WIS-State Dairy Interests Unite to Promote Industry

Committee Named to Make Survey of Dairy Situation and Recommend Methods for Combatting

, MOVEMENT that ‘ s-hould have been
EL A started long ago in this state was the
'me'eti'ng of the dairy interests held ‘ in
v-‘Lansing on January 11th for Ithe discussion of
the present crisis in which t‘he'dairy industry
ﬁnds itself and the appointment oi a represent-
ative committee to' study the problems'eonfront-
ing the industry. It is the ﬁrst attempt that has
been made to bring together the various factions
of the dairy organizations and consider the
problems of the fluid milk, condensary, and
cream producer under one and the same. mic-
roscope. *
‘A committee of 15 men was appointed. Five
of these members are the advisory committee or

R. C. Reedysecretary of the Milk Producers’
Association, diacussed co—operation lfrom the
following angle. “If any plan can.be devised
which will get better prices and marketing con—
ditions than the present, it is the duty of each
and all of us to co-operate.”
_ Fred Erickson, of Menominee County, the
only representative of the upper peninsula pres-
co-operative
creameries in the. Holstein section in ﬁnding a
market. Cheese is always 2c less than Chi-
cago market in his territory, he said. It has
to be taken twenty-mo to twenty-ﬁve miles to
cold storage and then sold at a loss. Many of
the farmers, he said, in that section of the state
would quit business it they had a market for
their cows. '
Milk Down to $2.50 in Detroit Area
Beginning with the ﬁrst of, February the pro-

\

ducers of the Detroit area will receive only
$2.50 per cwt. as compared with $3 at the pres-
ent time. This reduction, it is said, was accept,-
ed by 150. representatives of the various locals
of the Michigan Milk Producers' Ass’n at a
heated meeting in the Board of Commerce build-
ing at Detroit on Thursday.aiternoon or last
week. ,

The details of the meeting are reported by
the Detroit Free Press as follows:

“Pressure exerted on the producers by Detroit
distributing companies was responsible for the
reduction. William J. Kennedy, representing
the distributors, told delegates to the meeting
that a drop in the retail price-of ilk was an
economic necessity and that it could not be
brought about save by a cut in the price to the
producer. The smaller price, he asserted, would
result in stabilization of the industry.

“ ‘Milk consumption is declining steadily,’ he
asserted, ‘Every creamery in Detroit has a sup-
ply of cheese and other milk products which will
have to be disposed of at less than cost or
thrown away. Thousands .of milk consumers
are unable to pay bills, but the cream-
eries feel obliged to supply them.”

 

 

ty, said that his pound of «butter to
.ﬁve pounds of'_substitutes are being
used at the present time. ' He quoted
a merchant who, had said that he ship-
ped in oleomargari‘ne by- the, dray
load. Mr. Parmailee said that peo-'
ple were consuming less milk. in the
country now than ever before and
that one of thebasic problems of the
dairy industry was to increase the use
of dairy products on the farm ﬁrst.
Mr. I Elmer Mytrott,_ of Oakland
county, said that farmers were cut-
ting their heads otl.’ by not sticking by
one another. He believed state wide.
N organization was vitally important. He
said that no dealer with a surplus
plays the game square. -.
“There is no use for an organiza-
tion‘ unless farmers stick by- one an-
other and there ought to be a contract
to that effect which would last} for .
more than one year,” according to Mr. '
Boy Baker, of Hillsdale County.‘ Mr.
~Baker advised the establishment of
small condensaries well located to
take care. of the surplus. ' v
Milo Campbell, of Branch county,
said that one of the basic troubl was
the? old conflict of the near cit and
the country interests. “All agree,”
he said, “§hat_organization is abso-
lutely essential. Let an organization

He said that under the‘new price ar-
rangement the creameries would buy
the same amount of milk as at present,
themselves sustaining the loss should
any surplus be included.

Reduction Is Fair, Says Hull

“N. P. Hull, of Lansing, president
of the Michigan Milk Producers' asso-
ciation, said Thursday evening that
although a reduction in the price of
milk would work serious hardship
with the producer, the delegates to the‘
meeting believed the consumer should. 3
be given milk at a smaller cost in 1
view of employment conditions. “The
city man paid a good price for milk
during the war when he was prospen
ous,’ said Mr. Hull, ‘and now that he
is feeling the pinch of need the pro-
ducers think it no more than fair that
the price should be lowered.’

“Until February 1 the present price
of $3 to the producer will remain in
effect. The $2.50 ﬁgure will be effect-
ive from February 1 to March 1, when
the milk commission will change or
extend it. Thursday’s transactions
were independent of the milk commis-
sion, the distributors declaring the
need of reduction to be too urgent for
the commission’s consideration. The
commission will be asked to approve
the scale agreed upon by distributors
and producers." .

Popularity \

EVERAL-iactors help to mun why International
S Engines are popular wherever they are used. But

the most prominent reason is that they do the work"
their owners want done when it should be done.

International Engine owners know that if there is
feed to grind, the International will do it. If there is water .
to pump, the International will pump it. The same is true
with wood sawing, churning. chopping iced, fanninﬁ grain,
etc..etc. The lnternationalwill tnmthetrlcir, whenyou
give it a chance

In accomplishing this. International Engines use
low-grade fuels. They are simple to operate—many tamer
boys not yet in their teens start and operate International
Engines with ease. ‘

International Engine: have built-in magnetos, re-
placeable cylinder liners, enclosed crank cases. They are
hopper-cooled, and have many other valuable foetuses.

The Accredited Herd Campaign 9

accredited herd campaign

I which started December 7th has
made excellent progress and nine-
teen meetings had been held up to
the ﬁrst of January, including meet-
ings at Flint. Lapeer, Mount Clem-
ens, Saginaw, Bay City, O'wosso, San-
dusky, Howell, Ypsilanti, Ida, Ply-
mouth, Jackson, Hlllsdale, Hudson,
Adrian, Marathon, Hastings, Farm-

lngton and Gallon. Two other meet- ‘

lngs during this time, one at Care
and the other at Holland were post-
poned, lateness of trains making it
impossible to meet the schedules.
These will undoubtedly be held at
some later date, as well as a number
or other meetings. ,
Local arrangements are being
handled by the Farm Bureau and
county Holstein organizations, where
such exist, and in counties which
are not lortunate enough to have 10-
cal organizations, individual breed-
ers arrange for the meetings. Dr.
T. S.’ Rich, Federal Inspector in
charge of Tuberculosis Eradication

THE record of previous years
can be taken as a barometer of
, future-potato prices it is reason-
able to suppose that the potato mar-
ket on the ‘ 1920 crop has already
reached its crest and that the future
trend will be downward, with pos-.
sibly occasional bnt slight .upward'
spurts.

As has already been pointed out in
these columns the 1920 crop was the
second largest on record. Encour-

, aged by the high potato prices which
 prevailed the previous years farmers
in the commercial potato states
planted 3,929,000._acres which was
about 23,000 acres less than were
planted in 1919. But here is the
surprising thing. Instead of these
acres producing an average yield of
95.9 bushels as in 1918 and 90 bush-
els “in 1919, they produced 109.6
' bushels to the acre. And that extra
19.0 bushels over 90 bushels in 1919
on virtually the" same acreage pro-
duced a crop greater by nearly, 75
million bushels than the 1919 crop.
But instead of adding to the farm-
er's wealth, that 75 million bushels,
strange as it may seem, is‘likely to
detract from his wealth. On Dec.
1st, 1919, the farm price of potatoes
for the United States was $1.60. Fig-
uring the entire crop at that price,
it was worth in round numbers 568
million dollars. The farm price for
the 1920 crop on Dec. lst was $1.16,
I which applied to the entire crop
would indicate a value of only 498
million dollars. Or a ,crop of 75
- million dollars loss than the 1919
crop. Can you ﬁnd any argument
there in favor of maximum produc-
tion?

some interesting conclusions from a
comparison of potato yields and pric-

. as for the past ten years. This com—

parison is shown graphically in the
chart on this page. Please note in
examining the chart that the price
trends are ﬁgured not according to
the calendar year but to the “mar-
ket” year, or the period in which the

. bulk of the crop is marketed.

“In this table,” says The Potato
Magazine, “a comparison of the De-
camber and the following March
prices shows that in 1917 and 1918
the March prices were lower than
the December prices, and in 1912
and 1914 they were slightly higher,

in all years having a production of
more than 400,000,000 bushels the
March price was either lower than
the December price or the increase
was negligible. When the produc-
tion has been less than 375,000,000
bushels, the price has tended to in-
crease as the season advances. The
farmer may judge for himself wheth-
er the same factors will apply to the

Bureau of Crop Estimates, and he
may apply his own conclusions in de-
ciding when to sell his potatoes.

“Before attempting to analyze the l
relations between the ﬁgures of pro-
duction and stocks on the one hand
and prices on the other, it should be
mentioned that potatoes are not en-
ported to any great extent, seldom
more than one per cent of the crop
being carried out of the country.
Neither are potatoes carried over
from one season to another, as is
the case with some crops. That is,
the potato crop is practically all con«
sumed in this country and each sea-
son’s crop is a separate problem in i
itself.

“This is one of the large potato
years and the way in which the ques-
tion of time of marketing is settled
by the individual farmer means an
immense sum of money in the gross
returns from one of the nation‘l

HE Michigan Agricultural College
will probably have to suﬂer a cut
in its appropriations for the next
two years. We little appreciate what a
blow this might be to Michigan agricul-
ture until 'we “learned that it would un-
doubtedly mean curtailing the work that
in being done by the College in educat-
in: muck land farmers to treat their
lmdso that it will produce sugar beets
of higher sugar content, We wonder if
it has ever occurred to the College au-
thorities that the only persons in the en-
tire State of Michigan who are benefit-
ted as a\result of such experiments are
the handful who own the stock of the
beet sugar factories? We wonder if it
would make any difference anyway with
Mr. W, H, Wallace sitting on the Board
of Agriculture."——Dec. 12th issue Mich-

" IS NOT'my intention to create
a mountain seeing a mole hill,”

 376 $

writes Ezra Levin, M. A. C.’s man.

‘hnd specialist, appropos the above
‘_ comment.

“It may be true that this is a
pas! on the ﬁres prepared for the
sugar factories in Michigan. If that
,were all, we would pass it by; but
this type of thinking and writing de-
mands comment from those who be-
Have in greater and happier Michi-
gan agricultuie. There are those of
us who believe that farmers’ co-oper-
ative sugar factories are possible
and sure to come. But we do not
delude ourselves into believing that
this will come by aught else but
straight, clean, square competition.

“Facts, constructive; reliable, au-
thentic information is the basis for
the formation and organization of
any business. Economical, indus—
trial and psychological facts. What
are the financial and productive da-
ta? Will it pay over a series of

, years? Can the farmers of Michigan
.run this business for themselves?
Are the organizing heads available
for such a task? These are the
questions that business farmers ask
themselves.

“Some are also asking, was there
and is there now one constructive,
carefully planned motive in all this
bitterness, in all this vitriol which
has broken up communities, sowed
hatred broadcast, and destroyed the
tranquility, peace and good will of
neighbors?

“What has all this to do with the
muck investigations at the Agricul-
tural College and the bit of harmless
criticism in the statement quoted?
Very simply this: As a student of
soils. I am interested in the" better-
ment of the Beet Sugar Industry, in-
terested in all that will tend to main-
tain the Industry and give those en-
gaged in it the greatest measme of
good for life and happiness. I am
interested in increasing the sugar
content of sugar beets because it
aids the industry. '

“As is well known to muck farm-
ers, muck beets have been discrim-
inated against. One company, based
on numerous analyses have refused
to take muck beets. Judging by the
methods that we have witnessed this
last year, should we convince the
sugar factories by calling them
,names, by going up and down the
state breathing ﬁre and branding
them cuttthrats and robbers or are
we to carry out the investigations
and determine the facts, bring, the
facts to the attention of the factor-
ies, namely, that the low sugar con-
.tent is due to the lack of certain in-

vgredients which may be supplied to
the soil. Incidentally, wOuld it not
be a good plan to determine the his-
tory of this Phase of the sugar indus-
try in which beets Were bought on
test and the reasons for abandoning
,the same before making such com-
.ment as will create more and more
' antagonism.

. “Not only is it my duty to con-
‘ struct, build, anything which will aid

* . the industry, but I must be unalter-
v . ably opposed to all that is destruct-

ive to the industry. The present
*policy of some of those who have as-
sumed the tremendous task of agri-
,jicultural leadership and who are sub-
stituting agitation and talk, for .ed-
location and facts, is viciously danger-
ous and threatens the industry. As

ing and writing. I am opposed to
all that is destructive to the indus-
try. ~

“I still believe that the evidence
produced up to date by those oppos-
ed and those defending the sugar
factories, that the balance is in fav-
orof the point of view that the
sugar factories and their managers
,are a tremendous, unquestionable as-
set to Michigan and it has not been
shown that we can do without them
and still maintain the‘industry. I
do not say that there will not come
a time when ,it will be shown that
,the farmers’ co—operative sugar fact-
ory will be successful and‘proﬁta'ble
,in Michigan. I believe in it but it
has not been shown to date.

“Most of us who favor such a pro-
Cedure will not lend themselves to
petty, vicious, emotional, spell-bind«
ing and agitation but will meet
these men who have helped build
,the sugar industry and with whom
.we do business in a clean, straight,
square man to man competition. If
we want a sugar factory we will
either buy one or build one.

"‘The farmer is not against big
business, he is out to do big business,
.to compete with big business and he
will no more enter big business by
agitation and vindicative'malice than
.the captain of industry would be
drawn into an investment by such a
means. . Like the man said who was
asked to put his money into a scheme
for turning brass into gold, ‘I be-
lieve in- it but I wouldn’t. bet my
,money on it.’ That’s the point.
.When those of us put our money in
a sugar factory, we want facts, bas-
ed on a series of years, facts about
the management, men who can man-
age, men who are capable of sitting
(in a'Board of Directors. We may
believe in it, believe absolutely in
co-operative factories but how many
of us are ready to put our money
into it?

“Frankly, this spell-binding, bait-
ing of big, business, blinding reason
with rancor and bitterness not only
makes us weary bu-t defeats the very
end of a logical and scientiﬁc study
of_the facts which will bring about
real, true co-operation.”—Ezra Levin.

Levin Spirit Reveals Secret College Failure

RDINA R I L Y w 6
would pass Mr.
Levin's letter by without notice.

Personally we are not interested
in what Mr. Levin thinks about THE
BUSINESS FARMER or anything else
and we don’t suppose our readers are
either. The only justiﬁcation that
we can claim for using so much
space to reply to his diatribe is be-

cause it reflects the general sentie

ment prevalent at the M. A. C. tow-
ard Tun BusINEss FARMER and the
farmers of Michigan who are seeking
to solve their economic prdblems, and
should, therefore receive attention.
There have been many charges made
against the College’s indifference if
not actual opposition to the farmers'
economic efforts, but Mr. Levin has

‘been the ﬁrst representative of the

College to publicly confess the fact.

What ‘Has the College Done?

Says Mr. Levin: “This type of
thinking and writing (employed by
THE BUSINESS FARMEB) demands
comment from those who believe in
a greater and happier Michigan agri-
culture." ' '

It is pertinent to ask how a green:—
er and happier Michigan agriculture

-. can best be attained. Will it be by

following thetrails that were blaz-
ed a century ago, sticking stubborn-
ly to the exploded theory that the
more blades of” grass which the
farmers grow the more prosperous
they will become, and. putting ob-

.stacles in the way of organizations

which would secure a fair proﬁt to
the farmer on his first blade of grass
before the second is grown? Or is
that happier day to come by blazing
new trails and wiping out the. waSte,
inefﬁciency and costliness of the
present marketing system which re-

turns ‘to the farmer less than half of ,

the sum which the. consumer pays for

his products? It lathe theory of TH]: ‘

o . .

A careful reading of Mr. Levin's
letter might lead one to think that
the College had ‘been making a. “log-
ical and scientiﬁc study of the facts
which will bring about real, true co-
operation,” between the sugar man-
ufacturers and the beet growers. But
that is not the case. The facts are
that the College have looked upon
the controversy between the beet
growersand the manufacturers ,as
something in which it had no busi-
ness to meddle. For four consecu~
tive years the beet growers have
been seeking facts to back up their
claims for a higher ,price for 'their
beets. Did they get any help from
the College? Did this “square deal"
loving Levin,
“scientiﬁc” college heads, or the gov-
erning board of this “farmer’s col-
lege” make one single effort to in-
vestigate the costs of the beet grow-
ers or the proﬁts of the manufactur-
ers, and bring abouta better under-
standing between the two? Certain-
ly not. Why should they or how

help of the College, and using iden-

Thoso Muck Land Experiments

When we published the offending :1 1

paragraph reprinted at the head of
Mr. Levin’s letter, ’we didn't intend
to take serious exception to the
muck land experiments in * dues-
‘tion. The sole purpose of the editor-,7- .
ial was to emphasize the incongruity
of having a sugar manufacturer on.
the Board of Agriculture and the
possibility of how his presence might
naturally have an influence upon/the
policies of the college. But since
:Mr. 'Levin has thrown down .the
gauntlet and declared that this‘ type

'of thinking is “vicious” and so on,

and persists in defending his exper-

iments with muck lands for the grow-

ing of beets of higher sugar content, .
we will go further. We will say

that we are, unalterably opposed to

spending one nickel of the taxpay-

ers" money for this""purpose unless .V
and until the price of beets is ﬁgured

according to the sugar content. Then

it will pay each individual farmer to

produce beets of higher’sugar con-

tent. , ‘

It would seem that the pure-
ly “scientiﬁc” method of making ‘
the muck lands the most proﬁtable‘ 7
would be‘ to discover and sug-‘
gest crops best. adapted to _
type, of soil instead of trying to
"make them over” to grow crops bet- '
ter adapted to some other soil. There
are ample lands in Michigan to grow
all the sugar beets the present fact-
ories can slice without spending any
money in v scientiﬁc experiments,
which may or may not be successful
to bring other lands not naturally
adapted to the growing of beets into
competition with the natural beét
lands. Such a proposal seems as in-
defensible as would be an attempt to
coax heavy clay soils into growing
potatoes on a’commercial scale: But
then .we suppose that even this tres—
pass upon common sense would be,
excused upon the grounds of “scien-
tiﬁc research," and the necessity of
providing some budding specialist
with an opportunity to try out his
pet theories. , . r ,

THE Busmnss FABMEB is in thor-
ough accord withthe excellent record.
of scientiﬁc accomplishment claimed
by our agricultural college. It has
no desire to see practical scientiﬁc
investigation and experimentation
discontinued or curtailed. But itris

norm-MADE CHEESE ,

Will you print a recipe for making
home—made sweet milk cheese?—Mrs. S,
M.,Honor, Michigan. 1

Whole _milk should be removed
from the barn immediately and if it
is to be heldover night, itshould be
cooled at least to 60 degrees F. If the
milk isn’t. fairly rich, cream should
be added to make it so.

For one hundred pounds of sweet
milk one rennet tablet, one-ﬁfth col-
oring tablet and salt to taste will be
required. ‘About 2 1-2 pounds of salt
per one hundred pounds of curds is
neCessary'. I

The morning's milk can be placed
in the cheese vat at 'once and mixed
with the night’s milk if desired, and

 

d "the whole heated to 86 degrees F.

Stir the rennet tablet, which has
been dissolved in two tablespoons of
water, into’ the milk. Then stir into
this mixture one-ﬁfth of a cheese col-
oring tablet, also dissolved in two
’ Let stand 20
to ‘30 minutes until it forms a curd.

" Cut into squares with a butcher knife

and heat to 98 degrees F. and - let
stand until the whey separates. Strain
through cloth or wire strainer. Salt
to taste. Put' curd into press which
has been lined with cheese cloth.
Either use cheese hoops or a pail

 

punched full of holes for a press.
Press about 24 hours. Allow cheese
to ripen in a cool place for 30 days.
Grease cheese (sometimes butter is
used) daily for 10 days. Keep in a
cool dry place

All materials and equipment need-
ed to make cheese in a small way can
be supplied by any dairy supply com-
DaDY- -

In order to make cheese on the
farm, one must care for the milk and
aim to produce a product which is
free from foreign taints and from gas
producing organisms. Both of thes
have greater effect upon cheese tha
they have on butter. Foreign taints
will cause an off-flavored cheese,
while gas producing organisms will
cause the cheese to swell and break
open. Both of these undesirable con-
ditions will be eliminated by using
ordinary sanitary precautions in
handling milk. Have all utensils
that come in contact with the milk

free from rust and all seams soldered,

ﬂush so that dirt cannot lodge in
them for these will furnish excellent
places for gas producing organisms
to develop and gain entrance into the
milk. The utensils should be scalded
or steamed after washing, especially
where gas producing organisms are
known to be in the watch—Associate
Editor. “

 

BURNING PRIVATE PAPERS

COLLISION

We were out after dark and as we
reached home and went to turn into our
yard there was another car coming from
the opposite direction and we collided.
Both cars Were badly damaged, Now
who is responsible for the loss? Both
cars had their lights on. The road runs
north and south and our buildings are
on the west side of the road—C, J.
Brighton, Mich.

The one who turned into the path
of the other car would be the negli-
gent party and one liable for the
damage unless the oncoming car
could see the other car was turning
'in to the gate and had plenty of
‘t-ime to guard against the accident.

FREEZING IN SILO

Will silage freeze quicker in a tile
silo than a wooden one? Some have
told me that frost gets into a tile silo

I have been thinking of getting a tile

silo and would like to hear from two or
three readers who have them,—-L. V.,

The Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion at Ames, Iowa, has conducted in-
vestigations along this line with the
following results:
~“Temperature readings have been
taken for ﬁve winter seasons in three
silos on the college campus—wood
stave, monolithic concrete and hollow
tile. In each silo thermometers were
placed at the inside of the north wall
and also in the central part of the
silo. The purpose of the work was to
ﬁnd out which type of silo wall at-
forded the greatest protection from .
free'ting.

BE ACCOMPANYING article is the substance of a letter received
by the editor from Mr. I. W. Byers of Crystalli‘alls, and is a most
able defense of laws and law enforcement. It deals with facts in-
stead of theories, and seems to prove ,that prosperity and happiness for
the greatest number goes hand in-hand with respect for and strict eLu-
forcement of the laws. I hope every reader will peruse it carefully.—

whatlvalue are the blue’lwws or for
that matter any laws? Why do we

want. them? I have asked this ques-‘

tion of a number of people above
the average of intelligence, recently.
No one can give an intelligent ans-
wer. They al-lcan tell you there is
money made in the violation oflaw

but how its enforcement beneﬁts any- ‘

body they don’t answer. ‘
There is a crying need for a cam.
paign along this line. General Park-
er used to tell his oﬂ‘icers to spend
as .much time in getting your men
to want to do a thing as you do in
having them do it. This is the key-
note to all successful education. Turn
to any journal or magazine, listen to
any pulpit or Chatauqua orator and
not a word is said of the value to
the individual or society of law on-
forcement. Violations of the laws are
pointed out. The laws themselves
are expounded, but not a word of
the value'in dollars and cents to
each" individual of law enforcement.
It is taken for granted, and like all
suchéth’iugs it does not exist.

:4.- The north from Maryland through

schools and little red school houses.
Our people have enough arms and
legs, aye sir, enough brains. They
lack the ﬁre. Who will give it to
them? Where is the prophet that
will preach it from the pulpit, the
forum, the market place and the
university rostrum?

The French people used to say,
“\Oh, how much better laws you have
in America." I would say, “I am a
lawyer. I have read your laws. You
have, if anything, better laws than
we have.” The answer was then
“Oh, yes, in America you respect the
laws. Here nobody respects the
law.” a

When we got to Germany every-
thing was different. A law was spok—
en of with respect, almost with rev—
erence. You can draw a line across
Europe and north of that line law is
respected. South of that it is never
spoken of with respect. And where
is life and property the safest? Where
is progress and prosperity for the
masses?

You can read that in the history
of this continent. The French coll-
onies’ were all failures. So were the
Spanish colonies. But where the
Anglo-Saxon or the Teuton settled,
there was respect for law. Take

every colony on the soil of the Unit»

ed States from Virginia south and
they were settled by renegades, es-

caped from debtor‘s prisons. 4
rights of the individuals were not re-
spected, that is why slavery flourish-
ed" there so long. They know it to-
is- why

to the rocky coast of

Maine were settled by
men who respected the rights of the
individual, who stood everywhere for
prder by law, not unbridled force.
They stood for convictions—religious
and legal;

And where has prosperity blessed
the land? The south has always had
the more genial climate, more fer-
tile soil. Compare the two sections
of the land today in wealth of dollars,
population, railroads, public high-
ways, cities, states and character for
that matter. Tell this to these peo-
ple‘ that are complaining about our
blue laws. The south was never bur-
dened with blue laws. Why do the
people not flock there? Why do the
‘people from the south of Europe
come to the north? Why don't they
go to the south where there ‘are no
blue laws? Why do we have so
many Irish policeman? The Irish
have no respect for the law. They
have the Celtic view, the Gallic view
——the south of Europe view. That
is why the Irish will never make a
success of self-government.

Why Sir, you know that you will
have your rights respected in every
English colony in the would, but un-
consciously you will carry a pistol
every time you set foot in a French'
or Spanish colony. Every statesman
in Europe knows this, that is why
England gets so much territory in
every peace, conference.

Who are the laws made for? The
rich man? No! A rich man cal
hire his watchman, buy his automatr
ics, build his strong rooms. The
laws are made for the poor, the weak.
the widows and the orphans. But

"just ask a dozen men on the street

who the laws are made for and nine
out of twelve will say, for the rich
man.

Where is the tongue or pen that
can paint this for the masses? You
,can have real’ genuine“ prosperity
only where you have law enforce-
ment, rule by reason- and right,
rather than by will and force of sel-
ﬁshness and. greed of a few. ‘

AJOR-General Tasha:- H. Bliss: “Dis-

. crinament is the only means of pre-

serving the world from bankruptcy and civil-
ization from ruin.” '

Baron d’Estournelles de Constant, chair-
man of the Air Commission of the French
Senate: “The piling up of armaments is cause

’ ing general bankruptcy, anarchy, and per-
petual and universal war. If governments,
after the lesson of the war; do not agree sim-
ultaneously to limit their armaments, they
commit suicide.” ' ' ~

~ Baron Hayashi, Japanese ambassador to
Great Britain: “It is foolish and tragic to
think of the big states of Great Britain, the

"“‘ United States, and Japan competing in a race

- for armament. Japan cannot afford it.”

General Pershing: “The world does not
seem to learn from experience. It‘would ap-
pear that the lessons of the past six years
should be enough to convineceverybody of the
danger of nations striding up and down the
earth armed to the teeth” .

Walter H. Long, M. P., ﬁrst lord of the
British admiralty: “In my speech’on the
estimates in the House of Commons this year
I exprest the hope that any competition of
the future would be in reduction, not in in-
crease of armaments My board and the gov-
ernment showed their sincerity. by bringing
forward no building program. We even did
not ﬁnish the ships then and now under con.
struction.” _

Weigh the above words carefully. They
.have been uttered by men holding the highest
rank in the naval and military affairs of the
leading nations. They show a unanimity of
thought, namely, that there should come about
gradual disarmament among all nations. Five
years ago the man who preached disarmament
was a crank and a fool and a paciﬁst. But
now it looks as if the entire world, with the
exception of the United States congress, were
a bit “cracked.” We havesome men in Con-
gress who believe in disarmament. We have
others who believe that might makes right and
the only way to keep the nations of the world
good is by force. Such men as these are two
thousand years behind the times. They have
no business representing"the. people of the
United States in congress. _ The military has

spoken. Let the people also speak, not singly

i nor weakly, but in such a powerful unison that r

f the ears, of Congress ‘will hear and the mind of

l Congress will be forced into tune with the un-

z iversal spirit for disarmament. A

Count The Cost

BOYS AND GIRLS who yearn for the
bright lights of the city should count the
terrible price which so many have had to pay
for their few brief hours of fleeting pleasure
within the gates of the modern Gomorrahs.
Statistics say that ninety-two per cent of the
boys and girls who “go wrong” in the great
city of New York come from the rural dis-
tricts. This does not mean that the youth of
the 00th is more immoral than. the youth
of the city, but it does mean that it is more
susceptible to evil because of its trust in man-.
kind and its vast ignorance of the ways of
Vice. - ~

The city holds forth an appeal which few
peeple are able to, resist The love of lifeand
action is strong within the heart of man, and

‘ the tide of the city’s humanity flowing rest-

lessly, turbulently, eternally upon its way of
busineSs and pleasure, draws the rural travel-

‘ er irresistibly within the flood. But even to

the last of those who are swalloWed up within
the ‘maelstrom of gayety and forbidden pleas-
ures, all are some day cast back upon the shore
soiled and broken from the voyage.

I know of not a single lawful pleasure which
.the city allot-(k that cannot be had within the
environs of the farm and rural community.
True, the lights are not so bright, and the riv-
er of life runs not quite so swift, but that is
all the more reason why th'h pleasures of coun-
try life should be all the more enduring.
“Pleasures,” says Burns, “are like poppies
spread; you seize, the ﬂower, its bloom is
shed.” And those who' have followed the
elusive trail of the ‘city’s delights will testify
that they are as deceptive as i the poppy’s
bloom and deadly as its juice. .

 

What’s Wrong With. The College?
CHESTNUT that’s almost as ancient as
“Why does a chicken cross the roadl” is,

“what’s wrong with the College?” The De-
troit News is seeking to answer thﬂ: question
in a series of articles by Fred Janette,'its ag-
ricultural writer, who.has spent ‘a number of
months visiting the agriCultural colleges of
the country and comparing their work with
that of the M. A. C. That the farmer’s col-
lege in this state lacks that friendly, intimate
contact with the farmers which is essential to
the utmost co-operation between, the two is
pretty generally conceded. But the key to
the trouble has never been discovered. Per-

Farm Bureau Invades Manufacturing Field
THE STATE farm bureau has engaged

in a  which will be watched with
intent by forum all over the Un‘. States.
.It is man - ‘ the coarser grades of

wool in pool at the Lansing warehouses, into,

woolen blankets and garments. It is thus
hoped to take from the market a considerable
portion of oil-grade wool for which there is

virtually no demand but the presence of] '
which naturally weakens the market for the

higher grade stud, and manufacture it int'o
commodities for which a demand can be cre-
ated. .We have never been able to discover
any satisfactory reason why farmers cannot
manufacture their wool, grind their sugar,
mill their wheat, manufacture and distribute
.their milk and pack their live stock products
when itappears to their advantage to do so.

 

 It .Out of the Farmer
IN FOUR months the price of milk to the
producer supplying the city of Detroit has
dropped from $4 to $2.50 per cwt., a cut of
nearly forty per cent. In the same length of
time the price to the consumer has dropped
from 16 cents to 13 cents, a. decline of less
than twenty per cent.’ Why the farmers
shouldbeaskedtoacceptalossduringthis
readjustment period while the distributors are
permitted to reap their customery proﬁts is
someﬂiing that our poor intelligence can neith-
er understand norms. The worst feature
of this dmsﬁon is not the temporary losses
suﬁered by the farmers, but the eﬁect which
the unquestioned acceptance of the situation
by the farmers may have upon their future
dealings with the distributors. When milk
was bringing the farmer $4 per cwt. his rep-
resentatives stoutly maintained that he could
not produce it for lea and stay in the bus-
iness. Yet, today he accepts a price forty per
cent less without complaint. - Can you blame
the consumer if he puts the farmer down as a
“gay deceiverl” '

 

The Doctor’s Bill ’ -_

SOME PEANUT legislator, we are told, will

introduce a bill in the present session to‘
compel doctors to desist from their timc-hon-
cred, practice of charging for their services
according to the ability of their patients to
pay, and adopt a uniform scale of charges.
But why stop there? If it is right to dictate
to the doctor what he shall charge for his ser-
vices, it is right to dictate to the lawyer, the
manufacturer, the merchant and the farmer.
Prevent the doctor from charging the wealthy
patient more than he does the poor patient

.  the poor" would imrnediately ﬁnd medical

 beyond their reach. The only way
that doctors can make a decent living and
charge the poor only nominal prices for their
sernces is by charging the rich in proportion

to their wealth. This is an indirect charity 7
which the rich can well slim-d to pay and "

which the meat of them are willing to pay.

I have talked with several Farm
Bureau mom-hers and not one seems
to be in favor of continuing the state
\ It looks to me as
though tricksters and politicians got
into tarm organizations for the pur-
pose of compromising them and to
‘make it appear that the farmer is
favorable to their schemes. If we
can’t keep that class from leading
and dominating our organizations
there is no reason for expecting any
good to come from organization but
when they once get in it is hardjo
root them out. .

I can't sympathise with Mr. Scully

tion in regard to Sunday legislation.

HAVE read ‘both of your ap-

people of Europe and most cor»
tainly sympathize most deeply with
them. I am enclosing check for all the
money which is available at the pres-
ent time. ‘I wonder if the relief
committee realizes that the farmers
are very hard up for money while
their cellars are stocked with pota-
toes etc., which they cannot sell. I
believe that it they had been called
on to contribute foodstuffs there
would have been plenty given to
feed all the starving little ones over
there. In our own case, we could
have given two dollars worth of
provisions easier than one in cash
and I know there are manyxmore
that could and would do the same.
We like your paper very much and
hope you will continue your good

mittee has ﬁgured out exactly the kinds

and it had to de rid upon the volts-t

it would soon ﬁnd it program entirely "
upset by receiving too much of one or-
ticle and too little of another. Also the
handling of tens of thousands of separa-
ate shipments afrom all parts of the
country would entail an endless amount
of labor and confusion. ‘1 think the bob-v
ter plan is to raise the money by popu-.
lar subscriptiOn among those whom

YOUR BOB AND MY BE'I'I‘Y

.’ NE OF the most interesting and
certainly the most appealing
creatures on the face of this old

, earth is a little child. Placed here
not of his own volition; given into our
care, to train, to spoil, to love or to
neglect, surely our Creator has placed
much conﬁdence in us to give us such
a trust, and if the result is not all we
might wish we may search ourselves
for the reason.

Born with, certain hereditary ten-
dencies, placed in an environment not
often ideal, we have no right either to
expect perfection or to be satisﬁed
with much less.

The training of a child should from
the ﬁrst be a preparation for daily al-
most homely choice. We may use “pre-

' cept upon precept, here a little and

there a little," with inﬁnite patience,
with. understanding and with much hu~
mility, help to build the character, the
mind and the body, that in the end
there may be strength in all these
things to run the race without us, to
stand alone and perchance to outdis-
tance us in all particulars and thus
carry on the advancement of the race
toward that more perfect result which
evolution demands.

The kindergarten [principle that pre-

' vention is ‘better than punishment is a.

good one... . Suggestion rather than ad-

monition, say do rather than don’t.

EAR CHILDREN: The ﬁrst let-
D ters received regarding New
, Year resolutions arrived a week
ago last Wednesday. There were three
in one mail all from girls, and they
contained resolutions which are hard
to beat. I will not tell much ..about
them as I am publishing them so you
‘ may read them yourselves but I want
to mention one resolution made by
two of the three girls. They resolved
to attend Sunday School every Sun-
day.- I think this is one of the best
things they could decide to do, don’t
you? Every girl and boy, and man
and woman too, should attend Church
and Sunday Schdol every Sunday
they possibly can.

We go to school to learn the his-
tory of our country and how our
country is governed and of the great
men who have and do direct the gov-
ernment. At Sunday School and
Church we learn or God who rules the
entire world above all human beings.
Wecould do nothing in this world
without God’s help. Sometimes we
mhy think God does not love us be:
cause everything goes to the opposite
* of, what we want it to but He does

POETRY ‘ ‘
INE peotry, like good music, must
have a well ‘ marked rythm or
beat, and should be heard to be
thoroughly enjoyed. ‘ This truly ap-
plies to the poems of Paul Laurence
Dunbar, the colored song writer. His»
verses of darky life ;are fascinating
and are written by one who truly un-
derstands his subject.

The one published on this page is
chosen from a very attractive book of
verse called, “Joggin’ lErlong.” It is
beautifully illustrated with photo-
graphs taken from living subjects and ‘
attractively bound in red bandanna.

and many a serviceable horse sells

priceshave prevented any large
amount of busihess being done in
connection with the wool' pools; an-
other year will determine whether
the Farm Bureau is to become a large
factor in the‘ ﬁxing of prices ‘or
whether it 'will simply beanother

think the present is a good time for
one wishing to engage in breeding of
pure bred stock to make a begin—
ning. He can do so with far less
capital than. formerly and can pro-
cure- foundation stock of a quality
that would have been out of the
queston a couple of years ago, and
by the time he has stock ready for
sale, times will'without a doubt have
become normal. My advice to all
stock breeders is to make this a
time to improve the quality of their
flocks and herds, if curtailment is
imperative do it by discarding the
less desirable and above all things
let us keep up our heads.”

The sheep conference was largely
attended because of the rock bottom
market in wool. James N. McBride
described the wool situation from
the international angle. He said
thatmore wool was shipped into the
United States this year than was pro-
duced here, and that the difference
in exchange gave an 110 premium to
foreign producers if they shipped
their wool into the United States.

LEVIN SPIHT REVEALS SECRET
COLLEGE FAILURE
(Continued from page 4)
of their success may be placed before
thefarmers of Michigan, well and
good; if it means taking the leader—
ship in price controversies between
. farmers and those to whom they sell,
that also is but in keeping with the

true functions of a farm college.

How woefully the Michigan Agri-
cultural College has failed cf its mis—
sion is a matter of lengthy record.
Not only have the farmers been cog—
nizant of this failure, but it has also
been sensed by the biggest metropol-
itan newspaper in the state which
has prepared a series of article dis-.
cussing at length the shortcomings
of the College, pointing out the re-
actionary influence of certain mem-
ber. of the board of control, and
showing by comparison how the ag-
ricultural colleges of other states
' have far outstripped the M. A. C., in
point of attendance, accomplishment;
and prestige. THE BUSINESS anm
has secured permission to reprint
this series of articles for the beneﬁt
of its readers who are or ought to be
interested in the M. A. 0., an-d with
the sincere hope in mind that the in—
formation so conveyed may bring
about the desired changes in the per-
sonnel of the board and the policies
of the present management, which
are necessary, before the college can
function properly.

This series of articles will tell you
the reason why a certain county
agent who appeared before the Milk
Commission with irrefutable argu-
ments showing ,that farmers were
losing money at the then prevailing.
price of milk, was "called oi!" before
he could make his speech by a mem-
ber of the College board who re-
Imind-ed him that he was overstep-
ping his duties. They may also ex-

 ‘ “ZUNERRING accuracy of the
A - age oldadages: “history repeam

another’.’ is being amply 
ed in connection with current devel-
opments in ﬁnancial and trade cir-
cles, both in this country and in Eur-
ope. On the crest of the recent in-
mtion period, the volume of buying
operations rose to tremendous di-
mensions and 'production outdid all
previous reCords in a vain attempt to
keep up with the demand. All at
once, without warning, everybody
ﬂopped buying, manufactured pro-
ducts began to accumulate in the
warehouses of the country; the ces-
sation of buying operations was soon
followed by the closing down of the
factories and the rank and ﬁle of
the people, who had 00 recently do-
dared a buyers’ strike to last until

prices were reduced, were
nddenly deprived of a chance to
earn money with which to buy the

" . much-needed articles when the time
' ‘0! lower prices arrived. The habit

of buying nothing, which was resort»
edtoasaprotestagainst thehigh-
handed practices of certain so-called
proﬁteers still persists and will con-
iinue for an‘indeﬂnite period, simp-
ly, because the purchasing public is
minus the funds with which to do
business.

. Before the purchasing operations
of the public at large can rise to
normal proportions, the great army
of laboringmen, which are the real
backbone of the country, must be
given fairly remunerative employ-
ment. Recent newspaper reports in-
dicate that the army of the unem-
ployed is being slowly cut down: in

 numbers by resumption of manufad—

.uring activities. That the demand

for manufactured articles of all kind
exists, both in this country and in
Europe, is a self-evident fact and all
that is needed is the money with
which to make the purchases. An
improved demand for footwear and
harnesses is lending stability to the
hide market. The arrival of cold
weather is stimulating the demand
for woolen goods and heavy suitings,
factsthataresuretoresultinan
improved demand for wool. The
market for raw cotton and the trade
in cotton “futures” are both

up because ofa greatly increased in-
quiry for cotton cloth. All of the
developments, mentioned above,

' must be taken as the forerunners of

better business; the improvement is
sure to be slow but every step in the
up-grade will make for a lasting and
permanent progress which will, in
the end, result in the establishment
of the equitable relations, between
buyer and seller, which beget conﬁ-
dence and stimulate consumption.
With the advent of the new year
the New York Stock market which
had been on the downgrade for many
months, fulﬁlled to the letter a. pm-
diction made in this paper on the
last week in December and started
up the line at a merry clip; many of
the motors and other leading indus-
trialstockshad atento twenty
point raise. Some of the gain has
been lost, it is true, but many of the

most staple issues are still 10 to 15

points above the recent low point.

Sterling exchange has been steadily

rising, of late, as a perfectly natural

result of the refunding of English

.iinancial obligations and their re-
‘ placement with long time securities
which can easily be met without ser-
ious embaraassment to the British
government.

Up until the closing days'of last
week the Detroit wheat market was
very active, then the heavy selling by
big interests. which had been going
on all the week, along with reports
that expert buying was about over
began to affect the market and the
strength deserted it. Even the news
received Friday that England had
purchased 600,000 bushels and Ger-
many had bargained for 300,000
bushels did not help the bull side of
the market. Many dealers have de—
cided foreigners have bought all they
are going to of us, for a few months
at least, and will now go to Argen-
tine for their supplies while other
dealers, fully as large, bullishly be-
lieve this country has already over-
exported and will run into serious
diiliculties later when supplying our
home trade. The wheat market
opened in Chicago this week with
enldrged_ export buying and the
prices advanced sharply. It is re-
ported the bulk of the orders came
from Germany and Italy. The sea-
board demand did not show up to
any extent in Detroit. Milling de-
mand is light and bakers are on the
bearish side of the fence. Reports

' are about that 3 5c loaf of bread

weighing 11 ounces has made its ap-
pearance in New York stores.

Although corn ﬁrmed up and ad-

exporting of wheat dealers are pull-

trade is expected in this grain but
dealers say it will require active buy-

the market; they are banking on the

in movement of corn to mar-
ket in the southwest and not enough
demand to take care of it all. Our
crop correspondents throughout
Michigan report very little corn go-
ing to market in this state. Corn on
the Detroit market did not feel the
upward turn, of wheat.

 

RYE
There is very little to say” about
rye. Foreigners are'apparently well
supplied with this grain, for a time
at least. and are out of the market
which leaves it dull. Detroit is
quoting No. 2 at $1.70.

Owts and corn are sworn pals on
the Detroit market again and as
corn goes so goes cats. This friend-
ly relation was also felt in Chicago,
oats advancing along with corn, al-
though they did not reach as high
levels. The Detroit market is dull
and easy.

The bean market has had’a most
refreshing period of recovery from
its long stagnation. While there are
no changes in the prices that have
prevailed for several weeks past the
tone of the market is most encour-
aging. Demand is improving and
whatever surplus stocks there may
have been on the market seem to be
getting pretty well cleaned up. it
is universally conceded that beans
should react first of all crops to any
improvement in the general market
situation. Improved business condi-
tions which have been noted the past
couple weeks are expected to react

One of the new and important dis-
coveries is the cause that locates the

enter east 01 and sometimes west of
the Rockies. The storms of this win-
ter have been and will continue to
enter from west of the Rockies, some
of them as far south as northern

facts because they control the loca-
tion of rain. snow and temperatures.
A storm that enters thru northern

reason to believe that with the  

Potato prices rule steady at the

level reached several weeks ago. In
spite of colder weather which usual-
ly stimulates the price temporarily
there have been few changes. The
Detroit market has ranged from
$2.40 to $2.75'per 100 pounds for
some weeks past. Supplies are not
overly abundant but with the pota-
toes placed in early storage are
ample to meet requirements. 8hr
age ﬁrms and dealers alike are who
to the large stocks in the hands at
the farmers and show no inclination
to stock up heavily,~ There may be a
slight improvement in thecity prim
[within another thirty days provid-
ing the cold weather continues on-
abated but it is unlikely that its,
effect will be felt in the remote come
try districts. The farmers of Miniv-
igan should have storage warehous-
es in the larger cities so that thq
could secure the beneﬁt of temporary
bulges in the market instead of the
local middleman.

Chicago on Monday,...lanuary 10. The
best western fed lambs began the
week in Chicago at $12 per cwt. and
the top for aged ewes $5.50. Pack-
ers bought a large number of tairly
good‘dry ewes on Monday of last
week for $4.25 to 84.75 per ch;
culls sold down to $2 per cwt. All
of the markets of the country were
decidedly sheepy at the beginning of
last week, twenty leading western
points showing 122,000; seven out of
the above number got 83,000, which
was 33,000 more than one week ago.
With, another big run on \Tuesday,
lambs sold another quarter lower for
the day but sheep and yearlings held
steady. Smaller receipts came to
hand in Chicago on Wednesday of
last week and prices were quoted
higher all along the line; fed lambs
sold for $12.10 and one ﬁne bunch
of aged ewes made a new top of
$6.26 per cwt. Feeding lambs have
been ﬂrm all the week under abnor-
mally light supplies; the best “come-
back” lambs are selling for $10 per
cwt. -
For the ﬁrst two days of last week
Chicago got 149,000 hogs and going
prices slipped down within 10 cents
per cwt. of the low price for the sea-
SOn in that market. It was noticed,
however, that buyers were more eag-
er for the hogs than on any of the
other big runs of the year and the
closing trade, on Tuesday, showed a
ﬁrmness and activity that bodes well
for the immediate future )of the
trade. The fact that since Nov. 1,
this year, Chicago has packed 500,-
000 less hogs than for the same per-
iod last year and that nearly all oth-
er markets show a big falling off in
fall and winter receipts of hogs ar-
gues for a marked ﬁrming up of live
hog values as soon as the season's
big runs are over. During the past
ten days Chicago has had a tremend-
ous shipping demand, hogs being
billed out for nearly every part of
country, proving conclusively that
interior supplies of fat hogs are Just
about exhausted. Another develop-
ment which argues for higher hog
prices during the next 30 days is the
fact that hogs are selling higher at
Missouri river points than in Chig
cage. The writer takes this oppor-
tunil‘ir to predict a rise in live hog
values, during the next 40 days, of
more than $2 per cw’t.
Detroit Market Conditions

The cattle trade opened in Detroit
on Monday morning, Jan. 10 with
prices for handy killing kinds a
triﬂe higher than the close of the
week before but before the day was
over the demand slackened and the
close was decidedly dull with all of
the early gain lost. The outstand-
ing feature of the Detroit cattle
market during the past week has
been the poor demand for heavy cat-
tle of all kinds. This week’s open-
ing trade was dull andunchanged.
Sheep and lambs have been dull and
featureless with heavy lambs selling
at a sharp discount. The local trade
in dressed veal 'calves has been.
about the worst of the season; top
calves around $14 to $15 per cwt.
and heavy thin calves‘slm‘ost unsal-
able. Detroit has been badly out of
line on hogs, all the week, the price
$9.25 for mixed hogs, on Tuesday of
last week, being fully 25 cents per
cwt. too low compared with outside
markets. The opening this week
was steady with last week's close.

RETURN EXTRA MONEY WITH

Before my father died he gave Lake
county 3. quit claim deed of ﬁfteen acres
which was never signed by my mother.
Before my mother died she gave me a
deed of the whole 80 acres (the 65 a.
was In her own name) At that time
there was $150 indebtedness on the form.

an I a. ' ve him a. mortgage.

He wouldn‘t take It unless I
martgage $300. For the other $150-he
was to get me the deed of the 15 acres
from Lake county.but all he has ever
done has been to take Interest and prom-
ise to get the deed immediately. The
mortgage was given ﬁve years ago and
is due. We have the money ready for
him but he hasn't the deed of the ‘15 a.
yet. He wanted me to pay the mort-
gage and said he would get the deed of-
terwards, but ,I told him I wanted the
deed ﬁrst and didn't pay him. He said
I would have to pay interest until the
mortgage was paid; mu 1 have to_ pay
Interest after It is due and can he fore-
close the mortgage If I1: is not paid as
long as he has not secured the deed as

The taking of an extra $150 upon
the pretense of getting a deed to the
15 acres may constitute an unlaw-
ful charge and the banker be en-
titled to no interest at all. ' However
it is not such a question as I can
answer for you without further in-
formation. You shouldconsult good
local counsel In the matter. He
must either get you s. deed or return
the money and interest thereon.—

law for more than tWenty years. I
coullﬁ always get a bigger fee for
telling a man how toevade the law

was and that he should respect it.
There is too much of this in our

company has asked authority from the
Inter-State Commerce Gommissiou to
lease for a term of years with the k1-
Vtentlon of ﬁnally purchasing. the Chi-
cago Junction railway terminal prop-
erties. The amount altered for the
said lease is $2,000,000 per year. The
property under consideration is con-
sidered to be worth about $33,000,000.

Many important improvements have
been made at the Detroit stock yards
by the Michigan Central Railroad
company during the past year, one of
the most important of which is the
establishment of a. department for the
vaccination of stock hogs and pigs.
many of which should ‘ﬂnd their way

The young people’s live stock judg-
ing tournament of Wisconsin, sched-
uled to be held in Madison Feb. 4 and
5, has enlisted the interest of more
than 70 high schools, divided into 19

meets to select representative teams
from the competition. Last year the
Mondovi, Wis., team won the state
round-up meet and a silver cup. b.0- '
sides the right to represent the state
at the nation-wide junior live stock
judging tournament at the Interna-
tional Stock Show M Chicago.

you that it would he absolutel impossible
to persuade the majority of the liard headed,
successful farmers in your community who

were some mighty good sound reasons for

good logical reasons why most farmers buy
wood silos. ~

Did you ever hear anyone. say that silos
of other materials will cure silage better or
keep it better than wood? No! But many
agriE’ultural experts, chemists and thousands!
of farmers who speak from actual experi-
ence emphatically assert that wood silos
make and keep silage far better than do
other kinds of silos. ’

It takes a certain amount of heat tocaus‘e
’ fermentation in the silo and cure silage
properly for wholesome feed. Wood is the
only material non-conductive of heat and
cold. Wood keeps in the heat :1 '

for the proper fermentation. and it also
keeps out the extreme cold that" causes
silage to freeze. g ,
Of course, you have to paint aWOod silo
ever ﬁve or six years on the outside. ’ But ‘
painting a wood silo on the outside is a
whole lot easier than ‘fdoctoring" up the
walls on the silo inside with some preserva-
tive preparation every few‘years. And rem

can’t get a ladder inside of it.

These are some of the reasons why the
majority of silos throughout the country are
built of wood. And best wood silo you
can buy is a NAPP Seal-tite 511,0,le

serviceable, themost useful and convenient
wood silo for any farm-g—the silo that will
give you the biggest value for your money. ~

Wood Silos Cost Less-

A N APPANEE SILO costs just about half
the price asked for kilos built of other ma-
terials. And the cost of erecting it is‘tar
less, too. You don’t need a'crew of skilled
mechanics to erect a NAPPANEE. The
average farmer can do the work himself

give you all the convenient, useful, time
labOr saving features that you will ﬁnd in-
corporated in the NAPPANEE. such as
the Double Anchor System that is as ne‘er
storm-proof as it is possible to make-the
real Man-Sized Doors that are six inches
wider than the average silo door and give
ample room, and comfort in entering the“
NAPPANEE—the outta heavy metal Door
Fasteners that seal tip the NAPPANEE as
tight as a fruit jar—+the safe and sane Lad-
der built so it is almost impossible to slip
an fall—the Hip Roof Rafters that are fur-s
nished FREE with the NAPPANEE and add
more room to thesilﬁand so on .all down
the line. F . < 'i’ '
A NAPPANEE SILO is easy to erect, easy"
