wool grown throughout the world
each‘ year would produce 1,027,600,-
000 pounds of wdol cloth ready to be
made into clothing- . -
This also s a large .,
quantity, but let us
consider .how many
are to use it. The
people now living
outside ~ of the trop-
ics ~number approxi-
mately 1,169,0 0 0,-
and for them wool
covering is a neces-
sity that grows great- v
er the nearer they

in their abilities and that there must
'be time at the disposal of the teach—
er, during both the recitation and
study period, to take account of this

.variation so that each boy or girl

will have an opportunity to measure
up to the highest standard of his or
her possibilities.

The one room school offers little
opportunity to teach such vocational
subjects as agriculture, sewing, cook-
ing, and manual training. The al-
ready over-crowded curriculum does
not permit efficient teaching of these
subjects. If it did, there would not be
available teachers who could teach
each of these subjects and regular
school work with any degree of eiii-
olency. ’

Shoddy a Primary Necessity of Life

“At the rate flocks produce wool a
man would have to
wait four years for
enough cloth to
make a suit of cloth—
es. When we consid-
er the large amount
of wool materials
now used, not only
for bodily protection,
but for the other uses
already mentioned,
and the dispropor-
tion between that
amount and the an-
nual yield of wool for
each person, it be-
comes plain that the
existence of most of
the people now living
in temperate
cold climates de—
pends on a supply of
wool material in ad—
dition to that which
comes directly from
the sheep. This ex-
tra supply is obtain-
ed by reclaiming the
wool from articles of
wool that have al—

clothing or other pur-
poses, and manufact-
uring this reclaimed

‘icience is considered in. such a'schcol.
The law does requireiﬁthat agricul-
ture shall form a part of the instruc-
tion in the rural school. The course
of study for such schools make'prjo-
vision for a half-year of instruction
in the subject, but who must neces-'
sarily be the instructor? Most often
teachers who know little concerning
the fundamentals of this science. To
some of these teachers the concep-
tion of agriculture is measured in E
terms of how rapidly they can climb ‘
a fence if a cow in a friendly attitude
comes towards them. The teacher is ﬂ A
not at fault for this agricultural ff
teaching situation. It is the system. 
The wonder is that she does so well.

,Is it fair to'the girl today to pass
her from our schools without the op—
portunity to learn how to sew and
cook, the-two vocations which will
be brought more or less into con-
stant use by her?

Is it fair to the boy to deny him
an opportunity to create something
with his hands? Manual training is
a means of answering this desire to 3 I,
express himself in some tangible art— 
icle. In providing for this and the
other vocation subjects we are not
turning our schools into places where
a child gets nothing except what he
may learn from a vocational subject,
for no one of the subjects needs to be
taught to exceed ninety minutes per
week in the elementary or ﬁrst eight .
grades. These subjects when prop- ' 
erly taught create an interest in '
school life, and correlate with the ;
other subjects of the curriculum. The 1 It

(Continued next week) 

the people living outside of the
tropics, but the existence of the
great majority of them, depend a
great deal on the use of the materi-
al called shoddy, and which is but
another name for wool. If the wool
were not reclaimed it would be far ;—
more expensive than silk. . 5..
Argument Favors “Truth in Fabric”
The above views were intended as I
an argument .against the “Truth in
Fabric” law, but it is really an ar-
gument in favor of it. It is granted
that the present wool yield is insuf—
ﬁcient. The reason this is so is be-
cause shoddy has taken the place of
wool. All the wool has been pro- ,‘
duced for which there has been a.
proﬁtable market. Use less shoddy
and more wool, and more W001 will
be produced, and a great industry
will be stimulated. The enemies of l 
“Truth in Fabric” thus presents the i 
best argument Why such a law, ' _
should be enacted. ,4‘
Purchasers of clothing should n’oi'. ‘ “
be deceived' into thinking that the
“Truth in Fabric” law would pro-
hibit the use of shoddy, and force
them to depend wholly upon wool.
For such is not the case. The bill
would simply require the lebel—
ling of goods, so that a man who ,
wanted an all—‘Wool, garment could ‘
buy one if he wanted to pay the"
price for it and know that he was‘
getting what he paid for. Similar- r
ly a man who was satisﬁed to pur‘
chase a garment consisting of eighty , '
per cent shoddy and .twenty per“—
cent pure wool would know exactly
what'he 'was buying. The “Truth
in Fabric” bill is just what its name? ,
suggests, and would prove a benefit-,,

and eventually to the manufactur

Hudson is Best Known

_ For. Its Super-Six Motor
Oﬁcial Proofs Established Its Supremacy; Thus
Hudsc‘m Became the Largest Selling Fine Car

Few at the 90,0001 Super-Six owners
have ever tried the limit of. Hudson

speed or power. They realize they have
a- vast reservoir of. ability that is never
called on.

Yet no one mistakes it for more idle

/ surplus simply because it is beyond his

ordinary requirements.

For that latent capacity is Hudson’s
greatest value. It is the life of a car.
Because of it, thousands are now get-
ting the fullest satisfaction and service
from Super-Sixes nearly ﬁve years old.
They knew the durability it gives They
know what it means in smooth opera-
tion. Their cars have required neither
costly replacements nor constant atten-
tion to minor disorders.

* . Moreover, it is good to know that you
have at instant cal] greater speed, ac-
celeration  hill-climbing ability than
my other sunk car has ever shown.

80% More Efﬁcient-r

perfect. motor.” That of coursex is not

. But fencer jive years they are
‘ stood. None as equalled them. e
,  oi their being  seem-

ed never more remote than now. Cer-
tainly the type, to do it has not yet ap-
peared. ‘

And mark this important. fact. Hud—
son’s supremacy means no added com-
plications, weight or size. The patent-
ed S‘uper—Six principle applied to a
standard type of motor added 72% to
power. Motor efﬁciency is increased
80%. Endurance thus has been increas-
ed to limits yet unknown.

Note These Tests Made
' to Prove, It‘s Endurance

Think that a Super-Six stock chassis
set the speed record at the rate 022102.53
miles per hour. A stock Super-Six holds
the acceleration record. And Hudson
made the fastest time for the famous
Pike’s Peak hill climb. The Super-Six
principle in speedwayLraeing won more
points than any racing been ever took,
in a single year. And think of Bud-
son’s double trans—continental run or
7,000 miles in 10 days 21 hours. No
other car ever equalled its time- in either

THE BABIES

. 0 YOU know that last year more

applications were made at insti-

tutiOns for homes for babies.
Mothers driven to desperation by the
high cost of living in the cities and
'the fact that landlords would not al-
low children in their houses, has
made is seem almost that a prohibi—
tive price has been put on childhood.
If it were only possible for e'Very
child to be born in the country where
there was room to breathe and room
to play. For those who have made
a study of the subject all agree that
no matter how ideally the institution
may be conducted, it can never take
the place of a home. Perhaps the
report of the largest society in De-
troit may be of interest to you:

Children In the W'ay
March was the busiest month in the
history of the Children's Aid Society,
which has unbroken records dating back
to 1867, with more or less complete re-
ports of every case handled during that

 
   

time. There were 132 applications for
homes for children in March, most of
them being cases where parents want-

 

 

 

 

 

 

l

The mother of little Lora Megglson, the
beautiful baby shown ab0ve, has answered
the Roll Call, but you may be sure her fath-
er, Clarence Meggison, of Charlevolx, would
not have his little girl placed In an institu-
tion. She is happy in the home of Mrs. Geo.
Megglson. She is two years and ten months

 

old and weighs 25 pounds.

 

 

‘ ed to get the children out of their way,
either by paying for their board or by
giving them for adoption. A peculiarly
heartless case was that of a mother in
excellent physical condition, who said
she was'tired of being tied at home to
care for her child and wanted some one
to adopt it.

There is no substitute for a real moth-
er, according to the theory as worked
out by the Children’s Aid. Every case
is investigated thoroughly and cl 'ldren
are taken away from their natura par-
ents only when circumstances make it
duperative. Even then children are not
sent to institutions, but are boarded with
‘llamilics where the home life is kept up.

Negro Problem Growing

The society has a staff of workers,
each of whom is responsible for a cer-
bain number of children. These she vis-
its at regular intervals, both at home
and t school. There also is a. free clinic
1201‘ t 0 babies, which are weighed every
two weeks and their diet changed when-
ever necessary.

Thevvast influx of Negro population,
uogcther with difﬁculties in obtaining
proper housing has created a. new vprob-
Hem for the society. To date a'll.cases
have been cared for, but it is becoming
increasingly necessary to help these
mimilies care for their children. -

Mother’s Place Home

'It will be a sorry day for society, Mr.
'E‘rost says, if the new woman, proud of
her economic independence, prefers bus—
iness life to the rearing of a family, It
will be a still sorrier one if she takes

 upon herself the obligations of society,
Bears children and then refuses to stay
at home and give them a mother‘s care,
lie said. The society is doing, what it
can to supplement the home life of the
city’s unfortunate children, but even a.
iﬂoarding home isn’t what a real home

~‘nught to mean to the future citizens of
Detroit, in its opinion.

.What are the greatnesses of the great.
It was said of a most learned and
distinguished Englishman that he had
no shrines. I am not afraid that
American children will be shrineless,
but I am concerned about the Amer—
ican child‘ having shrines wOrthy of
his reverance and honor. Parents
cannot expect to reveal to a\child the
essence of greatness and nobleness in
another until after they have an-
swered for themselves the question of
what greatness really is,--—until they
know that greatness is not a matter
of passing fame, but of abiding worth
moral and spiritual, and that in a.
democracy no man is great who does
not greatly serve. ' A 
’I would warn parents against the

danger of ﬁlling the shrines of their

children with second and third and
even fifth rate ﬁgures. Parents must

' But as the train slowed into a

that stamped itself upon ,my mind
and brought up whole volumes ‘of
speculation. I saw a man, rought in

BRIGHT SAYINGS OF CHILDREN

Alice Margaret: age two years and
nine months, went with Mama to the
chicken house, found about twenty
hens on the nest and... with wonder
showing in her eyes said: “Oh, Ma
ma, the chickens have all gone to
bed."—Submittcd by Mrs. W. E. .0.,
one of our readers.

Wallin, aged two and a half was
helping his father get his Christmas
tree ready for Santa. As the father
tried the lights which he was plac—
ing on the tree to see if the wiring
had been properly attached, Wallin
insisted on pushing the button, and
as the lights went out he asked:
“Daddy, where do the lights go when
you put them out?"

~ VOTING or NON-RESIDENT '

If a man, who owns no property and
pays no taxes anywhere, moves into an-
other county, can he and Wife come
back into the count they left andvote?
They have an ,old 6 out 'put up on her
father’s place here. ould that give.
them the right to vote here, or must
they vote where they re‘side? Can ‘a.
man who owns a: farm here; but resides
in Flint, and whose son became of age
in Flint, bring his wife and son and
come here to vote? Can a man who is
treasurer dispose of all his property
here, move to another county and o in-

to business there, own his home an live
there for the last seven months, still
hold township treasurer here, and can

himself and wife come back here and
vote? He owns nothing here now.—.—K,,
Gladwin County. -

 

A person is entitled to vote only
in the place of his residence. Resi-
dence is largely a question of intent
if there is an opportunity for two
places. For if one gains a residence
in 01119 place and is temporarily ab-
sent with the intention of returning
he does not loose his onigirnal resi-
dence and does not gain one in, the
place of his temporary quarters. He
would- be guilty 0f violating the crim-
inal law if he voted in both places.
An “old shanty" may be a. sufficient
residence to satisfy the law.

If the person described RESIDE in
Flint they cannot vote elsewhere, but
if they are there only temporarily
and have a RESIDENCE in your
county they may return to vote.

If the treasurer has no place in
your county which can be termed a
residence and he has taken up his
residence elsewhere he can not re-
turn to vote, and has vacated his
ofﬁce by moving away—W. E. Brown,
legal editor.

MILLET WITH CORN

Can millet be sown with corn? The
majority of farmers sow about the 15th
of June. It just get a start when the
grasshoppers come an destroy lots of it.
What I would like to know, will it do
when it is sown early, and how .much
seed should be used to an acre—C. C, H.,'
Wexford County.

It is not advisable to sow millet
with com. If a. green manuring crop
is desired to plow under next spring
would suggest sowing rye in the corn
during the latter part of September.
It fall pasture is desired would sug-'
gest sowing from 4 to 6 pounds of
Dwarf Essex rape per acre in the corn
at the last cultivation.

Millet is generally used as a hay
crop in theis state, the best time of
seeding being the first of June, the
crop in this state, the best time of
ing the ﬁrst part om August. One-
half bushel per acre is suiﬁcient.——~O.
R. Mogee, Ass’t Prof. of Farm Crops,

RELEASING A BONDSMAN

What is the best way to withdraw
from a bond I signed. as administrator
bond. The widow got married again
and I don’t like the W9. this man is run-
ning the business. The ends are only on
personal property—R, P., Bay County.

 

You cannot be released from your
liability 0n the bond until discharged
by the judge of probate. You should
petition the judge of probate to be
released on your bond, have a day
for hearing ﬁxed and a citation to the
administratrix and the other bonds-
men it another was required. Show
the reasons why you desire to be re-‘
leased. If the judge does not see his
way-clear to your release and the
requirement of another bondsmazn
they try some Other form like a pc—
tion for the removal or the adminis-
tratrix and the appointment of an-
other. You should see to it that the
required reports by the administra-
trix is also ﬁled and that everything
required be in the report. If the
estate is not all accounted for and
any-rinrisappropriation has occurred
the judge of probate will be inposi-
tion to then take such action as the
facts will warrant for your protec-’
ti'on.——W. E. ‘Brown, legal editor.

Nine years ago the farmers around

they violate a. contract? There are sev-

ours, Will you please give me some idea.

'REROUTIN G R. F‘. D. 0N ACCOUNT

OF BAD ROADS

I would like your gulvlce in regard to
trouble we are having on our R.“ F. D.
Part of the road by our place 15 thru

there has been money rs.
road still they don’t fix it up and now
they are talking of dropping this two
sections and just going 1 1-2 miles along
one end to accommodate two families and
cutting off nine families on the other
three sides. I would like to know if
there is anything we could do to prevent
their cutting off these two sections? My

‘ mother takes M. .B. F. and we all like it

ﬁne 80 We are turningto this paper for
advice. Can any one else beside the
road commission ﬁx this road and get
their pay for it from the town. Wishing
yo: efﬁng. success, I remain yours truly.

 

I am of the opinion that you would
have to maintain a good and pass-
able road or the poets] authorities
would be justiﬁed in changing the
route. It would be best to talk the
matter over with the postmaster. The
highway commissioner has charge of
the highways, and you might be able
to make arrangements with “him to
take the buildings of the road among
persons who are interested in
maintenance and he pay you the
money voted for its improvement.
Better ‘talk with him about it.——W.

The Final Achievement In a Heavy—Duty
Tractor at a Remarkable Price—$840

ground and preventing all danger of rearing up n]

When the engineers and designers developed
the SAMSON Model “M” Tractor, two things
were uppermost in their minds: First, plenty of
horse power at the draw bar for the lowest pos-
sible ﬁrst cost and upkeep; second, an abundance
of reliable, steady belt power that will do every
heavy-duty belt power job on the farm or ranch.

They have accomplished both these things to
perfection in the SAMSON Model "M." Here
is a tractor that will take the place and perform
the duty of {ham full of horses, without costing
you a fortune or a big part of your crop to buy
01‘ maintain. ‘

The even distribution of weight, compact unit

design, and low center of gravity, give to the
SAMSON great stability, making it hug the

or tipping over.

The SAMSON Model "M" is the last word
in modern, down-to-the-minute tractor construc-

tion. It is not like the average l-beam and chan- '

nel steel frame tractor that weighs so much that
it takes a large percentage of its own power lor
self-propulsion.

It is a close-coupled power unit all by itself,
from radiator to rear wheels. Every part is
enclosed and protected against dust, mud or rain.

For further details about the wonderful SAM-
SON Model “M,” see your dealer or write us
for FREE booklet which contains valuable and
surprising information about maintenance cost of
the SAMSON compared with horse upkeep.
