immediately after.

The following statement on. the
subject of legislation has Just been
issued by the state farm bureau:

“A deﬁnite legislative program is
being drafted by the Michigan State
Farm Bureau. It does not contem-

: plate the :inclusion of any requests
or '

that may be branded as 'class’
‘radical.’ While the program deals
primarily with-agricultural matters,
it will contain, when announced,
nothing that basically will not be of
beneﬁt to the common weal.

“While part. of the farm bureau
program that will be presented to
the legislature is complete now, it is
deemed unwise to issue it' publicly
prior to the November election. It
is desired by this course to eliminate
the possibility of any candidates us-
ing it for personal propaganda. Pre-
clection promises have lost favor in
recent years. It is desired that there
he no opportunity for any one to use
the program of the farm bureau as
ammunition for pro-election prom-
toes.

"The farm bureau has asked its
great membership, which is repre-
sentative of approximately 225,000
votes, to use its own good judgment
at-~ the polls. It is believed that the

goingle expressions of individuals will
" result in better representation in the

state assemblies being secured than

if the individual votes were influx--
‘ enced to any extent by declarations
" from an overhead organization.

“Everyone of the county and com-

.Tmunity units of the farm bureau.
.' are in close touch with the state or-

ganization and articulation on var-
ious subjects by the individual mem-
bers of the organization is possible."

STATE TAKES STEPS To LOOK
AFTER RURAL HEAJII‘H

Steps are now being taken to-

ward the control of communicable

_ disease carriers and the consequent

cutting down of epidemics of pro-
ventable diseases will materially
raise Michigan's preventable disease
standing in comparison with other
states, according to Dr. R. I. Olin,
state health commissioner.

“Any carrier," reads the regula-
tion now being distributed to phy-
sician-s and health ofﬁcers through-

"out Michigan, "of a dangerous com-

municable disease that under the
rules and regulations of the Michi-
gan Department of Health is subject

“These carriers are not clinically
sick, but they would, if not discover-
ed, make other children sick, cost
the county hundreds of dollars to
care for an epidemic, and possibly
death and desolation to several
homes by the loose! loved ones," as-
serts Dr. William J. V. Deacon, di—
rector of the bureau of communi-
cable diseases. “If the work has
saved the life of only one child in
the state of Michigan it is well worth
the money cost and effort." '

FARMERS GET LESS FOR MILK

price of milk to the city consumer
shall not change for at least another
month. The price of milk to the pro—
ducer will be 80 cents per cwt., low-

rate of $4.10 per cwt. to 83.80. The

According to the Journal 0 Com-

vanced the least of forty-dve differ-
ent food articles. The highest per-
centage of increase from». 1914 to
1920 was 400, the lowest 13, with
an average for the 45 products of
112 per cent. Beans showed the
smallest increase, or 13 per cent, be-
ing listed at $6 in 191‘ and $6.76

HE COMMERCIAL“ baking indus-
try has advanced to. the rank of

‘ pecially airing the last twenty-ﬁve
years, (until It "now supplies fully 66'

distinct advance in the standard or
living ~~and an advance in the status
of the entire family. .

The price of the lost has donhled
since the Great War began. and it
seems worth while. to analyze some
aspects of possible reduction. If we
_. examine the component items in the
‘cost of the :1-2 cent compound lost
in New York, assuming average
wheat and flour, wewill ﬁnd it can
be divided approximately as follows:

 

. Baker: ill'lonr..~.cants .. .  . . .  {.30
Other ingredients . . . . . . . . '. 4.23
Labor, overhead and gcn'l . 4-10

"Retailers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.76

Total . .' . . . . . .' . . . . . . . . . 2.00

The 4.30 cents devoted to flour
could be further analyzed and , it
"would be found'that the Mississippi
Valley: farmer receives at the rail-
' way station for average of all wheat
e about 3.00 cents from the loaf (and
some further return from the animal
feed produce from his wheat). The
balance of the flour prices goes to

. handling,- storage; - inland .. transporter

tion, milling, wholesale distribution.
This should tend to dissipate any no—
, tion that the farmer is primarily re-
. sponsible for doubling the mice of
the lost. In fact, a reduction of 60
cents a bushel in wheat would affect
the loaf but (me cent. ’

'No Proﬁt in Wheat at Lower Prices
_ In addition to, any illusion with
regard to the size of the farmer’s re-
sponsibility in increased price, it is
desirable tovrevlew certain economic
reasons why any immediate reduc-
tion- in the farmer’s return is unde-
sirable, and why, ~in the long'yiew,
even in gradual downward ocenmﬁic
readjustment, the price of wheat
must remain, at far above prewar
levels. ‘

As to the immediate market pros-
pects, it would indeed be a courage-
" .ous mauwhio would make prophecies
as to the course of prices in the
' present abnormal condition in the
world's trade and the internal ﬁn-
ancial situation and overseas trans-
* portation. During the harvest year
ahead. the great exporting centers of
the woridi'will have-available “some
575 to 625‘ million bushels or wheat
for export. The import necessities
_of Europe, it the bread consumption
were restored to normal, would ex-
ceed this amount. Thirty per cent
of the population of Europe are still'
under bread ration. This thirty per
cent will increase or decrease with
a. change in ﬁnancial condition or so-
cial stability of Europe and the de-'
mand will fall or rise aocot‘dingly.’
In augment, there does not appear,
either any great Shortage or any
great surplus. W

price to the farmer. It is vital that
the buying'pcwer of Europe should
even in the interest of its own people
be used intelligently and to support
future American production. Where-
as Russia and the areas now compos-

ing the Balkan States furnished, un-I

der prewar conditions, the rest of
Europe from .209 to 250 millions of
bushels of wheat per annum, the
Western Hemisphere has had to as-
sume the burden of replacing this
lost production in order that Europe
may have bread. The production of
the Western Hemisphere has increas-
ed since prewar to an amount just
about equal to the deﬁciency in ex-
ports Irom eSoutheastern Europe.
This increase in production has been
obtained in very large degree by an
increase in price that stimulates the
cultivation of areas that would not
otherwise be proﬁtable for wheat
raising. There is no likelihood of

full recovery of Southeastern Eur-3

ope’s experts for some years to come.
If Europe takes advantage of any
temporary power to artiﬁcially re-
duce' our prices, it will commit sui—
cide: Such a course would certainly
result in a decrease of production
in the :Western Hemisphere. It Eur-

.cent per loaf for it.

ope is to have broad supply from us,
it will only be by the maintenance of
a high price level for wheat. Such
price levels may penalize us also a
cent per loaf, but without their
bread we should have chaos in Eur~
ope and we will pay more than a
so much for
the immediate crop.

For the long view, while prices of
all kinds will adjust themselves
downward with deflation, I am con-
vinced that wheat should not, or, in
the long run, cannot return to the
same ratio price to other commodi—
ties as that which it held prior to the
war. In other words, if something
like prewar prices should again pre-
vail, I do not believe ‘we will over
any considerable term see the old 90
cent wheat, or any thing like it. Dur-
ing the war the price 01' wheat was
successfully held at a higher ratio
than other commodities—an index of
about 243 for wheat against 186 for
other commodities in 1917—in order
to induce larger production. If we
take the 1913 year average price of
wholesale wheat and other commodi-
ties as 190,, at the present time these
prices are approximately 300. for
wheat and about 270 for other com-

are to, assure supplies let our 1.-
creasing population. That is,.if oth-
er copuhodities should return to I”,
wheat must hold 15$ or some other

considerable excess. . -

There are many reasons for this. ..

One of them is that the expansion of
the possible wheat area in themat-
ed States is now comparatively lim-
ited unless we trench on other es-
sential production. In fact, there is
even indeed serious shrinkage of
wheat area in prospect, due to the
unoonquered invasion of rust in our
spring wheat areas of the northwest.
This threatened deﬁciency must he
maintained by an inducement to ex-
pand hard wheat production in the
Southwest. Furthermore, our aver-
age yield of wheat per acre must
have a steady increase if we are to

meet the necessities of an advancing .
An increase from our ,'
average of less than 16 bushels tow- ‘-
ard the average of Western Euro- '

population.

pean production of over 25 bushels
per acre is in the main the possible
source of supply in the long run.
This can only be obtained by more
intensive cultivation and the larger
use of fertilizers, and these extra
costs do not show a proﬁt return at
present ratio prices. The American
“farmer naturally can only engage in
extra expense for extra return. It is
sometimes said that our breadstuif
needs will outgﬂw our capacity for
the production of Wheat. This is
not necessarily the cascwithin our
country, for it is always possible to
contemplate an increase per acre that
would keep pace with our increase
in population. But this cannot be
accomplished on the basis of the pre-
war ratio price of wheat
commodities.

The Extra Proﬁts
If we examine the 75 per cent of

the cost of the loaf which lies out- .

side the wheat farmer's portion, we
will ﬁnd it comprises about 7 cents
for. wages and salaries in transport,
handling grain, milling, baking and
retail distribution and subsidiary in-
gredients, and we will ﬁnd that this
item has doubled during the war. We
will also ﬁnd that legitimate proﬁts
on the capital employed in these ser-
vicm amount to about 1.50 cents;
that farmers, other than grain, re—
ceive about .20 cents tor lard, milk,
and other ingredients, and that there
is today about .35 cents of what may
be be for the moment
proﬁts.” ‘

There are components of the price
which can be reduced without
trenching either upon the farmer, the
wage earner or legitimate proﬁts.
The, .35 cents which i have called
“extra proﬁt” is appmximately the
increased" spread between the tarm—
er and the consumer above a normal
spread in stable markets. It is not
necessarily proﬁteering. In highly
fluctuating prices, such as we are
.now going through, there is both
tendency and reason for the hand;
ling and manufacturing trades. to se-
cure.themselves against great haz-
ards of fall in price by taking a larg-
er margin than is necessary inptimes
of more stable markets. Thislnextra

' The Oregon Growers' (Jo-operative
Association is a typical example- of
all ﬁxe. Of these fundamentals of
business applied to co-operative mar—

‘ keti‘ngaof: farm, products in the .Pa- ,_

ciﬁc northwest. With minor excep-
tions all the great associations of the
Paciﬁc northwest have adopted the
same general plan of organization.
The Oregon fruit growers were or-
iginally organized by localities in-
stead “of ‘commodities. Some-twelve
or fourteen local associations were
operating ’in the variOus fruit grow-

ing sections of Western Oregon.’None v

of them produced in sufﬁcient quan—
tities to guarantee anyilarge produc-
each. and
every one of them were in co‘mpeti—

to fundamentals, by the grain mar-
‘keting committee of the National
VFarm Bureau Federations -' -. '

Briefly, the plan, as applied by the '

Oregon Fruit Growers’ Association is
as follows: _ =  a. ' :

The Oregon Growers' ‘Coroperative
association was organized under'the
Oregon co-operative law, without
capital stock. '~Its membershlp'is lim-
ited to bona- this fruit growerm-Ever-y
member upon applying for member-
ship pays an entrance fee of_$10 and
signs an unbreakable contract agree-
ing to sell his fruit to the association
for a period of ﬁve years. The asso-
ciation guarantees to return to the
grower the full re-sale price of his
fruit, less only, the actual costof
handling. The association is purely
democratic in operation—every mem-
ber has .one vote and one vote only.
It will be notedithatt the association
becomes the owner ,of the fruit——-not
the agent. The reason for this will
be hereafter, seen. [It is the funda-
mental basis upon which all ﬁnanc-
ing by the association is done. _

The co—operative . association,
which is non proﬁt in operation, then
organized a subsidiary corporation
under the corporate laws of the state
of Oregon. - This association has a
capital stock of $1,000,000divided
into "$500,000 of common Stock and
$500,000 of preferred stock. Par
Value $10 a share. Every member
in the association buysone $10 share

. tired annually.

of stock for every acre of bearing or-‘
chard owned at the time of entry. .

For this stock however he does not
pay cash but gives two notes due, in
one and two years respectively and

at the same time'authorizes-‘the as-g

sociation Ito_deduct-=-from his pro-'

ceeds of the sale of his~ fruit an
amount sufficient to pay off each
year’s instalment on his stock. In

the ﬁrst six months 25,000 acres of,

bearing orchards were signed up. in

the association and of course $250,:

000 of common stock in the subsi-
diary corporation was purchased by
members for which $250,000 in notes

‘_notes were more. than thirty secured
~and asi'such were eagerly grabbed by

,ban‘kers who recognized the secur-
1it’y‘back of them. This gave the. as—
fsociation more than $200,000 with
which to buy warehouses and make
other permanent investments through
Common
stock holders in- the corporation vest
their voting rights in a trust deposi-
ted withrthe association for the full
term of the ﬁveyear contract thus
giving the association itself at .all
times control over-its subsidiary cor-
poration. - ' ‘ »
The preferred stock bears 7 per
cent cumulative interest and is divid-

ed into ﬁve classesdue to be amortiz-'

'ed~serially‘—‘$100,000 every year for
:ﬁve years—the period of the mar-
keting agreement between the asso-
ciation. and its members. The asso-
ciatidn made a contract between it-
self and its subsidiary'whereby the
corporation agreed to pack and pro-
cess the fruit belonging to the asso-
ciation at"cost. In return for this
the association guaranteed to pay the
-7 per cent interest on the preferred
stock every year. Thus at the end of
ﬁve years all the. preferred stock
would ,be retired and all'theremain-
.ing common stock -would' be (in the
hands of the growers through their
own association. 7 ' .

The associationnunder the terms
of its marketing agreement is “per-
mitted to deduct .from its members
proceeds this $100,000 on a pro rata
basis of amount‘of fruit delivered. It
is also authorized to deduct an
amount sufﬁcient to payth‘e 7 per
cent interest. All this in addition to
the cost of packing and processing
and the. cost of operating the associ-
ation. With $7,000,000 of fruit, of

-which the association has become'the ~ V

owner under the marketing agree-
ment, it will be readily seen that
the security behind the stock is 14
times the total amount ofﬂauthorized.
preferred stock issued and is actual—
Ily seventy times the maximum
amount of preferred stock to be re-
_ It happens that only
about $200,000 of this preferred
stockhas been sold (although the
association could easily sell it all)
to diver-s bankersin thejfruit growing
section. Thus there is only $40,000
to be retired annually. I The actual
sum which must" be deducted from
the $7,000,000 ,19201ruit crop sales
by the association to pay 'off the prin—
cipal. .and interest this yearfis $54,-

per. cent ofithe tum-sales... The total
operating expense of the association
excluding the above eight tenths of
one per centis estimated not be ex-
ceed 1 1-2 per cent this-year so that
the total expense of operation will
probably not exceed 2 1-2 per; cent
at the maximum. Every farmer
member is satisﬁed with this meth—
od of ﬁnancing his warehouse pur-
chaseunder .the plan in operation]

left the Bu-
reau of Chem-
istry, Dr. Als-
berg was se-
lected to take
his place as
its new chief.
Carl L. Als-
berg is best
described by a
trenc h a n t
Yankeeism ,-——-
“a good size-
abl e m a 11.”
He has a very
pleasing per-
sonality and a
very rank old
pipe. His eyes
are the quick,
inter es t e d
eyes of one
who loves his work and fellow men.
We have seen how the old style ‘»
Royal Taster depended upon his pal-
ate to protect his patron, but Carl
L. Alsberg doesn’t depend upon his
palate to detect the harmful'element
in an adulterated article, or, for that
matter, the good element in a good
food article—for he does that, too——
nor was he given a melancholy
choice between his ofﬁce and a man-
sized chopping block. The American
Public doesn’t do things that way.
First, the government prepared an
extensive and unbelievably delicate
instrument for measuring chemical
values, and then it hunted up the
man most capable of using this mag-
niﬁcient apparatus. That is how it
came\ about that a certain genial
gentleman named Alsberg sits be-
‘hind a broad desk in a Department

hopeful that they may develop a
small inexpensive gas plant which
the farmer can buy and set up on his

, “Crude oil

The elements of crude oil are - ' '
so completely blended that it is
as difﬁcult to separate them as
to separate the blended colors
of the rainbow. To get com-
plete separation through re-
peated distillations we make
countless tests. Only in this
way can the absolute purity of
oil products be insured.

,‘fThe  oi a MllliOIl Tests”
The secret “of successful scientiﬁc oil reﬁning is painstaking
care and unceh'sink vigilance. 'In making EN-AR-CO oils w‘e
« average over a million tests a year. It is only by this multiply-
ing 'of tests that perfect products can be made. This thorough-

I tor heating, cooking, lighting, power

Your lamps and lanterns will give a strong,
white, clear light without smoking if you use
National Light Oil. .

It is unequalled for incubators and brooders
where a steady, smokeless, odorless heat is re-
quired.

Used as fuel in your tractor it develops a
maximum of power at a minimum of fuel con—
sumption without carbonizing cylinders or
valv‘es.

Its freedom from impurities, its even quality,
its tested uniformity, make National Light Oil
the most satisfactory and economical burning
oil you can use. .13

If your dealer can not supply you with Na—
tional Light Oil—insist on getting it—write to
us direct for prices on barrel lots, or more. X It
costs less to buy by the barrel.

 

 

National Light Oil, like all other products of
the National Reﬁning Company, is distilled
from crude oil (petroleum) with that painstak-
ing - thoroughness and completeness which
marks all our scientiﬁc reﬁning.

 

Incomplete distillation means a light oil—a
kerosene—which smokes, carbonizes and gives
out unpleasant odors. National Light Oil, by
its many tested and counter-tested»distillations,
burns clear and bright, without smoke, with-
out carbonizing, without odor. It will not char
wick or burner, nor will it smoke up chimneys.

 

An. oil heater, burning National Light Oil,
will keep the Coldest room warm and comfort—
able‘in‘ rigorous weather. Its even burning heat

insures the best; cooking results in oil stoves
and'ranges.

a much hesuhier aspect ass
..of 'the liquidation of frozen
,. the conversioniuto cash
1 of large lines of merchandise, gmin

use. is rapidly approaching normal.

That the country is facing a pro-

. longed period of price reduction,

- along all lines, is universally conced-
ed, by everyone who has intimate
knowledge of current business con-
ditions. .Men, connected with the
selling and shipping departments of
all large manufacturing plants, are
frequently heard using the expres-
sion “cancelled orders," these days
and no one is bold enough to vent-
ure a prediction as to where it will
all end. That the men who make
the future production plans for the
big manufacturing enterprises 61 the
country are adopting a conservative
attitude, is becoming more and more
apparent as time goes 011.

Henry Ford‘s recent price revi-
sions and his confident announce-
ment that all commodities must,
hereafter, be sold on a pm basis
has been one of the principal topics
’ up for discussion, in ﬁnancial and in
dustrial circles, during the past iveek.
No one seems to understand Mr. F’s
. mental attitude or the real object
I to be accomplished by the mode of
' procedure that he, has adopted; he
has stated that he does not intend to
cut wages. Now, while it is recall-
ed that Mr. Ford was the ﬁrst man-
ufacturer in the country to make a
large increase.in wages, it is also a
fact that he did not follow up to the
limit of war-time wage levels. He
cannot. therefore. hope to reduce the
cost of his products by reducing
wages now or at any time in the near
future; in this connection only two
conclusions, concerning Mr. Ford‘s
intentions, can he arrived at. In the
ﬁrst place, he evidently believes that
the reduced volume of production,
which always follows a reduction in
the selling price of a manufactured
,commodity will eventually bring
down the cost of the basic material
used. in the manufacturing process.
In a word. Mr. Ford is playing for a
big drop in the cost- of structural
steel. -

There is another objective toward
which Mr. Ford. together with many
other manufacturers. is evidently
.moving: while he disclaims any in-
, tentiou of cutting wages, he does ex-
pect to be able to greatly decrease
ithe labor charge, in the factory cost
,of‘ his cars, by speeding up daily pro-
duction records. That Mr. Ford is
sound in the methods of reasoning by
which he hascome toths last two

  condusions cannot be successfully

- Radical downward revisions feat-
ured the market for wheat early last
week; several large lines of long
holdings were dumped on the market
and the decline was greatly acceller-
ated by hedging in the pit against in-

creasing arrivals from the northwest-

Canadian wheat is moving freely and
the fact that Great Britain is not
buying it, is a drag upon our market
for the time being. Wheat, from the
Dominion, is being taken both for
domestic milling purposes and for
foreign account. Exporters have
been active all the week but on the
break, last week, all bull arguments
seemed to lose their force; the de-
ferred options sympathized with a
declining market in corn and oats
and chaos reigned. The opening on
Monday, of -the current week, Wis
quite dinerent and wheat prices re—
covered mucb of the recent loss and
took on an air of comparative ﬂrm-
ness. Receipts have been small at
Chicago of. late and. all advices from
the country indicate that the farmer
is preparing to hold his crop.

The most important event in con-

nection with the corn. market of the
past week lathe decline below $1
per bushel of the deferred options. It
has been many years since shelled
corn sold below $1 and there 'are
many who believe that it will hardly
do so this year. Corn had a sharp
rally on Monday of the current week,
shorts running for cover and the
market showing the ﬁrst real
strength that has developed since the
slide began. Statistically, the situa-
tion is decidedly weak: the growing
cr'op is saidto be very nearly out of
danger from frost and there is very
little of encouragement in connec-
tion with immediate or deferred de-
mand for this cereal. The corn pro-
ducts companies are said to be run-
ning on short time schedules and
the present prospect for a heavy de-
mand for feeding purposes, seems to
be extremely remote. Chicago re-
ceived 2,206 cars of corn last week
against 1,278 the week before and
851 for the same week, last year.

BYE, BULL AND FEATURELESS

The rye market has been following
the lead of wheat for several days
past and there are as yet no signs of
early independent action on the part
of this grain. No. 2 rye is selling for
$1.78. On this date, last year No.
2 rye brought $1.41. ‘ /

The east is reported to be in the
midst of the worst slump in pota—
to prices that has ever been known.
New York reports Maine potatoes
selling for $2 per cwt. or just about
the amOunt of the freight and other
marketing expenses; this is certain-
ly bad news for the Maine potato
growers in view of the fact that the
crop is yielding only a little more
than‘one-half a much per acre as was
expected early in the season. Very
few Maine farmers are selling their
potatoes at this time but are ﬁlling
every inch of storage room available
with the intention of holding until
the market improves. New York re-
ports potatoes coming from Pennsyl- ‘
vania that only bring $1.65 to $1.75
per cwt.; this year's crop of early
Pennsylvania potatoes are said to
look well but are found to be hollow
at the heart. »

Chicago reported the cal-lot pots-
to market lower, last week, with ins
creasing arrivals of stock of only
fair quality. The Bureau of Mar-
kets reported the arrival of 8,911
cars of potatoes in Chicago during. 
the week ending Sept. 18; this was
750 cars more than the preceding
week but 1,436 cars less than for the
corresponding week, last year. The
car situation, in connection with the
shipping of potatoes, is giving con-

iderable concern, Just now, as many .;

shippers cannot get the cars they
need. What shippers will do s lit-
tle later, when only refrigerators can
be used. is problematical. '
_ The Detroit potato market has
been dull and lifeless of late, prices

_ With the single exception of high-4

stock markets .of the. country are dull
and practically featureless. strictly

close by themselves and Chicago is
Just about the only market. in the

tion can be had; the top, for the best
kind, late last week in the Windy

who decidedly active. Medium grades
of steers and branded‘cattle felt the
decline meet during the last six days,
the less in value on the Chicago mar-
ket. ‘for the former, equaling $1.50
r cwt. in many cases; coarse
randed steers have declined fully
88 per cwt. since the beginning of
last week. Arrivals of range cattle
in the Chicago market, last week,
were the largest of the season so far;
for the ﬁrst four days more than
“.000 range cattle came to hand,
nearly all of them of the medium in-
faster grade. The native cattle that
.have come to hand at western points
during the past week have been large-
ly on the medium and common or-
der, making little less than a glut
of this. particular. grade of cattle. '
Butchers cattle had a hard time
of- it in Chicago last week. Prices
ranging unevenly from 81 to $1.50

especially disheartening to the‘sell-
ing side rot-the market: casting about
for an explanation of this last break
in lamb values the information
comes to hand that another cargo of
frozen lambs, from New Zealand,
came to hand in NewYork the oth-
er day while it universally conceded
that the majority'of American eaters
of mutton and, lamb, will not _buy
frozen lamb if they know what'it is,
the presence of the stuff in our mar—
ket acts as a wet blanket on the
trade and values declin-evof‘ their own
weight. Durin gnearly all, of last
week, feeding lambs outsold the
fleshler kind, but on Monday of the
"current week, Chicago reported an
extremely dull trade in this branch
of the market and somewhat lower

. prices. \

Live Hogs and Provisions

After the bad break in live he);
and commodity values, early last
week, the market righted to again
and headed upward but not with
quite the activity in movement that
characterized the trade of the .week
before, when both Detroit and Chi-
cago paid $18.25 per cwt. for top
hogs. Barring the strike period, last

' April, last week’s Chicago hog re-

per cwt. lower and an extremely dull ‘

trade __at the decline. Conditions in
the butcher division, during recent
market sessions at all points, have
dilated from those that have ruled

previously in that department.
The break in the values has
included the 'choicer grades of

butchers cattle which heretofore have
just about‘held steady with the Same
firmness which has-characterized the
trade in choice steers: recently, how-
ever, the choioe grades of , butchers
cattle have declined just as much as
the commoner kinds. Bologna bulls,

have held their own fairly well and '

canners have held their own since
the break, early last week, of 50
cents per cwt. in this, department.
The better grades of feeding cattle
have held just about steady. this
week but the common to good kinds

are shanply lower; some little stacker ,

.“kinds have lost more than $1 per
c‘wt. in the last seven days. Many
high—grade feeding cattle have

‘ changed hands 11 Chicago of late, at
prices ranging from $12 to $13.50
per cwt.; some very plain but use-
ful stock cattle brought from $6.50

. to $7.50 per cwt. ‘ The writer of this

"article is of the opinion that the
present is a very opportune time for
feeders, who desire cattle for this
winter, to “get busy.” A

‘ The Sheep and Lamb Trade

The past week has developed many
jdisoouraing things for the selling
side of the sheep and lamb market
to think of and on the close, last
Saturday, in Chicago, mature sheep
had“  a new low4prioe record

' for the season. The average quality

_ of the oﬂerings wasniuch below-that
of any preceding week this year,

many thin, canner kinds coming to
_ ,1'.hanfd  suggested a general clean—‘
. , ~ .jp on many'farms, with“ the deliber-

magi; ,V  Week's aver-

ceipts were the smallest in more than
a year and 27,400 below the average
for the corresponding week ii the
last nine years. The average weight
of the bugs that come to Chicago
last week, at 242 pounds, was nine.
pounds lighter than that of the week
before and 16 pounds lighter than for
the corresponding week last year.

Trade In Detroit Stock Yards

‘ The Detroit live stock market never
had a meaner nor more unsatisfact-
ory trade in all departments than it
has had during the past week and
both shippers and commission sales-
men are completely discouraged with
the deal. The average quality of the
cattle‘that have been coming to De-
troit, of late, has been very low and
the buyers for this kind of cattle,
have been conspicuous by their ab-
sence ;the writer cannot remember
a market session with so few huy‘ers
present as that which was held in the
Detroit stock yard, last Monday. The
big local outfits ﬂew out of the
market entirely‘ and the interven—
tion of several Jewish holidays kept
the Hebrewout of the equation;

there were nearly 1,500 head of com- ,

mon cattle on-oi‘fer, a fair represen-
tation of shippers and commission

~saiesmen. but, practically, no buyers

to hold up the other end of the game.
As an indication! of how dull the
trade really is, the writer saw a fair-
ly good load of 17 Shorthorn steers,
averaging 1,080 pounds, sell for»
80.0019“ cwt.; there hasbeen no
time this year, prior to last week,
when these cattle would not have
brought $11 per cwt. .
V The Detroit veal calf trade has
been dull and steady during the past
week. The supply of lambs has been
very; common of late and tradg has
dragged along with a top 'of $13.50.
In comparison with other markets,
hogs have been the Jonah of the De-
troit live stock deal since they jump-

ed up to $18.25 on Monday, Septem-

.ber 20.

The Price Trend
AST \VEEK I wrote an editorial about

 

 

 

lower prices. Two days later Henry Ford,

announced a twenty per cent reduction in the
prices of Ford automobiles and tractors. Then
things began to happen right away.

For a long time manufacturers have been on
the anxious scat. Much as they dislike to ad-
mit it there has been a gradual slowing up in
buying. Things had to come to a head. And
they have. The week just closed has witnessed
probably the most unsettled conditions in in-
dustrial circles since the panic of 1907. Scores

of big factories have either closed their doors‘

completely; reduced their working forces or
also announced a part-time program. In De‘
troit it is said that one-fourth to onecﬁfth of
the industrial workers are out of a job. Sev-
eral large automobile manufacturers are re-
ported to be facing ruin. Factories that form-
'erly turned out a hundred or more cars a day
have reduced their output to ten or ﬁfteen cars
or quit altogether. There are several notable
exceptions to this rule, however. Auto acces-
sory plants have, of course, suffered in turn.
Nor is the depression conﬁned to the automo-
bile trade. ‘

Ford ’s announcement that prices must come
down, accompanied by a slash in Ford prices
has had a psychological effect upon both buy-
or and seller. The buyer has said to himself,
“If prices must come down I will defer my
purchases until they drop.” The seller has
said, “If prices must come down I would bet-
ter sell now before they drop.” With every-
body selling and nobody buying stagnation in-
evitably follows.

I! I i .

There may be a psychological but certainly
no natural reason why food prices should be
affected by industrial depression. People can
subsist without automobiles. They may even
patch up their old clothes and re-sole their old
shoes. But they cannot long defer or curtail
their purchases of food. If statistics mean any-
thing at all, there is no surplus of food. Tem-
porarily people may refuse to purchase food
yroducts in quantities or lay in their Winter
supply, but during the course of a year ,no
matter whether times be good or bad, they must
purchase in the aggregate close to their normal
food requirements. Of course, if the farmers,
middlemen and food speculators overlook the
fundamental factors in the world’s food~situ-
ation and permit themselves to be inﬂuenced
by the psychology of the present industrial‘sit-j

' and fOrce their products on the market at any'

ditions do not last too long. Sooner 0r later,
probably within two or three months, possibly
four or ﬁve, but no longer, the grain price trend

' Will break away from the general price trend

and advance. This advance will undoubtedly
precede any changofor the better. in the. gen-
aral situation. . V . _V . _

 

Mr. Groesbeck and the Farmers

PEAKING to a_ group of farm leaders,
Alex Groesbeck, Republican nominee for
Governor, said, “I have never felt that the
farmers have received the recognition to which
they are entitled in state affairs.” The occa-
sion was a conference called at Lansing at the
behest of Mr. Grocsbeck to ascertain the legis-
lative needs and desires of Michigan farmers.
Mr. Groesbeck proved himself a good listen-
cr. He sat in silence while each of the farm
leaders expressed his views on marketing prob-
lems, proﬁteering, roads, taxes, state expendi-
tures, transportation, water power, etc., He
smiled good-naturedly when told by his erst-
while political opponents that they had no re-
grets for trying to nominate another man, but
had no sore spots because of their defeat, and
were ready to co-operate with him if elected
in any program which was to the welfare of
the commonwealth. -
Mr. Grocsbeck agreed that the road from
producer to consumer was too long. He
thought it might be shortened. Anyway, he
was willing to tackle the problem. He was not
sure that taxes could be materially reduced.
He pointed out that the cost of government
like everything else had doubled the past few
years. It was suggested, however, that the de-
velopment of property and the increasé of val-
uation in the cities should-yield a large part of
the additional revenues required to run the
state. To this Mr. Groesbeck partially agreed.
He said, “I do not think that the cities should
be shown any favoritism in the matter of taxes.
My home is in Detroit, but speaking as a can-
didate for Governor, my only interest in De-
trol’t and Wayne county is that the peOple are
treated fairly, the same as in other parts of
the state. I am not sure but that there are
corporations in Michigan that are not‘paying
their full share of state expenses, and I think
they should be required to do so.” V
' Admitting that the conference was not with-
out political value to Mr. Groesbeck, the farm
representatives were nevertheless pleased that
he, should have taken them into his conﬁdence,
and expressed himself so clearly on matters of

interest _ to farmers.‘ His promise to confer -

with them frequently if elected Governor and
to solicit their views on legislation showed a
spirit of fairness' and co-operation which
augurs well for Michigan agriculture. 'The
Business Farmer expresses itself as ’satisﬁed
with Mr. Grocsbeck’s attitude toward the
farmers. '

Fruit Losses and Transportation

AS. NICOL, member of the executive com-

mittee of the State Farm Bureau, and well
known fruit grower, estimates that the fruit
men of Michigan have lost over one hundred
thousand dollars because of the failure of the
railroad companies to supply cars in the quanr
tities needed. At the same time Mr. Nicol
is not ready to ﬁllace the blame upon the Mich-
igan roads. They made every effort, he says,
to supply the necessary cars but Were simply
unable to get them. According to Mr. Nicol

thirty-ﬁve per cent'of the available refrigerat-

or cars have been sent to California this fall,
leaying‘ Michigan; almost destitute. of cars.

the prices, the grower is, utterly helpless to,
receive the beneﬁts .of this trio of conditions,
if the railroad-companies‘ fail to supply him‘
with cars. Moot growers have the upper hand
of their production problems. The matter of
grading, aspacking audimarkcting is receiving
thc attention of their organizations- The weak '-
, link in the chain is transportation. The farm;-
er may-"own his farm. He may have his own
organizations and through them, own his pack»-
 houses. But manifestly he cannot as an
individual :or as an organized body own. the
railroad which ‘ is. necessary to carry his
fruit to the consumer. There is'only one way
in which he might own the railroad and that
is through the government,—-his government,
if you please. If his government owned the
railroads, there would be no discrimination
between California and Michigan. Cars that
belonged to Michigan would never go to Cal-
ifornia and cars that California ought to have
she would get, but no more. The same impar-
tiality and servrcé that are part and parcel of
the postal system, which makes it in many
respects despite the criticism of the kickers,
the most remarkable organization in the world,
should rule the railroads and would rule them
if Uncle Sam held the throttle.

When congress was grappling with the rail-
road question last winter, a good many delud-
ed farm leaders prompted by motives which
may or may not have been altogether sincere,
assured Congress. that the farmers wanted the
roads restored to private. 68ml. Congress.
acted upon their advice. The roads went back
and we have been paying the penalty ever
since. Possibly the farmers over in Western
Michigan didn’t give much thought to the
railroad question. Folks don’t usually both-
er about “such things” until their pocket-
book is hit. But the car shortage. has hit the
fruit men an awful wallop this year If it
hasn’t altogether knocked the wind out of
them it may at least have jarred their thinking
apparatus, and caused them to look upon the
transportation problem in a somewhat diﬁcu
cnt light than in the past. If it has done that
much the hundred thousand has been well .
lost.

Machine Rule hi Michigan

HE REPUBLICAN state convention
held last week in Saginaw is an eloquent
example of the machine rule to which the ene-
mies of the? primary would have us return. The
convention was dominated by a single person-
ality, Albert E. Sleeper, Governor who suc-
cccded in having all but one of his candidates
nominated. Barring a miracle Michigan’s next
state treasurer and secretary will be typically
Sleeper men, having the Sleeper viewpoint and

politically indebted to Mr. Sleeper.
Among the people Mr. Sleeper is today with- ’
out standing. In a popular election he would

 

7 ﬁnd himself decidedly unpOpular. But within

the political ring of his own welding he is still
a powerful ﬁgure to be reckoned With. His’
control of the state convention shows how easy
it. is for conventions to misrepresent the will
of the people. -

 

Eﬁorts to repeal the tax exemption of farm
loan bonds are efforts to destroy the entire
system. It is necessary to exempt these low—
interest bearing bonds in order that they may
compete in“ the Qpcn market with the billions ~
of tax-free municipal and stptc bonds. No
bonds should be'free from taxation, but as
long as many are, why not farm loan bonds, as -
Until all bonds are required. to pay
taxes the farmer should resist every effort to

m  .‘KOME‘N DID nor VOTE

"  N EDITORIAL in Tm: Busmuss
Familiar Sept. 18th voices

_ disappointment over the small
number of women voting in the Au-
gust primary. This.» slight .vote,
magmater of regret, is'not es-
pecially surprising tothose who have
come into .close contact with this
newly enfranchised group. The ex-
planation that attributes it to timid:
ity is right as far asit goes. It was
a'favorite argument of some anti-

sulragists that depicted women clam- '

oring for oilice and flocking to the
polls to outvote the men, but people
who really understood the innate
modesty of women did not fear being
overwhelmed by the “female of the
species."

From my contact with women in
various parts of Michigan and other
statesI have come to feel that timid-
ity is not the only reason that kept
them from casting their vote at the
primaries; that they are courageous
enough when aroused and intelligent
is well attested by their battles for
equal suffrage -and for legislation
vital to their interests. But women
feel their ignorance concerning po-
litical issues and candidates, and they
are not willing to vote blindly.
Countless inquiries as to the fitness
of candidates for the oﬂices came
pouring in upon leaders in every lo-
cality. One of the greatest needs
felt by the new woman voter, is a
means of reliable and unbiased in-
formation concerning men and is-
sues. Certain civic organizations,
such as exist in Chicago, Grand Rap-
ids, and Wayne County, are furnish-
ing just such data as will meet the
.neeessitles of the localities. This
work should be extended and some
way must be found to get similar in-
formation for the state and nation.
Women's clubs in the towns and cit-

. ice are beginning to rouse themselv-
es to educate their members political-
ly. No year’s program is complete
now without one or more meetings
given up to a consideration of polit-
ical issues. Farm organizations are
behind their city prototypes in this
respect. Let us have an extension
of open minded and rational discus-
sion of the pros and cons of all im-
portant political questions and lead-
ers, local, state and national. Farm
men and women will both proﬁt by
the resulting creation of a larger
common interest; and an intelligent
and interested electorate cannot be
kept away from the polls. Note the
women’s vote in the April election of
1919 when the. liquor question was
up.

Sporadic instances show what is
already being done. In. Calhoun
county the men were astonished 'to
ﬁnd that the woman candidate for
congress received a decisive major-
ity. “How did you do it?” they ask-
ed. “Oh, we knew whom we wanted
and we organized to get her," was,
the reply. If the women in the oth-
er counties of the district had been
as wide-awake to their opportuni-

ties and as well led, there Would
have been a woman nominee for
Congress in that district. In Oceana

county, under intelligent and deter-
mined leadership, the candidacy of
‘ a new and porperiy qualified man was
successfully pushed for the ofﬁce of
Probate Judge. ,“Did the women
turn out on election day?" I inquir-
ed of the leader. “lucked they did,"
‘was the \quick answer. .“They
swarmed to the p0,Ils to nominate the
candidate of their choice.” It is my
conﬁdent belief that such work will
be done increasingly as the new vot-
ers realize their power and the possi-
bilities of its use towards ends in,
which they are vitally interested.
There is perhapsanother reason
for the light vote of the women in
August; and that is the necessity of
their afﬁliation with some one of

'r the parties in the primer:r election.,

I have heard many complaints of the
 ‘lawLMm- womenon "Just that

voting for the candidate .we belive
in than for the party," they said over
and over again. The widely adver-
tised slogan, “Women, get into the
parties," has found many women all
over the country cold and unrespon-
sive. There-are thousands whom the
old parties do not satisfy: the time
is ripe for a new, moderately pro-
gressive. liberal party. The women
are feeling around for it more or less
' blindly but eagerly. From Montana
reports of their‘primary show that
the women, especially the'farm wo-
men, voted heavily for the non-part—
isan candidates. It-is possible that
if Michigan had presented such an
opportunity there might have been
a larger vote from the women.
' Unless I'am much mistaken we
will be with you in large numbersat
the November polls. And We will

EARLIER CANDIDATE FOR CONG-

RESS IN FORDNEY DISTRICT

- LL YOU allow me a little space
‘ in our paper? The farmers in
' the 8th congressional district
have a farmer candidate for Cong-
ress. I would be pleased if you
would state this in the M. B. F. as
there are some farmers who do not
know that Austin M. Brown, of Ves-
taburg, Montcalm county, is a candi-
date on the Democratic ticket. Mr.
Brown is a farmer, living upon the
farm and earning his bread and but-
ter from the farm. He believes in
a tariff protection that will equalize
the cost of production in this coun-
try with the cost of production in
the foreign countries, and such leg-.
islation as will give to the producer
of wealth a fair share of the the
wealth he produces. -

Mr. Brown is making a campaign
to win and would like to have the
assistance of the M. B. F. and also
the readers oftheipaper in helping
him to win the ﬂ'gh'tﬁl. S. B., St.
Louis, Mich. ‘ ‘ '

I admire Mr. Brown's nerve, but I’m

afraid he is waging a losing fight. It’s
hard for any man who is not schooled

LIB. HAMILTON 0N CATHOLIC
LOYALTY

N YOUR issue of the 11th, there
 appears a letter from Aleck

Abeare, Auburn, Mich., particu-
larly condemning the writer, for his
views on the proposed school amend-
ment.

It matters little whether I am, or
was in jail, or the most esteemed
citizen in the state. My standing
could not affect this principle one
iota. We know that such methods
of argumentation as he takes, ‘ are
often used by‘lawyers and advocates
who have nothing with which to de-
fend the merits of their case.

Mr. Abeare speaks of the supreme
' loyalty of certain districts of Roman
Catholics encouraged by their priests.

If the principles for which we
fought were. true here, they were
true in all the allied countries. We
wish you would refer us to one place
in Quebec, Ireland or Australia
where similar actions were taken by
the priests. It is a notorious fact
that on Sunday, the priests would
publicly instruct their parish to en—
list,‘but on Monday. the parish would
receive something to prevent them
from so doing. This accounts for a
total volume of Catholic volunteers
from‘ the Province of Quebec
less than 3,000 out of a
population of over 200,000.

Mr. Abeare asks the readers to
disbelieve the Syllabus of Pope Pius
IX which says that the church has
the right to interfere with the pub-
lic schools, but a recent issue of
The Michigan Catholic reaffirms that
they have the right, in an article
answering the same letter in THE
MICHIGAN BUSSINESB FABMER, which
Mr. Abeare takes exception to.

Mr. Abeare also says the parochial
schools have the right of giving re-
ligious instructions. The amendment
in no way will interfere with the
parochial schools giving religious in-
structions after or before public
school hours, or during that half of
the year when the public school is
not in session. We believe that eVen
when a child attends a public school,
theer is still sufﬁcient time left for
the purpose of giving the religious
instruction of any creed—James
Hamilton, Detroit. ’ t

raisins were received in New York

, HE National Reform Association
_ recently gave out the following
L“1"information concerning the sugar
situation. This will be a piece 0!
news that will open the eyes of many
of our readers.

“ ‘Sugar took a jump from 16
cents, the ﬁgure Friday, to 28 cents
Saturday.’

“That is a statement made in the
Mormon church official paper, the
Deseret News. It is a terse descrip-
tion of modern brigandage.

“More than any other one individ-
ual, Heber J. Grant, president of the
Mormon church, ‘prophet, seer and
revelator,’ can determine what price
the people of this country shall pay
for the sugar which they use.

"Now be it known, Heber J. Gramt
prophet, seer and revelator of Mor——-
monism, is president of the Utah-Ida-
ho Sugar Company, which is the big
bull elephant of the sugar herd. And
he holds that presidency solely be-
cause he is that prophet. The two
offices — polygamous prophetship,
and sugar presidency —— have run to-
gether as a one man dual office for
twenty years. The second elephant
in the herd is the Amalgamated Sugar
Company; and the president of the
Amalgamated is Anthon H. Land,
first couselor to the prophet, seer
and revelator of the Mormon church.
And Lund holds his sugar office be-
cause of his church office.

“It is under the manipulation of
this Mormon sugar combine that su-
gar ‘took a jump from 16 cents a
pound one night to 28 cents a pound
the next morning.

“Mark you, during those twelve
dark hours, there was no increase in
cost of production nor in cost of disg
tribution.

“The sugar was in sack or barrel
in warehouses. Friday night 200,000I
000 pounds were priced at $32,000,000.
Saturday morning the same 200,000I
000 pounds were priced at $56,000,-
000. An increase to the sugar mag-
nates of $24,000,000 in one night.

“But this increase is only ‘smali
change for the sugar gougers. Be-
fore its imposition they had already
taken practical possession of the
household pocketbook. On the 19th
of May, 1920, W. J. Lauck, consulting
economist of the railroad brotherhood
stated that at Washington that sugar
should sell at 11 1—2. cents a pound.
All beyond this was robbery. Mr.
Lauck gave out some figures which
indicate to some extent how the Am-
erican people are being mulcted. The
income tax returns for 1917 showed
that beet sugar producers earned
52.28 per cent of their capital stock.
Much of this capital stock was water-
ed; and sugar averaged to sell at
the factory for probably less than 8
cents a pound. . What the proﬁt will
be for 1919 and 1920, with sugar
selling at 28 cents, no one can now
tell; but taking the ﬁgures for 1917
as a basis, we may be assured that
the sugar barons will take some
hundreds of millions of unjust prof-
its from the American people dur-
ing these two years. * "—Frec Meth-
odist.

COMMUNITY HALLOWEEN
PARTY,
VERY community should have
E a Hallowe’en party, It is tne
one season of the year when
-\ old, and ; young ‘ can 'have‘ an enjoy- I

able.‘time. . An ideal place for the .-

=party is a new barn, the stalls on
the lower floor serving as booths for
the various stunts while the loft is
large enough for all to get togeth-
,er. .If aybarn is—- not. available,
choose a home where there is-a large
attic; if ,_ the weather-,~.is‘ good, a
lawn will give Opportunity to -move
aboutfreely while albig bonﬁre will
addlto the beauty of the scene. '

To make this a truly community
gathering to which every one is' sure
to be invited, station some of the
children at the post ofﬁce a week or
ten days" ahead of’the time for the
party and let them give invitations
to those who come for their- mail;
The invitations should be made of
yellow paper cut in pumpkin shape
and the invitation should read:

In winding sheet and masks

white,

To form a fair disguise,

Come to the party Hallowe’en

Before the moon shall rise.-
The Benson Farm Eight o’clock

Bring your family and neighbors

Guests should ‘arrive in ghost cos-
tume—the sheet and the mask. Let
them entertain themselves trying to
ﬁnd out who is who. When the
crowd has arrived, have the ghosts
to come forward one at a time so that
the others may guess who each ghost
is. As soon as the ghost is properly
guessed he removes the disguise;

As the crowd will be large, it is
well to divide into groups, having
some one to supervise the fun of
each group.

For refreshments, gingerbread,
popcorn balls,‘apples and stick candy
with sweet cider or buttermilk would
be in keeping with the season.

For decorations, pumpkins lant—
ernshidden all over the place among
corn stalks and autumn leaves give
the Hallowe’emeffect. A skeleton
borrowed from the doctor would en-
hance the spookiness and a few
skulls, if available, are a great help.
Many of the dress makers will lend
their dress forms, shroud‘these in
sheets and masks.- :«_*C-ut black cats,
bats and witches from black paper
and pin on the walls.

- Some Stunts

1. As learning the secrets of the
future is an all-important feature of
the season, give each unmarried man
a ticket, which says: “This ticket en:-
titles youand the young lady of
your choice to a free photograph.
Presentthis ticket at the Photograph
Gallery.” One stall inthe barn or
room in thehouse should be ﬁtted up
as the gallery. If twenty tickets are
given out, forty photographs must
be ﬁxed (twenty for the men and
twenty for the women.) For
photographs cut cards into the size
of a cabinet photograph andoneach
card paste a picture showing the
future of the person whose picture is
to be taken. The picture may be
(if a successful farmer, a farmer’s
wife. a professional man or woman,
or whatever is preferred. Suitable
pictures can be found in magazines.
Have a “photographer” in charge of
the gallery and when two people en-
ter to have their pictures taken, he
may say “ladies ﬁrst” and have the'
girl pose. The photographer. then.-
takes a card from the girl’s pile of
photographs (all are turned face
down) and remarks “This is a wand-
erful ‘plate’ it will photograph you
as you will 'be in the years .to come.”
He raises the cloth .over the camera;

what like this one: “Oncethere was
a man who drove his car too fast. He

just loved to frighten‘mules and cows ‘

and horses. One day he tooted the

same sheet that . the” grown people
used for their fortunes may be used
by the children for pinning on the

this is a cow’s horn.". Let the story

teller pause and pass, to the person“
beside him a cow’s

horn asking,
“Doesn’t it feel like a cow’s horn?”
He waits until the horn has gone the
rounds, then he continues; “One
hand was practically uninjured. I’ll
pass it around and let you feel 'it.”
He passes~ a glove stuffed with'bra'n,
it is cold and clammy having been

Wash cucumbers, pack into a wa-

Holders of yellow or pitch pine should
not be used as they give an unpleas-
ant flavor."

On bottom of keg place a layer of
dill weed and a small quantity of
mixed spice‘s. Another layer of dill
weed and spices should be made
when the container is half full of cu-
cumbers, another near the top when
the container is poorly ﬁlled.

EAR CHILDRDEENt‘wLet’s see,
where ‘did we leave or last
week? Oh, yes; I was; telling

you about the horses that were at. the
fair. ’ . ‘ -

Well, from the Horse Barns we
went ‘to the Poultry Building. On the
ﬁrst ﬂoor we saw hundreds Jot chick-
ens, and what a noise they‘- made. The
roosters were crowing so hard and the
hens cackling so you could hardly
hear yourself think. ‘ Then we went
upstairs, and right at the top of the
stain were a lot “of the prettiest can-
aries, and they were all hopping about
in their small cages and singing so

that it seemed tome they would burst '

their little ‘throats. Upstairs. there
were a great many rabbitsyboth'large
and small, and. all colors. And there
were quite a few guinea pigs, too.
Have all of you seen some of these
little fellows? I suppose you have.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that we saw
some guinea hens, and some turkeys
and geese down stairs.

After we had seen all of the things
in the Poultry Building we went out
a side door and there, right in front
of us, was a. park and in this park we
saw many different kinds of wild an-
imals. From there we went to the
building where the automobiles were
displayed, and we saw nearly every
kind of automobile that is manufac-
tured in the United States, as well as
many dilierent makes of trucks:

The next place we visited was Ford’s
Model Farm, and what a term it was!
There were tractors for every pur-
pose; for plowing, planting, drilling,
harvesting. They had a grain separ-
ator that they connected to a tractor
with a belt and they threshed some
wheat, then the wheat was put in
a small flour—mill, which was driven
by a; tractor, and it was ground into
flour. . Another tractor was used to
run a dynamo which made electricity
to light the lrouse and run the wash-
ing machine, diSh washer, electric
stove and many other things. The
flour was mixed into dough and put
into a pan and then into the oven
of the stove and baked into bread.
After watching them do this we
went tothe Dairy Building where
we saw milking machines, diﬁeren-t
kinds of feeds and various brands of
oleomargarine. A little ways from
this building was a small building in
which bees were kept and there you
could see ‘the bee's making their
honey in glass hives."

We were standing outside the Bee
Building wondering Where to go
next when we heard the band play-
ing, so we walked over that way and
listened to a concert on an open-air
stage in a pretty grove. After- a
while we went to the Art Building
and there we saw many beautiful
pictures; I wished you girls and

boys-who like to'draw could have

been there with us to see them. From
there we went to the Women's
Building. In this building we look-
ed at many pieces of hand sewing;
some of them it had taken years
to make and one of them was offer-
ed for sale at one thousand dollars.
It was in this building that the Baby
Show was held.

There was also a model school on
the grounds. It was built like rural
schools should be to be most health—
ful for the children. By that I
mean that the windows were on the
side where there would be good light
but would not hurt the scholars eyes
and the desks were the right kind
and so forth.

In the Main Building there were

' nearly all kinds of talking machines,

furniture, washing machines, sewing
machines and pianos. The exhibits
in the Agricultural Building .were
about soils, different kinds of grains
and how to plan various buildings on
the farm. The next place we visited

was the building in which. the fruits '

we could."

were on exhibit. Over at one side
of this hall several different makes
of tractors. were displayed. I’ll bet

your fathers would spend most of

their time right here because the
men in charge of the tractors were
running them around showing peo-
ple how to plow and do many other
things with them.

It was noon by' this time so we de-
cided we would eat a hasty lunch-—
there were several dining halls on
the grounds—and then see the mid—
way before we went into the grand—
stand. _‘ . ' -

The midway was where all of the
shows and other amusements were.
And what an assortment of them
there were! There was the ierris-
wheel, and the merry-go-round, like
the ones at the county fair which you
attended, and there was the old mill,
where you got into a boat and travel-
ed through a tunnel amid beautiful
scenery. Then there was the crack-
the-whip, a flying swing and a roller
coaster. In addition to these there

were many shows in which there
were funny human freaks, trained
animals, motorcycle races, places to

go into and then have a lot ot‘funi.

trying to find the way out, and—oh,
I can’t begin to describe them all be—
cause there were so many. We did
not have much time to spend here-
as we wished ‘to get good seats in
the grandstand, so we hurried along.
But when we got into the grandstand.
we foundnearly all of the seats oc-
cupied and it was only by good for—
tune that we got seats where we,
could see all'that went (in. ~ ,

First there were athletic stunts,
such as running and jumping, then
there were auto ‘races. I wish you
could .have seen how fast those au-
tos went. They whizzed by the
grandstand at over a mile a minute.
One of them made a mile in 49 sec-
onds. After the races airplanes flew.
into the air and sailed around over-
head. On other days 'of the, fair a‘

wonderful and interesting sights.

There is a bulletin on this, subject
published by the Department at Ag—

gives detailed information on the

generally grown in gardens insofar
as the'soil conditions of the average

blueberries or the light sandy soils

not tell what their losses are in ad—

pany, or if there is an assessment
,dne before you severed your connec-

SWEET  Sm .
Does sweet corn make  ensilage?
—W. 8., Portland, Mich.

 

Sweet corn can be put in the silo
in the same manner as ordinary ﬁeld
corn, and will furnish an excellent
grade of silage. The aniysis and
feeding value of sweet corn ensilage
is practically the same as that of or-
dinary dent corn. The yield of sweet
corn is much less per acre, hence it
is not as valuable as dent corn for
growing for silage purposea—J. F.

'0 O O

Surely I should ﬁnd that we are
popular in Belgium. Hadn’t we fed
the Belgians. knitted'socks for the
Belgians, and sent our old high hats
and frock coats over to.clothe the
Belgian peasant as he tilled his acres
under guard of the German sentry.
From all I heard I might conclude
that the clot-hes we sent did not ﬁt,
the shoes we sent developed come,
and our food rations caused indiges-
tion. Subtle reasoning could even
have persuaded me that we stood
guilty of having kept the Belgians
alive in order to exploit them after
the war.

“Look at the rate of exchange!"
said the Belgians. “Flour costs in
francs three times what it did before
the war, and we have to pay three
times that because it now takes ﬁf-
teen francs to make a dollar, where
it only took five before the war.
Think of that “after having been in
the bread-line for four years; Think
of what we suffered under the Ger-
mans for the sake of the rest of the
world! Now America, who knew
nothing of the horrors of war, will
not even sign the Treaty to come to
little Belgium's defense if the Ger-
mans attack again—when you are so
rich and we are so poor!"

Again, while I am on the subject
of Belgium, I was reminded by Bel-
gians that, with all honor to Hoov-
er’s initiative and organization, the
sums which America gave him for

' food relief were relatively small. The
bulk of the fund came from the Brit-
‘ish and the French governments, as
Britons and Frenchmen do not hesi-
tate to remind the Belgians in these
commercial days, when each nation
aiming at trade opportunities in its
neighbors’ market, can always find a
popular subject in turning a point
against the international scapegoat.
’ ' It t t

After I had had the assurance of

our Allies of our small part in the
war and how .the President's insist-
ence on the “fourteen points" had
robbed them of the fruits of victory,
‘I went to 'Gerniany- expecting that
the late disagreement at arms might
be prolonged into a disagreement
with the Allies' view of us. Far
from it! Underneath the urgent de-
sire for ourhelp in credits and raw
-material was the same latent resent-
;ment that I had found elsewhere, em-
of beaten
,people.

"If" America had not come into the; :

fwar we should have won,” I was told.
; "Look: at the value of the mark—one
cent—when it used to be worthy
:tweuty-nve cents! W‘e unit because

polnte.’ See what we got!”

‘ ' ' '3 LAST ‘d’ 'Ht‘chismt has woke
v ‘ ' "unit, No more will she'beknown.
I so the sleepy ol' thing she has
but is the post! By the united. ef-
folﬁpt a few of our more public
spirited men, namely, our state box-—
ing commission, Michigan has been
p onto: the map of these great
W Slates an' new we c’n hold
up ourproud heads an’ look the 01'
would, an’ all right square in the
2 eyes an‘ feel that we’re some

pumpkins, as pumpkins go——iact is,

we‘re right_up among ’em now an'
there',,aiut no flies onto us no more
——lmt by adarn sight they ain’t.

Ol‘ Michigan has staged a prize-
ﬁghter—ac very successful aftair, the
papers. say—one big bully stood up
before admiriu' thousands an’ knock-
ed the livin’ daylights out’ve another
would be bully an’ men an'-——women
-—l’ve- been told, that women, a few
of ’em, wuz there—paid a lot of
good money to see it done.~
\ Ain’t it a funny world though? If
2 men git mad at each other an’ want
to ﬁght an’ are willin’ to do it right
out on the street, free of charge,
where folks c’n see it fer nothing,
the police’d cart ’em off to- the cal-
,abume—won’t let 'em give the en-
tertainment an’ the judge charges
the willln’ fellers nine, dollars an'
eighty cents jest for wantin’ to be
public benefactors, so to speak.

"Coors things is diﬂ’rent when the
ﬁght takes. place in an arena—there
is a lot of money to be made by pull—
in’ off ﬁghts in an arena don‘t-cha-
knew? An" while the ﬁghters may
get killed or hurt purty bad why
it all right jest so'it happens in an
’ areas an‘ has been paid for in good
coil of the realm, or words to that
effect.

An’ what an
inspirin’ thing a
ﬁrst class prize
ﬁght is! What
an inspiration to
our young men!
You know it’s a

. great questi o n
, withsome of our
ﬁnest boys jest

 

what they're go-
‘ ing to make of
themselves when they ﬁnish high
school an' git ready to ﬁnish their
education. ‘

_Well now the great question has
been solved for ’em, thanks to

_ our
state boxin' commission an’ they
know jest what to do—make prize
ﬁghters of themselves—that's the

answer-41th easy on," paysgood non:
ey an’in Michigan, its lawtul if not
honorable.

HOW glad the mothers of our state .

should ought to be an’ how thank--
ful to our boxin’ commissions, that
they is such a good chance opened.
for their,_boys to become somebody
of consequenw—you lmo'var good.
prize ﬁghters are. mentioned oftener
in our sportin' papers than the Pres-
ident or anybody else——they're the
real money makers of today an’ are
a noble (?) class of law abiding cit-'
izens ’cause Michigan has made it
lawful for 'em to fly their trade with-
in our borders 311' so of course they
must be respected here—publicly at
least no matter what we may think of
’em in private.

It don’t require much to be a prize
ﬁghter—no brains to speak of—jest
a bull dog jaw, a bull ‘neck an' a
hard muscle—a diet of fresh blood
is the proper thing—get in a few
ﬁghts now and then an’ ﬁnally chal-
lenge some guy you knew you can
lick an’ you’re all right on the right
on the road to fame—why its awful
easy an’ though in some places prize
ain’t looked up to much, in Michigan
they’re the real thing now an’ so its
a bully time for our young men to
think the matter over an’ see what's
best for ’em to do.

As Michigan has always had a
lack of real prominent men—men ya’
understand, who gits two or. three-
columns write up in the daily papers
every week or so—I'd jest suggest
that our state bonin' commission try
to induce Jack
Dempsey, Jack
Johnson an' a
few such noble
charact e r s...'t o
settle down in
our state so’s we
won't feel our
sha m e —— y o u
know its turrible
to be without
men of promin—
ence an’ ability an’ seems to me if
these men could be induced to live
here to be a inspiration. to our
splendid young men our pride an’
joy should be complete.

A prize ﬁght is a most ennobling
thing an’ Michigan an’ Michigan
fathers an’ mothers should glory in
the fact that, thanks to our splendid
boxin’ commission paid out of our
hard earned dollars, has jest pulled
off one of the real things—a prize
ﬁght right to a ﬁnish.

Seven years ago-a farmer living

Last week the animal, a. staid old
milch cow, was butchered for beef
and the timepiece was found in such‘
a position between the lungs of the
cowWMt the respiration—4m clos-

which-hiss just (:10  the most
successful aux-mitt. exhibit? that Mich-
igep has snare-heldpemo’uuted to $17,—
140.45. F. J'ﬁLessiter, Clarkston,
was superintendent "of the beef
breeds and W. H. Pew, of Revenue,
Ohio, was the judge in this division.
H. W. Norton, Jr., Howell, was sup-
erintendent of the dairy division. 
H. Standish, Lyons, Ohio, judged the
Holsteins and.,Ayrshires. The BroWn
Swiss, Devon and Belted cattle jvere
judged by J. M. Eager, How,ell,;Mich.
W. . R. Montgomery, , Hillsdale,. judg-
ed the Jerseys 'and‘ the Guernseys.
The cattle judge who had the hard-
est time _of it was Mr. Pew, because
of the close completition .in the'beef
department. The Outstanding qual-
ity, for which mapy ofthe entries
were noted, required the must caro-
ful‘ and painstaking work on the
part of the judge and Mr. Pew show-
ed himsclfto be one-of"the fairest
and most. uuerring judges of quality,
in beef types, that has ever, entered
a‘ Michigan Show ring} , '

The l“ba-by beef’Ltype Was largely
in evidence 3thro'ughout- the beef ~cat-
tle exhibit, a' fact which ,speaks well
for Michigan‘treederé‘: the ultimate
destination of all beéfcattle is'the
block and breeder, who does not
cater to the judgment and prefer-
ences of the retail butcher, will never
make a success in the ﬁeld of ,beef
production. ‘ Market .requirements
call for cattle of. lighter average.
weight thanﬁver before in the hist-
ory of this country and the breeder,
who “trims into the wind” regard—
less of what his personal preferences
may be, is the one that will be able
to balance his books at the end of
the year without the use of red ink.

The Wildwood farm herd, owned
by W.~E.'SCripps of Detroit, was in
evidence With an 'Aberdeen-Angus
herd, rich in the‘promise of future
beef production. The exceptional re-
ﬁnement sh‘own_by‘ the young things
in the Wildwood herd proves the
valueof the great bull, Edgar'of Dale
many, as a beef producer; this wond—
erful animal weighs :2,600 in .his
four-year-old form but all, of, his
calves, that have been born in this
country, have the quality and ﬁnish
of a‘_ high¢grade veal calf. ...Ndne' of
Edgar’s, calves .wereﬁhown, the old-
est was 16 months and the. youngest

V Many favorable comments. -were‘
heard, from visitors to the cattle di-
,vision, concerning the splendid ‘ex-
ghibit of medium-priced .Shorthorn
cattlemade by the Lassiter Bros, of
fClarkSton. When in
.with-anlmals that are within
:reach of the average farmer, this
herd will always carry away a long
stringof blue ribbons; the home-
Vbred' animals of which it is composted,
however, have not had the prepara-
tion neededin order to win‘against
gOhio’s leading herds ,of imported cat-
.tle.
‘making the exhibit for no herd of
pure—bred animalsever made more
friends in a. short period of time than
did the Lassiter cattle at this year’s
Michigan state fair. The Lassiters
won second prize on their beautiful
'three-year-old cow, Bonnie Marie;
second on two—year-old bull and on
fat st er. Fourth on junior yearling
and wo—year old heifers; fourth on
breeders young herd and calf herd;
ﬁfth on junior heifer calf,’ get of

In- the dairy division the competi-
tion was strongest and the number
of entries the largest in the Guern-
sey and Holstein-Friesian depart-
ments. The chief contestants among
the Holsteins were the Lenawee

Holstein division was Fred Knopf,

Blissfleld, a member of the Lenawee '
