Canadian Farmers- to Pool andMarket Millions of Bushels of Wheat

IXTY THOUSAND farmers in

Western Canada are joining in a.

gigantic wheat marketing assoc-
iation to market cooperatively the
160,000,000 bushels of wheat produced
in the three prairie provinces of Man-
toba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
When organized, this will be the
most collosal cooperative marketing
enterprise ever attempted by farmers
anywhere.

The proposed plan of marketing,
which is fathered by the Canadian
Council of Agriculture, is based on
‘ the great cooperative organisations
in California, which last year mar-

keted over $225,000,000 worth of farm. 1

products in that state. The cardinal
' teatures include: .

‘1. The formation of a Wheat pool
into which all of the wheat produced
by the members of the association
will go. 'When this wheat is sold,
each “member will receive his share in
proportion to thsa amount at grain

his wheat to the association for each

cept the amount needed for seed and
feed. He will be required to pay
damages to the association it he sells
his wheat elsewhere. '

3. Utilization of the 660 farmer-
owned line elevators in Western Can-

4. Operations will not begin until
60 per cent of the wheat acreage of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
is pledged to the association, or about
10,000,000 acres. ’

The Canadian Council of Agricul-
ture which is composed of the repre-
sentatives of organized farmers in
three eastern and three western p10V'
inces, has assumed the responsibility
of pushing the proposed cooperative
marketing plan, and a committee or
the council is doing the preliminary
work of organization. The idea grew
out of the disappointment of the

. ture, appointed in

farmers because the Canadian gov-
ernment refused to continue the gov-
ernment wheat pool in 1919. Under
the operation of that pool, Canadian
farmers secured an average of 56
cents per bushel more for wheat than
did the farmers or the United States
for the crop of 1919. In the United
States that 55 cents went mostly to
those who bought the crop in the fall
and held for the rise in prices the
following winter and spring.

Since the government would not
continue the wheat pool, the Canad-
ian farmers resolved to "do the job
themselves” and thereupon set about
perfecting the ideas for a cooperative
pool upon a permanent basis. A_
committee of the Council of Agricul-
October, recom-
mended a preliminary plan to the
council on December 8, and this was
accepted subject to the approval 01

rural bankers the credit situa-
tion in Michigan .is somewhat
better than in states of the west.

' This information was secured thru

a questionnaire which was submit-
ted to all the rural bankers by this
publication for the purpose of ﬁnd—
ing out what difﬁculty if any they
were experiencing in meeting the
credit requirements of the farmers.

To the question, “Arevthe farmers.

of your locality satisﬁed with pre-,
veiling market prices,” only three
out of approximately three hundred
answered, “yes.” The rest said “no.”

To the question, "What crops if
any are the farmers of your locality
holding for higher prices,” all re-
plied that farmers were holding as
many of their crops as they could, in-
cluding beans. grains, potatoes and
other vegetables.

To the question, “Are many of
your farmers able to hold their crops
without assistance from the banks,"
the majority replied, “no.” The rest
estimated the percentage of farmers
abe to do this from 20 to 60 per
cent. '

To the question, “Are you having
any serious difﬁculty in meeting the
farmers’ necessary credit require-
ments.” only ten replied. “yes.” All
the others said. “no,” though some
admitted that unless some crops were

sold in the near future they might,

have to refuse loans to some of their
best farmers. Some bankers re-
plied, “There is not a trustworthy
and deserving farmer in this vicin-
ity who cannot secure what money
he needs to carry on his operations.”
Another, “We have not yet been
obliged to refuse a single good farm-
er a loan.” Another, “We have been
able to ﬁnance our farmers and ex—
pect to continue to do so.” Still an—
other banker up in Isabella county,
wrote, “We consider the farmers our
best customers. When times are
good for them they are good for us.

F How the. Bankers of Iowa showed their sympathy for the Farmers.

We feel under obligations to the
farmers in such times as these to
help ‘them realize the greatest pos—
sible proﬁt from their crops. Every
reasonable ﬁnancial assistance will
be given the farmers of this lorCality
during the present emergency."

\Vhat About Prcsmlt Situation?

The reports mentioned above were
received about six weeks ago. It is
likely that the situation has chang-
ed some since then, but probably not
for the better. In fact, from such
inforinationyas has been gathered
lately, a number of the banks in
strictly rural communities where
farmers are still holding the bulk of
their crops are tightening up on
their loans and calling in outside
loans. Whether this represents a
condition of actual stringency or is
merely a move in anticipation of
tighter conditions can only be sur-
mised. The fact remains, however,

that the number of complaints re-
ceived by THE BUSINESS FARMER on
account of inability to renew notes
or secure additional money have
been surprisingly small. . '
Diversiﬁed Crops
If the credit situation in Michigan
is so much better than in the west as
investigation seems to show, it can
only be accounted for by the great-
er diversity of crops in this state.

The majority of our farmers grow .

some crop or raise some other com-
modity in addition to the cash coin-
modity which enables them toget
along without sacriﬁcing their cash
crops. In many of the states of the
middle west, the sole crop is grain
and when the grain markets are in
abad way the farmers are hit heav-
ily. It is a signiﬁcant fact that in
such states as California'and New
York where agriculture is Widely di-
versiﬁed, the credit situation is far

other states. I
' The holding movement is nation-

wide.. It stretches from the Atlantic ,
Its contagion has ‘

-to‘, the Paciﬁc. a,
spread into Calnada. It7is the "re-
sult of hundreds of thousand of in-

'dividual cohvictions that the prices.
on farm crops hare been manipulati~
ed, and that on account of the, strong

statistical position of grains and
beans, ‘prices will be higher later on.
The decline in farm prices has cost
the farmers over ﬂye billion dollars.
,This loss has been-felt by every other

industry in the land. Ni-ne tenths of ‘

the present stagnation in business,

. of unemployment, of money string-

encyycan be directly traceable to
the great depreciation in the farm-
ers' purchasing power.

In such an emergency as this it"
would be the part of wisdom for‘

every interest in the country to speed.
all pending measures of relief to

stop the fall in farm commodity
prices and restore them to their
former levels. Every encourage—

ment should be given to the farmers
by the banking institutions of the
country to hold to their crops, for
the more crops that are. held from
the market, the sooner manipulation
will be destroyed, prices restored and
the way paved for orderly market-
In some'of the states
of the union the bankers have seen

the situation in its true light and_

have stood loyally by the farmers.
Out in Iowa the bankers called pub-
lic meetings to discuss the situation,
and as a result of these meetings
the farmers were mode to feel‘that
commercial Iowa would stand solid-
ly back of agricultural Iowa and
help the farmers through the pres-
ent crisis. Should conditions be-
come any worse in Michigan the ex-
ample set by Iowa bankers might
well be followed by Michigan bank-
ers with good results to all concern-
ed. »

is he to do that if he can't get pro-
duction costs out of his products?
Something is surely going wrong,
for the foundation of our national
structure is giving way. The entire
structure. is, in danger. Something
must be done before the foundation is
entirely destroyed or we will ﬁnd our—
selves in as great a predicament as
those other countries that we hear and
read about. Yes, the farmers are in-
deed patriotic. They are, themselves,
struggling, ﬁguring, organizing, in or-
der to overcome the approaching ca-
lamity, which is threatening and sure
to come, if some means of prevention
is not forth coming. But it is q-ues-

rtlonable if it can be averted without

government aid. It is a duty that
should be with the government, for’it
is the fou-ndatIOn upon which the gov-
ernment rests. ‘We are making. ap-
propriations for this and the other,

' pensions for our soldiers, etc., but

What of it If that pension could not

We must sooner or later-come to the

conclusion that our Wealth-i and power -

There is a remedy and it has been

pointed out to us forcibly recently and

for that matter, back several thousand
years, that we should be prepared and
how to supply the necessities of life, to
feed our people at least for "several
seasons of lean years.

We read in Genesis, Chap. 41—42, of
Joseph, the Israelite, who, interpreting
Pharaoh’s dream, that there were sev-
en lean years coming, after seven fat
years. Pharaoh took heed, instructed
his people to prO’luce and save in the
years of plenty. Thereby not only sav-
ing his owu people, but was able to
save surrounding countries from star-
vation.

What could we be doing now, if we
had adopted a policy of that kind for
the last few Years, with our Merchant
Marine and plenty of grain‘and pro-
vision. Those poor sufferers could
be saved and we would undoubtedly

.get good pay for. our products. Not

only that, but the Christian, humane
act of it, would be a great satisfac-
tion. ' .

making the tender; Or if the pur-
chaser of ten thousand bushels of

grain, the world markets for farm
products would soon become much
more stable and reliable. If the
farmers' organizations of this coun-
try szh to accomplish something in
the way of real market stabiliza-
tion, 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
he can actually pay for."

This was one of the ﬁrst shots
ﬁred in the campaign against the
flagrant abuses which are permitted
in connection with the option deal
on the Board of Trade and the man-
agers of this paper are delighted to
know that it hit the mark.

There are those who assert that

two institutions would soon cease to
exist. ,If a legitimate market can-
not be successfully operated without
a gambling appendage then let it

much behind the scenes in the op-
tion deal that is never mentioned by
those who hold a brief for these in-
stitutions. If every man of moder-
ate means, who has lost money buy-

ing and selling futures on grain and

accommodate the immense throng.
"There are many men of good aver-
age judgment who now consider the
deal in grain and provision futures
a useful and harmless thing but who

would change their mind in a twink-,

ling if they could get a good look at
all of the machinery that is utilized
in grinding the option grist.

The Modern Bucket Shop

It has been frequently 'said that
the Americans are a race of natural-
born gamblers; that there is a mod-
icum of truth in this statement can-
not successfully be denied. If the
above statement is true how has it
come about? There is no better way
to answer this question than to lift
the veil, for a moment and get a
glimpse of that great not work of pri-
vate wires, reaching from the Chi-
cago Board of Trade to every city
and village in this country having
a population of more than ten thous-
and; trace these wires and you will
find that they end in a miserable lit-
tle gambling hole, called by its
friends and proponents a brokerage
house or-a grain exchange. Men,
who are familiar with the business
methods practiced by the proprie,_
tors of these strictly up—to-date
“come—on" joints, have given them
the very suggestive and appropriate
name of “bucketmhop.” '

Why do men patronize bucket
shops is a very natural question to
ask but one that is not easy to ans-
wer satisfactorily to the reader, we

imagine. In the ﬁrst place, we must
reckon with that natural love for
gambling. The ambitious young man
grows weary trying to accumulate
money out of the pitifully small
amounts he can save out of his
meagre earnings during these days
of high cost of living. It is human
nature to follow the path of least
resistance. The easy going life of
the gambler during the short time
that it takes him to lose his money,
has a fascination for the young man
who has a burning desire to get
ahead in the world. He investigates
and when he finds how simple and
easy it all is he establishes a small
credit with a near-by broker who
thankfully accepts small favors. He.
gives his first order to buy or sell
wheat. * The die is. cast. After tak-
ing the first step our young friend
progresses rapidly until his money
is all gone. ‘

Again we fancy we hear someone
asking another question—“Why do
men never learn? ,They do learn
but not until their geod money is
gone. Now and then one of these
bucket strep dupes goes to work
again and saves his money until he
thinks that he has encugh to again
“buck the tiger;" the last mention-
ed kind are few and far between.
The option mill will not grind with
the water that is past any more
than will any other mill. ‘ The mod-
ern option broker does not expect
to have the privilege of fleecing a
man but once.
of fools. one of which is born every
minute, that can be relied on to

has never, produced one worthy, or
useful thing?  A pure and unadul-

more high hopes and broken more
hearts than" any other agency under
theshining sun. The averagejman
would lift his voice in indignant
protest against the contractor who
would be so criminally careless as to
leave a hole in the street for the un-
Wary night traveler to fall into. How

'much worse is it to grant easy ac-

cess to this,’the rankest game of
chance on earth.

In‘a former article it was pointed
out that deals on the Chicago Board
of Trade, proper. were usually made
in large committments like, 1,000
bushels of wheat, 500 tierces of
lard, 250 barrels of mess pork and
50,000 pounds of ribs. If the above
regulations were closely adhered to,
the wheat gamble would have 
little attraction for the man with
small means. You can buy as little
as you please in the average bucket
shop; they will sell you 100 bush-
els of wheat, 50 tiercee of lard and
1,000 pounds of ribs. Indeed, IO~

' man need be deprived of the privil-

ege oflosing his money in a bucket
shop because of the small size of his
pile. It is bad enough when a rich
man loses money. We all regret to
hear that any man who has had bad
luck; how much greater the feeling
of regret and indignation when we
learn that the little family savings,
that areneeded to ‘buy clothing, fuel
and other necessities of life, have
been absorbed by some gay knight
of the ticker, the tape and the black-
board. It is, the proper function of
the state to exercise control over
and to throw the mantle of protec-
tion around citizens who are alflict-
ed with some destructive mania. One
of the splendid achievements of our
federal banking system has been the
restraining influence which it has
exercised over its too venturesome
clients in preventing them from
rushing headlong into speculation.

I fancy I hear somebody asking
why visit the sins of the bucket shop
on the head of the Board of Trade.
The answer to the last question hing-
es upon the well known fact that
the Chicago Board of Trade in the
brooding mother of the entire list of
gambling devices that juggle with
grain. The bucket shop could not
run a day without the list of quota-
tlons sent out by the Board of
Trade; really now, after all has been
said by way of apology for the short-
comings of the smaller institution,
isn't the line of demarkation be—
tween the two rather indistinct?

EDITOR’S NOTE:

A recent investigation conduct-
ed among one thousand subscribers.
taken at random from the Business
Farmer's list shows that 8 per
cent of those -heard from bad elec-
tricity in their homeslw which was
either derived from‘a power line
or was generated by individual
plants. The successful electric
unit for the farm home is a com-
paratively recent thing and no
doubt as farmers learn the great
value and convenience of the
electric current. the percentage of
tiltsers will rapidly increaSe,—Ed-

or.

farm homes not only removes
drudgery but saves time and
moneyas well. The lime‘requized to
operate the churn, the separator, and
the washing machine, and to doathe
ironing, the cleaning with the vac-
uum cleaner, and the apumping'of
water has been reduced materially
in many cases. More time is made
available for other things and not
infrequently it has been, possible to
reduce the amount of hir d help.
An inquiry by one ﬁrm to obtain
the opinion of users of electricity on
the farm and in the home regarding
saving in time and money brought
reports from a total-of 67 persons.
Their average total saving by the
use of electricity was 201 hours per
week for all uses. This really
should be higher, since comparatively
few included the saving-in time due
' to the elimination of the cleaning of
lamps. An average of 2 3-4 hours
per week was shown as saved on
churning; 3.83 hours per week on
operating the separator; 4.46 hours
per week by not having lamps and
chimneys to clean; 3.52 hours per
week on doing the ironing; 10.31
hours per week on pumping water;
and 6.32 hours {per week saved on
other applications of electricity. The
average estimated value ‘of the time
saved ’was $33.80 per month. This
was realized by the employment of
less hired help in some instances; in
others by the release of labor for

ELECTRIC light and power in

other work, while in some cases the V

value of the time saved was esti-
mated at from 20 to 40 cents per
*hour.

To-day as never before 'is the need
of labor-saving devices in the home
being felt. The servant problem 'is
rapidly becoming more serious. The
increasing wages of household ser-
vants and washerwomen are ap-
preachingsa point which the family
of average means can not meet. Thru
electricity, the tireless servant, is
perhaps to, be found the solution.
.Washing and ironing machines for
household use, electric dishwashers,
vacuum cleaners, toasters, ranges,
and the whole series of electrical
household specialties for use in the
city and in farm homes where elec-
tricity is available certainly have

brought relief to many and are only ,

waiting to be called upon by many
others. .
Comparativer few of our farm
homes to-day- have electricity avails

creasing rapidly, OWing principally ‘to

Where

. f a r m
homes are supplied with electricity
from transmission lines, central sita-
tions or farm hydro-electric plants
taking current direct from generator,
it is usually supplied at 110 to 115
volts. Windmill electric plants may
be of this voltage, but on account of
the relatively high battery invest-
men-t they are more likely to be of
the 30 to 32 volt type. The engine-
driven farm lighting and power
plants, which are multiplying rapid-
ly at present, are mostly of the 32-
vol-t type; many of the. companies
supply these plants operating at 110
volts also.

Uses
The uses for electricity, or the
tasks to which it can be «applied

about the farm home, are almost un-
limited. The man who may install it
primarily for lighting will soon ﬁnd
himself applying it to other tasks,
and as he begins to see what it can
do for him and the multiplicity

of its usefulness becomes ap—
parent he will realize how
electricity is each day les-
sening his labors and mak-
ing this old.wor1d a happier
and better place‘ in which
to live.

The ﬁrst thought of elec—
tricity is usually for light—
ing, and this is not improp-
er. But it should not be
overlooked as a source of
power. It was not so long
ago that, with the exception
of water power and the
steam engine for the heav-
ier work, the farm was with-
out motive power and thus
hand labor was not elimin-
ated on the farm as it was
in the city and in the indus-

trial world. In recent years great
strides have been made. Mechanical
milking is now a reality and with it
a reduction in hired help.

The utility motor adapts itself
wonderfully to a number of- uses,
thus saving the expense of installing

a separate motor for each job. Sev-
eral types are available. Sometimes
a support rod is attached to the

motor base to steady it when in op-
eration. This is a desirable asset.
Then there are the many tasks
of the kitchen where a little motor
can do in but a fraction of the time
consumed by hand work, jobs that,
though not particularly tiresome, are
nevertheless irksome; such as grind—
ing meat and coffee, stuffing sausage
mixing bread or sharpening knives.

The electric range will be better
appreciated as its advantages become
better known and will be used where
electric plants of sufﬁcient size to op-
erate a range are available. Many
heating units such as table utensils,

ﬁreless cookers, water heaters, grid- -

dles and others, are already in use
and are proving themselveslto be
desirable under different conditions.

\Viring Plans for the Home

In building or purchasing a home
it is desirable to incorporate in its
construction or furnishings all such
features as will insure maximum
comfort and convenience. Electric-
ity aids materially in supplying these

features, particularly if care and
thought are given to laying out the
system. ' '

It is no doubt true that many

builders of homes delay the Wiring
of their houses until after they are
built. Probably this tendency is
more pronounced in rural districts
than in cities. This may be because
they are not quite convinced that
electrical devices will supply' the
comforts and conveniences attributed
to them. Or perhaps they may be
under the impression that a haphaz-
ard system of wiring that can be in-
stalled cheaply with no provision for
the future needs will be just as set--
isfactory. Sooner or later this will
give reason for complaint. Especial—
ly will this be the case where electric
lights and heating devices are used
on the same outlets. To be obliged
to unscrew a lamp from a socket
screw in a plug for a heating device,
and when through using it, unscrew
the plug and replace the lamp will
offset much of the convenience
which the electric heating unit of-
fers. Perhaps no better example
could be mentioned than the neces-
sity of using the baby milk warmer
at night in a room equipped with but;
one electric light.

Where it is intended to use elec-
tricity for lighting and for various
devices for heating and cooking, the‘
arrangement of the electric circuits
should be carefully considered.

The wiring of houses for electric
heating devices can be classed under
three general plans. They differ
principally in cost of installation.
The ﬁrst plan is the most complete.
It comprises separate heater circuits
to the different rooms all radiating
from a single location and measured
in another meter than that used for
lighting. This system is the most
expensive and is applicable principal-
ly to those houses for which electric
current is purchased from a high-
tension transmission line or central
station company. The second plan
combines the use of lighting circuits
and «a separately metered, heavier

. Wired circuit from which current can

be drawn for the operation of a least
the larger cooking utensils. This
system also generally presupposes

the purchase of current, but is also ,5
‘ applicable to such houses as may be ‘

plants. The third system is the simpf
lest and comes nearest to being in.

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW

CHRISTMAS message was giv-
Aen out by some of the leading

ﬁnance chiefs of America that
,had'much of optimism in it for the
hm future of the country. Boc-
ratary of the U. 8. Treasury, Bons-
hn, Governor Harding, of the Fed-
eral Reserve Board and Comptroller
of the Currency, Williams, all assert
ﬂat the banking business of the
country is on a sound basis and that
acre is now absolutely no danger of
a ﬁnancial panic. Regret is express-
ed over the failure of a number of
greater-n banks, directly due to re-
adinstment in connection with agri~
cultural loans. The tremendous
shrinkage in security values is con-
sidered a regretable thing but one
that had to come before the evils of
proﬁteering and unreasonable inflaa
tion could be abolished.

The labor situation is considered
the most serious and distressing of
all of the conditions that have fol-
lowed in the wake of the big war
but even that is not considered an
unmixed evil; it certainly seems that
nothing but absolute stoppage of
the wheels of industry'would have

brought organized labor to realize,

that even the laboring man must take
part in the great undertaking of re-
adjustment. Frequent reports of
drastic wage reductions are heard of
late and employers nearly all agree
that average efﬁciency among em-
ployee is fully 20 per cent higher
than it was six months ago. The
really hard part of the wage situa-
tion has to do with the fact that
many of the necessaries of life have
_not‘ been reduced in price to the
level of the laboring man‘s purchas-
ing power which reduced wages
suggest. v
V The outlook of the farmer is
greatly improved since last week’s
issue of this paper; from every side
we hear reports of increased interest
being taken by dealers in nearly all
kinds of farm products and the more
intelligent and progressive, in the
ranks of the great American agri-
cultural army, are conﬁdent that the
future has better things in store for
the farmer than those that came his
way during the recent weeks. At
this writing there is little prospect
that the Fordney emergency farm
bill will ever become a law because
of the opposition of President Wil-
son, but recent voting alignment, 011
the side of agriculture in both the
senate and house, is considered a
good omen by the tiller of the soil
and he is taking heart again in right
good earnest. a

The passing of the last week in
the year, 1920, sees general business
at the lowest ebb that has been
known for many years and the out-
look for anything like immediate re-
vival seems still to be rather remote.
The current bear campaign against
legitimate securities must be re-
garded as the most successful short-
selling movement ever known in the
history of Wall Street. Recent ses-
sions of the New York Stock Ex-
change have resembled an ordinary

shei'iﬂ’s sale rather than the well-
ordered businesa of a great security
market. The terrible slaughter of
legitimate values, which occurred in
last week’s stock market, was the re-
sult of dire necessity on' the part of
owners who had to have money to
meet income and other taxes already
some time overdue. Many of these
men had hoped to get money from
other sources but, meeting with dis-
appointment at the last moment, had
no other alternative than to make a
sacriﬁce. Five industrial issues
have shrunken in value, since the
recent 1920 peak price, 'more than
one billion dollars. -It is a notable
fact that the issues that have under-
gone this tremendous shrinkage in

value, only a short time since, were -

given credit for having the most en-
couraging outlook of any group of
stocks in the entire industrial list;
in recent trading in these stocks, no
account has been made of intrinsic
values as represented byugood will,
building and machinery equipment
and many other tangible assets which
at any other time would have been
regarded as of great value. Stu-
dents of stock market movements
see the need as never before of some
sort of control or limitation by which
to regulate short-selling campaigns.
The Wall Street gang has always
been prone to carry things to un-
warranted extremes bnt this year
they ,have gone farther and resorted
to more unheard-of methods to scale
down prices than ever before. In
the situation as it will stand on the
beginning of the new year, there is
very little in the way of encourage-
ment for the men who have devoted
their time and risked their good
money in the establishment of enter-
prises which convert raw material
into ﬁnished product and, incidental-
ly, give to thousands of industrious
laboring men a way to make a. liveli-
hood. Flfty industrial issues, which
are hated on the New York Stock Ex-
change, computed on a bails of pres-
ent selling values, show a loss from
former top prices of more than $2,-
500,000.000. "

every appearance 0! a holiday deal
with not enough activity to establish
quotable values. The principal bull
argument, just now, is a. decrease in
the visible supply of 2,185,000 bush-

taken a holiday and the domestic
demand for milling purposes is far
from normal, when compared with
that of other years. Flour salesmen
report a comparatively small de-
mand. A revival in export demand
is looked for with the turn of the
year and higher prices for this cereal.

The current crop movement seems
to be the controlling influence in the
corn market and prices for the new
grain are easing of]! as the result of
an increase in the visible supply.
Eastern markets report a slack de-
mand for corn and, for the moment,
the deal looks decidedly weak. Pro-
ducers badly in need of meney for
tax-paying purposes, are selling any-
thing that is saleable, hence the in-
crease in the visible supply of corn.

The Detroit hay market is quiet
and featureless. Demand is slack
and the current receipts are ample
to meet the needs of the trade. Bos—
ton reports a lack of hay but all oth-
er markets are well supplied and de-
cidedly dull. ~. The recent increase 1n
freight rates have had much to do
with the small movement of hay:. a
straw,- that may be taken as an m-
dication as to which. way the wmd is
blowing in freight transportation
circles, is the'announcement, that
the Union Paciﬁc Railroad Co. have
reduced the freight on alfalfa hay
and alfalfa meal, from Idaho east to
the Missouri river; the rate that re-
cently went into effect was $15 per
ton. The new emergency. rate, which
will soon be published is $10 per ton.

While for many 'months. it has
i‘ amid that there was really no mor-

' ; ket for wool, a close se'rutiny- of the v
__ ' trade of the past month will show a

much mere liberal movement than
was looked for. Rumors of purchas-
’espmade‘ in foreign countries for Am-
nerican account, come to hand from
time to time, Indicating that both
speculators and manufdcturers are
looking for' an early revival in this
branch of trade. The wpols that
“are moving at this time are mostly
of low grade and it is needless to say
that they "are selling for bargain-4

counter prices but sales are really.

being made and there is some com-
fort for the grower in that fact. Low
grade wools are selling for from 15
to 17 cents per pound. Wools of
medium «value 25 to 30 and the bet-

ter grades from 40 to 50 cents per‘

. pound.

Under reduced arrivals during‘the
past week the cattle trade is show-
ing greater activity and prices are
gradually working higher. The cat-
tle market of. this“country.has been
going  bad to worse,- all the
ma,- but the time has come for a
change and cattle brokers are
(uietly annexiug‘everything in sight
that will bleed. To many, the course
of the cattle market during the last
‘0 days is not understandable but to
the» close student of conditions that
tenderly and surround the deal, the
reasons for the antics the trade has
out are obvious. In the ﬁrst place,
the avalanche of common cattle
which, for many weeks, has literally
smothered the trade and sent prices
down to zero, started as a result of
tight money. Banks, badly in need
of money, called cattle loans and the
men caught in the squeeze sent their
cattle to market by the trainload;
good, bad and indifferent they cod-
tinued to come until every cooler in
the country whs full to the-door with
very little hope of being able to
make a clearance. '

Financial conditions, that caused
the market to be swamped with cat-
tie,‘ very soon, began to affect 'the
purchasing power of consumer and
the volume of consumption, the coun-
try over, was cut in two in the mid—
dle: then, as if what has been recited
was not enough, a new element was
in. the form of a greatly increased
freight rate, was injected into the
deal. While the tremendous increase
in carrying charges modiﬁes the cur-
rent cattle trade in many ways, the
most important bearing that it has is
in connection with
stockers and feeders. Finished cat-
tie go to market and for the most
’part they only pay one freight one
way but feeders must pay their way

 

into market and back to the country. 7

The result of this condition of af-
fairs has been to interrupt and «al-
most completely nullify the feeding
' cattle trade of the country. The an-
imals, which under other conditions
would have gone back to t-he coun-
try, were sold to killers, thus great-
ly augmenting the supply of com-
mon dressed beef and causing prices
to decline to a level much below pre—
war schedules. Another factor,
which has helped to depress, beef
value of late has been the low prices
at which fresh pork was selling.
When pork is selling on a parity
with beef theformer always. receiv~
es the preference. As noted at the
beginning of this article, the scene,
at last. is changing and a marked im-

provement. in the demand for beef is

noted. There is reason to believe
that the big cattle runs are about
over for the present and that with
the advent of permanently _' colder
weather, consumption records will
go up. Hardly more than one—third
7_ of the range cattle are comingvthat
usually show up at thiscseason of the
year. There is also good reason to
beliefs that other fresh meats ‘will
 loss plentiful and cheap during
. the next 30 days. ("In connection with

ofga glut of frozen meat being dump-
ed into the country and a complete
lack of demand for wool. Recent ar-
rivals have been large, it is true,
but had conditions been normal, the
size of these receipts would not have
caused any such slump in market
values as we have had this fall. Bad
business cond’itions’and plenty. of
cheap/beef and veal have also per-
formed their part in breaking the
market. Wpol is beginning to-
move and rumor has it that the froz-
en stuff is not giving as good satis—
faction «as formerly.‘ Should .Cong-
rose pass the emergency farmers’ re-
lief bill, sheep raisers will see better
times than they have known during
the last six months.
Live Hogs and Provisions .
There is good reason to believe
that the predictions of 8-dollar hogs
in Chicago will hardly come true
this year. Whenever hogs stop com-
ing from surrounding districts, into
eastern markets, the competition for
arrivals iii-western markets will in~
crease and prices will go up. The
weather is, Just now, favorable to.
the consumption of pork and pork
products and the decrease in fresh
meat supplies, in other branches of
the trade, is helping to stiffen pork
prices. A marked increase in con-
sumption and in dailyinquiry for all
kinds of hog products are beginning
to have a favorable effect on market
conditions.

MAGK‘S NOTES
Reports from all of the leading live
stock markets of the country, reveal

. a stagnation in the demand for milch
simultaneous with the above r'

cows;
information comes the statement that
more milkers are pressing on the mar-
ket for sale than at any preceding
date during the last ten years. The
closing down of creameries and con-
“densaries in all parts of the country
has well-nigh demoralized the milk
trade. ‘

Something over two-thirds. of the
overcoatings being sold at auction for
the American Woolen Company at its
salesroom was disposed of when the
second day of the woolen goods auc-
tio ended on Dec; 16. Prices ob-
tain dig at the sale have averaged
about‘GO per-cent under this season’s
opening prices, which were promul-
gated last January. Considering the
disturbance in the; woolen market
since that time such-a reduction. is
not n53 severe as it appears to be on
the surface. .

WASHINGTON, D. 0., January L
1921.—-Durinx ﬁrst part of week cen-
tering on January 12, a. great warm
wave, coming from that cold north-
ern country of Alaska, will cover all
the Northern Rockies. Within two
days it will cover all the Rookies to
the Mexican line and all the lowlands
east of Meridian 90 and the Mississ-
ippi River and south to the Gulf of
Mexico, It will -move southeastward,
covering the Great Lakes and south
to Cuba, by January 14, and then
northeastward. covering all the east-
ern sections. Following, a day or
two behind this great warm wave,
will come a. moderate storm wave and
behind that a moderate cool wave.
This disturbance will have great en-
ergies, which will be expended in
causing warm weather, and the heat
will hold the moisture, so that a mod-
erate amount of precipitation, only,
may be expected with but little snow
even in northern sections. These

Two very important weather fea-
tures are, the severe storms and the
locality from which comes our moor

amounts of precipitation, only. when
the atmosphere is full of moxsture;
excessive moisture in the atmosphere
occurs only when the ev porated sea.

W. E. Scripps, owner and propri-
etor of the Wildwood Stock Farm,
Orion, Mich, is also the lucky owner
of Edgar of Dalmeny one of the best
Aberdeen Angus bulls that ever set
foot in America ; this bull is the sire
of the cross-bred heifer, Blue Bell,
that was made the champion fat bul-
lock of the Fat Stock Show, recently
held at Birmingham, England. This
wonderful heifer won ﬁrst at Smith-
ileld, last year, being then only one
year old.

As usual, at this season of the
year, heavy lambs are meeting with
discrimination. Choice, light yearl-
ings are in much better demand than
heavy lambs. It is were not for the
big supply 'of frozen mutton and lamb
already in the country awaiting dis-
tribution, the trade in dressed. mut-
ton and lamb would be decidedly ac-
tive. Johnny Bull showed good judg-
ment by sending his frozen stuff this
year; he may not get another chance
for a while.

.1an MS SALARY

Will you please inform your readers or
the amount of salary Mr. John Ketcham,
president ‘of the National Beet Growers’
Assn, master of the State Grange and
lecturer of the National Grange, receives

from those' positions—S, M, 1-1., Hender- _
son. Mich.

M“ . , 0
I’m almost ashamed to tell you
what a'mlserly pittance the farmers
pay the men who are ﬁghting their .
battles. Up. to the preSent year Mr.
Ketch‘am received $1,500 per year as
master of the state grunge, and $400
per year as lecturer ot the National.
Grange. This year the State Grange
salary was $2,000 "and the National

' Grange $500, and a per diem of four

dollars per day for actual service in
the ﬁeld. The sugar beet growers pay
no salary in Michigan and up to last
year his expenses in this work were
paid by the State Grange. Last year
the beet growers took care of the ex-
pense. The National Beet Growers'
Ass’n pays no salaries whatever, it
being a new organization without a.
deﬁnite source of revenue. Well,
John has no bad habits. He doesn’t
smoke or drink or play the ponies, lil-
though I am told ,he occasionally chews
gum, but even granting him that
slight extravagance, he ought to be
able to get along on such a muniﬂcent
salary by patching up his old suits
and making his linen duster do for
winter wear. It is a reproach upon
the farmers that they permit their
leaders to struggle along on such a
niggardly salary. The work that
John Ketcham, as well as many other
farm leaders, has done for the cause
of agriculture, cannot be measured in
dollars and cents. They ought to be
rewarded better. No man who gives
the best of his abilities to farm or-
ganization work should be expected.
to work for a penny less than $5,000
a year, and in most cases he can get
double that amount in any other ﬁeld
of activity—Editor.

REPAIRING HIGHWAY

We have a piece of road of about three
miles that has needed repairs for years. I
have lived here for 25 years and it'ls the
same as it was 25 years ago, Some of
the brush needs cutting in order to be
able to see a car coming at any distance
and if you would meet a car in a good
many places they wouldn't even be able
to pass. We have complained to our
township board, but they will not do any-
thing on it that will last. They once in
a. while do a little patching up on it
which only lasts; far a few days. Would
it do any good to write to our State
Highway Commissioner and if so_what
is his address? If not, who could we
write to that would do something? How
or what could we do to make our town-
ship board do something?—-—Mrs. P. M.,
Vulcan. Mich. '

The control of the highways and
the repairs and the improvements to '
be on the highway are almost whol-
ly with the highway commissioner
and town board. All I can advise is
to see that persons are elected to
ofﬁce who will attend to your road.
If it is a tight vote in your township
vote for the manwho will ﬁx your
road—W. E. Brown, legal editor.

REFUSE LIME TO SWEETEN SOIL

I would like to know if the refuse
lime from sugar factories would be al-
right to put on the land to sweeten it,—
J. S., Kawkawlin, Mich.

The refuse lime from sugar fact-
ories usually bears a high carbonate
content and is a good product to use
if such can be obtained at a reason-
able ﬁgure. The greatest drawback
to the use of this form of agricultur-
al lime is the labor of applying. Like
marl it is in a putty state when wet
and cloddy when dry—G. M. Gran-
tham, Research Assoc-totem Soils, M.
A. 0. .

WATERPROOF BASEMENT

I would like to ask through your Pap-
er if a basement can be success ully
built under a house where there is no
drainage. Is there any way to hold
water out? Would like to hear from
someone that has had. experience—n.1, '1‘,
Yale: Mich, - '

There have been a numbergotxat- _
tempts to make waterproof base-

cover this 6 inch floor with tar pa-
per, which is made to overlap ' and
_Which is mopped thoroughly at the

lace-with hot asphalt. Special at-
tention should also be given ‘to ﬁlling
the corners or the joints of the floor
with the walls after the ‘ asphalt
treatment is given, then an addition-
al thickness of floor of one inch‘or
more can be laid. This places water;
proof membrane in the floor which
will aid in preventing water coming
through, in case cracks develop due
to settling of the ﬂoor or trim! other
'causes. Concrete for this construc-
tion should be placed semi-fluid and
thoroughly worked in place as it is
being poured—H. H. 'Musselman,
Professor Form Mechanics, M. A. 0.

 

GETTING. ‘CLEAR TITLE

A party here wished to sell a‘ahouse.
We gave him 20 dollars to bind the bar-
gain. He would not give, an abstract,
only paying or agreeing to pay $800.00
for same at $50 every six months with
interest at 7 per cent, with $200 down,
We are going to get the abstract our-
selves or pay for same, The party gave
a warrantee deed as the house was an
estate and was settled up in court, and
he thought that was title enough. 'Now
he seemed to want to rush the sale so the
banker told us to deposit the first pay-
ment of $200 and he would hold it and
if the title was all right that I could or
he would give it to him. ‘He also made
out the mortgage and I signedrit, but my
husband did not. It is to‘ be a joint
deed. I told the banker I was not going
to hrnd over anything until I knew the
title was right. Now if this house
should burn, would we be holding for it?
(The owner holds $400 insurance.) Can

- they hod me or can I go to thebank and

say I want the miney, and call the deal
off? Does property going through court
in settling an estate make the title clear?
—C. B. V., 'Macomb County, Mich.

The “going through court,” by
which you probably mean that it
was a part of the estate administer-
ed in probate ,court,'would not give
any better title that the deceased
person had. If he had a defective”
title or had mortgaged it the settle-
ment in probate court would not
clear the title nor remove the mort-
gage, nor would the administrator
be liable. You might call the deal
off: but, unless you had a good reason
fer refusal to complete the bargain
you would probably loose what you
have voluntarily paid. The Register
of Deeds does not have to make ob-

stracts and should he make one for '

you would' have to pay' him for it,
unless you have some special ar-
rangement in your county. If he
does not make it promptly for you.
you can go to the abstract company
and say that you want it at once
if they will make it at once and oth-
erwise you won’t have it . I think
they can ﬁnd time to make it. Un-
less your county has arranged other-
wise, the making of abstracts. is a
private business but our banker will
know the rule—W. E. Brown, legal
ed/itor.

ROAD COMPLAINT

Will you be so kind as to tell me to
whom we should address a letter to
Washington. D. 0.. in sending a petition
in regard to a. road that we want grav-
eled. The road in this case is a road
that is very much used and not a by-

ter. You should ﬁrst. consult the

COLLECTING NOTE

We Would be glad to Know how ion
a note can run before we can collect
without renewing it? We have a note
which has run for eight years and the

lawyer says we can collect it but we don't '

‘hink so.—D, K., Traverse City, Mich.

A note does not outlaw until six
years after the last payment, or six
years after it was due, if no pay-
ments have been made. A promise
to pay the note would be good and
renew it six years after the promise
to-pay. The date of thenote is not
used to determine when it outlaws
and your attorney may be right if he
tells you it is in force. The defense
that a note is outlawed is a special
one and must be pleaded.
should be sued on what appears to
be an outlawed note and he should
not appear and plead the statute of
limitations, or if he appeared and did
not plead the statute of limitations

ASSESSING PROPERTY

Can a supervisor sit in his chair at
home or drive by a. man's farm and as-
sess his personal property without 'ever
seeing same? Does the law require him
to call and assess a man in person? Can
he assess by looking at previous assess-
ment?—R, A. S., Fremont, Mich.

Sec. 4012, C. L. 1915, makes it
the duty of the supervisor to require
ever person whom he believes has
property liable for taxes to make out
a written statement, under oath, of
all of the. taxable property of such
person. The supreme court held
that it was not necessary to visit each'
taxpayer to obtain the list but he
might mall.them to such persons
with notice to spear before and ver-
ify the same. An assessment made

I. ABOLISH SHERIFF’S OFFICE

HAVE been much interested in

the discussion going on about the
_ State Constabulary. It seems to
me that this discussion ought to be
carried on on the theory that sincer-
ity and honesty of conviction is not
monopolized by any one particular

journal of body or man.
,I havemade considerable study of a

money. We have had. a man serv~
ing in this county for four years who
can-not read or write English and
who has been riding around in a
carthat is just now replevined from
him on the ground that the car was
stolen. There were enough of ear
marks around the purchase of the
car to put every reasonable person
on the inquiry.

Certainly the coroner‘s ofﬁce is
out ofdate- as is also that of county
surveyor. Any .big business today
carrying on the aﬂairs of any one of
the county would abolish at least
these three" ofﬁces and .put something
more‘eﬁ‘icient in their place. '

This phase of the question you do
not seem to recognize in your dis-
cussion pertaining to the constable
lary- The censtabulary is a step in
the right direction. It may not be

~ as efﬁcient at present as it should

“be; but it should be along the line 'of
refo'rminggit rather than abolishing,
it and the sheriff’s office should be
abolished. I believe if that line of
thought was kept in mind in the dis-
cussion certainly the discussion would
not degenerate into one of animos—
ity and the idea that honesty and
sincerity of the discussion of the mat-
ter can only be on one side—J. W. B’.,
Iron County.

It makes no difference to us which
institution is retained, the sheriff’s ofﬁce
or the state police, We do not need
them both. But since the sheriff is one
of our oldest law enforcing ofﬁcers, it
has been our thought that the laxness
which has grown up in his office should
be remedied, and he be compelled to en-
force the law according to his oath of
office. A resident law oﬁicer, if honest
and diligent in the performance of his
duties, should be a~ greater power in
maintaining respect for the law,

CITY SHOULD CARE FOR CHILD-
REN NEEDING MILK

0 THE Editor: In a newspaper

account of a meeting" of the
““Michigan Milk Commission held
in October, is a statement by Mrs. L.
Hiékey,‘ chairman of the social relief
committee of the Detroit -Review
Club who asks that the milk com-
mission keep down»the price of milk
for the sake of the poor kiddies of
the city. Mrs. Hickey is quOted as
making the statement that f—"By ob-
servation in my work in the slums
I ﬁnd that the poor children are in
need of milk. They cannot be given
this necessity of life if the price is
raised." -

There is no doubt whatever that
the peer children of the city need
milk, even perhaps more than the
children of the rich or _middle class
who are able to obtain a variety of
foods, but in my opinion Mrs. Hickey
has the wrong viewpoint when she
believes it is the duty of the farm-
ers to furnish this milk at a low
price. Farmers also have children
who must be fed and clothed, and
they cannot properly provide for
them unless they can secure a fair
price for the products that they sell.
Furnishing milk is a business and
not a charity. There is no more rea-
son why the farmers should sell milk
at a low price than that the farmers
should sell wheat at a low price,
merely that the poor may be fed and
clothed. . —
_ It is unfortunate that'there are
any poor in the.ci-ty, but the duty of
' taking care' of the. poor and especial-
ly the poor children, rests not upon
the" farmers-of the country but upon

the. people at large, and especially_

_ those residing in. the cities. Merely
,because the poor need milk, and can-
not afford to pay a fair price for it
is no reason why the cost of all the
milk sent to market should be re-
duced... for to, do this would reduce

.~;‘tlie price to the well—to-do as well as

the aptior.‘ ,Th ' of the people
$11.9 ’ ‘

 
 
 
  
   

 

‘Mr.

the prices to the farmers and the
wealthy and the middle classes get
the beneﬁt of these lower prices as
well as the poor. Why should not
the city, through its departments of
charity and various charitable organ-
izations purchase milk from the
farmers at a fair'price and see that
it is delivered to the poor, either free
of charge, or at a price that they can
afford to pay. Let the city bear the
burden of taking care of the “poor
kiddies” and not ask the farmers to
do it.~—0ha/rles Btoﬂ, Royal Oak, Mich.

The author of the above letter is the
head of the LarrOWe Milling Co,, of De—
troit, Himself 8. large producer of milk,
Staff has not permitted his other
interests to distort his viewpoint of the
farming business. His letter, shows a
clear and unbiased understanding of the
fundamentals of the dairy business, and
every farmer will agree that his attitude
is thin-reasonable and right. The letter
was originally published in a Detroit
daily. It is reprinted here by Mr.
Staff’s permission—Editor,

STATE LANDS

. HE SATURDAY Evening Post
I of December 18th, had a leading
article and an editorial against

the present policy 'of exploiting the
cut over lands. of Northern Michigan,
Wisconsin~and Minnesota. It also
carried a full page advertisement of
the Canadian Paciﬁc railroad offering
lands in Canada and calling attention
to the fact that twenty years was
the time allowed to make payments
and that no taxes were collected on

  

house, barn, stock or tools.‘ There
was no mention made that the On-
tario farmers were being solicited
to gamble with ice and snow and by
an offer of land at ﬁfty cents per
acre and a good sized loan to help
develop the property_quickly.

The cut over land question has
yet another side from the one given
it by such discussion as the Post has
given so far. Had the state owned
the land and sold the timber at a
price per thousand feet and required v
the replanting to trees of all land
not suitable for farming, we should
have had a different story than the
one we have now. But as long as
the people most interested can elect
hungry lawyers or other men who
have no familiarity with the words
Justice and Truth, it will remain a
fact that the words politics and leg-
islature will mean a predatory, tax;-
eating block in front of the wheels
of progress and will foster no eo-
operative state wide‘ mutual beneﬁt
for all citizens. Within ten miles
of Grand Rapids are abandoned
houses and barns on sandy land that
should have remained in forest.

Much of the cut over lands in
Michigan which sell from $15 to $50
per acre are the lands which were
originally bought by lumber com—
panies for $125 per acre and much
of it has since been re—acquired by

IT IS NOT only in keeping with time-honbred
custom but the sincere impulse of our
‘ hearts that prompts the Business Farmer to
wish its readers a happy New Year. We know
that the New Year will not be a prosperous one
‘ for all concerned so there is nothing to be gain-
ed by wishing it, but the New Year can be a
happy year if we all resolve to make it so. The
New Year can be made happier than the old

icism, a little more thinking of others and a lit-
tle less thinking of self, and above all a ﬁrm

mother of most of our quarrels. If you would
be happy yourself resolve to make others hap-
-' py. Whatever you'add to the breadth of oth-
er people’s happiness you add to the breadth
. and the depth ~ and the heighth of your own
happiness. We not only wish you, dear read-
ers, a happy New Year, but we pledge you our
word that we shall do our part in making it so.

Look Ahead!

‘ I T IS THE New Year. It is the time of turn-
ing over new leaves and making resolu-
tions; of cleaving ties that bind to a scarred
past and turning steps conﬁdently to a better
future. It is the time of renunciation and
v forgetfulness, of new determination and re-
. newed hopes. Yesterday,—the old year,-—-is
dead. Today,———the New Year,—-—is here, pulsat-
. ing With life and promise.
Upon the coming of each new year, hope
springs exultant in the human heart. Life
t without hope is nothing but a dreary existence
at ‘the best. The man or woman who has lost
. hopehas lost all. The only place for the hope-
; less is the grave. Life itself is hope. Black as
may have been the discouragements of the past
and remote as may appear the promise of the
future, so long as life continues there is no
' reason for the spark of hope to be extinguish-
ed. As the rays of dawn penetrate, the black
‘ mantle of the night, so does the new year break
forth with a warmth and splendor that melt
away the icy barriers of despair and paint
beautiful mirages upon the canvas of the fu-
ture to attract our longing eyes. .
The last year has witnessed the blasting of
many hopes for material things. Reconstruc-
' tion has come like an avenging' angel. . ,With
the touch of his magic wand he has closed the '
doors of great factories and robbed the work-
ers of their daily bread. He, has throttled the
. avenues of the trade and paralyzed the limbs of

Will You Help?
HE MICHIGAN Business Farmer is mak-
ing a special appeal to its friends at this
time to help the Hoover European Relief move-
ment We do this kmwing at the same time
that a good many pocket beaks have been
stretched to their limit to pay taxes and buy
the neeemitia of life, but knowing also that

few if any of the. readers. of The Business

Farmer are so poor that they cannot spare a
little to help buy food for the starving child-
ren of Europe. And knowing also that the
heartof the country is generous enough to re-
spend to this appeal. ' '

When I“ say “starving children,” that is
what I mean. I don’t suppose the readers of
The Business Farmer know that over in cen-
tral Europe thousands of children have died
for lack of food and that three and a half mil-
lion others are ‘Only a few days removed from
starvation. And yet that is the case. I don’t

suppose you know that unless the rest of the '

world puts up a.hundred or more million dol-
lars to buy food for these children until an,-
other harvest is gathered in, a vast army of
little children will suffer tlfe worst kind of a
death. And yet that also is the case.

This is the ﬁrst time that the Business
Farmer has ever made an appeal to its readers
for money for charitable puposes. If every
reader would subscribe the small amount of
ten cents, the.‘total would be over $6,000. But
there are always a few who have no sense of
duty or feelings of compassion and whose
share of the expense must be borne by others.
If every reader whose heart is moved with pity
for the suffering children of Europe will sub-
scribe even 50 cents or a dollar, or as much
more as they can afford, I am sure that a sub-
stantial fund can be raised from among our
readers. Will you not help, and let the Bus-
iness Farmer show that the pe0ple of the
farms have as big hearts as the people of the
cities?

 

The Ralston-Nolan Bill

HE RALSTON.NOLAN bill which was

. introduced in the last session of Congress
and will be revived in the next aims to reduce
federal taxes on business twenty-ﬁve per cent
and transfer them to idle land and natural re-
sources held out of use. The leaders of some
of the farm organizations, including John
Ketcham of the State Grange, have jumped on
this bill with both feet. Whether this is the
result of mature judgment or a case of leaping
before looking we do not know but we suspect
the latter. The farmers of the nation should
not be too hasty in judging this bill upon its
face. It is deserving of study. It has some
bad features, but many, many good ones. While
it proposes to levy a tax upon certain idle
farm lands, this tax is small and does not af-
feet ninety per cent of the farmers at all. All
land values under $10,000, after deducting
cost of all improvements, such as buildihgs,
fences, tiling, etc., are eXempt. There are
very few farms in Michigan whose bare land
value is messed as high as $10,000. The few
that would be in the taxable class would be re-
quired to pay but'a Very small tax." a The larg-
‘est source of revenue that-would be derived

in keeping the criminal in cheek and the police

' A Correction ‘
IN CE\ THE Business Farmer announced in
. its Dec. 4th issue that the Milk Commis-
‘sionvhad set the price for December milk, we'
have been advised that such was not the case.
We have been advised that Pres. Hull and a
number of milk producers who were present at

the‘Commission meeting‘relieved the commis- _ ,

sion of that responsibility by agreeing-among
themselves to accept the $3 price because of a
certain surplus condition existing at that time.
While in the light of this information we no.
longer question the wisdom of this vbluntary
arrangement at that particular time, it but em-
phasizes the Woefully uneconomic methods
that have been pursued in the Detroit area and
elsewhere in arrivin at the wholesale and re-
ilk. The statements that
were made in the above issue regarding the
commission were made in entirely good faith
upon the strength of information which we
believed reliable. For three years the Com-
mission had set the monthly price of milk in

.Detroit Without interruption and we had. no

reason to believe that it had not also set the
price for December milk. - We gladly make
this correction and ask our readers to purge
their minds of any prejudices they may hold
against the Commission as a result of the pub-
lication of the erroneous statements.

that the sugar beet manufacturers were

statement was derided by the manufacturers

were substantially correct. A recent '

7. Mr. Fordnsy. .
i ' « BOSOM friend of M1. Fordney writes us
‘  about the Fordncy emergency tax-ill

‘ bill, saying, “I told you that Joe Fordney

would stand by the farmers when the chance

came. Now confess that you were mistaken-

snd give Mr. Fordney the credit that is due
him. Note that Mr. Fordney received the
largest number of votesin the last election ever

given him." .

We jwill not confess that we were mistaken
about 'Mr. Fordney and the bean tariﬁ, be-
cause we would be oonfeming to an untruth.
We proved that Mr. Fordncy laid down on the
‘job in‘ that particular case. We proved the

motive. We exposed his alibi. For the same .

reason that Mr. Fordney did not wish the bean
growers to have a tarilfjast year he wants
them to have one this year. Last year the beet
manufacturers needed acrceage. This year
they will not be so anxious for acreage. But
that’s ancient history. We'll wipe it all the
boards. We have already acknowledged Mr.
Fordney’s part in the present move to enact
an agricultural tarilf bill. We will give him
Ivory particle of credit that is due him, and
note jot more. So long as he shows by his ac-
tions that he intends to represent the interests
of the people we shall be right behind him and
give him an occasional pat on the back, but the
minute he shows signs of weakening or going
over to the special interests we shall employ our
toot instead of our hand. So far as Mr. Ford-
ney‘s votes in the last election are concerned,
it was perfectly natural that he should have
made his best race with an the women voting
in a Republican landslide, but why does our
correspondent not mention and account for the
fact that Mr. Fordney ran a considerable dis-
tance behind his ticket in several of the strictly
agricultural counties? ’ '

 

Dragging The Bean Market
SOME WEEKS AGO we quoted J. Ralph
Pickell as saying that “the Michigan been
market is not altogether a matter of supply
,and‘ demand.” What Mr. Pickell meant is
clearer to us now since we have learned from

well-founded rumors that some of our Michi-

bea'n jobbers have been mixing oriental

with Michigan beans and selling them
p ,1 Michigan variety. In other
words the bean market has been drugged. The

Ostriches

'T is ab unfortunate tact that people who are
I contented with their own condition in life are

apt to become mental ostrichces. Our great
material civilization built up on the mag-
niﬁcently productive individualism that grlpt
the world during the post-Renaissance is de-
veloping in dangerous directions. Individualism
at the top of industry with no individuality
among the masses is productive of immense ac-

complishment: but the seepage of the individual— -

lstic idea down thru the sweating millions who for
ages have had no thought save to obey those that
chance or personal ability put over them, is chang-
ing the aspect ot‘ things. The myriad-throated
horde bowls for luxurles, for less toll, for music,
dancing 3.” play. The howling continues and
slowly the productiveness of toll worn hands grows
less while the thunder or the multitude grows loud-
er. Salaries begin to go up. Immediately up go
prices to hold up margins of proﬁt. This ends in
a vicious circle. The incl-east pay is nulliﬁed by
the incl-east cost of necessities as well as the lux-
uries of life. Again sounds that hyda—throated
thunder before whose rumbling, thrones, empires
and dominion: have been swept away and vast clv‘

ilizations blotted out till nothing of them remains

but a moss grown pillar on an empty plain. The
solution is this: Labor must be willing to work
for good play that will afford not only the bare

/ necessities of life; but some of the beauty or it,

too. Wealth must 'be willing to limit the margin
of its proﬁts so that the increast pay of its ser-
vants will buy those servants something worth
while. There must be (Xi-operation, common
sense, service on both sides; less greed on one side
and less inertia on the other. Throwing money
into scientiﬁc charities is no remedy: it is only a
drlblet of balm poured in a gaping wound. The
trouble mr'ust be stopt at its source. The world has
sucked in the virus of Materialism until its soul is
dead: It would eat gold pieces for its roubles as a
child with a cold craves cough-drops: but they do
not cure the malady. Even tho staggering under
the burden of our terrible present-day taxes.
Wealth must nevertheless pull his head out of the
golden sands of selﬁshness and consider giving a
far larger share of income back to the actual pro-
ducers for their toll, at the same time keeping
down prices both wholesale and retail. Men both
rich and poor must realize their spiritual duties.

pride in the distinction, which the University
enjoys; it is a matter of satisfaction to all
true Michiganders that the name‘and fame of g 
theierniversity  spread around the world,
and that among‘its students. are listed men and
women of nearly every nationality. But that
does not and should not blind us altogether to
the fact that there is a deﬁnite limit beyond-
which the people cannot go in making approp-
riations for bringing the University up to the
standard of excellence which ambitious Uni-
versity heads covet. If the laudable, but nev-.
ertheless, unreasonably extravagant dreams of
the heads of competing universities are contin-
ually pampered by the indulgent tax payers
there is no limit to the flights of extravagance
to which their fancies may not lead. 1 Less
than ten thousand Michigan men and women
attend the University, but 200,000 farm boys
and girls are students in the rural schools. 80
long as no check is put upon the appropria-
tions sought by the college and university
heads, the rural schools must continue to
struggle along with inadequate equipment and
ineﬂicicnt instructors, under crowded and un-
sanitary conditions. It is high time for the
legislature to break away from the siren songs
of the ﬁnishing schools and turn its attention
to the little red school housa where the warp
and woof of American citizenship is spun.

the rest of the grain gambler-‘3 paraphernalia the
Senator says. Rous mlt ’cm. As we understand
it, the legitimate- graln-buylng transaction is'
"saved" by resorting to the gamble. Will Congress
permit the farmer to eat an cake and keep it? It
often happens in this life that evil is so mixed up
wlb good that it becomes necessary to “let the tall
go with the hide."

 

Facing a shrinkage of more than seven billion
dollars, ln the value of his products when computed
on a basis at last year’s selling prices, the American
farmer is sure to demand that the new congress
give careful attention to agricultural problems. Re-
membering that the farmers are 80 per cent or-
ganized, the new congress is sure to consider their
claims. Isn’t it barely possible that the market
raiders have overplayed Just a little.

~ 2 ’WAY DOWN EAST
 i Y NEIGHBOR, Christopher Dy-
] , . ker, has just returned from a
_  - .v‘isit to the scenes of his boy'—
hood among the Pennsylvania Dutch
down on the Susquehanna river.

He visited in the rural districts
among the retired farmers and I was
much interested in what he had to
tell.

He hadn’t been there since he left
sixty years ago and to his surprise
he found them living in much the
same manner as when he was a boy.

No street lights, pavements or ce-
ment walks, the folks get about at
night with lanterns and they are
strictly necessary for the old brick
walks have an independent habit of
dropping up or down a. few inches
with no warning at all and after a
few jolts you need no sign saying,
“watch your step.”

They do not care much for mod-
ern improvements and in one little
settlement there was not even a
bank, their banking business was
done by driving just 24 miles around
the mountain to the next town, two
miles only, as the crow flies. Many
of them kept their money in an old
red sock behink a loose tile in the
chimney. That wouldn’t. do here in
progressive Michigan; some fellow
would wan-t that money to invest in
oil stock or tires and would come
hurriedly in when we were not look
ing and relieve us of it.

They are a very honest people and
very thrifty. The quality of their
wheat and corn is ﬁne if it is all
grown on the slant and there are
many factories in the little towns,
making cotton fabrics, dress goods
and shirts and these small towns
are not over ﬁve or six miles' apart.

The roads run up hill and down,
twisting in and out like .a ‘cork-

- screw, often in winter the inhabitants
of these little mountain homes are
actually snow—bound for many weeks
at a time.

When Mr. Dyker told his folks
that we had roads in Michigan, 20 to
40 miles in length and as smooth as
a dancing floor, they eyed him with
suspicion. The mountains are cov—
ered with plenty of timber and it is
full of wild turkeys, fox, deer and
black bear. Life is not too strenu—
ous with these people. A few hours
in the corn ﬁeld and then calling
their hounds and shouldering a gun
they are off for a hunt in the tall
timber. They found one day a deer
that had been frightened by some
real or fancied danger and had jump-
ed a sheer 300 feet, falling on a tel—
egraph Wire and then to the ground,
breaking all four slender legs.

Everything down there Is on the
slant, the plows are all made for
side—hill plowing and the men too
for that matter, most of them be-
ing a little short in one leg, the cat-
tle too are all one sided,‘——well that is
what he told me. The houses are
justset on a shelf looking as if a
good stiff breeze might pick them off.
You climb up the walk to the front
door but just reach out the back
windows and you can touch the tree
tops on the mountain behind you.

They have enough hard coal to
furnish the U. S. for a good many
years, in that part of the mountains
all along the Susquehanna river
running about 40 miles on both
sides. Inone mine they were tak-
ing out 1,400 tons daily and had
hardly scratched the surface. It
sells for $6 per ton, ﬁ-ne,’ clean, an-
thracite! . There must‘ be a nigger

'in the fence somewhere between

i :there and here. . '

' There is no compromising with

vil‘ among those people: H“I was

iting a cousin of mine.one day,"

 ‘Mr, Dyker. “She looked out of

HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE
HOUSEWIFE

EARLY every housewife dreads
the idea of washing windows on
the outside, especially in cold
weather. My method is far easier
than the old time ones so I will give
it for the beneﬁt of others. I fasten
a clean cotton cloth in my mop and
then with a pail of clear water
(cold) I wash the windows and then
let them dry. They will be clear as
crystal without so much labor. I
wonder how many farm women
dread wash day ’

By ty-

In this way pumping is the only work
and the pipe can then be hung up
out of the way. It is not expensive
either, mine only cost 34 cents com-
plete. ' '

Last spring in a letter to M. B. F.
I mentioned the making of lamps at
heme. One lady wrote in asking for
more details, but the rush of sum-
mer work was on then and I neglect-
ed to write again.
I will take up the subject now.

When using enamel paint add a

some bedroom furniture that had be-
come marred and scratched I decided
to give it a couple coats of white
enamel. I took a dull bladed knife
and scraped off the old paint and
then repainted it with ﬁrst two coats
of white paint and then a ﬁnishing
coat of white enamel. Odd pieces
of furniture can be made to look as
nice as a more expensive bedroom
suite and it is very economical.—

HOME DIPROVEMENT CONTEST

INTERESTED READERS

EAR MISS NORRIS: Your

Home Improvements Contest

letters interested me very much,
and I am glad to send a few
ideas of mine. I hope all the other
readers will do the same because the
real experiences of practical farm
vwomen are of so much more value
than some of the articles one meets
with in the current magazines. I
have in mind an article I read some
time ago concerning a housewife who
had reduced her working hours to
six hours per day. I thought this
was most wonderful until .I compar-
ed her weekly schedule with mine
when I discovered her's comprised
no more than one third the tasks
that mine did. So I decided that
after all I was doing rather well in
a 12 to 16 hour day. Now for
the home improvement ideas. In
most farm homes keeping the stove
reservoir full of water is a hard job.
Generally the pail of wwter must be
pumped and lifted out of the sink,
carried to the stove, lifted again and
poured into the reservoir, over and
over again until it is full. But where
the pump is located in the kitchen
the hard work can be almost elim-
inated. Get a piece of round eaves-
trough of the proper length to reach
from the stove to the pump. Then
have a tinsmith solder on a piece

_, feet high. These
can be round, square or oblong ac-
cording to taste. Two or three boards
graduated in size can be built up for
a base. A small hole should be made
in the bottom of the lower board to
accommodate the head of a lag screw
which is used to fasten post and base
together. When this is done the
surface should be made perfectly
smooth with sand paper then a coat
of prepared stain is put on, then two
coats of orange shellac and ﬁnally,
a coat of wax well rubbed down. For
painted lamps of course, no stain is
used. Only 2 or 3 coats of paint.

If the lamp is to be electric the

' proper ﬁttings can be secured at an

electrical shop or mail order house.
For a kerosene lamp 9. small sort of
box should be nailed on top of post
to hold the bowl of lamp. In order
to avoid all danger of ﬁre a kero-
sene lamp should be fastened to the
floor with screws. This is not neces-
sary wit-h electric lamps. The frame
for the shade can be made at home
out of soft wire. But in the large
department stores they can be pur-
chased very cheaply ready made, and
if possible this is fai- the best way
to do. The materials and designs
for shades are multitudin‘o-us, I can
only give the barest outlines here.
Rose colored silk is much used be-
cause it sheds such a pleasant glow
about the room. But any other color
which harmonizes with the furnish-
in-gs of the room is alright. The silk

-can be gatheredin'to the frame' leav-

ing a heading at top and bottom, ﬁn-
ishing witih tassels on fringe. Right
now parchment shades are the thing.
These are made of Japanese vellum
which can be bought in large sheets
at book stores. Any one who has a
little talent with paints can make
very beautiful and individual lamp
shades. That is the beauty of home-
made things, they represent the mak-
er’s own taste and ingenuity. For
a young girl’s bedroom try a lamp
with ivory base, the shade of pale
pink or blue embroidered or lace
trimmed in white—Mrs. R. H.

, STUDY THE CHILDREN
N ANSWER to an appeal from I.
young farmer’s wife, I would say '
——-study the children, not allm
of the same make-up. First remain»
her to be a playmate to“ them, win

‘ their affection by kindness, cheerful-

ness and sternness. Let them-alum"
you expect them to do just what you
say and just when you say it.

Bring up a child in the way, they
should go and when they are _ old
they will not depart from it.

For the kitchen and dining room
I would paint it up as far as the.
chair backs with yellow paint after
that dries, sponge it all over with
dark stain and varnish. You have
an imitation of marble and it does
not show the little ﬁnger marks. The
woodwork canbe stained to match
and paper to matclf. '

I would suggest Batiste‘for being
a very serviceable dress goods. It

’can be washed and done up' like on?

cotton goods. ’ .
When baking bread put a pan of ._

water in the top grate after the

bread starts browning, which should

'be in 15 minutes after it enters the

oven, and it will keep the crust tend-
er, ‘also grease the bread when you
take it from the oven.

_ Separator oil may be used over
again if kept clean. Saw a piece at
fly netting over the holes in the
socks and stockings and darn that
the holes both «ways. It is much
easier to keep your work straight.
All bed room floors should be paint;-
ed if possible with one or two small _
rugs. Home made fluff rugs m'
nice, made from woolen strips one
inch wide, 4 inches long sewed close

RECIPES GOOD AND RELIABLE
Easy Sponge Cake

Yolks 2 eggs; whites two eggs; 1
cup sugar; 1 cup flour; 3—8 cup of
hot water; 1 1-2 " teaspoons baking
powder; 1-4 teaspoon salt; 1-4 tea-
spoon lem'on extract. Beat yolks
until thick; add lemon color. Add
1-2 the sugar gradually, add the hot
water and the remaining 1—2 cup of
sugar, flavoring, whites of eggs beat-
en stiff and the flour sifted with the
baking powder and salt. Bake 25
minutes in a moderate oven in an
angel food tin or in one square pan.

Mock Orange Marmalade

2 cups carrot, cooked and put
through grinder. 2 lemons, juice
and ground up rind; 1 orange, juice
and ground up rind. Cook orange
and lemon rind gently until rinds

ter to keep them from burning. Add
this to the carrot. Then add equal
weight of sugar and cook until thick.
Your friends will never know you
have used any vegetable until you
tell them. A little canned pineap-
ple is a delicious addition.

Savory Rice

This is a splendid luncheon dish.
Boil a cupful of rice in salted water
until tender. ~Have re-ady‘ﬁve slices
of bacon, a small onion and a green
pepper, which you have put through
the food chopper together and then
cooked in a saucepan until slightly
brown. Bea-t this into «the 'rice and
add half a cupful of tomato sauce
and salt and pepper to taste. Bake
about twenty minutes in a moderate
oven and serve hot. ‘

Modern Priscilla says that lots of
water should be allowed for cooking
rice, three quarts of water to «a cup-
ful of rice being none too much, with
a teaspoont‘ul of salt. The grains
should be washed thoroughly and
left to drain in a sieve while the wa-
ter is coming to a boil in a deep ket-
tle and then it should be dropped
into the water, a tablesp'oonfuil at a
time, so that the boiling will not
stop. Stir Well to prevent any grains
sticking, cover and turn the ﬁre low
so that boiling will continue until
tender—about twenty minutes. When
done. drain rice through a sieve until
water ceases to drip, flush with
boiling water and when that stops
draining place sieve in a moderate
oven with the door aja-r. This leaves
the rice dry and light, each grain
separate frOm the rest and different
from the stocky mass so often seen.

The same awthoritysays that while
many people know the value of the

WEENTY’S NEW YEAR VISIT
HROUGH the trees it looked al-

. most' like the moon—the clock -

in the clock tower, with its big,
gold 'face that shone out so brightly
in the dark night sky.

Weenty could see it from her__ little
crib, and tonight, with snow wrap-
ping the earth in a great, white
blanket and all the bells waiting
breathlessly for the clock to strike
the midnight chimes, it seemed a
important thing indeed.

“Only seven,” said Weenty to her-
self settling herself coolly beneath
her comfort. “That’s hours and
hours away from New Years. I sup-
pose I had better make my resolu-
tions now so when New Year’s comes
along I’ll have them ready.”

“What are you going to make them
with?” asked a voice. It was Mr.
Rabbit, sitting on the carpet and
sucking the knob of his cane.

“Make what?” Weenty asked,

. peeping over her comfort.

“The resolutions, of course, you

were talking about making," Mr.
Rabbit replied.

“Oh!” said Weenty. “My mind
I guess.”

“Will you let me see them when
you get through?” Mr. Rabbit asked.
“I’ve always wondered what they
looked like.” He crossed his legs
and watched Weenty with the most
interested expression as ifhe expect-
ed magic, at least.

“Dear me,” said Weenty. “They
don’t look like anything, I'm afraid.”

Mr. Rabbit furrowed his brow.
“Then they are like the thing the
clocks are always ticking about, I
suppose. They are always pointing
to the same numbers and saying
them over and over again and yet
they will tell you they are different.
Did you ever hear such nonsense?”
V “It is hard to explain," Weenty
agreed. “But, really, Mr. Rabbit.
you don’t thing Time is nonsense, do
you? You know there is such a
thing, don’t you?”

“Oh,” Mr. Rabbit hastened to ex-
plain. “I’m not saying there isn‘t
such a thing. All I was saying. is
that one can’t see it, except on the
clocks and they aren’t always right,
either, just think how the kitchen
and parlor clocks race with each oth-
er. If I had to get up in the morning
I would go by the parlor clock but
if I had dinner to eat the kitchen
clock is the fastest."

“Something is wrong with them,"
Weenty observed. “They should
pay better attention to the real time

' of day.”

“I guess nobody really know-s,"
Mr. Rabbit said. “How could any-
m?!’ ,

“There's Old Father Time,” Ween-
“Don’t you think he
ﬁxes the time?” »

er Time, she was sure, and then, too,
Mr. Rabbit would get all his puzzly
questions answered perhaps.

Mr. Rabbit stretched his magic
cane and the two of them climbed on.
It was only a minute to the clock
towerand there was a window where
they could get into a little room back
of the clock.

Weenty was surprised to ﬁnd the
back of the clock had a big round
shining face with eyes and nose and
mouth instead of just numbers and
hands as in the front. Old Father
Time was there, as Mr. Rabbit had
thought he would be. He was lean-
ing on a stick and talking to the
clock.

“You haven’t lost a minute this
year,” he said._ "Let me congratu=
late you. There aren't many folks

who have the same record. I hate to
have my little minutes so carelessly
treated as sometimes they are."

“I have tried. to do my best," the
clock answered. “And I strike loud
and clear so everybody will remem-
ber the passing of your precious time
children." ’ "

“Ah! Here comes some or them
now!" Old Father Time cried as a
troupe of children came tumbling in
the window. “Well, children, how
have things gone?"

“Smootth enough with me," said
one little youngster, whose bright
eyes still had a. bit of Fairyland shine
in them, "once the children pack of!
to bed. The ones who don’t overeat
at dinnertime have the most fun
with me, though."

Electric ‘

The use at electricity .t-or general
cooking purposes is really deserving
oi? far more space than can be given
in this shartIarticle in order to con-
vey properly even a fairly accurate
conception of its merits.

As' compared to other methods of
cooking, little heat is thrown into
the room. This makes ‘it strongly
favored for hot weather, when the
average kitchen is too not to mark
in comfortably most or the time that
the cooking is going on. Contrary
to conditions existing in kitchens
where fuel is consumed at the burn-
ers of the stove, no products of com-
bustion pass into the air of the room.
hence with electric cooking the air
is decidedly better when the out-
side temperature requires that doors
and windows be kept clesed. The
rate of cooking can be more deﬁnite—
ly and quickly regulated. Electric
oOoking utensils are not covered with
soot and therefore are easier to wash
and clean. Ii! a breeze is blowing
through the kitchen on a summer day
no” attention need be paid to it, as
there is no danger of «explosion or
other trouble due to the possible ex-
tinction of the flame. in fact, with
electric cooking there is practically
no such ﬁre risk as there is with coal
gas, or gasoline. Some cooking can
be done on the dining room table,
and this sometimes appeals strongly
to those who do not like to absent
themselves from the family meal or
who like to have things “hot from pan
to plate.

Electrical Appliances

There are Several appliances that
can be used on electric lighting cir-
cuits. Several types of portable disk
stoves are available. They may be
obtained her either the .32 or 110
voltage. Bacon and eggs and grid-
dle cakes may be [cooked on these
stoves. Toast may .be made by plac-
ing a piece of wire nesting bet-ween

. the bread and the top of the stove.

They may be used in the dining room,
sick room, etc. They are made in
at least those sizes and the largest
ones are provided with e. three-point
switch which permits a regulation or!
tempera-tore.

“The electric toaster permits the
toasting 'to be done where it can be
watched without undue inconven-
ience. Toasters may be obtained for
either the 32 or the 1120 voltage.

The hot water bottle has seen so
much use in many homes that some
would not care to be“ without one.
The application of heat is recogniz-
ed by the medical profession as a
very important and reliable means
or relieving suffering. And the
electric heating pad eliminates the
danger .of leaking- water and pro-
vides .or maintains a constant maxi-
mum temperature. A regulating
switch permits adjustment tor differ-
ent degrees of heat.

The washing machine has perhaps
done as much (it not more) toward
relieving the housewife of much of
the extra burden. which has been
thrown upon her under present eco-
nomic conditions, as any other of the
labor-saving devices.

These machines are manufactured
by many companies and require com-
paratively littlecurnemt :tor opera-
tion. They may be operated fro-31*
any lighting socket.

Electric icons (are available in

 EV'RYTEING
0 THE  of M. B. F.
I an' .this, col’lum' in pertic'lar,
'I have some. very grat’fyin’
news. Your, 01' unit has kinda reform-
ed -an’ _from_-now on an’ hence for-
ward he’s .a-“goin to be more careful
of what he says when he writes to
you thrn M. B, F. Never agin, hard-
ly, will you see the Words, “dum,”
“darn,” “migosh,” “higosh,” etc.- .
I have two .purty good reasons for
not usin’ of ’em an’ that's why I’m

_ quittin’ ’em.

Reason No. 1 is: I’ve been crit-ciz-
ed, in a very kindly way of course,
by some of the readers of M. ‘B. F. for
which I feel like givin' thanks, a1;
though I’m ﬁlled this mornin' with
sorrow, pancakes an’ scrambled eggs
to think I’ve offended anybody by
my turrible habit of swearin’, purty
nigh. An’ reason No. 2 is: I've jest
got back from a three weeks visit out
in the country—the place the good
Lord made a. pupose for folks to live
in—out among the honest farmers,
who are now sellin’ their creps at
what ever they can git for 'em, an’ I
ﬁnd that them little Words I’ve been
a usin', which has made some of my
friends shudder am’ tremble in fear
for the safety of my soul, don’t begin
to express what the farmers are feel-
in’ right at the present time—not by.
a—long ways.

The languidge they’re usin' every
time they sell a. load of wheat, a bag
of beans, a. couple of shoats or a. two
year 01’ steer, makes the words I’ve
been usin’ seems like baby talk an’
as what they’re a sayin’ right out
loud, wouldn’t look nice in print an’
no I can’t use it I’ve decided to cut
out all that savers of even so little as
one half of one per cent of profanity
strong some
times an say things under my breath
or even right out loud (in the dark
y’know) it won't never appear in print
not ever agin so if any of my friends
wants to paste'my stuff into their
scrap books or any place, they can do
so an’ be entirely unafraid—It’ll be
all right with me.

I ﬁnd the farmers believe in many
things now they didn't believe in in
times gone thy—they are quite ﬁrmly
convinced now that there’s ' such a,
place as hades, you know the place
where proﬁteers an’. the likes. go
when they’re through with things
here on earth—when they’ve grabbed
the last cent they’ll ever be able to
grab an’ in proof of this belief they
say: “if there ain’t any such place
where’s business gone to, an' prices
an’ everything?” ' Yes the farmers
are usin’ strong languidge these days
nn’ believin’ strange things—they even
believe there’s too many middle men
am’ speculators an' gamblers. reapin' a.
harvest off’n their hard earnin’s an'
they—some of ’em at least, believe
laws should be passed to make it a
crime to gamble in the necessities of
life—that there should ‘be some way
to market farm produce for less mon-
ey than it takes to produco it. They
believe that 35 per cent is not enough
for the farmer to receive out of each
pays for his
food an’ sim’lar. -

The farmer believes it should be
made easier for farmers to obtain
money to hold or market their crops
an' not be obliged to sell at an' ab-
solute loss to them, which many are
doin' at the present time.

They are comin’ more an' move an’
more to believe in the Farm Bureau
an’ almost absolutely in Mvrmou
ananss FARMEB, in fact in most lo-
calities it is their one best friend an'
they know it—that’s why they believe
in it an' putty—that Is they rely on It
an’ won’t be without it

An' there’s ’nother thing many farm
ers believe—mebbe they’re foolish to
believe it but some of 'em do——that
the next congress an’ next state leg-
islature will pass laws that will be of
some beneﬁt to farmers—laws that
will help ’em out-of a bad hole," so to
speak, an’ git 'em back onto solid
ground agin. -

Of course they’ve believed such
things before but up to date they’ve
met mostly with disappointment an'
prob’ly will agin but the farmers are
hopeful—that is they're always hopinf
for better things an’ must always git:
tin’ it where the hen got the axe. an:

  

 
 

    

 

‘ jest thei'aame'  ,
gone before. ,Nobody‘ knoWs 'Voif~ course
—but' onehmthing ' is purl: sure, the 

     

   

as the 'L years fillet-

big interests will be‘taken care or all
right—they always have. been' and

probably always will be the ones» that -

need no protection are jest the ones
that gits most. cause after all’s said
an’ done, they're the ones that either
goes to congress an’ the legislatur’ or

else they elect, by they’re money  

inﬂuence, the ones that do go.

Mebbe I speak purty plain but - so
long as I don’t use swear words mob-
be it’ll be all right an’ in spite of the
swear words I’ve used in the past,
I’ve allus tried to tell the truth an' I
(shall keep on tellin’ it cause I don’t
believe in lyin’ whatever else my
failin's may be. '

I might tell you of many other
things farmers believe an’ things they
hope for, but I only started out to
tell youthe glad news that. owin’ to
one thing‘an’ another, we’d kinda de-
cided to simmer down an’ now’t I’ve
told it an' the whys an wherefores
an’ What the farmers think an’ of the
decidedly strong languidge they’re a
usin’ an’ as there seems to be no
good reason why I should prolong
your agony I might’s well quit right
here. ' '

Let me say this however—your Un-
cler' Rube is always ready' an’ very
glad of.honeet criticism from any of
the readers of M. B. F. Send them
along—it’s very proper to do it for
surely it is not my intent to offend
any right minded persons—never the
less, in shootin’ at random'as I do,
I may hit somebody an’ if the one hit
is in the wrong I have no apology to
offer. Cordially yours. UNOT—Fl
RUBE.

A POOR DAY FOR AUTOMOBILES,
SAYS OFFICER 107

A count of the number of automo-
biles passing over the asphalt pave-
ment at Michigan and Jackson
Blvds., city of Chicago, was taken
between the hours of 7 a. m. and 7
p. m. by the Good-rich Tire Co., on
August 11, 1920. The total num-
ber was 36,665, withan average per
hour of 3,055 and an average per
minute of 50. This is larger than
the number of automobiles register-
ed during 1919 in either of the states
of Arizona, Delaware, District of
Columbia, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah,
Vermont and Wyoming.

South Park oﬁicer 1’07, stationed
at this intersection stated that the
day the count was taken “was a
poor day for automobiles" as ordin-
arily the traﬂic is from ﬁfteen thous-
and to twenty thousand more during
these twelve hours.

SOMETHING MISSING

A city youngster was paying his
ﬁrst visit to his uncle’s farm. Among
the amimals on the place was a rather
small colt. As the boy. stood gazing at
the little creature his uncle said:
“Well, »what,do you think of him,
Johnny?"

“Why—why, he’s all right,” said
Johnny, "but where’s his rockers?”

Sail has ,beenon ’ ’i‘e decline.
reason is obvioust‘ the. business has
not paid. “Winchesta change in mar-
keting conditions the industry could
be expected to .ldwindle to almost
nothing in the future. The an-
'nouncement that the state farm bu-
reau would get better prices for
timber products might aggravate
this condition by influencing farm-
ers to make extensive cuttings to
' ,make' up ior losses in other lines of
business it it were not for the fact
that it will not advocate wholesale
cutting of timber lands. By the
plan ‘which they expect to outline it

' ’ .will be possible for a farmer to cut

a small part of his timber each year
and still get as good a relative price
as if he marketed in carload lots
only. The plan is to create'pools for
the marketing of logs, posts, grape
and vine stakes, pulp wood, retort
‘ wood and fuel with assembling points
situated in various places throughout
the state. Farmers will be advised
to out certain parts of their stand-
ings each year and markets through
these pools. A cruising service thru
which a wood-lot owner may deter-
mine the estimated value ‘of his
timber will also extend the service of
giving expert advice as to the best
method of systematically marketing
timber products. ' .
The department Will also take up
such problems as reforestation, the
collection and marketing of edible
nuts, the collectlomof tree seeds for
reforestation and the classiﬁcation
of land.
' The state farm bureau annOunces
that it is the ﬁrst organization in the
United States to attempt co-opera-
the marketing of wood-lot products

in the manner just outlined. War-w

ren B. Bullock of the extension de-
partment of theCollege of Forestry
at Syracuse, New York, says that
the Michigan plan is the ﬁrst mar-
keting outline which he has seen in
a survey of the United States that
seems workable and that New York
state will have to come to the same
idea. He believes that the Michigan
plan in forestry is the biggest from
a marketing standpoint of any in
the United States today.

FARMERS’ GREATEST NEEDS 1

ion in seasons of plenty for
geucies. - r

The price fixing during the war, on
wheat and'wool, etc., and fixing the
proﬁts to the dealers seem to work

emer-

out satisfactorily, and had the dc ir- -

ed effect on pnoduction. and create a
state of prosperity throughout the
land. It encouraged the farmer to
produce for he knew what he could
exnect to get for his product.

When the farmer delivers his grain
it has to have a certain standard and
is graded, No. 1, No. 2, etc. ‘ Why
should he not be entitled to receive
a certain standard price, according to
the grade of the goods he delivers?

The minimum price should be ﬁxed
by competent judges, properly posted
on the production throughout the pro-
ducing countries, and ﬁxed for at
least one year, so that the farmer
could have some assurance as to’what
he could exriect to receive for his
product. The system is not nearly
as complicated as it would first ap-
pear. If such a goyernment as ours
made it a national institution, there

would be normarket' ﬂuctuations and '

consequently no gambling in those
necessities. If over-production in
some commodities should occur, the
prices would gradually be lowered so

that-there need be no loss to either -'

the government or the producer. But
would not the speculators hold up
their hands in horror, ' and holler
“ruin,” and say. it can‘t be done. But

the people, (the government which is
or should be for the people.)

What is sugar worth now? 9 1-20
you say. Well, it is just the time
now when" the sugar harvest is on and
the farmers and the small stuckhold-
ers .in the sugar tactories are paid ac-
cording to wholesale price of sug-
ar, during this harvesting time. Let
us now watch and see what sugar

will be worth next spring and sum:

mer. The sugar trust, the; Havemi-
ers must add a few more millions to
their already too big fortunes and it
must'be gotten out oi! the producers
and consumers. for they are neither.
They are just simply gambling and
juggling with the products of labor.

Just imagine the millions made on
last year's sugar crop. The price last
year through the harvesting season
was around 120 per pound. After it
got into the hands of the sugar trust,
it went to twice 12c at wholesale.

When you think of the enormity of
it, it is staggering. It amounts to
billions, instead of mere millions.
To think that such stupendous gamb-
ling can be carried on in a country
of educated and intelligent people, is
absolutely a world wonder. I

If somebody steals a few thousand
dollars from a bank or other individ-
ual, they are promptly sent to prison
for a number of years, and of‘course
that is alright, but when such enor-
mous trends which are done openly
and plainly in sight of the public are
perpetrated, we have no laws whereby
they can be puished. Is it any won—
der there is unrest and dissatisfaction
in the land?

STATE LANDS
(Ganttnued from page 11)
tax sale atter the land has been non-
taxed for years.

The legislature should set up a
system‘ of reforestation by deciding
what lands should be used for such
purposes and what lands are ﬁt for
farming. It is obviousthat land not
ﬁt for farming should not receive
the attention of a man who would
like to be a farmer. The Supreme
Court of the United States may have
decided to “Caveat Emptor” or let
the “sucker beware of the hook" was
good for promotion purposes but it
does not wear well in use.

The House of Representative, who
seem a trifle nearer the people,
promptly passed an act to stop the
tide of immigration for a while. But
you will see that the senate domin-
ated by men like Boise Penrose of

 

Pennsylvania will believe that the ’

interests of certain classes are hamp-
and will
block the game. '

If the farmers of the country real-
ly took an interest in politics it is
doubtful if MillerAand Lux of Cal-
ifornia would own 14,000,000 acres
or Mrs.” King of Souther, Texas, 1,-
280,000 acres. For it tenements are
bad and unoccupied land is bad,
then it is up to the farmers and the
working classes to remedy it by the
right kind of laws. Our “practical”
men have had charge of the running
of this country for- years and it
would seem that their efforts should
have made-better conditions than
those which we see around us today.
.It is essentially true that we need
more farmers in Congress and in
the legislature—and farmers who
know justice and truth when they see
it and enjoy the words in everyday

' The real facts on
a Big Milk Production

HE function of milk-making depends so entirely on the
health and activity of the vital organs directly concerned,
that the slightest loss of vigor in these organs aﬂ‘ects at once

both the quantity and quality of the yield.

Because Kow-Kare so quickly reaches and builds up the or ans
of production, it is fast becoming as generally used as an ai
production and a PREVENTIVE of ills as for its fundamental
use in treating disease.

Most cow diseaseHuch as Abortion, .Bal‘renness, Re-
tained Afterbirth, Scouting, Lost Appetite, Bunches,
arise in an impaired condition of the digestive or
genital organs. It is just these organs that Kow-
Kare is designed to build up and restore.

Feed dealers, druggists and general stores
sell Kow-Kare; 70c and $1.40 packases-

DAIRY ASSOCIATION CO.

LYNDONVILLE. VT.

NOTE: Tlu trade-mark name has been
changed from KOW-KURE to KOW-
KARE—a. me more expressive of
BOTH tlu PREVENTIVE and CURA-
TIVE qualities of flu remedy.

BRANDONIIILL FARM '
Brandonhill is the new name which

John P. Hehl, breeder of purebred '

Holsteins, has selected for his term
at Ortonville. This farm was former-
ly called "‘Hillcrest," but, as Mr. Hehl
says, there are so many “Hillcrest
farms" breeding interior animals and
as he was. unable to secure a preﬁx of
that name, he has decided on the
name of Brandonhill. All young
stock will hereafter bear the preﬁx
"Brandonhill,f’ which will be a stamp
of superior breeding and indivuality.

This herd consists of several cows
of 30 lb. records and better, and there

is not an animal in the herd without

a record, excepting some recently ac-
quired which will be tested at next
freshening. -

At the Michigan State Fair last
fall, Mr. Hehl won Junior Champion
Reserve; ﬁrst, second, third and ﬁfth

in Junior and Senior Cali classes—'5

these being the only classes entered.

Two of these animals were selected.
for the Second Annual ,State Select
Jackson last month, and were pro-
nounce‘d perfect individuals. 7

Mr. Hehl has done no adVertising
except to run a small advertisement
in THE MICHIGAN
through which he has sold fourteen
heifers and several bull calves. All
sales are made with the understand-
ing that money will be refunded if_
purchaser is not satisﬁed.

 

SUCCESSFUL SALE OF POLAND
CHINAS HELD AT NILES

One of our ﬁeldmen, Mr. A. D.

Gregory, who attended the Young

Brothers’, Groat’s and Easton’s sale‘

of big type Poland Chinasat Nile’s,
Mich., on the 15th of last November,

. reports the total receipts oi the sale V
was between $3,000 and $3,100. ‘The -

54 head offered averaged better than
$57 a head. Several of these. high
grade animals sold for over $100 and
one yearling sow brought $200. This
wonderful young sow consigned. by
Young Brothers is a full sister to that
great boar, The Emancipator. She
was. purchased by Linc Lukens and
Sons of Indiana. It seems too bad to
see such well bred young animals
leave our state. ’

 

EAT HORSE MEAT

Use or horse ﬂesh as meat was ad-
vocated recently by Prof. M. 0. An-
derson, federal meat inspector at the"
South St. Paul yards. Anderson de-
clared horse steaks were just as good
as beet steaks and adds that mdrkets
for horse ﬂesh has already developed.
Anderson said there is practically an
unlimited supplybi horse meat. “In
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, the Da-

kotas and Nebraska, there are mil- -1
lions of horses running wild,’ he

said. ' '

‘United Farmers. of Ontario, the Sas-

‘pany, and the United Groin Growers
Limited, have appointed representa-
tives who make up the‘ permanent
committee ‘which is supervising the
organization of the wheat-markettng

This committee will make arrange-

marketing association; will negotiate
with the present farmers’ companies
for the use at their elevators and
equipment to do the physical hand-
ling of the, wheat in the pool; will
work out the details of ﬁnancing the
wheat pool: and will incorporate the
association. The present plan is to

The idea is to form a. central sell-
ing agency which will sell up 'the
world’s markets the wheat be onging
to the association, which in turn has
{been furnished by the farmer-mem-
bers. An advance will be paid upon
the wheat at the time of delivery.
The wheat will be pooled according to
grade and sold when the central sell-
ing agency sees ﬁt. The balance of
the money will be paid through the
year in installments until the entire
amount received is [paid to the farm-
ers, except the cost of operating the
association. Each farmer will re-
ceive the net average price for the
grade of wheat into which his pro-
duct has fallen. _ . ‘

A strong effort will be made to se-
cure contracts covering 75 per cent of
the Wheat acreage of the prairie
provinces of the Canadian West be-
fore the association begins opera-
tions.
