VII, No. 47

 

.AS CARTOONIST Thomas views it, the

maid of the Great LaLkes is ﬂirting
with the old man of the sea, and if the thirty-
ﬁve states which sent two thousand delegates
to the Detroit Tidewater convention can in-
duce Congress to give his consent there’s go-
ing to be a wedding; 7 ' v’ ,

For many years men of genius have dream-
ed of opening up the waterways between the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic ocean to ocean-
going vessels. They did not make their
dreams public, however, lest they be called
fools and visionaries. The break-down of the
railway systems, with their disastrous eco-
nomic eifects, broke the silence of these dream-
ers and they actually talked. And the na-
tion listened. The nation listened to such
good eifect that congress was induced to pro-
vide that the question of improving the St.

'Lawrence river should be referred to the In-

ternational Joint Commission, a body com-
posed of equal representatives of Canada and
the United States to have a jurisdiction over
the waterway rights of the international
stream. This Commission was instructed to
investigate (1), the need of the improvement;
(2), by what method may the river best be
improved so as to be freely navi ble by
ocean-going ships and so as to inc dentally

‘ develop the power; (3), the probable cost,

and (4), how this cost should be divided be-
The Commission
employed engineers to make surveys, collect
data, etc. Their report will be ready for pub-
lication early in November. Suﬁice to say

Two Thousand Delegates From Thirty-'Five‘States Spread Campaign of Education to

Where the Farmer Comes In

The Tidewater project will receive the
support of the farmers of Michigan be-
cause, it will mean: . f

5  Cheaper ahd ‘more rapid u-anspor-
tatlon. , . 5 .

2. Reduction in dealers" risks, and

therefore the handling margin, resulting
in higher prices to farmers.

8. Development of world market for
Michigan farm products.

4. Stimulation a! oo-operative enter-~

prises such as grain elevators, packing
plants, canning plants, sugar factories, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speakers Prove Need of Project

It would be impossible for us to publish in
detail the views of the score or more speakers
who ur ed that the Tidewater project be im-
mediate undertaken. The list of speakers
included business men, bankers, engineers,
legislators and transportation heads,—men
who have made a serious study of the na-
tion’s transportation needs, and the technical
and economic aspects of the waterway pro-
ject. '

Gov. Harding of Iowa scorned the United
States for her backwardness in developing
her God—given waterways. He said:

“The train of opportunity is passing our door.

The Allies, as well as Germany, are out after
the bacon, while we hold an animated tea party.

violin and no how. A nation without ade-
quate transportation facilities on land and wa-
ter to handle its commerce seasonably, is not
living up to its opportunity, or doing its duty
to its citizens. "

“Iowa knows that it is impossible to move its
far 18 to the Ocean, but believes that through
the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes, the ,_
Ocean can be brought to them, and so Iowa is
heartily in sympathy with the plan of develop-
ing this great water course to the extent that it
will carry ocean—going vessels.” '

Nation’s Woes Due to “No Cars”

Wats0n S. Moore, 2nd Vice President of
the Grain Corporation, gave one of the most
practical talks of the entire convention. His
subject was “No Cars,” and he cited in-
stance after instance to show the enormous
economic loss that was occasioned through
lack of cars and congested railway terminals.
The following are a few’ of the more inter-
esting points gleaned from his discourse:

“The burden of our Grain Corporations
correspondence for eight months has been
‘NO CARS—Can’t you help us?’

“Flour Jobbers, out of stock—NC CARS.

“Flour Exporters, delayed shipments, 1
falling down on their foreign contracts—*NO
CARS. ;

“Bread Bakers, shutting down, account
non-arrival of shipments—NO CARS.

“The ﬁrst half of May, 1920, bakery after
bakery in New York City, advised they
would have to shut down unless given flour. .
The Grain Corporation supplied the tempor- i
ary needs of bakeries out of its export stocks '"

am deformed on
good authority thata large number
of grain exporters Would have been
ruined by the unusual, extraordinary
and long delays of grain shipments-
from the West during the last eight
months—due to NO CARS.

_ “Now that the grain shipping and
{export business is going back into
the hands of private traders, there

. will have to be an improvement in

the rail service. OtherwiSe the grain
merchants will not be able/ to meet
their ocean freight engagements,
and they will pay very dearly if they
default on any of these engagements.
Consequently caution will have to
be exercised and this will be reflect-
ed back in lower prices to consumer.

“On January 9th, Grain Corpora-
tion ordered something over one mil-

lion bushels of wheat shipped by
rail from Minneapolis to Philadel-
phia and New York. Up to April

9th, only 299 thousand bushels had
been moved. The balance we had to
divert to Duluth for lake shipment,
and it took FOUR MONTHS to move.
this wheat by rail from Minneapolis
to Duluth, only 150 miles, which
should be moved within four days,
and when it did get to Duluth, it was
carried promptly one thousand miles
by water in four days.

“On January 9th, 1920, Grain
Corporation ordered 365 thousand
bushels shipped by rail from Mani-
towoc, Wis, to New York. Not a
carioad of. this was moved by rail
and we had to move it by lake to

Eric.
“On January 9th, 1920, Grain
Corporation ordered about 100

thousand bushels from Chicago to
Philadelphia by rail. Up to April
9th, only about 65 thousand bushels
of this had been moved--NO CARS
——and we had to forward the balance
by lake. N0 DELAY.

“On June 18th, arrangements were
made to move about 600 thousand
bushelsof wheat from Buffalo to
Montreal by lake boat down the St.
Lawrence River. Up to June 30th,
about 484 thousand bushels had been
moved this way.

"With the close of navigation last
Fall, Grain Corporation had at Buf—
falo, approximately 14 million bush-
els of wheat. In spite of all the ef-
forts we could exert with the Rail-
road Administration while it was in
existence and with the individual
railroads since March lst, 1920, and
with the canal people, it has taken
to present date, July 21st, to get this
15 million bushels moved from Buf—
falo to the seaboard.

“All of this grain was intended
for export and was so situated that
it might have been forwarded by ves-
sel direct from the Western lake
ports by ocean steamer overseas, had
the deep waterway to the sea been
in existence at that time. This would
have been a very decided relief to
the inlands transportation facilities
at a time when they were sorely
pressed to meet the urgent needs of
our domestic commerce, and other
foreign commerce.

“Forty-eight million .bushels of
Wheat still in elevators and on farms
in Kansas alone on the 15th of May,
within a month of the new. crop,
(which amount was half the estimat-
ed new crop for this state) on account
of NO CARS.

“Part of car shortage, of course,
due to strikes.

“Pressure also was constantly
brought to bear on the. railroads and
the Inster'state Commerce Commis-
sion by the producers and represent—
atives of the grain and flour trade.

“Then the priority order for grain
was issued by the Interstate Com—
merce Commission, and grain again
moved, but at the expense of other
commodities, and manufacturing
plants had to shut down and other
important industries were campelled
to sharply curtail their business.

“Grain priority had to be divided
with coal. Coal must be moved to
the northwest during the seascin Vof
navigation, or that section of the.
country will freeze. There are' a
large number of people in that coun-
try who are unable to get to Palm
Beach in the winter. '

. “The coal operations new claim
that the present coal shortage is.
due in considerable measure to the
failure of some roads to obey the

 

 

 

priority order.

“While everybody is kicking the
railroads and they are ‘passing- the2
buck’ to Uncle Sam, they have sins"
enough of their own to answer for
in the past; nevertheless, it is only
fair to note that in 1915, 2,356,000
freight cars in the U. S. moved 277
million tons of freight, while in 1918
2,366,000 freight cars, only slightly
more than in 1915, the railroads may:
ed 403 million tons. Qf course a.
large measure of this greatly increasy
ed business was due to uniﬁed direc—‘
tion of cars and also taking off the
car~load limits. I

“The car shortage resulting in the
delayed‘movement of the 1919 wheat
crop from the farms and also from
the country and terminal elevators to '
the mills the past eight months was
largely responsible for a $2 to 38
increase per barrel in the price of
flour since January lst. NO CARS.

“During' six months of this period
when the car shortage was most acute
the consumption of flour in this
country was’about 61 million bar-'
reis, which, at $2.50 per barrel,
amounts to One hundred ﬁfty two
million ﬁve hundred thousand dollars '
($152,500,000) which is over the
ﬁrst estimate of the cost of the im-
provement of your proposed water-‘
way. '

"It is estimated that 160 million
bushels of wheat will be carried over
from the 1919 crop to the 1920 crop. '
This is about 100 million bushels
above the normal carry-over. There ‘
were plenty of hungry people who
needed this wheat the past year, but
had to go without becauseit did not
get to market. N0 CARS.

“In addition to the loss in quantity
and quality through normal deterior-
ation, and from improper warehous—
ing and vermin, it takes at least 80
per bushel per month at the present
price to carry wheat. Twelve months
at 36c on the carry over of 100 mil-
lion bushels is Thirty-six million dol-
lars ($36,000,000,) which could take
care of the interest on the cost of
your waterway improvement for four
or ﬁve years. This on wheat alone.

“The surplus of grain ﬁxes the
price. The price of our wheat es—
pecially relies upon the European

datum point of all World Crops of

wheat, less transportation, as the
measure of value for our crops, not
only for the surplus but also for the
domestic portion, which markets on
the price level made by the surplus.
"The ﬁfteen states tributary to the
Great Lakes raise annually approxi-
mately three billion bushels of food

grains. . .
“Mr. Hoover estimates that the
proposed St. Lawrence Waterway

would mean a saving in transporta—
tion cost to producer and consumer
of six (6) cents per bushel at least
railroad ‘freight
rates. This means One hundred and
eighty millions (of dollars ($180,000,-
000.) or exceeding for one year the
total cost of proposed waterway—first
estimate—by Thirty eight millions of

dollars ($38,000,000)

“This does not count slaughter
house products or.other, commodi-
ties. This country of the U. S. pro-
duces Two Billion Dollars worth of

ers’ c'o-op‘erative associations can
market their grain are to be work—
ed out by a committee of seventeen
to be appointed by J. R. Howard of
the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tions The appointment of such a
committee is provided for in Reso-
lutions adopted by a conference of
farm organizations and farm mar-
keting associations which concluded
a two day session in Chicago last
week. The resolutions follow:

Report of Grain Committee

RESOLVED, That we recommend
that the Chairman of this Conven-
_ tion appoint a permanent Committee
not to exceed seventeen members,
representing the various organizer-
tlons interested, and with the con—
sent and approval of such organiza-
tions, to consider, formulate, and
submit hereafter for consideration,
a deﬁnite plan of organization
whereby all organizations of grain
producers can conduct co-operative
grain marketing through one or more
central organizations or grain ex—
changes, or such other solutién of
the co—operative marketing problem
as may be approved by such commit—
tee, and that each organization or
interest represented shall bear the
expense of its own delegate or com-
mittee members. That when this
Committee is ready to report, cop-
ies of this report shall be sent to
each organization, and the Chairman

of the American Farm Bureau Fed—
shall call a conference of ’

eration
accredited delegates of such organ-
izations with power to act, to whom
such plan shall be submitted for
adoption or rejection.

Summer Farmers’ Day at East Lansing and Round-up at Chatham

HE DATE for the big Summer

Farmers’ Day at the Michigan
‘ ‘Agricultural College this year has
been set as Saturday, Aug 7. This
day was deﬁnitely. settled upon at a
committee meeting last week.

The meeting which is the first gen-
eral summer gathering to be held at
the college, is expected to draw sev—
eral hundred farmers to East Lans-
ing. Last year the soils department
put on a Soils Day, as you probably
remember. Two years ago the Farm
Crops men held a Wheat Day which
drew a good crowd. This year, how-
ever, both these departments, as well
as other divisions of the college, are
Joining forces to stage a big day
which will be distinctly worth while.
The general plan will be‘somewhat
similar to that in vogue at Ohio
State, Cornell and other institutions
which have found the summer meet-
ing a practical affair.

Soils and crops subjects will re-
ceive'major consideration. More
than 100 acres of crops plats will-be
on inspection, while the soils people
will bring in summaries of ﬁndings
taken from their 80 odd test ﬁelds
scattered out over the state. Timely
phases of these subjects will be dealt
with. This will include fall planting
suggestions, fertilizer requirements,
etc.

Prominent speakers from outside
the state, as well as local leaders,
will address the big afternoon ath-
ering on the campus. Brother 0,
Notre Dame University, will be in—
cluded on the program. L. Whitney
Watkins, Manchester, will. preside for
the afternoon. Invitations have
‘gone out to several of the biggest
men in the country and a ﬁne pro-
gram seems assured. All speakers

Federation the respective freight
problems and car requirements of
their respective districts; and; that
the Federation co-ordinate these re-«

requirements.

III—RESOLVED: That this Con—
vention extend its heartfelt congrat—
ulations to the Federal Trade Cem—
mission for its substantial accom-
plishments in the past, and pledge
the Commission its support in the
future.

IV—RESOLVED: Further that we
believe that true co-operation will
furnish the solution of the grain
marketing problems of this country,
and further that we earnestly sug-
gest that the Commission investigate
the application of co—operative prin-
ciples to the problems of grain mar-
keting and cover the same in its
forthcoming report upon grain con—
ditions in the United States; that in
our opinion no report upon this sub—
ject will be complete without consid—
eration of co—operative principles as
applied to marketing.

V—RESOLVED: That we are
heartily in accord with a Deep-Wa—
terway project and that a copy of
this resolution be sent to the Deep—
Waterway Association now in session
in Detroit.

The Conference was called to con—

organizations and farm marketing as-
sociations operating in the mid—west.

The committee of seventeen is be—
ing composed of representatives of

will hammer on problems of immedi—
ate interest to Michigan farmers.

Special efforts are being made to
provide entertainment for the farm
visitors. A headquarters and rest
room for women will be open in the
college women’s building, where
things of special interest to farm
women will be provided.

Children will be taken care of in
the gymnasium, where games are to
be handled by the college department
of physical training. The pool will
be open for the day—certain hours
for boys and others for girls. Pic-
nic facilities will be provided on the
campus, in order to take care of the
“basket lunch” crowd. Information
and exhibit booths under the campus
trees will be another feature plan-
ned to add to the comfort and pleas-
ure of the crowd.

All in all, the college latchstring
will be out for the day, and it looks
like a big gathering for the farmers.

over 77 per cent of the Californhr‘ ‘ 
sin crop. The result was undreamed;
of prosperity. Fresno, California, "
says was converted thereby from y
city of poverty to the most prosper?
one city of its size in the Unitedi
States. The raisin growers' assocl-r
ation has no capital and opqatee

Elute control over the products’of its
members. The same idea. has been
successfully applied to practically all.
other California products both per-
ishable and non—perishable. '.

“As a solution of the grain mar-
keting problem in the mid west, Mr.
Sapiro advocated organizing in each
state a grain growers association and
the federation of these associations
in a national organization, which
would act as a selling agency for all
grain grown by members of the state
associations. This association would' :
sell direct to millers and distributors, . Z
the entire proceeds, less the actual
cost of handling, being returned to
the producers. He advocated the
formation of a separate corporation»
with capital to take over and co-or—
dinate and standardize the local el-
evators, these elevators to do the
warehousing of the crop, receiving
in return fair interest upon the cap-
ital invested.

“The farmer is essentially a pro-
ducer and not a marketer,” declared-
Mr. Sapiro. “Marketing is expert
work and should be done by experts.- ‘
The trouble with the farmer. is that
he has not been willing to'pay a fair
price for expert service, You have
no right to expect a fair price for!-
wheat if you are not willing to pay
a fair price for brains.”

dertaking the marketing of live stock

packing plants are made public util-

ities.

the leading farm organizations and
co-operative grain and marketing
agencies in the United States. A
convention of these organizations is
to be later called to consider the
recommendations of the committee.

The personnel of the committee
will probably not be announced for
several weeks and it is likely that
some six or eight months will be re-
quired for it to formulate its report.

The committee appointed to make
suggestions on live stock marketing
problems recommended that 21 sep-
arate conference be held in Chicago
in the near future to especially con-
sider this subject.

Co-operation in California

“The farmers of the middle west
have had co—operative grain elevators
for thirty years without even mak-
ing a dent on the market, and the
trouble is you are speculators and
not marketers,” declared Aaron Sa-
piro of San Francisco, addressing a
conference of Farmers’ Organiza—
tions and Farmers’ Covoperative Mar-
keting Associations in session here to
consider means for the stabilizing of
markets for grain and live stock.
Mr. Sapiro is attorney for fourteen of
the largest California producers co—
operative marketing associations,
which he declares are organized on
the American plan of co-operation as
applied to marketing. He also made
and eloquent presentation of the
bean growers’ claims for increased
tariff before the House Ways and
Means Committee last fall.

“You are organized on a Rochdale
plan which is an English consumers’
co-operative buying plan and not a
producers’ marketing plan,” contin‘u-
ed the speaker. Mr. Sapiro then re—
lated the experience of the California
raisin growers who, after repeated
failures to realize cost of produc—
tion, in 1911 united in a co-opera—
tive selling agency having control

promise of being the greatest agri-

pulled off in the Upper Peninsula.

The State Club Leaders have plan-

camp for their members. This camp
is to be situated on the Station Farm
here at Chatham.

The ﬁrst day with the boys will be
a day of special instruction in live

many farmers who have consigned

' wool to the Bureau or have contem-

plated so doing, gives to the farmer

J. the privilege of assigning his wool

to his local banker and receiving a

' loan upon the wool.

How, It Works

For instance, John Jones has a
hundred fleeces of wool which be-
cause of the stagnancy of the woo1
market he does not care to sell out-
right. He arranges to pool his wool
with the Michigan Statei Farm Bu-
reau. Under the initiadv-plan the
Bureau would advance to him 76 per
cent of the present market value of
his wooland would hold his wool at
his direction until the market was
more favorable to sell it. Under a

’ later devised plan, the Farm Bureau
i issues a receipt to the wool growers,
I showing the number of pounds receiv-

ed, the grading, and other essential
facts. Upon the back of this receipt
is an assignment blank that reads
ll follows: ‘

"The undersigned hereby assigns

‘ to the below named bank or banker,
; the right to receive and collect from

the Michigan State Farm Bureau the

Biography

Charles B. Scully of Almont, sen-
ator from the twenty-ﬁrst district,
comprising the counties of Lapeer
and Tusco-la, has always lived in La-
peer county, and was born on a farm
in Alm'ont township, June 17, 1878,
of American parents. He was edu—
cated in the district school and the
Almont high school, later studying
privately with special training from
the Michigan Agricultural College.
Mr. Scully is married and has two
sons and one daughter. He has al-
ways been active in social and frat-
ernal affairs; is a member of several
Masonic bodies, the Cleaners and the
Grange; and has just retired from his
second term as president of the Mich-
igan State Association of Farmers’
Clubs; two years president Michigan
Crop Improvement Association. He
was secretary for three years of the
Michigan Berkshire Breeders' Reg—‘
ister Association. He is also well

. known as a lecturer on agricultural

subjects, and is recognized as a pie—
neer in the good roads movement in
Lapeer county. He is secretary and
treasurer of the Lapeer County Farm-
ers' Mutual Fire Insurance Associ-
ation and is afﬁliated with several
other insurance companies. Mr. Scul-
ly is a Republican and after holding
various township offices was elected
to the senate in 1916, re-elected Nov-
ember 6, 1918. ' -

-.

Sen. Scu-lly’s two terms in the state
Senate were unusually active and
useful. He was a member of the
most important committees, viz.,_ in-
surance (chairman, two t‘erm‘s,)
elections,-taxation, executive busi-
ness and industrial schools. During
his two terms he introduced1 and p9.sz
ed more than a sunset 'bi’l'ls and‘re's-
olutions of a progressive nature.
Other "meritorious hills which ‘1 he
drafted or actively sponsored were
defeated. Principal among the lat-
ter was his constitutional amendment
resolution to authorize the“ enact-
ment of an income tax law. ' Sen
Scully has always been a ﬂrfn be-
liever in the income tax, as the most
equitable form of taxation, but his
efforts to bring about the‘necessary
legislation have thus far been de—
feated. -

Among the more important bills
which he intrOduced are the follow-
ing: “The Insurance Code” bill, the
second largest bill ever Introduced
into the Michigan legislature, a bill
giving husband and wife the right to
own property jointly (without invali-
dating their‘credi‘t and ﬁnancial
standing; a bill. to amend the agri-
cultural commissionact for the pur—
pose of giving“ greater ﬁnancial as-
sistance to the weaker fairs of the
state; to authorize the investment of
trust funds in farm .loan bonds
(Thismeasure was not reported out
of the Committee) :y a bill to revise
and consolidate the laws relative to
the production, manufacture and
sale of milk and milk products.
(This- was a timely measure and had
the support of the Federated Agri-
cultural Legislative Committee, but
could not be pried out of the Com-
mittee of Public Health); a bill re-

The County Agent’s Work as Viewed by a County Agent

tomers, andthey are amply protect-7-
ed by the form of receipt rendered by
the Bureau. '

The Michigan'State Farm Bureau
has to date pooled more wool than
any other single state bureau in the
country. The pool at the present
time contains approximately 18,000,-
000 pounds, half of which is in the
hands of local assemblers, the ware-
houses in Lansing being full. That
the pool will contain eventually at
now a
practical certainty. "

With the FarmBureau having con-
trol of at least one half of the en-
tire wool clip off-Michigan it is in -a
position to virtually dictate" the

movement of the Michigan crop. At ,

the same time it is clear that this
fact would hold forth no advantage
were the other and larger-producing
wool states to place their clips on‘th‘e
market without regard for existing
conditions, and without some kind
of co-operation with the wool hold-
ing parties of other states._ Wears
informed however that the Michigan
State Farm Bureau has received as-
surances from several important
wool producting states that they
have no thought ‘_ of puttin’g'th‘eir
clip on the V market at the" present
ridiculously low prices. And from
states where there isuno wool pool;
independent helders of wool _are
just as determined to await a re-"
turn of decent prices before they sell

is in such a condition todaythat it
wOuld not require the unloading of,

TRACTOR BREAKS HARDPAN

question or two concerning tractors.

I have not heard that the tractor,
as used in western farming, produc-
ed a hardpanin thesoil as you men-
tion. ‘ It is quite probable that, due
to the immense weight of the tract-
ors in that part of the country, that
such a condition exists. For Mich-

to be beneﬁcial in breaking up the
hardpan. I doubt very much wheth-

, er trewestern farmers will go back
to t sense of horses to any great ex-

special one.

that a tractor should prove proﬁt-
able on a farm of 100 to 140 acres
where ﬁelds are laid out in plots of
ﬁfty acres or more. However, I be-
lieve that the original investment
should be under 81,500. The De-
partment cannot recommend makes
of tractor to buy. I would suggest,
however, that certain things should
be considered before purchasing and
they are as follows: the tractor com-
pany should be well established; the
tractor should be out of the experi-
mental stage and should have ade-
‘ q'uate service to customers. A tract-
or rated anywhere from 8-16 to 12-25
should ﬁt your needs very well.—

CHICKENS LOSE FEATHERS

Will you please publish in your pager
what- to defer sprin‘g chicks wh n_.t ey
ose {h ir. feathers. 2' e have Rec s that

velh re necks and bodies except a few
eathers on wings. Please tell what to
o with chicks with diarrhoea. A Sub—
soriber, Mariette, Mich,

I would judge that the chicks
mentioned have not lost their feath-
ers but rather have not grown any
due to slow maturity.

We ﬁnd in many flocks that cer-
tain chicks for some reason do not
grow as rapidly as others in the
'flock and it is those slow maturing
chicks that exhibit a more or less
nude appearance. There is no known
remedy to correct this condition.

In regard to your chicks with diar-
rohea I would say that if this is what
is known as White Diarrohea there
is no known cure for it. In this case
it might be a diarrohea and a pre-
ventative in the form of sour milk
could be given. For the ﬁrst two
weeks of the chick's life give no wa-
ter and only sour milk for drinking
for this will prevent the spread of
White Diarrchea.—W. E. Newton, Ae-
ustant in Poultry Husbandry, M. A. O.

They Would Be Governor

IGHT CANDIDATES have entered the

race for the governorship on the Republi-
can ticket. They are: Milo D. Campbell, Cold-
water; Luren Dickinson, Charlotte; A. J.
Groesbeck, Detroit; Frank B. Leland, Detroit;
Cassius L. Glasgow, Nashville; F. C. Martin-
dale, Detroit; Horatio S. Earle, Detroit; C.
S. Mott, Flint. . i \

- Milo D. Campbell was the ﬁrst to announce
his candidacy. He was invited to become a
candidate by the federated committee of the
Grange, Gleaners’ and Farmers’ Clubs, and
was promised the support of those organza-
tions. It was a conspicuous case of the ofﬁce
seeking the man. C. S. Mott claims to have

 

' nlikewise been urged into the race by his friends.

Both he and Campbell are now among the act
ive contenders for the job. Nearly all the
other gentlemen mentioned have .nourished
gubernatorial ambitions for years, and if they
ared efeated they will not be in a position to
lay the blame upon their friends as their can-
didacies are believed to have been largely self-
inspired.

It is not the'purpose of The Business Farm-
er to even discuss the claims put forth by
seven of the eight candidates in behalf of
their respective candidacies. We do not con-
cede that the defeat of any one of these men
will be a “blow” to the Commonwealth, nor
will victory insure everlasting glory. Each of
the candidates has some peculiar quality which
commends him for the job, and possibly each
possesses some shortcoming which might be
used against his aspirations. So far as The
Business Farmer and its readers as concerned

there will be no microscopic examinations made ~

of the various candidates in an effort to pick
out their flaws and hold them up to public
'view. So far as the farmers are concerned the
issues involved in the coming primaries and
 the points of difference between the respective
condidates are clean cut and easily compre-
hended.

Milo, Campbell has been called the “farm-
er candidate.” Some of his enemies have tak-'
en exception to this on the ground that Mr.
Campbell is not a practical farmer. Neverthe-
less'that name is correct in the sense that he
is the “candidate of the farmers,” and receiv-

‘ ed an endorsement from the farmers such as
was never before given to a prospective polit—
ical candidate in Michigan. He did not seek

 i-  be a candidate. Although he knew that the

derated committee of the farm organizations

4’ reintended 'to endorse a man for Governor;

.knew, moreover, that he was considered among
Several others, he employed no influence what-

»members on the committee. 0n the contrary,

’ “when asked an opinion as to, the ﬁtness of an-

other prospective candidate for the endorse-

   . a    
Th" question has *been asked why the 
organizations have - endorsed a man for» -Gov-
ernor who is not a practical farmer, but the
answer to that is to merely refer the question
to the record that Mr. Campbell has made 'dur-
ing the past few years in farm organization
work. Not all of the men who have done the
biggest things for the farming business have
been practical farmers. It was as a result of
their being brought into centact wth other bus-
inesses and other people that they were able
to be of service to agriculture. The trouble
with many men who leave the ranks of the
farmers for greater service in othergﬂelds is
that they lose the farm touch. Milo Campbell
was born on a farm, worked on a farm and
earned his way all through life. But'although
his work has taken him far aﬁeld from farming
at times, he has never forgotten the needs of
the farmer, nor been so occupied with other
matters that he did not have the time to de-
vote to agricultural problems when opportunity
presented. It was in recognition of what Milo
Campbell has actually accomplished for the
farming business that the farm organizations
have given him their unqualiﬁed endorsement.

It is no exaggeration to say that Milo Camp-

  

bell is the choice of 90 per cent of the farmers

of Michigan. Fifty per cent of the farmers of
Michigan can nominate him providing every
man and Woman of them go to the polls and
vote. But they cannot nominate him by stay-
ing home. Let the farmer who wants to see a
man‘elected Governor of Michigan who has
shown by his deeds that his heart is with the
farming business,—let every such farmer make
up his mud to go to the polls no matter what
may tempt him to stay at home,—and Milo
Campbell is as good as clacted.

It Is to Laugh
T IS TO laugh to mention the State Con-
stabulary. Here are a couple hundred able-

bodied men who could do good servce at manu- -

a1 labor on farms or in the factories frittering
away their time and the people’s money chas-
ing mangy and unlicensed dogs down the high-
ways and searching for imaginary desperadoes
in the orchards. '

The fellow who originated that scribble
about the censtabulary “protecting” the or-
chards must be strangely lacking in a sense of
humer. We feel that it would be a reflection
upon the intelligence of our readers .to dwell
upon the humanly impossible task of a half
dozen troopers protecting the thousands of or-
chards in the several fruit growing counties of
the state, when a man’s innate common sense
tells him that to effectively patrol the fruit re-
gions would require a force ten thousand
strong.

Employing the state constabulary for such
nonsensical purposes as checking up unlicensed
dogs and petrollig pncaceful rural districts is
nothing but a up to the farmers]. The fellows
who are respeusible for the existence of this
military force are trying desperately hard to
keep it busy in the apparent interest of the
two strongest classes of people in the state, the
farmers and the industrial concerns. The ma-
jor opposition to the Constabulary when the
bill creating it was up and since have been the
farmers, and the politicians who were smooth
enough to feist such a military machine onto
the state think they are smooth enough to blind
the people to its utter uselessness.

No, sir, the state Constabulary was never

created to chase cats and dogs and apple bur-‘

glars. The immediate object of the bill was
to give someene a job and reward political
friends. The second was to create a political
machine. - The Constabulary has admirably
fulfilled its mission in these respects so why
not give it an honorable discharge and have an
end to- the expensive farce.

Land Values

THE. NEWSPAPERS of the city are still
trying to make the farmer out a lucky
dog because of the increase in land values. Cit;
ing statistics whichnever existed only in his
imagination a certain newspaper editor at-

tempts to show that landﬁvalues have increased

might be led to believe that when. a farm is
sold at ten per. cent more than a, neighboring
farm was sold a year previous that all the
farms in the vicinity promptly yield 11 a crop
of gold representing their increased ‘ value.”
Whatever opinion city newspaper editors
may have upon this score our observation con-
vinces us that nothing of, that kind happens.
In fact, we have yet to learn of a single in-
stance where the increase in land values even
added one whit to the productive fertility of
the soil of neighboring farms. ,
Speculation ‘of real estate ﬁrm have had
more to do with increasing farm land values

  

, s '

_ than anything else. ‘The fact that the trend of
population has been steadily for years from

the farm to the city should appealt'to an intel-
ligent man as evidence enough that it' is not
always the value of the products which a piece
of land can grow that determines its market
value. An increase of adjoining land values
if of no beneﬁt to another farmer unless he
sells his farm. And if every farmer whpm these
increases in land values are supposed to bone-
ﬁt should place his farm upon the market val-
ues would take a sudden drop and no one
would beneﬁt.

Increase in land values cannot be taken as
an infallble gauge of farm prosperity. Spec-
ulation, coupled with an abnormal demand for
farm products, may jump farm realty values
ten per cent this year, only to be succeeded by
a year of low prices, with more farms for sale
than there are buyers. It is, therefore, foolish
to talk about the farmers “getting” increases
in land values. For they do not.

The Harvest Is On

THERE IS music in the air. The clickoty-
clack of the binder and the swish-swash of
falling grain are heard from the ﬁelds hard

by. 'A month ago green bonneted grain rip- .

pled there in the breeze; yesterday it glowed
in the sun like unburnished copper; today
nothing remains but an ugly stubble.

The harvest is on. From north to south and
east to west the farmers are gathering in the
grain. Here the harvest is good; there is is

poor. Here it will yield a fair proﬁt; there it'

may scarcely be worth the cutting. But that
is always the way. It will always be the way.
The soil will always vary in its fertility; the
seed in its vitality; the elements in their
moods; and man in his habits and methods of
farming. And these are the quartet of factors
that enter into the making of a crop.

Well, says Hiram, I worried _my head oil?
over an early frost last spring; calculated for
sure that we were going to have a drought this
month; knew for a certainty that the cat crop
was going" to be a failure; and bet my last
Canadian quarter that hogs would take a drop
with" corn. None of them things happened,
but I’ll be hanged if I can help worrying about
what the future is going to bring forth. Life

AS VIEWED BY A RENTER

I am a reader of your valuable pa-
per and have noticed the articles
about keeping the boys and girls on
the farm. I think that it is impossi-
ble to do this as most of them can go
to the city and get their eight dol-
lars a day and they are sure of it
every day. I don’t see anything to
keep me and my family from going
to the city. I am an experienced
farmer, but I cannot make any mon-
ey here on this farm.

We lived in the city nine years and
made and saved more money than I
ever did on the farm. There
lots of others in the same boat that
I am in., When you go to rent a
farm everyone wants more rent than
the value of the products you sell off
the farm. I tried to get a good farm
this spring but they asked too much
I am glad that I did not rent
the high-priced ones as I could not
have made my rent from them this
year. The farm I am living on is
not much of a farm and I knew it
when I moved on, but we do not
like city life, but we are going to
the ‘clty this winter if we do not find
a good farm to work where there is
a chance to make some money. I
have my own help to work a farm
of eighty acres. We are going out
to work in haying and harvest as it
doesn’t take us long to take care of
our own. We have about thirty—five
acres of crops in.

Please print this in THE BUSINESS
FARMEB for this is one of Uhe reasons
why men are leaving their farms.
We can go to the city and work a
little over half the time we put in
on the farm and save as much as
we can here. We know what we are
talking about from experience. If a
man hasn't enough money to buy a
farm he has no business on it.—

Wm. Daniella, Winegar, Mich.

I am going to make a. prediction. You
will not go to the city. In the first place
there isn't the demand today for city
laborers that there was six months ago,
and unless financial and transportation
conditions become very much improved
during the next six months, which is
very doubtful you are going to see some
industries closed down and men thrown
out of employment. 'In the second place
you are going to see a back to the farm
movement. It has already started. It
is going slowly. You men who are on
farms today are going to thank your
lucky stais a. ear from today that you
know how to arm and despite the long
hours and risks and meagre returns you

THE PATRIOTISM 0F CATHOLICS

While I am willing to listen to any-
one who will argue sanely and in-

an open insult to anyone of the Cath-
olic faith. ~

Why does not Mr. R. F‘. Lamb prac-
tice a little of that Americanism he
so ants about? Does he not know
the the Constitution of this great
United States grants religious liber-
ty of conscience to anyone and that
no religious test shall be asked as a
qualiﬁcation for anLomce? Does he
not know that the winning essay on
"What are the Benefits to be Derived
from an Enlistment in the Navy,"
was from a scholar, the product of
the parochial schools? He and his
kind will say that a Catholic cannot
be patriotic but how does he account
for the fact that with Catholics num-
bering only about eighteen "per cent
of the population, the number in the
army and navy numbered between
thirty and forty per cent Catholic in
the late war. In our town of Rich-
mond tw-o out of the five killed or
maimed in battle were Caltholics.

Why will he not go and inspect
the parochial schools before making
accusations, for I claim and contend

The late war was to end all fighting

now star-t a religious war of hate
and biggotry? God forbid. I would
advise these mis-guided persons to
read what the leading men of this
state and other states among them
Ex-Governor Ferris have to say about
this proposed amendment. I am
sure that we have enough fair-mind-
ed people to defeat such a measure
that would bring hatred strife and

DON’T BLAME Tim BOYS FOR
GOING TO CITY

I have been a reader of your pa-
per for some time. Will say it is
the best business paper printed.

I have read in your columns sev-
eral ideas in regard to the farm and
the farmer let me tell you right here
now if things don’t pay out this year
there will be one less farmer in the
U. S. to raise feed and then go to
the bank and borrow money to pay
taxes with. I have a farm that is
worth $10,000 producing about three
thousand dollars worth of foodstuff
a year and by the time I pay the ex-
penses I have no interest on the mon-
ey whatever. You may think this
strange but its true talk about the
young men going to the city. Can
you blame them? They are getting
better pay, shorter hours and easier
work. I would go there myself if I
were in their position. Anybody
would be a fool that wouldn’t. Some
day somebody is going to wake up
hungry. The farmers have endur—
ed this no-proﬂt business for the past
five years with the promise of bet-
ter next year. Sugar 34 cents a
pound and wheat $2.50 a bushel go
good together doesn’t it? If I don’t
make any money this year my farm
is not going to operate next year. I
am going to put a lock on my gates
and go to the city myself. I am go—
ing to let my farm stay right where
it is. I guess it won’t run away and
if I get starved out after while in the
city I can come back at any time. I
have been a farmer all my life ex-
cept three years which I spent in the
city. I have worked at everything
from bell boy up and I never made
my property farming.

What can a man do that is in debt

for his farm? Ask any one that is in '

that position and see What they say
now in regard to the farm situation.
I will tell you how I think it should
be. Guarantee the farmers a proﬁt
for his work and interest on his mon-
ey he has invested and he will do
the rest._ I have enough to keep me
if I don’t farm but I like farming,
like to work in the ﬁelds better than
any place on earth. The country is
a nice place to live, a good place to
bring up your children, the best place
in the world for health and happi~

- uses but when a man has to run his

hand down in his pocket after work-

ing fifteen hours a day it's time to
quit. I lived in Detroit in the wint-
er of 1907—cou1dn't get a job at
any price but I think that was noth—
ing to what is coming. The price of
farm produce is high enough if other
stuff was down where it ought to be
a farmer would get rich but every
time farm stuff goes up a cent other
goods goes up a dollar. Now I am
not writing you this because the pres-
ent situation is hurting me any but
to give you my idea. Believe me if
this dog eat dog keeps up somebody
is going to be hungry—A. Reader,
Clinton County.

 

No. we cannot blame the country boys
for going to the city. But like the prodi-
glal son many of them will come back.

igh wages, short hours and easy work
sounds good but when they get there, esp
pecially young men who are married,
and find houses 875 to 150 a month, po-
tatoes $7 and $8 per ushel and other
eatables in like proportion, little if any
garden, no pure air, streets noisy night
and day, and every way you turn some
expense. it doesn't look as well as it
sounded. If you take a. day off to go to
the county fair or fishing you don't lose
your Job or a day's pay, do you? Not

CATHOLIC SCHOOL DON’T TEACH
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

I have never written to the Neigh—
bors’ Page yet, but after reading
the article written by J. B., Kent
00., in a recent M. B. F. on parochial
school amendment, I can't keep still.

I went to a Catholic school five
year's and if he says that they teach
behind closed doors, “Lord knows
what,’ he tells a lie outright. Any—
body is welcome to visit our school
and see what is going on and ex—
cepting ﬁfteen minutes study on re-
ligion in the morning, he would see
the same routine of study as in any
public school. Why don’t J. B. go
and see what is going on behind said
closed doors before he comes to the
brainless conclusion that they are
teaching Bolshevism? I think the
Bolshevists of this country are those
Godless, weak-minded creatures
who are trying to put religion out of
the way. With God and religion
knocked in the head it will be an
easy matter to put law and order out
of business, so as to be free to do as
they like—no law to interfere with
their doings. He further says we
pay thousands of dollars to send
Bolshevists to Russia. Well, I think
if we spent a few more thousands to
send these Godless, weak—minded
creatures to Hades. this grand free
America of ours would be a much
grander place to live in than it is
today. Let these fellows have their
way and this country won’t be _much
better than Russia, because it will
cease to be a free country. We have
been readers of M. B. F. since it
existed and it is the best there is.—
Mrs. J. 11., Clinton County.

. THE FOOD YOU EAT

Prices for farm products, on the
farms are today practically station-
ary, compared with prices one year
ago. '

But——

Wholesale prices for food, in the
cities, have increased 34 per cent
and retail prices for 12 leading food
groups have increased 50 per cent in
the same period. “’

You are paying more for the food
you' eat, but the farmer who grows
that food isn’t getting one cent of
that incresTse.

Who is getting it? 'The speculat-'

or, the storage plant, the holder of
foods. the Jobber, the commission-
man the retailer, all the long line “of
middlemen. They are pocketing the
proceeds. That is why—'—

1.—There is a shortage of farm
labor which in turn makes for less
food in the near future, and——
2.—Your cost of living has risen so
abnormally high.

Co—operation, a direct transporta-
tion from a producing group to a,
consuming group, appears the best,
quickest and most easily arrived-at
s'olution.—Detroit Times.

 

(Note: When the editor of
THn‘BusmEss Fanmna was asked at
a meeting of) the Wayne County Fair
Price Committee last fall, how he
would lessen the spread between pro-
ducer and ’consumer, he suggested
the exact remedy in almost the exact
words as presented above.)

    
  
    

ATTORNEY GENERAL- SRO.
OONSIDERABLE AUTHORITXQ'

. Ks there is some" agitation .th'
the papers in regard to the prone"
amendment on parochial schools
would like to say a word or two,
ing in a position to speak from, g _V
sonal observation, or in other we .

“been through the mill.” For m’ .
years the Catholic denomination ’
conducted parochial schoolsand ‘
later on Lutherans and Seven.
Adventists, until it has
great factor in educational .
Why is it, and for what purpose 
these religious people carry on s a
system contrary to the public school?
Simply to catchism their respective
children in the faith of their fathers.
keeping them in ignorance of outside
worldly education, which has a tend-
ency to develop the pupil in a much,
broader development and not as a
jug handle, all on one side. I heard
a minister of the gospel say: “My
children will have to meet the. world
as they find it, and will have to make
a choice of religion for themselves.
I will endeavor to give them the best
I have at home and in church calpa-
city, leaving the result with them.” I
It is an old adage—“Education forms '
the mind, and as the twig is bent the
tree inclines.”

It is also true in a political way,
boys follow in the political faiths of
their dads. But not so much so now
as in the past. If I am correctly in-
formed, the Catholics are working to
get their public school tax money,
which they now pay, appropriated for
their parochial schools, saving to
them a double burden, as well as the.
other denominations which are in-
volved.

It shows to a person looking on,“-
that something is out of joint some-
where, either with them or with our
public schools. Which is it? I be-
lieve it is with them. There is no
real foundation for carrying on two
separate systems. A child should
come in contact with others, and not
be like a potato plant grown in the
shade. The plant must have sun:
light which develops and brings.
forth results. :

If the home and church can't hold
their children in the faith, there is 
something lacking, instead of lay- I 
ing it to the public school. When, i
did our great instructors get their
education? Not in a parochial school
by any means. _,

Behind the scenes there is an ele-
ment brought to bear upon parochial
pupils which virtually says: “I am ,
right and you are wrong” in religious .‘3
faith, causing s. friction when the r-‘zi
two elements meet. If there is not' ‘ '
enough essential element in a church
denomination to hold the young, and
send them to the public school, then
there is something which is lacking
and which should be remedied if
possible.

I am for religious liberty, as far
as compelling a person to do this or
that if it interferes with his religion
or conscience. But the church
school is a side issue to the church;
If the public school teachers erron‘
these good people should by voice{
and vote help to make conditions bets
ter instead of letting things go 
year after year. 

I think that the Attorney General '
has usurped considerable responsié‘
bility in denying citizens the right to
petition according to the Constitu-
tion. It smacks of one man power, 2
which we have had enough of for '
some little time past. If the voters
don’t want the amendment, vote it
down, but a little airing upon' this
‘question pro and con will be of, “ ._
portance to the welfare of all a "
cerned. ‘ *

Any system, whether religious‘ up
political that will not stand Wm '
vestigated is made of shoddy:

CLOTHING FOR A GIRL THIRTEEN
" T0 SIXTEEN ‘ ‘
LOTHING -for a girl from thir—
'-teen to sixteen is'a'to‘pic to be
_- -- treated quite diﬂere'ntly from
the~ same theme a generation ago.
Then mothers were married against
allowing their daughters to wear
their clothing tight or heavy: cor-
sets which drew in the waist line, or
long,"qu skirts hanging from the
waist; Now, we rail instead, against
the scanty attire which the girl de-
pends upon -to protect her from the
winter’s cold. Skirts so short and
scant, no pettlcoats can be crowded
under them, stocking and waists so
thin that real underwear would
show through and cannot be worn,
neck lines low in winter, shoes also
low except for the heels. What,
then, would the dress reformer sug-
gest, who used to demand weight
hung from the shoulders, and‘room
for the lungs to expand? Light-
weight, warm undergarments, not
necessarily woolen, for winter; the
knitted gauze for summer as requir-
ing no ironing and plenty for all sea-
sons, toallow for frequent launder—
ing, low comfortable, light weight,
properly—ﬁtted corset or corset waist,
fresh, simple, muslin corset covers
or combinations not over-trimmed
with useless ribbon bows, and dress-
es, the one-piece, loose, becoming
sort, to be found in profusion for
both winter and summer wear. Sen-
sible, flatheeled, “growing—girl"
shoes, by all means, and a good qual-
ity, for it is no economy to buy poor
shoes. Stockings should be sensi-
.ble too, good quality lisle or cotton,
rather than the thin, second-rate silk
hose, which develop ladder-runs on
the ﬁrst wearing. It may be hard
to induce a girl of this age to adopt
the former when most of her mates
are allowed to wear the latter every
day, but even if the family pocket—

 
    

EAR CHILDREN: Here's a new
mule story I heard the other
day, and it is so good, I pass it

on to you. Dr. Crane, who is a very
famous story teller, says that in lots
of ways lots of times, we might bet-
ter be like the mule. Now we have
never given the mule much credit
for being of a disposition we might
wish to imitate, but here is the way
' Dr. Crane puts it: He says that the
reason we are always running down
the mule is because he is stubborn—
and that sometimes it isgbetter to be

able to just be stubborn, than to _do-_

too much. For instance, _it's very,
easy to say “yes” when some of‘our
playmates invite us to join them and
play “just a little longer”. when we

know that mother has sent us on an « u
errand and that she is in: a hurry. 
Now if wb would imitate the mul'e, we

would be stubborn—would ‘would
tell them “no” w {h}:
harder to do than’ftanyt __
know of. To be like this": ‘   I
must simply “"do nothing§gsijnktibe
"fmti'l-ish"———refuse to g .ﬁihm, ‘if
you please. And sometima's' _when
\ there’s a little temptation comes our
' way, it shows much more strength
do nothing than to go with the
yawd. So let's remegémf the mule

Enrico~Solano bowed acquiescence
and was Just in the act of ordering
Alesandro to go and fetch the mon—
ey, when the quiet, spirit-subdued
Indian maid created a diversion. Run—
ning into the room and up to Enrico
as they had never seen her run be-
fore, she wrung her hands and wept
I0 incoherently that they knew her
paroxysm was of joy, not of sadness.

“The Senorita !" she was ﬁnally
able to whisper hoarsely. as she in-
dicated the side piazzo with a nod
of head and glance of eyes. “The
Senorita l,”

And Yi Poon and his secret were
forgotten. Enrico and his sons
streamed out to the side piazzo to
behold Leoncia and the Queen and
the two Morgans, dropping dust—cov—
ered on the backs of riding mules
recognizable as from the pastures of
the mouth of the Gualaca River. At
the same time two Indian man—ser—
vents, summoned by the maid, clear-
ed the house and grounds of the fat
Ohinaman and his old crone of a
companion.

“Come some other time." they told
him. “Just now the Senor Solano is
very importantly busy." '

“Sure I come some other time,"
Yi Poon assured them pleasantly,
without resentment and without be-
trayal of the disappointment that
was his at his deal interrupted just
ere the money was paid into his-hand.

But he departed reluctantly. The
place was good for his business. It
was sprouting secrets. - Never was
there a riper harvest in Canaan out
of which, sickle in hand, a husband-
man‘was driven. Had it not been
for the zealous Indian attendants, Yi
Poon would have darted around the
corner of the hacienda to note the
newcomers. As it was, half way
down the- hill, ﬁnding the weight of
thefcmne too fatiguing, he put into
her 't‘heri (e and ability to carry her
own :weig t .a little farther by feed—
ing 3her a double teaspoonful of
brandy, from his screw-top flask.

Enrico swept Leoncia off her mule,
ere she could dismount, so passion-
ately eager was he to fold her in his

head.

generousness, put her arm around

from Francis, and led the way into
the hacienda.

CHAPTER XXIII.

IN ALL the magniﬁcence of medie-
val Spanish and New World coe—
“‘ tume such as was still affected by
certain of the great haciendados of
Panama, Torres rode along the beach.
road to the home of the Solanos.
Running with him, at so easy a lope
that it promised an extension that
would outspeed the best of Torres’
steed, was the great white hound that
had followed him down the subter-
ranean river. As Torres turned to
take the winding road up the hill to
the hacienda, he passed Yi Poon,
who had paused to let the old crone
gather strength. He merely noticed
the strange couple as dirt of the com-
mon people. The hauteur that he
put on with his magniﬁcence of ap-
parel forbade that he should betray
any interest further than an unsee-
ing glance. '

But him Yi Poon noted with slant
Oriental eyes that missed no~details.
And Yi Poon thought: He looks very
rich. He is a friend of the Solanos.
He rides to the house. He may even
be a lover of the Senorita Leoncia—
or a worsted rival for her love. In
almost any case, he might be expect-

 

 

 

 

‘pool before the onslaught of

ed to buy thesecret of the Senorita
Leoncia’s birth, and he certainly
looks rich, most rich.

Inside the hacienda, assembled in
the living room, were the returned
adventurers and all the Solanos. The
Queen taking her turn in piecing out
the narrative of_ all that had occurr-
ed, with flashing eyes was denounc—
ing Torres for his theft of the jewels
and described his fall into the whirl-
the
bound. when Leoncia, at the window
with Henry, uttered a sharp exclama-
tion.

“Speak of the devil!” said Henry.
“Here comes Torres himself."

"Me first!" Francis cried, doub-
ling his fist and flexing his biceps
signiﬁcantly.

“No.” decreed Leoncia. “He is a
wonderful liar. He is a very wonder-
ful liar, as we've all found out. Let
us have some fun. He is dismount-
ing now. Let the four of us disap—
pear—Father!" With a wave of
hand she indicated Enrico and all

his sons. “You will sit around de-
solate over the loss of me. This
-scoundrel Torres will enter.‘ You

will be thirsty for information. He
will tell you no one can guess what
astounding lies about us.- As for
us, we’ll hide behind the screen

“It is the home of mystery," he ,
continued, after giving due time for
the subsidence of the ﬁrst violent out-.

them when they died. Had they fol-5

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW

discount. The decline in prices has
not only hit the United States but is
being felt in England and France.

which she keeps in force. This law
keeps the importation of goods from
another country down to a minimum
but it is rumored that this law is
soon to be lifted enough to allow
ﬂioshippinginofgoodsofallldnds
from Belgium and other certain
countries. Another factor that keeps
prices up in France is that the whole-
lllers and retail shopkeepers alike
are better organized in that country
thanhereintheStatesorinEng-
land. But with the raising of their
protection law, or “protection de-
cree," as it is called there, lower
prices will be sure to follow.

Some market authorities are get-
ting rather frightened over the ap-
pearance of the conditions in this
country. A few even go as far as to
believe there wil be a panic. But
why should we have a panic? The
results of a national survey, which
was made public at the meeting of
the National Association of Super-
visors of State Banks at Seattle re-
cently, shows state banks in a very
healthy condition with good deposits
and resources. Another oﬁlcial re-
port shows that bankruptcies during
the last year in the state of Michigan
has decreased nearly 45 per cent
over the year before. This may be
a higher per cent of decrease in fail-
ures than all of the states would
average, but ﬁguring very conserv-
atively you can safely say that the
general average would show a large
decrease rather than otherwise. Of
course the public has got to stop
spending as lavishly as they have been
doing but they are realizing this and
have been slowing down for the past
few months as is shown by the large
number of sales put on throughout
the country. With the present indi-
cations we cannot see a panic.

The Labor Board has granted in-
creased wages to railroad employees
amounting to $600,000,000, and the
public is to pay the bill. If freight
rates are increased to handle this
it will mean an increase of about 44
per cent according to unoiﬁcial esti-
mates. However, shippers may not
have to bear all of this expense as
the railroads may increase passenger
rates to handle part of it. The in-
crease in wages, without question,
will make better shipping facilities
because the experienced men will
again resume work, and more cars
will be available for marketing the
farmers‘ crops.

Crop prospects, especially in the
big grain growing sections, are very
good. Grain has been moving in
fairly good volume. The Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
declares that this country will har-
vest 525,000,000 bushels 'of winter
wheat and 290,000,000 bushels of
spring wheat this year; that the com
crop looks ﬁne; and that the apple
crop will amount to 00,000 cars,
worth not less than $72,000,000.

thought that the crop is too far
ahead now for the black rust to do
much damage to the grain even
should hot weather again appear
within the next day or two. So
much further damage from the rust
is not expected. The checking of
this arch enemy of wheat has had a
tendency to weaken the market.
curtailing of the export demand the
past week has also helped to work
the market into a weaker condition.
The United States has around 150,-
000,000 bushels of last year’s wheat
{at available for exportation and the

arvestlng of the 1920 crop is on.
There is a good export market but
according to reports, most of these
nations must buy on credit, and Uncle
Sam wants the cash as most of these
countries already owe him large
sums so he is, you might say, "all
dressed up and no place to go." But
some of these countries must be set-
ting some money some way because
there is an export demand in this
country which at times plays a very
strong part in making the prices.
Europe is going to need considerable
wheat between this fall and the ﬁrst
of the year. They are not paying
much attention to the crop here but
are very anxiously watching the pro-
gress of the wheat in Argentina and
Australia as these two countries owe
Europe considerable money and Eur-
ope can take grain in payment on
the loans. These countries will not
be able to supply all of Europe's
needs. of course, and North Ameri-
ca will have to furnish part, but it
all depends on how large a yield
these two countries have—if they
have a small crop America will stand
alone as an exporter.

market two weeks ago has caused ‘

slight advances in prices during the

strength has been lost to all appear-
ance, owing to favorable reports
from growing districts and a ten-
dency of dealers and speculators to
sell heavily. The cool weather we
have been having the past few days
may hold the price of corn from go-
ing lower ilor a short time because
corn needs hot weather night now.

siderable rain of late and if we can-

be a lot of soft com this fall. One
prominent crop authority says that un-

near future, that we will have the
largest crop of corn this fall that was
ever on record. Corn prices are ex-
pected to recede from now on for
several months and the farmer that
can sell in advance at least half of
his 1920 crop is advised to do so.

There is little to say about the oat
market this week. This grain has been
more sensitive to the changes during
the past week, it appears than other
grains and prices are slightly lower
than those given on this page a. week
ago. Harvest is on in many states and
they report that a good yield is expect-
ed but how'bd-g a yield will not be
known until the threshing is done.
Nearly all states report the crop in
ﬁne condition but straws short. Short
straws will not hinder the production
of a large crop. New oats are not ex-
pected to appear on the market until
about the middle of August. Oats fol-
low very closely the movement of corn
and the prices will travel downward,
it is believed. until about the ﬁrst of
the year.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The CentimercrialL Bulletin says:

“President Wo'od, of the American
Woolen Co., epitomizes the wool sit-
uation when he says that the market
is awaiting. the buyers. The market

LIVESTOCK MARKETS
(By H. H. Mack)

For more than two months, the De-
troit cattle market has been swinging
between grain and grass but. at
last, the jig is up and from now on,
until Michigan cattle get much bet—
ter, cattle from the southwest will
produce the larger part of the beef
consumed in Detroit and environs.
Only those who are familiar with the
daily trade in the Detroit live stock
market realize how desperately poor
has been the quality of the Michigan
cattle that have been received at, the
local yards during the past month
and the time has come when Detroit
killers must have a certain number
of better cattle to mix with local ar-
rivals in order to meet the varied
needs of their trade. Several loads
of cattle from Kansas City were re-
ceived in Detroit last week and kill-
ers report that the dressing percent-
ages of these cattle are much better
than from Michigan cattle costing
the same price on the hoof.

The steers and heifers that are
coming to Detroit from the west are
very plain in general appearance but
when their hides are off they show a
much better covering of flesh than
do the carcasses afforded by the
grass. cattle from our own state. Sev-
eral carloads of bulls have been re-
ceived in Detroit during the past
week that cost $1 per cwt. less than
Michigan bulls of the same grade.
Bulls and common butcher cows
must be bought very low in the coun-
try or thethlll lose money in the
Detroit market. The local market
has not been over—supplied with
prime fat cows of late and this kind
are holding their onw fairly well.
Milch cows are dull and quiet, only
the best grades of milkers ﬁnding a
prompt sale at prices that are satis-
factory to country shippers. De-
troit has a splendid trade in veal
calves all last week with a 19-dollar
top; current supplies of prime calv-
as are not nearly equal to the local
demand.

fDetroit’s trade in sheep and lambs
has been of very little importance for
some weeks past; prices have held
fairly steady for the most part with
best lambs selling for $16. A study
of western markets reveals a declin-
ingtendency in connection with all
grades of sheep and lambs. Western
range lambs are fully $1 per cwt.
lower than on the middle of the
current month and the edge seems
to be off the demand for feeding
stock. Wool continues in the rut of
dullness and inactivity which has
characterized ‘the trade all thru the
month of'July. The ﬁght between
the farmers' wool pools of the coun-
try and” the wool buyers, is on in
seed earnest, and it is hard to pre—
dict‘ just where and when it will end.

The decision at the Spa conference
which provides that the German coal
miners‘to be provisioned by England
and France, has had a marked effect
of} both the liVe_hog and the general
nominodity market. The immediate

trade for the mid—summer and early

weights are leading in demand but
good heavy hogs are selling better
than for a long time back. Pigs are
in much better demand than former-
ly ‘

   

On Monday, July 26, the Detroit
market opened with cattle and calv-
es selling steady with the close of the
week before. Sheep and lambs were
dull and the latter $1 lower than
the average of last week. Hogs were
active and about level with last
week’s average. No strictly prime
steers were on sale but had they
been offered, $13 per cwt. would have
been the price. Best bulls and cows
$7 to $8. Thin little cattle and com-

FARMER CANDIDATES FOR IM-
PORTANT PUBLIC OFFICES
(Continued from page 4)
the “Open Sunday Bill” to make
all amusements legal on Sunday as
on any other day; the Pari Mutual
gambling bill to legalize betting on
horse races (Sen. Scully took a. lead-
ing part in the defeat of this meas-

ure.)

Sen. Scully has always been found
ready to champion the needs of ag-
riculture in legislative halls, and his
entire public career will show that
he has been a consistent and ardent
defender of the farmers' rights. As
lieutenant governor of Michigan he
will have the power of appointing
the committees of the Senate» and
will preside over that body. It is a
position of honor and influence and
in an agricultural state should go to
a man of agricultural sympathies
and understanding.

John C. Ketcham

John C. Ketcham who is out after
the congressional toga in the Fourth
district, needs no introduction to the
readers of Tum BUSINESS FARMER. As
a mere matter of form, however, we
will say that Mr. Ketcham is master
of the Michigan State Orange and
has been active all his life in agri-
cultural affairs. His efforts to se-
cure better prices and greater recog-
nition for the bean and sugar beet
growers are too well known to our
readers to require descriptions No
agricultural issue of any importance
has not come up in recent years that
has not found John Ketcham vall-
antly championing the farmers’
cause. He is a keen thinker, a most-
er of logic, and has no mean repu-
tation as a platform orator. More-
over, and more important than all,
his heart is in his work, and when
that can be said of a man, his little
mistakes can easily be overlooked.

The Fourth district comprises the
counties of Allegan, Barry, Berrien,
Cass, St. Joseph and VanBuren coun-
ties, all larg‘ely agricultural, it is mete
and proper that the district should
have a representative in Congress
who knows the farmers and doesn't
have to be punched up by the folks
back home when legislation of in-
terest to farmers is pending. There
are ﬁve candidates for the job in
the Fourth 'district,‘ and John’s
chances look mighty good. There
can be no doubt of his success if
two-thirds of the farmers of the dis-‘
trict will stick together and give him
their votes. We know of lots of
farmers in Michigan who would con?
sider' it an honor to vote for Mr.
Ketcham and they will await the out-g
come of the contest in the Fourth
district with a great deal of interest.

(This is the second of a series of
articles on the farmers and farm
representatives who are candidates
this year for public ofﬁcers. A third

.Why Insure  a  If
Company? '

—-with insufficient surplus when you can insure in the largest

exclusive mutual automobile insurance company in the world

In the winter of 1914 a law was passed by the State Legislature which
provided for the organization of mutual automobile insurance com-
panies. The men who prepared this law organized the CITIZEN‘S' MU-
TUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE 00., of Howell, Mich., taking out
their license to do business August 27th, 1916.
rapidly. Within a few months a number of mutual companies were or-
ganized untilrnow there are nine competing companies in the state.
Oneof these smaller companies had assets of $887.80; another had as-
sets above liabilities of $88.14 ; a. third had assets in excess of liabil-
ities of $1273.55; while a fourth had a surplus of but $65.27 accord-
ing to their statements of January Int, 1920.

The careful automobile owner is anxious to insure with a company hav-
ing sufﬁcient surplus on hand to pay the big claims. During the month
of April, the CITIZEN‘S’ MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE CO -
PANY of Howell paid one liability claim of $2,975.00, one ﬂre'cla m
of $2,975.00, a personal injury claim of $1,7500.00. The Company has
.never had to borrow a dollar and has always had sufﬁcient surplus to
pay its claims promptly.

no record of ﬁrst order and they
must have become confused. In each
letter they told me to refer to order
No. 32018. When they replied they
asked me to be patient and soon all
would be straightened out. But the

could get nosatlsfaction. If you can

This matter was taken up with the
Bond Shoe Makers and we received
a letter from them in which they stat-
ed they had discovered their mis-
take and would make a satisfactory
adjustment. June 11th‘we received
the following letter from our sub-
scriber: *

“Enclosed you will ﬁnd letters sent
to me by Bond Shoe Makers. I have
received shoes referred'to therein. I
sent for dress shoes and they have
sent me worse than plow shoes. It
is an insult! At_the time I order-
ed them the price'for the shoes I
wanted was $4.65 and in the same
catalog there is a picture of what
they have sent me the price of which
is $3.96. From then until now the
shoes I ordered have advanced in
pric. to $6.85.”—W. A. W.‘, Ionic

We again wrote Bond Shoe Mak-
ers explaining to them their mistake.
They answered that they would get
in touch with .Mr. W. A. W. and ad-
vise him. July 3rd we received the
following letter from Mr. W. A. W.:

“As a result of your efforts in
“bringing the Bond Shoe Makers to

placed in their hands last Novem-
ber. I am indeed grateful to you
for your assistance in this matter as
I feel I never would have been able

people of the Spanish speaking states

olfasouth. America with the advant-'

ages ofipu-re-bred live stock and the
ability "their Nerth American
neighbors to supply them with the
best there is. “

For several years back cattle
breeders of South America have been
straying into the United States and
picking up so‘me‘of our choiCe pure—
breds. In-i'a'Ct, if we recall correct-
ly some Michigan pure-breds have
found their way into South America
during the past two years. As a
result of this interest the Bureau of
Markets sen-t two live stock commis-
sioners, Mr. David Harrell and Mr.
H. -P. Morgan to South America last
year to promote trade: in pure-bred
stock. Reports were published on
thep‘ure—bred live stock situation in
Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Ar-
gentine. Sale of pure-bred stock to
South America amounting to about

$400,000 have been made during‘the ‘

last six months, largely through con-
tracts established last year.

__“‘.'l_‘h'_e' ﬁeld is so promising,” says
thegBjureau of Markets, “that two
mere live stock commissioners, Mr.
L. B.‘ Burk and Mr. E. Z. Russell,
h'aveyirecently sailed for South Am-
erica to‘follow up the work of last
year,‘ make new contracts, and devel-
op the market for all breeds of pure-
bred' live stock. To carry on this
work, the Bureau of Markets is con-
sidering the establishment of a per-

:.Probably appreciating the fact that
excellent pure-bred live stock Could
be secured in the United States, were
at a loss as to how to proceed to lo-
cate the kind of individuals wanted in
the shortest length of time and with
the least expense. Also foreign buyr
ers, unacquainted with any person or
agency in whom, they could place
conﬁdence, felt so much the necessity
of observing caution that they did
not experience the satisfaction in
attempting purchases here that they
could have, had they been assured
that differences in custom and trade
practice were fully understood... ,
f‘The United States Department of
Agriculture desires to aid foreign
'buyers and to assure them that it is
organized to afford them all possible
protection by placing at their com-
mand its service and facil-ities.‘ This
Service is furnished upon
and without expense.
“Upon application to the Bureau
of Markets of the Department of Ag-
riculture, persons contemplating pur-
chases of live stock in the United
-States will be aided by its experts
in locating and forming proper con-
tacts with individual breeders or
breeders’ associations with whom
they may deal. Also expert advice
will be given by the Bureau of An-
imal Industry of the Department as
to ways of dealing with problems.re-
lating to the care and inspection of
livestock. As to the extent of the
Department’s facilities for. aiding
purchasers, outside of Washington
there are in various parts of the
United States approximately 17,000
representatives of the Department of
Agriculture in close touch with
farmers and breeders. These repre-

pulled forth a handful of gems. “I

“But you were with my daughter
When she died," Enrico interrupted
to sub. “Had she no word for me?"

“Yes,” Torres, sobbed back, gen-
uinely affected by the death-scene of
his fancy. “She .died with your

W8Te+n l J

But, with bulging eyes, he failed to
complete his sentence. for he was
watching Henry and Leoncia, in the
most natural, casual manner in the
world stroll down the room im-
mersed in quiet conversation. Not
noticing Torres, they crossed over
to the window still deep in talk.

“You were telling me her last
words were . . ?"" Enrico, prompt-
ed him. »

,/

“I . . . I have lied to you,” Tor-,

res stammered, while he spurred for
time in which to get himself out of
the scraps! “I was confident that
they 'Were as' good as dead and
would never find their way to the
world again. And I thought to soft-
en the blow to: you, Senor Solano, by
telling what I am conﬁdent would be
her last words :were she dying. Also,
this man Francis, ,whom you have
elected to like. I though it better
for, you to believe him dead than to
know him for the Gringocur he is."

, Here the bound barked joyfully at
the screen, giving the two Indians all
they could doto hold him back. But
Torres instead of suspecting,- blund-
ered on to his fate. “

“In the. Valley there is a silly, weak
demented creature who pretends to
read the future by magic. An al-

into the bosom of your family. the
slimy snake of a Gringo Francis who
has even dared to sully the fair Leon-
cia by casting upon her the looks of
a. lover. Oh, I know of what I speak
I have seen "

A joyous outburst from the hound
drowned his voice, and he beheld
Francis and the Queen- as deep in
conversation as the two who had
preceded them, walk down the room.
The Queen pauser to caress the
bound, who stood so tall against her
that his forepaws on her shoulders,
elevated his head above hers; while
Torres licked his suddenly dry lips
and vainly cudgeled his brains for
some fresh lie with which to extri-
cate himself from the impossible sit-
uation. '

~Enrico Solano was the ﬁrst to
break down in mirth. All his sons
joined him, while tears of sheerde-
light welled out of his eyes.

“I could have married her my-
self,” Torres sneered malignantly.
“She begged me on her knees.

“And now," said Francis, "‘I shall
saveyou all a dirty job by throwing.
him out.”  '

 

But Henry, advancing swiftly,_as—'

serted; _ V  
“I like dirty jobs equally. And

this is a dirty job particularly to my

liking." ‘ _
Both the Morgans were about to

fall on Torres, "when the Queen held,

up her hand.

“First,” she said, “let him return
to me. from there in his belt, the dag-
ger- he stole from _me." ’

“Ah,” said Enrico when this had
been accomplished. “Should he not
also return to you. lovely lady, the
gems he ﬂlched?" ,

The Dairy Division at
Washington Says:

“As the production of a cow is
doubled proﬁts increase three times.
As production is trebled proﬁts in-
crease six times.

“The average cow in the United

States yields 1823 quarts of milk
yielding 207 pounds of butter a year.
Average proﬁt per cow $20 over cost
of feed.”

The average production of all pure—
bred Holsteins that have been ofﬁcial—
ly tested for a year is 629 pounds of
butter from more than 7000 quarts
of milk.

In yielding more than three times
as much as the scrub cow, the pure—
bred Holstein yields six times the
proﬁts.

As production is tripled proﬁts in-
crease six times.

The Packing Business,

(b) Economically arranged manu-

(d) Ample capitalization.

accguing to producers and feeders of live stock

of The DetrOit Packing Company.

Chicago, having access not only to Michigan live stock,
We have all of these essentials as

Having ample ground space and exceptional railroad facilities, our plant will be so laid out and equipped as to eﬁect a '1er -

material saving in plant operations as compared to other Detroit packing plants, resulting in aisaving of pro’ductiOn costs of  j '
ably 25 per cent, which alone represents a large sum on such a volume of business as will pass through our plant, which featum 
puts us in a strong competitive position. ' 2 -«':-

On such livestock as received from our shareholders we will pay much stronger prices than now ruling in Detroit , ,_
Market, and on a short haul with all intermediate expense eliminated for the shipper, more remunerative prices and a. co 

saving in expense will accrue to all Michigan producers than is now possible for them. At such times and seasons that one”  ' 5‘

ments for livestock are not fully met by our own shareholders, and are not available in Detroit stockyards, we have full access}
side markets South and West of us on a parity with other Detroit plants, with adequate shipping facilities over trunk lines _‘_
such territory and in these outside markets we will be represented bygﬂmsehaving ﬁnancial holdings in this Company. 7  '
