Better Understanding Needed

Recent newspaper- reports inform us that
the packers and retail meat dealers of the

country are'forming an organization for

the purpose of promoting improved meth-
ods for merchandising meats. It is claim-
ed, that when this organization gets down
to business, the cost of fresh meats to the
consumer will be considerably decreased
without a cOrresponding decrease in the
price paid to the producer. The above in-
formation should be rich in suggestion to
the American farmer. The Farm Bureau
committee of 15, selected for the study of

'present live stock marketing methods, will

do well if they give the big packers an op-
con-
cerning a subject with the intimate details
of which they are more familiar than any-
one else:" Itois quite possible that packers
might decline to co-operate; the facts about
this phase of the situation will never be

known until the men who are interested

inthe production end of the business, make
an honest, effort to ascertain the mind of
the packer in relation to this important
matter. . v

It. is‘an.0pen secret, that under the live
Stock marketing conditions which have pre-
vailed during the past year, the packing-
house business has not prospered. So far,

intOthe Future of Livestock Markets

Trend of Values will ’be Upward During Coming Year

in the history of this country, it has not
been possible for the producer of live stock
and the packer to come to an amicable un-
derstanding one with the other. Possibly,
there may have been a change in conditions,
who knows? What about some sort of an
understanding between producer and dis-

- tributor, that would increase the amount

received by the producer without increas-
ing the cost to the consumer?

The future of sheep and lamb markets is
problematical at this writing; the tremen-
dous stock of frozen mutton and lamb still
in the coolers of the country, hangs like a
pall over this branch of the market. Stor-
age conditions, in connection with mutton
and lamb, are quite diiferent from those
which have a bearing on the future market
for beef. Stocks of frozen beef are now
less than 100,000,000 pounds, while on this
date, last year, 250,000,000 pounds of froz-
en beef was waiting to be marketed. The
supply of frozen mutton and lamb, still in
the coolers of the country, is many times
what it was on this date last year. The
wool market is dull and heavy with little
hope of improvement for some time to
come. The decrease in the output of feed-
er sheep and lambs from the leading mar-
kets'of the country during the months of
January and February was 65.76 per cent
when compared with the same period last
year. That the sheep are not on feed is a
foregone conclusion. The question is, will
the demand for fresh-killed mutton and
lamb be insistent enough to cause an in-
crease in selling prices?

The hOg breeders of the country are in-
tensely anxious concerning the future and

well they may be. The thought

that American hog raisers
must go on, year after year,
producing millions of the
ﬁnest hogs that the sun ever
shone on, just for the accom-
modation of the packers of
the country and without hope
of proﬁt to themselves, is re-‘
pugnant in the extreme. Here
again, is a rare opportunity
for amicable co-operation be-
tween the packer and the pro-
ducer but will the packer co-
operate is the vital question?

it would decrease the revenues for

the Indiana line and running north-
eastorly across the state to Port San-

The

of the state and it would seem that
we should do well to conﬁne our ef-
forts at present to the construction

and then make such addétions as may
then seem necessary or advisabla.
Senator Penny is from Saginaw and
it will probably occasion general sur-
prise to note that this proposed'new
trunk line would pass through that

 -‘ _ A j ' Farm-LaborOrganization Takes Field With Ultra-Progressive Economic Progress
  ‘ EPRESENTATIVES of the People’s Re- ’

Construction League metin‘De’trOit last
Saturday to discuss the legislative program of
the League, which includes immediate restor-
ation of the railroads to uniﬁed government-
Operation, packer control legislatiOn, progres-
'sive taxation of estates, incomes and excess
proﬁts, and a vigorous ﬁght against a retail
sales tax and other consumption taxes, feder-
. 31 control of natural resources, changing the
banking and credit system sons to make it
' serve the people instead of the big ﬁnanciers,
and opposing universal military training.

Senator Herbert F. Baker, of Weadock,
Michigan, president of the League and, of the
Farmers’ National Council, declares that the
adoption of this, program will save the farm-
ersand laboring men of the country six bil-
lion dollars per year. Sen. Baker and Mr.
Carey Ferguson, president of the Michigan
State Federation of Labor were organized to
elect a state committee of the League and to
‘ prepare a plan of action.

Speakers at the Detroit conference included
Benjamin C. March, of Washington, D. 0.,
who is secretary of the League; Wm. H. John-
ston, president of the International Associa-
tion of Machinists; C‘. C. 'Coxinolly, president
or. the United Farmers of America; and Bish- '
op C. D. Williams of the Episcopal diocese of
Detroit. Although the latter is not actively
identiﬁed with 'the League, he warmly endors—
ed its program.

Baker Raps CumminsEsch Law

The burden of Sen. Baker’s remarks before
the conference dealt with the railroad situa-
tion. He said in part: .

"Farmers-know that it is almost a calamity to
be a farmer. and that this is due to causes which
can be changed ,by Congress and by cooperative
activity between farmers. through ‘ commodity
.marketing and direct trading between farmer
producers and city consumers, In this conference
we, are concerned primarily with the legislative
program of the People's Reconstruction League,
which enlists the interests of eyery clear~thinking
farmer and worker, because it means saving the

 

 

Platform'lof People’s Reconstruction
League

ESOLUTIONS adopted‘ by the League
R in session at Detroit reﬂect the “plat-
form” of the League. They are as
follows: . '

1. Legislation to provide strict federal
control of the deveIOpment of the natural
resources,—coal, iron, copper, phosphates,
natural gas, water power and timber land.

2. Legislation limiting the use of the
people’s deposits in national and state banks
to legitimate productible purposes, (rather
than speculative).

3. Opposition to any sales or other con-
sumption tax, and retention of taxes levied
during the war upon incomes and excess
proﬁts. ~

4'. Denunciation of universal 'hiilitary '_
training as unjustiﬁed and a menace to Ann-
erican institutions and to economic and po-
litical democracy. '

5. Governinent control of packing in-
dustry.

6. Opposition to sic-called. “open shop"
plan as a. move to destroy. organized labor
and detrimental to the interests of the
country.

farmers of America at least $3,000.000,000 a year.
--‘tha-t is to say. a. goodly sum for every broke
farmer, an average of over $400 for a farm family
oi six. .

“Some farmers were fooled a year ago by the
propaganda of the railroads for the / Cummins-
Esch Law. That ‘law was one of the most serious
blows ever struck at agriculture. The Depart-
ment of Agriculture states that the value of all
farm products last year was over $5,000,000,000
less than for 1919. although most of the staple
crops were much larger than in 1919. The slump
in prices of farm products from July to December
or last year was at least $5,000,000,000. On top
of this came the the increase of one-third in
freight, rates from the vicious Cummins-Esch
Law. . The price which. the farmers got for their
products went down from a third to a half, and
sometimes two-thirds, while freight rates Went up
a third. The only possible relief for farmers
from the exhorbitant freight rates due to the whole
Cummins-Esch Law and the bad system of pri-

operation of rail-
restoration of
operation. If
hardly probable

rate competitive speculative
roads is through the immediate
railroads rto uniﬁed Government
there be any deﬁcit, which is

when the railroads are so returned. it should be
made up by taxation upon the ‘proﬁteers. Freight
rates should be reduced to rthose in force when
the roads were returned. The last twelve months’
experience shows that under competitive opera-
tion the railroads are becoming insolvent, despite
an enormous government subsidy of three-quar-
ters of a billion or a billion dollars a year and ut-
terly inefﬁcient with such subsidy.” '

Marsh Criticizes A. F. B. F.

Benjamin Marsh devoted a. good deal of his

time to a discussion of the “reactionary lead—
ership” of the American Farm Bureau Feder-
ation, which, he charged, in conjunction with
the leaders of the National Grange and two or
or three other minor farm organizations, “is
responsible for the enactment of the Cum-
mins—Esch law, which turned the treasury of
the United States over to the speculative
gamblers of Wall Street.” He called the en-
dorsement of this law by the above farm or-
ganizations a “betrayal” of the farmers, and
charged that by such action the A. F. B. F.
has “already cost the farmers of the United
States at least a billion dollars during the past
year.” Continuing he said:
' “We know that when the farmers of Michigan
and every other state in which there is a Farm
Bureau Federation realize this fact they will in-
sist that the national leaders of the Farm Bureau
Federation quilt playing the game of Wall Street,
and get behind a sound and just program such as
that of the Farmers’ National Council and the
People’s Reconstruction League.”

Sees Disaster Ahead

Mr. Marsh also alleged that the present con-
ditions of industrial depression, unemploy-
ment and poverty of agriculture are the re-
sults of “vicious legislation which congress
has enacted.” Upon this point he said:

“Two years and a half nearly have elapsed
since the ArmistiCe following the Great War, and
the world is in a more dangerous situation than
at any time almost during the war. Before the
Great War started, the (Continued on page 11)

Michigan Backs Marketing Plan

ICHIGAN grain growers have endors-

for the co-operative marketing on a nation-
al scaje of all the surplus grain nrops of
the United States. This is the news that
comes from East Lansing following a meet-
ing of one hundred grain growers, manag-
ers of co-operative grain marketing associ-
ations; county agents and others interested
in the co-operative marketing plan who were
precent tp listen to a. discussion of the plan

‘ all risk to the livestock from death, accident, ’

and other causes, the ﬁnancial result to them
might have been the same as with this ship-
ping association. .,

We don’t imagine that many" shippers
would make a contract of this kind. How-
ever, that was the result of co-operative ship-
ping in Adams County during the past year.
In addition to getting economical service they

. have built up an’ organization for the efficient
‘handling of their livestock business.

Last year the newly organized county
shipping association did a total of' $1,200,-
067.18 worth of business, representing 610
cars of stock at a total home cost plus insur-
ance of $12,699.99, or in other words on a
margin of 1.05 per cent of 'the returns.

The total terminal charges, including the
freight, amounted to $48,938.45. This made
the total marketing charge 60.4 cents per
hundred pounds or a margin of 5.2 per cent
of the total receipts from the livestock. 3,044
cattle were shipped which weighed 1,914;
685 pounds at home and shrunk 58,850
pounds or 19 1-2 pounds per head.
hogs weighed 8,374,658 pounds at home and
shrunk 98,978 pounds, or 2 1-2 pounds per
head. 3,091 sheep weighed 232,588 pounds
and shrunk 11,818 pounds, or a total of 3.8
pounds per head” The average shrink on all
shipments was 1.15 per

home price and the market price betwen 70
and' 80 cents per hundred.

C. C. Mast, a young man who had -: been
shipping apples and fruit but with no large
in shipping livestock,
put in application to this group of men for
manager of their organization. \‘ They hired
him and set h'm to work. The results have
been due to his efforts, those of County Agent
F. A. Gougler, who took County Agent Rusk’s
ofﬁce, and a large group of men who Were de-
termined to put livestock shipping on a better
basis. \

The ﬁrst three months Mr. ‘Mast spent his"

time driving in the day time to see and talk
to farmers about the shipping association and
then used the telephone at night to try to col-
lect up carloads of stock for shipment. Be-

tween two and three hundred joined the or-'

ganization before any carloads were shipped
out. The ﬁrst shipment started in Septem-
ber, 1919. ~
Appoint Assistant Manager

The ﬁrst assistant manager was appointed
at the small town of Fowler, a few miles out
of Quincy. The county manager had two
carloads of stock ready for shipinent the
same day but they were thirty-two miles

. apart. He paid a man who had been h/elping

him $4 a day to help load the stock. Later he
had this man help load several cars in this
way. They found however, that such a Sys-
tem did not werk satisfactorily because the
local men could more efﬁciently get in touch
with the stock to ship than the county mana—
ger so a new plan Was put into operation
whereby the local manager Would get three-

Were somewhat different so that a
lot of their problems had to be
worked out for themselves. In

days of the development of Michigan
spring wheat was very widely grown, espec-
ially in newly cleared areas. When agricul-
ture became more settled, winter wheat very
largely replaced spring wheat, because of its
better yielding ability.

During the war there was a great revival

of interest and increase in acreage of spring
Wheat, but it seems as though this increased
acreage will soon be replaced by winter wheat
and oats and barley. Even in the Upper
Peninsula winter wheat is gaining headway
because of its superior yielding ability in
many localities.

Ignition Trouble

There are many different forms of ignition
troubles, and they are' all so nearly alike in
the effect they have 'on the operation of the
motor that it is almost impossible to tell just
where the trouble lies without a careful ex-
amination. On most magnetoes' there is a
small breaker box on one side covered with a
cap about one inch or more in diameter,
which contains the platinum sparking points.
These points get pitted or corroded after
much use and the result is a very weak spark
and sometimes no spark at all, making the
motor very difﬁcult and sometimes impossi:
ble to start, and giving poor service when
started. These points should be taken out
and dressed with a ﬁne ﬁle. A steady hand
and a good eye is necessary for this job. The
points must be ﬁled perfectly flat so that
they will make a perfect contact, and every—
thing must be replaced exactly as it was tak-
en otf. The points need only to be ﬁled enough
to take off all corrosion or pit marks, and they

adjustment in this case needs to be rather

‘ Operator Time and Money

Continuous missing ﬁre in one or more c'yI-' f.
inders is usually caused by ﬁlthy or broken ._
spark plugs either too wide or too narrow, or .,
by broken or defective wiring. Raw wires, '
allowing the current to short circuit to some
part of the motor will sometimes cause this,
but if this is the case the engine will usually
kick backwards when being started. The
spark plugs should be taken out and cleaned
frequently with gasoline, and if the plug can
be taken apart it can be cleaned thoroughly.
The sparking points on the plugs should be
adjusted after each cleaning, the thickness of
a worn ten cent piece being about the proper
clearance for spark plug points. The plugs
should be examined closely for defects, as a
very small crack in the insulation. is sufﬁci-
ent to allow the current to get through.

Carbon deposits in the cylinders is a very
annoying and quite common cause of tractor
trouble and is more common in tractors hav-
ing an overhead exhauSt than on those where
the exhaust is below or at the side. This
form of ignition trouble is not noticed on a
cold motor. After the motor gets thoroughly
warmed it ﬁres irrcgularily. heats up, shows
loss of power, and if cranked when hot Will
back ﬁre. This is caule by the carbon de-
posits becoming red hot. and ﬁring the charge
prematurely. The cause of these carbon de-
posits is using too much cylinder oil, or us-
ing a grade not suited to that type of motor.
It can be gotten rid of by taking out the
spark plugs and pouring about One pint of
kerosene in each hole letting the motor stand
over night after this is done. The kerosene
loosens up the carbon, and it will be blown
out through the exhaust when the motor is
started the next time.

Defective wiring often causes trouble. It
is noticed by missing ﬁre in one or more cyl-
inders, loss of power, irregular ﬁring, and the
motor will kick back when starting. It may .
be'caused by the insulation being worn off
the wires, or by not being prOperly rewired
at some time when the wiring was taken off;
or the wire may be broken somewhere inside
the insulation, making a new wire necessary.
If it is caused by the wires not being put on
properly it will be necessary to determine the
order of ﬁring in the cylinders in order to~
get the wires to their proper place if they are
all of the same color and have no marks by
which they can be identiﬁed.

The Government As a Competitor

0 ONE can estimate the terrible price
which the farmer will have to pay for
[his war-time prosperity. The past few
months have revealed a few of the evils of
war—time demand and war—time prices, but
not all. Other disclosures are to follow, and
it may be years before the farmer will know
the actual extent of the injury which the war
has wrought upon his business. '
Since the close of the war the government
has been one of the farmer’s most active com!
pctitors. Cessation of hostilities found the
army and navy loaded up with enormous sup-
plies of canned food products. For two and a
half years these goods have been flowing into
the channels of trade competing with the
wares of the farms. Nor is. the end in sight.
As recently as last week the quartermaster’s
department of the U. S. Navy advertised can—
ned foods for sale in many leading newspa-
pers of the country. This takes no account of
the vast, but unknown, quantity remaining in
the hands of private dealers who bought from
the government at a large discount shortly af-
ter the war, and were caught holding the bag

dollars on his purchases from the g0vcrnmcnt

in the United States.
Three hundred cars of bacon, at 18 cents per

I The Lobbyist
SENATOR Duncan McRaé sought to turn

the spotlight on the professional lobbyists
who infest the state capitol at Lansing, by in-
troducing a bill requiring all such gentry to
register and state the name of their employ—
crs and the amount of salary received for
their work. The bill was a good one and
should have passed but it met with the unit-
ed opposition of the reactionaries of the sen-
ate and was defeated.

The professional lobbyist is as a rule a
creature of dwarfed principles. In the ma-
jority of cases he is a lawyer, who prefers to
, . earn his living by his wits rather than by hon-
  work, or perhaps an ex-ofﬁce holder who

' has given up all hopes of ever. again receiving
 savers rat « the hands of - the voters.
* ‘ fessional lobbyist will sell his soul for a
price.’ The value of his services to his- em-
 ployers is measured by' two yardsticks. The
ﬁngny these is:  willingness to “surrender

jority of those who appear in the “ legislative
halls at Lansing and button-hole the members
of the legislature are men who are paid to go
there for that purpose and Whose moral con-
victions have been stunted for a wage.

As a rule the professiOnal lobbyist works
in the dark. If he is to be tolerated at all for
the sake of good government let us put-e him
in the limelight where all eyes may behold
him and his works. '

“Banditry Must End”
0 SAYS the Governor, and all Michigan
echoes “amen.” But banditry will never
end so long as positions of police authority
are occupied by spineless men who surrender
their duties to whiskerless and irresponsible
youths in uniform. We have had the state
police for about tWO and one-half years. De-
spite this addition to our law enforcement

machinery crime has never been so prevalent ,

or shocking as duringthis period. We do not
mean to imply that the state police have been
responsible for the increase of crime, .but we
do mean to charge that they have not been
able to check crime. Being in uniform the
state police are conspicuous objects upon the
highway or in the village, and the law violat-
or is able to keep track of their whereabouts
at all times. Instances are rare if not entire.
1y lacking of the state police surprising trans-
ient criminals at work, and the number of ap-
prehensions of bank robbers and murderers
by members of the state police are negligible.
The police have proven their ineffectualness in
coping with the crime situation and common
sense and economy demand that they be leg-
islated out of existence and the duties they
haVe been attempting to carry out restored“to
resident civil ofﬁcers and inspectors of the
new public safety department. Then if the
Governor will force these men to do their dut-
ies we may have some hope of once more con-
trolling crime in our fair state.

One-Man Government ' I

HE STATE Democrats who must ﬁnd
some flaws in the present state adminis-
tration profess great alarm over the way in
which Governor Groesbeck is‘ directing the ..
course of legislatiOn and centralizing execu-
tive power in his hands.
present governor enjoys more power than
any of his predecessors of’reccnt memory. His
program of consolidation and centralization
out in" his
shrewd mind long before he took the govern-
or’s chair has been put through by a docile
legislature without a single hitch. 'Ere the
legislature adjourns his administratiVe board,
over which‘he rules supreme, will have been
delegated with almost unlimited power over

all state business. r'
Heretofore the governor of Michigan has
in
fact. In View of the mediocre calibre of some
of our governors, it were well that power was
denied them. Some of these governors have
been acceptable ﬁgure heads, but woefully un-
ﬁt to carry on the business of so great a cor-
poration as the commonwealth of Michigan.
But the man who occupies the governor’s
chair today is a man of real ability Who has a
practical program for consolidation, economy
and taxation. Every step which he has tak-
en so far to put his program into effect has
commended itself to the legislature and to

the private citizens who have given it ' any -

thought. I _ . . .

Publicity for the Farmer

F ORMER SECRETARY of Agriculture
Meredith devoted the major part of his ,
energies while in ofﬁce to “selling” the dc- ‘
'partment of agriculture to the people of the
cities, hoping that through this medium they‘
might take a more intelligent and sympathetic
interest in the problems of the farmer. This
policy was in striking contradt to that of
Houston, Meredith’s predecessor, who not ‘
only failed to enter into any public discus- y
sions of the farmer’s problems, but on the '
contrary, so it seemed, took a position which -
placed agriculture in a most unfavorable light
before the general public. Fortunately the
new Secretary of Agriculture, Henry C. Wal-_ ' ‘
lace, seems inclined to follpw the Meredith
policy, and in his ﬁrst ofﬁcial pronouncement
to the public he quite frankly discusses the
deplorable condition of agriculture, and in-
sists upon a fair appraisal of the farmers’ sits ‘
.uation. The education of the city people has ,
too long been neglected in matters ’of this ‘
kind. It is time for them to be enlightened,

and the department of agriculture is the sin-z ‘ '

strument for the job. By persistent hammer-
ing the time may come when the people of the
cities will have a true understanding of the
problems of those who produce their food.‘

Grain Exchanges and the Farmer

“PERNICIOUS legislation,” is what. a
Kansas City speculator calls a measure!
that has been introduced in the Kansas legis-
lature-to declare grain exchanges open mar-
kets and force them to admit farmers" co-op-
erative companies into their membership. It
has never been clearly explained to farmers.
why their cooperative» companies are barred

from membership in grain .and livestock ex-ﬂ '

changes. The .logical conclusion is that the
members of these exchanges Wish to put 00—-
operative companies at a disadvantage in the 
hopes. of crippling the co-Operative movement : '»
which bids fair to put the Skids underthe age- '
01d methods of marketing. " ’ a

- Newspapers of the state which have been back-

 ; ORVSUNDAY LAWS
E-GA'RDING the activities of the
'd-Sund‘ay law reformers to bring
about a more rigid enforcement

of such laws, let me say that religion
as an action of the mind, a matter of
faith, is beyond the. power of law to
give or take away, but it is possible
for civil government to interfere with

the exercise of that faith.

~ No human power can prevent one
believing that the seventh day—
Saturday-——is the Sabbath and the
only day that should be regularly
observed as a day of, sacred rest. But
it is possible to ﬁne or imprison one
who reduces his faith to practice by

, resting only upon that day. If a

law were enacted compelling all to
rest on Sunday, allowing the Sab-
batarian to rest also on the day of
his choice, it would be depriving him-
of one business day each week; in
other words, ﬁning him one-sixth of
the working time for the privilege of
exercising religious freedom. To
prevent such persecution, the Con-
stitution was made to forbid the en-
actment of any law "respecting an
establishment of religion," wr inter-
fering with""the free exercise there--
of.” The Constitution was made to
safe-guard the fundamental rights of
citizens, even should a majority arise
against them. For a while the ma-
jority should rule in all matters of
.public business and policy relative to
man’s duty to man, yet no majority,
however great, can alter a fact, cre—
ate a principle, or coerce the con-
science. If the will of the majority,
because it is the majority makes
wrong right, then the broad road
that ,leads to death and destruction
becomes the highway of life when
overwhelming majority goes that
way.—-A Lover of Liberty.

While it is hardly likely that the ad-
vocates of “blue Sunday” laws have
taken into consideration the effect these
laws would have upon those who ob-
serve Saturday as the true “Sabbath.”
it is certain that the adoption of the pro—
posed laws would be a serious interfer-
ence with the constitutional rights of the
Saturday observers. . The motives of
those who seek by law more rigid ob-
servance of Sunday as the “Lord’s day,”
are beyond question. But the methods
which they would employ can never be
adopted—Editor. .

DOES (JO-OPERATION PAY?

HE PAST few months have been
full of agitation along the line of
bettering --the farmers’ condition
both social and ﬁnancial. We are
asked to give time and money in
support of many schemes to attain
perfection in co—operation. How it
will all end no man can say. Per-
sonally I think the man who has
plenty of money to get the things he
needs will usually handle his farm
and business ‘ ﬁrst rate himself.
Therefore the greatest efforts should
be directed toward helping him to
realize more cash. So far it seems
as though the efforts now being made
cross in so many places and we are
burdened with so many useless of-
ﬁcials that in the end the results of
buying and selling through the vari-
ous associations, etc., leave 'no more
cash on hand than we evergot. I
know the men at the head of these
various methods will say I am wrong
and try to prov‘e that we really get
more out of our products, but I
know that it isn’t so. Perhaps some
day We may, so far we haven’t, all
things considered. ,
The main purpose of my letter is
to call your attention to the seed po-
tato swindle. You know how the
,college men, the county agents and
the Michigan Potato ‘Gro’wers’ Ex—
change are‘booming the seed pota-
to business. It seemsto be the larg-
per stock in trade to bopm. Some-
thing all the time that only a few,
are supposed to have and that every
, one else Ought to get. The claim
. at‘present is, that _we.should all raise
Petoskey Golden Russet potatoes,
and. ,thatuthose who need seed should
get certiﬁed seed, the same. being
,seed grown from 1 ﬁelds that have

such ’money is all bosh. If «we are
going to be one large family of farm-
ers striving to aid each other, why
impose on those who must purchase
seed potatoes or any other seed, in
the effort to gain an unreasonable re-
turn for the man who grew it. First

of all, so far as the certiﬁed seed,

potatoes that I know of, they have
been, grown in the same manner and
at the same cost as other potatoes
around here. It is true that they
should bring a few cents more than
other'seed, probably 25 cents per
bushel. The ﬁeld inspection, once
instead of three times, as they say, is
paid for by state funds as I under-
stand it,’ therefore the buyer stands
a share of it anyway. The grower of
this seed is to no more expense than
any other grower. Such extra work
of weeding out diseased plants as
may be done has its own reward-and
many‘do it that do not have the
ﬁelds certiﬁed. I had last fall and
still have several hundred‘bushels of
potatoes that sell for 15c to 400 per
bushel that are just as good seed as
any certiﬁed stuff in Cheboygan
county and there are others here in
the same ﬁx. Of course there are
many ﬁelds of potatoes that are so
full of disease they are worthless for
seed. However, nobody need be held
up for $2.00 seed if they will nose
around a bit. I don't call it co—op-
oration, do .you?—Olare D. Scott_
Oheboygan County, Mich.

Don’t think that you are the only
farmer who has ever asked himself the
question, 'does co—operation pay?” Many
others have puzzled their brains over the
same question. The direct beneﬁts of
co—operation have undoubtedly been ov-
er—estimated. The indirect beneﬁts have
been under-estimated. The American
co-operative movement is still in its
infancy, It's had a hard time a-born-
ing. Its charms have been sung forth to
the world by an admiring army of cous-
ins and aunts and uncles and nephews
and friends who perceive no imperfections
in the infant. But its got to grow into
stalwart manhood before it can justify
its birth. Have patience,‘ Out of the
nebulous theories of yesterday there is
gradually taking form a. concrete. prac-
tical plan of co—operation which if giv-
en half a chance must become a power-
ful economic and political factor in agri-
culture. . -

About those seed potatoes. The Col-
lege will 'co-operate with any farmer in
Michigan who wants to grow certified
seed potatoes. The prices look fancy.
I’ll admit. but if the growing of certiﬁed
seed is actually a highly proﬁtable bus-
iness at these prices, competition would
soon force the price down. The fact
that few farmers care to go to the
trouble and expense of growing certiﬁ-
ed seed, preferring to buy their seed,
seems to show that they do not consider
the prices charged excessive, Have you
not also considered that the high prices
charged by the College are really a. help
instead of a hindrance to farmers who
have seed that is “just as good?"-—Ed-
itor,

AM VERY much interested in the

facts disclosed in this article, as

a breeder and shipper of pure
bred hogs for 15 years and for three
years secretary of the Michigan
Berkshire Breeders’ Association. I
have had some experience in troubles
with barren sows.

As a rule the breeder is far more
liberal than the purchaser, for the
breeder has his reputation at stake
and if a good sincere character will
back his reputation to the limit.

I think it should be a fast rule
with all breeders that in event that
an animal should prove out barren
after sale, that the breeder should
take back the animal and refund the
money to the amount of the purchase
price, or order the animal sold on.
the block, tendering the purchaser
the difference between the meat
price and the purchase price. I will
admit that the purchaser has been to
a loss of time and some damage in
the case, but if a square dealer they
will be willing to offset their incon-
veniences with those. of the breeder.

A breeder never loses in the long
run by going a little more than half
way to make good an adjustment of
this nature.~—Chas. B. Smelly, Lapeer

THE STORY OF THE RESURREC-
TION
' N THE END of the Sabbath, as it
began to dawn toward the ﬁrst
day of the week, came Mary Mag-
dalene and the other Mary to see the
sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great
earthquake; for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven and
came and rolled back the stone from
the door, and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightn-
ing, and his raiment white as snow:
and for fear of him the keepers did
shake, and become as dead men; and
the angel answered and said unto
the women, “Fear not ye; for I know
that ye seek Jesus, which was cru‘
ciﬁed; He is not here; for He is
risen, as He said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay. And go
quickly and tell his disciples that He

have been received from this source
since late last summer. A quite
general revival of activities in auto-

ported and a marked increaseis not-

' ed in the volume of purchasing op-
erations, in connection with daily

and future supplies of raw material

made during the past week, by prom-

daily rate of production and future

crease in the number of men called

While the prevailing opinion
seems to be that liquidation in food
products is just about over, recent
marked declines in the selling value
of certain staple commodities and
basic raw materials remind us that
prices are never so low that untow-
ard conditions and a discouraging
outlook cannot make them go low-
er, temporarily, at least. Recent
marked declines in cereal prices
while they seem to have increased
the volume of export buying, have
had the opposite effect on the do-

AFTER the balance of the mar-
MWo mallet! hour of

selling of stocks held by large houses
who became tired of holding for
higher prices. The current week
opened with mode-rate advances in
prices, but nothing of a startling na-
ture: only a reaction from the weak-
ness of last week.» The
found buyers with seaboard connec-
tions bidding and indications point-
ed to considerable export business.

CORN

 

The early part of last week was a
period of weakness in the wheat
market and declines were noted.
This weakness gave way to some
strength the middle of the week but
it only held for one day after which
prices continued downward and the
closing day was one of quietness.
The sagging tendency was ascribed
to scarcity of both foreign and do~
mestic demand and to the news that
the growing crop was
nicely and rain was needed only in
remote sections. However, foreign
countries seemed to have their eyes
on our wheat because a sharp de-
cline brought their buyers into the
market which prevented any serious
declines of duration; if it had not
been for the watchful eyes of these
agents it is a question as to how low
levels prices would have ventured.
Another factor having much to do
with the weakness of wheat was the

Corn worked lower last week ow-
ing in a large part to the weakness
in wheat but prices did not declines
as rapidly. An uninterested public
and large receipts from country ele-
vators also helped the recession of
prices. The fact that the most act-
ive buyers were those who have
been very large sellers the past few
weeks would lead one to believe
stocks on markets were about sold
out and dealers were looking for
higher values in the future. Corn
rose with wheat Monday of the pres-
ent week and dealers say receipts
are smaller, farmers appearing re-
luctant sellers.

-Last Saturday marked the closing

markets and little interest was
shown although some attention was
attracted to the increased southern

600 cars and only 362 a year ago.

LIVESTOCK MARKETS

The anticipation of a. packing-
house‘ strike is raising havoc with
the live stock and packing busine’ss '
in all lines of the trade; at this“
writing, efforts are being made to
arbitrate the differences which have
developed, between the packers of ;
the country and their employes, con-
cerning the wage scale but with scant-
hope of success. As far as Detroit
and Michigan are concerned, it de- :
velops that the calling of a. strike ,_
will have but little influence. De-
troit packing house workers submit-
ted-to a wage reduction late lslst fall;
much more important than the fact
that they are willing to accept low-

that they can work, no matter what,
