' o! the-Mature, namely, Act 19, Pubhc 

» bf 1919 which provided that» “all  line

' highways established under the ' provisions of,
Action-or Public Acts of 1913, shall hereafter
be constructed, maintained and improved un-
am- the direction, supervision and centrol of
the State Highway Commissioner.” Act 25
of Public Acts of 1919 provided that the bond
money should be used solely as follows: (I)
for. the purpose of paying the state’s portion
of the cost of constructing Federal Aided
roads; (2) for the pupose of paying the tate’s
portion ofthe cost of construction on state
trunk line highways or state. reward payable
onlsueh highways; ( 3) for the purpose of pay-
ing the cost of building trunk line bridges; and
(4) for the purpose of paying state reward on
highways other than trunk line and Federal
Aid roads, in case that should become neces-
sary. - _

To make the state’s activities on this work
clear" it should be understood that there have
been two Federal Aid appropriations, one in
1916 amounting to $75,000,000 and, one in 1919
amoun'tingto $200,000,000. The Federal Aid
Act provided that this money should be ap-

portioned among the-states, one third accord-
ing to area, one third according to population
and one third. according to trunk line mileage.

State Highway Commissioner
Under this rule; Michigan’s share of this mon-
ey is slightly less than $8,000,000. .
__ The sta’tebegan work on the trunk line sys-

tem under“sn"Act"‘of'the Legislature of 1917

which providence the counties should "ran-
der some ﬁnancial assistance in this work, the
richer counties paying as high as 50 per cent
of the cost of same and the poorer counties'pay-
as low as 25 per cent, counties of other valua-
tions ranging in between.

.The Legislature of‘ 1919, however, removed a
.part of. this burden from the counties for both
Federal Aid and trunk line roads and now the
richer counties pay only 25 per cent‘and the
poorer counties as low as 5 per cent of the cost
of new construction, other counties ranging in
between.

Federal Aid projects have been approved
and placed under construction in 33 of the 83
counties of Michigan,eovering 350 miles at a
total cost of $6,541,999.93. Of this mileage
215 have been‘ completed at a cost of $3,001,-
915.52. _ \’

Trunk line contracts, under the provisions of
Act 19, above referred to, commonly known as
the Aldrich Act, have been placed under con-
struction, covering 698 miles at a total cost of
$10,870,019.95. Of these 275 miles have be
completed at a cost of $4,848,971.19.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that 1051

I on the trunk lines,
have beenhplaced, under construction under the
provisions of theﬁtwo Actsreferred to, at a
total cost of $17 ,412,019.88. 1 ‘

All of‘the state’s portion of this construc-'
tion must be met from the bond issue, except
such, portion of the cost of Federal Aid roads
as was met by an appropriation of $450,000
by the‘Legislature of 1917.

TheAct providing for the expenditure of
the bond issue speciﬁes that “not more than
ﬁve million dollars shall be. expended by the
state for highway purposes in any one year.”
At present, (January lst, 1921) we are in the
second ﬁscal year. Bonds to the amount of
$7,000,000 have been sold, leaving a balance
of $3,000,000 which may be sold between now
and July 1st, when another $5,000,000 of high-
way bonds may be sold, making a total of $8,-
000,000 available for construction work and
the completion of contractsnow outstanding, _
during the building season of 1921.  A

It has been noted that contracts amounting
to upwards of $17,400,000 have been awarded
and that something over $9,500,000 will be rel :
quired . to complete contracts outstanding.
However, since about $3,500,000 of the out-
standing contracts are for Federal Aid roads
on which the Government pays approximately
50 per cent of the cost and the counties approx-
imately 25 per cent of the cost, only $882,304
will be required to pay the state ’s portion of
Federal Aid contracts now in force. But

"Western Growers Place Cost of Producing  Wool Clip at, $1 Pound

T' I. _ E president of Idaho Banker Submits Figares Showing Losses Suffered by Wool Ranchers Last Year , Period? and how I ""1

wrote. a letter to the editor of the Wall
Street Journal a few weeks ago complaining
of the' low priCe of wool and stating that the
1920 clip 'cost' the wool growers of Idahomorc
than $1 per pound. The Journal 8611.01: didn t
believe it. Being surrounded on. all sides .by
two-legged sheep and goats and qmte familiar
with "the" "‘fleeces”"'of Wall Street, he thought
he ought to knew something about the cost of
Idaho fleeces. So- he wrote right back to the
Idaho banker and asked him to produce .lns
proof. The preof came,- ‘and was So convmc-
ing that the editor‘of the Wall Street Jour-
nal published the facts in detail. .

The Business Farmer has often - heard ' it.
stated that’the cost of the 1920 clip in Mich-
igan‘was around $1 per pound but in the ab-
sence of any cost records we were obliged to
disbelieve it. We are not prepared to say
how much more . it costs to produce wool 1n
Idaho than in Michigan, but thedﬁerence is
probably slight. We, therefore. produce the
proof of the Idaho cost, leaving it to our road.

endeavor to tabulalte
a band of 1,000 sheep, that you may see'what
goes into the cost. However, before doing so I
might say that the lamb crop for 1920 was not,
in excessof fortyrlambs to the hundred ewes——
01' 40 per cent lambs; that few lambs sold for}
more than $6.00 per head and many sold as low
as $4.00. (Sec boring for detailed cost.) ;

Predicts Slump in Sheep Industry

It is rather surprising to run across a mem-
ber of the slaid, conservative banking fra-
ternity who will argue that farmers would be-
bettcr off some times not to grow any crops
at all than to grow them at a loss. But the
Idaho banker seems to be of that type, and
talks plain common sense about'tlie losses of
the wool growers. Continuing further he
says: ‘ : ..

“Sheep bred for the ﬁrst time at the age of two
years, and do not breed for longer than ﬁve years.
You will note in the above computations that no
debit is made for the depreciation otvthe useful
life'ot a band of sheep. Doubtless that would be
around six to seven hundred dollars. You will
see that credit is given for the wool at $1 per
pound, and still there is a deﬁcit of $1,558.50.
The 'cost of the 1920 wool clip is far greater
than any other clip of wool that was ever pro-
duced in the U. S. I do not believe in excesses;
I do not believe in taxing the people of the U. S.~
to grow pineapples in Alaska orto grow wool at
exorbitant prices; but I do believe in the flock-
master obtaining theneces‘sary cost of any one
clipqof wool, and if, you will follow my ﬁguresand
verify my «statement you .will' ﬁnd" thati"it"-~Lis a
mathematical certainty that thexlsz'oﬁ‘cllpc- of'
wool cost the flockmasters not one-haltpciiny, less
than $1.00 per- pound. And "it We. left" Out of‘

FOR A LONG time
the M. A. C. has .
been losing prestige. For a long time it has
been gradually losing the intereSt, faith and
support of the farmers. For a long time it
has been struggling along the roaduof med—
iocrity. And for a long time men who are
honestly interested in the work of the College
have been vainly trying to put their ﬁngers
upon the weak spots and repair them. When
the M. A. C. opened its doors for the 1920—2];
term, with a total enrollment of about 1,400
students, the only agricultural college in the
United States to report a decreased attend-
ance from the previous year, the Detroit
News sent its agricultural writer, Mr. Fred
Janette to visit a number of agricultural col-
leges in this country and Canada, to discover
by comparison, if he Could, what was wrong
with the M. A. C. After many months of re-'
search Mr. Janette announced his ﬁndings,
which have been published in the News and
will form the substance of a series of articles
upon the same subject to appear from time to
time in these columns.

M. A. C. Research Pioneer

The M. A. C. is the oldest agricultural col-
lege in the United States. It was provided
for by the state constitution in 1850, organ—
ized in 1855 and opened in 1857. Mr. Janette
tells us that in the early days of the College
i’armers‘ sons used to don their working
clothes and help log, clear brush, and plough
in order to rcdemn the college grounds from
the Wilthl‘IlC‘SS of which they then formed a
part. There was a spirit of real. interest and
(to-operation on the part of all who attended
and a pride in the work of. the college which
has gradually died out. In those days when
the college was a pioneer in the ﬁeld of agri-
cultural research some notable contributions
were made to the sum and substance of the
world’s agricultural information, and some _of
the brightest farm educators many of whom
are now of national prominence, were graduat-
cd. Even in recent'days the research work

Review of World Crop Prospects for 1921 Shows Decrease in Cereals.

HE AREA sown to win—

ter wheat last fall is
40,605,000 acres, which is 12.8 per cent
less than the revscd area shown for the pre-
vious year. The condition, on Dec. 1, was 87.9
as compared with the ten-year average of 88.4.
Although the Department of Agriﬁulture and
and other crop reporting agencies like to be
Optimistic over the 1921 cr0p prospects, there
can be no question but that the mild weather
has given winter wheat a start which in the
absence of snow moy result in widespread dam-
age‘should a sudden freeze sweep the country.
Here are two opinions. upon the condition of
winter wheat:

“In the winter wheat country the ground was gen-
erally bare of snow when the weather was mild and
comparatively uniform in temperature and very little
damage repor ed as a result of thawing and freezing,
‘fl'heat is of good color generally and was being pas-

spect. Of this Mr. Janette writes:

“Red rock wheat and Rosen rye are Michigan
creations, product of a development at the East
Lansing college by men who are at this time in
the state’s service and pushing these discoveries
along. Like the others, Michigan has made and
applied discoveries to aid 'in the never~ending
ﬁvlit against plant and animal diseases, depletion
of soil fertility and many other things. What

the agricultural industry of a region needs to ‘

have done is what the college in that region aims
to do, and results apply in other states as a‘sec-
ondary effect. ~

“Michigan agriculture is highly diversified,
much greater in variety of product than Wis-
consin's on one side; more like that of Ontario
province, on the other side. . f

“It is conceded by critics of M. A. C. that the
great diversity of interest in this state—wheat
and rye, beans and beets. fruit and livestock and.
dairy products standing prominently in the gen-
eral perspective—may account for the fact they
don’t hear as much of Michigan as of some other
colleges. It is perceived that one has to look for

Foreign Crop Prospects

The U. S. Bureau of Crop'Estimates is like-
wise optimistic over the foreign cr0p pros-
pects. It reports a decline in‘the pseviously
reported wheat area in Argentina, Australia
and the Union of South Africa,l>ut an increase
of three million acres over 1919—20. The Ar-
gentina crop is now in process of harVesting
which is progressing favorably. Damage to
wheat in New South Wales s reported, due to
heavy rains, but, says the Bureau optimistic-
ally if unwarrantedly, “it is the opinion 0
‘many’ that these rumors are evidently much
exaggerated.” The Bureau also attempts to
discountlreports of drought in South Africa,
France, Germany, United Kingdom, India.
Regarding the situaton n the latter country
the Bureau says: “In India the prevailing

drought is unrelieved and moisture is badly ‘

needed in the Punjab, Northwest Provinces,
Central Provinces and Bombay. Crop pros-

“The producers some time ago began-to ﬁnd

‘ ginning to ﬁnd it out, or at least to act on their

new knowledge ,and it is a speciﬁc complaint of
the critics of M. A. C. that it is among the slow
ones.

“The organized institute service, now outworn,
having served its purpose and been succeeded
by better plans, came into Michigan in 1875 from
the agricultural department of the University of
Illinois. The institutes taught along the old
lines—soil and crop improvement, care of live-
stock, increase of production generally.

“It is characteristic of the academic mind pre-
dominant at M. A. C. and certainly present, if not

always so pronounced, at other agricultural col-~
leges, that this kind of instruction was kept up,
in the face of decreasing attendance and wide,

complaints from the farmers that they were not

while on the other trees the fruit was ﬁne and

large,-and a worm was seldom if ever found.

2 "There has been more or less argument among

fruit growers as to whether or not it pays to

\ :spray any stone fruits to prevent worms, but

- We feel that the evidence was very m'uCh in
favor of spraying in this case.

For the control of such insect pests as Scur-
fy,'»San Jose and oyster shell scale it will be
necessary to use either a lime-sulphur solution
as a dormant spray once or twice per year, or
some prepared solution sold for the same pur-
pose. There are one or twopre—
pared insecticide and fungicide
solutions on the markets that have
proven cheaper and more satisfac--

. ' ' tory to us than the lime—sulphur.
 \Vhenever the orchard is badly in-
fested with these pests to begin
with we feel that'it is proﬁtable
to use the dormant spray twice
per year for a few years at least
until the situation is gotten well
_ in hand. Any time in autumn
~ after the leaves have fallen and
the temperature is well above
freezing it is safe to apply the
. dormant spray. Just before the

My Experience Proves

 , ‘ONTRARY TO general belief and prac-

tice, chicks do not grow or thrive as well
during warm months or hot summer days as
.they do earlier in the spring. Experienced poul—
‘ trymen legalize this fact. The average farm-
er, however, does not make any effort to hatch
early so that the chicks will have the advan-
tage of a longer and more faVOrable growing
season. Early hatching not only insures more
rapid gains in the growth of chicks, but has a
favorable influence on the size of the individ-
uals of the flock. Late hatched chicks rarely,
if ever, attain the size of those hatched e'arlv.
v Early hatching likewise influences early. ma—
turity'and consequently early egg production.

should be used, and care taken that the solu-
tion covers every part of the tree.

If no fungicide was used in the dormant
spray it will be necessary to spray with bor—
deaux mixture or some similar solution for the
control of such fungus diseases as black rot,
blight, mildew, rust and scab. We, however,
do not use a special fungicide solution. It is
cheaper and more convenient to incorporate
the fungicide in either the dormant spray or
both the dormant spray and the spraying giv-
(n to prevent worms, and is just as satisfac-
tory. The ﬁrst spraying for worms and leaf
thewing pests is given when the blossom buds
are beginning to show pink. and a second
spraying for the same purpose is given as
soon after the petals fall as is pos-

 

 

sible. It is not practical to spray
when the trees are in blossom, as
it kills the bees and interferes with
pollination.
Spraying for Worms

In spraying to prevent worms
it is desirable to Select a day when
the sun is shining. so that the so-
lution will dry rapidly. and the
spraying should not be continued
late in the day. After the two
sprayings mentioned above for the
control of worms and leaf chewing
insects it is only necessary to spray
suiliciently often during the grow-
ing seasmi to cover later growth,

it is necessary that the solution remain damp
for as long a time as possible, which is exact-
ly the opposite of what is wanted when spray-
ing against the leaf chewing insects, the ob-
ject of .which is to kill by poisoning. It is nec—

as if a geod solution has been used
it will cling to the foliage during

tially successful because of the fact that the
class for whose beneﬁt the work was undertak-
en, fail to co-operate with the members of the
commission. ,

It is quite probable that there are farmers '

in Michigan who do not know that there is
connected with our state government, an in-
stitution which is known as the Department
of Animal Industry; that there are not-many
of which this can be said, goes without saying
but there are, without question, very many
farmers in this great state who do not under-
stand the intents and purposes of this very
meritorious undertaking. They never think
of this department as having beendealled into
being for their special beneﬁt. They .do -- not
realize that the only object in organizing this
branch of the state government was for the
purpose of saving them money and no endyof
trouble and inconvenience. The opinionfzh‘cld
by many farmers, concerning the work, that
this department is trying hard to perform; is

exactly the opposite of the fact and many of

them deliberately seek to obstruct rather than
aid in the performance of the work.

The Quarantine Bogy

The early antagonisms concerning the in-
tents and purposes of this departmentshould
be discarded and every progressive breeder-of
live stock in Michigan should co-operate with
the little group of painstaking, conscientious
men who have been entrusted with this most
important undertaking. The organization of
the department of Animal Industry was the
outgrowth of a desire, on the part of some of
Michigan’s leading statesmen and lawmakers,
to aid the farmer by performing a service for
him that, in the very nature of thingshhe
could not do for himself. H. H. Halliday,

A- community S y school has replaced the

The latest move in the development of Gray-

success of earlier moves. It follows the suc-
cess of Consolidated School District No. 1.
The school was established only after a bitter
legal battle among neighbors. It has grown.
More than that, it brought people together. It
provided the ﬁrst common meeting placo the
neighborhood ever had. The idea of a united
community, rather than a divided one, grew
until the latest step was inevitable. ”* * *

and west, leaving the remaining half of
each district within easy distance of good

from the flocks and herds of Michigan, is ex-
tremely anxious that the farmers of the state
shall utilize this department to the fullest
possible extent; in no other way can the mem-
bers of this ‘ commission hope to, bring about
results commensurate with the outlay that the
state is making. ' '
Statistics are 'not‘ only uninteresting but
they are often unconvincing as well and what

is muchrworse, any data that can'be secured,
in connection with cases "of this kind, must ‘

needsrbc extremely unréliable. Suﬁce it then
to say, that if the farmers of this state could

be made to comprehend the mmimde of the
work, which is "being done every year by this -

commission, they would not fail to cooperate

with them and aid them in every possible .

way. If they could, in some way, be made to
fully realize how many hogs have been saved
by the preventive measures against hog chol-
era and—kindred diseases, which'have been re.
commended and practiced by this department ,-
if they could be made to comprehend how
many outbreaks of scab in sheep have been
cured or prevented and how that dread dis
ease, bovine tuberculosis, has. been held in
check and gradually eliminated from the
dairy and beef herds of the state, they would
use their influence to induce every Michigan
stock raiser to place the future welfare of his
herds and flocks in the hands of this capable
band of experts. ‘

The necessity for the use of preventive mea-
sures against _hog cholera has been frequently

will be of value in solving the problems they
will meet in work. ‘

 

and virus,
the Michigan sheep raiser has just as j
serious a" problem to deal with as has the

hog breeder. The modern practice of ship- j
ping feeding sheep and lambs, from the west~ “‘
cm range country into the state for feeding

purposes, has proved to be very proﬁtable in

many cases; these hardy western lambs, if - €

~ they are free from disease and are keptso .

by being properly dipped at the right time, ,
make wonderful gains on feed and are nearly'
always fed out to a satisfactory proﬁt. It is -
a fuel; that cannot be overlooked, however. ‘
that both growers and feeders are running a '
tremendous risk, in connection with this traf-
ﬁc in western sheep and lambs. During 
cent years many loads of scabby sheep and
lambs have been;L discovered in the Detroit
stock yards.  ' _
Shipping Diseased Stock
It is inconceivable that any shipper would
be ‘so mercenary and selﬁsh as to send stock '
to a public market that-is suffering from a con-
tagious disease; the circumstances, however, a
that have developed in connection with every
case of “scabbies” that have been discovered
in the Detroit stock yards, tend to the inev—
itable conclusion that the shippers of the dis- ‘
eased animals knew what they were doing and
sent them in to avoid the expense and trouble
oi? two clippings which are all that is neces-
my to the complete eradication of the disease. ,
' course an embargo was placed on all out-
ng- shipments by the stock yards ofﬁcials,
«red a complete disinfection of the entire,

sheep division was immediately made. It is ‘ _
.-a fact, that in very few cases did the shipper

of the disessed animals save anything by. his
illadvised act for he was made to pay all of
the expense, incident to disinfection and the
general cleanup. which is necessary in such
cases. How much better it would have been

had he been willing to notify the Department

of Animal Industry so that the animals could
have been quarantined in the country, dipped-
and cleaned up without the danger of spread-

The bulls had their own way with

Department of Agriculture were tak-

The trend or the oat market was
determined by that of corn last
week. Monday or the current week
found oats traveling the same dune--

Rye was down three cents at the
close of last week in sympathy with
other grains and has not yet return-
ed to its former level. But the bulls
are not worrying any about this
grain. They see nothing but a short-
age of supplies and steady it slow
improvement in the export demand.
Rye will continue to follow wheat
closely as they are rival breadstuﬂs
in many nations. The Detroit mar.

there is Occasional 'activity, but for
the most part the market is without

v «LIVESTOCK MARKETS
LNéVBr before, in; the history
this Conn-try, has the demand.
‘ cheap bee! been so imperative: the
wholesalers claim that retailers de-
cline to'bny beef from cattle that
costs more than $9 per cwt., on foot
and retailers claim that with a very
tow notable exceptions, their custom-
ers demand the cheaper grades of
[cowand heifer beef. A glance over
the cattle market reports, during the
past ten days, shows that the ani-
_mals selling below $6 per cwt. alive,
are in the most active demand; in
fact there have been many dull days
in the general cattle trade of late,
when the supply of the cheaper
grades of cattle in western markets,
was far below the demand and many
orders went over unﬁlled.- Good
steer. cattle. have had a hard time of
' itin Chicago of late, the number of
animals selling above $10 per cwt.
being very small. The top for year-
lings in Chicago on Wednesday“
lastweek ‘was $10; the cattle that
brought that price were very choice
load of pure~bred Herefords. aver-
aging 9187pounds. -
0n the whole, the general outlook
for. the business of cattle raising is
extremely discouraging andhnndreds
at old experienced operators are pre-

of
for

paring to dispose of their herds, sell '

out their outﬁts and quit the: busi-
ness for once and all; so serious has
the situation become from the stand-
point of the preducer that the big
packers are beginning to regard the
situation with alarm, because ot an
anticipated shortage of beef animals,
later on. A large proportion of the
cattle, that are coming forward at
this'time, are little better than av-
erage feeder quality, a fact which.
combined with the information that
current cattle runs are much below
normal in volume, ‘bespeaks a tre-
mendous decrease in tonnage of
dressed beet for the current year
when compared with other recent

receipts, mature wethers‘are steady
but yearlings are sharply lower with

. a top of $8.50; heavy yearling weth-

'selling between $4.75 and $5.50 per

During ‘ the past‘week, alive hogs
have scored a big gain in'all markets,

Detroit Market Conditions

The Detroit cattle trade is-about
the worst that was ever known at
this point; there is absolutely no
lite to the demand tor cattle: that
should sell above $9 per cwt. and
sellers are having the'time of their
lives, making a clearance. There is
no demand for stockers audieeders
to go baclr into the countryl and
many of these are c'ar‘r‘iéd over,

WHAT BECOMES on THE STATE
HIGHWAY MONEY
(Continued from page 3)

average is paying upwards of 75 per

cent of trunk line contracts awarded
under the Aldrich Act, something
over $4,500,000 will be required
from the state to complete this work.

In other words, approximately $5.-
500,000 of state funds will be required
to complete Federal Aid and trunk
line contracts now outstanding.

But it has just been noted that only .

$8,000,000 more of road bonds may be
sold during the remainder of 1921.
hence if $5,500,000 are required to
complete contracts now outstanding,
only $2,500,000 of state funds will be
available for construction during the
coming summer. This will necessarily
be considerable slowing down of the
work put. on during the past two years
and road projects will have to be con—
sidered carefully before they are un-
dertaken, However, it a reasonable
proportion of this money is expended
on Federal Aid roads, it would still
seem possible to place under contract
somewhere between $5.000,000 and
$6,000,000 worth of trunk line roads
and bridges in 1921. 

If to the trunk line and Federal Aid
roads above mentioned, we add assess—
ment district roads'which the state has
had supervision of since 1917, the
total contracts would exceed $21,500,-
000 and reach into 31 of the 83 coun-
ties in the state. To handlc'so large
a. program, a considerable force is ne—
cessary and it is sometimes thought
that the State Highway Department
is carrying a large overhead but
when the vast expenditures for con—
struction are considered, together
with the fact that they reach into
practically every county in the state,
it willﬂbe found that the percentage
of cost of supervisionvis very small. .

The ﬁnancial statement for the last
six months of 1920 shows that Fed-

eral 'Aid road contracts cost $1,493,-'

,, AWARE mws

Do you know anytlhing about the De-
troxt Packing Company? Would it be a
safe investment, and why is it incorpor-
ated under the laws of Delaware instead
of Michigan?——A; S., Mariette, Mich,

 

We have already expressed our
views, about the Detroit Packing Co.
The majority of the stock is held by
farmers, and in our judgement, there
is no reason why it should not suc-
ceed if properly managed. We have
asked the company to explain why it
is organized‘ under the laws of Dela-
ware. - The explanation follows:

“This assuredly was done as a mat-
ter of necessity and not of choice,.as
ﬁrst, last and all the time Michigan
comes ﬁrst. Our Stockholders all are
citizens of this State and we expect
to do the major part of our business
within the confines of. Michigan.

When our conclusions were reached
as to what capitalization would be
necessary, running as it would into
several million dollars, the require-
ment of the Michigan law that 50 per
cent of total capitalization be sub-
scribed at the time of incorporation

as the Delaware law is more modern,
meeting all conditions under which
our Cempany was organized to bet-
ter effect, we took out a Delaware
Charter. Possibly other large Cor-
porations, such as Henry Ford & Son
and the General Motors, had equally
-good reasons for incorporating under
the Delaware law instead of that of
Michigan, as was done. ‘

Only a short time ago the writer
saw an item in the newspapers indi-
‘catingthat Mr. Groesbeck, then At-
torney General and now Governor of
Michigan, realized that the Michigan
law‘ as it stood did not adequately
meet with present day conditions and
that in theinterest of the State he felt
it advisable that the Corporation laws
be revised in such manner as to make
it unnecessary for Michigan Institu-
tions to operate under charters grant-
ed by other Commonwealths."——Franlc
L. , Garrison, ‘ Vice'President, I Detroit
Packing Company.

ELECTION BOA RD

What is the law in regard to the elec-
tion board on election day? They are
not supposed to be all Republicans are
they? - Ever since we have been here
that is the way it has been in Alden.
This is a Republican town, only a few
Democrats. Seems to me it is a good
chance for “skulduggery” is they so want.
Had a girl, with me four weeks and

ﬁve days to board. There was nothing

said about the price until she had been
here little more than two weeks and she
asked me then what I charged, and if I
wanted it by'the week, I told her $5 a
week and would rather, hate it in a,
bunch. In slew days she saidshe be-

it would be alright if she would pay in
.a feW’ days. ~She came August 1st. and
left Sept, 3rd, She paid me $15 and has
gone home without paying the rest. How
shall :1 proceed to get the rest? ’

A man in town owning a. butcher shop
also owns a arm across the way from
ours. Their barn is within a stones’
throw of our house. e comes up to
butcher his cattle in the ba‘i‘n -which.is

on the road line nearly. Kills the stock,.

- lets the blood, run out of the door toward
the road. Has be right to butcher there
winter or summer? What is the my in
regard to it? How should we proceed
to stop it?—-Mrs. A. P. R., Alden, Mich.

 

The law provides that the sniper-

visor, clerk and justice of the peace

I whose term‘ will soonest expire shall
. constitute the board. If there
more than one precinct, the board
selects the others. If any of the
towdomcers are candidates and do
not attend at the opening of the polls
the electors present shall elect to ﬁll
the vacancy. There is no law that I
know of that requires the selection
to be made from any party. In the
capacity of inspectors of election
they are fulfilling the duties of cit-
izenship and ﬁlling places by the
choice of their neighbors and be—
cause their neighbors trusted them.
There is no more likelihood of “skul-
duggery” by a board made of the
members of,one party alone than
there is of a bi-partisan board as the

law provides that each party may,

have a representative present to
watch the proceedings. 1 Every act of
the board may be observed by these
partisan watchers. ‘

If your boarder will not pay the
balance she owes upon demand, you
can sue her, take judgement, if you
prove to the satisfaction of the‘court
that she owes you. Upon the judg—
ment you may garnishee any one who
owes her or you may take an execu-
tion and levy upon any property she
has, that is not exempt under the
laws, and sell it to satisfy the execu-
tion, ‘

Section 5161 of the Compiled
Laws of 1915 provides that it shall
be unlawful to maintain any slaught-
er houses within 30 rods of any high-
way, “except such place with an ad-
equate supply of water for daily and
constant flushing and purefying of
the‘place and with adequate sewer-
age and drainage for the speedy re-
moval of all blood and other fluids
and refuse from such slaughtering.”
The penalty is a ﬁne not exceeding
$100 or in default of the payment of
the ﬁne then conﬁnement in the
county Jail not exceeding 60 days.
If the health ofﬁcer will not cause
him to stop the slaughter you should
make complaint to the prosecuting
attorney of your county and take his
advice in the matter.—-W._ E. Brown,
legal 6 itor.

Secy.-Treas., Chas. J. Higgins, all of
Detroit-

The Commission advises that it has
had no complaints concerning the
company, but does not recommend the
purchase of any securityrand its ap-
proval should not be construed by
investors as endorsement of value.

Except fork the fact that the direc-
tors of the company have issued to
themselves 60,000 shares of stock for
promotion purposes for which they
paid no money and which must be.
paid for by the other stockholders,
the company appears to be in a com-
paratively satisfactory position. The
fact that it has earned 6 per cent "on
all outstanding stock indicates that
it has become an established, going
concern. But there is a. less encour-
aging fact which should be borne-tin
mind when considering investment
in mortgage corporations, and that is
the large number of them that are
now in the ﬁeld. Attracted by the
great demand for money which de-,
veloped during the war at least -a half
dozen mortgage corporations were or-
ganized in this state, with a capital
ranging from three to ﬁve million
dollars. The ﬁeld of the mortgage
corporation is necessarily restricted
because the nature of the business
which it is permitted to engage in is
restricted. So far as mortgage loans
are concerned these corporations en;
ter into direct competition with banks
When the demand for money is active
no difﬁculty is encountered in plac-
ing the funds of the corporation at a
proﬁtable margin, but in periods of
hard times when people forego in-
vestments, curtail their expenditures
and the demand for money slack-ens,
the corporatiommay meet Withdim- ‘
culty in ﬁnding a market for enough _'
of its fundsat‘ a high enough interest
rate to maintain its previous ehrn-
ings. We expect to see within the
next few months a very much easier
money situation, in which case bank

not be the attractive investmnts

What Limestone Will do forYour Land

Every farmer knows in a general way'that wonderful results are being achieved by

treating soil with pulverized limestone.

 

Probably you have. read of instances where a single applicationvhas doubled the hay or
alfalfa yield—you have heard your County Agent strongly urge the use of limestone-—
you have seen your Agricultural College reports emphasizing the necessity of limestone

treatment particularly on‘ Michigan soils,

But there has been a reasonable doubt in your mind as
to what limestone would actually do on your own land.
Conditions on your farm are different. Of course, they are.

And now we have recognized this fact. So we have written

a book which will enable you to‘ accurately analyze the “

conditions as they actually exist on your farm and tell
deﬁnitely what limestone will do for you.

‘ We have not merely. stated our ideas and opinions as to

what limestone will do, but have made this book a concise
digest of the opinion of the greatest agricultural authori-
ties in the country on limestone, the results of te'St's that
have been carried out in various agricultural experimental

. V . . _ in actual use on farms
under every variety of conditiOn.

A glance at a few of. the chapter heads will give you an
idea of how thoroughly this subject is covered. ‘

Limestone and Non-Legumes
Sandy Soils Need Limestone
Results from the Use of Limestone
Application of Limestone

The most proﬁtable thing a farmer can do is to learn the
need, the uses, and the results of limestone.

We honestly believe that this one subject more largely
affects his yields and his proﬁts than any other feature of
his work.

We have now made it easy for you to master this
subject thoroughly. v .

,Th'e bOOk will require not over a half hour’s time to read
and will give you an accurate knowledge of this vital sub-
ject, which will put you in position to obtain greater yields
and greater proﬁts for the rest of your life.

'It would be a great thing for Michigan agriculture if this

book was placed in the library of every Michigan farmer
and carefully read. We are doing our part to acaomplish
this by going to the expense of publishing and distributing
this book absolutely free.

All we ask‘ is that you do your share by sending for it

, The Crying Needs of the University
HEN PRES. Burton annouiicedlthat'the
University of Michigan would need
nearly nine million dollars for the next two
years a howl of protest went up from every
quarter. No one could understand why an
institution which heretofore hadzbeen content
with an annual appropriation of a million or so
dollars should suddenly ﬁnd itself in need of
.four times as much. The inevitable conclus-

 

  
 

' on among those :who didn’t know anything
 about the matter, the Business Farmer includ-

our President was an ambit-
ious young fellow, keen to build up a reputa-
tion "for himself and make the University the
ﬁrst in the land. It was believed that a good
share of .the desired eight and a  millions
was for frillsam’d fancy work which the Uni-
versity could forthe time being struggle'aloag
without. “No, sir,” was the indignant re-
sponse, “we’ll never stand for such a-‘p'rbgrem
asjhat.” -

take his word for it.

.I am not going to take the space in this

article that is necessary to fully acquaint my
readers with the condition of stairs at the
University. In a later article I will do this.
I will take them. step-by step through’the sev-
eral buildings which Pres. Burton desires to
replace and which should have been replaced
ten or twenty years ago, and describe to them
in detail the nature of the surroundings in
which millions of dollars worth of property
are kept and thousandsof human beings are
obliged to work, cat and sleep. The mystery
to my readers will be as it was to me how the
University authorities could have permitted
such a condition of decay, congestion and in-
sanitation to develop, But it is there right
before the eyes, and as a citizen of Michigan
I blush for shame because of it. And I am
asking the farmers of Michigan to defer judg-
ment upon the University’s budget until, they
are acquainted with all the facts in’. the case.
These will be presented in an early issue of
the Business Farmer.

which helped to ﬁnance» the Farm Bureau in its
infancy and which hoped to mold its policies are
still seeking to control it.

“Much propaganda has been' sent out through
various channels to get the delegates to the State
Farm Bureau Board ‘0! Delegates'Jined up in
support of the program which has been formu-
lated apparently by the Agricultural College, but
probably laid out by people who are antagonistic
to the things the farmers want to seeaccom-
pushed. '

“Another f'act is that the interests which are
against us are more afraid of us politically than
in any other way and have been fostering the
idea of the runners organizing themselves into
commodity organizations such as beet growers.

combatted the idea ofxt‘he farmers having one or-

These are interesting; statements which iii"

The Cheerful Loser

HE WORLD hasn’t. much use for the
man who can’t take defect with victory
and failure with success. Yet _ in the great

their winnings under their belt with a self-
satisﬁed smile, but complain bitterly when
they lose. Man, you can’t always win, but if
you play the, game square you won’t always.
lose. When you  pat yourself on the back
if you want to; but when you lac be a cheer-
ful loser. And above all. don’t try to blame
someone else for your loss.

Do you know what I am thinking about as I '

write these words? i may as well be frank
about it,—-I am thinking of the sugar beet
farmers who remained loyal to their vows last
year,.refused to humble themselve before ‘the

sugar manufacturers. and as a. consequence

grew no beets. I adered those men for their
independence, their cmxrage,
Yet my  for them and my faith in

What sun We Do With The State Fair?

' OLLOWING rapidly upon the recommen-
dation of Gov. Grocsbeck that the State
take over the State Fair, the directiirs of that
society voted to turn the property over. It
remains for the legislature to adopt proper
laws for the acquisition and future manage-
ment of the exposition. ‘ ‘

Geo. W. Dickinson, secretary-manager of
the Fair, has been quoted as saying that he
would oppose such a move. Either Mr. Dick-
inson had beenmisinterpreted or else he has
rccomidered his decision, for more recently, he
has said that he will assist in every [way pos- .
sible with the transfer, of the fairi’s property
and activities, and that he “is in hearty syn;
pathy with anything and everything that will
be to the greater beneﬁt of agriculture and the V

‘ state.”

'While the state ownership of the Fair will}
permit of a more flexible policy of manage—
ment, it will not do _ away with one of the
greatest weaknesses of the exposition as an ag-

gricultural event, ~and that is its location. If

the Fair it to be run solely for proﬁt there is

no objection to its being an adjunct of the ,
city of Detroit. But if its purposeis to in-

struct and educate primarily ii; 'the of cg-

ricultnre there is no excuse for  being so far

away. from the center of the state’s agricul-

tural activities. The place for the State Fair‘
is at Lansing. There, under the wing of the

Capitol and the Ayieultural College, within .
easy approach of  best forming coim- ‘ "
ties in the state,.it could be made .to mirror
in perfect detail the vsrious branches of the
state’s agriculture. '

 

Next Week

ARMERS’ week begins next Monday and

will last ﬁve days. It is the-one occasion ,
of the entire year which gives the farmer a
real excuse for dusting the hayseed out of his
hair, donning his Sunday go to meetin’s, and
leaving_the farm to the tender mercies of the
hired man. It affords him a chance to rub

'clbows with his agricultural college and his

fellow farmers from other parts of the-state.
A ﬁve days’ visit at the M. A. C. during
Farmer’s Week is better than. raisin whiskey
to ﬁll a man with pep, life and vision. The
dostis dirt cheap, and there are no unpleas—
ant after eﬁects. Farmer’s Week this year

will introduce in the U, 8. Senate.

To all right thinking Americans it has
been and is humiliating to see our Na-

MORE CRIT‘QISM AN’ EV’RYTIIIN‘
" EARS LIKE everything I write
v Per say lately .gits somebody’s
‘ goats or somethin' an’ now it’s
the boxin’ com‘mission—sometbin’ I
said about ’em didn’t, seem to please
some of am an’ I’m told they’re say-
in awful~things “about me—athat I’m
buttin’ in where I ain’t wanted an’
mixin’ in to. things that ain't none
of my bizness an’ mebbe I be’an’
then agin mebbe I ain’t—mebbe it’s
a. little bit of everybody’s bizness
What’s bein’ done in the ol’vStaIte of
Michigan an' mebbe I’ve got jest as
good a right to "spress my opinion as
the state boxin’ commission or any—
body else—commission or no com-
mission.

One thing I do know; I’ve found
but very few that’s in favor of any
such foolishness as is represented by
the aforesaid boxin’ commission an’
I’ve found less that wuz in favor of
keeping it. .~.-  ». .. 

Some how, 'people that I’ve talked
with don’t seem toije very anxious
to make prize‘ﬂghters of their boys
which-‘may-Tse‘em kinda. fun-ny- to' the
state -.,,boxin’ commission "'y‘vhen ' they
are recommending it 'so highly, teach
’em --the manly art'of self defense,
that’s the cry now you know, an'
when they git their lessons all learn-
ed put ’em up agin some good 'prize
ﬁghter an’ let ’em git the stuffin’
knocked out’n ’em a few times an’
then your boys and my boys’ll 'be
men? Young men you know cap—
able to go into any kind of bizness
——~able to compete with men of brains
an’ bizness ability ’cause they’ll
know how to handle themselves
don’tchaknow? Nobody can stand

 

agin them ’cause they’ll have the

manly art of self defense an’ when
they’ve got that, brains don’t count
“muscle and a little science, with
the intelligent aid of the State Box—
in’ Commission’ll carry ’em‘through
—or if that fails, a few rattle boxes
scattered ’round judiciously Will
smooth things over an' everyt'hin’ll
still be all right for the State Boxing
Commission.

Fact is the State Boxing Commis-
sion like the state constabulary’ll be
all right jest as long as they can git
somebody that’s got a little influ-
ence in high places or sim’lar to
speak a good word for ’em here an’
there an’ pull the wool over the peo-
ple’s eyes—semebody smart enough
to make monkeys out of taxpayers
an’ stool pigeons out of some mem-'
bers of the legislature.

It seems jest’s if about all any—
body has to do in this country now
when they want to. git an easy job
at the expense of an overburdened
public, is to git some good talker to
work for ’em an’ the thing’s jest as
good as don-e. Of course it don’t mat-
ter what the talker or writer charg-
es for his services, if he can fool the
people an’ git what he wants, ex-
pense is nothing—the taxpayer foots
the bill in the end anyway. r

I don’t know as the’ state; Grange
endorsed the Boxin’ Commission-4—
don’t know as anybody has or could
—don’t know of anybody ’cept the
Boxin’ Commission that wants such
a thing, but the State Grange, by a
very small majority did worse than
that, they endorsed the state con~
stabula‘ry an’ I ain’t been able to
.ﬁnd a Granger yet that’s in favor
of a boxin’ commission or the state
constabulary . either ,an’ I’ve seen
only one man that’sever seen one of
.the birds either. They’re scarcer’n

hen’s teeth down in this neck 0’ the '

woods an’ we don’t need ’em—we’ve
got a good,'_-.sheriff-.with plenty of
deputies; we’vegot .a. police force
under a good chief;.we’ve'.got con-
stables in every township, an’- sev-
eral in the cities an’ the laws are
enforced in this county jest as strict;

1y as many county where the con”-“‘

stabulary holds forth in all their
glory an’ arrogance or whatever it
is they hold forth in. An’ what
.we’ve got most every other county’s
got—éoﬂlcers elected to enforce - the
law an’ if the Ofﬁcers, elected by the
votes of the people thatwknow ’ém
.ean’t‘enforce the law, how can". a'

in‘Jackson or Jackson county? Why
can they prevent crime any more’n
the police of the city or the sheriff
of the county, with several deputies,

all sworn to do their duty, and who,

live right in the city every day in
the year?'Don’t_ it lmk like a. waste
of good hard earned money to keep

‘ a hundred and ﬁfty or more men, all

at a good salary, to do the work of
men that are elected and paid 'to do
the same work? The, State Grange
advocated having~ the state police act
as ﬁre wardens an’ similar, mebbe
that’s all right far’s it goes, but I’d
add a good deal more to their, duties,
'cause we’ve got State ﬁre wardens
an’ such—lots of ’em—-in fact we’ve
got ofﬁcers of all' kinds an’ for every
purpose—a food an drug commis~
sion to look after violators of the
liquor law; state game wardens to
protect our game an’ ﬁsh; state oil
inspectors to “protect cur oil; state
dairy inspectors to protect our dair-
ies—an’ we’ve got a state boxin’ com—
mission to protect themselves; and
a state constabulrary to take half a
million dollars a year of the people’s
money; an’ a state legislature; but
What have we got to protect the tax—
payers, already over—burdened, from
,grafters and bloodsuckers in human
form an’ proﬁteers—from gamblers
in food stuffs an’ the necessities 'of
life?

If any sane man can give me one
good reason for estate boxin’ com-
mission or a state constabulary, I’ll
jest shut right up an’, say no more
about it but ’til someone does this,
no whimpering from the boxin’ com—
mission or the statecoustabulary’ll
change my mind in the least an’ I
say no was I have said before: The

“majority of the people of Michigan

In teaching the calf how to drink milk from a

D. Scott of Oheboygan. A woman is the only

TEST SHO’IS WHEN BLASTING
- BITCHES

Large quantities of dynamite are
now being used for blasting ditches
on the farms of the U. S.

The question that seems _-to puz-
zle farmers most when they ﬁrst be-
gin ditching with dynamite is: “How
much dynamite should I use to
blast a ditch of a given size?"

Even an expert cannot always
answer this question, for the amount
necessary to use depends not only
on the size of the ditch, .but on soil
conditions. In fact, the .latter has
the more important bearing on tile
question.

The general rule is that light; dry
soils require larger charges and
more careful tamping and handling
generally than heavy wet soils. Why?
Because dynamite is an Obstinate‘,
contrary agent and acts best when
resisted most strongly. Wet soils
resist most. ,

Professional blasters make what
they call short test shots when they
start out to blast a ditch in soil with
which they are not thoroughly fam-
iliar. .

The blaster not sure how much
dynamite it will take “to pull it" as
he’e‘xpresses it. puts down ﬁve bore
holes,'ioads them. with the number of
cartridges he thinks will be about
right, ﬁres the shot and carefully
watches the result. vathe size of
the hole and .the “throw” of the dirt
indicates he has used more dyna-
mite than was necessary he will try
another ﬁve shot hole, loading each
hole less heavily. If the smaller
charges “pulled it" all \right, so
much the better—.it less-ens costs.
0n the other hand, if the test shot
doesn't producethe desired depth or
width, or if the dirt isn't thrown
out cleanly, he will use heavier
charges on his succeeding shots.
.An inexperienced farmer cannot
expect to get perfect results the ﬁrst

- time he tries ditch blasting. A few

test shots however. will set him on
the. right track, He should console

- himself With the thought that .even

the old hands at the game have to,
resort to these tests. ‘

Due to an evident lack» r" interest

and conﬁdence in the pro~pects of
the 1921 yield on the part of maple
sugar and syrup producers, the for-
estry committee often has decided
not to take any action on P's-opera-
tive marketing on this commodity
this year. '

A committee of two consisting of
Charles Dean of Vermontv’lle and
Mr. Hart of _Williamston are perfect—
.ing the arrangements and program
for the annual meeting of syrup

BRET GROWERG TO DISCUSS
00me . '
' UCH INTEREST is being mnui—
 rested in the forthcoming
meeting of the sugar beet
growers to be held at the M. A. C.
during Farmers' Week. It is alto-
mer likely that out of this meet- .
lug will come a better understand-
ing of the sugar beet situation and a
contract to which both farmer and ‘
manufacturer can; subscribe their
names. ' ‘
Western growers have been emi-
nently successful int-securing a slid—
ing scale contract',vwllic11 takes into
consideration baththe sugar content
and the price of sugar. It is the
Sugar Beet
Growers’ Ass'n vto-incorporate both
of.these provisions in the new con-
tract. Manager Ackerma‘n writes us
as follows concerning this matter:
“It seems that the growers’ organ-

 

. izations all over the United States

are in favor of a sliding scale con- -
tract tori‘beets having the, price for
beets based on the following condi- "
tions. _~ .q, , 

' “Iat.‘ one half ofthe'sugar to go -.
to the farmer and the- other half to '.
the factory: v > " 

wand. .Th'e pricelior beets-to be ‘

~ based on the average yearly sugar

sales by  factory. I _.
« “3111.: ; ,-Thex_-average7 extraction of

peach  tabs-used» a basis of

mm (in the . amount

‘ , of sugar ,in ,
 in  the price per ‘-

Logging, operations on farms '.

- Resolution. Presentod

will be necessary to have the follow-
ing clauses incorporated to protect
the grower. The grower: must have
the right to "buy'all his beets in su-
gar whenever he may so decide at the
factory price. The factory should
agree to store and sell the growers'
sugar. 4 A payment must be made on
the beets delivered each month fol-
v lowing delivery and abuse guarané
teed price of some sort must be had.
The factories claim they cannot run
' ona very low priced sugar and it
goes without saying that thegrower
cannot either.‘
We claim that inasmuch as we
have- as 'mnch. invested as the fact-
ories, employ six times the labor we
are asking a very fair‘proposition in
asking for half "of the beets and as-
suming our share of the chances of
the sugar market going down and a
low sugar content Mex-traction and
give the factories all the byeproducts.
Below is a table of the prices for
beets based on a 60-50 proposition
having the price determined on the
sugar content and the price of sugar.
It will be noticed that this scale 'act-
ually divides the heel: and the in-
crease or decrease in price of sugar
between. grower and factory—0. E.

MAINE GROWERS URGE POTATO
TARIFF
T THE last session of the Aroos-
took Co. ‘Pomona Grange held
at Presque Isle, Me., the com-
mittee on'tarilf reported, and a sharp
discussion followed by the members
as they considered it one of the
most important questions the grauge
has acted‘on for some time. Some
were in favor of trying to get the
present Dingley Bill through; while
others were very anxious to have
'strong‘resolutions presented to ap-
pear before the next Congress show-
ing the actual cost of producing‘a
barrel of 165 pounds of potatoes
what we were actually facing in ex-
change; that it cost $1.28 approxi-
mately. to deliver 165 poundsofpo-
tato‘es to N. Y.,. whereas Danish po-
tatoes could he landed in N. Y. for
25c per 165 pounds and the exchange
is approximately 40 per cent.

We cannot compete with the for-
eign countries and. stay in potato
farming in many sections of this
country with these differences. It'
was suggested that all our county
organizations get in touch with the
organizations in our leading western
potato producing states and see if.
they will co-operate and try and have
our next congress put at least one-
cent per lb. on all imported pota~
toes. Any farm organization man
reading this article and realizing the
situation, I would be glad to hear
from him in regard to his views on
the subject. We feel in this section
that we ought to all work combined-
ly as farmers on any particular in-
dustry to gain .suécess-‘Pomm Mar

THE SLEEPY HOUR n
OFTEN wonder if mother realiz-
es what the last kiss and tender
pat mean to a. child as she tuCks’

him into bed. Perhaps the caress
would be. given often'erand with add-
ed‘ gentleness if she knew what an
influence it had upon the unfolding
of a little new life.

Over. and over the brain repeats—
during the night the events of the
day, twisting themainto fantastic
shapes. These ideas float through
the mind of the child for eight to
tenhours out of the 24edur-ing one-
third to one-half of his life. Whether
the fancies will be happy or sad is
often determined by ‘the last half
hour before sleep begins. And the

require the addition of water only.
Home mixing of spraying solutions
involve considerable trouble and

any cheaper and certainlymo more
effective, provided the‘ buyer is
careful and purchases only standard
preparations.

Spraying is usually not very effect-
ive for such tree pests that work un-
der the bark as borers and worms
of this nature, but spraying with a
strong solution of whale oil soap
will kill all that can be reached. The
difficulty with this class of spraying
is to get the spray solution in con-
tact with them. Before spraying at
all, any pruning that is expected to
be done should be attended to. and
all prunings carefully collected and
burned. This simpliﬁes the work of
spraying and saves considerable of
the solution. Extreme care to leave
no breeding pests anywhere about
the orchard or farm will assist great-e
ly in getting rid of them entirely. for
if a few trees are left on some part
of the farm without attention insects
and scale will breed there in im-
mense numbers and will either mi-
gra-te to the sprayed trem or be car—
ried there by birds.

Economical Spraying Methods

It is usually—not necessary to have
a large sum of money tied up in
spraying equipment. unless orchard-
ing is carried on quite extensively.
We have a barrel sprayer operated by
a hand pump, and with an outfit of
this kind we can handle proﬁtably
anything except a very large acreage.
Two men and one horse is all that is
required for the operation of an
outﬁt of this kind. We carry about
twenty feet of one half inch rubber
hose and ten feet of half inch pipe on
which the nozzles are placed, and
this allows the operator to move
about freely from almost any posi—
tion. We’can spray all but extreme-
ly large fruit trees from the ground
with this outﬁt, it being necessary
to climb only in'rare cases. We also
use a small air pressure sprayer for
work on small nursery stock, which
we ﬁnd to be quite satisfactory for
use in the berry fields, and also
gives good satisfaction for garden
work and for spraying potatoes.

All spraying equipment is worth

‘ housing when not in use, and should

be thoroughly cleansed after each
using: Before storing away for the
winter special care should be used
to have it clean and free from all
chemicals, as some of the ingredi-
ents used in spraying are very cor-
rosive and will eat up metal parts
rapidly if they are not kept clean
and oiled. The rubber hose may
have to be renewed each year, and
with us it is dlncnlty to get them
to last even one season.

sits on the nest from two to three
nights in succession. and that most
of the feathers are gone from her
breast, which should feel hot to the

The normal
temperature of a hen is from 106 to
107 fahrenheit, which varies slightly
during incubation.

Dust the hen thoroughly with- in—

tention to regions around the vent

should also be sprinkled in the nest.

The nest should be in some quiet,

ting hen will not be disturbed. Move
her from the regular laying nest at

nor and treated as honored guests
until they left town. The next year
the Grayson teams were given a
splendid reception when they visit-
ed the town in which they had been
so ignored the preceding season. The
same ‘story'applies to the contests
with other nearby towns and not one
but has responded to the example set
at Grayson.

“Lessons in courtesy are just as
important as lessons in arithmetic,"
.Mr. Culver, a member of the school
board explained. “We wish our
country boys and girls to be just as
cultured as those in the city. There
is no reason why they shouldn't be.
Of course we are delighted with the
response in this case. to the example
set by the Grayson boys and girls.”

Frequently every member of the
school board accompanies the teams
on trips to nearby towns, hauling
part of the crowds. The board mem-
bers wish to see the games. They
are enthusiastic fans. Each year at
the beginning of the school season
they call on athletic teams and in—
quire what is desired in‘ the way of
equipment.

A Lesson in Saw Sharpening

“Saw sharpening day” was an-
nounced at the school recently. A
tenant farmer's son asked his fath-
er about taking the new saw to
school to have it set and sharpened.

The father declined to let anyone
take liberties with that saw. He
told the lad he might take the old

saw and that compromise was agreed
upon. '

“And you know,” the father told
a neighbor a few days later. “that
old saw works better now than the
new one.”

Pursuant to the expressed wish of
the- teachers, the parties around
Grayson are given Friday nights.
And there are parties now, like there
were years ago, before it became
fashionable for families in which
there were young people to move to_
the cities. The board meets with
the teachers once a month. Many
opponents of the school are now its
staunch friends. Others, who op-
posed the project because it would
increase taxes and spent ten times
the amount of the tax increase in
Court costs and attorney fees ﬁghting
the consolidation still are bitter. Oc-

Whenever there‘ are any_ handy
weight lambs in sight. heavy stock 2
goes a begging for buyers. The fat-
ter and better. ﬁnished the lamp is
the harder he is to sell. This is sure-
ly placing a penalty on enterprise for
no good feeder likes to sendqthem to

:h

.t.

The leading feature of the current
cattle market is the demand for light
weight steers. Feeders, who have
had h'eavysteers in the market, of
late, are completely discouraged with
the long feed for steers. Both whole-
salers and retailers afﬁrm- that ,meat
users prefer cuts from cattle of light
average weight. , ‘

It is reported that a serious epi—
demic of cattle plague‘is spreading
throughout Poland. Efforts to check
it seem to be futile. The various em-
bassies in Warsaw have been appeal-
ed to‘ for aid in the shape 'of motor
cars, veterinarians, disinfectants
and medicines. ' '

The need of an emergency tariff
measure is evidenced by the fact
thatycargoes of frozen sheep and
lambs continue to be- dumped on the
New York docks and that 28,000,-
000 pounds of imported butter reach-
ed the New York market in 1920. A
recent consignment of Australian
eggs broke the Chicago market.
Quite like looking the barn after the
horse is stolen is the passage of this
bill at this time but perhaps this pre-
caution would save us from the loss
of the ether horse.

During the early fall mont—hs‘ pork
loins sold at retail up around 50c a
pound, and during December they de—
clined to 20 to 25c and other pork
products suffered a corresponding
slump. Packers found much difficul-
ty at times in moving products and
often had a. large accumulation of
lard on hand, for which there was
comparatively limited demand. The
packers made many foreign contracts
which would» have aided the Ameri-
can producer greatly, but, many of
these contracts were canceled, to th
detriment of the trade.

Substantial increase 'in the- pro-
portion of female cattle suggests-
that feeders who took that stuff out
last fall are anxious to unload. Kill-
ers claim that cheap steers cost less
on the hooks than ‘cows'and when'
the stuff is advanced in pregnancy
penalization 'is severe. Shippers
grab anything resembling a yearling
heifer, and take most of the fat
kosher cows. Canning and cutting
grades have a' fairly reliable outlet
and bologna bulls sell readily at an
advance of 75c to $1 per cwt. over'
the December 10W spot, but all fe-
male cattle other than a. few special?
ties. are at the lowest levels since

There gt... two mm. or this disease

 which ‘affectes. cattle. externally, the

most common form is. that which is
seen at the angle of the‘lower jaw.

 Next in frequency as regards the 10-
I Wcatlbnis‘that form which involves

,‘ith‘e tissues lying in the space between
. the “two lower iaw bones. Not. quite
1:;7 sonfrequ’ent, but yet ‘common enough,
"is" another form Which .‘ai'fects the

« ormiddle-aged cattle. Old cattle are
only occasionally aﬂected. While it
.is presumed to be infectious, one
cow in a herd of dairy cattle may

"a have the disease in ‘a well—marked

form and not another animal in the
herd become affected, but often more
than one become affected, the num-
»ber. sometimes including twenty-ﬁve
per cent of large herds. When the
disease makes its appearance at the
angle of the jaw it is in the form of
a smooth lump or bunch.
early stage this bunch increases in
size, becomes more ﬁrm, and usual-
ly tends to become anchored or ﬁx—
ed to the bone. Later the center be—
comes necrotic, and the typical,
stringy, marrow-volcred pus is dis-
charged. If the case is not checked
at this time it may progress until

the bone itself is involved in the
disease process, and the treatment
then becomes difﬁcult. When the

d‘sease involves the tissues lying in
the space between the lower jaw
bones, we ﬁnd this space completely
ﬁlled with a mass of dense, apparent-
ly ﬁbrous tissue. If the disease has
existed here for some time, the en—
largement can be seen plainly with
the animal in a standing position;
the under sideof the jaWs between
.the chin and throat appears curved
from before backwards with a con-
siderable belly towards the bottom.
After a time this swelling breaks
down in one or more‘places. Usual-
‘ ly there are three or four openings,
and from these escapes this pus; the
[His in this location is usually thin
and lighter in consistency. The
treatment of this disease is-very sat-
isfactory when the disease has con-
ﬁned itself to soft tissues. When it
has invaded the dense tissue, bone or
cartilage, the treatment is not so
satisfactory. The treatment consists
of giving ,the animal two to three

.drams of potassium iodid dissolved.

in a little water three times daily
and painting the enlargement daily
with tincture of iodine. The cases
you have are both in the advanced
stage and treatment would not be
advisable, especially the one that in-
volved the bone. You have a per-
fect right to'I fatten these cattle, and
sell the meat provided the head is
remo’ved, the germ causing this di-
sease is found at. the seat of infec-
tion only, therefore,-by removing

the entire head, the rest of the car-.

.cass isl‘free from disease.

Mr. Dairy Farmer!

You are keeping cows for.what
money you [can make out of them,
are you not? You want cows that
willmake you the most money for
feed consumed, do you not? The
JERSEY will do this. She has prov-
enit in public‘ tests as well as in
private herds. She should; she has

been bred for over two hundred
years, for economical production.
This characteristic is ﬁxed. The

Jersey bull transmit it-to his daugh-
ters. Grade up your dairy herd by
using a pure bred Jersey Sire. It
will pay. Ask the man that has tried
it. He knows. Remember—Eco-
nomical Production is what we must
have to succeed. ”

Mr. W. P. G. Harding, Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, says, “Dumping of Farm products- on the market
promotes speculation. I am a ﬁrm believer in the policy of gradual and orderly marketing.” Every year corn and

grain prices slump heavily after harvest because of this heavy seasonal selling.

Farm marketing experts say that spreading the selling season
over a long period, would av01d these great ﬂuctuations. This
will stabilize prices and cut down the difference between the
price the farmer receives and the price the consumer pays— in
other words, it Will cut out the speculators’ proﬁts.

Thousands of farmers today are obtaining all‘the proﬁts from
their crops by storing them over the heavy selling season. They
get better prices than those who sell on a glutted market.

Modern storage structures enable them to hold their crops With- ~.
out loss and give them absolute protection against rats, mice, J

ﬁre and thieves.

if necessary. Your crops Will. be protected from rats, mice, ﬁre,

E. H. Dunlap of Missouri made $1250. in extra proﬁts in 2 years
by storing his corn and Wheat in a Martin Crib and Bin. Here
is what .he writes: ‘

"I held my 1918 crop of wheat in my Martin Crib and later sold it at an advance
of 30 cents per bushel, after which I ﬁlled it with white corn and held it until the
following Spring and'sold it at an advance of 61% cents per bushel,

“In 1919 I again held my wheat and made a proﬁt of 35'cents per bushel over '

what I was offered at the machine, and later ﬁlled it with corn which I delivered
at an advance of 40 cents per bushel. My extra proﬁts in two years over the

* price at harvest time, were $1250.00. This in addition tothe big saving from

rats, mice, mould, etc.” .
That’s the way to beat low grain“ prices and market ﬂuctuations
