the heaviestg burden ever placed!  were}???
resentativer of agriculture. The probiems of'
peace and'reconstruction have become far":
more difﬁcult than were the grievous M prob-
lemsr ozﬁ wartime, and American agriculture
ﬁnds -itSe1fr inrthe midst of the ' greatest - per:
phéxiti‘es in‘ history; The-'D'epartment of? Age

'riculture will have to lead in the solution of

these: problems. The selection of’ Mr; »Wal-.
lace gives assurance that it will pursue its
work vigorously, and-thht-its course of action
will=be: determined ' by: the- best counsel ‘ avail-
able. When. I. asked; Mr. Wallace recently-
about his"‘p‘lans for" the " Department of Agri--
culture, he repliet‘lgz “There’s plenty that"
needssdoitng in Washington, but I’m not giv—
ingot-1t: advance notices. I’d- rather: let my;
werk speak instead of? promises:”

Itis“ not;- however; difﬁcult to forecast some
of the probableEWalla‘ce policies, if? we read?
some of: his» recent writings or study. the'
things" said at the Minnesota: state fair- by
Senator: Harding, whose speech there Mr.
Wallace is, creditediwi'thi having: written. So
we read about thorough and» comprehensive
study of crop prO'd‘hction- and consumption,
bothf-h‘ere and abroad; researchesimmeth’ods
and mechanics of'marketing; studies of" the

‘factors which influence agricultural prices;

and? development of: agriculture in a" way that
will; produce both farm: 1 prosperity and plenty
of food for all the people.

‘ Henry C. Wallace was born May, 11, 1866
at Roekilsland, 111., the son offHenryv and Nan—
nie CantWell Wallace.- His father: was amoun-
try‘ preacher: in: Western; Illinois, W110: farmed

moved'to Eastern Iowa and later‘toi-«Cen‘tral;
Iowa. The subject of this sketch wasreared
both in the country and in small towns where
the family lived. His early training was re-
ceived in the public schools. In the middle?
eightiesAhe attended-the Iowa Agricultural;
College at Ames, then a struggling little
school with few friends» and without prestige,

In the spring of 1888, young Wallace aban-

doned’icollege for a farm. in Adair county, I

iOWa; where he lived ﬁve years; Shorthorn
cattleand Poland China hogs were his specq
ialt.ies,»- and his operations met' with‘ su'ccess.’
He began writing on pure-bredflivestock‘ top-
ics’ for the Breeders’ Gazette of Chicago,.-, a.-
fact which brought him to the notice of Deans
W. A; Henry" of the University'o-f Wisconsin;
Dean Henry prevailed " upon’ him’ to complete"
his college work, so we ﬁnd Henry C. Wallace
listed among the graduates of the Iowa‘A-gria-
cultural Cellege in 1892. He completed two
years" work in one, nearly wrecking his-"-
health in so doino'.

For two years Mr. Wallace was a'member‘
of the faculty of Ames, the late James Wilson
then being head of‘thc institution. His duties
were mostly in the dairy department, where“
the records show that he was instructor in'
butter making, cheese making, dairy cattle"

feeding. and management, and a variety of;

other things.

In 1894 Mr. Wallace purchased a farm pa-
per and began its publication at Ames. In
a few months his father and his brother J ehn
went intovpartncrship' (00%”an 0% page 17)‘

Detroit’s Remarkable Industrial Growth of Much Importance to_<Farmers‘ of Michigan 

 

and we believe they are, interested in the

‘city of Detroit and its growth. Its rapid
rise means much to them in the way of a better
market for their products; it means a large de-
mand which results in higher prices. And it
means increasing land values to the farmers.
Believing you are interested in Michigan’s me-
tropolis, we are publishing the “following article
taken from a recent issue of “The Detroitcrz”

NE NEEDS TO GO no further back than
~ , the beginning of this century to take the
measure of Detroit ’8 remarkable industrial
growth. When the Census Bureau’s canvass
Was taken covering the calendar year, 1899,
Detroit was sixteenth in rank among the in-
dustrial centers of the country, with $67,224,-
000 of manufacturing capital and $88,640,000
in value of product. Five years later it was
in twelfth place, with $91,338,000 capital and
a product valued at $128,247,000. In 1909 it
«was in sixth place, capital $210,000,000 and
product 252,992,000.

In the next ﬁve years it rose to fourth place
being surpassed only by New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia. Its manufacturing capital
had nearly doubled, being then $405,000,000,
and the value of the product had risen -to
$569,000,000.

. Maintains Position

The Census Bureau’s canvas covering the
year 1919 was taken in the course of. the next
year, but it is not likely to be available for
use till well along in 1921. From other
sources enough is known to give assurance
that the city has maintained its place as fourth
in rank, that its capital has again more than
doubled, and the value of the product was in
the, neighborhood of a billion and a half.

In 1914, the automobile production was
--va1ued at about $250,000,000, and there were
:only two other classes of manufactured pro-
ducts of which the value was over $20,000,000.
’These were foundry and machine shop pro-
ducts, $29,465,000, and slaughtering and
meat packing, $20,321,000. There were only
seven others that had a production of between

Brass and bronze products, adding machines,
malt liquors, patent medicines and compounds,
printing and publishing, soda ash and tobac-
co manufactures.

In 1919, the automobile production was val—
ued at about $880,000,000. Brass products,
which had amounted to $14,630,000 in 1914,
had risen to at least $50,000,000‘in the latter
year. In this product Detroit stands second
to Waterbury, Conn., the original home of
the brass industry in this country. ,

Published reports give the output of adding
machines for 1919 at over $30,000,000. All
of those above mentioned, except malt liquors
were above $20,000,000 in the latter year, and

‘It is impossible to ascertain the exact

amount of DetrOit manufactures that are ex-
ported, for the reason that many of the goods
destined to foreign countries go through” the
seabhard ports and do not appear on the
books of the Detroit custom house. In the

summer of 1920 the Board'of Commerce made . -

made a canvass of some 'of the leading lines.
The following represents approximately the
values of products ’set “apart for export in
that year: Automobiles and parts, $151,650,-
000; drugs and chemicals, $4,709,000; stoves
and furnaces, $3,575,000; adding machines,
$3,045,000; paints and colors, $950,000; ma-

rine motors, $832,000; machinery and small.

tools, $786,000; refrigerators and ﬁlters, $767,-
000; electrical machinery, $600,000; miscel-
laneous iron products, $623,000. '
In many lines Detroit; manufacturers haVe
not sought foreign trade until lately, as the
home demand afforded a. sufﬁcient market.

ed for export trade, especially with South
American countries. "

Industrial Employes

Although there is no complete canvass of-

manufacturing industries except that made
by the Census Bureau once in ﬁve years, the
reports of the state labor commissioner show
the annual drift of employment and wages.
The Census Bureau, in Considering the ~1at-
ter, takes into account only establishments

working under the factory system, that is-

those using power and machinery. .w
The laborcommissioner includes also the

hand trades and neighborhood industries,
such as blacksmith shops, millinery shops,
automobile repair garages and hand up-

holsteries; also the shop work of the various
city departments. In 1909 there was a diff-
erence between the two classiﬁcations . of
about 5,000. ' The number of industrial em—
ployee given here is that furnished by the
labor commissioner’s report. It includes the
city proper and Hamtramck and Highland
Park, which were ﬁrst established by the ov-
erflow of Detroit (Continued 0% W96 18)

fimust control, just as they control -‘the"ir"'fari'n

éick C. Howe, economist and America’s leading
authority on cooperative banking and Credit,

was the central theme of a day’s discussibn of - '

cooperative banks and credit institutions by
the American Cooperative Congress in Cleve.
land, Ohio, on February 10. _,

The American Cooperative Congress is a
« sort of institute for the study of evceoperative
problems. It was formed by “a few labor
ileaders and farm cooperators "Who Want to
window the fundamental facts ‘nabeuty'ccepera-
ltion,‘ and ‘vv'h‘ofemploy experts *to -“'ﬁon‘d '-'out
these facts. Dr. Howe is V _
I‘Z'CO’mmitteeLOn"banking and ere‘dit, [and »' has
«Spent the-paStxyearin reSearehes on this ques-
tion. His reports to the Cleveland cenven-
tion brought out many new angles to this
problem, which is one of the chief questions
before farmers and others "who are ,' interested
‘in the success of large cooperatiVe enterpris-
* es.

- “The present banking and credit facilities
of the United States are totally unsuited to
the needs of the“ farmers and other producing
classes,” said ‘Dr. Howe. “Ordinary com-
-mercial credit flows to the point of highest
Fret-urns. There is more money in speculative
itransactions than in production, hence specu-
i‘lators have command of the present-day bank-
' ing system. Thirty years ago the banks were
fairly well identiﬁed with productive enter-
iprises—today they are closely allied with
various forms of speculation and are dis-
‘-tantly removed from production. WI make
=:these statements without ‘m‘alice to anyone,
simply stating facts known to every student
of ﬁnance.’_’ 1.

There is no use hoping for the reform of
this situation through legislation, according
: to Dr. Howe. “Banks are mostly Owned by
the commercial classes, the speculators and
timiddlemen,” he said. “Theseibanks are de-
':signed to solve the special prObl‘ems Which
confront these interests which OWn them. The
' railroad banks were created to solve the cred-
it and ﬁnancial problems of the railroads. 'I
do not see how it will be possible for anyleg-
‘islation to be enacted to compel them to meet
"farmers’ ﬁnancial needs. The remedy of the
farmers seems to me to be perfectly obvious—-
"the organization of a system of farmers’ 'c'o—
inoperative banks and credit institutions that

The Manufacture of Neufchatel and

Cream Cheese

In this article the production of
the Neufchatel group of cheese is
considered from two points of view,
(1) for home consumption and (2)
for marketing on a small scale.
-  Quality of Milk ~

Thequality of milk is "the first

 consideration in the production of
.- good Neufchatel or cream cheese-

Milk which is sour or has undergone

'not be used. By the use of fresh,

lack of uniformity in ripening often
requires a more deﬁnite means of
controlling the acid fermentation,
which may be accomplished by the
use of a “starter.”
The Use of Starters

A "starter" is a quantity of milk

that has soured and which contains

large numbers of acid-forming bac-

teria. If the cheese is made in small
quantities for home consumption, a
starter is probably not advisable.
Theladvantages of a starter is prob-
ably‘ not advisable. The advantages

Standardizing the Milk

In making cream cheese for the

3

With 4 per cent milk available, if
one-third-of the quantity is run thru
a cream separator and the cream
added to the remaining two-thirds,
milk testing aproximately 6 per cent
is obtained. If the milk tests only
3 'per cent it will be necessary 'to
separate one-half. This method
gives satisfactory results for home
manufacture, but for more extensive
operations it is advisable to use a
Babcock tester in order to standard—
ize the milk accurately.

The following illustrates an easy
method of deter-mining' the propor—
tions of milk and cream of different
per cent of fat needed to make up
6 per 'cent milk:

Cream and milk on hand—34 per cent
cream; 4 per cent milk.

Proportions to be used—2 parts cream;
28 parts milk.

If it is desired to make up a defi-
nite quantity of 6 per cent, milk, for
example, 60 pounds, the procedure

cent milk is 28-30 times 60, or 56‘ 

pounds.
Making the Cheese

The process described is identical
for Neufchatel and cream cheese, ex-
cept for a few minor differences
which will be mentioned-

Setting—Unless otherwise noted, ,
30 pounds, or about 3 1-2 gallons of I
milk, is the unit used in these d1- ,
rections; that quantity can be hand- ;
led conveniently in a shotgun can.
For smaller quantities any enameled

or heavily tinned pail is satisfactory. * '

If a starter is added, it is advisable
to use a quantity equal to 1 or 1 1—2
per cent of milk; while smaller quan-
tities may be used, the proportion.
suggested are usually the most sat»
isfactory.

Neufchatel is made from ordinary
milk, while the cream cheese requir-
es milk containing about 6 per cent

Titan 10-20-9me Economy Farming

DURING THE YEAR 1921

AND THE YEARS TO COME

RACTORS come and tractors go but Titan 10-20 continues its steady
traveling along the roads of popularity, and in the ﬁelds of labor, oon- «
quering the most difﬁcult of practical farm tasks.
Theories and experiments in design and construction run their course
among manufacturers and among farmers — and leave behind a varied
history. But the service record of Titan has ken a revelation in the agri-
cultural world. Its record as an efﬁcient farm poWer unit has been, to state
a plain truth, convincing.
' During its history, Titan sales have swept ahead; this tractor has carried
its Success into every county and Country. Yet, except for minor improve-
ments and betterments, Titan design has remained unchanged. It has stood
the test of time, the test of hardest, roughest usage, the test of strenuous com-
petition, so that to date the farming world has invested over seventy million
dollars in Titans. Can there be better proof of thorough practicability?
Titan 10-20 is now more than ever standard because it is fundamentally
simple, enduring, reliable, right. Do not be deluded by initial false economy.
Increase the eﬁiciency of your work for 1921 by an investment in this
power. The International dealer is the man to see.

announcements «of the cseason was

hulustrial conditions :in the 'De-
troit district are said :to "be improv-
ing, slowly, several manufacturers,
who specialize in Ford accessories,
having called in a portion of their
men and are operating on :limitcd
time schedules with a fair prospect.
of soon being able to go full speed
ahead. .

’Both the business public of this
country and many men in private
life have been waiting impatiently
for the president-elect to select his
cabinet; the list has been completed
during the past week and the gen-
erdl verdict seems to be that Mr.
Harding did a good job. There was
.a feeling abroad in the land, that the
future prosperity of this great coun-
try could be made or marred by the
selection of men for Secretary of
State, Secretary of Commerce, ‘Sec—
rotary of the Navy and the depart-
ments of Justice and Agriculture.
From the standpoint of buSiness
prosperity, alone, the departments
of {State and Commerce will prob-
ably have the most far-reaching in-
ﬂuence and men of all panties seem
to agree that no better mu ‘than
Hughes and .Hoover cotﬂd. have been
found do .take these important part-
folios. The readers of The Michigan
Business Farmer are, of course, very
much interested in the appointment
for Secretary of Agriculture; .if
there was ever a time in the history
of :this country, when the American
farmer needed a faithful friend, that
ﬁlm is right now and Where "is every
“on to believe «hat Mr. Banding
hm selected the right man for this
important trust.

While money seems -to be fairly
plentiful in the ‘New York ﬁnancial
district as indicated ‘by snail] .mnoy
at~6 per cent on the New York Stock

that money is tighter tinrthc interior

The wheat markets ’had :a period
of weakness during the ﬁrst part of

made only to give way to a stronger
tone later but the closing day of the
week saw markets very erratic. ‘De-

strong but developed weakness abe-
fore the close. In spite of the offer-
ing by our competitors foreigners
are on the watch for wheat in this
country and any sharp break ﬁnds
them buying readily. Greece spur-

Oats have followed the trend of
the other grains closely since our
last writing and is easy at this time.
Farmers have not been offening oats
very freely owing to the low price
but the past few days have seen
more liberal receipts which has re-
‘sulted in a weaker market. The

sown in March or April will be in-
jurious to the growth of wheat or
rye will depend to a large extent up-
on the n-ature of the soil. If the
soil is well drained, contains an abun-
dance of lime and available plant
food, and the sweet clover receives
plenty of manure, it will make a
fairly rank growth and may grow
high enough so that considerable
sweet clover will be cut when the
smal grain is cut. On the other hand
if the soil is "somewhat light or has
been cropped heavily and does not
contain an abundance of plant food
it is likely to prove injurious to the
small grain. Would recommend seed-
ing the sweet clover at the Same time
that the oats are sown.

The seed bed should be Well com-
pacted, since loose seed beds are fre-
quently the cause, of failure to se-
cure a stand of sweet clover.——-C'. R.

man. This man built a. dam‘and then
he made out a deed and in my deed be
reserved the privilege of booming logs,

man who had the dam has been out of
business for twenty years, as his dam
a power dam and they overflowed ten

acres of my best land, and they claim

WANTS TO RETURN HORSE

On September 23, this year, I had I.
public sale, and in the sale I sold I.
horse for $74.50. The man took her
home and kept her a month and one day
he came back and said he couldn't work
her, but he said he didn’t want me to
take her back; he just wanted to know
what'to do to her to make her work.
told him I never did anything to her,
she always worked for me. so I took a.
half day of! and went with him to his
home ten miles away and showed him
she would work all right. Then he kept
her another month when he came back
and said she wasn't any good, Now I
don't want any trouble about this if I
can get around it. I would like to know
what he can do about lt—Subscriber,

A TIP TO SHJPPE-RS
Investigation of a. large number of
complaints listed with us against De-
troit Commission ﬁrms show that in

"the majority of cases the commission

ﬁrms deliberately try to swindle their
customers out of a part of their re-
turns. In, some instances, however,
the fault is with the shipper if he does
not receive returns to which he thinks
Anyone who ships a-
crate of poultry or a. consignment of
hogs to a commission ﬁrm in a dis-
tant city should ﬁrst know something
about the reputation of the people
with whom they are dealing. More-
over, just prior to shipping, the farm-
er should wire his commission house
for the latest quotations. More im-
portant than all he should write or
wire his commission house the instant
the stuff is shipped so that the com-
mision ﬁrm may !be on the lookoutfor
it. It frequently happens tha‘ pro-
duce is received in poor condition.
with tags missing, and nothing to in-
dicate who it is from. In such cases
the commission ﬁrm simply must ac-
cept the best he can get for the goods
and wait until some disgruntled
shipper writes in to ﬁnd out why he
hasn’t received his returns—Editor.

THE FEDERAL STOCK \FOOD
COMPANY AGAIN A

On June 1st I went to Boyne City ,

and met their agent, a Mr. Coyle, the
Company having written me request-
ing me to do so, stating that they
wanted an agent to, handle their
goods in this territory. Mr- Coyle

gave me ayery glowing account of y - -

the business their agents were doing '

in other places,

stating that their "

“indemnity bond” was in reality or

live stock insurance; that they “paid
for all losses of cattle, sheep, horses
and hogs where their stock salt was
fed. Stated that the only stock they
did not cover by said bond was horse
es having heaves and well hogs in a
drove where cholera'existed, but that

after the drove was free from chol- A

era they were then taken.

Mr. Coyle did not use the words
“contagious diseases” during our
conversation in any only as mention-
ed in regard to hog‘cholera. He
made this remark several times: “It

, may seem a funny thing to say, but

loss-es are what we want. An indemw

nity paid is our best advertisement.’.’ 

I asked him many questions and

one in particular was in‘regard to A

loss of young lambs- I did'this as "I

had lost several lambs from no cause.  “

whatever that I could see. They

would appear to be in perfect health, ‘

still "I would ﬁnd "dead once every‘
few days.

such lambs and I replied, ,“$3_ to "$5

vants), and rent paid for farm lands
and buildings (other than the dwell—
ing) cost of repairs to fences, wagons
and machinery are deductible items.
Also bills paid for horseshoeing,
stock powders, rock salt, veterinary
services, insurance (except on dwell-
ing) gasoline for operating power,
and sundry minor expenses.

Cost of purchase of farm machin-
ery of permanent character, such as
a threshing machine, and“ extensive
repairs to farm buildings, such as
, placing a new roof on the barn, are
not deductible expenses, but are re-
garded as capital investments.

The automobile and motor truck
now form a part of farm equipment.
The cost of such vehicles is not an
aIIOWable deduction, but cost of oper-
ation may be claimed if they are used
exclusively for farm ,‘purposes, and
not for pleasure or convenience. A1—
so, in such cases, claim may be made
for a reasonable deduction for de-
preciation of such vehicles-

Losses incurred in the operation-
of a farmv as a business enterprise
are deductible from gross income.
If, however, farm productsare held
for a- favorable market no deduction
on account of shrinkage in weight
or physical value by reason of deter—
ioration in storage is allowed. Loss
by frost, storm, flood or ﬁre of a
prospective crop, or of a brop which
has not been sold is not deductible.
Thereason for this rule is. that un—
less the crop reaches maturity and
is harvested and sold, its value is’
never included in gross income, and
the farmer has so much less income
to report. The same is true with re-

has been purchased and afterwards

dies, or is killed by order of Federal

or State authorities, the actual pur—
chase price, less any depreciation pre-
viously claimed, and less any insur—
ance and indemnity recovered, may
be claimed. In’ determining the cost
of stock for the purpose of ascer-
taining the deductible loss ‘there
shall be taken into account only the
purchase price and not any cost of
feed, pasturage or care which has
been deducted by the farmer as a
cost _of farm operation.

General deductions such as for
taxes, interest on personal indebted—
ness, losses sustained in transactions

entered into for proﬁt aside from the

farmer’s regular‘ business, losses sus—
tained by ﬁre, storm or other casu-
alty, bad debts and contributions are
explained in instructions on the forms
for ﬁling returns-

The term “farm,” as deﬁned by
Treasury regulations, includes stock
farm, dairy farms, poultry, fruit and
truck farms, also ranches, plantations
and “all land used for farming op—
trations.”

Ho be a total loss

The stove is the most common cause
of ﬁres in rural districts. A chair
pushed too close or overheated wood-
work often spells disaster in a stove-
heated home. A COZy Pipeless Fur-
nace installation reduces ﬁre hazard
to a minimum.

 

business man who operates a farm ;

for recreation or pleasure and not
for proﬁt may not, if the farm ex-
penses exceed the receipts, deduct
such loss in his individual return of
income. In such an instance the cost
of farm operation is regarded as a
“personal” expense, andtherefore is
not deductible.

A farmer who keeps his account on

‘ the “receipts and disbursement” bas-

is—which means a record of the
amount received and the amount
paid for expenses—~should ﬁle his in-
come tax return for the year 1920
on that basis. Another method is the
keeping of books of income and ex—
penses on the “accrual” basis, which
is required of all persons whose ac—
counts are kept on such basis.

For those keeping their accounts
on the accrual basis, inventories are
necessary at the beginning and end
of each taxable year. The gross
proﬁts are obtained .by adding to the
inventory value of live stock and
farm products on hand at the end of
the year amounts received from the
sale of stock and products and other
miscellaneous receipts during the
year, and deducting from this sum
the inventory value of stock and pro—
duce on hand at the beginning of
the year, plus the cost of stdck and
produce purchased during the year.

Farmers may change the basis of
their returns for the year 1920 from
that of receipts and disbursements
to'that of an inventory basis. There

_should be included in the opening

inventory all farm products, includ—

ing live stock purchased or raised,

which were on hand at the date of
the inventory, and there must be
submitted with the return for the

.year 1920 an adjustment sheet for

1917, 1918 and 1919 based on the
inventory method- Upon the amount
of these adjustments the tax will be
assessed and paid (if any is due) at
the rate in effect for each respective

Bad Milk and Worse Publicity!
' ICHTGAN milk producers will not look
with-a great amount of favor on the
sensational publicity which the Washington
correspondent of the Detroit "News got all

‘hct-up’ over last week and which appeared

under the glaring head of “Children of Mich—

igan Monaced by Bad Milk!”

. All of which was based on the report of the
Bureau of Animal Industry which stated» that
from a total of 236 owners of accredited herds
(that is, those which have passed two annual

inspections by government ofﬁcers without
showing any diseased animals in the herd),

‘94 answers to questionnaires had been received

which seemed to indicate that “approximate-

ly” ﬁve per cent of all the cattle in Michigan
, “are still infected with tuberculosis and the
percentage is even higher among milch cows.”

Now the facts as stated may be in accord-
ancc with the 94 answers out of236 whom the
department asked] Five per cent of the cat-
tle now on the farms of Michigan may 'be in-
fected, altho we doubt very much if this av-
erage will be as high as any other leading
dairy state in the union. We shall --&nv.est-i-
gate those ﬁgmrcs and have more to say upon
the subject when we have seen the complete
analysis.

The point at issue is, that at a time [when
the consumption of milk in Detroit, our great-
est consumer, is at low ebb. When dairymen
are at their wits end to know ‘how they can (af-
ford to feed and milk their cows at the pres-
ent prices. When the distributors, to their
credit, are spending more than ever in adver—
tising of every ‘kind to increase the consump—
tion of milk in ctroi-t, an article of this kind
should appear when the simplest investiga—
1'rm would {have shown that all milk sold in
Detroit must :‘be pasteurized and therefore ab—
solutely free from disease germs
reaches the consumer. ’

Editorially in :the :same :issue the 'NcWS
seeks to repair this sort of destructive public-
ity shy pointing out the need for the approp-
riation of $150,000 which the Michigan Bur-
eau of Animal Industry has asked from the
legislature for this years campaign .‘against
the disease and even states that “this item
might reasonably :be enlarged,” but for 

,. ~.0nc who read this editorial comment-althou-
and terriﬁed fathers and anxious mothers
read the glaring head-line “Children 'Menaccd

 Bad Milk” and pnemptly put mile in the

T‘ category of rizpeéoli'ves and spinach. So when

Give the great milk industry the support
it deserves, a fair price based, on present
costs, a consumption of a quart-a-day by
every man, woman and child, efﬁcient and ec-
«onomical distribution, and Detroit will have
the‘purest, cleanest and cheapest milk supply
in the World and incidentally a market for
its trucks and automobiles which will start

A Michigan Man Secretary. of the Navy

" * DWIN "TDENBY, a Detroiter of stenling
worth  .been' given the portfolio of
Secretary of the Navy, ‘by President Harding
and all Michigan will be proud of this Wise
selection. Mr. Denby grew. up in China,
knows the language, the customs and the
thought .of the Qccident, was admitted «to the
:bar in our 0WD state, was congressman and
«when the great war caught America in its

"rmad whirl, enlisted as apriVate in the “.devil-_

dog” marines, because he “wanted to .be an
.example’ ’ for men young enough to be :his
sons, who were trying by hook and crook to
get soft commissions from whence they could
march in the parades and still never 'get
nearer to a cannon’s mouth than the ones
mounted in the cityparks. ‘
We hope, if for reasons of economy alone,
that «the nations of the world will turn the
energy, time and money which is wasted in
foolish preparation for wars, into channels
which make this a better place to live in and
not an easier place to die in, long before Ed-
win‘ Denby retires from ofﬁce. But so long
as We must build .a navy and maintain it, we
do not believe a better prepared or more sym-
pathetic man could have been selected to {ﬁll
this post in “President Hardingb cabinet.

’PATHE’T‘IC little story was once writ-

ten of .a very frugal man who had fal-
len into the habit of picking up trifling things
which he saw laying in the street. Gne day
3he spied a piece :of string in the market place.
“It might come :in handy,” he thought,pso he
picked it up and stowed it away in his pock-
et. A few minutes later it was rumored
around the market place that a purse had
been lost containing a considerable sum of
money. Instantly some one recalled having

a

  

r thought it a'very cheap zazlibi. When he ex:

plained his habit of picking up little things
his neighbors all laughed at him, and Said
that nobody but a crazy man would pic}: up a
tiny piece of string. " The‘thing weighed on

"the thrifty man’s mi.  was strictly»
honest, and the accusation that he had found
and ‘kept a. purse belonging to "someone else,

worried him. ‘In Vain he tried to prove' his
innocence; in vain he told over and over
again the story of the string; everywhere «he
got the same‘rcception. He was ibrandedias
a thief, a rogue and a. liar, and soon lost ~the
respect of all his neighbors, and the rest, of
his life he lived in shame and misery, all "be
cause of a little piece of string.
This story  told here because it is quite
m typical of the spirit of modern times. ’ The
thrifty are extremely unpopular in this czar-Z.
travagant era. It is the spend-thrift. who
gets the hand of applause. There is nothing
:but scorn for the frugal who wear patched
clothes and shoes, and travel on foot or iby
horse instead of automobile. The penny "is 3'9.
despised coin. No one thinks of saving it any
more.

The American people .are notorious the

world over for their extravagance in both pri-
vate and public life. It has been estimated
that millions of dollars could be saved each
year from the sums which are thrown! away
.in the ordinary daily routine of living. And
it is quite certain that hundreds of millian
could “be saved to the taxpayers that are now
being wasted by extravagant public ofﬁcials.

Take the matter of public printing. Thous-

ands of tons of valuable paper are wasted in .

the printing of reports and bulletins which
are sent to people who are either dead or 0th;
crwise have no use for them. A watchful
public oﬁ‘icial over at Lansing while rummag-
ing through some of the mailing lists discov~
ered the names of contain people listed asmany
as ten times, that ha dreds of others ‘had
moved away, and still thers were long since
dead and buried. He discovered that thous-
ands of dollars worth of printed matter was
being sent to people who had *no earthly use
for it, and only threw it in the waste paper
basket as soon as received. “He also found
that much ‘w'orthless data'was being publish-
ed as a part of the Michigan Manual, at a
cost of several thousand dollars. As a result
of this man ?s investigations and recommenda-
tions the state of Michigan Will"be saved near-
ly $550,000 this year on printed matter. The

same situation exists in all Other states and

in the national government as well. Fortunes

are spent every year :by the national agovern- V

meat in printing bulletins which are put ‘to
no more valuable use than to kindle ﬁres.

Let’s getbac’k to good, old-fashioned econ—
omy in both private and public affairs, and

Toledo district. Paulding, Hancock
and various other counties in-‘Ohio.
Is .it any wonder"-that they felt sure
that they were going to have a sug-
ar campaign in Michigan? They
drew more beets from those points
under a high railroad rate when coal
cars were scarce, when they could
'have made arrangements with their

-.. ‘REPEAL THE ‘P‘RI‘MARY LAW

' i T SEEMS to me that there are .good

reasons for the repeal of the pri-

_ mar-y electiOn law. First, I will

,go back to the time the «demand was

_ fmade for the legis’lature-toxenaot the

imass of the people were calling for
"ﬁpri'mary re‘tormf”

1At that time .I was a member of

that‘ the taxing at the people or Mich-

cent of the students, cannot be sanc-
tioned ~-by strict justice.

“Granted, that the university 'is

their already-heavy ﬁnancial burdens
‘some portion of the costrof educating
people from other states and from
other countries? A recent ﬁnancial
report states that but a small per
cent of the cost, to Michigan, caused

.-~by those foreign students, is paid by

those students.
It \is a trite saying that “Charity

begins at home” and it would appear -

that the heavy tax burden ‘which the
people of Michigan are now bearing,
should be ample reason for not open—
ing the doors of Michigan institu—
tions to others than her own citizens.

I

   

EXPLAIN “DISAPPEARANOE” on

SPUD CROP ,-
thinking our_ f
spud crop should have sold for
a fair price had they been fed

“to the market as needed as these:

The claim was made that our crop

‘was 70 million bushels too large to

have them sell for a good price, but
the best authority we have on the
crop, a man who'has not, to my
knowledge, made a mistake in esti-
mating the crop in the past 15 years
or more says the government report
was about 55 milion bushel too high.
That wipes out the most Or that 70
million bushels surplus.

We were informed by the «Rural
New Yorker a conservative paper,
last fall, that 10 to 15 per cent of
the crop in‘the east had rotted.
They Were affected with dry rot and

that never lets up as long as the crop

lasts. They will keep right on rot-
ting to the end of the season. This
does away with the balance of that,
'70 million bushels and then some.

‘A large part of this state never
had any poorer crop than we had last
summer. Up Grand Traverse way
where the big crop was said to be is
a mighty small portion of the potato
belt, hardly a drop in the ocean by
comparison.

Again this open warm winter is

"almost sure to be followed by a cold

backward spring that will freeze out
the crop in the South.

Now who says the price of spuds
shouldn’t go up to a decent ﬁgure
even with‘business in the condition
it is in?

Jobless men, after receiving the
enormous wages they have been get-
ting for several years back ought to
be able to buy food for a long time
to come. Food prices to the con-
sumer haven’t fallen only 10 to 25
per cent, to the farmer they have
gone down from 50 to 75 per cent,
and on some kinds of stuff, 100 per
cent—A. L. Lambertson, Kent Coun-
ty, Michigan.

 

Lor’ bless you, friend Lambertson,
don’t I hope you’ve got the right hunch!
Wouldn’t I give a year’s salary to have
spuds hit the dollar mark by April lst?
Now about this flooding the market, you ,
know I’ve never believed in it, “Orderly
marketing” has alwayu; been my hobby.
Some farmers won’t always get the top
price, but few of them will get the bot- ‘
tom price either. In time of over-pro-
duction, normal production and even
under-production, orderly marketing of
crops yields the greatest returns to the
greatest number. Buy say, don’t fool
yourself about the city workingman hav-
ing any of his fancy wages left to buy
food with, for he hasn’t. In the ﬁrst
place his wages weren’t so fancy as
some have pictured. In the second
place, it cost ’him a lot more to live
than 'before the war; and in the third
place what he didn’t spend for the nec-
essaries of life, he spent for moving pic-
tures, silk shirts and the like. There
are exceptions to the rule, of course, but
the rule is that the average man who has
been, out of a job for three months, is
“busted” flat, and eats his beans and
potatoes from hand to mouth, Editor.

BLUE LAWS IN TERFERE WITH
, LIBERTY '
MAKE no war whatever on the
man who believes that Sunday
should be observed as a Sabbath,
but I certainly do object to his try-
ing to compel anyone else to observe
the day. 4
When the Lord’s Day Alliance or
any other association announces that
they desire to get legislation that
will in effect
the individual conscience, and when
they give out that they desire a re-
turn to .the Puritan Sunday, we have
a perfect right to investigate the
workings of that sort of laws when
they were enforced, and we also have
a right to expect that once started
on such a line of legislation men will
not stop until they have all they

have ever asked for or wished they_

might have.

The Puritans did not know or

practice even the simplest and plain- .

est principles of religious liberty;
al the wanted or understood was to
have liberty to do as they themselves
thought right, and they laid heavy
hands upon those who dared to dis-
sent from their standards.

Modern apostles of a return to the
h‘ro law“. have noclearer
vision than did their prototypes, and
when they get the laws called for
\vi‘l lay ins" as heavy hands on any
objecting minority that may be
found.

It is just as true today as it was
in the days of Paul that if righteous—
ness be by the law then Christ is
dead in vain, and without entering
at this time into the question of
which day of the. week is the chris-
tian Sabbath, it can be said with the
positive assurance that if it is
“Christian” it should be observed
as Christ would have observed it,
and the at‘itude of Christ’s follow-
ers toward those who do not observe
it should he decided exactly in harm—
ony with the way Christ talked and
acted toward those who did not fol—
low him or believe on him when he
was here on earth as our example.
Christ S‘lld, “If any man hear my
words and believe not. I judge him
not: to“ i come not to judge the
world but to save the world. He that
rejecioth inc and reoeiveth not my
words. hath one that judgeth him;
the word th-it T have spoken the
same slizili judge him in the last
.day."

But to many of the prefessed fol—
lowers of the lowly Jesus, waiting
till the last day for some of their
fel‘owmen to he judged is waiting
altogether too long. and these relig—
ions enthusirists like Pharisees of old,
want the ones whom they account
as offenders to be judged now, and
the pains and penalties that God has
reserved to himself to give at the
end of the iourney to be inflicted
fnr‘hwith.

'MY RECIPE FOR GOOD BREAD

. HEN DRAINING the boiled po—
tatoes at supper I save the
water. When cooled I drop

in one cake of either Magic or Yeast ‘

Foam. Just before retiring I add
enough water to make three pints
and stir in one seivefull of flour.
Cover and sit where it will keep just
warm. In the morning after break-
fast I add one more quart of warm
water, tablespoonful of salt and, two
spoonfuls of sugar. Add enough
flour to make the sponge stiff enough
to just drop off the spoon. Let this
set for one hour. Now take mixing
bowl, put in-three heaping seives of
flour; make a hollow in the middle
and pour in your sponge. I now add

two tablespoons of melted shorten—_

ing. Mix this into a ﬁrm cake with
the hands and brush over the top
with a little melted shortening. Set
where it will raise gradually for
about three hours- Then take bread
board and without the use of any
more flour I pull off as much as I
want for one loaf and knead into
shape without punching it too much.
This amountwill usually make about
six good sized loaves. 'When I take
it from the oven I brush lightly over
the tops with a little grease and cov-
er as this will make the crust soft,"

and will not. crumble in cutting.

I certainly agree with our editor
when it comes to the question of
dress. If young girls would not car-r

’Some Domestic Needs

ROBABLY it would be impossi-
Pble to ﬁnd a woman anywhere

who didn’t thing that she had ur-
gent domestic needs of some kind.
If it were not for equipment, ‘it
would be for help; and if it were
for neither equipment nor help, it

would be for a smaller or larger
house, or something else which bulk—
ed as important in her mind’s eye.

Not that women, are inclined to be
dissatisﬁed, but rather that they are
getting out of the old way of follow-
ing the line of least resistance and
are beginning to think and plan
along commonsense, constructive, la;
b0 aving lines.

Th, woman on the farm is much
more likely to have crying domestic
needs, becauseof lack of average
conveniences,.than her town sister.
There are several reasons for this,
but the two principal ones are the

expensive equipment/in the way'Of‘

barns, silosyuand machinery neces-
sary -to insure anwincomeyjand» her

own inclination to get along fer the _

present with justjwhat she, has.  ,

Her ‘very- virtues in the way; of ..
thrift and-patienceare often prone
to cause her tonacriiice Etoor‘mgu‘ch.‘
and to be unnecessarily ‘:‘uns‘elﬂ§ir,".
There is. such a thingfdsdeliberatelyfﬁ:

.ry the present styles to excess we

would be more comfortable than any
generation so far. I think that if

some mothers would just set their ‘

foot down on these things we could
do away with them. But what-are
we to do when even some older wom-
en will appear on the streets dressed
up like a ﬁgure in a show window
and look for remarks from the male
contingent? Girls generally follow
.a leader and when they see this they
think that if so-and-so can wear that
and get away with it I know I would
look better than she does. Too many
mothers allow their~daughters to
dress as they please and if anyone
remarks about it they only throw up
their hands with a sigh and exclaim,
“Well she thinks she knows more
than her mother and I can’t
thing with her.” Whose fault is it,
the girl’s or the mother’s? Girls
seem to have the idea that they can-
not catch a fellow unless they are
strictly up to the latest thing in
fashions, but if any of my girls were
“floppy galoshes,” as Uncle ‘Rube
Spinach says, those galoshes Would

Ventured out. It is up to the moth-
ers to get busy and put the thought
away that their girls are beyond
theirpower while living at home and
under her care. Times and styles
are continually changing, but a girl’s
one idea is to dress so as to attract
and it must be pounded into their
minds that they do not attract when
dressed the way they are at present,

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
0 MRS. Jenney I would like_to
send greetings and hope she
makes a huge success of the
Home Department. Here is just a
hint or two for the page. 'When cot-
ton blankets have become thin and
worn in the centers I take the bord-

little girls. .

In making cabbage salad if one
adds a little ground up fresh apples
and a few raisins it makes it more
tasty.

If you have no eggs add a tea—
spoonful of corn starch to your cakes
and they will be quite light. Also
for frosting take one cup of granu-
lated sugar, half cup of thin cream
and half spoonful of butter, boil un-
til it becomes a soft ball in cold wa-
ter and whip until it becomes the
consistency of fudge and spread be—
tween and on top of cake.’

To clean water bottles or vinegar
Jugs that have become discolored
from the liquids take a handful of
ﬁne pebbles and shake in the re—
ceptacle with a little strong soap and
warm water and they will become
quite clear. _

Guess this is enough for this time
and wishing the M. B. F. the best of
luck—Mrs. 0. A. Byers, Schoolcraft

Bureau of Internal Revenue will ac-

reflect the income on the inventory
basis for each year. The inventor-
ies must not include real estate,
buildings, permanent improvements
or other assets subject to deprecia-

Farmers whose net income for
1920 was $5,000 or less should make
their indi'idual return on Form
1040A. Those whose net income was
in excess of $5,000 should use Form
1040. To the form used should be
attached Form 1040F, the special
form for the use of farmers. Full
instructions for making out the
forms are contained in each.

the machine and‘ not the man that
does the work in these days, in the
Highland Park factories there are
more than two unskilled laborers to
one that is skilled, and in Ham-
tramck the proportion was two and
one-half to one. In Detroit proper
the skilled men outnumber the un-
skilled, there being 88,788 of the
former and 78,849 of the latter.

In Highland Park, there is one
foreman to every 10 workmen: in
Detroit one to 32, and in Hamtramck
one to 5.

the road, for the total number of
traveling salesmen in Highland. Park
is seven; in Detroit it is 2,597 and
in Hamtramck, 74‘ ’

There has been a marked diminu-
tion of late years in the number of
minors employed in Detroit factor-
ies- As long ago as 1912, with a
total salaried ofﬁcial and wage-earn-
er list of 149,000 there were 1,472
boys and 1,154 girls under 16. In
1919, with a. total of employee near-
ly twice as large, the number of
boys under 16 was only 303 and of
girls 176. In 1918 the number of
women employed in factories .was
30,443 and in 1919 it was 28,730.
In the former year there were 9,500
adult women employed in the ofﬁces
connected with manufacturing plants
and in the latter year nearly 11,000.

In 1914 there were,24 separate
manufacturing concerns in the city
that employed over 1,000 men each.
In 1919 there were 50 With over

1,000 each. and of these 12 had over «

5,000.

AN EASY WAY TO FIGURE m
‘ COST OF PAINTING . H ,
Many a farmer‘is thinking about 
painting this spring, and is wonder- ' '
ing if he can ﬁgure out just how;
much paint he needs. Any farmer i.
can ﬁgure the answer out for him- ‘-
self. Start with the fact that in row '
painting the average outside paint.

will cover 4400 sq. ft. of surface with??_ '-

two coats of paint. Just ﬁgure the 
sq. ft. of surface which your‘barn or .;
other structure has, and then divide L
this by 400 to ﬁnd out the number ,
of gallons of paint which you need.~
A barn 30 feet long, 16 feet wide, 13

feet high on the sides wil have a 

ft. area of approximately 1500. This r‘

will take less than 4 gallons of paint, , _

,say at $4.00 a gallon, or $16 to pro- ’

tect a good sized barn for four years.  ' 

or $4.00 a year. —' . ' , . ,,
Any bank will lend from .10-to 30.  :

per cent more on a painted barn or: 

other structure than on one  
needs paint. ' This lsiwhy farmers are 2'-
painting as they never have befong "

USE PURE BRED SIRES

Estimates furnished by the Dairy Division
of the United States Department of Agricul-
ture show that the dairy cows of the country
average only 4,500 lbs. of milk per year.

A good Holstein bull will increase the pro
duction of the ordinary herd 50 per cent in
the ﬁrst generation.

Let us help you find a good one to use or
