 ~  ChiCaéo Grain Pit Den 0f Confidence Men

  Speculators Juggle F amiers’ Markets Without Let or Hinderance From Federal Authorities

‘By EH. MACK

OVERNOR ALLEN, of Kansas,

’ G voiced a popular demand, the
other day, when he urged

upon President Wilson the import-
ance of investigating the '- Chicago
Board of Trade. There are thous-
ands of honest men and women in
this country all of whom would be
delighted it the government would
close that den of confidence men and
short-change artists which does buss
‘iness under the name of a grain ex-
change. During the last few months
many of us have been asking our-

selves the question—Why did the.

government permit the resumption
of gambling in grain, after having
prohibited it for so long a time? It
gambling in grain and hog products
was not expedient during War-time
it surely is not expedient now, dur-
ing the trying day of readjustment.
During the early days of our history
as a nation, we are told that things
were quite diﬂerent but for the last
20 years, the progress of this coun-
try has been held~back by two great
scourges-——The election of a president
“everyfour years and legalized gamb-
ling in food products and stocks.
, When the Government relinquish-
ed control of the grain markets of
the country there were many who
predicted an immediate slump in
selling prices; the record shows that
not only did wheat tail to decline
but it advanced and held ﬁrm until
option dealing was again resumed.
The question naturally arises—Why
did wheat hold up after the govern—
ment support was removed? There
are two reasons (1,) Everybody, con-
’ nected with the business, knew that
it was costing as much to produce
wheat as it was selling for and they
were willing that the farmer should,
at least, get his money back. (2)
There was another reason why
wheat did not go down when the
government let go. The Chicago gang
of form players were not permit-
ted to use it for a pawn in connec-
tion with their conscienceless gamb-
ling operations. That organized
band of pit traders, with which the
Chicago Board of Trade is‘ equipped,
was not permitted to plan and con—
duct a 'bear raid on prices by repeat-
edlyj‘ofi’ering down" the market, sell-
ing small quantities short, e'vening
up at the ﬁrst opportunity and then
'selling short again. ’
Since June 1, 1920, No. 1 Red
wheat has declined $1 per bushel.
Will anyone claim that a bushel of
wheat is really worth 81 less than
it was four months ago? The crop
was known to be short then; it is
known to be shorter now. Europe
was starving for bread then, she is
starving for bread now. .Why, then.
should the selling price decline so
much at this particular time? The
answer to the above question is not
far to seek. The time is near at
hand when the farmer must market
his crop; he cannot borrow money,
therefore, he must sell his wheat.
Taxes and certain other obligations
will soon be due and he must have
the money, to meet them with, so
he draws his grain to market and
sells it for a price far below the cos
of production. '
Manipulation of Markets
'VThere is'in this country a large
army of men who make a business
' oi'merchandising the products of the
farm; they are well organized into
an association that includes all al-
lied.trade interests; each branch or-
ganization watches closely all mat-
ters. that naturally come under its
jurisdiction, the whole system work—
ing i‘to‘the' one general purpose,
namely,” the scaling down of the
: s‘eiiingwiprices of farm , products to
E’che lowest possible level, just at the

Rank Market Manipulation

quantities of something that they do not own and never bad

If dealers, on the Chicago Board at Trade or
on the New York Stock Exchange, were limited in their operations as
business men are in other departments of trade, much of the crooked-
nees, for which both of these organizations are noted, would be elim-
inated; in other words, it a broker, who. odor-ed to sell grain or pro-
visions on the Chicago Board of Trade, was obliged to give prima facie
evidence of ownership before making the tender; or if the purchaser
of ten thousand bushels of grain on ’change was obliged to actually
pay the real money for this grain, the world markets for farm pro-
ducts would soon become much more stable and reliable.

$1 per bushel last week. No other systun of trade, except the one
which permits a broker to sell a million bushels of wheat that he does

One of the
most effective
agencies in re-

farm products, is
the custom which
permits men to
sell large quan-
tities of some-
thing that they
do not own and

JUOGGNG THE FARMERS' MARKETS

Farmers’ Grain Committee Gets to Work

HE GRAIN marketing committee

of seventeen, represented and

ratiﬁed by all farm organizations
held its ﬁrst meeting in Chicago, 0c-
tober 4th and 5th. This is the ﬁrst
d‘eﬂnite stop ofall farmers of Am-
erica to create a grain marketing
system which will eliminate specu-‘
lation and stabilize prices. The com-1
mittee divided into ﬁve sub-commit-
tees to make a special study of co—
operatives marketing methods, cost
of marketing, storage and transpor-
tation, consumption and export and
ﬁnance. The committee on co-oper—
ative marketing methods will make
a study of every type of marketing
organization in the‘ United States
and report to the next meeting.

Prominent Marketing Men to Speak

At the next meeting to be held
November 4, 5 and 6, men of prom-
inence in theagricultural and mar-'
hating-ﬁeld will .be asked to address
the committee. These men are E:
T. "Meredith, Secretary of Agricqu
_ture; Victor Murdock, Chairman "of

the Federal Trade Commission; Ju‘l-
ius Barnes, United States Wheat Di-
rector; Herber Hoover, Bernard M.
Baruch, L. F. Gates, President of
the Chicago Board of Trade, Harold
G. Powell, Manager of the Califor-
nia Fruit Growers’ Exhange, also a
representative of the National Mill-
ers’ Federation and of the Canadian
Council of Agriculture.

When Chairman Gustafson of No-
braska asked each member to express
his idea of the work to the commit-
tee, the unanimous point brought out
was the necessity of each man to sink
his own individual pet ideas and go
at the problem with an open mind,

~ready to take the best of all sug-

gestions and arrive at a unanimous
conclusion which the farmers of the
entire country can tie to.

, A Statement to the Public
' After the two days business ses-i
sion, the committee issued a state-
ment to the public. warning against

the slashing of grain prices and de-

products would soon become much
more stable and reliable. Nothing
but the rankest market manipula-
tion could have caused corn to sell
below $1 per bushel last week. No
other system of trade, except the
one which permits a broker to sell
a million bushels of wheat that‘he
does not own, would have caused
December wheat to sell down to
$1.85 the other day.

Deceptive Practices

Permitting the sale of commodi-
ties that the seller does not own is
certainly a deceptive practice but
if it Was the only deception practic-
ed in connection with, so-called,
legitimate Board of Trade transac-
tions, the problem might be easier
to solve. To anyone who desires
to gain an insight into the intents
and purposes of the coterie of brok-
ers which dominates the Chicago
Board or Trade, the writer would
suggest that they make it a point
to be present when one of the reg-
ular annual landslides; in food pro-
ducts, is being staged; they would
witness some very peculiar market
phenomena, it is true, but they can
rest assured that what they are per-
mitted to see on these ocasions will
not be a “marker” to what they do
not see.

They will possibly be present when
the deluge of made-to-order. mar-
ket statisticsis let loose: the men
who originate the formulas for mak-
ing these joy-killing concoctions, are
past masters in the art of deception
and when the inexperienced operat-
or on the Board becomes permeated
with the doleful sadness which. they
exude, he will not be hard to con-
vince, that before the market turns
for the better, every commodity on
the list will sell for something less
than “nothing a opnnd." Tel-
egrams, purporting to come from the
growing ﬁelds where the Red Bug
and other dire disasters are said to
be rasing havoc with the farmer’s
hopes, are flashed before the eyes
of the poor fellow who is on the
wrong side of the market. The
dominating idea seems to be the de-
sire to create a false impression in
the mind of the inexperienced oper-
ator and, thereby, to induce him to
sell his holdings at a tremendous.
sacriﬁce. Who, in this great coun-
try of ours, is so callous and heart-
less that he is willing to sanction the
use of rank deception in connection
with so called legitimate market op-
erations?

Consumer is Not Benefith

It the consumer derived any ben-
eﬁt from the scaling down process
described above, it would be differ-
ent but the carefully arrapged de-
tails ot this gigantic conspiracy
against the American farmer, make
it certain that the ultimate consum-
er will derive no beneﬂt from the de-
cline in prices. The producer is
robbed, the consumer is mulcted and
the market manipulator is permitted
to feather his own nest. _

Is it possible that a government,
whose motto is—the greatest good
for the‘greatest number,——-will long
permit the iniquities to go unpun-
ished which are practiced in con-
nection with the buying and selling
of options in grain and provisions?
If the farmers’ orgaizations of this
country wish to accomplish some-
thing in the way of real market
stabilization, let them train their
guns on the Chicago Board of
Trade; let them use their combined
influence to secure the enactment of
a law which will make it a crime for ‘
a broker to sell commodities which’
he does not own or to buy more than

W0 BILLS will probably be laid

before the next session of the
“ legislature relating'to the State
Constabulary. One of these 'bills
will ask for an increase in the ap-
propriation for the organization;
the other for its abolishment. The
ofﬁcers of the State Constabulary
have at last admitted what we have
long contended, that its force is woe4
fully inadequate to guard all the or—
chards and capture all the unlicens—
ed dogs in the state, and that if
maximum results are to be obtain-
ed the force must be greatly enlarg-
ed. But this will mean doubling or
tripling the present appropriation
and before the people permits the
legislature to do that they should
first inform themselves fully regard-
ing the work of the Constabulary
and determine whether this organ-
ization is necessary to the proper
enforcement of the law, I hereby de-
clare my opinion that the state con-
stabulary is a useless, needless and
costly organization which should-be»
at once abolished. My reasons for
so thinking are set forth in the fol-
lowing paragraphs.

For many years the laws of
Michigan have been satisfactor-
ily enforced by the civil authori-

ties. During our war with Germany
the Michigan State Police was cre-
ated as an emergency force. When
the war ebbed there was no longer
any need for, the organization and
it too should at once have come to
an end. But the ofﬁcers liked their
soft positions and the administration
found in the state police an excel-
lent political machine, and both
were loath to have the organization
go out of existence. Consequently
I bill was introduced in the legisla-
ture to extend the tenure .of life in—
deﬁnitely and to provide an annual
appropriation of over $350,000. De-'
spite bitter opposition this bill was
passed, the friends of the measure

using with good effect the deceptive ,'
argument that a state police force ‘

was necessary to Curb the illegal
liquor trafﬁc between Ohio and
Michigan, Ohio being then wet, al-
though everyone knew that. within-
a short time after the bill became a
law Ohio would go dry with the rest
of the nation.

Be it said to the credit of the en—
terprising ofﬁcers of the Constabu—
lary that they have made a valiant
effort to justify their existence. They
have trhed their hand at everything
from corralling stray dogs to pub-
lishing a newspaper through the col—
umns of which they have kept up a
persistent propaganda conveying the
subtle insinuation that without the
strong arm of the Constabulary to
keep the lawless in check Michigan
would soon become the rendezvous
of all the desperadoes from Long Is-
land Sound to the Golden Gate. This
publication is supported largely by
advertising wrung from manufact-'
urers who dislike to chance the dis-
pleasure of the Constabulary by re—
fusing to advertise. What circula—
tion the paper has no one seems to
know. If the advertising receipts do
not pay all the expense of publication
we suppose the deﬁcit comes out of
the state treasury. There is anoth—
er form of propaganda carried on
by this military organization for
which the state pays. Readers of
country weekly newspapers have un-
doubtedly noted many stories pub—
lished therein setting forth 'the

The purpose and the result of this
propaganda is plain. It appears, to
show in a striking fashion that the
Constabulary is ﬁlling a long-felt
want in Michigan. It seeks to put
the public mind in a state (pf-gui-
esence if not acquiesence when the
question of continuing the organiza-
tion comes up before the next Aegis:
lature. But thetaxpayers who _has

are wearing unifbrms and exercising
military authority whenever their
fancy dictates, at the expense of the

er’s money to convince him that he
ought to perpetuate their jobs. It
does not make the case of the Con-
stabulary any stronger to admit that
its force has enforced some enfr-ac-
tions of the law. 7 When the record
is played up. in news stories it'looks
important, but consider the space it
would take to tell all the accom-
plishments of the civil authorities!
The State Constabulary is not only
needless but harmful. It seeks to
appropriate unto itself the duties of
the civil authorities. Indeed, if it
functions at all, it must perform
work which is essentially within the
realm of the civil police. This fact
quite naturally encourages laxness
and incompetency on the part of the
civil authorities. Why shOuld a sher-
iff or a constable or a city police-
man enforce the law and gain the
friends who
might be concerned in its violation
whenall they have to do is to call

'upon the state constabulary to en-

force it for them. _In scores of cases

2' What theAmerican Red Cross Has Done for Suffering Humanity

. N PERFORMANCE of its ﬁrst
.- ' duty, the American Red Cross,
v- through its millions of workers,
furnished. 387,000,000- surgical
dressings and garments to the hos-
pitals and camps during the great
World War. , . .

It furnished aid and comfort to
ﬁve million-ﬁghting men and' to
twice that number of civilian suffer—
ers and refugees. The exact num-
ber of these refugees will never be
known. In France alone they num-
bered 2,900,000. ’ ‘

Today the Red Cross is serving the

17,000 men and ofﬁcers of the Unit-

ed States army in Germany.

From July, 1917, to May 1, 1920,
$279,000,000 was spent by Ameri-
cans through the Red Cross in bring-
ing this aid to those who were ﬁght»

ing and __sufferi‘ng,in foreign lands.

During the same period, aid fur-

etc., will make their competing in—

America’s position is the same as
that-of the farmer and to keep from
being inundated by this flood of for—

eign goods, we must receive these

goods at our ports and redistribute
them to other countries. We must
cease to be a preducer only, and be-
come a distributor, or rather hold on
to the distributing business which
we have gained during the war.

To do this, we must establish our

to every farmer, almost to his past—
ure gate, the necessity for, apﬁrmly'
established foreign trade carried on d,
by an All-American Merchant Fleet. '1;
The story was this: A certain "
creamery was ordered to decrease its ,_
supply of milk. The order appear— 3.
ed on its face to be a move on the '
part of milk distributors to
force up the price of milk
in New York City, and
caused a furious protest.
As a matter of fact there
was no conspiracy. The.
.order was a necessity be-
cause the export trade in 3...;
milk had suddenly fallen i}
off. It had grown like a 
mushroom and faded as 
rapidly.
Up to very recently, this
country exported 884 mil—
lion pounds of evaporated
and dessicated milk. The
milk was sent all over the
world, chiefly to Europe,
but it also went to Japan,
to China, to India, to South
Africa to every place on
the globe. Now, however,
milk exporters ﬁnding their
foreign trade sudden-1y
melting away, knew that
one half of the milk sup-
ply ofthe country has to
be stopped for a while.

    
      
 
    
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    
  
 
 
 
   
   
  
 
 
 
    
   
   
    
   
   
   
  
    
   
   
  
    
   
   
     
  
  
   
   
  
   
   
    
  
  
    
   
    

 

 

 

The farmers were the
sufferersw—many of them

had to sell their cows, and
are still selling them. On
their part they were asked
why they charged so much
for their milk. They re-
plied. “We are paying $52
a ion for middlings; we
are paying $32 a ton for
timothy; $31 a ton for al-
falfa or clover. Comment—
ing on these prices, Mr Ross says:
“When out west I raised a good_
deal of hay, and I would be tickled
to death if I got $19 a ten for the
ﬁnest timothy ever grown. The
dairy farmers now have to pay $32
a ton—think of it!”

And so it could be traced right
down to the core. But it all comes
back to the fact that the farmer is
directly affected by America’s for—
eign trade relations and his. fortune
depends on a well organized system
of foreign trade which can only be

OUT-OVER LANDS

With regard to the cut-over lands,
would say the state oifers no speciﬁc
inducement for settlers on cut-over

: lands, except under the provisions of

g the Michigan Securties 00.,

' plications to homestead are

the homestead laws, which admit ‘of
prospecting certain lands on the
basis of 100 an acre.

The Public Domain Commission
particularly withdrew all state lands
from sale some years ago, because
the lands were not considered desir—
able for agriculture. However, ap-
given
careful consideration and under
proper conditions are granted. In
the last twenty years a good many

; thousand acres of state lands have

been homesteaded successfully, and
a good many thousand acres have
proven unsuccessful. However, the
State homesteads cut-over lands are
comparatively small. The large

' acreage of these lands is privately

owned.

The Public Domain Commission
has set aside a large portion of the
state lands for reforestation pur-
poses. They consider the best use
that can be made of the most of these
lands is reforestation. Shall be glad

to furnish you any further informa- '

‘tlon you may desire.———Geo. L. Lurk,
Secretary Public Domain Commission,
Lansing, Mich.

It would appear from the above
that you would have no difﬁculty in
securing a tract of state land for
reforestation purposes, although it
is probable that the state has al—
ready engaged in reforestation pro—
jects on the majority of lands best
suited to that purpose. We know of
nothing which would prevent a group
of individuals from acquiring and
holding lands for the purpose you
describe. Would suggest that you
visit the Public Domain Commission
and discuss your plan with Mr. Lusk

TEXAS OIL PRODUCTS CO.

I am enclosing some literature regard-
ing the Texas Oil Products Co., which is
selling stock in this community. Their
agent says that their plant is nearly
ready to begin operation and he prom-
ises that the stock will pay enormous
dividends. Do you consider this a. rea—
sonably safe investment‘I—F. D.. Hes-
peria, Mich.

As a general thing we are sus—
picious of stock—selling corporations
that promise “enormous dividends.”
As a general thing the capitalists of
the big money centers do not permit
a sure-thing bonanza to slip through
their ﬁngers to the piker investor.
Withgovernment bondsat taper cent
and rail securities only slightly high-
er, what man of means and brains
would long permit his money to re-
main in such securities when “enor-
mous dividend” payers were on the
market.

There are exceptions to both these
rules. The Texas Oil Products Co.
may be one of them. According 1:0
“t a

and are of course, favorable to the

bear the following reminder,

So far as we are able to discover
the directors of this company are
honest and responsible men. The
facts seem to show that the company
is actually working on its reﬁnery
and has satisfactory connections with
crude oil concerns. All these facts,
however,‘ do not necessarily assure
the company of success. It must be
taken into consideration that the
anticipated proﬁts are based upon
abnormally high prices which soon-

remember that hundreds of keen

sent to Phillipsborn’s for one pair of
boys black shoes, price $3.68, No. 5A—
9718, I received them. The soles crack-
ed after about two weeks wear, so I
returned them. They wrote and said
they couldn’t trace them out. They sent
me a blank to make out and the No. of
the P. 0. money order which I got from
the pestmaster and sent them at the
same time I sent the shoes, I sent un—
der separate cover a, money order extra
for exchange on aprons and blouse. I re-
ceived the blouse and that's all. I have
written since but can’t get any answer
from them. So they owe me $7.80.——M
E. G.. Marion, Mich, Sept. 13t . '

Before we had time to take this
matter up with the company we re-
ceived a letter from Mrs. G. advis-
ing that she had received payment.
The company was just a little slow,
that’s all. Perhaps its motto is,

' “better late than never."

GROESBECK'S RELIGION
Would you please tell me what church
Mr. Groesbeck belongs tot—Reader, Eat-
on Rapids, Mich.

Reports have gone out that Mr.
Groesbeck is a Catholic but we are
advised that this is not true. For
a number of years he has been an
active Consistory work in Detroit
Masonic circles. The Catholic story
’probably grows out of the friendli-
ness of that organization on account
of his stand on the parochial school
amendments—Associate Editor.

 

“’EIGHT OF LOAF 0F BREAD

l have read carefully your article on
the Price of Bread in the Oct. 2 number.
The editorial concerning this piece gives
the idea that a pound loaf of bread costs
17 cents. We have sold bread for sev-
eral years at the present time we sell a
21 to 22 ounce loaf of bread for 16-
cents. During the past summer a 1:60
on
may pay 170 for a. 18 oz, loaf in Mount
Clemens, but up through thi‘ territory
they weigh 20 to 22 ounces. read may
be too high but I think this statement
should be corrected for this part of
ﬁicglm at leash—M. S. ttemore.

c

We ﬁnd that you are right. Some
bread retailing in Mt. Clemens at
18¢ a leaf is supposed to weigh 24
ounces. Other loaves selling at 18
and 17 cents weigh only 16 ounces.

7 immediately wrote them regarding the
matter. They said they only had one
of a kind in each style so I returned the
two dresses they sent and wrote them to
refund money for ,same also to return
money for the two ordered which they
did not send, I wrote them at least
twice after that saking them to send the
money, $6.76. At last I received a check
from them for $3.88, also letter stating
they was enclosing check for goods I‘
had returned, never mentioning the re-
mainder. I wrote them once more and
received no reply.——Mrs. M H. R., Hart-

Three’weeks later Mrs. R. receiv-

ed a check of $3.38 for the balance
due her.

UNABLE TO SHIP GOODS; RE-
TURN CHECK

On March the 23rd, I sent an order

Sears Roebuck & C0,, Chicago, 111., for

distillate andmy personal check for 828.

About a week after I received the card ,

stating they got the checkyand the goods
would be shipped about April 16. They
didn't send the oil and we have written
twice to them and receive no answer.
Would you please see if you can have
them forward the oil as they have our
money so long we want the oil—P. P.,
Harbor Beach, Mich.

Correspondence with S. R. & Co.
showed that the goods had not been
shipped owing to the refusal of the
railroad company to accept them.
Accordingly Mr. P’s money was re-
funded to him.

May I ask your help in collecting
$15.14 from Sears Roebuck & Co. Chi-

The letter received by our sub-
scriber was a printed circular which
the concern sends out to all who re-
quest a cancellation 0! their "or-
ders" when they wake up and ﬁnd
they have been duped by a smooth- ww
talking salesman. It reminds our ~
subscriber that it is a dimcult mat-
ter to trace her f‘painting” through
the \thousaud and one different
channels through which it must
pass from receiving room to head
artist. Our subscriber is assured,
however, that after a tedious and
thorough search, they had found it,
but alas, the work was too near com-
pletion to permit of a cancellation. .
As proof of this statement a report i
is enclosed which shows that the 
painting has just been "inspected ~ ’ v

» and approved by head artist." Oon- ii
sequently, “we regret that we are ,-
unable, as you will see by the eu— 
closed, to comply with your request
and cancel your order." «

We wrote the Chicago Portrait
Co., and told them that we had ad-
vised our subscriber not to accept
her “painting,” and that we would
stand back of her if the company at-
tempted to force collection. We
have never heard from them.

My advice to our subscriber and ‘
all other victims of the Chicago Por- I
trait 00., is to turn the dog loose
when their agent comes to deliver ,
their “paintings.”

- TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
There have been no new develop-

ments of importance in connection, V

with the general trade and business
outlook of the county; it may be
truthfully’ said, however, that the
decline in the volume of business
done, the country over, has progress-

ed steadlly at about the same ratio ‘ '

that has- ruled. since tho-beginning
of ,the price-cutting habit, early in
July. In view of the discouraging
condition Which rule the market for
basic commoditia web as cotton and
manufactured cotton goods, wool and
manufactured woolen cloths, hides.
leather, rubber and sugar, ihere is
very little-opportunity for business

v expansion. Jobber-s and wholesalers

I

continue to defer making purchases,
except in a hand-oo—mouth way and
the continued decrease in the week-
ly turnover of the big mail order
houses, like Sears Roebuck & 80.,
and Montgomery Ward & 00., seems
to indicate that the animate consum-
er is confining his purchasing oper-
ations to; the actual necessities of
life.
tion that the recent cut in the sell-
ing price of many different makes of

automobiles, has or will in the im- .

mediate future, stimulate the taking
of orders in this branch of the man-
ufacturing ﬁeld; on the contrary,
there are many recent developments
in connection with the automobile
industry, that seem to indicate that
the public is not buying pleasure ve-
hicles at this time. Since the be-
ginning of August, a large number

, of business failures have been report-

ed and there is reason to believe that

. this condition of things will persist

during the remainder of the year.
Some Improvement Seen
Oontrasted with the rather dis-
couraging facts cited above, there
are unmistakable signs of improve-
ment along certain lines. A marked
improvement in transportation is re-
ported from all parts of the coun-
try. The freight jams and terminal
confusion, which existed all the early
part of the summer, have been re-
lieved and a material advance has
been made in the rate at which the
trafﬁc is moving. Another encour-
aging bit of information comes in
the form of the assurance that the
general average efﬁciency of the Am-
a-lean laboring man is increasing by
leaps and bounds"; the above in-
formation comes in direct and speedy
fulfillment of a prediction made in
this column week before last. While
the strain upon the general trade sit-
uation, the country over, is by no
means relieved, bankers and other
experts in finance are frequently
heard to express the opinion that
the strain upon credit has passed
the “peak” and will continue to grow
less as the season advances and the
volume of business continues to con-
tract; it is safe to assume, that with
the slowing down in all business
lines, less money will be needed to
keep the wheels turning. Informa-
tion concerning large yields of farm
crops must be regarded as encour-
aging news to the country at large
but it would mean much more to the
farmer, hyasel‘ f, if Insights and ﬁx-
ed charges for handling had not

been advanced, during the last six,

‘months from 20 to 40 per cent. The
tremendous, declines in grain and
provision prices which have taken
place on the Chicago Board of Trade
have been very discouraging to
farmers as a class and there is good
reason to believe that the acreage of
winterwheahtobesownihtfal
will be greatly reduced because of
the decline in
cereal.
Decline in Steel and Iron

The demand for both iron an!
steel-is said to be slowing down and
an early decline in the selling prices
of the former is conﬁdently prediwad
by those most familiar with the
habits of the trade in this commod-
lty; one of the reasons by which
steel manufacturers have recently ac-
counted for the high  sinist-
ural steel, has been the uniform ﬁrm-
.ness of the entire iron and general
hardware market. Should iron sell

One of the most signiﬁcant de-
velopments, in connection with the
general business situation, is a re-
cent marked contraction in connec-
tion with corporate ﬁnancing; stock
and bond salesmen, the country over
report a slump in stock sales. 'Dur-
ing the month of August, this year,
new ﬁnancing of industrial, railroad
and other business enterprises only
equalled one third in amount of
What it was during August last year.
The ﬁrst six months of 1930, how-
ever, saw the issue of new securities
equal to output of “the entire year,
1919. Bank clearings have recent-
ly declined in volume and the de-
mand for money, to ﬁnance current
and future industrial operations, is
decidedly slack.

The Lumber Situation

Fulﬁlling a prediction
this column, week before last, a
sharp decline in lumber prices, at re-
tail, has been registered all along
the line. Reductions amounting to
about $12 per thousand have been
made in southern pine bill stuff and
cuts in about the same proportion
have been made in many of the bet-
ter grades of lumber. Retail lumber
dealers in ails/ago, in order to stim-

made in~

ulaie fall and winter building oper-
ations, have cut prices on all dimen-
slonlnmbertfrom28tc25peroont.
Maple and oak flooring have been
reduced from 17’to 30 per eent in
the Gileago market and all other
hardwoods are $8 per cent ,ylower
ﬂan on this date, last month. From
the rural districts "of the country-at
large, comes the information that,
owing to the recent decline in the
value of farm products, hundreds of
farmers are giving up plans for many
important building operations and
are cancelling tentative orders, re-
cently placed with their local lum-
ber dealers; there are rumors, to the
eﬂect, that dealers will make an of-
fort to hold many of these orders
by making material price conces-
sions. . I
Inflated Demand Ourtnlled

That the demand for manufactur-
ed goods, in many departmemis of
trade, has fallen 'oif goes without
saying but the reduction in the num-
ber of bona ﬁde orders placed dur-
ing the current menth, is more ap-
parent than real; it has been the
practice of late, in many branches of
trade where, deliveries have been
slow, to place duplicate orders with
several manufacturers, take deliver-
ies from the ﬁrst to oil's!- the goods
and cancel all the other orders. It
was often months after the orders
were placed before delivery of the
goods would be given; in the mean-
time each manufucturer was count-
ing his orders, never thinking that
a half dozen more dealers might be

counting the same orders. Now that

deliveries are made much more
promptly, the practice of duplicat-
ing orders has been abandoned and
"the cat is out of the bag."
Conditions in connection with un-
employment, are- growing worse
every day, as time goes on and the

problem,‘as to how the familtm of

many laboring men in large dtles
will manage to exist during the com-
ing winter, is a serious one. No

A tremendous increase in trading
in futures in the wheat market, on
the Chicago Board of Trade during
the past week, is noted and interest
in the probable future of this im-
portant cereal is reported to be at
white heat throughout the great
wheat producing states of the west.
The members of farm organizations,
in many districts, are signing agree--
mentsnot to sell wheat on current
quotations and an early decrease in
arrivals, at primary market psints,
is anticipated. Bull operators on
the wheat market are looking to the
farmers for assistance in the big un-
dertaking involved in the effort to
boost wheat prices in the face of the
general downward trend of nearly
all other commodities.

The current week’s business in
the grain market opened on Monday
with a strong upward trend and the
concensus of opinion, among traders,
seems to be that the entire list'ls
over-sold and that prices will be
crowded up much above present lev-
els before existing short lines in the
market can be evened up. Canadian
wheat continues to be the bogey man
in the equation; there have been
rumors afloat, to .the effect that the
Dominion government may soon as-
sume control and prevent the ex-
portation of wheat. Should the
above rumors prove to be well found-
ed it will be'regarded as a strong
bull argument‘ by the “talent;” if
Canadian wheat is permitted to come
into our market, the verdict is that
prices will very soon have another
slump.

In Chicago, on Monday, the visi-'
ble supply in wheat decreased 625,—
000 bushels. In Minneapolis, spring
wheat is holding just about steady.
No. 1 dark Northern selling 15 cents

The prevailing opinion, among Mich-

7 ed in-Connection’with the/demand for
hay, borers prefer the better grades-
and all of the cheaper kinds are no-
glected. The general opinion among
dealers seems to be that hay will sell
lower, a little later on, .when the
farmer has more time at his disposal
with which to make deliveries.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS
Beginning-early last week, a much
better demand for killing cattle de—

 

veloped all around the market circle ..

and prices hardened materially, the
ﬁrst set back coming on Friday when
all, except the beat grades of steer
cattle, sold lower-4 than on the day
before. A new high record for
strictly prime steer cattle was made

~ last Friday, when two 'carloads of

branded Herefords. averaging 1,-
375 pounds, sold for $18.50~ per
ewt. Never before, in the past his-
tory of the conntry, have fat steers
been so scarce as now.

All last week, up until Friday,
butchers settle kept moving up' the

supply referred to above, rangers
sold well all the week and in many
cases at gains from last week that
equalled fully $1 per cwt. Arrivals
in the range cattle department, for
the first five days, last week were
19,009 head as comparing with 27,-
800 the week before which was the
largest run of the season.

The buying of stockers and feed-
ers is still being hampered by the
lack of available money; even here
in Michigan many old feeders with
ﬁrst-class credit, have been refused
money by their banks, to use in ﬁn-
ancing long-term cattle feeding op;

stations; they have been assured all

the funds. they need for current
shipping operations but absolutely
no extension of credit beyond 30 or
6-0 'days. While the Chicago market

every day for the want of buyers.
Taken in the aggregate, it is safe to
state that stockers and feeders show-
ed a gain. for the week in the Chi-
cago market, of 75 cents per cwt.

The falling off in the arrivals of
westerns, in Chicago last week was
just as noticeable in the sheep yards
as in the cattle alleys; one bunch of
held-over western lambs sold for
$13. The top for native lambs was
$12.25 on Friday. Fed western
yearlings sold up to $8, common aged
ewes from $5.25 to $5.75, culls at
$3 and canners at $1.60 percwt. Chi-
cago reported a good demand for
feeding lambs at prices ranging from
$11.50 to $1 per cwt.

Live Hogs and Provisions

One of the recent developments in
connection with the demand for live
hogs has been a complete reversal in
the demand for pigs since this time
last week when they were selling at
$1 discount from mixed hog prices.

learned to admire Hudson from the
viewpoint of the “man in the other
car.” Perhaps you, too, have noted the
characteristic all Hudsons reveal when
fast going without exceeding the speed
limits, is a factor.

Alertimss and immediate response to
the throttle accounts for the way Hud-
Csons take advantage of every driving
opportunity. ' There is no motor labor.

 Driver and Car
Act as One

You frequently hear Hudson owners
speak of the way their cars answer as
though they were a part of their own
impulse. Never a sense of the mechan-

ical. All feeling that there is a motor

'and complicated merchanism is absent. ’7

No wonder Hudson owners are so
partial to their cars. And no wonder
other motorists are forced to recognize

the 1 Hudson quality.

Pride of ownership to many means
beauty of line and the qualiﬁes that
excite admiration while the car is inac- q
tive. In these particulars the Super-
Six in.evcry type of design meets every

that excites'the greatest praise for Hud-
son—whether it be in establishing
world records for speed, acceleration
and mountain climbing, or in the con-
stant uninterrupted and therefore eco-
nomical operation required for private
service.

Yet Hudson’s supremacy. means no
added complications, weight or size. It
results from an exclusive Hudson in-
vention ,_whjch added 72% to the power
of motors of its size, and increased eﬂi-
ciency by 80%.

A Leadership That Has Stood

for Five Years

-For ﬁve years that invention has kept
Hudson foremost in performance. And
since its discovery and adoption Hud-
son has always been the largest selling
ﬁne car-in the world.

The unremitting study, experiment
and development of years has made the
present Hudson a ﬁner car in many
ways than these earlier Super-Sixes. No
rival challenges its supremacy by odi-
cial proof.

‘A BIT OF HISTORY "

their trial it was proven they were
acting according to the dictation‘df

' priests of Quebec advise their young

men to withstand the law? The
answer *isl'thls. In the year 1914
there was ﬁred a shot that went
round the world by a parochial
school .student. His action was lnv
spired by contention in his heart
against the forcing upon his coun-
try [and the parochial schools of an-
other faith than their own. His
countrymen were Greek Catholic.
and Roman Catholic parochial schools
was being forced onto them by Ana-

Lutheran parochial school advocate

8 What One Dairyman
. Learned About HEBE

He had heard many conﬂicting stories, regarding this new
food’ product—some that it would injure and some that it
would beneﬁt the dairying industry. Desiring to form his
opinion from facts rather than hearsay he started out to investi-
gate. During the course of his investigation he called at the
ofﬁces of the Hebe Company and asked some-very searching

questions.

“I have been told,” he said, “that
HEBE is being marketed as evaporated

- milk or a substitute fer it. Is this so?”

“It is not,” was the reply, “HEBE is
produced, labeled, advertised and mar-
keted as a distinctive dairy product for
use in the home as a cooking and baking
ingredient.”

“But some dealers sell it as, or for
evaporated milk” he objected.

“There are such cases of ‘misrepre-
sentation,“ was _the reply, “but they

"arebecorning'fewer' each day due to
r the widespread campaign of education
a which the Hebe Companyiisconducting

by: which-the consumer is learning the

7 exact nature and uses of HEBE and the

dealer is bein‘gémade to realize» thathis
greatestp'no’ﬁt'lies in selling the product

for just what it is.’.’ He Wasshown the'

methods employed by the Company to

correct misrepresentation on the part of

the distributor and misuse by the con-
sumer. His attention was ,directed to
the! label which speciﬁcally states what

’7 HEBE is 'and its uses.

“15' not the real purpose of HEBE to
develop a market for c'ocoanut fat rather
than a market for skimmed milk?” he
asked— . . _

“Dccidedly not,” was the reply. “To

- make every hundred pounds of HEBE

it takes 210 pounds of skimmed milk and
only 7.8 pounds of cocoanut fat and this
small amount of non-dairy ingredient is
used for the sole purpose of supplying
the large amount of dairy ingredient
with the shortening and other elements
necessary to make it desirable as a cook-
ing medium. It is no more true that the
skimmed milk is used asa vehicle to
bring cocoanut fat to market than is it
true that butter is used to bring salt or

,‘ice.cr.eam to bring‘gelatine to market.

These non-dairy ingredients all serve

"the same purpose—tomake the dairy

ingredients better for the uses in-
tended.” A 
f‘How will the sale of HEBE beneﬁt the

j dairy industry?” was the next question.

“By developing a human food mar-
ket for skimmed milk” was the reply.
Government reports were produced
which showed that yearly over 30 bil-
lion pounds of skimmed milk was not
ﬁnding its natural and' most proﬁtable
market as a direct human food. The
statements of government and other
authorities were read to show the need
of creating such- a market if the dairy
industry is to best serVe humanity and
itself. HEBE, it was pointed out, is
one means to this end. _ . V

“How will this beneﬁt all dairymcn?”
he next asked. I

“That which beneﬁts the industry as
a whole must beneﬁt each individual
member,” he was answered. “Every can
of HEBE sold and every bit of adver-
tising put out is helping to educate the
public to a greater use of dairy prod-
ucts. The ice cream industry is a paral-
lel case. Every dairyman, whether he
ships his product to an ice cream factory
or notbeneﬁts by the increased demand
caused by the use of nearly 4 billion
pounds of milk yearly by the ice cream
manufacturers.” ' '  "

“Why are you advertising HEBE in
the farm paperSP’I he asked.

“For no other purpose” he was told,

_ “than to give other dairymen as we are

giving here to you‘the facts of HEBE in
its relation to the dairy industry so that
these men may have a complete and ac-
curate knowledge of the subject and
form their opinion. of our product and
our company from facts and not from
prejudice or from mis—statements on the
part of wilful or uninformed persons.”

At the close of the interview the dairy-
man visitor expressed his satisfaction at
the frank and straightforward answers
given to his questions and made this sig-
niﬁcant remark “If every dairyman who
now sees in HEBE a menace to his busi-
ness could have the opportunity of going
into this subject with you as thoroughly
as I have, I ‘am sure'he wouldsee HEBE
in an entirely different light.” .

Grant Slocum and the M. B. F.
E LEARN that because of Mr. Grant
Slocum ’s former connection with the

Business Farmer some people have the notion .

that he is still identiﬁed with this publication.
As a result some of the country weekly news-
papers have credited him with certain articles
and editorials which have appeared in these
columns the last few months. In justice to
both Mr. Slocum and ourselves it should again
be stated that he is not connected in any way
with this paper. .-
It is true that in its early days the Business
Farmer was fortunate enough to have resort
to the splendid organizing genius and the re-
freshing editorial viewpoint of Mr. Grant Slo-
cum. But because of his many other duties
which had prior claim to his attentions he was
obliged to give less and less of his time to the
Business Farmer, and when in January lest
he was chosen president of the National Glean-
er organization the duties of which required
his whole time and attention, be disposed of
his entire holdings in this publication to the
present publishers and has not contributed an
article or taken any part in shaping the poli-
cies since that time. The names of all these
having a hand in the editing and publishing of
the Business Farmer and the positions , they
hold are given at the top of this column where
any changes that may be made in the personnel
will also be noted. .- '
I Mr. Grant Slocum’s retirement from the
Business Farmer does not mean that we. have
lost him as a friend, for we believe he is just

i as anxious today as ever that the Business
‘ Farmer shall prosper.

In fact, we are quite
'sure that if we should at any time in the fu-
ture request Mr. Slocum to contribute a signed
article to these columns, he would gladly com-
ply with our request. Believing that our read-
ers would enjoy an Occasional article from his

‘ virile pen we, shall most assuredly extend him

the invitation.

Sugar Prices and Beet Contracts
HE SUGAR beet grower should not over-
look the fact that,there is a deﬁnite rela-

' tion between the trend in sugar prices and

what he is going to get for his 1920 crop-of
beets. It is now plain that he will not'recelve
the $16 or $17 which the manufacturer prom-

' ised him last spring as an inducement to grow

beets. The Michigan factories are already of-

4 faring their 1920 output at $12.90 per cwt. for

future delivery which is dead-sure evidence
that. they do net expect the market price to go
above that ﬁgure before they are obliged to
sell the major part of their supplies.

It is conceivable that the sugar market may '

go so low as to enable the manufacturers to
settle for beets at the minimum price of $10.

It is highly improbable, ’ however, that prices_
will reach such depths :astto. cause the menu--
‘ {lecturers themselvesany less. It‘is  I

Ackerman, president of the Beetﬁ‘Growei-s’

Ass’n, anpunces that he  vigorously renew 7

his efforts for a conference. On the other
hand the Farm Bureau has announced a meet-
ing of grower representatives October _19th, to

which the ofﬁcers of the Grower's? Ass-9n have

not been invited. What the plansmf-the Farm
Bureau may be we knoweth not, but we do
know that if the Farm Bureau seeks to solve

the sugar beet problem‘without the counsél and.

co-operation of the Beet Growers’ Ass ’n, it
will quite likely come to grief. ' There should
be harmony between the two. There must be
harmony between the two. The Beet Growers'
Ass ’n cannot win without the 'Farm Bureau
and the Farm Bureau cannot win without the
Growers’ Ass’n. There are enough "farmers
outside of the ranks of either organization to
grow beets and defeat any efforts which either
organization might put forth. Let them join
hands and they will have a, combination that
cannot be beat. ‘

I Premiums

IN THE good old days before the war you
O could get a premium with almost anything
you bought. But high prices put a kink in the
premium business and the consumer gradually
learned that he usually paid for the premium
in the long run. Today about the only prem-
iums you can get are with certain brands of
cheap cigarettes and cheap farm papers.

When the manufacturer of a well-knownar-
ticle or the publisher of an established news-
paper olfers a premium as an inducement to
buy he admits that either his product is not
worth the price he asks or he cannot meet
competition on merit.

The majority of farm papers will not oifcr
orcmiums to prospective subscribers. They do

not believe that the practice is sound or even-

lcgitimate. You cannot get a premium with
such publications as the Country Gentleman,
Prairie Farmer, Saturday Evening Post, Farm
and Fireside and scores of other high-class
publications which we might mention. You
cannot get a premium with the Business Farm-
er. There are a number of farm papers, how-
ever, which have built their circulations and
maintain them through an elaborate force of
selling agents who are prepared to offer almost
any kind of premium or inducement to sign
up a subscriber. ,

The Business Farmer has never oﬁered a
premium to any subscriber except as a reward
to secure additional subscribers. We do not
believe the practice of giving premiums is
sound or even legitimate. We believe that the
money spent in premiums could better be spent
and should be spent in giving the subscribers
a better publication. :If we cannot make this
publication interesting enough so that farmers
will pay our regular subscription price for
the paper itself we shall never admit our fail-
ure by giving away as an added inducement a
lot of cheap truck camoflauged to' represent
something of value.

Labor and the Farmer
E HAVE contended and do contend that
the interests of the laboring man and the
farmer are not identical. We do contend, how-
ever, that in many respects they are similar.
Is it through fear that these two classes may
some day recognize the similarity of their‘in-
terests and join hands for mutual betterment,
that such concerted efforts are being made to

' bait the two against each other? Much prop-
aganda that comes out of the Washington head- ._

quarters of a certain farm organization harps
upon the high wages that are being paid to
laboring men and their effect upon farm wages.
It would almost appear that some folks would
have the laboring men work, for nothing .if
they had their way about it. V -
Just how high or low wages should be under
present and proSpeCtive living conditions is a
mooted question. The laborer himself natural-
ly centends that wages are. not, too high and
cannot revert to their former low level. The

  thahlso  V ' r

I.  the hours of labor the'vfarmer is
told that the shorter «the recognized- ' . Wl‘ﬁns, '
day of the city the shorter it must be upon the
farm. This isonly partially true. Men who

 

nature—of the work is'such that hours must be
uncertain and some times long. If the farm
J'Ob oﬁers them any advantage over the city
Johﬂmy know that it must be in some other
direction than in the number of hours they
work each day. The living conditions ‘upon
the farm and in the city are so, radically dif-
ferent that we cannot believe the average work-

er will be swayed in his choice by the slight . ‘
difference in working hours. The man who

likes the city will’stick to, the city; the man who
likes the farm will sooner or later seek the
farm job. " ' -
It is not fair to the millions of industrial
workers to compare their hours of labor and
their wages with those upon the farms. The
only standard by which these things should be
measured is the scale obtaining within the city
itself. If employers, clerks, lawyers, doctors,
dentists, waiters, stenographers, et cetera, work
nine and ten hours per day there is no reason
why the man who works at day wages should
not put in equal hours. But, is there any jus-
tice in demanding, that the wage earner shall
labor ten hours per day when everybody eke
in- the city knocks OR at the end of seven or
eight hours. The laboring man would have for
less,  , is over his hours of labor if his
fellow workers holding clerical positions in of-

lies and store set him’a gwdmample by doing '

a full day’s work themselves. But this th
prefer not to do, and those who are in a p03-
tion to reach the farmer’s ear seek to arouse
his animosity against the laboring man by tell-
ing him that labor’s demands are diametrically
opposed to his interests. 7

We refuse to believe that. the farmer will
align himself with any scheme to restore the
old scale of wage conditions in the city. Bar-
ring the unmoral and unreasonable demands of
certain labor leaders bent upon destroying in-
dustry and erecting a'soveit oligarchy u its
ruins, the farmer is, we believe, in sym-
pathy with the laboring man’s effort to insure
for himself a living wage which will enable
him to rear a family, educate his children and
have enough money when he dies to keep him
out of the potter ’s ﬁeld. If not, then our faith
in the milk of human kindness is rudely shaken.

He Proﬁts Most Who. Serves Best

‘ IN THOUSANDS of American and European

cities there is an organization called the
Rotary Club. I want the readers of the Busi-
ness Farmer to know something about this
Club because I hope to see the day come when
its work will be duplicated in our rural com-
munitiee.

Active membership in the, Rotary Club is I
. conﬁned to one member from each class of '

busine and profession in the city. Usually
the ﬁrm represented is the leader in its class.
This limits the membership and makes every
member individually responsible for perform-
ing a certain share of the Club ’8 work. That is
unimportant, but the service which this Club
is rendering, to humanity at large is important
and deserves consideration.

In the language of the Club, Rotary means ~

service. Most men join clubs and lodges and
other organizations for whatthey can get out

of it in the way of business, political prestige I

or social standing. Men who join the Rotary
Club with any such ambition in mind soon
learn that they are not wanted. A member’s
standing in the Rotary Club is gauged by the
amount of time and effort he is willing to ex-
pend in promoting the purposes of the, Club.

‘ 1n otherwords the Rotary Club idea is to give _
to get. Busy men, many of whom ‘

We have a common notion that the people of
the cities are inherently and essentially selﬁsh.
We have a notion that in the rush and swirl
of city life there is no time in which to think
of others and perform some kind deeds in their
behalf, but exceptions should be noted. Self-
lehness is not conﬁned to the cities. Every
human being is by nature selﬁsh. It requires
'e good deal of introspection, a good deal of
perseverance and a good deal of mental effort
to think in terms of others instead of terms of
Ielf. Not all the people of the country are
free from this common failing, though let it be
laid to the glory of the majority of country
folk that unselﬁshness and generosity are two
of their most outstanding traits. In Rotary
Clubs and like organizations in both country

and city the spirit of helpfulness can be fest-I

Storing Food Products

WRITER in the Rosenbaum Review ad-

vises farmers against storing food pro-
ducts at terminal markets. “Large suppli
at terminal points are always a bearish factor
on the market," he says. Mebbe so, mebbe so.
He might have added but he didn’t that large
supplies at terminal markets are always dis-
comforting to the speculators for they never
know what the owner of the supplies is going
to do.

The speculator who gambles on imaginary
holdings of grain does not want the actual
grain in sight. That is not according to the
rules of the game. Actual grain holdings rep-
resent something tangible which can be seen
and might raise the regular old nick with the
Ichemes of the speculators. To gamble sue;
eessfully on grain there must be no grain in
light. _An ideal speculative market is one in

describe in "an: the" 

     

opium of

 
 

p.
spective supply
and other intangible factor; '

Of course, as Aaron Sapim says, farmers _

are nothing but babies in this marketing game.
The real giants of the markets are the men who
have made their fortunes  in grain.
It may be revealing our. ignorance to even dis-
cuss the practice employed in the Chicago
grain pit, and perhaps we invite the ridicule
of. the grain gamblers as many others speaking
for the farmer have done when" we declare our
belief that the farmer should own both local
and terminal elevators and warehouses where
he may store his grain and his vegetables,
transporting them from one point to the other
as the weather, transportation and demand
seems to warrant. We have witnessed so many
times in the past a situation in which farmers
have held enormous stores of farm products
at local points while consumers at terminal
points have been almost entirely deprived of
them. The only way in our judgment that the
farmer can get any advantage from the fluc-
tuations of the markets is to have his goods
at consuming points ready to be put into the
channels of trade the moment the demand is
felt and the price offered is satisfactory.

Losses to Farmers
T HAS been estimated by the Farmers’
National Council that the declines in the
values of wheat, corn, potatoes, apples, cotton
and [beef cattle from July 1st to September
lst, represents a loss to the farmers of one and
three-quarter billion dollars. Price declines
since September lot will easily increase the

loss to two and one-half billions.

Here is food for thought, not alone for the.“

farmer but the nation at large. Can this
loss to the farmer be met without serious im-
pairment of the nation’s prosperity? In these

, days of trouble and reconstruction when the

bubbles of inflation are bursting and nothing
seems enduring, the world at large turns to
agriculture, the basic industry of all. When
the air castles of speculators and frenzied ﬁ-
nanciers tumble about their heads like a house
built of cards there is always relief and com-
fort in the thought that the ﬁrm hand of the
farmer will stay the catastrophe that impends

entitled and you take from agriculture 

taining power.

The farmers will feel keenly this huge loss
of potential revenue. The policyof the Fed-
eral Reserve banks as outlined by Secretary
of the Treasury Houston does not permit these
banks to make excessive loans for the purpose
of holding commodities for higher prices. , De-
mands from farmers for additional credit to
hold over their crops will meet with little re-
sponse from local banks which must discount
their notes with the Federal Reserve banks.
This means that a large majority of the farm-
ers will be obliged to sell their products in the
near future at prices which will spell actual
loss to them.

As the National Council points out, there in
danger in this sithation to the entire nation.
Agriculture has received many setbacks in re-
cent years but the worst of all is now impend-
ing. National safety demands that the farmers
be permitted to secure credit with the same
case as those who deal in their products or
those whose money is invested in other lines of
business. National safety demands that the
farmer be encouraged and assisted in every
possible way to weather the storm that is rag-
ing in the markets and threatened to devastate
the agricultural industry.

I saw some nice apples on a fruit stand in
Detroit the other day, and I asked the vendor
if they were Michigan apples. He hastened to

Against National Selﬂslmess

We talk of the Monroe Doctrine. We fear for
our independence. We dread a Superstate that
shall boss us. We denounce the Leaguers as
plotting to sacriﬁce our nationality. Can’t .we
stop to think about other nations? Don't we
realize, that every one of them is more Jealous of
its own national sovereignty than we are of ours?

. They have been trained for centuries in national

pride. And if they are Willing to give up a part
of their independence, for the sake of the limit—
lae advantages of cooperation, can not we?

Not even family life} is possible without mu—
tual concession, compromise and self—sacriﬁce;
how much less is world-life. the life of the Human

, family!

The League of Nations means Progress, Cour-

'- “e, Humanity, Opp sition to it means Reaction,

Oowardlc'e and Provincialism. Men who move
van and earth to keep America out of the
ague are far worse enemies to the race than
c Kaiser ever was. ‘
‘The League of Nations is not a far-off question,

one of politics and diplomacy that does not con-

oernyou and me. It is of most vital, individual
hportanco to every man, woman and child in

, a. united States. " —'-

must pay the taxes of war by their labor. No-
body proﬁts by war except proﬁteers.
Only Partisans Oppose It

The league is favored by the great majority of
Thinkers, by Philosophers, men in Universities
and Churches, by the American Federation of La—
bor, by Writers and by all who are concerned in
Public Welfare. It is opposed by one class only
.—the partisan politicians and those influenced
by them. ' '

The kind of Feelings that prompt us to enter
the League should be looked at and compared
with the kind of Feelings that oppose. The
League is idealistic, its opposition materialistic.
The League lmplies Optlmlsm, belief in human-
ity, conﬁdence n the honor of other nations; its
opposition implies Distrust, Suspicion, Hostility.
The League is in line with every Noble, Chival-
rous, Manly sentiment; its opposition is Captious,
Sheeting, Ungenerous. The League will promote
Race Understandings; its opposite, Race Hates.
The League spells Co-operatlon as a world pro-
gram; without the League there must be eternal
cut-throat Competition.

The League of Nations moves with the great
spiritual current of humanity. Every religion
except the ﬁerce heatheniems of national propa-
ganda. has dreamed of some sort of universal
peace to stop war, the most monstrous curse of
mankind. Christianity, J udelsm, Buddhism, Con-
fucianism, Bahalsm, all have had the dream.

If we do not join, what else can we do? Can
we stay out, and remain torever isolated from
the rest attic world? We have to do business
with other nations some way. If they are all in

sults will be the decrease of national
armaments. If there is no Lea‘uo
then We must clump back to the Old Order, every
nation armlng to the teeth, tax burdens increase
and wars occur with the regularity of hell’s clock
strokes.

And if we succeed in our noble experiment, if
we establish a League of Nations, and ll! we dis-
arm, think ot what we can do with the enorm-
ous surplus of wealth which the race ls constant-
ly piling up, and which heretofore has been burnt
up in powder! What enormous public works we
can undertake! What magniﬁcent programs of
education we can set forward among the earth's
backward populations! . What highways and
bridges, what parks and plaisances, what univer-
sities and temples, what vast commercial enter-
prises, what grandiose works tor the betterment

Does it mean nothing to you, business man,
that gigantic taxes may be enforced on you to
keep up a huge army and navy? Does it mean
nothing to you, workingman, that you may be
used as a pawn in the next game of bloody 1n-

dustry will always be subject to periodic de-
struction. .

It you are going to oppose the league, you;
must propose some other way to stop war.

Home Improvements

Letters :in, our “Home Improve-

,One reader tells how she has lighten-
ed her housework with the vacuum

very interestingly of a .v hydraulic
ram he constructed to bring running
water from a nearby stream to the
farm home. I feel that we are to
receive many more letters upon this
subject of home improvements and
I know they are going to be of tre—
mendous help to all our readers. You
have only a few days left in which
toget your letters in, so please
hurry. w

A number of my readers have re-
quested more suggestions for fancy—
work and I will try to get something
in along that line each week. Sug—
gestions of this nature are gladly
received. If there is some feature
which any reader desires added to
this department, please feel free to
suggest it and if possible it Will be
adopted.

FRESHENING UP YOUR
WARDROI‘E
U WILL ﬁnd that some of last
i season’s frocks are perfectly
good but lack the trim modish-
ness which we all like our clothes to

have. It really is not a difﬁcult mat-
ter to give the slight alterations and

inexpensive touches, which will
bring last year’s garments up-to-
date.

This season the blouse effect is
much worn, giving the long straight
lines which suggest youthful slend—
erness. If you are somewhat tired
of that white shirtwaist suit which
you have worn a couple of years, try
altering ,in this manner. Procure
one of the blouse patterns, ripe the
shirtwaist under the arms and cut
it off evenly at the waist, or even a
little above this. If there are marks
which Show where the waist line
used to be, lay the back (you will
not need to rip it all up) on the
blouse pattern, cut the additional
lower portion necessary to make it
iong enough. You can plan torjoin
this straight across with a little pip—
ing, or you can let the lower part
come up on the waist slightly in any
tailored design you desire.

Lengthen the front in ,the same
way. Join the seams, ﬁnish the bot—
tom and front and make a narrow
string belt which will tie, or a
broader belt which will fasten in
front. One young lady remodeled a
i-l-lit in this way using pique for the
lower portion of the blouse, and cuffs
a id collar and she had an attractive
suit. ' 

Another gown of foulard silk had
been worn two seasons and although
perfectly good, the owner tired of it.
It was changed entirely. in appear-
ance by taking the loose pocketed
panel off each side, putting in chiffon
sleeves short and flowing, and add-

of ‘the sleeves and a few other small
unbroken pieces saved. I The skirt
was of Copenhagen blue. A piece of
thin quality voile'of the same shade
with white ﬁgures in it, was found
and a long loose blouse made of-this.
The pieces saved from the old waist
were fashioned into a string belt
ﬁnished at the ends with blue and
white tassels. -When a sheer white
collar was added, a very effective cos-
tume was produced at a cost of less
than $3.50, as the owner of the dress
did the sewing herself, and although
she is employed daytimes she man-
aged to ﬁnish it in a few evenings.

In another instance an old white
ﬁgured crepe de chine which had
grown quite yellow was delicately
tinted a pale lavender with one of
the popular soap dyes. This gown
was freshened with net sleeves of
white with little embroidered dots,
put on the edge with lavender floss.
A sheer collar of the not with a bor—
der of dots made a really lovely gown;

what sunburned was given a dress-
ing of pale violet hat dye and from
some rich white silk ribbon flower
petals were made and laid flat upon
this hat crown. Then a few artiﬁ-
cial green leaves from old hat trim-
mings were added.~ The white silk
petals were fastened in place with
long stitches of pale rose floss and
under the brim a border of white
beads, also held in place with a pale
rose floss, were added. A touch of
black in the form of a string 6f; ‘jet
beads made a decidedly Frenchy
costume, the whole outlay for which
had been less than $2.00. 

- A Party Gown at Small Cost
A resourceful young woman who
wanted a dainty party gown for some
social affair, which she wished to at—
tend, found herself with exactly
$4.50 on hand to spend. This amount
seemedhopelessly meager in 'view of
4 what the other girls would have. She
knew she would have to make
the dress, but the $4.50 seem—
ed .so small for the materials and
she had nothing to fall back upon
except a pair of rather yellow white
canvas pumps. This is what she did.
First of all she visited a lace' cur—
tain department where she found a
single pair of soiled but ﬁne and
really handsome lace curtains, there
on account of their condition and
the fact that there was only one pair
remaining, had been marked down
to $2.50. The net was excellent and
the all over design dainty and the
edge ﬁrm. She took. these curtains
home, soaked them in cold water,
then. in luke warm water. This
treatment was followed by another
in warm soap suds, to which Borax
was added. The curtains were only
patted and squeezed—not wrung.
They were then rinsed, blued lightly
and put through a bath of thin
starch. After this they were care-
fully pinned down to sheets laid upon
.the carpet. She did not wish to ,use
curtain frames for fear of tearing
the edges or leaving pin holes, how—
ever, a neighbor told her afterwards
that had she put a sheet on the cur—
tain frame and adjusted them to the
’right size, she could have done. the
work quite as well and much easier.
Her next step was to purchase at

TO HELP RURAL COMMUNITY
RECREATION ,
N THE daily papers there recently
appeared a rather lengthy repori
-- of-a most able address“ made by
Mr. Frank B. White in which he
stated that “developing a commun-
ity spirit among the farmers of the
country is the greatest factor in keep-
ing boys on the farm.” ‘_ __~
It is also one of ‘the greatest
factors in making farming profitable
as well as farm life acceptable to,
both young and old. It' is highly ini—
portant that there be, ,as far as pos;
sible,_ trainedeorkersto. develop the
community spirit along the most uSe—
ful lines and yet farther, the' meth—
ods and the instruction that will
make all activities engendered’by a
community spirit intelligent and ef—
fective: This is especially true of
recreation, for, as Mr. White said
in his 'a dress, “it is or very great
importaﬂ e to provide entertainment
amusement and social advantages."
'The Drama League'of America is
ten years old, and it has worked ef-
fectively to develop workers and.~
publications that will, through Lin—
telligent effort, bring acceptable rec—
reation to the rural communities.
Its purposes are altogether philan-
thropic and its motto is “Service.”
No one connected with it ofﬁcially in
any way gets a cent of pay for his
time and labor.

’ ‘ you guessed the answer to the

conundrum in “Our Puzzle
. -Omner" last. week? I'll tell you what
:mor is. It is because it is
' "mtwo deters-umber.) Easy
wasn’t it? I. am giving you some
more this week and they are not. all
as easy. See how-many of them you
cant-ﬁgure out.

I complained lest week that I was
not receiving many letters and the
past, three or four days I. have been
receiving a. ﬁne lot. of them. Guess
nest of you were waiting for me to
oak you to write. Were you? If
any of. you haven’t joined our merry

. club tut pick up your pen and. write.»
me a. letter and you. belong. And
you boys and girls that have written
befooe should write again and again
because that is the only way we can
get acquainted. Get to writing to
some of the boys or girl!» "The
Childm’s Hour” by taking

on this page. You will make new
friends and have a lot of fun.

Many of the letters I have-receiv-
ed the last few days were about the
take. They are all so good: thus far
that i! all the rest that write about
some fair send as good letters or
ltoriel it will be hard to judge which
in the best and who should win the
prize. One little girl wrote that she
did not attend any fair this year but
,she liked to hear the girls and boys
at school talk about them. I be-
lieve that the greater share of you
attended one somewhere, but there
are many that could not for various
reasons and I’ll bet they are as anx-
ious to hear about them as thislit-
tle girl I just told you about. By
writing a letter or story to me about
what you saw when at the fair this
year you may make some little girl
or boy‘ happy and at the same time
you stand a chance of winning the
prize. Goodbye until next week.—
UNCLE NED.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned—41 am writing to you
again. Do you get tired of my letters?
If you do just holler and holler as loud
as you can so I'll hear you way over
here in Moncalm. 1 correspond with 4
boys and girls from the children’s page.
I’ll try my luck at the story about fair
day.

Well we got up bright and early one
bright fair day and packed a lunch and
away we went to the fair. We arrived
there after an 18 mile ride and then
we were ready for the sights. But there
was a crowd of us and one wanted to
See the dolls, and another wanted to see
elephants and each had a special thing
they wanted to see so we went in pairs.
,I Went with a girl and we wanted to
- win a doll so We tried until we were
tired and ﬁnally I got one. and then I
was too tired to carry it around. We
went on the ferris wheel and just as we
got to the top it stopped and it sto -
pad with such a jerk that It set all t

>  seats rocking. We got off when it came

time and then it was nearly noon so we
started out to look for the car. Just on
we got to the grove it started to rain-
We ran but of course we couldn't run
'away from the rain so we got wet. We
kept on looking for the car but we
couldn’t ﬁnd it. We looked for about
an hour, then we went back to the fa!!-
grounds and had a bottle at par and s
sandwich but that did not at sfy us, so:
we started our search for e car mill.

 ,Well after a little we found it and.

where we went past it all" the time.
afternoon passed and we bid I» very
good time.

Well boys and girls are your eyes led-
ting sore? I guess I used so many wells
in my letter that if I use another you’ll
tell me to fall in, won't you? I want to

The Jackson County Fair

The" day that I am speaking of in
Thursday, September 16, 1820..

We started about 8:30 a. m. Took our
dinner with us, of course, it was not
time to eat dinner when we got to the
fair grounds. We parked our car out in
the center of the race track and wale
back to the Automobile Building where
we saw lots of niCe cars, and there we
each bought a ticket on two Jackson
and three Briscoe‘ automobiles. We saw
a ﬁne display of vegebe which were
also in the Automobile Building. Up-
mire/m some consul fruit that was
canned by the Jackson County Canning
Club, which is made up of the children
of Jackson County and there were also
drawings and fancy work. From. there
we went out where the tractors were.
There were four different kinds of tract-
ors. We went from there to the Cattle
Building. There were a number of dif-
ferent kinds of cattle. They were
brushed until they shone. The horses
all looked ve nice. There were many
large ones, re. were many ﬁne sheep
and. hogs also. From there we went back
to the car, when we ate our dinner.
While We were eating our dinner some

friends came along looking for their car.
The woman said she thought they park-

ed their car in the third row back from-

the race track. When papa and: I had
ﬁnished our dinner we went to help them
ﬁnd their car and when we did was
in the: seventh. row back instead of the

third. .
Soon: utter we all went back to the
outside of the race track. Two girl

friends and I rode on the ferris Wheel
and then one of the girls and I walked
around the nee trad. The girl that
was with me won a half pound box of
candy and I won a pound box.

Later we went over and saw the dis-
play of poultry. turkeys, rabbits, doves,
skunks, muskrats, minks and red foxes.
vwhich was all very ﬁne We also saw

an aeroplane sailing around and turn-'

lug over and looping the loop.

As we were getting ready to come
home we went over and saw the Child-
ren’s Exhibit on stock and then we went
over where our car was. We were about
ﬁfteen minutes getting out of the center
giggle race track, We got home about

the markets for the very commodity
that the farmers had to haul home.

The investigations includes a long
list of truck growers names who
hauled products home. A Franklin

Park gardner took home sweet corn
because he could not get over 20
cents for a bag of four dozen.

On Monday, September 13, pro-
ducers received an average of 16
cents a dozen for sweet corn; on
Wednesday .8 cents, and on Friday
9 1—2 cents. The same three days
the average retail price at 25 stores

cents on Monday and 45 cents on
Wednesday and Friday. On these

PALMER REJECTS PACKER PLAN
' [Attorney General Palmer,— two
days after his return from New York
where he went to takecharge of the
investigation of the Wall Street
bomb explosion, ﬁled ,a petition in

"Federal District court opposing the

acceptance by the court of the Pack-
ers, petition—the so-called - Prince
Plan—for the disposal of the stock-
yards. This plan in brief was for
the sale of the yards, eleven in all,
to the F. H. Prince & Co. of Bos-
ton, a holding company under terms
and conditions which would permit
to packers to holdup to 49 per cent
of the stock in the holding company,
in pay for their holdings in yards
ﬁgured at par value plus 10 per cent.
The Attorney General opposes .this
on many grounds. One is that the
transaction would of itself be a vio-
lation of the anti-trust laws by per-

,mitting an authorizing F. H. Prince

& Co., to monopolize the stockyard
business of the nation. Another is
that the relationship known to exist
between F. H. Prince & Co., and
Armour & 00., make it objectionable.
Another is the experience of the gov-
ernment with F. H. Prince & Co., “in-
their organization of the Chicago
Stockyards Co. There are numerous
other grounds cited. The ﬁnal hear-
ing is to be October 7, in Federal-
District court, Washington.

All the farm organizations repre-
sented in Washington oppose accept-
ance of the Prince plan by the At-
torney General and the District
court as a substantial compliance
with the court decree requiring the
separation of the packers from the
stockyard business.

long been interested in the problem
of the Institute. He was one of the
delegates of this government at the
last meeting of the general assembly
and spent-much time then traveling
over Europeand studying agricultur-
al conditions. He went to «Europe in
I» September, 1918, as a member'of the

a study of agricultural'cOnditions in
the, allied 'countrie‘s: During his oe-
reer as an agricultural college men
he has served in" Illinois, Ohio, New
York,‘ Pennsylvania and California.
His wide knowledge of agricultural
conditions in America, coupled with
his extensive investigations in Eur-
ope, make him an exceptionally well-
'qualiﬁed man to represent the U. 8.

The International Institute of A3- .

gathering world statistics of crop
production and crop movement. The
United States Department of Agri-'

confer with the delegates from oth-

cotton after they are converted into
cloth or other manufactured articles,
and of variOus other staples. Until

countries supply this information, it
will never be possible to give’corroot

it possible for" the legislature to“

enact an eight hour law for men, as
we‘lilas for women and children, ac-
cordi-ng'to the state farm bureau.
lithe proposed amendment is to
Section 29 of Article 50! the State
constitution. The one particular
phrase which seems to‘ be so vital to
the manufacturers is that the legis-
lature may enact laws relative to the
hours and conditions of labor under
which “men, women and children
may be employed." The amendment
consists in the insertion ot.the word
“men‘s, I ‘

The manufacturers opinion of this
law as reported to the Farm Bureau
isthat it is not necessary to have
any legislation enacted covering the
hours that a man may work, that
in a great many caes the industries
and flabor unions have enforced a
short day, to the detriment of farm-
ers and that short hours have re-
sulted in many men leaving the
farms. A statement by the Michi—
gan Manufacturers’ Association says,
"If this Constitutional Amendment

‘ is adopted, it leaves the way open

for the radicals in the State ' of

Michigan to have the legislature

enact an eight hour day for men."

THE CONDENSABY SITUATION
I ANALYZED ,
The present predicament of the
condensed milk manufacturers and
also, though to a somewhat lesser
degree, manufacturers of evaporated
milk and milk powder both whole
and Tat—free, is or course due as pre-
dicted, to the rapid development of
this industry during the war and
thus stimulated, little consideration
Was given to the building of a do-
mestic and permanent market for
these, products, says H. D. Wendt,
Sec’y Michigan Allied Dairy Ass'n.
In consequence when war closed,
stocks began to accummulate very
rapidly and in direct proportion to
the slackening export demand. Pres-_
ent stocks involve practically the
peak of production costs. This is
especially true ‘with reference to
sweetened goods put up with high
priced sugar making it extremely
hazardous, with values tumbling as
at present, to continue operations
and until present stocks have been
reduced to a normal basis and values
again stabilized. ‘
Conditions mentioned in the pre-
ceding paragrraph affecting the con-
densed and evaporated milk and milk
powder industry will no doubt have
a psychological eifect on butter val-
ues aside from the general trend of
lower prices. Fall production of
butter is especially promising. This,
augmented by the raw material that
'has been going into the manufacture
of condensed, evaporated and powd-
ered goods along with the prospect
of heavier stocks and perhaps dimin-
ishing exports; and .with present
storage stocks slightly above the
last year average, would make
the future of the butter market seem
somewhat nervous to say the least.

exist in many localities in‘Whlchas
yet no outbreak has been noted, The
owner of hogs, which have not been
treated, who feels secure from hog
cholera infection is not over-conﬂ-
dent butvis quite likely to have an

, outbreak of cholera on'his farm that

will cost him ten times as much'as
the expenseof-vaccinating his hogs
for a lifetime. 'Breeders, who are
indulging themselves in feeling of
false security, should not'forget that
there are many infection carriers, at
large in the land, whose migrations
from one farm to another, cannot be
controlled nor guarded against, ex-
cept by immunization. ‘

According to the reperts made/by
state Ofﬁcials, in charge of the Work
of immunization, many of the recent
outbreaks of cholera, here in. ‘ this
state, are' untraceable'as far as de—
termining the source‘of the infection
is concerned; the inference is up}
avoidable, namely, that rats, cats,
dogs or birds muSt have brOughtvthge
germs from some distant farm, for
in many cases the outbreaks or th’
disease 'would be from ﬁve) to 2”
miles apart. ' There * ‘a‘r'e_ 'rsev'ers'l
elaborately advertised ; veterinary
preparations... which are recommeth
ed as sure preventatives against
cholera when they are fed to ‘ the
hogs accOrding to the directions that
are printed on the box. Many breed;-
ersers throughout the Unitedstat‘es,
who. haVe tried nostrums like those
described above and depended on

«them to keep their herds free from

disease, are, now sadder but wiser
men.
of this article, there is no way to
control hog cholera, except by im-
munization. . 1

Not many months since, the writ-
er was discussing the habits of hog
cholera with a prominent citizen of
Wayne county, 'Mich., and during the
discussion made remarks similar to
those that appear above. The gen-
_.t1eman with? WhOm he was talking,
said that he was then feeding 70
hogs garbage from Detroit and that
he kept them healthy by the abund-
ant use of charcoal; a serious out-
break of cholera has since occurred
and the owner found it necessary to
bury 35 ﬁne animals.

THE LAST ‘WORD .IN STATE FAIR
LIVESTOCK' . .

When everything has been said,
and we haVe become tired of talking
about_ fashionably bred Swine, we
come, back,‘ with pleasure, 'to that
wonderfully hardy and proliﬁc hog,

'it is true. of- cOurse, that under fil-

beauty of it “is that they look the

ing on the hooks. Experience has
proved that among hogs that are

HORSE APPEARS 35mm in non-
WARD was

I would like some information in re-
gard o a horse. When she is lying down
and a tempts to get up she raises up on
her‘ front feet and moves around side-
ways a little before getting up. When
she does stand up she is l humped up
and 'walke as though her front legs or
feet hurt her. She eats good.

I have a heifer that when she came
in last spring cast her weathers. For
a long time she! could not get up. She
seems to‘ be coming along all right now.
but I am afraid to keep her for fear she
will have the same trouble if she has
gaggle:- calf—Mr. G. A. W,, Bridgeman,

 

 

This is a case of Lamlnitis, or in-
flammation of the entire sensitive
structure of the feet. The trouble
is all in the feet and by tapping on
them lightly with a hammer. you will
observe how sore and sensitive they
are. You have a very bad case and
recovery depends, to a very great ex-
tent, upon how long, the case has
run; if she has only been affected
ifor a ’month or so recovery would
{be favorable; while on the other
hand, if the case has gone on for
several months, under. the best of
care and treatment recovery would
be slow and doubtful, and unless
the animal is young and reasonably
valuable I would advise you to put
her out of her misery. In very bad
cases we often get a condition
known as dropped sole; the sole be-
ing forced down by the intense in—
flammation. Not having‘stated how
long the case has run I will outline
treatment for both. If animal has
not been affected more than a month
or so poultice the feet with equal
parts of linseed meal and bran; pour
cold water on poultices two or three
times daily. Internally give one
dram of potassium Iodid three times
a. day, dissolved in a. little water.
If the case is of long standing use
the same treatment internally and
in place of the poultices thé mixture
given below is to be applied around
the top of the foot each day with a
stiff brush; keeping the applica-
tions up for two or three weeks.

Rx.—Tr. Can'thraides; Oil Caju-
put‘; Oil Terebinth, as. one dram;

Your cow has obsterlc-al paralysis
a. condition which follows only those
cases in which the calf is exceeding-
.ly large or a. long time in aifecting
delivery. It has been my experience
that paralysis in these cases will not
develop where the cow, if lying down
when delivery is affected, is immedi-
ately made to rise. Every means
must be used to get the animal upon
her feet at once and when. this has
been ‘done, someone should, remain
present to see to it that she remains
up for at, least ‘two hours, during
which time a little milk should be
giyen every twenty minutes. If the

'cow is on her feet when the calf'ls

delivered every effort should be made
to jk p\hér up for at least two
hBu'r ‘
every ten or, twenty minutes during
this time.

VOMITING

I would like to know what is the mat-
ter with mﬁebrood sow. She coughs and
vomits up r feed. Seems hard lt‘or her

\

.to swallow—8. D.. »~Wheelor, Mic

Vomiting is rather common in

\swine and is the result of stimula-

tion of the vomiting center, which is
located in the brain. This stimula-
tion may be direct from irritation to
the nerve center but more frequent-
ly from irritation from some por-
tion of the intestinal tract. Vomit-
ing is therefore a symptomof a va-
riety of disease conditions; it may be
caused by engorgement of the stom-
sch, nature having provided this
method of relieving an overloaded
stomach. Intestinal obstruction is
another frequent cause of vomiting
in swine as is also irritation of the
lining of the windpipe, and more es-
pecially the stomach, Worms also
cause suﬂicient irritation to produce
violent vomiting. Swine asea rule
vomit; the affected animal becomes
uneasy and restless. They extend
the head and depress the nose; the.~
abdominal muscles contract, and
the stomach contents are thus forc-
ed out. The vomited contents usual-
ly consists of particles of food mix-
ed with mucus, although it may be
composed entirely of thinyshiny mu—
cus. The expelled material may con-
tain intestinal as well as gastric con-
tents in cases where the vomiting is
caused by an overloaded or disor-
dered. stomach, wood charcoal should
be given .in from one to three tea.-
spoonfuls doses (according to the size
of the hog) in the feed twice daily.
If caused by worms no better treat:
ment can be given than one part
dried powdered sulphate of iron, one
part salt and six parts powdered gen-

,tion and give each one hundred pound

hog one half teaspoonful’in the feed
three ' times a week—Dr. W. Austi
Ewalt, veterinary editor. ‘

 

INTERNAL HEMORRHAGE

Will you please tell me through you?
Veterinary Department what ailed my
pig. It was a. June pig in’ good condi-
tion. Fed on milk, middlings and green
sweet corn. It ate its breakfast and
seemed smart but when I went to feed
the pigs at noon I found her breathing
nick and fast. Was up around, ate a

her death with blood coming out .of her
month. Also please tell me want to do

I could not say what caused the '
death of your pig; this could only be
determined by post-mortem. I might
say, however,.lt might have been
caused- by internal hemorrhage. ‘

 order trade has developed
recently and'brdkers are having a
hard time of it ﬁlling the orders
they have on hand. Farmers, who
own young hogs, are evidently com-
ing to, their senses} and will elect to
feed them out toga satisfactory ﬂn-
ish. An active demand for lard and
cured meats, from the other side of

 

the ocean is reported but the volume'

of domestic trade in hog products is
feeling the effects of unemployment
and other untoward inﬂuences. The
number of ﬁnished hogs, that  are
available for the current needs of
the fresh. meat trade are far below
requirements; the fact is, that the
hogs‘that should becoming now
were sent forward as pigs, earlier
in theiseason, the direct moving
cause being the high price at which
corn was selling.

Detroit Market Details

Detroit had a good cattle market,
all last week but on Monday of this
week, large arrivals of extremely
common cattle cut the foundation
from under prices and the mid-week
business was no better than condi-
tions that existed on the opening of
the month. One of. the most discour-
aging conditions, connected with the
Detroit cattle market of late, has
been the absence of buyers; the big
packers have been in the market for
cattle only at infrequent intervals of
late, leaving salesmen completely at

the mercy of the Hebrews, nearly all

of whom are noted for their close-
buying proclivities.

Veal calves continue in light sup-
ply in the Detroit market and pric—
es hold steady with a 19-dollar top.
Sheep and lambs sold well, early last
week,’but toward the close last
Thursday, a load of scabby sheep
was discovered and the sale. of
sheep and lambs, to go back to the
country, had to be discontinued; the
shippers of the diseased sheep in-
sisted that they thought they were
alright, but in spite of that sweeping
claim, they were made to pay the
of disinfecting the sheep yards. The
owners of diseased animals will ﬁnd
it cheaper to dispose of them in the
country by the very direct route of
death and burial, than to run the
risk 0! sending them to market. The
Detroit hog market has been playing
to better business, of later prices
paid on this week's opening day be-
ing nearly on.a level with Chicago.
Owing to the small number of hogs
ready to kill, a fairly steady trade is

looked for in this department for the I

remainder of the current month.

DETROIT PRODUCE MARKET
Wholesale Prices

The local poultry market is in a
very bad shape this week as a re—
sult of last week's over-supply in
this department, trade is very dull
and prices for the stale stock, still
on hand, are quoted sharply lower.
Not much demand was noted during
the early part of the week but, inas-
much as only small arrivals are ex-
pected this week , a fair clean-up is
looked for before Saturday night.
The market for calves and hogs is
dull and steady. Butter and eggs
are both active, the current supply
of the latter being far below the
needs of the trade. Tomatoes, are
practically out of the market. Pears
are scarce and higher; other fruits
and vegetables are dull and un-

changed.

In 'thelbarns‘   ames
equipped, - the, messages:
and Scarcity of labor isvmuch‘
less a problem; for James Equip-i

ment makes barn work easy‘.
James Equipment not only cuts
labor. in two, but .makes it possible
for children to do work that with-
out James labor—saving devices

would require a man’s strength;

chore time becomes almost play
time for boys who work in the barn.

Cleaning The Barn

The easy running James Carriers
turn the disagreeable, dirty task of
cleaning out the barn into a near-
pleasure. They make a boy’s job
of what used to be shirked by all—
and are an investment that pay
proﬁts of 25% or more a year in
labor saved. ,

James Scrapers make quick work
of cleaning cement ﬂoors; the James
Stanchions, with the James Align-
ment Device, keep the stalls and
cows clean, by aligning the cows at
the rear, so that manure falls in
the gutter and not on the platform.

Feeding The Cows

The easy way of feeding the
cows is the Jamesway—the James
Feed Truck or Feed Carrier, and
James Feed Mangers. Rolling eas-
ily along the track or on the cement
ﬂoor, the James Carrier or Truck
make unnecessary the ‘ lifting of
heavy baskets ﬁlled with feed. With
their big, roomy tubs they save
much walking to and from the feed
rooms, and in a short time pay for
themselves in labor saved.

. Watering The Cows

What a job this used to be in
winter time—keeping a ﬁre going
in the old time tank heater, or
breaking the ice in the tank so that
the cows could drink. ' > I

And how they hated to drink—
with. the north wind howling, the
snow or sleet driving, and the,
drinking water icy Cold. ‘

No wonder the milk yield dropped in'
winter time—for feed that should have,
goneto make the milk was used to warm‘
the cow, and the water needed to make
milk was never drunk. .

James Drinking Cups have changed-Al
that. A sanitary cup for each cow pro-

vides fresh water day‘and night. It flows -
in autqmatically .aS. .fastes the. cows. drink.
Water—the simplest means of increas—i
ing milk yields—is often disregarded by:
dairyltlen- Those, whomelize 11.0%: greatly?
milk ﬂow is increased by James Cups are:
reaping huge proﬁts on their investment;
Reports based on milk records of 28?
herds (739 cows) for instance, show an:
average increase per cow per day of 2.45}
lbs. This is 490'lbs:jin'200 "days, Which at;
$3.50 per cwt. totals:$17.15;r with a saving?

of $2.50 per cow in-~labor‘and' 55c in fuel.
That’s a proﬁt of 400% the ﬁrst'year.
